who came to us due to his owner’s financial situation. He was a bit shy at first but he has come out of his shell and is one of the first to greet us in the morning now. He gets along well with the other cats he’s been around despite his never living with any other animals. He’s not been around children younger than 12. He enjoys sitting in our laps getting brushed. Vinny will be at the Poulsbo Petco this week hoping to find a new family for the New Year.

County and union negotiations still on the table: Contract negotiations between Kitsap County and labor unions representing more than 740 county employees are continuing, according to Fernando Conill, labor relations manager for Kitsap County. The county has been in negotiations with the 19 unions that operate under 13 different contracts since earlier this year. In total, the unions represent about 65 percent of the 1,134 county employees. Most of the unions or guilds have been operating under previous contracts, some which date back to 2010. The county’s goal is to get the contracts of the various employee groups up to date and extend the agreedto contracts through 2014. According to Conill, the county is negotiating with each group individually, except where several unions are grouped together and work under a master contract. He said some of the contract negotiations began in September, others are in progress and some groups are just getting underway, depending on the union. Although some employees have worked without an updated contract for
months, Conill said there has not been any interruption in county services because of the labor negotiations and he did not anticipate any in the future.

Snow didn’t slow packing of 100 Christmas dinners for local families: Neither rain nor snow could slow the volunteers in their task. Within an hour on Dec. 19, members of the Poulsbo Host Lions Club had filled boxes with enough food for 100 families’ Christmas dinners. “This is great. I love it,” said
John Macdonald, a Poulsbo Lions Club member who drove over snowy roads from his Seabeck home to help. “It’s one of the things I enjoy most about the holiday season.” Lions Club members shopped at Albertsons, Central Market and Red Apple for families whose names were provided by Fishline and ShareNet. The dinners were funded by the Poulsbo Lions/ Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund. This was a team effort. At each market, Lions shopped from a list of items for families of various sizes. Each family received a turkey, bread, brown-and-serve rolls, canned cranberries, canned milk, canned pumpkin, canned vegetables, canned yams, celery, eggs, margarine, onions, potatoes, oranges, stuffing, sugar, vegetable oil, a foil pie tin, and Christmas candy. The stores got into the action as well. At the checkout stand, store employees rang up items from a line of shopping carts and put the items in boxes labeled with the family’s name. The boxes were then stored for pickup — 33 or 34 boxes per store. With discounts given by the stores, each box cost approximately $55, according to Macdonald, a Poulsbo CPA. — NorthKitsapHerald.com

Accident reignites pedestrian safety discussion: Central Kitsap School District has not distributed walk route plans or maps to students, but updates appear to be coming following a Dec. 12 accident when a 17-yearold student was struck by a vehicle. According to Paul Nash, principal of Cottonwood Elementary School, the school hasn’t updated its policy the last few years. Nash said the walk routes need to be updated and that the school hopes to have an updated plan available by January. Washington state regulations require every school district to have suggested walk routes in place for every elementary school, covering a one-mile distance from the school. Because Woodlands and Cottonwood are near Central Valley Road, the majority of suggested walking routes have students traveling along or crossing Central Valley Road. The crosswalks at the elementary schools are controlled by crossing guards in the morning. The junior high doesn’t have the same protections. — CentralKitsapReporter. com

The county has offered its non-union employees a 2 percent cost-of-living raise beginning in January and similar offers are being made to union employees during the various contract negotiations. Conill said the COLA offer includes proposed concessions by union employees. He said giving up longevity premiums are among the concessions being discussed. As with the non-union employees, the county has agreed to no new costs on the part of union employees for health care insurance in 2013. The county is switching to a self-insurance program in 2013 for all employees and as a part of that, the county Board of Commissioners agreed to stipulate that employee costs of the new program would remain the same as what employees are currently paying. — PortOrchardIndependent.com
