Ronald Eugene Lee Lee, director of transportation for the school district was born May 12, 1951, in for 27 years, died April 16, Raymond. According to his

family, he spent his working career “in dedication to the school districts in Washington state”; the bulk of that career was spent at North Kitsap. Patty Page, superintendent of the North Kitsap School District, said she is “deeply saddened” by Lee’s death. “He was a major part of our school district for a number of years,” Page said. “He did a remarkable job. I’ve never seen a trans-

portation department that was as well managed, and his heart and soul were around kids and his staff.” Lee’s job had a student-safety aspect that went beyond ensuring buses were well maintained. As transportation director, he was up at 3:30 a.m. on snowy winter mornings to assess road conditions. Based on his assessment, the superintendent made the decision whether to use alternate bus routes,

open school late or declare a snow day. School board member Scott Henden said, “I think he ran the department well. Ron was always responsive. We certainly saw him at a lot of meetings. “He was just a great guy.” Lee is survived by his daughter, Abby Lee; stepson, Aaron Strozyk; sisters, Mary Katherine Lee and Karen Lee; and brother, Rick Lee.

Tree removal on Earth Day ‘unfortunate timing’ an arborist declared at least two of those trees to be unhealthy and rotted, according to pastor Scott Pennington. Removal was something that only recently was possible within the constraints of the church budget. Aside from the rot, there were also safety concerns regarding the trees. “Everytime we’ve had a major windstorm, or any big wind come up, we’ve had big limbs falling, four to six inches in diameter,” Pennington said. Because the trees were close to the building and

right over the walkway, this posed a serious concern, Pennington said. He added that there are a number of children and families that walk along that pathway every week with a danger of being hurt by falling branches. Also in danger, he said, were the buildings on the property. Pennington said the oldest building on the property is about 100 years old, and the oldest tree was only about 80. “We love trees,” Pennington said. “We love the neighborhood, our community. “It was just

something, the way we thought, of being good stewards of our property.” Since the church took down those trees, Pennington said they’ve received a few comments and concerns from their neighbors and other passersby, partially because the felling took place on April 22, which was Earth Day. “That was just unfortunate timing,” Pennington said. “It was a matter of, we finally … had the money in our budget to do it.” He added that many people brought up the date

of the felling in their concerns, but after explaining the safety concerns and how some of the trees were rotted, “the majority of the people were very understanding.” “Not everybody understands, and not everybody’s going to agree,” Pennington said. After felling the trees, Pennington said some cords of firewood were given for free to families in the church who use wood to heat, and other cords were sold to help finance a mission trip church members will be taking to

Mexico in the summer. As for landscaping, Pennington said the church takes a couple days a year as a “work day” for the grounds. He said that at the back of the property, there are “a few blossoming trees,” and they will “most likely plant something there to take the place” of the felled trees. “We love trees,” he said. “They’re beautiful. [Removing the trees] was really out of concern for the property. We just felt it was a safety concern.”

Reminder: Village Green Community Center project begins May 3

The project started, as aforesaid, when the Navy housing site was acquired by Kitsap County. The county deeded the site to the foundation for a future community center and library, and the county pledged to the project the proceeds from the eventual sale of the current community center and library on Highway 104. That vision was bolstered later by a donor’s gift of $1 million for the new library. Teams of volunteers cleared and improved the site. Kingston voters established the Village Green Metropolitan Park District, a junior taxing district, to support development and maintenance of Village Green Park. A portion of the Village Green property was sold to Martha & Mary for construction of affordable apartments for older residents; the proceeds from that sale were used to install infrastructure for the community center. Major donations came from the state, $1.5 million; and the C. Keith Birkenfeld Foundation, $1 million. But

the rest came from approximately 70 other donors — individuals, non-profit organizations, foundations and federal, state and Tribal governments.

“It’s the breadth of community engagement in this project that has continued to propel it forward,” park district commissioner Bobbie Moore said in the

announcement. “It’s been the ultimate do-it-yourself project, and yet has had help from a rich variety of partners — a true community effort.”

At 4 p.m. on May 3 at 4 p.m., the Village Green Foundation will turn the first shovels of dirt to symbolically usher in the start of construction of the long-awaited 23,000-squarefoot Village Green Community Center. According to the foundation, construction will take about 10 months. When completed, the community center will house a new Kingston branch library, senior center, and a Boys & Girls Club. It will also be the culmination of 12 years of community effort to transform a former Navy housing site into a center of community life.

That effort — which included a complicated network of partners and roles — resulted in the development of Village Green Park and creation of a park district to maintain it; Martha & Mary’s development of affordable apartments for older residents; and now the community center and library. “We could not be more thrilled to be at this point,” board president Mary McClure said in an announcement of the event. “It’s been a long and at times difficult journey, but watching the community come together in support of this effort has been one of the most inspiring experiences of my life.” The project is expected to cost $8.2 million.

IN OUR OPINION

Education reforms would add state, local control W

ith a flicker of bipartisanship, work has begun on a significant reform of the nation’s main education law No Child Left Behind, which could end a lot of the frustration among students, parents and teachers with the emphasis it puts on testing students by shifting authority and decision making to the states and local school districts. Members of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions began work April 28 to consider legislation drafted by Sens. Patty Murray, D-Washington, and Lamar Alexander, R-Tennessee, to reform No Child Left Behind, itself a revision of a 1965 law that sought to equalize funding and access to elementary and secondary education. In announcing the legislation last week, Murray and Alexander admitted this is a compromise and includes provisions each wouldn’t have necessarily included on their own. But such compromises are key to bipartisan action. The reforms, as written, would not do away with the current regimen of testing students in math and language arts each year in the third through eighth grades and again once in high school, as well as three science tests between the third and 12th grades. But the federal Department of Education would no longer mandate that the tests be used to evaluate teachers. Objections among Democrats in the Legislature and the teachers union to that requirement are what resulted in the state losing a waiver last year that cost school districts control of $40 million that instead went to tutors and for transportation of students to other school districts. In seeking to restore the waiver this year, the Legislature has been considering Senate Bill 5748, which would put off the requirement to use test scores in teacher evaluations for a year and would allow school districts to negotiate with local teachers unions on how much weight the scores would be given in evaluations. With Congress only starting work to reform No Child Left Behind and passage not guaranteed, the Legislature shouldn’t put off action to restore the waiver. The proposed federal reforms would preserve accountability but would put the responsibility on the state to design its own checks to ensure students are learning and prepared for the next grade level and ultimately for college and/or careers. Testing, used primarily to measure student performance and direct the education of each child, should continue on the current schedule. There is opposition to the reforms. The National Education Association, the parent of the Washington Education Association, still objects to the testing regimen the reforms preserve. And, the national union says, the bill doesn’t go far enough in addressing the inequities between schools with higher rates of low-income families and those with students from more affluent families. If the reforms proposed by Murray and Alexander become law, Washington state and local school districts should take seriously the responsibilities that would be transferred from the federal level to them. The Legislature is expected to increase K-12 education funding by as much as $1.4 billion this session as it continues work to meet its obligation to fully fund education. But the state’s obligation extends beyond spending money; it must ensure that spending results in improved educational outcomes for all students. The state, local school districts and their unions, parents and the community should work together to hold each other accountable.

LETTERS Thanks, DOT, for improving line of sight My wife and I want to thank the Department of Transportation mower operator for a fantastic job of mowing alongside State Highway 104 between Parcells Road and Balmoral Place. This work has tremendously improved our line of sight, since we have a clear view of oncoming traffic. You have accomplished what others failed to do or consider. A job well done. CAROL AND ANDREW SZERLOG Kingston

Sidewalks are needed, not political cronyism A letter we received from the county was sent to surrounding homeowners as well. The county proposes closing two streets in downtown Kingston to motorists and pedestrians, subject to being arrested if trespassing after dark or some set hours. I am appalled that this is even a proposal. This goes beyond gentrification to outright elitism. Several wealthy homeowners have decided to force the county to privatize a county road/street based on unsubstantiated fears of “suspicious activities” and a sense of entitlement based on property value and view. These same entities/individuals have already worked with the county to put up not one, but two “No Stopping” and “No Loitering” signs. This is unpublished in the county or local news. The workers who work at Everett Naval Base commute by bus and ferry and walk up this way every day. People walk down to the beach. People walk up from the beach. People walk down to the ferry. It is a quiet and safe alternative to the on/off lanes of ferry traffic. We have a known population of commuters. There is no “hooliganism” or “vandalism” or whatever is the latest social threat. There are five sets of apartments in Kingston, from Section 8 to middle class. Almost every ad in the rental magazines and ads state,

“Walk to downtown and ferry.” But now, there is a “Not after dark,” “Not in my backyard” proposal that is so ridiculous it makes me very concerned about the quality of leadership in the unincorporated town of Kingston. A valid letter from the county to homeowners would be considering how to put sidewalks in all the streets of Kingston! Walking on the side of busy streets and the state highway is unsafe and dangerous to motorists and pedestrians. The people responsible for this kind of pocket-padding political cronyism are the real criminals. They hide in broad daylight with a cloak of righteous rhetoric that has no basis in reality. In fact, they are minding everyone else’s business but their own. ELIZABETH KEITH Kingston

Common Core won’t improve education Joan Gorner (“Common Core is just the latest fad,” page A4, April 10 Herald) is rightly suspicious of Common Core as a cure-all education reform. Common Core, like the No Child Left Behind law, is hatched by politicians in Washington, D.C., who are frustrated with the problems in education they do not understand. Gorner writes that “every few years, someone dreams up a panacea to address education in the U.S.” This someone is mostly a superintendent who moves from school to school like an indulgence peddler to sell education salvation. I remember vividly when a

new superintendent convinced the North Kitsap School Board to divide NKHS into five autonomous Small Learning Communities. That was the future of education then. Three years earlier, in 1997, we switched from a six-period day to a four-period block because that, too, was the future of education. A new principal pushed for the Digital Learning Commons, a computer-based “distant learning” procedure. Gov. Gary Locke came to launch the project in 2004 and told the staff that we are “helping to blaze the trail for the entire State of Washington. You are true pioneers.” While we were digital pioneers, we also embraced mainstreaming the non-plus ultra future of education in 2005. And, another new principal introduced Differentiated Instruction in 2007 — another future, brain-dead on arrival. All of these expensive and time-consuming “reforms” were abandoned again. Will Common Core produce better-educated kids? Of course not. As long as we try to squeeze all students through the samesize square hole and force them to take the one-size-fits-all highstakes tests, or the punitive tests prescribed by teacher-hostile Olympia politicians, education won’t improve.

Secondly, Fidel Castro is 88 years old and his brother Raul is 83, and we can also be fairly safe in assuming they will not be around much longer. If we hope to have a positive influence in shaping post-Castro Cuba, the time to begin a meaningful American presence on the island is now and not after both brothers have passed away and Cuba is in a state of flux and potential chaos.

steps of the state Capitol. Inslee acknowledged that it has been six years since the state provided a cost-of-living adjustment for teachers. When he pledged to fight to secure a â&#x20AC;&#x153;real COLAâ&#x20AC;? of 4.8 percent in the next budget, he was briefly drowned out by a chant of â&#x20AC;&#x153;12 percent, 12 percentâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a slightly off reference to the pending double-digit pay hike for lawmakers. (Inslee, by the way, stands to get a 4-percent raise.) To be fair, lawmakers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involved in the pro-

cess of setting their own pay. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the role of the commission, an independent panel expected to operate free of political encumbrances. Its members arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to be swayed by the salary woes faced by teachers. Nor are they to be affected by knowing the 147 men and women in the Legislature have been held in contempt by the state Supreme Court for violating constitutional dictates for school funding. Commissioners derived their recommendations

ocratic transition in Cuba is to have a solid diplomatic and strong economic presence and structure in place on the island as soon as possible. Third, virtually every reliable source one can cite tells us that the rate of incarceration per 100,000 citizens in Cuba is a touch over 500, while in the U.S. the rate is a little over 700 per 100,000. The sad fact is, no country on earth imprisons a higher rate of its citizens than do we.

Those prisoners in Cuba might well only be languishing in prison for the crime of simply speaking their minds, but many of the 2.24 million imprisoned in the U.S. are there primarily for the crime of poverty, which goes a long way to ensuring that our justice system does not function fairly for them.

Marina Day Celebration June 13 on the waterfront U

nseasonably warm weather in March brought a substantial increase in boating traffic to the Port of Poulsbo. Boat nights increased 127 percent in March, and boat nights year-to-date are 34-percent higher. During March and April, approximately nine yacht clubs visited the Port of Poulsbo Marina, bringing more than 150 boats. ANNUAL MARINA DAY CELEBRATION. The port’s third annual Marina Day is planned for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 13. Like last year, two-forone guest moorage will be featured, along with a trout fishing pond for the kids and live bluegrass music. Want more? How about free boat rides provided by Northwest Boat Rentals, and free kayak and paddleboard demonstrations by the Olympic Outdoor Center?

While a newly-constructed boathouse would cost around $53,000, finding a used one of the proper size and condition is preferable. As an alternative to purchasing a replacement boathouse, there are at least two other options. One would be converting this open slip to accommodate two small boats. The other is installing a float that would provide kayak and paddleboard storage racks. PORT QUIZ. Last month’s Scuttlebutt asked about the derivation of the term “dog watch.” Many know that this special shipboard watch, only two hours in duration, lasted from 4-6 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Its intent was to split the four-hour watch to permit

sailors to avoid standing the same watch each day ... “dodging” the watch. This “dodging” the watch became “dogging the watch” in later years. What real sailor has never heard of the ship’s “geedunk”? This specialized ship’s store sold various snacks, such as chips and ice cream and even cigarettes. It’s derivation is the subject of this month’s Port Quiz. Send your best guess to commissioner. swann@portofpoulsbo. com.

BUSINESS North Kitsap

Small business offers a huge benefit

Employees get a chance to visit France and learn traditional craft of crepe making By MICHELLE BEAHM

mbeahm@northkitsapherald.com

KINGSTON — When it comes to crepes, Paul Pluska, owner of J’aime Les Crepes in Kingston and Bainbridge Island, is a big fan of tradition. Pluska learned the art of making crepes in France, under the informal tutelage of chefs in family-owned creperies. Now that he owns two of his own, Pluska is sticking to the original, buckwheat crepes that started in Brittany, France. With 16 employees currently and up to 20 during the busy summer months, a lot of training is required to keep that traditional style. That’s why Pluska and his wife Heather Pluska, co-owners of J’aime Les Crepes, are starting to send their employees to Paris to learn from the masters. “I thought it was a unique benefit that we’re going to start offering trips to all of our employees, even our most junior employees, to Paris to experience what I did and go to some of the similar creperies that I learned in,” Pluska said. Currently, employee Faith Knight is in Paris,

Kim Hissung makes crepes at J’Aime Les Crepes. Hissung is a longtime employee of the company, and will be one of the first to get the opportunity to go to Paris and study under traditional Michelle Beahm / North Kitsap Herald creperie chefs. learning from creperies that utilize the white-batter Parisian style as well as the traditional Brittany style. She’s the test-subject for the tour. Starting this year, Pluska will be sending two employees each fall to Paris for a week to visit creperies. “We have requirements,” Pluska said. “You have to be 18, of course, and an opener and closer of both shops, have keys and be proficient at a certain level so that this is important.” The two employees who are leaving for Paris on Sept. 29, Kim Hissung and Selene Duffy, both meet those requirements. Hissung has been working with Pluska for six

years. Duffy, however, has only been there for seven months. “I was super-honored when they chose me,” Duffy said. “I was incredibly honored for being technically the newest person … to get to be (one of) the first person to go after Faith.” This is especially exciting for her, because Duffy has never flown in a plane before. “I was just blown away by

the opportunity, and absolutely was like, ‘Yes, yes,’ ” Duffy said. “I cried when I told my mom.” Hissung said, “To visit Paris is amazing.” “He’s talked about it before, in the past,” she added, “something that he’s wanted to do, but when he actually said it was going to happen, we were shocked. “I think it’s pretty rare and pretty exciting. Not a lot of business owners do this for people, so we’re

really appreciative and we’re really excited.” Pluska credits the success of his year-old branch on Bainbridge Island with finally being able to afford to offer this to his employees. He’ll be paying for the airfare and lodging; he’ll also be giving them a stipend for food, so they can visit the six creperies he’s picked out for them to learn from. “I think they’re going to benefit huge,” Pluska said, “because they’re going to taste and experience and sample all the same sort of crepes I did and come back, and (they) wouldn’t just be doing a job anymore. “(They’d) have the same vision as me. Which is going to be, I think, highly motivating.” Duffy said that the opportunity to travel sort of “fell into my lap,” but that it didn’t “come without hard work.” “What I could get out of it is just, life experiences and beautiful memories and returning home and being a completely different person,” Duffy said. “And how precious it is that Paul and Heather (chose me). The experience is going to change [my] life.” Word of the opportunity the Pluskas are now able to offer their employees

has spread, resulting in an unexpected benefit to the business. “I can say an added, unexpected thing happened with all this,” Pluska said. “I thought this would be a more internal thing; we were just doing it all for ourselves. But then someone found out and … business has gone up maybe 40 percent.” He added, “People are finding out and they’re wanting to support us even more because of what we’re doing for our employees.” Duffy said that the working environment is great, resulting in a low turnover rate and, instead of a large quantity of employees, a high quality of them. “I think it’s such a job that’s more than just a job,” Duffy said. “They pay us so well, they treat us so well. They really want us to be happy there, and they’re constantly saying that.” Hissung said one of the best parts about her job is the teamwork and camaraderie she has with her fellow employees. “The job here is definitely different than any other job I’ve had,” she said. “It’s a lot of hard work. It’s really fun though, and it’s a lot See CREPES, Page A10

Smile Partners hopes to hit the road Mobile dental services By LESLIE KELLY

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

An 11-year-old program that offers preventative dental hygiene to low-income children and seniors in the Puget Sound area is hoping to take their work on the road in their own mobile van soon. And by donating to them during the GreatGive on May 5, their goal of buying their own mobile dental-hygiene unit may come true. According to Executive Director Imbert Matthee, Smile Partners has already received a

$50,000 grant from Pacific Hospital Preservation & Development Authority towards the $75,000 budget for a dedicated dental hygiene van to serve schools in King and Kitsap counties. Smile Partners has also applied for additional grant money toward its goal. If additional grants are awarded, all funds raised through the GreatGive will be used to pay for treatment of low-income children who aren’t covered by insurance, or whose families can’t afford the co-pay for services they need. Matthee said in past years, Smile Partners has been able to set up its portable equipment to provide dental hygiene services

inside many schools. Recently, in many districts including the Bremerton Public Schools, rooms are not available due to increasing enrollments. Elementary schools have run out of room to set up portable classrooms and so Smile Partners has been bringing a mobile unit to serve its low-income students. A state-mandate to reduce class size will only add to the pressure for more space. “It’s been an issue for us at several schools,” Matthee said. “Without a place inside the schools to do the treatments, we’ve done the next best thing.” That has been to rent a dental van and drive it from school to school. But Smile Partners hopes to purchase its own van with the grant and with community support. The GreatGive is a oneday online giving campaign in Kitsap County where anyone can give money to their favorite charity. Donations given that day have the potential to multiply through several ways including sponsors who have already given a pool of money and prizes. Smile Partners itself has raised about $10,000 in challenge grants to double GreatGive and GiveBig (in King County) donations this year. The Medical Teams International van that Smile Partners rents is a fully-equipped dentistry van, which is more than what Smile Partners needs. So, getting a van and outfitting it for its specific needs is what they plan. They want to name it the Smile Coach and hope it will be in service by this

So they started Washington State Smile Partners, a Bainbridgebased organization that offers direct access and preventative dental care to low-income school children and seniors in King and Kitsap counties.

Partners has already served 7,600 patients in 77 schools across Kitsap and King counties, where at least half of its students receive free or reduced lunches. It also now provides services to seniors, patients with special needs and immigrants. Aaron Leavell, superintendent of the Bremerton School District, said he was pleased with the work Smile Partners has performed in the district. “I recommend Washington State Smile Partners to any community where the need can be met,” Leavell wrote in a recent letter. “This caring organization works closely with our school nurses

when the screenings indicate an immediate dental problem needs to be addressed. We truly consider Smile Partners and their staff a valuable partner that fits perfectly into our overall goal of keeping our students healthy and ready to learn.” On a yearly basis, Smile Partners provides oral screenings, cleanings, fluoride varnish applications, sealants and oral health instruction and referrals. One of their goals is to get every child connected to a “dental home” since its services do not take the place of regular dental visits. The organization’s purpose is to try to prevent tooth decay altogether and direct patients to private practices if additional work is needed. “What we’ve learned is that if we have a consistent presence in the schools from year to year, we have the good fortune of seeing many of the same patients,” said Matthee. “This concept of continuation of care is really important,” he said. “Good oral health at home and preventative hygiene in the schools make it conceivable for students to graduate from high school cavity-free as long as they are seen every year and that exams begin in preschool.” Tooth decay is an epidemic for children and especially children in low-income families, both Matthee and Mills noted. “Sometimes it’s just hard to find a dentist that will see low-income students,” Mills said. Smile Partners funds its services by pulling from three pots of income: Medicaid and private insurance reimbursements, a low co-pay and community support through campaigns like the GreatGive. “We’re based on being See SMILE, Page A11

West Sound Academy will establish tech center $36,000 grant POULSBO — West Sound Academy will use a $36,000 grant to create a technology center to expand Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) instruction for students and the community. Through developing partnerships with Kitsap Regional Library and

North Kitsap Parks and Recreation, students and adults will participate in new opportunities to explore robotics, 3-D modeling, digital art, and graphic design. According to the school, the anonymous grant will provide for a fleet of robots — from i-robots, Lego robots and VEX robots to the more humanoid Bioloid robots for more advanced programming and engi-

neering. Three-dimensional design offerings will be supported by a Cubify 3-D printer and a Cubify 3-D scanner. The Technology Center will provide a classroom space dedicated to problem solving, programming, making, and teamwork, the school reported. “While WSA students will enjoy its benefits throughout the school day, community classes and informal

learning events will be able to utilize the space after school hours. “West Sound Academy faculty and staff are excited at the prospect of providing space for the Kitsap Regional Library’s burgeoning technology programs, as well as enhancing its partnership with North Kitsap Parks and Recreation.” West Sound Academy will add STEAM classes to

its curriculum. “While WSA students have participated in various robotics competitions, the opportunities for learning will grow exponentially with the new equipment provided by the grant,” the school reported. “The 3-D printer and scanner will allow 3-D modeling students the chance to convert their electronic images into real-life objects, as well as reversing the pro-

cess to turn real objects into electronic images via 3-D scanning. Physics students will be able to expand and enhance their Underwater Remote Operating Vehicles and the student staff of WSA’s award-winning literary magazine, ‘Mud Pie,’ will enjoy new graphic design tools.” Barrie Hillman, the academy’s Head of School, received an excited

English language program gives ‘critical’ education

By MICHELLE BEAHM

mbeahm@northkitsapherald.com

POULSBO — The English Language Learner program is helping more than 200 students in the North Kitsap School District to become proficient in English not just conversationally, but academically, as well. Interim program direc-

tor Tom Wyman said conversational and academic English are “two different critters.” “(The program is) critical for kids to have success in meeting high school graduation requirements down the line,” Wyman said. “A lot of the kids can socialize. … They have enough English to do that. But classroom and education-

“Classroom and educational English and scientific English is much more difficult (than conversational).” — Tom Wyman, interim director ofthe English Language Learner program

al English and scientific English is much more difficult.” Kate Moriarty, who helps run the ELL program, said that the numbers of stu-

dents in the program is often changing as new students move to the district. Currently, she said about 75 percent are Spanish speakers, but the program also

has students whose first languages include Tagalog, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, Amharic and more. She also said that five years ago, the number of enrolled students was about half of what it is now. “Looks like it’s going to expand a little,” Moriarty said. “Not in terms of student numbers, because

those have already expanded, and we’re now trying to meet the needs of more of the students in more of the buildings on a regular basis. “Currently, the needs are being met by para(educator)s who have training in ELL, but we’re trying to also add in some certified, endorsed people to oversee the program and check in more often and make sure they’re getting the pieces they need with a little more awareness of what it means to learn a second language.” Moriarty works with the program part-time and at the district administration office the other part. Other than her, the program has “bits and pieces” of many paraeducators, totaling about two full time paraeducators, working with the program. But Moriarty and Wyman hope to increase the number of staff associated with ELL in the future. They also hope to add a parent liaison bilingual in English and Spanish for behind-the-scenes work such as calling parents when necessary or accepting calls from them when students are sick and won’t be in school. That task currently is handled by ELL educators working overtime in each building, Moriarty said. Every new student in the district is given a language survey when they’re registered, which includes questions about whether or not other languages are spoken at home, and if English is a second language. Based on those surveys, Moriarty gives assessment tests to new students who may need help learning academic English to determine if they qualify for the program, and at what level, out of five. Level one is little to no knowledge of English, level two is “beginner,” level three is “intermediate,” and levels four and five are advanced and proficient. After the students test out of the program, they are monitored for two years to ensure their success, Moriarty said. Wyman said about twothirds of the students in the program are categorized as level three. Moriarty said that they hope to adopt a standardized curriculum for the 2015-16 school year so that the same material is being See LANGUAGE, Page A17

Program teaches second language in kindergarten By MICHELLE BEAHM

North Kitsap School District offers a language learner program for students who wish to learn Spanish as a second language.

Continued from page A16 the ELL program districtwide. Wyman added, what is being taught is not dependent on grade level, but on the individual needs of the students. “If a student has no English whatsoever, their program is going to look different than a kid who has pretty good English, but needs a little help,” Wyman said. Most ELL teachers in the elementary and middle schools have gone through GLAD — Guided Language Acquisition and Development — training, which “is designed to help teachers be more effective

The Spanish Dual Language Program at Vinland Elementary School is available for kindergartners through fifth-graders. “They generally start at kindergarten and roll all the way through,” Heather Ben-Judah, office manag-

er at Vinland Elementary, said. Ben-Judah’s own son is a participant of the program, which currently can only accommodate 24 students per grade level. “It’s in pretty high demand,” Ben-Judah said.

“To teach them enough English to be able to function in society as a whole is absolutely critical.”

bigger, just because of the number of kids and the number of needs out there. “I think we’re going to be looking at next year and the years beyond because I don’t see that trend reversing itself,” he said. “So it will be a challenge.” Moriarty said, “A lot of the students come in and you learn conversational language within a year or two. It’s pretty quick to pick up English. But when you start getting into other academic language, things like ‘factor’ or ‘categorize,’ just words that we take for granted … they don’t have. “To teach them enough English to be able to function in society as a whole is absolutely critical.”

in working with kids with limited English proficiency,” Wyman said. The amount of time it takes for a student go from level one to level five also varies, but statistics show that it takes about five to seven years to become proficient in a second language, Moriarty said. Wyman said, “As I look ahead, I can see the program expanding, getting

“We have to do a lottery every year for the dual language program.” The program is formatted with both Spanish and English experts, according to Ben-Judah. She said that kindergartners through second graders only get

two days of Spanish instruction, which is increased as they get older. The first group of student participants went to middle school this year, Ben-Judah said. She said the middle school offers a Spanish class for those students.

“(The program) does two things: It teaches children a skill … and also, the diversity aspect,” BenJudah said. “I think that’s really great for students to all feel like part of a family, even though we’re not all the same.”

NKSD surplus bus auction May 15 POULSBO — The North Kitsap School District has 15 surplus buses in their transportation department. “They have basically gone off the depreciation schedule,” said one of the technicians in the transportation department. “They have engine, transmission, rear-end problems. It wouldn’t be cost-effective to repair them.” As these buses are sur-

plus, the district will not need to purchase new vehicles to replace them, though the technician said the district does buy new buses each year. Instead of keeping the surplus for eventual repairs that would cost more than the vehicles are worth to the district, there will be auctioning the vehicles off in a sealbid auction. Attendees will be invited to go look at the buses

and write down a bid, which will be sealed in an envelope and put in a box. After it’s over, the bids will be reviewed and the buses will be sold to the highest bidder. The auction will be May 15, and is open to the public. Anyone interested in attending the auction can call the NKSD transportation department at 360396-3099 for more information.

NK baseball team headed to playoffs And the Vikings are playing like they intend to be in the postseason By RICHARD WALKER

rwalker@northkitsapherald.com

POULSBO — It was a game similar to many in North Kitsap’s season. League leader North Kitsap (10-1, 13-1) trounced Bremerton (2-6, 4-8) 12-1 on April 27. North Kitsap scored 10 of those 12 runs in one inning — the fourth — and Bremerton was able to answer with only one run before the game ended on the mercy rule. Bremerton pitcher Taylor Saylor gave up 10 runs and 13 hits in 3 2/3 innings. North Kitsap’s Kole Milyard allowed three hits but held Bremerton scoreless in four innings. All told, T.J. Jensen was two for three with a triple and two runs; Leif Klinger was three for three with three RBI and a run; Nate Gowin, one for three with

A rare scene: North Kitsap’s Nash Gowin is tagged out at the plate by Sequim catcher Ian Dennis in the fourth inning of an Olympic League matchup on April 23. North Kitsap went on to topple Sequim 10-4. Matthew Nash / Sequim Gazette an RBI and a run; Kole Milyard, one for three with an RBI and a run; Connor Green, three for three with a run; Nate McCown had two runs and a stolen base; Tyler Trainer was two for two with an RBI and two runs; Zach Marcelino was one for two with an RBI and a run; Andrew Hecker was

one for two with a triple and a run; and Joey Regan scored a run. The top four teams in the Olympic League qualify for the West Central District Tournament on May 9, 13 and 16, with higher-seeded teams hosting games. Earlier, Sequim took the brunt of two defeats at the

Stellar stats for NK lacrosse team; so what went wrong? By RICHARD WALKER

rwalker@northkitsapherald.com

POULSBO — Check the stats. Of all teams that have played 10 games, midfielder Matt Dotterweich leads the Washington State High School Boys Lacrosse Association in points with 22 — an average of 2.2 per game (A player gets one point for each goal scored and one point for each assist). He’s first in assists, with 10; and second in goals, 12. That’s of all players from 70 teams in the 12-league WHSBLA. Senior midfielder Andrew Monlux is third in ground balls, with 48. Goalie Jack Carrasco is second in minutes played,

“We had a very humbling loss to Port Angeles a few weeks ago where we thought we had the game won before we even played,” Coach Joseph — Coach Joseph Bates Bates remarked. “It was a big slap in the 412; second in shots, 152; face when we lost 16-5. third in saves, 47; and third Ever since then, my guys have brought their game in save percentage, .309. Trevor Mays, Adam to a new level, playing with Wright and Joel Ingram more defensive intensity.

hands of the Vikings, who gave every intention that they expect to be at districts. Milyard tossed six strong innings and North Kitsap broke open a onerun game in the bottom of the sixth to knock off the Sequim Wolves 11-1 on April 20.

Evan Hurn and Tanner Rhodefer had two hits each for the Wolves, but Milyard held them in check as the host Vikings held a 2-1 lead going into the sixth. That’s when North Kitsap strung together six singles in seven at-bats to chase Rhodefer and a pair of relievers. On April 23, Hecker took the mound and kept Sequim in check for six innings, as the Vikings took advantage of four Sequim errors to upend the host Wolves 10-4. North jumped out to a 4-0 lead after the first inning but Sequim responded with three runs in the bottom of the second, getting RBI singles from Gavin Velarde and Dusty Bates. The Vikings, however, tallied two runs in the fourth inning and four in the fifth inning. Hecker struck out eight in the Viking win. North Kitsap statistician Virgil Taylor, who coached the Vikings from 1966 to 1993, said this is one of the strongest North Kitsap baseball teams he’s seen. And that’s saying a lot, considering the Vikings won

the state title in 1988, sent Aaron Sele to the Dodgers, and have gone to the state playoffs eight of the lastnine years. “First of all, our pitching is a lot better than we suspected it was going to be,” he said of this year’s team. “We knew we had two players who were good pitchers, but we ended up with a third starter, and we have three or four relievers that do a pretty good job too. “We’ve been hitting the ball really well and our scores are higher than normal — we’ve scored in double figures in numerous cases this year, which makes us very happy.” What makes the team click? “The players like one another,” Taylor said. “They’re good friends. They hang out together. Plus, we’re still young [as a team]. We have seven seniors but we have a lot of good juniors. Our junior class is our real strength. We’re looking for a good year next year.” North Kitsap travels to Olympic (7-1, 9-4) on May 1, then hosts Lynden at noon May 2.

Schwan finishes Boston Marathon in 3:31:55 By RICHARD WALKER

rwalker@northkitsapherald.com

BOSTON — Tenille Schwan, 36, of Kingston finished in the top half of runners in the 119th Boston Marathon, April 20. Four hours later, she and her fiance, Ik Icard, were on a plane to Mexico to be married. Schwan, winner of the 2014 Poulsbo Marathon, finished the 26.2-miler in Boston in 3:31:55. According to race statistics, 27,165 runners started the race, 26,610 finished. Schwan finished 10,764th overall. Of the 12,022 female finishers, Schwan finished 2,726th. Of 10,976 finishers age 18-39, she finished 2,133rd. The winner of the Boston Marathon was Lelisa

Desisa of Ethiopia, who finished in 2:09:17 to claim the $150,000 top prize. Caroline Rotich of Kenya was the top female finisher, with a time of 2:24:55. The Boston Marathon takes place on Patriots’ Day, the third Monday of April, a civic holiday commemorating the anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War. The first Boston Marathon was run in 1897, inspired by the success of the first modern-day marathon competition in the 1896 Summer Olympics. It is the world’s oldest annual marathon and ranks as one of the world’s best-known road racing events.

Tenille Schwan of Kingston finished the Boston Marathon in

3:31:55. Postmarathon, she and her fiance, Ik Icard, raced off to Mexico to get married. Schwan is the granddaughter of JacqueThornton, longtimecolumnist for the Kingston Community News.

Then, on April 25, a setback at Camas, where North Kitsap allowed seven unanswered goals in the first half en route to a 16-4 non-league loss.

The annual Renewal Powwow at the Suquamish Tribe’s House of Awakened Culture, April 24-26, was a feast for the senses. Red Hoop was the host drum, master of ceremonies Francis James kept the powwow moving with his trademark humor, and traditional dancers from indigenous nations across the United States and Canada competed in colorful and elaborate regalia, with most articles hand-beaded or hand-woven and, in many cases, handed down from generation to generation.

Scarlet Road organization restores hope at soiree By SOPHIE BONOMI Herald Correspondent

BAINBRIDGE — It was a gala of sorts. But it had a deeper meaning. And those who attended were asked, “If you had the opportunity and the tools to save a life, would you want to?” Supporters of Scarlet Road, a organization fighting against sexual exploitation and trafficking, gathered April 24 at the Bainbridge Island Museum to raise awareness and funding to help local survivors of exploitation and trafficking. “Tonight we want to enlighten your understanding of this severe issue and help change women’s lives,” said Rosie Ludlow, co-founder and director. “We want this evening to be a memorable one. We want to impact you through your hands, hearts and, most importantly, your wallets.” The organization’s leaders said studies show that 21,000 people are being exploited every year. The average age of exploited children is 13. Pimps see

The organization fights sexual exploitation and trafficking. vulnerability as an opportunity, especially in the younger victims. “Age, city, background all is irrelevant,” said Victoria Ahlfors, director of outreach at Scarlet Road. “Pimps resemble people like the girls’ fathers, boyfriends and peers — someone they could trust and experience love and accep-

tance from, sometimes for the first time.” “It all happens so fast. Before they know what’s going on, it’s too late,” she said. Recent studies show that 92 percent want out, but many don’t know where to turn, according to the organization. “There are many rea-

Pimps tell these girls when and what they can eat, where they can sleep and for how long, and who they can sleep with. They even control their bodily functions. When it comes

down do it, leaving is much scarier then staying.” Victims find it hard to trust, especially legal and service providers, because they have no idea how to help. “Up until recently, the only way for a woman to get help was to get arrested and charged with a crime, often times receiving judgement and being labeled as a ‘prostitute’ and a ‘druggie,’” said Jana Goyenechea, Scarlet Road’s director of trauma and aftercare. “Therefore these women have negative viewpoints of the value in the systems used to protect them.” She said victims “puff themselves up to protect themselves because they’re frustrated and feel like they have no one to trust.” Board member Darin Gemmer agreed. “I was a chaplain for the juvenile detention system,” he said. “I saw it first hand.” Once involved the sex industry, the average life expectancy is 17 years. A Canadian report showed victims with a mortality rate of 70 percent. Another

American hospital study showed 78 percent of victims had attempted suicide, with 18 percent resulting in death. Accor ding to Goyenechea, “Happy is not the common ending to this story.” For survivors, the road to recovery and wellbeing is long and hard. The scars of sexual exploitation are not physical, but mental. They suffer from extreme, complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, insomnia and hyper vigilance, among others, Scarlet Road officials reported. But they say they are dedicated to making a difference. “We are not heroes, saviors or miracle workers. But we want to stand as a foundation for those people who have lost their voice,” Ludlow said. Ahlfors said, “It’s all about relationships.” Scarlet Road works to create a longterm relationship with the survivor and

Junior handler wins top rank in division nationwide show; they only do certain things for certain people,” said Zuleger. It can often take months to years to be proficient in the show ring. Clagett has seen people having the desire to compete, but unable to get what he or she needs out of the dog, despite the time devoted in working with the dog. “It takes that natural instinct of understanding the dog,” said Clagett. Showmanship competitions occur year-round,

By LOUISA LEW

Herald Correspondent

POULSBO — During the weekdays, Matthew Zuleger is a mild-mannered eighth-grader at Woodward Middle School. During the weekends, Zuleger is a superstar in the dog show ring with his partner, three-year-old Lilith. In April 2014, Zuleger won the coveted national title of “American Kennel Club Number One-Ranked Junior Handler in [the] Cavalier King Charles Spaniels for 2014.” Zuleger has a natural love for dogs, being around his grandmother Maryln Lovell’s Cavaliers. Lovell owns and operates Emerald Isle Cavaliers on Bainbridge Island, where Zuleger has been helping with their care — grooming, feeding and training. Zuleger soon expressed interest in showing dogs, connecting with his mentor, Betsy Clagett, owner and operator of Tea Time Labradors and Cavaliers, who has been showing dogs since age 12, the same age Zuleger started. He began handling lessons in September 2013. Zuleger’s enthusiasm made him one of the quickest learners Clagett has ever taught, starting to win competitions only three months after he began training. To Clagett, it’s amazing to see the success Zuleger’s had with an untrained dog, and as an untrained handler, he’s embarking on a parallel path.

so Zuleger trains on a continual basis. Zuleger will have two to three training session per week in preparation of a competition; if there isn’t a show for another month, he will train once a week. Zuleger’s upcoming competitions: Spokane during Memorial Day weekend, Long Beach in June and Alaska in July; Zuleger heads to Elma this upcoming weekend. Cavalier Rescue plays a role in Zuleger’s life. Zuleger and Clagett, mem-

bers of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club of NW Washington, presented a $500 check to the American Cavalier King Charles Rescue Trust in early 2015. Zuleger is also learning to show other breeds; however, it is Lilith who remains in his heart. What Zuleger loves most about Lilith is her attitude and her commitment. Their unbreakable bond makes this team unstoppable.

Matthew Zuleger and Betsy Clagett accept an award at a dog show, with Lilith, Zuleger’s partner in the ring. Louisa Lew / For the Herald

Zuleger, a member of the Bainbridge Island 4-H Dog Project, received the Peninsula Dog Fancier’s Club Corona Rucker Coan Award for Outstanding Kitsap County 4-H’er in the Dog Project, in March of 2014, which included a $500 scholarship. Junior showmanship, strenuous in the fine technicalities of handling abilities, is a competition on handling skill, not the dog’s merits as a “show” dog. Per the American Kennel Club guidelines, what is judged is the handler’s abilities in the areas of proper breed presentation; skill in the dog’s presentation; knowledge of ring procedures;

and appearance and conduct. Clagett added the junior handler must “be able to show that extra something to set them apart.” Zuleger’s special flair: reading the dog to elicit a “happy dog with its tail in constant motion,” something that can’t be taught. Lovell said commitment to the dog is the biggest factor in a successful team. Zuleger joked that he is with Lilith 23 hours a day, a sentiment that illustrates the show relationship is based on the home relationship, particularly for the Cavalier breed. Cavaliers are “not just a dog you can hand off and

Preparation of an educational program for local junior high and high school health classes is a primary focus. “We’ve talked to Suquamish, Bremerton, Central and South Kitsap schools, so far no one has said no,” Ahlfors said. “My hope is to see that up and swinging by next year.” Scarlet Road has raised more than $17,000 for survivors. Proceeds will help fund program development as well as aftercare and staffing. In addition, the focus

will be on case management, the arts and yoga program to restore mental well being, and upcoming educational programs for local schools. “This is our first event of this nature, but not the last,” supporter Roman Goyenechea said. “These events are so important, they are a call to action. People need to know whats going on. Volunteers give a lot and can burn out quickly in this industry, they need back

up from the community.” Guests left with soiree bags including a commitment card, informational handouts and a functional memento keychain that was inclusive of flashlight, compass and safety whistle, together with a deeper understanding of the importance of these issues.

‘Complete Streets’ study topic of May 6 KCAC meeting KINGSTON — Kingston Complete Streets, a planning study conducted by Kitsap County Public Works, will be presented at a community forum during the Kingston Citizens Advisory Council meeting from 7-8:30 p.m. May 6 at the North Kitsap Fire & Rescue Paul T. Nichol Fire Station, 26642 Miller Bay Road, Kingston. The meeting and presentation are open to the public. County staff members and consultants will discuss the plan with local business owners and residents.

Attendees can share concerns and ideas for advancing development that benefits the community. Public Works will also review its Transportation Improvement Program at the meeting and provide information on how to submit project proposals, and how projects are evaluated, selected and prioritized. Kingston Complete Streets is a part of a national movement to promote accessibility for all users of local streets. According to Public Works, a growing num-

ber of communities in Washington state — especially those located along state highways — use “Complete Streets” as a tool to develop policies and ordinances related to transportation facilities, including roads and sidewalks. The Kingston Complete Streets plan encompasses the Kingston Urban Village Center from the ferry terminal to Lindvog Road and from Third Street to the Village Green off West Kingston Road. The scope of the project includes streetscape plan-

ning, design and maintenance that enables safe, convenient travel and access for users of all ages and abilities — including those using buses, bikes, wheelchairs and ferries. The final plan will include a report identifying specific projects prioritized for development and implementation. According to Public Works, the emphasis in the Kingston study is to identify issues and solutions within the public right-of-way, with a focus on potential redevelopment or new development of streets and side-

Kingston’s Fourth of July Celebration needs help By PETE DEBOER Special to the Herald

he big season is here. In just two months, Kingston will be packed with happy people celebrating the Fourth of July. Our Independence Day celebration is by far the biggest event of the year and highlights what a great port facility we have. For the past 10 or so years, the party has been coordinated by the non-profit corporation known as the Kingston Fourth of July Celebration.

This team manages the hiring of all the talent it takes to pull everything off and make sure that the insurance is paid and up to date. The volunteers begin planning for the next year’s event in November. Providing a safe parade, Tiny Town, local talent competition, a two-day musical festival in Mike Wallace Park and what many consider to be the best small-town fireworks display on Puget Sound takes a lot of planning and hundreds of hours of vol-

unteer “grunt” work. This festival also requires a substantial amount of funding to pay for bands, barges, tug boats, security, sound management and, of course, the fireworks show. The people of our town have always been very generous is supporting the Fourth of July Celebration and many other projects here. That is one of the things that make Kingston such a great place to live. Prior to the recession of 2009, the committee usually ended each year

with a comfortable cushion in the bank in case next year’s campaign fell short. Well, for the next four years, they did fall short. Nowthe team is trying to put together another great party for our town and those who visit each year on the 4th. They come because of what we have had here over the past decades. Unfortunately, some of the larger businesses that use to support the 4th in a big way are not in business any more or are running leaner. The fact is, the

walks; evaluation of parking demand and available facilities; conceptual design of a pedestrian mall and streetscape improvements; consideration of a potential transfer of development rights; opportunities for stormwater improvements; and modeling operational designs for the realignment of State Route 104. MacLeod Record, a planning and landscape architecture firm, was contracted to complete the study. Consultants there are working with county transportation planners and an adviso-

ry group of local business and property owners. This is the first public meeting for the group to present its findings thus far. A second public meeting will be scheduled late fall. The Complete Streets program is administered through the Puget Sound Regional Council. PSRC awarded Kitsap County a grant to conduct the study. To review the county’s Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program, go to www.kitsapgov.com/pw/ sixyear_tip.htm.

entire celebration is in serious jeopardy if significant funding does not materialize within the next month. The Fourth of July is the biggest party our town has each year and on behalf of the Kingston Fourth of July Celebration, I am asking everyone to see what they can do to make generous contributions to ensure that the tradition can continue. Scott Anderson of Windermere Real Estate is the chairman of the committee and he would be more than happy to talk to you about what is needed and how to help. There are several ways to contribute. Of course, there are jars all over

the place for your spare change. You can also put checks in those too. The committee also has a website — kingston 4thofjuly.com — where contributions can be made and information can be found. I am confident that our town’s citizens and business owners will rally to make sure that not only down at the port but all over town, the Kingston 4th of July Celebration will be another great event. This year’s theme: Let Freedom Ring. — Pete DeBoer is a Port of Kingston commissioner. Contact him at pete@petede boer.com.

Students participate in ‘exhilarating’ music contest “It’s such an honor to be able to sing there. It’s a really good feeling. You feel pretty confident walking around there.”

POULSBO — When North Kitsap High School freshman Ryan Shane stood up in front of a crowd of people recently, he was so nervous, his knees were shaking. But, he said, when he started singing, his nerves “just went away.” When it was senior Vivian Carson’s turn to perform, her stage fright meant playing flute in front of the judges and crowd was a “big accomplishment for me.” Shane, Carson and more than 30 other students from North Kitsap High School spent April 24-25 in Ellensburg, competing in the Washington Music Educators Association’s

— Kelly Lanzafame, North Kitsap High School Senior

North Kitsap High School sent 32 choir students and two band students to the Washington Music Educators Association state solo and ensemble contest April 24-25. Michelle Beahn / North Kitsap Herald state solo and ensemble competition. Thirty-two choir students went, including soloists Shane and senior Kelly Lanzafame. Carson and senior Katherine Shafer were the only two band students from NKHS who

qualified for state this year. “It was a really fun experience,” Carson said, “especially since I used to have pretty bad stage fright. But it was good to finally make it to state one year.” Shafer, who played tenor saxophone at the contest,

said, “It was a really big deal for me because I’ve only been taking lessons for a year and a half. “I just didn’t think I was going to go anywhere or achieve anything,” she added. “It was really cool to be able to go to state and get really good scores, and the competition was fierce, but it was a really good learning experience and I would do it again.” Aside from the choir soloists, four choir ensembles also performed at the state competition. The mixed ensemble, the women’s ensemble, the men’s ensemble and a quartet competed at state level. Three of them got perfect

scores. Choir director Sylvia Cauter said, “It just means that they have spent hours and hours of hard work and dedication. … It’s a huge accomplishment, because they’re being recognized for that hard work and the ton they’ve done.” Lanzafame participated in the contest as a soloist for the third year in a row. The first year, she said she placed third in her alto division. Last year, she was awarded first place. This year, she repeated the feat by winning first place again. “She’s amazing,” Cauter said. “Her voice is so mature, and people can’t even believe she’s 18 years

old.” Lanzafame said competing is “an honor.” “It’s such an honor to be able to sing there,” she said. “It’s a really good feeling. You feel pretty confident walking around there.” The competition, she said, was fierce. “They’re so amazing,” Lanzafame said of everyone who made it to state. “Everyone who goes to state obviously is really good, so it’s just, you’re surrounded by really good people.” Shafer said, “Playing at state and All Northwest (Regional Contest) were probably the best experiences ever, because your musicality just grows exponentially.” Shane said, of the experience, “It was exhilarating, but kind of overwhelming at first, because … everybody is there for a reason. There, everybody is good.” Cauter said that she’s not usually “a fan of music competitions, except for the fact that it’s a motivator.” “There’s something about when you compete that students, I think, tend to like that sense of competition,” Cauter said. “And it motivates them to work even harder. “If it motivates the kids, then it’s a great thing.”
