County and union negotiations still on the table Kitsap County in contract negotiations with 19 separate unions

By Leslie Kelly kellygreenacres@comcast.net

Contract negotiations between Kitsap County and labor unions representing more than 740 county employees are continuing, according to Fernando Conill, Labor Relations Manager for Kitsap County.

The county has been in negotiations with the 19 unions that operate under 13 differ-

ent contracts since earlier this year. In total, the unions represent about 65 percent of the 1,134 county employees.

Most of the unions or guilds have been operating under previous contracts, some which date back to 2010. The county’s goal is to get the contracts of the various employee groups up to date and extend the agreed-to contracts through 2014.

According to Conill, the county is negotiating with each group individually, except where several unions are grouped together and work under a master contract. He said some of the contract negotiations began in September, others are in progress and some groups are just getting underway, depending on the union.

Although some employees have been

working without an updated contract for months, Conill said there has not been any interruption in county services due to the labor negotiations and he did not anticipate any in the future.

Conill said the negotiation process can be delicate and sensitive and because of that he declined to discuss specifics of any of the contract offers in public. He said it wasn’t productive and he wanted to maintain the respect of the bargaining process at the table.

In general, he said, most county employees represented by bargaining units have been operating under a county wage freeze without any cost-of-living raises since 2009. The county has offered its non-union employees a 2 percent cost-of-living raise

beginning in January and he said similar offers are being made to union employees during the various contract negotiations.

He added that the COLA offer also has a need for concessions on the part of the union employees, but would not be specific.

He said such things as giving up longevity premiums are being discussed as part of that.

Like with the non-union employees, the county has agreed to no new costs on the part of the union employees for their health care insurance in 2013.

The county is switching to a self-insurance program in 2013 for all employees and as a part of that, the county board of commissioners agreed to stipulate that the costs See UNION, A2

Fairgrounds fills with toys, children and Marines Bremerton

man charged with threat against father

By WES MORROW Staff writer

The President’s Hall at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds on Saturday was full of children, full of Marines and full of joy.

The Marine Corps Toys for Tots program opened the doors at 9 a.m. and stayed through the afternoon, handing out toys to needy children in Kitsap County.

Bill Cundiff, a life member of the Marine Corps League, stood in line that morning to shake the hand of each child and wish them a merry Christmas.

When Cundiff reached his hand out toward one young boy the child refused the hand, instead rising up and offering a salute.

The boy looked right at Cundiff and said: “My grandpa was a Marine, and I’m gonna be a Marine.”

Toys for Tots started in the 1940s after Maj. Bill Hendricks and his Los Angeles Marine Corps Reserve unit collected and disturbed 5,000 toys to needy children.

The program has grown substantially since it was officially adopted by the Marine Corps in 1948. Toys for Tots has collected and distributed more than 418,000,000 toys since then.

“All the kids had smiles on their faces,” said Sgt. Nick Weidner of the Marine Security Force See TOYS, A5

Police recover stolen handgun, shotgun and rifle after suspect flees

A boy scout from troop 1506 examines one of the toys from the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program Saturday at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds.

East Bremerton resident James Justin Mort, 31, of 1025 McWilliams Road, has been charged in Kitsap County Superior Court with second-degree assault, with a domestic violence enhancement, and possession of a stolen firearm.

According to court documents, Mort got into a physical altercation with his father Dec. 12 and at one point aimed a silver and black semi-automatic handgun with a laser sight at his dad’s head and yelled, “I could blow you away right now!”

Mort’s father later called 911 at about 8:40 p.m. to report that a shotgun his son had sold him six months earlier was likely stolen.

When a Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office deputy responded to the residence, police say Mort fled on foot into the woods south of the residence after seeing the deputy’s approach on a video surveillance system. Mort allegedly also grabbed See CHARGED, A3

Accident reignites pedestrian safety discussion

By WES MORROW Staff writer

Central Kitsap School District has not been distributing walk route plans or maps to students but updates appear to be coming following a Dec. 12 accident when a 17-year-old student was hit.

According to Paul Nash, the principal at Cottonwood Elementary, the school hasn’t updated its policy the last few years. Nash said the walk routes need to be updated, and that the school is in the process of looking at them, hoping to have an updated plan available by January.

Washington state regulations require every school

UNION CONTINUED FROM A1

to the employee of that new program would remain the same as what they are currently paying.

Conill said there are only four of the unions in the county who have interest arbitration whereby if the negotiation process fails to reach agreement an arbitrator reviews the contract offers and makes a decision which is binding on both the county and the specif-

district to have suggested walk routes in place for every elementary school, covering a one-mile distance from the school.

The Washington Administrative Code stated regarding walk routes, “The route to school plan shall be distributed to all students with instructions that it be taken home and discussed with parents,” (WAC 392151-025).

According to David Beil, Central Kitsap School District community relations director, the district has not been distributing walk route plans or maps to students or parents.

Beil said, because of recent state policy changes regarding the areas covered by

walk routes, Central Kitsap School District is reviewing its routes and hopes to have them updated and ready for parents and students by next school year, possibly sooner.

The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction advises districts to reduce liability by conducting regular reviews of the walk routes and establishing policy for walk route development.

Since Woodlands and Cottonwood are near Central Valley Road, the majority of suggested walking routes have students traveling along or crossing Central Valley Road.

The crosswalks at the elementary schools are con-

trolled by crossing guards in the morning. The junior high doesn’t have the same protections.

When a 17-year-old Olympic High School student was struck in the middle of a crosswalk inside a school zone on Central Valley Road Dec. 12, pedestrian safety once again became a topic of importance.

Less than two months before, Cassidy Ann Holtzman was hit and killed in Port Orchard on her way to catch her school bus.

Both events occurred in the early morning hours, involving students on their way to school.

In Jan. 2009, at the same Central Valley intersection

in which the girl was struck Dec. 12, another pedestrian was hit.

The 2009 incident occurred at 7:13 a.m., nearly the same time as the recent collision.

The driver was following a school bus south on Central Valley Road that morning in 2009, when the bus turned into the Fairview Junior High parking lot a couple hundred feet north of the crosswalk.

The driver proceeded south, striking a 12-year-old Fairview Junior High student in the crosswalk.

In both the 2009 and the recent collisions, it was dark when the pedestrians were hit.

Kitsap County received a

federal safety grant in 2009 from WSDOT to address safety improvements on rural county roads.

A press release from Kitsap County Public Works stated, “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 grant. This grant, however, did not limit the county to rural roads.

“Through this grant, 31 locations were identified where improved street lighting could improve safety,” the release stated.

ic union. Among those is the Deputy Sheriffs Guild which is in arbitration.

Jacquelyn Aufderheide, chief civil deputy prosecutor, who represents Kitsap County on labor and employment matters, said that arbitration hearings in October lasted more than four days and parties are now preparing the posthearing briefs to be submitted to the arbitrator. A final decision on that contract is expected sometime in late February.

Representatives of the

various unions who were contacted declined comment.

One public relations firm hired to represent the CenCom 911Supervisors and Employees Guild said it was not in a position to provide specifics at this time.

The contact person, Ginger Vaughan, said the negotiations are on-going and 911 Guild members are particularly concerned about across-the-board cuts to benefits, longevity, overtime and COLA increases.

She said she did not

expect any kind of agreement before the end of the year and that Guild employees would remain working under the current contract and extend negotiations into 2013.

The county unions involved in contract negotiations are: 911 Employees Guild, about 59 employees; the AFSCME Local 1308 Courthouse Employees, at 230 employees; AFSCME Local 1308 Courthouse Supervisors at 23 employees; the Corrections Officers Guild with 72 employees;

The Public Works Employees Roads and Utilities divisions (Operating engineers 302, Teamsters 589, IAM and AW District 160 /282 and the Laborers Union 252) with 59 employees; The Deputy Sheriffs Guild with 103 employees; the Juvenile Detention OPEIU Local 11, recently renamed to the Juvenile Detention Officers Guild, with 25 employees; the Lieutenants Association IUPA, with seven employees; the Parks and Recreation Teamsters Local 589 with 21 employees; the

Prosecuting Attorney Guild with 28 employees; and the Sheriff ’s Support Guild with 26 employees.

In addition to contract negotiations, Conill said there is a committee representing the county and various unions that is working on coming to agreement on the 2014 county employee’s benefits package. This group will continue working in 2013 until an agreement is reached.

CHARGED CONTINUED FROM A1

a soft rifle case and a backpack with a stolen semi-automatic rifle and a stolen semiautomatic handgun.

The deputy spoke to Mort’s father and learned about the physical altercation, threat and subsequent flight from the residence. The deputy also confirmed that the shotgun the father called about, a Maverick 12 gauge, pumpaction shotgun, was reported stolen on Nov. 17, 2010, from an address in the 200 block of NE Paulson Road in Poulsbo.

Backup was called for and the sheriff’s office requested assistance from Washington State Patrol aircraft and Smokey 4 ultimately responded. Using its FLIR (forward looking infrared imaging system), Smokey 4 directed deputies to Mort who was hiding in brush off of NE Beaumont Lane, in the Blueberry Meadows neighborhood off of Pine Road NE. Mort was taken into custody without further incident and was armed with the rifle and handgun as reported.

Both of these turned out to be previously reported stolen as well. The rifle, a Smith & Wesson MP15 .223 caliber semi-automatic was reported stolen May 7 from an address in the 3000 block of Rocky Point Road NW. The stolen handgun was a FNP 9 mm semi-automatic that was reported stolen Sept.

26, 2011, from the trunk of a parked vehicle in a commercial parking garage located at Burwell Street and Pacific Avenue in Bremerton.

Obama harnessed media A major reason President Obama won the elections of 2008 and 2012 was because he and his advisers harnessed the power of the data-mining capacities of the computer and the mass appeal of the Internet. Obama for America polled, communicated with, organized and milked supporters for donations more effectively than any other candidate in American history.

If we look at our national past, we see three other presidents who used the media of their day to sway public opinion to change the Political Talk nation.

The first president to use the media to serve his purposes was Teddy Roosevelt. His term of office began with the death of President William McKinley to an assassin’s bullet in 1901. McKinley, by example, taught Roosevelt what not to do in dealing with the press.

Back in the 1890s before Roosevelt became president, two Rich Elfers New York newspaper publishers, William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, had national influence because of the size of their publications and the use of paid reporters. Other newspapers throughout the country used the New York World and the Morning Journal as sources for their stories.

The publishers competed with each other and used sensationalized news accounts to stir up public sentiment against the Spanish who were trying to put down an insurrection in their Cuban colony. The writing style of Pulitzer and Hearst became know as yellow journalism.

Public opinion, stirred up by these two papers, successfully pressured President McKinley to ask Congress to go war against Spain, against his better judgment. Teddy Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the Navy at the time, observed this new media power and decided to use it to his advantage when he became president.

Teddy was masterful in using newspapers to shape public opinion. T.R. was able to bring an end to unhealthy corporate meatpacking practices in companies like Armour and Company.

He did this by publicly supporting and advertising the socialist journalist Upton Sinclair’s book “The Jungle.”

People were shocked at Sinclair’s stories about how rats, rat See elfers, A5

Cougar Valley Elementary school fills Santa’s mailbox

By WES MORROW Staff writer

Kim Lakes-Loveless, noon assistant at Cougar Valley Elementary School, got more than she expected when she brought her idea to school.

Lakes-Loveless was watching Good Morning America around Thanksgiving when the show mentioned a Letters to Santa program with Macy’s and the MakeA-Wish Foundation.

The program encouraged children to write letters to Santa and bring them to the special mailbox at Macy’s.

For every letter, Macy’s would donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Lakes-Loveless brought the idea to the students at

Cougar Valley, saying if they would write the letters, she would drop them off. She expected a decent response.

What she got was anything but average.

“I was thinking 50 letters,” Lakes-Loveless said. “It just absolutely exploded.”

Lakes-Loveless started receiving letter after letter.

Teachers started encouraging students to write letters for exercises. Students would write letters at home, bringing in whole stacks each morning.

“There are kids that wrote 30, 40, 50 letters,” LakesLoveless said.

Each day, Lakes-Loveless would collect and tally the letters. When the tally passed the number of students at Cougar Valley,

Community news DOL continues expansion of driver testing outside of offices On Jan. 1, the Department of Licensing will continue expansion of a new program allowing driver training schools and school district driver training programs across the state to conduct driver knowledge and skills testing for new driver license applicants.

“This program continues to operate smoothly, so we are stopping testing in several more offices as of the first of the year,” said DOL Director Alan Haight. “There are even more driver training schools that are ready to conduct drive tests, and we have definitely seen an improvement in the wait times for our customers that must come and visit us.”

As of Jan. 1, driver knowledge and skills tests will no longer be offered in Bremerton and Poulsbo. Previously scheduled drive tests will be honored in

around 530, she contacted Macy’s.

Kim Kuhlman at the Silverdale Macy’s responded enthusiastically. On Friday, what Macy’s dubbed “Believe Day,” Kuhlman and two of her associates from Macy’s made the trip to Cougar Valley, bringing the Santa’s special mailbox with them.

When Cougar Valley students filed into the cafeteria for lunch on Friday, they were greeted by a large golden “Believe” meter and a bright red mailbox.

Kuhlman said on Believe Day Macy’s doubles their donation from $1 per letter to $2. So when student council president Ryan Nguyen and vice president Katie Coven dropped bun-

dle after bundle letters into the mailbox, they doubled their contribution.

When all was said and done on Friday, Students at Cougar Valley had dropped more than 1,600 letters into the Macy’s mailbox. Their letters raised more than $3,250 for the Make-AWish Foundation.

“I am so proud of these kids,” Lakes-Loveless said.

“They’re just amazing.”

Nguyen and Coven were present at the second of three lunch periods on Friday. The students at that lunch-period, composed primarily of older students, contributed more than 1,160 of the school’s letters.

“They got the concept that it wasn’t so much about writing to Santa. That it’s

these offices. The Department of Licensing will continue to offer tests in areas that don’t have driver training schools nearby that offer testing.

To conduct driver tests, driver training schools must be licensed with the state or be part of a state-certified public school driver training program. They have to apply for the authority to administer driver testing, and are subject to audits and record checks.

After passing the tests, customers will go to a licensing office to obtain their license. Customers are still required to pay the driver license application fee to DOL. Driver training schools will set the fee they charge for the tests.

The program is the final phase of implementing House Bill 1635, which gives the Department authority to contract with private driver training schools, school districts and motorcycle training schools to conduct some knowledge and skills tests. The bill was passed in an effort to reduce wait times in licensing service offices.

more of a community service project,” Lakes-Loveless said.

Many letters were written on pictures of Santa, his beard acting as the writing space. Despite the high volume of letters many children wrote, the quality or length of the letters didn’t seem to be shortened.

Many of the letters had to have extra beard taped to the end to fit all the writing. It wasn’t all long lists of present lists, either. Many letters made no mention of gifts, or requests at all.

One letter, written by “Aleah,” asked Santa if Mrs. Claus might be able to make the trip with him this year.

The author of another letter seemed mostly interested in the well-being of

everyone at the North Pole, from Santa and Mrs. Claus to each of the Elves.

Last year, Macy’s received 398,488 letters on Believe Day. Kuhlman said when she was telling the Cougar Valley kids how much Macy’s will donate, she heard one of the students turn toward a friend and ask, “Is Macy’s going to go broke if they donate all this money?”

Now that the school has had so much success with the program, Lakes-Loveless hopes continue the trend.

Not only does she want to see Cougar Valley students replicate their success next year, she said she also wants to extend a challenge the other elementary schools.

Franklin D. Roosevelt learned from his distant cousin’s example to use the new media of his era, the radio, to gather support for

his New Deal programs during the Great Depression of the 1930s. FDR’s radio “Fireside Chats” allowed him to use his powerful and engaging personality to bring about major changes to the government.

Cougars fall short against South Kitsap

By Chris Chancellor cchancellor@portorchardindependent.com

There was a brief moment of anticipation among the crowd as rival Central Kitsap threatened South Kitsap’s two-decade long Narrows League domination.

But the bustle ended quickly as the Wolves won the final seven matches to claim their 187th consecutive dual league win since 1992 with a 49-28 victory Tuesday night.

After Illya Tsveytkov and Kyle Kennedy gave South a 12-0 lead with forfeit wins at 195 and 220 pounds, the Cougars responded by winning five consecutive matches to take a 28-12 lead.

That is when the Wolves’ depth in the middle weight classes was accentuated.

Perhaps none were more significant than one of the few close matches of the contest — Adam Lutovsky’s 10-9 win against Brad Schaffer at 138.

“That kid was really tough,” Lutovsky said. “I was really nervous.”

Lutovsky’s cut South’s deficit to 28-21. The Wolves then regained their lead, 33-28, after Ben de Lacy

and Adam Gascoyne earned forfeit wins at 145 and 152.

The Cougars forfeited four matches.

Coach Mike Harter said two involved injuries, while the others were wrestlers not showing up at practice.

Even though the latter ones cost his team 12 points, he said he was not willing to be flexible with team rules.

“If they don’t practice, they don’t wrestle,” Harter said. “They sometimes think because they’re the only guy that I’m going to change my mind.”

South, which forfeited a couple of matches, did not secure the win until the second to last match at 170 when Bryce Broome pinned Kyle Stroble in 1:50.

“That is the strength of our team from 132 up,” Nass said. “I thought our seniors stepped up.”

Three days after finishing the two-day HammerHead Invitational, where the Wolves finished fifth, Lutovsky said the team was “beat up and sick.”

Nass tried to counter some of that. He rested heavyweight Damien Medeiros, who remained undefeated after scoring a

2-0 victory against Cody Ring of Ketchikan (Alaska) in the HammerHead.

South’s other first-place finisher at that invitational was Caleenda Johnson, who pinned Washougal’s Sara Sanchez in 41 seconds in the girls’ 130 final.

“We wrestled well for two days,” Nass said. “It was a pretty good tournament for us.”

After winning her second HammerHead title with a 4-1 victory against Kelso’s Mireille Powers in the 100pound girls’ final, CK’s Alison Johnson returned to pin Matt Pace in 5:08 at 106 Tuesday.

“That kid came out and got really physical initially,” Harter said. “She weathered that storm and just went to work and did a great job. She did a great job at HammerHead and that carried over.”

While noting that he was happy with how his team competed, Harter said they have plenty of room for improvement, which was a sentiment Nass shared about his own squad.

After Thursday’s match at Bellarmine Prep, the Wolves do not compete again until

the Dec. 28 Pacific Coast Tournament. They do not resume league competition until Jan 10 against Olympia.

Without the burden of homework, Nass has plenty of areas of focus during the break.

“We’re kind of tentative on our feet at times,” he said.

“When we’re on top we ride well, but we’re not breaking

and I took in the sweet smell of his sleepy breath and his dark eyelashes pressed against the tops of his cheeks.

“Let’s put him back in his own bed now,” Dustin said an hour later.

But I can’t let him go.

I can’t stop thinking about how my own kindergartner would have had no idea what was happening. He’s never seen violence. He’s never even seen the scary parts of Harry Potter or Star Wars.

He wasn’t born yet on 9/11.

He’s still afraid of the dark.

He won’t go upstairs unless someone goes with him. His biggest fear is “monsters.”

“They live here on the earth, you know,” he tells me.

He thinks dirty diapers and silly noises are funny.

He knows there are other countries and states, but I doubt he fully understands it. “So, do we live in the city of Maine?” he sometimes asks. “Or is Maine our country?”

His world is our home and his kindergarten class.

His biggest concern is wanting to read like his older brothers.

His greatest annoyance is his dog Sparky stealing food from his plate.

He has no idea what happened in Newtown, Conn., Friday.

How would I even begin to explain?

My older boys had to know. We had to tell them.

They’d surely find out any-

way. They can read, and they have varying, age-appropriate understandings of the larger world around them.

But I don’t believe either one of them fully understood (until Friday) that evil truly exists.

When I told Owen, 10, he covered his mouth with his hand and said quietly, “Like Anakin in Episode Three?”

Then he started to cry.

At first I was confused.

Then I remembered the scene: Anakin walking into the Jedi Temple and killing a classroom of children.

I stopped for a moment, stunned. My son has such a limited understanding of evil, the only connection he can find is with fiction. (Or, maybe this is part of our society’s problem?)

In many ways, I was comforted that my son couldn’t say, like so many of us adults have, “No, not another one!

This has to stop! What is happening to our world?”

Owen has no concept of the horrible things that people do. Even 9/11 is historical for him. He is innocent and childlike, as his Star Wars comment suggests.

Children aren’t supposed to understand these things.

Many times, they aren’t even capable of it. And children certainly aren’t supposed to experience them, as the school children in Newtown did.

Before Owen went to bed Friday night, he knelt beside his sleeping younger brother’s bed. He pet Lindell’s head and smoothed his hair.

“I can’t stop thinking about those kids,” he said.

I doubt any of us ever will.

Engineman, Machinist’s Mate ratings realign The Navy announced the realignment of approximately 2,000 sailors from the Engineman (EN) rating to the Machinist’s Mate (MM) rating and disestablishment of the Full Time Support (FTS) EN rating according to a Navy message released Wednesday.

The move will enhance surface ship readiness and improve diesel engine proficiency and effectiveness, according to NAVADMIN 382/12.

“By realigning Engineman and Machinist’s Mates who already have certain skills, the Navy will not only improve fleet readiness, but allow those sailors to continue to have a viable career in the Navy,” said Master Chief Machinist’s Mate (SW/AW) Jerome Tellis, MM technical advisor, Bureau of Naval

Personnel/Millington.

EN sailors will be responsible for diesel operation, repair and maintenance.

Current EN sailors who have experience in diesel propulsion, as indicated by a combination of a primary Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) code and last billet filled, will remain an EN and those who have an auxiliary background will be converted to MM. The following NECs will remain EN: 4302, 4303, 4304, 4305, 4306, 4308, 4310, 4314, 4324, 4333, 4334, 4340, 4342, 4343, 4346, 4366 and 4370. However, based on career progression in regards to pay grade, Sea Shore Flow and billet distribution, some EN sailors with limited diesel propulsion experience will also remain EN, as determined

by enlisted community managers.

Sailors in the MM rating will not be affected by this realignment unless they desire to convert to EN. NAVADMIN 382/12 details realignment actions and timelines required by units with ENs and MMs. Sailors affected by the EN and MM realignment should have a career development board with their chain of command to address all options as a result of the realignment.

Enlisted community managers will make final determination on shifting personnel between EN and MM ratings to support overall community health and needs of the Navy.

For E1-E9 active-duty and E6-E9 reserve sailors, official conversion from EN or

MM rated sailors will be effective May 1, and E1-E5 Reserve conversions will be effective Oct. 1, 2013.

The FTS EN rating, which has about 280 sailors, will be disestablished Oct. 1, 2013.

After an extensive review of advancement opportunity, career diversity and the reduction of FTS EN billets resulting from the EN/ MM rating realignment, officials decided to remove the EN rating from the FTS program. These sailors can remain FTS and covert to another FTS rating that has convert-in quotas; remain in the EN rating or convert to MM and reenlist in the active component; request early separation; or if eligible, transfer to the Fleet/ Reserve or retire by Sept.

30, 2013.

Putting money in your hands

By Calvin W. Goings Regional Administrator

For two years in a row the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has helped to put more than $30 billion into the hands of small business owners across the country. In Fiscal Year 2012, the SBA loan programs posted the second largest dollar volume ever, surpassed only by the dollar volume in FY 2011, which was heavily boosted by the loan incentives under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010.

The pace of SBA loanmaking is a healthy sign for the national economy and the credit markets and is one of the foundations for ensuring the availability of financing to small businesses trying to establish themselves, grow and create new jobs for Americans.

R ight here in Washington, the Seattle District Office supported 1,430 loans for over $637 million dollars.

During the past year, SBA began streamlining

and simplifying many of the loan programs to provide more access and opportunity for both lenders and small businesses.

As part of this effort, SBA encouraged lenders to use more of their own paperwork and the agency’s updated processing systems, so that more than 80 percent of its loan applications can now be processed online.

These efforts, along with other loan enhancements, have resulted in nearly 1,300 lenders returning to SBA lending, and have opened up more points of capital access for small businesses wherever they do business. And, we have the results to prove it.

• 504 loans dollars set record By simply improving the loan making process and reducing paperwork, we saw a record year for the Certified Development Company (504) loan program, which helped 9,471 entrepreneurs supporting $15.09 billion in small business lending.

• CAPLines loan program A revamped CAPLines program, which provides working lines of credit to small businesses such as manufacturers and government contractors, jumped 400 percent from 108 loans and $118 million in FY 2011, to 532 loans and $410 million in FY 2012.

• Low-dollar loans

Lenders are making more low-dollar loans using the advantage loan programs — Community Advantage and Small Loan Advantage (SLA).

These programs encourage lenders to make lowdollar loans, which are an important tool for small businesses.

The number of Community Advantage loans increased more than 11-fold from FY 2011 to FY 2012. The Small Loan Advantage ended the fiscal year with 820 loans for $105.6 million. And, nearly 80 percent of the year’s SLA loans came after SBA simplified the loan process on June 1.

• SBA’s growth capital program The Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) debenture program provided a record $2.95 billion to small businesses in FY 2012, a 14 percent increase over the previous year and the highest single-year volume in the 54-year history of the program. This is due in part to a number of improvements that contributed to an increased number of new SBIC licenses and reduced license processing times. As we look forward to 2013, SBA stands ready to help you start, grow or expand your business We’re ready to put money in your hands. For more information about our loan programs, visit: www.sba.gov.

Most Washington employers to see same or lower unemployment tax rates in 2013 Unemployment tax rates in 2013 will be unchanged or lower for three-fourths of Washington employers, according to the state’s Employment Security Department.

Overall, the average total tax per employee will rise by $37, to $499 for the year. However, each employer’s actual tax bill will depend on the amount of wages paid to employees and the employer’s rate class.

Some employers will pay more in 2013 because their layoffs increased in the past four years, while others may see a slight increase due to the amount of wages that are taxed. Taxable wages — also called the taxable wage base — will increase from $38,200 in 2012 to $39,800 in 2013 because the state’s average wage grew in 2011.

In 2013, 14 percent of employers will move into lower rate classes, 61 percent won’t change, and 25 percent will move into higher rate classes. More than one-third of all employers will be in the lowest rate class because they had no layoffs in the past four years.

Thanks to a permanent tax cut approved by the state legislature and the governor in 2011, unemployment tax rates in each of the state’s 40 rate classes will remain unchanged from 2012, ranging from 0.14 percent to 5.82 percent.

Employment Security Commissioner Paul Trause said most employers in this state have been spared the large rate hikes that are occurring in other states in the wake of the recession because Washington entered the recession with a healthy benefits trust fund.

“We didn’t have to borrow money to pay benefits, and that’s paying big dividends for our employers during the economic recovery,” said Trause. “Instead of raising tax rates to pay off loans, we were able to cut them.”

In Washington, unemployment taxes are based largely on each employer’s layoff experience, averaged over four years. The more benefits paid out to former employees in the past four years, the higher the employer’s tax rate will be.

For 2013, the experience-

based portion of the unemployment tax will reflect benefits paid from July 2008 through June 2012, which includes the peak years of the recession.

Beginning in 2014, many employers will begin to slide back down the rate scale as recession years are gradually dropped and post-recession years are added to the calculation.

Central Kitsap Food Bank totals Pacific Northwest Title along with support from local real estate and lending offices, chamber of commerce and the community has concluded their eighth annual holiday food drive to benefit Kitsap County food banks. The food banks received a total of 9,519 pounds of food and $815.

The results by area are listed below: • 151 pounds plus $100 cash was delivered to Helpline House on Bainbridge Island.

• 200 pounds was delivered to ShareNet Food Bank in Kingston.

• 790 pounds was delivered to the North Kitsap Fishline in Poulsbo.

who want to start, grow or expand their business,” said SBA Administrator Karen Mills. “For entrepreneurs who find themselves unemployed, the SEA website and toolkit will help them turn small business ownership into a reality and possibly put others back to work at the same time — a win-win scenario.”

Participation in SelfEmployment Assistance programs is voluntary for eligible Unemployment Insurance recipients, and enables them to receive financial assistance equal to their Unemployment Insurance benefits while they receive important entrepreneurial training and resources to help launch their own businesses. The new website provides tools and technical assistance to states that are considering implementing or enhancing a Self-Employment Assistance program, and additional resources to help savvy entrepreneurs launch their businesses and create new jobs.

“Small businesses are the country’s economic engine, and programs like SelfEmployment Assistance will encourage more Americans to pursue their dreams of becoming entrepreneurs,” said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. “This new website will expand access to Self-Employment Assistance so that those who are unemployed today can become successful business owners tomorrow.”

A key component of the new website is the SBA toolkit, which contains several free, online resources available through the SBA to support new entrepreneurs.

SBA and U.S. Labor Department announce new Multi Chamber website Legislative The U.S. Small Business Summit Administration and the U.S. Department of Labor today jointly announced a new website to support state workforce and unemployment agencies in implementing or enhancing Self-Employment Assistance programs.

treats altogether. For example, make a list of your favorite holiday foods and then pick two or three to enjoy this year. Another technique is to prepare holiday treats in smaller quantities, like baking a small cake that the family will finish at one sitting with no tempting leftovers. Also, use low-calorie, low-fat substitutes for rich ingredients like sugar, butter or cream.

Whatever changes you make, it is important to ask your family members and friends to respect your choices and to refrain from tempting you with other holiday goodies.

Sometimes the stress of the holidays causes people to eat more than usual. If that’s the case, it helps to ask family and friends for support and, importantly, to engage in activities that produce feelings of contentment or happiness.

For additional tips for controlling or reducing calories during the holidays, or if you have specific medical concerns about your diet and body weight, talk with your primary care physician or other professional health care provider.

HIV/AIDS Foundation coming in 2013

Kitsap County HIV AIDS Foundation (KCHAF) has been providing services to HIV AIDS clients in Kitsap County since 1991.

Several years ago KCHAF’s board voted to incorporate a youth center, the Q Center, which focuses on the needs of Kitsap County’s youth who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) and ally youth.

As the only agency working exclusively with Kitsap LGBTQ youth, with special attention to HIV AIDS prevention, anti-bullying, and more, KCHAF has an obligation to better serve that population.

Therefore, effective Jan.1 KCHAF

will focus only on prevention and will be doing business as Q Youth Resources.

The Q Center Drop-In uses the nationally recognized “40 Developmental Assets Model” and it will remain our core program.

Q Youth Resources will strengthen its programs and add additional support and services for youth over time.

These links provide information on HIV AIDS concerning youth and bullying statistics regarding LGBTQ youth.

For information please call Kim McKoy, executive director, at (360) 698-3335 or mail@kchaf.org.

Health District announces holiday closures

Similarly, the district will be closed Dec. 31, and Jan. 1, in observance of the New Year’s holiday.

The Kitsap Public Health District offices, located at 345 6th Street, Suite 300, in Bremerton, will be closed on Dec. 24 as well as Dec. 25, in observance of the Christmas holiday.

Public health professionals remain on duty 24/7 to safeguard the health of the community. To report urgent public health problems when the district is closed, call 911.

County commissioners to establish animal control committee Reduced revenues since 2008 have led to a series of cuts for Kitsap County programs, including animal control services. These reductions have required modifications adjusting responsibilities and prioritizing services in the county’s contract with the Kitsap Humane Society.

As revenues are unlikely to keep up with costs of salaries and other expenses at the humane society, the Board of County Commissioners is interested in public discussion of animal control and animal welfare responsibilities. To facilitate this,

the board will establish a citizens’ advisory committee whose mission will be to provide recommendations regarding taxpayer responsibilities for specific animal control and animal welfare services required by state law or historically provided in unincorporated Kitsap County to include: • Animal cruelty, • Dangerous animals, • Livestock at-large, • Collection of domestic animals at-large (stray animals), • Veterinary care of stray animals (vaccinations, spay/ neuter, emergency care),

• Kenneling duration for stray animals (length of stay), • Adoption/relocation programs, • Feral animals and trap, neuter and release programs, • Animal noise complaints and • Pet licensing programs.

The committee will consist of nine members to serve as non-compensated volunteers appointed by the board, two from each commissioner district and three at-large members. The board is seeking applicants with expertise in one or

more of the following areas: • Animal welfare • Veterinary care • Large organization budgeting • Law enforcement or code implementation The committee will meet twice monthly through May to discuss the current requirements of state law and county code regarding animal control services; challenges in the provision of animal control and animal welfare services on a countywide level; techniques of other jurisdictions; costs of specific animal welfare services; and

direct and indirect public benefits of each service.

Through these discussions, the committee will provide recommendations to the board to include: • Prioritization of animal control functions, • Animal control functions that should be discontinued, if any, • Taxpayer responsibility for specific animal control functions, • Cost savings in animal control services and • Revenue generation alternatives for specific services.

These recommendations

will be considered by the board during the 2014 budget discussion beginning in the summer of 2013.

The board will be soliciting applications for committee members through Dec. 24.

AMBER Alert scam reported by state patrol The Washington State Patrol has received reports from a number of citizens who received calls soliciting donations to support “AMBER Alerts.”

In part of the solicitation, the callers report the money being raised goes to support the AMBER Alert program, including that 30 percent of the funds are for overhead costs associated with the program. At least one solicitation indicated they were calling on behalf of WSP. This information is inaccurate; WSP does not rely on public donations for the administration of the AMBER Alert system.

These calls appear to be a scam.

WSP oversees the AMBER Alert sys-

tem in Washington state. Most local agencies across the state have their own approved plans, which are implemented when a child is abducted or goes missing under suspicious circumstances. Neither WSP, local agencies, nor anyone on our behalf is soliciting funds to support the AMBER Alert system in Washington State. The origin of these calls is unknown and WSP currently lacks sufficient information to begin an investigation.

WSP has confirmed the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and amberalert. com are not doing any fundraising or telephone solicitations.

News notes Recycle rate tops 50 percent Washington state’s recycling rate grew to its highest level reaching 50.7 percent in 2011, according to data reported today by the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology).

This is the first time the recycling rate has topped the 50 percent goal set by a 1989 Washington state law. The latest available national average recycling rate was 34 percent in 2010.

Washington residents continue to recycle more and throw away less. The total amount of municipal waste recycled by state residents increased by more than 186,000 tons in 2011, up 4 percent from 2010.

That equals 3.64 pounds per person per day collected for recycling, which is the highest ever measured in Washington, since Ecology began measuring recycling in 1986.

The total amount of waste tossed out by households and businesses has been decreasing through the recession, and in 2011 that trend continued.

Disposal dropped by about 170,000 tons or 4 percent in 2011. Citizens threw away 3.54 pounds of waste per person per day in landfills, the lowest amount in 24 years.

The amount of waste diverted from landfill disposal for other uses – including recycling, energy recovery and reuse – increased from 54.3 percent in 2010 to 57.2 percent in 2011.

This is largely because we disposed of less construction and demolition related materials in landfills. While the amount of construction and demolition related materials diverted from landfills stayed relatively even, less was disposed, causing the overall diversion rate to go up.

Before donating to a charity, it’s important to research the charity before you make a contribution.

The Washington state Secretary of State’s website provides some excellent resources to help the public identify legitimate charities. The bottom line, ask questions before you make a contribution.

The link to the Secretary of State’s website is http://www.sos.wa.gov/charities/consumer_faq.aspx Information on Washington State AMBER Alert Plan can be found at http://www.wsp.wa.gov/crime/amber. htm

Ecology Director Ted Sturdevant said: “The goal of Washington state’s solid and hazardous waste plan is to prevent waste and toxics whenever we can.

We appreciate all the efforts of all of our partners, from individuals to local governments to private entities, who help keep valuable resources out of landfills. ” Ecology’s data showed that recycling rates increased for cardboard, newspaper, metals, and electronics. Metals – such as ferrous, nonferrous and steel cans – accounted for over half of the increase in recycling. Less wood was collected for recycling in 2011 than in previous years.

Recycling in Washington continues to result in important environmental gains. In 2011, recycling materials instead of sending them to landfills helped us avoid emitting 3.2 million tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, similar to keeping 1.9 million cars off the road.

Also, recycling saved 139 trillion British thermal units (BTUs) of energy.

This is equivalent to conserving 1.1 billion gallons of gasoline – enough to power 1.2 million homes for a year (nearly half the households in Washington).

“Reducing and recycling waste have economic, environmental and public health benefits for our state’s residents,” Sturdevant said. “It protects our water and reduces our exposure to toxic chemicals, which lowers health risks. And it can build a clean, green economy for Washington’s future.”

discussion CONTINUED FROM A2

Two locations on Central Valley Road were identified as locations that would benefit from improved lighting: at the intersection of Levin Road north of Waaga Way and at the intersection of Foster drive, just north of Fairview near Cottonwood Elementary.

Central Valley Road south of Waaga Way has three Central Kitsap District schools, two elementary schools and a junior high.

Woodlands Elementary, Cottonwood Elementary and Fairview Junior High are all within one mile of each other.

According to the 2001 National Household Transportation Survey, 63 percent of students living within one mile of school walk or bike to class.

At least seven collisions involving pedestrians and one involving a bicyclist have occurred on Central Valley just in the space between Woodlands Elementary and Fairview Junior High since 2001.

That is a distance of less than half a mile.

Six of those collisions occurred in the morning at or before 7:30 a.m., a time when students are walking to school, often in the dark.

Since 2009, Public Works

has received five calls from members of the public concerned with safety on Central Valley Road.

Specifically, the area south of Waaga Way is highlighted among them.

The first complaint, raised in 2009, said, “Students are walking in the area in all types of weather and in all levels of darkness.”

Another complaint, raised in 2011, addressed concern about the small size of the road’s shoulders and lack of any sidewalks.

There are no sidewalks along the stretch of Central Valley Road from Waaga Way down past all three schools. Pedestrians are more than twice as likely to be struck by a vehicle in locations without sidewalks, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In 2012, a resident again raised concerns about the street’s safety, especially for an area with three schools: “We need to have better, more visible signage on Central Valley Road to protect the children, from three schools, all who must travel along this road during dark, rainy or just busy traffic times.”

Jeff Shea, a Kitsap County traffic engineer, said the county commissioners will have the option to approve the lighting proposal for the 31 locations on Jan. 15, 2013.

Winter storm safety tips Winter storms can range from moderate snow over a few hours to a blizzard that lasts for a few days. Regardless of the severity of a winter storm, the American Red Cross wants people on Kitsap Peninsula to be prepared and to remain safe during these events.

“Many winter storms bring low tem-

peratures, strong winds, sleet and freezing rain,” said Dave Rasmussen, West Sound Emergency Services Manager. “Make sure you have emergency supplies for your entire household in case you end up having to remain in your home for a few days.”

Before the Storm People should know the difference between a winter storm watch and a warning. A watch is issued when winter storm conditions are possible within the next 36 to 48 hours. During a warning, severe weather conditions have already begun or will begin within 24 hours and people should immediately take precautions.

The Red Cross recommends having the following items on hand in a convenient

Friday, December 21, 2012

spot: • At least a 3-day supply of water (one gallon per person per day) and non-perishable food; • A flashlight, battery-powered NOAA Weather Radio and extra batteries; • A well-stocked first aid kit; • A seven-day supply of medications and medical items; and • Supplies for babies and pets.

People can learn what to do in an emergency in case advanced medical help is delayed by taking a First Aid and CPR/ AED course and by downloading the free American Red Cross First Aid App. When a Storm is Coming • Listen and watch for critical informa-

tion from the National Weather Service.

• Bring pets inside. Move other animals and livestock to sheltered areas.

• Stay inside. If people must go out, wear warm, loose-fitting, lightweight clothing in layers.

• Minimize travel. If travel is necessary, keep emergency supplies in vehicles.

Rasmussen reminds everyone: “Check in on your neighbors — especially those requiring special assistance and those living alone.”

ike so many North Kitsap residents, we sent our check to Bellringer, the extraordinary holiday program started in 1946 by Frank and Mabel Raab and administered by the Poulsbo Noon Lions. Last year, $33,061 was raised, providing 102 Christmas dinners for local families and helping more than 300 local people in need.

As I put the check in the mail I was reminded of a great gift I was given last holiday season — Ted Gup’s remarkable book, “A Secret Gift.” Gup, a former reporter for The Washington Post, was given a suitcase full of memorabilia from his grandmother. Opening the suitcase some months later, he found a roll of letters wrapped around an ad from the Dec. 17, 1933 Canton Repository.

The ad indicated the writer knew of the dire economic times families were experiencing and that he pledged to help 50 to 75 families during the holiday season. Anyone seeking such assistance should write B. Virdot, General Delivery, Canton, Ohio. The requests and gifts would be kept confidential.

Gup had never heard the name “B. Virdot” and had no idea why the letters were in the suitcase.

Opening the letters, his journey of discovery began.

Use white wine to add flair to your dish NW Wines I

f you want to add a bit of flair to an upcoming meal, try incorporating wine as an ingredient.

Cooking with wine might sound exotic, but many chefs find ways to work wine into their recipes to add harmony and flair to a dish.

This week and next, we will take a look at how to easily add wine into your cooking, thanks to tips from two of Washington’s most wine-focused chefs.

Today, we focus on white wine. Next week, we will look at how to use red wines in the kitchen.

The first tip: Never cook with a wine you wouldn’t drink. Cooking with bad wine is like adding stale spices or moldy vegetables. It will not taste good, even if you’re really hungry. The wine should be opened and checked

for flaws before it is added as an ingredient.

Additionally, consider serving the same wine you’re cooking with at the table. It should make for a superb pairing.

John Sarich, longtime culinary director and ambassador for Chateau Ste. Michelle in Woodinville, says white wine is a versatile ingredient. For a rich cream sauce, he will reach for Chardonnay or Viognier, wines that are a bit softer in acidity. For Asian dishes, he looks to incorporate high-acid varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling.

One of his favorite

John Sarich, culinary director and ambassador for Chateau Ste. Michelle in Woodinville.

Chateau Ste. Michelle

easy-to-make dishes is to sprinkle scallops with sea salt and sear them in a pan with just a bit of butter.

Once they are browned on both sides, remove the

scallops and add a cup of Chardonnay or Viognier, a bit of tarragon, Dijon mustard and chopped shallots to the browned butter. He might also add a bit of cream. Stir and reduce until you have a cream sauce to pour over the shallots.

“At the end, it always needs a bit of acid,” Sarich said. “So a squeeze of lemon over the dish just brightens up all the flavors.”

Frank Magaña, a chef based in Washington’s Yakima Valley, said he incorporates wine into his cooking about 80 percent of the time.

He loves using white wine to build a sauce. For example, he will brown chicken, then while the pan is still hot, he will deglaze the pan with white wine. He’ll then add

onions and garlic.

“That’s the base of your sauce,” he said. “It binds all of your flavors together.”

Magaña will do the same thing when caramelizing onions. He will add a splash of dry white wine to pick up all the sugars left in the pan.

For shellfish, Magaña likes a high-acid dry wine.

“With the minerality of the shellfish, it goes really well,” he said.

He’ll often use a dry white wine as the base for a sauce to go with barbecued oysters.

A popular myth in some kitchens is that all alcohol “cooks out” of wines or spirits used in a recipe.

This is not quite true.

Magaña says about half the alcohol in a wine will dissipate during the cooking process — and more,

ell, today turned out to be a great day.

The doorbell rang and I had an unexpected visitor.

When I opened the door I was so glad to see him.

Big hugs followed with, “I’m hungry. What do you have to eat?”

I had to laugh because he knows me so well.

I love nothing more

key, bacon and balsamic sweet onion jam.

I said to him, “How about a Savory Meaty Turkey Bacon Turnover?”

The reply came out quicker than I could turn on the oven. “Yes, please!”

So we chatted while I rolled out the dough on my pastry board.

Instructions Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Use a GF floured rolling pin to roll the dough out to approximately 1/4 inch.

I used a ruffled edge pastry cutter to cut the dough into a square.

The size depends on the appetite of the guest.

Place the GF dough on a parchment paper and on

Be sure to leave approximately 3/4 to 1 inch around the sides to allow for sealing.

Add the cooked, crumbled bacon.

Make an egg wash and brush it around the inside edge of the dough.

Gently fold the empty side of the dough over the ingredients and press lightly with a fork to seal the edges.

Add a little milk or cream to the egg which will allow for the browning.

Sprinkle the top with Matiz Smoked Sea Salt.

Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Keep and eye on it and turn the pan for even browning.

Serve with fresh homemade guacamole seasoned with chili peppers for an extra kick to compliment the sweet onion jam.

Speaking of the sweet onion jam, I use Braswell’s and it is made with Balsamic and Sweet Vidalia Onions. It is an amazing jam to have in your kitchen. It is the perfect answer to give just about anything a perfectly savory sweet flavor on sandwiches, burgers, gluten-free crackers and cheese. Besides, it comes in the beautiful European reusable glass. This makes a great hostess gift paired with a variety of

depending on how long you cook the sauce.

Both chefs also enjoy using wine to make salad dressing.

One of Magaña’s go-to recipes for salad dressing is a half-cup of dry white wine, three-quarters of a cup of olive oil, a tablespoon of dried Dijon mustard powder and two tablespoons of dried herbs (thyme, rosemary and parsley, for example). If using dried herbs, make it a half-tablespoon. Then, add a half-tablespoon of white vinegar (balsamic, if you have it). All of this is mixed together in an empty olive oil bottle and served.

cheeses, hearty glutenfree crackers and wine. I love, love, love Braswell’s!

Let’s get down to the gluten-free dough.

The Maninis Gluten Free Multiuso flour is my favorite gluten-free flour mix that I must always have in my gluten-free kitchen!

2 1/4 cups Maninis Gluten Free Multiuso Flour + a little extra for kneading 1/2 cup cold butter, unsalted or Earth Balance Non-Dairy Soy Free GF 1/2 cup palm shortening 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup ice cold water 1 tsp thyme 1 tsp Italian seasoning 1 tsp celery seed 2 pinches of sea salt Mix all of the ingredients together in the food processor.

Place the dough on a floured pastry board.

Knead the dough into a disc shape.

Place the dough into a self sealing bag and chill for at least 1 hour.

You can make so many different things with this dough. Make it savory or sweet. Add some imagination and your favorite ingredients to the dough or inside as a filling.

So good to see my handsome young friend. I especially loved the look on his face when he took the first bite!

Priceless ...

Here’s a yoga practice anyone can master I

t takes years to master the techniques of yoga, but there are some short, easy to learn practices that almost anyone can do in just a few minutes. The catch is you have to do them regularly.

It’s just that simple. I think you’ll find them transformational. n Subject: Being uptight. n Practice: Take a chest breath and, after a slight pause, release. Take an upper belly breath (right

below the ribs). Hold … and release. Take a lower belly breath, pause and lift your toes, exhale and release the toes. n Theory: When you’re under stress, you unconsciously pull your chest, solar plexus, lower belly and perineum in and up.

You also grip the floor with your toes. This practice tells the body and the mind to relax. n Comment: Most of us are in low-grade “flight or fight” all the time, to the great detriment of our health. Do this when you notice that you need a break.

n Note: “When awareness comes, everything begins to change.”

PAWS Pet Adoption In the last ten years, PAWS of Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap has found loving homes for more than 3,500 cats and kittens. Our 37-yearold nonprofit organization relies on individual donors and receives no government support.

Many PAWS cats stay temporarily in foster homes where we assess their personalities in order to match them up with the perfect family. We are indebted to our many foster families for their wonderful work.

Prior to adoption, PAWS cats and kittens are spayed or neutered, cleared for feline leukemia and FIV, given initial vaccinations, treated for worms, ear mites, and fleas, and implanted with microchip identification.

The adoption fee is $150 per kitten, $110 per adult cat (1-5 years old), $50 per cat 6 years or older. Coupons for $65 off adult cat adoptions are available for anyone over 65. Included in the adoption package is a certificate for a free vet exam. For more information on Adoption Policies, visit
