Seabeck men featured on History Channel’s ‘American Pickers’ By Wes Morrow wmorrow@CentralKitsapreporter.com

Verne Christopher and Darrell Durbin of Seabeck will appear on the History Channel show “American Pickers” on Monday, Dec. 3. A viewing party is planned at Camp Union Saloon in Seabeck. The party will start at 5:30 p.m., and the episode is set to air half an hour later, at 6 p.m. Christopher’s daughter, Melinda Smieja, said the party is open to anyone who wants to join. The episode, “Full Steam Ahead,” is the fifth episode of the show’s fifth season. According Smieja, promotional videos for the episode are already running on the

station. The History Channel’s website lists a description of the upcoming episode: “After taking a joyride on a rare 100-year old monster tractor, Mike and his brother Robbie take to a property packed with amazing steam engines and rusty relics. In Washington state, Robbie’s bid on some heavy machinery leads to a high stakes lumberjack competition. Later, the guys head to Whidbey Island and find a graveyard of car grills and a 1947 Chevy pickup.” Smieja was responsible for bringing the show to Kitsap County. After seeing a notice that the show was looking for locations in the area, she told the producers about See HISTORY, A2

Kitsap Humane Society (KHS) announced today Home for the Holidays events and specials benefiting the shelter’s rescued animals. It starts this week with the annual Posing Pets with Santa fundraisers: Saturday, Dec. 1 Sunday, Dec. 9 T&C Photography of Poulsbo – and Santa, of course – will be on hand at each location from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to take holiday photos of the whole family, including pets, with prints produced on the spot.

When the scout arrived, Christopher reportedly refused to sell any parts of his collection, but sent the scout down the road to his neighbor, Darrell Durbin. “American Pickers” follows Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, two “Pickers” who travel the country looking for relics and antiques, which they then restore.

Big numbers for Black Friday and the weekend By Dennis Box editor@soundpublishing.com

The shopping extravaganza called Black Friday weekend has drawn very large numbers across the nation according to the National Retailer Federation. The NRF website reported, “more than 35 million Americans visited retailers’ stores and websites Thursday – up from 29 million last year.” That could prove to be just the medicine needed for retailers in the Kitsap County region and the country as businesses try to break out of the Great Recession doldrums.

Help CONTINUED FROM A1

In order to help with their undertaking, they’ve added an extra twist to this year’s fundraiser – an east versus west competition. “We’re trying to get the east side interested in doing a little friendly competition with the west,” Adrienne said. Erica is in her second year at Washington State University in Pullman. She has been working with Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital in Spokane. Adrienne has continued working with their original beneficiary, Seattle Children’s Hospital. “We thought it would be really fun if we had a competition between mother and daughter, Sacred Heart versus Seattle Children’s, east versus west,” Erica said. Contributions from people on the west side will go to Seattle Children’s and those from the east side will go to Sacred Heart. Both Erica and Adrienne believe the west is currently beating the east, but as the Huskies can no doubt attest, a lead against the east can vanish quickly. Lydia Seabron bought three letters last year, two for her kids and one for her husband. “My daughter thought it was really special,” Seabron said. “She was excited and was thrilled that she got something special from Santa.” Seabron’s daughter was 3 years old at the time. Now, one year older, her daughter not only thinks Santa can communicate with them via mail, she believes he can be reached by phone. Even the North Pole does not appear to be immune to the ever-increasing communication network. “I sort of implanted (the idea) when I told her I was calling him for his quar-

terly report,” Seabron said. Apparently even Santa has shareholders to think about. For Deborah Horn, Letters from Santa was a fun gift idea for her children that she also thought helped a good cause. Her motive may have been slightly different from Seabron’s. “My kids are adults. They’re not little kids, and it was a fun kind of unique gift to send them,” Horn said. For Erica, her own joy at receiving a letter from Santa as a child helped guide her efforts fundraising. “I wanted to share the joy I had when I was young, too,” Erica said. Erica has been recognized by a number of Kitsap County organizations for her work within the community. “She’s got a really good heart and (is) very passionate about children’s charities,” Adrienne said. Erica is in the premed program at school. She originally wanted specialize in neonatology (caring for newborn infants). But Erica claimed her heart may be shifting toward being a dietitian, “working with kids in exercise science, teaching them how to eat properly and how to exercise properly,” she said. No matter where she ends up, Erica said she knows she wants to work with children. When Erica was in her early teens, she visited her aunt, Adrienne’s sister, who happened to be a neonatal nurse. “My sister took her to work and she got to go into the neonatal unit there, and saw these tiny little babies attached to tubes and struggling for life,” Adrienne said. Some of the incubators and medical bills in that care unit were being paid

Sharon Wilkes, marketing manager for the Kitsap Mall said Black Friday was “great and it went through the weekend.” The NRF cited a survey by BIGinsight that stated retail spending increased over the weekend, including at stores and online. “More people than ever before also shopped online and in stores on Black Friday, as 89 million shoppers braved the crowds, up from 86 million last year,” the NFR website stated. “According to the survey, a record 247 million shoppers visited stores and websites over Black Friday weekend, up from 226 million last year.” The total spending cited by NFR was an estimated $59.1 billion with an average of $432 per shopper, an increase from last year’s mark of $398. The survey reported, “NRF also asked shoppers which days they shopped online – more than one-quarter (27.0 percent) of holiday shoppers said they shopped online on Thanksgiving Day, Wes Morrow/staff photo and nearly half (47.5 percent) on Black Friday.” Chris Watson and Shirley Waller take a break from Wilkes said another rush will come at the Kitsap Mall as shopping with Brodee and Zane in their strollers. Christmas nears.

for by uncompensated care. “When she found out she could make a difference, she was on board,” Adrienne said. Two years later, Erica held her Dinner for The Kids Baked Ziti sale and

raised more than $2,000. Since then she has raised more than $10,000 dollars for children through various fundraisers such as the annual Miracle Trail Run, The Great Kitsap Pasta Feed and Letters From Santa.

Erica said she is passionate about kids, especially those who don’t have the same opportunities as her. Letters from Santa is one step in the direction toward giving opportunity to many of those children.

This Dec. 25, when kids at Seattle Children’s and Sacred Heart unwrap gifts from their parents or from Santa, there will be one more gift from the Runyans and all those who donated, the gift of uncompensated care.

No paper for girls I have found a number of different stories while I’ve been spending time in Bremerton, Silverdale and Port Orchard for the past couple of months. One of the most interesting came from the mayor of Black Diamond, Rebecca Olness, which is next door to my hometown, Enumclaw. I was talking with her on the phone recently concerning a story when the subject of Bremerton came up. Olness found out I was staying in Editor Bremerton and said she was raised in Bremerton. Her parents were both prominent citizens in the city and Kitsap County. She met her husband, Ron, in Bremerton when she was in high school. She said her grandmother, who worked at Harrision Medical Center, signed her husband, Ron’s, birth certificate. There is some syn- Dennis Box chronicity. The best part of our conversation was her story about not being allowed to carrying a canvas bag and throw papers. Olness and a friend were walking home from school one day when they decided delivering papers or being paper boys would be fun and a good way to spend time after school. “We thought why can’t we be paper boys,” Olness said. She and her friend went to the local daily, the Bremerton Sun, and asked to deliver papers. “We thought it wouldn’t be a big deal,” Olness said. To their surprise the girls were told no because only boys could be paper boys. I mean really… be serious girls, sheez. This was the early 1950s and girls just didn’t deliver papers, or do a lot of other things. See Paper, A5

base. Team Obama was able to use the “flip-flop” between the primaries and the general election to argue that Romney had no central core values. Because Obama didn’t have to compete in the primaries, he didn’t have to deal with contradicting himself to win his base and then switch to win the middle. The Democrats saved a lot of money in the process. To win his conservative base, Romney had to come out against the federal auto industry bailout. That comment alone cost him Ohio and the election. Although Obama was outspent, his team’s strategy was more effective. Romney primarily fought an air war with TV ads with “only” 300 field offices, while Obama fought the war on the ground with approximately 800 field offices. Obama used the Internet far more effectively than did Romney. He got a bigger bang for his buck. In conclusion, while the campaigns spent more money in history during a presidential election cycle, the outcome pretty much ended where it began. Money is important, but only to an extent. After a point, organization and direct contact with voters seems to be what wins national elections. The candidate who reaches out to a broad range of voters gives himself a better shot at winning the election. Even though the election ended where it began, it did pump $6 billion into the nation’s economy. Finally we got a bipartisan stimulus program that both sides supported.

The doctors did turkeys for the squadron’s all kinds of tests, and evensingle-sailor Thanksgiving tually, after the results came party. (Apparently, Dustin back normal, the pediatrihad forgotten that I was nine cian told us, “Owen has just months pregnant and that one problem, and his name I didn’t know how to cook begins with F.” After that, one turkey.) a constant refrain became, Owen spent his first year “Let Owen do it himself ” of life sleeping in a crib and “Let Owen talk for himwith a netted tent above it self.” because we were worried that another well-meaning toddler might accidentally throw a blanket or a handful of Legos on top of him. Each morning, as I unzipped the tent to get him out, Owen smiled and cooed. He almost never cried. So thoughtful of him, I thought, because there was already enough noise in our house. Our dog, a Shetland Sheepdog named Tanner, took a liking to baby Owen.

Owen’s favorite song was Nina Simone’s version of “Here Comes the Sun.” He called it the “Little darling song,” and I can still remember the vision of him in the rearview mirror as it played: sunk in his car seat; hair sticking up; eyes twinkling; a little bit of drool falling down his chin as he smiled and grabbed at the toe of his shoe. When Owen was 4-yearsold, he had oral surgery and double pneumonia in the same winter. He had always been small and skinny, but by his fourth Christmas, he was fitting in old 2T clothing. I said he was like a kitten: long, bendy and skinny. He was still quiet: Never complained, hardly ever cried, not even after surgery or when he was sick. Soon after, another little person joined our family. Owen seemed to grow faster after that. In another year, I referred to him as a “sunflower.” While some children consistently grow and change almost without detection year-to-year, Owen pushed through the soil and sprouted in a year’s time. Everything from his button nose to his pudgy knees took shape. Today, Owen is quiet but cheerful. It is impossible not to smile when he does. He doesn’t get into trouble at school or home. He seldom

needs help with anything. He makes few demands. When other people want to be right, he lets them be. When other people want their way, he lets them have it. (Dear future daughter-inlaw: You’re welcome.) And....[Sigh]. I wanted to make this all about Owen. But I can’t. You see, Owen is who he is in part because of his older and younger brothers. His place as the middle child is as much a part of his character as being the baby of the family is part of....um, our other boy’s (you know, the one who is leaning over my shoulder right now squealing, “What about me? Write about me? I don’t see my name on the screen!”) All three of my boys play off and to one another. They are shaping each other in ways they might not appreciate until later. Except that, one son already gets a lot of attention for being the oldest, and another gets attention for being the youngest. And Owen, I fear, gets lost in the shuffle. He’d never ask for it to be different. He wants them to be happy, but mostly, he wants peace. He even told me to include the youngest’s name so he’d stop crying. But I won’t. Everyone needs his own day. Today is Owen’s. I just hope that, uh, the others, can appreciate that.

not be a paper boy certainly didn’t deter Olness in life. She worked as a teacher for 32 years and has spent the last three years as mayor of Black Diamond. Neither one can be characterized as easypleasy gigs.

REI to open a Silverdale store the fall of 2013 Recreational Equipment, Inc., commonly known as REI, that the national outdoor co-op will be opening a store in Silverdale in the fall of 2013. The 24,500 square-foot store will be located at the intersection of NW Randall Way and Myhre Place NW. That site is currently occupied by Kitsap Sports, which will be moving to its original Bremerton location on Callow Avenue. REI Silverdale will offer the top brands of gear

and apparel for camping, climbing, cycling, fitness, hiking, paddling, snow sports and travel. A seasonal rental department will allow customers to test new outdoor activities, and a bike shop will provide expert assembly and repair services. The store’s community space will host outdoor-related classes, presentations and events. “Our new Silverdale store will be much more convenient for more than 15,000 active REI mem-

bers who reside along the Kitsap Peninsula,” said Kevin Golic, REI retail director for the Washington and Alaska district. “We look forward to providing REI’s quality products, advice and service to the many that consider the community the gateway to the Olympics.” The company will hire approximately 50 new employees for the new store. Candidates can apply online at www.rei. com/jobs approximately three months before the

opening. While anyone may shop with REI, the company is the nation’s largest consumer cooperative with 4.7 million active members. REI members pay a one-time $20 fee and receive a share in REI’s profits through an annual member refund. Membership also includes discounts on gear rent-

als, REI Adventures trips and REI Outdoor School classes. REI Silverdale will join eight other Puget Sound locations in serving more than 436,000 active members in the Seattle and Tacoma area. REI operates 127 stores in 31 states, two online stores – rei.com and REI-OUTLET.com.

Founded in 1938 by a group of Pacific Northwest mountaineers seeking quality equipment, REI is committed to promoting environmental stewardship and increasing access to outdoor recreation through volunteerism, gear donations and financial contributions.

Silver City Brewery raises money for firefighters benevolent fund Silver City Brewery and the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters Benevolent Fund announced the presentation of the first check from the proceeds raised through the sales of Silver City Saint Florian IPA. Silver City Brewery will present the approximately $14,000 check Monday in Olympia at the WSCFF headquarters. Saint Florian IPA was first released in March of this year and is an annual offering and year round fundraiser for the WSCFFBF. Saint Florian is the patron saint of firefighters and a northwest IPA brewed by Silver City Brewery designed to raise money for Washington State Council of Fire Fighters Benevolent Funds. Part of the proceeds from each bottle and keg of Saint Florian IPA sold goes directly to the Benevolent Fund where the beer is purchased in the region. Silver City Brewery owner Scott Houmes

said, “We are very proud to grow our longstanding relationship with the Professional Fire Fighters of Kitsap County Benevolent Association. Saint Florian IPA enables us to extend that relationship to other areas around the Puget Sound.” Silver City Brewery, located in Kitsap County, has helped raise money for the Kitsap Fire Fighters Benevolent Fund every year since 2001 through their annual Oktoberfest celebration. In that time the Oktoberfest event has raised more than $30,000 for the fund. Owner Scott Houmes was inspired to expand the fundraising reach of Silver City Brewery through a commemorative beer offering. Early in 2012, Scott presented the idea to Kitsap firefighters and asked if they approved and would help in naming the beer. Saint Florian, the patron saint of firefighters, came back as the obvious choice.

Callaghan helps Wolves sink Bremerton A big night from Ryley Callaghan propels the Wolves past Bremerton By CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@portorchardindependent.com

Darren Bowden is Bremerton’s boys basketball coach, but he is about as familiar with Ryley Callaghan’s capabilities as anyone. That does not mean the Knights could contain him. Callaghan scored a game-high 30 points to lead the Wolves to an 82-66 win Monday night in the season-opener for both schools. “I said, ‘Watch out for all of those banana peels that I taped all over the floor,’” said Bowden, reflecting on a pregame conversation with Callaghan. “He just laughed. “Ryley’s got it all. He can stroke it. He can handle the ball. He’s a kid who we tried to help contain and just weren’t able to do it. I’m glad he’s not

in the Olympic League.” Callaghan, a junior, had his career-best scoring output despite playing with a cast on his left wrist, which he fractured earlier this month when he landed on it during an AAU contest after being pushed. “The wrist felt good,” said Callaghan, who is right-handed. “I got the green light (to shoot).” But it was not Callaghan or his classmate, Caulin Bakalarski, that had the greatest impact early. That was Bremerton wing Deonti Dixon, who scored 16 of his 20 points during the first half. The Knights took a 5-0 lead and held a 20-19 edge entering the second quarter. “We had a little bit of the jitters, maybe,” South coach John Callaghan said. It did not last for long. Bremerton did not score again until wing Andrew Shadle converted a pair of free throws with 4:41 left in the second quarter. By then, the Wolves held a 26-22 advantage — a lead they would not relin-

quish. “We didn’t stay focused on what we’re supposed to do,” said Bowden, a longtime South assistant who became Bremerton’s coach in 2010. “You have to get through adversity when the ball’s not bouncing your way and shots aren’t falling. We kind of became sluggish after that. We just have to maintain our composure and keep going.” Much of that can be attributed to the growth of Callaghan and Bakalarski, who scored 21 points, from their first season on varsity. “Ryley and Caulin — they’ve been playing pretty well all summer and fall,” the elder Callaghan said. “They’ve been putting in the work and I’m glad to see it paying off.” South took a 43-28 lead into the second half and increased that advantage to as much as 25 points during the third period. But with Shadle and guard Michael Lawrence, each of whom scored 10 points, contributing, the Knights refused to be blown out. Bremerton pulled as

Lawrence argued the call and was assessed a technical foul. Simpson made his free throw to complete the three-point play and then Callaghan connected on both technical foul shots from the charity stripe. In addition, the Wolves were awarded posses-

sion and Bakalarski hit a jumper to extend their advantage to 72-55. “You don’t argue calls,” Bowden said. “Nothing can change. It was a total momentum swing. It just killed us.” While the Knights have a quick turnaround — they face Central Kitsap on Wednesday and then open Class 2A Olympic League tonight

YMCA: help stop diabetes An estimated one-inthree adults in the U.S. has prediabetes, yet just 7 percent of these 79 million individuals know they have it. People with prediabetes are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases such as heart disease and stroke. November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, and the Bremerton Family YMCA is helping residents of Bremerton cut their risk of developing type 2 diabetes through an innovative program that teaches people to make lifestyle changes that lead to greater health. The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program helps people lose 5 percent to 7 percent of body weight through healthier eating and increased physical activity, and can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. “Even though I had been exercising, my weight was

at an all-time high, I was eating too many sweets, and one of my parents had just been diagnosed with kidney problems. After a lifetime of trying various weight loss programs, the Diabetes Prevention Program was my success story,” said program participant Ellen Flanagan. “I learned how to pair healthy eating with the correct amount of exercise. Thanks to the guidance of the group leaders and the support of the group members, I was able to make meaningful changes in my thinking, eating, and exercise habits.” The program is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Diabetes Prevention Program, and based on the National Institutes of Health study that showed losing a moderate amount of weight and increasing physical activity reduces the number of cases of type 2 diabetes by

58 percent. “Through the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program, we are helping people in Pierce and Kitsap counties make lifestyle changes that can help avoid developing type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases,” said Bob Ecklund, president and CEO of the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties. “The Y is a leading nonprofit dedicated to improving the nation’s health and wellbeing, and the prevention of type 2 diabetes not only benefits the individual, but our community at large.” The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program is supported nationally by the Diabetes Prevention and Control Alliance and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and is available at 74 YMCAs in 31 states.

Red Cross poll shows giving efforts continue A new poll conducted for the American Red Cross shows that most Americans said their giving to political causes in 2012 and Hurricane Sandy relief efforts will not reduce their year-end gifts to charity. A telephone survey of 1,010 adults conducted earlier this month found that 78 percent of those who have already given to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts said it will not impact their year-end charitable giving, while 90 percent of those who gave to political causes said it will not reduce their giving to nonprofits this holiday season. “We are grateful for the generous donations by the American public for

While a majority of those polled said prior giving to political causes and Hurricane Sandy relief efforts will not impact their year-end financial donations, fewer Americans plan to give to charity this year than last year. The survey found that 52 percent of Americans are planning to donate to charity this season, down from 57 percent the last two years

from previous Red Cross surveys. Giving by those who do plan to donate to a nonprofit may be less: while 49 percent of those planning to give will give more than $50; nearly half (46 percent) say they will give less than $50.

VA preparing for possible increase in veterans By CHRIS CHANCELLOR Senior Reporter

With the War on Terror scheduled to end in the near future, Kitsap County could experience an increase in veterans living in the area — and requiring services. The result is the need for more benefits, some projections suggest Veterans Administration services might double, as the volume of mental and physical wounded veterans increase. Employment Security economist Elizabeth Court said the most recent data, which comes from 2011, shows that Kitsap County saw a decline in veterans from the previous year. According to her data from the census bureau, there were an estimated 34,674 veterans living in Kitsap County. That represented a decline of 2,687 veterans from 2010. Among those, post 9/11 veterans represent the third largest segment in the county at 21.7 percent, behind the Vietnam era (35.3 percent) and Gulf War (30 percent). Whether that trend continues is unknown. Heidi Audette, communications director for the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs, said trends for the growth or decline of veterans locally often do not follow national trends. She said the VA also does not maintain statistical data for which branch of the military veterans come from. When someone leaves the military, Audette said the governor sends them a letter and the veteran has an option to have paperwork forwarded to the state VA. Douglas Stutz, who is a public affairs officer at Naval Hospital Bremerton, said the majority of veterans he comes across are from the Army and Navy in Kitsap. In April, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced that it would add about 1,900 to its staff of mental health workers to its staff of roughly 20,590 in an anticipation of the needs of veterans returning from war. “As the tide of war recedes, we have the opportunity, and the responsibility, to anticipate the needs of returning veterans,” VA Secretary Eric Shinseki said in a news release. “History shows that the costs of war will continue to grow for a decade or more after the operational missions in Iraq and Afghanistan

have ended. As more veterans return home, we must ensure that all veterans have access to quality mental-health care.” The additions come amid years of reports of veterans standing in long lines seeking treatment. The VA released a study last fall that surveyed 272 mental health providers. Nearly 40 percent of those reported they could not schedule a new patient for an appointment within the VA-mandated 14-day window in their clinic, and 70 percent indicated they lacked sufficient space and staff. An inspector general’s investigation released in April found that veterans seeking mental health care waited about 50 days the first time before receiving a full evaluation. Rep. Jeff Miller, chairman of the House committee with jurisdiction over veterans’ issues, criticized the plan to add staffing during an oversight hearing. “If VA doesn’t even have a complete picture of the problem, how confident can we be that access will be increased and care enhanced by the VA’s knee-jerk reaction,” he said. “This is not the first time we have been here.” But others say size — not just staffing — is an issue. Stutz is too small and “we have done our feasibility study of having a joint facility with the VA” in January. He said there are 50 shared facilities throughout the country. But there are ways to beat the lines. Lorin Smith, public affairs specialist for the VA’s Puget Sound Health Care System, said social networking has become the newest fad in connecting with veterans. He said the VA joined Facebook two years ago and it has more followers and “likes” than any other federal agency. Locally, it is www.facebook. com/vapugetsound. Smith said it is popular with just younger veterans, either. “Surprisingly, the data shows the majority of our fans are 55 years and older,” Smith said. “The old thoughts about digital divide are going by the wayside.” There also is a www.twitter. com/vapugetsound account. “We invite comments and questions,” said Smith, referring to both Facebook and Twitter. “It’s just another tool to reach out to all of our veterans.”

Smith said one area where the VA has not reached is text messaging. He said that will be available “in the near future,” but did not have a specific timeline. In lieu of text messaging, Smith said the VA offers “My HealtheVet.” According to www.myhealth.va.gov/ index.html, this system is designed for veterans, activeduty service members, their dependents and caregivers the opportunity the secure information they enter. According to the website, the most popular feature is online prescription refills. There also is an option to send “a non-urgent secure message to participating members of your VA health care team.” The website states that these messages are safe and secure the ones that are sent and received are stored within My HealtheVet. “We need to go where our veterans are,” Smith said.

“They need to go out and jump on the bandwagon.” Marcus Grandjean, director of data and analytics for the VA’s Puget Sound Health Care System, said My HealtheVet is most popular among veterans who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Afghanistan. “They’re much more likely to use email,” he said. Grandjean said another service offered through the VA is “Telehealth.” He said that program allows veterans to go onto a teleconference with doctors to seek answers for medical problems. The service can be beneficial to disabled veterans. According to the VA website, Kenneth Winn suffered a head injury while deployed in Operation Desert Storm. Under different circumstances, Winn would have to drive more than 150 miles from his home in Crescent City, Calif., to Roseburg, Ore.

But because of Telehealth, he only has to drive to the VA clinic in town, where he is connected with his counselor at VA Roseburg. “Crescent City is No Man’s Land,” Winn told the VA. “With Telehealth, it makes it where I can talk to my doctor without having to travel very far. It helps to talk to her when I’m down. She’s keeping tabs on my medications and stuff like that. She makes sure I receive what I need to receive.” But Grandjean said the program entails much more than that. “Our Telehealth medicine program is anything from dermatology to primary care for people in rural communities,” he said. “If someone cannot make it to a primary care facility that might be a good option.” Patricia Ryan, associate chief consultant for the VA Office of Telehealth, said on

the VA’s website that there is another important benefit to that function. “This is important because a large percentage of our rural veterans are advancing in age,” she said. “They have chronic health conditions that require constant monitoring. If it wasn’t for Telehealth, we’d be hard pressed to deliver the kind of day-to-day observation they require.” Earlier this month, the VA stopped charging veterans a copayment when they receive care in their homes via video conferencing from VA health professionals. Eliminating the copayment for this service will remove an unnecessary financial burden for veterans,” Shinseki said in a news release. “We will continue to do everything we can to ensure that veterans have access to the first-class care they have earned with their service to our nation.”

NAVFAC employee receives award

Cindi Kunz was awarded the first Chief of Naval Operations Environmental Readiness Division individual award in the Natural Resources Protection category by Rear Adm. Mark Rich commander, Navy Region Northwest, and by Capt. Chris LaPlatney, commanding officer of Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest. “The award is a testament to the dedication of Kunz and her coworkers who strive on a daily basis to protect and preserve the environment and support the Navy mission.” said LaPlatney. Kunz was selected for this award because of her leadership to determine the most appropriate acoustic level for the onset of injurious impacts to the marbled murrelet from impact pile driving. This panel included underwater acoustic technical experts from academia and scientists affiliated with nonNavy federal agencies. It was through her leadership of the panel that Kunz advanced the understanding of the marbled murrelets’ biology, physiology and enhanced the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services’ ability to manage and conserve the species, and placed criteria for monitoring and recovery of the species on firm scientific footing. Kunz demonstrated that partnerships between the U. S. Navy and regulatory agencies can be successful in developing scientifically based solutions to ecological and operational challenges. Kunz is a certified wildlife biologist and has worked for NAVFAC Northwest since 2009. The Chief of Naval Operations Environmental Readiness, N45 focuses on developing solutions that will allow U.S. naval forces to train for combat and effectively carry out their military missions while minimizing impacts on the environment. With carefully developed policy, planning, science and technological advances, environmental readiness directly supports fleet combat readiness. The marbled murrelet is a small coastal seabird that has a geographic range as far north as the Kenai Peninsula and as far south as San Diego. They were listed as ‘threatened’ in 1992 by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Revenue council projects $900 million shortfall Quarterly revenue projection remains stable for current budget Washington faces a projected $900 million state budget shortfall for the 2013–15 biennium and an even larger shortfall of nearly $1.1 billion for the following biennium (2015–17), according to a four-year outlook released today by the Washington State Economic and Revenue Forecast Council. The outlook was released in conjunction with the November revenue forecast, which reduced general fund revenue projections for the 2013–15 biennium by $88 million, compared to the previous quarterly forecast in September. The next twoyear budget cycle begins July 1, 2013. The forecast council’s

revenue projection for the current biennium (2011–13) increased, but by only $8 million. “Revenue collections are on track, but personal income is falling off slightly compared to our previous forecast,” said Steve Lerch, council executive director. “Our overall forecast is down a very small amount as a result.” Still, Gov. Chris Gregoire said she was encouraged by many of the economic indicators underlying today’s forecast, especially in the housing and export sectors. “Housing is more affordable than it has been in a long time and aerospace remains strong,” Gregoire said. “While we are seeing clear

signs of recovery, economic growth remains slow, and we have to ensure that every Washingtonian who wants a job has one.” Gregoire, who is preparing her final budget before leaving office in January, noted that the forecast council’s estimated $900 million neargeneral fund shortfall for 2013–15 is slightly better than what the Office of Financial Management had projected in a preliminary outlook in August. But she stressed that the outlook does not include any additional spending that will be needed to meet basic education needs identified by the state Supreme Court in the McCleary decision. “We have a shortfall even before we begin trying to address McCleary,” Gregoire said. “I’ve instructed state agencies and my fiscal staff

Safety is first priority

This message is the second of three parts and is sponsored by: Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office, together with the Kitsap County Traffic Safety Task Force, the Kitsap County Department of Public Works and the South Kitsap School District Pedestrian safety always a concern. As children we are taught to use extra care and caution when crossing the road, look both ways, and only cross when it is safe to do so. People assume crosswalks protect us. The county receives many requests for crosswalks. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), the mandated federal guidance document used to consider new traffic control measures, states crosswalk lines should not be used indiscriminately. Every application of a new crosswalk is investigated thoroughly. Many people believe that by simply installing white lines on the road it makes the crossing safer. That is not always the case. Crosswalks are always open, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, rain or shine. For a lot of us we were taught that cars have to stop at crosswalks if pedestrians are in them. “I have monitored enough crosswalks to know that there are significant numbers of motorists that don’t,” said Jeff Shea, county traffic engineer. “This can be especially dangerous for young children. When we look at installing marked crosswalks at uncontrolled intersections – those without

stop signs or signals – we consider the unique characteristics of each location very closely and comply with the MUTCD by completing an engineering study. “First we consider areas where there is a significant amount of pedestrian traffic that conflicts with vehicle traffic. A marked crosswalk, like other traffic warning signs, tends to lose its effectiveness if that conflict is never seen by a motorist, i.e. they never see a pedestrian in the crosswalk. They also lose their effectiveness, like signs, if they are overused. Then motorists start ignoring the signs and markings or not really even seeing them,” Shea said. Here are some of the factors considered before installing a marked crosswalk. • Are there significant numbers of pedestrians using this area for crossing the roadway? • Are there pedestrian generators, such as recreational areas, or commercial facilities that attract pedestrians? • Are there sufficient gaps in traffic that allow pedestrians to cross without having to wait an unreasonable length of time at the roadside? • Is there enough sight distance to see the pedestrian and have time to stop? Are there safer crossings within a reasonable distance? • Is there adequate lighting, so motorists can see a pedestrian during hours of darkness? Traffic engineers also

consider vehicle speeds and traffic volumes and whether this is an area where motorists might not expect to see pedestrians and needs attention drawn to this condition with a marked crosswalk. Several locations on county maintained roads are reviewed each year for safety. Many of the capital improvements in the Kitsap County Transportation Improvement Plan involve safety issues. In 2009 a federal safety grant administered by the Washington State Department of Transportation was awarded to Kitsap County. This grant specifically addressed safety improvements on rural county roads. Part of the grant involved identifying several locations with collisions attributed to dark areas of the roadway. Several new street lights were installed at intersections, and along a couple of short sections of rural roadways. In 2010, the county was awarded another similar grant. This grant did not have limited scope of rural roads only, but allowed consideration of locations in urban areas of the county. Through this grant, 31 locations were identified where improved street lighting could improve safety. One of those locations is the Jackson Avenue corridor. Along that corridor seven locations were identified where augmenting street lighting that is already there could improve safety. New lighting is scheduled at

to scrub the budget for every possible savings. But, as I’ve been saying for months, it will not be possible to solve this problem entirely with spending cuts.” Today’s outlook is the first official four-year projection released by the forecast council under a new law adopted this year by the Legislature. The outlook compares projected revenue over the next four years to projected expenditures, including maintenance-level increases and all spending increases required by statutory or contractual obligations. The governor is required by law to propose a 2013–15 budget by Dec. 20. The forecast council will then release a new four year outlook in January based on the governor’s proposed budget. Under the new law (Senate

Bill 6636), beginning with the 2013–15 budget, the Legislature will be required to adopt an operating budget that balances projected revenue and expenditures over two full biennia, or through the 2015–17 biennium. Today’s 2011–13 revenue forecast marks only the second straight quarterly increase for the current biennium — the first time since 2007 that the state has seen consecutive increases. Over a four-year period beginning in the fall of 2007, the state’s revenue projection was lowered in 17 of 20 quarterly forecasts, declining by $12.6 billion during that period. “Needless to say, we’ve already taken many deep and painful program cuts the past few years,” said OFM Director Stan Marshburn. “Finding new places to cut will be very

challenging.” Gregoire also noted that the state’s structural budget shortfall has been prolonged in recent years by an over-reliance on one-time fixes, including fund shifts and temporary cuts or revenue increases. She said minimizing one-time solutions should be a key principle in preparing a sustainable 2013–15 budget. Today’s revenue forecast increases projected general fund revenue for the current biennium to $30.9 billion. The forecast council’s forecast for the 2013–15 biennium now projects revenue collections will be about $33 billion. While the forecast council’s four-year outlook shows revenue growing to about $36 billion in the 2015–17 biennium, it also projects a nearly $1.1 billion shortfall for that twoyear budget.

or near: • SE Azalea Avenue • SE Forest Villa Court • SE Maple Street • SE Salmonberry Road • SE Sedgwick Road • SE Summer Place • Tamarack Drive SE A contract to have the lights installed was drafted with Puget Sound Energy over the past five months. The contract is scheduled for approval before the Kitsap Board of County Commissioners in December. After the contract is signed Puget Sound

Energy will schedule and install the new lighting. When the Kitsap County Parks and Recreation Department was awarded a grant to build a skate park at the South Kitsap Regional Park, an engineering study determined safety improvements were needed at the main park entrance on Jackson Avenue Southeast. Due to traffic volumes, vehicle speeds and the fact that many of the users of the park would probably be pedestrians, the study determined that marked

crosswalks there needed additional improvements. Both crossings will employ a new Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon technology and additional street lighting will be installed. While lighting improvements and new technology can help improve pedestrian safety, there will always be the potential for accidents involving pedestrians. No amount of safety improvement can eliminate accidents, but we continue to consider road safety in all our capital decisions.

Get ready to party like it’s 1859 Mill Town Family Christmas in Seabeck By LESLIE KELLY Kitsap Week

EABECK — Forget Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Turn off the television. Put away that iPod, iPhone and the video games. For just a few hours, try not to think about what needs to be done before Santa arrives and the relatives show up at the front door on Christmas Day. Take a break and travel back more than 150 years to a time when holiday celebrations were pure and simple. At that time, in the mid-1800s, life in the old town of Seabeck centered on the lumber mills that caused the town to grow to be more populous than Seattle. The work in the mills brought young men

was about five years ago when we said ‘Why not do something Christmasy here?,’ Williams said. “It would be great place for a Christmas event, with all the forested land and the historic buildings.” The celebration will continue with music and dancing in the spirit of 1860s. Well-known musicians Phil and Vivian Williams will play heritage music and period songs on the guitar and fiddle. The couple, who have studied and played music since the 1960s, are known worldwide for their knowledge of music history, especially of the early American fiddle. “This is one of our favorite events to play at,” Phil Williams said. “This is like stepping back in time. The people who attend really get into it, the dancing, the music and the history.” At 5:30 p.m., dinner will be served in the meeting hall, which was the cookhouse back in 1865. It will include just what the residents of Old Mill Town Seabeck would have eaten on a holiday in the 1860s, beginning with clam chowder, and then prime rib, roasted rooted vegetables, homemade biscuits and berry pie. Following dinner, local historians including Chuck Kraining, director of the Seabeck Center, will speak about life in the mid 1800s and the Seabeck of that era. Phil and Vivian Williams will speak about the history of the music of the time. For the youngsters, there will be some small, simple holiday gifts similar to what was given in the day. “In those days, a man would carve a small wooden shelve for his wife,” Anita Williams said. “Men would get knitted scarfs or maybe a new shirt made from old flour sacks, and the children would get one gift each, usually an item of clothing. Most all of the presents were handmade. “If the family had relatives in San Francisco, or in the East, the gifts would come by steamliner and could be food or toiletries or things that couldn’t be easily purchased here on the peninsula.” And in that day, the Christmas decorating was very simple: greenery draped from the doorway, candles and possibly a live tree decorated with popcorn and cranberry

strands and some traditional glass ornaments saved in the family for years. In years past, visitors have learned about holiday traditions of days past and enjoyed the event, she said. “People love it so much that they come back year after year,” she said. “And it is especially fun for the youngsters because they can see history come alive and experience what life was like back then.” And, because the event is a fundraiser for the historical society, there will be gift baskets for raffle during the holiday celebration. At least a dozen baskets will tempt visitors who can buy tickets at the event and drop their tickets in bins beside the basket or baskets they hope to take home. Winning tickets will be drawn following the dinner and talks. Thus far, baskets have been donated by Trader Joe’s, Valley Nursery, the U.S. Lighthouse Society (including a two-night stay at a lighthouse) and the Puppet Museum. “We rely on this event to help fund our activities,” said Megan Bradley, spokeswoman for the historical museum. “But

Kitsap bird watching: Just as good, and greener KITSAP S birdwatching

ome birdwatchers will climb on a plane and fly halfway round the world to add a rare bird to their life list. The Brits call them “twitchers.” Few of us have the surplus funds or fanatical inclination to go that far. Rising energy costs are also putting a damper on many travel plans. This makes birdwatching close to home an even better — and greener — choice. The good news is that local birdwatchers don’t need to feel deprived. Kitsap offers wonderful seasonal viewing for stayat-home birders. Emulating the very successful ecotourism models of Texas and Florida, Washington Audubon created the Great Washington Birding Trail. With grants from the Department of Transportation, teams of Audubon volunteers and the support of regional tourism and business groups, Washington Audubon has published a series of seven color-

and a downloadable brochure, “Where to Find Birds in Kitsap County.” In choosing the final six, the Kitsap team weighed things like accessibility, parking and the seasonal abundance of birds. The six favorites don’t begin to exhaust the wildlife viewing possibilities in Kitsap County, but it’s a good place to start. Most are just a short hop from home. Starting with the

Northwoods Lodge adds new wing in Silverdale BY JOHNNY WALKER FOR SOUNDPUBLISHING INC.

Gently tucked within the wooded grounds of Encore Communities’ 13 acre retirement and healthcare campus at Schold Place NW and Silverdale Way, Northwoods Lodge is currently expanding its operational footprint by 10,000 square feet to keep pace with regional growth and ongoing feedback from client surveys. The $2 million dollar initiative immediately follows the recent acquisition of Encore Communities by Santé Partners in August 2012. The renovation project will increase the number of private suites from 7 to 35, and add 1,000 square feet to its rehabilitation gym. Other additions include a nursing station, conference room, and improved office space. The project will not displace patients or staff and is expected to be complete in May 2013. “I am very excited about the

and services.” According to Community Relations Director Pam Duerr, improvements will help Northwoods Lodge continue its culture of delivering the customer service excellence it is well known for, as well as provide an environment that will assist with the pro-

vision of measurable and superior patient outcomes to guests. Northwoods Lodge is part of the Encore Communities family of healthcare centers and offers premier sub-acute, post-hospitalization and short term rehabilitation services for Kitsap, Mason and Jefferson Counties.

In addition to Encore Communities in Washington State, Santé owns four centers located

Some ways you can avoid conflict on Aisle 3 I

first posted this blog two holiday seasons ago but I think it’s worth repeating. Remember to keep your cool no matter what others are doing, and enjoy the season! Shopping during the holidays can be a real nightmare. Facing parking lots jammed with cars, performing complicated search and rescue efforts to find an available cart, and approaching aisles with your best obstacle course strategies can cause even the most happy-go-lucky holiday shopper to start up a conflict with any stranger who dares cross his path. Delivering an emotionally-charged snarky remark while juggling the sweater you’re buying for Nana doesn’t say much about your ability to spread joy or share in the holiday spirit. I can’t tell you how to manage every potential conflict you’ll face in the next month or so, but I can pass on a few tips retail workers have shared with me. Of course, I’ve added my own two cents worth on the subject and hope there’s something in here that will help you keep your cool this season. 1. Minimize the material and maximize the experience: What I mean by that is limit the amount of “stuff” you buy and, instead, think about experiences you can share with your family and friends. Throwing a potluck or hosting a game night will deliver a much better experience than being angry with those around you as you wait in line after line after line spending money you don’t have. 2. Shop online: Avoid the lines (and the other crabby people!) by hitting up your favorite stores’ websites. Check out promotion sites to find deals on price discounts, free

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST By VIVIAN SCOTT shipping, and the like. Words of caution, though: make sure you’re carving out uninterrupted computer time so you steer clear of fighting with the family when they “just won’t leave you alone.” Also, practice scanning Internet deals quickly to avoid getting to the checkout page only to discover the discount you’re counting on doesn’t apply to the items in your shopping cart. 3. Use parking lots as personal training sessions: Why get worked up when you can work out? Use the back entrance and take the first spot you see. Walk the extra distance to the front door with a smile on your face and daydream about what you’ll do with all the extra time you’ve given yourself by not circling the same aisles over and over. Unless you need to build your demolition derby skills, let the other shoppers duke it out, honk their horns, and yell obscenities. 4. Shop the little guy: I called a warehouse store to ask if they had any tips on avoiding shopper conflicts and the person who answered the phone said, “Don’t shop here.” Good point. If crowds, long lines, and oversized carts bumping into the back of your heels make you mad, shop at smaller stores that offer fewer items to fewer customers. 5. Plan to be patient: No matter what anyone else does, have control over your own emotions and reactions. Prepare yourself to take a “we’re in this together” attitude whenever possible. If the cashier is rude,
