For the past decade, the Port Ludlow Golf Course
has held a Rally for the Cure to support the Susan
G. Komen Breast Cancer charity. The charity
has noble goals; those of providing screening for
women, funding research, and eliminating a major
threat to women’s health, breast cancer. The Port
Ludlow lady golfers and guests dressed in pink, had
a wonderful time competing in a round of golf and
hosted a magnificent lunch with raffles and games.
The effort raised thousands of dollars for the Susan
G. Komen organization.
Should the event take place this year? Last month Susan G. Komen for
the Cure decided to cut breast-screening grants to Planned Parenthood,
citing a newly adopted criteria barring grants to organizations under
investigation. The ban affected Planned Parenthood because of an inquiry
by anti-abortion backed Representative Cliff Stearns of Florida. It had been
reported Vice-President Karen Handel instigated the policy. She is an antiabortion activist and frequent opponent of Planned Parenthood.
The backlash was violent and swift. Although Komen denied allegations
the move was prompted by anti-abortion activists, its affiliates in the
Pacific Northwest and elsewhere were up in arms. The Puget Sound
Komen affiliate called the policy “misguided.” Senators Maria Cantwell
and Patty Murray along with 25 other Democratic senators asked Komen
to reconsider. Komen eventually did rescind the policy but the trust of
their donors has been damaged.
The golf associations should reconsider their support of the Komen foundation. Although the stated goals are laudable, Komen policies may not
contribute to those goals. Planned Parenthood centers performed more
than 4 million breast exams over the past five years. Nearly 170,000 were
the result of Komen grants. Although Planned Parenthood has launched a
Breast Health Emergency Fund to offset losses, losing the funds Komen
provided would present a difficult situation. Komen knew that.
Other organizations also support women’s health; the option of rallying to
provide funding for those organizations should be explored. This writer
would like to see a successful rally again this year but one supporting
another charitable organization with a broader, less politically driven
agenda.

When the Tulips Bloom,
It Must Be Spring
by Barbara Wagner-Jauregg, Contributing Writer
One look at this month’s Voice cover and you’ll be
reminded—everything soon is coming up tulips. Whether
you’re a first time or repeat visitor to the beautiful area
called Skagit Valley, do visit—you are in for a treat. Not
only is the region blessed with mountains, farmland and
the sea—the real stars are millions of tulips—yours to see
at two display gardens as well as growing in hundreds of
acres of fields.
The 29th annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival runs
between Sunday, April 1 and Monday, April 30. Every
spring hundreds of thousands of people, by car, tour
bus and boat, flock to the region to enjoy the Valley’s
celebration of spring as acres of tulips burst into bloom.
The Tulip Festival was founded in 1984 by the Mount
Vernon Chamber of Commerce Chamber, whose directors
saw that people were coming by the thousands to view
the tulips and decided to create a festival with events and
festivities to enhance the visitors’ trip. Ten years later the
Tulip Festival broke off and became an entity of its own,
growing from 3 days originally to 30 in the last few years,
thus ensuring the huge fields of tulips would actually
bloom sometime during the event.
Over one million bulbs in all colors of the rainbow have
been planted at the two display gardens, RoozenGaarde
and Tulip Town. In addition fields of tulips bloom for
about two weeks sometime between March 25 and April
18. Of course only Mother Nature has a clue of the date.
But no matter, Tulip Town and RoozenGaarde will have
flowers to see throughout April because they plant many
different varieties with differing bloom cycles.
RoozenGaarde is a division of Washington Bulb Co., the
largest flower bulb grower in the U.S. with over 1,000
acres of tulip, daffodil and iris fields. The three-acre
display garden is planted with over a quarter-million
bulbs and features an authentic Dutch windmill. It has
formal plantings, snacks to eat and a gift shop. During
the Festival, open hours are from 9:00 a.m. until 7:00
p.m. Adults pay an admission fee of $5 and reservations
are requested, call 360-424-8531. To obtain the most up
to date and reliable bloom information, go to the Bloom
Map at www.tulips.com.
Tulip Town has an indoor display garden and mural, art
gallery, gift shop, potted tulips, garden plants, espresso
and snacks. With 60 varieties of tulips in their fields,
visitors can either walk through the acres of blooms or
take a relaxing ride through the fields in one of its three
trolleys. A new feature is the Veteran’s Memorial Garden,
featuring the “Veteran’s Valor” tulip. Festival hours are
9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. There is an admission fee of $5
for adults. Tour buses should call ahead for reservations,
360-424-8152.
Skagit River Valley is roughly a 15-mile triangle bordered
by Highway 20, the Skagit River and the Swinomish
Channel. Tulip fields are located between La Conner and
Mount Vernon. The area can be accessed via Highway
20 and the Port Townsend-Coupeville (Whidbey Island)
Ferry or via Interstate 5 and the Kingston-Edmonds Ferry;
this day trip is well worth the effort to get there. The least
crowded times to visit are weekdays, early morning or
late afternoon on weekends. There is a myriad of events
scheduled throughout the month, including art shows,
family runs, garden and gift show, historic home tour, a
parade, salmon barbecue, street fair and wine festival. Go
to www.TulipFestival.org for a complete schedule.
If you want to extend the excursion into a couple days,
overnight accommodations can be found in Anacortes,
Burlington, La Conner or Mount Vernon and there are
many restaurant choices in these cities at a variety of
price points.
This month’s Voice cover features “Tulips in La Conner,”
taken by Helen Weismeyer, who began taking travel
photos when she was 19 years old on a university-led
European tour and hasn’t stopped yet. According to
Weismeyer, once she sees a photo she particularly admires
in a magazine, etc., she then has to go to the location. An
example is when she saw Galen Rowell’s famous photo of
the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet. She had to duplicate it.
“Well,” she says, “I got the Palace, but no rainbow.”
Weismeyer was born, raised and worked in Southern
California. Most of her career she was employed at La
Sierra University in Riverside, teaching in the Health
and Exercise Science Department. She and Mary Small,
friends since high school, moved to Port Ludlow in 2004,
right after their second year of visiting and watching the
Tour de France. Weismeyer thinks this is a nice area for
cycling and loves to do it.

one of their cat “Tiger” in the Peninsula Daily News; two

Sunshine and Gardens
in Kaua’i, Hawai’i
by Eline Lybarger, Contributing Writer
View to the valley at Allerton Garden.
Courtesy photo
Soft perfumed air, gentle breezes, sunshine and beautiful
beaches—what plant wouldn’t want to grow here? Kaua’i,
the Garden Island, is unlike the other Hawaiian Islands.
Formed from a large central volcano, 5,148-foot high
Mount Waialeale, its north side is the wettest place on
earth. A road runs around the perimeter of the island near
the beach. The mountain makes the interior and northeast
Na Pali Coast inaccessible except by hiking for days in
rugged country or going by boat or plane along the coast.
We stayed on the south end of the island in Poipu or “hole
in the clouds.” The area is lush and green with less rain
and roads going east and west around the island. Road
widening around the perimeter of the island caused traffic
chaos especially during the morning and evening.
Food in restaurants and grocery stores was expensive;
alcohol was less expensive than in Washington. We drove
through neighborhoods to pick up fruits and flowers from
roadside stands frequently “manned” by children. The
weekend Farmer’s Markets offer a variety of fresh fruits,
vegetables and baked goods. Costco is available.
Page 4
Most of the gardens have varied hours, are not open
consistently, or require a reservation so it is best to call for
the hours, days open and directions. We found two overthe-top gardens. Our two favorites were Na ’Āina Kai
Botanical Garden and Allerton Garden. Na ’Āina Kai has
30 acres with 130 beautifully displayed statues—mostly
bronze. The owner carefully chose the site for each statue
before purchasing it. There is a romantic garden, whimsical garden and a children’s garden with a 20-foot tall
green fountain at the entrance. The rest of the property is
planted in different species of teak and mahogany hardwoods, a possible source of agricultural income. A special
treat was the baby Albatross; about 18 inches tall, covered
in fluffy white feathers and without fear. Even the parents
did not move out of our path when we walked towards
them. Reservations for this garden are a must; all tours are
guided and you are moved between gardens in an open
cart. There is a great gift shop.
The Allerton Garden contained the botanical collection
from a wealthy family. Allerton retired to Kaua’i at age
65. The garden is beside a river on the rugged Na Pali
Coast. It takes about 30 minutes by bus to get down a
narrow, steep gravel road with vegetation scraping one
side and no guardrail on the other side. The original
house and sugarcane factory are still there, although it has
become a plant research laboratory for commercial and
medical properties. There are formal areas with gravityfed fountains and statues, other areas appear to be wild
vegetation but are part of the collection. Species include a
Tamarind tree with fruit used in chutney and a plant that
is used to make Chanel No. 5. The guide was wonderfully
informative, but a lot of walking is required. There is also
a guesthouse where Jackie Kennedy stayed with her children for a month after John F. Kennedy’s death; the media
never found her, a point of pride for the staff.
Limahuli Garden and Preserve was disappointing. This
National Tropical Botanical Garden is described as a
rare gem, located on the far north shore past Princeville
where it always rains and the road deteriorates rapidly. At
one point water was running across the road with a sign
saying, “Water can be dangerous if too deep.” A guided
tour of this ancient terraced Taro farm cost $30, but a
guide wouldn’t leave the warm, dry information center for
less than 10 people. We bought a self-guided tour book
for $15 that devoted several pages to each stone and plant,
but it was not practical to read while scaling the steep
slope in a downpour.
There is a lovely orchid garden at The Plantation in
Poipu, the site of an old plantation where the original
house has been turned into a very good restaurant. A path
winds through hanging orchids as well as in the ground.
It seemed small but appreciating each flower and the
fragrance takes time. Do take time to smell the orchids.

What is a Trust, and Do I Need One?
by Amanda Wilson, Estate Planning Attorney
Trusts are estate-planning tools that were relatively
unheard of before 1960, although they have been in
existence since the 1600s. Although they are increasingly popular, few people understand them well or have
researched their applications to unique estates.
In short, Trusts assist families or individuals in managing
and transferring their estates. A Living Trust is created
during the estate-holder’s lifetime. Benefits of creating
a Living Trust are creating safeguards for periods of
incapacity, easing transition when a death occurs and
providing tax incentives for estate-holders with substantial estates. In Washington State, a substantial estate is an
estate over $2,000,000.
A Living Trust is recommended for blended families with
children from prior relationships or where each individual
brought in substantial personal assets, individuals or couples
whose estates is more than $2,000,000 and any estate that
has a significant amount of real estate (three or more houses
or properties). Anyone can have a Living Trust, but it does
require some work by estate-holders up front, and simple
estates may not require that work to be done.
Alternatively, a Testamentary Trust can be created upon
the estate-holder’s death, through the estate-holder’s Last
Will and Testament. The main use of a Testamentary Trust
is to provide funds to beneficiaries for specific purposes
after an estate-holder dies. The funds can be for any
number of purposes: education, special needs, pet care
or charities to name a few. For a Testamentary Trust, the
Last Will and Testament becomes the Trust document
naming a Trustee and laying out any Trust provisions.
A Testamentary Trust can also provide some tax protections, though not as much as a Living Trust. Because a
Testamentary Trust is created after the estate-holder’s
death, it contains no provisions to protect the estate during
periods of incapacity during the estate holder’s lifetime.
Also, Last Will and Testaments that create Testamentary
Trusts do not handle the entire estate of a couple, but only
the individual’s own portion of the estate.
When a Living Trust is created, the estate-holder signs a
Trust document and transfers ownership of their assets
(real estate, accounts, etc.) into the name of the Living
Trust. By transferring their estate during life, the estateholder has more control over the management of their
estate, now and after their death. Once transferred into the
Living Trust, the Trust Estate is managed by the Trustee,
who is named by the original estate-holder(s) and is most
often the original estate-holder(s) themselves. A close
family member or friend (or a professional who is hired
for a fee) is named as the Subsequent Trustee who steps
Page 5
in when the original estate-holder is no longer able to
manage the estate because of death or incapacity. Trustees
must adhere to rules set out by the original estateholder(s) in the Trust document, which can be amended
by the original estate-holder(s) as long as they are able.
With a Living Trust, because the estate is transferred
during life, the estate-holder’s estate will not pass through
a Will, and therefore does not need to go to probate if
the estate-holder is conscientious about funding the
Trust (transferring all of their estate and any future assets
acquired into the Living Trust). However, even with a
Living Trust it is necessary to have a simple Will in place,
called a pour-over Will, which transfers any overlooked
assets into the Living Trust upon the estate-holder’s death.
Every estate is unique, so it is beneficial to consult with an
estate planning attorney before making estate planning decisions, such as whether it is better for you and your family to
have a Trust or Wills. Remember, a Living Trust does not do
anything unless the Living Trust owns your estate, so creating
one on-line can be a liability. Your attorney can help you
update your estate plan and avoid blunders.
McHurons Celebrate 70 Years
Former residents Clark and Jean McHuron celebrated 70
years of marriage on Tuesday, February 28. Migrating to
their favorite place, the Pacific Northwest, in 1993 after
many years of seeing the U.S. and the world, they settled
in Port Ludlow. They owned the Eagle’s Nest, a 35-foot
CHB trawler and welcomed visitors into their home overlooking Puget Sound and the Cascades.
The McHurons were actively involved here with
church and community. Clark was citizen chairman of
a committee that coordinated EMTs and paramedics to
better the local emergency response system. Jean spearheaded “Sew What?,” an organization that made countless
items for the needy.
As children the McHurons grew up on the same street in
upstate New York. She became a teacher and he graduated
from Syracuse University with post-graduate work at Brown.
Throughout the years they lived in Providence, Rhode Island;
Washington, D.C.; Denver, Colorado; Wyoming, Alaska and
California before settling in Port Ludlow.
Active octogenarians, they returned to California in 2004
settling in Davis. They have hosted many family gatherings and frequent the Senior Center where Jean has been
an enthusiastic participant of the Memoirs Class documenting their exciting life together. If you asked her what
the secret to their marriage is, she would say, “He traveled a lot.” Congratulatory notes can be sent c/o Barbara
McHuron, 5302 Vista Point Court, Concord CA 94521.
Using Container Planting to
Enhance Small Gardens
by Judy Arnold, Contributing Writer
Many of us here in Port
Ludlow have small gardens, so
container gardening is perfect
to bring color and design to
your outdoor living space.
Choosing plants is important,
but getting a good start with
soil and pot choice needs to
be step one. Developing a
watering plan is essential since
warm weather will necessitate
daily watering. Drip irrigation
An elegant container with
provides consistent watering.
“Thrillers, Fillers and
My neighbor uses a liter-sized
Spillers.”
Courtesy photo pop bottle. She punctures
two holes near the top of the
bottle, fills it with water, caps it and turns it upside down
in a container garden for a slow drip.
Soil should be good quality, commercial potting soil mix,
not soil dug from your garden. Many varieties have moisture retention ingredients and/or slow-release fertilizer.
The depth of the soil should be sufficient to allow lush
root growth. If dealing with a tall pot, the excess depth
can be filled with packing peanuts (not the biodegradable kind or your plants will sink). Old, black plastic pots
turned upside down in the bottom of large containers can
take up excess space.
A regular fertilizing schedule is important for healthy,
vigorous growth. If you use a liquid type, a weekly application of diluted mix is best. Pots that are resistant to frost
damage are generally worth the extra price. I have used
some large terracotta, non-glazed pots and, during our last
freeze, they began shedding their skins. Look for glazing
on the exterior of the pot. For good results, you can paint
the inside of the pot with roof sealant. However, purchasing
a fiberglass pot will eliminate the problem completely.
Drainage is vital. If your chosen container does not have
a drainage hole, you can create one with a ceramic tile
drill bit for a glazed pot or a regular bit for plastic or
unglazed terracotta. Place a piece of landscape cloth in
the bottom of the pot to prevent soil from clogging the
drain hole. Choosing container style and color can be an
important part of your design. I found some purple pots
that accented the colorful Adirondack chairs on my patio.
My husband and I can move extra heavy pots with an
ingenious item called a “Pot Lifter,” a sling type device to
distribute the weight of the pot between two people. It is
available at large, local nurseries.
Now you are ready for the gardening fun of choosing
your plants. Consider the location you plan for your
container—sun or shade, and select plants with similar
needs. There is an acronym helpful in plants selection:
TFS (Thrillers, Fillers, Spillers). Thrillers provide height
and center interest providing the high point of a conical
shape. A feathery evergreen, like a miniature cypress,
would be a good choice. Pformium (New Zealand Flax) is
also attractive. There are many varieties of Heuchera that
make good Fillers; Lobelia, petunias and coleus work
well. Many types of Spillers are easy to grow; Bacopa,
Helichrysum ‘Lemon Licorice’ and Creeping Wirevine
are good selections. After the basic form is built, you
could add any colorful annual and then exchange these
plants as the seasons evolve. Pansies, cabbage, kale or
small asters can be added in the fall. Check plant labels
for similar sun and moisture needs as you plan your
composition. The month of May, when nighttime temperatures become stable, is a good time to plan on setting
your containers outdoors.

can be obtained at www.gardenswest.com. They published

From the Commissioner’s Desk
by John Austin, Jefferson County Commissioner
Most of us in Port Ludlow have benefitted from prescription medications. Pain has been relieved, infections overcome and a variety of conditions have been treated. In your
medicine cabinet you may find a history of your medical
battles. As interesting as this may be, unused and unnecessary drugs present a hazard to you and to the environment.
According to the Washington State Association of Local
Public Health Officials (WSALPHO), there is an epidemic
of abuse and poisonings from medicines in our homes.
Misused prescription drugs are the drugs of choice among
early teens. Over three out of five teens report that painkillers are easy to get from family medicine cabinets. We
have read stories of kids raiding their parents’ cabinets or
those of neighbors to collect drugs for “pharm” parties.
Pills are collected in a bowl and randomly consumed. Such
parties have led to fatal consequences. There is a clear need
to rid our cabinets of unused and unnecessary medications.
What are our options for safe drug disposal? In the past
we were counseled to flush pills away. This practice
has proven harmful to the environment. Wastewater
treatment facilities do not effectively remove or degrade
pharmaceuticals. The ultimate contamination of our
drinking water by low levels of bioactive medication is
Port Ludlow Voice
Commissioner continued from previous page
a serious concern. Endocrine disruptive medications in
our waters do not benefit the fish and critters of Puget
Sound. In addition, putting unused medications in the
garbage is not an effective solution, for the chemicals may
eventually be released in the leachate of our landfills.
A promising development is found in “Take Back”
programs. In Jefferson County, Sheriff Tony Hernandez
and Port Townsend Police Chief Conner Daily have established collection centers for your unwanted medications.
The Sheriff’s office accepts prescription medications,
vitamins, over-the-counter meds, inhalers and unopened
EpiPens. The Police Department has a similar policy. Last
year a total of 292 pounds were returned to those offices!
Further details on these programs may be obtained from
our Sheriff at 385-3831.
House Bill 1370 and Senate Bill 5234 have been introduced in Olympia this legislative session that would
require a statewide pharmaceutical product stewardship
program. Until such programs develop, we are fortunate
to have our own County take-back program.
A Walk in the Rain Forest
by John Bonderson, Guest Writer
The Temperate Rain Forest, one of three worldwide, lies
on the west or Pacific side of the Olympic Peninsula.
Today we wandered five miles into the Quimper
Peninsula’s dense forestland in the area of Gibbs Lake,
which lies on the Eastern border of the larger peninsula.
By geographic definition, it is not part of the rain forest,
but similarities certainly abound. A difference may be
in the amount of old growth forest. Even with second
and third growth, it is a complex mixture of mostly tall
Douglas Fir, Western Hemlock and Red Cedar with an
occasional stand of the huge and gnarled Big Leaf Maple.
Beneath these grand canopies, there is a rather vast assortment of plants and remains from fallen tree logs sprouting
new specimens to ancient deteriorating stumps and
massive exposed root systems often coated in green fuzzy
moss. Add the rich green ground cover of native ferns and
other plants—some in dormancy—and you have quite a
mosaic to feed your inspiration or imagination.
The morning air was cool at 38 degrees and damp with
mist and eventually some light rain. Glancing upward
the mist or fog periodically obscured the view if only to
enhance the mystery of the surrounding landscape. In our
eyes, it was the rain forest in wintertime: the wet soggy
landscape, the gentle peaceful dripping moisture off
leaves and plants and the soft mushy fallen leaves on the
Page 7
trail path. It was only we few mortals in this quiet seemingly remote place sharing, for a brief moment, what it
had to offer.
We were 20 eager Port Ludlow hikers on a cool damp
Saturday morning in January, in a place not terribly far from
our doorsteps. Jack Manning and Kathy Muir were our expert
and dependable leaders to guide us through the maze. Every
two weeks similar adventures are planned and available in
this land of grand mountains, forests and waterways.
Aspirin and Heart Attacks
Dr. Virend Somers, Mayo Clinic cardiologist and
lead author of a report appearing in the 2008 Journal
of the American College of Cardiology, provides the
following advice about aspirin and heart attacks. Somers
says that most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6:00 a.m. and noon. Having one during the
night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that
something unusual happened.
Taking aspirin may help but the time of day matters. If
you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it
at night. The reason is that aspirin has a 24-hour “halflife,” therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee
hours of the morning, the aspirin would be strongest in
your system.
Aspirin lasts a long time in your medicine chest but it
does get old. When it does, it smells like vinegar and
should be discarded. Bayer is making crystal aspirin to
dissolve instantly on the tongue. It works much faster
than the tablets.
Symptoms of a heart attack, besides pain in the left arm
and chest, can include nausea and sweating. However,
these symptoms occur less frequently than chest pain. The
majority of people, about 60 percent, who had a heart
attack during their sleep, did not wake up. If pain wakes you, immediately dissolve two aspirins
in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water.
Afterwards, call 9-1-1. Then phone a family member who
lives close by or a neighbor. Say “heart attack” and report
that you have taken two aspirin. Take a seat on a chair or
sofa near the front door. Do not lie down but wait for help
to arrive.
Correction: Gauguin Dates

Rose Theatre Needs Help!
by Bev Rothenborg, Arts and Entertainment Editor
For many years, I have
been watching movies
and attending other events
at Port Townsend’s Rose
Theatre—and eating
popcorn too, of course.
I’ve often wondered how a
small theater in a charming
town can support such top
notch theatrical events.
Recently, I sat down with
Rocky Freidman, one of
the owners of the theater,
to find out how he does it
Movie fans are asked to help “The and to learn more about his
Rose” convert to the digital age.
challenge. He is a 30-year
Courtesy photo
resident of Port Townsend
who spent seven and a
half years trying to satisfy his dream of opening a movie
theater. Finally the present location became available.
Originally built as a vaudeville house in 1907, it had
closed in 1958 and been converted to retail. Without any
collateral or funds, Rocky couldn’t get bank help so he
sold shares of stock that were purchased by 34 people
who, although some have moved away, have never sold a
share! Fast forward to now as the Rose Theatre celebrates
its 20th anniversary this summer. Successful from the
beginning, it is a sound business with a bottom line that
remains healthy.
Freidman alone makes the selection of the films being
shown and what a terrific job he does! Once a week he
travels to Seattle to preview, with other theater owners
and the press, new films that are being distributed. He
has found it important to diversify so he has added live
performances from New York’s Metropolitan Opera, the
Los Angeles Philharmonic and the National Theater of
London. I find it incredible that a 30-minute drive can get
you to a place where you can enjoy performances from
around the world!
Now here’s the challenge: the digital revolution is
changing the motion picture industry. Movie distributors
are converting to digital distribution. Projection of 35mm
film is rapidly disappearing. Existing equipment must be
retired and new computer-operated projectors installed.
Theaters unable to make this transition are facing closure.
The exciting news is that digital projection produces
a stunning image. And theaters will be able to present
movies in 3D!
Page 8
Unfortunately, the cost to convert the two projection
booths in the Rose and the Rosebud is steep—$200,000.
The Rose does not have the ability to finance this
major capital expenditure out of annual earnings so
they are asking their loyal patrons to help by making a
contribution toward this historic transition.
There are many ways you can make your contribution.
Buy a seat or a bronze star or for a donation of $100, you
can introduce your first movie at the Rose! Donations

Grab a Leprechaun
by Mary Kletti, Contributing Writer
Saturday, March 17 is Saint
Patrick’s Day, the day when
everyone claims to be Irish. Truth
be told, there are more Americans
of Irish origin than there are Irish
in Ireland. According to the U.S.
Census Bureau, 34 million United
States residents claim Irish ancestry,
or nearly ten times the entire
population of Ireland.
Many Americans
claim Irish ancestry
on Saint Patrick’s
Day.
Then there’s the fact that Saint Patrick was not Irish at all,
but born in Britain. Irish brigands kidnapped the lad when
he was 16 and took him to Ireland, where he was sold as a
slave and served in bondage for six years before escaping
to France. He later returned to his parents’ home in
Britain, where he had a vision that he would preach to the
Irish. After 14 years of study, Patrick returned to Ireland,
where he built churches and spread the Christian faith for
some 30 years.
Many myths surround Saint Patrick. One of the best
known—and most inaccurate—is that Patrick drove all
the snakes from Ireland into the Irish Sea, where the
serpents drowned. But snakes have never been native to
the Emerald Isle. The serpents were likely a metaphor
for Druidic religions, which steadily disappeared from
Ireland in the centuries after Saint Patrick planted the
seeds of Christianity.
The first Saint Patrick’s Day parade took place in 1737
in Boston, which is very interesting, since it did not
become a national holiday in Ireland until 1903, and the
first parade wasn’t held in Dublin until 1931. Colonial
New York City hosted the first “official” Saint Patrick’s
Day parade in 1762, when Irish immigrants in the British
Colonial Army marched down city streets. In subsequent
years Irish fraternal organizations also held processions
Leprechaun continued from previous page
to Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. Today New York’s Saint
Patrick’s Day parade is the longest running civilian
parade in the world, with close to 150,000 participants
and viewed by some three million spectators.
Many believe a very important part of Saint Patrick’s
Day is the liquid celebration. An estimated 13 million
pints of Guinness will be consumed on Saint Patrick’s
Day, according to a Guinness spokesman. If you can’t
be in Ireland this year, the best pint of Guinness closest
to Port Ludlow can be found at the Valley Tavern in Port
Hadlock. You may actually be doing yourself a favor. At
a meeting of the American Heart Association in Orlando,
researchers reported that Guinness might be as effective
as a daily aspirin in reducing the blood clots that cause
heart attacks. The benefit derives from antioxidants,
which reduce cholesterol deposits on arterial walls. The
compounds are found in dark Irish stouts, but not their
paler cousins.
Many of us have a wee bit of the Irish in us and Saint
Patrick’s Day is a fun way to celebrate the Irish for their
contributions to our world culture. So catch yourself a leprechaun, have some green beer, sing an Irish medley, dance an
Irish jig and have some Soda Bread and Colcannon.
“May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you wherever you go.”
Ambitious Goals at
Chimacum Corner Farmstand
It’s as if Story spent the last five years in Chimacum
purposely training for this undertaking, first getting
to know and understand the local organic farm scene
through work at Dharma Ridge Farm, then getting to
know many small Eastern Washington organic fruit
farmers through “All One Family Farm,” his online
organic fruit CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)
business. As a result, the Corner now has an enviable
produce department.
Chimacum Corner Farmstand continues to expand and
refine its inventory. Besides stocking foods produced close
to home, they specialize in bulk items and healthy staples
otherwise not available in the area. Service and a quality
shopping experience are top priorities for their customers.
Although the retail grocery will always be at the heart of the
operation, the Corner is also looking ahead to opportunities in the wholesale realm. East Jefferson County actively
protects and nurtures working farmland. However, in order
for agriculture to really thrive, it needs alternate methods of
food distribution. Story, who is good at connecting dots, gets
especially excited about this challenge.
Area residents have noticed and appreciate the selection at the market. “I live in Port Ludlow and am an avid
supporter of shortening our food chain. I am fond of the
produce selection at Chimacum Corner Farmstand and
the prices are great. I love that I can stop in one place for
Finnriver cider, Dharma Ridge potatoes and Red Dog
kale—I’m glad y’all are there and I hope you stay,” says
Molly Fahrenschon.

by Jen Portz, Contributing Writer
Rebuilding a local food network (not unlike the one that
flourished in Chimacum in the early 1900s) is a daunting
task. The owners at Chimacum Corner Farmstand are
hopeful, however, that their new General Manager Story
is up to the task.
A lone boat peacefully anchored in some out-of-the-way
bay is a quintessential image in the Puget Sound. This
area is a “gunkholing” paradise. Gunkholing is meandering about in a boat, anchoring in quiet mud- (gunk)
bottomed bays for an overnight, a fortnight or forever.
While gunkholers generally eschew marinas, Ludlow
Bay, which is outside of the Port Ludlow Marina’s jurisdiction, is considered one of the finest gunkholing destinations around. The high, protective walls, slightly curved
entrance and shallow mud bottom offer boaters a secure,
calm anchorage with excellent views. But, can gunkholers
stay forever?
The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at
Sea 1972, which apply “on all waters of Puget Sound and
adjacent waters, including Lake Union, Lake Washington,
Hood Canal and all tributaries,” merely require anchored
boats to display specific lights from sunset to sunrise.
Under the Federal Submerged Lands Act, ownership of
Port Ludlow Voice
Gunkholing continued from previous page
submerged lands and control of the overlying waters was
transferred to the states.
State law addresses anchoring in two places. First, it
is illegal to anchor in the traveled portion of a river or
channel in a way that interferes with the passage of other
vessels, and no vessel shall moor or anchor in the same
area on State-owned aquatic lands for periods longer than
30 consecutive days or for more than 90 days in any year.
(“In the same area” is defined as being within a radius of
five miles from where you were previously anchored.)

The website boat.wa.gov suggests that, before boating
on a particular waterway, local regulations should
be checked. Jefferson County has no restrictions on
anchoring, however boaters are asked to comply with the
Port Townsend Bay Eelgrass Voluntary Anchor Protection
Zone (see www.jcmrc.org/2projects.html), but eelgrass
beds make for poor anchor-holding so are avoided by
wise gunkholers.
In the end, whether you gunkhole or live here, Ludlow
Bay is a safe and secure location where you can always
choose to enjoy the view. For gunkholers though,
enjoyment has a time limit.
Correction to MPR Figures
The numbers in the third paragraph of the article on the
February 2012 Voice article on the Port Ludlow Master
Planned Resort (MPR) were slightly incorrect.
Jeremy Vance, Inc.
The correct number of authorized and approved, but as
yet un-built lots within the MPR is 447 (not 397 as stated
the article). This means that Port Ludlow Associates
(PLA) has only 262 (not 312 as printed) additional
units that it can plot in the future. The Development
Agreement between the Developer and the County sets a
firm maximum of 2,250 units.

Phone Directory
by Tom Stone, PLVC Phone Directory Committee
This is the last reminder to update your personal information for inclusion in the White Pages of the new Phone
Directory. The Port Ludlow Village Council (PLVC)
Directory Committee is in the last stages of replacing “the
little blue book” residential phone directory. After this issue
of the Voice, we will be finalizing the Phone Directory and
will be unable to accommodate additional corrections.
The new Residential and Business Phone Directory has
been totally revamped. A considerable amount of time has
been spent ensuring that our 1,500 plus residential homes
are included and correctly listed. The Yellow Page section
includes those local businesses that know about us and
want to do business with us. This is your opportunity to
support these local vendors.
Following our new Yellow Page advertising section there
will be a new section loaded with coupons that will save
you the cost of the directory many times over. We have
also included a new reverse White Page directory and a
new Port Ludlow map that shows the trails in our neighborhoods. We believe residents will be very pleased with
the new directory. Help us make it as accurate as possible
by sending your information now.
Wellness Forum

Working Image Clothing Drive
by Robert Burns, Guest Writer
A clothing drive for the Working Image (WI) program
is planned for Thursday through Saturday, March 15
to 17, at The Bay Club during normal hours. A variety
of items are needed due to number of clients served,
the types of available jobs, occurrence of emergency
situations and seasonality.
WI is a community non-profit organization assisting
women in need. The WI program helps women who
need to have proper clothing and accessories to obtain
employment. Since many clients are from challenged
backgrounds and have little experience with selecting
workforce appropriate clothing, they are at a disadvantage when applying for jobs or seeking to improve their
employment status. To maintain a sufficient inventory to
clothe clients, donated clothing, jewelry, purses, scarves
and shoes are needed. Money is always welcome to
purchase basic clothing items such as undergarments.
To maximize the client’s appearance, WI provides a cadre
of trained volunteer dressers who know about workforce
requirements and are skilled in determining the clothing
and accessories that enhance individual body types, age
and ethnicity. The typical client receives one to three
outfits when interviewing for a position; and, if hired,
another five outfits. This approach significantly increases
the client’s potential for becoming and remaining gainfully employed.
Port Ludlow Voice
WI continued from previous page
Due to the recent economic downturn, Jefferson County
social services agencies have identified an increasing
number of homeless female teens, many of whom are
attending school. This is a new area for WI and a major
challenge. Although the teens need clothing, they are
reluctant to be seen openly receiving donations, as this
generally results in being stigmatized by their peers and
possibly bullied. WI is involved with several agencies to
address this issue.
WI needs volunteers. In addition to trained dressers, it has
a number of other opportunities for volunteers who wish
to have a direct impact on the lives of women in need.
For questions regarding the drive, contact Robert Burns at
437-0451. For program information or to volunteer, call
WI at 385-0300, or go to www:[email protected].
Donations may also be dropped off at 1925 Blaine Street
in Port Townsend.
Response to Dove
House Funding Crisis
by Barbara Berthiaume, Contributing Writer
Dove House’s mission is to provide free crisis intervention and advocacy, and to work for the elimination of
violence through education and social change. For 28
years it has been Jefferson County’s sole provider of free
services to victims of family and sexual violence and
general crime.
Dove House has a confidential shelter to house individuals and families for up to 90 days and four transitional apartments where clients can reside for up to two
years. Approximately 80 percent of clients in transitional
housing move on to more stable housing and greater
economic self-sufficiency through education, employment, training or financial management. Last year Dove
House worked with 524 individuals and families; in the
last 6 months, they have had to turn away 62 requests for
services due to the effects of severe budget cuts.
The Port Ludlow community has always been very strong
supporters of charitable causes. When Dr. Tom Hagen’s
office learned of the needs at Dove House, it immediately
responded. Drs. Hagen and Rachael Cresto donated a
large quantity of toothbrushes, toothpaste and dental floss.
Their entire staff, including Beth Bishop, Lona Royer,
Melissa Sublett, Meagan Taylor and Renee Ward-Brown,
went shopping and personally donated numerous personal
care products. All of these items are constantly in short
supply and are greatly appreciated by Dove House.
Page 12
The Bluebills Dove House Support Program, coordinated
by Betty Faulkner, was developed in response to the
funding crisis. There are boxes for unused personal care
donations at both the Bay and Beach Clubs. A number
of personal care products, small appliances and furniture
pieces have already been collected. The donated goods
are warehoused as the Bluebills build an inventory of
products to meet Dove House requests.
The Bluebills are sponsoring a Community Drive on
behalf of Dove House, Thursday, March 8, 11:00
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Bay and Beach Clubs. Posters
with a complete list of needed goods have been posted
throughout the Village. Personal care products, which
must be new, and small appliances are high on the list of
items needed.
The Dove House program needs volunteers. People
interested in volunteering or obtaining more information
about future orientations, contact Dee Dee Spann, Dove
House Program Coordinator, at 385-5292 or e-mail
[email protected]. The fast growing Bluebills
Dove House Program also needs volunteers. Persons who
would like to volunteer or obtain more information should
contact Betty Faulkner at 437-5116 or [email protected].
If anyone has furniture pieces or small appliances they
would like to donate, please contact Betty for more details.
According to Beulah Kingsolver, Director of Dove House
Advocacy Services in Port Townsend, nearly one in
four women in the United States experiences domestic
violence in her lifetime by a current or former intimate
partner. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention
reported that in 2005 in the U.S., women experienced
two million injuries from domestic violence, more than
the number hurt in auto accidents, rapes and muggings
combined. Between January 1997 and June 2008,
domestic violence abusers in Washington State killed 430
people. The statistics are grim and the need for services is
greater than ever.

Live and Learn Lecture:
“Premature Factulation”
The Community Enrichment Alliance Live and Learn
Lecture series continues on Thursday, March 29, 2:00 to
4:00 p.m., at the Bay Club with a fascinating presentation
by Dr. Philip Hanston of the University of Washington.
His lecture is entitled “Premature Factulation,” which
he defines as “the process of coming to conclusions
without adequate study or contemplation; usually applied
to complex concepts or situations.” A synonym of this
concept is “Ignorant Certainty.”
Dr. Hanston will discuss how humans approaching a
new subject start out with ignorance, a simple view of a
complex process, but often stay at that point: ignorant,
but usually not knowing they are ignorant. We often fail
to do the study and reflection necessary to gain adequate
knowledge about a given topic. We claim to know much
more than we do. Think of how politicians and leaders
often offer a simple clichéd slogan about how to fix the
world’s problems. We hear their simplistic explanations
and believe that we, too, know all there is to know about
the subject.
A PowerPoint presentation will graphically illustrate
many points from Dr. Hanston’s book, which will be
available for purchase at the lecture for $10. This will
truly be fodder for a great intellectual discussion.
There are sign-up sheets in both Bay and Beach Clubs,
or you can call or e-mail Karen Griffith, 360-215-4038,
[email protected].
The Pink Panther
Meets Miss Marple
by the cast of “Murdered to Death”
Pink Panther meets Miss Marple could be the subtitle of
the Ludlow Village Players’ (LVP) next play, Murdered to
Death, by British playwright Peter Gordon. Drawing on
a diverse group of actors from all over Jefferson County,
LVP brings you a hilarious cast of characters embroiled in
a classic 1930s English comedy/mystery with an Agatha
Christie-like theme. Evening performances are Friday
and Saturday, March 30 and 31, 7:00 p.m. with a
matinee Sunday, April 1, at 2:00 p.m. Ticket price is $13,
and go on sale at the Beach Club Thursday, March 1.
They will also be available at brownpapertickets.com.
In addition to the patrician lady of the manor and her
long-suffering niece, we have the inept inspector and
his put-upon sidekick, a retired colonel and his caustic
wife, a tippling butler, a nosy spinster detective, a stagey
Page 13
Frenchman and a supercilious socialite. Janet Christensen
has recently joined the cast after a two-year hiatus to play
the lady of the manor along with daughter Moriah as her
niece. Charles Duncan is the butler with an attitude and
will be recognized by Key City and Paradise Theater
playgoers. Guests arriving at the manor are played by Don
Clark, Lou Vilvandre and Jim Gormly, all familiar to LVP
fans, and Tina Dietz, who lights up our stage in her debut
outing. Shirley Davies-Owens, also returns after a long
hiatus, playing the busybody neighbor who continually gets
under the skin of the local constabulary. Veteran actor Zach
Nesmith is the hapless Inspector Pratt and his sidekick
constable is David Bryant, familiar to Jewel Box audiences.
Against the backdrop of the country mansion, this fabulous cast plays out the mystery, killers stalk, people die
and the inspector gets his man—or does he? The audiences will be sorely challenged to figure out whodunit.
Laughter being the best medicine, you are well advised
to put away your pills and potions and head to the Beach
Club for Ludlow Village Players’ production of Murdered
To Death. For information contact Jane Navone at
437-0324 or [email protected].
Drive Safely with AARP Classes
AARP is sponsoring a Driver Safety course at the Beach
Club on Monday, March 19 and Thursday, March
22, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. each day. The eight hours of
instruction are designed to enhance and extend the safe
driving experience for people age 50 and older. However,
drivers of all ages could benefit from this course.
The class will review recent changes in traffic laws, the
changing driving environment and the latest in safety equipment in personal vehicles. It includes information to enable
the aging driver to continue to drive safely with an emphasis
on collision avoidance. Tips will be presented on how to
reduce the chance of injuries in the event of a mishap.
Classes are open to the public for a fee. The cost is
$12 for AARP members and $14 for those who are not
members of AARP. Checks should be made out payable
to AARP. If one wishes to join AARP before the class,

immediately receive a membership number that may be
used to secure the discounted class fee. In addition, the
Beach Club requests a daily room fee of $1 per person
and requests you please bring exact change. Certificates
of completion will be provided.
To reserve a place in the class or to ask for further information, call Russ Henry at 437-2250 or e-mail him at

“New” Organization
Comes To Port Ludlow!
Everything changes with time, and the use and application of technology is possibly the most rapidly evolving.
When the Port Ludlow Computer Club (PLCC) was
formed, we were all just trying to understand how that
machine would simplify and improve our daily tasks. But
as we all know, digital technology affects vast areas of
our lives. Today we have wireless entertainment systems,
“Smart” phones, digital photography, global positioning
system (GPS), readers, audio players, music, videos, etc.
The list is endless.
As the needs of the community and our membership have
changed to reflect the widespread use of these exciting
products, it was decided that we needed to better identify
the organization and its direction.
Port Ludlow Computer Club (PLCC) is now Port Ludlow
DigitalLife (PLDL). DigitalLife is an expression of the
influence of technology in our lives. With the new name
we also adopted a new website address: pldigitallife.org.
Be sure to visit and take a look. Please welcome the
“new” organization to our community.
Freddy Pink Returns to Festival

Gordon Yancey, lead vocalist of The Freddy Pink Band
stated, “I love being able to spend at least part of a summer
weekend in the West Sound with my family, and they will
be in Port Ludlow ‘en force’; it should be a fun show.”
Also booked and returning this year is the popular group
Ranger and the ‘Re-Arrangers.’ This Gypsy jazz band
evokes the spirit of a Paris café and the raucous energy
of a Gypsy campsite. World Rhythm Webzine says, “At
the heart of their sound is Ranger Sciacca’s sweet violin
playing... his sense of melody and daring improvisations.”
This group will perform twice at the Festival during the
day on Sunday, July 29.
A second concert will be held in the evening on Friday,
July 27, but the band has not been confirmed. “The entertainment package for this year’s Festival is coming together
nicely,” says Gene Carmody, Festival Board President.

Highlights from Caregiver’s Forum
Family caregivers face many challenges, according to
Heaven Gregg, Information and Assistance Specialist with
the Olympic Area Agency on Aging (O3A), speaking at a
recent Wellness Forum. Gregg suggested caregivers consider:
There are programs available to all unpaid family caregivers from O3A, especially the Family Caregiver
Support Program, including support groups, respite care
and a “Powerful Tools for Caregivers” class. The latter
focuses on helping the family caregiver care for his or
herself. More information can be found at
http://www.o3a.org/family.htm.
Keri Johns, Director of Home and Community Health at
Jefferson Healthcare, explained home health care, covered
by Medicare/Medicaid and most health insurance, may
be prescribed to aid recovery from surgery, accidents or
stroke. Home health nurses or certified nurse assistants, or
physical, occupational or speech therapists may provide
these services.
Tom and Sandy Boughner, owners of the local Home
Instead Senior Care, talked about getting outside help
with home care, a non-medical complement to home
health care. While not covered by Medicare, Medicaid
may cover it for those who qualify. Long-term care
(LTC) insurance also covers home care services. Home
care includes assistance with the day-to-day tasks caregivers perform when caring for our homes and selves
become too difficult. Outside assistance by professional caregivers can be arranged through an agency or
privately. While private caregivers are less expensive, the
risks of going that route are considerable. PowerPoint presentations for the home health and home care
talks are posted on plhealth.org under “Wellness Forums.”
Support Groups Form,
Accept Members
by Kathleen Traci, Contributing Writer
Cancer Support: One Port Ludlow cancer support group
has been in existence for several years, however there are
no openings for new members. Therefore the Port Ludlow
Village Council (PLVC) Wellness Committee is exploring
interest in forming an additional group to offer information and mutual support. If there is enough interest, the
new cancer support group will begin accepting members
and set up regular meetings.
Two founding members of the original group have volunteered to get a new group off to a successful start. There
Page 15
will be no fees for membership and club non-member use
fees will be waived. See below for contact information.
Weight Loss Support: Two of the three “We Are
Losing It” (WALI) support groups have openings for
new members. WALI 2 meets at the Bay Club on the
first and third Mondays of the month. Weigh-in is from
9:50 to 10:00 a.m. and the meeting from 10:00 to 11:00
a.m. WALI 3 meets at the Bay Club on the same first and
third Mondays with weigh-in from 4:00 to 4:10 p.m. and
meeting from 4:10 to 5:00 p.m. Join either of these groups
for support and information.
There is an annual pro-rated fee of $24 for membership, $2
per month. The emphasis of the support groups is on sharing
information about healthy eating and exercise options.
Nothing feels as good as being slimmer and healthier!
For more information about either of these groups or to
indicate interest, contact Kathy Traci, 360-301-5378,
[email protected]. The PLVC Wellness Committee
sponsors both groups.
Brain and Aging Study Group Forms
by Kathleen Traci, Contributing Writer
The Port Ludlow Village Council (PLVC) Wellness
Committee is dedicated to improving the health and
wellness of the community by supporting research about
these topics. If there is enough interest, two Port Ludlow
residents have volunteered to lead a study group about the
brain and the aging process. Members will meet monthly
to discuss articles, videos and fiction/non-fiction books
that give insight into the working of the brain during the
human aging process.
There will be no fees for membership and club non-member
use fees will be waived. If you are interested, please contact
Kathy Traci, 360-301-5378, [email protected].
Garden Tour Travel Alert
A land cruise by coach to tour display gardens and

A Tip from Interim
Fire Chief Brad Martin
Exercise and physical activity are good for just about
everyone, including older adults. No matter your health and
physical abilities, you can gain a lot by staying active. In fact,
in most cases you have more to lose by not being active.
Here are just a few of the benefits of exercise and physical
activity:
• Maintenance and improvement of physical strength and
fitness.
• Better ability to do the everyday things you want to do.
• Improvement of balance.
• Disease management for diabetes, heart disease and
osteoporosis.
• Reduction of feelings of depression; mood
improvement.
• Better ability to shift quickly between tasks, plan an
activity and ignore irrelevant information.
The key word in all these benefits is you—how fit and
active you are now and how much effort you put into
being active. To gain the most benefits, enjoy all four
types of exercise: endurance, strength, balance and flexibility. Stay safe while you exercise and be sure to eat a
healthy diet too!

Signage Changes Planned
Ryan S. Mowery, new Port Ludlow Office Managing
Broker at John L. Scott Realty, recently described
planned changes in Village signage to the Voice. He said
that a sign feasibility study, conducted by Port Ludlow
Associates (PLA) with the help of consultants, had shown
that improvements in the existing signage would be desirable. PLA has devoted $5,000 in its budget for 2012.

The project will concentrate on signage near the main
Resort, Marina and Condos. Designs for the signage were
completed at the end of February. Repairs and improvements will be started this month.
Mowery said that the new signage would provide better
directions to the amenities. Signs that are not positioned
correctly will be relocated. Considerations for new and
for revamped signage are that it be neat, clean and low
maintenance. The ship, which appears repeatedly on Port
Ludlow signs and markers, will be retained although
some variations in the image may be eliminated in the
interest of consistency.

Community Meetings
First Wednesday Luncheon
A representative of the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Port
Angeles will speak at the First Wednesday Luncheon,
Wednesday, March 7. The Air Station/Sector Field
Office in Port Angeles is responsible for conducting
Search and Rescue, Law Enforcement, Homeland
Security and Resource Protection activities in an area that
includes the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the northwestern
coast of Washington around the Olympic Peninsula to the
mouth of Puget Sound, including Port Ludlow.
Go to the Beach Club at 11:00 a.m. for the monthly
luncheon. Once again, the lunch will be provided by the
Food Committee. Instead of paying for your lunch, you
are asked to make a donation to the Food Bank. This
month the following donations are requested: canned
fruit, body soap and other personal hygiene products. Of
course, cash or checks are much appreciated.
And remember, First Wednesday Luncheons have gone
green this year. So, remember to take your own table
service, including plate, silverware, napkin, cup, etc. The
money the Committee saves by not providing these place
settings can then be donated to the Food Bank.
Mark your calendar for next month’s luncheon on
Wednesday, April 4. It will again be at the Beach Club
with speaker Karen Griffith. A Port Ludlow resident, she
will describe the many creative ways we can produce our
own life stories.
Dine and Discover
On Monday, March 5, 5:30 p.m., at the Bay Club, experience the adventures of Elsie Hulsizer as she shares the
stories of her quest to find the authentic spirit of Southeast
Alaska. In May 2006, Hulsizer and her husband began a
three-summer adventure in their 44-foot sailboat, cruising
what many consider to be this country’s last frontier,
delving deeper into the characters, culture and abundant
natural wonders of that amazing region.
On Monday, April 2, 5:30 p.m., also at the Bay Club,
be entertained by Robert L. Rosen, famed television
and movie producer, back by popular demand after a
fabulous presentation here several years ago. He was the
executive producer of 29 titles, including the TV shows
Gilligan’s Island, Hawaii Five-O, Puff the Magic Dragon,
It’s About Time and others, as well as movies such as
French Connection II, Year of the Gun, Sniper, The Crow,
Wrongfully Accused and many more. Over many decades
he mingled with the biggest Hollywood stars including
John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Gene Hackman,
Lucille Ball and many others. He has a vast collection of
film clips, stories and insider information that he presents
with wit and interest.
For both events, sign up at the Bay Club to bring a
potluck dish to serve at least 10 people. Remember
to bring your own complete table settings including
placemats, dishes, glasses, utensils, napkins and your
favorite beverage. A $2 per person fee will be collected
at the door. For answers to your questions call Hilda and
Michael Cahn at 437-8223.
Garden Club
Has your garden ever experienced the winter doldrums?
Does it lack color and interest?
Pack your lunch (beverages and dessert are provided!)
and join the Garden Club for an interesting program with
stimulating conversation on Wednesday, March 14,
11:00 a.m. at the Beach Club.
Karla Lortz from Heaths and Heathers Nursery will
demonstrate how to add dazzle to winter gardens and
suggest tips and aids for successfully growing heaths
and heathers. You may have asked yourself, “What is
the difference between heaths and heathers?” Karla will
answer that query as well and other questions as our
featured guest speaker. As an added bonus there will be
plants to purchase!
Annual dues are $20 and non-members are welcome for a
$5 fee.
Any questions relating to this program may be directed to

March Hikes and Spring Planning
Book Club
Friday, March 9: Dungeness Spit
Expect a 6- to 11-mile easy to moderate walk along the
longest coastal spit in the continental United States.
See wildlife, beach debris, rocks and sand. The walk to
the lighthouse makes this an 11-mile adventure round
trip. However, one can always turn around before that!
Meet at the Bridge Deck at 8:30 a.m. to arrange carpools
and get directions to the trailhead. For information
contact Bob or Jan Abiecunas, 360-301-4446. The Port Ludlow Book Club meets Tuesday, March 13,
at 6:30 p.m. at the Bay Club to discuss Susan Vreeland’s
third novel, The Forest Lover, a lush, rich novel that will
not disappoint. For all those who loved Vreeland’s Girl
in Hyacinth Blue, here comes an opportunity once again
to be enchanted with her fictional biography of Canadian
painter and writer, Emily Carr. While there are some
invented characters and situations, for the most part the
book is a faithful account of Carr’s career.
Friday, March 16: Barnes Creek
Join the group for an easy to moderate hike of 8 miles. Visit
Marymere Falls and then hike a gradual climb up Barnes
Creek to another set of soothing cascades. Meet at the
Bridge Deck at 8:30 a.m. to arrange carpools and get directions to the trailhead. Contact Jack Riggen at 437-0370 or
John Bonderson at 360-554-0470 for information.
Carr was noted for her bold, impressionistic paintings
that shocked the public and defied the Victorian codes of
how a lady should act and how art should be produced
or valued. This complex artist spent time in Europe
immersing herself in the new styles that were emerging
in the early part of the 20th Century, and also spent time
amongst the Squamish Indians of Vancouver Island and
other Native Americans of the Canadian west coast.
Friday, March 30: Dosewallips State Park
This is an easy 5-mile loop on the Steam Donkey and
Maple Valley Trails. Consider joining some of the group
for lunch at the Alderbrook Resort in Union after the hike.
Note that all cars will require the Discover Pass. Meet at
the Bridge Deck at 8:30 a.m. to arrange carpools and get
directions to the trailhead. For information contact Dick
and Darlene Gronhovd at 437-7692.
Wednesday April 4: Spring Planning Meeting
Mark your calendar and plan to attend the Spring
Planning Meeting and potluck, 5:30 p.m. at the Beach
Club. Further information will be sent to the Hiking
Group e-mail roster. For information contact Jack Riggen
at 437-0370.
Carr is considered on a par with artists Frida Kahlo and
Georgia O’Keeffe. Vreeland’s portrait of this vital woman
is sweetened with Carr’s spunk and adventures. It is made
even more appealing with the author’s understanding of
the artistic mind.
The book selection for April is Major Pettigrew’s Last
Stand by Helen Simonson. Everyone is welcome. For
questions, please call Martha Dawson at 437-4167.
Stamping and Paper Arts

sticker edging, to name a few. She will bring several
samples of her creative handmade cards that show her
various finishing techniques, as well as the tools that she
uses to accomplish them.

at the Belmont Restaurant in Port Townsend. Join them
at noon on Wednesday, March 14. The group always
enjoys their food and having the whole “upper deck” to

Kathy Dexter works with beads, charms and wire to create her
beaded dolls and “critters.”
Provided photo
Do you ever have dreams wherein weird and strange
creatures dance through your head? Come to the Port
Ludlow Artists’ League meeting and see one woman’s
dream figures take shape. On Wednesday, March 21,
the League meeting will feature Kathy Dexter, a Port
Townsend artist who takes beads into another whole
dimension. Her collection of beaded dolls and “critters” is
ever-expanding as she works with beads, charms and wire
to create these small works of art.
“I’m never quite sure what the end product will be—they
just grow and take on lives of their own,” says Dexter of
her dolls and animals. Each piece is sewn and/or woven
(no glue here), and consists of hundreds upon hundreds of
individual beads and charms. Some of her masterpieces are
even woven around your ordinary, garden-variety sticks!
Dexter, a Washington native, was encouraged as a youngster to try new things, with the idea that “everything was
art and we are all artists.” She teaches beading classes
around the Peninsula and works at The Bead Shop in Port
Townsend to feed her beading habit! Some of her bead
pieces were featured in the book, Hot Flash! A Celebration.
Guests are welcome to attend this monthly meeting,
social time and program in the Bay Club on Wednesday,
March 21, at 1:00 p.m. A guest fee of $5 may be paid
for an individual meeting or dues of $30 will provide a
year of inspiring programs for art lovers and artists of all
levels. More information can be obtained by contacting
President Wanda Mawhinney at 437-9081 or by e-mail at

Port Ludlow Village Council
PLVC Report
by Vicki Tallerico, Secretary
Vice President Tony Durham, as Acting President, called
the Thursday, February 2, meeting of the Port Ludlow
Village Council (PLVC) to order at 3:00 p.m. in the Bay
Club. Other Council members present were Richard
Grieves, Pete Leenhouts, Ned Luce, Larry Nobles, Lois
Ruggles, Vicki Tallerico, Don Thompson and Elizabeth
Van Zonneveld. Absent were Jim Boyer, Laury Hunt and
Art Zoloth. A quorum was declared. The meeting was
recorded. Vice President Durham welcomed 14 residents
who attended the meeting.
Highlight: Guest Speaker, Craig Downs
Chimacum School District (CSD) Superintendent Craig
Downs spoke about and fielded questions on the Capital
Levy to maintain campuses. Port Ludlow is included in
the Chimacum School District.
Downs focused on five questions concerning the Capital
Levy: What is the Capital Levy? A Capital Levy is used for
major repairs to the infrastructure of the schools. The
capital projects levy is a short-term funding solution that
saves taxpayers money. The monies are collected annually, over the six-year period, rather than all up front.
Port Ludlow residents’ tax rate per thousand dollars of
assessed property value is but an estimate, based on
predicted growth. Tax rates should not vary much from
the 2012 rate of the expiring bond, estimated at $.812 per
thousand. The bond was for $1.3 million in 2006. The
difference between the levy and a bond is that interest is
paid on a bond and not on a levy. Residents’ total taxes
will not go up due to the levy.
Why now? The CSD bond is set to expire in December
2012. The bond ends and the levy begins.
Is this a part of the Long Range Plan? Structural, mechanical and electrical engineers worked with an architect to
evaluate the facilities. The six-year levy request is for
major improvements to the CSD campuses. There is inefficient heating, lighting and communications systems as
well as deteriorating buildings that have become nearly
impossible for experts to repair.
How does it contribute to the mission of the District?
How will the funds be used? There are five main issues;
however, the issues they would like to focus on are
repairing the roofs, fixing the shell of the buildings for

energy efficiency, improving the lighting and updating the
communications system.
Superintendent Downs has given this presentation to the
Rotary, the Chamber of Commerce and held an open
house where attendees were taken on a tour of the school.
Old Business: Vice President Tony Durham received
a letter dated October 12, 2011 from a resident who
is attending the Jazzercise classes being held at the
Conference Center. It stated that the Center was in need of
some attention. Diane Smeland, President of Port Ludlow
Associates (PLA), stated the Center was the responsibility
of PLA and not the PLVC.
Council Actions and Committee Reports
Secretary’s Report: A motion was made, seconded and
passed unanimously to accept the corrected minutes of the
PLVC General Meeting of January 6.
Treasurer’s Report: Don Thompson reported the IMQ
Legal Fund contained $7,699. The General Operating
account held $17,569. A Certificate of Deposit stood at
$10,926. General Operating funds available were $28,495.
After discussion concerning the $2,000 budgeted for the
Communications Committee to improve the image of Port
Ludlow with banners, a motion was made, seconded, and
passed unanimously to accept the Treasurer’s Report.
Iron Mountain Quarry (IMQ) Committee: Tony
Simpson, Chair reported that 168 comments were sent
to the County Department of Community Development
(DCD) and 200 comments were sent to the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) at the Department of
Ecology. The only significance that came from this was
that the Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT) waited two weeks after we submitted our
comments to submit their comments. The WSDOT did
PLVC Report continued from previous page
state that the new Quarry would cause significant harm to
the residents. Reid Shockey of Shockey Planning Group
is going to do a period review and the findings should be
available in six weeks.
Archives Committee: Tony Simpson, Chair asked that
a Board Member be assigned to the Committee, as he
is no longer able to get into the safety deposit box. Pete
Leenhouts volunteered to join the Committee.
Trails Committee: Larry Scott, Chair reported that the
Committee has been very successful and the long-range
plan has been fulfilled. PLVC has made a donation of
$1,000. PLA has offered to print 1,000 copies of the
trails maps to be included in the 2012-2013 Resident and
Business Directory. The Committee will receive $1,000
from the South Bay Community Association (SBCA),
Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC), PLVC and
PLA to total $4,000 in the 2012 year.
Communication Committee: Larry Nobles represented
Jeanne Joseph and presented the proposed new banners
designed by the Artists’ League. Board members and
attending residents reviewed the banners and made
comments concerning the design and the elimination
of the other amenities that Port Ludlow offers to the
residents and visitors. The banners have the wording
“Home of the Arts.” There was also concern that the
new banners might be seen as a competition to the
Port Townsend residents as Port Ludlow being an art
community of the Peninsula. There was a discussion concerning the amount of money
originally requested and budgeted for the cost of the
new banners, and if the banners were not approved,
what would the money be used for in this project. Tony
Simpson requested the Board to allocate some money in
order to persuade others to get involved. It was noted that
there is a $400 projection for this project.
Diane Smeland offered that she and Tom Stone have
discussed this issue and what he would like to see occur
within the village and the roadways approaching Port
Ludlow. A suggestion was made that the different groups
buy their banners representing their interests. Following
the discussion, a motion was made, seconded and passed
unanimously to table the discussion until Tom Stone was
able to be present at the meeting.
Wellness Committee: Ursel and Gunter Krumme
reported the Committee wants their website plhealth.org
integrated with the PLVC website. He announced there
would be a forum for the Committee, Wednesday, March
7 at the Beach Club and a Wellness and Safety Fair in
Port Townsend on Wednesday, March 24.
Announcements: The next General Meeting of the PLVC
will be Thursday, March 1, 3:00 p.m. at the Beach Club.
The Workshop Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March
20, 3:00 p.m. at the Beach Club. Information about the
PLVC and Port Ludlow is available at www.plvc.org. The
meeting agenda is posted on the website at least one day
in advance.
Trails Committee Report
by Larry Scott, Chair
After completing the new Estuary Trail, Trails Committee
work (Fun Day) crews were on a short hiatus—with
the exception of the signs crew, Dean Morgan and Stan
Gustin. Dean makes the many signs that provide direction
through our ever-improving Port Ludlow Trails system
and when there are a sufficient number ready to plant,
Stan joins him. Then, with a little pounding and sweat,
Port Ludlow residents have a new hiking guide. Dean
has been busy with our increasing trails system thanks to
the approval of the alphabet soup of organizations: Port
Ludlow Village Council (PLVC), South Bay Community
Association (SBCA), Ludlow Maintenance Commission
(LMC), Port Ludlow Associates (PLA) and Olympic
Resource Management (ORM).
On our upcoming schedule or “To-Do” list, we have a
number of small items to finish up before we begin our
next new trail. By the time this Voice comes out, they may
be partially or completely done. Following their conclusion, we will begin the next approved new trail in our
efforts to promote Port Ludlow as the community offering
the best hiking trails in the state of Washington.
At our last meeting, we approved the final version of our
new Port Ludlow Trails map. Doug Huber has put in an
extraordinary effort updating the map and incorporating
the streets and key structures in the area. PLA has joined
forces in the effort by providing their key visitor brochure
as the background for the map and we think you will
be pleased to see the improvements. In addition, with a

LMC January Board Highlights
by Vaughn Bradshaw, LMC Secretary
The monthly business meeting of the Ludlow
Maintenance Commission (LMC) Board of Trustees was
held Thursday, January 26 in the Bay View Room of the
Beach Club. The following are highlights of that meeting:
• The outside Auditor has submitted a draft report of the
LMC 2010 finances. The General Manager, members
of the LMC Finance Committee and our CPA have
reviewed it. The audit will be finalized as soon as
required forms are signed.
• The project to correct code and safety deficiencies in
the Beach Club electrical systems is in the schematic
design phase.
• The Board is seeking proposals for the project to
correct deficiencies in the site drainage around the
Beach Club and hopes to select a design team at the
next Board meeting.
The next business meeting of the LMC Board of Trustees
was Thursday, February 23, at 1:00 p.m.
Change is in the Air
by Teddy Clark, LMC President
This is the time of year our gardens begin to fill with
color. Daffodils are often the first to announce the change
of season. It is an exciting change from the grays of
winter to the colors of spring.
Life is filled with change, including changing demographics in our community. However, we all have moved
here because we were struck by the beauty of nature
when we arrived. We stay for the same reasons, plus the
boating, golfing, trails, arts, well-maintained neighborhoods and the friends we make over time. As we know,
not all communities in Jefferson County are as inviting
and attractive as the area we call home. Our governing
documents, which include covenants, articles of incorporation, bylaws and regulations, provide the framework to

help all of us maintain the character, beauty and value of
our homes in our community association.
We all bring new ideas and opportunities with us when we
arrive in Port Ludlow, which add to the rich history of our
community association as we all look toward our shared
future. We are fortunate to have many members participating as we continue to grow and change. The more
members who are involved in our association, the richer
and more inclusive the outcome.
An example of members working together to benefit our
community association was the work of the 2009 Long
Range Plan Committee. One of the major recommendations of this Committee was to evaluate our facilities.
Next, two Task Force Teams developed a scope of work
and financial projections, the Board of Trustees agreed
and voted to obtain a professional evaluation of the Beach
Club, Bridge Deck and the RV Storage. This allows all of
us to have factual information to make informed decisions about our shared future. The Facilities Evaluation
Report stated that our facilities are basically sound and
well maintained, but in need of extensive work to retain
our assets over time. Note: The Facilities Report and the
current Reserve Study are both posted on our website
http://lmcbeachclub.com.
Next, a Collaboration Team was formed to thoroughly
review the facilities evaluation. This committee was
composed of four trustees, representatives of the
Operations and Finance Committees and several members
who have professional backgrounds in engineering,
Port Ludlow Voice
Change continued from previous page
operations and finance. After many hours of work the
Collaboration Team identified 53 items from the reports
which needed attention. Their next task was to classify and
prioritize these items into thirteen categories. With this
work accomplished the next steps could be determined.
The Finance Committee is now involved in exploring
possible methods to finance the work which is needed to
maintain our shared assets and allow us to continue to
enjoy and use our facilities. A Communications Team has
been formed to keep members informed, through articles
in the Navigator and community events.
Our Annual meeting will be Saturday, April 21; please
plan to attend to keep up to date on the work of the Board
of Trustees and all of our committees. Also, the results
of our upcoming election for our Board of Trustees will
be announced. Serving as a trustee is an opportunity to
work with many members of our community as well as
our General Manager and staff. Each year three trustees
are elected, two representing the lot owners and one
representing the condominium owners. Due to a midterm
vacancy, there is an additional one year lot owner position. The work of trustees is extensive but of great value
to our community association. To quote the Bylaws of
our Governing Documents, “A Board of Trustees shall
act in all instances on behalf of the association.” We are
fortunate to have an excellent board this year that works
extremely hard for the benefit of our community.
Meetings of the Board of Trustees and members are on the
fourth Thursday of every month; there are also one and
often two workshops during the month. In addition, each
trustee serves on one or two of the standing committees.
If you think you would like to join this dedicated group
please contact the Beach Club for an application form.
Plan to attend our monthly meetings to keep informed.
There will be changes next year; however, if the kind of hardworking members we have serving as trustees and on our
committees continues next year, our community association
will remain strong as we move into our shared future.
Come join us this spring. Catch the spirit!
Update from the Manager
by Brian Belmont, General Manager
In addition to all the work the Ludlow Maintenance
Commission (LMC) Board of Trustees, Committee
members, LMC members at large and staff have put into
the facilities evaluation plus subsequent planning and
reporting, other work is being accomplished.
Page 27
LMC hired Cagianut and Company Certified Public
Accountant to perform an audit on the 2010 financial
statements which was recently finalized.
Cagianut conducted the 2010 audit in accordance with
the auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAP). Those standards require that
the auditor plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
It was Cagianut’s opinion that “the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects the financial position of Ludlow Maintenance Commission Inc. as of
December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.”
As part of the audit, Cagianut reviewed LMC’s internal
controls and made two recommendations that should
prevent a misstatement of the financial statements.
The first recommendation is that LMC develop an independent reconciliation of various types of income, e.g.
room rentals and RV Storage rentals, to insure that all
income is accurately and completely recorded. The LMC
Finance Committee and I are working on a method of
doing so.
The second recommendation is that LMC record unused
accrued vacation time for the four full-time employees on
the Balance Sheet as a liability to the Association. This
has been completed. Cagianut also made recommendations on income tax strategies that we have discussed with
our local CPA. Copies of the entire audit report will be
made available to LMC members upon request.
By the time this issue of the Voice is published, our LMC
maintenance staff consisting of Don Baker, Steve Melnick
and Bob Carstensen will have made noticeable improvements to the two change areas in the men’s locker room.
Over the years, the sheetrock in the change areas had
become water damaged, which then caused the six-inch
base wall tile to loosen and sag. After removing the tile,
the bottom two feet of drywall was removed and replaced
with cement board. Rather than re-installing a six-inch
base tile, a 32-inch vinyl wainscoting was applied to the
affected areas of the men’s locker room.
Port Ludlow Voice
Update continued from previous page
In addition, the lockers and walls in the two change areas
were painted. I believe the male members of the Beach
Club will appreciate the clean and fresh look resulting
from the work our staff has put into this project.

For several months you’ve been hearing and reading the
following:
Spring Sock Hop
• There has been a professional review of the Beach
Club, Bridge Deck, and RV Park facilities by a third
party.
• A Committee composed of knowledgeable professional
volunteers participated in prioritizing the maintenance
and repair projects recommended in the evaluation
based on health, safety and other criteria.
• There has been a professional review of the Ludlow
Maintenance Commission (LMC), our Homeowners
Association Reserve Funds.
• A Finance Committee has been reviewing possible
options to pay for the identified maintenance and repair
projects and also to build our Reserve Funds to an
adequate level.
• All of the above will provide the basis for a plan
to implement many of the recommendations of the
2009 Long Range Plan to manage and preserve our
community’s assets for the long term.
So, what do we now know? We know that we have a
multi-million dollar asset that is sturdy but needs some
investment to keep it serviceable for years to come. If you
have questions or want clarification of the above information, now is the time to ask. A phone call to 437-9201 or
an e-mail to the Beach Club at [email protected]
will get a prompt response.
Also the Facilities Evaluation, the Reserve Study and the
2009 Long Range Plan are available on the LMC website
at lmcbeachclub.com. The more we know, the better able
we’ll be to make the right decisions about the future of
our community.

South Bay Meeting Report
Message from the SBCA Board
by Janet Force, South Bay Editor
by Ken Thomas, Board Member
South Bay Community Association (SBCA) Treasurer
Chris Whitehurst called the monthly Board meeting to
order on Friday, February 10, at 9:30 a.m. Directors
Tom Claudson (electronically), Richard Grieves, Sue
Oemichen and Ken Thomas were present. President Pat
Traci and Vice-President Sharon Walker were absent.
The Board has heard from many South Bay Community
Association (SBCA) members regarding dues for the
2011-2012 year. The consensus is that members want to
retain and even improve the quality of the Bay Club while
not increasing dues.
Mike Morgan and Linda Colasurdo of the Bay Club Staff,
and 13 SBCA members also were in attendance.
After a quorum was determined (5/5), it was moved,
seconded and passed (MSP) to approve the meeting
agenda. The motion to approve the January minutes,
with one change to reflect the starting time for the March
meeting as 9:30 a.m., was also MSP.
Whitehurst reported the financial highlights for
December, showing the Total Current Assets for
the month to be $304,054.49, Total Assets to be
$637,355.55, an increase of $31,525.44 over last year’s
Total Assets. The Income Statement for December 2011
showed total revenues of $3,600.98 and Total Operating
Expenses of $34,271.15 and a Net Operating Surplus of
$15,879.62 for the 2011 fiscal year. (Note the surplus
is always high the first month of the quarter due to the
majority of dues being paid during that month, while
expenses are very consistent month to month.) The
Maintenance Reserve is $231,862.81 with $795.39
expended for the final bill to repair the roof leak. The
Renovation Fund is $15,013.14 with no expenses. MSP to
approve December 2011 financial report (4/5.)
The meeting adjourned at 10:58 a.m. The next regular
meeting will be held on Friday, March 9, 9:30 a.m. at the
Bay Club.
Consequently, the Finance Committee, with the cooperation of the Club management, has a group looking at ways
to cut expenses. These include reviewing all contracts,
putting new ones out for bid and looking for ways to cut
back or eliminate certain operational expenses.
A second group is looking for ways to increase income.
These may include trying to attract additional rentals of
Club spaces as well as holding fundraising activities.
The first of these fundraising activities will probably be
a Bingo night. Any income derived would be added to
our Renovation Fund so that the Club can continue to be
improved for all of us to enjoy.
Please, if you have suggestions for fundraising activities,
send them to Thomas at [email protected].

Committee Highlights
by Jen Portz, Contributing Writer
Architectural Review Committee (ARC): Linda
Colasurdo reported on one tree-limbing application. Sue
Oemichen will contact Pat Traci regarding answers to
ARC questions.
Facilities Planning: Richard Grieves advised that, after
a thorough analysis of three reserve study companies, the
Committee recommended hiring Reserve Data Analysis.
Their bid includes an initial study and accompanying
software that facilitates annual updating at no additional
Port Ludlow Voice
Highlights continued from previous page
cost. The decision was tabled until March. Bob Burns
presented the preliminary Landscape Plan he and Eline
Lybarger had developed to provide structure and maintenance to improve the look of the grounds in keeping with
the “Village in the Woods by the Bay” motto. The plan
includes a plant selection list for simple, low-maintenance
dwarf varieties with some emphasis on color. When
approved, Mike Morgan will be responsible for maintaining the plan with Committee and Board oversight.
A contract is being worked on; bids will be solicited
from three companies prior to expiration of the current
contract this August. Community input is solicited; send
comments to Burns.
Finance: Ken Thomas noted they were exploring costsaving ideas including a small business and health insurance premium review, health saving accounts, property
insurance coverage re-negotiation, automatic credit-card
billing for dues, Puget Sound Energy (PSE) audits and
grant research, reducing Club hours of operation and
possible Internet and cable television savings. To reduce
energy costs, window shades were being drawn at night,
the freezer in the storage room emptied and turned off,
and Morgan was researching new, more efficient kilns. A
fundraiser “Bingo Night” is in development. Proceeds of
cost savings and fundraising go into the Renovation Fund.
Additional ideas and input are solicited; comments may
be sent to Thomas.
Long Range Planning: Sherry Robinson advised the
history group was reviewing milestones and discussing
the plan’s format while the survey group had researched
various homeowner association surveys and compiled a
draft that would be submitted at the March meeting.
Operations: Morgan noted membership remained
constant. Auditor Clarke-Whitney hopes to complete
work before March. Bluebills were accepting donations of food, clothing, household items and furniture on
Thursday, March 8, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Working
Image (WI) is collecting donations of women’s clothing
Thursday through Saturday, March 15 to 17. The
water heater has been adjusted to provide more hot water
in locker room showers, the new front door was installed
and elliptical equipment and routine maintenance were
underway.
Other Meeting Highlights: Chris Whitehurst presented
numbers for budgeted versus actual expenses; her report
is available on the website. Oemichen advised the Board
to send input regarding progress toward meeting goals
for review in March. Regarding the website, Oemichen
proposed changes that include updating Committee pages
and Board and Committee members’ names. The Board
voted unanimously to approve the proposal. Three Board
Page 30

Musitheatrical Show: A New
Entertainment Experience
The witty men of Buzz Brass, aided by an actor, take you on a spirited
journey through time in “The History of Music.”
Provided photo
Earlier this year Montreal-based Buzz Cuivres, known as
Buzz Brass in English, reached 17,231 adults and children
in 37 performances. Children saw a 70-minute version of
“The History of Music” while adult audiences, including
one in the beautiful 250-seat Maurice Young Millennium
Place theatre in Whistler, B.C., saw the 90-minute version
with one intermission. In the words of the show’s author
and artistic director, Sylvain Lapointe, referring specifically to the Whistler audience, “They loved it.”
Port Ludlow audiences on Saturday, March 10, at 8:00
p.m. will see “The History of Music” in 10 acts featuring
a brass quintet and an actor who impersonates the main
character around whom the music revolves. This musitheatrical combines music and theater, taking the audience on
a witty and spirited journey through space and time to the
origins of contemporary music. From Bach to Stravinsky,
from prehistoric musical horns to Beatles songs, you’ll
see and hear the main events that have influenced music
of Western civilization, from prehistory to the present.
In addition to its musitheatrical shows and chamber music
concerts performed all over Canada, Buzz Brass has
made celebrated appearances in professional venues and
famous concert halls and on radio and television. Founded
in 2002, they performed at the Louvre Museum in Paris
as part of Musicora 2008 and received the OPUS Prize
2007 – Production of the Year / Young Audiences for
“The History of Music.” They have made three critically
acclaimed albums and in 2010 received a nomination in
Quebec for “Album of the Year” in the classical music
category/solo and small ensembles.
Complete with its own staging and costumes, Buzz Brass
has designed the performance to insure dynamic interaction between the artists and the audience. It will actually
happen right in your midst in the Bay Club auditorium.
Performed virtually “in the round,” with auditorium
chairs arranged in a semi-circle around the room with the
performers utilizing the front of the stage and a portion
of the floor. Featured prominently, the musical score is
perfectly integrated and performed entirely from memory.
You will be lifted to a fun and highly original crescendo
by the powerful brass sounds.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and you are urged to arrive then
in order to select seats to your liking. Once your seats are
secured, enjoy beverages in the Great Room as well as
watercolor and ink renderings of local Port Ludlow scenes
by Barbara Adams of the Artists’ League. She began using
watercolor pencils and pen and ink in 2004. Her paintings in acrylics, watercolor and mixed media have been
accepted in juried art shows at Northwind Arts Center in
Port Townsend, where she won a Merit Award in 2010.
Tickets are $24 and are available at the Bay Club. You can
still save $2 per ticket by purchasing a six-ticket Flex Pass
at $132, which can be exchanged in advance for the two
remaining concerts in the series—all for one or for both.
To see a short YouTube video of this musitheatrical or to
order tickets by credit card via the link to Brown Paper
Tickets, go to www.portludlowartscouncil.com.
Musitheater continued from previous page
The Fireside At The Inn is again offering a PreMusitheatrical Performing Arts Supper beginning at 5:00
p.m., or at 4:00 p.m. if you prefer. Chef Dan will serve
a $21 three-course dinner featuring mixed greens with
shaved red onion, Roma tomato, Balsamic vinaigrette
and Point Reyes bleu cheese; Chicken Marsala with local
mushrooms and truffle risotto plus Theo’s chocolate bread
pudding with espresso crème Anglaise. Reservations are
essential, so please call 437-7412 to be assured of a table.
On Friday, March 9, the entire Buzz Brass ensemble will
perform the original 70-minute student version of “The
History of Music” to students at Chimacum High School,
thanks to a grant from the Macy’s Foundation. In addition, funding has been received from Waste Connections,
operators of Murrey’s Disposal here in Port Ludlow.
This type of support helps make outstanding outreach to
Jefferson County students a reality as well as helps cover
the expense of bringing and housing award-winning
performing groups, such as Buzz Brass, who travel here
from Montreal, Quebec.
Theater Lovers to
See Rock ’n’ Roll Legends
Spend the afternoon Saturday, May 19 at 2:00 p.m.
with the Kala Point Theater Lovers enjoying the music
of Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis
Presley. These four legends-to-be united only once in their
careers on December 4, 1956 for an impromptu recording
session, which embodied the birth of rock ’n’ roll!
The Million Dollar Quartet at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre
is a historically inspired musical bringing that legendary
night to life. It captures the infectious spirit, freewheeling
excitement, and thrilling sounds of a singular moment
when four of popular music’s most extraordinary talents
came together. This moment has come to be known as one
of the greatest rock jam sessions of all time.
The Kala Point Theater Lovers will use van transportation
for this show, to and from the Bay Club to the Paramount
in Seattle, as well as after the show to Cutters Bayhouse
for dinner. Located next to Pike Place Market, you will
enjoy its wonderful water view. Departure time from the
Bay Club will be determined closer to the show date.
Having a professional driver providing door-to-door
theater and restaurant service will be a relaxing way to
enjoy this event.
The Paramount tickets are for First Mezzanine Center.
The Group Rate theater ticket is $76.75 and transportation
is $40 including ferry tolls for a total of $116.75. (The
non-group ticket price is $97). If you prefer to arrange
your own transportation, you may purchase a ticket only.
Tickets are limited so send your check by Sunday, April
1, to Judi Holzhausen, 21-1 Bluffs Court, Unit 2, Port
Townsend, WA 98368-2566. If you wish to be added to
the list for future theater events, send your e-mail address
and other contact information to KPTheaterLovers@
gmail.com. For additional information about the program,

of Clallam and Jefferson Counties will host its Annual
Concert, “Rosin the Bow,” Sunday, March 18, at the
Sequim Performing Arts Center beginning at 2:00 p.m.
The concert will be a celebration of traditional fiddle
music played by local and regional musicians from ages
7 to 94. It will include 20 performances featuring fiddle,
mandolin, concertina and ukulele players backed up by
guitar, banjo, piano and acoustic bass. Teaming up for
four of the performances will be 13 of WOTFA’s youth
scholarship students.
WOTFA is a non-profit organization formed in 1965 to
preserve and promote old-time fiddling and related arts.
It subsidizes fiddle lessons for young people through a
donation-funded scholarship program. “We’re extremely
proud of our young musicians,” said Concert Chairman
Tim Cullinan. “They’re the ones who’ll preserve this
music for future generations to enjoy.”
Fiddlers continued from previous page
A pre-show performance beginning at 1:30 p.m. will
feature the Dungeness All Stars Folk Dance Band.
Performing during intermission will be Angel Band, a
vocal and acoustic gospel group.

Auditorium, is located at 601 North Sequim Avenue.
Mirinesse Women’s Choir Concert
Rebecca Rottsolk served as artistic director for the
Northwest Girlchoir for almost 20 years, building it
into one of the most respected youth choral groups in
America. Now retired, she enjoys a national reputation as
guest conductor and clinician, having conducted all-state
and regional festival choruses in more than 25 states.
Rottsolk currently conducts two adult community choirs
on the Olympic Peninsula. She received her Bachelor
of Music degree from St. Olaf College in Northfield,
Minnesota and her Master of Arts degree from Pacific
Lutheran University (PLU) in Tacoma.
Beth Ann Bonnecroy’s foundation as a singer and extensive experience as a voice teacher shape her priorities
in conducting. An accomplished soprano, Bonnecroy is
a frequent recitalist in the Seattle area and is in demand
as a conductor and clinician. She is a member of the
artistic staff of the Northwest Girlchoir, where she
conducts Vivace, a choir of 35 middle school singers,
and is currently a member of the music staff of Phinney
Ridge Lutheran Church in Seattle. She holds a Bachelor
of Music degree from St. Olaf College and a Masters of
Music from Arizona State University.

Hooray, The Bills Are Returning!
The Mirinesse Women’s Choir.
Provided photo
Since 2006 Mirinesse Women’s Choir has thrilled audiences in Seattle and around northwest Washington with
the beautiful sound of classically trained adult women’s
voices singing challenging and diverse repertoire from
sources around the world. The singers are an auditioned
group, ages 21 to 70, who joyfully share their love of
music. Under the leadership of Rebecca Rottsolk and
Beth Ann Bonnecroy, each singer is empowered to
contribute her ability to the collective creation of a rich
musical experience.
Port Townsend and Jefferson County will have the rare
opportunity to enjoy this acclaimed choir Sunday, March
11, 3:30 p.m. at Quimper Unitarian Universalist Church.
The program, “Witness to Majesty” will include classical to
folk, Baroque to contemporary music. Many of the songs
focus on the majesty and beauty of nature. Additionally
the audience will enjoy high-spirited international songs, a
Buddhist chant of compassion and sacred selections.
It was October 2002 when a group of exceptional musicians from British Columbia, all sharing a common
purpose to play timeless acoustic music with a passionate
flair, arrived in Port Ludlow and won the hearts of this
community. Founded in 1996 by successful Canadian
jazz and rock musicians and known then as The Bill Hilly
Band, they had decided to explore some new, actually
very old, musical territory. They took up new instruments
and used their musical prowess to embark on performing
the fiddle music of Canada and the Old World.
Now nearly ten years later and renamed The Bills, these
winners of two Western Canadian Music Awards and
nominees for two JUNO Awards return here for an earlyevening Cabaret concert at the Bay Club, Saturday,
April 14 beginning at 5:00 p.m. Since this is a cabaret
event, seating will be at tables of eight or nine. The best
way to be assured of a seat to your liking is to arrive at
4:00 p.m. when the auditorium doors open. There will be
a bar in the auditorium and snacks on the tables. Come
resort casual, this is an end-of-season party. Immediately
following at 7:00 p.m., The Bills will join us for a
Port Ludlow Voice

Bills continued from previous page
No-Host Afterglow at The Fireside at The Resort. Chef
Dan will have an outstanding menu, watch the April Voice
for full details.
The Bills make their triumphant return to Port Ludlow
with three of the original members, Chris Frye, Marc
Atkinson and Adrian Dolan, and two new faces, Richard
Moody and Joey Smith. They have forged a kind of
sophisticated, down-home music all their own inspired by
a mélange of European stylings and the rhythms of Latin
America. From Copenhagen to Cortes Island, B.C., audiences have thrilled to the Bills’ blend of choreographed
on-stage antics and infectiously danceable music. The
Bills are a musical and visual joy to behold.
Tickets for The Bills are $24 and can be purchased at
the Bay Club or via the link to Brown Paper Tickets at
www.portludlowartscouncil.com as of Thursday, March
1. Flex Passes expire as of this concert so share any
remaining punches with friends and neighbors. If you
want to put a six-person group together for the Cabaret,
remember you can share the Pass and save $2 on each of
six tickets with a $132 Flex Pass.

The Mission/Vision/Value recognition plaques, posting
wonderful stories about our hard working and dedicated
employees are now up in our business units. Please feel
free to acknowledge the staff who are being honored for
all their hard work.
As the days get longer, the anticipation of summer
becomes more intense. We surely do appreciate this after
the long winter. Honestly, I personally think it’s been
pretty tame and thoroughly enjoyed the one “snow day” I
had. We anticipate having interns again this summer and
will need housing support for these hospitality students. If
you are interested, please let us know.
The Port Ludlow Associates (PLA) focus for 2012 is our
vision to “Be the Northwest’s Best.” Many times that
focus is internal and not as apparent to the general public.
In support of that focus, we remodeled Niblick’s Cafe
and the hallway leading into the Pro Shop, painted the
inside of the Clubhouse, updated the picture box, have
been chosen to host the 2012 Pacific Northwest Golf
Association Junior Boys Championship and installed two
new garage doors for the cart barn.
At The Inn, we completed our 2012 calendar of events,
put out Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for exterior
painting, hired an outside sales person to generate additional group business and met with non-profits in warm
climates to organize charity events to promote business.
The Marina was busy with a very successful Seattle Boat
Show event, and completed the addition of the RV Park to
the Marina Software.
At John L Scott (JLS) – Port Ludlow, we renewed the JLS
Franchise agreement for another five years, remodeled the
office, gained momentum on the PLA signage cleanup,
developed recruiting materials and added a new Virtual
Broker to our office. In real estate we are working hard to
complete the condo renderings and developing the public
offering statement for the upcoming development of the
condos in Ludlow Bay Village.
These are just some of the items accomplished over the
last couple of months. We have many more items we are
working on and are excited to share more with you soon.
Let me know your thoughts. If you have questions, my
direct line is 437-8342 or e-mail me at
[email protected].
A reminder: Happy Hour is every day from 3:00 to
5:00 p.m. with drink and food specials and a lighter
atmosphere. Sunday is “Family-style Italian Night” and
Thursday is “Chef’s Night,” when he creates his special
three-course meal of the week. We will extend the Happy
Hour to 6:00 p.m. in April and move to a 50 percent off of
the small plate menu for the food options.
Saturday, March 10, is another Arts Council concert – this
time a musitheatrical by Buzz Brass that promises to be a
lot of fun. We will have a pre-concert supper again starting
at 4:00 p.m. at $21 per person for a three-course meal.
Here’s the menu: Mixed greens with shaved red onion,
Roma tomato, Balsamic vinaigrette and Point Reyes blue
cheese; Chicken Marsala with local mushrooms and truffle
risotto and Theo’s chocolate bread pudding with espresso
crème Anglaise—sure to keep you awake through the
concert. Reservations required, call 437 -7412.
Saturday, March 17, is a big night at The Inn featuring
two events. You choose; and please do RSVP to the
number above so that we can be prepared.
St. Patrick’s Dinner in The Fireside with dinner reservations as usual starting at 4:00 p.m., $29 per person, $3
pints throughout the evening. The menu includes Cheddar
and ale soup; Porter braised brisket with local root
veggies; Yukon Gold potatoes and Theo’s chocolate bread
pudding with Jameson whiskey sauce, or:
Winemaker Dinner with Charlie Hoppes of Fidelitas.
Reservations are required, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m., $89
plus tax and tip. Acclaimed Columbia Valley vintner,
Charlie Hoppes first became interested in winemaking
in the early 1980s. After spending time tinkering with
white Riesling and home winemaking kits, he pursued his
passion at University of California, Davis, graduating in
1988. Since graduation, Hoppes has served as the winemaker for a few of Washington’s most recognizable labels.

Perhaps most notably, he spent a decade with Chateau Ste.
Michelle, first as assistant winemaker, then as the head
red winemaker during the 1990s. In the year 2000, with
the support of his wife Terri, he began his own winery and
named it Fidelitas, drawing on the family name Fidelis.
From the beginning, Fidelitas sought to be faithful to
Cabernet Sauvignon, loyal to classic Bordeaux winemaking
techniques and true to Washington State’s Columbia
Valley terroir. A decade later, these principles remain with
Fidelitas’ hand-crafted, Bordeaux-styled wines.
Menu
• Amuse Bouche Hudson Valley Foie Gras Mousse,
Black Mission fig confiture, toasted brioche.
• Hors d’oeuvre Coquilles Saint Jacques, Day Boat
Scallop, mushroom, Cognac, gruyere cheese.

Mariners’ News
Dock Talk
Yacht Club News
by Kori Ward, Marina Manager
by Brett Oemichen
Though I have written about boat fires in past articles, the
recent boat fire at John Wayne Marina in Sequim inspired
me to reiterate.
What do flares, personal flotation devices (PFDs),
docking and lines, marine Very High Frequency (VHF)
communication, dinghies, Man Overboard, Crossing the
Strait and Marine Salvage have in common? They are all
topics for the Port Ludlow Yacht Club (PLYC) Training
Day coming up on Saturday, April 28 at the Beach Club.
Have you ever thought about what the first steps would
be if your boat or a neighboring boat were to catch fire
or explode while tied to the dock? It is something we all
should think about and have a plan for.
You should have an escape route and know where the
closest fire extinguisher is located. The Marina has fire
extinguishers strategically placed around the docks.
Anywhere you are around the Marina docks, there will be
a fire extinguisher within 75 feet of you.
If the fire is small and you feel qualified and safe enough
to extinguish the fire, then do so; but be sure 911 has been
called, and that the Fire Department is on its way. Be
sure to announce the fire to neighboring tenants. If a VHF
radio is available, call the Marina office on channel 16
or 68, or send someone to the office to announce the fire.
The Marina staff has an emergency plan, and the quicker
we get 911 called the less damage will be done.
A burning boat will often explode when the flames reach
the fuel tanks, so always stand clear. Burning fiberglass
can reach temperatures of 2700 degrees; the smoke is acrid
and toxic. Burning fiberglass will spread quickly to other
surrounding vessels. If you feel it is safe, you could begin
moving neighboring vessels away from the burning vessel.
Never cut or release a burning boat from the dock as it
could float into other boats or property. Normally, it is
easier to fight a fire when the vessel is secured to the
dock, not freely floating around the Marina.
The Marina has three salt-water pumps and foamers that
the Fire Department maintains and trains on. The salt-water
pumps are also strategically placed around the Marina, one
at the head of A dock, one at the foot of C ramp and one
at the Marina office. These pumps will only be used by
professional Fire Fighters from our local Fire Department.
The preeminent way to avoid a boat fire on your vessel is
to maintain your vessel and its apparatus. The fire at John
Wayne Marina was caused by a poorly maintained propane
tank. If you suspect an unsafe vessel or gear on board, please
inform a staff member immediately. Let’s hope for the best,
plan for the worst and be vigilant of our surroundings.
The PLYC Training Day Committee has planned an
array of short seminars, demonstrations and hands-on
activities to improve participants’ knowledge and skills
on the water. After the seminar and demonstrations at
or near the Beach Club and Marina, participants move
to the Wreck Room, visit several educational displays
upstairs and have an opportunity to talk with Training Day
presenters. Non-members are welcome as invited visitors
of a PLYC member so please come join us.
You don’t have to be a boat or kayak owner to attend. If
you are a passenger on a boat or spend time near the
water, you’ll find an interesting topic at the 2012 Training
Day. Check in next month’s Voice for more information
but, for now, save the date on your calendar for the PLYC
Training Day, Saturday, April 28 at the Beach Club.
USCG Auxiliary Has Eyes in the Sky
by Ian McFall, USCG AUXAIR Air Crew and Flotilla Public Affairs Officer
Many know of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Auxiliary as
an organization involved with boating. Not so well known
is AUXAIR, the airborne arm of the Auxiliary.
AUXAIR aircraft are owned by private individuals and
are equipped with Marine Radios and other electronics
specifically needed for USCG operations. AUXAIR aviators have varied aviation backgrounds and many have
prior military experience. They volunteer their aircraft for
use as facilities, just as surface operators volunteer their
boats. All Auxiliary aircraft meet strict USCG and Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements and are
inspected annually per the Commandant’s instruction in
addition to required FAA inspections.
AUXAIR participates in missions including Search,
Drug and Immigrant Interdiction Operations, Pollution
Observation and Response, Reconnaissance of Aids to
Navigation and Logistics. As with surface operators,
patrol orders are issued for each mission. but orders for
Auxiliary continued from previous page
the eleven District 13 aircraft and crews come directly
from the USCG Air Stations, Port Angeles, Seattle and
Astoria rather than through the Director of the Auxiliary.
This alignment of Auxiliary aviation assets in the District
with the Air Stations is known as the “squadron concept”,
making the Auxiliary assets an integral part of the USCG
airborne team.
AUXAIR members take rigorous Auxiliary aviation
training, completing the syllabus for their level of qualification in addition to the FAA Training required for private
pilots. The training, required yearly, includes Search
techniques, Spatial Disorientation and shallow water
emergency egress training. The latter involves exiting
an inverted “cage” underwater, swimming 75 yards and
getting into a regulation USCG aircraft life raft.
Pilots and others interested in being involved in the
AUXAIR program should attend a Flotilla 41 member
meeting held at the Port Ludlow Fire Station on the
second Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. The next
meeting will be Wednesday, March 14. Tim Jones of the
Penn Cove Shellfish Research Station will be the guest
speaker and will give us an overview of its operations.
The public is invited to attend.

Tide and Timber
From the Desk of the D.O.G.
by Vito DeSantis, PGA, Director of Golf
I sat in a meeting this morning listening to a gentleman
from the Pacific Northwest PGA, who spoke about the
number of golfers that had stopped playing the wonderful
game we call golf. In the last year the total number of
golfers in the U. S. shrunk more than four percent.
The statistic didn’t mean much to me at that moment, but
after chewing on it for a few hours, I realized this number
is more than staggering. It is flat out alarming. How
can such a beautiful and rewarding game force so many
people from it? What could possibly make more than a
million players hang up their golf bags?
After days of contemplation, I came up with a few
hypotheses as to why this number is so astronomical.
Here goes: there are great reasons to play golf—
wonderful exercise, camaraderie with friends, the challenge and the ever changing scenery. But there are downsides. Golf takes an extremely long time to play. It takes
a commitment of even more time to become proficient.
Golf courses are getting longer and more difficult to play.
Some golf courses are designed in hopes of landing a
U.S. Open Tournament instead of remembering that most
of the world’s golfers do not break 90. We impose dress
codes. We boggle golfer’s minds with the ultimate buzz
kill, the Rules of Golf.
On top of all of this we worship the Golf Channel and
listen to golf commentators who try to explain how to
swing the club 350 different ways like Tiger Woods. What
kind of message does this send to new golfers or casual
golfers or even those not in the game yet? In my mind it’s
the wrong message. It screams, Go play anything but golf!
So how do we fix it? We need to make golf more enjoyable and more fun. It should not take five or six hours to
enjoy. Golf instruction should not be some secret formula
but rather simple and based on a sound set of principles.
Rules of Golf should be more fluid for beginners and
intermediate players.
I propose that it is okay to throw a ball out of a bunker
after two tries. It is okay to tee the ball up anywhere on
the course when you are learning. It is okay to play each
hole as a Par 3. We all need to do a better job of being
inclusive to new players. Golf is too intimidating already! Do you remember the first time you walked out to the
first tee and had no idea what to do or whom to ask for
help? Invite a new player to join your group this month.
You may be surprised that while you enjoy a new friend,
more importantly, you may have sparked their love for the
game of golf!

Walking with Nicklaus at PGA West
by Randall Shelley, Guest Writer
A call from a friend one Sunday night in February alerted
me to a remarkable, unpublicized event taking place at
PGA West near Palm Springs. That Sunday Jack Nicklaus
and Arnold Palmer, among many golf and entertainment
luminaries, were there for a charity event. The next day,
as part of that event, each would play a round at one of
the courses each had designed nearly 30 years before
at that six-course golf mecca. The tab for each amateur
member of each foursome was $50,000—that’s right,
$2,777 for each hole, per amateur.
I was invited to follow the rounds. Because Nicklaus is
arguably the best golfer ever, I chose to follow him on the
Jack Nicklaus Private Course. It is a fine course used in the
PGA tournament held every January. I was interested in how
Nicklaus would react to “his” course given the passage of
time and how his age at 73 had impacted his game.
His equipment was up-to-date. His irons were 3-9 with
only two wedges, pitching and sand with his name on
them. They were not cavity backs but blades, as the pros
prefer, and had been well used. I watched him use a driver
Port Ludlow Voice
Nicklaus continued from previous page
and “rescue.” I didn’t catch the name on the driver, but
it looked like the latest. His putter was an old style blade
with a small cavity back, not one of the new monstrosities
and not a belly putter.
Off the tee he was straight and long. His longest drive
was 270 yards. He played a combination of forward tees
making his 18-hole length 5,962 yards, with a 69.6 rating
and a slope of 135. He did not come near to horizontal on
his back-swing but accelerated tremendously through the
ball. His fairway shots were not that accurate, sometimes
missing the greens on par fours. On eight, a par five, his
third shot was fat and thus short. (I was feeling better
about my game at that point.) But he got out of bunkers in
one. On the par three seventh, he missed the green badly
and mis-hit his second shot to remain about a foot off the
green. He holed his third shot using a putter. His putting
was still good. Though he didn’t sink any long ones, he
lagged well. He spent time lining up putts and took the
golf seriously.
He told war stories and was congenial throughout. One
involved Ben Hogan, whose playing partner got a holein-one that Hogan ignored because he was so focused
on his own game. He obviously enjoyed our small
following group. Maybe that is why he still does this at
his advanced age.
Nicklaus’ comments on the course were as interesting as
his game, many on sight lines and green enlargement. He
was being driven around by the PGA West head guy who
was taking copious notes. On each hole he commented
on improvements that could be made, “I would remove
that set of bushes for a better view of the green” and “you
could enlarge this green by moving the first cut out to that
sprinkler head and the other edge closer to that bunker.”
At the ninth hole someone asked him how he thought the
hole had aged and he responded that he did not remember
the hole at all.
The improvements at the Pro Shop are at or near completion. The new tile floors look terrific and fresh paint really
brightens up the place. New carpeting is planned for the
shop itself. Take time to examine the artwork, locally
done, which adorns the walls. It all happened just in time
for the Seattle Golf and Travel Show in February. The
artwork from members of the Artists’ League will be on a
rotating schedule.
This month the golf leagues will begin their 2012 golfing
schedules. Members may consult the websites, the Pro
Shop and these pages for information. Watch for the first
Niblick’s dinner of the season on Sunday, March 18 at
5:00 p.m. Dinner consists of a choice of two soups, salad
bar, baguette and dessert for $9.99.
Heads up! The Callaway Tour Fit Van will visit the
Port Ludlow Golf Club (PLGC) on Friday, May 25.
This is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be fitted
and treated like a touring professional. Fittings are by
appointment only since the clubs purchased will be built
on site. Appointments will be very sought after, so sign up
early. PLGC members have priority until Tuesday, May
1; then available spots will be open to the public. Please
contact the Golf Shop and ask for Vito DeSantis for more
details. Don’t get left out.

wind and whatever else could discourage golfing. Always

schools her children who are the center of her life. Time
at the restaurant will be limited, but she has an excellent
manager and employees who are a faithful “family”
keeping the business going.
“The restaurant was Pedro’s dream,” says Elena, “his ‘baby’
from childhood, a family business to pass on to his children. I
don’t want the time and effort he spent there to fade away; it’s
what he was about! God willing, we’ll continue.”

of your life can all evoke images of place. The “spirit”
of place refers to the unique, often times mysterious,
invisible aspects of a place that are often celebrated in
memories, stories, histories, and art.
Teresa Verraes, juror for this show, is the former owner of
Artisans on Taylor Gallery and brings extensive experience in fine art and jewelry. She is currently the Executive
Director of the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce.
Curator for the show is librarian and artist, Jean Tarascio.
For more information on the Community Read for March
and the events around this theme, go to the ptpubliclibrary.org website. Opening night for the show will be
Saturday, March 3, 5:30 to 8:00 p.m.
Northwind Arts Center is located at 2409 Jefferson Street
in Port Townsend and is a non-profit community center
for the arts solely supported by donations and volunteers. For more information about this show and others at
Northwind, go to www.northwindarts.org.

“Here, There and Everywhere,” a program of monologues by
contemporary women playwrights from around the world,
will be staged at Key City Public Theatre, Port Townsend, in
a program to benefit Working Image (WI) on Friday, March
9. A reception with desserts and beverages will begin at

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.
Page 45
“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 [email protected].
Kitsap Bank Earnings Triple
Kitsap Bank recently announced that 2011 earnings
tripled over the previous year. Profits for the 12 months
totaled $7.5 million, versus $2.4 million in 2010. Assets
for the bank now total $903 million, up $16 million for
the year, while non-performing assets have continued to
decline and are only 1.2 percent of total assets, one of
the lowest ratios of any bank in the State of Washington.
Kitsap Bank remains highly liquid, largely due to strong
core deposit growth, which increased $19 million for the
year. Deposits totaled $775 million at year-end.
The company continues to maintain a strong capital
position, after successfully completing a $12.4 million
capital raise at the parent level, most of which was downstreamed to the bank. Kitsap Bank’s total capital exceeds
$100 million, with a Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 16.14
percent versus 13.94 percent one year ago.
Established in 1908, Kitsap Bank is headquartered
in Port Orchard and operates 21 locations throughout
Western Washington.
Magic Show Benefits Food Banks
The Port Townsend Eagles Auxiliary annual magic
show will benefit local food banks and other non-profit
causes. Seattle magician and entertainer Bruce Meyers is
featured. His highly entertaining and original routines and
exquisite sleight of hand have earned standing ovations as
well as several awards.
Three performances are scheduled on Saturday, March
24, at 1:00, 3:00 and 5:00 p.m., in the Erickson Building
at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. There will be
rabbits, doves and amazing mystifying tricks! The show
will be a lot of fun!
The admission is $9.50. Call 360-302-1285 to order
tickets. Tickets may also be purchased at the door.

Advancing “Shop Local”
with “Get Here”
by Teresa Verraes, Jefferson County Chamber
I am always amazed at our unique
community. Over the holidays I was
pleased that our resilient and dedicated local businesses were very able
to provide what I needed. This month
I want to share magic for relaxing,
car-free trip options to and in Jefferson
County called “Get Here.” This onestop display of trip-integrated options
is not available for most other rural
communities but it is here!
Look for this symbol
for car-free options
to destinations to and
from Jefferson County.
Provided artwork
Go to Google Maps to plan trips or
“get directions” for travel by car, bike, or foot/walk. Click
on the icon of the bus to pull up a trip that knits together
Amtrak, light-rail, airporter, Puget Express or Washington
State ferries, casino or Hurricane Ridge shuttle and tribal
transit operators. This tool offers our visitors and residents
easy access to multi-modal trip options on the Olympic
Peninsula and to or from portions of the Puget Sound. How can Jefferson County display these trip options
when others can’t? Marcy Jaffe of mjcaction.com worked
tirelessly for over a decade to coordinate travel options
from the available transport partners. The idea may seem
obvious but no one had taken charge of working with
the 15 transport operators to develop a map with data
formatted as needed by Google Maps. Jefferson Transit
was a leader in adding its schedule and stop data in 2008.
The completion of the network was funded through a
grant written by Northwest Tribal Tourism to promote the
Pacific Coast Scenic Byway. Partnerships made it happen.
Perhaps it is easier to understand the process by visiting
the ”Directions” page at finnriver.com, the website for
Finnriver Farm and Cidery, a business known to push the
envelope by floating ciders with wind power. Finnriver,
mttownsendcreamery.com and kitzels.com offer “Get
Here” click-ability for you to take this tool for a spin.
At the new Kitzel’s Deli in Olympia nearly 300 persons
clicked on their “Get Here” for directions to their door as
they opened their doors last month!
Chamber members have a discounted one-time cost of
$50 for the customized “Get Here,” which includes a
click-counter for how often it is used to plan a trip. Visit
mjcaction.com to contact Marcy.

A recent study suggested giving up the second car would
save a family $12,000 per year. Let’s have our visitors
see how to “Get Here” relaxed and ready to go! If visitors
bring bikes on the bus, they may find that getting here
augments the fun of being here.
Harrison Guild Brings
Music to Patients
Harrison Medical Center (HMC) is now offering patients
on its acute care campuses at Bremerton and Silverdale
in-room access to the soothing sights and sounds of The
C.A.R.E. Channel. C.A.R.E. is an acronym that stands for
Continuous Access Relaxation Environment. Harrison’s
Mathis Guild donated the cost of installation and
subscription to this first year of programming, which was
funded through proceeds from its annual luncheon event.
Found on the hospital’s televisions, The C.A.R.E.
Channel features nature imagery and original instrumental
music. Operating 24-hours a day, it includes unique
nighttime programs. The evidence-based programming
has been shown to support a healing environment by
promoting restfulness and sleep and a reduction in noise
and stress.
The Maurice S. Mathis Guild is a fundraising chapter of
the Harrison Medical Center Foundation. Their goal is to
fund hospital programs and services, like the C.A.R.E.
Channel, that make a positive difference to patients, their
loved ones and the care team at HMC, fulfilling their
broader mission of providing exceptional healthcare.
The 2012 fundraising luncheon will be Friday, May
4, at the Kitsap Golf and Country Club. To learn more
