Happy
4th
of July!
As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day 2005, we’re reminded of
the ’70s when our fledgling “resort”
community invited friends, family,
and neighbors from all over the
Olympic Peninsula and beyond to
enjoy the 4th of July with us. It
was an all-day party—everyone
wanted to be in Port Ludlow. They
came by car, boat and even seaplane. The Marina and Bay were so
full of boats you felt you could
walk across them to the other shore.
In the early ’70s, Manager Larry
Williams at the Admiralty Resort
decided to clear out the Ship’s
Store in the Harbormaster, lay
down a plywood floor, add a
portable bar and create a place for
dancing and entertainment. He
also decided fireworks would be
fun. So the party began in 1971
with a barbecue out on the spit,
now called Burner Point, locals’
potluck spread, beach fires for
roasting marshmallows, and later a The large saltwater pond in front of the Harbormaster was the
setting for water activities.
fireworks display shot from the
ground. The Mary Lou Trio,
featuring Duane and Mary Lou Montgomery and Murray Damitio, provided entertainment day
and night. Mary Lou’s dad, Johnny Tonkin and his band played Dixieland during the day.

Can You Help?
Some people take great satisfaction in complaining about
what isn’t being done by “someone or something” instead
of organizing a volunteer effort to get it done.
Many organizations in Port Ludlow and
Jefferson County need a helping hand.
Each month this column will be
devoted to requests for assistance.
For a community our size, a relatively small number of
people come through when things need doing. For
instance, volunteers in the North Bay carried out their
annual spring yard waste pickup, while the Clean Sweep
Committee gather up other peoples’ trash along their
streets in July. South Bay also holds its quarterly Trash
Bash events to pick up roadside waste.
South Bay tennis fans stepped up and launched a
Herculean effort to make the courts adjacent to the Golf
Course ready for play. (See related story on page 24.) Did
you know a few volunteers from many South Bay villages
plant, weed and trim their entrance plantings? And let’s
not forget the dedicated Free Spirits Board members and
volunteers that put on fantastic parties for Bay Club
members, while the North Bay Lot Owners Association
organizes homeowner potlucks, cocktail parties,
brunches, picnics and children’s activities.
Across-the-Bay efforts bring North Bay and South Bay
residents together for scholarship fund-raising activities
(i.e. Community Enrichment Alliance a.k.a. CEA). The
Arts Council members and volunteers have brought
outstanding entertainment to the community for over 13
years and provide music outreach to children. Artists’
League volunteers have done much to provide local artists
with a showcase for their work. How can we begin to
thank the Trails Committee? They lobby for new trails
and financial support as well as physically maintain our
network of trails throughout the community. (See related
story on page 18.)
My thanks to each and every member of the Voice staff—
devoting many hours to bring you this publication. Thank
them, too; their names are on the back page.
Our community depends on volunteers who are smart,
dedicated and not afraid to get their hands dirty. We thank
you. And, if you want to get involved, see our new
“Helping Hands” column where we list opportunities for
you to help out on a one-time or ongoing basis. (This
page.)

and balloons were popular with the youngsters.
In ’75, food concessions were added with cotton candy,
sno cones and hot dogs sold by local organizations.
Hayrides, stunt pilots, carnival booths, bicycle rentals,
even tandems, hydroplanes on the Bay, and paddle boats
on the saltwater pond followed. By ’78 it was quite an
event with an Antique Car Show, two air shows with
planes streaming colored smoke and aerobatics, the
Farrington Skydivers, and a Forks logging show with
competitions and demonstrations in log rolling, totem
carving, spike driving, chopping, bucking and choker
setting.
Food was available at concessions or at the Deli in the
Harbormaster, or you could bring your own picnic and
barbecue. Extra tables and benches were borrowed from
the Mill.
The fireworks display got bigger and better. Volunteer
firemen with pyrotechnic experts shot them off in the
middle of the Bay from a barge, borrowed from Mats
Mats Quarry. Gloria Eckmann recalls it was pretty tricky
for groups of boats rafted together to dodge the falling
fireworks.
Eline Lybarger and her friends came by boat from Seattle.
She says, “The Harbormaster was the place to be. We
often forgot to take a flashlight and, after closing the
place down, had to row out to find our boat, bumping into
things in the dark and giggling uncontrollably.”
The Harbormaster really rocked long into the night with
the Mary Lou Trio, a constant draw through the years.
Somewhere along the way they became the Mary Lou
Four, having been joined by Bob Blaurock, Bob
Richardson, Rex Rice and Tom Tedford at varying times.
Does anyone remember the Rainy City Jazz Band?

their own fireworks; children
were running around with sparklers, not to mention the
cost of the fireworks was skyrocketing, too. It was sure
great while it lasted…
Joan Bruce recalls, “All I remember is company, company, company. The doorbell was always ringing and
there was company, expected or not.” Which brings to
mind that old adage —the more things change, the more
they stay the same. In the ’70s on the 4th of July, Port
Ludlow was the place to be—and it still is!

Ice Cream in August – Yum!
Nothing says summer like ice cream, so mark your
calendars to celebrate on Saturday, August 6, from 2:00
to 4:00 p.m. at the Marina. Community Enrichment
Alliance’s (CEA’s) second annual Ice Cream Social
promises there will be hard vanilla and chocolate this
year. Choose regular or low-carb ice cream for your
sundae with one or all of the toppings: hot fudge, caramel
and strawberry sauce, topped with whipped cream, nuts
and cherries.
To add to the fun, the Jefferson County Fire Department
may make an appearance with its fire truck. Young and
old, who isn’t thrilled by a fire truck? Local artists have
been invited to display their work, and the Choral Bells
will be singing for their sundaes at 3:00 p.m. More fun
activities are in the works.
Advance tickets go on sale at the CEA table in the Bay
Club each Wednesday and Friday from 11:00 a.m. to
2:00 p.m. During the month of July, including Friday,
July 1, you may purchase tickets at the CEA event booth
at the Port Ludlow Friday Market.
Advance tickets are a real bargain: all-you-can-eat ice
cream plus a tee shirt for $15; one sundae and one cone
for $5 or two sundaes for $7. The day of the Ice Cream
Social, an all-you-can-eat ticket will cost $15 without the
tee shirt; one sundae will be $4, and a cone will be $2.
All proceeds from this event go to CEA’s Chimacum High
School Scholarship Fund. During 2004, CEA raised
$2400, which was given to four students from the graduating class of 2005. With your support we can do it again
for the class of 2006. See you there!

Be Ready for Bridge
Closures in August
Wow, the Photos!

Seventy-six photos by
twenty-one photographers

Makers second photo
contest! This alone is cause
for celebration. But the real
celebration will be on
Friday, July 15, at American Marine Bank in Port Ludlow, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.,
for a coffee and cookie reception and announcement of
winners. Everyone is invited! The entire collection along
with a display of photos by our judge Garry Settle will be
on display at American Marine Bank during the month of
July, and at First Federal Savings and Loan in Port
Townsend during the month of August.
The Hood Canal Bridge is expected to have two three-day
closures in August for the replacement of the roadway at
each end of the bridge. The new roadways are now under
construction next to the existing roadway. During the
closures, the contractor will place the existing roadway on
rollers, roll that existing roadway onto temporary supports, and then roll the new, wider roadway into place.
Confronted by cries of dismay from both the business and
residential community over the closures dates, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)
conducted a poll to determine the best dates with the least
impact. The tentative dates didn’t settle well with many.
The schedule of project contractor Kiewit-General of
Poulsbo cannot be locked for certain until six weeks prior
to the first scheduled closure. Dates currently planned are:
• Thursday, August 11, beginning at 10:00 p.m. through
Monday, August 15, on or before 5:00 a.m.
• Sunday, August 21, beginning at 10:00 p.m. through
Thursday, August 25, on or before 5:00 a.m.
A weekday closure impacts those who travel to work via
the bridge who are fearful of work-related problems.
Agencies and organizations concerned with tourist
business want the bridge left open on weekends. Either
way, Peninsula residents will be impacted in regards to
shopping, appointments beyond the area and in particular,
medically-related needs. The best advice is to plan ahead.
The End Result
When finished, the Hood Canal Bridge will have a new,
wider east-half floating section, new approach sections
and transition trusses on the east and west ends. In
addition, the west half will be widened to allow for
continuous eight-foot shoulders across the entire length of
the bridge—matching the new east half.
Project Benefits
• Safety. Wider shoulders and the additional bicycle lane
will improve safety across the bridge.
• Congestion. Wider lanes and safety shoulders will help
keep traffic moving across the bridge. Upgraded
mechanical systems will provide more reliable bridge
openings.

Blanket and Quilt
Bonanza for 2005
Each year Project Linus holds a tea to thank members
for the many blankets and quilts they have created for
seriously ill children at Children’s Hospital in Seattle.
Port Ludlow women assisting in this effort include Lucile
Nilsen, a “wonder-woman quilt maker,” who has made
over 900 quilts to date, no two identical. Other Port
Ludlow “blanketeers” are Ruth Altis and Alyce Hansen.
Membership in the Project Linus Chapter has grown to
over 150 during the past year, and extends from Forks
south to Silverdale and the Hood Canal, with members
here and there in between. The Chapter has created
4,568 quilts and blankets for Children’s Hospital.
This year’s tea was held at the Gardiner Community
Center in June. Nearly 50 ladies attended, as well as
special gentlemen helpers Ben Gracz of Gardiner and
Noble Nilsen of Port Ludlow. Members brought in 263
blankets and quilts for the celebration, exchanging new
ideas, techniques, and patterns with each other.

Chief Wayne Kier’s Safety Tip:
Outdoor Burning
During July and August, all outdoor debris, land clearing
and forest practices burning will be prohibited in Jefferson
County Fire District No. 3. If fire conditions are low,
outdoor burning will open again in September.
It’s Summer When
You See Road Work
The end of June, weather permitting, is targeted as the
completion date for roadwork at Highway 104 at Highway 19. The project includes building a right-turn pocket
on Highway 19 (Beaver Valley Road), separating Highway 104 right-turn lane to Highway 19 from the westbound through lane, and extending the center acceleration
lane on Highway 104 eastbound.
Work is also underway in the Village of Port Ludlow at
Breaker Lane and the (future) Falls Terrace Boulevard.
The work involves preparatory access and water service
work for the Kitsap Bank site and the future Falls Terrace
residential/commercial project. Reportedly Kitsap Bank
has hired an architect and engineer and is proceeding with
the design of its permanent building.
Single-lane closures during evening hours will continue
on the Hood Canal Bridge, and two three-day closures are
scheduled in August. (See related article on page5).

Hearing Examiner
Considers Local Issues
by Barbara Wagner-Jauregg
By the end of July, Hearing Examiner Irv Berteig of
Seattle will render two decisions regarding the future of
Olympic Terrace II (OLY II). A public hearing was called
on Tuesday, June 7, so the Examiner could review and
receive comments on Port Ludlow Associates’ (PLA’s)
application for the subdivision. The Developer plans to
subdivide 159.33 acres into 80 single-family detached lots
with open space of approximately 126 acres.
Les Powers, a Yakima lawyer and Ludlow Bay Village
townhome owner, appealed the Jefferson County Department of Community Development (DCD) decision to
waive the State Environmental Impact Study (SEIS) on
OLY II. At issue is whether the Master Planned Resort
(MPR) Zoning Code and Development Agreement
between the Developer and the County requires PLA to
provide resort-type amenities such as a convention center,
underground parking, youth center, indoor tennis courts,
spa and swimming center. Powers contends “recreation”
is an environmental issue and does not consider open
space and wetlands recreational.
The County and PLA say the MPR Code provides a
description of permitted amenities and uses for the Resort
Complex/Community Facility (RC/CF) zone, but does not
require facilities to be built, and the Development Agreement does not require the construction of anything.
Some 50 residents attended the hearing and several made
comments on the subdivision application. A resident of
Olympic Terrace I requested PLA be required to make the
“secondary access” to Teal Lake Road open to residents
as well as Fire District vehicles during an emergency.
South Bay Community Association (SBCA) President
Bill Browne said its Board supports the project and that
SBCA members would vote on annexation of OLY II at
their Annual Meeting in July. Board candidate Rick
Rozzell said investigation did not reveal any record of the
Developer’s payment to SBCA, and that the Association
should receive compensation for annexation of the
development. A gentleman from Kala Point, calling
himself environmentally sensitive, said the percentage of
open space planned for OLY II was much more than
normally provided in a development. He also mentioned
Page 7
additional tax revenue to the County and the Developer’s
emphasis on xeriscape (quality landscaping that conserves water and protects the environment). A statement
was read from Marge Carter, representing the Trails
Committee, supporting the trail system planned by the
Developer throughout both Olympic Terrace I and II.
Berteig will first decide if Powers’ appeal has anything to
do with SEIS and then act on PLA’s application for a
subdivision. His decision should be rendered before the
end of the month.
In an earlier decision on May 31, Berteig ruled against
three owners of buoys in Inner Harbor. While no one
disputed that the County acted originally in error when
they told the owners no County permits were required,
Berteig reasoned that it was in effect a permit. His
decision notes: “There is a long line of cases that recognize that where a permit was issued in error or is found to
be invalid ‘it is void and confers no rights.’”
Comment Deadline
Moved to July 1
The comment period for the Ludlow Cove Division 2,
120-unit timeshare multi-family residential development
was extended to Friday, July 1, at 4:30 p.m. The date
change is the result of Port Ludlow Associates (PLA),
acting on behalf of Trendwest, submitting a revised
binding site plan/condominium subdivision application
to Jefferson County. The revised application reduced
the number of proposed lots from seven to four and a
variance is no longer required.
The County Department of Community Development
typically would make administration decisions on a fourlot plan. However, since a homeowners’ association with
individual memberships in the association will own the
120 units, the DCD has decided to use the hearing
examiner process. A State Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) threshold determination will also be made.
This may be the only opportunity to comment on the
environmental impacts of the proposal.
Comments should be submitted to the DCD, Development Review Division, 621 Sheridan Street in Port
Townsend. Late comments may not be considered. Visit
the DCD webpage at www.co.jefferson.wa.us/

This tropical tree will not grow in Port Ludlow, but is the
source of Neem oil, which can be extracted from the
seeds. Neem oil, plus the leaves and bark, has been used
as a medicine for 4,000 years. It has been used to treat
infertility and repel mosquitoes. Tea made from the leaves
has been used to control termites. When it is added to
stored grains or dried beans, it keeps insects out and
reduces fungus.
In animal shampoos it repels fleas and ticks; as a cattle
feed it kills internal parasites. It has been added to soap,
toothpaste, and mouthwash; it is an antiseptic, analgesic,
anti-inflammatory, antihistamine. It has been used to treat
skin disorders, ulcers, and was even found to reduce the
insulin requirements of some diabetics. There were no
side effects even when Neem was fed to laboratory rats in
very high doses, and it is considered harmless to humans,
animals, birds, beneficial insects and earthworms. It has
been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency for use on food crops. Neem extract repels most
insects, many mites and nematodes, snails, slugs, and
fungus. Best of all, pests do not evolve with a resistance
to it requiring ever-stronger doses.
A recipe for Neem-oil leaf spray: In one quart of water
mix one teaspoon Neem oil with 1/2 teaspoon plant-safe
(not ammonia based) liquid dish soap. (The soap helps to
emulsify the oil and aids in sticking to the leaves.) Also,
equal parts of water and isopropyl alcohol can be substituted for plain water. Shake this mixture frequently while
spraying. In addition to repelling insects the oil will
smother insects, so be sure to cover all of the plant’s
surfaces. In a container, the insect-controlling properties
of this recipe begin to break down after 8 hours, so you
will need to mix a fresh batch each time you spray. Also,
the oil will wash off with repeated rain or watering, but
spraying once a week is adequate in most places. There
are some precautions; any oil may cause burning to plant
tissue if applied in direct sunlight or temperatures above
85 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pure cold-pressed Neem oil can be purchased online from
NeemResource in Minnesota at its website
www.neemresource.com. It is priced at $10 for 8 ounces,
$32 for 32 ounces, or $65 a gallon.
Garden Club to Visit
Oyster Pointe Gardens
On Wednesday, July13,
the Port Ludlow Garden
Club will carpool to
Nancy Heckler’s nationally-famous Oyster
Pointe Gardens near
Poulsbo. These gardens
were featured on the
cover of the August 2004 issue of Martha Stewart Living
magazine. Nancy will be available to explain the gardens’
designs and plantings. Bring your own lunch including
beverage and dessert to enjoy in a nearby park. The lunch
ends the formal part of the Garden Club tour and some
cars may then return to the Bay Club. Names and phone
numbers for nearby nurseries will be included with the
maps and directions will be provided to each driver so
that additional stops can be made if so desired.
To register for this tour, mail your checks—$5 for members and $7 for non-members —to the Port Ludlow
Garden Club, P.O. Box 65235, Port Ludlow, WA 98365.
Fees should be received by Monday, July 11. Carpool
passengers should be prepared to pay an additional $4 per
person. If you are willing to drive, please call Sydney
Hatch at 437-9111 and let her know how many passengers
you are able to transport. It is essential that you preregister for this tour and drive to the garden with our
group, as the charge covers entrance fees.
Plan to arrive at the Bay Club by 8:45 a.m. on Wednesday, July 13, so that maps can be distributed before our
departure at 9:00 a.m.

July Hiking Events
Scores from the Bridge Deck
by Dan Darrow, Hiking Club Scribe
by Barbara Bradford, Reporter
July is a busy month for those who want to get out and
enjoy our great summer weather. There is even a repeat of
the Mount Townsend hike for those who only saw clouds
back in May. All hikes meet at the Bridge Deck at 8:00
a.m. to arrange car pools and get directions to the
trailhead.
On Mondays Port Ludlow bridge
enthusiasts gather for ACBLsanctioned bridge. The number of
tables ranges from three to seven.
On Monday, June 6, the Bridge
Deck was a full house with eight
tables assembled. Even on
Memorial Day, a total of 26 bridge players gathered to
say goodbye to Gloria Eckmann, who was a founder of
the group thirty years ago. She and husband Dean are
moving near to family in Tacoma.
Friday, July 1: Mount Townsend
A difficult 8-mile hike with 2,880-foot elevation gain, but
worth the effort for incredible views. The wildflowers
should be in outstanding bloom. Information: Sharon
Sorenson at 437-0856 or Adele Govert at 437-8090.
Friday, July 8: Mount Ellinor
This hike is only 6 miles but the 3,144-elevation gain
makes it difficult. It includes great views of the Cascades
and the interior of the Olympics on a clear day. Information: Mike Porter, 437-4101.
Friday, July 15: Green Mountain
Here’s a chance to explore the Kitsap Peninsula. This is
an easy-to-moderate hike with a 1,000-foot elevation
gain and views of the Hood Canal, Olympics, Cascades
and Seattle. There will be an opportunity for either a
shorter 6-mile up-and-back or longer 11-mile loop hike.
Information: Stan and Barrie Gustin, 437-8025.
Friday, July 29: Deer Park-Obstruction Point
A key exchange in the high country. The 1,500-foot
elevation gain classifies this 7.5-mile hike as difficult.
The reward is great views and lots of wildflowers. Bring
$$s for beverages at C’est Si Bon afterwards. Information: Sharon Sorenson, 437-0856; Carole Porter, 4374101; Bill Lane, 437-2044; or Jack Riggen, 437-0370.
There will be a shorter version with start and return to
Obstruction Point. Information: Herman Schweizer, 4372138.
Every Wednesday: Timberton Loop
Walk the five-mile Timberton Loop. Enjoy views of the
Olympic Mountains and Mount Rainier. Meet at the
trailhead on Timberton Road at 9:00 a.m. For information, contact Doris Monti at 437-0716.

First Wednesday
Lunch on Summer Break
The First Wednesday Luncheon Committee would like to
thank all of you who have helped make the luncheon
program such a success this past year. With your support,
we collected $1,278 in cash, which through ingenious use
of sales, bulk food buys, etc. we were able to translate
into $2,733 (and 2,801 pounds of food) for the Tri-Area
Food Bank. In addition, we contributed $360 in personal
checks to the Food Bank. We think this year has been a
stellar success.
We also recognize that we could never have produced
such a response without the generous contributions from
the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•

Drawing Classes with
Judy Courtwright
Drawing is scheduled for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, July 25, 26, and 28, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the
Bay Club. To register, drop checks off at the Bay Club
desk or send to Judy Courtwright, P. O. Box 765, Port
Hadlock, 98339. Fees are $45 for Bay Club members and
$50 for non-members.
“Frequently, I am asked if drawing has to come first
before painting or sculpting,” says Courtwright. “My
answer is no. If a student really doesn’t wish to begin
with drawing, it is better to wait until he or she is ready
for it. And ready for it they will be. No matter where we
begin as artists, at some point the desire to draw will
emerge. And it is a powerful desire, almost addictive, that
impels the student to learn to see better, so he or she can
paint or sculpt better.”
She continues, “That is the key to drawing. We all can
hold the pencil to make marks on a page. It is the seeing
accurately, accepting what we see instead of what we
think we know, and then a little bit of something I call the
.
language of the line that we study in drawing.”
Weather permitting, the class will work outside some of
the time. Courtwright adds, “It is a wonderful experience
to see more clearly into nature and to learn to express
what we see using lights and darks. What the simple
pencil can do is really quite wonderful.”
Call 360-379-4037 for any additional information.

A double treat is in store for those who attend the Friday,
July 1, opening reception for the Artists of the Month
from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the American Marine Bank and
the Artists’ League Gallery. Two outstanding artists,
Janice Gruber and Joyce Jordan, will be featured during
the month.
Gruber grew up in the Northwest and finds that florals are
her favorite subject matter, which she paints in her studio
during the winter months. She then sets up during the
summer to paint plein air on silk, canvas, paper, board,
using dyes, oil, watercolor or waxes. She has received a
variety of honors and awards over the years.
Jordan says, “I paint to express the feelings of my experience through space, color, line and form. I paint to
tranport the viewer to another place and time.” She has
drawn and sketched since childhood and her work leans
toward realism. She paints mainly in watercolors, but also
enjoys working with pen and ink, colored pencil and
pastels.
Stop by the bank and the League Gallery next door during
July to view the work of these two featured artists.

Cardiac and Stroke Care
Edited by Barbara Wagner-Jauregg
Availability of cardiac and stroke care for Port Ludlow
residents weighs heavily on the minds of many. At least
that was the feeling expressed when more than 150
community residents gathered to hear a talk in late May
by Scott Bosch, Harrison Hospital’s new President and
Chief Executive Officer. Peggy Schafran, who had firsthand experience when her late husband was airlifted to a
Seattle hospital with chest pain, was instrumental in
arranging the Bay Club program.
Bosch told the audience that Harrison Hospital has Level
III Trauma Centers in Silverdale as well as Bremerton and
Port Orchard, where board-certified emergency-room
doctors can handle everything but multiple car crash
injuries, reattaching limbs and neurosurgery. The stroke
protocol in these emergency rooms is among the state’s
best, said Bosch. He explained Harrison’s cardiologists
were certified for open-heart surgery in 2002, and that 200
open-heart surgeries were performed in the past 18 months,
with a mortality rate of one-third the state average.
Port Ludlow residents described two priorities for
healthcare—a specialty heart clinic on the Olympic
Peninsula staffed by Harrison cardiologists. They also
wanted a choice of hospitals in an emergency so they
didn’t end up in Seattle, far from families and primary
doctors. Bosch explained a heart clinic isn’t going to
happen anytime soon, citing difficulties in recruiting
cardiologists to Washington, where malpractice insurance
is high and Medicare reimbursements are lower in rural
areas.
As far as choice of hospitals in an emergency, residents
wondered why they were airlifted to Harborview and not
to Harrison. Harborview Medical Center is only 11
minutes by helicopter; Harrison in East Bremerton is
about a 20- to 30-minute ambulance drive from Port
Ludlow. “Time is a factor in heart attacks and stroke,”
said Port Ludlow Fire and Rescue Chief Wayne Kier.
Harrison doesn’t have helicopter service, which is expensive without hospital subsidy, said Bosch. The Puget
Sound helicopter services are affiliated with Seattle
hospitals.

Emergency Care and
Hospital Selection in Port Ludlow
by Bill Hansen
Questions arose at a recent presentation by Scott Bosch,
President and Chief Operating officer of Harrison Hospital, which require further explanation. (See related story
this page). The Washington State Department of Health
has assigned each ambulance provider to a specific “base
hospital” throughout the state. In Jefferson County, Port
Ludlow Fire and Rescue is assigned to Jefferson General.
If the patient chooses, he or she will be transported to one
of three other hospitals in the larger service area. These
are Harrison, Naval Hospital Bremerton and Olympic
Memorial in Port Angeles.
When a paramedic arrives at a home and completes the
initial assessment, the base hospital is called and the
emergency-room doctor on duty reviews the signs and
symptoms. That doctor determines which hospital can
provide needed services and has space available to
accommodate the patient. The patient is normally transported to the facility of his or her choice from the above
list of four hospitals. If he or she is unable to speak to the
paramedic, an authorized adult may speak on behalf of
the patient. Helicopter ambulance service is reserved for
the most serious cases. Air Lift Northwest is currently
running at 90-plus percent capacity, which limits its
availability.
The reality for Port Ludlow residents is that we are some
distance from any facility, understandably a concern for
everyone. Fortunately, the emergency services we have
are excellent. Port Ludlow Fire and Rescue has topquality staff and the service reflects their commitment and
professionalism.
Readers’ Theater
Attention: All would be Thespians! Readers’ Theater,

This is for the bold and the timid alike. We sight-read
plays from melodramas to Shakespeare and welcome all
interpretations. Easy way to satisfy the “ham” in you—
and you may even be “discovered.”
Readers’ Theater meets the second Wednesday of every
month. Mark your calendar! For more information, call

Your Inside Story
CEA’s Out to Lunch Bunch for July
On Wednesday, July 13, a nonprofit health-screening
clinic will be conducted at the Bay Club. Using ultrasound imaging, color-flow Doppler and other tests,
HealthScreens will check your risk for cancer, heart
disease, blockages, diabetes and more. It’s preventive
maintenance for your body. Stroke, aneurysm, heart,
circulation, kidney, liver, gallbladder, thyroid, osteoporosis and blood tests will be available by appointment.
On Tuesday, July 19, at 12:30 p.m., we will have lunch at
the Willcox House, a 1930s estate, which has been
described as a grand mansion in a paradise setting.
Typically they serve meals only to their guests, but have
agreed to do a lunch just for us. The cost is $21 in advance. Since we are limited to 24 people, please make
your reservation, leave your check, and pick up directions, at the CEA Ticket Table at the Bay Club on
Wednesday or Friday between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
The deadline for reservations is Friday, July 15. When
the 24 reservations are filled we will make a list of
alternates, but not accept any money. If you have a
reservation, and are unable to go, please contact Eline
Lybarger immediately at 437-7701.
HealthScreens offers these tests performed by nationally
licensed technologists at a fraction of the cost. They are
the same tests doctors order on patients exhibiting
symptoms, but they are not part of a routine physical.
Written results are immediate and detailed.
Don’t rely on symptoms to gauge your health. The
American Stroke Association reports most victims have
no symptoms. The Wall Street Journal in September 24,
2004, reported “Two Simple Tests Can Prevent Stroke,
But Few Get Them,” referring to ultrasound of the carotid
arteries, and the Ankle-Brachial Index. HealthScreens
offers both of these tests. The American Cancer Society
says many cancers are preventable through early detection. Be proactive, and you can prevent serious illness and
the high cost of treatment.
The complete 10-test screening is $240. Most tests are
$35 each. For more information, visit
www.healthscreens.net or call 1-877-854-4735 toll-free.
Ho, Ho, Ho!
by Maureen Poole
In this private, romantic getaway we will be treated to a
lunch of an open-faced turkey and provolone croissant
napped with béchamel sauce, a side salad of mixed greens
and vegetables with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing, and
coffee or tea. The chef will select one of her specialty
desserts for us.
In August the Out to Lunch Bunch will head to Seattle
for a dim sum lunch at the House of Hong.
Beginning Computer Classes
Registration is open for the Beginning Computer classes
at the Bay Club, sponsored by the Port Ludlow Computer
Club. Classes begin on Wednesday, September 14, and
continue for four consecutive
Wednesdays, September 21
and 28, October 5 and 12,
from 2:00 to 4:30 p.m.
What is the Voice staff thinking? There must be visions of
more then sugarplums dancing in their heads, if they are
thinking holidays in July. Well, we are indeed thinking
holidays, and holiday lights, and a map to all the welldressed holiday houses, and a competition, and of course,
prizes. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa, and he will be
touring Port Ludlow looking for lighted and decorated
homes. So if you are inclined to decorate, or inclined to
tour, watch this space for us to rip the wrapping off our
“drive yourself” holiday tour competition.
PLCC membership is not a
requirement. This class is
suitable for beginners, for
people contemplating a
computer purchase and generally for people who wish to
understand or brush up on the fundamentals of Windows95/98/Me/Xp, e-mail, letter writing and Internet
browsing.
We haven’t forgotten boat owners. If you are making
plans, I’ll want to know. In September we’ll start our
list, and in December we’ll publish a map. Anyone
wishing to assist in this endeavor is encouraged to call
me at 437-2165.
The fee is $30 and includes an easy-to-use text. Over 600
of your neighbors have already attended this popular
course and it fills very rapidly. If you have interest or
wish to register, please call Bernie Kestler at 437-5102
A.S.A.P. for all the details.

A Resident’s View
There is a village by the sea,
a place that means the world to me.
Its shores are light and graying sand
the work of the seas hard-grinding hand.
And in the village a church there stands
where one can learn of God’s commands.
Tall firs and cedars stand watch near by.
Their leafy boughs lift to the sky.
My friends are here
and they all know
there is no finer place—Port Ludlow.

Port Ludlow Village Council
Workshop Highlights
by Barbara Tipton, Contributing Editor
The June Workshop meeting of the Port Ludlow Village
Council (PLVC) was held at the Bay Club on Thursday,
June 2.
Council Treasurer Elizabeth Van Zonneveld reported the
balance for the PLVC was $15,116 and the Trails
Committee’s balance was $4,258 as of June 2.
Council member Larry Nobles delivered the Community
Development Committee (CDC) report.
• The Jefferson County Department of Community
Development (DCD) has received a report from the
Hearing Examiner upholding the County’s decision to
revoke permits for three mooring buoys in Inner
Harbor. According to Nobles, “[DCD Director] Al Scalf
is sure that this will end up with the Appellate Hearing
Examiner and eventually in the court.”
• The 80-lot Olympic Terrace II development, according
to DCD, will not have a significant environmental
impact if the Developer follows certain guidelines
regarding setbacks of the residences from streams and
wetlands. Yakima attorney Les Powers, a Ludlow Bay
Village townhome owner, has appealed the County’s
determination of non-significance. A hearing before the
Hearing Examiner was scheduled for Tuesday, June 7,
at the Jefferson County courthouse.
• Trendwest has submitted a set of model Covenants,
Codes and Restrictions (CC&Rs) to the PLVC CDC.
The Committee has identified 14 provisions that need
to be added to ensure compliance with the Ludlow
Maintenance Commission and South Bay Community
Association covenants. Resolution of this issue will
precede the Council’s decision to support the project.
The Committee sent a letter to Wayne Helm, Due
Diligence Manager, requesting Trendwest to maintain
their new trails to the same standards as existing Port
Ludlow trails.
• The Ludlow Bay Village project is in limbo until Port
Ludlow Associates (PLA) selects one of five alternatives described in the final Environmental Impact
Port Ludlow Village Council

Ludlow Bay Village Resort Committee co-chair
Elizabeth Van Zonneveld indicated that the Committee
would meet to discuss the Developer’s chosen alternative once it is known.
• A rezone has been requested for the northwest corner
of Oak Bay and Paradise Bay Roads to allow commercial buildings to be constructed on the site.
Karl Barden delivered the Emergency Preparedness
report. He attended a meeting in Port Townsend to
discuss emergency management. Representatives from
local and state agencies worked on a scenario in which
people are setting off fireworks and hosting parties in
backyards and beaches on a dry summer day in July 2005
and a fire begins. The officials were asked to consider
that the bridge might be closed and the tide might be low
preventing regular departures of the Port Townsend ferry.
In addition, the area has many dead-end roads, and cars
are clogging the highways. Many people will be visiting
the area for the holiday weekend.
Barbara Bradford reported that 28 vendors, “more than
we’ve ever had”, sold their wares on opening day of the
Friday Market. She is also coordinating the Port Ludlow
Port Ludlow Voice
Days festival planned for Saturday and Sunday,
October 1 and 2. She would like to seek sponsors, bring
in musicians and hold a golf tournament. “I am hoping
this event will draw us together as a community,” says
Bradford.
Marge Carter delivered the Trails and Natural Resources
Committee report (see related story on this page).
Fire Commissioner David Wheeler reported that the
selection process for an assistant chief is almost complete. “I am impressed with the talented individuals who
have applied for the position” noted Wheeler.
A motion passed calling for Board President Dwayne
Wilcox to appoint a Committee to analyze the PLVC
bylaws to determine the criteria for serving on the Village
Council as a voting member.
The next Workshop Meeting is scheduled for 9:00 am on
Thursday, July 7, at the Beach Club.
Trail Topics
by Marge Carter, Trails Committee Co-Chair
Spring Cleanup. Each spring we are
faced with the task of sweeping,
clipping, mowing, weed whacking,
cutting back overgrowth, and generally
sprucing up Port Ludlow’s trails for
the warm weather walking/running
season. This year we have been faced
with an unusually difficult situation—a period of accelerated growth of everything, combined with a number of
days that were too wet to cut it all down. As a consequence, all of our trails have become overgrown and all
are screaming for attention at once. The Trail Stewards
have been working all year to keep things trimmed back
as much as possible, but none of them can handle the
work we were suddenly faced with around the first of
June.
By the time you read this, we hope that our volunteers or
our contractors have reached every trail. If we have not
yet managed to clean up your favorite, please continue to
be patient. We’ll get there!
Don’t Have a Copy Yet? If somehow you have not yet
purchased a copy or two of the revised “Nature of Port
Ludlow” brochure, they will be on sale at the Friday
Market. Well-known artist, wildlife expert, and environmentalist Larry Eifert produced the brochure, which is
filled with colorful drawings and interesting facts about
the birds, animals, marine life, and vegetation that we see
Page 18
and hear all around us.
You’ll find us under the canopy in the middle of the
market area. In addition to the brochures for sale at $2
each, we’ll have some free handouts about FireWise
landscaping, local trails, noxious weeds, and other items
of interest.
Added Value. Here’s a little item spotted recently on the
Olympic Discovery Trail website:
• A National Park Service study of the economic impact
of regional trail systems showed increased property
values near these trails in the range of 5 to 32 percent.
• A Boulder, Colorado, study showed a $4 to $10 de-
crease in property value for each foot of distance from
the Boulder Greenway Trail system.
• A study of the Burke Gilman Trail in Seattle showed
that property near the Burke Gilman sold for an average of 6 percent more than similar properties not
located near the trail.
• Lots in the Kaufman Short Plat located adjacent to the
Olympic Discovery Trail increased in value by an
average of 15 percent since the trail was constructed.
Never Say Never
by Vivian Hayter
In a recent Voice article, a contributing author advised,
“never pay off your mortgage.” I would like to express a
dissenting opinion.
Shortly after moving to Port Ludlow, when the interest
rate on our mortgage was well over 8 percent and the
interest rate on our Ginny Mae’s was considerably less
than 8 percent, my husband sold the Ginny Mae’s and
paid off our mortgage.
For me it was the best financial decision he ever made.
Instead of making a high mortgage payment every month,
we had more of our income to spend on upgrading our
home, traveling, and investing.
When I became a widow and sold our home, I received
the full amount of the sale, rather than turning over the
lion’s share to a mortgage company. That money has been
reinvested in real estate and stocks, and I give thanks
every month that I don’t have to come up with a large
mortgage payment.

Propose
Beach Club Rebuild Financing
q
by Carol Shamhart
Since January 2005, the Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC) Rebuild Finance Committee has studied
various ways to finance the much-needed Beach Club
remodel. A total of 19 “ideas” for raising money to
support the remodel have been discussed at length as
possible options. One of the ideas having the potential of
raising significant money is selling certain reserve
property owned by the LMC. This would allow immediate cash flow into LMC to support the remodel and
minimize the direct impact to LMC members for special
assessments to support the remodel.
During this investigative process, LMC members Lanny
and Terri Ross met with LMC President Bruce Schmitz
and Trustee John Van Zonneveld, to offer their assistance
with the remodel project. They discussed the need to raise
at least $1 million to do a major expansion, remodeling
and finishing the “New Beach Club.”
After discussion, the Rosses offered a proposal to assist in
the financing of the Beach Club that is essentially as
follows: Lanny and Terri Ross would purchase certain
LMC-owned reserve lots (number not yet confirmed),
based on a price to be determined by two independent
professional appraisals. The Rosses would pay the price
of the reserve lots in cash with the net balance, up to $1
million, financed by the Rosses in a manner the LMC is
capable of supporting financially. As they stated, “The
terms will not be onerous as the intent is for this to be a
community project, not a business venture.” Lanny and
Terry emphasized they had no plans to develop any of the
reserve lots they might purchase.
As with all major issues, LMC members will have the
final say. However, this generous offer by Lanny and
Terri Ross certainly opens new doors for a Beach Club
remodel with less financial impact on its members.
Yard Waste Wrap-Up
by Cindy Orchanian
A thank you to Dick Durand, Peggy Manspeaker, Bryan
Diehl, Bill and Carol Shamhart, and John Orchanian, the
six lot owners who showed up and helped with the yard
waste pick up on Saturday, June 4. It was a rainy morning, but all persevered to make multiple trips around
North Bay for pick up and delivery to the Beach Club
upper parking lot to drop off the yard waste. Also thanks
to Madelyn Curll for the use of her pickup truck.
Here’s a big thank you to Carl H. Johnson and Son for
making a dump truck available to transport the yard
waste to the dump on Wednesday, June 8. We also thank
Bill West, the driver and owner of Dockside Mobile
Marine, who along with John Orchanian spent six hours
in the rain loading the yard waste and making two trips to
the dump.

North Bay Clean Sweep in July
by Jerry Purdy
Summer has arrived and the time has come to once again
send out an alert to the loyal North Bay Clean Sweep
Committee that the summer sweep will be in progress
during the week of Monday–Sunday, July 11–17.
Clean Sweep is a dedicated North Bay Lot Owners
Association (NBLOA) Committee that never holds
meetings, yet gets the work done. Thirty family groups
are involved, each one taking responsibility for a few
blocks of the neighborhood. Members are reminded by email or through the Voice prior to the first week in
January, April, July and October that another sweep is
due.
If you would like to lend a hand, please call Jerry or
Diane Purdy at 437-1262. We like to maintain a substitute
and waiting list. Occasionally Committee members are
gone for an extended period of time and would like
someone to take a route temporarily. We encourage all
community members to take responsibility for trash seen
on our roadways in between scheduled sweeps.
School-age residents are encouraged to get involved in
their community by picking up along the streets in their
neighborhoods.

North Bay Art Group
by Francy Gronewald
A sincere thanks to the North Bay Art Group for displaying their beautiful artwork during the past year in the
Gallery at the Beach Club. This artwork has provided a
pleasant and diversified display of local artists’ work for
the enjoyment of the Beach Club membership.
Due to repair to the deck in front of the Gallery, no
artwork will be displayed during July. Hopefully, we will
be able to present a new show in August.
All Beach Club members are invited to attend the artist’s
reception when we are able to resume our presentations.
This is a very positive and friendly gathering of art patrons.
There will be posters announcing the date and time of the
reception.

Setting the Record Straight
by Barbara Wagner-Jauregg, Managing Editor
Pat Keeling, receptionist at Port Ludlow Associates
(PLA), long-time resident June Sinclair, and Warren Berg
have provided us with additional information on the
dwarf rhododendron ‘Golfer’ mentioned in the June Voice
cover story.
Berg developed (made the cross), R. yakushimanum x R.
pseudochrysanthum of ‘Golfer.’ He gave the plant as a
very small seedling to James (Jim) Francis Caperci, Pat
Keeling’s father. Sometime later, Caperci called Berg and
said it was the best hybrid in his garden. He wondered if
it would be okay if he named it after Berg’s wife Pat,
calling it ‘Golfer.’ The Bergs agreed.
According to Sinclair, Berg was the hybridizer, while
Caperci registered and named the plant. Some rhododendron listings with ‘Golfer’ attribute it to Berg - Caperci.
In addition, Pat Berg, who was Port Ludlow Club champion for many years, should not be confused with Patty
Berg, one of the leading lady golfers during the ’50s and
’60s, who won 15 major tournaments.

South Bay Community
Association (SBCA) Update
by Bill Browne, President, South Bay Community Association
June Board Reports and Commentary
Architectural Review Committee (ARC): The ARC
reported Village ARCs have approved five new permits. A
request concerning the placement of a propane tank is
still unresolved. Litigation against the owner of a new
construction site in Edgewood Village has been filed.
Previously the owner had been asked to stop construction
activities until the CC&R requirements for new construction had been satisfied. The matter has been handed over
to the SBCA Board of Directors and appropriate legal
authorities.
Annexation of Olympic Terrace, Division 2 (OLY 2):
Negotiations with Port Ludlow Associates (PLA) concerning the annexation of OLY 2 are underway. PLA said
in a letter that they are very willing to have this property
annexed by SBCA if the Association finds it advantageous. Given that Pope and Talbot (now PLA) gave the
Bay Club and property (valued at $2,500,000) to SBCA in
2001 to serve the 800 home sites planned for the SBCA
footprint, PLA will not offer additional payments to
SBCA. They feel the $57,600 in additional annual dues
from the 80 OLY 2 homes should provide adequate
funding for the SBCA. The Board passed a resolution to
recommend the annexation of OLY 2 without the requirement of up-front money from PLA. The resolution is
being taken to the members for a vote.
Harassment Policy: The Board adopted a harassment
policy that covers conduct between employees, employees and a member, and members when the individuals are
on the Club property and/or acting in behalf of the Club’s
interests.
SBCA Board Meeting
Friday, July 2, 9:00 a.m.
All SBCA members are welcome. s
South Bay Community Association
Annual Meeting Announcement

decisions that will be made in the coming year.
Ad Hoc Tennis Committee: After a presentation
by Clint Webb on behalf of all tennis players in the South
Bay, the Board formed a Committee to study alternatives
for improving the tennis courts. This Committee responded quickly as readers can see in an article by Webb.

CC&R Enforceability
and Reformation
by Bill Browne, President, South Bay Community Association
The material below is from Richard Shattuck, who is
SBCA legal council. In addition, I have added my own
thoughts on this issue at the end.
First, Shattuck says:
“There is unanimity in legal opinion that the ‘better view’
is that the CC&Rs are enforceable. Legal opinions by
three different attorneys have been issued to this effect.
To the extent the SBCA wants a judge to confirm this
‘enforceability’ legal opinion, there are at least two ways
this goal can be accomplished. One approach is the
reformation lawsuit outlined by Mr. Bill Broughton. In
his initial letter, this is how Mr. Broughton described the
reformation lawsuit: ‘The procedural difficulty presented
here is that joinder is required for all property owners.’ As
proposed, the reformation lawsuit approach requires all
property owners within the SBCA to be made a party to
the litigation. Presumably, those property owners who do
not voluntarily submit to be part of the litigation would be
compelled to join the lawsuit by being served with legal
process. The potential result is a lawsuit in which every
property owner in the SBCA will either be a plaintiff or a
defendant. Managing such a lawsuit in the face of absentee owners, multiple owners, and purchases and sales of
property, and designing a mechanism for obtaining the
approval of willing owners (education, outreach and
physically signing an approval document), is a Herculean
undertaking.
The alternative is to ask the Court for a confirming
judicial opinion in an individual case involving the SBCA
and an owner who is in violation of the CC&Rs. The
SBCA has authorized this approach to seeking judicial
confirmation of the enforceability of the CC&Rs. The
SBCA has brought a legal action, asking the Jefferson
County Superior Court to declare that the CC&Rs are
enforceable and that the SBCA has the right to enforce
them. This approach to obtaining confirmation of enforceability does not require every property owner to be joined
to a community-wide lawsuit. It does, however, provide a
forum for the Court to take a look at this matter and
provide the supplemental assurances of enforceability that
some within the SBCA community are seeking.
Very truly yours,
Richard Shattuck”
Page 23
Second, The Opinion of
Bill Browne, SBCA President:
It is my belief that the CC&Rs are enforceable and that
we do not need reformation. Enforceability has been
verified through the better view of three lawyers (William
Broughton, Shannon Sperry and Richard Shattuck)
indicating that the two CC&R documents should be read
together and therefore are enforceable. The Reformation
Candidate’s request for reformation is an expensive
(greater than $20,000) and unnecessary action.
The decision rendered by a Court in a legal action against
a violator should provide added confirmation of CC&R
enforceability without dragging every SBCA member into
a lawsuit.
SBCA Board

All South Bay Tennis Players
and May-Be Tennis Players
by Clint Webb
The South Bay tennis courts at the Golf Course are
playable again! A group of tennis enthusiasts, working
with the South Bay Community Association (SBCA)
Board of Directors, caused many tennis players, staff and
members of the SBCA and other volunteers to join in a
work party on June 10. The tennis courts were cleaned
and power washed, heavy undergrowth around the
perimeter was cleared, and drainage channels were dug
out. Also, grass overtaking the parking lot was cut. Port
Ludlow Associates (PLA) workers are adding gravel to
the parking lot and will be trimming limbs that overhang
the courts.
Keeping the facility in good playing condition will
require some ongoing activity, so please consider lending
a hand as future work parties are announced.
This is just one more example of why it is so great to live
in Port Ludlow—people willing to work together to help
solve problems. Keeping all of our amenities in good
shape is important not only for our enjoyment but for our
property values as well.
The courts are open to all, so feel free to use them. If
you’ve played in the past, and want to get back to the
game, or if you’ve never played but would like to give it a
try, call Clint Webb at 437-4119, e-mail
[email protected]. If sufficient interest exists, we
will see about setting up some beginning lessons, at no
charge, of course.
The Port Ludlow Racquet Club, consisting of players in
the community interested in competitive tennis, or
organized tennis, is always looking for new members. It is
open to all skill levels. Dues are only $10 per year, and
it’s lots of fun. Call Jack Riggen at 437-0370 if interested.

Working Image Clothing
Drive Outstanding!
by Robert and Arlene Burns
A collection of women’s clothing, shoes, jewelry, and
toiletries, in support of the Working Image Program (WI),
was conducted in early June at the Bay Club. The results
were outstanding. The 1,274, items collected will assist a
minimum of 100 WI clients, according to Paulette
Condry, Program Manager of WI.
Donations were very attractive, extremely serviceable,
with a number of new items or otherwise well-maintained, and appropriate to the workplace. The significant
amount of jewelry that was donated was in great need as
the WI inventory was low. Those few items that are not
appropriate to the workplace will be forwarded to consignment stores to generate funds for WI to purchase
needed items. Overall, the donations will be a significant
benefit in assisting the women to secure new or better
jobs.
As noted last month in the Voice, WI is a non-profit
organization, operating under the auspices of the Olympic
Community Action Program, which assists unemployed
and underemployed women with job interview and
retention counseling, wardrobe consultation, and interview and job-appropriate clothing, all at no charge to the
clients.
The women of Port Ludlow are to be commended for
their very generous donations and should take pride in
having supported this critical community project. Mike
Morgan, Linda Colasurdo, and all other Bay Club staff
deserve our sincere appreciation for assisting with the
activity. In addition, thanks are due to Beverly
Rothenborg, WI Steering Committee member, and Robert
Azen for storing large bags of items in his garage.
Another donation drive is being considered for some time
next year. In the interim, donations may be made directly
to the WI at the Olympic Community Action Program
(OLYCAP) at 731 West Park Avenue in Port Townsend.
The office is located in the industrial park behind the
Goodwill Store. For more information, call 385-2571.

MOG: An Afternoon
of Cool and Classic Jazz
ask that you respect Washington State Liquor Regulations
and leave your own alcohol at home.
by Barbara Wagner-Jauregg, Arts Council Board Member
The Black Swan Classic Jazz Band was established in
early 1989 as a hot dance band dedicated to the preservation and performance of Dixieland, old-time gospel, early
jazz styles, and ragtime. The seven-person instrumental
band loves the hot jazz music of the 1920s and features
the sizzling talents of vocalist Marilyn Keller. Black Swan
delights audiences with authentic renditions of the music
of early jazz figures such as Jelly Roll Morton, Louis
Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Hoagy Carmichael, Fats
Waller, Turk Murphy, Scott Joplin and others. They have
performed at numerous festivals and community events in
the western and mid-west states and British Columbia.

have lots of time to enjoy the picnic food. Our tables will
be reserved for us in the shade of the trees by the babbling brook. There are picnic tables, but you may also
want to bring your folding chair or blanket for extra
seating. Plan to bring your favorite picnic foods—enough
to share! Bring your beverages, too, or purchase them on
the grounds. We will be able to enjoy a group-rate ticket
price for the concert of $18 (regularly $22 and $24). This
is not limited to residents only, so invite your friends and
family.
Sign up at the Bay Club. Please leave or mail your
check at 20A North Keel Way made out to Bev
Rothenborg for the number of tickets you wish to purchase. I will distribute the tickets on the day of the
performance or in advance if that is your preference.
For further information, either call me at 437-0505 or

perspectives on the landscape. This exhibit will include
landscape and still settings in acrylic and pastels. Brock
uses gesso and pumice grounds followed by layers of

Summer at The Resort
at Port Ludlow
by Rebecca Ammeter, General Manager, The Resort at Port Ludlow
It’s that time of the year again. We are looking forward to
the gorgeous weather and all there is to enjoy in our
beautiful surrounding areas. We would like to help you
treasure these days of summer by offering some memorable things to see and do right here in our community.
Here is our Top Ten List:
1. Play 18 holes of golf early in the morning or later in
the day at the Port Ludlow Golf Course (enjoy the
longer days while you can).
A Committee, chaired by Port Ludlow Chamber staff
member and Gateway Visitor Center Administrator Jutta
Gebauer will handle promotion and advertising, a Chamber strong suit. Chamber Board members Linda Germeau
and Dana Petrick will also serve on this Committee.
2. Have lunch with a friend at The Harbormaster—be
sure to sit outside on the Sun Deck and enjoy the sun.
Understanding that the summer season is upon us, we
believe this is the opportune time for Chamber members
and all local businesses to participate in promoting our
community—and showcasing the goods and services we
provide. October is closer than we think. Starting now to
plan and promote will help ensure a well-attended event.
4. Come to The Fireside and sip a glass of wine or try
something fun from our Martini and Specialty
Cocktail Menu, while enjoying the views from the
veranda.
The Chamber is proud to partner with the Port Ludlow
Village Council (PLVC) to help make Port Ludlow Days
a perennial favorite on the East Jefferson County events
schedule. For more information on how you can participate, please contact Jutta by phone at 437-0120, or e-mail
[email protected].

Pointe Interiors, in the Village Center. We will have
appetizers, wine and beverages, and a fun evening of
summer socializing. Please bring your work cohorts and
your friends. We will update you on Port Ludlow Days
and the bridge closure dates.
Hope to see you there on July 6, the first Wednesday of
the month, at 5:00 p.m. at Dana Pointe Interiors.
3. Take a leisurely stroll through the Marina and stay for
dinner at The Fireside. Take advantage of the Early
Dining Specials served from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.,
Sunday through Thursday.
5. Meet that someone special for a surprise getaway stay
at The Inn…surprise is a key in keeping the romance
alive!
6. Take out a kayak and see Port Ludlow from an
entirely different perspective.
7. Enjoy Happy Hour with special friends at The
Harbormaster—how long has it been since you’ve
gotten together? Monday through Friday, 3:30–
6:30 p.m.
8. Hike along the trail to Ludlow Falls and take in the
beauty of our natural surroundings. Pack a picnic
lunch and find a scenic spot that will be your special
place.
9. Sleep in and then meet those special friends at The
Harbormaster for Sunday Breakfast, while watching
sailboats go by and stretching out the precious
moments of summer.
10. Take Saturday night off from cooking and enjoy
prime rib at The Harbormaster while listening to soft
jazz classics from our favorite local musicians, The

Mariners’ News
Dock Talk
by Kori I. Ward, Port Ludlow Marina Manager
Marina Staff
With the busy season already upon us, we have started to
ramp up our staffing levels. I would like to take this
opportunity to introduce our staff: Jackie Thompson, Nick
Korst, Jane Richardson, Bob Gebo, and Wendy Lindsay,
who will be joining our Senior Staff members Jerry
Severn, Linda Severn, and Tom Modzelewski,
They are all here to serve you and make your experience
at Port Ludlow Marina as pleasurable as possible. It will
take the summer staff some time to really get “up to
speed” and begin to feel comfortable with the many
duties required of them, so your understanding and
patience is appreciated. Please join me in welcoming
them to the Marina. Their efforts will truly be appreciated
as we look forward to another beautiful and busy summer
season.
If you haven’t visited the Marina yet this season, I really
recommend it. The summer plantings are in full bloom
and the facilities are full of life. I would like to give a
special thank you to Joan Swanson, who worked diligently planting the facilities this spring. They look
spectacular!
Crab Derby 2005
We are planning a Crab Derby for the months of July and
August. A chart will be displayed in the Marina office
throughout the entire crabbing season! Bring in your live
crab, we will measure and mark your name on the chart.
On the last day of crabbing, the member boasting the
largest crab will win a dinner for two at the Harbormaster
Seafood and Spirits! They cut our season short this year,
so lets make the best of what we got!
Kayaking
If your grandchildren will be visiting this summer, I
would like to invite you to the Marina to enjoy our single
and double kayaks. Show your grandchildren the magic of
Port Ludlow on beautiful Ludlow Bay. Help them explore
the beauty and scenery from a silent kayak. Witness upclose why so many seals, otters, eagles, great blue heron,
and many other creatures make this their home. Cruise the
pristine shoreline and enjoy seals and birdlife in a pro-
tected bay with no boat traffic over 5 MPH. Our stable
one- and two-person Wilderness Systems kayaks are
extremely seaworthy, comfortable and very easy to paddle.
You begin your trip with a brief orientation; safety procedures and simple instruction on paddling will give you
confidence for a fun, relaxed trip.
After a day of boating, meet your friends and fellow

Coast
Classes Take Break
The “How to” boating series, sponsored by Flotilla 41 of
the U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary (USCG), takes a hiatus
during the months of July and August. The series continues with a class on weather on Wednesday, September 7.
The USCG’s Advanced Coastal Navigation Course, Part I,
continues throughout the summer with instruction on dead
reckoning on Monday, July 11, 7:00–10:00 p.m., at the
Fire Station. Cost is $10. In addition, participants pay a
one-time charge of $35 for course materials covering the
entire series.
For further information on all of USCG training opportunities, check the Flotilla’s website at www.uscgaux.org/

Coast Guard Auxiliary
by John Reseck, Contributing Editor
“We die in training so you can live in
battle.” That is the Coast Guard
Auxiliary (CGAUX) motto for the
Seahawk exercises that will be held in
August around Indian Island. What is
“Seahawk?” It is an “all service” exercise including Navy,
Army, Marine, Special Forces, Air Force and a few other
agencies that we won’t mention. The purpose of the
Port Ludlow Voice
Page 32
exercise is to train the reserves on what to expect when
they become deployed.
American Marine
Bank Names Manager
The trainers create scenarios that include everything from
suicide attacks to multi units on-the-water attacks. The
CGAUX furnishes the boats and manpower to create the
“bad” people. We sneak in close and gather intelligence
on their positions, and attack them in the middle of the
night.
Long time employee Paula
Zimmerman has been appointed manager of the American Marine Bank (AMB)
branch in Port Ludlow. Having
been with the bank over fifteen
years, Zimmerman has served
as a customer service associate,
teller, and Internal Revenue
Paula Zimmerman is new AMB
Service (IRS) specialist.

Additionally, she managed a
mediation program at the Dispute Resolution Center of
Kitsap County for five years.
It is a lot of fun but in reality it is deadly serious. We do
in fact “die in training so they have a better chance to
survive in battle.” We give them every ration of crap we
can think of. We “mouth off” to them, call them bad
names, don’t do what they tell us to, and make their lives
as difficult as possible. They in turn must respond in a
manner that is firm, polite, and according to their “Rules
of Engagement” for the area they are protecting.
There are a lot of guns fired (all blanks, of course, or we
really would die), but everything must be within the rules.
When we push them into the “kill zone,” they kill us.
Better us than them. They learn how to control their
temper no matter how badly we insult them, “Sticks and
stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt
me.”
They learn to be sure where their “security zones” are so
they won’t fire on someone who is still outside of it and
cause an international incident. As auxiliarists we feel
good about not only helping these young warriors protect
themselves in battle, but also protecting our grandchildren
at home.
The CGAUX is always looking for people that want to be
“part of the solution.” If that is you, call Sharon Reseck at
360 437-0351 or e-mail her at [email protected].

Do You have Used
Inkjet/Toner Cartridges?
by Mark Garcia
Go to the Bay Club to get your mailers to return your
used ink jet cartridges. You will find these bags in a
display next to the box for used glasses. As you enter the
Club please look towards the right corner table at the
entrance. Just place your used cartridge in the mailer, seal
it and drop it in a mailbox. There is a bar code on the bag
which identifies the Port Ludlow Computer Club as the
organization who receives the credit for recycling. Call
Mark Garcia at 437-8059 if you have a laser toner cartridge to recycle.
We thank you for your support and will keep you posted
on the success of this program. The PLCC’s intention is
that a Chimacum graduate will have an opportunity to
apply for a Technology Scholarship. The environment
also comes out as a winner.

Dog Talk
by Kevin Earl, Director of Golf, Port Ludlow Golf Course
Communication
As the Director of Golf for Port Ludlow I use various
methods to listen to our members, the visiting public, and
outside-specialized experts to help improve the quality of
the Golf Course. Recently some golfers may have felt
shut out of the “Loop” and question whether management
is listening.
All members have an opportunity to participate in some
or all of these options:
1. Comment cards
2. Ladies’ Club meetings
3. Men’s Club meetings
4. Member surveys
5. Greens Committee meetings
6. Open door policy
Rules of Golf
by Dave Ramsay
The Men’s Golf Association and I recently had a match
against another Club. We played against them first on their
course, and then on ours. This prompted several good
questions concerning the Rules on advice (Rule 8).
“Advice” is defined as any counsel or suggestion that
could influence a player (that is not on the same team) in
determining his play, the choice of club, or the method
used in making a stroke. However, it is not a breach of this
Rule to ask normal questions such as distance from one
object to another object (such as from the tee to a hazard,
or a certain tree, or the corner of a dogleg, or the middle
of a green, etc). You can also ask whether distance
markers are accurate, and you can even ask what club an
opposing player used after you have both played your
shots. Check Rule 8 and the Decisions book for several
rulings on various situations.
These various methods provide me and our Department
Managers with the framework to make decisions that will
help reach our short- and long-term goals. When some
groups are left out of the process, rumors get started and
relationships are strained. All groups have access to these
methods and I encourage each of you to take advantage of
them.
GPS and Yardage Guides
Recently Port Ludlow became “Sky Golf GPS” enabled.
This provides the player with the most accurate yardage
available today. The handheld device, the same one seen
on the infomercial, cannot be used during competition but
during social golf can provide enhanced information and
enjoyment during play.
Improving Your Game
Now that summer is finally here, your golf game may
need a summer check-up. Stop by and visit one of our
shop attendants to discuss Port Ludlow’s instruction
options. Members and guests have several options that
can help in all facets of your game.
New yardage guides that are common at many high-end
resort facilities are being developed to help all players
with yardages, and should be available this summer.
1. Dave Ramsey, who specialized in instruction at the San
Diego Golf Academy, can build a custom program to fit
your needs.
2. Ted Wurtz offers weekend clinics that cover all facets
of the game.
3. Robert Davies offers both individual and group sessions.
Computer video analysis is available by appointment.
Watch yourself swing—this provides a valuable new way
of learning and improving.
New Trail Open for Use
The most recent addition to our trail system starts at the
Clubhouse, then wraps around the perimeter of our
Timber Golf Course. It is now available for use. To
complete the trail, two bridges have been installed to
cross some newly found creeks. Come on out give it a try,
there are some spectacular views—and dogs are welcome!
Clubhouse Update
Drawings are being put together and will hang in the
Clubhouse to show what the new Clubhouse will look
like. Start date of Monday, October 10, 2005, is still on
target.

Nifty Niners’ July Schedule
by Beverly Browne
Carolyn Voss chaired a rules meeting of the Niners on
June 2 where the patches of long grass on the Golf Course
were discussed. The Niners, men and ladies, were vocal
in their objections to the length and position of the grass
and complained about lost balls and increased play time.
A focus of complaint was Tide #2 where the long grass is
not visible from the tee. Kevin Earl, Course manager,
explained that three golf-course architects suggested that
reduced mowing would improve the challenge and beauty
of the course. According to Captain Loretta Close,
management has decided to scale back some rough areas
to accommodate play. A rule change that would allow a
lateral drop out of deep grass onto a mowed area appears
to be unnecessary.
Port Ludlow ladies will Rally for the Cure on Thursday,
July 7, on Trail to benefit breast cancer research funding
by the Susan B. Komen Foundation. A luncheon at the
Bay Club follows the event. Thursday, July 14, golfers
will compete in a four-person Stableford and have hamburgers at the Bay Club at noon. The men will cook. The
Couple’s Event on Thursday, July 21, at 3:00 p.m. is a
Shotgun. Couples play Survivor and dine at the Beach
Club after the game. On Thursday, July 28, the ladies
participate in an exchange at Dungeness. They will car
pool from Golf Course parking, meeting at 7:00 a.m.
Other details will be announced later.
The Men’s Niners play a Two-Man Scramble on Timber
on Thursday, July 7, starting at 8:21 a.m. On Thursday,
July 14, there will be an Individual Low Net Shotgun on
Tide at 8:21 a.m. that will allow the men time to heat the
grill for the Hamburger Bash. The Thursday, July 21,
Couple’s Shotgun at 3:00 p.m. is described above. Thursday, July 28, the men play a Shotgun Modified Mexican
Standoff on Timber followed by a clinic and lunch.
Women’s Golf Association (WGA)
by Debi Bozanich, Captain
We have several events scheduled for the month of July
so please watch the bulletin board for the sign-up sheets.
Thursday, July 7, is the Rally For a Cure golf tournament to support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation. The event leader is Sandie Yonke and she is
coordinating all the activities for another successful day
of golf fun with friends. A luncheon at the Bay Club will
Page 34
follow play. Special thanks go to QFC of Hadlock, Costco
of Silverdale, Port Hadlock Vision Clinic, and Jefferson
Healthcare for providing tee prizes to all the participants.
And thank you, Port Ludlow Golf Club, for providing the
golf carts. Assistance from these businesses will allow us
to maximize our contributions to help fight breast cancer.
Sunday, July 10, will be another Couples Golf Tournament with a 3:00 p.m. shotgun followed by a potluck at
the Beach Club. This event is our annual Jefferson
HealthCare Auxiliary donation tournament. If you cannot
play, please consider making a donation to help those in
need at the hospital.
Monday, July 11, is “Play Day Away” and will be
coordinated by Caryl Oros.
Tuesday, July 12, is our mid-year luncheon and General
Meeting at the Bay Club following an 8:03 a.m. shotgun
start.
Monday, July 18, Port Ludlow Golf Club will be the site
for Teams of the Olympic Peninsula (TOP). Lucinda
Thompson will be organizing our team players and
coordinating tee times for other participating clubs.
Several WGA members will be competing in the Public
Links Championship at McCormick Woods on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, July 25, 26 and 27. And
finally, the Olympic Peninsula Invitational will be held at
Dungeness on Tuesday, July 26.

Women in Need
The seventh annual Soroptimist Scramble for Service will
be Saturday, July 16, at Discovery Bay (formerly Chevy
Chase) Golf Course. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m.
with a shotgun start at 1:00 p.m. The cost is just $55 per
golfer. It will be a great day of golf with terrific prizes.
There will be four hole-in-one prizes including $25,000, a
full set of irons, four-night cruise for two and two roundtrip airline tickets. There will be over 24 great raffle
prizes.
This is a major fund raising event for the Port Townsend/
East Jefferson County Soroptimists. Funds raised go to
local scholarships, recovery needs for domestic violence
victims, self-sufficiency for women re-entering the
workplace and women’s health initiatives. Contact Judi

Fast Facts on the
Medicare Population
by Dave Aldrich, Senior Information and Assistance
1. Medicare covers 41 million Americans, including 35
million people over age 65 and 6 million people under
age 65 who have Medicare based on disability or endstage renal disease. The total Medicare population is
projected to grow to 46 million in 2010, 61 million in
2020 and 77 million in 2030.
2. Roughly four in ten people with Medicare have incomes below 150 percent of the federal poverty level,
which in 2004 was $13,965 for singles and $18,735 for
couples. Nearly 65 percent of people with Medicare
had incomes beneath $25,000 in 2002.
3. On average, older Americans today spent approximately 22 percent of their disposable income on health
care costs. In 1970, the typical older adult spent 11
percent of his/her income on health care costs.
4. In 2002, Americans paid 67 percent more than Canadians did for patented drug products.
5. Whereas older Americans’ Social Security checks
increased by 2.6 percent in 2002, the average price on
drugs used by older Americans increased by 6 percent.
