Second culvert to be removed from estuary

A pressing matter

By KIPP ROBERTSON EDITOR

KINGSTON — A project that began 13 years ago is expected to be completed in 2017.

The culvert under West Kingston Road will be removed. It will improve the flow of water within the Carpenter Creek estuary. It is the second of two culverts identified in 2001 that members of Stillwaters Environmental Center wanted to see replaced.

“It will be a huge enhancement … allowing the free exchange of salt and fresh water,” Kitsap County Public Works Director Jon Brand said.

The work is being done by the county and funded completely by the U.S. Navy. The Kitsap County Commissioners approved the contract with the Navy on Sept. 8; the Navy earmarked $2,972,130 for the project. County officials met See CULVERT, Page 7

ShareNet expands programs in 2014, maintains level of service

By KIPP ROBERTSON EDITOR

KINGSTON — ShareNet not only added a new program in 2014, it reached a milestone.

While ShareNet’s employees and volunteers were starting the Fresh Look program, the Food

to Grow On program that helps feed students from the four Kingston schools broke the 100-student mark.

“That means among the four area

schools, 100 school kids are served every week during the year,” ShareNet Executive Director Mark Ince said.

receive food during summer as well.

The program provides students food to take home on the weekends. The students are identified by school counselors, based on academic performance, participation in the free or reduced

meal program at school, or other factors.

Ince said the number of students in the Food to Grow On program will grow throughout the year as relationships are built.

Hoover thought he was ‘luckiest man alive’ Nov. 8 celebration of life for former mayor, retired educator, volunteer

By RICHARD WALKER STAFF WRITER

POULSBO — Hal Hoover had so much enthusiasm for people and for life that injury and pain couldn’t keep him down.

According to his daughter, Kristy Trione, Hoover spent much of his life in pain. His back was injured when he was a child growing up in Idaho, but that didn’t keep him from graduating from high school early to join the Navy during World War II. When he was 23, he injured an eye while working on a car.

Years later, after he suffered a stroke, he joked that he was “doing pretty good for a guy with one good eye and half a brain.”

Perhaps you’ve walked on a North Kitsap trail and bumped into Hoover and his wife, Helen. He likely stopped and talked to you, your kids, your dog, and maybe adopted them all on site. “I have so many honorary brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews,” Trione said.

Even in his last year of life as he wrestled with prostate cancer, he skied Stevens Pass and Whistler; rode his bicycle in the Fourth of July parade; volunteered as a docent at Point No Point Lighthouse; raised money for the Kingston Kiwanis Club, Village Green Community Center and the proposed Boys & Girls Club; tutored at Wolfle Elementary School;

and sang in a barbershop quartet.

“He worked through his pain,” Helen Hoover said.

“He found out on Sept. 15 that the cancer had spread from his prostate to his spine. It went pretty fast after that.”

Hal Hoover, a retired music educator, school district administrator and former mayor of Poulsbo, died Oct. 10 at Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton. He was 88. A public celebration of his life is scheduled for Nov. 8, noon to 4 p.m., in the Kingston High School Gymnasium.

According to people who knew him, there will be a lot to celebrate.

“You won’t find anybody who doesn’t have a Hal story,” said Walt Elliott, a Kingston port commissioner and volunteer for many causes.

Harold Milton (Hal) Hoover was born on July 21, 1926 in Paul, Idaho to Alfred and Maude Hoover. He had three sisters, Elizabeth, Margaret and Helen. He

graduated from Emmett High School in 1944 and served on the USS Blount (AK-163), a cargo ship that delivered troops, goods and equipment to locations in the South Pacific. He later attended Washington State University under the GI Bill, earning a master’s degree in music education.

North Kitsap School District hired him in 1950 as the director of elementary and junior high music education. He and Helen Jean Ladd of Spokane married that December and started a family that grew, his daughter wrote, “exponentially beyond the bounds of blood with his big heart.”

You can make a difference W

hen you contribute to ShareNet’s Neighbor Aid campaign, you make a big difference in someone’s life — possibly someone you

know.

In 2013, the community donated $73,344 to the campaign — almost half of the organization’s annual budget. Here’s what that money will do: n Keep the food bank and clothing bank in operation. n Make nutritious food available for school children on weekends. n Help families and individuals facing eviction or needing help keeping their utilities on. n Enable ShareNet to continue building community partnerships that help meet local food needs year-round, such as Kingston Farm and Garden Co-op’s Giving Garden, Food Lifeline, and Kingston Albertsons.

Here’s what local residents told ShareNet executive director Mark Ince in his column in the October edition of Kingston Community News: “I am a disabled vet with 30 years in the community.

ShareNet gets me through the month.”

“Our family thanks God for ShareNet. Back in 2010 I got very sick and spent months in hospitals, lost my job, and later our home. Then in 2012 my wife took ill and could no longer work. So now we just live on disability. I make too much income to get EBT and really not enough to live on. At first my pride stopped me [from] coming to ShareNet. Now we don’t have to worry so much about food.”

“My mother is 90 years old and has medical and nutritional needs that ShareNet helps me meet on our limited budget. We both have medication needs not fully covered by Medicare. We are both grateful for the extra support the community shares with us.”

“Our family lost our home in a fire. ShareNet was there to help in any way they could. Thanks to them we will bounce back from this tragedy.”

ShareNet has kicked off its Neighbor Aid 2014 camnpaign. When you contribute to ShareNet — whether it’s a can of food or a few dollars — you make a difference in the lives of others.

“You won’t know the name of the person or family you helped, but you might pass them on the street one day — someone able to smile again from the support you and ShareNet provided, someone with one less overwhelming concern that month,” Ince once wrote. “You won’t know their name, but that help will have reached them just the same, with incredible speed and right in your own backyard.

You haven’t just made a donation, you’ve made a difference.”

ShareNet is a critical part of the safety net in Eglon, Hansville, Indianola, Kingston, Little Boston, Port Gamble, and a portion of Poulsbo and Suquamish.

It’s there for you and your family — and your fellow community members — when needed. Contribute to Neighbor Aid and keep a great local resource going.

Judges support Bradley for judge We urge the citizens of Kitsap County to vote for Claire Bradley for Department 1 of Kitsap County District Court.

For 32 years, Kitsap County District Court Judge James Riehl has served our community with the highest standards of judicial temperament, knowledge and ethics. In large part due to Judge Riehl’s leadership, the Kitsap County District Court bench is known throughout the entire State of Washington as being on the forefront of both innovation and accessibility. Judge Riehl’s retirement provides the citizens of Kitsap County an opportunity to ensure that this legacy continues.

Kitsap County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Claire Bradley is ready to carry on the excellent work of Judge Riehl in Department 1 of Kitsap County District Court. Claire has successfully tried some of the toughest cases we see in the courthouse. Every trial court judge in Kitsap County has endorsed Claire’s candidacy. She has earned the overwhelming support of the Kitsap Bar Association membership. Many members of the criminal defense bar endorse Claire. To have the support of courtroom adversaries is perhaps the most impressive endorsement of all. Those in leadership positions of local law enforcement are also supporting Claire.

Claire has the personality, intelligence, work ethic and dedication to continue to serve the citizens of Kitsap County. For more information about Claire, please go to www.bradleyforjudge.com.

I-594 will reduce gun violence As a pediatrician, the greatest impact I had on my patients was not by treating their illnesses and injuries, but by preventing them: avoiding the risks of measles and meningitis by vaccines and the risk of serious head injury with a bike helmet.

While laws requiring seat belts have not prevented all injuries to children in motor vehicle accidents, chances are that you, or someone you know and love, is alive or uninjured today because we have this common-sense safeguard.

Likewise, requiring a criminal background check before selling a gun in Washington will not eliminate all gun violence here.

to further his cause? This is the same person who decided he knew best what New Yorkers should eat and drink. I suppose all his money has endowed him with special insight. The same could be said for those billionaires in Washington who were brought into the financing fold. Why does it seem that those with untold wealth see it as their duty to show the rest of us the error in our ways?

I’ve seen statistics touting the effect in other states where background checks are in place. You’ve seen these: a certain percentage less police officers shot … a certain percentage of domestic violence against women prevented. I am wondering just where these statistics originate? What data are we being used for this comparison? Which states are in the so-called study? Statistics by themselves are meaningless.

Any statistician can tell you that.

We have background checks for all legitimate weapons purchases from dealers. There is no record of private gun sales nor should there be. I, too, have read statistics that show only a fraction of a percent of felons rely on gun shows to procure weapons. They preSee LETTERS, Page 5

Preparing for our care at the end of life D

eath is something we generally don’t like thinking or talking about, whether it’s our own or a loved one’s.

When death must be referred to, it’s with euphemisms that distance us from the reality and the sacredness of the situation (e.g., “kicked the bucket” or “passed on”).

Death requires preparation in order to make it as good as possible. Most don’t want to go through unwanted or unnecessary medical procedures at the end of life and would prefer end-of-life talks with their physicians. Few actually want to outlive their brain.

And no one wants a long, drawn-out ICU death that leaves our family totally traumatized.

We have become handsoff observers to death.

As I understand it from a prior writer, no one can purchase a gun at a gun show in this state without already being approved.

There is no so-called loophole. The only persons skirting the law are those who would not pass a background check. These people would stay in the shadows and never comply with this initiative.

Oh, and one more thing. Have you noticed that when politicians say of a ballot issue that “it just makes sense” that there is much more to their motives than our well-being?

and will continue to do so for the next 19 years.

It’s dawning on aging Americans that they should have more control over their own end-of-life healthcare options. Do we really want to be helpless, dependent and in seemingly endless plugged-in suffering? Or would we prefer to die at home with loved ones nearby, with the help of Hospice? This is by no means a premature death, this is a natural death.

“When you’re young and healthy, you think you just need a Plan A: Fix me, heal me, cure me, maximize my longevity. But as you age or grow sicker, Plan A is no longer realistic and you need to formulate your own Plan B, based on your own values.

independent as possible; b) keep me free from suffering, emotional and physical; c) support my family; and d) put me in the pathway to a Good Death.

If you don’t ask your doctor to be frank, you may never learn when it’s time to think hard about your Plan B “and get everyone in your family on the same page,” says Katy Butler, author of “Knocking on Heaven’s Door: The Path to a Better Way of Death.”

So, there are things to do in advance of becoming incapacitated at the end of your life, if you haven’t already.

Advance healthcare directives are documents saying what kinds of medical treatments you want or don’t want should you be unable to communicate these wishes at the time. It is crucial to let your physi-

cian and family know your wishes in advance. Keep in mind, you can change or cancel either of the following directives at any time.

1) Health care directive (living will). This document says that if your condition is terminal and you are incapacitated, you either do or do not want your dying to be prolonged artificially with a ventilator or with tubes of nutrition and hydration. No heroic measures. This is necessary in case your health care proxy is unable to perform for any reason.

2) Durable power of attorney for health care (health care proxy). This document says who (husband, wife, daughter, son) you want to make your health care decisions if you are terminal and incapacitated.

Unfortunately, in case

of an emergency (911), advance directives are usually not recognized until the patient is under the direct care of a physician in the hospital. There is, however, another form that is much more powerful, the POLST. 3) Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) is an additional form that helps anyone with an advanced life-limiting illness by putting that person’s wishes into actual physician orders.

Washington is one of 15 states with similar systems in place and nearly 30 other states are developing similar systems.

Can hospitals and physicians work with us on this?

Serious end-of-life talks are essential if we and our families are to go through this process with dignity and grace.

Donald Stevens, M.D.

We are pleased to welcome new patients to South Kingston Internal Medicine. We offer an alternative to larger health care systems while maintaining referral relationships with all specialists locally and regionally.

He was a Navy veteran, teacher, school administrator and former mayor of Poulsbo. While he had an impressive career, one of the things he will be most remembered for is being a community volunteer extraordinaire. He was all about responding to pressing needs and investing in the community.

Hoover was a huge champion of the Boys & Girls Club. When he joined Kiwanis, he immediately

became the club’s most ardent and consistent supporters — joined the board, attended every board meeting, attended every fundraiser and volunteered at the club tutoring kids.

Hal’s engagement with the Boys & Girls Club was further proof of his enduring passion for the welfare of children. He was delighted to know that a permanent home for the Boys & Girls Club in the new community center would start

construction in less than a year.

The community is saddened by Hal’s passing but lifted up by how he lived his life. Helen, his beloved wife of 64 years, has asked that memorial contributions be made to the Kingston Boys & Girls Club.

Even in death, Hoover is inspiring people to invest in their community.

The Village Green Foundation Board is grateful for Hal Hoover and his

government,” Erickson said. “I used to call him the ‘colonel of Kingston’ because he just had presence about him. He was really a remarkable man and he was deeply loved.”

Pat Bennett-Forsman, president of the Greater Kingston Kiwanis Club, nominated Hoover posthumously for the Poulsbo Chamber of Commerce’s Pearce Dressel Award, which is presented to the volunteer of the year.

“He was the ultimate volunteer, present at everything, always finding the best in every person he encountered and sincerely believing he was the luckiest man alive, in the best town, with the best people,”

Bennett-Forsman wrote to the Herald.

“Hal volunteered at Wolfle Elementary as a reading and math tutor for the past 10 years, usually spending most of every Tuesday there, working with first-graders up to fifth. He was their special ‘grandpa’ and the kids just loved him. I remember one very bright student he was working with in math, teaching her geometry at grade 3. She loved his challenges. One day almost a week after a lesson, she saw him in the hall and came running up to him saying, ‘Mr. Hoover, I get it.’

She had spent days working on the problem. He was that kind of a teacher.”

Bennett-Forman wrote that Hoover was “ever positive,” even a week before his death. “While in hospital, he was planning a ski trip and telling Helen that they needed to get their Halloween booth ready for the Kiwanis Halloween Kids Carnival.

Hoover was founding commodore of the Poulsbo Yacht Club, lent his rich bass voice to barbershop choruses for 37 years, and earned a private pilot’s license.

Despite his many involvements, he always made time for his children and their interests.

“He was an amazing, loving dad,” Trione said. “He was there for every single kid, every grandkid, every great-grandkid — and for his adopted kids and families from all over the place.

We had an exchange student from Thailand; she and her family are coming [for his celebration of life].

We’re seeing such an outpouring of love from people.”

He helped his children build their houses, and he bragged that he built “the nicest house in Poulsbo,” his daughter said.

“He was a fun guy. And

he was always there for us.”

The Hoovers moved to Kingston in 2004 after Hal suffered a stroke. He worked hard to get back on skis, back on his bicycle, and involved in his community. He jumped into activities in his new hometown; he and his wife, a former North Kitsap School Board member, advocated for construction of Kingston High School and work to get a bond measure approved for its construction.

The Hoovers divided their time between Kingston, Pearson Point, and Whistler. Helen Hoover said her husband’s ashes will be spread “at a lot of his favorite places.”

He is survived by Helen, his wife of 64 years; children, Kim (Marcy), Kregg (Kimberlee), Kristy Trione (David), and Konni Barich (Larry); 11 grandchildren, six great-grandchildren with one on the way; nieces, nephews, and many surrogate children and grandchildren.

Culvert

Continued from page 1 on Oct. 6 with the consultant who will design the bridge, Brand said.

A call for construction bids won’t go out until early 2017, Brand said.

The culvert and section of roadway that will be replaced are located near the bottom of the hill of West Kingston Road, not far from Siyaya Avenue.

The bridge will have a 150foot span and will replace the 5-foot-wide culvert. The bridge will have two spans.

Construction is expected to start in summer 2017. A portion of West Kingston Road will be closed during construction, Brand said.

The reason for a complete closure is because of the expense of allowing through traffic during construction, Brand said.

The culvert on West Kingston Road follows the replacement of a culvert on South Kingston Road in 2012. The 90-foot

Ferry

Continued from page 1 service in Bremerton in October 2015 and expanding to service in Kingston in the fall of 2017. Before ferry services can begin, Kitsap Transit will need to continue planning, including finding funding. The plan needs to be endorsed

by Kitsap County Board of Commissioners and receive “adequate local tax support,” Kitsap Transit passenger-only ferry plan manager Carla Sawyer told the Herald in July.

Under the proposed plan presented to the Kitsap Transit Board on Sept. 26, services would include Bremerton, Kingston and Southworth. Southworth would get a ferry in 2022 or 2023. The routes would go to Pier 50 in Seattle.

Sawyer said she expects the transit board to deliberate the topic in the coming months. Launching three routes would cost the transit service about $39 million between 2015-2023, according to the Sept. 26 presentation.

Potential funding sources have been identified and include sales taxes, motor vehicle excise taxes and property taxes; the state Department of Transportation Regional Mobility Grant Program; and federal funding.

Current Kitsap Transit

single-span bridge helped restore more natural tidal flow between the 30-acre estuary and Apple Tree Cove.

During the construction of the bridge on South Kingston Road, traffic remained open. It cost $700,000 to keep the road open during construction, Brand said. A temporary bypass was constructed so traffic could make it over the waterway.

“The cost of keeping the road open [during construction] is really expensive,” Brand said.

The culvert project was not the first on the list for mitigation work in the county. A lagoon in Keyport was originally the next mitigation site, but high levels of contaminants in the lagoon stopped the project, according to Suquamish Tribe ecologist Steve Todd.

The culvert replacement is part of a $9 million agreement between the Navy and Tribes in the Hood Canal region for mitigation projects that affect fish

and shellfish, following the announcement in 2012 that a second explosives-handling wharf would be built at Bangor.

“There’s been interest in opening that up for many years,” Todd said of the West Kingston Road culvert. “It provided a good fit [with the agreement between the Tribes and Navy.]”

The removal of the culvert could result in some significant changes in the estuary. The culvert was “almost a partial dam” between the Carpenter Creek and the estuary, Todd said. The small culvert resulted in trapped sediment. With the culvert removed, there will be added tidal movement.

The estuary is frequented by fish transferring from streams to the ocean and used by migrating fish coming from the southern Puget Sound region. Juvenile salmon, steelhead and chinook feed in the estuary.

Changes in vegetation could be seen as well.

revenues are insufficient to support the proposed service, according to the presentation.

The proposed schedule for the three routes include three morning roundtrips and six afternoon roundtrips. Respondents of a survey indicated they would like to see the service expanded into weekday evenings, even before weekend service, Sawyer said.

The goal would be to build commuter confidence in the service, Sawyer told the Herald. If Kitsap Transit could show commuters the ferry is not a test and will be around for the long haul, it could help build ridership, she said.

Along with new passenger-only services from Kitsap to Seattle, improvements would be made at the three proposed locations.

Kitsap Transit has proposed using the same dock the Port of Kingston did for its passenger-only service

— the long walkway and dock located adjacent to the south side of the WSF terminal. Improvements under the plan include repairs to decking, architectural improvements to cover the walkway, signage, fresh water, and shore power.

Improvements wouldn’t be “terribly costly,” Sawyer said.

Southworth’s largest hurdle is the lack of a docking facility, Sawyer said. That will make getting a service there more delayed.

For Bremerton, a ferry and facility already exists.

In order to start a service there Kitsap Transit needs a way to subsidize operating costs and the crew to operate it — and approval.

Pier 50 in Seattle is expected to receive improvements as well. That would include a sheltered terminal and increased capacity. The pier remodel is part of the Colman Dock project; the passenger-only facility project will receive funding

The culvert under West Kingston Road is expected to be removed and replaced by a bridge in 2017.

Currently, there is more freshwater marsh vegetation in the upper portion of the estuary, Todd said.

There may be a change to more saltwater vegetation in the future, with the estuary returning to salt marsh, he said.

Because of a lack of tidal exchange and increase in water runoff, the estuary has become more freshwater, said Naomi Maasberg, administrative director of Stillwaters Environmental Center. That has resulted

in more freshwater vegetation. Under more natural conditions, the estuary would be more of a mix of salt and fresh water — brackish.

Todd said the habitat will be monitored over a period of years to see what specific changes happen.

Stillwaters Environmental Center has monitored changes since the first culvert was removed.

Though the South Kingston Road culvert was first to be replaced,

Maasberg said it was the West Kingston Road culvert that started it all. That is because West Kingston Road was considered for widening at the time, without much change to the culvert, she said. Back in the early 2000s, however, there wasn’t enough money to remove the culvert.

It is a long time in the making, Maasberg said.

“It will be so awesome,” she said of the culvert removal. “So excited just to watch.”

from King County. A new barge is expected that can accommodate four vessels, Sawyer said.

Though things might get tight at Pier 50; in 2012, there were four passenger-only routes being run from there, Sawyer said.

That took a lot of coordination between skippers, she said. King County currently operates two passenger-on-

ly ferry routes from the pier.

Though there are existing ways for Kitsap residents to make it to Seattle via ferry, commute times with passenger ferries could be the biggest benefactor. The vessels would range in speed, from 28 to 34 knots. Bremerton, for example, already has a ferry that sails directly to

Seattle. A passenger-only ferry, however, would cut commute times in about half. Total crossing time from Bremerton would be about 35 minutes; from Southworth, 30 minutes; from Kingston, 40 minutes.

The proposed roundtrip cost from Bremerton and Southworth is $11, from Kingston $15.

‘Our culture is alive’: Totem pole planned for Point Julia Jimmy Price works with his son, Manny, on a project. Price hopes more younger S’Klallams will get into traditional art.

ed family members who arrived here to visit by canoe, their songs arriving first, carried over the water. Joe Waterhouse remembers visiting here in the 1930s with his relative, Lach-ka-nim, son of Klallam leader Chetzamoka. They pulled in their canoe from Tsetsibus, which means “Where the sun rises” — you know the place as Port Hadlock. He recalled that visit as he watched canoes once again arrive at Point Julia during the 2012 Canoe

Journey.

The cedar was alive when the U.S. government burned down the place where families had made their homes, raised their families, for 80 years, and bought land 1,234 acres for a reservation.

And yet, Point Julia remains a center of S’Klallam community and family life, and the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe — which has grown in economic and political influence — is a chief advocate

for the health of the bay that has sustained its people for centuries.

Now, the cedar will stand at this place, a 15-foot blessing to those who leave the bay to harvest at sea, and a testimony to all who see it that this still is an indigenous place. It will be a testimony to all who see it that, despite a century and a half of change, “Our culture is still alive,” Price said.

Price, whose public art includes the two welcome figures at the entrance to The Point Casino and Event Center, began work on the pole in October. The pole is expected to be raised in January or February. Price said the pole will depict an octopus holding a crab, representing sea life; a killer whale, a symbol of the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe; and a watchman, a human figure representing safe return for fishermen and women.

Price’s first step will be to remove the back and core of the log. Next, he’ll measure the sections for the octopus, the killer whale, and the watchman. Then,

making “large-scale” produce purchases to increase the amount of fresh and frozen food it is distributing. In the past, about 10 percent of the food distributed was produce; that climbed to 30-32 percent, Ince said.

“That was a big leap,” he said. “Glad we can diversify our stock.”

ShareNet continued the partnership with Kitsap Community Resources it started in 2013, providing financial education for adults. The program focuses on helping clients faced with poverty, giving them tools to help them succeed.

Ditto for ShareNet’s partnership with Wolfle Elementary, which “has deepened,” Ince said.

In 2014, ShareNet sponsored a series of parenting education classes.

ShareNet paid for instructors and provided food.

Ince said the nonprofit is looking to repeat the classes, and possibly expand them, in 2015.

Though still about two months from the end of the year, Ince estimates ShareNet will have provided more than 12,000 service instances — the number of times a person

or family is helped. The service instances could be an increase of at least 5 percent over the previous year.

ShareNet is in the midst of its annual Neighbor Aid campaign. The fundraising effort’s main goal is to provide money for day-today operations. The annual budget is approximately $150,000. Eight to 10 percent of the budget comes from grants, 5 to 7 percent comes from federal programs, and the rest comes from Neighbor Aid and individual contributions through the year.

POINT JULIA — The 800-year-old western red cedar that S’Klallam artist Jimmy Price will transform into a totem pole will tell the story like no one can, will stand as a symbol of permanence in a place where others forced change for a century and a half.

People indigenous to this place had been living off the gifts of the sea for at least two centuries here when this cedar was a sapling, according to shell midden dating by the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe’s archeologist.The cedar was alive during centuries of births and passings, centuries of ceremonies and celebrations, centuries of gatherings and harvests.

It was alive during the time of Change, when men from Maine built a mill across the bay at the place the People knew as Teekalet, and persuaded the People to move to this marshy place that became known as Point Julia.

It was alive when the people at Point Julia greet-

he’ll sketch and block those sections out on the log.

Then, the carving begins.

It’s one of two poles being created; S’Klallam artist Brian Perry is carving a pole for Heronswood.

The logs came from a supply owned by the Tribe.

The Point Julia pole follows efforts by the Tribe to improve the health of the bay and the point. The Point Julia pier was removed by the Tribe in fall; it was considered unsafe and had creosoted pilings. Debris on the beach and pilings near the Tribe’s fish pens were also removed.

Price hopes the Point Julia and Heronswood projects will encourage younger S’Klallams to pursue traditional art.

Price, 37, has been carving for 10 years. He apprenticed under his wife’s uncle, S’Klallam master carver Joe Ives, and received additional instruction from David Boxley, the noted Tsimshian artist and culture-bearer.

Price divides his day between driving bus for Head Start; raising a son,

Manny; and creating art.

His goal is to become an artist full-time.

He’s a prolific part-time artist. You can find his work in Bluewater Artworks in Poulsbo, the Lower Elwha Heritage Center in Port Angeles, and the Jamestown S’Klallam Gallery in Blyn. On display at Lower Elwha is a box drum he made with Boxley.

He’s carved paddles, masks and rattles; and painted Northwest Coast designs on skateboard decks. His prints and shirts are in multiple runs. He carved the panels outside the elder center and the gym, and the signs for the S’Klallam skatepark and Jake Jones Park on the bluff above Point Julia. He was selected, with S’Klallam storyteller Elaine Grinnell, to present at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 2012.

He likes to experiment with color and media — he wants to produce Northwest Coast Native art in metal, using tools left by his father, who passed away

Dredge project moves forward; port preps for winter Equipment will arrive at marina in November

O

n Oct. 16, Kingston por t commissioners signed a contract with American Construction Company to dredge up to 17,000 cubic yards of soil out of our marina entrance.

It has been quite a journey to get this project permitted and approved. You will see the barges and machinery moving into the bay shortly after the first of November. We have attempted to schedule the project to not interfere with other activities and we are aware that the Kingston Cove Yacht Club is conducting a salmon derby on Nov. 1.

Our wonderful summer season is done and I think it was quite a good one. Lots of visiting boaters came here, many for the first time and dozens

The many activities sponsored by our Chamber of Commerce, our wonderful Farmers Market, the Rotary Beer Garden, and many of our special one-ofa-kind businesses in town all blend together to make our town a special place to visit.

You may have noticed the big port tent is down; we put it away for about six months each year to protect

it from the severe winter winds and to comply with local fire codes. Membrane structures (which a tent is) are only allowed to be up for six months each year.

When you drive through Port Gamble, you will notice that the large tents used for weddings and other events there are also down for the winter.

If you have a boat moored in the marina, this should be the month that you go take a good look at her and make sure your fenders, mooring lines and shore power cords are all in good condition. An extra (double) bow and stern line is never a bad idea any time of year.

His father was a retired shipyard worker and second-generation Marine whose own father was a Navajo code talker in World War II. Price said when he worked on an art piece, his father was always ready with a helping hand or constructive criticism. “My dad

was my biggest supporter ... It’s weird not having him there — it’s a little off.”

His father’s love and wisdom, and his own love for his culture and his family, carry him as he gets into “the zone” — that moment in his work when he blocks everything out and “it’s all Native energy, just focus and work,” he said.

As Price prepares to work on the project, he says humbly, “I want to thank the Tribe for giving me the opportunity to do this.”

KINGSTON KIWANIS

By PAT BENNETTFORMAN races, a greased pole climb, slug races and a chainsaw contest livened the holiday.

After the Fourth of July, conversations with Mike Wallace and Cy Wyse soon morphed into the notion of establishing a service club in the area to help neighbors and children and to “get Kingston away from its ‘wild west of Kitsap County’ reputation.”

Liking the Kiwanis mission of “Serving the Children of the World,” Lee, Wyse and Wallace, along with Quentin Gillman, Bill Reynolds, Bud Meredith, Pastor Duane Sabin and eight others, formed Kingston’s first service club. With help from Poulsbo members, includ-

ing Hal Hoover and Tom Brooks, the club was officially charted in 1984.

“Old-time Kingston residents will remember the Kingston Inn as serving the best breakfast in town in those days and that is where the Kiwanis Club met until the Inn burned down,” Lee recalled. “We had a lot of fun and helped a lot of people.”

Kiwanis focused on “Children — Priority One” projects around Kingston and on the elderly and taking care of people living at home.

Recognizing the value of the members’ spouses in accomplishing its many projects, Lee spearheaded a movement to allow women into Kiwanis International.

Aided by federal legislation, in 1986 Kiwanis was the first service club to admit women as full-fledged members. Sammy Quinn and Kathy Sutton were among those early women

members. Lee commented that in 1989, when Sutton was president, “the club really started to take off.”

Lee served as Kingston Kiwanis president for two terms and as club secretary, receiving recognition from International for his distinguished service in both capacities. He was also recognized for his member recruitment successes.

Lee has served on the club’s board of trustees a number of terms, including the current 2014-16 term.

He has also been a faithful contributor to the Kingston Community News with his Kiwanis articles.

Lee has donated many hours of volunteer service to the community: tutoring at Wolfle Elementary School, chairing many of the Kiwanis Food Drives for the Kingston Food Bank and ShareNet, as well as highway clean-up and work parties to repair homes of seniors.

North-end business Windermere Real Estate West Sound expanding KINGSTON — Seven years ago, Carter Dotson and Jim Laws were partners in the Windermere Real Estate office in Kingston. “He and I have been friends for years and years,” Dotson said.

A couple of years later, the two branched off — Dotson, to acquire Windermere franchises in Poulsbo and Silverdale and form Windermere Real Estate West Sound; Laws, to concentrate on his Windermere franchise on Bainbridge Island, reportedly one of the top performing franchises in the Windermere network.

Now, Laws, who has worked with Windermere for 30 years, is selling his Bainbridge franchise to Dotson, bolstering his former partner’s profile in Kitsap and increasing the number of agents in

Windermere Real Estate West Sound from 101 to 134.

The acquisition was approved by Windermere’s corporate office and takes effect on Jan. 1, Dotson said. Terms were not disclosed.

The Windermere Bainbridge Island office is located at 840 Madison Ave. North, in a building that is separately owned by Laws. The office will continue to lease space there, Dotson said.

Dotson said he doesn’t anticipate many changes to the Bainbridge office. “’If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ comes into play,” he said.

Windermere Real Estate West Sound is owned by Dotson, his wife Tori, and Michael Pitts. Their Kingston, Poulsbo and Silverdale offices had 302 active listings as of Oct. 8 and, in 2013, had 1,340 closed sales. That averages to more than one closed sale per agent per month.

Creative Office Guru becomes Empty Nest KINGSTON — Creative Office Guru, a graphic design company owned

by Shirley Bomgaars of Kingston, changed its name Oct. 1. The business is now called Empty Nest Graphics.

The business opened more than five years ago with the intent of providing remove administrative services for small businesses, with an emphasis of publication design.

For more information, GO TO www.emptynestgraphics.com, email info@ emptynestgraphics.com, or call 360-981-1838.

Green Garden becomes Thistle Floral & Home KINGSTON — After more than four years as Nancy’s Green Garden, the

Kingston shop is changing names.

The boutique-style florist is renamed Thistle Floral & Home.

The new name reflects the business better than Nancy’s Green Garden, because it is more than a garden supply store, according to a press release from Shannon Castillo.

The shop, located at Cleo’s landing in downtown Kingston, next to Highway 104 and West Kingston Road, offers classic English to exotic tropical floral design. The shop provides flowers by the stem, premade arrangements, and special orders that can be picked up or delivered locally.

Thistle Floral & Home is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Median sales price of a home in Kitsap: $249,950 The median sales price of a home in Kitsap County was $249,950 in September, $7,000 more than in August and the sixth-highest of Western Washington counties.

That’s according to the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, which tracks real estate data in 21 counties.

The highest median sales price in the Northwest MLS was in San Juan County, $473,500, followed

by King County, $420,000.

Five counties reported double-digit increases in median sales prices over 2013: Grant, Jefferson, Kittitas, Lewis, and San Juan. King County prices jumped 9.1 percent from 12 months ago.

In September, Kitsap County real estate companies reported 381 new listings, 1,388 total active listings, 493 pending sales, and 339 closed sales.

Mike Eliason, executive of the Kitsap County

Association of Realtors, noted Kitsap has benefited from the improving economy, job growth in neighboring counties, and a stabilizing workforce at Naval Base Kitsap.

Real estate agents also credit low interest rates (in the low 4 percent), confidence in spending, and tougher lending restrictions designed to reduce foreclosure risk.

“The [Kitsap] market definitely continues to do well,” said Carter Dotson, designated broker of Windermere Kingston, Poulsbo and Silverdale.

“What’s nice about this market is we don’t experience the same dramatic fluctuation you see in Seattle. We do see some fluctuation during market cycles, but it’s not dramatic.”

Industry experts say four to six months of inventory reflects a balanced market. In King County, there is 2.3 months of inventory, in Snohomish County it’s slightly more than 2.8 months, according to the Northwest MLS.

became the first in the country to gain the right to independently manage our own program governing guardianship assistance, foster care, and adoption, also known as Title IV-E. Even though before the official designation was granted or even applied for, PGST did have a similar program in place, it was an uphill battle to meet the federal statutes, as they don’t take into account differences in culture. For example, federal code has a much narrower definition of “family” than what exists in the PGST community where several generations might be living under one roof.

During Secretar y Burwell’s visit, Andrea Smith, PGST’s Child & Family Services attorney, explained the importance of Tribes being allowed to manage programs like foster care and adoption, which so closely impact the well being of individuals, families, and Tribal culture.

“We have elders in our community who talk of being in foster care and they were taken out of their homes and lost their culture. We can’t let that happen again. This community and its families are invested and committed to its kids,” Smith said.

This statement is, as I see it, one of the most important facets of our foster care and

adoption program: keeping our kids in the community.

For at least a generation, children were removed from their homes and placed with families outside their Tribe. As you can imagine, while this might have helped with the immediate problem, it created a bigger one in these kids growing up to be adults who lost their sense of culture and identity.

Dennis and Kay Jones — a shining example of our foster care families — attended the secretary’s visit. Dennis said, “Keeping the kids in our community is one of the main reasons my wife and I decided to become foster parents.

We’re such a tight-knit community and it was importance to us to help support that.”

Sadly, one of the main reasons PGST kids end up needing foster care is because of substance abuse. Certainly, this isn’t a problem isolated to our Tribe or Tribes in general; it’s a frustrating dilemma

that affects child welfare throughout Kitsap County, not to mention the rest of the country. Understanding that treating the disease is usually more effective than simply dealing with the symptoms, we have put in place a number of programs to help our families stay healthy.

For example, we have our own chemical dependency program, which includes an outreach component to intervene before situations become critical.

We also put together an annual “healthy youth” survey, which looks at, in part, what substances our kids

are using and at what age.

All of this intervention is working: rates of drinking (excessive and otherwise) have gone down among the PGST community.

Illegal drug use, too, continues to be a problem all over, including on our reservation. To help combat the problem, our Tribe actively works with other tribes to drive out drug dealers that prey on our communities.

Whenever possible, PGST Child & Family Services tries to keep families together and parents in the picture. We do what we can to intervene in family problems before they reach crisis level.

The Oct. 15 community cider press at Village Green Park drew a large number of willing volunteers, including North Kitsap Fire & Rescue Battalion Chief Rick LaGrandeur, top right, who operated one of three presses. Volunteers washed, cut, and pressed apples for about two hours, providing all who came with fresh cider.

Bainbridge, Kingston pay tribute to Coach Mike Anderson

By BRIAN KELLY BAINBRIDGE ISLAND REVIEW

I

t started the same as so many other happy times before for Mike Anderson.

Love-love.

A crowd of more than 400 people gathered in the Bainbridge High School commons at the end of September to give a loving farewell to Anderson, a longtime teacher at the school and tennis coach at BHS and Kingston High School.

“Mike touched our lives in so many ways,” Bainbridge High Principal Mary Alice O’Neill said.

Bainbridge school district Superintendent Faith Chapel said many throughout the school district were grieving the loss.

“He always greeted us with a smile. He was unfailingly upbeat and positive.

He always had something warm and kind to say to everyone,” Chapel said.

To the students gathered at BHS, Chapel said: “He loved you. He cared deeply about you.”

He was generous to his colleagues, supportive of the staff, and was Bainbridge High’s alwayson-the-go ambassador in many community efforts.

“He gave, he gave and he gave some more,” Chapel said.

His wife Kim told how they met online in October 2012, and were married two years ago.

Though their time together was short, it was full, and she said she appreciated what they had.

“I am the luckiest girl in the world,” she said.

He hasn’t been far, she said, recalling how a bush in their yard had bloomed long ago, but last week, one small white bloom appeared.

“I know where that came from,” she said.

There was something

else, as well, on the morning of the memorial when she kept trying to get the printer for her computer to work, and it wouldn’t.

Just the second page would come out and things grew increasingly frantic and frustrating.

“I just said out loud, ‘Come on, Mike. Help us out.’

“And all of a sudden: bizz, bizz, bizz,” she said, mimicking the sound of the printer.

“I know he is still with us,” she said.

Anderson, 60, taught for the past 19 years at Bainbridge High. He was head coach of the Spartans co-ed tennis team, an economics teacher at BHS and the career, technical education director at the school.

He was also head coach of Kingston High School’s boys tennis team.

He died just a few days after the start of the school year, on Sept. 7, in a drowning accident in Tiger Lake in north Mason County.

The Sept. 27 memorial was filled with friends and family, students and staff and teachers who had known him over the past 20 years, as well as coaches and representatives from other Metro League teams.

filled a row near the front of the audience.

On one side of the podium, a large bouquet of flowers, yellow lilies mostly, set in a large glass vase filled with tennis balls.

And next to the flowers, a manual tennis scoring stand, with the numbers set to 0-0. Love-love.

The flowers were just like the one that Kim Anderson had sent to him at the high school after their first date; an event that prompted a school-wide announcement over the intercom by the “voice of the Spartans,” Mary Sue Silver.

“He was totally embarrassed; it was great,” Kim Anderson said.

They were married on the shore of Gig Harbor, where they met.

Her dad, then 91, was best man and her mom, then 87, was the maid of

honor.

Kayaking at Whistler or in Gig Harbor, watching the Davis Cup in Idaho, riding bikes on Coronado Island, their short time together was filled completely.

“We just loved, loved being together,” she said.

“We packed so much into these last two years, but that was for a reason.”

His lessons went well beyond a tennis court or classroom.

“Be kind to others,” his wife recalled. “Extend friendships. Work hard.

Play hard. Strive for your best.”

And when it seems like your best might not be good enough, she continued, “Step back, think, and believe in yourself.”

“And if you’re on a tennis team,” she added, “please, please beat Lakeside and Seattle Prep.”

The bonds he created with his fellow teachers and students were strong and everlasting.

“He was a true friend,” said fellow BHS math teacher Dan McLean. “And that’s about the most special thing that anyone can say about Mike.”

They shared a love of tennis, McLean called, something he learned from Anderson, and tennis became a part of their lives.

He recalled how they often played not only for their league on Bainbridge but in “exotic” places such as Sequim and Lakewood.

“We played on grass there,” McLean recalled of their Lakewood visit. “It wasn’t a grass court; we just played on the grass. It really didn’t matter.”

Now, on his bucket list, McLean said he hoped to see the U.S. Open.

“I probably can’t afford to, but I’d like to buy two chairs,” he said, “and have Mike sitting next to me.”

At the end, after Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s version of “Over The Rainbow” and “What A Wonderful World” was played — a song that a teary-eyed Mike Anderson had repeatedly reminded his wife he wanted played at his memorial service some day — members of the Bainbridge and Kingston tennis teams that he coached made a line at the front of the audience.

On the count of three, they gently tossed tennis balls into the crowd.

“Love from Mr. A!” they shouted.

Theater preparing for ‘Heidi’; town gearing up for holidays

T

he historic Port Gamble Theater was built during the boom times of this Victorian mill town near the turn of the last century. It was vacant and in a preserved state since 1956, when the last movie reel ended.

Fully renovated in 2011, the historic theater is ready for an exciting fourth season; they are currently adding a music series to further enhance the community feel of the theater.

In October, Oscar Wilde’s “The Canterville Ghost” was a great success and for your holiday experience, the theater is presenting “Heidi” from Dec. 5-21. This year, the theater is holding a special matinee of “Heidi” on Dec. 13 at 2 p.m. in conjunction with Port Gamble’s Country Christmas festival.

Board President Scott Snively revealed the theater’s exciting new season for 2015 which brings to life classics like “Cyrano de Bergerac,” “Sense & Sensibility,” Orson Welles’ “War of the Worlds” radio show, and “Miracle on 34th Street.”

“There are nine theaters

in Kitsap County, each with their own flavor. We like to focus on the classics,” Snively said. “We consider the Port Gamble Theater Co. to be a teaching theater as well. Little or no experience is OK with us, as we want to provide a place for actors to cut their teeth on stage.”

Snively is eager for “Cyrano de Bergerac,” opening spring of 2015.

Snively loves to be on stage acting, but is most excited about directing this production.

“The story and character of Cyrano is a bucket list item for me, but I’m really looking forward to overseeing and directing this production,” Snively said.

The theater holds a dress rehearsal the Thursday before the opening of a production. The public is welcome to “pay what you can” and attend. All of the proceeds from dress rehearsals go to a scholarship fund that benefits a North Kitsap High School senior each year.

The Kingston High School Debate Team sells roses at the shows to help raise money for the team to compete in state and nation-

Season tickets and single-show tickets can be purchased online at www.portgambletheater.com. You can also contact the theater company at 360-977-7135 with any other questions.

The Port Gamble Theater Co. looks forward to seeing you for the remainder of the 2014 season as well as the exciting 2015 season.

Come enjoy the seasonal magic during the annual Country Christmas weekend Dec. 13-14. The town is fully dressed for the occasion with ornaments; garland and thousands of bright white lights, and Port Gamble merchants are stocking their shelves with holiday shopping in mind.

You and your family can create your own special holiday memories at Santa’s Workshop, a hands-on, interactive craft experience ($5 per child) or join the audience for the annual Holiday Fruitcake Contest.

As darkness falls Saturday evening, you can gather around the community Christmas tree for the tree lighting and then take in the holiday fireworks celebration.

A special thank you

On Sept. 18, a fire broke out on the front porch of one of the historic Port Gamble

homes on Highway 104.

The quick actions and awareness of Shawna Barkey saved the day. She signaled the barista at Gamble Bay Coffee to call 911 in the early hours of the morning as she headed to work at Striebel’s Espresso.

Port Gamble town managers Tonya Caswell, Tom Daley, Kathy Keller and Julie McAfee showed their gratitude by presenting to Barkey a certificate of appreciation, a book about Port Gamble’s history and a $100 Visa gift card.

Barkey said she and her family will find a treat for themselves with the gift card.

From all of us at Port Gamble and Olympic Property Group, thank you, Shawna.

Some of you may be unaware that much of the beach in the Hansville area is private property.

You Love them...

...we can take care of them!

The top Halloween hazards for pets are escaping and being poisoned. Here a few pet safety tips to follow this year:

• Remember that masks and costumes change how people look and smell to a pet, so even familiar people may become frightening. Perhaps think about leaving your pet at home while you go trick-or-treating or place pets in a safe, quiet room when you host a party.

• Place treats safely in a high cabinet secured with a lock or child-safety latch. Many Halloween treats, such as chocolate, gum, and xylitol (a sweetener used in many foods) are hazardous.

File photo

• Choose a costume without masks or that covers eyes or ears and make sure the costume is comfortable, allows your pet to move freely and doesn’t tangle in their legs. Remove any chewable parts or objects that could come off and choke your pet.

Taking things for granted W e here in this beautiful Kitsap Peninsula live in such a beautiful place, with green trees, walking trails and even some groomed paths that all of us can share.

However, recently it came to my attention that all these beaches along the Hood Canal and the Puget Sound side are not public.

Oh, you might be walking on them, but they are not for picnics nor are the lawn chairs on the lawns for sitting for passersby.

The owners of the properties that have waterfront own all the property down to the mean low tide line, but pretty much all of them don’t care if you, the walker of the grandchildren or the dog walk on by (but don’t forget to clean up after you dog).

This bit of news made me think of all the other things that we the public sort of take for granted. Take as an

Or what about those thoughtless people who throw their fast food wrappers and sacks out of the car along Bond Road? And then there are those that throw out their cigarette butts as they travel the highways, do they have any thoughts about fires or even about littering?

And let me tell you about the wonderful things people do, just because. There is a lady in Hansville that plants bulbs along the pathways at Buck Lake, just because she enjoys the beauty of flowers. She does this anonymously. Did you know about her?

How about the guy that mows the lawns for our older senior citizens and doesn’t charge them? Did you know about him?

Do you know about the helping hands of the Ladies Aid, like taking people to doctor’s appointments or to Fishline to get groceries?

Or the neighbor that will help you with your electronic gadgets because he understands them and takes pity on those of us who don’t?

Luckily there are more of these giving and nice people than those thoughtless ones.

Well, these are my rants and raves for today.

representative at offices at Bayside Community Church, because of space limitations at ShareNet. Why did we set this up? So clients in need wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to use already scant resources to get to another part of the county for help. This is separate funding and does not conflict with or repeat ShareNetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own screened eviction and utility shutoff funds in partnership with the Poulsbo chapter of St. Vincent de Paul.

The unseen part of the calendar is administrative in nature: monitoring, recording, and reporting to a larger community of food charities and federal programs such as senior commodities which bring additional benefits to clients.

501c3- and board-governed, ShareNet requalifies annually and is inspected for membership in Northwest Harvest, Food Lifeline, and federal pro-

gram administration. We maintain key partnerships with our local schools, the Washington Food Coalition, the Kitsap County Food Bank Coalition, Kitsap Community Resources, and the related social services of Kitsap County.

Our goals are to provide the best service possible to local residents in need and the best stewardship of your donations to this cause. Good stewardship means financial checks and balances, regulatory accountability, refining historical service, and innovating new service.

Why do we go to all this trouble? Because participation in this network allows us to leverage the support we receive from the community to provide more benefits and services to clients. Because in the last 20 years, a system of best practices has evolved for the operation of food banks even as it means increased workload and expenditure.

The end-of-year crunch starts with our Back to School Supplies event in late August, providing local children with the tools their families canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford.

Leftovers from the event are kept around for late starters and folks who missed the event, and then distributed among local schools to use at their discretion.

ike most of us these days, ShareNet has a packed calendar.

Wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t technology supposed to help with that?

Technology has saved time in some areas and added more in others, for a net gain as we all diversify into more formats.

ShareNetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calendar, usually relentless anyway, kicks into even higher gear September-December. It falls into three main categories: community partnerships and sponsorships, seasonal events, and administrative deadlines.

These are regular signposts of our year, but they must never become routine, because that would be losing sight of why we do this work: hungry faces, people in desperate situations, lots of elderly folks, lots of people with disabilities, lots of people who work but cannot make ends meet, and the children of these families.

The community is at the heart of what we do, and that means all members of our community â&#x20AC;&#x201D; our clients and the donors and volunteers whose support keeps ShareNet going.

A lot of documentation, logistics, and manual labor keep ShareNet operating, but it never loses its human face or focus, or the knowledge that, underneath it all, ShareNet is a place made by community support, made by compassion from community members who care about people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough.

In 2014, ShareNet sponsored a parent education series with Wolfle Elementary School as well as their summer school session and clothing closet.

We partnered with Kitsap Community Resources to bring a series of continuing education for adults to Kingston, classes with a financial focus. We have also partnered with KCR to bring their system for energy assistance appointments to Kingston.

There’s so many living legends still kickin’ H

ROUNDABOUT

ey, did you know we are living on the same planet as Olivia de Havilland? She played Melanie Hamilton Wilkes in the 1939 classic “Gone with the Wind.”

She’s 98, and living in France. If you go to France, there is a possibility (an unlikely possibility that would be inappropriate to pursue) that you could meet her. And her actress sister, Joan Fontaine, with whom she shared a famous sibling rivalry? She just passed away last year at the age of 96.

Does this interest you? It does me.

Harper Lee, who wrote my favorite book of all time,

By DENISE ROUNDY “To Kill a Mockingbird,” is 88, and living in the same Alabama town where she grew up. And Doris Day, whom you may remember is my favorite classic movie actress, turned 90 this year.

Also, Christopher Lee! He’s 92, and what a guy he is. From playing Dracula and Frankenstein’s monster in the 1950s, to more recent roles of Count Dooku (“Star Wars”) and Saruman (“Lord of the Rings”), he’s been someone to watch for more than 60 years. And (bonus!) he’s been married to his wife,

Birgit, for 53 years! Makes me like him even more.

All these icons, still among us. This is amazing to me. I know that if I traveled far enough, I could see the pyramids, the Great Wall of China, Antarctica.

They will likely be there if I wait to go see them until I’m 92 myself. But to think I could stumble into a true Hollywood legend, or Harper Lee! Our human wonders are only available for a limited time.

When I’m riding the ferry, I frequently watch for classic celebrities.

Could the distinguished lady sitting by the window be a vacationing Maureen O’Hara (94)? Could the

elderly man spryly walking around the upper deck be Dick Van Dyke (88)?

Surely they haven’t spent their entire lives hiding in their mansions. They must come out, and travel, and yes, maybe occasionally, go to Seattle and ride the ferry.

Also, I think of these octoand nonagenarians kind of like I do my great-aunts, uncles, and grandparents.

Many of my ancestors I never met, but I know their stories, so I feel vested in them. Celebrities are sometimes like that. They’ve shared something of themselves, and we’re interested to see something of their lives, and how things turn out for them.

Did you know that just last year we lost Lauren Bacall?

And Mickey Rooney, Shirley Temple, and James Garner? All greats. But we still walk among others, like baseball legends Bobby Doerr (96) and Yogi Berra (89), and actor Sidney Poitier (87).

And you know that 70-yearold actor, Michael Douglas?

Well, his father, actor Kirk Douglas, is 97. Amazing.

Adam West (the truly original Batman, who by the way was born in Walla Walla) is 86, Angela Lansbury is 89, Betty White is 92, Carol Channing (who was born in Seattle in 1921) is 93. Eva Marie Saint is 90, and Zsa Zsa Gabor (who

The Wilkes Expedition of the U.S. Navy explored the area in 1841. Apple Tree Cove was named by Captain Wilkes.

The Oregon Territory, with the boundary of British North America set at the 49th Parallel, was formed in 1846. The 11th President, James K. Polk, 1845-1849, insisted on this border.

Washington Territory was formed separate from Oregon in 1853.

In 1869, W.S. Ladd home-

steaded 160 acres in what is now downtown Kingston.

In 1878, Michael King bought this property and logged it. He had some shacks along the beach for workers to live in and this was disparagingly called “King’s Town.” Over time, this became “Kingston” and became the name of the settlement on Apple Tree Cove.

John Patterson had homesteaded in Kingston and wrote to the magazine “Christian Oracle.” In its March 1, 1888 issue, Patterson urged others in the Dakotas, Illinois and Iowa to join him in Kingston. He stated that

Those that came began holding Sunday School and prayer meetings in the summer of 1888.

The church was established March 31, 1889 with a Sunday School meeting and April 7, 1889 with services. A church was erected at the corner of Washington Boulevard and Northeast Third Street. Erosion problems may have forced the move to the present grounds.

GUEST COLUMN

By REX LEE CARLAW the church.

Kingston Christian Church is an independent congregation. At one time it belonged to the Disciples of Christ but became independent in the 1960s. (There are many other independent Christian churches such as the largest one in Washington, Overlake Christian Church in Redmond.)

The movement came out of the revivals in Kentucky in the 1800s and was meant to avoid denominalism and unscriptural traditions that would distract from the true Gospel. The Christian church traditionally serves communion each week, baptizes by immersion, has a strong missionary-sending distinctive and practices a congregational form of government. The longest pastorate was held by Duane Sabin for 40 years from 1969 to 2009. The present Senior Pastor, Scott Pennington, has been in Kingston since that time.

Be Earth-conscious when choosing holiday gifts W

hile cleaning up after the Stillwaters Used Book Sale, (yes, it went well and we raised $7,000 – thanks for asking) I came across the little novel, “Skipping Christmas,” by John Grisham. I decided it was time to re-read this book that I often recommend to others.

The book tells the story of a couple whose only child has left for a Peace Corps assignment just after Thanksgiving. They are “empty-nesters” for the holidays. They are both a little depressed about it.

When the fellow figures out that they normally spend about $6,000 on gifts, parties, cards and more, they decide to “skip Christmas,” instead using the money to go on a vacation.

The rest of the novel

reveals all the responses they get from friends, neighbors, work colleagues and others who are either envious, angry, or bewildered. It’s a thought-provoking look at our attitudes toward the societal norms surrounding the holidays.

Most of us, at one time or another, have thought about holidays and dreaded them entirely, or at least dreaded some aspect. The fall/winter holidays are one of the most stressful times of the year for a great many people, which is reflected in more deaths just before or just after the holidays.

But they don’t have to be so stressful.

We have skipped Thanksgiving many times, opting to go to Canada for a little vacation, where no one is eating turkey at all.

It’s really quite pleasant!

CHOICES FOR THE FUTURE

By NAOMI MAASBERG But that’s a holiday mostly focused on one big dinner.

Not as big of a production as the big December one.

Now there are parts of Christmas that I really like, but parts that are stressful to almost all of us. What is hard for all of us is sorting that out and figuring out

what causes all that stress.

I am stressed by anything that depletes resources beyond reason. Those resources can be my own or they can be resources of the Earth. My own resources are stressed when we spend more than we can afford on gifts, food for parties, going out, decorations, or travel. All of these are easy to do this time of year, aren’t they? It is so very easy to get carried away in the spirit of giving and trying to make it the best holiday ever. The advertising blitz surely doesn’t help!

Then there is the concern for conserving the Earth’s resources. This is getting a little easier with more of a “green” conscious society offering recycled papers and LED light strands. But I do still wonder about all the cut greens and trees,

people driving and flying everywhere, food brought in from all over the world, and food thrown away. Lots to pay attention to here.

The biggest thing I think we can all do to conserve Earth’s resources is to pay attention to the gifts we give. Think about it. Every clever or pretty item you find at a department store took Earth’s resources to make and even more of Earth’s resources to ship to the store. So, if you are going to support the consumption of those resources, please be sure they are truly needed and will be well-used.

If you want to give your Aunt Martha a gift, but you really can’t think of anything she needs, don’t just give up and get her something you know she doesn’t need! A gift card for the

local grocer would be a better bet! Maybe a cool, used something from a thrift shop? Or maybe she’d like something from you – like getting her lawn mowed?

And if it is just too stressful for you to think of Earthfriendly gifts, decorations and activities that don’t drain all your resources, then don’t – just skip the holiday stress. Do what makes you feel good, like visiting with your friends and relatives and taking it easy. Maybe take a little vacation or spend the day at the beach. The Earth will probably be better off, too.

Rotary’s next event is the Fourth of July Fun Run held on the morning of Kingston’s grand old Fourth of July Parade.

Rotarians Dave Roberts, Paul Bryan, and Boxman co-chair this event with the help of Rotarians as timekeepers and course monitors.

The Fun Run marks the start of the summer fundraisers, and Rotarians agree that the most fun is had at the Rotary Beer and Wine Garden. Every Saturday from 5-8 p.m. during the Kingston Cove Concerts, Rotarians staff the beer garden tent at the Port. This includes ticket sales, serving, table cleanup, and security checks at

students help with the ticket sales and line control at this spooky event held every Friday and Saturday night in October. Rotarians and students also have the opportunity to volunteer as production crew, set builders, or actors.

The proceeds from all of these events come back to the community and help support local projects and initiatives.

We are sure that president-elect Boxman will have a few other initiatives to add to this busy Rotary year.

A dedicated community volunteer and board member of the Village Green Foundation, Boxman has served as the auctioneer at the foundation’s Pie in the Park for the past six years. This year’s auction

raised almost $50,000 with Boxman holding the auction gavel.

If you would like to meet our future Rotary president, as well as a group of dedicated Rotary volunteers, please join us for lunch. You’ll learn more about projects that are vital in shaping our community.

We meet ever y Wednesday at noon at the Paul Nichols North Kitsap Fire & Rescue Station on Miller Bay Road in Kingston. Gather at 11:45 a.m. to socialize before the lunch and business meeting.

Issues raised during ferry forum County commissioners held one of five forums on WSF ferries recently

O

ur county commissioners hosted five forums around the county to get an earful about ferries. Here’s a snapshot of what Kingston said.

The full comments for all the meetings will be on the county website. If not, give me a call, 360-434-0583. n Communications: When delays or service cutbacks happen, we don’t get the word and rumors prevail. The info on the ferry alerts and those big electronic road signs isn’t all that useful and Washington State Ferries’ published plan for shifting boats around in a breakdown often isn’t followed. n Ferr y boats: WSF should look into extending the lifetime of our jumbo ferries. When they are replaced that should be with a new class of similar sized boats, and not with the smaller 144s. All new boat designs should focus on reducing crewing and improving reliability.

Slowing down the Jumbos to save money will lose runs, revenue and not measurably reduce fuel use. n Maintenance: Doing ferry maintenance in the

summer, when demand is high, instead of the winter, when demand is low, doesn’t make sense and hurts our economy.

Shorting the WSF maintenance budget is expensive with costly repairs and lost service. n Service: Most other runs get extra summer boats. The long waits at Kingston-Edmonds are a barrier to tourism and, with the highest traffic in the system, we’re overdue for a third summer boat.

Besides reducing back-ups the third boat would make money. By contrast leaving the spare boat tied up in Eagle Harbor, doesn’t make

FERRYFARE KINGSTON FERRY ADVISORY COMMITTEE a cent. n Fares: Ferry communities need predictably affordable fares. Strategies that hike up fares during commute hours are killers to local economies with fewer young people using ferries and moving here.

The Legislature’s funding is the key. In return for state funding, WSF should guarantee a given level of service at a given fare. This shouldn’t be hard to do with WSF being less than 3 percent of Washington State Department of Transportation’s budget. n Schedules: The pause in the evening boats is inconvenient and it appears that in setting schedules, customer convenience takes the back seat. On-time performance is measured by the departure time when it should be measured by the arrival time. n Staffing: Either from lack of training or defined procedures the summer staff is less efficient in loading the boats. Infrequent summer travelers load slow and leave large gaps between cars. In the holding lot traffic is held up at the toll booths when the boat’s being loaded, causing back-ups through town and wasting time. n Parking: We need better directional signs and convenient parking in

Kingston and Edmonds. On weekends the Edmonds’ Sounder lot could be opened up for parking. This would be a boon to summer visitors when there are long back-ups. We also need more readily available park and ride/vanpool facilities. n Transit: Rural communities don’t have the connections between ferries and transit to support fare policies that promote walkons. They just make us pay disproportionately more to ride the boats. n Terminals: The Edmonds terminal will eventually have to separate ferry and train traffic to function as the trains are projected to double by 2030. Long ferry traffic back-ups on the shoulders continue in Kingston after decades of effort to get a solution. n Reservations: While it is a clear plus for commercial traffic, it appears to be too complicated and inconvenient for the rest of us. n WSF planning: WSF needs to be thinking like a business. There doesn’t appear to be a focus on growing riders and reducing costs which is critical to financial survival. Rather, strategies like “adaptive management” are doing the reverse. The Governor has committed to a “lean” system and asset management but we don’t see it.

While preparing your ballot, prepare for stormy weather NKF&R levy on Nov. 4 ballot NKF&R’s special levy request Ballots for the general election are due by Nov. 4.

The fire district is proposing a temporary levy that, if approved, will provide us with $600,000 per year for the next four years.

It’s estimated to cost individual taxpayers $0.25 per

$1,000 of assessed property valuation or $25 for every $100,000 of value. Nearly 90 percent of fire district funding comes from local property taxes.

Since 2009, plummeting property values have punched a large hole in our budget. This year, we will collect about $600,000 less than we did five years ago.

That’s almost a 10 percent decrease in revenue while costs beyond our control have continued to rise.

Don’t wait for ‘pain radar’ to detect health issues

I

f you are waiting for pain to dictate how often you should see your chiropractor — or whether or not to see one in the first place — you’re waiting too long.

Because without a spinal check from a chiropractor, you simply don’t know if your spine needs to be adjusted, as there is no reliable way to truly know.

Spinal misalignments often crop up and cause little to no pain. And while this might not seem like a big deal, it is when you realize that these off-kilter vertebrae are slowly sapping the health of the body by robbing its effectiveness to function correctly.

Pain usually does indicate a spinal adjustment is needed; but in all likelihood, it’s been needed for much longer than you realize. Our bodies have an amazing capacity to adapt and will compensate like a game of “Spinal Jenga” to handle the minor misalignments that come our way — compensations that will likely skate under the “pain radar” for some time

SPINAL COLUMN

By THOMAS LAMAR, D.C. to come. As a matter of fact, most people who show up in a chiropractor’s office are showing up with bodies that have been chronically compensating for years.

And now picking that sock up off the floor becomes the proverbial “last straw” — the straw that the body is no longer able to compensate for, because, the body is simply done compensating.

While getting an adjustment at this stage in the game might seem like good timing, as it will undoubtedly make things feel better, it really misses the point of

true chiropractic. It’s kind of like having an “Eureka moment” that you should call a termite inspector as the beam that once supported your roof comes crashing down.

Pain, at best, is a crude and misleading indicator that far too many people rely on to seek help. It’s how our society has been conditioned, and frankly, it’s the business model that insurance companies utilize.

True chiropractic takes a different approach.

Rather than asking what pill you can take to improve your health, or what organ needs to be removed so true health can be regained, chiropractic looks to reenergize the body’s own inborn healing ability. Our bodies are self-healing and self-regulating. When the vertebrae of the spine become misaligned this process is interfered with and subdued as the delicate nerve tissues that course through the openings at each level becomes pinched and irritated — leading to a “short” in the electrical master con-

trol system of the body.

Chiropractic in its purest sense is not for back pain, headaches, neck pain, or any other symptomatic malady. It is a form of health care that looks to empower the body to express its own inborn ability to heal and regulate at a more optimum level. In other words, if you are suffering from a spinal ache or pain — especially if it’s chronic — there is a good chance that your body’s self healing and regulating capabilities are operating at sub-par levels. When our bodies are vibrant and healthy, they are able to adapt and operate effectively in the midst of the ever encroaching physical, emotional, and chemical demands that we face everyday.

A healthy nervous system, brought about by a well aligned spine, is able keep our bodies strong and able to stand up to the storms of life. But you won’t know if it is in need unless you are getting your spine checked. Stop setting yourself up for your body to fail by waiting for pain.
