talksSeptember 29 -- 7:00 pm -- at GHCC

Welcome to Fall and the continuation of our Tuesday Talks at the Com-munity Center. Our science programs have been very popular and, on September 29, we welcome Hugh Shipman, Matt Brincka and Peg Til-

lery to offer a timely topic: “Bluffs and Shorelines - What’s a homeowner to do?”

Here’s the list of people who need to meet our group of experts:• Anyonewhoownsapieceofbeach.• Anyonewholivesonabluff.• Anyonewho likes to go to thebeach.• Anyone who cares about thestability of those bluffs that tower over Puget Sound beaches.• Anyone who would prefer notto see major chunks of land slide down across roads, railroad tracks and beaches each winter.• Anyone interested in learningabout the various kinds of stone, sand and clay they find on the beach.• AnyonewholivesinGreaterHansvillebecausewearesurroundedbybeauti-ful bluffs and beaches...all of us!

Who is Hugh Shipman and what does he know about Bluffs and Beaches?Hugh Shipman, a Coastal Geologist with the Washington Department of Ecol-ogy, is an authority on seaside bluffs and beaches. He can tell you about beaches and bluffs on Puget Sound and specifically in the Hansville area and what you need to know to help maintain them. Expect information about erosion control, preventing it and some of the softer approaches that are being developed.

What is the Shore Stewards Program and why should I care?The WSU Shore Stewards program provides guidelines and resources for living on or near waters of the Salish Sea regions, including Puget Sound, Strait of Juan de Fuca, Strait of Georgia, and lakes, rivers, streams, and coasts in the area. Matt Brincka,WaterResourcesAssociate,willexplainthenewlyrevisedprogramandhow you can benefit from their programs and research. You can download the Guide to Shoreline Living @shorestewards.cw.wsu.edu.

What can I do with planting along bluffs and beaches?Peg Tillery, recently retired WSU Horticulture and Shoreline Educator and current contribu-tor to West Sound Magazine and The Kitsap Sun, will share her expertise and show plant-ings and root structures that will help main-tain our bluffs and shoreline. Peg is a frequent visitor to Hansville in both a professional and personal role since she is a member of our local Flotsam & Jetsam Garden Club.

We may be part of the problem, but can learn to be part of the solution.

Please come and participate in this free event.

PUBLICNOTICE:WANTBETTERINTERNETSERVICE?By Denny Johnson

Kitsap PUD (KPUD) is researching the feasibility of providing the speed of fiber inter-net to Kitsap County. Neither CenturyLink nor Comcast has indicated any interest in upgradingwhattheyconsideraruralmarket.AspartoftheresearchKPUDiscon-

ducting a survey through a web site (http://kpud.servicezones.net). They are attempting to gauge the interest as a justification for committing the necessary resources.

The more people that take the survey, the more interest the county thinks is here and the more likely they are to budget for us. It would give several areas within the Greater Hans-ville area a chance to upgrade their Internet service significantly. If you’re interested in participating in this survey, if not for yourself perhaps for your neigh-bors, then please take a look at the provided information and survey. We understand there is no commitment to the proposed service by taking the survey. Watch for a public forum with more information as this project develops. Contact informa-tion is on the link.

HELLOPOTENTIALCHAIRYOGIS!

Yup, that’s what they call anyone who practices yoga (females are yoginis, and no, honest, I didn’t make that up). The Community Center and Marcia Randall DeBard are offering free monthly chair

yoga.Thethree-monthtrialbeginsAugust31soyoumightwanttoputit on your calendar right now.

WHEN: “Last Monday of the Month” (remember, some months have 5 Mondays).

For starters, the dates are: Aug.31--Sept.28--Oct.26

Watch the Log for reminders.

We’ll meet at 2:00 pm for a 1-hour practice. I’m a stickler for starting on time (and for not allowing latecomers to interrupt our practice). I’ll arrive 15 minutes early to open the room, and you can come set up your spot and be ready to begin promptly at 2:00 pm. If you’re going to be late, please skip it and just come (a little earlier) the next month. So, you might want to think of it as “I get to chair yoga at 1:45.” :-)

Since this is a three-month trial, please tell your friends about it and encourage them to give it a try. If there’s enough interest, we’ll continue after the holidays. Onward!

We’ll get started at 1:00 pm so grab a favorite potluck item to share, your own place settings and join us. Coffee and juice will be provided. We’d like to thank the kind community members who have given of their time to host our summer events including Russ and Sherry Cordiner, Gene and Pat DuVall, Don and Juli Swanberg and the Hol-brookfamily.AspecialthankyougoesouttoGeneDuVall for coming up with his creative charcoal heat source which made it possible to continue our traditional Wednesday Beach Night during this dangerously dry summer.

Your generous donations humble us each year and it is only with your help that we are able to maintain the historic Schoolhouse and continue with the traditional events that make Eglon such an endearing place to live. We hope that we continue to live up to your expectations. Thank you.

EGLON COMMUNITY NEWSBy Jackie Holbrook

THANKYOUTOALLTHEVOLUNTEERS!!By Lynn Hix

The 46thAnnualRummageSalehascomeandgone.Nowcomes the time to thank the community of volunteers that have worked all through the year to make this year’s

sale very successful. Once the tents were up and the items put on display, the question asked many times was, “Where does a small community like Hansville continue to have this much “stuff” to donate year after year?” We are thankful that you do! The people asking this question are among the hardest work-ing volunteers you could ask for in an event like the Rummage Sale.

Within this event, all year long, I have experienced many selfless acts of kindness from many individuals, too many to mention in this article. However, each of you who participated in this year’s

sale, approximately 130, know who you are and what you did, big or small, to bring the sale to fruition and have it be an over-whelming success.

This year we did have some special people outside the Greater HansvilleAreatoacknowledge,theyaretheNavySubmarinersfrom Bangor and Hill Moving and Storage, without them we might still be setting up!

Asalways,therewillbeanothersalenextyear,August13&14,2016, and with it comes the opportunity to become a member of the best volunteer group ever put together.

THANKYOUTOALLTHEVOLUNTEERS!!!

In the June issue of the Log, I started a series of excerpts from the 1902 pub-lication of 55 pages of instructions

by the “UNITED STATES LIGHT-HOUSEESTABLISHMENT”toalllighthousekeep-ers and masters of light-house vessels, some of which are very explicit and so detailed as to be superfluous. Here are a few more:

“7. Keepers must not engage in any (pre-sumably commercial) traffic on light-house premises, and they must not per-mit it by anyone else. They must not carry on any business or trade elsewhere which will cause them to be often absent from the premises, or to neglect, in any way, their proper duties.

9.All keepers at light-stations shallwear a uniform in accor-dance with the uniform regulations issued by the Board. They shall provide themselves with a regulation working suit which shall be worn when they are engaged in dirty work about their stations. When cleaning lamps and lenses they shall wear the aprons provided for this purpose.

10. The utmost neatness of buildings and premises is demanded. Bedrooms, as well as other parts of the dwelling, must be neatly kept. Untidiness will be strongly reprehended, and its continuance will subject a keeper to dismissal.

12. Keepers must report promptly to the inspector, on the proper form, all wrecks which take place in the vicinity of their stations. All the facts relating to the wreck (whether or not

the light was seen, etc.) must be ascer-tained and the account embodied in the report. It is the duty of lighthouse keep-ers to aid wrecked persons as far as lies in their power.

13. Every precaution must be taken against fire. Fire buckets, when pro-vided, must be kept filled with water and ready for use in a fixed place. In case of the ignition of mineral oil, it can be better extinguished with sand or ashes than with water.

14. Boats are furnished to light-stations where they are neces-sary for communication with the mainland, to obtain house-hold supplies, or they are supplied that keepers may perform their public duties properly. They are not provided for personal benefit and convenience. Keepers are forbidden to use boats thus placed in their charge for any other than light-house pur-poses. The boats must not be used for freighting, wrecking, fishing with seines, ferrying, or for carrying goods or passen-gers for hire.

16.All expense arising from loss of or damage toboats andtheir equipment which, upon investigation, may appear to be the result of neglect or improper use of them by the keepers, shall be deducted from their salaries.”

So, no moonlighting, wear your apron, make your bed, report wrecks, no fishing, don’t break it.

More leaves are turning brown and falling from the alder and maple trees telling us that Fall is just around the corner. However

weather experts are predicting continued warmer and drier days through September. That means we need to continue to be aware of the very high fire

danger whenever we’re hiking in the Greenway. Please -- no smoking.

Since July, the volunteer stewards have not been able to use anygas-poweredtoolsbecauseoftheverydryconditions.Anydowned trees or heavy limbs have to be cut with hand tools. If you see any downed trees or brush that needs to be trimmed or removed, please let us know at Hansvillegreenway.org. There is

also a link to the Greenway’s Facebook page. There are a few routine maintenance projects that will be per-formed later this month and in October. In the meantime, if you see any invasive weeds or small Holly plants, you can help by pulling them up, taking them out and throwing them in the garbage.Asalways,pleasekeepyourpetsonaleashandpickup after them. Mutt-mitts are available from dispensers located at most of the trailheads.

HANSVILLEGREENWAYUPDATE

WINDOWS 10 — DO YOU NEED IT?ByArtEllison

ABEComputerConsultants,LLC

So--the time is here and people are upgrading to Windows 10. I am getting a lot of calls from people asking if Win-dows 10 is for them. My answer is usually something along

the lines of “if you want to.” Will the world end if you don’t? Nah. You will have one year to decide if you want the free upgrade that is available to all Win 7 and 8 and 8.1 users. Many techs will recommend you wait a month or two for all the bugs to get ironed out. Sony recommends that you wait until October.

Some caveats should you go for the upgrade: Do not attempt the upgrade unless you have all the Windows updates installed. Also,itmightbeareallygoodtimetodothatscanforvirusesandothermalware.AsImentionedlastmonth,createasystemimage before you upgrade just in case it all goes south on you. Then you can easily go back to what you were doing.

The Start Menu: This has been a major pain for many who are

using Windows 8 and 8.1. The menu just doesn’t work like many think it should--like it always has. Some people (me included) have installed a menuing program (I use Classic Shell) to make the menu work like in the past. Windows 10 has not reverted to the old Start Menu. You can remove the tiles from your start screen if you wish or move them around and resize them. There is still the option of using Classic Shell or a similar program.

If you don’t upgrade, you will continue to get the “do you want to upgrade” message. It comes from a Windows update (KB 3035583). There is a way to get rid of this message. The instruc-tions are readily available on the internet, but we can help you, too.
