Bay cleanup Food bank saved by last wish starts with pier Removal of the pier began midSeptember by Nisqually Services By RICHARD WALKER

STAFF WRITER

LITTLE BOSTON — Carefully, methodically, the old Point Julia landmark continued its disappearing act, its presence slowly erased piling by piling. A forklift operator extracted each pile with the precision of a dentist extracting a tooth: nudg-

ing it loose, then pulling it up and out. By 10 a.m. Sept. 15, five of 42 pilings lay on the beach. The removal was expected to be complete by Sept. 18. The pier and its creosoted pilings are being removed as part of the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe’s larger effort to help clean up the bay. The pier is being removed by Nisqually Marine Services, a division of the Nisqually Tribe’s Department of Natural Resources. The pier was built in See PIER, Page 12

INGSTON — Less than a week before Michael Szymanski died he made the decision to leave a portion of his estate to a charity. Szymanski, 67, chose the Kingston Food Bank.

The food bank has received about $20,000 so far. It will receive between $70,000-$80,000 by the first of the year, according to Margaret Rennemo, a friend of Szymanski. Food bank director Barb Fulton was out of town when she got the news the Kingston Food Bank was no longer in dire straits. “We’re just going day by day,”

Fulton said. “It’s still like a fairytale.” The donated money from Syzmanski came just in time for the food bank. Fulton and food bank volunteers held rummage sales throughout the summer as they attempted to raise enough money to pay for rent for See FOOD BANK, Page 11

July 4 fatality crash report not yet released to county prosecutor STAFF REPORT

KINGSTON — All reports related to the July 4 fatal collision between a North Kitsap Fire & Rescue engine and a Yamaha scooter were expected to be

released to the county prosecutor’s office within three weeks of Sept. 23. That’s according to Kitsap County sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Scott Wilson, who said investiga-

tors were awaiting the toxicology report on the driver of the scooter in early September. A toxicology report, conducted by the Washington State Patrol’s crime lab,

usually takes eight weeks, Wilson said. Wilson said the crime lab is busy. “What’s happening here is happening in how many jurisdictions in the state,” he said. Additionally,

County removes BigBellys from downtown Kingston STAFF WRITER

KINGSTON — Kitsap County pulled its compacting trash cans from downtown Kingston along Highway 104 this week. Providing a convenient way for visitors to the heavily trafficked downtown area to dispose of their trash is now up to local merchants. The county and the Greater Kingston Area Chamber of Commerce had a contract in which the county provided the solar-powered compacting trash cans, known as BigBellys, and the chamber emptied and maintained them. They proved to be a nice amenity in a tourism-oriented downtown located next to a ferry landing. But the chamber asked to end the contract, saying it was hard to find volunteers to do the work. The county removed the BigBellys on Sept. 16. Each BigBelly will go to the county fairgrounds, Commissioner Rob Gelder said. Gelder said there were six to eight BigBellys on Highway 104 from Washington Boulevard to the library and community center. Gelder said the county has BigBellys — purchased with stimulus funds in 2009 — at county parks, such as Point No Point. The problem with the Highway 104 BigBellys: They’re not on county property, so the county is not obligated to maintain them. “We don’t do solid waste management for businesses,” Gelder said. The BigBellys were placed on state right-ofway, in an area impacted by the state ferries. But the state Department of Transportation is not in the waste management business, either. So, the chamber of commerce recruited volunteers to empty the BigBellys of compacted trash and dump it into a nearby dumpster. But over time, volunteers were harder to find. “We did take responsibility for the cans when they were installed, but they have had some issues with breaking down and the bags are very expensive,” said Mike Haley, chamber of commerce president. “We’ve gone through a lot of volunteers trying to maintain the cans, but it is a lot of work and finding volunteers has been an

An employee of Drifter’s said the cans were always full and “looked terrible.” An employee of the Kingston Quilt Shop worries that a lack of trash cans will lead to trash in the street. Providing trash cans “seems like a public service that should be provided,” the employee said. Gelder hopes a The BigBelly trash cans were pur- community converchased in 2009 by the county.

Impact of an act of generosity

ince last winter, 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. All of those who value the Kingston Food Bank hoped the Foster-Austin donation would spur more giving to give the Food Bank a stable footing. It did. In a big way. Michael Szymanski’s bequest of between $70,000 and $80,000 to the Food Bank was as quiet yet impactful as his life. According to an obituary published in his native Delaware, he graduated from the University of Delaware, then served in the U.S. Army in Korea for two years. He reportedly had a career in business, but, according to a column he periodically wrote for Kitsap Week, he was so impressed with what yoga did for his health that he switched careers in the early 1980s and became a yoga instructor, physical trainer and certified massage therapist. “He loved tending to his garden and friends while enjoying the beautiful and peaceful surroundings of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula,” his family wrote. According to a friend, he lived modestly, without the luxuries many of us take for granted. According to his obituary, he “passed away peacefully” on July 28 after a brief illness and was interred privately in Kingston. Then, the check arrived, enough to cover about four years’ rent so the 62-year-old Food Bank can stay at 26102 Illinois Ave., a two-story house next to the Sheriff’s Office. Because of this quiet man’s gift, the Food Bank can concentrate on meeting the needs of its constituents. Keeping a roof over its head is no longer an immediate worry. The Food Bank meets the needs of approximately 50 families a week. The Food Bank provides school supplies to local students in September. It has clothing for people in need, and hygiene kits for people living without a home. In November, the Food Bank will supply Thanksgiving dinners to those who otherwise would not have one. Kingston Food Bank clients live closer to the downtown core and are mostly older, homeless or pedestrian. “Ninety percent of our clients walk,” said Bill Fulton, husband of Food Bank director Barb Fulton. In contrast, ShareNet serves a larger area — Kingston, Eglon, Hansville, Indianola, Little Boston, Port Gamble, and some border addresses in Poulsbo and Suquamish. Both are needed in our community. 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 Foster-Austin gift. And now, Michael Szymanski’s bequest. The Kingston Food Bank has a stable home, for now. Help keep a great thing going and donate 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.

Supports Wolfe for commission Kitsap County has a clear choice this November in the election of our county commissioner. Ed Wolfe brings experience in government, private business, and a passion for supporting our community shown by his various volunteer positions. Our courthouse now is composed of dedicated politicians from the same backgrounds and same views. Problems are met with the same actions leaving the them unsolved but used for promises to be solved at the next election. Even volunteer committees in Kitsap now are subjected to one view because of how they are selected by political favor. Ed is knowledgeable in shoreline management issues from first hand experience from his legal practice. While serving with the U.S. State Department on water/oceans issues and international fishing negotiations to protect our salmon runs, Ed successfully brought opposing sides to a common sense solution. The issues of the day require a more diverse approach then just the same old tired approaches of the past few years. Ed Wolfe is dedicated to all aspects of government, the safety of our neighborhoods for example. North Kitsap as an example still only has two deputies patrolling the area, this is despite safety concerns not only for the deputies but disregarding the safety of citizens and protection of their private property

rights While the incumbent states she supports safe neighborhoods, her past government involvement and experience shows the issues she has prioritized are different. Join our neighbors, the Kitsap County Deputies Sheriff’s Guild, Kitsap County Home Builders Association, Kitsap County Association of Realtors, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 282 in supporting Ed Wolfe for commissioner.

Water is toxic, fish are sick and dying Below is a message I sent to Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Bremerton, about the controversial fish consumption rate.

I think we need to pause for a second to put things in perspective. For the last 50 years, there have been warnings about what is going to happen to the planet, to people, animals, water, flora, etc., if we don’t curtail pollution. There have been many efforts by good people to change direction. We didn’t. We are here in that dreaded future. Now, the discussion is not about cleaning up, but limiting the amount of pollution to limit the number of deaths due to pollution. Do any of our illustrious leaders really understand what this means? Our government is setting death sentences, and feeling as though they have accomplished something because the number of deaths have been limited. There will be ugly hard deaths, like cancer, respiratory diseases, hunger, etc.

And who will die? Those who are poor. And that number is growing by leaps and bounds daily. That is insanity. We have become insane. I do not say this lightly. With all our resources, we can fix this. We are past the point of compromise. We need leadership that will draw a line in the sand and not move it. We need a strong voice who will not back down, who will not compromise. If this isn’t done at the leadership level, then eventually it will be done by the people. It’s already starting for other reasons. Look at what is occurring because of the police state. Look at Ferguson. It will be far worse when the food and water supply becomes more poisonous.

Initiatives engaged in background check battle AS IT TURNS OUT By MARYLIN OLDS making it more difficult for criminals, the seriously mentally ill, and domestic abusers to obtain a lethal weapon. Current law is that criminal and public safety background checks are run only by licensed gun dealers, under federal law. “Exceptions” include transfers of antique guns or to immediate family — and temporary loans for self-defense, hunting, sporting events and competitions. “Transfer” includes trade or barter. “Person” is defined as an individual, corporation, club, association, or other legal entity, per Common Sense Information Media. n Arguments against I-594: Criminals will continue to break the law to obtain guns. Background checks burden law-abiding gun owners and invade their privacy rights. Excessive regulations will cause law abiding citizens to unintentionally commit crimes. Law enforcement officers are already too busy to take

Initiative Measure No. 594 concerns background checks for firearm sales and transfers. This measure would apply currently used criminal and public safety background checks by licensed dealers to all firearm sales and transfers, including gun show and online sales, with specific exceptions. Should this measure be enacted into law? Yes [ ] No [ ] If you vote “Yes” and I-594 is approved, this would mean that whenever and however a gun is sold, a background check would first be run on the prospective buyer. This broadens already existing law to include purchasing between individuals, at gun shows and online. I-594 closes those loopholes. n Goal: I-594 would help provide greater public safety for Washingtonians by

This measure would prohibit government agencies from confiscating guns or other firearms from citizens without due process, or from requiring background checks on firearm recipients unless a uniform national standard is required. Should this measure be enacted into law? Yes [ ] No [ ] If you vote “Yes” and I-591 is approved there will be no changes to existing state or federal gun laws. n Goal, part 1: No confiscation without due process. Passing this would be a reminder to state and federal government to keep their hands off our citizens’ weapons. n Goal, part 2: No background checks beyond those of uniform federal requirements. Washington gun laws should be the same as any other state’s gun laws. This protects gun owners’ privacy by keeping their purchases of guns from private individuals, gun shows or online out

of a registry and permanent records of ownership. Background checks are burdensome. n Arguments against I-591, part 1: This is unnecessary. The right to bear arms and to due process are already protected by the Constitution. n Arguments against I-591, part 2: Passing this would continue to make it easy for dangerous people to get their hands on lethal weapons. 591 tries to lock us into federal standard with a do-nothing Congress unwilling to act. As we patiently teach our children, with all rights come respon-

sibilities. Americans have a right to safety. Background checks work. A federal background check has existed since the Brady Act of 1993. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, a total of six states, plus Washington, D.C., have voted for the same thing that I-591 does not want us to have — universal background checks on all sales and transfers of all firearms. Other states have also voted for background check laws that improves on the federal standard. I-591’s second part direct-

ly conflicts with I-594 and could cancel it out should both I-594 and I-591 be approved. Again, there is no middle ground with these two initiatives. It could be that if both should win a majority of votes needed to pass, that the battle could continue on to the state Supreme Court. America is watching what happens here in Washington.

...we can take care of them! Fall Tips for your Furry Friends

• The use of rodenticides increases as rodents seek shelter from the cooler temperatures by attempting to move indoors. Rodenticides are highly toxic to pets and can cause death if ingested. Use extreme caution and only put them in places inaccessible to your pets. • Back-to-school time means stocking up on items like glue sticks, pencils and magic markers. These items are considered “low toxicity” to pets, but be sure to keep school supplies out of paws’ reach.

• Fall means mushroom season. While 99% of mushrooms have little or no toxicity, the 1% that are highly toxic can cause life-threatening problems in pets. This 1% is difﬁcult to distinguish from nontoxic ones, so its best to keep pets away from areas where any mushrooms might be growing.

Continued from page 1 tors by this time next week,â€? Wilson said of the investigation into the July 4 crash. The driver of the scooter â€” Jason T. Foster, 48, of Kingston â€” was declared dead at the scene, at Miller Bay and West Kingston roads. Foster was traveling north on Miller Bay Road, according to a preliminary report from the sheriffâ€™s office. The fire engine, driven by a 36-year-old firefighter, was headed southbound on Miller Bay Road. The fire engine slowed in the intersection to make a left turn onto West Kingston Road. The scooter and the front left of the fire engine collided

the driver, who has been with the department for two years; and an engine officer who has been with the department for 15 years, according to NKF&R. The firefighters were not injured. The firefighters were repor tedly returning to their station after responding to a residential structure fire, Wilson said.

The firefighters were temporarily placed off-duty during the investigation, according to NKF&R. Chief Dan Smith said his department investigated to see if any department policies were violated. None were, he said, and the firefighters were returned to active duty.

orities if elected? Henden: See above â€” Good jobs and economy, great schools, quality roads and public safety. Q: How would you accomplish those priorities? Henden: In contracting, a client and business may have some competing interest but we find ways to meet a middle ground that meets both of their goals. You have to work with people to be successful. Itâ€™s true, sometimes there is too wide a gap and you need to know when to work with them and when to walk. Party politics make that harder at times but I will work with people of both parties when it is to the good of Kitsap County and state citizens. I will work with county, state and federal officials from both parties to solve our road problems, school funding, public safety and good jobs. Q: Regarding bipartisanship: Provide some examples of how youâ€™ve

worked cooperatively with someone of another political party to reach consensus or accomplish a goal. Henden: See answer to preceding question. Q: What experience do you have that makes you most qualified for the position you seek? Henden: Experience is only part of the question of good leadership. The Democratic Party has been in leadership of this state

for 30 years, often with all three branches of the state government. My opponent, for 10 years. Her stated top priority is payday lenders. If that is a priority to you, vote for her. I believe that my successful experience in small business for 30 years, with the values gained and lessons learned, will be the right experience to move the state toward the goals stated. I hope you will consider me for your vote.

be updated and maintained. An example is State Highway 3, Poulsbo to the Hood Canal Bridge. It is 20 years behind in an update and a holding area. It is an issue to me as well as the backup coming off Bainbridge at the Clearwater Casino Resort. I support a Department of Transportation audit that resolves the waste. Feel good mass transit dollars need to end and dollars spent to build and maintain roads. Public safety is a must. Repeat drunken drivers who kill someone on our roads should be charged as murderers. The 27 months a Kitsap man received for killing a lady on Clear Creek is an outrage. He had another DUI within six months of release. We should try to train and educate those we can, but a jail house revolving door is no answer for those who will offend again. In the past five years I have had my mail stolen, office broken into and been hit by a drunken driver. I do not believe that our legal system is working to protect us. We have enough taxes. This state has had spending growth from $61 billion in the 2005-07 budget to $73 billion in 2011-13 budget. My opponent says that the budget has been cut to the bone. What do you think?

KINGSTON — A former Kingston High School student was charged in District Court on Sept. 8 with felony harassment for making threats to “shoot up” the school. Matthew Allen Smiley, 18, was arrested the morning of Sept. 5 at his parent’s home in Kingston. He was arrested for felony harassment and second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm. He was formally charged in District Court with “felony harassment for making threats to kill.” Smiley is being held on $2 million bail. His next court date is Sept. 23. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine. Kitsap County Sheriff’s

patrol deputies initiated the investigation into Smiley’s alleged threats the afternoon of Sept. 4 following a 9-1-1 report made by Kingston High School security officers. School authorities reported that a former male KHS student had reportedly voiced threats to friends that he was going to cause harm at the high school, according to a report by sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Scott Wilson. Smiley was expelled during the 2013-14 school year for dealing “large amounts of marijuana on campus,” according to the statement of probable cause. According to Wilson, Smiley was “very angry” over the expulsion and his situation in life. Two men informed school security of the alleged threats on Aug.

24, according to the statement of probable cause. At one point, according to the statement, Smiley simulated shooting a machine gun while saying, “One of these days I’m gonna walk in and shoot up the school.” Smiley allegedly displayed handguns to friends a day before he was arrested; one gun was kept in his parents’ bedroom, another was kept in his car, according to the statement of probable cause. Sheriff’s patrol deputies were at KHS to assist with student security on Sept. 5, Wilson reported. At that time, sheriff’s detectives contacted Smiley at his home. He was placed into custody at 9:43 a.m. Detectives conducted consent searches of Smiley’s bedroom, a safe

in his parents’ bedroom, and a vehicle usually driven by Smiley. Detectives located a loaded Walther .22 caliber semi-automatic handgun under the driver’s seat and a loaded Bersa .380 caliber semi-automatic handgun in the safe. When a deputy asked Smiley if he made comments about “shooting up the school,” he confirmed he did, according to the statement of probable cause. Smiley told the deputy it “was a serious comment” but he had no plans to “shoot the school up,” the statement reads. Smiley was on probation for possession of marijuana and is under the age of 21, making it illegal for him to possess a firearm, Wilson reported.

Teens, adult allegedly threatened witnesses on Facebook KINGSTON — The Facebook messages that led to the arrest of two of three juveniles for intimidating witnesses in a school-threat case allegedly included comments of hunting the witnesses down and killing them. The online discussion

was mainly between two 17-year-olds about finding out the identity of those who informed the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Department of Matthew Smiley’s alleged threats toward Kingston High School. “Well gentlemen, we have our targets. How would we like to murder them?” a message written by one of the juvenile reads, according to the sheriff’s department. The juveniles were arrested on Sept. 9 and booked into Kitsap County Youth Services Center on charges of fel-

ony harassment and witness intimidation. Smiley was arrested Sept. 5 after the sheriff’s department was alerted by school security of his alleged threats to “shoot up the school.” Security was made aware of the threats by witnesses who had been in contact with Smiley. Smiley is in Kitsap County Jail on $2 million bail on a charge of making threats to kill. www.edwardjones.com In the Facebook discussion, one juvenile writes that a witness in the case “doesn’t even deserve to be here.” “Who is he?

tive] rip his intestines out and hang him with them.” A third juvenile, 16, was arrested after posting Facebook messages inquiring into who told the sheriff’s department about Smiley’s alleged threats. In one post, the juvenile states Smiley has worked to get his life together and “does not deserve this.” The three juveniles were out of detention as of Sept. 24. One17-yearold was released Sept. 10, to the custody of a parent following a posting of bail, according to Deputy Scott Wilson, the spokesman for the department. The other 17-year-old was released by court order Sept. 17. The 16-year-old was released by court order Sept. 18. The two released by court order had their cases heard before a Kitsap County Superior Court Judge in juvenile court. The third teen released on bail awaits adjudication of the case, according to Wilson. Smiley was expelled during the 2013-14 school year for dealing “large amounts of marijuana on campus,” according to the sheriff’s department’s statement of probable cause. According to Wilson, Smiley was “very angry” over the expulsion and his situation in life. “If you know anything See THREATS, Page 11

Pier

Continued from page 1 1979 to serve the gill net fishery and became a popular recreational amenity — a great place to cast a fishing line, jump into the water, or watch activity on the bay. The pier is being removed “because it is obsolete and structurally unsound,” according to Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe spokeswoman Ginger Vaughan. “It is not useful for fishers. Its creosote pilings are also an issue to human, habitat, and fish/shellfish health.” The Tribe’s Debris Removal Project is funded by the state Department of Ecology and managed by the Tribe’s Natural Resources Department. It is separate from the cleanup of the old Pope & Talbot mill site, which is being managed by the Department of Ecology. Phase 1 of Port Gamble S’Klallam’s project has been to remove debris, including old nets and boats, from the shoreline on the reservation. This phase is almost complete, Vaughan said. More than 50 people volunteered to help clean up the shoreline on June 14,

and more than 35 volunteered on July 26. The Tribe has also used the project to educate the community about the importance of debris removal to the health and eco-system of Port Gamble Bay. The other part of the project is removing debris from privately-owned shoreline and tidelands along the bay, outside the reservation boundaries. Members of the Tribe’s Natural Resources Department have reached out to property owners, including visiting door-to-door, to explain the project, how the work will be done, and that debris removal will come as no cost to the owner. Vaughan said the Tribe has debris-removal permission from about 18 of an estimated 50 land owners along the shoreline. All work must be completed by June 2015. Vaughan said that while the Tribe’s project is different than and separate from the larger toxics cleanup of Port Gamble Bay that Ecology is overseeing, the efforts of the two projects represent a holistic approach to the cleanup of the bay. “Before this agreement,

the Tribe was already working on a plan to spearhead an effort to remove debris from around the bay. DOE liked the concept as it fed nicely into their general goals, so they asked to partner with the Tribe,” Vaughan wrote. “Considering the cultural and ecological value the Tribe puts on Port Gamble Bay, they have spent a lot of time and energy doing what they can to further protection efforts. To this end, they are the most knowledgeable when it comes to debris from around the bay and the resources necessary to clean it up.”

Jon Rose, president of Olympic Property Group, the real estate arm of Pope Resources, said in an earlier story that cleanup of the old mill site should begin by July 2015, pending permits. According to Rose, all business tenants of the mill site will be gone by May. Removal of pilings and an old dock will come first, followed by intertidal dredging to remove wood waste and other debris. A layer of sand will be placed to contain any waste that could not be removed. Cleanup should be completed by 2017 or 2018, Rose said. Back at Point Julia, Nisqually Marine Services had placed a boom around the pier to contain any debris that fell into the water. Plastic sheeting had been placed on the beach below the pier to catch any falling debris above the tideline. A worker chainsawed

sections of pier decking, which were then removed by forklift. The forklift operator hauled each section of decking to a nearby pile upland, then returned to nudge and extract each piling that once supported the pier deck. Dennis Lucia of Nisqually Marine Services said the remains of the pier will go to an approved landfill where, according to one environmental services company, some of the wood and creosote will degrade anaerobically. Pier removal began Sept. 12. Lucia said he expected his crew of nine would have the pier removed in five days — that’s about Sept. 18. Then, the crew will cut up and remove a barge or landing craft on the beach, and then remove some pilings out near the S’Klallam Tribe hatchery’s fish pens.

Village Green’s Cider Press returns VILLAGE GREEN UPDATE If you’re one of those who was hoping for a return of the Village Green Cider Press event this year: Sandy and George Morgan stepped forward to keep the community tradition alive. It’s going to be held at the Village Green on Oct. 15, 4-6 p.m. We hope you’ve been setting your apples aside. If they’re stored in a cool, dark place, they’ll be perfect for the Cider Press. Last year’s event was more fun than ever and we hope once again to have three presses, including a kid-sized one. We’ll provide containers if you don’t bring your own, and in keeping with Health Department recommendations, must ask that you refrain from drinking the cider until after you get home and boil it. The event is free, open to all, and supported by volunteers who prep the apples and oversee the presses. If you’d like to be one of those volunteers, call or email Bobbie Moore: 360-297-2845, bobbie@myvillagegreen.org.

Neighbor Aid 2014: Stories of struggle, a compassionate community have medication needs not fully covered by Medicare. We are both grateful for the extra support the community shares with us.” — Anonymous

SHARENET & YOU By MARK INCE

■

lot of powerful stories come through ShareNet throughout the year. Some are shared verbally, some by phone or email, some left anonymously in a note or voicemail. They are stories of people struggling, falling down and finding a way back up. We’re glad to be part of the way back up. They are stories of personal failure, both private and public, and now and then of redemption and success. They are stories of families being dragged down by an all too quick and previously unimaginable series of events. ShareNet becomes part of their journey, a place to get some food and shelter in crisis. We’re grateful that the community support to Neighbor Aid, the annual campaign that determines our ability to serve over the next year, allows us to be a part of their journey. We strive to be a useful part of that journey, one that moves people struggling toward stability by offering additional resources through sponsorship of local schools, and financial and parenting classes. We’re grateful to be a place the community has made. Support for ShareNet is as much support for an idea as it is a bricks and mortar place. The idea is compassion. We are a place made by compassion for struggle, and people who didn’t start with any advantages, or, as all of us can, lost them along the way. The stories tell themselves: ■

“As much as I’m grateful for all of the assistance I’ve received, there is an element of shame and embarrassment that I’m not self-sufficient enough without your help.

Kingston is home to gardening prodigy

hey say Mozart composed his first symphony at age 8. Not bad, but ask him for the proper siting of Fritillaria meleagris and he was hopeless. For information on Epimedium or Arisaema, you’ll have to ask another child prodigy, Sam Decker, who at age 10 became perhaps the world’s youngest garden lecturer when he addressed the Kingston Garden Club during their

Sept.17 meeting. Sam, a fifth-grader at Richard Gordon Elementary in Kingston, guided the club through a slideshow of native plants of Washington. Avoiding such mundane understory staples as salal and sword fern, Sam captured his audience’s attention with uncommon natives including the ghostly white, chlorophyll-free ghost plant (Monotropa uniflora) and rattlesnake-plantain (Goodyera oblongifo-

lia), which — as Sam made clear — does not treat snakebite, as the early settlers believed. The Kingston Garden Club was pleased to host the youthful speaker, who runs through botanical nomenclature as easily as most people order pizza. His talk was delivered a day prior to the club’s Blanche Gray Garden Show at Gordon Elementary. The club hosted a second garden show Sept. 25 Wolfle Elementary.

Sam is a regular participant in the Gordon show, as well as a regular in the school garden. Sam, it seems, was born to grow. At 6 years old, he was given a field guide to native plants by his parents, Dan and Sarah Decker of Kingston. Sam began to carry the book along on the family’s frequent wilderness hikes and was soon pointing out saxifrages and smilacina. Four years later, Sam has his own home garden

ON KINGSTON TIME By WENDY TWETEN and rubs shoulders with the likes of horticulture master Dan Hinkley, whom Sam often works alongside as a volunteer at Heronswood Garden in Kingston. “The community has really embraced Sam,” his father said. “Heidi at Dragonfly Nursery and Dave at Foxglove have encouraged him, and his teacher, Mr. (Mel) Gallup

October 2014

worked with Sam on his presentation in class.” Sam’s field guide was the first of an ever-growing stack of garden books by Sam’s bed. While admiring her son’s single-minded pursuit of all things that bloom and grow, Sam’s mother has had to set limits. “I have to check on him to be sure he’s not under the covers in his bunk bed, reading about gardening when he’s supposed to be asleep,” she said. Whether Mozart or Sam Decker, even prodigies have bedtimes. — wendy@ wendytweten.com

Library summer reading program surpasses last year’s total, this year’s goal

n October our One Book, One Community title is “The Boys in the Boat,” by Daniel James Brown. At our home page, www.krl.org, learn where you can hear the author speak and find related events. We invite you to read and discuss this book that tells the amazing true story of local University of Washington athletes who transformed the sport of rowing in 1936 at the Olympics in Berlin.

Before I list all October programs, I want to share a report from our youth services librarian, Whitney: “Many students in the area got a significant jump start on their learning with Kitsap Regional Library’s Summer of Learning. The goal of this free program is to encourage all people up to the age of 18 to read at least 10 hours during summer break to prevent ‘summer slide.’ Once participants have turned in their completed 10 hours

this year’s goal of 3,000 hours for a total of 3,210 hours. In addition, eight children and eight teens read for at least 100 hours. There were many fun and educational opportunities for kids, teens, and families to create, learn and explore together at the library. The Kingston Branch hosted a six-week long STEAM series to explore different Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math concepts, like electric circuits, 3D printing, balloon-powered Lego cars, and origami. “Hundreds of people of all ages came down to the Port to enjoy free performances by One World Taiko and Kabuki Academy. The library is committed

to serving its youngest patrons and their families and encouraging a celebrated community of readers.”

are excited about the new store Mrs. Muir’s House of Ghosts & Magic. In late August, Port Gamble experienced the manifestation of a fun and definitely unique shop that caters to the curiosities that exist in all of us. Mrs. Muir’s House of Ghosts & Magic was opened by No. 7 Books owners Danya Simkus and Rik Scott. All ages are welcome in this shop that carries everything from basic magic sets to visually astonishing tarot card sets. They look forward to carrying equipment that most paranormal investigators use like EMF meters, digital audio recorders, Mel-Meters, and of course batteries and flashlights. They are currently putting together events. They are open every weekend in Port Gamble in the famous House 10, the Jackson House. Give them a call at 360-881-0489 to find out all of the happenings in this new and fun shop. — Pete Orbea is the marketing and communications coordinator of Port Gamble.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT - MIKE HALEY NOW SEEKING DIRECTORS: It is time to turn our attention to next year’s Board of Directors. Our by-laws call for the Executive Director (Colleen Carey) and the President (me) to gather nominations by October 31st and present them to our membership by the first Tuesday of November. Presentation of the nominees will be made public here in this newspaper, on our website and in an email from the chamber. Members may cast their vote by downloading the ballot from our website and returning it via email or snail mail. Ballots will also be available at the chamber office. Ballots must be returned by November 30th. This year we have up to six positions open. TO QUALIFY: Any chamber member in good standing may be nominated to serve on the board. Only one representative per business or non-profit may serve in any calendar year. WE HAVE GOALS: While we have enjoyed great gains in many areas of our chamber managed business, (i.e. new Visitor’s Center, various community events and fundraisers, Kitsap Arts & Crafts, etc.) 2014 has presented some challenges as well. Membership has not grown as much as we had anticipated. One of our subcommittees was unable to produce their annual event due to a lack of volunteer

support and/or finances (Miss Kingston). Several members report that they are still feeling the lingering effects of the recession. We’ve had business to business conflicts that for some have created an air of divisiveness within the community. It is our goal moving into 2015 that all of these challenges be addressed by our Board and solutions realized. Further, we will be surveying our membership to learn how we can best serve their needs, whether it be through voicing their concerns at the state and county level or providing a website that meets their standards. If you are interested in becoming a director, you can plan on spending at least 6 hours per month on Chamber related business (and much more if you desire). I hope that some of you will accept this opportunity to serve your community and grow professionally and personally as a result. Please contact either Colleen at the chamber (www.director@ kingstonchamber.com ) or myself at www.mike@rogersfamilyinsurance.com. Welcome to Autumn! Take some time to enjoy the beauty that this season brings. Cheers, Mike Haley, president Rogers Family Insurance 360-509-9178 mike@rogersfamilyinsurance.com

A Washington ferry budget break down for 2015-16 Talk to the Commish! Every five to seven years, Washington State Ferries rewrites their Long Range Plan and they’re doing it now. On Oct. 7 at 6:15 p.m. in the North Kitsap Fire & Rescue headquarters station, Commissioner Rob Gelder wants to hear what you have to say about our ferries — what you like and what you would want to be changed. Even if you’re ecstatically happy with ferries, you need to show up and say that because WSF’s plan could change what you most cherish. Some food for thought: How about a third summer boat? Should the jumbos be replaced with three 144s or two jumbo-sized boats? What about the ideas from WSF’s last plan: reservations, higher fares

FERRYFARE KINGSTON FERRY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (or limiting frequent user tickets) to move people from cars to walk-ons, and move riders away from peak hours? What about an Edmonds train underpass? What about passenger-only ferries? Are the park and rides and van pools sufficient? What about dealing with the queue on SR 104’s shoulders? Would LNG ferries be OK? Is a 2 ½ percent annual fare increase reasonable? Should there be a new gas tax if the alternative is service cuts, and bigger fare hikes? If any of this has got your blood flowing, we’ll see you there.

WSDOT’s 2015-16 budget Budgets give us a glimpse into where WSF’s headed … that is if the Legislature agrees. Here’s an overview. FARES Expect 2.5 percent per year in fare hikes. That will be higher for cars and lower for walk-ons, because Olympia wants to “get people out of their cars.” This strategy favors the city routes with abundant bus service over the rural routes where the transit connections are few and far between. SERVICE WSF is proposing service cutbacks: Mukilteo’s late run and two round trips at Point Defiance will be eliminated. The winter “no-service” period to Sidney, BC, will be extended from 12 weeks to 20 weeks. Winter service at the San Juan

Islands and Vashon will be reduced. This cuts $1.6 million and forfeits about $500,000 in revenue, or about 80,000 rides. BIOFUEL WSF is proposing to buy more “5 percent biodiesel.” This costs 6 cents more per gallon, an extra cost of $38,000 for the buy. CAPITAL PROJECTS WSF is buying another 144-car ferry, replacing the Mukilteo terminal, and replacing what appears to be the Bainbridge Island passenger ramp at Colman Dock. RESERVATIONS Reservations will go forward for the San Juan Islands. However, Puget Sound reservations won’t be considered until after 2017. Reservations are costing more than expected because of the staff needed to sort and stage the vehi-

cles into what works out to be eight different categories. WAVE2GO WSF will be replacing theWave2Go so there’ll be only one electronic ticketing/payment system for all of WSDOT by 2018. Wave2Go was an adaption of the “Galaxy Admissions” system built for amusement parks. The 1980s software didn’t work well with Windows 7 or 8 and was overwhelmed by WSF’s 500 different fares. TRAINING There’s $4.5 million for ferry and terminal crew training, an apprentice program, and an upgrade to WSF’s radar/simulator training lab. STANDBY BOAT WSF intended to maintain the 34-car M/V Hiyu as the standby boat while decommissioning the Klahowya.

This will be reversed so that the 87-car Klahowya is the standby boat starting in 2016. MARCHING ORDERS Secretary Peterson set 13 tasks for WSF’s new director, Lynne Griffith, to restore union relations and to improve ferry crewing and reliability. I suggest something fundamental to WSF’s survival: turn around WSF’s downward financial spiral. Fare hikes from 2000 to 2007 cost WSF 15 percent of its riders and, since the time, lost another 8 percent. Meanwhile, costs continue upward at 3.5 percent per year. Even a well of new taxes would run dry if this disparity continues. — FerryFare is written by Walt Elliott, chairman of the Kingston Ferry Advisory Committee.

N.K. Rotarians ready to give Kitsap the fright of their lives

alloween comes once a year, but work on Kitsap Haunted Fairgrounds is in progress for months. Kitsap Haunted Fairgrounds, a non-profit group, is a joint effort between Kingston-North Kitsap Rotary and Kitsap Haunted Productions. The design, building, staffing, and teardown are a 100 percent volunteer effort and the net proceeds go back to the community and to charities designated by the Kingston-NK Rotary. Kitsap Haunted Fairgrounds is open every Friday and Saturday evening in October as well as Nov. 1. You’ll see Kingston Rotarians and Kingston high school students from

ROTARY NEWS By NANCY MARTIN the Interact Club dressed as actors, working in the ticket booths, or otherwise assisting with the event. There are more than 120 volunteers that run “the haunt,” many of them student actors. The “full scare” experience runs from 6-11 p.m. on Oct. 10 and 11, 17 and 18, 24 and 25, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. Admission is $12, but a canned food donation will get you $1 off the admission price. There is also a VIP admission of $20, which is good for two times through the haunt plus front-of-theline privileges. For more

Rotarians began their preparation efforts back in March when Kingston Rotary’s past president Meisha Rouser, Jessica Larson, and Scott Larson traveled to the Transworld Haunt Convention in St. Louis, Missouri. James and Stephanie Tubberville from Kitsap Haunted Productions joined them. The convention is the largest trade show of its kind in the world. Each year the haunt industry gathers to network, get new ideas, purchase products, and attend seminars on how to run a safe and successful haunt. What is “the haunt”

all about? The haunt experience takes place in 22,000-square-feet of indoor space spanning three buildings at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds. The entire haunt, ticket booth, and waiting area are indoors. There are no age recommendations and generally leave the decision of age

up to the parents. We have seen kids around the age of 10 go through without a problem, and adults in the very next group refuse to enter. Our “lights on” time, which runs from 5-6 p.m. each day of the haunt, is specifically for young children, but parental guidance is advised.

Concessions are available outside “the haunt,” and students from the Gallery School of Music and Dance will perform to keep the undead entertained while waiting in line. If you have purchased your ticket before the ticket window See HAUNT, Page 20

New ideas, members for Kiwanis NKF&R raises $700 during 9/11 breakfast for health services KINGSTON T KIWANIS NORTH KITSAP he Greater Kingston Kiwanis was visited in September by Colleen Carey, the executive director of the Chamber of Commerce. Colleen is a very energetic and a dynamic speaker who shared what the chamber has done, is doing, and asked for input on what citizens and service clubs would like to see the chamber do in the future. She discussed the new webpage that is ready to roll, the new office in the NorthStar building next to the old Kingston Hotel, and invited anybody interested to visit her office. The Chamber is looking for ideas to help with their mission to emphasize what a great little town we have. The goal is to rewrite the Chamber of Commerce code of ethics and mission statement and, is asking for ideas. The Chamber after hours was held on Sept. 11 and Greater Kingston Kiwanis and North Kitsap Rotary were the sponsors. It’s a great way for our service clubs to get together and discuss common goals.

site. For you younger readers, that was the missile system used at the beginning of the Cold War with the Soviet Union to shoot down Russian bombers that might attack Kingston (really Seattle). Today, it’s the Northwest Laborers Employees Training Center and it has been around for a long time in our little city by the sea. Rod Walsh, an instructors at the school, and Mike Warren, the school’s director, gave our club an interesting an informative presentation on what they do. It’s kind of amazing, and some of our members had no idea they were in town. The school has approximately 622 Laborer apprentices that are being trained on tunnel boring (think light rail in Seattle), crane operation and safety, proper methods of using cement and other building products that all go together to build our infrastructure. The training center is like a small college with dining facilities and dormitories. It is definitely worth a visit.

We inducted a new member at our last meeting, Paula Baily. Paula is the director of finance and business for the North Kitsap School District. She has many years’ experience as a school administrator and, along with husband Doug and daughters Caryl and Miranda, settled in nicely in our little town. They love to bowl and have a couple of 300 bowlers in the family. Paula joined our club to support her community and take care of children which is “priority one” with Kiwanis. We sure would like to induct a few more like minded community members that want to give back and help young people meet their goals. In my next article I will talk a little bit about “Kingston Cares,” a group that is trying to secure a safe haven for homeless folks during the winter, and some exciting projects that our club will have over the fall and winter months, like our Halloween carnival and Santa’s Workshop.

NKF&R requests more funding for services

With the vast majority of its funding coming from property taxes, NKF&R’s budget continues to suffer from the impacts of years of declining property values. Levy rates have been at their caps for several years and, as a result, the district’s tax revenues have dropped as property values fell. In 2014 alone NKF&R’s revenue budget is almost $600,000 less than it was in 2009. The district has worked hard to adapt: positions have been left vacant, wages have been frozen, capital purchases have been deferred, cooperative efforts with other

By MICHÈLE LABODA agencies intensified, discretionary spending held to a minimum and more. During the same time, costs beyond the district’s control continued to rise. Other local fire departments have reduced their minimum staffing levels to save overtime costs and deal with similar revenue shortfalls, but NKF&R has already set the minimums at the lowest level possible for staffing four fire stations. With 86 percent of the district’s budget committed to personnel costs, any additional reductions to station staffing would significantly impact levels of service. NKF&R is proposing a temporary maintenance and operations levy of $600,000 per year, for four years. If approved, the special levy would cost taxpayers an estimated additional $0.25 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation and preserve the district’s current levels of service.

NKF&R’s levy rates and tax revenues are calculated on the district’s total assessed valuation. When we say that the district’s assessed valuation is down 25 percent from five years ago, we are talking about the total. Some individual properties may have lost more than 25 percent in value, others less. Some individual properties may have even recovered their value to 2009 levels. Others have not. Regardless, the overall valuation of the district is one-quarter less than it was in 2009. Even as the total assessed valuation begins to rebound, statutory levy lids and legal limits on annual increases prevent the district from recovering the compounded losses without voter-approval of additional funding.

Tips on catching a cold, destroying the immune system I SPINAL COLUMN By THOMAS LAMAR, D.C.

recently posed the following question to my patients: Suppose, for a moment, that you had to catch a cold. How would you go about doing it? The answers I received ran the gamut, everything from spending time at a children’s daycare to kissing sick people; riding a school bus all day; and, yes, licking door knobs. And while all of these answers and the many others I heard of similar theme are important ingredients to surmounting this challenge of catching a

One Level Living On Acreage

or not the germs are given a suitable host environment (soil) to take root and grow. So here, in no particular order, is Dr. Lamar’s surefire way to “catch a cold.” It’s all about finding ways to “kick your immune system in the teeth.” 1. Do not sleep. We all know that we feel better after a good night’s sleep. Research has shown that it is during sleep that our immune response enhances and does its best work at fighting off whatever

cold, they will all fall short if you fail to address one very critical component: the health of your immune system. In other words, is your immune system run down enough to let the Germ d’Jour walk right in and set up camp? Even Louis Pasteur, the father of the germ theory, acknowledged this fact on his deathbed when he stated, “It’s the soil, not the seed.” What he meant was it’s not the germs (seeds) that cause disease per se, but whether

germ might be attempting to invade us. 2. Eat lots of junk food. Foods that lack antioxidants and are devoid of adequate nutrient levels are known to suppress the immune system. Also pay particular attention to increasing the amount of sugary foods in your diet. Sugar is an excellent immune buster. By competing with Vitamin C for residence in our white blood cells, sugar often will elbow its way in an take the seat that was meant for this

infection-fighting-vitamin. 3. Get stressed out. Why not invite the IRS to do an audit? A meta-analysis of stress research over the past 30 years seems to show that our immune systems suppress when subjected to chronic, long-term stressors. 4. Exercise? Forget it. Research has shown that consistent exercise of moderate intensity brings about physiological changes in the immune system. Specifically, during moderate exercise macrophages increase in number and circulate through the body more quickly — enabling them to kill bacteria and viruses more effectively. 5. If you don’t smoke, start! 6. Do some good ol’ fashioned binge drinking. While one drink does not seem to negatively affect the immune system, three or more does. Alcohol creates an overall nutritional deficiency in the body which deprives the it of valuable immune-boosting nutrients. It also suppresses the ability of the white blood cells to kill off germs and multiply. The action of killer white cells on cancer cells is inhibited, and the ability of macrophages to produce tumor necrosis factor is lessened. See SPINAL, Page 23

Does the building have a permit?

NKF&R

ear Jan: The home we are buying has an extra little building on it. We plan to use it for an office. How do we find out if it was built legally? — ASB Dear ASB: First off, it depends upon the size of the building. If an outbuilding is under 200 square feet, it does not need a Kitsap County building permit. If it is larger than 200 square feet, then you do need one.

The first place I look is on the kitsapgov.com website. In the blue bar on the right hand side is a link to Parcel Search. Click on this, then mark the box at the top for tax parcel number. Enter the number and hit enter. In a pop-up box you will see a link to DCD Permit Info. Click on this box and it will show building permit history. I have seen it where the permit did not show up here though, so don’t

give up. Call Kitsap County Community Development and ask them to search their records. Many times they are archived so it may take them a couple of days to get back to you. If you find out there is not a permit, you may want to negotiate having the seller get it permitted, as this will come back to haunt you when you go to resell the home. Building without a per-

In last month’s column, we stated the district’s total assessed valuation had dropped by nearly 30 percent since 2009. The actual drop in total assessed valuation was actually about 25 percent. Although these figures don’t change the size of the resulting revenue problems (see above), the math error was brought to our attention and we feel it’s important to share the correction with our readers.
