Lawsuit filed over Extreme K Mud Run Suit filed against Silverdale Chamber of Commerce, Royal Farms and Kitsap Mall By MEGAN STEPHENSON mstephenson@soundpublising.com
Wendy Davis, Poulsbo police sergeant and former deputy chief, filed a civil suit Dec. 19 with two other women, Jaclyn Brant and Germaine Szewezyk, claiming the organizers of the Extreme K Mud Run were “grossly negligent” in designing the course. Davis, Brant and Szewezyk filed against RDGB Royal Farms on Paulson Road in Poulsbo, Silverdale Chamber of Commerce and Kitsap Mall. The suit states the farm designed, managed, directed and maintained the course, and the chamber and Kitsap Mall were sponsors, promoters, beneficiaries, organizers, designers and/or
supervisors of the run. The Extreme K Mud Run was held Oct. 6 at Royal Farms. The three women each “suffered [severe] displaced left ankle and foot fractures” that required surgery. They are claiming they suffered physical and mental pain, disability, discomfort and anguish, loss of earnings and impairment of future earning capacity that will continue for an indefinite period of time. The suit claims one of the obstacles, a “vertical chute/slide” with a rocky mud puddle at the bottom — called “Gravity’s Revenge” — was dangerous. The obstacle consisted of a ravine covered in heavy black plastic that was kept wetted down by the run’s staff. “Participants were hastily instructed to ‘slide’ down the obstacle toward the bottom of the ravine. No other instructions or warnings were given,” the suit stated. “As plaintiffs impacted the rocks at the bottom of the slide at a high rate of speed, they each sustained the severe injuries …”
The suit also stated paramedics were called to bring up “numerous injured participants” from the bottom of the slide. “After repeated calls from medical [personnel] to close the hazardous obstacle, defendants agreed,” the suit stated. Davis, Brant and Szewezyk are seeking monetary damages to compensate them for their injuries. A message left for Kathleen Knuckey, executive director of the Silverdale Chamber of Commerce, has not been returned. Participants of the run signed a waiver, being warned of and assuming risks involved in the course. However, Davis’ attorney, James McCormick of the Tacoma-based law firm Messina Bulzomi Christensen, said the waiver will be “inapplicable or unenforceable in this case.” McCormick said he believes the court will apply the standard of gross negligence because of the seriousness of the injuries, and allow the lawsuit to See SUIT, A3
Chicken lays two eggs in one By WES MORROW wmorrow@soundpublishing.com
A Kitsap County woman got much more than she anticipated when she went to gather the eggs from her chickens last week. Janet Greenlaw was following her morning routine, checking on the chickens, when she noticed what she thought was a potato resting among the other eggs. What she thought was a potato turned out to be an egg, twice the size of the others, but that was just the start. Large eggs aren’t unheard of from nesting fowl like domesticated chickens. Sometimes an extra layer of shell coating might be applied, causing the egg to appear bigger. Sometimes eggs come out with multiple yolks in one shell. That’s what Greenlaw anticipated when she saw the abnormally large egg that morning. “I thought it would have two yolks, maybe even three yolks,” Greenlaw said. She said she was excited, as their chickens had never produced an egg with three yolks before.
Yet even that fell short of the actual outcome. When Greenlaw eventually cracked open the egg, there was only one yolk; however, sitting right next to the yolk, nested like a matryoshka doll, was another fully formed egg. Greenlaw cracked the inside egg open and found a yolk inside there as well. So the egg did, in fact, have two yolks, the second yolk just happened to be resting inside a whole other egg. Greenlaw posted a picture of the egg on Facebook and called her grandparents, who had been raising chickens for 80 years. They’d never heard of anything like it. By the time she got back to Facebook, a conversation had exploded around the surprising little egg. Tony Williams, professor of ornithology at Simon Fraser University, is an expert on avian reproduction. Williams said he had never heard of anything like this happening before. “That’s almost impossible to see how that’s happened,” Williams said. See EGGS, A2

Lawmakers talk about upcoming legislative session By KEVAN MOORE kmoore@soundpublishing.com
The Port Orchard, Bremerton and Silverdale chambers of commerce held a legislative summit Tuesday night at the Baymont Inn in Bremerton in which area lawmakers were able to talk about the upcoming session in Olympia. State representatives Jan Angel, a Port Orchard Republican, Kathy Haigh, a Shelton Democrat, Drew McEwan, a Shelton Republican, Drew Hansen, a Bainbridge Island Democrat, and Larry Seaquist, a Gig Harbor Democrat were all in attendance. Representative Sherry Appleton, a Poulsbo Democrat, was unable to
make the event due to a scheduling conflict. Also on hand Tuesday night were state senators Christine Rolfes, a Bainbridge Island Democrat, and Tim Sheldon, a Democrat from Potlatch. The legislators did not field questions Tuesday, but instead spoke individually about the upcoming session. Unsurprisingly, the lawmakers, who spoke in alphabetical order, ended up running over the scheduled amount of speaking time. Here is a quick look at some of the highlights from the event: Angel spoke to the assembled business crowd about the importance of job creation and retention. See SESSION, A3

EGGS CONTINUED FROM A1
Because the yolking process is separate from the shelling process, Williams said this sort of thing would be highly improbable. The only solution Williams could think of, involved the egg being shelled and then staying in the shell gland instead of being released, then when the other yolk comes down, a new shell is produced around both the new yolk and the fully formed egg. In 2009, an estimated 62.1 million metric tons of eggs were produced worldwide by some 6.4 billion hens. With that many hens laying that many eggs, phenomena like double, and triple yolked eggs aren’t unheard of, but at least for now, the egg within an egg is a phenomenon rare enough to surprise even experts.

“You are the way we get out of the hole we’re in,” she told the crowd in reference to the struggling economy. Angel also touched on the Affordable Care Act, noting that the state’s health care exchange cost about $100 million to create and will cost about $50 million a year to operate. Angel will serve this session as the ranking member of the Community Development, Housing & Tribal Affairs Committee. In addition, she will serve on the Health Care and Wellness and Transportation committees.

proceed. Gross negligence means “absence of slight care.” Davis said in her resignation as deputy chief in November she was “unable to perform all the duties of a regular police officer” because of an off-duty injury. Davis’ agreement with the city states she will work as a sergeant for another four months. Davis said Tuesday she filed the suit because she “didn’t see that there was any other option” to be compensated for her injuries. Davis is not sure what she’ll do once she leaves the Poulsbo Police Department, but a career in law enforcement isn’t likely in her future, she said. “As far as chasing people, at some point I have to decide, ‘Can I physically do this job anymore,’” Davis said. Davis started her law enforcement career in
School in the Southworth Auditorium. The event will include a panel discussion moderated by a member of the chamber and a member of the council. The panel will include representatives of at least three recently incorporated cities — Kenmore, Covington and Maple Valley. The moderators will pose questions to panel members for about the first hour and a half. After the moderated discussion, the forum will take questions from the public.

crazy legislative work.” She also said that in light of the supreme court’s ruling that the legislature must fund basic education to the tune of $1 billion per year, members of the house and senate will need to work together. “We can talk, but the Senate needs to be listening,” she said. Hansen, who will serve on the finance, higher education and judiciary committees, also spoke about funding basic education and a $900 million shortfall in the state’s operating budget. “It’s very difficult to solve both (of those problems) without raising taxes,” he said. In addition, Hansen talked about the state’s job crisis. “We’re not creating jobs quickly enough and we’re not training people for jobs,” he said. “We have a lot of employers here who can’t find people locally who are trained.” McEwan, who is new to the legislature and will serve as an assistant minority whip, said that on the
eve of the upcoming session, he and other legislators are experiencing several “kumbaya” moments. His committee assignment will include Agriculture and Natural Resources, Business and Finance, Capital Budget and Early Childhood Learning. At the end of his remarks, McEwan said he would not support a transportation budget that doesn’t include funding for local projects. Rolfes said that she will spend her time in the upcoming session focused on veteran and military affairs, education funding and Puget Sound cleanup. She noted that she is the only legislator whose district solely includes Kitsap County and said it was a privilege to work in the legislature to help change peoples’ lives for the better. Rolfes will serve as vice chair of both the Environment and Early Learning & K-12 Education committees. Other committee assignments include
1992 as a reserve officer with the Bremerton Police Department. In September 1995, she was hired as a full-time commissioned officer. Upon completion of the Washington State Basic Law Enforcement Academy, she was named Best Overall Recruit in her class. In 2002, she was promoted to sergeant by then-Chief Robert Forbes. During her career with Bremerton, she worked as a bike and boat patrol officer, school resource officer, field training officer, Taser instructor, defensive tactics instructor, crime prevention detective, traffic sergeant, and
K-9 unit supervisor. Davis received an associate’s degree from Olympic College in 1994, a bachelor of science in criminal justice administration from the University of Phoenix in 2009, and in August 2011 completed a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Phoenix. She and her husband, Bremerton Police Sgt. Mark Thompson, live on a farm in Seabeck. They have three children and three grandchildren.

His other committee assignments include Appropriations, the Appropriations Sub committee on Education and Education. Speaking last, Sheldon talked about his role in forming the Majority Coalition Caucus, an arrangement that effectively gives control of the
senate to Republicans. Along with Sen. Rodney Tom, a Medina Democrat, he said he will work with 23 Republicans to better state government. “It’s new and interesting,” he said. “Will it hold together?

In addition, he is set to chair the Rules Committee, which in his 22 years in the legislature he has never even been allowed to serve on.

A look ahead for District 4
I
am a longtime resident of Bremerton City Council District 4. Roy Runyon has been my representative council member for a significant number of those years. On Jan. 2 Runyon announced his resignation which would take effect on Jan.
31. As a longtime resident of what is Everything now District 4 and will soon become District 5, I have been very happy over Bremerton the years with the representation and assistance that Roy has provided to me personally and to my area of the city. In addition to being a constituent of Roy’s, I have also become a personal friend. I fully understand why he needs to step down and many of us will miss having him reside in our little section of the “hood.” Roy is very committed to the city of Bremerton Colleen Smidt and has invested himself in its critical issues facing our collective ability to move forward as a city. Knowing Roy, simply stepping down from this position for these particular reasons will in no way impede or slow down his involvement and commitment to those issues and any new ones that arise. His participation will simply continue via a different road or direction. Roy always likes to remind me, and others, that when he first ran for city council, it was a three-person race and I supported him third out of those three people. Over the years as Roy and I have worked together on issues he has proven to me that he earned that number one position and he will continue to have my support in his efforts towards improving the City of Bremerton no matter what form that effort takes. In the coming weeks the process of vetting and selecting a replacement council member for District 4 will play out on the public stage. As a resident of this district, I am excited to see who the applicants will be and how the individual who is selected will affect the council dynamics through the end of the year. Since all council member terms expire this year, the opportunity for a complete change or very little change is entirely possible. It really comes down to all of you who are Bremerton residents and voters. Of any year to start paying closer attention to what is going on within your city and who the existing and potential leadership is, this is the one where you are the most desired and needed.

Eventually a new party arose called the Whigs that represented commercial interests. Andrew Jackson became president in 1829, running as a Democrat (dropping the Republican part). He favored a strong executive over the power of Congress. Using what we would consider modern campaign techniques, appealing to emotions rather than reason, he gained the support of the “common people.” Conservatives, shocked and angered by Jackson’s autocratic and power-grabbing tendencies, called him “King Mob.” Jackson used the threat of veto to drastically wrench power from Congress to put it in his own hands. Jackson was the first president to create what has been called the “spoils system.” To the victors belonged the spoils of winning and rewarding friends and supporters with government jobs. The Republican Party did not come into existence until the sectional conflict between North and South over slavery caused the end of the Whigs. Abraham Lincoln was one of its founders in 1854.

Gardening tips for the new year As we slip into a new year and reflect on last year it is time to make some New Year’s resolutions for your garden.
Recently, the Clear Creek Task Force received an email complaining about the lack of access to public restroom facilities along the trail during the winter months. He had known that the

South seceded and the Civil War began. Lincoln would eventually free the slaves in the South with the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and then push for ending slavery with the 13th Amendment passed by Congress in 1865. As a result of his actions, former slaves voted Republican as a bloc until Democrat
Being a member gave me many benefits. One is the networking with other professionals and two, being tied with planet with the landscape certification program. Being certified in turf and ornamental maintenance gives me great knowledge in helping others. I encourage other professionals to get certified. Another great certification that I have is my
pesticide license. Even though I am totally organic by law you still need a license to apply organics. Getting caught without one can bring a fine up to $7,500 dollars. The recertification classes that you take each year will keep you on top of the laws and new ways to deal with pests and diseases through the IPM (Integrated Pest Management).

restroom by the Dog Park and the one at Old Mill Park were locked in the winter months. But what really irked Bob was the locked door on the Clear Creek Trail restroom at the Clear Creek Sa’qad Interpretive Center. “This leaves ZERO bathrooms on the entire trail. This is unsatisfactory,” he said. The Clear Creek Trail is
a 501(c)3 nonprofit operation built and maintained by a bunch of dedicated volunteers and with funding from donations from our fans and grants. The Clear Creek Trail is not always on property the trail owns. For those situations, we have easements or licenses with property owners to build trail on their property. For county property, we have a Joint Use Agreement to build, maintain and steward trail along Clear Creek. The entire trail network north of Waaga Way to Trigger Avenue is on county property. The restrooms at the Dog
Park and Old Mill Park on Bucklin Hill Road are county owned and maintained by county parks. It is their decision to lock them during the winter. In fact, the Clear Creek Task Force was denied access to this public restroom during our Salmon in the Classroom program at the end of March. This program has grown in 25 years with almost 700 kids from elementary schools around Central Kitsap for ten days. The Clear Creek Task Force rents a Porta Potty for the field trips. Last Thursday, some delinquent made a mess
of the Clear Creek restroom. With our full time maintenance boss retiring for health reasons and our backup guy on vacation for a month, the Task Force made the decision to close the restroom. Because having no volunteers to fill in, it cannot be maintained. It will reopen the first part of February. Kitsap County public restrooms winter closing is solved by making it known to your local government that locking them during the winter is unacceptable. However, if the parks department does open up year round, it will cost
money. And my understanding of the situation is they are not looking to add more expenses to their budget at this time or anytime in the foreseeable future. And then there is the looming vote on incorporation. If Silverdale becomes an official city, both of those county parks could eventually become city parks. That may change the level of service for the better.
Franklin D. Roosevelt became President during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The Republican Party came to represent wealthy business and industrial interests with the exception of President Teddy Roosevelt and to a lesser extent President Taft. Republicans dominated the government with a few exceptions from 1865 until 1933. The Democrats by the end of the century
came to represent the poor and oppressed, immigrants and minorities who joined unions. White Southern Democrats abandoned their party to become Republicans after the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts of 1964 and 1965. They’ve remained there since. Republican President Ronald Reagan attracted a lot of Democrats who were angry and upset over what they saw as a declining
morality. He cut taxes by 25 percent and promoted less government regulation. He became and still is the hero of the Right. In the 1990s, Democratic President Bill Clinton successfully favored the middle class over the poor, because statistically poor people don’t vote. His approach was called the “Third Way.” George W. Bush added the Religious Right to the Republican base to win two terms in the 2000s.
President Obama won his elections by basically rallying the traditional Democratic base of the young, women, minorities, working class and educated professionals. Obama successfully followed Bill Clinton’s example of appealing to the middle class, framing the Republicans as old white guys out of touch with the real world demographics of the second decade of the 21st century.
As you can see, political parties have changed with the times and the issues. Both parties divide the nation during elections just as George Washington warned us in 1796. It’s to their advantage to do so. Fortunately, this republic has had years of political conflict to harden itself to these divisions. The divisions we are experiencing now are nothing compared to our past. We may fight and argue, but the union is secure.

Bremerton girls win, boys fall to Sequim By Dennis Box dbox@soundpublishing.com
The Bremerton Knights girls’ basketball team hosted Sequim Tuesday winning the contest 50-32. The girls played a strong half-court game from the opening whistle with Sawyer Kluge running the point and Eboni Harpes dominating in the paint. Terra Driskell scored several times off the break as did Alyssa Beach. Next up the Knights travel to Klahowya for a 7 p.m. game tonight (Friday).

Licensing office customer wait times lowest in eight years Driver licensing offices across the state are experiencing some of the lowest customer wait times in eight years due to service innovations including expanded online and mail-in options and allowing qualifying driver training schools to conduct driver testing.

Rep. Kilmer opens new office Rep. Derek Kilmer announced the opening of his first district office located in the Norm Dicks Government Center in Bremerton. The district office will deal primarily with casework and community outreach. Residents of the 6th District who have comments, questions,
or need assistance with a federal department or agency are encouraged to contact the office. Kilmer will host an open house at the district office from 3-5 p.m. Jan. 17. “I’m pleased to announce the opening of our office in Bremerton,” Kilmer said. “My goal is
ensuring that my staff and I are as accessible as possible to folks throughout the region. With this office and the others to come, I look forward to collaborating directly with constituents on solving the issues facing our region, and making sure government works for them.”
Social Security announces an expansion of online services Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security, today announced the agency is expanding the services available with a my Social Security account, a personalized online account that people can use beginning in their working years and continuing throughout the time they receive Social Security benefits. More than 60 million Social Security beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients can now access their benefit verification letter, payment history and earnings record instantly using their online account. Social Security beneficiaries also can change their address and start or change direct deposit information online. “We are making it even easier for people to do their business with us from the comfort of their home, office, or library,” Astrue said. “I encourage people of all ages to take advantage of our award-winning online services and check out the new features available through an online my Social Security account.” Social Security beneficiaries and SSI recipients with a my Social Security account can go online and get an official benefit verification letter instantly. The benefit verification letter serves as proof of income to secure loans, mortgages and other housing, and state or local benefits. Additionally, people use the letter to prove current Medicare health insurance coverage, retirement or disability status, and age. People can print or save a customized letter. Social Security processed nearly nine million requests for benefit verification letters in the past year. This new online service
allows people to conduct business with Social Security without having to visit an office or make a phone call, and very often wait for a letter to arrive in the mail. It also will reduce the time spent by employees completing these requests and free them to focus on other workloads. People age 18 and older can sign up for an account at www.socialsecurity.gov/ myaccount<http://www.socialsecurity.gov/ myaccount>. Once there, they must be able to provide information about themselves and answers to questions that only they are likely to know. After completing the secure verification process, people can create a my Social Security account with a unique user name and password to access their information. People age 18 and older who are not receiving benefits can sign up for a my Social Security account to get a personalized online Social Security Statement. The online Statement provides eligible workers with secure and convenient access to their Social Security earnings and benefit information, and estimates of future benefits they can use to plan for their retirement. In addition, the portal also includes links to information about other online services, such as applications for retirement, disability and Medicare. “Given our significantly reduced funding, we have to find innovative ways to continue to meet the needs of the American people without compromising service,” said Astrue. “These new enhancements will allow us to provide faster service to more people in more places.”
Page A7
Over the past several years, DOL has expanded online offerings to citizens, reducing or eliminating the need for them to come to a driver licensing office. In 2012, nearly one-quarter of the agency’s 3.4 million driver transactions were done by people who didn’t step foot inside an office—by mail or Internet. In five years, that percentage has grown from 5 percent to 23 percent. “Gov. Gregoire has pushed all agencies to maximize efficiency and continue to serve Washingtonians in new and innovative ways, so we constantly look at both big and little changes we can make to save money and to make things more convenient for our customers,” Haight said.

a false sense of security, because we’ve been able to fund our deficit spending by borrowing, and more borrowing. Granted, there was a time when our national debt was manageable, and we could have implemented strategies to get us back on track, but today, with a national debt of $16.5 trillion, and growing at almost $4.8 billion per day, we’ve shackled our children and grandchildren with a burden that is obscene and unconscionable. However, the implications of this fiscal crisis have profound and imminent implications for us as seniors as well. In order to achieve any chance for a course correction and set us on a path to resolve this dilemma, there must be adjustments to a number of entitlement programs (Social Security, Medicare, etc.) that
New Year’s resolutions are a popular annual tradition in spite of their notoriously high failing rates. According to surveys almost half of Americans will again vow to change something or other in their lives this month. Losing weight usually ranks at the top of the list, followed by getting better organized, saving money, taking more time off, improving physical fitness, and quitting or reducing alcohol and tobac-
co use. The percentage of people who say they regularly achieve all of their goals is a measly eight percent. Almost half report partial success, while a quarter admits to complete failure year after year. Making resolutions has a great deal to do with the belief that we can reinvent ourselves at our choosing, according to Ray Williams, author of “Breaking Bad Habits.” It can also be a form of procrastination. It’s a way to motivate ourselves to

directly impact seniors. Just a week ago, as I was in the operating chair to have a cataract removed, and a new lens implanted, I engaged in conversation with my ophthalmologist about the health care crisis, and whether the kind of procedure I was having would be covered in the future by Medicare. Since the amount of reimbursement from Medicare to physicians for all types of medical treatments is steadily decreasing, doctors and hospitals are facing their own financial challenges. With talk of increasing the retirement age before a person is eligible to receive Social Security benefits, or not being able to provide basic Cost of Living adjustments for current recipients, seniors have much to be concerned about. Imagine what would happen if
make long overdue changes, if not right away, then at least in the near future. However, if resolutions are too unrealistic and insufficiently aligned with our actual circumstances, they are doomed from the start. “When you make positive affirmations about yourself that you don’t really believe, the positive affirmations not only don’t work, they can be damaging to your selfesteem,” he writes. “You may think that if you lose weight, or reduce your debts, or exercise more, your entire life will change, and when it doesn’t, you may get discouraged and then you revert to old behaviors.” There may be a multitude of good reasons why we don’t follow through with our good intentions but in the end, it all comes down to energy, or lack thereof, said Dr. Carolyn Anderson, “All resolutions require extra energy, and if your day-to-day life already leaves you exhausted, you’ll never get around to fulfilling your plans,” Anderson said.
we began to experience even a modest inflation rate in the cost of services and goods, especially for those on “fixed” incomes, who are relying on Social Security and Medicare for their future. The prospect is enough to send many of our seniors “over the edge”. But enough of this doom and gloom. We can do something. And if there was ever a time for seniors to be heard, it’s now. We must hold our elected representatives responsible to make the tough choices to bring spending under control and to be more concerned about the future of our country than getting re-elected. It may mean that we will have to make sacrifices ourselves in our affluent living style, but my children and grandchildren are worth that sacrifice. We can do better. No, we must do better.
Lack of sufficient energy to make lifestyle changes often gets confused with lack of time, which is one of the most common excuses. Energy comes from discipline, she said, discipline to follow proven strategies like eating right, exercising and getting enough sleep. These are the necessary foundations other improvements can be built upon. Another potential cause for failure is the size and scope of the goals we set for ourselves. The bar may be impossibly high, the target too far away. It may also be a matter of lacking confidence. “[The] problem isn’t that we shouldn’t think big, but that we consider ourselves too small of a player in the quest for our own goals,” said Kristi Hedges an executive coach and author of “The Power of Presence.” “We set all-or-nothing New Year’s resolutions that we can’t possibly keep, and frankly don’t expect ourselves to.” Many resolutions, she says, are not only unrealistic but

also too general and vague to be turned into concrete steps. Failure then becomes an almost inevitable consequence, allowing us to return to our familiar excuses. So, before you make another resolution, consider first how you will pursue your goals differently from last time when you failed, said Chrissy Scivicque, a lifestyle and career coach. Perhaps you didn’t plan ahead carefully enough. Or you didn’t plan for setbacks and were ill equipped to deal with them when they occurred. You may have lost motivation along the way or forgot why you went on a particular journey to begin with. Maybe you didn’t get enough support to keep you going. Or you are prone to sabotaging yourself as you approach success.

looked like I had been in a fight. But the kids wanted to go to the museum, and it was the last day of our vacation. There was no time to take me to the hospital for stitches. At the museum, I chased Lindell through displays while Dustin and the older boys read every plaque with information and tried the hands-on experiments. I balanced all the kids’ lunches on a single plastic tray in the cafeteria while Dustin waited for something from the grill. My nose was hot and tender. My head ached. I rode the pretend space shuttle with Lindell. I built a robot claw with Owen. I listened to Ford explain the laws of probability. And at the end of our day, I wander off from Dustin and the boys to look at books in the gift shop. I rubbed my forehead as I read, and I longed to lie flat so the blood would move away from the knot on the bridge of my nose. That’s when Dustin found me. “Where have you been?” he said. “You just ditched me with the kids, and they’re all going crazy, and I didn’t know what to do or where you had gone....” I looked up at Dustin and smiled, even though my nose hurt as it wrinkled. What I wanted to say was, “Welcome to my battlefield, honey.” What I said instead was, “I’m here now. What do you need?”

fashioned sickness, he needs me to hold his hand. A few days after “the headache,” and before we left our hotel to go to the Boston Museum of Science, Dustin told me, “Wear something comfortable so you’ll be in a good mood today.” Thirty minutes later, as I hoisted my suitcase into the back of our van, Dustin pushed the button to automatically close the door. The van door came down on the small part of my nose, just between my eyes. I heard the bones crunch. I could feel the bloody wetness. Dustin leaped out of the driver’s seat and ran to me. “Oh my gosh, I didn’t see you there,” he said. “Honestly!” Blood trickled down my nose. “Do we need to take you to the hospital?” he asked. “Should I get your some ice? Do you think you need stitches? Do we have any hydrogen peroxide?” He was pacing around me in the parking lot. “Get me a tissue from the glove compartment,” I said. “And let’s get to the museum before the kids want lunch.” I held the tissue on my nose as we drove. My heart beat between my eyes as my right eye lid began to swell. I felt like I had a giant clown nose on my face, only just below my forehead, not on my nose. Every time I bent over, I felt it throb. I

Seattle Weekly purchased by Sound Publishing Sound Publishing, the state’s largest community news organization, today purchased the Seattle Weekly. Details of the purchase were not disclosed.

Tax season has arrived After settling down following the busy holiday season, another season will soon be here — tax season. As a small business owner, it is important to understand how taxes will affect your business, how to file properly, avoid audits and claim the right tax deductions. Here are 5 tips to ease the burden of tax preparation and help in preparation for the April 15 deadline.
1. Keep good records and understand available deductions Proper record-keeping yearround is the first step to ensure taxes are filed accurately. Save essential paperwork that could be needed to back-up deduction claims, should there be an audit. Keep it in mind that tax credits and deductions change each year. 2.

We appreciate the editorial focus on local news, culture and the arts. This publication has been a leader in shaping Seattle for many decades and we look forward to managing this The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, signed into law by President Obama, has over 17 tax provisions to decrease tax burdens for small businesses—several of these provisions can be taken advantage of during this year’s tax season. Utilizing these provisions could provide great savings for your business. 3. Remember the tax credits within the Affordable Care Act These tax credits will allow small businesses to cover up to 35 percent of the health care premiums a small business pays to cover its workers. In 2014, the tax credit will increase to 50 percent.

Avoid common audit traps It is very important to be aware of potential red flags which could include: • Classifying employees as independent contractors – independent contractors and employees are not the same and it is important to understand the difference. In the eyes of the IRS, misclassification can be seen as an attempt to avoid payroll taxes; non-compliance can bring penalties and back taxes. • Home office deduction – this deduction is very specific and not all home- based businesses quali-

Dropped gun at Kitsap Mall fires into furniture By WES MORROW wmorrow@soundpublishing.com
A gun discharged in the middle of the World Market store at the Kitsap Mall Saturday after falling from the pocket of its owner. No one was injured, but the bullet struck the leg of a nearby day bed before burying itself in the second layer of a stacked rope basket. There were around 35 people in the store at the time of the event, according to witnesses. When nearby shoppers asked the suspect what happened, he reportedly responded that a balloon had popped. Kitsap Sheriff ’s deputies responded to the scene around 1:50 p.m., finding the suspect in the nearby Barnes and Noble talking with mall security. The suspect, a 58-yearold Poulsbo man, cooperated with authorities and
allowed them to remove the gun, a two-shot .38 caliber derringer, from his jacket pocket. The man reportedly possessed a license to carry the weapon and had no prior record of offenses. The man had a holster for the weapon, but said he took it off and put it in his pocket along with the gun while in the mall. When he bent over to pick something up, the gun fell from his pocket, striking the floor and firing on impact. One of the responding officers said the gun had no trigger guard and the safety was disengaged. The gun was confiscated by the officers as evidence and a report was forwarded to the Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Office for review of possible reckless endangerment charges.

‘Because every child deserves to have a bed’ Company program, employee contributions help meet local needs By Leslie Kelly Kitsap Week SILVERDALE — Sometimes Santa doesn’t come on Christmas. And sometimes he doesn’t wear red. Just ask Central Kitsap teenager Ashley Nesper, who was surprised on New Year’s Day by a group of employees from Ashley Furniture HomeStore. Dressed in winter coats, they arrived at her door with gifts in hand and on a truck. It’s all a part of the company’s Hope to Dream program. Participating stores donate $5 from every mattress sold and use that money to provide beds to those in need. There is a formal application process and a committee that reads through the applica-
Ashley Furniture HomeStore employees delivered a company- and employee-donated bedroom set to Ashley Nesper of Silverdale, Jan. 1. From left, Keola Choy, porter; Becca Lujan, customer relations manager; Ashley Nesper; Michael Nesper; and Albert Thompkins, sales manager. Contributed photo tions and selects the individuals who will receive beds for free.
In the most recent donation, the Ashley Furniture HomeStore in Silverdale
learned of the young girl who didn’t have a bed. “She and her father had just moved to this area from North Carolina,” said Albert Thompkins, sales manager at the store. “They moved for her father’s job and right after they got settled, the young girl broke her leg. When her dad (Michael Nesper) had to take off work to care for her, he was laid off.” Her father had planned to furnish the house after they arrived and saved some money, but when that didn’t happen, an acquaintance of their’s applied to the Hope to Dream program at the Silverdale store. “What caught our eye was that the application said the girl said “All I want for Christmas is a bed,’ ” Thompkins said. “It just pulled at our heartstrings. Kids should be thinking about getting toys at Christmas, not beds.” So the store employees got busy creating a beauti-
ful new bedroom for the 14-year-old girl, who was sleeping in a recliner chair, trying to get comfortable with her leg in a cast. The store employees had the bed and mattress from the store and then began a donation campaign among themselves to buy other items. In the end, they had sheets, a green comforter, an alarm clock, bedside table lamps and decorations for the bedroom walls. They also added gift cards for the family. “These were more the wants, not the needs,” Thompkins said. “But still. they were all the things a little girl would like for her bedroom.” Thompkins, and coworkers Becca Lujan and Keola Choy chose New Year’s Day for the delivery because not all the items were available before Christmas. It all came as a big surprise. “It was just an amazing day,” Lujan said. “[Ashley] was very surprised and
she loved everything.” Lujan also learned that Michael Nesper had told his daughter Ashley that Santa just couldn’t make it to their house this year. So that made the late gifts even more special. And, even though it wasn’t planned, the items were green and pink — which just happened to be Ashley’s favorite colors. “She just lit up,” Thompkins said. “It was something to see. That’s why we do this, because every child deserves to have their own bed and get a good night’s sleep.” The Hope to Dream program has been in place at the store since 2010. The goal is to provide a mattress to a selected applicant once each quarter. Applications are available at the store at 9577 Ridgetop Blvd. NW. “We’d like to do it more often and we’re working on ways to expand this program,” Lujan said.
