PTHS joins global climate strike KIRK BOXLEITNER KBOXLEITNER@PTLEADER.COM

Locked out of a Sept. 20 student demonstration demanding a faster response to climate change, like-minded adults nonetheless stayed near and soon those outside the fence at Port Townsend High School and those inside were chanting in unison.

It was part of a global week of student protests headlined by 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who assailed inaction by the adult world. “‘You are failing us,” she told officials at the Sept.

23 United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York. After traveling there by sailboat, she unloaded on government leaders: “...young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us I say we will never forgive you.”

The Port Townsend action was organized by Students for Sustainability.

Before students congregated on the baseball field at the intersection of F and Fir streets, dozens of adults brandishing pasteboards and pickets arrived to cheer the students on, but were told by Port Townsend Police officers that only students

would be allowed on the field.

Moreover, because police officers were concerned with safety issues stemming from the adult crowds spilling onto the road on Fir Street, the crowds had to pack themselves tightly onto the sidewalks lining the fences, with many of them literally cupping their ears as they struggled to hear what was being said.

Student activists gathered in a circle in the center of the field, encouraging responses ranging from more public transport to low-meat diets to reduce humanity’s net carbon footprint to as close to zero as possible.

Although Port Townsend Mayor Deborah Stinson was unable to attend, she sent a letter of support that was read aloud by the students, who in turn recognized the number of adults on the other side of the fence who were in attendance.

“It seems like the older folks don’t care about climate change, either because they don’t believe it or because they won’t be alive to see it happen,” one student said, provoking the adults to cry out, “We believe it!”

& Joe” that would be attended by Port Townsend Police Chief Mike Evans, and with Kolff present, also gave a shout-out to “Motherload,” the documentary about the cargo bike movement.

“What’s interesting is the role that the bicycle played in the history of women’s suffrage, by affording them a greater degree of independence,” Force told Gordon.

When asked what’s compelled her to make the trek from Suquamish to Port Townsend for the better part of two decades, Gordon gestured around her and said, “You’re looking at it. It’s a welcoming community in a beautiful location, showing interesting, intelligent movies you’re not likely to see elsewhere.”

Gordon described herself as open to “whatever’s here,” although she confessed a fondness for “strong documentaries and nice narratives,” while Yanick’s interest in silent films was piqued by hearing about the short films of Lotte Reiniger on the schedule.

“Twelve Conversations” screenwriter Joshua Scott and director Emanuele Valla shot their film in Port Townsend, but this year marked the first time either man had attended the Port Townsend Film Festival in any capacity, even as moviegoers.

“Emanuele had used my songs for three of his previous films, so my first screenplay was for him,” said Scott, who hails from Poulsbo, while Valla comes from Italy. “I actually didn’t think our film would get into this festival, because it has pretty high standards, but we’ve both been to enough other film festivals to realize that this one is unique.”

From the multiple screenings of almost every film, to the ride they received from the airport, Scott said, “We’ve been treated like royalty, and my Italian friend here is in hog heaven.”

After about three hours of closed-door sessions, the Jefferson County Commission declared a moratorium on commercial shooting range development while it revises related ordinances a state appeals board has invalidated.

“This is the second time we have had to do a moratorium like this,” said commission chair Kate Dean. “I don’t relish having to do a moratorium nor having to revisit code, but it is an opportunity to look at it again and see if we can get it right in the eyes of the Growth Hearings Board and maybe fi nd some commonality within our constituents too.”

The Washington Growth Management Hearings Board, which rules on appeals of local zoning decisions, decided Sept. 16 to toss out ordinances the county enacted last December, saying the regulations did not meet the standards of the State Environmental Policy Act in regulating safety and public health.

The board was responding to an appeal filed by the Tarboo Ridge Coalition, a citizen group that argued Jefferson County’s shooting range rules were inconsistent with the county’s comprehensive plan goals and don’t adequately protect citizens’ expectations of peaceful rural life in Jefferson County.

The county’s six-month moratorium became effective immediately, but there will be a public hearing on the moratorium within 60 days. It stops “the submission, acceptance, processing, or approval of any Jefferson County permit applications for any proposed use, development, proposal or project for the siting, construction or modification of any commercial shooting facility.”

A moratorium was necessary to preserve the status quo while the county reviews the Growth Management Hearings Board’s decision, wrote county administrator Philip Morley in a press release sent out on Sept. 23. It gives the county time to consider changes to address the state board’s concerns, he wrote.

The executive session that preceded the vote on the moratorium included commissioners Kate Dean, David Sullivan and Greg Brotherton, as well as county administrator Philip Morley, civil deputy prosecuting attorney Philip Hunsucker, development director Patty Charnas and deputy prosecuting attorney Austin Watkins. Members of the public are locked out of executive sessions.

PT Film Fest rings in 20th anniversary KIRK BOXLEITNER KBOXLEITNER@PTLEADER.COM Twenty years in, the Port Townsend Film Festival gained a new locale to celebrate its anniversary toast Sept. 19, as filmmakers, film fans and patrons of the festival sipped from glasses and grazed on hors d’oeuvres during the late afternoon at the Port Townsend Vineyard’s wine plaza in the city’s downtown.

A few errant drops of rain failed to spoil the open-air festivities, as conversations gathered around fire pit tables and filmgoers such as Carleen Bruins and Craig Britton sought to plan out their schedules as best they could for the busy weekend to come.

The two have lived in Port Townsend the past seven years and attended the film festival for at least four of those years, with this year seeing them step up to host the visiting makers of the documentary short film “Grateful.”

“We’re just trying to figure out tomorrow’s viewing,” Bruins laughed. “We’ll worry about Saturday and Sunday as we get to them.”

Britton described their shared tastes in film as covering “a broad spectrum,” although he conceded their fondness for “controversy, environmentalism and comedy,” while Bruins expressed her appreciation for documentaries, as well as material that’s “thought-provoking and current.”

Port Townsend Film Festival Executive Director Janette Force and ReCyclery board member Kees Kolff were on hand to greet Molly Gordon and Miles Yanick, two Suquamish residents who have attended at least 17 of the 20 Port Townsend Film Festivals.

Trainees at an anti-abortion workshop got a quick lesson in political confrontation Sept. 20, when pro-abortion rights protesters showed up to demonstrate against the “Life Conference 2019” seminars.

Organized by the San Juan Baptist Church, the weekend workshop attracted about 85 participants and outside, some 40 protesters called to the site by a group of current and former Chimacum High School students objecting to the use of their school for anti-abortion advocacy.

The event was hosted by the Life Training Institute, a Christian-based anti-abortion organization, whose mission is to “equip Christians to defend their unborn neighbors.”

The event’s headliner was speaker Michael Spencer from the Life Training Institute. Spencer travels throughout the United States to speak at conferences and address students on high school and university campuses.

According to Spencer’s website, he “has a burden to awaken the church to the plight of mothers facing unplanned pregnancies and to the little ones they carry.”

He spoke at the high school auditorium on Friday night as protesters stood outside with signs such as: “Why are you pro-life until birth?” and “Rural abortion access saves lives.”

According to San Juan Baptist Church Pastor Noel Muscutt, the event was to help people have well-informed discussions about abortion instead of “emotional attacks and misinformation.”

But protesters of the event did not want it held at the high school.

“Chimacum High School is a state-funded public school and should not be endorsing or hosting political events, especially ones that will marginalize students,” wrote Quynn Tidwell, one of the protests’ main organizers.

Tidwell organized the event with another Chimacum High School graduate, Aubrey Ingersoll.

Hiker rescued after fall on Lake Constance trail

LILY HAIGHT LHAIGHT@PTLEADER.COM

Jefferson Search and Rescue, a team of all volunteers, rescued a man who fell nearly 30 feet down the difficult Lake Constance trail on Sept. 21, suffering multiple broken bones.

Aaron Brengle, from Seattle, was hiking with his fiancée, Caitlin Ford, when, according to Ford, he leaned against a tree that uprooted and slid down the rock face of the trail.

“He fell 15 feet before making contact with the ground, and then slid another 10,” wrote

Ford in a Facebook post. “I found him face down with his backpack ripped from his body several yards away, and the first aid kit bag ripped to shreds with no supplies in sight.”

She performed an initial assessment in which Ford found that Brengle was breathing, but not conscious. She could not tell if he had any broken bones, but there were no obvious internal injuries.

After situating Brengle the best she could, Ford ran down the trail and stole a bike that was left at the trailhead, so she could get to her car as fast as possible and get into range

According to the Washington Trails Association, Lake Constance route is considered the hardest hike in Olympic National Park, a scramble that “requires continuous attention and careful handwork in areas where a mistake could prove fatal.” Photo from Caitlin Ford’s public Facebook page

to call 911. According to Ford, he fell at around 3:30 p.m.

The bike she stole belonged to local alpinist Erik Kingfisher, who was out for a climb on his birthday. Descending, he encountered Brengle, who was lying to the side of the trail.

“It’s a really steep, sketchy, scrambly, difficult and dangerous route,” he said of the Lake Constance trail. “You have to go very slowly and and hold onto branches and roots in some parts.”

Kingfisher, certified in first aid and wilderness rescue, immediately began taking Brengle’s vitals and talking to him.

“I assumed he was a solo hiker and I was the only one who had seen him,” Kingfisher said.

Brengle was unconscious and breathing with difficulty at first, Kingfisher said. He adjusted him into the recovery position, which eased up his breathing. Talking to him, he noticed Brengle responding slightly.

Meanwhile, by around 5 p.m., Ford got into cell phone service range and called 911.

Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office contacted their volunteer search and rescue team, said Sheriff Joe Nole, who arrived at Brengle’s location at 7:30 p.m. From the scene, they contacted Whidbey Island Naval Air Station’s search and rescue helicopter team, who were able to hoist Brengle from the woody mountainside.

“The fact that they could pick him up through deep forest was a miracle,” Kingfisher said. “It would’ve taken 24 hours and 30 or more people to get him out from that spot without a helicopter.”

Brengle was flown to Harborview Medical Center. According to Ford’s post, doctors found he had fractured facial bones, a broken jaw, a broken shoulder blade, fractured vertebrae in his back, four broken ribs, a fractured wrist and was still unconscious.

“We will most likely be white-knuckling it

through this week,” she wrote on Facebook.

Ford expressed gratitude for the Search and Rescue team, who acted so quickly, as well as for Kingfisher.

“There was a hiker behind me coming down from the lake,” she wrote. “I had stolen his bike I later found out. He came across Aaron and stayed with him for 30 minutes. Took vitals. Wrote notes of his condition. Got him in the recovery position. Then rejoiced when he realized his bike had been stolen - because he assumed that meant someone had been with Aaron and was using it to get to help faster.”

“Even though he assumed that, he RAN” to the driveable section of the road “after already having an exhausting day, and being inconvenienced by not having his bike,” Ford wrote.

“Then he tracked down the Sheriff’s Office in Brinnon where I was to check on the progress.

He was the last person to leave.”

For Kingfisher, the incident highlighted the importance of first aid training.

“I hope this doesn’t scare anyone away from hiking,” he said. “But I feel like I was prepared to encounter that because of the training I had… I hope this encourages people to take some first aid training.”

According to Sheriff Joe Nole, the Jefferson Search and Rescue team is always looking for more volunteers.

“We couldn’t do what we do without them,” he said. “We’re really fortunate to have such a good group of volunteers that we trust.”

There has not been an update on Brengle’s condition yet.

According to Ford, they were both experienced hikers.

“We were not inexperienced,” she wrote.

“It wasn’t preventable. It would have been different had he been alone… Be prepared in nature, she always has the last say.”

LET’S GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME! DECEMBER 2018: The County Commissioners passed ordinances that removed virtually all restrictions on the size and scope of commercial shooting ranges.

LAST WEEK: The Growth Management Hearings Board invalidated both ordinances, ruling that they violated state law.

NOW: Let’s protect our rural Jefferson County for farms, fish, forests and families forever with the clear guidelines (aka “bright-line rules”) recommended by our Planning Commissioners: • No military or paramilitary training (only small, recreational ranges) • 500-yard setbacks from any public lakes • Sound barriers and security fences installed • No night shooting or aircraft activity allowed

LA W & JU ST I CE SHERIFF’S LOG The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received 320 calls between Sept. 13 and Sept. 20. Below is a list of some of the more notable calls from the week: At 9:16 a.m. on Sept. 14 a caller reported that her husband had passed away overnight in his sleep.

The 78-year-old male was found unresponsive in his bed. There were no suspicious circumstances, so deputies notified the coroner.

At 12:02 p.m. on Sept. 15 a caller reported that a dead deer had been left on her property “gutted.” The caller was concerned that it was left there purposely and someone was pranking her. She suspected a hunter who had an argument with her neighbor. The deputy marked the deer for pickup by the county.

At 2:35 p.m. on Sept. 15 a caller reported that his neighbor was threatening to kill him. The caller was being unresponsive to questions from the dispatcher. When asked if he had any weapons, the caller said he had “a couple of nukes.” A deputy arrived on the property and found that the two neighbors were arguing because one had filled in potholes with mud.

At 1:30 p.m.pm Sept. 16 a caller reported that two of her garden gnomes were stolen sometime that day. The caller suspected her neighbor had taken them. Her neighbor had told the caller to remove them because the gnomes were spying on her. A deputy went to the neighbor’s house and retrieved the gnomes.

At 3:27 p.m. on Sept. 16 a caller who is with a security company reported seeing someone packing out elk meat and trespassing on private property 5 miles outside of Forks. The Sheriff’s Office notified Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, who

deal with any instances of poaching.

At 5:48 p.m. on Sept. 16 the jail reported that an inmate being booked had snuck in a vape pen with CBD oil in it. The inmate was dropped off for arrest and refused a strip search. He was placed in a holding cell until he was ready to be searched. Later, he was found in the cell smoking a vape pen.

On Sept. 19 a caller who had stopped to take some photos near the Duckabush Bridge reported that she saw something that looked like a human hand down in the embankment by the road. A deputy went out to the location and discovered that there was a bear carcass that had been skinned and beheaded.

On Sept. 23 two deputies stopped a vehicle for an obstructed license plate, no seatbelt and suspicious that the driver had a suspended license. The deputy contacted the driver and recognized that both the driver and the passenger of the vehicle had been in contact with law enforcement before in association with drugs. After asking to search the passenger’s bag, a deputy found a set of brass knuckles. Then, a deputy gained consent to search the vehicle and found nearly 17 ounces in total of crystal meth. They also found $475 in cash, multiple scales, baggies and seized cell phones which confirmed that the two people were supplying meth to various people in the county. Both the driver and the passenger were arrested and taken to Jefferson County Jail.

City to equip PT police with body cams Dept. switching from dash cameras Kirk Boxleitner kboxleitner@ptleader.com The City of Port Townsend will shift from dash-mounted police cameras to body cameras to record arrests and other police activities.

Camera systems were developed to provide independent evidence at crime scenes and to assist with police accountability.

The City Council voted unanimously Sept. 3 to authorize the city manager to execute a contract with Axon Enterprise for the purchase and maintenance of a portable audio/visual recording system.

Police Chief Michael Evans presented the switch to body-mounted cameras as cheaper and more advantageous than a mere replacement of the department existing vehicle-mounted cameras.

Evans told the city council that, over a five-year period, the body-worn camera system would cost $85,078.51 for 20

cameras, whereas a new dash camera system would cost $93,161 for 11 cameras.

Aside from a more modest cost, the other benefits Evans cited included the ability of the audio/visual recording unit to travel with the officer, rather than being stuck in the patrol vehicle, and the lack of distance limitation from the patrol vehicle, since vehicle-mounted recorders fail to pick up audio past a certain range from the vehicle.

Evans also touted the body cameras’ eye-level recording, so that those watching the recordings “will see what the officer saw,” and noted that the recordings would be stored on the cloud, as opposed to the vehicle-mounted recordings, which currently require an entire server by themselves.

“Cloud” storage uses internet connectivity to upload recordings servers in a distributed global network of servers offered by companies like Amazon.

Although the police department still needs to hash out the exact details with its public records officer, Evans expects that recordings with no criminal or civil case retention value would be kept on the cloud for 90 days before being deleted.

In an answer to council member Bob Gray’s inquiries, Evans explained that Washington does not require police departments to maintain vehicle-mounted or bodymounted camera footage.

When asked about the body-mounted camera system’s “redaction” feature, Evans explained the software can be programmed to automatically obscure the faces of juveniles, victims and others for public records releases, whereas the vehicle-mounted camera system requires personnel to perform such redactions themselves.

Evans went into detail about the body-mounted camera system’s technology, which would be upgraded to all-new devices every two-and-a-half years, complete with warranties covering each such period, whereas a vehicle-mounted system would offer a five-year warranty with no upgrades.

Not only do the body-mounted cameras record in higher definition video, but their maker, Axon, is also the parent company of Taser, which allows the body cameras to integrate with Tasers.

Acting City Manager Nora Mitchell pointed out that a number of the vehicle-mounted camera systems being phased out, and the Teamsters Local 589, which represents the Port Townsend Police officers, has written a letter in support of the Axon technology.

Although Gray suggested retaining the existing vehicle-mounted cameras while also purchasing the bodymounted cameras, to provide a more complete context of footage, Evans recommended decommissioning the vehiclemounted cameras “immediately,” due the expense of their use.

Parks & Rec honors volunteers with cook-out Kirk Boxleitner kboxleitner@ptleader.com

Jefferson County’s Parks and Recreation Department paid tribute to the many volunteers who make its programs and services possible with a community cook-out at H.J. Carroll Park Sept. 18.

Parks and Rec Manager Matt Tyler credited volunteers with working 4,500 hours over the course of the past year, although he conceded that a number of volunteers work their hours without bothering to turn their paperwork in, so the actual number of hours is likely even higher.

“A lot of our volunteer work has been shifted away from day-to-day maintenance, because after the

“And Anderson Lake too,” County Sheriff Joe Nole added.

Tyler likewise thanked Parks and Rec’s all-volunteer lineup of more than 40 coaches, who make it possible for players of all ages to enjoy sports such as soccer.

And while Doug Huber, Jim Stark and Suzy Learned have made impressive strides in restoring the habitat of Irondale Beach Park, Tyler spoke of the need to allow those volunteers to “pass the baton” to new From left, Sheriff Joe Nole, Beau Baker and Gene Graves grab some grub at H.J.

Tyler pointed to trail a significant difference, with Park over the past three the habitat issues endemic to Irondale Beach, as well as those who grasp its historic context, since the iron and steel mill is a national historic site. “There’s not too many ruins left in America” Tyler said, hastening to add that Parks and Rec can fulfill just about any interest for its prospective volunteers, including working on policies as a member of its advisory board.

Bob Hoyle, work projects coordinator for the local chapter of the Back Country Horsemen, expressed pride in the trail-building his group was able to do around Gibbs Lake, including a puncheon bridge over a seasonal outflow from Beausite Lake.

Hoyle and his fellow Back Country Horsemen had to move their construction materials a quarter of a mile by the sweat of their brows, with a subset of older women volunteers who identified themselves as “the Can-Do Crone Crew.”

As much as the completed projects themselves, Hoyle cherishes the relationships his group has developed with other volunteers, including area mountain biking associations.

“There have been times in the past when we haven’t seen eye-to-eye, but we have common interests in keeping these trail systems open,” Hoyle said.

While the rest of the cook-out’s attendees chatted, Parks and Rec Board member Marianna Walters collected the burgers that her husband Paul had cooked on the grill.

New pool possible with YMCA partnership

EDITORIAL

County should conduct public business in public Challenge to shooting range to courtroom opponents is ordinance wasn’t litigation sensible, particularly when

cash remedies are being sought and taxpayers want government to pay out as little as possible.

But the Growth Management Hearings Board is only quasi-judicial. And in this case, it was asked to rule on the form of a Jefferson County ordinance and not on the application of it to a specific property or activity.

In other words, there is no direct financial impact on taxpayers nor quarrel with a specific party. No taxpayer interest is protected by this secrecy.

Quite the opposite. County commissioners should be robustly on the record about Sept. 23, 2019 what they plan to do to address the flaws in their Philip Morley, work that were cited by the ADMINISTRATOR Hearings Board.

The Jefferson County YMCA, under the umbrella of the Olympic Peninsula YMCA, currently serves primarily working families through after-school care, summer camps, and an extensive summer meals program at six locations around the county.

Working out of minimal facilities, the Jefferson County Y has already made a huge difference in our community.

Now the Y is working on a partnership with the City of Port Townsend, Jefferson County, and the Port Townsend School District to develop a fully equipped community wellness center at the Mountain View Commons in Port Townsend—an intergenerational gathering place with amenities similar to Y facilities in Sequim and Silverdale.

In consultation with the JeffCo Aquatic Coalition (JAC) and others, we are working on a design that incorporates a new 25-yard competition-length pool as well as a warmer recreation and therapy pool, hot tub, and sauna.

The proposal includes a mix of reuse and new construction.

The existing gymnasium at Mountain View would be remodeled and connected to the new building, with the total size being about half that of the Silverdale Y. This is not a “luxury facility,” but one right-sized for Jefferson County.

There is only one public pool in Jefferson County. It was built at Mountain View in 1963 by the school district as an L-shaped 20-yard “instructional pool” for its students. Over the years, its operation has shifted from the school to the county to the city as each jurisdiction has been challenged to keep it open.

In 1995, the City of Port Townsend assumed responsibility for the pool and has since made many improvements. As a result, use of the pool has tripled in the last few years.

However, even with the increase

in user revenue, the pool must be subsidized each year by hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars.

Repairs to the pool’s liner, roof, and mechanical systems may be needed in the next decade. Studies show it could be as expensive to refurbish the old pool as it would be to build new.

Do we as a community want to invest in an aging, too-small undersized pool or a new, rightsized aquatic facility?

The YMCA is a nonprofit with a mission to strengthen the communities we serve.

We believe that collaborating to build a full-service Y at Mountain View, that includes replacing the aging and undersized public pool, is how the YMCA can best contribute to the long-term health and vitality of Jefferson County. Ys incorporating aquatic facilities are common around the country and have excellent track records of financial sustainability.

The winning combination of the Y’s membership model and the private fundraising capability of the Y’s nonprofit status can make this facility’s operating budget work without ongoing public support. And Y facilities are open to everyone and offer generous assistance to ensure no one is denied access for financial reasons.

What does our community need? A high-quality aquatic facility for swimmers of all ages, combined with services for families, senior fitness, and cancer survivor programs, and indoor recreation opportunities for teens and adults.

The new facility would provide a healthy, safe, and welcoming space for families and individuals, youth and seniors.

Our community can be stronger and healthier through a partnership with the YMCA. We were proud to unveil preliminary plans for the Y wellness center last month at the Jefferson County Fair. You can see the beautiful architectural illustrations by local artist Mike Kowalski at www.

O P I NI O N FO R U M LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vaping is harmful The Leader article: Dire CDC Warnings Prompt Vaping Response [Leader, Sept. 11] outlines the problem of youth vaping in schools. The reality is that nicotine addiction is not confined to one place. This issue calls for a bigger community response.

The article reports that 4% of students vape, which is true of 6th graders in Jefferson County.

Although this rate seems relatively low, any vaping by youth is harmful. The WA Healthy Youth Survey reports that nearly 39% of Jefferson County 10th graders have used vapor products in the past 30 days. This figure is alarming, along with the e-cigarette flavors and advertising that targets youth with many of the same themes that have led to youth cigarette smoking. The majority of adult smokers started before they were 18 years old, and teens who vape are more likely to start smoking cigarettes.

Adolescence is an important time for brain development and nicotine exposure in youth can cause addiction and harm the developing brain. Vaping exposes lungs to volatile organic compounds, ultra-fine particles, cancer causing chemicals, heavy metals and nicotine.

Additionally, there have been 450 possible cases of severe lung disease related to vaping in over 33 states, including six deaths, according to Dr. Kathy Lofy, WA State Health Officer.

Policies can help combat the problem: Starting January, 2020, WA Tobacco 21 raises the legal age to buy tobacco and vapor products to 21. Prohibiting flavorings in vapor products is another measure being explored.

The Jefferson County Board of Health is considering changing the “No smoking in public places” ordinances to include prohibiting vaping in similar places.

Resources include: your healthcare provider, the School Based Health Centers, and school Student Assistant Professionals, the CDC, the Truth Initiative’s e-cigarette quit texting program by texting “DITCHJUUL” to 88709.

PT needs animal control, not tourists On Aug. 1, 2019 I sent a letter to the Port Townsend City Council documenting the attack by two off-leash dogs on myself and my two small dogs, on a city street; the four police interviews with me; and the summary reports that misrepresent the incident.

No citations have been issued nor consequences have befallen the owner of the dogs.

My investigation also revealed that for the 18 month period from Jan. 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019 there were 350 calls to police for animal control; yet only one citation was issued. That includes my

incident.

After sending the letter, I also spoke before city council on Aug. 5, 2019 regarding this incident. I was cut off by the mayor, and dismissed from the podium, with no subsequent discussion among the councilors of which I am aware. I have received not one response.

City council eliminated the funding for the animal control position, and now the burden is placed on officers who have multiple other duties and priorities, making response to animal control calls sporadic and slow in most cases.

Four police officers have resigned in the past year, allegedly for higher salaries in nearby towns. If that is true, why does the city not raise salaries? There is plenty of money for tourism promotion being spent.

Several city councilors, past and present, are involved in business activities that benefit from improving the image of PT as a “friendly, welcoming, fun” place to visit and live. Tourism is big bucks for certain business activities such as hotels, B&Bs, restaurants, and real estate developers and sales companies.

Many recent articles are appearing about the negative impact of excessive tourism on “destination” towns and cities.

Elections are soon. Or shall we just change the name of our city to Port Tourism?

MickHager not laughing I watched the city council budget workshop via the internet on Monday. The cable TV feed is broken, and they actually joked about it during the meeting, but nobody asked staff to look into it.

Typical.

The proposed budget itself is like a train approaching a bridge washout. Red flags are waving, but nobody sees them. The proposed budget of course has more requests than revenue, and the projections forward look even worse.

Council spent most of their time on revenue, and trying to figure out where they could enhance their revenue, mainly by taxing citizens on their water bills, more reliable than sales tax revenues which can drop in case of a recession.

What council didn’t do was look at the budget requests with any kind of care. Leadership at city council doesn’t appear to be reading carefully at all. Top item on the budget list: $10K for new office furniture for the new city manager.

Second: another administrative assistant: $80K. Then: new conference room chairs: $2K. Office improvements: $5K. Hey, let’s wait for the new city manager and see if these things really matter in a world where $100K for local road repair is not even on the list.

Adequate budgeting for local road repairs has been on the “unmet needs list” for several years running, but never gets funded.

We know this because one council member inquired. During a brief

discussion, no one asked staff to add it to the proposed budget. Most of city council just laughed about this perennial budget stepchild.

Here’s what we get - no road repairs, nice new office furniture, additional utility taxes and our presiding council member is laughing at budget workshops that accept no public comment.

Vote for Monica MickHager. She sees the red flags waving and she’s not laughing.

Stinson has experience, network I met mayor Deborah Stinson 13 years ago through launching Local 20/20, Jefferson County’s nonprofit transition initiative to “work together for community sustainability and resilience, while balancing the triple bottom line of economy, ecology, and community.” No easy task, but then Deborah Stinson does not shy away from hard work.

Now, with Deborah up for reelection to city council this November, it is time we go to work for her.

One of Deborah’s first initiatives through Local 20/20 was reaching out to the County Dept. of Emergency Management’s (DEM) head, Bob Hamlin, in proposing to him that Local 20/20 partner with the DEM to foster organized neighborhoods throughout Jefferson County. These neighborhoods were intended to ensure a self-help network in the event of a local disaster, since a major earthquake meant it could be weeks before help might arrive.

With the DEM, easy rapport and trust grew, and what began back in 2007 with 20 or 30 neighborhoods committed to plan together has now grown to almost 150 neighborhoods, with more motivated every year.

This network is a national role model for such public/private partnership and strong connectivity.

Deborah’s skills were central to making this happen.

Since Deborah has been in elected leadership, her capacity to network and partner for the common good has thrived with her excellent relationship building skills. Her connections with our local police, sheriff, emergency responders, 911 operators, fire department, even with the Navy (discussing the Growlers issue) would vanish unless we work hard to reelect this person who is so committed to serving on our community’s behalf. Do not let her skilled leadership slip away!

Please get out and vote for Deborah Stinson, for the safety and security of our larger community.

You should care about the port I am often asked; “Why should I care about the Port of Port Townsend? I don’t own a boat or a plane so it isn’t important to me.”

Short answer is that it is our public resource, not unlike our schools or roads and it belongs to all the citizens of Jefferson County.

The Port owns property in Gardiner, Hadlock, Mats Mats, Quilcene and Port Townsend that allows waterfront access to anyone.

It also owns the airport. Without the port authority’s protection, acres and acres would no doubt have been developed long ago into private homes.

Private versus public. We need public land and all pay property taxes to support this resource. I pay less than $12 per year: a bargain.

But we need to assure citizen oversight, so we should all vote for our best possible representative.

Pam Petranek is a candidate for port commissioner position #1 this year. Pam is fiercely committed to; transparency in government, genuine collaboration with the county, city and community and ensuring the port always works for the triple bottom line. I believe she will help guide the commission judiciously,

creatively and with aplomb.

Please vote for Pam Petranek for solid leadership and a breath of fresh air.

Boorishness a matter of perspective Listening to the new recording of Ellen Reid’s Prism, which recently received both the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in Music and the Music Critics of North America Opera Award, helped me put into perspective Scott Hogenson’s request that The Leader use asterisks to mask words he considers “obscenities.”

Without these asterisks, Scott warns,The Leader will sink “to CNN levels of boorishness.”

Reid and her librettist, Roxie Perkins, address the issues of rape, collusion, and the masking of traumatic memory with an aesthetic honesty that includes the use of four letter words. They are the same words used daily on the streets of America to appropriately address obscenities that include child and sexual abuse, racism, the greed at the root of Jefferson County’s housing crisis, paramilitary installations in the midst of nature, growler jets, the drug industry-fueled opiod crisis, the wonton spraying of glyphosate, and the eradication of environmental protections for the sake of profit—the kinds of issues that CNN addresses on a daily basis.

Boorishness? What does “boorishness” mean in the context of a country that was built on slavery, inequality, and the denial of the right to vote to women? To me, masking “boorishness” means wishing to live in a world where unpleasant realities are forever glossed over and hidden for the sake of a Norman Rockwell-like America.

I applaud The Leader for getting real rather than trying to maintain fantasy realities.

Multiple paths away from homelessness At Bayside Housing we have seen that no two people have the same path out of homelessness. Some find long term stability by re-joining with family or friends. Others we assist in finding new housing, getting a job, or linking with benefits that allow them to escape homelessness on their own.

Few people experience homelessness the same way. Many have a mental health diagnosis, while others live with addiction. Right here in Jefferson County some spend each night in a shelter, while others sleep in doorways, cars, encampment, the forest or the beach. Still others simply can’t find affordable housing. Yet, all those experiencing homelessness have one thing in common; they don’t have a place to live.

Last December on a bitter cold evening Bayside Housing received a call from an advocate for an 89-yearold woman being evicted from her rental home of nearly 20 years. We arranged to accommodate her while she pursued permanent housing.

This delightful woman resided at Bayside for four months until offered an apartment in OlyCAP’s South

Seven Senior Village.

Unfortunately, over the years, still another group has emerged called the “working poor.” These men and women, often with children, work two and sometimes three jobs, albeit at minimum wage. They often will spend in excess of 50% of their earnings for housing. These are the hardworking people that serve &

cook in restaurants, care for our sick and elderly, perform retail clerking and many other minimum or nearminimum wage jobs.

In a recent article published in the Jefferson Community Foundation newsletter Kerry Hastings wrote: “At a recent housing forum in Port Townsend, we learned that Jefferson County is the third most unaffordable county in the state.

The story told from the data was not encouraging...housing and land prices continuing to rise, families and workers moving away or choosing not to come at all due to the lack and price of housing. Our economy is already suffering because of this reality, and it will continue to get worse.”

Yes, and it has grown worse right here in our picturesque, Victorian paradise and if we don’t recognize that this problem affects us all we are deceiving ourselves. When this new class of citizens we call the “working poor” are not supported by reasonably priced housing, they will inevitably fall into the homeless class exacerbating an already epidemic situation. In speaking with

several local employers, they collectively deem a lack of affordable housing the number one issue in hiring new employees. Today, a growing number of employees working in our community don’t live here. They commute from PA, Sequim, Poulsbo, Kingston, Port Gamble and wherever else they can find more reasonably priced housing. One nearby community has reported that 85% of their city employees don’t live in their city.

Commuting is costly and when the occasion arises, they leave their jobs for opportunities nearer to where they live. I would.

These working poor, those who stand astride the line between poverty and the middle class are the laborers of our nation’s commerce, yet they live their lives worrying about how to make their next rent payment.

Our understanding of poverty needs to change. Poverty is no longer confined to those living in our shelter or panhandlers on the street, but now encompasses many of our hardest workers.

The predicament of the working poor not only affects the current

generations but will affect future generations through rising housing costs that cannot be met with the wages being paid. The struggles, like many of our socio-economic problems do not have an easy solution and are just beginning to be understood. However, they must be confronted and if not by us, by who? And meeting after meeting won’t get it done. This is an action matter of high priority that takes getting the bureaucratic barriers out of the way to do the job. Let’s be the leaders of this movement, at least here in Jefferson County. Bayside Housing and Services will continue to contribute to meet these very real challenges.

O P I NI O N FO R U M PERSPECTIVE

Improve the Fort Worden boat ramp In recent weeks Washington State Parks has put forward plans to redevelop the Marine Science Center and adjacent boat ramp at Fort Worden, hosting a series of public meetings here to present them and to seek input.

Alternatives for the boat ramp include (1) replacing it with a modern, elevated ramp, (2) leaving it as is, and (3) removing it altogether.

Puget Sound Anglers supports replacing the existing ramp with an elevated boat launch that will provide access to the water for small trailers & boats while minimizing its impact on the beach ecosystem. We agree that we must strive to improve habitat and plan for sea level rise, while controlling costs.

Puget Sound Anglers is a local fishing club with over 70 members in our local East Jefferson Chapter, and over 5,000 in many other chapters around the Salish Sea. We are a Washington nonprofit corporation dedicated to preserving, protecting,

environments. In so doing, we help preserve traditions of engagement with wilderness, and of sport fishing as recreation and food source for our families, that have been passed down through generations as part and parcel of our Pacific Northwest culture.

We appreciate the state’s thoughtful analysis and planning to improve the Fort Worden beach and Marine Science Center. For the past couple of years, the boat launch has been unavailable due to the loss of the hydraulic permit that allowed accumulating sand to be scraped off periodically, while more and more people want to get out on the water in small boats to fish, Russ Howell crab or shrimp, or simply to explore EAST JEFFERSON CHAPTER OF PUGET and enjoy some time on the water.

SOUND ANGLERS Ours is a beautiful area with many recreational opportunities.

The Fort Worden boat ramp is and enhancing thriving populaan important recreational asset for tions of salmon and other species this area. An elevated ramp would in healthy marine and freshwater solve the issue of accumulating sand

by allowing the natural movement of beach sediment to continue under the ramp. This will make the beach a healthier place for forage fish to spawn and, with the removal of the break wall, restore the natural beach ecosystem. It is in an ideal location, next to the Marine Science Center, to showcase how properly thought-out recreational facilities can be made to work with the environment rather than against it. Its location is also ideal for safely launching the small recreational boats that fish Point Wilson and Mid Channel Bank since it is directly adjacent to both.

Some local residents favor removing the boat ramp because it does not conform to their idea of a pristine beach. But the State Parks system is not a nature conservancy: Its central mission is to provide opportunities for recreation to all citizens of Washington State. Boat ramps

play a crucial role in fulfilling that mission because public access to the water is so limited and it is extremely difficult to permit new ones. There are fewer ramps now than 40 years ago, however there are substantially more trailerable boats. These facilities are for all people, yet we, in Port Townsend, are the folks to whom the parks’ outreach is directed.

So, it is up to us to have the input to affect the ultimate decisions. We believe that the ramp should be retained and improved, and that it can be done with very low environmental impact. It’s important to proceed with the new elevated ramp.

After 35 years in the corporate real estate world, Russ found the end of the rainbow here in Port Townsend, where he is quite happily retired.)

LETTERS CONTINUED Image was inappropriate On Sept. 4, I was reading the PT Leader and came across an article containing a black and white image of a naked woman in a bathtub with her breasts exposed.

Now my reaction to this was that it was extremely inappropriate to have displayed on a public newspaper, especially when there are families in this community with young children.

Parents should not have to worry about letting their children look at the local news without being exposed to graphic imagery.

There was a time when the PT Leader was more appropriate and inclusive for all ages and I would deeply appreciate if you could help keep The Leader the way it should be: Clean and tasteful for everyone.

Public-private partnerships are necessary I was excited to read about the Olympic Peninsula YMCA’s proposal for new aquatic and recreation facilities at Mountain View Commons and somewhat taken aback by the negative opinions expressed

by Julie Jaman and David Goldman in the Sept. 11 issue, including opposition to replacing the current aging and too-short pool and having the facility be run by a “private corporation.”

From what I can tell, the

proposed remodel is hardly a “luxury” facility, and I don’t see how you can argue that a recreation pool plus hydrotherapy pool would be “pools galore.” The price tag seems high, but Port Townsend and Jefferson County deserve a modern aquatic facility; the lack of one is why many of us drive to Sequim and/or Silverdale to swim at the Y branches there (did you know that if you join the Olympic Peninsula YMCA, you can use any Y facility in the country?).

Public-private partnerships are necessary for improving community assets and achieving community goals. Throughout the United States, YMCA branches— which are not-for-profit—are committed to values the opinion writers associate with the current city-run facility: swim lessons and lifeguard training, classes and events, and dedicated time for school swim team practice and meets, not to mention the Y’s recreational opportunities for all ages, special programs for those dealing with health issues, and a mission to develop the potential of all children and teens. And if our swim team had a beautiful new competition pool, they wouldn’t have to do so many flip turns!

Road repair is urgent I have been walking, driving, and photographing the Port Townsend city streets for more than a year, and I am appalled to find that we have significantly more arterial and neighborhood

streets in serious disrepair than are in decent shape. Our local streets are hazardous to public safety of motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists.

They are so deteriorated many can no longer be repaired effectively, and will have to be torn up and repaved at prohibitive expense to city taxpayers.

Port Townsend currently “maintains” 88 miles of arterial and neighborhood streets. According to a 2010 online chart of generic “cost per mile” of blacktop, new construction of two-lane urban arterial streets averaged $3,818,886.34 per mile.

Resurfacing existing twolane urban roads averages $484,922.04 per mile.

All but a few of our streets are in need of serious remediation. It is not unrealistic to imagine $20 million to $50 million is needed to bring these neglected streets up to a minimum standard. City officials tell me “we do not have the money to fix the streets”, so they continue to deteriorate, thus going from the half-million-dollar repair category to the four-milliondollar per mile column.

Apparently, there is plenty of money for the Howard Street and Rainier Street business parks and the expensive Discovery Road round-about. The Water Street beautification project went significantly beyond the street and utility repair project it was billed as, and the project currently underway in front of the Chamber of Commerce/EDC offices reportedly will cost local taxpayers $600,000.

I have come to the conclusion that the issue is not that the city doesn’t have enough money, but rather it

has warped priorities. Our community arterial and neighborhood streets are a critical component of our quality of life in Port Townsend.

They should have priority over the speculative development projects.

‘This is not us’: Reader responds to sprint boat coverage Chris, I have no idea what your connections are to Port Townsend, but this infomercial on both sections of your Sept. 11, 2019 edition is so very out of touch with the very essence of what this peninsula is all about. Please think about this disgusting article. All those I’ve talked to are sincerely repulsed. The below has been sent around.

I take The Leader but this is very disappointing.

Dear fellow residents of Jefferson County, this rather scary article about “Sprint Boat Racing” was plastered on the front page of The Leader and again on the front page of the this week section.

The article reads similar to an infomercial promoting this big buff motor, noisy, polluting, so-called “Man Sport.”

It is the very antithesis of what our lovely peninsula is all about. Sort of a NASCAR racing on artificial water race courses. Please, let’s nip this one in the bud and let this out-of-touch clueless newspaper know we’re not going to be a Las Vegasville cheap thrills arcade.

Don’t fall for the pitch that

Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader

From farm to pancake Finnriver’s burgeoning wheat business LILY HAIGHT LHAIGHT@PTLEADER.COM On a drizzly Sunday morning, families, friends and neighbors warmed up at the Chimacum Grange, soaking up fresh blueberry syrup with buckwheat pancakes, sipping steamy cups of coffee and tapping their feet to live folk tunes.

The second annual Grange pancake feed on Sept. 22 saw 200 people come through to help the Grange raise money for renovations, eat good food and enjoy a morning of community.

But there was more to the plates of food than met the eye: everything that was eaten was locally grown, from the pork sausage to the meltin-your-mouth cantaloupe.

happy pigs, who grew up out there on Egg and I road,” said James Fritz, a member of the Chimacum Grange board.

But there was one ingredient that is relatively new to Jefferson County’s agriculture community: buckwheat.

Keith Kisler, one of the owners and founders of Finnriver Farm and Cidery, grew the buckwheat that made Sunday’s pancakes hearty. Buckwheat is just one of the grains that Kisler is beginning to grow, mill and process at Finnriver Farm for what he hopes is the beginning of a grain business.

Kisler grew up on a grain farm in Eastern Washington.

When he and his wife Crystie first started Finnriver Farm, he began growing some grain crops and milling on a small mill, selling bags of flour to prospective buyers.

Soon the cidery took over his life and the flour business was pushed to the background for a while.

“It’s always been my desire to grow organic grain,” Kisler said. While the cidery business took off, he continued to grow different types of grain for the Washington State University’s bread lab, a program that works to breed and develop varieties of grains and other crops that will benefit farmers, processors, and communities.

With the Bread Lab’s Dr. Stephen S. Jones, Kisler has become interested in how grains grow in the Olympic Peninsula’s rainshadow climate. Sequim Prairie organic farmer Nash Huber developed a number of markets for local grains, raising spelt, quinoa and wheat that makes its way to commercial bakeries and retail outlets. Indeed, the pancakes included flour from Nash’s Organics line.

“I haven’t read a novel in about 15 years,” Kisler joked.

“I spend most of my time reading academic journals.”

Kisler is constantly researching different types of grain, the health benefits of whole grains and different grain farming techniques.

“The Bread Lab is all about nutritional quality and end-use quality,” Kisler said.“ Now that Finnriver is building a new cider processing barn on their property at the corner of Center Road and Highway 19, their old cider barn is slated to become Kisler’s new grain milling operation.

He plans to begin his

Kieth Kisler, one of the owners of Finnriver Farm and Cidery, is working to build a Jefferson County wheat production operation, where he plans to grow and mill grains for local bakeries and home bakers.

small grain growing and milling operation with milled-to-order grains, such as wheat, barley, buckwheat, quinoa and spelt.

Partnering with bakeries like Pane D’Amore and individual bakers, he will traditionally stone-grind grain for bread, pastries and, of course, pancakes.

GROWING BUCKWHEAT Though the name might suggest otherwise, buckwheat is not actually a form of wheat. Often grown as a cover crop because of its ability to shade out weeds, buckwheat seeds are a pseudo grain that can be ground into a flour and used in breads, pancakes, and most commonly in France’s traditional savory crepes.

This summer, Kisler’s field of buckwheat flowered prettily on the side of Center Road, across from Red Dog Farm. A spring grain, it is planted as winter ends and harvested in the summer.

The grain constantly flowers, which means it constantly sets seed and a mixture of the black cured seed can be harvested at the same time as newer green seed.

When 75 percent of the seeds are cured, Kisler cuts the buckwheat and windrows it for a week to 10 days, which helps the grain mature even further.

Then, it is run through a combine, which threshes the grain, releasing small, black grains—the edible part— from the chaff.

Growing up on a grain farm in Eastern Washington, these processes are all incredibly familiar for Kisler, but at world-feeding industrial scale. This tiny operation had its own challenges, such as finding machinery appropriate to Finnriver’s small acreages.

“Some of the machines they use over there wouldn’t even fit on the road to get back here,” he said.

His most recent machinery purchase has been a

traditional stone grind mill, which can pound buckwheat and sort the product into three different textures: a white flour, a medium whole grain flour, and the leftover hulls which can be used in fabrics.

In the pancakes, Grange volunteer and Chimacum Corner Farmstand owner Katy McCoy used a mixture of the white flour and sifted flour, which contained the darker and grainier texture and gave the pancakes a hearty buckwheat flavor and color.

Buckwheat has a high mineral content, high fiber and the vitamin Rutin which is an antioxidant that can protect the heart, liver and bones.

For Kisler, his burgeoning grain business is all about whole grains.

Grains, like any crops, have genetic lines that give them unique characteristics. But with the popularity of white flour and the uniformity of modern grain production, many whole grains have lost some of their genetic characteristics over the years, Kisler said.

“The most beautiful wheat I’ve ever grown was for the Bread Lab and was three different breeding lines mixed together,” he said. “It was dark, uniform, had no disease, grew well and milled well.”

The Bread Lab is working to bring some of those interesting grains back into popularity, so that they are easy to grow for farmers like Kisler and so that communities can enjoy bread that is healthy, tasty, and locally made.

Farm Tour highlights importance of agriculture LILY HAIGHT LHAIGHT@PTLEADER.COM The Autumn equinox was brought in with a weekend of farm touring in Jefferson County, as 19 farms in the eastern part of the county showed off their harvests.

The weekend started off with a bright, sunny Saturday, and crowds drove from farm to farm to pet livestock, choose hand-spun yarns and pick up vegetables for dinner.

“We had nearly 600 people come through the farm yesterday,” said Patricia Young, owner of Yaks in the Cradle Farm in Quilcene. On the first sunny day of Farm Tour, she sold out of nearly all her yak meat.

Matt Montaya, one of the farmers at Kodama Farm and Food Forest, said they had to wake up and harvest more veggies on Sunday morning, after selling out on Saturday.

On Sunday, the clouds came in, but Farm Tourers just put their boots on and prepared to get a little muddy.

“I was really encouraged on Sunday morning when I still saw so many people coming out in spite of the drizzle,” said Justine Gonzalez-Berg, an organizer for Farm Tour. “It’s awesome to see people embracing the Pacific Northwest lifestyle like that.”

According to GonzalezBerg, total participation in Farm Tour was at least 1,400 people, which is about 100 more than last year. The total

number of farm visits was at least 5,100, meaning people visited an average of three farms or more, she said.

The most-visited farms were Yaks in the Cradle and Arabians at Egg & I, each with at least 600 visitors, and Kodama Farm & Food Forest with over 560 visitors.

At Compass Rose Farm, where owner Kateen Fitzgerald showed off the Dirt Rich School’s many farm internship programs and teachings, local artists and former interns created an art gallery in the woods, where poems and nature-inspired pieces gave people the opportunity to feel the true nature of farming on the Olympic Peninsula.

Visitors to farms across Jefferson County were also invited to write their own works of poetry. Finnriver Farm and the Farm Tour organizers teamed up for the “Wording the Land” project, Steven Young, one of the owners of Yaks in the Cradle farm, helps a small Farm Tourer, Sefton Perez, feed one of the yaks. Below, Compass Rose asking visitors to express Farm showed off their farm animals during the tour. A group of ducks wandered the property, as Icelandic sheep grazed in a nearby field. Leader through poetry what they saw photos by Lily Haight at the farms they visited.

“It’s not too late to submit a poem inspired by Farm Tour and being on the land,” said Gonzalez-Berg.

Those poems can be submitted to wordingtheland@ gmail.com. They will be collected and selectively chosen for a chap book, a short book of poetry, that will be sold over the next winter and spring to raise money for the Farmers Market Food Access program in Jefferson County.

Disco Bay women golfers play for scholarships KIRK BOXLEITNER KBOXLEITNER@PTLEADER.COM Sept. 6 saw the Discovery Bay Women’s Golf Club hold their second annual Scholarship Fundraiser Tournament, in which 31 women (and men) showed up on what club spokeswoman Dee Sweeney called “a beautiful Friday morning” to compete and determine who would also become this year’s champions at the putting contest and KPs (closest to the pin on the par-three holes).

The tournament was followed by a silent auction, raffles and a potluck dinner provided by the Discovery Bay Women’s Golf Club.

The format for the tournament was a twoperson team scramble, whereby each player hits the ball and the next shot is played from the best location of the two balls played.

The winning teams for the first flight were: • First-place low gross: Greg Miller and Wanda Synnestvedt, who collectively shot a gross 70.

• Second-place low gross: Tim Durner and George Cave, with a gross 71.

• First-place low net: Jane and Will Peoples, with a net 56.8.

• Second-place low net: Witta Priester, Linda Case and Sheila Kilmer, with a net 57.

The winning teams for the second flight were: • First-place low gross: Barb Aldrich and Dave Beuter, with a gross 79.

• Second-place low gross: Patrick and Greg Rutz, with a gross 80.

• First-place low net: Jim and Linda Deforest, with 58.

• Second-place low net: Ron and Larry Germeau, with 59.6.

KP winners were Barb Aldrich and Dave Beuter, on hole 14, and Sheila Kilmer and Greg

Rutz, on hole 3, with the putting contest won

by Andy McCullem and Doug Lewis.

To add to the day’s excitement, Jane Peoples shot an “Eagle” (two strokes under par) on hole 2, which is a par-four.

“Her drive landed near the green, and then she chipped it into the hole!” Sweeney said.

Sweeney thanked Will and Jane Peoples, who helped organize the tournament and donated the prize money for the winners.

“The proceeds from the tournament will be awarded as a scholarship to a qualifying female athlete at Chimacum High School,” Sweeney said.

And the day before, on Sept. 5, the Discovery Bay Women’s 18-Hole Club played “Predict Your Score” in which the winner was Jane Peoples, who predicted her exact score of 82.

Second place was a tie — Terry Graham predicted her score to be 88, and shot 87, while Sheila Kilmer predicted she’d shoot 96, and got a 95.

Third place went to Starla Audette, who predicted a score of 100, but shot a 98.

On Sept. 12, the Discovery Bay Women’s 18-Hole Golf Club played a round where only the scores on the par-fours counted, minus half the handicap.

The winner was Jane Peoples, with a net 40.5 for the 10 par-four holes played, and second was Dee Sweeney, with a net 44.5. Third place went to Marianne Ott, who shot a net 47.5.

And on Sept. 19, the Disco Bay women played an individual “best ball” competition.

The winners were Peoples in first place again, with a net score of 31 for nine holes, followed by Wanda Synnestvedt in second place, with a net score of 34.

Third place was a tie between Terry Graham and Jane Guiltinan, who both shot a net 34.5.

Protest: Church to hold anti-abortion demonstration Oct. 6 “Access to birth control and abortion is about economic justice, particularly as it relates to young people living in poverty in rural communities.”

continued from page 1

“Our mission for this event is a peaceful counter-protest to promote the separation of church and state,” Tidwell said. She also said the counter-demonstration sought to support students who have or may need to have abortions, and to protest use of public facilities to promote controversial political movements.

According to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, the protest was peaceful and there were no incidents.

The Sheriff’s Office was hired to provide extra security, said Sheriff Joe Nole. This doesn’t mean that they were providing security for one side over another, but that they were there as an extra presence to enforce the laws.

“Despite the fact that there are two polar opposite sides with completely different beliefs and you had those who were protesting for the separation of church and state, it was very peaceful,” said Sergeant Brett Anglin, who was there with another deputy to provide extra security. “I didn’t detect any violence or anger.

The protesters were very respectful and agreed to the parameters we set.”

Even after protesters packed up to go home, Anglin said a group of them stayed to clean up after themselves.

The protesters were mainly young adults or students, Anglin added.

However, the students received the support of older men and women and some of their parents, as well.

“To be honest, I really would have rather been at home making dinner, but the idea of this event happening at the high school was just too outrageous for me, and I wanted to support the organizers who are recent graduates of the school,” said Heather Rehtaeh, who attended

Historically, this is not a non-violent group.”

While some protesters were calling out the anti-abortion movement altogether, others were protesting the fact that the event was allowed to be hosted at Chimacum High School.

State law says that a school district may lease its surplus facilities to private schools, profit or nonprofit organizations and other governmental agencies so long as the leasing will not interfere with the building’s use for school purposes.

According to a press release from Chimacum Quynn Tidwell, one of the organizers of the counterpro- Superintendent Rick Thompson, the school test, leads the crowd in peaceful protest against the district in no way endorses the organization or anti-abortion event.

“Allowing the church to use the facility the protest. “For me, access to birth control and abortion is about economic justice, particularly as it relates to young people living in poverty in rural communities.”

For Alea Waters, a former nurse at Planned Parenthood, it was important to attend the protest in support of the students and out of concern for their safety.

“I worked for Planned Parenthood for over a decade,” she said. “The groups I had to go through to get to work were not peaceful.

consistent with District practices, and as anyone can request, is not a violation of the separation of church and state,” wrote Thompson. “The District is not in the position of policing the viewpoints of those who use a District facility consistent with District procedures.”

However, Waters was concerned about the safety of students at their own school. It is possible that some members of the public will bring this concern to the attention of school board members at the next board meeting, which is at 6 p.m. on Sept. 25 at the Chimacum High School library.

Muscutt said the event was held at the high school because of the size of the venue and the fact that is centrally located.

Meanwhile, the San Juan Baptist Church is organizing an anti-abortion demonstration in Port Townsend, according to Muscutt. The silent demonstration is slated to take place from 2 to 3 p.m. on Oct. 6 at Water Street and Polk Street.

It is possible the protest will have a slant against Jefferson Healthcare. On a Facebook post of the Life Conference 2019 page, organizers wrote, “Jefferson Healthcare in Port Townsend has been performing abortions since 2016 and is to be a focus of future activism.”

Moratorium: County asks planning commission to review ordinances military and law enforce- County of the Growth Board

continued from page 1 ment training at commercial decision would not stay the

The Leader has filed an objection against the executive session and requested a full recording of the proceedings (see page A5).

As part of its decisions, the elected Jefferson County Commission also submitted a letter to the Jefferson County Planning Commission, an advisory board, asking it to recommend regulations that comply both with the board’s decision and with state and federal law.

Last December, when taking a vote on the Title 18 ordinance, the county commission did not add any of the Planning Commission’s suggested edits to the ordinance language.

These suggested amendments included prohibiting

shooting facilities, requiring shooting hours to be restricted to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., prohibiting landing an aircraft or discharging firearms from an aircraft or drone at a commercial shooting facility, requiring a 500-yard setback of shooting areas around any lake greater than 20 acres, requiring a 16-foot-high noise barrier above grade at shooting ranges, and requiring all shooting areas to be fenced to a minimum height of 8 feet.

Despite asking the planning commission to recommend regulations to comply with the board’s decision, there is still a chance that the county will appeal the state hearing board’s invalidation of the ordinance.

“A potential appeal by the

effect of the Growth Board decision during the appeal, so the work on amending the ordinances needs to be done in the next six months while the moratorium is still in effect, even if the County decides to appeal the Growth Board decision,” wrote Morley in the press release.

After receiving the Planning Commission’s recommendations on the commercial shooting facility ordinances, the commissioners will review the recommendations, and will likely hold a public hearing in early February, before deliberating and adopting amended commercial shooting facility ordinances to comply with the Growth Board’s March 2 deadline.

Climate: ‘Students only’ at high school rally continued from page 1 While representatives for the Students for Sustainability did not respond to requests for comment as of press time, PTHS Principal Carrie Ehrhardt explained how a representative of organizers had spoken with her earlier that week about their intentions to participate in the climate strike.

“Because PTHS does not sponsor or organize such actions, the students were responsible in determining how they would participate in a manner which would insure that they were not disruptive to the educational environment, while still expressing their voice,” Carrie Ehrhardt said. “Our school and school district strongly believes that students do not leave their civil rights at the door when entering our schools.

Therefore, I fulfilled my duty as their principal to respond to their intent, by organizing my own available staff, with the assistance of our School Resource Officer Jeremy Vergin, to ensure the students had a safe environment on campus to hold their rally.”

Although organizers had expressed concerns about students getting in trouble for leaving class, Ehrhardt notified school staff of the students’ intent to gather, and even distributed special attendance sheets to teachers, so that students who left class at 10 a.m. could be tracked as leaving and then returning to class.

“The students had indicated that they intended to hold the rally for 30 minutes,” Ehrhardt said. “There was no penalty to students who chose to participate, as long as they returned to class at the conclusion

of the rally.”

As for the students who did not participate, they remained in their classrooms, under the supervision of their teachers.

“While the school’s position is neutral on political issues, I’m very proud of our students for showing their maturity in how they organized, prepared, informed me of their plans, and conducted themselves in this student-led event,” Ehrhardt said.

“I did make the decision to have community move over behind the fence,” Ehrhardt said. “Our SRO, along with two other Port Townsend Police officers, assisted in escorting community members to the fence line, where they could observe the students.”

Ehrhardt thanked those members of the public for their patience and understanding when they were asked to move to the sidewalk, “so that students could take the center stage and hold their rally without adult influence.”

Prior to this clinic, uninsured and under-insured patients would have to leave the county for dental care, or wait for the SmileMobile, but now, we can take care of them right here.”

Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader

CO MMU NI T Y R E CO R D LOOKING BACK Editor’s note: The following information is taken directly from The Leader on the dates given.

Information is presented today as it was at the time.

1894 The entertainment under the auspices of Port Townsend camp number 188, W.O.W., which took place at Good Templars Hall last night was witnessed by a large crowd of ladies and gentlemen representing the leading people of the town, the best known and most respected people of the city, in fact. The entertainment commenced at 8 o’clock and the first on the program was a piano solo by Mr. J.C. Pringle. The next was a solo on the violin by Frank McDonald, and another by Ben Pettygrove Sr., which was something entrancing.

Mrs. Peene then gave a recital entitled “Clown’s Baby.”

To the Ladies of Port Townsend: I have commenced the manufacture of YEAST CAKES in Port Townsend, and they will be on sale at the following places: Clark Aldrich’s (Gray’s old stand), and at J.Q. Adams’ fruit stand, opposite Fultojn’s studio. The yeast cakes will be furnished to you fresh, made every month. Plain directions for making bread with every package.

Mr. Cates is steadily at work in his little sardine establishment and has two or three men preparing, cooking and sealing up the little anchovies that are not only to tickle the palates of connoisseurs but advertise Port Townsend as well. Case after case are being piled up and yet the supply does not equal the demand right here at home.

The manager expects to widen out his field and will soon have his goods in the Seattle and Tacoma markets.

have grown the largest carrot of the year. The carrot, one of the “multiple” variety measures an even 12 inches around at the widest point, and weight slightly under three pounds when first dug.

1919 The dance given by and for the benefit of the local post of the American Legion last evening was a huge success, probably the greatest of its kind ever held in the county. Odd Fellows’ hall was the scene of the festivities, and the decorations were by far the most elaborate seen on any occasion in the past years. The hall was crowded to capacity with the dancers, many visitors from the country districts being present, and it is safe to say that practically every region in the county was represented.

H.B. Gardner, whose fine orchard is the envy of all horticulturalists who know something real choice in this line when they see it, was in the city last evening, on the way up-Sound to make arrangements for the marketing of his apple crop. Mr. Gardner has something like 1800 boxes of apples, and expects to get the top notch price for several of the varieties. He has been told by experts that he has the best fruit in the state of Washington while one horticulturalist has declared that the orchard is the best for its age in the entire United States.

Another big strike is in prospect, which, if it comes to pass, will be of decided inconvenience to the people of this city. Unless Governor Hart can succeed as a mediator of the differences now existing between the steamboat operators and the marine engineers all the boats on the Sound, including tugs and every class of vessels employed in transportation, will be tied up Monday. The marine engineers have demanded an increase of over 50 percent in wages and have threatened to walk out in a body unless their demands are met by September 15th.

In slightly over a half hour, 90 tons of water per acre fell on Port Townsend last Thursday evening, to give the town the heaviest drenching it has had in years. Even old-timers cannot recall when a heavier rainfall in such a short space of time, ever fell upon the city. A.D. Hatfield, U.S. Weather Bureau observer here said that .01 inch of rain is equal to one ton of water per acre, and on that basis the more than .90 inch of rain which fell Thursday resulted in more than 90 tons of water falling on every acre of ground.

This photo, which ran in The Leader in September of 1969, was titled, “A Big Catch.” It shows the “Michael John” underwater, as owner Ralph Collins appears to have a heavy line on the craft. The boat sank at its Hudson Harbor moorage and was winched out of the water by a Cotton Corp. boom barge. Leader file photo

1944 Another monster of the “victory garden world” was brought to light this week, when Miss Emilie Rothschild, former city librarian, called the attention of The Leader to an oversized carrot, grown in what she called the “O’Rear-Rothschild Victory Garden Development.” Mrs. Hazel O’Rear is the other partner in the concern which claims to

From New York comes the announcement that two more works of a local author have been accepted by Standard Publications, and will appear soon upon publication of a new book.

Mrs. Carl Foster, the author, is fast becoming known in the field of “Confession” stories. Her latest stories are “I Am Johnny Easter’s Wife” and “Commission Crazy.”

1969 The deteriorated condition of the present city hall has been obvious to anyone looking at the building. As many know, a solution to the situation has been sought by the city administration.

The city government has also recognized the fact that something has to be done in the very near future. A decision as to whether or not to build new city facilities must consider cost, what you get for your money, and what the leftovers are.

OBITUARIES Anita Louise Stuen Potthoff Paid notices

January 20, 1925 - August 24, 2019

Anita Louise Stuen Potthoff, beloved mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother, and aunt, and Port Townsend resident for almost 70 years, died August 24, 2019 in Anacortes at the age of 94.

The youngest of four children, Anita was born in Tacoma on January 20, 1925 to Ole J. Stuen and Agnes Hougen Stuen, and grew up in Parkland in a house on what is now the site of Stuen Hall on the Pacific Lutheran University campus.

Ole immigrated from Norway in 1902 and was a professor and librarian at Pacific Lutheran.

Prior to marriage, Agnes worked as Dean of Women Students at Pacific Lutheran; her father, Johan Hougen, came from Norway as an infant in 1857, became a Lutheran pastor, and served congregations in the Midwest and Tacoma. A lifelong Lutheran, Anita was baptized and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in Parkland. She graduated from Pacific Lutheran High School, and from Pacific Lutheran College (PLC) in 1946 with a degree in English and a minor in Botany. An excellent student at PLC, she sang in the Choir of the West, was selected May Queen her senior year, and edited the student newspaper.

Highlights of her early adulthood included a trip to visit her sister Elizabeth, serving in the WAVES on the East Coast,

and a journey to Norway via ocean liner with her father in the summer of 1947, where she enjoyed a three-month visit getting to know her Stuen relatives and practicing her Norwegian.

After graduation, Anita worked in the main office at Pacific Lutheran, where she met Neil Potthoff, who entered the college after serving in the Army Air Force during the war. They married on August 21, 1948 in Belfair. They moved to Port Townsend in January, 1949, where Neil became the first male teacher at the grade school. Over the years, Anita kept busy with their four children, yet still found time to participate in church and community activities. She was a long-time faithful member of Grace Lutheran Church, where she sang alto in the choir, served as treasurer of Grace Lutheran Women, and was involved in the Monday quilting group. She was also active in the P.E.O. Anita had many interests from which her family benefitted: she was a talented seamstress and knitter, particularly of beautiful Norwegian sweaters; grower and arranger of lovely flowers; baker of delicious pies, cakes, and cookies – her blackberry pie was particularly appreciated; and cake decorator. Anita loved to garden, play bridge and pinochle, attack crossword puzzles, and was a voracious

reader; we were awed by her ability to recite poetry. She embraced her Norwegian heritage and attended Hougen family reunions held at different locations around the country.

Anita is survived by her four children: Nancy Huling (Rick) of Lake Forest Park, Kari Bishay (Alan Moore) of Anacortes, Lora Ott (Jack) of Shelton, Joel Potthoff (Jody) of Woodinville; ten grandchildren: Kendra Huling Uhler (Dave); Amy Ott Anderson (Mike); Dane Ott (Christine); Stefan Bishay (Jessicia); Tessa Bishay; Alexa Huling (Aidan Penttila); Jaclyn Ott Rhoades (Jonathan); Derek Huling; Zachary Potthoff; Chloe Potthoff; and by seven great-grandchildren. Also surviving her are eleven muchloved nieces and nephews. She is remembered with fondness by many of her Hougen cousins.

Anita was preceded in death by her husband Neil on September 3, 2018.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff of Lighthouse Memory Care in Anacortes and to the team from Hospice of the Northwest for their kind and loving care of Anita during her last months.

A memorial service will be held at Grace Lutheran Church in Port Townsend on October 13 at 2:00 p.m. Memorial gifts in Anita’s name can be directed to Grace Lutheran Church.

Richard Leroy Breeden (Dickie Brown) April 23, 1944 - September 9, 2019

Richard Leroy Breeden (Dickie Brown) age 75, of Forks Washington passed away in his home on September 9, 2019.

Richard was born in Spokane Washington on April 23, 1944. He attended Quilcene High School. He enlisted in the Army in 1965 and was honorably discharged in 1971. He married Margaret (Klagge) Bingham and resided in Quilcene; they divorced in 1980. He had a long-term relationship with Tina Jenkins and settled in Silverdale. When he retired, he moved to Forks to be close to his children.

Richard collected people wherever he went and found many in Forks to share his life with. He enjoyed

working at Leppell’s Flower Shop, driving for Twilight Tours and hanging out with his best friend, his dog Angel.

Richard was preceded in death by his mother Mary Breeden Bailey, Stepfather Pete Bailey and sister Linda Brown. He is survived by his children Glenda (John) Aldana, Bob (Heather) Bingham, Richard (Denice) Bingham, and Johnny (Cheyenne) Breeden all of Forks, WA.

Pam Tordoff

October 21 1956 - July 3 2019 Born in Denver, Colorado, October 21, 1956.

Pam lived and attended schools at Vandenberg AFB, California, Knob Noster, Missouri, Kensington, Maryland, and Fort Dodge, Iowa.

She attended high school at Fort Dodge Senior High, and then worked at Woolworths, Crossroads Mall, in Fort Dodge for about 5 years in the later 1970’s. In 1980 She moved to Washington State, and lived on Marrowstone Island, and worked at the Old Alcohol Plant. She bought an acreage in Chimacum in 1983 and eventually built a beautiful home of her dreams with her Husband Jim in 2014. She worked as a waitress at the Chimacum Café from the early 90’s to late 90’s, then worked at the Spruce Goose Café from 1998 until December 2016 when she was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer.

Pam loved and rescued so many animals, and kept cats, dogs, horses, ducks, geese, chickens and fish as

part of her family. She was an accomplished, self taught, cook and baker, and loved to make everything from scratch. She made beautiful cakes and pies, winning an award for Best Pie In Jefferson County in 2003.

She enjoyed music as a child, playing the clarinet, and later the guitar.

She was a generous and caring daughter, wife, mother, sister, aunt, neighbor, and friend, and was known to help everyone she could in their times of need. Her heart and love will be greatly missed by her family, friends, and community.

Pam was survived by her husband Jim Tordoff of 20 years, daughter Sarah Winslow, brother Bill (& wife Patti) Jewell, sisters Kathy Jewell, and Carolyn (& husband Michael) Millea, nieces Laura Crowley, Elizabeth Crowley, Laurie Jewell, great nieces Olivia Ferris, Lilly and Nora Eastwood, and ex husband Mike Scott.

Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader

Jefferson County Students of the Week C H IM A C U M

Claire Jorgensen

JE FFERS ON C OM M UNITY

Mrs. Alm, Library para-educator has nominated Chimacum senior Claire Jorgensen for Student of the Week.

The daughter of Eric and Abby Jorgensen of Chimacum was selected for her ability to express herself and to show clarity & strength of her convictions through her words and actions.

Claire has shown strong leadership skills on the volleyball court and in the classroom, as well as the hallways.

Claire is National Honor Society President and enjoys playing volleyball. Last year Claire was a Rotary Exchange Student.

Claire’s superpower is her courage to stand up for herself and others to defend what she and they believe in, qualities Alm called ”very admirable.” The theme song that best describes Claire is “Waiting for the World to Change” by John Mayer.

Outside of school Claire loves to spend time outdoors, hiking and going to the beach.

After graduation, Claire plans on attending college in California.

Charlotte Tincher

Head of School Craig Frick and Ariel Starlight, teacher of project based learning, art and math have nominated Jefferson Community School freshman Charlotte Tincher Student of the Week.

The daughter of Chris and Tina Tincher of Greenbank, Whidbey Island was selected for being awesome.

“Charlotte spoke with passion and knowledge in our community circle, sharing about local marine ecology and the current issues facing whales and salmon in the area,” said Starlight.

At school, Charlotte works hard and is dedicated to her learning, accepting challenges with focused determination.

Charlotte cares deeply and has a great depth of empathy.

We think Charlotte’s superpower should be to be able to transform into any animal in order to communicate with them and in the movie of her life, her theme music should be upbeat, catchy, exciting and strong.

Outside school, Charlotte is dedicated to advancing her horse handling skills, and has volunteered for many years as an advocate for animals and the environment. Additionally, Charlotte is a good friend with a positive, cheerful attitude.

Jefferson Community School will run a student for a month at a time due to the number of students at the school.

P O R T T O WN S E ND

Bam Wudanuphan

Media teacher David Egeler has nominated Port Townsend High School senior Bam Wudanuphan for Student of the Week.

The foreign exchange student from Thailand, under the guardianship of Cynde and Randy Marx of Port Townsend, was selected for her hard work and exemplary effort.

“Bam is a model student. English is her second language, and this creates barriers to her learning, but she always goes the extra mile in her homework and at school to make certain that she understands what is being taught.”

At Port Townsend High School, it’s the beginning of the school year, and Bam has not yet decided what club or organization she wants to join, but she is eager to get involved and help the community.

We think Bam’s superpower is her drive to succeed at school, and in the movie of her life, her theme music should be “Move On Up” by Curtis Mayfield.

Outside school, Bam is working extra time on her homework and hoping to improve her academic English so that she can successfully attend a four year university in the United States or Thailand.

QUILC ENE

Jacob Winn

Mia Gum, the new Agriculture Educator and Quilcene FFA Advisor, has nominated Quilcene High School junior Jake Winn for Student of the Week.

The son of Robert and Colleen Winn of Quilcene was selected for his outstanding leadership and dedication to the Ag Program.

“Cowboy Jake is incredible,” enthused Gum. “Jake was the first student to tell me how excited he was about my program, how grateful he’d become for all my crazy ideas, and that I had brought things to the classroom he had never thought possible! I see Jake put smiles on everyone’s faces daily, but that day Jake inspired me and lifted my spirits beyond belief.”

At Quilcene High School, Jake is the FFA Chapter Vice President. He is proudly stationed by the plow which is the symbol of labor and tillage of the soil. The plow represented all of the hard work and perseverance throughout the years, and we cannot think of any other way to describe Jake!

We think Jake’s superpower is sunshine, because he lights up rooms and warms hearts wherever he goes all the while dancing to the beat of ‘Old Town Road,’ because that is in fact a real Cowboy Jake anthem.

When Jake’s mother, Colleen, was asked what Jake’s plans were after graduation, she stated “He originally wanted to do something with computers, but after the summer project building Quilcene’s first livestock exhibition barn, he has continued to express great interest in AgSciences and CTE.” (CTE stands for Career and Technical Education.)

A R T S & E N T E R TA I N M E N T

John Hillmer painted this piece specifically for the “Blues Taco” exhibit opening this weekend at Fort Worden. Leader photo by Chris McDaniel

‘Wake up and smell the tacos’ CHRIS MCDANIEL CMCDANIEL@PTLEADER.COM When it comes to tacos, the fillings can be anything edible. Painter John Hillmer approaches his art the same way.

“My own art is such a blend, and that is exactly what tacos are,” Hillmer said. “Obviously it is a Mexican reference, which is a country I really admire and love. It is insane, too, and wonderful. Tacos are sort of that amazing mix.

And, you can put anything in a taco.”

Hillmer, 58, splits his time between Bend, Oregon and Mexico, spending most of his time near an expat community south of the border, he said.

“Certainly what is cool about Mexico is they name their streets after artists and poets. You don’t find that in the United States. You go down there and I think it is a more open society to art in general and a lot of people are producing it and creating it.”

Hillmer, a Centrum artist in residence, is the star of the “Blues Taco” exhibit this weekend at Fort Worden. On display are paintings and prints playfully exploring Hillmer’s love of music and the ubiquitous Mexican street taco, as well as art, spirit and travel, Hillmer said.

“There will definitely be some Coronas, and probably some wine. There will be both sides of the border. I will have a mix of new paintings.

These are works in progress. Then I will have prints. It will be a big mix of stuff.”

The theme of music runs deeply through Hillmer’s work which has accompanied many jazz and blues artists in Port Townsend and beyond.

“I lived in Seattle and that was really the start of my adoration for jazz music and blues music,” Hillmer said. “I worked for Earshot Jazz, a nonprofit in Seattle, for about four years and I started doing all this. I was using music as metaphor and doing all their design work and then editing a lot of their stuff. I really became hooked.”

Hillmer’s illustrations and designs have celebrated more than 50 music, literary and community events across North America, including Northwest Folklife Festival, Earshot’s World Jazz Festival and the Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival hosted by Centrum.

“John Hillmer’s work brings the vibrant colors of Mexico into play as his characters dance onto his canvas,” said Mary Hilts, Centrum program manager. “His storytelling is deep, images of the pain and sorrow of world events inform his work, terrorizing elements are depicted as metaphor, ballistic missiles are disguised as fish falling from the sky.”

Hillmer’s symbolism softens the blow of reality as it drills into the consciousness of common humanity, down into the soul, Hilts said.

“His work plays with the balance between joy and sorrow, reality and the subconscious — always inviting the viewer to be light and playful all the while keeping our eye

on the ball.”

Hillmer’s large stage murals have backed up many artists including Ray Charles, Keb’ Mo’, John Lee Hooker and Maya Angelou.

BREAKING DOWN BORDERS Hillmer said Blues Taco is something of a metaphor to reconnect, to break down and to reach out over borders, not to build walls. And since there are a number of roosters in the show, it’s also something of a wake up call, he said.

“Wake up and smell the tacos.”

The roosters are part of Hillmer’s love of birds in general, which are prominent in his artwork.

“Birds are the barometer of a healthy environment and a lot of birds in my stuff do speak to that,” he said. “Birds are spirit.”

At first glance, much of Hillmer’s work could be compared to that of “Saludos Amigos,” a 1942 Disney film that integrated live action cinematography with animation. That film was inspired by a trip to Latin America, much as Hillmer’s has been inspired by his time in Mexico.

“I went to a little town and sort of fell in love with Mexico and knew I had to keep going back,” he said. “For the last 20 years I have done that. I lived in Guadalajara for a while and taught at the American school there. I got a master’s degree in international education and worked with kids there. It was great, probably my best job ever.”

FORT WORDEN STATE PARK, BUILDING 205, DOWNSTAIRS STUDIO. ACROSS FROM MADRONA MIND & BODY

Now, Hillmer resides in a small town a short drive from San Miguel.

“That is gringo central. I think there are a lot of people from Port Townsend who snowbird there. It is lovely. But, I also wanted to get away.”

Another prominent feature in Hillmer’s work is disembodied eyes.

“I did a whole series called ‘Ojos del Jazz’ (Eyes of jazz),” he said. “I continue that. I just love it. It could either be a reference to looking and seeing souls or the eye of the beholder. You get to decide what that means.”

Among his many sources of inspiration, the works of Picasso stand out, Hillmer said.

“Picasso said be fearless and jump in there, so that’s what I do. Then, when I get into it, almost always I am listening to music. Then something usually happens.”

Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader

Running the gauntlet: Marathoning the PT Film Fest Leader movie critic reviews 14 films during red carpet event Kirk Boxleitner kboxleitner@ptleader.com The Port Townsend Film Festival lasts three days, and presents 15 blocks of films, five per day.

Because I covered a news story on the morning of Friday, Sept. 20, I was only able to watch four of that day’s five blocks of films, but I made sure my schedule would be free and clear to watch all five blocks on both Saturday, Sept. 21, and Sunday, Sept. 22.

I came armed with 21 Kirk Boxleitner bottles of soda, two bags MOVIE CRITIC of potato chips, one bag of extra-sugary cereal and one fresh tin of raw cookie dough, to supply me with lunatic strength.

And I’m writing reviews for every feature-length and short film that I’ve watched this weekend.

Maximum effort. Total coverage.

We’re doing this.

Day one THE BOWMAKERS “The Bowmakers” not only elevates an oft-overlooked musical instrument, but also performs a deft interweaving of the historic origins of the bow, as well as the ongoing harvesting of its components, with a collection of profiles of modern-day bowmakers, including a few who are based here in Port Townsend.

Director Ward Serrill admitted that the craftsmanship of violin bows is not an inherently dramatic tale, so like

his mentor Robert Altman, Serrill presented multiple parallel narratives: • Internationally renowned Charles Espey, captured on camera as he painstakingly crafts a single bow while the film touches upon a number of other bowmakers whom he helped school in the art.

• Fellow Port Townsend bowmaker Paul Siefried, who we follow through his job tribulations of losing his health, his employment, his home and his marriage in seemingly rapid succession.

• A hike through the Brazilian forests with “Senior Mario,” who leads the documentary camera crew to one of the Paubrasilia trees which have been harvested for hundreds of years to make bows.

“I wanted this film to be a river of discovery,” Serrill said. “I also wanted a film about music that actually allowed audiences to experience that music, rather than simply playing 10 seconds of people playing instruments before they started talking.”

Given how much bowmakers are like “hobbits working in man caves,” Serrill soon learned his interviews would be more successful if he conducted them while he allowed the bowmakers to continue working.

Rose Theatre co-owner Rocky Friedman appreciated that Serrill made him feel his voice was heard as a producer, and in turn, Friedman not only raised roughly $425,000 for a project whose original fundraising goal was just shy of $400,000, but he was also a hands-on, on-site partner in the process, which included getting eaten alive by mosquitos as they hiked the forests of Brazil.

Looking ahead, Friedman not only plans to produce another film by Serrill, but is also working with Andrea Love, who rendered the history lesson segments of “The Bowmakers” in stop-motion puppetry, to produce a film by her as well.

FROM SHOCK TO AWE “From Shock to Awe” profiles two American military veterans and their wives, all of whom are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, as they explore the use of the psychedelic medicines ayahuasca and Methylenedioxy methamphetamine, the latter also known as MDMA, to treat their PTSD. Matt Kahl served in the 101st Airborne Division from 2007-11, while Mike Cooley was deployed three times, once to Afghanistan and twice to Iraq, before he returned home in 2009.

Brooke Cooley met her husband Mike in 2007 while working at the 148th Military Police Detachment, and Aimee Kahl married Matt in 2007, after they first met in high school in 1994.

Both couples are raising children and are shown coping with the challenges of civilian life, but along the way, Matt attempted suicide via overdose, Mike found himself flying into flashes of rage at his own family, Brooke became hooked on cocaine and methamphetamines to try and keep running the household while Mike fell apart, and Aimee felt shut out by Matt’s withdrawal and refusal to share the experiences that traumatized him.

In one scene, director Luc Côté conveys Mike’s PTSD in a subtle but effective way by filming him as he drives to his college classes and explains what he’s feeling to the camera, and the busier the traffic around him gets, the more twitchy Mike becomes, reflexively checking his side and rear-view mirrors with ever more frequency, because

as he points out, when deployed to a war zone overseas, getting caught in a halted convoy could spell death.

Although both men report vastly improved symptoms with the use of cannabis as a treatment, it’s not until they join a retreat where they take ayahuasca that they seem to experience emotional breakthroughs.

Côté was asked if he felt the need to show instances where ayahuasca or MDMA hadn’t worked for those suffering from PTSD, but he claimed that all of the patients whom he followed over the course of four years of filming had positive experience with the psychedelic medicines.

Indeed, while the first rough cut of “From Shock to Awe” ran for five hours and included testimonials from medical experts and activist groups such as “Weed for Warriors,” Côté ultimately winnowed the film down to the Kahl and Cooley families, whom he deemed “the heart of the story.”

Preceding this film was the documentary short “Constant Thought,” about Iraq war veteran Brandon Kuehn’s attends to manage his own PTSD through outdoor therapies.

While his initial approach, an attempt to walk the 2,650 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, is less than successful, Kuehn comes to realize that the key to healing is for his wife and son to join him as partners on his outdoor excursions, rather than cutting himself off from the emotional support that they want to provide him.

THE PRIMARY INSTINCT As Stephen Tobolowsky jokes in “The Primary Instinct,” he’s been a supporting character actor in films dating back virtually to prehistory, and over the course of three decades and the better part of 300 credited movie and television roles, he’s become a more canny raconteur than many of his deadpan performances might indicate.

“The Primary Instinct” is an expansion of Tobolowsky’s popular podcast, “The Tobolowsky Files,” which began as a vehicle for anecdotes culled from his acting career, but eventually became a showcase for whatever storytelling he wished, including tales of his Texas childhood and his since-deceased parents.

Tobolowsky employs a disarming earnestness and gentle sense of humor to identify what he regards as spiritually profound moments in his life, as he argues that all true stories contain an element of surprise and that everything we do as human beings, from indulging in epicurean pleasures to seeking out deeper truths, is motivated by the quest for transcendence.

Tobolowsky pointed out to the Port Townsend Film Festival screening audience that “The Primary Instinct” was filmed in a single night, in a single take, unlike most live comedy and storytelling concerts, which film multiple showings and then choose the best moments from each one to air.

Even as a child, Tobolowsky took meticulous notes, and now, armed with a smartphone, he can take electronic notes whenever he happens to recall real-life stories or dreams from his younger years, although his wife eventually took his phone away, during the post-screening question-and-answer period, because he pulled it out once too often to remember the details of certain events.

Although Tobolowsky has written a number of “intentionally derivative” screenplays that he wasn’t able to sell, he did co-write the first draft of the screenplay for David Byrne’s “True Stories” in 19 days.

BR I E FS PT’s Martha Krabill to fly home for two concerts Sgt. First Class Martha Krabill, a singer, dancer and daughter of Anne and Dave Krabill of Port Townsend, is on her way back to the North Olympic Peninsula where she will share her vocal chops with her friends and neighbors.

On her official agenda are two Pops and Picnic concerts with the 63-member Port Angeles Symphony Orchestra — in which she’ll have a rare gig sharing the stage with her folks, according to a press release.

Anne, an oboist with the symphony, and Dave, a bassoonist, have watched their daughter’s military and musical career since she joined the Army in 2001. Stationed in Fort Myer, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C., Krabill a sings with the Joint Service Choir at national events such as President George H.W. Bush’s state funeral.

Back where she grew up, Krabill will appear as a featured soloist in Pops and Picnic at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, and at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, at the Vern Burton Community Center, 308 W. Fourth St., Port Angeles.

She’ll do a variety of musical numbers including Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” arranged for symphony orchestra — plus a couple of surprises she chose with conductor Jonathan Pasternack.

“Jonathan has been so open to different ideas I’ve had, and he has also selected a piece out of my regular comfort zone,” Krabill said.

The Pops and Picnic program also includes classics from Bizet and Debussy, the comic “1712 Overture” by P.D.Q. Bach, “The Typewriter” by Leroy Anderson, and selections from the movies and Broadway. Music lovers are invited to bring picnics while the symphony provides beverages, dessert and concert.

Tickets are available via the symphony office, over the phone at 360-457-5579 and at the door.

For more about the orchestra and its 2019-2020 season of performances, visit PortAngelesSymphony.org.

Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader

Running the gauntlet: day two Kirk Boxleitner kboxleitner@ptleader.com

expresses heartfelt pride in the animal’s accomplishments.

ERNIE & JOE One of the first things a viewer of the HBO documentary “Ernie & Joe” is likely to notice is that Texas cops Ernie Stevens and Joe Smarro don’t dress or respond in ways many of us might have come to expect from law enforcement.

Clad in pressed polo shirts and jeans, the two members of the San Antonio Police Department’s mental health unit are still called out by 911, but when they arrive, they’re likely to sit down and chat casually with individuals they have reason to believe might pose a danger to themselves or others.

Stevens and Smarro not only seek to de-escalate potential conflicts, but also help train fellow police officers to do the same, while fulfilling many duties that are more commonly associated with social workers, by steering people away from incarceration and toward mental health treatment.

Stevens tells the cameras that he considers himself lucky to have been assigned Smarro as a partner, and the easygoing, occasionally even lighthearted rapport between the two officers probably helps them cope with daunting realities such as the fact that they can only respond to a fraction of the mental health-related calls that their police department receives.

Stevens is shown to be an empathetic man of faith, whose instincts as a father serve him well in cases involving children, and Smarro is impressive for overcoming traumas such as his own childhood molestation, while also using his background as a Marine to connect with those suffering psychic injuries related to their own military service.

In one particularly haunting recollection, Smarro describes how a potential suicide finally pushed himself off a bridge without a sound, in spite of Smarro’s best efforts to talk him down, and how incongruous it seemed to Smarro that the man didn’t even cry out as he fell.

Port Townsend Police Chief Mike Evans and Navigator Jud Hayes attended a post-screening question-and-answer session with Stevens, as Evans explained that Hayes’ duties for the Port Townsend Police Department would be similar to those of Stevens and Smarro.

LOTTE REINIGER FAIRY TALES The documentary short “Lotte That Silhouette Girl” encapsulates the brief career of German film animation pioneer Lotte Reiniger, whose own voiceover narration explains how she went from being a film buff as a child to entering the world of stage productions, before she became a silhouette animator and invented the multiplane camera, an early innovation that allowed multiple layers to be filmed at multiple speeds to enhance animation’s sense of depth.

While her artistic career was cut short when she was forced to flee from the Nazis in the 1930s, six of her silhouette animation shorts were shown in Port Townsend, complete with musical and sound effects accompaniment (and even some voiceover work) by the performing duo of David Miles Keenan and Nova Karina Devonie, a.k.a.

Miles and Karina. The two likewise scored and provided sound effects for the Port Townsend Film Festival’s screening of Buster Keaton’s “Steamboat Bill, Jr.” last year.

Two of Reiniger’s 1928 installments in “The Adventures of Dr. Dolittle” — “The Journey to Africa” and “The Lion’s Den” — showed the star of Hugh Lofting’s children’s books developing characteristically amicable relationships with wild animals, while the fairy tale trappings of “The Secret of the Marquise” and “The Tocher” turned out to be humorous stealth advertisements for Nivea skin cream and the Post Office Savings Bank, respectively.

“The Grasshopper and the Ant” was the only silhouette animated short shown that was made after the 1930s — in 1954 — and Miles and Karina consulted the original script for their dialogue, although the line in which the ant refers to the grasshopper as a “lazy musician” was Karina’s invention.

“Normally, we choose not to listen to the scores that were originally written for these pieces,” Karina said. “They’re such inspiring works that we come up with our own ideas for melodies and action cues.”

Reiniger’s voiceover narration in “Lotte That Silhouette Girl” expresses an affinity for the harshness of the original Grimm Brothers fairy tales. Reiniger opined that real life itself can be pretty brutal, but it’s notable that her 1922 adaptation of “Sleeping Beauty” features a fairly happy ending.

“I think it’s telling that the first scene in this film showed police officers shooting someone when it wasn’t needed, and midway through the film, we hear about two officers getting shot,” Evans said.

“We’re all hurting, and we all need help, so let’s just do good.”

THE WORK Another block of eight short films, this time all centered around the theme of careers and employment, started with the quick and hilarious “The Job,” which inverts the typical dynamic between white-collar workers and migrant day laborers to literally laugh-out-loud effect.

A married lesbian couple, mountain bikers and pizza parlor co-owners in a small Colorado town are profiled in “Life of Pie.” The film explores how they’ve created a safe space for folks who might otherwise feel like misfits in their relatively conservative community, woven around engaging tracking shots of the two women as they pedal through the surrounding wilderness’ hills and valleys.

“The Shearer” utilizes richly detailed cinematography to capture the work of master sheep shearer Jonathan Hearne and his adult son Ben, while “Eighth Wonder” and “The Last Trap Family” offer slightly different shadings of small, privately-owned commercial fishing companies.

In “Eighth Wonder,” a formerly studious marine biologist finds her true self

by forming a fishing company in Bristol Bay, Alaska, with a rowdy, ragtag bunch of young guys whom she used to babysit.

“The Last Trap Family” follows thirdgeneration Rhode Island trap fisher Corey Forrest as she outlines the practical challenges of keeping her family’s business solvent.

Hurricane Sandy devastated former celebrity bodyguard Billy Durney’s native Brooklyn, but it did nothing to discourage his plans to open a barbecue restaurant there. “Hometown” documents how Durney used the sole remaining barbecue cooker he could salvage from the floods to feed his neighbors in need.

“Hometown” joins “Safe Haven” in the ranks of heartwarming documentary shorts about projects to improve big-city communities, as “Safe Haven” illustrates the hometown pride that the installation of an artificial rock wall-climbing gym gave to the youth of murder-plagued Memphis, Tennessee.

“My Paintbrush Bites” rounds out the documentary shorts with a study of a former racehorse, Metro Meteor, who was coaxed into painting abstract canvases, with a paintbrush between his teeth, by the older couple who adopted him, after his racing career ended due to health issues.

The emotional bond between the horse and his owners is as strong as any between a pet and their humans, and the man who “taught” Metro to paint

Running the gauntlet: day three KIRK BOXLEITNER KBOXLEITNER@PTLEADER.COM

BELLINGCAT: TRUTH IN A POST-TRUTH WORLD As a newspaper reporter, the most harrowing moments of the documentary “Bellingcat: Truth in a Post-Truth World” were when it was highlighting the limits of professional journalism’s powers to combat the spread of misinformation.

As the film points out, many professional journalists are little paid, and even less trained, to conduct investigative journalism by the news organizations that employ them, a number of which have a negligible interest in paying their people to perform such investigative journalism in the first place.

While my own circumstances with The Leader are a bit more favorable, this still makes citizen journalists essential partners in informing the public, and this film portrays the international online network of activist researchers for the Bellingcat website as both astutely analytical and conscientious in their self-appointed duties.

Bellingcat’s citizen reporters explain how purveyors of “fake news,” including governments, rely on tactics ranging from presenting video game screen shots as military surveillance, to staging actors as the victims of car bombings.

Unpaid journalists, whose schedules aren’t dictated by news cycles, can spend more time tugging at loose threads to reveal the truth about supposed evidence that they consider suspect. What they lack is the shielding that comes from working for a news organization, as we see those same governments attempt to sabotage the professional and personal credibility of the Bellingcat journalists.

Worse yet, as the film itself concedes, many of the bad actors’ ultimate goal is simply to undermine the credibility of anyone who might dispute their claims. So even when their own claims are disproven it contributes to the overall climate of skepticism, which at least one of the film’s interviewees warned could drive would-be media consumers even harder toward sources of information that merely confirm their biases.

Because online citizen journalist networks such as Bellingcat cannot offer the inherited esteem of an established journalistic brand, those citizen journalists instead make the transparency of their information the basis of their credibility.

Given that the United Nations’ International Criminal Court in 2017 indicted Libyan commander Mahmoud alWerfalli on the war crime of murder, based almost entirely on evidence drawn from social media, these are now literally life-and-death distinctions.

THE FLIGHT OF THE GOSSAMER CONDOR Director Ben Shedd won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject for “The Flight of the Gossamer Condor” in 1978, and because the Port Townsend Film Festival is ringing in its 20th anniversary this year, its organizers suggested to Shedd that they could screen his film to celebrate its belated 40th anniversary.

Shedd shot his documentary about Paul MacCready’s Gossamer Condor, the first human-powered aircraft officially recognized as capable of controlled and sustained flight, on 16-millimeter film, and while it was transferred to video in the 1980s, before eventually being released in DVD form, the original film master wasn’t transferred to a digital format until literally the Friday before this year’s PT Film Festival Shedd explained how his film schooling in California led him to shoot a documentary about Mars for the California Institute of Technology in 1971, “which suddenly earned me a reputation as a science filmmaker,” and ultimately led to him becoming one of the founding producers of PBS’s “Nova” in 1974.

“I was making lots of films about test tubes, which don’t make for great visuals, when I heard this guy say he was going to win the Kremer Prize,” Shedd said, elaborating that the Kremer Prize promised to award £50,000, or $95,000, for a human-powered aircraft that could complete an official circuit of a figure-eight course around pylons one-half mile apart, with

a 10-foot hurdle at the beginning and the end, covering 1.15 miles.

According to Shedd, he knew MacCready would win the prize, not only because his aircraft had one-tenth of the weight of its competitors, but also because its structure was based on triangles, and Shedd recalled how architect Buckminster Fuller always championed the strength of the triangle.

“The only real bet was how much time it would take (MacCready) to do it,” Shedd said.

“The Flight of the Gossamer Condor” became a staple of science classrooms for a solid decade after its release, complete with a coda informing viewers that MacCready had made a second human-powered aircraft, that managed to cross the English Channel in two hours and 55 minutes in 1979.

TWELVE CONVERSATIONS For two guys who don’t even live in Port Townsend, Italian director Emanuele Valla and first-time screenwriter Joshua Scott have crafted an irresistibly winning tribute to this town with the romantic comedy “Twelve Conversations,” my favorite of all the films I watched on Sunday.

Although Scott hails from Poulsbo, he visits Port Townsend “all the time,” and after he provided songs for three of Valla’s previous films, the two decided to work together on a modestly staged meet-cute that could double as a love letter to the town where it was filmed.

Valla and Scott had a filming availability of eight days, in January of 2018, and a total budget of roughly $4,000 to make their film, whose onscreen star-crossed duo — stuck-ina-rut record store clerk Noah, and free-spirited fellow music aficionado Jane — are played by real-life married couple Gabe Smith and Laurie Getchell.

“In fact, in the one scene where Noah walks past a father and son, the father is Gabe’s father Craig, and the son is Gabe’s son,” Scott said.

Smith and Getchell were the only two actors Valla auditioned for Noah and Jane, and once he saw them, “I said, ‘Well, I guess we’re done.’”

Their offscreen relationship can be felt in the instant, charming chemistry of their characters, while Scott’s dialogue for Noah and Jane, which positions the two as curiously yet cautiously circling around each other, evokes the wandering yet thematically significant exchanges between

would-be couples in any number of 1990s portrayals of young love (Stephen Schumacher, with whom I saw this film, sagely compared it to Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy’s 1995 “Before Sunrise”).

Both Scott and Valla credited cinematographer Claudio Coloretti with not only capturing the quaint picturesque scenery of downtown Port Townsend, but also managing to stage most of the film in the Quimper Sound Records store, where Noah and Jane share all but one of their 12 conversations, without it coming across as claustrophobic.

Valla and Scott expressed their appreciation to their screening audiences, and the Port Townsend Film Festival as a whole, for taking a chance on their first film together.

“As the airlines say, thank you for flying with us,” Valla said. “As a guy who grew up watching American movies, I will forever remember this. You are all in my heart.”

October 4th–5th, 2019

TOXIC PUZZLE: HUNT FOR THE HIDDEN KILLER Blooms of toxic cyanobacteria, a byproduct of a type of blue-green algae, are becoming increasingly common not only in the Pacific Northwest, but around the world.

The frightening possibility that the documentary “Toxic Puzzle: Hunt for the Hidden Killer” presents its audiences with is that these algae blooms could be connected to the worldwide rises in reports of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — a.k.a. ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease — as well as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

Director Bo Landin follows ethnobotanist Paul Cox and his fellow scientists as they investigate the correlations of ALS cases with algae blooms in and around the Great Lakes, the Ohio River, Sweden and even the bone-dry deserts of Qatar.

It’s in Qatar and New Hampshire that the scientists ask themselves whether cyanobacteria particulates can be inhaled through the air, even in the absence of moisture, while the film warns that irrigation in Australia might lead to cyanobacteria being absorbed into the country’s crops.

On the brighter side, Cox’s hunt for a locale where ALS rarely ever occurs leads him to a village in Okinawa, Japan, where the residents routinely live past the age of 100, retaining spry minds and bodies, which he suspects owes to their traditional foodstuffs being rich in the amino acid L-serine.

Indeed, Cox visits an ALS patient in Paris who reported experiencing easier breathing since she began taking supplements of L-serine, to the point that a hospital stay which deprived her of the food supplement saw her labored breathing return.

JON GANN PRESENTS Jon Gann, founder of the DC Shorts and Sunderland Shorts film festivals, has been treating Port Townsend Film Festival audiences to hand-picked selections of short films for the past six years, and this year saw him present eight such compact dramas.

“The Bird and the Whale” uses lush hand-painted animation to portray the brief and bittersweet friendship of a lonely young whale and a caged bird who’s the sole survivor of a shipwreck, which Gann considered an automatic choice because of the quality of its artwork. ”Seven” switches to live-action, and evokes shades of Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” in a manner that Gann described as “chilling,” by depicting the ritualistic response of a rural Norwegian community toward an oil company employee who has killed the village’s elder leader.

“I love monologue films,” Gann said, explaining why he chose “One Cambodian Family Please for My Pleasure,” a family comedy narrated by Emily Mortimer, here playing a lonely Czech refugee living as a neglected housewife and mother in Fargo, North Dakota, as she struggles to praise her frigid and provincial American hometown, so that a charitable service organization might send a Cambodian refugee family to resettle there as well.

“Bini” offers a far more harrowing

draws upon his own childhood to show 6-year-old Bini and his family, in Nushi’s hometown of Kosovo in 1999, just as they’re rounded up by Serbian soldiers and forcibly transported to the Albanian border.

“Nushi was able to return to Kosovo to shoot it, which is why it looks so authentic,” Gann said. “It’s a real punch to the gut.”

“Are We Good Parents?” proceeds like a comedy of manners rewritten as a parody of modern liberalism, as the parents of a 14-year-old girl agonize over whether they’ve been sufficiently accepting of what they suspect her sexual orientation to be, with the white dad and the black mom descending into the absurdity of seeing which one can out-“woke” the other.

As for “The Boat,” Gann said he had to show it because of the relative novelty of being able to offer a Russian comedy on the lineup, even if the comedy revolves around warnings of a global flood, and one young man’s seemingly naive conviction that he’ll be able to weather those storms in a modestly appointed boat, barely big enough for two.

The French film “Automne” uses creative computer-generated and handpainted animation to imagine autumn as one of four creations of a celestial workshop of the seasons, while the German “Heartstrings” centers around an outwardly lovelorn but emotionally manipulative old man who attempts to guilt a former flame into picking up where they left off, even if it means misrepresenting his own plight to ply her sympathies.

“Every film festival’s audience is different,” Gann said. “I chose ‘The Boat’ because I felt like you would understand it, while other audiences might not. I wanted to provide a diversity of storytelling styles and messages.”

Day Two: “My Brilliant Career” chosen by Strayed continued from page B4 MY BRILLIANT CAREER When the Port Townsend Film Festival asked Cheryl Strayed, author of the memoir “Wild,” to select a film that was a formative influence on her as an aspiring writer, she chose “My Brilliant Career” from 1979, based on the semi-autobiographical 1901 novel by Miles Franklin, a female writer who wrote under a male pseudonym in order to get published.

Set in the Australian farming country of the late 19th century, “My Brilliant Career” casts Judy Davis, who played French novelist George Sand in “Impromptu,” as a rebellious young would-be writer named Sybylla Melvyn, who’s asked to choose between the unlikely possibility of a literary career, versus the assured stability of a marriage to the handsome and affluent Harry Beecham, played

by Sam Neill with almost as much devilish charm as he brought to “Omen III: The Final Conflict.”

“When young Sam Neill first appeared onscreen, I heard a lot of moaning in the audience,” Strayed laughed.

Both Strayed and Seattle Times arts critic Moira Macdonald first saw “My Brilliant Career” when they were 19 years old, years after the film’s initial release, and while Strayed acknowledged that many formative stories don’t necessarily stand the test of time as one grows older, “My Brilliant Career” is a film that she and Macdonald found even more meaningful now than they did when they first saw it.

“What I didn’t see before is that Sybylla is a bit of a drama queen,” Macdonald said.

“But when she says not to be afraid to call her egotistical, that’s still resonant.”

“Even in 2019, we’re still grappling with the idea that women can be unapologetic,” Strayed said. “It’s a radical idea now, so it was really radical back then.”

Strayed praised the subtle ways in which Sybylla and Harry’s “erotic longing” was conveyed, in one scene via an extended pillow

fight that sees the two characters chasing each other outdoors, until they lie together in an open field, with the pillows beneath their heads, exhausted “as if they’ve just made love.”

Even as Strayed admitted that a part of her wished Sybylla had accepted Harry’s offer of marriage, since the two characters shared a genuine love, Strayed nonetheless appreciates that the story recognized the reality of that era, that Sybylla could not have pursued her writing career even with a loving husband by her side.

“She says straight out, over and over again, that she’s never getting married, and no one believes her,” Strayed said. “Even the movie doesn’t fully believe her, because it builds up all these cues that seem to be leading to her

Day Three: Spotlight on ALS continued from page B5

Dr. Sandra Banack, one of the scientists on Cox’s team, explained to screening audiences that exposure to algae blooms alone is likely not enough to cause ALS. “It’s like holding a gun to your head,” Banack said. “The gun is your genetics, and the environmental conditions are the trigger. It’s a matter of chronic exposure to small amounts over the long term.”

“Toxic Puzzle” was followed by the documentary short “Grateful,” about ALS patient Jenni Berebitsky, who retained her positive attitude even as she balanced the challenges of her condition with the responsibilities of being a wife and mother, as well as completing a triathlon with help from her friends.

Although her initial diagnosis gave her only months to live, she managed to live for more than 10 years with ALS, celebrating her 40th birthday and writing a book about her experiences.

Jenni’s mom, Joyce Kleinman, thanked the Port Townsend Film Festival for screening “Grateful,” even as she noted that her daughter had passed away three weeks before.

“I feel like our roles reversed when she had ALS,” Kleinman said. “She became like my mom, teaching me that death should be regarded as part of the beauty of life, rather than being forbidden or taboo to speak about. We were very honest about everything, and she was all about the quality of life.”

getting married, but in the end, it honors the spirit of the novel, and the last kiss she gives is to her manuscript, before she mails it to the publisher.”

PHOENIX, OREGON Stephen Tobolowsky’s “The Primary Instinct” was my favorite of all the films I saw on Friday.

“Phoenix, Oregon,” by writer/director Gary Lundgren and producer Anne Lundgren was my favorite of all the films I saw on Saturday.

James Le Gros, whose work I last reviewed in the dramedy film “Support the Girls,” has a face that’s almost architecturally designed to convey resigned disgruntlement, which makes him a perfect choice to play Bobby, a bartender at a chintzy Italian restaurant who’s living in the airstream trailer he inherited

COLEWELL While “Ernie & Joe” won this year’s award for Best Documentary Feature — and deservedly so in my opinion, in spite of my affection for “The Primary Instinct” — it was the return of Karen Allen to the screens of the Port Townsend Film Festival that nabbed her contribution, “Colewell,” the award for Best Narrative Feature.

Writer-director Tom Quinn furnishes Allen with a superb vehicle for her earthy, understated acting talents, as she plays Nora, the postmaster of the tiny town of Colewell, Pennsylvania, whose quiet life is governed by the routines of her morning meetings with fellow post office worker Charles (played by the always welcome and underrated Kevin J. O’Connor) and her day-to-day chats with the town residents who stop by the Colewell Post Office.

Cinematographer Paul Yee’s languorously paced shots of Nora cooking up her eggs and coffee, and of the mists rolling over the autumnal hills of the rural Pennsylvania countryside, recall director David Lynch’s frequent remonstrations to his peers, that they should allow their scenes to “breathe” more.

This film is excellent when Nora and the townsfolk learn that the U.S. Post Office plans on shutting down its Colewell branch, as well as a number of equally rural and remote offices, because Quinn so authentically captures the dynamic of an isolated community at odds with a bureaucracy that means them no ill will, but is frankly unconcerned with the extent to which those folks rely on the resources that are about to be taken away from them.

When the town’s retirees object that the loss of the Colewell Post Office will deprive them of the one place where the community comes together, and the U.S. Post Office representatives coldly point out that providing such a place is not their job, it feels all too real in how both sides are talking past each other.

Where I’d argue “Colewell” errs is a subplot involving a young woman named Ella (Hannah Gross) who briefly visits Nora before she heads back out onto the open road, and whose continued story never intersects with the rest of the characters again.

Also, while I recognize that real-life events rarely wrap up their plot threads with a neat and tidy bow, I wish more modern filmmakers who are seeking to evoke a sense of realism would recognize that a cold stop is not the same thing as a proper conclusion.

On that note, having broken my previous attendance records for the Port Townsend Film Festival, my conclusion will be a well-earned nap, after I help my colleagues get the rest of the newspaper out the door for this week.

from his mother.

He’s also too timid to do anything with the $50,000 she left him, until his coworker, Carlos the chef, proposes they quit their jobs and open a bowling alley pizza parlor together.

The Lundgrens credited Le Gros, with whom they’ve worked before, with helping to attract a stellar ensemble cast.

This includes some faces audiences might find familiar, such as Lisa Edelstein from “House” as Bobby’s business partner and unrequited crush Tanya, and “Office Space” alumnus Diedrich Bader as Bobby and Carlos’ shamelessly abusive former boss Kyle.

The Lundgrens also got a lot of mileage out of Jesse Borrego as the relentlessly enthusiastic Carlos, and Kevin Corrigan as the insufferably arrogant, absurdly posturing repairman Al. “Kevin was a bit nervous about his bowling scenes, because he’s not really a bowler,” Gary Lundgren said. “So we told him to just show off, as if he had talent, and he came up with all these little dance moves on his own.”

A subplot involving the graphic novel that Bobby has yet to finish allowed Gary Lundgren to avoid filming flashback scenes, which he dislikes.

“I love comics and graphic novels,” Lundgren said. “I thought framing the past through comic art was a neat narrative device, but I wasn’t sure if audiences wanted to look at a bunch of comic panels.”

Fortunately for Lundgren, he reported that audiences have responded well.

Lundgren also struggled with the story’s resolution, since he wanted to portray Bobby’s personal growth in a realistic manner, without being “too saccharin,” but he also wanted it to feel satisfying for the audience.

And yes, there is a Phoenix, Oregon, in real life, located between Ashland and Medford, even though the film was shot at an existing bowling alley in Klamath Falls.

“I always thought it was so weird that there was a Phoenix, Oregon, and like ‘Paris, Texas,’ I thought it worked as a film title,” Gary Lundgren said.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) An upcoming trip could create some problems with your schedule unless you tie up as many loose ends as possible before you head out the door. Ask a friend or colleague to help you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Being eager to start a new project is fine. However, moving ahead without knowing what actually will be expected of you could cause a problem down the line. Ask some questions.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Getting through some recent challenges in good shape might give you a false sense of security. Don’t relax your guard. You need to be prepared for what else could happen.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Caution is still advised, even though you think you’re as prepared as you need to be. Keep in mind that change is in your aspect, and you should expect the unexpected.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Lion’s gift of persuasion helps you get your points across, even to some of your most negative naysayers. An old friend might seek you out for some advice.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Being sure of your convictions is fine. But leave some room for dissenting opinions. You might learn something that could help you avoid a possible problem later on.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Getting good legal advice on what your rights actually are is the first step toward resolving that pesky problem so that it doesn’t re-emerge at a later date. Good luck.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Longtime relationships work well this week, whether they’re personal or professional. It’s a good time to invite new friends and colleagues into your life.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good week to do the research that will help you uncover those irrefutable facts that can back you up on your new venture when you most need it.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Change is an important factor in your aspect this week and could affect something you might have thought was immune to any sort of adjustment or “alteration.”

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Being asked to share someone’s deeply personal confidence might be flattering, but accepting could be unwise. Decline gracefully but firmly.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) As wise as you are, you could still be misled by someone who seems to be sincere but might not be. Take more time to assess the situation before making any commitments.

Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader

A fro-yo farewell to summer CHRIS MCDANIEL CMDANIEL@PTLEADER.COM June Stafford, 12, of Port Townsend can’t get enough frozen yogurt after school.

“I have always harrassed my parents to go get frozen yogurt a lot now it’s right here,” she said.

Stafford, and her little brother Osha Bicha, 8, recently tried out O’Yummy Frozen Yogurt, 213 Taylor St. in Port Townsend.

Stafford says she will be a regular.

Owner Kallada “Ole” Brown, a transplant from Thailand, opened the shop on Aug. 29.

Although frozen yogurt is not a Thai food, Brown says she loves it.

And, it is a healthy treat, Brown said.

“We use fruit sugar, which is better than cane sugar, and we also have the option to have stevia sweetened frozen yogurt.

We have two or three choices of non-dairy.”

Although healthy, the frozen yogurt is still creamy and yummy, Brown said. “ You don’t have to feel guilty unless you put too much candy topping, but that is your choice.”

The new shop is open seven days a week.

At Right: A frozen concoction topped with fruit.

Below: June Stafford loads up on caramel sauce.

Below Right: Kallada “Ole” Brown says she can never get tired of eating frozen yogurt, especially with all the toppings.
