Her work might be described as “twisted realism;” stylized paintings filled with unexpected color, twisted perspectives, odd views, fun animals and whimsical landscapes. Working in acrylics Quilici enjoys the rich, juicy paint— quickly working and reworking a painting layer by layer until she’s satisfied with colors, forms and composition. “The image for this painting just kind of popped into my head while I was walking along the beach, enjoying the reflections along the shore,” said Quilici. Thinking about salmon for dinner and the amazing breeding cycle they endure, she a suddenly saw images of salmon “cycling.” Poster contest applications were sent to galleries in the area with instructions to depict the spirit of Port Ludlow. Jeanette Best, Poster Contest Chairman, coordinated the application process and graphic designer Gay Stack, a graphic designer for over 20 years with clients in California and Washington, was the juror. Posters can be purchased at Friday Poster Artist Mena Quilici. Market and at the Festival.

Festival Port Ludlow VoicePage 3 Vicci Martinez Sings at Festival By The Bay The headliner for this year’s Festival By The Bay is Vicci Martinez,who will perform with her band Saturday, July 30, 8:00 p.m. on the Mainstage by the water. Admission to her concert is one of the benefits of owning a Festival By The Bay access button, priced at $5 before the event or $7 that night. (See Article on buttons on page 2.) When first hearing Vicci Martinez sing, you know immediately you are experiencing something special. Though only 26, she writes, sings and plays guitar with the touch of a veteran performer. Indeed, she auditioned for and was selected for NBC’s new show, The Voice, and moved up to the second level, the live performance part of the competition. With a passionate voice, profound lyrics and incendiary performances, this Tacoma native’s contagious live shows have received critical acclaim throughout the Northwest and now the Nation. Martinez’ inspiration comes from family as well as from musical figures like Sarah McLachlan, Jewel and Dave Matthews. She delivers intensely personal songs wrapped in her soulful emotive voice. The power of her voice defies her petite stature and the soulfulness of her guitar playing is beyond her years. “I know everyone says, ‘Oh, I come from humble beginnings’,” Martinez says. “But it’s what I want to keep. I want the music to be for everyone. I have the ability to say what I want to say, and that’s how I want to keep it.” When leading her band Vicci turns her concerts into full-on events, taking her audiences on thrilling journeys of emotional peaks and musical adventures. She is as comfortable playing an intimate solo gig as she is headlining festivals. She has shared the bill with artists ranging from Sting to blues legend BB King. Vicci is trying to achieve a tricky balance. The kind you get from a history that started as a 13-year-old girl who balked at joining her school choir, but thrived as a soloist with a successful appearance on Star Search. Her American Idol audition got her a ticket to Hollywood that she declined because she decided “not to sell her soul.” She has chosen to stay true to her music and her fans. Over the past 10 years Vicci has released six independent solo projects plus a live DVD. This history defines her as an artist who wants to shape her career entirely from her heart. Building on a rich history of performing and writing, Vicci is taking her career to a new level by collaborating with some of the finest songwriters in the country and signing with new management. Her new project, NBC’s The Voice sidelined this last project. In the blind auditions she was selected to join a team coached by musician and producer Cee Lo Green. The May 30-June 5 issue of TV Guide featured her as one of the four likely to win. The Port Ludlow Festival Association is thrilled to have her entertain us. The Biggest Party on the Peninsula! Port Ludlow is throwing a “party to end all parties,” Port Ludlow’s Festival By The Bay, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 29, 30 and 31! Everyone is invited!

Sunday, July 31 Festival By The Bay Car Show and Shine. So, you purchased this car in one of those rare irrational impulse moments.You knew it had limited space for passengers and just about anything larger than a grocery bag, but you didn’t care. You loved the way it looked and the way it made you feel. It is time to uncover and polish that prized possession in your garage for the Car Show. Registration is limited to the first 80 cars. The $25 registration fee includes breakfast for two at the Car Show Breakfast at 10:30 a.m. at the Beach Club. Show and Shine awards will be presented after the afternoon Gimmick Rally.

So, grab one last plate of mouthwatering food from the vendors and enjoy the show! Festival Partners Festival By The Bay promises fabulous community entertainment, but the benefits don’t stop there. Profits from the event will be shared by two worthy community organizations, Olympic Community Action Programs (OlyCAP) and Chimacum Schools. OlyCAP, under Executive Director Tim Hockett, is affiliated with many agencies on the North Olympic Peninsula and provides an array of services. From Brinnon to Forks they work with others on transportation issues, housing, homelessness and access to health care. At Festival By The Bay OlyCAP will display a new delivery truck for its food distribution program, replacing their older, wellworn one. OlyCAP is normally busy delivering to food banks and soup kitchens across the Peninsula, but will exhibit the truck for us. Chimacum High School Coach Tony Haddenham is coordinating the 3K Fun Run; Superintendent Craig Downs will be running. Money earned from this event will go to the Chimacum Boosters to benefit the school’s Athletic Program. Furthermore, many students will be volunteering in several areas of the event as well. The Festival Association Board sees the Festival as a way to reach out to its neighbors on the Peninsula. Festival Port Ludlow VoicePage 5 Festival Golf Tournament The 2011 Annual Festival By The Bay Golf Tournament will take place Friday, July 29 at the Port Ludlow Golf Club (PLGC). This tournament has consistently drawn a maximum field of players in each of the past several years. Why? Because the format and organization of play is great fun for all participants! Again this year, four player teams will compete in a Scramble format for prestige and prizes. Prizes will be awarded for both gross and net scores. In this format each player hits every shot but moves his or her ball to the best position achieved by the team. To keep the competition more even, all players’ tee shots must be used on a minimum number of holes. While teams of four are encouraged, smaller teams and individuals are welcome. The Pro Shop staff will combine these entries into competitive four-player teams. The entry fee remains low at $41.25 per PLGC member player ($165 per member team) or $70 per non-member player ($280 per non-member team). The competition, tee prize, golf cart, range balls, winners’ prizes and BBQ dinner are included in the fee. Teams will check-in beginning at 11:00 a.m. on tournament day with all teams teeing off at 1:00 p.m. in a Shotgun start. Scorecards will be turned in at the Festival site, located at the Port Ludlow Marina, after completion of play. Winners will be announced at Center Stage and the Barbecue dinner will be served at the Beer and Wine Garden. Registration forms are available at the Pro Shop of the Golf Club now. Don’t delay—the field has closed early for this popular event in the past. Art Show Gallery at Festival By The Bay The 2011 Port Ludlow Artists’ League Gallery of Art will debut at a fabulous Wine and Cheese Party at the Harbormaster on Friday, July 29, at 6:00 p.m. The Inn At Port Ludlow will provide the wine and the League will provide cheese and crackers. Wear your Festival Button and receive your first glass of wine free. This Art Show during the Festival By The Bay replaces the League’s 10th annual Art Walk and will showcase the fine art work of 33 artists from Port Ludlow and surrounding areas all under one roof. The show opens in the morning Saturday, July 30, at 10:00 a.m. and closes Sunday, July 31 at 4:00 p.m. Your eyes and hearts will feast on beautiful art pieces and you’ll have a great opportunity to visit with the local artists and talk with them about their work or commission them to design a special piece of jewelry, glass plate or mask, gourd, floor cloth, gift or a painting for your home in various media. Many of the artists will have affordable cards and prints for you to buy and take home. Some of the artists will be demonstrating their talents, such as Jodie Morris weaving a shell or stone into her creative pine needle baskets. And there are new artists to the League, Randy and Sallie Radock from Sequim, showing their block prints and photography, Winifred Whitfield with her digital photo art and Sharon Zablotney with her silversmith expertise, to mention only a few. (See list of exhibiting artists and their media, page 6.) This special weekend promises to be the place to be to celebrate why we live in such a beautiful part of this country. And each artist has his/her own story to share with you; share your story with them! Help kick off the Gallery with a celebration on Friday, July 29 at 6:00 p.m. Wear your button and be there!

Port Ludlow’s Festival By The Bay has been developed as an annual summer legacy event for Port Ludlow and the greater Olympic Peninsula community. To meet the PLFA goal, Jefferson County requirements had to be met. Festival By The Bay has filed Special Event Permit No. 01-11. Requirements of this permit include on-site medical assistance, liability insurance coverage, recycling, traffic control and compliance with the Washington State Fireworks License, Pyrotechnic Operator license, Health Department and Food Handlers, as well as standards set by Port Ludlow Fire and Rescue (PLFR) and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department. A wonderful three-day event has been planned. Mix in a few warm, sunny days and many smiling faces and Port Ludlow will have a Festival of which we can be proud.

Reverse dye t-shirts by Terri Moore Port Ludlow VoicePage 9 Feature Articles From the Editor’s Keyboard “Livin’ the Dream” by Beverly Browne, Managing Editor by Diane Ruff, Contributing Writer July is a big month in Port Ludlow; this year it’s bigger than ever. The Port Ludlow Festival By The Bay (formerly Port Ludlow Days) takes place Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 29, 30 and 31. Your neighbors have toiled diligently to pull it off but it is bigger and better than ever under the leadership of Bob Olbrych. Linda Karp has amassed an outstanding array of vendors offering everything from exotic foods to local crafts. Many of your favorites are back. Editor’s Note: Summer is the time to invite friends and family to visit Port Ludlow. Diane Ruff’s article is designed to be passed along to them as an enticement to come. The Artists’ League will have a terrific display of work in the Harbormaster, replacing the usual Art Walk, and we thank Port Ludlow Associates (PLA) for providing that space. The Beer and Wine Garden will be waiting for you to wet your whistle. Chow down on something your doctor says you shouldn’t have from one or several of the Food Vendors. There will be world-class entertainment, a car show, golf tournament, tennis tournament, kayak races, an Etchells regatta, hula dancers—it just goes on and on. The Coast Guard will be here; so will the Fire and Sheriff Departments. This is when Port Ludlow shows what it is all about. It is the biggest little party on the Peninsula. Don’t miss it. The calendar is crowded because Music on the Green Celebrates Americana on Sunday, July 24. The entertainers this year are exceptional—the sweetheart of Country Music Mary Wiles and the Deadwood Revival Band. (See related story on page 29.) This is a special event for Port Ludlow when residents and neighbors gather with their low-backed chairs on the lawn of the Bay Club for a hand-clapping, foot-stomping good time with friends. The ever-popular Dos Okies will be offering food for sale or you can take your own for a picnic on the lawn; the Arts Council will run its popular beer and wine booth. Be sure to take sunscreen and a big hat; the sun always shines on Music on the Green. Other events this month include Independence Day celebrations and the Susan G. Komen Rally for the Cure hosted by Port Ludlow’s women golfers. There are evening sails on Ludlow Bay, hikes, special events at the Golf Course and tennis for young and old. Invite all your friends for a terrific time in July when Ludlow shows off. The views expressed in this editorial are the author’s opinion and should not be construed to represent the opinions of others on the Voice staff. “Livin’ the dream” is not just a slogan. It’s a reality for visitors and residents in Port Ludlow. With the view of the snow capped mountains and shimmering water, and the sound of the swaying trees in the surrounding forest, nothing could be more beautiful and peaceful. Whether you’re into hiking, tennis, golf, boating, plays, entertainment, outdoor or indoor concerts, community get-togethers or hundreds of activities at two Clubs with pools and exercise rooms, you’ll find all you need here. Over 30 organized social clubs allow residents to indulge their interests. Visitors stay at a beautiful bedand-breakfast style Inn overlooking the Marina or in fully stocked condominiums, both perfect for that family reunion, business conference or wedding. Visit portludlowresort.com or call 800-732-1239 for details. Entertain family, friends or business associates at The Inn’s Fireside Restaurant featuring Northwest cuisine to please any palate.

Judi and Richard Smith met the challenge of developing a rural, part casual, part formal garden on their 5.4 acres complicated by a 40-foot rise from street to house. Each area has a special feel whether it is a meandering pathway, a rockery or a collection of succulents. Susan and Floyd Shelton drew on their world travels in planning their garden that is apparent in the Chinese red accents in blossoms, trees and architectural features. Their new rose and perennial garden and a display of bird houses collected on their travels make this a picturesque stop on the tour. Peggy and Homer Evans have many elevated garden areas including a Zen garden, a waterfall and fishpond. Their back yard borders natural forest land for a tranquil private feeling and they have built several hardscape features to add their own personal touch. Dorothy and Dan Kimble have kept the waterfront part of their property quite natural while focusing their efforts on the acre in front that features over 100 species of plants arranged in berms. Their garden/summer house and patio provide the perfect spot to enjoy the results. In addition to the homeowner gardens listed above, the Native Plants Garden located near the Village Center and leading to the Ludlow Falls Interpretive Trail will also be included. Anyone wanting to join PLGC prior to the garden tour may do so by sending a $20 check to PLGC, P.O. Box 65235, Port Ludlow, WA 98365.

Some of the members of the community think our Friday Market is just an arts and crafts market. But this is not true. Granted, we are not as large as the markets in Port Townsend or Poulsbo. But, we have a lot of vendors that are associated with the term “Farmers Market.” We have true farmers, with different fruits and vegetables when in season. We also have a variety of plant people including fresh cut flowers and hanging baskets, tomato plants etc. There are fresh cheeses, fresh bakery items, nuts, honey, jams and jellies, oils for cooking and more. Fresh beef and a large variety of fresh seafood are waiting for you at the Friday Market. And don’t forget fresh treats for your pets. In addition we have lunch: burritos, tacos, brat sandwiches and other items. You can attend our Friday Market and get all the food you need for that weekend dinner! Of course, we do have arts and crafts as well. Whether you’re looking for a gift, something for a friend or just yourself—it’s there. Cards to go with that gift, too. We have wood crafters of a large variety of items you can use in your kitchen, jewelry makers, purse and bag makers, yard art and art for your home. The Port Ludlow Friday Market averages 25 to 35 vendors. We are very lucky to have these vendors who are here for you. So please, come and support your local Market. If you have any questions, contact Sandie Schmidt at 437-0882 or e-mail [email protected].

A Morning Surprise: the Neighborhood Bobcat As Dick Borsini was shaving early on June 10, he heard his wife Jeanna screaming, “There’s a cougar in the backyard!” While it wasn’t a cougar, it was a bobcat, slinking around the bushes and heading down the ravine, probably to drink from the stream. The loud sound of crows flying over their courtyard and roof was the first sign that something had been amiss. The Borsini home on Ludlow Bay Road is located about 50 feet from the walking trail to the north side of Paradise Bay Road. The sighting should remind residents in the area to be careful about letting pets or children play outside alone.

Outdoor burning is burning of household yard waste, such as leaves, grass, brush and other yard trimmings. The burn ban also applies to burning to clear land of trees, stumps, shrubbery or other natural vegetation. It does not, however, apply to recreational fires, such as fires for pleasure, religious, ceremonial, cooking, warmth or similar purposes unless further banned by extreme conditions. Recreational fires are outdoor burning of charcoal or firewood, but not debris or rubbish, where the fuel is contained in an outdoor fireplace, barbecue grill or barbecue pit. The burn ban will remain in place through the month of September and may be extended depending on weather conditions. To see current outdoor burning status, visit our website at www.plfr.org. Fourth of July Cautions Fourth of July fireworks cause numerous fires and more than 10,000 burns and other injuries every year. Injuries include burns and the loss of fingers, limbs, vision or hearing. Most injuries leave permanent scarring, result in millions of dollars in medical and legal expenses, and cause untold suffering, often to persons younger than 20 years old. Even sparklers pose dangers for children. They reach temperatures of 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit at the tip and may cause serious burns to hands and eyes. Careless handling of fireworks also can cause fires in dry brush and grass and destroy or damage homes. This year Port Ludlow Fire & Rescue (PLFR) asks you to exercise good safety practices as you celebrate the founding of our nation.

Meet at the trailhead on Timberton Road at 9:00 a.m. Art from Recycled and Found Objects Sylvia White, a basket maker who uses recycled and industrial materials, will be the guest speaker at the Port Ludlow Artists’ League meeting on Wednesday, July 20, 1:00 p.m., in the Olympic Room at The Inn At Port Ludlow. A no-host luncheon in the Inn’s Sun Room at 11:30 a.m. will precede the meeting. Lunch selections may be made from a limited menu of soup, salad and/or sandwich. Reservations must be made by Thursday, July 14 to Barbara Adams at 437-2680 or l [email protected]. Sylvia White’s free-form vessels and wall hangings have been seen at the Port Townsend Gallery, Jefferson County Library and the Northwinds Arts Center. Her baskets made with non-traditional materials have helped people view recycled materials in a different way. “I have lived in countries where absolutely nothing useful is thrown away. I think that experience led me to experiment with materials that most people see as junk,” says White. In some of her newer works, sensuously shaped natural materials, like driftwood, are combined with contrasting materials such as shiny metals, computer parts and other industrial materials. White has been a guest instructor, demonstrating her techniques to fiber arts guilds across the U.S. Her pieces have been accepted and shown in dozens of juried shows including one of the most prestigious, the international Beyond Basketry show which culminated in a full-color book. Those interested in seeing Sylvia White weave her recycled and found objects into works of art are invited to the meeting and/or luncheon. If you have questions or need more information, contact President Wanda Mawhinney at 437-9081 or e-mail [email protected].

Other Council members present were Laury Hunt, Pete Leenhouts, Larry Nobles, Tony Simpson, Don Thompson, Pat Traci and Elizabeth Von Zonneveld. Absent were Jim Boyer, Ned Luce, Shane Seaman and Art Zoloth. Acting Secretary Pat Traci declared a quorum. The agenda was adopted as written. The minutes from the previous meeting were approved with amendments. School of Woodworking Highlight: Guest Speaker Tim Lawson, Executive Director of the Port Townsend School of Woodworking, described the school, founded in 2007, and its goals. The school is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation located at Fort Worden State Park. The school offers a full range of workshops on cabinet and furniture making and is a training center for historic preservation. Its mission is to preserve the skills and standards of traditional woodworking, to restore skills that are being lost, to create jobs, and to solve the quality control problems that frequently occur in attempts at historic restoration. Among its other functions, the woodworking school provides veterans with skills that lead to meaningful employment. Lawson offered the restored Fort Worden 5,000 sq ft motor pool Building 365 as an example of the product of students at the School of Woodworking. The School has received a major grant to provide classes in woodworking. Local resources include construction companies and lumberyards. It uses its resources to provide experiential training for restoration of local buildings. Some students have gone on to establish restoration companies in other locations. Lawson described the student body as being 35 percent novice, 20 percent intermediate and 30 percent advanced woodworkers. The School of Woodworking is home to the only women’s woodworking program in the country. This program teaches women basic skills, including working with both large and small hand and power tools. He said women have traveled as far as 3,000 miles to attend the class. The school also has a class in Native American mask-making, a youth program offered in conjunction with 4-H.

Council Treasurer and Committee Reports Treasurer Report: Treasurer Don Thompson reported that the itemized invoice for $15,265.68, submitted by the legal firm of Powers and Therrien for the IMQ\Pope Writ of Certiori would be paid promptly. The bill included intervention cost in Kitsap Superior Court in the amount of $10,979.43 and the appeal of the intervention decision in the amount of $4,286.25. The payment brings the account to zero and it will be closed. The IMQ Mitigation account has a net balance of $7,694.32. Donations for the mitigation efforts from November 17, 2010 included a carry-over from the 2008 fundraising of $779.53 and funds donated subsequently by residents in the amount of $10,319.70. Expenses, including legal fees to Richard Shattuck were $3,406.91. Signed letters were sent to Brian Belmont, Mike Morgan and Diane Ridgley thanking them for their help in the collection of the donations. The financial report was approved by the Council. IMQ Mitigation Committee: The Iron Mountain Quarry Mitigation Committee will have no further news on mitigation efforts until the County issues a new determination. Trails: The Trails Committee has installed a picnic table on the Timberton Loop. Festival By The Bay Planning: Discussion centered on the type of display the PLVC booth should contain. There will be an extra fee of $30 for electricity per day. If an continued on next page Port Ludlow VoicePage 21 PLVC Report continued from previous page interactive display is desired, someone must develop it. Tony Simpson offered to provide a television that could be used for viewing the display. Tom Stone suggested that the Council confer with Jack McKay regarding a combined display with the PLVC website. Friday Market: Port Ludlow Associates (PLA) and the Chamber of Commerce have ordered picnic tables to be installed in the Friday Market area. The tables are to be used by shoppers as a place to stop and snack. Laury Hunt, Larry Scott and Tom Stone will put the tables together. The Friday Market will be represented in the Farm Guide to markets next year. By-Laws: The Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC) and the South Bay Community Association (SBCA) have expressed concern about changes in representation on the Board which would be reduced from 12 members to 9 and contain non-voting representation from PLA and the Chamber. Both believe that the Council should have geographical representation, which should be proportional to number of households. The Council voted to table the issue until the next meeting. Insurance Committee: Randall Shelley, Chair, reported on the policies for General Liability and Directors and Officers Liability (D and O) Insurance. General Liability Insurance covers all other wrongful acts such as the trails volunteers creating a hazardous condition on the trails. D and O insurance covers officers for liability they may incur for wrongful acts performed in the course and scope of their activity. The premium for the D and O Insurance was due in one business day, giving the Council little time to approve and mail the payment. To solve this problem in the future, Shelley strongly recommended that a resolution be passed that, if in the future the premium is not more than 20 percent more than the last premium, and the Insurance Committee recommended it, the Treasurer could write a premium check without a new vote of the PLVC Board. The Council passed the motion. The Council no longer carries a policy for Festival. It does need to consider the problems of naming the Coast Guard as “additional named insureds” for the 5 MPH sign outside the Marina, the different starting dates for the two remaining insurance policies, and the timing of premium quotes. Shelley said the latter generally comes in “around” two weeks before the termination date of the existing insurance policy. Because the PLVC Board has to approve these large expenditures when there may not be a scheduled meeting in that two-week period, a time crunch is created. He is working to solve the problem and is awaiting the insurance premium quote for the General Liability policy that must be renewed by June 26. There was also discussion about a letter to be sent to Washington State Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark regarding transfer of Department of Natural Resources (DNR) lands to private ownership. Discussion focused on whether statements in the letter affected insurance coverage. Shelley said, and Hunt concurred, that statements making a prediction increase liability risk. The Council decided to reword the portion of the letter containing those statements. No decision could be made about sending the letter as it was not before the Council. Announcements The next General Meeting of the PLVC is on Thursday, July 7, 3:00 p.m. at the Beach Club. The Workshop Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 19, 3:00 p.m. also 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 a day or two in advance of the meeting date. PLVC meets in the Bay Club on even numbered months and in the Beach Club on odd numbered months. (360) 385-HELP (4357) Licensed • Bonded • Insured Plumbing Repair Service Inc.

LMC General Manager Brian Belmont reported that the renovation of the outdoor swimming pool is complete. See the Manager’s Report for details. This year’s premium for LMC Directors and Officers insurance coverage has increased by five percent. The annual deductible increased from $5,000 to $7,500. Jarred Mahoney has been hired by the LMC as a part-time maintenance employee. He is scheduled for approximately 16 hours per week through the summer months and will also provide coverage for other maintenance employees when they are out due to vacation leave or illness. A drainage easement across the LMC Greenbelt was provisionally approved for Grace Christian Church at the corner of Oak Bay Road and Osprey Drive, subject to review by LMC’s attorney. Grace Christian Church has agreed to pay the attorney’s fee for the review. Based on the recommendations of the Long Range Planning Committee, the Board is developing a strategic plan to ensure the long-term sustainability of LMC assets. The Board is soliciting bids from architectural consultants on the Olympic Peninsula to evaluate the facilities, determine their life expectancy and provide cost estimates for correcting any deficiencies. continued on next page Port Ludlow VoicePage 25 Meeting Highlights continued from previous page The next business meeting of the LMC Board of Trustees was scheduled for Thursday, June 23 at 1:00 p.m. Community Association Teamwork by Teddy Clark, LMC President Thinking back to the May 12 Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC) Trustee and Committee Chairs all-day orientation, I am amazed at the progress we had made toward our goals for the year. I see members with energy and dedication communicating to make informed decisions for the benefit of our community association. The Standing Committees are working hard on a variety of issues that benefit our community and shared assets. These often quiet people work for the greater good of our members and make successful choices about our shared assets. They, along with our dedicated General Manager and staff, keep our community association vibrant and workable. In addition, two Trustees also serve on each of our six Standing Committees as well as our Elections Service Committee. Each of the nine members of the Board of Trustees serves on one, or in several cases, two of the Standing Committees. This allows clear, concise communication to flow between the Committees, Committee Chairs, the General Manager and the Trustees. The ability to communicate effectively encourages teamwork and good decision making on behalf of our community association. A recent example of teamwork is the renovation of the 42-year old outdoor pool. Thanks to the planning, foresight and combined efforts of the Operations and Finance Committees working in conjunction with the General Manager and the Board of Trustees over the years to develop adequate reserve funding, the refurbished outdoor pool work was completed without a special assessment to our members. The Grand Opening celebration for the members was planned by the Operations Committee and supported by the Lot Owners Association (LOA). It was a fitting culmination to months of long meetings and hard work, plus it was also fun to share the success with the members. The outdoor pool looks like new, enhances our property value, and is a pleasure to many of us. This summer, I’m looking forward to seeing members at the Beach Club, at the LOA summer concerts and the Festival By The Bay. As you are enjoying summer in Port Ludlow, remember to thank the many people who help make all of this possible. Come join in the fun. This is a special place to live, filled with very special people. Manager’s Report by Brian Belmont, General Manager The renovated outdoor pool opened on May 20 and it looked fantastic. The 42-year old pool was in need of a significant amount of work. The overall project cost nearly $110,000 and was funded by Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC) reserves. Without the reserve funds this project would have required a special assessment and cost our 1,090 property owners approximately $100 each. The major outdoor pool repairs included: • The removal and replacement of all pool tiles. • The removal and replacement of all perimeter drain grating. • The removal and replacement of all water return fixtures. • Modifications to the main drain. • The removal and replacement of three sets of wall steps. • Installation of double handrails on the main pool entrance. • Pressure testing of all inlet and outlet plumbing. • Re-plastering of the entire pool. On June 9, the LMC held a Grand Opening for the outdoor pool at which photos before, after and during the renovation were displayed. LMC President Teddy Clark presided over the ceremonial ribbon cutting at the event attended by approximately 90 members. In spite of the large reserve expenditure for the pool, LMC anticipates a year-end reserve balance of approximately $300,000. In order to fully measure the adequacy of LMC reserves, the Association will conduct a reserve study. LMC anticipates receiving the completed reserve study by mid September at the latest. Having an updated study will be extremely useful when preparing the 2012 Operating and Reserve budgets. Once completed, LMC members will be provided a Reserve Study summary. During the first week of June, the heat pump and indoor furnace used to heat the two locker rooms was replaced. This was also a reserve-funded project. LMC has added three part-time employees to our staff. Fran Bodman is working at the front desk as one of our hostesses. Jarred Mahoney has been hired as a part-time maintenance employee and Kathy Neill will help as a backup bookkeeper. All three are doing a fine job and are making positive contributions to the Beach Club operation. Port Ludlow VoicePage 26 Photography at Beach Club Gallery Summer Beach Concert Barbecues North Bay Art Group member Karen Pratt Riggen is the featured artist in the Beach Club Gallery during July, August and September with her one-woman photo exhibit. You are welcome to meet Karen in person at the reception Sunday, July 10, 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the Beach Club. Refreshments will be served. The title of the exhibit is “Here and There in Motion – Ici et Là ... Ça Bouge.” These words express both the exhibit photos and Karen herself. These photos were taken in Washington, Hawaii, Vietnam and Paris. Karen lives half the year in Port Ludlow and the other half in Paris, which no doubt has given her a specific way of looking at the world around her that she records with her all-abiding passion for photography. Her passion for detail makes it worthwhile to give her work a good look. Finding, for example, a small head on a big building is not necessarily obvious. Her sense of humour brings moments to her photos you cannot forget.

South Bay Community Association by Janet Force, South Bay Editor South Bay Community Association (SBCA) President Dave Armitage called the monthly Board meeting to order on Friday, June 3, 9:33 a.m. Directors Howard Koester, Pat Traci and Sharon Walker were present. Mike Morgan and Linda Colasurdo of the Bay Club staff, Recording Secretary Mea Graham and 12 SBCA members were also in attendance. After a quorum was determined, a motion to approve the May 6 minutes was moved, seconded and passed (MSP) (all ayes). It was MSP to approve the agenda as amended (all ayes). It was MSP to approve the Financial Report for April (all ayes). Then the motion to approve the 2012 budget was MSP (all ayes). The financial highlights were postponed until the return of Secretary-Treasurer Chris Whitehurst. Four other motions were MSP: To accept the SBCA Facilities Planning Committee Charter as amended (all ayes); that the Board approve a Renovation Fund Account (all ayes); That the Board approve funding this Renovation Account with $15,000 from the General Fund (all ayes); and to approve sending the Annual Meeting packet as prepared with the proviso that any changes be made as needed (all ayes). The meeting adjourned at 12:12 p.m. The next regular meeting will be on Friday, July 1 at 9:30 a.m. SBCA June Meeting Highlights by Jen Portz, Contributing Writer Highlights from the June South Bay Community Association (SBCA) Board meeting committee reports include: Architectural Review (ARC): Linda Colasurdo advised seven applications were received mostly for tree removals. SBCA Important Dates Monthly Board Meeitng Friday, July 1, 9:30 a.m. SBCA Annual Meeting Wednesday, July 20, 3:00 p.m. Visit http://plsbca.org All SBCA members are welcome. s Finance: Pat Traci presented recommendations regarding the Reserve and Renovation Funds and SBCA bank accounts. A discussion ensued. It appears House Bill 1309 (regarding reserve funds for homeowner associations) will have significant ramifications regarding restrictions on items for which such a fund may be used. The Committee will review and advise. To ensure that bids for the financial audit are consistent, a Request for Proposal will be drawn up and submitted to the Board. Much work has been done documenting financial processes for the Committee’s charter, with more under way. Facilities and Long Range Planning: Bruce Schmitz advised that the Committee is assessing costs and benefits of installing a heat pump for the pool. A new proposed charter for the scope of work was reviewed. A lengthy discussion ensued. As Facilities Planning and Long Range Planning each have a separate purview (facility maintenance versus future improvements, respectively) they will be separate committees, but will work closely together and with the Finance Committee. Amendments to the charter included a change of name to Facilities Planning Committee. As a “Standing Committee of the Board” it will advise only and have between five and seven members (Mike Morgan, two Board members and community members appointed by the Board). Contracts of more than $2,500 will be sent to the Board with recommendations, contracts less than that amount will be negotiated by Morgan. Operations: Morgan noted membership remained constant (518 members and 31 associates.) Eight properties are delinquent one quarter or more, six liens have been filed on four properties; the total amount due is $6,307. Morgan is awaiting paperwork showing SBCA has been included as an Additional Insured on the Red Cross Mass-Care Facility contract. Negotiations for the Pacific Northwest Golfing Association’s rental of the Club continue. Five candidates are running for four positions on the Board: Tom Claudson, Richard Grieves, Sue continued on next page Port Ludlow VoicePage 28 Meeting Highlights continued from previous page Oemichen, Steve Shanklin and Ken Thomas. The pool temperature has remained constant at 84 to 85 degrees for over a month. Savings from renegotiation of the copy machine and pest control contracts are approximately $2,400 per year. A new flag and spa cover have been purchased. Patio furniture is out for the season. Trees have been trimmed and gutters cleaned and prepped for caulking; some repairs will be made this summer. Carpets are cleaned. The Gazebo roof bids will be forwarded to Schmitz. The trim is being painted and the pond is being drained and cleaned. Power washing of the tennis courts is complete. As Morgan is now a member of the Community Association Institute, he was asked to and will forward their informational e-mails to Board members. Other Meeting Highlights: An audience member requested, and Colasurdo will send, information regarding HB-1309 to the Village Homeowner Association Presidents. The 2012 Budget was discussed at length. It was noted that the Bay Club has less than one percent of homeowners in arrears on dues. Action regarding donating money to the Port Ludlow Festival By The Bay was tabled until July. The Annual Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, July 20 at 3:00 p.m. A social will follow. All members are encouraged to attend. South Bay Members’ Social Friday, July 8 will be our last social before the annual election of SBCA Board members on Wednesday, July 20 at 3:00 p.m. Plan to attend and meet the nominees for the 2011-2012 Board of Directors who may be in attendance.

Members enjoyed pizza, salad and their favorite beverage and were thanked for all their volunteer hours given to make each event a success. This year’s Co-Presidents, Sherry Robinson and Marilyn Hampton, thanked the Board for their contribution to the planning and implementation of the year’s activities. Robinson reviewed briefly the events held this year and Tom Stone gave a financial report covering the group’s revenue and expenditures over the past year. A brief preview of the activities for next year included the Independence Day Celebration, a Halloween Party in October, traditional Holiday Dinner in December, dinner and dancing in February, and a spring event in April. The annual Appreciation Day Pizza Party in early June concludes the 2011-2012 year. Details on each event will be in the Voice and in mailings sent to the membership. The 2011-2012 Free Spirits Board was introduced with the addition of three new members: Karen Hashagen, Dan Holtz and Dean Mattoni. The Board still needs a Volunteer Coordinator to work with Sandra Rooks and a Co-President to work with Sherry Robinson. The more members involved, the easier the task! Anyone interested in either position is asked to call Sherry at 437-7948 or e-mail [email protected]. The Board expressed thanks to the members for their support and encouraged them to stay involved.

Music on the Green Celebrates Americana by Barbara Wagner-Jauregg, Contributing Writer The Arts Council’s 14th Annual Music on the Green (MOG) on Sunday, July 24 welcomes back Mary Wiles, the sweetheart of Northwest country music, who stole the show when here in summer 2004. (Who can forget Mike Porter leading the Village People’s Y.M.C.A.?) Whether a grandstand show, featured concert appearance, or on the outdoor stage at the Bay Club, Mary and her band put on one fantastic show! They have performed locally at the likes of the Puyallup Fair and at the famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. Mary’s shows include country blues, bluegrass, historic and contemporary country, heartland and folk—the music of Americana. (See her photo on back cover.) Along with Mary Wiles the Arts Council welcomes Deadwood Revival in its premiere performance at our Music on the Green. Winning fame in old-time/bluegrass circles as well as the jam band scene, this Northwest foursome is known for its clever arrangements, kick-ass harmonies and extended jams. With a rich sound best described as “Old-time String Band meets Acoustic Grateful Dead,” Deadwood Revival breathes new life into a variety of old-time fiddle, folk, bluegrass, rock and of course a few Grateful Dead tunes. As one reviewer writes, “You can tell from the first note that they are crowd-pleasers—fun, adventurous and yet true to their roots.” (See their photo on back cover.)

Resort News by Debbie Wardrop, General Manager, The Resort At Port Ludlow This is what summer is like: L-O-N-G days and easy living, gorgeous boats on glistening water, golfing at five and getting in 18 holes, and the freshest produce and fish on planet earth. We are so fortunate to live here! There’s a lot happening at The Inn this month; please come! We have a new menu—try the French toast for breakfast! You’ll love the Wild King Salmon Burger for lunch. We’re keeping the Sunday Burger and Monday Fish and Chips, so when you don’t feel like cooking, join us! Thursday, July 14 is Bastille Day, with guests Alexis and Juliet Pouillon of Domaine Pouillon in for our monthly dinner. To secure your place, call us at 437-7412. “What is Bastille Day,” you say? Check out the following: There are more than 50 U.S. cities that conduct annual celebrations of this French holiday: Milwaukee’s four-day street festival begins with a “storming of the Bastille,” a 43-foot replica of the Eiffel Tower; Philadelphia’s Bastille Day involves Marie Antoinette throwing locally manufactured pastries at the Parisian militia, as well as a re-enactment of the storming of the Bastille; Seattle’s celebration, held at Seattle Center, involves performances, picnics, wine and shopping. Who can go wrong with this combination? Of course, we have our own Independence Day—and there will be many reasons to celebrate as we bring out the Red, White and Blue, and share the holiday that defines so much of American history. And for a girl from Kansas City, this month’s cooking class is like the American DNA. It’s Thursday, July 21—An All American BBQ - the Secrets of Low and Slow. I did fulfill one of my bucket list items and served as a BBQ judge in Houston a few years ago. In KC it’s all about the sauce and in Texas it’s all about the meat! (Do you know BBQ judges cleanse the palate with saltine crackers and pickles?) Chef Dan will show you the way—please do call 437-7412 for reservations so we know how many places to set.

PLWGA July Events by Vito M. DeSantis PGA Director of Golf by Bonnie Vahcic, PLWGA Captain Don’t forget that Port Ludlow Golf Club (PLGC) is in the midst of our new Member Race Program and biggest membership drive ever! As an existing PLGC member you could earn up to $1,000 off next year’s golf dues. You should have received an information packet laying out the Race. If for some reason you have not received this information please stop by the Golf Shop to get it! As I am writing this article the Port Ludlow Women’s Golf Association (PLWGA) June Captain’s Cup match play tournament has just begun. Each of our lady golfers is matched up to play a one-on-one competition. The winner is determined by the golfer who remains unbeaten at the end of a series of approximately five matches. The winner will be announced in August. The tournament season kicked off in June with the start of the President’s Cup, Captain’s Cup and the Annual Mr. and Mrs. Tournament. There will be two major tournaments in July: Pacific Northwest Golf Association (PNGA) Women’s Amateur and Mid Amateur Championship and the Washington State Women’s Public Links Championship. We also continue with all of our normal Port Ludlow Golf Association play days and daily games. The month of July is very busy for our Golf Course, as well as our lady golfers. Besides our regular Tuesday play we have a number of special events. The first one is the Rally for the Cure on Thursday, July 7. This golf charity event raises money for breast cancer research and is always a fun event. After nine holes of inspiring and creative golf we are treated to a luncheon and raffle. The field fills up pretty quickly so reserve your spot early. Those interested in volunteering for the PNGA Women’s Amateur should let the Golf Shop know. We could certainly use your help with on-course scores, markers, timekeepers and forecaddies. July will also bring our first Annual Port Ludlow Kids Day! This event is open to anyone at least 5 years of age. Cost is just $25 and each kid will walk away with a golf club of his or her very own! For more information please visit our website or call the Golf Shop at 437-0272. If you miss the Kids Day on Saturday, July 23, we will be hosting a Junior Golf Program starting on Monday, August 15. For more information please contact the Golf Shop. PLGC is still hosting our ever-popular Saturday morning Golf Clinics. The Clinics are very affordable and more importantly are a fun way to learn some new tricks and tips from your P.G.A. Professionals. Sign up by contacting the Golf Shop about availability and don’t forget to bring a friend! www.plvoice.org Late-Breaking News, Calendar Updates current issue and historical issues on-line Color Photography • Letters to the Editor The second two weeks in July feature two outside events for women golfers that will take place at Port Ludlow. The first one, scheduled for Monday-Thursday, July 11-14, is the Pacific Northwest Golf Association’s (PNGA) Women’s Amateur and Mid-Amateur. Some of the best golfers in the Pacific Northwest will be competing in this tournament. I hope that some of our local women golfers will sign up for this exciting event. The next major event follows right on the heels of the PNGA tournament during the third week in July. It is the Washington State Women’s Public Links Championship and will begin Monday, July 18 and finish up on Wednesday, July 20. This is a three-day medal play tournament. It is open to all Washington State women golfers who have participated in at least one Public Links event over the past year. We hope to have a good representation of Port Ludlow golfers at this event.
