Fighting cancer with facts, food PT nutritionist debuts NPR program

By Allison Arthur of the Leader Daniella Chace says women with breast cancer can benefit now from new research and shouldn’t have to wait for research to become routine and part of care protocols or medical therapies.

It’s why the 50-year-old Port Townsend clinical nutritionist has written two new books, one technical, one fun.

It’s why she said yes to producing to a nutrition program for National Public Radio (NPR).

It’s why she’s developed an app to help people pick foods that contain healing nutrients while they are shopping in the grocery store.

And it’s also why she said yes to writing another smoothie book, this one specifically to take on breast cancer.

“I think it’s fascinating that so much new research is available, and if the general public had access to it, it would change the course of disease in this country and the epidemics we have,” Chase said one day recently over a cup of turmeric tea at Pippa’s Real Tea. “There’s new information all the time, and I get very excited about it and I want to translate it into See CHACE, Page 15▼

The Inn at Port Hadlock likely will see another Christmas come and go without being open.

Last Christmas, affordable housing advocates were hopeful that the inn – which was shuttered in June of 2011 – would be reborn this year as Bayside Hotel, a place where those in need of clean, affordable housing could find temporary sanctuary.

For now, those hopes are on hold. A lease between Bayside Housing & Services, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit led by John Cantlon, and the inn’s owner, Gary Keister, is in default, Cantlon said.

“We’re heartbroken,” Cantlon said on Sept. 28. “There’s a lot of momentum that you get from starting and if you stop and take a breathe, you lose your momentum. But at this point, you can’t spend money you don’t have.”

Cantlon said that when a licensing inspection was set up in June, it had to be canceled because so much was unfinished.

“There was a lease and we were making payments but we stopped. We had hoped to occupy it by April,” said Cantlon.

Keister said that it has been a challenge to make necessary repairs and that some original estimates for repairs didn’t hold up, and cost more than he anticipated.

“I would say that we are close to 90 percent finished now and we’ve related that to John last Friday,” Keister said on Sept.

28.

“It certainly has been difficult for them to hold on and do the fundraising that they need to do without having a facility available to them and we obviously couldn’t turn it over to them until these things are comSee BAYSIDE, Page 16▼

Assessor valuing county properties

Assessor now finishing Quilcene, Gardiner, West End assessments this year; Port Ludlow next year

By Leader Staff Jefferson County is now in the second year of mandatory annual assessments on all property, instead of counties being allowed to use a fouryear cycle.

Jefferson County Assessor Jeff Chapman is required to value all property at 100 percent of fair market value.

This value may be subject to further adjustments because of legislated programs for timber, agriculture and open space, as well as lowincome seniors or disabled persons. Information on these reduction programs is available from the assessor’s office.

The county is divided into six physical inspection areas. Each year, one of the areas is reviewed physically, on site, by the assessor’s appraisers.

Assessor’s office staff members are currently completing a physical inspection within the Quilcene School District, Gardiner and West Jefferson County.

In 2016, assessors go to Port Ludlow to do physical inspections for taxes payable in 2017.

The annual assessments include new construction as well as conducting reevaluation work and statistical updating for changes in market value, Chapman said.

Only owners of parcels with values that change through this process receive change-of-value notices.

Property owners may file an appeal with the Board of Equalization prior to July 1 if they are dissatisfied with their current valuation, regardless of whether they receive a change-of-value notice.

Anyone with questions about the process should call the Jefferson County Assessor’s Office, 385-9105; stop in at the office on the first floor of the Jefferson County Courthouse, 1820 Jefferson St.; or write to the Jefferson County Assessor’s Office, P.O. Box 1220, Port Townsend, WA 98368.

Ludlow fire district marking 50th year Port Ludlow Fire & Rescue (Jefferson County Fire District 3) celebrates 50 years of service to the Port Ludlow community this October.

A celebration is planned from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 3 at Station 31, 7650 Oak Bay Road, specifically for those individuals who were and are currently affiliated with the district.

From its early beginnings as a volunteer fire

department, the district has grown to three stations and a full-time staff of 12 firefighter/EMTs and paramedics who provide 24-hour, 365-days-a-year service that includes fire suppression, rescue services, basic and advanced life support response and transport.

Five elected commissioners oversee the district that covers 55 square miles and a population of about 4,600 people.

Open burning ban set to expire Sept. 30

Open burning regulations in Washington state are expected to return to normal when the statewide ban on open burning expires Sept. 30.

Recreational campfire restrictions were eased on Sept. 4 by the state Department of Natural Resources, along with many local fire jurisdictions, to again allow recreational campfires and charcoal burning. Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest lifted all recreational campfire restrictions as of Sept. 9.

However, the ban on open burning of yard debris or land-clearing debris,

for example, has continued per the statewide ban that started June 25 and is set to end Sept. 30.

The campfire restrictions were unusual for the Olympic Peninsula, but necessary due to a dry winter and impacts of long-term drought across the Olympic Peninsula, according to a press release from Olympic National Park.

Additional fire restrictions and area closures were implemented by other land management agencies throughout the Olympic Peninsula. National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service firefighters

responded to more than 20 fires within the park and forest this summer, ranging from burns of less-than-10 acres to the 2,800 acre Paradise Fire.

The Port Townsend Food Co-op has announced that it has earned the GreenChill 2014 Achievement Award for Best Emissions Rate from the Environmental Protection Agency’s GreenChill Partnership.

This award goes to the partner with the lowest corporate-wide refrigerant emissions rate of all the 11,000 partners, which includes retailers such as Target, Whole Foods Market, Hanover Co-op stores and many others, according to a press release.

Refrigerants used by supermarkets are harmful to the environment when emitted into the atmosphere; some harm the ozone layer, and most are very potent greenhouse gases, according to a press release from the Food Coop. Refrigerants that are commonly used in supermarket refrigeration systems are anywhere from 1,800 to 4,000 times worse for climate change than carbon dioxide.

“For comparison, our emissions rate for 2014 was 2.6 percent or 12 pounds of refrigerant, said René Tanner, facilities and maintenance manager for the Food Co-op. “A typical supermarket leaks 1,000 pounds into the atmosphere annually. That is because we

State patrol probing SR 104 fatal collision

By Patrick J. Sullivan of the Leader The Washington State Patrol’s investigation into a fatal two-vehicle collision caused by a Jefferson County man Sept.

23 on State Route 104 is in the early stages.

“In a fatality investigation, usually we’re talking weeks before [investigators] come to any kind of conclusions,” said Washington State Patrol Trooper Russ Winger, WSP District 8 public information officer, Sept. 25. “Our detectives are not going to make a determination until the investigation is fully wrapped up.”

This is the sixth fatality accident this year in Jefferson County involving motor vehicles or motorcycles, the most in one year since 2010, according to Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader newspaper archives.

One person died in the Wednesday-afternoon collision, while three others were injured.

The Jefferson County man whose vehicle crossed the highway centerline and struck another vehicle, killing one passenger and injuring two others, is recovering at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

Charles “Chuck” Russell, 73, of Nordland, on Marrowstone Island, was moved out of intensive care Sept. 24. As of Sept. 29, he was listed as a Harborview patient in satisfactory condition.

Russell’s most serious injuries were four broken ribs, a broken arm and a dislocated shoulder, said Jill Buhler, who serves with Russell on the Jefferson County Hospital District 2 board of commissioners. Buhler said the Russell family authorized her to speak on their behalf.

“His thoughts are with the other people who were in the accident,” Buhler said. “It’s a tragedy for all concerned.”

THE ELECTION It is not yet clear when

Russell might return home, return to work at his business in Port Hadlock or return to hospital commission meetings, although Buhler said Russell does intend to resume his re-election campaign.

Russell is seeking another six-year term on the elected board that oversees Jefferson Healthcare.

“Chuck looks forward to being able to complete his term and to being elected to another term,” Buhler told the Leader Sept. 24 while at a candidate forum in Quilcene.

Russell and election opponent Kees Kolff of Port Townsend were slated to appear Sept. 24 at the forum, along with hospital board incumbent Mari Dressler and her opponent, Paul Stafford.

Neither Russell nor Kolff attended.

Early Thursday afternoon, Kolff issued a statement by email that read, in part, “In light of this event I am suspending my hospital commissioner campaign as we wait for further information. I also send my prayers to all of the families affected by this tragic accident.”

The Russell campaign called Kolff’s statement “very commendable.”

Kolff on Sept. 28 announced, that after speaking with Russell the previous day, and wishing him well toward

a speedy recovery, Kolff was resuming his campaign.

Hospital district candidates had already apat Chuck Russell peared forums on Sept. 21 in Port Townsend and on Marrowstone Island; and on Sept.

22 in Port Townsend. The two races had been added to the Sept. 24 forum in Quilcene originally intended to host candidates for the Quilcene School Board and for Port of Port Townsend commissioner.

The Quilcene forum’s host explained to attendees why Russell and Kolff were not in attendance.

THE ACCIDENT Russell was returning to Marrowstone Island from Kitsap County, said Buhler.

He prefers as some locals do to use the Center Road exit from SR 104, she said, rather than the SR 19 (Beaver Valley Road) exit while en route to his next turnoff at the Chimacum crossroads.

“He was on his way home,” Buhler said of Russell. “He does not remember what happened.”

The collision occurred within 1 mile west of the SR 19 exit at about 2:26 p.m.

Sept. 23. Specifically, according to the state patrol, the collision occurred at milepost 7.9.

The SR 19 exit is at milepost 8.6 along SR 104.

Based on investigative paint marks at the accident scene, it appears Russell’s vehicle did not navigate a slight turn to the right at that point in the two-lane highway. The marks indicate the westbound vehicle crossed into the eastbound lane. The speed limit in that section is 60 mph.

“There are no answers at this point on why he crossed the centerline,” Winger said.

“We may never know exactly why.”

There were no obvious indicators at the accident scene, Winger noted. “We don’t believe there was impairment,” Winger said, because a trained specialist was part of the accident response. “We made that call that day.”

Legally, law enforcement would need to find that a driver had disregard for the safety of others in order for prosecutors to pursue a felony charge such as vehicular manslaughter or vehicular homicide. As an elected public official, Russell would be unable to retain office if convicted of a felony.

According to the state patrol, Russell’s westbound Honda crossed the centerline into the eastbound lane. Russell reportedly lost control of his vehicle, which struck an eastbound 2000 Dodge Dakota pickup’s passenger side, according to the state patrol incident report. Winger said it was not a head-on collision.

Robert Frank Dawson, 88, of Bainbridge Island, a passenger in the pickup, died at the scene.

Brett Frank Dawson, 54, of Silverdale, a passenger in the pickup, was injured; he was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center. As of Sept. 29, he was listed in “satisfactory condition” at Harborview, a hospital spokesperson said.

Pamela J. Thresher, 53, of Suquamish was driving the

pickup; she was injured and transported by ambulance to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton.

Three medical helicopter airlifts were summoned and arrived, although only two were used. The accident drew all available emergency re-

sponders from Port Ludlow Fire & Rescue, East Jefferson Fire Rescue and Quilcene Fire Rescue.

“Whoever wasn’t already on a call was there, except for Brinnon,” said Larry Karp, Quilcene Fire Rescue chief. “It took all our resources.”

Free legal advice offered Oct. 3 in Port Townsend On Saturday, Oct. 3, Clallam-Jefferson County Pro Bono Lawyers present the quarterly Jefferson County Free Legal Clinic event from noon to 3 p.m. at the Port Townsend Community Center, 620 Tyler St. This event is a free, drop-in, legal advice clinic open to the public that allows for people to address their legal issues in oneon-one consultations with volunteer lawyers.

Event is intended to help those otherwise unable to financially access an attorney, but is open to all who show up. Attorney volunteers are available

to answer legal questions, direct people to local services that might be able to assist them and to explain the legal process to them.

Volunteers can answer questions regarding family law, tenant/landlord, public assistance, estate, bankruptcy, employment and creditor issues.

It is anticipated that demand for this clinic will be high, so it is recommended that attendees arrive on time to ensure being seen. For questions, contact Executive Director Shauna Rogers at 360-504-2422 or email probonolawyers@gmail. com.

PT driver on SR 19 crashes while reaching for cupcake A Port Townsend man and child passenger were injured during a a single-vehicle crash Wednesday.

At 4:59 p.m. on Sept. 23, Dominic Jude Compton, 40, of Port Townsend, was driving a green 1987 Jeep Cherokee SUV northbound on State Route 19 (Rhody Drive) near the airport.

According to the Washington State Patrol, Compton reached into the back seat and attempted to retrieve a cupcake. The vehicle drifted onto the roadway’s east-side shoulder, and came to rest in the eastside ditch against a tree. Compton was reported to be injured, and transport-

ed to Jefferson Healthcare in Port Townsend.

A child passenger, Elizabeth Cline, was also injured and transported to the hospital. Both driver and passenger were wearing safety restraints.

According to the Washington Sate Patrol, the accident’s cause was driver inattention, and citation is negligent driving.

The vehicle was reported as totaled, and was towed by Northwest Towing. Traffic on SR 19 was routed to onelane, alternating, while the scene was cleared.

2 hurt in golf course plane crash

Thompson’s murder trial pushed to 2016

Two holes closed till wreckage is cleared

Swansonville man pleaded not guilty

By Nicholas Johnson of the Leader

By Leader Staff Two people suffered serious injuries when their single-engine Cessna 150 airplane crashed about 1:21 p.m., Monday, Sept.

28 into trees at Discovery Bay Golf Club, about 4 miles southwest of Port Townsend.

The plane’s engine had stuttered and appeared to lose power before crashing into heavy brush just north of the tee box on the golf course’s 17th hole, according to a press release from East Jefferson Fire Rescue (EJFR).

EJFR personnel arrived to find two occupants, a man and a woman, trapped in the wreckage. Both appeared to be in their 70s, though EJFR officials declined to release their names.

When found, the woman was conscious, but the man, who was piloting the aircraft, was not, according to Jefferson County Undersheriff Joe Nole.

The man later regained consciousness, Nole said.

Rescue crews used a Hurst Jaws of Life tool to free the man and woman before transporting them to ambulances, and then used a water and foam spray to neutralize the hazard created by leaking airplane fuel.

EJFR Fire Chief Gordon Pomeroy called in two helicopters from Airlift Northwest, both of which landed nearby on the 17th fairway about 30 minutes later. The man and woman were then flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

The trial of a Swansonville man suspected of murdering a La Push woman in July is now set for January 2016.

In Jefferson County Superior Court on Sept. 25, Evan Daniel Thompson, 33, waived his right to a trial within 60 days of his arraignment, which was held Sept. 4.

It was at that hearing that Thompson entered a not-guilty plea.

Thompson, who remains in the Jefferson County Jail

Emergency responders used a Hurst Jaws of Life to free a man and a woman from the wreckage of the small aircraft that crashed Sept. 28 on the Discovery Bay Golf Club. The aircraft may have had engine trouble after taking off from nearby Jefferson County International Airport.

East Jefferson Fire Rescue photos by Bill Beezley

Helicopters from Airlift Northwest used the Discovery Bay Golf Club’s course as a landing area to evacuate two people injured when the small plane they were in crashed Sept. 28 on the course.

About 20 minutes after his arrival, Chief Pomeroy conducted a conference call with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to share identifying information from the plane fuselage and details of the wreck.

Firefighters cleared the scene at 2:26 p.m. and turned the site over to deputies from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

Firefighters from Port Ludlow Fire & Rescue assisted with the incident

response.

Scott Erickson of Tailspin Tommy’s at the Jefferson County International Airport said he watched as the plane took off Monday afternoon toward the west. The golf course is just more than a mile west of the airport.

Erickson spoke with two people who had been golfing along the course’s 17th hole when the plane flew over their heads.

He said those witnesses saw the plane coming in fast as it tried to land on the fairway, bouncing

on $1 million bail, is now set to have his case tried Jan. 11-14, 2016. His pre-trial hearing is set for Dec. 18, with a readiness hearing on Dec. 4 and an omnibus hearing on Nov. 20.

Thompson, a 2000 Chimacum High School graduate, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of 20-year-old Virginia G. Castaneda, a 2013 Forks High School graduate. The Clallam County woman had reportedly been in a romantic relationship with the Jefferson County man.

A July 27 autopsy of Castaneda found the cause of her death to be asphyxiation by strangulation.

Prosecutor Michael Haas told Judge Harper July 28 that Thompson showed signs of “a mental health disorder.”

instead and again becoming airborne before striking a tree and descending into the foliage below. All the while, the plane’s engine was not running, the golfers told Erickson.

Erickson suspects the plane had engine trouble and also suspects the pilot may have been looking to land at a private airstrip just north of the golf course.

Instead, the plane ended up in trees about 300 yards south of the Larry Scott Memorial Trail on the public golf course’s north end.

Discovery Bay Golf Club manager Randy White said holes 16 and 17 remain closed to the public until an FAA agent inspects the scene and Erickson is able to remove the wreckage.

White was expecting an FAA agent to visit the course Tuesday. Erickson said he would collect the plane thereafter and take it to the airport.

A 62-year-old Quilcene man was stabbed early Saturday morning, Sept.

26, outside his truck parked near the Port Townsend Boat Haven, according to the Port Townsend Police Department.

Robert W. Matthews was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with non-life-threatening injuries, reported PTPD Detective Luke Bogues in a press release dated Sept. 26.

An innkeeper called 911 at 12:35 a.m., Sept. 26 after a guest reported a man with a stab wound was in a hotel room.

Port Townsend Police Department, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and East Jefferson Fire Rescue responded to find Matthews had been stabbed in his upper abdomen with a sharp bladed object.

Evidence at the scene and a witness indicated the knifing occurred in the

2500 block of Washington Street. After being stabbed, Matthews walked to his nearby hotel room with a friend. When the severity of the wound was realized, Matthews’ friend asked the hotel front desk clerk to call an ambulance, according to police.

The investigation into the incident is continuing.

While a suspect is not known at this time, the probe into the stabbing is currently focusing on people who know Matthews, and finding a motive for the assault.

People with information that could be helpful in the investigation are asked to contact Detective Luke Bogues by email at lbogues@ cityofpt.us or by phone at 360-390-4047.

From computer code to skin-on-frame boats App engineer Matt Hickey turns his talents to super-lightweight designs

By Scott Wilson of the Leader Matt Hickey is a software engineer with clients in distant places, for whom he develops apps and programs for cell phones and other technology.

Whether or not they know that Hickey lives on a sailboat named Madrone in Port Townsend is not too important in terms of what he produces.

But Hickey has always loved sailing, and has taken his affection for boats to a new level. He taught himself how to design an ultra-lightweight dinghy, built a number of them and started a one-man company called Hermit Cove Boats. He sells designs, not boats, and with a bent toward making them as simple and inexpensive as possible, and buildable using easily found materials. His kits provide computer-cut wooden frames, templates and clear instructions.

“Hermit Cove skin-onframe boats are uniquely designed to make them incredibly easy to build,” he noted.

“They don’t require any special construction guides, like jigs or molds. These are not craft boats meant to be pored over and lovingly varnished all season long. These are rough and ready boats that want to get out on the water.”

NYLON SKIN A strong but simple wooden frame covered with a tight and strong nylon skin is the essence of a Hermit Cove boat.

Almost any sunshine shows the ribs of Hickey’s various boat designs through the tough synthetic skin.

As a sailor, Hickey sailed to the Marquesas, a group of French Polynesian islands in the South Pacific, and all over the San Francisco Bay Area.

In 2012, he had the de-masted Madrone trucked to the Pacific Northwest, and in mid-2013 he moved to Port Townsend.

He sailed through all of the San Juan Islands, circumnavigated Vancouver Island, Brit-

Matt Hickey has launched a new company, Hermit Cove Boats, to market his designs for superlightweight dinghies. He sells plans and kits to those willing to put a little time into constructing a boat that weighs as much as a backpack. One design also can be turned into a waterborne tent for two.

“While they look good, the real value of skin-onframe construction becomes clear when you pick it up.”

Matt Hickey boat designer

ish Columbia, Canada, sailed with friends to Alaska, and did whatever was needed to get on the water and into remote places. When not sailing, he traveled by bike to equally remote places, putting in long miles. And he thought about boats.

In 2014, he designed and built what he calls a “camping rowboat,” which he named the Loon. This became his prototype of a wooden-ribbed, synthetic-skinned, lightweight rowboat. A tent cover can be pulled over it to comfortably sleep two in almost any kind of weather.

He developed the design on a computer, had a precision plywood frame cut and then attached the skin. In the end,

the 15-foot dinghy weighed 35 pounds, compared to the standard weight of even a lightweight manufactured dinghy, at about 60 pounds.

SUPER LIGHT “While they look good, the real value of skin-on-frame construction becomes clear when you pick it up,” wrote Hickey. “No need to strain, ask for help or use a winch.

Skin-on-frame boats often weigh less than a backpack.”

Who are Hickey’s customers? Well, he doesn’t have a lot of them – he’s just getting started. But he knows the type. It will be someone who has some skill with his or her hands, although they don’t need much. They can follow a design and instructions, and be precise in their measurements, although the kits in-

clude precut plywood parts.

They will love building their own lightweight boat.

“We offer kits, paper plans and PDF plans,” noted Hickey.

“The PDF plans include a detailed instruction manual, access to the support forum, and cutting plans in PDF formats.

The paper plans are full-sized, so that you can cut the shapes out of the plywood using the plans as a template. The kit includes the required plywood parts CNC (computer)-cut from marine plywood.”

Design names and sizes range from the Owl (8 feet 1 inch long, 4-foot-1-inch beam), a utility boat; Little Owl (6 feet 7 inches, 4-foot beam), wide and stable; and the Pacific Loon (13 feet 4 inches, 4-foot-8-inch beam), which can become a camping rowboat.

Boatyard pollution compliance workshop Oct. 10 at NWMC A free workshop on pollution prevention compliance while working in a boatyard takes place 9 a.m.-2 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 10 at the Northwest Maritime Center, 431 Water St. The workshop is designed for current and future contractors as well as do-it-your-

selfers to better understand boatyard best practices. The first half of the workshop begins at the Maritime Center.

The second half is to be conducted outside at the Port of Port Townsend boatyard.

PT Paper’s parent firm adds another company

By Scott Wilson of the Leader A Southern California company that produces corrugated sheets and cardboard boxes is the second major acquisition by Crown Paper Group, Inc., which early this year acquired Port Townsend Paper Corp.

Crown Paper announced the purchase of Montebello Container Corp. on Sept. 23.

The acquisition fulfills one of the primary promises that Crown Paper made when it announced the PT Paper purchase in February 2015 – that it was building a new pulp, paper and container board company with the PT Paper production facility at its base.

“The new owners have come in and have done all they said they were going to do,” said PT Paper spokesperson Felix Vicino, also Human Resources manager for the mill. “They have made capital investments into the mill, improved the infrastructure, improved safety and now are growing the business. It’s exciting and refreshing for the employees here.”

No purchase price for Montebello was announced.

Founded in the 1960s, it has been a family-owned enterprise that had been, in previous years, a customer of the containerboard produced

by PT Paper. It had presented itself as the last independent containerboard finishing company in California.

Montebello operates three facilities in metropolitan Los Angeles: a sheet feeder in La Mirada, a sheet plant in Santa Fe Springs, and a specialty sheet feeder in Pico Rivera.

The plants’ primary products are corrugated boxes, quality liners, micro flutes and floodcoating. The company has over 200 employees, according to its website.

Montebello President Anthony Salcido and Vice President John Salcido, brothers who took over from their father in 1991, will continue to

“The new owners have come in and have done all they said they were going to do.”

Felix Vicino PT Paper spokesperson

lead Montebello, according to Crown.

NEW CUSTOMERS

In a statement from the brothers, they said the acquisition by Crown would ensure the steady flow of quality container board produced by PT Paper for Montebello’s end products.

They also said they would benefit from the expertise of Crown Paper managers and executives.

“The Crown executive team is energized by the opportunity to work with the Montebello team,” said Crown Paper Group Chief Executive Officer Steve Klinger, who also led the purchase of PT Paper.

“We have immense respect for the Salcido family and the fine business that they have built over five decades. To them, we will bring our own track record of engaging employees in involved, productive and safe workplaces, and exceeding customer expectations.”

As part of the PT Paper acquisition earlier this year, Crown also purchased two box-making plants in the Vancouver, British Columbia area and two distribution centers farther east in Canada. The acquisition of Montebello is another step in what Vicino identified as a strategy of integration, in which the container board made by PT Paper is upgraded into value-added products by finishing plants also owned

by Crown. The Southern California market is one of the most lucrative in the nation for packaging materials.

SEVERAL CHANGES

Crown Paper has made several changes at PT Paper.

On March 25, 2015, Carr Tyndall was named general manager.

Tyndall came with 30 years’ experience in the paper business, much of it with Smurfit-Stone Container Group, a multinational company for which many current Crown Paper executives had worked.

Tyndall arrived from Summerville, South Carolina, and has implemented the new owners’ agenda of upgrading air pollution scrubbing equipment, oxygen injection to reduce odors from the settling pond, energy upgrades, a planned shift toward compressed natural gas instead of petroleum, and making worker safety a higher priority.

EARLY SHUTDOWN The mill has also worked to reduce its water use in response to the Olympic Peninsula’s water shortage.

One step in that is shifting the mill’s annual week-long maintenance shutdown, normally done in November, to next week. The mill is scheduled to be largely closed from Oct. 5 to Oct. 9, and during that time water use will be cut by two-thirds.

CROWN PAPER GROUP Crown Paper Group is a holding company for investments in the paper and packaging industries.

Its executive leaders have worked together in the paper and packaging industry for a century and a half.

Crown has the resources to invest in building businesses over the long term. It was created in 2015 by Lindsay Goldberg, an investment firm that manages $14 billion of equity capital with the goal of building longterm value.

OCT. 8: PORT TOWNSEND Port Townsend Yacht Club and Port Townsend Marine Trades Association sponsor a public forum, 7-8 p.m., Oct. 8 at the yacht club, 2503 Washington St. This forum features Port of Port Townsend Commissioner Position 1 candidates Diana Talley vs. incumbent Steve Tucker.

Tucker touts experience, leadership at port Port of Port Townsend Commissioner Steve Tucker is seeking re-election to his District 1 position in the Nov. 3 general election.

Tucker is completing his first term as one of three elected officials who comprise the governing body responsible for guiding the policy Steve Tucker of the Port of Port Townsend. He is being challenged on the ballot by Diana Talley, owner of Taku Marine.

“I am totally committed to the idea that the port belongs to every citizen of Jefferson County,” said Tucker in a press release. “I’ve worked hard to strengthen and diversify the Port’s activities, while making sure that every citizen has a voice.”

Tucker moved to Port Townsend in 1981 and worked at the Port Townsend Paper Corp. before establishing AutoWorks, an automotive repair shop he owned with his wife, Cathy, until their retirement in 2004. An avid recreational fisherman, he first became in-

volved in the port in 2009, volunteering as a representative of small boats in the development of the Boat Haven boat ramp. He represented smallboat interests on the A/B Dock redesign committee and as well as when he served on the 2009 Strategic Planning Committee.

During his first term as commissioner, Tucker said, he worked to improve port infrastructure by championing a comprehensive engineering study to inventory and assess all facilities. He supported the Point Hudson breakwater repair, as well as efforts to aid a Quilcene commercial district sewer project.

Feeling the need for more public involvement and transparency, Tucker takes credit as commission chair for bringing public comments to public workshops, instituting a “twotouch” rule, which ensures multiple opportunities for public input on port issues, and for spearheading development of a comment-friendly port website.

Tucker supported numerous capital and environmental investments critical to marine trade activity, including the construction of the new Trav-

elift pier. He worked to avoid litigation between the city and the port regarding Kah Tai Nature Lagoon Park property, worked to support the biochar stormwater mitigation project, and pushed for local installation of solar panels at the Jefferson County International Airport. Tucker said he was a key player in the voluntary no-anchor zones that protect sensitive eelgrass areas and shellfish beds.

Tucker supported the recent refinancing of port bonds, which he said saves taxpayers nearly $500,000, and noted that the port continues to pass state financial audits.

“The port is critical to the economic health of our community, and I will do everything I can to keep it viable and strong, while at the same time work to expand the port’s support for the growing agriculture sector and exploring new energy sectors of our County’s economy,” Tucker said in a press release.

Tucker is a member of the Marine Resources Committee, Washington Public Ports Association Environmental Committee, the Coastal Conservation Association, and the Puget Sound Anglers.

PUD budget hearing Oct. 5 No electric increase, but water, sewer could see adjustments Water and sewer customers could see a rate increase in 2016, but not electric customers, at least not in a draft 2016 budget proposed by Jefferson County Public Utility District 1 and up for review.

A public hearing on the budget is set for 5 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 5 at the PUD’s office at 230 Chimacum Road in Port Hadlock.

PUD Manager Jim Parker said the only rate increase in the current budget is related to sewer and water customers.

If approved, water customers would see a 25-cent-per-month increase in their base charge and a 10-cent increase per 1,000 gallons of water used. The increases would take effect in January 2016, if approved by a majority of the three commissioners.

If approved, sewer customers would see a base rate hike of $2 a month with monthly rates going from $26 to $28.

Water customers should have seen one last rate hike several years ago, but that was put off when the PUD purchased the power system from Puget Sound Energy, Parker said.

“We had discussion about a future increase for electrical, but not this year,” Parker said, noting that an increase would require consultants to return to talk to the board and there also would need to be rate hearings for that to happen.

“Our current reserves are still in good shape,” Parker said.

The draft budget can be viewed on the PUD’s website at jeffpud.org.

Kinetic Skulpture Race brings ❛Bugís World❜ New this year, water kourse racing on Saturday, Oct. 3

It’s the weekend for kolor and kommotion as only the Great Port Townsend Bay Kinetic Skulpture race can supply, with a twist.

New this year, the 33rd annual race is the first to have the water kourse undertaken on Saturday, instead of being part of the thrills and spills on Sunday, the main race day.

KINETIC KONTEXT Kinetic sculpture racing started in 1969 when Hobart Brown of Ferndale, California modified his son’s tricycle into a pentacycle, with some artistic improvements. A friend built another humanpowered art sculpture and racing was born. As the vehicles evolved, races grew to include mud, sand and water. Kinetic pilots must traverse the multi-terrain course without assistance.

The first Great Port Townsend Bay Kinetic Sculpture Race was held in 1983. It is the second eldest of a slate that now boasts 17 national races and five international races.

Port Townsend celebrates its 33rd year and stays “true” to the original race with its emphasis on complete silliness, kostumes, pageantry and great engineering, said event organizers.

A kinetic skulpture is a human-powered, artistically enhanced vehicle that must go through sand (Fort Worden kwicksand), mud (The Dismal Bog at the fairgrounds), float on water (Port Townsend Bay) and transverse hilly, silly neighborhoods. Some skulptures are engineering marvels

while most are a mixture of bicycle parts, styrofoam, duct tape, imagination and prayers.

The pilots, pit krew and entourage that accompany the skulpture dress in kostume and perform pageantry throughout the weekend.

Awards are given to each racer, whether they want them or not, but the most highly prized award is the “Mediocrity Award,” given to the skulpture that finishes in the middle of the pack. Bribes help, said event organizers, and kinetic racers and the spektators must be kapable of having fun without taking the event too seriously.

Mythical kostumes are recommended for kontestants and spektators. No crew members may operate under the influence, and all spektators – especially bicyclists, children and dogs – must stay clear of skulptures in motion. Spektators are asked to obey the Kinetic Kops..

“The fun thing about kinetics is all the silliness and the kreativity. But the koolest thing is that the krowd always gets their kinetic spirit on. We see kids dressed up according to theme and literally dragging their parents along to ‘oohhh and ahhhh’ over the skulptures. It’s a great family event!” said Janet Emery, Kinetic high priestess and president for life in a press release.

“This year’s kinetic race and parade theme is ‘It’s a Bug’s World, after all.’”

It is a two-day race with the water portion on Saturday and an altered street, sand and mud kourse on Sunday. To receive the highest points for art and pageantry; skulptures, racers and Kween Kontestants should dress in kostume with that theme in mind.

the door, with no advance tickets available. It’s a first come, first served event; with a capacity in the hall of 500. Cameras and video equipment are not allowed at the ball.

Kinetic Kops keep things in disorder during the annual kinetic skulpture race which komes to Port Townsend Oct. 3-4.

SATURDAY SCHEDULE The “kontrolled khaos” starts with the “wanna-be” parade on Saturday, Oct. 3.

Parade entrants line up at the U.S. Bank parking lot near the ferry terminal at 11 a.m. and at “low noon,” traverse Water Street to the Marvin G. Shields Memorial American Legion Hall. All are welcome to parade and to join in the khaos, although kinetic organizers state that no political messages or advertising are allowed.

After the parade, racers participate in a brake test along Monroe Street by the skate park, followed by the full water kourse.

Usually, Saturday is reserved simply for a float test, with the water kourse on Sunday along with everything else.

This year, the Kinetic Navy only needs to set sail once.

Racers show off their floatation and propulsion through the water with a dive into the bay using the Port Townsend Salmon Club ramp by the Northwest Maritime Center.

Often times, this is the first time skulptures have tested their floatation.

KORONATION BALL The Rosehips Kween Koronation Ball, is a 21-andover event Saturday evening that usually sells out. Come dressed in kostume to dance to the funkilicious tunes of Tubaluba, a horn and funk band.

The ball starts at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3 at the American Legion Hall, 209 Monroe St. Kween jontestants strut their stuff vying for the koveted Rosehips Krown around 9:30 p.m. and the koronation happens about 11 p.m.

Admission is $15 each at

SUNDAY RACE Skulptures assemble on Water Street by the American Legion Hall around 10 a.m. and are quick to “ham it up” for the krowd showing off their fabulous pageantry. The race with start with a “cheap shot” by some local dignitary precisely at “low noon” on Sunday.

The grueling race starts up Monroe to Lawrence, kornering by Aldrich’s Market.

Skulptures then race to a sand course at Fort Worden State Park, pedal hard to and through the mud at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds’ Dismal Bog, then back along San Juan Avenue and up to Landes Street for a brief break at Safeway, where fans can get an up-close look.

Then it’s off through the boatyard, and then along Water Street to the finish line at the American Legion Hall.

For a detailed map, go to ptkineticrace.org.

LET’S PLAY Each skulpture and pilot must pay a registration fee of $20.15 with each additional team members charged $10.15. Race organizers have been able to keep the kosts down, raising entry fee’s just one penny each year.

The Kinetic Konsortium and its group of merry volunteers thanks the local businesses that have again stepped forward to support this activity. If you have not yet donated and would like to, call Janet Emery at 360-3010376. Call her if you want to enter a skulpture or volunteer.

Bodony: Board members, shop space needed ▼Continued from page 1

Bodony has already visited a few local schools with two or three sculptures, and one of the students who saw him recently approached him and told him he remembered the visit.

“He got the bug to learn how to build stuff and work with his hands and his brain,” Bodony said, quoting the young adult as saying, “‘I never had any interest in anything mechanical until I saw you guys, and now I’m a builder.’”

The plan is not only to use kinetic sculptures to get kids interested – it’s also to keep kinetics alive. But like kinetics itself, mostly it’s for the kids.

The curriculum for the 4-H kinetics program is being put together by Robert Force of Port Townsend. “He lives here. He’s brilliant,” Bodony said. “It’s tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of his time.”

Bodony has been mentoring Ella Ashford, a Jefferson County teen, in robotics. “I try to keep up [with her]. I don’t know if ‘mentor’ is the right word,” Bodony said of his work with the energetic, accomplished young woman, who also built and raced her own kinetic sculpture last year.

“How many 14-year-old girls know how to weld?” Bodony asked.

With AEF, he wants to help teach welding and more.

He rattled off a list of skills learned through kinetics: “Woodwork, metalwork, design, fabricating, engineering, testing, breaking, repairing, breaking again, repairing again, redesigning it again.”

Building and racing a kinetic sculpture requires diverse skills, from “pretty much everybody,” Bodony said. “Artists, dancers, musicians, cooks, engineers, designers, builders, athletes, songwriters, lyricists, bookkeepers, accountants, secretaries. Everybody.”

BUILDING THE FOUNDATION Bodony is looking for board members for AEF. Secretary Steve Hanners and treasurer Diane Benskin have both served three years. “We need serious people who want to help our children,” Bodony said. “By serious, I mean they need to leave their agenda at the door.” He needs help with fundraising, policy setting and

other building blocks for the foundation.

“I never, in my wildest dreams, thought I would become this familiar with an IRS document,” he said of the 67page Form 1023 he prepared for AEF, which received nonprofit status in October 2014.

He’s put together a budget for a team of 15 people. That team is to drive all over the state, carrying sculptures on a trailer, visiting two schools each week, 72 schools each year.

“When we are [kinetic] racing, their minds are blown.

The children need their minds blown. They need to be excited about growing up and about learning the skills they need.

After they see us, they can’t wait to get at their geometry book.”

Bodony also hopes AEF can secure more shop space in Jefferson County where local youths can come to work on kinetics.

“We have these great kinetic sculptures. Our goal is to restore them, with kids helping as interns.”

He’s talking about the Magic Bus, a kinetic sculpture with enormous monster-truck wheels and a rooftop shaped like that of a school bus. “We’re going to build a new bus frame out of carbon fiber,” he said.

The existing bus “is made of steel. It’s made of boiled rocks.

Too heavy.”

His plan for AEF also includes making funding available for groups of kids that want to build their own sculptures, who complete a rigorous application process, proving they can do it and that they’ll have a place to store the finished sculpture.

RESCUE VEHICLES When Bodony saw his first kinetic race, his mind was on a 1982 airplane crash in the Potomac River that resulted in hundreds of casualties.

“All this started because I wanted to invent a rescue vehicle, which I did,” he said.

“I’m the inventor type, and when I came to Port Townsend in 1987 and saw my first kinetic race, my brain went off.

I said, ‘I’m gonna start here.’”

He built the Spirit of Muckle Flugga, named for the northernmost of the Shetland Islands, where R.L. Stevenson’s father and uncles set

of employees. They’re sold at the PT Farmers Market, Key City Fish, Seattle’s Pike Place Market and a few other places. Bodony’s family is from Transylvania, and he cooks with paprika. “Fresh is better than the dead storebought kind, and hot is even better,” he said.

The Mojo and PT blends include salt, and dried and ground garlic; PT blend’s salt is smoked. It’s recommended for popcorn.

The paprika is authentic. “Mrs. Strauss of Marin County drove up to find [Bodony] at the farmers market to get more and to thank him for preserving our national heritage,” said one of Bodony’s employees. “She’s Hungarian.”

a speed record building the lighthouse. “Muckle Flugga” means “burly rock.” The towering machine has four pilots and requires four pit crew members. “We’re dependent on pit crew to hand us things,” Bodony said, because the pilots are sitting so high up off the ground. Afloat, the Muckle Flugga draws 36 inches. The enormous wooden wheels float.

“This is not a bicycle race,” Bodony said. “The whole challenge is to come up with something that does all these different things.”

Muckle Flugga participated in several kinetic skulpture races, and now lies in repose on Bodony’s property. He has a large shop filled with sculptures in various states and related ingenious contraptions.

Parked on the street is the Magic Bus. It’s raced several times, with different themes and different pageantry.

“It’s been the Octo-Bus and the Space Cow Bus,” Bodony said. “I keep building these things to be polythematic, but it never works out that well.

Everybody knows the song [‘Magic Bus’],” he said.

In Bodony’s visits to

schools, he has also brought along the AutoCanoe, which is a tricycle side-wheel paddlewheel canoe. “It goes like stink everywhere but the mud.” The AutoCanoe looks basically like a regular canoe, but with wheels sticking out of the bottom.

“The Magic Bus is unstoppable in the mud,” he added.

An engineer and inventor, Bodony is also a magnificent teacher – his explanations are clear, grounded in the tangible facts; even when he talks about his pepper business, it’s evident he thinks like a scientist.

MAKING SPICE Bodony is known around Port Townsend as the maker of PT Blend, a spice mixture he manufactures and sells.

“Try it on jicama, watermelon, buttered cauliflower, roasted root vegetables,” he said. “The sugars caramelize on the surface of that golden beet, rutabaga or parsnip.”

His paprika, PT Blend and Mojo Blend are made of locally grown peppers that are smoked, dried, ground and blended in Port Townsend

by Bodony and a small group

MAKING MAGIC Before moving to Port Townsend, Bodony was a journeyman stagehand with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 15 union in Seattle, whose people “make magic for a living,” he said. He built scenery for the Seattle Opera and other theatrical groups, learning that the only limitation to what can be made is budget.

He recalled a remotecontrolled goose that he built with eyes that lit up, just one example of the outlandish, intricate and sturdy sets and props he often helped produce for up to four different operas at once, and coordinating with tech – costumes, music, lighting, orchestra – that brought it to life. His job was building sets and scenery, trucking them to the opera house, unloading them and putting them together.

“When we got done, it was plywood and steel. When they got done, it was 18th-century Italy.”

Bodony said he went from building “houses to banks to opera scenery ... and [kinetic sculpture] remains more challenging than any of those,” not because sand, mud and water exist in the natural world, and kinetic skulptures must go through them, but because they must be human-powered.

“This is no picnic. And I challenge anybody to show up on race day with something that works.”

OpinionForum editorial

A pretty good movie There was much to like about the 16th annual Port Townsend Film Festival last weekend – the organization, technical proficiency, flood of interesting people, sold-out venues, hundreds of volunteers, good financial news for the festival, guys pounding out piano music at two street corners, energy and grace, and generous engagement of movie makers and stars, both famous and hopeful.

And then there were the movies themselves, one of which I’d like to discuss.

It was called “1971,” and directed by Johanna Hamilton. Its subject was the general turmoil in the country during the anti-Vietnam War years, and specifically the small group of activists who conducted a well-planned raid of a small FBI office in the town of Media, Pennsylvania in search of evidence of FBI misdeeds.

I was a high school student at the time, coming up on draft age, keenly interested in the forces driving American politics, watching them from a small town far from the urban action. Those were formative years.

At the time, J. Edgar Hoover had been running the FBI (or its predecessor bureau of federal police) for almost 50 years. He tended to see grave threats to the United States from political opponents of certain U.S. policies, including Martin Luther King, Jr. In the anti-war years, this came to include hundreds of thousands of people trying to stop the Vietnam War and agitate for other changes in American life. Yes, this included radicals who advocated for the overthrow of the government.

The Pennsylvania activists thought the anti-war movement was being infiltrated by federal agents, spotting burly guys with military haircuts who grew a little facial hair and pretended they were leftists, asking a lot of questions.

Capturing FBI files might reveal more about what the FBI was up to. After carefully casing the Media FBI office, located in an apartment building, they picked a lock and broke in the night of the Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier “Fight of the Century” on March 8, 1971, when all of America was watching TV. Among the documents, they found directives for full-fledged infiltration of peace and civil-rights groups. They found references to an operation called COINTELPRO, or “Counter Intelligence Program,” that was fully unraveled by a later Senate investigation committee led by Sen. Frank Church of Idaho.

Turns out the FBI had been at work since 1956 to use infiltrators to forge documents, plant rumors or false reports in the media, conduct wiretapping, issue anonymous threats, run smear campaigns, advocate and push for greater violence or increasingly illegal acts, and do any other dirty tricks possible to stir up animosity and dissension that would discredit the political groups.

One of its most infamous acts was an anonymous campaign in 1964 to convince Dr. King to commit suicide.

Sen. Church’s Senate Committee’s final report noted: “Many of the techniques used would be intolerable in a democratic society even if all of the targets had been involved in violent activity, but COINTELPRO went far beyond that ... the Bureau conducted a sophisticated vigilante operation aimed squarely at preventing the exercise of First Amendment rights of speech and association, on the theory that preventing the growth of dangerous groups and the propagation of dangerous ideas would protect the national security and deter violence.”

Congress responded by putting laws in place to restrict FBI infiltration and spying tactics – laws that stayed on the books until the Bush Administration secretly wiped them away in the wake of the 9/11 attacks of 2001.

The Media activists did their best to get the national media involved. Copies of the documents were anonymously mailed to newspapers like the New York Times, the Washington Post and others, and also to broadcast news networks like CBS. Richard Nixon was president, but this was pre-Watergate. Almost all of the media outlets decided that these documents were illegally obtained and they would have no part of it. Most returned them to the FBI and cooperated in the investigation to discover their source.

Only the Washington Post, initially, took a different course. Publisher Katherine Graham and editor Ben Bradlee assigned their reporters to get responses from the FBI and started publishing. Other media then got on board and the whole sorry mess played out across the nation.

The Post’s decision on the Media papers was a critical turning point in the relationship between the media and government. Despite ridiculous pressure from the Nixon White House and the powerful and secretive federal police, the Post published. (The brambles blocking the path to the Watergate revelations of late 1972, much more famous, were hacked through by the Post reporters and editors who decided to publish the Media findings.)

When the FBI programs were revealed, Hoover was apoplectic. From there the chips fell where they may. Nixon started the process of getting Hoover to retire, but Hoover died in office in 1972. The new director, and those which have followed, have promised a bureau that would operate within the law, rewritten by the Church Committee.

As for the activists? They hid. Despite a full-court press by the FBI, undercover informants and all, some were questioned but none were arrested. It wasn’t until the statute of limitations had run out that they came forward and lent their perspectives for the documentary.

Those tumultuous years were formative for all of us who went through them. They have certainly shaped my attitudes about the dangers of any level of police – federal, state or local – receiving permission to engage in surveillance and infiltration outside the clear parameters of the U.S. Constitution. And they shaped my commitment to a profession of independent media that must speak truth to power when power slips the leash of legal or moral constraint.

In sum: I thought it was a pretty good movie.

125 YEARS AGO (1890) “One of the principal factors in the recent growth of Port Townsend has been the introduction of Eastern Capital and the influx of large numbers of people who have push and energy in addition to their money. Such people will sooner or later make their influence and energy felt in building up a city of magnitude and importance.”

“As the Umatilla was about to cast off her lines a young man was seen coming down the gang-plank, with a far away look on his face, his thoughts apparently dwelling on the farewell he had just given a departing fair friend; his foot caught, he fell on the dock, face down.

When he arose to invoice damages sustained, he found several of his pearly front teeth gone. His despair was something heart-rending to witness. The young man holds a prominent position in one of our leading banks.”

letters Bayside housing project mothballed It is with great sadness that I must inform our community that the Bayside Housing & Service board of directors and staff have decided to mothball the Bayside Hotel project. Bayside intended to lease the 33-room hotel building at the former Inn at Port Hadlock for seniors and veterans in housing gaps, domestic violence victims and others in need of affordable lodging.

While Bayside is ready to operate an affordable hotel for Jefferson County community members, the repairs necessary for licensing have not yet been completed.

These repairs are the responsibility of the property owner, and we cannot estimate a completion date. Bayside can no longer support fixed overhead costs waiting for compliance.

Bayside has incredible assets, such as talented staff, community relationships, skilled advisors, website and brand, reservation system, housekeeping and maintenance operational plans, emergency manuals, vendors, cleaning system and equipment. We plan to hold these assets with hope that our work can be utilized in the future.

We appreciate the support we have received in our effort to address our affordable housing crisis in Jefferson County by providing a temporary roof over the heads of vulnerable community members while we seek a more permanent solution. We hope to restart the project in the future.

JOHN CANTLON president, Bayside Housing & Services

Give the buses a brake; it’s actually the law Well, it’s happening again: I’m sitting inside a Jefferson Transit bus as it tries, in vain, to reenter traffic. I watch as an endless stream of cars whiz by and I wonder if I’m the only one in Jefferson County who knows that the Revised Code of Washington* requires a vehicle to yield the right-of-way to a bus signaling to reenter traffic or face a fine of at least $100?

Okay, let’s forget the law,

the fine or just plain old common courtesy here. There is a serious reason beyond all that to give buses a “brake,” and that is climate change. After years of being warned to reduce greenhouse gases, humans around the globe are now starting to see and feel the disastrous effects with even worse portents for the near future.

The next time you see a bus, consider that for every passenger inside there is one less person using an automobile. By giving a bus its lawful right-of-way, and thereby making them more efficient and convenient for people to use, you are not only reducing traffic congestion, you are helping to eliminate a portion of the poisonous gases being constantly belched into the air that you and I must breathe.

Think of a bus like that and you can see that being delayed a few seconds to allow one the right-of-way isn’t much of a price to pay for the benefits. * RCW 46.61.220: The driver of a vehicle shall yield the rightof-way to a transit vehicle traveling in the same direction that has signaled and is reentering the traffic flow.

Community contradictions The Leader reported about Officer Fudally arresting a young man for walking away from him.

Fudally had an 18-year-old “cadet” riding in his patrol car. A second officer arrived with a 15-year-old cadet riding along.

These cadets were allowed to join in the arresting of this mentally ill man. This night, the boys learned how to beat up and cuff a human being, but neither cadet was harmed.

Have you seen a dark blue SUV with barely visible gray scale on its side doors: “Port Townsend Police Dept.”? I asked an officer why this auto appears incognito. He said the community doesn’t like to see so much policing going on.

Thus the police department responded with pretense, by becoming less transparent. Is it true that the community has raised a ruckus about visible policing or is this line used to justify investment in a high-end under-cover SUV? Is this about image and public relations, or does the community truly feel overpoliced?

Townsend. The marchers raised $12,500 in pledges, about $2,000 more than last year.

“Thirty-two commanding officers came and went at Fort Worden until 1953, but three women have commanded the house for the last 14 years: Pat Johnson Monroe, Lucy Vane and Tess Gibson.” The trio was honored as founders of the Fort Worden Commander’s Officer’s Quarters Museum.

“The active adult community of Port Ludlow has again been named one of the 20 Best Retirement Communities in America, as rated by New Choices for Retirement Living magazine. The magazine lauded Ludlow’s mix of home designs.

New homes cost between $250,000 and $290,000; higher for custom homes.”

(Source: Leader Collection; Jefferson County Historical Society Museum and Research Center, 13692 Airport Cutoff Road, Port Townsend; Jefferson County Historical Society, 379-6673, jchsmuseum.org; jchswa.org, the online search site) Recently, a highly valued school board member resigned. She, in a moment of joy and gratefulness after an event for kids on school grounds, raised a glass of wine with her fellow volunteers to toast their success. Her action went against school policy concerning alcohol on campus. The only ethical action for her was to step down.

What did the students learn from their successful event and the subsequent resignation?

This Victorian seaport practices Victorian mores with “proper” policies and ethics for school board members. While down at sea level, 21st-century policing is like a video game with incognito patrols searching for aliens and bloody takedowns.

How do these contradictions reflect our expectations for our kids, the millennials, and for the future?

Thankful for Safe Routes to Schools Several years ago, Jefferson County Public Works Department began a project to improve pedestrian safety along Rhody Drive at the Chimacum School. The Chimacum Safe Routes to Schools project was completed this summer, with new sidewalks in front of the Chimacum Grange and at the entrance to the school.

Projects like this, with multiple landowners, multiple agencies and funding sources, can be a complicated endeavor. Not only did the project improve safety for kids going to school, it also enhanced the appearance of the road frontage at the Grange.

Thanks to Jefferson County Public Works, and project manager Eric Kuzma in particular, for their efforts to take on and implement these improvements.

Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader

perspective

election letters Tucker supports agriculture economy Agriculture is a very important part of our economy.

Steve Tucker believes the port could be supporting and enabling our food producers to a greater extent.

One way it could help that also would be revenue generating to the port would be to lease out land that is in the airstrip exclusion zone (where buildings cannot ever be placed) to a farmer for crop production. Additionally, beekeepers could place beehives there to help stem colony collapse. The port has a 25-acre industrial park at the airport that could be used for a wide variety of farm-related activities, such as cold storage, grain storage, a commercial kitchen, etc. These will require capital investment.

Steve has determined that USDA has funds available for feasibility studies and also has matching funds available for infrastructure. This is the kind of innovative thinking that the port needs.

Re-elect Steve Tucker.

TAYLOR WORTH Port Townsend

Diana Talley helps young people Four years ago I was given the opportunity to work for Diana Talley. That job changed the course of my life. Her meticulous training and encouragement led me to continue working in the boatyard, which has become my passion and second home.

Diana’s dedication to the county, boatyard, marine trades, and to helping young people break into this industry is incomparable. She’s given many I know the skills to succeed. Diana is my boss, teacher, mentor, mother figure and best friend. With relentless support and patience, I have become a confident professional and businessperson. Diana taught me how to start my own business, file taxes and always takes time to help me.

Diana will be an outstanding port commissioner because of her readiness to listen, passion, devotion and commitment for the mission of the port, and her love and uncompromising willingness to do what is needed for the job.

Port Ludlow’s strengths lie in its talented people

By Terry Umbreit Port Ludlow

Tucker has right background One of our port’s key strategic goals is to become a recognized leader in environmental stewardship. This is important to many of us. Our port testified before the Legislature for the eventual banning of copper bottom paint.

It is doing studies on using inexpensive biochar as a medium for removing heavy metals.

Preliminary testing has shown it to be very effective. This is the kind of innovation and community partnering that the port needs. (The biochar came from the PT mill, which may, in the future, be able to market their waste product – more economic development.)

Steve serves on the Climate Action Committee, the Energy Lunch (renewable energy) and the Marine Resources Committee. On the MRC, he worked to protect eelgrass beds near PT with very successful voluntary no-anchor zones.

His degree in biology has been a boon to the port’s environmental stewardship. Let’s re-elect Steve Tucker.

RON HAYES Port Townsend

Vote for Tucker I find Diana Talley’s indignation at Jim Pivarnik’s letter to the editor [Sept. 23 Leader] truly hypocritical. She had been making erroneous statements about port maintenance which directly impugned his integrity. Good for him for finally standing up.

And the ad that the port put into last week’s paper was nothing new; they do it periodically.

Please look through the paper and see all the ads that the hospital and the city do to maintain an information flow with the citizens of the community.

Thank you for speaking up, Jim. Vote for a man with honesty, vote for Steve Tucker.

“Sea to ForeSt” a larger than life mural by Alex Cook

Saturday, Oct. 3 • 5-7 pm The Business Resource Center (formerly Northwind Art Center) 2409 Jefferson St., Port Townsend

Each month, the LMC and SBCA host luncheons, receptions and potlucks. SBCA schedules musical presentations during the year.

The Port Ludlow Artists’ League features artists, exhibits and receptions. The Resort at Port Ludlow’s golf course has active leagues for both men and women. Each year, the Port Ludlow Marina hosts events along with the resort.

In addition to the activity level, residents are commended for their spirit of volunteerism. This was evident in the support generated for the restoration of the totem pole, along with the financial sponsorship of the holiday lights.

Other examples are maintaining the trail system, sponsoring health forums,and hosting events to support charities. The activity level and volunteerism are signs of a good place to live.

The last piece of the puzzle for Port Ludlow is the public facilities and services. Residents are definitely concerned about the age and condition of the amenities operated by the developer.

However, recent and future developments planned for Port Ludlow are encouraging. For example, the Ludlow Cove Cottages are being constructed and contracts sold. This is bringing new construction to the area along with the arrival of new residents.

The new Jefferson Healthcare Clinic has been announced with a completion date of 2016. This should triple the size of the current facility.

Recently, the developer announced a renovation and restoration of the golf course and facilities. This will occur over several years. Active Life Physical Therapy celebrated its 10th anniversary last Saturday and announced expansion plans. Finally, the developer indicated at a recent meeting that there might be changes in store for the Village Center.

These are all positive developments that should enhance the quality of life in Port Ludlow.

He is current president of the Port Ludlow Village Council.)

Fair Campaign Pledge:

As the current president of the Port Ludlow Village Council (PLVC), I would like to provide my perspective on the “state of Port Ludlow.” This overview is based on my experience in local government for three years, and a property owner for 16 years.

Despite challenges, Port Ludlow is a healthy, vibrant community entering an optimistic future.

In addition to the natural beauty of the area and the assets of a master planned resort (golf course, marina, hotel, parks, trails and community centers), the strength of the community is its residents.

Port Ludlow residents have skills, talents and expertise that they are willing to share. Over the past several years I have worked with a number of individuals on committees, events and projects. The involvement and supervision by residents permit the homeowner associations such as the Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC) and the South Bay Community Association (SBCA) to operate at a professional level.

The same holds true for the Port Ludlow Village Council, the legally recognized entity created to deal with the state and county governments as well as the developer, Port Ludlow Associates (PLA), in issues of community-wide concern.

The power and influence of local residents are apparent in their commitment to maintain their lifestyles and protect the environment. In particular, villagers have been vigilant about the impact of certain decisions made by the developer. One example is the recent timber harvesting issue. The negative reaction of the residents put pressure on Jefferson County to stop the developer from clear cutting. The above organizations put together a special committee to communicate with the county and other government organizations. The committee members’ homework and understanding of the issues created an effective advocate for the residents.

The creation of mechanisms to resolve conflicts is a positive development for Port Ludlow.

Life in Port Ludlow offers something for everyone.

One only has to read the Port Ludlow Voice, the village’s monthly publication produced by an all-volunteer staff, to gain an idea of the magnitude of the social and activity calendar. Some examples include the monthly activities of such clubs as the investment, book, garden, fly-fishing, stamp and hiking.

SEASONAL NEWS: The warmest, driest summer in years here was never the same after the strange windstorm Aug. 29.

The rain on Labor Day weekend seemed to chase away the hot weather for good (and many of the downtown gulls, too). This September may be one of the coolest here in recent times. “I woke up this morning [Sept. 26] on the island [in Jefferson County, that would be Marrowstone Island] and there was frost on the grass,” says an early riser.

“It was a great summer and now it’s over. Bang.”

ACCIDENT NEWS: Accidents happen.

Wednesday, there were three car wrecks within 15 miles of each other. Two of them were fairly minor; the other led to a fatality with three other people injured. There have been more fatality accidents in Jefferson County so far this year (six) than any year since 2010, according to my files. All you can do as an individual driver is be responsible and alert. It only takes a second to change lives, or end them.

ON ALERT NEWS: Wednesday, staff at a school alerted the sheriff’s office that a person who appeared to be staggering and slurring her words had picked up a child after school and drove away from the parking lot. Thursday, when

The technology provides three-dimensional images of the breast by using a technology similar to CT scans, or computed tomography.

According to the Jefferson Healthcare website, researchers are finding that Hologic 3D mammography combined with 2D mammography provides greater than 25 percent improvement in overall cancer detection rates, finding invasive cancers 40 percent earlier than conventional 2D mammography alone; better visualization of masses, distortions and asymmetric densities; and significant reduction in false-positive recall rates by up to 40 percent.

When I was newly married, my mother-in-law, Margaret, took me aside one day during a visit, and casually showed me the file in which she and her husband kept their end-of-life wishes.

She patted the wooden file cabinet, pulled open the drawer to show me the file’s location right in front, and then closed it, and we went on visiting.

At the time, I thought it was sweet to be included.

Later, I realized what a great gift they’d given their family.

Dealing with the decline of loved ones is an agonizing ordeal, and it’s made worse by having to figure out wishes using hindsight.

I appreciated Margaret, always kind and gracious, even more when the time came to carry out those wishes. She was stricken with Parkinson’s, and even though there were many choices to be made, the way was clear, thanks to her foresight. Although she wasn’t able to acknowledge any gratitude at the end, it’s endured far beyond her death.

ADVANCE DIRECTIVES Washington state recognizes advance directives, the written and oral instructions about future medical care made by a person for a time when he or she is unable to speak for himself or herself.

Washington state law specifies, in hierarchical order, who may speak for you when you can’t. First is a guardian with health care decision-making authority, if one has been appointed, then the person named in your durable power of attorney with health care decision-making authority.

Next are your spouse, your adult children, your parents, and your adult brothers and sisters. If you are in one of the last three categories and there is more than one person in that category, they must all agree. If your family has differences of opinion, it’s a good idea to make sure your wishes are reflected in specific documents.

THREE TYPES There are three different types of advance directives recognized in Washington state: a health care directive, a durable power of attorney for health care and Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment.

A health care directive, or living will, is for situations of terminal illness with no hope of recovery, such as irreversible coma, for which

Attorneys offer help with advance directives

The Clallam-Jefferson County Pro Bono Lawyers plan to offer a free drop-in clinic Saturday, Nov. 14 to help people complete an advance directive.

“Our goal is to educate participants about powers of attorney and health care directives and to give them the opportunity to leave with completed legal documents,” said Shauna Rogers, director of the organization.

“We did this in Clallam County a couple of months ago and it was hugely successful,” she said.

The event is from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Port Townsend Community Center, 620 Tyler St. Reservations are not necessary. On the day of the event, people are asked to bring photo identification.

Those interested can call Rogers at 360-504-2422.

treatment will artificially prolong life but not avoid death, and stopping treatment will allow a natural death. You and two witnesses who are not related to you and will not inherit anything from you must sign it.

A durable power of attorney for health care is for any medical situation in which you are unable to make your own decisions. It a legal document allowing you to authorize a person as your health care agent, someone who would have the same power as you to consent to, stop or refuse most medical treatment.

This person should know what you would want in various situations. You and two witnesses must sign the form, preferably with a notary present.

The Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form is relatively new in Washington. It helps people with serious illnesses to make their wishes known should they be faced with emergency medical situations requiring life support. The bright green form should be posted in a place where emergency personnel will see it, such as on a refrigerator or near a medicine chest, because it will be recognized as orders to be followed. The POLST form must be signed by both the patient and the attending physician, nurse practitioner or certified physician assistant.

is separate and does not require the other two. The Washington State Medical Association (WSMA) recommends that everyone older than age 18 has a health care directive and durable power of attorney for health care.

Compassion & Choices of Washington, a nationally recognized advocacy group for choice for the terminally ill, and improved treatment of pain and other symptoms, offers a durable power of attorney for health care and health care directive. This combination form is detailed and allows individuals to use any portion of it to specify their wishes in particular areas.

LEARN MORE All forms can be changed or revoked at any time, and are available free, by download at wsma.org and compassionwa.org or by mail.

The WSMA form for advance directives can be obtained by mail, with a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) sent to WSMA, Attn: Advance Directive, 2033 Sixth Ave., Suite 1100, Seattle, WA 98121.

POLST forms are also available (include an SASE) at WSMA, Attn: POLST, 2001 Sixth Ave, Suite 2700, Seattle, WA 98121. Take the form to an appointment with your attending physician to discuss it and your wishes regarding life-sustaining treatment.

Compassion & Choices of Washington’s advance directive packet includes additional information about advance planning, including how to talk to your family about dying. It’s available at compassionwa.org or by calling 877-222-2816 toll-free.

It’s not easy to deal with the death of a loved one. It’s not even easy to talk about when they’re in good health, but it’s worth it. When Margaret died, we knew just what she wanted. It was comforting to make that happen, and to focus on her.

That was her final blessing.

The day-long workshop is taught by Soul Collage facilitator and grief group facilitator Carolyn Cristina Manzoni, who is also a hospice/bereavement volunteer for Hospice of Jefferson Healthcare.

Participants must pre-register by Oct. 12 and pay a $10 non-refundable workshop supply fee.

Attendance is limited to ten participants.

“Death-related grief often leaves us in a place that is difficult to express in words.

Collage making can be a creative tool for accessing some of those hidden places and discovering insights into your healing journey,” said Manzoni, who emphasizes that participants do not need to have any artistic talent or prior experience.

To register for either workshop, call 360-379-9661 during regular business hours. More information at JeffersonHealthcare.org/ griefsupport.

In addition, a facilitated drop-in group meets 3-4:30 p.m. the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month.

No registration is required.

The bereavement programs and workshops are supported by the Hospice Foundation for Jefferson Healthcare, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Getting the word out about health

Krummes take lead in getting health information out to people

By Viviann Kuehl Contributor In the complex world of health care, it can be daunting to figure out just what physicians and specialists are talking about, let alone the best things to do for yourself at home, particularly as aging brings its own issues.

“It used to be that health information didn’t play that much of a role,” said Ursel Krumme, a retired nurse educator who co-chairs the Port Ludlow Village Council Health & Wellness Committee with her husband, Gunter Krumme. “People relied on the doctor to tell them what to do, and that was that. Today, it’s different. It’s an enormous field, and it’s changing rapidly. The system itself is changing rapidly.”

The 10-member committee is working to assist Ludlowarea residents in accessing information relevant to their personal health interests. It offers forums, support groups and written resources in the form of notebooks, available at both the Bay Club and the Beach Club. An online resource center can be found at plhealth.org/resourcecenter.

“We’re in the info business,” said Ursel. “We touch on a bit of education, but mostly we’re in the info business.”

“Getting patients to become assertive is the biggest challenge,” said Gunter.

“You need to advocate for yourself.”

Advocacy can’t be done without information.

MAKE PRIORITIES At its inception in 2011, the Health and Wellness Committee created a list of priorities. It has addressed weight loss, brain function, dementia, aging in place, palliative care, Medicare and other insurance, chronic illness, caregiver support, cancers, medical protocols, balance and fall prevention, cardiac care and rehabilitation, stroke, maintaining personal health records, physical therapy, exercise, elder care, health laws, legal documents, diabetes, finding appropriate facilities, continuum of care, publicity and outreach.

Along with the enormous amount of medical information that is constantly changing and growing, today’s challenges include logistics of health care.

“We look for reliable and valid resources.”

Knowing where services are offered and their organizational context is a challenge all by itself. For example, medical records kept by different institutions have been hard to locate and coordinate in times of need.

That is changing as regional institutions move to My Chart, a product allowing access to medical records for the patient as well as doctors in various specialties.

Putting you at the helm of your Healthcare

Jefferson Healthcare, Swedish, Providence and now Harrison are all going to be using My Chart,” said Ursel.

“Health care is getting so specialized. We hear one horror story after another about the difficulty of getting information from one doctor to another,” she said.

“Doctors here can refer to Seattle specialists, but they don’t send the information.

Communication needs have tremendously increased, so people still need paper documents or their own disc. It can happen that information doesn’t arrive in time for the appointment.”

‘FILE OF LIFE’ The Krummes advise getting personal and medical information together on a short list that can be easily accessed.

One format is a “file of life,” a boldly marked, red plastic envelope for refrigerator or wallet that contains a short form with relevant medical information. The form covers contact information for patient and doctor, emergency contacts, medical data that include conditions

and medications, blood type, past surgeries, allergies, health care proxy and living will information, insurance information, all on a single sheet. It conveys precisely what emergency responders and physicians need to know to start effective treatment.

“We look for reliable and valid resources,” said Ursel.

“When you are Googling, who knows what you get. There are a lot of clickable and free resources that our taxes are paying for, and people have never heard of.”

“A major concern is how to approach people, how to package the information and how to deliver it,” said Gunter.

Forums, large group meetings with expert presenters, have proven popular.

Support groups, smaller and with ongoing meetings, vary with the needs of residents.

is to meet one on one with people to focus on specific needs, said Ursel, something that can’t be done in a large group.

“We do navigation together,” she explained. “Some people get excited and start using the resource. I love this.”

This approach moves from relatively passive health and wellness learning to more active and engaged patient education modalities, said Ursel.

“It’s worth any effort to get the information out there,” said Gunter. “It’s wonderful what there is, but who’s going to get it out?”

“We’re all here for a limited period of time, because we’re all old, so a major

concern is how to establish a permanent structure,” he said.

The committee sprang out of a realization that although the PLVC had programs for recycling, trails, disasters and so on, it had nothing on health.

There is a commercial website, Port Ludlow Today, with a health component.

“They did an enormous amount of work, but it died two years ago because no one took it over,” said Gunter.

“You need workers,” he said. “I have a suspicion that a commercial site wouldn’t work here.”

The Health and Wellness Committee is doing a fine job with its volunteers.

Poetic Justice presents dialogue on health care Tharinger, other legislators to attend events set for Oct. 20, 22 in Port Townsend The Mandala Center for Change presents “Gambling with Our Lives: Healthcare Access and Affordability,” a “legislative theatre” event featuring the Poetic Justice Theatre Ensemble.

Two performances are scheduled: 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 20 and Thursday, Oct. 22 at the Cotton Building, 607 Water St., in downtown Port Townsend.

Admission is free; donations are welcome.

Open to all, this participatory event is especially designed for local people who have experienced challenges with affordability of and access to health care. Come and participate actively or simply witness the process. Audiences are invited to attend one or both evenings, which promise to be very different.

Legislative theatre is a unique and engaging way for regular citizens to solve problems and ultimately

propose policies in the presence of local legislators who have the power to create the change, said event organizers.

“My biggest concern regarding health care is access,” said Jenifer Taylor of Jefferson County Citizens for Healthcare Access in a press release.

“The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) didn’t fix that. Our doctors and dentists get paid so little under the subsidized plans that some of them can’t afford to take AppleHealth and Medicaid patients.

We need to talk about and work on this issue until things change.” And talking is just the beginning with the upcoming legislative theatre event presented by Port Townsend’s Poetic Justice Theatre Ensemble.

Never before done in this region, this event could be considered a kind of “town hall” with a creative twist to address real needs of local citizens around health care, said event organizers. Months

short play, audience members are invited on stage to offer solutions to the problems presented – on the individual, institutional and governmental levels.

A community dialogue then takes place, leading into the legislative theatre – a mock legislative session during which audience members may propose policy ideas and vote on those they want to see passed.

commissioners, and state and U.S. senators and representatives. So far, seven legislators have confirmed that they will be attending one or both performances, including Rep. Steve Tharinger, and more are expected.

The intention of this event is for the desires of the people brought forth in this creative community dialogue to inform and impact health care legislation, according to a press release.

“One thing we do well in Port Townsend is thinking outside the box and taking action to create the change

we want. Health care is no different. It’s not enough to vent our frustrations to a friend about what’s not working. Theater is a powerful tool for community dialogue, and this is one way we can put it to use,” said Zhaleh Almaee Weinblatt, member and trainer with Poetic Justice Theatre Ensemble, and codirector of the Mandala Center for Change with her husband, Marc Weinblatt.

Now in its 15th season, Poetic Justice is a multiethnic, multigenerational (currently represented by ages 18-75) troupe of local actor/activists that uses interactive theater as a tool for awareness and social change. A program of the Mandala Center for Change, the Poetic Justice Theatre Ensemble was developed as a local community resource to stimulate deep dialogue and invite positive action toward the creation of a more just and joyous world for all people.

“Breast cancer is where we have the most research right now,” she said.

Red blood oranges contain flavonoids, carotenoids, ascorbic acid, hydroxycinnamic acids and anthocyanins, which efficiently counteract the oxidative damage that plays a role in the development of cancer.

This smoothie is a rich blend of crushed citrus flavors and herbal fragrance.

All told, Chace has written around 20 books over the years. She has also written for magazines, including Better Nutrition magazine, Women & Cancer and Self.

She is looking forward to writing and producing “Nutrition Matters” for NPR, which launches this month.

Friend and artist Julie Read, also of Port Townsend, did drawings for “Turning Off Breast Cancer,” and those cartoons are modeled on her and her mother, Chace said That book also acknowledges the work of physician Sandra Poling, M.D., of Port Townsend.

When Chace tests smoothie recipes in her home, she enlists the taste buds of friends and family.

“I’d often have my mother and her friends over, so they’re in the living room tasting, too. It’s helpful to have other people’s opinions about flavor,” she said.

Her own favorite smoothie recipe is The Elysemo, which is named after friend Elsye Garling, a local jeweler who inspired the recipe.

“That’s what it’s all about. For me, the books, the radio show, the apps, the classes and my website are designed to help use this information right now to change the course of our own individual health,” she said.

Chace is hosting a free breast cancer nutrition class in November to show people how to get started.

By changing diet and lifestyle, she says, it is possible to change how we feel and how we function as well as reduce the risk for developing disease.

In short, change can happen now; it doesn’t have to wait 30 years for protocols to make their way into health care systems.

about cancer years ago. After she wrote “What to Eat When You Have Cancer,” the owner of Cancer Centers of American, whom she said used the book, asked her to develop nutrition protocols for his clinics.

After creating those protocols, she moved to Sun Valley, Idaho, and while there, did a program called “Nutrition Minute.”

It aired daily for three years.

In Sun Valley, she happened to rent a home from actress Demi Moore, who started sending clients to Chace’s private nutrition practice.

“I learned so much, because my clients could afford to do all the testing that I need to really get down to the cause of their conditions,” she said.

It was there that she was able to hire a crew to help her work on an app that is aimed at helping people when they are in the grocery store pick out foods that are good for them,

Inn Properties LLC of Port Townsend purchased the Inn at Port Hadlock for $852,000 in December of 2014. It had leased the 33 rooms in the tower (left) to Bayside Housing & Services, a nonprofit that had hoped to make use of the rooms for affordable housing, though operated like a hotel. Those plans now are on hold because the property owner discovered there were more repairs than he had anticipated. Bayside officials said the owner broke the lease by failing to prepare the facility.

Cantlon, that a long-ago business dispute involving Keister had prompted concern in church circles.

But both say they are committed to the original intention of using the inn to help people with housing challenges.

“I would never have gotten into this but to do affordable housing. We’ve had challenges, and now with the delay, but it remains our intention to use it for the purpose for which it was intended and that was to provide affordable housing,” said Keister.

“We knew we had to do some renovations, but it became more of a project than we thought it would,” Keister said.

Memorial bell ringing Oct. 17 at county courthouse Once every six months, the Jefferson County veterans sponsor a Veterans Memorial Bell Ringing Ceremony to honor the Jefferson County veterans and servicemen and women who have died in the previous six months.

The next ceremony is 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17 on the front steps of the Jefferson County Courthouse.

The public and elected officials are encouraged to attend.

The ceremony represents the nation’s deep gratitude to those who, in times of war and peace, have faithfully defended our country, said organizers. It is also an opportunity for our community to pay respect to our veterans’ families.

After all the names are recognized, a piper plays “Amazing Grace” and the Port Townsend American Legion presents a 21-rifle salute followed by a bugler playing taps. The Washington State National Guard folds and presents the American Flag.

Future of Oceans lecture series Oct. 11

A talk on using hexacopters to measure orcas in the wild is set for 3-5 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 11 at the Fort Worden Commons.

The presentation is given

by John Durban, Ph.D., of NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, California.

Hexacopters, which are small, unmanned aircraft, are used to conduct research on orca whales. By flying the hexacopters above the whales and photographing them, scientists can collect data on the whales’ size, growth, body condition and movement patterns to help assess their health and abundance in a rapidly changing ecosystem, according to a press release. Durban, a population ecologist with a primary focus on killer whales, has flown more than 60 hexacopter flight missions.

life in ludlow Business, beer and Barbara B.

By Ned Luce Fall means the end of celebrations, etc. – not!

Active Life Physical Therapy has been in town for 10 years, so it threw a party. BJ and I went down to congratulate Michael Haberpointner and his staff, and it was almost a town meeting with all of the folks celebrating. It was amazing, and the treats weren’t bad. We spent some time talking with Maggie Smith of Mats Mats. Back in 2006, before moving here, we spent a month renting a condo in Port Ludlow and went whale watching. Maggie’s daughter, Shelby, and new husband, Matt, were the naturalist and captain respectively of the Glacier Spirit, the whale-watching boat we took out of Port Townsend.

Of course this celebration brought to mind a couple of other successful businesses in town. Dana Pointe Interiors has been in business here for 20 years, dispensing good advice and products for the home. Sonja’s Bayside Barber Shop has been providing good haircuts and exceptional stories for seven years.

The first performance of the season for Port Ludlow Performing Arts was given by the entertaining five-member Presidio Brass, which played to an appreciative sold-out crowd last week. The group is composed of young and very talented trumpet, trombone, tuba and piano players.

Again, these performances are the best thing since canned beer. They are even better than the champagne with a strawberry served to commemorate the kickoff of Performing Arts’ 25th season. (Disclaimer: I don’t like champagne at all. I am not even a fan of Miller beer, the “Champagne of Bottled Beer.”)

It is Saturday afternoon, Oct. 10 in Port Ludlow, and you are looking for some non-college-football entertainment that would ben-

efit a worthy cause.

And, you could use a beer. How about the Brewfest by the Bay from noon to 4 p.m. at the Bay Club? All proceeds benefit the Backpack for Kids Weekend Nutritional Program for Chimacum Schools. The $25 admission charge gets you a bratwurst, some peanuts, some pretzels and some beer ($10 gets you designateddriver admission). Sounds like a bunch of fun.

During the early years of World War II, JapaneseAmericans were forcibly relocated from their homes because military leaders and public opinion combined to fan unproven fears of sabotage. As the war progressed, many of the young “nisei,” Japanese immigrants’ children who were born with American citizenship, volunteered or were drafted to serve in the United States military.

Japanese-Americans served in all the branches of the U.S. military, including the Merchant Marines. Barbara Berthiaume had an uncle who was a nisei and who may have been the first Japanese-American to die fighting in France. On a recent trip to France, she met Herve Claudon. As a result, Herve is at the Beach Club from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 12 to tell the riveting story of the “Lost Battalion” of nisei in Europe during the war. We are grateful for Barbara’s enthusiasm and persistence in making this happen in our community.

I got many positive comments about the Port Ludlow focus in last week’s Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader, which was sent to all Port Ludlow addresses. Gary Settle said he enjoyed it so much he thinks he might even buy a subscription.

Love a curmudgeon and have a great week!

LAURA PAULENE (POLLY) WESTDAL March 26, 1925 – September 16, 2015 Last residence Port Townsend, Washington

After a full and joyful life, the fragile remains of Laura Paulene (Polly) Westdal’s physical body ceased functioning on September 16, 2015 in Port Townsend, Wa. Polly was born on March 26, 1925.

When she was a little girl, she would go down to the big round house in Great Falls, Montana and see her father, William Voss, driving the big steam engine. Sometimes, he’d sneak her up for a ride in the cab which was against the rules and very exciting. Polly and her mother, Laura (Smith) Voss, could travel anywhere on the train for free and they often did just for fun.

Polly would always enjoy traveling.

When Polly was 13, she met a boy who was riding a bicycle with some other boys she knew.

He was wearing thick glasses which she thought were funny looking. He was Herbert Charles (Chuck) Westdal and they would start dating in high school.

Polly went to college and received a degree in English while Chuck was in the Philippines as an airplane mechanic during World War II. Upon his return in 1945 they were married and Chuck went to Montana State University at Bozeman.

The only life Polly ever wanted was to get married and have children. She had two, Jenny and Jon, and her family would be the center of her life.

In 1954, Polly and Chuck moved to Denver, Colorado. Polly’s house was always filled with happy children, her children and all their friends.

Polly and Chuck moved to a small summer cabin in the mountains outside of Denver in 1964. Chuck would remodel and expand it but for a year, Polly cooked all the meals on the old wood stove which was also the only source of heat. Polly started working at Ritcher/Robb Insurance Co. where she made many good friends.

Chuck was Curator and Lab Manager

of the University of Denver Physics Department. Physics graduate students were added to the mix of Jenny and Jon’s friends and Polly fed and entertained them all. Thanksgivings were always fun with sledding after dinner (and drinks) on a nearby hill in the dark. Polly loved a good party.

Because Polly liked to travel and Chuck liked to putter with anything mechanical, they decided to sell the mountain house, buy a boat and cruise around the Caribbean for a year. Having always lived far inland, neither of them had ever been on a sail boat.

After returning to Denver for a few years, Polly and Chuck moved to Seattle where Jenny was attending graduate school at the University of Washington. Jon and his first wife Libby (Elizabeth) also moved to Washington.

Polly became interested in history and genealogy and was a skilled researcher. She wrote many interesting accounts of her family. When they retired, she and Chuck traveled in their RV searching through old graveyards and county archives for genealogy information.

Jon and Libby had three boys who would be a great comfort to Polly after Chuck died in 1998. She never really recovered from this loss and began a slow decline. She continued to be very pleasant and in her last years was known for the glowing smile she greeted everyone with.

Polly is survived by her children Jennifer Westdal (Donald Teesdale), Jon Westdal (Cheryl), grandchildren Jon Westdal (Whitney), Steven (Cindy), and Ben Westdal (Cora Howell), and Great granddaughters Hayden and Rylan, Jon and Whitney’s daughters, and good friends Cavin Richie and Lorraine Hamada.

A private family memorial will take place at a yet to be determined date.

First Friday Lecture talks OPEPO beginnings Oct. 2 The Jefferson County Historical Society’s First Friday Lecture on Oct. 2 is “The Beginning of OPEPO,” Port Townsend School District’s K-8 alternative education program.

The lecture begins at 7 p.m. in the Port Townsend City Council Chamber, 540 Water St. Admission is free; donations which support historical society programs are accepted.

Those attending the talk hear from parents, teachers and students about how this

program began, the vision of public education that motivated everyone, and the challenges this program overcame.

The OPEPO program started in 1977 and is today based at Grant Street Elementary School.

Parents and community members began meeting in 1975 to look for a different approach to education for their children: Chris Jones Crubaugh and Connie Welch joined the discussion and development of the program as

teachers in 1976, according to a press release from the historical society.

Some of the people integral to this development were Donna Leckenby, Pat Yearian, Gae Pilon, Trina Steel and Peter Steel, among many others. The group began educating the school board about the progress of this program development over the next year, when the board finally approved the budget to open one classroom.

All are welcome to attend.

The 102nd birthday of Port Townsend Public Library’s Carnegie building is celebrated 6-7:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 9 at 1220 Lawrence St., Port Townsend. Admission is free and open to the public.

The party includes cake and beverages provided by Northwind Arts Center, and features the opening of an “Art in the Library” exhibit on the theme of Carnegie libraries.

Juried by Port Townsend artist and former gallery owner Max Grover, the art exhibit is to include artwork inspired by a broad interpretation of the theme of Carnegie libraries, such as free access to libraries, Andrew Carnegie, Carn-

egie library architecture, the Port Townsend Carnegie library and its history, philanthropy, reading and opportunity through education accessed in libraries.

The exhibit continues until Feb. 5, 2016.

The Port Townsend Public Library was established in 1898 by a group of community women. Between 1886 and 1919, industrialist Andrew Carnegie donated more than $40 million for 1,679 new library buildings in communities across America. By 1913, the Port Townsend community had acquired land at the intersection of Lawrence and Harrison streets, secured city funding, and received a grant from Carnegie to construct a

new building in keeping with Carnegie architectural design standards of the period.

The Port Townsend Carnegie library building, which opened on Oct. 14, 1913, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and on the Washington Heritage Register.

Northwind Arts Center and the City of Port Townsend have entered into an agreement whereby Northwind Arts Center is to exhibit art in the library in shows of three- to fourmonth duration in a program called Art in the Library.

Northwind Arts Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts center in the Waterman & Katz Building at 701 Water St., Port Townsend.

Habitat for Humanity helped by U.S. Bank Foundation The U.S. Bank Foundation has awarded Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County a grant in the amount of $2,000 for the Quilcene Neighborhood Revitalization Home Repair Program.

“From the beginning, U.S. Bank has supported Neighborhood Revitalization which has allowed us to repair 12 homes in partnership with Quilcene homeowners,”

said Jamie Maciejewski, Habitat’s executive director in a press release, “and for that we are truly grateful.”

Habitat’s Neighborhood Revitalization Program assists low-income homeowners with much-needed home repairs and preservation, and follows the same principles as Habitat’s new home construction, according to a press release from Habitat.

Families are selected based

on their housing need, ability to repay a no-interest loan, and willingness to contribute sweat equity. House repairs include energy efficient modifications, such as window and door replacements, and caulking and sealing to reduce air infiltration.

For more information about Habitat’s Neighborhood Revitalization Program, contact Michele Meyering at 360-379-2827.

SportsNews Quilcene proves a pearl for Oyster runners

By Leader Staff The sun was out along the scenic course for the 137 men, women and children who completed their chosen runs (or walks) in the trio of Quilcene events staged Sept.

26.

The 5K event drew 41 finishers, 29 female and 12 male. The 10K event drew 51 finishers, 31 female and 20 male. The half marathon drew 45 finishers, 28 male and 17 female on the USATF certified and sanctioned course.

The annual runs were staged at Worthington Park.

Proceeds from race fees support the Quilcene/Brinnon Dollars for Scholars fund and the “Count Me in for Quilcene” nonprofit organization.

Cameron Dorn, recently moved to Seattle from South Carolina, won the Quilcene Oyster Half-Marathon mens’ division.

“It was a good wake-up,” said Dorn of this first visit to Quilcene. “We came out to see Olympic Peninsula scenery. I got the real story on those hills.”

Dorn, a recent finisher in a 106K race in Romania and a veteran of the Boston Marathon, said he prefers local races for the lack of crowds and wait time.

Ann Armstrong topped the half-marathon’s female division in 1:42:51. Both Armstrong and Dorn won a $100 Jefferson Healthcare prize.

There were 92 men, women and children at the starting gate for the 10K and 5K runs Sept. 26 staged out of Worthington Park in Quilcene, plus another 45 who ran the half marathon.

Rules turn the game clock into a “running” clock when a team has a 40-point lead, which PT has triggered in all four victories, including a 52-0 Olympic League 1A win Sept. 25 against Coupeville.

“We did a lot of conditioning and running this week,” said PTHS head coach Nick Snyder after the Coupeville game. “We ran them incredibly hard. None of them have played a full four quarters yet. We know we’ll have to.”

This Friday, PT hosts Chimacum (0-4) with kickoff at 7 p.m. at Memorial Athletic Field. The Cowboys are coming off a 55-18 loss to Klahowya.

“I don’t have to get [my team] mentally prepared for this game,” Snyder said of the matchup with Chimacum. “It’s a rivalry game, it will always be a rivalry game, no matter the win-loss

so low, we call him ‘The Diesel,’ that he is so tough to bring down.”

With Coupeville’s defense stacked against the inside run, PT opened up the passing game.

“They had a defensive game plan I’ve been expecting people would do,” Snyder said.

“We’ve got a good quarterback and good receivers and if they are going to load the box, we’re going to throw.”

Quarterback David Sua had his best game as a passer, completing 6 of 8 for 116 yards and a touchdown. For the first game this season, PT did not allow a quarterback sack.

“Credit to the O-line,” said Sua. “I had time to throw.”

“No way we could be where we are right now without the offensive line,” said senior receiver Jacob Ralls.

record of either team.”

PT leads the Rhody Bowl rivalry 22-10 in varsity football games played since 1970. Most of Chimacum’s wins came in two distinct periods, 1988-1991, and 2010-2012.

The teams did not play in 2013, and last year, with the new four-team 1A Olympic League bringing two seasonal meetings, PT won by a combined score of 104-0.

PT’s unbeaten record was enough last week to have the

Redhawks ranked No. 8 in the statewide “power poll” of Class 1A teams. It’s the first state ranking for a PT football team since 2004, when the squad peaked at No. 5.

PT’s opponents are 6-10 overall this season, and none have a winning record.

“We’ve got to be humble, keep working hard, keep improving,” Snyder said. “One of these teams is going to punch us in the nose, and we’ve got to be able to respond.”

The Redhawks’ offense

responded early and often against Coupeville, converting third downs and scoring on long drives toward a 42-0 halftime lead. PT was up 49-0 at the 5:41 mark of the third quarter. Gerry Coker booted his third field goal of the season in the fourth quarter, and younger players saw plenty of action.

Fullback Wesley Wheeler rushed for 123 yards and halfback Ezra Easley gained 100, mostly on the outside.

“Wesley is a tank,” Snyder said of his 235-pound fullback and defensive end.

“When you can run the fullback in this offense, it opens everything. His pad level is

Coupeville to 46 passing yards and minus-11 rushing yards. Interceptions by Carson Marx and Easley gave PT good field position.

“This is a great group of kids,” Snyder said. “They are so much fun to coach.”

PT suited 26 players against Coupeville, which suited considerably more.

Snyder expects some key personnel to be eligible for Friday’s game against Chimacum.

Monday evening at Coupeville, the Redhawk junior varsity defeated the Wolves junior varsity 44-0.

Rangers ready to tackle Sea-Tac League season

By Patrick J. Sullivan of the Leader The unbeaten Quilcene Rangers start playing games that count – Sea-Tac 1B League contests – this Friday against the Rainier Christian Mustangs.

Kickoff is 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2 at the Kentwood High School, 25800 164th Ave. SE in Covington. Rainier Christian (1-2) lost its league opener to Seattle Lutheran, 54-6.

The Rangers (3-0) are coming off a 50-8 win against the Crescent Loggers.

The top three Sea-Tac teams advance to the playoffs, so every league game is important.

“We hope to go in there with a good, smart offense and

defense and see if we can tame their scoring,” said Byron Wilson, Quilcene head coach. “It’s a turf field, so we should be that much faster. And we are road warriors.”

Quilcene won on the road against the Loggers Sept. 26 in Joyce, turning a 0-0 first quarter score into a 22-0 halftime lead, and the 50-8 final.

“Crescent is huge,” Wilson said. “It was a great game for

Senior halfback A.J. Prater, in his first action this season, rushed for 230 yards on 16 carries with two touchdowns. Ace Elkins scored two TDs, Eli Harrison ran for one and tossed a 40-yard scoring

Defensively, the Rangers changed formations to keep the Loggers off balance. Harrison had two interceptions.

Wilson is pleased to have 28 players in uniform, which is more than most Class 1B programs.

“The future is so bright at Quilcene I have to wear sunglasses to practice,” Wilson quipped. “I’m in my reloading not my rebuilding process.

I understand fiscal responsibility and my achievements while on the board prove it: • By securing an anchor tenant at the Point Hudson property, we gained 30 new jobs and generated $1.3 million rental income every 10 years to spend on critical projects. Those rents allowed the Port to build an Administrative Building whose total costs will be recovered in 9.5 years, but that has a 50-year life. A triple win!

• Based on good stewardship and spotless audits, the Port attained Moody’s highest bond rating of A-1. With this rating, the Port refinanced one of its bonds and in doing so, saved $450,000 in interest. Real savings, real money!

• The Port is building a $480,000 boat ramp for just $150,000 due to grants funded by gas tax from trailer-boaters.

This is the kind of innovation that I bring to the citizens of Jefferson County.

Museum exhibit celebrates Tom Jay’s work Chimacum. Elements of the earth are melted down and reforged into beautiful works of art. Mythic salmon rise from fire.

This is the work of bronze sculptor and caster Tom Jay, who founded Riverdog Fine Arts Foundry. His work and the work of other artists who used his foundry are to be on display at the Jefferson County Museum of Art & History beginning on Friday, Oct. 2.

The museum is open during Art Walk and free to the public that evening.

Jay has been working with bronze for nearly half a century. Most area residents are familiar with two of Jay’s works: “Witness,” located at the Jefferson County Library, and “Heroic Chum,” the large salmon surfacing in the center of Shold Business Park in Port Hadlock. Jay’s public art pieces can also be found in Seattle, Issaquah, Mount Vernon and Bellevue.

Bronze sculptor and caster Tom Jay and his wife Sara Johani are pictured with “Starving Raven” Sept. 23 at Riverdog Fine Arts Foundry in Chimacum. The large bronze sculpture, which was cast in six pieces and welded together, was commissioned by Doug Joyce of Port Hadlock and is set to be featured in an October exhibit of Jay’s work and that of other Northwest sculptors who used Jay’s Chimacum foundry over the years at the Jefferson County Museum of Art & History. Photos by Nicholas Johnson

FIRST IN THE NORTHWEST In early 1971, Jay started the Riverdog foundry in Sumner, Washington. It was the first bronze foundry in the Northwest. Before that, work would have to be sent to San Francisco or New York.

Jay moved to Chimacum in 1973 and brought the foundry with him. Although Riverdog was now located down a long, winding dirt road, it wasn’t isolated from the Northwest art world. Almost every Northwest sculptor of note would make the trek out to Riverdog to have work cast.

The seed for Riverdog was planted in the mid-’60s, when Jay was an undergraduate at California’s Pomona College and heard the roar of a bronze furnace. Seeing the glowing red crucible, filled with molten bronze, being lifted out of

Bronze sculptor and caster Tom Jay, 72, of Chimacum uses sandpaper to remove steel deposits created through electrolysis from an untitled bronze sculpture created in the 1970s by Ed Dron, who mentored Jay in bronze sculpting and casting in the 1960s. Dron’s piece is set to be one of at least 32 sculptures featured in an October exhibit of Jay’s work and that of other Northwest sculptors who used Jay’s Chimacum foundry over the years at the Jefferson County Museum of Art & History.

The iconic Pacific Northwest poet Richard Hugo is being re-imagined through jazz and classical music performed by Wayne Horvitz.

The event begins at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 7 at Wheeler Theater at Fort Worden.

“It is Hugo’s enduring love of music, rambling and the places of the Northwest that inspired me to interpret his work,” Horvitz said.

Born in White Center, Washington, Hugo (19231982) crisscrossed the Pacific Northwest, Idaho and western Montana before settling in Missoula, Montana. His poetry recalls Northwest places, from West Marginal Way to La Push to the Union Bar Grill in rural Montana.

Horvitz composed his latest album, “Some Places Are Forever Afternoon,” in honor of Hugo, visiting some of the people and places that inspired Hugo. In the album, he ventures into progressively inclined acoustic jazz and ultramodern classicism in 12 compositions influenced by different Hugo poems.

“Having grown up in the culture of the ’60s, I am always fascinated by the writers, poets, painters and musicians who were the precursors to the giant sea change that happened in the ’60s,” Horvitz said.

“Hugo’s poems are inherently musical because of the way they sound, the way they read and the way they are structured. Consequently, the music is fairly structured, really instrumental songs, which is not typical of my work,” said Horvitz.

Written for septet, the music combines members of two of Horvitz’s most successful groups, Sweeter Than the Day and the Gravitas Quartet. “I have been thinking about putting these two bands together for a while.

These are some of my favorite musicians on the planet.”

Horvitz, 61, has gone from being a key figure on the 1980s downtown New York music scene (he was the first booker at the Knitting Factory in 1986) to a catalyst for another fertile scene, in Seattle over the past two decades (he founded Seattle performance venue The Royal Room in 2011). He is a professor of composition at Seattle’s Cornish College of the Arts.

Jay: A show of loaned pieces ▼Continued from page 1

(JCHS) to present an exhibit of Jay’s work started two years ago with Julie Marston, who was the president of the board at that time. “Julie had been a big fan and supporter of Tom Jay and collector of some of his pieces,” said Bill Tennent, JCHS executive director.

One of the first considerations for an exhibit is whether the JCHS collection can support the show or if much of the artwork will need to be borrowed. “If we’re utilizing our collection alone, then it’s a lot easier,” said Tennent.

None of Jay’s work is in the JCHS collection. “This is going to be a show of total loans,” said Becky Schurman, collections manager and exhibits designer who is co-curator of the Tom Jay exhibit with Steven Yates.

Because the exhibit was going to focus on the Riverdog foundry in addition to Jay’s work, it was decided that the work of artists who had cast there would be included.

A list of artists and their contact information had to be compiled. Sara Johani, Jay’s wife, brought in a very fat and well-used personal phone book that contained a mother lode of names and phone numbers.

Unfortunately, seven of the artists were no longer living, so that meant trying to contact their heirs or galleries to see if they could provide a lead to someone who might have a piece available for loan.

“Sometimes it ends up being a three- or four-step process,” said Yates. It’s a process that involves numerous phone calls and emails.

Once the artists were contacted and told of the exhibit featuring Jay, the response was very positive. “People have been really willing to share what they have, so we’re getting a lot of really good pieces from some very wellknown artists,” said Yates.

In his role as curator, Yates looks at all the pictures of the work artists have submitted and decides which pieces

would work best for this exhibit. “Space is limited, so we’re trying to have space for the work and not have it too crowded with a lot of big pieces,” said Yates. There will be more than 30 bronze works in the exhibit.

“There aren’t many exhibits that are bronze sculpture exhibits. This will be 95 percent bronze castings, so that in itself is quite unusual,” said Yates.

After the pieces have been chosen, JCHS staff and volunteers are to travel to pick up artwork scattered from as far north as Lummi Island and as far south as Portland. Finding and moving Jay’s work was an easier task, as it was in local collections.

RANDLETT PHOTOS Months before the work of locating and selecting sculptures had begun, Jay had a surprise for Schurman. In the dusty foundry office was a cardboard box. It was full of photographs of Jay at work on his large sculpture “Salmon Woman and Raven,” now located in Bellevue, which had been shot by Mary Randlett.

Randlett is considered to be Washington state’s foremost photographer. Her photos of artists, writers and public artworks have created a visual record of Washington art in the second half of the 20th century.

Randlett would travel around in her car with a sleeping bag and a cooler full of bologna sandwiches. This allowed her to totally immerse herself in her work when a compelling subject presented itself, be it the art world or a landscape. She appeared at Riverdog one day and said in her loud voice, “I hear you’re doing some interesting things here.” Jay’s response was, “Who are you?”

“Mary,” she said, “Mary Randlett.”

“She just took over ‘Salmon Woman.’ She’d come up any time there was a big shift in energy. When we were going

from a mold to some other part of the project, she’d come up and just be all over. And she documented. The photographs are phenomenal,” said Jay. “Mary and I became really dear friends.”

Randlett granted permission for her photographs to be used in the exhibit.

2-WEEK SWITCH Schurman and Yates won’t have access to the exhibit space until two weeks before opening, once the Thomas T. Wilson exhibit closes and the paintings are removed. The space will then be readied for the Tom Jay exhibit.

“The installation will be quite different from anything they’ve done before, because almost all of it will have to have pedestals, because it’s small, or be in vitrines,” said Yates.

Vitrines are glass-covered cases used to display artwork. Several will need to be constructed, but fortunately, furniture making is included among Schurman’s accomplishments. “Anything that isn’t in an old store case I’ve actually built in my shop,” said Schurman.

The “Tom Jay: Artist and Artisan” exhibit presents a chance to see not only the work of Jay, but that of a number of notable Northwest sculptors, all of it gathered in one place.

“Tom Jay’s work, in particular, was of very high-quality, and then a number of the other artists that he was able to work for have created really great works. It’s pretty remarkable that out in the woods, there’s these people making amazing art work.

It’s a remarkable achievement and that’s what we wanted to celebrate,” said Yates.

In conjunction with the exhibit, Jay gives a lecture on the bronze casting process, using slides taken by Mary Randlett. He will also be giving a bronze pouring demonstration at his foundry. Dates for these events are to be announced.

Beck: Sketch artist offers workshop ▼Continued from page 1

part of daily life,” said Beck, who lives on Vashon Island.

He’s teaching a workshop in travel-journal sketching on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at the Northwest Maritime Center (NWMC) in Port Townsend.

The $75 workshop, which is 10 a.m.-4 p.m., includes some basic techniques and sketching tips; “how to capture the essence of something,” Beck said. Participants also take a walk around town, finding places to sketch, then return to the NWMC classroom for a review. “The most important part” of the workshop, he said, is to “keep people motivated to continue to do it.” He suggests people “think of it as a legacy journal. Not only to enjoy while you’re doing it,” but also to leave something behind.

“Wouldn’t it be great if your grandchildren or great-grandchildren could look at it?”

A frequent traveler, he designed a cross-body bag just for sketching, which holds supplies and also turns into a portable easel. The field easel art bag is available at darsiebeckartist.com.

He hired designer and seamstress Madeleine Saenz to design the bags, and she made more than 1,000 of them in Port Townsend. “But she moved away from Port Townsend a month ago, and it really bummed me out.”

The bags have a plexiglass sheet in the flap that can be

propped up by a slip plexiglass arm, held in place by Velcro, which makes a solid surface for sketching while standing up. A pencil bag attaches to a Velcro patch on the shoulder strap, and there’s space for a sketchbook and water bottle.

“I became frustrated with having to find a place to sit down and spread out my stuff,” he said. When he’s “in a sketch-rich environment” like PT, he’s usually traveling with his wife, who would become impatient waiting for him, so he designed the bag to allow him to sketch on the go.

A selection of Beck’s enlarged sketches are going to be displayed at the Northwest Maritime Center, and Beck is available to chat during October’s First Saturday Art Walk, 5:30-8 p.m., Oct. 3.

Beck has been sketching since 1975, when he moved back to Vashon Island, where he was born. (He’s a nephew of author Betty McDonald, who cared for him as a child on Vashon.) He and his wife Christine, a potter and photographer, work out of their home studio on Maury Island.

He got involved with Vashon Allied Arts and began facilitating 12-week “Artist’s Way” workshops based on a book by Julia Cameron, which he taught twice at Centrum.

Since 2004, he has been awarded a weeklong artist residency each year at Centrum, which includes teach-

This October and November, Northwind Arts Center presents “Another Look,” a show of art made of recycled and repurposed materials.

“Another Look” is a juried show of two- and three-dimensional art made with waste materials, found objects and everyday items, which are repurposed and used in a way other than originally intended.

Juror Max Grover, an artist and illustrator living in Port Townsend, is known for his colorful, playful paintings and illustration work in many children’s books, including “The Accidental Zucchini.”

The show’s opening reception takes place 5:30-10:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 3.

Grover presents a juror’s talk at 1 p.m., Oct. 4.

Charged with light and color, Yates’ abstract paintings evoke the energy of plants, gardens and woodland settings. Yates has lived and painted in the Port Townsend area for many years. He holds degrees in painting that include a BFA from the University of Oregon and an MFA from the University of Kansas; has an extensive exhibition history; and has received a number of awards.

As a printmaker, Carrico relies on his surroundings for inspiration. While living in Alaska for 38 years, he found that the mountains always provided the beauty he sought for his woodcuts. After moving to Port Townsend, Carrico found the inspiration he needed in the Olympic Mountains as well as lighthouses and sea life. He taught art in Fairbanks for 20 years at the middle school level. Once he retired, he returned to the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, to complete his Master of Fine Arts degree in printmaking.

For this exhibit, Carrico displays “She’s Come Undone,” an original woodcut print with hand-painted detail, and “Moonstruck,” a 13-color reduction cut from an original woodcut print.

Port Townsend Gallery is located at 715 Water St. Visit porttownsendgallery.com.

An oversize chessboard outside the Cotton Building – known as the Peter Simpson Free Cinema during Port Townsend Film Festival weekend – was a popular attraction over the sunny late September weekend of Sept. 25-27. Here, Malachi Wray, 5, of Port Townsend moves his queen on Sunday afternoon with direction from adults seated on hay bales on the sidelines. The chessboard is the work of Michael Connell (Backyard Chess) of Port Townsend.

Audience Choice awards went to “Sweet Land” for best feature narrative and “Becoming Bulletproof” for best feature documentary.

The 16th annual Port Townsend Film Festival rolled last weekend, with splendid weather gracing three free outdoor movies, all-downtown venues, new padded chairs at the Northwest Maritime Center and acoustic paneling at the American Legion Hall.

This was the first year that passes sold out before the festival began, said Janette Force, executive director. Filmgoers were also able to attend on a last-minute

146065 9/30 CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND RESPONSIBLE OFFICIAL’S MITIGATED THRESHOLD DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE (MDNS) Description of Proposal: Quimper Village is a 28-unit residential co-housing development designed for seniors aged 55-years or older. The dwelling units, ranging in size from 910 to 1,335 square feet, have been grouped into eight (8) buildings with 3 to 4 units per building. Other structures proposed at Quimper Village include: a 2,960 square foot common house; three (3) garage structures, designed for 16 vehicles; a workshop; a 3 vehicle carport; a combination group storage/bicycle parking building; a garden shed; and a covered recycling enclosure. Access would be provided via a new public roadway extended north from F Street and a new private project driveway.

Each of the 8 residential townhouse buildings, located north of the common house and other accessory structures, will be accessed primarily via foot travel along an engineered fire lane; however, hand-operated carts and/or electric (golf) carts will be available for owners’ use. Public sewer already runs along the west boundary of the site and would be connected to for service. Public water would be provided into the development by extending from existing facilities that lie south of the site in F Street. Additional amenities are onsite and on-street parking spaces (including spaces designed accessible (ADA) use and for shared motorized carts); on-site stormwater management which consists of numerous low impact development (LID) techniques; on-site landscaping and nonmotorized pathway construction.

Nordland man to claim self defense in felony DV case

By Nicholas Johnson of the Leader Chimacum School District officials are closely following a Jefferson County Superior Court case against the high school’s head varsity baseball coach.

Andrew P. Lingle, 38, of Nordland pleaded not guilty to felony domestic violence charges July 31.

“He can have his day in court and we’ll follow and determine his fitness to coach when we have all the facts,” Superintendent Rick Thompson said, adding that Lingle was on a single-year contract, as are all school coaches.

Since then, Lingle has been charged with another count of second-degree assault and prosecutors say they plan to

Having posted $50,000 bail, Andrew P. Lingle appeared in Jefferson County Superior Court on July 31 for his arraignment. Lingle, a high school baseball coach, was arrested July 27 on felony domestic violence charges. File photo by Nicholas Johnson

seek an exceptional sentence based on a pattern of physical abuse over a prolonged period of time.

Lingle faces six charges – two counts of second-degree assault for strangulation, second-degree assault with a deadly weapon, harassment, fourth-degree assault, and interfering with the reporting of domestic violence. He plans to claim self defense, according to court documents.

Lingle, who was in the Port Townsend High School Class of 1995 and has coached youth baseball for several years, is next due in court Nov. 20. His pre-trial hearing is set for Dec. 4 and his trial is set for Dec. 14-15.

Jefferson County Sgt. Mark Apeland’s July report

documents several instances of alleged domestic violence, including one instance in which Lingle allegedly threatened to kill his girlfriend with a kitchen knife after she failed to make ice cubes quickly enough.

Lingle was arrested July 27 in Nordland and soon after posted bail of $50,000.

He has no prior criminal convictions, according to state court records.

In January 2014, Lingle was granted a protection order against his girlfriend, the same woman involved in the 2015 incident, claiming she had punched him in the face resulting in two black eyes, among other things.

In March 2014, Lingle asked the court to terminate that protection order.

The following list is not all encompassing. Much of the language reflects that of incident descriptions provided by deputies.

A Port Hadlock resident called JCSO at 11:56 p.m., Sept. 21 and wished to apologize for his actions during previous contact with a deputy.

A Port Townsend resident reported to JCSO at 12:10 p.m., Sept. 22 that someone had taken her cellular phone, and that GPS indicated it was likely at a location in Port Townsend. The resident was advised that GPS can give coordinates several hundred feet from the actual location of the phone and that she may have lost it in her storage unit, which is near the area.

At 4:07 p.m., Sept. 23, a Port Hadlock resident reported a male subject causing a commotion in Port Hadlock. The resident reported that the subject had been there all day, picking up rocks and talking in tongues.

The subject was contacted and advised that he should leave.

At 8:23 p.m., Sept. 23, a Chimacum resident reported

hearing a male subject screaming profanities within the neighborhood. A deputy contacted the subject, who advised the deputy that he had had an angry outburst while working on his car.

A Quilcene resident reported loud logging equipment noise at 5 a.m., Sept. 24. The resident was advised that such equipment does not fall within the noise ordinance regulations.

On Sept. 24 at 5:56 p.m., JCSO deputies responded to a report of a male subject ramming a Port Ludlow aid unit with a tractor in the Paradise Bay area.

Deputies arrived on the scene and encountered a 74-year-old Port Ludlow resident operating a backhoe tractor. The resident rammed an aid car against a power pole and attempted several times to run over the responding deputies. The man, who was yelling profanities and threatening to return to his house to obtain a firearm, was eventually taken into custody. He was booked at Jefferson County Jail and is currently being treated at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

substance.

Upon arresting Vail for driving with a suspended license, the county deputy noticed an odor of vinegar and a burrito-shaped object wrapped in cellophane in a bag. The deputy then got a warrant to search the vehicle.

During the search, deputies located 803 grams of suspected heroin, and 98 grams of suspected methamphetamine, along with several controlled substances in the form of pills.

The combined per-gram street price of the drugs is estimated at more than $100,000, said Brett Anglin, Jefferson County Sheriff’s detective. Heroin has a typical street price of $150 per gram in Jefferson County, while meth has a typical street price of $80 per gram, according to the JCSO.

Ravelo, who has not been held on bail, is charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to manufacture or deliver and unlawful possession of a controlled substance.

Defense attorney Richard Davies argued Sept. 11 that Vail’s bail should be better balanced with Ravelo’s lack of bail.

Vail is charged with third-degree driving with a suspended license, possession of heroin with intent to manufacture or deliver, possession of methamphetamine with intent to manufacture or deliver, and unlawful possession of controlled substances, including oxycodone, buprenorphine and methadone.

Vail was stopped by a Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputy at about 12:42 a.m. on July 22 along U.S. Highway 101 in Discovery Bay while driving a black Dodge Durango with expired registration tabs.

Vail had a suspended license for failing to pay a traffic ticket, and a Department of Corrections warrant out for her arrest related to an earlier charge of possession of a controlled

A Port Angeles woman found with $100,000 worth of illegal drugs during a July traffic stop in Jefferson County posted bail Sept. 11, then overdosed on heroin Sept. 13 before reporting to her Department of Corrections (DOC) supervisor.

Colette M. Vail, 35, was booked into the Forks Jail on Sept. 15 after reporting to her DOC supervisor earlier that day. Vail has been under DOC supervision since June 2014. Vail remained in the jail according to the inmate roster posted Sept. 29.

Brian Frazier, a community corrections supervisor for the DOC’s Port Angeles and Port Hadlock field offices, said Vail was supposed to report Sept. 14.

“She was required to report on Monday and did not,” said Frazier on Sept.

17. “We were in the process of issuing a warrant but she came in on Tuesday morning so we canceled it.”

ferson County Superior Court for a scheduled hearing on Sept. 16.

As a result, Judge Harper reset her bail to $200,000, issued a warrant and struck her court dates.

Frazier said she must appear for an administrative DOC hearing, which would likely be held within two weeks, before she would be released back into Jefferson County’s custody. He said Vail would not be held in DOC custody for more than 30 days.

When she returns to Jefferson County, she would appear in superior court to have her court dates reset.

On Sept. 11, Judge Harper joined Vail’s case with that of Marlen Ravelo, 47, of Port Angeles, who was a front-seat passenger during the traffic stop in which she and Vail were arrested.

That meant Vail and Ravelo’s court dates were synced up, resulting in a pre-trial date of Nov. 20 and trial dates of Nov. 30 through Dec. 2.

Julie Trejo, Jefferson County Deputy Prosecutor, said those dates would likely remain the same when they are reset.

EducationNews Chimacum Safe Routes to School Project completed A ribbon-cutting celebration for the completed Chimacum Safe Routes to School Project takes place 3-4 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 1 at the Chimacum High School campus.

Eric Kuzma and Monte Reinders of Jefferson County Public Works, District 2 County Commissioner David Sullivan, Chimacum School District Superintendent Rick Thompson and Kees Kolff of The ReCyclery are slated to attend.

The goal of the Chimacum Safe Routes to School Project, completed by Jefferson County Department of Public Works, was to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists accessing the school campus, according to a press release from the department. The improvements are at the intersection of State Route 19 (Rhody Drive) and West Valley Road.

The project’s goal was achieved through improvements that included upgraded crosswalks, pedestrian-activated warning signals, sidewalks, ramps, a

multi-use trail, improved transit stops, school zone beacons and additional signage. The grant also included an educational component intended to educate and encourage students to both walk and bike to school, according to the public works department.

The project also serves as the terminus of the Rick Tollefson Memorial Trail. The proposed trail is planned to connect to H.J. Carroll Park as well as the Port Hadlock and Irondale neighborhoods, where about 87.5 percent of thirdthrough eighth-grade students live. The Olympic Region of the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) had previously developed a top-10 list of priority improvements in school zones and ranked this site sixth in the region.

The cooperation of numerous stakeholders contributed to the success of this project, including WSDOT, the Chimacum School District, the Chimacum Grange, adjacent property owners, Jefferson Tran-

sit, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Jefferson County Public Utility District, and project consultants SCJ Alliance and the Clark Land Office. Contractor C&J Excavating completed the project construction, which was fully funded by a WSDOT Safe Routes to School Program grant.

Included in the grant was an educational enforcement component that was coordinated by The ReCyclery. The ReCyclery formed the Step on It! campaign, designed to educate and motivate students to walk and bike to school. Additional educational activities were made possible by contributions from many partners, including Jefferson County Public Health, Jefferson Healthcare and the Rotary Club.

Participants should park in the school parking lot and gather at the corner of State Route 19 and West Valley Road.

For more information about the ribbon cutting, contact Eric Kuzma at 3859167 or visit www.co.jefferson.wa.us.

PT Schools to celebrate National Walk/Bike to School Day Oct. 7 Port Townsend schools are joining schools across the country to celebrate National Walk/Bike to School Day on Wednesday, Oct. 7.

Walkers and bicycle riders

arrive at public schools at or just before 8 a.m. and leave at 12:50 p.m., as Oct. 7 is an early-release day.

Walk to School Day encourages a nationwide pedestrian/bicycle-focused celebration for students, and events help raise awareness for the need to create safer

routes for walking and biking, and emphasize the importance of issues such as increasing physical activity among children, pedestrian safety, reducing traffic congestion, and concern for the environment, according to a press release.

The event is being orga-

nized by each Port Townsend school with the help of Grant Street PTA, parents and teachers at Swan School, the ReCyclery at Blue Heron and students at Port Townsend High School and Jefferson Community School. Check individual school websites for more information.

Three third-grade classes at Grant Street Elementary are learning new math programs on their Chromebooks this fall, thanks to the generosity of the Port Townsend branch of the AAUW. AAUW’s 200 members advocate locally for women and education through many programs. According to Lisa Cartwright, K-5 math coach for the Port Townsend School District, AAUW purchased two computer programs, ALEKS and MobyMax, to provide students on-going math practice supporting the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.

Students are enrolled in the program that best suits their learning style, and the twice-weekly math experience – under the guidance of their classroom teacher and Math Lab volunteers – helps to individualize a student’s math experience via tech-

nology, according to a press release.

Student testimonials abound: Devon, a student in Lori Watson’s class, likes that, “It gives me practice so that I understand what I’m doing.” Two other classmates join in, remarking that ALEKS explains the math “really well” and that the two programs tell you “good job” when you learn something new.

A second component of the AAUW school program is small tutoring groups to support the development of math concepts in students.

Like the lab, this program has been in existence for a number of years and gears up again this fall.

Anyone interested in volunteering Tuesday or Thursday each week can contact Cartwright atlcartwright@ ptschools.org or call Grant Street, 360-379-4535.
