Kingston Adventures told to vacate port Business owner claims unfair treatment

By KIPP ROBERTSON

EDITOR

KINGSTON — Contention over how Kingston Adventures operates at the Port of Kingston

resulted with a notice for the business to vacate.

The Port of Kingston issued Kingston Adventures a 30-day notice to vacate its eight kayak storage racks “due to ongoing violations of [its] kayak storage agreement and [Kingston Adventures’] refusal to enter into

a commercial agreement governing its commercial use of the Port’s public facilities.”

Kingston Adventures has refused to sign a commercial use agreement with the port, according to a letter from Port Manager David Malone. The port requires an agreement from all commer-

cial tenants, which is adjusted based on a tenant’s business. A use agreement requires tenants using the port’s facilities for commercial gain to provide insurance coverage, hold the port harmless of any injury or damage done on port property, and comply with rules and regulations.

Kingston Adventures owner Beth Brewster said the dispute is about more than paperwork.

“The port is evicting the last [female-owned] business on port property,” she said. “There is no other way to look at it … That is the truth.”

Should Drum project builds cultural ties Oak Table Kingston leaving become a Kingston city?

Cafe moving to Silverdale in 2015

By RICHARD D. OXLEY

Staff Writer

KINGSTON — A regional economic development official believes Kingston has more potential than Silverdale to incorporate as a city.

As a city, Kingston would have more direct control over local economic development.

“I predicted that Kingston will incorporate, whenever that is, before Silverdale does, because Kingston is an organic community. Silverdale isn’t,” Ed Stern said after a May 8 luncheon hosted by the Greater Kingston Economic Development Committee at the Kingston Cove Yacht Club. “[Silverdale] was pasted together. People don’t necessarily identify with the community [in Silverdale], rather, it’s an area they live in. Kingston has been there See City, Page 3

INGSTON — There was less sheet music and more deerskin in one of the latest projects at Wolfle Elementary School.

With custom drums in hand, fifth-graders performed in time

with Port Gamble S’Klallam member Joe Price and Wolfle music instructor Michael McCurdy May 20 in the school’s music room. The traditional drums are part of McCurdy’s effort to help his students understand the culture of their S’Klallam neighbors, and learn music in a less school-

“I want to celebrate the culture of the kids who go to school here,” McCurdy said.

Fifty-five of the schools 341 students — or 16 percent — were listed as Native American in See Drum, Page 10

KINGSTON — The Oak Table Cafe will move from Kingston to Silverdale next year.

Owners Ross and Nikki McCurdy said they are sad to be leaving Kingston, but they are excited about the new opportunities Silverdale will bring.

The location in Kingston, adjacent to the Firehouse Theater, will be for lease in spring 2015, and the Oak Table will be open for business until then.

“We are grateful for the opportunities that have come about from being here,” Nikki McCurdy said. “Hopefully, Silverdale has as good of taste as Kingston does.”

The McCurdys said they have always dreamed of owning their own property and building a restaurant from scratch. Two years ago, they began looking, and last year they bought and committed to the property. Since they live in See Oak Table, Page 2

Oak Table

Continued from page 1 Poulsbo, a Silverdale location was in the best proximity for having two restaurants. The owners intended to keep the restaurant in Kingston as well, but it ended up being fiscally impossible.

“We’re sad to be leaving Kingston,” Ross McCurdy said. “We’ve been part of the community for five years now.”

The Oak Table has given over 3,000 meals away since

opening May 6, 2009. The McCurdys are passionate about supporting schools and children in the community, and they frequently donate to school auctions, they said.

The Oak Table is also the location for a Guinness World Record. On Aug. 13, 2013, Ross McCurdy set the record for most pancakes made in one hour by cooking 1,092. Those pancakes were free for people who attended the record-breaking event.

Craig Smith said. “They’re a hard-working young couple and they deserve the best.

I had a great relationship with them, and they’ll be missed.”

The Oak Table Cafe in Sequim is owned by Nikki McCurdy’s parents, Mary and Bill Nagler. It opened in 1981 and was a family business from the beginning.

The McCurdys hope to follow the Naglers’ example of owning their own property and building their own restaurant. “The Oak Table really is a part of my family,” Nikki McCurdy said.

All the employees from the Kingston location will have the opportunity be transferred to Silverdale, although there is no contract requiring them to. Of the Oak Table’s 25 employees, fewer than half of them live in Kingston. For many who live in Poulsbo, Silverdale and the surrounding area, the transition will not be difficult.

“We’re a family, and we want to stay together,” Nikki McCurdy said.

The menus, dishes and look will be the same as well. The new location has no definite address yet, but the plot is on Mount Vintage Way, near Target.

There is no district policy against a school board member serving in the state Legislature, according to NKSD Superintendent Patty Scott Henden, Rep. Sherry Page. However, she said NKSB member Appleton she is unsure of the “feasibility” of doing both jobs. said. “We work 105 days That opinion is echoed straight, 24 hours a day —

tions. Tim Sheldon, a state senator from the 35th District, is also a Mason County commissioner.

Henden, a Republican, filed as a candidate for state representative because he believes he has something to offer.

“I think our state is not serving its citizens well,” Henden said. “I’d like to think I have something to offer people that’s not being offered … We can do better.”

Henden, owner of

Henden Electric and a long-time Kingston resident, filed to run against Appleton, a Democrat, on May 14. He was elected to the North Kitsap School Board in 2011.

Henden thought about filing as a candidate for state representative for about six months. He and Appleton have “some nice contrasts, Henden said.”

For one, Henden opposes establishing a state income tax.

advantages, but it can also be a “double-edged sword.”

“You don’t have a lot of resources and services that an incorporated community has,” he said. “The other edge is that if you want to do something, you get involved and do it yourself.

And I think that plays to the strengths of Kingston. A lot of people volunteer their time and get things done in Kingston.”

Stern’s nod toward incorporation came in tandem with his main point — that Kingston should be careful what it wishes for.

“You don’t want to bring something into the community that the community doesn’t really want, but a few do who are convinced that economic development is the goal,” he said.

In other words, wanting to become economically vital is a good goal, but it must be done with all interests involved. One method of inclusion is incorporation.

“Incorporation is a feedback loop and that can be very important,” Stern said.

“Obviously, if you are incor-

porated you are [acting on the] votes of your citizens, instead of advisory committees.”

Kingston had 2,099 residents in the 2010 Census, with 1,040 housing units.

The median age is 47.7; the median household income is $44,375, according to the Census.

Public services are provided by Kitsap County; law enforcement is provided by the county sheriff’s office.

Closer to home, fire protection is provided by North

District.

The topic didn’t take off in conversation much further than Stern’s speech.

“He brought [incorporation] up two or three different ways,” said Jerry Kirschner of the Greater Kingston Economic Development Committee.

“No one in the audience commented on it significantly.”

He added, “I think [incorporation] will probably continue to come up.”

Kirschner commented that being an unincorporated Kingston can have

Henden said he’s seen work by local businesses delayed because of state regulations.

Permitting and inspecting, for example, can be slowgoing, especially with cutbacks to state employment.

Henden would like education funded first, he said.

Funding education may require debate, “but at least get it off the plate first,” he said.

He doesn’t agree with Gov. Jay Inslee’s suspension of the death penalty.

“I think the right outcome is that we need capital punishment as a final thing,” he said.

OPINION Letters

Editorial

Contribute to election season dialogue I

t’s election season, and what an election season it will be: 55 candidates filed to run for 28 offices countywide. Only sheriff candidate Gary Simpson, treasurer candidate Meredith Green, public utility commission candidate Jim Civilla, and some judge candidates are running unopposed.

The primary election is Aug. 5; the general election is Nov. 4.

We welcome letters to the editor about candidates and the issues. To ensure there is a place on our Opinion pages for as many voices as possible, here’s a reminder of our policy on election-related letters to the editor.

1. The word limit for letters to the editor is 350 words.

If your letter exceeds the word limit, we may edit it or return it to you so you can edit it.

2. Letter writers are limited to one letter a month. This helps ensure that there is room for as many voices as possible.

3. Letters must include name, address and telephone number for verification purposes.

4. Letters we will not publish: Letters from candidates, their families and campaign managers; form letters; and letters that are submitted anonymously. (Candidates, take note: On our news pages, we will cover your campaigns and let readers know about upcoming candidate forums and campaign appearances.)

The purpose of our Opinion pages is to foster conversation and reflective thought. We ask writers to be respectful, refrain from personal attacks, and stay focused on issues.

Many times, a letter will prompt a response from another reader. That’s great, but we sometimes have to remind writers that when they start a conversation by submitting a letter, they shouldn’t expect an opportunity to pen a response to everyone who disagrees with them. If we allowed response-to-response letters, our Opinion pages would be dominated by fewer voices repeating the same points and issues they had raised in previous editions, and there would be no room for other writers to share their viewpoints.

We realize it can be tough for some people to not get the last word in on a topic. They can continue their conversation on our website or Facebook page.

It’s a balancing act to make sure each edition reflects a diversity of opinions and viewpoints, and we understand that not every reader will appreciate the letters that are published. Thank you for participating in the great democratic tradition of opinion sharing and community discussion, and providing food for thought on the candidates and issues.

Park is designed; grant is next step On April 23, we, the undersigned commissioners of the Port of Kingston, approved the landscape architect’s design for a proposed park on the site of the old Kingston Inn. The design will be the centerpiece of the port’s application for a grant from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and is available on the port’s website at www.portofkingston. org.

At this milestone, it is appropriate for us — on behalf of the community as a whole — to express sincere thanks to the donors of the property and the Kitsap Community Foundation.

Our personal thanks, also, to the many members of the public who shared their thoughts and ideas at public meetings, filled out surveys and offered their comments and opinions of the draft designs via email and inperson visits with the port staff.

Finally, we also thank the port staff, both past and present, for their patience and hard work in getting the project to this point in the process.

Beginning with the cleanup of nine years of accumulated debris left after the 2005 fire that destroyed the Kingston Inn, the staff has worked hard, conducting public meetings, collecting and tracking all of the public’s comments, ideas and suggestions and then researching and distilling it all into a compelling grant application. There is no denying that the public debate on the design of the park became spirited at times, but no matter how spirited the debate became, there was always a sense of

everyone caring and wanting to do what is best for Kingston. For that, we are grateful to be part of the Kingston community.

If the port is awarded a WWRP grant, we would expect to begin construction of the park in the spring of 2015.

With the submission of the grant application, however, the port has achieved a significant step in a project that was initiated in early 2013 by the donation of this property by the anonymous donors through the Kingston Community Foundation. WWRP grants are very competitive; there is no guarantee of receiving a grant in the current grant cycle, but we will keep working for as long as it takes. We are committed to bringing the donors’ vision of a public open space to fruition on what is arguably the most visible face of Kingston.

Again, our thanks to the donors, KCF, port staff and the residents of Kingston for their respective contributions to this process.

Pete DeBoer, Walt Elliott Bruce MacIntyre Kingston Port Commission

Foster parents, thanks for all you do Foster parents dedicated to providing specialized therapeutic foster care homes as part of the Intensive Children’s Services therapeutic foster care program of Kitsap Mental Health Services were recently honored with a luncheon on May 9 at West Sound Technical Institute’s Three Seasons Restaurant.

These extraordinary and talented community members have been improving

the lives of foster youth with behavioral and emotional needs through KMHS Intensive Children’s Services foster care program. As foster parents, they have given years of service to help local foster youth stabilize their behaviors and their lives through their commitment to providing caring foster homes.

Our foster parents have been doing wonderful work with local foster youth and their dedication to the children in their care deserves more recognition than is possible in any one afternoon together. We know that many children in our schools and in our communities have had their lives redirected and restored through the dedication and care of our foster parents.

Thank you for all that you do!

January 18, 1948 May 9, 2014 John Leon Anderson Jr., age 66, died peacefully on May 9th, 2014.

Born on January 18th, 1948 in Salt Lake City, Utah to J. Leon and Helen Anderson, John was a passionate man who lived life to it’s fullest. At age 11, he built his first sailboat and continued to amaze everyone who knew him with his self taught talent of designing and building boats. In 1969 after returning from New Zealand where he served a 2 year mission for the LDS church, he married the love of his life, Patricia Elkins. His passion for sailing and boat building brought them to the beautiful Pacific Northwest where he became an accomplished yacht designer and where he and Patricia lived and raised their family for the last 42 years.

John could achieve anything he put his great mind to. Nothing could hold him back and he fulfilled most every one of his lifes dreams. He wanted to fly so he became a pilot and went on to build a number of his own planes. He wanted to sail the world so he became an expert sailor and built a number of sailboats including his other soul mate the “Windspirit”. Later in life, John developed a passion for scuba diving and would often travel to experience the wonders of the ocean.

Whether it was sailing, flying or scuba diving, he loved the feeling of the wind beneath his wings. He also had many other passions that he enjoyed some of which were astronomy, motorcycling, traveling, storytelling and music. His deep yearning for adventure and experiencing all the world has to offer and his example of striving to fulfill any and every dream has been shared with and passed onto his children and grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Patricia and his children, John J.(Joanna), Kes(Sara), Aimee(Kelly), Sunny(Brett), daughter-in-law Gina(Derek) and 12 grandchildren. He was preceded in death in 1996 by his eldest son, Christopher Paul.

A memorial service was held on May 20th, 2014 at 3:00 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, 2138 NE Mesford St, Poulsbo.

Climate change and its effect on water W

ith its oceans and glaciers, the Earth seems to be made of mostly water.

Water covers about 70 percent of the surface, but only 1 percent of that is available for our use.

We share this 1 percent with every other human in the world. This amount remains constant, but our exponentially growing population continues to increase demand.

Whether one agrees with the validity of climate change or not, many believe it’s a more crucial threat to our water supply than even a rapidly growing population.

How does climate change affect our seemingly neverending water supply here in the Pacific Northwest?

Here’s a very general look at the situation. n Water supply. Most of Washington’s water supply is stored in snow pack and glaciers that run off into riv-

as it turns out By marylin olds ers. But here in Kitsap, 80 percent of our water supply comes from groundwater from wells. Simply put, our groundwater comes from rain-fed aquifers. n Higher temperatures. The average annual temperature over this past century in Washington rose by 1.5 degrees. Doesn’t seem like much, but even slightly warmer temperatures change weather patterns. For Washington, it

means warmer winters with more rain and less snow and hotter summers with less rain. The impact to non-replenishing glaciers means — among many things — dwindling water supplies during summer. n Coastal erosion.

Increased winter rains also increase storms and their frequency, and the risk of floods and landslides on rain-soaked coastal bluffs.

This not only threatens private properties, but threatens our essential infrastructure around the Puget Sound and Hood Canal. n Water pollution.

Warmer winter weather brings heavier rains which carry pollutants left on the ground like car oils, animal waste, fertilizers and pesticides with it. Wetlands and the benefits they provide (like absorbing storm water and carbon dioxide, recharging aquifers) are also at risk should they be lost to sea level rise.

n Sea level rise. As temperatures rise, so do ocean temperatures — particularly so for Puget Sound and Hood Canal. Kitsap County’s more than 200 miles of coastline exposes it to risk by warming ocean waters and melting glaciers and ice caps. n Antarctica. Now we are told that the melting ice sheet of West Antarctica appears to be irreversible and is likely to continue to the rest of that continent.

The resulting sea level rise will be considerable and no one can foresee a truly accurate measure or timeline for this. The warming ocean appears to be the culprit, causing westerly winds to change around Antarctica. The ever-strengthening westerlies are forcing “subsurface warm waters poleward to melt the glaciers, and push surface waters northward,” according to Eric Rignot, a glaciologist and lead author

of the recent study on West Antarctica. Significant rise in sea level is inevitable. n Wells. Rising sea levels mean the increasing possibility of our water wells being contaminated with saltwater. Kitsap’s ground water aquifers are directly connected to rainfall, but aquifers for coastal communities near or below sea level could be in serious trouble. n Food. The state’s agriculture will continue to be adversely affected by decreasing water for irrigation. Think of Washington without its apples or Walla Walla onions. n Salmon. Rising water temperatures bring a multitude of survival problems to the Northwest salmon.

River flows affect salmon migration and spawning by increased winter flooding and decreased summer flows. A warming Puget Sound and Hood Canal will decrease food for all fish,

making them less able to deal with other changes due to changing temperatures.

Gov. Jay Inslee has pledged to work toward the state’s adherence to greenhouse gas emission goals on gradual steps and more use of clean energy over the next few decades. Partisan tension prevents common grounds for progress.

President Obama’s administration has launched the National Climate Assessment, observing the nation’s current rising temperatures, but with too few solutions. Political gridlock thrives there as well.

It’s a shame for the Earth that we’re living in a time where every aspect of our lives is taken over by politicians. Yet, arguments abound from accepting the reality of climate change to sharing responsibility in its creation, and to agreeing on what can be done about it.

Is there something you do about it?

Island Co. official who resigned running for Kitsap auditor

By KEVAN MOORE

Central Kitsap Reporter

BREMERTON — A former Island County commissioner who sued that county on two occasions and abruptly resigned from her post in early May is now a candidate for Kitsap County auditor.

Republican Kelly Emerson, who now lives in the Illahee area, is one of two candidates to succeed Walt Washington, a Democrat who is not seeking re-election. The other candidate is Port Orchard Democrat Dolores Gilmore.

Election

Continued from page 3 He believes there should be more investment in our roads. Take Highway 3 for example, which backs up every time the bridge is open, he said.

“Roads as a whole … are we being effective,” Henden asked.

This is Henden’s fifth campaign for public office.

He ran unsuccessfully for county commissioner twice and once for fire commissioner before being elected to the school board.

City

Continued from page 3 audience might not be open to his words of caution.

“It’s a dangerous group to speak to like that,” Stern said, pointing out that the crowd leaned heavily toward the business side.

“You don’t have a broad community here (at that meeting), you have people speaking from the same hymnal and that is dangerous for economic development,” Stern said, noting that Kingston has a variety of interest groups and that economic development should consider everyone.

“If we have a large retirement community in the area, how are you addressing [and] protecting their interests? Which could very well be maintaining the status quo — keep it small, don’t change it.”

The luncheon was the second in a three-part series of luncheons organized by the Greater Kingston Economic Development Committee. One more luncheon is planned: May

Emerson resigned from the Island County Board of Commissioners May 5, seven months shy of completing her first term.

“I will delightfully relinquish the title at the end of the week and head off to greener pastures,” Emerson said at her last board meeting, according to the Whidbey NewsTimes.

“Thank you so much for the opportunity, it has really truly been an honor. I’m really sorry for those of you that hoped that we would further our cause and be

more effective in rightsizing Island County, but there’s always tomorrow.”

After announcing her resignation, Emerson excused herself before the other commissioners had a chance to speak.

Shortly after Emerson was named chairwoman of the commission last year, she was stripped of her leadership role after her fellow commissioners questioned her work ethic, ability to lead and willingness to seek consensus. Emerson had a reputation for being absent or non-participatory

at public meetings, abstaining from votes and simply remaining silent at times.

Emerson sued Island County twice over an unissued building permit to place a deck on her Camano Island home. The first lawsuit was settled, but a second lawsuit claims that the county violated the terms of that deal.

Emerson said characterizations of her by her former Island County colleagues are inaccurate and unfair.

“I really don’t want to talk about Island County,” she

told the Bremerton Patriot.

“I want to focus on Kitsap County.”

Emerson said she moved to Kitsap County because her husband of 16 years, Ken, was relocated from his work at the Nova Group.

She said he has been working here throughout the week for the past three years.

Emerson said her time in Island County has prepared her well to seek office in Kitsap County.

Emerson said she was actively engaged with Naval Air Station Whidbey Island

and related issues as Island County commissioner. She said she is a member of the Bremerton-Olympic Peninsula Navy League as well as a number of other community groups.

Emerson said her experience as a county commissioner taught her about the full breadth of responsibilities and opportunities of an auditor’s office.

Emerson says she also served on canvassing boards and considers an auditor’s role in elections to be vitally important.

School board members are elected to four-year terms and are not paid.

They are elected through districtwide elections.

Members of the state House of Representatives are elected to two-year terms, are paid $42,106 a year and receive the same benefits as state employees.

Appleton is a long-time Poulsbo resident. She served on the Poulsbo City Council for eight years and worked as a lobbyist/advocate for 11 years. She won a fifth term in the state House in 2012 with 25,383 votes to Tony Stephens’ 16,630.

During her latest term, Appleton said the legislative work she’s helped pass includes the DREAM Act and adding $1 billion to public school funding. The

governor also signed a bill that allows veterans coming from out-of-state to pay in-state college tuition without waiting a year to be a resident — a bill Appleton

is particularly proud of. The Legislature also balanced the budget without making severe cuts, Appleton said.

There is more work to do.

“There’s lots of things that

come up … Constituents want or have a good idea that you want to put into legislation,” she said.

Drum

Continued from page 1 October 2012, according to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. The majority of those students are Port Gamble S’Klallam, McCurdy said.

Because students from the Tribe are already familiar with S’Klallam customs, including songs and dances, the drum project isn’t so much about education as it is a source of pride.

“They puff up and get into it,” McCurdy said.

For those students who may not know much about their neighbors, it gives them a hands-on learning opportunity. It allows the students to acknowledge the Tribe, McCurdy said.

The drum kits were purchased with money from a Tribe X grant from the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe.

McCurdy purchased the kits at Harts Lake Trading Post in Roy. Though the hides — which become the drum skin — were already pre-punched with holes, McCurdy and the class did the rest.

The hides were first soaked in water in a ventilated area of the school.

and her lawyer, Dennis McGlothin, the float was then rented to Kingston Adventures for two years and business grew as a result of the float’s availability. The port claims the float was never rented to her.

According to the port, the float was moved near the kayak storage facility so it could be refurbished.

The work was done by the port, not the city, because the work required an overwater maintenance permit, according to Port Commissioner Walt Elliott.

songs is different from typical sheet music. For one, there really isn’t sheet music; rather, traditional music is taught orally and by example. McCurdy did have sheet music for the “Welcome Song,” however, there are no musical notes, just the vocalization.

“It’s a different form of learning,” McCurdy said.

“It’s a lot more verbal. Just a whole different approach to learning.”

Price also gave a few lessons during the song practice. For example, he told the students there is no clapping after a performance; instead, drummers and singers raise their hands in thanks. The people listening to the songs could be anywhere else, Price said, but they chose to be there instead. Raising their hands after a song is “thanking them for taking their time to be there with you,”

he said.

For those familiar with McCurdy, a drum is never far from reach. Along with their custom drums, McCurdy’s music class practices on African drums as well. McCurdy is also the drummer for the local Blues Counselors band.

McCurdy recognizes the community-at-large did not always have the relationship it does now with the Tribe. The drum project was one way to continue to build that relationship.

“This is just a small part I can do to continue to improve the relationship,” he said. “And drumming is the best way I can do that.”

Students will perform what they have learned on their drums June 5 at 6 p.m. at Wolfle. There are also plans to perform June 12 for the last day of school during the recognition assembly.

relocated float, according to the port. That offer was not accepted — it would require Kingston Adventures to work around the sailing program’s schedule.

An offer to rent a moorage site adjacent to the kayak facility was made to Kingston Adventures, at a cost of about $150 per month during the business’ main operating season, according to the port. That was rejected, too, according to the letter from Malone.

According to Malone’s letter, Kingston Adventures is operating from the kayak storage facility, which is a violation of the storage agreement. In section 6 of the lease agreement obtained by the Kingston Community News, and signed by Brewster and her

husband Rob, “the lessee shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any interests therein, or use it for any commercial purpose, without the prior written permission of the Port.”

The business is also operating without a commercial use agreement, according to the port.

The most recent use agreement between the business and the port was signed Jan. 26, 2011. The agreement was valid for 12 months and OKd by the commissioners at the time.

The new commercial use agreement Brewster was given is “filled with restrictions,” she said. The old one was six pages; the new one is 13 pages, she said.

Brewster was given the new lease on April 22 and told she could take as long as she needed to review it, she said. She paid rent through May, she said.

Brewster said she is allowed to store her equipment in the small watercraft facility through June, but if she operates her business from it, she will be fined, she said.

“I am the victim here,” she said. “They’re pushing out the last female-run business on port property.”

Elliott disagrees. He said Kingston Adventures cannot operate from the small watercraft storage facility, and cannot operate at the marina without a use agreement.

“If a building inspector says you’ve got a problem, you can’t say, ‘Well, I’ve been doing it for years,’ ” he said.

Harrison may consolidate acute care in Silverdale Lent wants ‘conversation’ on using Bremerton site for veterans

By KEVAN MOORE

Central Kitsap Reporter

BREMER TON — Harrison Medical Center’s acute hospital care services will likely be consolidated at the Silverdale campus in the next three to four years, Harrison President and CEO Scott Bosch announced May 23.

Bosch said Harrison’s board of directors is still evaluating what outpatient services will continue to be offered in Bremerton.

“The board is not willing to abandon Bremerton,” Bosch said. “We are not going to leave Bremerton.

We are going to be here in a significant way.”

What that presence will look like is not yet clear, but it could include some urgent care services, wellness programs and medical specialists.

Bremerton Mayor Patty

Lent, who spoke privately with Bosch ahead of the announcement, said she was shocked by the proposed move and hospital closure.

“It’s hard for me to separate Harrison from the city and that’s what I feel is the proposal that they are making,” Lent said.

Lent said her first calls after her visit with Bosch went to Sen. Patty Murray and U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer to begin a conversation about housing a veterans hospital at the facility.

“That was my first reaction because I just couldn’t see that hospital vacated,” she said. “I just couldn’t see that.”

Lent noted that the hospital is exempt from property taxes and business and occupation taxes. She says the hospital only brought in about $80,000 in sales tax to the city last year. Those revenues have spiked whenever the hospital underwent any sort of construction, but Lent’s real concern is with businesses surrounding the hospital.

“I’m looking at citizens, surrounding businesses, doctors and clinics that

Harrison is preparing to invest $220 million to $240 million to expand its Silverdale campus in the next 36 to 48 months.

File photo have built or remodeled and are there because of the hospital,” she said. “It has a bigger ripple effect than I think a regular citizen might think about. I’m a bigpicture person and I’m looking at the future and I’m looking at that ripple effect.”

Lent said she hopes to see the population of Bremerton reach 50,000 in the next five years and feels that a hospital is critical to that growth.

“I’m going to work double-time to make sure the city does whatever it can do and treat this as an opportunity to better the city by repurposing the facility and still maintaining the integrity of what a citizen expects as we grow to that bigger population,” she said.

While a final decision has not been made, Bosch said the move to have just one hospital makes sense financially and strategically. Harrison is preparing to invest $220 million to $240 million to expand the Silverdale campus in the next 36 to 48 months.

“We operate two hospitals seven miles apart,” he said. “Can you imagine how much duplication there is

between those two hospitals? We have two kitchens. We have two X-ray departments. We have two laboratories. We have two emergency departments.

Two registration areas.

Two operating suites. And it becomes incredibly duplicative for us to operate those things.”

Bosch said more people are showing up in Silverdale with trauma and then have to be transported to Bremerton’s trauma center after being stabilized.

Pregnant women show up in Bremerton a lot, but the birthing center is in Silverdale.

“The public is confused about what to do, where to go and where to seek care because we have two growing campuses,” he said.

“It’s not a long-term, viable situation. In fact, we believe that by combining two campuses into one campus on the Silverdale campus we would save somewhere between $10 million and $15 million a year and that’s conservative, it will probably be more than that.”

Having just one hospital in Silverdale will also allow patients to have their own private rooms. About two thirds of patients in Bremerton are forced to share a room with other patients. The hospital campus in Bremerton sits on about seven acres and lacks

adequate parking. Bosch said spending $110 million to $130 million to renovate the building doesn’t make sense.

“That’s more money than we think that we have to put into an old building,” he said. “The plumbing, electrical, HVAC are all deteriorating to the point where we have floods, power outages and problems with heating and air conditioning.”

He later added, “In 1965, this was a great location. In 2014 it’s not.”

Bosch said the Great Recession, changes to Medicare and Medicaid, an aging population, and the Affordable Care Act, which “truly is having a huge impact on us,” are all driving the decision to locate a single hospital in Silverdale. There has been a nearly 25 percent reduction in hospital admissions since 2008 and profits have seen an even more dramatic decline. In 2008, the net operating income percentage was nearly 7.5 percent.

Today, it’s at about 3.5 percent and is projected to dip to under .5 percent by 2020.

With a single campus in Silverdale, though, hospital officials are projecting to be at just over 2 percent in 2019 and 2020.

“When our board saw (these numbers), they said, ‘Well, we really don’t have much choice at this point,’” Bosch said. “Running a two-campus system with its inefficiencies and duplication, and the age with what needs to be pumped into this (Bremerton) facility, the change is so dramatic that we have to grab control of the cost of the situation.”

Bosch noted that in 2005, 70 percent of Harrison’s revenue came from inpatient hospital care. This year, for the first time, that number dipped to 49 percent.

“That’s a massive change that has driven us economically for the first time in history,” he said. “Ambulatory, outpatient care is much

more important financially and better for patients.

There has been a huge push to keep people out of hospitals because it is so expensive for people to receive care in the hospital setting.”

Harrison has about 2,500 employees at 28 sites. At the hospital in Bremerton, there are 511 part-time employees and 765 full-time employees. The hospital in Silverdale has 245 part-time employees and 100 full-time employees. Bosch says a reduction of duplicative services will shrink the workforce, but an expansion with new buildings will expand it.

“There’s a balancing effect there,” he said.

Bosch also noted that Harrison’s board of directors has been looking at various options as part of its “Vision 2020” longterm planning effort, prior to partnering with the Franciscan Health System.

“This project was not driven by the Franciscan Healthcare System,” he said. “They weren’t the drivers. They are, however, going to be the financiers.”

Bosch said the time is right for such a big change.

“It’s just a changed world and in many ways it’s a better world to do this,” he said.

“We’ve waited long enough where this will make a lot of sense to the physicians and I think to the community.

What we’re going to provide them is a much better healthcare solution.”

Bosch said Harrison will work with the City of Bremerton, Kitsap County and the public to figure out ways that the Bremerton facility can remain viable. A task force that will include Mayor Lent and others will be set up and phone surveys are already in the works.

In the end, Bosch said the dramatic change is part of an ongoing effort to increase wellness and streamline healthcare.

“This is what the people of the whole region ought to be focusing on, is their health, rather than if they have a hospital in their backyard,” he said.

“Having a major medical center in the center of the county that’s really only 20 minutes from most parts of the county, even Bainbridge Island is not that far, is an amazing thing and I hope the community understands.”

Marijuana lottery includes Kingston businesses

By RICHARD D. OXLEY

Staff Writer

KITSAP COUNTY — Fifty-nine applicants are competing for 10 retail marijuana licenses throughout Kitsap County.

An ordered list of retail applicants was released May 2 by the Washington State Liquor Control Board — the agency charged with organizing the new retail marijuana market in the state after the passage of I-502.

The list is the result of a lottery, used to order a crowd of applicants whose number exceeds the total allowable stores in the county. The board will now begin processing the applications, determining which ones meet the letter of the law.

Approved retail businesses will be issued licenses by the first week of July, according to a statement from the liquor control board.

Kitsap is allocated 10 retail marijuana establishments. The applications have been submitted to take

nesses, but at different addresses.

The 10 slots are broken down within the county — seven in unincorporated areas, two in Bremerton, and one on Bainbridge Island.

The businesses that are vying for licenses within the county’s at-large region — a total of 40 — include: five in Bremerton, four in Kingston, three in Poulsbo, three in Silverdale, and 25 in Port Orchard.

Bainbridge Island, slated for one license, has three applicants. Bremerton’s two spots are eyed by 16 applicants.

While the list of applicants is released and ordered, it does not set in stone who will ultimately receive a license. Applicants must meet certain criteria to gain approval, such as passing a criminal background check and a financial investigation. The retail store itself must also be located in an area that meets buffer zone requirements, such as being 1,000 feet from schools, parks, or other areas where children frequent.

If an applicant fails to meet the board’s criteria, the application will be denied and the next business on the list will be considered.

The lottery was held from April 21-25, and was an independent, double-blind process. A total of 1,174 applicants were included in the lottery state-wide, across 75 jurisdictions that had so many applicants that a lottery was required. A total of 47 jurisdictions did not require a lottery for retail marijuana licensees.

The board reached out to the Social and Economic Sciences Research Center at Washington State University, along with Kraght-Snell of Seattle, the accounting firm for the Washington Lottery, to handle the lottery. Each contributed in producing an ordered lists of applicants.

Retail businesses are only one part of the new recreational marijuana market that businesses are applying for. The liquor control board is also processing applications to produce and

Dixon discusses importance of his role with a non-prof it

sharenet & you By mark ince

D

avid Dixon volunteers in two roles at ShareNet: as a Thrift Store shift lead and as a Grocery Rescue worker.

Dixon was one of those volunteers who got involved rather quickly at a deep level, giving a lot of his time to ShareNet each week. The time he gives us is all the more remarkable because of all his other volunteer commitments: Gateway Visitor Center, Edmonds Center for the Arts, Stillwaters Environmental Center, Kingston Friends of the Library, and the Kitsap County Adopt-A-Road program.

Dave, is ShareNet a good fit for retirees?

ShareNet is a very good fit for retirees to keep them engaged and active, to expand their social connections, to contribute to their community, and to give a sense of doing something worthwhile.

Why are these volunteer experiences meaningful to you?

I very much enjoy doing all of these activities. I’ve done Stillwaters, Friends of the Library, and AdoptA-Road for years, but ShareNet, Gateway, ECA, and the Human Rights Council volunteering have begun after retirement. My retirement life is very fulfilling.

Tell us what you do at ShareNet? As a shift lead in the Thrift Store, I accept donations, price items, cashier, display items for sale, answer questions from other volunteers, count and balance the cash register, and whatever else needs to be done.

In Grocery Rescue, I drive the ShareNet van to Albertsons to collect, weigh, and bring back surplus food to ShareNet and stock it. The Food Bank then distributes the food to clients. I have also repre-

David Dixon has two volunteer roles at ShareNet. sented ShareNet at special events such as EcoFest and Hometown Harvest.

With so many volunteer opportunities to choose from, why ShareNet? ShareNet fit my interest in helping people and it was in my community. I liked all the people I initially met and the people I work with is a major reason why I like it so much. They all share my interest in helping people and have many other interests to share. Meeting ShareNet clients, Thrift

Store customers, and workers at our donor organizations is a great way to stay active, involved, and mindchallenged.

When you retired, were you concerned about how you would spend all that new free time?

I retired in January 2013 after a 40-year Civil Service career, mostly with the Navy. I worked in Human Resources (staffing, EEO, and ADR).

Yes, I was concerned about how I would adjust to

How Does Spinal Decompression Work?

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is computer guided, state-of-the-art equipment that slowly lengthens and decompresses the spine, creating negative pressures within the disc. This reversal of presssure creates a vacuum that helps to re-position bulging discs and pull extruded material back into place, taking pressure off of pinched nerves. Spinal experts believe that nutrients, oxygen and fluids are drawn into the disc to create a vitalized environment conducive to healing of degenerating discs.

retirement and how to spend my time. I knew that I had to keep busy and wanted to do a variety of things, especially outdoors, rather than sitting at a desk which I’d been doing the previous 40 years.

Thus, I researched many volunteer opportunities that matched my many interests (e.g., helping people, travel, music and the arts, books and reading, the outdoors and sports).

Tell us more about your other volunteer work.

At Gateway Visitor Center five miles west of the Hood Canal Bridge at the Port Townsend turnoff, I provide information to tourists and others.

At the Edmonds Center for the Arts, I usher at performances.

I’m a member of the Kitsap County Human Rights Council and help plan and work at events such as the annual Youth Rally and the annual Kitsap County Human Rights Conference.

I’ve always felt very strongly about equality and discrimination.

At Stillwaters Environmental Center, I help plan and work at special events such as EcoFest, their annual auction, and the annual book sale.

At Kingston Friends of the Library, I help plan and work at book sales and transport books as needed.

The spotlight is not an uncommon place for Durham Fab Spotlight C hristopher Durham looks so familiar. Of course. FAB’s (Fine Arts Boosters) featured artist — an actor and singer — has been in the spotlight at Kingston High School seven times in major theater roles since he was a freshman.

His most recent was Nicely in “Guys and Dolls.”

Nice is what Christopher is. His compassion surfaced over and over in our interview. As Nicely, Durham sang tenor, but Christopher is a baritone.

“With tutoring from my quartet partners I learned how to sing tenor,” he said.

“I loved the ‘Guys and Dolls’ role. I got to eat real food on stage.”

The spring musical production was a miracle.

If choir was offered this spring the KHS Men’s Quartet and the Choir Ensemble would have gone on winning competitions.

They are that good. We let

the vocalists down badly.

Because of changing school boundaries Christopher had to fight to stay a KHS student. He will be back for his Senior year.

Choosing the arts — drama and music — over sports, Christopher said “I originally felt I didn’t deserve attention. That changed when I got compliments on my acting and how good I am. The Missoula Theater Company when at Briedablik got rid of my shy side. I came out of my shell but I was still me.

“We learned off point acting meaning how to keep in character without having any lines,” he said. (I’ve wondered how actors do that) I also wondered what happened to “actresses?”

Christopher explained how

the term “actress” mixed feminine qualities with submissiveness.

“Would you rather be treated by a doctor or a doctoress?”

He added, “ ‘Actor’ has more depth. There has been a gradual change.”

Speaking of doctors, the Seattle School of Oriental Medicine calls Christopher to a career in acupuncture.

The compassionate side of Christopher shows itself as he cares for his two younger brothers.

“I love being a big brother,” he said. “... I love to cook for them, sometimes from a recipe or I wing it.

Cooking is a vital life skill for everyone. Did you notice the Easy Bake Oven is now silver not pink? The shift to unisex cooking.”

About Christopher being compassionate: “I am very against bullying. We don’t bully at Kingston High School, but I went to a funeral of a bullied friend of

a friend. I went in support of my friend. The bullied young person’s most amazing art forms that were shown there — writing and drawing — shared a dark silhouette about his self. I will never know him.

Moments that suck pay off later.”

Christopher cares that KHS is seen as the underdog high school in North

Kitsap.

“This reflects on the community but we have many talented artists in all fields.

Our character shows in all our forms of expression. As artists when we share who we are it is show and tell about our school.”

May 30, 31 and June 1 the community can once again see what KHS Drama can do during two short plays

and a scene being presented at the school. Show your support by being there.

Drama will perform “The Real Inspector Hound,” “The Actor’s Nightmare,” and a scene from “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.”

Shows are May 30-31 at 7 p.m., and June 1 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $9 for adults, $7 for students and seniors.

Les Salmon, MD, Beats Cancer Physician, Patient, Cancer Survivor

As a general surgeon, Charles “Les” Salmon, MD, was renowned for his optimistic manner. Before and after founding The Doctors Clinic in 1949, he cared for thousands of patients over his half-century medical career. However, his own diagnosis of stage 4 prostate cancer in 1991 tested that optimism.

“Hearing my diagnosis gave me a long moment of pause,” he says. “But after that moment, I just became determined to beat cancer.”

“Dr. Salmon was so physically young, that we encouraged him to fight it,” says Dr. Charles Springate, radiation oncologist with Harrison Medical Center. “We treated him aggressively, and he beat it.”

Dr. Salmon was determined to make the most of this new lease on life. His experience became a source of strength for his daughter, Linda, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998 and also treated by Dr. Springate. “We are forever grateful for the care that we both received,” says Linda, “and that we didn’t have to travel to Seattle every day for treatment.”

Harrison brings the latest in cancer treatments close to home. That way, you can focus on your recovery, not travel.

Now 95 years young, Les Salmon appreciates his good health more than ever. “We all do,” says Linda. “Every day is a gift of time to share with our father.”

Tribe chairman reflects on Billy Frank Jr.’s lessons Noo-Kayet

Our Village

By Jeromy Sullivan

L

ast month, Billy Frank Jr. passed away. He was 83.

Billy was a leader, a tireless advocate, a warrior, and a legend. His passion and energy will be missed by many, not the least of which the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission — a group he was chairman of for more than 30 years — as well as Tribal leaders and fishermen across Washington state.

Billy was a force whose passing deserves all of the attention it has received.

If you haven’t already, I would encourage you to track down some of these tributes, especially if you have only a passing familiarity with Billy’s struggles to help secure and maintain fishing treaty rights for Tribes in this state.

A Nisqually Tribe member, Frank was known specifically for his grassroots campaign in defense of fishing rights on the Tribe’s Nisqually River north of Olympia in the 1960s and 1970s. Frank was arrested more than 50 times in the Fish Wars of that time.

While there’s little I can say about Billy that hasn’t already been written, I do want to reflect a bit on the things that I’ve learned from Billy’s work. n Stand up for what you believe in … even when no one else will. n Speaking your mind —

especially if your opinion is unpopular — is a hard thing to do. The minute you open your mouth, you open yourself up for ridicule and arguments, but no one has ever accomplished anything or affected positive change by sitting back and accepting the status quo.

Of course, there’s a downside to this: standing up means people will try to knock you down and, sometimes, they will. Like the old saying goes though, it’s better to have tried and failed then to have never tried at all. n Treat people with respect, even if you’re on opposite sides.

If you put yourself and what you believe out into the open, inevitably, you’re going to run into someone who doesn’t agree with you. I’ve been in countless meetings where this has happened. For example, our Tribe’s protection of Port Gamble Bay has come

under fire on more than one occasion. Not because these opponents necessarily want to harm the bay, but because their perspective is different or they put other interests above environmental concerns. n The thing I have found to remember is that disagreement doesn’t invalidate your opinion. You have to have the courage of your own convictions, but understand that someone who thinks otherwise isn’t necessarily your enemy.

It’s the big and small things that can make your community a better place.

The “fish-ins” could have been dismissed as simple acts of defiance, but, today, more than 40 years later, it’s clear how they changed the world.

There are examples like this throughout history.

You probably have a few in your own experiences — an act of kindness or consideration that changed the course of your day or life.

Sometimes seemingly small steps and actions can make all the difference.

Speaking of little things that can make a big difference: I want to invite you to participate in the clean up of Point Julia on June 14. Beginning at 9 a.m., our Natural Resources Department will be leading a volunteer effort on what is the kick-off of the Port Gamble Bay Debris Removal Project. Not only will your involvement help to make Point Julia a safer place, but it will also impact the success of the ultimate goal of protecting Port Gamble Bay for the future

of our community.

In closing, Billy Frank Jr. taught me a lot about the importance of standing up for what’s right and important. He fought for Washington’s tribes and helped many of us find a voice. In respect to his sacrifices, we must never lose it.

Background on U.S. vs. Washington From the North Kitsap Herald In 1970, the U.S. sued the State of Washington on behalf of the Treaty Tribes, alleging the state was preventing Tribes from exercising the fishing rights guaranteed them under treaties signed with the U.S. On Feb. 12, 1974, U.S. District Court Judge George H. Boldt ruled in favor of the Treaty Tribes.

An article in the treaties states, “The right of taking fish at usual and accustomed grounds and stations is further secured to said Indians in common with all citizens of the Territory.”

Boldt interpreted “in common with” to mean an equal share, 50 percent of the available salmon harvest.

But Boldt’s ruling, upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, did more than affirm Indian fishing rights. It upheld treaties as being supreme over state law, as stated in the U.S. Constitution. It established Treaty Tribes as co-managers of the salmon fishery. And it spawned other actions designed to

protect salmon, because — as Frank stated in the ensuing years — if there is no salmon fishery, then the treaty is violated.

Among those subsequent actions: n In 1985, Canada and the United States signed the Pacific Salmon Treaty; through the Pacific Salmon Commission, both countries cooperate in the management, research and enhancement of Pacific salmon stocks. n In 1994, U.S. District Court Judge Edward Rafeedie ruled that indigenous treaty signers had also reserved the right to harvest shellfish from any beds not “staked or cultivated by citizens,” meaning all public and private tidelands are subject to treaty harvest. “A treaty is not a grant of rights to the Indians, but a grant of rights from them,” Rafeedie wrote in his decision. n In 1999, the state Legislature adopted the Forests & Fish Law, directing the state’s Forest Practices Board to adopt measures to protect Washington’s native fish and aquatic species and ensure compliance with the Clean Water Act. The law affects 60,000 miles of streams flowing through 9.3 million acres of state and private forestland. n In 2013, U.S. District Court Judge Ricardo Martinez ruled that the state must remove hundreds of state highway culverts that block fish passage over the next 17 years.

The State of Washington is appealing the decision.

An author’s distractions and procrastinations S

o I’m writing a book.

In theory, at least.

In actual fact what I’m doing is anything and everything but sit down and write.

In the last few weeks I’ve been a blur of motion, which — sadly — has not included the motion of my fingers on the keyboard.

My house has never been so clean. My toenails are freshly painted. My summer deck pots are planted.

My files are organized. My dogs are brushed. And I haven’t turned down a single social invitation in two months.

A movie? Let’s go. Trivia at Tizley’s? Sign me up. An ice show in Seattle? What ferry are we catching? I

swear it’s gotten so bad I’m ready to accept invitations from random strangers. If you want someone to come sit on your couch and watch “The Bachelorette” with you, just let me know.

The frenzy started in March when I was approached to work on a book about growing things in the home garden for making beverages, alcoholic and otherwise. Considering my life experience, this is good and bad. Gardening, heck yes. Drinking, sure.

Brewing, distilling, and fermenting: no clue. This means a lot of research.

Research puts me to sleep.

Fortunately, I’m not alone.

My co-author is my friend and fellow Kingstonite,

on kingston time By wendy tweten Debbie Teashon. Debbie is a talented gardener, writer, and photographer (she will be providing photos for the book), and the web-mistress of the most excellent Northwest gardening web-

site, Rainy Side Gardener.

Debbie feels my pain.

Part of the reason for our slow progress is that we both have real jobs: Debbie works at Valley Nursery, and I spend my days at Wolfle Elementary School.

You could say we both make a living helping little things grow. The difference is, Debbie never gets called “pickle head” by her charges.

The topic of our book, although challenging, does have certain advantages — mainly the “fact-finding” visits to breweries and wineries. “Oh no,” I say. “I need first-hand knowledge about hard cider (or beer, or wine, or …). That sidebar on lupulin will just have to

wait.” And once again, I’m not writing.

Can you blame me? Have you ever tried sussing out the fine points of the alpha acids in hops, or attempt to get to the bottom of the twovs. six-row barley controversy (yes … the brewing world has strong feelings about barley). When our editor asked for a section on diastatic power, I did the only sane thing; I passed it off to Debbie. (Love you, Debbie!)

On the other hand, I’ve learned some interesting tidbits. For instance, did you know that hops are closely related to marijuana?

Or that apples have such vast genetic diversity that, according to Michael Pollan

in “The Botany of Desire,” only one in every 80,000 seed-grown trees produces apples worth eating? I’m hoping some of this random information might come in handy at those aforementioned trivia nights.

In conclusion, I hope you appreciate the irony of this column. Yes, it’s another procrastination. But now it’s done and I’m going to get back to work researching apple cultivars … just as soon as I make some zucchini bread.

— Contact Wendy at ­ wendy@wendytweten.com.

Please note: no invitations to sit on strangers’ couches.

That was a joke.

Columnist gives herself a failing grade in sophistication I

have come to the conclusion that I failed when it came time to learn sophistication.

I grew up in Spokane, where some places practiced sophistication and other places did not. I lived in the other places, so I had to learn from the movies (like everyone else I knew).

In those movies, I saw sophistication in the glamorous, beautifully dressed women holding their cigarettes daintily in one hand and a martini in the other.

First, I tried hard to learn how to smoke. My parents both smoked and so did many of my high school friends, so how hard could it be? I watched my Mother light up. She put the cigarette in her mouth, scratched the kitchen match on the side of the match box, held it to the end of the white tube and inhaled deeply, then she placed the cigarette in an ashtray and she would smile and go on about whatever she was doing. I watched my Dad do pretty much the same thing, only he left the cigarette hanging in the side of his mouth, even when he was milking the cow or chopping wood for kindling.

I was 16 and my friend said, “Here. Give it a try.”

Her name was Sherlynn. (I wonder what ever happened to her?) So I did what I thought you were supposed to do. I put the “ciggy” in my mouth (Sherlyn said this was what to call it).

What a terrible taste, to

hansville happenings By donna lee anderson say nothing about the burning on my tongue after it

was lit. It was quite a while before I tried it again (with the same results), and so ended my smoking days.

Pretty much the same thing happened with drinking a martini. My Dad knew I was showing interest in drinking, so although he usually drank beer or whiskey, he did have the occasional martini and, on one occasion (I was around 16) he said, “Here, have a drink. Take a big swallow so you get the full affect.” After much sputtering and gagging, I gave up martinis too.

So now, this only left dressing the part of a worldly or sophisticated lady.

This I worked at for many years. I wore high heels every day to work, I wore my hair in stylish up-dos, I followed the skirt lengths of fashion to the letter (and seldom wore slacks unless I was scrubbing floors), and generally acted like a lady that was sophisticated (never mind the fact that

I was woefully uninformed about life in general).

And now we come to the point of this piece. I have decided I have now flunked (big time) the art of sophistication and all signs thereof.

I no longer wear high heels, I wear slacks (or, perish the thought, jeans) every day.

I never learned to smoke

gracefully (or in any way).

I still can’t handle a martini and I even use a swear word occasionally. So, I guess I am not very sophisticated.

Sorry to announce this, and I hope my friends will forgive me for my failure.

Be safe: Columnist urges caution when boating near state ferries Walt Elliott got a pilot-house view of how boaters can be safer when sharing the waters with state ferries and other large vessels. Here’s what he learned.

on the pilings by the prop wash.

While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the subject, expect a visit from the Coast Guard if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re within 500 yards of a ferry underway, or 100 yards when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the dock. If you find yourself too close, slow down and turn away.

Leaving Kingston, the ferry runs straight for about 600 yards to clear the shoals off of the point of Apple Tree Cove, before it turns. So, when coming out of the marina when a ferry is at dock, go straight and wait a bit before turning north. The crew sets the course to clear the boats milling about. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it helps to hold your course in these situations.

If you do maneuver, make a big course change, like 45 degrees, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get noticed by the crew and the radar.

The course to Edmonds was picked to avoid ships in the Puget Sound Traffic Separation Scheme.

Inbound ships come down â&#x20AC;&#x153;lanesâ&#x20AC;? on our side of the Sound, and the outbound ships go up â&#x20AC;&#x153;lanesâ&#x20AC;? on the Edmonds side. Other boats, including ferries, are supposed to stay out of these lanes and, when they cross, to cross at right angles. The ferries normally pass astern of the ships.

If they have to cross ahead, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arranged on the radio.

Merchant ships are going faster than they look and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much time to get out of their way. We clocked one going 22 knots, or two miles in five minutes.

When crossing their track itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to just aim astern.

Another reason to stay well clear is their limited visibility, because the view ahead can be obscured by containers for up to a mile.

If you find yourself in a situation with these ships call them on the Coast Guardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traffic control Channel 13. Five blasts on their whistle doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean

hello, it means that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in danger. While ferries can do an emergency stop in something over one boat length the big ships take ten lengths or about a mile and half.

On the way back we turned into Kingston about a mile off the beach and maneuvered to the dock in a tricky tide. This is done at a cool steering station where they can operate both propellers and both rudders simultaneously. While thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no rule against fishing in front of the ferry dock, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to have a schedule and start pulling nets and pots 30 minutes before arrival/ departure.

Better yet, put your crab pots 500 yards away. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; FerryFare is written

Our Kiwanis Club awards scholarships to deserving students that are high achievers and are in involved in community service. We had so many exceptional candidates â&#x20AC;Ś we had to decide between 15 amazing students. We interviewed seven and finally were able to pick two exceptional young women.

Congratulations to

Kingston Kiwanis

By BOB LEE Tatiana Finch and Jennifer Ryder from Kingston High School. I will highlight them in a later issue. The competition was so close that we are considering a third â&#x20AC;&#x153;Legacyâ&#x20AC;? scholarship recipient, to be named later.

We have our â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feed the Kidsâ&#x20AC;? beer fest on June 7 at

Kingston Farmers Market part of ‘idyllic small town’ Farmers I Market came to Apple Tree Cove in February 1989 to live full time.

Jimmy James’ family had owned and used the Kingston Beach Place since 1962, but no one had lived there through a winter.

What an adventure.

What a lot of pretty pictures I had of an idyllic small town in Kitsap.

That autumn, I met Marcia Adams and Cathy Wartes and soon the Kingston Farmers Market was born. I recall the first yellow banner we made together, laid across the living room floor, measured off to make sure it would reach across Main Street.

The first vendor meetings, the first board meeting ... the papers filed and

update

Mary Mcclure the advertising ... the first market, and the first market season.

And now, it’s the 25th season! The market’s birthday party will be on July 19. Of course, the whole town is invited. The whole town is part of the market, and the market is part of Kingston.

The pretty pictures gave way to understanding.

What does it take to sell at the market? Every vendor carefully sets up every week — hauling crates,

required, along with the cost of land, tools, supplies. What stuns me is the impact of the elements, the bargain that every farmer must make with nature.

And it is nature that doesn’t keep the pact: The field of poppies intended for the market that suddenly succumbs to a fungal blight; the beekeeper’s truckload of hives that overturned on the highway or was devastated with bee colony collapse.

This season, Vikki Lobberegt of Dutch Acres near Hansville lost two newborn lambs to coyotes — the lambs she raises for meat and for wool.

Speaking of livestock — thinking of eggs — people often ask at the market

tables, umbrella, and signage; arranging each item with care, remaining cheerful (or at least trying to) even in the rain.

The Port of Kingston’s Mike Wallace Park is the best spot in Kitsap for a farmers market, with its grass and water, nearby parking and decent restrooms. Yet it is still hard work. Music seems so simple, yet we had to learn — not all great sounds lend a light atmosphere; not too raucous, not too sad. Too loud at the front is too soft at the back.

And what does it take to run a farm? To me, this understanding is most sobering of all. It’s pretty easy to comprehend that endless hard work is

Annual 4th of July Fun Run is a benefit for Kingston sports, schools and parks J

uly 4 will be a busy day in Kingston, and Rotarians will be helping families to rise and shine with the Kingston Fun Run. Clint Boxman is cochairman of the Kingston 4th of July Fun Run, along with Dave Roberts of the Kingston Running Club.

Beth Brewster and Nick Jewett are also assisting with the event.

This fun run has something for all running skill levels: 10K, 5K, and 1-mile dash that will benefit the efforts of the KingstonNorth Kitsap Rotary Club and the Kingston Running Club.

The 4th of July Fun Run is an annual event, now in its seventh year. Competitive runners are welcome to participate, but runners of all ages are invited to join in this family friendly event.

You don’t have to be a runner to participate — you can walk the course.

Rotary News

By Nancy martin Non-runners need to know that 10K is 6.2 miles and 5K is 3.1 miles. Last year there were several family entries, including moms or dads with a youngster in a stroller.

Registration opens at 7 a.m. at the Kingston Medical Center located on Barber CutOff Road. You’ll want to arrive early to pick up your T-shirt and get your registration number before the race begins at 9 a.m.

Pre-registration is available online until July 3 at www.kingstonrunning.org.

At that same web address, you can learn more details about the event. Entry fees range from $5 to $25 depending on your age group and event. Fees are per race, with ages 18 and younger paying $15 and

runners will receive their time and awards. There are more than 20 sponsors for this years event and almost every participant will receive a prize, regardless of their placement.

The 4th of July Fun Run is also a “fund run.” Proceeds will benefit the Kingston High School track and cross country teams, providing money for equipment and attendance at team meets.

Kingston Rotary Club also benefits from the run, using the funds for its SPARK Projects (Schools and Parks Around Kingston).

So, if you are looking for a great way to begin a funfilled day, consider joining your friends and neighbors in the Kingston Fun Run. Not only will you have a prime parking space for the parade which starts later in the day, but you’ll also be supporting an event that benefits our community.

ages 19-59 paying $25.

Runners older than 60 get a $15 rate. For families of five or more, there is a family rate of $125.

However, if on the day of the event you feel like running, there will be onsite registration, with a $10 day-of-registration fee. You will need to arrive at least 30 minutes before the race if you have not preregistered.

Parking is available across the street at the Bayside Community Church parking lot.

Clint Boxman will be out early that morning putting up directional signs to guide you through the 10K or 5K course. Rotarians will be stationed at various intersections to control traffic, allowing the runners to continue without stopping. The 10K course is challenging in that there are some elevation changes.

All courses finish at Village Green Park, where

booth for farm fresh eggs.

Nash’s Organics from Sequim usually has eggs each week. And Dutch Acres is in the process of applying for USDA certification for egg sales at the market. Some farmers sell their eggs direct from their farms, also allowed

by USDA. You’ve probably seen hand-lettered signs at driveways here and there, “Fresh Eggs for Sale.”

Clint Dudley, Kingston market manager, gradually built up his multi-breed flock to three dozen birds.

How happy cooking breakfast with green, brown, aqua eggs, knowing they came from Dudley’s Kingston Farm. No more, alas! All 37 hens were slaughtered (plus a few turkeys) within just one week — not by Clint but by weasels that slipped in through quartersize holes in the wire fencing.

I take a deep breath, appreciating our farmers, all farmers, all over again.

Please, come on down to the Kingston Farmers Market and support a farmer today.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT - Dianna Kingsley Anything design related has always captured Diana Kingsley’s attention. A professional interior designer for over forty years, she is NCIDQ certified with a BA in Art from Chico State University, a MA in Interior Design from SDSU and has been a member of ASID (American Society of Interior Design), IIDA (International Interior Design Association) and IDEC (Interior Design Education Council) since 1983 While teaching at the Art Institute, she earned her PhD in Business Marketing. She brings a background, not only in Interior Design, but oil painting and fashion as she shows her artwork in the area and designs children’s clothing for fun.

After retiring from teaching Interior Design for over eight years at The Art Institute of Seattle and writing her book “Hand Drafting for Interior Design” she enjoys working with community projects in the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary and the Boys & Girls Club.

(of course) hand drafting to help make your home or office perfect for you; all the while knowing how important it is to listen to YOU and make the space yours alone.

Diana practiced interior design on Bainbridge Island before moving to Kingston about nine years ago. She changed her name from Amethyst Designs (for the love of purple) to D.zine, as people always thought she was a jewelry designer. She looks to stay involved in the community, help you with the design of your home and/ or office and enjoy the good life in beautiful Kingston.

View her Blog at http:// kingstoncovestudio.wordpress.com where she posts randomly on design, fashion, cake decoration and artwork.

Their sacrifices will result in a stronger community A

ccording to the National Center for Charitable Statistics, there are more than 1.5 million registered nonprofits in the U.S. Most are in constant fundraising mode.

We get calls at dinner time, attend events and buy cookie dough and wrapping paper we don’t need, all in the name of fundraising. We are a remarkably generous society. In 2011, Americans contributed $298 billion to causes that mattered to them. While it does feel good to support the causes beyond ourselves, philanthropy at its highest level can be transformative.

There is a group of 12 volunteers in Kingston who make up the Village Green Foundation board who have been working tirelessly for 10 years to raise $8.2 million

PUBLIC HEARING notice

Daniel Johnson to build a community center to house a new library, Boys & Girls Club, senior center and community meeting space. It is truly a Herculean effort for a small community of 1,700. Collectively, they have volunteered hundreds of hours.

Perhaps more impressive, they have nearly all made the largest personal financial pledges of their lives, just shy of a staggering half-million dollars. The gifts vary in size but they represent commensurate sacrifice.

One board member at first seemed almost offended that she was being asked

The Village Green Foundation hereby provides notice that it has filed an application with USDA, Rural Development for financing the proposed construction of a 23,000-squarefoot community center to house a library, Senior Center, Boys & Girls Club and public meeting space.

The public hearing on the proposed project will be held at the Kingston Fire Station at 26642 Miller Bay Road NE on June 17 at 5:30 p.m. following the Village Green Foundation board meeting.

Public comment will be allowed following a project update. her life to complete the multi-year pledge. A week later, she increased her pledge by $5,000. A week later, she said she wanted to tell her friends what she had done and ask them to join her. The gift became a reflection of her values, hopes and dreams. The sacrifice for a cause vitally important to her was transformational.

to make a large financial pledge on top of the years of donating her most precious commodity — time.

After what she described as a series of long and spirited conversations with her husband, she made a $15,000 pledge. The pledge, she said, was a “lifestyle-changing” stretch gift, meaning she would have to make changes to how she lived

The other board-member stories include a widow on a fixed income who contributes the $5,000 she is able to save each year; and a young father of two, early in his career, who says he is investing in the community where his kids will grow up. In yet another case, a board member is making a six-figure gift made possible from an inheritance, saying, “What better way to honor my mother’s memory?”

We are fortunate that 12 fellow Kingston citizens have made the commitment to build a needed community center for the benefit of generations to come.

Because of their sacrifice.

Kingston will be a stronger community. They have reached 75 percent of the goal. The community has been generous, but to break ground in April 2015 will

On the passage of time and the need to help others I

missed the May issue, as I hope you all noticed.

What an intro, huh?

At my age, you have to let folks know you’re still here and not headed for the Great Beyond. In my august years, I wake up every morning and say, “I’m still here so I had best get up and make coffee just to prove it.”

Somewhere I read that time is man’s invention, the day and night is God’s.

When you think of it that way, then why does man run around always fussing about being on time and trying to complete the almost impossible? Of course, without organization of one’s time, life would be a worse jumble than it is.

Speaking of time, mine grows shorter ahead and the memories longer behind. Not such a bad deal at that. My family has been blessed with five living generations and when

this ‘n’ that By jacque thornton all get together, their time is spent on the “remembering whens.” Sitting back listening, I have found out things that have happened I had never known or had forgotten. The shrieks of laughter and even a few tears bring a renewed closeness to all.

I wonder what will be said of me when I travel on?

One can’t be sure, but I’m certain it will be in good humor because of my habit

of finding it in the oddest of things, especially about myself. Even now I get the giggles every time I go to the Eglon Cemetery where my family is buried in our family plot, to see the stone of a neighbor who had accidentally been buried next to a Thornton some years ago. The fellow who had the record of plots was not in town at the time and his sidekick took care of it. It was a bit of a shock, I’ll admit, but after thinking it over it seemed so darn funny. We sure weren’t going to ask her to get up and move. I’m just grateful that it was a friend with a last name beginning with a T, and not a stranger.

One favorite story told again and again is about a long-past Father’s Day dinner when Don was given a double-layer box of chocolate bon bons. To be thoughtful, I was given a one-layer box of chocolates.

Life turned out differently, but it’s still pretty satisfying I

’m sitting in my minivan with a Diet Coke, a book (never leave home without a book), my laptop, and just enough dark chocolate to keep me happy but not feeling too guilty. Maybe a little guilty.

It’s Saturday. My kids are attending a church youth activity, so I’m just waiting in the parking lot.

I already ventured off to do my Costco shopping, but I still have almost an hour to wait. It’s pouring buckets outside. A sudden creek running down the pavement between the cars changed my initial thought of, “Maybe I’ll go inside and see if I can help.” No. When I was a teenager, I never would have guessed I would enjoy writing on a computer. I made it through college with my trusty electric typewriter. I loved the challenge of writing a paper, beginning to end, one time through. The sentences and paragraphs have to be well-planned when you know you can’t go back and make changes. One idea in the wrong place, and bam!

Start over on another sheet of paper. Talk about a rush.

Roundabout By denise Roundy

“I’m a princess perched in her tower, an author weaving stories from inside a deceptively common minivan.”

Do nerds have extreme sports? Yes, they do.

My senior year, I started dating a boy who owned a computer (the only one in his apartment complex), and for months I refused his offers to let me use it for writing essays. Computers, I reasoned, fell in the same category as day planners.

The truly creative needed neither.

I finally gave it a try, and never went back. Goodbye Wite-Out, hello cut and paste. Also, I married the boy. The computer was not a drawback.

When I was a teenager, I never — ever — would have pictured myself with a personal computer on my lap, in my car. This is not how I envisioned my grownup self. I pictured me … with 10 children, all out exploring the woods near my house, some with books in their hands, while my lumberjack husband tended trees in the forest. (I liked the idea of a lumberjack, but never the associated destruction. Maybe a forest ranger?) Meanwhile, my housekeeper, Alice, would do the laundry and tend dinner. And me? I’d be by an open window, dressed in something soft and flowing, my electric typewriter clicking out my latest romance novel. Diet Coke and chocolate nearby.

I got halfway there. Still working on that novel. I had five kids, I’m at this moment wearing soft, loose

Now, Don could take a few months with candy, eating one every now and then.

Not me. One piece leads to another. About a month or so later, Don brought his box out to offer son Raymond a piece. Since the top layer was down to its last gooey chewy, he took the top paper off — and the look on his face was pure puzzle. He looked at Raymond and said, “What in the blazes (nicer word) happened to the candy? The bottom layer isn’t here?” I quietly slunk into the bedroom — the guilty party. I had been eating from the bottom one at a time when the yen struck me.

Raymond started laughing, realizing what I had done and told his dad. And they never let me forget it. I’m just a chocoholic at heart.

In speaking of time, here’s a saying some will appreciate: “Many people

sweatpants, and while I don’t have a housekeeper, there’s a job chart for the kids posted in the kitchen.

That’s something. Also … my computer geek sweetheart both plants trees and cuts firewood. I’m a lucky, lucky woman.

I read one of those Facebook memes recently: “Don’t give up your day dream.” Get it? Like, don’t give up your day job. I like it. Sitting with my laptop in my van, the back productively full of groceries, my usefulness as a mother secured as I sit and wait to complete chauffeur duties, I feel pretty successful. I think the teen me would be OK with it. My daydreams are still intact.

When I’m done writing here, I’ll switch to the other document I have open: a romantic story I’m working on that whisks me far from parking lots and errands and whatever. Modern mom, dreamy girl. That feels right. Thank heaven for minivans and laptops, and daydreams.

The rain is holding steady, and the wind is picking up. Still a long wait for the kids. I don’t mind it. I’m a princess perched in her tower, an author weaving stories from inside a deceptively common minivan.

I just want to remind folks that we have to get the ball rolling on getting fund donations for next year’s rent for the Kingston Food Bank.

The community needs to pull together to come up with a few yard sales or something.

Last year, the food bank was gifted with a $16,000 donation, which was a real blessing. Barb Fulton works so hard to keep it going. Also, food donations are always needed.

A friend has pledged my family $1,000 matching our donation. I mentioned it to a

EcoFest celebrates the fun side of being sustainable E

coFest makes it really, really fun to be green. It’s always important and, most of the time, it’s pretty fun to do all you can to live a sustainable lifestyle. We can get pretty excited about finding a new way to use fewer resources and save the Earth in a new way.

At EcoFest, the food is great and the music is nice.

The people are even better, and wandering around Stillwaters for an afternoon is pretty special too. But it’s even more fun to learn all kinds of things about living sustainably. You might get

answers to a few questions like these.

How important is it to buy organic cotton rather than non-organic?Sometimes they don’t feel a whole lot different. But organic cotton is grown without pesticides, herbicides, insecticides or chemical fertilizers. That’s a lot of harmful chemicals that are kept out of someone’s watershed. Our world uses a lot of cotton, so focusing on organic cotton can make a big difference overall. make a difference: Buy organic-cotton Stillwaters shirts and totes at EcoFest.

We have a whole new line

choices for the future By naomi maasberg that will be introduced that day.

How important is it to replace incandescent bulbs?

We all know that compact fluorescent bulbs and LED bulbs use less energy, but should we just discard the still-useful incandescents?

That seems like a waste of resources too. It is a good idea to make the transition as quickly as possible, but one idea that makes sense is to move all your incandescent bulbs to low-use areas, where they are seldom on, or only used briefly. Replace the bulbs in high-use areas first.

Make a difference: Come to EcoFest and not only

learn more about energy efficiency — pick up some free bulbs to get you started!

Why does it make a difference to us what happens in Washington, D.C.?

What our government does can seem pretty remote at times, but there are several issues that have a direct effect on our lives and our Earth. We all love the Olympic Mountains, but do you know that you can make a difference with a signature or an email?

Right now, we can protect the ancient forests, rivers and habitat in the Olympics,

which, amazingly, are not permanently protected.

Learn more about this and other important issues at EcoFest.

There is a lot more to learn and lots of fun to be had while learning. How can you resist a day spent with bunnies, chickens and goats? And little green gardeners selling their plants?

It’s all great fun. See you on May 31 at EcoFest.

Big or small, our local creeks and streams play an important role WaterWays I n the beginning of May, a biennial research conference was held in Seattle called the Salish Sea Conference. This event began a number of years ago. It initially focused solely on information about the health of the Puget Sound and its biota.

More recently, it was refocused on the larger con-

of Juan de Fuca and Strait of Georgia and connect the Frazer River, Desolation Sound, the inland waterway between Vancouver Island and the mainland where you find the Gulf Islands and the San Juan Islands, Whidbey Sound, and all of Puget Sound and Hood Canal.

All these bodies of water are connected and researchers and policy makers alike have realized that they influence each other so they all should share the information they collectively have for the system’s benefit.

At this year’s conference, there were many presentations about the Salish Sea’s water quality, aquatic biota, overall health and threats to its main rivers and bays.

However, there was another type of aquatic system that was highlighted with its own session of presentations — lowland streams.

These streams and creeks flow directly into the larger waterways of Puget Sound or the other large bays and

straits.

It turns out there are hundreds of these stream systems and they are important. They represent a huge area of the Puget Sound shoreline. They typically are characterized by relatively low grade (small elevation gains as you move up them) and have creek corridors that are relatively small.

Just because the stream width bank-to-bank may be small does not mean they are draining small watersheds.

In Kitsap, there are 126 of these creeks and they drain the entire landscape. Think about it: we have no major rivers in Kitsap County.

Where does all that rain water go? It either seeps into the ground or it flows

into a creek near you.

Many of these streams support multiple salmon species along with the other wildlife and plant communities and forests. Since orca eat a lot of chinook and they were the first salmon to be listed as endangered in Washington under the Endangered Species Act, chinook are perhaps the most commonly discussed salmon.

While chinook do not spawn in small streams — preferring the gravels for their nests found in large rivers as they grow and mature — they make use of the lowland stream mouths, pocket estuaries and small bays where streams enter saline waters, to rest, feed and grow.

There areas are very important as they move from their natal (birth) stream toward the ocean.

They will then spend their years in the ocean before they return to the Puget Sound as adults. The beach seining that has been done in Apple Tree Cove and in Carpenter Creek has demonstrated the Carpenter Creek estuary is providing food and resting area for chum, pinks, coho, and chinook as well as other

resident fishes and smaller forage fishes that serve themselves as food for other larger fish.

As a matter of fact, our very own Carpenter Creek and its culvert replacement project was featured as one of the lowland streams talked about at the conference.

Stillwaters gave a presentation of the data collected on the sediment changes at the new bridge over the first year of the bridge. The talk was well received and may result in additional scientific study of the estuary in the future.

One other presentation at the lowland streams session of the conference was given by the Wild Fish Conservancy. The conservancy has been performing detailed analyses of streams in Kitsap County to determine if the mapping of Kitsap stream reaches bearing fish are accurate and complete. The conservancy is finding that many are not — and the stream systems are actually larger than originally thought. So there may be much more riparian (stream) habitat than first thought.

All of that habitat will serve to preserve and protect all the fish, birds and critters we have come to expect to be part of our home in nature-rich Kitsap.

So remember: even that lowly creek in your back yard or down the street is important to Puget Sound and the Salish Sea. — Betsy Cooper is a board member and stream monitor at Stillwaters Environmental Education Center. Contact her betsycooper1@gmail.com

t was her third adjustment. She had already endured my chiropractic monologue over the previous two visits, explaining the basics of chiropractic and how it related to her. So I was a bit surprised when, as I was preparing to adjust her, she asked, “Just what is it that you are doing?”

“Doing? I’m adjusting you,” I said matter-of-factly.

“Yes, I realize that,” she returned. “But just what is it that the adjustment is doing?”

I paused a bit disheartened, realizing that my initial communication efforts were completely ineffective.

or altering this timber mark in any way was a crime.

Once the log successfully reached its destination downriver at the sawmill, it was captured by a log boom and then sorted according to its mark before being sawed.

What I didn’t tell you was that conducting a log drive was not a simple dropping of a bundle of logs in a river and bidding them bon voyage. No, actually a log drive was much more complicated.

You see, logs had a tendency to bunch up and get in a tangled mess — clogging the once free-flowing drive and creating the infamous logjam. This was such a problem that men known as log drivers were employed to float with the drive in special boats to ensure that the logs drifted freely.

Log driving was an extremely dangerous job, as the drivers were often

script from the days before wasn’t going to cut it. And then it hit me: An image of a profession from yesteryear sprang forth in my mind.

“What I’m doing — what the adjustment is doing — is breaking up logjams,” I said.

Back in the early days of the logging industry — mid 1800s to early 1900s — the main method of transporting logs to the sawmills was to float them down rivers.

This method was known as log driving and was quite impressive.

Log drives varied in their distances and number of logs transported. While some drives would take four to five days to complete, others would take months. Some drives were known to transport up to 20 million board feet of timber at a time.

Interestingly, each log was “branded” by the timber company that claimed ownership of it. Obliterating

“surfing” the logs with their spiked boots as they moved downstream, jumping from one log to another. As one article stated, “log driving was a profession that was dangerous to life and limb — not just some of the time, but every minute.”

When a log would catch on an obstacle, such as a rock, a logjam would often form. It was the job of the log driver to free it. Freeing up a logjam could, at times, be a daunting task. Some of the jams were rather large, involving tens of thousands of logs, and could back up the river nearly a mile.

Utilizing a firm understanding of physics, strong muscles, extreme agility, and a good set of tools, drivers were often able to “break” a logjam by carefully removing one or more “key logs.”

With especially stubborn logjams, dynamite had to be used.

While not quite as dangerous as the past profes-

spinal Column By thomas lamar, d.c. sion of log driving, the job of chiropractic is similar in that we are ensuring the nervous system is flowing freely. When one or more of the moving bones in the spine gets stuck or jammed out of position, proper nerve flow is impeded and a logjam of sorts is set up. This logjam (or bonejam, known as a subluxation) interferes with normal nerve flow, oftentimes creating pain and dysfunction.

And that, in a sort of woodsy way, is what the adjustment is doing.

Suddenly, I have an urge to put on a plaid shirt.

Does it stay or does it go?

Just Ask Jan D ear Jan: We just got an offer on our house. When we listed, we marked the box that says we have a greenhouse. There is no mention of the greenhouse in the offer. Does that mean we can take it with us, or must we leave it because we marked that box?

—Thanks MMB Dear MMB: Congrats on your sale!

The listing agreements we use in our area are from the NWMLS, or Northwest Multiple Listing Service.

The listing input sheet is full of check boxes; these boxes translate over to words on the different websites. Greenhouses are under a category called “Site Features,” thereby letting buyers know there is a greenhouse on the property.

There is also a category that says “Appliances That Stay.” Just because the box is marked “washer” does not automatically mean the washer stays. It is up to the real estate broker writ-

By jan zufelt

ing the offer to mark the box for “washer” under “Included Items” on the purchase and sales agreement. Otherwise, the sellers can take the washer with them.

There is a whole paragraph that describes included items that must automatically stay — items like blinds, garage door openers, etc. Greenhouses are not one of those items.

Now, in the “Included Items” section there is a box for “Other” and the broker could write in “Greenhouse” on the line next to it. If the seller agrees to the contract and does not cross out the greenhouse and initial it, the greenhouse stays.

Since you say it is now in contract, I feel that the greenhouse now falls into the “It Depends” category.

What kind of greenhouse is it? Is it “attached” to the

land? Is it attached to a building? I am sorry, but because there is verbiage that says “and other fixtures” I would need to see the greenhouse and then possibly have a conversation with my broker or suggest that you seek legal counsel.

I have had this same type of situation come up twice recently, once where the buyers wanted a drawing of the house that was hanging on the wall. They wrote it in on the contract. Because it was a gift to my sellers, they crossed it out and it is now not included in the sale.

In another case, when I walked into the home I was “wowed” by the gorgeous crystal chandelier, I asked the sellers if they planned to leave it. They do not. I shared with them my rule of thumb: If you don’t plan to leave it, take it down and replace it before we put the home on the market because if a buyer sees it they may want it.

Oh, and there is now a place to write in “Excluded Items” in the Purchase

and Sales Agreement. My advice: If in question, write it in.

I know I was not much help here, but perhaps this will help another seller determine what to do before they sell. Best wishes.
