Witness says plane spun, lost parts as it fell toward water
Privatization of booze led to more shoplifting Chief Strachan says thieves have a preference for liquor, not beer, wine
National Transportation Safety Board is investigating Seabeck-area crash BY CHRIS TUCKER CTUCKER@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
SEABECK — The small red-and-white airplane that crashed south of Seabeck Jan. 26 in Hood Canal was spinning, may have had parts break off in flight and sank quickly, according to a man who said he witnessed the plane fall. Jon Marker, who lives on Thunder Ridge Way, said the plane spun downward at a sharp angle near Frenchman’s Cove (near Guillmot Cove). He was in his home when he heard the plane around 12:45 p.m. “I was eating lunch, getting ready for work. I heard a plane like it was climbing. It was the motor of a plane. Then I didn’t hear anything for a couple seconds,” Marker said. “Then I looked out and I saw a plane kind of whirl-
ing around,” he said, nearly straight down. “It looked like it was spinning. It looked like it was red and white. It went behind the tree line. I figured it probably hit the water.” Then, Marker saw a separate piece fall down afterward which looked like it could have been a wing or something similar. Marker couldn’t see the impact from his home so he called a neighbor, who lived closer and whom he thought may have owned a boat, to take a look. The neighbor couldn’t see anything in the water. “When it hit it must have sunk right away,” Marker said. He called again for rescuers to check out the crash and gave them directions to navigate the twisty, rural back roads

Teen driver pleads guilty to vehicular homicide BY CHRIS TUCKER CTUCKER@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
The driver of a car that crashed Jan. 11 on SeabeckHolly Road NW, killing three teenage passengers, pleaded guilty on Jan. 22 to three counts of vehicular homicide. According to court documents, Marcus Allen McKay, 17, of Bremerton, will remain in the juvenile court system and will not be charged an an

adult. McKay gave a statement to law enforcement admitting he had been traveling 75 mph in a 45 mph zone. Roadway evidence and damage to the vehicle also suggested a highspeed collision occurred. McKay also admitted that he smoked marijuana around 2 a.m. that morning at a party. The documents state that on Jan. 11 around 3:16 a.m. McKay lost control of the 1996
Toyota Corolla he was driving on Seabeck Holly Road NW. The vehicle left the roadway, struck a tree and overturned. His passengers, Olympic High School students Kassidy Miranda Clark, 16, Jenna M. Farley, 14, and Luther James Wiggins-Stoudermire, 18, died in the crash. At the time of the crash, McKay had an intermediate driver’s license which required that he have no passengers
under the age of 20, nor drive between the hours of 1-5 a.m. McKay had abrasions on the left side of his neck which indicate he was in the driver’s seat when the vehicle crashed. McKay was charged with three counts of vehicular homicide for driving without regard for the safety of others. The defense and prosecution agreed to a total of 45-108 SEE PLEADS, A13
LOUD & PROUD
December shoplifting incidents doubled last year from seven in 2013 to 15 in 2014. Bremerton Police attributed this to the privatization of alcohol in 2012. “The majority of our shoplifting calls from the last few months have been alcohol (specifically liquor, not beer or wine) from grocery stores in which the liquor is not well secured,” said Steve Strachan, Bremerton Police chief. “This did not happen before privatization.” In November 2014 there were 12 incidents, in October there were eight and in September there were 12. Strachan said much of the rise is due to the increased number of stores selling alcohol. “Most of our suspects are
taking it for personal use, and its mostly high-alcohol products and it’s perceived as a lowrisk crime,” Strachan said. State-run liquor stores were fewer in number and had better security, Strachan said. “The ubiquity of alcohol in so many more places, combined with less thoughtful security measures, means people, including juveniles, have much more access,” Strachan said. Some concern has been raised about organized retail crime (ORC), in which thieves resell what they steal. “I can tell you anecdotally we’re not getting reports of organized retail theft,” Strachan said. “One of the things we’re seeing is people walking in and walking out with alcohol.” Multiple grocery stores declined to comment for this story.
Bremerton schools struggle with capacity questions BY PETER O’CAIN
POCAIN@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
The Bremerton School Board met Jan. 22 for a study session to discuss capacity issues within the district. The Bremerton School District has been exploring ways to reduce class sizes– particularly at the elementary level–ever since the passing of Initiative 1351 in November. Superintendent Aaron Leavell presented the board with 16 ideas to solve capacity problems.
Of all the ideas presented, the only option that appeared to be ruled out was moving West Hills STEM Academy to Mountain View Middle School. “The new wing at (Mountain View) was built as a 6thgrade academy with the full intention of converting to a smaller elementary school shou ld t he need arise See full a g a i n ,” L e a v e l l story on the said. website It would

Tacoma Narrows Bridge committee seeks new members Kitsap County residents have the opportunity to advise the Washington State Transportation Commission on new toll rates for the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge Citizen Advisory Committee, with nine governor-appointed members, has two vacancies. Kitsap County residents are encouraged to apply, especially those who commute between Kitsap and Pierce counties. This citizen advisory committee makes toll rate recommendations to the state transportation commission on all matters related to tolls including the feasibility of frequent-user discounts, electronic transponders and senior citizen and student discounts. The committee may also study how toll rates relate to retirement of debt incurred when the new bridge was built and how tolls may vary depending on the time of day. Members must be permanent residents of the affected area and serve at the pleasure of the Governor without compensation. For more information, visit http://goo.gl/kRCsz5.

$1.1 billion worth of Kitsap homes sold in 2014, real estate group says Median price of a county home is 3.2 percent lower now than in 2005 STAFF REPORT
The number of Kitsap County single-family homes sold in 2014 went up 8.5 percent compared to 2013 – from 3,340 units to 3,624 – and the median value of those homes increased by half a percent during that time, from $240,725 to $242,000. Combined sales of single-family homes and condominiums in the county were valued at $1.1 billion in 2014. The data come from Northwest Multiple Listing Service, a not-for-profit,
member-owned organization of over 21,000 real estate professionals in the Pacific Northwest. The average price of a single-family home in Kitsap County in 2014 was $295,710. The lowest-priced home sold that year was $17,500 and the highest-priced home went for $3.3 million. Single-family homes comprised 94.39 percent (4,880 units) of pending sales in 2014. Condominium sales made up 5.61 percent (290 units). Three-bedroom homes and condos were the most popular
and comprised 58.9 percent of sales. Homes with two bedrooms or fewer made up 19.9 percent of sales. Four-bedroom homes made up 19.3 percent and homes with five or more rooms were 1.9 percent. Kitsap County had 3.9 months of supply of single-family homes and condominiums in 2014. The industry considers a four- to six-month range as an indicator of a balanced market, favoring neither buyers nor sellers. Although prices have trended upward, the longer-term picture shows the impact the Great Recession had on the county: Kitsap home prices are now 3.2 percent lower than in
2005, when the median price of a home was $250,000. Prices rose to $290,342 in 2007 and then dropped to $233,000 in 2012 as a result of the recession. Taking a wider, regional view, total sales across 21 counties in western Washington was worth nearly $28 billion in 2014, the group said – 9.4 percent higher in value than 2013. Northwest MLS reported 77,276 closed sales during 2014 to best the prior year’s volume by 1,759 transactions for a 2.3 percent increase in units. Last year’s completed sales included 66,716 single-family homes – about 86 percent of
the total – and 10,560 condominiums. The total units and dollar volume are the highest since 2007 when members registered 82,197 sales valued at $32.3 billion. The area-wide median price for last year’s sales of single-family homes and condominiums was $285,000, higher than 2013’s figure of $270,000 (up nearly 5.6 percent). A comparison by county shows median sales prices ranged from $119,900 in Pacific County to $399,750 in King County. High-end sales were also a factor. Northwest MLS members reported 2,069 sales of single-family homes priced at $1 million or more. The high-
est-priced single-family home that sold during 2014 was a property in Medina that commanded $11.3 million. Topping the chart of high-priced condominiums was one in a downtown Seattle high-rise that sold for $6.1 million. Northwest MLS, owned by its member real estate firms, is the largest full-service MLS in the Northwest. Its membership includes more than 22,000 real estate brokers. The Kirkland-based organization expanded services to the Chelan and Douglas counties in 2014, bringing the total number of counties in the MLS network to 23 in Washington state.
Phone scams continue to be serious threat, remain on IRS ‘Dirty Dozen’ list Criminals try to scare taxpayers into providing personal information Aggressive and threatening phone calls by criminals impersonating IRS agents remain near the top of the annual “Dirty Dozen” list of tax scams for the 2015 filing season, the Internal Revenue Service announced. The IRS has seen a surge of these phone scams in recent months as scam artists threaten police arrest, deportation, license revocation and other things. The IRS reminds taxpayers to guard against all sorts of con games that arise during any filing season. “If someone calls unexpectedly claiming to be from the IRS with aggressive threats if you don’t pay immediately, it’s a scam artist calling,” said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. “The first IRS contact with taxpayers is usually through the mail. Taxpayers have rights, and this is not how we
do business.” The Dirty Dozen is compiled annually by the IRS and lists a variety of common scams taxpayers may encounter any time during the year. Many of these con games peak during filing season as people prepare their tax returns or hire someone to do so. This year for the first time, the IRS will issue the individual Dirty Dozen scams one at a time during the next 12 business days to raise consumer awareness. Phone scams top the list this year because it has been a persistent and pervasive problem for many taxpayers for many months. Scammers are able to alter caller ID numbers to make it look like the IRS is calling. They use fake names and bogus IRS badge numbers. They often leave “urgent” callback requests. They prey
on the most vulnerable people, such as the elderly, newly arrived immigrants and those whose first language is not English. Scammers have been known to impersonate agents from IRS Criminal Investigation as well. “These criminals try to scare and shock you into providing personal financial information on the spot while you are off guard,” Koskinen said. “Don’t be taken in and don’t engage these people over the phone.” The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) has received reports of roughly 290,000 contacts since October 2013 and has become aware of nearly 3,000 victims who have collectively paid over $14 million as a result of the scam, in which individuals make unsolicited calls to taxpayers fraudulently claiming to be IRS officials and demanding that they send them cash via prepaid debit cards.
Protect Yourself As telephone scams continue across the country, the IRS recently put out a new YouTube video with a renewed warning to taxpayers not to be fooled by impostors posing as tax agency representatives. The new Tax Scams video describes some basic tips to help protect taxpayers from tax scams. These callers may demand money or may say you have a refund due and try to trick you into sharing private information. These con artists can sound convincing when they call. They may know a lot about you. The IRS reminds people that they can know pretty easily when a supposed IRS caller is a fake. Here are five things the scammers often do but the IRS will not do. Any one of these five things is a tell-tale sign of a scam. The IRS will never: • Call to demand immediate payment, nor will the
agency call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill. • Demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe. • Require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card. • Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone. - Threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.

Navy League recognizes Sound Publishing for support of sea service members STAFF REPORT The Bremerton-Olympic Peninsula Council of the Navy League of the United States (NLUS) recently welcomed Sound Publishing as a Community Affiliate during their January 13th luncheon held at the Bangor Plaza on Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor. As a Community Affiliate, Sound Publishing not only affirms support of sea service members and their families, but also acknowledges their daily sacrifices to secure our nation’s economic prosperity. Community Affiliates receive an engraved membership plaque, a subscription to the award-winning SEAPOWER magazine and annual SEAPOWER Almanac, four individual Navy League memberships, and recognition at all council membership events and meetings. Jennifer Zuver, Sound Publishing’s sales and marketing representative, accepted
the plaque from out-going council president, Larry Salter. Salter praised Sound Publishing’s support of the council’s community outreach programs by providing coverage and advance announcement of council activities and public events, often targeted to the specific region involved. Sound Publishing is the largest community media organization in Washington State with its 49 newspaper titles. The company has a combined print circulation of 661,072 and 2.3 million unique visitors online. They also employ more than 600 people in 36 locations around the Puget Sound region and eastern Washington. Sound Publishing is one of the few community newspapers that print all their own newspapers and numerous other publications at a centrally-located, state-of-the-art printing facility in Everett. Founded in 1902 with the encouragement of President Theodore Roos-
evelt, the NLUS is a civilian organization supporting the US Navy, Coast Guard, Marine Corps and U.S.-Flagged Merchant Marine. It is a worldwide organization with 46,000 members in more than 250 councils, including more than 700 corporate and community affiliate members. The three main objectives of the NLUS are to educate national leaders and public about the vital importance of a capable and fully prepared Sea Services, to support the men and women of the sea services and their families, and to advocate maintenance of a strong U.S. industrial base to secure America’s future. Through its world-wide adoption program, the NLUS directly supports over 250 ships, 280 land-based military command, and 730 youth groups.

A few tweaks to election laws
Friday, January 30, 2015 | Bremerton Patriot
T
he Legislature is considering a few pieces of legislation regarding elections, some more helpful than others. Senate Bill 5153 would bring some badly needed transparency to campaign donations, creating a new class of political action committee. As reported by political columnist Jerry Cornfield of the (Everett) Daily Herald last week, groups have taken advantage of the current system to shield the source of donations. The bill would require “incidental committees” to file reports with the state Public Disclosure Commission if they spend $25,000 or more on a campaign for a statewide ballot measure or office and would require identification of donors who contribute $2,000 or more. Recent political campaigns, particularly for initiatives, have seen incredible growth in spending. The campaign against I-522, which sought labeling of food products using genetically modified ingredients, raised more than $21 million in 2013. And the drive to privatize liquor sales in the state, I-1183, raised more than $20 million in 2011. With that much money flowing to campaigns, it’s imperative that voters know where that support is coming from. House Bill 1323 would do away with the annoyance of voting for ballot questions that are little more than straw polls. The legislation would scrap the “advisory” questions found on statewide ballots that seek nonbinding votes for tax measures the Legislature has already voted on. The advisory votes were a provision of Tim Eyman’s I-960, passed in 2007. But during the last two general elections, the state has spent more than $250,000 to include the advisory votes in the voter’s pamphlets. That’s $250,000 spent on advisory votes that carry little weight among legislators. Senate Joint Resolution 8201 seeks an amendment to a state constitutional requirement that initiatives not have a significant effect on the state budget. The legislation is, supporters admit, a reaction to the passage of I-1351, which now requires the state to hire thousands of teachers and other education workers at a significant cost, without providing a method of funding for itself. Passage of 8201 would require a two-thirds majority in the SEE OPINION, A13

Hard decisions for local education
I
n the last couple of Everything months, I have been attending a series of Bremerton study sessions hosted by the Bremerton School District. These are open roundtable meetings that include the district administration, members of the elected school board, members of the public and a group of school district employees who have spent the last year analyzing facility Colleen Smidt capabilities or limitations of existing district structures. On the table for discussion and decision are what to do with and how to house the increasing number of students enrolling in the district combined with the recent voter approved class size initiative. To say that these are complex, intertwined decisions is a rather gross understatement. Choosing which starting domino to tip over, sets into motion a certain pattern that determines the path of some choices and eliminates others completely. At the coming school board meeting set for Feb. 5, the
official vote on that first domino will occur. It has to do with a project that was sold to and promised to the community through a capital improvement levy in 2012. To stay on track, be completed and serve the needs of a growing student population on the Westside, the West Hills STEM expansion needs to move forward, be put out to bid and start construction this summer. Once the vote is taken and the decision on this is decided additional dominos will come into play to make and/or push additional decisions. Ideas open to review and consideration include the consolidation and or movement of specialty programs, changes in how the 6th Grade building at the Middle School is used including the possibility of re-opening it as an elementary and transportation changes that would bus students over bridges which became something the district firmly avoided after the Nisqually earthquake. I have been thoroughly impressed with how the decision makers and stakeholders have been handling these study sessions. Held in an open roundtable environment, comments, suggestions and recommendations from everyone and anyone in the room have been encouraged, accepted and treated equally. SEE SMIDT, A13
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thanks to the Bremerton Police Department for help in car accident On behalf of the family of Nicholas Brooke we would like to thank the Bremerton Police Department and especially Officer J.D. Miller for going above and beyond his duty in his involvement with our son, Nicholas Brooke. Nick was in a tragic accident on Jan. 1 near Gorst.
Officer Miller was on his way home from his shift when he noticed unusual scrapes on some trees near the Gold Mountain Golf course. He turned around and investigated, even though he was off duty. He found our son’s car that was not visible from the road and had probably been there for 9-10 hours. We are extremely grateful for Officer Miller’s actions, if he had not turned around and checked, our son may not have been found for many more hours. He enabled us to get to the hospital
and see our son before he unfortunately passed away from his injuries. Although the outcome was not what we hoped for, Officer Millers actions gave Nick a chance to survive that he might not have had otherwise. Nick was also able to donate organs that benefitted five people and gave them a chance at life. Thank you Officer Miller for your thoroughness and compassion.
Tom, Marianne and Matthew Brooke Poulsbo

Attorney General proposes smoking age increase OLYMPIA — Washington has long been at the forefront of the fight to protect youth from the dangers of smoking. Continuing that leadership role, Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced Jan. 21 a bill that would make the state the first to raise the legal age for purchasing and possessing tobacco and vapor products to 21. The harmful consequences of tobacco are clear. Smoking kills 8,300 Washingtonians every year, and $2.8 billion in health care costs are directly attributed to tobacco use in the state. Washington state taxpayers pay nearly $400 million in taxes to cover state government expenditures caused by smoking. According to a recent report by the U.S. Surgeon
General, over 100,000 of today’s Washington youth are projected to die prematurely due to the effects of smoking. “The damage tobacco does to the lives and health of Washingtonians is devastating,” Ferguson said. “Research shows the young adult brain, still developing between 18 and 21, is highly susceptible to nicotine addiction. We must do more to protect our youth from tobacco’s grip, and this bill is an important step toward keeping nicotine out of the hands of kids and young adults.” The bill, Senate Bill 5494 and House Bill 1458, is agency-request legislation sponsored by Sen. Mark Miloscia, R-Federal Way, and Rep. Tina Orwall, D-Des Moines. “We know that tobacco is highly addictive, that most
“The damage tobacco does to the lives and health of Washingtonians is devastating.” – Bob Ferguson, Washington state attorney general smokers begin to use nicotine in their teens and can later develop tobacco-related illnesses like cancer, emphysema and heart disease,” Orwall said. “By restricting use during youth we hope to break this cycle of addiction and, ultimately, save lives.” “As one of the most risky, addictive and harm-
ful activities a young person can engage in, smoking should be a decision they make once they have had a chance to grow and mature,” said Miloscia. “This action could drive a major decline in smoking addiction, help save human lives and reduce health care costs.” A 2012 U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services report found that more than 90 percent of smokers began before leaving their teens. Research shows more than a quarter of smokers move from experimentation to daily use between ages 18 and 21. The bill would raise the legal age to purchase and possess tobacco and vapor products to 21, effectively reducing access among younger teens and providing long-term savings in health care costs. Like tobacco, most vapor products contain nicotine, which is highly addictive
and impacts adolescent brain development. Vapor products currently have minimal state regulation, and some contain carcinogens. Nationally, the percentage of middle and high school students who have used vapor products more than doubled from 2011 to 2012. By 2014, 17 percent of high school seniors had tried e-cigarettes. Alabama, Alaska, New Jersey and Utah already prohibit the sale of tobacco products to persons under the age of 19, and some cities and counties have increased their smoking ages to 21.
Employment growth highest since 1997 OLYMPIA – Year-overyear employment growth in Washington was the highest since 1997, according to estimates released Jan. 22 by the state Employment Security Department. Estimates indicate employment increased by 82,900 jobs from December 2013 to December 2014, on a not seasonally adjusted basis, with 73,400 new jobs in the private sector and 9,500 new jobs in the public sector. Washington’s unemployment rate for December 2014 was 6.3 percent–up from 6.2 percent in November 2013 but down from 6.7 percent in December 2013. According to preliminary estimates by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Washington picked up 7,600 new jobs from November 2014 to December 2014, on a nonfarm, seasonally adjusted basis, due to 7,500 new private sector jobs and 100 new government jobs. Unemployment in the Seattle/Bellevue/Everett area dropped from 4.7 percent in November 2014 to a preliminary estimate of 4.6 in December 2014. The national unemployment rate for December 2014 was 5.6 percent. “While Washington’s unemployment rate rose slightly to 6.3 percent this month, the state had its best year since 1997 when it comes to total employment for Washington,” said Paul
Turek, an economist with the Employment Security Department. “The state gained jobs every month except one in 2014 and experienced increases in 12 of the 13 major industries,” he said. The top five industry sectors with the largest employment gains from December 2013 to December 2014 were: • Professional and business services with 14,400 new jobs. • Construction with 11,800 jobs. • Retail trade with 11,500 jobs. • Education and health services with 10,500 new jobs. • Government with 9,500 new jobs. The mining and logging industry held steady with no gain or loss in 2014. Washington’s resident labor force, the total number of people in the workforce, employed and unemployed, ages 16 and older, increased by an estimated 57,000 people from December 2013 to December 2014. The number of unemployed, the estimated number of people who do not have jobs, are available for work and have actively sought work in the last four weeks, dropped by 9,700 from 230,200 in December 2013 to 220,500 in December 2014. That includes 81,977 who received unemployment benefits in December 2014.

A history lesson on education funding in Washington State year responded by passing the Basic Education Act, which defined what the state would pay for in terms of education and the Levy Lid Act, which limited local levies to 10 percent of a school district’s budget. Over time, however, the Legislature has raised the levy lid. As in the 1970s, levies again are being used to pay a large share of the costs of the education system in many school districts. In 2007 a group of parents and school districts filed the 450 National Ave S. • BremertonMcCleary case, alleging the www.KitsapLumber.com state was not meeting its constitutional obligation to amply fund a uniform system of education. 360-479-4414 In 2009, the Legislature 450 S. National Av. Bremerton
passed House Bill 2261, which created a process for defining a fully state funded “Prototypical School Model” by 2018. A year later, the Legislature passed HB 2776, committing the state to funding four parts of the model: • Full funding of student transportation. • Full funding of materials, supplies, and operating costs (MSOC). • Funding for all-day Kindergarten. • Lowering class sizes in grades K-3 to 17:1. The state did make progress in funding these commitments during the 2013-15 biennial budget, but funding HB 2776 would only satisfy part of the McCleary mandate.

According to Article IX of the Washington State Constitution, the state’s “paramount duty” is to provide an “ample” and “uniform” education for all children. In 1977, Judge Robert Doran ruled that the state was in violation of the constituA CUT ABOVE tion because school districts were relying on local special levies to fund a large portion of the costs of the education system.

ture’s task this session is the effect Initiative 1351 may have on achieving the fully-funded education goal. That initiative was approved by voters in November 2014 and requires a smaller class size than in the Legislature’s remedial proposals and the Supreme Court’s mandate. Further, the initiative did not contain a funding resource leaving local school districts and the state’s budget masters to determine how or if it should be implemented, and how to pay for it. This article was prepared by the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction and updated by WNPA Olympia News Bureau Reporter Alice Day.

progress. In September 2014, the Court ruled the state was in contempt for failing to comply with a previous court order, which required the state to submit a “complete plan for fully implementing” funding for the prototypical model “for each school year between now and the 2017-18 school year.” If the Legislature does not adopt such a plan by adjournment of the 2015 legislative session, the Court intends determine whether it would impose sanctions or remedial measures.

their ability to avoid predators and return to their spawning streams. The Washington Legislature passed the Better Brakes Law in 2010 to reduce the amount of copper and other toxic chemicals in brake pads. California passed a similar law at the same time. Since then, the Washington Department of Ecology has worked closely with brake manufacturers and other stakeholders to agree on a plan to reduce copper in brake pads below 5 percent by 2021 and below 0.5 percent by 2025. “This is a big step in the right direction to reduce copper, protect fish and improve our environment,” said Ecolo-
gy Director Maia Bellon. Brake manufacturers (www.copperfreebrakes. org) are reformulating their brake friction materials to ensure quality, performance and safety while meeting the reduced copper standard. Representatives from several vehicle industry groups signed a memorandum of understanding, or MOU, with the EPA and the Environmental Council of the States. “This historic MOU will provide the motor vehicle industry with consistent copper reduction guidelines and eliminate the potential for disparate state regulations,” said Steve Handschuh, pres-

ident and CEO of the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA), one of the key industry associations involved with the effort. “This has been a proactive, collaborative effort by regulatory agencies, states, the automotive aftermarket and the motor vehicle industry to reduce copper in U.S. waterways.” In urban areas, brake pads account for up to half of the copper entering our waterways. In Washington, brake pads release about 250,000 pounds of copper to the environment each year. When Washington’s Better Brakes Law is fully implemented in 2025, this source of copper will be virtually eliminated. John Stark, director of the Washington Stormwater Center, said reducing copper levels will remove one of the barriers to the recovery of salmon in Puget Sound.

Kitsap County man jailed for hit-and-run, had history of poor driving BY PETER O’CAIN POCAIN@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
A 41-year-old Kitsap County man was arrested after colliding head-on with another vehicle and then fleeing the scene on Jan. 21, according to a press release from Bremerton Police. Police say the driver of the suspect vehicle, Sidney Ellis Wright of unincorporated Kitsap County, was driving recklessly on Old Belfair Valley Road near the 7200 block around 7:30 p.m. Wright was allegedly driving his

Rescue crews suspended the search for the pilot at 9 p.m. that evening. Recovery of the aircraft and remains is up to the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Department, and any further investigation would be conducted by the

If McKay had been charged as an adult he could have faced three to four years at the Department of Corrections. Several factors are weighed by the court when it deter-
black Chevy Tahoe 80 mph in a 45 mph zone and passing cars in a double yellow no-passing zone, according to the release. Wright was recently released from prison after serving time for criminal vehicular homicide. Wright was involved in an incident in 2010 on Highway 303 that resulted in the death of a baby, the release said. His driving status is revoked for vehicular homicide. Wright has six pages of driving-related infractions and incidents. Wright was booked into the Kit-
sap County Jail on charges of felony attended hit-and-run, driving while license revoked and reckless driving. Bail was set at $250,000. “We are also working with the Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Office and have asked them to consider a vehicular assault charge,” said Steve Strachan, Bremerton Police chief. “Our officers were very diligent in making sure we had the suspect in custody and got him off the roadways as quickly as possible.” Wright was headed westbound and hit a maroon Ford Explorer in
National Transportation Safety Board, Chief Petty Officer Sara Mooers with the U.S. Coast Guard said Jan. 27. Joshua Cawthra, an aviation accident investigator with the NTSB, said Jan. 27 that he was beginning to look into the crash and speak with witnesses. “Water depth in that area is fairly significant,” Cawthra said, of the 500-600 foot depth of the water there. Mooers would not disclose the pilot’s identity, citing policy. But she did say the pilot “had a residence on Fox Island” and was male. She
said there are no other missing-plane or missing-person reports, and it’s believed the Fox Island man on the driver’s license was the pilot and that he was flying alone. According to the Seattle Times, the pilot was Robert Alexander Jr., 65, and the only plane missing in the area was a Van’s RV-7 homebuilt airplane which was based at Tacoma Narrows Airport in Gig Harbor. Mooers described the debris field as “fairly small,” consisting of red and white aircraft metal, seat cushions, and headsets. “Nothing more

Court documents state McKay had no criminal history nor any known contacts with law enforcement prior to the crash. The document conclud-
ed that the parties agree that “meaningful consequences and community protection are currently available in the juvenile system.” “Based on those facts and conclusions, this Court finds retention of juvenile court jurisdiction is in the best interest of both the juvenile and public.” Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 19.
the eastbound lane. The driver of the Explorer was taken to Harrison Hospital with arm, leg and back pain, as well as a possible concussion. After colliding with the Explorer, the Tahoe spun around in the roadway and then struck at a camping trailer being towed by a third vehicle. The occupants of that vehicle were unharmed. Witnesses from the third vehicle reportedly saw Wright exit the Tahoe and then ask the driver of the Explorer if he was OK. Wright attempted to open the

Raphael Sadowitz, command duty officer at U.S. Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound, said in a press release issued late Jan. 26, “Our prayers and heartfelt wishes go out to the friends and loved ones of those affected by this tragedy.” She added, “We also extend our gratitude to the good
door of the Explorer, but couldn’t, the release said. He then returned to the Tahoe to retrieve a backpack and other items before running into the woods. Bremerton K-9 officer Bryan Hall and his K-9 partner Ando found Wright hiding in the woods east of the scene at 8:41 p.m. Wright was treated for K-9 bites at Harrison Hospital before being booked at Kitsap County Jail. The investigation is continuing. Alcohol does not appear to be a factor.
Samaritans who were quick to report the incident and the local law enforcement personnel who aided in our search. Their efforts helped ensure our ability to swiftly find the location of the crash and thoroughly cover the surrounding areas.” After receiving a call from Kitsap County 911 operators around 1 p.m., reporting a small plane with an unknown number of people on board had crashed in the waters of Hood Canal, Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound launched two MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crews, a 45-foot Response
Boat-Medium crew, and diverted the crew of Coast Guard Cutter Henry Blake to the reported crash site. Other agency responders included personnel from Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office, Mason County Sheriff ’s Office, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, and Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue. According to the Coast Guard, weather at the time of the incident consisted of clear skies, 12 to 15 mph winds, 1-foot seas, air temperature of 53 degrees Fahrenheit, and water temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
OPINION
by imposing a tax or by cutting programs would violate the constitution’s prohibition against initiatives addressing more than one issue. The frustration with I-1351 is understandable, but the Legislature should be careful with amendments to the constitution and with the people’s right to place initiatives on the ballot. The Legislature’s effort to secure agreement among two-thirds of itself would be better spent in amending or suspending I-1351.

The effort to communicate with other public stakeholders in the community has also reached a new level of involvement. What happens through community development impacts housing, that then impacts enrollment which then impacts public provided services. The sharing of information between several local public agencies has already started and this is a very good thing. As the district moves through the series of decisions and course corrections that will take place this year, in three years and also in five years the public continues to be invited and encouraged to participate in the process and more opportunities to do so

Delays coming to Agate Pass EPA applauds green Mariners
Expect delays at bridge Feb. 9-28
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND – The State Route 305 Agate Pass Bridge, which links Bainbridge Island to the Kitsap Peninsula, will be reduced to one lane during daytime hours for 21 consecutive days beginning Feb. 9.

Between Monday, Feb. 9, and Saturday, Feb. 28, drivers will encounter single-lane alternating traffic at the bridge each Monday through Friday between 8:45 a.m. and 3 p.m. On Saturdays and Sundays, the bridge will be reduced to one lane between 7:45 a.m. and 3 p.m. “We know that daytime closures will cause traffic delays, and we wouldn’t be doing the work this way unless we thought it was absolutely necessary. We want to make sure that nothing, not the crews, the equipment, the driving public or the bridge,

M’s set example for sustainability
SEATTLE – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency office in Seattle commended the Seattle Mariners baseball team for winning the “Setting an Example Award” at the Sustainability Leadership Awards hosted by Sustainable Seattle on Jan. 23. The EPA Green Sports Week of Action, from Jan. 26-30, highlights sustainability work of sports teams, facilities and outdoor organizations across the nation. “The Mariners reflect the green values of their
city and fans as they set a national example for sustainable games,” said Dennis McLerran, EPA regional administrator for the Northwest region. “The sustainability practices the Mariners use at Safeco Field on a large scale—recycling, composting, installing efficient lights—are simple and impactful things fans can do at home. It’s important we all do our part because so many cherished Northwest sports and outdoor activities depend on a healthy environment.” The Mariners received the award for their leadership in sustainable ballpark opera-
tions since 2006. The team recently became the first team in Major League Baseball to install energy-saving LED lighting in their ballpark to replace less efficient metal halide fixtures. The new LED lights are expected to reduce energy consumption by 60 to 70 percent and last 30 times longer than the old lights. In addition, the Mariners recycle or compost over 90 percent of all waste generated at Safeco Field. In 2013, the Mariners diverted over three million pounds of waste from landfills and saved $114,000 in waste disposal costs.

My husband doesn’t let anyone win ... including me My husband, Dustin, is one of the most competitive people I know. We’ve known each other since I was first born, but I only really came to understand Dustin’s competitive nature when we were newlyweds. We were living in a small, one-bedroom apartment, and because we did not have children yet, we spent our evenings doing whatever we wanted. Take note expectant parents. When people say “enjoy your flexibility before the baby comes,” they mean it. Now is not the time to be looking through baby catalogs after dinner. Now is the time to do everything you won’t be able to do again for 18 years. On one of these childless nights, Dustin and I decided to play Monopoly. If you have also been married for more than five years, you know what a mistake this was. Newlyweds should play cooperative games, not Monopoly. Here’s the problem with Monopoly in particular: once you are losing, you can never come back. You are just filling a seat and taking your turns so that the winner can enjoy the remaining four hours of the game. Also, Monopoly is
Navy Wise
Sarah Smiley basically all luck. If you are the first person to get around the board and buy property, you will likely win. This is where Dustin disagrees. According to him, “saving money and spending it wisely” means you’ll win. Related: I’ve never won at Monopoly. So there we were, two newlyweds sitting down to a friendly game of Monopoly. Very quickly, I was losing and wanted to stop. But Dustin doesn’t quit games either. Not ever. “This is boring,” I said. “Let’s quit.” “You can’t quit,” he said. “That’s like the worst thing I’ve heard you say.” So I continued to do my turns, despite imminent bankruptcy, and every time I land-
ed on Dustin’s properties, he charged me rent. “But I’m your wife,” I said. “You’re really going to charge me rent?” “In Monopoly? Yes.” That’s when I cried and Dustin said he’d never play Monopoly with me again. Fifteen years later, he hasn’t. Right now, some readers are running to their computer to comment on my lack of sportsmanship. They’ll say this little episode matches my personality—you know, the one they know of through print alone—perfectly. They will wonder if I’m teaching my kids to be sore losers, too. But you will know better than them because you have already read this far, and I’m sure you will read to the end, for the surprise ending. Dustin has never let our children win either. To him, a game is not worth playing if you aren’t going to play at your best. Dustin taught Ford how to play chess when he was 4 years old, and he creamed him in every match. Ford still didn’t fully understand the game, and his dad was beating him every single time. There were a lot of tears and frustration.
“Just let him win once,” I begged. “It will keep him motivated.” “Actually,” Dustin said, “letting him win will do the opposite. Why do you think he wants to play me every night? Because I win, and he can’t wait to beat me.” Dustin even played Monopoly with the boys. Every time, he won. I have since bowed out of most family game nights. I sit in another room and knit while I listen to them argue. If I were to join, I might be tempted to give Lindell a loan, or let him magically inherit some of my real estate. And now I
know that wouldn’t help the boys at all. Here’s why: When Ford was 12 years old, he came into the living room one evening and said, “I just beat dad at chess.” “That’s nice honey,” I said distractedly. “Good for you.” “No, Mom,” he said. “Did you hear me? I BEAT dad. I did it. Eight years later, I beat him.” Dustin came out behind Ford. He had a big grin on his face. “The student has become the master,” he said. Ever since, Ford (and eventually Owen and Lindell, too) have known the true meaning of success. When it comes to
A CENTURY OF HELPING OTHERS. HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?
challenging their father, nothing has ever been handed to them. They have earned every win. Over the years, I’ve learned to revel in beating Dustin, too. I’ve won against him in Scrabble and Rummikub, and I’m still trying with Stratego. So one day recently I said, “Let’s play Monopoly. I promise, I won’t cry this time.” Dustin laughed briefly. And then he said, “No.” “Afraid I’ll win?” I teased. “I’ve been married too long now to think playing Monopoly with you will be fun,” he said. “Or that you will win.”

Pumas announce two players are returning BREMERTON — The Kitsap Pumas continue to add to their roster this week by re-signing defensive midfielder Trevor Jensen and goalkeeper Matt Grosey. Jensen, who became a staple of the Pumas midfield this past season, and Grosey, who played a pivotal role for the Pumas by starting 16 games and earning top ten rankings in the Premier Development League regular season in minutes played, goals against, goals against average and wins, will join fellow midfielder Justin Ortinau, who was re-signed earlier this week, as the first three signings for the club in 2015. A native of Chula Vista, Calif., Jensen grew up playing for the highly respected San Diego Nomads Soccer Club. While at Willamette University, Jensen scored 17 career goals, getting a school record 18 career assists and earning both all-conference first team honors and an all west-region third team selection in 2013. After making the long trip to Bremerton two weekends in a row for both invitational tryouts, Jensen was offered a spot on the 2014 Puma’s roster. He was only one of a few non-Division 1 collegiate players to make the Puma roster. Grosey, meanwhile, is no stranger to top competition or high-praise for his talents in the net. After growing up in San Mateo, Calif., Grosey attended West Valley College in Saratoga. WVC is one of the premier junior college soccer programs in the country with a long tradition of success. Grosey earned Coast Conference Goalkeeper of the Year both seasons and first-team all-western conference honors his freshman year. After his two years of community college, Grosey received a scholarship to play for the newly-formed Division 1 soccer program at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, where he would pursue a degree in engineering as well. His outstanding play earned him all-conference honors by being named second-team all-conference in the Summit League both seasons at UNO.

BLUE FRIDAY
Special Seahawk Content Road to the BIG GAME
Seahawks vs. Patriots: How the QBs compare By RICH MYHRE Sound Publishing At first glance, there is little resemblance between Tom Brady of the New England Patriots and Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks, the two starting quarterbacks in Super Bowl XLIX. At 6 feet 4 inches, Brady is 5 inches taller than Wilson. At 37, Brady is also 11 years older than Wilson. But there is also a difference in style, with Brady a prototype pocket passer and Wilson a threat to throw on rollouts and even scramble for additional yards as a nimble runner. For all these reasons, no one is likely to confuse Brady and Wilson in Sunday’s NFL championship game. But for all the differences, there are similarities, too. Certainly in terms of their careers, with the regular-season statistics for Brady’s first
three years as a starter (his second, third and fourth NFL seasons) very closely matching Wilson’s numbers in his first three seasons. Brady, who played at Michigan before becoming a sixth-round draft pick in 2000, has a modest edge in passing attempts, completions and yards, while Wilson, who attended Wisconsin before being drafted in the third round in 2012, has a slight edge in completion percentage and touchdowns, while also throwing fewer interceptions. The records of the two teams are also very close for those same three seasons. Brady led his team to a combined 34-14 regular-season mark and two Super Bowl titles between 2001-03, while the Seahawks under Wilson are 36-12 with one Super Bowl championship and another still up for grabs. “They have the commonality of being two guys that are great winners,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “Tom has had a
long time to prove that. Russell is at the early stages of proving that to the world, but I think he’s got a chance to be similar.” Indeed, others say, what unites Brady and Wilson goes beyond raw numbers. The two quarterbacks are alike in their inner drive and in a steadfast determination to help their teams win.
first thing that comes to my mind is they’re both winners. Tom Brady has won in this league for a long, long time, and Russell is only in his third year and he’s been winning pretty well in his own right. “I think both them are ultimate competitors. They almost will their teams to victories in many different ways,” Bevell said.
“Both guys are leaders, and the other similarity they both have is their heart, which you cannot coach,” said Lawyer Milloy, a former All-Pro safety who was Brady’s teammate for the latter’s first two NFL seasons. “(Brady and Wilson) both have a passion, a desire and a will to prove something,” added Milloy, a former University of Washington player from Tacoma who is retired from football and is back in the Puget Sound area, where he has a chance to watch Wilson play every week. Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell agrees. Asked for similarities between Brady and Wilson, Bevell said, “The
Carl Smith, Seattle’s quarterbacks coach, has obviously spent a lot of time with Wilson in his three Seahawks seasons. Likewise, Smith came close to coaching Brady, having been with Carroll when he was New England’s head coach. Carroll and Smith left the Patriots a few months before Brady was drafted in 2000. When it comes to common traits for Brady and Wilson, Smith said, “the first thing that comes to mind is that they’re both in the Super Bowl, and that’s a big one. They’ve both been very successful and
they’ve both won since they started playing. They were both instant winners in the NFL. “They obviously have different
12
styles and they run different offenses,” Smith said, “but they’re both really good in their offenses. And they both have the drive to be great.”

THE STARS AND THE
W
ho would have thought the long-awaited Age of Aquarius would arrive as a demonstration of shining possibilities by a football team. Yes, we won the NFC Championship in a dramatic string of miracles, but what we truly witnessed was the principles of Aquarius in dynamic action.
During my moments of doubt, mid-fourth quarter, I entertained myself with the Seahawks’ astrological chart, wondering what the stars had to say. The Seahawks are born under the heroic sign of Leo. But, standing beside the Sun is Saturn, the taskmaster. In order for Leo — the Seahawks — to shine, Saturn demands blood, sweat and tears, even failure. Give him his due, however, and expect radiance.

eeling fried? The electrical craziness of Jan. 20’s Aquarian new moon settles down with Mercury retrograde giving us a chance to figure out where in the world we are shooting off to. To survive the upheaval in our society, everyone needs to figure out a personal mission statement — a two-year process is coming up — but we know deep inside we can’t keep throwing everything we’ve got at the wall and getting stuck with what sticks! The Feb. 3 full moon in Leo teams up with expansive Jupiter, also retrograde, and lined up with slow moving Saturn who puts a damper on the party. This combination deepens the question of
where are we going so fast, do we really want to go there, and heck, is it fun? Pisces energy softens intensity, as Mars — the god of war — waltzes with his goddess of love, Venus. We need this quiet break, people, so plan a few fun, mindless dates. Valentine’s at the General Store Cafe in Port Gamble? Quiet time in front of a slot machine at The Point or the Clearwater Casino? An art or nature walk? Find your zen somehow.

Feb. 3-18 Aquarius, you may or may not be the problem in the your larger circle of friends. Stay true to yourself as you wait it out. A close friend could hold the mirror for you. Meanwhile, proceed cautiously with organizational plans. Pisces, you are oh, so (too) willing to give yourself up for the greater good but, my little angel, your body must be tended to. However you do that, make it fun. Maybe a spa date at the Longworth Studio with your best pal could perk you up and leave you looking good. Aries, your body is

SEAHAWKS
A special column by Kitsap Week’s astrologer, Suzanne O’Clair

With nothing happening on the field to back up my analysis, I said, “The team chart says these guys are going to the Super Bowl, again. I don’t get how, but it’s their destiny.” The Seahawks must have earned Saturn’s approval because something stepped in late in that championship game — luck, angels, fate, Uranus — and miracles materialized. Russell Wilson’s Leo moon matches up with the
Seahawks’ sun, and the Marshawn Lynch’s moon aligns with the Libra moon in the team’s chart. Many team members have associations like these to the Seahawks, and they all spell destiny. Will the Super Bowl be another miracle? The team chart is the core of the matter and Aquarius comes forward this time in opposition to their Leo sun. They need a worthy opponent to push against to win Saturn’s approval once again. Then Uranus, the wild card of the planets and ruler of Aquarius, can shift chaos into genius. This year may be a more up front and personally-emotional game for the team. The key is to think like spiritual warriors with focused intensity full of respect, love and compassion for teammates
SIGNS Aries: March 21 - April 19 Taurus: April 20 - May 20 Gemini: May 21 - June 20 Cancer: June 21 - July 22 Leo: July 23 - Aug. 22 Virgo: Aug. 23 - Sept. 22 Libra: Sept. 23 - Oct. 22 Scorpio: Oct. 23 - Nov. 21 Sagittarius: Nov. 22 - Dec. 21 Capricorn: Dec. 22 - January 19 Aquarius: Jan. 20 - Feb. 18 Pisces: Feb. 19 - March 20 a transforming station for electrical energy. Seriously, touching others can heal them. Remember not everything can be figured out — let information come to you through dreams, repetitive images, song lyrics or time with your goddess of love. Taurus, work is busy and as hard to organize as a basket of kittens. Home looks oh, so far away and the god and goddess combo is a direct hit to your heart. Take a gentle, wandering, unfocused stroll with your sweetie or dog. Nature is always a balm for you. Gemini, your friend Mercury, going retrograde, slows you down enough to realize how fast you’ve been moving. You seriously need a mission statement ... not too little, and not too big, but just right so you can stick to it and not get bored. Logic is
your strong suit but gentle dreams saturate the air. All is information you can use to find your north star. Cancer, in a real sense, any full moon is your full moon because the moon is your ruler. This one has you pondering resources, time, money, energy and your body on two levels: how you use those for yourself and in close partnerships. You give a lot, but you also soak up a lot from others. Taking care of your body is a habit you must practice. Leo, this is your full moon. Yahoo! Cozied up to Jupiter and wired to Aquarius, you are totally ready to party with brilliant, weird and wired friends and lovers. You may even enjoy a moment in the spotlight — dancing on the table tops or dazzling others with your wisdom. Your personal statement is well on its
and opponents. Pete Carroll, the Virgo strategist, is unlikely to lose sight of reality. The sign of miracles is Pisces — a water sign which is heavily represented in the chart for Superbowl day, and in the Seahawks’ chart, especially in Carroll’s. He’s brought in the miracle-making tools of Pisces — meditation, tai-chi and yoga. His genius lies in showing us that you can do everything right, but to invite the miracle in, you must add love. For the fans, the hidden miracle we were privy to was seeing the Age of Aquarius arrive on the wings of the Seahawks. We are entering a 2,600 year age. We should be taking mere baby steps in a new direction. But, it seems the Seahawks got
the Aquarian Age memo before the rest of us and they have forged ahead with the new blueprint. The formula: build up every person until he is radiant in his own right and teach him to collaborate with the larger group to bring forth something new and exciting — a better team, a better world. Our team showed us our future and we can honor the Seahawks by applying these ideals in daily life and being rewarded, individually and collectively. What does the future hold for the Seahawks? Would we want to know ahead of time? No, we love football because anything can happen during any game, especially when stars and destiny collide on a football field.
way and others seek your guidance. Virgo is another friend of retrograde Mercury. Getting the nitty-gritty of life just right takes real perception and observation. Watch yourself as though a little drone flies over your head taking notes. You have a guardian angel, willing to help if you ask. Messages await in dreams. Libra, Aquarius is such a kick with the snap, crackle, pop of creativity. Circulate among large groups and wacky friends to get the most out of this moon. Venus and Mars may be showing you exactly where you’ve lost your focus in your ‘handson, get the work done’ routines. Ahhhh, there it is! Scorpio, technology is fun — when it works. Electricity at your base could be burning out systems. What tools do you really need, and which are toys not worth your time? The Mars/Venus dance shows up in your area of fun and romance. Let someone take you down a soft, fuzzy road. It’s not natural for you, but you need the break. Sagittarius, we can only hope the Seahawks’ Russell Wilson has as fortunate a full moon as you are up for. While hanging out in the personal arenas of your life, you’re pondering your pole star. What is a mission statement that includes heart and tender-
ness, and recognizes that everyone needs recognition? Capricorn, power behind the scenes must work for individual power — then a culture has true justice and power. Heavy, man. Keep the faith, speak with compassion about the 1 percent and lean into your mission. You aren’t alone — look behind you where many join the grassroots revolution. OMG, you are a leader!

Getting fit, healthy and sticking with it Kitsap’s workout experts give tips on accomplishing your get-fit goals BY RICHARD D. OXLEY Kitsap Week
M
aking a New Year’s resolution to get fit and healthy is almost as much of a tradition as ditching those goals shortly after the holiday. Industry experts know the season of reflection plays a significant part in people running to gyms, clubs and more. On average, 12.1 percent of gym memberships are purchased in January. That drops to 9.3 percent in February, and those two numbers are the highest of the years. The rate drops to 6.9 percent in July, and rises to 8 percent in December, according to the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association, an organization that represents the gym industry. The association provides plenty of insights into the fitness scene. Barre and Pilates are the top two group exercise activities for women. Tai Chi and kickboxing are the most popular for men. The association has found that Baby Boomers enjoy more traditional aerobics exercises. Barre, yoga and cross training are the forms of exercise most utilized by Generation Y. There’s a lot to consider when undertaking get-fit goals. Diets, tips, exercises, and more compete for attention in the fitness scene. But Kitsap’s fitness gurus have a few words of advice for those who have started a get-fit journey. There are many paths to getting healthy, and local experts know a thing or two to stay on your path. Here’s what they advise. Colby Morse, Agate Pass CrossFit, Poulsbo “The work you put in creates the results you get out,” Morse said. Make realistic and attainable goals. Having big goals isn’t a bad thing

and we all have them but smaller goals is a great way to show your self improvement. If you make too big of goals in too short of time then it can be discouraging if they are not met. Diet is the key to success. It doesn’t matter how much exercise you are doing if you aren’t eating right. You must give your body the proper fuel to perform.

Little bits every day, and don’t sweat it if you miss a work out or two, just get back on the horse.” Prepare for a lifestyle
change, nothing temporary like a short-term diet or a short-term get-fit plan. Keep it an accumulative program focused on all aspects of fitness, strength, cardiovascular and flexibility. You’ll want a balanced routine for full mobility of the body. It’s like a tripod, one leg is cardiovascular, the other one is strength, and the other is flexibility. If you knock one of those off it will fall down. Making long-term changes in nutrition is a priority. Stop looking at food as recreation and focus on things you should be eating, health wise. Understand the relationship between the food you eat and what it will do to the body. Part of the problem is that there are about 1,000 diets out there on the market place. People keep looking at the “what” versus the “why.” Look at it as a constant learning process. Constantly look to add new things to the routine, new moves on the floor, keep looking for foods and supplementation. Don’t look at it like you’ve already got everything in the bag. Use your resources, whether it’s the Internet, YouTube, hiring a trainer, or hiring a nutritionist. If you don’t know, be inquisitive and ask, rather than do what most people will do, which is fly blind and when they don’t get results they get discouraged. — West Coast Fitness 4740 Ramsey Road Southeast, Port Orchard. 360-874-2818 Michael Rosenthal, owner of Island Fitness, Bainbridge Island “Exercise and fitness is not one-size-fits-all,” Rosenthal said. “The key to success is finding the right plan for you.” Set realistic goals. Setting goals is an excellent way to stay on plan. If you want to run a marathon, start with learning proper running form.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Life coach helps clients with health and wellness
Taking charge of your own health is often the key By LESLIE KELLY

atherine Van Slyke has always been into fitness and health. But it took seeing her mother — who was ill with cancer — turn her life over to doctors that made Van Slyke realize she wanted to help others take control of their health and wellness. “She was handing her body over to the doctors,” Van Slyke said. “She wasn’t taking ownership for her physicality.” Watching that, and finding herself busy with young children and not paying attention to her own health, Van Slyke knew things needed to change. “I really wanted to get healthy,” she said. “I’d struggled with my weight all my life and I just didn’t want to go on another diet. I wanted to own my health and happiness.” That, she said, took tapping into something deeper. She knew she had to “drive her own ship.” So, she enrolled in a program to become certified as a professional wellness coach. She enrolled in the

Katherine Van Slyke Her approach to each client is different and depends on the personal goals each client has. “The goal is always to get to a place where we’re healthy and feel good about ourselves,” she said. “There’s no one method.” It does include looking at “self-talk,” she said. “When someone comes to me and says they’re miserable in their skin, that they know they need to lose weight and that they aren’t healthy, just giving them exercises and telling them what to eat may help for awhile,” she said. “But

She also is an associate certified coach through the International Coach Federation, and a federation member; a certified health coach through Villanova University; and has a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Occidental College. Her business is named “Intality” and is a combination of the motto: “Where intentions become reality.”

with a client weekly for 30 to 45 minutes at a cost $250 a month. If at the three-month mark change isn’t happening, then she and the client re-evaluate what direction to go. Typical clients work with her for a year. She meets in person with clients and over the phone, sometimes using Skype. Her clients range in age from the mid-30s to the mid-60s. Not everyone she sees has issues with weight. Her clients have included individuals coming back from cancer and strokes, and trying to face the physical limitations they now have. “Disease limits our physical capability,” she said. “I work with those clients to focus on what’s possible.” Another client was someone who was the “caretaker” for everyone around her, and hence, put herself last. Creating a way for her to make time to care for herself was the goal. Coaching clients in wellness means creating new ways of communicating

from within, Van Slyke said. “As humans, we create habits and patterns,” she said. “Negative self-talk falls into that. There’s a science component to it where hormones are released and we actually can become addicted to it. “You have to be aware of that and replace the negative patterns with positive ones.” Her coaching has not only been a success professionally, but personally. She’s gotten healthier herself and she’s much happier. “I was in my 40s and just sitting around with my kids and I said to myself, ‘I don’t want to feel like this,’ ” she said. “Since becoming a coach and taking control of my health, the quality of my life is just outstanding.” To contact Van Slyke , email katherinevanslyke@ gmail.com, or call 206-3538583.

if you don’t get at the negative self-talk that’s going on, ultimately, the person will go back to their old habits.” So, her coaching work includes helping each client look at their inner critic. But it differs from psychotherapy and mental health counseling. “With psychotherapy, the person looks back at their life — at the trauma — and tries to find the root of the issue or the negative feelings,” she said. “In health coaching, we work from the now and move forward. We work to erase the bad habits and what’s getting in the way. In coaching, the client is the expert. They tap into what’s getting in their way.” The work includes “homework” tasks including noticing when the negative self talk happens and replacing it with positive messages. “These steps help to develop new pathways to create new habits,” she said.

Valhalla Dental has new owner, new look

inding a great new home for his dental practice and for his family is what brought Richard Weatherill to Poulsbo. And he’s loving it. “This is just the kind of place I always thought I’d end up when I started a practice and a family,” Weatherill said. “This is the perfect opportunity for us.” Last fall, Weatherill purchased the dental practice from Dr. Kevin Pulver. After 32 years as a dentist, Pulver decided to retire and sold Valhalla Dental Clinic located at 19365 Seventh Ave. NE, Suite 106, to Weatherill. Weatherill’s first day in charge was Oct. 13. Since that time, he’s been busy seeing patients Monday through Thursday, and in the off hours, renovating the office. “We’d see our last patient on Thursday afternoon and then from Thursday night to Sunday evening, we were in here working,” he said. The clinic has new dental equipment and chairs, flooring, carpeting, computers and software programs, Additionally, he added digital X-rays, and an inter-oral digital camera. “The camera is about the size of a pen and can capture an image that the patient can see on a (television) screen,” he said. “It’s a great way for a dentist to show a patient what’s really going on.” And he said, the digital X-rays are instantaneous and have one-tenth the radiation exposure, he said. One thing has remained the same. “I kept the name — Valhalla Dental,” he said. “It’s a good name. It suits the community and I wanted to keep that theme going.” He’s also added some sandwich boards that

bear characters of teeth in Viking hats. Weatherill grew up in Jasper, Alberta, Canada and attended the University of Calgary where he earned bachelor’s degrees in zoology and psychology. From there he went to study in Sydney, Australia at a dental school that is internationally known. After graduating in 2006, he completed one year of dental residency at

Although it seems like a “duh” statement, avoiding sugary foods is pivotal to help ensure dental health.

He then spent three years working in a private dental practice in Richland before coming to Western Washington, where he was in practice two years in Sequim. “We just love this area,” he said of he and his wife, Angela, and their 21-month-old daughter Victoria. “When we were in Sequim, we’d spend the weekends here in Kitsap County doing family things.”
So, when he found a clinic for sale in Poulsbo, he jumped at the chance to purchase it. He inherited about 1,600 patients but is taking new patients. He sees all ages and does general dentistry, and focuses on restorative work and cosmetic implants. He takes emergencies too. He employs one hygienist, two dental assistants, a front office assistant, and his wife who has an accounting background, is

the business’s bookkeeper. Being up with the latest technology and knowledge in dentistry is important to Weatherill. He takes at least 50 hours of continuing education each year and plans for his staff to go to dental conferences as a team. “This isn’t the ‘Dr. Rick Show,’ ” he said. “We work as a team and we are a great team. I’m committed to continuing my education and theirs.” He is a member of the American Dental Association, the Washington State Dental Association, the Kitsap County Dental Society, the Academy of General Dentistry and leads the study club. His office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and he will soon expand those hours. Positive experience is what he aims to give. “Some people do fear the dentist,” he said. “But it can be an enjoyable experience. I was lucky. I had a great dentist as a kid and he’s been my role model. “What we’re doing is offering dental care in a more relaxed environment. We don’t want patients to feel we are rushing them like they’re being spun through a factory.” And, just to keep things on the up-and-up with the kids, he has a treasure box filled with “sticky hands,” stickers, pens and pencils. “Certainly the kids get something after their exam is over,” he said. Weatherill accepts most dental insurance plans and has flexible payment options. He provides free oral cancer screenings, free second opinions, and help with understanding dental insurance. “We welcome anyone looking for a great dental experience,” he said. “Contact us or, even better, come in and see us.”
Rinse out your mouth with mouthwash, or at least water, after every meal. This practice will help kill germs and prevent others from knowing you had onions on your sandwich. Remember that a smile speaks every language — it’s the only thing that depicts “one size fits all.” A healthy smile wouldn’t be the same without shiny teeth to lend their support. — American Dental Association

Personal training is a calling for her By LESLIE KELLY

S
he’s been working out since seventh grade, at about the time Jazzercise came out. But through a calling from God, Rebecca Diehl has made her passion for exercise and her passion for people into a business. Diehl, who says she’s “over 40,” became certified as a personal trainer almost five years ago by the National Federation of Professional Trainers. She instructs clients at Westcoast Fitness in Port Orchard and in clients’ homes. It all started very innocently, she said. “There was one of those local ‘Biggest Loser’ contests and a woman I know asked me to help her,” Diehl said. “She was a teacher and knew that I worked out a lot. “After that, the owner of the gym where I worked
out said they needed trainers and asked me if was I certified. I wasn’t but I thought ‘I’ve always done it and I’ve always been into it but I never said it out loud.’ So I prayed about it and I figured out that this was my calling.” Her work isn’t just helping clients learn about physical exercise. It’s a combination of emotional, spiritual and physical work. “Everybody knows that there’s more to it just working out,” she said. “You have to look at what’s making the person want to improve themselves and their goals are.” She refers to that as her Cheez-It lesson. “I tell my clients that they are too valuable to eat Cheez-Its over and over,” she said. “If they truly understand how valuable they are, then they’ll make time for exercise and they’ll begin to treat themselves better.”

She also knows that when life gets busy, exercise is one of the things that falls by the wayside. “The first thing to go is exercise,” she said. “The second thing is quiet time and the third is our diet.” Even she faces that sometimes. “When that happens, I make my husband drag me to the gym,” she said. “It’s especially hard in January when it’s dark and gray.” Diehl has lived in Port Orchard for 17 years and is originally from San Diego. She and her family relocated to Port Orchard for her husband’s construction job. They have four sons, ages 20, 18, 16, and 12. When her boys were young, she had an in-home gym, but as soon as they were old enough to be left alone, she’d head to the gym for a hour. Now, in addition to working with clients from 10 to

Being overweight in past societies was a sign of wealth and beauty. Do you feel like the richest society ever? Most people don’t. Why is that? In order to obtain the best health today, what do we know? Eat less and move more. Drink a lot more water. Eat natural foods, not processed foods. Exercise 60 minutes per day. Get the sleep you need. Finally, drop the bad habits that contribute negatively to your health. You know what they are. We know what to do so why is it so hard to actually do it? Along with all of the wonderful things that 2015 has to offer, it also comes with challenges and temptations like no other society has ever faced. We have so many choices. Indulgences in food and experiences abound, and modern conveniences free us to fill our lives up with more things to do than just provide for the basics of life. The stress of so many choices adversely affects our health. Stress must be managed. Strategy can be applied to get and stay fit, and science can be used to work smarter not harder. Let’s start with strategy. How do you plan your day? You get to choose. If you don’t plan healthy choices then unhealthy ones are easily made in the moment of need. Plan your meals (four to six small meals keep energy consistent). Pack your food in a cooler and have it with you throughout the day (temptation evaded). Schedule your exercise and keep that appointment (no excuses). Set aside time
for quietness or rest each day (60 minutes per day minimum, broken up or combined). Monitor your environment for negativity and make important choices to keep it to a minimum (deliberately implement positive and encouraging contributions). Solicit support from family, friends, or a personal trainer for accountability. Also, a workout partner makes it more fun. Let’s benefit from our great gift of science. Eating small meals throughout the day boosts metabolism. Combining lean protein, low-glycemic carbohydrates, and healthy fat at each meal keeps insulin under control and controls weight gain. Strength training with weights can build muscle, and the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn during the day. Lower intensity exercise for a longer duration (45-plus minutes per session at 60-70 percent of your target heart rate) burns more fat than higher intensity exercise. Drinking ice water lowers your body’s core temperature so your metabolism is boosted to bring your temperature back to normal. Sleep is restorative to the body, and getting enough sleep fights fatigue. Science has also proven that happiness increases our productivity. Examples include, be thankful, forgive and be kind to yourself and others, find something that makes you laugh every day, etc. In this quest for optimal health — attitude is everything. You are powerful in your choices to govern your health and fitness — believe it. Let’s do this. — Rebecca Diehl is a certified personal trainer.

New year begins with Lyric hearing care
By MEGAN NIGHTINGALE Contributor
A
new year has begun and with it an exciting adventure for those of us at Peninsula Hearing. We are now offering a new and different concept in hearing care called the Lyric. Lyric has been around for a few years, however Peninsula Hearing in Poulsbo is the first hearing professional on the peninsula to offer Lyric. The Lyric concept is one similar to extended wear contact lenses for the eye. Lyric is still the only “extended wear” hearing device available. The concept centers on a very small device (about the size of a pinto bean) that is placed deep in the ear canal within about 4 millimeters of the ear drum. The device stays put in the canal until the battery dies which can be up to four months. The device
is then taken out of the ear canal by a trained professional and a new one placed back in the canal. The device is designed to be worn 24 hours a day, seven days a week. While the thought of a traditional hearing aid being worn 24/7 is not very pleasant, Lyric when properly placed in the ear canal can hardly be felt. The mechanics of the Lyric is surrounded by a spongy material that allows moisture to escape and the ear canal to breathe which is very important for ear canal health. The advantage of having a hearing device placed so close to the ear drum is that the sound is very natural because not as much amplification is needed as with a traditional device. Also, by virtue of the placement of Lyric the brain can take advantage of the ear’s natural background noise fighting capabilities. Lyric is very convenient
Megan Nightingale, AuD, doctor of audiology. for the user as well. One does not have to change batteries or take the device on and off the ear. The
device can be adjusted for volume and turned into what is called “sleep mode” for nighttime use by using
a magnet tool. Lyric is sold on a subscription basis for one, two or three years at a time.
The makers of Lyric do state that Lyric is clearly not for everyone. There are some people who cannot have anything in their ear canal and some whose hearing issues are so great that it is beyond the amplification ability of the device. “For the people who have tried it and liked it however, it is a miracle; they rave about it,” said Nightingale. — If you are interested in learning more about this new concept in hearing care, see Peninsula Hearing’s advertisement in this section for a free lunch and learning session on Feb. 11, 2 p.m. in the Poulsbo Library downstairs meeting room. Peninsula Hearing is located at 19319 Seventh Ave. NE , Suite 102, in Poulsbo. Call 360 697-3061 for more information or to schedule a hearing examination.
Local Lions want to help you maintain healthy vision By LESLIE KELLY
lkelly@soundpublishing.com
J
ames Schoettler has an eye for better vision. And so do other Lions Club members throughout Kitsap County. January was National Eye Care Month. But any month is a great time to take a look at your vision. Schoettler and more than 85 other members of the Poulsbo Lions Club are determined to help anyone in the community who may have a vision problem. The Poulsbo Lions Club is partnering with the Poulsbo Library to offer a free vision screening clinic from 3-5 p.m. on Feb. 24 at the library. The clinic will be repeated on March 31 and April 28. According to Schoettler, a main goal of the Lions Clubs internationally is sight conservation. “There are a number of ways that we are working on that,” he said. “We pick up used eye glasses and send them to a processing place in Lacey where they are cleaned and the prescription is read and classified. Those glasses are then sent to people in Third World countries through missionary workers.” Here in the U.S., Lions Clubs such as Poulsbo, work to offer vision screenings, especially to pre-school children, so that any vision problems can be caught
and corrected before children enter school. “We want to catch anything that is wrong so that it can be dealt with before they begin school,” he said. “So that it is not a hinderance to them as they study. We don’t want any child to get behind in school just because they need glasses.” Once a child is screened and a determination is made as to what the child needs, the Lions then can help with the cost of further vision care by a professional and glasses if needed. “Sometimes these kids come from families that can’t afford glasses,” he said. “We can help with that, too.” The Poulsbo Lions Club has two Welch Allyn SureSight screening machines which are used to determine common problems such as far sightedness, near sightedness, astigmatism and amblyopia or what’s commonly know as lazy eye. There are six Poulsbo Lions who are trained to use the machines at the clinics to determine sight problems. Additionally, the club goes out to community fairs and kids’ days to do screenings. The machines they use each cost $7,000 and the Lions fundraised to purchase them and to help with eye care health throughout the year. Events

include their annual dinner and auction. “Everything we raise goes back into the community,” he said. Schoettler has been a Lion for more than 25 years. He’s been the committee chairman for the screening project for a couple of years. A retired Poulsbo grocer, his dedication to good sight is genuine. “It was way back in 1927 when Helen Keller challenged all Lions Clubs to become the ‘Knights of the blind,’” he said. “We’ve been
doing this work ever since.” He said any person of any age can be screened, even those as young as infants. “When you are very young, your eyes are changing all the time,” he said. “It’s hard to pinpoint how bad the situation is. But catching anything early is the best thing.” Schoettler said the Poulsbo Lions are also working with Peninsula Hearing to begin hearing screenings that will work similar to the sight screenings. Eye doctors suggest an annual
eye exam because vision changes continually and finding issues early is important. Other local Lions Clubs that provide vision checks are: n Bremerton Central Lions (www.bremertoncentralwa.lionwap.org) n Silverdale Sunrise Lions (www.e-clubhouse.org/sites/ silverdalesunrisewa) n Silverdale Dandy Lions (www.silverdaledandywa.lionwap. org) n Port Orchard Lions (www. portorchardwa.lionwap.org).

Acupuncture is an opportunity for pain control
By KIPP ROBERTSON
krobertson@soundpublishing.com
M
any Americans are in denial about their
health. That’s according to Robert Doane, owner of the Acupuncture & Wellness Center in Poulsbo, who helps treat hundreds of patients per week. His practice steers away from pharmaceuticals, which Doane said just mask health issues. “We’ve dropped to 50th in the world in terms of health,” Doane said. There are more health care visits per capita in the United States than most places in the world, he said. The business Doane opened in 1998 is attempting to find the source of people’s pain, not cover it up. The Acupuncture & Wellness Center has more than 13,000 patients, according to Doane. He says the clinic is the largest single-owner Chinese medicine practice in the country. The practice focuses on distal point needle acupuncture and pulse diagnosis. “It’s not the only
method,” Doane said. “But you can look your patient in the eye and say ‘I can treat you.’” The clinic also offers non-needle alternatives and herbal medicine. The practice has patients with health issues such as diabetes, cardiovascular problems, inflammatory disease, allergies, anxiety and depression. Chinese medicine is “very good” at treating problems, Doane said. The clinic can help patients live an overall healthier lifestyle. The drawback to Chinese medicine is its weakness in treating trauma, he said. The human body’s pulse is used to determine what potential health issues exist for a patient at Acupuncture & Wellness. Issues with sinuses, the neck or back, for example, can be determined with the pulse, Doane said. Instead of treating symptoms, Doane and his staff treat what they consider to be the number one cause of health issues — bad blood circulation. “As we get older, the flow of nutrients, blood

He said poor circulation can cause pain to remain in the body, even after an injury has healed. “(The body) can’t repair itself.” Doane said a common misconception is that being physically fit means someone is healthy. He said that is not the case. For example, athletes involved in
long-distance sports, such as distance running, have damaged hearts — with a heart pumping 15 quarts of blood per minute. “Chinese medicine is unique because we’re not chasing symptoms,” he added. Doane travels the world to educate medical practitioners about the benefits of Chinese medicine. He has a website, www.doane. us, with tutorials accessed
through subscription. Andrea, a Gig Harbor resident who asked to be identified by first name only, visits the clinic for stress and trouble sleeping. She said what the clinic does for her makes it worth the trip. A bonus is there are no side effects to the treatment, she said. The Poulsbo clinic also is a go-to for those looking for a residency program. Kyleen Lee, who joined
the program about three years ago, was drawn to the volume of patients the clinic sees. “It was a chance to treat 30 to 40 patients a day,” she said. “At a typical Chinese medicine clinic you’re treating 30-40 (patients) a week.” Lee went through a three-day interview process, which required her to be on her feet from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. She helped treat more than 50 patients during her interview. “It’s a rush,” she said. A visit to the Acupuncture & Wellness Center costs $150 without insurance. Co-pay methods are available with insurance. The clinic does herbal consultation, massage, nutritional counseling and weight loss. Doane has a bachelor’s degree in physics from the University of Washington, a master’s degree in Vedic philosophy from Meru University in Switzerland, and a master’s degree in Chinese Medicine from Santa Barbara College. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Pain Management.

o you feel like you are on a roller coaster of losing and gaining those same unwanted pounds over and over? If so, you are not alone. Most people in your situation have lost count of how many diets, pills, shakes and gadgets they have tried in hopes of finally losing weight for good. It’s time to stop searching for a magic cure and learn what it really takes to lose pounds and keep them off. These six steps offer a no-nonsense approach to losing the weight for good: 1. Understand weight loss. There is no other way around it — in order to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume. One pound of body fat equals 3,500 calories. If you want to lose 1 pound per week you need to average a caloric deficit of 500 calories per day.
ing your caloric intake and increasing your physical activity. For example, to create a 500-calorie deficit per day, cut back 250 calories from your diet and burn 250 calories doing a physical activity that you enjoy. 4. Find ways to cut back on calories. Some suggesIdeally, this is done by increasing physical activity and making some cutbacks in your diet. Realize that the weight will come off more quickly at first, but then slow down. 2. Calculate your daily caloric requirement. The amount of calories that you need in a day depends on your basal metabolic rate (BMR). This is the amount of calories your body uses at rest. BMR accounts for roughly 60 to 75 percent of
all the calories you burn in a given day. Calculate your BMR and daily caloric needs: Set a realistic weight loss goal. A goal of losing no more than 1 to 2 pounds per week is realistic and attainable. Larger, quicker weight loss will most likely be regained. 3. Determine your strategy. No matter what your weight loss goal is, the best approach is to create a caloric deficit by decreas-
tions include: Decrease portion sizes. Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. Don’t skip breakfast. Don’t drink your calories (i.e. soda, juice, alcohol, coffee with cream). Substitute healthy fats for unhealthy saturated and trans fats. Load up on fruits, veggies, low-fat dairy, lean meats and good carbs. Be consistent throughout the week instead of dieting more strictly on
certain days of the week. 5. Burn more calories by getting active. Aim for 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week. Adding strength training will also elevate your basal metabolic rate, so that you burn more calories even when you are resting. Check with your health care provider if you are not sure if you are healthy enough to begin exercising. — Contact Mary Mollahan at mmollahan@ soundpublishing.com

Therapist says ‘It isn’t ‘woo-woo,’ it works’
Hypnotherapy can help people overcome life’s obstacles By RICHARD WALKER
rwalker@soundpublishing.com
I
f you’ve ever doubted the effectiveness of hypnotism, consider this: No. 1: According to the American Psychological Association, hypnotism “has proven effective in interventional radiology, various surgical procedures, the treatment of burns, child-birth labor pain, bone marrow aspiration pain, and pain related to dental work, especially so with children. “Chronic pain conditions for which hypnosis has been used successfully include, among others, headache, backache, fibromyalgia, carcinoma-related pain, temporal mandibular disorder pain, and mixed chronic pain. Hypnosis can alleviate the sensory and/ or affective components of a pain experience, which may be all that is required for acute pain.” No. 2: Many athletes have long employed a form of self-hypnosis — “mental imagery,” or visualization — to become more competitive and improve their performance. Citing a report in Psychology Today and a study in the Journal of Sports &
Richard Walker photo
Kayla Wentworth, who practices hypnotherapy in Poulsbo, says it’s empowering. Exercise Psychology, Carolyn Gregoire wrote in Huffington Post, “Research on the brain patterns of weightlifters found that the patterns activated when a weightlifter lifted heavy weights were activated similarly when they simply imagined lifting.” The study found that “imagining weight lifting caused actual changes in muscle activity.” So, why not you? Trying to lose weight? Quit smoking? Up your game? Hypnotherapy can help. “There’s nothing mystical about it. It isn’t ‘woo-woo,’ ” said Kayla Wentworth, a certified clinical hypnotherapist in Poulsbo.
After all, we are subjected to the power of suggestion every day, she said; that’s what advertising and marketing are all about, getting a message to stick in your head. In fact, the brain is constantly taking in information that influences our decision-making, our opinions, even how we view ourselves. Hypnosis can override that. “Hypnosis is simply a state of being relaxed,” she said, adding that the word “hypnosis” is a Greek word meaning “sleep.” “When you’re in a state of deep relaxation, that’s hypnosis. The chatter goes away and the brain is open to suggestion. It’s like putting new information into a
computer.” For someone trying to lose weight, that new information may be to have a drink of water instead of eating when you think you’re hungry. For someone trying to kick the smoking habit, the new information may be that a cigarette tastes bad. Your brain begins to think that the cigarette tastes bad, and so it does. For someone trying to achieve a goal, that new information may be visualization of achieving the goal — whether it’s overcoming anxiety, depression, fear, insomnia or low self-esteem. “The brain starts to say, we’re going to make this happen,” Wentworth said.
Ways you can create less stress By LESLI DULLUM-TUTTERROW Contributor
I
f you have breath and a pulse, you have some stress. The trick is not shooting for a stress-free life, but rather learning how to recognize your signs and symptoms of stress, specifically “distress” and then learn how to effectively manage them. Stress is an inescapable part of life. In fact, some stress is good for us. Eustress is the name given to the type of stress that reminds us we are alive. It is the short term type of stress we experience from stretching out of our comfort zone, like jumping out of an airplane, for example. The kind of stress that more often gets our attention is the distress that produces physical symptoms such as headache,
stomach issues, muscle tension and ultimately contributes to physical, mental and emotional disease and dysfunction. This is especially problematic when stress occurs over time as when you are struggling with marital problems or work issues that are not getting resolved. So, if stress is going to be with us, and we can’t fully “get rid of it” then what can we do? The answer is plenty. First, spend some time identifying what people, places, situations and events serve as stress triggers for you. Keep in mind a stress trigger is anything that elicits a physical, emotional and mental stress response. That may play out in anything from tight muscles, short rapid breathing, or rapid heart pounding to
name a few physiological signs. Emotional and mental clues may be irritability, memory loss, brain fog and fatigue. Chronic distress is nothing to ignore. So the best “defense” is a good offense. After you identify your stress triggers, create a Stress Management Plan (SMP), so that you are no longer a passive bystander to the onslaught of stressors that plague you. Remember, your health and wellbeing are at stake. Here is the foundation for an effective SMP: First, make a list of activities that you can do (or have done) that serve to rejuvenate or reenergize you. You might choose things like, have quiet time, a cup of tea, knit, or hit a baseball
Here’s something else you might not know: Hypnosis works, but only if you’re open to it. A hypnotherapist “cannot make someone do anything that goes against their will,” Wentworth said. (That goes for those hypnosis shows you might see in Vegas or on TV. They’re real, she said.) “Everyone is hypnotizable. The point is, you want to make the change.” People who seek hypnotherapy before or after medical-related procedures are particularly open to it. Hypnotherapy has proven effective for people who are allergic to anesthesia. And, according to the American Psychological Association, a 2002 study that compared intravenous conscious sedation with hypnotic sedation during radiology treatment found that the cost of hypnotic sedation was half as expensive as the standard sedation procedure. Wentworth attended California State University, East Bay, and is a certified clinical hypnotherapist. She worked at School for the Deaf in Fremont, California, for 25 years, and moved 10 years ago to Poulsbo where she specializes in cancer support hypnotherapy. Her office is at Liberty Bay Marina, but she is in the process of moving her office to Bainbridge Island. Rates vary, depending on number of sessions,
or a golf ball. The only criteria is that it is an activity that feels stress-relieving for you. Take your list, and divide it into activities that take less than five minutes, and activities that take longer than five minutes. I call this “Over 5/Under 5.” From here, plug in three “Under 5” activities into your daily schedule. Remember each one takes less than five minutes. For example, you can choose deep breathing which you can do sitting at your desk, or at the end of your lunch break. Other ideas for under fives are smelling essential oils, doing a few stretches, or calling a friend. Now, choose one to two activities per week that take longer than five minutes and add those in your schedule. Your “Over 5s” may include things such as get a massage, or a yoga class. Ideally, you’ll want to work your way up to three or more “Over 5s” per week.
but generally the first session is $185 for up to three hours. Subsequent sessions, $85; a session can last up to an hour and a half. She also teaches a sixweek hypnobirthing class. “Some of the topics we cover are releasing emotional fears, releasing limiting thoughts, birth preferences, birth plan, relaxation scripts, bonding exercises and much more,” she said. “My goal is to educate parents to understand that giving birth is not something to be feared. I teach them a relaxing, stress-free method of birthing based on the belief that babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of peace, joy and calmness. We also learn nutrition, relaxation, and self-hypnosis so the mother can experience the joy of birthing her baby in a comfortable, and often, pain-free manner.” She offers classes in selfhypnosis, as well. For those who feel they have not discovered their full potential, or who have lost their confidence, or who have attempted and failed at a goal, self-hypnosis can be liberating. “It’s about empowerment — and being able to move on,” Wentworth said. For more contact Wentworth at 360-621-8108, or go to HypnotherapyFor YourHealth.com.
The key is to identify the right activities or things that work for you, and then to schedule them. Treat each “Over5/Under5” activity as if it were an important meeting with your boss to help you follow through. One of the greatest things you can do for your health and wellbeing is to effectively manage your stress. When you create your own SMP, you will be well on your way to stressing less and enjoying life more. Don’t wait. Make your list of stress-reducing activities today. Then introduce one or two of your “Under 5s” into your day, and watch your stress melt away. — Lesli Dullum-Tutterrow is a certified counselor, health and wellness coach and consultant, licensed massage practitioner, and president of Optimal Wellness in Silverdale.

Peninsula mom finds relief with virtual urgent care An online visit is appropriate for many issues, medical professionals say
H
ave you ever gotten sick at a really inconvenient time? Well, that’s exactly what happened to Kristen Tayet, a Peninsula resident who had a great experience with Franciscan Virtual Urgent Care — a new way to access medical care 24/7 from the comfort of home. Tayet was home on a Friday caring for her two young children. Her husband was out of town. Then, she started to feel under the weather. “I had — how can I say this delicately? — a stomach bug,” she said. “By
Sunday it had gotten much worse. I started worrying I was losing nutrients and might become too weak to care for my kids.” Tayet started making plans to visit her local urgent-care clinic, but remembered an advertisement she had seen for Franciscan Virtual Urgent Care. “I really couldn’t imagine getting dressed, getting the kids dressed and going out,” she said. “At $35 for the virtual visit, I figured, ‘What have I got to lose?’” Tayet visited FranciscanCareNow.org, answered a few simple questions and a nurse practitioner called her back within a half an hour. “I described my symptoms and got some information about self-care that ended up being very helpful,” Tayet said. “I also didn’t feel like I was in a public space where I might
be refunded at the provider’s discretion. A virtual visit is appropriate for many issues, including the assessment of cuts, burns and strains/sprains; treating urinary tract, sinus or yeast infections; and consulting on fevers, headaches, pink eye, rashes and sore throats. “Virtual Urgent Care is really great for patients who are busy, who feel like they can’t leave the house, or who don’t live within easy reach of medical care,” Diamond added. “It’s helping us provide top Kristen Tayet used the Franciscan Virtual Urgent Care to help online when she became sick quality and timely service to patients in our commurecently because she didn’t want to leave home while feeling ill.

Harrison Bainbridge: ‘A new way of delivering care’ By BRIAN KELLY
bkelly@soundpublishing.com
F
or its new center on Bainbridge, Harrison Medical Center has done away with one of the most disheartening aspects of a visit to the doctor’s: the waiting room. Harrison Medical Center opened its new two-story, 17,800-square-foot medical building on Bainbridge last month. The $11 million facility offers around-theclock urgent care, plus primary care, specialty care, expanded imaging and lab services and other outpatient services. Mei-lin Gonzales of Harrison’s Bainbridge facility said the new location has been a long time coming. Gonzales, who grew up on Bainbridge, said Harrison has been thinking about an expansion to the island for a decade or so. “We’ve needed access to health care for a long, long time,” she said. The Bainbridge facility will have a 24/7 staff that totals approximately 50 employees, and Harrison expects to see roughly 10,000 urgent care patients and 5,000 primary care visitors in its first year. “That’s our projection based on the other
(Harrison) locations and the community,” Gonzales said. The projection was made based on the nonprofit medical center’s other locations; Poulsbo, Silverdale, Bremerton, Port Orchard, Belfair and Forks. From outside in, the Harrison Bainbridge boasts the latest in construction and design. Built by Tim Ryan Construction, it was designed by Coates Design Architects. “This is such an important project and contribution to the community, so I’m super excited to be involved with it,” architect Matthew Coates said. He said the location, at 8804 Madison Ave. North, was a great choice not only for its visibility next to Highway 305, but its location near the Bainbridge Island Fire Department’s Station 21, which is used for medivac flights. “Harrison was looking for a site, and this one is just so perfect because it’s very strategically located, with its adjacency to the helipad and access to the highway,” Coates said. The outside of the building mimics its fir-tree setting, with vertical wood planks of varying depths and widths. “When I first came to the
Architect Matthew Coates at Harrison Bainbridge. Brian Kelly photo site and I saw all of these beautiful trees in the background, I sort of wanted the building to echo that in the background,” he said. Wood elements highlight the exterior of the building, and the Accoya timber, a brand that is sustainably grown and harvested, is unique and more often found in European construction projects. “It’s actually a different type of preserved wood. Most pressure-treated wood, for example, uses heavy metals. So it’s really toxic. It’s actually not very healthy for people or the environment,” Coates said. Accoya wood is pressure treated in a process that Coates likened to pickling.
“Because of the way it’s preserved, it will last a long time with low maintenance,” he noted. New concepts continue on the inside of Harrison Bainbridge. Gone is the usual expansive waiting room. Instead, think “pause” and “pods.” After a quick stop at the front reception area, visitors will make their way further into the building to a “pause” area that will be right outside their room. “So whether you’re here for urgent care, or clinic, or lab or imaging, you check in right here,” Gonzales said of the front reception area. “And as soon as you’re checked in — which is a fairly quick process —
they will take you or send you to a specific pause area. “It’s a new way of delivering healthcare where patients and visitors.” Coates said the idea is to create a calming, peaceful environment. Materials that are reminiscent of nature and of natural materials were incorporated into the construction. “Usually when people are coming here, they are not feeling well, for one reason or another,” Coates said, adding that the entryway and pause areas will ease the transition into the rest of a visitor’s medical care. “It’s intended to be a comforting experience.” As a patient moves back to be seen for urgent care, for example, they approach the urgent care “pod,” where medical providers share a large central hub area filled with computers and equipment that is surrounded by exam rooms for patients. Patients enter through the pause areas, then into their exam room, while practitioners access the patient’s room through the central core area, the hub. “What we would traditionally call a waiting area is a pause area, and they call it that because their care started back there,
where they registered and checked in, and then they are going to pause for a short amount of time here before being roomed,” Gonzales explained. “Each (patient) room is connected to the hub, and all of the care providers are working from within the hub,” she said. “It increases the level of care and supports a team approach.” Urgent care will handle everything from broken bones to coughs and colds, while specialty physicians at Harrison Bainbridge will offer services ranging from cardiology to gastroenterology, orthopedics, general surgery and urology. Specialty care is available on the second floor. There are a total of 13 clinic rooms; six for specialty care and seven for primary care. Coates said he was pleased with the project and the partnership between Harrison, which is affiliated with CHI Franciscan Health, the construction team and the designers. “My passion is really doing projects that benefit the community. And this is clearly another one that really is going to help the community and I think really raise the quality of life here,” he said.

Boaters sail to Poulsbo for weekend party
The Boat Guy hosts another nautical party in Poulsbo
WINTER RENDEZVOUS Feb. 6-8. All events take place downtown Poulsbo
BY RICHARD D. OXLEY Kitsap Week
I
n a historically ironic twist, people from far and wide will sail to the shores of Poulsbo — a Norwegian community — and raid the town of its glögg, herring and more. The Winter Rendezvous — spearheaded by hydroplane racer Chip Hanauer — will take over downtown Poulsbo Feb. 6-8 for its second year in a row. The rendezvous encourages recreational boaters to sail the Puget Sound’s winter waters, when boats usually are more absent, and converge on one location for a weekend party. “Winter Rendezvous is a party in February,” said Tammy Mattson, owner of the Hare and Hound Pub and a co-organizer of the event. “Chip Hanauer brings all of his friends to town and we throw a party for everybody.” Last year’s rendezvous, the first, was a success. Hundreds of boaters — and non-boaters — merged in Poulsbo, toured
Glögg fest: At seven locations throughout downtown (different locations than the poker run) with free glögg, Feb. 7, 2-4 p.m. Vote on your favorite glögg. Pickled herring expo: At the Marina Market, Feb. 7 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. A tour through the wide world of pickled herring. Poker run: At seven locations throughout downtown on Feb. 7 (different locations than the poker run). Whiskey tasting: At Hare and Hounds, Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. $35. For ages 21 and older. Libation station: At the Sons of Norway, Feb. 7, beginning at noon. $20 in advance, $23 at the door. Price includes 10 tastings and souvenir glass. A beer, wine and spirits festival with 19 local breweries, wineries, cider houses and distilleries. Including live music and reentry privileges. For ages 21 and older. Tickets online at www.poulsbochamber.com. Live Music: Feb. 7, 7 p.m. at the Sons of Norway. After the festival’s various awards are announced, Soul Siren will perform modern hits and blues/R&B to dance into the night. the town and took in some art, local brews, music, and morel, and enjoyed some nautical camaraderie. The second Winter Rendezvous in Poulsbo is a new and improved version. All the same communal boating spirit is included. And as with last year’s event, there will be a glögg fest, a poker run and a pickled herring expo. And it is all hosted by Chip Hanauer of hydroplane fame, today known as “The Boat Guy.” The poker run works by visiting different locations throughout downtown, and picking up a playing card. Once enough cards are collected, participants can turn them into the poker station at the Sons of Norway. The best, and worst, hands will win a

prize. The glögg fest operates similarly. Different downtown locations will put forth their best glögg. Participants vote on their most favored tastes. A voter will win a prize at the end. And what would an event in a Norwegian town be without a pickled
herring expo? The Marina Market will host a herring tasting, boasting an array of pickled varieties. This year’s event also has a few added attractions. “There are events that are not specific to boaters, so everyone can come,” Mattson said. “There are boater specials like moor-
age specials, but this is for everybody.” The rendezvous is timed to coincide with the monthly art walk downtown on Saturday; an evening when Front Street’s many galleries stay open late and offer refreshments and entertainment. Hare and Hound is hosting a whiskey tasting for lovers of the juice of the barley. Then there is the Libation Station; a festival of beer, wine and spirits. And if the second rendezvous is anything like the inaugural, a horde of
Vikings are likely to show up, as are a bevy of shenanigans, and horned helmets will be the fashion of the day. Moorage can be found at the Port of Poulsbo’s marina, though, slips fill up fast. The port is offering a two-for-one deal; buy one night, get the second free. That deal can be purchased on www.brownpapertickets.com. “There’s nothing else going on in February, at least nothing else that’s so fun. So come down,” Mattson said.

BAinBRiDgE iSLAnD REViEW Island seeks central park: Bainbridge Island voters will be asked during the Feb. 10 special election to approve a 20-year bond sale that would pay for the purchase of the Sakai property, 22.87 acres of largely undeveloped land that sits between Madison Avenue and Highway 305. “It’s all about creating a central recreational open space that’s in the middle of Winslow,” said Bruce Weiland, co-chairman of People for Parks, the pro-park campaign. “It’s the island’s heart and center.” Weiland said although the Bainbridge parks district has parks across the island, there isn’t much in the Winslow area itself, where most of Bainbridge’s population calls home. If the ballot measure is approved by voters, the Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District will issue $5.9 million in bonds to pay for the Sakai property. The measure must get 60 percent approval from voters, and the turnout must be 40 percent of the 2014 General Election or more (which means at least 4,734 voters must cast ballots for the election to be validated) to pass. — BainbridgeReview.com
BREMERTOn PATRiOT Bonsai enthusiasts meet in Bremerton: Mark Stephens, 56, sits before
a juniper bonsai tree, or “shimpaku.” It’s jagged and unkempt, the result of a season spent shaded by a wisteria plant. He runs his fingers along the branches, feeling for dieback, clipping away the dead branches. Stephens is a member of the Evergreen Bonsai Club. They met Jan. 16 at Crossroads Neighborhood Church in Bremerton. About 25 members showed up to hear a lecture about repotting bonsai trees by John Conn, a local expert. Everyone is sitting side by side listening to Conn. Everyone except for Stephens, who’s in the back dabbling. Make no mistake, Stephens is listening. He laughs the loudest and makes the most comments. Stephens first became interested in bonsai as a kid after seeing an ad in the back of a comic book. He compares bonsai to a cartoon from the comic strip “For Better or Worse.” “In one of the cartoon strips he went into a hobby shop and told the guy ‘I want a new hobby, I thought I’d get into trains’ and the guy said ‘My dear sir, model trains aren’t a hobby, they’re a way of life,’” Stephens said. “And that’s what I look like with bonsai too.” Using a tool called an angle cutter, Stephens cuts away the base of a large branch. Later, he’ll peel away the surrounding bark. The idea is to make the branch appear dead, similar to a wild bonsai. The effect is called a “jin.” Adapting to the tree’s growth and changes in
weather make bonsai an intricate and never-ending combination of art and horticulture. “The only finished bonsai is a dead bonsai,” Conn said. “They’re always growing, they’re always changing. You’re always re-sculpting them, you’re always reworking them.” Merrill Evans, 73, of Bremerton, has a juniper that hints at what’s capable in bonsai. Aluminum wire spirals around thin branches, curving them down and then up with patches of green raised toward the sun. He’s grown his tree around a piece of driftwood, giving it a half-dead appearance. It’s called a Phoenix graft. If done right, it’ll be hard to tell where the living tree begins and the deadwood ends. His tree pulls this off, as one new member was surprised to learn his tree was both living and dead. “Some trees you put that wire on and it cuts in in six months,” Evans said. Stephens admires Evans’ tree. “You can see there’s wire here on this branch but they’ll wire all the way into these fans here and wire the fans of the juniper out here,” Stephens said. “The master’s will tell you, that’s what they want to see.” The Evergreen Bonsai Club meets again Feb. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at Crossroads Neighborhood Church 7555 Old Military Road NE in Bremerton where there will be a bonsai garage sale. For more information call 360626-1264. — BremertonPatriot.com
CEnTRAL KiTSAP REPORTER McKay pleads guilty: The driver of a car that crashed Jan. 11 on Seabeck-Holly Road NW, killing three teenage passengers, pleaded guilty on Jan. 22 to three counts of vehicular homicide. Marcus Allen McKay, 17, of Bremerton, will remain in the juvenile court system and will not be charged as an adult. McKay gave a statement to law enforcement admitting he had been traveling 75 mph in a 45 mph zone. Roadway evidence and damage to the vehicle also suggested a high-speed collision occurred. McKay also admitted that he smoked marijuana around 2 a.m. that morning at a party. The documents state that on Jan. 11 around 3:16 a.m. McKay lost control of the See AROUNDKITSAP, Page 19

More than 60 people participated in the center’s annual celebration of Martin Luther King Jr’s life and legacy with a vigil outside the main gate at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor. Under the theme “Building
the World House,” the day focused on King’s commitment to nonviolence and his opposition to war and nuclear weapons. Some participants, dressed in monk’s robes, carried a coffin containing a globe representing Earth. People walked up to the
casket and placed flowers on it, and then another robed participant recited a eulogy, “Mourning the Death of the Earth after Nuclear Annihilation.” A funeral dirge completed the ceremony. When the ceremony was finished, participants carried the casket onto the roadway,
Tommy C’s is moving: Tommy C’s Sports Bar & Grill owner Tommy Cash said Jan. 19 that his establishment, as well as Sk8Town and another tenant at 1501 Piperberry Way, were told they must vacate the premise by Feb. 28. Cash said that date reflects the latest timeline the building’s owner, First Citizens Bank & Trust Company, provided in a letter. He said he first learned First Citizens Bank & Trust Company, which is based in Raleigh, N.C., wanted tenants to vacate the building in a Dec. 23 letter. “They drew a line in the sand and told everyone to

vacate the property,” Cash said. “I think they’ve made up their mind.” Cash and Mark Baker, who owns Sk8Town, were surprised by the development. Cash’s predicament began when he said he was notified May 30 that the previous owner, P&H Properties, had not paid the mortgage on the building for eight months. Cash said he and his wife, Esther, paid rent on time each month since they opened in the 5,350-square foot space in early 2011. Baker said he had a strong relationship with P&H Properties, which he said kept his rent affordable to make Sk8Town fiscally viable. That is part of the reason why Baker, unlike Cash, does not plan to relocate his business. Helen Kestle, owner of Fab U Look Hair Salon and Skin Care, said she also received a letter in December from First Citizens Bank & Trust Company. Cash said his attempts to renegotiate his lease were rebuffed. Cash would prefer to remain in South Kitsap, but also will examine potential locations in Bremerton, Gig Harbor and Silverdale. — PortOrchardIndependent.com
