PORT ORCHARD — Kitsap County Commissioner Ed Wolfe, who has represented District 3 since 2014, announced Dec. 19 that he plans to run for reelection.

Wolfe ran in 2014 on a platform promising to “Bring Balance Back” to Kitsap County policy-making and leadership.

“I pledged to Ed Wolfe provide a balance to our County Commission and am satisfied that we’ve accomplished that,” Wolfe said in an announcement of his re-election bid.

“I look forward to continue collaborating with my colleagues across the aisle for the betterment of Kitsap County residents.”

Prior to his election as a commissioner, Wolfe served as U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state with the rank of ambassador under President Reagan and President George H.W. Bush.

Wolfe is a graduate of George Mason University School of Law and West Virginia University, completed the Harvard University Kennedy School of Government Management Program, and served in the U.S. Army. He founded Wolfe Law Offices here in 1997, and served as president of the Kitsap Bar Association and as judge pro tem in Kitsap County District Court and the municipal courts of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton and Gig Harbor.

A Republican, Wolfe was elected to the County Commission in November 2014, defeating incum-

PORT ORCHARD — “There is an unacceptable level of tardiness at South Kitsap High,” said Amy Miller, public information officer for the South Kitsap School District. “The tardy rate is especially high on latestart Wednesday — and the issue is concerning.”

To curb the amount of disruption to class time, the high school decided to institute a new attendance policy Dec. 11 that has late students checking in at electronic kiosks outside of the classroom so teachers don’t have to pause their learning opportunities to change an absence to a tardy.

“When our teachers mark a student absent and that student comes to class late, the teacher is busy with instruction and often does not have time to record the absence to a tardy,” Miller said. “That results in absence calls home to our families that do not accurately reflect attendance.

“As you can imagine, the process is disruptive to learning,” Miller said of the interruptions. “The new practice is for students to go check in at the attendance office using one of two kiosks. They receive a time-stamped pass that they return to their teacher and enter the class with as little disruption as possible.”

South Kitsap High School Principal Diane Fox said the kiosk was actually installed in spring 2014, and “students were always required to check in to the kiosk before the first period each day.”

“We have very high rates of tardies on Wednesday before the first class of the day … approximately 200 students,” Fox said. “This has been

Port Orchard community activist, historian Bryan Petro passes

Kitsap News Group

PORT ORCHARD — Bryan Petro, a South Kitsap real estate broker, community activist and Port Orchard’s unofficial historian, died Thursday, Dec. 14, at his home of an apparent heart attack.

Friends said it was believed Petro, 59, passed away in his sleep that night after earlier feeling unwell.

Robert McGee, owner of Whiskey Gulch CoffeePub in Port Orchard and Petro’s friend, wrote in a Dec. 18 Facebook post that “Bryan Petro was an institution

Bryan Petro’s friend recalls ‘a gentle soul’

By BOB SMITH

Kitsap News Group

PORT ORCHARD — However you want to define Bryan Petro, he never was a shy, retiring kind of guy.

Petro, who died Dec. 14 of an apparent heart attack, left a legacy of civic involvement in South Kitsap and Port Orchard, punctuated by passion and enthusiasm. For his grieving friends, Petro was anything but boring company.

Don Manning of Port Orchard, a fellow real estate agent who knew Petro for at least 30 years, said his friend with the unmistakable personality will be missed.

“Bryan was a hell of a guy and I’m going to miss him,” he said. “He had that unmistakable laugh, I guess you could call it the Petro guffaw.”

The pair became friends during their early days working in the auto sales business.

They also shared a love of the arts. Petro had an interest in acting and appearing on stage — he headlined a number of local stage productions years ago.

If a man was created for the stage, it was Petro.

“I wrote a script for a film short that we made in Port

Orchard a couple of years ago,” Manning recalled.

“Bryan played a bartender in the first few minutes of the thing and was having the time of his life. (Acting) was right up his alley. I’m glad I was able to do that with him.”

Not surprisingly, Manning said he and his friend shared a love of nostalgia and memorabilia. Somewhere in eastern Washington, he believes, Petro has a collection of neon signs stored away.

Some years ago, when Manning heard about an auto dealership in Bremerton that was getting rid of its neon sign, Bryan’s interest percolated.

“He said, ‘What are they going to do with it?’ I said they were going to take it down in a day or two, and it was probably going to the scrap yard.

Then Bryan replied, ‘I’ve got to have that.’”

Manning told his friend that it would take a flatbed truck and a forklift to carry the sign away. Assuming he dropped his plans, Manning was shocked to see his friend with a flatbed carrying away the sign.

“It must have weighed half a ton and was about the size of

Bryan said he was going to restore it. I suspect it’s somewhere in a warehouse in eastern Washington,” Manning said.

A shared experience one night in Pioneer Square many years ago sparked an amused laugh from Manning, who

said it demonstrated the character Petro possessed: “At that time, Pioneer Square was a place you could go to listen to all kinds of music. We ended up at Larry’s Greenfront and ended up crashing a party of some gals.

member Clancy Donlin said he worked with Petro on many civic events, but mostly remembers his friend’s deep interest in the city’s historic past.

“Bryan Petro was historic Port Orchard personified,” Donlin said. “His orations of how it used to be growing up in a sleepy Northwest town on the water echoed through so many public and private events.”

Donlin said Petro was “a

man of the theater.” He said that “his vocal flair found its way to a few City Council meetings.”

McGee said Petro’s legacy will be his dedication, positivity and devotion to the betterment of Port Orchard and South Kitsap.

“When you think of community here in Port Orchard, he’s the first name that pops up,” he said.

“Always positive, always involved and (he) loved the

The last time the friends spoke was this summer at the waterfront. Bryan, who had battled the weight scales all his life, had recently dropped some pounds.

“He had looked good. But this time, he just didn’t look healthy,” Manning said.

“He usually had those rosy cheeks like Santa Claus, but he wasn’t his upbeat self.”

Petro earlier confided that he had seen a doctor for pulmonary issues, and Manning suspects it may have been related to his passing.

“I had been out of town for two months and was on a layover in L.A.,” Manning noted.

“That’s when I got word that he’d died ,,,” The friend’s voice trailed off, caught in emotion.

He’d show up at the bond meetings singing the South Kitsap fight song.

“He was bigger than life, with an infectious laugh. He was just a positive dude who was all about the community.

I don’t think anyone else could stand out in supporting South Kitsap like he did. If there was a community event, the man was involved somehow.”

Petro had been living with his mother, who has been ill, at the time of his death.

Petro’s family, which also includes his sister Janel Johnson of Baltimore, has scheduled a summer memorial service July 7 at First Lutheran Community Church in Port Orchard.

2017 Human Rights Conference focused on learning from the past

By MICHELLE BEAHM Kitsap News Group

BREMERTON — The 27th annual Human Rights Conference in Bremerton took place Friday, Dec. 15, at the Olympic College Bremer Student Center.

“The idea of the conference and other activities of the council (of human rights) is to try and help educate the public on these kinds of issues, create avenues and forums for the public to talk about

these kinds of issues, and how to smoothly live together in a diverse community,” said Data Logan, chairman of the volunteer citizen advisory committee.

The Human Rights Council is responsible for putting the conference on every year.

Usually, the attendance ranges from 100-200 people.

“They tend to be the more active people who are interested in these kinds of things,” Logan said. “I think the ideas

are multiplied. They come to the conference, they get ideas, they go out, are heavily involved in other organizations.

“There’s lots of different organizations who work on human rights … or social justice issues (in Kitsap),” Logan added, “and certain people that walk in those circles, I think, attend the conference and work in different groups, working on different aspects of human rights they are pas-

Logan said “the real fun of the conference” was the networking that happened between workshops, where those interested in making positive social changes meet other like-minded people with the same focus.

Wolfe counted his work during the past three years helping to manage the county’s budget as a highlight of his term.

He also cited his collaboration with U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Gig Harbor, to bring a new veterans clinic to Silverdale, and his work to help move forward the Bucklin Hill Bridge project in 2016 and leading efforts to develop the Central Kitsap Community Campus.

a historical problem at SKHS. On these days, it can take up to 15 minutes to get that volume through the kiosk.”

She said the tardiness rate is “startlingly lower” on the other days of the week, with only 10-15 tardy students.

In addition, the school has started playing music over the intercom system during the last 45 seconds of each passing period as a notice to students “that time is dwindling and it is time to move on to class.”

According to the SKSD Student Rights and Responsibility handbook (goo.gl/dDfXrz), “Students with one or more unexcused absences and/or tardiness and subject to compulsory attendance … may be subject to corrective action that is reasonably calculated to modify the student’s conduct.”

Correction action can include taking “steps to reduce the student’s absences, which include, where appropriate … adjustments to the student’s school program or school or courses or assisting the parent/ guardian in obtaining supplementary services.”

The district policy goes on to state that grades will only be affected if the student misses or is late to a class for which the teacher has made participation and attendance a part of the grade.

“No form of discipline will

Fox said, “We expect our students to come to school on time and (we) are working to create that environment.

We do not expect our teachers to adjust grading rubrics for tardy students. The data is showing us that our Wednesday tardies before first class remain a significant problem, and not a new one.”

The students’ reaction to the new policy has been less than welcoming, though, because it often leaves students to spend 20 or more minutes waiting in line to check in at the kiosk instead of in-class learning, according to anecdotes shared to the “We the People of SKHS” Facebook group.

“This situation is so bad,” said SKHS junior Sarah Mastberg. “I’ve considered switching schools over it.

They are taking away from my learning and, to me, that’s not

okay.”

Parents also have expressed displeasure about the new policy.

An administrator of the Facebook group penned an open letter she intends to share with the school’s principal. The letter includes quotes from a number of people about the policy.

(Quotes are displayed as they appeared on Facebook.)

Leah, a district parent, said, “I don’t understand what this tardy policy is going to achieve. My son was in class but not in his seat so he is considered tardy. He gets sent out of the class to stand in line for 25 min and meanwhile gets to visit with friends. So now he is missing 30 min of class and will be disrupting class again by coming in late. And who’s to say they go straight to class after that … since they are already marked as being there.”

When asked about this, Miller said that if a student is in the classroom when the bell signals the start of the period, they should not be considered late.

However, Sandra, another district parent, had a similar concern: “Hello parent of SKHS student though she has only been marked tardy once

it was as she walked through the door while the bell was ringing she sat in line for 20 minutes missed out on 20 minutes of class !!! My concern is that she was there in class as the bell rang. teacher said she was tardy seems ridiculous to me.”

A student, Samantha, said she stood in line for a kiosk for 25 minutes because she was “like a minute or less late to class.”

“A tardy is a tardy,” Fox said. “If a student is only late for a minute and has to stand in line, it would be before the first period of the day and most likely on a Wednesday.”

Miller said SKHS staff is looking at quotes to install a third kiosk to reduce wait

times. Fox said there doesn’t seem to be a significant problem with the kiosks outside the late-start Wednesdays.

“This policy is counterproductive because it causes students to miss even more class time than they would have,” the administrator wrote.

“I would completely understand if the policy was revised so that if a student is more than five minutes late then they have to go get a pass from the office … I understand that it can be hard on teachers, but it takes two seconds to change from an absent to a tardy. Not 25 minutes in a line.”

IN OUR OPINION

Bryan Petro: Farewell to our civic booster

T

he Port Orchard and South Kitsap community reacted with sadness over the passing last week of civic booster, community activist and unofficial historian Bryan Petro.

As are many community legends, Petro was part-showman, bon vivant, prideful citizen and fount of knowledge about all things local.

His presence around downtown Port Orchard was known well before his arrival, thanks to a trademark, infectious belly laugh and rich grin.

Bryan Petro easily fit the role of Port Orchard’s Wizard of Oz, possessing boundless energy, enthusiasm about the city’s future and deep devotion and wonderment about its past. He was a real-estate agent by trade, but a civic promoter by nature. A visit to his real-estate office was an education all its own. Old maps and charts of Port Orchard and South Kitsap were pinned to the walls. Scrapbooks and weathered, written pages of the town’s history sat piled atop yet more hidden accounts of the region he loved and revered.

There was no mistaking where Petro stood about his beloved city and his alma mater, South Kitsap High School, Bryan left no doubt that the best way — the only way, he felt — for his town to succeed, and to help others in need, was through the power of positivity. In Bryan’s world, there was no place for negative thinking or pessimism.

He believed the only way to achieve greatness as a community was to work at it — together — in the spirit of goodwill.

The two parts of Bryan Petro — the irrepressible, endearing and boisterous man embroidered with the word “character” on him — and the civic treasure — a relentless, tireless volunteer, do-gooder and history buff — judged separately, are premature losses that we’ll feel for quite some time.

But combined, those two parts created a unique and appreciated, irreplaceable community one of a kind. Thank you for everything you gave to us, Bryan. We’re richer for the experience.

This discontent isn’t new.

Counties have been expressing concern with the passage of unfunded or underfunded mandates back to the state’s earliest days.

The problem is more pronounced these past couple years as the economy generates billions of extra dollars for the state’s coffers while still not producing enough new revenue for counties to keep up with their rising costs.

At a November legislative hearing on this topic, Lewis County officials provided the state House Local Government Committee with 19 pages of state-prescribed mandates of which the majority are paid for with local rather than state dollars.

Kitsap County officials, in the same hearing, estimated they wind up paying 82 percent of the cost of the mandates that worked out to about $6.5 million in the current budget year.

For most counties, the single largest underfunded mandate is providing a public defender or other attorney to represent the individuals the court deems to be indigent.

This typically adds up to millions of dollars in even the smaller counties.

One of the newest mandates involves ballot drop boxes.

Originally considered a convenience for voters, ballot drop boxes are now a mandated piece of voting equipment per a 2017 state law. That same law not only means more boxes in heavily populated areas, it also means putting them in every town with a post office regardless of size or number of registered voters.

This will mean a lot more boxes get put in a lot more places. But the Legislature and Gov. Jay Inslee didn’t provide counties with the money needed to install, maintain and, during elections, pay staff to clear them out.

EDITORIAL CONTINUED FROM A4

City Council told state health officials Feb. 21 that moving Harrison Medical Center from Bremerton to Silverdale would make access to medical care difficult for older and lower-income residents of their city. Many of those residents depend on transit or others to get around.

The Bremerton community helped build what is now Harrison Bremerton, and it deserves a say in its future.

Harrison Medical Center began in 1911 as City of Bremerton Hospital; Benjamin Harrison was an early investor in the hospital, and his wife Anna volunteered there to care for people stricken during the flu epidemic of 1918. It became City General Hospital that year, was gifted to a community foundation in 1942 (it was initially gifted to the city, but that was prohibited by state law), and merged in 1956 with a surplused government hospital purchased by a foundation of local residents.

When times were tough — the Depression, the war years — the community raised money to keep the hospital going. The community raised more than $600,000 for the current medical center on Cherry Avenue.

CHI Franciscan owes it to Bremerton to allow a community hospital to operate here.

Washington counties nearing boiling point with unfunded state mandates

By BOB SMITH

Kitsap News Group

PORT ORCHARD — In this era of growing needs for services in Washington state, the state Legislature has made efforts to meet the demand.

But unfortunately for the state’s 39 counties, the move to provide services to state citizens has come with some pretty onerous strings.

Increasingly, county leaders say, the help they get from the Legislature is assistance they can do without. Those programs and actions mandated by state legislators often arrive at the local level without the necessary funding to operate them.

County government officials from throughout the state have begun to cry “foul” about the practice. The Washington State Association of Counties has had enough.

County representatives who are members of the organization have gone so far as to pool their resources — a reported $400,000 — to communicate their displeasure, some say outrage, to legislators.

According to the organization, one-quarter of those funds will be used to educate the lawmakers of the practice’s inequity during the upcoming 60-day session next year. And if that isn’t sufficient, the rest of the money will be used to hire an attorney and take legal action against the state.

Kitsap County Commissioner Charlotte Garrido, who represents the county’s 2nd District, said the association’s education component is critical.

“Many legislators actually were affiliated with cities or counties before they went to

the Legislature,” Garrido said. “I think it’s important to remind them what it was like when they were in a different role.

“The educational pathway is always the first way to go.”

Josh Weiss, the county association’s legislative director and legal counsel, said wielding a big stick might be the only successful weapon at their disposal.

“It is a last resort,” Weiss told Everett Herald political reporter Jerry Cornfield (the reporter has written a column on the issue, which appears on page A4). “We want to make our case very wellknown first.”

It’s not just a state legislature thing. Governors have tacitly aided and abetted legislators, Weiss told Cornfield, by signing legislation that includes unfunded mandates.

The practice isn’t a recent thing. The act of passing the check has taken place for decades now. State Sen. Jan Angel (R-Port Orchard) has been face-to-face with the issue during her tenure at a Kitsap County Commissioner from 2000-2008.

A past president of the counties’ association, Angel said unfunded mandates are not a new irritant.

“I am totally against unfunded mandates to local and county government,” Angel said.

“This is nothing new.

When I was a county commissioner, we actually sent an invoice to the state every month with what it was costing all of our counties in the state. I believe we had contemplated bringing a lawsuit as well, so this isn’t the first go-round on these issues.”

It’s also a frustrating fact of life at the federal level, where

treated and discharged the same day.

The site of the shooting, Lions Park, is .9 mile and a 3 minute drive from Harrison Medical Center on Cherry Avenue. The site is 5.9 miles and a 14-minute drive to Harrison Medical Center on Myhre Road. Granted, an ambulance will be traveling at a higher rate of speed than a motorist, so the drive time would be less than 14 minutes.

But there will be cases where seconds count. This incident points to the importance of having an emergency room available in Kitsap’s largest and more industrialized city.

We again urge CHI Franciscan to work with the City of Bremerton to keep a community hospital here (it would provide improved access to emergency medical care for Port Orchard and South Kitsap, too). The necessity is clear: Bremerton has a permanent population of 40,000 residents, but the daytime population is likely considerably more.

There are 1,400 workers at Naval Hospital Bremerton, 2,600 at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, and a share of the 18,300 civilian and military workers at Naval Base Kitsap.

Bremerton is home to thrBremerton Mayor Patty Lent and members of the

week to file a damage claim with the state to recoup its anticipated costs. That move lays the foundation for a possible lawsuit to compel the state to ante up. Other counties may follow and this may wind up as a component of the broader legal action envisioned by the county association, Weiss said.

But Snohomish County Council members, and for that matter, elected leaders in the other 38 counties, will ultimately need to convince residents it is the right thing to engage a lawyer at this point.

It won’t be an easy hurdle. If counties sue the state, whether about drop boxes or indigent defense, it means taxpayers are suing themselves since they will be bearing the cost of both sides’ legal fight.

County leaders are “very sympathetic to that and know it makes the case harder to sell” to the public, Weiss said.

“We are not pulling the trigger yet.”

They are only loading up their legal ammunition.

Friends of Bremerton shooter say he had marital problems Suspect dead; two police officers recovering from their injuries

By NICK TWIETMEYER Kitsap News Group

BREMERTON — The man shot by Bremerton police early Dec. 17 had marital problems and was kicked out of his home prior to the shooting, neighbors and friends told Kitsap Daily News.

Yolunda Brown described Willie McCord as a family man who had fallen on hard times.

“It was an isolated incident with him and his wife, the violence that happened. It was not a regular occurrence,” Brown said. “He was a very, very, very nice man and he was good to his wife, and he was good to his children and his family … He was a mentor to some of the kids around here. He was a good person.”

Wilda Smith painted a similar picture of McCord, saying he was a man who worked hard to support his family,

but had troubles at home that recently sent him on a downward spiral, eventually leading to him sleeping in his car.

“He was a quiet man. He didn’t talk to anybody when this started happening,” Smith said. “You could see the pain in him.”

Two Bremerton police officers contacted McCord shortly before 2 a.m. Dec. 17 as he sat in his SUV in the Lions Park parking lot, suspecting him of violating a domestic violence protection order. As officers approached, according to the police department’s account, McCord opened fire with two handguns, striking both officers. The officers returned fire, killing McCord.

The officers were taken to Harrison Medical Center with non life-threatening injuries.

One officer was discharged from Harrison Medical Center, according to the police department.

Bremerton Police Chief Steve Strachan said this was not the first time McCord had had contact with police, and that he had fought with cops in the past.

“We knew that he was ramping up, that he was vio-

But Smith said, “This is not the man we knew. I feel bad because of what he did and how he did this, but I really think my friend was hurting.”

Smith said that while she grieved for the loss of her friend, she feels for the two officers injured in the shooting

as well.

“I feel bad for everybody in this situation,” she said.

“I don’t want my police to get hurt, because I got to call them when I’m getting hurt. [But] the man was not a monster.”

She said, “I think he was really distraught and had

no consideration for his own life … I think he might have wanted to hurt himself.

Honestly, why do you come out blazing? No one does that if they want to survive. He lost it, he truly lost it.”

McCord, Smith said, often acted as a role model and mentor to youth in the area.

“The young black men in this community used to look up to him,” she said, struggling to hold back tears. “This is not the way his life should have ended. He was no thug, running the streets, or selling drugs … He held down his community, he was loved by the people who knew him and he shouldn’t have died like that.”

According to Sgt. Kevin Crane of the Bremerton Police Department, no video evidence exists of the shooting due to the fact that officers are not equipped with bodycams, nor were their vehicles outfitted with recording equipment.

“One officer has over 42 years experience, 25 plus with our department. The other officer is approximately a fiveyear veteran with one year with our department,” Crane said.

“It appears, preliminarily, they did a remarkable job.”

The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office is currently leading the investigation into the shooting.

Authorities still trying to figure out what spurred couple’s death

By RICHARD WALKER Kitsap News Group

BREMERTON — Photographs on Francisco and Marie Rivera’s social media accounts show the Alaska couple always smiling, always embracing: at their wedding, hanging out with family and friends, hanging out with each other.

In one photo, posted Sept.

6, 2015, the groom and bride kiss for a wedding portrait; she is holding a bouquet of lavender and white flowers. In posts responding to that photo and others, family and friends comment about how happy the couple looks.

“It’s going to be so hard to see you move but I know he will protect you and treat you [right],” Marie’s father wrote in response to another photo of the young couple, again smiling. “Every night I prayed that you would be the [woman] you are today. … I am so proud of you Marie and I always will be.”

Today, family and friends and authorities are trying to piece together what went wrong.

“Things may not have been what they were behind closed

doors,” Bremerton Police Sgt. Aaron Elton said Dec. 18.

Francisco Rivera, a sailor aboard the USS Nimitz (CVN 68), is believed to have stabbed his wife to death in the bedroom of their home and then hanged himself in the kitchen, just days after he returned home from deployment.

The couple was home alone when the deaths occurred, Elton said.

The night before the deaths, Rivera had gone out drinking with two shipmates, Elton said. At 2:56 a.m. Dec. 13, Rivera changed his Facebook profile photo; in the photo, he’s wearing a Navy ball cap.

Authorities don’t know yet where he was when the photo was taken.

“This is the day you killed my granddaughter,” Marie Rivera’s grandmother wrote on Rivera’s Facebook page a few days later.

Kitsap News Group reached out to Marie Rivera’s father and grandmother on Dec. 18. Meanwhile, Bremerton police continue to investigate.

Among the evidence being studied: text messages and cell phone calls made on the Rivera’s phone. Rivera’s locker

and belongings aboard the Nimitz have been secured, and the command and Naval Criminal Intelligence Service are conducting investigations, Lt. Cmdr. Theresa Donnelly said.

The Bremerton Police Department is the lead investigating agency, Donnelly said.

The Kitsap County Coroner’s Office completed autopsies, but referred all questions to the Bremerton Police Department.

More about the couple from their social media accounts and information from the Navy: Marie attended A.J. Dimond High School and Alaska Military Youth Academy, then studied at Alaska Career College to become a medical assistant.

Francisco was a native of Hesperia, California, and attended West Anchorage High School. He enlisted in the Navy on Nov. 17, 2015, was assigned to the air division aboard the USS Nimitz (CVN 68), and on June 1, 2017, embarked with his ship on a six-month deployment COUPLE, SEE A7

Auditor’s office seeking committee members PORT ORCHARD — Kitsap County’s auditor’s office is seeking individuals to serve on committees to draft voters’ guide arguments against proposed ballot measures in the Bremerton and North Kitsap school districts.

Each of the four measures will be on the Feb. 13, 2018, Special Election ballot.

Each district is proposing two ballot measures and separate committees are requested for each measure. The Bremerton School District is proposing a school support

levy and a technology and capital projects levy. The North Kitsap School District is proposing an educational program and operations funding levy and a facilities and technology capital projects levy.

The Feb. 13 online voters’ guide includes official ballot titles, explanatory statements, arguments “for” and “against” each measure, as well as rebuttals, said Steve Gardner of the auditor’s office. He said committees writing arguments in favor of each measure have already been formed.

Committee members do not have to be residents of the district in order to draft arguments. Interested parties should contact the Election Division by 4:30 p.m., Dec. 22. Those interested are asked to email auditor@co.kitsap. wa.us or call 360-337-7128 if interested.

Resolutions submitted by the districts for each measure are at the Resolutions page on the Kitsap County Auditor’s website, goo.gl4WMcii.

ment, with a major emphasis on conflict management and how to navigate healthy intimate relationships,” Donnelly reported.

“Like every sailor on board, Airman Rivera had access to those classes.

“Additionally, our executive officer led an initiative to ask seven detailed questions regarding sailors’ plans for homeport, which had department head direct oversight.”

Information about Rivera’s responses to those questions were not available.

Shortly before 7 p.m. on Dec. 13, three days after the Nimitz returned home, Bremerton police were dispatched to 131 N. Marion Ave., across the street from the Bremerton School District administration building, in response to a report of two people deceased inside the home.

The deceased were identi-

fied as Francisco and Marie Rivera. Investigators believe the airman fatally stabbed his wife and then hanged himself.

He was 23, she was 22.

A neighbor, Alexis Gregory, said others who lived closest to the Rivera home heard arguing coming from the house.

But Jena Staples, a neighbor, said of the couple, “They seemed like they got along really well … Everything seemed perfectly fine.”

The Rivera family was notified on Dec. 14. The USS Nimitz is making a civilian resiliency counselor, chaplains and medical psychiatry staff available as needed to crew members.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and crew members affected during this difficult time,” Donnelly said.

to the Middle East. He was advanced in pay grade to E-3 two weeks later. He earned $1,886 a month, according to Navy pay information available online, but having passed the two-year mark in his enlistment he would have been eligible for a pay increase to $2,004 a month.

Airman Rivera had a good record, Donnelly reported.

During the Nimitz’s return home, Rivera and his fellow crew members attended classes designed to help them adjust to being home.

“Nearly a dozen staff members from Fleet and Family Service Center boarded the ship as she was making her transit to Hawaii and taught 12 classes, ranging from suicide prevention to car buying strategies to anger manage-

help more people,” Logan said.

This year’s theme was focused on learning lessons from history — historical perspective and moving forward together, said Rebecca Pirtle, from the Kitsap County Commissioner’s Office.

“The idea of capturing a moment of change in life, where you look back, where have we been, what’s happening now … ” Logan said.

“Where is that going to take us in the future? What can we do to position ourselves to be better in the future than we have in the past? And what that means, whether economically or socially.”

With historical context in mind, Clarence Moriwaki, president of the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community and founder and past president of the Bainbridge Island Japanese Exclusion Memorial Association, was asked to be this year’s keynote speaker at the conference.

“Everybody worked together, got along together,” Moriwaki said of the Bainbridge Island community prior to the 1940s. “Then history intervened.”

Moriwaki spoke of the after-effects of Pearl Harbor, and how 95 percent of the nation’s Japanese American population was victimized by Executive Order 9066, which resulted in about 122,000 men, women and children to be confined in isolated, fenced and guarded internment camps spread throughout six western states, despite lack of evidence that any of those people were involved in terrorist plots.

The Japanese community of Bainbridge Island had the dubious honor of being the first forced removal, where the military rounded up members of the community to take them to a camp.

Moriwaki spoke to the conference attendees about what the conditions were like in the camp, from the dance halls to the bathrooms without privacy; from the mess halls to people recalling their time as teens in these camps fondly because they didn’t have to work on the farm. He told attendees that some notable people who protested the racial profiling were largely ostracized by the Japanese-American community in the camps for rocking the boat.

Moriwaki framed his presentation under four banners: history, honor, healing and hope.

He spoke of the Bainbridge Island Japanese Exclusion Memorial for the middle two points. The memorial, which is set up as a walking trail with the names of the 276 individuals removed from Bainbridge Island as well as quotes and mosaics, was established to honor those who suffered from the racial profiling, as well as to move beyond the experience.

“We wanted to heal these wounds for these people who suffered through this indignity to feel like their country honored them,” Moriwaki said.

One notable feature of the wall is the large gap in the middle. Moriwaki explained the wall represents the lives of the Japanese-Americans on Bainbridge Island, and that for three-and-a-half years, there were no Japanese-Americans on Bainbridge Island.

“One-hundred-fifty of the 276 came back,” Moriwaki said. “That’s the highest percentage anywhere. More might have come back had they been able to buy property. You could not buy property if you weren’t an American citizen.

“We had a lot of 2-year-old landlords. The children were U.S. citizens, so they put the property in their names.”

Moriwaki said that if they’d been able to buy land, Bainbridge Island may have seen 200 of their displaced

neighbors return.

He also made a point in his presentation to ask if Americans had learned from the nation’s history. He then showed images from the WWII-era of anti-Japanese propaganda, alongside similar images of anti-Muslim propaganda that circulated post 9/11.

One item of note among the examples shown were “hunting licenses” for Japanese in the WWII era, including licenses given to the U.S. Marines from the federal government. This image was contrasted with an image of a 2016 “ISIS Hunting Permit” fundraiser held by Eric Greitens, the governor of Missouri, who was elected in 2016.

“This whole project (the Japanese Exclusion Memorial) and this whole story is this last word: Hope,” Moriwaki said.

“Hope is what we want people to learn from this. We want people to be inspired to live up to the ideals of our pledge, ‘Let it not happen again.’ ” Moriwaki said that he’s not hoping for fear to be totally eradicated.

“Fear is a good thing,” he said. “Fear is something we have to have. You see these wildfires in California, you see the hurricanes that hit … fear causes your adrenaline to boost, you run faster, your senses are more aware than ever to protect you.

“You can’t stay at that state forever,” he added. “Your body can’t take that kind of anxiety and stress. Today … manufactured fear is giving us that anxiety. We cannot allow manufactured fear to set public policy, to set a national discourse that pits one against another. We’re supposed to be the United States of America, not the Divided States of America.

“We should be a loving country, not a country that disperses hate and fear. That is why we have this motto, let it not happen again.”

Zollna | Life aboard the city known as the USS Nimitz

By ROBERT ZOLLNA Correspondent

BREMERTON — Blowing a week’s worth of vacation to spend it among sailors and Marines aboard a super-carrier might not be everyone’s first choice, but for me, it was an unforgettable experience.

In the late ’80s and early 2000s while serving in the U.S. Navy, I spent time aboard many Navy ships, but only a few days onboard an aircraft carrier. So, thanks to an invitation from my son-in-law to be part a Navy program called the “Tiger Cruise,” I jumped at the chance to relive a sailor’s life aboard the USS Nimitz.

It has nothing in common with Tiger Woods and Tom Cruise — or golf and acting — for that matter. The program is a way for the Marine Corps and Navy to “give back” to friends and relatives by allowing them to see what life on the seagoing city-ship is like.

It’s called a cruise, but nothing like what you might experience aboard a typical Princess Cruises sailing.

Passengers must be invited and have passed a medical exam and security screening before being allowed on a Tiger Cruise.

My adventure — and the Nimitz departure — originated in San Diego. The week-long cruise back to her homeport of Bremerton tested my ability to live alongside 3,300 sailors and 200 Marines, and better understand the Navy’s mission and how the Nimitz’s departments onboard support it.

I began my journey in San Diego knowing the Nimitz is the longest aircraft carrier in the world. But when she glided into San Diego Harbor, it was evident this was going to be a whole new adventure.

The massive ship is overwhelming in person. As big as three football fields, she is loaded with the most sophisticated equipment and weaponry available.

Onboard, I was surprised by how much freedom us “Tigers” (as we were called) were given. There were, of course, clearly marked “restricted areas,” and the flight deck and fantail were off limits to Tigers after dark.

But there was plenty we were allowed to see during daily tours of the ship. The remainder of the time, I freely roamed the ship and interacted with the crew.

As a Tiger aboard ship, I could choose how much I

wanted to interact with the Nimitz population. Some days, I tried to slam as many tours in as possible.

At other times, I would pick up a broom and help the sailors during the morning “cleaning stations” or help bring “ships stores” up from below decks to the galley. In between, I would just shoot the breeze with crew members in the galley or catch the sunset on the flight deck, followed by a movie in one of the lounges.

The hangar bay quickly became my favorite part of the ship. It’s where most of the crew would congregate after working hours to exercise or play a quick game of basketball.

It was enlightening to spend hours chatting with one crew member or another about their hometown, significant other or just about how hot it was in the Persian Gulf. It was unanimous: it’s really hot there.

Around the second day of our trip, the Navy set up an airshow for the Tigers. We watched helicopter operations, F-18 Hornet and Super Hornet touch-and-go landings first-hand as they took part in training exercises.

Later that evening, we watched a sea power show that including target practice of the carrier and her escort destroyers in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Some Tigers were standing 15 feet away from the planes that were taking off and landing. I couldn’t believe they let us get so close. You could really feel the heat and noise when they took off and landed.

Throughout the trip, I slept in an extremely small berth — its width measured in inches, not feet — alongside other sailors. That’s where the human factor disrupted my back-home sleep patterns.

Unfortunately for me, the person above and below my rack snored in harmony, which added to the unforgettable grit of the experience.

I learned that, unlike the smaller craft on which I served, the Nimitz functions much like a floating city, with everyone pitching in, whether they were sweeping the decks or giving orders. This engendered a sense of camaraderie, purpose and being part of something bigger than just yourself.

I didn’t know it back in my Navy days, but that is what I really would miss after leaving the service. Everyone has a job

to do every day, and one job is not any less vital than another job.

The Navy I served in and the Navy now, though carrying out similar missions, has many important differences. It is much more technologically based today, with computers often handling the jobs we did. It’s worth noting the hard-working crew also enjoys amenities I could only have dreamed of. Thanks to satellite technology, they can stay in contact with their families back home. For an “old salt” like myself, I was impressed with the way the Navy has integrated women onboard today.

On the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, we were out at sea, listening to a narration through the ship’s intercom about the sneak attack by the Japanese, which catapulted the United States into World War II. On Nimitz some 76 years later, there were sailors and Tigers spanning many generations bonding in a singular moment, many with tears in their eyes.

The experience brought home to me as a Tiger, a Navy veteran, a father and an American, the sacrifices that sailors past and present made aboard that ship and on others for the nation and our allies.

As the ship sailed into Puget Sound and the landmarks became increasingly familiar, I knew my short time onboard was drawing to a close. As she docked and I walked

“Good show,” indeed.

Wrestling | South Kitsap defends HammerHead Crown

By MARK KRULISH Kitsap News Group

BREMERTON — There was no better evidence of South Kitsap’s early season success on the mats than the final match in the 170pound weight class of the HammerHead invitational, which featured Wolves teammates Mason Eaglin and Nathan Marin squaring off against one another.

South Kitsap wrestlers went 4-for-4 in final matches at the Dec. 15-16 tournament.

Senior Sebastian Robles was named wrestler of the tournament for the upper weight classes, which helped the Wolves defend their HammerHead crown, finishing 14 points ahead of Sumner for first place.

If you’re a believer in omens, the first match of the finals was surely a sign of success to come for the Wolves.

In the 106-pound finals, South Kitsap freshman Xavier Eaglin was down 5-1 to Olympic’s Anjelo Pangelinan with just 10 seconds left, and needed a big move to make a comeback.

He used a technique known as the merkle, a difficult to master but powerful turn that can be used when points are desperately needed.

“I just had to hit it,” Eaglin said.

And Eaglin did, earning points for the reversal and the subsequent near-fall to take the championship 6-5.

Teammate Davonn Keyes would later follow suit in the 160 finals, earning a buzzer-beating takedown to defeat John Bittinger of Gig Harbor, 8-6.

“You have to wrestle for six full minutes, and they did,” South Kitsap head coach Chad Nass said. “That’s what ultimately won the match.”

The Olympic High School boys finished sixth overall (fifth amongst boys teams) thanks to two finals appearances from Alec Acfalle and Pangelinan. Acfalle lost to Jace Coulter of Puyallup in the 145 finals late in the match.

Glenn Moe also took home fifth place at 145 pounds after defeating Landon McClune of Eastmont.

North Kitsap received a pair of top six finishes from Robert Gomez, who defeated Jon Williams of Sumner, 5-1, to take fifth place at 126 pounds; and Nouh Hammou who knocked off Brett Womack of Eastmont by fall in 43 seconds to win fifth at 182 pounds.

The Vikings finished 23rd among the boys teams and 28th overall.

Fill your 2018 bucket list STAY & PLAY TONIGHT! with great Kitsap sites

BY MARK KRULISH Kitsap News Group

T

he New Year is fast approaching. We’ll stay up past midnight, sing “Auld Lang Syne” and make a number of resolutions, with COVER every one of STORY them ending the same way: “And this time, I mean it!”

Chalk it up to having a little extra time off during the holiday season, which give us a chance to reflect on all the ways we wish to improve our lives. But once the yuletide spirit wears off and normal life resumes, those plans quickly go out the window. We’ve all been there at one time or another, haven’t we?

Perhaps a sustainable resolution is in order, one you can work on throughout the new year. Submitted for your approval is the 2018

Kitsap Bucket List — things to see and do in the coming year. Whether you’ve been here for decades or are a newly-minted Washingtonian (such as this reporter), this is an opportunity to re-acquaint or introduce yourself to some of the best things Kitsap County has to offer.

Bainbridge Island Bloedel Reserve

Once the residence of Prentice and Virginia Bloedel, the 150-acre reserve is now open to the public. Tour the Bloedel House and a Japanese garden and guest house.

Walk along small streams and waterfalls, and in woodlands with various kinds of trees. It’s a little slice of serenity at the north end of Bainbridge Island.

North Kitsap Point No Point, Hansville

Way up on the northern tip of Kitsap County, the historic Point No Point County Park offers beauti-

ful views of Puget Sound.

Take the trail from the famous active lighthouse along the shore and through the forest, and be sure to keep an eye out for sea life. Seals, shorebirds and the occasional whale have been known to frequent the waters there.

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, stop by the brand new Peninsula Pies for a bite to eat, just to the west of the park on Hansville Road Northeast.

Kitsap State Park, Poulsbo

Located near Hood Canal, there is a rocky beach and opportunities for fishing, crabbing, clamming and bird watching, as well as open space for other recreational activities. Take in a gorgeous sunrise or sunset with the Olympic Mountains in the background.

Central Kitsap Scenic Beach, Seabeck

Located in the western part of the county, past See LIST, Page 3

List

Continued from page 2 Sunset Farm. Get out on the Hood Canal or Seabeck Bay with your jet ski, boat or paddle board, or just stick to the beachfront. The Emel House and nearby gazebo, combined with stunning views, make it a popular place for weddings.

Clear Creek Trail, Silverdale Right next to the hustle and bustle of Silverdale’s business district, the Clear Creek Trail at Silverdale Rotary Gateway Park is a rural slice of heaven amidst urban development. The trail on the west side of Silverdale Way is mostly flat, a perfect place for runners to get in a 5K run

PAGE 3

this destination is only accessible by boat, whether it be engine or human-powered. But it’s worth the trip for those who make it.

There is plenty of shoreline, along with hiking and biking trails and the famous Tillicum Village, a place known for Native American cuisine and storytelling.

Port Orchard foot ferry If you’ve done this list in order, you’re deserving of a break. So hop on the passenger-only ferry that runs between downtown Port Orchard and downtown Bremerton. It’s a unique ride, as the boat is much smaller than most of the ferries that traverse the Puget Sound and provides great views of the Sinclair Inlet and the nearby Naval Base Kitsap.

ON THE COVER...

The former torpedo warehouse at Manchester State Park is now a highly sought-after location for photo shoots, picnics and weddings.

Mark Krulish | Kitsap News Group

Clear Creek Trail at the Silverdale Rotary Gateway Park offers a little peace and quiet near the bustle of downtown Silverdale.

Mark Krulish | Kitsap News Group

without having to contend with hills, while the east side extends uphill toward Ridgetop Boulevard.

Holidays in “Little Norway”

Admiral Theater, Bremerton OK, you’re tired, it’s raining heavily, and even though you love walking in nature, you are really in need of an indoor activity.

Well, then, head on over to the Admiral Theater in downtown Bremerton for a show or some live music.

The Admiral was originally built in 1942 as a movie theater before being converted to a live entertainment venue.

Show lineups include musicians and bands, plays and stand-up comedians.

South Kitsap

Manchester State Park, Port Orchard

Known best for the large brick building that was once a torpedo warehouse and is now a popular wedding and picnic spot, Manchester State Park has great views of Bainbridge Island and Seattle and is a popular beach destination. For hikers, there are two miles of hiking trails with plenty of trees and canopy cover on those rare sunny days.

Blake Island Marine State Park, Manchester Located between Seattle and Manchester,

FATHER CHRISTMAS Saturdays 11-3 & Sundays 12-3 No-charge - accepting food donations for Fishline The Carlisle II, a passenger-only ferry between downtown Port Orchard and downtown Bremerton arrives at the Port Orchard dock.

Mark Krulish | Kitsap News Group Now it’s your turn.

Take some, or all, of these ideas and add your own to create a to-do list for next year that you will remember for a lifetime. So, what’s on your 2018 Kitsap Bucket List?

greeting, feeling pretty down, not seeming to see the fun, then I realized I needed to find the happy for myself, not expecting help from anyone.

A poem for the holiday I never thought I’d say this, but I’m glad Christmas comes only once a year.

I’m having a hard time getting to the point where I am filled with all that good cheer.

I’ve already done the shopping, buying all the things I think they’ll like, and I’ve wrapped and mailed the packages, and the tree is decorated all shiny and bright.

I don’t know if I’ll bake cookies or make the Christmas peanut butter fudge, only himself and me to eat them this year and, well, our waistlines don’t need this nudge.

And will I go to those holiday parties, bringing that ‘white elephant’ gift?

Or will I just send my regrets and stay home… nursing a cold one (if you catch my drift).

Well ...

I wrote the start of this

Now I’ve made candy and I’m baking cookies, and I’m planning the dinner meal.

Let’s see, we need some wine and a centerpiece and ... it’s amazing how much better I feel.

Things to know about power of attorney, or POA their duties and your expectations.

As your agent, they have a legal and fiduciary responsibility which holds them personally liable for intentional misconduct or self-serving actions.

Name co-agents, if possible. Coagents become more important the older you get. Most married couples will choose each other to act as the agent/attorneyin-fact. It’s important to remember, however, that your spouse is aging at the same rate that you are. It is entirely possible that around the time your aches and pains are catching up with you, or dementia is creeping in, your spouse may be suffering from similar issues. Each of you may be hoping that the other one will take care of some pressing matter.

If the POA is effective immediately but names only your spouse as agent, and your spouse is unable to rise to the occasion, your spouse will have to resign or be declared incompetent, in order for the successor agent to replace him or her.

Co-agents cover for one another. In the situation above, if you had named an individual to act as a co-agent with your spouse, that person could have stepped in to act for you immediately. Letters declaring incompetence would not be required.

Two people who will accept the fiduciary responsibility, and who get along with each other and genuinely care for you, can make a wonderful team. As co-agents, they can help each other. They can work out an arrangement that maximizes their individual strengths.

COMPASS & CLOCK

By RICHARD TIZZANO

A

Power of Attorney, or POA, is a critical document to have during your lifetime.

It is effective (valid) only as long as you are alive. At your death, the POA becomes void and your Last Will and Testament directs how things are to be done and who has the authority to do them.

Two primary questions to answer when executing a POA are: “Who?” and “When?” If you already have a POA in place, I recommend that you review the stipulations which answer the following questions: • Who is authorized to act on your behalf and when is that authority effective?

• Who is named as the attorney-in-fact? The attorney-in-fact is often referred to as the “agent.”

• Is the person named still the one you want to have power to act for you? Do you have an alternate agent named if your first choice is unable to serve?

It’s important to choose someone you trust, that you know to be honest and responsible. Your agent should be someone who keeps his or her own finances in order and has shown ongoing concern for your well being. These are minimum requirements for an agent.

Equip the agent(s) with the information necessary to do the best job for you.

Inform the agent(s) of

There is an increased, and very real, sense of accountability when two people work together that is absent when a single individual is given all of the authority of an attorney-in-fact.

When is the POA effective? When can it be used by the agent? A POA should stipulate that it is effective immediately upon execution (signing) or at some future time or event. The POA may state that it is effective only upon your incapacity or incompetence and that your incompetence must be evidenced by a certified letter from your treating physician or possibly two concurring physicians.

Securing a written determination letter from a doctor that you are incompetent to act can be very inconvenient.

Securing one from two doctors can be nearly impossible. In my opinion, most Powers of Attorney for elderly persons should become effective immediately at the time the POA is executed (signed), so that a doctor’s appointment and a letter of incapacity or incompetency is not necessary.

Having a POA that is effective immediately, with powers vested in co-agents, may be the most convenient way to get things done and bring peace of mind.

Great Christmas memories bring smiles to our faces happy, others bittersweet.

Some of my favorite holiday memories are the joy and anticipation and the magic the season brings.

Of course, I can’t pass up a silly Christmas story either.

If I had to guess my sister Shauna’s favorite Christmas memory as an adult, I’m pretty sure it would be the year that my daughters knocked over my mom’s Christmas tree.

My girls, Violet and

Eleanor, were 3 and 1 that year. They were drawn to the sparkly lights and ornaments, especially Violet.

With eight small children in the house, it was busy. All of the kids were in their pajamas and ready for bed or at least ready to lay in their beds and wait with anticipation for Christmas morning.

The girls were excited, too. But they were excited about something else.

They were admiring the ornaments a little too hard when the tree crashed in the middle of the living room, scattering ornament shards all around.

Violet has an affinity for all things sparkly, and while the broken ornaments were being cleaned up, I had to quickly grab hold of her nightgown because she was walking forward like a little zombie arms outstretched chanting, “sparkly, sparkly.”

They were so surprised and innocent looking, and Aunt Shauna thought their orneriness was the best.

She started laughing and

couldn’t stop. She demanded that we hoist the tree up and take a reproduction photo of the girls pushing on the tree so that she could keep the memory.

One Christmas, when my older sisters, Megan and Shauna, were little, they attempted to make skis out of 2 by 4s that they tied to their feet.

They knew they needed a slick surface on their skis, so they rubbed them down with a bar of Irish Spring soap. They even attempted to attach plastic bags to the bottom of the skis.

Shauna graciously allowed Megan to take the skis out on their maiden voyage down our sledding hill. The anticipation of whooshing at top speed down the hill was great.

However, all that went at top speed was Megan’s face right into the snow.

It was a beautiful plan, and I have to hand it to our parents for allowing my sisters room to explore their creative ideas. But I don’t believe there was ever another attempt at homemade skis.

My cousin Maria has an Elf on the Shelf for her children. Recently, her son, Charlie, 7, was upset with her for not letting him do something. She came around the corner and overheard Charlie telling the elf to put her on the naughty list.

When Maria was a small child, she would travel to our grandmother’s house to celebrate Christmas. She was so excited that year that she woke up before anyone else and snuck out to find a giant present.

Maria managed to get it out of the living room and down the hallway near Grandma’s bedroom.

Grandma heard Maria and started to sit up. She slept with a washcloth over her eyes, and in the feeble light of early morning, it looked like a scary mask.

Maria quickly ditched the present and ran to hide.

Between their bouts of laughter, her mom and Grandma tried to get Maria to come out of her hiding place. It took them a lot of convincing.

Erin Raatz of Fort Wayne, Indiana found that her son, Levi, 4, had left a treasure in her bedroom.

“Levi, why is there a 5-foot long stick in my bedroom,” she asked.

“I thought you’d like a walking stick for Christmas,” he said.

Erin and her children drove past a plastic nativity set in someone’s front yard.

“Look at all those people camping,” Levi said excitedly.

This year, Levi decorated the Christmas tree with his socks. He explained to his mother that he didn’t want the tree’s arms to get cold.

Cristina Bassitt of Bremerton was driving with her son, Philip, 3, and saw a blow-up Grinch in a yard they passed.

“Look,” she said. “It’s the Grinch! He’s waiting to steal your presents.”

“No, he’s not,” Philip said. “The Grinch is in our TV, not in our real life.”

ago, Jocelyn Horton of Poulsbo overheard her daughter, Phoebe, who was 4 at the time, talking to her big brother Jonah.

“Sorry, Jonah, I’ve got to leave,” Phoebe said. “I’m gonna be away in a manger today.”

I would love to hear your funny kid stories, so please send them my way.

Parents, teachers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and people who love children, please send your stories and cute kid photos to quinn@ward.media.

I look forward to hearing from you.

— Quinn Ward is a former journalist living in Poulsbo. She has been recording the amazing and outrageous things her kids say since they have been able to talk.

and their barrel program of new French oak doesn’t get in the way of the high floral notes of lilac and evergreen forest that include blueberry jelly and smoky plum. Its structure shows superb balance as splashes of Merlot and Petit Verdot provide finegrained tannins and depth to the lingering flavors of mountain blueberry, dusty plum and dark cherry.

Franc, the lesser-known Bordeaux grape that now-retired founders Myles Anderson and Gordy Venneri used to help launch their brand with in 1995. Aromas of Bing cherry mingled with eucalyptus create cravings for beef and vegetable stew, followed by flavors of cherry, blackberry and cedar backed with high acid and mellow tannin to provide a lingering finish of cranberry. This was awarded Best of Class at three judgings in 2017.

nterest in Cabernet Franc is on the rise in the Pacific Northwest.

More is being planted, being used in blends, and being bottled as a standalone wine.

In 2016, Washington state winemakers brought in 4,300 tons of Cabernet Franc. That’s up a bit from the previous harvest and up nearly 1,000 tons from a decade ago.

Cabernet Franc is considered a blender in its native Bordeaux, and that’s how winemakers often view it in Washington. The grape tends to add a spiciness and herbal notes to Cabernet Sauvignon, while also smoothing out Cab’s famous tannins.

Winemakers use it to add complexity in the cellar.

While there is no movement to plant a lot of new Cabernet Franc (as there is with Malbec), whenever a new planting of Cab goes in somewhere, count on a few rows of Cabernet Franc being part of the mix.

Here are a few bottlings of Cabernet Francs we’ve tasted recently that we recommend trying. Ask for them at your favorite wine merchant or contact the winery directly.

Walla Walla Vintners 2015 Cabernet Franc, Columbia Valley, $35: William vonMetzger continues the tradition of excellence at Walla Walla Vintners with Cabernet

$25: Portland-based Rodger Marks, inspired by an experience on Red Mountain at Kiona Vineyards, went on to a winemaking education through Washington State University. His red wine program relies on Alder Ridge Vineyard in Washington’s Horse Heaven Hills, and this work with Cabernet Franc is a product of his debut commercial vintage. A bit of decanting yields aromas of chalkboard dust, dark cherry, blueberry, toasted oak and horehound earthiness, with long flavors of black raspberry and red plum.

Daven Lore Winery 2014 The Apprentice Cabernet Franc, Yakima Valley, $45: Founding winemaker/ owner Gordon Taylor gives full credit to Sonya Simmons — his apprentice of more than two years — for this project.

Enticing aromas of salted chocolate, black cherry and minerality includes pinches of lavender and rose petal. Inside, it is velvety and luscious as Bing cherry and plum flavors are met by tannins that offer only finesse. Sweet herbs and dark boysenberry make for a delicious finish.

acidity bode well for wild game, meaty sandwiches or vegetable-driven soup.

Leah Jørgensen Cellars 2013 Mae’s Vineyard Grand Reserve Cabernet Franc, Applegate Valley, $75: Mae’s Vineyard, owned and farmed organically near Jacksonville, Oregon by the Quady family, has been a critical piece of Leah Jorgensen’s program, and this Cabernet Franc exudes class from start to finish.

There’s beautiful balance to the dark flavors of blueberry and cherry, which make for a silky, rich and long finish.

William Church Winery 2014 Diane’s Vintage Cabernet Franc, Columbia Valley, $36: Dineen Vineyard from Diane’s vintage earns all of the spotlight under the watch of winemaker Noah Fox Reed in this unblended Cabernet Franc offering. This vintage features aromas and flavors of bright cherry, baked blackberry pie and chocolate, with a pinch of tomato leaf, black currant skin and slice of green olive.

The Newman’s Chevron cleanup site (Site) is a former gas station located at 2021 6th Street, Bremerton, WA 98310 (Property). The station and convenience store operated at the property from 1961 until 2008. Currently, the business on the property is closed, but the fuel pump stations, while inoperable, remain. In 1990 the Site was reported to Ecology and was placed on the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) List. Six underground storage tanks and a small quantity of petroleum contaminated soil (PCS) were removed from the property and replaced with new underground storage tanks in 1990. A large quantity of PCS was left onsite due to stability concerns with the building.

Other independent cleanup activities were performed in 2000 and included soil sampling collected from various locations around the former tanks. Analytical data from the sampling showed contamination remaining above cleanup standards.

Public comment invited You are invited to comment on the Agreed Order for cleanup at the Site. Under the proposed Agreed Order, the PLPs agree to complete the following site actions: • Prepare a draft and final Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) Reports. The RI/FS reports will present the results of the investigation and an evaluation of cleanup alternatives.

• Prepare a Draft Cleanup Action Plan (DCAP).

Ecology developed a Site-specific Public Participation Plan according to requirements under the state cleanup regulations. It is designed to promote meaningful community involvement during the cleanup process. The plan outlines and describes the tools and approaches that Ecology will use to inform the public about site activities, and it identifies opportunities for the community to become involved in this process. You are invited to comment on this document as well.
