More foster parents needed for Kitsap County Especially those from ‘diverse’ cultures and religions By KRISTIN OKINAKA kokinaka@soundpublishing.com

County cuts veteran aid 25 percent as need grows The move makes less available to more as requests for aid climb By Greg Skinner gskinner@soundpublishing.com
Military veterans living near the edge of financial ruin in Kitsap County now have access to less aid following the Board of County Commissioners’ vote last week to reduce individual payouts. The maximum amount of aid per veteran per year was reduced to $900 from $1,200 in a two one vote by Commissioners Josh Brown and Robert Gelder. The reduction was made to stave off raising taxes, or running out of money based on the current tax rate – the only other options considered. Gelder said that the overall amount
to aid the veterans in need was less this year, when compared to previous years, because it’s part of the general operating budget and nearly every departmental budget was reduced. The levy is collected at a range of 1 1/8 cents to 27 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. The current levy rate is 1 1/8 cents per thousand. Without the reduction in payouts, the fund would not make it through the year, Gelder said. “[The fund] would run out by fall,” he said. The veterans assistance fund dispersed $357,000 in tax collections to veterans in need throughout 2011. The county set aside $261,000 for 2012, citing a “declining fund balance.” During the February regular meeting of the county’s veterans advisory board, the board members voted to forward a reduced aid schedule to county leadership for approval.
Leif Bentsen, human services planner Kitsap County Veterans Assistance Program, said there was no other choice. With the numbers of veterans in need climbing in relation to the continued bad economy, the current guidelines allowing $1,200 in aid per individual veteran per year would have left the fund empty before summer’s end. On Feb. 22, a bill in the state senate that sought to separate the constitutionally mandated tax collection from it ties to the county general fund and make flexible adjustments to the collection rate without a vote. Kitsap County Commissioners joined others around the state supporting the bill, which would have gone into law in 2013. Most agreed it would help veterans. Going forward this year, veterans seeking aid from the Veteran’s Advisory See AID, A6
Rupa Dara, a selfemployeed chiropractor, has always had a love for children. Now, she has two young ones that call her “Mimi.” She’s not their grandmother, but a foster mother to them. “If you can provide it, provide it,” Dara said. “If you have a love for children, you can do this.” It wasn’t until Dara recently became a foster parent and became closer to the situations of parenting, that she realized there is a need for more foster homes. She hasn’t once questioned her decision to open her Bremerton home to foster children. “You look at their faces and think, ‘OK, whatever you want me to do, I’ll do,’” she said Monday. People like Dara are making a positive contribution to the lives of children but it’s no question that more foster parents are needed in the Kitsap area. In addition, having a diverse pool of foster parents is also just as important, say foster care recruiters and regional administrators with the state Department of Children and Family Services. Phyllis Bishop, a recruiter and mentor of the Foster Care Resource Network for Kitsap County, said that a recent situation occurred where her boss told her to look — and get the word out — for Muslim families that would be able to become licensed foster care providers. In one case, See HOMELESS, A8
Muslim children were placed in a Christian foster home, which led to issues with food and prayer, said Bishop. The children had to be removed and were placed in another home. Henry Castanares and his wife were foster parents for more than 18 years. They cared for infants to teenagers in their East Bremerton home until last summer. A protestant couple, Casatanares said they took their foster children to church with them regularly and never came across a problem with that. With the teenagers they cared for, they would explain what to expect at the service beforehand, Castanares said. “It wasn’t a big issue at the time,” he said. “We let the children go with what they believed in, we didn’t force anything on them.” Castanares said his family was fortunate to not come across any big cultural or religious differences that made it so the children had to be removed from their home. Foster parents have the choice on whether or not to take a child in and the Castanares never turned anyone away. However, not all transitions are that smooth. “The biological parents have the right to say ‘My child’s not going to that church’ and the foster family has to go along with that,” Bishop said.

Brown weighing run for New DUI law stiffens penalties, opens records 6th District, Angel is out By Raechel Dawson WNPA Olympia News Bureau
After a Friday night of happy hour and late-night drinking, some people fail to consider the repercussions of driving while impaired, but legislators have. Various changes to the driving-under-theinfluence law have unanimously passed the Legislature and will become effective upon the governor’s signature. The reform puts more stringent penalties on those convicted of drunk driving including increased fees and facial recognition systems on ignitioninterlock devices. Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, sponsored House Bill 2443, which, he said, will enforce one of the most “comprehensive ignition interlock programs in the country” by strengthening the state employee workforce to properly administer it. The Department of Licensing takes the reigns of the program from city and county courts. Capt. Jason Berry, legislative liaison for the Washington State Patrol, has been an advocate for the bill and agrees that the current program needs better enforcement. “As we look to technology to assist us in changing offender behavior, maintaining quality assurance and ensuring these drivers remain sober, we need appropriate oversight in place,” said Berry in a statement last week. “This bill will provide that, at no cost to the taxpayer.”
But, it will cost convicted drunk drivers. The bill would impose fees to fund Ignition Interlock Devices for DUI-convicted drivers who can’t afford the device. For those who are required to have the Breathalyzer – which activates the device upon exceeding the alcohol limit – and can afford it, an extra $20 per month is tacked on to the original monthly interlock device fee. Fees are deposited into the Ignition Interlock Device Revolving Account, which then helps pay the cost for indigent drivers. Stricter rules on who is required to have an ignition interlock device and who may apply for one opens up the number of devices to those who have had their original DUI charge reduced to reckless driving. This, in turn, increases the number of devices needed and generates more dollars. “We’ve had about 25,000 [devices installed] over the course of the last couple of years. This might double those numbers,” said Goodman. “The research is really clear that if the device is in the car, you don’t drive drunk.” In case having a device installed isn’t enough of an incentive to drive sober, the bill also urges ignition interlock devices come with a facial recognition system when possible. This is to prevent sober friends or family from taking the breath test in lieu of the intoxicated vehicle-owner, according to Goodman. See DUI, A16

K it s ap C ou nt y Commissioner Josh Brown is weighing a run for the 6th District congressional seat, adding to a large list of potential candidates who could succeed retiring Congressman Norm Dicks. “I haven’t decided if I will run,” Brown told the Port Orchard Independent on March 9. “Im thinking about it.” Brown was first elected to the Board of County Commissioners in 2006, and has worked on the boards of Kitsap Transit, Kitsap County Consolidated Housing Authority and the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council. As the senior member of the Board of County Commissioners, Brown would join State Sen. Derek Kilmer, D-Gig Harbor, as the highest profile area democrats looking to fill the seat being vacated by Dicks. “I’m going to listen and see if there are folks with the same passion and drive that I have,” Brown said. “I could be very interested in

running.” Both Brown and Kilmer were mentioned by Dicks as possible successors after he announced his retirement on March 2. “It’s a real honor that Norm would mention my name,” he said. Though there was no time table behind a decision to run for Congress, he said he would make his decision only after careful deliberation. “For me, I will be thoughtful and deliberative with any decisions I make,” he said. Dolores Gilmore, Kitsap County elections manager, said if Brown won an election for Congress, he would resign his seat with the Board of County Commissioners and a democratic commissioner would be appointed to fill the vacancy. That position would then go to general election in 2013. “It would be done much in the same way as Commissioner Gelder,” she said, referring to the appointment of county commissioner Robert Gelder in 2011. No matter who ultimately fills Dicks’ seat, Brown said, they will have a lot to live up to following a congressman
who served 18 consecutive terms. Brown called Dicks an “amazing leader.” “There will be an enormous void,” he said of Dicks’ retiring. “Norm has always done what he could for the Navy, the area’s largest employeer. He has helped clean up Kitsap County and left a remarkable legacy.” Possible successors that would take a seat across the aisle have also been gearing up to run for the open seat. Port Orchard businessman Bob Sauerwein and Gig Harbor technology consultant Jesse Young will enter the race as republicans. State Rep Jan Angel, R-Port Orchard, who said last week she was considering a running for Congress, announced on Saturday that she plans to stay put in her position in the State Legislator. “I have been truly honored by those that have asked me to consider running for the 6th Congressional seat,” she said in a statement. “I will be asking you to rehire me,” she said. “There is much work yet to be done and it would truly be my honor to again represent the people of the 26th District.”
Sheriff’s Office, Washington State Patrol, and police departments from the cities of Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo, with the Washington State Liquor Control Board. Between 2005 and 2011, Washington state has had 53.8 percent of traffic deaths — equating to 21 out of 39 incidents — around St. Patrick’s Day involving an impaired driver, according to data from the Kitsap County Traffic Safety Task Force.
To have a safe St. Patrick’s Day, people are encouraged to plan a way to get home before festivities begin and to designate a sober driver. Also, calling 9-1-1 if an impaired driver is seen or taking the keys away from a driver who is about to drive while drunk, are easy steps to help prevent an incident from occurring.

Clear Creek Trail: An adventure even for the regulars By KRISTIN OKINAKA kokinaka@soundpublishing.com
When Nancy Sennett first discovered Silverdale’s Clear Creek Trail a few years ago, she thought the sounds of nearby cars would be disruptive to her nature walks. Now she doesn’t think twice about it. “The traffic — I don’t even hear it anymore,” Sennett said. Sennet, 82, moved to Silverdale in July 2008 to be closer to her son after her husband died. She moved from the Adirondacks in New York and while she had visited Silverdale several times to see her son and his family, it wasn’t until she was a Silverdale resident that she discovered Clear Creek Trail. One day as she drove past the parking lot of Harrison Medical Center’s Silverdale campus, she noticed a sign for the trail. Shortly after, she decided to see where it would take her. “I wondered where it would go,” Sennett said. “I’m always exploring.” Sennett took her first stroll on the trail in April 2010 and for a year, she took photos of the trail and along the trail depicting the different seasons and things she came across. She did the same photo project when she was first getting acquainted with the Adirondacks. Her scrapbook of the images she’s captured of the trail include “a lucky day” when she got close-ups of two geese waddling with their chicks to the fall colors of trees and the aftermath of a windstorm that swept branches onto parts of the trail. Although it’s difficult to say what her favorite part of the trail is, Sennett said ever since she was a kid, she’s always loved trees. “I’m an honest-to-God tree hugger,” she said. “I could never live in a tree-less place.”
And, her son, Thomas Oliver, can attest to Sennett’s love for nature. “When I was a kid, I never stayed in a hotel. We were always camping,” he said, adding that the first time he ever stayed in a hotel was when he was in his mid-20s. Walking Clear Creek Trail is merely part of her regular routine now — she goes twice a week — and most likely contributes to her upbeat and good health. Oliver said his mother continues to be very excited whenever they walk the trail together. “It’s like she’s introducing me to her friends,” Oliver said. Sennett has her own names for specific parts of the trails and even certain trees. With easily more than 500 photos of the trail alone, Sennett doesn’t limit her photography to the trail. She also creates scrapbooks of vacations she has been on or of family members. Tex Lewis, a Clear Creek Task Force member who has been a volunteer in helping to maintain and expand the trail for nearly 20 years, said the trail means different things to different people and he was interested in seeing Sennett’s relationship with the trail. Since he typically sees the trail through the view of owners who donate their land or the children who have helped work on it, it’s always nice to get another take on it, Lewis said. “It’s interesting to see how other people relate to the trail,” he added. The work to the trail never ends. Lewis cleared a tree that had fallen on the trail Monday morning. He said he has a few regular walkers who will call him if anything has gone awry on the trail. Next month, about 100 students from Central Kitsap High School will help install a new section of trail in downtown Silverdale

Other projects to the trail include a new bridge near the Hop Jack’s restaurant and adding a picnic pavilion on the old Markwick property, said Lewis. The Olympic College Engineering Club is helping with the research and construction of the bridge and Lewis hopes to gather volunteers for a few work
parties in the summer to help with the picnic pavilion project. And, all the work is a payoff for residents like Sennett and others in the community who appreciate it. “I don’t walk fast. I stop, and look at stuff. I don’t want to miss anything,” she said. “I’m just so grateful that the trail’s here. And that someone did the work to have it.”

Bridge for sale IN OUR OPINION
Selling the naming rights to the eastbound Tacoma Narrows Bridge is the right side of simple genius. Public property, in the form of stadiums, is often named as the result of a big financial deal. While there is not much presidence with Washington state highways selling rights, there is no real reason to expect less than millions in revenue from the bridge, especially if the deal is brokered by an industry leader with experience bargaining for municipalities with high-value properties. We like the idea of Ford as the main sponsor of the bridge formally known as the Narrows. A classic heavyweight with long ties to the American roadscape. Ford even has its own cash reserve to draw upon for royalty payments. If not Ford, then General Motors. With it as anchor, auto-themed sponsors stay interested while simultaneously promoting a subtext of forced public-private partnership by
nailing down a good deal on the $750 million behemoth that costs drivers a toll fee equal to a gallon of a gas – if you are not “Good To Go!” eastbound. Once the debt is repaid, the naming practice could stand in place and the revenue could join the $2-per-employee employment tax expected to fund the 2011 high capacity transportation law favored by most of the state legislators representing Kitsap County. Toyota could make a larger statement about the future of individual transportation and sponsor the bridge through the Prius line. Or, the obvious, Toyota Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Last year, Toyota did spend $2 million to put its blazing red emblem above the left field wall above Chicago’s famed ivy. In the long run, the naming sale would be like a giant rebate for toll-payers. Every gallon of gas burned crossing the milelong spans delivers 37 cents to the state for highways. Depending on which side of the bridge you live, left or right, a big oil company, such as British Petroleum stepping into the sponsorship game with some of its record profits

in partnership with NASCAR could be a favorable way to stave off the projected toll rate climb into the $5 to $7 range – $4 for pass holders – if the Legislature doesn’t delay the repayment scheme for a few more years. The two bigger bridges in the nation, Golden Gate ($6 to cross) and George Washington Bridge ($7 to $12 to cross), retain their given names in the new growing public private infrastructure economy.

how long? Perhaps the most naming right royalties could come from Hollywood. Hoist a big Northwest remake of the Hollywood sign across the superstructure. A Galloping Gertie theme park danger ride could be built across Paradise Bay at Disney’s California Advenutre Park that tumbles into a “created” torrent below, could fund the sponsorship. As potential sponsors line up
for the top deck sales, the over under should not be forgotten. That waterway passing below the magnificent dual mile-long suspensions of the multigenerational twin roadways holds extra transportation-based sponsorships. The under bridge signage can earn more per square inch from the boating community simply by marinizing it and charging double.

room clocks out of view. Anxiously watching the minutes tick by when you can’t sleep is a surefire recipe for insomnia. Light emitted from a clock, telephone, or other device can also disrupt your sleep. If you have to have an alarm to awaken you, at least turn the device away from your view so that any light that may be emitted will be diminished. Keeping a regular bedtime “routine” is also a key to getting a good night’s sleep. So, in addition to developing good “habits,” and keeping the bedroom “environment” conducive to sleep, consider these bedtime routines. 1. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same times every day, even on the weekends. 2. Go to bed earlier. Adjust your bedtime to match when you feel like going to bed, even if that’s earlier than it used to be. 3. Develop bedtime “rituals.” A soothing bath or playing soft music can help you wind down. Relaxation and stress management techniques, such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation may take
some practice, but their benefits can be substantial. 4. Limit your use of sleeping aids and sleeping pills. Research has indicated that many sleep aids have side-effects, and are not meant for long-term use. Although it may be tempting to continue using them, they are crutches that only address the symptoms, not the causes of insomnia. In fact, sleeping pills can often make insomnia worse in the long run. As a result, it’s best to limit sleeping pills to situations where a person’s health or safety is threatened. One final thought. If your own attempts to solve your sleep problems are unsuccessful, you should definitely contact your doctor. It may be that your sleep problems are due to such things as a sleep disorder, medication side-effects or interactions, medical conditions or illnesses, or maybe pain. In any case, your doctor can diagnose the problem, and help you find a solution. Remember, don’t expect to sleep poorly as you age. Just as younger adults can solve their sleep problems, so can you.

threaten our economic recovery
What’s that old saying? “One step forward, two steps back.” Just as our economy is starting to move again, rising gas prices threaten to put the brakes on the recovery. Gasoline is at the highest price ever for this time of year. The average price in Washington state on Feb. 22 was $3.68 a gallon, according to AAA. That’s up 14 cents in a week and 21 cents in a month. Analysts say gas could hit $4.25 a gallon or more by late April. Rising prices for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel increase the cost of virtually everything because millions of products worldwide use refined petroleum somewhere along the way. Take food, for example. Farmers use fuel to plant and harvest crops, processors use fuel to package those products, distributors use fuel to run their warehouse operations, and truckers use fuel to
get the products to your local grocery store. Rising fuel prices increase costs at each step of the production line. So, what’s going on? Fuel prices always go up in the spring as refineries temporarily shut down to switch from their winter fuel blends to the more costly summer blends mandated by the EPA. But to make matters worse, several refineries have closed, further limiting gasoline supply. Analyst Brian Milne says two refineries in the mid-Atlantic area have permanently closed and a third will shut down this summer. Also, European refiners export a significant amount of gasoline to the United States, and Switzerland-based refiner Petroplus recently closed five of its refineries.

FOSTER CONTINUED FROM A1
herself, said religion isn’t the only factor that could play into an uneasy or difficult foster care placement for children. Other differences including ethnicity, or having a military background, could also make for challenges. Two-and-a-half years ago, Bishop cared for a teenager who came from a military family, and with Bishop being non-military, she had some hurdles. She had to gain access to go on base to take him to the doctor — all his counseling and medical check-ups were through the Navy — and also to go to Naval Hospital Bremerton, she was required to fill out extra paperwork to get past security. But, not only was getting on base or into the hospital more time consuming for Bishop, many things are unfamiliar territory for a civilian. “It’s a different culture. I don’t know all the rules in dealing with the people,” she said. The main point in having foster parents that have similar backgrounds as the
children they will care for is to keep some form of consistency in the young ones’ changing living situation. Bishop said military, black and Native American foster parents are always in need. “It won’t be as traumatic if there’s some consistency, with religious values or cultural values,” said Ursula Petters, the area administrator for the Department of Children and Family Services. There is no minimum or maximum length of stay for a child in foster care as the situation is evaluated on a case by case basis. The goal is to return children with family as soon as possible or to get them adopted, said Petters. However, sometimes the process isn’t as quick as they would like. “We work with children to [gain] permanency, whether that’s returning home, a guardianship or adoption,” said Petters. “Children who grow up in foster care who age out have worse outcomes than those who do not, and it’s not a reflection on the foster parents.” There are 382 children under court supervision with some form of placement whether it be in foster care or with a relative in the county, according the DCFS.
There are 233 licensed foster homes in the county. These figures are “snapshots” to date as of Monday, said Petters. Although the number of licensed homes are more than 200, Petters said it includes people who become licensed to care for a specific child within their family and do not take in general children. “There are more relatives being licensed now, we’re in need of generaluse foster homes. There’s definitely a need to take in sibling groups and teenagers,” said Linda Kalinowski, area administrator for the division of license resources with DCFS. When someone wants to become a foster parent, the process begins with an orientation that describes the requirements followed by a 27-hour pre-service, which is training, said Kalinowski. The next orientation in Bremerton is April 16. After completing the training, the applicant is given the application, which includes a complete background check and receiving CPR and first aid training as well as doing a TB test.

the home individually with the caregivers, if there will be more than one in the household. Things the licensor checks for include appropriate number of beds and safety equipment such as fire extinguishers. Depending on the type of license individuals apply for and receive, determines the specifics of their foster home including whether they can care for multiple children, those with special medical needs or the age range of the children. Dara began the process to become a foster parent in September and was
licensed in January. About three weeks after receiving her license, she was caring for the two children who are currently with her. Her home is licensed to care for up to two children. Traci Eveland, the lead recruiter for Pierce County with the Foster Care Resource Network, said the number one comment she hears from people on the fence of becoming foster parents is having to see the children leave them when they return to their biological parents or relatives. “A lot of people are afraid of the good-byes. People
think they would get too attached,” Eveland said. “I thought that as well, but we decided to do it anyway.” Eveland and her husband’s home have been licensed to take care of two children for six years. She was adopted as a child and said this is her way of giving back. “It’s the best thing we’ve ever done,” she said. For Dara, spending time and caring for the kids is worth it despite the potential for sad good-byes later. “Why wouldn’t I do something worthy of breaking my heart?” she asked.

in the county. More than 60 percent of voters said no to an increase of about $12 for the average home. Under the new reductions, Port Orchard resident Glover “Leon” Ashlock would be able to return to the county this year for help with next winter’s heating costs – if he needs to. The 73-year-old Cold War veteran and retired shipyard worker was awarded veteran aid this winter to buy several tons of wood pellets to heat the home he shares with his 71-year-old wife. Ashlock, who served in the Army and then worked until age 71, said medical bills
from multiple heart attacks wiped out the family nest egg. Referring to the out of pocket expense of insurance, he said 20 percent of three heart attacks is a lot. Normally the guy people go to for help, Ashlock said asking for help was tough, but that he needed to make sure his wife would be warm as she recovers from a stroke. Calling the veterans assistance levy a “good deal” and a form of repayment for service to the good of all citizens, Ashlock said, “If it weren’t for the veteran, we wouldn’t be a country. They deserve everything they get.”

Board will see the maximum allowable aid to drop to $900 almost immediately. Some service such as car repair will drop to $500 and mortgage assistance was dropped completely. The change to aid dollars came three months after a special election seeking to increase the county’s veterans assistance levy in effort to surmount the static aid budget and meet the growing need with help to veterans living near the financial edge

County parks’ BMX track may be leveled Officials say course is too big and dangerous By BRETT CIHON Port Orchard Independent Reporter
Kyle Olsen worked hard to craft a large pile of dirt at South Kitsap Regional Park’s BMX course from a shapeless mound into a jump. He filled in gaps. He patted the dirt. He shaped the jump’s lip. After a while, 16-yearold Olsen took a break and leaned against his shovel, frustrated. Not because the dirt he was molding into the perfect 8-foot long “tabletop” was heavy and hard to move. Olsen was frustrated because, if the Kitsap County Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee has their way, all his work would be for naught. “I’ve been coming here every day for the past three years,” he said. “If they tear it down, I guess we’ll just have to build it back up again.” Olsen, a sophomore at South Kitsap High School, is one of the area teens that ride the course located near the park’s Lund Avenue entrance. The course of jumps, turns and berms is a big draw for young extreme sports enthusiasts all across the county, said Troy Langley, the owner of Casey’s Batting Cages,
which operates about 100 yards to the right of the track’s entrance. But, the course could soon be flattened. In mid-Februar y, the 12-member Kitsap County Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, which makes recommendations to the Kitsap County commissioners, voted to bulldoze the BMX course, said Kitsap County Parks Director Jim Dunwiddie. Though the decision isn’t final, Dunwiddie said if community members don’t offer ways to help fix the course’s problems, leveling the myriad mounds may not be too far off. “The park board voted last month to take it all out,” he said. “That might be a final decision, but it’s not something that would be immediate.” What exactly is wrong with the course is up for debate. The Parks Advisory Committee was upset because the course had “overextended its footprint” and that jumps had surpassed the 4-foot height restriction put in place when the course was built in 2009. “It seems like it’s getting larger and larger,” Dunwiddie said. “There are rogue jumps that
need to be examined.” Others disagree. Olsen said he was told by a parks employee that the course was slated for leveling because users did not pick up their trash. A large water heater the BMXers used as an obstacle was given as one egregious example of excess trash. “We’ve been jumping over the water tank forever,” he said. “They told us to take it out, so we took it out.” Langley offered his own explanation as to why the county seemed committed to tearing out the jumps. Because the park attracts a bevy of teenage boys, it also, occasionally, attracts trouble. “I think they [the county] are coming at it from there is some vandalism and damage to the park,” he said. “That may not even be the BMX kids at all.” Fred Karakas, the owner of Olympic Bike and Skate on Bay Street, said that kids have jumped bikes in the South Kitsap Regional Park area since the late 1960s. The land, previously owned by the state Department of Natural Resources, was a haven for outdoor sports enthusiasts, he said. Bikers turned an access road on the land in to one of the first “jump tracks” in the area.
“Kids have been jumping there for 45 years,” Karakas said. “It’s kind of tradition back there. It started as sort of a fringe thing and turned into a kind of subculture for South Kitsap. People came from all over.” The course next to Casey’s Batting Range was redone in 2009, after See BMX, A13 Brett Cihon/Staff Photo

Not giving up on the parks By KRISTIN OKINAKA kokinaka@soundpublishing.com
A lot has changed within Kitsap County’s parks since 2006. Fifty-six miles of trails have been added since then. A stronger push to find money for parks projects outside the county has occurred since that time. The second public hearing on updates to the county parks plan took place at the Board of County Commissioners’ Monday meeting. Carly Michelson, project manager in the Kitsap County Parks and Recreation Department, said the updates to the 2012 Kitsap County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan is a requirement from the states
Recreation and Conservation Office in order to be eligible to apply for the next grant funding cycle. The last time the parks department made changes to the plan was in 2006. Since then, 665 acres of park and open space have been added to the county, primarily including the additions to Newberry Hill Heritage Park in Central Kitsap and acquiring Rolling Hills Golf Course in East Bremerton, South Kitsap Regional Park and Kingston Village Green community park, said Michelson. The overall plan includes a parks capital facility plan that indicates it will cost the county about $17.5 million in parks projects from 2012 to 2017. “The needs and demands increase as popu-
lation does,” Michelson said. During the public hearing, two people testified. The first was Shaun Lane, a Central Kitsap resident, who voiced concerns about where the county would get money for the millions of dollars in listed parks projects. “State money is drying up. State money will not be made available for things like this,” he said. The capital facility plan currently lists 27 main projects that need funding include the Rolling Hills purchase agreement, acquisition of 300 feet of shoreline at Sinclair Inlet and the expansion of Clear Creek Trail, among others. Kitsap County Commissioner Josh Brown said that mainly grants and partnerships with
other agencies are what will move the projects along, not solely county dollars. “We have citizens relying on this plan as a blueprint,” he added. Brown said about $9.3 million would come from grants and about $4 million in partnerships, which makes up $13.3 million of the total $17.5 million. He added that the county is grateful for the many volunteers, including steward groups, who help maintain parks and work with the county. In addition, this time the county didn’t hire a consultant to create the plan like it did in 2006. “We went a frugal route,” Brown said. Rather than a specific issue with an item included in the plan such as Lane had with the costs of projects, Hank Anderson had comments about the plan as a whole. “I’m afraid to say it, it got confusing really quickly,” Anderson, of Silverdale, said.

CK school levy passes Bremerton High receives District budget discussions continue By KRISTIN OKINAKA kokinaka@soundpublishing.com
The Central Kitsap School District supplemental levy officially passed and was certified by the Kitsap County Auditor’s Office at the end of February. With a total turn out of 15,593 voters, 50.26 percent, or 7,837 voters, supported the levy. The levy will bring in $7.6 million to the school district in a two-year period beginning in 2013. This will be a 62-cent increase per $1,000 of a home’s assessed value. The additional money will help minimize the impact of the school district’s budget deficit. For the 2012-2013 school year, the district faces a $6.3 million budget shortfall. However, factoring in the supplemental levy and proposed state budgets, the shortfall for next school year could be an estimated $1 million. “In terms of where we
are with the approximate $1 million shortfall, we’re going to have to wait on the Legislature to wrap up their work,” district spokesman David Beil said last Friday. The programs or positions that will face cuts or reductions in the school district have yet to be determined as discussions surrounding the budget continue. Another set of community budget forums will take place. One was scheduled to take place Thursday and a second will be next Wednesday, March 21. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Jenne-Wright Administration Center on Silverdale Way. The district had a first round of budget forums for the community and staff members in September followed by another set in January and an online budget survey available at the end of February. “If we continue to see a bad forecast, we’re in good shape,” said Superintendent Greg Lynch at a Central Kitsap School Board study session meeting last Thursday. “We won’t be starting with a blank piece of paper.” The significant budget
Need directions to your financial destination?
shortfall for the next school year is due to state and federal cuts as well as the loss of Heavy Impact Aid. School districts with large military populations receive the federally-funded Heavy Impact Aid. Over the past five years ,the district had received nearly $8 million in the aid. The district’s appeal on the loss of Heavy Impact Aid is moving forward and Lynch said there is a “50-50” chance of it being restored. If the challenge to the Department of Education is not successful, the district will be eligible to reapply for the funding in 2014 with the heavy impact payments beginning in 2015. If Heavy Impact Aid is partially or fully restored, Lynch said the district would rebate the levy dollars to taxpayers. “We have to,” added Christy Cathcart, school board member. Although data has been gathered from staff and community members, some say nothing concrete has been identified. The January budget forums had participants prioritize a list of items equating to $12.3 million that are not funded by the state. “What we decide now with the budget is our starting point,” said board member Eric Greene, referring to if there is a need in the future to make more reductions. “We haven’t identified where we’re at yet.” The school board will likely receive a presentation

Washington STEM Entrepreneur Award Bremerton High School is one of among 14 schools or organizations that were awarded a Washington STEM Entrepreneur Award in March. The award supports the exploration of breakthrough ideas and promising approaches in STEM education and the high school will receive $10,000 to transition its 9th grade science curriculum to a STEM-based one, according to a statement from the Bremerton School District. A STEM course that focuses on project-based engineering will begin in the fall for all incoming 9th grade students at the high school, said Linda Hupka, the school’s assistant principal and CTE supervisor. The new course will replace the current physical science curriculum.
The awarded money will allow for professional development and common planning time for eight teachers to develop projects, connect with industry partners and align the curriculum to the common core standards. Professional development and teaming will also include the Project Lead the Way teacher at Mountain View Middle School and West Hills STEM Academy. Washington STEM is connected to a national network of organizations advancing STEM education at the state and national levels. With its recent round of investments, Washington STEM has committed $2,010,000 to programs reaching more than 500 teachers and 16,000 students across the state.

Developers continue on Seabeck marina project Community anxiously waits, supports By KRISTIN OKINAKA kokinaka@soundpublishing.com
Warren Lewis, a third generation Seabeckian, signed up at the Seabeck General Store for a slip to moor his boat about three years ago at a new Seabeck marina. The marina didn’t exist at the time. And, the project continues. While marina developers have had to overcome many hurdles and there still remains to be a ways to go until the Olympic View Marina is complete, Lewis’ support — like many — for it hasn’t stopped. “We have nothing between Point No Point and Alderbrook,” Lewis said. “It’s just an economic first for Seabeck.” Lewis has lived in Seabeck for 35 years, and like many other community members, gathered at a Tuesday town hall
meeting at the Seabeck Conference Center, which was organized by the Central Kitsap Community Council, on Seabeck-related topics and issues. A majority of the people were there to learn more about what is happening to the marina project. “We’ve seen the marina start and fold and go again,” said Sara Nell Davis, a 16-year Seabeck resident. Davis said she is pleased to hear that work on the marina will soon be taking place again. Some concerns that she has heard from other residents include the marina’s breakwater affecting the shoreline and if there will be a partnership with the Port of Bremerton. The private developers, Boyer Halverson and Wil Clark, are going on six years working on
the project, which has included halts in the construction process by the state Department of Natural Resources, followed by more than 200 community members signing a petition and the developers going down to Olympia to negotiate leasing issues with department officials. A resolution on the lease agreement with the department was reached last summer, and the project was able to move forward. “You’re not going to say anything to offend us, we’re thick-skinned,” Clark said to a group of more than 90 people at a first break-out session of Tuesday’s meeting. To date, Clark estimates the developers have spent $1 million to $1.5 million out-of-pocket on the project including engineering, designing and permitting. At the beginning of the project, there were four developers in total and now Halverson and Clark remain work-
ing on it. Halverson, owner of Boyer Towing, has personal ties to the project as his grandmother owned the Seabeck store from 1919 to 1936. Clark is with Pacific Pile and Marine, an international heavy civil and marine contractor, based in Seattle. The two understand that the community is anxious for a new marina, but because they are paying for everything themselves, things could take some time. To give access to people sooner rather than later, the 200slip marina will be built in two phases. The first phase will create about half of the slips and people will be able pay for moorage, which would help pay for the future expansion in the second phase. “The reality — you won’t see any boats out here for 18 to 24 months,” Clark said. As far as the DNR coming back and requiring higher fees, Halverson
said that there should not be further issues because a five-year leased was signed with the department. “The threat of the DNR problem is gone,” he said. No decisions on whether any partnership with the Port of Bremerton with the Seabeck marina have been made, though the developers said discussions continue. An idea is that the port could operate the marina since it has more resources, said Halverson. In terms of what is ahead construction-wise, Clark said that the main trestle will get decked in a month or so. And, as to not interfere with fish cycles, the breakwater would be put in toward the end of the summer. Slips would be rented out on a month basis at the new marina. It will also include a fuel dock. The original marina dates back to the 1880s and has been a landmark for the Seabeck community.
Sue Arkless, who owns a building along the Seabeck Highway near the site, is excited for a new marina. “My only concern is the hoops they have to jump through,” she said of the developers. “It’s been such a long haul for them.” Dorene Fretwell, of Seabeck, who has lived in the area since 1979, said she pays $600 a year in taxes that go toward the Port of Bremerton. She doesn’t like the idea that her taxes are going toward the Bremerton Marina when she lives in Seabeck and can’t wait for Seabeck to have one of its own. “We have no boat launch. We have no school. I think Seabeck needs to be noticed,” she said. And, it has, as the community has shown relentless support for a new marina throughout the past several years. “It just takes time,” Halverson said.
House, Senate pass transportation budget in final hour By Scott Panitz WNPA Olympia News Bureau
As the 2012 supplemental operating budget negotiations froze nearing adjournment of the 2012 session, March 8, the Washington state Legislature rached agreement on a different major spending plan: the Transportation budget. A bipartisan transportation supplemental budget that overwhelmingly passed in both chambers raises $57 million in new revenue over the remainder of the 2011-2013 biennium with various fee increases. The new money would primarily go toward debt service on a second 144-vehicle ferry, transit operation grants and provide seed money for future projects statewide. Washington State Patrol and Washington State Ferries operations accounts, which are both projected to go into the red in 2013, would receive $16 million combined from the new revenues. The additive revenues are projected to raise a further $183.5 million for the same projects and accounts during the 2013-2015 bien-
nium. While the budget adopted Thursday is a short-term solution to the Connecting Washington Task Force’s call for a $21 billion investment in transportation infrastructure over the next 10 years, transportation leaders were able to cross party lines and put together a budget which both parties agreed they could support. “I feel really positive about it,” said Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen (D-10th, Camano Island), chairwoman of the Senate Transportation Committee. “It’s an extraordinarily good budget, I think, considering the limited amount of money that we had.” Haugen said that the budget would create or sustain 43,000 jobs for the rest of the biennium. “We’ve done some major things this year with the Alaskan Way Viaduct and I-405 and the Columbia River Crossing and SR 520,” said Haugen. “We’re keeping all those projects moving.

Judge, no to 50K legal bill Seabeck gun club to pay hundreds in county legal expenses rather than county’s five-figure amount
Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club won’t have to pay the five-figure amount in the legal costs that Kitsap County prosecution was seeking. Pierce County Superior Court
Judge Susan Serko ruled last Friday that the Seabeck gun club is entitled to pay $480 in court costs to county attorneys but not the approximate $50,000 it sought after. Serko issued an injunction in February, which ordered the club to pay for the county’s legal expenses during the lawsuit. “The club’s next step is looking for a stay of judgement at the [state] court of appeals,” said Marcus Carter, executive officer of the club. Serko ruled in February that the
Tribal retrocession law awaits gov’s approval By Raechel Dawson WNPA Olympia News Bureau
Washington’s tribal communities earned autonomous recognition from the state Legislature on the final day of the session. Upon the governor’s approval, autonomy could effective as early as June. Civil and criminal jurisdiction over tribal mem-
bers could be returned to the tribal councils in all areas, but control over sexually violent predators, so long as the governor and federal government officials agree on the requested retrocession, remain with the state. The three-step procedure tribal communities face to ensure sovereignty include the submission of a “retro-
gun club was a public nuisance and ordered it to shut down its shooting range until it has acquired a conditional use permit from the county. The club has shut down its shooting range since the Feb. 9 decision and order but plans to appeal. “We’re looking at least three or four weeks down the road,” Carter said last Friday on filing the appeal motion. Kitsap County Prosecutor Russell Hauge filed the lawsuit against the club in September 2010.
cession resolution” to the governor, approval by the governor with possible legislative recommendations, and final authorization from the U.S. Department of Interior, which oversees tribal affairs at the federal level.. Chairman Harry Smiskin of the Yakama Nation’s tribal council said members of council are very pleased the bill passed. Engrossed Substitute Sen. Craig Pridemore, D-Vancouver, revised the bill with a striker that specifies the governor pay extra attention while granting retrocession from the operation of motor vehicles on public streets, alleys,
roads and highways – an area over which the state currently has limited jurisdiction with 17 of the 29 federally-recognized tribes in Washington. Because tribal communities under state jurisdiction often involve city or county police enforcement the bill encourages tribal communities to consult with cities or counties that are affected by the switch before submitting their resolution. Tribes have until June 7 to conclude their resolutions before the act is effective. Once the the governor signs, tribal leaders must then negotiate with federal government officials.

BUDGET CONTINUED FROM A12
more money,” he said. Benton recalled a conversation with Haugen regarding the issue, in which he claimed the chairwoman sided with the DOT, saying that they didn’t know about the issues with the bridge height. “Like all budgets, there’s a lot of good in there, so maybe those guys just decided, ‘well there’s more good than bad,’” said Benton. Yakima Sen. Curtis King (R-14th) echoed Benton’s statements to a degree, but said overall he was pleased with the budget. He described the major highlights as the building of the new ferry boat and the additional funds that take “some of the pressure off of the shortfalls that were being projected in the ferry system and the state patrol accounts.” “I think those are probably the two biggest factors in how we keep the transportation flowing,” said King, the ranking minority member of the Senate Transportation Committee. House Transportation Chairwoman, Rep. Judy Clibborn (D-41st, Mercer
Island), said the budget “helps us get through the next biennium fairly well. Ferries and State Patrol, those are the ones in our budget that hit red in 2013, so we’ll have that helped and then local governments and the transits get some money. There’s nothing to not like [in the budget], there’s just not very much [money].” She said, however, that in order to maintain the transportation infrastructure and secure projects going forward, a substantial revenue package is needed. She said voters should expect to see some kind of proposal on the ballots in 2014, a timeline Haugen agreed with. Though King isn’t sure that a massive revenue package is the only option, he acknowledged its possibility. “We have lots of projects that require lots of money, so it’s going to come down to how pertinent are those projects and how important are they to our transportation system as a whole and can we raise money, can we find additional monies and how do we accomplish that,” he said. “How much can the people of the state of Washington afford?” he posed.

Although the whole nuclear story in the Philippines took place over decades, it now appears to be over. The owners of the plant have turned it into a tourist attraction. The utility in charge says that tours are booked months in advance. In the long story of nuclear power around the globe, it seems the Philippines are taking a step away from nukes while we are taking a step toward them.

In the proposed plan, the county will no longer provide recreation services nor take a leading role in neighborhood park development, said Michelson. With an exception to the County Fair and Rodeo, the county has become “the host or facilitator” of recreation programs, according to the plan. The county will continue its role in providing regional park, recreation and open space. Michelson added that further expansions of North Kitsap Heritage Park as well as Kitsap Forest and Bay Project (in Port Gamble, Kingston and Hansville) are
key objectives. The habitat portion of the entire plan has relatively remained the same, said Michelson. The habitat plan addresses some strategies to successfully retain and maintain healthy fish, wildlife and plant species for watershed and habitat value in county parks. Written public comment on the plan was scheduled to be accepted until Wednesday and the county commissioners would be provided with a final version of the plan to adopt at it’s next board meeting at the end of the month.
PARKS CONTINUED FROM A7
Anderson made note that there were some discrepancies between numerical text in some areas of the document and thought that maybe some out-dated information from the 2006 plan was included in the proposed 2012 one. County Commissioner Charlotte Garrido agreed that there were discrepancies in the plan that needed to be edited and fixed for the final version.

the South Kitsap BMX Association closed its track, located at the other end of the park, because of financial problems. The kids who use the track police themselves, Karakas said, making sure novice riders use the lower jumps. He also said the County Park’s Advisory Committee’s recommendations on not having jumps taller than four feet is arbitrary. BMX jumps can be made as tall as riders can handle them, he said. “The county just makes it up as they go along,” he said. A redevelopment plan for the park released in 2010 had a revamped dirt rack scheduled to sit next to a world-class South Kitsap Skatepark by 2011. But since groundbreaking on a skatepark has long been promised and never delivered, Olsen fears a revamped track will never come. “This is the only track in Port Orchard,” he said. “There’s one in Shelton and a private one here, but that’s it.” Olsen said he has sent 12 emails to county commisioners regarding the tracks. Parents and his friends have also called and left messages for the commissioners, he said, but they’ve never received a response. Commissioner Charlotte Garrido said in an email to the Port Orchard Independent that the advisory board had voted to have the “hazards” removed, but that time would be allowed until more solutions could be found. She has received as many as six emails, she said, and hopes that community members who were interested in taking responsibility for the safe construction of jumps would step forward. She does have concern about the course. “Some issues that cause concern are that large hazardous objects are

used to build up the jumps and the jump distances and heights are problematic,” she wrote in an email. “The roadway is being undermined, the health of some trees is compromised, and there is no longer an adult serving as a liaison. “Some re-construction and/or demolition will be needed to make sure the track is safe for those who use it.” Garrido said she would ask the six who emailed her about keeping the bike jumps. Dunwiddie said the department looking for more than people saying that the jump course is nice and that kids utilize it. With the park department’s limited resources, he’s hoping for someone from the track to step forward with a comprehensive plan on how to fix the jumps and reign in the rogue park. “There are a lot of people saying it’s a nice facility and kids use it,” he said. “No one has offered to work with us. We need people to submit a plan and agree to a footprint. We are making sure there are certain standards for BMX.” Though the county’s Parks Advisory Board has voted to remove the track, Dunwiddie said he is trying to find a way to keep it. “We’re the parks department,” he said. “We don’t want to tear parks down, we want to build them up. There won’t be any bulldozers on Monday.” Still, a sweaty, dirty Olsen didn’t find much comfort this week in the park director’s promises. Everything he’s heard points to the jumps being torn down, he said. And until that day comes, along with sending emails, all he can do is dig out the jumps and occasionally fly over them, 4-feet high or not. “It frustrates me because there’s nothing we can do to stop them,” he said.

Liquor Control Board allows servers to train online New training method draws some criticism from Silverdale bartenders and servers By JJ Swanson jswanson@soundpublishing.com
“They need to be in-person,” said Heather Miller, server at Silverdale Red Robin. She chose to take her alcohol server training certification classes in a classroom rather than through a website. “You can’t ask a computer all the questions you might have, and a computer can’t see if someone is actually getting it,” Miller said. The Washington State Liquor Control Board announced Feb. 13 that eTIPS On Premise, a web course developed by Health Communications, Inc., will join six other online certification programs as an approved method of training servers and bartenders on proper procedures for
selling alcohol on premise. Servers in Silverdale said that the convenience of online certification can’t be beat, but some are concerned that the training quality is not the same without the “human element.” Previously, those that handled alcohol sales had to go through Mandatory Alcohol Server Training in-person to receive their class 12 mixology or class 13 server permit. The sessions involved videos demonstrating alcoholrelated fatalities, worksheets, role playing and an exam to make sure servers understood how to “sell alcohol responsibly” to customers. Anne Radford, spokeswoman for the liquor control board, compared the training style to a driver’s

education class. Servers learned how to check for valid ID, recognize signs of intoxication and learn other procedures of private alcohol sales. She said that moving the courses online does not take anything away from the material. “What we’re offering these businesses is convenience,” Radford said. “It is in the best interest of these establishments to minimize risk of fines, suspension of liquor licenses from potential violations and also outside lawsuits by having all their servers stay current.” Radford reported that seven private companies have been certified by the state to train alcohol servers online, and at the end of 2011, 25% of servers statewide became certified online through these companies. Ross Christofferson, manager of Silver City Brewery in Silverdale, said that he was certi-
fied recently through Len Riggs online training. “It was a little less interactive, and it didn’t have the victim aspect,” Christofferson said. The in-person classes in the past showed graphic images of alcohol-related injuries and encouraged class participation, he said. However, he added that the online format was “more thought out” and “structured” because the material was all prerecorded and outlined for the user. The biggest benefit was the convenience, Christofferson said. His last alcohol server training class was in Port Townsend which required him to drive an hour there, sit for three hours, and drive an hour back. The manager said that he will be recommending the online format to all the servers in his restaurant. Servers and bartenders must renew their certification every five years
and new hires must take MAST training within 60 days of their hire. Jim Sirotzki, manager of Hale’s Ale’s in Silverdale, said that the platform considers the “ bartender lifestyle” and will help many of his servers stay on top of their certificates. “It’s great because it works on my time schedule, and I think the material is the same,” Sirotzki said. “The classes where you have to go and sit are really, really boring.” The online certification sometimes takes longer than going to class, said Marshall Marquez, bartender at Red Robin. “Some sections get drawn out. There’s a section and a quiz, section, then quiz,” Marquez said. “Just when I thought it was done, there was a final exam, but I guess it’s ok because you can break it up to fit your work schedule.” Marquez took the online class when his
manager informed him that his certificate had expired and he would be taken off the schedule until he got it renewed. The Christmas holidays made it impossible for him to find an in-person class. Miller and Kristina Sylvester, a Red Robin server, said that they believe that it is easier to cheat through an online format. “Yeah, people are getting the answers right, but did they look them up on Wikipedia?” Miller said. “What’s to keep someone else from taking it?” Sylvester added. Radford said that the board will continue to offer both methods of training but believes that an increasing number of servers will recognize the value that online training which is “a new way for different learning needs.”
Program emphasizes training opportunities for low-wage workers
the program match, to a determined limit, what their employees invest. Workers can use the savings to fund educational or training programs. Workers who participate in the program must also participate in career counseling as well as create career plans. According to the new law, the Lifelong Learning Program is created under the direction of the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board, a nine-member body appointed by the governor, which represents business, labor, industry and government. The board oversees education and training programs targeted at Washington’s work force. The board intends to provide financial as well as educational resources to assist in the develop-
ment of the program and ensure its success. The measure grants the board the authority to work with financial institutions to set up the savings accounts and to market the program across the state. The program is entirely voluntary for both employers and employees. The Legislature recognizes the program as an employee benefit. Sen. Derek Kilmer (D – 26th District, Gig Harbor) compared the program to a 401(k) retirement plan. Businesses that are registered with the state are eligible to participate in the education savings program. Implementing the program has no fiscal impact on the state. The new program is effective June 7.

2012 Earth Day nominations sought The Kitsap County Solid Waste Division is sponsoring the 20th annual Earth Day awards. Presented to individual citizens, organizations and businesses for their innovative environmental programs or projects, nominations are sought for exemplary environmental leadership in sustainability, waste reduction, recycling and hazardous waste management.

for Hazardous Waste Program and Excellence in Env i ron menta l Leadership. Submissions must be received by the end of business today. Self nominations are encouraged. Award winners will be recognized at the Board of County Commissioners meeting on April 23 with a reception following.
Fine-free day at Kitsap Regional Libraries In honor of the Bainbridge Public Library Buildling’s 50th anniversary, all branches of the Kitsap Regional Library will waive fines for items returned on Sat., March 17. Overdue fines and fees for lost items will not be forgiven on items that have been returned earlier or those that have been referred to an outside collection agency. The goal of the amnesty day is to encourage the return of overdue library materials. According to Jeff Brody, director of community relations for KRL, the library would rather have overdue items returned than have to collect replacement fees to purchase a new item. “As we move to a new integrated library system the end of April, we want both our user and collection records to be as clean as possible,” said Carol Schuyler, Director of Support Services. Patrons who have overdue items from the library are asked to search for any missing books, maga-

After Marshall speaks, attendees are invited to join in a question and answer period. An opportunity to network before closing is anticipated. The event is hosted by Field’s End, founded in 2002 to promote and support the art, craft and profession of writing. The nonprofit group is affiliated with the Bainbridge Public Library. Roundtables are presented on the third Tuesday of each month in the library’s meeting room. They are open to writers of all levels and only an interest in the writing process is required.

state will further reduce supplies. British Petrolium is a critical part of our fuel supply, processing 230,000 barrels of crude each day. Internationally, Iran, the world’s third largest oil producer, has cut off oil supplies to England and France in retaliation for international sanctions against its nuclear program and threatens to expand the embargo to all of Europe. So, what is the solution? In truth, there is no “quick fix” that will immediately reduce prices at the pump, and marching the oil company CEOs up to Congress and the White House to dress them down about high prices and profits does nothing
to solve the problem. It may be good election-year grandstanding, but it deflects meaningful discussion about long-term solutions. There are things we can do to reduce the chance that we’ll find ourselves in this pickle again. First, we need to ensure that we have adequate refining capacity to meet growing demand and to compensate for lost production if a hurricane shuts down our Gulf Coast refineries or an accident puts a major refinery offline. Second, we need to develop our domestic oil reserves to create a secure supply of crude oil. Opponents complain it will be years before those reserves show up at the pump, but they’ve been saying that for 30 years. If we had developed those reserves 30 years ago, we would have
a stable domestic supply of crude oil by now. Yes, we live in a global marketplace and oil producers may put U.S. oil on the world market, but any increase in world oil supplies moderates prices, regardless of where it’s sold. Third, we need to expedite approval of the Keystone Pipeline to bring more oil from our friends in Canada to Gulf Coast refineries. Remember, Canada historically has been our best friend. Perhaps most importantly, our political leaders, from President Obama down to local elected officials, need to understand the link between a stable energy supply and a strong economy. A secure supply of reasonably priced energy is essential if our economy is to provide jobs and fairly priced consumer goods for
struggling families. About the Author Don Brunell is the president of the Association of Washington Business.

Ignition Interlock Device manufacturers, vendors, technicians and providers have agreed to pay other fees that are estimated to rise up to $877,750 in fiscal year 2013. The money would be deposited into the Highway Safety Account controlled by the Washington State Patrol Impaired Driving Section Projects. According to Goodman, a stronger statewide compliance program is expected to emerge under terms of the new rules. “State patrol will hire new staff to go around and make sure that the drivers who are supposed to have the devices in their cars, actually do,” said Goodman. Fifteen states — Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, New York, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Virginia — now adding Washington, require sentenced drunk drivers to undergo an Ignition Breathalyzer. In addition to these fees people convicted of driving while drunk must now pay $2,500 (originally $1,000) toward emergency response costs if applicable. The state’s number of deaths from alcohol-related car wrecks has decreased since 2009, according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, but that could be because the national average of general traffic related deaths has decreased as well. The latest data shows the state’s DUI deaths make up about 37 percent of traffic fatalities. There is an estimated 10,000 people killed and 350,000 injured in the United States each year, according to a Mothers Against Drunk Driving statement issued last week. Among other technicalities, Goodman’s bill expands the definition for a DUI to include huffing chemical substances among the list of drugs one could take while driving under the influence. He said this definition was amended because the original law had a loophole, in that, prosecutors could not adequately charge for a DUI if the defendant had been driving upon inhalation of chemical vapors. Under terms of the new law felony, DUI cases are kept as public records. Formerly, people who had completed the terms of their felony DUI conviction could have their records sealed. The DUI reform takes effect Aug. 1, 2012.

Anthony Wayland, 24, of Kingston has volunteered to take care of Billy Johnson Skate Park. The county lacks resources to care for the park.
Kipp Robertson / Kitsap Week
Skater takes park’s needs into his own hands BY KIPP ROBERTSON Kitsap Week
K
11:00 AM - 4:00 PM
MARCH 31, 2012
INGSTON — Since the Billy Johnson Skate Park was built more than 10 years ago, the community has sought a caretaker. The search is over. The skate park is adopted. Long-time skate park user Anthony Wayland, 24, took it upon himself to help maintain the park. Though he has some long-term goals, he’s taking his time. “We’re starting with baby steps right now,” Wayland said. For now, keeping the park clean and making it appealing to a wider-range of people is enough to keep his plate full. Wayland met
with Kitsap County Parks Stewardship Coordinator Lori Raymaker on Monday, and she announced Wayland is a steward of the park. Officially, she said, he is considered an adopt-apark group. In February, Raymaker told Kingston’s Village Green Metropolitan Park Commission it can no longer maintain the same level of park service it once had. Wayland’s enthusiasm for taking care of the skate park is a welcome change. “That’s one park we have struggled with for years,” Raymaker said. “Now with their support … It’s just amazing.” Though he is the only official volunteer right now, there are others who have
“Even if I move, I would like to be able to come back and shred my hometown park.” — Anthony Wayland
shown interest and have already been helping out. Because it is not certain who will continue to volunteer with Wayland, their names are not disclosed. In the past, Raymaker said high school groups helped care for the park. But those groups have graudated, and with the demands on current students, she said it’s difficult to find ongoing support.
MILITARY APPRECIATION DAY AND INFORMATIONAL FAIR SAVE THE DATE!
Kitsap County spent $920,372 in acquiring the skatepark, which sits on 1 acre of land. Wayland does not want to see that money go to waste. “We spent [$920,372], I don’t want to see it get bulldozed or destroyed,” he said. The Kingston Citizens Advisory Council Parks and Trails Committee began searching for stewardship since the park was built, committee member Walt Elliott said. The issue of park maintenance has always been an issue with the community, he said. Now, skateboarders are “taking ownership of the park, which I think is exciting for us,” Elliott said.The key to any park, he added, was for those who use them to be the caretakers. Raymaker echoed Elliott. “It’s really nice to have a group utilizing the park and have them step forward.” Already, Wayland and a few others have taken it upon themselves to pressure wash the skatepark, in an attempt to remove unwanted graffiti. They have also installed a trash can; now chained to a pole.
AT KITSAP PAVILION, KITSAP COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS
In the near future Wayland would like to host two skateboard competitions. Money, he said, would be put into a skatepark fund that can only be touched for skatepark-related issues. To host a competition the county's risk management and legal departments will need to review a special event application request. Any money raised could go toward park renovations and maintenance, Raymaker said. As she understands it, Wayland wants any competitions to be family oriented. Wayland’s five-year plan for the park is to have seating installed and a water fountain. He would also like to see a roof over the skate park. While accomplishing all, or even some, of his goals could be a ways off, Wayland would like to at least get the wheels turning on skatepark maintenance and expansion. He wants the graffiti to be art, not rude signs, comments or other tags. The regular skaters at the park are not the ones doing the tagging, he said, but tagging in the skatepark and around town end up bringing negativity back to the skating community. Wayland’s rapport with the skating community will help curb unwanted graffiti and behavior, Raymaker said. She will continue to
work with the park’s new steward, helping guide him on what he can and cannot do. So far, she said, it's worked out. Having someone the community can go to discuss issues or ideas with the skate park is an added benefit. “He’s gotten a lot of support from the skating community,” she said. Wayland would like to see the skatepark attract more skaters, including families who have children who want to skate. He wants people there. In the ongoing effort to make Kingston more of a destination and less of a ferry landing, Elliott said the skatepark could be a useful element. The park can help in serving visitors of all ages. In the mission to help with the upkeep of the skatepark, a Facebook page was setup (search Kingston Skatepark). Wayland said he welcomes input from the community. Construction on the Kingston skatepark was completed in 2002. Wayland has ridden the park off-and-on ever since. Even if he is not in the area in the next few years, he wants to know it will be there to skate on. “Even if I move, I would like to be able to come back and shred my hometown park,” he said.

Sailor is a 10 yr old 20lb cat who came to us
due to her owners’ divorce. Everyone who meets Sailor falls in love with her. When she got to the Cattery she found a spot where she could keep an eye on the others and me without being out in the open. The next morning when I got there she came charging at me. I took a step back....she got about a foot from me and flopped over on her side for a belly rub. She loves to be petted and being with people. She is a bit hissy with the other cats if they get too far into her space but she doesn’t go after any of them. She prefers a lap or a cushy bed in the window. Sailor will be at the Poulsbo Petco hoping to meet her new family this week.

A slogan for our times: Keep Kitsap Kind
A
s I end my time at the newspaper this week, I realize there is a lot I will miss. Seeing my byline makes my heart flutter. And when strangers stop me and ask, “Don’t you write for the newspaper?,” I’m flattered to be recognized. But more than anything, I will miss the opportunity to interview some of the most interesting people in Kitsap. These extraordinary people haven’t been featured on Oprah or Ellen. And they probably won’t receive the Nobel Peace Prize. They are just good people going about their business in a quiet manner, with no expectation of accolades or cheers. They make Kitsap a better place just by being themselves. One of my first articles was about Kirk Payne, a stellar Salvation Army bell ringer who has worked the same post outside of Ralph’s Red Apple Market in Bremerton for several Christmas seasons. The cheerful and animated Payne knows what
it’s like to be down and out. He was once an addict and lived on the street. The Salvation Army helped him turn his life around and now Payne is helping others — both by raising money and spreading kindness — one ring at a time. Then there was an article on the Field-Bennett family who open their hearts and their home to young foster children in need. They’ve been known to answer a call in the middle of the night and rush to pick up a child who needs a safe place to stay. “Those babies hold a special soft spot with us,” Kendra Field said in the article. “The little ones just want to be cared for. It’s when you are needed the most.” The Field-Bennett family shares their kindness one bottle feeding, one lullaby at a time. Jim Strycharski was a bit shy when I interviewed him, as he seemed to think he didn’t do anything remarkable. When he’s not working the swing shift at Bangor, Strycharski can be found walking Marty, his Great
Pyrenees dog, through the halls of Martha & Mary. The gentle giant nuzzles up to patients and is a highlight of the day for those confined to a wheelchair or bed. What seems like such a simple gesture to Strycharski — and routine for Marty — has a profound effect on others. A woman on an oxygen sensor was noticeably happy at the sight of polar bear-looking canine. “Just seeing that dog raises your oxygen level,” said her nurse. Strycharski and Marty are sharing their kindness one hello and wag at a time. The past month has put Kitsap in the national headlines and, unfortunately, the news hasn’t been positive. The stories have been horrific and have many of us are asking, “What’s happening in Kitsap?” But even amid the sadness and bewilderment, I continue to witness kind acts and thoughtful gestures. Like the young man who helped me pick up spilled groceries all over the wet parking lot. He even

A taste of Tuscany in the Pacific NW BY ANDY PERDUE AND ERIC DEGERMAN
Wine Press Northwest
S
angiovese, the mostplanted grape in Italy and particularly famous in Tuscany, is little more than a niche wine in the Pacific Northwest. Yet many Northwest wineries are making delicious wines from the red grape, and it is gaining a following with wine lovers. Sangiovese is the primary component in Chianti, a red wine made in Tuscany, especially the Chianti Classico region around Florence. It finds its greatest expression in the Tuscan town of Montalcino, where it makes Brunello de Montalcino, as well as the nearby hill town of Montepulciano, where it goes into the fancifully named Vino Nobile de Montepulciano. Sangiovese tends to grow well in many climates and is prolific in its grape production — one reason Italian winemakers love it so much. In Washington, grape growers have planted Sangiovese since at least the early 1990s, though it never caught on big. In 2010, just 800 tons were harvested, making it the seventh-most-popular red grape in the state. Many Washington wineries, most notably Barnard Griffin and Maryhill, make beautiful dry rosés out of the grape, thanks to the grape’s naturally high acidity and bright red fruit flavors.

In 2010, 800 tons of Sangiovese were harvested, making it the seventh-most popular red grape in the state As one might easily guess, Sangiovese pairs well with Italian fare, especially lasagna, spaghetti
and meatballs, pizza and chicken Parmesan. It also goes nicely with grilled meats and vegetables, soups (including minestrone) and stews. While Sangiovese still remains a fairly rare grape in the Northwest, it should not be difficult to find a few examples and explore them for yourself. Just for fun, open a bottle of one of the wines below alongside a reputable Chianti Classico, such as those made by
Antinori, which co-owns Col Solare (with Ste. Michelle Wine Estates) on Washington’s Red Mountain. Ask your favorite wine merchant for these recently released Sangioveses or contact the wineries directly. ■ Le Chateau Winery 2008 Sangiovese, Columbia Valley, $18: It opens with very appealing nose blending fruit and oak influences, running from red cherry, currants and Crasins to chai spice, vanilla, coconut and smoky mocha. The flavors focus on the Chukar Cherry blend of chocolate and cherries, backed by more ripe cranberries, violets and chai spice. ■ Arbor Crest Wine Cellars 2009 Wahluke Slope Vineyard Sangiovese, Wahluke Slope, $16: This friendly wine offers a greeting of cranberries, blueberry and Cinnamon Bear candy get a backing of smoky cherry, minerality and leather. The palate is loaded up front with flavors of cranberry jelly, blueberry, Van cherry and red currants. ■ Snake River Winery 2009 Arena Valley Vineyard Estate Sangiovese, Snake River Valley, $20: This beautiful Sangiovese opens with aromas of pomengranates, red plums, cranberries and black cherries, followed by expressive flavors of cherries, chocolate and even a hint of lime. The focus of this wine is on fruit and acidity,
with tannin and oak playing mere complementary roles on the palate. ■ Mannina Cellars 2009 Seven Hills Vineyard Sangiovese, Walla Walla Valley, $22: This opens with aromas that reminded us of a cherry pie that had just come out of the oven, as well as plums, cranberries and Belgian chocolate. On the palate, this wine is tightly integrated, with flavors of black licorice, red currants, cola, chocolate and a touch of oak. ■ Desert Wind Winery 2008 Sacagawea Vineyard Sangiovese, Wahluke Slope, $18: Chocoatecovered cranberry, fig and mint tones carry spiciness from a year in American oak and bring along zesty acidity for this foodfriendly wine from estate fruit. ■ Airfield Estates 2009 Estate Sangiovese, Yakima Valley, $28: Lush strawberry jam, black cherry, chocolate-covered raspberry and cinnamon aromas don’t mislead on the flavor profile. The structure shows lots of extraction, richness and barrel influence as the tannins muscle through the acidity. Hints of crushed leaf should add to its ability to pair with a bowl of minestrone or osso bucco. This wine is available only at the winery. — Andy Perdue and Eric Degerman are the editors of Wine Press Northwest magazine. Visit www.winepressnw.com/freshpress.
around town School stages Spanish pilgrimage BAINBRIDGE — Students at The Island School will stage a Spanish pilgrimage March 19, 1:30–3 p.m., at Battle Point Park. Students are taking the pilgrimage to learn about the arts and culture of Spain. The trail at Battle Point Park will serve as the popular pilgrimage route of Camino de Santiago, which ends at the city of Santiago de Compostela. The pilgrim’s passport is a document stamped with official stamps and serves as a certificate of accomplishment when completed. Students will stop at various checkpoints to receive their stamps just like the real pilgrims. Students will participate in various activities at the checkpoints: learn about Spanish artists, run with the bulls, play soccer and taste tapas. At 2:30 p.m., alumni parent Chuck Faddis will entertain pilgrims and visitors with his bagpipes, called “gaita” in northern Spain. On March 29, 5:30 p.m. in the school’s Webster Hall, the celebration will culminate with flamenco dancing and musical performances by students. Student-made arts and crafts inspired by the study of Spain will be available for public viewing before and after the celebration. The Island School is located at 8553 NE Day Road, Bainbridge Island.

Heel Spurs. Any medical term with the word “spur” in it sounds uncomfortable, especially if that spur is on the bottom of your foot. A heel spur is a bony growth on the bottom of the heel bone. It can produce pain when standing, walking or putting any other kind of pressure on the heel. It is caused by calcium deposits made because tissue on the bottom of the feet pulls away from the heel. The condition is more common in people with flat feet and high arches, and women are more likely to suffer from it than men because of the types of shoes women tend to wear. Your podiatrist can recommend treatment options, including but not limited to orthotics and/or surgery to alleviate discomfort from heel spurs. New patients welcome and seen on the same day. Early & late appointments available. Most insurances accepted.

Lawyers touted for court vacancy: The Kitsap County Bar Association voted two longtime Port Orchard lawyers as among the most capable candidates to fill two vacant seats on the Kitsap County Superior Court. Steve Dixon and Greg Wall placed first and third respectively in the Kitsap County Bar Associations informal Judicial Appointment Recommendation Poll for February. The seats were left vacant by the death of Theodore Spearman in January and Judge Russell Hartman stepping down at the end of this month. Kitsap County lawyers cast 112 ballots in the poll, which asked participants to rank the top three of the 11 lawyers vying for the judicial appointment. Dixon was given a weighted score of 253, Wall 168.

School board member resigns after DUI: John Tawresey resigned from his District 3 seat on the school board March 6, and board members said afterward they were sad to see him go. Tawresey stepped down four days after asking for a leave of absence following his arrest on hit-and-run and driving under the influence charges. Tawresey was arrested by Bainbridge Police Feb. 29 after he allegedly hit two other vehicles with his Ford F350 pickup truck near San Carlos Restaurant on Madison Avenue. Witnesses said he tried to leave the scene after the crash, but bystanders blocked his exit and called 911. He pleaded not guilty to DUI and hit-and-run. A court date has been set for May 3.
