Appointment of interim principal miffs teachers’ union

By SOPHIE BONOMI and RICHARD WALKER North Kitsap Herald

POULSBO — A representative of the North Kitsap Education Association said teachers had no input regarding the selection of an interim principal at North Kitsap High School.

And that proves their point made in a survey last fall, the rep said: Superintendent Patty Page doesn’t communicate with, seek input from,t or trust the judgment of those on the school level.

Riley Gustas named to Safety Patrol Hall of Fame POULSBO — Riley Gustas of Poulsbo Elementary School is the newest member of the AAA School Safety Patrol Hall of Fame.

Riley is being recognized for courage and leadership in school safety patrol.

Riley is among the top 10 outstanding patrollers in Washington state to be inducted in the 2016 Hall of Fame.

Riley will be recognized at an evening awards ceremony prior to the Seattle Mariners game at Safeco Field on May 14.

AAA Washington and a panel of judges from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the

Washington Traffic Safety Commission select top patrollers from schools across Washington each year and honor their accomplishments with induction into the AAA School Safety Patrol Hall of Fame.

Patrollers are evaluated and judged on their commitment to traffic safety, citizenship, leadership skills, and contributions to school safety patrol programs.

Nominations require input from both the patroller and their adviser, including responses to a series of essay questions. This year, the panel reviewed and evaluated nearly 50 nominations to determine the top 10 inductees.

WGU Washington is the state-endorsed affiliate of nationally-recognized Western Governors University (WGU).

Designed to meet the needs of busy working adults, WGU Washington’s competency-based model makes it possible for students to set their own study schedules and move quickly through material they already know so they can focus on what they still need to learn.

WGU’s online degree programs are considered rigorous and challenging, but adult learners are still able to earn their degrees without sacrificing work, family, and financial obligations. As a result, many students are able to accelerate their studies, finishing faster and saving money.

In the five years since state lawmakers established WGU Washington, the university’s enrollment has grown to more than 9,200 fulltime students.

‘Here, there is such a community’ 100s celebrate the opening of Village Green Community Center

The Village Green Community Center opened April 30. “We created this little miracle in our community and I’ve been proud to be a part of the whole process,” Mary McClure said. “This is Kingston.” Kingston resident Jill Pentzer, a transplant from Silverdale, said, “Here, there’s such a community. I’m really fortunate to be here.”

Clockwise from above, residents try out the computers in the new Kingston branch library.

Village Green Foundation member Bobbie Moore told the crowd, “It’s amazing how much we can accomplish when no one gets the credit. How do you explain this phenomenon?” A child plays in the children’s cove area of the library. Residents check out the local art on display.

IN OUR OPINION

Suquamish Tribe: a vital part of our safety net T

he Suquamish Tribe has gifted $5 million to local communities since 2007. This year, $481,482 was gifted to 253 organizations.

The funds come from Appendix X grants (Appendix X, section 14, of the gaming compact between the Suquamish Tribe and the State of Washington describes specific funds available for award to charitable, non-profit and Tribal community programs), as well as the Port Madison Enterprises Board of Directors Fund, Clearwater Casino Resort sponsorships and in-kind donations, and employee giving.

The giving helps support arts, education, health care, public safety, recreation programs, social services and other nonprofits that enhance our quality of life. The work of the recipients is celebrated at an annual Spirit of Giving dinner.

This spirit of giving speaks to the growing economic strength of the Suquamish Tribe; the Tribe was the seventh-largest public sector employer in Kitsap County in 2013, according to the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance, and its enterprises were the second-largest source of jobs in the county. But this spirit of giving also speaks to the Tribe’s culture of caring and sharing — a culture that is a vital part of our local safety net.

We raise our hands in thanks. Hy’sh’qa, Suquamish Tribe, for your generosity and your continued stewardship in your historical territory.

LETTERS High expectations for President Trump In response to one-liner from Paul Tweiten on page A4 of the April 29 Herald: Paul’s one-liner is not original; I heard that one-liner at an open-mike amateur comedy evening earlier this year. However, his thinking for his one-sentence “letter” contains two important aspects: The first is realizing that Trump will be President.

The second is the impeachment topic, where I find myself sympathizing with Paul — that is, if President Trump does not deliver on his promises to: “Strengthen the borders. Build a wall. Allow only legal immigration. Create a better health-care system. Take good care of our veterans. Create and bring jobs home. Make our military the best. No more dangerous deals with risky/hostile countries. Make and treat America first” and many more straight-talking proposals.

Like many men who get voted into power, it can be the lies that have secured their election. I have a deep intuitive sense that Trump has the strength and loyalty to stand by his new patriotic views and the will of his supporters.

I just wish Paul and his like-minded fans had seen the same impeachment urgency looming over us all during the last eight years .

Good luck with your career in comedy, Paul.

God bless America.

Start fixing morale problem in NKSD I am writing to address the recent survey North Kitsap teachers completed regarding satisfaction in the district.

The survey results shows a whopping 86 percent of teachers feel a lack of respect by Superintendent Page, and 80 percent give the district an overall poor rating, although support within their own schools and their school’s principal is high.

Beth Worthington, North Kitsap School Board president, was quoted as saying, “Generally, the board does not share Chris Fraser’s opinion that Superintendent Page has created a negative work environment resulting in low morale among teachers.” If the survey was done by all teachers in the district, this certainly isn’t just “Chris Fraser’s opinion.” In fact, it is the opinion of many parents, students, and citizens of North Kitsap, not just the teachers.

The board needs to get the message loud and clear that morale is extremely low in our district, and it’s our students that end up suffering if teachers leave for different districts. School board members are elected by us, and they need to take off their rose-colored glasses and start fixing the morale problems within the district.

I’m excited to hear the speaker, Sister Simone Campbell, speaking about ending poverty in America.

Sister Simone is the leader of the Nuns on the Bus, a group of nuns who travel America speaking on behalf of the poor.

RESULTS has strived 35 years to make the world a safer place for mothers and children. Since then, the number of mothers and children in our world dying of preventable causes has been cut by half. That’s good, but there are still too many dying: 289,000 mothers and 5.9 million children each year.

Thankfully, there is some great legislation underway to end this tragedy.

For example, the Reach Every Mother and Child Act specifically targets ending these deaths. This life-saving legislation has bi-partisan support in the House and the Senate. Most Washington state’s congressional delegation is co-sponsoring this bill. It is still awaiting action in committee. Your calls and letters can help our representatives know how important it is to pass this into law, specifically House Bill 3706 and Senate Bill 1911.

Another is the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. This fund has been working to control these three pandemics and made a positive impact in the last 15 years.

As it works by giving grants to over 150 countries for local solutions, it also boosts the health care systems of these countries. Thus, these countries will be more able to deal with problems, including helping their mothers and children have healthy lives.

The Global Fund has benefited from support from the USA and many other countries as well as private donors. In the fall the Global Fund will ask for another three-year funding cycle. Again, our calls and letters will help this to be successful.

Finally, the Summit for Nutrition See LETTERS, Page A5

Letters

Continued from page A4 in Rio was scheduled to coincide with the Olympics.

Close to half of all the children dying before their fifth birthday are casualties of malnutrition.

The Rio summit was set to address this tragedy with pledges from nations and private donors. Regrettably, because of problems in Brazil — economic, government and the Zika virus — this summit was canceled. This makes the other two initiatives all the more important and brings up the new global health threat: the Zika virus. Terrifyingly, it threatens mothers and children the most.

As the weather warms up

and the mosquitoes come north, will we in the U.S. be ready? Congress must fund the battle.

We the people — children of mothers all over the U.S. — have our work cut out for us. Calls or letters to our elected representatives to support these initiatives can make a life-and-death difference to mothers and children everywhere.

This Mother’s Day, let’s honor all moms by asking congress to pass the Reach Act, vigorously fund the Global Fund, and protect us from the Zika virus.

DIANA TYREE-EDDY Hansville

Supports efforts to reopen path Thank you for report-

NorthKitsapHerald.com

ing on the closure by the Kitsap County Public Works Department of the only footpath access to the public beach in northeast Suquamish (“Neighbors angered by foot path’s closure,” page A1, April 29 Herald).

My wife and I moved to Suquamish in February 2015. We noticed last year a private fence being installed with a locked gate closing off access to the property to the north. I assumed, at the time, that this was done for privacy and for securing one’s property rights.

Later, we saw a “stop work notice” from Kitsap County.

The notice stated the fence was installed without a permit. Also, sighting down James Street, I can see that the fence encroaches onto

the public right of way. I couldn’t confirm this then without having an engineering survey performed.

After seeing the notice, I thought that the fence would either be removed or, if it were an encroachment, be relocated to the property line along the James Street extension.

We were surprised to see from your article that the fence is still in place; and that, furthermore, a new chain link fence has been installed, effectively closing off all access to the beach!

I am also surprised that the new fence was installed

by Kitsap County Public Works.

We support the efforts of the Suquamish Citizens Advisory Committee to have the access reopened

Page A5

in compliance with Washington’s Shoreline Management Act. It is odd that the discussion of the closure did not make the March 18 meeting minutes — normally, we check these minutes when they are posted at the corner store. We will plan to attend the next SCAC meeting to hear of any progress on this matter.

Also, we support the efforts of the North Kitsap Trails Association (NKTA) to submit an application as mentioned in your article. I am not sure what is needed for the NKTA to proceed on this effort, and would appreciate any information you can give us.

Eye-opener

Continued from page A1 makeshift meth straw were found within a 5-foot radius on a forest trail leading to the park.

Kingston resident Toni Bourner walks local trails frequently. During a recent walk, her eyes were open to a new discovery — the drug problem in the community.

On May 3, Bourner took her daily walk, looping past the ferry landing and waterfront park and through the forest, listening to the birds sing high in the nests above.

She stopped to sit on the lawn next to a bench at the Village Green Park.

“I sat down and rested my hand on the grass,” she said. “And less than an inch away from my hand was the tip of a needle poking out of the ground. I was terrified.”

Miffed

Continued from page A1 North Kitsap Education Association, or NKEA, plan to meet May 5 to discuss their frustrations with what they felt was a lack of communication regarding Principal Judson Miller’s upcoming departure and the selection of his interim successor, according to Randy Powell, a North Kitsap High School teacher and lead building representative with the NKEA. A week earlier, on April 28, the NKEA presented to the school board the results of a survey, in which 77 percent of teachers said the overall working climate in the school district is negative.

While 85 percent said their work is “understood and valued” by their principals and that they “feel safe” speaking up about concerns at the building level, the results are opposite on the district level.

A majority of survey respondents reported not feeling comfortable making concerns known at the district level, and that they felt there is a huge disconnect with the district and that their work is not understood by the district.

In the survey, 79 percent of respondents said NKSD is not headed in the right direction; 57 percent said NKSD is not a good place to work.

Some 299 of 360 union members participated in the survey, conducted by

A hypodermic needle was found on a cinder block in the forested area between Village Green and the Billy Johnson Skate Park, May 4.

Sophie Bonomi / Herald Her first thought was of her children.

“I want to be there for my kids. That one needle could have gotten me — from someone else’s stupidity and disrespect. My daughter will be 16 in August.

She walks these trails with her friends, but you never know what someone who is

strung out is going to do.”

Ferguson learned of the incident when she knocked on Bourner’s apartment door.

“We talked for a long time,” Ferguson said. “We both have sons that are autistic. And when Toni brought this drug issue to my attention, I knew some-

the union last fall.

“Most of our principals are the only administrators who have any understanding of our issues and our concerns,” NKEA President Chris Fraser said in a press release about the survey results. “We’re worried about the pressure they are under and we plan to stand with them and for them to advocate for positive changes at the district level.”

Page said April 29 that the survey was conducted in the fall as the district and union were negotiating a new contract. “That’s where the timing was in this survey,” she said.

“I’m not going to tell you there are not morale issues,” Page said. “We’ve had lots of things happen — a school closure, budget issues. We’ve intensified the focus on student learning. All those things cause angst but we are making great progress. We have great teachers and principals and district office leaders, and we are taking care of students better than we have before.”

She added, “There is a belief that there is topdown leadership. I am the superintendent, and I’m not going to shy away from that.”

She doesn’t believe morale today is as bad as the survey would indicate.

“A very high percent” of teachers voted to ratify the contract, she said.

The district has increased staffing, lowered class sizes, and invested more

in professional development. A budget surplus will enable to district to pay for new heating and air conditioning units and a new roof at Kingston Middle School and to weather a decrease in the property tax levy from 28 to 24 percent in 2018.

‘THE FACULTY IS KIND OF UPSET’

Powell, the lead building rep, said May 4 that the staff at NKHS were informed that morning by Page, Assistant Superintendent Chris Willits and Jeff Sweeney, executive director of teaching and learning that they’d selected a new interim principal for next year, “and they’ve done that without any input from the faculty, so the faculty’s kind of upset.”

At 8:35 a.m. that morning, Page sent the following email to district staff members and parents:

Page A7

thing had to be done.”

Twenty-four hours later, the two women joined together to make a difference.

“Yesterday, I gave myself a goal — 24 hours to fix the problem,” Ferguson said.

In that time, Ferguson contacted the Kitsap Public Health District and the sheriff’s department, and scheduled a walk to sweep the trails for drugs.

“I’m contacting people,” Ferguson said. “It’s children, it’s adults, it’s lives that matter. I know what’s going on and I want the word out. Children need to be [safe] outside.”

Bourne, who has spent years giving talks on autism, said her passion has been ignited in fighting this issue.

“Yesterday lit a fire,” she said. “I knew I had to do something. I will do whatever it takes to make sure my kids and other kids are

safe.”

She is exploring ways to give talks to the kids of the community about the hazards of drugs, or at least, finding solutions of how to dispose of them properly.

“This is important.

I know a lot of kids and teenagers around here ...

If we can get the word out to schools and the Boys & Girls Club, [that] it’s not the choice to go down this road. I know people who have gone down that hard road but they need to know there is help out there. There’s a better life for them than what is going on here right now.”

Less than a mile down the forested trail from the Billy Johnson Skate Park, Bourner said drug deals and prostitution are common.

“My son built the most amazing fort by our apartment, but then a meth head started squatting there.

Finally, I had to go out there with my son and take it down. It was just too close to home,” she said.

In Bourner’s Facebook post from 8:10 a.m. May 4, just hours before her trail sweep to pick up drug paraphernalia, 28 different comments were made regarding her post about drugs in Kingston.

“The garden at Village Green is right there,” she said. “We have this beautiful new park that everyone loves to play at but parents are in fear from these things. I don’t want Kingston to go down hill because of drugs. It’s an epidemic that needs to be taken care of.”

Ferguson added, “We need to let people know the seriousness of this,” “It’s time for people to get out there and let their voices to be heard.”

“It is with mixed emotions that we announce Judson Miller, Principal of North Kitsap High School, will be leaving North Kitsap at the end of June. He has accepted the position of principal at Hellgate High School in Missoula, Montana. We are excited for Judson and we wish him all the best in his new adventure. Judson has been the principal of NKHS for five years and his leadership has transformed the school. He will be missed, but his work will continue. We would like to thank Judson for the difference he has made in North Kitsap.

“With the departure of Judson, we are pleased to announce that Megan Sawicki, assistant director of teaching and learning, will be the Interim Principal for North Kitsap High School for the 201617 school year. Megan

is currently responsible for the district’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) program, as well as counseling, athletics and music. Prior to Megan stepping in to her current role, she had been an assistant principal in both North Kitsap and Kingston high schools for the previous five years.”

In the press release about the survey results, Fraser said she hopes the rank and file will have a voice in who

the next superintendent is; Page is under contract through summer 2017. “We expect the district to publicly address our concerns and, as we begin the search for a new superintendent, we must look for a leader who understands and advocates to improve learning conditions for students as they deserve a high-quality education. Our goal continues to be to make North Kitsap schools a great place to learn, live and work.”

City impounds unpermitted sandwich board signs

By TERRYL ASLA

tasla@northkitsapherald.com

POULSBO — There’s a large and growing stack of sandwich boards at the City of Poulsbo public works yard, 780 NE Iverson St. “These are just the ones our crews have picked up along Highway 305,” Public Works Superintendent Mike Lund said of the signs, which had been placed without permits and were confiscated by the city.

“The owners can come pick them up anytime. There’s no fine or anything. But [the signs] need to have permit stickers on them if the owners want to put them out again.”

Sandwich boards that are going to be displayed more than 14 days a year are considered permanent display signs and need a permit sticker. So you needn’t worry about getting a permit sticker for that sign advertising a

weekend garage or rummage sale.

The city has required permits since 2013.

Originally, the permits cost $50, but now the permit stickers are free. They are good from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31 and must be renewed annually. Just fill out the application form that can be downloaded at www.cityofpoulsbo.com/planning/ sandwichboardsigns.htm.

The site clearly spells out requirements

POULSBO VILLAGE NORTH KITSAP ’S SHOPPING CENTER

regarding quantity, size, location and hours the sandwich signs can be displayed, so read the online brochure and FAQ at the website carefully before you spend money having a sandwich board sign made.

Impounded sandwich boards await their owners at the Poulsbo Public Works yard on Iverson Street.

NK’s third straight baseball title Vikings edge punchless PA for league crown

Finnell named First Team AllConference BELLINGHAM — Joe Finnell of Kingston, a midfielder for Western Washington University, earned placement on First Team All-Conference May 3.

Finnell is a junior studying computer science at WWU in Bellingham. His family moved to Kingston last year.

PORT ANGELES — Curan Bradley singled, Eathen Boyer walked and Ben Basden reached on an error.

That isn’t enough offense to beat North Kitsap, but it’s all that Port Angeles mustered in its 2-0 loss to the Vikings in a showdown for the Olympic League 2A Division crown at Civic Field on May 3.

North Kitsap pitcher Kole Milyard pitched all seven innings to notch his second shutout of Port Angeles this season. He allowed one hit, struck out four and walked one.

But he wasn’t completely unhittable. The Roughriders put the ball in play and there were several hard-hit balls that were tracked down by Vikings outfielders.

“We did barrel some balls here and there, but we just [got out],” Port Angeles coach Vic Reykdal said.

“And that’s baseball. You never really know. If you get a couple of those to

drop, maybe you get something going.

“All in all, it wasn’t our best day at the plate, that’s for sure.”

Bradley, Boyer and Basden were Port Angeles’ only base runners of the game, and neither moved past first.

Milyard had a no-hitter going until Bradley’s bloop single with one out in the sixth inning. Bradley was then thrown out trying to steal second.

For most of the game, the Riders were stuck in that awkward spot between being patient and being aggressive, wanting to drive up Milyard’s pitch count while also swinging

Kingston tightens its hold on league soccer title SEQUIM — Sequim defeated North Kitsap 1-0 on April 28, helping tighten Kingston’s grip on the top of the Olympic League boys soccer standings.

Two days earlier, Kingston dominated Olympic 7-0 to improve to 8-1-0, 11-1-0. The Buccaneers followed up with a win over Port Angeles on April 30, and

then shut out North Mason 7-0 on May 3.

Kingston (10-1-0, 13-11) and North Kitsap (8-3-0, 8-3-2) were scheduled to meet at 6:45 p.m.

at good pitches.

But first-pitch strikes put the Riders behind in the count, and then Milyard kept pounding the strike zone.

“Early in the game, they were letting the first pitch go by,” Milyard said. “So I let them give up that first pitch. It was good to have the strike.

“Then, I don’t know, they maybe knew I was coming back with another strike, and they’d swing at that.”

Milyard got out of four of the seven innings throwing eight pitches or less, and threw only 73 overall.

“We just didn’t adjust to him very well,” Reykdal said.

“We’ve taken the approach where we want to look at some pitches early and get pitch counts on pitchers, but we also talk about if the guy’s throwing strikes, then we got to get out and get on top of it.

“And we really didn’t make that adjustment in this game. We kept getting behind on counts, and then you’ve got to kind of go into that two-strike approach, and we just never really hit the ball.”

Bradley started for Port Angeles and reached 70 pitches in four innings.

He struck out the first two batters he faced but then struggled with control until being relieved by Janson

Pederson before the fifth inning.

Bradley allowed runs in the first and third innings, but other than that was able to keep the Vikings off the scoreboard.

“Curan struggled a little bit, but I got to give the kid credit,” Reykdal said.

“For him not being as sharp as he’s been . . . his curveball wasn’t working very good, you know, to get us through and get us out with just two runs was great on his part.

“And Jansy comes in and he does the job and he keeps them down.

NKHS sailing team heads to nationals in Charleston After two years down, underdogs rise to the top

POULSBO — Ask North Kitsap High School’s sailing team members, and they will tell you racing sailboats is not an easy task.

For the district fleet racing champions, they say the freedom they feel flying over the water, combined with the intellectual and physical challenges of intense sailing, will prepare

them to win the national fleet racing championships, competing against the top 20 fleet racing teams in the nation, to take home the Mallory Trophy in Charleston, South Carolina, on May 15.

“I tell my team, racing sailboats is like flying an airplane, while playing chess with a firehouse sprayed in your face,” sailing coach Hayley Siegenthaler said.

She sailed for NKHS 15 years prior, and heard those same words from her coach.

“It takes quite a bit of strength to do all of this stuff,” she said. “Racing

takes physical and mental strength. Being athletic and intellectual will get you far in sailing.”

Siegenthaler volunteered to coach the sailing team two years ago. Established nearly 20 years ago, the NKHS team, previously one of the most successful teams in the district, was disbanded in 2014.

“Liberty Bay is just too good of a place not to have a sailing team,” Siegenthaler said. “I couldn’t imagine not having [former coach Matt Mikkelborg’s] legacy continue.”

In 2015, after a year gap, the team got underway

“That year, a rebuilding process began under the leadership of team alumni,” co-coach Stasi Burzycki said.

A former sailor for Bainbridge High School, Burzycki combined his knowledge with Siegenthaler’s to help build the team up again.

Now, the team of 16 members (composed of members from North Kitsap and Kingston high schools) recently won the fleet district championships. The coaches say this is a great story about underdogs that See SAILING, Page A16

Dear Mr. Stephen McFadden: This publication should serve as notice to you that I will be petitioning the Kitsap District Court to change the last names of Joshua McFadden and Naomi McFadden to Hansen.

Sailing

Continued from page A13 made it.

“Last year was like our pre-adolescent growth year for us,” Siegenthaler said. “It’s been a work in progress but we picked it back up, and they’re all very committed.”

The team, comprised of

mostly seniors and freshman, spend evenings practicing on Liberty Bay from Monday to Thursday and traveling to regattas on most weekends. They say sailing isn’t just a sport, it’s a way of life.

“I love the sport,” said Maddie Ekin, varsity gold fleet senior sailor.

“To be outside and on the water — especially fleet rac-

ing — it’s you and the boat, it’s freeing and calming for me.”

Ekin said her experience with the high school sailing team is only the beginning of a career on the water.

“I’m going into the Coast Guard,” she said. “Their women’s academy is the best in the nation right now.”

Julia Sherry, a freshman

gold fleet member, said her third-grade teacher “got her into it.”

“I’ve lived on the water my whole life,” she said. “I love to watch people sail.”

Siegenthaler agreed.

“My high school sailing coach taught me so much about not just sailing, but life,” Siegenthaler said. “I am eternally grateful for everything he did for both myself and all of my sailing friends.

“Kids make life connec-

tions with this sport. I’m 30 years old and some of my best friends are from high school sailing camp.”

The varsity gold fleet — seniors Liam Sherry and Maddie Ekin, and freshmen Anna Sherry, Julia Sherry, Morgan Chapman and Alaina Marcotte — will join their coaches in traveling to Charleston, South Carolina to compete in the national fleet championships on May 14-15.

The sailors agree they aren’t nervous but they have a lot of work to do to compete with the robust East Coast sailing culture.

“We have a lot of practice between now and then,” Burzycki said.

The team is fundraising to get to Charleston. With a cost of $10,000 for travel expenses for the team, they have set up a gofundme account.

POULSBO — At 9 a.m.

May 4, Poulsbo artist Bryan Woodford paid his $40 entry fee and picked up his time-stamped canvas at Artists’ Edge, 18723 Highway 305.

By 10 a.m., he had his easel set up in Muriel Iverson Williams Waterfront Park and had already roughed in the scene he is painting of the shore and boardwalk for Paint Out Poulsbo.

Out Poulsbo — P.O.P. — a “en plein air” art event

sponsored by the Peninsula Music & Arts Society.

The artists have just 96 hours to complete their art works and turn them in atNorthwest College of Art and Design, 16301 Creative Drive NE, where they will be part of a juried exhibition.

The artists’ creations will be on display at NCAD from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 7, accompanied by live music by local groups. The exhibit is open to the public and admission is free. During this time, the art works will be judged by Poulsbo artists Robin Weiss and Leigh Knowles. At 3 p.m., firstand second-place winners will be announced in five categories: Professional, Amateur, Student/College, Student 12-18 years and Student 5-11 years.

Net proceeds from entry fees and donations will go to help fund art and music programs for children, said Inez Schwartz, society treasurer.

“We provide funds that help children’s dreams come true. There’s talent out there that needs to be encouraged, and that’s what it is all about.”

Woodford, an artisan woodworker who moved to Poulsbo from Taos, New Mexico, two years ago, said he hopes Paint Out Poulsbo becomes an annual event.

“This event can draw a lot of people and creative talent to what is already a vibrant little arts town,” he said.

Peninsula Music & Arts Society is a nonprofit group interested in the arts and promoting them in the community. The society awards scholarships to North Kitsap school seniors who plan to pursue education in the arts, and contributes to various nonprofit organizations involved in the arts.

Local sponsors for P.O.P. include Artists’ Edge, NCAD, and Langlois Pianos of Bremerton.

Actor Ronny Cox: Storytelling ‘is an opiate for me’

OLALLA — Ronny Cox is best known to moviegoers as a versatile motion picture and television actor who first rose to fame playing sensitive, but doomed, canoeist Drew in the haunting thriller “Deliverance” in 1973.

That breakthrough role propelled him into a four-decade career in films and television, playing such characters as villain Dick Jones in “RoboCop” and Vilos Cohaagen in “Total Recall.”

Cox is grateful for his successful career as an actor, a profession he says he loves. But the amiable New Mexico native explains that his gig as a singer and storyteller — well, he just loves it more.

“For me, I’m a storytell-

Phil Konstantin / With permission er,” Cox said by phone a few weeks ago while traveling through Milwaukee on his way to another performance.

“The kind of show I do offers a possibility of a pro-

found one-on-one sharing that can take place (with the audience). That’s an opiate for me that’s undeniable.”

Playing music occupies up to 90 percent of Cox’s

time. Working between 75 to 100 music gigs each year, he says he’ll take an occasional acting role, so long as it doesn’t interfere with his scheduled concert dates.

“I will not change a music gig,” Cox says. “I don’t care how big a movie or television show is, I just won’t do it if it gets in the way of the music.”

That’s particularly important, considering the money to be made playing folk concerts doesn’t begin to match what an established, well-known actor can earn.

“Someone wanting me for a movie role asked what the concert promoter was paying me for a concert. I said, ‘I think I have more money in my pocket than what they’re paying me!’

“I want my show to feel like you’re sitting in your living room or on the front porch and sharing music with family and friends.” — Ronny Cox, actor, singer and storyteller Cox

Continued from page 2 “I’m not rich, but I have enough money to make it possible to play.”

Cox’s secondary career in music has been overshadowed by his showcase of 150 movies and television show appearances since the early 1970s. But his musical career began way before the acting bug bit.

As a teenager, he cut records in Clovis, New Mexico, which then, was what Cox said was a “hotbed of recording” in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Buddy Holly cut his seminal song “Peggy Sue” at Norman Petty Studios in Clovis, and other popular music acts such as Roy Orbison and Waylon Jennings followed suit.

“I grew up listening to Texas Swing music, including Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys,” he said. “Being in the Southwest, I was influenced by its country music roots.”

His stint as a member of a rock and roll band helped pay his way through Eastern New Mexico University, where he majored in theater and speech. His music career also helped him and his new wife, Mary, navigate some financially lean years while she earned her graduate degree at Georgetown in Washington, D.C., and Cox began acting on stage in the nation’s capitol.

“I worked at folk clubs there, including the Cellar Door and Mr. Henry’s,” he said. “When we went to New York so Mary could do her post-doctorate work, I started doing Broadway and off-Broadway performances. Still, I played music around town.”

Other than his late beloved wife, performing in a musical setting and telling stories is his true love. “No matter what kind of acting you do — television, movies, plays, you name it — there is, and must be, this imaginary fourth wall between you and the audience. You can’t step through the camera and talk to the audience.”

But on stage as a singer

and storyteller, he’s afforded that chance. Cox wants his show to offer listeners an intimacy as well as an opportunity to engage in dialogue.

“I want my show to feel like you’re sitting in your living room or on the front porch and sharing music with family and friends.”

To encourage that intimate feeling, Cox said he likes to perform with the house lights up. He said it’s important that I see the audience and witness the effect that (the music) is having on them.

Even though his musical tastes were shaped by his Southwest upbringing, Cox hesitates when asked to classify the songs that move him.

“These days I guess I’m a folkie, but it’s really hard to say. Mostly, it’s eclectic,” he said. “I heard a definition of folk that

anything I’ve experienced other than being with Mary.”

He chuckled, then said in a voice as believable as the characters he’s played as an actor: “My goal is to die on stage. It’s that much fun for me.”

Ronny Cox, live in Olalla Singer-storyteller Ronny Cox will share his eclectic mix of folk music and storytelling on May 7 at the Olalla Community Club.

Cox, best known as a motion picture and television actor who co-starred in the groundbreaking film “Deliverance,” “RoboCop” and hundreds of other films and TV shows, has been a musical performer and guitarist since he was in high school.

Ronny Cox recalls his first big break: ‘Deliverance’ ‘I’ve been a very lucky man and have had a great career ‘

BY BOB SMITH rsmith@soundpublishing.com Ronny Cox joined fellow unknown actor Ned Beatty and then-obscure co-stars Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight in 1972 to prepare for filming “Deliverance,” a haunting thriller about four suburban Atlantans in a death struggle against a raging river and two brutal men deep within the Georgia woods.

Each actor was brought in by director John Boorman for his own unique on-screen persona, but the actors’ best attribute was that they were virtual unknowns.

Cox, who performs in an eclectic-folk and storytelling concert May 7 at the Olalla Community Club in Olalla, said he fit Boorman’s requirements perfectly: “Boorman came to New York looking for

Ronny Cox in his role as ill-fated businessman Drew Ballinger in the terrifying backwoods thriller “Deliverance.”

Courtesy photo good unknown actors, and God knows I was unknown,” he said of his fledgling acting career at that time.

The four leading roles in the film were a coveted commodity in Hollywood.

But Boorman, Cox said, insisted on unknowns because of the film’s precarious, uncertain storyline.

actors. And with actors who are well-known, the audience is led to believe they won’t get killed in the picture. He didn’t want any character to be judged safe,” Cox said.

There was one other skill crucial for Cox’s selection to play sensitive, moralistic Drew: he could play the guitar, as did the character in some of the film’s most integral scenes.

The film’s rugged, outdoorsy story line was a challenge for the actors.

Before shooting began (it was one of those rare films to be shot in sequence), the four were put through six weeks of rigorous canoe practice learning to steer the vessel and eventually to ride the river’s fierce rapids. For Cox, that wasn’t his only challenge: “Deliverance” was his first time ever acting in front of a camera.

The only scene that wasn’t shot sequentially was perhaps the movie’s most memorable, where Cox’s character Drew engages in a bit of musical dueling between his guitar and a local boy playing his banjo. It became an enduring highlight because of the crafty, teasing interplay between the musicians and their instruments.

The imagery of the grinning, in-bred boy with fingers that flashed along the banjo strings, and Cox’s character Drew finally throwing up his hands in surrender, was a scene stunning in its authenticity and connection between two cultures.

Except for one thing, Cox said. “I wasn’t playing

the tune during filming and Billy Joe Redden, the young boy, couldn’t play the banjo. The song was pre-recorded and we matched the playback on film.”

It was a grueling process shot over three days.

In a book Cox wrote about his experience acting in the film, “Dueling Banjos: The Deliverance of Drew,” the scene of the boy sitting on a porch swing was manipulated so that another youngster who could play reached around from behind Redden’s back to finger the banjo strings. A prop man boosted the youngster so he could reach the instrument.

While the movie role helped raise Cox’s profile as an up-and-coming film actor, he inadvertently left money on the table when he declined an invitation to record his part in “Dueling Banjos” for a soundtrack album released after the film’s debut. Since the recording session for what would become a No. 1 best-selling song took place at the beginning of filming, Cox was more interested in getting in more canoe practice on the rapids.

And how much did he forego for a half-day of canoe practice? “Probably a million dollars,” Cox laughed.

But the four actors needed every minute for practice, because much of the film was shot on the water.

Without stunt men to handle the dangerous river runs, Cox and his fellow actors were at the mercy of

the rapids.

“It was very difficult to shoot,” Cox said. “We did all of that canoeing ourselves. I almost drowned once, and Jon Voight and I broke four or five canoes in half. I don’t think John (Boorman) really knew how dangerous the waves really were. And as dangerous as they were, if you got in trouble, there was no way anybody could help you.”

Needing complete concentration to maneuver the canoes, Cox said it sometimes was hard to remember he was doing a film. “When you’re in a canoe, there’s no acting,” he laughed. “You’re just working to keep yourself alive.”

That realism on the water made “Deliverance” a gripping, harrowing celluloid adventure. And as real as those scenes on the rapids were, the unsettling rape scene in which a mountain man attacks Ned Beatty’s character Bobby is still shocking when viewed today.

“It was almost too shocking for audiences in those days,” Cox said. “You see, women got that a whole lot sooner than did men.

They’ve had to deal with that possibility for ages.

This scene was really the first time a bunch of men had to deal with that concept and face their own vulnerabilities.”

The stage-trained actor who got his first big break with “Deliverance” doesn’t underestimate its career-defining importance. “What it has meant to me is that almost all the other movies and television roles I’ve done since then is as a result of that terrific film.”

“Deliverance” also made him one of the busiest actors working in the film industry. In a business survey of the top 100 actors in the world during the mid-1980s through the late 1990s, Cox was ranked 49th based on factors such as the amount of revenue his films earned.

About a decade after playing Drew in “Deliverance,” Cox played a series of what he called “really nice Boy Scout-type guys.” But an against-type casting switch was nearly as instrumental to Cox’s career — his role playing bad guy Dick Jones in the movie “RoboCop.” It

opened new acting avenues for him.

“When I got to play the villain in that movie, I then got offered everything,” he said. “One of the things that happens is that I had this history of being the nice guy, so when you play the villain, that makes you twice as bad.”

Other pivotal roles followed in Cox’s well-respected filmography, including key parts in “Beverly Hills Cop,” “The Onion Field,” “Bound For Glory,” and television roles in “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” “St. Elsewhere,” and Steven Bochco’s “Cop Rock.”

Now that Cox has mostly left acting behind to sing and perform at small concert gigs (Cox estimates he performs up to 100 concerts a year), he’s become selective at age 77 about film or television roles that are offered to him. “I won’t take on a role if it conflicts with a concert date,” Cox said.

The only part of his life that is bittersweet is that his beloved wife Mary isn’t here. She passed away nine years ago; it was a blow to Cox, who met his future wife when she was 9 and he was 14. They later became high school sweethearts and supported each other through their early career struggles — he as a stage actor and she as a graduate student.

Mary later earned a Ph.D and did post-doctoral work at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

“Mary had two kids, got her Ph.D and then a postdoc,” Cox reminisced. “She was a remarkable woman and the most intelligent human being I’ve ever known.”

The couple had two sons, Brian and John, who Cox said are “computer nerds” and work as software programmers in the entertainment industry.

But, like their father, both are also musicians.

Cox said he’s been a lucky man. “I’ve been very lucky and have had a great career. I can honestly say that in my career, either as an actor or a musician, I’ve never had a single day that I dreaded going to work.”

Lucky, indeed.

Washington’s Syrah still shines A

s interest in Syrah (and Shiraz, as it’s called in Australia) has diminished the past few years, Washington Syrah continues to hold steady and even increase.

Last fall, Washington winemakers crushed 16,000 tons of Syrah — the most ever. This is up from 8,000 tons just 10 years ago.

In fact, this spring marks the 30th anniversary of the first Syrah being planted in Washington, when it went into the soil

at Red Willow Vineyard in the western Yakima Valley.

Syrah is the third-most-popular red wine grape in Washington, after Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. And it is No. 5 overall, with Chardonnay and Riesling being the top white wine grapes.

Here are several superb

Syrahs, all of which earned gold medals at this spring’s Cascadia Wine Competition. Ask for them at your favorite wine merchant or contact the wineries directly.

■ Pondera Winery 2012 Stillwater Creek Syrah, Columbia Valley, $38: Woodinville winemaker Shane Howard has been crafting wine for his Pondera brand since 2005.

This luscious Syrah offers aromas of dark chocolate, ripe plum and black cherry, followed by flavors

of ripe blackberry and crushed dried herbs. It’s all backed by juicy acidity and firm tannins. (14.3 percent alcohol) ■ Barili Cellars 2013 Syrah, Rattlesnake Hills, $24: Based in Spokane, this winery brought in grapes from Dineen Vineyard in the Rattlesnake Hills district of the Yakima Valley. The resulting wine is filled with aromas of toasted oak, smoked ham and plum reduction sauce, followed by flavors of dried salami, maple syrup and boysenberry sauce. It is a complex yet approachable red. (14.2 percent alcohol) ■ Davenport Cellars 2012 Syrah, Columbia Valley, $28: Jeff and Sheila Jirka set up their winery in Woodinville in 2007, and this luscious Syrah is a great example for their progression. Its theme of smoked sausage, dried herbs, ripe Bing cherry and dark chocolate shavings is gorgeous and generous as dark fruit flavors are backed with

complex acidity and moderate tannins. (14.9 percent alcohol) ■ William Grassie Wine Estates 2013 Liberation Syrah, Columbia Valley, $35: Owner/winemaker Bill Grassie produces his wines in Woodinville.

Aromas of blackberry cobbler, lightly toasted oak and a hint of black licorice gives way to flavors of racy dark fruit, dark chocolate and espresso, all backed by just-right tannins that lead to a memo-

rable finish. (14.3 percent alcohol) ■ L’Ecole No 41 2013 Syrah, Columbia Valley, $25: L’Ecole No. 41, the Walla Walla Valley’s famous schoolhouse winery, had compiled a consistent record of A-list Syrah over decades. Fresh game, plum, blueberry and blackberry aromas lead off, followed by more of the same fruit as flavors, leading to well-managed blueberry tannins and See WINES, Page 9

Eight good reasons to tour gardens in Kitsap GARDEN LIFE

FINAL RACE DRAWING

ight is your lucky number if you like touring gardens.

For the next three months, there are eight splendid garden tours around Kitsap County worth a visit. Soon it will be time to saunter down those glorious, weed-free paths of gardens that have been primped and preened to perfection.

Kitsap County has some of the most prestigious and renowned gardens, along with many remarkable home gardens. The tours feature properties ranging from large estates to small gardens, from cottage gardens to edible gardens.

I have to admit that I’ve been on many of these garden tours over the years. On tour day, I’m as restlessly excited as a cat

Debbie Teashon

rolling around in a bed of catnip. Delightfully entertained by a day touring gardens, I feel like a spy when it comes to peeking into a backyard oasis to discover what they have growing.

Garden tours are entertaining. Plant- and peoplewatching is all part of the tour day for me. It’s easy

to strike up a conversation with a stranger standing next to you admiring the same plants. I’ve swapped many garden stories, and enthusiastically nodded my head in response to another person’s common experience.

Most often, I hide behind my camera, where See GARDENS, Page 11

Gardens

A shady side garden path leads to the back in the Hegnes garden during the Gig Harbor Garden Tour.

Continued from page 10 eavesdropping is fun. I may be focusing in on a plant I am about to photograph, but I still hear what others are saying. Many opinions abound, and much like a seed packet of wildflowers, they contain a grand mixture of differing views. We gardeners sow them freely.

Who doesn’t enjoy a garden with a million-dollar view and expensive hardscapes? Yet, even the most tight-budgeted, homeowner-designed gardens on the tours are sometimes the most charming. It’s easy to spot the ones that echo the gardener’s soul.

Although it’s often said there is nothing new under the sun, tours provide many examples of something innovative or creative. Whether it be repurposing normal objects or in staging a group of plants, I usually come away from a tour wondering: What in the world is that plant, and why isn’t it growing in my garden?

Homeowners are usual-

ly on hand to answer questions about their garden.

Be sure to bring a pad of paper to jot down notes.

Take your camera to photograph everything that

appeals to you. Be sure to ask first before you take photos; there are a few who may restrict photography in their garden.

Enjoy yourself and be

sure to thank your host when given the opportunity.

FRIDAY, MAY 6, 2016

Do yourself some good and dance a dance of life won’t work, but it goes smoother than you expect if expectations are realistic. After May 9, connect with guardian angels; prayers fly off like arrows on a mission. Take a deep breath. Ask for help.

Scorpio, in partnerships there is love, receptivity, expression, and communication. What is flowing from them to you?

If this isn’t happening, are you blocking it? Adjust as needed — it’s a new story.

If some good buddies are sucking up the energy, let them go. Find your collaborators.

Sagittarius, what’s your body say? More rest? Less fast food? Take time to review recent changes. On May 9, your planet Jupiter takes small steps forward to do your bidding at work. Drop in on colleagues, your peers and above. There’s cosmic interference for big actions. Stay steady.

Capricorn, anxiety about God knows what runs high. Give it a break and focus on what’s in front of you. It might flip into fun. A simple week end get-away with a close friend or lover reminds you of your creativity.

Long, slow walking with

the dog through nature helps you even out, too.

Aquarius, phone home.

What’s happening there?

A big remodel, or a psychological check-in that needs attention. Home isn’t your normal arena but it won’t be as bad as you think. Do family patterns keep tripping you up? Figure it out this time.

Your broader network is pretty sleepy for the moment.

Pisces, Taurus takes your sweetness and turns it into conscious communication. Check in with siblings, neighbors, your barista and hair dresser ... all those in your daily path that can be so ordinary.

Speak with awareness and it’s sublime. After May 9, some dreams get legs and walk into reality.

Aries, money, honey.

Work, status and prestige pay off. If it hasn’t hit the bank account, stay steady and don’t give up. Fine tune your approach but stay with it — that’s hard advice for a fast-moving Ram. (Sorry!) Remember your goal and keep your eye on the ball — and the bank account.

Coleburg, Dickinson, Soifer featured poets May 7 at Poulsbohemian

During college at Oberlin, Ohio, she performed with the Oberlin Steel Drum Band. Later, she released her first CD, “Walking With Love,” covering seven genres of music in 12 original songs.

Dickinson has been featured soloist at New Thought churches and performed as guest comedienne for Live Girls Comedy Cabaret. Her poems have appeared in Poetry Corners, Ars Poetica, and on Kitsap cable TV via San Carlos poetry readings.

Soifer is a transplant from Cambridge, Massachusetts, now living in Suquamish and watching eagles. She worked for years with veterans and in social actions for peace.

Working in the intersection of art and the marginalized informs Soifer’s work.

Teaching workshops and classes, Soifer discovers, again and again, how her students can knock her socks off.

ive long and prosper” is a Taurean blessing. This new moon (12:30 p.m. PDT May 6) comes packing a burst of positive energies toward aligning us with that goal.

Taurus is simplicity itself. Slow down. Take care of Life. Help others through. Tend to Mother Earth and her critters. Do what needs to be done to keep the body together.

Good food, good rest, hang with a friend, relish your family, work with nature. Create sustainable beauty out of necessity.

Life can be that simple.

Taurus rules possessions and values, and surely, our most valuable possessions are our bodies and our planet Earth. Without either, we don’t get to play the game of life. So you would think that caring for both would be a priority?

The shadow side of Taurus’ love of life is death. We spend work hours producing, moving and selling products that are dangerous to us

POULSBO — Ray Coleburg, Lucy Dickinson and Carmi Soifer headline

and the planet. Then, we spend the money (we traded for with our life’s time and energy) to consume what we know poisons us.

We overwork and under rest, eat fake food and indulge in addictive behaviors. We are complicit in our own demise!

The accountability lies in our poor bodies struggling through the day.

Bodies have their tells and cannot lie. So, what is your body telling you?

The other earth signs, Virgo and Capricorn, join Taurus’ song to life this new moon while Mercury moon-dances backward across the floor. Slow down. Figure out what you want to spend your precious life’s time and energy on. Spring clean your bodies, gardens and homes, and sweep out misplaced values. Get real about your Life. Wake up!

The merry month of May invites us to dance a dance of life — a long and prosperous one.

Daphne is a 4 yr old medium haired dilute calico who came to

us when the landlord changed his mind about allowing her in her owner’s apartment. She had traveled all the way from Texas with her. Daphne is a very friendly chatty girl who likes to be with people. She likes to be petted and brushed. She was ok with the cats she met at the Cattery but prefers not to share her people or space with them. She is at the Poulsbo Petco this week.

Continued from page 18 Soifer has won national contests, awards and residencies. She said she is delighted to share her poems at the venerable Poulsbohemian.

RAY COLEBURG Appletime September has been warm, yet the grass grows.

Mowing is work I can still do, But rather not in the glare of midday, So I start early, following the shade.

By the time I’m at the old apple tree I am wiping my brow, Thankful for this sign of usefulness And the gentle glory of morning.

Early apples have fallen.

I throw them into a pail for the horse, But after the first few I know They deserve more than a careless toss.

For as I hold them in my hand, they share With me the recent coolness of the night Which they have held in their hearts Like some lovely, cherished

memory.

Wildflower Moment It’s summer, I’m up on the shoulders Of Mount Rainier, walking a trail Through the high meadows.

Breathing in the redolence of Warm conifer pitch as I step out From a stand of Alpine fir And into an open clearing.

Just ahead in the near distance, Is a pillowy profusion of wild flowers, Red paintbrush and blue lupine Capped by the white blossoms of bistort.

What is remarkable just now, at this distance, Is that the frail stems of the cloud Of bistort are invisible, creating An illusion that the cottony flowers Are a mass of collecting, floating Snowflakes, defying gravity, refusing to fall And obscure the wonderment beneath.

LUCY DICKINSON At Battle Point Park I lope through damp fronds, camera over left shoulder

chase light over fields and across pathways, tramp through wild brush, catch glimmers from the pond,

CARMI SOIFER haiku tomatoes twist against their supports… my teenage daughter

feel alders sway in my solar plexus,

Winds No matter the winds on the plains.

float with Canada Geese as they disappear

No matter dead animals and fallen antlers.

into a reflection of blue, orange and green.

No matter winter so strong earth pauses to wonder between pelted mountains--

Meeting Annie Leibovitz At Elliott Bay Bookstore I stand in line for an hour, wind through a forest of pregnant bookcases.

When I finally summit the iron-railed staircase and approach the oak table on the second floor balcony, I hope to catch a glimpse of the top of her head as she signs her new book of photographs, called Pilgrimage.

When it’s my turn, she looks up — hazel eyes behind amber frames.

She smiles and says, “Purple headband.”

I open my mouth slightly.

She points at my head and smiles again — “I like your headband.”

and small fur bodies burrow where they cannot hide.

Peace. War. To move without fear toward uncertain death.

No matter.

But comes the time of bargains never meant, words bent as tools— iron bursts like lightning by a people without harmony.

No matter.

Pledges, bones, unspoken land.

Well might the pika hide.

Spring Brings A New Community of Friends My mother came from a very large close-knit family.

Every summer she organized our family reunion consisting of her sisters, brothers, and their children. She would cook wonderful meals and the kitchen would fill the house with wonderful aromas.

Mom no longer hosts the reunions since Dad had passed away. At the last gathering she looked extremely tired.

The family thought it would be best if we found her a new home where others could keep her company and occupied throughout the days. Somewhere that would take care of her the same way she had taken care of us all those years. We did not just want anyplace to be her home but a place where she had activities, warmth, care and most importantly love. We decided that Liberty Shores & Harbor House in Poulsbo would be the new home that would be perfect for mom.

Liberty Shores & Harbor House is a trusted and deficiency free senior care provider specializing in assisted living and memory care. They offer the finest care, given by the most committed staff.

Call and schedule a free tour and lunch and you will experience our community filled with warmth and new friends.

Welcome to the 25th Older Americans Conference Keynote speaker Tony Ventrella will tell some stories — and talk about staying happy as you grow older

By LESLIE KELLY

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

T

he older Tony Ventrella gets, the more he’s learning.

And that’s just the way it should be, he said.

“In America, we don’t seem to revere seniors like they do in other countries,” he said. “Other places, seniors are held in high esteem. They are honored for their knowledge. But here, we tend not to do that.”

Many times, seniors are looked at as a burden, he said, and some seniors themselves think their lives are over. But as Ventrella likes to say, “Every day is an opportunity to learn something.”

As the keynote speaker at the Kitsap County Older Americans Conference this year, Ventrella plans to tell seniors about his own experiences and about what keeps him going.

“I’m a storyteller,” he said. “I’ll share a lot of stories about the people I’ve met.”

One of those individuals is a friend who, at 84, ran the New York City Marathon with him.

“I was half his age,” he said. “I was 44 and he kept up really well. He was very inspiring.”

Being a senior is no reason to think that you’re too old to learn new things, he said.

Or try new things.

“Seniors have the experience and the knowledge which they need to share with others who are younger than they are,” he added.

An interesting statistic, he said, is that 10,000 people — Baby Boomers all — turn 65 every day in the U.S. “With that, we’re going to have to change how we look at seniors,” he said.

“We will have the greatest number of people over the age of 65 that this country’s ever seen.”

Ventrella has written two books and is working on a third. His books are about keeping a positive attitude and enjoying life.

“Your attitude makes a big difference in your life,” he said.

Former sportscaster Tony Ventrella will speak about happiness.

Contributed photo His third book is titled “Same Air,” and addresses the fact that we all breathe the same air.

“It’s based on something (President John F. Kennedy) said in a speech,” Ventrella said. “We all breathe the same air. We are all in this together. What we each do affects the other and we need to figure out a way to get along before we eliminate our civilization.”

He’s planning on running for office as a way to do his part to make there world a better place. He plans to announce his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives soon.

“People are surprised that I’m a Democrat,” he said. “The biggest factor in that is that I don’t like all the big money in politics. People think that having been in the media, I have money and I am a Republican. But that’s not the case.

They’re also surprised that I don’t have a college degree.”

Ventrella was sports director at KING 5 and KIRO 7 television for 22 years. During his career, he covered two Olympics, several World Series, Super Bowls, International Figure Skating events, Final Four basketball tournaments and three Rose Bowls.

He started his career as a barber, trained by his father who also was a barber, and had his own shop. But radio was his true love and he did that on the side. At one time, Ventrella ran his shop, did play-by-play of high school football and wrote the entire sports section of his hometown newspaper while acting in

community theater and playing softball in two leagues.

He went from radio to television sports and worked in Connecticut, Indiana and then in Seattle.

He got into public speaking after he received honors and awards from community groups.

“I figured if they were going to give me the mic, I better have something good to say,” he said.

For the past 10 years, Ventrella has been digital media host for the Seattle Seahawks. He produces and hosts videos — team, corporate partner, and community outreach — on team websites.

He also has a background in theater directing and acting in dozens of productions back east and in the Pacific Northwest. He is a board member of the Evergreen Family Theatre in Redmond; he played “Scrooge” in a production of “A Christmas Carol” and Morrie in “Tuesdays with Morrie.”

People still recognize him when he’s out.

“They know my face,” he said. “They say ‘How do I know you? You were on TV but I forget your name.’ I tell them ‘That’s OK. I can’t remember my name most the time either.’ ” His bucket list? He doesn’t have one.

“That idea is overplayed,” he said.

“Most of us are doing the things we love every day, and if we’re not, that’s a problem. I’ve had the chance to travel. I’ve interviewed political figures, all-time great athletes. I have a great family — three kids and nine grandchildren. I’m very grateful.”

But he doesn’t fault others who want to make a bucket list.

“Today, and every day, my bucket list is to glorify and be grateful for being healthy,” he said.

Conference Agenda

For the past 25 years, seniors throughout Kitsap County have gathered annually to learn about resources that are available to them as they grow older.

The 2016 Older Americans Conference is no different. Participants will have the opportunity to get to know each other and to see just how many programs and activities there are in the county that cater to them.

The conference theme is “Your Silver Lining ... Blaze a Trail.” Events begin at 8 a.m. May 18 at the Elks Lodge in Bremerton.

• 9:40 a.m.: Remarks by a representative of contributing sponsor CHI/ Harrison.

• 9:50 a.m.: Presentation by Robert Law, division chief medical officer CKF&R 911, “Behind the Scenes.”

Law has been with Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue since 1985. He started as a volunteer firefighter in January 1981. For three years, he volunteered as a firefighter and worked for a private ambulance service in Bremerton. After moving into a resident firefighter program, he attended and graduated from Tacoma Community College with a certificate in paramedicine.

In August 1985, Law was hired as a paramedic firefighter in Silverdale. Since that time, he was promoted through the ranks: lieutenant, captain, battalion chief, and division chief of fire training.

He has an associate’s degree from Olympic College and is working on a bachelor’s degree in public administration.

Law is in charge of CKF&R’s medical division. The medical division includes 20 certified paramedics, roughly 80 EMTs and a fleet of 11 transport aid cars or Medic units.

Liberty Shores in Poulsbo is a friendly, active place Senior-living community focuses on a warm “at home” atmosphere that appreciates its veteran residents

“Residents do not adjust to you; you need to adjust to them,” she said.

She realizes that Liberty Shores will be adjusting again as the Baby Boomers start to arrive; they want to preserve their younger lifestyle.

By LIBERTY SHORES STAFF

A

ny first-time visitor pulling down the driveway at Liberty Shores Assisted Living and Harbor House Memory Care Communities realizes immediately they have come to a place that appreciates and honors the various branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Prominently displayed and aligning with the U.S. Flag are five flag poles, displaying the service flags for the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard. Liberty Shores and Harbor House have had the privilege for the past 18 years to take care of aging veterans; the formal display of the flags shows allegiance to that dedication.

The communities are typically the home-setting for 10 to 14 veterans at any given time, and recognizing them for their service to the country has been a paramount honor for the staff at Liberty Shores and Harbor House.

The Fireside Room, which offers a breathtaking vista of Mount Rainier, also has one wall dedicated as the Wall of Honor, showcasing various framed photos of veteran residents stemming from their service time as well as a present-time photo, with a listing of assignments and accomplishments. The present display of flags around the gazebo was dedicated during a special ceremony with the local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars on Memorial Day 2014.

This is an active place and you can do it all or you can do just what you want — entertain guests, take in some live entertainment, watch TV with friends in the home-like Bay Room, which has a kitchen and snacks, or enjoy a glass of wine on the expansive deck overlooking the bay.

How about venturing out on a mystery drive? Once a week, activity director Erica Applewhite picks a secret destination in Kitsap or Jefferson County and doesn’t reveal the location until residents are loaded on the bus. Amazingly, we have quite a few adventure seekers who live here, so they don’t seem to be daunted by not knowing where they will go until buckled into their seat, Applewhite said. When so

Liberty Shores, located in Poulsbo, offers comfortable private and semi-private rooms at its Harbor House Memory Care center.

Leslie Kelly photo much of our daily routines can be ordered or programmed, it’s sure nice to have something that’s a mystery.

Administrator Sigrid Howard added, “Most seniors have such extended lives today. We want to provide a level of service that accommodates those active lives.

The beauty of this place sets the tone for the quality of living Liberty Shores and Harbor House strives to provide: Personal care with a holistic team approach designed to address all physical, mental, social and spiritual needs; respect for who residents were and who they are today; integrity in every facet of services and care; dignity as the ultimate goal in providing care, while preserving and respecting the dignity of residents; and exceeding residents and families expectation.”

Liberty Shores offers familiar amenities and services. Studio and one- and two-bedroom apartments are each outfitted with a mini-kitchen with refrigerator and microwave. Each apartment has a call-light system to alert staff when a resident needs assistance, and each unit has cable service available. Apartments are furnished with the residents’ personal belongings.

Three meals a day are served restaurant style, with such choices as daily specials, accommodation of special dietary needs, and a made-to-order salad bar.

Other services include housekeeping and linen services; free use of laundry facilities; transportation for shopping, scheduled medical appointments and community events; programs coordinated

by an activities director; recreation and exercise areas; a beauty salon and barber shop; and a 24-hour bistro-type snack bar stocked with nutritious snacks and drinks.

Howard said additional services set Liberty Shores apart: 24-hour onsite licensed nursing staff; 24-hour, seven-daya-week admissions; full-time restorative care coordinator, offering customized exercise programs to help residents maintain, restore or obtain their highest level of physical abilities; Wander Guard support, to provide enhanced security for residents with early stages of memory loss; full-time social worker on staff to provide emotional and interpersonal support to residents; BlueStep, an Electronic Medical Charting system that can be accessed by physicians, medical staff and families from a secure, private log-in; and Family Connect, an online informational page which allows families real-time updates on their loved one’s health, activity and social well-being.

All told, Liberty Shores and Harbor House employs more than 100 — that’s almost one employee per resident.

The staff is striving every day to give residents a life where they have all the freedom that they desire as they age. The average age of residents is 90. People are retiring later in life and living longer.

Many are able to live at home longer now than in years past.

According to Howard, the only way you can be successful in elder care is to continually adjust to the changing times.

HARBOR HOUSE MEMORY CARE Harbor House, located adjacent to Liberty Shores, offers comfortable private and semi-private rooms, which are furnished or can be furnished with the residents personal belongings.

Harbor House Memory Care has three floors and combines security in housing and health care to aid in residents comfort and ensure their health and safety. Its design is focused on comfort and familiarity to allow residents to maintain their independence and privacy. Personal rooms are outfitted with photos of family and friends, while common areas and memory stations encourage individual and group activities.

A highlight of the first floor: A theater room with theater-style seating, coffee shop, and Memory Lane-style visiting area for before or after the film. Adorning the walls are movie posters from Hollywood’s “Casablanca” era.

Comfortable couches offer a peaceful respite location as well. A fireplace at the end of the hallway on first floor offers again a peaceful ambiance, encouraging residents to sit in the comfortable overstuffed leather chairs.

Activities are scheduled seven days a week, including board games, Bible studies, exercise classes, day trips and other special outings.

Outside, the courtyard features gardens where residents have grown plants and vegetables that have won awards at the Kitsap County Fair.

Harbor House Alzheimer’s Community also offers daycare and respite care for all stages of dementia patients, seven days a week.

AN INVITATION TO VISIT Howard said prospective residents of Liberty Shores or Harbor House are invited to take a tour and enjoy a complimentary lunch.

“We know you will applaud our standards and see why we have been recognized for exceptional customer service and quality care,” she said. “We offer a comprehensive selection of living options and support services. We encourage and support aging in place and have the staff and services to make it happen.”

Kitsap long-term care advisory council serves many

By LESLIE KELLY

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

T

hey’re helping seniors get their needs met. They serve as advisers.

But they’ve all encountered their own unique issues navigating the needs of seniors.

They are the Advisory Council to the Kitsap County Division of Aging and Long Term Care. Among the members is Al Pinkham, the council chairman.

Pinkham spent 24 years in the U.S. Navy and, following that, served three terms on the board of the Peninsula Community Health Services. He then decided to join the Advisory Council for the Area Agency on Aging.

As chairman, he said he is dedicated to hearing the concerns of seniors and caregivers to seniors and the aging population and working to meet those needs.

“When I finished my terms on the community health board, I said ‘What else can I do to help the senior population?’ ” Pinkham said. “Then I found this group.”

After three years on the council, he’s seen some things that Kitsap County is

doing well to serve its senior population.

And he’s seen things that need work. “We have a great amount of services available here,” he said. “But we need to get that message out to more people.”

In the last year, the council has visited all of the senior centers in Kitsap County, listening to seniors to learn what is important to them and what needs are not being met.

“Transportation is a big issue,” he said. “What good is having places where seniors can get the care they need if they physically can’t get there?”

The council has met with Kitsap Transit to help improve bus service, but there is much left to be done. The council will continue to look for innovative ways to help seniors and those who are challenged meet their transportation needs.

Another big issue for seniors is that many of them don’t want to ask for help.

“There’s a strong resistance to asking for help,” he said. “Some seniors think of it as welfare. But the fact is that the programs are being paid for with tax dollars and these seniors have worked all their lives and paid into taxes for years and

Personalized Home Care Services Since 1975, ResCare has provided services that help individuals maximize their independence and quality of life.

We provide personalized home care services to people of all ages, physical conditions and cognitive abilities in the comfort of your home, the hospital, a long-term assisted living facility or other place of temporary or permanent residence.

years. Just like with Medicare and Social Security, they’ve earned the help.”

Vice Chairwoman Mari Van Court said she found her way to the council after being the designated caregiver for three elderly relatives.

“As a family nursing practitioner, I thought I knew what I was doing,” she said. “But I was completely blind-sided by what was involved.”

The combination of legal paperwork, finances and navigating the health care system was overwhelming to her. And it consumed her time 24/7. So she sought out a support network for caregivers and found that with the county’s Division of Aging.

“They saved my life,” she said. “Now I want to get the message out to other caregivers.”

Van Court sees a need for better transitions from hospital to nursing care and back home for seniors. She’s hoping to be able to work on making that happen.

She thinks the county is doing good work with making respite care available to caregivers and wants to see that caregivers know what’s available to them when

they need help.

Council member Michaelene Manion had experience working with the disability network, having had a disabled son. She also helped her mother through a number of strokes and dementia in the 1990s.

“I saw so many people in convalescent homes who needed help that they weren’t getting,” she said. “I decided I wanted to fight for those who don’t have a voice.”

Manion has been on the council since 2009. She points to things such as dental care and vision care that need addressing. She is working with the other council members to gather information and “make sure Olympia and the others with the power to fund programs” know what’s lacking.

Kitsap County is doing many things right, such as planning for the future, council members said. Statistically, by 2020, one in four residents will be older than 60.

“The county is planning well and seeking our advice on long-range issues for the aging population,” Van Court said.

Denture and dental center can care for many issues

By ANDERSON DENTURE STAFF

A

nderson Denture & Dental Center in Poulsbo has dentists and denturists that can care for all your needs, from fillings to dentures to implants.

A denturist is the only professional legislated exclusively to serve individuals with removable dental prosthetics. A denturist’s entire required curriculum of study focuses on the oral health of those individuals needing a dental prosthetic and the actual fabrication of that appliance. The denturist actually makes your dentures.

Your denturist is an expert in the design, construction, insertion and adjustment of removable dental appliances. Your licensed denturist has graduated from an accredited college denturist program and

Denturist Bruce Anderson

passed the state’s board of health two-day examination.

This board examination not only includes the sciences involving oral health

issues, but also the technical skills necessary to actually fabricate your denture.

This expertise makes choosing a denturist the best possible choice to help you derive the maximum benefit from up-to-date dental prosthetic technology.

When you choose a denturist for your denture needs, you can be assured of expert personalized care. Knowing you are being seen by the individual who will actually make your dental appliance offers confidence that your unique needs will be met.

Your denturist is devoted to creating full or partial dentures that fit well, look natural and attractive, and allow you to maintain a healthy smile.

Since your dental appliance is actually made at your denturist’s office, the quality

of care is constant, personal and expedient. Also, adjustments, repairs and relines can be made rather quickly, often while you wait.

Denturists’ fees are affordable because there are no outside cost markups or outside delays. Most insurance companies honor the services of a denturist.

You will be pleased by choosing a denturist for your denture care. You will receive personalized, confidential quality care and professional service, and be surprised at the affordability.

The attention to detail and the warm personal service will make your visit to a denturist enjoyable. It’s a decision you’ll be comfortable with.

County agency on aging works to connect seniors with services

By AGING AGENCY STAFF

Kitsap County Aging and Long Term Care, or ALTC, is a division of the Kitsap County Human Services Department and is the locally designated Area Agency on Aging for Kitsap County.

ALTC was created through the collaborative action of citizens, aging-network service providers and the Kitsap Board of County Commissioners in 1980. An ALTC Advisory Council makes recommendations as to programs and services provided by the agency, and advocates with elected officials regarding the interests and needs of older adults and adults with disabilities living in Kitsap County.

The ALTC’s mission is to work independently and through community partnerships to promote well-being of older adults and adults with disabilities. ALTC has 14 subcontracts with local providers for various services to support older persons, as well as 18 Medicaid supportive subcontracts to assist those served through the Medicaid.

Stacey Smith, administrator, said, “ALTC is available to answer questions and help people make decisions that will positively affect their lives. We provide unbiased information and referrals to local services that support citizens making informed choices, experience positive outcomes, and connect to local resources. There are often relatively simple and low-cost options available to help people remain living in their own homes and

communities. We’re here as a way for people to get the information they need as they make important life decisions,” she said.

ALTC’s Senior Information & Assistance Program expects it will assist more than 1,240 people in 2016. Community Living Connections is a specifically-designed local resource database of services to older persons. Other in-house programs include the Family Caregiver Support Program, which helps individuals taking care of family or friends, expected to serve at least 300 caregivers this year.

Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA) anticipates providing approximately 1,500 consultations to local community members for free information on Medicare options and cost savings programs. Last year, SHIBA volunteers helped people in the local community save a combined, estimated $95,000 in premiums and prescription co-payments.

Long-Term Care Ombudsman expects to assist 2,500 people residing in nursing homes, assisted living or adult family homes throughout Kitsap County.

The Medicaid Long-Term Care Case Management Services assists individuals with disabilities over the age of 18 years, eligible for Medicaid and independently living in the community. On any given day, ALTC serves more than 950 individuals throughout the county through this program.

ALTC also operates a Title V Senior

Community Services Employment and Training Program for individuals older than 55 who are interested in re-training and seeking employment.

“If any of these services interest you or could assist you to continue to live independently in Kitsap County, please give us a call,” Smith said. “Folks don’t realize ALTC is their local resource. They have contributed to our existence their entire working lives. Now, we are here to support them in their golden years.”

ALTC purchases services from private and public agencies and arranges for service delivery for individuals who meet eligibility requirements. ALTC uses a variety of state, federal and local funding sources, including the federal Older Americans Act, Medicaid, Respite, the national and state Family Caregiver Support Program, the state Senior Citizens Services Act, and individual and community donations.

Here are the service numbers expected for 2016.

• Information and Assistance & Community Living Connections: 1,240 individuals served.

• Family Caregiver Support Program: 300 caregivers served; 5,491-plus hours of respite care for 56 caregivers; 80 counseling sessions; 138 trainings; 32 individuals served in support groups; and 35 individuals who will receive home-delivered meals, legal services or durable medical equipment.

• Long-Term Care Ombudsman: 500 investigations or interventions; 2,500 individuals served.

• Medicaid Long-Term Care Case Management Services: 950 individuals served.

• Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA): 1,500 direct consumer contacts for assistance.

• Title V Senior Community Service Employment & Training Program: Training and employment opportunities for 12 eligible participants.

• Congregate Meals: 31,400 meals for 775 individuals.

• Home-Delivered Meals: 42,000 meals for 375 individuals.

• Kinship Caregivers Support Program: Support for 60 caregivers raising other family members’ children.

• Mental Health/Substance Abuse Counseling: 385 hours of counseling for 85 individuals.

• Senior Drug Education: Community events providing expert information regarding the safe use of prescribed medications for older adults.

• Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program: 685 individuals each receiving about $40 worth of fresh food and produce.

• Legal Services: 370 hours of (noncriminal) legal services for up to 120 individuals.

Kitsap Physical Therapy helps cardiac patients recover

By LESLIE KELLY

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

J

erry Mecham and Karen Kline are shining examples of how cardiac conditioning can help heart attack survivors regain their physical stamina.

Mecham, 70, had congestive heart failure and had to have open heart surgery in May 2015. His heart was enlarged and he had to have an LVAD, a pump to help his heart work, inserted in his chest. The LVAD helps the left ventricle pump blood to the aorta. The aorta is the main artery that carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body.

“I was always so weak,” Mecham said.

“I couldn’t even walk from the front door to my truck.”

But after his surgery, he began to feel better. Still, his ability to walk and his breathing weren’t what they should be.

So his cardiologist sent him for physical therapy.

He chose Kitsap Physical Therapy and Sports Clinics in Kingston.

“The doc said I needed cardiac physical therapy,” Mecham said. “I hated the idea.

I’d never been to physical therapy before and the idea of somebody telling me I had to do this or that wasn’t what I wanted.”

But he went along with the idea and found the physical therapists at KPT to be wonderful.

“Those guys, they really watched over me,” he said. “I was assigned to one of them each time I came in and they kept track of my pulse and watched how I did things.”

At first, he could only do one minute on the stationary bicycle. That amounted to about 200 feet in distance.

“We worked up to two minutes and now we’re at seven,” he said, noting that that’s one and a half miles. “I do two sets of seven minutes with a break in-between.”

He can also do seven minutes on the treadmill, usually two or three sets. And he uses an arm bicycle which works his upper body. In the four weeks that he’s been in cardiac rehab therapy, he’s seen a great deal of improvement in how he feels and what he can do.

“It’s a marked improvement,” he said. “I can walk to my truck without feeling tired and I even walk the dog.”

Currently, his time at the physical therapy gym is every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for an hour, first thing at 8 a.m. sharp.

“I hate exercising,” said the former Washington state ferry captain who

Karen Kline jokes with Rob McDowell, a physical therapist, while she does her workout on the treadmill. Kline is recovering from heart surgery.

Leslie Kelly photo retired in 1997. “But I hate being out of breath more. Boy, have they ever been helpful. I can tell that the physical exercise is helping.”

After his retirement from the ferry system, he went back to work for the state Attorney General’s office as a witness for the state. He also worked for 14 years at Coast-to-Coast Hardware in Poulsbo. He’s active in the community and hopes to have more good years in him.

His short-term goal, however, is to be able to put on his socks.

“I can’t do that yet,” he said. “I can’t bend over to do that. But I’m getting closer.”

While Mecham knew he had signs of heart trouble, Kline did not. Also 70, Kline owns her own business and encountered significant stress in the year prior to her heart surgery.

“I just thought it was indigestion,” she said of her chest pains. “As women, we don’t realize that that’s a sign of heart problems.”

She made a trip to the emergency room, but her heart issue wasn’t caught that day.

It was a few weeks later when she told a friend about how she was feeling.

“The friend said ‘You need to go to a cardiologist right now,’” Kline said.

She made an appointment with Dr. John Banzer, a cardiologist with The Doctors Clinic in Silverdale.

“He told me I needed surgery,” Kline said. “They had to put in a stint.”

She said she didn’t realize how her stress had affected her body. And soon

after surgery, her doctor sent her to cardiac physical therapy. She, too, chose Kitsap Physical Therapy in Kingston.

“At first I thought this was just another way to milk the insurance companies,” she said. “But they assigned me to Rich (McDowell), and he got it that I was a type A personality. He helped me get the stress under control.”

Like Mecham, she’d never had physical therapy before and wasn’t much of an exerciser.

“They taught me how to breathe properly from the stomach,” she said.

“Because I am exercising and using my yoga breathing, my heart rate and my blood pressure have dropped.”

Now she wears a FitBit so she can monitor her own vitals.

“In a way, it’s taught me to fix myself,” she said. “I’m focused on the fix because I don’t want to be a victim.”

After several weeks working with a physical therapist, she’s continuing her training on her own. She’s met another person in rehab at Kitsap Physical Therapy and now they work out together twice a week.

Still working in her retail business, and working with her husband at their Christmas tree farm, she never wants to retire.

“My goal is to stay healthy, stay active and stay alive,” she said. “I’m still having a lot of fun.”

Any time Rich McDowell, a physical therapist at KPT, gets a new patient, he’s ready.

At KPT there’s a standard protocol when introducing a cardiac patient to exercising, once he or she has had a cardiac event.

“We do a full evaluation on them and assess the risk factors before we ever get them up and going on equipment,” McDowell said. “That includes a muscular, skeletal and orthopedic study, and we assess their cardiovascular health.”

A stress test, where the patient walks on a treadmill to see how long they are able to maintain their walking, is common.

“With all that, we have a base measurement and we can formulate a treatment plan and set appropriate goals,” McDowell said. “Cardiac rehab has always been offered by KPT, but in the past five or six years we’ve developed a formal program. We knew there was a need to offer something locally. Many of the people who needed it around here (Poulsbo and Kingston) were having to drive to Bremerton to get it. We saw the need and we jumped up and met it.”

The program is well known at all KPT locations and many of their patients come by way of word-of-mouth.

“We are always having conversations with the local cardiologists and surgeons,” McDowell said. “We’re proud of this program. But many of our patients learn about us from other patients who’ve been here.”

Steve Goldrick, another KPT cardiac rehab specialist who practices at the KPT Silverdale Clinic, said cardiologists, surgeons and family physicians, and friends refer patients to KPT. Goldrick has been a physical therapist with KPT for five years. He’s a board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist. He’s a doctor of physical therapy and specializes in orthopedic work, occupational therapy, chronic pain management and cardiac rehab.

Just how long the rehab will last, depends on the patient, Goldrick and McDowell said.

“It varies,” McDowell said. “Some (patients) have a history of exercise and we just need to guide them. Some have never exercised and we work with them to make it a part of their lives. Getting it to be a routine is the goal.”

A physical therapist works one-on-one with each cardiac patient to watch their heart rate and make sure that they are doing their exercise correctly. McDowell See CARDIAC, Page 10

Cardiac

Continued from page 9 finds that once a patient gets a treatment plan and begins walking on the treadmill, and sees improvement, they are committed.

“That helps keep them coming in three times a week,” he said.

Once patients are released from physical therapy they receive a 30 day pass to use the gym and to encourage them to continue exercising on their own.

He stressed that continued cardio exercise can be as simple as a walk in the neighborhood, or using equipment like a treadmill at home.

“In many rural places, there are no gyms close by,” he said. “What do you do if there’s no where to work out? Just getting out and moving is the key. Start to move the body again and get into an exercise routine.”

Goldrick said patients who have had a heart attack or heart surgery need someone who understands how they are feeling.

“They’ve been knocked down a peg,” said Goldrick. “They’re not up to the level they were before the heart attack. They’re frustrated and they want to be able to do what they’re use to doing.”

The job of the physical therapist is to walk along side of them and be a coach and a booster.

“We’re there to help them reach their goals,” Goldrick said. “But that’s not just about exercising. It’s about being able to

Long Term

Continued from page 5 Pinkham said as far as funding goes, aging issues may not be the priority now, but both the state and the U.S. Congress are paying attention.

“They know what’s coming (with an aging population),” he said. “They understand the costs of health care at the end of life and they’re looking for ways to reduce those costs. It’s a hard discussion, but it has to happen.” Such things are Advance Health Care Directives help, he added.

Another concern of the council is the overwhelming loneliness of the aging population. Reaching out to seniors is crucial.

“So many elderly are lonely and they won’t ask for help,” Pinkham said. “But with the work of the agency and the council, we’re improving that. We’re trying to get the word out that help is available. There’s

physical therapist for 16 years, learned about cardiac rehab during an internship in a hospital cardiac unit. He’s aware that some people who have had heart attacks or strokes, or heart surgery, are reluctant to get going again.

“I saw that in my own family,” he said. “My grandpa had a stroke and was prescribed physical therapy following that. I had a hard time convincing my grandma that he needed to get moving. She kept saying all he needed was rest. But once she saw him improving, she saw he needed it.”

Goldrick said the patients can be hesitant.

“Having a heart attack is extremely stressful,” he said.

for cardiac rehab, McDowell isn’t seeing that in Kitsap County.

“We have an equal balance of men and women here,” he said. “There’s just so much research out there that shows the benefit of aerobic exercise that people are understanding its value, especially when they have or have had heart problems.”

Goldrick said KPT is different from other physical therapy places because it’s owned by the physical therapists.

“We’re hometown people,” he said.

“Many of us grew up around here. We have a certain sense of pride in watching our business grow and making sure our patients are satisfied.”

And, he said, in many cases, the physical therapists are able to keep in touch with their former patients because many decide to continue their exercising at KPT fitness gyms.

“We will see each other coming and going,” Goldrick said. “They’ll tell me how many minutes they’re doing on the treadmill, or say ‘check out my grip strength.’ I love being able to keep in touch with them and make sure they’re doing well.”

Kitsap Physical Therapy and Sports Clinic has locations in Silverdale, Bainbridge Island, Poulsbo, Kingston, Port Orchard and Bremerton and was founded in 1979.

Its mission is to play a valuable role in helping the people living in our communities to overcome the physical limitations (and sometimes mental) restrictions that interfere with their ability to fully participate in their activities of daily living.”

THERAPY COMES IN ALL KINDS OF PACKAGES. Especially ones with four legs.

A new branch on the tree

By JEFF TOLMAN Columnist

I

held my younger son’s new child. My baby’s baby. A new branch on the family tree. A new life. A new story to be written.

Immediately I noticed what I didn’t see in this newborn. Hate. Prejudice. Anger.

Blind ambition.

Instead, I saw happiness, peace, optimism and potential. A one-of-a-kind human he is, with a common, but at the same time unique, story to live.

In his first weeks of life outside mom, the baby has already conquered many life tasks. Eat. Sleep. Spit up. Cry. Poop.

Pee. Stick his tongue out. Listen to Pa’s stories as if they are fascinating. Look bigeyed at the new, wondrous, exciting world existing outside the basinette. Wrap his grandparents’ hearts around his tiny little fingers.

The world has not yet soiled Zach with demands, expectations and keeping-upwith-the-Joneses.

As when I first held my other grandchildren, Kinzie and Miller, cuddling Zachary I thought about my job description as a grandparent. My initial reaction was that the ad would read something like this: WANTED: A positive role model for new parents and a new baby.

Requirements include unlimited love, perspective, the ability to laugh and hug and look at life’s bigger picture.

Communications skills to convince new parents that sleep will come again, that being a teenager is a temporary affliction, that everyone will survive the ups-anddowns life brings and that “this, too, will pass” are preferred.

A recent episode in Poulsbo Municipal Court made me alter and simplify my grandparent job description.

A grandmother came before me, arrested for allegedly teaching her grandchildren how to shoplift at a local store.

She casually pleaded guilty and awaited sentencing. I couldn’t imagine the allegations to be true.

“Ma’am,” I said, “I am a parent and grandparent who has spent lots of my waking hours trying to help my kids and grandkids be good people and citizens.

Columnist, lawyer and judge Jeff Tolman.

Make sense out of this for me. The allegations are shocking and appalling.”

I waited for her to respond, wondering what she had to say. Then she spoke.

“Do we have to have all this chatter? Or can you just sentence me?”

There was no more chatter. Just a firm sentence to someone who’ll likely be back in some court again, as will, I suspect, her grandchildren in years to come. Her grandkids don’t have much of a chance of having a life not filled with police officers, public defenders, prosecutors and judges.

Put simply, “monkey see, monkey do.”

That grandmother helped me understand better Zachary’s parents’ and grandparents’ ultimate job: to give him a chance.

To help him find and be himself, to write his individual story. To let him know he is loved and valuable. To be part of a team that shows him how to live life right.

Without stealing, without courts involved in his life. To always remember, “monkey see, monkey do.”

‘Elder Orphans’ represent a growing number here

By LESLIE KELLY

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

T

hey are called “Elder Orphans” and they represent a growing number of Americans who are coming into their senior years without anyone to watch over them.

Just ask Richard Tizzano, a Poulsbo attorney who specializes in Elder Law. Many people are familiar with him because of his free seminars throughout Kitsap County, where he helps seniors to know their health care and legal options.

“All seniors need to be asking ‘Who’s got your back?,’ ” Tizzano said.

“Everybody needs to have someone to watch over them – someone to be their advocate.”

Elder Orphans refers to the coming wave of childless and unmarried Baby Boomers and seniors who are aging alone.

Many have no surviving spouse, may never have had children, and have lived long enough to have no surviving family or close friends.

“What about those who don’t have family watching over them?,” Tizzano said.

“Or those whose family live far away and haven’t noticed that things are falling through the cracks?“ He’s seen that happen when seniors come to get his guidance. Sometimes they even reach out to him to be their advocate.

“I’ve had clients ask ‘Can you be my Power of Attorney?’, or they’ll say ‘Are there people out there I can hire to do this?’” he said.

He strongly advises seniors to think ahead and ask themselves ‘is there someone who has my back?’

Tizzano recommends that seniors attend a seminar where he speaks about choosing an advocate to be your Power of Attorney. He talks about the health care options when a senior can no longer live on their own and what financial assistance may be available.

“There’s really no simple answer,” he said. “But knowing what the options are and being able to choose what’s right for them, gives the senior the feeling that they are in control.”

Tizzano recently had a husband and father come see him. His wife had been in nursing care for more than nine months and he had maxed out his credit cards to pay for her care. He had just received a notice from the care home that he needed to pay another $30,000.

“I helped him fill out an application for Medicaid, and we found that Medicaid

would pay the costs back three months,” Tizzano said. “But I kept thinking how I wished he’d come to see me earlier because he still had the credit card debt that he can’t pay.”

Tizzano said that Medicaid is still a strong and fully operational program in the U.S. and can help with nursing home costs in most cases.

“It remains to be seen how long that will be the case, given the national debt,” he added.

Usually someone enters the arena of elder care after they have an accident, or a medical need that lands them in the hospital. Tizzano said they will then need time in a rehabilitation center, and then may be able to go home, but need specialized care at home. Or, in some cases, they will need to move to a nursing facility.

“Seniors need to know the options and the costs ahead of time,” he said. “Seniors need to ask themselves ‘how am I going to pay for this?’”

There are programs including Medicaid, veterans benefits, and others, he said.

One options is Long-Term Care Insurance, which is less expensive the younger you start it. And there are plans that allow your survivors to get a payout if you don’t use it, just like a life insurance policy.

Elder Orphans are also coming about because Baby Boomers are independent people, he said. Each day 10,000 people in America turn 65. And many of them have been focused on their careers and hence, don’t have a lot of close friends.

He tells a story of a comedian who has an act where he tells his wife that he doesn’t have close friends. He asked, ‘If I die, are there six people you could ask to carry my coffin?’

“Then he sets out to make six good friends to take that burden off his wife,” Tizzano said. “There’s a lesson in there.

Start now to intentionally be friendly. And think about making more than one good friend, because you don’t know who’s going to go first.”

Tizzano began giving his seminars two years ago. He offers two hours of private consultation for $200 to anyone who attends a seminar and still has questions.

His calling to help others came to him when he was 12. That was when his mother, who was only 42, had a stroke that left her paralyzed on the left side for the rest of her life.

“It was a Sunday and my dad woke me up to say that mom was sick, the ambulance was here and that he was going to the hospital with her,” Tizzano recalled.

“Because I was the only child, I’d be alone at home.

“I watched them leave and then my first thought was ‘Hey, now I don’t have to go to church.’ But I can still feel what came next, just like I was standing right there in the hallway of our New York City apartment. Something told me ’You better go to church, because those people care about us and we need them to pray for us.’”

Tizzano said that the lesson from that is to be a part of things and reach out to friends and neighbors because you never know when you’ll need help.

“There’s a lot of pain in the world,” he said. “You can either be a part of the problem or the solution.”

Tizzano is a 1992 graduate of the University of Puget Sound School of Law and is a partner in the Sherrard McGonagle Tizzano law offices in Poulsbo and on Bainbridge Island. He practiced law in California before moving to Poulsbo. He and his wife have six children, five still living at home. Four of his children were adopted through the foster care program in Washington.

His office is at 19717 Front St. NE, Poulsbo. His phone is 360-779-5551.

Peninsula Cancer Center on the cutting edge of care Great service and innovative care available in your own hometown

By PENINSULA CANCER CENTER

A

diagnosis of cancer is a scary thing.

You want the best possible care utilizing state-of-the-art technology in a comforting environment in your own community. You can have that here at Peninsula Cancer Center.

Peninsula Cancer Center’s mission is to provide superior radiation treatment with compassion, innovation and VIP service to cancer patients. Cancer care is both an art and a science. Healing, after all, takes place not just on the physical levels, but on the emotional and spiritual planes as well. At Peninsula Cancer Center you can expect: • Respect: We promise to make each visit as easy and efficient as possible. Our physicians and staff review a patient’s case together beforehand to make sure his or her needs are not only met, but anticipated.

• Flexibility: Appointments are not rushed. Patients set the schedule and take as much time as they need to discuss their care with physicians and staff.

• Accessibility: Peninsula Cancer Center physicians are always available, by email or phone, to their patients and to anyone diagnosed with cancer who wishes to speak about his or her case to an expert

Patients diagnosed with cancer can be treated close to home in Kitsap County at the Peninsula Cancer Center in Poulsbo.

• Warm ambiance: Comfortable spaces, abundant natural light, warm colors, regional works of art from Bainbridge Arts and Crafts — all contribute to a soothing, healing atmosphere.

• Community of caring: We partner with community resources to enhance the

Spring cleaning for your portfolio Now that spring has officially sprung, you might look around your home and decide it’s time for some sprucing up. But you don’t have to confine your efforts to your house and yard — you can also engage in a little “spring cleaning” in your investment portfolio.

Here are a few suggestions for doing just that: • “Dust off” your investment strategy.

Dusting is a big part of spring cleaning. Light fixtures, shelves, windowsills — they can all acquire layers of dust and grime that need to be whisked away. And if you’ve left your investment strategy unexamined for a long period, it too may need to be “dusted off” and re-evaluated. Over time, your financial goals,

family situation and even risk tolerance can change, so it’s a good idea to review your overall strategy to make sure it’s still appropriate for your needs.

• Get rid of “clutter.” Once you start tidying up your house, you might be surprised at all the “duplicates” you find — a broom in a bedroom, another broom in the laundry room, a third in the garage, and so on. Just as you probably don’t need multiple brooms, so you may find that you have many versions of the same type of investment in your portfolio.

If you own too many of the same investment, and a market downturn affects that particular asset, your portfolio could take a big hit. You may be better off by selling some

Peninsula Cancer Center has been awarded a second three-year term of accreditation in radiation oncology by the American College of Radiology (ACR).

The ACR is the nation’s oldest and most widely accepted radiation oncology accrediting body, with more than 600 accredited sites and 27 years of accredita-

of the too-similar investments and using the proceeds to diversify your holdings.

• Remove “stains” on your portfolio.

As you clean your carpets and furniture, you might notice some stains that should be removed. And when you look through your portfolio, you might find some “stains” in the form of chronically underperforming investments. Instead of holding on to these vehicles with the hope that they will eventually turn around, you might consider selling them and using the proceeds to purchase new investments, which can help fill any gaps you may have in your holdings.

• Consolidate your accounts. Have you ever discovered a stapler in one drawer, a roll of tape in the linen closet and a bunch of marking pens on your desk? All these items may be useful, but for the sake of efficiency (and to cut down on frustrating searches), you might want to consolidate them in one

tion experience. When you see the ACR seal, you can rest assured that your treatment will be done at a facility that has met the highest level of quality and radiation safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting specific Practice Guidelines and Technical Standards after evaluation by radiation oncologists and medical physicists who are experts in their field.

Peninsula Cancer Center is helping to pioneer a new tool that is proven to protect prostate cancer patients from the negative effects of radiation therapy. Upon FDA approval, Peninsula Cancer Center was the first center on the West Coast and one of the first nationwide to adopt the advanced technology.

On May 5, 2015, Dr. R. Alex Hsi performed the first procedure utilizing SpaceOAR® hydrogel. The SpaceOAR System is intended to temporarily position the anterior rectal wall away from the prostate during radiotherapy for prostate cancer, creating space to protect the rectum from radiation exposure. Hsi was recently featured on the local KING5 Health Watch (www.king5.com/news/ health/cushioning-the-effects-of-prostateradiation/122901092).

Peninsula Cancer Center provides world-class radiation treatment for cancer patients: top doctors, state-of-the-art equipment, the latest research and science and a great support system. To make an appointment with doctors Madsen, Hsi or Foxlee, call 360-697-8000.

place. And you could do something similar with your investments. Specifically, if you have some stocks here, a couple of certificates of deposits there, and some IRAs at still another place, you might consider consolidating them with one financial services provider.

With all your investments in one place, you could possibly reduce the fees and paperwork associated with maintaining your accounts. And when you eventually start taking withdrawals from your IRA and 401(k), you may find it easier to calculate these required distributions if they’re coming from just one place. But just as importantly, when you consolidate your investments with one provider, you may find it easier to follow a single, unified investment strategy.

So, there you have them — some spring-cleaning ideas to help you energize your portfolio. And you won’t even need a dustpan. — Submitted by Edward Jones

& Long Term Care We want to share this message about safe Medication Management You and Your Medicines

As you get older you may be faced with more health conditions that you need to treat on a regular basis. It is important to be aware that more use of medicines and normal body changes caused by aging can increase the chance of unwanted or maybe even harmful drug interactions. As you get older, body changes can affect the way medicines are absorbed and used. For example, changes in the digestive system can affect how fast medicines enter the bloodstream. Changes in body weight can influence the amount of medicine you need to take and how long it stays in your body. The circulatory system may slow down, which can affect how fast drugs get to the liver and kidneys. The liver and kidneys also may work more slowly, affecting the way a drug breaks down and is removed from the body.

Drug Interactions

Because of these body changes, there is also a bigger risk of drug interactions among older adults. Therefore, it’s important to know about drug interactions.

• Drug-drug interactions happen when two or more medicines react with each other to cause unwanted effects. This kind of interaction can also cause one medicine to not work as well or even make one medicine stronger than it should be. For example, you should not take aspirin if you are taking a prescription blood thinner, such as warfarin, unless your health care professional tells you to.

• Drug-condition interactions happen when a medical condition you already have makes certain drugs potentially harmful. For example, if you have high blood pressure or asthma, you could have an unwanted reaction if you take a nasal decongestant.

• Drug-food interactions result from drugs reacting with foods or drinks. In some cases, food in the digestive tract can affect how a drug is absorbed. Some medicines also may affect the way nutrients are absorbed or used in the body.

• Drug-alcohol interactions can happen when the medicine you take reacts with an alcoholic drink. For instance, mixing alcohol with some medicines may cause you to feel tired and slow your reactions.

It is important to know that many medicines do not mix well with alcohol. As you grow older, your body may react differently to alcohol, as well as to the mix of alcohol and medicines. Keep in mind that some problems you might think are medicine-related, such as loss of coordination, memory loss, or irritability, could be the result of a mix between your medicine and alcohol.

What to Ask Your Doctor or Pharmacist

• What is the name of the medicine and what is it supposed to do? Is there a less expensive alternative?

• How and when do I take the medicine and for how long?

• Should it be taken with water, food, or with a special medicine, or at the same time as other medicines?

• What do I do if I miss or forget a dose?

• Should it be taken before, during, or after meals?

• What is the proper dose? For example, does “four times a day” mean you have to take it in the middle of the night?

• What does your doctor mean by “as needed”?

• Are there any other special instructions to follow?

• What foods, drinks, other medicines, dietary supplements, or activities should I avoid while taking this medicine?

• Will any tests or monitoring be required while I am taking this medicine? Do I need to report back to the doctor?

• What are the possible side effects and what do I do if they occur?

• When should I expect the medicine to start working, and how will I know if it is working?

• Will this new prescription work safely with the other prescription and OTC medicines or dietary supplements I am taking?

• Do you have a patient profile form for me to fill out? Does it include space for my OTC drugs and any dietary supplements?

• Is there written information about my medicine? Ask the pharmacist to review the most important information with you. (Ask if it’s available in large print or in a language other than English if you need it.)

• What is the most important thing I should know about this medicine? Ask the pharmacist any questions that may not have been answered by your doctor.

• Can I get a refill? If so, when?

• How and where should I store this medicine?

Options for making new friends when you’re over 55 It’s not that easy to reach out and make friends when you’re older, but there are plenty of places where you can try

By LESLIE KELLY

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

O

K. So you’re a 55-or-older “senior” and you’ve landed in a place where you don’t know anyone, or you just want to create a new set of friends.

You’re not a church-goer and you feel you’re too young for the community senior centers or the “Red Hat” society.

Here’s a handful of suggestions of places, events, and activities where you might find new friends, and maybe even find that special person to spend time with.

• Join a quilting group, or a sewing class. There’s the Kitsap Quilters at www. kitsapquilters.com. They meet at 7 p.m. every fourth Tuesday of the month in Poulsbo and beginners are welcome. For sewing and craft classes, give JoAnn’s a try. Located at 2886 NW Bucklin Hill Road in Silverdale, classes are posted at the store and can be found online, or call 360692-1300.

• Sign up to become a Master Gardener. Through the Washington State University Extension Service and Kitsap County, there’s the opportunity to learn all you need to know to garden beautifully while helping the environment. Just go to www.ext100.wsu.edu/kitsap/gardening/ master-gardeners/become-a-mastergardener/ and read about the classes and seminars that are available.

• Attend a wine tasting. With wine tasting rooms in every part of the county, this is the perfect place to drop in and meet new people. Eagle Harbor Wine Co. on Bainbridge Island at 278 Winslow Way E, is a popular one. Call 206-842-4669 or go to their website at www.ehwineco.com.

Or try Olalla Valley Vineyard & Winery, 13176 Olalla Valley Road SE, Olalla, call 253-851-4949. Website: www.olallavalleyvineyard.com • Combined the artist within you and your love of wine and try a “Tile and Taste” evening at Kitsap Mosaics at 18827 Front St. in Poulsbo. Create a fun set of coasters, picture frame or choose from other select items, while enjoying a glass of wine and appetizers, every Friday from

Joining a cooking class and enjoying a meal together with the other students is one way to meet new friends. Others include hiking groups and book clubs.

Contributed photo 6 to 9 p.m. Cost $40. Call 206-422-0787 or 360-930-0741.

•But if that’s not quite your style of art, several local bookstores, including Eagle Bay Books on Bainbridge (www.eaglebaybooks.com) and Liberty Bay Books (www. libertybaybooks.com) in Poulsbo have sponsored adult coloring nights where wine is sometimes offered.

Liberty Bay Books calls it “Coloring and Cocktails” and it’s offered at both Liberty Bay Books in Poulsbo and Bremerton.

Speaking of which, joining a book club is just one other way to meet people. Check with your local library or bookstore to connect to a group.

• Go hear music at a community concert. During the summer, there’s plenty to choose from with concerts at the waterfront gazebo in Port Orchard, on the waterfront in Bremerton and in the parks on Bainbridge Island and in Poulsbo.

Check the parks department websites for specifics.

• Join an outdoor group and go hiking or learn to fish. Olympic Outfitters is a place to go to learn about fly fishing. See more at www.peninsulaoutfitters.com/ product-category/fly-fishing-classes/. If you’ve never been in a kayak and want to try, check out the classes offered at Olympic Outdoor, www.olympicoutdoorcenter.com. There’s also standup paddle boards to try. For those who want

a hike try the Kitsap Outdoors group on MeetUp.com. The Kitsap Outdoors Meetup Group is an outdoors group dedicated to bringing introductory hikes, snow travel, camping, backpacking, and biking to the citizens of Kitsap County. Starting where the Clear Creek Trail leaves off, they know area parks, the Olympics and Mount Rainier. Go to www.meetup.com/Kitsap-Outdoors/ for more. And there’s the North Kitsap Trails association at www.northkitsaptrails.org, where you can work outdoors and help keep up local trails.

• Sign up for an adult education class with your local park department or at Olympic College. If you’re really committed, check out the culinary program at Olympic College.

• Try bingo or bunco or trivia night at a local pub. There’s a schedule of pub trivia events throughout the county in Kitsap Weekly each Friday. A local group, called the Bunco Divas love playing Bunco, drinking responsibly, bringing a variety of food and beverage, having fun conversation, enjoying a wonderful host who prepares a delightful event and the social aspect of being able to just have fun for one night a month.

Find them at www.meetup.com/TheBunco-Divas. For bingo, all the local casinos offer it and there’s the ARC Bingo at 3243 Perry Ave. in Bremerton. Call 360-

377-5074 for hours and more information.

• Sign up for a cooking class. There’s always cooking demonstrations at Central Market in Poulsbo, and Town & Country on Bainbridge Island. Or try Heyday Farm on Bainbridge Island. Find more at www.haydayfarm.com. A recent class was Bolognese and Barolo, a class on pasta sauce making with a meal that followed.

• Try Kitsap Computing Seniors at www.kitsapcomputingseniors.org. This group is a place where you can go to get your techie questions answered while meeting others. The group meets at Sheridan Park Community Center, 680 Lebo Blvd., Bremerton.

• Volunteer at a nonprofit you support.

There’s the Kitsap Humane Society shelter for the animal lover in you, Habitat for Humanity if you’re more of a builder-type, and there’s always a need for more hands at all the local food banks. To find out more about local nonprofits go to www. kitsapgreatgive.org.

•And the Kitsap County website has a list of volunteer opportunities and county boards that have vacancies at www.kitsapgov.com/volunteer/default.htm. Another option are the local schools. Many of the elementary schools have a “Grandparent” program where you will be matched to a student and meet to read or do other projects.

• If you want to start online, try www. meetup.com and look for the Kitsap Singles group or the Peninsula Boomer Zoomers group.

Kitsap Singles is for any age person and it’s purpose is to get out and do things, not necessarily find someone to date. Their schedule is filled with things like Happy Hour at the Boat Shed in Bremerton, Trivia Time at Whiskey Creek Steakhouse, Hike 4 Miles, and even a weekend white water rafting trip.

They also offer “Rock and Bowl” in Silverdale.

• The Peninsula Boomer Zoomers is a singles activity group for ages 50 and above on the Kitsap Peninsula. Members come from Gig Harbor to Port Angeles and all points in between. The goal is to get out and play. Activities include dinner, movies, hiking, camping, traveling, parties, playing cards, dancing, bike riding, wine tasting, museums, bowling, mini golf, rafting, kayaking, boating, coffee, plays, outdoor concerts and indoor concerts.

Nothing’s easy about aging in place

By TERRYL ASLA

tasla@soundpublishing.com

No matter how old (or young) you are, you need to read Aaron Murphy’s book, “Aging in Place,” before you buy or rent your next home.

I wish this book had been available back in 2012 when my wife and I made our last move.

As a professional in the senior housing field, I was determined that we buy find a home and location with features that would enable us to live there the rest of our lives; what Miller calls aging in place and defines as “the concept that you can and should be able to stay in your residence or current living situation, or choose the location of your residence and your community, for the remainder of your life.”

So, I thought I knew what we needed.

What I didn’t know how to do was convince my wife.

To say that she didn’t share my concerns is putting it too mildly. The more adamant I became, the more resistant she became, at one point threatening to buy a three-story house with the bedroom on the top floor and the bathroom in the

basement, if I didn’t shut up about aging in place.

In retrospect, her concern wasn’t intellectual (she is way smarter than am I), but emotional. Like so many baby boomers, she didn’t want to admit she would ever be a senior. Eventually she realized the convenience features that make it easier to age in place are good for people of all ages; wide doors that are easy to navigate in a wheelchair also make it easier to move a big piece of furniture, too. And we wound up buying a house (or in our case a houseboat) that had most of the convenience features we may someday need.

Still, I could have saved myself, and her, several years of grief and arguments if Murphy’s book had been available — especially the section on how introduce the topic (“The Soft Startup,” page 34).

A Kitsap County architect and certified aging-in-place specialist, Murphy doesn’t spend a lot of time and pages on all of the possible physical features of a home designed for all ages. Rather, he focuses on the process of deciding why to buy or build such a home and how to get it done

Martha & Mary AT HOME offers geriatric care management

By LESLIE KELLY

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

C

harlie was an 84-year-old veteran who lived in Kitsap County. He had moved away, but came home to retire here. He didn’t have any family members close by.

As Charlie aged, he began to have health problems and he wound up in a local hospital. When he was feeling better, he wanted to go home, but the hospital wouldn’t release him until they knew he was returning to a healthy situation where he would get the care he needed.

That’s when Carrie Mulcahy, Director of Care Management for Martha & Mary AT HOME in Poulsbo, got a call from Charlie’s attorney asking for help.

“Many times in situations like this, the person is helped through the Division of Aging,” Mulcahy said. “But there are those gray areas where there’s no one to help. That’s where we come in.”

The Martha & Mary AT HOME care management program started in 2011. In her role, Mulcahy assesses a person’s current living situation, reviews their medical records, and makes suggestions about their current and future care needs.

“Initially, we got Charlie home care services through Martha & Mary AT HOME,” she said. “The program sends private duty in-home caregivers to help clients with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, housekeeping and medications oversite.”

He was having stomach and bowel trouble and he wasn’t eating right, she

said. “We worked with him and his caregivers to encourage a healthier diet. But he refused to go to the doctor. He feared he’d be sent back to the hospital and he didn’t want that.”

Fortunately, Mulcahy was able to find a physician who would see Charlie at his house for medical care.

Over time, Charlie ended up in the hospital emergency room following a bad fall.

He was placed in intensive care where it was soon discovered he had Stage Four cancer.

Working with the hospital discharge planners, Charlie agreed to a short term

Continued from page 21 successfully. As he points out, planning ahead can help you avoid having to move to a retirement community or assisted living facility and, in the process: • Save your hard-earned money.

• Save your lifestyle in your home.

• Extend your finances during retirement.

• Extend your happiness, longevity, and safety at home.

• Save your independence, your dignity, and your right to choose your housing situation (page 53).

He walks the reader through the process in a very logical and readable manner, including a number of real-life stories that put a human face on the facts and

stay at Martha & Mary Health and Rehab Center, but eventually he insisted on returning home.

“As time passed Charlie’s health got worse and he declined overall. At that point we worked to get Hospice services started for him and increased his in-home care to 24 hours a day,” Mulcahy said.

“What’s important in this story, is that Charlie was able to receive care on his own terms, the way he wanted to,” she said. “He was able to be at home and his wishes were respected.”

Like Charlie, most seniors out there in their 70s and 80s wish to actively participate in care decisions about their own health, Mulcahy said.

Because of the geriatric care program at Martha & Mary, there is a stopgap program in place to help seniors who do not have family in the area. Mulcahy said she works with family members who are out of state, attorneys, neighbors and caregivers with power of attorney.

“Sometimes they just need a home care expert to look at the big picture,” she said.

Generally, when she is called she does an initial assessment, looking at the residence, for safety issues, for its ease at which the senior can get about, and then she reviews records from physicians involved in the case.

“I look at the situation holistically, and at any physical concerns from my head to toe clinical assessment,” she said. “I work with other health care professionals to develop a comprehensive care plan that is geared toward meeting safety, health and

welfare needs.”

The initial assessment is about $300, and is privately paid, although some insurance companies are beginning to offer coverage for this service.

“From there, it depends on what issues are at play,” she said. “But a key focus of what I do, is to keep this services affordable for families that need it.”

Another example was a woman in her 90s who was hospitalized and needed to have her home assessed for safety.

Mulcahy knew the woman didn’t want to go into a nursing home, but once she saw the home where the woman lived, she determined it would not be safe for her to return home.

“The stove didn’t work and she had been using the shower as a closet,” Mulcahy said.

In that case, she was able to recommend to the client’s family that the woman move to an assisted living facility.

Mulcahy said geriatric care management began on the East Coast more than 25 years ago. It’s only made its way to this area in the past five years.

She has an LPN and a bachelor’s degree in health care administration and a master’s degree in health care management. She is certified by the National Academy of Certified Care Managers and a member of the Aging Life Care Association and is required to take continuing education annually.

To contact her at Martha & Mary AT HOME, call 360-394-5458, or email cmulcahy@marthaandmary.org.

figures.

First he provides the reader with background concerning the explosion in the number of older adults. Then, he explains what successful aging in place should look like. He then moves into the “how-to” process: how to start the discussion with your family; how to be an active listener; the importance of planning ahead and hiring a professional team to help; and, finally, choosing the right community.

If, like me, you are among the nine-outof-10 people who want to stay in their own homes for as long as possible, read this book.

Peninsula Hearing offers new Lyric hearing device

By MATT CLIFTON Peninsula Hearing

W

e have been offering a new and different concept in hearing care called the Lyric. Lyric has been around for a few years; however, Dr. Megan Nightingale at Peninsula Hearing in Poulsbo is the first hearing professional on the peninsula to offer Lyric. The Lyric concept is one similar to extended wear contact lenses for the eye.

For those clients for whom Lyric is a good fit, they tout their natural hearing ability with little inconvenience or fuss.

Lyric is still the only extended wear hearing device available.

The concept centers on a very small device (about the size of a pinto bean) that is placed deep in the ear canal within about 4 millimeters of the ear drum.

The device stays put in the canal until the battery dies which can be up to 4 months. The device is then taken out of

A new way of defining ‘age’

By TERRYL ASLA

tasla@soundpublishing.com

Human beings are not cans of soup.

There’s no expiration date when you magically become “old.” Still, the most widely used definition of “old” remains age 65, the calendar age that for most of the 20th century was the point in life at which Americans became eligible for Social Security.

But it turns out there was no scientific reason for government officials to choose that particular age.

Social Security was set up during the darkest days of the Great Depression and officials back then were focused on setting up a national pension system that would encourage older men to leave the struggling job market. A historian who studied U.S. retirement history, William Graebner, reported that before officials settled on age 65, they considered going as young as age 50 and as old as age 70.

After the National Institute on Aging (NIA) was created in 1974, research on aging in this country began in earnest. Most NIA aging research applications defined “old” as aged 60 or 65 years and older. This further solidified calendar age in the minds of scholars and the public.

But as research progressed, it became

apparent people over 65 years of age weren’t all alike. In an effort to avoid comparing apples to oranges, researchers tried dividing old age into three stages: the young-old (aged 65-74), the old (aged 75-84), and the very old (aged 85-plus). That didn’t work so well either. Some researchers reported that the three age groups still appeared to be made up of both the healthy and unhealthy, even among the very old.

In 2010, Robert Butler, MD, founding director of the National Institution on Aging, admitted “there is nothing magical or scientific about 65 …or any other number in defining old age.”

So what is “old?”

All definitions of everything, not just the concept of “old,” are based on classification systems developed by human beings. It’s how we make sense of the world. “This is a newspaper.” “That is a car.” “He is old.”

The important thing to remember about classification systems is that they need to accurately define groups of things or people that share the same characteristics.

In the case of “old,” a meaningful classification is one in which everyone who is said to be “old” shares most of the same characteristics.

Beginning in the 1980s, some research-

a new one placed back in the canal.

The device is designed to be worn 24 hours a day – seven days a week. While the thought of a traditional hearing aid being worn 24/7 is not very pleasant, Lyric when properly placed in the ear canal can hardly be felt.

The mechanics of the Lyric is surrounded by a spongy material that allows moisture to escape and the ear canal to breathe which is very important for ear canal health.

The advantage of having a hearing device placed so close to the ear drum is that the sound is very natural because not as much amplification is needed as with a traditional device.

Also, by virtue of the placement of Lyric the brain can take advantage of the ears natural background noise fighting capabilities. Lyric is very convenient for the user as well.

One does not have to change batteries

or take the device on and off the ear. The device can be adjusted for volume and turned into what is called sleep mode for nighttime use by using a magnet tool.

Lyric is sold on a subscription basis for one, two or three years at a time. The makers of Lyric and Nightingale do state that Lyric is clearly not for everyone.

There are some people who cannot have anything in their ear canal and some whose hearing issues are so great that it is beyond the amplification ability of the device.

For the people who have tried it, and liked it however, it is a miracle.

“They rave about it,” said Nightingale.

Should Lyric not be right for you, we do offer a variety of traditional styles with the latest technology.

ers in the fields of sociology and psychology suggested dividing later life in two. So, besides childhood (the first age) and middle age (second age), they proposed a third age (the well elderly or “wellderly”) and a fourth age (the “illderly”). So, older adults, regardless of their calendar age, who are in relatively good health and socially engaged may be said to be in the third age. The fourth age is typified by the onset of all the negative stereotypes of old age: failing health and increasing social isolation.

What makes this new classification system so useful is that it compares apples to apples. Membership in the fourth age is based on measurable losses in three or more of the following: vision, hearing, mobility, cognition, strength, and physical illness. So, someone can be classified as being in the fourth age when they are still in their 50s if, for example, they have early onset Alzheimer’s disease. Or, like some of my friends, can still be in the third age even when they are well up into their 90s.

Calendar age has nothing to do with it.

Four ages theory can be extremely useful if you are concerned about a parent, friend, or loved one. If they exhibit three or more of those losses, then they should be encouraged to seriously consider the need for additional assistance. Adapting a home to meet changing physical needs, participating in restorative exercise programs that target mobility and strength losses, moving closer to their caregivers — these are the kinds

of things that can help them prolong their quality of life, independence, and sense of aging successfully.

Not sure if a friend or loved one is in the fourth age? In 2013, I reported on my findings from a small study that included comparing driving a vehicle and membership in the third or fourth ages. I found that participants in the third age, who had none of the losses listed above, still drove regularly. Those on the cusp of the fourth age (one to two losses) tended to self-restrict their driving and avoided driving at night.

Those in the fourth age no longer drove at all and were dependent on others for transportation.

My findings were supported by the kinds of losses leading to driving cessation reported in the driving safety research literature.

Bear in mind that driving cessation may not be a valid indicator in all cases. Some healthy people don’t drive at all, or only rarely, because they choose not to or don’t need to. They may live in an urban village where everything is within easy walking distance or in a community that has great mass transit. Likewise, some individuals in the fourth age may continue to drive a vehicle simply because they have no other option or even out of sheer stubbornness.

At age 71, Asla is still in the third age. In addition to writing for peer-reviewed academic journals, he is a reporter for the North Kitsap Herald and assistant editor of Kitsap Military Times.
