‘I thought it was a bomb’
Gas leak causes explosion; levels part of Motel 6 on Kitsap Way BY CHRIS TUCKER AND PETER O’CAIN CTUCKER@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM POCAIN@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
BREMERTON – An acrid smell of smoke filled the air near Motel 6 in Bremerton as firefighters and other emergency personnel dealt with an explosion that partially destroyed the building around 8:30 p.m. Aug. 18. The acting hotel manager, Tonya Hinds, evacuated the building after being informed of a gas leak shortly before 8 p.m. Hinds, a former volunteer firefighter, said she stepped outside the motel and could hear the leak about 50 yards away. “The smell was so intense I knew this was very big,” Hinds said. “I called 911 immediately.” “I wanted to make sure all my guests were out,” she said. About 10 minutes after the rooms were emptied, the east end of the motel exploded, Hinds said. Bremerton Police Chief Steve Strachan said there were no reports of anyone trapped inside. One employee from Cascade Natural Gas was critically injured with second- and third-degree burns and flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. “Our thoughts and prayers are with our employee and his family. He sustained serious injuries and is receiving care at Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center,” said Eric Martuscelli, vice president of operations for Cascade Natural Gas. “We greatly appreciate the quick action by the motel employees to evacuate guests after learning of the natural gas odor.” Hinds said the motel had 75-80 guests in 42 occupied rooms, and the blast destroyed about one-quarter of the building. Hinds said one guest may have seen someone jumping out of a window of the three story motel just before the leak. Firefighters from Bremerton, South Kitsap, Central Kitsap and

Navy Fire responded to the scene. After the explosion, hundreds of people lined the streets near the motel to watch firefighters deal with the night time destruction. Among them was Johnathan Davis, who lives near the motel on Charleston Avenue. Davis said he was cooking hamburger around 8 p.m. when the explosion happened “Boom! I thought, ‘Damn. Earthquake!” Davis said. “I was jumping.” He ran outside and toward the motel and saw a big fire, he said. “The car wash is gone,” he said. SEE EXPLOSION, A7

Silverdale has ‘delicious H2O,’ TV host says BY CHRIS TUCKER CTUCKER@CENTRALKITSAPREPORTER.COM
SILVERDALE – The high quality of Silverdale’s water was touted on the television morning talk show “LIVE with Kelly and Michael” Aug 13. Show hosts Busy Phillips and Michael Strahan taste-tested five glasses of water that had been featured as “America’s Top 10 Tapwater Cities” in a magazine called Rodale’s Organic Life. Water from five cities was tested on the show: Denver, Greenville, South Carolina, Louisville, Kentucky, New York City and Silverdale. The five samples of water were labeled with numbers, but the cities associated with the numbers were not known to the hosts during the taste test.
Strahan tasted glass No. 1 – which was Silverdale’s water – and said, “Mmm, that’s some delicious H2O.” “One is good,” agreed Phillips. She added that glass No. 2 – from Greenville, South Carolina – was “almost exactly the same” and said glass No. 3 – from New York City – was “much like two and one.” After sampling all the glasses of water, the two hosts selected their favorites. Strahan had selected Silverdale as his favorite, while Phillips had preferred Louisville’s water. In addition to the water from the five cities featured on the show, the magazine included five more cities on its unranked list: Chicago, Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Manchester, New Hampshire, Fort Collins, Colorado, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

New owners for Hudson Photo Studio seeks to give negatives away BY CHRIS TUCKER CTUCKER@CENTRALKITSAPREPORTER.COM
BREMERTON – After 35 years running Hudson Photographic Artistry, Rex-Zane Rudee is ready to move on to other projects. Rudee sat in his nearly empty studio Aug. 18 as furniture and photographic equipment was muscled from the studio, located at 321 Pacific Ave., and into a pickup truck. The photo business will continue – Rudee sold it to new owners Joann and Ryan Hatch, who are taking over. The Hatches are running Hudson’s at a new address, 4545 Auto Center Way, in

Hudson Photographic is giving away old photos going back to the 1970s. Bremerton. The new location provides easier access for clientele, many of whom come from all over the county. Rudee is a big fan of downtown Bremerton. But he said he’s had to explain to customers exactly how to find their way to the old location. Rudee is the third owner of the studio. John Hudson opened the studio in 1946 and then sold the business to Wallace “Bud” Smith in the 1960s. Rudee purchased it in the early 1980s. The studio has changed locations several times in the past: it used to be located near where Denney’s is today, along Wheaton Way. Also it had been located above where the Evergreen Trophies shop is now. It has been at 321 Pacific for the past 33 years. “We had two trips to the dump already,” Rudee said, referencing the few remaining bits of studio equipment remaining in the spacious, three-story studio. “We had 33 years and 9,000 square feet of stuff ” to deal with. In a previous life, the building had been used for Kate’s Music, where people could listen to records in special listening rooms and learn to play
drums in the basement. Rudee said he used to quiz visitors on what they thought the building was used for prior to being a photo studio. He would take them to the drum room, where sound insulation on the walls provides a hint. Uniquely, there’s a old wooden hand-powered elevator that connects all three floors. Riders on the elevator must pull a long, two-inchthick rope that snakes its way up to a giant ceiling-mounted pulley. Rudee said downtown Bremerton changed a lot over the years, especially when Sears and JC Penney moved to Kitsap Mall. Rudee has several shelves of photographic negatives and prints going back to the 1970s – weddings, portraits, school photos and more. He is giving them away to families who are pictured in the image collection, or anyone else who wants them. Call 360-710-9649 to contact Rudee to pick up the photos. Making those images over the decades has allowed Rudee to live a good life, he said, and raise a family. “Bremerton’s been great to me,” he said.

Man arrested after swallowing meth tells officer he’s ‘pretty high already’ BREMERTON – A Port Orchard man was charged with possession of a controlled substance (heroin) and tampering with physical evidence after he swallowed a baggie of methamphetamine following a traffic stop Aug. 9. A Bremerton police officer stopped a vehicle being driven by
Weston Joseph Broussard, 44, of Port Orchard, along Olympic Avenue in Bremerton around 7:36 p.m. Broussard had a felony warrant for his arrest for escape from community custody. As the officer approached the vehicle he observed Broussard allegedly try to swallow a baggie of methamphetamine. The officer told him to spit out the bag but Broussard refused. The officer attempted to
handcuff Broussard but Broussard resisted and the officer told him he would be tased. Broussard, who did not want to be tased, relented but managed to swallow the bag. “I advised Broussard that he was going to be taken to the hospital to have his stomach pumped, due to the fact that he had ingested methamphetamine,” the officer wrote in the report. “Broussard told me at that time
“Broussard told me at that time that he was ‘pretty high already’ and indicated that little bit he swallowed wouldn’t do anything to him.” – Bremerton Police report that he was ‘pretty high already’ and indicated that little bit he swallowed wouldn’t do anything to him.”
Police obtained a search warrant and found other drugs in Broussard’s vehicle.
Bremerton Symphony appoints new executive director BREMERTON – When Anna James Miller accepted the position of director of the Bremerton Symphony it became clear to the community orchestra that she was the right person for the job. “Her energy and expertise in marketing and fundraising will be sure to enhance the momentum that the symphony is experiencing as it heads toward its 75th anniversary,” said Anita Williams, president of the symphony’s
board of directors. Miller, 32, said she is “thrilled to join this wonderful organization, and excited to be working in partnership with Music Director Alan Futterman and a hardworking board of directors to find innovative new ways to share music with our region.” Miller said her top priorities for her first year on the job included “deepening relationships with community
partners and building the orchestra’s new Metronome Membership program.” Miller has now been with the symphony for about three weeks. She was hired after interim director Matthew Blegen departed in May to pursue his career as a musician and conductor. Miller is a former professional ballet dancer with over a decade of non-profit leadership and arts program develop-
ment experience. Miller was recognized by Wenatchee Business World as a “30 Under 35 Best and Brightest of 2012,” and was recently recognized by South Puget Sound Business Examiner as a “40 Under 40 Business and Community Leader of 2015.” Miller lives in Federal Way with her husband, Bryan, who is a working visual artist and arts instructor.
CKSD board discusses STEM grants and budgets BY CHRIS TUCKER CTUCKER@CENTRALKITSAPREPORTER.COM
The Central Kitsap School District board of directors discussed a range of issues from science and technology grants to safety at an Aug. 12 meeting: The first grant, worth $900,000, is an Office of Naval Research program that teaches STEM through aviation lessons. It is designed for students in grades 9-12 from 2015-2018. It includes teacher training and two high school aviation classrooms. The second is a $1.5 million Department of Defense Education Activity grant for students in grades 3-8. The five-year grant aims to make students “future ready” with a focus on English, science and technology and includes Linux Chromebook computer carts. District improving ‘sight lines’ for safety To boost safety at district schools, the school held an “active shooter” exercise earlier this year. It has also taken steps to improve “sight lines” at the schools by trimming foliage on school grounds so that it is easier to see who is approaching the school. Inside, school hallways should ideally offer a straight line of sight, although in practice this is not easy to accomplished due to the layout of some buildings. Schools are limiting access points of entry so that all students and visitors can be clearly monitored. “One of the paramount things that we do is try to keep
our kids as safe and secure as possible,” said Joe Vlach, CKSD director of operations. The schools also plan to upgrade their 1990s-era security cameras with newer ones. Also, the district plans to repair dilapidated fencing, as fencing decreases the odds someone will walk across school property without being seen. Less important doors will be locked, requiring that teachers carry more keys. A notification system was installed in buildings this summer. The system allows law enforcement to be contacted immediately without calling 911 by pressing special buttons. Vlach said the new Bud Hawk Elementary school was a model school for security. “Bud Hawk, from a CPTED (Crime Protection Through Environmental Design) standpoint, that is how you want to do it: One vestibule, great visibility. You actually see the playground and it makes it easier and safer for staff that they can visually monitor the parking [and] they can monitor student access,” Vlach said. Legislature adds $10.1 million to CKSD’s budget Everything is going reasonably swell with the district’s $128 million budget. This year the district will have around 10,732 students. That number is projected to gradually drop to 10,643 students by 2022. Revenue is funded 70.5 percent by the state, 9.5 percent from the Federal government and 20 percent from local taxes. Expenditure-wise, 82 per-
cent of spending is for staff salaries and benefits and 18 percent is for materials, supplies, and operating costs. The state Legislature increased district revenue by $10.1 million. Of that, $3.3 million will go toward materials and supplies for students, $2.7 million for 3 percent costof-living adjustment raises, $1.7 million for retirement benefits, $1.5 million for allday kindergarten, $611,000 for smaller K-3 class sizes and $250,000 for K-3 high poverty classes. The Legislature also funded all-day kindergarten for all CKSD schools except for Brownsville Elementary and Emerald Heights Elementary. District considers waiving some PE requirements for athletes The district is looking at allowing a physical education waiver for students involved in Washington Interscholastic Activities Association-approved athletics. Students in such sports could waive up to one full credit of two required physical education class credits. The waiver would apply to WIAA-approved sports such as soccer or baseball, but not activities like cheerleading, band or ballet. Because one credit is then freed-up, students would be able to pursue elective classes, or make up for a class that they didn’t do well in, which could be especially helpful when the school shifts to a 24-credit requirement. Knute Anderson residents object to proposed sidewalk
at Silverdale Elementary Pete Wimmer stressed again that he and other residents along Knute Anderson Road NW were unhappy with the changes the district is making as part of its renovation of Silverdale Elementary. Wimmer said residents objected to
a planned sidewalk that would connect the school to Knute Anderson Road. He said the speed limit was 25 mph but said people often drive faster, making it a dangerous road for school children. Wimmer said dust from the project was also ticking-off residents.

t seems like the Kitsap County Fair & Stampede comes just when we need it most. With summer racing past and a school year racing toward us, with elections behind us and before us, with wildfires and Donald Trump dominating our headlines and demanding our time, we need the fair. This annual event grounds us. It brings us home to what’s most important: Our shared identity and our sense of community. It’s a time for us to play together, to be creative, and to compete as well as cheer for our neighbors. It’s a time for us to take comfort that we can still produce sustenance from the soil. All of it plays out at the Kitsap County Fair. The theme of this year’s fair, Aug. 26-30, is “Hay! It’s Kitsap Fair & Stampede Time.” And indeed it is. Tens of thousands of people attend the annual fair and enjoy full days of excitement, entertainment and friendly competition. The fair is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. Carnival hours are longer. Xtreme Bulls competition is 7 p.m. Aug. 26. The PRCA Rodeo is 7 p.m. Aug. 27-29. The Destruction Derby begins at noon Aug. 30. Season pass tickets are available now at Kitsap Bank branches in Kitsap County. Unlimited ride bands are available at Burger King locations in Kitsap for $26. (We recommend riding the Zipper first, then indulging in that elephant ear.) The fair’s stages will feature the best of local entertainment. On the Geico Local Office Stage immediately after the Xtreme Bulls competition, catch headliner The Marshall Tucker Band (“Can’t You See,” “Heard it in a Love Song”). The Southern rock/country rock group has had five gold albums and two platinum albums Once again, 4-H members will command the spotlight, as they deserve. Most 4-H’ers spend the year preparing for the fair, producing arts and crafts, preserving food, growing crops, honing their horseback riding and photography skills, and spinning and weaving. County fairs have always been showcases of our talents, our progress, our innovation. Don’t miss the county’s best this year. Check out our fair guide in this week’s edition of Kitsap Weekly.

What’s really sad about the Nature Valley video Nature Valley, the granola company, put out a new video—a “chilling” video according to many people—this summer as part of their #rediscovernature campaign. In it, an off-camera voice asks three generations of people some variation of the same question: “When you were young, what did you do for fun?” One of my favorite responses comes from an elderly man who recounts having a basket full of fish and seeing a black bear. He decided that if the bear started chasing him, he would “keep throwing the fish out of my basket until [the bear’s] gorged and he won’t bother me.” There is no mention of where the man’s parents were at the time. In a different interview, a woman talks about building “massive forts … the kind you can sit in” with her friends, and a grown man says he liked to go door-to-door and round up all the neighborhood kids for a game of hide-and-seek or baseball. Another elderly man remembers fashioning his own, possibly dangerous, toboggan that was “very slick and very fast.” Again, there is no mention of parents. Then the interviewers turn to
Navy Wise
Sarah Smiley today’s children and ask what they do for fun. As you might expect, the kids only list tablets, video games and other handheld devices. There are no dangerous escapades or unleashed afternoons roaming the neighborhood streets. And their parents and grandparents, the ones who were interviewed earlier, are sad about that. The Internet’s response to this video was also sad – and swift. I saw it reposted in my Facebook newsfeed at least a couple dozen times. People bemoaned our electronics-obsessed youth and the fact that kids today have no sense of adventure. Now let me tell you about something that happened this weekend.
We were visiting my parents’ lake house, and I was still inside getting into my bathing suit and sunscreen. Unbeknownst to me, Ford, almost 15, and Owen, almost 13, went outside and got in the lake by themselves. They were swimming by the wooden floating dock a hundred feet off shore. The dock has a rustic, splintered ladder for climbing out of the water, and at some point, Ford had the brilliant idea to jump off it. Only, Ford didn’t just want to jump off the ladder’s steps; he wanted to climb up onto the makeshift “hand railing,” which is also rustic and splintered, and actually isn’t a hand railing at all. It’s the two-by-fours that make the sides of the ladder and stick up out of the water. Ford planned to put one foot on the narrowest end of one two-byfour, and one foot on the other. He was going to balance there KarateKid-style until he jumped backward into the lake. Things didn’t go as planned. As soon as Ford was “balanced” on one “hand rail” and lifted his left foot to place on the other, he fell backwards. Which should have been fine since there was only a lake behind him, but Ford’s outstretched
“Then the interviewers turn to today’s children and ask what they do for fun. As you might expect, the kids only list tablets, video games and other handheld devices.” leg landed on the hand rail first, and then it violently slid down the side, scrapping off skin as it went. When Ford came inside to show me, he already had a grapefruit-size bruise on the back of his thigh. And Owen trailed behind him, almost unable to talk he was laughing so hard about what he’d just witnessed. Trust me, I know, it could have been much worse. In fact, it very easily could have been. I saw visions of Ford’s head hitting the dock, or him breaking his leg and being unable to swim when he landed in the lake. And, of course, the first thing I did was yell at both boys for getting in the water before I was outside. But watch people’s reactions to this story. Pay attention to the comments. I can already guess what they will be: “I can’t believe she let her kids go near the water by themselves.” “How stupid was her son to attempt such a thing?”
“Why wasn’t she watching them?” The commenters might as well just say, “Why weren’t these boys inside playing video games, where they’d at least be safe?” You see, I don’t think kids have really changed at all. They are still full of (sometimes) reckless adventure. They would go fishing and risk being chased by a bear … if their parents would let them. They would go doorto-door and round up neighborhood kids … if their parents would let them. They would make dangerous, slick toboggans … if they didn’t have to sled with their parents and wear a helmet. So when you feel sad about Nature Valley’s video, stop and ask yourself: can a generation of kids who have never known fishing by themselves really be to blame for the fact that a generation of grown-ups who came home when the street lights came on won’t let their own kids do the same?
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Rifle club needs to prevent bullets from leaving range While a preliminary injunction against shooting at the Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club has been in place since 24 April, the Kitsap County Superior Court (Judge Roof) was to have addressed the declaratory relief and permanent injunction on 24 August. As of Thursday, 13 August, the prosecutor has delayed this hearing to 16 November, ostensibly to allow the County to effect some ‘compromise’ with
the KRRC. Recent events in county policy indicate that the county – at least Commissioner Ed Wolfe and Prosecutor Tina Robinson – intend to effect some deal with the Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club allowing them to resume shooting operations in the near future. We believe that this would entail resumption of shooting without having installed sufficient physical infrastructure to prevent bullets from leaving their shooting range. This is very troubling since the Pierce County Superior Court (Judge Susan Serko) determined in her 9 February 2012, findings of
fact, conclusions of law and orders that: “The County produced evidence that bullets left the range based on bullets lodged in trees above the berms.” “The Court … finds that more likely than not, bullets escaped from the Property’s shooting areas and that more likely than not bullets will escape the Property’s shooting areas and will possibly strike persons or damage private property in the future.” “The Court finds that KRRC’s range facilities are inadequate to contain bullets to the Property …”
I think that you and your editors will agree that any resumption of shooting at the KRRC without first installing sufficient physical infrastructure improvements to prevent bullets from leaving their range, contrary to the requirements of the ordinance enacted last December, may potentially again endanger residents of the surrounding community and those using the Newberry Hill Heritage Park. – Kevin Gross, Bremerton.
Public schools bearing heavy burdens as lawmakers figure things out
BY JERRY CORNFIELD EVERETT HERALD
Public schools are not just underfunded by the state as Washington’s Supreme Court has made abundantly clear. Most of them are also failing, according to the federal government. Parents of elementary and secondary students across the state are receiving letters this month explaining why their child attends a school deemed failing by the U.S. Department of Education. These letters, which already went out in Everett and Edmonds school districts, offer parents a chance to transfer their child to a non-failing school in their district, if one exists, and to obtain tutoring if their family qualifies. Roughly 90 percent of the state’s
2,300 schools must send out these letters. It’s punishment for not complying with a provision in the federal No Child Left Behind Act requiring every student meet state standards in math, reading and English language. This was all kind of a big deal a year ago and has not made as much a stir this summer. Remember Washington began 2014 with a waiver from the federal education law’s stringent rules. It then lost it. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan had warned he would revoke the waiver unless state law was changed to require the use of student test scores in evaluating teachers. That set off a fierce fight involving lawmakers, Gov. Jay Inslee and Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn. Most Democrats and a few Repub-
lican lawmakers opposed the change. So, too, did the Washington Education Association, the powerful statewide teacher’s union. Inslee and Dorn met with Duncan in Washington, D.C. to gauge his resolve. They returned with determination to preserve the waiver, crafting what they hoped to be a compromise bill. It never earned a vote. After Duncan kept his word and yanked the waiver, 1,916 schools sent out the so-called failing school letters. Only 260 schools didn’t because their students met the standards. Among them were Cedar Wood Elementary in Everett, Index Elementary School, Heritage High School in Tulalip and Lincoln Academy in Stanwood. The letters are attracting less attention this year. That’s partly due to the commo-
tion caused by the Supreme Court’s $100,000-a-day fine against the state for lawmakers not turning in a plan to ensure ample funding for schools by a 2018 deadline. Another reason is that lawmakers, the governor and state schools chief did not battle as long or as loudly on getting the waiver back in the long legislative session. Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, did push a bill to revise the teacher evaluation system. It never gained traction as complying with McCleary grabbed his colleagues focus. Then interest waned as a rewrite of the No Child Left Behind law drafted by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., made its way through the Senate. As written it would do away with waivers – and the letters would stop – if it reaches the president’s desk.
Still, sending out the letters really torques Dorn. On Monday, when he released results of Smarter Balanced Assessments, he declared that while there continues to be gaps in achievement among ethnic groups at each grade level, overall “learning actually went up. The rigor actually went up.” Those letters express a different message and one that can cause unnecessary confusion and worry for parents, he said. But like underfunding, they’re a burden borne by public schools until those making the laws figure things out. Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet.com.

Man caught after two-day search BY PETER O’CAIN POCAIN@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
BREMERTON — Following a two-day search, Bremerton Police arrested a 29-yearold Belfair man on Aug. 16 in connection with a domestic violence assault. Police said Richard R. Robson broke into his 24-year-old ex-girlfriend’s apartment at the 2500 block of Fir Avenue late Aug. 13 and then violently assaulted her when she came home from work. According to reports, Robson threw the woman to the ground and then placed a pillow over her mouth his his right hand and strangled her with his left hand. He reportedly told her “I’m going to kill you bitch. Today is your death day.” She told police she came close to passing out, but never lost consciousness. She fought back and loosened his grip and then screamed for help. Robson allegedly threatened her again, saying “If you scream one more time I will make sure I kill you.”
T h e w o m a n promised not to scream a g ai n an d then Robson released his grip and Richard R. allowed her Robson to sit on a couch. When she attempted to call 911, Robson knocked her to the ground and began strangling her again, police said. As he did, a vehicle drove up to a parking area near the home; at which point, he left through a window, according to reports. The woman had a valid order of protection of out Kitsap County against Robson prior the assault and had only lived in the apartment a few days. She told police she doesn’t know how Robson found her. Robson is being held at Kitsap County Jail on $100,000 bail. He faces charges of burglary in the first degree, assault in the second degree, violation of a court order and felony harassment.

EXPLOSION CONTINUED FROM A1
“I walk past it every day,” he said of the motel. Domico Hutson, who was visiting at a residence along Charleston Avenue, said the whole house shook. “I thought it was a bomb or something,” Hutson said. “The part of that ‘L’ is gone,” Hutson said of the “L”-shaped motel. “The part you see right now is all that stands at that building,” he said of the longer line of the “L.” The short part was destroyed. Randy Reite, who lives on Ford Avenue just a couple of blocks from the motel, said the explosion “Sure shook the house” at around 8:15 p.m. Reite was listening to the police scanner at the time of the explosion. He said the scanner traffic indicated the gas company had been working on a problem with a gas smell at the hotel for about an hour. Then he heard that firetrucks had been dispatched to the motel. Then came the explosion. “It was a pretty good explosion,” he said. Reite said homes right across the street from the motel had their windows blasted out. Two guests missing, but probably OK Police are actively looking for two missing motel guests, said Bremerton Police Department Capt. Tom Wolfe. “We did a phone ping on one of the two missing and it came up … far from here. So that’s a good sign for us.” Another good sign is that vehicles associated with the missing people were not parked at the motel, and search and rescue hasn’t found any victims yet. “I’m keeping my fingers crossed, but it’s looking good that we got everybody out,” Wolfe said. Wolfe said detectives were going through security video footage of the incident.
“Someone’s helping them go through that right now. They should have a pretty definitive idea of what happened to that (gas) meter and how it got broken,” Wolfe said. Wolfe addressed Internet rumors that had been going around. “Last night there was three different kind of rumors flying around on what happened. One was a girl jumped out the window and broke the meter. One was that a woman in a white Ford Explorer was outside beating on the pipe, and another was that they hit it with a car. “As we ran it all down we did substantiate that a girl did jump out of a window last night,” at the motel during a domestic violence situation that police were already responding to. Police found the woman and interviewed her. “So the scaling-the-pipe thing might have some credence to it, or it’s just a variation of bits and pieces people are hearing.” Wolfe said his understanding is that the gas meter was just like the kind you’d find outside a normal home. “That was on fire for hours last night,” he said of the meter. When asked if there was anything else that people should be aware of, Wolfe philosophized a bit and said, “I think (people) should all be kind to each other. I think everyone should slow down when they drive and use your blinkers and check your smoke alarms.”

Motel clerk describes what happened Motel 6 clerk Tonya Hinds was working at the front office Aug. 18 when someone told her there was a gas leak. She went to inspect the line, located on the southeast corner of the motel, and didn’t see the ruptured line, but she could hear the sound of the escaping gas and smelled a strong odor. “We had 42 rooms occupied,” Hinds said of the motel’s occupancy. “There were proba-

bly 75-80 guests altogether in those rooms.” She knew that some of the motel guests were smokers. She called the fire department, but by the time they arrived, Hinds had a bad feeling about the situation. “I just saw it becoming a bad situation if we didn’t get control of everybody and get everybody out. It was just a gut instinct I think. It just kept telling me, ‘Just pull that alarm. Don’t even take time to knock on doors.’ I don’t remember if I was talking with 911 or who I was talking to … I said, ‘I’m going to evacuate my building right now. I don’t feel good about this.’” She pulled the alarm. “I ran out in the parking lot. The
strobes went off – it’s very loud (the alarm). And I just told everybody ‘I want everybody out.’ People wanted to go back, I said, ‘No, I just want everybody out into the upper parking lot away from the building right now.’” “[We are] just blessed by God that it just all went the way that it did. Everybody followed instructions and did what they were supposed to do.” Hinds teared up a little as she spoke about the motel guests. She said she was happy everyone was OK. “My guests were tremendous … I’m just happy to see their smiling faces and their children.” “It’s a sad but good day.” Hinds said that earlier in her life she was a volunteer firefighter and first responder. Then, she put out a van fire and saved some people involved in a wreck.

This is my community,” Hinds said. Hinds said she had heard of Internet rumors that someone may have ruptured the gas line when they climbed the side of the building, but she couldn’t confirm that rumor. Displaced guests Warren Henry, 59, was spending his first night in the motel. He’d just moved to Bremerton from Yuma to begin a new construction job at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor. He packed a

Henry said he was watching TV in his motel room when he began drifting in and out of consciousness.

Standing barefoot on the street, Henry watched the east end of the motel explode and envelope the Cascade Natural Gas employee. “I’m watching it and there was a dude standing on the retaining wall,” Henry said. “It exploded and he disappeared. “I can’t believe I just watched a guy blow up like that.” Jeff Jackson was visiting the U.S. from Brisbane, Australia.

Search and rescue dogs on the scene Bob Calkins was working with his search and rescue dog “Magnum” at the scene Aug. 19. He said the dogs hadn’t
found any signs of potential victims, but noted that they could only search a limited portion of the building due to the extent of the damage. Calkins said that despite the strong smell of smoke, the dogs could still sniff out trapped people. “It’s amazing. When you go into a pizza parlor, you smell pizza. When a dog goes into a pizza parlor they smell, pepperoni, marinara, the dough. They can separate odors in the same way you and i would look at something and separate colors. So they can actually very easily smell through that,” Calkins said.

Park clean-up crew to be recognized by mayor Aug. 28
Chamber hosts afer-hours networking
BREMERTON – A neighborhood group that cleaned up Lower Rota Vista Park will be recognized by Mayor Patty Lent and Bremerton Parks Director Wyn Birkenthal at a special ceremony on Friday, Aug. 28, at 11 a.m. The event will take place at the park, which is tucked away at the end of Elizabeth Avenue near Bremerton’s Evergreen Park. Prior to the clean-up, the park had been trashed and vandalized by drug users and others. One of the attractions of the park is its unique importance for bird watchers and Kitsap Audubon Society members. It offers an exceptional wildlife viewing point for a unique colony of Pelagic Cormorants and a pair of Peregrine Falcons that nest beneath the Warren Avenue Bridge. The site is so special to bird watchers that Kitsap Audubon funded installation of a set of steps and a hand rail to improve access, and created an interpretive sign explaining the significance of this unusual wildlife viewing site. For more information, contact Gene Bullock at 360-394-5635 or genebullock@comcast.netl. For directions to Lower Rota Vista Park call Bremerton Parks and Recreation at 473-5305.

My experience with Obliteride BY SARA N. MILLER SMILLER@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
My Grandma was diagnosed with cancer my freshman year of college. She and I have always had a special relationship, and this shook my world. My Grandma? The woman who wins poker tournaments and brews her own 190-proof alcohol? The woman who kick started my collection of pocket knives, my obsession with Ohio State football and my love for eating mass amounts of chicken wings? Lucky for me, my Grandma is a fighter and was diagnosed cancer free in 2013. So far the cancer hasn’t returned, and I am thankful every day. I know that not everyone is as fortunate as I am to get to keep their loved one after such a diagnoses. I’ve wanted to support the efforts of finding a cure for a long time. However, I’ve always made excuses. “I have soccer, classes and am working two jobs. I don’t have time.” Then, a month ago, I got an email about a young boy named Ian Gunnell and his family. Ian was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer when he was 6 years old, and is now a baseball and Boy Scout all-star. His family was participating in Obliteride. I began talking with Kerri Schneider, a PR representative for the cause. She encouraged me to volunteer, and I took her up on it. The Obliteride is a bike ride put on by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, with 100 percent of every dollar raised going directly to cancer research. Around the same time, a friend from college began posting about an organization she was involved in called Love Your Melon. She started a branch at Linfield College, my alma mater, and encouraged former classmates to join the cause. Love Your Melon sells hats with 50 percent, of the profits going to cancer research. Similar to TOMS, for every hat you buy, one goes to a child with cancer, encouraging everyone to “love your melon.” I immediately bought a hat for myself and one for my grandma. And, on the day of Obliteride, Aug. 8, it was cloudy and I was able to wear it during my course marshal duties. There was another marshal who later joined me, an older gentleman who works for the Kent School District, and in the summer is a flagger for a lot of different bike races in Seattle. This was his first time volunteering for Obliteride also. We were on the 150-mile ride that started with the cyclists getting off the Bainbridge Island ferry at 8 a.m. Our job was to excitedly direct the bikers around the corner to Highway 305, pointing, cheering and supplying encouragement. The best part was that every time we would cheer on riders, they would cheer right back. Many high-fived us as they rode by, and almost every single one sincerely thanked us for being out there. “Thank you,” “Thank you so much,” “Thanks, guys.” Everyone was happy to be out there, and I loved getting the opportunity to be a part of such an extraordinary event. The things Fred Hutchinson does for cancer research and those affected by this disease is incredible. Sitting and waiting, thinking other people will volunteer in your place, is easy. However, taking the initiative to do something yourself feels amazing and will make you want to continue being involved. I encourage everyone to take the time to support this cause and volunteer next year. I guarantee it will be worth your time.

Whiffen Spit, located at the end of Whiffen Spit Road just off of Sooke Road north of town, extends out into the mouth of Sooke Harbour. It’s a naturally formed spit that has been reinforced and well-maintained for public access. To one side of the spit is the protected Sooke Basin; to the other side, the open waters of the strait and a view of the Olympics. A leisurely 30-minute walk takes you to the point, where you can enjoy the scenery, watch fishing heading out or &boats Sat 11-2 returning and see wildlife (we watched a river otter

The menu includes locally harvested fish, shellfish and sea vegetables; local wild greens and mushrooms; and edible flowers from the house’s extensive gardens.

Local filmmakers produce a steampunk mystery series for Monoculus Films

SIZZLES AT THE POINT
Cadence Whittle laughs with the director in between takes on “Thornbrook.” “I can’t speak highly enough of our actress,” filmmaker Micah Fusco said. “She worked long hours without complaining and did amazing performances. She’s going places.”

“W
e were brainstorming in Shari’s when the idea came to me.” This is how the vision for “Thornbrook” came to be. “Thornbrook” is a micro-series for Monoculus Films, a channel made up of a small group of filmmakers from Washington. Set in a steampunk Victorian era, the plot focuses on the mysterious town of Thornbrook, with each of the six episodes revealing something new to the mystery. “It’s a monster movie with Jane Austen kind of notes,” filmmaker Micah Fusco described. Fusco graduated from Olympic College with an associate’s degree in digital media. After graduation, he and some of his friends began a YouTube channel, producing several videos, including their most popular: “Adventure Pug” (Fusco describes it as “Milo and Otis” meets “Dungeons and Dragons”). After a few of videos, the crew realized they wanted to create something with a little more substance. “We were tired of making random weekend videos every other week,” Fusco said. “We liked doing the videos, but it wasn’t showcasing our talent, our cinematography and writing skills.” While Shari’s was the birthplace of the idea in Fusco’s mind, the rest of the crew didn’t buy into it at first. Fusco, however, held on to the idea and pitched it again to his team. “It began one very caffeinated evening at Starbucks, and I said, ‘Let’s turn it into three episodes,’ ” Fusco said. “We wrote and came up with six. The episodes are roughly 3-5 minutes each. We’re telling a 25-minute story, but told in digestible chunks.” Episodes were mostly shot in Kitsap,
including Kingston and Port Gamble, but filming also took them to places in Tacoma, Port Ludlow and to the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie. “Port Gamble was probably the friendliest,” Fusco said. “We had to switch a shooting location to the tea room in Port Gamble at the last minute. We were going to dress this barn the day of shooting, but we couldn’t get in the barn, and we had limited time because our actress was leaving in the next couple days. We walked in to the tea room, day of, and asked, ‘Can we shoot in here for quite a while?’ ” The shop owner told them yes, and to let themselves out whenever they were done. Fusco said that most everyone they encountered while working on this project were really nice and supportive, especially Maple Grove Cottage in Poulsbo. “Maple Grove Cottage was a big location for us to get costumes,” he said. “It’s hard on an extremely low budget and you’re creating a Victorian/steampunk piece. She went digging in the back for stuff and was really excited to help out.” Costuming was one of Fusco’s favorite parts of the project. While hunting down clothing items that would fit the era, they created signature looks for a few of the characters. “We combed through Goodwill, Amazon and Maple Grove,” he said. “The men were easy because we could go to Goodwill and get a suit-coat and add specific pieces. The doc has his glasses and the inspector has his hat. For our actress [Cadence Whittle], we needed to go to Maple Grove to get her stuff.” See THORNBROOK, Page 4

Thornbrook Continued from page 3
This project was the first time the visionaries behind Monoculus Films brought in actors outside of people they already knew. They posted on a website called Backstage looking for an actress to portray the lead protagonist. Fusco said they were incredibly lucky when Whittle responded to their posting. “I can’t speak highly enough of our actress,� he said. “She worked long hours without complaining and did amazing performances. She’s going places.� One of his favorite stories during filming included Whittle dressed in a black Victorian dress looking out the window of an old, gutted Victorian house when someone walked pass the window. “We heard them scream, ‘Oh my gosh.’ And we all started laughing, because everyone knows this house is haunted,� Fusco laughed. He also talked about his first day of shooting. He was dressing a tree in fake blood when the makeup team and other crew members, all of whom he’d never met, arrived and he went to talk to them. “I walked out looking like a serial killer,� he said. “And I’m Italian, I talk with my hands. And they were all, ‘Why do you have blood on your hands?’ I dodged it, no straight answer, and everybody listened to me the rest of the day.� Now that filming has concluded, Fusco is looking forward to the editing process. The first three days of the week he works at the Kingston branch library, leaving Thursday through Sunday to focus on the series. “We’ve been focused solid for six months, and now I get to edit,� Fusco said. “One thing is that we try to make
Right, Micah Fusco (right) and cinematographer Craig film a scene with the main protagonist. “He’s really talented, and it’s humbling to spend months on a project wtih him,� Fusco said of working with Craig. Above, the show’s inspector, with his signature glasses. Micah Fusco / Thornbrook
it extremely high production value on a limited budget.� He and the rest of the Monoculus crew are hoping that “Thornbrook� will be the flagship for their channel and help generate an audience. With all the work put in, and the shots shown in the trailer and on the website, it’s hard to see how it won’t
generate viewers. “The crew gets discouraged because you know where you are in your head and you work for months not seeing anything. Then our first session was costume test stills. It was the first time everyone saw the characters come to life [the way] they were written in the script,� Fusco said. “You see it and you think, ‘Wow, this is going to be legit.’ � While the editing process leaves

Beaumont and Sheriff Brandon Walker join forces to stop a sociopathic smuggler who has eluded justice for decades. The story showcases the fully-matured talents of plotting, characterization and sense of place Jance has refined over the course of her distinguished mystery writing career. Publishers Weekly wrote, “Bestseller Jance’s 51st novel brings together two of her popular series characters — Seattle detective J.P. Beaumont and Arizona sheriff Brandon Walker — in a highly entertaining plot that honors both of these now-retired cops. “Jance (‘Cold Betrayal’) satisfies fans of both series with an energetic plot resplendent with believable twists, leaving readers eager for Beaumont and Walker’s next outing.” Jance is the New York Times bestselling author of the J.

New content in second edition of ‘Native Peoples’ LITTLE BOSTON — The second edition of “Native Peoples of the Olympic Peninsula / Who We Are” is being published by the University of Oklahoma Press at a good
time. “Native Peoples of the Olympic Peninsula / Who We Are” ... second edition is scheduled for release in September.
Beginning this school year, schools in Washington are required to include the culture, history and government of their local Native American Tribe in their history instruction.

Peninsula” will be a valuable local resource. The nine indigenous nations of the Olympic Peninsula — Hoh, Quileute, Quinault, Makah, Elwha Klallam, Jamestown S’Klallam, Port Gamble S’Klallam, Skokomish and Squaxin, — share their complex
histories in this second edition, authored by members of the Olympic Peninsula Intertribal Cultural Advisory Committee and edited by retired National Park anthropologist Jacilee Wray (“From the Hands of a Weaver: Olympic Peninsula Basketry Through Time”). The second edition is updated to include new developments — especially the removal of the Elwha River dams — since the first edition was published in 2002. Each chapter relates the people’s history in their own words and addresses each Tribe’s current cultural and political issues. More than 70 photographs and other illustrations, many of which are new to this edition, give further insight into the unique legacy of these peoples, moving beyond popular romanticized views of Native Americans to portray their lived experiences.

Laverne (1/2 orange chin) & her sister Vivienne are 1 yr old medium haired dilute tortoiseshells who came to us with their 8 kittens when their owner decided 10 cats was too many. They had given birth at nearly the same time & were co-raising the kittens. Both girls are friendly and outgoing once they get settled in someplace. They sleep together, bathe each other and look for each other when separated. We are hoping to find them a home together. They are at the Poulsbo Petco this week. 1-888-558-PAWS • www.pawsbink.org 3

For these daughters, the fair is a family affair BY LESLIE KELLY lkelly@soundpublishing.com
F
or Cassie O’Hara and Diana Pheasant, nothing measures up to the Kitsap County Fair. It’s in their blood. Both women are members of the Kitsap County Fair Board and each have a specific assignment for this year’s event — O’Hara will oversee the livestock barns and shows, and Pheasant is in charge of all the entertainment. They are both secondgeneration supporters. O’Hara’s father, Leroy O’Hara, was director of livestock for many years. Pheasant’s father, Stan Johnson, was the fair director in the 1970s and early 1980s. “There’s still that little girl inside us that wants to make our daddy proud,” said O’Hara. “My dad’s no longer here, but our passion for the fair comes from our fathers.” Pheasant, who grew up on the Kitsap County Fair, moved away for many years and, four years ago, came back to be a part of it again when she joined the board. O’Hara has been at every Kitsap County Fair except one in the past 43 years. She began showing sheep in 1971 and had only one year — 2001 — when another obligation took her elsewhere. She showed the very first Grand Champion lamb in 1976. Going four generations back, O’Hara’s family has raised sheep in Kitsap County. So naturally, she showed sheep at the fair as a kid. And so did her kids and her grandkids. “We’ve had a family farm since 1883,” she said. “My dad exhibited

sheep when the fair was in Bremerton at Roosevelt Field before the fairgrounds were here.” As a teen when her father was in charge, Pheasant had a job to do every year. “All the family was involved,” she said. “We all got assignments. My favorite was running the spin paint booth. Back in those days, there wasn’t a very big budget for the fair and dad lived and breathed the fair. So everybody helped out however they could.” Her family members painted signs that were hung on the barns. Although both their fathers served on the fair board at the same time, the daughters didn’t know each other in those days. They’ve only become friends since they joined the board four years ago. They also have aunts, uncles and cousins who have been, and are active
in the fair. In fact, Pheasant is a cousin of Sunny Saunders who, with her husband Gus, are the fair managers. “It was Sunny who asked me to get back involved with the fair, after she became manager,” said Pheasant. “I decided it was time for me to regenerate my happy days at the fair when I was a child.” On the other hand, for O’Hara, the fair has never left her life. She’s always been involved helping with the livestock. “Kitsap County has become more and more urban over the years,” she said. “That’s why it’s important to keep the fair going — to show our rural and agricultural roots.” As board members, both of the women work year-round on the event. Board meetings are once a month where each member reports on what
they’ve accomplished in their specific area. For Pheasant, she begins right after the previous year’s fair ends and attends conferences where agents pitch their talent to her, hoping she’ll book them at the Kitsap County Fair. Once she and the board choose the entertainment acts, she goes to work negotiating contracts. “There’s very specific rules, like an act can’t perform within 100 miles of us at any other fair within 90 days,” she said. “For The Marshall Tucker Band, I began working with them in late January and just secured them in late July.” Entertainment also includes down-home fun, like the pie eating contest, which features local dignitaries “getting to be human,” she said. During the fair, she has to be on the grounds from 7 a.m. to midnight, making sure all performances

ming, cars leaving … and quiet. Your dog may be alone for the first time in weeks, certainly for longer than he or she has grown used to. But this is not an
attempt to illicit guilt, which I, as a pet owner, have often felt when gazing down into a pair of sad brown eyes on my way out the door. It’s merely a heads-up that fall can be a stressful time for dogs, who are as capable of developing separation anxiety as people. Symptoms can be mild to severe,
and include whining and barking, chewing clothing and furniture, scratching around windows and doors, and defecating in the house. “Aside from missing the company of their owner, dogs are often upset by the disruption of their day to day schedule when the household routine chang-
are going on without a hitch. O’Hara’s work also happens year round. She works full time as operations manager at Avian Flight and spends many volunteer hours doing her fair job. At home, she’s raising sheep, which are shown by 4Hers. Some who participate in the Market Animal Program, which allows kids to raise animals even though they may not have acreage at home to do so. During the event, she’s in charge of the dogs, cats, sheep, goats, beef, lamas, mini horses, horses, poultry, swine, cavies and rabbits, the “Pet Me” farm and the exotic-bird barn. She has to make sure that there’s straw and food for the animals, that the show arenas are being used property and cleaned, that the PA systems are working and that there are the appropriate ribbons ready to award to those who

Also,
show. She takes her vacation the week of the fair and lives in a camper on the grounds 24/7 in case anything comes up. Additionally, before it begins, both women and other board members seek out sponsors and work with county commissioners to ensure that they continue to fund the fair. They also host receptions to honor sponsors and volunteers. “Even though we bring in $87,000 in sponsorships, the county contributes a lot to the maintenance of the fairgrounds throughout the year,” said O’Hara. “And they front us the funds we need to make the fair happen.” For both women, the enjoyment is well worth the hours they volunteer. “It’s so important to keep our agricultural heritage alive,” O’Hara said. “And it’s so important to give families and children a good, safe place to be educated and entertained.” Sometimes, she said, those lessons are hard. This year, she’s allowed a 4Her to raise and show a lamb named Thelma, which she and her niece bottlefed in its early days. “Selling Thelma will be one of the hardest things I’ve had to do,” she said of the lamb that will be auctioned at this year’s fair. “It’s part of the lesson that kids who raise livestock learn. It’s not a dog or a cat. It’s not a pet. They learn that from Day 1 this animal has a purpose, and that’s to be raised to be food. “It’s a hard lesson for them — to love and let go. But it teaches them the heartbreak of being See FAMILY, Page 17

Small family winery is producing big results
D
UNDEE, Ore. — High in northern Oregon’s picturesque Dundee Hills is a special vineyard and winery run by a small but high-achieving family. Winter’s Hill Estate was established in 1990, when Peter and Emily Gladhart put their first vines in the ground at the 150-acre family farm that was established nearly 30 years earlier. They crafted their first wines in 1998, producing just a few hundred cases that vintage. In 2004, their son Russell and his wife, Burgundy native Delphine, joined the company, with Delphine becoming the head winemaker. Russell took over the winemaking job a year ago. Today, Winter’s Hill estate vineyard has 35 acres of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc. It has been certified SalmonSafe and LIVE (Low Input Viticulture & Enology) since 1999. Surrounding the tranquil vineyard are Oregon white oak and Douglas fir trees, which provide habitats for a variety of wildlife species. Also in the neighborhood, are many of

The Dundee Hills vineyard in Dundee, Oregon.
NW WINES By ANDY PERDUE and ERIC DEGERMAN
Oregon’s oldest and most important wineries and vineyards. The Dundee Hills is the heart of the northern Willamette Valley, where Pinot Noir was first planted a half-century ago. The Gladharts continue the long tradition of producing superb wines from the red soils found in the Dundee Hills. Here are a few Winter’s Hill wines we’ve tasted recently. They can be found at wine merchants with excellent choices of Oregon wines, or contact the winery directly at 503864-4592. n Winter’s Hill Estate 2013 Pinot Gris, Dundee Hills, $17: The 2013 harvest was a major challenge throughout much of because of the torrential rains in the second half of September, and the Gladharts chose to wait until Oct. 9 before picking the Pinot Gris off their Dundee Hills estate. Knowledge is exemplified in this crisp and floral example of Oregon Pinot
Gris, which starts with a nose of yellow grapefruit, starfruit, lemon and lemongrass. The palate yields flavors of Asian pear, starfruit, honeydew melon and apricot, backed by spritzy lemon/lime acidity and a food-friendly farewell of apricot pit. (13 percent alcohol) n Winter’s Hill Estate 2012 Reserve Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills, $65: This small-production Pinot Noir from estate grapes exemplifies Delphine Gladhart’s winemaking prowess. It is a powerfully elegant wine
with aromas of watermelon, ripe strawberry, clove, cinnamon powder and cocoa powder. The luscious pour produces flavors of supple fresh strawberry and Rainier cherry, which are backed by mild tannins, moist earthiness and a cherry pie finish. This wine earned a double gold at the 2015 Great Northwest Wine Competition, and it’s not about to slow down. (14 percent alcohol) n Winter’s Hill Estate 2013 Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills, $39: The nose is beautiful with
fresh Bing cherry and black currant, joined by barrel notes of roasted marshmallow and cocoa powder. It’s a fruit-driven drink leading with black cherry and more black currant, backed by mild tannins and raspberry acidity that leads to a lengthy finish of chocolate-covered pomegranate and violets. (13 percent alcohol) n Winter’s Hill Estate 2014 Pinot Noir Dry Rosé, Dundee Hills, $19: This beautiful rosé’s lighter color suggests a Provence approach, and
house, go toss the ball to the dog in the backyard, Case says. “If you remove the trigger, that can help reduce the level of anxiety.” Case emphasizes that it’s important to manage and treat destructive behaviors, rather than punishing pets for them. “If you punish them, they’ll start to fear your arrival back home, as well as be anxious about your leaving.” Getting another dog to keep your canine company may seem like a good idea, but it’s not always the answer. Resolve the separation anxiety in your
pet first, or your new addition may pick up the bad behavior. If there’s room in your budget, a daytime dog walker or daycare are good solutions, but check references in both instances, Case advises. If you’re looking into a daycare, she recommends that it employs at least one caretaker for every five dogs and offers frequent breaks in group play to avoid fights. A more affordable option is to team up with a friend or neighbor who has a friendly dog and is willing to take yours on as a playmate a couple of days a week.
For more information on separation anxiety in pets, Case recommends “I’ll Be Home Soon,” by Patricia McConnell. If you’ve tried the recommended protocols and the destructive behavior
continues, consult your veterinarian. Case notes that there are medications that can help, but they work best when paired with behavior management and training. She suggests choosing a train-
tional skills too.” Even with those hard, heartfelt times, both O’Hara and Pheasant plan to be a part of the fair for years to come. And so do the next generations of their families. “The fair is so much a part of my family that my daughter, who lives in New York, who got
married right before last year’s fair, put off her honeymoon so she could bring her new husband back for the fair last year,” O’Hara said. “She said she wanted him to see how she grew up.”
Andy Perdue / Great Northwest Wine
the fermentation with three-year-old French oak barrels leads to aromas of fresh Van cherry, raspberry reduction, charcuterie and sage. On the palate, it’s dominated by black currant and black cherry flavors, which carries a touch of tannin and weight on the mid-palate before a cleansing burst of tangerine. Suggested pairings include crab cakes, deviled eggs or a hummus platter. (13 percent alcohol) n Winter’s Hill Estate 2014 Pinot Blanc, Dundee Hills, $17: Last year’s Sept. 22 harvest of Pinot Blanc, two weeks earlier than recent vintages, leads to aromas of baked apple pie, Honey Nut Cheerios and Bremner Crackers, followed by crisp flavors of Bosc pear, kiwi and fresh-squeezed lemon. It’s backed by citrus pith that will play out deliciously with shellfish. (13 percent alcohol) — Eric Degerman and Andy Perdue run Great Northwest Wine, an award-winning news and information company.

I followed the instructions and made a few additions and modifications to make my muffins non-dairy. I used nondairy butter and 3/4 cup of lite coconut milk from a can. I also added 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. I zested and juiced one medium-size orange. The zest was approximately 1

I like to make different sizes of muffins when the ingredients are similar but not exactly the same because I realize that some people do not like coconut. I want everyone to enjoy my muffins so this makes it easier to see the different ingredients and not get mixed up. I really love how both of the muffins turned out. I highly recommend keeping extra bags — yes, I said bags, as in several — of the new GlutenFree Bob’s Red Mill Muffin Mix in your pantry. The muffins are light, fluffy and flavorful.

The mini muffins are so fun to enjoy and easy to add to your bag for a snack anytime of the day. I also made 18 regular-sized muffins with a twist because I added coconut flakes to the batter.

It’s time for all the fun of the fair Exhibits, animals, food, entertainment and rides — it’s all at the Kitsap County Fair & Stampede By LESLIE KELLY

t’s the 92nd year for the fair in Kitsap County. And throughout the years, the fair has been a place for local residents to celebrate what makes Kitsap County great. The Kitsap County Fair & Stampede is held annually for the purpose of educating, entertaining and creating a better quality of life for the residents of Kitsap County and surrounding counties, according to members of the fair board. It consists of teaching youth historical lessons so they may better understand what has shaped Kitsap County to become what it is today and what it will become in the future, board members said. It promotes agriculture so that consumers may better understand the source of their food and fiber. It also provides information to consumers so that they may make better choices of products and ideas in their own lives. Competitive exhibits are another one of the tools that it used to educate customers. And there’s always a lot of entertainment, including this year’s headliner, The Marshall Tucker Band. The Marshall Tucker Band will perform on Aug. 26 at the Thunderbird Arena directly after the Xtreme Bulls competition. Other entertainment during the fair includes: n Predators of the Heart, which features animal encounters as an educational and entertaining close-up of nature’s most amazing animals. This crowd-pleasing program incorporates audio, videos and live exhibits. n Karen Quest – Cowgirl Tricks, a unique fun-filled Vaudeville-style western comedy act complete with trick roping,
A night at the fair can be fun because of all the lights on all the rides. The Kitsap County Fair, including a midway of amusement rides opens Wednesday. File photo whip cracking, music and lots of surprises. She also performs on stilts as “Lucky Starr” — an eight-foot tall cowgirl — as she engages audiences with her special brand of Western humor. n Kevin Wolfe Comedy Hypnosis, a fastpaced and funny hypnosis show that will keep everyone laughing. With Wolfe’s special improvisational style, you never know what’s going to happen. There are four entertainment stages including the Center Stage, sponsored this year by West Hills Auto Plex; the Pepsi Stage, which features family entertainment; the Cowboy Corral, which includes the PRCA Rodeo and lots of country music; and the Random Acts stage, a place for “unplugged” entertainment. In all, there will be more than 100 performances to choose from while attending the fair. Many people come to the fair to see the livestock. This year, the barns will be full and there’ll be cows, pigs, lambs, cats, dogs and rabbits to see. And the exotic bird barn will return again this year. According to Cassie O’Hara, the fair’s livestock director, the Kitsap County Fair is the only fair in the state to have exotic birds on display. The Rodeo & Stampede is a highlight for many and will include rodeo events from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The Xtreme Bulls competition
will take place on Wednesday. Rodeo events include bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, calf roping and barrel racing. The PRCA is the largest and oldest professional rodeo sanctioning body in the world. The recognized leader in Pro Rodeo, the PRCA sanctions more than 600 rodeos annually and showcases the world’s best cowboys in premier events. And, of course, there’ll be hundreds of exhibits to look at, including homemade pies and pickles, and retail vendors selling everything from pots and pans to purses. And the food. What can you say about fair food, other than come hungry? Just don’t eat before you ride the carnival rides!
First fair in 1923
The first recorded Kitsap County Fair took place in 1923 in Port Orchard, some 15 miles from its present location. It was held in Port Orchard from 1923 -29. Then it moved to Roosevelt Field in Bremerton. The fair moved to its present location in 1958. In 1929, exhibitors at the fair totaled 1,000; today, there are more than 6,000, with annual attendance of 80,000. In the late 1950s, what was then the Chief Kitsap Stampede sold stock certificates for $1 and constructed the
A S P E C I A L S U P P L E M E N T T O K I T S A P W E E K LY
Thunderbird Arena. When completed, it held 12,000 spectators. In the late 1970s, portions of the arena were condemned. The covered grandstands were later added. Today, the arena holds 5,000 spectators and is used year-round for various events such as D-derby, draft horse shows, monster trucks and more. The complex has an annual overall attendance at its various events of more than 211,000. Preparation for the fair begins right after the previous year’s fair is over, according to Jim Dunwiddie, director of the Kitsap County Parks and Recreation. And on the Saturday two weeks before the fair, more than 300 volunteers come out for “Super Saturday.” “Volunteers put fresh paint on many of the buildings and clean up the fairgrounds,” he said. “These are the people who make sure we’re ready to open.” He noted, too, that many members of the fair board work full time and take vacation the week of the fair so that they can be there to help. “They’re really very dedicated folks,” he said. Each year, the fair board also looks over a list of suggested themes that have been submitted by fair supporters, he said. “We’ve had lots of suggestions and we keep track of them,” he said. “The board sits down after the last fair and chooses the theme for the coming year.” The theme chosen for this year is “Hay! It’s Kitsap Fair & Stampede Time.” “It represents the old-time agricultural aspect of the fair,” said O’Hara. “It’s selfexplanatory … Hay.” This year’s fair board includes: President Danise Barnes, overseeing admissions; Maaren Stroble, commercial exhibits; Linda Moran, Still Life; Mike Brady, parking; George Serrano, security; Joe Drouin, stampede; Doug Dillion, concessions; Diana Pheasant, entertainment, and O’Hara, livestock. According to fair manager Sunny Saunders, last year’s attendance was 80,000. Attendance and income for the fair has continued to grow in recent years. “The fair did make money last year,” Saunders said. “It was in the black for the last two years. When we took over in 2011, the fair was in the red by over $250,000.”

or many people, the Kitsap County Fair is all about the stampede and rodeo. This year’s stampede and rodeo will be Joe Drouin’s 30th. Drouin is the rodeo director and has been helping stage the rodeo at the fair for 30 years. “It’s something I really enjoy doing,” Drouin said. “It’s just a lot of fun.” In all, Drouin expects 400 cowboys to show up for the four nights of rodeo and another 40 bull riders to show up for Wednesday’s XTreme Bull riding event. “It’s a full night of bull riding,” he said. “That’s why it’s named Xtreme.” On rodeo nights, there’s seven events (see below) with about 100 cowboys and cowgirls performing each night. Barrel racing is the only event in which women perform during the rodeos. They are all part of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and Drouin said they have six different rodeos to choose from on the weekend of the Kitsap Fair and Rodeo. “We are the favorite -— very much so,” he said. “We get all the top names.” The cowboys sleep over during the fair in campers and trailers on the rodeo grounds. Making sure they have what they need is part of what Drouin and his team do. “We work year-round to make this the best rodeo we can,” he said. “And beginning the first weekend in August, we’re out there about four days a week preparing the grounds and setting up for the rodeo.” During the fair, someone from the rodeo management team is on site 24 hours a day. For newcomers to the Stampede,
Drouin said if horses are your thing, attend a rodeo night. If bulls are what you like, be sure to attend Wednesday and see some extreme bull riding. Here’s a guide to what’s at the rodeo: n Bareback Riding. Each competitor climbs onto a horse, which is held in a small pipe or wooden enclosure called a bucking chute. When the rider is ready, the gate of the bucking chute is opened and the horse bursts out and begins to buck. The rider attempts to stay on the horse for eight seconds without touching the horse with his free hand. On the first jump out of the chute, the rider must “mark the horse out.” This means he must have the heels of his boots in contact with the horse above the point of the shoulders before the horse’s front legs hit the ground. A rider that manages to complete a ride is scored on a scale of 0-50 and the horse is also scored on a scale of 0-50. Scores in the 80s are very good, and in the 90s, are exceptional. A horse who bucks in a spectacular and effective manner will score more points than a horse who bucks in a straight line with no significant changes of direction. n Steer Wrestling. Also known as bull dogging. Rules of steer wrestling include: The bulldogger’s horse must not break the rope barrier in front of it at the beginning of a run, but must wait for the animal escaping from the adjacent chute to release the rope. Breaking the rope barrier early adds a 10-second penalty to the bulldogger’s time. If the steer stumbles or falls before the bulldogger brings it down, he must either wait for it to rise or help it up before wrestling it to the ground. If the bulldogger completely misses the steer on his way See RODEO, Page 5

eota Lewis doesn’t expect to see a lot of blackberry pies at this year’s Kitsap County Fair. “The blackberries are already ripe now,” Lewis said in mid-July. She is superintendent of pies for the fair. “Usually they don’t ripen until mid August. I expect that means fewer blackberry pies, unless they’re made up early and frozen.” Lewis, a long-time resident of Kitsap County who has been a part of the Kitsap County Fair since the current fairgrounds opened in 1958, has many years of fair experience behind her. She was in charge of open class foods for years, while her husband oversaw the rodeo and helped take care of the fairgrounds. “We both helped paint the gates and the stands at the rodeo grounds when the fair first moved to the fairgrounds,” she said. “And some of the display cases they still use in President’s Hall are ones that he made.” This year, Lewis will be watching over the pies. On a normal year, about 30 pies are entered in the competition. Besides blackberry, many are apple. There are two judges and they begin setting up the pies and other foods the Sunday before the fair opens. “The pies are judged on Monday,” Lewis said. “And then we have to re-wrap them for display when the fair opens on Wednesday.” In past years, when she’s overseen all food categories, she’s spend lots of time during the fair checking on the food displays. “Sometimes, things begin to mold and we have to take care of that,” she said. There are divisions based on age and ribbons are awarded in each category. Each pie is judged on it’s own merit and not judged against the other pies in the contest, Lewis said. “The only time the pies are compared are for the Best in Show,” she said. Sometimes the judges are “celebrity” judges, such as local mayors and county commissioners. Other times, they are experienced judges. “Back in the day when I judges pies and canned goods, we’d go to judges’ school and we’d take classes from the WSU Extension Services,” she said. As for strange experiences at the fair, Lewis has had a few.

Hundreds of residents of Kitsap County participate in the fair by entering their baked goods, canned goods or other home arts.

And, back in the day, when her husband worked the rodeo, she learned fast what “heads up” means. “That means a bull is loose,” Lewis said. “It happened in one of the first years I worked at the fair. You don’t know how fast you can jump in the bed of a pickup until someone yells ‘heads up.’” This year, what’s now called the Home Arts is being overseen by Linda Moran, a member of the fair board.

entered her raspberry jam in the fair as a kid, she just joined the fair board two years ago. With the help of a lot of volunteers, she makes sure all the home arts — quilts, all sorts of sewing, knitting, and crocheting, food, horticulture and photography -— are in place, ready to be judged. All, except the food and flowers, begins to be assembled two weeks prior to the fair opening. “So many of the volunteers have been with the fair for years that everything just falls in to place,” Moran said. “The first year, I just sort of stood back and watched

how things happened. Now I feel like I can really contribute.” Her work includes being at the fair every day from the time it beings to be set up until when it ends. She makes runs to local stores for donuts and buns which are donated for the fair workers daily. “I even take some over to the rodeo area because those cowboys need to be fed,” she said. Sometimes she rides a golf cart around the fairgrounds in order to make better time. Every morning of the fair, she meets with other board members who are in charge of other divisions of the fair. They talk about what’s happening that day and if any problems are coming up. Moran also sets up groups to do demonstrations during the fair. This year, she’s lined up Pacific Fabrics to talk about sewing and the “Knotty Needles,” a group from a retirement home who will demonstrate knitting. A highlight will be the demo of Brazilian embroidery. Weaving will be shown in the sheep barn. And there may be a speed-knitting contest. In the early years, Lewis and her husband slept in their motor home on the fairgrounds during the fair. “It was what we did because we always wanted to be there if we were needed,” she said. But now she just drops in when she’s needed. She has a couple of assistants to help her too. As for Moran, she’s always on alert and carries a note pad with her to keep on top of questions and issues. “I’m always thinking about the fair,” she said. “But it’s really a well-oiled machine. Fair volunteers are so dedicated.” Both women admit that, while the fair take a lot of work, a sadness comes over them when it’s Sunday at 6 p.m. and it’s over. “We just take a long look around,” said Lewis. “And then they start tearing things down.” Moran added, “It’s like that day-afterChristmas feeling. You’re just running so high for so long and then, nothing.” But they know, there’s always next year and another Kitsap County Fair.

Continued from page 3 down, he will receive a “no time.” Typical professional times will be in the range of 3.0 to 10 seconds from the gates opening to the waving of the flag. The steers used today are generally Corriente cattle or longhorns, which weigh between 450–650 pounds, and the human steer wrestlers typically weigh 180–300 pounds. n Team Roping. Team roping, also known as heading and heeling, is a rodeo event that features a steer and two mounted riders. The first roper is referred to as the “header”, the person who ropes the front of the steer, usually around the horns, but it is also legal for the rope to go around the neck, or go around one horn and the nose resulting in what they call a “half head”. Once the steer is caught by one of the three legal head catches, the header must dally (wrap the rope around the rubber covered saddle horn) and use his horse to turn the steer to the left. The second is the “heeler”, who ropes the steer by its hind feet after the “header” has turned the steer, with a five second penalty assessed to the end time if only one leg is caught. Team roping is the only rodeo event where men and women compete equally together in professionally sanctioned competition, in both single-gender or mixed-gender teams. n Saddle Bronc Riding. Bronc riding, either bareback bronc or saddle bronc, is a rodeo event that involves a rodeo participant riding on a horse (sometimes called a bronc or bronco), that attempts to throw or buck off the rider. Originally based on the neces-
sary horse-breaking skills of a working cowboy, the event is now a highly stylized competition that utilizes horses that often are specially bred for strength, agility and bucking ability. n Tie-Down Roping. Also known as calf roping. Calf roping is a rodeo event that features a calf and a rider mounted on a horse. The goal of this timed event is for the rider to catch the calf by throwing a loop of rope from a lariat around its neck, dismount from the horse, run to the calf, and restrain it by tying three legs together, in as short a time as possible. n Barrel Racing. Barrel racing is a rodeo event in which a horse and rider attempt to complete a cloverleaf pattern around preset barrels in the fastest time. Though both boys and girls compete at the youth level and men compete in some amateur venues and jackpots, in collegiate and professional ranks, it is primarily a rodeo event for women. It combines the horse’s athletic ability and the horsemanship skills of a rider in order to safely and successfully maneuver a horse in a pattern around three barrels (typically three 55- gallon metal or plastic drums) placed in a triangle in the center of an arena. n Bull Riding. Bull riding refers to rodeo sports that involve a rider getting on a large bull and attempting to stay mounted while the animal attempts to buck off the rider. In the American tradition, the rider must stay atop the bucking bull for eight seconds. The rider tightly fastens one hand to the bull with a long braided rope. It is a risky sport and has been called the most dangerous eight seconds in sports.

The Marshall Tucker Band plays on, and on, and on By LESLIE KELLY

T
hey were just high school friends, playing music, hoping to make enough money to buy beer on the weekend. They went by the name “The New Generation.” But with a bit of dumb luck and a lot of talent, they became The Marshall Tucker Band. And now, more than 40 years later, they’re still drawing in sold-out crowds. The Marshall Tucker Band will be the main entertainment at this year’s Kitsap County Fair. “We were just kids,” said Doug Gray, the only surviving original member of the band. “We had no idea what we were doing.” It was Gray and his buddy Tommy Caldwell who formed The New Generation. After high school, that band merged with members of another local band, The Rants, which included Caldwell’s brother, Toy, Jerry Eubanks and Ross Hanna and became the Toy Factory. They played clubs and small venues near their home in Spartanburg, South Carolina. But it was the mid 1960s and there was a war on. Most of the band members were drafted and went to Vietnam. Gray, who was a sergeant in the U.S. Army, saw combat and was in Vietnam for 13 months, beginning in 1968. When they returned to the U.S. they put the band back together and played under the name of the Toy Factory. In 1972, Gray, the Caldwell brothers, Eubanks, guitarist George McCorkle and drummer Paul T. Riddle formed a new

As the story goes, they were rehearsing in an old warehouse. They had yet to decide on a name and were discussing what they should call themselves one evening.

Because it was time to go to dinner and everyone was hungry, they said “sounds great” and the rest is history. A few years later they found out that Marshall Tucker was the name of a real

person who rented the building before them. His name was still on the key tag because the warehouse owner hadn’t changed it yet. Tucker was a blind piano tuner, who, along with his partner, used the building for their piano business. The band signed with Capricorn Records, the same label that guided The Allman Brothers Band, Wet Willie and others to national fame. They opened shows for The Allman Brothers in 1973, and the following year, they began to headline their own shows across America due to the platinum-plus sales of their debut album. They toured constantly playing sheds, stadiums, theaters, fairs, and festivals. Along the way, the band has recorded 22 studio albums, three DVDs, three live albums and many compilations. In 1980, Tommy Caldwell died as a result of injuries from an auto accident. In 1984, Toy Caldwell, George McCorkle, and Paul Riddle decided to retire. Gray and Eubanks, with the blessings of the other three, continued to record and perform as The Marshall Tucker Band. In 1993, Toy Caldwell, who wrote the majority of their songs, died, as did McCorkle in 2007. Eubanks retired in 1996 and Gray continues to lead the current band of musicians, BB Borden, Pat Elwood, Marcus James Henderson, Chris Hicks and Rick Willis. It’s hard for Gray to look back. As the remaining member of the original band, he feels the spirit of the original band every time he walks on stage. “The guys I play with now are excellent, talented musicians,” he said. “The band is still all about the music.” The band plays 150 concerts a year, and with travel time, Gray’s away from home about 200 days a year. Between gigs, he makes his home in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. When the band began, Gray tells, people had a hard time trying to classify their music. “Nobody knew what we were,” he said. “We fit into so many genres. Some called us rock and some called us country. It didn’t really matter because our fans were just coming out to hear us -— like they still do today.” “The buying public never really cared whether we were country or rock and roll,” said Gray. “They called us a Southern rock band, but we have always played
everything from country, jazz, blues, Rock & Roll and all things in-between. As we’ve become older, our Southern heritage seems to come out even more. But no matter how old we get, we can still rock your socks off.” At 67, some might think Gray’s had enough of performing and traveling. But not Gray. “I never thought we’d last this long,” he said. “Now, I’ve been the last remaining guy for the past 25 years. But we have so much fun on stage and when we all get up there we’re a team. Nobody can take that away from us.” The band has had its ups and downs in popularity, but still has a very loyal fan base. “I doubt we’ll ever make it to the top again,” Gray said. “But we’ll always make an impact. People come out because they want to hear good, original music, the way they remember it from 40 years ago.” Easily, “Can’t You See,” is Gray’s favorite song. “I like it because we ask the audience to sing along,” he said. “This song has lasted the test of time. It’s been played in movies including ‘Smokey and the Bandit,’ ‘Blow,’ and ‘Shipwrecked,’ and we just found out its in the new ‘Joe Dirt’ movie.” Their hits include “Heard It In a Love Song,” “Fire On The Mountain,” “Can’t You See,” and “Take The Highway.” The Marshall Tucker Band earned seven gold and three platinum albums while they were on the Capricorn Records label. During the 1990s, they scored four hit singles on Billboard’s country chart and one on Billboard’s gospel chart. The band records on its own Ramblin’ Records Label, distributed by Sony/RED, and continues to release new and previously unreleased material. For their most recent release, the band dug into the vault and emerged with the original live recordings from its biggest show to date. The new “Live! From Englishtown” album was originally performed in 1977 and reportedly drew more than 150,000 fans. That concert, on Sept. 3, 1977, is one Gray will never forget. “We’d been on the road a lot,” he said. “It was about four in the morning when we arrived at our hotel and we didn’t have to be on stage until afternoon. So we we’re expecting to sleep until noon. “But our road manager woke us up at 7 and told us we had to go to the airport. There was already 150,000 people. They weren’t expecting that and so they decided they’d have to helicopter us in. I’d seen the Woodstock movie, and it kind of looked like that. It was people as far as you could see.” Marshall Tucker was the opening band for the Grateful Dead that day, and with the combination of a known band and an up-and-coming band, Gray said it was “the perfect storm.” Last April, the band was asked to play the National Anthem to open the season for the defending World Series Champion San Francisco Giants. They play NASCAR races. They support events for veterans and the Wounded Warriors. Gray said he served in Vietnam because he loves his country and because others served for him. And on a bet from his daughter, he recently tried on his Army uniform, and it still fits.

Our favorite things at the fair include exhibits, animals, food

hat’s not to like at the Kitsap County Fair? We asked several local elected officials “What is your favorite thing about the fair?” Here’s how they answered:
“I love seeing lots of smiles as diverse individuals, families and friends explore fun at the Kitsap County Fair — from food and rides to animals, exhibits, performances, and more.” — Charlotte Garrido, Commissioner Kitsap County, District 2
“My favorite part of the fair is peoplewatching … all the families, young children all having a good time. The fair is true ‘Americana’… a slice of who we are as a community.” — Becky Erickson, Mayor of Poulsbo “When I was a county commissioner, we presented Commissioner Award ribbons to our favorite part of the fair and all four years I selected the 4-H barns with the llamas, goats, sheep and lastly, chickens. It was so exciting to see and hear these aspiring young students describe the history, care and feeding and responsibility for their own animals being taught through the Washington State Extension 4-H Program. “As a mayor, I still enjoy wandering through these barns and confess I have participated in the pie-eating contest the past two years. The winner selects the nonprofit organization that will receive a $500 donation provided by Gordon Sound.” — Patty Lent, Mayor of Bremerton
Alissa Weidenheimer and her llama, Pacer, are among the local 4Hers that participate in the Kitsap County Fair. Brian Kelly / 2013 “I would have to say that my favorite part of the fair is the 4-H animal exhibits and auction. Remembering back to my youth when my family and I would go to our county or state fair, I was always drawn to the animals. Having grown up on a small farm, I had an appreciation for the effort that went into caring for the livestock. “I’m repeatedly impressed by the dedica-

tion, knowledge, involvement, passion and compassion that the 4-H youth have when they participate in the program and the annual fair. Walking through the exhibits, it takes me back to my youth and that’s a wonderful gift to receive each year when I attend.” — Robert Gelder, Commissioner Kitsap County, District 1
“I particularly enjoy and look forward every year to the Norman Rockwell Life magazine-type of Americana hometown feeling we get, and then always make the Xtreme Bulls [competition] and whoever is there doing the country western show. I enjoyed Luke Bryan a few years ago before he was discovered. This year, one of my favorites, The Marshall Tucker Band, is performing.” — Edward E. Wolfe, Commissioner Kitsap County, District 3 “My favorite part of the fair is seeing the results of the hard work that the 4-H groups have done as they exhibit their high-quality animals.” — Axel Strakeljahn, Commissioner Port of Bremerton

X-Treme Air Dogs make extreme jumps to entertain
His promotion team travels the west coast throughout the summer months performing at county fairs. On average, 45 to 125 competitors come out to events like the performances at the Kitsap County Fair. “This is our first time in Kitsap County,” Allen said. “The area is a hotbed of my competitors. I’m anticipating anywhere from 75 to 125 dogs and handlers coming out to compete.” Although he had competed with his labs before, he’s not a competitor now. Instead he’s the emcee and running the show.

t’s a new highlight of the Kitsap County Fair. And it’s called X-Treme Air Dogs. The canine sport includes several divisions and is aimed at showing off just how far and how high dogs can jump. The competition will be featured at the Kitsap County Fair each day, with training events in the morning and competition in the afternoon. And the best part about it is anyone can bring their dog out to try it. “We call it the ‘Give it a Try,’ ” said Mike Allen, the show’s producer. “This is something that’s open to anyone and there’s training available. And then there’s the competition categories for novice and all the way up to XPro, which is the top category.” An athlete, Allen, who played football and baseball for Oregon State University, began his competitive promotion career working with world-class lumberjacks. In some of those shows, dogs performed and it was the suggestion of someone at ESPN that Allen promote dog competitions. He started doing so 13 years ago. According to the X-Treme AirDogs website, anyone with a dog and a ball can compete. X-Treme Air is a team dock jumping sport. Teams are made up of one dog and one handler. Handlers are allowed to throw a single, floatable toy into the water for their dog to chase. Each dog gets two attempts. Dogs can use the entire area of the dock (six-foot high and 40-foot long) before jumping into the water. Dogs
“This sport is just growing all the time.” — Mike Allen, producer

There are winter and summer competitions and there are hundreds of competitors throughout the U.S., according to Allen. The season ends with the Series Championships which are televised on ESPN.

Events include the X-Treme Vertical, which is a high jump off the dock and X-Treme Retrieve which is a timed event where dogs retrieve an object thrown into the water by their handler and return to the dock.
