ILVERDALE — On the second floor of JCPenney, in the children’s section, six young students excitedly perused potential back-to-school clothes. The students’ parents or
guardians stood close by, watching as the young ones prepared for a new school year in the North Kitsap School District. Some were returning students, some entering kindergarten. Natalie, 5, was getting ready for her first day
at Wolfle Elementary. Holding up a new skirt, she said she’s excited to join her older brother at the school. Natalie picked her outfit, with her mother and “grandmother” from the Sunshine Ladies of the Redeemer United
Methodist Church in Kingston. The soon-to-be kindergartener began with shoes and worked to build her new school wardrobes. “This is my skirt,” Natalie said proudly. Is she excited to go to See SHOPPING, Page A2
Jefferson County man killed in crash near Suquamish LOCAL NEWS, ANYTIME Scan this code to receive local news on your mobile device
One man injured; 8th vehicle fatality since February 2011 SUQUAMISH — A Jefferson County man died and a Suquamish man was hospitalized with lifethreatening injuries after
a vehicle crash between Suquamish and Poulsbo Aug. 22. It’s the eighth vehiclerelated fatality in North Kitsap since February 2011 and the second one this year. According to the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office report, Wayne D. Stewart,
41, of Chimacum, was driving a Ford Windstar van southbound on Columbia Street with the Suquamish man, age 24, when the crash occurred. The van left the roadway, crashed through a fence and struck a large tree, according to the report. The passenger
was ejected through the windshield, and Stewart, the driver, was partially ejected. Neither man was wearing a seatbelt. The crash was reported at 9:38 p.m. Aug. 22 just south of the intersection of Columbia Street and Lincoln Road. See CRASH, Page A11
SUQUAMISH — The Suquamish Tribe has filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Navy, the Army Corps of Engineers and the National Marine Fisheries Service, to fight the proposed explosives-handling wharf at Naval Base Kitsap Bangor. “We just came to an impasse,” Suquamish Chairman Leonard Forsman said. “The Navy wasn’t willing to acknowledge our treaty rights.” The proposed wharf is located in Hood Canal, within what the Tribe says is it’s usual and accustomed fishing and harvesting grounds protected by the Treaty of Point Elliott of 1855. Forsman said Suquamish and the Navy have met since 2009 and reached some consensus on financial and environmental mitigation earlier this year. However, Forsman said the Navy did not acknowledge Suquamish treaty rights in Hood Canal, citing a 1984 court case regarding Tribal jurisdiction.
“The Suquamish Tribe’s treaty rights in Hood Canal remain intact, according to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.” — Melody Allen, Suquamish Tribe attorney See Lawsuit, Page A10
