He served in the Army from 1952 to 1954. He was a corporal at the time of his discharge. He mar- ried Patricia (Burke) Putvin on March 2, 1957 in Shelton. Mr. Putvin worked for Simpson Timber Company for 45 years. Surviving are wife Patricia Put- vin of Shelton; daughter Carla (Putvin) Derie, son-in-law Mike Derie and grandchildren Trevor and Sarah Derie, all of Anacortes; six brothers and sisters and sev- eral nieces and nephews.

Big project on Hood Canal: Public process starts this month on Brinnon resort (Continued from page 8.) Northwest Watershed Institute, echoed her concerns. "The cumulative impacts of this kind of development in terms of stormwater runoff can not be ad- equately mitigated," Bahls said. "I'm concerned this will add to the already serious problems in Hood Canal with water quality and low oxygen," Bahls said. Of the property involved, the county estimates 17 percent would be impervious surface, 48 percent would be pervious surface, and 35 percent would be undeveloped. Brinnon voice While environmentalists are concerned about the cumulative effect such a large project would have, community activist George Sickel, who has owned property in Brinnon since the 1960s and decided while in college he would retire there, says he's seen the area evolve. He believes change is in order and those environmental issues people are raising can all be mitigated. Sickel says he hopes people come to meetings with open minds. He says he thinks the de- veloper has done an outstanding job of addressing environmental issues. As for the community changing, his response is simple: "You mean with druggies and unemployment and abandoned cars along the road and properties not being utilized? I think it will really clean up our community. Yes, the community will change, but it will be a posi- tive one in my opinion." In addition to tax revenue sup- porting the schools, the primar- ily all-volunteer fire department, which now has a staff of only two, could perhaps afford to hire a paramedic, he says. In previous meetings, local residents and some fire district officials have wondered how the small, volunteer district would handle the potential increase in aid calls related to a resort. The district also does not have a lad- der truck capable of responding to multi-story buildings. The type of jobs a resort would create would help the youths of South Jefferson County, Sickel said, including summer employment. "I think it's fantastic. I think it will put Brinnon on the map. I be- lieve it will provide a host of need- ed jobs for our community," Sickel concluded.
