Kids wait their turn in line at the National Night Out event on Tuesday. In addition to bouncy houses, kids also had the chance to learn about a variety of safety measures to take when out in the community.

National Night Out offers fun, yet valuable information

By Seraine Page spage@soundpublishing.com

If there was anything parents or kids wanted to know about being safe, it was taught at National Night Out on Tuesday evening.

Haselwood Family YMCA in Silverdale was the host site of the 30th anniversary event dedicated to promoting crime prevention programs in the community. It was the first time the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office branched out to do the event without another police agency. In prior years, the office partnered with the Port Orchard Police Department.

However, the event was successful and crowded, much to the delight of the Sheriff’s Office and Y staff.

“I’m gonna say we were close to about 400 families (who visited),” said Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office Community Resource Officer Schon Montague. “I

think it went really well … all things indicated it was a good event.”

According to the official National Night Out website, the nationwide event started in 1984 and “began an effort to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. NATW’s National Night Out program culminates annually, on the first Tuesday of August.”

In the first years, 2.5 million Americans in 400 communities in 23 states participated in the event, states the website, www.natw.org.

Many families came straight from workouts to the field in front of the gym to see what was going on, including Shannon Luebke and her two children. Luebke said she was impressed with the amount

of knowledge her children already had about being safe when out and about in the community.

“They know more than I know,” she joked.

The family found out about the event through the Y where the children take swimming lessons. Luebke loved watching her children get involved with vendors by asking questions and poking around the information available.

“They all came out to work with the kids,” she said of the vendors. “They’re learning about something fun.”

Luebke’s youngest, Jennifer, 6, wore her helmet around the event, a proud statement of being safe.

She looked around as she pondered her favorite part of National Night Out. “The bouncy houses, the food,” she said.

Luebke’s daughter also offered up information she learned, including looking

both ways before crossing the street.

“So you don’t get hurt or run over in the road,” she stated.

Her mother chuckled and agreed with her, praising her daughter for being right.

Most kids lined up at the two brightly colored bouncy houses to burn off extra energy while parents stood off to the side monitoring. Children also had the opportunity to sit on a police motorcycle, stand in a makeshift jail cell or pet a K-9 dog. A touch-a-truck section allowed children to see fire trucks, police motorcycles and ambulances up close and personal.

A variety of public officials answered questions from inquiring children about how things like bomb helmets and K-9 dogs operate on the job.

Elizabeth Brock, 9, decided to try on a bomb patrol See NIGHT OUT, A5

The proposed affiliation between Harrison Medical Center in Kitsap County and the Franciscan Health Care System of Tacoma will go forward without further study by the state or additional comments from the public.

The Washington State Department of Health issued a decision on Tuesday that the affiliation will not require a certificate of need process.

A certificate of need is a lengthy process that potentially would have cost millions of dollars and would have required more public comment.

“We’re pleased and excited,” said Harrison CEO Scott Bosch. “This is the culmination of nearly 10 months of discussion and hard work

and will improve the quality of health care in Kitsap County, and will reduce the cost and give more access to care for residents in the county.”

Officials with Franciscan echoed Bosch’s comments.

“We are extremely pleased,” said Joe Wilczek, Franciscan Health System CEO. “It’s a real opportunity to expand health care for those who live in the area.

They’ll be able to get their health care needs met close to home and won’t have to travel anywhere for services.”

The hospitals had requested a “determination of nonreviewability” from the Department of Health which in essence says the certificate of need process was not required because the affiliation is not a merger or a See AFFILIATION, A5

New local lawyer earns award Crystal Jo McDonald, an attorney in Port Orchard and a 2001 graduate of Olympic High School in Bremerton received the “New Lawyer Award” from the Washington State Association for Justice during the 2013 awards luncheon recently.

McDonald graduated Magna Cum Laude from Seattle University Law School in 2008.

She has worked as a personal injury attorney ever since and founded her own firm this year in Port Orchard.

She has tried a number of cases to verdict and has successfully handled a variety of complex cases. She has been very active in WSAJ and her

accomplishments and experience in five short years would look impressive for a lawyer with 10 to 15 years of experience, an association press release stated.

McDonald served as president of the Kitsap Young Lawyers and the Pierce County Washington Women Lawyers, and has presented at numerous seminars.

Her award is titled “New Lawyer, Ready to Soar.” The award is given “in recognition of leadership skills, courage in representing clients in court, and early commitment to advancing WSAJ’s mission of seeking justice for injured people.”

Hawaiian themed event set for senior community today

Canterbury Manor, an independent senior community, will celebrate 19 years in service with a luau-lineup.

The celebration will be from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 9 at 703 Callahan Dr., in Bremerton.

A Hawaiian feast featuring a roast pig and all the fixings kicks off the event at 11 a.m. Hula class at 1 p.m. and Hawaiian dance instruction at 3 p.m. offer residents and attendees the opportunity to exercise.

Bremerton: Now’s the time

It doesn’t take much to see that Bremerton has its problems. All cities do. But in the case of Bremerton, things are very obvious.

Just look at downtown. There’s not a lot there. Empty storefronts are everywhere. Up and down Fourth Street, windows are filled with “For Rent” signs.

Around the corner, a great antique store that used to draw folks downtown, is gone.

To be fair, there are some great restaurants, a movie theater, a couple of coffee shops, and several art galleries. And there’s always the museums, which are great draws for visitors.

But there is something seriously lacking for anyone who goes downtown to shop. No department store. Few clothing stores at all.

Not even a good bookstore. These are the things that would draw residents to downtown. Even a nice card and gift store would be helpful for those who work in offices in the area and need to run out on their lunch break for a gift.

Instead, downtown Bremerton has become a hub for social services, the Navy shipyard and the place to catch the ferry.

Indeed, with the social services offices, come people with a host of issues. Recently, a large real estate firm moved out of downtown because employees and customers were tired of dealing with obscene gestures and dirty needles.

Almost every week, photos are posted on Facebook pages showing the used hypodermic needles that have been found in downtown Bremerton.

Right now, it doesn’t look good for Bremerton. Anyone thinking about relocating to Bremerton wouldn’t find its downtown to be the kind of place they’d want to frequent.

But all that can change.

Within the next couple of months, residents in Bremerton have an opportunity to decide the city’s future. Elections are at hand and there’s open city council seats. And, the mayor’s position also is on the ballot.

Residents of Bremerton need to go to the candidates for office and ask them for the specifics of their plans to re-invent downtown Bremerton.

Find out how these candidates plan to balance the social services that are located in the area with the need to have a welcoming downtown with a vital retail core.

Sure, the waterfront is beautiful and there’s a great sense of tranquility to the fountains in the park. A Sunday farmers market is great and Friday music concerts add something. But there’s got to be more.

Ask candidates for their ideas and evaluate how realistic they are.

Discuss what will and won’t work, what’s affordable and what’s not.

And give Bremerton’s future to those who you trust will make the city better.

There’s no bullying this woman It is impossible to avoid the warnings in the media out this month. The warnings that the bullies of the world are looking to target international locations associated with the United States and possibly international travelers.

I am scheduled to be an international traveler this month and I will not live in fear or be bullied out of it.

Just this week, I put my own child on a cross-country domestic flight to visit his grandparents.

For all of the frustration, angst and amount of time it takes to pass through travel related security, I continue to have faith in the system.

I will continue to travel, and when my budget and time allows, this travel will include international destinations.

Is there risk associated with living life and putting yourself out there? Sure there is. Not living under a rock exposes you to all sorts of things both good and bad.

I choose not to live under that rock. I push my comfort zones on purpose. This column is one of the ways that I do that.

I understand that my opinions are not always agreed with and or popular. There are times when writing on a certain topic can be

a fulfilling and uplifting experience within the community.

Shared praise, shared passion for something positive and it becomes a very good day. There are other times when my views and opinions are not as popular and some of my readers or fellow

Everything Bremerton

Colleen Smidt community members are more than willing to let me know about it. That is ok as well.

I personally put myself out there in big ways and because of that I am prepared to handle what comes back to me directly. I have been told I am not credible, that I must have to be on some sort of drug to say what I say, and the worst of all leveled at me lately is that I simply write too well and that’s not fair.

I am still trying to wrap my

head around that one.

If I could not handle all of this I would not choose to do what I do.

There have been occasions where I have had to field collateral damage to my friends and family because of my higher community profile and name recognition.

These people who are dear to me are, at times, dragged into situations that has absolutely nothing to do with them except for the fact that they happen to be associated with me.

That is wrong and they are being bullied when it happens.

Thank goodness they are good people that just let it roll off.

Bremerton is my community. I care very much about its future.

Changes and challenges are in motion that will affect the direction and success of this city.

Conversations need to be had and questions need to be asked of those who are and would be leaders to get the most positive outcome possible.

These conversations and questions will not always be easy or popular, but the answers are very necessary.

helmet on for demonstration.

“It’s pretty heavy compared to my head,” observed Brock. “It kinda wobbles on my head.”

Brock said it was important for the officers to wear it for protection when going in to handle bombs.

“First of all, bombs are kinda loud. It covers your ears at least,” she said.

Her parents, Jason and Sarah Brock, watched as their daughter got handson with the equipment and

purchase. The proposed affiliation was announced in October 2012.

Bosch said Wednesday that the affiliation will be final this week and will not delay the opening of Harrison’s new Orthopaedic Center set for Sept. 13.

He said Harrison has a separate preliminary certificate of need on the orthopaedic center project which will just have to be transferred to Franciscan following the finalization of the affiliation.

“It’s really just a matter of paperwork and does not affect the affiliation,” Bosch said.

Harrison now becomes part of the Franciscan Health System which officials have said is necessary because of economic needs.

“We can enhance the services we offer and build on the economies of scale that a larger organization can provide,” Bosch said. “In light of upcoming national reforms, this partnership helps ensure we keep our enduring promise of exceptional health care to the residents of the Kitsap and Olympic peninsulas and north Mason County now and for generations to come.”

In the state’s decision, Janis Sigman, manager of the certificate of need program, wrote that “based on the totality of information considered by the department and consistent with previous similar determinations issued by the department, the proposed affiliation between Franciscan Health System and Harrison Medical Center is not subject to prior certificate of need review.”

The decision went on the say that a certificate of need review and approval may be required if changes occur in the facts the department relied on to make the determination. There is an appeals

chatted with the officer.

“It’s nice and reassuring that she gets information from law enforcement,” said Jason Brock. “It’s nice that it’s kids friendly.”

Parents also perused the tables of vendors, including the National Guard, Safety Task Force and Safe Kids Kitsap County and others while their children happily munched on popcorn or slurped up snow cones provided by Y staff members.

Parents noted the positive interaction between their children and public safety figures.

Jason Lucey brought his 7-year-old daughter, Sienna

Lucey, to the event after working out in the gym. A former teacher, Lucey knew the opportunity would be a good experience for his daughter.

“It was really nice to see the officers interact with her,” he said. “It’s nice to see the positive aspect. I want her to grow up knowing they’re good guys.”

His daughter’s favorite part of the event was seeing all the policemen.

“Policemen know everything,” she said matter-offactly. “Because if there’s bad people or someone crashes, it’s not really their fault. They just have to remember not to

do it again.”

Some vendors focused strictly on safety for women, like the Damsel in Defense booth dedicated to equipping women with tools like stun guns.

“I’m so thankful the community and especially the police force has opened up,” said Independent Damsel Pro Manda Hern. “Women are more likely to be a victim. It give us a voice … you can feel confident to defend yourself.”

Two consultants demonstrated to women how to use pink stun guns that don’t vibrate or transfer to the person using them if the assail-

process in which anyone was file an appeal within the next 28 days.

What’s at stake for many is whether Harrison, a secular medical center, will affiliate with Franciscan, which is a religious hospital system and part of the Catholic Health Initiatives throughout the U.S. During the six weeks that the Department of Health was reviewing the affiliation, New York based MergerWatch and the Seattle American Civil Liberties Union asked the state to require the Certificate of Need and to delay the possible hospital affiliation until the state re-works its Certificate of Need process, as is being required by a directive of Gov. Jay Inslee.

Both groups said they fear the affiliation will limit medical services available on the Kitsap Peninsula for those seeking abortions or assisted suicides.

Area residents also have voiced concerns about whether Harrison would operate with the Ethical and Religious Directives that are a part of the Franciscan system.

Those directives limit abortions, end-of-life counseling, and can affect the sterilization and birth con-

trol procedures that are performed.

On Wednesday, Bosch again said Harrison will remain a secular hospital, offering the same range of services that it does now.

He said he will continue to answer phone calls and email and speak to public groups about the affiliation.

“We will remain secular with the same services that we have had prior to this,” Bosch said. “Franciscan celebrates diversity.”

Wilczek agreed.

“There will be no difference in the services that Harrison offers today than it did last week,” he said. “And in the future services will be expanded. There is no intent to take away services.”

But others are not so sure.

Doug Honig, spokesman for the ACLU in Seattle issued the following response to the affiliation decision: “In declining to review the proposed affiliation between Franciscan Health System and Harrison Medical Center, the state is abdicating its role as a watchdog for health care transactions,” the statement read. “The proposed affiliation will have significant impacts on patient access to lawful health care and is precisely the type of transaction which should undergo gov-

ernment review.

“The decision highlights the need for a serious overhaul of the certificate of need process. The Department of Health statement did not explain how its decision was arrived at or how various factors were weighed.

Our state needs clear standards for determining which transactions undergo review; creative writing by lawyers should not determine whether the government exercises its important oversight function. The certificate of need process must be transparent, so that the public can easily understand how the DOH makes its decisions about transactions.”

Sheila Reynertson, advocacy coordinator for the MergerWatch Project, reacted to the affiliation with caution.

“Yet another hospital deal in Washington that has the potential to seriously limit access to care in a geographically isolated area,” Reynertson said.

“Without state review for this type of transaction, there is no avenue to seek and secure written reassurances, leaving the Kitsap community vulnerable to religious restrictions to health care at their local hospital.”

ant grabbed them during the attack. Pepper spray was also available for purchase at the booth.

Although the stun guns were loud — causing most women to jump — Hern said that’s the point.

“We don’t want you to be scared, but we want the perpetrator to be scared,” she said. “That’s why it’s loud.”

The department also inform people of the dangers of leaving valuables in their cars, Montague said.

Washington Avenue project won’t hurt commuters, city says

By KEVAN MOORE kmoore@soundpublishing.com

The Washing ton State Department of Transportation, through its Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program, has awarded the City of Bremerton $1.7 million to make improvements to Washington Avenue.

Beginning near Fifth Street heading toward the Manette Bridge, the city hopes to widen sidewalks and add bike lanes.

Public Works Director Chal Martin also recently made a presentation to the city council that would take out the righthand turn lane onto the bridge and reduce Washington to one lane of travel in each direction.

“People were immediately concerned about taking a travel lane away and what would happen during rush hour in the city,” Martin said.

But, through various traffic counts and direct observation, Martin says

those concerns may be overblown.

“I just think this project is so important to the city and I am of course concerned about the negative vibe about what happens to the rush hour traffic,” he said. “But, what I’m seeing here is, yes it does impact the rush hour traffic, but given the benefit on the other side of the equation, this is a wonderful project.”

Martin says he has observed the downtown 4 o’clock rush hour on Washington, created by the arrival of the ferry and shipyard workers heading home, several times.

“The whole entire rush hour takes 10 minutes at the most, it might be closer to seven,” Martin told the council. “When it’s over, the traffic just drops off a cliff.”

Martin says that after the ferry arrives, the first Kitsap Transit buses begin making their way north on Washington at

about 4:03 p.m. The buses are gone within a few minutes and then pedestrians begin appearing.

“Then, every day at 4:13 p.m., if you had an atomic clock I think you could set that by it, here comes the first workerdriver bus (from the shipyard),” Martin said.

Martin said that more number crunching will be required, but he thinks that doing away with the turn-lane to the bridge won’t have a big impact on traffic and will, overall, make the roadway much better for all users.

Martin also acknowledged that about 70 to 80 of rush hour drivers turn onto the Manette Bridge and will be slightly delayed without the current turn lane.

“If you just had one travel lane, it’s for sure gonna back people up, but the total difference in the time is only going to be a few minutes — I’d say two or three, but we haven’t modeled this yet,” Martin said. “What you get, in my view for doing

Signs are up at the location of the Silverdale REI store which is set to open in October. REI is currently interviewing to hire about 40 employees for the store which is north of the mall. this — although you do delay the shipyard traffic, it doesn’t look like it has any impact on the (Kitsap Transit) bus traffic — but what you get for this is pedestrian facilities along the waterfront that completes a loop (around the downtown area).”

Martin says that downtown walkability is consistent with city planning efforts and a lot of other work that has already been done downtown.

“You all know I’m pretty passionate about pedestrian facilities in our city,” Martin told

the council. “So I’m not always a neutral observer on these things, but I do think, in this case, this is just a wonderful project.”

According to traffic engineers from Parametrix, a firm with offices throughout the Western United States, including a Bremerton location, reducing Washington Avenue to one lane of travel in each direction would provide adequate vehicle capacity.

The highest northbound daily volume of 5,200 vehicles south of the Manette Bridge is

Perlic said that daily southbound totals are also within the roadway’s capacity.

Perlic said that the road’s peak hour Level of Service would be reduced under the proposed change, but that would only occur for about 10 to 15 minutes after the start of the 4 o’clock rush hour. That level of service, Perlic noted, would still be within an acceptable range.

Vacant ‘For Sale’ homes a target of thieves

By Leslie Kelly

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

Kitsap County real estate agents are spending a lot more time checking on their listings these days — especially the vacant homes that are on the market.

“It’s just very troubling,” said agent Kathy Berndtson, who is on the board of the Kitsap Realtors Association.

“As I talk to other agents, we’re discovering more and more of these incidents. I don’t know the exact number. But let’s just say there are more than I could count on my fingers.”

In fact, the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office reports that there have been 206 residential burglaries in Kitsap County in the past three months. And some of them have been at vacant homes

that are for sale.

“It’s happening,” said Deputy Sheriff Scott Wilson, spokesman for the sheriff ’s office.

In that three month period, at least a dozen vacant homes that are for sale have been broken into, he said.

And in some cases, the “lock boxes,” where real estate agents leave the key to the house and have to have a code to access it, have been smashed and the key has been used to enter the homes.

“These lock boxes aren’t easy things to get into,” Wilson said. “We don’t know for sure, but we are assuming that the perpetrators are using a sledge hammer to break the boxes open.”

That’s also what local real estate agents think.

Jim Almond, of Almond Properties in North Kitsap

Gardener Joe A local gardening column Fall is a great time to address problems in the yard. A few questions I like to ask people are: Which plants struggled the most in your yard?

Did a plant outgrow its place? How about growing at all?

Poor soil is one of many reasons plants struggle. When it rains many nutrients get washed away. With the rains water sits around the roots and can cause root problems.

Plants need to breathe through the roots just as much as through their leaves.

I often notice that in some areas water pools on the surface and is slow to drain. It’s often due to the amount of rain we get. To fix that, add French drains. Putting in raised beds or plants that don’t mind wet feet may be an option.

I like to plant in the fall

on into winter. Anytime the forecast is for dry weather, get out and work on fixing any of the problems you have in your yard.

Now, let’s move on what to do about your lawn.

We are winding down with the summer season.

When the surface is dry enough, give your lawn a nice cut. Mow it short.

I like to spread fine fish compost on the surface.

If your lawn is full of moss, give it a light thatch before spreading the compost. Hold off aerating your lawn until next spring.

Start winterizing your mower. Run the machine all out of gas and do some maintenance. Take your machines to be serviced at shops that sell lawn equipment and perform maintenance.

Happy Gardening, Gardener Joe

County, had one of his listings broken into where the lock box was smashed.

“The neighbors heard a big bang,” he said. “When they went to look they saw somebody driving away in a pickup truck.”

The scenario fits what’s being reported, said Mike Eliason, executive director of the Kitsap Realtors Association.

“It’s happening both day and night and in urban and rural areas,” Eliason said. “The lock boxes are being smashed and the thieves are stealing home appliances —things like washers and dryers.”

At the listing Almond has, he thinks the neighbors interrupted the thieves before the appliances could be loaded.

“They beat the tar out of it and took the key,” he said of the lock box. “It did some damage to the door, where they beat the box off of the door knob.

“When we got in the house, all that was missing were some small items, like nick nacks,” he said.

In fact, some nick nacks were left behind in a waste paper basket, as if they were dropped as the thieves ran from the house, he said.

“And there was a pillow case taken off one of the pillows on the bed,” he said.

“The police are telling us that the criminals are using pillow cases to put things in.”

A clock and a few other smaller items were also reported missing from that home.

The situation has Kitsap County real estate agents so concerned that the association has scheduled a meeting with sheriff ’s officials to try to come up with some solutions.

In Almond’s case, the neighbors who interrupted the burglary have agreed to let him put the key lock box on their property so they can watch to see that it is actu-

ally another real estate agent accessing it.

“These key boxes don’t have any tracking devices on them,” he said. “In this case, it was missing and had to be replaced. But I don’t know if the people who broke in just threw it in the bushes or took it with them.”

He replaced the box and had to have the house rekeyed, since the original key wasn’t located.

Eliason has been asking agents to speak with neighbors of vacant properties they have listed, to make sure that they report anything that looks suspicious.

“Agents are also checking on their properties more often,” he said.

Indeed. Both Almond and Berndtson said they are spending more time checking on the vacant properties.

“It’s a real tough situation,” Almond said. “These homes are all online and anyone can see whether they look as if they are vacant. They have the address and all they have to do is go check it out.”

He also said he thinks some thieves are frequenting open houses to find the homes that are vacant, and what is inside that could be taken.

“We ask them to sign in, but sometimes it gets so busy that we can’t make sure they do,” Almond said. “They act like customers and scope the house out.”

The thieves actions are unpredictable, said Berndtson.

“Sometimes the appliances have been moved around, like they’re going to come back later and get them,” she said. “In one case, they took the piano bench, but left the piano.”

She said they are leaving behind some very nice items that are being used to “stage” the homes, but are taking items like fancy towels that have been hung in the bath-

Locked key boxes, such as this one, have been smashed. rooms.

“They’re breaking into garages, too, taking building supplies,” she said. “At one house in Bremerton, they took the paintings right off the wall.”

Some properties have been hit twice, she said. And, she said, agents have told her that when they call to report the incidents, law enforcement officials tell them to file a report.

“They tell us they don’t have enough staff,” she said.

Wilson said, however, that the sheriff ’s office and other law enforcement want anyone seeing anything suspicious to call 911.

“It’s true, we may not be able to respond immediately,” he said. “But if something’s in progress, we’ll try to get there

as soon as we can. Whether we can catch the criminal in action, it will depend. But definitely we want people to call.”

Here are suggestions for making vacant properties safer: • Keep lights on around the clock.

• Install a security alarm system.

• Keep the lawn mowed and the bushes trimmed so it doesn’t look abandoned.

• Have the neighbors check on the house daily if possible.

Home sales, prices still rising despite lean inventory

By Leslie Kelly lkelly@soundpublishing.com

Rising interest rates, rising prices and rising consumer confidence are creating a “positive cyclone of home sales activity,” according to members of the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. A robust job market around the Greater Seattle area is also spurring sales.

Member-brokers reported 9,565 pending sales during July for an increase of more than 13.6 percent from a year ago – the highest yearover-year gain since January. Last month’s mutually accepted offers across 21 counties also marked a slight improvement on June’s total of 9,484 pending sales.

Northwest MLS director John Deely, said multiple offers are being reported in all price ranges “with properly priced new listings, and we’re still seeing a surprising num-

ber of all cash buyers.” He also noted many transactions are conditioned on the closing of a pending sale as move-up sellers enter the market to buy a new property.

The number of closed sales and the prices on those transactions both rose by double digits compared to a year ago. Members recorded 7,772 completed transactions area-wide to outgain the yearago volume by 27.5 percent. The median price of those closed sales, which included single family homes and condominiums, was $282,363.

That’s up 10.8 percent from the year-ago figure of $254,900.

“We experienced a mini power surge of sales activity that was touched off by a sudden raise of interest rates during the month of May,” said J. Lennox Scott, chairman of John L. Scott Real Estate.

Scott attributes part of the surging activity to buyers who rushed

forward to purchase a home before rates climb higher. He also reported more sellers are listing their homes “due to the realization that the next home they purchase will be at a higher interest rate.” As these sellers become buyers, they’re contributing to the “positive cyclone of sales activity,” Scott said.

MLS added 10,860 new listings during July to boost the systemwide selection to 25,272 active listings. That is only about 5.5 percent fewer listings than a year ago when inventory stood at 26,747 active listings.

In Kitsap County, 515 new residential and condominium listings went on the market last month creating 1,542 total active listings.

There were 465 pending sales which was almost 16 percent more than during the same time last year.

There were 385 closed sales, up 35 percent over last year for the month

of July.

The average selling price was $287,209 with the median price being $232,950, which was down by about 4 percent from last year’s median in July.

Despite improving inventory overall, supplies remained low, particularly around job centers. Areawide there is about 2.6 months of supply, which indicates a seller’s market. In a normal market, a healthy supply level favoring neither buyers nor sellers is around 6 months, according to industry analysts.

MLS director Frank Wilson, representing Kitsap County where there is 3.3 months of supply, expects the seller’s market will continue for at least the next few months. He noted 16 percent more homes in Kitsap County went under contract than the same month a year ago.

30-year mortgage was 4.37 percent last week, up from January’s rate of 3.41, according to Freddie Mac. Buyers should be aware of interest rates now and lock in a rate, stressed Wilson, the Kitsap District manager and branch managing broker at John L. Scott Real Estate.

“There is nothing more disappointing than having your offer accepted on a home, then have an interest rate jump disqualify you from the purchase,” he said, adding, “if you want to gamble go to Las Vegas; if you want to buy a home lock the rate.”

Three counties have less than three months of supply. At the current pace of sales in King County, it would take just 1.5 months to sell the current supply.

In Snohomish there is only 1.6 months of supply and in Thurston County the existing supply would be exhausted in about 2.9 months.

Green Garden Pho brings Vietnamese cuisine to Silverdale ed to have his own restaurant, and learned the business from three friends who had restaurants.

“They took me under their wings and taught me all the culinary skills I know today,” he said.

Dung has traveled back to Vietnam since becoming an adult.

Anh Dung is realizing his dream of owning a Vietnamese restaurant in the United States.

Green Garden Pho in Silverdale offers a variety of tastes from spicy to salty to sweet.

By Michelle Beahm mbeahm@soundpublishing.com

Green Garden Pho, a Vietnamese restaurant, has been open in Silverdale for less than two years, and already it’s a popular choice.

Open seven days a week, Green Garden Pho offers a variety of healthy dishes, many of which include choices between pork, chicken, beef or tofu.

“I like to cook healthy,” said the owner and chef of Green Garden Pho, Anh Dung. He said he opened the restaurant in Silverdale because he wants to share healthy food with the community, and provide a place for people to get traditional Vietnamese food that is also healthy.

“We’re similar to other restaurants, but I think our foods are healthier,” said waitress Kayla Luong. “We also have vegetarian dishes.”

Both Dung and Luong say the Pho, a rice noodle soup dish, is their favorite dish,

and is the first thing they recommend to customers.

“That is actually my favorite,” said Luong. “I eat that every day.”

According to the Green Garden Pho website, “Vietnamese cuisine features a combination of five fundamental taste elements in the overall meal: spicy, sour, bitter, salty and sweet.”

Every dish on their menu is created to feature one or more of those elements, so there’s something for everyone at Green Garden Pho. Most of their dishes have a lot of vegetables included in the meal, an important factor to Dung who insists on making healthy food. He purchases fresh vegetables himself for his restaurant to help ensure that everything he serves is healthy and tastes good.

Dung wanted to open his own restaurant from the time that he was young, and has loved to cook his entire life.

Around 15 months ago, he said, he finally got the chance

to open Green Garden Pho, and even though it’s a lot of work, he’s happy.

“I work a lot of hours, but I’m happy,” he said. “I love to cook. I cook from my heart.”

Dung has just been in Kitsap County for a little more than a year. He and his family live in Tacoma where he recently purchased a home for his parents, himself, his wife, and his 8-year-old daughter.

Dung was young when he came to the United States.

His father served in the U.S. Army and in the Vietnam War where he was taken as a prisoner of war. He was later released and returned to be with his unit and his family in the United States.

When Dung was very young, he would cook for his sister and two brothers while his mother worked full time outside the home.

“I would watch my siblings’ faces when they tasted my food, to see if they liked it,” he said.

He knew early-on he want-

“I have worn dentures for 27 years and have never had such attentive care. The dentures are wonderful!”

Local math tutor helps kids who love math and hate math

By Seraine Page spage@soundpublishing.com

A lot of people don’t like math, which is something Dave Pitcher can understand.

Pitcher, the owner of Mr. Pitcher’s Math Help, travels around Kitsap County to help students improve their math skills.

“This is what I do fulltime,” said the National Board Certified Math Teacher.

“Students can gain so much confidence if they’re working one-on-one with a teacher.”

Pitcher taught math for 30 years which gives him a sense of how much patience is needed during the learning process. Students range from first grade all the way through college.

At the moment, Pitcher sees about nine clients daily, and he is working with 27 clients this summer. Some students he worked with during the prior year stay with him through summer to keep up on their skills, he said. Many of his clients are Central Kitsap School District students.

“The math material keeps being loaded onto. There’s more and more every year,” he said. “The kids are sitting in the class. They’re confused by the book or teacher. They don’t want to draw attention to themselves by asking a question.”

Some kids just need additional help that can’t be found in the classroom. Others need a little motivational push.

Seraine Page/Staff Photo

Dave Pitcher tutors math. Contact him at mrpmathhelp@gmail.com.

Usually within three to four sessions, students start making improvements, Pitcher said.

Amy Campbell received Pitcher’s information from a guidance counselor at her son’s school. He originally struggled with geometry, then, later on, algebra, and Campbell wanted to bring in an extra resource to help her son.

She immediately could sense the passion Pitcher had for mathematics and his enthusiasm when her child got an answer correct during a tutoring session.

“The biggest thing for teachers is they have to have a passion to teach and a connection with the kid,” said Campbell. “If you don’t have those two things, you shouldn’t be a teacher. He gets excited when kids understand.”

Campbell watched her

son get frustrated with math because his past teachers gave one-word answers or didn’t seem to want to truly help, leaving her son confused and unsure. She said the respect Pitcher gives the kids is one of the reasons she believes he is so successful in working with students. Mutual respect is key in the learning process, she said.

For every dollar she’s spent over the last few years for her son’s tutoring, Campbell said she thinks it is worth it. Tutoring is factored into her budget, and because she wants her son to not only pass math, but understand it.

“Just knowing that I know he knows algebra and geometry and he can figure it out later in life is worth all the money I’ve spent,” she said.

“Not only does he help him with math, he’ll ask if he has questions with other subjects.”

Finally hearing devices you’ll be happy to wear

Pitcher’s passion is contagious and is obvious in her son’s own victories when it comes to better understanding math, Campbell said. Not only has he gotten better in the subject, but his confidence and work ethic both improved as well, she said.

For others, math is more of an enjoyable challenge rather than something to be despised.

Such is the case with Bonnie Adams’ two children.

Her children love math so much that they want to spend time improving upon their skills with a tutor.

Adams’ son and daughter both use Pitcher as an extra challenge to excel in mathematics.

“Neither one of them struggle with math. They just wanted to get better at math.

That’s the cool thing,” she said. “I’m a believer because my kids have done even better. You can tell he loves math.

It kinda blows my mind there are people out there who love math.”

Pitcher said the largest issue he sees with students and their mental block with math is that the subject content is something that is slightly unfamiliar and is seen as a “set of rules” that must be followed.

“Basically I show people the reason math is confusing is not because it’s hard, but because they don’t understand it yet,” he said. “If you understand math, suddenly you feel smarter.”

To ease the heavy schedules of parents, Pitcher is more than willing to travel to places like libraries or the gym to help students out. He also will meet in a student’s home if the parent is comfortable with it, he said. He allows parents to sit in on tutoring sessions, which he generally finds to be a positive experience because students feel proud when they get the right answers in front of their parents.

Additionally, Pitcher also helps students via text message. If a student is having trouble with a particular homework problem, Pitcher is open to the student sending a text photo of the problem. In turn, he will work out a similar problem and try to coach the student by showing them how to do one similar. In today’s technologically advanced world, Pitcher notices that students appreciate the gesture, even if it isn’t during normal tutoring hours.

“I love math, and I love helping kids even more,” said Pitcher. “It is amazing to see kids change before your eyes.”

Once such student was Leah Adair who was an honors student, yet she was failing math. Adair recently graduated from the Central Kitsap School District system, but almost didn’t.

According to Leah’s mom, Kim Adair, the math curriculum changed several times, leaving students confused as to which concepts were important to master.

“She was an honor roll student. Getting an F was pretty telling of the situation,” she said.

Her daughter agreed that when she had Pitcher as a math teacher, he had to reteach the students work that should have been learned previously.

“He brought us backwards and then brought us forwards,” Adair said of Pitcher’s classroom teaching.

After finding out that Pitcher had started private tutoring, the worried mom jumped on the chance to get her daughter personalized help. Her daughter’s teacher had told her that there were too many students in class for one-on-one help to be offered. That’s where Pitcher took over, the Adairs said.

“I was all over getting her a tutor. I was so excited to have him work with her,” Kim Adair said.

After working with her most of her junior year, Pitcher helped Adair raise her failing grades up to a B, allowing her to graduate on time.

This fall, Adair will start classes at Olympic College, focusing on business. Her major will be organizational leadership and resource management, which consists of several math courses.

New cafe promotes healthy, clean eating She’s also acting as teacher by showing her daughter how to make all her muffins from scratch.

As for working with each other, Eubanks and Schoales claim it’s easy.

Schoales said that “good communication” is key to working well together.

“We know each other well.

She picks up where I leave off,” said Eubanks. “I like having a young, bright person here.”

Upon walking into the shop, the ambience of health and fitness are evident. Both Eubanks and her daughter are peppy and welcoming, which

By Seraine Page spage@soundpublishing.com

Muffins are actually healthy, believe it or not.

At least the way Misty Eubanks bakes them makes the breakfast item a healthy treat.

As a fitness trainer and health-conscious eater, Eubanks wanted to create something she could enjoy without feeling guilty. She’s been eating clean for most of her life, filling her body with protein-filled foods that are fresh and preservative-free.

Her love of cooking led her to open her Silverdale shop, Fuelrz Natural Muffins & Cafe on July 20 to share her passion of healthy food.

“I wanted to make something I could eat that was a treat. It’s catching on,” she said of healthy eating. “I know so many fitness individuals in this county.”

On any given day, a customer can walk into Fuelrz and order anything from hot tea and coffee to a blended smoothie for a beverage. To go on the side, muffins are the ideal choice. Generally, Eubanks will have five glutenfree options and five regular options for her customers to choose from, including flavors like banana nut chai or chocolate almond. Specialty orders, however, need to be placed 24 hours in advance and customers have the option of 16 special flavors.

The specialty muffins include flavors like pumpkin, zucchini-carrot, peach, cherry, blueberry and the like. Some items are seasonal, indicated by the small ‘s’ on the blackboard above the kitchen where specialty flavors are written.

Muffins go for $2.75 a piece, or a nine count box for $22. Each brown box is bound tightly with a colorful ribbon.

Special ornamental ribbons are available upon request.

Eubanks also takes pride in the fact that she will only use what is in season to make her muffins and daily lunch special. As someone who owns an orchard, it is easy for her to get what is local and fresh. She also sees what neighboring farmers have and bases her menu off of what’s around.

Most recently, Eubanks and her husband plucked apples off her tree to peel and core for her apple muffin puree.

“We’re working toward being all local and green,” she said. Currently, she uses a lot of Bob’s Red Mill Natural Foods items for her main ingredients like bran.

Mother and daughter provide healthy food at new cafe.

“Anything you might find fried, we’ll do fresh,” Eubanks said of her lunch specials.

Custom orders are welcome and happen on almost a daily basis, she said.

As of right now, the most popular items are her pineapple-coconut and zucchini and carrot muffins. Many of her clients have food allergies, leaving them with little options when it comes to dining out. Eubanks hopes to eliminate the anxiety of going out to eat for those with food allergies. She specializes in gluten-free options, and is open to making items for those who have intolerances to items like sugar.

“If they have an extreme allergy, I will bleach my kitchen from top to bottom and their order will be the only thing I do all day,” she said. Eubanks also bakes her gluten-free items in separate pans and ovens from those that contain gluten to avoid any cross contamination.

Her muffins are also dairyfree, except for the ones with cream cheese frosting.

Above all, Eubanks wants her customers to know that all her food is prepared that day.

“Everything’s natural,” she said. “We focus on people with allergies and athletes.

People who are concerned

about what they put into their bodies, period … it’s all whole real food here.”

Eubanks envisioned opening the brick-and-mortar store a few more years down the road, but found the perfect location for her dream shop sooner than she thought.

Originally, Eubanks made the muffins and brought them to her running club. Members told her she should sell the muffins because they were so good. After working to approve every recipe she had through the Washington Department of Agriculture, she started selling her muffins from home. She soon realized a shop would be right up her alley.

“We want to be green. We want to be local and keep everybody healthy one bite at a time,” she said.

On a typical day, Eubanks will spend six hours baking.

Seven days a week, prepping, cooking and preparing food for presentation is on Eubank’s “to-do” list.

The owner knew she couldn’t do it alone, so she enlisted the help of her daughter, Heather Schoales, to assist as the shop’s barista.

Although Eubanks plans to learn espresso eventually, her main job is in the kitchen making a daily lunch special and freshly baked muffins.

makes it easy for one to slide into one of the seats at the tall bistro tables and stay awhile.

The two easily fall into conversation with one another and their customers, partially because of the open floor plan inside the shop.

“She really wanted people to see where their food was coming from,” Schoales said.

With bright lightening and even brighter lime green walls, there’s no doubt customers will know exactly what’s going on in the kitchen and between the employees.

The coffee machine is up front, allowing customers to ensure it’s made exactly how

they want. Next to the coffee area is the kitchen with an open serving window, allowing customers to peek in to watch Eubanks at work.

A fruit basket dangles, showing off fresh fruits and tea offerings for customers.

Sablan adapting to stronger competition

By CHRIS CHANCELLOR Port Orchard Independent

A fitting title for a baseball book might be “A Game of Adjustments.”

Vince Sablan knows that well.

Sablan, a 2012 South Kitsap graduate, was immediately thrust into the role of starting shortstop as a sophomore for the Wolves.

It was far from seamless. He was error-prone, and South’s 2010 season ended in the first game of the Class 4A West Central District playoffs.

A year later — and through a summer and fall of work — Sablan eliminated those defensive issues to help the Wolves return to the state tournament. Now Sablan, who is playing for the Kitsap BlueJackets, a Bremertonbased collegiate summer baseball team that competes in the West Coast League, faces a new challenge. The issue for Sablan, who will be a sophomore during

the upcoming school year at Olympic College, is not with his defense. BlueJackets coach Ryan Parker is satisfied with Sablan’s work at third base and said he might sometimes play at shortstop for OC. It is his bat.

The left-handed hitter Sablan led the Rangers in batting average (.290), home runs (three), RBI (29) and on-base plus-slugging percentage (.888). But the 5-foot-10 Sablan has struggled this summer with the BlueJackets as his batting average is just .198 through Monday. Parker believes Sablan’s hitting woes stem from OC’s season, though.

“We just had a bunch of injuries,” Parker said.

“It depleted our offense to where teams didn’t have to worry about anyone else other than him. They started to pitch around him and he tried to do too much.”

“It affected his overall mentality. I think he felt like he had to be the main guy to

drive in runs.”

Parker said that caused Sablan to become “pull happy” in his quest to hit for more power. But Parker said Sablan has been most successful when he hits the ball to all parts of the field, as he did for the Wolves.

Enter his latest adjustment period. But similar to his fielding issues at South, Parker thinks his pupil can overcome these problems.

“He’s smart enough and good enough to get back to where he was,” he said.

Another development that both believe will help Sablan is the return of his twin brother, Alex, who sustained a season-ending knee injury before the start of the Rangers’ season. The catcher now is playing for the BlueJackets’ feeder team in Olympia.

“Baseball brought us together,” Vince said. “This last year was rough without him.”

While the brothers are close, they are different.

Kitsap BlueJackets third baseman Vince Sablan fields a ground ball earlier this season.

Vince always has gravitated toward playing the infield, while his brother never took off the catcher’s mask after they started playing.

Those differences extend to their personalities. Parker describes Vince as “a little more laid-back,” while Alex is “a little more outgoing.”

“They kind of feed off each other, which is nice to see,” he said. “They make each other better.

“They’re never a problem.

They work hard. You never have to ask them twice to do

something.”

For now, Sablan is just enjoying playing against competition from major colleges. His teammates on the BlueJackets include players from New Mexico, San Diego State, Villanova and Washington.

“The competition definitely is a level up,” he said.

“You get to meet new guys from all over the country.”

Sablan eventually hopes to join them. His uncle is former South standout Boya Quichocho, who now coach-

es at Jamestown College in North Dakota. Quichocho recruits in Washington state for the Jimmies — former South and OC teammate Zach Reyes is on their roster — and Sablan is open to joining them. And while Sablan appreciates his uncle’s guidance, he also wants to consider any possibility to extend his career.

“It’s definitely in my blood,” he said, referring to baseball. “I’m just keeping my eyes and heart open to new opportunities.”

Chuckwagon senior nutrition program celebrates 40 years of service to elders

By MICHELLE BEAHM

mbeahm@soundpublishing.com

For Virginia McKinney, the Chuckwagon Meals on Wheels program is wonderful.

McKinney, 85, has been in the program for more than five years, and relies on it for nutritious meals Monday through Friday.

Bremerton Services Association offers a variety of programs dedicated to feeding senior citizens of Kitsap County.

This nonprofit organization consists of a few different programs that have “been providing senior nutrition services to seniors 60 and older throughout the community” for 40 years, according to the executive director, Deborah Horn.

The Chuckwagon programs are all nonprofit, and rely on federal and local grants, fund raisers and donations to help fund the program.

“We are a donation based program, and so we offer clients the opportunity to contribute to their meals,” said Horn.

The Chuckwagon S en ior Nut r it ion Program offers seniors meals at various locations throughout Kitsap County Monday through Friday at noon.

“Seniors can receive a hot meal and social interaction with other seniors,” Horn said.

The organization also has a Meals on Wheels program which provides nutritious meals for seniors who are medically homebound or unable to make nutritious meals for themselves.

For those that live within the city limits of Bremerton, meals are delivered daily. For those that live outside the city limits, they are delivered weekly.

“I’ve been on the program for quite a while,” said McKinney. “I don’t drive. I don’t have a car.

So I decided I would order some groceries and cook for myself, but I was a real menace in the kitchen. I have to use a walker to walk, so carrying stuff from the counter to the stove was a real danger.”

Because of this, she was referred to the program and started receiving the meals five days a week, and she “fends for herself ” on the weekends through frozen food she keeps on hand, or by getting meals with her daughter and son-in-law.

One aspect McKinney really enjoys about the program is the good service.

“They take surveys every so often to find out how you’re doing,” she said. “They don’t just deliver the food and ignore you.”

According to Horn, the meals provided through these programs are nutritionally balanced meals.

The organization has a nutritionist on staff to make sure that quality remains the same.

“I get a very nutritious meal every day,” said McKinney. “I get all the ingredients that I need to stay healthy, and that’s really important when you’re not cooking.”

Another aspect of the Meals on Wheels program is the 50/60 program, available to medically homebound people in their fifties and sixties.

“It’s a short term community funded program,” Horn said. “These are mostly folks who perhaps … are recovering from knee surgery or hip replacement surgery and just need to have a little bit of support during the time they’re recuperating.”

Other programs the organization offers include the Senior Fa r mer’s Ma rket Program, through which participants are given $40 vouchers that can be used at local farmer’s markets for fresh produce. This program is seasonal, and happens between June and October each year, according to Horn.

“We also work with the Kitsap County Caregivers to provide home delivered meals for family caregivers,” said Horn.

All of these programs are available to anyone 60 years old or older, and can participate in these programs by contacting the organization itself, or getting referred to it.

Ben Merrill walks the field during a Northwest Blaze ball game. Merrill has stayed active since graduating from BHS.

BHS valedictorian keeping busy

By Seraine Page spage@soundpublishing.com

Valedictorians don’t rest once summer starts. At least that’s the case with Bremerton High School’s 2013 valedictorian Benjamin Merrill.

After walking across the stage along with 320 of his classmates on June 14, Merrill started his summer off conditioning with the Northwest Blaze baseball team. The team has traveled all over the state, including as far as Yakima and Pullman.

“I love baseball,” Merrill said. “I use it as a way to better myself. I’m going to do a walkon tryout (at Washington State University) and hopefully get picked up for their baseball team. I’m using that to sharpen my skills and keep myself in baseball shape before I go over there and do a tryout.”

With a packed schedule like he keeps, Merrill said physical activity is the way he keeps his nerves calm and his mind clear. With college starting on Aug. 19, the new freshman hasn’t had much time for relaxing.

In July alone, he estimates he took around five days off from baseball.

But Merrill is used to being a busy body. In high school, in addition to balancing AP class-

es and baseball for four years, he also took part in band and basketball. Merrill is also one of the proud founders of the high school’s writing center.

Additionally, Knowledge Bowl and Link Crew were included as part of his extracurricular activities.

He managed his time accordingly and said it was easy to focus on school because that’s what his parents wanted him to do. He didn’t have chores around the house so he could education as his focal point.

“School has always really been my job,” he said.

Competition was never a part of Merrill’s attitude when it came to being on top of his class. It wasn’t until his junior year that it hit him he was likely to be the valedictorian.

Peers and teachers were telling him he was the one who would be valedictorian the following year.

“Really, when all was said and done, I wasn’t really super surprised or caught off guard,” he said. “It wasn’t really a crazy moment. It was pretty chill.”

There was only one class that tugged down Merrill’s GPA: an AP Language and Composition class he took his junior year with Patty Krisher.

Although English isn’t Merrill’s favorite subject, he

still tried his best, Krisher said.

“At first, Ben didn’t stand out,” said Krisher. “He was in equal company with his AP peers. But as the year progressed, and the work became more challenging, Ben distinguished himself by remaining positive and tenacious. That young man never lost heart or gave up.”

Even after his best efforts were put forth, Merrill got an A minus, a grade that brought his perfect grade point average down to a 3.994.

“That’s what one A minus a semester will do to ya,” Merrill joked.

The small tarnish on his GPA didn’t stop him from applying to and getting accepted by Washington State University. He plans to study mechanical engineering and minor in a language like Spanish or Italian. Merrill chose the university partially because it is far enough away from home where he can’t come home every weekend, but he can if needs to, he said.

“It’s a mixed bag,” he said of starting college. “I’m nervous.

I’m excited. I’m kinda ready to get out and explore and be on my own a little bit.”

To be expected, Merrill also has high hopes for what he his future career will be.

“My ultimate goal is to

work in Italy and work for Lamborghini … it sounds like fun,” he said.

With big dreams and motivation on his side, Merrill is confident in his next steps into the future. Although he is proud of several types of accomplishments, being number one in his senior graduating class is his most memorable achievement to date. “(I’m proud of) being accepted to college and getting into college. I’m pretty happy with where I’ve ended up with baseball,” he said. “The biggest achievement is probably being valedictorian of my high school class.”

Krisher agrees that the accomplishment is one for the student to take pride in and wishes all her students took on Merrill’s same attitude toward academics.

“I wish I could bottle his resilience, so I could share it with students who give up on themselves so quickly, so they could experience the thrill of success from not quitting,” she said. “And when Ben decided to tutor other students in writing, I was proud to see him share his understanding of struggle with his peers. It was no surprise he was valedictorian and was knighted. He’s one exceptional guy that BHS is proud to call one of its own.”

Mental health committee on the way

By Leslie Kelly

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

Four months ago, the Kitsap County Commission decided that they wanted to form a committee to advise them about the proposed sales tax to fund mental health services in the county.

And now, the call has gone out for volunteers to be on the committee.

The county has just posted notice that it is accepting applicants to fill the 11-member committee that will research local data related to mental health service needs, existing capacities and gaps in service.

The committee is part of the commissioners study of whether to implement a one-tenth of one percent sales tax in the county to fund mental health services. The option for the sales tax increase, which doesn’t require a public vote, was passed last year by the State Legislature.

Several surrounding counties have decided to implement the tax and already have begun collecting funds.

K it s ap C ou nt y Commissioners have said they support the idea, and they don’t want to spend the $100,000 it would take to put the matter up for a public vote. But they have not committed to passing the tax.

Commissioners, rather, said prior to making a decision, they want to have the advisory committee look at the needs, and have the League of Women Voters host public open houses on the issue to solicit more public comment.

Commissioners heard initial public comment last April before approving the formation of the committee.

In April, commissioner said they wanted guidelines in place to make sure that there is a guarantee that the money spent has a good return.

The advisory committee of professionals and citizens will set the criteria and review applications from service organizations requesting funding. The tax is expected to raise about $3 million annually.

Eric Baker, spokesman for the commissioners, said during the past few months, the commissioners and staff were working to put together the composition of the committee and what its tasks should be.

“There was a lot of discussion on just exactly what the make up of the committee should be,” Baker said.

“It was just finalized last month.”

Membership on the committee includes five at-large representatives and one

each from education, law and justice, and from the Peninsula Regional Support Network Advisory Board, Substance Abuse Advisory Board, Commission on Children and Youth, and the Area Agency on Aging.

Committee members will

LIMITED

attend monthly meetings and other subcommittee meetings. A full job description can be viewed at www. k it s apgov.com / boa rd s/.

Applications are available online and should be submitted soon, the county website stated.

Dates for the League’s open houses are: Aug. 15 at Bainbridge Island City Hall, Aug. 19 at Silverdale Community Center, and Aug. 28 at the Kitsap County Administration Building in Port Orchard. The sessions will begin at 6 p.m.

Page A15

In addition, the county commission will have two formal public hearings on the tax during their meetings on Sept. 9 and 16.

Baker said the work is on schedule for the commissioners to vote on the tax by the end of the year.

Bremerton Housing Authority finds downtown home kmoore@soundpublishing.com

For the first 70 years or so of its existence, the Bremerton Housing Authority was located in the middle of the old West Park housing development. When that development was demolished, the agency made its way to a Wheaton Way strip mall.

By the end of the year, the housing authority will have a new home at 600 Park Avenue in downtown Bremerton that it owns outright.

“I think we’ve found a location that will suit us well for the next 70 years,” said Bremerton Housing Authority Executive Director Kurt Weist.

The local housing authority was founded in 1940 and now owns some 500 apartments in Bremerton and helps families that qualify for Section 8 housing live in about 1,500 other units through Housing and Urban Development subsidies.

The housing authority will pay $1.33 million for the

downtown building at the corner of Sixth Street and Park Avenue. The building is the former site of the Windermere Real Estate building. The remaining real estate agents from that office now work out of Silverdale.

Weist said that the housing authority will pay cash for the building in order to avoid any onerous debt service in what could be trying years to come.

“We’ve been saving some money for an opportunity to find a permanent location for us and this building came at a time that fit perfectly for what our space needs were and what our location wishes were,” he said.

The sale, which is still being finalized, didn’t involve much haggling, as the asking price, assessed valuation and offer were all so close.

“We feel very fortunate that this building was available when we were looking,” Weist said. “We weren’t able to find anything in our short search that had anything close to what this building

had to offer.”

Weist said the housing authority will also pay off a remaining $1.65 million in debt by July for its second floor space in the Norm Dicks Government Center and will pay off about $1.5 million in debt by September for a short-term loan used for the Tamarak Apartments.

The new building will also eliminate a monthly rent of over $25,000 to have offices on Wheaton Way. Weist said that his agency can’t achieve its goals and meet its mission “with debt over our head that we have no control over” and eliminating all of that debt is a longstanding tradition of fiscal conservatism at the housing authority.

“Because of (federal) sequestration and other cuts in programs is so uncertain, we wanted to be very fiscally prudent in positioning ourselves for coming years because of how lean they are likely to be,” Weist said.

The housing authority will keep about 50 employ-

ees in the government center and have about 50 more just down the street when the purchase is finalized. Weist said having the offices only one block apart will be a lot more convenient. The new building will also have plenty of parking and be more accessible for clients relying on bus service.

“I’m just thrilled to be so much closer now and only a block a way, it just helps facilitate operations,” Weist said. “Our staff on Wheaton Way are also excited about moving back downtown, particularly knowing there is parking available for them.”

While many bemoaned the relocation of a real estate office out of Bremerton to Silverdale, Weist sees the housing authority becoming part of the downtown neighborhood as a step in the right direction.

“I don’t see us as moving into downtown as a negative at all in terms of the vitality of downtown,” Weist said. “We will be bringing 50 employees into a build-

directors of the Bremerton Chamber of Commerce.

Selection is based on he individual having a significant leadership position, having made significant contributions to the community and having been an exemplary role model for others.

According to Michael Strube, president of the chamber, the original Chief Thunderbird Awards ceremonies were conducted in both English and Chinook.

Chinook was a language created by dozens of Native American tribes to communicate when conducting commerce. The tribes also used this language when white settlers arrived to trade and barter.

“It was, thus, appropriate for the Bremerton Chamber of Commerce to adopt this language of business when presenting the Thunderbird Awards,” he said. “Fortunately, the ceremony has evolved so that Thunderbird recipients are no longer required to speak Chinook at this event.”

The awards will be given at 6 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Admiral Theater in downtown Bremerton.

Kitsap Bank marks 105th anniversary

Kitsap Bank marked 105 years of service to the Greater Puget Sound region on Aug. 8.

One of the oldest community banks in the Washington, Kitsap Bank was organized by a Seattle financier and three Port Orchard men, and opened for business on Aug. 8, 1908.

The bank was purchased in 1922 by Frank E. Langer, and has been owned by the same family for over 90 years.

While Kitsap Bank has grown from humble beginnings to over $900 million strong, with 19 branches in five Western Washington counties, many of Kitsap Bank’s valued traditions remain, including their role as the community’s partner.

To celebrate, Kitsap Bank invites you to their branches to celebrate with cake, cookies, and refreshments through today.

In addition, Kitsap Bank also invites you to join them at the Kitsap County Fair and Stampede, Aug. 21 to 25.

“We are honored to be serving as our community’s bank for over a century,” said Steve Politakis, Chief Executive Officer. “While our bank has changed and evolved over the past century, our long-standing commitment to our customers and community has never wavered. Kitsap Bank will continue to be your community bank, focusing on our core values of relationships, community, and trust.”

Regarding the portion size … we almost always split our order. Primarily because as we’ve gotten older, we’ve discovered we can’t eat as much, and a split order seems just right for our eating enjoyment (and comfort).

It’s also much more economical, especially if you like to eat out often.

In fact, because of our eating habits, and the portions we receive, several of our favorite restaurants afford us the opportunity to take home enough for another meal later in the week.

One additional tip (no pun intended) is how you reward good service: Now I realize that not all service is equal. You just might be unfortunate to get a server who is having a bad day, and they’re taking their frustration out on you.

But my experience is that if you treat your server with respect and a smile, you’re likely to get treated in kind. And when you do get “good service”, it’s really important to tip well.

Eating out may not be possible for some seniors, either because of physical limitations, budget restrictions, or dietary issues. But … for those who can … we are fortunate to have a great selection to choose from.

So … bon appétit!

On Aug. 4, police responded to the scene of a onecar wreck on Spinnaker Boulevard. Upon arrival, law enforcement found two occupants being treated in a medic unit. A 27-year-old shirtless man reeking of alcohol admitted to being the driver.

The reporting officer noted the driver’s eyes “were watery and red and that his speech was thick and slurred and he stumbled on his words when he spoke,” according to an official Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office incident/investigation report. The driver, Eric Daniel Estrada, said he and his passenger were heading to their apartment on Fairgrounds Road from Applebee’s “where they had consumed a couple of drinks,” states the report.

After being told by medics that the driver had a broken shoulder and would be transported, the officer “initiated an Implied Consent Blood draw.” Estrada refused to consent to a blood test.

While waiting for the tow truck to arrive, the officer ran Estrada’s date of birth and name and found no such record. A “warrant hit” appeared under a different middle name and date of birth. The officer found that Estrada’s driving status was DWLS/R-2nd Degree as of last December for DUITime Served. Estrada also had two “outstanding misdemeanor warrants for his arrest; one for $2,500 for DUI and the second for $5,000

Although my wife is a wonderful cook, and frequently prepares absolutely marvelous meals for us to eat at home, nevertheless, as we’ve grown older, we really enjoy going out to eat.

Fortunately, since neither my wife nor I have any dietary “restrictions” and since we both enjoy an assortment of culinary experiences, we have the ability to choose from a wide variety of restaurants in our area, which makes for some great eating experiences.

However, I realize that not everyone is as fortunate as we are, and eating out can present some significant challenges, especially as we get older.

Some foods just don’t “agree” with our ability to process and metabolize them, and we pay the price later.

I know my wife has to be careful because she is subject to acid reflux, which is quite common as we age.

I also recognize that eating out may present issues, other than the food, which may be difficult to overcome.

For example, the size

for FTA-DWLS-2nd degree,” states the report.

After being released from the hospital, he was booked into jail for DUI, DWLS/R-2nd Degree, Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer and two warrants. **** A burglary was reported on Aug. 3 for the Kitsap County Parks Office at 1200 NW Fairgrounds Road, Bremerton, where a shed door padlock was cut off near the rodeo arena.

The report states, “Suspect cut a padlock to a gate from Tibardis Road to access the area. A padlock on the shed was cut and a Honda pressure washer was taken from the storage shed.” The value of the item is estimated to be between $300 and $400.

There are currently no suspects. **** On Aug. 3, a Port Orchard resident reported a theft from a vehicle parked in Silverdale at Christ the King Lutheran School. A couple attended a party and had parked at in the church parking lot across the street. Upon exiting the party and entering the car, the couple noticed the vehicle’s driver’s window was smashed in. Stolen items included a bag, purse, car charge, ID, debit card, perfume, makeup, WSU school ID, car keys, car stereo, a work apron and $300 in cash. The couple noticed a silver Subaru leaving the parking lot that was not “associated with any other patrons from the party they were at,” states the report. There are no current suspects. **** A 30-year-old unemployed man was arrested and

booked into jail for prior warrants after an officer noticed him leaning into a car during what looked like a drug deal.

The officer was patrolling the neighborhood of Countryside Mobile Home Park on a tip from a Bremerton Police Special Operations Group Detective that the area had seen a recent uptick in drug users. Upon shining a light on a 1997 beige Toyota Corolla, the officer noticed two men, including the face of a “wellknown felon” named Daniel Easley whom he had previous contact with earlier in the year and knew he had warrants out for his arrest, states a Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Department incident/investigation report. The officer summoned Easley to his patrol car and the other male rapidly walked away from the vehicle as Easley made his way to the patrol car. “I asked Easley if he had taken care of his warrants and he told me he didn’t think he had warrants. I ran Easley’s name through CENCOM and was informed that he had multiple local warrants for his arrest,” states the report. The officer patted Easley down and found a “glass meth pipe” in his pant’s pocket. Easley was placed under arrest and left with a cadet while the arresting officer went to chat with the driver of the car.

After returning to the patrol car, the pipe was tested and returned a “presumptive positive for Meth.” Easley asked the officer to break the pipe on the ground and to not be charged. Easley was then transported to jail and booked.

Work underway on a $5.9 million pipeline in Silverdale

By Leslie Kelly lkelly@soundpublishing.com

It’s barely visible, but work has begun on the Silverdale Water District pipeline project along Silverdale Way - a project that will replace asbestos-cement water pipeline, some as old as 1940.

Morgan Johnson, manager for the Silverdale Water District, said crews are working through the night hours on the project so that traffic in the area will be less impacted. The work, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., will include trenching in the middle of the street from Anderson Hill Road to Waaga Way. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction during the construction.

“The contractor has moved equipment into the area,” Johnson said.

“It’s sort of a slow start.

But by the end of the week, crews will begin to pulverize asphalt so they can dig through it.”

The project is needed, he said, because the aging

pipe won’t last forever.

“It’s not very strong,” he said. “The failure potential is high and if it were to break it would be a very high dollar repair.”

For example, he said, if the old pipeline would break at Silverdale Way and Bucklin Hill Road, traffic could potentially be blocked from that intersection for weeks.

“It would be a major problem,” he said. “And an expensive one to fix.”

Before the road is shut down each evening, the contractor will place cold patch in the road, allowing traffic to use the roadway normally during daytime hours.

The pipeline contract was issued to Stan Palmer Construction of Port Orchard at a cost of $5.861 million and includes replacement or extension of about 3.2 miles of regular water main and the addition of 2.9 miles of pipe for reclaimed or treated water.

According to Johnson, work on the project will

Night time work has begun along Silverdale Way from Anderson Hill Road to Waaga Way. continue through the end of the year. Additionally, sections will be done along Anderson Hill Road next summer when the high school on Anderson Hill Road is not in session, and on Bucklin Hill Road as the county completes work on the bridge over the estuary next year.

Funding for the project came from state grants and low-interest loans, including some from the State Public Works Trust Fund, which Johnson said are highly competitive.

“The projects are rated based on need,” he said.

“That’s an indication of the fact that these pipes

that date back to the 40s need replacing.”

The district received $10 million (for this and additional projects) at 1 percent interest and the loans will be repaid through customer water fees paid to the district.

Currently, there are 6,800 meters in the district serving 25,000 resi-

dential customers. The district also serves one of the largest commercial bases in the county.

In a separate $2.5 million project, the district will complete upgrades and drinking water pipeline in the Apex area.

The work includes replacement of a halfmile of pipe and fire hydrants along Lois Drive near Apex Airport west of Silverdale. That project is needed to upgrade the Apex Water System which was acquired by the Silverdale Water District.

Another part of that project is the installation of a third-mile of pipe along Anderson Hill Road going west from Olympic View Drive.

The Saints Car Club of Port Orchard welcomes car owners, visitors, city and county residents to the 26th annual “The Cruz” on the waterfront in downtown Port Orchard Aug. 11.

This is the Saints 15th year promoting and producing on “The Cruz” car show. It was started in Bremerton 26 years ago, and after two years it was taken over by Van Vlist and moved to Port Orchard where it has been ever since.

The Saint’s Car Club took over “The Cruz” in 1998 and has been building the event every year to the community affair it has now become.

The Saint’s Car Club was started in 1953 and continued until early 1962 when it disbanded. The club restarted in 1995 and now has 65 members, several were past members from when the club started in the early 1950s. Today’s members own a variety of vehicles built in 1973 and older, including antique cars, street rods, customs and muscle cars as well as a couple of “rat rods”.

The club is active in the community and works with organizations such as the South Kitsap Helpline, provide two scholarships for South Kitsap High School students and make various donations to other charities each year. The club was recognized as Car

Club of the Year 2012, for the State of Washington by the Washington Car Club Council.

We expect more than 700 vehicle to enter this year’s “The Cruz” and we will award trophies in 53 classes of vehicles. Dash plaques are given to all vehicle entrants as well as door prize tickets. Event T-shirts and raffle tickets will be for sale. The club will also be taking donations for Helpline and the South Kitsap Scholarship Fund.

“The Cruz” attracts about 15,000 spectators for the annual one-day event.

Shuttle busses will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from the parking lot at the South Kitsap Armory on Mile Hill Drive and the Kitsap County Courthouse on Division Street to “The Cruz” event. The foot ferry will also be operating between Port Orchard and Bremerton. Handicap parking will be available at the Port Orchard boat launch.

The primary sponsor of “The Cruz” is Kitsap Bank. Musical entertainment and vendors will be at “The Cruz” and a street fair will be downtown on Bay Street in Port Orchard.

Jones’ 1936 Ford features old and new

BY DANNIE OLIVEAUX Editor

The featured car for this year’s 26th annual Cruz is a mixture of old car parts with some modern design.

The two-door 1936 Ford coupe is owned by Olalla resident Dan Jones.

Jones started working on the car in 1995 and 15 years later his dream car was complete.

“I would work on it in the evenings after work until 2006,” Jones said.

For those 15 years, Jones’ friend Andy Barchek, would help him once a week to build the car.

“Andy was a real driving force for me,” Jones said. “Without him, I don’t think I would have ever finished this car if he didn’t hammer me. He also was instrumental in giving me ideas.”

Jones purchased the car’s body — without the transmission, engine and interior — from an Everett resident.

“The floorboards were in pretty bad shape and I had to put in all new material,” he said. The floorboards are now covered with tan carpet.

Jones said he did all the sheet metal work himself. The original car body was a “humpback” when Jones started, but he cut the hump off and replaced it with a slanted back end.

“Now it’s a slantback, instead of a humpback,” Jones said. “I have more than 1,000 hours of work just on the body.”

The front headlights, from a Porsche, are mounted to handmade sheet metal panels that sit inside the two front fenders.

The running boards are steel, the tail lights are from a 1937 Ford and the rear bumper is from a

1944 Ford and was heavily modified to fit the car.

“We’d cut and chop and everything else we could do to it to make it fit the car,” Jones said.

The car also has a touch of modern conveniences, such as a power antenna, cruise control, air conditioning and a digital radio neatly hidden behind a panel on the dash board.

“You have to have a radio for some music,” Jones said.

A 16 gallon fuel tank was added for extended cruising and the dashboard is complete with a speedometer, tachometer, fuel, oil and water temperature gauges.

For a comfortable ride, Jones installed two tan bucket-seats from an Isuzu Impulse. “I drove an Impulse back and forth to work for five years,” Jones said. “I loved the seats, so I found another set.”

Joe Hubert — the ultimate ‘car guy’

BY JOHN KINCL

Special for the Independent

Joe Hubert (1935-2012) was the ultimate “car guy.”

Old family movies show two-yearold Joe drawing pictures of cars on a chalkboard, explaining the details with childish enthusiasm. He purchased his first car — a 1940 Willys station wagon — before he even had a driver’s license.

Foreshadowing his amazing automotive skill and vision, he quickly converted it from a wagon into a coupe. There are many stories of his escapades with his high school buddies in that old Willys. His next car was a 1940 Mercury which he embellished with flames on the hood — one of the first “flame jobs” in Kitsap County.

His interest in cars was not just a teenage phase for Joe; it remained a focus throughout his life. After serving for two years in the U.S. Army, he returned to Port Orchard

and took a job as the parts manager at Cleveland Chevrolet in 1957. He was also a founding member of the Saints Car Club in the 1950s and designed the club’s logo — which is used today.

He was meticulous about his cars, washing them daily and keeping everything spotless under the hood.

In 1958, Joe bought his first Chevrolet, a 1957 fuel-injected Bel Air, thus beginning his conversion to a hardcore Chevy enthusiast. He loved drag racing and competed in his 1957 car at Bremerton and Puyallup raceways. In 1961, he bought a 1959 Corvette which he souped up with a 348 cubic inch engine.

In 1962, he ordered a Chevrolet 409 engine directly from the factory — before they were even available in new cars — and put it in his 1962 Corvette. He continued to use that engine, installing it in numerous cars over the years, and it remains with the family today.

By the early 1970s, Joe retired

from drag racing. With a wife and children, commuting to work, and building a second house for his family, time and money for drag racing became scarce. He changed his focus to restoration. His first major project was a 1934 five-window Chevrolet Master Deluxe coupe.

The rusted-out chassis arrived along with a bevy of cardboard boxes containing the rest of the parts. He did all the restoration work himself — mechanical and wiring, painting and upholstery. He spent many hours going to swap meets and wrecking yards, hunting for that one certain part.

A whole new phase of life opened up for him.

In 1994, Joe retired from Boeing and was able to spend more time on his cars. He continued collecting old cars, starting with old Chevys then other General Motors models, mostly Cadillacs and LaSalles. He did beautiful body work, using his own self-taught techniques that he perfected by trial and error. It was difficult for him to

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICES FOR EXCEPTIONAL SENIORS

part with a car after he had put so much time and care into it, and his collection grew to a total of 14.

Among these were a second 1957 Bel Air which he restored to look just like his first one, an elegant 1932 LaSalle touring sedan, a 1940 LaSalle sedan that he transformed into a one-of-a-kind woodie, and a bright red 1958 Impala, his dream car from his younger years.

Joe remained active in the Saints Car Club throughout his life and was quick to share his knowledge with anyone who asked. Even in his later years, Joe could identify any passing classic car with a simple glance. In 2002, Joe began to experience health problems that affected his vision and prevented him from working in his garage as much as he would have liked.

But his appreciation for a “beautiful body” never waned. In 2010, he purchased a 2011 Camaro, a fan of Chevy’s decision to reprise the original body style. His diminished vision did not allow for much driving time, but he took comfort in its presence in his garage next to his other treasured works of art.

My Dad, my hero — Larry Dean “Pickles” Smith

BY NOELLE SMITH MORRIS

Special for the Independent

My Dad and my hero was Larry Dean Smith — “Pickles” to all those who knew him in Port Orchard.

Dad was an amazing man, wonderful son, brother, husband, grandfather and father to five children.

He was born in Kitsap County on Dec. 18, 1934 in South Colby and was a hometown boy until he died on Nov. 8, 2011 at age 76.

He loved Port Orchard, although we moved away for work off and on, we always came back. Dad graduated from South Kitsap High School in 1953, but it didn’t come easy. He was a star athlete in several sports at South Kitsap. At 16 years old, he was involved in a terrible accident. While pushing a car up Mile Hill Drive, he was pinned by the car and lost both his legs.

The town rallied around him and money was collected in big pickle jars for his future — hence the “Pickles” nickname from a kid stuck with him even more.

After graduation, he attended Olympic College and worked at Boeing for more than 38 years as a quality control inspector and IAM union delegate.

Dad was an inspiration to all who knew him.

I didn’t even know what the word handicap was growing up.

With him as a father, he never let it affect what he loved to do in his life. He loved to garden, hunt, and barbeque with friends and family. But most of all he loved watching the South Kitsap High School football and baseball games with fellow alumni and he was a member of the Port Orchard Eagles.

Dad had a love for old cars for many years, but raising five children he put that on hold. He Port Orchard’s New even sold some favorite cars and Luxury Apartment Homes trucks to help support his family.

truck down in Manchester that a nice gentleman had restored to stock.

I called Dad and told him it was a “10” and he said I’ll buy it. Sight unseen but I had the trust of my Dad and years of his experience being shared with me. It meant a lot to me that he trusted me.

It was a rush to see him start to enjoy a new chapter of his life and get together with all his old buddies from the Saints Car Club again. Harvey, my older brother, joined him and they made many happy memories for us all.

Saints Cruz 2013

My Hero Continued From Pg 5

The annual Cruz Classic Car show sponsored by the Saints was something Dad always loved, getting up early and working the registration table. He was always excited and proud about donating money earned from the show to community organizations and high school scholarships.

There was one little problem with the little green truck — he could not drive it since it was a four-speed due to insurance liability with legs. This always bothered me because trust me he was a great driver and didn’t have one accident driving all his life.

He could drive a stick better than anyone I knew and he

taught me to double clutch! I remember test driving a 1958 Chevrolet truck when I was just 16.

Dad drove the truck off the lot and the first stop light he turned to me and said, “Reach over and put your foot on the brake when I tell you too.”

I did as he said and he pulled over after the light.

“Your turn to drive,” he said.

It seemed the steering column was in Dad’s way and he braked with his right leg. I heard it hit the column about the same time he told me to push on the brake.

He was calm as a cucumber, but we didn’t buy the truck with the fancy paint and big wheels.

Dad found a truck for me parked in a field. It was a 1948 Chevrolet that cost $100. He told me I would appreciate it more

fixing it up and he was right. I did and I have loved working on old trucks since and plan on doing it when I retire.

Dad’s favorite past time after he retired was the car club, which he was a founding member.

I found his original car plaque from the 1950s and my brother cleaned it up and we gave it to him to put on his 1950 Chevrolet.

My brother and Mom and I took turns driving the truck to shows and to Buck’s A&W on Wednesday evenings, where he loved to hang out with all his car buddies.

Then one day, we finally talked him into putting an automatic in his 1950 Chevy. He loved the stock truck so much and he didn’t want to ruin it. But a good friend found a stock automatic and they put it in.

easy access to the trunk.

Jones credits Stitches in Bremerton for the car’s upholstery.

Inside the trunk there is a large sub-woofer speaker that drives the music when out for a cruise.

Other parts and pieces that were used to complete Jones’ ‘36 Ford include a steering column from a 1980 Chevrolet Camaro and a power sunroof from a Volvo.

The door handles have been “shaved” which creates a clean, no handle look and are operated with a remote control device to open them from outside the vehicle.

There’s a button on the interior console that also operates the doors from inside the car.

Under the hood features a 327

Chevrolet small block engine mated to a 350 turbo automatic transmission and the rear end is a 9-inch Ford. The dual exhaust system pumps out a note that will please any car enthusiast’s ear.

using staggered 14 inch wheels on the front with 15 inch wheels on the back. The wheels are American Racing’s Torque Thrust model, which provide a modern and classic look at the same time.

While Jones said the bulk of

I will never forget the look on his face and excitement in his step when he drove it to the church car show. He got a big trophy that day, too. It was like watching a kid with his license for the first time and I was so proud of him.

Dad had a sense of humor that carried him through some difficult times in his life. He never ever felt sorry for himself for having artificial legs and never used it as an advantage in his life.

All who knew him were aware of his sense of humor and loved being teased by him. He always had a smile on his face and he loved people and classic cars and trucks!

We miss you Dad and I will always be proud to be Pickles’ kid.

the work on the car was done by himself, when it came to the paint he enlisted the help of Keith Russell who painted the car using an Audi Hibiscus Pearl Red. “It has a lot pearl in it and fine metallic particles in the paint,” Jones said.

“I’ve been to quite a few car shows and I’m trying to get to even more,” he said. “I took it to Good Guys car show last year in California. This car drives so well, it’s unbelievable. This really drives sweet.”

“This car was built to fit me,” Jones said. “We constantly got me in and out of the car to make sure everything was the right fit.”

Jones estimates the car is worth about $80,000, but he said during the 15-year project he put about $35,000 into the car.

In 2009, the event was voted the “Best Paddling Event of the Year” by Johnson Outdoors. The cost of the event is $189 for adults and $125 for youth for the full two days. For the one-day option, the cost is $99 for adults and $65 for youth. The price does not include kayak rental or sales tax, but does include food and shuttles to and from launch sites.

The event is open to any human-powered watercraft, including standup paddleboards, kayaks and canoes. Prior experience is not needed.

Participants can paddle with the group or on their own. It is recommended that participants bring their own tent, sleeping pad and sleeping bag,

Friday, August 9, 2013 according to Olympic Outdoors Center. Family members may also bring a camper to the site for the overnight stay.

“This trip is so fun my family and friends come from Utah, Idaho and Seattle to join me,” Olympic Outdoor Center program director Spring Courtright wrote. “My mother, who is a 66-yearold local, also joins every Paddle Kitsap trip.”

Safety boaters will be out on the water to assist paddlers.

“One of the rewarding parts about the event in the past has been helping people accomplish a goal they set out to check off their list,” Wells said. “For me, it’s just about helping folks make that next step from recreational paddler to more of an enthusiast.”

Participants should be mindful that the event is not a race and is meant to be relaxing, Wells said.

To keep things in order, an experienced paddle guide will take the lead and one will trail the group. Floaters will also be available in the middle of the group to assist those with questions.

Megan Stephenson / Kitsap Week we complete the event,” Wells said. “It’s just about enjoying the environment and getting out and enjoying the people you’re paddling with.”

Participants can expect to spend between four and six hours on the water each day, Wells said. There will be breaks before and after lunch.

Participants can choose to end their trip any time there is a break.

For those who aren’t regular paddlers, it might

take some time to get used to sitting in the kayaking position, so Wells recommends spending time before the event sitting in the watercraft.

“It’s always good to spend some time in the boat just getting your body used to it,” he said.

the group number has reached more than 100 people when the weather is good. At press time, the weather was expected to be mid-to-high 70s and partly cloudy.

the event will be donated to the North Kitsap Trails Association, which preserves and protects water access in North Kitsap. The association created the Kitsap Peninsula Water Trail, a designated 238-mile water trail along the Hood Canal and Puget Sound. The trail has 90 public access points, according to Olympic Outdoors Center.

Additionally, the Kitsap Peninsula Water Trail has been added as a segment of the Cascadia Marine Trail, which is a National Scenic Trail.

According to the Washington Water Trails Association, paddlingrelated activities contribute almost $1.7 million to the Kitsap County economy yearly.

Weather has been a rollercoaster for winemakers NW Wines

By ANDY PERDUE and eric degerman

I

t has been an interesting half-decade for Northwest grape growers and winemakers, and it looks at this point as if Mother Nature will not be creating too many headaches for them this fall.

In fact, in Washington and Oregon, wine grapes appear to be on track or even a bit early, and harvest is expected to begin before Labor Day weekend.

Let’s take a look back at the previous four vintages and the roller coaster they’ve given growers and winemakers a ride on.

2009: This was looking to be a warm, near-perfect vintage in Washington until a sudden frost occurred Oct. 10 that all but ended the growing season three weeks early and left growers and winemakers scrambling to bring in grapes immediately.

Winemakers in western Oregon were given a break and brought in their grapes without too many issues related to weather.

2010: In Washington, this was the coldest year since 1999, with few red grapes being harvested before Oct. 1 — a full two weeks later than normal.

Many wondered if it might be a lost vintage, but patience paid off, as growers and winemakers

Red wine grapes, above, await harvest on Washington’s Wahluke Slope in 2011, one of the coolest vintages on record. This year’s Washington wine grape harvest is setting up to be on time or early. Bins of grapes, left, are delivered to Chateau Ste. Michelle’s red wine facility in the Horse Heaven Hills. This year’s Washington harvest appears to be on time or even early.

worked hard into early November. Oregon also was extremely cool, and the late-ripening crop was susceptible to migratory birds, which stopped and feasted on the precious Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, decimating much of the crop — often by as much as half.

2011: If Washington winemakers thought 2010 was cold, then what was 2011? The new standard for a cool vintage. First, a November 2010 freeze crippled vineyards across the valley, especially in the Horse Heaven Hills.

Then bud break was

Given a choice between the pleasant life you know centuries ago or the possibility of having all you want in an uncertain new world, which would you choose?

two to three weeks late, and vines never caught up. Harvest began even later than 2010, pushing into the third week of September. Harvest went into November.

Oregonians saw this as another miracle vintage, with one winemaker equating it to being down to his last strike with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning before the rally began. It was not unlike 1991 and 1999, when a late, dry push helped deliver the grapes.

2012: In Washington’s Columbia Valley, this looked more like most of

the prior decade, with the grapes being on a normal track and ripening without issue. Harvest started around Labor Day and ended around Halloween, just as it should. In fact, a few winemakers told us they felt guilty because 2012 seemed so easy after the prior three vintages. The result was a record harvest of just shy of 200,000 tons of wine grapes. Western Oregon winemakers also fared well, dealing with the usual amount of rain during harvest and dodging any big storms that might wash out the vintage.

And this year? Growers and winemakers are still in their crossing-

Flitter is a 1 yr old grey tabby female who came to us as a stray. She is a very friendly girl who gets along well with the other cats.

our-fingers mode, but they are set up to begin harvest in Washington as early as the last week of August in some areas and right around Labor Day in others. The only problem might be that it is too early and too warm.

Winemakers prefer a bit of extra hang time for their grapes so their juices can develop into something complex.

In Oregon, Willamette Valley winemakers are expecting their crop to be at least 10 to 20 percent lower than normal because of poor weather in June when the grapes just were beginning to form. However, they are pleased with what is

on the vines because of warm temperatures and otherwise dry weather.

While everything looks good, Mother Nature can still step in at any time and change things.

However, Washington and Oregon grape growers and winemakers are set up to take advantage of this year’s so-far stellar weather, and this leaves a sense of optimism as we head into harvest around the first week of September.

aroundkitsap Bainbridge island Review Diver who died in Blakely Harbor was Bainbridge resident: The deceased diver who was pulled from Blakely Harbor July 29 was 65-year-old Gene Priestman of Bainbridge Island.

The cause of death was not released at press time.

Priestman’s body was recovered in approximately 108 feet of water just southeast of Blakely Rock by a local diver and divers from the Seattle Police Harbor Patrol just before 1 p.m., July 29.

Priestman had been part of a group of recreational divers near Blakely Rock; he was reported missing just before 10:30 a.m., July 27.

Marine 8, the Bainbridge Island Police Department’s marine unit, was on patrol in the area of Blakely Rock when officers heard about the missing diver over the radio.

A diver told Bainbridge police that a fellow diver

had seen small bubbles from Priestman’s regulator, found Priestman and tried unsuccessfully to give him oxygen.

The diver said an unsuccessful attempt was made to bring Priestman to the surface.

Central Kitsap Reporter Hospital affiliation will not require a Certificate of Need: The proposed affiliation between Harrison Medical Center in Kitsap County and the Franciscan Health Care System will not require a certificate of need process.

That is the determination of the state Department of Health, which was just made public by the department.

The certificate of need process is a lengthy process that potentially would cost millions of dollars and would include public comment. A certificate of need determines if a plan fulfills the needs of a community.

Bob Middlebrook of Sound Works Job Center in Poulsbo is looking for a new location for his social services organization.

Officials at Harrison and Franciscan have said that the process was not required because the affiliation is not a merger or a purchase and the state has now agreed.

The two medical entities plan to affiliate and this decision by the state makes that reality a faster process with less public interaction.

North Kitsap Herald Sound Works Job Center seeking new home; Aug. 15 shutdown date: Sound Works Job Center has been notified by the City of Poulsbo to vacate its office at 780 Iverson St. by Aug. 31.

The office, next to Coffee Oasis, will be used for other purposes. The city has allowed Sound Works use of the office rent-free since 1995.

Sound Works Executive Director Bob Middlebrook said he and his board of directors have diligently, but unsuccessfully, searched for a new home during the short extension granted by the city.

In order to accomplish

KIANA LODGE

North Kitsap Herald

this move out, Sound Works is shutting down Aug. 15 to relocate the free internet, fax, computers, software, telephone and training materials used by job seekers.

Sound Works Job Center is asking the public’s help in finding a new location to continue its service to the community. According to Middlebrook, more than 98 percent of the organization’s funding goes back into the operation of its free employment services. As a result of this, the organization does not have the funding to buy or rent an office.

With more than 40,000 client visits for employment services since the job center moved into its office on Iverson Street, nearly everyone in North Kitsap has a family

member or knows someone that has been directly affected by this organization, Middlebrook said.

Port Orchard Independent Port Orchard police investigating inmate’s suicide: An investigation is under way by the Port Orchard Police Department into the apparent suicide by a 29-year-old male inmate in Kitsap County Jail.

The coroner’s office reported that Steven Tyler Ellis, 29, of Belfair was pronounced dead at 3:05 p.m., Aug. 3, by attending staff at Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton, according to Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office spokesman

Deputy Scott Wilson.

Wilson reported Ellis was found around 6:50 p.m. in a shower in the inmate’s housing unit by sheriff’s corrections officers Aug. 2.

Police Chief Geoffrey Marti said Ellis apparently hanged himself inside the jail.

After Ellis was found, emergency first aid was administered by jail medical personnel and corrections officers until they were relieved by South Kitsap Fire and Rescue medics.

Wilson said Ellis was transported to Harrison Medical Center’s emergency room in Bremerton, where emergency life-saving efforts continued.
