out the address post in front of the
BBV office, as well as the address
sign on the side of the building.

The BBV Golf Club promotes an organized
golfing environment created in the spirit of the game of golf, open to men and
women of all experience and skill levels.
The Scramble Club
for beginners and intermediate golfers.
No Handicap Required.
Join new golfers and intermediate golfers and play in orga-
nized tournaments. In a scramble format, each player in a
group hits a shot and then all players play forward from the
group’s best ball through putting. This is a relaxed, fun way
to get out on the course and play with golfers with similar
golf skills. Mondays at 3:30pm. Drop by the Pro Shop to
join.
On Tournament Days
There is still room on the course for other players.

mat with four person teams playing from six red tees, six
white tees and six blue tees. This tournament with a $500
payout attracted a group of 48 players and the winning team

Fundraiser Tournament
Fish Fry Dinner, Live Auction The Fundraiser tournament / Fish Fry held on July 16/17 was
another great success for the players and auction attendees.
The Social Committee served up a delicious meal. Many
thanks to Herb Beitel and Bob Simpson who kept the auc-
tion fast-paced and fun.
The community support for the
Fundraiser was outstanding with
a record number of hole spon-
sors, auction items and raffle
items; and member-selected diffi-
cult, but fun, pin locations. The
funds raised will help continue
our Junior Program as well as
course and facility improve-
ments.
Thanks to all our sponsors, do-
nors, tournament golfers, auction buyers, Al Koch and Stu
Smith in the Pro Shop, and our social committee for making
this a success.

G O L F L E S S O N S JUNIOR GOLF - for youth ages 8-16 years with lessons on
Saturdays at 10am (weather permitting). Juniors will learn
golf fundamentals, course etiquette, course management, and
rules.
INTRODUCTION TO GOLF -This flexible golf instruction
program goes for five weeks and consists of five 90-minute
lessons taught at the practice area and on the course. This is
an excellent class for a beginner’s introduction to golf or for
a long time golfer who has never been trained on the funda-
mentals of the golf swing.
Classes cover putting, chipping, pitching, and full swing with
irons, fairway woods, and driver. During the on-course por-
tion of each class, we cover topics such as: golf etiquette,
course management, and the rules of golf. By the end of the
class, students will be familiar with playing on a golf course,
how to play with other golfers, and will have a practice plan
that will help them improve their newly acquired skills.
The following class is forming for August: Fridays,
2pm - Adults - Introduction to Golf
To find out more about our Golf Club programs, email Ernie
Hutchins at [email protected] and be added to the
mailing list for program announcements.
Summer Reminders for All
Respect private property at all times.
Non-golfers: The golf course may seem empty and invit-
ing but it remains in use for golfing only. So, please,
no walking, biking, playing, etc., on the course; don’t
risk being injured or causing inadvertent damage to
the course.
Honor the ‘honor box’: If you don’t have a valid/current
Annual Golf Pass and the Golf Shop is closed, you
must pay the $14 day fee.
Golfers: The course is still prone to damage during the
summer, so please keep motor carts on the concrete
pathways as much as possible, keep hand carts off tee
boxes and greens, and repair fairway and green div-
ots that you and others make to keep the course
healthy and in good playing condition for those who
follow. Thank you!
See you on the tee at BBV!!!

YACHT CLUB NEWS
And the hits just keep on coming! The Birch Bay Village
YC Cruise Committee just keeps bringing their ‘A’ game
when it comes to hosting cruises. The “Around Orcas”
cruise, hosted by Russ and Marsha Murkowski and co-
hosted by Ralph and Marion Falk, was another example
of the energy and creativity that our cruising team
brings to cruising.
The cruise started off with an impromptu stop at
Sucia Island. It seems many boats had the same idea, and
we had a significant contingent to get a jump start on
the festivities. Then it continued strong on the two Or-
cas Island stops, Rosario and Deer Harbor. Cruise
Hosts on Bays Finale (Russ and Marsha Murkowski), and
Keolani (Ralph and Marion Falk) were joined by Blown
Away (Steve and Lynda Brand), Commander (Bill and Lyn Rackley), Makena Cove (Rick and Lynda Smith), Phase 2
(Bob and Pat Simpson and their delightful guests), Sans
Souci (Ed Stipkala and Marian Hickey), Shepherd Moon
(Dave and Gaye Sawicki), and True North (Chris and Ag-
nes Doutre). Benz (Jerry Stege) returned home after
Sucia but most of us continued on as far as Deer Har-
bor. At both stops, our hosting team organized some
fun activities, like a scavenger hunt and some games. The
Simpson crew won first prize in the scavenger hunt, but
there were several prizes handed out, including a pound
of bacon for Commodore Bill Rackley. You’ll have to
ask him how that came about.
As the acting Cruise Committee Chairman, I im-
press upon the hosts that all the plans for meals on the cruise are strictly a function of how much energy they
want to put into it. After all, they’re supposed to have
fun too. But that never seems to result in a shortage of
delicious meals provided for the hungry cruisers. The
hosts really outdid themselves this time, I think, with
toasted bagels in the breakfast menu at Rosario, where
even a bit of rain couldn’t “dampen” our enjoyment, and
individual fruit-granola-yogurt parfaits for breakfast at
Deer Harbor. And if you missed this cruise then you
missed what was possibly the yummiest burgers for din-
ner. And, of course, our cruisers always come through
with delicious side dishes and appetizers.
At Deer Harbor, our hosts arranged for a van to
take anyone interested up Mount Constitution. The
view from the top is spectacular, and it really reminds us
all of just what an amazing part of the world we live in.
And a bit of the history of the island can be found there as well. Anyone who cared to could stop in East Sound
for a bit of shopping, then Bill drove everyone back to
Page 5 Birch Bay Village Bulletin - August 2016

the boats where some serious afternoon loafing could
happen. We even had time for an impromptu jam ses-
sion with Agnes Doutre and Steve Brand.
Our last evening at Deer Harbor was really fes-
tive, with a dinner at the Deer Harbor Inn. By this time,
Larry and Sharin VanderYacht joined us, just adding
some more happy smiles and good energy to our fun
group. It was a huge group, and the staff at the restau-
rant never skipped a beat serving us. Special requests,
split plates, and separate checks didn’t faze them at all.
And all this enhanced by the fact that they gave us a
room to ourselves, which allowed for a bit of a presen-
tation to be done. The “Boo Boo” burgee was earned
by and presented to Steve Brand. But you’ll have to ask him how that came about. It was a really great way to
top off this segment of the cruise.
Alas, many cruisers had commitments back
home, so only five of our boats went on to Roche Har-
bor. It was a tearful farewell for some on Wednesday.
Three days of warm, gorgeous weather settled in mak-
ing it easy to just laze around, shop, explore Mosquito
Pass and English Camp by dingy, or climb up on
someone’s fly bridge and enjoy Roche’s daily lowering of
the “colors” ceremony at sunset. The next morning our
hosts pulled off another hit potluck breakfast. Featured
were Marion Falk’s fabulous breakfast casserole and
Marsha Murkowski’s tasty breakfast burritos. The last
afternoon saw a really fun Bocce Ball tourney at the har-
bor’s almost regulation and almost level courts. Every-
one played. Ralph Falk presented the winning team a
tasty chocolate bar then pulled out another large bag of chocolates in which everyone shared. It was a great way
to spend a pleasant afternoon.
Finally, it was time to return to Birch Bay. Some
went straight home and some went to Sucia to get a
break in the long ride. Two went to Jones Island. Wher-
ever they wound up, they all wore smiles as they
thought about the wonderful trip they had just complet-
ed. I can’t say enough about the team on this year’s
Cruise Committee. I hope everyone had as much fun as
I did, and I hope to see lots of you on the next cruise.
Agnes Doutre.

MARINA TIDBITS
Dock space in the BBV marina is very limited. To pre-
vent accidents and keep unwanted difficulties from aris-
ing, it is necessary for everyone to pitch in and keep the
dock area around each boat slip clear of: buckets,
shrimp pots, crab pots, extra lines, buoy’s, tender/dinghy’s and a host of other items. (see Marina R&R’s
5.5 regarding keeping the docks clear of debris).
I know it can be difficult to both remove fishing gear/
crab pots from your boat in order to clean and straight-
en up without placing items on the dock. Extra items
that you are tempted to leave on the dock should either
be put back on your boat when you are finished clean-
ing it, or be removed from the dock entirely.
Items left on the dock are detrimental in many ways.
Wet items left on the wooden dock does not allow the
wood to completely dry and hastens wood rot. Nor-
mally this is not a big deal, however it has a cumulative
affect if it is done over and over again for many years.
Items left on docks are also subject to being stolen OR,
if left for too long will be confiscated. Also, when items
are left on the dock it makes dock maintenance difficult.
Even something as simple as sweeping mussel shells and
barnacles off the dock becomes a major ordeal. When
that happens, the Dock Guy (me) will just move to the
next finger and clean or do maintenance there.
Please, let’s all do our part to maintain a safe and litter-
free dock facility.
Thank you
Terry (The Dock Guy)
MANAGER’S NOTES
I was asked to clarify for membership the difference be-
tween an A.E.D and a defibrillator, there seems to be some
confusion as to terminology.
An A.E.D. and a Defibrillator are the same thing. The
A.E.D. units are Defibrillators. There are currently two
units in the Village. Security has one in the Security truck
and there is one mounted by the door in the Clubhouse.
When first purchased, we needed a doctor's prescription
to be able to purchase the units, but over the years the
unit have become so automatic and easy to use, that one
can purchase them at Costco. The units talk to you and tell
you how to hook them up and then will not allow a shock
to someone who is not in need of a shock, so do not hesi-
tate to use one if there is ever an emergency that may re-
quire a jolt..

CITATIONS
REMINDER—when it comes to removing those
pesky weeds from your property, DO NOT
BURN them out. Burning weeds might seem like
a quick way of dealing with them, but many unin-
tentional fires have been started that way espe-
cially during this time of year when vegetation is very dry.

OFFICE NOTES
NOTARY
Notarization at the BBVCC office is BY AP-
POINTMENT ONLY. Please do not show up
at the office without an appointment, the nota-
ry is not always available. Contact the BBVCC
office at least 24 hours in advance to set up an
appointment for the notary.
Thank you!
ATTENTION
Do your part to keep BBV the wonderful place
it is to live in. Do not drop cigarette butts or any sort of
trash on people’s property or even com-
mon areas. There are plenty of trash cans
available at the parks throughout the Village. Also, don’t let your dog onto people’s prop-
erty to ‘do their duty’. Be respectful, pick up
after your pooch. During the summertime there are more
people walking, riding bikes or skateboards,
or driving their golf carts on the BBV roads,
drive cautiously and be aware of your sur-
roundings.
MARINERS
If you have room and are willing to sublet a
portion of your dock space for a crab boat,
please contact the BBV office. There is al-
ready a wait list for monthly moorage, so an
available spot would be greatly appreciated.

nations are always needed throughout the year.
If you could not attend the Food Bank Hot
Dog Roast Benefit on July 16, please check
your cupboards and pantries for those extra
food items that can be donated to the community food bank
to help families in our Blaine/Birch Bay community. Non-
perishable food items can be dropped off at the Clubhouse
anytime it is open for any event. Please do not bring food
that has an expiration date prior to August 2016. The
Blaine Clothing Bank has a bin next to their entry door for
clothing donations so you can drop donations off at anytime.
There is also a clothing bin in the BBV Clubhouse. Dona-
tions of clean adult and children’s clothing are welcomed.
