School takes steps to allow guide dog
IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS
Rules balance risk with educational rewards of animals
Thoughtexchange program used to get community feedback
BY CHRIS TUCKER CTUCKER@CENTRALKITSAPREPORTER.COM
School officials will take steps to allow a guide dog in-training to remain in a Green Mountain Elementary classroom. For the past nine years, teacher Cindy Jaquay brought a guide dog into her classroom to socialize the animal for the non-profit Guide Dogs of America program. Her current dog is a Yellow Labrador Retriever puppy named Bridget. But after a risk assessment walkCindy Jaquay through done with with Bridget. the school’s insurance provider, Jaquay was told she needed to remove the dog from her classroom since it conflicted with school policy. The Central Kitsap School Board reviewed their policy on animals at their Dec. 10 meeting and determined the dog could be allowed for its educational value if a specific, written plan was approved by the school’s principal, Thomasina Rogers. The school’s policy on dogs was written with the idea that dogs and cats might be brought in briefly for one-time events such as show-andtell. “The other challenge we were having prior to this policy was that we had staff members bringing their pets to school because they didn’t want to leave them at home,” said David McVicker, district superintendent. But, McVicker said, “If you look at the policy I think it’s got the capability to have a plan … and make an exception” for the guide dogs in-training. “Animals can play an important part in education,” states district policy 6520. “Animals shall not be brought to school unless the educational value of the animals’ presence SEE GUIDE DOG, A9

Holiday events are many around the towns The holidays are definitely upon us. Last weekend, more than 1,500 children and families were treated to a visit with Santa and toys for the kids at the annual Toys For Tots event at the fairgrounds. Local Marines were on hand to greet the folks. On Sunday, a full house took part in the Old Mill Christmas at the Seabeck Conference Center where they stepped back in time to celebrate Christmas as it would have been in the mid 1800s. During the evening, they were treated to a roasted pork dinner complete with apple pie. The event raises funds for the Kitsap Historical Society.
Teachers and staff at Central Kitsap schools are highly appreciated but feel overworked, according to the results from the “Thoughtexchange” online survey which the district sponsored this year. Using the Thoughtexchange process, 4,104 people submitted 9,074 comments via a district web page. They later voted on their own ideas or for ideas submitted by other people by allocating “stars” to the submissions they liked best. A total of 115,924 stars were allocated. The data collection phase is over, and the final results will be posted on the district’s web site ( www.cksd. wednet.edu ) by the next CK school board meeting Jan. 14. But school board members got an early peek at of the Thoughtexchange results this week. The summary showed that parents and guardians accounted for 65 percent of the responses. School staff accounted for 23 percent, students for six percent, citizens for four percent and “other” for one percent. According to the data, the largest number of stars – around 40 percent of the total – indicated that the community appreciated the district’s teachers, staff and leadership. “School environment” received the second-highest marks with around seven percent of the total stars. Teachers and staff “truly care about the children,” the report stated. The data also showed where the district needed improvement. Example: teachers and staff felt overworked. “All staff are overwhelmed,” according to the report. The issue was a top-scorer across nine different schools. “To me, what this reflects is we

Newspaper adds new reporter BY PETER O’CAIN POCAIN@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
So, I’m the new guy. I moved to the area about two weeks ago after spending most of my life in Kittitas County. So please excuse me if I’m a little rough around the edges. I grew up on a campground outside of Cle Elum where my parents worked as caretakers. I climbed a lot of trees growing up and I guess the monkey is ingrained in me. I’m Peter O’Cain in the process of trying out for American Ninja Warrior, an obstacle course contest that airs on NBC. There were many things that attracted me to Kitsap County, its naval ties chief among them. Long before I was a reporter, I was a U.S. Marine. I was active duty from 2003-2007 and served two tours in Iraq. My first deployment was aboard the USS Tarawa. We we spent a few months in the desert, but we also visited quite a few liberty ports. During my second deployment, we set up infrastructure at a nearby Iraqi army base for the first six or eight weeks and then spent the remaining five months with our hands behind our backs at parade rest as our platoon sergeant chewed us out for a litany of nonsense. I left active duty in 2007 and then began my Van Wilder-esque college career shortly after. I finally graduated from Central Washington University this past June. While at Central, I wrote for the student newspaper and the student magazine. Between the two, I covered a wide variety of topics from immigration raids and student government to veterans and Seattle superhero Phoenix Jones. Some of my experiences might be completely irrelevant in Bremerton, but if a man wearing a mask and body armor ever goes around shooting Tasers at rowdy citizens, you’re going to want me covering it.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS
Help needed for veteran
Eagles 2nd Hand thrift store is holding an “Adopt-a-family” fundraiser event for an injured army veteran and his family. “We are sponsoring a local family, a local disabled veteran and his family,” said Eagles 2nd Hand employee Anne Marie Culp. “He spent time in Iraq and he just got out of the military a couple of months ago and they are really hurting,” Culp said. The veteran suffered a neck injury and is currently waiting for disability to kick in, but that could take 6-9 months. To help out, the store will donate 15 percent of all store profits from Dec. 1-20 to the family. The store will also have Santa Claus available for pictures to raise money for the family. The cost is $5 for a photo with Santa. “We have until the 20th to make everything happen.” They will accept non-perishable food, clothing or toys. “They’ve made out a little wish list for us,” Culp said. The store is also accepting Paypal donations to the account eagles2ndhand@ yahoo.com. Eagles 2nd Hand is located at 1702 Sixth St. in Bremerton. Their phone number is 360627-7069.
Say farewell to Sheriff Boyer
A public retirement reception for Kitsap Sheriff Steve Boyer will be from noon to 2 p.m. Dec. 22 in the Commission Chambers of the Kitsap County Courthouse, 619 Division St. in Port Orchard.

Olympic College earns place in military guide to colleges Military Advanced Education (MAE) has awarded Olympic College the designation of a Top School in its 2015 MAE Guide to Colleges & Universities, measuring best practices in military and veteran education. The Guide was released in the December issue of MAE, and is available online at www.mae-kmi.com. The Guide presents results of a questionnaire of the military-supportive policies enacted at more than 600 institutions including private, public, for-profit, not-for-profit, fouryear, and two-year colleges. From community colleges to state universities, online universities and nationally known centers of higher learning, MAE’s 2015 Guide to Col-
leges & Universities arms students with information about institutions that go out of their way to give back to our men and women in uniform. Now in its eighth year of publishing the Guide, MAE was the first publication to launch a reference tool of this type. This year, institutes were evaluated on their military culture, financial aid, flexibility, on-campus support and online support services. Each school’s performance rating by category is represented by an easy-to-recognize dashboard. This enables prospective students to quickly target schools that follow best practices in military education, and then put these in context with other academic or career considerations.

Thoughts about outage A report released by the staff for the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission prompts critical concerns over CenturyLink’s outsourcing of pieces of its 911 network to Coloradobased Intrado. Last week’s report examined the statewide 911 outage across Washington state that happened April 9-10, and the analysis details how 6.9 million residents of Washington state lost the ability to call 911 from landline, wireless and Internet-based telephones. The outage had real effects in counties throughout the state, from heart attack and assault victims trying to call 911 for help to those who had seen vehicle crashes and were trying to alert emergency responders. Here in Kitsap County, the report notes, people involved in a car crash tried to call 911 during the outage but were unable to reach dispatchers, and an aid car at the scene also couldn’t get through. At Harrison Medical Center, workers tried to report a patient who had overdosed but could not reach 911. While investigators admitted the full impacts of the outage may never be known, at least 5,840 attempted 911 calls failed to properly reach emergency services during the outage in Washington. “It will likely never be known the true extent of the harm to the public. Thousands of callers reached out for help and did not receive it. CenturyLink failed to ensure that the 911 system was fully operational and all possible backup systems were operational,” the report states. The WUTC said the unprecedented six-hour 911 system outage was caused by errors that started in a data center owned and managed by CenturyLink’s 911 vendor. The report said the 911 system failure was “due to a foreseeable and preventable technical error and related deficiencies.” Another disturbing aspect of the report was the revelation that CenturyLink didn’t promptly notify 911 call centers that the 911 system had gone down. Staff for the utility commission have recommended a penalty up to $2.9 million for 11,731 violations of commission laws and rules. The penalty seems in line with the seriousness of the outage, and the commission should heed the advice of staff and pursue the penalty as well as order the recommended improvements to the infrastructure of the 911 system, and require annual reports on maintenance and inspections of the system.

It’s that time of year for toys and joys The joy on the face of a child opening a gift of a toy on Christmas morning is a universal language that needs no words. Various national and regional programs exist to gather and provide toys for children who might not otherwise receive them for a variety of situational reasons that are far beyond their control. My husband and I have spent the last number of years supporting holiday and hospital charities that work hard to fill the need for those small holiday joys and close the gap that a certain number of families struggle or find impossible to fill. Last week, Jason and I loaded up our Harley Davison motorcycle (otherwise known as the Metal Mistress to those of you who are frequent readers of my column) with our unwrapped toys and headed on down to Olympia. We participated in one of the Puget Sound region’s largest toy collection runs. We met up with other riders and friends of ours along the way making for a festive and adventurous time. Bundled up against the elements of rain and cold, we were thankful that the worst of the weather and the holiday traffic held off so that we could arrive
Everything Bremerton
Colleen Smidt in Lacey just as the parade was getting ready to start. Crowds of individuals and entire families lined the route of the parade to wave and cheer on the riders as they made their way through the streets of Olympia and around Capital Lake. Riders parked in lines that stretched along Deschutes Parkway as far as the eye could see while volunteers in holiday hats and aprons traveled up and down the lines with bags in hand to make all of the collections. This was the 38th time the annual Olympia Toy Run was held. Toys and money gathered from the thousands of motorcyclists who participate go directly to the Salvation Army for distribution through their Toy ‘n Joy shop.
This past weekend, the Kitsap Toys for Tots program held their annual distribution out at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds. Toys For Tots is an annual event in Kitsap County, sponsored by the U.S. Marines stationed at Naval base Kitsap/ Bangor. Volunteers have been gathering toys since October and all were distributed last weekend. Documentation was required to show that anyone getting a toy was part of a family on some type of state assistance. Around 3,000 Kitsap children and their parents selected gifts for kids ages 0 to 16. A combination of generosity from the community, together with a large number of selfless hours of volunteer effort go into making these toy drives individual moments of joy for each and every child that they touch. I want to take this moment to thank all of you who contributed to any of these programs. From my family to yours, have a very Merry Christmas.

A promise of impact from the United Way By Rich PeteRson Kitsap County united Way president
In December 2010, three community partners established the Kitsap Community Health Priorities (KCHP). The initial sponsor group was led by Dave Foote, executive director of United Way of Kitsap County, Scott Lindquist, director of Kitsap Public Health District, and Bob Cross, public relations director Harrison Medical Center. In 2013, Kol Medina, executive director of the Kitsap Community Foundation, and Doug Washburn, director of Kitsap Human Services, were added to the sponsor group and leadership team. The sponsor group provides leadership and coordination for the Community Health Improvement Process in Kitsap County. Community health is defined as: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The KCHP process is collaborative among diverse community partners work-
ing to determine the most critical community priorities. The 2014 KCHP results found the following community issues in priority order: 1. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs, for example: child abuse/neglect, alcoholic/drug addicted parent, loss of a family member as in death or abandonment, homeless, etc.). 2. Mental Health (many issues due to ACEs). 3. Affordable Housing and Homelessness. 4. Prevent/Reduce Obesity, especially in our youth. For several years, United Way of Kitsap County has been moving towards becoming a Community Impact (CI) United Way. The simple definition for CI is: “Improving lives by mobilizing the caring power of the community.” KCHP has accomplished that by bringing together diverse groups of community members and organizations to review and analyze data specific to Kitsap County to determine those issues most critical to improving the lives of people in our community. From the beginning, United Way promised to stra-
tegically prioritize resources based on the KCHP results in order to advance the common good and work collaboratively with local organizations. The goal: “Work towards positive outcomes that help individuals and families lift themselves out of poverty.” Our strategic plan calls out ACEs as it relates to Early Childhood Learning, building resilience against ACEs and preparing children to enter kindergarten; homelessness and affordable housing as it relates to shelter for the homeless and keeping families in safe housing; health as it relates to healthy lifestyles and youth obesity as well as helping to meet basic needs. Today, United Way is fulfilling that promise to target resources towards community priorities that will aid in building resilience to ACEs, school readiness, the reduction of poverty, homelessness and encourage healthy lifestyles choices especially in young children and adolescents. We have also established a solid community partnership with the Kitsap Community

Foundation in support the Kitsap Great Give and a partnership with the foundation, the Suquamish Tribe and the Gates Foundation to build community philanthropy and to reach out to other partners to educate the community on adverse childhood experiences to help increase the resiliency in our children. These are important steps forward in our evolution as a Community Impact United Way and to be more to the community than just a collector and grantor of funds. It is true when we say, “We can do more united than we ever can alone.” United Way, our partners and the community working together, targeting and tackling real problems and issues is the key to making a better life and a better community for everyone. We hope that you will join us on our transformation as we strive to truly impact the community in which we work to advance the common good of our community. You can help. You can Give by making a pledge today to United Way and help impact the community. You can advocate for your favorite cause. You can volunteer at your favorite charity or during the United Way Day of Caring in June. Give, advocate, volunteer: Live United. It’s a credo, it’s a mission, it’s a goal. It’s a constant reminder, when you reach out to one you influence the conditions of all. Please help United Way, by calling 360-377-8505 or go online at www.unitedwaykitsap.org.

Each of us who lead Kitsap County law enforcement agencies wish to congratulate Tina Robinson on her election as Kitsap County Prosecutor. We know that Ms. Robinson will build on the good relationships between the office and law enforcement, and continue to make progress on public safety and the strong partnerships we have in this area. As this transition occurs, we also want to make sure we all recognize the departing prosecutor, Russ Hauge, for his long service in that office. The recent campaign had plenty of debate and commentary, and of course everyone is entitled to their opinions and the expression of those opinions through their vote. Now that it’s done, let’s keep in mind that Russ was always someone who advocated strongly for justice, worked well with law enforcement, and really cares about the community. He served 20 years in the office, with the demands and controversies that come with it. He deserves our respect and thanks. We often say that someone “runs” for office, but we prefer the term “stands” for office — a person indicates that they are willing to serve, and stands ready to contribute. Russ stood and contributed for twenty years, and did it well. Tina Robinson has stood and shown she is willing to serve, and each of us looks forward to a positive working relationship, and improved public safety. Sheriff Steve Boyer, Sheriff-Elect Gary Simpson, Poulsbo Chief Al Townsend, Bainbridge Island Chief Matt Hamner, Bremerton Chief Steve Strachan, Port Orchard Chief Geoffrey Marti, Suquamish Tribal Police Chief Mike Lasnier and Port Gamble Police Chief Sam White

Woman assaulted picking up Thanksgiving food basket
A 29-year-old Bremerton woman was charged with assault after she tried to take a three-year-old girl away from the child’s mother while at the Central Kitsap Food Bank. According to police, Shanna Christine Lewis was at the food bank waiting to pick up a Thanksgiving basket of food along with the victim. Lewis allegedly said “You didn’t birth
that child!” to another woman, grabbed the woman’s child, and then began to attack the woman, “swinging her fists wildly.” The women tussled and were then separated. Police arrived and found cuts and bruises on the victim’s face and neck. According to the police report, Lewis was under the care of Kitsap Mental Health and was taking some anti-psychotic medications. Lewis was arrested for assault. Her bail was set at $75,000.
Hotel clerk uses customer’s credit card to buy lingerie
A hotel clerk allegedly used a customer’s credit card to purchase lingerie, according to a felony complaint filed in the Kitsap County District Court. Briana A. Primm Heimerman, 20, of Bremerton, was charged with identity theft in the second degree. On Nov. 27, Primm Heimerman, who worked as a hotel clerk, allegedly used a hotel customer’s credit card information to purchase $34.90 worth of lingerie and had the pur-
Page A7
chase shipped to her home. The customer had paid for his room using the same card. Primm Heimerman told police that she did make the purchase, but adamantly said the purchase was made using her own credit card, not the customer’s card.
He had dope in his sock
William Louis Ivey, 69, of Bremerton, was charged with delivery of methamphetamine. Bremerton detectives had an informant purchase methamphetamine from Ivey on three occasions. The total amount
of the purchases was 4.5 grams. Officers used a search warrant to search Ivey’s home and found 5.8 grams of methamphetamine there. Ivey said he was a dealer and only used the drug occasionally. His cell phone showed several text messages regarding drugs and prices. After being told he was being arrested, Ivey told officers “I have dope in my sock,” and pulled out a 1-gram bag of methamphetamine. Bail was set at $100,000.

Port still working to fill the Bremerton Marina By LesLie KeLLy lkelly@soundpublishing.com
If two-for-one is a good deal, then two-for-one for the second time around is a great deal. That was the just of an argument put forth to the Port of Bremerton Commissioners recently by marina consultant Bob Wise. Wise, of Marsh Andersen LLC of Bainbridge Island, told commissioners that he thought they should extend the Bremerton Marina’s offer of a free year with a paid year for another year. “We took very dramatic
action in 2013, and I think we need to take additional action in 2015, to basically finish the project,” Wise said. Wise referred to the offer made to boaters that allowed them to pay for a month of moorage and get the next month free, so long as they agreed to stay in the marina on a permanent basis for two years. That action came in mid2013 as a way to fill the Bremerton Marina with permanent boaters which the marina had struggled with. There are 221 slips for permanent tenants and 113 are occupied.
Following an expensive rebuild at a cost of $840,000 in 2013, the marina seemed to attract overnight visitors, but not boaters who stayed for months. With the two-for-one offer, the marina added 30 permanent tenants. But with the deal ending next summer, Wise said he thought it should be extended again, but only to new tenants. The relaunch of the offer will coincide with the Seattle Boat Show which runs from Jan. 22 to Feb. 1. “It’s the premier boat show in the area,” Wise told commissioners. “Attendance is
usually around 50,000.” The Port of Bremerton hosts a booth at the show and port staff will be on hand this year to sign up new tenants for the two for one offer. Wise said he wouldn’t be surprised if the marina fills all of its permanent moorage slips during the show. “I’m stepping out on a limb here,” Wise said. “But we want to completely sell out the marina for the upcoming boating year.” Wise said he wasn’t certain how many of the boaters who took the twofor-one offer the first time around will stay, once they
begin to pay full price in July 2015. But he said his overall feeling is that those tenants are impressed with the facilities and he thinks there will be a high retention rate. According to Wise, who has been under contract with the port to market the Bremerton Marina for more than 18 months, revenue at the marina is up 50 percent from 2012. He anticipates the port will have revenues from the Bremerton Marina of half-a-million dollars in 2014. And he said he thinks the marina will top $800,000 by 2017 with a near 100
percent occupancy and all tenants paying full price by then. All moorage at the port is based on the length of the boats. Typical would be $345 a month for a 36-foot boat. To date, the port has paid Wise $77,000 for his 20 months of work. Commissioners seemed to agree with Wise’s plan to extend the two-for-one offer. “I’d like to see us be aggressive and fill it up,” said Roger Zabinski, port commission president. “Empty slips don’t build us any revenue.”
New school discipline tactics reviewed Silverdale Library By Peter O’Cain pocain@soundpublishing.com
The Bremerton School District moved closer to adopting new disciplinary policies at last week’s school board meeting by accepting the reading of Policy 3241. Included in the new policy is a language change that allows schools to shift from punishment to corrective action. “The goal is to correct one’s behavior as opposed to punishing someone for their behavior,” said Patty Glaser, communications coordinator.
Under Policy 3241, longterm suspensions would be limited to the school year in which the conduct happened; emergency suspensions either won’t exceed 10 days or will be converted into another form of corrective action; and parents will be able to request an appeal orally or in writing. Board member Carolynn Perkins said she disagreed with much of the policy, but took particular issue with the limit on suspension length. “If a student creates a disturbance that causes him to be suspended for seven days and there’s two days left in school, that’s all he gets?” Perkins said.
“Whereas a child that is a similar disturbance in February gets the full seven days.” Perkins doesn’t like the new policy, but maintains the district will enforce it accordingly. “I can just see a flaw in it. I understand not holding it over to the (next) year for a fresh start,” Perkins said. “But it is what it is and we will abide by it. We will implement it as it stands.” The changes come at the recommendation of the Washington State School Directors’ Association. The board also heard a report on its quarterly budget. After one quarter, the dis-

The district also increased its revenue from last year by about $600,000, largely due to higher enrollment, Lindberg said. The board conducted its annual reorganizing of the board.

work at the city library system in Boise, Idaho. Kitsap Regional Library Director Jill Jean expressed “a mixture of pride and sadness” in sharing the news of Eisler’s departure with staff. “I know Melody will be a wonderful addition to the Port Townsend community,” said Jean. Jean said Eisler has built an “amazing team at Silverdale that focuses on great customer service. We will miss her.” In taking the Silverdale manager’s position, Sherman moves from one of the KRL’s smaller locations to one of its busiest, and into a key position at a time when Kitsap Regional Library is gearing up for a capital campaign to raise the funds needed to build a new library in Silverdale. “We all want something to be proud of, something that symbolizes all we believe in as a community and worth defending with all urgency and sacrifice should anything threaten it,” Sherman said. “For me, that something is the library.” Jean said the library system will begin recruiting for a new branch manager for Manchester as quickly as possible. Sherman, received a bachelor’s degree in religious studies from Canisius College in Buffalo, and a master’s degree in library science from the State University of New York at Buffalo. He is certified as a librarian in the states of New York and Washington. A “Hello/Goodbye” party for staff, Friends of Silverdale Library and the public to thank Eisler and welcome Sherman will be from noon to 2 p.m. Jan. 16 at the Silverdale Library.

Survey says: Marijuana and driving don’t mix
Kitsap Community Foundation opens nominations for philanthropy awards
A new survey shows seven out of ten drivers have used marijuana and almost half of those have recently driven within a few of hours after using marijuana. Law enforcement officers will be on the lookout for impaired drivers as they perform state-wide DUI patrols this holiday season through Jan. 1. According to preliminary results of a June survey that measured driver impairment on Washington’s roads, nearly 90 percent of those same drivers said they did not think marijuana degraded their driving ability. But research showed that driving while under the influence of marijuana doubled the chance of killing the abuser or others in a crash. Amazingly, 25 percent of respondents felt that driving while under the influence of marijuana made them a better driver. “It’s extremely troubling to me that so many marijuana users think that driving high is not a problem. It’s a serious problem,” said Darrin Grondel, Washington Traffic Safety Commission Director. From 2009-2013, more than 1,000 people died in impaired driving collisions in Washington. Impaired driving is involved in nearly half of all traffic deaths and more than 20 percent of serious injury collisions.
Kitsap Community Foundation (KCF) will give three distinguished philanthropy awards to outstanding individuals and businesses at the Kitsap County Celebration of Philanthropy in May. Kol Medina, executive director at the foundation, is asking for the public’s assistance in finding the most deserving supporters of philanthropy in Kitsap County. “We aren’t always aware of the most deserving individuals and businesses and are appreciative of the public’s help in identifying worthy nominees,” Medina said. The foundation has been giving these awards annually at the Celebration of Philanthropy since 2001. “The Foundation is honored to annually recognize individuals and businesses who give so much to our community,” Medina said. The award winners will be announced at the Kitsap County Celebration of Philanthropy May 15 at the Kitsap Convention Center in Bremerton. Kitsap Community Foundation is currently accepting nominations for the following three awards: • Spirit of Philanthropy Award: The recipient of this award is provided by the C. Keith Birkenfeld Trust at The Seattle Foundation with
In addition to death, injury and crumpled vehicles, a DUI arrest comes with heavy penalties: up to a year in jail, a $5,000 fine, and a loss of a driver’s license. DUI offenders can also be ordered to wear an electronic ankle bracelet. Many must install an ignition interlock device, which prevents a car from starting if the driver has been drinking. Defense attorney fees can cost as much as $10,000, and insurance rates can double. The Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Naval Base Kitsap, Port Orchard, Poulsbo and Suquamish Police Departments along with the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office and the Washington State Patrol will be team-
ing up and participating in the extra patrols with the support of the Kitsap County Traffic Safety Task Force. All of these extra patrols are part of “Target Zero,” a program that aims to end traffic deaths and serious injuries in Washington by 2030. For more information, visit www.targetzero. com. Additional information on the survey, which was held by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, can be found at www.wtsc.wa.gov/ pire. Information on the Washington Traffic Safety Commission can be found on the agency website, www. wtsc.wa.gov. Trooper Russ Winger with the Washington State Patrol said that although he couldn’t speak for the state, he has not noticed an increase in the number of motorists driving under the influence of marijuana in his district since the drug was legalized in 2012. Kitsap County is in the WSP’s eighth district. Winger said marijuana DUIs were not specifically tracked as it would be listed only as a drug-related DUI, and so providing hard numbers on whether or not there were more motorists using it were not available. But Winger said Troopers have seen people act openly with marijuana now instead of trying to hide it.

Service dogs for disabled people are allowed by the policy, but it doesn’t mention dogs
being trained for service. The board looked at other schools in the I-5 corridor and found none that specifically allowed for puppies in training in schools. Board member Mark Gaines asked what the “educational value” of the dog was per the policy. He suggested adding a paragraph to the policy to allow guide dogs in-training from accredited organizations. “I think having a service animal in the classroom is a great thing. I think it’s great for the students. (Jaquay) explained at the last meeting how you bring the dog down to the office and you talk to the students about what a service animals does, so there’s some value there. But if I am going to try to demonstrate to you
know that I would be able to do that,” Gaines said. “How do you calculate the risk to students with allergies? How do you calculate the risk that the dog couldn’t bite a student at some point? Probably highly unlikely but these kind of things do happen with animals occasionally,” Gaines said. Board member Chris Stokke was skeptical of the educational value of the dog. “What is our mission? Our mission is to educate kids in a safe environment,” Stokke said. “Educating service puppies is not our role.” The policy lists three groups of animals. Dogs and cats are

Definition of ‘firearm’ in I-594 too vague, man says By Chris TuCker ctucker@centralkitsapreporter.com
A vague definition of what constitutes a “firearm” in the Initiative 594 background check law led Bremerton resident Robert Parker to wonder if such checks would be required for the sale of nail guns, flare guns or fireworks. I-594 defines a firearm as “a weapon or device from which a projectile or projectiles may be fired by an explosive such as gunpowder.” Parker said that because his nail gun used .22 caliber blanks to drive nails, it seemed to him to meet the definition of “firearm.” The vagueness of the phrasing bothered him.

unloaded nail gun with him and placed it atop the lectern. By chance, the barrel happened to point toward the council.
“Mr. Parker you have that pointed right at me,” said council president Greg Wheeler. “I’m sorry,” Parker, surprised, said as he repositioned the tool. “I’ll point it at me.” “The first level (violation of I-594) is a gross misdemeanor which is covered by the city, not the county. It becomes important to us to know if our people that are working in construction that may have a felony, if they start transferring these around are they going to be arrested or charged? “Nobody has really answered that question yet and I think maybe it’s important that we start addressing it,” Parker said.
“It sounds like I’m playing a game on them but I’m not,” Parker said later. “Eventually I think this is all going to end up in court.” Roger Lubovich, Bremerton city attorney said his office had not researched the issue yet. “We haven’t gotten there yet so that’s an interesting issue,” Lubovich said. “Obviously, I don’t think that was the intent with the initiative,” he said. Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Deputy Scott Wilson said he’s “heard that same rumbling” about the literal definition of “firearm” in I-594. Wilson said the sheriff ’s office would take a common sense approach to the definition. Deputies would not stand
outside hardware stores and do background checks on contractors purchasing nail guns, for example. “That’s not going to be the case,” Wilson said. “It’s just one of those situations where we’re going to wait for a more detailed definition that may come from the courts on this,” he said. Web pages for both the Washington Department of Licensing and the Washington State Office of the Attorney General both defer to local law enforcement and prosecutors on how to enforce firearms laws. I-594 did not change the definition of firearm, but re-used a definition elsewhere in the Revised Code of Washington.

Things I learned at my 20th high school reunion 1. Men really do age. Flip through any family photo album in our house, and I’m willing to bet money you’d find my husband, Dustin, looking exactly the same: khaki pants, striped shirt, same haircut, unintentional 5 o’clock shadow. He does not change. Flip through the same photo album and you’ll see me with a handful of hairstyles and colors, endless clothing trends, and, unfortunately, a variety of weights. Lines have appeared on my face in fast motion, like those flipbooks that make sketches seem animated. All of the above is what I feared most about my 20-year high school reunion last month. Would anyone even recognize me? Would there be uncomfortable moments of silence and awkwardness when old friends’ faces showed their surprise at seeing my nearly 40-yearold face and body? Well, yes, there would
Navy Wise
Sarah Smiley be many uncomfortable moments, but not necessarily for this reason. More on that later. When I walked in the door at the bar in Virginia Beach, Virginia, however, I didn’t recognize one single male from my high school class. Not one. Suddenly, even my husband looked old. We women might age incrementally in each family photo, but men, it seems, age overnight and all at once. I can’t decide which is more depressing. 2. Facebook has made reunions really awkward. Our modern-day connectivity has taken much of the shock and awe out
of high school reunions. Despite my nerves, and aside from the surprise of seeing men who have aged and clearly haven’t changed their Facebook profile picture since the 10-year reunion, I pretty much knew what to expect from the women. I see my friends on Facebook every day. Going in, this meant I already knew that my childhood best friend, Leslie, now has long hair and still doesn’t weigh much. But I also see my friends’ children, pets, breakfast, pets’ breakfast, soccer games, Elf on the Shelf and selfies every day, too. And if there’s one thing high school reunions depend on it’s the idea that all these people need to update one another on their lives for the past 20 years. Thanks to Facebook, however, many reunion conversations now go like this: “I went to grad school—“ “Yeah, I saw your pictures.” “And then we went to
France.” “Yep, saw that, too.” “And I eat pancakes every Saturday.” “Knew that.” 3. It’s hard to be the spouse. When you are the spouse of the reunion attendee, you have one very important role: You are the space filler. Your job is to stand there and help people not look awkward while they scan the room and look for another classmate they’d like to talk to. You are not expected to know anyone, so you are allowed to circle the buffet table and stuff mints into your pocket. There is very little expectations for you beyond this. You might need to hold a phone or a jacket, but for the most part, you smile and nod, even when you meet your spouse’s old boyfriends. 4. What you write in school yearbooks doesn’t go away. It’s funny the things people remember — especially when they are writ-
ten in fluorescent pink highlighter. Apparently I signed one boy’s fifthgrade yearbook with these memorable words: “Sarah - the girl whose lunch you always smoosh.” School-age kids, you can do better than this. Don’t be that person. Even “see you next summer” is better. For a really good laugh, add “call me,” with your family’s phone number, er, your cell phone number. 5. Coolness doesn’t come with a lifetime membership. This is important for today’s high school students to hear: Everything that matters to you right now will likely seem trivial in 20 years. Feel left out by the cool crowd you’ve envied since kindergarten? Imagine how regular those people will seem when they are sagging and graying alongside everyone else. Still pining for the boy in homeroom who never notices you? In 20 years, you’ll be surprised at how accom-
plished, smart and interesting the other boy, the shy one in the corner — the one you barely remembered — has become. This is along the same lines as my husband’s theory that folding the clothes properly only means he will be asked to do it again next time. You see, the cool people are under tremendous pressure when they return for the reunion. Did they maintain their status? But all of the shy people of the world have their “Can’t Buy Me Love” lunchroom-scene moment when they walk into the room, announce their success, and everyone says, “wait, who is that?” Then, if you’re lucky, everyone slow claps and theme music plays in the background. Okay, it’s not going to be like that. But you can always believe that it was. Sarah Smiley is a Navy wife who lives on the East Coast and writes weekly about her experiences as a mom and Navy wife.
USS John C. Stennis certified to f ly By Jonathan Jiang Mass CoMMuniCation speCialist 3rd Class
PACIFIC OCEAN – Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 9 successfully completed flight deck certification Dec. 12, after a 16-month Docking Planned Incremental Availability (DPIA) period. Representatives from each CVW9 squadron embarked aboard Stennis Dec. 5 to perform aircraft launch and recovery operations over the course of three days. Flight deck certification started about 120 days before this underway, said Lt. j.g. Mark Rodriguez, Stennis’ flight deck officer. “We have to be certified to launch and recover aircraft by the Commander of Naval Air Forces handling team prior to conducting flight operations.” The certification was the first time that Stennis and CVW9 operated together since deploying in 2013. “It’s been a good experience getting familiar with shipboard life again,” said Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Equipment) 1st Class Wendell Ramos of
Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 14. “It’s important to build that relationship between the air wing and ship.” For many of Stennis’ and CVW9’s personnel, this underway was their first time to see flight operations. “It’s scary but exciting at the same time,” said Logistics Specialist Seaman Edward Mitchell, from Fayetteville, N.C. “There (are) propellers spinning, planes taking off and landing, things that you normally only see in movies.” Stennis and CVW9 performed 160 launch and recoveries during day and night operations through-
out the certification process. “The purpose of flight deck certification is to make sure all the pieces fall in together,” said Lt. j.g. Mark Trask, an aviator assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 14. “The equipment, personnel, catapults and carrier air traffic control have to be certified and ready to launch and recover aircraft in support of future air missions.” Completing flight deck qualifications brings Stennis one step closer to becoming fully combat ready.

Trying a hand at ringing in the holiday season
Robert Zollna Photo
Reporter/Patriot editor Leslie Kelly tries her hand at ringing the bell for the Salvation Army’s holiday red kettle fundraising effort. Bell ringers will be out until nightfall Dec. 24. By LesLie KeLLy lkelly@soundpublishing.com
It’s something that marks the season. When out and about, if you hear that sweet sound of the silver bell ringing, you know it’s Christmas time. And time for the Salvation Army’s bell ringers. Like others, I walk past many bell ringers during the season. Sometimes I give. Sometimes I don’t. Being a reporter, and having done a story about Frank, the man who rings the bell each December outside JC Penney’s at the
Kitsap Mall, I probably know a bit more about the operation than most. I know that some bell ringers are volunteers from service clubs like the Silverdale Rotarians, who each take their turn standing with the red kettle. Other bell ringers are actually hired at minimum wage — $9.32 — and are trained employees who are in need of an income themselves. They are the ones who wear red vests and who work the long four- and five-hour shifts. There are about 80 of them this year.
Most volunteers work two-hour shifts. And there’s about 25 of them this year. Training includes learning about the Salvation Army and what they do, and how their money is spent. Other information given during training includes to greet everyone, not to pressure anyone to give, and not to watch or make comment about the amount anyone gives. In fact, bell ringers aren’t even suppose to touch the money — they allow the giver to put the money in the kettle themselves.
In all, more than 8,000 hours are spent at the red kettles annually at 45 sites throughout the Kitsap County and Belfair. The campaign brings in more than $240,000 — at least that’s the goal. But I wondered just what it might be like to stand on the other side of the red kettle. So I decided to volunteer for a shift and record what I learned. While nothing’s scientific about my two hours at the kettle, I did learn a few things. First, ringing a bell isn’t as easy as it looks. You have to figure out if you’re going to hold it upside down and really swing it around, or just hold it waist-level and make tiny movements back and forth. Also, is it better to go back and forth, or circle that bell around? In my case, I had a very used metal bell that ended up sounding better when held upright at waist level using small back and forth movements. I found out that, even through the temperature was in the 40s, after a short time, it gets cold. I had my warm coat, hat and mittens and still at about 26 minutes, my toes were getting numb. At one hour and 25 minutes, I was shivering. Some other observa-
tions: dle-aged man who donatMost shoppers in the ed a few bucks and told me morning are buying milk he supports the Salvation Army because it was there and donuts.

Super Jeep takes Poulsbo men across Alaska
Off-roaders trek through the Alaskan wilderness for new History channel TV series and competition
BY KIPP ROBERTSON Kitsap Week
C
arl Jantz finds solutions to mechanical problems on a regular basis. A Toyota pickup was under repair in his shop Dec. 3. Tools and parts filled benches and tables throughout the shop. The owner of Jantz Engineering and his small staff stay busy. But it’s not always business for Jantz. Parked outside the shop sits a 1942 Willys Jeep. The fuel-injected Chevy V8-powered 4x4 is not the kind of Jeep commonly seen on the road. The Jeep has been stretched 25 inches. It’s 47-inch tires and lift raise it high off the ground — enough to make an average size person stretch to get in. The backup gas cans, rope tow, and other tools make it clear the vehicle is not meant for picking up the groceries. The roll cage on the
Jeep shows anyone who glances at this 4x4 that it has seen a few rough trips. “I did all the work on it,” Jantz said proudly. It’s known as Super Jeep. Inside his shop, Jantz shows a photo of what the Jeep looked like when he first purchased it. It was candy apple red. Now, the amount of wear and tear — dirt and scratches — are making it tougher to tell exactly what this machine looked like when it drove off the lot. Though few have seen what the Jeep looked like off the lot, plenty of people know what it looks like now. Jantz, born in Walla Walla, and Rich Rudman of Kingston, were selected as one of five teams to race off-road for the History channel show “Alaska Off-Road Warriors.” They were the only non-Alaskan team, according to the History channel. The show premiered Nov. 30. New

A JAZZY TWIST ON THE CLASSIC TALE... FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
Carl Jantz with his Super Jeep outside his auto shop in Poulsbo. Jantz and Kingston’s Rich Rudman are the only two people on “Alaska Off Road Warriors” not from Alaska. The Jeep was custom-built by Jantz. The show airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on the History channel. Episodes can be seen on www.history.com.

racing across trails in the Alaskan wilderness. The trails are divided into two legs. The race began near the Pacific Ocean, close to Anchorage on the southern coast of the state. It
continued to Deadhorse, on the northern coast of Alaska. The team with the lowest aggregated time from all the trails will be named the winner. The two Kitsap resi-
dents are the oldest in the contest, according to the show. Though Jantz is not able to discuss the show because of his contract with the History channel, it’s clear his life leading up to the race prepared him for what he faced in Alaska. “My folks used to talk to me about all the crazy places they used to go hunting,” Jantz said. “I have just always loved the outdoors.” Jantz drove his first 4x4 — a pedal 4x4 — when he was 5, on his birthday. He likes to say he’s been off-roading since then. His love of all things 4x4 continued to grow. Jantz would go hunting with his older brothers. See JEEP, Page 3

Continued from page 2 “I wasn’t as hooked on hunting as my brothers were,” he said. “I just kind of liked driving around, seeing the mountains, and four-wheeling.” Jantz took a slightly different path, focusing on driving challenging terrain. The 57-year-old has been breaking and repairing vehicles for fun nearly his entire life. “It’s just what I do,” he said. There have been some tense moments for Jantz during his time in the wilderness. He estimates he’s rolled his Jeep about three times. He’s had to abandon the Jeep when it has broken down on multiple occasions. Jantz’ typical off-road excursions are in the Olympics and Cascades, where he tries to go about once a month. In the summer, he goes over to the Cascades because of the legal trails offered. During the winter, he heads to the Olympics and drives logging roads covered in snow. “You get a few feet of snow on the road and it’s challenging,” Jantz said. “It’s a blast.” There have been some hairy breakdowns. For
”At 82, I’m going to park it and say it’s done. Then I’m going to tell my grandkids stories.” — Carl Jantz
example, one afternoon the Jeep broke down and Jantz found himself about 22 miles from the nearest house. The road was covered in snow and he had gone about 12 miles. Luckily, the last snowmobiler of a group picked him up not too long after the breakdown. “The No. 1 rule is don’t go out alone,” he said. “With that being said, I’ve pushed that limit a couple of times…” Why does he do it? Well, people have pioneered their way as far as the North Pole and South Pole; and even left the atmosphere. For Jantz, it’s a similar draw, but he wants to do it in a 4x4. Jantz has a degree in mechanical engineering. He opened an 4x4 shop in Spokane before working for Boeing as a manufacturer in research development. Now he’s back to what he loves. He operates Jantz Engineering (www. jantz4x4.com) in Poulsbo. The business isn’t your average shop; specializing in 4x4 repair and modifica-
tions — although vehicles of all kinds are welcome. The shop offers its own line of specialty products, too. Rudman owns Manzanita Macro, named for Manzanita Bay and headquartered in Kingston (www.manzanitamicro.com). The business specializes in electric vehicles and modifications and is an electric-vehicle component supplier. Since returning from Alaska, Jantz’ phone has been constantly ringing. The show brought a lot of attention for the Poulsbo resident. “I hope it kind of gets down to a dull roar,” he said, adding that he’s enjoyed every minute. The 57-year-old Poulsbo resident plans to continue off-roading until he’s in his 80s, he said. Jantz wants to celebrate his Jeep’s 100th birthday before he stops. “At 82 I’m going to park it and say it’s done,” Jantz said. “Then I’m going to tell my grandkids stories; actually it will be great-grandkids by then.”

Red wines for a holiday and winter meal
A look at local red wines apt for the season
C
hristmas is coming, and that often means meals that are richer, more bold and more comforting — and this calls for red wines. During the holiday season, there are more opportunities to meet with friends and family during get-togethers, parties and dinners. The food served is often heartier, including roasted meats and vegetables, stews, casseroles, lasagna, ham and venison. The flavors and textures associated with such dishes mean wines with bigger flavors and more structure. Protein and fats are great at taming bold, tannic wines, and this can mean a glorious food-pairing opportunity.
NW WINES By ANDY PERDUE and ERIC DEGERMAN
Here are a few big red wines we’ve tasted in recent weeks that should pair well with what you’re likely to be eating not only through the end of 2014, but also well into the winter months. Any also would make a terrific Christmas gift. Ask for these at your favorite wine merchant or contact the wineries directly. Barnard Griffin 2010 Malbec, Columbia Valley, $35: Owner/ winemaker Rob Griffin barrel-aged this Malbec a little longer than usual, which allowed it to be more fully mature upon release. Aromas of dark chocolate, blueberry, poached plums, cherry cola and allspice lead to rich flavors of fruit
compote with blackberry, black cherry and a dusting of cocoa powder. (14.25 percent alc.) Milbrandt Vineyards 2011 Northridge Vineyard Sentinel, Wahluke Slope, $55: This Meritage-style blend is winemaker Josh Maloney’s top-shelf bottling. Beautiful aromas of black currant, blueberry and lilac are surrounded by vanilla, cocoa and allspice. The drink is luscious with flavors of black cherry and boysenberry, which come upon rounded tannins and ample acidity. (13. percent alc.) Nefarious Cellars 2012 Defiance Vineyard Malbec, Lake Chelan, $35: Lake Chelan winemakers Dean and Heather Neff have developed a cult following. While they’ve made headlines with their work from their estate with Riesling and Rhône variet-

Josh Maloney is the head winemaker of Milbrandt Vineyards. The winemaking facility is in Mattawa, Wash., and the tasting room is in the Yakima Valley town of Prosser. Andy Perdue ies — Dean does the reds, Heather hones the whites — their estate Defiance Vineyard again proves itself with Malbec. Its hallmark is the theme of ripe Marionberry and black cherry, and while there’s
black licorice concentration on the midpalate, its lithe tannin structure allows for the delicious lingering of blueberry acidity to become the focus. (14.6 percent alc.) Amavi Cellars 2012

STARS ABOVE KITSAP LOCAL ASTROLOGY / HOROSCOPES SIGNS
By SUZANNE O’CLAIR
T
he Stark family’s prophecy is fulfilled: Winter has come! The darkest season arrives heralded by Solstice (Dec. 21), the darkest day of the year, which coincides with the new moon at 5:36 p.m. on the darkest night of the month. An astrological chart for this moon carries double significance because it gives us a look ahead at this month as well as the entire winter season. Center stage are five planets in Capricorn carrying the weight of collective wisdom. They range from the fiery Sun (will) to icy Pluto (power), including Mercury (intelligence), Venus (love) and the moon (emotions).
Aries: March 21 - April 19 Taurus: April 20 - May 20 Gemini: May 21 - June 20 Cancer: June 21 - July 22 Leo: July 23 - Aug. 22 Virgo: Aug. 23 - Sept. 22 Libra: Sept. 23 - Oct. 22 Scorpio: Oct. 23 - Nov. 21 Sagittarius: Nov. 22 - Dec. 21 Capricorn: Dec. 22 - January 19 Aquarius: Jan. 20 - Feb. 18 Pisces: Feb. 19 - March 20 Capricorn settles us into the earthy, pragmatic, focused work of making dreams come true. Stepby-step, day-by-day, little-by-little. During this winter, we can mature. Or we can hitch our wagon to erratic Uranus and be a rebel without a cause. Rewards come when we use our individual genius to do truly innovative work — as a group. At solstice/new moon, follow the poet Rilke’s advice. “Go into your self and see how deep the place is from which your life flows.” We remember that in darkness the only light we see is our own. And we may well ask how much more light do we want to
carry next year? In quiet dark, we wait. And, then, the miracle occurs. The light of all lights lifts us up into a new cycle of love and life. In this Light, revisit your dream. Then, turn your hand to the work of it. In this cycle of new light, all things are possible. Horoscopes For the Dec. 21 new moon to the Jan. 5 full moon. Capricorn, five gods and goddesses are polishing you. Step up and be a leader we can follow with honor. Your ambitions must work for the good of the whole ... not for yourself alone, or your boss or stockholders. No offense, but hey, Jesus was a Capricorn. Lead us in work worth doing!
Aquarius, you must, must, must take down time this month. Mars, the Energizer bunny planet, is giving you plenty of juice to wrap up the old cycle and get ready for the future. So many ideas and possibilities, but the clues are whispering in the quiet. Shhhh ... Pisces, your benefit from this grounded cycle comes by keeping it real. You can do miraculous work but, don’t get lost in fantasies about what you think is happening. Follow the footsteps of Martin Luther King who embodied the Capricorn/Pisces energy. He had a dream, but he led his people stepby-step. Leo, speaking of fantasies, how is your health, your weight, your daily habits. You know what needs worked on, and the bad news is, if you don’t, it shows — as in too much bass? Jupiter in your sign is slowing down the party so you can get on track. Just do it. You’ll feel better — and look good! Scorpio, the weight of your normal self-reflection lifts. You may be initiating different ways of learning, teaching and your general daily interactions. Put that crazy energy to work cleaning out the basement, or the man-cave. Gemini, you love socializing and gabbing but sometimes, enough is enough. In fact, all that chatting and interaction is what produces change in you. Slow down and
”Rewards come when we use our individual genius to do truly innovative work — as a group.” let it settle in. Make your personal shift now: close relationships are involved soon. Sagittarius, re-assess your skills, talents and resources for your new gig. Own what is yours and budget it for use in your mission. Saturn, the reality master, helps you trim your vision into manageable pieces over the next few years. Oh, and it’s play-off season — but you knew that already! Taurus, this gift of Capricornian wisdom shifts you into the reaping cycle. Make a plan for how to manage being at your peak of professional visibility. Any madness at work needs innovative action. Riding the Goatwave demands that you follow your plan and not get swept up in power plays. Virgo, the glut of Capricorn planets falls in your area of fun! Not so easy for fretful you, but the fun comes in a focused, managerial way — just your style! Make a detailed action plan, and at the top of the page, write down WHY you are doing what you are doing and visit that statement regularly.
Libra, you have a crowd at home! Are they family and friends? Or a remodeling crew? A moving van and packing team? Whatever it is, it’s all about home base. Keeping balance among all involved demands selfcare. Remember the lesson of the airplane masks — put yours on first! Aries, the restless energy of Uranus that’s been driving you is tied into this chart. Harness that energy! It’s time to put your individuality and abundant drive to work for the group. They need your spark. And you need the team, and real results to see yourself clearly. Cancer, close friends and partners need your skills and resources this winter. As you lend a hand you get more of yourself back. But be discerning — no whiny babies needed. Help the people who are there for you in a pinch. — Suzanne O’Clair is an astrologer of 40 years with a background in applied communication.

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.

The legal measure for Antiques & firewood in Washington Collectibles is the cord or a fraction of a cord.

Councilman leaves amid email controversy: David Ward submitted his resignation letter to the city Dec. 10. In it, the former Central Ward councilman made no mention of the public records lawsuit and settlement that forced his departure from the city council. Instead, he cited “health reasons” for quitting his post on the council. “Dear Council Members: I need to memorialize my resignation to city council. To this point, it has just been conveyed to you verbally. Effective immediately, I am resigning my position on the council for health reasons. While I have enjoyed serving the citizens of the Island, I need to give my full attention to my recovery.” Ward, who was three years into a four-year term, was forced to step down as part of a settlement agreement that ended a public records lawsuit against the city. Bainbridge agreed last week to pay a settlement totaling $487,790 to Althea Paulson and Bob Fortner, who filed a public records lawsuit against the city last
year after the city failed to provide emails that were sent between council members Ward, Councilman Steve Bonkowski and then-councilwoman Debbi Lester that focused on city business. A Superior Court judge ruled in May that the city did not do an adequate job of searching for the public records that were requested, and the decision including a scathing rebuke of Ward and Bonkowski for deleting emails from their personal email accounts that were public records. The judge also said the personal email accounts of Ward and Bonkowski could be searched for missing records, along with the hard drives of their personal computers. In the agreement, Ward agreed to step down while Bonkowski was spared from having to turn over his computer and email account for further inspection. Before the agreement was signed, Ward also admitted that evidence in the court case had been destroyed. His attorney said the computer that he had been using for his personal email account was owned by his employer, and the laptop had been returned upon his retirement
and had since been wiped clean. His lawyer also noted that Ward had given false information while under oath in the court case about his search for missing records. The city’s total cost of the lawsuit in legal fees and the settlement is $752,627. That amount does not include staff time at city hall and other internal costs for the court case. The settlement is expected to be paid early next year and will not be covered by the city’s insurance. Paulson again said Dec. 10 that she and Fortner are not planning to keep the settlement money. “We intend to give the proceeds to island nonprofits,” Paulson said. — BainbridgeReview.com
BREMERTON PATRIOT Humane Society awarded grant: It was just six weeks ago that Kitsap Humane Society celebrated a record-breaking 198 adoptions in just three days during the ASPCA Mega Match Adopt-a-thon. Now, the society is celebrating a $5,000 “bonus” grant, according to Rachel Lee Bearbower, Kitsap Humane Society marketing and event manager. Kitsap Humane Society became eligible for the prize when it cruised past its goal See AROUNDKITSAP, Page 19
Friday, December 19, 2014
AroundKitsap Continued from page 18
of 111 adoptions on day two of the three-day event. The ASPCA presented this prize to one organization in each category that exceeded its adoption goal by the greatest percentage in that category. Categories were based on shelter size and size of adoption goal. Kitsap Humane Society’s goal of 111 adoptions was chosen as it was three times the number of adoptions completed over the same weekend the year before. And even after that, record-breaking weekends haven’t slowed as the county’s shelter closed out Black Friday with 91 adoptions, said Bearbower. “We are in the business of saving lives and it is our goal to make it easy and fun for people to rescue,” said Natalie Smith, director of animal welfare. “Our community is doing the rest.” The bonus grant money will be used to support Kitsap Humane Society’s growing adoptions and other lifesaving programs. Kitsap Humane Society is a private, non-profit, charitable organization that has been caring for animals in need since 1908. KHS admits almost 5,000 animals per year and has a 95 percent lives saved rate. — BremertonPatriot.com
CENTRAL KITSAP REPORTER Teachers appreciated, but stressed out: Teachers and staff at Central Kitsap schools are highly appreciated but feel overworked, according to the results from the “Thoughtexchange” online survey which the district sponsored this year. Using the Thoughtexchange process, 4,104 people submitted 9,074 comments via a district web page. Later, they voted on their own ideas or for ideas submitted by other people by allocating “stars” to the submissions they liked best. A total of 115,924 stars were allocated. The data collection phase is over and final results will be posted on the district’s web site (www.cksd.wednet. edu) by the next CK school board meeting Jan. 14. But school board members got an early peek at the Thoughtexchange results last week. The summary showed that parents and guardians accounted for 65 percent of the responses. School staff accounted for 23 percent, students for six percent,
citizens for four percent and “other” for one percent. According to the data, around 40 percent of the total stars showed appreciation for teachers staff and leadership. “School environment” received the second-highest marks with around seven percent of the total stars. Teachers and staff “truly care about the children,” the report stated. The data also showed where the district needed improvement. Example: teachers and staff felt overworked. “All staff are overwhelmed,” according to the report. The issue was a top-scorer across nine different schools. About 11 percent of the stars regarded concerns about curriculum and extra-curricular activities, especially with Common Core and Common Core math. Class size, school safety, healthy eating, trouble with parking were also among the top concerns. — CentralKitsapReporter. com
NORTH KITSAP HERALD 105-foot-boat beaches in Liberty Bay: Ray Diehl woke to a stormy morning Dec. 9 at his waterfront home on the western shore of Liberty Bay. Diehl focused further off shore, though, and noticed the storm was at odds with the Queen of Sheba, a 105foot wooden yacht anchored in Liberty Bay. And the boat was losing. The record high wind of the morning of Dec. 9 was 37 miles per hour, at around 7:53 a.m. High tide was nearly 12 feet at 7:33 a.m. It was around that time that the Queen of Sheba’s anchor broke loose from the bay’s floor. The boat collided with a sailboat anchored in the bay, knocking that boat’s anchor loose. The sailboat was soon

Dancers perform during Bremerton’s Winterfest on Dec. 5 in the Harborside area of downtown. Behind them is the city’s Christmas tree which was lit by Mayor Patty Lent during the festivities. Santa also made an appearance. Luke Wesson blowing in the wind as well, trailing behind the Queen of Sheba. By 11:33 a.m., the yacht had dragged its anchor from south of the Port of Poulsbo’s marina, to the north of it, and it wasn’t slowing down. By 12:30 p.m., it had struck the muddy bottom of the bay, near Bovela Lane on the western shoreline. Poulsbo police officers went out in the police boat on Dec. 10 to check on the vessel, as the Queen of Sheba was still at the north end of Liberty Bay. Officers towed the boat out of Liberty Bay, under the impression that friends of the Queen of Sheba were coming to tow it further, ultimately to Port Townsend. Police took the vessel as far at Lemolo, just across from Keyport. But on the morning of Dec. 11, the Queen of Sheba was still off the shores of Lemolo, laying on its port side during low tide. On Dec. 12, the state’s Department of Natural Resources took control of the boat and towed it to the Port of Poulsbo.

PORT ORCHARD INDEPENDENT Mayor points to Bainbridge as lesson for emails: During the Dec. 9 Port Orchard City Council meeting, Mayor Tim Matthes asked council members to not use their business or personal email accounts for city business. The mayor said the city
can’t maintain control over council communications if council members are using business or personal email accounts. He urged council members to use their city email accounts for city business only. “We can’t afford not to — in my opinion — if we get a $500,000 judgment thrown at us for doing the various things we’ve done in the past,” Matthes said, referencing a case on Bainbridge
Island where a councilman was forced to resign and the city had to pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Bainbridge Review reported city officials signed a settlement agreement on Dec. 9 with two activists to end their public records lawsuit against the city in exchange for a nearly $500,000 payout and the resignation of Councilman David Ward. — PortOrchardIndependent.com
