Port Ludlow Voice
From the Editor’s Keyboard
by Barbara Wagner-Jauregg, Managing Editor
To those people who feel I’ve overly criticized the Port
Ludlow Village Council (PLVC) over the past months, I
meant it when I said in my September editorial, “The
PLVC is the only game in town.” My goal continues to be
that the PLVC serves as a unifying force in Port
Ludlow—working with the Developer to achieve an
acceptable build-out and bringing North and South Bay
together for the common good of everyone. Whether you
are in business here or came to enjoy the latter third of
your life, that goal affects you.
Most of us formerly lived in metropolitan areas where we
were used to a full menu of services provided by our
cities, counties and states. While we now live in a wonderful community, it is without any formalized municipal
government, in a cash-poor County with only one incorporated city. Our community has little or no structure to
handle the burdens faced by large urban areas, nor have
we put plans in place to take over operation of Port
Ludlow once the Developer leaves. Both the Ludlow
Maintenance Commission (LMC) and the South Bay
Community Association (SBCA) have important roles, but
they cannot act on behalf of all of us—only the PLVC,
without any legal or taxing authority, is in the position to
form community-wide committees, perform studies, and
lay plans for the future.
In the past, Port Ludlow Associates (PLA) has challenged
us to make plans to own and manage properties they
presently hold. In a perfect world these properties would
be gifted to us, but we have yet to successfully provide
PLA with plans that convince them we can manage
additional open space, etc. If PLA is not convinced, there
is a strong likelihood that the property it presently holds
could be sold to another developer.
Recently the SBCA Board prepared a point paper (see
related article on page 25), discussing the evolving role of
the PLVC. It was signed by the entire Board, and has
been sent to the PLVC, PLA, LMC and Chamber of
Commerce. The SBCA Board would like to start a
dialogue with these groups, urge the PLVC to reopen lines
of communication with the Developer and also reactivate
the Future of Port Ludlow Committee that in the past
investigated community ownership of open space and the
sewer and water utilities presently owned by PLA. Some
of these activities ceased when new leadership wasn’t

An appeal of the Jefferson County Hearing Examiner
decision on the State Environmental Protection Act
(SEPA) determination and the approval of the preliminary

Hearing Examiner Approves
Trendwest Development
by Beverly Browne, Contributing Editor
On September 2, Hearing Examiner Irv Berteig approved
the Ludlow Cove Division II Shoreline Substantial Development Permit and Binding Site Plan/Condominium
Subdivision. The proposal for a Trendwest development
on the site was submitted by Port Ludlow Associates
(PLA) and has been opposed by various members of the
community. The approval is subject to 36 conditions
involving roadways, drives, parking, trails, lighting, construction activities, native growth protection, and other
factors.

Congratulations to the eleven Port Ludlow women athletes who recently completed the 100th Danskin Women’s
Triathlon in Seattle. The event, a half-mile swim, 12.4-mile
bike ride and a 3.1-mile run, takes months of specific
training, tons of determination, and loads of courage. The
goal of the competition is to raise money for cancer
research.
Marianne Hauptman and Diana Coburn were individual
contestants who tackled all three segments of the
Triathlon. Team competitors, who each accomplished one
segment of the event were: Carol Land, Kathy Neill and
Jean Taylor of the “Bravehearts;” Hilda Cahn, Diane
Campo and Sharon Sorenson of the “Ludlow Ladies;” and
Edel Bahr, Adele Govert and Carole Porter of the “GoGetters.” Our local athletes joined over 5,400 other
women, of which 250 were cancer survivors.
The women agreed it was an awesome experience and
are already looking forward to next year’s event.
Marianne Hauptman, who spearheaded this year’s local
group, has agreed to be next year’s contact person. For
information to join the 2006 Danskin Women’s Triathlon,
contact Marianne at [email protected].
The Examiner considered three issues in determining
whether the 120-unit timeshare development could go
forward. In regard to the first issue—vesting—State law
says that a project is subject to the land-use controls in
effect when the building permit or preliminary plat application is submitted. The intent of the law is to protect
developers against fluctuating land use policy. Berteig
determined that the developers have met the timelines for
the multi-family project and were vested by a 2002
decision. The decision stated that land use controls in
effect in 1995 governed development. Similarly, questions
about zoning and density were determined by the 2002
decision. At that time, multi-family residential dwellings
(up to 16 per acre) were allowed on the property.
The third issue involved whether the timeshare is a multifamily residential project or a commercial hotel with
transient occupancy. Multi-family structures are intended
for residential occupancy regardless of type of building or
ownership. Commercial use provides merchandise or
services through retail or wholesale outlets. Transient
accommodations house occupants for less than 30 days’
duration. Berteig’s decision was that timesharing was a
form of ownership. Therefore, the project is a multi-family
development permitted under the vesting conditions, and
not a hotel.
Appeals of the decision were to be filed with the Clerk of
the Board of County Commissioners. The last day to file
was September 16.

Exercising Your Brain
You can keep your mind healthy by exercising your brain
and building up your “cognitive reserve.” For example:
Have a plan. Write things down. Create routines. Always
put your car keys in the same spot. When parking your
car, make note of physical lampposts, write down your
parking spot number.

Chief Wayne Kier’s Safety Tip:
Home Heating Maintenance
According to the National Fire Protection Association,
heating equipment is a leading cause of fire during the
months of December, January and February, and only
trails behind cooking equipment fires in home fires yearround. Use the next few months to schedule home heating
equipment inspections and maintenance before winter.
This will be my last report as Fire Chief at Port Ludlow Fire
and Rescue. It has been a distinct pleasure to serve as the
Fire Chief in Port Ludlow. I thank you for the support
during the past eight years. Be safe.

Are You at Risk for a Stroke?
Harborview Medical Center in Seattle contacted Port
Ludlow after learning of Harrison Hospital’s visit last May
that covered stroke and vascular disease screening.
Personnel from Harborview will conduct a seminar about
potential stroke risks on Tuesday, November 1, 1:00 to
3:00 p.m. at the Bay Club. Harborview is the leading
Northwest stroke center. Its staff realizes many people on
the Olympic Peninsula are, or may be, affected by stroke
or associated symptoms—which can alter our lives! Learn
that even a transient ischemic attack (TIA) has an impact
and is a warning sign!
Harborview will bring a panel of outstanding personnel to
address our questions and concerns regarding stroke: Dr.
Kyra Becker, Associate Professor of Neurology at the
University of Washington Medical Center and Co-Medical
Director of the Harborview Stroke Center; Sue Manfredi,
Assistant Administrator of Patient Care Services; and
Pamela Steele, Ph.D., Director of Community Relations,
Harborview.
Sign up to attend this informational meeting concerning
potential stroke risks at either the Bay or Beach Club, or
call Peggy Schafran at 437-9935 to ensure a seat. Tell
your friends, and put the date on your calendar now.
Literature will be provided.
Tri-Area Garden Club
Plans Plant Sale
The Tri-Area Garden Club members are busy gathering
plants from their gardens preparing for the annual plant
sale. It will be held Saturday, October 1, from 10:00 a.m.
to 2:00 p.m. at the Tri-Area Community Center. Members
gather perennials, shrubs, herbs, grasses, trees, bulbs and
houseplants from their personal gardens and homes, as
well as solicit donations from local nurseries and friends.
This year they also hope to include more native plants,
garden art and, of course, a few snacks for your shopping
pleasure.
Proceeds from the plant sale enable the Club to finance its
many civic projects, including maintaining a remembrance
garden at the Tri-Area Community Center, creating
projects with their friends at Discovery View, developing
educational events such as flower shows to present
horticultural and floral information to the community, and
awarding an annual scholarship to a local student majoring
in a horticultural field.

Additional Stroke and
Vascular Disease Screenings
Because the stroke and vascular disease screening last
August proved so successful, Harrison Hospital CEO
Scott Bosch has again agreed to fund the $130 tests for
90 people on Monday, October 31, and Monday,
January 16. This screening will be conducted free of
charge at the Silverdale Harrison Hospital by Lifeline
Screening of Ohio. It is a one-hour test, including ultra
sound. Results are mailed within 21 days and certified by
a doctor who specializes in the field. Approximately 20
Port Ludlow people received the August 16 screening.
The criteria for testing are: one must be over 60 and have
at least one risk factor such as smoking, high blood
pressure, heart or lung problems, or family history of
aortic aneurysm.
Bosch is convinced these tests can detect problems, and
he has appropriated almost $12,000 to help local communities. Call 1-866-220-7283 for your appointment on either
of the above dates.
CEA Auctions
Early in December Community
Enrichment Alliance (CEA) will
have its silent auction, which will
include items displayed for bidding
and a live wreath auction. The
proceeds from these auctions go to
benefit the Victims of Domestic
Violence in Jefferson County. Since
CEA is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit
organization, you can donate items and take the tax
deduction.
Look around: do you have a collection you find valuable,
but would like to get rid of? Donating items to CEA can
give you a tax benefit, and will benefit CEA because we
can use these items in our silent auction. Simply list the
items with a brief one-sentence description and value.
(CEA cannot give you a value on donated items because
we are not licensed appraisers.) Make a copy of your list;
we will sign your copy for your tax records, and use the
values to establish minimum bids. Help CEA and help
yourself at the same time. Contact Sharon Commander
437-2486 or Eline Lybarger 437-7701 to donate items. The
deadline for donations is Friday, November 18.

Religious Extremism:
An Inquiry Into Terrorism
Community Enrichment Alliance (CEA) brings back
theologian Michael Bogar, M.Div., Th.M. on Friday,
November 18, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Bay Club.
Tickets are $25 per person, and can be purchased in
October at CEA’s ticket table in the Bay Club any
Wednesday or Friday between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
The deadline for purchasing a ticket is Friday, November 11.
Since September 11, 2001, every television news report
and daily paper mentions something about the “War on
Terror, Suicide Bombers in Israel, Homeland Security or
the Conflict in Iraq.” Most of us see only bits and pieces
and are puzzled by the violence against innocent people in
the name of God. Who are these extremists? Do they
represent Muslims in general? Does the Islamic Holy
Koran advocate the tactics of the Terrorists? What are
the core issues and reasons these extremists use to justify
their cause? Are mosques in the United States involved?
Why do all religions have extremists? Join us to explore
answers to these questions and much more about this
timely issue.
If you have any questions, call Val Vogt at 437-4055.
Calligraphy Workshop
Judy Courtwright continues her art workshop series with a
class in calligraphy Tuesday and Thursday, October 4
and 6, from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m., at the Bay Club.
Calligraphy provides experience with several traditional
alphabets and pens…sort of a supersonic trip through
1,200 years of calligraphic history via experience, not
words. Students land in the 21st century, generally very
grateful for current tools, and they know how to learn any
alphabet they choose, as well as how to develop their
own. Project planning and development are discussed and
illustrated. Students get hands-on experience with a
variety of templates and ruling tools.
Tuition for workshops is $55, $50 for Bay Club members.
For information, or to be added to the mailing list, send email to [email protected], or call 379-4037. To
register, send checks to Judy Courtwright, P. O. Box 765,
Port Hadlock, WA 98339.

Information and
Assistance for Seniors
by Dave Aldrich, Senior Information and Assistance
As most Medicare beneficiaries know by now, Medicare
will be starting the new Prescription Drug Plan on January 1, 2006. There has been a lot of general information
out there in advertisements and in articles, but no clear
specifics until now.
It appears that the choices for the new Medicare Prescription Drug plan are fairly significant for our region.
There are 21 organizations offering prescription drug plans
with monthly premiums in different ranges. There are 5
plans that are being offered that cost less than $20, 5
plans that cost between $20 and $24.99, 7 plans that cost
from $25 to $29.99, and 13 plans between $30 and $34.99.
Some of the plans will offer zero deductibles or
deductibles lower than Medicare’s standard $250 annual
deductibles. Some prescription drug plans will offer
coverage that exceeds Medicare’s standard plan. This
includes help for beneficiaries to pay for costs beyond
$2,250 and before their out-of-pocket costs hit $3,600 a
year—the gap in Medicare’s standard coverage. Beneficiaries with limited incomes will be able to choose from
plans with zero premiums offered by at least 5 organizations. All of these plans will meet all of Medicare’s
standards for access to medications.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will
mail the Medicare and You handbook to Medicare
recipients by mid-October with further information.
If you need assistance or information on this issue or any
other issue concerning senior citizens, feel free to contact
the local Senior and Assistance office at 385-2552 and ask
for Dave.

Free Wild Mushroom Show
The Pacific Northwest is a great area for wild mushrooms, especially in the fall. Come to Chimacum on
Sunday, October 23, 1:00 to 5:00 p.m., for a large
display of these local wild mushrooms: edible (chanterelles, boletes, oysters, matsutake), poisonous (amanita,
poison pie, flat-top agaricus), and other (inedible, LBMs).
The Olympic Peninsula Mycological Society sponsors this
annual free show at the Tri-Area Community Center
(across West Valley Road from Chimacum Schools).
Experts will be on hand to answer your questions and help
to identify mushrooms if you wish to bring them to the
show. Several Port Ludlow residents are members of the
Society; you can join for $15 per year per family. For

UGN: The Heart and Soul of
Jefferson County Giving
The United Good Neighbors (UGN) campaign is in full
swing this month. As Jefferson County’s primary umbrella
organization for human and social service needs, the heart
and soul of UGN activities is the annual campaign.
Each year hundreds of individuals and many of our
County’s businesses give to UGN. Through this kind of
community generosity, UGN raises funds to support local
health and human services for more than 30 local programs. Programs supported include the Food Bank, the
Literacy Council, Jumping Mouse, OlyCap, the Red Cross
and the Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Program, just
to name a few.
From September through November, volunteers help
raise funds throughout the County by presenting the UGN
story. The campaign lets everyone feel good about giving
back to our community, knowing the donations are being
well invested in the County’s tradition of caring for its own.
The annual campaign is geared to attracting the highest
level of community involvement by building public awareness and inspiring everyone to support our friends and
neighbors in need.
Campaign brochures and donation forms were mailed in
September. If you haven’t filled one out and sent in your
contribution, you are welcome to do so! Any of our
volunteers are happy to provide presentations about how
UGN helps to change our local world, one person at a
time, positively impacting our community more than most
know.
For more information or to make a contribution, please
call the UGN office at 385-3797 or e-mail

Bluebills Oktoberfest Party
Willkommen! Get out the
lederhosen and steins! Strike up

together for food, fellowship and a
party.
The Olympic Peninsula Bluebills
are hosting an Oktoberfest Party
at the Bay Club on Thursday,
October 13, 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. The Boeing Company is

The menu includes bratwurst, bockwurst, sauerkraut,
Bavarian red cabbage, German-style potato salad, dessert,

Observance of Veterans Day
All veterans, spouses and guests are invited to celebrate
their service to our country, and to acknowledge those
who didn’t make it back to enjoy the fruits of their sacrifice. The ceremony will in the Bayview Room at the
Beach Club on Friday, November 11, at 4:00 p.m.
There will be patriotic music by the Port Ludlow Village
Sounders, an invocation, and an acknowledgement to each
service, as well as suitable remarks for the occasion.
The audience will be asked to share any of their favorite
military stories, the only rule being that if they are true,
they must be funny. After an appropriate toast, the
ceremony will conclude with more music, followed by a
social hour.
For planning purposes, please contact either Jerry Purdy
by e-mail at [email protected] or Peter Joseph
by phone at 437-8218.

Surviving the Bridge Closure
by Bill Hansen
The first phase of the Hood Canal Bridge closures went
much better than anticipated. Each of the August work
periods was accomplished in two days rather than three.
The high spirits raised by the quick work were tempered
over the Labor Day weekend when boat traffic required
several bridge openings, plus a glitch when the bridge was
stuck open for an hour and a half. On the Highway 101
alternative route, the State Patrol reported that, in spite of
much heavier traffic, no significant problems occurred.
Looking to the future, the Department of Transportation
has been unable to find an appropriate location (referred
to as a Graving Dock) where the large concrete pontoons
will be built. As a result, the next phase of construction
has been delayed until 2009 (or longer?).

First Wednesday Luncheon
The Beach Club is the location for the Wednesday,
October 5, First Wednesday Luncheon from 11:00 a.m.
to 1:00 p.m. Our guest speaker this month will be Tami
Robocker from Just Scrap It! in Port Hadlock. Her topic
is Preserving Memories. There will also be a special
tribute to Port Ludlow Fire Chief Wayne Kier presented
by Peggy Schafran. After several years of service to the
Port Ludlow community, Kier will take on a new position
as Assistant Fire Chief for North Kitsap Fire and Rescue
effective Saturday, October 1.
October Food Bank Requests
Since the primary goal of our First Wednesday Luncheons
is to support our local Food Bank, guests are asked to
donate cereal this month. The Food Bank also lists the
following non-food items that are needed throughout the
year: cleaning supplies, deodorant, detergent, diapers, dish
soap, facial tissue, feminine products, hand soap, paper
towels, shampoo, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. Luncheon
guests are encouraged to donate at least the equivalent
cost of a restaurant lunch to the Food Bank each month in
the form of requested items, cash or checks.
Monthly Raffles
Each luncheon features a raffle of several items, to defray
costs incurred by guest presenters or luncheon expenses
not covered by Food Committee volunteers. Excess funds
are donated to worthy charities and/or the Food Bank. We
wish to thank Citriadora Gift Shop in Port Townsend for
donating a generous gift certificate for our September
luncheon raffle.
Reminders
A new permanent guest list was created at the September
luncheon. If you are not on it, please sign up for the
October luncheon at either the Beach Club or Bay Club,
or call Joey Wheeldon at 437-8214 by Friday, September 30.
This will help the Food Committee plan accordingly.
Please wear your nametag to help others learn and
remember your name. If you have new friends or neighbors, invite them to join you.

Port Ludlow Book Club
The selection for discussion this month is another book by
Jane Sasson entitled Mayada, Daughter of Iraq: One
Woman’s Survival under Saddam Hussein. It is the
painful story of the granddaughter of a venerated Iraqi
hero who fought with Lawrence of Arabia. A journalist,
businesswoman, and mother of two children, she was
arrested, imprisoned, and tortured under the regime of
Saddam Hussein. While in prison, she meets 17 other
female prisoners and together they suffer and share their
stories and hopes. Her strong survival instinct and the
camaraderie of the other women empower her to survive
despite horrific circumstances.
Join the Book Club on Tuesday, October 11, at 6:30 p.m.,
when we discuss this riveting account of the atrocities
suffered by Mayada and so many others under Saddam
Hussein and his brutal regime.
The November book is Under the Banner of Heaven:
A Story of Violent Faith, by Jon Krakauer. Questions?
Call Martha Dawson at 437-4167. All are welcome.

North Bay Art Group
Hiking Club Events
The North Bay Art Group has resumed its afternoon
workshops after a busy and spread-out summer for many
of our members. We will be meeting every Friday from
1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Bridge Deck and look forward to
some interesting events as well as our personal challenges. New members or visitors are always welcome.
by Dan Darrow, Hiking Club Scribe
Bob and Liz Moss have recently returned from their
annual Art Camp in Montana and said this was the most
instructive session they have attended in the past five
years. One of their artist instructors, Heiner C. Hertling
(a renowned landscape and nature artist), has been
commissioned by the Public Broadcasting System (PBS)
to produce a twelve-part series on plein aire techniques.
The name of the series is “A Brush with Nature.” A pilot
disc is completed, and Heiner will be sending Bob the first
one-hour production, which we will be viewing during one
of our fall sessions. We will inform all members of the
date when it is available. Be sure to attend this meeting,
as it will be well worth your time.
The repairs on the deck in front of the “Gallery” are
completed and a new show featuring artwork by and
Janice Gruber and Libby Meyer has been hung. We had a
“Meet the Artist Reception” on Sunday, September 18,
which was attended by many of our local art patrons. If
you have not seen this display, please stop by the “Gallery” and enjoy the new show.
Out to Lunch on Bainbridge
The next Community Enrichment Alliance (CEA) October
Out-To-Lunch Bunch gathering will be Wednesday,
October 19, at noon. We will be lunching at Café Nola in
Winslow on Bainbridge Island—a European style café
featuring innovative, eclectic cuisine in a bistro setting.
Chef/owner Kevin Warren creates intelligent, artfullyexecuted plates using seasonal ingredients at their most
flavorful.
We will be ordering from the new fall menu, and lunch
should run from about $12 to $20. The restaurant is at the
intersection of Winslow Way and Madison on Bainbridge
Island. If you need directions, pick them up at the CEA
ticket table in the Bay Club where you can sign up any
Wednesday or Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The
last day to sign up for this lunch is Friday, October 14.
Let’s all meet at Café Nola as we welcome the crisp,
clear days of autumn. If you have questions, call Val Vogt
at 437-4055.
The summer months have provided
some great weather and many
interesting hikes. Thanks to all the
people who served as leaders to scout
out the trails and coordinate the hikes.
Now it is time to plan the fall and
winter schedule when we spend more
time at lower elevations and closer to
home. If you have a favorite local hike, now is a good
time to introduce the trail to the rest of the hikers. Make
plans to attend the planning meeting, and enjoy some
fabulous desserts.
All Friday hikes meet at the Bridge Deck at 8:00 a.m. to
arrange car pools and get directions to the trailhead.
Wednesday, October 5: Dessert and Planning
Meeting
At 7:00 p.m., bring your favorite dessert to the Beach
Club to share while helping to plan the fall and winter
schedule. Contact Dick Ullman, 437-5010, or Bernie
Robinson, 437-0703.
Friday, October 7: Choose One of Two Hikes
Royal Basin: A difficult 14-mile hike with 2,600-foot
elevation gain to an alpine lake surrounded by the highest
peaks in the Olympics. There are several picnic stops
along the way for those who want a shorter hike. Contact:
Bill Lane, 437-2044.
Spruce Railroad: An easy 8-mile walk along a historic
abandoned railroad grade above the cold, clear waters of
Lake Crescent. Contact Dick Ullman, 437-5010, or Dick
Gronhovd, 437-7692.
Friday, October 21: Lake Angeles Trail
Enjoy a moderately difficult 7.4-mile trail with 2,300-foot
elevation gain to a beautiful lake with an island and
waterfall. Contact Larry MacDuff, 437-7724, or Alyce
Hansen, 437-2458.
Every Wednesday: Timberton Loop
Enjoy views of the Olympic Mountains and Mount
Rainier. Meet at the trailhead on Timberton Road at
9:00 a.m. Contact Doris Monti, 437-0716.
Port Ludlow Voice
From the Jefferson County
Administrator’s Desk
by John F. Fischbach, Jefferson County Administrator
Greetings to all of you in the Port Ludlow area. I hope this
finds you happy and healthy as we move into the autumn
season and cooler weather. As always, there are many
things going on in Jefferson County, but a few of special
note are addressed here.
On September 2, 2005, the Hearing Examiner approved
the Trendwest project including 36 conditions for a 120unit multi-family timeshare in Ludlow Cove. The proposal
before the Examiner was a request for a binding site plan
approval to develop the project on 14.66 acres situated
within the Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort (MPR).
The approval completes a public hearing process and now
allows Trendwest Resort to apply for building permits with
the Department of Community Development so they can
begin construction. The core issue faced by the Hearing
Examiner revolved around whether the timeshare should
be permitted as a multi-family residential project or as a
form of hotel, which would be for commercial use.
Definitions of “multi-family residential” and “commercial
use” were considered at length, resulting in the conclusion
that the proposal remains as a multi-family residential
designation.
If no one appeals the decision, and no one has at the time
of this writing, Trendwest plans to close escrow with Port
Ludlow Associates, owner of Ludlow Cove Division II.
As it continues to move forward, they anticipate that the
project will be under construction next year and completed
by 2007.
As I mentioned in previous articles, Michelle Farfan has
been working part time for the Department of Community
Development (DCD) until a new planner is hired. The
position has been re-advertised and an informal coffee
hour will be scheduled in Port Ludlow once the top
candidates are selected. We anticipate this happening in
mid-October and will post notices in the Leader and
Peninsula Daily News, as well as contacting members of
the Port Ludlow Village Council regarding the date, time
and location.

Garden Club News
On Wednesday, October 12, the Port Ludlow Garden
Club will meet at the Bay Club from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
for fellowship, a business meeting, and a program. Members will be asked to consider proposed revisions in Club
by-laws during the business meeting. Our program will be
“Fall Planting for Year-round Interest.” Members and
guests should bring a brown bag lunch to eat during the
program. The Bay Club will provide beverages and
desserts.
The October program includes a panel discussion involving experienced Garden Club members and one or more
Master Gardeners from Washington State University’s
(WSU’s) Jefferson County Extension Office. Comments
will be augmented by slides illustrating spectacular results
that may be achieved throughout the year by planting a
variety of shrubs, trees and flowers in the fall. Port
Ludlow and surrounding area residents who are neophyte
Pacific Northwest gardeners are invited to join Club
members for this interesting discussion.
Sign-up sheets for the ever-popular annual Christmas
Shopping Trip in November will also be available during
this meeting. Reserve your space on the bus now for this
festive outing that is a favorite for long-time Club members! Bargains abound on end-of-year stock. This will also
be one of your last chances to join the Garden Club this
year. Only members may attend our very festive and
elegant Holiday Tea in December. Annual dues are still
only $12, and membership runs from January 1 to December 31 each year! If you are unable to attend in October,
and don’t want to miss the Christmas tea, be sure to mail
your dues check for $12 to Port Ludlow Garden Club,
P.O. Box 65235, Port Ludlow, WA. 98365.
A Correction!
by Maureen Poole, Contributing Editor
Oops, I slipped in an extra 0. Now a zero doesn’t usually
mean much, but United Good Neighbors (UGN) has 1,500
donors County-wide, not half the population. But in light of
all the need we are seeing, perhaps adding the extra 0 to a 1
would be a great gift to UGN. Don’t let my fingers going
astray lead you to believe your gift isn’t needed. It is!

Long time New York
State residents Hilda
and Michael Cahn,
made a visit to their
(East Coast) neighbors,
the Pooles, who were
by then living in Port
Ludlow. Seeing how the
beauty of the area and
the abundance of
activities would fit into
their active lifestyle,
Hilda and Michael Cahn.
and nearing retirement,
Photo by Peggy Lee Flentie the Cahns decided to
make the move west.
They are avid hikers and bikers, and like to ski, kayak and
camp. The benefit of this move has enriched Hilda and
Michael, as well as Port Ludlow.
Volunteering to help out at what was then the “Explorers
Club,” Hilda and Michael learned the ropes from the
Robinsons and the Larkins. In 2001, using her organizational skills (and with Michael’s encouragement, moral
support and assistance) Hilda transformed “Explorers”
into “Dine and Discover (D&D).” Learning from past
coordinators, and being the “queen” of delegators, Hilda
devised methods for recruiting volunteers “to help just one
time,” and now staffs the D&D gatherings each Fall,
Winter and Spring with a wide range of speakers and
volunteers. Hilda uses charm and laughter to recruit, and
actually has speakers calling her and requesting a venue
for their talks. Monthly coordinators are a bit harder to
charm, but the months are signed up for at the May event,
and then volunteers are reminded at the appropriate time.
Dine and Discover averages 100 guests at the monthly
organized “pot luck” gatherings. Long-time volunteer
Connie Abang manages the kitchen and deserves a huge
“cheer” for her efforts. Hilda keeps the finances, shops
for paper products, necessary utensils and serving items—
and she and Connie store them until needed.
Topics are always relevant to current events or living in
the Northwest. Focus is given to area residents who have
particular expertise, talent, or experiences that would be
RV Club: Still on the Road!
by Marti Duncan
After visiting Fidalgo Bay near Anacortes, Salt Creek
Recreation Area near Joyce, Spokane RV Resort, Icicle
River RV Park near Leavenworth, Fir Crest Resort near
Lac La Hache in B.C., Canada, the Port Ludlow RV Club
has one more outing this year—to Cape Disappointment
(formerly Fort Canby) near Ilwaco, Washington, Tuesday
through Friday, October 4–7.
What a wonderful camping season it has been. Some Club
members took kayaks with them to Canada, where the
campground was on a stunning lake. As usual, the trips
produced new friendships and many good times.
Next year’s schedule promises to be just as exciting, with
trips planned to Dosewallips State Park in Brinnon;
Grayland Beach State Park in Grayland; Cannon Beach
RV Resort in Oregon; Mountain Shadows in Sisters,
Oregon; Kah-Nee-Ta High Desert Resort in Warm
Springs, Oregon; and Fort Stevens State Park, also in
Oregon.
To learn more about the Club, plan to attend our Annual
Business Meeting, Wednesday, November 9, 4:00 p.m.
at the Beach Club.
Any of the following officers would be happy to answer
your questions:
Jerry Rinck, Wagonmaster
Ed Knodle, Wrangler
Michael Cahn, Paymaster
Jan Knodle, Historian
Susan Kriegel, Scribe
Marti Duncan, Publicity
Rae Watkins, Social Chair
The Club has all types of RVs—small to large motor
homes, trucks with campers, fifth-wheel towables and
pop-up tent trailers. For information about Club membership, call Susan Kriegel, 437-9237. First year’s dues are
$35; subsequent years’ are $25.

Artists’ League News
Penny Sanzaro is the featured artist
for October. Having visited the
Huntington Library Art Gallery and
Gardens and the Los Angeles
Museum of Art in Exposition Park at
a very young age, she made up her
mind to become an artist. She
completed her education at California
State Long Beach, and worked as a
graphic artist and technical illustrator after graduation.
Since moving to Port Ludlow, Sanzaro has been working
in watercolors and enjoys painting waterscapes and
flowers. Her work will be displayed at the American
Marine Bank, Port Ludlow, and the opening reception will
be Friday, October 7, 3:00–5:00 p.m.
The monthly meeting of the Artists’ League will be on
Wednesday, October 19, 1:00 p.m., at the Beach Club.
The meeting/demonstration will feature Miriam Lansdon
who has recently discovered a new surface—yupo
paper—for watercolor and mixed media. While attending
a workshop with George James, a nationally known
painter, she saw what could be done on this synthetic
surface, which is a polypropylene. Lansdon says, “The
watercolor does not penetrate the paper, but over time it
cures. The process is creative, flexible and forgiving.
Paint may be applied in layers, removed by spraying water
and applying paper towels, and drawn on with watercolor,
crayons and ink. It is great fun for the creative spirit.”
Lansdon’s background includes art education at Lewis
and Clark College, Portland State and the University of
Washington. She has spent her life making and teaching
art.
The public is invited to the meeting, and there will be
hands-on time for the audience to participate. Contact
President Marti Mathis at 437-2704 or

Elizabeth Van Zonneveld read Steve Failla’s Recycle
Committee report. Doug Herring, Council Vice-President,
presiding in the President’s absence, invited residents to
make recommendations regarding the relocation of the
recycling area when it is necessary that it be moved. (See
related story, page 20).
Council member Phil Norwine delivered the Emergency
Preparedness report. He stressed that the Committee’s
mission is communication in the case of an emergency.
He has purchased adequate two-way radios to equip each
Village coordinator and assistant. The radios have a range
of 8 to 10 miles. He indicated that the Citizen Emergency
Response Teams (CERTs) are not currently operational.
He stressed that residents need to remember they live in a
forested area with dangers of earthquakes and windstorms
from the west. He is to follow up on questions raised
regarding an automated telephone system that would alert
residents in case of a major emergency. He encouraged all
residents to attend the Disaster Preparedness Seminar,
Thursday, September 15.
Tom Carter reported for the Trails Committee. He
provided the Board with a prototype map depicting the
complete Port Ludlow Trails system. This will be a fourpage foldout in which the map program can display
additional trails once developed. He announced that the
Upper Rainier Loop Trail has been barked, and they are
currently working on the Interpretative Trail. See related
story, page 19).
ment (DCD) announced that Faith Lumsden, a consultant in land use matters, has resigned effective Saturday, October 1. Nobles stated she is a recognized
expert and, with Port Ludlow having several critical
issues being studied, it is important that a replacement
be found.
Ralph Stroy, Council member and liaison to the Friday
Market, stated that the market had only five weeks left for
this season. With an average of 24 vendors each week,
the Market is expected to generate about $1,000 profit for
the season.
There were no reports from the Future of Port Ludlow or
the Utilities Committees. No representative from Port
Ludlow Associates (PLA) was present.
Elizabeth Van Zonneveld reported that the Ludlow Bay
Resort Committee would have a full Committee meeting
Wednesday, September 7, to review the project. No date
has been set for the County review.
Assistant Fire Chief Ed Wilkerson reported for Fire
District #3. The burn ban is still in effect. As of August 1,
Station #33 on South Point Road has been operating with
Port Ludlow Voice
a staff of two, a firefighter and a volunteer. The Fire
District had continued to provide coverage during Jeff
COM 911 computer problems caused by a virus. They will
have a static display on life safety issues at FunFest 2005.
Fire Commissioner Wheeler indicated that Assistant Fire
Chief Wilkerson has been named Acting Fire Chief
effective October 1 and will serve until January when a
permanent Fire Chief will be appointed.
Fire Chief Wayne Kier received a standing ovation when
introduced by Council Vice-President Doug Herring. He
was thanked for his eight years of professional service,
during which he built a strong team and a model station.
Herring reported that the FunFest 2005 budget shows a
potential $3,400 profit.
Frank Siler reported on the PLVC Board election procedures. He requested Board comments on election material. The mailing will contain candidates’ resumes; proposed changes to the Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws; a ballot and a return envelope. They will be
mailed Friday, September 9 and must be returned by
Friday, September 30. Ballots may be mailed or
dropped in ballot boxes at the Bay or Beach Clubs.
Francis Wickeham questioned if the proposed change to
the Voting Membership section of the Bylaws would allow
WorldMark members to vote. Herring indicated they
would get a legal opinion and the information will be
included in the ballot mailing.
Tom Stone, President of South Bay Community Association (SBCA), covering for Jerry Conover, SBCA’s representative to PLVC, stated that the SBCA Board was
concerned about the evolving role of PLVC and was
preparing a paper on the SBCA’s position. He also
requested that PLVC’s meeting minutes be posted on
PLVC’s website.
The next Workshop Meeting is scheduled for Thursday,
October 6, 9:00 a.m., at the Bay Club.

PLVC Candidates Respond to Query
by Kay Standish, Contributing Editor
Resumes of the seven candidates for the PLVC Board
were included in the ballot mailing, but the Voice asked
each nominee his primary reason for running and what he
hoped to accomplish, if elected. The candidates and their
summarized responses are listed alphabetically. Note three
persons are to be elected from North Bay and two from
South Bay.
Karl A. Barden (North Bay): “37-year property owner in
Port Ludlow…decent appreciation both of the history and
compartmentalized development of our community...
convinced of and dedicated to the need for us to focus on
the things we have in common and to see ourselves as
one community. The Village Council is the best present
instrument that speaks for all of us.”
Don Clark (North Bay): “I feel that Port Ludlow’s controversial build-out issues will be largely settled and the
direction of the community as a whole will be set in the
next PLVC term. While I support Port Ludlow Associates’ (PLA’s) proposals and plans for the Master Planned
Resort (MPR) build-out, I believe oversight on the process
of the development is essential. I wish to be involved in
seeing that the build-out is completed as proposed and that
it remains viable for many years to come. I am also very
interested in the other areas of the Council’s purview,
such as trails, emergency preparedness, utilities, community development and Friday Market.”
Tony Durham (South Bay): “I was asked to be a candidate by individuals I admire and respect for their own
contributions to this unique community. It would be hard to
say ‘No’ in light of their own efforts. … Residents from
many different origins and with a wide range of interests
are overwhelmingly thoughtful, friendly and helpful … I
very much want those characteristics supported and
perpetuated! I believe that the role of the PLVC and its
working relationship with the Ludlow Maintenance
Commission (LMC) and South Bay Community Association (SBCA) would benefit from improved and more
detailed and documented definition. … Leading to additional opportunities for North and South Bay communities
to work together for the mutual benefit of all residents.”
John Golden (South Bay): “The main reason that I offered
up my name as a candidate is that I feel there is unfinished work to do in uniting the PLVC so that it more
accurately represents not only the North and South Bay
Port Ludlow Voice
Page 19
communities but all of Port Ludlow. Presenting a united
voice for the total community is especially important when
it comes to dealing with the County officials who have a
significant impact on how our community evolves. This is
a democratic community and the PLVC will not always
have a 100 percent unanimous opinion, but it is important
that both the majority opinion and the minority opinion be
clearly stated and articulated by the PLVC.”
to be done, and personally putting in many hours of
physical labor. He has organized a standing weekly work
party to take on the Big Jobs. This group of hardy volunteers has included Dave Blessing, Jerry Coburn, Willard
Gatlin, Stan Gustin, Steve Holmes, Larry MacDuff, Jack
Manning, Francis Marik, Jack Riggen, and—representing
all us women—Janet Hanz. Anyone wishing to participate
may contact Mike at 437-4101.
Larry Nobles (North Bay): “My goals for the Village
Council are: work to establish better and more cooperative
relationships between North and South Bay. Dissuade the
anti-Developer attitude of some in our community, and
instead develop closer liaison with PLA to further the
optimal build-out of Port Ludlow. Approach the development of the Resort core in a positive manner so as to
achieve the most attractive development of this important
focal point of our community. Encourage more active
consideration and study of the future needs and governance of a post-Developer Port Ludlow. Develop stable
and sustainable sources of income to support the future
activities of the Council.”
Improvements this group has been working on include
widening and stabilizing the Upper Rainier Loop and
laying a completely new walking surface of wood chips
along its entire length. This done, they have now turned
their attention to the condition of the Interpretive Trail and
have begun major improvements there.
Allen Panasuk (South Bay): “I was asked to run and I
believe it is important to give back to the community in
which you live. Port Ludlow is a fabulous place to live and
I am willing to work towards a better community. I believe
everyone should take a turn in helping their community
and I consider this my turn.”
R. Bruce Pyles (North Bay): “My primary interest in
serving the residents of Port Ludlow on the Village
Council is to assure a fair and reasonable transition from
the Developer to a ‘stand alone’ Village.”

Let Mike Do It!
Since taking over the Trail Steward
Program in June, Mike Porter has
quickly turned that job into something
completely different. Not only has he
re-organized the Trail Stewards and
given them new direction, but he has
taken on the organization of all trail
maintenance in Port Ludlow. He has been everywhere, on
foot or on his mountain bike, measuring distances, evaluating the condition of our trails, prioritizing work that needs
Anyone who knows Mike knows he has prodigious energy
and a wealth of ideas. He has successfully obtained
donations of needed materials from several sources,
including Ernie Yeoman, the Port Ludlow Golf Course,
Fred Hill Materials, and Hadlock Building Supply—
materials such as wood chips, sand, wood, and railroad
ties. The Trails Committee, on behalf of the entire trailwalking community, wishes to thank Mike and his crew of
volunteers.
Trail Map
The much requested and long awaited Port Ludlow Trail
Map has finally gone into production. We have been
working with the Kroll Map Company of Seattle to
computerize the map that is posted in both Clubs. The
Kroll Company cartographer has redrawn the map in a
much more simplified format. Once finished, it will be kept
on their computer system so that we will be able to update
it easily when the next trails, such as the Olympic Loop
and the Picnic Point Trail, come on line.
The map will be a two-sided color foldout. The Trails
Committee has the funds for the cartographic work on the
map, but the copies will cost about $1 each to produce.
We had thought we’d have to pass on the copying cost to
those who want the maps, but Kitsap Bank has offered to
underwrite at least some of it. More definite information
about where to obtain the map and how much it will cost,
if anything, should be available very soon.

Recycling Update
Hikers Find Paradise
by Steve Failla, Village Council Recycling Chair
by Dick Ullman, President, Hiking Club
During four difficult August days, our recycling center
was overflowing, and all because of the modern equivalent of an old horseshoe nail. The engine control module of
Skookum’s bin truck quit; and for lack of area expertise
they had to tow the beast to Seattle for repairs. Our mess
would have been even worse had not Skookum loaded its
passenger van several times with recyclable overflows
from their pick-up locations. It was upsetting that an
apparently large percentage of the people here, seeing the
bins full, just dumped their stuff on the ground rather than
holding it for another day.
It could not
have been more
beautiful! Blue
skies, warm
weather, and
the majesty of
Mount Rainier
all combined to
offer the 52 of
Hikers’ paradise.

us from the
Hiking Club
four days of spectacular vistas from a dozen different
trails. We arrived on a perfect September Tuesday
afternoon and checked into either Paradise Lodge, the
National Park Inn at Longmire, or Cougar Rock Campground. After a short hike we gathered at a picnic site and
experienced a cold buffet—as only Port Ludlow kitchens
can produce. Salmon, Sushi, beef, and a wide range of
appetizers, salads, breads and cheese were featured, as
well as dessert…of course. And then it was time to make
final plans for the next three days of hiking.
Good news! A new bailing machine is scheduled for setup
at Skookum Recycling during mid-October. Once on-line
it will be able to handle #2 plastic (opaque containers
typical of washing machine liquids and the like). The
problem is to provide bin space to accommodate this
additional plastic. I am therefore asking you to pleeeze
conserve room in the bins by flattening your plastic milk
and other containers underfoot. Flattening aluminum cans
would also help.
Brown and white glass both have market value when
segregated. This value is lost when mixed. If mixed, we
could add green glass, which has never had recycling
value. Skookum has been working with Fred Hill Materials to crush all glass together and then use the crushed
product within Jefferson County. Uses for crushed glass,
equal to or better than currently used materials, include fill
under roadways, bed for septic fields, and a drainage
medium around bases of concrete structures. Fred Hill
Materials successfully crushed test batches of mixed
glasses (including green glass). However, Jefferson
County does not permit crushed glass to be used in
County projects.
An unheralded contributor to the success of our Friday
Market has been the Skookum driver, Matt, who arrives
at our recycling site at 5:00 a.m. on Fridays to complete
the bin transfer before our market opens.
Due to Port Ludlow Associate’s (PLA) expansion plans at
the Village Center, it may be necessary to relocate our
recycling facility. I have met with Greg McCarry, CEO of
PLA, to explore other locations suitable for recycling.
Potential areas for locating our recycling facility should be
considered by all residents. If you have suggestions for a
location, send them to Steve Failla at
[email protected].
Everyone made his or her choice of hikes and then, in
groups of six, eight, ten or more, we met with our hike
leaders each morning and began our adventure at the
trailhead. Skyline, Kautz Creek, Eagle Peak, Reflection
Lake were some of the trails we experienced. The views
of the waterfalls on the Van Trump trail were particularly
inspiring and majestic. That hike alone made the trip
worthwhile. The weather and mountain were in their glory
until Friday when clouds hid the mountain and hikers in the
higher elevations enjoyed some snow flurries.
Each evening many of us met on the deck at the National
Park Inn where we socialized before dinner. And right in
front of us was “The Mountain!” What a sight. We traded
hiking stories, laughed with friends—new and old—and
started talking about where we would go next year on our
Annual Getaway.
Thanks to the guidance and organization from Dick
Schneider, Hilda Cahn and the hike leaders. Special
thanks to the followers, without whom there would be no
leaders. This year’s trip was yet another successful
adventure in a growing list of experiences among the
forests, lakes, rivers and mountains in our beautiful
Northwest.

Denotes Beach Club Members-Only Activity
LMC Board Meeting Highlights
by Carol Shamhart
The monthly Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC)
Board of Trustees meeting was held on Saturday,
September 10.
Beach Club General Manager Brian Belmont reported
that the ladies’ locker room is progressing. New floor
drains were installed and the concrete floor was repoured. Interior walls have been framed and approved by
the County, and plumbing and electric have been roughed
in and approved by the County and the State Inspector.
Insulation was added to the west wall (facing the parking
lot). A Trustee work party provided the labor to install
insulation in the locker room ceiling to maintain heat and
minimize noise. Completion date is expected to be around
the middle of November.
Brian thanked Trustee Terry O’Brien for his assistance in
installing a State-required latch on the self-closing door to
the indoor pool. Prior to the next swim season, Terry has
offered to install similar latches on the self-closing doors
leading to the outdoor pool.
Brian urged all LMC members who rent space in the RV
lot to check tarps and covers on their RVs before the
winter season.
Pat Cooper reported for the Operations Committee. The
Committee has received numerous requests related to
views and trees. Pat detailed the procedures followed in
handling these requests and reported recent positive results.
The subject of Club fees has recently been discussed. A
subcommittee consisting of Eve McDougall and Carol
Shamhart will research this issue and work with Brian
Belmont to develop a fee schedule that will keep the
Beach Club on a par with other clubs in the area.
Elizabeth Van Zonneveld reported for the Architectural
Control Committee (ACC). Twenty requests were
approved since the last meeting, including two house
q
additions, five repaints, seven tree removals, two fences,
and four new houses. One vacant lot tree removal request
was denied. There are 21 pending requests. Members of
the Committee are monitoring houses under construction.
The Paint Request Form has been changed to accommodate current color trend choices.
Greenbelt Committee (GBC) Chair Ron Garton reported
that requests for work in the greenbelt, mostly for view
restoration or preservation, have been accelerating over
the past year. On a recent tree removal, four cedar trees
were sold by combining LMC trees with those of PLA to
make a load. LMC was paid $327.
Ron reported a heavy infestation of Tansy Ragwort, a
noxious weed, in the Swansonville area. About 3 to 4 feet
in height, with a crown of small yellow flowers, this weed
is now beginning to invade Port Ludlow. Ron encouraged
residents to cut or pull Tansy as well as thistle because
they are both very invasive.
Finance Committee Chair Bruce Pyles reported that after
review of the current operating funds, the Finance Committee estimates there will be sufficient funds to meet the
expected needs of the LMC for the remainder of the year.
The Finance Committee’s regular meeting date and time
have been changed to the third Thursday of each month
at 9:00 a.m.
Communications Chair Sally Orsborn reported articles for
the October issue of the LOG should be sent to her no
later than September 25. The next issue will be out in
early October. Sally announced Penny Sanzaro has
agreed to join the Communications Committee.
Board approved items:
• Appeal Hearing re the Gilmore fence will follow the
regular LMC meeting on Saturday, October 8.
• Penny Sanzaro will join the Communications Committee.
• Fee for drainage easements through the LMC
Greenbelt will be $75 per easement. (County filing and
recording fees were amended as of 8/1/05.)

Your Drainage District at Work
by Lee Amundson, Drainage District Commissioner
The Drainage District currently has two projects under
contract with Seaton Construction; namely, Adventurer
Lane French drain, and phase III of the Libby Court
project partially completed last summer.
Storm water is presently being directed from the area
upslope from Adventurer Lane into the greenbelt to the
west of the path leading from the end of Adventurer Lane
to the park and the tennis courts. During heavy rainfalls,
water inundates the path and driveway of the home at the
end of Adventurer Lane, causing problems to the homes
east of Adventurer Lane. A French drain will be installed
in the greenbelt to pick up the water and direct it to the
County ditch on Adventurer Lane and subsequently to the
ditch on Fleet Drive.
The next LMC Board of Trustees Meeting will be held at
the Beach Club on Saturday, October 8, at 9:00 a.m.
LMC members are encouraged to attend.
Phase III of the Libby Court project involves modifying
the County ditch on the west side of Oak Bay Road. The
culverts crossing under Oak Bay road between
Swansonville Road north to Montgomery Lane will be
modified to restrict the amount of water that can enter the
culverts. The flow of the water in the ditch will be directed away from a number of small existing culverts
under Oak Bay road toward the culvert at Baldwin Lane.
This culvert leads into the completed project between Oak
Bay Road and the beach which is now able to handle the
additional water.
It’s That Time Again:
Octoberfest at the Beach Club!
These projects had been scheduled for completion in
August, but will more likely be done in early to midSeptember.
Preparations are under way for our popular Homeowners’
Octoberfest at the Beach Club. Mark your calendar for
Saturday, October 15, at 6:00 p.m., and reserve early,
for this popular event is always a sell-out!
Additionally, the District has initiated a website at
pldd.org containing status on completed, current, and
future projects, minutes of meetings for the last six
months, current budget, and the boundaries of the District.
The District plans to expand the website in the future to
provide further information with respect to the activities of
your District and to also allow you to express your concerns.
• The rebuild of Admiralty Building 12 is progressing.
• Approximately 25 new homes have been approved to
date.
LMC Board and committee meetings (with the exception
of Executive Board meetings) are open to all LMC
members. Check at the Beach Club for date and time.

We’re still keeping the tradition alive with plenty of
German sausage and German beer and the great sounds

Tickets are $8 per person, payable when you make your
reservations. Members of the Beach Club and their guests

Where in the World is Port
Townsend, Washington?
Postcards from all over the world have found their way to
the Northwind Arts Center in Port Townsend, for its firstever postcard show and sale. Local artists and artists
across the country and throughout the world were invited
to participate in this benefit sale. They were instructed to
sign their 4-inch by 6-inch art pieces on the back so
buyers would not be influenced by who the artists are and
where they might live.
This event/sale continues at Northwind on Saturday,
October 1, noon–8:00 p.m., and Sunday, October 2,
noon–6:00 p.m. An opening reception was held Friday,
September 30, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. These original art
postcards will be sold, with no peeking on the back until
purchase, for $25 each or 5 for $100. Northwind invites
you to join the hunt for the secret artist and help it continue as a venue for a wide variety of art-related activities.

A couple of weeks later the same neighbor returned with
a plant tag; she had found its name Gunnera tinctoria,
commonly known as Chilean Rhubarb or Chilean
Gunnera. One of the largest perennials you are ever likely
to encounter, it is exceeded in size only by the closely
related Gunnera manicata. The leaves can grow to over
6.5 feet across on stems as long. The two species may
seem hard to distinguish at times, but Gunnera tinctoria
has distinctively red tinged flower clusters that are tighter,
narrower and shorter than Gunnera manicata.
Considering its size, I found a new home for it: down the
slope of a six-foot bank. Actually, all the Gunneras are at
home in swampy areas with plenty of shade. They die
down in the fall, but in early spring this one sends up a
reddish, pinecone-looking bloom about 2 feet tall that lasts
for a month. It is exotic and tropical looking and certainly
adds drama to the garden all summer long.
Now how can I get even? She did say she was looking for
some groundcover. Maybe I should make her a gift of
ajuga, creeping blue-star, vinca major, lamium, or…

South Bay Community
Association (SBCA) Update
by Tom Stone, President, South Bay Community Association
July Board Report and Commentary:
Twenty-two members representing nine different South
Bay Villages and the Racquet Club attended our meeting.
Below are the highlights:
Financial:
Treasurer Chris Whitehurst submitted current financials.
She presented pie charts showing the breakdown of
SBCA assessment usage. It was shown that for Fiscal
Year 2005 our monthly assessment was used in part for
payroll (47 percent), utilities (13 percent), surplus account
(9 percent), maintenance/landscaping (9 percent), long
range maintenance and expansion (7 percent), insurance
(4 percent), supplies (4 percent), and other miscellaneous
at 2 percent or less.
The financial highlights and the pie charts will be posted
on the bulletin board and on our website. (See linkage to
South Bay website on http://www.plvc.org/.)
Chris also presented a list of the long-range maintenance
items that will be addressed this year. These items include:
fixing parking lot and roads, exterior painting, new exercise equipment, new window treatments, and new banquet
tables. Total estimated cost of these projects is $34,000.
The prior Board approved this amount.
Board of Director Reports:
Vice President Jerry Conover reported on the Trendwest
development. He will be coordinating a South Bay public
forum on Trendwest to see that their rules and regulations
match our CC&Rs now that the County has approved its
entry into Port Ludlow.
Member-at-large Larry Elton reported that the CC&Rs’
lawsuit is progressing and that discovery information has
been supplied to the opposing attorney.
SBCA Board Meeting
Friday, October 14, 9:00 a.m.
All SBCA members are welcome.
Please note change from regular schedule.
s
Member-at-large Connie Wilkinson provided an excellent
tutorial on the history of the Bay Club Associate Membership Agreements. She explained how South Bay was
established and how the initial Associate memberships
were created. She stated that South Bay currently has
518 approved lots; Olympic Terrace II will add 80; there is
the potential for more with the annexation of Port Ludlow
Associates-planned (PLA) new developments called Falls
Terrace (60 units starting in 2006), Creekside or Ironwood
(40 units starting in 2007), if the Developer decides to go
ahead with these projects and if the membership of the
SBCA approves their annexation. There is no legal
constraint as to who may join the Bay Club as an Associate member; the SBCA Board of Directors must, however, approve them.
Given that the Bay Club was initially designed for 800 lot
memberships, the SBCA Board has more work to do on
the tradeoffs among an increased number of members
versus their payment of the quarterly assessment, and
parking constraints.
Member-at-large Jack McKay requested that the Bay
Club Expansion Committee be reinstated to continue the
excellent work by the previous Board and to at least look
at a modest and phased expansion plan. The Board was
polled for volunteers and a search has been started for
new members.
Member-at-large Roy Kraft reported on the status of the
buoys in Inner Harbor. Two of the three buoys have been
removed. The County Compliance Officer indicated that
all buoys should be removed by mid-September. After that
fines may be imposed.
Membership and Bay Club Operation Reports:
Mike Morgan reported that there are currently 505
members in SBCA, a gain of one (Timberton). He discussed a staff change, four building enhancements, and
new equipment acquisitions (ice machine and elliptical
trainer). He also reported that last month there were six
Port Ludlow Voice
major events held at the Club and that the attendance at
future events (particularly weddings) might be limited due
to parking and noise issues. If any South Bay member has
an issue with Bay Club operations, he asked that he be
contacted personally at 437-2808.
ARC Committee:
ARC Chairman Richard Grimm reported that 16 new
applications for permits were issued. Thirteen applications
were issued permits by Village ARC reps. He briefed the
Board on both Bayview view maintenance and Inner
Harbor deck replacement issues. Tom Callahan was
approved by the Board to replace Larry Smith who
resigned. Welcome aboard, Tom, and thank you so very
much, Larry, for your excellent work.
Tennis Committee:
Clint Webb, Committee Chairman, gave a tutorial on the
South Bay tennis court issues. He reported members of
the Bay Club staff, PLA staff and Racquet Club members
cleaned the Golf Club courts and court perimeters, bought
and installed new nets and handrails. This has made two
of the three courts located there playable. The Committee
requests that the courts be resurfaced. Board members
asked several questions and future study will be conducted by the Board to be addressed at the October
Board meeting. At the request of the Chairman, the Board
approved the re-establishment of the Tennis Committee.
Miscellaneous:
The Board discussed the evolving role of the Port Ludlow
Village Council (PLVC). It was stated that while the
PLVC does many good and worthwhile things for the
community they have let some things slide. The PLVC
Board has ceased communications with the Developer
and has stood down the Future of Port Ludlow Committee, missing a valuable opportunity for the community to
be informed. To address this situation, the SBCA Board
has written a point paper discussing the evolving role of
the PLVC. It was signed by the entire Board, and has
been sent to the PLVC, PLA, Ludlow Maintenance
Commission (LMC) and Chamber of Commerce. The
SBCA Board would like to start a dialogue with these
groups.
There was discussion about real estate For Sale signs in
neighborhoods. The CC&R restrictions were covered.
The Board agreed that a warning letter would be sent to
area realtors.

Exercising Your Brain
To keep your brain healthy, you need to build up what
doctors and scientists call “cognitive reserve.” For example:
Sharpen your intelligent memory. You can do this by
reading sections of the newspaper you ordinarily skip or
by listening to a radio or television commentator with
whom you disagree. When faced with a problem, think it
through. Remember how you tackled a similar problem in
the past and analyze what worked well and what did not.

Arts Council Benefit
for Katrina Survivors
by Beverly Rothenborg
Mended Heart, a
classic cowboy,
country gospel and
western swing
music group, will do
a benefit concert for
Hurricane Katrina
survivors on Sunday, October 16,
2:00 p.m., at the
Bay Club. This
concert is being coMended Heart in concert. Submitted photo sponsored by the
Port Ludlow Arts
Council and the South Bay Community Association
(SBCA) so 100 percent of your ticket donation will go to
the American Red Cross to be used for the benefit of
those affected by the dreadful disaster in the Gulf States.
Let’s show that Port Ludlow cares.
Mended Heart consists of three Dreyer brothers who sing
in close harmony much in the same style as the Sons of
the Pioneers. When talented siblings form a trio, there
often can be a special charisma. Pronouncing words the
same way and in the same cadence is a part of it, but the
blend is truly unique. An evening with this trio is an
unforgettable time of pure music and entertainment.
The band, consisting of pedal steel/dobro, drums, fiddle
and lead guitar, is ready to delight listeners regardless of
age or musical preference. To see pictures and listen to
clips of their music, go to www.mendedheart.com.
Thousands of people throughout the Pacific Northwest, up
and down the West Coast and across Canada have
enjoyed Mended Heart’s cowboy concerts. However, the
“new” Mended Heart is also dipping into the newer
country music to perform songs that fit their classic style.
The Academy of Western Artists nominated Mended
Heart last year in the top 10 for best Western Music
Group and best Western Swing Album of the year. Their
CD, Cowboy Snapshots, will be available for sale.
A minimum donation of $10 per person for Katrina survivors will be collected at the performance.

The Port Ludlow
Singers are made up of your friends and neighbors from
throughout the community—some 25 men and women
who share the love of singing and performing. About every
Port Ludlow Voice
12 to 18 months they gather together to produce a show
such as the well-received review of motion picture music,
“Cinemagic,” which they presented in 2004 to Port
Ludlow audiences as well as to the student body of
Chimacum Schools. This year they will perform music of
the Great White Way—songs from 100 years or more of
Broadway—both here and at the school.
Opening the show will be those syncopated ladies, The
Hot Flashes. Expect their usual sass and vinegar, as they
get just a little naughty. Port Ludlow’s popular barbershop
chorus, The Village Sounders, under the direction of Frank
Siler, will also make an appearance.
Who can resist songs we’ll never forget from shows such
as A Chorus Line, Annie Get Your Gun, Cabaret,
Camelot, Carousel, Cats, Funny Girl, Grease, Guys
and Dolls, Gypsy, Hello Dolly, Les Miserables, Mame,
My Fair Lady, Oklahoma, Phantom of the Opera,
Show Boat, Sound of Music, South Pacific, The King
and I, The Most Happy Fella, The Music Man and more.
For a full night of the Broadway music you’ve loved
through the years, mark your calendar for “The Magic of
Broadway,” Thursday or Friday, October 27 or 28.
Tickets are only $12 and can be purchased at the Bay Club.
Specially Pre-“pared”
Show at Port Townsend Gallery
For the first time in its eight-year history, Port Townsend
Gallery is presenting a unique group show. The artists
have been busy preparing for “The Pear, Pair,
Pare…Show.” You will find pairs of earrings and salt/
pepper shakers, photos of Paris, pears or pairs of overalls,
paintings of pears, sculpted pears and jewelry beyond
compare!
This artists’ cooperative has been in operation since 1997
when it was called Open Studio. In March 2002, they had
a moving parade down Water Street to their current
location at 715 Water and changed the name to Port
Townsend Gallery. Their success continues with about 28
members who are solely responsible for all aspects of
managing the store and assisting customers.
So cancel your trip to Paris and come in pairs, eat some
pears, wear peridot jewelry and periwinkle apparel, bring
your au pair, and be prepared to meet the unparalleled
artists during the monthly Gallery Walk Night on Saturday,
October 1, 5:00–8:00 p.m. The show will continue during
the month of Octo-pear!

Popular Bass-Baritone Returns
for an Encore Performance
It was in February of 2003 that Port Ludlow audiences
first heard the beauty and power of Henri Loiselle’s rich
voice and experienced his diverse repertoire—songs
from Broadway, country favorites, ballads, as well as
familiar folk, classical and opera selections. Now,
“Saskatchewan’s Own Singing Farmer,” also known as
the “Pavarotti of the Prairie,” comes to the Bay Club on
Wednesday, November 16, 7:30 p.m., for an encore
performance.
A concert by Henri Loiselle draws from his three albums,
One Day at a Time, a collection of inspirational songs; By
Request, including Broadway and American folk favorites; and his Christmas album, A Gift of Song, produced
by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).
With a Diploma in Agriculture from the University of
Saskatchewan, Loiselle wrestled all his adult life between
his vocation (farming) and his avocation (singing). When
Canada’s first lady of song Maureen Forrester heard him
sing, she arranged for him to study Opera Performance at
the University of Toronto. He also studied and performed
in Chiari, Italy, with the International Institute of Vocal
Arts.
Loiselle has performed numerous concerts with the CBC
and Radio Canada. A regional finalist in the Metropolitan
Opera National Council Competition, he toured with the
Canadian Opera Company and has performed in concerts
from British Columbia to Canada’s Maritimes.
You still can purchase a six-concert Flex Pass at $84 for
the Arts Council series and save 12-1/2 percent over the
price of individual tickets. Take your pass to the Bay Club
in advance of the concert and it will be punched in
exchange for individual tickets. To purchase and exchange by mail, send a check, your request and a stamped
self-addressed envelope to P. O. Box 65210, Port Ludlow,
WA 98365.
Individual tickets for the Henri Loiselle concert sell for
$16 each and are available at the Bay Club. For further

Port Ludlow Chamber
of Commerce
Monthly General Meeting
Jutta Gebauer: An Unsung Heroine
The Port Ludlow Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon will be held Wednesday, October 5, at noon, in
the Harbormaster Restaurant’s Chart Room.
by Dana Petrick, Chamber of Commerce Board Member
Speaking will be Stephanie Reith, Executive Director of
Jefferson Land Trust, and Sarah Spaeth, Land Projects
Manager. They will give an overview of the role the Land
Trust plays in east Jefferson County’s quality of life
through their protection of open space, wildlife corridors,
salmon habitat, and farmland. In particular, they will
discuss some of the economics of land conservation, new
standards and practices for land trusts, and the quickening
pace of land conservation in Jefferson County.
Stephanie became the Land Trust’s first-ever Executive
Director in June 2004. She moved to Jefferson County
from Chicago with her husband Henry Werch in April
2004 after a 20-year career in environmental communication consulting that included Superfund and military base
hazardous waste cleanups, stormwater and transportation
management, and strategic planning for environmental
non-profits and community partnerships.
Sarah has been with the Land Trust for nearly 10 years,
first hired to manage the Quimper Wildlife Corridor
project. She has been an integral force in raising and
managing more than $1 million for wildlife corridor and
salmon habitat land acquisition. She has a Master’s
degree in Coastal Zone Management and lives in Port
Townsend with her husband Tom and three sons.
Ferry Service a Success!
The Port Ludlow Chamber of Commerce had a very
successful foot ferry service during the second bridge
closure in August. This was a huge undertaking for our
Chamber and an enormous monetary commitment. Thank
you to all of our generous sponsors, to our Chamber
Board members, and especially to Tim Caldwell and Jutta
Gebauer for all their hard work, time and determination
that made it happen!
For those of you unaware, the Port Ludlow Chamber of
Commerce became a pass-through agency for Jefferson
County for the Olympic Gateway Visitors Center one year
ago. This puts us in the position of employer for the
Center. Many of you do know Jutta Gebauer who has
graciously and untiringly run the Center for 14 years. She
is the only paid employee, and for the hours she cannot
cover she recruits volunteer staff. Jutta also involves
herself in many tourism-related organizations and committees. She has also served on the Port Ludlow Chamber
Board as our Treasurer and in other positions for many
years, as well as being active in the Tri Area Chamber of
Commerce.
Jutta has pushed to update our Chamber website, which
has been a frustrating one-year project. She puts together
a lot of our local and County brochures and constantly
sends out information all over the world to inquiring minds.
The conditions at the Center are not very attractive to
visitors and not a very work-friendly environment for Jutta
and her volunteer crew. There are sanicans for restroom
facilities, which in the summer months are horrific to drive
by, let alone use. The garbage collection is not frequent
enough to keep the contents from overflowing or people
from tossing refuse on the ground. Garbage pickup then
becomes another responsibility for Jutta.
Many promises have been made that we will eventually
have a new facility with restrooms and running water.
Apparently it is not on any priority list.
In short, Jutta is overworked and underpaid. She has given
this community, this County, and this Peninsula so much.
Unfortunately, she has made the decision to move on to
better prospects after the New Year. She will be missed
and very nearly impossible to replace. Best of luck, Jutta!
What happens next is a very limited scope of hours that
the Center will be open, if at all.

Port Ludlow Associates
Changes in the Wind at
The Resort at Port Ludlow
by Greg McCarry, President and CEO
Many changes are anticipated at the Resort at Port
Ludlow—changes that include people, operations and the
food and beverage program.
On the people side, Rebecca Ammeter announced her
resignation and left Port Ludlow in early September.
Rebecca wore two hats. She served as General Manager
at the Inn and also served as Director of Human Resources. Human Resources (HR) has been a specialty of
Rebecca’s for many years. She was offered a position as
the HR Director at the Skagit Hospital with 1,100 employees. This is quite an important role and Rebecca had to
jump at the opportunity. Close behind Rebecca was
Joseph Mollerus, CSC. Joseph also accepted a position at
a new location. He has been at the Port Ludlow property
since 2001 and is looking forward to a new assignment.
To replace the General Manager position, Port Ludlow
Associates (PLA) has enlisted the assistance of a recruiter with a specialty in the hospitality business. Our
goal is to locate a new general manager by the end of
2005. We will also leave it to the new general manager to
evaluate the personnel needs for the food and beverage
program.
With regard to the food and beverage program and prior
to leaving, Rebecca and Joseph hired a consultant to
evaluate the program and also to conduct community
focus groups to assess what is important to Port Ludlow
residents. To date, four meetings have been held with 80
residents participating. As a second step, all participants
have been asked to complete a written survey.
The input from the residents will be used to tailor the food
and beverage program at the Harbormaster and the Inn
with an eye to being more responsive to community
interests. We will write more about the results of the
survey and the focus groups in later issues of the Voice.
For those residents who participated, we express our
gratitude and look forward to implementing changes based
upon your input.
We want to thank Rebecca and Joseph for their past
service to Port Ludlow and the company and wish them
success in their respective endeavors. We have a team in
place to bridge the transition as we search for a new
general manager. Please continue to visit us in our restaurants and thank you for your continued support.
Dine And Discover
Dine and Discover resumes its monthly potluck dinner and
lecture programs on Monday, October 3, 6:00 p.m., at
the Bay Club. The speaker will be Robert Steelquist,
Education and Outreach Coordinator with National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s)
Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary. He holds a
Masters degree in Environmental Studies and has
authored a dozen books. Steelquist’s subject will be
“North Olympic Coast Prehistory and Sea Level
Change.” He will relate his research of life in this area
over the past 5,000 years. Sign up at the Bay Club to bring
a dish large enough to serve at least 10 people.
The next Dine and Discover potluck dinner takes place at
the Beach Club on Monday, November 7, at 6:00 p.m.
Christie Lassen, owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in
Gardiner, will be the presenter. Her talk will focus on
creating a backyard wildlife habitat, not only for birds, but
also for all kinds of wildlife. She will discuss the rapid loss
of habitat in Washington and the importance of living in
harmony with our native wildlife.
Please call or stop in at the Beach Club to sign up to bring
a dish to share. Also bring your beverage and table
setting. The cost is $2 per person at the door. Call Hilda or
Michael Cahn at 437-8223with questions. All Port Ludlow
residents, especially newcomers are welcome.

“How to” Boating Classes
On Wednesday, October 5, Flotilla 41’s popular “How to” boating
series continues with “How to use your electronic navigation

Scores from the Bridge Deck
by Barbara Bradford, Reporter
On Mondays Port Ludlow bridge
enthusiasts gather for ACBL-sanctioned bridge. The number of tables
ranges from three to seven.
I would like to remind you that the Marina office has
maintenance request forms. If you need any additional
cleats or repairs to your dock box, stop by and fill out a
form; we will respond to your request promptly. Remember to keep your dock box locked through the fall and
winter seasons. The winds tend to lift the dock box lids
and break the chains.
Winners:
If you are taking off for the winter, please stop by the
Marina office and update your emergency contact numbers.
The Marina staff would like to wish all you snowbirds a
safe and warm winter, and we will see you in the spring!
Fall and Winter Hours:
Through Tuesday, November 15, Sunday to Saturday,
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Wednesday, November 16 to Wednesday, February 15,
Sunday to Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Note: The fuel dock closes one hour before the store

FunFest Golf Tournament in Port Ludlow
Sunday, October 1, 10:30 a.m. shotgun. This event, if
you have not heard, will become our community’s “secret
jewel.” Our tournament Chair, Bill McKinley, has sold out
all the tee sponsors, so the FunFest is getting the attention
of our local businesses. We have planned more than your
typical tee prize and KPs with a Nostradomas award, a
sandbagger’s award, and many more secret prizes for this
great year-end event.
Niblicks Dinner for October
Ghoulishly scheduled for Sunday, October 30. If you
plan to play golf, and you come out in a full costume (not
just a hat), then golf carts for that day will be free. Dinner
will be $10 per person or $7 per person if you come in
costume. What a great value and sure to be fun!
Course Update
Tree Trimming: Our on-going efforts to expose Port
Ludlow’s greatest asset, the views, will continue this
winter. Mostly alders will be taken out to open up airflow
and sunlight. These new open areas will be replaced with
ferns and lower profile trees.
Irrigation Update: $1.3 million in 2005 dollars is the cost of
replacing our 30-year-old system. With the new Clubhouse to be constructed in 2006, it looks like 2007 is the
year for irrigation replacement.
Master Plan: John Harbottle will be contracted to provide
a master plan that incorporates all aspects of the course
for the short and the long term. The major benefits for
creating this type of document and plan will be to map out
what the course will need to stay modern while keeping its
original charm.
Clubhouse Update
Early 2006 is now the scheduled demolition of the Clubhouse. As I mentioned in previous articles, the architect
renderings have been hanging in Niblick’s for anyone who
wants to take an early peek at the design.
Rules of Golf
by Dave Ramsay
Most avid golfers know that when putting a provisional ball
in play they may continue to play that ball with further
strokes up until they reach the area that their original ball is
(or where it may have been lost, anyway). If the original ball
is found in bounds, any strokes with the provisional do not
count and the player uses the original ball from there on.
However, what if the original ball is much further than was
expected (e.g., perhaps it bounced down the cart path
unbeknownst to the players)? If the player does not find his
ball where he believes it to be, continues play with the
provisional ball, then finds his original ball further forward in
bounds; can he use the original ball? Rule 27-2b states, “The
player may play a provisional ball until he reaches the place
where the original ball is likely to be. If he makes a stroke
with the provisional ball from the place where the original
ball is likely to be or from a point nearer the hole than that
place, the original ball is lost and the provisional becomes
the ball in play under penalty of stroke and distance.”
The key words for our scenario are “where the original ball is
likely to be,” as opposed to saying, “where the ball actually
is.” In the above example, the provisional ball is now in play,
regardless of the actual resting place of the original ball. For
this reason, you should not play a shot with the provisional
from or beyond where you think the ball probably went until
you have searched the entire area that you believe it could
be in, both long and short of where you think that it probably is. And remember, you are only allowed five minutes for
your search.
Homer Smith Hosts Annual
Tournament and Party
by Beverly Browne, Contributing Editor
On August 29 Homer Smith hosted the 28th annual
Homer Smith Golf Tournament and Awards Ceremony.
The event was originally conceived by Smith’s father and,
at the time, partially sponsored by Safeco Insurance.
According to Smith, his father was always partial to Port
Ludlow and believed that you can only have a good party
if you have good people. He believed those people lived
here. Originally the tournament was just for men, but
Eleanor Smith insisted that the wives should be allowed to
play too, and the rest is history.
Port Ludlow Voice
Loretta Close, Captain, presented the prizes to the winning
9-hole ladies. Cynthia Durham was judged “most fun” and
received lessons. Various golf gadgets and clothing went
to Nancy Schamadan (median gross score), Mea Graham
(third low net), Ann Nugent (second low net), and Mary
Nye (first low net).
Tom Stone, Grounds Committee, presented prizes to the
9-hole men. Joe Quisenberry was the “most fun.” Other
prizewinners were Paul Downs (median gross score), Leo
Abang (third low net), Ray Lybarger (second low net),
and Howard Schaible (first low net).
Among the 18-hole ladies, Flora May Bradley received a
prize for being “most fun.” Kathy Hampton was the
median player. Low net players were Elvira Schawel
(third), Arlena Brown (second), and B.J. Wills (first). Low
gross champion was Gale Byington. The KP went to
Cindy Kelly who landed 12 feet from the line.
Among the 18-hole men, high gross winners in flights A
and B were Bob Bradley and Jack McKay. Median gross
score winners were Bob Reasoner and David Aho. Low
net prizes went to Harry Jevas and Gary Smith (third),
Don Haus and Bob Smith (second), and Kent Stainfield
and Roger Reihard (first). KPs were awarded to Ken
Baldwin and Harry Jevis. Fred Bowen won the card-off
for low gross.
Michael and Mea Graham helped arrange the party, which
consisted of an astounding array of appetizers and drinks.
The affair was catered by Nancy’s as a special favor for
Smith. Jerry Conover did the scoring for the tournament.
Women’s Golf Association (WGA)
by Debi Bozanich, Captain
Our season comes to a close this month and I wanted to
take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers of the Port
Ludlow Women’s Golf Association for their time, energy
and dedication to the game of golf. A quick look in your
member handbook will list those women who served on
the various boards and committees and made the 2005
season fun and successful.
The Club Championship concluded with a celebratory
luncheon on August 23. Congratulations to Nancy Cooper,
our Club Champion, for the second year in a row! Runner
up was Bonnie Vahcic and Low Net of the Field was
Suzy Lee.
