The first of the four planned radio presentations has been recorded with KPTZ. The
panel was with First Responders, Garin Williams with the PT Police, Jim Vaughan with
Jefferson Healthcare ER and Anne Dean with SAAB. We are waiting to hear from KPTZ
as to when the program will be aired.
The next presentation will be a parent, a sibling and young person in recovery. Kelly
Matlock has connected with a parent and a sibling who are willing to discuss their
experience with a child and a sibling with a substance abuse issue. Chase Glenn will
connect with a Gray Wolf resident to be the young person in recovery for this
presentation. All of this is still in process.

School and Chimacum Middle School to brainstorm ways that the classes can continue to
be presented. There may be some interesting possibilities.
Protecting You / Protecting Me - new
Greg Peterson had intended to facilitate the 1st through 3rd grade PY/PM this spring, but
he was new to this position this year and he had his hands full with learning all of the
various parts to his job. He is committed to doing not only the 1st through 3rd grade
classes next school year, he has also committed to doing the 4th grade classes next
school year.
Mike Evans and Garin Williams with PT Police presented the 5th grade classes at Blue
Heron in May. JCPH has received wonderful comments on their classes from teachers,
students and parents. Kelli Greenspane with the Sheriff’s Dept. facilitated the classes at
Chimacum Middle School in January and February.

Public Health Kelly

County Drug and Alcohol Coordinator Ford
No Report
Mental Health Sam
Sam reported that MH is working on surviving the effects of a crisis situation at Western
State Hospital. There was recently a homicide and staff injury at Western State and they
have initiated a 30 day closure on any new admits. This has created a back log in the
community of individuals that need hospitalization and can’t get it, thus JMH has had to
“beef up” its resources for Jefferson County residents that are in crisis. Sam has alerted
the local hospital, the Port Townsend Police Department and Jefferson County Sherriff’s
Department of the situation.
Sam also reported on his concerns over the contract with JC Public Health for the 1/10 of
1% funding. There are ongoing struggles over accounting requirements the County has
for the billing to be accepted, approved and paid. Sam stated JMH has not received a
payment for 3 months due to issues with the requirements of the Public Health
Department. Sam is scheduled to meet with the financial people from Public Health to try
to resolve this issue tomorrow. “This contract could be in jeopardy if these issues are not
resolved.” Sam stated he will need to determine if JMH will be responding to the Request
for Proposal for next year’s contract.
