Expectations were turned on their head in two Kitsap County political contests during Tuesday night’s primary election, as the perceived front-runners came in third and were disqualified in their respective races.

Republican Tim Matthes drew the most votes in the South Kitsap commissioner’s race, followed by Democrat Charlotte Garrido.

Monty Mahan, who was the first to declare for the seat and earned the endorsement of local mayors, came in third (See related story, page A3).

and pension rates along with inflation as issues.

In addition to the money saved on custodians, Patton said the district will dip into its reserve fund for $1.72 million.

She said that’s not all bad because the district saved more than it anticipated in its last fiscal year, which ends Aug. 31.

Patton said they also will save through not filling other vacant positions in the district, and through cutting expenses on supplies.

The board unanimously adopted the budget.

Anti-tobacco legislation making its way through Olympia would close a downtown small business, as well as many others around the state, if passed into law.

The South Kitsap School District is a little closer to closing its $2.9 million deficit for the upcoming school year.

Terri Patton, assistant superintendent for business and support services, said at Wednesday’s school board meeting that the district won’t replace five full-time custodians who left the district after the last school year.

She said that will save the district $250,000.

Patton said the deficit stems from unforeseen circumstances when the district presented its last levy to voters in 2004.

She cited escalating teacher salaries

chasing it last spring.

City Development Director James Weaver confirmed that Keehn received a conditional-use permit to operate a onechair hair salon out of her home, which he described as “pretty innocuous” and something that doesn’t typically reach “the level of intensive use,” as far as impacts on the neighborhood are concerned.

Cronan, who lives on the 200 block of Flower Meadows Street in Port Orchard, said she believed the attack was part of an ongoing dispute with Keehn, whom she alleges has been running a hair salon out of her home without a business license and in defiance of a city “stop-work” order.

Keehn, 30, said she filed for permission from the city of Port Orchard to operate a hair salon out of her home on the 2300 block of Flower Avenue soon after pur-

activities she reported as stemming from Keehn’s attempts to operate a business out of her home.

Weaver said following an April 11 hearing with the city’s Hearing Examiner, certain conditions were placed on Keehn’s permit to mitigate Cronan’s concerns before she would be allowed to operate her business. “(Keehn) has addressed all but one of those conditions, with the last being the letter from the (Kitsap County) Health Department,” Weaver said, explaining that Keehn’s current sewer facilities are

South Kitsap Fire & Rescue officials have decided to seek renewal of the district’s emergency services levy on the April 17 special election ballot.

This is a temporary emergency services levy that voters first approved in 2009, and it represents about $2 million of the $12 million in total tax revenue that funds the district for this year. SKFR Chief Wayne Senter said Brett Cihon/Staff photo

Removal of Bay Street power poles will begin soon

By BRETT CIHON

PSE begins installation of new transmission line to area substations

Staff writer

Eyesore? Not for much longer.

Within weeks, Puget Sound Energy will take down several utility poles near the intersection of Sidney Avenue and Bay Street as power lines for local businesses are switched to below ground.

Mark Dorsey, the city’s public works director, said the city sent out a letter in midDecember to property owners around Sydney and Bay notifying them that they had 90 days to connect to underground service points. After the 90 days are up, the poles — along with their jumble of wires — will begin to come down.

“At any point after mid-February PSE will remove a main pole in front of the library, the pole to the west in front of Myrhe’s, the pole by the Kitsap Transit ferry dock and the pole

by Amy’s,” Dorsey said, noting some others may come down, too.

The pole removal is part of a long, sometimes convoluted journey, he said. The city and PSE entered into a Project Design Agreement for a Bay Street Underground Conversion project in 2006

Several utility poles will be removed soon as power lines to Bay Street businesses are relocated underground. that would convert all of the stores along Bay Street to power sourced from underground.

The agreement meant a 60/40 cost sharing with the company, but also meant the city would have to keep on a tight project schedule. It was signed under the idea that a more complete Bay Street redevelopment was imminent.

“If downtown were basically bulldozed this would go much faster,” Dorsey said. “Because the downtown isn’t redeveloping in one chunk, it’s difficult to do a broad under-grounding.”

The agreement and schedule became effective when the city needed to install underground infrastucture in advance of the State Route 166 repaving proj-

ect. Underground conduits, vaults and surface restoration was were installed, but the system was never energized.

The city has allocated $98,500 in 2012 to move ahead with the plan. Because of those budget limitations, only a small number of poles can come down at a time.

“It will be noticeable down-

town,” Dorsey said. “But it won’t be the sun coming out and birds chirping. You’ll still see some power poles.”

Dorsey doesn’t know if Slip45 and Myrhe’s have connected to underground power stations yet because both those build-

Puget Sound Energy recently began construction above existing electric distribution lines in Port Orchard in an effort to improve electric reliability in the area.

PSE will work through May to construct a new transmission line — carrying high-voltage electricity from power generation sources to substations in the community — above existing lines along Mitchell Avenue, Southeast Mile Hill Drive, Baby Doll Road and Collins Road East.

The new transmission line will go a long way in improving service for area customers and meeting growing demand, said PSE representative Gretchen Alibadi.

“The main reason is reliablity,” Alibadi said. “It’s a better system.”

Construction of the line running between the

East Port Orchard and Manchester substations will entail replacing utility poles along the route with taller poles and installing the new transmission wire.

The addition of the new line will create a “loop”, meaning the substations will be fed by two transmission lines instead of just one.

The work will take place from Mondays through Fridays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from approximately 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Traffic delays in areas along Mile Hill Drive should be expected, and signs and flaggers will help direct traffic.

The transmission line project is one of three projects PSE has initiated in the past few years to upgrade the electric system serving the area.

ings are currently vacant. But he thinks all the other stores in the area that have been notified have, or are close to, switched their power over.

“My hope is everything is done and in place prior to midFebruary,” he said.

SKSD, Port set up safe overnight parking for homeless Families with kids in local schools will be able to use downtown lot

By BRETT CIHON Staff writer

Homeless families with children enrolled in South Kitsap schools should be able to park overnight soon in a lot on the Port Orchard waterfront.

The Port of Bremerton is partnering with South Kitsap School District to allow families and teenagers who live in their cars a place to park and sleep overnight, port CEO Tim Thomson said.

“We all should do what we can to show some support to people who are in a less fortunate position,” Thomson said.

“Here we have an opportunity to help some people.”

The lot, which is across the street from City Hall and the Port Orchard Police Department, is leased by the port from the city. It will have several spaces available for families who obtain a special parking permit through the school district.

Port Orchard police Chief Al Townsend said the idea, spearheaded by local homeless advocate Sally Santana, was easy to get behind.

The lot will be open for families and students from 9 p.m. until 7 a.m. The port will keep the public restrooms at the boat launch open overnight. Private security officers who work for the port will monitor the lot.

Dave Colombini, the school district’s director of school

and family support, said families will be require to get a permit issued by SKSD to park Sally Santana overnight.

The language of the permits is still being drafted, but if all goes to plan, the lot should be open to families soon.

“Once we’ve got this permit thing figured out we’ll be ready to go,” he said. “Hopefully that happens in the next week or so.”

The Water Street lot was chosen because of its proximity to the police department.

The safety of the families was a priority when choosing a location, Colombini said.

“A lot of times homeless people are scared of their situation,” he said. “We want them to feel like they can go in to this parking lot and be safe, both from people trying to harm them and to know they don’t have to worry about parking in an illegal place.”

Colombini didn’t know how many families might use the lot. It’s hard to get an accurate estimate on the number of SKSD students who are homeless, he said, because families don’t typically want to share that information.

The number of requests for special transportation under the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act —

which mandates that school districts provide transportation to homeless students who move outside their district — has risen to about 12 students in South Kitsap, Colombini said.

SKSD is the first district in the area to implement an overnight parking lot like this for homeless families, he said. The district will issue permits as administrators become aware of families who need a safe place to park. Often, he said, district officials find out about families who are homeless through the students themselves.

“It’s only through our relationships we have with the kids,” Colombini said. “And really for every 20 kids who we know are homeless, we have double that amount in reality.”

Santana called SKSD “innovative and forward thinking” in their effort to provide a safe area for homeless families to park their cars.

“They understand that this is a piece of the puzzle to help homeless families,” she said.

Santana is a member of the Kitsap Continuum of Care Coalition, a group of about 40 organizations striving to address the issues of home-

lessness in Kitsap County. She led the push to get the space for families close to the police department.

Like Colombini, she agrees that a safe place to park was paramount for kids, who along with everything else they face in a homeless situation, have to worry about test scores and homework.

“People frequently forget that in a case with a family, they are scared of people coming against them,” she said.

“Every person wants safety and security for their families.”

Many homeless park far out of the way of the city center, she said. She sees the step of acknowledging homeless families with children in the school district as a step in the right direction.

“They won’t have to hide, they won’t have to be afraid,” she said.

Townsend welcomes the use of the lot across from City Hall and doesn’t think it will cause any problems. However, he finds it hard to believe that it will be utilized because of its location.

“I’m not convinced people will be parking on one of the busier streets and broadcasting they are homeless,” he said.

city clerk Kirkpatrick says mayor gave no reason why she was dismissed

Patti Kirkpatrick, right, is shown with her office team at the Jingle Bell Run in downtown Port Orchard on Dec. 3.

CONTINUED FROM A1

“it was my idea” for Kirkpatrick to leave.

He also said he could not comment because of “pending negotiations” with her, presumably over a severance agreement.

Kirkpatrick was guarded in her comments during a phone conversation Tuesday, saying initially that she wanted to make this statement: “It’s been an honor to be of service to the citizens and the city of Port Orchard. I was inspired by their can-do spirit and I wish them the very best.”

She was hired as deputy city clerk in 2007, and was promoted to her department head

File photo

position by former Mayor Lary Coppola after he took office in 2008.

As for why she’s out of a job now, Kirkpatrick said she got no explanation about that.

“I was let go,” she said. “I asked for a reason and none was given. I was told by the mayor that he was letting me go.”

While it’s not uncommon

for a new mayor to make personnel changes when he takes office, some City Council members questioned Matthes’ decision to dismiss a city department head after such a short time in office.

“My executive training and experience taught me not to make any big changes for six months when assuming a new management position,” Councilman Jim Colebank said in a statement emailed to the Port Orchard Independent.

“Therefore, 27 days seems a bit premature to me.

“I was never informed of any performance concerns with Mrs. Kirkpatrick and I thought her performance was exemplary the four years I’ve dealt with her. The reason Port Orchard has been so successful the last four years was due in part to the excellent team of department heads we had in place.

Friday, February 3, 2012 • Port Orchard Independent

“I understand that the department head positions are ‘at will’ to enable a new mayor to assemble their own team, but it will be a real challenge to improve on the current team.”

Former Mayor Lary Coppola and other council members said Kirkpatrick was competent and helpful in doing her job. Coppola, who lost his re-election bid by five votes to Matthes in November, also sent an emailed statement to the newspaper.

“Patti is exceptionally wellqualified, as a City Clerk, which is why I promoted her from deputy clerk four years ago, and why she is recognized among her peers, as well as by other local elected officials, as one of the best in the region,” Coppola said.

Councilman Jerry Childs noted that “the new guy coming in always has an opportunity to choose his staff,” but

he thought it was “premature” for the new mayor to dismiss Kirkpatrick less than a month after he took office.

“She helped me with lot of things over the last four years, and I have good regards for her and wish her well,” Childs said.

Cindy Lucarelli is a council newcomer after being elected in November, but she worked extensively with city officials in her capacity as executive director of the nonprofit that staged Cedar Cove Days in Port Orchard.

“Anytime I had contact with Patti she was extra helpful and I got everything I needed,” Lucarelli said.

As for her plans, Kirkpatrick said she might seek a job with Kitsap County.

“I guess I’ll just kind of take breather, and find out what’s out there and find the job that best fits me,” she said.

Pickup driver dies in crash in front of wife’s vehicle A man killed in a crash Monday when his pickup drifted off a road in South Kitsap was driving right in front of his wife, the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office reported.

Trenton C. Bennett, 36, of Vaughn, Wash., was southbound on Carney Lake Road near the Pierce County line on Monday afternoon while speaking on a Bluetooth headset to his wife, who was following in another vehicle.

According to the report, Bennett’ wife said that shortly after they ended their conversation, she watched as his 2006 Ford pickup went off the road and into a ditch.

Bennett, who wasn’t wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the truck as it overturned, and the truck then rolled over and came to rest with its wheels on top of him. He suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene, the sheriff’s office reported.

EDITORIAL New mayor uses his firing authority; will he say why?

O

ur new mayor isn’t saying why he fired City Clerk Patti Kirkpatrick, who’s described by current and past city officials as someone who was competent and helpful.

Tim Matthes, who’s only been in office a few weeks, won’t even admit he fired her. He tried to pass it off euphemistically as a “separation.”

There may be some undisclosed City Hall machinations involved here that nobody’s willing to discuss on the record.

But if there’s a plausible and rational explanation for canning a supervisor who by all accounts seemed to perform her duties effectively, then the public is entitled to hear it.

But don’t expect to hear any such explanation from the mayor of his decision ... if it was in fact his decision.

In his campaign, Matthes often talked about the need for more public input on city government decisions, and for more transparency about how those decisions are made. Unless that was just hollow campaign talk, he needs to practice what he preached.

So maybe someone should ask him at an upcoming City Council meeting to publicy explain his questionable decision to use his authority to fire an at-will employee. And remind him to be transparent about how that decision made with no public input is in the best interest of the citizens who elected him.

Ask him how firing someone — perhaps because his handlers didn’t like the person — makes Port Orchard better for people.

SKFR to decide ballot measure’s terms Anyone wanting to tell our South Kitsap Fire and Rescue commissioners their opinion about the upcoming property tax ballot measure should speak up by next week’s meeting.

The SKFR commissioners will be considering what to put on the ballot for an election in April, and they will have to make their decision at one of the two February meetings.

The ballot measure’s purpose is to replace a temporary lid lift approved by voters in 2006 which expires at the end of this year.

In 2006 voters approved a lid lift for the regular operations levy that provided enough revenue — together with federal grant funds — to hire personnel to staff an additional station on Bethel Road.

In 2009 voters approved an increase in the emergency medical services (EMS) levy that provided enough funds — together with federal grants and the regular operations levy — to hire personnel to staff an additional station near Manchester.

The idea was to improve response times by having more personnel available to respond to calls and by putting those additional people in areas where they could do the most good.

Now the question is how to maintain the added response capabilities with declining EMS levy revenue and the ending of the federal grants that made it possible to afford the increased capabilities earlier than otherwise could have been done.

If voters don’t approve a lid lift to replace the one that expires this year, SKFR’s regular operations levy limit for 2013 will be what it would

BOB MEADOWS Independent Columnist have been had the 2006 lid lift never occurred — about $7.2 million.

This year’s regular operations levy is $8,840,542; and rather than increasing in 2013, it would fall to $7.2 million without a replacement lid lift.

Assuming total assessed property valuation for 2013 taxes falls by about 5 percent as it did for this year’s taxes, the EMS levy would decline by about $160,000 from the current $3,210,967.

We won’t know the total assessed valuation for 2013 taxes until this autumn, but it seems reasonable to plan for a decline that is similar to what happened for this year’s taxes.

The total levied by SKFR this year is just over $12 million, but with a 5 percent decline in assessed valuation and no replacement lid lift it would drop to about $10.2 million.

SKFR is now considering what tax rate would be needed to collect the same total levy amount in 2013 as is levied this year. In other words, no increase in the total would be levied.

While some may wish for a tax cut, others might wonder if staying the same from this year to the next is really feasible.

A tax cut would force a reduction in response capability, since taking back

the increase approved in 2006 takes away most of the revenue needed to staff those two additional stations.

Staying with the same total levy amount rather than increasing it will squeeze SKFR’s budget, but the squeeze can hardly be avoided.

Already SKFR employees have gone without cost of living adjustments this year and last year to balance revenue and expenditures.

Until property values begin to rise after declining for the past few years, district employees will be faced with the same sort of squeeze. No lid lift can exceed the maximum tax rate, and SKFR is approaching that maximum.

State law requires the commissioners to place a tax rate on the ballot for voter approval rather than a levy amount, so they have to choose a rate that is likely to allow them to levy a total of $12 million for 2013.

Assuming a 5 percent decline in total valuation for 2013 taxes, the tax rate on the ballot has to be $1.48 per $1,000.

If voters approve the rate on the ballot, and if the assumed total valuation isn’t too optimistic, SKFR can levy for 2013 what they are now considering — the same total as is levied this year.

If property values fall less than 5 percent, SKFR can levy $12 million for 2013 and not levy all that they could with the approved lid lift — just as they have since 2006 when they promised to use only so much of that year’s lid lift as they needed.

Fire district’s standard of coverage How does your fire department determine where to put staffing and equipment in the community? South Kitsap Fire and Rescue (SKFR), as an accredited fire agency, maintains and operates under a document called the Standard of Coverage (SOC).

Each accredited agency is required to draft an SOC that is specific to the community they serve. The SOC becomes the master document that guides the deployment and utilization of the community’s resources in providing fire and emergency medical services.

The document breaks down the community into areas classified by population density. Emergency service agencies have historically found that population density tends to generate a greater need for service. These areas of higher population create a higher call volume and also have an expectation for quicker service.

An example of how this expectation for timely service varies is expressed in a simple breakdown of time and distance.

If you are in downtown Port Orchard and break your arm, you have a different expectation for help to arrive than if you had the same injury on Blake Island or another rural area of the district. The major challenge here is the time it takes the responders to travel from where they are to where the emergency is located.

There are three density classifications within the 118 square miles that make up the South Kitsap community.

They are urban, suburban, and rural.

Geographically, SKFR has 4 percent urban, 11 percent suburban and 85 percent rural. The majority of people, 51percent of the 72,240 population served, are located within the urban and suburban areas, and 61 percent of all emergency calls for service occur inside these urban and suburban areas.

Children take back seat again To the editor: Comments: Children of Washington State take a back seat in the legislature again. Plastic bags, driving in the rain with headlights, and “gay marriage” are much more important in Olympia.

Kids can’t vote, so year after year the arrogant, self-centered elected “leaders” of our State ignore our schools. Frank Chop has an iron grip on every Democrat in the House. Nothing sees the light of day without his blessing.

The Senate is the same. The Governor gives lip service. She called a special session of the legislature, paid them for doing

GUEST OPinion SKFR’s SOC is based upon industrybest practices and nationally recognized standards for total response times. The time expectations for urban areas are shorter (quicker response) than for the suburban and rural areas of the community. This is based partly on the expected risks in the areas and the time it takes to travel the greater distances involved in the suburban and rural responses.

The services provided by any fire rescue organization are time sensitive. SKFR responds to both fire and emergency medical requests for service, each of these have a time sensitive aspect to them.

Fires grow at an exponential rate in what we call a time/temperature/survivability curve. Emergency medical treatment for cardiac arrests, respiratory distress, or uncontrolled bleeding has a 4 to 6 minute timeframe for successful interventions to be delivered.

SKFR staffs eight of the 16 fire stations in the South Kitsap community on a 24-hour basis. All of these stations, except for one, have two personnel on duty. Station 31 (Tremont Street) in Port Orchard is the exception with four onduty.

All Firefighters are either Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) or Paramedics because over 70% of our work is emergency medical. Each two-person fire station has a medical vehicle and fire engine. Depending on the nature of the call, that crew takes the appropriate vehicle.

Each emergency task has been analyzed to determine how many people are needed and what skills and tools they need to provide a successful outcome. We call this

letters nothing, and still has no budget solution.

While bloated bureaucracies mushroom and gorge on tax dollars, children in our schools receive less and less. But teachers and principals are held accountable when their schools cannot meet all the mandates the state imposes.

The State Supreme Court ruled the legislature is not meeting its Constitutional responsibility; Frank Chop says they’ll “try” to fix that by 2018. So, what happens to our children between now and then?

It will take a decade to rebuild the pro-

critical tasking and the effective response force. A person complaining of chest pain requires four people, one of which must be certified as a Paramedic the other three as EMTs. On a typical house fire the effective response force consists of 13.

Since our community is geographically large, we find better medical outcomes by staffing fire stations with crews of two.

This allows teams of two to arrive quicker to begin stabilizing the patient. We measure how long it takes the initial team and the entire effective response force to arrive on all calls.

Spreading the teams of two throughout the district improves what we call reliability for our initial response. Initial crews can start medical treatment or fire suppression activities as additional help responds from the next-closest stations. In cases involving medical aid, EMT crews can start basic life support as a tiered response of advanced life-support units respond in behind them. This type of layered response has proven to provide the best level of success in a community as diverse as South Kitsap.

Accreditation and its industry-best standards mean that we constantly look for the best method of service delivery with the resources our community funds.

It has positioned us to continue a credible emergency service delivery program as we enter our 12th year as an accredited agency through the Center for Public Safety Excellence.

grams, libraries, teaching staff, etc., and in the meantime, more kids are robbed of the one thing that most parents can’t provide without public schools.

This illegal and senseless tragedy has occurred over several terms, but Governor Gregoire has presided over the latest most egregious attacks on our schools. Her legacy and that of her legislative body of friends will be the disintegration of Washington State public schools.

State senate passes bill to legalize same-sex marriage WNPA Olympia News Bureau

As Senate president Brad Owen announced Wednesday night that the same-sex marriage bill had passed, an anxious audience of hundreds watching attentively during tense floor debate erupted with applause.

The bill, which had bipartisan support, passed in the Senate 28-21. The bill has already garnered enough support in the House after it moves through committees to pass and is expected to be on the governor’s desk early next week.

Opponents to the bill are expected to file a referendum if the governor signs the bill into law. A referendum would allow Washington’s voters to decide whether to adopt, ratify or reject the legislation.

A minimum of 120,577 signatures of registered voters are required to qualify a referendum for the fall ballot, which must be submitted by June 6.

Voters in 2009 easily ratified the state’s “Everything but Marriage” domestic partnership law, a precursor to the marriage equality bill approved by the Senate.

All told, seven floor amendments were passed, most of which provided protections for religious organizations, including churches, faith-based and religious educational institutions and religious officials that could refuse services related to the solemnization or celebration of a marriage.

Should the governor, who requested the legislation, sign the bill into law next week, Washington will become the seventh state in the nation to legalize samesex marriage.

Legalize pot ... to make it harder for teenagers to find Ten years ago it was easier to find pot in high school than it was to find beer.

And I don’t think things have changed.

Don’t get me wrong.

My teenage days were filled with skateboard videos and Advanced Placement English tests, not bong rips and 40-ouncers.

But I was around drinking and drugs. I went to Taken from the parties. And I distinctly staff blogs at remember my friends www.portorchard who did smoke or independent.com drink discussing how much easier it was to find a bowl than a beer.

I bring this up because of an article I read last week in the New York Times. According to “A Push to Legalize Marijuana Like Alcohol,” backers of a bill in Colorado are trying to legalize the possession of marijuana in small amounts. They want the state to regulate it, put strict laws on its consumption and sell it only to those 21 and up.

An advocate for the Colorado bill quoted in the article said the goal of legalization isn’t easier access to marijuana, but “to make our communities safer by regulating this substance, taking it out of the underground market, controlling it and better keeping it away from young people.”

A measure similar to Colorado’s bill is expected to appear on ballots here in Washington State this fall.

Brett Cihon I like this plan. And not because I personally want to go down to the local grocery store and be able to buy a bag. I don’t smoke. I’ve never liked it. I’m in the “tried it in college and it made me paranoid” category.

Yet I do want to see pot legalized.

First, true to my libertarian leanings, I think responsible adults should be able to smoke if that’s what they desire. If John Q. works 40 hours a week, pays his mortgage, takes care of his children and wants to light up a J on Saturday night and eat a gallon of ice cream while watching “Super Bad,” more power to him.

More than this, though, pot should be legal because I think a tightly regulated system would make it harder for teenagers to buy weed. Kids smoking before they are grown adults, not giving their minds proper time to develop in a sober frame, is extremely damaging. I saw enough friends in high school “burn out” to know this for sure.

Tight regulation would make it harder for kids to get pot, and make it harder for them to “burn out” in high school.

Of course, my claims are not necessarily backed up in hard numbers. They’re just from memories of high school days. Memories that remain clear.

It’s also clear that if kids want something bad enough, they can find it. That’s why, above all, it’s important for parents to talk to their kids about the dangers of drug use at an early age.

This talk is probably best done before parents light up that aforementioned joint.

Fire caused by heater destroys logging family’s workshop

By BRETT CIHON Staff writer

Fire ripped through the workspace of a small family logging business in South Kitsap on Sunday, destroying a shop that had stood for 30 years.

Don Boehme, 72, the owner of Don Boehme and Son Logging, was cutting wood on the property Sunday afternoon with his son, J.D. Boehme, and his grandson, J.R. Boehme, when the nearly 1,800-squarefoot garage and workshop pivotal to their business operations caught on fire after an orchard heater used to keep the shop warm malfunctioned.

The three worked in the shop throughout the day but had gone out for a while to cut wood, Don Boehme said.

When they came back, the workshop and adjacent garage were billowing with smoke.

He said they tried to save what they could from the fire.

By then, they knew everything else in the garage was lost.

“There was so much smoke and heat,” Boehme said. “We had to let the fire go.”

The men also worried the fire would reach the family

home, which is only about 15 feet from the garage.

“There were flames shooting out the garage towards the house,” he said. “We were worried it would get the house, too.”

Joan Boehme, Don’s wife, said they had wanted to connect the house to the garage for years. Thank God we didn’t, she said.

SKFR crews arrived in time to save the house, but

the garage was engulfed by the blaze.

Kitsap County Fire Marshall David Lynam determined on Monday that the fire was started by a runaway orchard heater — a large, antiquated device that malfunctioned and lost the ability to cool.

the blaze took less than five minutes, J.D. Boehme said, the garage couldn’t be saved. Two cars, a $20,000 truck engine, a transmission and an assortment of logging tools and equipment was lost. J.D. Boehme said they plan to rebuild the business, which started in 1977, but it will take some time.

“It’s going hurt a bit,” he said.

The men had spent the day working on a new engine to put in the log truck, using time during the down season and a depressed logging economy.

“We haven’t worked in the last couple weeks because of the snow, and logging is slow right now,” Boehme said. “We were trying to put a new engine in the truck.”

The slowdown has been especially tough for a small logging contractor that employees only family members. The Boehmes hold out hope that they can recoup their losses and get back to work soon, even though so much of what they had is gone.

“You’ll see, we’ll be back to work in a couple of weeks,” J.D Boehme said. “You got to keep working.”

Partnering with Freegal, a service that allows access to music online, the Kitsap Regional Library now offers free, downloadable music to all library members. Under the partnership, users will be able to download up to three songs a week from a catalog of more than 1.5 million tunes.

The songs, mostly a collection from Sony Music and a group of independent record companies, are accessible from any home computer and the nine library branches.

Downloadable songs are another way Kitsap Regional Library has increased its overall online collection of materials, said John Fossett, KRL’s collection manager. Joining with Freegal and the Library Ideas network of public library websites that offer free access to songs brings the library’s resources right into people’s homes.

“Offering these songs is another way to add to our electronic resources,” Fossett said. “We thought our patrons would be interested in the service.”

Freegal allows up to three song downloads a week. The songs are high-quality MP3 files that are compatible with iTunes and other music library software. The files are legal downloads, guaranteed to be free of

viruses, Fossett said.

“They are great, quality files,” he said. “Perfect for a sound system.”

Since the free service started on Jan. 26, Fossett said more than 400 songs had been downloaded

by Tuesday night, with 135 unique users for an average of 68 tracks per day. The lion’s share of the downloads were pop songs, he said.

He expects the number to increase over time as more people learn of the service. The service was something the library has been negotiating with for a while, and it wasn’t until the price came down and the catalog of songs went up that KRL was able to partner with Freegal.

“We stayed away so long because it was a cost thing,” he said. “But the price point came down and they basically tripled the size of the database.”

Fossett has started to download music into his private collection.

He downloaded some classic rock tunes to listen to while cooking dinner.

“I was cranking some Loggins & Messina,” he said with a laugh.

“That is, if you can crank Loggins & Messina.”

Library users can download music by visiting www.krl.org and clicking on the Books, Movies and Music tab. From there, users should click Download Music from Freegal to access the catalog.

Wolves can’t match CK’s late burst, fall 70-54 South faces critical league game tonight at Gig Harbor

By TIM KELLY Editor

South’s Kellen Traxel defends Central Kitsap guard Michael Thomas during Wednesday night’s game in the Wolves’ gym.

Just when it looked like South Kitsap may have regained momentum and would start the fourth quarter tied, Central Kitsap’s Tyler Parker sank a 3-point buzzer-beater and had chance at a four-point play when he was fouled with two-tenths of a second left in the third period.

Although he missed the free throw, the Wolves couldn’t recover. The visiting Cougars put the 4A Narrows League game out of reach with an 11-2 run to start the fourth quarter and went on to win, 70-54.

“When we needed a hoop, we just couldn’t find it,” South coach John Callaghan said after the Wolves (5-6 league, 9-8 overall) were outscored 22-9 in the final period. “It just kind of unraveled for us there in a three- or fourminute stretch.”

Diamond’s not forever: Softball coach shifts to track After many years of fastpitch success at SK, Ballew ready to make a change

By BRETT CIHON Staff writer

A big decision.

That’s what Kathy Ballew called her move to step down as South Kitsap High School’s fastpitch coach and jump on as co-head coach of the Wolves track and field program.

“I have been doing fastpitch for so long,” she said. “I thought I kind of need to be energized at this point in my life. And I still want to work with kids and share my love for sports.”

Ballew, a South Kitsap grad and physical education teacher at the school, began coaching the girls softball program in 1989. Then a slowpitch team, she helped spearhead the team’s transformation to fastpitch in 1992.

She led her teams to a record of 320-127 in 22 years as head coach, including eight league championships and four district titles. She also led the

Wolves to a state championship in 1995.

Ballew will now take her coaching talents to the track and field program, joining cohead coach Paul Zimmer this spring.

A track athlete throughout high school, Ballew became reinvigorated with running when she took the job as assis-

tant cross country coach five years ago, she said. Running sparked her competitive side, and she soon began running in local races, including the Yukon Do It local marathon last winter.

“I started them for fun, but I’m a competitive person,” she said, chuckling. “5k’s and races keep me motivated. I go faster

and faster, and I try to beat my time.”

Along Zimmer and four assistant coaches, Ballew said the SK track program will be able to specialize training for individuals depending on the coaches’ areas of expertise.

She is also looking forward to the variety of track an field.

Three from SK make college choices official Independent staff report

On national signing day for high school seniors, a trio of South Kitsap seniors took part in the annual ritual of officially declaring where they’ll attend college and continue their athletic careers.

Bri Smallage, a standout goalkeeper on the Wolves soccer team, is staying closest to home and has accepted a scholarship to Seattle University.

“Bri is one of our hardest players in my whole career to replace here,” South soccer coach Julie Cain said at Wednesday morning’s ceremony.

Julie Steiger has committed to play basketball at Western Oregon University in Monmouth.

“To see her growth from the last couple of years has been amazing’” girls basketball coach Mike Hulet said. “She’s a team leader and a complete player, and I know she’s going to have a great career at Western Oregon.”

Aaron LaDeaux, a wide receiver and kicker for the SK football team, will be heading to North Dakota to play for the Beavers of Minot State University, an NAIA school.

“Hard work really does pay off,” said Wolves assistant football coach Cory Vartanian, a former college kicker at North

high school, but could see her self continuing to specialize in distance running.

“I will put my expertise into the distance program,” she said.

“But it will be everybody helping everybody.”

Bellow is also excited to try coaching a boys team. As a female co-head coach, she said she will be a figurehead in the

Central’s junior guards Andre Thompson and Michael Thomas had a lot to do with that unraveling, combining for 38 points. The Cougars (8-3, 10-7) made eight 3-pointers in the game.

South hit just two shots from beyond the arc, but the one Kellen Traxel made with 29 seconds left in the third quarter stopped Central’s 10-2 run and tied the game at 45-all.

Throughout the fourth quarter, though, the Wolves labored to get good looks at the basket against the Cougars’ zone defense and couldn’t hit any perimeter shots.

girls’ lockerroom, But sharing the head coaching duties with Zimmer means she will get a chance to instruct the boys.

“There’s definitely a difference in coaching the different genders,” she said.

South Kitsap School District Athletic Director Ed Santos said Ballew’s time as fastpitch coach was instrumental to building the program.

“She’s done a great job (as coach),” he said. “She really started our program.”

Her time as assistant coach and as a track althlete in high school should serve her well, he said. He is sorry to see her leave the fastpitch program, but said she “got the bug” and wanted to get back into track.

Santos said he hoped to find a new fastpitch coach in the next few weeks.

Though Ballew has already been out on the track helping kids stay in shape during winter conditioning, she said it hasn’t totally sunk in that she won’t be headed back to the fastpitch diamond.

“It still hits me that, ‘boy, we’re not putting the cleats on this spring,’” she said. “I’ll be putting on a different pair of shoes.”

in,” Callaghan said. “When we needed a basket, we just couldn’t execute and get to the rack.”

Strong inside play from junior post James Hyson, who finished with 11 points, helped South take a 34-27 halftime lead.

“James played really well,” Callaghan said. “And Kellen Traxel played really well. That’s the best those two guys have played this year.”

Aaron LaDeaux also scored 11 points and Traxel had nine for South, which faces a key game tonight at Gig Harbor.

The Wolves won 71-55 at home in their first matchup, and the teams are tied for fourth place in league. Callaghan said whoever wins tonight will have a big edge toward claiming the league’s fourth postseason spot, with only two more regularseason games left.

“We’re going to have to play well,” Callaghan said.

police briefs Break-in at vacant house quickly draws crowd of police A couple who allegedly broke into a Port Orchard residence Sunday morning weren’t inside for long before police surrounded the house and waited for them to come out.

After a neighbor in the 2200 block of Flower Avenue called 9-1-1 around 6:45 a.m. to report a possible burglary in progress at the vacant house next door, the first officers to arrive found a step ladder that went up to a broken window at the rear of the house and could hear someone moving around inside.

According to charging documents filed in Kitsap County District Court, one of the officers reported that after a female looked out a window and saw him, he heard “someone running through the house and what sounded like running into furniture.”

Moments later, a male raised the blinds at another window and started to climb out, only to encounter two officers who ordered him at gunpoint to lie on the bed inside the room.

He was taken into custody, and the female suspect was detained when she ran out the front door.

According to the report, the 32-year old Port Orchard man who was arrested told officers he had lived in the house a long time ago, and that he and the 21-year-old Belfair woman with him had entered the house to get out of the rain and to “just be together.”

After the woman gave officers consent to search the car they had left parked a block from the vacant house, police found drug and paraphernalia under the front seat.

The two suspects were taken to the Kitsap County jail and booked for residential burglary, with bail set at $25,000 each.

Port Orchard man jailed after allegedly biting girlfriend’s hand

smokes

A 33-year-old Port Orchard man was jailed on assault charges after he allegedly bit his girlfriend’s hand when they were fighting early Sunday and then resisted arrest.

Kitsap County sheriff’s deputies responded shortly before 4 a.m. to an apartment on Cedar Crescent Drive SE and talked with the 36-year-old victim and her mother in the living room. The woman and her boyfriend had been arguing earlier, prompting a law enforcement response to the verbal dispute around 2 a.m.

During the second visit by deputies, both women said the male suspect had continued yelling at them after the first officers left, and that things eventually escalated into a physical fight between the boyfriend and girlfriend that included him biting her hand, according to charging documents filed in Kitsap County District Court.

The deputies reported seeing “several small puncture type marks” on the woman’s hand, and a long scratch on her arm.When they went out on the back porch to talk with the male suspect, they noticed an odor of intoxicants when they approached him.

He denied that there had been any physical altercation, but when asked about the bite marks on his girlfriend’s hand, he replied “that her hand was in his mouth,” according to the deputies’ report. When pressed to explain, the man said his girlfriend’s hand went in his mouth when she tried to choke him.

When a deputy tried to arrest and handcuff the suspect, who is described as 6-foot-2 and weighing over 200 pounds, the man pulled away and tried to walk back in the house, then spread his feet apart and bent over at the waist, bracing himself to prevent the officers from taking him to the ground. One deputy reported that they struggled with the susped and it took multiple “knee strikes to his stomach area” to get the man down, then more knee strikes to his ribs and back before the officers could pull his arms behind his back and handcuff him.

He did not offer further resistance, and was taken to the Kitsap County Jail.

He was booked for fourth-degree assault domestic violence and resisting arrest, with bail set at $20,000.

there are leather couches and a big-screen TV for customers while they wait. A small counter displays bins of hazelcolored tobacco and cartons of empty cigarette tubes.

To many, the shop would appear a typical convenience store, if not for a large brown box whirring with activity in the back of the shop.

The machine, a fast-action cigarette roller, is rented by customers who buy bulk tobacco and empty cigarette tubes to make their own smokes.

“It’s easy to do,” said DIY employee Jessica Rieber, 18, who works at the store in the afternoons. “I love teaching people how to use it.”

It’s easy and it’s cheap.

According to Kroesser, a carton of 200 cigarettes would cost $60-90 at a convenience store or gas station. But at her store, 200 rolled smokes cost about $32, a saving of around 50 percent or more. Savings, Kroesser said, that smokers are hungry for.

“When I buy $100 worth of tobacco, you have to pay $195 because of taxes,” she said.

“Over half of the cost is tax. It’s ridiculous. The cost of smoking is so high that some people

have resorted to growing their own tobacco.”

Kroesser realized about a year and a half ago that smokers were desperate for an inexpensive alternative to storebought cartons. She decided to open DIY Tobacco in December 2010. She has since opened stores in Silverdale and Bremerton, employing a total of 12 people. There are 65 such stores around the state.

Cheaper cigarettes, however, have raised eyebrows. At the beginning of the 2012 legislative session, house and senate bills were introduced that would have classified the rolling-machine operations like DIY Tobacco as manufacturers, increasing the amount the stores would have to pay in taxes.

Then last week, the language of the senate bill was changed to outright prohibit use of rolling machines in stores such as DIY. “I think they (DIY stores) will become very popular everywhere if we don’t stop them,” Keiser said. “It’s a way for people who are hooked to cigarettes to get them at a lower cost.”

Keiser, the chair of the Health and Long-Term Care Committee in the senate, said she would “make tobacco illegal if possible.” But in lieu of making cigarettes illegal, she will make them harder to find at low prices.

“I cannot abide that we allow proliferation and this opera-

tion,” she said.

Kroesser is outraged that the government would legislate her store out of business.

Her store, she said, offers a desirable product at a competitive price.

“This is less freedom and squashing more small businesses,” she said.

She speculated that the legislation has been lobbied for

by Big Tobacco firms such as Phillip Morris, which are afraid that cheaper tobacco undercuts their monopoly. Keiser said she didn’t doubt this was possible, but said it has no effect on her decision to sponsor the bill.

“I have no doubt that the tobacco world has strange bedfellows,” she said. “I take actions to support policies that improve public health.”

Roll-your-own cigarette machines do affect other stores in the area. The Korean Grocer’s Association filed a complaint two months ago with the Washington Liquor Control Board that tobacco shops with roll-your-own

machines had made their “sales drop dramatically,” and that a tax loophole that made cigarettes still cheaper to buy unpackaged was unfair to businesses who have to pay the cigarette tax, said T.K. Bentler, spokesman for the Washington Association of Neighborhood Stores.

The senate bill was referred to the Labor, Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee on Tuesday. A House bill that would change the classification of stores like DIY to be considered manufacturers of cigarettes, essentially putting them out of business because of the increase the stores would pay in taxes, passed out of the house committee on Business and Financial Services on Tuesday, and was referred to the the Ways and Means committee.

In the meantime Kroesser, who flew to a meeting of tobacco retailers in Las Vegas this week, waits on the fate of her business.

“You kind of expect if you do good business, your business will thrive,” she said. “You don’t expect the government to come in and shut you down.”

levy rate will adjust slightly and the total tax revenue going to SKFR would still be $12 million.

There are two separate levies that fund the district. The EMS levy that will be on the April ballot is capped at 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value.

The operations levy — for which voters approved a lid lift in 2006 — is $1.38 for this year.

(See Bob Meadows’ column on Page 6A)

Another 5 percent decline in the county’s total property value in 2013 would bump it up to $1.48, close to the maximum $1.50 allowed. But if the rate goes up slightly, it will be applied to the lower property values so taxpayers would still pay the same amount on average next year.

The extra revenue that has come in since 2006 from the lid lift for the operations levy has funded full-time staffing for fire stations on Bethel Road and in Manchester.

“Those two stations have made a big difference” in response times on calls, Senter said.

He said the SKFR citizens advisory board wanted to put the EMS levy on the April ballot, even though the election cost to the district will be higher, so that if the measure is not approved, the district could try again in August.

Girl heading for school bus runs into car on icy road A 14-year-old South Kitsap girl running to get on her school bus ran into a moving car on an icy morning and had to be taken to the hospital, the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office reported.

The girl, a resident of the 3900 block of Locker Road, was running towards her school bus when the incident occurred Jan. 24.

According to Kitsap County Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Wilson, the girl had stepped on her school bus around 7:20 a.m., but got off to go

find her sister who was late for the bus. The school bus driver pulled off to the side of the road and put his hazard lights on to allow cars traveling south on Locker Road to pass at a slow speed.

One of the cars driving by was a 2007 Acura driven by a 65-year-old woman. The woman had just passed the school bus when the girl, returning from her home, ran down the driveway and slammed into the passenger side door of the Acura, breaking the side mirror.

Washington State Patrol, South Kitsap Fire & Rescue and sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene.

ing many of the contents inside.

The fire on Skyhawk Lane in the Burley-Olalla area raged for about 30 minutes before South Kitsap Fire and Rescue firefighters could put out the blaze. Two-thirds of the garage and its contents were damaged, including a 1968 Jaguar and various family mementos.

David Lynam, a Kitsap County Fire Marshal, said Monday that the blaze was started by a leaky hose attached to a portable propane heater.

He said the garage is still standing in some places, but will need to be torn down soon.

‘NUNSENSE’ AT WWCA IN PORT ORCHARD PORT ORCHARD — “Nunsense,” the second-longestrunning off-Broadway show in history, is being staged through Feb. 26 at the Western Washington Center for the Arts in Port Orchard.

“Nunsense” is a musical comedy with a book, music, and lyrics by Dan Goggin. Originating as a line of greeting cards, Goggin expanded the concept into a cabaret that ran for 38 weeks and eventually into a full-length musical.

The original off-Broadway production opened Dec. 12, 1985, running for 3,672 performances. It won four Outer Critics Circle Awards, including Best Off-Broadway Musical. It was produced as a TV movie in 1993 starring Rue McClanahan.

“Nunsense” is about a fundraiser put on by the Little Sisters of Hoboken to raise money to bury sisters accidentally poisoned by the convent cook, Sister Julia.

The Western Washington Center for the Arts production is updated with new jokes, additional lyrics, two new arrangements and a new song.

The center is located at 521 Bay St., Port Orchard.

One person lost his paperwork. Another one needs to reschedule, as she will be out of town during her week of service. Yet an-

other needs to be excused because she is a full-time student and cannot miss class.

With each call, jury administrators Cathie

Blackstock and Julie Sleeth speak compassionately and with understanding.

“We tend to think of this as a kinder, gentler jury office than most places,”

Blackstock said.

If you remember the sheriff ’s office on “The Andy Griffith Show,” you may recall how Aunt Bee decorated the office to make it as comfortable as possible, including placing doilies in the jail cell.

Jury duty

Continued from page 1 feeling. Magazines, books and puzzles are neatly stacked for use. Coffee brews on the back counter.

A handwritten sign welcomes you to jury duty.

But before you confuse a visit to the juror’s office with a social call, Blackstock and Sleeth want to remind you that a summons is a legal document, not an invitation to a party. While they try to make the experience as pleasant as possible, intentionally neglecting your summons is against the law and is considered a misdemeanor.

For the system to work, it’s imperative for citizens to follow the printed instructions on their summons.

THE SUMMONS

Each week, the jury office sends out about 700 summonses to citizens. Of those 700, only about half of the recipients are able to serve on a jury. The other half will either have scheduling conflicts, childcare issues, an illness or other issues. They will need to either reschedule to a more convenient week or, if they qualify, may ask to be permanently excused.

“How was I selected?”

The pool of jurors is randomly selected from a database that is made up from voter registration and Department of Licensing information. It is possible to be summoned twice in one year if your name is different on your voter registration than on your state issued identification card or drivers license. For example, if on your voter registration you are listed as “Will Smith” but on your

driver’s license you are “William Smith,” the system will recognize you as two different people and could potentially send out two summonses.

“I received a summons.

Now what?”

Fill out the confidential juror profile and mail it back to the office, or fill out the profile online. This needs to be completed within five days of receiving the summons. The qualification questions determine your eligibility to serve on a jury. For instance, if you have been convicted of a felony and your civil rights haven't been restored, you are not qualified to serve on a jury. You are also ineligible if you cannot communicate in English, no longer reside in Kitsap, are younger than 18, or are not a U.S. citizen.

“What if I already served on a jury within the past year?”

If you have served on a state, federal or municipal jury, you may request to be excused. You will need to show evidence if you served outside of Kitsap County.

(If you served inside the county, the clerks will verify that you indeed did serve.)

Blackstock said oftentimes people’s recollections are off by a year or two. “They will tell me, ‘I know I served recently.’ And then I'll look it up and they served in 2008,” she said.

“What if I can't serve the week I am scheduled to appear?”

You can ask for a deferral and reschedule your service. You are allowed to request a deferral up to four times per year. After the fourth request, the system will not grant you a fifth deferral.

FEET FIRST

Erin Jennings / Kitsap Week

Note: Mailing summonses and reminder cards cost money. If something arises and you are no longer able to serve during your rescheduled week, call the jury office as soon as possible to rebook. Each mailed summons costs about $2.

While this is not a significant sum on an individual basis, it quickly adds up.

MYTHS AND MYSTERIES OF JURY DUTY

“If I say I’m available, I’ll have to report and sit there all week, even if I’m not needed.”

Beginning at 6 p.m. on the Friday prior to the week you are to report, you should call the jury hotline and see if you have been selected to appear on Monday. If you aren’t selected for Monday, call back again Monday evening. Again, if you aren’t selected, you call in on Tuesday evening, and so on for the week. Potentially, your group may never get called and your week of service is then complete.

If you call in and your group is scheduled to

report, you need to show up on time on your scheduled day. If you are not selected for the jury, you will have completed your service and no longer need to call in to report.

If you report for jury duty and are seated on a jury, you will serve until the trial is completed.

“I’m a senior citizen and am automatically exempt from serving as a juror.”

If you are over the age of 75, you can request to be excused or permanently disqualified. However, your age doesn’t preclude you from serving. In fact, Blackstock said some of the best jurors are those in their 70s, 80s and 90s.

“They have a sense of civic duty and patriotism and are very dependable,” she said. “We don’t discriminate on the basis of age.” (However, you must be 18 or older.)

“I can’t be away from my family overnight.”

A juror would only be required to stay away overnight if the jury was

Often affecting the toes, gout is caused by a build-up of uric acid, a by-product of urate, which is naturally produced by the body and certain high-protein foods.

Your podiatrist can prescribe medication that will help prevent gout, but there are steps you can take to make it less likely to occur. Keeping your weight down will lessen the amount of pressure on your joints. Limit the amount of protein you eat. Limit your alcohol intake, as alcohol inhibits the breakdown of uric acid.

sequestered. In the 22 years that Blackstock has worked for Kitsap County’s court system, she cannot recall a time that this happened.

“I can’t afford to miss a week of work.”

The jury administration office cannot excuse people for work or financial hardships. If your group is selected to report, you must show up. However, the judge will review work and financial hardships prior to jury selection and at that time you may discuss your issue.

“I’m a police officer. I won’t be selected to serve on a jury.”

Police officers, attorneys and even judges have served on Kitsap juries.

Uniformed personnel must report for jury duty in civilian clothing.

“I’m a teacher. I can’t miss a week from my students.”

Call the jury administration office. You can reschedule your week of service during a school

break.

“If I’m summoned in Kitsap County, I will have to report to the courthouse in Port Orchard.”

Kitsap County Jury Administration provides jurors five locations across the county. If your group is selected, you will be told where to report, which may or may not be Port Orchard.

“My boss won’t allow me time off for jury duty."

Employers must respect your summons to appear.

Washington state law says, “Any employer shall provide an employee with sufficient leave of absence from employment to serve as a juror when that employee is summoned. An employer shall not deprive an employee of employment or threaten, coerce, or harass an employee, or deny an employee promotional opportunities because the employee receives a summons, serves as a juror, or attends court for prospective jury service.” (See RCW 2.36.165.)

The jury administration office can provide you with proper documentation to prove you were on jury duty.

THE INS AND OUTS OF JURY DUTY

“Will I get paid to serve?”

If you report to jury duty, you will receive $10 per day, plus mileage. Right now the mileage rate is 51 cents per mile.

“If I’m selected to serve, do I continue to call the hotline to check my group number?”

Blackstock said. “The jury should be of one’s peers, which means a wide range of citizens in your community.”

Every trial is different and every judge orders jurors differently. Some judges are confident that they can seat a jury from a pool of 35-40 potential jurors. Others want more wiggle room and will call 65. Sometimes there are weeks when the court system depletes the pool of jurors, resulting in a delay of trial.

There is no doubt about it, jurors are an important part of our judicial system.

And for the courtroom drama lovers, it’s a great way to be exposed to the real deal.

Sure, you’ve heard the legal terms “objection” and “overruled” countless times on television and in movies, but witnessing an actual courtroom scene is memorable and educational.

And that’s the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

future of art in Bremerton, Kitsap and Olympic peninsulas as well as statewide.

“Recent disruptions in the economy have stymied the Bremerton Art Commission, and one of the shows sponsors, the Kitsap County Arts Board, is struggling to build its public art program,”

Boysen said. “However, artists make art regardless of the economy, so Collective Visions Gallery and its cooperative stable of artists provide the cultural foundation for the life of this city and far beyond.”

It’s a no-brainer: If you smell smoke, call 911

I

t was supposed to cause a laugh or two, not catch our kitchen on

fire.

For my son’s birthday, we thought we’d be clever and use trick candles. You know the ones — they relight after the birthday person blows them out, causing surprise and another round of wishing.

My daughter wanted to give one a trial run before pulling the prank on her brother.

And this is where I goofed.

I wasn’t in the kitchen with her when she lit the candle.

The candle didn’t relight after she blew it out and thinking it was faulty, she tossed it into the trash underneath the sink.

But apparently it did light— just not immediately.

I’d say 10 minutes passed before she yelled, “The trash is on fire.”

Sure enough, flames leapt from under the sink, and dark smoke began to fill the kitchen.

ASK ERIN

By ERIN JENNINGS My husband and I grabbed the nearby fire extinguisher, and with shaky hands and beating hearts, extinguished the fire.

The plastic trash can melted onto the cabinet floor, leaving globs of hardened plastic. The inside of the cabinet door is scorched. But other than that, the fire didn’t cause much damage.

But, oh, there could have been.

My mind can’t help but play “what if ” games.

What if my daughter left the kitchen and didn’t notice the fire? How long would it have taken for the

smoke alarms to sound?

What if we went out to dinner, like we originally planned?

Let’s revisit where I goofed.

Growing up, whenever I was asked to light the dining room candles, I used old-fashioned matches. I was taught that after blowing out the match, I needed to run it under water, listening for the telltale sound of the “Hsssss.”

My daughter, who has lit numerous candles, has always used a butane lighter.

With a click of a button, the flame appears and disappears. She didn’t know to place recently lit items under water.

I should have taught her that.

And I should have been in the same room with her as she handled an open flame.

All this got me thinking about fire safety so I contacted Assistant Chief Luke Carpenter, fire marshal for the Bainbridge Fire Department, for advice.

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

There are three categories of fire. Class A involves paper, wood and trash.

Class B involves flammable liquids and grease. Class C fires are electrical.

When purchasing fire extinguishers for the home, Carpenter recommends buying the all-purpose kind that can handle all classes of fire.

He also recommends having at least two allpurpose fire extinguishers.

He suggested keeping one in the kitchen and one in the garage.

Good to know: Residential extinguishers are for single use. Once you use the extinguisher, you need to purchase another one.

SMOKE DETECTORS

Carpenter called smoke detectors the “cheapest insurance you can buy” and said they should be installed inside and outside of every bedroom. Newly constructed homes have strict codes regarding sufficient detectors. Older homes may only have one and in extreme cases, Carpenter has seen homes with

none at all. And that is just not safe.

At around $12 each, smoke detectors can alert you to smoke and fire, giving you precious time to exit the house safely.

Good to know: Change batteries in smoke detectors at least once a year.

As an easy reminder, the Bainbridge Fire Department recommends “Change your clock, change your batteries” to coincide with daylight saving time. And by all means, if your detector begins to “chirp,” change the battery.

EXIT PLAN

Statistics show the visibility in a house can go from crystal clear to practically zero visibility in a matter of a couple of minutes. It’s important to practice an exit drill with your family. To simulate intense smoke, Carpenter recommends blindfolding family members and having them crawl out.

Good to know: Most homes have an abundance of plastic. Burning plastic gives off dark smoke, causing poor visibility and

toxic vapors. Carpenter said the increase of plastics in the home has caused more deaths due to smoke inhalation than from pervious generations. This makes practicing an exit drill even more important.

CALL 911

This is a no-brainer, but if your house is on fire, call 911.

Good to know: Carpenter said even though we extinguished the fire ourselves, we still should have called the fire department.

The reason? Sometimes fire can get into little areas not easily visible. The fire department knows what to look for and is specially equipped to make sure the fire is completely out.

When I said, “But I didn’t want to be a bother,” Carpenter replied, “Call us. We live to be bothered.”

Hamilton Cellars finds a delicious niche NW WINES

BY ANDY PERDUE AND ERIC DEGERMAN

Wine Press Northwest

A

fter a couple of false starts, Hamilton Cellars in Richland got rolling a year ago — and is already releasing startlingly superb wines.

Russ and Stacie Hamilton began thinking about opening their namesake winery a half-decade ago and worked on creating a wine village in the heart of Washington wine country.

They purchased land for their idea, and that’s where the problems began. The city of West Richland sold land to the Hamiltons, who began moving forward with their concept. Unfortunately, the city didn’t own the land — the Bureau of Land Management did, and BLM wasn’t selling.

The Hamiltons found land in nearby Kennewick, but the bank wouldn’t loan them money because of pending litigation over the first piece of land.

In the meantime, the city of Richland changed some zoning laws to allow tasting rooms inside city limits, so the Hamiltons used a building they already owned that wasn’t far from three other wineries. And in January 2011, Hamilton Cellars opened.

The Hamiltons are savvy business people, with Russ

“The first year has been a real learning experience. Until you’re actually in it, you can’t know.”

— Stacie Hamilton, co-owner, Hamilton Cellars

the chief technology officer for the world’s largest solar company in China and Stacie running a wealthmanagement firm. But it took them several months to get a handle on the wine industry.

“The first year has been a real learning experience,” Stacie said. “Until you’re actually in it, you can’t know.

It’s been a busy, interesting year.”

Hamilton started on the right foot by hiring Charlie Hoppes as its winemaker.

Hoppes was the red winemaker for Chateau Ste. Michelle before moving on to Three Rivers Winery in 1999 and later his own Fidelitas Wines on Red Mountain.

Because Fidelitas is focused heavily on Cabernet Sauvignon, the Hamiltons decided to look for a differ-

ent niche, and they chose wisely with Malbec, which has recently become one of the hottest “new” wine varieties in Washington.

“We loved Malbec from the first one we tried,” Stacie said.

Under the Hamilton label, Hoppes makes a straight Malbec, a rosé of Malbec and a Malbecbased blend. Additionally, he crafts Cab, Merlot and a Semillon-Viognier blend for the Hamiltons.

Hamilton Cellars has grown to about 2,000 cases already, and Stacie sees it topping out around 10,000 in the future — if and when Russ ever retires. He spends about six months of the year in China, which leaves Stacie in charge of the winery.

“It’s my baby,” she said.

“He was supposed to have retired by now, but we Skype and text every day to discuss major decisions about the winery.”

Such is life in this era of technology and global flattening.

Earlier this year, Hamilton began to distribute its wines in the Seattle area, so check with your favorite merchant or call the winery directly at (509) 628-8227.
