‘50-50’ chance Kingston Food Bank survives

By KIPP ROBERTSON

EDITOR

KINGSTON — It’s about a 50-50 chance the Kingston Food Bank will continue operating after mid-November.

As of late June, food bank director Barb Fulton was skeptical enough money would be raised to pay for another year of rent.

“In the middle of November,

[the lease] is up,” Fulton said. “If we don’t have the funds, I’m probably going to close. I can’t go back into the motor home … I wouldn’t know what else to do.

Fulton said of the food bank’s survival: “It’s about a 50-50 [chance].”

In an effort to raise money to pay rent, the food bank hosts a rummage sale over the last week-

end of every month, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The food bank is located at 26102 Illinois Ave. It is a twostory house next to the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Department unstaffed Kingston office.

The food bank pays Barb Fulton $16,000 a year for rent and utilities, Fulton said.

Karen Tollefson selected out of three finalists KINGSTON — Gordon Elementary School has a new principal.

Karen Tollefson, most recently the principal of White Pass Elementary, will replace Rachel Osborn. The North Kitsap School Board approved the recommendation to hire Tollefson during the June 11 board meeting.

Tollefson will be the third principal at Gordon in the same amount of school years. Claudia Alves transferred to Poulsbo Elementary after the 2011-12 school year. Rachel Osborn was principal in the 2012-13 and 201314 school years.

Osborn resigned as principal April 14, effective the end of the school year. She is leaving to complete her studies for a doctorate.

Tollefson has led White Pass

The last fundraiser the food bank held netted about $350.

Prior to moving into the house on Illinois Avenue, the food bank was operating out of a 22-foot motor home. The food bank was able to afford rent for the house by a grant from the Pam

types of hand-crafted beers: IPAs, pale ales, stouts, porters, wheat beers and recipes unique to the brewery. Customers can sample them in the brewery’s tasting room, through which Williams hopes to sell most of his product.

By brewing the beer in small batches, Downpour Brewing will be able to provide a large selection.

Family and community are a big part of Williams’ vision.

“Whether you come in with friends, your kids, your grandparents, whoever it is, we want them to feel welcome,” Williams said.

Audit: Shortcomings in NKSD accounting

By KIPP ROBERTSON

EDITOR

POULSBO — The North Kitsap School District did not have adequate timecard information to justify nearly $1.5 million in federal funding spent on wages and benefits for special-education program employees in 2012 and 2013, the state auditor’s office reported.

In addition, 64 coupon books sold as part of a school fundraiser are unaccounted for, the community pool failed to keep track of passes sold, and a school didn’t receipt sales at its coffee stand.

The state auditor reported the discrepancies May 27, according to documents obtained by the North Kitsap Herald.

The auditor’s office recommends the district improve its monitoring process of all employees whose wages are covered by federal grants, and improve control over Associated Student Body (ASB)-generated funds and cash handling within the district.

Though he hasn’t “dug into it very deeply,” school board President Dan Weedin said the board was made aware of the auditor’s

findings. He said the findings have not been much of a topic outside a brief conversation.

“The administration informed us that they are working hard to deal with any of the things that have shown up there,” he said.

Weedin said he has “full confidence” in the administration to address the issues.

In the case of the special education program, the district “was unable to provide required time and effort documentation for 11 employees that were fully funded through the program,” according to the auditor’s report.

During fiscal year 2013, the district spent $1,457,099 in federal funding on its special education program, according to the auditor’s office. Of that amount, $1,412,724 was used to pay salaries and benefits.

The auditor’s office reviewed payroll transactions to determine whether salaries and benefits charged to federal grants were supported by proper documentation, such as time sheets. The district was unable to provide proper documentation and

“did not follow its normal process to ensure employees submitted semi-annual certification,” according to the auditor’s report. The district requested the information from the employees, “but did not follow up to make sure the documentation was received,” according to the report.

The auditor’s office was ultimately able to verify the work by the employees was done entirely within special education, so the district does not face penalties.

If the auditor’s office had not been able to verify the employees’ information, the district could have been in noncompliance with grant requirements, “jeopardize future federal funding.”

The federal government would have stepped in to determine if the district would have to pay back any, or all the money, said Adam Wilson, communications manager for the Washington State Auditor’s office.

“In our experience, it’s unusual to require [money to be paid back],” Wilson said.

Cash handling was insufficient A review of the money

the district reported receiving during the fiscal year 2012 and fiscal year 2013 fiscal years found five discrepancies; four of the discrepancies occurred at Kingston High School.

The auditor’s office found the district could not account for 855 gift cards out of 1,600 being sold by the Kingston High School football program. The missing gift cards, valued at $17,100, were being sold for a fundraiser. The district reported 745 cards sold for a total of $14,900.

“The cards were not adequately tracked when checked out to the students to sell, making it difficult to determine the quantity of cards sold from the record retained,” the auditor’s report states.

The Kingston High School wrestling team conducted a coupon-book sale fundraiser. The auditor’s office found that of the 200

the auditor’s report. “There was no revenue received by the district for the sale of the T-shirts.”

The Kingston High School student store was found to not receipt sales for its coffee stand, according to the report. The coffee stand did not inventory cups to determine what the expected sales should be. Instead of receipts, the money was counted and receipted as a batch.

coupon books, 100 were “lost.” The auditor’s office found that 36 students were fined for missing coupon books. Sixty-four books remain unaccounted for.

The auditor’s office also found a non-district employee signed for two purchases for trophies and T-shirts.

The orders were shipped to a personal address, which violates district policy. “The district was not able to provide receiving information or inventory of the products purchased,” according to

Help Kingston Food Bank keep its home F or seven months, the Kingston Food Bank has had a home from which to help local people who need food. That’s thanks to a grant from the Pam Foster and Liz Austin Fund, a donor-advised fund managed by the Seattle Foundation.

The Kingston Food Bank opened its doors at 26102 Illinois Ave., a two-story house next to the Sheriff’s Department, on Nov. 25, in time to prepare and distribute 60 Thanksgiving dinner boxes.

Food Bank director Barb Fulton said in an earlier interview that the grant is “an answer to our prayers,” and it’s the largest gift ever made to the food bank. Foster and Austin hope the grant spurs other giving that can permanently end the food bank’s odyssey.

The grant covered the food bank’s rent for one year.

Kingston Food Bank clients live closer to the downtown core and are mostly older, homeless or pedestrian. “Ninety percent of our clients walk,” Bill Fulton said. In contrast, ShareNet serves a larger area — Kingston, Eglon, Hansville, Indianola, Little Boston, Port Gamble, and some border addresses in Poulsbo and Suquamish.

Kingston Food Bank supporters include The Pizza Factory, which donates ice; The Grub Hut, which donates fruits and vegetables; and The Borrowed Kitchen, which donates bread.

The organization had to move out of its longtime home in December 2012 after the county determined the building — which is owned by the county — did not meet codes. The food bank was given a place to stay until April 2013 by Windermere Real Estate, then moved into Fulton’s 22-foot motor home and went mobile. In October 2013, Fulton moved the food bank into her husband’s small-engine repair shop at 29630 Rash Road, off Parcells Road, three miles from downtown, out of reach for many of the food bank’s clients. Then, the grant from Foster and Austin came to the rescue.

Help keep a great thing going; give to the Kingston Food Bank. The hours are noon to 3 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays. The phone numbers are 297-4861 and 297-7100.

Community came through for kids The North Kitsap community has again shown its generosity and care by supporting the Food for Kids Program.

Each summer, when school gets out, children go hungry because they do not have access to the free breakfast and lunch program provided during the school year. The Food for Kids Program, jointly sponsored by the Greater Kingston Kiwanis, KingstonNorth Kitsap Rotary, the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe, and ShareNet and Kingston food banks, seeks to mitigate this problem by providing food packs to children in critical need. Last year, nearly 80 children and youth were served.

This year, thanks to community generosity, we have the resources to serve even more.

The Greater Kingston Kiwanis sponsored a Benefit Concert and Beer Fest on June 7 to raise funds for the Food for Kids Program.

While we received much teasing about pairing kids and beer on our advertising, the posters did succeed in raising awareness of the need and the event. The turnout at the Beer Fest was terrific and attendees gave generously.

The Benefit Concert and Beer Fest could not have been so successful, however, without the very generous donations made to the program by the musicians, The Blues Counselors, and the breweries: Der Blokken Brewery, Hood Canal Brewery, Sound Brewery, and Valholl Brewing. CB Nuts donated peanuts for the beer garden.

We are also appreciative of the donations for raffle items from the following businesses: the Axe Handle Cafe, Pizza Factory, the Oak Table Cafe, Columbia Bank, Karen Hart Skin Care, Harbor Hair Design, the Firehouse Theater, Kingston Fitness, Kingston Adventures, White Horse

Golf Course, and CB Nuts.

Donations were also received from Little Kitchen Catering, Scoops Bavarian Bratwurst, and The Painted Zebra Face Painting.

In-kind contributions to the event were made by the Port of Kington, the Kingston Chamber of Commerce, Blue Sky Printing, and the KingstonNorth Kitsap Rotary.

This coming together of the community to meet the needs of our children is one indicator of why North Kitsap is such a great place to live.

Persons still wishing to donate to Food for Kids may send their check to Greater Kingston Kiwanis Foundation, P.O. Box 830, Kingston, WA 98346.

The Kingston Kiwanis Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit and all donations are tax deductable.

Kingston Community News The newspaper of Kingston, Eglon, Hansville, Indianola, Little Boston and Port Gamble since 1983.

Circulation: 9,050 Online: KingstonCommunityNews.com

We, the residents of Kingston, have been privileged to have Thriftway/ IGA and Rick Bjarnson play a sizable supporting role in most community fundraisers. My family has had firsthand experience in working with Rick and the 4th of July’s Tiny Town Event.

For the first 15 years we were involved, the Kingston Thriftway donated and supported the Tiny Town board in its efforts to put on a first-class children’s fair.

The big box stores and corporate-owned retail outlets enjoy competing intensely with local stores.

I have been told of the grocery consolidation in the western United States. A chain store in our local market has 13 linked stores in operation. A small business like our local grocer has taken a high risk to serve us for all these years.

Steve, the store manager at Kingston IGA, and his crew have the store looking sharp, clean, neatly stocked with fresh produce, and milk and perishables, providing fast, friendly, courteous checkout and customer assistance.

The Kingston store with its excellent staff provided “ship’s stores” for our commercial fishing boats that harvest in the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea. The provi-

manipulate the fears of our citizenry so that these huge enterprises can expand their already bloated budgets.

But we do not have to accept this for the Kingston 4th of July fireworks expenditures, which match the percentages of our bloated Pentagon budgets — aka more than 50 percent of total tax or donations spending are spent into “fireworks,” per se.

Someday, the dots will become connected and what will then be understood is that the Pentagon has swapped the meaning of the Fourth of July celebration of breaking away from the Crown, and is now actively using the holiday for major recruitment into militarism.

And if that still doesn’t resonate with you, just look what is driven up to Mike Wallace Park over the holiday — the Pentagon’s mobile recruitment trailers and personnel. This includes little toy militarized cars so that 4-, 5- and 6-yearolds can get used to militarism, and drag racers to appeal to the testosterone out there. Now, that’s some clever psy op stuff!

How about we hire a local

acting company to re-enact the Boston Tea Party, substituting Apple Tree Cove and the marina’s docks for those in Boston Harbor?

This will bring more truth to our own history and context to our youth regarding why our nation started.

How about we schedule some music that has some meaning regarding war, peace, environmentalism and justice? Don’t forget music for dancing, gatherings, joy and fun. Kids should play guitars and sing in lieu of playing toy soldier and singing war chants.

How about we support the local skateboard scene by having a competition called Skateboarding for Peace, and offer some neat prizes?

How about we hire the

local tribes to offer Native dances, celebrations, powwows and spoken-word gatherings to retell their important stories about their environmentally respectful histories and forms of government?

How about Canoes/ Longboats for Peace, Sailing for Peace, Coed Softball for Peace, Equestrians for Peace, Kites for Peace, Beer Gardens for Peace — even you for peace?

Why does this country have to stand for warring, economic injustice, corporatism, and anti-environmentalism? Why can’t we spend most of our time doing the exact opposite?

Brushing up on Washington’s European past W

ell, Independence Day is here. Don’t miss Kingston’s grand July 4th parade and festivities. Everyone will be there.

The reason behind our festivities is, of course, related to America winning the Revolution against Britain.

Sometimes, this part of history can seem far away from us in Washington state.

So what was going on in this area while the Revolution was happening, from 1775 to 1783?

First, Native Americans were here long, long before Europeans or Americans began claiming territories, we all know that. And it deserves its own column(s).

1774 brought our first documented EuroAmerican history with the Spanish expedition of Juan Perez along our coast.

Four years later, we were brought to the attention of Great Britain by its explorer, Capt. James Cook, who

as it turns out By marylin olds opened up the first maritime fur trade in our area.

In 1792, British explorer George Vancouver mapped out Puget Sound (named for his second lieutenant Peter Puget) the same year American fur trader Robert Gray established American claims to the Columbia River (named for Gray’s ship).

The Pacific Northwest started out as “Oregon Country,” named by the Americans. Oregon’s name

is thought to have been originated from the French term for hurricane, “ouragan,” for their description of the Columbia Gorge.

Other early American claims include the 1805 Lewis and Clark expedition down the Columbia to the Pacific, commissioned

by President Thomas Jefferson; and the 1811 establishment of John Jacob Astor’s “Astoria,” founded by his American Fur Company.

From 1818 to 1846, a joint occupancy treaty was granted for the U.S. and Britain along the Columbia River.

In 1824, Fort Vancouver was established by the British Hudson’s Bay Company, which became a significant power in the area through the 1830s, their intent being to maintain the territory north of the Columbia for Britain.

After 1840, large wagon trains began successfully bringing settlers via the

Oregon Trail to the Oregon Country.

In 1844, “Fifty-four forty or fight” was used as a campaign slogan by James Polk, expansionist Democratic presidential candidate, to show he was behind getting the British out of the Oregon Country.

The “Manifest Destiny” catchphrase was also used asserting the U.S. claim to all of the Oregon Country, from the 49th parallel up to Russian America’s southern border (later to become Alaska), parallel 54°40’ north.

After the Oregon Treaty of 1846 and President Polk’s 1848 signing of the act, the Oregon Territory was created, fixing the northern border at the 49th parallel, our present boundary.

Included in the newly formed Oregon Territory were Oregon, Washington, Idaho and parts of Montana and Wyoming west of the continental divide.

Washington Territory was established in 1853 following President Millard Fillmore’s signing of the bill. It was formed after the Oregon Territory was divided and included at that time present-day Washington, northern Idaho and a bit of Montana. It later expanded to include all of Idaho and a western bit of Wyoming when Oregon became a state.

Washington Territory’s proposed name upon requesting to become a territory was “Territory of Columbia.” However that bill was amended in the House because of its similarity to the pre-existing “District of Columbia” (the formal name for the nation’s capital established in 1790) and the confusion it would bring. “Washington” was instead used to honor George Washington.

First territorial governor Isaac Stevens designated Olympia as its capital.

July 2014

Oregon was admitted to the Union in 1859 as the 33rd state.

Gold was discovered in present-day northern Idaho, bringing more settlers into that area. Since Olympia was too far from the action, Idaho Territory was formed in 1863, establishing Washington’s new eastern border.

Washington became the 42nd state of the United States in 1889, the only state to be named after a president.

The Kingston Food Bank operates out of a twostory building on Illinois Avenue, thanks to a donation from Pam Foster and Liz Austin that allowed them to rent the building for a year. The food bank is now trying to fundraise to afford another year of rent.

Williams has signed the lease on the building and has an approved liquor license.

He is still waiting for permits before he’ll be able to do any brewing, but he hopes to introduce himself and his business during the Fourth of July celebrations and do some kickstarting in the coming months.

Once open, Williams plans to donate a portion of the monthly sales to local nonprofits.

“Bringing new businesses to town is critical to growing economic vitality,” said Nancy Langwith of the Greater Kingston Economic Development Committee.

According to a survey done by the committee, Kingston residents want more things to do downtown; a brewery would be good for residents, as well as for attracting visitors passing through the port, Langwith said.

Journey

Continued from page 1 They’ll travel through territory so beautiful it will be impossible to forget: rugged, forested coastlines; island-dotted straits and narrow, glacier-carved passages; through Johnstone Strait, home of the largest resident pod of orcas in the world; along the shores of the Great Bear Rainforest, one of the largest remaining tracts of unspoiled temperate rainforest left in the world.

They’ll also travel waters that are increasingly polluted and under threat.

Pullers will travel the marine highways of their ancestors, past Victoria, which dumps filtered, untreated sewage into the Salish Sea. They’ll travel the routes U.S. energy company Kinder Morgan plans to use to ship 400 tanker loads of tar sands oil each year.

Canoes traveling from the north will pass the inlets leading to Kitimat, where crude oil from Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline would be loaded onto tankers bound for Asia; Canada approved the pipeline project on June 17. Canoes from the Lummi Nation near Bellingham will pass Cherry Point, a sacred and environmentally sensitive area where Gateway Pacific proposes a coal train terminal; early site preparation was done without permits and desecrated ancestral burials.

Young activist Ta’kaiya Blaney of the Sliammon First Nation sang of her

fears of potential environmental damage to come in her song, “Shallow Waters”: “Come with me to the emerald sea / Where black gold spills into my ocean dreams.

“Nothing to be found, no life is around / It’s just the sound of mourning in the air.”

Native leaders hope the Canoe Journey calls public attention to the fragility of this environment.

“We need to wake up to what’s happening to Mother Earth,” said Cecile Hansen, chairwoman of the Duwamish Tribe and a great-great-grandniece of Chief Seattle.

“We’re the indigenous people of the land. If anybody should be raising that flag, it should be Native Americans.”

Suquamish Chairman

Leonard Forsman is pulling in the Suquamish canoe to Bella Bella.

“The Journey is a cultural, spiritual, ceremonial and social event,” he said.

“The Journey can provide a platform for expressing our Tribal values that include habitat protection and improving or protecting water quality. Decisions on if and how to participate in political expressions are decisions made by each Tribal canoe family individually.”

Micah McCarty is a former chairman of the Makah Nation and a member of the board of First Stewards, which seeks to unite indigenous voices to collaboratively advance adaptive cli-

mate-change strategies.

He sees the Canoe Journey as an exercise in Tribal sovereignty, particularly in the realm of environmental education.

U.S. v. Washington, also known as the Boldt decision, reaffirmed that Treaty Tribes had reserved for themselves 50 percent of the annual finfish harvest; a later court decision extended that to include shellfish. In addition, Boldt established the state and Treaty Tribes as fisheries co-managers.

“The state-Tribal co-management relationship relative to … U.S. v. Washington is more effectively built on Tribal governments assuming more and more

of the federal trust responsibility in the spirit of selfgovernance and by directly investing in Tribally determined education,” he said.

“Native sovereignty is as good as it is practiced and implemented. No one else can do this for us, and the best investment in sovereignty is education by Indian sovereign design -including curriculum pertaining to treaty resource damages [caused by] climate change and carbon pollution, particularly in the form of carbonic acid.”

“There are sustainable ways of living on this earth,” said Joey Holmes, education and docent programs manager for the Suquamish Museum. “Corporations are opposing higher rates of fish consumption because that means they’d have to lower their pollution levels. They should be thinking seven generations out. Higher pollution levels affect all of our migrational fish runs, and that affects Native and nonNative people.”

Laura Price, skipper of the Port Gamble S’Klallam Canoe Family, was succinct in what she believes the takeaway is from the Canoe Journey.

“We have to leave the earth better than when we received it,” she said.

The Canoe Journey is itself a tool to monitor the health of the sea. In each Canoe Journey since 2008, in partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey, several See Journey, Page 10

The Key to Prevention

W

hen domestic violence is in the news, it’s usually after the worst has happened: a violent assault, an injured child, a murder. So it’s no surprise that when we think about domestic violence interventions we think about police, courts, and hospitals. But what about the role each of us can play? Many of us have either experienced abuse in our own relationships or know someone who has. And often we don’t know what to do about it.

Fortunately, in this community, and in every community across Washington State, there is a local domestic violence program: a place where anyone can call—privately and at no cost—to talk with someone about concerns, options, and safety. You don’t have to be the person experiencing abuse to call. Advocates are there to talk with friends and family, neighbors and c o w o r k e r s — a ny o n e — about how to be supportive if someone turns to you for help.

But what if we didn’t have to wait until things were awful to intervene? What if we could stop this violence before it started? Domestic violence is preventable and talking with people of all ages about relationships is a key part of prevention.

No one is too young or too old to think about what a healthy relationship looks and feels like. It’s never too early, and it’s never too late, to talk about how we deserve to be treated.

Conversations build expectations, and talking with our loved ones lets us in on what they’re going through.

Imagine how much easier it would be for our friends to turn to us for help if talking about our relationships was something we already did.

To find the domestic violence program in your community, visit wscadv. org or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800787-3224 (TTY).

That was FAB scholarship winner Alex Quarrell, an actor who, according to Pam Laing, English/drama instructor, “[i]s diligent and focused about his character portrayals. He is a well-rounded, dependable, mature and dedicated young man.”

Kudos to KHS grad planners; upcoming Hansville events

I

happen to be lucky enough to be neighbors with a recent graduate of Kingston High School.

This special girl is off to college in Colorado in the fall and (although I can’t claim any credit) she is the personification of what we all hope our youth and upcoming generation will be. She’s kind, smart, has a great sense of humor, and did I mention she is beautiful?

But the reason I wanted to tell you this is to send kudos to the planners of this graduation ceremony. With a lovely presentation of the Honor Song by Suquamish and S’Klallam Tribal members, five speeches, the entrance procession and handing out diplomas to 200 seniors, it only lasted two hours. Just long enough.

Good job, graduates and Kingston High School.

Now … Did you know July is a very fun-packed month here in Hansville?

hansville happenings By donna lee anderson On July 4, you can attend the Red, White & Blue Breakfast at the Hansville Community Center and see the Boot Scootin’ Grannies and then go to the parade in Kingston.

Then, the Rummage Sale drop off is on July 12.

On July 26, you can invite your relatives and friends to come do the Ladies Aid Garden Tour with you. As you probably already know,

this is an annual event and I got a little advance description so you’ll know what these six gardens are presenting. One is a plant collector’s garden, one is a stylized Japanese pole house with large garden, and one is an intimate beach garden.

One is full of ponds, water features and sculptures on acreage, another is professionally landscaped acreage, and one has a beautiful perennial collection. You can buy tickets for the garden tour at the Hansville Store or from a Ladies Aid member.

Now as if that isn’t enough excitement, the Dragonfly Nursery on Hansville Road is having a Garden Art Festival with an amazing raffle of garden art.

Enjoy this month and stay safe.

Like its electric car, the port keeps things moving T

since November to create another great holiday festival for everyone to enjoy.

Last I heard, they were struggling for funding this year. If you have the opportunity, try to put a few bucks (or a big check) in one of those jars around town.

The flower baskets are up and looking good.

That’s another piece of our beauty that is handled by volunteers. Local residents and businesses contribute money to care for the baskets, volunteers take care of watering and the Port of Kingston provides the little green Gator to carry the water. Where would Kingston be without so many dedicated volunteers?

I checked the mileage on the port’s little white electric Gem car the other day.

his is the month we all wait for.

The rain is gone, the sun is out, and Kingston is one of the best places on earth when that happens.

Actually, that’s true yearround.

Every Saturday from now until Labor Day, there will be a concert down at the port.

The Events Committee — a part of our Kingston Chamber of Commerce — begins finding sponsorships and scheduling these events very early in the year. When you patronize the businesses that sponsor and promote these events, be sure to tell them how much you appreciate their support.

The Kingston Fourth of July Celebration committee has been working hard

Down at the Port By pete deboer It’s got about 850 miles on the odometer. Now, that might not seem to be a big number of miles for a car, but when you realize that the average trip made by that little rig is less than half a mile, that is a lot of shopping trips.

Our guests in the marina, which I like to call our 49-room hotel, use the car to visit the businesses in town. They buy groceries, hardware, auto parts, baked goods, beverages, ice, fishing licenses, bait and dozens of other items. I like seeing that car roaming around our streets. I don’t know of a business owner who does not enjoy seeing it parked in front of their door.

To update you on a few projects: the dredge is progressing ahead, but we are still dealing with the issue of when to transplant the eelgrass over to our “nursery” outside the breakwater.

We are still hoping to get the whole thing completed before the end of the year.

Our final grant application to create the destina-

tion park on Washington Boulevard will be submitted next month. If we are successful in our quest, construction could start early next year.

The Kingston Express is still being sought by the New Orleans Transit Authority. This is their first project working with the Federal Transit Administration and these things take time. Hopefully by this time next year, that boat will be plying the waters of the Mississippi River.

The little park that we made on West Kingston Road should be open to the public by the time you read this. I think this one turned out pretty nice. Gardening is a year-round project in the port. I think that Ray

and the crew have done a great job with the place.

OK, it looks like we are getting close to the edge of the page. So this month’s Nautical Term is actually two words: “Veering and backing.” When the change in the direction of the wind goes clockwise, like shifting from north to westerly, it is veering. A counterclockwise shift for instance from north to easterly is known as backing.

So, that’s about it for this month. Thanks for taking the time to read this stuff and I hope you found something interesting or informative.

Continued from page 10 commitment to theater.”

Alex has participated in 19 productions.

Alex says this about himself: “Theater changed my life forever. I was born with a disability. I was very selfconscious and didn’t have a lot of confidence. The stage was a place where appearance didn’t matter.

“My Options teacher, Bob DeWeese, told me, ‘It’s not you that the audience sees, it’s the character you create [that] they see.’ That allows me to be fearless on stage.”

Alex plans to go to Western Oregon University to study theater and American Sign Language interpretation. He will pur-

sue a career as a theatrical interpreter.

Now for the miracle! It happened on June 12. At the last minute, FAB was saved by four parents of KHS Arts (music, visual arts, drama and debate) students.

FAB moves forward thanks to the devotion and persistence of the retiring FAB board president and treasurer, Mary and Thom Montgomery, community arts advocates; arts teachers James Andrews and Alison Roberts; and debate coach Lasica Crane.

A new board with enthusiasm is in place: Patty Fliege, president; Piper Ragland, secretary; Tamera Rabura, treasurer; and Carmen Gale, vice president/fundraising. They are ready to roll.

Tips for keeping your pets safe in the summer heat: · Offer a plastic kiddie pool filled with fresh, cool water for dogs to wade and relax in · Freeze low-sodium chicken broth and offer a “pupscicle” treat on hot afternoons · Exercise in the morning or evening when the temperatures are cooler · Always have fresh water on hand to keep hydrated · And, never, ever, ever leave a dog in a parked car, not even for just a few minutes or with the windows cracked.

n July 13, thousands will see the end of an epic journey.

While that sounds like the start of a blockbuster movie, it’s not (but could be…). It’s a decades-old event that celebrates a timeless tradition of Northwest Coast indigenous peoples.

The 2014 Canoe Journey/ Paddle to Bella Bella will bring hundreds of canoes and thousands of people to the Heiltsuk Nation in British Columbia. The procession of canoes and pullers move from host tribe to host tribe, asking permission to come ashore at each stop. After a night of good food and hospitality, they carry on, arms pumping endlessly, gliding through the water to their next destination. All of the canoes are expected to arrive in British Columbia on July 13 and will stay as guests of the Heiltsuk Nation until July 19.

This year’s Canoe Journey is significant because it represents the first time it has returned to Bella Bella since 1993, when Canoe Journey became an annual celebration. The first journey — Paddle to Seattle — was in 1989 with only nine participating canoes, one of which was from the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe.

The Canoe Journey is an experience like few others.

As PGST Canoe Skipper Laura Price was quoted in our history book, “The Strong People”: “That thirteen-day canoe journey to Bella Bella (in 1993) changed my life. It opened the doorway for me being S’Klallam. The experi-

Noo-Kayet Our Village

By Jeromy Sullivan ence helped build the foundation, passion and commitment in me to preserve, perpetuate, and celebrate our rich cultural heritage for our present and future generations.

“I admire and deeply respect our ancestors who by their resiliency and strength we owe all this amazing rich culture to.

Canoe journeys happen every year now. They bring strength to our people by giving us a way to connect to our culture. We gain confidence, pride, respect and identity. We know where we belong and are given an opportunity to learn and grow.”

Canoes are a prime connection between the old world and the new. In pretreaty times, the type of multi-day and week trips that seem so ambitious for the Canoe Journey were just a way of life. Tribes

in this area used canoes to travel all over for trading, to connect with family and friends, and to move with the seasons. They were experts of the water and the weather, understanding the tides and currents.

Occasionally, white settlers would hire S’Klallams for this expertise. For example, Edwin Eells, an Indian agent at Skokomish, hired a S’Klallam crew to take him through the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It was winter and on the way back, they hit a fierce storm and, as recounted in “The Strong People,” “Ells was sure he would perish. The S’Klallams, he reported, kept up a wild chant as they maneuvered the canoe skillfully through the storm, and guided him to safe water.

He was very grateful, for he was sure he was going to die that day.”

While canoes are no longer a main source of transportation, they still play an important role in the celebration of our culture.

Canoe Journey is a reflection of this.

I want to leave you with this — the “Ten Rules of the

Canoe.” They show, I think, how canoeing can reflect the principles of life: 1.) Every stroke we take is one less we have to make.

Keep going!

2.) There is to be no abuse of self or others.

Respect and trust cannot exist in anger. It has to be thrown overboard, so the sea can cleanse it.

3.) Be flexible. The adaptable animal survives.

4.) The gift of each enriches us all. Every story is important. The bow, the stern, the skipper, the power puller in the middle — everyone is part of the movement.

5.) We all pull and support each other. Nothing occurs in isolation.

6.) A hungry person has no charity. Always nourish yourself. The bitter person, thinking that sacrifice means self-destruction, shares mostly anger.

7.) Experiences are not enhanced through criticism. Who we are, how we are, what we do, why we continue flourish with tolerance.

8.) The journey is what we enjoy. Being part of the journey requires great preparation; being done with a journey requires great awareness; being on the journey, we are much more than ourselves.

9.) A good teacher allows the students to learn. We can berate each other, try to force each other to understand, or we can allow each paddler to gain awareness through the ongoing journey.

10.) When given any choice at all, be a worker bee — make honey!

Keep ’em busy and your closet c lean But beware the leaking markers

S

ummertime, and the kids are home.

Libby, 16, said she was bored, so I asked her to help me clean out a closet.

Our game/art/school supplies closet received a good tidying a while back, but had returned to its natural, cluttered state. I guess I wasn’t decisive enough in getting rid of things during the last purge. Libby, however, does not have a problem with indecisiveness.

Sung to the traveling salesmen’s tune from “The Music Man”: Gone, gone, GONE went the pencils that were sharpened down to nubbins.

GONE went the puzzles that were missing half the pieces. GONE are the glitter pens and old manila files.

What do ya talk? What do ya talk? What do ya talk?

Anyway, it’s true. She was a dynamo, recycling unusable papers, chucking broken ballpoint pens. I made some pitiful arguments on why we needed to keep certain items, but finally got

Roundabout By denise Roundy out of the way and let her have at it.

Grabbing a large container of markers, I set about checking each pen’s usefulness on a sheet of scratch paper. I wasn’t paying too much attention to my own task, just watching Libby slinging items into the trash and recycle bins. Maybe if I’d been watching more closely, I would have seen that one of the markers was leaking, apparently one of the blue ones. Even when I did notice, I didn’t worry too much that my hands were turning blue. They’re all washable markers.

Watching this lively young lady, I felt tired, and nervous. Even as a teenager, I don’t think I ever had

her energy and determination. Without the demands of a busy school schedule to direct her vigor and vim, she needed an outlet. My closet clutter felt the brisk discipline of a girl who is not inclined to fret over grubby erasers and frayed Pee Chee folders. It was both liberating and terrifying to see things go.

Libby held up boxes of math cards.

“Do we still need these?” she asked. No, we don’t.

There are no longer kids in our house who need to memorize their multiplication facts. Goodbye, flashcards! It’s been a good run, and I’ll miss you.

Also gone are torn notebook dividers, grimy note cards, dried up gel pens, mucky glitter glue, orphaned pen caps, broken crayons, ripped binders, broken rulers …

In answer to the question you are probably asking, why was I keeping all that? Because of Just In Case, You Never Know, and Waste Not, Want Not. Also, those broken rulers and crayons still worked, you know?

Libby also launched

an attack on our Fun Doohickey box. This is where I store odds and ends that Jacob or Dirk might use for quick repairs, or robot building, depending on which one is in need.

Among the Fun Doohickeys are broken alarm clock parts, toy remnants, screws, washers, springs, and bits of string. Also, duct tape.

Libby asked if we could just change the box’s name to Garbage, and toss the whole lot of it. But no, of all the things I let Libby remove from the closet, the Fun Doohickey box remains intact.

That was my day. Tonight I sit, a bit dazed. I’m glad Libby had a productive summer day, glad the closet is clean and organized. I won’t say it was easy. I know behind the white door in the next room there is order, and a reasonable number of pens and pencils. For some reason, though, it feels too soon to open the door and face it. Maybe tomorrow.

By then the garbage and recycling will be picked up, and the kids and I will take a load to Goodwill. I think I’ll wear blue, to match my hands. “Washable markers”

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT - MIKE HALEY Hi to all of you; this is the monthly progress report from the Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce.

The Event Season is officially underway! We kicked it off with our annual Wine Walk and what a good time we had. Almost 400 of us attended and we raised over $4,000 to be used this year for Kingston Cove Events.

A Scavenger Hunt jointly sponsored by your chamber and Village Green was also a great hit and money was raised to benefit the Village Green growth.

On July fifth the Victory Music Festival will take over with another joint venture with the Essential Audio Group filling the harbor with lots of music and fun. There will be food, the Rotary Beer Garden and the proceeds will benefit Coffee Oasis and The Children’s Hospital. Don’t miss it!

And remember there will be no monthly luncheon nor after hours function during the month of July.

Enjoy and I will see you in Kingston.

The Kingston Fourth Celebration is almost here with the parade, fireworks, music, and all the rides and fun you have come to expect.

Look for our Person of the Year and cheer him on for a job well done!

Cheers, Mike Haley, president Rogers Family Insurance 360-509-9178 mike@rogersfamilyinsurance.com

2014 KINGSTON PERSON OF THE YEAR Each year the Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce selects Kingston’s “Person of the Year”.

Our mission as a chamber is to encourage and promote the interests of the business community through definition, development and implementation of programs and services which enhance economic activity and the quality of life for the Greater Kingston Community.

Our “Person of the Year” is someone that has consistently gone “above and beyond” with their time and talents to make Kingston a great place to live, work and conduct business. This year, we are very pleased to present Rick Bjarnson, longtime Kingstonian and business owner, with our 2014 Kingston’s Person of the year award.

True to form, Rick was hesitant to accept this title. He is not one to seek accolades for his generosity and it took some arm twisting for me to convince him that it means a lot to his community to be able to publicly acknowledge our appreciation for all that he has done. For over 35 years, Rick has been contributing money, food, beverages and time to nearly every local charitable organization that has asked him including Kingston’s 4th of July Celebration, The Village Green Foundation, Kingston’s Summer Concerts, NK Little League, NK Boys & Girls Club, The Scouts, all of the Kingston Schools, Adults Rec. Soccer, Kitsap Arts & Crafts… the list goes on. Now that Rick is moving on, we very much want to say “Thank You”.

Rick grew up in Bellingham, WA. He moved his young family to Kingston in 1978 when he bought the A & M Food Center located on Hwy. 104. A fire destroyed the store and some adjacent businesses including the Post Office, a pharmacy and a liquor store on July 2, 1990. This could have been a death sentence for the small businesses but Rick got right to work rebuilding the new Thriftway and the Kingston Center Complex into what it is today. Rick bought a second store in Marysville and Thriftway became Kingston IGA about 5 years ago. He closed his Marysville location and has very recently sold the Kingston store.

I talked with Mike Hayes, an employee at the Kingston IGA for 20 years. He told me this: “Rick is real fun to work with. He does a lot for the community but he also does a lot for his employees and doesn’t ask for anything in return. He even helped cover expenses for one of our employees when her family had an unexpected tragedy. The way he is, makes all of us want to be great at our jobs, to reflect his standards and protect his legacy. I think he should be Person of The Decade!”

While his presence at the IGA will be certainly be a loss, we must all look on the bright side. We have gained a newly retired guy and everyone knows, you don’t retire in Kingston, you just become a professional volunteer! Congratulations and Thank You Rick Bjarnson!

Our club has sold berries for many years and awarded thousands of dollars in scholarships. It is very rewarding when our scholarship recipients return after their freshman year and relate how well they did. This leads me into highlighting a little bit about our current scholarship winners. It was a very difficult choice this year because we had such good candidates, but the final

to make the cut. Here are some of the reasons these students won our scholarships: n Tatianna Finch has more than two pages of community service in her resume, as well as numerous school leadership positions, sports programs including soccer and cross country, Key Club membership, and support of our Kiwanis projects and local food banks. She worked hard to get good grades and still managed to work at Cup & Muffin to save money for college.

Tatianna was a member of 4H and raised champion pigs. When she sold her pigs, she donated part of her earnings to the Kiwanis food bank program.

Tatianna’s last pig before she started high school was a beauty, and she donated the entire profit from her pig to ShareNet. n Jennifer Ryder is also a 4-H member and was in numerous leadership positions within the organization, such as assistant 4-H book superintendent. She supervised and participated in work parties that focused on painting and repairing the rabbit barn, which allowed Kitsap County to save some money.

Jennifer packaged meal bags for low-income youth and helped raise about $1,200 to purchase food to fill the meal bags and packed shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child.

She participated on mission

She raised money for UNICEF in October, and helped with the annual Kiwanis Halloween Carnival and the Kiwanis Apple Cup food drive. Jenny also worked at the February Kiwanis Gala, which supports the Boys and Girls Club, and participated in drug- and alcoholprevention outreach programs at her school.

Get on board with planning our ferry system’s future and get answers to all your ferry questions July 6-8 p.m. in the Kingston Community Center.

About every five years, WSF puts together a LongRange Plan. While the plan inevitably gets blue-penciled by events (like tying up the Steel Electrics) and by the Legislature (like “We got no money honey!”), the plan is nonetheless the starting point.

This 12-month undertaking will be explained that Too bad we always hear about the small minority of young people that aren’t so community minded.

Each year, we trek up to the berry fields in Snohomish County in Kiwanis member Dave Wetter’s truck to bring back delicious, fresh blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. Dave and his sidekick, “Big” Larry Anderson, bring them home to Kingston, making sure we all have fresh berries. The buyer not only gets the satisfaction of supporting the young people in our community with scholarships, but the consumer is able to enjoy healthy and delicious treats all year.

It’s a great deal. Ten pounds of blueberries costs $34; much better than $4

On Kingston-Edmonds, they’ll be looking at what’s going to replace our Jumbo ferries: several smaller ferries like the boat that Rex Carlaw talks about below, or a new generation of supersized ferries. WSF will also be looking at technologies to save money like LNG, and management strategies to stretch out our ferry capacity, like reservations and devious fare policies.

Interim ferries chief Capt. George Capacci was master of ceremonies, joined by shipyard officials, state Department of the event — great music, food and beer, and fabulous weather. We couldn’t have done it without donations, such as the music by the Blues Counselors; beer by Valholl, Sound, Der Blokken and Hood Canal breweries; peanuts from CB’s Nuts; and all the other local businesses that gave gifts for the raffle.

Thanks also goes to the Kingston-North Kitsap Rotary for the use of their tables and chairs and support, and the Port of Kingston for the use of their tent and Mike Wallace Park.

Transportation directors, administrative staff of the Ferries Division, politicians, and Ferry Advisory Committee members. The Samish Nation and seafaring chanters sang between speeches, and rounds of applause were held for the shipyards and shipwrights, legislators, and ferry service.

The vessel will carry 144

cars and 1,500 passengers.

That means the car deck capacity is the same as the older superferries — Hyak, Kaleetan, Yakima, Elwha — but the passenger count doesn’t compare with the original 2,600 maximum on the supers. Speed will be 17 knots, also lower than the old 144s. Because of See Ferry, Page 24

The Tokitae has many electrical power outlets and tables for commuters and features an expansive sundeck with seating glassed in on three sides, providing unobstructed views. However, because of manning requirements

from the Coast Guard, the sundeck will be closed on the short Mukilteo-Clinton (12-minute crossing) route.

How about some plastic with your sand?

WaterWays

By BETSY COOPER

O

ne of the things marine researchers (and those of us that spend time on the beach) have begun to take notice of is the plastic everywhere.

Unfortunately, the plastic things we use every day break down very slowly. If the plastic finds its way to our marine waters, which is pretty easy via stormwater, through treated sewage or disposal directly into the water, it hangs around a good long time.

Unknowingly, some of us are even contributing small plastic particles directly when we wash our faces.

Marine researchers are working on understanding and publicizing this new emerging contamination problem which they call ‘microplastics.” A piece of microplastic can come from the breakdown of larger waste plastic that finds its way to Puget Sound or the ocean. Those plastics are slowly broken apart by wind and waves into smaller and smaller pieces.

Some types of plastics are further degraded by the sun (photolosis). Yet other small plastics enter the water and air as fine fibers

Microplastics, the darker of the two granular objects, are small enough to pass through sewage treatment. Microplastics are used in products, including face wash.

Contributed ucts and more often in those facial scrubs promising exfoliation and more beautiful skin. Some of us women will remember that this kind of scrub product have been offered for years, but in the past all the gentle abrasive materials were derived from apricot pits or other nut hulls. Now, many products add very tiny plastic beads. There can be hundreds of thousands in one tube. You can see by the photo that these beads are so small they easily pass through conventional sewage treatment (or are certainly not breaking down in our septic systems).

Researchers found so many of these beads inter-

from the slow but methodical breakdown of our synthetic clothing.

We at Stillwaters — as we analyze sediment, water, and insect samples from around the bridge restoration site near Arness Park — often encounter fine fibers that are red or blue, which are not the colors from natural wood or plant fibers. All of these different kinds of small pieces of plastics are called microplastics if they are 1 to 5 millimeters or smaller.

One additional kind of microplastic that is getting some press are the small spherical plastic beads that are intentionally added to industrial abrasion prod-

spersed in the sands and sediments in the Great Lakes that some states have banned those products. You can find more information on the Great Lakes studies on the web. Here’s one article: http://cen.acs.org/articles/91/i37/MicroplasticBeads-Pollute-Great-Lakes. html.

There are other small plastics we see as we walk the beach. Next time you walk a sandy beach, take a few minutes and really look at a handful of sand. I would bet, even here in our shores, you will find some plastic particles.

In many cases, the plastic is the size of some phytoplankton and zoo plankton, the basic food sources for all marine life. As the amount of non-food plastic particles increase in our waterway and shorelines, the fish and wildlife that ingest those particles for food are not getting a full meal. They also are getting something else — the chance for increased pollutants as a condiment.

Microplastics, especially the microbeads in facial scrubs, have great surface area that can be a place for pollutants to attach.

Many of the persistent bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) chemicals in our environment are hydro-

New name, same great Kingston concert series

K

ingston Rotarians are getting ready for another busy summer season at the Rotary Beer Garden, held in conjunction with the summer concerts at Mike Wallace Park.

The Rotary Beer Garden and concerts are a Saturday night staple in Kingston — a great place to listen to music and get together with friends in a gorgeous setting.

What’s new for this year?

Well, our concerts now have a new name, logo and time. Kingston Cove Summer Concerts will begin at 6 p.m. on Saturday evenings with the Rotary Beer Garden opening at 5 p.m. Concerts will end at 8 p.m.

Did you ever wonder how all of this came about?

Kingston’s Concerts on the Cove developed from the Kitsap County Parks and Recreation concerts called

in August. These concerts ended in 2007, when Kitsap County withdrew from the series, citing the amount of work they entailed.

Kingston’s Concerts on the Cove began in 2008 with five concerts, and has grown to eight free Saturday night events and the Victory Music Festival. The venue was considerably enhanced in 2009 with the performing arts stage built by the Port of Kingston at Mike Wallace Park.

Rotary News

By Nancy martin “Tunes on Tuesday.” The county did not financially support these concerts, but encouraged local businesses to contribute funds in return for posters and publicity. These free concerts were held at Mike Wallace Park at the Port of Kingston, without a stage, on four consecutive Tuesday evenings

phobic. They do not dissolve easily, but rather are repelled by or don’t mix well with water. Therefore, sediment or small plastics can be a magnet for these chemicals, and ingestion can be a pathway for marine critters to be exposed to higher concentrations of pollutants.

Fortunately, there is some good news on the microbead front. Several companies (Procter & Gamble, and Johnson & Johnson, for example) have agreed to stop using microbeads in their products in the future.

Millions of microbeads on our shores and sad stories of marine birds and other wildlife being killed, starved or hurt by encountering plastics in our waters offers us something to think about. Do we really need all this plastic? Can we find ways to live happily with a little less? Think about it as

Changes in Port Gamble management this summer O

lympic Property Group and Port Gamble have gone through many changes recently, including the departure of longtime Town Manager Shana Smith.

We are very pleased to announce that Julie McAfee was promoted to marketing and events manager.

Julie has run our weddings and events program, which now hosts 75 weddings a year and numerous festivals and events. Her new duties will include overall town marketing, supervision of the Port Gamble Museum staff, and providing marketing and event services for OPG’s other projects, including Harbor Hill.

I worked with Shana Smith promoting Port Gamble, and will continue the monthly Port Gamble Gazette as the marketing and communications coordinator.

Tom Daley was promoted to construction and townsite manager. Tom and his crew have expertly cared for the buildings, grounds and infrastructure, and knows Port Gamble inside and out.

He will now add the town’s leasing and administration

to his responsibilities.

Kathy Keller was promoted to maintenance supervisor to fill the gap created

by Tom’s promotion. Kathy has worked with tenants and the rest of our team on maintenance and construction projects and will do a great job leading these efforts.

We are also very pleased to announce that after conducting a thorough search, Tonya Caswell was chosen to fill the role of property/ office manager. Tonya has some great experience to bring to Port Gamble, including eight years with FTD that concluded with her position as western regional marketing supervisor. Her work as Poulsbo Chamber of Commerce president as well as her past experience make her well suited to work on our residential and commercial leasing program.

T

here has been much talk about fundraising for the Village Green Community Center.

While that is an important subject which will determine when we break ground on the new building, the more important subject is what will go on in the community center once it is built.

So let me take you on a virtual tour.

When you arrive at the building and walk up to the main entrance, you will be struck by the floor-to-ceiling windows which allow natural light to flood the lobby.

The large lobby area will offer many options for seating to talk with a friend or read a book while free Wi-Fi will keep you connected.

Once you are inside the lobby, if you turn right you will come to the entrance of the long-awaited new

An artist’s rendering of the new Kingston Community Center.

Contributed Kingston branch of the Kitsap Regional Library.

With five times more space than its current location, the library will offer an expanded collection of books and periodicals, computers for public use, separate children’s and teen areas, and dedicated space for people to gather. The core programs such as youth activities, book discussions, and author and writing events will continue.

Back in the lobby, you will walk past the reception desk with a monitor showing what’s happening in the center. Continuing past the reception desk, you will come to the entrance of the senior center. There you will find a large well-lighted

room with windows looking out on the patio, park and bay beyond. The space will provide a home for the Super Seniors program as well as offering games, dancing, art, health and fitness classes, and intergenerational programs.

Adjoining the Senior Center room is a large commercial kitchen that will be used to prepare food for seniors as well as for events and use as a teaching kitchen for cooking classes for all ages.

When you go back out into the lobby and turn left you walk down a corridor that provides access to four meeting rooms (the three large rooms are divided by operable walls) allowing the ability to create one large

Only if the weather is really bad will resurfacing have to be rescheduled, and we will keep you posted about that. When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have tennis and pickle ball lines on our courts.

We also want to remind everyone that the courts are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, and open to public use. These courts are the property of your Village Green Metropolitan Park District, and are a public amenity.

The meeting rooms will be available for rental.

At the end of the corridor, you will find the Boys & Girls Club. For security, kids will swipe their membership cards to gain access. The space will include a traditional games room with pool, ping pong and foosball. There will also be an art room and dedicated space for teens.

The club will share the community computer lab and multi-purpose room; these spaces will be available to the public during non-club hours.

The club will offer a range of after-school programs, including homework help, leadership clubs, games, classes, athletics and a daily healthy snack. A summer day camp program is also being planned.

Food scholar outlines how to cut grocery your bills R

ecently, ShareNet had an opportunity to connect with Leanne Brown, a food studies scholar and avid home cook who wrote “Good and Cheap,” a cookbook aimed at restricted-income readers, structured around the idea of putting three meals on the table for $4 per day.

The goal was not just any meals either, but healthy, satisfying cooking. The book can be downloaded in a free pdf at www.leannebrown.ca/cookbooks/.

Brown’s focus on healthy choices has given her book a special response and welcome among people with this restriction on their food budget or those who work helping them.

There is a Kickstarter (online funding platform) campaign under way to fund a significant printing at

lowest-possible cost. This is necessary because “Good and Cheap” hasn’t actually been published in a print edition. Brown completed the book as the capstone project for her master’s in food studies at New York University.

She has always been passionate about food, but what Brown gained over the course of her degree and in creating the cookbook was “a greater understanding of the challenges that make it so tough for many people to eat well, be healthy, and take pleasure in food.” This is a challenge ShareNet sees every day, and a heartbreaking one at that.

“I wanted to do something that brought awareness to issues of hunger, while also creating a resource that would be useful outside of academia,” Brown said.

Rotary

$500 to $1,000, and there is still time to become a sponsor of the 2014 summer concert season.

Contact Colleen Carey at the Kingston Chamber of Commerce for more information.

Kingston is the only town in Kitsap County that holds its concerts on Saturday nights. This is an advantage, since we are not competing with other community concerts, but a disadvantage since bands charge higher rates for a Saturday night performance.

Kingston families would not be able to enjoy these free concerts without the generosity of the Port of Kingston. The Port offers a great venue for these events, allowing the use of the performing arts stage and the tent.

The tent has been mistakenly referred to as “the Rotary beer tent.” While it

Continued from page 25 Mike was also instrumental in getting the performing arts stage built with the support of the Kingston Stakeholders.

The Kingston Chamber of Commerce Events Committee manages Kingston Cove Summer Concerts. These free concerts are made possible by the sponsorship of local businesses and service clubs. Sponsorships for 2014 have been received from Kingston Rotary, Kingston Kiwanis, Kingston Stakeholders, The Point Casino, Cathy Morris Windermere Real Estate, D’Vine Wines, WCE General Contractors, Hill Moving, Sentinel Construction, and Lucky Star Consignment Clothing.

sharenet & you By mark ince When asked about her creative process, she said the cookbook was created in the tiny kitchen of her tiny New York apartment.

“There was a lot of trial and error with the dishes and the photography,” she said.

“A lot of the inspiration came from a farm-share

is true that Rotary holds a weekly beer garden during the summer in the tent, the tent actually belongs to the Port of Kingston and can be reserved by various community groups.

Recently, Kiwanis held its Food for Kids Summer Concert and Beer Fest in the Port’s tent. Rotary and other community groups help to erect and take down the tent each year to show their appreciation for use of the tent. Contact Dave Malone at the Port of Kingston if you would like to learn more about reserving the tent.

Although Kingston Rotary runs the Beer Garden, it does not book the concerts, nor is it in charge of the food vendors.

program. Every week, I picked up a huge pile of whatever vegetables the farm had produced that week, so the challenge became: these are cheap in season but what can I make from them? I had done a lot of research on SNAP (food stamps) in the process of getting my degree.”

In the book, she describes starting with a pantry of basic ingredients, the ones she could create the most meals from. She then calculated an average price for each of those ingredients among a variety of stores in a low-income neighborhood of New York. Brown found that the neighborhood where she researched prices had been designated a “food desert,” but was actually mitigated by better access to fresh produce than most would be.

“Food Desert” is a term initially coined in urban environments for neighborhoods where major grocery chains did not find it profitable to locate, leaving residents with no alternative but convenience-type stores or a long transit out of their neighborhood to a better one for shopping. Now, the term has been extended to rural and semi-rural areas as well where choices and bargain-shopping are severely restricted.

Brown also consulted with the New York City Coalition Against Hunger and the Food Trust in Philadelphia, both of whom were very supportive of the project. In the unexpectedly large-scale response to “Good and Cheap,” Brown learned “the appetite for information on how to use limited funds wisely is

Catering will be in charge of the food vendors this year.

almost limitless.”

Brown’s dream would be for the book to be distributed with every single EBT card issued. “Money to buy food is essential, but that money will have much greater impact if recipients use it to cook meals that give them enough energy and health to pursue their goals.”

Another is to start a community kitchen program, a kind of “cooking library” with access to a central kitchen space and equipment folks might otherwise not have.

For those clients without online access or ability to print the whole cookbook pdf, ShareNet will obtain some donated copies.

As far as a good painter goes, I am going to let you in on a little real estate broker secret. Most brokers have at their access their own personal little “yellow pages” of trades that they have worked with over the years.

So that is my suggestion: Call me or another good local broker and ask for names and numbers. We are always happy to help.

“M

y husband and I are having difficulty conceiving ... can chiropractic help?”

It’s very possible, I’m happy to say.

Just about every chiropractor has a story in which he has had an infertile patient suddenly conceive while under chiropractic care.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 7.3 million women in the United States were classified as infertile.

Just over one million of these women sought medical attention for it.

While there are a variety of reasons a woman’s ability to conceive can be thwarted, up to 20 percent of the time medical testing shows no clear answer — which may be one of the reasons that medical intervention for infertility has a modest 34 percent success rate. Even so, many — as is evidenced by the dramatic increase in

spinal Column By thomas lamar, d.c. our nation’s fertility clinics — will shell out up to $30,000 per menstrual cycle for the chance to conceive.

Enter chiropractic.

Your nervous system controls everything in your body, including your reproductive organs. A spine that is functioning appropriately is more apt to support a healthy nervous system devoid of health-robbing interference. What’s more, a healthy spine and nervous system are bolstered and better able to combat the everyday insults of physical, emotional, and chemical stresses that are thrown at it.

What this means for a woman who is looking to conceive and carry a child is that through regular chiropractic care she is able to optimize her body’s ability

to function and thus is able to create an environment in which pregnancy is more likely to occur.

The Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics reviewed 10 different case reports that looked at a total of 11 women suffering from infertility. Many had symptoms ranging from lower back pain to ulcerative colitis. The result: All 11 became pregnant shortly after starting chiropractic care. A similar review study was published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research and in the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal and Family Health-Chiropractic.

Bottom line: If you are trying to conceive, having your spine checked for nervous system interference by a chiropractor makes sense.

Les Salmon, MD, Beats Cancer Physician, father, 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.”
