Bigfoot game players go green for prizes BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — A community game to raise awareness of the effects on the environment of everyday activities has drawn more participants than expected, according to an organizer. “I went from thrilled to worried,” said Bob Bindschadler, a retired NASA scientist now living in Quilcene, of the large num-
ber of people interested in participating in the Taming Bigfoot exercise. “People are eager to participate because they want to understand what effect their individual actions have on the environment and actually change the impact they have.” Sixteen teams of seven people each have been formed for the three-month project that will end in April. Winners are to be
announced at an Earth Day celebration April 22. The activity is organized by the Local 20/20 Climate Change Outreach Group, which is a subset of the Climate Action Committee formed by the city of Port Townsend and Jefferson County to cut greenhouse gas emissions to a point that is 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.

Armstrong to build boats, jobs Manufacturer takes up residence in Boat Haven BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — An aluminum-boat-building company has taken residence in the Boat Haven, with the eventual goal of creating 30 family-wage jobs. “We are a relatively new company, with our target to create a line of vessels for the recreational market,” said Cory Armstrong, president of Armstrong Consolidated, which moved in shortly after Christmas. It occupies a 20,000-squarefoot space that formerly housed Gold Star Marine, which closed in October. It pays the Port of Port
Townsend $8,000 per month, plus tax, on a month-to-month basis, with plans to negotiate a longer lease. Armstrong was a partner in Armstrong Marine in Port Angeles, which he formed with his brother, Josh Armstrong. Cory Armstrong said he formed Armstrong Consolidated so he could concentrate on efficiently building a line of welded aluminum boats. The boats range in value from $250,000 to $2 million and are 24 feet to 60 feet in length, Armstrong said. TURN TO BOATS/A5
