$1 million grant for Village Green

By KIPP ROBERTSON

STAFF WRITER

KINGSTON — The Kingston Village Green Foundation has received a huge boost in its efforts to build a multi-use center.

Clair Bishop, director of the C. Keith Birkenfeld Memorial Trust, confirmed the last week of June that a $1 million grant will be provided to the Village Green project.

A total of $5.1 million is needed for the project. The grant brings the committed funds to $3.6 million, which leaves $1.7 million to

be raised. “It’s huge, because it leaves the general public with much less to cough up,� said Nick Jewett, Village Green’s executive director.

With less than $2 million left to raise, and with public support, Jewett said construction of the multi-use center could begin in 2013. In July, construction of a pavilion and the P-patch will begin at the park.

Bishop said the grant is the largest ever given by the trust.

Garden organizers want to Canoe Journey: What it takes make sure students are fed

By KIPP ROBERTSON

STAFF WRITER

LITTLE BOSTON — When the pullers participating in the journey to Squaxin Island are on the water, they will rely on one another. They will be pullers. More so, they will be sxwq’u’7kwt (sue kwoakthl) — canoe partners.

Each person in the canoe will rely on the others, not only to pull great distances at a time,

but also to know their own abilities, to know their strengths.

Understanding what it takes to be a puller in the annual Canoe Journey begins with practice. For the S’Klallam Canoe Family, it’s an understanding that begins on the beach of Point Julia.

As a skipper, Laura Price watches to see how individuals pull together. She sees who has the same reach and pace.

KINGSTON — In a move that would be good for the local economy, as well as bellies, the Kingston Farm and Garden Co-op is making moves to expand its garden.

Last year, the co-op’s Giving Garden produced nearly 700 pounds of organically grown vegetables. The co-op’s volunteer

KINGSTON — Now that the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe has

purchased the world-renowned Heronswood Gardens estate, gardens and brand, some tough yet fun work lies ahead: Figuring out the best uses for the site.

The Tribe doesn’t have any “grandiose plans� to change the gardens, but plans to increase

its public access, said Noel Higa, Port Gamble S’Klallam economic development director.

Higa said the Tribe would like to establish a cultural presence at Heronswood — install some artwork, and perhaps start a native medicinal plant enterprise. It

Garden Continued from page 1 members want the expanded harvest to be in the local schools’ cafeterias. “We’ve got to find a way for our kids to benefit from local produce [and] local farms,� said Aline Bradley, a co-op volunteer who has taken on the Farm-toSchool project.

The state Department of Agriculture had a Farmto-School Program until 2011 when funding was cut. This does not mean schools cannot implement the program, said Tricia Sexton Kovacs, the program’s former director.

Following National School Lunch Program guidelines, school nutritional directors are responsible for sourcing products served at schools.

Bradley said the North Kitsap School Board liked the idea of a program.

However, certification is still needed by the nutritional director. The garden must obtain insurance and comply with certain food safety practices, such as Good Agricultural Practices certification.

Besides these, organizers plan on the garden becoming USDA-certified organic — no chemical pesticides or herbicides are used, just fresh compost, Bradley said.

Kingston High School is already involved. Bradley, who recently received her bachelor’s degree in education, began volunteering with the garden last year and wanted to find a way to interact with students.

Her daughter, LaJoie, was a Kingston Honor Society member and began working in the garden with her mother. Knowing Honor Society members and other clubs require community service hours, they pitched the Giving Garden to a student adviser.

Putting in hours on Saturday mornings to tedious weeding and sometimes back-breaking harvest work can be difficult, but for LaJoie, it is worth it. “It opens your eyes to the community,� she said. “At first I didn’t realize there were people in Kingston who couldn’t go to the store and buy vegetables.�

Bradley said organizers want to break some ground for North Kitsap so more farms can get involved in the future. “It’s an incredible effort and we’re so grateful to all the workers there,�

Kingston Community News Page 3

said Mark Ince, executive director of ShareNet. “It’s an incredible benefit to the food bank to get that farmfresh produce.�

Sexton Kovacs said 49 of 295 Washington school districts serve Washingtongrown foods in school meals. Thirty-five of those purchase directly from a farm. The Bainbridge Island School District began a Farm-to-School initiative a few years ago, using student gardens and local farms.

Kinley Deller, president of the co-op and one of the founders, said the co-op had the Farm-to-School idea before Kingston had a co-op. The co-op was founded to save the Sacks Feed building, known as the “Ag hub of the North

Garden volunteers Nara Deller, 9, and Aline Bradley work in the Giving Garden, which donates produce to ShareNet Food Bank. Aline hopes local schools will soon be able to enjoy locally grown produce.

Kitsap area,� he said. But the co-op did not collect enough funding to buy the building (someone else bought the building and it is now being restored).

The co-op buys farming and gardening supplies,

such as hay, tools and irrigation equipment, at wholesale price and sells to its members at cost plus shipping, Deller said.

All of the work that goes into the Giving Garden, and now the Farm-to-School

garden, runs on volunteer power.

Cathy Curry, owner of Farrago Farms and Vineyard in Kingston, donated a plot of her land for the garden, which tripled in size this year — the

garden is now 200 feet by 40 feet, with an additional 100 feet of pole beans for Farm-to-School. Several other farmers donated seedlings, compost materials and advice.

With the land expansion, Bradley said the co-op may be able to harvest more than 1,000 pounds of vegetables. Volunteers are always needed.

Ince said he wants the food bank to run on local produce, and to educate patrons of the food bank on nutritional habits and healthier food choices. “Kingston Farm and Co-op garden plays a part in that making that more real for people,� he said.

Keep kids fed through summer

O

f all community issues, few are as alarming as the fact that local children go hungry.

Former North Kitsap School District superintendent Gene Medina remembers seeing children on Monday morning enjoying their first real meal since lunch at school on Friday. That begged the question, “How do children who depend on free and reduced lunches during the school year get the food they need during the summer?�

A program known now as Food for Kids is raising money to help pay for summer school lunches at Wolfle Elementary School and provide food packets for students when summer school ends — a sevenweek period between the end of summer school and the beginning of the school year.

Some 60 percent of students at Wolfle now qualify for free or reduced-price lunches, according to Medina.

That’s up from 53.4 percent in May 2011, according to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction report card. During the 2005-06 school year, 48.2 percent qualified for free or reduced-price meals, according to the report card.

Districtwide, 33.5 percent of students, or 2,237, in the qualified for free or reduced-price meals in 2011. “We’re raising $5,950 that will basically help us deliver two packets a week for seven weeks, and cover the gap in funding for summer school lunches,� he said. Medina said 110 children are expected for summer school.

Last year, Food for Kids provided food packets for seven weeks for 50-60 children. “This year, we’re projecting 75,� Medina said.

There are a lot of partners in summer school and Food for Kids: Port Gamble S’Klallam’s Early Childhood Education Department, Kingston Food Bank, Kingston Rescue Mission. And, of course, donors in the community.

No child in our community should go hungry.

The Kingston Port District is hoping some new initiatives will help turn the financial tide for the SoundRunner passenger ferry. One resident says his marketing firm studied SoundRunner and determined that it’s doomed. A Community News reporter, who also lives in Kingston, says the service is a good deal for consumers. Here are their views.

WSF has the competitive edge

By ED WATERMAN Guest columnist

T

ime for the truth about the Kingston SoundRunner ferry to be disclosed to the residents of Kingston.

When we heard SoundRunner was going to hand out a $70,000 marketing contract, my marketing firm expressed interest. We do market research and help businesses craft and implement successful business and marketing plans against strong, well-funded competitors.

It took us less than three hours of due diligence to determine SoundRunner was fatally flawed from startup as a high overhead service launched in the Great Recession against formidable, entrenched competitors. We

concluded SoundRunner didn’t have just a 100 percent chance of failure, we quickly determined SoundRunner would incur the catastrophic financial losses we are seeing.

Why you ask? SoundRunner has no fewer than eight major strategic and competitive flaws. Saying WSF vs.

SoundRunner is apples and oranges is a myth. SoundRunner is simply a crossSound transportation option and competes directly against the Kingston/ Edmonds WSF, Bainbridge/Seattle WSF, Tacoma Narrows Bridge and shuttle services to SeaTac Airport.

Those four had decades of market dominance and held 100 percent market share — a market share that SoundRunner had to take in a direct competition by doing it cheaper and

requiring a marketing budget that exceeded that of its entrenched competitors.

After interviewing Kingston residents as we would a focus group, the demographics claimed as “potential� by SoundRunner were shocking.

Most people we talked to told us the same thing — why do we want to go to Seattle? Residents of Kingston live here, and many moved here from Seattle because they consider Seattle a big city with high crime and horrendous traffic. It is a place they avoid.

Many said the SoundRunner boat is nauseating, too small of a boat compared to the stable car ferries of WSF. The vast majority that travel to Seattle need a car. For $10 more than parking See WATERMAN, Page 5

SoundRunner has its advantages

By KIPP ROBERTSON krobertson@northkitsapherald.com

T

he Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show has become an (almost) annual tradition for me. Unless I’m working, I enjoy spending a few (or 10) hours over at the Seattle convention center to play some coin-operated games, most circa before I was born.

There's never a problem getting over there, but it's always an expensive trip. Or, should I say, it was an expensive trip. But not this year, with the SoundRunner ferry service.

Now, before continuing, I will note I live about one mile from the Kingston port. A quick walk. A relatively small number of people have

that option.

I took my first ride on the Spirit of Kingston, one of two ferries under the service, June 9. This was not long after the ferry began doing Saturday runs for $5 each way.

Walking down the dock, the ferry was clearly rocking in its moored state. How rough was this ride going to be, I thought. Will I have to eat another breakfast once I arrive in Seattle, after losing my first at sea?

Fortunately, the answer was no.

The ride was smooth. It was also a very calm day on the Puget Sound.

So I cannot speak for the service when the sea is angry.

It was quick, too. We departed at 10 a.m. and arrived before 11 a.m.

The crew was friendly. Never have

I been on a ferry and had a crew member ask if I wanted a refill on my coffee. The coffee and tea is free, by the way.

The scenery, like everywhere else on a water-vessel in Washington, was beautiful.

Arriving at Pier 50, just south of the Washington State Ferry terminal, I had already saved $11.50. And from there I set off, on foot, to Seattle Center.

The arcade show was a blast, but it's not relevant.

I left the show just after 5 p.m. to make it to the dock about 15 minutes before the ferry departed.

The ferry pulled up, unloaded, See ROBERTSON, Page 5

Waterman Continued from page 4 and SoundRunner, they have a car on WSF to reach their destination.

SoundRunner doesn’t go where many Kingston commuters go — to the hubs of Naval Base Everett, Boeing, the Eastside, the industrial sectors and the UW. Connections to transportation are a grueling 10-block walk uphill to the bus tunnel.

Casual visitors are headed to sporting events and SeaTac Airport.

SoundRunner doesn’t run

Robertson Continued from page 4 and we were headed back to Kingston.

Though the beer selection is not expansive, it’s better quality than I expected — Deschutes Brewery's Pale Ale, thank you.

I was lucky enough to spend a portion of the ride on the stern of the boat when the sun came out.

Two sea lions had a similar idea and decided to sunbathe on a buoy.

The ride back was just as quick. The crew, the same as my trip to Seattle, just as friendly.

Kingston Community News Page 5

when the sporting events happen and they definitely do not sail to SeaTac. The two WSF runs offer more than 40 daily Eastbound sailings, FREE for walk-on passengers. You can’t beat free with $7 a trip and just four sailings.

The reality is Port of Kingston SoundRunner has zero chance of success (measured by ridership and revenue) and WILL incur millions of dollars in financial losses. The average SoundRunner Eastbound sailing has fewer than 10 riders paying $14 round trip, while Kingston taxpayers pay $100 — for every

rider, every run, day after day. The only certainty is whether $1 million in losses is where it stops or if it will lose millions more.

Kingston taxpayers, you have been hoodwinked in epic proportions. I have commuted from Kingston to Seattle for 22 years. There is no positioning or amount spent on SoundRunner marketing that can overcome the eight fatal competitive advantages held by the state Department of Transportation. — Ed Waterman is a Kingston resident.

As the ferry docked, it was impressive to see just how agile the ferry was, turning 180 degrees to reverse to the dock.

The riders all expressed their gratitude as they left; not a frown among the easily more than one dozen riders.

If there was any complaint I had after using the SoundRunner service, it is this: the service hours are not flexible enough on Saturday runs. The ferry leaves Kingston and 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. and Seattle at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.

A 6 p.m. return is much too early for a final run.

There is no chance to enjoy Seattle nightlife, or

catch dinner or a movie.

Basically, so much of what makes Seattle appealing — I'm speaking from a 26-year-old’s point-of-view — is eliminated.

In order to see a later run from Seattle, either a new schedule or more ridership will be needed.

More ridership ‌ haven't heard that before.

But it's difficult to be disappointed, because I saved more than $30 by not having to pay for a vehicle and driver to and from Kingston, parking or gas.

Cha-ching. — Kipp Robertson is a reporter and copy editor for the Kingston Community News.

However, the Village Green project has characteristics that enticed the trust to donate: it’s strongly supported by the community with money and time. Bishop said it’s those characteristics that are the backbone in all the grants the trust writes. “We thought it was just a terrific project and filled a number of needs the community asked for,� Bishop said.

The new multi-use center would replace the existing dilapidated 75-yearold, 7,900 square-foot community center and 1,300-square-foot library, with a 23,000 square-foot center and 8,000 squarefoot library. The new facility is expected to serve 15,000 individuals, and 40 low-income senior housing units are slated to be built adjacent to the community center.

The planned construction will provide space for youth activities, beforeand after-school programs, a commercial kitchen, a senior center and areas for public meetings and events.

Bishop said housing for elderly people is “simply not available in Kingston.�

The youth activities, such as the Boys and Girls Club, will provide year-round opportunities for children. “It’s just a good familyoriented project,� Bishop said.

The $1 million grant is the largest given by the Birkenfeld Memorial Trust, Bishop said.

The trust was set up following the death of its namesake in 2005. The trust began with between $13 million and $14 million, Bishop said.

In addition to the Village Green grant, the trust will provide a restoration grant to the Point No Point Lighthouse to help finish work that was done earlier

The Village Green Foundation has previously received more than $2 million in state money and other grants and private donations.

Though the Village Green Foundation still has a “high hill to climb,�

Bishop said the success it’s had so far makes her confident in the project.

Jewett has worked on multiple school district bonds and levies, which he describes as agonizing. He said the foundation’s efforts have “gone smoothly.� “We were jubilant,�

Jewett said of the grant. “We’ve had such good luck, such good response.�

For the Record â– The Kingston Chamber of Commerce has an agreement with Kitsap County to empty the so-called Big Belly trash compactors in downtown Kingston.

The chamber’s new leadership was not familiar with the agreement when they called on the county to help empty the compactors.

That call led to an editorial in the June Kingston Community News.

The chamber is now recruiting volunteers to assist with the Big Bellies. â– The following businesses are major sponsors of the Kingston Fourth of July celebration: Main Street Ale House, Kitsap Bank, Windermere Real Estate West Sound, Kitsap Credit Union, Columbia Bank, Cup and Muffin.

AS IT TURNS OUT

By MARYLIN OLDS plified version, generally referred to as “The Parable of the American Tourist and the Mexican Fisherman.�

A tourist in a small coast-

al village noticed a fisherman docked and his boat filled with several fine fish.

The tourist asked how long it took to catch the fish, to which the fisherman replied; “Only a little while.�

The tourist asked why he didn’t stay out longer in order to catch more fish.

The fisherman assured him this was just the amount he needed to support his family’s needs.

The tourist asked what he did with the rest of his time. The fisherman said, “I fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, stroll into the vil-

lage each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my friends. I have a full and busy life.�

The tourist immediately saw how he could help the fisherman. “You could spend more time fishing, sell the fish, and buy several bigger boats with your proceeds. Then you could sell to the processor, open your own cannery, and control the product, processing and distribution.�

The fisherman asked how long all this would take to do. The tourist thought it over, and said it would probably take about 20 years to accomplish.

“What then?� asked the fisherman.

The tourist laughed, “When the time is right you would sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions.�

The fisherman asked, “Then what?�

The tourist said, “Then you would retire, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your friends.�

Parables, of course, are designed not to be taken literally, but to deliver some

Unseen plastics could be harmful S

o we are all good about recycling every plastic container we possibly can, right? And we pick up plastic bags from the roadways and beaches and get those to the plastic bag recycling, right? And those nasty plastic rings around six-packs of beverages get carefully cut up and put safely in the garbage, along with plastic bottle caps, right? Great!

Here are some more nasty plastics we can watch

out for: Microplastics. Like the name implies, they are very small, little particles of plastic that are used in many cosmetic products, especially things like facial scrubs or anything that exfoliates your skin, and even some toothpaste.

The companies that use them say it hasn’t been proved microplastics to be harmful to wildlife. But they are of concern. Because they are so small, they will pass through filters in

wastewater systems and out to the Puget Sound.

It’s true that no major problems have been reported that can be directly attributed to microplastics.

However, it doesn’t seem like a good thing for fish and other creatures to be eating plastic. Mussels can ingest them and the plastic can be incorporated into their tissue. The problem is being studied by Joel Baker, chairman of environmental science at the UW

in Tacoma.

The sad thing is that microplastics are not needed at all; many body products contain natural scrubbing materials, such as walnut shells or seeds.

Of course, you have to read the label.

If your product contains “Polyethylene,� you likely have microplastics. Many well-known name brands do have them.

Some microplastics end up in Puget Sound from the

breakdown of larger plastic items too. Sadly, they are like sponges that soak up the toxins in the water, and they never totally degrade in the ocean.

The best way to get rid of plastics all together, and keep our Sound natural and plastic-free, is to eliminate as much plastic in our lives as possible. And where we can’t eliminate it, to carefully dispose of every piece of plastic we come across — either recycling it or put-

Work Toward Your Own

Financial Independence Day Once again, Independence Day is here, bringing fireworks and barbeques. Of course, the 4th of July is more than hoopla — it’s a time to reflect on the many freedoms we enjoy in this country. Yet, for many people, one important type of freedom — financial freedom — is still elusive. So you may want to use this holiday as an occasion to think of those steps you can take to eventually declare your own Financial Independence Day.

Here are some moves that can help: r $SFBUF B TUSBUFHZ 'JOBODJBM GSFFEPN EPFTO U just happen — it takes planning, patience and perseverance. To work toward your financial independence, you’ll need to create a financial strategy, in conjunction with your financial advisor, and stick to that strategy. Over time, you’ll need to make adjustments, but if your overall strategy is appropriate for your goals, time horizon and risk tolerance, it should help you get you to where you want to go. r $POUSJCVUF BT NVDI BT QPTTJCMF UP ZPVS SFUJSFNFOU plans. Each year, put in as much as you can afford to your 401(k) or similar employersponsored retirement plan, such as a 457(b) if you work for a state or local government or a 403(b) if you work for a school or other UBY FYFNQU PSHBOJ[BUJPO r 5IFTF QMBOT PGGFS the potential for tax-deferred earnings, so your retirement funds can grow faster than if they were placed in an investment on which you paid taxes every year. Also, if you’re eligible, try to “max out� on your IRA every year. r .BJOUBJO BEFRVBUF MJGF JOTVSBODF *G ZPV IBWF a family, you aren’t just thinking of your own financial independence — you have to think of theirs, too. And that’s why you need to maintain adequate life insurance, particularly during the years when your children are growing

up. But even after they’ve left the home, you may find that life insurance can be valuable in providing retirement funds for your spouse, should anything happen to you. And if you have permanent life insurance, which contains an investment component, you can generally access the cash value, through policy loans or withdrawals, to help pay for your own retirement. r 1SPUFDU ZPVSTFMG GSPN MPOH UFSN DBSF DPTUT :PV may never need any type of long-term care, such as a stay in a nursing home or assistance from a home health aide, but if you do, the enormous costs can threaten your financial independence — and possibly even put an economic strain on your spouse or grown children.

A national holiday won’t be declared when you achieve your financial independence — but, for you, it will be a time well worth celebrating. So do what it takes to work toward the arrival of that happy day.

Watch for events, low tide at the port W

e have experienced the last week of spring and have yet to string three or four really nice days together. I hope that by the time you are enjoying your July edition of the Kingston Community News that we will be feeling the warmth of some good, early summer weather.

Down at the port, the crew is working on getting the park ready for all the events of the Fourth of July. Did you know that the SoundRunner ferry will once again take people over to Liberty Bay to enjoy Poulsbo’s 3rd of July Fireworks display? There is also an opportunity to go out on the boat on the evening of the 4th to watch the display from out on the water. Visit www.soundrunnerferry.com for details.

The new South Kingston Road Bridge over the Carpenter Creek slough is truly a long sought-after improvement to the estuary. You can walk under the roadway quite easily and watch sea life use the newly widened marine boulevard.

The ebbing of the backwaters also changed course dynamically and where there used to be a little river taking the tidewaters out to the sound, now they are flowing differently and more to the north, making some of the built-up silt in the inner bay sluff off.

This is filling in some of our waterways in the marina and the launch ramps.

Tickets: $25 each, $40 couple or parent and child. Preregister: (360) 297-1226. Space is limited.

DOWN AT THE PORT

By PETE DEBOER If you are using the boat launch ramp or A, B or C docks, be cautious during low tides and pay attention to the red and green buoys we have placed there. Observe the “Red Right Returning� practice and you should be OK. We are having a hydrology study done and are getting together with the Army Corps of Engineers, Fisheries and other organizations to explore what we can do about this problem.

It’s great to see all the plants in bloom and the trees with leaves back on them. Ray has been staging some of the blooming a little creatively and hopefully around the Fourth of July, you will see more red, white and blue. The staff works very hard to keep the parks beautiful and fun.

Please come on down and enjoy your port and the parks.

Its time to dance.

Nautical term Speaking of dancing, how long has it been since you thought about “The Sailor’s Hornpipe?�

I whistle the tune now and then and once played it on an accordion in a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, but here is the story: The usual tune for this dance was first printed as the “College Hornpipe� in 1797 or 1798 by J. Dale of London. It is likely that the Sailor’s Hornpipe was originally performed on the wet deck of a ship, in bare feet.

Accompaniment may have been the music of a tin whistle, a six-holed woodwind or, from the 19th century, a squeezebox, such as an accordion.

Samuel Pepys, an English naval administrator and member of Parliament, referred to “The Sailor’s Hornpipe� in his diary as “The Jig of the Ship.� And Captain Cook, who took a piper on many voyages, is noted to have ordered his men to dance the hornpipe in order to keep them in good health.

Thanks for taking a few minutes to read this stuff. I hope you found something interesting. I enjoy doing it for you. See you down at the port. —Pete Deboer is one of three Port of Kingston commissioners. Contact him at pete@petedeboer.com.

Advice for graduates from Chairman Sullivan A

s I write this, young adults from across Kitsap County are celebrating their graduations. Whether from high school or college, graduation is a time to reflect on accomplishments and prepare for the road ahead.

While my own kids are a few years away from donning a cap and gown, as chairman of the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe I’ve been attending a number of commencements and parties celebrating these bright, enthusiastic young adults and their achievements.

Education is important to the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe. We want to make sure young people are afforded the best possible opportunities and we work

to support educational programs all across the County. For example, The Point Casino, which just celebrated the opening of its expansion, gives heavily to after-school programs so every student — Tribal and non-Tribal alike — can enrich their educational experiences through extracurricular activities.

For several years, we’ve actively worked with Northwest Indian College, based on the Lummi Nation reservation near Bellingham. That partnership resulted in the establishment of a satellite campus on our reservation. We also have programs in place to help our Tribal youth with college scholarships.

Within our Tribal government and its related depart-

OUR VILLAGE

By JEROMY SULLIVAN ments, we offer a mentoring program that can set participants on a path to management or director positions.

As someone who ascended to a leadership position, I’m still getting used to young people coming to

me for advice. I find myself going back to the ideals that I’ve used to drive my career and achieve my goals: ■Don’t underestimate yourself. It’s easy to do and so difficult to overcome. A lot of people in your life will believe in you, encourage you, but you’re the only person with the capacity to realize your dreams. ■Stand up for what you believe in. It’s not always easy; in fact, it will likely be the most difficult thing you’ll ever do. The fight though is always better than the alternative: a lifetime of “what if?� ■Stay informed. As you get older, inevitably, your responsibilities will grow.

Work, family, children all demand care and nurturing, but you should always do

your best to stay informed about what’s going on in the community and the world around you. This will not only keep you connected, but will also help you make better decisions. ■It’s true — trying and failing is better than never having tried at all. ■Find the happiness around you. It’s easy to take things for granted and think the next “something different� will finally bring happiness. The bigger, but more rewarding challenge is to be ambitious enough to always want to try and improve yourself while appreciating the life you have already built and the people who occupy it. ■Remember The Golden Rule? We all learned it early on. Treat others as you

Lead the parade; play it safe in July festivities mets, themed decorations, refreshments, firefighter games and a ride in the engine.

The other prize is a deluxe Kingston 4th of July parade package. One lucky family will get reserved parking for one car at Cup and Muffin and two seats aboard NKF&R’s flagship engine as it leads the parade. The two from the engine will be brought back to Cup and Muffin to join the rest of the family in prime seating to watch the rest of the parade. Cup and Muffin will also serve the group a picnic lunch and/ or the beverages of their choice.

NORTH KITSAP FIRE & RESCUE

By MICHĂˆLE LABODA that’s more convenient for you. â– Outdoor burning: Although Washington state has announced that all outdoor fires — except “recreationalâ€? fires in a designated fire pit, comprised of dry seasoned wood or charcoal and less than 3

feet in diameter — will be banned on their lands from July 1 through Sept. 30, the Kitsap County fire marshal announced there will be no local outdoor burning ban until fire danger warrants it. In the meantime, please remember that all of the regular rules apply. Permits are required for all fires, except those defined as “recreational� and described above. If we ever get summer weather, you can watch our Facebook page (www. facebook/nkfire.htm) and

visit our website for burn ban announcements. You can also call our automated burn ban information line at 297-4888. ■Leave fireworks to the professionals: We’d prefer everyone forego private fireworks displays in favor of watching the public displays in Poulsbo and Kingston. Most of the fire-

works sold at local Tribal fireworks stands are not legal for discharge off of reservation land. Keep in mind that it’s only legal to discharge any fireworks between the hours of 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. on July 4.

Above all, we urge you to celebrate our nation’s birthday safely and with consideration for your neighbors and their pets. — Michèle Laboda is prevention and community services specialist for North Kitsap Fire & Rescue.

Bill passed away June 6. Although we continue to grieve his loss, we are very comforted by your condolences and sympathy. ■Lead the parade: It’s not too late to get your raffle tickets.

One prize will be one of our famous fire station birthday parties. These coveted events include everything to make a memorable celebration — invitations, party favors, party hel-

want to be treated. It might be easier to treat people poorly to get what you want more easily, but resist that temptation. People remember and, at the end of the day, who doesn’t want to be thought of with kindness and a generous spirit?

I would like to congratulate all of this year’s graduates. Graduation is one of life’s most exciting moments. It’s the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Hold your head high and be proud of that hard work that has brought you this far. The rest of your life begins now.

Good luck! — Jeromy Sullivan is chairman of the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe.

his month’s column is all about us!

For Kingston High School’s Fine Arts Boosters column, June is all about nostalgia, because we run on the school year. Looking back on 2011-12 (it’s a wrap!) there are amazing details we need to share with you, our loyal readers.

Word on the street is that you really get into knowing the incredible spotlighted arts students via this column. Now, know more about us.

Under the leadership of Mary and Tom Montgomery and volunteer sons Jeremy and Dylan, FABulous FAB did the following this school year: â– Contributed toward 20 AP fees in visual arts. â– Supported debate team and band transportation to tournaments and competitions (see the photo of the

Honshke, painter; Nick Stevens, potter; and Dylan Taylor, photographer at the Shakespeare Festival and Senior Showcase. ■Provided concessions at arts and sports events. ■Featured eight FAB artists of the month here in this column, in the Buccaneer Broadcast (online) and at Kingston Rotary meetings. ■Supported the arts teacher’s professional development and student clinics and workshops.

■Advocated for the arts with NKSD and allied with students when asked. ■Promoted arts events to the community — plays, concerts, debates, festivals. ■Connected community artists with KHS art programs.

We do this by raising funds (our disbursements were $3,550) and also by being there as debate judges, letter writers, ticket promoters, connections to the Kingston community

including art supply donors, and by being allies with arts students and teachers.

For all of the above FAB was presented an award “In appreciation of FAB’s Dedication to the Advancement of Arts Education.� We were chosen by the students and staff of NKSD and we received this at the district wide Festival of the Arts in May. How cool is this? The representative from the state Department of Public Instruction said she thinks FAB is unique in our state.

Our generous 10 corporate sponsors joined with our members to do all this: Artists’ Edge, attorneys Beebe, Roberts and Bryan, Borrowed Kitchen Bakery, Crab Creek Review, Eagle Harbor Books, Front Street Gallery, Hill Family Fireworks, Mirracole Morsels Bakery, Pacific Eyecare and Optical, and Snippers Barber Shop.

Lasting memories for most, sleep for some I

’ll never forget my first interview, but my son will never remember it.

Logan, my 10-year-old audio engineer son, and I were eight months into producing our Internet radio program about “allthings-chiropractic,� and we were attracting a growing audience from all over the world.

Before I knew it, I was on the phone with Dr. James Dubel, the founder of one of the largest chiropractic gatherings that attracts a multitude of chiropractors every year to learn from the biggest names in the profession. He had tuned into our show, liked it, and was inviting us out to his event to set up an “on-location studio� to interview his chiropractic superstar lineup.

Logan and I soon found ourselves on a jet plane

SPINAL COLUMN

By THOMAS LAMAR, D.C. heading to our nation’s Garden State with podcast studio in tow. Because this was Logan’s first time to the East Coast, I arranged our schedule so we could make a brief stop in New York City. Despite running low on sleep, we had an incredible time together, taking in the sights and forging

some lifetime memories.

After our whirlwind tour, we found ourselves at New Beginnings Chiropractic Weekends on the Jersey Shore, receiving a warm greeting from our host, Dr. Dubel. Soon, Logan and I were methodically setting up our studio with all of its wires and connections to ready for our first interview.

As our setup began to take shape, I could sense that Logan was losing steam.

He began to move in slow motion, and his eyelids looked heavy. I quickly jostled him back to life and reminded him that it was “game time� — this was why we were here!

Not too long after that, Dr. Dubel came in to announce that he was going to be our first interview, saying that it would give us a chance to “practice� and fine tune our equipment. In hindsight, I

think he just wanted to see if he had made the right decision before funneling his chiropractic luminaries our way.

With a thumbs up from Logan, we were soon “On the Air!� Everything was going great and I was having the time of my life! Our conversation flowed effortlessly, and Dr. Dubel’s message was full of emotion, passion and conviction. In fact, I was so enveloped in the whole process that I was stunned at how quickly 30 minutes flew by.

As I began to wrap up our interview, I glanced over at Logan, only to see my trusty audio engineer perfectly positioned behind the mixer with headphones on, mouth agape, and in a dead sleep — and not a word recorded. — Dr. Thomas R. Lamar is a chiropractor

THIS ‘N’ THAT

By JACQUE THORNTON every year and will be in the middle of it as usual. It is wonderful to see all the great items that are donated. Anything that is left over after a sale is donated to the Women’s Abuse Center, the men’s center and other charity rummage sales. The funds raised go for community needs such as the food banks. The sale is held yearly at Redeemer United Methodist Church, 9900 Shorty Campbell Road, Kingston. Watch for the signs.

Speaking of community needs, the Kingston Food Bank in the VFW Hall on First Street really needs help in finding a new place to move to before March 2013.

There must be some way to help Barb Fulton, the

director, find another spot.

One thing I do know is this community cares about people, although I did hear through the grapevine one of our well-known business owners stated he doesn’t help charities. Hmm! So, in the months ahead if anyone comes up with a solution it will be more than appreciated by not only Barb, but also the needy families it helps.

I asked Barb’s mother, Vi Weaver, now passed on, why she kept the little food bank going when there was another large one that received all kinds of donation help. If you knew Vi, then you can imagine her looking up at you straight in the eye, saying “Pride.�

Sometimes, all one has left is pride so they go quietly out of their known area, not wanting others to know how badly off they may be.

That I do understand in remembering my stubborn Scots mother and her fierce pride. “We will make do and thank God for it.� This she often said — and so we did. — Jacque Thornton is a long-time columnist for the Kingston Community News.

t tickled me to read a letter in the June Kingston Community News, on the Opinion page. It was titled, “Yes, Jacque, and capitalism does work well.�

David Brown of Hansville was remarking on my column, “Who is looking out for the little guy anyway?�

I do appreciate other opinions and it’s always rewarding to hear from a reader.

I still find it hard to accept all the cream floating to the top and the 40 percent of middle income evaporating. Just check out how much the conglomerates are pulling in today. The stock market knocked the middle income down, then the conglomerates turned around and blamed them for their errors.

I don’t know which generation David is from, but my family came through the Depression Era. I was a child then. After WWII, my generation fought to get a piece of the pie. Unions came about

because of the little guy fighting the bureaucracy to have decent wages and living conditions. We came out of the war and became the middle class.

It’s a terrible thing to have to admit that war makes jobs. For the first time, the ordinary folk had work in factories, munitions, building military planes like Boeing where my mother worked on the first B-29 wings. The companies had huge contracts and money flowed in. The guy and the gal in the street who weren’t in the service found out what it was to have a dollar left over in their pockets after payday.

It took a while but things did pick up for wages and benefits to come along.

The little guy was no longer going to bow to the wealthy company owners for crumbs. Now, they are fighting once again to keep what they have gained.

More power to those people I say.

I guess I’ll put my political outlook to bed for a bit and concentrate on a family wedding in July, to be outdoors on the acres, and our Redeemer Sunshine Ladies Rummage Sale, which is July 20-21 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. And 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Discover what lives in Carpenter Creek Estuary A

s we watch the natural forces of water, wind, rain, tumbling rocks and woody debris sculpt our new Carpenter Creek estuary, we are starting to get the first glimpses of how the fish, birds and other aquatic life are using the “new slough.�

Many birds feed in the shallows on either side of the new bridge. Fish, crabs, shrimp and new shellfish are finding their way into new or reworked parts of Appletree Cove and estuary south of the bridge. It is time to start counting them!

As part of the postconstruction monitoring, Stillwaters volunteers and any other interested resident of the glorious north end of Kitsap can participate in this exciting exploration. On July 7, there will be

WATERWAYS

By BETSY COOPER a series of seining efforts to look at what fish and other critters are living in the new pools in this system.

We will start the exploration by using dip nets and two kinds of seines (beach and purse), sampling during different stages of the tide. This will involve folks holding nets, pulling them together to capture fish, and identifying and counting the fish, crabs and other organisms we find. There are also jobs such as filling buckets and releasing the fish after they are caught.

The idea for the seining is to observe and sample this habitat to see how it evolves into a more natural, stable community. The observa-

Along with this effort to look at critters, we will also sample the water and the sediment to learn what we

can from them.

Part of the efforts July 7 will also involve a snorkel survey. When the tide is high, along with netting fish, we will try to observe their behavior first hand by

Hunger doesn’t end in the summer time T

he summer school session held at Kingston’s Wolfle Elementary School is not paid for by the North Kitsap School District. That fact surprises a lot of people, especially those who recall summer school as a standard in American education, often used to address credit deficiency or behavioral issues.

The summer session at Wolfle began five years ago because staff was concerned with the learning gap that occurs during that season, known to be even higher in schools with high rates of low income.

that data analysis has proven that Wolfle has significantly closed that learning gap by operating this session. The first- through fifth-graders who attend are more likely to start the following school year with better retention of material previously learned if that material is reinforced in a fun, interactive environment, which still takes learning seriously.

The session is also advantageous to pre-schoolers transitioning to kindergarten, getting a taste of what school will be like, becoming familiar with the structures and behaviors required. This year’s session has a science theme,

private donations from the community. Jacki Haight of the Tribe’s Early Childhood and Family Services wrote the Discuran grant, which this year provides the session’s largest block of funding.

The session’s cost to operate for three weeks is about $26,000 — for salaries, transportation and field trips, and a breakfast and lunch provided onsite.

The school district provides some basic supplies, but nothing beyond that, so it takes some really dedicated individuals at Wolfle and a whole giving community to pull it off.

snorkeling and photographing the fish.

One of the tricky parts of this effort is to be an observer, but not to change the environment by your presence. Just being a big new presence in the water can spook the fish and make them do things they would not normally do. We are hoping to see the fish’s normal behaviors of schooling or foraging for food while experimenting with ways to observe without being intrusive.

So far this year, fisheries scientists have seen small pink salmon in the Kitsap waters. In our study area we see many sculpins darting around as we walk near the water. We have seen what we believe was a large school of shrimp along with many crabs in the pools that are forming.

Another abundant resident of the slough is Callianassa Californiensis, or ghost shrimp. There may also be some Upogebia pugettensis, blue mud shrimp. They look similar in many ways but their color and the shapes of their hard shell, the carapace, along with the shape of their first set of legs, distinguish them. Local fishermen come to the slough to dig these shrimp for use in steelhead fishing.

I hope you will consider coming down and observing or helping out when we do these or future fish and critter surveying. There is much work to do. Come join in the fun of exploration! — Betsy Cooper is a board member and stream monitor at Stillwaters Environmental Education Center.

cerned with hunger among the children of local lowincome families, many of whom attend Wolfle’s summer session, formed to ensure some of their nutritional needs would be met when school is out and the food programs operating during the school year have ceased. Kingston Rotarians Frederick Branchflower and Gene Medina brought together others in the community concerned with this issue. The group became Food for Kids, which collects money to support summer lunches.

Within this group, ShareNet’s role is to provide weekend take home food to about 85 kids per week at Wolfle’s summer session. This effort is an extension of our Food to Grow On program, provid-

ing this same service to four local schools during the school year.

Once the summer session concludes, Kingston Food Bank helps fill the gap by providing food packs to the same group of kids for the balance of the summer. Local Kiwanians and Rotarians combine forces through Food for Kids to fund Kingston Food Bank’s food packs.

Heronswood Continued from page 1 could also be a horticultural education center; Higa said the Tribe is working to create a partnership with local schools, such as Olympic College. “Everything right now is sort of a thought — what are we going to do, how are we going to approach it.�

The purchase came during what was already an exciting month for Port Gamble S’Klallam; the new Point Casino, twice the size and with 80 more jobs than its predecessor, opened two weeks earlier.

Heronswood was purchased in a sealed-bid auc-

Journey Continued from page 1 the batter’s box. Likewise, Price will place rowers in the canoe where she feels they work best. “I have pairs I will often put together, because I like the way they pull alongside each other,� Price said.

It takes strength to pull two hours or more, and mental discipline to keep going. “You really have to prepare yourself holistically,�

Price said.

The canoe is sacred. A prayer is offered before entering the canoe, Price said. Any anger or hostility is asked to be left behind. “We all have this goal to meet together,� Price said. “Working together as a team, we are going to accomplish that goal and make that dream happen.�

Price brings more than herself on the journey. “I have loved ones who are no longer with us who I take with me on the journey,� she said. “I travel in memory of people I love.�

Pulling practice begins months before the journey takes place. This year, the journey ends July 29 at the territory of the Squaxin Island Tribe. Up to 100 canoes from indigenous

tion conducted by Sheldon Good & Company under the direction of the estate’s owner, W. Atlee Burpee & Company, the largest gardening company in America.

Jane Woodward, an agent with John L. Scott in Poulsbo, handled the auction on behalf of Burpee.

She said she saw nearly 40 qualified buyers tour the property in the last four weeks, and a handful made serious bids.

Higa said the Tribe had been looking at the property for three years, and the auction “sort of forced our hand.� The Tribe has ancestral lands located within the property. “The thought of someone

else getting it and shutting it off to the community was not appealing to us,� Higa said. “We’re not horticulturists, we’re not gardeners, but [we thought] if we make a commitment to maintaining the gardens and finding a way to make it work for us, then let’s do it.�

Bidding closed June 15. W. Atlee Burpee is not releasing the amount of the bid until the sale closes in 30 days. The minimum bid was $749,000; the property was previously offered $1,795,000, according to Racebrook, the investment firm that handled the auction. The auction also included the Heronswood name and trademark for an additional cost, which the

Tribe also purchased. “It’s going to be great to have somebody local to maintain and enhance it even more,� Woodward said of Port Gamble S’Klallam.

The 15-acre property consists of botanical gardens that, according to Heronswood, played a pivotal role in introducing the United States to thousands of exotic plants gathered from remote regions across the globe. It was founded in 1987 by Dan Hinkley and Robert Jones, who sold it to W. Atlee Burpee in 2000.

The property includes three homes on three parcels.

The gardens feature more than 10,000 plants, many of which were collected dur-

ing expeditions to Central America, South America, China, Nepal, South Africa and other exotic locales by Hinkley. “Heronswood represents the pride and hard work of this community and we’re happy we’re able to play a role in its future,� Jeromy Sullivan, chairman of Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe, said in a announcement of the purchase. “We understand how passionate people are about Heronswood and, as a neighbor, we are committed to maintaining this local treasure. We look forward to gaining insight and expertise from the previous owners as well as working with the community to help shape

Heronswood’s future.�

George Ball, chairman of W. Atlee Burpee & Co. which owned Heronswood for the past 12 years, stated, “The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe has agreed both to preserve the historic gardens, and to use the facilities to educate their members, as well as the public, about native plants. We hope to assist it in carrying out its mission with support from the Burpee Foundation, since it is entirely consistent with the work we are currently involved in throughout the nation.�

The gardens will be open for tours June 30 for the last time under Burpee’s ownership. Call (724) 263-0363 or (215) 605-5603.

nations from throughout the Pacific Northwest will make the journey, some traveling as far as 680 miles. Canoes visit Port Gamble S’Klallam July 20 and Suquamish July 21-22.

At Point Julia, pullers young and old, experienced and inexperienced, test themselves on the waters of Port Gamble Bay and Hood Canal. Practice now lasts about an hour-and-ahalf and will increase as the journey nears.

Standing in a circle on the beach prior to practice June 13, a group of pullers discussed what it takes to be a puller: eat right, avoid drugs and alcohol, have a good attitude, get plenty of rest.

Pullers must be prepared for unknowns. When bad weather rolls in, the less experienced are replaced with experienced. “If we have some high currents or winds I need to depend on the pullers and know their ability,� said Price, who is responsible for pullers’ protection.

This year, if conditions are too extreme, the Coast Guard will ask all pullers to land and drive to the next destination as a safety precaution.

Typically, pullers switch out after about two hours.

The goal is to arrive at

the next destination within eight hours after casting off.

Pulling on calm water is still quite the task.

Bethany Swift, who joined a canoe family in 1997 at age 12, will be an active skipper this year, responsible for the 800-pound canoe and all hands.

Physical preparedness is key, but, for skippers, so is keeping up with meetings.

Swift said the meetings keep her informed at all times. The mother of two is busy. “I get sleep when I can,� she said.

Swift, who was a S’Klallam princess when she was younger, began training as skipper in 2005.

As ceremonial royalty, she knows what it takes to be active in the community and how to be a leader.

Like princesses, the skipper is a role model position.

The skipper is watched by peers, other skippers, and elders.

Like the other skippers, Swift and Price must watch the pullers carefully.

Often times, it will be the nonverbal communication that tells skippers it’s time for someone to rest. Being a skipper means being able to read people.

If someone shows signs of exhaustion and is asked if they can continue, Swift said it’s not the puller’s fault. A tired puller, however, does slow the canoe down. Again, participants are working to make it to their destination within eight hours or less. “If we have too many tired pullers, we’re not going to get anywhere,�

Swift said.

Young pullers know prior to the journey whether they will be allowed to pull on the journey. Some may be asked to train for another year before they can participate in the canoe, Price said.

Swift knows what it’s like to be young and unable to pull. The canoe she skippers was being carved when she was 3. It’s part of her life. But when she started pulling in 1997, her grandfather was afraid for her safety and kept her on

the support boat. She kept at it and, soon enough, was pulling. It made her grandfather proud.

Whether someone pulls is based on ability, not age.

“If you can keep up with the adults and pull strong for two hours, you can come,� Price said. “But it’s not up to me, it’s up to you.�

Catch dauber fever with Kingston bingo D

o you like to win?

Do you crave games of chance but, like me, are way too cheap to drop bundles of money at a casino? Do you yearn to hang with Kingston’s glitterati? Do you enjoy dragging home giant summer sausages and tubs of Cheez Puffs like the conquering hero you are? Well, of course you do!

So hold onto your dauber ’cause I have your new pastime right here.

Bingo. B-I-N-G-O. That’s right. Only five letters, but lots of numbers.

Happy days are here in Kingston, because no fewer than three local bars/restaurants offer free bingo throughout week.

That’s right ‌ I said

free!

Well, each venue does offer one “money game� at $2 per card, with a nice cash prize for the winner, but otherwise you pay only in the agony of defeat and the occasional thrill of victory. Of course, politeness demands ordering at least a couple of drinks (soda pop counts) and an appetizer or, even better, a full meal.

Here’s the schedule: ■Filling Station, Mondays and Wednesdays, 3:30-5 p.m. ■Puer to Vallar ta, Monday, 3:30-5 p.m. ■Drifters, Fridays, 8-10 p.m.

In addition, trivia is played at the Filling Station Sundays at 7:30 p.m., and at Puerto Vallarta Thursdays

ON KINGSTON TIME

By WENDY TWETEN at 7:30 p.m. Older kids can play along at Drifters and the Filling Station since the bar and restaurant are in the same room.

My recent bingo-mania began last New Year’s Eve in Hansville. Ted and I were looking for something fun and local to do with our 13-year-old son, Will. We ended up at one of the Buck Lake Community Center’s semi-annual bingo fundraisers. Although the games aren’t free, it’s an evening’s entertainment for less than $20. And entertaining it

was: Will won two consecutive games. One more win and we would have been escorted to the Eglon line.

New Year’s Eve would undoubtedly have been the end of my bingo phase if it weren’t for my childhood friend, Jackie, who recently moved back to Kingston from the wilds of Seattle.

Jackie — hopeful to find social life in Kingston and wondering where the heck the singles clubs are — started attending bingo at the Drifters where our mutual friend Big Toni tends bar, calls the games, and breaks your arm if you ask her repeatedly what she means by a “chevron� bingo. (Note: “Big� was tacked onto her name back in high school to differen-

tiate her from our other friend, Little Toni. I don’t wish to give you the wrong impression and me a broken arm.)

Win at the Drifters and you win big! I’m talking Costco big. Tubs of snack foods, hunks of cheese, slabs of bacon, and mountains of toilet paper. OK, I’m kidding about the toilet paper but, hey, why not?

However, the best prize of all are the brownies! More brownies than you can eat in a week, or I can eat on the way home.

The best part of winning — aside from screaming “BINGO!� in the ear of the person sitting next to you — is sharing your spoils. Pop open that brownie bucket and offer them around.

After introducing my youngest son to gambling on New Year’s Eve, I then dragged middle son Alex and his friends down the dark and dauber-ridden path. No longer the refuge of the middle-aged, Kingston bingo is being adopted by the 21-year-old set. Let’s face it, the price is right for those with college debt. And free snack foods are always appreciated.

As for the game itself, there’s a comforting consistency in the same lame puns that are delivered during each game. What naughty comment will follow a call of “O-69� tonight?

So, a big thank you to the businesses that have given me a reason to leave my house and hang with friends again. Bingo today ‌ trivia tomorrow! — Contact Wendy Tweten at wendy@wendytweten. com.

OPG president outlines vision for Port Gamble PORT GAMBLE GAZETTE

Gamble is well-documented, but what’s often overlooked are the town’s deep New England roots, which stretch back to the founding of Port Gamble in 1853.

Those roots are reflected in the redevelopment master plan, with small, New England-style houses set in an orderly, tree-lined grid of streets and alleys overlooking Hood Canal and Gamble Bay. A nearby commercial district, bustling with shops, museums, restaurants and a theater, provides arts and entertainment amenities to the town’s residents and outside visitors. A

small, intimate inn anchors an active waterfront that includes a small dock and nearly a mile of waterfront trails.

Not far from the town’s center lies an agricultural cluster, featuring a small creamery, garden plots and greenhouses, an orchard and perhaps a winery. Just outside the town limits are miles of trails that beckon outdoor recreation enthusiasts.

Sound like a pipe dream?

Actually, it’s OPG’s vision for Port Gamble, all of which is outlined in the town’s redevelopment master plan and is allowed under current

zoning laws.

We invite you to learn more and to get involved in the planning process for Port Gamble’s future. First, please visit our website, www.itsyourbackyard.com, which provides timely news updates through a company blog, plus a news sections that posts the latest press releases and media coverage. You can also actively participate in the planning process by submitting comments and suggestions on the convenient feedback form on the website.

For more in-depth information, visit the sister website, www.popenorthkitsap.

com, to see both versions of the current master plan plus a table showing the allowed building options under the county’s zoning codes.

The entire North Kitsap community is in this together. After all, it’s our future and the future lies in our backyard.

—Jon Rose is president of Olympic Property Group, a subsidiary of Pope Resources which owns the town of Port Gamble and nearly 7,000 acres of surrounding timberland in north Kitsap County.

The ‘Rhody’ had a long, colorful history

By REX LEE CARLAW Special to the News

W

ashington State Ferries’ Rhododendron, one of the original two ferries purchased by the State of Washington to modernize the fleet after acquiring it from Puget Sound Navigation Company (Black Ball Line), was retired Jan. 23.

The Rhody’s story starts in Baltimore, where she was built for $750,000 by the Maryland State Roads Commission to run from Sandy Point to Matapeake.

She ran from 1947 until 1952 when the Chesapeake Bay Bridge opened.

Washington State Ferries bought her for a bargain $301,000 and Puget Sound Tug & Barge Co.’s tug Wando did the honors of bringing her through the Panama Canal and up the West Coast. Her original name was Governor Herbert R. O’Conor and with her frequent running mate Olympic, also purchased from Maryland, they were the first vessels without Indian names in a new, but short-lived plan by the State of Washington to select touristy names.

After the Evergreen State came out in 1954, the Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society put its foot down and gathered enough public support to return to the old Black Ball-style of Native American names.

The Rhododendron found a home on Hood Canal, serving the LofallSouth Point run until the bridge opened in 1961. She was often assisted by the Crosline, originally built by Bing Crosby’s uncle, and the Kitsap.

The Rhododendron next tried her luck on the Edmonds-Kingston run as an extra boat on Sunday afternoons in spring 1962.

She ran opposite the much speedier Klickitat and was hopelessly inadequate, being lapped frequently and suffering the indignity of having to pull out at Edmonds and let the Klickitat get ahead of her. Also, her rounded East Coast-style bow and stern did not fit very well at Edmonds and Kingston.

So, she was sent north to the Mukilteo-Clinton run where she soon took over as the No. 1 boat, serving with her old Chesapeake Bay running mate Olympic.

The Rhododendron ferry docks during its last day of service on the Point Defiance/Tahlequah route.

Contributed When Washington State Ferries took over the Port Townsend-Coupeville run, the Olympic was the main boat at first, but since the Rhododendron carried 10 more cars and her name fit with Port Townsend’s signature civic event, the Rhododendron Festival, she wound up running there often. Eventually both Maryland boats were assigned to the run.

In 1984, her bow and stern were made pointier and she took over the San Juan Islands inter-island service for the summer.

After more duty at Port Townsend as No. 2 with her old friend Klickitat from the Edmonds-Kingston debacle, she wound up in 1986 tied up at Eagle Harbor.

At the time, Lorne Campbell, a Northwest ferry expert, wrote, “I don’t think Rhody will see service again.� The Washington State Ferries position reports said, “Out of service: Due to return, unknown.� Some days she

disappeared from the position report entirely. And the date on “Due to return� was left blank. By January 1989, she was shown as “Out of commission.�

In 1990, things started looking up for the Rhody again. She went into Todd Shipyard in Seattle for a thorough refurbishment which was then continued at Eagle Harbor shipyard.

On Feb. 7, 1994, she took over the Point DefianceTahlequah run where she stayed until this year. Her only other assignment was as a temporary SouthworthVashon Island extra vessel when her own regular route was closed for dock repairs.

The Rhododendron was replaced by the new ferry Chetzemoka at a cost of more than $70 million.

The Rhododendron has no watertight compartments and so is not certified to cross shipping lanes since modern requirements took effect and she lost her grandfathered rights at the

time of her refurbishment.

This limited her use and made her much less safe than modern vessels.

While her upperworks are in great shape because of the refurbishment, her hull is depreciated and it is not feasible to bring her up to modern standards. She will likely be offered for sale soon and may wind up in a recycling plant such as the one in Mexico where the steel electrics were towed recently.

The Rhododendron also did relief work on the Steilacoom-Ketron IslandAnderson Island run for

Pierce County from 2008 to 2010. My nephew, Andy Kaiyala, loved her on that run because she was so slow that it gave him more time for reading! I rode her on that triangle route and was amazed at how ponderous she was getting turned around at Ketron Island to keep the cars for Anderson Island facing the right direction. I remember as a kid asking Capt. Robert Vose about her speed. It was listed as 13 knots, but it certainly did not seem to measure up to expectations.

Capt. Vose said, “Maybe if she had just come out of the yard with her bottom scraped, had no cars aboard, add a good tide and a fair wind behind her, and the engine was tuned up and run at full speed, she might get close to 13 knots, but I doubt it.�

Many Vashon islanders came down to ride her

on her last day and Steve Parrick from Jefferson Beach and I were the last passengers to board her as she sailed from Tahlequah, and to disembark at Point Defiance. She sailed away to Eagle Harbor and a final reception was held by the state on Feb. 11, 2011. It is not expected that she will see any further service although she did pass her Coast Guard inspection and could be used in an emergency during the next year.

My cousin, Allen Carlaw, was the ace welder on the Todd swing shift and did the vessel’s beautiful brass work when she was refurbished, so I had family pride in the old girl. Due to vehicles getting larger over the years, her capacity was only 48 cars by the end vs. 70 originally, so the new 64-car Chetzemoka is quite an improvement for the run.

Farewell and fond adieu to the venerable Rhododendron.

Village Green project history highlights: 2001: Village Green Concept Plan shows a replacement community center at the Village Green, site of the soonto-be replaced sewer plant.

2002: Community center survey shows that residents want a new building which includes, a better library, safe access, youth recreational space, more usable meeting rooms, and better parking.

2006-2007: Kitsap County purchases Navy Housing for

the express purpose of relocating the Community Center.

2009: VGF with community volunteers establish a public park on the Navy Housing site.

2010: Voters pass Metropolitan Park District to ensure operational funding for the park and replacement Community Center in perpetuity. Local community members pledged $200,000 for the new building.

2011: State awards VGF a $1 Million reimbursement grant for the new building.

2012 status: Board members and committee members have contributed $320,000 toward the new building.

Sale of the land for senior apartments brings $600,000 to the project. We have $1.7 million still to raise; if we can raise it in the coming months, we can start construction next year. Expect to see groundbreaking in July for the separately funded senior apartments behind the tennis courts. The pea-patch garden is gathering steam and planting will begin soon.

Chamber and community members gathered together to celebrate the opening of the new John L. Scott Kingston location with a ribbon cutting on June 18th. The new location is inside the Kingston Albertsons plaza at 8208 NE State Highway 104, Suite B105.

Stop in and check out their new “home�.

We are a value-driven organization: We do not spend a single dollar unnecessarily. Volunteers erected the fence, mow the lawn, whack the weeds, and fix what’s broken. It’s the community’s park, and to a great extent the Community Center will be “By Us, For Us�.

A GLANCE AT THE PAST

By HARRIET MUHRLEIN

O

ur picture this month is of a lovely sandy beach at low tide. It is on the north side of the ferry parking lot.

There are steps down to the beach that are very well used during the summer months.

Many of the senior citizens who lived in Kingston as children called this beach “North Beach.�

The uplands on the water side of Washington Avenue were platted in 1905 and sold as building lots as part of a development called “Saltair Beach Tracts.�

Over time the winds and tides on Puget Sound have eroded the smaller lots (and part of Washington Avenue) into the sound.

A community member has suggested the beach be named “Saltair Beach� instead of “North Beach.�

The Kingston Historical Society would like your votes and opinions. You can reach us via computer at www.kingstonhistory.org; by mail at P.O. Box 333, Kingston, WA 98346; or by calling Harriet Muhrlein or Jack Minert. We will tally the votes and report after our July 25 meeting. — Contact historian and columnist Harriet Muhrlein at harrietmuhrlein@comcast.net

‘Wired,’ a wire-haired terrier with her coffee, by Mike Clarke.

Class of 1952 remembers classmate Mike Clarke, artist and teacher

By HARRIET MUHRLEIN

/& 45 )XZ ,JOHTUPO t

Residents have different names for the beach north of the Kingston ferry terminal: Saltair Beach and North Beach.

Contributed

KINGSTON — Members of North Kitsap High School’s Class of 1952 are remembering classmate William Michael Clarke, who died June 13.

Mike Clarke and his family moved from Seattle to Kingston before he began high school. He attended North Kitsap High through 1951. His family then to Port Ludlow and he graduated from Chimacum High

School in 1952.

He attended Western Washington College in Bellingham, majoring in physical education and minoring in art. He returned to the area to teach and coach in Jefferson County, moving to Chimacum High School in 1964.

After his official retirement in 1988, he returned to painting (and continued fishing for salmon, coaching middle school students

Harriet Muhrlein

and substituting). He enjoyed painting anthropomorphic critters engaging in human endeavors. Some of his works are spoofs of works by famous painters.

Mike died very suddenly and unexpectedly about two days after placing some of his prints at the Poulsbohe-

mian. One of the prints is a spoof of Gauguin’s “Tahitian Paradise� titled “Tahitian Bearadise.� Another is of a wire-haired terrier with her coffee, entitled, “Wired.�

The memorial service for Mike Clarke is scheduled for July 7, 1 p.m., in the Chimacum High School Gym. A public potluck and celebration of his life will follow at 4 p.m. at the Elks Lodge.

The North Kitsap High School Class of 1952 will have its 60th reunion on June 30.

Dear MML: Typically, most people when building their new home get an AllIn-One Construction Loan.
