Huddy, Evans and Dubos early winners in 2015 elections STAFF REPORT
BREMERTON — Preliminary election results grant Richard Huddy the District 6 position with the Bremerton City Council, with 71.1 percent of the vote. “I really want to give our neighborhood a clear voice
in the city,” Huddy said in an earlier interview. “I think that’s very important.” Huddy’s lived in Bremerton since 1999 when he and his wife, Sabrina, bought a fixer-upper on North Montgomery Avenue. He’s the former executive director of CAPRI Heart & Lung Institute.
His interest in running for City Council was first piqued last year when incumbent Roy Runyon was the only councilman not to sign a letter opposing a proposed casino on Callow Avenue. Huddy thinks a united City Council can speed Bremerton’s growth.
“If you ask me the No. 1 reason why I am running for City Council, it’s because I believe in the potential of Bremerton and I want to accelerate the revitalization of our city and I want to do that through a collaborative approach,” Huddy said. Huddy’s also focused on
economic development. He wants to fill the empty stores on Wheaton Way, Kitsap Way and Callow Avenue. He wants the city to shift focus from expenses to revenue. “The place is gonna blossom. It’s on the verge of SEE ELECTIONS, A13
USS Albuquerque arrives in Bremerton for inactivation BY PETTY OFFICER 2ND CLASS AMANDA GRAY
BREMERTON — The Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarine USS Albuquerque (SSN 706) arrived at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility to commence the inactivation and decommissioning process, Oct. 28. An inactivation ceremony was held in San Diego to honor the boat’s 32 years of service on Oct. 16. During the ship’s life, Albuquerque deployed 19 times, visited over 20 countries and steamed over 500,000 miles. “The ship’s success is directly attributable to a cohesive crew that, through the years, has maintained a ‘can-do’ attitude,” said Cmdr. Don Tenney, Albuquerque’s commanding officer. “I am exceptionally proud of the crew who just completed a six-month WESTPAC deployment and immediately turned to the business of moving the ship and their families to Bremerton, and started preparing the ship for decommissioning.” Albuquerque completed its final six-month deployment Aug. 21, which was followed by a change of command where Tenney relieved Cmdr. Trent Hesslink. “USS Albuquerque has a rich history that includes highly successful missions

Albuquerque is
scheduled to decommission in 2016. “We view the decommissioning as our next mission and are determined to execute it with the precision and thoroughness that are the hallmarks of the submarine force,” Tenney said. “We understand that our success here is critical, so we can make our highly trained sailors available to newer ships
in the fleet.” Albuquerque was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Albuquerque, New Mexico. The keel was laid by the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics in Groton, Connecticut, Dec. 27, 1979. The boat was launched March 13, 1982, and commissioned May 21, 1983.
Satanists rile up crowd at Bremerton football game BY CHRIS TUCKER CTUCKER@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
BREMERTON — As a flock of black-robed Seattle Satanists walked toward Bremerton Memorial Stadium at the football game Oct. 29, hordes of students pressed up against a chain link fence to watch them, cell phones in hand.
Some of the students praised Jesus aloud. A few yelled their support for the dark, solemn Satanists. The fence — along with a phalanx of Bremerton Police officers — kept the two groups about 20 feet from one another. On the student side of the fence, one boy in the crowd waved a white cross in the night sky.
On the other side was Lilith Starr, chapter head for the Satanic Temple of Seattle, along with around 17 fellow Satanists. One woman, who went by the name “Dice,” had brown horns attached to her head. Black hoods shrouded the faces of men in the SEE SATANISTS, A13
