The option of using a middle school model of education to help smooth the transition from elementary school to high school will be explored by the Central Kitsap School District in December and March. If adopted, the middle school model — sort of a half-elementary and halfhigh school type of experience — would replace the junior high school system currently in place. Once a decision is made on the model, the board will also look at the possibility of shifting sixth-grade students from elementary school to the middle school or junior high system. But for the time being, students will see no changes. “The school board is in an information-gathering stage right now,” said David Beil, Director of Community Relations at Central Kitsap School SEE SIXTH-GRADERS, A10

It wasn’t just about the headlines that Washington education has been making with the courts, it was also an honest, frank discussion about the state of Kitsap’s schools, and the battle to fund them. A crowd of nearly 50 people gathered at the Bremerton High School performance center on Sept. 17 to hear an overview of Washington Supreme Court developments — particularly the McCleary decision — which affects funding for all state K-12 public schools. The event, hosted by the Kitsap League of Women Voters featured Tom Ahearne with the law firm Foster Pepper. Ahearne was lead counsel in the case against the state. It was also an opportunity to hear from Kitsap’s five school district superintendents and discuss the challenges each district faces. “This is the good, the bad and the ugly about this process,” said Dr. Aaron Leavell, superintendent of the Bremerton School District. “In Bremerton, we saw an increase of $45 per student heading into this school year,” Leavell said as an example. “It’s a total of $225,000. It is wonderful and we appreciate it, but it’s not enough to cover the material costs that we are going to be faced with.” “When the state gave us a little more money, the bad news was that pension and benefits also increased so it was kind of a wash,” he said. Funding compounds other challenges, such as meeting reduced class size standards. “Heading into next year, if we fully carry out what the class size reduction is, we will be short nine classrooms in Bremerton alone,” Leavell said. “So that is a problem.” Bremerton’s funding woes were echoed down the panel of Kitsap superintendents which included Bainbridge Island’s Faith Chapel, South Kitsap’s Dr. Michelle Reid, Central Kitsap’s David McVicker, and North Kitsap’s Patty Page. “We don’t qualify for funding for full-day kindergarten,” Chapel said of the Bainbridge Island School District. “Full day kindergarten is

Central Kitsap schools have taken a bite into the new school year, and with it comes a few changes. Particularly to school meals. “It’s delicious,” said 9-year-old Sandra, of her lunch at John D. “Bud” Hawk Elementary at Jackson Park. Sandra, a fourth grader, munched through a chicken burger during lunch on Sept. 23. She liked the option, but accented it with ketchup. The barbecue sandwich is Sandra’s favorite food served in the lunchroom, though. After picking up her burger from the lunchroom window, Sandra migrated over to the salad bar, filled with juice, milk, fruits and vegetables. Sandra knows what she likes to pick out there. “Usually the fruit, any kind I like,” she said. Sandra leaves the vegetables alone, though, she notes with a disapproving frown.
Hawk Elementary is like other schools throughout the nation that have implemented new United States Department of Agriculture guidelines for school meals, ever since the passing of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. The act was championed by First Lady Michelle Obama, and aims to improve the nutritional standards of young students’ meals and fight health concerns for youth such as obesity. Salt, sugar, fats and other unhealthy ingredients have been lowered. Other items, such as fruits, vegetables, protein, and whole grains have been given priority. “We are in the third year of implementing those guidelines,” said Sam Blazer, food service director for the Central Kitsap School District. “Each year there has been progressively more things that we have to comply with.” “These are really the big changes,” he said. “We’ve always offered a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. What’s different now is the portion sizes for fruits and vegetables have increased. Students are now required to have a half-a-cup of fruits or vegetables in order for us to count the meal for reimbursement and to meet the guidelines.” When a school such as Hawk Elementary serves a meal that meets SEE SCHOOL LUNCH, A10

The Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office, the Bainbridge Island Police Department and the Suquamish Tribal Police Department are conducting a Take Back Day event to assist Kitsap residents with the proper disposal of unwanted medications. The take back, set to run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 27, is part of a national endeavor under the auspices of the U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

Prescription and OTC medications will be accepted. All solid medications and non-injectable liquids, ie: cough syrup / liquid Tylenol, etc., will be accepted.

Community briefs its elusive nest, and how the accidental discovery of the first nest in 1974 has helped protect our coastal forests and near shore waters where the murrelet lives. While unraveling many mysteries, Ruth found herself exploring larger questions: Why does this chunky little bird matter to us? Why and how we care about the murrelet? Do we have a moral obligation to save this bird? Ruth is on the Black Hills Audubon Conservation Program and a volunteer for the Nisqually Reach Aquatic Reserve and South Sound Pigeon Guillemot Breeding Survey.

The stories should also fit within the night’s theme, “SCHOOLED.” Prizes will go to the best storyteller and at least one member of the audience.
The Manette Saloon (21 and over) is in the heart of Manette’s business district. If you think you want to tell a story, or if you have any questions, email Steven@ thenarrativearts.com.

Chorale Director LeeAnne Campos will sing one of the lovely romances by Mikhail Glinka and one of the most devastating by Sergei Prokofiev. Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is among the greatest works for orchestra. These exquisite and bombastic musical portraits (The Hut of Baba Yaga, The Great Gate of Kiev, etc.) have been performed by orchestras, bands, jazz ensembles, and rock groups.

A no-brainer on gun control This fall, the people will lead where state and federal officials have not. Come Election Day, voters across Washington state will approve Initiative 594, a grassroots-led effort to require background checks on the sale of guns. The measure will close the “gun show loophole,” as well as require those who want to buy or acquire guns over the Internet to obtain a background check, as well. The assessment that I-594 will pass is not a bold prediction. Instead, it’s an easy call given current views on our nation’s gun laws and the momentum that I-594 supporters continue to build. Supporters note that it’s relatively easy for convicted felons, domestic abusers and the seriously mentally ill to currently evade background checks and get firearms with no questions asked. Recent polls have found that support for the proposal has topped 70 percent. And organizers of the I-594 campaign have noted that financial support for the ballot measure has come from more than 7,100 supporters from 37 counties across the state. Background checks have a history of working. Supporters of the proposal point to the success of the federal background check system, which has stopped 40,976 gun sales to prohibited purchasers in Washington state since 1998. Momentum is growing for the “Yes on 594” campaign as recently released studies show the impact of background checks on all handgun sales. In the 16 states and Washington, D.C. that conduct background checks on all handgun sales, supporters of I-594 report that 39 percent fewer law enforcement officers are murdered with handguns and 38 percent fewer women are shot with handguns by intimate partners. And a recent analysis by Everytown for Gun Safety discovered that more than 4,000 guns are transferred to prohibited purchasers each year via five classified websites that sell guns without background checks. In Kitsap County, the investigation found, an estimated 2,433 gun ads are posted online each year by unlicensed sellers. Kitsap ranks fourth among all Washington counties by volume of unlicensed online gun sales, and the research indicates an estimated 240 guns are sold online to criminals in Kitsap County each year. This fall, Washington voters will make the wise choice to help keep firearms out of the hands of people who should not have them. It’s a move that’s long overdue.

Developer deserves due process from city A Sept. 10 letter signed by Bremerton City Council President Greg Wheeler and Mayor Patty Lent was sent to developer Ron Ragge, manager of Gold Mountain Capital, LLC. The entire letter was comprised of only three sentences that pushed citizen opposition and city disinterest in supporting the development of a casino at a location on Callow Avenue. Whatever the supposed good intentions by the council and the mayor were towards not wasting time and resources by either side for a project that faces considerable challenges at the federal, tribal and city code levels, was quickly lost by the wording, timing and unprecedented execution of this letter. A community sets a policy and creates codes that outline, guide and determine either by acceptance or denial the types of businesses allowed within its borders. Existing city code and policy determines at various times, their locations, footprints, layouts and the compliance or safety measures required for them to open their doors to the public. Codes and policy exist for transparency and accountability. It exists to create a level and equal opportunity playing field of common rules and conditions without personal bias or prejudice.
Everything Bremerton
Colleen Smidt Elected members of the city council are the stewards of the municipal policy and city codes. Legislation that changes, corrects, adds and/or subtracts to or from the policy is conducted and is legally required to occur in open, posted public meeting conditions, in full view, access and knowledge of the public. The elected stewards of the policy and code are by the very nature of their elected status a vulnerable and transient group that comes and goes. Their personal issues and agendas that influence their decisions or their interpretation of the rules also come and go with them. Municipal policy and code is the foundation and stability that can be relied upon
for consistency and fairness during all of the transitions of the elected stewards. Circumvention of or refusal to comply with the existing policy and code cracks the municipal foundation and closes the door on the fairness and consistency that has been so carefully crafted and put into place. I fully understand the concerns and desires of the surrounding neighborhoods in regards to the proposed project in question. With the extremely limited amount of information that has been made public, many of those concerns are also mine. However, the end does not justify the means and equal opportunity and due process exists for both sides of this issue. To single out a business for dismissal before that due process has been completed is a slippery slope. The letter of dismissal has sent a misleading message to the neighborhood involved and the community at large that the project has been stopped. It has not. The right of the developer to the current due process still exists and the ability for him to move forward within the existing process has not been legally impeded in any way by the vote of the council to generate and deliver the letter in question.
Your opinion counts... We encourage letters from the community. Please do not exceed 300 words and we ask that you include your full name and phone number for verification. Letters may be edited for publication. Fax: (360) 308-9363; email: editor@soundpublishing.com.
In November, Kitsap County voters will be asked to select a Kitsap County Commissioner. It is a very important decision and an important election. I encourage Kitsap voters to choose Ed Wolfe for Kitsap County Commissioner. Not just because Ed is a smart, experienced, accomplished individual, not just because he is an independent thinker, a small business person, someone with ambassador and national level experience. Not just because he is a moderate Republican, fiscal conservative and supported by Democrats, Independents and Republicans alike…but because our county governance is lacking balance. I am supporting Ed because I believe his election to the Kitsap County Commission will bring balance back to our county governance. I believe we need representation from all political influences. I believe we need a County Commissioner elected by the voters and not, once again, another political appointee. I urge you to vote Ed Wolfe for your next Kitsap County Commissioner. Coreen Haydock Johnson Port Orchard
It’s time for reform in government As voters you have an opportunity to elect in the 23 legislative district a seasoned and passionate candidate by the name of James Olsen. James is a long time resident of Kitsap County. He’s a family man, veteran, businessman and an active and dedicated individual within the community. His background is varied and has significant leadership qualities. He held six commanding officer positions throughout 30 years in the Coast Guard and retired as a full captain. He has gone on as a businessman providing low income housing and helping those in need. He believes in protecting the rights of citizens and prop-
erty no matter what their station in life. He has been very active in Poulsbo and Bainbridge island politics. Fighting against excessive abuses of power by the government and school district. He supported residents that felt shoreline taxing proposed on Bainbridge was too broad in scope. His activism forced local ports to readdress their taxing plan, limiting it to those that benefited directly. He understands funding education but would hope for a better definition and accountability. Without two conscience-minded Democrats joining forces with Republicans, state spending would be out of control. Legislative majority Democrats supporting Governor Inslee’s climate change agenda would increase state gas taxes an additional $1.25 a gallon. Is raising taxes the solution to out of control state spending? The real solution is voting in new fiscally conservative candidates to change the spending culture. James Olsen is pragmatic, energetic and supports real reform. We need him in the legislature. Vote for James Olsen. Dean H. Jenniges Bremerton
Dustin hosts dinner on his own Navy Wise
Sarah Smiley In 2012, my three sons and I hosted 52 weekly dinners to fill Dustin’s empty seat at the dinner table while he was on a yearlong deployment. In 2013, our story came out as the book “Dinner with the Smileys” (SITE: www. dinnerwiththesmileys.com). Last week, it was released in paperback. While I traveled the northeast for a book tour, Dustin stayed home with the boys, and together they hosted their own Dinner with the Smileys, this time to fill my empty seat. It was the first dinner without yours truly, and I felt like I was leaving an infant with the babysitter for the first time. How many times will I feel compelled to call home and check in? I wondered. Did I leave enough emergency contacts (like the pizza delivery man)? What if Dustin does it differently? And, most of all: Can Dinner with the Smileys survive without me? I grew more concerned when it was dinnertime and I received this text from Ford: “Mom, I don’t think Dad
understands how Dinner with the Smileys works.” When Dustin was deployed and we filled his seat, we were all about keeping things casual. I gave Senator Susan Collins a paper towel to put in her lap for a napkin. Dustin, who is well-trained in protocol through the military, would not have approved if he were there. Was he changing Dinner with the Smileys now that he was at the helm? Would my “baby” be different when I got home? I did lose some sleep over this. What follows is Dustin’s account of the dinner, and then my reaction. Having watched “Dinner with the Smileys” from the outside, I thought I understood how Sarah and the boys did it. Still, I wasn’t crazy enough to volunteer myself as host. So Sarah did it for me, but the boys and I got to pick the guests: Chris Kilgour, CEO of C&L Aviation Group, and Brad Rand, our family dentist. As Sarah prepared for her week on the road, my situation became more real. “Don’t worry Dad, it’s not a big deal. We don’t even clean up the house,” Ford said. The idea of leaving the house in its after-school state felt strange to me. Even more pressing, however, was the issue of food. I staked my confidence in our crockpot and the Internet and decided to give chicken Parmesan a try. After recovering from a brief smoke alarm scare and some
panic-stricken moments that could have been avoided by reading the directions FIRST, I felt my preparations were coming together. The boys wore their play clothes, because that’s what Sarah said they could do, but I changed into a button-up shirt. Sarah had assured me that if I just relaxed and focused on being in the moment, everything would fall into place. She said the guests were coming for the conversation, not the food. Turns out, she was right. Right away, the boys noticed Chris’s Australian accent and everyone started asking questions: “Are there polar bears there?” Lindell asked. “Does it stay light all night?” No, that was Alaska Lindell was thinking of. “Do the toilets really flush in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere?” Chris nodded. Then he said light switches are ‘on the back of the wall,” too. I thought he was joking. Switches on the back of the wall? But that’s just the way Australians describe flipping switches down, instead of up, to turn on the lights. Brad shared facts about teeth, from the very technical (they are made primarily of hydroxylapatite) to the more practical (in at least one known case between teeth and an airplane, the airplane wins). Even though teeth seem hard, they are made of about 15-percent water.

The entire Q&A with Olsen and Drew Hansen can be read on our websites.) Q: How would you accomplish those priorities? Olsen: As a reform conservative, key emphasis on reforming Olympia governmental agencies. On looming issue of K-12 contempt-of-court ruling, I will call for a 2015 special session. Extremely complex issues chal-
lenge us in remedying current disparate K-12 funding options. I will work collaboratively with the Democrat legislators to develop the correct funding resolution. Additionally, education stakeholders, including school superintendents (279 districts) and teachers unions (WEA/NEA, SEIU) must be brought together to use 21st Century innovation and technology to eliminate performance failures (40 percent dropout rate, low test scores). Education is key to the future health and prosperity of

For the Coast Guard commandant, I was appointed coordinator of three 10-nation Pacific Rim Coast Guards conferences requiring diplomacy, tact, and sensitivity to competing interests. Attendees included Australia, Russia, China, Japan and Korea. Q: What experience do you have that makes you the most qualified for the position you seek? Olsen: As a reform conservative, I uniquely champion solving the systemic problems troubling our Washington government, i.e. K-12 funding, WSF/WSDOT/ DSHS failures. My goal: reform Olympia agencies using performance audits, innovation, and blood, sweat and tears.

I am the independent candidate, not a safe backbencher or lobbyist beneficiary. My sole allegiances: 23rd Legislative District’s 119,000 constituents and the Washington Constitution. I speak bluntly: oppose the income tax; support the two-thirds supermajority amendment; demand accountable limited government and call for help/jobs for our working and not-working classes. I have unbounded optimism and confidence that Washington State can attain serious reform and growth to the benefit of all. I alone in this race have the vision, passion, and drive to work for that noble goal.

Design studio settles into new downtown digs BY KEVAN MOORE KMOORE@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
Fingers Duke, a full service design studio, is settling in nicely in its new space on Fourth Street in downtown Bremerton. Being back in the downtown mix, though, is nothing new for the company which designs and produces T-shirts, logos, posters, business cards, websites and much more. Co-owner Derek Gress got in on the ground floor with the company back in 2010 when the studio was located at 705 Pacific Ave. Before long, Gress, Sam Enlow and Rufus Schell took over ownership of the firm. “I helped name the business and get it started,” Gress said. “It was all owned by another gentleman, but after about a year we both had different goals. Me and a couple of other investors decided to see if we could buy out the business.” From there, Fingers Duke moved into a space inside the mall in Silverdale where it stayed for about two years. The firm returned to Bremerton in May. “We accomplished everything we wanted to do and kind of outgrew the space in
the mall and needed to find a new place,” said Gress. The large Fourth Street space, with about 2,700 square feet on the ground floor alone, not to mention a basement and second floor, came at a good rental price. It also allowed Fingers Duke to get back in the middle of a vibrant downtown community. “There is great exposure and foot traffic which helps us get our name out there,” Gress said. That unique name, it turns out, stems from old Victorian slang. It is, in part, where the phrase “Put up your dukes” comes from. “We do a lot of hand done art and our screen printing is all manual,” Gress said. “It seemed to fit and is something that is unique enough that we had never really heard of before and didn’t see it being used. After about two hours, we couldn’t get it out of our heads, so we said, ‘What the heck, let’s give it a shot.’ It seems to be pretty successful because it gets stuck in everybody else’s head as well.” Gress grew up in Renton, but graduated from the Northwest College of Art and Design in Poulsbo
“There is not really anything to fall back on if we fail, so we work extra hard. While that’s kind of a challenge, I also think it’s extremely motivating and one of the reasons we’ve done so well.” – Derek Gress with a minor in visual communication and a double major in fine art and graphic design. While in school, Gress got more and more involved in the local art world. “After I graduated I wasn’t in any hurry to go back to Renton,” he said. “I was really digging it over here and the vibe of Kitsap County. Instead of specific little neighborhoods like there are in Seattle, the whole county has a sort of vibe to it.” Spearheading Fingers Duke wasn’t part of Gress’ original plan, but he’s happy with the way things have worked out. “Originally, while going to school, the idea was to get a job with some big firm,” he said. “I ended up doing a lot of freelance work while waiting

I really like the ability to work by myself or in small groups, interacting with clients and customers. It was always a long-term goal to have something of my own, I just didn’t expect it to happen this quickly.” Learning how to run a successful business is hard work, but it also has its rewards. “One of the best parts is kind of having a lot of freedom to do what we want,” said Gress. “We get to set a lot of our own hours. The work is also a lot
more rewarding knowing we accomplished something; especially when it involves meeting deadlines and pushing through to get things done.” There are also a lot of challenges. “It’s not necessarily something I’ve ever done before,” said Gress. “I had done design and screen printing, but I never had to deal with the administrative tasks and all of that fun stuff.” All of that extra “fun stuff ” is also a great motivator.
“It’s knowing that there is no room to slack off, because if we don’t get the jobs coming in and we’re not working hard, nothing happens,” said Gress. “There is not really anything to fall back on if we fail, so we work extra hard. While that’s kind of a challenge, I also think it’s extremely motivating and one of the reasons we’ve done so well.” Fingers Duke works with a diverse group of graphic designers, illustrators and artists on a wide variety
of branding projects. The company takes pride in working with customers to improve existing branding and marketing materials across a wide variety of mediums. The clothing line is printed in-house and designed by Pacific Northwest artists who maintain artistic rights and get a percentage of each sale.

Legal Notices Naval Base Kitsap Keyport Invites You to Participate in the Fourth 5-Year Review of Cleanup Actions June 2009 to June 2014 The Navy in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Washington State Department of Ecology is initiating the fourth 5-year review of environmental cleanup actions at Naval Base Kitsap Keyport and invites the public to participate in this process. The purpose of the 5-year review is to ensure that the cleanup actions (remedies) continue to be protective of human health and the environment. These cleanup actions were established in Records of Decision (RODs) prepared under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). The 5-year review is required under federal law because the cleanup actions have left some chemical contamination in place. Site Name, Location, and Address: Naval Undersea Warfare Center Keyport, Washington Lead Agency Conducting the Review: United States Navy BACKGROUND The Naval Undersea Warfare Center was added to the National Priorities List (NPL) in October 1989. The site is now referred to by the Navy as Naval Base Kitsap Keyport. Cleanup actions have been conducted at several areas within Naval Base Kitsap Keyport within Operable Units (OUs) 1 and 2 where environmental contamination was identified in the past. OU 1 consists of Area 1 (the former base landfill), and OU 2 consists of the remaining areas of concerns (Areas 2, 3, 5, 8, and 9). These sites have undergone environmental investigation and/or remediation to address the potential impacts of contamination to human health and the environment. Based on this work, Areas 3, 5, and 9 have been issued “No Further Action” determinations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The remedy for Area 1, OU 1 consists of treating volatile organic compound (VOC) hot spots in the landfill by phytoremediation using poplar trees; removing PCB-contaminated sediments; upgrading the tide gate and landfill cover; implementing institutional controls; and conducting long-term monitoring. The selected remedy for Area 2, OU 2 consists of institutional controls and groundwater monitoring.
The selected remedy for Area 8, OU 2 includes removal and off-site disposal of impacted soil above the groundwater table, implementing institutional controls, and long-term monitoring of groundwater, sediment, and marine biota. An initial statutory 5-year review was finalized in 2000, and subsequent 5-year reviews were finalized in 2005 and 2009. Site-specific information and links to documents such as records of decisions are available on the EPA website at the following website: http://cumulis.epa.gov/ supercpad/cursites/ csitinfo.cfm?id= 1001102 YOU ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROCESS The Navy welcomes your participation in the 5-year review process. You may participate by submitting your comments or concerns about these environmental cleanup actions at Naval Base Kitsap Keyport by mail, telephone, or email. Pointof-contact information is provided below. The draft fourth 5-year review document will be available for review at the Kitsap Regional Library at 1301 Sylvan Way, Bremerton in May 2015. A Notice of Availability will be published at that time in the Central Kitsap Reporter.

“My fondest memories of my childhood are of attending various community civil rights events,” she said. “I remember being so proud to make my mark on history, just like Dr. Martin Luther King did. It is important to remember that Dr. King’s dream was really about equality for all.” Samspon said when she thinks about equality, she thinks about diversity.

Bremerton alone,” Leavell said. “So that is a problem.” Bremerton’s funding woes were echoed down the panel of Kitsap superintendents which included Bainbridge Island’s Faith Chapel, South Kitsap’s Dr. Michelle Reid, Central Kitsap’s David McVicker, and North Kitsap’s Patty Page. “We don’t qualify for funding for full-day kindergarten,”

Miceala Thomas, a fourth-generation Bremerton native and Seventh Street homeowner, spoke out against re-naming the street she calls home. “I would love to see a street named for Dr. King, but sadly I’m opposed to the name change because from the bottom of my heart, I don’t believe that Seventh Street is worthy of carrying such a name,” she said. “It’s such a powerful and important legacy to carry. And when you think of the activity –– the drugs, the impoverished look
of the street itself, the crime and types of foot traffic we have walking up and down the street –– I don’t feel that that would be honoring Dr. King.” Thomas said efforts should be made to improve the neighborhood before the street’s name changes. “If we’re going to do this, I believe we should put our best foot forward and actually make the name change an honor to Dr. King rather than potentially taking a forgotten about street and slapping such a wonderful man’s name on it,” she said.
Some residents had also hoped to see a larger stretch of street, in a more visible thoroughfare, re-named to honor the civil rights hero. Allison Laurez, a Warren Avenue resident of several years, said she and her husband have lived in Tacoma and Seattle near streets honoring Dr. King, and would have liked to see a more prominent street name change in Bremerton. “We’re not real impressed with the two blocks,” said Laurez. “To me, naming a
Chapel said of the Bainbridge Island School District. “Full day kindergarten is very popular on the island, but it is tuition based. Most of our parents choose that. We only run one half-day kindergarten class in the district.” Chapel noted that the district received approximately $1 million of additional funding over the past two years, but it still hasn’t made up for the gap. She cited transportation as an example. “We are considered fully funded for transportation, but 25 percent of the cost of
transportation is being funded locally,” she said. “So the state’s full funding is only 75 percent.” While the night ended with discussions on the local lack of educational funding, the main topic was the McCleary decision, which is expected to raise funding to the state’s K-12 schools over the next few years. What has become known as the “McCleary decision” stems from a 2007 lawsuit that worked its way up to the Washington Supreme Court. Matthew and Stephanie
McCleary, and Robert and Patty Venema alleged that the state wasn’t meeting its constitutional duty to fund K-12 education in the state. Washington’s constitution sates “It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders without distinction or preference on account of race, color, See caste or more on our sex.”

with a handheld clicker said she grew concerned when the count on the device reached 800. She asked a co-worker what the boat’s capacity was and he allegedly told her, “Not sure, 1,200 or 1,600” and then told her not to worry about it because the captain is “cool.” The boat departed prior to a headcount being completed, which is apparently routine. When the worker counting walk-on passengers conferred with a worker counting vehicle passengers conferred, they arrived at 1,684 passengers. That information was relayed
to the captain, who asked if the workers’ count was accurate. When he was told it was thought to be accurate, he returned the boat to the Bremerton dock. “The passenger attendant counting walk-on passengers believed 1,461 passengers walked onto the Cathlamet,” Dowler wrote in his report. “This combined with the count of 223 passengers boarding the ferry via vehicles brought
the total passenger count to 1,684.” Dowler said video evidence showed that wasn’t true. The worker counting passengers said she believes the clicker “jumped numbers” when she was counting passengers. She said malfunctions had happened before and the device has skipped. A WSF supervisor confirmed that he had heard reports about faulty

“What is Bremerton doing to embrace diversity and the ongoing movement for change?” she asked. “The renaming of this street is a major stepping stone towards the ongoing movement and the ongoing efforts of those who have already paved the way in the civil rights movement. For once, the community of Bremerton can work together towards a common goal and honor a symbolic part of American history. We must keep the dream alive.” But not everyone supported the name change.

very short, basically residential area for Dr. King is trivializing him rather than honoring him. I would like to see a street of more significance that says the city truly does recognize Dr. King’s contribution to all of our lives.” Karen Vargas, an Army veteran and Bainbridge Island resident, was one of the driving forces behind the name change.

DNR set to remove creosote pilings in Kitsap Cleanup project slated to run through Nov., remove 18 tons The Washington State Department of Natural Resources will launch a major cleanup next week of creosote-saturated pilings and debris along the Puget Sound shores of Kitsap County. About 245 piles and 18 tons of debris will be removed from eight sites located along the eastern Kitsap Peninsula shoreline. The cleanup is part of a larger DNR effort throughout Puget Sound to remove creosote-treated debris from the state’s marine and estuarine waters. Projects include removing debris that washes onto area beaches, lagoons, and estuaries, as well as removing structures and pilings that are no longer functional. DNR has contracted Blackwater Marine of Kirkland to remove and dispose of the Kitsap County pilings and debris. The project is expected to begin September 29 and continue through Nov. 7.
Work will begin at the northern Point No Point water access site, move to Norwegian Point Park, and then continue south. Creosote removal locations include: Port of Tracyton, Port of Silverdale, Norwegian Point Park, Point No Point water access site,
Liberty Bay, Sandy Hook, Old Mill Park and Bolin Point. Creosote has been used as a wood preservative for more than a century to treat telephone poles, railroad ties, piers, docks, floats and more. Thousands of derelict creosote pilings remain in Puget Sound.

Eight waterfront areas in Kitsap County will have pilings removed.

“Most of us take hearing loss as a part of getting older, or we think, ‘I can live with it.’ We frequently hear the phrase ‘quality of life,’ but most of us don’t really relate to its importance until a significant occurrence happens. I suffer from hearing loss. In the past, I did not fully realize the impact of hearing loss on my wife, family, and friends. Often times I would be nodding or just responding ‘OK,’ without fully understanding the conversation. My wife often had to repeat herself several times for me to understand. Sometimes I still have difficulty hearing all the items on the honey-do list.

Many eventually break up and distribute tons of toxic debris onto beaches throughout the Sound that can be harmful to marine species. The Washington State Department of Natural Resources works with partners in local groups, governments, and private property owners to remove treated wood located on public and private property throughout Puget Sound. DNR and partner agencies — including
the state departments of Fish and Wildlife and Ecology — developed best management practices that minimize disturbances to the environment when removing the creosote saturated materials. The goal is to provide healthy, rather than contaminated, habitat. The removal of creosote from the environment is essential to preventing long-term negative effects from these materials persisting in the food web. Since 2004, according
to DNR, 16,000 tons of pilings and derelict beach debris and more than 250,000 square feet of overwater structures have been removed from Puget Sound shorelines. The Puget Sound Initiative, Washington Department of Ecology, National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and others have provided project funding. The new goal is to remove 1,000 more treated piles by 2017.

Officials hope to break ground on the Marvin Williams Youth Development and Birkenfeld Economic Development Center in Novemberr at the corner of Park and Eighth Street. Robertson is the president of New Life CDA and lead pastor at Emmanuel Apostolic. The project has been under development for just over two years and has nearly reached its fundraising goal to break ground late this fall. “The C. Keith Birkenfeld Fund of the Seattle Foundation was inspired to give to the Marvin Williams Center because of it’s potential to improve lives today and well into the future,” said fund director Claire
Bishop. “Mar vin Williams, outstanding athlete, and Keith Birkenfeld, philanthropist, are both hometown heroes. And the new centers offers ample evidence of this powerful combination. Once completed, families from throughout Kitsap County will find services and programs to make their lives even better.” Bremerton Mayor Patty Lent is also excited about the project. “The project will create a community meet-

A second softball field at Pendergast Regional Park now has brand new drainage. Bremerton Parks Direc tor Wyn Birkenthal says city memos from two decades ago show
that drainage for the fields was “a value engineering casualty.” “Almost 20 years later, we’re remedying it and the baseball and softball players will benefit,” Birkenthal said. The new drainage was installed by Greenshield Systems,
a company that installs or retrofits drainage systems all across the state and region. “Ninety-five percent of the work we do is drainage on existing sports fields,” said Jeff Horan, one of the partners at Greenshield Systems.

A tour and dinner were slated for the evening of Friday, Sept. 19, to benefit the Marvin Williams Youth Development and Birkenfeld Economic Development Center. The centers are part of the $7.1 million project that includes two new facilities on one centralized campus along with welcoming outdoor spaces and ample parking to serve the West Bremerton community. The first facility is a 18,000 square foot, two-level community center with a gym, family activities and senior services designed to meet the health and wellness needs of the community. The second facility is an 11,000 square foot economic empowerment center designed to improve the community with vocational opportunities, and foster the success of future small business owners. “My career has taken me to many places, but the community of

From the editor
VSOs are working to get the ship on a steady course and of the outreach being conducted to make sure veterans in rural communities are included. (The fall 2014 “Stand Down for Veterans” in Kitsap is scheduled for Oct. 4, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Sheridan Park Community Center, 680 Lebo Blvd., in Bremerton.) VSOs talked about HR 3230 — the federal Veterans’ Access to Care through Choice, Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014 — that is designed to drastically improve the delivery of health care to veterans. Portions of the bill are creative and empowering. For example, Tribal veterans offices could process Native veterans for VA health care, to help speed the process. And VA would authorize and reimburse for care provided to Native veterans in Tribal health clinics, another change that would streamline and expedite the system of care due our veterans. Another VA representative talked about efforts to reduce backlogs and speed decisions on claims. VA is having some success: The claims backlog has been reduced by 40 percent and the inventory of overall claims has been reduced by 53 percent. The average time it takes to render a decision on a claim has been reduced from six to four months. “We’re the first to say we’re not there yet,” he said. And so the work continues. Thank you, VSOs and VA reps, for your ongoing efforts to get the ship on a steady course.

hen you were on active duty, you had your fellow soldier, sailor, airmen or Marine’s back, and they had yours. Now that your EOS has passed or you’ve retired, they still do. An army of veterans service officers, most of them veterans, are at work daily to ensure veterans’ needs are met so they can live healthy, productive lives. A Sept. 3 meeting of veterans service officers, at the Suquamish Tribe’s Kiana Lodge, gave a glimpse of some of the work being done behind the scenes. Specifically, this was a meeting of the VA Puget Sound Health Care System and the Joint American Indian Veterans Advisory Council. A VA representative told of “listening sessions” being held throughout the state — the latest one, as of this writing, was on Sept. 19 in Spokane — so “we can listen to our veterans” about their experiences navigating the VA health system. VSOs and VA reps talked about what they learned at Camp Chaparral at the Yakama Nation, Aug. 14-19. Camp Chaparral is a week-long cultural immersion experience designed to improve participants’ understanding of other cultures, and what those cultures can teach us about healing. According to the camp’s website, the Camp Chaparral experience “provides an ideal opportunity for participants to focus on the way veterans’ care or benefits are provided, not just how to provide it.” Camp Chaparral features traditional healing methods such as talking circles and sweat lodges. This year, women veterans outnumbered men for the first time. A VA representative said she learned how essential talking circles are, of how “cleansing and healthy” sweat lodges are.

OPINION IN OUR OPINION
Congratulations to our submarines and submariners “O
f all the branches of men in the forces there is none which shows more devotion and faces grimmer perils than the submariners.” That quote is widely attributed to Sir Winston Churchill, the great World War II prime minister of Great Britain. It sums up better than we could the dedication and commitment of those who patrol our seas from the depths. And so it is with great pride that we salute the United States Submarine Force for successfully completing its 4,000th nuclear deterrence patrol since the ballistic-missile submarine USS George Washington completed the first deterrent patrol in January 1960. Eight of the nation’s 14 ballistic missile submarines are based at Naval Base Kitsap – Bangor. Ballistic missile submarines patrol the Pacific and the Atlantic 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. “This operational tempo is one of the highest among any of the nation’s military forces,” writes LCDR Brian Badura, public affairs officer for Commander, Submarine Group Nine, in Silverdale. “... Strategic deterrence remains a cornerstone of U.S. national security policy in the 21st century, particularly in today’s turbulent global environment.” Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Bremerton, introduced a resolution honoring the sailors of the United States Submarine Force for successfully completing their 4,000th nuclear deterrence patrol. In honor of and gratitude to the sailors of the United States Submarine Force, we reprint the text of the resolution here: “Whereas the Sailors of the United States Submarine Force recently completed the 4,000th deterrent patrol of a ballistic missile submarine (SSBN); Whereas this milestone is significant for the Submarine Force, its crews and their families, the United States Navy, and the entire country; Whereas this milestone was reached through the combined efforts and impressive achievements of all of the submariners who have participated in such patrols since the first patrol of USS George Washington (SSBN 598) in 1960; Whereas, as a result of the dedication and commitment to excellence of the Sailors of the United States Submarine Force, ballistic missile submarines have always been ready and vigilant, reassuring United States allies and deterring anyone who might seek to do harm to the United States or United States allies; Whereas the national maritime strategy of the United States recognizes the critical need for strategic deterrence in today’s uncertain world; Whereas the true strength of the ballistic missile submarine lies in the extremely talented and motivated Sailors who have voluntarily chosen to serve in the submarine community; and Whereas the inherent stealth, unparalleled firepower, and nearly limitless endurance of the ballistic missile submarine provide a credible deterrence for any enemies that would seek to use force against the United States or United States allies: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), that Congress congratulates the Sailors of the United States Submarine Force upon the completion of 4,000 ballistic missile submarine deterrent patrols; and honors and thanks the crews of ballistic missile submarines and their devoted families for their continued dedication and sacrifice.”

Get to know American Legion Post 109 By DAVID PITTMAN Guest columnist
“S
ilverdale has an American Legion post? Where is it?” These are the two questions frequently asked of our members when the public sees one of our distinctive Legion blue caps. The answers are simple. The John D. “Bud” Hawk Post 109 has been in Silverdale since 2012 and we don’t have a post home, yet. We do, however, meet
monthly on the third Monday at 7 p.m. at All Star Lanes, 10710 Silverdale Way. Our post honors World War II veteran John D. “Bud” Hawk. Mr. Hawk was awarded the Medal of Honor and was a local educator and principal of Brownsville School. He passed away in November 2013. The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization on the four pillars of: a strong national security, veterans affairs,

Americanism, and youth programs. Focusing on service to veterans, servicemembers and communities, the Legion evolved from a group of war-weary veterans of World War I into one of the most influential nonprofit groups in the United States. Membership swiftly grew to more than 1 million, and local posts sprang up across the country. Today, membership stands at more than 2.3 million wartime veterans in 13,000 posts worldwide. The posts are organized into 55 departments: one each for the 50 states, along with the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico and the Philippines. In just over three years, Post 109 has expanded in membership to almost 70 members consisting of veterans who have served honorably for less than a year to more than 30 years. “Why should I become a member?” I feel you have at least three good reasons for membership, even if you don’t or can’t be active in the post. The first is the G.I. Bill. The American Legion wrote the original draft of the Veterans Readjustment Act, which became See SOUND OFF, Page 5

Post 109, while relatively new, embraces the Legion’s programs of Americanism; Children and Youth; National Security and Foreign Relations; Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation; and Community Service. We have been associated with Whaling Days and Veterans Day programs at local elementary schools
and community events. We have sponsored local high school juniors at Boys State. American Legion Boys State is among the most respected and selective educational programs of government instruction for U.S. high school students; it is a participatory program in which students become part of the operation of local, county and state government. Our post’s service officers have assisted veterans with service-related problems — typically with the VA system. You might have seen us with our poppies on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. The Poppy Program offers numerous benefits to veterans and to the community. The hospitalized veterans make the flowers. This enables them to earn a small
wage, supplementing their incomes. The physical and mental activity gives many therapeutic benefits. Donations are used totally and only to assist and support veterans and their families. The Poppy Program raises community awareness and respect for our veterans by educating the public about the symbol of the poppy, taken from a line in the poem “In Flanders Fields,” written on the battlefront during World War I by Lt. Col. John McCrae, M.D. The Ceremony for Disposal of Unserviceable Flags will be taking place later this year. The specifics will be posted on Facebook and in the local newspapers.

To understand the momentous significance of the decision to send two armed vessels to sea under the authority of the Continental Congress, consider the strategic situation in which it was made and the political struggle that lay behind it. Americans first took up arms in spring 1775 — not to sever their relationship with the king, but to defend their rights within the British Empire. By autumn 1775, the British North American colonies from Maine to Georgia were in open rebellion. Royal governments had been thrust out of many colonial capitals and revolutionary governments put in their places. The Continental Congress had assumed some of the responsibilities of a central government for the colonies, created a Continental Army, issued paper money for the support of the troops, and formed a committee to negotiate with foreign countries. Continental forces captured Fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain and launched an invasion

of Canada. In October 1775, the British held superiority at sea, from which they threatened to stop up the colonies’ trade and to wreak destruction on seaside settlements. In response, a few of the states had commissioned small fleets of their own for defense of local waters. Congress had not yet authorized privateering. Some in Congress worried about pushing the armed struggle too far, hoping that reconciliation with the mother country was still possible. Yet, a small coterie of men in Congress had been advocating a Continental Navy from the outset of armed hostilities. Foremost among these men was John Adams of Massachusetts. For months, he and a few others had been agitating in Congress for the establishment of an American fleet. They argued that a fleet would defend the seacoast towns, protect vital trade, retaliate against British raiders, and make it possible to seek out among neutral nations of the world the arms and stores that
would make resistance possible. Still, the establishment of a navy seemed too bold a move for some of the timid men in Congress. Some southerners agreed that a fleet would protect and secure the trade of New England but denied that it would that of the southern colonies. Most of the delegates did not consider the break with England as final and feared that a navy implied sovereignty and independence. Others thought a navy a hasty and foolish challenge to the mightiest fleet the world had seen. The See NAVY, Page 9

awareness for America’s Mighty Warriors, a service organization dedicated to supporting active military, the fallen, and their families. “The idea started out as a bucket list item,” said James, referring to the challenge of hiking over Anderson Pass along the Dosewallips and Quinault River trails. But after talking it over with his wife Stacey, a retired U.S Air Force veteran of 32 years, they both agreed they
should use the opportunity to raise awareness for a cause. “We could have done the jog-walk to honor any number of special dates, remembrances or Wounded Warrior-type programs,” James said, “however, we chose the America’s Mighty Warriors program because it seems to speak to them all.” According to www. americasmightywarriors. org, founder Debbie Lee established the service

Continued from page 8 everything they need and that the families they left behind are taken care of. It is the least we can do.” After choosing a cause and a few months of physical preparation and planning, the 60-year-old James and 37-year-old Schoener embarked Sept. 6, at 5:30 in the morning, on what they expected would be a 12- hour hike. Walking briskly west along the scenic Dosewallips trail in good weather, a support vehicle would meet them on the other side of Anderson Pass at Graves Creek Road. With a plan in place and resolve for the physical challenge ahead, there would be surprisingly little conversation along the way. “Putting one sure foot in front of the other to keep pace and avoid injury requires focus and concentration,” Schoener said. James added, “The ascent to Anderson Pass was a little more challenging than I expected. It was then that I began to worry things were slowing down and [whether] we could stay on schedule.”

Continued from page 7 most the pro-navy men could do was to get Congress to urge each colony to fit out armed vessels for the protection of their coasts and harbors. Then, on Oct. 3, Rhode Island’s delegates laid before Congress a bold resolution for the building and equipping of an American fleet, as soon as possible. When the motion came to the floor for debate, Samuel Chase of Maryland attacked it, saying it was “the maddest Idea in the World to think of building an American Fleet.” Even pro-navy members found the proposal too vague. It lacked specifics and no one could tell how much it would cost. If Congress was yet unwill-
Without cell phone coverage midway at the pass, both the hikers realized they might not be able to make the descent by nightfall. “Stick to plan,” James said, “and we’ll be OK.” After a 45-minute lunch break, it was time to make progress down the steep grade. At about 10 p.m. and well behind schedule, the pair agreed that fatigue and visibility had become a safety risk. Knowing that their support team knew to call the park ranger if they didn’t arrive by 9 p.m., the day trip became an overnight stay. Hot pizza for dinner would have to wait until breakfast. It was time to adapt and overcome with a quick camp on the trail, a small fire pit, and rest. Rising at 6:15 a.m., reinvigorated and with good daylight, the descent resumed quickly and the hikers safely arrived at their pick-up point along Graves Creek Road at 8 a.m., much to the relief of their support team, wife Stacey and friend Amanda. “It was a ‘high-five’ and a ‘job well done,’ ” Schoener said. “We were glad to be done and especially without any injuries. It was an
ing to embrace the idea of establishing a navy as a permanent measure, it could be tempted by short-term opportunities. Fortuitously, on Oct. 5, Congress received intelligence of two English brigs, unarmed and without convoy, laden with munitions, leaving England bound for Quebec. Congress immediately appointed a committee to consider how to take advantage of this opportunity. Its members were all New Englanders and all ardent supporters of a navy. They recommended first that the governments of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut be asked to dispatch armed vessels to lay in wait to intercept the munitions ships; next, they outlined a plan for the equipping by Congress of two armed vessels to cruise to

honor to support Jack and help bring awareness to the plight of our military who sacrifice so much. I am considering doing it again next year.” James said, “One of my first thoughts was how glad I was I didn’t have to drive. And I was ready
for cold pizza and hot coffee, but our challenge going over the pass wasn’t anything like the challenge our military faces in combat. America’s mighty warriors like Marc Lee established themselves as warriors along the long and rough road of life. May
God grant us grace to do the same in our own way and honor all of America’s Mighty Warriors.” Reflecting on the completed hike, Debbie Lee commented, “I am so grateful to each and every man and woman who has served, no matter what
the eastward to intercept any ships bearing supplies to the British army. Congress let this plan lie on the table until Oct. 13, when another fortuitous event occurred in favor of the naval movement. A letter from General Washington was read in Congress in which he reported that he had taken under his command, at Continental expense, three schooners to cruise off Massachusetts to intercept enemy supply ships. The commander in chief had preempted members of Congress reluctant to take the first step of fitting out warships under Continental authority. Since they already had armed vessels cruising in their name, it was not such a big step to approve two more. The committee’s proposal, now appearing eminently
reasonable to the reluctant members, was adopted. The Continental Navy grew into an important force. Within a few days, Congress established a Naval Committee charged with equipping a fleet. This committee directed the purchasing, outfitting, manning, and operations of the first ships of the new navy, drafted subsequent naval legislation, and prepared rules and regulations to govern the Continental Navy’s conduct and internal administration. Over the course of the War of Independence, the Continental Navy sent to sea more than fifty armed vessels of various types. The navy’s squadrons and cruisers seized enemy supplies and carried correspondence and diplomats to Europe, returning with needed munitions. They
took nearly 200 British vessels as prizes, some off the British Isles themselves, contributing to the demoralization of the enemy and forcing the British to divert warships to protect convoys and trade routes. In addition, the navy provoked diplomatic crises that helped

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.

Damsel
Continued from page 3 cases with female victims From January 2013 through September 2014. The number only reflects the total cases that the prosecutor pursued, and not the total number of cases forwarded to them by local law enforcement agencies. Some reports are sent to the prosecutor, but, for example, if the case is weak or difficult to prosecute, it won’t see a courtroom. Out of the 1,703 Kitsap cases with female victims, the bulk stems from domestic violence crimes. A total of 256 cases were assault charges, while 1,447 cases were for domestic violence ranging from domestic violence-assault, to domestic violence-stalking or domestic violence-unlawful imprisonment and others. The most prevalent domestic violence charge was for assault with 720, followed by cases that resulted from the violation of a court order — such as a restraining order — at 401. Deputies with the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office are the first called for crimes reported in the county, not including cities such as Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo. The sheriff’s office also doesn’t respond to reports in the county’s two tribal lands, Suquamish and Port Gamble S’Klallam. From January 2013 to September 2014, deputies were called to a total of 70

being able to defend yourself.”
Lines of defense
The products that Hern and other pros in the region sell are based around security and defense; from flashlights and personal alarms to pepper spray and stun guns. Damsel’s unique take on personal defense, however, removes much of the machismo commonly found in such products, and adds a little style in its place. Therefore, unlike a black matte finish apt for Batman’s utility belt, these products are more for those with feminine flare. “I have men that actually purchase these products, and many husbands support these products. But our market is women,” Hern said. “It’s like an accessory. It’s like if you get a new bracelet or something, it’s just there.” “They are made to be stylish, cute and comfortable so women want to carry them,” she said. “It’s kind of a conversation piece.” The stun guns, for example, come in three models: the “pack a
punch” which is a basic hand-held box; the “get a grip,” a more sleek, chic version; and the “striking distance,” a baton that puts a little more distance between a person and their attacker. Each are stunning, even when not in use, coming in colors such as pink, teal, lime or purple, and a more fashionable look. Even the wristlet — a cord that wraps around a person’s wrist and connects them to a stun gun — can be upgraded with more bling. The wristlet is important, Hern notes, because it is connected to a pin in the stun gun. If an attacker tries to take away the device, the pin will pull out and deactivate it, rendering the stun gun useless. There’s also a range of pepper sprays, boasting differing decor and uses. Damsel also sells the “Hot Lil’ Hand” a glove that holds pepper spray in a palm while walking or running. And there’s the “Sock It To Me,” a blunt striking/stabbing device that fits in the hand and on a key chain. But the lines don’t stop
at self defense. There’s the “Hermergency” line; a series of kits for tough times. The Junk in the Trunk kit, for example, includes jumper cables, drinking water, a first aid kit and more. There’s also the Stash on the Dash kit, containing first aid and hygiene items for on the go. Damsel also sells security items such as door alarms, personal alarms, child trackers and flashlights. Hern said that Damsel’s products stand out as an alternative to others that might not seem as attractive to women. “Before this company was started, a lot of fathers and mothers got nervous about their kids going to college,” she said. “They would give them a big, ugly pepper spray can that would never leave the room.” Damsel in Defense consultants, including Hern, can be found on the company’s website, www. damselindefense.net. The website lists two consultants in the Kitsap area, including Hern. Another is listed in Tacoma.

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. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx

While not everyone’s favorite topic, it may be one of the most important aspects of your home: the septic system. During this seminar, you will become better informed about how to how to take care of your septic system and what type of
typical maintenance it requires. Does your septic have a pump and alarm? Do you know what to do if the alarm sounds? Are you aware your septic needs to be inspected periodically? When did you have that done last? Does it matter what type of toilet paper, dish soap, or laundry soap you use? A septic system is, in fact a system. To keep it working correctly, every home owner not on public sewer should attend this seminar.

ou can see and feel the change of seasons. Fall color is starting to appear, pansies, mums and asters are in the garden center and your thoughts are turning to preparing your landscape for winter. Those in warm climates are switching to winter annuals, while those in colder regions are fortifying their landscapes for the cold winter ahead. No matter where you live, invest some time in preparing your landscape for the change in seasons. Dedicating some time now will pay off with healthier more beautiful plants next spring. n Continue to mow the lawn high as long as it continues to grow. There’s no need to cut it short unless that is the look you prefer. n Fertilize the grass with a low-nitrogen slow-release fertilizer like Milorganite (milorganite.com). Fall fertilization provides the greatest benefit to your lawn and gives you the best value for the time and money invested. Those in cooler regions growing bluegrass, fescue and perennial ryegrass should fertilize around Labor Day when temperatures start to cool. Then make a final application between Halloween and Thanksgiving before the ground freezes. Those in warmer cli-

mates growing centipede, Bermuda and zoysia should also fertilize around Labor Day. However, be sure to make the last fall application at least one month prior to the average first killing frost. n Shred leaves as they fall. Leave some on the lawn to add organic matter and nutrients to the soil. As long as you can see the grass blades through the shredded leaves your lawn will be fine. Use the rest of the shredded leaves in your compost pile, as mulch on top of the soil or as a soil amendment. Just dig a twoto three-inch layer into the top 12 inches of annual or new planting beds. These leaves will break down and add organic matter. By spring, the leaves will decompose and the garden bed will be ready to cultivate and plant. n Plant a few bulbs now for a colorful early spring display. Incorporate compost, aged manure or other organic matter into the planting area. Add a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer at
the time of planting. In general, plant bulbs two to three times their vertical diameter deep. Follow specific planting and spacing directions on the package or tag. Select animal-resistant bulbs to avoid squirrels digging up the bulbs and deer and rabbits eating the blooms. Daffodils, hyacinths, grape hyacinths and squills are a few to consider. Little Tommies (Crocus tommasinianus) tend to be more squirrel resistant than other crocus varieties. Those gardening in mild climates need low-chill bulbs that will thrive and flower after a mild winter. Or purchase precooled bulbs for winter planting and spring flowering. n Allow disease- and insect-free perennials to stand for winter. This will increase their winter hardiness and your enjoyment. The dried leaves, stems and seedheads provide beauty for you to enjoy, seeds for the birds and overwintering homes for many butterflies and beneficial insects. n Plant trees, shrubs and perennials. The soil is warm and the air is cool — perfect conditions for planting and establishing trees, shrubs and perennials. And for those lucky enough to garden in warm climates, add a few winter annuals. n Continue to water See FALL CARE, Page 7

became the wood of choice for the early water witches in the New England states. The European Hazelnut, Corylus avelana, no longer availed itself to the early colonists, and this newly encountered shrub not only appeared quite similar in foliage, but worked its water-detecting magic with commensurate ability. Later, a distillate of the sap of this shrub, Extract of Witch Hazel, became an economically important exudate of early American commerce. The genus Hamamelis is home to only four species worldwide, with two of these from North America. The Ozark Witch Hazel, Hamamelis vernalis, is similar in appearance to H. virginiana but with flowers that appear in spring rather than winter. (i.e., vernal, get it?). As with its more easterly cousin, the flowers are not particularly showy, however there are some exceptional forms of this species commercially available. H. vernalis ‘Sandra’ is a striking selection for its autumn foliage, which transitions to sensational colors in shades of burgundies, crimsons and golden yellows, held along upright stems which ultimately form a vase shaped shrub to 10 feet or slightly more. Japan and China are home to the two other recognized species. Hamamelis japonica might be considered the Asiatic counterpart to Hamamelis virginiana, though its blossoming time is decidedly See HINKLEY, Page 9

Hinkley
Continued from page 6 earlier in the season. The rather crinkled blossoms of sulphur-yellow are produced in late February and March, but I do not find it a particularly ornamental species, certainly not when compared to the Chinese Witch Hazel and the hybrids between the two. Far from lackluster is the Chinese species, Hamamelis mollis. The large and highly fragrant clusters of lemon yellow flowers are crowded along a graceful framework in late December through mid February. It will ultimately form a stately, multi-stemmed shrub with all the proper architectural lines that have propelled this species to classical status. Its only pitfall is an uneven approach to a timely dispatch of its leaves in autumn. Basically,
the genus as a whole has not fully learned how to properly undress itself in autumn and the Chinese Witch Hazel is no exception. There are superb selections based entirely on Hamamelis mollis as the parent and it is probably those that you will find most available for sale at local nurseries. Hamamelis mollis ‘Pallida’ is exceptional, with larger and paler flowers that are freely produced in early winter and the only one to consider growing if you only have room for one. I have by now spilled the beans on the hybrids between Hamamelis japonica and Hamamelis mollis, and it is these that best exemplify the remarkable variation that now exists within the ranks of this genus. There is available a plenitude of named cultivars in a color range of vibrant yellow through
rusty orange to rich red. It is too burdensome to consider listing the best, as they all seem the best, at least while they are in blossom. ‘Jelena’ has large flowers, very fragrant, in shades of a rich saffron broth, while ‘Sunburst’ dazzles with large, glowering flowers of broad-daylight-yellow. ‘Ruby Glow’ and ‘Diane’ offer deep red flowers. (Though resplendent in combination with yellow flowering cultivars, or yellow foliaged evergreens, the effects of the red flowering hybrid witch hazels will be swallowed by the shadows if they are not sited properly, i.e. between you and the low angled sun of winter.) Make a mental note that the autumn leaf color of the hybrids echoes the identical hues of their winter blossoms: reds are red, the oranges orange and the yellows will embla-
zon like that of a gilded torch in late October and November. Our local and superb garden centers offer a seductively large offering of high quality Witch Hazels waiting to be incorporated into your mixed border or foundation plantings. If you are tempted, may I offer a couple of suggestions in making a wise decision. n Buy them in blossom, which means going to the nurseries in January to early March (precisely when our local nurseries need your money!). You will have the opportunity to check out the color and fragrance before taking the plunge, WHILE being introduced to a full monty of other winter performers for sale, WHILE being pampered with personal attention (they may ask you in for hot toddies after hours).
Add appeal, save on your remodeling project Tips to make the most of your budget For those who wish to make updates to their home, the kitchen is a great place to begin. According to the 2013 cost vs. value report from Remodeling magazine, a minor kitchen remodel should recoup up to 75 percent of total remodeling dollars, based on the value of the home increasing. When focusing on this important part of the house, many homeowners are looking for ways to add luxurious and modern touches without breaking the bank. “Whether you want to splurge on cabinets, countertops, appliances or floors, homeowners are finding they really can have the kitchen they’ve always wanted by doing their research and learning about the many high-quality, yet cost-effective alternatives that exist in home

remodeling,” said Trisha Schmitt, vice president of VT Industries. GETTING MORE OUT OF YOUR DOLLARS From small fixes to bigger projects, VT Industries provides these ideas to make kitchen updates without emptying your pocketbook. n Countertops: Serving
as an integral piece of your kitchen space, the addition of new countertops can easily become the priciest part of the remodel project. Homeowners like the look of granite and real stone, but want a durable and affordable alternative that helps them achieve the look they desire with the budget they have.
As a new alternative for countertops, VT Industries recommends its Capture Collection, which mimics the beauty and strength of stone materials at a fraction of the cost. n Backsplash: To add a sleek and modern touch to your kitchen space, consider adding a new backsplash. Typically made from ceramic, glass or stainless steel tile, a
n The Witch Hazels are biologically obligated to grow as multistemmed shrubs, not as single-stemmed trees. Do not be tempted by a Witch Hazel that has been trained as a tree unless you are ready to wage war with its natural inclinations (it will win). n Plant them in full sun or very bright conditions. Autumn color and winter flowering will be more enhanced with more direct sun you provide. Any well-draining soil will suffice, however you will have to water regularly for the first two to three summers until they are fully established. n Though you will probably be unsuccessful in your search, at least inquire as to the availability of specimens growing on their own roots, i.e., those that are not grafted on the roots of Hamamelis virginiana. Grafted plants will result in
a continual need of yearly or bi-yearly removal of the growth from below ground level, referred to as suckering, from the rootstock. You will have to be religious at removing these spouts as they will quickly usurp what you have purchased. n Buy more than one. Every garden, by law, should have at least one Witch Hazel to carry you through the nadir of the winter doldrums. The best gardens, however, will have an entire collection. — Dan Hinkley gardens at Windcliff in Indianola with his partner, Robert Jones, and two dogs, Henri and Max. He currently directs Heronswood Garden for the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe, works as a consultant with Monrovia Growers, designs gardens and travels abroad yearly in search of new plants for American gardens.
backsplash is an affordable option for those who want to add an understated change or a small pop of color as an accent. When compared to other remodeling projects this one is quick and easy. n Hardware: Did you know you can refresh the look of your whole kitchen for as little as $50? If the hardware on your kitchen drawers or cabinets has an outdated appearance, invest in some of the new options available at your local hardware store. Change out old, brushed
stainless or gold knobs and pulls with the newer, on-trend styles offered in pewter or bronze. n Porcelain tile flooring: If you want the look of stone flooring without the hefty cost, check out the many offerings of porcelain tile. This sturdy, chip-resistant surface is easy on the wallet and can provide long-lasting beauty to your kitchen floors for many years.

hile providing quality service to its customers, Air Masters, Inc. is also giving back to the South Kitsap community. President Mark Timmerman said it’s important to give back because Air Masters is thankful and “we want to show it through our actions.” “We feel it only makes sense to express our gratitude in ways that are helpful to the most important members of our community — the children,” Timmerman said. “Without a properly supported, educated and loved generation of young people to come, our own livelihood and the comforts of our community that we so enjoy are at stake.” He said young people should know that business and entrepreneurship is not the enemy that is often portrayed. “It’s quite the opposite,” Timmerman said. “We look forward to a strong future for Kitsap, not because of our doing but because of all the people and organizations that give so much so often.” Lena Price, Air Masters sales marketing manager, said the company donated to several projects and programs this year. During the South Kitsap Back to School Celebration, Price said the company donated 10 fully stocked backpacks that were raffled at the celebration to raise more funds to support children’s school-supply needs. “We had a booth at the celebration and we handed out 2,000 South Kitsap Wolves football-shaped backpacks stocked with school supplies at our booth at the celebration,” she said. Price said the company has an ongoing food drive in the service department
Air Masters
to help support South Kitsap Helpline. The company offers each client a $25 discount on a repair call in exchange for a non-perishable food donation to benefit the food bank. “We have donated, from the generosity of the Air Masters clients, more than 2,500 pounds of food,” she noted. The company makes several donations annually to support the school’s sports teams in Kitsap and donates annually to support the Puget Sound Youth Swim Club.
Additionally, last Christmas it sponsored a child at Marcus Whitman Junior High School with a brand new bike and Furby toy through The Shepherds & The Angels Secret Santa Program. The Shepherds & the Angels is a non-profit that is instrumental in providing help to the community. Air Masters also sponsored the Lego Building Challenge Contest at the spring Home & Garden Show presented by the Home Builders’ Association. Air Masters donates annually to help
support the cost of Hidden Creek’s Youth Camp Colman. They also participate in and support local organizations: Chamber of Commerce, Home Builders’ Association, Repower Kitsap, Northwest Ductless, and trade allies of Puget Sound Energy, Cascade Natural Gas, Peninsula Light, and Mason County Public Utility District. In 2013, the company received praise from the Sunnyslope Improvement Association after two employees donated
and installed a new furnace in the Sunnyslope Community Hall. Also, the company’s employees are big Seahawk fans and show their support by decorating their office windows. Steve Krecker started Air Masters in 1986. The New York native moved to Kitsap County in 1977 when he was hired at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. Krecker’s company merged with Mark Air, which was owned by Timmerman. Timmerman became president in 2010 and ownership of the company is shared between him and his wife, Rosemarie, and Steve and Susan Krecker. “As owners and managers, we make a great team and love working together to solve all the challenges of growing a small business here in Kitsap County,” Timmerman said. Krecker added, “There’s no doubt about it. Our vision statement talks about being the best in the county to retain the best people. I believe that we do that.” Since merging, the duo has continued to provide quality heating and cooling installation, along with other service to its customers. Residential work could take as little as a cou-
ple of hours, while large commercial jobs can last several months. Krecker said he and his employees are not afraid of accepting challenging jobs. “I’ve always liked the challenge of thinking outside of the box and coming up with something new, different and innovative,” he said. “The people around me are like-minded.” Krecker said his employees are “good, reliable people and their hearts are in the right place” and the service and expertise that Air Masters provides is what “separates it from its competitors.” While prices range because the magnitude of each job varies, Price said the company offers “products to fit everyone’s budget so they can experience energy savings.” Timmerman said Air Masters is continually implementing new strategies for more growth and higher quality service. “We plan to be in the community for many years to come and have a staff that is capable of growing and changing with the ever moving landscape of technology and business practices,” he said. “We are a company that welcomes change and new ideas that improve the customer and employee experience.” Air Masters was named the “Best Heating and Air Company” in the Best of West Sound 2014. The company also earned an “A rating” from Angie’s List, Consumer Checkbook and the Better Business Bureau. In 2012, it earned the Angie’s List Super Service Award which is bestowed upon the top 5 percent of all companies rated on Angie’s List — a national provider for consumer business reviews. In the past, Air Masters has received top reviews from Checkbook and West Sound magazines.

Fall is a good time to check your emergency preparedness plan Americans who have recently endured a prolonged power outage at home are much more likely to improve their family’s emergency preparation for the future, according to a recent report. A 2014 survey conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of Briggs & Stratton found almost one in four U.S. adults had endured a power outage lasting 12 hours or more in the last two years. That experience motivated two-thirds of respondents to be more prepared for future incidents, according to the survey. “The high percentage of respondents who took action to better prepare their families and homes for future emergency situations really underscores the level of frustration a power outage can cause families who aren’t properly prepared,” said Amanda Grandy, with Briggs & Stratton. PLANNING AHEAD When you have advance warning of a potential loss of power, which is often caused by a strong weather system, there are many steps families can take to minimize the stress it can cause. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommends that you create an emergency preparedness plan with a checklist of items: n Make sure your gas tank is full n Fill plastic bags with water and place them in the freezer n Stop by the bank to ensure you have some cash on hand n Fill prescriptions that are approaching their refill date Disasters, however, don’t always come with prior notice, so having an emergency kit prepared ahead of time is the surest way to protect your family. Be sure to include items such as: n A three-day supply of non-perishable food n Adequate water (a gallon per person, per day) n First aid supplies n Matches n Battery-powered radio
Preparing now will ensure your family is safe in the event of a power outage or other emergency. Getty Images Flashlights Extra batteries n Essential toiletry items, such as toothbrush and paste An expanded list of items to consider when packing your emergency supply kit can be found at www.fema.gov. PORTABLE VS. STANDBY “Beyond preparing an emergency kit, purchasing a portable generator or installing a standby generator is the simplest way to keep the power on and ensure a family stays safe when a strong storm or other emergency knocks utility power offline,” Grandy said. “Understanding the distinction between these options will help any family determine which is the better choice for their home.” n A portable generator is an immediate, but temporary, solution. A portable gas generator is less n n
expensive than a standby unit and doesn’t require installation time. Its benefits have limits, as it can only power a few home appliances for a few hours before needing refueling. n A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch provides a seamless and permanent backup power solution. It is professionally installed outside the home and can power more of your home’s appliances for long periods of time. Powered by natural gas or liquid propane, recent power management technology has allowed homes to still receive whole-house backup electricity, but with a smaller, more affordable generator than in years past. With an emergency kit on hand and the right backup power source available, the frustration of weathering a storm can be greatly lessened.
