Just Seven Dollars for a Very Good CauseThe exciting weekend of July 26, 27, 28 will be filled with fun for a very good reason. The proceeds of the event will be divided between two very deserving entities: Chimacum Schools, educating the youth of our County to prepare them for a successful future, and OlyCAP, helping others to help themselves. Last year, PLFA was able to give each group $2500, and they are hoping to increase that amount this year.

The admission buttons feature the new Festival logo, and will cost $7 this year with profits going to these worthy causes. As of July 1, they are available in Port Ludlow at The Inn, Marina, Beach Club, Bay Club, Friday Market and Dana Pointe Interiors. In Port Hadlock, get your button at QFC; in Poulsbo, obtain one at Valley Nursery. If you are a participant in the tournaments or the gallery, your button will be included in your entrance fee.

Just think: three days of good music, two exciting concerts, delicious food, shopping for arts and crafts, and a fireworks show – all for only $7!

Why the Festival?by Linda Karp, Contributing Writer

The Port Ludlow festival has a history in our village. It began in the early 2000’s as Port Ludlow Days. In 2001, a week after 9/11, a procession of 200 people carrying white candles marched out to Burner Point. Past mili-tary members of the group were in uniform, and local musical groups played and sang patriotic music. Sally Derrig describes the moment, “It was a healing moment for the community.” Food, activities and entertainment were gathered from the community and Port Ludlow Days began. Sponsored by Port Ludlow Village Council (PLVC), Port Ludlow Days (briefly called Funfest) continued until 2010.

In 2011 a group of citizens, concerned about the growing needs in Jefferson County generated by the economic downturn, petitioned the PLVC requesting to break away and form a non-profit organization which would donate funds to deserving organizations. The PLVC Board agreed. The group registered as the non-profit Festival

Breakfast with Port Ludlow Fire and RescueCome kick off our weekend of fun at The Firemen’s Breakfast to be held on Friday, July 26, from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the Beach Club. For $5 you will be served pancakes with a variety of toppings, sausage links and coffee. The food is delicious, the coffee is hot, and the proceeds go to support the safety educational endeavors of our Port Ludlow Fire and Rescue.


By The Bay Association. Subsequent yearly celebrations have been called Port Ludlow Festival by the Bay.

The separation happened and PLVC has been supportive ever since. While its main goal is the celebration of our lovely community, the Port Ludlow Festival Association is an organization that believes in giving back to the community. As a result of the 2012 Festival, Chimacum Schools and OlyCAP each received $2,500 from the event proceeds. These organizations will also be our designated beneficiaries for 2013. Thanks to everyone involved for making the Festival a success! This year our Festival by the Bay will be bigger and better than ever before. We have more live music; food vendors, new and old; and activities all day long each day for the entire family.

The US Navy Rock Band Is Coming!Our music this year covers a wide spectrum, and we are excited to share it with you. We will have two concerts this year on Friday night, July 26, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. and two on Saturday night, July 27, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. followed by a thrilling fire-works show.

Friday night, Ranger and

the Re-Arrangers will open the concert with high energy gypsy jazz. At the heart of their sound is Ranger Sciacca’s sweet violin playing… his sense of melody and daring improvisations are amazing. A chance encounter with a CD of violin jazz ignited Ranger’s interest in playing Joe Venuti, Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt. Gypsy jazz style developed in France during the 1930’s by guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli, and no one is more aware of that happy fact than Ranger and the Re-Arrangers.

Capping off the night will be the US Navy Rock Band “Passage,” a high-energy rock band on the cutting edge

of today’s popular music scene. The ensemble performs a variety of selections from the current Top 40 charts to hits spanning the last 50 years. Their ability to play pop, R&B, Motown, classic rock, soul, hip-hop, swing, country, and disco make Passage ideal for all audiences and ages. Their repertoire includes hits by Taylor Swift, AC/DC, Bonnie Raitt, Bruno Mars, Journey, and Stevie Wonder.

On Saturday night, the James Redfern Band will open the concert. James says, “I want to make music that people can relate to and feel passionate about, but also makes it impossible for them not to move!” We’ll all be moving!

Headlining the concert will be The Kellee Bradley Band. Kellee has been compared to many of the finest female vocalists of our time, including Karen Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt, and Sheryl Crow, but she has a sound all her own. Kellee has opened for national artists like JoDee Messina, John Mellencamp, Huey Lewis and the News, Chicago and the Steve Miller Band at such places as The Gorge, Chateau Ste-Michelle Winery and the Moore Theater. Kellee is the whole package! She’s a great song-writer with an incredible voice and a dynamic performer.

During the days of the Festival on the Upper Stage, an array of great performers will give you hours of entertainment.

On Friday, July 26, the Port Ludlow Village Sounders will open the day’s schedule, followed by the Choral Belles and Kimberly Lyn, a solo bassist.

On Saturday, July 27, the Port Ludlow Singers start the day’s performances, followed by the Dance Within (dancers from the Dance Within Studio in Poulsbo), The Dukes of Dabob, a popular local group, and Rock Sanity, classic rock.

On Sunday, July 28, we open with the Brian Ellard Band from Port Townsend. Brian is a singer/songwriter and a master of the guitar and fiddle/violin.

The headliner who closes out the Festival 2013 will be Ian McFeron. A prolific songwriter whose lyrical prose and fervent work ethic has drawn comparison to Bob Dylan and Ryan Adams, Ian McFeron has released a steady stream of albums. His seventh, full-length album Time Will Take You was released April 2, 2013. From the begin-ning, McFeron dedicated himself to building audiences the old fashioned way: on the road. Traveling from city to city, state to state, nation to nation, McFeron performs an average of 200 shows a year spread throughout the United States and Europe, inspiring listeners with his beautifully crafted songs and honest narratives.

Ranie Pictures the FestivalRanie Keithahn’s poster has captured the spirit of our exciting “Festival by the Bay” with the bright blue water of our bay, bobbing boats in the Marina, green sloping banks, sparkling white vendors’ canopies, Saturday night concert fireworks and towering above it all, the snow- tipped mountains.

Enjoying the fun are two children in awe of all the excitement.

Ranie Keithahn, a third generation Alaskan, was born and raised in Juneau. She comes from a family with many artistic and creative talents. Ranie left her hometown of Juneau, Alaska in 1995 (where, by the way, her greatest art influence was her neighbor Rie Munoz), and eventu-ally settled in Port Ludlow. She is currently a popular vendor at the Market at the Marina and will have a booth at the festival.

Taku Graphics of Juneau picked up Ranie’s line of six cards in 1998 and has been her distributor ever since. She now has a line of 28 “Art” cards. A few themes run through her images: cozy coffee drinkers, fish and dogs. She also produces fabric panels of her images for quilting, paints originals on wood, canvas or watercolor paper, and needle-felted animals and people.

Ranie paints a cozy peaceful world, full of bright color, where she celebrates the gentle and humorous side of relationships. Her paintings are inspired by everyday activities, and her subject matter is primarily colorful cheerful people. At the festival she will have for sale art cards, original paintings, limited edition prints, quilt squares and needle-felted characters.

“My mother’s words were, ‘Be kind and do your very best’ as we left the house every school day,” Ranie shares, “and in her memory, I pass them along.”

Look for Ranie’s delightful Festival posters everywhere you go during July, and each time you see them, they will remind you of how happy you are to be living in our lovely village.

Feature Articles


From the Editor’s Keyboardby Beverly Browne, Managing Editor

The Port Ludlow Voice is a 501.(c) (4) organization, a classification granted to non-profit social welfare organizations, civic leagues and local associations of employees. To obtain tax exempt status, the activities of an organization must promote the general welfare of a community. The organization must maintain records and file tax docu-

ments although they are exempt from paying some taxes. Direct political intervention is forbidden.

I feel it is important to discuss our tax-exempt status because of the recent IRS scandal. To review, the bureau has been called on the carpet for selectively investigating conservative groups who have applied to be tax exempt. It does not seem to be able to clearly state the rules for accepting or denying applicants or why it focused on conservative groups. Having a better definition of polit-ical intervention would seem useful when conferring tax exempt status.

The Bright Lines Project, housed at Public Citizen, proposes that “unacceptable political intervention involves communications referring to a clearly identified candidate and reflect a view on that candidate.” Funds donated to political organizations are signs of trouble. Provision of voter education materials, statements of candidates that are not paid mass media advertising, and provision of candidate political records are and should be exempt in their view.

The Voice announces the names of candidates and pres-ents their biographies. We have, in the past, reported the content of political speech. We announce coming elec-tions and encourage voter participation. We discuss legis-lative measures. We do not carry political advertising. We do not provide donations to political groups. We do not encourage our volunteer staff to assume leadership roles in political groups. We attempt to keep our politics-related reporting within the bounds of voter education and well within the bounds of our tax classification.

In the past, we have received criticism for being “polit-ical” and it has been inferred that our tax exempt status is proof of that. In a way, it is, but only to the extent that

some of the news we report is political in nature. Our primary goal is to provide relevant information to our readers. Some of it is political; most of it is not.The views expressed in this editorial are the author’s and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the rest of the staff.

Property Tax Changesby Jen Portz, Contributing Writer

Washington State’s Department of Revenue (DOR) says property taxes account for roughly 30 percent of total state and local taxes and are the most important revenue source for junior taxing districts such as public schools, fire protection, libraries and parks and recreation. Historically, 17 counties (including Jefferson) revalued property for tax purposes on a four-year cycle; however in 2009 the State legislature passed SSB-5368, requiring all counties, as of January 1, 2014, to assess all properties annually.

Jefferson County Assessor Jack Westerman explains, “Assessed value is based on property sales, and I see every sale every day.” To handle the new requirement, DOR suggested counties be divided into six areas. Each year one area is physically inspected by appraisers to note individual property changes, and each year all areas are statistically revalued based on their specific area’s accu-mulated sales information for six months on either side of January 1.

The new law will impact the Assessor’s office. “We’ll need less appraisers and more statisticians,” Westerman notes, “but it’ll be a net-zero personnel cost” as current staff can handle the switch. Additionally, the department’s 25 year old Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal software (used for statistical analysis) must be replaced at an estimated cost of $350,000. The state would be paying the bill; SSB-5368 included funding mechanisms for such purchases.

While property values will change yearly, they are anticipated to move within a narrower range than in the past. For Port Ludlow the last decade was a roller coaster ride; from 2003 to 2007 home values nearly doubled, but by 2011 they’d fallen over 30 percent. Value modi-fications don’t necessarily mean tax bills change by a corresponding percentage, but what the new law does mean is less fluctuation in funding for both senior and junior taxing districts. Port Ludlow Fire and Rescue Commissioner Gene Carmody views the effect of the new


Tax Changes continued from previous page

law as a positive. “By eliminating these huge four-year swings we should see a more consistent revenue stream which means we can develop a more accurate strategic budget plan.”

“When the economy is improving,” Westerman observed, “people don’t mind seeing us every four years, but in a down-turning economy they want a yearly revaluation. I used to think it was difficult to tell someone their value had doubled, but explaining it has fallen 35 percent is much harder.” Nationally property values have trended up for some time, but only since May has Westerman seen them rebound county-wide. “I can’t say long range what will happen, but it’s a good surprise... a good direction.”

Plants Small and Tallby Eline Lybarger, Contributing Writer

Why are some plants able to attain great heights while others stay close to the ground? Woody tissue is a start, but even with woody tissue some trees top out at 10 feet while the tallest known living redwood (Sequoia semper-virens) is 379 feet tall.

We know that nutrient-rich water moves from the roots up the tree to the leaves by means of the xylem tubes. The leaves photosynthesize, producing sugar that is sent through the phloem tubes to the plant’s tissue, and the leaf exhales water and oxygen through its stomata or pores. Without a pump, how does the plant actually move the water up hundreds of feet?

At first it was thought that the release of water and oxygen created a kind of vacuum that drew up more moisture. A vacuum pump with a negative pressure of 15 pounds per square inch, which equals the positive down-ward pressure of the atmosphere, is able to raise a column of water only 34 feet. At this rate, a redwood would need about 270 pounds per square inch to move water to its top branches.

The secret is in the water and its cohesion. A water mole-cule has a negative pole on its oxygen atom and two posi-tive poles on its hydrogen atoms. When confined in a small area like the xylem tube, the opposite poles attract forming very stable, slender columns. A force of about 3,000 pounds per square inch is needed to break these bonds, which is about the same force needed to break steel wires of the same diameter. The column of water in the xylem keeps going up until it reaches 270 pounds of vacuum pres-sure per square inch and loses its capacity to rise.

Another limiting factor is that a great deal of energy is needed to unhook the water molecules from the tight

cohesion so they can be sent out through the stoma as water vapor. This energy comes from the sun, which is so powerful it produces a trillion times more energy every minute than the combined manmade power produced in a year. When all these factors come together the leaves become smaller, photosynthesis slows, stomata close more often, and the tree has reached its maximum height.

A Perfect Day to Linger Longer in Quilceneby Bev Rothenborg, Arts & Entertainment Editor

It was a beautiful day when I decided to explore close to home. The drive to Quilcene with pastoral views of green rolling hills, grazing cows, wild flowers and towering mountains—a reminder of Switzerland—always gives me a thrill.

At the Olympic Art Gallery, I met Terry Foltz whose scroll saw art captivated me. I had never seen such intricate carvings on beautiful pieces of maple and other woods. This is not your ubiquitous chain saw art! Go to scrollsaw-art.com to see for yourself. The gallery is open by appointment, so call owners Charlie and Sally Brown at 765-0200 or 360-531-2015.

Next stop was the Quilcene Village Store for picnic supplies. When the business went into foreclosure a number of years ago, a corporation was formed which many community members bought into. Dozens of volunteers helped whip the property into shape. The doors opened to sell gas in 2011 and food in 2012. They sell as much whole and local food as possible. This is a true community endeavor so let’s support them!

You’ll need this sustenance as you drive or bike down Linger Longer Road to explore the Hood Canal, a salt water fjord, where I encountered families gathering Manila clams and oysters. They had little rulers so that they could make sure the clams were of legal size. Did you know that Hood Canal has some of the slowest moving water in the Sound? Some of it hasn’t moved for two years so it’s quite warm. Well, my family in Hawaii might not agree with that!

After you’ve had your picnic at one of the spots along the way (there’s a huge spreading maple and a picnic table at the end of Linger Longer), check out the Quilcene Historical Museum, the Quilcene National Fish Hatchery and the Olympic National Forest Ranger District Office which has a wealth of free information. If you’re here on a weekend, you can take in a performance at the vener-able Olympic Music Festival. Concerts begin at 2:00 p.m. in an old barn surrounded by more of Quilcene’s beauty.



Go to olympicmusicfestival.org to learn more about the program.

There you go! You’ve had a fun day, haven’t traveled very far, spent much money or waited in any long lines! You’ve seen great beauty and have a head full of new facts! If there’s a better way to spend a day, let me know or write it up for the Voice.

Help Save the Life of a Heart Attack Victimby Autumn Pappas, Contributing Writer

A heart attack strikes someone every 34 seconds. Do you know what you need to know to help save a life? The Port Ludlow Village Council Wellness Committee’s forum “Heart Attack Protocols and Rehabilitation,” which was held this May, featured Cardiologist Dr. David Tinker, Paramedic/Firefighter Tim Manly and Cardiac Coordinator Judy King. In case you missed this informa-tive forum, here is a review.

Jefferson County’s cardiac protocols were introduced in 2009 when six organizations partnered together to form a very concise and highly efficient step-by-step protocol process of treating heart attack patients. Today, Jefferson County is one of only five counties across the country with cardiac protocols in place. The protocols have drastically reduced the time required to open an artery (60 minutes or less compared to 90 minutes for the National Guideline).

Classic symptoms include uncomfortable pressure, squeezing or pain in the chest. Pain or discomfort may exist in the arms, back, neck, jaw or stomach. Sweating, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, nausea and other symptoms are also common. Everyone is at risk for a heart attack, especially those who have one or more of the top five risk factors: hypertension, diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol and a family history of heart attacks. Elevated blood pressure, elevated triglycerides, stress, age, weight and a sedentary lifestyle are other risk factors.

If someone with you is having a heart attack, immediately call 911. If you are using a cell phone, tell the operator which county you are calling from. She will instruct you to begin CPR while you are still on the phone. The operator at 911 also notifies the hospital, so they are ready for the patient when they arrive. When the Emergency Medical Team (EMS) arrives, do not stop performing CPR until one of them takes over. The EMS will arrive with a team of people—all designated to perform different tasks.

All cardiac patients are sent to Harrison Medical Center. In case of a bridge closure, patients are airlifted to Harrison

Quilcene continued from previous page by Airlift Northwest. Do not drive to the hospital with a heart attack patient; a heart attack victim’s brain and heart muscle start to die 4-6 minutes after an attack. A professionally-trained EMS will quickly administer a drug to open up the heart vessels before the patient gets to the hospital. It could be the difference between life and death.

Cardiac Rehabilitation is a secondary prevention program that is medically supervised. It can slow or reverse the progression of coronary artery disease, assist patients in managing the disease, help patients return to healthy and active lifestyles, and improve their quantity and quality of life. Any patient with a diagnosis of chest pain, heart attack, coronary artery bypass graft, coronary stent, heart valve repair/replacement or cardiac transplantation should participate in cardiac rehab. Medicare covers 36 sessions for those with a qualifying diagnosis.

When a heart attack occurs, Dr. Tinker says, “There is not a moment to lose…time is (heart) muscle!” Have each member of your household list their information, medications, supplements and their side effects on a “File of Life” form. In preparation, put it on your refrigerator so it is easy for EMS to find. Know where your family/household member’s medications are as well; the hospital will want you to bring them with you. It is smart to have 324 milligrams of chewable, flavored low-dose aspirin on hand as you may have to give it to a heart attack victim. Make your home easy to locate with a sign that clearly displays your house numbers. Sign up for Airlift Northwest’s Air Care ($79/year for the entire household).

It is extremely important to know CPR since it will be needed if a heart attack occurs and you may be the only one available to administer it. A short video on CPR is displayed on Handsonlycpr.org. Last but not least, get your heart regularly checked by your doctor. For more information visit the cardiac section on plhealth.org, or see the “Cardiac Protocols” Notebook in the Beach Club’s glass case in the Bayview Room.

Checking Out Charitiesby Barbara Berthiaume, Contributing Writer

Americans give generously when there is a natural disaster or critical event. After the September 11 attacks, they donated over two billion dollars. The tsunami in Southeast Asia raised one and a half billion, and the response to Katrina raised a record breaking six and a half billion dollars.

We all want to give to a charity with the confidence that our donation is well spent, but the percentage of each dollar donated that the intended recipient receives varies greatly. Hope Consulting, a strategy and analysis firm




A Rare Recycling Updateby Steve Failla, PLVC Recycling Chair

Lost, one newspaper recycling bin! This bin has become the latest casualty of the internet revolution. Online news has reduced Skookum’s newspaper recycling volume so it is more economical to combine newspapers with mixed paper. At the mixed paper bin, shredded paper should be stuffed into paper bags and taped shut. Make sure you don’t tear the bags while fitting them through the bin windows. Sweeping up confetti is tedious, even chal-lenging, in the wind.

Concerning the glass bins, the BROWN and GREEN bin is ONLY for brown and green glass, no other colors. Only

that specializes in non-profits, shows that only about 30 percent of donors actually seek out information before donating. There are three non-profit websites that can help you make informed giving decisions and check out the rating of the charities to which you currently donate.

Charity Navigator (www.charitynavigator.org) works to guide intelligent giving. They rate charities by evalu-ating their Financial Health and Accountability and Transparency. Ratings show givers the current level of support, how well it has sustained its programs over time and level of commitment to being accountable, and its willingness to publish and make critical data about the organization available.

American Institute of Philanthropy’s Charity Watch (http://www.charitywatch.org) monitors over six hundred charities and selects only a few that qualify for their Top-Rated charities. Their mission is to maximize the effectiveness of every dollar contributed to a charity by providing donors with the information they need to make more informed giving decisions. Groups included on the Top-Rated list spend 75 percent or more of their budget on programs, spend $25 or less to raise $100, do not have large reserve funds, and have full financial disclosure.

The BBC Wise Giving Alliance (www.give.org) helps donors make informed giving decisions and promotes high standards of conduct of organizations that solicit donations from the public. They emphasize the impor-tance of finding out about charities before making a contribution, and publish an Annual Report on chari-ties that meet the Better Business Bureau Standards for Charity Accountability.

Charity rating sites can give you a good overall sense of how a charity is run. Check out these websites and see where your favorite charities rate.

Charities continued from previous page clear glass should go in the CLEAR (colorless) glass bin. Clear glass has good recycling value, except when it is contaminated with colored glass. Some wine bottles appear clear but are slightly tinted, thus are toxic for the clear bin. Put ALL wine bottles into the GREEN and BROWN glass bin. When there is an unacceptable high contamination of color in the clear glass, it is combined with the colored glass and results in lost income. Skookum gets a nice price for clear glass, but has to PAY $30/ton to dispose of their brown and green glass, plus about $20/ton for trucking to Olympia. Please rinse out the beer and wine bottles. Stale beer smells especially bad during the hot summer months.

The mixed plastic and cans bin has been the recipient of unre-cyclable garbage. You can help by following these rules:

Clear plastic drinking cups and food trays are not recy-clable even though they have #1 recycling codes. An easy rule of thumb is, if the opening at the top is larger than its base, it is not recyclable. This eliminates both plastic drink cups and food trays.

The #2 plastics are mostly for chemicals. All bottles containing dishwashing, laundry, bleaching and personal hygiene products such as shampoos are fine.

A good summary rule is if the product in the container is intended for consumption, personal hygiene, or cleaning utensils or clothing, then recycle it. Interestingly, Skookum Recycling Manager Matt Hall says the soap left in the containers smells good when being compacted in the bailer, so don’t rinse these out too thoroughly.

Specifically DO NOT recycle any automotive or lawn/garden containers. Many of these contain poisonous substances. Motor oil cannot be removed with detergents like vegetable oils, so if these containers are not seen and removed, their oil residues will destroy a whole batch of melted plastics. Also no chemical containers (aside from household cleaners) should ever be recycled.

When recycling cardboard, remove all the Styrofoam and packaging material from the cartons. If these are glued onto the cardboard, cut that portion of the card-board off and trash it. Cardboard is a good paying item for Skookum, but if processed with Styrofoam or other plastic, the whole batch is ruined.

A secondary but still vexing problem with cardboard is some people still do not break down their boxes before binning them. This markedly reduces the amount of cardboard that will fit in the bin, both leaving much less room for your neighbor’s cardboard, and increasing Skookum’s net loss. The profit Skookum makes with their military base contracts offsets their recycling operation

loss. Skookum’s business is not to make a profit. It is to provide jobs for developmentally disabled people. So although Skookum loses money on recycling year after year, they gladly absorb it to keep their twelve people employed. Recycling cleanly and correctly both reduces some of the unpleasantness of these folks’ jobs and helps Skookum minimize their losses.

Battery recycling is located behind the Bay Club dump-sters. Signs have not substantially reduced the problem of attempted recycle of alkaline and other non-rechargeable batteries. These are trash! ONLY rechargeable batteries are recyclable. I periodically have to sort through hundreds of batteries, one by one, to get a few dozen recyclables. I then put the alkalines into the dumpster where they wind up mixed in with household garbage. Last, please take your lead acid batteries like those used on golf carts, directly to a battery sales outlet such as Walmart.

Are River Cruises on Your Bucket List?by Shelley Henderson, Travel Planner

Are you tired of ocean cruises? Why not try a fabulous river cruise?

The typical river ship accommodates between 100 and 250 passengers. Most vessels resemble 5-star floating hotels, with “country club” casual dress, and some of the best dining you can ever experience. It’s life in the slow lane, cruising through incredible sights at a nice gentle pace, allowing you to immerse yourself right into the heart of amazing, less travelled destinations.

Food and wine connoisseurs may like a Tauck ten-day “Taste of France” itinerary. History buffs love the thirteen-day Viking “Waterways of the Czars” from St. Petersburg to Moscow. One of the most popular itiner-aries is Uniworld’s “European Jewels,” featuring fifteen wonderful days from Amsterdam to Budapest.

If exotic foreign destinations are calling to you, how about the fourteen-day, “Fascinating Vietnam, Cambodia, and the Mekong River” from Avalon Waterways? Seeing the Temples in Angkor Wat is a truly unforgettable experi-ence. If seeing the Great Wall of China and the Terra Cotta Warriors is appealing, Viking has some incredible China trips. You can even extend your trip to spend a few days in Hong Kong.

Adventure junkies like AmaWaterway’s fourteen-day “Stars of Africa” expedition including excursions through Chobe and Kruger National Parks and the amazing Victoria Falls.

Other exciting itineraries are available throughout Europe on the Rhine, Moselle, Main and Danube. How about a “Springtime Tulips and Windmills” from Amsterdam to Antwerp? Italy’s Po River and Venice Lagoon; France’s Paris and Normandy, Burgundy and Provence, even Portugal and Spain’s Douro River Valley are available. If you want to travel during the off season, try a Holiday Christmas Markets itinerary.

Whatever your interest, river cruising offers an excellent choice of destinations. Contact Shelley Henderson for information at 437-9094 or toll free at 888-651-6097.

Arts and Entertainment

Olympic Music Festival’s 30th Seasonby Bev Rothenborg, Arts and Entertainment Editor

The sounds of a Northwest spring are in the air—mostly the patter of raindrops alternating with glorious sunshine. The folks at the Olympic Music Festival have literally watched the grass grow. The farm is spruced up with new landscaping, new signs and new picnic areas. I’m ready to pack my lunch, grab a cushion and head for my favorite hay bale in the Barn.Julio Elizalde, a wonderful pianist who has performed at the Festival for the past five years, has joined their ranks as co-artistic director. He has been very successful in drawing the best young talent to the farm. And many of our favorites are returning! Teddy Abrams, clarinetist, will be back. I’ll never forget the year he played some unforgettable Benny Goodman tunes. Cellist Jennifer Culp and, of course, our beloved pianist Paul Hersh are returning. Charles Weatherbee and Korine Fujiwara who performed at the Bay Club last year are on the roster. Every weekend beginning Saturday, June 29 through Sunday, September 1, the dairy barn will reverberate with the sound of glorious music.

It is a short scenic drive to the Quilcene farm where the concerts take place. First, choose a picnic spot, leave your supplies and walk to the milking shed to purchase a beverage. If you are planning to sit in the 100-year-old dairy barn, you may reserve your seat when the barn doors open at 1:00 p.m. There are comfortable padded church pews or hay bales on the main floor or in the loft. Festival grounds open at 11:00 a.m. and the concert begins at 2:00 p.m., so there’s time to eat, stroll in the gardens and socialize with friends.

Seating in the barn is by general admission with the following advance purchase prices: adults, $30; seniors 62 plus, $28; students and youth ages 7-17, $18. Prices at the gate are a little higher. An economical $270 Flex Pass entitles you to 10 admissions that may be used in any

combination. Lawn seating prices: adult, $20 and youth, $14. Children 7 and under are admitted free to the lawn, and these tickets are sold only at the on-site ticket booth.

For purchases, call 732-4800 or visit www.olympicmusic-festival.org to view the programs and the musician roster for the entire season. Click on brownpapertickets.com if you wish to purchase online.

Festival of American Fiddle Tunesby Bev Rothenborg, Arts and Entertainment Editor

Thirty-seven years old and better than ever! Centrum’s Festival of American Fiddle Tunes has been one of the largest celebrations of traditional music west of the Mississippi. This year the Festival continues under the helm of Artistic Director Suzy Thompson as hundreds of players come to Fort Worden State Park for a full week of workshops, band labs, dances, concerts, open jams, parties and spontaneous gatherings.

These workshops lead into mainstage shows where thousands of audience members pack McCurdy Pavilion to enjoy the tapestry of North American fiddle styles. Thursday, July 4 at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., the music will pour forth from the World War 1-era balloon hangar converted into a concert hall on the grounds of Fort Worden State Park, Port Townsend. On Friday, July 5 at 7:00 p.m. there will be a Cajun and Creole dance on Littlefield Green on the grounds of the Park. The Fiddle Finale will be held at McCurdy Pavilion on Saturday, July 6 at 1:30 p.m. where you’ll hear not only American fiddle music, but Basque and Mexican music, too.

This is the most fun in the world! If you go on Thursday, July 4, you can enjoy listening to the workshop partici-pants who jam on the green before and between the concerts. The feeling of anticipation just starts to engulf me as I get close to Fort Worden, and by the time I walk onto the grounds, I’m in a high state of excitement. As I listen to the musicians both on the green and in McCurdy Pavilion, my feet just start tapping and dancing. The participants have so much talent and an obvious joie de vivre.

For further information or to buy tickets, call Centrum at 800-746-1982 or go to www.centrum.org.

Through the Lens of Rick McKenzieby Linda Karp, Contributing Writer

Come and view the outstanding collection of nature photographs by Rick McKenzie, designated July’s Artist of the Month by the Port Ludlow Artists’ League. Held in the lobby of Columbia Bank, the “Second Wednesday Reception” on July 10, gives friends, artists and art lovers a chance to have a glass of wine and meet McKenzie, as well as to view the new artworks in the adjacent Gallery.

An avid shutterbug since youth, McKenzie grew up in Massachusetts and, after service in the Marine Corps, attended college in California where he earned a degree in Forestry and studied photography. For twenty years he managed commercial landscaping and the view of natural surroundings led him to photograph natural architecture. “Since moving to Washington, I’ve had one adventure after the next. The love of the outdoors and photography in land-scape, nature and wildlife has evolved into more of a passion to share my experiences with others,” says McKenzie.

His work has been displayed at Northwinds Arts Center in Port Townsend, and currently his photographs are displayed in Port Hadlock at Sunshine Propane, Shear Attractions,

Hadlock Motel and Edward Jones, as well as in Port Ludlow at the Artists’ League Gallery, Active Life Physical Therapy and The Inn At Port Ludlow. In 2000, McKenzie started online PixtureYou.com, and uses this venue to share his love of the outdoors and nature’s exciting splendor with all who view his exquisite photography.

The Artists’ League extends an invitation to all to join them in honoring Rick McKenzie at the Second Wednesday Reception on July 10, from 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. in the lobby of Columbia Bank, Oak Bay Road. In addi-tion, the Art Gallery, adjacent to the bank, will be hosting new artwork by members of the League from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. that same evening. Regular Gallery hours are noon to 4:00 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.

Gail Larson was our June “Artist in Action”; look for Ginny Ford on July 19 and Gary Griswold on August 16, each from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Stop by the tent, watch them work on new masterpieces, and see a sampling of the artwork that is available at the Artists’ League Gallery.

Warm summer days are not only for making art but also for showing it off.

Artists’ League Holds Plein Air SessionThe forecast for the Port Ludlow Artists’ League’s July 17 meeting is warm with blue skies, intense creative activity, and a smattering of engaging conversations. After a brief business segment, the majority of the meeting will be devoted to a “Plein Air Picnic” at the Beach Club. Members, bring your favorite art mediums, your creative juices, a sack lunch, and prepare to thoroughly enjoy the summer’s day. If you are an aspiring artist but not yet a member, this would be a good time to meet this inspiring group of individuals and check out all the talent and methods they use to create a body of work worthy to be in any gallery worth its salt.

For the remainder of 2013, The League’s meetings will be held at the Beach Club starting with this month’s meeting on Wednesday, July 17 at 1:00 p.m. Guests are welcome to attend this monthly meeting and social time.

Art Museum Opens on BainbridgeWinslow has always been an interesting place. It is even more interesting with the addition of the new Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. Designed by Architect Mathew Coates, it is designed to create maximum impact on a compact scale.

Executive Director Gregg Robinson says the mission of the museum is to develop a collection that focuses on regional artists, especially lesser known artists. Opening exhibits include a selection from the permanent collection, a retrospective of Bainbridge Artist Barbara Helen Berger and a regional group exhibition entitled “First Light.”

The museum’s creation, spurred by art collector and patron Cynthia Sears, began to take shape in 2008 with the selection of the site. It is located near the ferry terminal (550 Winslow Way) in a 20,000 sq.ft. building resembling the prow of a glass ship. It has two floors with expansive gallery space. The hours are 10:00 a.m. – 6 p.m. daily. For information call 204-842-4451 or visit biartmuseum.org.

Weed Removal Day Scheduledby Doug Huber, Natural Resources/Trails Committee

The 12th Annual Noxious Weed Pull Day (our annual scotch broom pull) is scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Saturday, July 20. The early hours will take advantage of the morning coolness. Sign up at the Beach and Bay Clubs to participate. After the work session, we will meet at the Bay Club for lunch from 12:00 to 1:30 pm.

Last year we made considerable headway in removing scotch broom. Over 100 cubic yards of wet/dry scotch broom were taken to the dump. This year we have cut about 14 cubic yards of noxious weeds including scotch broom, Himalayan blackberry and canary reed grass. Our goal is to maintain the areas we have cleared in the past and remove scotch broom from the remaining areas of “downtown” Port Ludlow, effectively ridding the area of scotch broom.

We will also be working the south end of Mt. Constance Lane, and will return to those areas we cleaned out in previous years and remove the new growth.

Some of the Trails “fun day” personnel have been removing scotch broom along Teal Lake Road, Paradise Bay Road and Oak Bay Road. Other anonymous persons have been seen helping out, which we appreciate.

This year, we hope to have four teams working the area west of Breaker Lane towards the Interpretive Trail, across Paradise Bay Road along the Around the Bay Trail and the Picnic Point entrance, and on Mt. Constance Lane near the trailhead of the Olympic Terrace Loop. A team will also scour the Marina/Beach Club area for new growth.

To participate, you will need long pants, long sleeve shirts, loppers, gloves, and a determination to rid the Port Ludlow area of noxious weeds.

CEA began awarding scholarships to Chimacum High School seniors in 2005. Some criteria used in the selec-tion process are: academic achievement, strong career objectives, leadership, and community involvement. This year’s $2,000 scholarships will be distributed in $500 increments over the four years of these students’ college careers. A 3.0 GPA must be maintained in order to sustain the scholarship. CEA’s Book Sale, Holiday Home Tour, and Gold and Precious Metals Sale are the events which fund these awards.

This year’s awardees are strong, contributing members of their class and CEA was impressed by their sense of focus, intelligence, hard work and commitment to the community.

Eilena Sharpe will receive $1000 to pursue a degree in art from Cornish College of the Arts. “Art has always been a better way of communication for me,” she says.

Fire and Rescue Responds to House FireOn May 7, Peg Williams was baking cookies at her home on Condon Lane when she heard an odd crackling sound from the vicinity of the ceiling above the wood stove. She grabbed the cell phone, ran outside and saw smoke coming from the roof. She immediately called 9-1-1 and was told to take the children and get out of the house.

The Port Ludlow Fire Department arrived within seven minutes, just as the fire burst out of the roof. They imme-diately called for backup. Help came from Quilcene, Kitsap County, East Jefferson Fire and Rescue, and the Naval Magazine at Indian Island. The backup men and women worked as a team directed by Port Ludlow Fire Chief Brad Martin.

Peg watched with the neighbors from the street as the fire-fighters put on heavy suits and climbed ladders to the fire with heavy hoses. They put tanks on their backs to fight the fire from inside of the house, covering valuable items and removing the portable files, computers and furniture. After a four-hour battle, the fire was out. The house was damaged but still standing.

It was determined later that the fire started in the 12-inch crawl space over the wood stove. Over the years, heat weakened the wood and it was a time bomb waiting to go off. The fire had found the flue in back of the chimney and had gone down beneath the upper floor making it very difficult to combat.

Peg credits the excellent response by all Fire Departments, the precise coordination by Fire Chief Brad Martin and the efforts of dedicated, determined men and women of the fire crews with saving her home. She says, “People should know we have a wonderful Fire Department, especially in this time of budget cuts.”

Message from Chief MartinVoters will be asked to approve a levy to support the Fire District soon. Levies are rarely popular but this one is a necessity given the district’s financial issues. The situa-tion was explained at the open houses held at Station #31 on June 5 and at Station #33 on June 8. There were charts, graphs, and equipment on display, as well as handouts and plenty of personnel to answer the questions of those who attended. Port Ludlow Fire and Rescue (PLFR) will hold more informational meetings at different venues. I will speak to any group or organization about our posi-tion. Updated information is on our website, www.plfr.org. Handouts (paper or electronic) with the overview of our financial position are also available.

There has been some confusion over the layoff/rank reduction issue. We issued three layoff notices and three reductions in rank (lieutenant to firefighter) on June 1. The actual enforcement of the notices will not be until December 31. By that date, we will know the outcome of the levy and the status of our grant application. I urge you to educate yourselves on the issues. I have an open door policy and run this department with a transparent philos-ophy. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or one of my crews for information.

Finally, I have read commentary in the online version of the Port Townsend Leader. I assure you that the comments about PLFR’s financial management are inaccurate. I am available to discuss them. For clarification, please make an

appointment with me, so I can provide you the information you need to make your own decisions. Phone 360-437-2236 or email [email protected].

Net Pens in Port Ludlow and Mats Mats Bay? The Board of County Commissioners has reviewed public comments and taken formal action. By unanimous vote, it finalized revisions to the proposed fin-fish aquaculture provisions and directed staff to proceed with preparing a final adopting ordinance. Staff will continue to strive for moving the Shoreline Master Program (SMP) to final adoption as quickly as possible, given existing workloads and departmental constraints.

A recent newspaper article covered this important mile-stone, but inaccurately reported where the pens might be located. To clarify, the four geographic areas where net pens sites could be proposed are not all in the Port Townsend area. They include areas in the vicinity of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Glen Cove, Mats Mats Bay, and Port Ludlow.

Sheriff’s ReportFor the month of May, 2013, there were a total of 100 recorded Port Ludlow events known to the Sheriff’s Office. To help keep events in Port Ludlow in perspec-tive, there were 1178 events county wide during the same time period. SR 19, Tala Shore Drive, Oak Bay Road, and Olympus Boulevard define the parameters of Port Ludlow.

Port Ludlow Village Council Meeting Reportby Vicki Tallerico, Secretary

In the absence of President David Armitage, Vice President Tony Durham called the Thursday, June 6 General Meeting of the Port Ludlow Village Council (PLVC) to order at 3:00 pm. in the Bay Club. Other Council members present were Linda Haskin, Laury Hunt, Rose Hablutzel-Jackson, Tamra McDearmid, Larry Nobles, Lois Ruggles, Vicki Tallerico, and Terry Umbreit, to form a quorum. The meeting was recorded.

Invited Speakers and Community ReportsFestival by the Bay: Linda Karp, Craft Vendor Committee Chairperson, gave a history of the festival, pointing out its non-profit status. Proceeds go to the Chimacum School District and OlyCap, beneficiaries which each received $2500 last year. The festival will be held on July 26, 27, and 28. Entrance fee is $7 and pre-sale buttons will be sold around town, in Poulsbo and Silverdale. Information concerning this event can be found on their website www plfest.org and in the special section of this issue of the Voice.

Department of Community Development: David Wayne Johnson, Lead Planner and Liaison for Port Ludlow, reported on the sale of Olympic Sewer and Water Incorporated (OWSI). The only bid at this time is from the Public Utility District (PUD). The buyer must be a public entity; operators must be licensed; and to transfer the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, the conditions in the permit need to be followed.

Board of County Commissioners: County Commissioner John Austin reported that Department of Community Development employees are back to working a 40-hour week, and they are in the process of hiring a front desk person. There is still a volunteer position for a resident of the Port Ludlow area available on the Solid Waste Advisory Committee. The Police Department is collecting discarded medications from Monday through Thursday. Information on the increase in sales and excise tax is available on the county’s website under the Treasurer’s Department.

Community Welcome Committee: Tom Stone requested the PLVC to sponsor a Community Welcome Committee for new residents in Port Ludlow. The committee will

be responsible for giving information concerning the community, outlining the advantages of living in Port Ludlow and pointing out the diversity of resources and activities available in the community. A recommenda-tion was made to have officials from the Beach and Bay Clubs on the committee. A motion was made for Stone to establish a Welcome Committee under the auspices of the PLVC. Following a discussion, the motion was seconded and unanimously approved.

Summer Food Program: Barbara Adams talked about a program that provides food for the children in the Chimacum School District. She said that 85 percent of the children in grades K-2 experience food insecurity and need to participate in food programs in the local schools. They also need food on weekends and during the summer months. Last summer four churches helped in providing food. The YMCA Explorer Program helps at the Chimacum Creek Primary School, Port Townsend Mountain View Commons and in Quilcene with the help of a USDA grant. In the “Feed Your Brain” program, children ages 1 to 18 will participate in an educational/fun activity and receive snack and lunch. No child will be turned down if they show up. There is a need for volunteers to work at the activity sites, prepare the meals, and donate to fund the program. Anyone wanting to assist in this project can contact Barbara Adams at [email protected]. There also will be flyers at the Friday Market.

Council Actions and ReportsSecretary’s Report: The minutes from the PLVC General Meeting for May 2 were approved, seconded and passed unanimously.

Treasurer’s Report: The Treasurer’s report showed the total cash held in the bank was $35,761. The General Operating Funds available were $28,580 and the General


Operating Account has $17,636. The report was approved, seconded and passed unanimously.

Metropolitan Park District (MPD): Laury Hunt reported on the status of the MPD and its possible effects on the Master Plan Resort (MPR). Attorney Richard B. Shattuck was contacted for a legal opinion regarding certain aspects of the proposal. The MPD steering committee may include Port Ludlow in the proposal. The question involves whether and how Port Ludlow can be excluded from participation. Hunt said that legal opinions offered by Mr. Shattuck indicate that a MPR is a “self-contained and fully integrated planned unit development,” but that the statutory scheme is confusing.

The MPR includes indoor and outdoor recreational facili-ties, conference facilities as well as commercial, profes-sional activities and services that support and are inte-grated with the resort. These facilities should be primarily designed to serve the resort visitors, either day visitors or overnight visitors, but may also provide some limited goods and services for the surrounding permanent resi-dential population.

One option for Port Ludlow is to establish an MPR Park and Recreation District. Such districts are statutorily authorized to promote leisure time and activities, and associated recreational facilities for residents within defined geographic areas. Like an MPD, a Park and Recreation District has taxing authority. A petition to form such a district is circulating.

Following discussion, a motion was made for the PLVC to confer with Attorney Shattuck to draft a letter to the County Commissioners, the MPD, and the Steering Committee for the MPR opting out of the MPD and outlining legal matters set forth in his letter dated June 6, 2013. The letter is to be approved by the PLVC before it is sent. The motion passed, 8 in favor, 1 opposed, and 1 abstaining.

Communication Committee: Tamra McDearmid made a motion that the PLVC approve the use of a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License for the archives. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

Elections: Tony Durham announced that there is a need for two North Bay and two South Bay candidates for the upcoming election. Interested parties should contact him.

Policies and Procedures: Tamra McDearmid requested a motion to correct several issues under Policies and Procedures. The discussion was tabled until the work-shop meeting.

Disaster Preparedness Committee: Pat Lohrey announced that David Aho is the new Director of the Disaster Preparedness Committee. She said the committee is charged with educating residents about disaster preparedness. In event of a disaster, much of the respon-sibility would fall on the Captains in North Bay (52) and South Bay (52). The committee also facilitates a Community Emergency Rescue Training (CERT) program with the fire department and conducts quarterly radio drills. The budgetary problems of the fire department may have an impact on future CERT training. The PLVC supports the committee and approved $1,000 for 2013 that will go to purchase two-way radios and provide training.

Insurance Committee: Ken Snider, the liaison between the PLVC and the insurance agent, reported that the PLVC has active Directors and Officers and general liability insurance policies, both for $2 million. The general liability policy is in effect to June of 2014. Snider was asked about and will check on the ratings of the carriers.

Market by the Marina: Vicki Tallerico reported that opening day saw approximately 200 shoppers passing through the market; the artisan vendors were very happy with the turnout of shoppers and their sales.

There were several issues on the opening day including parking and signage. These issues are being addressed. The quest for more farmers, food vendors and musi-cians is ongoing. Availability of electrical power is being investigated.

We were pleased to see Cloud 9 Pastries return and sell out of its baked goods early in the day. Egg and I Fuchsias has added plant starters and fresh cut flowers to its selection. Farmers who will be added to the market are: Sunfield Farm (fresh produce), Alpenfire Hard Cider, and Finnriver Farm and Cidery. Kol Simcha Farm will be returning with their lamb, beef, eggs, and some early spring produce. The Inn At Port Ludlow’s Chef Dan has promised a Bar-B-Que and a Salmon bake in the near future.

Utilities: Randy Shelley said that the Utilities Committee monitors rates and service of our utilities and Olympic Water and Sewage Inc. (OWSI). Regarding the future sale of OWSI, there is only one oral offer ($3 million from the PUD). The offer does not include $4.8 million that OWSI has decided to retain for the 400 lots yet to be sold. The other options include a private for-profit owner and a water and sewer district formed by residents. Advantages of the latter are local control and non-profit status. Other factors are that connection fees are limited by statute and that skilled licensed personnel are required to run the facility. Any petition for establishing an independent water and sewer district must be completed by July 1, 2013.

Port Ludlow Village Council Website Returnsby Tamra McDearmid, PLVC Communications Committee

Trailsby Larry Scott, Trails/Natural Resources Chair

Critters on the trails can come in all sizes from the wild (small moles and voles) to the ones we humans bring along both large and small. With the recent warm weather, Trails is lately receiving comments about both horses and dogs being on the newest and oldest of our trail system: Talbot, Talbot/Rainier Connection, and lower Rainier. Please note that as yet we do not have a trail that is desig-nated as appropriate for horse and rider. As enjoyable as riding can be, just the weight of the horses imprints divots in our soft under-soil, so please do not ride on the current community trails. In addition, both horse and hiker could be startled in some of the narrower pathways.

Now, let’s discuss our “best friends”—the family mutts. Dogs on a trail do not seem to solicit comments from hikers, it’s what they leave as evidence of their passing through, or rather what has passed through them. All we dog owners know that timing can be a big factor in when the family pooch decides to find relief, but be the good neighbor and get it off the walking path. If you have the baggie, take it home; don’t throw the bag into the side brush as a potential hanging eyesore. If your pal has more movements than you have bags, use a stick, use some bark, use your toe, but do the right thing and get it off the trail so others walking, hiking, running do not have to do the dance.

We will continue to update you about our latest upcoming trail, Teal Lake Loop. Note that when finished, it will be a loop “around” Teal Lake, not “to” Teal Lake, with the trailhead coming off the Olympic Terrace Trail at the end of Mt. Constance.

Let’s keep improving our trails. As always, if you are interested in helping to improve our community a couple of hours at a time, let me know and I’ll add your email to our “Fun Day” announcement group. Contact me at 437-9299 or [email protected].

LMC May Board Meeting Highlightsby Vaughn Bradshaw, LMC Secretary

The monthly business meeting of the Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC) Board of Trustees was held May 16 at the Beach Club. The following are high-lights of that meeting:

Now that the walkway on the north end of the Beach Club has been paved, the Beach Club drainage project is complete.

Several LMC members have fallen on the sidewalk leading to the Beach Club due to the uneven surface caused by differential settling of the concrete pads. After investigating the possibility of grinding down the high edges and finding it not to be feasible, bids are being obtained to replace the concrete pads.

The following committee appointments were approved by the Board:

Architectural Control Committee: Chair Carol Ann Napheys; Trustee Representatives Vaughn Bradshaw and Sally Orsborn; Member Noble Nilsen; Alternate Members Charlie Jackson and Gary Martin.

Communications Committee: Chair Sue Milner; Trustee Representatives Glee Hubbard and Mari Stuart; Members Alisha Gruszewski, Ron Racki, Claudia Robbins, and Adele Govert; Alternate Member Diane Campo.

Covenants & Regulations Committee: Chair Bill Wilson; Trustee Representatives Jim Milner and Sally Orsborn; Members Carol Shamhart and Rosemary Sherman; Alternate Members Mike Larkin and Hana Coate.

Elections Service Committee: Chair Brian Belmont; Trustee Representatives Vaughn Bradshaw and Mari Stuart; list of members not yet submitted.

Finance Committee: Chair Ned Luce; Trustee Representatives Jim Milner and Ron Gregory; Members Richard Babaian, Bob Bima, Mike Eidlin, John Erickson and Pat McNamara (non-voting).

Greenbelt Committee: Co-Chairs Jack Riggen and Ron Garton; Trustee Representatives Teddy Clark and Jerry Purdy; Members Victor Gecas, Ramsay Smith, Kim Wright and Adele Govert.

Operations Committee: Interim Chair Jim Goode; Trustee Representatives Jerry Purdy and Ron Gregory; list of members not yet submitted.

An Ad-hoc Kitchen Committee was established. Jeanne Joseph was approved as Chair, and Rose Hablutzel-Jackson and Mari Stuart were approved as Trustee Representatives.

The next regular business meeting of the LMC Board of Trustees took place on June 20. The next meeting is Thursday July 18 at 1:00 p.m.

President’s Perspectivesby Rose Hablutzel-Jackson LMC President

The Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC) is in the process of addressing its annual goals. Special consider-ation is being given to those values that help contribute to the spirit of community. Newly appointed committee members and elected trustees are bringing their perspec-tives and enthusiasm to the table. As changes occur and are felt in the community, neighbors are voicing opinions on ways which best serve their interests and needs.



Perspectives continued from previous page

The Board is exploring ways to facilitate community input. The underlying message is to encourage a sense of possibilities within the framework of each neighborhood; to make our community stronger in commitment to one another, neighbor to neighbor. I pose this question to the neighborhood community: “What is the best way to grow and go forward to make this community a progressive and responsive environment in which we all have a share?”

The LMC does have its challenges in getting neighbors to participate on its committees and on the Board. I want to emphasize that the LMC has a strong sense of commitment to provide its members with opportunities to actively participate in important community issues.

We’re waiting. Just call the Beach Club and ask for Brian Belmont or e-mail us at [email protected] to provide your suggestions.

Update from the Managerby Brian Belmont, General Manager

At long last the repairs to the Beach Club electrical system are nearing completion. Bird Electric Corp., hired by Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC) as our electrical contractor, has been making steady progress in repairing or replacing a good portion of the Beach Club’s electrical distribution system.

Bird Electric was asked to replace the 45-year-old main service panels and several sub panels throughout the building that were showing signs of significant corrosion or had other deficiencies. Before the electricians finish the project, every outlet will be tested, traced and labeled for safety. All the new panels will be properly labeled and each circuit will have a descriptive label.

This all sounds like pretty basic stuff, but after 45 years there had been lots of changes to equipment and circuits which weren’t documented correctly. When electrical repairs were needed, time had been wasted tracing circuits.

Although the Beach Club’s proximity to saltwater hasn’t helped, we have felt the majority of our corrosion prob-lems were caused by moisture and chemicals from the two swimming pools. In an effort to mitigate this in the future, some of the electrical equipment is being relocated to less corrosive environments and several new exhaust fans are being installed in areas of high humidity and in locations where pool chemicals are being stored.

On June 5, 6, and 7, the Beach Club was closed so electri-cians could disconnect from the old service panels and connect to the new panels. The switch-over to the new equipment went smoothly with only a few minor glitches.

During the shutdown, LMC staff made good use of their time getting some interior painting done that would have been difficult to accomplish during our normal operating hours.

The electrical work should be completed by the end of June, which will wrap up the second of our two big 2013 projects. The first is the installation of a new French drain and downspout collector line on the north side and a portion of the west side of the Beach Club building.

I appreciate everyone’s patience throughout these two projects and thank you for your cooperation and support. If you have questions or comments about this article or the ongoing work at the Beach Club, I can be reached at 360-437-9201 or [email protected].

North Bay Summer Beach ConcertsThe North Bay Lot Owners Association (NBLOA) will again be sponsoring two Summer Beach Concerts on Thursdays, July 25 and August 8 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Beach Club lawn.

There will be live music and gourmet hot dogs with chips and a soft drink for $5 per person. Bring your beach blanket, chairs and any other food and beverage you prefer. These events are terrific opportunities to not only have a great time, but connect with your neighbors and enjoy the beauty of our Beach Club view.

SBCA Meeting Highlightsby Sue Oemichen, President, Board of Directors

The June South Bay Community Association (SBCA) Board meeting was held on Friday, June 7, 9:30 a.m. at the Bay Club. This article discusses the highlights of the meeting. For details please see the minutes posted on our website, plsbca.org, or call a Board member. All SBCA Board of Director meetings are open to our members. Attendance and participation are appreciated.

Operations Report: General Manager Jeremy Bubnick gave the operations report. Several maintenance issues have been completed: gutters have been repaired; ventilation issues in locker rooms have been addressed; shower in the women’s locker room and faucets in the women’s washroom will be replaced; the new networking and Wi-Fi is almost complete; the door in the kitchen will be replaced; the irrigation control box is being relocated; quotes are being obtained to replace the telephone system; and repair or replacement of the ice machine is being addressed.

Jeremy also reported on several activities which are in the planning stages. A new part-time staff member, Lynn Leon, has been hired. Lynn will fill in for Marie on Sunday and Monday and work at the front desk as needed. Jeremy has obtained his Certified Manager of Community Association designation. Congratulations!

Financial Report: Ken Thomas gave the financial report for April through June 7, 2013. Balances in operating accounts (Columbia Bank Money Market and Columbia Bank checking account) as of May 31 were $99,380.19. Balances in Reserve accounts (Columbia Bank CD, Kitsap Bank CD, Kitsap Bank Money Market and Renovation Account) as of May 31 were $306,173.09.

Sue Oemichen read the letter from CPA Katie Glessing outlining needed adjustments to SBCA books to bring

them in order. Adjustments will be made and updated financials should be ready for the Friday, July 5 meeting.

Architectural Review Committee: Reviewed and issued permits for five tree and shrub maintenance projects in LPV-1, LPV-3 and Bayview Villages; condi-tionally approved a tree trimming request from Teal Lake Village for maintenance work in Bayview Village; reviewed and modified a view maintenance applica-tion in Timberton Village. This application was subse-quently approved at a meeting held on May 23. The ARC received an appeal of the approval decision for this application and is working on that now. ARC reviewed and approved a deck surface replacement and hot tub installation project in Bayview Village.

ARC reviewed four Village ARC projects, approved and permitted at the village level, for replacement of a garage door, removal of a privacy fence, roof replacement and painting a house. The next meeting of ARC is Friday, June 21, 9:30 a.m. at the Bay Club.

Facilities Committee: The Facilities Committee is working on several areas. They include updates to the information in the Voice; removal of two Katsura trees in front of the Bay Club; addressing drainage issues; dry rot inspection to determine extent of damage; and preparing a spec sheet to obtain bids for repair and replacement of gym equipment. Additional subjects included land-scaping, landscaping contract, tennis court repair, reserve study vendor and maintenance schedules. The next Facilities Committee is Wednesday, July 3, 9:30 a.m. at the Bay Club.

The following actions occurred following requests by the Facilities Committee. A motion was made and approved to replace the gym equipment as outlined in the facilities report, not to exceed $12,500; the General Manager was directed to review the status of access to and use of the SBCA tennis courts and to make recommendations to the

From the General Managerby Jeremy Bubnick

My goal is to keep you all informed of the progress that we are making through this article in the Voice and through emails. In an effort to increase communication with our members, I send out periodic emails to keep you informed. I try to limit the number to two to four a month, so that I am not contributing to the clogging of your inbox. If you have not received an email from me in the past month or so and would like to receive these messages, please contact the Bay Club to make sure we have your current email address.

As we approach the summer season, the Bay Club is seeing increased activity and we are happy to welcome you all! We are working hard to make improvements to the opera-tions and facility. Over the past month, we have improved our computer network including the Wi-Fi connection within the club. It has been “a process” and I want to thank all of you for your patience as we worked to get a stable system installed. We are also working on updating the Fitness Room. Over the next couple of months, we will be replacing some of our outdated/non functioning cardio equipment and applying a fresh coat of paint. If you haven’t taken advantage of the Fitness Room in the past, I encourage you to come and check it out. I will send out a notice once we have made the improvements.

In closing, we are all working diligently to provide the best service for our members. It has been a pleasure serving as your GM for the past few months and I have enjoyed having the opportunity to meet many of you. I encourage you to join us at the Bay Club for an activity, class, special event, swim, workout, refreshments or just conversation.

We are here for our members and welcome you all to join us! And if I haven’t had the opportunity to meet you, please poke your head in and introduce yourself. As the sign on my office door reads “My door may be closed, but it is ALWAYS open.”


Mark Your Calendarsby Sue Oemichen, SBCA Board of Directors

The South Bay Community Association Annual Member Meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 17 at 3:00 p.m. at the Bay Club. Packets of information were mailed to members in June with the notice of the meeting, meeting agenda, information on the proposed budgets, Vision, Mission, and Value Statements, and short bios of our candidates for the Board of Directors.

In addition to the Operating Budget, a new Reserve Fund Budget is proposed. Expenditures from the Reserve Account will be reported at the monthly Board of Directors meeting with this budget. The Board of Directors has approved an audit of our financials for the year ending June 30, 2013.

There are four open positions for next year’s Board of Directors. Our four qualified candidates are Jerry Conover, Billie Land, Steve Shanklin, and Tom Stone. Please plan on attending this important community meeting. We hope to see you all there.

An Invitation from Free Spirits to all SBCA MembersWelcome to Free Spirits. If you are a member in good standing of SBCA, you are now also a member of Free Spirits. At the annual meeting of Free Spirits on June 4, the membership voted to eliminate the membership requirement for our organization and to include anyone who belongs to SBCA. This approach is new and will be evaluated carefully as we move ahead.

The Board will have a different structure, hopefully with an increase in members to plan and implement events. We have details to work out and there will be more infor-mation in the coming months; however, we do want to remind you these events happen because we have great volunteers, and that is something we will continue to rely on to provide these activities.

With your help, we will continue to provide four events a year. We will determine cost to members by the type of event, with the promise that we will strive to maintain the quality and diversity you have come to expect at a reasonable price. We would like to increase the variety of our events, and encourage those in the community with suggestions or ideas to get involved. We welcome your input - and your participation.

A reminder: July Fourth is coming. You are now members, so check with the Bay Club for available spots and join us, for as our mission says, Good Friends, Good Food, and Good Fun. Thank you.

South Bay Members’ SocialFriday, July 12 will be our last social before the annual election of SBCA Board members on Wednesday, July 17 at 3:00 p.m. Plan to attend and meet the nominees for the 2013/2014 Board of Directors who may be present.

The hosted bar will be open from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. and appetizers will be provided by you, the attendees. Hope for good weather so we may gather out of doors with our fellow members. See you there! s

Port Ludlow Associates

Developer Newsby Diana Smeland, Port Ludlow Associates, President

First off, “Thank You” to those of you who have called me with questions and comments regarding topics discussed in this article. I have enjoyed speaking with each of you, and I have appreciated the opportunity to discuss some of PLA’s endeavors and clarify some of what we are doing within the community.

One great question that came up in a recent conversation was regarding restaurant options available here in Port Ludlow. Currently, there are four restaurants located in Port Ludlow: The Fireside Restaurant at the Port Ludlow Inn, Niblicks Café inside the Golf Club, Cucina’s Pizza in the Village Center, and the Snug Harbor Café on the hill above. PLA owns both The Fireside Restaurant and Niblicks Café, which are open seven days a week and are open to the public as well as to guests visiting the Resort. The Fireside offers a farm-to-table menu with numerous ingredients from local farmers, artisans and fishermen, while Niblicks Café provides a more casual atmosphere and traditional café favorites along with a selection of healthy salads and wraps.

If it has been a while since you visited The Fireside, stop by this summer and enjoy live music on most Wednesday nights or just enjoy the view from the veranda. Also, be sure to ask about the wine selection, as The Fireside recently won an Award of Distinction from the Washington State Wine Commission for 2013. Additionally, The Fireside is currently featuring a Farm Dinner Series. This encompasses a series of four, farm-specific, six-course tasting menus which are each complemented by company of the farmer that grew the food on your plate. Also, as many of you may already know, The Fireside is now hosting a monthly Afternoon Tea on the third Thursday of each month from 2:00 to

4: 00 p.m. They will also be happy to prepare a full tea service any day of the week for parties of eight or more by advance reservation.

Another topic that continues to come up is in reference to the work on the exterior of The Inn in recent weeks. The new color is called Buttered Popcorn. This pale yellow color is actually the original color of the Inn which was built about 19 years ago. Gradually, over time, the color faded from a light yellow to the light pink we all came to associate with it; however when it came time to paint, we felt that it was only fitting to bring back the original yellow color it was intended to be. In preparation for painting, there was a great deal of work to do. Every board of siding was inspected and washed, and each nook and cranny of the Inn’s exterior was “spiffed up” before painting ever began. It has been so much fun to see the color emerge as the painters work their way around the building!

I would love to hear from you with questions that can be answered in this column.

All of us with Port Ludlow Associates continue to look forward to meeting with groups and residents to share ideas or deal with any expressed concerns about Port Ludlow’s future. If you have questions, my email is [email protected] or direct line is 437-8342.

Sports & Games Port Ludlow One-Design Sailingby Dan Darrow, Guest Writer

There are two primary methods of competition in sailboat racing: One-design and handicap. One-design refers to a class that consists of just one model or design of sailboat. In one-design racing, the first boat to finish wins the race. This is contrasted with handicap racing, where time is added or subtracted from the finishing times based on design factors and mathematical formulas to determine the winner.

One-design sailing offers relative simplicity and a level playing field. Of course, there are still things like boat upkeep that can make a difference, but overall it is the crew teamwork, strategy and tactics that determine the outcome. We are fortunate in Port Ludlow to have two one-design classes that sail regularly.

The Etchells (www.Etchells.org) is a 30-foot open cockpit boat that is usually sailed with a crew of three. There are over fifty Etchells fleets worldwide. This year the world championship is in Italy. The Port Ludlow Fleet #26 normally competes on Thursday afternoons from April through October or other times when the weather cooper-ates. You can watch the action from the Totem Pole or come down to the marina and talk with the sailors. At present we have eight boats in the harbor with five or six sailing regularly.

The newest fleet is the T37, a radio-controlled boat that is 37-inches long. These are wooden boats built from kits available from Tippecanoe Boats. For information, go to www.modelsailboat.com. Building the boat is part of the fun and each boat has a unique personality reflecting the builder’s preference for paint styles and colors.

At present there are over 1,900 boats worldwide with over twenty of these boats registered in East Jefferson County. The fleet sails throughout the year with scheduled race days at both “Lake Ludlow” (the pond by the marina) and Port Hadlock. Normally, ten or more boats participate on a good day. This type of sailing uses the same tactics and strategy that is present on full-size boats, but without the expense and complications.

For further information on either fleet, contact Dan Darrrow at 437-9208.

Women’s Golf Association (WGA) Announces July GamesBy Peggy Selby, Scribe

We may start the golf season slowly, but once we kick in, we really kick in. The Captain’s Cup is underway, compliments of the Kelly/Schoen organizers, and the Mr. and Mrs. Tournament is over. We have participated in a Couple’s Sunday and a Play Day Away. If time flies when you are having fun, I must be having the time of my life because we are almost half way through our season and I feel like I have just started this year.

The fast-paced schedule continues. Check your July calen-dars. The second annual Member/Member is July 9 and 10. Also upcoming we have our second Play Day Away, another Sunday Couples’ Golf, MGA/WGA exchange and Port Ludlow Festival Day Tournament, in addition to our regular Tuesday Play. It is an exhausting schedule.

Here are some reminders of green courtesy:

• The first one to putt out should replace the flag once everyone else has putted out.

• Avoid standing in someone else’s line.• Ask first before you mark someone else’s ball.• Repair ball marks – even if you didn’t make one.

Making Shape Out of ChaosAre you filled with ideas but can’t seem to braid them into form? This three-day nonfiction workshop led by Christine Hemp will lift you to a new skill level, help you find structure and embolden your command of language. You will leave with at least one finished piece. Both novice and experienced writers are welcome.

“Attending Christine’s workshop is like taking a ride in the Florida Everglades on a hovercraft—moss flying past, alligators surfacing and then receding; sounds from unseen birds—a world I’d be afraid to visit with anyone but Christine–a truly savvy guide”, says a University of Iowa Summer Writing Festival participant.

Christine Hemp has aired her poems and essays on National Public Radio’s Morning Edition. Her essay about sending a poem of hers into space on a NASA rocket won her a First Place Northwest Society of Professional Journalism Award. Hemp’s work has appeared in such publications as the Iowa Review, Harvard Magazine, Boston Review, Christian Science Monitor and in anthologies by Macmillan, Simon and Schuster, and Orchard Press.

The workshop will take place at North Beach, Port Townsend Friday, July 26 - Sunday, July 28, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The cost is $500 ($100 non-refundable deposit due by July 1). Payment can be made by check, PayPal or Visa. To register go to www.christinehemp.com/chaos.html.

Has Jefferson Healthcare Hospital Struck it Rich?Hospital Commissioner Tony DeLeo is investigating a bequest of mineral rights in North Dakota. These mineral rights were willed to Jefferson Healthcare, Grace Lutheran Church in Port Townsend, a nursing home and another church in North Dakota by Lucille Eggert, who died in 2000.

Eggert had sold the land years ago, but kept the mineral rights. The area is rich in oil and is close to transportation and a planned refinery.

Hospital officials started looking seriously at the dona-tion after the current owner attempted to buy the rights in 2008. Unsurprisingly, the Board has formally blessed DeLeo’s investigations. Besides the mineral rights, Eggert willed the hospital $75,000. A scholarship at Port Townsend High School is named in her honor.

Summer Y continued from previous page

Summer Y Explorers: Food, Literacy, Adventure and Funby Barbara Adams, Guest Writer

Do you remember going to the Y when you were young? Was it for swim lessons or basketball or crafts? The Y is still alive and well in Port Townsend at Mountain View Commons. It’s an association of men, women and children joined together by a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility. Erica Delma is Program Executive Director for Jefferson County YMCA, and there is a new program underway right now in Jefferson County.

Summer Y Explorers is a Food, Literacy and Reading Adventure Program that started on June 17 in Port Hadlock at Chimacum Creek Primary School and will end on August 23. It operates Monday through Friday with no program on July 4 and a Summer Break July 22-26. Designed for children 5 - 12 years of age, it encourages literacy incorporating art, music, and expression through a theme of exploration and adventure. Two meals, snack and lunch, bracket the literacy activities to ensure participants have the nutrition adequate to support learning. Children must pre-register with the Y by calling 385-5811.

July 15: Speaker Mike Glenn, CEO, and Dr. Joe Mattern, Chief Medical Officer at Jefferson Health Care, will report on Jefferson Healthcare’s delivery of quality healthcare services and the continuous improvements toward patient safety, satisfaction and continuity of care for our community. Sponsored by Ajax Café.

July 22: Speaker Douwe Rienstra, MD, will talk about how you can assist your employees with their health needs even if you don’t provide health insurance. Sponsored by The Port Townsend Leader.
