Fund almost halfway to year’s goal POULSBO — A week of individual donations totalling $2,750 boosted the Poulsbo Lions Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund total to $14,775 by morning Dec. 22, edging the fund to the halfway mark in this year’s fundraising goal of $30,000.

Annually, the fund helps more than 300 local households, fund manager John MacDonald, CPA, said.

MacDonald hopes the goal can be exceeded so the fund can meet more needs in the community.

POULSBO — Craig Smith has owned the Firehouse Theatre in Kingston for six years. During that time, he’s sold out some premieres and special showings, but never a regularly scheduled showing.

“We never really sell out,” Smith said.

Until, that is, he began showing “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” On Dec. 21, the Firehouse sold out its 3:30 p.m. showing of the latest “Star Wars” installment.

“I haven’t felt this relevant since I opened the place,” Smith joked.

The Firehouse also sold out its 7 p.m. showing and Clearwater Casino bought out the theater for the 10 p.m. showing on Dec. 17.

North Kitsap Fire & Rescue firefighters collected 825 pounds of donated goods for Kingston Food Bank and ShareNet. Michele Laboda / Submitted From right, Flossie Mulhair introduces Good Samaritan Award recipient Jo Ann Cratty at a meeting of the Kingston Super Seniors.

Bainbridge Island Fire Department bested North Kitsap Fire & Rescue in their “food fight,” collecting more than double the amount of food donations for local food banks.

The friendly competition between the two agencies took place for two weeks.

Bainbridge firefighters collected 1,914 pounds,

delivered to Bainbridge Island’s Helpline House.

NKF&R firefighters split their 825 pounds of donated goods between Kingston Food Bank and ShareNet. Steve Murray, retiring as NKF&R union leader following his promotion to battalion chief, organized his department’s participation in the challenge.

“ O u r friends at Bainbridge did what they needed to win.

And while we would rather be the ones claiming the victory, it’s important to note that the real winners are the local food banks who will have 2,739 pounds additional stock to distribute this season.”

Murray added with a smile, “You just can’t feel bad about that.”

This was the first year for the “food fight.”

Representatives of the two agencies will meet in the near future to exchange a small perpetual trophy, recognizing the contest winners each year.

Should I use permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup, or dermapigmentation, involves tattooing a pigment in the outer layer of skin to enhance natural facial features or correct some skin imperfections.

Permanent makeup makes it possible to redraw sparse eyebrows or highlight the contour of the eyes. It can also be used to draw the outline of the lips or fill them in with color. Dermapigmentation is also used to create natural looking moles or to camouflage scars and skin depigmentation. Whatever the case, it is important to choose a color that matches your skin tone so that the result looks natural.

You can continue to use temporary makeup in combination with the type of cosmetic tattooing that aims to enhance natural facial features, but not with the type that replaces traditional makeup. It is also important to note that cosmetic tattooing can fade over time, at a rate that depends on your skin and the colors chosen. Some retouching may be needed after a few years. Ask your beauty salon professional for more details.

IN OUR OPINION

A Christmas gift from Congress A

mong the lumps of coal — riders attached to the omnibus spending bill that Congress passed and President Obama signed last week — were a few diamonds, including the reauthorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund that expired for the first time in its 50-year history at the end of September.

The fund provides matching grants for national and state public-lands acquisitions and development of parks and recreation programs. It is funded by royalties paid by the oil and gas industry for off-shore drilling leases.

Since its inception 50 years ago, the fund has enjoyed bipartisan support when it came up for reauthorization. But this year, following Senate passage, a bill that would have permanently authorized the program idled in the House as Republican leadership refused to even allow the bill a committee hearing.

The scramble to approve the must-pass omnibus spending bill, however, freed up the legislation. It wasn’t the permanent reauthorization sought by supporters — among them, Democratic Senators. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, Democratic Rep. Derek Kilmer, and Republican Rep. Dave Reichert — but the program will continue for at least three years and received $450 million for 2016, a boost over its 2015 funding but still half of its intended budget of $900 million.

In Washington state, the program can now distribute nearly $10 million in funding that will fill in gaps along the Pacific Crest Trail to improve safety and public access; protect working forests near Mount St. Helens; protect watershed along the Yakima River to ensure clean water for farms, fisheries and communities; acquire property to protect fisheries and water quality near Lake Quinault in the Olympic National Park; and purchase 165 acres of historic farmland at Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve on Whidbey Island.

Two projects of local interest likely to receive grants include: ■ $500,000 for the Kitsap County Parks and Recreation Department’s acquisition of 200 acres for the development of a mountain bike trail, with riding loops and skill obstacle elements, in Port Gamble. The proposed trail is located next to the 543-acre Port Gamble Shoreline Park. It would be a link in the Sound-to-Olympics regional trail and part of a system of connected multi-use trails designed to promote healthy lifestyles and provide residents of all ages and abilities with diverse outdoor recreation activities. Kitsap County will match the funds with cash and a grant from the state Wildlife and Recreation Program.

■ $322,362 toward the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s acquisition of 64 acres containing a sacred site known as Tamanowas Rock, next to Anderson Lake State Park on the Quimper Peninsula in Jefferson County. Jamestown S’Klallam will preserve the land for passive outdoor recreational uses and for Tribal ceremonial and cultural uses. This land contains mostly second-growth forest, with some patches of old growth and wetlands, and is home to numerous wildlife species, including an elk herd. The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe will match the grant.

When the Land and Water Conservation Fund is again before Congress for reauthorization, that approval should be made permanent, removing the program from what has become a process vulnerable to partisan politics and the whims of obstructionists.

Introduced by Sen. Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson in 1964, the fund has provided more than $500 million in funding in Washington alone. It has more than proved its value in protecting public lands, supporting recreational businesses and encouraging families to explore the nation’s natural heritage.

LETTERS More money for Alzheimer’s research In a historic move in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 18 Congress passed the 2016 federal government appropriations bill that includes the largest funding increase ever for Alzheimer’s disease research, bringing the total at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to nearly $1 billion per year.

Thanks to bipartisan House and Senate negotiators, the bill includes an unprecedented $350 million increase for Alzheimer’s disease research, bringing the total to $936 million. This marks more than a doubling since the Alzheimer’s Association worked with Congress to unanimously pass the National Alzheimer’s Project Act five years ago this month.

We need to give credit to our Congressional champions who ultimately made these developments happen. Thank you to Rep.

Derek Kilmer, Sen. Maria Cantwell and Sen. Patty Murray for supporting Alzheimer’s funding and voting for this bill. The Alzheimer’s Association, its advocates and supporters all deserve credit for making our political leaders aware of this important need.

World scientific leaders now recognize Alzheimer’s as a top priority for increased research that has the potential to rewrite the future. Once signed by the President, these funds will begin to be released immediately to launch new ground-breaking Alzheimer’s research.

Get to know your Poulsbo Friends of the Library T

he Poulsbo Friends of the Library is an enthusiastic group of about 60 members and volunteers dedicated to supporting Poulsbo’s library.

The Friends rely on books that the Poulsbo library no longer needs — and generous donations of books, CDs and DVDs from the community — for their book sales.

Through their “legendary” three-times-a-year book sales, as well as ongoing upstairs book-sale shelves and other fundraising efforts, the Friends are able to provide books, magazines, programs, furnishings, and artwork to enhance Poulsbo’s gem of a library and help it stretch its limited funding.

First organized in 1955 by a group of civic-minded library supporters, and incorporated in 1999 as a nonprofit organization, the Friends have worked tirelessly to ensure that Poulsbo’s local library can continue to provide a wide range of resources and programs in a comfortable and attractive environment, in spite of the vicissitudes of the national and local economy.

One major challenge came with the building of the present library building in 2001. The Friends pledged to acquire artwork for the facility and to com-

They successfully reached t h e i r goal of $60,000 to purchase decorative pieces of art that reflect the shared Norwegian and Native American heritages and natural beauty of the area, and they contributed an additional $45,000 to complete the popular downstairs community room.

Since that time, the Friends have provided more than $85,000 to buy items like a large movie screen and presentation cart for the community room, rolling carts to streamline the re-shelving of library materials, additional lighting fixtures and collection display units, beautiful outdoor seating and artwork — including the 2015 installation of a large metal sculpture, “Scandinavian Rhapsody,” created by local artist Karsten Boysen to enhance the concrete wall outside of the community meeting room.

Hunger

Continued from page A1 Fishline, respectively, ensure almost 300 children have access to food, any day of the week.

In Fishline’s Food for Thought weekend backpack program, children who may not otherwise receive enough food when not in school are provided a pack containing enough food for six meals over the weekend (plus snacks).

Children pick up their packs at school Friday afternoons during the school year.

“We started Food for Thought in 2009 in response to the school system’s needs,” Fishline executive director Mary Nader said. “Although not everyone has access to adequate nutrition, Fishline is doing its part to change that.”

Nader said between 150 to 170 children from low-income families receive meals.

“We’re now at the peak of the program. By February, we should have a full registration,” she said.

Those children who take part in the program are identified by school counselors and staff.

Nader said, “They are trained to spot those who show food insecurities and identify that child who might be vulnerable.”

Volunteers then shop for items, pack bags, and drop them off for the children.

“That keeps them sustained over the weekend,” she said.

Fishline’s program covers students in schools in Poulsbo, Keyport, and Suquamish, including Chief Kitsap Academy.

Nader said basic items in the packs stay the same, however, some items may change depending on availability.

“We like to add fresh fruit to bags if we have it,” Nader said.

Nader said that although the program continues during summer, only about one-third of students that could participate take advantage of it.

“We are increasing outreach,” Nader said. “We don’t aggressively market the program, but we look forward to (growing) …

Wherever we can, we put a focus on funding Food for Thought.”

Nader also encourages residents to consider Backpack Friends, an alter-

nate program of Food for Thought in which people may sponsor a child.

“For $100 per semester or $250 for the whole year, you can ensure that [a] child is taken care of,” she said. “It allows that person to have a more personal relationship with that child.

Although they might not ever get to meet them, they can feel like they are more connected.”

ShareNet’s Food to Grow On meets children’s food needs in Kingston.

The program started four or five years ago and, executive director Mark Ince said, “We hit our high-water mark of 100 kids in the spring of the 2014-15 school year. We expect to hit that or more this coming spring.”

Ince said the numbers increase throughout the school year; counselors and staff begin to identify students with food insecurities beginning in fall.

He said, “Those new kids or kids with no history is the reason for the ramp up.

“Really, with all schools, the staff are involved with identification — from behavior issues in the classrooms, to the front office staff who help receive and

y Feature: Hill Moving

distribute to the students.”

Not all food is packed in a backpack, Ince said.

“That’s a catch-all phrase to cover it.”

Food to Grow On packs meals in Ziplock bags, explaining it is up to the child to pack them home however they wish.

“We can’t control if the kids take their meals home for the weekends, eat them at school, or share items with their friends on the bus,” Ince said.

But the program can control how the children are taken care of.

“There used to be a lot of shame associated with receiving food,” Ince explained. “But we understand a lot of that shame has been removed in recent years. Now, some kids won’t even put their meals in their backpacks.”

When asked about the future, Ince said, “We are working on it as we speak.

It’s a cooperative effort with many different entities — Kingston Kiwanis, Kingston Kares and Kingston Rotary — but for this two-week holiday break we are serving kids in a much larger way …”

Ince said that over the two-week holiday break,

Food to Grow On is providing a giant box of takehome food for each child.

Each box will contain enough food to feed each child for a week. ShareNet and volunteers are dropping off boxes at specific drop sites — one box per child per week.

When asked about the menu, Ince said the program has certain standards. Packed meals need to be easily portable, readily available, quality sourced and something kids will actually eat.

“It’s a bigger problem than you might think,” Ince said. “We need to source something that has uniformity. There is actually a lot that goes into it.”

A bag of baby carrots, for example, can be bought in bulk and then portioned out after. However, a bulk jar of applesauce is more complicated.

“Individual items, like that individual jar of applesauce, isn’t cheap and they are rarely on sale,” he said.

Food to Grow On, unlike other national programs of its nature, provide a fresh fruit or vegetable in each pre-packed lunch as part of its standards.

“The most typical are

either carrots, apples or oranges,” he said.

But as the bags are continued to be packed each week, the price goes up.

“They are about $7 per bag,” Ince said.

“That’s per week, per 100 kids, every week of the school year … This is a very expensive program,” he said.

But, Ince added, “We never put a cap on the program. We have to hope the day never comes that we don’t have enough support, but hypothetically it could happen …”

“There is a lot of gratitude in the community from those people who receive. It really does have an impact on their lives …

When you’re on that borderline of food insecurity, or even over that line, even that amount of food makes a difference.”

Ince said the problem of hunger will always be present in our communities. “But we’re happy to have some effect on this problem,” he said.

Firehouse

“It brought me back to my youth.”

Continued from page A1 showing at the Firehouse, Smith speaks to audience, telling them a little about the movie and thanking them for coming. He’s had several customers say they’re seeing it for a second time.

At press time, “The Force Awakens” had been in theaters only five days.

Over the weekend, the latest installment of the saga had already grossed more than $248 million in North America and $529 million worldwide. The previous North American weekend record was $208.8 million, by “Jurassic World” in June 2015.

Unlike the prequels released between 1999 and 2005, “The Force Awakens” is being heralded as a critical success with an 8.8 rating on IMDB.

— Craig Smith, Firehouse Theatre

com and a 94 percent rating on RottenTomatoes. com.

The next most comparable weekend for the Firehouse was around Christmas 2009 when it played “Avatar” and “Sherlock Holmes.”

Smith thinks part of the reason for the success of “The Force Awakens” is its inclusion of beloved characters and actors from the original trilogy, like Harrison Ford/Han Solo and Carrie Fisher/ Princess Leia.

“It brought me back to my youth,” Smith said.

“There are people young and old coming to see this movie.”

One unlikely benefactor

NorthKitsapHerald.com

of the film’s success is the Village Green Community Center. Tickets at the Firehouse are $8, but for the next few Tuesday matinees, they’re asking moviegoers to donate $2 to the community center.

The center is expected to open in April.

“There’s a lot of small businesses in Kingston that are doing something over the next couple weeks (to help Village Green),” Smith said.

In comparison, the Regal Cinemas in Poulsbo charges about $14 a ticket. The theater’s manager referred all questions to Regal’s corporate office.

The Firehouse shows “The Force Awakens” at 10 a.m., 12:45 p.m., 3:30 p.m., 6:15 p.m. and 9 p.m.

To purchase tickets go to www.kingstonfirehouse.com or the box office at 11171 Highway 104, Kingston.

Two players, one heart Leukemia survivor Bobby Schmidt plays prep football for a buddy who didn’t get the chance

BY SOPHIE BONOMI

sbonomi@northkitsapherald.com

P

OULSBO — Bob and Carrie Schmidt sat with their son Bobby at Children’s Hospital in Dallas, Texas, waiting for the results of a bone marrow biopsy performed the day before.

They followed their doctor down a hallway, walked into a small office and shut the door. The walls were beige under the dimly lit fluorescent light.

The room smelled of alcohol with an unnatural cleanliness. In the middle of the room under the overhead light was a brown leather exam table. A man resembling a 6-foot, red-haired version of TV’s Doogie Houser sat slumped, hands at his sides, looking uncomfortable.

Each second of silence drafted another ping of uncertainty.

Dr. Victor Aquino looked up over his glasses, took a deep breath and said, “I’ve never found an easy way to tell parents this ...”

Bobby Schmidt was 3 years 3 months old. And he was very sick.

“It was Jan. 12, 2001 at 4:28 p.m.,” Carrie said. “It’s kind of one of those things you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing. I guess you could say I knew, I just didn’t want to admit it.”

They knew something was wrong on Christmas morning, when all Bobby wanted to do was sleep.

“What 3-year-old doesn’t want to get up to open presents?” Carrie said.

“We would call it his mystery fever,” Bob added.

“It would come off and on.

But something was not right.”

“He always complained of leg pain,” Carrie said.

“He slept as much as our newborn. I kept telling the doctors there is something wrong.”

On Jan. 12, 2001, Bobby was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

He was given 28 days to go into remission before he would receive a bone marrow transplant. (They were living in Dallas at the time.)

“There was this weird taste in my mouth … it kind of tasted metallic in a way,” Bob said. “My heart started racing, I felt like I was going to be sick. It was

just a pure panic.”

“For a few seconds, I don’t remember anything,” Carrie said. She recalled watching her son undergo a biopsy the day before.

“My heart just fell.”

She remembered walking out to the waiting room to find her son.

“There was 17- and 18-year-old kids, down to little, little kids,” she said.

“And they were all bald.

They all had dark circles under their eyes, their cheeks were sucked in.

Some of them were lively, and some, well, some you

could tell were really sick …”

“We were told, ‘If he’s going to have any type of leukemia, this is the best type,’” Bob said. “The first day we had a 50/50 shot.

For the first month we had a 75 percent shot … But things could have turned quickly.”

Over the last 14 years, Bobby, now 18, has continued to defy the odds. He’s lost his hair five times, had two collapsed veins, escaped a car crash, and watched friends fall to the disease. He attributes his

experience as not only an exercise in “command and conquer,” but the foundation for the rest of his life.

“How I thought about it was ‘command and conquer,’ ” Bobby said, “My body was trying to fight off what was invading it.

The chemo was the good guys and they were trying to fight off the bad guys. It helped me, I think.

“I’ve lost my hair five times. I was platinum blonde at first, but every time I lost my hair it would come back differently.”

But it wasn’t an easy

road to recovery for the Schmidt family, as Carrie said, “We don’t watch soap operas, we live one …”

Bobby began his chemotherapy treatments under the supervision of Dr. Aquino.

According to the Schmidts, Aquino — director of stem cell research and protocol for pediatric hematology/oncology in Dallas — encouraged an experimental program to aggressively attack Bobby’s cancer in the 28 days prior to transplant.

“It wasn’t what they would consider normal protocol,” Bob said. “It was the same meds but at different consistencies.”

Bobby had a regular chemo drip, chemo shots injected into his spinal cord, and chemo shots in both thighs. “We would call those our trifecta weekends,” Carrie said. “It was certainly cutting edge at the time, but it was a blind trial.”

Bobby had a different observation. “I was 3 years old, I was getting poked and prodded. I was mad.”

As Bobby’s rigorous chemotherapy sessions progressed, so did his loss of hair.

“I remember the first time a clump fell out,” Carrie said. “We invited our whole family over, and

Continued from page A10 we had a head-shaving party. We all shaved our heads. I wanted to shave mine but he had a fit.”

“They also put him on steroids,” Bob said. “He doubled his weight in the first month.”

Carrie added, “He gained 50 pounds. He was pale white, chubby, and bald. Surprisingly, kids never said anything. But strangers would just stare.”

Bobby looks back on some of those uncomfortable times. “How I look, how I dress, there’s no point being a follower when being a leader is better,” he said.

Bobby went into remission on his 28th day.

From the date of entering remission, Bobby underwent three more years of intense chemotherapy.

“We got very lucky,” Carrie said. “Most kids they don’t catch so early.

It’s kind of like a fog, you’re just doing what you’ve got to do.”

As Bobby continued treatments, he met Scottie, a boy his age dealing with the same illness.

“He was three or four months ahead of Bobby on his treatment schedule, but they were the same age. Anytime when Bobby was in the hospital, Scottie was in the hospital too. It just worked out that way,” Carrie said.

NorthKitsapHerald.com

North Kitsap 123.8 to 123.4 in the first meet of the season, Dec. 11.

Solid performances

by Kingston sophomore Mikka Yamane freshman Aunika Kramer bolstered the team’s effort. Yamane took first place in all four events — vault, beam, uneven bars, and floor — to finish first overall.

Kramer placed second; North Kitsap’s Cassidy Cloward finished third.

The next day, Kingston took second place and North Kitsap placed fourth in a meet hosted by Shorewood High School in Mountlake Terrace.

Yamane again took first place in all four events and first overall.

SCHEDULES

“We would get together with the kids and do a collective movie night,” she said. “We would wheel one kid in their bed into the other’s room, and just take turns …”

Although Carrie recalled Scottie coming out of remission, things took a turn in 2003. Scottie lost his battle to leukemia at age 5.

“It was really tough,” Bobby said. “We had a lot of support but no one else could really relate to what was going on. At that point our immune systems were trashed, you just can’t fight anything off.”

“That was the scary part,” Bob said. “Seeing someone three steps ahead of you fall so quickly.”

“No one had ever had anybody personally affected with leukemia,” Carrie added. “Our biggest fear about Scottie was Bobby thinking it could happen to him too. He was depressed, but he learned at a young age he didn’t have time to be whiny and self-pity. In adults, it’s too easy for them to wait or say ‘I’m not going to do treatments.’ As a kid, Bobby didn’t have that choice.”

“At that point I made up my mind,” Bobby said.

“They’re not gonna win.

I’m fighting them.”

As Bobby continued to fight hard for his life, a collision with a drunken driver almost took that away.

“I had to go to the store to pick up Bobby’s chemo,” Carrie said.

“Usually, he would always go with me, because it was an opportunity for him to get out of the house. But that day, Bobby decided to stay home and play video games with his dad … I was T-boned by a drunken driver in the driver’s side.

He broke all my ribs on the left side, my cheek, my jaw and four teeth … He was going 70 mph.”

“It took the Jaws of Life to get her out,” Bob said.

“If Bobby would have went with her, he would have died.”

Bobby said, “That was the day that I can say video games saved my life.”

As Carrie spent time recovering, Bob handled Bobby’s treatments.

Shortly after, Bob’s mother, Joan Schmidt was deemed terminally ill.

“As Bobby was having his port taken out, she was having hers put in,” Carrie said. “He tried to tell Grandma Jo to fight and if she fought hard enough she could win, but she didn’t have the kind of fight.”

Grandma Jo died just over a year later, on July 10, 2004.

As Bobby continued to get stronger and healthier,

he spent more time with family and friends. He developed a friendship with Darrion Lewis, a kid his age who lived a few houses away.

“Bobby was still going through chemo but we would have Darrion and his brother over,” Carrie said. “His mom was also really conscientious about germs. Both kids had asthma, so things like colds and cleanliness were very important to them too.

“Keep in mind, chicken pox is deadly, a cold could kill him. There were so many things he wasn’t allowed to do.”

But as Bobby continued to successfully complete his treatments, he was allowed to petition to play sports with Darry, his best friend. Things were more fun and light hearted.

“Darry was a social butterfly,” Carrie said. “Bobby was really shy, but Darry balanced him out. They were really good friends.

And somehow they always played on the same team.

“They were always at our house, and they would always have so much fun together,” she said.

Then, in 2005, half of Darry’s heart collapsed.

“We knew he had asthma, but no one knew he had a heart condition,”

Carrie said.

Darrion was placed on the list to receive a new heart, but he never received one. He died at age 8.

“He was on blood thinners” and had a brain hemorrhage, Carrie said.

“There was nothing they could do … We were going to visit him, but Bobby caught a cold. He never got a chance to say goodbye.”

Quietly Bobby said, “That’s when the bomb hit me ... That day I made a promise: I’m not playing for myself anymore,” Bobby said. “I’m playing for the both of us.”

on the back of my helmet.”

For Bobby, who said he “wants to be a football player in the NFL and an oncologist on the side,” busy Dallas Children’s Hospital is an inspiration.

“I know what these kids are going through and I want them to know I’m here to help them go through it,” he said. “We got everything else from the doctors but we didn’t have that — someone who truly understood.

“I just want to play anywhere I can and get my master’s in oncology.

But I really want to go to UW, big time, as much as I can.”

He added, “Something is coming. I just don’t know what it is. I have to change the world. I just don’t know how yet.”

The chances of Bobby’s leukemia returning are slim. And the Schmidt family is counting its blessings.

“God never gives you more than you can handle,” Carrie said. “We got through it. We’re a family ... You might not have everything you want or need, but family is all you need.”

The Vikings’ No. 4 Bobby Schmidt is now a 6-4, 220-pound senior at North Kitsap High School, where he just completed his final season as a tight end and linebacker for the Vikings.

Those that know Bobby’s story well know the significance of the number 4 on his football jersey.

“Darry’s number was 4, but that’s my number now,” he said. “I had his patch sewn into my jersey, but I kinda became a rebel in my spring football team last year. I put his number

To: Interested citizens and agencies Summary of the Proposed Applications: The City of Poulsbo is undertaking a periodic review and update of its comprehensive plan and development regulations, as required by the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA), RCW 36.70A.130(5).

The GMA sets forth that Kitsap County and its cities should review and revise, if needed,

Since the procedures are set by the requirements of RCW 36.70B “Local Project Review”, the City opted to begin the public review process of update to its Procedural Ordinance now in order to ensure compliance with the identified deadline.

The procedures identified in the ordinance are designed to promote timely and informed public participation; eliminate redundancy in the application, permit review, and appeal processes; minimize delay and expense; provides process predictability; and result in development approvals that further the City’s vision and goals as set forth in the comprehensive plan.

-Extending the review timeline from 14 days to 18 days for Type I permits. (19.40.020.B).

-Add to Type III permits, continuing the public hearing and remanding the application for additional information, analysis, revisions or materials as one of the Review Authority’s expressed options (19.40.040.F.2).

-Creating a new Section 19.50 Public Notices, where requirements for public noticing is now located.

-Including public meeting notice of Type III permits where the Planning Commission reviews the application at a public meeting and offers a recommendation to the Review Authority (19.50.030).

-Require the applicant to complete the public hearing board posting (19.50.050).

-Appeals of Hearing Examiner Type III decisions, and Type I and II Hearing Examiner appeal decisions are all now made to Kitsap County Superior Court (19.70.010.F and 19.70.020).

-New Section 19.80 establishing maximum time frames consistent with state statutes

for review by the City when an application is submitted, and maximum time frames for the applicant to provide revisions, corrections, studies or information when required by the City.

-New Section 19.90 establishing procedures after a land use permit has been issued by the City, including extensions of approval, modifications to final permit approvals, administrative modifications, and revocation of permits.

Broken gas line on Jensen Way leads to evacuation 500 homes and businesses affected

By PETE O’CAIN and RICHARD WALKER North Kitsap Herald

POULSBO — Jensen Way from Sunset Street to Iverson Street was evacuated Dec. 21 because of a ruptured natural gas line in front of Bank of America.

The gas line was reportedly ruptured by a construction crew doing work on Bank of America’s parking lot. CenCom dispatched emergency crews at 10:26 a.m. The first Cascade Natural Gas employee arrived at the scene about an hour later.

The gas leak was resolved around 12:20 p.m., according to a tweet from Poulsbo Police Chief Al Townsend.

Poulsbo Fire Department evacuated the Poulsbo Post Office and Bank of America, and recommended other residents and businesses evacuate. Emergency vehicles blocked Jensen Way in the evacuation area. A light smell of natural gas was reported throughout downtown, according to CenCom. No medical complaints were reported,

according to CenCom. Poulsbo Fire Battalion Chief Jeff Russell said the line serves approximately 500 homes and businesses.

Cascade Natural Gas technicians began restoring services around 6 p.m.

They had about 70 homes and businesses left as of 9:45 a.m. Dec. 22.

Although the leak could easily be seen and smelled, Russell said the size of the leak wasn’t out of the ordinary. “It’s what we expect to see when this happens,” Russell said. In addition to Poulsbo Fire, Poulsbo and Suquamish police went to the scene.

A natural gas leak caused an explosion at the Motel 6 in Bremerton in August.

Russell said this leak is different because the gas is dissipating into the open air, while gas from Motel 6 leak flowed into motel rooms.

“So, we’re fortunate not to be dealing with that,” Russell said.

Julie Ann Krucek of Jak’s Cafe & Espresso, near the corner of Jensen and Sunset, stayed open so peo-

ple could stay warm. But as a safety precaution, she wasn’t firing up the stove or oven. “We’re not turning anything on,” she said.

Six or seven customers sipped coffee drinks, chatted and browsed their cell phones. As a light rain fell outside, Krucek made coffee drinks available to all emergency personnel.

Mary Kay Handley was getting her nails done at

Jenny’s Nails and was evacuated mid-manicure. She

walked down the wet sidewalk in a pair of blue flip flops, with pads still stuck between her toes (she was getting a pedicure next).

She had her car parked near the leak and was told she couldn’t move it because starting it might ignite the fumes. A worker moved her car out of harm’s way about 45 minutes after she was evacuated.

Handley stayed out of the rain inside Jak’s Cafe.

State parks says, ‘Hey, you, take a hike’ Free — now, that’s a good reason to get out and usher in 2016 in the great outdoors

T

he state Parks and Recreation Commission is encouraging Washingtonians to start 2016 with a healthy hike and connect with the diverse natural resources and recreation opportunities found at our state parks.

Wait — a hike on New Year’s Day? Why not?

Many parks will provide guided hikes, with expertise provided by rangers and volunteers.

Some of the hikes will be fat-tire bike rides, snowshoe treks, as well as a 5K run. Events will take place in a diverse and dramatic range of landscapes including coastal beaches, islands, waterfalls, lowland forests, historic military batteries, geological points of interest and more.

Jan. 1, 2016 is “State Parks Free” Day. Participants will not need to display the Discover Pass on vehicles to access state parks that day. (So, get started on at least one of those New Year’s resolutions.)

“We’re very excited to once again join other state park systems across the country in the First Day Hikes program,” said Don Hoch, Washington State Parks director.

“Washington was among the first states to participate when the (program) began, and we’re pleased this year to be offering more than 25 First Day Hikes in Washington state parks. We hope folks will get their families out to join us for some healthy outdoor activity in the parks on New Year’s Day.” The First Day Hikes program is part of the America’s State Parks First Day Hikes national initiative organized by the National Association of State Park Directors.

The nationwide event

The hospital building, left, and one of the current ranger residences, middle, can Ceepdublu / Wikimedia Commons be seen in the background. first started at Blue Hills Reservation, a state park in Milton, Massachusetts, more than 25 years ago.

Since 2013, all 50 state park systems have participated in the First Day Hikes program. For more information about hikes across the country, visit www.naspd.org/initiatives-special-programs/ first-day-hikes/.

Most parks will provide refreshments, thanks to a donation from the Washington State Employees Credit Union and the Manufactured Home and Recreational Vehicle Association.

In October 2016, “a major retailer will announce that, to jumpstart the American economy, their ‘Black Friday‘ sales will begin at 8 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day. Some avid shoppers will propose their family have turkey for breakfast so they can get to the sales.”

— Jeff Tolman

Tolman

Continued from page 9 AUGUST The Democratic convention will nominate their candidate. Each speaker will blame the Republicans for every bad thing since The Original Sin. The Republicans will run ads opining that the Democratic candidate has never done a decent thing as a politician or person, and anyone who votes for him/her must love being miserable.

Political negotiating will begin, positioning the leading Republican presidential hopeful as a almost-unanimously-loved nominee and the trailing candidate as a nearly perfect Vice President-inwaiting.

SEPTEMBER The Republican convention will nominate their candidate. Each speaker (many who previously during a hard-fought campaign described the nominee in unflattering terms and pointed out he/she would make a miserable President) will compliment the nominee on their brilliance, perspective, and dedication to the American Dream, and blame the Democrats for every bad thing since The

Original Sin. Under the banner of “Let’s Get American Business Going Again,” some retailer will create a special-colored theme day (like Orange Thursday) to instigate early Christmas shopping.

The new television season will begin with mostly remakes of old shows and old stars in new series.

One out of every two phone calls at home and one out of every five TV and radio ads will be from a political party or campaign.

OCTOBER A major retailer will announce that, to jumpstart the American economy, their “Black Friday” sales will begin at 8 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day. Some avid shoppers will propose their family have turkey for breakfast so they can get to the sales.

Nearly every phone call at home and every TV and radio ad will be from a political party or campaign.

NOVEMBER Election Day will be viewed with great relief, no matter who wins. Our phones will stop ringing and the political ads will be replaced by beer ads and 30-second videos of middle-aged men and women suddenly smiling

at each other and ending up in adjacent bathtubs.

Despite our general hatred for the way the leaders of the nation are working, nearly all of the incumbents will be re-elected. The newly elected officials will tell the voters they will work with members of the other party in the nation’s best interest. At the new Congress’s orientation, the party whip will point out that any of the newly minted elected officials who want to be a committee chair in their career will vote the party line.

Every time.

On Thanksgiving, hundreds of people will give thanks we only have a Presidential elections every four years.

DECEMBER As the holiday season approaches, many people will take a moment to count their blessings.

Their family and friends.

Good health. A roof over their heads and food on their stomachs.

And that our phones are wonderfully silent.

Celebrate 27th annual Mochi Tsuki on Jan. 3 BAINBRIDGE ISLAND — For over a millennium, making and eating the sweet rice treat mochi (moe-chee) has been a celebrated New Year’s tradition in Japan, with generations of families and communities coming together to wish good health and prosperity for the new year.

The Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community’s mochi tsuki (moe-chee-zu-key) event is one of the nation’s longest-running. And the community invites the general public to the 27th annual community celebration, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Jan. 3 at IslandWood, 4450 Blakely Ave. NE. IslandWood staff and volunteers will offer tours of the award-winning School in the Woods.

The event is free and donations for mochi are welcome. Parking is limited at the site and nearby Blakley Elementary School; carpooling is encouraged.

Highlights include performances from the acclaimed Seattle taiko drum group Kokon Taiko; to comply with fire safety laws, each of the three taiko drum performances will be limited to 175 seats.

some of them with a sweet bean paste called ahn.

While arguably mochi is best eaten hot and fresh, many enjoy roasting it in the oven, then dipping the

puffy and crisp hot mochi cakes into a combination of sugar and soy sauce.

For future enjoyment, mochi can be frozen in airtight bags.

Community will prepare some batches of mochi in the centuries-old method of first steaming the sweet rice over an open fire, then placing the cooked rice into a warm stone or concrete bowl called an usu. Using large wooden mallets, two people rhythmically pound the rice in the usu, while with bare hands a third person swiftly moves the rice between each mallet crash.

After several minutes of vigorous pounding, the rice becomes a thick, smooth dough — mochi.

From manual pounding in the usu or special

Ross Erric, an online reader of the North Kitsap Herald, submitted these images of a painting he owns, which was painted by Northwest artist DeWane Breckenridge (1929-1977). Breckenridge was the subject of a story in the Herald in 2014 after a fragment of a circa 1950s painting he did was found during demolition of the old Voodiez restaurant on Front Street in downtown Poulsbo.

“You did an article on March 11, 2014 about a partial painting discovered,” Erric emailed. “I found a full painting by the same artist. Do you think the Poulsbo Historical Museum would be interested in obtaining it?

I am willing to donate it to them if they will cover the postage.”

Judy Driscoll of the Poulsbo Historical Society responded: “If I remember right, [Breckenridge] was an itinerant artist, not a local one, and since the painting offered isn’t a local scene, we may pass on it. We try to stick to local artists, local subjects, etc. But I’ll see what the rest of the accessions committee thinks.” No word yet as of this writing.
