Bremerton set to offer parking amnesty program BY KEVAN MOORE KMOORE@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

The city will offer a program next month that waves interest costs for unpaid parking tickets.
Parking ticket scofflaws beware: Now that the Bremerton Municipal Court is set to handle parking tickets, an automatic hold will be put on a driver’s registration if there are outstanding fines that have gone to collections. “We’re trying to be proactive and let people know the electronic system now does this automatically,” said Bremerton Mayor Patty Lent. The good news is that starting next month the court is set to offer an amnesty program that will waive all interest payments for unpaid tickets so drivers won’t be blocked from regis-
tering their vehicles. Bremerton Municipal Court Manager Dawn Nelson says that people will still have to pay the original fines, late fees and collection fees. “It gives the public an opportunity to take care of these before a hold goes on their registration which hasn’t happened in a long time,” Nelson said. “It’s kind of a public service to give people an opportunity to clear that up.” During a study session last week, some members of the city council wondered if there was a better way to incentivize people with lots of unpaid parking tickets to pay up. “People who don’t pay their tickets aren’t gonna care if you waive the
interest,” said council member Eric Younger. “They’re just not gonna pay it in general.” Younger wondered whether there was a way to reduce the fines in order for the city to collect a bigger chunk of the estimated $2 million it is owed in unpaid tickets. “The incentive is they can’t renew their tabs, so there’s a little bit of incentive there,” Nelson said. Nelson also noted that the interest on unpaid tickets can really add up, and isn’t an insignificant number in some cases. “If someone has 10, 15 or 20 tickets out there, it could be a significant amount,” Nelson said.
Boy Scouts leaving NAD cabin for Silverdale Bremerton store set to close Feb. 25, reopen in Silverdale March 3 BY KEVAN MOORE KMOORE@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
After more than 25 years at the old Naval Ammunition Depot (NAD) on Austin Drive, the Boy Scouts are moving their shop and service center from Bremerton to Silverdale. The Bremerton store is set to close Feb. 25 and the new Silverdale shop, located in Suite 116 at 10876 Myhre Road, is set to open March 3. The Scouts have operated out of the NAD Park location since 1998. The historic building, which is owned by the City of Bremerton, was constructed in the 1940s as a guardhouse for the Naval Ammunition Depot. “It had consider-
able dry rot and roof issues when the Scouts took it over in 1988,” said Bremerton Parks Director Wyn Birkenthal. “The Scouts did considerable work on the building before opening it as a store in Feb. 1989.” Birkenthal said that the city has not used the building for other purposes. Prior to the Scouts taking over the space, there was talk about using it for a park restroom. “This did not come about as the city built a restroom across from where the Jet Fighter now sits,” Birkenthal added. Sharon M. Moulds, a Scout Executive/CEO with the Chief Seattle Council, said that the organization, which serves Kitsap, Clallam, Jefferson and North Mason counties, has simply outgrown the small cabin. “In order to better serve our customers, we have decided to relocate
our national Scout Shop to Silverdale,” Moulds said. “This is where most people go to shop and the location is farther north, making it a little closer to more of our volunteer leaders and parents. Additionally, we needed more space. This move will allow us to provide our customers with better selection of inventory that meets their needs.” Birkenthal said the city is working with the Scouts to structurally evaluate the building and see what steps will be needed to keep it in useable condition for the long term. He said the building could be offered to a community group that wishes to adopt it and/or care for it. “We have truly enjoyed the cabin that Bremerton has provided for us,” Moulds added. “We appreciate all the support the city of Bremerton has provided to Scouting.”

The Boy Scouts Store and Service Center at NAD Park in Bremerton is relocating next month to a larger space in Silverdale. The city does not yet have any plans for the historic cabin once the Scouts vacate the space they first took over in 1988.

and providing the infrastructure needed for businesses to expand in our area.” As a mother of three and director of a music school, Bowling said that improving educational opportunities in our area is a high priority. “Funding for our local schools – especially those in rural areas is inadequate,” she said. “College opportunities are made difficult by skyrocketing tuition and huge commuting distances for rural residents, and we must refocus technical and vocational training to capture the skills and jobs of our new economy.” Another focus for Bowling in the Senate would be accountability. “Every one of us is held accountable in life for what we do and don’t do,” she said. “That should not be any different for politicians or State Government. Elected officials owe it to the taxpayers to spend money wisely, be truthful about their intentions, and roll up their sleeves and get to work in a bipartisan fashion
on the pressing issues facing our state.” Bowling, 56, has a long history of volunteering and community involvement. She is a 2012 YWCA recipient of the Outstanding Woman of Achievement Award, a former board member of the Bremerton Symphony, a founding member and trustee of the West Sound Performing Arts Center and a frequent concert pianist for charitable causes. Bowling’s family has long ties to Kitsap County. Her grandparents moved to Kitsap in the 1930s. She entered college at age 16 and worked her way through school until receiving her Doctoral Degree from the University of Washington. She has performed as a concert pianist in Europe, Mexico and across the United States. She has been the owner of Bowling Music Studios, Inc. for 34 years. She and her husband, Bill Pontius, have been married for 35 years and are parents to Andrew, Michael and Mae.

Bangor Marines get flag
Jack James, of the Navy League of the United States (NLUS) Bremerton/Olympic Peninsula Council, recently presented the Marine Corps Security Force Battalion (MCSFBN) Bangor with a United States Flag flown at the Marine Corps War Memorial. The retired flag was passed to James by Columbia Flag & Banner Company, a Columbia, South Carolina company that also rescues, safeguards, and finds appropriate ceremonial homes for flags of historical significance or ready for repurposing after being used by active military units. Often called the “Iwo Jima Memorial,” the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, contains the iconic statute of the World War II flag-raising on February 23rd, 1945 by Marines at the top of Mount Suribachi, 660 miles south of Toyko. The memorial was opened on November 10, 1954 and is dedicated to all Marines who have given their lives in the defense of the United States since 1775. Earlier in 2013, James was contacted by Columbia’s Neil Dennington, a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army Chaplain Corps about the opportunity to pass-on the flag to an active Marine Corps unit. Dennington and James, a retired U.S. Navy Commander (SEALS) were “tent mates” in Qatar in 2002 supporting Special Operation Command Central Forward operations. Dennington and James had

Maj.

I know they are very interested in connecting their newest Marines to the rich history and legacy of the Corps,” said James. James then contacted the Battalion Senior Enlisted Marine, Sergeant Major Steven Burkett, who was very receptive to adopting the flag. MCSFBN Bangor, the largest Security Force Battalion within the Corps’ global Security Force Regiment, provides a dedi-
cated, tailored, quick-reaction security force for select Naval Base Kitsap highvalue assets. The Bangor battalion itself has a storied past, and has been awarded a Navy Unit commendation, three Meritorious Unit Commendations, and a Commandant of the Marine Corps Certificate of Commendation. On hand to accept the flag from James were Burkett, Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Keane, MCSFBN Bangor Commanding Officer, and MACM (SW/AW) George Serrano, Senior Enlisted Advisor. Battalion leadership plans to hang it in a location where it can be seen daily by all Marines as a reminder of their rich history.
Auction raises $7,400 for area non-profits Kitsap Cancer Services and the Rotary Club of East Bremerton held their annual Sweetheart Dinner Auction Fundraiser recently. A soldout crowd was on hand to see who would win the one carat diamond donated by Richard Koven of Dahlquist Fine Jewelry in Poulsbo. Kitsap Princesses handed out jewelry boxes to those who had purchased chances, and on cue, everyone opened them to reveal the lucky winners Janet Olson and Rick Jackson. The diamond alone raised $7,400 for the local nonprofits.
Discover E Day set for Feb. 22

Fire department gets donated pet oxygen masks
The Bremerton Fire Department received a donation of three sets of animal oxygen masks through a national effort known as the Project BreatheTM Program (www.invisiblefence.com/O2).
Bremerton joins the ranks of cities including Chicago, Cleveland and Memphis, who have all received donated pet masks from this program. It is estimated that up to 40,000 pets die each year in fires (www.live-safe.org); most succumbing to smoke inhalation and other toxic products of combustion. In the past, when any effort was made to resuscitate a pet involved in a fire, masks and other oxygen delivery devices specifically designed for human application were adapted for use. Until recently, specially designed and potentially lifesaving animal oxygen masksets were not widely available and emergency responders, despite their best intentions, were unequipped to render assistance, said fire department officials.
If you don’t make your final arrangements, who will? Surely, it’s not a responsibility you want to leave to your children. Talk to one of our counselors or funeral directors to find out why planning in advance is one of the most economical and loving things you can do for your family. It lessens the financial and emotional burden from them during a difficult time and spares them from making the painful decisions. You will provide your family a sense of relief and a true gift: peace of mind.

Invisible Fence Project BreatheTM has established a goal of equipping every fire station in the U.S. and Canada with pet oxygen masks. Invisible Fence BrandR has, thus far, donated a total in excess of 10,000 pet oxygen masks to fire departments throughout the U.S. and Canada. A reported 90-plus pets have been saved by donated masks, since the program’s inception. “When a family suffers the tragedy of fire, lives are turned upside down…we realize that humans are the first priority, but in many cases, pets can be saved if firefighters have the right equipment,” says Karyn Kline of Invisible Fence Peninsulas, the local contact for this program. “The Project BreatheTM Program is simply a way of giving firefighters the tools necessary to save pets lives.”

The wrong move
Being from Kansas can sometimes have its ups and downs. The ups come mostly in basketball season when my alma mater, The University of Kansas, does well at the Big Dance. The downs, well, those are all about politics. Growing up in Kansas in one of a very few Democratic families was challenging. Far before I even knew what politics meant, neighbor kids would tell me my parents were wrong when they’d put up yard signs for Democratic candidates. But it took moving away from Kansas to really see how conservative Kansas is. Never mind the antics of Kansans like Fred Phelps and his family at the Westboro Baptist Church in my hometown of Topeka. Having gone to school with the Phelps’ kids, and been in Topeka when their campaign of hate began, I soon realized that the world would see them as I did — crazies. But the most recent action of the Kansas Leslie Kelly Legislature goes way beyond antics. What the Kansas House has done is just plain wrong. The predominantly Republican Kansas House has passed legislation that allows individuals, groups and businesses to deny service to samesex couples. They claim this law protects religious freedoms. They say that anyone who doesn’t support same-sex couples because of religious reasons has the right not to serve gay couples. This includes state employees. The State Senate sent the bill to committee for review. It very likely could become law in Kansas. It reads, in part: “No individual or religious entity shall be required by any governmental entity to do any of the following, if it would be contrary to the sincerely held religious beliefs of the individual or religious entity regarding sex or gender: “Provide any services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges; provide counseling, adoption, foster care and other social services; or provide employment or employment benefits, related to, or related to the celebration of, any marriage, domestic partnership, civil union or similar arrangement.” Within the law, there are some small concession to gay couples. If an employee at a nonreligious or government business refuses to serve a gay or lesbian couple for religious reasons, the manager is obligated to find another employee who will oblige. It also explicitly says that the law does not authorize discrimination against anyone, including clergy, who performs or supports same-sex unions. SEE MOVE, A5

The most annoying retail issues It’s tax preparation time. Personally, I would much rather endure a root canal than work on my taxes. It is that time of year to not only complete the necessary forms that meet those important Federal filing requirements, but an opportunity to review the previous year’s spending patterns. The bigger family financial picture is easily revealed when an entire year’s worth of financial documents is laid out before you or condensed down into a financial software spreadsheet like we have on our computer. What surprised me the most from my review of 2013 was a significant change in the names of the stores I chose to make the vast majority of my purchases from. The names of once loved, top chain department stores were few and far between or did not appear at all. They had been replaced with local and regional names instead. While shopping locally is always something I take into consideration, my increasing avoidance of the main stream, mall-type shopping experience has less to do with keeping it “local” and so much more to do with being turned off by the constant stream of pressure applied to me as a consumer every single time I step up to the register. I call it retail panhandling and it makes me want to take a shower when I get home.

Colleen Smidt No, I don’t want to sign up for your store credit card. No, I prefer not to give every store that asks my personal contact information. I do not need to hear from you (for the third time) on how I am missing out on “points” by not signing up for the store rewards program. I came in to purchase a new sweater. Please ring up my sweater. Take the real green cash money I am giving you and hand me my receipt. It is extremely simple and the people behind me so very much appreciate that you have not wasted their time either by asking me a bunch of questions I really do not want to answer. No, I do not want to take your survey about how my experience
was, since I have little to no intention of repeating it by ever coming into your store again. I get even more irritated when banks engage in these types of marketing practices. There are reasons why I prefer a credit union to service my primary checking, savings and credit accounts. The prime reason is that when I walk into the credit union and am assisted by a teller, that person is there to serve and focus on my financial transaction needs, period. They are not there to sell me on goods and services I am not asking about, need or desire. They are not there to worry about the number of account or credit card quota “sales” they have made this week or month to keep their job. When it comes to my money that is invested with a financial institution, the last person I want assisting me is a sales person. Instead, I actually insist on working with someone who specializes in financial transactions. Bottom line is that I am going to shop and bank where I feel the most comfortable. Constant sales pressure does not make me feel comfortable and all it did was end up driving me away from your company completely instead of earning you more of my business. You might want to rethink your practices.

Why would a conservative vote for the Real Hope Act? BY SEN. TIM SHELDON The state Senate recently approved a measure that would extend state financial-aid eligibility to undocumented Washington students. I was one of 35 bipartisan votes in favor of the bill; many of you have questioned why a self-proclaimed conservative would vote in such a way. My maternal grandparents came to this country from Sweden in the early 1900s – without documentation. Neither spoke English at the time; my grandfather made a living in the woods as a choker setter and my grandmother as a domestic worker. Their desire for a better quality of life produced a legacy of determination and
hard work in my family. Their two daughters went on to graduate from the University of Washington because luckily, we don’t live in a country that punishes children for their parents’ indiscretions. In America, we don’t take away children’s freedoms because they weren’t born here; we don’t withhold food or shelter or their chance to thrive. I am glad that we live in a country that encourages children to flourish, regardless of legal status. I’m not excusing the actions of those who are here illegally. I hope all undocumented residents work to obtain citizenship, and I hope the federal government continues to work
State Sen. Tim Sheldon on immigration reform to make the path to citizenship more attainable. Our hands are tied in Olympia because only Congress can make laws regarding immigration, while the state can
only address limited issues such as financial aid and eligibility standards. Because the measure we passed improves on what is commonly referred to as the state “Dream Act,” it’s been renamed and is now known as the Real Hope Act. Not only does it open eligibility to undocumented students, it also commits $5 million more to the State Need Grant – a financial aid program for low-income students. The program is currently underfunded, leaving about 32,000 eligible students without aid. An additional $5 million will benefit all eligible students, not just those who are undocumented. It’s important to point out that undocumented stu-
dents would have to meet strict requirements prior to eligibility and they wouldn’t go to the front of the line; they would simply join the pool of those already eligible for state financial aid. I am glad my grandparents came to America and I’m proud of the values they instilled in their children and grandchildren. Today, I’m honored to manage the family-owned tree farm that my grandfather established all those years ago and to have received an education at my mom’s alma mater, the University of Washington. We are all shaped by life experiences – things that give us our identity, and form our opinions and actions. My family’s story helped shape my opinion
when it came time to vote on Senate Bill 6523. The measure passed overwhelmingly with support from members of both parties, which tells me this isn’t a matter of political stance. As with many things, I think we can find bipartisan solutions to our problems if we just continue to work together. Sen. Tim Sheldon, D-Potlatch, represents the 35th Legislative District, which includes Mason County and portions of Kitsap and Thurston Counties. He is president pro tempore of the Washington State Senate and a member of the Senate Majority Coalition Caucus.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Olympic Gymnastics Center, a gem of a gym This letter is in response to an article about Cascade Elite Gymnastics West (CEGW) published Feb. 9, which stated several times that it has a “family atmosphere” in contrast to any other gym in Kitsap County.

This proposed law is wrong. We’ve come too far for this. Having grown up in the era when civil rights were extended to African Americans, this law, which allows discrimination based on sexual preference, is a step backward. Claiming religious freedom is just a way to legitimize discrimination. You don’t have to agree with, or even like someone, to serve them, to do business with them, or to have them as a member of your club or
than 30 years ago. We find the gym, its staff, the girls on recreational and competitive teams, and their parents to be a large second family. OGC coaches, young and old, have provided consistent support and care for their athletes. Their guidance, training and inspiration have been a major part of the growth and development of the girls. They have gained confidence and skills that will serve them well for the rest of their lives. When Frank Lee left OGC in 2011 with six gymnasts, it
group. Having roots in Kansas, legislation such as this is embarrassing to me. It’s important to know that while they are the minority, there are residents in Kansas who, like me, think this action is wrong. Not all Kansans are conservative. Not all Kansans think like the Phelps. Politics is politics. But the law is more. Every American should be treated the same under the law. Here in Washington, we can be proud that the majority of us are more open minded.

was a devastating loss to the OGC family. It still saddens us to think Mr. Lee did not appreciate the atmosphere that continues to thrive at OGC, though we are happy to hear he and his partners are content with the environment at CEGW. OGC is highly respected in the state and region, with a long track record of success, experience, ethical practices and support for its own athletes as well as those of other competitive teams. We are proud of the banners and trophies celebrating the success of so many current and former competitive gymnasts at OGC. OGC has made a huge difference in our daughter’s life. We are thrilled to be a part of the OGC family, and we are so happy to have found this gym.

NK School District owes principal an apology The news of the principal of Poulsbo Elementary School
returning to duty is another example of politically correct hypersensitivity run amok. Claudia Alves, a respected long time educator in the North Kitsap School District, was put on paid leave for discussing two words related to the black population. Both words are in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. One is an old derogatory slang term that nowadays is wrongly and most frequently used by black rap singers. A number of these awardwinning “singers” rake in millions of dollars from sales of their music in spite of this. Who is buying this “music” and why are they not offended? The second is a term that was used for decades as a racial identifier, included in memorable speeches by Dr. Martin Luther King. In fact, a long time organization, the United Negro College Fund, Inc., still proudly carries this word in their copyrighted title and solicits and obtains millions of dollars from donors. According to a recent annual report they received
$167,085,418 during 2012 from contributors. Apparently these donors are not offended by the use of this word. The hypocrisy is jaw dropping. In a discussion in an academic setting, must we now spell out certain words in the dictionary letter by letter? A “mistake” indeed was made, which was putting Ms. Alves on leave for doing her job. She deserves a published apology from the school district.

Thanks from CKSD On behalf of Central Kitsap School District and the Board of Directors, we want to thank voters for passing our school support levy. We’ve had a levy in place for almost 20 years, and we are grateful for this steady support. Levy dollars will help us bridge the gap between the funding we receive and the true cost of running a district. The school support levy makes up
20 percent of our budget and will aid nearly every area of our operations. It also gives us access to an estimated $9 million each year in additional state and federal money. This levy renewal is a clear message that our community expects us to provide students a well-rounded education. But our community’s expectations go beyond student achievement. We also have a responsibility to use these tax dollars wisely. Our promise to our community is that we will keep your trust by being honest and open in all areas of fiscal management and district operations. We encourage citizens to attend our meetings, review our budgets, ask questions and get involved in our schools. Thank you, once again, for your support. Mark Gaines President, CKSD School Board Hazel Bauman Superintendent

Grandpa Dan Schremser helps third grader Tyler Uffens. kids will keep your mind active. There’s no need for people to vegetate and wither away. As long as you have the ability, why not?” Although he still has the pep to power through math problems with students, things have changed for 88-year-old Schremser since he first started volunteering. Yet no matter how he’s feeling, his shiny attitude always stays intact, staffers said. Nowadays, he gets around a little slower, with a motorized scooter and an oxygen tank on back. He’ll take the elevator instead of the stairs. Instead of roving around classrooms, the kids come
to his work station that’s crowded with file folders that Schremser uses to track student progress. He even takes homework home with him so he can grade the paperwork. And he always will run things past teachers before taking a new teaching habit upon himself, he said. Woehrman believes part of what makes Schremser such a unique volunteer is his age. Many students are without grandparents, and it is a good lesson in how to treat the elderly, she said. While his age and agility have changed, the one constant for the volunteer is his love of sharing learning with students. A poem titled, “Walk with

me Grandpa” is displayed on his table as a reminder of why he gets up and heads to the school at least three times a week. It was given to him by kindergarten students he once volunteered with long ago. “How can I not be here?” asked Schremser. “I saw a need for some help. I thought if I could do it, why not?” He’s got photos albums filled with thank you notes and photographs of students he’s helped in the past. He smiles when he looks at the gratitude scrawled by the students. “Dear Grandpa Dan: Thank you for your time of commitment and pushing me in reading.” “Dear Grandpa Dan: Thank you for helping and believing in us in math and reading. You are so wise. I know you expect us to succeed in a lot of things. I will.” Each one is always signed with love. It’s the sweet words, nice notes and lightbulbon achievements that keep Grandpa Dan going, he said. When he’s home grading the exercises he worked on with students, he thinks of his own struggles with math. As someone who has an eighth-grade education,
he knows it’s the early years of learning that really matter, he said. “Some of these kids are pretty sharp,” he said. “You don’t want to underestimate them.” He’ll scrawl notes on the side of homework, and adds smiley faces for encouragement, “so they know I’m not mad at them,” he said when they may get an answer wrong. It’s that same encouragement he wishes he would have received as a child in school, he said. Aside from regular “thank yous” and notes, his dedicated efforts have won him a Golden Acorn Award, a statewide volunteer recognition program. “He’s here no matter what,” said Amanda Ericson, a third-grade Pine Crest teacher. “He really wants the kids to succeed. You can always count on him being here.” Ericson witnessed Schremser’s dedication from the start, when she was a new teacher at the school. Her students now work with him on a regular basis, something she and the students both appreciate, she said.

Girls on the Run local chapter ready to run BY SERAINE PAGE SPAGE@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
A new fitness group is about to take off running in Kitsap County. Girls on the Run of West Sound, is the area’s newest running group focused on girls in third through fifth grades. It is a local chapter of a national non-profit organization focused on teaching life skills, including fitness through running. “I knew there was a need in the community for this type of program,” said Rachel Bearbower, Girls on the Run of West Sound (formerly Kitsap County) executive director. “This program is about running, but it is so much more than that. It’s about empowering and building confidence and helping these girls really build skills that will set them up for later on in life.” Girls on the Run is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams,” states the Girls on the Run website. The non-prof it was founded in 1996 in Charlotte, North Carolina and has since expanded to more than 200-plus cities in the U.S. Now, nearly two years and $7,500 later,

Suzie Banzer, No. 490, gets ready for one of her very first races in 1982. Banzer, now a Girls on the Run of West Sound coach, hopes to help young girls discover the joys of running. Bearbower is ready to sign even more girls up before the March 1 deadline. The cost is $140 to participate, but scholarships are available, especially for those who meet the public schools standard of free and reduced lunch. Fifty girls have signed up so far, but the group has plenty of room for others to join, Bearbower said. For 12 weeks, a small team of girls will meet to go over curriculum and do a workout. At the end of the season, the
girls will join in on the 5k Cougar Prowl CKHS Alumi Association event on June 7. The meetings will focus on talking about

age, like bullying, healthy eating and gossiping. Gossiping, for example, is an important topic covered that’s easily demonstrated with a tube of toothpaste, said Bearbower, who started working with a Girls on the Run chapter in Boston. For the demonstration, the girls pass along a paper plate that has toothpaste on it. Each girl attempts to shove the toothpaste back into the tube. “The lesson is that
once you say something, it’s out there, you can’t really take it away,” Bearbower said. Ultimately, girls will have a safe place to talk with peers and adults who they can trust by being involved in activities together that positively reinforces healthy lifestyles. The confidence building and running is only part of the reason Suzie Banzer decided to volunteer as a coach. As someone who has been running since she was 8 years old, Banzer, now 42, said she is thrilled to become a coach for the Poulsbo chapter. “I’m over-the-top excited, and I think that so many girls are gonna benefit,” she said. Banzer said running is the very skill she learned that gave her confidence as a girl growing up. Her dad got her into the sport, and now she runs frequently to stay in shape. “Running, it kind of always saved me,” she said. “It’s the health and the confidence of the mind.” The word “can’t” was never allowed in her vocabulary growing up, she said. Her father kept a “can’t” jar that his children had to put
a nickel in every time they said they couldn’t do something. With that kind of wisdom that’s shaped her, Banzer is looking forward to helping instill confidence in young girls. As a mom and frequent volunteer in schools, churches and productions with children, Banzer said she’s looking forward to training children in a new realm. “I’m so grateful Rachel brought it here,” Banzer said of the program. “They just got here, and they are growing by leaps and bounds.” Currently, there are five meeting sites scheduled for the spring season. The Bremerton site is still seeking members to join. Coaches are also needed as each site requires three to four mentors for the girls. “I think this is a program that helps them find who they are at a very young age,” said Bearbower. “Let’s get some positive role models in front of these girls.” For more information, visit www.girlsontherunkitsap.org or contact Rachel Bearbower at 360-621-9837.
HEAR BETTER THIS YEAR
“After a 20-year career in U.S. Navy submarines, I realized my hearing was on the threshold of disqualifying me from further service, so I opted to retire. Although I tried to ignore it, my hearing loss was affecting my life and my livelihood. I was comfortable with what the Veterans Hospital provided, but over the years my hearing continued to degrade, and regular, professional checkups were becoming more valuable to me. At this point, I decided to explore other options. It turned out to be a great decision for many reasons. I met with Dr. Joy Nilsson when I was in my late 40s. The care she provides is the reason I am still working today at the age of 63. Over the years, she has continued to seek out new solutions to the challenges I present to her. As my hearing loss continues to degrade, Dr. Joy Nilsson is the key. Under her care, the latest in hearing aids are working well for me.” —Ron T.

Teen rodeo queen is more than a pretty face BY SERAINE PAGE SPAGE@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
There’s more to being a rodeo queen than looking pretty and putting on a cowgirl hat and some shiny buckles. While kicking up dust is one way Miss Teen Rodeo Washington contestants score points during the three-day pageant, there’s also the technical aspect, said Miss Teen Rodeo Washington 2014 winner Brielle Stevens. “I tried out and had such a great time,” said 17-yearold Stevens, a fifth generation Washington native. Stevens, of Bremerton, has been riding since she was a toddler. On Saturday, Stevens and her family hosted a coronation fundraiser to help fund the teen rodeo queen’s travel and future pageant endeavors. The event was held in Bremerton at the West Side Improvement Club. On Oct. 12, 2013, she took the crown at the conclusion of the contest after

Brielle Stevens she made top honors in presentation, appearance, sales, knowledge, photogenic qualities and speech. Now, Stevens has the responsibility of representing Washington State rodeos through her travels by promoting the culture, tradition and western heritage through educating others. Getting to the top wasn’t easy, though. While training last year for the Miss Rodeo Washington Pageant, Stevens suffered a severe leg
injury in May, just months before she was due to perform. Moments after her grand entry into a rodeo, her performance went awry. Stevens fell off her horse and suffered a spiral leg fracture and broken ankle. Three screws and a rod later, Stevens was back to practicing for her big debut. With one crown already under her belt buckle — as the Miss Kitsap Fair and Stampede Queen — Stevens knew to train hard with mentors. The teen said she wasn’t scared to get back to riding. It was all she thought about during her six weeks of healing. She was ready to get back on her “trustworthy boy,” a chestnut brown horse named Hot Pocket. In order to come out on top of the contest, teen rodeo queens are required to be knowledgable in a variety of areas before trying to obtain the title. Stevens studied equine diseases, current events and even had to learn manners.
The hardest thing to do is look elegant eating barbecue, which is often served at rodeos, Stevens joked. For one hour every night leading up to the pageant event, Stevens spent time studying in addition to school and other activities. After being crowned, Stevens immediately went to work and hopes to “be able to promote western culture, heritage and values across Washington state and the United States,” she said. She’ll spend the next several months trying to get sponsors for the local rodeo. As an eleventh grade honors student at Klahowya High School, Stevens stays active in multiple clubs and extracurriculars. She is a member of DECA, science club, Rachel’s Challenge (with a group mission to combat bullying), Students Opposing Suicide and National Honor Society. She is also a church youth group leader and a youth camp leader. Additionally, she has held leadership
positions during her nineyear membership in her 4-H club. The judges aren’t the only one who Stevens impresses. Those who worked with her after she received her title continue to be awed. “She is very wise beyond her years,” said Sara Prchal, vice president and director of Teen Miss Rodeo Washington. “It’s hard to believe she’s young as she is. She’s very mature for her age. I really admire her family values, and she’s got a really great supportive family.” To stay grounded, Stevens leans on her family and attends church, which really helps her focus, she said. Keeping track of the day’s agenda is also a must for the busy teenager. “My family helps me stay really focused,” she said. “I wake up every morning and thank God for my blessings. I literally sit down and write down what I’ve got to get done.” Ultimately, Stevens hopes to one day take home
the title of Miss Rodeo Washington. Participants must be at least 21 years old, so Stevens will head to college before getting back in the saddle for the pageant. She hopes to become a physical therapist with a specialization in equine for special education children. Until then, she’s happy just being a teen rodeo queen and representing what rodeos are all about. “I am so blessed to have this experience,” she said. “I’m thankful to God to live in a free country and be a rodeo queen.” And others, like Prchal, are thankful that someone like Stevens is willing to step into her title as a teen rodeo queen. “She is the ultimate positive role model for young women and children throughout the community,” said Prchal. “She’s very involved with her community. She’s very well-spoken and very polite toward everybody.”

Kitsap Transit seeks passenger only ferry plan BY KEVAN MOORE KMOORE@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
Kitsap Transit is putting out a request for proposals this week in hopes of hiring a consultant to develop a long-range plan for cross Sound passenger only ferry service. Kitsap Transit Executive Director John Clauson says that bids should come back by March 19 and will then be reviewed by a special committee. He said he hopes to see a final report by the end of August. The agency is poised to spend up to
$300,000 for the plan. The request for proposals comes at a time when the state Legislature is considering a pair of bills that would allow for the creation of special ferry districts in counties with less than 1 million people that could establish up to a threetenths of one percent sales tax. When the bills were first introduced, the taxing rate was set at six-tenths of one percent. Two prior efforts to create a ferry district have failed in Kitsap County. The first

attempt failed in 2003 with 61.3 of voters saying “no.” A second effort to create a ferry district in 2007 was rejected by 54.5 percent of voters. The new legislation, though, would allow for the creation of smaller, more targeted districts where passenger ferries would presumably be more popular. At least one member of the Kitsap Transit board, Poulsbo Mayor Becky Erickson, remained skeptical. “It’s no secret that I have not been a supporter of passenger only ferries because they are way too expensive for the amount of customers they serve,” Erickson said. “If Bremerton, Port Orchard and South Kitsap wanna move forward, that’s great.” Erickson said that the creation of ferry tax districts could affect some purchasing decisions, especially when it comes to big ticket items like cars and homes. “I’m extremely torn,” she said. “Folks in South Kitsap have been pushing this for years. The subsidies that are required are enormous. Where do they come from? If we do districting, there are huge portions of this county that absolutely do not support this because they don’t see a benefit.”

East High gym’s roof in desperate need of repair BY KEVAN MOORE KMOORE@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
The old East High gym, now part of Bremerton’s Youth Wellness Campus, is in dire need of a new roof. “We need to get a roof on this gym as soon as possible because it may not make it through another winter if we don’t fix it,” said Bremerton Youth Wellness Campus Executive Director Patricia Hennessy. The old gym, which is about 30,000 square feet, and an
auxiliary gym, at about 10,000 square feet, are covered by the same leaky roof. Early estimates peg total roof repairs at somewhere in the neighborhood of $500,000. “Earlier this year, the auxiliary gym took a pretty hard hit and it’s unusable right now because of all the damage that’s been done, so the Boys and Girls Club can’t use it at all,” Hennessy said, noting that the main gym, at least for now, is still in use. Hennessy said that the gym is a cornerstone of the entire
campus and a big part of Bremerton’s history. “We don’t want the gym to go away because we can’t reroof it,” she said. “It’s a top, top priority and we’ve bumped it to the front of the ($16 million fundraising) line.” Hennessy says that private grants, state funding and individual donations are all being pursued to replace the roof. “We’re leaving no stone unturned and turning over all of those stones quickly so that we can get those funds to do the repairs,” she said.
One such fund-raising effort will be a “prom” set to be held June 28. More information about the special fund-raising event will be forthcoming in Youth Wellness Campus newsletters which folks can sign up for at www.youthcampus. org. Supporters can also follow the Youth Wellness Campus on Facebook and Twitter for ongoing updates. The gym is part of a campus that includes a $3.5 million Boys and Girls Club that opened in November along with a low-cost dental clin-
ic. The Bremerton School District plans to house a $4 million central kitchen on the campus in coming years while demolishing about 125,000 square feet of unused former classroom space. Other plans for the seven-acre site call for improved green spaces, a music pavilion, a farmers’ market and more. Built in 1955, the original gym includes room for sideby-side basketball practices. The newer auxiliary gym building provides space for yet another game or practice.
The gym is a highly coveted space used by numerous youth sports and fitness organizations. It is currently being used by 20 groups serving more than 600 youth. Supporters say that once the gym is re-roofed and fully renovated, it will become a hub of fitness and physical activity — in an area with very few similar options. Local youth will be able to take part in basketball leagues, PeeWee sports, open gym sessions and other youthrelated programs, all operating in the gym.
Hosting a booth and having staff spend time at the Seattle Boat Show was well worth it,
according to Kathy Garcia, marina operations manager for the Port of Bremerton. Garcia recently gave port commissioners a report about the nine day show. “Being there resulted in bringing two new tenants to the marina in Port Orchard, and one new tenant to the Bremerton Marina,” Garcia said. “They were long days, but well worth the time.” Garcia said one of the most popular topics for boat owners and others who stopped by the booth was the port’s new cruising club.
“People liked the promotion,” she said. “It captured a lot of attention.” The Olympic Cruising Club was the idea of Bob Wise, a consultant with the port who is working to bring more tenants to the Bremerton Marina. It allows permanent tenants at Bremerton to “cruise” about the Kitsap Peninsula and stay over at other participating marinas for one or two nights with no moorage fee charged. The cruising club is only a few months old and doesn’t cost the port anything, Garcia said. “It’s a one-way deal,” she said.
“We aren’t being charged for it and our tenants can participate. But tenants at the ports who are a part of this, don’t get free moorage here.” Wise had previously explained that the cruising club is an experimental thing for the first year. If it takes off, it may be extended and could become a two-way deal. Garcia said there were officials of other marinas in the area who asked about it and may want to be a part of it. She said it was also a popular selling tool for bringing boaters to the Bremerton Marina. And she noted that there will be an article about the Bremerton Marina and the cruising club in an upcoming issue of Marina Dock Age, a national publication. In all, 51,684 people attended the show. Attendance was up about 2 percent over 2013, including the fact that the show closed a day early, due to the Seahawks being in the Super Bowl.
“Thirty-two states were represented, along with five Canadian provinces and even one party from Brazil,” she said. Garcia said she had several leads on boaters who were interested in Bremerton. But she said most of them were in leases that required 30-day notices. She said she was going to follow up on those leads. “Love our Live-a-boards” was a theme at the port’s booth and Garcia said that got attention, too. “Some people didn’t know that we offered live-a-boards,” she said. “And many people asked about what there is to do within walking distance of both marinas. We shared the ‘walking maps’ and pointed out the shopping, the restaurants and the museums. They were impressed with the quality of life we have to offer.” Commissioners thanked Garcia and other staff for participating. “It was a success,” said Garcia. “We created a buzz.”

the Treasury Department and the White House. My youngest son, Lindell, ran to him like a favorite uncle. And then the most amazing thing (if you’re a 7-year-old boy who loves dogs) happened: a White House staffer came through with the First Family’s Portuguese Water Dogs, Bo and Sunny. Forget the Congressman or the
White House, Lindell was in the presence of dogs, and it was the highlight of his day. Sure, most kids don’t get to stand in the Bookseller’s room of the White House or have a front-row view of an official arrival ceremony, but all Lindell wanted to do was pet those dogs again. Inside the White House,
these men and women take in their duty to the president that almost nothing changes when a soldier goes down. The soldiers on either side still stand stiff as boards, and the downed soldier stays in place until help arrives. In this case, the Secret Service got to him first. When he stood up, there was blood on his face. My boys turned to their dad, also in uniform, with eyes big as saucers. Later, he would talk to them about the duty, pride and honor those soldiers feel for their position; why no other solider could move to help the downed man; and why the man who fainted would rather collapse and bust open his face than shirk his duty to the country and the president. Impressive indeed. But for Lindell, still not as memorable as meeting Bo and Sunny. Next week: Dustin and I arrive at the State Dinner.

Legal Notices IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF WASHINGTON COUNTY OF KITSAP In the Matter of the Estate of: EDWARD J. KESTLER, Deceased. NO. 14 4 00027 7 PROBATE NOTICE TO CREDITORS RCW 11.40.030 The administrator
aides gave us French and American flags before we exited onto the South Lawn, and back out in the cold, for the official ceremony. It was a sea of flags, pageantry, uniforms, honor guards, and the always impressive Marine Band, led by Drum Major Master Gunnery Sgt. William Browne. Despite our military family history, the boys had never seen such a display. They hardly noticed that we waited nearly 45 minutes in the bitter cold for the ceremony to begin. And yes, the boys saw our president and the French president, as well as the First Lady and many other dignitaries, but what might have been the most educational of all for them was the young Marine standing in formation who fainted within 10 feet of us. This happens more often than people might expect if a soldier locks his knees. What is exceptional, however, is how much pride

Man fails to register as offender David Joshua Lee Darby who was convicted in King County for rape of a child, three and communicating with a minor for immoral purposes. The last time Darby completed an address form was between July 2010 and January 2014. After that, he picked up items from his ex-girlfriend’s house and used her address as his location. His ex-girlfriend told authorities Darby had not been living with her. His whereabouts are currently unknown, and the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office has requested an arrest warrant for failure to register. Under Washington law, sex offenders must provide an address to the Sheriff ’s Office in the area of which they reside any time the address changes.
Man steals to support meth habit
On Feb. 10, Kitsap County Sheriff ’s deputies responded to a theft at Target in Silverdale. Loss prevention was in the process of detaining an angry shoplifter when a deputy arrived. The suspect — a 24-year-old Belfair man — admitted he had tried to shoplift a few things so he “could get drugs later,” stated the KCSO report. Video footage showed the man arriving in a white Malibu and “canvassing” the store with another man. The other male could not be located, and the suspect would not give up any information. The man pulled a pair of sunglasses and a memory card out of his underwear, valued $61.98. He orally acknowledged the theft and was advised he was “criminally trespassed” from all Target stores for the next two years. The man admitted he steals items to exchange for a small amount of meth. While on the way to jail, the man said he didn’t know anything about the car that transported him to the store, only that it was “borrowed.” The car had been stolen out of Mason County from a house known for its drug activity. The Belfair man was booked for second degree robbery. His bail was set at $20,000.
Joyrider drives across golf course
Around 2 a.m. on Feb. 9, Central Kitsap resident Kyle Eric Punt decided to take a drive on the snowy 10th fairway of Kitsap County Golf & Country Club. As deputies approached the vehicle, they noted two men reclined in their seats. Punt admitted that he was driving on the course, and told deputies, “We’re just having fun, and I’m a local,” states a KCSO report. Punt also admitted to drinking and driving the car. After deciding that the snow was unsafe to perform tests on, the deputy offered for Punt to use a breathalyzer. After changing his mind a few times, he finally decided to take it and blew a .163 reading. Punt was booked into Kitsap County Jail, and bail was set at $25,000.

what’s up this week Willy Wonka continues on the CSTOCK stage in Silverdale
T
he Central Stage Theatre of County Kitsap debuted its production of “Willy Wonka” last week, and so far, audiences have been pleased. “The first weekend was outstanding,” said Trina Williamson, director of the play. “We had near sell-out crowds all weekend.” Williamson said cast and crew have been receiving steady compliments for the
show, some saying it’s the best show the theater has put on in recent years. “The Sunday performance was filled with so many young people and I haven’t seen that in some time,” Williamson said. “Of course, this being ‘Willy Wonka,’ I knew that families would want to bring their children but I was amazed at the numbers of children I saw in the house that evening.”
And families are the niche audience for the production of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s story. The story has gone onto the big screen twice and graced the stage since “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” was released in 1964. “Roald Dahl was known as a children’s author and the original movie was definitely geared toward children, but I think the story is meant to be See Wonka, Page 22

But while attention to the art competition has grown, the show this year features less work than in past shows. “The 2014 CVG Show has fewer artworks by fewer artists than any previous show,” Newberg said. “It also has more cases of the juror selecting more than one artwork by the same artist than ever before.” Newberg said that the instructions to the juror each year are very general, with the aim to select the best possible show from submitted items. The autonomy of the juror is honored during this process. “Royal Anguish,” by Juan Rodriguez of Bremerton, won first “We pointed out the place for two-dimensional art.

and efforts to name a Bremerton park after civil rights leader Lillian A. Walker. She is also involved in the Central Kitsap School District as a mentor and as a diversity and facilities committee member. Hill was the first AfricanAmerican female to run for the Central Kitsap School Board in more than a decade.
Hill is in favor of naming the downtown Bremerton Library after the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. That fact was incorrect in the Feb. 14 Kitsap Week article, “Honoring AfricanAmericans.” n The Kitsap County Historical Society provided the photos used in the story “Once upon a time in Silverdale,” in the Feb. 14 Kitsap Week.

Bridal show prepares brides for their wedding day BY SERAINE PAGE SPAGE@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
You’ve got the ring. Now it is time to start planning for the big day. There’s no better way to get an idea of how to plan a wedding than to attend a large wedding expo. From f lowers to dresses, brides will have access to all the wedding day essentials to touch, see and taste all in one spot. The Kitsap Wedding Expo is the largest wedding planning event in Kitsap County under one roof, and in its second year, it has grown, said Sunny Saunders, Kitsap Wedding Expo event producer. “This is the largest expo that we have on the peninsula,” she said. “(We have) everything to get you ready for the big day and after.” First things first, a bride must choose what venue is best for the wedding day. Without a location, planning the rest is a bit difficult. Washington State Parks representatives will be available to give information on local parks that are also wedding venues. “You can’t hire anybody else unless you know when and where it’s going to be,” Saunders said. Sixty vendors will be available to offer ser-
vices to brides, including caterers, venue representatives, DJs and photographers. Attendees will receive a complimentary bag and will be able to enter various raffles for prizes. Vendors are from as far away as Shoreline and Puyallup. Some vendors will offer sample services such as hair styling and makeup tips. The highlight of the day will be the fashion show, Saunders said. American Rose Bridal is sponsoring the show for attendees to see everything from bridesmaid dresses to mother-of-the bride dresses. Jewelry and menswear will also be featured during the 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. shows. “They’ll have a big booth at the show so people can actually shop while they’re there for the small items,” Saunders said of the fashion show sponsor. Last year, more than 800 guests attended the event. This year, the event will host more than 1,200 brides seeking out much-needed services. As for why brides flock to the Kitsap Peninsula, the answer is as easy as saying yes to the popped question. “This is one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. to get married, and

The show will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 22. Admission is $6 for attendees 17 and older. Military, military dependents and seniors (60+ older) will pay $5 for

A wedding planner’s advice to grooms BY KEVAN MOORE
KMOORE@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
Lauren Lomax has been involved in wedding planning for about four years and estimates she’s played a behind-the-scenes role in some 200 or so weddings. Lomax previously worked at two wedding venues in North Carolina where she
managed sales and event coordination before starting at the Kitsap Conference Center in May. Lomax says it’s her job to “make sure the bride gets what she’s always dreamed of.” To that end, I asked her what kind of advice she’s likely to give to grooms. “That’s an interesting

question because there are so many types of grooms out there,” Lomax said. “There’s ones that are just as involved as the bride and others that are like, ‘It’s your special day.’” Any groom, though, can take a play out of Lomax’s playbook, and do whatever he can to support his future wife.
“I think it’s really about the support (they can offer),” Lomax said. “I don’t like to skimp out on the importance of the groom. You always have to respect everyone that’s involved in the decision making process, but for the groom, it’s all about that support because it’s going to get hectic and you just have to be there.”

There is one formula, though, that seems to work best in Lomax’s experience. “I always say that the happiest brides that have enjoyed the planning process the most, have had their groom with them every step of the way, (with) all of the decisions,” she said. “Whether it be folding origami or working on the guest list, it’s all of those little things that really builds it up as their special day. I always tell the bride and the groom, ‘This is your special day together.’ There are a lot of factors that go into that. You have to look at your guest list. You have the influence of your parents and your grandparents, but this is your special day.” One person, apart from the bride herself, that a groom should never overlook, is his future mother-

in-law. “It is the girl’s day and the mother of the bride is such an important factor in that, too,” Lomax said. “It’s something (moms have) kind of dreamed about their whole life as well.” Lomax couldn’t think of any real horror stories involving grooms, but that doesn’t mean everybody at every party has been on their best behavior. “I’ve been lucky,” she said. “I’ve always had really good grooms. I’ve had some crazy best men that I’ve had to reel in some, though.” Lomax and the rest of the staff at the Kitsap Conference Center are happy to help any bride and groom that comes their way.

Hot wedding trends for 2014
Contributed photo
The wedding day takes a lot of planning and preparation. But every bride and groom can celebrate their union with family and friends once the vows are exchanged. Traditional rice throwing is often replaced with confetti which is safer for birds. BY JESSICA GINET JGINET@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
When it comes to planning a wedding, there’s a lot to think about. There’s the dress, the theme, the color palette, the flowers, and the venue’s location. Wedding styles can range from classic to modern, offbeat to rustic and vintage. Styles can also change depending on the season and location. Many engaged couples strive for a unique and personalized wedding that accurately reflects their budget and taste.
THE DRESS Hot wedding dress colors are a departure from the standard white or ivory. Shades of blush, pink and coral are extremely popular wedding gown colors. Vera Wang’s 2014 bridal collection featured only pink and coral dresses with nary a white
dress in sight. Also popular are vintagelooking wedding dresses with intricate beading and skirts in organza or tulle. Delicate dresses with cap sleeves, reminiscent of the Great Gatsby, are also extremely popular. “The trend in dresses is less formal,” said Lyanne White of American Rose Bridal in Poulsbo. “Brides are getting away from satin and choosing more chiffon and flowing fabrics.” J. Crew now offers a unique twist on the wedding dress concept with a wedding jumpsuit. The piece features fabric covered in a delicate ‘eyelash lace’ with a plunging neckline and delicate bows trailing down the back.
THE COLORS Wedding and reception locations influence the style and colors used by the wedding party. Popular colors for 2014 are visually delicious
shades of coral, peach, pink, turquoise, gray and even navy blue.
THE VENUE There are several extremely popular and lovely wedding venue locations in Kitsap County. One of the most popular is in Port Gamble. Many outdoor weddings are held at the Hood Canal Vista Pavilion in Port Gamble, with views overlooking picturesque Hood Canal. Some couples decide to combine a church wedding at St. Paul’s Church in Port Gamble with an outdoor reception following the ceremony at the pavilion. According to Julie McAfee of Port Gamble Weddings and Events, the site is usually booked out one year in advance. “Lots of people come from the Seattle and Edmonds area,” she said. “But it’s pretty much a mix of 50/50 with

local Kitsap residents and those from outside the area.” “Our brides and grooms always rave about their wedding day experience at Port Gamble,” said McAfee, who plans events at Port Gamble. “This is a very special place to celebrate a special day and create memories that last a lifetime.” At Port Gamble, wedding ceremonies often are conducted at the historic St. Paul’s Church. Built in 1879 and meticulously restored, the church overlooks the waters of Port Gamble Bay. Receptions can be held at the church or at the nearby Hood Canal Vista Pavilion, a modern facility that can accommodate large indoor celebrations, or on the grassy lawns outside the pavilion with sweeping views of Hood Canal. Bridal parties often make the short walk from the church to the pavilion so they

can enjoy the quaint beauty of Port Gamble, a restored mill town that is virtually surrounded by water and reflects the charm of a New England village. Another popular and picturesque venue location that offers both indoor and outdoor wedding options is located at the White Horse Golf Club in Kingston. Built by the Suquamish Tribe as an investment in the local community, the site offers an indoor ballroom as well as an outdoor ceremony lawn area by the newly built clubhouse. The clubhouse is a multipurpose facility featuring a full-service restaurant, meeting space and indoor/ outdoor wedding venue. At White Horse Golf Club, event coordinator Mario Calderon said their ultimate goal is to provide unforgettable weddings and flawlessly executed events. From the exquisite new clubhouse and elegant banquet facilities to the picturesque outdoor event space set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Cascade and Olympic Mountains, the White Horse Golf Club offers a one-ofa-kind setting for wedding ceremonies and receptions. “Our first wedding for 2014 is May 3,” Calderon said. “We’re very busy with weddings from May through September.” Calderon emphasized the all-inclusive aspect of the White Horse Golf Club as a perfect wedding location. “We have fantastic food. We do a brunch, dinner, whatever. We have amazing, lush scenery and we will do everything to make someone’s wedding magical.”
THE FLOWERS Popular floral arrangements include such items as rustic and organic greens as centerpieces, swags and topiaries. Popular flowers for bouquets and decor in 2014 are peonies and roses. Trends in floral arrangements and
centerpieces include incorporating personal family items into the pieces. Such items may include antique china, objects from the bride and groom’s childhoods and even pieces of fabric from the mother of the bride’s wedding dress wrapped around the bridal bouquet.
THE PHOTOS Local photographer Sarah Musson, owner of SnapShots, sees a trend in couples wanting their wedding photographs to be, as she said, “Out of the box, new and creative.” These photos are in addition to what Musson calls the “backbone photos - the typical pictures of the wedding party and the bride and groom.” Musson said 80 percent of her business is by word of mouth. “I work hard to customize to the clients needs and their budgets — and I’m fun,” Musson said.
THE CAKE Local bakeries draw from a wide variety of themes and designs for the perfect wedding cake. For 2014, cakes that feature a different shape for each tier are popular. White on white tiered cakes with each layer featuring its own piping pattern is also simple, beautiful and intricate at the same time. Cakes that feature monograms of the couple’s initials are extremely popular. Trends in ombre’ cake creations are also increasing in popularity. The color of the cake starts with a bold shade at the base that gradually fades throughout the middle and top layers. Other trends include fresh flowers, sugar flowers and bands of fondant around the base of each cake layer. And many couples are now choosing cupcakes creatively displayed in cupcake trees.

Tips for reducing wedding stress BY LESLI DULLUM-TUTTERROW, LMP,CC
I am no wedding expert, however having been a bride before I do have some personal experience with what brides-to-be endure. What I am good at is helping people identify their stress triggers, and then giving them tools to deal with managing their stress more effectively. And well, planning a wedding can appropriately be placed under the heading of “things that have the potential to be stressful.” Wedding planning can be so stressful for some that they opt to take the Nike route and “Just Do It” by eloping, or they simply wake up one day and decide to get hitched. Some realize it’s not worth the time and expense to create their dream wedding, and would rather use that money for a nice honeymoon or a down payment on a house. If you are one who has decided to pursue the traditional path of tying the knot, there are ways you can purposefully enter into the planning process to create more joy and less stress along the journey. Let’s examine the three most common things that tend to stress out most brides-to-be: Issues with money, parents, and conflicting desires between the soon-to-be spouses. Welcome to marriage. Wedding planning may prepare us for the stresses that we are likely to endure in marriage. (All the more reason to be proactive in dealing with your stress.) Here are some tips to

Money issues can be stressful when planning a wedding and a future. Couples may want to seek professional advice in order to set their financial goals and the wedding budgets. assist you in effectively managing each area. Money is a hot topic when it comes to weddings. The first thing to do when it comes to planning your wedding is to have a heart -to- heart with your fiancé. The sooner the two of you get on the same page early into the planning process the easier time you will have. It is important to do some research to familiarize yourself with what some of the major expenses are. Price wedding gowns, venues, caterers, photographers, flowers, musicians or DJs to begin to get a realistic perspective on what

these things cost and the wide range of options that are available. Once you have done the research, sit down with your fiancé to determine what the total budget will be, and decide whether or not you will enlist the financial help of parents. If parents will be involved, find out as early into the process as possible what their specific financial contribution will be. This is essential before any photographer, cake maker or DJ is hired. If it feels difficult to have that crucial conversation with parents or future inlaws, plan to talk to each set of parents as a couple.

Though it may feel awkward, explain that you both want to be fiscally responsible and you want this journey to be joyful (and not stressful) so you have both agreed to find out what the total financial picture is from the gate. They will appreciate that you are being responsible and taking charge of the process of planning your wedding in a meaningful way. Dealing with family: This is where it can get dicey in a hurry. Enter parent involvement and now we have more input, ideas, wishes and dreams to manage as well. While it is important to allow the closest relatives a voice, it is equally if not more important that the bride-to-be and the future husband’s needs are not quelled in the process. Ask questions to find out
what the mom(s) (or dads) have on their wish lists, but let them gently know that you have a vision for how you would like the big day to go if their desires conflict with yours. With that said, think about your negotiables. What small element of the wedding would you be willing to acquiesce to accommodate a parent’s wish? Perhaps they have a favorite florist, or they want to surprise you with the cake. Could you let go of that one thing that would allow them to feel special? This is where it is vital to have clarity between your negotiables and your non-negotiables. That alone will assist you in creating more joy and less stress. Remember, wedding life is full of compromise and negotiation. Your future spouse: Once you have done the research and corralled all the players, then sit down with your fiancé to determine what specific things are most important to each of you. Be honest and straightforward about both your vision and priorities. Very few weddings encompass “having it all,” so plan on asking questions, listening, sharing, and compromising. For example, some brides could care less if they get married in a tiny chapel, if they can have the dress of their dreams. Others are happy to skip an expensive reception in favor of something more casual, like a backyard barbecue or party. Keeping the wedding ceremony and reception simple not only reduces everyone’s stress, but it can often be quite lovely and more meaningful. Making decisions based on what is meaningful and truly important can help you to keep the main thing the main thing. Lastly, taking care of you during the process is essential. Here are three ways to reduce your stress and increase your efficiency in the process.
• Enlist the assistance of a wedding planner. If a wedding planner is not in the budget, at the very least purchase a wedding planning journal to help you stay on track and create a list of all that needs to be done. Then work backwards. Schedule a wedding task each week in order to minimize stress and enjoy the process. • Keep yourself in the best possible health. Be purposeful about eating well, staying hydrated and working out. Write these essentials down in a daily planner, or schedule them in your smart phone. Don’t skip meals or workouts to go cake tasting or scope out a venue. Work those tasks around the things that are important to keep you healthy; feeling and functioning optimally. • Learn to communicate well with your fiancé and extended family. You will need this skill both for wedding planning and well into the marriage. Men and women have different needs, and communicate differently. So take a class, read a book or engage in some premarital counseling. The wedding is a day, but the marriage is forever. To enjoy the fruits of your labor of all those days of planning, when the big day arrives, take comfort in knowing you have done your best. Will everything go off without a hitch? Possibly, but unlikely. Be prepared to relax, enjoy, and savor the moments. Bring your big smile, your breath mints and your sense of humor for those unexpected moments when things don’t quite go as planned.

Planning a wedding takes time and thought BY LESLIE KELLY LKELLY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
With just three months until the wedding, brideto-be Jaci Koziel is feeling as if she’s got it mostly under control. But planning for the big day began a year ago, right after she got engaged. “I’m sure I could be more organized,” Koziel said. “But I’m not nervous. I’m not that worried about it because everything doesn’t have to be perfect. I just want everyone to have a good time.” Koziel and her fiance Marc Harris, will be married on May 24. He proposed to her 14 months ago at home. “It took him a while to get the words out,” she said. “We were just at home and I thought he was wanting to say something. Then, he just asked me to marry him.” They’d been dating for more than two years at the time. They met while working together at The Toad House in Bremerton. With wedding plans to be made, Koziel and her mothers, sisters, aunt and a cousin attended the Seattle Wedding Show a month after getting engaged.
“That was overwhelming,” Koziel said. “There were so many vendors. I just walked around and I kept thinking ‘I can’t do this.’” Her suggestion to other brides is to write out a plan and know what things you want to look for before going to wedding shows. Soon, things began to fall in place, she said. First on her list was finding her dress. After looking at pictures online and in magazines and trying on several, she chose a white dress that is strap-
“l’m not worried because everything doesn’t have to be perfect.” – Jaci Koziel, bride-to-be less. “I was set on a sleeveless dress,” she said. “But I was open to suggestions. I ended up liking the strapless one better.” Their wedding will be at the Yangs Botanical Garden in Port Orchard. They are expecting 200 to 250 guests. Both families live nearby, his in Bremerton and hers in West Seattle. The wedding will be outdoors

with the reception inside. Invitations will go out six weeks prior to the date. Contrary to what wedding planners say, Koziel and Harris didn’t sit down and write out a budget for their wedding. “We talked about it and we decided the amount
we wanted to spend and what percent we wanted to spend on food, entertainment and the rest,” she said. When everything’s said and done, they think they’ll spend about $9,500. After her dress and the

venue, the couple next chose their entertainment. They decided on a DJ. It’s an afternoon wedding, followed by a reception, and then dancing. They chose blue and green as the colors for the event, with orange accents. “Blue and green are my favorites and orange is Marc’s,” she said. “We
went to Fred Meyer and Lowe’s and looked at the paint chip samples to find the shades that looked good together.” They chose to be married by a friend who is studying to become a minister. And they found their photographer, Samantha Panzera, through Perfect Partys in Port Orchard. Koziel decided to make the bridesmaid dresses herself. They are a vintage look with fuller skirts and a lace overlay. Among the things yet to be decided are choosing the suits the groomsmen will wear and a final decision — the caterer. “We’ve talked to several and done taste-testing,” she said. “Now we just have to decide.” As for the cake, there isn’t going to be one. “We’re doing pies and cheesecakes,” she said. “Neither Marc or I really like cake. Marc likes pies, and I like cheesecake. So that’s what we’re doing.” They plan to buy them at Costco and have a variety of both for guests to enjoy, she said. The honeymoon will be spent close by. “We’re just going to have a weekend close to home,” she said. “We’re going to save up and do a trip later, maybe to Europe or South America.” Koziel said she wasn’t really the kind of girl who thought about getting married when she was young. “I was more interested in running outside and climbing trees,” she said. “That’s made it easier because it’s okay if everything doesn’t go exactly as planned. I’m not so focused on having a dream wedding. I just want it to be a great day for everyone who is there.”

When it comes to wedding photography, the worst thing a bride and groom can do is pick someone who they can’t relate to. That’s the advice from Sarah Musson, owner of Snapshots Photography, and a wedding photographer for 11 years. “By the time the wedding day rolls around, I’m like family to my brides and grooms,” she said. “It’s gotta be that way.” That’s because brides and grooms need to be calm and relaxed around the photographer so that their natural
personalities come out in the photographs. Musson usually starts getting to know her couples by offering to take their engagement photo session as a gift for them. “I get to know their body language and I find out how comfortable they are in various settings, like if they are okay with kissing in front of people and the camera.” She’s even become such good friends with one couple that she’s their children’s God mother and she was called on to take the baby pictures. “I took their engagement photo and their wedding pictures and pictures of their son and daughter when they

were first born,” she said. “It started out as an assignment, but it grew into so much more. That’s the way it should be.” Her busiest times are July and August and those dates can book as far as nine months out. “I recommend that once the couple gets engaged, they begin looking for a photographer from nine to 12 months out from their wedding date,” she said. She also advises against contracting with any photographer that charges less than $1,000. “Anything under that and
pretty much that photographer doesn’t have the experience to take the good shots and make the couple happy with their photographs,” she said. Wedding photography can run the gamut, depending on how many copies of the photographs the wedding party needs. Some photographers offer package deals. But Musson said she prefers to have it open-ended so the couple can get just the number of prints they need. As a wedding photographer, times can be stressful, she said. “But I’m easy going and I

Musson said she knew she was going to be a photographer the moment she got her first camera. As a stayat-home mom, the career fits her because she can work weekends away from her kids and that’s when most weddings happen. “It’s just my passion,” she said of photography. “I love spending the best day of their lives with every couple I photograph.” She is well-acquainted with most of the wedding venues in Kitsap County and knows the best locations at them in which to pose the couple. “If it’s somewhere that I don’t know, I go and check it out ahead of time,” she said. “But I’ve been in the business so long that I know the venues and what they look like at various times of the year.” Taking wedding photographs outdoors remains

very popular, she said. And most couples want candids. “They like the ones of them jumping in the air,” she said. “Anything that gets away from things that look posed.” Still, most couples have traditional group portraits taken, as a way to record history, and for the parents. Musson said wedding photographs are important because once everything is over, the photos are the lasting memory for years. “It’s the one thing that remains,” she said. “That’s why picking a wedding photographer is such an important decision.” In her years, she’s never had a disaster. Back when she used a film camera, there were never any times when the film wasn’t loaded, or got lost or destroyed. She did have a wedding, however, where she was called into action to distract the bride and groom. “The caterer never showed up,” she said. “We didn’t want the bride and groom to know, so after the wedding I took them off to take more photos. We spent about 30 minutes doing all sorts of poses and candids. And then when we returned to the wedding, everybody had ordered pizza.” Contact Musson at 360908-4704 or email sarah@ snapshotsportraits.com.

KITSAP WEDDING EXPO
Friday, February 21, 2014
The Point-No Point Lighthouse is one of many places in Kitsap County for a honeymoon getaway that’s close to home. Many couples are choosing honeymoons near home and are saving up to take a longer vacation trip later to somewhere they’ve always wanted to see like Australia. Bed and Breakfasts are another option for the honeymoon as are luxury hotels.
Try a honeymoon close to home BY LESLIE KELLY
LKELLY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
Some people dream about a honeymoon in Hawaii. Others want a trip to Jamaica or maybe even Paris. But if you’re looking to stay a bit closer to home, there’s plenty of places right here in Kitsap County. Whether you’re more of a luxury hotel person, or would rather visit a quiet bed and breakfast, there’s many great spots nearby. Near Poulsbo, there’s the Manor Farm Inn. The farm includes 25 pastoral acres tucked within gentle, green rolling hills. A century old white farmhouse with covered porches offer newly married couples a step back in history. Inside the farmhouse, there’s guest rooms filled with country French pine antiques, cozy fire lit nooks and serenity. Located at 26069 Big Valley Road NE in Poulsbo, the farm is just a short drive from all points in Kitsap County. More information is available at information@manorfarminn.com or call 360779-4628. Another bed and breakfast option is the Bird’sEye View, at 8226 Kaster Dr. NE in Bremerton. Owners Jody and Darryl Smith describe their bed and breakfast as “casual elegance.” Located between Silverdale and Bremerton, the inn has three guest rooms, each with private baths. Suites are decorated with warmth and have private balconies. Each has a fireplace and a claw-foot tub. There is panoramic views of the Olympic Mountains and the house has wireless Internet,
just in case the bride and groom want to check in with family. Guests are welcome to use the library in the house. A delicious homemade breakfast is served in the dining room. And for the newly weds, there’s the availability of bubbles for the bath, flowers and candy. In Seabeck, brides and grooms can stay at the Willcox House at 2390 Tekiu Road NW. It has five guest rooms. Each room has different accommodations ranging from fireplaces, to jacuzzi tubs, to balconies with views of the Olympic Mountains. The house has a great room where guests can enjoy the piano, select movies to watch, or play pool. The house has Wi-Fi and a complimentary wine and cheese hour at 5 p.m. daily. Hot beverages are available in the pub and a complete breakfast is served each morning in the view dining room. Afterward, stroll the park-like grounds and enjoy the rhododendrons, azaleas and seasonal flowers. But the main event is dinner served at 6 p.m. daily. A three-course meal of regional cuisine with international touches and wine is offered from $32 to $37 per person. Room prices range from $180 to $260 a night. To find out more, go to www.willcoxhouse.com, or call 360-830-4492. Newly wedded couples can also try the Cedar Cove Inn, at 228 Seattle Ave., in Port Orchard. The historic 1909 inn is a place of comfort and relaxation for the justmarried couple. Views include the Olympic
Mountains and Sinclair Inlet where boats sail by almost daily. It’s a trip back in time to when Peter Nordby and his wife Anna, founders of Port Orchard and Kitsap Bank, built the home. Rooms are named for the family and the region, including the Nordby and the Cascade. There are private baths in each, some with claw foot tubs. The Nordby has french doors to a private deck and sitting area. The house has internet access and guests gather in the morning to enjoy a homemade breakfast and conversation. To find out more, go to www.cedarcoveinn.com, or call 360876-6196. Rooms range from $115 to $165 per night. The house is located close to town where visitors can enjoy art galleries, museums and antique shops. One of the favorite places in Kitsap County for many is the old mill town of Port Gamble. There are three guest houses in the town that would be just right for the couple who wants to have
a private honeymoon in an old time atmosphere. The Jamieson Suite is designed for two with one bedroom and bath. There are wonderful water views and quaint shops nearby to stroll through. The Port Gamble Store is a great place to eat and within walking distance from the guest houses. For more information, go to www.portgambleguesthouse.com. If something unique is what the bride and groom are after, why not stay at a light house? The Point No Point Lighthouse, built in 1872, can be rented for a night’s stay for $215. The lighthouse has a comfortable living room, formal dining room, a breakfast nook, full kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The unique location offers panoramic views of Puget Sound’s many islands, Mount Baker, the Seattle Skyline and Mount Rainier. It’s near a nature preserve and the couple may just get to enjoy seeing a bald eagle or two, water fowl, seals and other bird life.
Although it will be like taking a step back in history, movies and pizza are available on request. To find out more, go to w w w. p n p l i g h t h o u s e . com, or call 415-3627255. If staying in luxury is more your style, why not spend the honeymoon at the Clearwater Casino Resort? The resort offers rooms with water views, top luxury including the best beds and linens, and natural wood accents. There are a number of packages available that include daily visits to the Angeline spa for a massage or facial. There’s a pool and a hot tub and several restaurants to choose from. Additional offerings include trips to the nearby Suquamish Museum, and other Kitsap sites. In the summer months, sit on the green lawn and overlook
Agate Passage. Rates for various packages range from $150 to $400, and some include gift certificates for dinners at the casino restaurants. Of course, there’s the casino, too, if the couple wants to gamble with some of that wedding gift money they have with them. All the details are available at www.clearwatercasino.com, or call 360-598-8700. The casino is located at 15347 Suquamish Way NE, near the Agate Pass Bridge. A second option for those who prefer hotels, is the Silverdale Beach Hotel on Dyes Inlet in Silverdale. The hotel offers rooms with water views, spacious balconies, jetted tubs and fireplaces, and beautiful decor. Rooms have pillow top beds, LCD television, small refrigerators, microwaves, and internet access. There is a beachfront martini lounge at the hotel and an indoor pool. Room prices vary and more information can be found at www.silverdalebeachhotel.com.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

How do birds stay warm during the winter? W
hen the weather outside is frightful, and the fire inside delightful, do you wonder how your backyard birds are managing? You hope they are all snuggled down in their cozy beds while visions of suet dance in their heads. But unless they’re tucked away for the winter like celebrity groundhog Punxsutawney Phil, they have to venture out in the cold to find food. They need to replace the calories they burn to stay warm and well nourished. Like us, birds are warm-blooded, and need to maintain stable body temperatures to survive. For birds, that’s about 106 degrees Fahrenheit. Some birds, such as hummingbirds, can temporarily slow their metabolism and reach a state of torpor for short periods. This helps conserve core temperatures. People have reported seeing a hummingbird perched on their feeder that seems frozen and lifeless. I tell them these birds are probably just fine and will recover as soon temperatures warm up.
kitsap birding By GENE BULLOCK
I remind them, however, that hummingbirds learn to depend on feeders, especially during cold winter months when they have fewer options. And subfreezing days are no time to leave them in a lurch with frozen nectar. When temperatures plummet below freezing, keep an eye on feeders, keep them full, and swap them out when they get slushy and start to freeze. We bring ours in after dark and put them back up around daybreak. We also keep watch during the day. Birds have other strategies for staying warm. Chickadees, for example, can make themselves shiver to raise body temperatures. Marine birds, geese and other birds add an insulating layer of fat. Some birds, like the common eider, grow an extra layer of down that is prized for its insulating qualities. Chickadees and sparrows can fluff out their feathers and form into a ball with their bills and feet
A flicker, a type of woodpecker, is one backyard bird that can rely on suet cakes or other food to burn calories in order to warm up during the winter. Kathy Swartz tucked in. Shorebirds are sometimes seen standing on one leg with the other leg tucked in. This saves body heat by reducing the amount of exposed area. Of course, birds also huddle together in communal roosts to stay warm. I once watched a
flock of groove-billed Ani’s form themselves into a big ball of feathers that hung from a branch. I’ve seen noisy flocks of parrots tuck themselves into dense foliage and virtually disappear. In Monroe, bird watchers gather to witness the nightly return of roost-
ing Vaux’s swifts to a lone chimney structure. Why do some birds stay all winter while others leave for the tropics? Mortality can be high during migration. They face a variety of hazards, including predators, hunters, long stretches of open water,
and storms than can keep them pinned down and unable to feed themselves. I’ve watched storm-bound birds starve in the Dry Tortugas Islands off the coast of Florida and could do nothing to save them. Birds that stick around also have a competitive advantage in maintaining a year-round territory. Their success for countless generations is proof that these survival strategies work. Let’s hope that man-made changes in habitat and environment don’t undo what it took evolution eons to accomplish. In the meantime, there is much you can do to give your backyard birds a helping hand. Suet cakes are a high-energy food source for woodpeckers, nuthatches and other birds. Black oil sunflower seeds are also a rich source of nutrition for a variety of birds, including chickadees, finches, pine siskins and many others. You can help birds survive the winter with well-stocked feeders. In return, they will reward you with an unending display of exuberant activity and vibrant color.
