his November the country will hold its breath — and for many, their nose — on November 8 as national election returns roll in. Locally we’ll look for legislative seats to settle out, a county commissioner’s position and a key vote on financing a passengeronly ferry service, to name a few of the highlights. But a week earlier there’s another announcement I’d prime you to watch for. There’s no debate series, no super PAC funding campaigns, no rallies in airport hangers. What kind of candidacy could this be? It’s our annual 20 Under 40 event, held at downtown Bremerton’s Admiral Theatre, where once again we’ll honor a selection of young business leaders in Kitsap County. As I write this, in fact, a small group of judges that include past winners are preparing to suss out who’ll be selected. It’s another strong class, I’ve been promised, and talent is always left on the table when the list is winnowed to 20. (And those runners up are nearly always prompted as nominees the following year.) A fun thing to do in preparation for the announcement is visit www.kpbj.com/ about-us/20under40 and catch up on the classes of year’s past. There are 11 years of archives there to look through, and seeing names that have continued to succeed in the community is encouraging. I’d like to think the honor helps inspire the awardwinners to continue their progress, but I know the motivation is far more intrinsic than any award could hope to be. I like to keep my eye out for names that later grace this publication, as we highlight business leaders and entrepreneurs. It’s not surprising to see 20 Under 40 alumni mentioned or honored in other ways as careers build. Our awards are announced every November, so it’s coincidental that our event comes just a week before the election. I’m generally in the camp that politics are important, but not life-altering, so I don’t join the crowds either celebrating a victory or mourning a defeat. (Not to mention I’m a journalist without a rooting interest.) The hang-wringing I hear from all sides of the political spectrum is disheartening for a country so great, so I’m glad the optimism of these awards can take top billing as November gets started. Whatever happens come Nov. 8, we can look forward to Nov. 2. David Nelson is editorial director of the Kitsap Peninsula Business Journal. Contact him at david.nelson@ kitsapsun.com.

Innovation that can bring back activity
SILVERDALE PROSTHETIST’S DEVICE HELPS ELIMINATE LIMPS AND RESTORE MOTION By Seraine Page Special to KPJB
SilverdaleresidentDaniel Goodnough understands what it is like to walk in someone else’s shoes. In fact, the Certified Licensed Prosthetist and Orthotist (CLPO) has run full speedaheadwithalegbrace in the name of experiment-
ing for his patients at Master’s Orthotics & Prosthetics, LLC. Over the last few years, he’s tweaked his prototype — known as the MDU or Master’sDynamicUnloader — that’s assisted patients in successfully living an active life again. With his skills, he created a brace meant for those on the move who
have otherwise broken customized braces. “It’sbeennicetobeableto relate to them,” said Goodnough of personally testing his leg brace design. “I’ve been running in it as fast as I can with no problems.” Goodnough, 37, with his athletic build, took to his neighborhood streets to run withthebracehecreated.He
doesn’t have any physical issues that warrant the brace, but he knew he needed to simulate what his patients would feel, he said. The device is made for those with an injury or chroniclegorfootcondition that can often cause a limp; surgery usually isn’t an option.Patientsconsideringthe device are ones where even
normal ground reaction forcesthroughthejointscan cause pain, which the MDU creator seeks to eliminate. One of Goodnough’s biggest goals in creating the device was to “restore functiontotheseindividualswho have had pain or disability for so long.” To finally have success withit,hesaid,is“fulfilling.”
The MDU base is an orthotic inserted into the shoe with a spring that comes up behind the leg into a brace that surrounds a portion of the leg with a ratchet strap just beneath the knee. Most users find they have to go up a shoe size to accommodate the brace. The patients he created the device for — before

theirillnessorinjury—were runners,hikers,hunters and more; not sedentary people who like to watch life pass them by, Goodnough said. “Whenyouhavesomeone who is 30 who wants to run and play football with his kids, and can’t, that’s heartbreaking,”hesaid.“Iwanted to make something to accommodate their needs.” Manyofhispatients’bracescreatedbyotherorthotists were breaking, leaving patientsfrustratedandwearing older-style braces that were limiting, Goodnough said. “A lot of the stuff out there is old school,” said Goodnough, referencing the ForrestGump-stylelegbraces.“I wantsomethingthatisgoing tofitsomeone’sneeds.Thisis the Hot Rod brace, in a way.” Patrick Hallett, 62, was one of the first patients to try the device out during its trial period. For him, it has been what he calls a “game changer.” As a diabetic, Hallett suffered from a heel blister about four years ago. The blister spread, causing serious infection, and then worked its way into his heel bone. He landed in the ER due to the infection. “The doctor grabbed my ankle and said, ‘tomorrow morning, this is where your foot is coming off,” recalled Hallett, a semiretired construction worker. “So that’s the way I went to bed that night. It was a pretty sobering night.” When he awoke from surgery the next day, Hallett still had his foot. The doctors performed an exploratory surgery and were able to shave off an inch of heel bone and reattach his Achilles tendon. Eventually, thetendonretracted into his leg,andsubsequentlyhehad sixmoresurgeriestotryand correct it. Asaresult,hisfootsimply “flopped” when he tried to walk without a true Achilles tendon. Doctor after doctor and orthotist after orthotist tried to fit him in a brace that would allow the constructionworkertowalk normally. Nine braces later, he still
hadn’t found a perfect fit. “I don’t run. I don’t climb up hills. I just walk. When I say walk, I don’t go on long walks. I walk around the house,” he said. “All of these braces just kept breaking.” When Hallett met Goodnough, who proposed the MDU as an option. “Without that brace, I wouldn’t be able to do what I donow,” he saidofwalking stairs and climbing ladders. “When I am not wearing a brace, you know something is wrong with me; when I’m wearingthatbrace,I’mwalking perfect ... it’s completely mind-blowinghowgoodthis thing works.” Even though he is recovering from an early July surgery, Hallett is eager for hunting season to start — a hobby he has missed for the lastfouryearswithoutasupportive brace and surgery recovery time. Now, with the MDU, he’s “extremely excited” to get back into the woods. “Withoutthatbrace,I’ma couch potato,” he said. Because of clients like Hallett, Goodnough continues to plow forward in improving the MDU for comfortandpracticalusefor those with severe walking limitations. Affordability is another reason Goodnough forgedaheadwiththedevice. Heknewofothercompanies making similar braces, but not for everyday folks. In the early stages, GoodnoughlearnedtheArmyhad patented a brace for active people who couldn’t work withatraditionalbrace.The cost?Around$15,000,something Goodnough knew mostofhispatientswouldbe payingout-of-pocketforifhe sent them in that direction. That’swhentheSilverdale CLPOstartedbrainstorming a few years ago for ways to create a lower leg brace that would be reasonable. “My goal was to do something that is reachable for both the insurance company and patient,” he said. “Hopefullythisispartofthe next generation for orthotic devices, and hopefully the availability will broaden for other people.”
Evenwitheachofhisbracesbeinghandmade,theestimated cost of Goodnough’s MDUwillbeinamuch-lower cost scale: he estimates a finalpurchasepricebetween $2,500to$3,500.Heforesees insurance companies working with Master’s to have it mostly covered for patients, if not fully.
“Hopefully it will gain traction with multiple physicians and clinics,” he added, remarking that he currently receives referrals from orthopedicsurgeonsandother physicians in Silverdale. While the new brace has been popular among several of his patients, Goodnough said it isn’t for everyone.
Thereisaconsultationmeeting, casting appointments, fittings and follow-up procedures, and it takes time on bothhisandthepatient’spart to ensure the proper fit. “It’salotofbrace,”hesaid. “It’s an investment of time for everybody.” For Hallett, it has been worth every ounce of in-
vested patience and trialand-error as a demo patient. “You just get used to it. I lovethatthing,”hesaidofthe MDU. “If I had to pay for it (in full), it would have been worth every penny.” For more information, visit MastersOandP.com or call 360-307-7005 to learn about the brace.

Data tools that could protect police
BAINBRIDGE ATTORNEY’S IDEA HELPING CHIEFS UNDERSTAND TACTICS AND FORCE By Seraine Page Special to KPBJ
For anyone who watches the news on a regular basis, it may seem that officerinvolved shooting incidents are going up. Upon closer analysis, however,onelocalbusinessman says it isn’t so. “Thegreatestmediaattention goes to officer-related shootings,â€? said former King County Deputy Prosecutor Bob Scales, who founded Sanford,Olson&Scales,LLC on Bainbridge Island. “Those incidents are extremely rare. What’s more common is the daily use of force,â€?hesaid.“Anofficercan gotheirentirecareerwithout discharging their weapon.â€? Most instances are unable to be tracked by departments, though, Scales said. Based on his experience in working with the Seattle Police Department, Scales developed a system to analyze use of force data thoroughly in a way that would ultimately improve policies in the future. In early 2015, helaunchedthePoliceForce AnalysisSystem,alsoknown as P-FAS. Seattle University works in partnership with the ďŹ rm to code all reports for the system. Working with local police departments, including BainbridgeIslandPoliceandPoulsbo Police, feedback provided helped tweak the system during the prototype stage. The system uses individual police departmentreportstocompile datatoshowhowtoimprovein numerousareas,includinguse of force incidents. Force is definedbyuseofaTaser,canine, baton,etc. P-FAS costs between a few thousand dollars up to $60,000 plus updates, de-

pending on the size of the police department. With those reports, Scales and his partners’ goal is getting police departments details needed to have a realnumbers discussion when it comes to specific calls that may raise red flags. A police chief should know exactly how many were injured on thejobinagivenyear,oreven how many officers used caninesduringacall,Scalessaid. Information analyzed includes a variety of departmentdata,includingincident location, mental status of a suspect, injuries due to use of force, what body part is most injured and more. Department superiors can also view how different types of suspects are treated to see if racial proďŹ ling is an issue. The comprehensive software proves that cases of force are warranted or not based on a number of variables. After review, department heads can then decide on whether changes in policy or extra training are required based on the hard evidence. “It’s used like an early intervention system to look at things that have already occurred and identify trends that need to be addressed,â€? Scales explained. Officers don’t have to
change a single thing about their reporting process for P-FAS to analyze the information. There’s no complicated IT system, and there’s no downloading programs inside the department. It all goesintoacloud,Scalessaid. Anumberof“dashboardsâ€? arethencreatedtoshowuseful information in graphs and charts based on officer reports. Information can be sorted by a chief or captain looking at department statistics to present for a public meeting,forexample.P-FAS reports can go back as far as ďŹ ve years, giving a complete picture of the department’s strengths and weaknesses. ForRudyEscalante,police chief in Capitola, California, the software has been exactly what the 32-year law enforcement veteran has been looking for over the years. With a retirement date set for the last week in September, he’s grateful he has been able to implement P-FAS before leaving. “It’s not a difficult system for people to comprehend; it’s very user-friendly,â€? Escalante said. His department chose to go with Sanford, Olson & Scales, LLC after an audit from a grand jury. The report turned out ďŹ ne, but Escalante still wanted to have an outside auditor to check in on a regular basis. “There’sterriďŹ cvalueinit. Just from theaspect ofbeing able to evaluate your level of service. It allows us to identify an issue that’s coming up sooner before it becomes something bigger,â€? he said. It also reinforces that his officers are doing their jobs correctly when the use of forceisusedproperly,hesaid. Since getting the system, Escalante can see the aver-
ages for use-of-force within his department with ease. The department chose to have an analysis of the last ďŹ ve years, of which there have been 32 incidents involving use of force with 56 force events during these incidents involving 15 different officers. During that examination period, of the 32 uses of force incidents, the department took 88,171 calls for service and made a total of 4,801 arrests. Upon presenting those numbers to his city council afewweeksago,hereceived a standing ovation for being able to present such details. “Having someone with technical experience with the job — but outside of the organization — helps because they understand the mentality and they understand the training that leads up to these events,â€? he said of Sanford, Olson & Scales, LLC. “My experience has beenextremelypositiveand very beneďŹ cial. I think this type of technology is great.â€? Another P-FAS tool allows department heads to compare their instances to other similar-sized departments. Witha total of 18,000 police departments in the United States, Scales said he knows many operate in isolation and don’t often get tocollaborateonpolicies.He hopesthatparticularfeature of the program gets departments talking so they won’t waste manpower and hours reinventing policies. Within a few years, Sanford, Olson & Scales, LLC staff seeks to have a countywide and regional data system stocked with the information provided by local departments. Above all, Scales said he hopesthatP-FASwillreduce theamountofpayoutsbypolice departments across the nation — including the 25 he currently works with — for lawsuits brought on by excessive use of force cases. Across the nation, he estimates that billions are spent each year by departments pushed into lawsuits about use of force tactics. “The stakes are extremely high when officers make
mistakes,� he said. While Scales notes that use of force is “an essential and important part of their job,�healsobelievesthatbecause such data hasn’t been available, there’s no such thing as a best practice. For some departments, a Taser might be a better force use than bringing out a K-9. “Nobody knows what an effective de-escalation program would look like,� he said. “When agencies do analyzeuseofforce,theyare lookingatanindividualcase. Most can’t look at all of use of force (cases) collectively.�
While the FBI does collect some data from police agenciesonsuspectdeathswhilein policecustody,notalljurisdictionssubmitthatinformation, leavinganincompletepicture when it comes to officers usingforce. That’swhereScalesandhis staffhopetofillintheblanks. “We are very excited about it. There’s nobody out there that’s doing this. Use of force is such a controversial issue now and nothing seems to be changing,� he said.“Themoredatawehave inthesystem,themorevaluable it is (for everyone).�

A helpful culture for home cooks CAP CREATED BY GARDENERS MAY AID FOOD PRESERVATION By Tad Sooter tad.sooter@kitsapsun.com 360-475-3783
SEABECK — A Mason jar is just a Mason jar until you screw on a device invented by two West Sound gardeners. The Culture Cap, designed by Jacob Mitchell, of Brinnon, and Josh Werle, of Seabeck, turns glass jars into tiny fermentation systems for preserving vegetables and fruit. A disk on the bottom of the plastic cap keeps produce firmly pressed in a bath of salty water. A gasket ensures a tight seal around the rim of the jar. A hole in the top
allows an air lock to be attached — important for preventing contamination. Mitchell and Werle hope their patent-pending lid will simplify the fermentation process for home cooks and encourage more people to try fermented food. “We’re just trying to get people back to eating better, back to the roots and staying local,” Werle said. The duo launched a campaign on Kickstarter. com in September with the goal of raising $45,000 to support their startup. The money will pay for the expensive injection molds needed to begin mass
production of the Culture Cap and development of a website. Mitchell and Werle plan to have the lids manufactured out of food-grade plastic at a factory in Southwest Washington. They’ll market the lids under their Cultured Root brand at stores, farmers markets and online. The lids will cost about $13 each. With fermentation catching on as a health food and gastronomical trend, Mitchell has no doubt there will be demand for the Culture Cap. “I’m positive, we just need to get it out to the people,” he said. “Every-
one we show these to who’s into fermenting says, ‘I want one, where can I get one?’” Mitchell and Werle designed the Culture Cap after becoming frustrated by the lack of equipment available for small-scale fermenting. The two friends’ shared interest in gardening led them to begin dabbling with fermentation, a process that preserves fresh produce while culturing live bacteria, called probiotics, that can aid digestion when ingested with food. (Probiotics are widely marketed as dietary supplements, though researchers are ex-
ploring the effectiveness of various products, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health.) The basic process for making fermented food is simple, Mitchell said. With sauerkraut, for example, shredded cabbage is mashed into a container with layers of salt. The container is topped off with water and a weight is pressed down on the mixture to keep the cabbage submerged in the brine. A lid is applied with an airlock that allows gas to escape without letting in oxygen. The kraut is kept at room temperature while the bacteria does its work and is ready to eat or store after a month or so. Mitchell and Werle liked the simplicity, potential health benefits and flavor of fermented foods but found most of the gear available was designed for making Crock-Pot-sized batches. Not wanting to store gallons of sauerkraut or homemade ketchup in their refrigerators, they
turned to the Mason jar as a more manageable fermenting container. Fermenting in jars came with drawbacks, however. Mitchell and Werle had to find stone or glass weights to keep their produce squeezed in the brine. And fitting a lid with an airlock to the jars took customization. Eventually they decided to invent an allin-one lid. “It was almost a necessity,” Werle said of creating the Culture Cap. Mitchell and Werle consulted with experts at the Food and Drug Administration while developing the lid and had prototypes produced on a 3D printer for testing. Mitchell said the finished Culture Cap will be made from durable, dishwasher-safe plastic. “We wanted to give people something they could use for five or 10 years,” he said. The Kickstarter campaign continues through Oct. 13. For information, go to www.theculturedroot.com.

The Obama administration entered office with the goal of refocusing American attention from the Middle East to the PaciďŹ c and East Asia, where more than $1.2 trillion in U.S. trade transits through each year.

Shipyard employees honored for innovation
KPBJ staff report
Six employees whose proposals improved performance or saved money at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility received quarterly awards for their efforts. The ceremony recognizing the fourth-quarter winners of the Improvements Developed by Employee Actions, or IDEA, awards took place Sept. 21. Capt. Daniel Ettlich, the PSNS & IMF operations officer, presided over the ceremony and presented awards to employees whose suggestions were
submitted and adopted through the IDEA program. The program recognizes military and civilian personnel who make a â&#x20AC;&#x153;constructive proposal that directly contributes to economy, or efficiency, or directly increases effectiveness of government operations.â&#x20AC;? As an example of the innovations being recognized, PSNS & IMFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jessica Ouellet and Charles Alford, sheet metal mechanic leaders in Shop 17, designed a tool to help mechanics, engineers and others produce hasty sketches at job sites. The
tool includes a variety of technical drawing aids, such as a straight edge, radius corners, angles, a lettering guide and circle templates. PSNS & IMF ofďŹ cials estimate each tool can save 30 minutes daily for those workers who have to produce sketches while producing higher quality drawings. Other winners were: Richard Lasley, electrician apprentice for Code 900; Hugh Marsland, electriansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; supervisor in Shop 51; Joseph Walser, electrician in Shop 51; and Jesse Faber, electrician leader in Shop 51.

Impact BioEnergy’s self-contained biodigester called HORSE is lifted by crane into place at the Harbour Public House.
Harbour Public House to ride HORSE’s energy DEVICE WILL TURN WASTE TO ELECTRICITY By Nathan Pilling nathan.pilling@kitsapsun.com 360-792-5242
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND — Like many digestive sys-
tems that find themselves at the Harbour Public House in Winslow, one that made its way there Tuesday was about ready to eat. This particular stomach will shamelessly eat up to 135 pounds of the restaurant’s food each day for the next six months, possibly longer. It will live in a shipping container day and night next to the restaurant’s parking lot, and its output will partially be gaseous. That stomach is a HORSE — an abbreviated name for high solids organic waste recycling system with electrical output — an anaerobic digester devel-
oped by Impact Bioenergy, a Seattle-based firm. At a high level, the digesters the company champions are simple: input organic waste, output fertilizer and methane gas, which can be turned into electricity. Once the HORSE, which was delivered Tuesday to its island home via a trailer and crane, is up and running in about two weeks, it will begin to eat the restaurant’s organic waste, Harbour Public House owner Jeff Waite said. The unit outside the restaurant is among Impact Bioenergy’s first HORSE units and will run for the next six months as a pilot demonstration in a partnership among the restaurant, Puget Sound Energy and Impact Bioenergy. For Waite, the project might mean having fewer
dumpsters at the restaurant, which are now emptied twice a week. PSE hopes the renewable energy project will facilitate discussions about a larger permanent digester in the community, according to PSE spokeswoman Karen Brubeck. Impact Bioenergy will lease out the $80,000 unit during the demonstration, while the restaurant pays for the operating costs and PSE sponsors the rental expenses during the initial trial, Impact Bioenergy president Jan Allen said. According to Allen, the digester has a receiving system that chops up and purées food waste “into a smoothie” that is fed into a bioreactor, where microbes digest the food into the two end products. The system, which could con-

sume about 1,000 pounds of food waste in a week, outputs about 90 percent fertilizer and 10 percent gas, Allen said. The gas can either be burned by a generator to make electricity or used to boil water, but the Bainbridge restaurant will use the HORSE for electricity, Allen said. The fertilizer will be used near the
restaurant and also could end up going to an island farmer, Waite said. Whether the HORSE will become a permanent fixture at the restaurant remains to be seen, according to Waite. For now, the unit will run as a demonstration, he said, as a way for “everybody to kick the tires in the community and see what it re-
ally means.” “Bainbridge as a community imports a lot of nutrients onto the island,” he said. “We take some out of it, and the rest, it’s put into the waste stream, truck on, truck off. Those nutrients are beneficial. If we can capture some of them and reuse them here … it’s a way to capture those nutrients.”

WEST SOUND’S BEST KNOWN BREWERY IS NOW A STATEWIDE NAME By Tad Sooter tad.sooter@kitsapsun.com 360-475-3783
SILVERDALE — Twenty
years ago, two brothers opened a humble brewpub in Silverdale. Their plan was simple: serve good-tasting beer to the people of Kitsap at a time when there was no other craft brewery in the area. “We were thinking within our four walls,” recalled Scott Houmes, who founded Silver City Brew-
ery with brother Steve in 1996, joined by former Thomas Kemper brewer Don Spencer. “There were no aspirations to take over the world.” Silver City didn’t conquer the world in the two decades that followed, but the brewery has built a statewide presence, while maintaining a loyal following on the peninsula. Scott credits the brewery’s longevity to quality beer and a measured approach to growth. “You can make great
beer, but you also have to have great systems, great people and great relationshipsalongtheway,”hesaid. Silver City’s brewery and restaurant were attached at the hip for the first 14 years, sharingaspaceinSilverdale. The brewpub model was popular — almost to a fault. “Our footprint was only so big in Silverdale,” Scott said. “We had guests waiting in line longer than we wanted.” So in 2010 the brothers moved the brewing operation to Bremerton, while
keeping the restaurant in place, giving each side of the business more breathing room. “Bothfacilitieshaveflourished ever since,” Scott said. Silver City Restaurant & Ale House weathered the arrival of a parade of chain eateries in Silverdale while remaining dependably busy. Steve Houmes, who oversees the restaurant, said the attention devoted to developing staff helps the Myhre Road establishment stand out amid cor-

porate giants. “We’ve recruited and maintained the best talent in the area, and I think the public recognizes that,” he said. In Bremerton, the brewery had space to develop new beer varieties and increase distribution. Silver City extended its
reach along the Interstate 5 corridor and tapped into markets on the east side of the Cascades for the first time this spring, following an expansion of its brewing system. Last year Silver City ranked 10th in production among Washington breweries, rolling out more than 10,700 barrels of beer (about 332,000 gallons). Scott said the brewery has approached growth with caution, making sure there’s strong demand for its beer in each area it moves into. The goal is to guarantee the brew is fresh when it’s poured at a bar or carted home in a grocery bag. That philosophy, as much as anything, will determine how much of the world Silver City conquers. “I think we’re going as far as the beer is going to take us,” Scott said.

POULSBO — Poulsbo’s new nautical-themed waterfrontpubisthebrainchild of three business partners from America’s heartland. Co-owners James Concon, John Mackowski and Frank Zoboroski, of West Allis, Wisconsin, opened The Brass Kraken Pub in the spring in a building built over a pier overlooking the marina. The trio already ran a Milwaukee-area tavern called Brass Monkey. Concon said the space on Liberty Bay inspired them to take a gamble on a maritime spinoff. “Poulsbo is a great community, and this is an incredible waterfront location,” said Concon, who has split his time between Wisconsin and the Seattle area for the past few years. An incredible location in need of some upgrades. Brass Kraken moved into a space long home to the Portside Pub, a shabby but popular bar with a devoted cast of regulars. (Longtime patrons were immortalized in a lifelike wall mural behind the pool table.) TheBrassKrakenowners started with a nearly blank slate. They took over an adjoining boat rental office and knocked down interior walls to create a spacious dining room with broad water views. The Portside’s notorious green carpet was torn out and replaced with fresh flooring (a combination of carpet and wood). New tables and chairs were added to provide seating for well over 100 diners. Anyone familiar with the Portsidewillneedafewmoments to orient themselves after walking through the doors of the Brass Kraken. “It was pretty much a full remodel,” Concon said. The partners chose a
pleased with the result. Longtime Poulsbo resident Paul Tweiten said he was happy to have a bar downtown that stays busy past

Chef Bartholomew Marquardt and general manager Sonia Canak both relocated from Wisconsin to helm the new venture. The restaurant, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, serves “upscale pub food,” a combination of Wisconsin and Washington fare. Cheese curds and handrolled mozzarella sticks share menu space with seafood staples and a grilled octopus special.
“We tried to bring some of our Wisconsin flavors and mingle them with the Northwest,” Concon said. The bar showcases regional craft beers and hosts regular takeovers by local breweries. A deck space allows patrons to sip their drinks over the water. For entertainment, there are TVs, pool tables and dart boards, and the pub stages live music several nights a week, with a trivia game recently added Sundays. Concon said he and his partners wanted to create a neighborhood gathering place that would be welcoming to both locals and the tourist crowd. “I think the community

InafarewellpostonFacebook, the Rowdens thanked patrons for their support over 17 years, adding that “it’s been one hell of a ride.” Hunt Ledbetter said she hopes to broaden the appeal of the restaurant, but her Scratch Kitchen won’t start entirely from scratch.

Scratch Kitchen,asthenamesuggests,will emphasizelocally-sourcedproduce anddishesmadefromwholeingredients, complemented by a selectionoflocalbeers(andkombucha.) Hunt Ledbetter said she is a little nervous making changes to a restaurant that already has a strong following, but she believes Suquamish will embrace a fresh concept. “I feel like in smaller communities, like the one we live in, people love something new,” she said. “… I’m only going to expand on what Bob had, and keep it going.” Work on a light remodel will began last week. Hunt Ledbetter said the makeover will include new floors,newpaintinsideandout,and a revamp of the back room used for trivia nights and live music. The restaurant should remain open throughout the project. Scratch Kitchen is tentatively scheduled to debut Sept. 12.
Downtown retailer expands to mall Bremerton-basedPurposeBoutique opened a store at The Trails atSilverdaleSept.19,becomingthe first Kitsap-based business to join the Greaves Way shopping center. “We could not be more excited for our launch in Silverdale which will create new opportunities for our customers who want to shop and at the same time, change lives around the world,” Purpose CEO Christie Johnson said in a news release.
“We are dedicated to being a business that gives back to the global community and we feel very welcomed at the Trails.” Purpose, which sells apparel and accessories for “women of all shapes, styles and backgrounds,” first opened in Bremerton in 2013 andaddedaKirklandstorein2014. The boutique donates a portion of its sales to charities that combat human trafficking. Store hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Kitsap Fresh food co-op adds Kingston location Kitsap Fresh is adding a Kingston location, just in time for the fall harvest. The local food co-op, which allows members to order online from local farms and pick up produce from a central distribution hub, celebrated the launch of a new pickup site Sept. 28 with an event at Downpour Brewing that featuredlivemusicandspecialson beer growlers. Kingston is the third location for Kitsap Fresh, which has pickup spots in Poulsbo and Bremerton. More are planned. Downpour is located at 10991 Highway 104, next to The Cup & Muffin. Salad-to-go business expands to Silverdale Barelysevenmonthsafteropening in Poulsbo, owners of a saladto-go shop are planning a second location in Silverdale. Greens On Your Way founder Jenn Fredericksen signed a lease Friday on the 9517 Silverdale Way spacerecentlyvacatedbyGenuine Burgers. Fredericksen plans to sell her grab-and-go gourmet salads

at the shop, along with wraps, pita sandwiches, soups, smoothies and espresso. The new location could open in late October. “Hopefully Silverdale will be a goodspotforus,”Fredericksensaid. Fredericksen, who also owns latte stands in North Kitsap, opened the first Greens On Your Way in February on Poulsbo’s Viking Avenue. The business applies the coffee-stand model to freshmade salads, allowing drivers to grab packaged greens on the go. The shop encourages customers to pre-order their salads online, further streamlining sales. Fredericksen said the concept caught on in Poulsbo, despite the shopbeinglocatedontheoutskirts of town. “The feedback has been great,” she said. The Silverdale Way space doesn’t have a drive-thru, but Fredericksen said two parking stalls will be designated as driveup spaces, where customers can have salads delivered to their car window. You can check the Greens On Your Way Facebook page for updates on the new shop. LARRY STEAGALL / KITSAP SUN
Genuine Burgers experiment ends Silverdale’s Genuine Burgers was a bold culinary experiment. Therestaurantservedtraditional fast-food fare with a slow-food philosophy, making nearly everything on its menu — the burgers, buns, milkshakes, fries, even ketchup — from scratch each day. The staff ground grass-fed beef each morning for the fresh burger patties, which were cooked a full 15 minutes on lower heat to avoid drying out the meat. “Wedothingsalittlebitdifferently here,”ownerStephenFoster-Shaner told the Kitsap Sun’s Terri Gleich in aninterviewearlierthisyear. The restaurant brought a slowfoodphilosophytotraditionalfastfood fare, making its burgers, fries and shakes from scratch each day. Foster-Shaner cited a multitude of reasons for shuttering the restaurant,includingaslowdowninbusiness, in a lengthy farewell post on Facebook. Storage facility planned in Poulsbo A self-storage company is moving ahead with plans for a four-story facility near Safeway in Poulsbo.
Purpose owner Christie Johnson, shown here in the boutique’s Bremerton location, will open a store at The Trails in Silverdale.
Site plan and critical area permit applications were filed for a 90,000-square-foot facility to be constructed on 2.55 acres at the southwest corner of Lincoln Road and 10th Avenue, according to a notice published this month by the city. The hillside site is situated just east of Highway 305 and south of Safeway. Twofloorsofthebuildingwould beabovegroundontheeast(uphill side of the property), with two stories below ground. All four stories would be above groundonthewest(downhill)side. Customers would access the facility from Lincoln Road and 10th Avenue. A 100-foot buffer would protect the south fork of Dogfish Creek on thesouthwestcorneroftheproperty. The applicant is Urban Self Storage of Seattle, which also operates facilities near Keyport and on Bainbridge Island. A subsidiary of Urban Self Storage bought the Poulsbo property from Union Bank in 2014 for $545,000, according to county documents.

Rich Hankins, of Belfair, heads home after golfing Monday at Gold Mountain Golf Course. After several years of troubling debt, the Bremerton-owned golf club is having a better year.

once-troubling debt load By Josh Farley

BREMERTON — The city’s golf course appears to
be on an upswing. Saddled for years with millions in debt from an ambitious 18-hole expansion and the construction of a new clubhouse, Gold
Mountain Golf Club had nearly exhausted its financial reserves. But recent changes at the complex and an uptick in the appetite for golf has put the course back
in the black. Columbia Hospitality, the company managing the taxpayer-owned courses off West Belfair Valley Road, was so confident about the complex that it promised to pay its $413,000 in debt service this year if it failed to break even or better. Daryl
Matheny, Gold Mountain’s general manager, believes that confidence will continue. “We really feel that moving forward, even on a down year, we’ll still be able to cover the debt,” he said. Matheny said Columbia has made several adjustments since taking on the course, its first golf venture, in 2013. It revamped the restaurant. Recently, it added a Wedding in the Woods venue to attract new cli-

ents. And most important, he said, it has created new pricing schemes that cater to golfers seeking a “worldclass” experience and locals looking for a cheaper round of 18. “We feel we’re hitting all the niches,” Matheny said. The club must do so to cover its burdensome debt payments, which run north of $400,000 per year through 2028. Much of that debt, totaling about $4.6 million today, was from the installation of the Olympic course in 1996 and the clubhouse construction in 2008. The course lost $112,474 and $32,616 in 2012 and 2013, respectively. In 2014, it was in the red by $204,230, but much of that loss was due to the purchase of pro shop inventory, according to city financial records. In 2015, the course ended the year $33,758 in the black, with a total of $2.78 million in revenues from golf and restaurant sales. Columbia Hospitality says the course is in for its best year financially. The city’s gain also is Columbia’s — the company earns a 5 percent stake in gross revenues and more if net operating income clears $600,000. The city negotiated a oneyear lease with Columbia for 2015. Mayor Patty Lent, cognizant that Columbia had gone from managing only Gold Mountain to a handful ofcourses,wantedto besure the company was devoted to increasing Gold Mountain’s
profitability. “We wanted to see if we still had the gold-star treatment,” she said. Columbia said that managing additional courses — it recently took on North Shore Golf Course in Tacoma as its sixth — has not diluted its attention to them but rather made it possible to achieve greater economiesof-scale. Shawn Cucciardi, Columbia’s director of golf, said that means employees can be “cross-trained” to perform specialized tasks at multiple courses. He added that the company has created new draws for the club, such as the new wedding venue, that will help pad the bottom line. “Gold Mountain already had a great reputation, and we’ve added value to the location,” he said. Lent said Columbia Hospitality CEO John Oppenheimer brought Bremerton the offer of guaranteeing the debt service payment last year. That confidence was what Lent needed to hear to ensure the course would not become a drag on city resources. Had the course’s reserves run out, the city would have to use its general taxpayer fund to cover it. Lent said as long as the positive financial outlook for the course continues, the city will entertain the possibility of leasing management of the course to Columbia for multiple years. Negotiations between the city and the company are
due this fall for 2017 and beyond. “We feel like we have a high level of trust with city staff, the mayor and the City
Council,” Cucciardi said. “We’re looking forward to the contract renewal process.”
Port Orchard reviews plans ■ Titus Ford will
renovate dealership By Chris Henry
chenry@kitsapsun.com 360-792-9219
PORT ORCHARD — Plans for renovation of the Bruce Titus Port Orchard Ford dealership were reviewed Tuesday before the city’s hearing examiner. Titus has been coordinating with Port Orchard on an easement for the Bay Street Pedestrian Pathway, which the city will build on Titus’ property along the shoreline behind the dealership. Titus is requesting land use and shoreline permits to redevelop the parcel on which the dealership now sits and the adjacent parcel, the current location of St. Vincent de Paul, which Titus purchased in 2015. St. Vincent’s is building a new store and is scheduled to move this winter. Titus will demolish all buildings on both parcels and replace them with a
new dealership. His company is seeking a conditional-use permit that would allow the new showroom to extend to 32 feet in height. The city’s municipal code allows for buildings up to 27 feet in height, without a conditional-use permit, where the dealership is located. Titus also is seeking a shoreline substantial development permit, required for projects located entirely or partially within the 200foot shoreline area, and a shoreline variance for the buffer between the building and the water. The standard buffer in the city’s downtown shoreline area designated “high intensity” is 75 feet. The new building is to be located 46 feet from the ordinary high-water mark. It will replace the existing building, that is 25 feet from the high-water mark and was constructed before the buffer was established.

Tanya Spoon pauses in the doorway of one of the patient rooms while talking about The Manette Clinic on Friday. After a year in business, Spoon has 700 patients, and a business model that appears to be working.
New model working in primary care PROVIDERS CLAIM MODEL ALLOWS FOR MORE PATIENT TIME By Tad Sooter tad.sooter@kitsapsun.com 360-475-3783
BREMERTON — It’s been a year since Tanya Spoon stepped off the health care treadmill. Tired of the hectic pace at a conventional family practice in Silverdale, the nurse practitioner opened a clinic near her home in Bremerton that operates under a direct primary care model. Spoon’s patients pay
a flat monthly membership to cover their basic care and their insurance isn’t billed. The idea clicked. After 12 months, Spoon has nearly 700 patients and is hiring a second nurse practitioner this month to continue growing the business. She said Manette Clinic broke even after six months. Spoon doesn’t make as much money as she did at her former practice, but she measures her success in the time she’s able to devote to
patients, and her own quality of life. “My life/work balance is amazingly better,” she said. “I get to go home ever day for lunch.” Similar direct primary care practices are gradually catching on across Kitsap. In Poulsbo, family physician Peter Lehmann left The Doctors Clinic at the start of 2016 to open Vintage Direct Primary Care. He signed up nearly 550 members in eight months
and, like Spoon, considering bringing on a second provider. Two other former Doctors Clinic doctors in Poulsbo, Andrea Chymiy and Marie Matty, created Pacifica Medicine and Wellness, which offers both direct primary care memberships and what the duo calls “affordable concierge medicine.” The concierge option allows patients to pay a monthly
fee to ensure easy access to care, while still using insurance to pay for services. Pacifica Medicine had more than 1,000 patients in June. Only a tiny fraction of the county’s providers and patients are involved in direct primary care, but many are eager to extol its benefits. For providers, its an opportunity to spend more time practicing medicine. Spoon cared
for about 4,000 people at the conventional primary care practice in Silverdale, carving out a few minutes for each visit. At Manette Clinic, she guarantees patients at least 30 minutes each time they see her, and she makes frequent house calls and visits to assisted living facilities. Lehmann said he can devote 90 percent of his time to patients, “not on billing, medical coding, compliance with insurance regulations, etc.” Most patients still carry an insurance plan to cover specialty care and emergencies. The direct primary care memberships, which range from about $25 to $100 depending on the practice, give them virtually unlimited access to their primary care provider. Manette Clinic patient Janet Gibson said she spends less on her monthly membership than she typically would on insurance co-pays. The Port Orchard resident said she hasn’t had to take her children to urgent care since signing up for the service, and she appreciates the extra attention Spoon gives her family. “It’s been amazing,” Gibson said. “You have plenty of time for your appointments.” The direct primary care model isn’t a fit for everyone. The monthly membership tends to make the most sense for families that see their doctor frequently. Spoon said she’s had a number of people sign up for memberships and later drop out. Still, buzz around Spoon’s clinic is growing. August was her busiest month to date, with 36 patients signing up, all from word-of-mouth referrals. As for herself, Spoon said she has no interest in returning to a conventional practice. “I’ll do this for as long as I can,” she said. “It’s given me a lot of peace and freedom.”

Congratulations to all our 2016 REX winners! In late September, the KBA Remodelers Council presented the awards of excellence to member remodelers. As always the competition was tough. Ultimately the judges (John Armstrong, Bryan Todd, and Miriam Villiard) selected 10 winning projects. This year’s entries included several unique spaces to include barns, closets and basements. Homeowners are interested in making all their spaces useful and the entries proved that. As usual, the applications included big baths and small, gourmet kitchens, and expanded living spaces. We are so proud of our remodeling professionals. Below is one photo for each winning company. Though some companies won in multiple categories, we have selected only one project in the photos below.

Today, it seems that everyone is busier than ever. With the economy picking up, the demand for new construction, remodeling and home improvements has returned at a surprising rate. I’m finding that I’m referring more business onto other Kitsap Building Association members than I am able to take on. This is far different than a few years ago when we took on just about any piece of business that was in our repertoire. Our industry went from a famine survival mode to a feast survival mode. A few years ago we were all scraping the bucket to see what we would be doing the next week, next month, much less next year. Now we are taking only the projects that best suit our business, and booking out months ahead.
Nov 2- Estimating for Builders & Remodelers – 8am ** Register for this class directly with the KBA. Visit www.kitsapbuilds.com or call the KBA at 360-479-5778 $75 non-members; $50 members. Advanced registration and payment required. We have filled over 200 seats for education in 2016! Are you accessing all the education we have to offer? Are your competitors? Don’t miss out! Register today for the classes listed above.
The courses listed above will be at the KBA office in Bremerton. Please register directly with BIAW at www.biaw.com, or call the KBA office for assistance (360My observation of these two extreme atmospheres, is in each we are all equally 479-5778). Note: The November 1 course on water intrusion is a KBA class and registration is with the KBA directly. busy; busy trying to stay alive due to feast or famine. Finding the balance between our personal world and work world is the ever-shifting light at the end of the tunnel. NAHB MEMBER ADVANTAGE: However, there are people who give of their time in amounts that I cannot understand As a KBA member you are also a member how they manage to do it all. Whether it’s the coach of your child’s sports team, of the National Association of Home volunteering with the Kitsap Building Association, Habitat for Humanity, cleaning up your neighborhood, or any of the countless other organizations that rely on Builders. In addition to advocating for volunteers for their existence, we owe it to our children, families, communities, the industry with our nation’s congress nation and world to give time from our busy lives to contribute to the greater good. members, in the courts, and among Whether it’s volunteering an hour a month, or hours a week, your involvement is a regulatory agencies, NAHB has pulled together incredible buying contribution to the greater good. It is the volunteers of the Kitsap Building Association, and Teresa Osinski and Katie Revis, the only paid employees of the KBA, who everyday are looking out for the construction industry. Over the years, I have seen how much work is done by the KBA employees and volunteers on a daily basis. Whether it be testifying for or against a new law, meeting with the Cities and County Building Departments to make the permitting and inspection process more efficient, or interviewing candidates for elected positions to determine who best represents the construction industry’s needs.
The construction industry isn’t made up of only those of us who build, or work in trades affiliated to construction. It trickles down to you as an individual, a home owner, and other small business owners. When we as an association succeed in building relationships, making improvements with the permitting and inspection process, pushing back on building codes changes and laws that effect the cost to build, or simply bringing members together to network, the community is affected. It may not be a direct effect, but I promise you that without the countless hours of our volunteers, the construction environment and the affect it has on our citizens would be boldly different. I challenge each of you reading this article to volunteer. If you are a member of the KBA we need your involvement on the board, home shows, fundraising events, and growing our membership to name a few. If you aren’t a member, but are in one of the many affected trades; please join! We are stronger together. If you are a citizen reading this, please get involved in your neighborhood and community. The attitude of “it’s not my problem” is the foundation of apathy, which is the opposite of what our children, families, communities, nation and world needs. Let’s start an upward spiral towards the betterment of our families and communities, which will affect our nation and the world. “If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. ... We need not wait to see what others do.” Gandi
power deals for our members! As you make plans to travel this fall or for the upcoming holidays don’t forget to take your discount at Hertz, Budget and Avis! For all the details go to nahb.org/ma! Vote YES on the Fast Ferry! The Board of Directors of the Kitsap Building Association has voted in support of the Fast Ferry proposal. The KBA members build a beautiful Kitsap. Our members live here, work here, and employ families here. Their products become the homes and office buildings that our citizens spend the majority of their time in. Keeping Kitsap beautiful requires infrastructure investments. The Fast Ferry proposal offers a viable alternative to “driving around” to get to the other side of the water. It also makes our community a reliable, healthy alternative to families living on the other side of Puget Sound that would like to live and play here. The Fast Ferry proposal will give the majority of Kitsap’s residents and workers access to transportation options currently only available to those that reside in the most northern portions of the County. Kingston and Bainbridge Island have their fast option to Seattle and other East Puget Sound destinations. With docks in Bremerton and Southworth, the Fast Ferry will reduce the carbon footprint of Kitsap’s residents by allowing for dependable, fast routes to Seattle from multiple points in our County. Invest in Kitsap’s future. Please vote to support the Fast Ferry proposal. Learn more at www.kitsapferries.com.

Remember to VOTE! Your vote matters and our system is depending on it. We function in a representative form of government that relies on the principals of democracy for decision making. Your voice is not represented when you don’t vote. Too often elections are won on narrow margins of low voter turnout. The primary resulted in only 35% of all registered voters casting ballots. Think about how many voting eligible citizens aren’t even registered. When you feel unheard or under-represented by the elected officials at all levels of government, consider how you could impact that for the better by practicing your right to vote. The great thing about voting is that you get to do it every couple of years. No vote is forever. You can live, learn, and vote another day. Please remember to vote in the November election.
Guest Column Elliot Eisenberg, Ph.D GraphsandLaughs, LLC Plentiful Jobs but Weak Growth, Wages and Inflation While the US economy is creating plenty of jobs, it isn’t growing much. In the first half of 2016, gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an anemic annualized rate of just 1%, compared to about 2% since the end of the recession, and 2.5% from 2000 through 2007. Usually, weak economic growth has been associated with weak employment growth. But not now! Employment growth during the first six months of the year totaled slightly over one million jobs, or a healthy average of 175,000 net new jobs/ month. If the historical relationship between GDP and employment that existed before the Great Recession still held, 40% fewer jobs would have been created since January. That said, what does slow growth mean for future wages, why is GDP growth so slow, is it likely to persist, and what does this imply about future interest rates? The prolonged and robust job growth we have been experiencing for the last several years has brought down the unemployment rate from 10% to just 4.9%, low by historic standards. As a result, workers are finally becoming scarce and labor costs are, at long last, rising, although not as fast as before the recession. This is because wage growth results from two forces: labor scarcity and increases in labor productivity. Having already discussed scarcity, let’s focus on productivity growth, or the increase in output per worker per hour. What we see is dismal labor productivity growth. It has actually been declining for the last three quarters in a row, the first time this has ever happened outside of a recession. This goes a long way in explaining why wage growth remains mediocre despite the low unemployment rate. While labor productivity is expected to improve and return to the 2006 – 2015 annual average rate of 1.25%, that is way below the 2.5% annual growth rate between 1949 and 2005. This weak labor productivity growth is most likely the result of an aging population and years of weak corporate investment in plant and equipment. This continued lack of investment has sharply reduced corporate efficiency gains. As a result, to produce more product to meet virtually any increase in demand requires more hiring. Importantly, the conditions that have created this weak investment environment will not dissipate soon. While energy prices appear to have bottomed, it is unlikely that they will soon rise. Thus, exploration and production activity in the oil patch is unlikely to increase much. Similarly, mining firms are holding back on investment while commodity prices are weak, and manufacturers that sell their output overseas will continue to face strong headwinds due to the strong US dollar. In addition, agricultural prices are also expected to remain depressed and auto sales have peaked. Collectively, this means investment in plant and equipment is likely to remain weak, all but insuring GDP growth of at best 2% for the foreseeable future. With labor productivity weak, GDP growth sluggish, and inflation correspondingly low, the Fed has reduced how high it sees the long-term fedfunds rate reaching -- no higher than 3% compared to 4% or more as recently as 2013! As a result, it may well take three or four years for the fed-funds rate to hit just 3%. As for conventional 30-year mortgage rates, they are likely to remain below 4% well into 2018.

Authentic pho arrives in Poulsbo
VIETNAMESE OWNERS FLED WAR, LIVED IN REFUGEE CAMP BEFORE MOVE By Terri Gleich Special to KPBJ
POULSBO — The secret to good pho, according to Trinh Nguyen at Poulsbo’s Pho T&N, is perfectly seasoned broth. And even though the Vietnamese noodle soup is typically served with an enticing array of condiments, Nguyen said the flavorful base should shine all by itself. “Good broth does not need sriracha. It does not need hoisin. It does not need jalapeño, lime or basil.” At T&N, the broth simmers up to 24 hours in a pot that yields 400-500 bowls. Pronounced fuh, the soup is served with rice noodles, a choice of meats or tofu, white onions, green onions, bean sprouts, cilantro, basil, jalapeños and lime. It’s pure comfort food that’s especially soothing for patrons with a cold. “During flu season, we see as many patients as the The Doctors Clinic,” Nguyen joked. As T&N celebrates its 11th anniversary in October, the restaurant is coming off a year of transitions. It nearly doubled in size and staff in 2015, as it switched from a fast food-style eatery to a fullservice restaurant. Nguyen said the change is emblematic of a bigger shift as she and her brother, Joe, take over management of the restaurant from their parents, dad Rang Nguyen and mom Huyen Tran. “Our parents’ generation created the American dream,” said Trinh Nguyen. “It’s up to Joe and
I to retain that American dream.” Trinh was 3 and Joe was 7 when the family fled their homeland after the Vietnam War. They spent seven years in a Thai refugee camp and had to return to Vietnam before finally making it to the United States in 1998. “We were the last of the Vietnamese boat people,” said Trinh Nguyen. “We were fleeing communism. We were fleeing for a better opportunity.” Her mom and dad worked in restaurants in Seattle and Kitsap, including Chung’s Teriyaki, before saving enough money to open their own place in Poulsbo Village. T&N stands for their last names, Nguyen and Tran. The restaurant continues to be a family affair, with mom, dad and Trinh’s husband, Marlon Moquia, cooking recipes that came from the Nguyen family. Joe, who served in the Marines and has a degree in business, runs the financial side, while Trinh, who got her degree in business management and finance online while working at the restaurant, handles operations and marketing. The family also includes younger siblings, Thai, who is going to culinary school in Seattle, and Linda, a senior at Central Kitsap High School. T&N has about 50 dishes on the menu and offers seasonal specials, including luscious oxtail pho during the winter. Nguyen said the restaurant focuses on providing consistently high-quality dishes and serves only authentic Vietnamese food.
“The only thing we Americanize are the portions,” Nguyen said. “The flavors and the preparations are the same.” Fall and winter are the restaurant’s busiest seasons. In addition to pho, popular dishes include vermicelli noodle bowls, lemon grass with beef or tofu and shaking beef, so named because the cubes of marinated beef are constantly shaken in the hot pan to ensure they are properly browned on the outside and rare in the middle. Most entrées cost $10-13. While the food has remained the same, the restaurant underwent a major face-lift in 2015, going from a brightly colored takeout spot to an inviting space with dark wood and deep terra cotta-colored walls. Nguyen said T&N transformed from a “hole-in-the-wall” to a place where people want to linger or have meetings. Steffi and Bob Pencovic are longtime customers, who rave about the restaurant’s pho, noodle bowls, garlic butter wings and Vietnamese crepes. “I have for years said this is the best restaurant in Poulsbo,” said Bob Pencovic. “I’m a Vietnam vet, so I know good Vietnamese food.” Steffi Pencovic said one of her favorites is the noodle bowl with grilled beef. “The beef is tender as can be and so flavorful.” Another regular customer, Lisa Girkin, loves the steak pho and rice with short ribs. “The food is just better quality than other pho places we’ve gone to. It’s fresher,” she said.

Silverdale market may be near its end FEWER SALES MIGHT END A 19-YEAR TRADITION IN CENTRAL KITSAP By Christian Vosler

SILVERDALE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After 19 years connecting local vendors and community members, the Silverdale Farmers Market might not open next year, market manager Monica Phillips said. The market, which Phillips helped start, has seen a decrease in sales for the past few years as vendors withdraw and customers stopped coming, she said. In its nearly two decades, the market has been at the Fairgrounds, the parking lot of the Silverdale Beach Hotel and Silverdale Waterfront Park. It moved in 2015 to the parking lot in front of the former Old Navy on Ridgetop Boulevard.

Rachel Bearce, of Belfair, works on a cooper creation at her booth at the Silverdale Farmers Market on a Tuesday in September.
When the market operated at the waterfront, Phillips said, it averaged nearly 45 vendors a week. On a Tuesday in September, around a dozen booths were set up. Vendors say they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t making enough
money, according to Phillips, and are leaving. As for the customers, she says she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure why they stopped coming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just need more customers,â&#x20AC;? Phillips said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out there.

Costco isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t having a hard time.â&#x20AC;? The decline started a few years ago, when the county began construction on the roundabout at Chico Way, Silverdale Way and Newberry Hill Road. Customers complained about the trafďŹ c, Phillips said, and with them went vendors. The market is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays. The midweek time frame originally helped farmers to sell produce soon after harvesting and also helped avoid competition with other Saturday markets in the county, Phillips said. While customers have said they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about the new location, Phillips said she has advertised with signs and online through Facebook.

while she sits in her booth, something food-producers and craftsmen like woodworkers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do. If the market were to close, Aiken said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be hard. I think Silverdale would be very unhappy.â&#x20AC;? Kevin Short, of Shortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family Farms, was selling grass-fed beef at a booth next to Aiken. Short has been at the Silverdale market for more than ďŹ ve years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of ďŹ ve markets where he is a vendor every week. Short, who is based in Chimacum, said he struggles to get customers to make the long drive to the actual farm. The Silverdale market is a convenient location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been a real good one for us,â&#x20AC;? he said. While heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noticed sales contracting, Short said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put his ďŹ nger on why. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It ebbs and ďŹ&#x201A;ows,â&#x20AC;? he said. Short estimates he would lose$400-$600aweekifthe market were to close.

Apossiblesolutionwould be to ďŹ nd a location that would save vendors money and time and allow the market to open more than one day a week. But commercial spaces with enough room for a market are rare, Phillips said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do,â&#x20AC;? shesaid.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;vetriedeverything.â&#x20AC;? Carol Aiken, owner of Cherokee Beach Creations, has been a vendor at the Silverdale market for eight years. Aiken, who makes handmade glass-bead jewelry, said Tuesday that she has noticed a downturn in her sales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sales have been down. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been OK at times, but OK isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always the best,â&#x20AC;? she said. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fortunate to be able to make jewelry

‘Pit-to-pier’ project appears to be dead GRAVEL COMPANY DROPS CHALLENGE OF HOOD CANAL PROTECTION By Tristan Baurick tbaurick@kitsapsun.com 360-792-9212
OLYMPIA — A gravel company has dropped its legal challenge of conservation protections in Hood Canal, likely putting to rest the legal fight over a “pitto-pier” mining operation proposed for the canal’s west side. Jefferson County-based Hood Canal Sand and Gravel had filed a federal lawsuit in 2014 challenging a conservation easement running along the shore from
the Hood Canal bridge to the Jefferson-Mason County line near Eldon. The easement prevented the company from building a conveyor belt system and pier for shipping gravel mined in Jefferson County. The easement was purchased by the Navy from the state Department of Natural Resources for $720,000. It was designed to protect the Navy’s operations while also protecting the environment. Hood Canal Sand and Gravel appealed a 2015 court ruling that backed the
easement. The state Court of Appeals affirmed the ruling in July. The company did not file a second appeal before the Aug. 26 deadline, according to DNR. In a statement, Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark said the court decisions “provide a legacy of protection for a vital marine ecosystem (and) certainty for the Navy’s national security operations.” The easement protects nearly 5,000 acres of Hood Canal tidelands.
Layoffs at Navy support firm 83 NOTIFIED ABOUT CUTS BY CHUGACH By Ed Friedrich efriedrich@kitsapsun.com 360-475-3792
BANGOR — Chugach Federal Services, which provides operations support for Kitsap County Navy bases, notified 83 workers Friday that they will be laid off Oct. 1. “While making the decision was exceptionally challenging, given the scope, nature and complexities of contract operations, the decision is unavoidable at this point in time,” spokeswoman Christina Cober said in a statement. The Anchorage, Alaska-based company began providing services at Kitsap bases June 1, 2014, replacing EJB Facilities
Services. The one-year contract covering installations in the Northwest region was for $30 million, with four option years worth a total of up to $275 million. Services include security operations, fire and emergency, management of medical and nonmedical facilities, pest control, vehicle and equipment, environmental and utilities. The company has tried to be more efficient and cut costs over the past two years. The layoffs are a further attempt to operate more efficiently, Cober said. The number of layoffs could drop if other employees choose to resign voluntarily. They have
received notices and must respond by Friday. Chugach is working with unions to ensure laid-off employees have help in transferring insurance and benefits and to seek other employment opportunities. WorkSource Kitsap area director Margaret Hess said her office is pulling together a rapid-response team to provide information about services that are available. Employees who are laid off are entitled to benefits they earned under the collective bargaining agreement or Chugach personnel policies, or both. Those not covered by the CBA were given two weeks of severance pay, Cober said.

How the incredible shrinking stock market affects your fund By Stan Choe Associated Press business writer
NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; More companies donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want you, or any other investor, to buy their stock. Instead of listing their shares on a stock exchange, businesses are going private or never going public in the ďŹ rst place. Security company ADT, for example, pulled its shares off the market this spring after going private in a nearly $7 billion buyout. Uber, meanwhile, makes it simple for customers to hail a car, but investors canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easily buy a piece of the privately held company, which is valued at more than $60 billion. The number of publicly traded U.S. stocks has been on the decline since the dot-com bust, and there are now only about 3,300 listed in the Center for Research in Security Pricesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; database. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down by roughly half since the late 90s, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the lowest number since 1984, when the U.S. population was about three-quarters the size it is today. For companies, going or staying private means they can more easily ignore the whims of Wall Street analysts and short-term traders who focus on this quarterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers rather than longterm growth. Companies may also be feeling less inclined to sell their stock in an initial public offering when they can instead raise cash cheaply by borrowing at close to record-low interest rates. But while the trend may be good for CEOs, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also limiting the menu of choices available to investors and to the mutual-fund manag-
ers they hire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The U.S. equity world is becoming smaller and smaller, and this could be one of many reasons why active managers are lagging behind their indexes,â&#x20AC;? Steven DeSanctis, an equity strategist at Jefferies, wrote in a recent report. With fewer companies to choose from, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming more difficult for fund managers to differentiate their portfolios from others and to justify the fees they charge. Not only are fewer companies publicly traded, but many of the companies that still list on exchanges have fewer shares available to trade than before. With billions of dollars in the bank and the cost of borrowing close to record lows, companies have been on a buyback binge in recent years. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re repurchasing their shares to eliminate them, which gives their per-share earnings a boost at a time when the global economy is still growing only slowly. Apple, for example, has 17 percent fewer shares available in the market than ďŹ ve years ago. It and the other businesses across the Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index spent a total of $572 billion last year on share repurchases. Fund managers have been complaining for years that big stimulus programs by central banks around the world have caused stocks to increasingly move together in herds, both up and down, which dilutes the rewards for picking stocks. The more limited menu of options means fund managers are increasingly chasing after the same opportunities. So perhaps it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be
a surprise that few are able to distinguish themselves. There are more than 2,000 mutual funds focusing on U.S. stocks alone, according to Morningstar. Only 15 percent of all large-cap stock funds were able to tie or beat the S&P 500 over the 10 years through the end of June, according to a recent tally by S&PDowJonesIndices.The numbers are even worse for managers of small-cap and mid-cap funds. Only 9 percent of managers in either category were able to beat their respective indexes, the S&P SmallCap 600 and S&P MidCap 400, over that decade. The trend has been different in other countries, particularly those whose economies have been opening up in recent years. The number of publicly traded Indian companies has more than quadrupled from 1,295 in 1984, for example. In Canada, the number has roughly tripled, while in Germany itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up slightly. Nine U.S. companies are set to go public this week, headlined by the planned debut of Valvoline on Friday. That would make it the busiest week of the year for the U.S. IPO market. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an anomaly in what has been a particularly slow year for IPOs in this country, which has accelerated the trend of the shrinking stock market. Through August, only 59 IPO deals priced, according to industry watcher Renaissance Capital. That was down by more than half from the pace of 2015 and the weakest eight-month start to a year since 2009, when the economy was emerging from the Great Recession.

Think ahead on employee smartphone use W
e know that Gen X and Gen Y workers, not to mention most of us baby boomers, aresmartphone dependent. In fact, a report from Bank of America stated that 71 percent of smartphone ow ners in America sleep with their phones by their bed. And a Gallup Poll revealed that 79 percent of workers liked being able to stay connected to work via mobile devices when they were off duty. We’re bringing our smartphones and tablets to work, and we’re working on them when we’re not at work. Having a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy has become important for businesses. There are many issues related to allowing employees to bring their devices into the workplace and to use them for business. They range from business and customer security, employee privacy, legal discovery in litigation, and employee compensation. On the positive side, many companies believe that employee morale and engagement increase when workers are allowed to use their own devices. Employees already own the type of device they prefer and using it for work means they won’t have to carry both a personal and business
phone. Individuals tend to keep up with current technology better than corporations. And in the long run, it probably saves the company money by not having to purchase and maintain smartphones for employees. On the downside, having company data on an employee’s smartphone can create security concerns. If the phone gets lost, hacked, or used by someone other than the employee, the company’s information is at risk. Despite all of the efforts we go to protect our servers and computers, one smartphone can jeopardize everything. Businesses create policies to mitigate those issues. They often require employees to use mobile device management technology on their phones and tablets, which protects the company’s data in a separate area. They may also require the right to wipe the phone should it be lost or stolen. When a personal device gets used for business, things become a bit muddied, jeopardizing employee privacy. For instance, the IT department may have to work on a device for an employee, and accidentally discover the employee is receiving emails from a cancer center. If that information is passed on, a potential violation of the Genetic Information Non-
discrimination Act occurs. What if the IT department sees porn on the employee’s device? Does this somehow violate a company policy? Remember, this is a personal device, and an employee could have used it to view pornography on their own time. If you’ve followed the issues with Pierce County Prosecutor
DESPITE ALL OF THE EFFORTS we go to protect our servers and computers, one smar tphone can jeopardize everything.
Mark Lindquist, you will understand how using a personal device for business can become a problem in litigation. Once this happens, the device itself can be part of legal discovery. If your company is involved in litigation and your employee’s device becomes discoverable, this puts their personal information at risk. Or the opposite could happen: your company’s or client’s confidential data is at risk during discovery. Then there’s the issue of compensation, particularly in light of the changes coming to the Fair Labor Standards Act in Decem-
ber, when millions of employees will be classified as nonexempt, requiring them to receive overtime for any hours worked over 40 in a week. Many of us just can’t help checking our emails on our phones in the evenings, on the weekends, and even during vacation. When an employee is nonexempt, this is compensable time. Even if you aren’t expecting your employees to do this, if you are allowing them to, you must pay them for their time. It is important to develop a solid BYOD policy for your company — and one size does not fit all businesses or all employees! There are some key elements to consider, but developing your policy will require input from your IT department and your counsel. Figure out which employees can use their devices. You may want to exclude those who handle particularly sensitive data, such as your HR or finance person. Keep in mind that if your sales people are using their own smartphones, your customers will have their personal numbers, not your business’s. Decide if you’ll allow nonexempt employees to use their own devices — if so, will you permit use outside of work hours? If not, make sure you have a policy that clearly states this.

Have a proactive consent policy about the company’s rights to monitor use, and wipe a lost device. You should consider what would happen if you wiped someone’s device and destroyed something of value to them, such as a music or picture collection. Will you be able to use GPS to track their phone? Will you have an auto-lock on it if it is lost? Have a clear policy on how employees will protect the company’s data, including such things as passwords, anti-virus software, backups, and what to do if a device is lost or stolen. Will you allow employees to backup data into the cloud and use apps in the cloud? If so, you have even less control over your data. Can they share their phones with family or friends? If so, how is your data protected? Keeping employees from using their own devices may be more and more difficult as technology advances and our devices become our pocket computers. Creating a proactive policy to protect your business will ensure that your BYOD policy doesn’t stand for Bring Your Own Disaster.

BUSINESS COMMENTARY | DON BRUNELL
Costs do drive business decisions T
he $15 minimum wage is an example of elected officials with tunnel vision passing sweeping legislation while ignoring the cumulative impacts of all of the other government mandates on employers. They only zero-in on the costs and beneďŹ ts of a single issue, such as the $15 an hourwage,whentheyought to focus on all of the taxes, fees, regulations and laws. Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ordinance took effect on April 1, 2015. It directs businesses with fewer than 500 employees to pay the $15 an hour wage start-
ing in 2021. Employers with 500 or more employees (either in Seattle or nationally) will reach that level in three years. The University of Washington is charged with only studying the ordinance impacts on Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businesses, workers and the overall economy. Earlier this spring, UW researchers determined it had a minimal effect; however, they learned through employer surveys to anticipate businesses increasing prices for goods and services. Meanwhile, some restaurants are already adding surcharges to their tabs. In Seattle, Sanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurants added a 2.55 percent â&#x20AC;&#x153;living wage surchargeâ&#x20AC;?
which goes to the house as a way to offset the costs of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minimum wage hike. If minimum wage expansion was not enough, earlier this month Mayor Ed Murray and the council unanimously passed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;secure schedulingâ&#x20AC;? ordinance. It required two weeks advanced notice of workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; schedules, a minimum of 10 hours between shifts and employers paying workers if schedules are changed after they are posted. That iscalledâ&#x20AC;&#x153;predictabilitypay.â&#x20AC;? It is an administrative nightmare and would apply to quick food services, such as fast food and coffee shops, and retail employers with 500 or more workers worldwide. It tags full-service restaurants with more
than 500 employees and 40 establishments. The combined impact of both city ordinances should be studied by UW. It is not just Seattle impacted by the minimum wage, at the state level, voters are asked to approve I-1433. If approved, it would step-up the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hourly minimum wage from $9.47 to $13.50 by 2020. It also requires employers to provide paid sick leave starting in 2018. Seattle adopted its paid sick leave law in 2011. Workers in companies with 5 to 249 employees accrue a minimum of one hour of paid sick and â&#x20AC;&#x153;safe timeâ&#x20AC;? for every 40 hours worked. Workers in companies with 250 or more employees ac-

quences of the current approach are reduced work hours, fewer jobs, business closures or relocations, and an acceleration in the pace of automation. Recently, Forrester Research reported new artiďŹ cial intelligence systems and robots have replaced 6 percent of all U.S. jobs in the last ďŹ ve years. Robots are penetrating restaurants as well. According to retired McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s USA CEO Ed Rensi, it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheaper to buy a $35,000 robotic arm than it is to hire an employee who is inefficient making $15 an hour bagging French fries.â&#x20AC;? Unfortunately, the reality in this highly competitive world is costs drive employer decisions. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver.

cumulate a minimum of one hour for every 30 hours worked. The point is our elected officialsneedtoquitlooking at issues in isolation. They must consider the impacts of all of the other federal, state and local taxes, fees and regulations to see the true picture of what they are doing to employers and job opportunities. It is total costs of doing business which drives hiring and investment decisions. If it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;pencil outâ&#x20AC;? in Seattle, San Francisco or Los Angeles (all cities which adopted the $15 minimum wage), there is no way to stay in business there.
