Superintendent announces plan to leave Central Kitsap
HORSES HEAL HEARTS
By WES MORROW wmorrow@soundpublishing.com
In an email to staff and teachers last week, Central Kitsap Superintendent Greg Lynch announced he would resign his post in July to become the new Superintendent of Olympic Educational Service District 114. The resignation is pending approval by the school board to release Lynch from his contract. His contract with the school district runs through the 201415 school year. The Central Kitsap board’s next meeting is scheduled for April 10, during which Lynch said an agenda item will be set to discuss both the details of his release and the process of finding a replacement. Requests for comment to the service dis-

trict were not returned. It is expected to offer an official contract to Lynch at its next meeting April 18. Lynch has been with Central Kitsap for nearly a decade. He was hired by the school district in 2004. Prior to that, Lynch was a United States Army Colonel stationed at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where he was dean of academics for See LYNCH, A13
Closure: coming to a school near you By WES MORROW wmorrow@soundpublishing.com
Coming changes within the Central Kitsap School District will result in the closure of at least one school, district officials say. Exactly how many and which ones will depend on the decisions made in the coming months by the administration and school board. “No matter what,” said Finance Director David McVicker, “school closure of some kind is in our future.” The district will host three public forums in the
next two weeks to discuss the issue of school configuration. Members of the public are urged to attend the meetings to learn about the configuration process and its consequences. The configuration discussion revolves around which grades attend which schools — for example, whether ninth-graders attend junior highs or high schools. However, McVicker said there is much more to the process that just moving students. “This has the potential See CLOSURE, A13

Commissioners want public comment on tax By Leslie Kelly lkelly@soundpublishing.com
K it sap C ou nt y Commissioners aren’t ready yet to support a .01 percent sales tax increase to fund more mental health services in the county. But they aren’t walking away from the idea. At a meeting last week, commissioners decided that they want to hear more from the public before they make a decision. “In the next several months we want to do some outreach with community groups so that the public is more aware of what this tax is all about,” said Josh
Brown, who represents the Central Kitsap area. Commissioners will ask the League of Women Voters to host three open houses in August for people to get more information about the proposed sales tax increase. “Making sure that the public has all the information about this before any action takes place is very important to me,” said Commissioner Rob Gelder, District 1 commissioner. Following the outreach, the commission plans to host two public hearings in September, one in Port Orchard and one in North Kitsap, prior to the board
Josh Brown
voting on the issue in October. The option for the sales tax increase, which doesn’t require a public vote, was passed last year by the State
Legislature. Most counties that have enacted the tax have done so without a public vote. Commissioners have already said they don’t want to pay $100,000 to hold a special election on the tax increase. But Brown said they will decide after the public hearings whether commissioners will vote on the tax or whether to put it to a public vote. “All the counties in the Central Puget Sound area have acted on this without a public vote and certainly we don’t want to spend money on a special election if we See TAX, A13

Governor signs ‘Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans’ bill Measure designates March 30 each year to honor Vietnam veterans Amid a conference room in the state Capitol filled with reporters, photographers, legislators and Vietnam veterans, Gov. Jay Inslee last week signed a bill introduced by Rep. Norm Johnson that designates March 30 as “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day” in Washington state. Johnson, R-Yakima, said more than 1,100 service men and women from Washington died in the Vietnam War, including his cousin from Zillah. He noted that those who survived and returned home were not treated kindly. “They were called war mongers and baby killers, and were spat upon and scorned. This was possibly the cruelest aspect of
the Vietnam War,” said Johnson. House Bill 1319 does not create a legal holiday, but an annual day of recognition for Washington’s Vietnam veterans, in which all public entities in Washington would be required to f ly the National League of Families POW/MIA (prisoner of war/missing in action) flag on March 30. The measure passed both the House and the Senate unanimously. “All of those veterans are people that we’ve had in our hearts and minds for decades, and now Washington state is officially proclaiming a day of celebration to welcome them home officially,” said Inslee. “It is a day that we hope peo-
ple will take a moment to think of these men and women who served and didn’t get the warmest welcome in the years that they came back. But now we want to double the warmth of welcoming them and thinking of their contribution to American democracy and freedom across the world.” Johnson said the measure was suggested to him by the Yakama Warriors Association, which is a group of 190 members who make sure veterans are not forgotten. The association’s representative, Gil Calac of White Swan, is a Vietnam veteran who returned home from the war 43 years ago. “When I came home, it was just emptiness,” said Calac. “This day of recognition is important for all Vietnam veterans
Senate Resolution 8643, both of which recognize and honor the service of Vietnam veterans. A ceremony was held after the signings at the Washington State Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the Capitol campus, in which hundreds of veterans gathered and were told, “Welcome home!”

The measure, sponsored by Johnson at the request of Calac, designates March 30 as “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day.” for closure. It was important for them to come home and have someone recognize them. This will help the healing when we all get together and we know that the state of Washington rec-
ognized us as Vietnam veterans and gave us a chance to pull together as one.” Following the bill signing, the House approved House Resolution 4643 and the Senate adopted
Johnson said the day of recognition and the resolutions are a small way to give back to those who answered the call of service for their country, but were never given a hero’s welcome for their sacrifice. “We can never totally heal the scars that were left when those boys and girls came home,” said Johnson. “It’s long overdue that we say, ‘Thank you for your service, welcome home and God bless you!’”

Housing needs are very real in Kitsap County
IN OUR OPINION
It shouldn’t surprise anyone that there is a shortage of housing for low income individuals and families in Bremerton and the Central Kitsap area. It’s a sad refection of the state of our economy. As recently as last month, housing authorities in Bremerton and Kitsap County reported that there are more than 600 families and individuals who are receiving Section 8 vouchers to help them afford a place to live. In addition, there are more than 1,800 people living in public housing that is provided to them based on their needs. The vouchers are given out to the low-income people who qualify and can be used to off-set the full cost of rent. It needs to be understood that when these individuals can’t pay the full price of their rent, it is the taxpayers who are helping foot the bill. Housing officials also report that there are five times as many people who have Section 8 vouchers that would qualify and need them, were there more to give out. That clearly signals that for a variety of reasons, be it low wage jobs, physical disabilities, or possibly mental illness, our county has people who are desperately in need of a place to call home. If there’s anything that can be done in the long run about the shortage, it’s better equipped schools and better education funding. There’s a direct correlation between students graduating with skills to earn a living and their ability to get and keep a job. And without that job, there’s no money to pay rent. There are those among us who subscribe to the belief that individuals should be responsible for themselves — that safe and adequate housing is not something that is promised to anyone. But without friends and family, and with the right set of circumstances, just about any one of us could find ourselves homeless. All it takes is reading some of the stories of the individuals who have been helped through the housing authorities to learn that. In a perfect world, we could each take care of ourselves and never need a helping hand up. But we’re not there yet. Taxpayers should bear the responsibility of helping to provide low-income housing for those who truly are in need. And elected officials should be looking for creative ways to fund more lowincome housing. It’s our responsibility as citizens and neighbors.

Important details about the plan will be forthcoming as this issue works its way through the council discussion and decision making process which will include public comment opportunities. I suspect that there will be some push back from the banking and investment community as compliance will affect their financial bottom line. However, the residents of this community have reached the bottom line of their tolerance for apathetic, marginal responses from so called financial community partners when it comes to well known, problem blighted properties in their neighborhood and community. Time to step up the commitment and be a part of the solution.

Aging and mental health: strategies for staying well and staying active We know that older adults are among the fastest growing demographic in Kitsap County. What is not always known is that older adults commonly experience symptoms of depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses and that there is help and practical strategies to effectively treat symptoms and alleviate difficulties. Depression is not necessarily a fact of life as we age. It is a medical illness, not a personal weakness, a lack of faith, or a sign of failure. Common causes of depression are chronic pain, diabetes, hypothyroidism, stroke, anemia, dementia, cardiac conditions, sleep disorders and a host of other conditions. The loss of routine functions such as the ability to walk, to read, to bathe or feed oneself and the loss of relationships through death, divorce or retirement also contribute to

In addition, alcohol abuse, substance abuse, prescription abuse and marijuana abuse can compound symptoms of depression or any mental health concern. The stigma of marijuana use is lifting, and the freedom and unstructured time of retirement can insidiously lead people to drink more
and use other substances more than they might have had there been the constraints of child care, the workforce and family life. There are practical things that we can do to maintain our wellbeing. Exercising every day, sleeping an adequate amount at night, eating an appropriate amount of nutritious foods and making a point to spend time with our friends and family are important steps in establishing and maintaining good health. We often need help to make these efforts a habit. The first thing we can do for ourselves is to get established with a primary care provider or if you already have a primary care provider, to talk with them about your concerns. A family practitioner is among our best resources and may prevent an unnecessary trip
to the emergency department. The primary care provider is often the first person we turn to for help with our health and mental health concerns, and he or she may make a referral to a counselor or to a community mental health center for additional help and support. Second, the Area Agency on Aging is our “hub” or coordination center for services for elders and for persons who are disabled. Call them for information and referral resources at 360-337-5700. Another resource for emotional concerns is the Crisis Clinic of the Peninsula’s, reached 24/7 by calling 1-360-4793033 or 1-800-843-4793. One of the many positive things about living in Kitsap County is that the professionals in long term care are tightly connected to one another and work well together.
Given our rapidly growing population, the time for our communities and for ourselves to plan for our future is now. Kitsap Mental Health Services is the primary provider of mental health services for Kitsap County, offering a continuum of care to children, adults and older adults, and their families. For more information, contact Rochelle Doan, Director of Development and Community Relations for Kitsap Mental Health Services at 360-415-5871.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Another view on corporations In response to the letter to the editor by Joshua Keeler published March 29: Since corporations are not people do you also believe that they should not have a voice in how their taxes are used? It would seem to me that if a corporation’s money is being used they should have input on how much and how it is used. If the corporations don’t have a vote to cast for their representatives in a government that takes a good portion of their profits how are they to express their desire and needs for their corporation except by supporting financially those organizations that most closely align with their corporate views and needs?

upcoming golf tourney, “Fore the Animals,” at Trophy Lake Golf & Casting in Port Orchard on Friday, May 10 at 1 p.m., will not be just another golf tournament. What will make the difference? Dogs! KHS tournament participants are encouraged to bring their pooches to ride along in the golf cart or walk alongside. Of course, there will be special rules and regulations but golfers are encouraged to bring their dogs to honor the late Trophy Lake course dog, Ellie. “The ‘Fore the Animals’ tournament is a unique way for Kitsap Humane Society to increase its visibility throughout the county and generate additional funding needed for its overall operating expenses,” said Cary Bozeman, KHS Board member and chair of the event. “KHS has a critical need in
2013 to continue building sustaining funds to support programs such as adoption outreach, vet services and spay/neuter programs.” Registration is open now for foursomes or individual players. Deadline for registration is May 3. The cost is $110 per player or $400 per foursome – a $40 savings. An additional registration fee of $50 is required for each dog, and each foursome is limited to only one dog. This is KHS’ first golf tournament and is proud to honor Ellie, Trophy Lake’s course dog mascot who passed away earlier this year. Ellie spent every day on the course, whether she was laying in the sun next the putting green, riding on a golfer’s cart or sitting on “Ellie’s landing” greeting guests as they arrived. To register for the tournament, please visit kitsaphumane.org/golftournament. For more information on the event, please contact Rachel Bearbower, Special Events Coordinator, at 360-6926977 x1216.

Ferries won’t fall Senate says state ferries won’t face any budget cuts in 2013-2015.
Washington State Ferries won’t face any service cuts in the 2013-2015 transportation budget.
Members of the Senate made the announcement Tuesday, and Sen. Christine Rolfes of Bainbridge Island praised the preservation of ferry sailings systemwide. “Washington state has one of the safest and largest ferry systems in the country and I’m pleased to see the Legislature’s renewed com-

school boards are composed of five members, two of whom come up for re-election this year and three of whom come up for re-election in 2015. In the Bremerton School District, areas four and five are up for election. Area four is currently held by Dave Boynton and area five by Carolynn Perkins. Perkins said she plans to run for reelection in the fall. Boynton said at this point he is unsure if he will seek reelection. At the moment Boynton said he is sorting through his responsibilities and considering his options. “I’ll know more by the first of May,” he said. Areas one and five in Central Kitsap School District, currently held by Bruce Richards and Eric Greene, respectively, consumption efficiencies, and money to begin design and replacement of the aging Colman Terminal in Seattle. Senators will continue to work with managers, labor and community members to improve performance and find system-wide efficiencies. Rolfes said ferries are crucial to the local economy, and she thanked those who helped get that point across with state lawmakers.
“An affordable and predictable ferry system is critical to the economy of the West Sound region,” she said. “Bremerton Mayor Patty Lent and City Councilmembers Brockus, Daugs and Wheeler and dozens of Ferry Advisory Committee members worked tirelessly over the past six months to help persuade legislators from around the state of the critical role the ferries play in

The transportation budget also addresses tolls on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, I-5 corridor improvements and allocates money toward a new bridge on the Columbia River.

Oly softball beats N. Mason By WES MORROW wmorrow@soundpublishing.com
Both teams came out swinging in the first inning. North Mason (1-3) scored one in the first, and Olympic (4-2) scored two. North Mason couldn’t keep up, though, and
soon fell behind as the Trojans kept pushing. Olympic scored two in the third and continued to put pressure on North Mason, scoring in each following inning. The score was 5-1 going into the top of the fifth and with Olympic’s momentum things were
starting to look bad for the Bulldogs. But that all changed with a home run by North Mason pitcher Kimber Bolin. The Bulldogs brief ly tied the game 5-5. But Olympic scored two in the fifth and sixth, regaining their lead and heading into the final

inning up 7-5. Olympic head coach Dusty Anchors pulled starting pitcher Jaimie Barry in the seventh inning and sent in Christina Bigelow to finish the game. North Mason was able to put two runners on base. The runners advanced to second and third when one of Bigelow’s pitches went wild and the catcher wasn’t able to keep it in front. The Bulldogs sent in a pinch hitter for what could be the last at-bat of the game with two outs and two runners in scoring position. A long single could have been enough to bring in both runners and force Olympic to respond, but the pitching proved too much for the girls from North Mason as the Bulldog hitter struck out swinging when the umpire called her checkswing a strike.

Loan officer offers advice and a helping hand By Leslie Kelly lkelly@soundpublishing.com
Silverdale loan officer Shane McGraw has a motto for his work and his life. “Most things are caught, not taught,” said McGraw. “In other words, lead by example. Set a great example. Show people how you want to be treated by treating them the same way.” And that’s how he does business. As a home mortgage officer for more than seven years, McGraw has worked at a number of companies. Most recently, he’s worked at Prime Lending and is still affiliated with that company. But he has branched out on his own and has an office upstairs from their’s at 9330 Silverdale Way, Suite 202. While he still has Prime Lending’s resources available to him, he employs four others who create a team that can help home buyers with the needed financial information and loans as they purchase or refinance residential property. “The way we do business is as a team,” he said. “We have specialists who work with clients from the beginning of the process to the end

We know that the most important part of this is communication with our clients and as a team that’s our goal.” The level of customer service provided has to be on the mark, too. “What I’ve learned is that in this business you are working with people who are anxious about the fact that they are buying a home and spending more money than they probably ever have,” he
said. “They have to get the best customer service possible and that means doing what needs to be done, every time, on time.” McGraw’s road to being a loan officer wasn’t typical of most. He decided to give try it after working in the Bremerton shipyard. “My mom and my sister were in the business,” he said. “I had been learning the business on the side while I worked in the shipyard. Working in the shipyard provided a good
Port approves contract By Leslie Kelly lkelly@soundpublishing.com
A contract with the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance to assist the Port of Bremerton with recruitment of defense and aerospace contractors and manufacturing, transportation and services companies was approved last week by port commissioners. The $20,000 personal services contract will be paid in four quarterly payments and was funded as part of the port’s 2013 operating budget. KEDA will be tasked with several jobs. KEDA will contact at least 50 defense and aerospace contractors to determine 10 possible companies to look to locate offices in port properties. KEDA will arrange for those leads to meet with port officials. KEDA will also develop and implement a client strategy to recruit manufacturing, transportation and service companies that could benefit from access or use of the Port of Bremerton’s
airport industrial properties. KEDA will make at least 50 contacts with to establish 10 leads. KEDA will bring representatives of those companies to meet with port staff. KEDA will also generate marketing materials, will help with grants that could bring money to the port operations. The contract also specifies that KEDA will help the Port to retain current tenants. In addition, KEDA will help the port with putting together a master plan of the port’s real estate port folio. Commission President Larry Stokes said he supported the contract with KEDA, but noted it was for a smaller amount than in years past. “We’ve gone from about $35,000 in support to about $20,000 this year,” he said. Port CEO Tim Thomson said the drop was directed by the Port commission. “Actually, the services KEDA will be providing are very close to the scope in the previous contracts,” Thomson said. “They were
very supportive and value the Port’s continued generous contribution albeit at a lower rate.”
family income, but it wasn’t for me. So I decided to go at this full time.” Prior to the loan business, McGraw was in the U.S. Air Force for five years and was deployed to the Middle East. He was stationed at the largest supply hub in the area, in Qatar. “It has the longest runway in the world,” he said. McGraw was in the Air Force in Korea when 9-11 happened. He recalled being awakened at about 1 a.m. and being put on high alert. He didn’t get to sleep for four days and he was assigned to be a military security officer at the front gate to the base. “I was there with my M16 and with a massive gun on top of a Humvee next to me and worked 18 to 20 hour days for at least a week,” he said. “And what most people don’t know is that it’s cold in September in Korea.” McGraw said he joined the Air Force after high school on the advice of his grandfather. “I grew up without a dad,” he said. “My grandfather was the male role model for me and he said being in the mili-
tary would make me a better person, so I enlisted.” The military discipline has helped him in business, he said. “When you’re working with financial things, you have to get everything right,” he said. “Nothing can be left to chance.” McGraw actually offers a “financial boot camp” for clients, those in the military and others, in which they start with their household income and set a budget. By learning to spend within their means and save they can obtain the goals they want, he said. “The American Dream of owning a home is still intact,” he said. “I just ask them, what’s stopping them and why? Usually it’s fear. And by educating themselves about their finances, they can overcome their fears and gain the confidence they need to reach their goals.” It’s a lesson he’s had to learn the hard way by bringing himself out of debt and making sure he and his family have a solid financial future. He and his wife, Carly, have three children, Mason, 8, Madalyn, 5, and Merick, 2.
“Family is the most important thing of all,” he said. “As far as being a dad, it’s incredibly important. I have had to learn as I go because I didn’t have a dad. But it reveals to you the man you are.” And community is equally important. McGraw is the sponsor of the annual Party at the Silverdale Waterfront Park and Pier in Old Town each June. On the last day of school kids are invited to participate in games, music, dancing and events to earn money for charity. “It’s a way for the community to show the kids that we care about them,” he said. “It’s a day to love and honor them.” Plans are underway for this year’s event which is slated to be June 18. McGraw also helps with his son Mason’s baseball team and likes to go 4-wheeling with him. McGraw helps with activities at his church and he is active in veteran’s causes including the Blue Star Banners that hang in Silverdale. He can be reached at smcgraw@primelending. com.

Bremerton students take part in ‘Sign Off’ On top of these honors judges also awarded three students, one from each experience level, with a grand prize. Juliana Guyt beat all other ASL-one students to take home the grand prize, and Janelle David won the grand prize for ASLtwo students. “We floated home,” Susan Parker said. “The car didn’t drive — we flew home.” Parker is the ASL teacher at Bremerton. She also ended up acting as the Sign Off competition’s Emcee. Senior Janelle David said she was shocked she did so well. “I was just quite nervous,” David said. “I didn’t expect to win as much as I did.” Parker echoed David’s shock. She said going in she had high hopes for one of the students, but she never expected they would run the table as much as they did. “I was very happily surprised,” Parker said. According to Parker, this was the first year the grand prize awards
wmorrow@soundpublishing.com
Four American Sign Language students from Bremerton High School drove to Kent in March to participate in the regional Sign Off competition. When every hand ceased signing, all the Bremerton students found themselves atop their podiums with their hands full of hardware. The competition featured nine individual events and six group events. Events were split into three categories based on the number of years students had taken classes in American Sign Language: ASL-one, ASL-two and ASL-three. Bremerton’s Juliana Guyt took home first place in the Creative Fingerspelling Story category for first-year signers. Janelle David took home first place in the Number Story category for second-year signers. And Tabutha Vincent, Tayler Doyle and Janelle David took home second place for the Group Skit category for second-year signers.

Parker’s students didn’t have the opportunity to make a clean sweep of the grand prizes, however, since she wasn’t able to take any ASL-three students. That’s because Bremerton didn’t offer an ASL-three class this year. In the past, Parker said she had been

are taking fourth year independent study, Parker said. Those students were too advanced to compete in the Sign Off, but the students that did compete made a reputation for Bremerton High School. “I felt that we brought something amazing back to our high school,” David said, “bringing the good name back and bringing honor and everything back to the high school.” From around the state, 15 schools came to participate in the Sign Off event. Other west sound high schools — Olympic, South Kitsap, Kingston and Peninsula — competed. Sign Off competitions have been take place at high schools around the state for years, according to Parker, who has attended a number of them in the past. Seniors like David won’t be able to participate next year, but there is a whole group of students in Parker’s sign-one class ready to take up the role. As for David, she hopes to continue signing into college and beyond.

Pageant princess learns about competing By Leslie Kelly lkelly@soundpublishing.com
Rease Horne is pretty much the typical 7 year old. She has cute little freckles and long brown braids. Her favorite color is purple “with sparkles,” says Rease. Her favorite food is mac ‘n’cheese and she’s pretty gaga for Justin Bieber. And as her brother Wyatt tells, she loves the song “Call Me Maybe,” and she “sings it all the time.” But unlike most 7 year olds, Rease has a drawer full of trophies and several tiaras. As a young pageant contestant, Rease was recently named the International Junior Miss Pageant’s Junior Princess for Washington state. “I like it because I get to dress up and I get to meet new friends,” said Rease. “It’s sometimes kinda scary, but I just go out there and do my thing.” And make no mistake, it’s nothing like the popular television show “Toddlers and Tiaras.” “We’ve watched that show maybe twice,” said Jen Horne, Rease’s mother. “That show is all glitz and those girls are all made up and tan. What we do is not like that at all. This is a natural pageant system. There’s no makeup and it’s something far different.” Rease came into the pageant world simply by coincidence. “Her brother’s school bus driver mention it to us,” Horne said. “Rease was about 3 (years old) at the time.” Her first pageants were called Cinderella Pageants and included all natural modeling for young girls. Just by word of mouth Rease and her mother learned about the Junior Miss Junior Princess program. They decided to give it a try. She won her title last month in Portland at a four state competition that also included contestants from Canada. “I danced as my talent,” she said. “I danced to a lullaby.” As a part of the competition, she had to memorize an introduction that told the judges about her. “Watch me spin, watch me dance...,” she said as she repeated it in an interview. Each girl has to walk the red carpet in a formal fashion and gets to model a fun fashion. Each girl also is interviewed one-on-one by a judge, and the girls are scored based on how the carry themselves, if they sit properly and for their talent.
Participating in pageants isn’t all about winning, though, said Rease’s mother. “At first her dad was really against this,” she said. “And we really thought it through. But we realized that she was learning a lot by being in these pageants. She’s leaning manners, how to speak to adults properly and learning self-confidence.” And, at times, she’s learning how to lose. “It was her dad who said that pageants were kind of like sports in that the girls who lose have to learn to accept that,” Horne said. “And even when you win, you have to win graciously and be kind to the other girls.” Making new friends from other places is another benefit. Rease now has friends all over the Pacific Northwest and communicates with them through her Facebook Page where she is also writing a blog about her experiences. “We posted our first blog yesterday,” her mother said. “It was about losing my first tooth,” Rease said. As for the outfits she wears, her mother has to watch her budget. “I can buy things right off the rack and alter them or embellish them in a way that matches her personality,” she said. “That way it keeps the costs down.” Rease practices about two times a week on her walk, her introduction and her talent. She also takes dance classes. And she spends time with her brother playing games on their iPad and listening to him practice his lines for his school play that’s coming up. She hopes to one day be a veterinarian and treat horses. The national competition will be this July in Virginia. It will be a family vacation for Rease, Wyatt, Jen and

But for now, the firstgrader at Green Mountain Elementary School in Central Kitsap is just focused on tomorrow’s school lessons. “I like to play flash cards,” she said. “We’re learning about math.”

Police chief orders outside review of department By KEVAN MOORE kmoore@soundpublishing.com
The Bremerton Police Department will undergo a thorough vetting by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. The review comes at the
request of new Bremerton Police Chief Steve Strachan. “I would call it a very comprehensive peer review, and the people that do it only look at police departments,” Strachan said. “Right now is a really good opportunity because I’m new to say, ‘Okay,
what do we do well and what can we improve on?’ “ The WASPC program is known as the Loaned Executive Management Assistant Program and will cost the city $5,000. Strachan said the review will better position the department to
seek accreditation and will help in long-term planning. “As we develop our business plan, I’d like to have that objective baseline to provide us a really good comprehensive peer review before we get into it,” Strachan said. “It’s just good self reflection.
That’s what professional organizations do, is they invite a good robust peer review, it’s sort of the definition of being professional.” A similar review was recently done at the Bainbridge Island Police Department and the pub-
lished results were far from flattering. The report was highly critical of department leadership and called for across-the-board changes. “There’s was sort of at a different time in their departmental evolution,” Strachan joked.
Bremerton man arrested for communicating with minor By DANNIE OLIVEAUX doliveaux@soundpublishing.com
Evidence of text messages between a Kitsap County man and a Minnesota teenage girl led the Prosecutor’s Office to hand down felony charges in Kitsap County District Court .

the Army’s Command and General Staff College. “I have been recruited for other jobs throughout the state in larger districts and I have turned down those offers because I’m happy with CKSD,” Lynch said. “I never had seen myself in any other place except CKSD.” The service district job appealed to Lynch because it was an opportunity to influence both Central Kitsap and myriad other districts throughout the region, he said. According to Lynch, he was approached about the job by the service district in January and was tentatively offered the position last week. The service district board, whose members represent areas around the Olympic and Kitsap peninsulas, will work with Lynch during the next few weeks to

Commissioners want guidelines in place to guarantee that the money has a good return. So they are looking to appoint a committee of professionals and citizens who would set the criteria that will be used to decide which programs are funded and that would review applications from service organizations requesting money. The committee would then recommend to commissioners how to spend the funds. The tax is expected to raise about $3 million annually. “We want to form a committee that will vet where the funds should be appropriated,” Brown said. “The committee could include those with the technical

work out contract details. Walt Bigby, the service district’s current superintendent announced earlier this year he would be retiring at the end of the school year after 13 years with OESD 114. The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction lists Lynch’s salary with Central Kitsap as $146,644 — $162,826 with bonuses, stipends and benefits. Lynch said that since he and the service district have not yet agreed on an official contract, no official salary has been agreed upon. Bigby, Lynch’s predecessor, is listed as receiving a salary of $157,258 — $168,759 with benefits. The superintendent’s email came as employees prepared to take this week off. The district’s spring break takes place this week, and all employees were given the second half of last Friday off as a furlough day. “As you can imagine, I’m
still in the process of absorbing both the personal and professional implications of this change,” Lynch said in the email. “Having served you, our students and staff for nearly a decade, it is difficult to think about being anywhere else next year.” The educational service district is a state organization that serves a number of school districts with collective planning, purchasing and working. Service districts also act as a gobetween for state programs and school districts. OESD 114 serves the 10 districts on the Olympic Peninsula, as well as the five districts on the Kitsap Peninsula. The service district is not a governing body that rules over the school districts, but one that works cooperatively with them to administer programs. CK Board member Eric Greene said last Friday that, per the board’s operating principles, he could not comment on Lynch’s plans.
experience in the mental health field and citizens with a more practical approach to the issue.” Brown said the guidelines need to include a measurement to determine that the programs that receive funds are making a difference. “The public needs to see that the funds that are being spend are doing something,” Brown said. “We need to have measurable impacts.” Commissioner Gelder agreed. “The challenge will be to create a structure where we can adequately evaluate the investment that is made with this funding,” Gelder said. “I’m supportive of moving forward with this as long as there are measurable outcomes.” Brown and Gelder also don’t want the program to become an entitlement program where by groups that are funded think the funding will be automatic year-to-year. “This can’t become some kind of de-facto entitlement thing,” Gelder said. “That
doesn’t serve the citizens of this county.” Neither Gelder or Brown dispute that the extra funding for mental health care is needed. “A perfect example of that is the county’s drug court,” Brown said. “There is a strong success rate with this program, and yet there’s a waiting list to get in it. We’ve seen that by providing treatment to those who need it, people can turn around their lives and in the long run save taxpayers money with less crime and with reduced time in the criminal justice system.” “It’s clearly been demonstrated that there is an outstanding need for additional resources in the area of mental health funding,” he said. “What we need to be careful about is that we spend these funds in a way that make an impact. Three million may sound like a lot of money, but if we spread it around to a lot of different programs, will we really have an impact?” Brown warned, too, that

to impact everybody,” he said. At this point, the outcome is uncertain, but some scenarios the district has examined include closing a junior high or closing one of the district’s three secondary schools, Olympic, Klahowya or Central Kitsap. McVicker said the current options are only shown to shed light on the effects of all the possibilities. “These are only some of them,” McVicker said, “(these options) are not necessarily at the top of anyone’s list.” On April 11, 15 and 16 the district will host its three public forums, one at each secondary school. McVicker said the purpose of the forums is not to discuss school closure, but merely to gather feedback on two questions: Should sixth-graders stay in elementary schools or
this tax won’t solve all the problems. “We have to be careful to understand that this tax won’t solve all the mental health funding problems in the county,” he said. “But if we insure that these funds are provided in the most productive manner possible, where they will have the greatest impact, they can get results.” Scott Linquist, director of the Kitsap Public Health District, said he applauds the commissioners for having transparency in how they are handling the proposed tax. “There no question that there is a need in the county for more mental health services,” Linquist said. “But as a taxpayer, I would certainly want to know that my money is being spent where it can do the most good and that there is accountability. And I’m not taking about just numbers of people seen. We need to know that the projects that are being funded are making an impact on the health of the people of this

move to middle schools? Should ninth-graders stay in junior highs or move up to secondary schools? Former school board member Marvel Hunt said the presence of community members at meetings and public forums is essential to help guide the district. “It’s important for the community to attend meetings so they can give guidance to the board, so they can say what their expectations are for the district,” Hunt said. McVicker said that personally, he is anxious to hear what feedback the community offers at the forums. Central Kitsap’s current configuration has kindergarten through sixth grade in elementary schools, seventh through ninth grade in junior high and tenth through twelfth grade in high schools. Klahowya Secondary school stands as an outlier — it has no junior high, but seventh through twelfth grade students all attend school together.
Around the time the district closed down the Seabeck and Tracyton elementary schools, it began examining the process of changing the district’s configuration. The configuration analysis has been going on within the school district since the 2007-08 school year. At that time a committee compiled by the school board recommended that ninth graders at Fairview and Central Kitsap Junior High be moved to Olympic and Central Kitsap High School. This process was shelved until the end of the 201011 school year. Now the district is looking to finish the examination and come to a decision. According to the current timeline, the school board is scheduled to come to a decision some time toward the end of summer. According to McVicker, any changes that come about from the configuration process would not be implemented until the 2015-16 school year at the earliest.
county.” He added that the push to educate taxpayers about the tax prior to a decision is an important aspect. “Certainly one-tenth of one percent isn’t something that will change people’s buying habits,” he said. “But it’s hard for commissioners to raise taxes. So the education aspect of this is very important to its success.” Scott Bosch, president and CEO of Harrison Medical Center, said he’s urging the commissioners to take action as soon as possible. “It’s important to have the public education piece,”
he said. “But 19 other counties in the state, including every county around us, have already enacted this tax with just a vote (by their commissions). The need is real. The need is acute. And we’d like to see the commissioners take action.” Earlier this year, Harrison’s board of directions passed a resolution supporting the sales tax increase for mental health services. If commissioners decide to take action and approve the tax, it would begin being collected Jan. 1, 2014, and first distributions could come as early as March.

A detailer’s April Fool’s Day gift It was April Fool’s Day five years ago. I was in the bathroom brushing my hair when Dustin came home from work, dressed in his green flight suit, and told me to sit down. In fact, he brought a kitchen chair into the bathroom for me to use. “Trust me, you’ll need to sit for this one,” he said. We were living in Pensacola, Florida. Six weeks earlier, Dustin had called me in the middle of the day and said, “The detailer gave me 13 options for my next assignment (spoiler: Bangor, Maine was not one of the options…. yet). He wants us to pick our top six.” Detailers are the people responsible for choosing a service member’s new zip code. Yes, I said “choosing.” And, yes, even though the detailer gave Dustin “options.” The word “options” is smoke and mirrors for what really happens: the detailer puts on a
blindfold and throws darts at a map.
Navy Wise
Sarah Smiley Also, the detailer probably didn’t include me in the conversation. As in, he didn’t say, “Go home and talk about this with your wife and pick your top six.” (Remember, if the military wanted them to have wives, they’d issue one.) “Us” and “our” were Dustin’s special touches to soften the blow. In any case, I took the task of choosing our top six
seriously. Dustin gave me a folded paper map of the United States, and I promptly marked an enormous X over three-fourths of the country. “I want to go to Virginia,” I said. Dustin frowned. “It’s not one of the options,” he said. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Washington state — those were some of the options. For the next several weeks, Dustin and I worked on a rough draft of our “top six.” This was like choosing a baby name. We each had a finite amount of vetoes as we scratched off and rearranged cities on the list. All the while, of course, I knew the detailer’s dart and map would ultimately pick our next place to live. In late-March, I was washing our van in the driveway. You’ll find this hard to believe, but it was so hot the soap suds sizzled on the con-

crete. Sweat poured down my cheeks and the back of my neck. Dustin pulled into the driveway and got out of his car. When he passed by me, he said casually, “Oh, the detailer added Bangor, Maine, as a fourteenth option.” I laughed. “Ha! So that’s not going in our top six.” Dustin stopped mid-step. “Actually, I added it as number seven.” “On a list of six?” I turned around and started cleaning the car again. “Well, we can remove that before you turn in the final draft.” Dustin bit his lip. “I kind of turned in the list today.” “You what?” What followed was several hours of me crying and Dustin following me through the house pleading, “They’ll never send me to Bangor, Sarah. I put it seventh on a list of six!” He slept on the couch that night, and over and over again, through our closed bedroom door, he said, “Think about it; it’s not even in our top six. It’s number seven. There’s no way.” Eventually, I started to believe him. Sending us to our — excuse me, his — seventh option would be ridiculous. Why tell a family to choose their top six and then send them to the surprise seventh? Then, on April Fool’s Day, Dustin came into the bathroom and said “We’re moving to Bangor, Maine,” he said. So what can we learn from this? • Detailers don’t care. • Husbands cannot be trusted with a “rough draft.” • Detailers don’t care. • “Options” means different things to different people. • Detailers don’t care. • The military still hasn’t issued wives for a reason. • Detailers don’t care. • April Fool’s Day is an awful time to tell your wife “bad” news. • Detailers don’t care. • Never underestimate the military’s ability to surprise and confuse. But, as it turned out, this April Fool’s joke was on the detailer. Maine has been our best duty station yet. We fell in love with the state almost as quickly as the Department of Defense pulled every active-duty station out of the area. And therefore, I consider our move to Maine as one of the greatest gifts Uncle Sam ever gave me.

Arrests made in area crime ring Feeding your plants By KEVAN MOORE kmoore@soundpublishing.com
Four men from Bremerton and one man from Shelton are in custody, facing charges that they were involved in a large scale criminal organization. The initial investigation began in October 2012 with a single residential burglary investigation. As Bremerton detectives began the burglary investigation, they discovered a much more complex scheme. The investigation grew into a multi-agency joint investigation including the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office, Shelton Police Department, ATF and the U.S. Secret Service. According to Bremerton Police Depa r t ment Lieutenant Peter Fisher, three of the suspects burglarized a residence in downtown Bremerton in October. The victims were U.S. Navy personnel who were on deployment.
Taken in the burglary were a pistol, an assault rifle, a large amount of electronics and personal information portfolios. Using the personal information portfolio, one of the suspects averted bank detection of fraudulent activity by calling the bank and posing as an upset customer needing to provide for his family. Two of the suspects used a stolen credit card throughout Kitsap County. “The suspects then brought in the “financial guy” of the criminal organization who proceeded to use the victims’ information to illegally purchase merchandise at Cabelas in Lacey spending over $6,000,” Fisher said. “He repeated this process in Shelton, Longview, and Olympia where the suspects spent several more thousand dollars.” In late October the suspects burglarized a residence in Poulsbo, taking several rifles, shotguns and

Monday through Thursday, except on
pistols. Also taken was the victim’s Ford truck. One of the suspects was arrested by Bremerton Police two days later with a stolen gun from the Poulsbo burglary. “During this investigation the defendants were arrested multiple times for similar crimes,” Fisher said. “After one arrest of the “financial guy” a stolen vehicle was used as collateral for his bond. This investigation revealed the suspects were involved in a large scale burglary ring where the primary items to steal were weapons. The suspects generally had ‘inside’ information and would use that information to target their victims. These individuals would trade weapons to large scale drug dealers for methamphetamine. The investigation also revealed the criminal organization from top to bottom and how it operates. Some of the other stolen firearms from the Poulsbo burglary were recovered during a search
warrant on a drug house in King County.” According to police, the men that were arrested include: Joseph Peck, 29, of Bremerton is in federal custody and has been charged federa lly;Christopher Hammond, 32, of Shelton is currently in state custody; James Morrison, 42, of Bremerton is currently in state custody; Bryan Luft, 34, of Bremerton is currently in state custody; and Dale Day, 46, of Bremerton is currently in state custody for leading organized crime. There have been additional arrests during this investigation for related and unrelated crimes, Fisher said. The suspects involved in the burglaries rarely picked their victims at random. The information given to the suspect’s about potential burglaries normally came from someone having inside information.
Gardener Joe
Joe Machcinski It is time to feed your plants. Here in the Pacific Northwest with all the rain that falls a lot of the nutrients get washed out. You can see that happening when plants have yellow foliage that is supposed to be green. Poor plant health will encourage pests and diseases to take hold. If you mulch with compost regularly, you will build up the soil fertility and keep the plant healthy. The program like is to mulch and feed the plants every spring and through the grow season, until fall, so when winter arrives they have a better chance to sur-
vive. I drive a lot for my work and I am always looking at plants everywhere, thinking of ways to help people understand the importance of proper plant health. Plants need vitamins and proper care, too. As the season starts, find ways you can improve plant health. Do some companion planting. Plant things that like the same elements such as shade and sun. Plant some herbs in your flower beds. I started planting tomatoes in my flower beds and it is so neat to see the bees going crazy with the blooms and return pollinating the plant. Companion planting helps reduce the amount of pesticides and other harmful insecticides needed to battle insects and diseases. If you use the IPM method to your garden maintenance practice the environment and you will live happily and healthy. To get the fish compost or any other compost try Morrison Gravel at 360-8764701.

“A reminder to all who choose to photograph birds — you are responsible for your actions and should conduct yourself in a manner that respects the birds you take images of as well as the lands you travel. “Please observe a few simple rules of behavior as you go about your craft. If your actions are causing the bird to react in a way that might cause it danger or interfere in a negative way with its normal living routine, back off and approach in a different way or not at all. Respect its space. This includes getting too close in places it can’t retreat easily or using artificial attractors like recorded calls or continual ‘pishing’ that may cause it to leave a nest undefended or place it in a situation where it is more susceptible to predators. These rules of behavior are particularly important if the subject is endangered or threatened. 1 7

Top reds from the Great NW Wine Competition W
e all want to know the best wines to purchase for cellaring, for serving on that special occasion, or for having with dinner tonight. Sixteen professional wine judges have done much of the hard work for us. They sifted through 800 wines at last month’s Great Northwest Wine Competition held at the historic Columbia Gorge Hotel in Hood River, Ore. This week, we look at some of the top red wines from that judging. Our thanks again to friend and longtime wine scribe Ken Robertson, who tasted all the gold medal winners and provided his insights. Complete results of the competition are at www. greatnorthwestwine.com. n Maryhill Winery 2010 Cabernet Franc, Columbia Valley, $17: This Cab Franc from one of Washington’s largest wineries has more depth than many, with deep aromas of black cherry and chocolate.

LITTLE BOSTON — Musically, they’re the next best thing to being there. Led Zepagain, a Zeppelin tribute band, kicks off a series of tribute band concerts in April at The Point Event Center, 7989 Salish Lane NE (off Hansville Road), Little Boston. Tickets for each concert in the series are $10 general admission and available at the door. Or go to www.the-point-casino. com/entertainment. Performances are open to ages 21 and older. Guitar World wrote this about Led Zepagain: “When you think of tribute bands, you might think of them as bands that merely play someone else’s music, somewhere in small dive bars on weekends. But the guys in Led Zepagain, quite easily the best Zeppelin tribute band around, have taken it to a whole another

as the “Japanese Pearl Harbor.” He made his first documentary about the ships that sank in Chuuk Lagoon in 1944 after an air strike by U.S. forces. The lagoon is now a national park. “I’ve been doing research for about five months,” he said. “There’s a great deal of research out there, it’s just a matter of pulling it all together.” As a part of the documentary, Smith has also interviewed local veterans involved in the testing. One man was on one of the observation ships and another was a captain in the air patrol that flew over the bomb sites for observation. “There’s not many [veterans] left. I’m pleased and honored to speak to the ones that are,” he said. Smith asks that any other veterans with a connection to the Bikini Atoll contact him and share their information. A total of 73 vessels were used as testing subjects between 194658. The ships now at the bottom of the ocean represent the major combatants of WWII — the USS
Saratoga, an aircraft carrier; the submarine USS Apogon; the Japanese battleship Nagato, Admiral Yamamoto’s ship during the Pearl Harbor attack; and the German battleship Prinz Eugen. “They haven’t been placed properly in historical context,” Smith said. “I just think it behooves us to remember our history … It’s an important chapter when we first started to experiment with atomic history.” Part of that history is prevalent today — a French designer named his risque swim suit after the island, the bikini. The nuclear testing also inspired the Japanese classic, “Godzilla.” Sponsors will receive gifts for their donation, including a copy of the documentary or tickets to the premiere, which Smith hopes to hold at the Dragonfly Theater in Port Orchard.

n 1946, several ships with distinguished wartime records during World War II headed west from the Puget Sound Shipyard in Bremerton to an island in the Marshall Islands. The United States was embarking on a 12-year operation to test the effects of nuclear weapons on naval ships. The first test recorded the impacts of a 23-kiloton atomic bomb at Bikini Atoll, a small island ringing a lagoon. Many of the ships sank or where scuttled because of contamination, mostly forgotten for the last 60 years.

Keep your head in the game Yoga & You By MICHAEL SZYMANSKI
I
f you do exercise regularly and read a book or text when you’re on the treadmill, you’re getting less than two-thirds of the full benefit of that exercise. I have been involved in physical training for over thirty years. The most important principle involves three factors; focus, awareness and form (FAF). Focus on what you’re doing. Be aware of your breath. Is it labored or smooth? What is your body position? In my experience, FAF is the difference between long term success or gradual decline. If you’re chopping vegetables and you’re focused totally on the activity without any distracting thoughts, you’re aware of the smoothness of your breath and feeling no tension in your body; you are keeping your head in
the game. In yoga, this is called meditation. And you won’t cut your finger. Yoga tip: Trouble falling asleep Practice: Close your eyes. Begin breathing slowly and evenly from the belly. After a minute or so, lengthen the exhales until they are about twice as long as the inhales. Pace yourself so that you are comfortable with this breathing pattern. Theory: Breathing from the belly tells your body, “It’s time to relax.” Emphasizing exhales releases muscle tension. Focusing the mind on your breath distracts it from thinking. Comments: If your mind begins to wander simply bring it back to the breath. Breathe slowly so the breath feels cool as it passes over the bridge of the nose on the inhale. Note: If nothing can be done about it; guilt and worry are a waste of time. “What you focus on expands.” — Email kingstonyogacenter@gmail.com

aroundkitsap Bainbridge island Review Bainbridge shelter treats ill eagles: The Bainbridge Island West Sound Wildlife Shelter recently treated six eagles, each brought in thinly clinging to life. The eagles became sick when they fed off the carcasses of two horses that had been euthanized March 20. The horses were euthanized using sodium pentobarbital; it didn’t take long for the eagles to get a case of potentially terminal ingestion. By the time they were found, the damage to the birds was apparent. Another sick eagle was found after the first six and transported to the Audubon Society in Portland. Five of the eagles taken to the island were juveniles; three were 2-year olds, two were 1-year-olds. The sixth was an adult.
The eagles were treated with activated charcoal to absorb the toxins in their bodies, according to West Sound Wildlife Shelter. By March 26, all the eagles were moving around. The eagle sent to Portland also recovered. The eagles were taken to Winlock and set free March 30. — BainbridgeReview.com
Bremerton Patriot
Neighbors worry about planned new development: A group of property owners who live near a proposed residential development at Tracyton Boulevard and Kint Drive took their concerns to the Central Kitsap Community Council last week, only to be disappointed. The group asked the council to recommend to Kitsap County Commissioner
Friday, April 5, 2013 Josh Brown that the project not happen. At issue is the proposed development of nine homes on 1.65 acres. It is classified as a short subdivision and, by county land use rules, is handled within the county Department of Community Development. Jeff Reed, who owns the property, submitted plans to the county in June 2012. But several components were incomplete and a completed application was filed and accepted by the county in January. Notice was then sent to the neighboring land owners advising them of the proposed development. During that time, the zoning (as part of the Urban Growth Plan) was changed from urban low-residential to rural residential, which does not allow for nine homes on 1.65 acres. However, Jeff Rowe, deputy director of Community Development, said there are misconceptions about the project and although there is a complete application, there is time for review
and revisions. — BremertonPatriot.com
