Vandalism at Village Green Park may warrant felony charge Pavilion, bridge, trees marred with spray paint By RICHARD WALKER

Editor

KINGSTON — The person or persons that spray painted obscene words and images at Village Green Park June 22 or 23 did more than create cleanup work for other people. They may have committed a hate crime. State law says anyone who “Writes, paints, or draws any inscription, figure, or mark of any type on any public or private

building or other structure or any real or personal property owned by any other person” is guilty of third-degree malicious mischief, a gross misdemeanor; if the cost of cleanup is $750 or more, the crime is seconddegree and a felony. But among the words painted at the park were the N-word and a derogatory term for a gay man. That may warrant a charge of malicious harassment, a class C felony, according to a sheriff’s officer investigating the case. According to state law, a Class C felony is punishable by a sentence of up to five years and/or

a fine of up to $10,000. Village Green Park District chairwoman Bobbie Moore said the district will seek restitution. The malicious mischief was discovered around 9 a.m. June 23 by a Windermere Real Estate employee who took her daughter to see the cleanup work she and other Windermere employees did two days earlier for the company’s Community Service Day. She was shocked by what she saw: The poles, tables and floor of the pavilion were marred by spray painted words and images, many of them obscene. The fire extinguisher had been dis-

charged. On Kingston Creek, in the forest above the pavilion and playground, a new bridge built on June 21 was marred by spray paint. Several trees on the trail had also been tagged. On June 24, Moore was visibly upset as her husband, Walt Elliott, scrubbed graffiti off the poles and tables at the pavilion. Moore said she didn’t understand why someone would damage something that had been created for their benefit. The Village Green, at one time the site of dilapidated former Navy housing, was acquired by the See vandalism, Page 2

4-member Kingston Historical Society struggles to survive By RICHARD WALKER

KINGSTON — The Kingston Historical Society’s founding has ties to horse racing.

Bill Reynolds lived on a portion of what was once Newellhurst Farm, a 100-acre racehorse farm in Kingston whose owner raced the last horse to sweep the

Longacres Mile and Longacres Derby in the same year. Reynolds wanted to find a safe place for a sign from the farm, as well as a ledger from the Newells’ shingle mill. The Kitsap County Historical Society was a willing taker. But wait, Reynolds thought, those items will go to Bremerton and we’ll never see them again. And so, he founded the Kingston Historical Society in 2003. In the ensuing 10 years, the society would collect enough photos and artifacts to fill a five-drawer filing

KINGSTON — Though individuals are honored with the Person of the Year award, Jerry Kirschner said earning the awards was a team effort for him and his wife, Nancy Langwith. “It was pretty much out of the blue,” Kirschner said. “What Nancy and I have looked to do is help Kingston continue to be a vital community. It’s really a team effort.” Kirschner and Langwith are Persons of the Year for 2013, selected by the Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce. “We were thrilled,” Langwith said. “It’s quite an honor.” The two moved to Kingston almost four years ago. During that time, they have become involved in many aspects of volunteerism. Langwith was one of the founders of the North Kitsap Tourism Consortium and chairs the group. The consortium is a coalition of Port Madison Enterprises/ Suquamish Museum, The Point Casino/Heronswood, Olympic Property Group/Port Gamble, the Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce, the Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce, and the Greater Poulsbo Chamber of Commerce. The coalition’s mission is to promote tourism through joint marketing and advocacy. Langwith also serves on the Kingston Citizens Advisory Committee and the events comSee HONORs, Page 2

Along with settling abroad, the two considered the East Coast. To be closer to their three children and four grandchildren, they went west.

The society also owns the copyright to the local history book, “The Little City By The Sea.” At its peak, meetings of the fledgling society pulled in 14 or 15 members, as well as several people who did not join but attended out of interest. Meetings were informal, Muhrlein said, a time to “share stories and catch up with old friends.” Today, the society’s membership has dwindled to four, compelling those remaining members to temporarily team up with the Hansville Historical Society. Kingston’s remaining members asked to come under the umbrella of the Hansville Historical Society, a request the Hansville board approved June 21. “Right now, I’m president, secretary and treasurer,” Muhrlein quipped about her society’s membership.

Muhrlein said she, Duane Sabin, Johnny Foster and Bob Smiley will meet alongside their Hansville counterparts until Kingston’s membership numbers improve. If they don’t, the Kingston Historical Society may ask to merge with another organization. “Most of the older people who were interested in preserving [local] history have died off,” Muhrlein said. “There are some who are interested in sharing with me, but they’re not interested in coming to more meetings.” Among those who have died: Reynolds, a former port commissioner and president of five organiza-

Muhrlein expects that will change when the new community center is built at Village Green. The two historical societies meeting together is important, because they each have their defined areas and need to ensure that they don’t duplicate efforts. Plus, what makes for better conversation — a group of 12, or a group of four? Muhrlein, who has been president of her organiza-

gifted the .35-acre lot to the port district on behalf of an anonymous donor. “This donor has expressed their love for Kingston by preserving this property as public space with views of Puget Sound and Mount Rainier, and we’re honored to be the custodian,” Henry said in a email. The lot, valued at $485,000, has been vacant since the Kingston Inn restaurant burned down in 2005. The property was bought in 2007 for $550,000, and its cur-

She believes the historical society can help people learn from the past and get to know those things that make the community unique. There’s the town’s entrepreneurs, for example.

rent owners are Moga Properties LLC, according to the Kitsap County Assessor’s office. Henry said she knew the lot had been for sale for a long time, but was not expecting the donation. The port entered into a memorandum of understanding with the foundation to use the space as a park. Henry said she expects the port will host a public comment period this fall, maybe in September,

to find out how the public wants to use the space, perhaps with picnic benches or other amenities. Henry said the port district will also work on a design for the layout, and in March apply for a state Recreation and Conservation Office grant. In the meantime, the port will clear out gravel and brush and plant grass.

Editorial

Ensure children have nutrition they need O

f all community issues, few are as alarming as the fact that local children go hungry. Even as the economy appears to be improving statewide, Kitsap County’s jobless rate was 7.1 percent in June — albeit the seventh-lowest in the state — and families are still struggling. Economic recovery is not complete. In the North Kitsap School District, 2,251 students — 34.5 percent — qualified for their school’s free or reduced-price lunch program in 2011-12, the last year for which figures are posted by the district. That number and percentage are up slightly from the previous year. In an earlier editorial on this topic, former North Kitsap School District superintendent Gene Medina told of seeing children on Monday morning enjoying their first real meal since lunch at school on Friday. Now that summer is here, that begs the question: “How do children who depend on free and reduced-price lunches during the school year get the food they n The enemy within: need during the summer?” Our war against hunger Children are a commuand malnourishment. nity’s greatest investment. — ShareNet & You, And several programs are working to ensure children page 26 get the nutrition they need this summer. n Summer school lunches at Wolfle Elementary School are provided by ShareNet’s Food to Grow on Program for the first part of summer, after which the Food for Kids program takes over. Kingston Rotary and Kiwanis clubs have raised funds — including a grant from the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe — to provide food through the Kingston Food Bank for children at the Tribe’s kitchen. Last year, Food for Kids raised $5,950 to cover the cost of two food packets a week for seven weeks and to cover the gap in funding for summer school lunches. Food for Kids provided food packets for an estimated 75 children last year. You can help keep this program going by sending a donation to Kingston-North Kitsap Rotary Foundation, P.O. Box 832, Kingston, WA 98346. n In addition to the above-mentioned program, the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe is sponsoring a USDA summer lunch program for children. Meals are available for children 18 and younger Monday through Friday, noon to 1 p.m., through Aug. 30 at the Port Gamble S’Klallam Kitchen & Gym, 31912 Little Boston Road, Little Boston. n North Kitsap Fishline’s Food for Thought program provides weekend meals for students during the school year. The program served 60 students districtwide its first year, 2010-11. “Somewhere between 125-180 children have been registered for the service each year [since then] and we now offer a summer program,” Fishline Executive Director Mary Nader said. In addition, 16 donors sponsored the Backpack Friends program this year, buying school supplies for students. Sponsors include Kitsap Bank, Bank of America, Windermere Foundation, Morgan Stanley and the Suquamish Tribe. To be a part of a great thing, call 779-5190.

OPINION Letters

KingstonCommunityNews.com

July 2013

One field for games makes sense I am writing this letter in reference to the article, “Mohler: Buc Field never meant for games,” June 21 KingstonCommunityNews .com. I find it totally incredible that this issue has even any merit for discussion — yet it is believable. Having attended many of the preplanning meetings for Kingston High School after bond passage, the one apparent stand-out feature was that this was to be a legacy project for the then-superintendent of the district and some aging school board members, but it was poorly thought out. I won’t go into a lengthy dissertation about the questionable decision of choosing the parcel of land KHS was built on, with its restrictive-use wetland areas and now, apparently, its habitat and environmentally imposing threats. At this point, what needs to be addressed is the school board and district administration’s lack of leadership during the planning stages of KHS. This article alludes to making North Kitsap Stadium a mutually shared space, like many other multi-high school districts do, leaving it up to the two ASBs and coaching staffs to work out the details. Utopianism? If you dig into the Herald’s archives and read some of the commentaries published a few years back, several NK (Viking) voices gave scathing replies about showing any colors other than purple and gold — “not OUR stadium.” It was like asking them to accept a sex offender into their neighborhood. Nice district support! I am a proud Kingston community member and parent in the KHS Buccaneers’ family, yet I do support the concept of a shared facility for athletic competitions. As nice as it would be to have your own home field to play on, this

day and age dictates it is not fiscally the best alternative. The leadership during the building of this school failed to adequately address this issue that now is haunting us. The adults in the NKSD community need now to step up, deal with the reality — it’s the way it is going to be — and guide our children positively in that direction. The Bucs’ field and track will remain the quality facility it is for practices; North Kitsap Stadium will be the competitive venue for both schools. Chuck Veilleux Kingston

The high cost of artificial foods There is a war of words starting as Washington state becomes the next state to tackle the labeling controversy. The battleground has moved from California where, even though they were outspent 10 to 1, the grassroots advocates for food safety almost succeeded. Now all eyes are on Washington. Can we be the first to challenge the food giants? The stakes are high for Monsanto. If they lose here, they will lose everywhere. What you’re going to hear is a lot of talk about how much more it will cost you but that’s not the real issue.

Kingston Community News The newspaper of Kingston, Eglon, Hansville, Indianola, Little Boston and Port Gamble since 1983. Circulation: 9,050 Online: KingstonCommunityNews.com

The real issue is should you know what’s in your food? You have to ask yourself, what’s the harm? Why can’t we know? Here’s the puzzle. Why do we have such high health-care costs and why is our health as a nation graded so low compared to other countries? If you can answer that question, you may be able to figure out why companies like Monsanto do not want you to know what is actually in your food. It turns out countries that don’t allow genetically modified foods are rated as the healthiest countries in the world. In the United States, profit is made when we are sick. In countries with single-payer healthcare, the incentive is to keep people healthy. Bottom line, we spend more for healthcare yet lead the world in heart disease, cancer and diabetes. We have an infant death mortality rate higher than Costa Rica. We subsidize cheap artificial foods and we are very, very sick. Profit seems to be the only thing we value. The only way we can turn this around is to educate ourselves and the first thing we need to know is what is in our food. Is it real? Has it been around since mankind or is it some kind of artificial conglomeration that would never happen in nature?

Don’t ignore science behind GMOs After activist attempts failed to legislate laws in California with a labeling food campaign to promote fear of certain types of food, the debate has now moved on to our state. Often a common link with the protests is the anti-corporate and free-market beliefs accompanied with the attacks. Reading about pasteurization and the science that saved so many lives perfecting that process I believe is relevant to the debate about the attempt to force food suppliers to label their products to promote fear. What difference does it make if Louis Pasteur helped corporations produce more products in regards to the scientific basis of his findings? The science behind it is the same regardless. Interesting enough, recently scientists have been able to scientifically alter cow See LETTERS, Page 5

Canoe Journey visits Point Julia July 20 LITTLE BOSTON — The Canoe Journey — the annual gathering of Northwest Native canoe cultures — stops in Suquamish July 19 and Port Gamble S’Klallam July 20. This year’s visits will be more intimate than previous years. Canadian and North Sound canoes are traveling to Vancouver Island en route to the final destination of the Quinault Nation on Washington’s Pacific Coast. Suquamish and Port Gamble S’Klallam are hosting canoes only from South Sound; those canoes will proceed along the Olympic Peninsula en route to Quinault. More than 100 canoes are expected to visit Quinault Aug. 1-6. Suquamish Cultural Activities Director Tina Jackson said the Suquamish Tribe will host about 10-12 canoe families, incliuding Nisqually, Puyallup and Squaxin.

Continued from page 4 milk to address allergies in infants; this helps 3 percent of our children. The American Medical Association is opposed because “there is no scientific justification for special labeling of bioengineered foods.” Every major scientific and regulatory agency — including the National Academy of Sciences, the World Health Organization, EPA, FDA, and USDA — recognizes the importance of genetic modification. In Africa, a bacterium causes diseases to the banana crops that is needed for millions of people for food and as a means of making a living. Uganda lifted its ban on GMOs for the sake of lives. Making GMOs available to the developing world is not

only humanitarian, it is scientifically supported by the best scientific and medical minds. Scientists are even devising crops to deal with global challenges such as climate change. For example, researchers are developing drought-resistant corn, and other scientists have proposed engineering plants to become more proficient at sequestering carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Our environment has been cleaned up by the lack of need for insecticides. Science is even developing plants that sequester carbon dioxide emissions, better fighting the possible ill effects of global warming. So when organizations like Greenpeace come out with theories and scare tactics that support a belief, I choose to trust science. Mick Sheldon Kingston

canoes will be greeted by S’Klallam canoes on the water and welcomed on the beach by dignitaries — and a clam bake, for which Port Gamble S’Klallam is famous. Dinner and an evening of cultural sharing will follow in Little Boston. Canoes depart Point Julia July 21. Each Canoe Journey is a test of mental, physical and spiritual readiness; some

canoes will travel as far as 400 nautical miles from their home territories to Quinault. Pullers are hosted by indigenous nations along the way, with each stop filled with the sharing of traditional foods, languages, songs, dances and other teachings. S’Klallam canoe skipper Laura Price uses the Journey to teach the language. Pullers sing songs and keep pace using chants in the S’Klallam language. “We look at our language as living,” Price said. “When you incorporate the language on the water, it’s like old friends — the canoe and the language — coming together.” To volunteer at the events in Little Boston, contact Jonelle Grady, 297-6276 or jgrady@pgst.nsn.us.

2013 Grad Night Party

Thank You!

There are few events in life more significant than one’s high school graduation. The KHS Grad Night Planning Committee provided Kingston High School seniors with a safe, alcohol and drug free Party, to celebrate the occasion! The 2013 Grad Night Party was on June 15, after graduation ceremonies. This year’s event started out with a red carpet photo shoot by Brad Camp. The grads then enjoyed an all night party at 2 venues that include a cruise and laser tag. The expense of scholarships, transportation, facilities, activities, food, beverages and prizes was more than $20,000. This money was raised throughout the year with ticket sales, fund raisers and donations. The Parent’s of Seniors worked all year long to plan and raise money for this event. We sincerely appreciate all the support and help we’ve received. A huge thanks to the Suquamish Indian Tribe who was our largest single contributor. Many local merchants helped by purchasing ads to sponsor our T-shirt sales or sponsored a fund raising event like the first annual Buccaneer Fun Run, sponsored by the Kingston Rotary. Other contributers included: Windermere Real Estate, Central Market, Albertson’s, Sun Rise Hill Farm, Silverdale Lowes, Home Depot, Trader Joes, Silverdale Safeway, Fred Meyer, Kingston High School Jazz Quartet, Grub Hut, Kingston IGA, Allstate, Kingston Pizza Factory, Edward Jones, Ale House, Apple tree Cove Dental Center, Anchor Chiropractic, Drew’s Glen, Harbor Hair Design, Cold Wet Noses, Kingston Crossing Wellness Clinic, G.T. & Assoc. And many thanks to all the parents and teachers who volunteered their time, there were many. Parent/Community planned graduation programs have proven to be a powerful influence in the prevention of alcohol and drug related vehicle accidents involving 18 year olds. As our seniors celebrated the completion of a major educational challenge, we were committed to providing an alcohol/drug free celebration as an alternative to the tradition of making high school graduation an occasion of drinking and driving. Our goal was to keep this year’s graduation safe and free of any accidents.

Thanks for your help!

It’s time for a debate on NSA surveillance as it turns out By marylin olds emails, chats, blogs, documents, photos, videos, cell phone GPS signals and connection logs. And we used to think the IRS had too much of our information. This feels like George Orwell and Aldous Huxley rolled into one scary sci-fi scenario. Talking points for supporters of the NSA surveillance program as it stands now include: n It has done great good in helping prevent and/or disrupt terrorist events in America and other countries around the world. Terrorists want to repeat 9/11 and we have to do whatever it takes to stop that from happening. These programs only work when done in secrecy. n The 21st century war is

different and requires new ways and methods of gathering information. Our government will do the right thing. Both programs are authorized by law and overseen by Congress and the courts, subject to oversight. There is no violation of the Constitution. President Obama says, “You can’t have 100 percent security and also have 100 percent privacy and zero inconvenience. We’re going to have to make some choices as a society.” Talking points for those opposed to the NSA surveillance programs as they stand now include: n Most Americans appreciate our government’s vigorous pursuit of terrorists. There is no question that we all want and expect our government to keep us safe. One issue hinges around the possibility of our security goals being realized by less intrusive means, perhaps without harming our basic civil rights and demo-

cratic freedoms. Shouldn’t it be possible to be both safe and free? n Not everyone believes the government will always do the right thing, for historical reasons. Having nothing to hide or feel guilty about in our daily lives doesn’t necessarily mean we want to lose our constitutional privacy and freedom. Another issue: Is there enough oversight, enough protection or controls to make sure the government can’t misuse our information? Having good faith isn’t enough. Two members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Ron Wyden of Oregon and Mark Udall of Colorado, have been raising warnings. They say an enormous gap exists between what the Patriot Act law allows and what the government interprets it as meaning, making it nearly impossible for an informed public debate. At issue is the interpretation of Section

surprise came this June that the government is using the Patriot Act to require phone companies to turn over their data on Americans. Then, a day later, a larger surprise came when we found out about PRISM, a mega-data program collecting our personal information from Internet companies. Phone companies ordered to allow access to their information to the National Security Agency apparently include Verizon, AT&T, CenturyLink and BellSouth. Data said to be collected includes which telephone numbers are dialing which numbers, when dialed, how long the call took, and what location they are made from and to. Ser vice providers ordered to deliver data to NSA (and the FBI) apparently include Google, Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL, Facebook, Twitter, Skype and YouTube. Data said to be collected includes

215, once called the Library Records Provision. The senators have called for more disclosure on how the phone surveillance is run. “The American people must be given the opportunity to evaluate the facts about this program and its broad scope for themselves, so that this debate can begin in earnest.” As it turns out, it’s most likely that Congress will be the source to compel transparency. Once again, more pressure could be of help there from frustrated constituents. It’s still early in the game; lots of lawsuits and lots of players involved coming forward. It’s important not to surrender to the old belief that there is no changing the powers that be. Let’s try not to lose our sense of what’s acceptable and what’s not. — Contact columnist Marylin Olds at marylin. olds@gmail.com.

Kitsap Forest & Bay: Cause to celebrate O

From their stop in Point Julia, the canoe families (including our own) will continue their journey, eventually landing at Taholah in Quinault on Aug. 1. The annual Canoe Journey is a time to celebrate our culture and traditions. The canoe teaches and reminds us of our core values, including personal and cultural pride as well as respect for the environment. Canoes will begin arriving at Point Juila during the afternoon of July 20. We encourage you to come down to the beach and experience it for yourself. Point Julia and Port Gamble Bay provide a cultural, spiritual and geographic connection to our Tribe’s ancestral village

n July 20, canoes taking part in the annual Canoe Journey will land on the beach at Point Julia. A landing site since our Tribe began participating in 1989, Point Julia represents the point in the journey where the Olympic Peninsula, Alaskan and Canadian tribes meet up with tribes from the south side of the Puget Sound. Point Julia has actually become one of the favorite spots on the journey every year. Our Tribe is known for its hospitality and clambakes and we make sure our visitors have a place to camp out and food to eat. Many members of our community open their homes for showers, laundry and warm beds for elders.

When the Kitsap Forest & Bay Project kicked off in 2011, it seemed like a near impossible and all-too-complicated endeavor — and this is coming from someone who is very much a supporter. Truth be told, it might not have gotten as far as it has without the support of our community partners, specifically those that are a part of the Kitsap Forest & Bay Coalition. These individuals and the groups they represent have worked tirelessly to promote the project and educate the community as to why preserving this land and the outdoor recreation it supports is so vital, not only to our collective overall health, but also for our economic health.

I send a big congratulations to our partners with the Kitsap Forest & Bay Project. On May 17, during land conservation group Forterra’s annual fundraising breakfast, a crowd of more than 2,000 first heard the news: a purchase agreement has been signed with landowner Pope Resources for 535 acres of forestland and 1.5 miles of shoreline along Port Gamble Bay. Forterra has been working with us, Pope Resources, Kitsap County and the Suquamish Tribe — all principal partners — and the Great Peninsula Conservancy to make the project’s goal of conserving almost 7,000 acres of North Kitsap forestland and 1.8 miles of Port Gamble Bay shoreline a reality.

Summer begins with exciting news at the Port I

n the Pacific Northwest, everyone waits longingly for summer to get here. Our favorite season has finally arrived and we are getting a few great periods of nice sunny days in between shorter stints of showery weather. That’s as good as it gets right now and we love it! Down at the Port of Kingston, the crew has been preparing the lawns and gardens for you to enjoy as much as you can over the next three or four months. Beginning with a charity concert benefiting Children’s Hospital on June

28, musical entertainment will be the standard each Saturday evening through the end of August. The Farmers Market is up and running and will produce its own musical shows each Saturday. Another event we all wait patiently for is our Dungeness crab season. I consulted the state Fish and Wildlife website and found the upcoming season: It opens at July 1 at 7 a.m., closes July 2-3. Then it opens Thursday through Monday each week through Labor Day, Sept. 2. I have been told by some of my Native American crabbing friends that we are looking

Kingston Inn property. I can tell you that, yes, the Port of Kingston is the new owner of that property and that it will be developed into a park. Through the Kitsap Community Foundation and an anonymous donor, the property was purchased and gifted to the Port to be developed into a park. It will take us a while to develop the land, but if you like what you see in Mike Wallace Park and the promenade along the moorings, I am sure that you will enjoy what we are planning for this new property. If the subject is not adequately covered in other places, I will go into more details in my August Down at the Port. I don’t know if it is just me, but it seems like there is a lot of positive stuff going on around town. The Senior Housing project is taking shape, Pea Patch gardens are sprouting next door to

that project, paddle boards are back out on the bay, a few new businesses are opening up and many people just seem to be a little happier with life these days. It has been a tough few years for lots of people around here. Here’s hoping that things are getting better. Have you ever “Moused a hook”? Some of our old loggers around town might recognize this Nautical Term of the Month: Mousing a hook. This is the use of small stuff (light weight line or small ropes) to close the jaw of the hook and thereby prevent a line or other load from slipping out past the point. Enjoy summer!

he is well maintained and clean but definitely is showing her age. She is closed and locked to the public much of the time. When she is open and in use, one only has to step into the main hallway in order to notice the huge black lock on the doors to the main room that once was a center of community activities — plays, community events, meetings, etc. She continues to house the Kingston Library branch, which is a bright welcoming center of knowledge, friendliness, and activity. The library is open six days a week for a minimum of four hours on Tuesday and Saturday, and

longer the other work days. A variety of story times and activities are provided for children during the year. The Senior Center (no longer named on its doors), with its own gentle ramp from the parking area, is still open at least twice a week during library hours for lunches. The well stocked basement kitchen is used at that time so that hot meals can be provided. Foot care is provided there once a month by appointment, too. This was the Bayside Community Church before it became the community center. I have heard that the church was outgrowing its building and was look-

The experience was quite surreal, the entire day a blur. It is hard to believe that it happened and it still has not settled in. The Class of 2013 made it through, put in their time, and are now free; we can make our own decisions and there is nobody that can tell us otherwise. It is up to us to make the right choices. We are free to go where we want and do as we please, continue on to college and study what we want, or start a career right away.

the buc stops here By KYLER LACEY tag, and a game of “Fear Factor” with your best friends — what could be better? A shout out to the parents who put it together is definitely deserved; they could not have done a better job and I thank them for all the work they went through for us. The only sad thing about the whole night was the thought in the back of all of our minds: This is the last time we will all be together in the same place. The whole experience is over. High school and all of its youthful turmoil is over. We all made it through the jumbled mess of school work, hormones and dramatic encounters, pulling it off with our diplomas and our new emerging selves to boot. I know I have grown and changed these last four years, more than any other time in my life. I am more grown up, responsible and definitely a lot smarter — though I still have much to learn, as we all do.

FAB proud to honor scholarship winners T

he arts students we got to know in the 2012-13 year were exceptional, creative, friendly, warmhearted, outright amazing individuals who gave us immense hope. Sixteen drama, music, visual arts and debate students received scholarships or awards from FAB and eight were featured artists in this column. Ten of the scholarships went to AP (Advanced Placement) visual arts students for their AP test fees. At the districtwide Festival of the Arts in May,

Fab Spotlight By Marilyn Bode FAB awarded first prize to Devon Jacob for his sculpture, second prize to Olivia Gurney for her drawing, and third prize to Chealsey Rosebrook for her photography.

ing through my art is such a gratifying experience.” Music teacher Casey Whitson recommended Sonya: “She holds a most important position in the character of the music ensembles at KHS. She is a determined, consummate professional who leads by example. She wears the mantle of reliable dedicated student leadership 24/7. She supplies the strong foundation with her huge tuba/sousaphone sound.” “Every human being wants to be heard,” Sonya said. “To be heard is what band is all about. Expression is what we spread with every note. In four years band has encouraged me to explore and excel. I’ve been given the gift of facing my fears and anxiety.” Dee MacKinnon, debate advisor, quoted Vince Lombardi in describing Victor: “It is time for us

and plays, in debates and in the marching band. You know how exceptional they are. On June 4 at the KHS Scholarship and Awards Banquet, FAB was proud to award scholarships to three college-bound seniors: Cailyn Crossland, Sonya Redbird and Victor Morgan. Visual arts teacher James Andrews wrote of Cailyn: “... thoughtful introspection as to what she wants to say with her art has been the driving factor in Cailyn’s development as an artist. Her sculptures can be jarring but are powerful in their communication with the viewer.” Cailyn wrote, “My concentration this year was ‘Preventative Diseases’ and I loved being able to combine art and medicine.

to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever, the one who recognizes the challenge and does something about it.” Victor is a four-year, fourstar debater. He is a musician — clarinet, piano, composer and singer. Whitson sings Victor’s praises. “He displays a huge level of personal dedication, teamwork, leadership, cultural and creative thinking.” “My musicianship and math skills have been mutually reinforcing,” Victor said. “Making oneself practice regularly is a challenge but, it becomes easier to regulate one’s time in other areas. Music has helped me grow in uncountable ways.” These students prove the value of the arts in our schools and in our communities. Stand up for fully funded arts programs in North Kitsap School

Graduation

Continued from page 14 At the end of this summer, it is “goodbye Kingston” for me and “hello Spokane.” Classes at Whitworth start early so I will be heading there in late August. I will be pretty much on my own, student loans and all. It will be time to get my first real job and time to start buying my own food, doing my own laundry, and making my own lunch. Thank you so much, North Kitsap School District, for the education you have given me. Thank you everyone who helped me get where I am and thank you for not giving up

on me. Thank you to all of the staff at Olympic College for being so helpful, friendly and pushing me to be a better student. Thank you to all of my friends who I would not have been able to do it all without. Thank you to Rachael for being there when I need you to be, and most of all thank you to my mom and dad — I could not have done any of this without you guys. Thank you all for reading what I write and coming back to read again and again. Writing this has been an incredible experience and I love hearing everybody’s comments in the community.

Learning what it takes to be a teacher, and student I

t was a dream job. The kind that alternately charms and challenges, but in the end makes you eager to grab your coffee mug and get in the car each morning. For the last three months of the school year I assisted in a fourth-grade classroom at Wolfle Elementary. Mainly, my role was to help the kids with their work and accompany them to their specialist classes — music, PE and library. Occasionally, I had sole (and, fortunately for everyone, momentary) charge of the class. Often, I was required to eat cupcakes. I learned so many things.

on kingston time By wendy tweten First of all, I learned that kids are amazing. The kids in my adopted classroom were fun, funny, smart and

sometimes mischievous, which — in my opinion — is just how kids should be. Never again will I be able to hear the word “duty” without the echo of a giggle and the words, “It says Lewis and Clark did their doody!” I learned that good teachers are magical. They know how to walk the fine line between authority and affection with their kids. And there is no one right way to accomplish this. They guide their classes through endless mazes of mandated tests. They make the mundane as enjoyable as possible. They educate, encourage, and stave off mutiny on a daily basis.

I learned that Wolfle Elementary is a very good place to be. Not only does the staff work hard to educate each and every student, but the atmosphere of the school itself is cheerful and welcoming. It’s a tight and supportive community that reflects the goodhumored leadership of Principal Ben Degnin, named a 2012 Regional Distinguished Principal by the Elementary School Principals Association of Washington. I learned that music and PE are as integral to student learning as textbooks and computers. There was a joy to the early morning

Kiwanis donations given, honors awarded Kingston A Kiwanis s July 4 quickly approaches, our Kiwanis club is busy helping Kingston have another successful 4th of July celebration. We donated $500 to Pete DeBoer, president of the foundation responsible for organizing the parade, fireworks and Tiny Town.

Club to use when it moves to its permanent home at the Village Green. The Kiwanis Club and Village Green Executive Director Nick Jewett are working on a permanent endowment to the Boys and Girls Club. The summer food program, a joint effort with Rotary and Kiwanis, is well

How Does Spinal Decompression Work? Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is computer guided, state-of-the-art equipment that slowly lengthens and decompresses the spine, creating negative pressures within the disc. This reversal of presssure creates a vacuum that helps to re-position bulging discs and pull extruded material back into place, taking pressure off of pinched nerves. Spinal experts believe that nutrients, oxygen and fluids are drawn into the disc to create a vitalized environment conducive to healing of degenerating discs.

PE games: kids who lived to move thrived on pushing themselves to their limits; more sedate students were swept up in the action — with a smile on their faces. The music program was well-rounded, with an introduction to music reading, music history, and handson performance. It made me wish there’d been such a program in my own childhood days at Wolfle (yes, I’m an alum). The kids have an incredible array of personalities and talents. One girl plans to become an astrophysicist. Another made caramels for the last day of school. One boy performs in local shows

and musicals; another could all but reach the gym roof on a pogo stick. But all of them, even those without a conspicuous skill or hobby, are awesome. They deserve to be accepted for who they are and what they can do, and challenged to consider the world of possibilities that lie ahead. So, to all my friends at Wolfle, have a great summer! Stay sweet (as yearbook signers say). I’ll see you in fall! And I expect a cupcake. — Contact Wendy Tweten at wendy@wendytweten.com

on the last Saturday in July the public is invited to tour several landscaped yards and â€Ś well, gardens. One ticket, for $10, will get you directions and entrance to any or all of them. Tickets are available from any Ladies Aid member, from the Hansville Store and from Dragonfly Farm and Nursery. This year, there are six individual families offering to show you their beautiful plants and trees and yards: n â€œBumblewoodâ€? is named this because they imported special bees and

have provided them with special plants for them that will make the bees flourish. n â€œGazebo By the Bayâ€? is located on Admiralty Inlet. A wonderful view and a lovely garden all in one stop. n â€œMaple Madnessâ€? has several different kinds of maple trees, all of varied colors (but youâ€™ll have to ask them if they tap any for maple sap to make syrup.) n â€œPark-like Settingâ€? is just that â€Ś a lovely stretch of green grass with various flowerbeds and even a shade garden that will lead

you to the wooded area behind it. n â€œGreen Gable Innâ€? is surrounded by a white picket fence and youâ€™ll notice the lovely home surrounded by the many flowers and plantings. n â€œMy Family and Friends Gardenâ€? is named this because so many of the plants and flower starts came from family and friends. One last note about this special tour of beauty. Heidi at Dragonfly Farms and Nursery (34881 Hansville Road NE) will also have

tickets and will be offering a Garden Festival on this same day. This event will be complete with prizes, special prices and fun for everyone. Donâ€™t forget, the annual Hansville Rummage Sale is on Aug. 10-11. Itâ€™s just around the corner and well worth a look-see. You never know what treasure youâ€™ll go home with, and at a wonderful bargain. The fun never stops here in Hansville. â€” Contact Donna Lee Anderson at WellToldTales@ aol.com.

Washington State Ferries to study traffic congestion and fares T

wenty-five Kingstonians met in a stuffy community center June 10 to confer with David Moseley about the state of the state ferries. Hereâ€™s some highlights: n Ferry traffic: Thanks to a push by Commissioner Rob Gelder, WSFâ€™s looking into ferry traffic congestion by: 1. Fully utilizing the holding area; moving parked cars and stuff elsewhere will add three more lanes. 2. Preventing the hold-up of cars at the toll booths; this includes keeping access to the passenger drop-off clear. 3. Providing Kingston and Edmonds delay info on WSDOTâ€™s electronic highway signs.

4. Fixing the tally signs. Thereâ€™ll also be a meeting with the State Patrol to see if the tally system can be tweaked to give riders more time to stop and shop. n Fares: Transportation Commission fare proposals include 2.5 percent increases this year and next; changes to fares for small cars, youth, and three-wheeled motorcycles; and a reservation cancellation penalty. There will be two July public meetings in Kitsap for comments, or you may e-mail transc@ wsdot.wa.gov. Check the commissionâ€™s website for details. n 144-car ferries: A new Olympic-class ferry will be delivered in 2014 and another in 2015. They will

FERRYFARE Kingston Ferry Advisory Committee replace Evergreen Stateclass boats, like Tillicum, which are 60 years old. They cost $140 million each, or $970,000 per car space. While acknowledging the value of competitive bids, WSF pointed out that single-bid, built-in-Washington ferry procurement was directed by the Legislature. n LNG: WSF continues working on a proposal to save fuel costs by converting Issaquah-class ferries to liquefied natural gas. Using existing boats for

this doesnâ€™t hold up the production of 144-car ferries, and can use the existing engines. The Issaquah boats will have enough life left to pay off the conversion cost. n Ferry funding: WSF reported that the approved ferry budget for 2013-15 provides the current service at fare increases of 2.5 percent per year. After that, we need the 10 cents-per -gallon gas tax to avoid service cuts and bigger fare hikes. To help put this in perspective, hereâ€™s a short history of Washingtonâ€™s transportation funding. In Washington, the funding for transportation is totally separate from other state programs. Before 2000, WSDOT got its sup-

This is a great chance to promote Kingston and other North-end businesses. You can welcome these visitors by giving them great customer service and values. Early birds begin their day by participating in the Kingston Rotary Fun Run, a family friendly event. Most people stay in town for the entire day, eating meals, shopping, enjoying the concerts at Mike Wallace Park and ending the day with the fireworks show which begins around 10:30 that night. All of this is made possible by a great group of volunteers with Pete DeBoer at the helm. The Kingston 4th of July Committee organizes the parade and Kiwanis help with the staging. Kingston Beautification Committee organizes the Ball Race and tons of volunteers help with Tiny Town, the children’s carnival. My thanks to all who give their time and talents to make this day a great success. On July 4th, we celebrate Independence Day, and Kingstonians typify the independent spirit.

July 2013

Our “Person of the Year” is somone that has consistently gone “above and beyond” with their time and talents to make Kingston a great place to live, work and conduct business. This year, we are very pleased to present Jerry Kirschner and Nancy Langwith our “Persons of the Year Award”. Jerry and Nancy grew up in the Midwest and both earned advanced degrees from Purdue. After long corporate careers, they moved aboard their sailboat and took to the sea for an incredible 12 year adventure. The first time they saw Kingston, arriving from the south, they noticed what looked like old military barracks on the left. They were drawn to our small town surrounded by towering trees and beautiful beaches. Their first impression was quite positive and they left thinking “We might settle here!” They returned by the same route a year later and saw that the barracks had been replaced by a park.

CHAMBER GOES NUTS!

The Grand Opening of CB’s Nuts expanded retail space and Café was celebrated during a Greater Kingston Chamber After Hours Event on June 13th. Chamber members and Kingston Visitor Center Volunteers gather around CB’s owners, Clark & Tami Bowen, as they cut the ceremonial ribbon. Guests were treated to the cafe’s specialty sausage dog sliders and locally crafted beers and wines. Many guests left with arms full of the delicious roasted peanuts & pistachios and a great time was had by all!

At first they thought they were mistaken, but learned that not only had the barracks been turned into a park, it was done completely by volunteers from the local community. That realization spoke volumes to them about the people of Kingston and the community spirit. They found their dream property just off of Jefferson Point Road and staked their claim on dry land. It didn’t take long to see the community members in Kingston lead by doing and this inspired Jerry and Nancy. They quickly became involved with community activities in a big way. Jerry’s focus has been on Economic Development. He led the Passenger Only Ferry Advisory Committee (POFAC), ran for Port Commissioner and now chairs the Greater Kingston Economic Development Council. Nancy co-founded the North Kitsap Tourism Consortium (NKTC) and chairs the group whose mission is to promote tourism through joint-marketing and advocacy. She also sits on the Kingston Citizens Advisory Committee (KCAC) and the Events Committee of the Kingston Chambers, chaired the KCAC Open House, Yack and Snack, in 2013 and is the co-founder and Chair of the Membership Development Committee of the Kingston Cove Yacht Club. She also sits on the GKEDC. Both Nancy and Jerry are individual members of the Kingston Chamber, the Kingston Stakeholders and the Kingston Cove Yacht Club. Look for them at one of their many committee meetings or around town and give them a high five for all they do for our community. Thanks Jerry and Nancy!

Have you seen it? There is a HUGE pop of color and graphic FUN on the walls of the Century Link building in downtown Kingston at the corner of State RT 104 – headed west - and Ohio. The new mural celebrates our local history with images of past and present that wrap the building and replaces the sign that served us well for over 13 years but had suffered fading, weather wear and most recently graffiti tagging. The concept for the collage style mural came from local business owner Susan Rodgers (Cleo’s Landing). Her pitch to the Stakeholders – an urban development committee of the Chamber of Commerce – allowed the concept to develop with their financial support. Bradley Pugh, local resident, artist and Landscape Architect was asked to sketch the images used. S and J Graphics, a local signage company imprinted those images onto metal panels which can be changed. Changing times, events, and even award acknowledgements may be inserted as desired. The project was funded by contributions from the Stakeholders, Commissioner Rob Gelder, and Olympic Property Group. Century Link was actively involved and graciously allowed the new installation on their concrete block building.

Some of the art images will be used on merchandise to help fund future signage projects in town.

The war on hunger and fighting malnourishment D

uring World War II, home gardening and canning were considered patriotic duties because they reserved the nation’s farm products for the armed forces and our struggling allies. The home garden effort was promoted everywhere, from newsreels to billboards, with slogans like “Grow Vitamins at Your Kitchen Door” and “Dig for Victory Now.” There had been similar efforts during World War I, but the program didn’t reap huge rewards until World War II, when home gardening took on new meaning and was transformed into one of the greatest mass volunteer efforts ever achieved. Almost 20 million garden plots, about one for every six people, were planted in any available space: lawns, parks, playgrounds,

sharenet & you By mark ince vacant lots, school grounds or any civic property. For apartment dwellers in cities, produce was grown on rooftops, on fire escapes, and in window boxes. Cooperatives were formed, neighbors combined resources with neighbors and compared techniques and results. Clubs

of all kinds were founded with produce as their focus. Some of the oldest food co-ops in the country date from Victory Garden patriotism. Contingent commerce saw huge gains, such as sale of seeds and pressure cookers for canning. With this great focus came incredible success. Toward the end of the war the USDA reported that almost half of America's produce was grown in victory gardens. The home harvest tonnage was equal to commercial production. With the war over, focus was lost. There were produce shortages when great numbers of those who had started growing stopped, believing the need was over. There’s a new war being fought right in our backyards, and that’s the war on hunger. Estimates vary,

depending on who’s doing the study and the metrics, but a fairly consistent baseline is that about one in six people in our country struggle with hunger or malnourishment due to not being able to afford either a complete diet or a nutritious one. Many industrious, selfreliant, Kingston-area residents will tell you home gardens never went out of style, and when you see the zeal around our local nurseries you may well believe it. But in fact the scale achieved during the Victory Garden era dwindled until it was statistically negligible, and home gardening in terms of frequency of homes participating has only enjoyed a renaissance in the past five years or so. This renaissance is largely a result of high

food prices and, secondarily, of heightened nutritional awareness and Baby Boomers’ dedication to living longer. Many home gardeners spread the wealth by sharing their excess with their local food banks, especially during squash season, and we’re always glad to get it. Many have been motivated by the Grow a Row movement, which encourages the responsibility of not only growing at home, but sharing the harvest outside the home. Among the food ShareNet provides to folks in need, produce remains our most challenging segment. Even with excellent local support, such as Valley Nursery who grow a row, we rarely have enough, and also have the challenges any perishable product represents. In years past, food bank distri-

As the new gas taxes were already committed to the megaproject loans, funding to sustain roads, bridges and ferries came up short. So a new gas tax and vehicle-fee increases were proposed to sustain the system and finish the megaprojects.

WE CAN DIG IT!

Get your running legs in gear for July 4 Fun Run

uly 4th will be a busy day in Kingston. Rotarians will be helping families to “rise and shine” with the Kingston 4th of July Fun Run. Clint Boxman is cochairman of the Fun Run, with Dave Roberts of the Kingston Running Club. This event has something for all running skill levels: 10K, 5K and 1-mile dash that will benefit the efforts of the Kingston North Kitsap Rotary Club and the Kingston Running Club. The annual 4th of July Fun Run is now in its sixth year. While competitive runners are welcome to participate, runners of all ages are invited to join in this family-friendly event. And you don’t have to be a runner to participate — you can walk through the course. Non-runners need to know that 10K is 6.2 miles and 5K is 3.1 miles. Last year there were several family entries- including moms or dads with a young one in a stroller. Registration opens at 7 a.m. at the Kingston Medical Center located at Barber Cutoff Road. You’ll want to arrive early to pick up your T-shirt and get your registration number before the race begins at 8:30 a.m. Pre-registration is available online up until July 1 at www.kingstonrunning.org. At that same web address, you can learn more details about the event. However, if on the day of the event you feel like running, there

Rotary News By Nancy martin will be on-site registration, with a $5 late fee. Entry fees range from $5 to $25 depending on your age group and event. Boxman will be out early that morning putting up directional signs to guide you through the courses. Rotarians will be stationed at various intersections to control traffic, allowing the runners to continue without stopping. The 10K course is challenging in that there are some elevation changes.

All courses finish at Village Green Park, where runners will receive their times and awards. New to this year’s fun run will be an electronic chip timing system. Morgan Stanley is one of the major sponsors of this event, along with several local entities that have provided prizes. The 4th of July Fun Run is also a “Fund Run.” Proceeds will benefit the Kingston Running Club, enabling them to send youngsters to running camps in the summer months. Kingston Rotary Club also benefits from the run, using the funds for its SPARK Projects—

FIGHT HUNGER. PUSH LITERACY. STOP DISEASE. CHANGE THE WORLD. ROTARY HUMANITY IN MOTION

Schools and Parks Around Kingston. So if you are looking for a great way to begin a funfilled day, consider joining your friends and neighbors in the Kingston Fun Run. Not only will you have a prime parking space for the parade which starts later in the day, but you’ll also be supporting an event that benefits our Kingston community.

e thank everyone who attended one of the four June Q&A sessions about the Village Green Project. Your thoughts gave us the opportunity to hear what our neighbors are wondering at this point in the project. Typical questions we heard: What are our funding sources and are there any restrictions on these funds? There are three $1 million gifts or grants to the project so far: $1 million from the state Department of Commerce Building Communities Fund for building construction, except for the library portion; $1 million from the C. Keith Birkenfeld Memorial Trust, unrestricted; and $1 million from Kitsap Community Foundation, awarded to Kitsap Regional Library Foundation for exclusive use at the Village Green’s new Kingston branch library. The Village Green Foundation was also awarded $4,000 for senior center furnishings. Some $600,000 from the 2012 sale of the property for the Village Green Senior Apartments is funding joint infrastructure improvements at the site (e.g. road, sewer, electrical) for both the new senior apartments and community center. Kitsap County provided another $335,000 for architectural/engineering work on the new community center. Community members — individuals, community groups, businesses — have contributed $654,000 to the project since 2008. Of that,

Village Green update village green foundation $2,300 was designated specifically for the library, and $1,000 for the Boys & Girls Club. How much money is still needed? The short answer is, we don’t know yet. We started this project estimating construction costs at $6 million for a new community center/library (to replace the building in the middle of State Route 104) and Boys & Girls Club space (to expand the too-small-space at Kingston Middle School). We have devoted the past year to design, engineering and fundraising. Now, we’re reviewing professional cost estimates for construction, furnishings, and financing. Despite holding the line on attractive embellishments, we know the fullyloaded cost will be higher than $6 million. And, not surprisingly, it’s a challenging time to raise money. We are in the process of determining precisely what we can build with the (pretty amazing!) $4.8 million we have. Stay tuned. How soon will construction begin? Earlier this year, the VGF board determined that midJuly is the decision-point for the timing of construction bids. That’s still the plan. The decision to begin in either late 2013 or spring 2014 will depend on the gap

between what we have and what we need as well as construction financing rates and seasonal timing. Will the community center be a “green” building? How environmentally friendly will it be? Our state $1 million grant requires us to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver standards. Project architect Miles Yanick has been a leader in this field for years. We will meet LEED Silver by sourcing building materials locally to minimize transportation costs; and using LED lights, passive solar energy, and recycled materials. The budget for the project is tight — we’re trying to do a lot with a little — so enhancements like solar panels, so attractive in concept, can’t be costjustified. What plans are being made for building security and access? The Village Green Foundation’s mission is to build an energy-efficient, attractive, long-lasting facility to meet our community’s needs for decades to come. The Village Green Metropolitan Park District must maintain and operate the building and the park using the same value proposition — get a lot from our money for everyone. We envision the building open for many hours every day, broadly available to the public; a reception desk staffed by contractors and volunteers who issue cardkeys for access to meeting rooms; and sharing multipurpose flexible spaces.

Having family in Oklahoma makes it doubly funny (by the way, all my family survived the tornadoes).

Don had wanted me to do. The idea was the kids could drive me in my car when needed since most of the kids have trucks, making it hard for me to get in and out of. Our Safeco agent told me the insurance policy must have a licensed driver on it. This had not occurred to me. Son Raymond is now the licensed driver on the insurance, but I still own the car. In order to do this, and he retain his own insurance of many years, I had to drop our umbrella insurance that added extra funds in case of loss on all our possessions. Otherwise, he would have to give up his insurance and go on mine with his vehicles. All is well, as my regular insurance remains in full coverage. It’s these little items that should be questioned ahead of time because the turmoil of losing a loved one leaves the other party feeling overwhelmed. I want to express my

Access is critical to home-buying decisions D

ear Jan: The home we are looking at has the driveway in to it as well as a little roadway behind it to other homes. We were told we would not be able to use that road to get to our backyard. Why would that be? — SN Dear SN: I am glad you discovered early in your home-buying

process that ingress and egress are very important for most directions to/from your prospective home. When buying, you need to know that you have legal access to your property. In cities, that is pretty easy to determine. But when you are buying in the country, it gets harder. Properties that are not on the main roadway need to have a

recorded easement for ingress/egress. So it is my guess that the home you are looking at has a recorded easement to the front of the property but no recorded easement to the road behind the home. Your real estate broker should be able to contact the title company and ask for a copy of the preliminary title report to see if there are any

Overcoming the fear of staying silent spinal Column “F ear lives in our beliefs.” That’s what Dr. David Jackson communicated to an assembly of chiropractors — of which I was one — in Seattle several months back. He went on to say that fear keeps us from telling others what we know we need to tell them because we’re more afraid of what they might say, versus what they might not say. When it comes to sharing chiropractic, he’s more fearful of not telling people than he is at telling them. As he began to witness more and more people falling ill and dying, he became too afraid of the results of staying silent. To illustrate his point, he told us about an encounter he had on the airplane as he was flying up to our meeting. He explained that he had settled in his chair and was very occupied multitasking between his iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro. Nevertheless, he could sense his neighbor peri-

odically peering into his “mobile office” space. With Dr. Jackson’s company name, Epic Practice, emblazoned across his screen, it was obvious he was a chiropractor. And glancing over at her work space, he immediately surmised she worked for a drug company. Silence was finally broken when she asked what he was on his way to do. Dr. Jackson replied enthusiastically that he was headed to Seattle to “light up a bunch of chiropractors.” “Chiropractors, huh?” she replied, as she began posturing herself as if preparing for battle. Dr. Jackson then questioned her with a friendly, playful tone as to what she was going to do. It was then that her posture became even more defensive as she revealed herself as a pharmaceutical representative on the way to a two-day training. Sensing the prickliness of her response, Dr. Jackson

tactfully and without apology took control of the situation. “That’s awesome!” he said. “You must be really good at what you do! My goal as a chiropractor, though, is to make it so you’ll have the opportunity in the future to choose a different profession. If I do my job right, you won’t have to do what you do anymore because there will no longer be a market for it!”

“I desire,” he continued, “to see people not get sick. And you desire to help sick people get well. I just don’t want them to get sick in the first place. So we’re not really against each other. I just have an approach that comes before yours does.” It was obvious his response not only defused her, but blindsided her. Dumbstruck, she conceded it made sense and that no one had ever put it that way before. He then went on to tell her all about chiropractic and how it stands on the fundamental foundation that the body is self-healing

and self-regulating, and that it can do that job magnificently as long as a there is a proper power supply, absent of interference, between the brain and the body. By the end of the twohour flight, this once defensive pharmaceutical rep now wanted to get checked by a chiropractor herself. And before they had landed (thanks to text messaging) she had an appointment — all because he was too afraid of not telling her. — Dr. Thomas R.
