100 YEARS Port turns 100 Celebrate the Port of Bremerton’s anniversary In Kitsap Week C E L E B R A T I N G

EARLY DAYS BREMERTON WATERFRONT

The Port of Bremerton had humble beginnings.

As the story has been passed down through generations, it is said that the city of Bremerton had inadvertently built portions of its wharf, an important commercial and transportation hub, over privately-owned tidelands. The property owner’s threatened lawsuit prompted a signature-gathering campaign by citizens to put the formation of a port district within the city of Bremerton’s boundaries on the ballot in the hopes of resolving the dispute.

Many changes within the Port District have transpired these 100 years and the Port is looking forward to recounting and celebrating its history with the public.

Silverdale Farmers Market draws to a close

Leslie Kelly/ staff photo

Titus, left, and Justus Bakke enjoy a stroll through the Silverdale Farmers Market Tuesday.

Tuesday was the final farmers market in Silverdale. Among those who came out one last time was Kirsten Bakke of Silverdale, who brought her boys, Titus, 1, and Justus, 4. “We came out to get some fresh vegetables for dinner,” she said. She’s made it out to about half the markets this season.

Monica Phillips, who helps organize the markets, said this season was better than last because the weather was better. Merchant Jody Eichel agreed. She and her dog, Rocky, were out with Eichel’s handmade quilts, playmats, blankets and bibs on the last day of the market. Meanwhile, Dave Osborn enjoyed some cinnamon bread while manning his Big Bear Smokehouse jerkies booth which he ran this summer at the market.

With fall arriving, pumpkins and squash were among the vegetables available on the last day of the Silverdale Farmers Market. Some weeks brought more than 35 vendors.

Committee looking at ideas for new Silverdale library

By Leslie Kelly

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

When Terri McKenzie was growing up in the Central Kitsap area, her trips to the public library took her to the Sylvan Branch of the Kitsap Regional Libraries in East Bremerton.

Today, her daughter often uses the Silverdale Library because it’s closer to home and more convenient.

“Her dream job would be to go to work there,” McKenzie said of her daughter.

But McKenzie, a Silverdale CPA, knows that the Silverdale library leaves much to be desired. Her personal opinion is that Silverdale needs a new library. But she’s committed to listening to residents of the area as she serves on a committee that’s looking at what’s next for the Silverdale Library.

The committee was formed from a meeting earlier this month between members of the Central Kitsap Community Council, the Friends of the Silverdale Library and officials of the Kitsap Regional

Libraries.

The committee’s work is to raise awareness about the need for a larger library in Silverdale and to determine if there is the support and funding to build one.

“Silverdale deserves a new library and can make one happen,” said McKenzie. “But what we want to do is to figure out if the community wants one.”

The current library is about 4,800 square feet, and is owned by the regional library district. It was originally owned

by Friends of the Silverdale Library, a non-profit group.

But when Navy Base Kitsap Bangor was built, there were impact fees from the federal government that were made available to help with the additional use the library would have. Those funds, however, could only be given to a public agency or government body.

So the Friends group deeded the library to KRL for a dollar.

Using those impact fees, the library was expanded to its current size. It was originally just a 16 by 16 foot Navy sur-

plus building.

After a library levy failed in 2007 and again in 2010, the Kitsap Library District didn’t have the money to make any improvements or expand the Silverdale Library.

Following the two failed levies, the Alford Group, was hired in September 2012, and it was determined that there wasn’t enough support in Silverdale to justify a community fundraising effort. The consultant also said any future See LIBRARY, A17

OC will offer new program

Olympic College will now offer a bachelor’s degree of Applied Science (BAS) program in Computer Information Systems (CIS) made possible through a $200,000 grant.

The goal is to build Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) pathways from K-12 to the baccalaureate level. The funds will allow teachers from local high schools to gather with college faulty to ensure the curriculum is seamless.

“We’ve enjoyed excellent community support from employers and school district partners and I look forward to expanding these partnerships,” said Olympic College’s Vice President of Instruction Mary Garguile.

“Increasing baccalaureate program options is one of the college’s strategic goals.”

The grant comes from the recently passed Washington State Legislature Senate Bill 5624. The bill aligns high demand secondary STEM or career and technical programs with applied baccalaureate programs.

Museum to display photographs A traveling exhibit “100 Years of Photographs: Selections from the Suquamish Tribal Archives,” will open Oct. 4 at the Kitsap County Historical Society Museum.

The exhibit will be up through January of 2014 and it is funded by the Kitsap Community Foundation.

Dennis Lewarch, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, Suquamish Tribe, will give a short presentation on the Suquamish history for the exhibit opening at 6 p.m., on Oct. 4. The public is invited to the free presentation.

The exhibit is dedicated to collecting, preserving and exhibiting the diverse culture, heritage and history of Kitsap County.

The Kitsap History Museum is located at 280 Fourth St. in downtown Bremerton. For more information call 360-479-6226.

VFW event honors those who are POW/MIA

By Seraine Page spage@soundpublishing.com

On Sept. 20, VFW Post No. 239 gathered to remember POW/MIA military members in a ceremony at the Bremerton post. The date is a National POW/MIA Recognition Day as defined by the Department of Defense.

Around 100 members and community leaders gathered for the event which included a colors presentation, prayer, proclamation reading, moment of silence, rifle volley and other gestures of respect.

White carnations were also placed on a table in front of uniform covers in memory of those who are missing or fallen.

An empty table sat in the background as a symbolic gesture for those in the armed forces who have not come home.

Overall, the local veterans want Americans to always remember the sacrifice of those who went missing-inaction or are prisoners-of-war.

Throughout the evening, members of VFW Post No. 239 were asked: Why is it so

important to you to recognize POW/MIA Day? Here are their responses: “I think that it’s important to honor them. I think it’s important that someone’s celebrating it. I think that it’s important to celebrate their lives and the sacrifice they made.”

Jared Dickson, active duty Navy, 9 years.

“I left comrades there in Vietnam. This allows me an opportunity to remember them and honor them.”

Tom Thompson, retired Navy, 26 years.

“This is important because we need to see these people get back home. We have to be able to identify those who haven’t come home. It’s the way we can remember these vets.”

Fritz Swyers, VFW Post No. 239 commander, former Navy, 4 years.

“I think my generation didn’t really have people in the middle there that we didn’t really know where they are. They really went through hell as POWs. I respect that they did that. I just want to remember them. I think it’s an important thing that we do. It’s a very sad thing we have to do this.”

Seraine Page/ Staff photo

The Honor Guard present the colors during a recognition ceremony to honor POW/MIA Day which was last week. Around 100 members and guests attended the event which is hosted by VFW Post No. 239 each year.

Michelle Hodges, retired Navy, 23 years.

“There’s still a lot of MIAs.

There’s families they left behind.

Their families don’t have a grave … it’s so the families can

have closure.”

Michael Thompson, retired Navy, 20 years.

Prepare for the holidays with Clean Grout Northwest

BY JOHNNY WALKER FOR SOUNDPUBLISHING INC.

Getting ready for the holidays with Clean Grout Northwest can restore your home or business with a fresh new look without the cost, time, or hassle of reconstruction. Instead of replacing dull stone counters or tiles, restore them to look like new at a fraction of the cost. Get started in time for the holidays with a free on site assessment by calling Mike Holm at 360-621-1730.

Clean Grout Northwest specializes in both residential and commercial restoration of tile and stone surfaces. Stone counters, shower stalls, floor tiles and even cement, owner Mike Holm offers cost efficient options that can extend the life and value of your space.

Restoring kitchens, food handling and customer service counters are a particular specialty for Holm.

Johnny Walker/Sound Publishing

A family operated business, Mike Holm is the owner of Clean Grout Northwest.

Call 360-621-1730 for your free on-site assessment for tile and stone restoration throughout the Puget Sound.

“Our polish-and-seal solutions for granite counters are fully compliant with California’s high standards for volatile organic compounds (VOC).

They are approved for all food service areas and are among the safest and most environmentally green solutions available in the industry today,” said Holm.

Showers and bathrooms are other great areas for low cost restoration. With the popularity of glass enclosures over standard shower curtains, hard water deposits, mildew and mold can build up over time and result in unsightly stains. Clean Grout Northwest offers a process to remove those stubborn spots, then polishes and seals the glass to make your shower look like new. For marble showers and surfaces, polishing with diamond pads can return a dull and scratched surface to an original luster.

“In many cases, for example, we can restore a shower stall at one-tenth the cost of replacement,” Holm said. “For about $300.00 and up, we can make an old shower

look brand new and we don’t use harsh cleaners to do it. At Clean Grout Northwest, we always use enzyme based cleaners that are safe, and never use bleach or other harsh chemicals.”

After an on site inspection and discussion about the best way to accomplish customer goals, Clean Grout Northwest works closely with customers throughout the project.

Optional treatments can include a variety of minor repairs, high pressure cleaning, re-grouting, polishing, color-match and sealing, hard water removal, shower restoration, anti-slip treatments, and stone counter restoration.

Interior and exterior options for specialty decor are also available.

Fireplaces, vanities, slate and flagstone walkways are among Holm’s long list of services. Other commonly restored stonework includes limestone and travertine.

Before starting any project, Holm protects the area to avoid unnecessary mess, splash back or inappropriate runoff. When using high pressure systems, a self contained vacuum leaves no mess and floors are typically ready for use within an hour after the job is complete.

As you prepare your home or business for the holiday season, trust the experts at Clean Grout Northwest for your full service restoration provider. It all begins with a call to Mike Holm at 360-621-1730, or visit Clean Grout Northwest at http://www.cleangroutnw.com.

When is enough, enough?

Do we care enough?

That’s the questions that was posed to the American people this week by our Commander in Chief.

At a service to honor those who were shot and killed at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., earlier this month, President Obama asked the American people whether we are willing to do more than just keep grieving and expect different outcomes.

The question is not “whether as Americans we care in moments of tragedy. Clearly we care. Our hearts are broken again. But do we care enough?,” he asked.

He pointed to the fact that the Navy yard shootings are part of a pattern of violence present in the United States that somehow seems to be accepted as though there was nothing we could do to stop it.

Following another mass shooting — the killing of 20 innocent children at Sandy Hook Elementary School last December — the President made good on his pledge to those children’s parents. He led an effort to push through legislation that would aggressively restrict gun sales. It included expanded background checks and would have closed the loopholes that allow gun sales without background checks.

But that work was for not when the Senate could not pass a compromised background check bill, due to the strong opposition from the National Rifle Association and lawmakers who favor gun rights.

As the president said this week, “it may not happen tomorrow and it may not happen next week or next month, but it will happen because it is the change we need.”

The politics of gun control are messy. The arguments often hinge on Second Amendment rights, and fears that the rights of lawful gun owners might be compromised.

And some in Congress are just too afraid to stand up to the NRA. Each time a shooting happens in America — Newtown, Tucson, Aurora, Oak Creek, Fort Hood, and now Washington, D.C. — we react with shock, not believing that it has happened again. But it will continue to happen until we care enough to make a change.

It’s our responsibility as Americans to see that guns do not get in the wrong hands. It’s our duty, too, to fund the mental health care system so as to help the mentally ill before they act with gun violence.

Until we care, we will be a nation that continues to mourn.

The last of the chaperones The world is the ultimate classroom. I have always been a firm believer in that.

Continuing education is a lifelong pursuit of available opportunities both traditionally structured and at times very random in their public or civic nature.

The fact that my own child has the opportunity to get out of the classroom and learn is a very good thing.

Some of these real-world experiences are supplied by my own civic participation, responsibilities and efforts and some opportunities are provided by the STEM environment at his school.

Field trips have become an important part of the existing STEM curriculum.

Since Nick began kindergarten, Jason and I have juggled what we needed with our full time jobs to split class field trips so that one of us always gets to go.

Nick is still at that age where he enjoys having us there so we embrace it while we still have the chance.

There was even a rare single occasion where both of us were chaperones on the same excursion.

As rewarding as these excursions are they are also exhaust-

ing. Even more exhausting when it is the same small group of parents going time after time after time.

I did three field trips last year,

Everything Bremerton

Colleen Smidt or was it four? All are a fun blur by this point.

This week the 7th grade field trip to a brand new exhibit at the Pacific Science Center was in jeopardy of being cancelled because not enough chaperones were volunteering to go.

My work load and schedule this week really had no room for me to be gone from my office.

However, I could not shoulder the disappointment of an entire grade level if I did not work every

string and angle I could to pull a day off and commit to be the last chaperone needed to avoid cancellation.

Somehow I did it. The price to be paid for this has yet to be determined.

I encourage more parents to make the time, juggle siblings, shift the work load and participate as class chaperones on upcoming field trips.

Grandparents, too, make great chaperones on these field trips.

It is fun and those of us who have had multiple turns on this particular ride really need you to fill in for a while.

You will enjoy it and quite honestly you will be very tired at the end of the day.

Consider that this is your opportunity to get out and learn as well.

View these opportunities through the eyes of your children and it will change how you view the world.

A military spouse’s view on Syria Navy Wise

Sarah Smiley When things like the situation in Syria pop up, people always want to know how military families feel. Do you agree with the president? they ask. Are you prepared for your husband to possibly deploy? Are you worried?

What’s surprising to military families, however, is that any of this should be, well, a surprise.

It’s kind of like asking a doctor if she is nervous about the increase in heart disease in America. While the doctor isn’t happy about more frequent heart disease, she also wouldn’t be sitting on her duff otherwise. She tends to patients in either case. Her whole career, she has thought about heart disease, even if the media and the public are just now recognizing the problem. That’s because it’s her job.

It’s the same way for the military. But I will answer each question anyway.

Do you agree with the president and his plan for Syria?

tice. And so something like Syria never comes as a shock or surprise.

Are you worried?

I was mostly worried when CNN and Fox News were reporting on ship locations and plans because I know that we have friends on those ships. But I was also worried for military friends when tsunamis hit overseas, and when the nuclear plant in Japan melted down.

In a very general way, our spouses’ jobs don’t become significantly more dangerous just because the U.S. is taking action. My husband’s job has always had risks.

For almost five years, he trained young Navy pilots in a single-engine airplane. No one asked me if I was worried then (Note: I was). And, indeed, most of our friends who have died in uniform died in training accidents.

The gunman who walked into the Navy Yard last week and killed 12 people makes this point disturbingly clear.

Unlike in wars past, today it seems equally dangerous to be in U.S. According to Dustin, that September morning in 2001 was the first time he was concerned for my safety here.

There he was on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean, and the war was happening here at home.

And so, sadly, I think an increasingly relevant question in the future will be, “Are the deployed service members worried about leaving behind their loved ones?”

Support for RESULTS I applaud your recent article on the local grassroots volunteer organization RESULTS, which works toward the elimination of extreme poverty globally.

We RESULTS volunteers support microfinance; the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria; global literacy, etc.

Humanitarian programs help address the root causes of poverty and extremism that continue to threaten our nation. Our military leaders, including Sec. of Defense Leon Panetta, have been adamant that deep cuts to development and diplomacy programs will be detrimental to our national security.

It’s important to note that less than 1 percent of our federal budget goes to international development (foreign aid) — far less than probably most people realize.

More than 50 million primary school-aged kids do not go to school at all, locking them in grinding poverty. Globally, for every year of schooling a boy receives, there’s a 20 percent reduction in the likelihood that he will engage in violent behavior.

People of voting age with a primary education are one and a half times more likely to support democracy than people with no education.

More than one in five U.S. jobs profit from global trade. About 50 percent of our exports are purchased by nations in the developing worlds, and 97 percent of U.S. businesses that benefit

from exports are small and medium-sized businesses.

When the developing countries benefit, so do we.

It was the grass-roots efforts of Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Freedom Riders which precipitated blacks finally achieving less discrimination. It was Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring in l962 which brought about the environmental movement.

We do indeed live in a global village. We can make a difference. www.results. org offers a wealth of information.

Endorsing Mayor Lent I am proud to enthusiastically endorse Mayor Patty Lent’s desire to continue to be the mayor of Bremerton.

She has boundless energy and commitment to the people she represents. Lent works hard to promote Bremerton as a friendly and beautiful city.

Lent recently closed a $4 million dollar budget shortfall in her first term and was the first one to take a 5 percent pay cut and spearheaded city wide furloughs.

Although she does not tout her success, Bremerton has opened eight new restaurants, Winco is doing business in West Bremerton, there is a new SEEfilm Cinema and other projects.

The mayor has done a great job and works hard to promote an open-door policy. In my opinion, she deserves to have a second term to bring her experience and leadership to Bremerton.

Family Pancake House celebrates 50 years

By Leslie Kelly lkelly@soundpublishing.com

Lots of things have changed in the 50 years that Bob Mathwig has owned the Family Pancake House restaurants.

As Mathwig will tell you, there’s lots more government “red tape.” There’s many more regulations about employees — what ages they can start working and how many hours they can work. And there’s even more rules about what you can serve and how.

But one thing’s stayed the same.

“We still use the same pancake recipe we used the day I started,” Mathwig said.

“Some things — the good things — never change.”

Mathwig is owner of the Family Pancake Houses in East Bremerton, West Bremerton, Port Orchard, Redmond and Edmonds.

His career in the restaurant business started in 1963, but he learned about working long before that.

“When I was just a kid, I wrapped meat in my grandpa’s meat market at night,” he said. “He paid me $5 a week. And on the weekends, I’d get a dollar for scrubbing and waxing the floors.”

He graduated from Lincoln High School in Seattle and had planned

to go to junior college in Everett. But when he went to enroll, the college classes were full. So he went to work with his father hanging garage doors.

A few years later, he was talking about becoming a dump truck driver, when a man at the Lake City overheard him and “told me that was too hard of work.”

“The man said, ‘I’ve got a restaurant in Bremerton I’ll sell you,’” Mathwig recalled.

“I told him I didn’t know anything about cooking. He said he’d teach me.”

So for a week, Mathwig worked in the kitchen with the man and then decided to buy the restaurant. He sold his 1958 Corvette for $13,500 and got a bank note for $3,500, and with his parent’s co-signature the Family Pancake House in Bremerton was his.

The original restaurant was down the street from where it is today on Kitsap Way. And in those days, Mathwig worked all shifts, often times from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week. He cooked, washed dishes and did the maintenance around the place.

“I had one day off and that was so I could do the paperwork,” he said.

In the 1970s, he added Family Pancake Houses in East Bremerton, Port

Orchard and took over those in Redmond and Edmonds.

At one time he had restaurants in the Rainier Valley and in Kenmore, but when things went bad with a business partner, those were split up and then later sold.

As a businessman, he credits some of his success to diversifying. Besides the pancake houses, he operates the Arena Sports Bar in East Bremerton, the FPH Construction Company and he owns an apartment house, a self-storage business and is a partner in a couple of hotels.

“My real success is because I’m (financially) conservative,” he said. “I pay for things and I don’t try to leverage my investments. It’s made a difference in times like the most recent downturn in the economy.”

He also credits the staffs at his restaurants with his success.

“To make it 50 years in the restaurant business is pretty much unheard of,” he said.

“I’ve been lucky because I’ve had people who have stayed with me. I have one couple in Seattle who have worked 40 years for me.”

In the early years, the restaurants were truly just pancake houses, serving breakfast-type foods all day long. But Mathwig knew that to stay competitive, he

There’s been nothing better than pancakes in Bob Mathwig’s professional world. After 50 years in the business, Mathwig recently reflected on his career from his office. had to add lunch and dinner menus.

Today, they serve a wide range of food and have their own homemade salad dressings and gravies. And the sausage they serve is made specially for them. By far, the crowd favorite is still buttermilk pancakes and Swedish pancakes, he said. Their busiest times are Saturday and Sunday mornings.

“Today we do in one Saturday what it took us a month to make when I started in this business,” he said.

As for Mathwig, he rarely eats at one of his own places.

“I love our food,” he said.

“But when I go in, I can’t enjoy a meal because I’m looking around to make sure things are running smoothly. And so often, people know me and they come up and talk and I can’t eat my food before it gets cold.”

He does, however, still cook — at home.

His wife of the past 20 years, Kristi, was severely injured when thrown from a horse five years ago and has limited mobility. He likes to make her eggs, hash browns and pancakes on Sunday mornings.

He employs more than 300 people in his businesses and the paperwork he used to do — payroll and reconciling accounts — takes two full time people and help from a third.

And while he has seven children from three marriages, he’s uncertain of the future of the restaurants.

“There’s nobody to follow in my footsteps,” he said. “None of them have an interest in this business.”

But Mathwig can’t see

himself ever retiring, either.

“I’ll never retire-retire,” he said. “I wouldn’t know what to do with myself.”

He’s often seen around his businesses in a checkered flannel shirt with a tool box, fixing what needs to be fixed.

“I hate desk work,” he said.

“I’d rather be out and about.

But I still do all my own leases and I haven’t raised any rents in five years.”

For now, he’ll keep going to work every day, other than the vacations he takes.

He and his wife enjoy trips to Maui where they were married and they frequent their ranch near Sun Valley, Idaho, where they have horses and raise cattle.

“I love being on the ranch,” he said. “But Bremerton and this area has been good to us. This is home and I can’t see not being right here.”

Local Family Pancake Houses are located at 3900 Kitsap Way and 4115 Wheaton Way in Bremerton and at 1034 Bethel Ave., in Port Orchard. To look at a menu or see the hours, go to www.familypancakehouse. com.

Caddell named interim superintendent at Bremerton

By Seraine Page spage@soundpublishing.com

During last week’s Bremer ton School District board meeting, Superintendent Dr. Aaron Leavell named Lynn Caddell as an interim assistant superintendent.

Caddell, who is principal of Washington Youth Academy, will take over the assistant superintendent role for one year.

Caddell ’s temporary contract is effective immediately and is active through June of next year. His duties will include school support for buildings and principals,

including princimany differpal evaluations. He ent educational will also be responexperiences, sible for curriculum, is a person of instruction adopintegrity and tions and materials knows and loves selections, state and Bremerton kids, local assessments, Lynn Caddell families, and school and student staff as much as safety, teaching and learn- I do,” Leavell wrote in an ing initiatives, profession- email. “His belief system al development for staff about education and students is one of equity and and parent outreach.

A few days after the opportunity for all, and meeting, Leavell stated this is in alignment with that he chose Caddell for my core beliefs as superseveral reasons, including intendent. Lynn has expehis dedication to working rience at the middle and high school levels, includin a variety of settings.

“He is trustworthy, ing alternative high school highly respected as an and “optional” school setadministrator, has had tings.”

‘Drive Sober’ results are in Results are in from the recent Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over DUI enforcement campaign conducted from Aug. 16 through Sept. 2.

In Kitsap County, preliminary numbers show that 47 motorists were stopped and arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI), and statewide, law enforcement officers arrested 1,420 drivers for DUI. During the same time period last year in Kitsap County, officers on routine and extra patrols

arrested 71 people for DUI. In Kitsap County, the Bainbridge Island, Bre me r ton , Por t Orchard, Poulsbo and Suquamish police departments, the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office and the Washington State Patrol participated in the extra DUI patrols, with the support of the Kitsap County Traffic Safety Task Force.

The extra patrols were funded by a grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission.

Patrols are important

during August, because it is one of the deadliest months on Washington’s roadways, including all causes of traffic fatalities.

These and all extra patrols are part of Target Zero—striving to end traffic deaths and serious injuries in Washington by 2030.

For more information, visit www.targetzero.com. Additional information on the Washington Traffic Safety Commission can be found on the website, www.wtsc.wa.gov.

While there are what Leavell calls “always qualified candidates” up for the challenge, the superintendent said more is needed.

“For what we need right now in Bremerton, and for what I consider a true fit rounding out a solid existing central office team, Lynn was the obvious choice,” he said.

Caddell’s goal as a principal and teacher at the Washington Youth Academy focused on working with at-risk youth “to improve their educational level and employment potential” states the school’s website.

Caddell said he is look-

ing forward to his new role and working with the superintendent he knows well.

“He honored me with a phone call,” said Caddell of learning of the position. Caddell said he and Leavell worked together years ago on figuring out how to offer options for students if traditional school wasn’t working.

“I’m excited to have an opportunity to bring those ideas I’ve implemented at the educational level and kinda move the whole district forward,” he said.

“Aaron has a passion for that.”

Throughout the year,

Caddell’s interim title will be evaluated, but Leavell said he has no doubt that Caddell will be around the district for awhile.

“I will be analyzing the effectiveness of the current administrative structure in our district throughout the school year, and there may be changes recommended to the school board about the current system,” said Leavell. “I am confident there will be a permanent spot for Lynn in some leadership capacity at the district level beyond this year. What that looks like at this moment (in) time, I couldn’t say.”

Local Pyrex museum to get its own TV show

By Seraine Page spage@soundpublishing.com

Walking into Amy Burnett’s Pyrex Museum is a flashback to some of the sturdiest, most appreciated dishware of all-time.

Burnett, owner of the museum, decided to capture those flashbacks from visitors on camera.

Over the course of the summer, Burnett filmed more than 2,000 visitors’ reactions to seeing the tiny museum, which is tucked into a corner of her art gallery.

In turn, the short videos will be showcased in a weekly six-month television series that begins on Oct. 3. The half-hour special, titled “Amy’s Pyrex People Reality Show” will air every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. on Comcast BKAT channel 12 and WAVE channel 3.

“I consider it an art project,” said Burnett.

“I’m not a filmmaker. I consider them art films.

This is my contribution to the community … when anyone comes in here, they are part of a performance piece.”

Of all the stories she’s heard from visitors, Burnett’s favorite so far has been of a woman who got excited over a Pyrex teapot. The woman said her grand-

mother loved the floral teapot so much that she requested that her ashes be put into it and buried once she passed away.

Burnett excitedly tells the story to visitors who come in oohing and ahhing over the pieces in the museum.

Another visitor emailed from Japan, telling Burnett ahead of time that she planned to make the museum a stop on her list when she would be in Seattle.

“In 22 years of business, I have never seen as many tourists as this year,” Burnett said. For Burnett, capturing the reactions has been priceless and a joyous experience for her. “As soon as they see the massive Pyrex (collection)…(it’s) literal shrills and they can’t believe it,” she said.

She’s had visitors of all ages, from the elderly to young students. On the second week of the show, Burnett said students from Crown Hill Elementary School — which brought more than 60 kids into a glass-filled museum — will be featured on the series.

“I told them they didn’t have to worry about breaking anything,” she said of the second grade students. Luckily, the museum has more than 1,000 pieces, all of which

Burnett accepts donations, and she usually receives them on a weekly basis. She’s had pieces come from as far as Israel, and visitors from as far away as Holland. And, according to Burnett, pink Pyrex pieces are the most difficult to find.

One of the most popular pieces is the 1960s “butterfly gold” pieces, which are decorated with tiny butterflies and flowers in a bold pattern.

“I get donated pieces almost every week coming in,” she said. “It’s just unbelievable.”

The Klahowya Eagles’ chance to have an early season record as good as the Seattle Seahawks was upset last week by the North Kitsap Vikings.

The Vikings defeated the Eagles 34-29 for their first win of the season and first conference game at North Kitsap Stadium.

The Eagles nearly pulled out the road win, scoring 20 unanswered points to close to within five points twice, 29-23 and 34-29, before North Kitsap’s defense held firm.

The difference between the Vikings’ win over the Eagles and the 58-0 loss to Bishop Blanchet the week before, may have been the week’s practice, said their head coach Jeff

Weible.

“Offensively, we mixed it up quite a bit,” Weible said. “We had a really good week of practice — changed some things up a bit.”

Eagles Coach Dan Ericson did not return calls to comment on the game. Klahowya plays Kingston at home at 5 p.m. Friday. Kingston is 2 and 1, which ties the Eagles’ record.

Art for the Cure event slated

By Seraine Page spage@soundpublishing.com

On Oct. 3, local artists plan to band together for a good cause. And this year, they’re hoping the turnout is huge.

Local artist and Art for the Cure creator Lisa Stirrett remembers the first year she tried the event. She didn’t have lights in her new studio location; she had to have her contractor rig lighting for the event. The flooring wasn’t quite set, and Stirrett was sure that high Seraine Page/Staff photo heels would dig in and Tina Bright hammers a piece of metal for jewelry. Bright will be one of many local artists leave their mark. But she featured at the Art for the Cure benefit on Oct. 3. wanted the event to happen anyway, and it did. It’s been going ever since, and Stirrett couldn’t be happier.

“We all cram in here pretty good,” she said, looking around her studio, now complete. “It takes the community. We need the community support.”

The third annual Art for the Cure will span three buildings — Lisa Stirrett Glass Art Studio, Oxford Suites and Reid Realty — to offer local artwork in raffles that benefit women’s health. Each raffle ticket will be $1, and visitors can enjoy wine, chocolates and shop at their leisure throughout the night. All proceeds benefit Harrison Medical Center Foundation’s Women’s Health Screening Fund, which helps women who cannot afford to get mammograms. The event will be from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the three locations.

“I’m looking forward to seeing how much money we can generate, said Susan Perkins, operations director for AMI, Women’s Diagnostic Center. Perkins is personally hoping the goal will raise about $3,000. Women in need of a mammogram who cannot afford one or have a lack of insurance may apply for a grant through the |Harrison Medical 3.5” x 2.5” Maximum Font Foundation, she said.

Perkins estimates that

Stirrett has a lot of visitors at her studio who are cancer patients and she said she’s amazed at the stories she hears from survivors and fighters. In one week alone, she had three families visit her studio who told her about health concerns and breast cancer. Stirrett herself has also had two health scares.

“We hear stories here,” she said. “We hear heartbreak here.”

But Stirrett and others plan to bring hope and awareness to the October event, which also happens to be Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“It’s the opportunity to connect to other women who are supporting other women. It’s important to all of us as moms and daughters,” said Tina Bright, a local custom jewelry artist. “There’s a connection to the community. Especially being supported by small businesses.”

Bright participated the past two years and said she enjoyed being involved in the event for a cause.

Bright, who handcrafts all her jewelry through Kristina Marie Designs, plans to bring her pieces to be raffled off in the event. She took a hiatus Size:working 30 ptshows, but from she said she is looking for-

ward to getting involved with showcasing her art again as well as helping the community. As a Salvation Army employee, she recognizes the need to help others in the area.

“It’s a great opportunity for all of us women to get together. Bring your husbands, too,” said Bright.

“We’re here cause we care about each other. We’re our neighbor’s keeper.”

Joan Wells, a Poulsbobased artist, said she is looking forward to being with other artists and showing her work.

“I’m always looking for places to go and show my work. Art walks are really good ways to that,” said Wells. “They’re easy and fun for everybody. When people have fun they’re more apt to donate.”

Wells said the art walk idea disappeared for a while, but then was brought on again by Stirrett. The idea behind the event is an important one to Wells, and she said it is part of the reason she is participating.

“When I was younger, we were taught that we weren’t as important as men … we needed to take care of them,” she said.

But now, Wells believes that equality is well overdue, especially in the realm of womens’ health services.

“Women need all the help they can get. I do believe women need a lot of help,” she said. “That’s why I think it is important to help support these kinds of events. I’m always happy to do that.”

Wells will offer specialized jewelry, including “ammo wear” which are bullet shells that Wells picks up from gun ranges to shape into earrings and pendants. The earrings are not dangerous, Wells said.

She also plans to bring her “everything bags” and some paintings for raffle prizes.

Several different types of mediums will be offered, showcasing the work of a variety of artists. Attendees can expect sculptures, stone work, recycled glass, leather cuffs, equine gifts and more. The event will be located at 9536 Silverdale Way. “I love the night of the event, the energy in the room,” said Stirrett. “It always feels good to do something for someone else.”

Living the good life aboard a boat in Bremerton

By Seraine Page spage@soundpublishing.com

There’s nothing wrong with being a little coastal.

At least that’s the way the live aboard tenants feel who reside within the Port of Bremerton’s marinas.

“I think it’s such a neat lifestyle,” says Kathy Garcia, Port of Bremerton marina operations manager. “Boaters are generally happy people.”

With almost 600 available slips between the Port Orchard and Bremerton marinas, Garcia has 44 who are regular, liveaboard tenants who prefer sea to land. Some of the port’s tenants, like Marvin Messer, have lived on a boat for a good chunk of their lives. Messer became a live-aboard tenant back in 1984.

“I realized I was working all week, mowing the lawn all weekend,” he says of living in a regular house prior to his boat. Taking care of a house and boat was more than he bargained for, so he ended up pairing down to just a sailboat, which ended up serving as a house as well.

“I realized I could not afford a boat and a house, so I chose the boat,” he says, as if it were as simple as selecting the day’s outfit.

Messer remembers a time when his was the only boat on the pier when he first started living in the Port Orchard marina. After his divorce, he recalled looking over Puget Sound from his Manchester home and longing to be on the water.

“I looked across the sound and saw boats and thought, ‘this is silly,’” he says. “I just rather work in the boat in the sunshine and on the water.”

Most days, Messer can be found toiling around his boat, fixing things here and there until sundown.

Messer took the equity from his home and put it into a sailing boat instead.

A South Seas 36, to be exact, made in Taiwan.

With views of the mountains and Bremerton shipyard, Messer thinks his spot has the best scenery.

The shipyard is also where he fell in love with boats, and is where he retired from just five years ago.

At age 17, he started as a marine electrician. The simple commute from the Port Orchard ferry to the

Bremerton dock made renting space in the marina seem like the reasonable thing to do, he says.

“I try to keep things as simple as possible,” he says. “I have everything I need.”

Taking a peek around Messer’s cabin, it does indeed seem as though the bachelor has just about anything he would need.

There’s the small stove to heat the boat in the winter. There’s a one-person kitchen in the left corner; a small dining table that will seat everyone for an impromptu family dinner, and a bed to sleep in.

Messer’s laptop even takes up residence in the sailing vessel, and he’s got cable television for entertainment. Instead of hosting a dinner party, Messer says he’ll take our friends sailing.

“I think it’s really sweet,” he says of boat life. “I think this is the nicest marina anywhere, certainly on Puget Sound.”

The tight space, although large enough for him, does not accommodate anything extra, like family treasures. Nailed to the side of his boat are dozens of framed photos of his children and their families. If it doesn’t have a purpose, it won’t be found on Messer’s boat.

“If I buy a pair of socks, I have to throw one away,” he says. “I’m not a collector. Literally, there’s a place for everything.”

Other boat owners agree, but there’s even a place on some vessels for a family pet.

“A lot of our live aboards have pets,” Garcia said. She and other staff members keep special treats in the marina offices for the fur babies, she said. Several treats are available because not all pets have the same diets.

Steve Abbott, a professional painter, has lived on the water for the last five years with his wife, Wyn.

Seraine Page/Staff photo

Steve Abbott lives aboard with his wife and their pug, Tuggy.

The Abbotts also have a pug named Tuggy who goes wherever Mr. Abbott goes.

“He adjusted really well,” Abbott says of his dog. “He stays by my side.”

With plenty of space to roam, Tuggy has options when it comes to where he will sleep. On one particularly bright afternoon, he found a splash of sunlight streaming through the boat’s window and placed himself in the center of the golden stream. The slight lull of the boat is noticeable, but is never too much for the dog or his owners.

“We rock all the time,” Abbott says, but notes that it isn’t usually violent.

“We’ve never rocked to where we can’t sleep or walk,” hesays.

The couple paired down from a 3,500 square-foot house to fit their entire lives into their boat, outside white storage container and two five-by-five

storage units. The units hold things that Abbott just couldn’t let go of, like his guitars and remotecontrolled helicopters.

Abbott purchased his 40-ton boat from a man who had taken it around Alaska for two years, leaving it in a bit of a mess, he says.

“It was dirty,” Abbott says of his now-home. He and his wife remodeled it, adding a semi-large kitchen with a breakfast bar and a full-size refrigerator. One thing that Abbott

A&C SPORTS PUB

has learned to do is ensure his fridge is tightly secured when large waves hit the boat. One time, after an event, he had a large group of friends in the boat’s cabin. A large swell hit the boat, and all of the food came flying out of the fridge and onto the floor, he recalls. Now he always makes sure it is properly secured.

Normally, however, the boat doesn’t take on huge waves. The couple frequently travels to Blake Island, Bainbridge and, his favorite, Port Townsend.

Aside from not having a lawn to mow, the Abbotts enjoy their space because it is secure, beautiful and relaxing.

“It’s like a private, locked community here,” he says.

“We have a heck of a view.

We don’t plan on changing anything.”

Renter Bob Kuha doesn’t plan on changing his lifestyle, either, except that he will be making it a little more permanent. The real estate investor lives in the Bremerton marina on a boat he’s rented for two years. By February, he hopes to have his own boat, a birthday present to himself.

“I tell ya, everything I ever dreamt of came true,” Kuha says of living aboard.

“I can walk to Seattle; I can walk to the airport.”

And by walk, Kuha means he can hop aboard another ferry and easily access another mode of transportation without ever having to get into his

car. He estimates that he travels in his car 25 miles each week for work, if that.

His girlfriend lives just up the dock in the Bremerton condos that overlook the marina.

Kuha speaks with passion and a big smile when he considers his surroundings in the marina.

“This is beautiful,” he gestures with his hands, pointing to the Manette bridge that is just partially blocked by the retired naval ship, USS Turner Joy. “It’s like Hollywood at night,” he says of the lights that illuminate the marina.

The scenery isn’t the only thing he loves about his slip spot. In the winter time, Kuha watches otters climb onto the marina walkways to take off running for a big slide into the water. More recently he watched two of his frequent seagull visitors — he named them Billy Bob and Jim Bob — perform a tricky move. One stepped right up onto the other’s back. He told the pair to stay on the dock like that while he grabbed his camera. Kuha motions to his cell phone to show proof of the incident.

Although the marina wildlife keeps Kuha entertained, he said the calm of the water is what keeps him right where he is.

“It’s peaceful,” says Kuha. “I’m gonna live on the marina the rest of my life. Life is good on the marina.”

In late summer, while our lawns are dormant and the growing season is waning, it’s time to sit down and take some garden notes to prepare for next spring.

Are there any changes you would like to make to the yard? Did you want to add a nice structure to the back yard?

Are there some large plants that require lots of pruning and you need to move them?

These are a few questions I like asking when helping others plan their gardens.

How much sun or shade do you get? How is the soil quality? Does it stay wet, or does it dry out?

Choose shade loving plants for shady areas, sun-loving plants for sunny areas, and drought resistant varieties for dry conditions. Do not move any plants at this time. I like to transplant and move plants in the spring.

Plants are in active growth in spring; energy is stored in the roots.

As I mentioned in my last column, summer is a good time for pruning. I notice people cutting plants into all sorts

of interesting shapes. Please do not top your plants. There’s a way to prune – please refer to my previous columns for details.

And now, on to fall.

Fall, is a time to enjoy the bounties of our grow season.

Trees are showing there fall color. Take notes. Is there some color you would like to add in your own yard? This time of the year I like to finish up on some pruning of trees and shrubs. The key in pruning at this time of the year is to prune before the leaves drop. I like pruning Japanese maples and most fruit trees at this time. Never top your trees. Consider how the plant grows and prune for its natural growth. If you have trees that

The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is an exciting program for people 55 and above to connect with meaningful volunteer opportunities in their communities, retiring to something not just from something.

The RSVP program was

created by congress in 1971 to engage people 55 and older.

RSVP recruits and places volunteers in positions with organizations where they can pursue their passion, impart knowledge and build community support.

The program is sponsored

were pruned wrong, or need some rejuvenating, only prune a third now and then a third next season and so on.

Preparing your lawn for the winter is very important. Take some steps such as aerating first. Do a light thatch and most important top dress with some nice compost. The soil is alive with microbes. The microbes work side by side with the plants roots. Thus, keeping your plant healthy and better withstanding disease and insect infestations. Your brown lawn will soon come out of dormancy so when the rains come back you can cut down on your watering.

Tips for the lawn: Northwest lawns go dormant in the summer; it is a good idea to water an inch a week. When fall arrives we need to start the renovation process (over-seeding and topdressing). I will discuss this later. For now, mechanical weeding is important.

Enjoy the sun. Fall and winter will be here before you know it.

Volunteers provide support to organizations that can’t meet the goals of their programs without volunteers to help them. The benefit for the volunteer is improved social ties, daily activity and improved physical and mental health. RSVP is undergoing several changes this year.

To stay in compliance with the new guidelines from the Corporation for National Service, RSVP is streamlining its volunteer opportunities to fewer sites with higher impacts. The organization will focus on food banks, veterans and military families, gift shops that support the food banks and the hospital, Meals on Wheels, senior services, and Habitat for Humanity to name a few. The goal is to keep as many sites as possible.

Fire destroys Illahee home

By KEVAN MOORE kmoore@soundpublishing.com

A two-story home in the 5400 block of Illahee Road was destroyed by a fire early Tuesday morning.

A Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue firefighter suffered a second degree burn on his neck while fighting the blaze, but there were no other injuries.

Ileana LiMarzi, a CKFR spokesperson, said that the owners were in the process of moving out and were

not home. She also noted that the house was fairly empty when the blaze occurred.

“Crews extinguished the fire in approximately 15 minutes and the County Fire Marshal was called to the scene to investigate,” LiMarzi said. “The Fire Marshal determined the fire was most likely electrical and is not considered suspicious. The second story of the home was destroyed by fire and there is smoke and water dam-

age throughout the structure.”

The fire was first reported at about 5:45 a.m.

Tuesday. Initial reports indicated the fire was closer to the Brownsville Marina.

“As crews were en route, Engine 45 from our station on Trenton Avenue located the fire on Illahee,” LiMarzi said. “Smoke and flames could be seen coming from the roof and the fire was immediately upgraded to a second alarm.”

A woman with five different aliases and ties to a stolen vehicle case was arrested on Sept. 22 and booked into the Kitsap County Jail.

The transient woman was walking down the street and panicked upon seeing an officer drive past her.

According to a Bremerton Police Department incident/ investigation report, the suspect “took off running, flailing her hands in the air as if panicked.”

After losing sight of her, other units arrived in the area after discovering the woman had a warrant for her arrest.

Upon searching the area, a home owner indicated the woman might be under her home.

Items the woman was wearing and carrying earlier were hidden just inside the entrance of the crawl space beneath the house.

An officer identified himself to the woman and told her to come out.

“I crawled on my hands and knees all the way to the back of the house where I located some pink shoes buried under some insulation and black plastic,” states the report.

The officer drew his weapon and told the woman she was under arrest.

The female crawled out from under the house and was arrested and informed of her rights and warrants.

The female started crying and stated she “was born a drug user,” states the report. Items removed from the purse included a glass tube with a “black and white substance inside it.”

The officer recognized it as a methamphetamine pipe, and testing upon arrival at the central office confirmed the substance.

The female was booked for “taking a motor vehicle

without permission in the second degree…obstructing a law enforcement officer and possession of methamphetamine,” stated the report.

Man throws vacuum at his mother who called him “lazy” An 18-year-old man was arrested for assault after he threw a vacuum at his mother.

On Sept. 20, police went to a Silverdale residence after a caller reported that the man had thrown the vacuum cleaner at her relative. Two deputies arrived on scene to gather information about the event.

The victim was helped into a chair by relatives after stating she felt dizzy after being assaulted.

The woman told officers she asked her son to do housework and that he was being “lazy,” states a Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office incident/investigation report.

The female walked away from her son down to “the lower level of the three story house. There were approximately seven steps down from the foyer area. When she got to one of the lower steps she was suddenly hit on the backside by a carpet cleaner,” states the report.

The victim told officers she felt dizzy and had “pain on the entire left side of her body,” the report states.

The officer noted a few abrasions and a small, bleeding cut, but did not notice much more.

The officer was told by

the victim that she suffers from MS and lupus, making the hit much more difficult for her.

Upon interviewing the man, he stated that, “he has been trying to deal with an anger problem.”

When asked if he meant to hurt his mother or just did it out of anger, the man responded he “threw it out of anger,” states the report.

His bail is set at $5,000.

Silverdale man pulled over for driving without a plate; leads to methamphetamine On Sept. 23, the driver of a blue Chevrolet Blazer was pulled over for driving without a rear license plate.

Upon investigation, the officer discovered the driver could only provide a Washington State ID card.

The 38-year-old male’s driving status had been revoked on March 22, 2009, according to the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s report.

The man was placed under arrest and a search turned up a small Ziploc baggie with a “crystallike substance in it” and a “glass pipe wrapped up in a red bandana,” states the report.

The officer recognized the substance and pipe as a device used to smoke methamphetamine.

The driver was read his Miranda Rights and booked for possession of methamphetamine and driving with a suspended license, first degree.

His bail is set at $30,000.

USS John C. Stennis sailors adopt local highway

Johnson, from Miami. “It was a good feeling to be able to unite sailors of different pay grades and do something for a good cause.”

Logistics Specialist 3rd Class Alejandro Rodriguezmatos, the CSADD event coordinator, said the COMREL allowed sailors to give back to the local community and to help spread the word about the CSADD program.

“We felt that we needed to do something positive,” said Rodriguezmatos, who is from Las Vegas. “I heard about a stretch of highway that Stennis owns and that it had not been cleaned up in a while, so I thought it was a good idea for us to come out here and pick up trash.”

Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Equipment) 2nd Class Brad Hill, from San Diego, says that it’s important that the command supports the CSADD program because it’s a good way for sailors to 597761

Sailors assigned to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) volunteered their time on Sept. 18 to clean up a local highway as part of the Adopt-A-Highway program.

Members of Stennis’s Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions (CSADD) donned their CSADD t-shirts to improve the cleanliness of a highway during a community relations (COMREL) project.

The 18 sailors collected more than 25 bags of garbage.

“I enjoyed the camaraderie during the COMREL,” said Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Fuel) Airman Johnte

be a part of a team and get involved with the community.

CSADD continues to spread the word about the program by putting up visual information for the Stennis crew and hoping in the future to display information booths on base.

Vice chief of naval operations, Adm. Mark Ferguson, commissioned the Navywide CSADD program three years ago to promote better decision making and encourage networking among junior sailors around the fleet.

Stennis is currently undergoing a Docking Planned Incremental Availability (DPIA) maintenance period at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility.

LIBRARY CONTINUED FROM A1

work for a new library needed to come from a citizen committee.

While the district supports a new library in Silverdale, part of the funding for it will have to come from donations to a capital campaign, said Jeff Brody, community relations director for KRL. The committee working now hopes to host community informational meetings in November and December, McKenzie said.

“We’re just at the beginning stages,” she said. “Right now we’re gathering information and studying what’s been done by the community council, the Friends of the Library and by the people who worked on the feasibility study.”

Meeting are planned to include a discussion of size, location and funding of the library.

A new library in Silverdale would need to be about 10,000 squarefeet, according to Brody, to serve the 50,000 residents in Central Kitsap.

“It’s justified, if the citizens want to step up and make it happen,” he said.

With a library of that size, if it were to be built at the current Old Town Silverdale site, it would have to be mul-

“We’re sending a very powerful message,” Brody said. “We want a new library in Silverdale. But it’s got to be the community that wants it. It’s got to be the community that’s willing to fundraise for it and willing to see it happen.”

– Jeff Brody tiple f loors, he said. And that’s not the most economic way to do things.

“In the long run, multiple stories need more staffing and are just more expensive to operate,” he said.

Hence, he said, other sites are being looked at.

One is the county community campus where the Kitsap YMCA is located, along with the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s office substation and the community center that houses the C-Stock theater.

“Originally, that’s where the library was planned to go,” he said.

“But when the Y was built at its current size, it required more parking which created issues with using that location.”

To have the space needed at that location, the current C-Stock building would most likely have to be torn down and that’s a decision that the county

The Silverdale Library is in need of more space and a committee is working to see if there is enough community support for a larger library to undertake a fundraising campaign. Locations are also being discussed. would have to make, he said.

Another option is a property switch with the Port of Silverdale.

“The port owns property in Old Town and we’ve discussed doing a trade which might create the space we need,” he said. “There might be a way to work something out that would be free or provide low cost land there.”

Another location that was considered was the new CenterCal develop-

tant step to take moving forward to try to really begin to turn the tide on this particular topic.”

Gelder also said he will remain committed to making sure that the new funds are spent wisely.

“This is not just about raising dollars for feelgood programs in our community, but is really about making strategic investments so that we can demonstrate how that investment pays off in the long run for the better health of our community,” he said.

Commissioner Charlotte Garrido spoke in favor of the new tax and also thanked those who shared personal stories about struggles with mental health.

“Probably everyone in this room and who is watching (on television)

has had some sort of direct or indirect experience with somebody who was in need of the programs that we’re able to fund with this new action,” she said.

So far, 20 counties have implemented such a sales tax and all of them, with the exception of Spokane County, which put it out to a vote of the citizenry, were put into place by county boards.

“So, we have a lot of information from those other counties that have

enacted it about exactly how they have spent that money and what’s happening in those programs,” Garrido said.

Commissioner Josh Brown made it clear why he voted for the new tax.

“This ordinance will help make our community safer,” he said. “It will help save taxpayer dollars so we can dedicate those resources to more important things. It will help people and I’m convinced it’s the right thing to do.”

ment planned for Greaves Way and Highway 3, but there wasn’t enough property available.

“It ended up that much of that area is wetlands, and with the mitigation that needed to be done, there wasn’t room for us,” Brody said.

“But the company was very sincere in their desire to be a part of the community and offer up space.”

Current best estimates are that a 10,000 squarefoot library and the Harrison Medica l Center President and CEO Scott Bosch is one of several community leaders who were pleased by the commissioners’ decision to adopt the new ordinance.

“I applaud the commissioners’ courage to take this on,” Bosch said.

“The funds will be used to develop programs and access to mental health services that are so desperately needed.”

A citizen advisory committee will now vet programs to be funded with the new tax dollars.

The committee will make funding recommendations based on a “behavioral health assessment need” being developed by a separate 17-member member committee made up of folks from law enforcement, the courts, mental health experts and others.

The following people were appointed to the

needed 35 to 40 parking spaces would run $5 million.

That figure includes design, site work, construction, interior furnishings and technology — “everything but books,” said Brody.

Once com mu n ity meetings are held and there is a sense of whether the community wants a new library and is willing to fundraise to get one, the matter will go back to the board of trustees of the Kitsap

Regional Libraries.

Brody said the most important factor is that the community run the show - that everything is driven by those who live in the area.

“We’re sending a very powerf u l message,” Brody said. “We want a new library in Silverdale.

But it’s got to be the community that wants it. It’s got to be the community that’s willing to fundraise for it and willing to see it happen.”

“What it boils down to is everyone’s lives have been touched in some way, shape or form by mental health or mental illness. It may not be ourselves personally. It may be a family member, a friend and acquaintance or somebody down the road from us. But our lives are touched. Our community is touched by this issue and I think this is a really important step to take moving forward to try to really begin to turn the tide on this particular topic.”

Illahee Creek restoration part of grant program

By KEVAN MOORE

kmoore@soundpublishing.com

Irwin and Judith Krigsman have one heck of a backyard.

The majority of the couple’s 15-acre property is made up of a ravine that is bisected by Illahee Creek just before it makes its way into Puget Sound. “It’s like walking into a different world,� Judith said. “You come up here and it’s beautiful. You just don’t find this in an urban area.�

Following some work last week, which was funded through the Kitsap Conservation District Backyard Habitat Grant Program, the Krigsmans’ backyard will eventually be even more inviting for salmon and other wildlife.

Six large Douglas fir logs with root wads still attached were installed at angles in and along the creek. The installation of the logs will affect storm water velocity, provide habitat pools for salmon, reduce scouring and erosion and, officials hope, will serve as a demonstration project for how local stream and fish habitat may be positively affected by the installation of large woody debris.

The work that was done in the Krigmans’ backyard coincides with five other projects sponsored by the local conservation district’s Backyard Habitat Grant Program this year, including two projects in Dogfish Creek, one in

“We get a lot done without a lot of money. I think a lot of that has to do with people’s good intentions.� – Carin Anderson Strawberry Creek and one in Chico Creek.

Carin Anderson has been with the Kitsap Conservation District for four years and administers all of the backyard grants, each of which comes in at $10,000 or less. “We get a lot done without a lot of money,�

Anderson said. “I think a lot of that has to do with people’s good intentions.�

Anderson noted that property owners, like the Krigsmans, are responsible for hiring contractors and, in some cases, designers for each of the projects.

Many times, materials like woody debris and the use of heavy equipment is donated. “Everyone does what they can to keep costs down,� Anderson said. “We’re able to keep projects local and tend to get a better price.�

While a 100-foot stretch of Illahee Creek was being diverted in order to install the logs last Tuesday, two small fish — it was difficult to know for sure what type of salmon they were at first blush — were recovered from the water. “I mean, seeing fish

in this stream today just builds up your excitement that with a little help all things are possible,� said Judith. “It’s always good to see a lot of excitement and to see some action when it comes to creek restoration.�

Shawn Higgins, a geomorphologist with Natural Systems Design in Seattle, who worked with his boss Dr. Tim Abbe on designing the restoration project, was on site for the installation last week. Also on hand was Scott Dutro, of Maple Ridge Excavating in Duvall, who operated the equipment to put the logs precisely where he and Higgins wanted them to go. “I view this as a demonstration project to utilize resources with grant money and show how large woody debris can be utilized to restore channel complexity,� Higgins said. “We want to work with the Krigsmans and other stakeholders in the watershed to get the resources to do a bigger project locally.�

And chances are good that more projects will be needed. After years of sediment buildup, the culvert running underneath Illahee Road at the edge of the Krigsmans’ property is poised to force the roadway to fail. Restoration work on Illahee Creek and elsewhere, officials say, can help avoid such calamities.

100 YEARS

EARLY DAYS BREMERTON WATERFRONT

the

Port of Bremerton’s Centennial. Page 11-18 The Port of Bremerton had humble beginnings.

As the story has been passed down through generations, it is said that the city of Bremerton had inadvertently built portions of its wharf, an important commercial and transportation hub, over privately-owned tidelands. The property owner’s threatened lawsuit prompted a signature-gathering campaign by citizens to put the formation of a port district within the city of Bremerton’s boundaries on the ballot in the hopes of resolving the dispute.

Many changes within the Port District have transpired these 100 years and the Port is looking forward to recounting and celebrating its history with the public.

what’s up

this week

20th annual Kitsap Color Classic rolls into town on Sept. 29

BY RICHARD D. OXLEY Kitsap Week

T

hey’re back in the saddle again, and gearing up for Kitsap.

Every September, hundreds of two-wheeled enthusiasts descend upon Kingston to embark upon one of the last organized rides of the cycling season.

The 20th annual Kitsap Color Classic is Sept. 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“It’s beautiful scenery, a beautiful place to ride,” said Dave Douglas, an event producer with the Cascade Bicycle Club.

“The leaves are starting to change and a lot of the rides go along the waterways.”

Riders start in Kingston, though many arrive from across the Puget Sound on the Edmonds ferry.

“We come over on three different ferries,” Douglas said. “A majority, about 80 percent, of people come over on the ferry.”

Riders are expected to ride onto the 8:50 a.m., 9:40 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. sailings from Edmonds. From there, cyclists have three options: a 25-mile northern ride through Hansville, a 39-mile ride looping through Port Gamble and Poulsbo, or combining both to cover 57 miles across the region.

Real Estate • Employment Merchandise • Auto and More Pages 3-10, 19-20 “Some people do both loops,” Douglas said. “It’s a fun, recreational ride.”

The rides have proven to popular each year, though certain factors play into how many bikes hit the road.

100 Years o f

a c h i e v e m e n t

EARLY DAYS BREMERTON WATERFRONT

The Port of Bremerton had humble beginnings.

As the story has been passed down through generations, it is said that the city of Bremerton had inadvertently built portions of its wharf, an important commercial and transportation hub, over privately-owned tidelands. The property owner’s threatened lawsuit prompted a signature-gathering campaign by citizens to put the formation of a port district within the city of Bremerton’s boundaries on the ballot in the hopes of resolving the dispute.

Many changes within the Port District have transpired these 100 years and the Port is looking forward to recounting and celebrating its history with the public.

Port of Bremerton Centennial Celebration

SEPTEMBER 27, 2013

Centennial message from Commissioner Larry Stokes On behalf occasion of the of my fellow Port’s Centennial Commissioners Anniversary.

Roger Zabinski It has been my and Axel sincere pleasure Strakeljahn, I to have served on take personal the Port board of pleasure in commissioners expressing our for three terms congratulations of office — a to the Port of total of over 17 Bremerton, its years. So I feel staff, both past particularly well Larry Stokes - Board President and present, and qualified to comto all the port ment on the Port’s accomplishconstituents on this special ments over the recent past …

close to 20 percent of the Port’s existence.

in downtown Bremerton as you will read herein.

My extended tenure as a port commissioner gives me a distinct advantage on commenting on the progress the Port has made. Back when I was first port commissioner, we spent much time and energy negotiating with the Bremer Trust for control of the Bremerton Waterfront for future development.

Also back then we first designed the Port Orchard Marina Park which now I am pleased to say has just completed a new extension for the pleasure of all of you who have visited.

That effort connected the Port right back to its beginning

I have noted over the years as a port commissioner and as a taxpayer, different priorities of the board of commissioners as they have evolved over the years.

Each commissioner working with his or her board over the years has made considerable progress in moving the Port further along towards success in building the economy and providing a better place to live here in the Port district; and it’s been my honor and pleasure to serve with each commission I have been associated with.

Let me be the first to extend my best wishes to the Port of Bremerton for continued success well into the next 100 years!

District 1 District 3

District 2

The Port of Bremerton, established in 1913 is the 4th oldest port district in Washington state and is the largest of 12 port districts in Kitsap County.

As a vehicle for better industrial and economic growth in Kitsap County… voters in 1956 elected to expand the Port’s boundaries to its current size. Also on the ballot, but not approved, was a name change to “Port of South Kitsap County-Bremerton”. Ports are special governmental units with authority and responsibility for economic development within their boundaries.

Centennial message from Port CEO Tim Thomson It is indeed a very special privilege to be the Port Chief Executive Officer during the Port’s centennial anniversary.

I can only imagine, and wish I could personally thank, all the hundreds of port employees who have toiled over the last 100 years in their effort to bring to the Port of Bremerton the success it has achieved.

The Port’s centennial tag line lists Air, Marine, Industrial and Community.

These are our principle business enterprises. What we do at the Port benefits all constituents, whether they are one of the 1,000 employees of private busi-

nesses in Olympic View Business and Industrial Park, hangar an aircraft at Bremerton National Airport, moor a boat or stroll on the breakwater at Port Orchard or Bremerton Marinas or experience the great quality of life here in our

district by enjoying a community event that we sponsor.

You are invited to read the associated stories contained herein to learn and appreciate how the Port has evolved over the last 100 years in meeting its mission to plan, develop, maintain, manage and promote industrial, maritime and aviation facilities for the purpose of inducing private capital investment that creates economic development and jobs.

“Taking Care of Business” is the Port of Bremerton’s motto and we live by it every day.

Port’s economic role important to Kitsap County The Port of Bremerton is an important player in what makes Kitsap County work. The Port, which includes the Bremerton National Airport, the Bremerton and Port Orchard marinas and the Olympic View Business and Industrial Park, is key to bringing and keeping boaters, pilots, employers and tourists to the county.

“Ports play a unique role in the economic vitality of any community and the Port of Bremerton is no exception,” said Robert Gelder, Kitsap County Commissioner. “The Port of Bremerton has made an important contribution to the growth and economic diversity of Kitsap County through a variety of assets – marinas, industrial park and the airport.”

“I see the future of the Port to be full of tremendous potential. Whether it’s supporting regional recreation opportunities, industrial and manufacturing businesses or expanded regional commerce through the airport operations, and avenues yet to be developed; the Port of Bremerton is well positioned to excel in its mission and mandate for Kitsap County.”

“The Port of Bremerton has a long history — 100 years, in fact — ­ of promoting economic development in Kitsap County,” Kitsap County and the Port of Bremerton worked together to form the South Kitsap Industrial Area, creating one of the largest areas of industrial/business park land in the Central Puget Sound region.

The Port of Bremerton and the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance (KEDA), which supports business retention and expansion and Kitsap as a business-friendly county, are looking to the future.

The Kitsap Aerospace & Defense Alliance (KADA) initiative demonstrates that the Port of Bremerton is positioned to continue promoting economic development in Kitsap County and to enhance Kitsap’s regional visibility and employment base.

In my 35 years as a Kitsap resident, I’ve seen tremendous changes as the Port encourages innovative business opportunities for our community and I look forward to the Port’s future.”

Charlotte Garrido, County Commissioner

“For a century the Port of Bremerton has played an integral role in building our regional economy, The Port has partnered with the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance to attract investment and jobs to our community.

Most recently this partnership spawned the Kitsap Aerospace & Defense Alliance (KADA) to position Kitsap for the rapid expansion of our regional aerospace industry. Our strategic partnership will continue to strengthen our local and regional economy for generations to come.”

John Powers, Executive Director, Kitsap Economic Development Alliance.

A “Field of Dreams” The first official airmail flight from Kitsap County Airport (now Bremerton National) occurred May 19, 1938 commemorating National Air Mail Week. The advent of air transportation connecting Kitsap’s communities to the outside region through freight, mail, military and passenger services expanded the economic importance of Kitsap County Airport over the years.

A Giant Stirs Among the Firs...

In April 1963 Kitsap County deeded 1,200 acres of land that included Kitsap County Airport to the Port of Bremerton. Soon after, pressure from private and naval air freight services as well as air taxi services prompted the Port Commission to aggressively pursue runway and infrastructure expansion to this “small and quiet” airport.

ing and grading a new terminal site, an expanded and lighted runway, and filling an area for a 40-acre industrial site to accommodate business and general aviation. The foresight and aggressive improvement programs over the years have resulted in an airport the West Sound region can be proud of.

The years 1966 through 1974 saw dramatic changes to the landscape. Projects included clear-

Flight-related businesses during that time - to name a few - included Crowthers Flight Center

and Bremerton Air Taxi Service, National Air Taxi, Pegasus Air, Topp Flight Aviation, San Juan Airlines, Alpha Aviation, and Coastal Airways.

Today freight services such as UPS and FedEx operate out of Port of Bremerton’s airport and industrial facilities and Bremerton National is home base to Avian Flight Center, Avian Aeronautics, Peninsula Helicopter, charter business jets and numerous private aircraft.

WE SALUTE THE PORT OF BREMERTON FOR 100 YEARS OF SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY The Kitsap Economic Development Alliance, and The Kitsap Aerospace & Defense Alliance are grateful for the Port’s support, and pleased to be strategic partners in promoting economic development opportunities in Kitsap.

Together, The Port of Bremerton, The Kitsap Economic Development Alliance, and the Kitsap Aerospace & Defense Alliance are making a difference in developing our economy and attracting investment and jobs to Kitsap County.

Here’s to the Port’s next 100 years, may it continue to make our community a great place to live, work & recreate.

Olympic View Business and Industrial Park opened in 1974 Using its financial resources and a grant from the Economic Development Administration the Port successfully constructed the first phase of utility and road infrastructure to welcome the first tenant, Imperial Manufacturing Company. In the ensuing 39 years, the Port invested grant and taxpayer resources in its mission to develop business and manufacturing sites.

Today Olympic View Business and Industrial Park is home to 30 businesses that provide approximately 1,000 jobs, bringing an economic value of $200 million to the local economy.

Unlike private developers requiring an immediate return on investment, Port districts as “public enterprise” agencies have access to funding that provides for restoration and development of lands degraded by historical practices into valuable industrial and recreational real estate.

In the mid-1950’s Kitsap County Airport was home to the SCCA Seafair Nationals

Thousands of spectators watched hundreds of participants in the largest sports car racing event ever held in Kitsap County.

SCCA Seafair Nationals July 31, 1955

For nearly 55 years since, the inactive runway at Bremerton National Airport has been the home of Bremerton Raceway and Bremerton Motorsports Park where numerous organizations have held events such as drag races, auto-cross and moto-cross, road racing and law enforcement driver training. Nearly every summer weekend hundreds of participants and spectators visit Kitsap County to “go to the races” bringing an important recreational and economic value to the Kitsap County region.

In 1962 the Port’s Comprehensive Scheme of Harbor Improvements included a proposed project to fill “necessary or desirable” area in Gorst with fill material dredged from the bottom of Sinclair Inlet that would result in about 140-165 acres of upland for a pier and warehouse space and included a sufficiently dredged ship channel to provide access for ocean going vessels. The slow economy of the day and talks of bridging Sinclair Inlet precluded this ambitious project. In 2004 the Port partnered with

public agencies and private property owners to restore the Sinclair Inlet estuary in Gorst. Today, public access to this restored estuary allows for a close-up understanding of the rich ecosystem of our waterways and the importance of environmental stewardship.

GORST 1985

“The Port of Bremerton is at the center of the largest undeveloped industrially-zoned site in the central Puget Sound. As we work to diversify our economy with private-sector businesses, the Port of Bremerton is an essential partner to attract family wage jobs in Kitsap County.”

Port Orchard Marina opened in 1974 Port Orchard Marina TODAY

“I think it’s really sweet,” he says of boat life. “I think this is the nicest marina anywhere, certainly on Puget Sound.”

Marvin Messor Tenant, Port Orchard Marina

Port Orchard Marina in 1974

With support from citizens, businesses, the City and State, the Port of Bremerton opened the Port Orchard Marina in 1974.

Legislative action in 1965 provided port districts the power to develop recreational facilities and public access to the shoreline.

Studies have shown the economic impact marinas and tourism brings to a local community generally amounts to over $1 million a year. Since then many waterfront areas throughout the region have been altered to include recreational marinas and upland parks.

The Port Orchard Marina quickly became such a popular boating destination that it was expanded in 1986.

After a devastating winter storm in 1996 destroyed portions of the marina, a new and improved facility emerged in 1998 that accommodates larger, wider vessels.

The Port Orchard Marina Park is popular with local citizens and tourists alike and the recreational value to the community is incalculable.

Thank You, Port of Bremerton!

Kitsap Transit extends congratulations and a thank you to the Port for 100 years of dedicated service. We look forward to working with you for many more years to come!

Here’s to the next 100 years!

Carlisle II, 1917

Kitsap Transit has been connecting communities across our beautiful peninsula for 30 years now. For many of those years we’ve worked in partnership with the Port of Bremerton to serve Kitsap County’s waterfront communities.

“It is always a pleasure to work with Port Commissioners Larry Stokes, Axel Strakeljahn, and Roger Zabinski, as well as their staff, this dedicated team is always willing to work with the city of Port Orchard to improve and energize the downtown core.

Cooperation between the Port and the city is at an all-time high.

The Port was instrumental in key projects like the Water Street Boat Launch renovation and the Bay Street Pedestrian Pathway.

In addition to joint projects, the Port’s staff works with the city in many community events that happen downtown. They always display professionalism towards the public and ensure they are enjoying their visit to Port Orchard.

The city plans to continue to support the port in this endeavor and looks forward to the next 100 years of our partnership.”

In 1992 Port of Bremerton was awarded Port of the Year by the Washington Public Ports Association.

BREMERTON WATERFRONT 1984

BREMERTON WATERFRONT 1992 BREMERTON WATERFRONT TODAY This award recognized the Port for its leadership and perseverance to motivate and induce change to the City of Bremerton’s downtown waterfront. After a difficult 2-year negotiation, in 1986 the Port gained control of tidelands between First and Burwell Streets.

BREMERTON MARINA 2008 “This is beautiful,” he gestures with his hands, pointing to the Manette bridge that is just partially blocked by the retired naval ship, USS Turner Joy. “It’s like Hollywood at night,” he says of the lights that illuminate the marina.

Bob Kuha Tenant, Bremerton Marina

In the ensuing years the Port forged partnerships with the City, State Departments of Transportation and Natural Resources, Bremerton Historic Ships Association, Bremer Trust, and Horluck Transportation (Now Kitsap Transit) that by 1992, resulted in an $11.4 million development which included the overwater boardwalk, passenger ferry facility, small boat harbor and moorage for the USS Turner Joy. Today, 20 years later, the outcome of the Port’s early initiative is now a Gateway to the City of Bremerton with the recently completed Bremerton Marina.

“The city and the Port are connected “by the hip” as they own and manage a 300 slip marina, a 1,090-acre regional airport with a 6,000foot runway and a 596-acre industrial park. The past has created our joint foundation, the present is allowing both Port and city to receive revenue that will return vitality back to our city limits of 30 square miles and the future is bright with goals of 9,000 to 20,000 possible family wage jobs.

Together we plan to make our Port of Bremerton and SKIA a thriving hub for aerospace and defense manufacturing through companies that assemble materials and/or are some of the more than 800 suppliers already in the state in the aerospace industry,” Patty Lent, Mayor of Bremerton

KRL kicks off unique One Book campaign

By Seraine Page Kitsap Week

E

very October, the Kitsap Regional Library Committee selects one book and invites all of the county to connect by reading it, together.

This year, the book chosen is “The Leisure Seeker,” which follows couple Ella and John on one last road trip in their lives.

For a new program related to the book giveaway, “One Book, One Community” copies were released into Kitsap County in a variety of places that most people wouldn’t expect, Jeannie Allen, KRL’s marketing manager said.

Each book is labeled with a “Read and Release” sticker, asking the reader to pick up the book, read it and pass it on.

“We had a lot of fun hiding the books all over the place,” Allen said.

“Imagining how people would find them is kinda fun.”

Allen and about five staff members went out for a day to distribute the books in the community. The books were hung from trees, placed on benches, handed out and — Allen’s favorite — tossed into a fountain.

The marketing manager stuffed 25 books into large balloons with battery-powered tea light “candles” and placed them into the Bremerton Harborside Fountain at dusk.

“There’s something magical about the whole ‘pass it on, pay it forward’ movement,” she said.

For those picking up a

copy of the book, inside is a label asking the reader to enter a tracking number on www.bookcrossing. com. The reader then has the opportunity to see where their book has gone, and see what the previous reader thought of it.

One book has already made it through four stops since the release party in July, Allen said. The library staff is hoping people will pick up the 288-page book prior to all the bookrelated events starting Oct. 1.

To further build excitement, the library will also provide a variety of programs appropriate for different ages to encourage book “conversations.” Some of the events include scrapbooking to preserve family photos, and author appearances throughout the month of October.

The events are a way to stimulate communication, as a community, about the book, Allen said.

Michael Zadoorian, the author of “The Leisure Seeker,” will be at the Fall at the Mall event on Oct. 19. The event will be a conversation between Zadoorian and Terry Tazioli, a journalist and host of the television show “Well Read.”

The author will also make an appearance at the Kitsap Regional Library Foundation’s signature Author! Author! event, hosted by best-selling Seattle7Writers author Jennie Shortridge, and will lead a book discussion at McCormick Woods with Susan Brown Trinidad, according to the KRL website.

Copies of “The Leisure Seekers” were left laying, or hanging, around frequented areas throughout Kitsap. Once readers are finished with the book, they are encouraged to pass it on.

Cover Story

Kitsap Regional Library

Some readers, like Colleen Branaman, got overexcited about the book and its related events.

While some readers have placed their books on benches and other obvious locations, Branaman got a little bit more creative with how she chose to pass her book along to the next reader in the community.

Branaman, a KRL library assistant, swam out to a floating dock in Manzanita Bay. To draw attention to what she was doing, she placed the book in airtight, waterproof bags, placed it on a float, and tied balloons to it so it could float as she swam.

“There’s just a lot of activity at the dock. I thought, ‘Hey, this is a gathering place,’ ” she said of choosing her location.

She has been tracking the book online, but said she is disappointed that no one has entered into the log that they read it to indicate

BEST FASHIONS WE HAVE T H E

Boutique Consignment

where the book has gone.

The library assistant said she enjoyed every minute of the book, and believes that many in the community can relate to its topics. As someone with a gerontology degree, she found it extremely enlightening.

“I thought it was hilarious while dealing with difficult issues that a lot of people are having a hard time,” she said. “I think it is incredibly realistic and I was really impressed how well he was able to make the book light-hearted.”

Although her experi-

ence in passing off the book was a little extreme, she hopes locals will reach out and get the book because it is in easy-toreach locations. Branaman admits she isn’t the most confident person, but somehow her confidence See ONe Book, Page 26

Rocky is a very handsome somewhat large 3 1/2 yr old brown tabby with white on his feet, chest & belly, and gorgeous green eyes. He will put his feet on either side of your face and give you hugs to say hello. Rocky came to us due to his confusion in using the new baby’s crib as a litterbox. We have not had any inappropriate urination issues with him since his arrival. Rocky will be hanging out at the Poulsbo Petco hoping to meet his new family this week.

Merlot is a player in Washington wine country Columbia Valley, $11: This easy-to-enjoy Merlot sends out aromas of dark cherries, plums, pomegranate, milk chocolate and vanilla, and there's some hedonism awaiting inside. Think of juicy black cherries supported by blackberry and blueberry, backed by ripe tannins and some chocolate undertones. There’s a bit

NW Wines

By ANDY PERDUE and eric degerman

M

erlot plays a minor role in just about every important wine region in the world. The primary exception is Washington, where Merlot has been a major player since the early 1990s.

Today, Merlot is the No. 4 wine grape in Washington, but it trails Chardonnay, Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon by a tiny amount, and these big four varieties comprise about 80 percent of the state’s total production.

Merlot can be incredibly smooth or big and bold.

It plays well in blends but also can handle the spotlight on its own. It can be a value wine or carry a reserve-level price tag.

Here, we tried to show the range of Washington wine from examples we’ve tasted in the past couple of months. Ask for them at your favorite wine merchant or contact the wineries directly. n Airfield Estates 2010 Merlot, Yakima Valley, $20: Smoky oak produces aromas of white chocolate in front of notes of plum, saffron threads, rose hips, green peppercorn and Weetabix biscuit.

Plum, black cherry and lavender arrive on the palate with sandy tannins and pomegranate acidity. n Anelare 2010 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Merlot, Red Mountain, $49: A robust and ageworthy wine, it opens with raspberry syrup aromas among barrel tones of cocoa, vanilla bean, peanut butter, molasses and nutmeg. The palate is dominated by rich cassis, more raspberry and pomegranate, presented amid juicy acidity and assertive tannins. There’s pleasing length to the finish of tobacco leaf and white pepper. n Columbia Crest 2010 H3 Merlot, Horse Heaven Hills, $15: Enticing aromas of Nutella, black cherry, plums and toasted cherry wood evolve into rich and bold flavors of black cherry, blackberry and more plums. Its smooth midpalate, bright acidity and finish of chocolatecovered espresso beans make this a crowd-pleaser

of residual sugar, which makes it more appealing to those just getting into red wine and a tasty foil to backyard fare such as smoked pizza and sliders. n Two Mountain Winery 2009 Copeland Vineyard Estate Merlot, Yakima Valley, $22: Aromas of vanilla, chocolate, red currant, honey ham, artichoke, cedar and

leafiness get your juices flowing. Flavors are filled with hints of ripe red fruit such as cherry, raspberry, strawberry and currant, backed by dark chocolate and black olive with taut tannins and lime juice.

at any price. n Daven Lore Winery 2010 Merlot, Horse Heaven Hills, $28: Plums, pomegranate and Almond Joy candy bar aromas are transformed into fresh raspberry and cherry flavors, backed by more plums.

Continued from page 21 was boosted through her interactions with something as simple as trying to hand off a book.

Through her experiences of buying the balloons, the floatation device and making her swim, Branaman estimated she spoke to more than a dozen people about the program because of garnering attention through what she was doing.

“The point is to get people to know about it,” she said of dropping the

book off in a unique location. “You don’t have to go swim out to my dock to get the book. You can go to the library to get to the book. I think it is a good book for the community because it challenges them and their perceptions. Whether they want to read the book or not, they should give the book a chance.”

Color Classic “This ride is 100 percent weather dependent,” Douglas said.

Weather reports state that rain is expected on Sept. 29. Some riders may find that discouraging, Douglas said.

“It was raining sideways one year and we had 350 (riders), that was three years ago.”

Last year, however, with less rain the ride attracted approximately 1,100 cyclists to the area.

The Color Classic is the final organized ride of the year for the Cascade Bicycle Club, founded in 1970. The first ride is the well-known Chilly Hilly on Bainbridge Island in February.

The final ride is a bit different from the Chilly Hilly, however.

“It’s not as difficult as Chilly Hilly, there’s not as many hills,” Douglas said.

8. Crumb

“It’s the end of the season so most people have been riding all summer and are in shape.”

Douglas noted that the ride is medium difficulty and generally attracts teenagers up to people in their 70s.

Two rest stations will be set up on the routes: one in Kingston and another at the gazebo on the Poulsbo waterfront. Water and

snacks will be provided.

The Edmonds Bicycle Advocacy Group is sponsoring its own all-you-caneat pancake breakfast at the Masonic Lodge start line in Edmonds on the morning of the ride.

Bike mechanics, safety and medical crews will also be present at the event.

Riders can register on the day of the ride in

Edmonds at the Masonic Lodge, 515 Dayton Street, from 7:30-10 a.m. Cyclists can also register at the Kingston start line in the Kitsap Bank parking lot at the corner of Highway 104 and Hansville Road from 9-11 a.m.

All rides are counter clockwise. Maps can be found on the club’s website, www.cascade.org.

New vintage market offers specialty items, classes for crafters: The owner of the whimsical market on Callow Avenue just wanted to brighten up the area she’s come to know and love.

One peek inside Picket Fence Market, and anyone with a sense of style can understand why it’s referred to as the “happy place.”

Annie Gambardella opened the downtown Bremerton vintage market in August in hopes of bringing craft lovers and vintage collectors out of the woodworks.

One quick glance around the large open-air room and a good thrifter can find old coke bottles, vintage pillowcase clothing and old bed frames with a sign warning that sitting on the bed will “not end well.”

A good chunk of the store’s items are from vendors, who get to keep 75 percent of the item’s selling price.

USS John C. Stennis welcomes new chiefs: The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) promoted 34 first class petty officers to chief petty officer during a ceremony at Naval Base Kitsap — Bremerton, Sept. 13.

The ceremony is the first time the new CPOs are authorized to wear their khaki uniform, combination cover and gold fouled anchors.

“To finally put on my anchors today feels like a long time coming” said Chief Culinary Specialist Michael Farmer of Yakima. “I’ve been waiting for this moment for 16 years and it feels good.”

Stennis sailors and family members filled the bleachers at the base gym to observe the time-honored tradition.

54 visitors from the Old Country visit Poulsbo: Poulsbo boasts a Scandivanian heritage and takes pride in its Norwegian-themed downtown.

But what would Norwegians think of the town’s take on the old country?

“Poulsbo is more Norwegian than Norway,” Terje Thon Stenli said.

Stenli was part of a tour with 53 other Norwegians who visited Poulsbo Sept.

17. It was one stop on a tour of various Sons of Norway lodges in the Northwest, including Ballard, Everett and Portland.

Poulsbo offers an added bonus of not only providing a lodge, but also a heavy Norwegian ambiance.

The visitors toured downtown, visited local landmarks and noted sites, and had dinner at the Sons of Norway lodge.

Settlement offer falls through as council members refuse to hand over emails: Three city council members at the center of a lawsuit against the city of Bainbridge Island have refused to turn over their personal computers so the hard drives can be searched for public records.

The denial has put a spike through a potential settlement between the city and two Bainbridge citizens, Althea Paulson and Robert Fortner, on the lawsuit.

Paulson and Fortner filed suit in Kitsap County Superior Court earlier this month after the city didn’t release public records that the pair have sought for more than two months.

In the lawsuit, Dan Mallove, the attorney for Paulson and Fortner, noted the city requires council members to use the email accounts provided by the city to correspond about city and council business, and restricts council members from using private email accounts to send emails that are public records.

Council members have also been told that emails concerning government business that are sent from private accounts are public records and should be turned over to the city, according to the lawsuit, but the lawsuit further noted that council members Steve Bonkowski, David Ward and Debbi Lester have not turned over public records that are believed to exist on their personal email accounts.

Mallove tendered a settlement offer to the city earlier this month in which he promised to drop the lawsuit if Bonkowski, Ward and Lester would turn over the hard drives of their computers to an independent, third-party expert so the public records could be retrieved.

Kathleen Haggard, an attorney from the firm of Porter, Foster, Rorick, told Mallove in an email late last week that the city was unable to meet all of the terms of the settlement offer “because the three named council members have declined to make their private computers and personal e-mail accounts available for inspection.”

Mallove said Tuesday that conversations with the city’s legal counsel have made clear that the city would agree to the settlement if it

could.

Mallove said Bonkowski, Ward and Lester were directly asked via the city’s legal team and Jessica Goldman, the attorney who is representing the three council members in their individual capacities, to provide their hard drives, but the trio refused.

The lawsuit will continue onward. A hearing on the suit is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 27 in Kitsap County Superior Court.

A gluten-free fiesta This Saturday! in just 20 minutes GLUTEN-free foodies By lisa garza

Indian & The White Guy Comedy Saturday, September 28th

ant gourmet Mexican food at home but don’t think you have the time or the energy? Well, have I got a deliciously easy tip for you: Rick Bayless’ Frontera Sauces and Marinades.

Rick Bayless has created some of the tastiest seasoning sauces and marinades and the best part is that most are created without gluten.

Marinate some steak or use the seasoning sauces for chicken, pork tenderloin or seafood. The seasoning sauces infuse the authentic flavors of Mexico into the meat while keeping it tender and juicy. Even if you do not have a grill, Frontera sauces will taste as if you have been “putting in the hours” over a hot grill.

The little packets are filled with smoky chillies, vegetables and citrus flavors that create various flavor profiles specifically for the meat that you choose to eat. Put tacos, enchiladas, and carnitas on your menu for your fiesta. Not a meat eater?

No problema! I think any of the sauces would be great on roasted veggie and bean tacos in corn tortillas too.

I love that the seasonings are wet. I think that it keeps the taco meat moist and saucy. The packets are great and provide clear information as to
