Bremerton police chief retires after 37 years
City gears up for Pacific Avenue overhaul By KEVAN MOORE
kmoore@soundpublishing.com
City officials are trying to get the word out early and often about a pending overhaul of downtown Bremerton’s main drag, Pacific Avenue. “The project is going to entirely reconstruct the street and put in new utilities, so there’s going to be a lot of activity,” said Bremerton Public Works Director Chal Martin. In order to continue efforts to get feedback on the project, the city will host a public meeting at 5 p.m. Feb. 26 to discuss final proposed design features and get input on construction sequencing. Martin said that construction could get underway by early June. The Pacific Avenue
Reconstruction Project includes major reconstruction of the street between 6th and 11th Streets. Work will include above ground improvements and underground utility work, both of which will result in traffic and pedestrian impacts. Above ground work includes a combination of streetscapes and intersection improvements. Placing electrical lines underground will take place south of 9th Street. The city obtained grant funding to pay for the undergrounding work for the main power grid, but each private property owner will need to pay for the connection over private property to the building served. Martin said that undergrounding cost estimates from Puget

Monday holiday means closures
The City of Bremerton hosted a send-off last week at city hall for retiring police chief Craig Rogers. One of the speakers at the event was Kitsap County Sheriff Steve Boyer, above. Also during the event, Mayor Patty Lent presented Rogers with a plaque honoring his 37 years of service to the city.

Retiring Police Chief Craig Rogers told a crowd of well-wishers last week that he’s never been sorry he picked a profession in law enforcement. “When I started out, I was like every other cop,” he said. “I wanted to serve the community. I knew the benefits and the working conditions weren’t that great. I knew I’d be working nights and weekends and probably not be home with my family on the holidays. That
didn’t matter. I was just excited to be a cop.” More than 100 people gathered last Thursday to say thank you to Rogers who officially retired Feb. 9. Rogers spent 37 years with the Bremerton Police Department. Friends and family, other law enforcement officers and past and present city officials listened as he spoke about his career. “I’ve been going through everything in my office the past couple of weeks,” he said. “All the newspaper clippings, the cards and letters and the pictures. All of the history
just comes pouring back to you.” Rogers began his career as a patrol officer on Feb. 9, 1976. His promotion to sergeant came in 1983. In 1990 he was named captain of the operation division and after being acting chief for three months in 2005, he was named to the position Jan. 1, 2006. According to Mayor Patty Lent, the chief wanted to end his career on Feb. 9 because many of the important dates in his career were on Feb. 9. See CHIEF, A13

Level three sex offender living in Silverdale
The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office reported to the public last week, in accordance with state law, that a level three sex offender has moved to the Silverdale area. Sex offenders in Washington state are divided into three risk levels. Level one offenders are considered at low risk of re-offend i ng. Level two offenders Devin Dozier are those that are considered to present a moderate risk of re-offense. Level three offenders pose a high risk to re-offend within the community. The offender, Devin Dozier, is now residing in the 9700 block of Ebbtide Lane NW in Silverdale. Dozier is a 6’ tall, 215 lb., black male, age 20, with black hair and brown eyes. A community meeting will be held, in accordance with state law, regarding Dozier’s residence. The meeting will be at 6 p.m. on Feb. 19 in the Poplar Room of the Silverdale Community Center, 9729 Silverdale Way NW, Silverdale. Dozier was convicted last month of “communicating with a minor for immoral purposes,” after sending a minor sexually explicit text messages and nude photographs of himself, according to Kitsap County Sheriffs. Dozier is not wanted by law enforcement at this time. The notice of his residence is legislative requirement, to keep neighbors informed. “The sheriff’s office has no legal authority to direct where a registered sex offender may or may nor reside,” the sheriff’s office said in a press release. “Unless courtordered restrictions exist, these offenders are constitutionally free to live wherever they choose.” Further information on registered sex offenders in Kitsap County can be found by contacting Detective Doug Dillard at 360 3375617.

Bremerton Mayor Patty Lent congratulates June Bess on turning 100 last week.
Bremerton resident turns 100 By Jessica Ginet jginet@soundpublishing.com
When June W. Bess was born, William Howard Taft was president of the United States. Bess, who resides in Bremerton, celebrated her 100th birthday on Feb. 8 with friends and family at her home at Bay Vista. Bess was born June Williamson in Salt Lake City, Utah. She lived in Salt Lake City for 50 years and then California for ten years before moving to Silverdale. Bess has lived at Bay Vista
since 2009. Her eldest son, Stanley, travelled with his wife from New Jersey for his mother’s birthday. “During the war she put up fruit, bushels of tomatoes, jams – - funny how that’s one thing that really sticks out in my memory,” he recalled. He also said that during the war his mother worked hard to get priority approval with the mail service so she could get his bike delivered. “I was nine years old,” he said.
Bess spoke about raising her three children, Stanley, Larry and Kathie, as her most “notable life event.” Her sons, Stanley and Larry, attended her celebration, along with their wives. She loves to have coffee and socialize. Her birthday celebration was special. “The wonderful people around me and all the good wishes and joy makes it special,” she said. The family followed up with a second birthday party on Feb. 9.

1936
Did you know... “Field of Dreams”
… in 1936, the Bremerton Pilots Association invited Lt. Elliott Merrill, president of Washington Aircraft and Transport of Seattle, to fly into their new airport. His reaction? “....this location….has greater possibilities for development than has Boeing Field in Seattle…..”. Because of a few intrepid pilots and
far-sighted land owners willing to donate land, today’s Bremerton National Airport, begun from a 600’ x 15’ “field of dreams”, accommodates aircraft from single-engine to 737s on a 6,000’ all-weather fully-lighted runway and is the largest airport in the West Sound region.

The time is now for sales tax initiative
OPINION
We believe it is time for our county commissioners to enact the one-tenth of 1 percent sales tax initiative to provide dedicated revenue needed to expand treatment capacity for Kitsap County citizens with mental illnesses and/or substance use disorders, and for the Guest therapeutic courts and Column housing known to improve treatment outcomes. The World Health Organization reports four of the ten leading causes of disability worldwide are mental disorders. In the U.S., one of every five families is affected by mental illnesses. In Kitsap Joe Roszak County, mental illness and chemical dependency are the two top priorities to our Public Health Department. In Kitsap County the burden of illness was thoroughly identified in community needs assessments conducted in 2006, and again in 2009. Every penny raised on a $10 purchase in Kitsap County stays in Kitsap County, to be spent on Kitsap County citizens. We are requesting development of a community behavioral health plan that incorporates a transparent, accountable and public process, supported by funds allocated by and distributed through a Request for Proposals with a citizen engaged advisory vetting process and evaluated on performance measures and public progress reports. Because this initiative is provided by law (RCW 82.14.460), the funding must be specifically directed and cannot be diverted into unrelated services, products or administration. For every penny on a $10 purchase, we expect to accomplish some significant returns on the investment. This includes a reduction in the number of people with mental illness and/ See ROSZAK, A5

Mardi Gras is theme of Westsound Business Expo By Leslie Kelly
lkelly@soundpublishing.com
It’s a chance to learn about local businesses and have some fun all at the same time. That’s what the Westsound Business Expo is all about. “Our focus is really on having fun,” said John Hunter, who has organized the event. “We want everybody to come out just to have a good time.” T he Westsou nd Business Expo, in its sixth year, will be from 2 to 7 p.m. Feb. 21 in
the Kitsap Sun Pavillion at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds. More than 150 exhibitors will have booths where they will share what they do with the public. Larger commercial businesses and the smaller “Mom and Pop businesses” will be included, Hunter said. “This is sponsored by a number of chambers in the area,” Hunter said. “And many of those who will be there will be chamber members. But we want everybody to participate — to come and have some food and get to know us.”
The theme of this year’s expo is Celebrate Mardi Gras. There will be free beads and chocolates being handed out and there will be a parade at 5:30 p.m. Kids are welcome to join in the parade. “We’ve got a float that will go around inside the building and we’ll be playing pop and Cajun music,” Hunter said. “It’s really a spirited thing.” For exhibitors and businesses, there will be a session of speed networking. Individuals will stand in two lines and much like speed dating,
they will have a minute or two to hand off a business card to the person across from them, and tell a bit about their business. When the whistle blows, it will be time to move on to the next person to the right. “There’s such an opportunity to meet so many people,” Hunter said. “You can market yourself and make new contacts all in a very fun atmosphere.” Many booths will have samples of their wares and food for those attending to share and there will be a special area for
Kitsap Bank sees solid earnings Kitsap Bank has announced year-end earnings for 2012 with profits for the twelve months totaling $7.8 million, the highest earnings level in four years. Assets for the bank now total $922 million, up $17 million. In a statement released by the bank, bank officials said non-performing assets have continued to decline and are only 0.5 percent of total assets — one of the lowest ratios of any bank in the State of Washington. Kitsap Bank remains
highly liquid, largely due to strong core deposit growth, the release said. Total deposits reached $805 million at year end, increasing over $30 million for the year. The company continues to maintain a strong capital position, with total capital exceeding $101 million. “The Bank had a good year,” said Steve Politakis, chief executive officer. “Profits increased over last year, despite a tough economy. Our deposits continue to grow, reflecting the confidence that
consumers and business owners have in Kitsap Bank. The quality of our loan portfolio is outstanding and we look forward to providing creative lending solutions for our customers.” Established August 8, 1908, Kitsap Bank is headquartered in Port Orchard and operates 21 locations throughout western Washington. With more than $900 million in assets, the bank provides a full range of financial services to commercial and individual customers. Kitsap

is more than $100 billion yearly in the U.S. Yet the best treatments for serious mental illnesses today are highly effective; between 70 percent and 90 percent of individuals have significant reduction of symptoms and improved quality of life with a combination of behavioral health treatments and community supports. With appropriate treatment and services, most people who live with serious mental illnesses can significantly reduce the impact of their illness and find a satisfying measure of achievement and independence. Currently, more than 30 different social service agencies, governmental entities, and civic groups have signed resolutions encouraging the county commissioners to enact the one-tenth of 1 percent sales tax initiative. Given the frequency of
mental illness, its significant negative impact to individuals, families and our communities, and the success of effective treatment, we believe it is time for Kitsap County commissioners to pass the one-tenth of 1 percent sales tax initiative so that these funds can be used to make our small corner of the world a better and safer place for all Kitsap citizens.

or chemical dependency using the costly services of the jail, emergency rooms and hospitals. We expect to reduce the overall incidence and severity of mental illness and chemical dependency in youth as well as adults through early intervention services. Finally we expect to increase safe, decent housing options with supportive services that provide stability and increase the likelihood of people staying successfully housed. Without treatment, the consequences of mental illness are staggering: unnecessary disability, unemployment, substance abuse, homelessness, incarceration, suicide and wasted lives. The economic cost of untreated mental illness

Kids can have their pictures taken with them.” Along with all the activity, there will be more than $5,000 in prizes awarded. Hunter, who owns The Logo Loft, is a member of several of the sponsoring chambers. His business puts logos on banners and other products such as clothing items.
“When I moved here, I was surprised at how many different chambers were in the area,” he said. “Back home in Charlotte (NC) there was only one. I love this event because it gets together all the chambers and their members and the general public for a really fun time.” The event’s main sponsor is Kitsap Credit Union. Participating chambers of commerce include: Bremerton, Bainbridge, Gig Harbor, Kingston, Poulsbo, Port Orchard, North Mason and Silverdale. There is no fee to attend.

An artist with a passion for hair By Leslie Kelly lkelly@soundpublishing.com
For Jewel Shepherd, a head of hair is a blank canvass and she is the artist. “It’s the opportunity to create, to transform a woman and make her feel better about herself,” Shepherd said. “Sometimes my clients come in and they don’t know what they want. But because we have a relationship and they trust me, I make suggestions and begin to create.” Shepherd has been a beautician and stylist for more than five years. Her specialty is braiding, weaves and extensions. She has a shop in her home where clients can come to her. But she also goes to them. “Sometimes my clients would prefer to come here so that they can get away from their kids and the things that need to be done at home,” she said. “Other times, they want me to come to them, especially if they’re getting ready for a special event.” Shepherd said she knew
she wanted to go to cosmetology school after she began working in a salon at age 19. “I was a friend of the owner and I started working as a receptionist, just helping her out,” Shepherd said. “I knew how to braid and even though it was more of a barber shop, I got to do some braids.” Braiding was something she taught herself. “At first, I would braid my dolls’ hair,” she said. “Then I did my own and when it didn’t come out, I knew I must be pretty good. So I began braiding my friend’s hair.” As the only daughter in her family, with four older brothers, Shepherd admitted she was the princess in the family. Her father was in the Navy and Bremerton was her home. “We didn’t have a lot of money,” she said. “But I loved hair and makeup and shoes. Every time I had the chance, I’d buy something to use in my hair.” In 2007 she began attending cosmetology school at
Olympic College West Sound Skills Center in Bremerton. She graduated in 2009. With her license in hand, she began working in salons and eventually, in 2011 she and her husband built their home. “We made this room my salon,” she said. ‘We picked out everything and decorated it ourselves.” Her salon, done in black and white and purple, has a stylist chair, a sink, two hair dryer stations, and, most importantly a television. “My clients love being able to come here and relax and watch TV while they get their hair done,” she said. Her talents include single braids, cornrows, microbraids and twists. She does all coloring techniques including highlights, foils and frosts. She cuts hair, and applies relaxers, permanents and straightening products. Her clients include women and children and she works on all ethnicities. “Children can be challenging,” she said. “But coming here to an in-home salon

makes it less scary. And I have these cute little kidsized capes with penguins on them. They get so interested in the penguins that they forget I’m cutting their hair.” Shepherd has also found a specialty. She helps mothers of mixed-race children understand how to care for their children’s hair. “Sometimes some mothers aren’t use to working with African American hair,” she said. “It’s not anything they’ve ever had to deal with. So I help them understand the care that this hair needs. And salons also refer people to me when they can’t provide the service that is needed.” Shepherd does cut men’s hair, but prefers to work on women’s hair. “I know the technique of side-shaving,” she said, of the style often seen on African American men. “But it’s not my main service.” One service she provides that is really important to her is working with women who have lost their hair because of cancer treatments. “It’s very humbling,” she said. “Knowing what these women have gone through with chemo and radiation, I love that I can help them feel good. I can style their wigs and I make wigs. And as their own hair grows back in, I

She buys online and from local hair supply stores. For the extensions, she uses both synthetic hair and human hair. Depending on the kind of hair a client wants, extensions can run from $50 to $200. Some luxury hair, such as Brazilian or Bohemian, can be as much as $400. Hair is attached with a carotene bonded glue and sometimes sewn into the clients actual hair with a thread and needle. Extensions can last for several months if the hair is maintained well and washed and dried often.

Some braiding and extensions can take from six to eight hours to apply. Some micro-braids can take up to 18 hours to complete, depending on the amount of hair. “I have had some times when a client will have half her hair done one day and then come back the next to finish,” she said. “It’s a real work of art and it can be stressful. But it’s worth it especially when you see the results.” Shepherd considers herself an artist and a businesswoman. She is going to school to get her bachelor’s degree in business. She keeps her own books and she does her own marketing. Right now, she works in between classes and studying. But she takes all the appointments she can, especially for extensions. “My favorite thing to do is extensions,” she said. “And I love doing hair for brides.” For a wedding party, she can work on as many as five to eight women at once. “I go with a friend who does makeup,” she said. ‘We start about seven in the morning and by noon we have everybody ready to be in the wedding. It’s a marathon.” She also does hair for young women before proms and prior to other performances and she has been involved in preparing contestants for the Miss Kitsap pageant. Whether she’s working at home or out on the road, Shepherd has just one thing in mind. “I want to help women feel good about themselves,” she said. “Hair is such a big thing in our culture. Not everybody naturally has great hair. But with some help, everybody can have great hair.” Shepherd is available at House of Glam at 360 9903372.

Kaleo Guerrero, a junior at Olympic High School, sings an opening solo during jazz choir practice Tuesday morning. He is backed up by the rest of Olympic’s jazz choir.
Guerrero said. “You can’t just not be dedicated and get here.” When he was in 9th grade, Guerrero was selected to perform with one of the other choirs, but those other group’s are much larger than the All-Northwest jazz choir he’ll be performing with on Saturday. “The feel’s going to be a lot different though, because it’s going to be 26 people instead of 200, 300, and that’s an entirely different feeling,” Guerrero said. As one of only 26 students that will be standing on stage in front of a concert hall full of music educators, Guerrero will be showcasing his vocals for many of the people in the best position to judge his talent. That isn’t something from which he’s one to back down, though. Music is Guerrero’s passion, and he’s been practicing his whole life. “Music has just been a part of my life since I was two years old,” he said.

Library seeking feedback on a new facility By Leslie Kelly lkelly@soundpublishing.com
If residents of Central Kitsap could have anything they want in a library, what would that be? That’s the question behind an online survey by the Kitsap Regional Library, aimed at finding out if residents of the Silverdale area would financially support building a new and improved library. “This can’t be KLR (Kitsap Regional Library system) telling the community you need a new library,” said Jeff Brody, community relations director for KRL. “That’s got to come from the residents themselves.” After a library levy failed in 2007 and again in 2010, the district didn’t have the money to make any improvements or expand the Silverdale Library. While the district supports a new library in Silverdale, part of the funding for it would have to come from donations to a capital campaign, Brody said. “But before we take on something like that, we need to know if the citizens will support it,” he said.
So the survey was drafted. The online survey, at www.surveymonkey.com/s/ SilverdaleLibrary, will be used to determine the public’s level of interest in a new library. The survey should not be confused with another survey currently offered by KRL that looks at how patrons throughout the county view the library they use and what they think of services offered at area libraries. “We’ve emailed our Silverdale cardholders and we’ve received about 1,000 responses,” he said. “But we want to get comments from people who don’t regularly use the library. We want the survey to be representative of a variety of people. We want to hear from nonusers.” Brody said he is working to put together a committee of people with fundraising experience from the Silverdale area who will review the survey results and determine whether to undertake fundraising efforts to build a new library. The Silverdale library which is now about 4,900
Prune with care By Joe Machcinski We are now getting into pruning season. The right time for pruning depends on the plant. For deciduous trees I like them to come out of dormancy before I make some cuts. Too many times people prune too early. This produces water sprouts. When plants go dormant in the fall they store food in the roots for next year’s grow cycle. When you prune in the early spring before plants have had a chance to pull all their energy out in growth you get the water sprouts. People often ask me why to prune plants while they are dormant. The only thing I do in the dormant stage is dead wood. You have to be careful with some trees like Japanese maples in the dormant stage because the sap flow is pretty low and the tree is very fragile. They break pretty easy. I wait until now to start pruning the maples. When plants get done blooming give them some love. Never prune too much. A rule is no more than a third at a time. Never top your tree or shrub. It is very important to make the
right cuts. In an earlier blog on pruning I went over the two basic cuts of pruning and the three Ds: Dead, Diseased and Dumb or growing in the wrong direction. Heading and thinning cuts. A heading cut is making a cut to a node or bud. A thinning cut is taking out a branch to where it originates. This time of year you can easily rub a shoot off the branch before it gets too tough to do later. And remember always prune to a branch collar. The collar is that swollen part at the base of a branch. If the branch is too big, use the three cut method. Follow the branch about a foot from the collar. Make an undercut an inch on the branch on the top of the branch go about two to three inches make a cut the weight of the branch will fall and break off at the undercut and the final cut is at the collar. Never use paints to seal the cuts. Plants have hormones that seal off cuts and heal just fine. Remember to have the right tools for the job and make sure they are sharp and always wear the right safety gear. Happy Gardening, Gardener Joe

Kitsap Regional Library officials are seeking feedback from area residents on whether or not to move forward with fund-raising efforts to build a new library facility. square feet, is owned by the regional library district. It was originally owned by Friends of the Silverdale Library, a non-profit group. But when Navy Base Kitsap/ Bangor was built, there were impact fees from the federal government that were made available to help with the additional use the library would have. Those funds, however, could only be
given to a public agency or government body. So the Friends group deeded the library to KRL for a dollar. Using those impact fees, the library was expanded to its current size. It was originally a 16 by 16 foot Navy surplus building. If a new building were to be built costs would be about $400 a square foot. That figure includes con-
struction costs, exterior and interior finishes, landscaping, furnishings, computers, and books. “Everything except the cost of employees,” he said. The conceptual new library would be about the size of the Sylvan Way branch, (excluding the administrative office space) or about 15,000 square feet. A capital campaign could
Page A9
raise $3 to $4 million but the total costs would be around $9 million. Additional funding could come from levies or other sources such as grants. While some say libraries are becoming obsolete, Brody doesn’t think so. “It’s true that with technology, we may not need large spaces for books,” he said. “We’re seeing more use of e-books. And reference material in the future won’t be collections of encyclopedias, but instead they will be available through online subscriptions. But libraries are places to gather-community centers. They are the one place you can go without having to buy a membership, to meet with friends, or to collaborate and not have to pay for it.” Additionally, he said, libraries offer trained staff to help with research, children’s programs, literacy programs, opportunities to learn about careers and job searches, and a place for education to continue in the summer months for kids and forever for adults. “Libraries are evolving,” he said. “I don’t yet think we are dinosaurs.”

State parks’ funding salvation may be hidden under litter tax By Zoey Palmer WNPA Olympia News Bureau
Officials at Washington State Parks are observing the system’s 100th birthday this year, but some have warned that, after more than a decade of budget cuts, the state’s 138 parks are in danger of serious operations reductions if the system’s funding problems aren’t solved. According to parks officials, the costs of a large budget shortfall could include staff layoffs, visitor services cuts, less reliable law enforcement and maintenance delays. The first in a series of bills by Sen. Kirk Pearson (R-39th District, Monroe) intended to address the enormous shortfall in parks funding, SB 5575, would use money raised by an existing litter tax to fund parks maintenance, and redirect some grant money used for acquiring
and developing new land to instead be used for renovating current parks. State funding for parks has decreased since 2003 from $60 million to $13 million in 2011, Pearson said last week at a public hearing before the Senate Natural Resources and Parks Committee. In addition the Discover Pass, a $30 annual or $10 daily permit to allow most vehicles onto state park lands, has brought in half as much money as expected when the program began in 2011 as an attempt to make up for the loss of state funding, he said. The Discover Pass program was projected to bring in $67 million between 2011 and 2013. As of June 2012, it had earned about $15.7 million. If passed, the bipartisan bill’s changes would expire in June 2017. Pearson said he expects
Discover Pass sales to have grown by then. Of the bill’s 11 sponsors, two are Democrats: Sens. Tim Sheldon (D-35th District, Potlach) and Rodney Tom (D-48th District, Medina). The state litter-tax is applied to businesses that manufacture and sell products that are likely to end up as litter, such as packaged food, soft-drink bottles and cans, beer, wine and tobacco products. Half of the money raised by the 1971 tax is currently used for state litter-control programs, the rest for state and local recycling and waste-reduction programs. The tax, according to Pearson, is expected to bring in $20 million between now and 2015. The money, under his bill, would instead go toward running and renovating parks. Although many at her organization appreciate the need for more parks

funding, Alia Griffing of the Washington Federation of State Employees said the littertax change would be “robbing Peter to pay Paul.” Using money from the litter-tax to fund state parks would undermine the purpose of the tax, said Suellen Mele of Zero Waste Washington, a non-profit corporation that advocates for the use of recyclable products. The impact on recycling programs could result in more dangerous waste going into landfills, stated Mele. Litter tax revenue also goes toward many important programs besides recycling, she noted, including technical assistance for businesses and youth jobs. “The waste of resources has sizable impacts on the environment, on human health and the economy,” said Mele. The redirection of litter-tax funds would also cause a dramatic increase in roadside litter, Rico Baroga of the Washington State Department of Transportation told legislators. State litter-
pickup programs such as those at Department of Ecology using youth and Department of Corrections using prisoners account for two-thirds of all highway litter collection, he added. In order to sustain current levels of highway cleanliness, observed Baroga, WSDOT would have to use money that would otherwise go to constructing and maintaining roads to pick up the slack. The second major change the bill would make is to mandate that all state-parks funding raised by the Washintgton Wildlife Recreation Program (WWRP) go to renovation and repair of park facilities. WWRP provides grants of up to $1 million for projects that benefit a wide range of natural-resource-related areas, one of which is state parks. Currently, WWRP park funding can be used for acquisition of new park land as well as developing current land. Several groups came to the hearing to testify specifically against the

WWRP funding changes, arguing that the bill would prevent important improvements to state parks that would bring more people and, in turn, create more revenue for parks. The Olallie Trail project near North Bend, noted Glenn Glover of the Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance, is an example of a project that would be harmed by restricting development of park lands. “This trail would be an incredible asset,” he said. “That leads to additional Discover Pass sales, and additional support to the community.” Beacon Rock Climbing Association member Adam Baylor predicted the bill would halt a current $250,000 proposed grant for Beacon Rock State Park east of Vancouver, Wash., a project that has already given a return on investment since it began in 2005. “Wedding parties, school groups, fishermen, hikers and rock climbers have gathered there for events,” he said. Expanding the area to accommodate larger events, Baylor suggested, would increase Discover Pass sales. Nature Conservancy representative Bi l l Robinson indicated that the long list of people who came to the hearing to oppose the bill shows that there is a lot of general interest in state parks. Most of those against the bill mentioned that they’re in favor of funding state parks, but that this bill is not the right way to go about it. Other groups testifying in opposition to the bill included Back Country Horsemen of Washington, the League of Women Voters, the Northwest Grocery Association, the Thurston County Health Department, the Washington Association of Neighborhood Stores, the Washington Food Industry Association, the Washington State Department of Ecology and the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Commission.

Introducing an ‘old friend’ Several years ago, my wife and I had an opportunity to meet a man that we had enjoyed watching on television back in the late sixties and early seventies. He and his wife were attending a weekend event in Olympia, and because we sat next to them at several meals, it allowed us to get acquainted.
Unfortunately, I never followed up on that contact until just a few weeks ago, when I had the privilege of re-establishing that acquaintance. The reason I share this experience is that this “new friend” is someone that I want to introduce to the people of Kitsap County. My new friend’s name is Graham Kerr, better known
as “The Galloping Gourmet,” and he and his wife, Treena, will be coming to Bremerton in April to speak at the Kitsap Conference Center on the subject of “Eating Healthy and Living Longer”. Recently I spent over an hour chatting with Graham and his wife, and was pleasantly surprised to learn of a significant and fundamental

change in their approach to eating and nutrition. During our conversation I learned that one very good and sustaining reason for this change was that Treena, who at age 54, suffered a stroke followed by a heart attack several years ago. This incident not only got their attention, but brought the Kerrs to the realization that their lifestyle choices had driven them onto the rocks! And as Graham said, “I now had to be truly creative. I needed to please her, yet do her no harm.” Up to this time, the Kerrs had gained a reputation for indulgent … unhealthy eating. In fact, Graham was awarded the Broken Wooden Spoon Award with the citation from Weight Watchers International as “Global Public Enemy #1 for all those wishing to be healthy!” But now … with this “wake-up” call, Graham knew that something had to change. In Graham’s own words: “I used all the skills I had gathered from the life of an international gourmet with all the understanding I could find about good nutrition. I called the combination

Executive action was taken on a bill that would allow teens 16 and 17 to preregister to vote while applying for their driver’s licenses at the Department of Licensing (DOL). The legislation passed out of committee on a 6-5 vote. House Bill 1279, termed the Young Voter Registration Equality Act, would help engage high-school students and soon-to-be adults in the political process, said prime-sponsor Rep. Steve Bergquist (D-11th District, Renton). It would also increase accessibility to voter registration, he said. “It’s important to have
voter access opportunities,” said Bergquist. But Rep. Vincent Buys (R-42nd District, Lynden) claimed that the bill is not a matter of access since Washington provides online voter registration. During testimony on the bill last week Bergquist invited two of his former students to speak in support of the measure, one of whom was Monica Mendoza-Castrejon, now a freshman at the University of Washington. She spoke on behalf of The Washington Bus and OneAmerica, two organizations that strive to increase voter participation among youth and minority groups.

would likely inspire civic participation in high school students and increase voter turnout. “It would increase the chances of and likelihood of many more youth to vote in our next election cycle,” she said. Supporters of the bill said its passage is important to upholding democratic standards. Some concerns, however, were expressed. Buys noted that technical glitches could allow ballots to be sent to preregistered, non-eligible voters. Katie Blinn of the Secretary of State’s office noted that, while these types of problems can be addressed with advanced technology, a fair share of human input is needed to process the computer program, increasing the risk of non-eligible persons receiving ballots. With the need for more personnel or an increase in worker hours, she added, comes a higher price tag. Others are concerned about the mobility of 18-year-olds and the cost of sending voters’ pamphlets and ballots to persons who no longer live at the same residences when they regisSee registration, A15

Bremerton man charged for vicious assault that left two nearly dead By KEVAN MOORE kmoore@soundpublishing.com
Bremerton resident Christopher C. McInerney, 31, has been charged in Kitsap County District Court with first- and second-degree assault, charges that could lead to life in prison if he is convicted. Police allege that McInerney beat a man and a woman within inches of their lives Jan. 3. The attack took place in the Milan Apartments in the 1100 block of Burwell Street and left the man with skull fractures and brain bleeds and the woman with brain bleeds. Detectives weren’t sure that either victim would survive. The man’s condi-

The project is primarily funded from a $3 million federal transportation grant. A 13.5 percent match is required, amounting to $468,208. The matching money will come from the city’s water and sewer funds, ancillary to utility replacement work which will be incorporated into the project. Design expenses to date total

The woman has since been released to Life Care Center in Port Orchard. Although struggling to recover, and unable to remember the entire incident, she identified McInerney as the man that attacked her and the other victim. When police first responded to the apartment blood was splattered about the residence and broken glass, including the neck of a wine bottle, was also strewn about the home. The man and woman were both bleeding profusely from their heads. While canvassing the apartment, detectives were given
McInerney’s name as a possible suspect. As the investigation unfolded, McInerney was arrested the following day in an unrelated incident for possession of methamphetamine. According to a probable cause statement, McInerney eventually admitted to being in the apartment on the day of the assaults but denied beating the victims. “Through further investigation, detectives interviewed associates of McInerney’s who said he displayed odd behavior the day of the assaults to include concern whether there was any stains on his coat or shoes and washing his clothes at (1 a.m.) in a bucket in an alley,” the probable cause statement reads.

of the current design that could be changed to save costs. For example, replacing brick pavers with stamped, dyed concrete, using less expensive illumination, and using less pervious pavement and/or concrete (in lieu of conventional paving/concrete).

“It’s a very important date in his life,” she said. “We’re very proud of the legacy he is leaving and he has served us well.” Mayor Lent pointed out that Rogers created a coin with the phrase “Pride” on it. Coins were handed out at the retirement celebration. “It stands for professionalism, respect, integrity, dedication and excellence,” she said. “These are the things he instilled during his time on the force, not just in his years as chief, but throughout his career.” Working with other professionals had made the years great, Rogers said. “Everyone from the Kitsap County Sheriffs, to the police departments in the area, to the mayors and the city councils, to our own officers and support personnel, they have all made this job great,” he said. “Our law enforcement partners through-

plans now that he is retiring. Showing his sense of humor, he answered. “People ask ‘What are you going to do?’ he said. “I’m gonna do whatever I want to do. I’m handing over the worries to others.’ But, he said, “I do, and I always will, worry about my officers.” He termed his future as a chapter of “reinvention.” “I want to grow as a person, spend time with my family and enrich my body, mind and soul,” he said. “I look back and wonder where all the time has gone. And I see my wife with tears in her eyes, and I’m not sure if those are tears of happiness, or tears of terror that I’ll be home all the time. Stay tuned and I’ll let you know.” At the retirement ceremony, Rogers was honored by his own department, Mayor Lent, former Mayor Cary Bozeman, Kitsap County Sheriff Steve Boyer, and representatives of the FBI and NCIS.

out Kitsap County have just been wonderful.” For Rogers, police work has been an opportunity to serve and be an advocate for victims “who can no longer fight for themselves.” He complimented all the officers he had worked with and who worked under him. “Our shield and our patch are tangible items designed to institute pride,” he said. “But who we are is defined by the people who wear the shield. All of our accomplishments happened because we were a team.” Rogers also thanked his family, especially his wife, Cathy. “From the very day I put on the shield, she never complained,” he said. “She supported me, through varying shifts, lousy days off, injuries and even death threats. She realized just as I do that being a police officer is not a job. It’s a calling.” Rogers said he’s often been asked about his

Sarah Smiley him elsewhere and together as a family, we decided that the boys and I will stay behind. We will maintain an apartment in one city, a house in the other and commute on weekends. Some readers questioned our decision: “Why would anyone with young children voluntarily live apart from them? That’s a great way to end up divorced.” Others reported feeling empowered by our choices. “Good for you for finding a way to follow both of your dreams. Real love doesn’t know time or distance.” These conflicting reactions reinforce my original message: my peer group is a transitional generation, sandwiched between our parents, many of whom wouldn’t have considered anything except keeping the family together, and a new crop of young adults who think following a husband is horribly outdated. Last week, I made the point that the military, by way of its inability to keep up with cultural fluctuations, creates situations where couples have to compromise and live creatively. But the bottom line is that the compromise my husband and I have made is more a symptom of changing familial roles than it is a reflection of the military’s long history of frequent moves. If what’s considered a “woman’s role” and what’s considered a “man’s role” hadn’t changed, the military’s move-every-twoyears system would not be a problem. Which means that other
civilian marriages are going through their own evolution, too. Who comes home to make dinner? Who takes off work when the kids are sick? Perhaps even civilian couples have faced the possibility of living temporarily in separate cities for the sake of a career. These are new dilemmas in some respects but not in others. The idea of couples being separated by distance, for instance, is nothing new. Dustin’s grandmother didn’t see her husband for many years during World War II. But the notion that fathers have to be intimately involved in their children’s day-to-day lives is. Remember the 1950s dad who came home from work, patted his kids on the head and then settled into his chair with the newspaper? In our own situation, Dustin and I have taken all that we know about relationships and distance, changing gender roles and expectations, and we’ve tried to fashion something new and meaningful for our family until we can all be under the same roof again. Here are some of my favorite findings so far. There are many different ways to be absent. I can’t stress this enough. Having a spouse physically present is nice, but having a spouse emotionally pres-
“Love and commitment doesn’t stop when he walks out the door.” – Sarah Smiley ent is even better. There are plenty of couples who coexist. We’ve all seen them. Maybe we’ve even been that couple at times, but we usually don’t want to be. Yet, if we place “physical togetherness” as the ultimate goal, “co-existing” can sometimes be a very real and unfulfilling outcome. The same applies to parents. Being physically
present does not necessarily guarantee that a father is mentally and emotionally present as well. Being present — truly present — whether through the miles or not, takes commitment and effort. Quality time is more important than quantity of time. Considering last year’s deployment, by the time Dustin is done with his current tour of duty, we will have had very little time together. Already, however, we’ve had more quality time together than I can remember in years. Every weekend counts. Every meal counts. And we do not pass up the opportunity to be together. I mentioned this to a civilian friend, and she said, “I can’t remember the last time my husband and I focused on quality time together.” I know she isn’t alone. Love does not allow “Out of sight, out of mind.” When things get tough, Dustin reminds me, if the only thing holding our marriage together is being physically in each other’s presence, then we have bigger problems. He’s right. Love and commitment doesn’t stop when he walks out the door. If it did, being in the same house wouldn’t fix anything. Absence really build appreciation.

It’s easy to put things off. It’s even easier to forget what you have. But when you say goodbye to your husband every Sunday, you can’t help but wake up Monday morning thinking of all the things you miss about him. So you spend long hours on the phone together, just talking. And you realize, if he was on the opposite couch, you probably would have watched television together in silence instead. Then flowers appear on the doorstep. The card reads, “I miss you and can’t wait to see you this weekend.” And all of the sudden, you feel like you are falling in love with your husband all over again.

Registration State legislature may allow 16-, 17-year-olds to register to vote CONTINUED FROM A12
tered at ages 16 or 17. While 16- and 17-yearolds are among the most stable in terms of moving trends, 18-to 24-yearolds are the most mobile. Bergquist stated, however, that a majority of his 12thgrade students are at least 18 during an election cycle and, therefore, eligible to vote. There are also questions about whether preregistration would actually increase voter turnout among young adults. During the national election that took place this past November, 49 percent of youth (ages 18 to 29) voted country-wide. In Washington, about 80 percent of registered youth turned out. In a 2010 analysis provided by a George Mason University (GMU) professor and a GMU Ph.D. candidate, teen preregistration would lead to an increase in youth voting because candidates would target young adults more heavily due to the increased number of youth who register compared to the total number of registered voters across all age groups. Arguments opposing the bill irritated Rep. Reuven Carlyle (D-36th District, Seattle). “It’s incredibly hard for me to feel anything other than a sense of frustration that we are seemingly afraid of a wave of young people charging into our electoral system,” he said. Blinn maintained that the Secretary of State’s office is concerned about increased costs this bill could bring. She urged that, if the bill passes, lawmakers also provide appropriate funding for the program. There would be no cost to the internal functioning of the Secretary of State’s office or DOL, but counties may have to modify their voter registration management system for preregistered teens, which could accrue additional costs. Eight other states and the District of Columbia have similar laws that provide those at least 16 years of age to preregister to vote.

if there isn’t a market for products made from recycled materials.” You can help close the loop by checking tags and making sure you buy products made from recycled items, she said. Campbell and Meintz said the young artists and their peers will likely be more environmentally conscious than preceding generations because recycling and reusing are so prevalent today. Some schools even have gardens which are fed by organic waste. “When I go to classroom presentations, I tell them, ‘When I was in your grade level, we didn’t have these opportunities,” Meintz said. “They are familiar with recycling, they live with it, it’s part of their lives.” Kitsap County provides many ways to find new uses for most disposable item.

From BoobTube to YouTube on a brighter note By LORI WELBOURNE walked by it. Jeremie and I would hold our breath and look at each other nervously, praying he wouldn’t notice its warmth. He never did. Years later we found out that he knew exactly what we were up to, he just didn’t mind. I now have that same attitude about the television with my own kids, and I allow them to watch it. Within reason. Sam and Daisy are like my brother and I were. If they had their choice, they’d start their day with the TV on and that thing wouldn’t be turned off until they fell asleep in front of it, well past midnight. “We cancelled cable the day we became parents,” an acquaintance told me last week. “Children who grow up ‘watchers’ do not become ‘doers’.” I wonder if there are statistics to prove that. Probably. There are studies and statistics that can prove just about anything. All I know is that I don’t believe the TV will render us useless. I was obsessed with it as a kid, but I’ve seen very little of it as an adult since I’m always too busy doing something else. Yet, despite my lack of tube time, my fascination with pop culture persists. I can thank the Internet for that. Surfing the web makes it easy to keep up with what’s going on in TV land without having to actually watch it. If I want to find out who

atching television was an extremely restricted activity in my house growing up, and for that reason, I couldn’t get enough of it. My little brother and I weren’t allowed to watch it all the time like our luckyduck friends were. And, as a double whammy on the meter of unfairness in our lives, our mom and dad were much younger than the parents of our pals, yet they were stricter than all of them. In grade five, I started babysitting my 7-year-old brother in the afternoons when our folks were still at work. Our mom instructed us to do homework after school, and once we finished we could read a book or play a board game. Under no circumstances were we to turn on the “boob tube” that would rot our brains. But reruns of groovy shows like “The Brady Bunch” and “Bewitched” were on at that time, so there was no possible way we could adhere to such an unreasonable rule when left alone like that. With 12 glorious channels to choose from, there was always something exciting to see on our old black and white, and every day we’d watch it for as long as we could. An hour or so later, when we heard a car pull into the driveway, we’d quickly run up to the telly, turn the knob to the dreaded “off” position, run back to the couch and crack open our books before our mom or dad even opened the front door. If our father was the first to arrive home he would sometimes touch the top of the TV as he

Andrews’ roots run deep in Horse Heaven Hills B
ack in the 1940s, Mike Andrews’ grandfather began a farm in the desolate region south of the Yakima Valley and was responsible for clearing sagebrush from more than 100,000 acres for other farmers. Today, Andrews grows more than 1,100 acres of vineyards. He began planting Coyote Canyon Vineyard in 1994 after spending years growing other crops and running a cattle business. Through the years, he has continued to expand his
NW Wines By ANDY PERDUE and eric degerman
vineyard, adding 700 acres in a three-year spurt from 2006 to 2009. In 2006, Andrews decided to move into the winemaking business and purchased Yakima Cellars, a winery in downtown Yakima. The location did not end up working well for the winery, so in 2008, he moved to the Winemakers Loft in Prosser.
“Downtown Yakima wasn’t the best location,” he said. “But being along the highway in Prosser has been great.” Coyote Canyon Winery has quickly gained a reputation for producing some of Washington’s finest wines, winning accolades and medals for nearly every wine it releases. The winery has three tiers of wines. The Downtown Red and White are the only holdovers from Yakima Cellars and are Coyote Canyon’s least-expensive offerings. The Coyote Canyon label
includes the winery’s standard wines, and the H/H Estates is the reserve line. The H/H name goes back to Andrews’ time in cattle ranching, when that was the name of his operation. Under the H/H label, Andrews has wines named for his grandfather (GW Smith Malbec), his father (Robert Andrews Mourvedre) and himself (Michael Andrews Red). He also has a Cabernet Sauvignon called Big John that was named for a guy who bought one of his bulls in Reno, Nev. Bozak
Washington’s Horse Heaven Hills is one of the prime grapegrowing regions in the state. Andy Perdue / Great Northwest Wine Red, his Bordeaux-style blend, is named for a 2,600-pound bull he once owned. “Our Bordeaux blend is our biggest, stoutest wine,” he said. Though Andrews grows 26 varieties at Coyote Canyon, nearly half of his acreage is dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon, the No. 1 red wine grape in Washington. “Cabernet is king,” he said. He sells about 95 percent of his grapes to Ste. Michelle Wine Estates. Most of the rest goes to 18 other wineries, and he holds back just 1 percent for his own 4,800 cases.

You’ll love savory, spicy Tortilla Black Bean Soup GLUTEN free W foodies arm me up and make it spicy just the way I like it. I love Tortilla Soup and this is the perfect soup to warm you up when the weather outside is misbehaving. Rain or snow, Pacific Foods Organic Soup Starters are the perfect way to get your soup off to a tasty easy start. I call it slow cooking, at medium speed, without the can ... in 2 hours! It was really was easy to make this soup with just a few fresh ingredients and dried spices that I already
NW Wines
Continued from page 4 Winery 2011 Roussanne, Horse Heaven Hills, $22: Roussanne is a white Rhône variety that is catching on with Washington winemakers. This is a delicious example with aromas of fresh-cut Honeycrisp apple, apricot and dried pineapple. On the palate, it reveals flavors of canned pear and fresh-cut pineapple with lemon custard in the finish. n Coyote Canyon Winery 2011 Sweet Louise, Horse Heaven Hills, $22: This dessert wine is a blend of Viognier and Riesling from estate grapes. It opens with aromas of crème brûlée, lavender, jasmine and orange oil. On the palate, it’s a delicious sipper at 13 percent residual sugar that offers flavors of sweet lemon, quince paste, caramel and poached apricot. n H/H Estates 2010 Michael Andrews Reserve Red, Horse Heaven Hills, $35: This premium blend of Tempranillo and Graciano is named after owner Mike Andrews and is a Spanish-style blend using estate grapes. It offers aromas of blueberry juice, crushed leaf, sarsaparilla and clove. On the palate, it offers big flavors of pomegranate, blueberry and red currant. It’s a big wine that will pair with grilled meats, rich stews, braised lamb or empanadas. This wine has not yet been released. — Andy Perdue and Eric Degerman run Great Northwest Wine, a news and information website. Go to www.greatnorthwestwine.com.
By lisa garza had at home. Let me just remind you that I am from Texas and I like a kick in most things that I eat, especially if I want my food to warm me up. So please adjust your pepper spices accordingly to your taste. I usually soak black beans or some sort of beans at least once a week. After a sunny but cold, brisk walk, I came home with an appetite for something flavorful and warm. I was hungry and chilled and looked in my GF pantry — Tortilla Black Bean Soup! It just so happens I soaked some black beans overnight. After a quick rinse, I placed the beans in my 5-quart Le Creuset. I pre-heated the oven to 350 degrees. The Pacific Foods Organic Tortilla Soup base is made with tomato, green peppers, onion, chili powder, garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, coriander and a hint of lime. Add all of the ingredients to the pot, cover with a lid and let it cook for 2 hours.
Savory and Spicy Tortilla Black Bean Soup.
Lisa Garza / Gluten Free Foodies
Ingredients 1 carton Pacific Foods Organic Soup Starters Tortilla Soup Base I added the following ingredients: 1 cup chopped yellow onion 2 Tbs Olive Oil 1 tsp Oregano or Italian
Seasoning, dried 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 tsp smoked sea salt fresh ground black pepper 2-3 pinches Red Pepper flakes 1 dried Aji Limo Pepper 1/4 tsp Aji Amarillo, dried
1 1/2 cups Organic frozen corn — add at the end Instructions Carefully take the pot out of the oven. There will be steam when you remove the lid, so please stand back. Add the frozen corn and stir it into the soup. Let it sit approximately 10 minutes while the corn heats up in the soup. This will help keep the corn flavorful and crunchy by not over cooking it. The organic corn gives the soup the perfect sweetness to counter the spicy peppers. The texture is nice with the black beans which make it a little heartier. YUM! Serve in your favorite deep soup bowl with a dish underneath to hold your additional tortilla chips and top with your favorite toppings: avocado slices or guacamole green onions jalapeños cilantro, chopped roasted chicken, shredded or chopped — optional pepper jack shredded cheese — optional Pacific Foods sent me some of their Organic Soup Starters to try. I am so glad they did. The also
make Beef Pho, Chicken Pho, Vegetarian Pho and Tom Yum. The soup bases are approximately $3.49-$3.69 for a 32 fl. oz. carton. Look for the QR code on the carton for recipes or make your own. I opted for the soup without cheese and meat. It is so satisfying, you just may not have leftovers to share the next day. I highly recommend stashing a serving in a tightly sealed, inconspicuous spot in the back of the fridge. One blissful thought — just knowing that you have a soup waiting for you the next day, so you can curl up in front of the fireplace with a blanket and a good book. As I always say, letting it meld makes it that much more magnifico. Salud! — Lisa Garza’s Gluten Free Foodies is a popular blog on Sound Publishing Co. websites.

People helping pets...pets helping people. Buster is a 3yr old shorthaired tuxedo who came to us as a stray. He was probably out on his daily walk down his owner’s road when he was “rescued” by a person driving by on her way to town. She took him to the vets to check for a microchip. No luck. He is very friendly and loves to be with people. Buster is very laid back. I have seen him get a bit fiesty with people who have been a bit vigorous with their petting when they’ve met him.

Give those sore soles some relief Yoga & you S
ubject: Sore soles of feet. Practice: Kneel down on all fours. Reach behind and gently press the middle of your calf with your thumb. Find the sore spot about six to eight inches above the heel. Press firmly for about 30 seconds. Get up and walk around. Repeat on other side if needed. Theory: A sore is often caused by a tight soleus muscle in the calf pulling on the pad of the foot. Releasing this muscle by pressing this energy point provides relief.
By Michael Szymanski, NASM, CES
Comment: Don’t press hard at first but as the sore spot releases increase thumb pressure slightly until that soreness disappears. Note: Muscle or joint pain below the waist are often the result of nerve compression in the low back. Although this particular practice does not deal with that, it can offer some

Bremerton Patriot
Group that preserved lake area wins award: The grassroots group Keep Gazzam Wild is the 2012 winner of the Phyllis Young Award, presented annually by the Bainbridge Island Land Trust. The group was founded in 2007 after a road was proposed through the Gazzam Lake area, ultimately paving the way for new development. Neighbors — approximately 27 homeowners around Gazzam Lake — came together to fight off the new development. They initially formed “Save Gazzam Lake,” which became “Keep Gazzam Wild.” They partnered with the local Parks and Recreation District to raise $800,000 to purchase the parcels around Gazzam Lake, then partnered with the land trust to raise even more money. More than 300 households contributed to the effort, and the lake properties were purchased by the parks district last year as the Gazzam Lake preserve. — BainbridgeReview.com
Sales tax increase would fund mental health services: Kitsap County commissioners haven’t fully embraced a sales tax increase for mental health services, but they aren’t running away from it. “I think there was consensus to continue to explore the possibility,” Commissioner Rob Gelder said. “Beyond that, there haven’t been any decisions made.” Under state law, counties can implement a onetenth of 1 percent sales tax increase to support mental health services. So far, 20 counties have implemented such a tax and all of them, with the exception of Spokane County, which put it out to a public vote, were put into place by county boards. Following a study session last week, the board directed staff members to come up with a timeline that would allow commissioners and the public to further study the issues involved with such a tax hike. Supporters of the tax
say it would raise about $3 million a year. Grants would be made to agencies that provide mental health and addiction prevention and treatment services. Evaluations would be performed every year to make sure that the grantees had a positive impact on mental health. — BremertonPatriot.com
Central Kitsap Reporter Silverdale residents say “no” to cityhood: Silverdale residents voted 70 to 30 to reject a measure to incorporate their community as a city, Feb. 12. As of close of polls Election Day, 2,718 voted against incorporation, 1,173 voted for it. “Nobody wants this,” said Joyce Merkel, who led the campaign against the measure. “This is the fourth time they’ve tried this and at $35,000 a pop it’s a big waste of taxpayers’ money.” Incorporation opponent Edward Bird added, “People didn’t want more taxes. And no matter what anybody says, it would be inevitable. Becoming a city would cost us more.” Cityhood supporters said incorporation would give residents local control over
tax revenue generated in Silverdale, as well as more say in planning, public safety and other local matters. — CentralKitsapReporter. com
North Kitsap Herald Norseman statue gets a romantic touch: Adelaide Krafsky, 8, of Lofall had an idea to decorate the 12-foot Norseman statue in Poulsbo for Valentine’s Day, and wrote the mayor seeking permission to do so. Mayor Becky Erickson granted permission, and so Adelaide and her parents set out to give the Norseman a Valentine’s Day touch. The family bought red and pink plastic heart boxes at the Dollar Tree, glued the lids onto the boxes, drilled holes in each heart and strung them together. Adelaide’s dad, David, climbed a ladder and tied the necklace around the Norseman’s neck. Adelaide is a homeschooler who participates in Leikarringen — Norwegian folk dancing — at the Poulsbo Sons of Norway. Her mom said the family does not have Norwegian ancestry, “but we love Poulsbo and we love the Norwegian heritage of the city.”
The Norseman statue sports a Valentine’s Day necklace of pink and red hearts. Richard Walker / Herald
The Norseman, a sculpture by artist Mark Gale, was unveiled Nov. 23. The project was organized by Poulsbo booster Bill Austin and was funded by the Bjorgen Beautification Fund. At the time of the unveiling, Erickson said the Norseman is a symbol of the revitalization that is creeping along Viking Avenue. — NorthKitsapHerald.com
Port Orchard Independent Port commissioner charged with non-permitted shoreline armoring: Manchester Port Commissioner James E. Strode is
charged with being involved in non-permitted shoreline armoring. Strode is due in Kitsap County District Court on March 1, 8:30 a.m. Charging documents were filed by the Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Office. The penalty is a year in jail or $5,000, or both. According to charging documents, state Fish and Wildlife officer Jason Czebotar investigated after receiving a complaint from a Manchester resident. The resident alleged that the Port of Manchester repositioned, staked and anchored logs and other wood material on the shoreline. The resident said Strode was present while the logs were moved. The resident included photographs of a backhoe lifting and placing logs along the shore. Documents said one photograph shows two individuals chaining a log in place on the beach. According to the investigation report, the Port received a warning letter from Fish and Wildlife on Feb. 3, 2012 after the Port allowed the Manchester Water District to conduct shore armoring at Pomeroy Park without a permit. — PortOrchardIndependent.com
