Fascinating People of Jefferson County

Wendell Ankeny: A spiritual leader Name: The Rev. Wendell Ankeny

Business COMMUNITY SERVICES

business

High school and class: Blue Earth, Minn., Class of 1952 Jefferson County resident since: 2000

Background: Grew up in a small Minnesota town and worked at his family’s bowling alley/roller rink/café beginning at the age of 12. Joined the U.S. Navy after high school. With his wife, Laurel, traveled to Belize as missionaries and built a church in Belize City. When he returned to that church many years later, a young woman presented him with a carved wooden boat and told him that he had been the one to baptize her at the church on his last day in the country, more than 20 years earlier.

What brought him here? Moved to Port Townsend to direct the Elder Hostel Program through Centrum at Fort Worden State Park. He learned that one of the community’s oldest churches, Trinity United Methodist Church, was closing and fought to keep it open. He has been the pastor for 12 years, and in that time, the congregation has grown from 12 to 150 members. He prides himself on having a warm and inviting church. “I don’t hit people over the head with a Jesus stick.”

His connection to community: “Feed the hungry, house the homeless, visit the sick and imprisoned,” he said, referencing the Bible. Taking care of people in the community and congregation is his focus.

What makes him tick? “I find great joy in everything I do,” from his church and community service work to hobbies that include woodworking, stained glass and beekeeping. He is on the local Habitat for Humanity board and is the lead chaplain of the Community Chaplains.

He’s still fascinated by: People. “This town is so unusual. Everyone has a story to tell, and I’m fascinated to hear those stories.”

Jefferson County resident since: 1990s, 2008-present

His background: Recognized as the most famous spoon player of all time. “I started playing spoons [as a kinetic percussion instrument] when my mom bought me a pair when I was 10 years old.” Began publicly performing in earnest in 1972.

Traveled the country and world playing at festivals, fairs, sport games (including a Seahawks half-time show and Sounders pregame show in 2011), schools, parties, concerts (including in the nude at the Town Tavern), and with musicians Frank Zappa, Jimmy Page and the band Soundgarden, amongst many others.

Daughter died suddenly seven years ago, and “it always plays a role.”

What brought him here? The Flying Karamazov Brothers. “We performed together all over, in England, New York, California. They lived at Arcadia. They created the Palindrome.” He moved there, living on his bus, in the early 1990s.

Returned in 2008 looking for affordable housing. “[Port Townsend] is really rare.

I’ve been to many countries, all 50 states, and I’ve always gravitated back here. It’s the weather; it’s the best.”

His connection to community: “I’m a citizen. An outspoken citizen. I’ve been called progressive. I guess I’m an activist wannabe … I’m just a loudmouth.”

What makes him tick? Love for the stage. “I love the stage, but it’s not all on stage. I write. I create. I just can’t afford to do it all.”

Still fascinated by: Children, music.

“I had a quick recovery, thanks to Life Care Center!”

Kathy Smith was admitted to Life Care Center of Port Townsend after falling at home and fracturing her back. She was admitted to Swedish Hospital where she was diagnosed with having suffered a stroke, which most likely was the cause of her fall.

In Kathy’s words: “My experience at Life Care has been just marvelous.

Everyone is so kind and wonderful to me. Anything I’ve asked for they do their best to do it right away. I have done a lot of rehab on my arms and legs to get stronger and on my balance. I can now walk on my own using a walker. The therapists have made me realize how important it is for me to do my exercises and walk, especially after I go home. If you have to go to rehab I definitely recommend Life Care Center of Port Townsend for everyone! I’m just amazed at the good care and great people working there.”

Fascinating People of Jefferson County

Leslie Bunton: Concerned citizen Name: Leslie Bunton High school and class: Lincoln High School, Ypsilante, Mich., Class of 1970 Jefferson County resident since: 1994

EDUCATION EMERGENCY/MEDICAL SERVICES

SWAN SCHOOL Creative, personalized education, including music, Spanish and the arts, since 1983. Preschool through grade 6 in multi-age classrooms. 2345 Kuhn St., Port Townsend, WA 98368 385-7340 Russ Yates, head of school Loida Robles-Santana, Marcy Stewart, Karen Akins, Melinda Pongrey, teachers

Her background: Traveled around the country after graduating from University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and ended up in Oregon. Got a teaching certificate to teach children with disabilities. From there she joined the Peace Corps and volunteered overseas in Tunisia and Botswana. While in the Peace Corps she taught children with disabilities and started the Special Olympics in Botswana.

What brought her here? She moved with a friend from Oregon who was looking for a place in Washington, and found a 5-acre property in Quilcene, where she lives mostly off the grid. She’s been here for 18 years, all the while working with people with disabilities. She currently works for Concerned Citizens. “My job is to empower people with self-advocacy skills.” Leslie also helps find employment for her clients.

Her connection to community: She participates in Quilcene community activities and bonding experiences. “I try to support local businesses in South County, like Quilcene and Brinnon.” She supports communities in East and South Jefferson County not only by frequenting businesses, but also by participating in activities in those areas.

What makes her tick? “The opportunity to spread the feeling that all people are equal and deserve to be loved.” She tries to make sure that everyone she meets is equal to all people. “I try to let everybody shine in their own way.”

Still fascinated by: People. “I’ve known a lot of people with disabilities. In Africa, I worked with children. In Oregon, adults and juveniles.” She is fascinated by their capabilities. “No matter how severe their disabilities are, or how people view them, I am still fascinated by people’s ability to learn, evolve, change and grow.”

What makes him tick? “I have three fields I have some insight into. Those are physics, psychology, and business. I take those three patterns and use those to see what might be possible. What I try to do is to connect the dots.”

Currently interested in technology as well as aquaculture and Puget Sound.

“The food chain in the water is broken.

We don’t have enough food for the fish. We need to agree on a restoration date, a date to restore the water.” He is interested in using algae as an energy source, and also hopes to help resolve the problem of bottom paint on boats being environmentally hazardous.

Name: Drew Elicker High school and class: Bainbridge Island, Wash., Class of 1971 Jefferson County resident since: 1977 His background: Graphic arts darkroom operator, printer, teacher, artist, painter, electrician, plumber, carpenter, bartender, collector (pencils, rulers, dice, slide rules, typewriters, printing equipment and clocks) and a maker of things. (Example: Drew made a handoperated device with gears and sprockets that counted how many hours children read books at the county library, where his wife, Pamela, works.)

What brought him here? “I was attracted by the old buildings and knew there was inexpensive studio space, and shortly after that, I got one of the first artist residencies at Centrum.”

His connection to community: “It is the whole idea of this place. We all have long historical narratives, but in Port Townsend, it’s a little closer to the surface; a lot of remnants of the past that are still here to guide you in a certain way and give you a certain balance.

In Port Townsend, there is this idea of historical adaptive reuse, which we can all gain from.”

What makes him tick? “I like making things. In the old days, you would find labels on things that identified the maker, and as a kid, I wanted to be a maker. In particular, I always liked clockworks, to see how all of the pieces were forged and put together in a correct way; it’s amazing.”

Still fascinated by: Sculpture. “Most of the art I have done has been twodimensional. I’m working with sculpture because in three dimensional [art], you see so much more.”

Name: Rosie Itti High school and class: Port Townsend High School Class of 2006 Jefferson County resident since: 1988 Background: Rosie has been managing the Little Rose Thai restaurant since it opened in 2008. Prior to that she spent two years in Los Angeles and received a degree in product development from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. She lived in New York City for a year, working as an intern at a fashion showroom in Soho.

She is continuing her education by earning a bachelor’s degree in fashion communications.

RECREATION Senior Services

PORT TOWNSEND SAILING ASSOCIATION Promoting sailing and racing on Port Townsend Bay. Mail: 1044 Water St., No. 204, Port Townsend ptsail.org

What brought her here? She moved back from New York City in 2011. She loves the sense of community in Port Townsend and was interested in being involved in and boosting the local economy. And of course, the number one reason she returned: “my family.”

Her connection to community: She was elected as a Main Street Program board member in January, attends events from the local Young Professionals Network, and started her own fashion business, Closet Space, an online clothing boutique offering “affordable, specialized clothing promoting local talent.”

What makes her tick? “I’ve always liked to keep busy and build my experience.”

Her motivation comes from passion and a really strong need to go out and reach her goals. “I just went for it. That’s the most important thing – not being scared of failure.”

Still fascinated by: History. “Specifically for fashion in general. People don’t think about how history, art, religion have shaped fashion. Even when you look at different centuries, there are different silhouettes depending on which monarch was ruling. That’s the most fascinating.”

Name: Sam Maynard

High school and class: Thomas A. Edison High School, Rose Hill, Va., Class of 1979 Jefferson County resident since: 2002 His background: Received a bachelor of science degree in aerospace and ocean engineering from Virginia Tech in 1984, before moving to Seattle to research and develop safe ejection seats for military aircraft for Boeing. Four years later, he left Boeing to pursue media arts, and for the next 12 years, employed his loves of music and technology through sound engineering, audio postproduction and interactive media at the Experience Music Project’s Sound Lab.

What brought him here? Moved to Port Townsend from Seattle to be with his then-partner and their newborn baby boy, now a fourth-grader at Blue Heron Middle School, where Maynard tutors math.

His connection to community: Upon moving to Port Townsend, he turned his attention to energy reform by converting motorcycles and boats to run on electric drive systems. “I fell in love with them.”

Through Energy Applications Research, LLC, he solicits grant funding to conduct research to inform energy policy and application. “I’m looking at the big picture, which boils down to political motivation and incentives. I guess you could say I’m an environmentalist, but I’m also a realist.”

What makes him tick? “I tend to go where the wind blows me. I am not a politician. I try to take a realistic, authentic approach to new discovery. My purpose is to be a bridge between dream and reality, between fantasy and science.

And I find it gratifying to make something that works the way I had imagined.”

Still fascinated by: Collective human behavior. “I need to master the art of working with a well-oiled team. I want to understand human behavior in the context of a team in order to accomplish more. I don’t always go along with consensual reality.”

Shirley Moss: Dedicated volunteer Name: Shirley Moss

SUPPORT GROUPS

Seventh-day Adventist Church at 2-mile marker on Dosewallips Road; and 11 a.m., Sunday, at the Laurel B. Johnson Community Center, Coyle.

High school and class: Redford High School, Detroit, Mich., class of 1973 Jefferson County resident since: 1994 Her background: After leaving Detroit, Shirley headed to the Caribbean, where she sold her own jewelry on the street.

“I call myself a chainmaker. That’s what I do. I make them in silver and gold.”

She also owned a jewelry shop in Maine, worked as a deck hand and cook on a tramp freighter, and has been a waitress.

She and her partner, Greg Root, have been together for 40 years.

What brought her here? After living in Ashland, Ore., she and Greg wanted to be near water. As for Port Townsend, “I like the energy of the place. I like the boat aspect, the water, everything about it.” While visiting one time, she read a wedding announcement in the Leader for two women. “Any town that would put a wedding announcement for two women [in the newspaper], that’s where I want to be.”

Her connection to community: She is the Port Townsend Food Bank manager, a volunteer job. “When I wake up in the morning, I know I’m doing something good with my life.”

What makes her tick: “All that matters to me is that my family and the people I love are happy and healthy. Other than that, I’m pretty simple.” Her mother, who was stricken with polio and died at 63, was a big influence. “One of the things she told me is it’s nice to leave a place better than you found it.”

Still fascinated by: The goodness in people. “I see so much good. And it’s delightful.”

Jan Tanksley: Military wife, helper of people Name: Jan Tanksley High school and class: Boulder City, Nev., Class of 1957 Jefferson County resident since: 1994

Her background: Child of a Hoover Dam worker, U.S. Air Force NCO’s wife (moved 13 times in 15 years), federal government contract specialist/purchasing agent for 30 years, real estate office receptionist (now at Re/Max First in Port Townsend), mother of three who also raised a grandchild, 14 years as a pet-sitter for select clients, disabled after multiple back surgeries, and purveyor of positive first impressions.

What brought her here? Settled in Port Ludlow’s North Bay area, seeking an active retirement escape from Nevada desert weather. “I love the climate. I love the slower pace, the clear air, the friendly people.”

Her connection to community: “I love the friendly people, particularly Port Ludlow and all the things you can be part of. They have helped me so much since my husband [Richard] died [16 years ago].” Jan also tries to live by the Golden Rule: “I treat other people like I like to be treated. That seems to work.”

What makes her tick? Keeping busy.

“I’m not one to just sit at my house and drink coffee with the neighbors. I have to be doing something.”

Still fascinated by: “The scenery, the sunrises over the bay at Port Ludlow. I am amazed at it all. And driving to work, every once in a while I go Beaver Valley and say to hello to the buffalo. I just love the scenery.”

Fascinating People of Jefferson County

Chauncey TudhopeLocklear: A social activist doer Name: Chauncey Tudhope-Locklear High school and class: Port Townsend, Wash., Class of 2006 Jefferson County resident since: 2001 His background: Received an associate of arts degree from Peninsula College upon high school graduation, then spent three years reading about Eastern philosophy, Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. while working at Ichikawa Japanese Cuisine – a time he calls “the fermentation period.” Disenchanted with day-to-day work, he decided to actively pursue his passions. Chauncey held a sign that read “Share more” on a local street corner. He conducted a daylong “peace walk” from Port Townsend to the Hood Canal Bridge and beyond. He also spent three years with the Boiler Room before starting the ReCyclery in 2007.

What brought him here? When he was 13, his family moved to Port Townsend from Lakewood, Wash., for a better quality of life. “If you value well-being, Port Townsend is way up there.”

His connection to community: “I was raised by Port Townsend, and its familial sense of community that breeds so much compassion and giving has influenced me most. Yet, Port Townsend has a lot of values that aren’t manifested. For example, why does everyone on a given block own their own lawnmower? I want to make positive action fun, attractive and sexy, but mostly fun.”

What makes him tick? Taking positive action for local social change, leading by example, forgoing instant gratification and measuring progress with smiles.

Fascinating People of Jefferson County

Dee Weinstein: Friends & family matter most Name: Dee Weinstein High school class of: Sto-Rox High School, McKees Rocks, Pa., Class of 1968 Jefferson County resident since: 1980 My background: Dee used her AA degree in graphic design from Toronto College of Art when moving to Boston in 1975 to work for a company that printed computer circuit boards used in touch-tone phones, microwaves and Parker Brothers games.

New to Jefferson County, she worked at Pacific Image printing some of the first Rhody Run T-shirts. Dee joined Admiral Marine Works to work the yacht Evviva , operated her own screen printing shop 1993-2003, and is now project estimator for Highway Specialties in Port Hadlock.

Along the way she and her female partner co-parented a daughter (Dee was in her wedding in September 2011), served as East Jefferson Rotary Club president, worked on many fundraisers for Chimacum School and made Rotary community service trips to Thailand and Guatemala.

What brought me here? “I was camping the Highway 101 loop and came down the hill into Port Townsend and it reminded me of Cape Cod and I said, ‘This feels good.’”

My connection to community: “I love my neighborhood. Everybody thinks that Irondale is so bad. The property owners here all want it to be a nice place, and it is.”

She and her partner, Cheryl Spector, make soap under the business name Irondale Supply Co. What makes her tick? “Friends and family. I have a chosen family out here that is very important to me. Not that we always get along great, but that is what family does.”

Still fascinated by: “The awe of the eagle. There is an eagle’s nest along my street. I hear them every morning. When I see one I know I’m going to have a great day, especially when I’m on my HarleyDavidson.”

It’s running as well as it ever has, thanks to their preventive maintenance and great service. We’ve been taking this car to Circle & Square for 12 years because we appreciate their communication style. The staff is always very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain the technical aspects and carefully outline our options. They really keep an eye on our regular maintenance, so we feel confident driving this car down to Oregon to visit our kids.”

Nehemiah “the get’er” done’r”

Josh “the Naturalist” Thanks to Josh our spiders are safe and we recycle with dedication. A protector of all life and an excellent mechanic, Josh brings skill and compassion to every job.

Other opportunities knock but his dedication to Dana’s and his love for the community keep him here.

Nehemiah gets it done. All of it! Since joining the shop at 16 he’s learned everything I can teach him about auto mechanics. But that’s not all, he also graduated high school and attended the Washington State Fire Academy where he graduated with honors. He now splits his time between his role as a resident volunteer for East Jefferson Fire Rescue and as one of Dana’s valued mechanics.
