Life in Retsil
Callow property targeted for cleanup Chieftain motel isn’t only nuisance property on city’s list By KEVAN MOORE kmoore@soundpublishing.com

The dinning hall serves residents in the cafeteria or to rooms for those unable to walk to meals. Right, 16-year resident of the Washington Veterans Home at Restil, Bill Nickerson stands at the boundary of the old Restil and the new. Nickerson said he was once not happy to live at the veterans home near Port Orchard, but has found happiness with all the changes and new buildings in recent years.
Veterans at home in local 102 year-old facility By Chris Chancellor cchancellor@soundpublishing.com
Bill Nickerson cringes at the memory when he moved from his native Seattle to Washington Veterans Home at Retsil in 1996. It was a much different setup than veterans living there now know. “I thought the thing was going to fall down around us,” Nickerson said. It’s no longer Nickerson’s concern regarding the Washington State Veterans Home at Retsil, which was originally constructed in 1910. In 2005,
the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs finished a $47 million project adding 240 new beds and 170,000 square feet to the veterans’ home overlooking the water. Nickerson, 79, is among the longest tenured residents at Retsil, which is one of three veterans homes in the state. The other two are in Orting and Spokane; and a significant effort is being made by some in the Legislature and the state VA to get a home built in Walla Walla. For many of Retsil’s 263 veteran residents, the home and its bluff-top grounds is their final living arrangement in life. Nickerson experienced a lot in life, and of course during combat. But, there is one element of life in Retsil that fazes him; death.
He twice has walked in to discover his roomate had died. Now the old sailor has become wary of becoming too close with fellow veterans living at the home. For those reasons he now lives in a single room, which became available after another veteran died. While those scenarios are uncontrollable, Nickerson and several other veterans mostly were effusive in their praise of the care they receive at Retsil. Richard and Vivian Best, both are 85, started life in Restil in January 2011 after she suffered a stroke. Both initially had some reservations moving into the veterans home. “I couldn’t open a door when I came here,” Vivian Best said. “The nurses See RETSIL, A12
The old Chieftain Motel isn’t the only property sitting at the top of the City of Bremerton’s cleanup list. Following a brief executive session during a Weds., Sept. 19, business meeting, the city council voted unanimously to allow City Attorney Roger Lubovich to pursue enforcement and legal action regarding the motel and a separate property at 1926 North Callow Ave. Lubov ich sa id that the police have responded to 78 calls to the hotel in the last eight months and that the new owners have so far failed to obtain a certificate of occupancy and therefore can’t get a business license through the city. In addition, county prosecutors are now targeting the motel with legal action for failing state Dept. of Health inspections and lacking a transient accommodation license. Lubovich said that the county’s effort to get an injunction to close the motel is separate from the city’s efforts to bring it into compliance. “The owner has been working with us, taking it day by day,” Lubovich said. “Our highest priority is the safety issue. If some-
body gets hurt and we know about it, we’ve got issues.” Lubovich said that he got a call from Kitsap County Prosecutor Russ Hauge about the state violations shortly after the city began targeting the Chieftain for cleanup. “It was just coincidental that they came up at the same time,” Lubovich said. The Callow Avenue property cleanup is one that the city is, so far, flying solo on. Lubovich described it as a residence that’s been sitting empty for two years that used to have a car repair shop in a big shed in its backyard. “There’s trash all over the place and it’s in a nice neighborhood,” Lubovich said. “There are barrels of stuff back there and we don’t know if its got oil in it or what. We just can’t accept it the way it’s sitting.” Lubovich said that a man named Robert Bottorff is listed as the property owner on the deed, but efforts to locate him have been unsuccessful. “We’ll probably have to file some sort of lawsuit to get authority to go clean it up,” Lubovich said. “We want to try and clean up the outside and secure the builduing and then we’ll see what happens.”

VA says lack of volunteers is root of problem BY Greg Skinner gskinner@soundpublishing.com
Last spring, Jeff Honeycutt had a problem with his volunteerbased van transportation system. As director of Volunteer Services for the regional VA healthcare system, including American Lake, he oversees a network of vans running from many communities in Western Washington to the hospitals in Seattle and Tacoma from the Bremerton Community Based Outpatient Clinic. Until that “problem” cropped up, Honeycutt had not known the Bremerton Disabled American Veterans van system was out of compliance with VA directives. Beyond following directives, as far as he is concerned his changes made the system more “reliable.” Many veterans in Bremerton have said before that change, theirs was considered one of the best such DAV van systems in the state. The change came in June when Honeycutt moved the ride scheduler from Bremerton to Tacoma, took two vans away, stopped delivering veterans from home to the Bremerton clinic (the ride nexus to hospitals and medical specialists), instituted a 5-day advance reservation system and put the one remaining van under the control of a DAV van system running out Port Angeles. He created a schedule with rides to American Lake two days a week and Seattle on the others. Veterans still have to call and schedule the ride. Following the changes, Kitsap County veterans developed a problem with the transportation system, saying they no longer had access to control their vans, which were in part paid for locally. As a result of the changes, vets were missing appointments and had no chance to take advantage of lastSee VETERANS, A14

Chamber failed to confirm 6th Dist. forum with candidates Driscoll says Kilmer avoiding joint appearances By KEVAN MOORE kmoore@soundpublishing.com
A Port Orchard Chamber of Commerce candidates forum scheduled for Wednesday featuring 6th Congressional District candidates Democrat Derek Kilmer and Republican Bill Driscoll was never actually scheduled. Last week the chamber released a “cancellation” notice about the forum saying that one candidate pulled out. Spokespeople for the chamber have sense refused to say which candidate pulled out. Kilmer campaign officials say that they never committed to attending the chamber’s September 26 event and offered to try and reschedule a different date with the chamber. “The Kilmer Campaign has never cancelled any debate or forum,” said Matthew Randazzo, Kilmer’s communications director. “Every debate or forum we have confirmed our ability to attend we have attended. The Kilmer campaign has received an incredibly high volume of requests for appearances over the next month, and it is impossible for us to make every one across the breadth of our very large district.” Alex Hays, a spokesman for the Driscoll campaign, said that both candidates have tight schedules and cannot make every event, but said the Kilmer campaign’s scheduling excuses are a way of avoiding joint appearances. “If you’d like to avoid joint appearances, and create less of a stink about it, you simply refuse to schedule joint appearances,” Hays said. Randazzo emphasized that Kilmer sometimes has to decline invitations but offers to reschedule events at a more convenient time. “Both candidates have had to decline appearances that the other candidate confirmed due to scheduling concerns,” Randazzo said. Hays said that strategy, rather than canceling agreed

County budget changes shape Self-insurance program cuts millions in costs By KEVAN MOORE kmoore@soundpublishing.com
Kitsap County Commissioners this week officially approved the establishment of an individual self-insurance health and benefits program for county employees and retired sheriff’s office deputies. It’s a move that officials estimate will save the county $12.5 million during the next six years. Penny Starkey, Kitsap County Human Resources manager, noted that advantages include lower administrative costs, greater control over the design of the benefits program, easier access to utilization and claims data, improvements in the ability to evaluate health benefit costs and implement cost containment measures, improved cash flow generated by keeping funds in-house until needed for payment of claims and avoidance of state insurance premium taxes. Starkey also said that employees won’t see much of a difference in the way that they get their benefits and the county will still work with Group Health and Primera. “One thing that will not happen if we go to this self-funded program is our employees will see no difference in the offering of their benefits or accessing their benefits,” Starkey said. Starkey also noted that a self insurance approach is not new to Kitsap County, as workers compensation, risk management and
unemployment insurance are all self funded programs. She also said that several other Washington cities and counties already have self-insurance health and benefits programs in place. Starkey noted that under the new model, some of the savings that will be realized are due to the fact that the county won’t have to pay a 2 percent premium tax or a .5 percent Washington state health insurance pool tax. “By the county taking on this responsibility, not only are we not paying these surcharges or taxes on the premiums, but what we’re also not doing is paying the insurance companies basically the benefit of holding our money,” said Commissioner Josh Brown. Brown also said that the “self-insurance change is going to have a profound impact on our organization for the better” and noted that a tremendous amount of work went into making the change. “When we’re in our evening meetings adopting a complicated item like this, it may only take us a few minutes to make a motion and adopt it, but I think just on this one item, let alone all the other labor and benefits issues that we deal with, the board spends countless hours in executive session working through these issues and meeting with our staff — countless (hours),” he said. In supporting the new insurance scheme, commissioner Charlotte Garrido noted that the new approach still protects employees and their coverage. Commissioner Rob Gelder also said that the change is the right thing to do for county employees and the right thing to do by way of saving money for taxpayers.

IN OUR OPINION
By this time next month the sun will rise 1 hour and 39 minutes later than today’s post 7 a.m. climb above the horizon. Just a few weeks into the school year, it’s just barely pass sunrise when yellow busses travel around county and city roads to pick up children for the rides to area schools. Drivers heading for work each morning would do well to watch out for the little ones during the dark hours of the and again in the afternoon when most school age children in the nation are killed in traffic-related accidents. To encourage they’re safety here are some tips for you and your children from SAFE KIDS, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Teach children to arrive at the bus stop early, stay out of the street, wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before approaching the street, watch for cars and avoid the driver’s blind spot. Tell them to keep away from the curb and take five big steps away from the road and wait until the school bus driver says to board before approaching the vehicle. Plan a walking route to school or the bus stop. Choose the most direct way with the fewest street crossings and, if possible, with intersections that have crossing guards. Once on the bus, go straight to your seat, sit facing forward and follow the instructions of the bus driver. Look both ways for cars as you exit the bus. Once you are off the bus, take five giant steps from the vehicle. If it is necessary to cross the street, look left-right-left to make sure no cars are coming and wait for the driver to signal it’s safe to cross. Walk on the sidewalk when possible. If there is no sidewalk, keep off the road as much as possible and walk facing traffic. Don’t engage in horseplay. Never push or shove others when you’re walking near a road. Be sure that your child knows his or her home phone number and address, your work number, the number of another trusted adult and how to call 911 for emergencies.

LETTER
Morning safety
I favor Forbes I am pleased to offer this letter of support for Jennifer Forbes, who is a candidate for Kitsap County Superior Court. I have known Jennifer for a number of years, and have been impressed with her professionalism and commitment to excellence in her legal activities. She is a person of integrity, and exhibits the highest of ethical standards. I am also impressed with Jennifer’s credentials
and judicial experience, which uniquely qualifies her for this position. However, in addition to her legal experience, Jennifer has also demonstrated significant involvement in our community, both in volunteer activities, as well as community service. Frankly, I can’t think of a more qualified and worthy candidate for this important judicial position, and I enthusiastically recommend her election. Carl R. Johnson, Bremerton

And science is now revealing that along with focused energy, some dogs have more intelligence than we ever really understood. Here’s the story: A border collie in South Carolina named “Chaser” was adopted by a research psychologist after the man retired and had free time. John W. Pilley took Chaser home when she was 8-weeks of age and started intensive, 5-hours per day training of the young pup. For three years the dog worked with Pilley and a few others, learning a variety of commands and behaviors through the process of game-playing, with nothing more than verbal praise as a reward for a job well done. Only a border collie would love so much schooling, but Chaser flourished in her new life. What’s impressive is how much Pilley was able to teach the collie to ultimately do. Pilley acquired second-hand stuffed toys and went to work teaching Chaser to fetch individual toys by name.
responds to situations that might overwhelm a 4-year old human. Let’s say you put a new toy among the ones Chaser knows – a toy she has never seen before. Then you ask her to fetch and give her a specific name she’s never heard before. Chaser goes to her toys, looks them all over, and apparently thinks pretty deeply about her work. She then selects the toy she’s never seen and doesn’t know. This is called “learning by exclusion” and is the mark of some serious thinking in her furry noggin. It’s not clear that border collies really need to be so smart. The commands they follow for a shepherd rounding up sheep are not so complex as learning by exclusion, nor do the collies need to know thousands of individual sheep names. But, somehow, it seems that in the process of breeding border collies for their indefatigable willingness to work for us around the clock, we have created truly thinking canines. One thing seems clear.
The U.S. Senate could solve a taxation nightmare Have you ever traveled to another state for your job, perhaps to attend a business meeting or a conference? Most people have. But few people realize that they may owe income taxes in that other state. In all, 41 states levy a tax on the income earned by nonresident employees during their time in the state, even if they’re just attending a conference. Each state calculates its tax differently — 24 states levy the tax from the very first day, while 17 others, including Oregon, Idaho and California, set thresholds of how long the nonresident employee can work before the tax liability is triggered. Needless to say, this is an administrative nightmare for employers, particularly those with multiple locations or employees who travel frequently. It is the employer’s responsibility to calculate and withhold the taxes from their

Cross checking travel vouchers can’t be done automatically either, because travel reimbursements and payroll are two separate systems. Because of the difficulties involved, most employers are not in compliance. According to The Council On State Taxation, because the information must be tracked and collected manually, employers with workers who travel frequently would need to add two or three employees just to comply with the law, adding $150,000 or more to the budget.

Chief cleans up boardwalk By Kevan Moore kmoore@soundpublishing.com
Mick Hersey is on a mission to beautify Bremerton. Earlier this month, the retired U.S. Navy Senior Chief spearheaded an effort involving 60 sailors from the USS Ronald Reagan and the naval hospital, to repaint the utilities building on Bremerton’s boardwalk. The building was originally painted white with green striping. It is now traditional haze grey with a dark grey railing, doors and accent stripes. Hersey and the sailors also cleaned up the USS Franklin memorial plaques on the side of the building. “The USS Franklin lost 913 men during World War II” and their names are etched in granite on three plaques that adorn the walls of this building, along with memorials of two Medal of Honor Recipients on their ship,” Hersey said. “We honor those men and their ship by painting this building to resemble an aircraft carrier island structure in these colors.” Hersey said a “13,” the
ship’s hull number, will also eventually be added to the side of the building. “People are really gonna notice it and are more likely to go back on top and use it as a viewpoint,” he said. Last year from February to May he and his niece, Tameka Hulsen, redid all of the plaques on the boardwalk. “After I finished that, I started looking around town,” he said. “With connections I’ve got in the Navy, I said why don’t we start cleaning up the rest?” Originally, Hersey said he was going to enlist the help of sailors from the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis. But she found herself underway in the Middle East months ahead of schedule and sailors from the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan stepped in to help, he said. In addition to the work on the boardwalk, Hersey and the sailors have repainted and touched up “Hal’s Corner” at Sheridan and Warren Avenue where the anchor from the USS Bremerton sits along with two 40 mm guns. They’ve also

Petty Officer 2nd Class Samantha Hayes left for the Arctic Circle Aug. 21 as part of the Coast Guard’s Operation Arctic Shield mission. Hayes’ job is to track surface contacts with radar and maintain communications with small boats, maintaining communications with aircraft as well as track them on radar. Operation Arctic Shield 2012 will gives the Coast Guard, and Bertholf, an opportunity to test its abilities to ensure the right
resources are available to conduct maritime safety and security operations in the region. “I’m thrilled for the opportunity to protect our resources while helping to maintain the tribal traditions,” said Hayes. “It’s refreshing to be in an area where we have a long, positive history with the local fishermen and we do our best to maintain that good relationship.” The Coast Guard performs 11 separate missions in U.S. waters. During Operation Arctic Shield, attentions will focus on ports, waterways and coastal security, search
and rescue, navigation aids as well as marine mammal safety. The Coast Guard is the nation’s lead agency for maritime safety, security and stewardship. The Coast Guard has a long history working in Alaska dating back to the Revenue Cutter Service shortly after President Abraham Lincoln bought the country’s largest state from Russia the 1860’s. Alaska Native partners are a vital part of Operation Arctic Shield and the Coast Guard values their knowledge and expertise to reach common goals.

Kitsap County’s unemployment rate increases slightly in August Staff report
Kitsap County’s unemployment rate rose nearly half a percentage point in August. But Elizabeth Court, who watches the county’s economy for the state Department of Employment Security, attributes the increase from 7.3 to 7.7 percent unemployment to the loss of summer jobs. The state average is 8.5 percent. “We do tend to see the summer unemployment rate drop down,” she said. “It’s just the same for winter hiring for the holidays.” The county also lost 500 jobs in August from the previous month, but Court said
600 jobs losses came from government jobs at the local level. “We actually gained 100 private-sector jobs, which is very positive,” she said, adding that the gains were distributed throughout the county. “We want to continue to see that grow.” Kitsap had about 82,500 jobs in August, which is about 600 fewer than the previous year. Court said most of those losses occurred in the public sector and construction. The latter recovered somewhat in August with the addition of 200 jobs. She said the county’s labor force, which consists of approximately 120,930 individuals, remains similar to July. Court said that consists

of people working within Kitsap and those who live here, but commute elsewhere for work. She said about 20 percent of the county’s workforce have jobs outside of Kitsap. “The unemployment rate is down from last year, but that basically points to people commuting outside of the county,” Court said. New claims for unemployment insurance dropped from 1,029 to 851 from July to August, while continuing unemployment claims dropped from 2,204 to 1,974 during that span. “I think overall we’re seeing positive signs throughout the county,” Court said. “In general, the county is doing better.”

Whale art project combines art and science STAFF REPORT
Next month’s Whale Project at Olympic College Bremerton will build a life-sized baby
grey whale with the help of an interdisciplinary team of art, science and trade students. The team is building the whale out of recycled and found materials,
many of which represent environmental dangers affecting the whales. Starting Oct. 4, the opening reception will show the whale along with information about
the life-cycle of a baby grey whale and the dangers posed by plastics and other anthropogenic debris that exists in marine environments. The Gallery at OC
strives to be a leader in the presentation of contemporary visual arts in Kitsap County, while also providing the students of Olympic College with training in the essential skills of arts management, display, and marketing,” said OC art professor Marie Weichman.
The show will run through October, closing Friday, November 2, at 4 p.m. The Gallery is open 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Friday or by appointment and is located in Art Building A on the Olympic College Bremerton campus.

Kitsap county sheriff’s office spreading their resources By William Lewis wlewis@soundpublishing.com
With less money to spread around, the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office is trying to do more with its basic assets. Because of budget constraints, the agency focuses on its core mis-
sion of 911 response, patrols and running the jail. Sheriff ’s deputies serving in capacities other than patrol, within the marine units, bicycle units, the S.W.A.T. team and even traffic deputies are often being called out of those slots to perform the calls to service, also
known as 911 response calls or basic patrol. “All in all, we are short 15 deputies,” spokesperson Deputy Scott Wilson said. “We have to pull bodies from basic units. We don’t have enough money to fill these other entire units twenty-four seven. We don’t move
them every day. People want more stability in their job assignments, so the sheriff ’s office gives them as much prior notice as possible.” Wilson said that the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office gradually lost 15 employment slots over the years. All deputies are trained as patrolmen and for basic 911 response, so there was no point to adding new positions that weren’t going to last. “If they call them to the scene of the crime, they will call a traffic unit

Wilson said that all seven deputies in the traffic unit are capable of traffic safety enforcement and that all seven deputies in the traffic unit can investigate collisions up to the advanced level of collision investigation, but that there are three traffic collision investigators that are trained in traffic collision reconstruction, which is required for investigating serious injury and fatality collisions. Wilson added that the spreading around
of resources within the sheriff ’s office during tough economic times is not unlike a football coach that decides where he needs his best players at a given time. “It’s like saying I’ll put my wide receiver on the left and I want this one on the right and I want this one closest to the line of scrimmage. There is a minimum manning for the sheriff ’s office based upon population and demand of calls for service,” Wilson said. “We’re moving our assets around.”

RETSIL CONTINUED FROM A1
work hard to keep your spirits up. I’m so thankful to God that I came here.” Don Olson, 89, who served in the Army from 1943-46, came to Retsil two years ago after his wife fell and fractured her hip. Similar to Richard Best, Olson knew he would not be able to care for his wife alone. The couple visited Retsil with their daughters and immediately were convinced it was the right fit for them. “It looked like a good place,” he said. “Everyone looked like they knew each other. “A lot of the [time in] service wasn’t as gentle as this place. You see 150 people and they know your name. It’s kind of scary.” Olson is impressed with how quickly the staff was able to place them in a twobedroom apartment, which included a living room and bathroom – four days for the staff to set it up. Others, such as Nickerson, also reported a quick turnaround from the time he inquired about moving in to finding an apartment quickly. Once veterans — their spouses or widows also are welcomed — move in, one of the biggest draws is the location itself. Retsil rests on a 31-acre bluff above Beach Drive, which features clear views of Puget Sound. “I love the beauty here,” said Vivian Best, who fre-

The staff at Retsil also plan organized outings for the residents. Olson said those are voluntary and he likes how the residents get to plan those events. In September, they had a planned outing to go to the Puyallup Fair. Other events have varied from visits to casinos to the Puget Sound Navy Museum. Nickerson said the staff also
receives a calendar listing daily activities each month. “If you want to do an activity every day, you can,” said Nickerson, adding that many are intended to stimulate residents from a mental and physical standpoint. Vivian Best said the staff also tries to incorporate activities for bedridden residents. “I used to do some social work and I’ve never seen a place that puts on so many activities,” she said. There also are regular icecream socials that feature strong turnouts. “Some of them had a really tough road and others had a good life,” Olson said. “They don’t talk much about the service.” Nickerson, who worked as a general railway clerk after he completed his military ser-

succeeded by Al Knight that July, but he needed three attempts to pass the requisite national nursing home administrator’s test, which he accomplished in September 2010 before resigning the following April 2011. Jon Clontz, who was the Veterans Administration’s director of home operations, then took over as the administrator, but he left a year ago to become Oregon Lottery’s director. Enter Veverka, 64, who served as an Army corpsman from 1968-70, and was running a retirement home in Grants Pass, Ore., when he got a call from John Lee, director of the state Department of Veterans Affairs, to inquire whether Veverka was interested in the position. Veverka’s wife is the former Jill Tallman, who graduated in 1970 from South Kitsap High School and whose family has longstanding ties to Olalla. Veverka said his wife was elated about the opportunity and they decided to buy a house on Banner Road that is equidistant to Retsil and Olalla. Nickerson, who works on the VA’s advisory committee, said Veverka’s military experience is an important component to the job. He said he was among those who lobbied politicians to make it a requirement of the superintendent’s job. “You can identify with your residents,” Veverka said. “You can understand the culture. You can empathize in a way others can’t.” Veverka said one of the biggest challenges he has faced is creating a culture
of trust within a facility that has lacked stability in recent years. He said he has worked a variety of jobs and has no interest in pursuing any other opportunities. Veverka noted that his 93-year-old mother is moving from Southern California to Retsil. “I’m here because I love making a difference in the lives of people,” he said. “I’m not eager to go anywhere else. As long as [the residents] continue to put up with me, I’m happy to be here.” Veverka said it is not a job he can do alone and he wants to bring out the best in his staff by empowering them. “If we can inspire each other to make a difference each day we come to work, these individuals will be the recipients of our outstanding service,” he said. That does not just include permanent residents. Veverka said Retsil serves “an interesting cross-section of needs,” which ranges from assisted living to a secured dementia program. He said many are sent by hospitals to rehabilitate from surgeries. “We serve a diverse population,” Veverka said. He has held some prestigious positions in 35 years in the business, but he said Retsil already is among his favorites. “Over the years, I have said nothing is more rewarding than serving the population that gave all of us life,” Veverka said. “Now, I have the privilege of not only serving those who have given us life, but have also given us freedom. What can be more rewarding than that?”

The residents appreciate other services at Retsil, as well. Vivian Best, who has food allergies, said the staff always is aware of what she can eat. She and Nickerson also appreciate how Retsil provides religious services. There is an onsite chapel. “We want to make sure we’re fulfilling every desire we possibly can,” Superintendent Don Veverka said. The superintendent position actually is one that has caused the most consternation among residents.

minute medical appointment openings with specialists in areas such as neurology that are available to veterans with more means or those who live closer to the hospitals in King County and Pierce County. Many in the veteran services organizations of Kitsap County say the change shows a what they say is a continued lack of understanding of the overall medical needs of veterans living in the West Sound. Regardless of Honeycutt’s motive or VA directives, veterans say the change been nothing but problems for months since the change. Honeycutt in late September said that he had heard there were some complaints since the changes took effect, but had not seen any complaints himself. “I have called for reservations at the new office and never received a call back,” wrote Jan Davis. She has the task of arranging trips to the VA hospital in Seattle for her husband who suffers from early onset dementia. Even if the scheduler had called back, Davis said, in a letter sent to the Bremerton Disabled American Veterans office, that she doubts that her husband could make the now required all-day trip to Seattle via American Lake. Under the old system, with two vans, John Davis could get to Seattle without first going to VA hospital at American
Lake, south of Tacoma. That other van also helped collect veterans unable to drive from their homes to the Bremerton VA clinic at 925 Adele Avenue for connections to the regional hospitals. That ride to the clinic and then on to the hospital was one that Navy veteran Lester Berglund relied on for years as doctors worked to treat holes in the skin covering his lower legs. Treatment included changing his wraps three times a week. Following the changes to a more central van scheduling system, Berglund said he has missed several appointments when drivers didn’t show and that his wrappings were being addressed on average one day a week. If a veteran misses three appointments, continued healthcare benefits are in jeopardy. To make appointments, now that the system has one van, Berglund gets up at 4 a.m. to catch two busses to get from home to the Bremerton Clinic in time to catch the van on to the hospitals. O t her s joi ne d Burglund and Davis in complaints. One rider, Michelle Peterson of Port Orchard said her ride to an appointment at the Bremerton clinic was canceled because, the scheduler told her, rides were being focused on American Lake and Seattle. Honeycutt said that the complaints he was made aware of during the interview for this story “were good feedback” and that he would
be happy to return the second van to Bremerton, but right now there is a lack of volunteer drivers qualified to do the driving in Bremerton. The significant point, he said, is that the DAV van ride to the hospital is not a entitlement program and as such it’s beholden to the number of qualified volunteers on hand. “Right now that’s the piece that’s missing,” Honeycutt said. “We need to recruit more volunteer drivers.” The changes came after the primary volunteer driver in Bremerton was forced to resign over something “somewhat confidential” that ended his volunteer work, Honeycutt said. That driver covered four of five days and without him, only one day could be covered consistently. So, Honeycutt put the vans under the control of Port Angeles. He said Bremerton was lucky that Port Angeles had enough volunteers to include them. Joel Courreges is the commander of DAV Bremerton #5 and the local DAV transportation director. After the first changes were presented last June by Honeycutt, Courreges started to complain about the regional VA taking away DAV vans and changing the system. Honeycutt infringed on local autonomy and disrupted a system that was “community domain” for years, he said. “I disapproved of the set up from the beginning,” Courreges said. “Now everyone worries.” Kitsap County Veteran Assistance Program coor-

dinator Leif Bentsen said regardless of what happens, the need remains to have a five-day-a-week transportation system that gets local veterans to their appointments regardless if they are at the Bremerton clinic or the more distant hospitals. “In a timely manner,” Bentsen said emphatically. Kitsap County Veterans Advisory Committee member Fred Scheff ler said the problems with the new VA van scheduling and ride systems are the result of the Puget Sound VA Regional Healthcare System’s administration that is one of the poorer in the nation, ranked 182 out of 183. Last last director only lasted a year, he said. “The administration doesn’t care,” he said, during a recent briefing on the matter. In the short term, Courreges is preparing a fix to the local veteran transportation shortage with a van to be exclusively run by the Bremerton DAV, with the right amount of flexibility to serve the transportation needs of “his” veterans as they pop up day to day. Whether or not Courreges is jumping the gun remains to be seen. Honeycutt said it’s possible that once enough volunteer drivers are enlisted, he would return the second van and scheduling to Bremerton. “If there is still a need [for a second van] and it sounds like their is, it is what we want to do,” Honeycutt said.

The tax rate for your kitchen is different than the tax rate for your living room, etc. In order to pay the appropriate amount, you must keep a log of how much time you utilize each room and calculate your tax based on the time and tax rate for each room.

The bill would establish a uniform national requirement that nonresidents must work in a state for more than 30 days during a calendar year before they’re subject to out-of-state income taxes. The bill defines what a work day is and, to prevent double taxation, it clarifies that employees can get a tax credit in their home state for income taxes paid to other states. Analysts have determined that the measure is largely revenue neutral for the states. The measure has already passed the House with bipartisan support. On September 12, nearly 200 business leaders wrote Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and the rest of the Senate leadership urging them to pass the legislation.

Mayor: 2013 budget is balanced
www.bremertonpatriot.com | www.centralkitsapreporter.com
No layoffs or utility increases By KEVAN MOORE kmoore@soundpublishing.com
Bremerton Mayor Patty Lent says she will present the city council a balanced budget for 2013 that will include no layoffs. She’ll also do it without a complete utilities rate study which many critics say is essential to an actual balanced budget. The 2012 budget was balanced with a series of tax increases at city owned utilities to access those accounts for general budget expenses. Lent said that the 2013 budget will also need to keep the tax increases in place to find a balance. “We will have 6.1 fewer employees, but that’s through attrition, not any sort of layoffs and that’s reflected in this year’s budget,” Lent said. Lent said that in addition to maintaing staffing levels, minus those six positions not refilled, the budget will keep service levels and expenditures the same next year. Each city department has essentially submitted “status quo” budgets and are not seeking any increases, she said. “We’re ahead of schedule in presenting a budget to council,” Lent said. “Each of the departments have worked diligently with me and with finance in our meetings to come to what they’re presenting to council.” Lent’s balanced budget has been prepared amidst an ongoing utilities rate study that is expected to be completed by the end of the year, ahead of the council’s year end deadline to adopt a balanced budget. “We’re going to go forward with a balanced budget without the rate study complete and without any rate increase,” Lent said. The mayor said that the council can take action on utility rates after adopting See BUDGET, A10

Wobbe’s story is that of a naive teenager who finds strength and courage through the struggles the group faces, Moss said. Wobbe is the one who grows the most, she said. The young man — trying not to give any spoilers here — faces hardships after World War II and his involvement in the Hubener group. The film stars Joseph Paul Branca as Rudi Wobbe, Caleb Jenson as Helmuth Hubener and Dashiell Wolf as KarlHeinz Schnibbe. After graduating from North Kitsap, Moss went on to earn her associate’s degree from Ricks College and bachelor’s degree in theater from Utah State University. She earned her master’s in directing at the University of London. Moss returned to Washington after earning her master’s. She wrote “Resistance Movement” while living on Bainbridge Island.

Harvest some fun and local fare Saturday in Poulsbo P
oulsbo — Downtown Poulsbo is pulling out all the stops for the first Fall Harvest Festival, Saturday. Tammy Mattson, Historic Downtown Poulsbo Association member and festival organizer, said the association hosted a smaller version as an Octoberfest in 2009. This year will have a bigger emphasis on local produce, farmers and chefs, as well as children’s activities and lots of food

We can remember that one person can make a difference.”
samples. Dubbed “Poulsbo’s finest farm to table and farm to family experience” by the association, the festival will feature local farmers sharing their freshest ingredients, and seven local chefs will put those local products to work during the Restaurant Walk. “It’s wonderful and [a] still-growing farmers market. We’re really lucky to have that,” Mattson said, adding that Poulsbo’s farmers market was voted
the second-best in the state by farmers. The festival begins at 11 a.m. with pumpkin painting provided by Central Market, a pet parade from Liberty Bay Books to Martha & Mary, tractors and trailers for children to explore from 1-2 p.m., and many more children’s activities. Adults can visit the Farmers Market tents, a cider press, and enjoy a Hops and Vine grand tasting of local brewers and

Though it was lowbudget, producer Nathan Lee said it was a film he wanted to make sure was told. Lee, a graduate of North Kitsap High School (1999) graduate and Olympic
College, worked his way up in the film industry. “Resistance Movement” is his first experience producing, he said. From a producing standpoint, he said the film was quite challenging.

vintners. Free samples will be available all day, and the restaurants will open up for the “farm-to-table” experience from 5-7 p.m. Folks can also enjoy an art stroll, with many local artists set up along Front Street, and live outdoor music. All the downtown parking lots will be open, including Anderson Parkway. What is Mattson hoping for Saturday? “Hopefully sunshine.”
Festival organizers also hope residents will turn out to support the Poulsbo Farmers Market at the annual Harvest Market Fundraising Dinner on Sunday, at Mor Mor Bistro. Tickets are $55 and available at Liberty Bay Books. Organizer John Nesby, owner of Mor Mor, has been a supporter of the market in spirit and as a business owner — many of Mor Mor’s dishes are made from local products. “The entire dinner from
“It was a fantastic experience,” he said, adding the cast and crew made it easy enough. Following the special screening Sept. 22, Lee said the reaction was exactly what the film’s creators wanted. “Lots of sniffling and tears,” he said. “People left very quietly …” What may be even more significant, were the online comments. People seemed to be a more introspective, Lee said.

Malbec wine grape on the rise in the Northwest J
ust a half-decade ago, few could have predicted that Malbec would be the next big thing in Washington. Yet, suddenly, the red wine grape that is native to France and huge in Argentina is establishing itself as a favorite with winemakers and consumers alike in the Pacific Northwest. Our recent blind judging of Malbec attracted 89 examples. Malbec is one of the six red wine grapes of Bordeaux, though it plays a supporting role compared with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. In Argentina, Malbec is a star, with 50,000 acres planted. The Argentine Malbecs that are exported to the United States are inexpensive compared with Malbecs from elsewhere in the world, though the best examples, which rarely make it out of the country, tend to be pricier. In our judging, a Malbec from Mercer Estates in the Yakima Valley town of Prosser finished first. The grapes came from Spice Cabinet, a young estate vineyard overlooking the Columbia River in the southern Horse Heaven

Hills. Spice Cabinet was planted in 2005, so this is just the third release of wines from this vineyard — a sign that owner Rob Mercer has uncovered a superb location for red grapes. Despite the growing number of Malbecs being made, most are bottled in small amounts, so they can be difficult to find. Ask for these from your favorite wine merchant, or contact the wineries directly: n Mercer Estates Winery 2009 Spice Cabinet Vineyard Malbec, Horse Heaven Hills, $30: This opens with aromas of ripe plums and blackberries, along with hints of cedar, Baker’s chocolate and cinnamon bark. On the palate, it reveals flavors of chocolate, then quickly shows off cherries, plums, spices and blueberries, all backed with stunning acidity and modest tannins. n Upland Estates Winery 2008 Malbec,

Across the table were four golfers from Galway, Ireland, sharing an afterround libation and solving, through the filters of two nations, the problems of the world. “I need a Gaelic word,” I said. “A beautiful Irish word that tells my new granddaughter how much I love her. I’ll bet your ancient language has a lot better words than English to express such deep emotion.” Immediately the lads broke into a foreign language, speaking quickly, discussing loudly, their conversation making no sense to the Englishtrained ears on the sides of my head. Finally, my new friend Garrick wrote on a card “Mo Chara” and “Mo Chroi.” “The English pronunciation of the word is ‘ma-kree,’ ” he said. “It

As father and son, as men, as grooms, and then, as husbands. Machrie. But there have been other times in my life when I felt I had a joined heart.

She and her baby (who has since been adopted) lived in foster care until they were ready to be spayed. Figaro is a very sweet, friendly, playful girl who likes to sit on your lap when you watch tv or work on the computer. She has lived with several cats of both sexes. Figaro likes to lie in the sunspots and soak up what little sun is left out there. She is hanging out at the Poulsbo Petco hoping to meet her new family this week.

Realtor raises thousands
Bainbridge Island’s John L. Scott Real Estate office helped Realtor Vicki Browning raise $7850 for breast cancer research. Browning participated in the Susan B. Komen 60-mile walk for breast cancer Sept. 14-16. “It wasn’t a race - we had three days to complete the 60 miles,” Browning said. “The first and second days I walked 21 miles each day and the last day I walked 18 miles. I’m a 76 year old realtor and this proves that if you put your mind to something you can do it.”
Request for proposals
The city of Bainbridge Island has issued its request for proposals to outside entities to assume management of the city’s water utility. The city sent out its call for proposals Sept. 12 and the deadline for submitting proposals is Oct. 12. According to the city’s website, proposals that are submitted to Bainbridge Island should provide a detailed description of the management and services to be provided by the responding party. Proposed fees to the city for management should also be included. Bainbridge officials said the city expects to retain the responsibility of setting rates to be charged to the water utility customers. The city owns and operates two independent water systems, including Winslow-Fletcher Bay and Rockaway Beach, which supply 220 million
gallons of water annually to 6,000 customers. It also owns and operates a well and supplies water for the city’s public works and maintenance facility. The water system includes 13 wells, three storage reservoirs, 44 miles of water main, 379 fire hydrants, 2,300 service meters and other utility-related infrastructure. City officials expect to negotiate a management contract that would run for three years. The contract would go before the city council in December and the outsourcing agreement would take effect in Feb. 2013.
Water and sewer waivers
City of Port Orchard residents having trouble paying their water and sewer bills are seeing a sign of relief because of a new attitude of leniency among city officials. As part of the Helping Hand for Those in Crisis program, the city teamed up with Kitsap Community Resources to develop a one-time waiver and budget billing cycle. The program is designed to keep City of Port Orchard residents afloat economically, ensuring they don’t experience more hardships than what they’ve already experienced. According to city data, 10.6 percent of Port Orchard residents fall below the poverty line, compared to 12.6 percent for Washington State.

Contract vote
Bremerton City Council President Jim McDonald says he stopped a contract vote with Columbia Hospitality to take over Gold Mountain Golf Course operations to allow more time to negotiate the terms of the deal. “They’re getting close on the numbers,” McDonald said. “I think the terms of who’s responsible for ensuring what and things like the relationship between the contractor and the city are still to be fully defined.” One area where the city will cede control is in the establishment of green fees at the courses, an issue that many local golf enthusiasts are concerned about.The effort to hire Columbia has wide support on the council, with the exception of Councilman Greg Wheeler who has repeatedly called for opening up a wider bid process. McDonald, Mayor Patty Lent and other council members are excited about the prospect of Columbia, which manages the Kitsap Harborside Conference Center, adding Gold Mountain to its management portfolio and “cross marketing” the two operations. McDonald said the goal is to have Gold Mountain,

Golf billing dispute settled
Port Orchard City Council members settled a billing dispute with a local business that stemmed from an error in the way the city reads meters to gauge water usage. After an arson fire destroyed a golf cart barn at McCormick Woods Golf Course in 2009, the owner of the course, C & M Golf, LLC, requested that the city’s public works staff replace the one-inch meter that was installed as part of the building’s reconstruction with a two-inch meter. This lead to the City of Port Orchard’s Utility and Billing Department to under-bill C & M Golf and resulting in the business consuming 407,380 of water, valued at $780.16, that it was not billed for from 2010-2012. The result is the city’s utility and billing department checking more than
City Council’s board of the city’s new transportation benefit district is debating establishing a $20 vehicle licensing fee. City officials have said the fee could generate more than $330,000 in additional revenues annually for road projects.
Explosives handling wharf
The Suquamish Tribe has filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Navy, the Army Corps of Engineers and the National Marine Fisheries Service, to fight the proposed explosives-handling wharf at Naval Base Kitsap Bangor. The proposed wharf is located in Hood Canal, within what the tribe says is it’s usual and accustomed fishing and harvesting grounds protected by the Treaty of Point Elliott of 1855. The wharf would be a second explosives-handling wharf at Bangor, covering 6.3 acres. Construction costs are estimated to be $331 million and construction is set to begin this month.
New Seabeck Pizza location
Pizza and pop are a familiar combination, but Seabeck Pizza’s new Port Orchard location will feature a different twist: espresso. Owners Nick and Joleen Reynolds, who moved into their new 2,700 foot location in mid-September next to Lowe’s, plan to sell lattes through the drive through. The drive through, where customers can buy pizza by the slice, is one difference from the Silverdale location, which opened two years ago. The original Seabeck Pizza was opened in 1989 in Seabeck by Reynold’s father-in-law, Jerr y Anderson. Anderson still
runs that location, while the Reynolds operate an additional three locations in Belfair, Bremerton and Gig Harbor. “We make dough every day,” Reynolds said. “We cut vegetables every day. We make sauce every day.” In addition to pizza, Seabeck Pizza has six beers on tap. With the exception of one, all come from Northwest breweries, including two from Silver City.
Radio Shack closes
Bainbridge Island’s Radio Shack closed Sept. 16. The electronics store was located in the Village Shopping Center. Owner Amy Johnson ran the store for 19 years and attributed the closing to the economy and competition with online sales. “There’s a definite difference between a brick-andmortar store and online,” Johnson said. “A lot of people don’t realize what a brick-and-mortar store does for the community.” The money Radio Shack brought on the island stayed on the island, Johnson noted. “What money is spent here in the store is recirculated in the community,” she said. “We are thankful and grateful for the years of support that we have had.”

Poulsbo parking woes
Downtown merchants, city employees and customers want to keep the downtown’s core of art galleries, restaurants and unique shops thriving. There’s just one problem: parking. With dozens of shops and eateries squeezed in an area of a few blocks, downtown Poulsbo has 1,199 parking spaces of streets and in lots. Those studing the parking lots say there isn’t enough circulation, pushing visiting short term shoppers to less convenient, outlying lots. Downtown’s biggest lot is scheduled to be repaved and restripped in February. The Poulsbo City Council said a lot of parking circulation blame can be placed on downtown businesses.
Tammy Mattson, owner of Tizley’s Europub and Hare & Hounds Public House, said many employees do park in Anderson Parkway but the council shouldn’t demonize them. “If you don’t have employers, if you don’t have employees, you don’t have open shops,” she said. An employee parking lot should be “item number one” under discussion, Mattson said. She also suggested the council consider locating employee parking pockets in each lot. Mattson would hever ask an employee who worked a night shift to park a few blocks away, she said. “We have to keep customer and employee safety first.”
