Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader

A tale of two departments

PTPD cruisers wired for video. Sheriff’s cars? Nope By Scott Wilson of the Leader

Who uses video tools? Those with the technical knowledge – and the money. “We’re starting to see a lot of this stuff right now,” said Scott Rosekrans, chief criminal deputy prosecuting attorney for the Jefferson County Prosecutor’s Office. “The younger attorneys, the younger cops are really into this stuff. The older attorneys, the older cops have got to catch up with it.” Interestingly, the Houston Police Department, where Rosekrans once worked as a cop, was a pioneer in police video technology. But the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, whose cases Rosekrans often prosecutes, has gone backwards in the use of video – even as the Port Townsend Police Department speeds ahead.

THREE CAMERAS

Now consider a cruiser driven by a deputy with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. There’s no camera anywhere – unless the officer is packing one in his pocket. It’s a budget issue, of course. “We have digital video in almost all our cars,” said Sgt. Ed Green with the Port Townsend Police Department (PTPD). “We are wired up. We carry microphones. If there is a traffic stop, a DUI [driving under the influence], any contact with violators, it is all recorded.” The Coban Technologies system costs from $2,500 to $5,000 per car to equip the cruisers with the cameras and computer. More sophisticated systems cost $15,000. The PTPD began installing the system in 2007. The video cameras are not always recording, but when an officer sees the need to start recording, it’s triggered with the flip of a switch. The cameras actually start by retaining video that was pa ssively col lected 60 seconds prior to activation, said Green. In traffic cases, that previous 60 seconds is often crucial. That’s when a reckless driving violation or an accident may have occurred that prompted the officer to activate the recording system, said Green.

Take a close look at a Port Townsend Police cruiser and you will see no fewer than three video cameras. There is one pointing forward from the front windshield; one aimed backwards out the back window; and one installed on the ceiling above the second seat, watching whoever may have the misfortune to be riding in the back seat. There’s also a flat-screen monitor and a computer that coordinates and records from all of the cam- VIDEO, AUDIO eras. The front-facing camera

said it’s unlikely the department will upgrade any time soon. “It’s on my list of things I would like to have,” he said. If voters approve a sales tax increase of 0.3 of 1 percent that’s now on the Nov. 2 ballot, the Sheriff’s Office will receive an additional $175,000. But that money is already spoken for, needed to retain a deputy and a couple of other employees whose positions otherwise would be cut. Despite the absence of car cameras, the Sheriff’s Office itself is well monitored with cameras, particularly the jail. Sgt.

Posh colorists earn stripes Gina Holeman and Charlotte Rutter sound like passionate artists when they talk about the sources of color that inspire them: Think autumn leaves, fields in eastern Washington, tortoiseshell glasses, caramel candy, the grain of wood in the salon where they work. It’s a love of color and a desire to expand their knowledge to benefit their clients at Posh Hair Salon & Day Spa that led Holeman, 41, and Rutter, 23, to the bright lights of New York City to become Redken-certified hair colorists. Only 1,610 colorists have been certified by Redken across the country, Holeman was told. And she and Rutter are the only Redken-certified colorists on the Olympic Peninsula to go through the extensive process. “We both love color so much,” said Holeman, who has been a stylist and colorist for 21 years in her hometown of Port Townsend. It took the women almost a year of study and about $1,500 to complete the program. Then they went to Redken’s Fifth Avenue academy in New York to be grilled on hair-coloring principles, including foil placement, color formulation and color correction. They also went through a daylong testing process that included a written test and a hands-on exam with a man-

nequin to demonstrate color application and techniques. There also was a scenariobased test that required each to explain, step by step, how they would correct a complicated hair-color problem for a customer. An example might be a customer with sun-bleached blond hair who wanted to switch to honey blond hair, but whose hair is damaged and several different shades. To Holeman and Rutter, that dilemma is a fun challenge. Rutter, for example, recently went from having jet black hair to blond hair. Both women are savvy

about color. Holeman can look at a woman’s hair color and know what shade it is without having to look it up on a color chart. She’s used as many as five colors on one person. Customers like Margaret Logue appreciate Holeman’s skills and have relied on her for years. In fact, Logue brought in her daughter Sarah to have her hair done, and now Sarah has a young child who likely will be a customer some day. “I trust her completely,” Logue said recently while getting her hair done. “I just let her do whatever she wants to do.” Today’s hair-color products

are far different than the heavy ammonia dyes of the past. “Colors are amazing and good for your hair,” said Holeman. Color also has changed with the times. Redken, for example, now offers a product called Color Camo aimed at men. The color camouflages but doesn’t completely cover gray. Women can use it as well. Going through the certification program has made both women more confident. They say it’s also made their clients more willing to allow them to offer suggestions for changes. By using color, for example, hair can be given the appearance of having texture. And by understanding foil placement, hair can be given vertical lines that help elongate a round face. Color can complement skin tone and it can make people look older or younger, they said. These days, women have a tendency to ask for colors that sound like they are asking for candy or coffee drinks. Holeman, for example, says when someone comes in and asks for caramel highlights, she thinks of Werther’s Original, a favorite candy. Color – it’s what thrills Holmen and Rutter and now they’re certified by Redken to play with more confidence.

Ballots trickle in By Patrick J. Sullivan of the Leader

It’s a trickle now, soon to become a stream and eventually a flood: the flow of ballots being returned to the Jefferson County Auditor’s Office. The county has issued 21,679 ballots for the Aug. 17 primary election. As of Monday, 1,470 (6.7 percent) had been returned. Auditor Donna Eldridge expects a primary ballot return of about 62 percent. Jefferson County consistently ranks among the state’s top three counties in terms of ballot return. State Auditor Sam Reed has said he expects primary voter turnout statewide to be about 38 percent. Within the City of Port

Townsend there have been 6,722 ballots issued (including replacement ballots). As of Monday, 489 (7.2 percent) had been returned. There are 7,555 ballots out (including replacements) within Commissioner District 3, with 496 (6.5 percent) returned as of Aug. 2. District 3 voters are advancing two of the three county commissioner candidates on their ballot to the countywide vote in November. Ballots mailed July 28 contain a yellow card reminding voters that in this primary, neither candidates nor voters are bound to “pick a party.” Instead, the top two votegetters, regardless of political affiliation, advance to the general vote in November.

care,” she wrote. Glenn spent the last two years as a senior vice president of business development and product line management at Valley Medical Center, a 303-bed public hospital in Renton where he has been developing alliances with physician groups. He also has been on a leadership team at Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia. Glenn was born in Olympia and earned a bach-

elor’s degree in political science from Linfield College in McMinnville, Ore., and a master’s degree in health administration from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. All five top candidates were critiqued by commissioners in six areas – their understanding of rural hospitals, physician relations, experience with improving market share, financial knowledge of criticalaccess hospitals, experience working with public boards

and management style. Glenn wowed the board and received an overall score of 28 while Candidate No. 3 received a score of 25.5 and Candidate No. 1 earned a score of 23.7. Their names have not been released. Commissioners said naming the candidates would have limited their pool of choices because not all candidates would have wanted their employers to know they were looking at other options.

when he’s stopped at an intersection in his van. “I know almost ever y child in the county. If they are old enough to talk, they know my name,” he said.

rEasons to kEEp GoinG

Mackie has so many reasons to keep going. He’s been invited back to his hometown school in Ellon, Scotland to bring 25 instruments made in schools in the United States. “I can show a school how to build an instrument for $25,” he said. “Why can’t every child have an instrument?” That has been the mantra of Mackie, who carries a harmonica at all times, for two decades. When he goes back to Concord, Mich., to live with his 42-year-old daughter, Lauri Wolford, this fall, he’ll be tending to his grandchildren’s classes, showing them how to build simple instruments and guitars, whatever a child wants to play. He figures he’s reached out to thousands of children – not just in Jefferson County but around the world. Instruments he’s been instrumental in making are in the hands of children in some 24 countries, he figures. “I get emails from people all over the world from people who are inspired by the work the Lord has allowed me to do,” he said of his Andy Mackie Foundation. He’ll host another event on Labor Day weekend to keep that foundation going.

How it all bEGan

If you’ve lived in Jefferson County for any length of time, then you know the story. Mackie was ill 20 years ago, but thought it would do him and children in Quilcene good to make a little music in the time he had left. “I thought it was the last thing I’d ever do,” he said. Mackie recalls using money earmarked for medicine to instead buy harmonicas. That started Mackie on his mission to bring instru-

ments into virtually ever y school in this county, and many in surrounding counties as well. “It works,” said Pat Yearian, a teacher with the ICE program. “We are so thankful for all the instruments,” she told him Sunday. Jan Hobart, who works with the PIE program, said Mackie has been important to her family, as well as the community, and she recalled watching him put up one of his fliers years ago when her son, now 18 and a half, was only 5 years old. She said Mackie made sure no child was ever left out. She also recalled how music saved one young man who learned to play the guitar and wrote about it in a five-paragraph essay she once read. “Andy has saved life after life,” Hobart said. Rev. Lindsy asked Mackie to tell his story briefly. It took almost 20 minutes. Mackie admitted he’s had nine major surgeries, but still went for 11 years without medication. He’s been told to stay on at least one of his medications this time, or else. “If I can’t function, if I can’t be a useful human being, I don’t want to be taking up air space,” he said. Minutes later, before he performed with friends and students at the church, Rev. Lindsy read an email that former Chimacum Superintendent Mike Blair had written for the occasion. “In my 39 years in the profession, I have not see anyone that did more to bring joy to children’s lives than you,” said Blair, who was unable to attend the event Sunday. “To make music a part of a child’s life is a gift that will live forever. You are a miracle.” Blair added a post script, just for Mackie, “I gave the harmonicas you gave me to my grandchildren. You would be happy to hear that they are driving their parents nuts.” Yes, Mackie was happy to hear that the kids were up to music.

Morley: County could face $500K gap in 2011 By James Robinson of the Leader

Jef ferson County Administrator Philip Morley delivered a sobering financial report to Jefferson County commissioners July 26. In 2011 the county likely faces a funding gap of roughly $500,000 that if left unchecked, could grow to $1.5 million by 2012, compounding exponentially through 2015. “We are OK in 2010,” Morley said. “But I would submit to the commissioners that we are not doing OK in 2011 and beyond. We must take a more aggressive approach in managing county finances.” Morley’s briefing comes as the commissioners, via unanimous approval of the annual budget resolution on July 26, prepare for months of number crunching with department heads and elected officials necessary to draft the 2011

budget. “ W h a t I’ve shown you today is not cast in concrete. We will use new infor mation as it comes Philip Morley to modify projections. If we don’t manage, this is what we’re facing,” Morley said. “This is what would happen if we take our hand off the tiller and let it go on its own.” Key to managing county finances, Morley explained, is renegotiating contracts with two labor unions – the Teamsters and the United Food and Commercial Workers. Salaries and benefits account for 54.8 percent of the general fund budget, Morley said. “We will do what we can internally to constrain

expenditures,” Morley said. “Negotiations are ongoing with our labor unions. We will work with the unions to control labor costs, which are a significant driver of the county budget. We can’t prejudge where those negotiations might end up. Even if we were to hold all labor costs constant, we’re looking at program and ser vice cuts. We’ll continue to consolidate programs and services to seek ef ficiencies wherever possible.” Although Morley did not specify which programs and services might go on the chopping block, Morley said in a previous interview that “all options” were on the table. In addition, and part of the county’s recently adopted strategic plan, Morley said county staff would seek efficiencies within the organization, look toward partnering

with other organizations, and toward developing other revenue streams. During the discussion, and in reference to generating additional revenue, Commissioner David Sullivan spoke about bringing a ballot question to county residents. Among the options being discussed, Sullivan said, is a threetenths of a percent public safety sales tax or a general levy lid lift. Sullivan said preliminar y discussions explored the possibility of a 12 cent per $1,000 levy lid lift which, if approved, could add another $30 per year in property taxes to a home valued at $250,000. The public safety sales tax would be split, with 60 percent going to the county and 40 percent to city, with 30 percent of each jurisdiction’s take being put toward

law and justice costs. “We have to give voters a choice, whether it’s a sales tax question that we partner with the city on, or a levy lid lift, it’s up to us to craft a choice, and we could do so on the ballot,” Sullivan said. The board has until Aug. 10 to put a question on the November ballot, although Sullivan added that the board might choose not to move forward with a ballot question. Morley said drops in sales tax revenue and interest income have proved particularly problematic for 2010, and he is forecasting zero percent growth for many general fund revenues in 2011. “We’re a bit more conservative than the state,” Morley said. “The state is forecasting a 12 percent jump in sales tax in 2012. We’ve tried to build in more reasonable revenue predictions. We’re not ready

to make that jump.” Morley said the gap between revenues and expenditures reflects not just the recession, but the disparity between the state’s 1 percent growth limit on property tax revenue compared to 4 percent average inflation in the cost to provide county services. Up until recently, Morley explained, new construction had masked the disparity and filled the gap. “The public should have confidence the county is planning for the long term. We’re being financially conser vative in order to have ser vices and county government be sustainable for the long term,” Morley said. “In order to manage, you take stock of what your circumstances are. We’ve done that. Now we’re in management mode. The county is awake at the wheel.”

Currency: Local investments ▼Continued from page 5

Both Moore and Dobkevich are transplants, each moving to Port Townsend within the past 10 years. Moore said he was better able to make connections through the exchange because when individuals look to their immediate community for the things they need, they often receive the added bonus of a new friend. “It’s nice for people to trade and talk together,” Dobkevich said. “Some things that happen [in this kind of exchange] wouldn’t happen in the regular economy – it’s sort of neighbor to neighbor helping each other.” A more localized economic system supports improved resource management in the event of a serious economic collapse, added Dobkevich. “We’re also building a network in case things get worse,” he said. “We know where the

resources are in the community and what resources people are willing to provide and share. So it’s sort of a safety net.” Despite 25 years as a career computer programmer, Moore said, the local exchange has allowed him to offer his skills as a salmon smoker – something significantly less profitable in the traditional, competition-based system. “All of a sudden it has added value to the rest of who you are, aside from your professional self,” he said. James Frazier, a Port Townsend financial adviser with Natural Investments who is also active in Local Investing Opportunities Network (LION), based in Jefferson County, is all about strengthening the peninsula’s economy. However, his vision doesn’t exclude global trade. In fact, he sees the local economy benefiting from a wide reach.

“We’ve got to work with what we have,” Frazier said. “We can’t supply everything here, and we can’t expect to. We need to strike a balance.” The Food Co-op’s Griffin would be inclined to agree. She said the co-op originally didn’t carry bananas because they couldn’t be produced locally. When costumers started asking for bananas, it just made sense to ship them in, she said. Frazier said the peninsula economy must continue to develop the tourism indus- This logging truck lost its logs in a collision July 26 near Discovery Bay.
