THE ROAD TO THE
SUPERBOWL SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO KITSAP WEEK
‘Hopefully it’s the best 60 minutes of my life’ Russell Wilson’s preparations for Sunday’s game began at last year’s Super Bowl BY RICH MYHRE EVERETT HERALD WRITER
A year ago, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was in New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII. Unfortunately for the Seahawks and their fans, none of Wilson’s teammates joined him. The Super Bowl was played just three weeks after Seattle’s season ended with a disappointing 30-28 playoff loss to the Atlanta Falcons. But Wilson was more than an ordinary spectator at the Feb. 3, 2013, game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens. Convinced that the Seahawks were on the verge of reaching the NFL title game, Wilson wanted a firsthand sense of the entire Super Bowl experience. “I watched the whole game, and the pregame and all that, because I really wanted to get a feel for it in case we were there (someday),” Wilson said. “I believed that we would (be) and, sure enough, we are.” Wilson, Seattle’s second-year quarterback, has done everything he can to prepare himself for Super Bowl XLVIII against the Denver Broncos. In recent weeks he has sought the advice of NFL acquaintances with their own Super Bowl experiences, including New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. Wilson even took the chance to query former Pittsburgh Steelers QB Terry Bradshaw when the latter was on hand for the trophy presentation after the Jan. 19 NFC Championship game at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field. Because the two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl are unlike anything else in the NFL, as is the extraordinary fanfare on game day, Wilson thought it important to

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who is known for his cool demeanor, hopes to lead the team to a win. learn as much as he could. “You have to understand about not getting warmed up too early and not getting too fired up,” he explained. “(It’s about) just being in the moment and relaxing as much as possible, and then going out there and playing a great game.” By the numbers, the Broncos seem to have a decided quarterback advantage in Sunday’s game. Denver QB Peyton Manning has the edge in NFL experience with 16 years compared to Wilson’s two, Super Bowl appearances with two compared to Wilson’s zero, and NFL Most Valuable Player awards with five, again compared to Wilson’s zero. Even Seahawks center Max Unger concedes, “Peyton has been the (quarterback) standard in the
NFL for years and years.” Regardless, the players in Seattle’s locker room are standing behind their teammate. “Peyton’s a great player and he’s one of the best to ever play the game, no doubt about it,” Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate said. “But No. 3 (Wilson) is a special player himself. And he’s young, so he’s going to get better every day, every game, every year. ... We’re definitely comfortable with No. 3.” “We don’t ask him to run the same offense Peyton does,” pointed out Seattle tight end Luke Willson. “We’ve got Marshawn (Lynch), so we like to run the ball. But Russ still does everything we ask him to do and more. He just makes a ton of plays.”
The question, of course, is whether the 25-year-old Wilson is ready for pro football’s biggest stage. Even Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell acknowledges that “we’re working with a second-year player. A second-year quarterback, and you have to keep that in mind.” According to Bevell, the Seahawks had some late offensive miscues in the NFC Championship game against San Francisco, and those errors were due in part to Wilson being less than flawless. “There was definitely something,” Bevell said. “I don’t know if it was (Wilson’s) nerves, but obviously we didn’t function well in those situations. We fumbled on fourth-and-one (at the 49ers’ goal line), and then we fumbled another
snap, then we came out (and ran) the wrong way. “There were a number of things in the last 10-15 plays where we didn’t function as well as we needed to. I’m not putting it all on (Wilson) because there were other things going on, too. But we’re still talking about a second-year player, and that’s the first time that he’s been in that situation. But he never flinched. He came to the sideline, I was able to talk to him ... and he got a handle on the situation. “He’s been fabulous in everything we’ve asked him to do,” Bevell said. “He does a great job of managing all the situations, and he’s come up big in just about every one of them.” And even in the emotionally packed days leading up to the Super Bowl, “I don’t know how anybody could be better prepared to handle it (than Wilson),” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said. “That’s his preparation that came way before he ever got to us. He’s a tremendous kid, and I think he’ll be at his best, just like he has been in every other opportunity that we’ve faced.” Asked what it would mean to him to win a Super Bowl, Wilson had a ready response. “The thing I’ve thought about more than anything is what it’ll do for this organization,” he said. “We want to win a Super Bowl and be the first ones to win it in our organization, and that’s kind of our mindset. ... Obviously to win a Super Bowl, that’s the thing you want to win most. “It’s the ultimate game,” he added. “It’s the Super Bowl, and you look forward to these moments. You enjoy these moments, too, but you also keep your focus on the main thing and that’s making sure that your mindset is right and ready to go. ... I’m looking forward to that, and I’m not going to shy away from it.” As kickoff nears, “I’m excited about the game,” Wilson said. “I’m excited about the moment and about playing one play at a time, just like always, and hopefully it’s the best 60 minutes of my life.”

CK Fire looking to raise ambulance fees soon BY LESLIE KELLY LKELLY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
Ambulance transport fees in the Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue District will most likely go up beginning March 1. The CKFR board of commissioners began discussions on the subject this week and plan to take a vote on the matter in February. Battalion Chief Joe Repar suggested that the rates increase 2.5 percent when he addressed the
commission Monday. But commissioners felt that wasn’t within the policy that the board had previously set. Commissioner Dick West said it had been the policy of the board to increase ambulance transfer fees at the same rate as the consumer price index, a standard measurement of inflation. The current CPI index is measuring inflation at 1.6 percent. But Repar said his suggestion of 2.5 percent
reflected a “minimum adjustment for durables and fuels which are constantly rising.” During the discussion, commissioners brought up the idea of raising the per mile fee instead, from the current $15 a mile to $16 a mile. Repar also asked commissioners to approve an additional itemized charge for five specific items. Those are an ECG (electrocardiogram) at $70, IV (intravenous fluids) or IO (intraosse-
ous infusion) at $50, O2 (oxygen)at $50, SAO2 (oxygen saturation levels) at $15 and a C spine (cervical spine precautions) at $40. “If you’re not itemizing, you’re leaving money on the table,” Repar said. “It’s very expensive to keep our ambulances running.” He said if commissioners approved the 2.5 percent increase in transport rates and the itemization SEE FIRE, A9

Scouts earning their way to more merit badges BY SERAINE PAGE SPAGE@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

When it comes to Boy Scouts, it is all about the badges. But in order to obtain those badges, it takes a whole lot of work as some scouts found out over the weekend. On Saturday, local Boy Scouts flocked to the Orca District Merit Badge Clinic for the opportunity to choose to earn three of the 35 badges offered. Badges offered varied from chess to journalism, reptile and amphibian study, to salesmanship and scholarship. According to the Boy Scouts of America website, there are more than 130 badges that can be earned. Adrian Kollodge of troop 1566 has 19 badges so far. Over the weekend, Kollodge spent a day working on his electronics badge where he had access to a soldering iron and other materials. “I think I like being in the classes because I’m able to learn stuff. It’s a pretty big opportunity,” he said. “I think it’s pretty fun, but it can be a bit challenging to understand. I’m pretty sure I’ll get it.”
Along with homework, sometimes there are additional requirements for the scouts to follow up on once the clinic is over. The once-a-year clinic is a chance for scouts to receive individual attention for badges that are often difficult to earn on their own, clinic volunteers said. Whether learning about oil spills or reptiles, each class was taught by a
“l’m able to learn stuff. It’s a pretty big opportunity.” – Adrian Kollodge counselor, who has some sort of expertise in the field they are coaching the scouts in. Additional volunteers stepped in when needed, like Tracy Purser, who brought along her bearded dragons for the reptile and amphibian class. She brought Heila and Wink for scouts to ask questions about and hold if they wanted. Purser, who owns three lizards, brought the pair to the clinic for show and tell to explain the impor-
tance of reptiles in the ecosystem. “Amphibians and reptiles play an important role in the environment. They control pests and plants.” she said. “As a scout, they need to learn to respect and learn about the world around them.” Along with earning some badges, the overall goal is for scouts to explore a variety of unique experiences, said Pete Ross, assistant merit badge counselor. Ross, a Boeing assistant engineer, helped out scouts in the electronics classroom. He assisted scouts in using soldering irons. “They’re exposed to different hobbies and careers,” he said. “It’s kinda the Boy Scouts way to get them interested in careers.” For the last 20 years, local scouts have had the clinic at their fingertips to earn badges that might otherwise be a little more difficult to obtain. The clinic, hosted by Orca district, had participation from 27 different troops in the area. In total, 264 scouts enrolled for the opportunity to SEE SCOUTS, A9

Fundraiser set to help severely abused infant BY SERAINE PAGE SPAGE@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
Erik Green remembers hitting his knees in prayer with a stranger in the neonatal unit at Mary Bridge Hospital in Tacoma. The pair prayed for all the babies on the hospital floor, including his grandson, Darrell Grossman, who had been severely abused by his daughter’s boyfriend. The boyfriend has since been arrested. The hospital was the start of the kindness Green and his family witnessed after his grandson was admitted at 8-weeksold for severe/massive brain trauma. The baby was released a few weeks ago and has been under 24 hour care with his family. “It literally brings tears to my eyes,” said Green, his eyes watering. “This community is so small and so big.”
Within days of hearing the news, residents kicked into action to help the family out with the cost of bills. Already, fundraising events are springing up in the community. On Thursday, The Garage Bar & Grill hosted an event to raise funds for the baby. Tomorrow, one is scheduled at Manette Saloon & Sidebar. Kat Moor set up the Jan. 30 fundraiser with high hopes that it would go well. Moor said many bikers in the community have stepped in to assist. She’s never met Darrell or his mother. “It’s just how we work,” she said. “When stuff like this happens, it’s amazing to see how the community comes together. The community overall has the heart.” The event was a “Wing Ding for Baby Darrell”

Moor accepted gift basket items, gas cards for the family, and monetary items to be deposited in Grossman’s fund at her Kritter’s Leather Creations Shop. The Feb. 1 benefit will be from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. with live music, a silent

auction, and drink specials. The auction portion of the event will be from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. “Let’s show this family how much Kitsap County cares,” states the Benefit for Baby Darrell Facebook page. Proceeds will go to helping the family with bills. One of the biggest costs at the moment is gas, Green said. “His doctor appointments are all along the I-5 corridor,” he said, including in Bellingham and Tacoma. Although the infant has been released, he still has swelling on the brain. A bone and brain scan will be more conclusive, and the family will know more next month, Green said. Even though the monetary help has been useful, Green said that he appreciates anyone who shares

to him over the last few weeks. “To know that complete strangers care,” Green said before trailing off. “You hear about abuse cases. People always saying it’s not here. (This) it hits home.” Additionally, Kitsap Credit Union, Smith Chiropractic & Sports Rehab, American Sass, Exquisite Gift Baskets, Bremerton Chamber of Commerce, Harrison Medical, and Mary Bridge Children’s hospital also have helped the family.

Somebody can help in some way.” Pages Books is also serving as a monetary drop-off point for the family. As for emotional support, the baby’s family has received it in every way they can imagine, Green said. The family’s gotten calls as far away as Nova Scotia and Italy from people offering up kind words and prayers. “(It’s) amazing,” he said. “My wife’s chatted with people all over the world just offering thoughts and prayers.” It’s the kind words that get Green.

Does red mean go? It happens nearly every single time I drive home from work at the intersection of Randall Way and Bucklin Hill Road and again just a few yards away at the intersection of Bucklin Hill Road and Silverdale Way. Sometimes the infractions are just so blatant I would love nothing more than to confront the driver. What’s getting me all wound up? The dangerous drivers that run red lights. I’m not talking about those that enter the intersection on a yellow light, either; no, I’m talking about drivers that aren’t even close to the intersection speeding up and blazing through a light so obviously red it makes my face red in disbelief. According to the 2008 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Traffic Safety Facts report, there were more than 2.3 million reported intersection-related crashes, resulting in more than 7,770 fatalities and approximately 733,000 injury crashes. That’s back in 2008, folks, and I’m pretty confident the numbers haven’t gone down. Last week I asked Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office Deputy Scott Wilson for some numbers specific to Silverdale in 2013. Below is a numerical list of traffic collision investigations for 2013: • Silverdale Way NW & NW Bucklin Hill Road: Jessica Ginet 13 • Kitsap Mall Blvd. NW & NW Randall Way: 12 • Silverdale Way NW & NW Ridgetop Blvd. / Kitsap Mall Blvd. NW: 11 • Silverdale Way NW & NW Randall Way: 8 • Silverdale Way NW & NW Myhre Road: 7 • NW Bucklin Hill Road & Tracyton Blvd. NW / NW Myhre Road: 6 • NW Myhre Road & NW Ridgetop Blvd.: 5 • NW Ridgetop Blvd. & Mickelberry Road NW: 4 • Silverdale Way NW & State Route 303 NW: 3 National Stop on Red Week takes place the first week of August each year. Perhaps Silverdale needs to participate in such an event? I’m confident that bringing increased awareness to this huge lapse in judgement is needed. If our community members are interested in immediately creating a safer environment for ourselves, our fellow drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, etc., I encourage you to do one thing: Obey traffic control devices. In the meantime I’ll continue to slow on yellow lights and pause and look both ways when my light turns green; inevitably there’s at least one car charging through against the light.

Bremerton: It’s for everyone The Bremerton I see before me today is far removed from the Bremerton of 1998. The Bremerton of 1998 consisted of more areas to stay away from, as far away from as possible, instead of areas to enjoy and embrace. As a young couple looking to purchase our first home, we were drawn to the affordability and availability of houses within the price range we were looking for. The appeal of being able to own our own home without having to live in a cookie cutter development where every third house looked just like ours or have to belong to anything even resembling a homeowners association was enticing and exciting. As the years have passed collective neighborhood pride has grown as well. Common area improvements, projects and communications have brought residents together. Social media has played an important role as the tools in which to communicate within any given neighborhood has become easier and faster to access. A slow but steady growth downtown has brought about many changes that have been requested for quite some time. Restaurants, entertainment and
Everything Bremerton
Colleen Smidt shopping options have cropped up where there were little to none before. Coordinated activities such as the First Friday Art Walks and various holiday festivals have made going downtown for some food and fun seem second nature. With a certain amount of collective success comes the temptation to close the door and protect what has been accomplished. The inability to listen or learn from anything that might be critical or construed as negative by those labeled as “outsiders” quickly follows. I am always disheartened by the posts I read on various blogs that come from Bremerton
residents dismissing comments or concerns from surrounding community members simply because the individuals making the comments “do not live here.” Bremerton continues to improve so that it can service the population that resides within its borders as well as drawing new people in from surrounding communities to shop and enjoy what it has to offer. Without that welcome, influx of people from the outside coming in with new ideas and suggestions, a community such as Bremerton would begin to stagnate. While remaining realistic in regards to what goods and service I can and will purchase here and those I will be looking to travel outside of Bremerton for, I both agree and support a certain amount of “buying local” and supporting Bremerton business. Just the same, those on the outside are looking to travel into Bremerton for the goods and services they can’t or don’t want to get within their own community. Welcome to Bremerton. Our door is open. Please bring your ideas and suggestions and feel free to take back the positive experiences you have had with us. You can reach Colleen Smidt at colleensmidt@gmail.com.

CK school district officials ask for levy support February 11 is an important day for Central Kitsap School District. Voters will decide on the renewal of our School Support Levy, which is 20 percent of our budget. A levy is a way for local communities to supplement state funding. At one time, levies provided “extras,” above and beyond basic education. But that’s not the case anymore. Our state does not fully fund public education. Today, our levy provides support in nearly every area of our day-to-day operations. In fact, 95 percent of all school districts in our
state are currently collecting school support levies. These funds help bridge the gap between the state and federal funding they receive and what it actually costs to run a district. Here in Central Kitsap School District, the levy helps pay for things like activities and athletics, all day kindergarten, arts and drama, elective courses, libraries, music, small class sizes, special education, teachers and staff, technology, textbooks and instructional materials, and transportation. In short, the levy allows us to provide a well-rounded, quality education for our students. The type of
education our community expects. The school support levy is a big portion of our budget. But it also makes us eligible for extra state and federal m o n e y. F o r example, the first Mark Gaines y e a r of the replacement levy is $20.8 million in local revenue. Based on that, we can receive an additional $3 million in state funds and $6 million in federal funds. It’s also important to note that this is not a new
tax. It is a renewal of the school support levy voters approved in 2010. That levy will expire next year. The 2014 school support levy measure on the February ballot will replace, not add to, the school support levy currently in place. Central Kitsap residents have a history of strong support for public education. Why? Because they know that strong public schools are the foundation of a vibrant, successful community. We’ve had a school support levy in place for the past 20 years and are grateful for our community’s consistent support. This levy proposal is an oppor-
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Support CK school levy on Feb. 11
Multiple school districts in our community are running levy renewal campaigns on a Feb. 11 special ballot. Please support the replacement levy for the Central Kitsap School District. The levy on the Feb. 11 ballot is a replacement for expiring levies, making a minimal impact on property taxes. Levy funds allow school districts to offer advanced placement courses, all-day kindergarten, library services, and additional special education services. Levy funds are used to lower class sizes, to maximize student learning at every level. Additionally, levy funds support extracurricular activities. Recent changes in the state budget make local levies even more important for school districts to provide high-quality education to Central Kitsap students. In Washington state, 95 percent of all schools rely on local levy funds.
The support of local levies further qualifies individual districts for state matching funds. Rejecting a local levy would then disqualify school districts from state funds, putting our students at a great disadvantage in the local and global workforce. Whether or not you have students in Central Kitsap area schools, a “yes” is a wise investment in the future of Kitsap County. Laura Rarig Ridgetop Junior High School Teacher

global workforce opportunities. Fact: The U.S. education system with state budgets yearly along with approved levies ranks our education system about 35th out of 50 countries. Wow! How proud are you now? There is nothing wrong with wanting the best in education. But get the facts verified before you vote or the dumbing down of our children continues all because we trust without verification. Lower classroom sizes: This reasoning for voting yes for levies is totally unsubstantiated. This excuse has been used for passage of levies longer

than I can remember. Yet classroom sizes somehow remain too large. What’s our goal? One teacher per student. Why is this continually a problem? All past levies have passed and yet it still continues to be a validated excuse for failure at local school levels. Taxpayer monies are simply misappropriated and no accountability. Same old rhetoric. In world standings, our education system puts us as below 50 percent. For any voter this should be unacceptable if you truly want the best for all the children.

Crocheters create handmade ‘acrylic hugs’ BY SERAINE PAGE SPAGE@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
The Kitsap Fancy Crocheters Guild members are good at three things: crocheting, laughing, and donating items to charity. Founded in 2005, the group is made up of avid crocheters working toward the goal of donating as many items as possible into the community. Nothing is ever sold as it always goes to someone in need. The best part? It’s all done with donated yarn and donated time. In 2013 alone, the group gave away hundreds of items. “Everything we do is for charity,” said Beth Boshears, founder and president. Boshears decided to stop sending her crocheted pieces to the National Crocheters Guild to be mailed to someone she would never meet. She thought those pieces should go to someone locally. The group’s items have gone to abused babies, cancer patients, veterans, and others in crisis situations. Members are young and old, newcomers and regulars. “People come and go,” said Boshears of the members. “It’s a lifelong craft. Once you learn it, it will come back to you.” On Wednesdays, the

group gathers around a large table in the back room at Cafe Noir in Silverdale. Out come the hooks and balls of yarn. Coffee and snacks are just a side note. The main event is usually getting squares done for afghans as it takes around 110 hours to make one as a group. From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., the room is filled with crocheters going to town on their projects. Each has their own bag of colors they work with — sometimes as part of a large project, such as an afghan — at their own pace. “It keeps us all out of the bars and off the streets,” joked member Dolores Still. “(I enjoy) getting to know everybody.” Novices and experts alike
are invited to take part in the weekly gathering. Last year there were 21 regular members, and the group hopes to add more, said Maurine Howard, vice president. “If we had more people, we’d have so much more,” she said. It takes about 10 minutes to teach a newbie the basics of crocheting, she said. And there’s plenty of yarn to go around. The Kitsap Fancy Crocheters Guild has an entire storage locker full of yarn that’s accumulated over the years. Floor to ceiling, the 5 by 10 space has yarn in every color one can imagine. Each “skein” as the balls of yarn are called, has been donated to the guild. Twice a year the guild has a “yarn winding party” where members gather at a fire station to unravel and bag yarn for future projects. “Give us your yarn and we’ll do it,” said member Maggie Jones, who others claim is the fastest crocheter around. Jones has been at the craft since first grade. Within a matter of hours, Jones can craft a hat to be donated to the Washington Veterans Home in Retsil, one of the group’s largest projects of the year. Before Christmas, 85 hats need to be crocheted. For average crocheters, it gener-

ally takes between three and five hours to make a hat, which are “the best of the best” for the vets, Boshears said. Aside from creating charity items, the group also participates at the county fair and shares information on using plastic bags in environmentally-friendly crochet projects. Last year they took home a ribbon for best booth for a crocheted cow that fit the fair theme. On the third Monday
of each month, members gather for a potluck crochet event at the Clear Creek Community Club from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. for a $5 fee to cover the room rental. Membership in the guild is $24 a year to cover the cost of the yarn storage locker. Community volunteers are welcome to join the group at any time as the guild meets year round. Free form and patterns are encouraged and used throughout the meeting for the projects.
“I used to be a slave to patterns, but I’m not anymore,” said Still, who has been at it for 60 years. “It’s just fun to know that you can look at a pattern and probably make whatever it is. Crochet is really popular nowadays.”
If you know someone deserving of an afghan or crocheted item, contact Beth Boshears at rezist@ msn.com or 360-830-3360 for more information.

Gardener Joe says its time to add and divide Ah, it will soon be spring! The birds will be chirping and the plants will be starting to bloom. Now would be the time to plant but also divide your plants. Do you have plants that got too big and outgrew the space? How about creating a new bed. That will reduce the amount of mowing needed and add color to your yard. There are so many plants to choose from. Or, put in native plants which in turn have adapted to the climate and produce food for
wildlife. The time to transplant is when the ground is fairly dry. Make sure the plant you are moving has enough roots. Know the plant. For example, day lilies are easy. I like to use a garden fork. The tough forklike spikes push into the soil and lifts the plant out. Divide it and amend the soil with a little compost and then place the plant in its new location. With any plants being moved, make sure they get enough water for the first couple seasons or until

Joe Machcinski established. Did a shrub or tree get to big? Many of them can be moved in their younger years. Instead of topping the plants or pruning them
to try to keep them small, or plant something new. I have moved rhodies with ease. I like to root prune the plant, place it on an old tarp and drag it to its new location. A rule of thumb in transplanting a tree or shrub is to dig about a foot to a foot-and-a-half for each to get some real cool plants. Spring is also the time to be watching out for plant sales and shows. For your fruit trees, the Peninsula Fruit club had a grafting show and the Seattle Fruit Tree Society is
having their’s soon. Having a number of trees is great because a benefit is cross pollination as well as the fruit. Come and check out the Peninsula Fruit Club. Contact Jean Williams at 360-674-2368. Meetings are held at the Bremerton Parks and Recreation building at 680 Lebo Blvd. in Bremerton. Reader Question: Can I make more of my favorite shrub? A. Why yes! So many deciduous shrubs can make good candidates.
Take a cutting of new wood and insert it into a good medium of soil keep moist. I like to scratch the end and put a little root hormone on it. If you have a greenhouse, that would be the best. But if not, you can make a miniature cold frame, or try layering some branches from the mother plant. After a season or so, you have a new plant. Get out there and have some fun! Happy gardening!

Central Kitsap ninth-grade move ‘ready to go’ BY SERAINE PAGE SPAGE@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
There were no supreme challenges that kept the Central Kitsap School Board from holding back on its decision to move ninth graders up to the high schools by the 2014-2015 school year. During a Wednesday night board meeting, Franklin MacKenzie, director of secondary education, presented his
findings to the board that there would not be any “overwhelming barriers” for the district to make the move happen. “We have not found any overwhelming barriers, thankfully,” he said. While the vote was made by the board in September, the group decided it wanted to wait until early this year to make sure that the logistics would work out. The board recon-
firmed its support with a 5 to 0 vote. “Thank you all,” said Superintendent Hazel Bauman. “I’m pleased to report we’re ready to go.” The students enrolled at Central Kitsap, Ridgetop and Fairview junior high schools will move to Olympic or Central Kitsap high schools by this fall. Ninth graders will remain at Klahowya Secondary School.
The move is one year ahead of the original plan and materials will be moved after July 4. District administrators began discussions with teachers Dec.11 regarding the moves. Final teaching locations are to be determined in the upcoming months, MacKenzie said. CKHS will need additional work on science labs and portable classroom space. Olympic High School will need
some modifications to get the school ready for the new ninth graders. Spaces such as gyms, lockers and the cafeterias all appear to have sufficient space to support the move. Orientation dates will be set shortly for freshman and sophomores. Next up, the board will be looking at the junior high schools left with just 7th- and 8th- grade students. Some portions of the schools could be
shut down to save on electricity and cleaning, MacKenzie said. Reconfigurations will start soon, and it won’t be a quick move, the superintendent said. If there are changes to the K-6 program, it won’t go into effect until the 2015-2016 school year. “It won’t be as easy,” Bauman said of the possibility of moving sixth graders. “There’s more debate.”
SCOUTS participate in various sessions to earn badges over the weekend. “To me, it’s just a great community bonding and sharing opportunity,” said Theo Cragg, clinic assistant master. “It’s an opportunity for the boys to get a variety of merit badges that can be classroom-centric.” While some classes were filled with light-
hearted topics, others covered more serious issues, such as oil spills. Troop 1506 Scout Jack Corley, 12, just joined Boy Scouts a mere six months ago. As a first time clinic attendee, he was hoping to earn his environmental badge. Corley worked with other scouts to try and remove vegetable oil from water, simulating how difficult it is to take oil out of the ocean during an oil spill. It wasn’t as easy as he thought it would be, but
felt it to be a good learning experience. “I learned how to take care of oil in a real life spill. ‘Cause future generations will suffer if we don’t (take care of it),” he said. “I had fun learning about this.”
vices. Commissioners also began discussions about when to ask voters to renew the current EMS levy. The current levy which is at 50 cent per $1,000 of assessed valuation of property in the district, will expire at the end of 2015, according to Chief Scott Weninger. While the 2014 State Legislature may raise the maximum amount that can be charged to 75 cents per $1,000, commissioners agreed that they are looking at renewing at the current level, pending the outcome of the legislation. Traditionally, CKFR has run their levies in the spring, the board
was told, so to not conflict with other local governments who also have levies, such as the school district. If the fire district does a mail-in election on his own, it will cost about $80,000. But if other governmental boards have ballot issues, that cost would be shared, Weninger said. “Generally, an election in November costs less, because there’s always a ballot,” he said. Weninger reminded the board that the levy makes up about 20 percent of the district’s annual budget, or $3.27 million in this year’s budget. “If we don’t do it right and it runs out without
being renewed, that’s what we’ll have to live without,” he said. The chief said he wasn’t looking for a decision at this time, but rather ideas. He said the district could “get moving” and be ready to run the levy in November of this year, or wait until the spring of 2015. “In that event, if it didn’t pass, we’d still have the November (2015) election to try again,” he said. Commissioners asked that the district determine what other levies may be on upcoming ballots and bring that matter back to them for a decision.

list, the district would net about $104,000. Based on an average of 3,089 transports per year, that would mean the district would make $1.32 million in 2014. Current transport rates are advanced life support 2 (ALS2) at $873, which would increase to $895; ALS1 which is $770 and would increase to $789; basic life support (BLS) which is now $591 and would increase to $606. The more serious calls, hence, cost more. Repar told the board that the increases would be charges on all trans-
ports, but that in reality, only about 33 to 35 percent of the transports would pay that amount. He said the others are individuals who are covered by Medicare or Medicaid, and those rates are set, and the district only recovered what Medicare and Medicaid will pay. “It will be the transports who have private insurance who will pay the increased amounts,” he said. Right now Medicare and Medicaid pay $260 for a BLS, $390 for an ALS and $500 for an ALS2, and it pays only $6.26 a mile, he said. Commissioners asked how CKFR compared to other fire districts

in the area and Repar said CKFR is currently the highest in Kitsap County, but that CKFR’s rates are comparable to averages within Puget Sound. Ultimately, commissioners asked Repar to go back to the drawing board and create a proposal based on a 1.6 percent increase, with $16 per mile charge and bring that back to them in February. They want to know the dollar amount that would bring the district, and where that would put CKFR in comparison to other fire districts in Kitsap County. Commissioners said at that time they will also reconsider the itemization of some ser-

Transit riders want more bus runs, Sunday service BY LESLIE KELLY LKELLY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
If a random sample of riders is any indication, people who ride Kitsap Transit want Sunday service to come back. And they want their weekday buses to come to their stops more frequently. Those are some of the results of a ridership survey that was conducted in October 2013. The results were released to the Kitsap Transit board last week. According to the more than 1,470 riders who were surveyed, 39 percent of riders said Sunday service was the most important improvement that Kitsap Transit could make. Another 22 percent said additional runs on Saturday were needed. And another 20 percent said that expanded weekday service was their top priority. Improving the number and location of stops was listed as the most important additional service by 19 percent of those who answered the survey. The survey also asked non-riders similar question by telephone. Non-riders said more convenient routes were their highest priority at 21 percent, higher service frequency was listed by 11
percent and adding Sunday service was the answer given by 7.3 percent of those asked. These were the things that they mentioned would get them to use the bus. Kitsap Transit Executive Director John Clauson said in most cases, a bus needed to come by any given stop every 15 minutes for consumers to consider the service as convenient. Clauson told the board that it was now up to them to determine if Kitsap Transit should take steps to improve service based on the survey results. Clauson said the survey was done as a part of a “origin of destination” survey that is done every 10 years by the Washington State Ferries. Kitsap Transit’s portion of the survey cost $68,000 and was completed by Moore and Associates, Bellevue. “There are a number of issues that this survey provides information for us,” Clauson said. “We use the information in a variety of ways.” Among other things that the survey showed is that riders would like to see a fast foot ferry to Seattle from Bremerton. Of transit riders who were surveyed, 88 percent said they supported it, and of non-riders,
55 percent gave it a positive reaction. Of riders, the average amount that each would pay one way would be $5.28, and for non-riders, 39 percent said they’d pay less than $5, and 56 percent said they’d pay between $5 to $10. Currently, the state car ferry costs $7.85 for a walk-on passenger per round trip, but is considered to be slow by most foot passengers. As for paying for improvements, transit riders said they would support a fare increase. More than 54 percent of riders indicated that some level of fare increased would be supported up to 50 cents per ride. Non-riders said a fare increase of 25 cents to 50 cents was what they would support. Full fare now is $2, but about half off the ridership gets a seat at half-price because they are students, seniors or disabled. If improvements were to be paid for through higher taxes, half the nonriders questioned said they would support that move but 33 percent said they would not. The agency now receives eight-tenths of 1 percent of local sales taxes. That is one-tenth of 1 percent below the maximum allowed. Voters would have

to approve any increase. But some on the board, like Poulsbo Mayor Becky Erickson, said if services were improved as riders indicated they wanted, including Sunday service, buses would be used more frequently and there would be no need for higher fares or higher taxes. Of those surveyed who ride the bus, 303 were from Bremerton, and 276 were from Silverdale. Of non-riders questioned, 296 were from Bremerton and 99 were from Silverdale and Seabeck. Other areas included in the survey were Bainbridge, Kingston, Poulsbo, Port Orchard and Olalla. Of riders questioned, 62 percent said they take the bus because, while most had driver’s licenses, they didn’t have a car. If Kitsap Transit didn’t exist, 27 percent said they’d be walking, and 21 percent said they’d have to catch a ride with a friend or family. Other answers included “wouldn’t take the trip” at 13 percent, “drive my own vehicle” at 23 percent, “ride a bike” at 9 percent and “take a taxi” at 7 percent. A majority of the riders questioned gave Kitsap Transit high ratings on safety at bus stops, safety onboard the buses, and reli-
ability. More than half said they get their bus schedules and information online. Clauson said as Kitsap Transit moves forward, the survey results will help determine where any increase in funds could be spent. “Historically, we always thought Sunday services was what was wanted,” he said. “And it is for some, but we also see that if we want to attract new riders, we need to have more convenient and more frequent service.” He said the information also will help Kitsap Transit make determinations about how to reach its audience. “We know now where our riders get their information about us and where the non-riders do, too,” he said. “We can try to communicate better with those who use the system and those who do not.” Above all, he said he was very pleased with the high marks that Kitsap Transit received in the areas of safety. Central Kitsap County Commissioner Linda Streissguth, who is on the transit board, said she found the survey to be very telling. “There is a high level of satisfaction among riders,” she said. “And we know that

our service is being used often for those who are getting to a job and are going out shopping, particularly the youth. And it’s not surprising that it is the lower income level who are our base ridership. It’s all really valuable information as we look at appropriate service routes and or expanding.” Bremerton Mayor Patty Lent said she was pleased with the results of the survey, noting that passengers liked the cleanliness of the busses and friendliness of the drivers and schedulers. “I personally would like better and more frequent service in all areas we serve before bringing back Sunday service,” Lent said. She’s also a supporter of the fast foot ferry to Seattle. “We are still developing the argument for passenger only/fast ferry service to Seattle and have just received written confirmation to allow the balance of our federal grant to be spent on a 20 year business plan for cost, revenue choices, service and scheduling and identify an operator,” Lent said. “The Transit Board is hoping to have this plan completed in four to six months to continue with a sustainable program.”

Stennis receives award
BY DANIEL SCHUMACHER
MASS COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST 3RD CLASS
The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) was announced as a recipient of the U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet fiscal year (FY) 2013 Retention Excellence Award (REA) Jan. 9th. This is the third consecutive year Stennis has been recognized for exceeding the retention expectations and criteria set forth by the chief of naval operations. “This award speaks volumes about the phenomenal teamwork, mentorship, and support provided by this crew to each of our shipmates,” said Stennis commanding officer, Capt. Mike Wettlaufer.”I could not be more proud of our Stennis team.” To qualify for the award Stennis had to meet or exceed reenlistment rates of 55 percent for Sailors between zero and six years of service (Zone A); 60 percent for sailors between six and 10 years of service (Zone B); and 71 percent for sailors between 10 and 14 years of service (Zone C). An attrition rate of 5.5 percent or lower for Zone A sailors was also required. The Stennis also had to meet all qualifications for the Professional Apprenticeship Career Track, a program for undesignated sailors to receive on-the-job training to qualify for a permanent rate; and the Navy Leadership Development Program, which aims to develop essential leadership skills for all sailors.

Columbia Winery finds new leader, stability C
olumbia Winery has had a trying dozen years. The longtime Washington winery has changed hands three times since 2001 and now looks like it will enjoy some much-needed stability. In mid-2012, E&J Gallo of Modesto, Calif., purchased Columbia Winery from Ascentia, a wine company that’s no longer in business. Ascentia had purchased it from Constellation Brands of New York in 2008, which bought it from Corus Brands (now Precept Wine) in Seattle in 2001. Columbia was launched in 1962 by several University of Washington professors and was known as Associated Vintners until the 1980s. It was the first winery in the state to focus exclusively on European wine grapes. In the late 1970s, founder Lloyd Woodburne hired David Lake, a British winemaker who had earned a master of wine degree. Lake went on to introduce the state to Syrah and had a lasting effect on how wine is made here. Lake retired
NW Wines By ANDY PERDUE and eric degerman
in 2006 and died in 2009 after battling cancer and heart disease. Under Gallo, Columbia looks like a much different winery. It still resides in its beautiful tasting room in Woodinville, across the street from Chateau Ste. Michelle. But it has narrowed its focus to four wines that have been released in the Pacific Northwest and will go into national distribution this summer. These wines total 80,000 cases in production; by comparison, Columbia made more than that in Riesling alone just a few years ago. With the new wines, Columbia also has unveiled a new label. Winemaker Sean Hails came from California in 2012 to take over Columbia’s production. The Ontario, Canada, native worked in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley before going to Gallo and heading up the company’s Livingstone Cellars operation in the
Sean Hails has taken the reins of the Columbia Winery after years of management changeover. Columbia Winery Central Valley. There, he processed 500,000 tons of grapes a year — more than double what the entire state of Washington produces annually. Last fall, he crushed 4,300 tons
for Columbia. In addition to the four wines reviewed here, Hails also is crafting 14 wines that will be available to wine club members and in the tasting room.
These four wines were tasted in the past few weeks. All are broadly distributed in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska. n Columbia Winery 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, $14: Here’s a luscious and classic Cabernet Sauvignon that opens with aromas of black cherry, black currant, black walnut and dark chocolate, followed by rich flavors of cocoa powder, pomegranate and black pepper. It’s all backed with moderate tannins, making this a great wine to pair with grilled meats or midweek pizza. n Columbia Winery NV Composition, Columbia Valley, $14: This nonvintage blend includes wine from 2010 and 2011. It leads with Cabernet Sauvignon (41 percent), followed by Syrah, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. It’s rich and bold, with aromas of roasted coffee, boysenberry, dark chocolate and ripe plum, followed by deep, bold flavors of huckleberry, oak and rich spice. It has terrific length
and should pair nicely with mushroom risotto, lasagna or spaghetti and meatballs. n Columbia Winery 2012 Chardonnay, Columbia Valley, $14: If you enjoy Californiastyle Chardonnays, this is your wine. It’s a big, rich, buttery white with aromas of saffron, baked potato skins and cream, followed by bold flavors of ripe pineapple, pear, buttered toast and white pepper. Enjoy this as a cocktail wine or with eggs Benedict or butternut squash ravioli. n Columbia Winery 2012 Merlot, Columbia Valley, $14: It didn’t take Hails long to figure out Washington Merlot. His first vintage in the state reveals a dandy of a wine. It is smooth and easy going, with aromas of cherry, blueberry and vanilla cream candy, followed by fresh, bright flavors of high-toned red fruit, including cranberry, pomegranate and cherry. The sumptuous midpalate leads to a bright and luscious finish. — www.greatnorthwestwine.com.

The battle consists of three nights — Feb. 8, 15, and 22 — with four artists performing during each concert. The performances will be judged by a panel of local music industry elite.
The winners of each show will advance to the finals on March 1 in the EMP’s Sky Church. “You are judged on the performance,” Ko$mo said. “Then you go to the finals between four bands.” Ko$mo, a sophomore at Kingston High School, produces and records at his home in Kingston, along with a few friends. “We get some beats, they make some beats,” he said. “(Then) me and my

friend record it.” Ko$mo’s sound is reminiscent of Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest, and perhaps even a little Del the Funky Homosapien. But his modern take is laid over the hip hop heritage, speaking to the life of a Kingston teen. “It’s just hip hop,” he said. Tickets to the Sound Off! shows are available through www.empmuseum.org.

Annual Backyard Bird Count begins Feb. 14 Bird watchers collect data for greater understanding of bird behavior
I
f your family enjoys watching birds at your backyard feeders — or anywhere else, for that matter — the Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual event you’re sure to enjoy. This four-day event engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are. The 17th annual bird count (www.birdcount. org) starts Feb. 14 and continues through Feb. 17. Everyone is welcome to participate, from beginning bird watchers to experts. It takes as little as 15 minutes on one day, or you can count for as long as you like each day of the event. It’s free, fun, and easy — and it helps the birds. A joint project of the

Potter said ATMs are nearby if needed. For Potter, a Texas native, the event is an extension of a lifelong passion that was briefly put on hold while he was stationed out of the country while serving in the Navy. “When I was a kid, 7 or 8, we used to grab a big trash bag of comics and throw them in the car and read them on a trip,” he said. Potter also worked jobs in college around the collector scene. “I joined the Navy and immediately went overseas,” he said. “Navy life, being on a ship, there wasn’t much time other than to live your Navy life.” So when he was stationed in Kitsap, with

Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society, the four-day count receives sightings from 11 countries. The count went global in 2013, receiving nearly 139,000 reports on more than 4,000 species (about 39 percent of the worldwide total of 10,240 species). In 2013, participants reported a total count of more than 34.5 million birds. Why count birds? Scientists and bird enthusiasts can learn a lot by knowing where the birds are. Bird populations are dynamic; they are constantly in flux. No single scientist or team of scientists could hope to document and understand the complex distribution and movements of so many species in such a short time. Scientists use the Great Backyard Bird Count information — along with observations from other citizen-science projects, such as the National Audubon Christmas Bird
Count, Project FeederWatch, and eBird — to get the “big picture” about what is happening to bird populations. The longer the data is collected, the more meaningful it becomes in helping scientists investigate far-reaching questions, such as migration trends, distribution and changes in habitat. Participating is easy. Simply watch birds for at least 15 minutes at the location of your choice on one or more of the count days. Estimate the number of birds you see for each species you can identify. You’ll select your location on a map, answer a few questions, enter your tallies, and then submit your data to share your sightings with others around the world. National Audubon (www.birds.audubon.org/ birdID) and the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology (www.allaboutbirds. org) both offer online bird guides to help you identify the birds you see and listen to their calls. — Gene Bullock is editor of the Kitsap Audubon Society newsletter, The Kingfisher.

a more stable life, he decided to get back into the collector scene. Potter started Alpha Comics, an online store that sells through eBay and www. comcicollectorlive.com. “(Alpha) comes from my grandmother, her name was Alpha,” Potter said. “When I was a kid I would spend a month or two visiting my grandparents. She would take me to flea markets where I found comics. That always stuck with me, so when I got to name a business, Alpha seemed right.” He also began seeking out events like comic cons. But there wasn’t anything local to Kitsap. Now there is. Fans have three opportunities to gather this year. Potter hopes to continue the event in years to come.

HIALEAH, FL – An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula. According to a national drug survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers.

KINGSTON — The Hep Replacements are a common feature in the Kingston area, performing blues, funk and R&B classics at venues such as The Point Casino. But their most recent venture takes a local vibe and sends a message across the nation: The 12th Man is coming. “I woke one day and the words ‘the 12th man’s a comin’” kept going through my head,” said Annemarie Olson, lead vocals for Hep Replacements. The
12th Man the Seahawks would not be there,” Olson said. “We stick with our team no matter what.” Now with the Seahawks heading to face the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., Olson and countless other fans, are rooting louder than ever. Perhaps some, like Olson, are doing it with a bluesy beat. “I know they will win because the Seahawks are a kind and good team and they deserve to win,” Olson said. “My husband has been a Seahawk fan since the first day of their existence, so he can relate to this song.” “The 12th Man’s a comin’ to New Jersey,” she said. “And we are going to kick booty.”

Seahawks fan quickly went to work. “Then this funky beat came and I thought, ‘Wow, I am going to see if my band, the Hep Replacements, can help me put it together.” Olson wrote the lyrics to the tune, and band mates — as well as others — helped the song emerge, including Justin Gelle, guitar; Luke Morgan, piano; Terry Marsh, drums; Randy Olson, vocals; and Duffy Williams, vocals. Williams also helped out with recording the song, “The 12th Man’s a Comin’,” a bluesy anthem dedicated to the Seahawks and their upcoming Super Bowl game. A video of the song can be viewed on Olson’s YouTube account under “Annemarie Olson.” “I think it is about the Seahawks, but without the

THE ROAD TO THE
SUPERBOWL SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO KITSAP WEEK
‘Hopefully it’s the best 60 minutes of my life’ Russell Wilson’s preparations for Sunday’s game began at last year’s Super Bowl BY RICH MYHRE EVERETT HERALD WRITER
A year ago, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was in New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII. Unfortunately for the Seahawks and their fans, none of Wilson’s teammates joined him. The Super Bowl was played just three weeks after Seattle’s season ended with a disappointing 30-28 playoff loss to the Atlanta Falcons. But Wilson was more than an ordinary spectator at the Feb. 3, 2013, game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens. Convinced that the Seahawks were on the verge of reaching the NFL title game, Wilson wanted a firsthand sense of the entire Super Bowl experience. “I watched the whole game, and the pregame and all that, because I really wanted to get a feel for it in case we were there (someday),” Wilson said. “I believed that we would (be) and, sure enough, we are.” Wilson, Seattle’s second-year quarterback, has done everything he can to prepare himself for Super Bowl XLVIII against the Denver Broncos. In recent weeks he has sought the advice of NFL acquaintances with their own Super Bowl experiences, including New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. Wilson even took the chance to query former Pittsburgh Steelers QB Terry Bradshaw when the latter was on hand for the trophy presentation after the Jan. 19 NFC Championship game at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field. Because the two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl are unlike anything else in the NFL, as is the extraordinary fanfare on game day, Wilson thought it important to

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who is known for his cool demeanor, hopes to lead the team to a win. learn as much as he could. “You have to understand about not getting warmed up too early and not getting too fired up,” he explained. “(It’s about) just being in the moment and relaxing as much as possible, and then going out there and playing a great game.” By the numbers, the Broncos seem to have a decided quarterback advantage in Sunday’s game. Denver QB Peyton Manning has the edge in NFL experience with 16 years compared to Wilson’s two, Super Bowl appearances with two compared to Wilson’s zero, and NFL Most Valuable Player awards with five, again compared to Wilson’s zero. Even Seahawks center Max Unger concedes, “Peyton has been the (quarterback) standard in the
NFL for years and years.” Regardless, the players in Seattle’s locker room are standing behind their teammate. “Peyton’s a great player and he’s one of the best to ever play the game, no doubt about it,” Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate said. “But No. 3 (Wilson) is a special player himself. And he’s young, so he’s going to get better every day, every game, every year. ... We’re definitely comfortable with No. 3.” “We don’t ask him to run the same offense Peyton does,” pointed out Seattle tight end Luke Willson. “We’ve got Marshawn (Lynch), so we like to run the ball. But Russ still does everything we ask him to do and more. He just makes a ton of plays.”
The question, of course, is whether the 25-year-old Wilson is ready for pro football’s biggest stage. Even Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell acknowledges that “we’re working with a second-year player. A second-year quarterback, and you have to keep that in mind.” According to Bevell, the Seahawks had some late offensive miscues in the NFC Championship game against San Francisco, and those errors were due in part to Wilson being less than flawless. “There was definitely something,” Bevell said. “I don’t know if it was (Wilson’s) nerves, but obviously we didn’t function well in those situations. We fumbled on fourth-and-one (at the 49ers’ goal line), and then we fumbled another
snap, then we came out (and ran) the wrong way. “There were a number of things in the last 10-15 plays where we didn’t function as well as we needed to. I’m not putting it all on (Wilson) because there were other things going on, too. But we’re still talking about a second-year player, and that’s the first time that he’s been in that situation. But he never flinched. He came to the sideline, I was able to talk to him ... and he got a handle on the situation. “He’s been fabulous in everything we’ve asked him to do,” Bevell said. “He does a great job of managing all the situations, and he’s come up big in just about every one of them.” And even in the emotionally packed days leading up to the Super Bowl, “I don’t know how anybody could be better prepared to handle it (than Wilson),” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said. “That’s his preparation that came way before he ever got to us. He’s a tremendous kid, and I think he’ll be at his best, just like he has been in every other opportunity that we’ve faced.” Asked what it would mean to him to win a Super Bowl, Wilson had a ready response. “The thing I’ve thought about more than anything is what it’ll do for this organization,” he said. “We want to win a Super Bowl and be the first ones to win it in our organization, and that’s kind of our mindset. ... Obviously to win a Super Bowl, that’s the thing you want to win most. “It’s the ultimate game,” he added. “It’s the Super Bowl, and you look forward to these moments. You enjoy these moments, too, but you also keep your focus on the main thing and that’s making sure that your mindset is right and ready to go. ... I’m looking forward to that, and I’m not going to shy away from it.” As kickoff nears, “I’m excited about the game,” Wilson said. “I’m excited about the moment and about playing one play at a time, just like always, and hopefully it’s the best 60 minutes of my life.”

Right smack dab on the top of Kurt Larson’s bucket list is “see the Seahawks play in the Super Bowl.” He thought he might be in his 50s before he saw that happen. But this is the year. And Larson’s going to Super Bowl XLVIII. “It’s a life-long fantasy for me,” said Larson, 38, who is director of sales and marketing for Silver City Brewery in Bremerton. “I’m a life-long fan and this is what I’ve been waiting for.” Larson, who grew up in Kitsap County, has been at about half the home games this season, both playoff games, and the Jan. 18th NFC National Championship game. He isn’t a season ticket holder, but splits tickets with someone he knows through his work who is. After the win against the 49ers, Larson and his friend, Willy Berry, from Boise, who attends the games with him, decided to “see if we could get
they learned of two tickets that were for sale for $4,000. “That’s pretty steep,” he said. “But I told my buddy Willy to see if he could get them for $3,500.” They negotiated with the seller and settled on $3,700 for the two tickets. Ticket prices are up to $8,000 a ticket online. In all, the weekend trip to New York is expected to cost each of them about $3,000 a piece, plus another $500 for “beer and souvenirs.” But, Larson said, he doesn’t have anyone to answer to for spending that kind of money. “I’m single — free and clear,” he said. “So I don’t have to explain this to anyone.” Larson will begin his trip on Saturday, Feb. 1, with a flight to San Francisco and then to Newark, New Jersey. He has a two and a half hour layover in San Francisco and has something special planned. “I’m just gonna sit in the airport in my Seahawks gear and smile at everybody,” he said. “If they ask, I’m gonna tell them ‘I’m going to the Super Bowl and
you’re not,’” he added referring to the win over the 49ers. He’ll meet up in New York with Willy, who is flying from Boise, to Seattle and then to New York. “We had to take the best flights available and that meant not flying together,” he said. “Flights were pricey and we aimed at whatever we could get for the cheapest price.” They’ll stay in the Hilton in Times Square and plan to party with other 12th Man Seahawk fans, although they don’t personally know anyone else going to the game. “Seahawks fans are the best,” he said. “You don’t have to know them, to know them.” They have a shuttle “party” bus to the game on Sunday and then back to the hotel where the celebrating will continue. Larson predicts a 31 to 24 win if the weather is cold and clear, and a 24 to 17 win if it’s snowy or wet. “Manning has Super Bowl experience,” Larson said. “But our defense will win out.”

Surfing? “Sometimes the surfs up and then it goes flat,” Rowland said. He has seen both during his tenure with the franchise. Rowland was in the Kingdome for Seattle’s disastrous 1992 season when scored just 140 points, which is the fewest by an NFL team in a 16-game regular season, en route to a franchise-worst 2-14 record. “When you’re 13-3, it’s just absolutely thrilling,” Rowland said. “I think good fans are the ones that paint their faces blue when we’ve won two games.” Thirteen years later, Rowland witnessed then-coach Mike Holmgren choreograph the league’s highestscoring offense as the Seahawks finished 13-3 and advanced to their first Super Bowl. Rowland’s favorite memory of that season was the team’s dominating 34-14 win against Carolina to earn Seattle’s first conference title. Another highpoint for Rowland was witnessing standout cornerback Richard Sherman tip a pass intended for San Francisco wide receiver Michael Crabtree that was intercepted by linebacker Malcolm Smith to

Rowland’s other favorite moment occurred when wide receiver Steve Largent, arguably the best player in franchise history, was inducted into the team’s “Ring of Honor.” Largent, who played with Seattle from 1976-89, was the team’s first Hall of Famer. “They’re just a wonderful, wonderful organization,” Rowland said. “It’s been a great association for a lot of years.” And one he never anticipated. Rowland worked in broadcasting from 1975-88. He was the sports director for KING radio and hosted a Seahawks’ show on one of the many precursors to what is now ROOT Sports. But Rowland decided to leave the media to work in the ministry. He now is the pastor at the Christian Reformed Church in Seattle’s Greenwood neighborhood.

Rowland will watch the Super Bowl and then celebrate his birthday Feb. 7 — he turns 61 years old — before he flies the following day to Panama. Rowland said he was awarded a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., which is an Indianapolis-based, private philanthropic foundation created in 1937, for a “renewal sabbatical.” “The opportunity to get away and be in a completely different culture,” said Rowland, who hopes to continue to develop his Spanish and pursue other favorite activities, including SCUBA diving, during his four-month stay. “That’s what would make my heart soar. I love the culture and people.” But before he leaves, Rowland hopes Seattle’s sports fortunes can soar through the city’s first championship in a professional men’s sport since the Sonics won the NBA title in 1979. “I think it’s a really exciting time to live in the Puget Sound area,” he said. “I’m fortunate to have a tiny part in this organization. It’s just a game, but it’s a game that has a psychological impact on the city. I hope Seattle benefits deeply from this opportunity.”
defensive starters out with injuries,” Larson said. Larson’s love for the Seahawks goes way back to his childhood, when he attended games with his brothers. “When I was 6-years-old, I met Jim Zorn,” he said. “It was after a game and I was wearing his jersey (number) and he came up to me and said ‘hey.’ My brothers were all excited and I was like, ‘Who’s that?’” But since those days, Larson has studied the team and been a loyal fan. Even through the years when people called them the “Sea Chickens,” he said. And even while he lived in San Diego. “I actually quit my job down there so I could come back here to be at the 2005 playoff games,” he said. And he knows the current players very well. After the NFC National Championship game on Jan. 19, Larson and Berry were leaving the Alibi Room when Larson saw Tarvaris Jackson, Seattle Seahawks backup quarterback, on the street. Larson knew him right off, even though he’s not one of the Seahawks whose face is often in the news. “He was with two other team members and I knew they didn’t really want people coming up to them,” Larson said. “So I just gave him a fist bump and said ‘nice work guys.’” It’s all a big brotherhood, he said, of men and football. “It’s something else,” he said. “I mean, where else would you see grown men crying and hugging each other?”

THE ROAD TO THE SUPERBOWL
Friday, January 31, 2014
No experience needed for a Super Bowl win The Seahawks are the first team since 1990 to reach the Super Bowl without a single player who has been in the big game before. BY JOHN BOYLE EVERETT HERALD WRITER
RENTON — Even for Pete Carroll, a coach with vast experience, not to mention the fame, fortune and clout to get into just about any big event he chooses, this weekend’s Super Bowl will be a first. Sometime back in his first go-around in the NFL, Carroll decided he wouldn’t go to the Super Bowl as a spectator; instead, he would wait until he earned a trip. “Never,” Carroll said when asked if he had attended the NFL’s biggest game. “I really had the thought a long time ago that I’m not going until we’re playing in it. Fortunately, we’re finally going.” Just as it will be for Carroll, Super Bowl XLVIII will be a new experience for Seattle’s players. Barring a surprise last-minute roster move, the Seahawks will become the first team since the 1990 Buffalo Bills to play in the Super Bowl without a single player on its roster who has past experience in the big game. With an average age of 26.4 the Seahawks are the secondyoungest Super Bowl team in history, just a bit older than the 1971 Dolphins, who lost to Dallas. So the obvious question is, does experience matter? Does the fact that Denver quarterback Peyton Manning is playing in his third Super Bowl while Russell Wilson is in his first mean anything? Or does it simply mean Manning is older and was on some good teams in the past? Seahawks players don’t really know for sure, but they’re approaching the week as if nothing is different. “It’s just another football game,” safety Kam Chancellor said. “At the end of the day, it’s football, it’s running and hitting.” Added fellow safety Earl Thomas: “I’m just doing what I’ve been doing all season. I haven’t changed just because we’re in the Super Bowl.” Yet even if the Seahawks plan to treat Sunday’s game like any other, the buildup certainly will be different. From the circus that is Super Bowl media day to spending an entire week in a hotel to being
hit up with ticket requests from relatives they never knew existed, players face challenges that simply don’t come with other games. “I think the more veteran team you have, the little bit easier it is,” said former Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, who guided Seattle to the 2006 Super Bowl. “The more times you’ve been through it, it’s easier because there are not a lot of surprises ... There is nothing like it, so you have to talk about it. You have to talk to your team about it.” Oh, and that quote above, Holmgren was talking about the NFC Championship game. “It gets worse if you go to the Super Bowl,” he continued. While this year’s Seahawks may lack Super Bowl experience, Holmgren said he thinks they have the mental makeup to overcome any potential disadvantages. “It strikes me when I go over there, they are as loose a group as I’ve been around,” he said. “But, having said that, I think it’s pretty controlled. They understand that. They handle it pretty well.” These inexperienced Seahawks came into Super Bowl week hoping they can put all the distractions aside, yet they’re also aware that there’s no way to know for sure until they live it. “I really don’t know what to expect for real, being that it’s the first time in the Super
Bowl,” Chancellor said. “I know it’s going to be a ton of media and a ton of people out there. My family is going to be out there, but I’m just blessed for this opportunity to make it to the Super Bowl and get a chance to compete against one of the best. I’m just looking forward to it and can’t wait.” And if you don’t think the emotions of a first Super Bowl are different, just ask Holmgren about one of the pictures hanging in his house. In the old black-and-white photo, Holmgren, then the 49ers’ quarterbacks coach, is sitting in a folding chair facing head coach Bill Walsh going over the game plan. To this day, Holmgren has the same reaction to that photo. “Every time I see that picture, my heart starts going thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump,” he said. “I go ‘Wow, I remember that.’ I was nervous. When I was a head coach, I wasn’t so nervous.” So maybe past Super Bowl experience matters a little, though if it does, it’s not exactly like the Broncos have a roster full of it. While Manning won one title with the Colts, no one else on Denver’s roster has a championship, though receiver Wes Welker, tight end Jacob Tamme and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie have all played in Super Bowls.

thing going for them this week, it will be a bit of familiarity. Having played the New York Giants this year, the Seahawks have already played, and won, at MetLife Stadium. Carroll even made sure to find out what would be the NFC team hotel for the Super Bowl so his Seahawks could stay there for their regularseason trip to New Jersey. “I always like using those illustrations ... where we have been there before and we’ve done that,” he said, noting the possibility of a return trip wasn’t something discussed publicly before Seattle won the NFC Championship game. “We just try to hold back on that at the time thinking it was too presumptuous, but we’re fortunate now. We’ll be in the same hotel, we’ve been in that locker room, we’ve played well at that stadium, so hopefully we’ll utilize that some. It’s just about being comfortable.” Everett Herald photo

Special Seahawk Content Ever y Friday in Januar y
The best of both worlds Super Bowl XLVIII features the NFL’s No. 1 offense against its No. 1 defense
Story by John Boyle, Everett Herald Writer RENTON — While most of America spent the day after the NFC Championship game reacting to Richard Sherman’s postgame antics, the Seahawks cornerback was already immersed in film study. “With Peyton,” Sherman said. “you have to be on it quick, because I know he was on it quick.” When it comes to preparing for quarterback Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos’ offense, an extra week between games is probably one or two weeks too few, which is why Sherman and the Seahawks defense, despite being the best in the NFL, know they have their hands full this weekend. All season this Super Bowl matchup seemed like destiny. In the AFC, the 37-year-old Manning enjoyed the best season of what will surely be a Hall-of-Fame career, shattering passing records while leading the Broncos to an NFL record for points in a season. Seattle, meanwhile, earned the NFC’s No. 1 seed thanks in large part to a defense that became the first since the 1985 Chicago Bears to lead the NFL in fewest points (14.4) and fewest yards allowed (273.6) as well as takeaways (39). When you factor in the pass-happy era we’re in, Seattle’s pass defense wasn’t just great, it was one of the best of all-time. So when Sherman tipped Colin Kaepernick’s pass to Malcolm Smith for the game-clinching interception in the NFC title game, it didn’t just secure a Super Bowl berth for Seattle, it also set up one of the most
intriguing Super Bowl matchups in recent memory, a classic meeting of an unstoppable force and an immoveable object. “We really embrace that, man,” Sherman said. “As a defense, we respect the heck out of Peyton Manning, but as a true competitor, as competitive as our team is, you wouldn’t want to have it any other way. You want the best of the best, otherwise you don’t feel like you’re getting the biggest challenge of your life. ... It’s just a competitive drive in you. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. So that’s the only way it can go.” And there is no arguing that this is a best-vs.-best matchup. Manning, whose career was in danger less than three years ago following multiple neck surgeries, established single-season records for passing yards (5,477) and passing touchdowns (55). He carved up opposing defense by spreading the ball around to a group of pass-catchers with diverse skill sets, ranging from a prototypical No. 1 receiver in Demaryius Thomas to a speedy slot receiver in Wes Welker to an athletic tight end in Julius Thomas. And of all the crazy stats the Broncos put up, the most stunning might be that they had four passcatchers produce 10-plus touchdown seasons: Thomas, Thomas, Welker and Eric Decker. For a little perspective on how crazy that is, there were just nine other receivers and tight ends on the NFL’s 31 other teams to accomplish that feat. So it’s no surprise that the Broncos are confident in their offense, no matter who is lined up across from them. “They are the No. 1 defense,” Demaryius Thomas told reporters in Denver. “They have a great defense and we have a great offense. This is what you play for. I think we’ll be
fine.” Yet as confident as the Broncos may be, it’s safe to say they’ve yet to see anything quite like this Seattle defense, which didn’t just have the best pass defense in the league, but the best by a significant margin. Seattle allowed 172.0 passing yards per game, 22.1 fewer than the No. 2 team. The Seahawks’ opponents’ passer rating of 63.4 is 10.8 points better than the next best team. The website FootballPerspective.com came up with a formula to rate pass defense in a historical context by using adjusted net yards per attempt — meaning it factors in sacks, not just actual pass attempts — then factored in a standard deviation relative to the average pass defense that year, and came away with the conclusion that the Seahawks have the fourth-best pass defense since 1950 behind 2002 Tampa Bay, 1988 Minnesota and the 1970 Vikings. Those ’02 Buccaneers won the Super Bowl, and it should be noted that Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was the defensive backs coach of the ’88 Vikings. Seattle’s secondary deservedly saw three players, Sherman, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, earn Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors, yet it’s safe to say they’ve yet to see anything quite like Denver’s offense. But Seahawks fans might take comfort knowing that in the previous four Super Bowls to match the league’s No. 1 offense and No. 1 defense in terms of yards, the defensive team won three times. Not only is Denver’s offense talented, it’s also a challenge because Manning has so much freedom at the line of scrimmage, essentially serving as, as Sherman called him, “an offensive coordinator out there.”
“Nobody has ever taken more command of the game than he has at this stage of his career,” Carroll said. “And the coaching staff has allowed that to happen where he can be in total command of what’s going on.” One thing Carroll and his defense know well is that stopping Denver’s passing game isn’t only about the players covering Manning’s targets. If the Seahawks can somehow generate a pass rush to disrupt Manning’s timing, they’ll be doing something few teams have this season. The Broncos allowed a league-low 20 sacks this season, 18 on Manning, and that number clearly isn’t a testament to Manning’s mobility. Instead the Broncos rely on solid pass protection and, even more important, a quarterback who through years of experience has learned precisely when to get rid of the ball and where to throw it. The Seahawks added Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril to improve their pass rush, and it worked, with Seattle registering 44 sacks this season, but even with a strong group of pass-rushers, pressuring Manning, like stopping the entire
best defense. “We have to be able to do everything,” Carroll said. “We have to be able to pressure him, we have to be able to play zone and man, do all of the things. Hopefully give him some new looks he can’t prepare for.
12
We have to find a way to get him out of his normal rhythm. Very few teams have been able to do that. So it’s a big challenge.” Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@heraldnet.com.
