Poulsbo utility rates poised to climb City Council will find revenue or cut costs to plug $300,000 gap By RICHARD D. OXLEY
roxley@northkitsapherald.com
POULSBO — The Poulsbo City Council will discuss, modify
and possibly approve the 2015 budget when it meets again in December. Perhaps the most significant part of the budget, according to Mayor Becky Erickson, is the council’s pursuit of additional revenue for utilities and roads. The council may form a Transportation Benefit District in order to implement a $20 vehicle
license fee. It is also considering raising stormwater and water utility rates, and imposing a cable TV tax. In short: ■ The fee to connect to the water utility would be raised $1,750, bringing it to $4,227. ■ A 13 percent, or $1.63, increase in base water rates is proposed, bringing that rate to

POULSBO — Carol Tong has had a difficult year. Her friends are now asking the community to help. The Nov. 21 burglary of her Poulsbo home occurred just under a year after her son Evan Tong committed suicide. She didn’t work for a period of months and has since lived paycheck to paycheck. That has put a financial strain on her family and she has struggled to keep her home. See BURGLARY, Page A3

ENTRAL VALLEY — The world is a lot faster to Blue Sky Gunhammer, Oglala, since he got out of prison this fall after 20 years. He expresses amazement at the cellphone pictures someone is taking of his beaded artwork. People were shooting photos with film when he went in back in ’94. At this one-acre goat and chicken farm on rural Central
Valley Road, Gunhammer is building a new life. He does his part in helping to take care of the place, which he shares with eight others. The farm is bucolic and far from urban temptations; the nearest bus stop is a mile away. “It’s far enough out of town that you’ve really got to think about getting into trouble,” he said. See COMPASS, Page A8
POULSBO — The setting will be a nurturing and healing one: A forest of alders, cedars and firs. A 1.3-acre park with playground. A walking trail. And neighbors with a shared experience: They’ve escaped domestic violence. And they’re rebuilding their lives. This is the setting of what will be Morrow Manor, a neighborhood of four duplexes in northeast Poulsbo that will be home for women and children who have survived domestic violence and are transitioning into mainstream life. Morrow Manor is transitional, meaning women and their children can stay there for up to See YWCA, Page A7

Suquamish Tribe in talks for habitat acquisition POULSBO — The North Kitsap Trails Association has endorsed the Suquamish Tribe’s proposed acquisition of land historically known as the Place of the Bear. The land — 200 acres — is within a block of land being acquired by Kitsap County from Pope
Resources as part of the North Kitsap Forest and Bay Project. The 200 acres are within the boundaries of the Port Madison Indian Reservation and include the headwaters of several streams, as well as bear and salmon habitat. The Suquamish Tribe is a principal partner in the
North Kitsap Forest and Bay Project. In a Nov. 23 letter to the Kitsap County Board of County Commissioners, the association board of directors wrote that the sale of the Place of the Bear land would provide the required cash match for grants being used to expand Heritage
Park. “Currently there are 8.6 miles of trails within the park and this is the route of the Sound to Olympics Trail, connecting Kitsap communities and the cross state trail,” the letter states. “We believe this set of transactions will be a winwin-win for our community.
The Suquamish Tribe will gain 200 acres within their reservation, the North Kitsap Heritage Park will grow to 800 acres, and the County will have additional funds to leverage for what we hope will be additional Kitsap Forest and Bay park acquisitions.” The letter concludes,
“The North Kitsap Trails Association supports the sale of the Place of the Bear to the Suquamish Tribe and the coming expansion of North Kitsap Heritage Park.” The letter is signed by Linda Berry-Maraist, president of the North Kitsap Trails Association.
Burglary
her daughter one day. But it’s not just the financial loss that is being felt, it’s also the sentimental, compounded by the death of her son in December 2013. Eleven months after his passing, Tong is grieving again. “They took my son’s old phone that had pictures on them that I hadn’t completely transferred over to my phone yet,” Tong said. Evan’s wallet, which she kept under her mattress, is also gone. “They even messed with my son’s urn, with his ashes,” Tong said. “It’s on the table in my living room. They tried to get into that.”
harmed. Her daughter was away — en route home from college, facing slow traffic over the Cascade Mountains. Tong’s father, however, may have been in the home during the theft. He came over to run a load of laundry that day. “They were either in the house while my dad was doing his laundry or went out the window and came in after he finished his laundry because my room was completely ransacked,” she said. Tong’s room wasn’t ransacked when her father came over, she said. Her father did notice, however, some papers were strewn about the floor, but assumed that a family cat had made the mess. The window screen in Evan’s old room was pushed inside his room, but nothing else was amiss. Her father then
left. Hours later, Tong returned home from work. Her home was further tossed about and her valuables were stolen. She said that of all the things taken, she would like the burglars to return the sentimental box and the things that she kept of her late son. “Please bring me back my boxes with the things they don’t want,” she said she would ask the thieves. “They would know.”
month, and my friend that I talked with about this, he set this fund up so that I could pay my mortgage,” Tong said. “I’ve been fighting to keep my home.” The fund was set up by Tong’s friend, Richard Koven. He has known Tong for more than 10 years, he said. Tong’s children have been friends with Koven’s children “for years,” he said. “There was a period of time when I was going through turmoil with my personal life and she [helped me],” Koven said. “Now, fast forward and I’m in a good place … she’s had a lot of tragedy.” Koven said Tong’s home was a sort of safe haven for local children and teenagers. It became a place to hang out after school. After work, Tong would come home, count all the people at her house, and make din-
ner, Koven said. “It was just a safe place,” he said. “She just gave and never took back for herself.” After the burglary, Koven said he saw social media posts from Tong that didn’t fit — feelings of despair. It was not typical. “It’s just so violating,” Koven said of the burglary. The Kovens saw an outpouring of support for Tong on social media after the burglary. They decided to create the GiveForward site to provide another tool for the community to show support. “All these people love her and want to know how to help,” Koven said. “This is the way I felt we could come together as a community and help her. “It’s not just the money … it’s the sense of community and love.”
pens is that our revenues generally come in higher and our expenses come in lower.” “With $300,000, we gen-
erally can find that in revenues or cut our costs,” Erickson said.
Continued from page A1 “I’ve raised my children in my home and I don’t want to lose it,” Tong said. When burglars scavenged her home, they picked through valuables, taking jewelry, boxes, and cash that Tong saved to make her next mortgage payment. Then there’s the boxes that Tong collects, one being a jewelry box her uncle brought back from serving overseas in the military. She has had it since she was 8. That box was taken. In it was her late son’s baby teeth, as well as her daughter’s. “That, to me, was sentimental because I had so few things left of him,” she said. Also stolen: a wedding ring she planned to give to

We will pass it hopefully in the first week in December.” During the Nov. 19 hearing on the budget, several residents spoke to the council’s plan to raise rates. Most agreed that costs to the city are going up, but questioned whether taxes and raising rates were the solution, as opposed to trimming city government. One person suggested privatizing the stormwater utility. Erickson plans to come with answers to such con-

cerns in December, but she provided a “snapshot” of the argument for the increases during the meeting. “In 1994, 20 years ago, the population of Poulsbo was 5,415 people and we employed 79.2 FTEs. Of those 79.2, 16 [worked for] our fire department,” she told the council. “If you take those fire department people out, it comes to 63.2 FTEs.” With a little math, those numbers equate to 86 residents per city employee, Erickson noted. “In 2014, we have 85.36 FTEs and we have a population of 9,975,” Erickson said. “So now we have one employee for every 114 people. The population has increased 80.52 percent and the FTEs have gone up 35 percent. “When people talk about shrinking government — holy smokes, we’ve been shrinking government. We’ve been doing it for 20 years.” Erickson said she and
the council are trying to be conservative with the rate increases, but there isn’t much of a choice. “The biggest change is the increased maintenance in our stormwater and water departments, which is essential,” she said. “We have gotten behind in our maintenance, we need to catch up and we have federal mandates for stormwater that we need to meet. These aren’t really choices. We must do this. “I hope citizens understand that it is the prudent thing to do — to get it done and get it fixed and make sure it stays fixed.” Going into December, the preliminary budget leaves a relatively small gap between expenditures and revenues, though Erickson said that happens every year, especially when dealing with so many numbers. The council will take a closer look in December. “We always have a gap,” she said. “There is an expectation that we might

IN OUR OPINION
Be part of the local safety net Donations to the Poulsbo Lions/Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund make a big difference in local lives
I
f you gave to the Poulsbo Lions/Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund in 2013, you made a big difference in someone’s life — possibly someone you know. Since its inception in 1946, the Poulsbo Lions/Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund has helped provide food, emergency shelter and emergency financial assistance to North Kitsap residents in need. There is no overhead; every penny goes back into the community, according to John Macdonald, co-chairman of the fund. In 2013, the fund helped more than 350-400 households make their rent payment, keep the heat and lights on, and meet emergency needs. In 2013, the fund ensured 100 local families had food for the Christmas holiday. In 2013, despite the ups and downs of economic recovery, North Kitsap residents dug deep and gave what they could; some gave $5, some gave more. But the donations added up; combined, you gave a remarkable $32,431. Because of money contributed to the Poulsbo Lions/Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund, “We’re able to stretch what we’re doing for people in crisis — whether it’s paying rent, mortgage, or utilities,” Rae Rodriguez said in an earlier interview. She is client services manager of North Kitsap Fishline. “It used to be that folks would come in because of an issue, now it’s because of multiple issues. We’ve been in crisis mode for a couple of years, and we’ve probably tripled our client load since then.” Organizations like North Kitsap Fishline and St. Vincent de Paul Society are coming up with creative solutions to help people meet their basic needs. Fishline, for example, has a home share program, matching people who need a place to live with people who need help paying their mortgage. It also connects clients looking for work with companies and job service providers. But to meet immediate needs, like food and shelter, Fishline and St. Vincent de Paul make good use of the money donated to the Poulsbo Lions/Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund. Fishline and St. Vincent de Paul are a critical part of the safety net in North Kitsap. They are there for you and your family — and your fellow community members — when needed. Contribute to the Poulsbo Lions/Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund and keep the safety net strong. (Consider it a holiday gift to yourself — you make a difference in the community, and you get a tax deduction). Donations can be delivered to the North Kitsap Herald, 19351 8th Ave., Suite 106, Poulsbo, or mailed to P.O. Box 1244, Poulsbo, WA. 98370. Donors’ names will be published each week in the Herald.

LETTERS Poulsbo Port Commission is out of touch I am a boathouse owner in the Port of Poulsbo. I purchased the boathouse three years ago to store my family’s 17-foot fishing boat. I paid the fair market value for the boathouse, which was $30,000. At the time of purchase, the Port of Poulsbo transferred the slip’s lease from the seller of the boathouse to me. This has been the standard practice at the Port of Poulsbo for the last 50 years. Currently, the port commissioners are looking at changing the automatic slip-transfer practice. They believe when the boathouse is sold, the new owners needs to remove the boathouse from the slip and get on the slip waiting list. Unlike boats, 50-year-old boathouses are not re-locatable. The commissioners claim that the current practice of automatic slip transfer is artificially increasing the value of the boathouses and, thus, individuals are making an illegal profit from the sales. A change in practice as proposed by the port will make the value of the boathouses (approximately 12) worthless, since a boathouse without a slip has no value and will eventually be destroyed and sunk by wind and waves in the unprotected waters of the Liberty Bay. The port’s proposed actions are going to cost my family $30,000 plus disposal costs. I’m certain the other boathouse owners are in the same position. Many of the boathouse owners and I have attended multiple port meetings to express our concern for this injustice. There appears to be little interest from the port in maintaining the current practice of automatic slip transfer and little concern of the personal financial impact their proposed actions will have on the boathouse owners. As it looks today, the current boathouse owners are going to be financially damaged by the Port of Poulsbo’s actions. It is my opinion that the Port of Poulsbo commissioners have lost touch with the community they serve and need to step down. RON NUNES Poulsbo
False data blurs Port of Kingston’s impact In the Oct. 18, 2013 North Kitsap Herald’s letters to the editor, then-Commissioner Bissonnette stated the port’s guest dock contributes $1.7 million to Kingston’s economy. I think such a large number’s impact would be more apparent throughout Kingston. Then I came upon this data prepared by port leadership and currently used in their 2012 Master Plan. Local Economic Impact (sec. 6.1) The estimated average dollars spent by each boater to Kingston is $386.49 per boat night. The Port of Kingston had approximately 4,567 boat nights, which generated $1,765,099.83 to the Kingston community in 2011. Source: Dean Runyan Associates, January 2012 I contacted the source for clarification: What is the breakdown or make up of this $386.49? Does it include the cost of moorage and fuel, or does it solely reflect an estimate of dollars spent in local area businesses? Here the response from Bill Klein, project manager, Dean Runyan Associates: “I am responsible for the economic impact work in Washington. We prepared a report for the Washington Destination Marketing Organizations in March 2013 that provides average visitor spending estimates for the counties. We estimated that a travel party (2.5 persons) who stayed overnight in a hotel or motel in Kitsap county spent $387 per night. This includes spending on lodging,

food service, recreation, shopping and local transportation. “We do not have estimates of boat night spending at Kingston, as this would require a custom survey.” I believe a simple exit poll at the guest dock would provide true data for the impact of boaters to the local Kingston economy. The port is earmarking $20,000 in the 2015 budget for undetermined consultant services. I believe the best use would be to update the port’s Mission Statement and Master Plan; paying for some real data and creating a real measurable direction for the economic sustainable future of Kingston.

Why the people voted for change in Congress The letter, “Expect more austerity, not prosperity” (page A4, Nov. 14 Herald) reflects a lack of understanding of our political system. Blaming the opposition political party for winning because they went to vote while the losing party sat on their backsides is rather obtuse. The old saying, “If you do not vote, you deserve what you get,” seems to be appropriate. As far as listing all the things that will not happen because the Republicans have control of the House and Senate, consider perhaps the comment by our president: if you like your doctor, you keep him (her).

magine going to the doctor for a lingering cough and leaving with a diagnosis of lung cancer. That was Poulsbo resident Gwynne Cleveland’s nightmare in 2013, and the news only got worse. Her cancer was Stage IV, had metastasized to her brain and spine, and was considered inoperable. As a lifelong non-smoker who took pride in her Pacific Northwest active and healthy lifestyle, the

diagnosis came as a shock. She quickly learned that lung cancer isn’t a “smoker’s disease.” It can afflict anyone, young adults to the elderly, smokers and non, men and women. In fact, lung cancer is the No. 1 cancer killer of men and women and takes more lives than breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer combined. Its five-year survival rates are dismal; just 4 percent for the unlucky patients — the majority — diagnosed after the cancer has metastasized to other parts of the body. For those who find the cancer in its early stages,
five-year survival shoots up past 50 percent, and our goal now is to raise awareness — the kind of awareness that gets high-risk people screened today, before they have Stage IV cancer and limited options. Gwynne is living proof that treating cancer can be a full-time job: exhaustive research, debilitating treatments that wiped out her energy, numerous trips to the hospital to try different chemo treatments and relieve side effects. Her progress has had its up and downs. In September 2013, the tumor in her brain expand-

Last Christmas brought the good news of no cancer cells found in fluid drained from her lung, yet in May it was determined her cancer had spread to her liver. A clinical trial in Boston proved ineffective, and she’s back in Poulsbo now — researching, waiting, hoping. Gwynne’s advice to others living with lung cancer: be your best advocate. Your doctor is there to guide you, but it’s up to each patient to follow her instincts, research the treatments and

At the American Lung Association, our LUNG FORCE movement is raising awareness and crucial funds to support research into cures, increasing awareness of early detection tools like CT screening, and providing support to patients to help them navigate the medical system and receive the best care possible. “To anyone out there — woman or man — don’t think for one second that you’re not at risk for lung cancer,” Gwynne says. “This can happen to anyone. If you think something’s wrong, go to your doctor and get it checked out. The earlier you find the disease, the easier it is to conquer.” The American Lung Association has developed
a quick quiz to help people determine if they qualify as high-risk and should seek early detection: www.lungcancerscreeningsaveslives. org. We know more about lung cancer than ever before and, with advanced tumor testing and research into targeted therapies, there is real hope on the horizon. We also know that less than onethird of patients diagnosed with lung cancer are smokers — the other two-thirds have already quit or never touched a tobacco product in their life. You do not need to have smoked to get lung cancer. You just need a pair of lungs. — Renee Klein is CEO of the American Lung Association of the Mountain Pacific.
thies to those of you who fall into this category. Unions and Democrats work hand in hand to take away your freedom and make you believe they’re working in your best interest. The teachers’ unions spent nearly $80 million this year to keep their liberal politicians in power, and failed. That money comes from your wallet. You pay their salaries. They strike for more money because the unions who are in bed

Your views are destroying what was once the greatest hope for freedom and liberty in the history of mankind: the United States of America. It’s time to make a decision.

POULSBO — As the regular season was winding down, Sarah Holt’s return to the court was uncertain. Holt’s ankle injury wouldn’t keep her on the bench for too long, but she didn’t have a definite return date as the Vikings prepared for postseason play. Despite one of the varsity team’s top players being out, the Vikings remained unbeaten through the Olympic League tournament Oct. 30 to Nov. 1. “That’s incredible,” Holt said of the Vikings’ efforts while she was out. “We’ve got so many players that we can throw in and expect them to do so well … I couldn’t be happier.” Holt’s absence was fairly short-lived, however. The North Kitsap senior returned in time to play through the district tournament. “I was back at Districts,” she said. “Faster than I thought.” The Vikings became the district champions and earned the No. 1 seed to State for the first time in program history. The Vikings continued unbeaten through the state semifinals. They lost their first match of the season to Tumwater, taking second place in the 2A State Tournament. During the State run, Holt had 88 digs and was 16/16 serving in the semifinal match. Joining Holt on the selection of All-League players are North Kitsap’s Brair Perez, Mareena Clotfelter, Bri Duchemin and Molly Lemmon. Duchemin and Perez led the team in kills through State. Lemmon had the most assists in the semifinal match and the second most digs.
POULSBO — Rebekah Baugh quickly became a formidable foe on the basketball court in the Olympic League. Baugh, a North Kitsap senior, averaged 16.7 points per game during Rebekah Baugh the 201314 season. She averaged 3.2 steals, 4.9 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game as well, according to former varsity head coach Tim French. She made the varsity team her freshman year. Baugh plans to take those skills with her when she attends Saint Martin’s University. She signed her letter of intent with the Saint Martin’s Saints women’s basketball team Nov. 14. The Saints finished their 2013-14 season 18-11. They were 11-3 at home, 6-5 on the road and 1-3 neutral. The Saints are coached by Tim Healy, Kaitlin McBride and Julia Olson. The Saints compete in NCAA Division II. The Saints began the 2014-15 season with a 71-57 win Nov. 14. The 2014-15 Vikings basketball season begins Dec. 2.

They will pay rent, based on what they can afford. Many of them will be participating in the YWCA of Kitsap County’s safety net of supportive services, such as counseling, support groups, and case management. The 2.3-acre site was donated by a member of the Poulsbo/North Kitsap Rotary Club — he’s asked to remain anonymous — and ultimately will be owned by the YWCA of Kitsap County; the park will be deeded to the city. The donor said a niece and her two children had survived domestic violence, and when he learned of the transitional housing project through the Rotary Club, he wanted to help. The YWCA of Kitsap County “does good work,” he said. The duplexes will be named in honor of Ardis Morrow, a longtime advocate for change in domestic violence laws and in DV services in the county. She is the founder of Eli’s House, a duplex of transitional homes in Poulsbo named in memory of her great-grandnephew, a 3-year-old who died after being kicked by his father in 1986. Morrow Manor will be one of three transitional housing opportunities in the area. The other is Tersha’s House in Silverdale, named for Tersha Jo Brown, who was shot to death by her boyfriend in Sacramento in 2009. Advocates say the need for transitional housing is greater than what’s available. According to a Morrow

YWCA of Kitsap County Manor fact sheet, Kitsap County CenCom reported an average of 5,862 domestic violence incidents annually in 2010-13. An average of 1,545, or slightly more than 25 percent of those incidents, were categorized as a “potential danger to life” or “life in jeopardy.” In 2013, the YWCA ALIVE Shelter, which provides temporary emergency housing for women and children affected by domestic violence, was unable to provide shelter or housing for 1,020 women and children because of lack of capacity. (Jackie Brown, director of YWCA’s shelter and housing programs, said when the shelter is full, YWCA reaches out to shelters statewide). In addition, women and children are remaining in the ALIVE shelter longer than the usual 30-60 days because of lack of affordable and safe housing in the county. And yet, a secure home is a key component in recovering from domestic violence. The YWCA’s HomePlus program — the next step for transitional housing residents — helps domestic violence survivors with housing location and placement, financial assistance with housing costs, advocacy and assistance in overcoming barriers such as poor credit history or debt, and case management focused on acquiring or maintaining a

permanent home. HomeFirst is funded by a grant from the Gates Foundation. In its four years, all HomeFirst participants reported moderate or strong improvement in their quality of life and were more comfortable accessing other resources available in the community. Ninety-five percent had retained housing by the end of 2013, 94 percent found it easier to set and achieve life goals, 88 percent felt safe in their home most or all of the time, 84 percent felt like they were a part of the neighborhood and community in which they lived. Amy Sanford, a member of the local Rotary Club, said she got the courage to escape a physically abusive marriage when, during another visit to the hospital emergency room, her daughter asked her, “Mom, when is this going to end?” Sanford and her daughter escaped with the help of a pastor. Safe housing provided Sanford the stability and support she needed to return to school and earn a degree in accounting. She now works in Seattle and lives on Bainbridge Island.

The Poulsbo-North Kitsap Rotar y Club Foundation is the applicant for all grants and will serve as custodian of all funds received. The foundation has pledged $120,000 toward the project. All told, the project has commitments of $250,000. The city Parks and Recreation Department will design the park, with public input. “We hope to start construction by June 2016,” the donor said.

It opened in December 2013, with room for 15 men but a current population of nine. Its program of providing a safe and peaceful place to live, where men can focus on improving themselves and securing their future — and providing support services to help them reach their goals — is getting high marks from the

All of the men have done time; three are veterans. “This is a mission for me,” said Hal Fergusson, an Air Force veteran and founder of Compass House. “When I say a ‘mission,’ I mean, I’m a spiritual person. We like to expose, but not impose. We’re not faith-based, but if someone

finds faith along the way, that’s all for the better. “Our primary goal is to [help] fellows that have served the country and got into some trouble, and either don’t have family or they have a family that doesn’t want them back. The only thing we insist on is you have to be clean and sober.” Getting your life in order after being behind bars is not easy. When you get out of prison, you get a $500 voucher for three months to help you cover your expenses on the outside. As far as help with goal setting, managing finances, and life skills training, you’re pretty much on your own. The advocates at Compass House believe that in order to combat homelessness, the men

must be armed with the tools they need to succeed and help them to become contributing members of society. Here’s how it works. The men who live here learned about Compass House from a counselor before they got out, or from their probation officer. If the resident is a veteran, Val Hawkins, a veterans services officer, helps them get their VA benefits reinstated. “In those first three months, it’s crucial they find the direction they want to go,” said Mike Toro, one of the directors of Compass House. “We help them with coming up with a plan.” House manager Eric Adkins, a native of Cincinnati, is a former Army NCO who served as a cavalry scout in Iraq and is being treated for PTSD. He is a 4.0 student at Olympic College, where he is studying welding. He is one of two Compass House residents that are in school. He went over the daily routine at the house: After morning chores — there’s a chore list — the men go to school, or to work, or to job interviews, or meet with corrections officer Debra Giczkowski. They help maintain the house and grounds — one res-
ident grabbed the ladder and cleaned the gutters. Curfew is from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., although there’s some flexibility for jobs. Compass House residents and advocates meet every four to five weeks to discuss challenges or concerns; Giczkowski sometimes attends. “If they have an objection, they’re not afraid to say it,” Fergusson said of the men. “And they’re not afraid to make the necessary corrections.” Fergusson made dinner for everybody at the last meeting. There were no complaints about his cooking, he quipped. Caring for the house and grounds is no small task. This dome house is more than 4,000 square feet, with eight bedrooms, five bathrooms, two living areas, two kitchens and a workout room. The chickens provide a steady supply of fresh eggs for the table. The goats provide entertainment; the ram and doe go to the fence for head rubs from visitors, while their two kids romp and chase. Raised beds will be cultivated for gardens; Gunhammer and another resident, Bone Redbird, who is Port Gamble S’Klallam, have plans for a clambake bed. There is no opposition to clambakes.

Some computers have arrived, a donation from a government agency; a computer lab will be set up so the men can write their resumes and do job searches. Kim Toro, Mike’s wife and a director of Compass House, said these men are labor-ready, with experience in painting, drywalling, construction and other skills. Compass House residents have been honing their skills with some remodeling at the house, and advocates have connected them with other work. Toro invites other work opportunities where the men can use their skills, and build their resumes and their self-esteem.
Effort began five years ago Fergusson, who owns Geneva Real Estate in Silverdale, got the idea for Compass House about five years ago and began looking for a suitable property. In 2013, this property on Central Valley Road, a little over a mile north of Waaga Way, became available. With its size and setting, it was perfect. Fergusson and three others obtained a leaseoption on it and the work began. Compass House filed for and received designation as a charitable limited liability corporation, or LLC, in Washington state, and has filed for designation as a federal 501c3. The furnishings were provided by donors. Hampton Inn provided comforters, pillows and towels.

education, the director of student safety, and was the district’s athletic director. He was paid $95,535 in 2012-13, according to an online database of educators’ salaries by the Tacoma News-Tribune. Olsen’s resignation is effective Dec. 31, according to personnel recommendations brought before the North Kitsap School Board on Nov. 24. “We have mutually agreed to his resignation,” Superintendent Patty Page wrote to the Herald. She would not disclose the
circumstances leading to Olsen’s resignation. Olsen did not return a call to his cell phone. His office phone did not connect to a voice message service. According to Page, Linda Hupka is assisting with the career and technical education; former Breidablik interim principal Glenn Robbins is handling emergency preparation and safety; and John Cervinsky is now the district’s athletic director. Asked if the district will hire someone to take over
for Olsen, Page wrote, “We are currently assessing the position and what our short-term and long-term needs are. At some point we will be hiring, but this is [not] typically the best hiring season for school administrators.” Olsen worked for North Kitsap from 1992-94. He worked in the South Kitsap School District for 16 years, then returned to North Kitsap in 2010, overseeing career and technical education for secondary schools in North Kitsap.

Compass House is helping him to do that, and more. “What it does is it holds me accountable,” Dahl said of Compass House. “It’s a great group of guys. All of the people here are trying to improve their lives. We’ve got each other’s

In his spare time, he and Gunhammer drum and sing traditional songs. He makes and paints hand drums.
If he can’t work as an iron worker, Gunhammer would like to work as an artist. He displayed intricate beaded work he’s completed — key chains, pendants, pouches — since he’s lived at Compass House.

Immigrant center can now provide legal help BREMERTON — A program of the Kitsap Immigrant Assistance Center has won federal approval to provide legal assistance to immigrants in Kitsap. The program — KIAC Immigration Legal Services — was approved Oct. 24 by the Executive Office for Immigration Review’s Board of Immigration Appeals, which is part of the U.S. Department of Justice. In 2013, KIAC analyzed the immigration legal needs of people who come to the center and identified the need for low-cost legal services. Several
KIAC board members successfully completed the Immigration Law Training sponsored by New York Immigration Coalition and two of them, Anita Smith and Ray Garrido, have been approved as accredited representatives of the Board of Immigration Appeals. As such, they are authorized to give immigration advice, fill out immigration forms, practice immigration law and supervise any non-Board of Immigration Appeals representatives who are also assisting the office’s immigration program. This new legal assistance program, located in
the United Way building in Bremerton, will provide assistance to lawful permanent residents in application for citizenship, citizenship interview and test preparation, citizenship financial assistance, renewal of Green Cards, deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, work authorization application, immigration attorney reviews, and other immigration help. KIAC won’t be acting without support. It partnered with The Catholic Legal Immigration Network, which provides KIAC with immigration law legal support and program management assistance.
KIAC also operates in partnership with several regional advocacy groups and institutions, including the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, the Department of Social and Health Services, Kitsap County Sheriff’s Department, United Way Kitsap, and local faith-based organizations. n Fees: KIAC is a nonprofit charitable 501(c)(3) organization and charges nominal fees to its clients for its services, but may reduce or waive fees for those who cannot pay. n Data: A study by UCLA determined that there are more than 4,000 people
in Kitsap County who are Legal Permanent Residents (green card holders) and are eligible to become citizens but have not taken that step. Many of them have not become citizens because they can’t afford to or need help preparing for the citizenship interview and test. This program is designed to overcome that barrier. KIAC has provided services to immigrants in Kitsap, Jefferson and Mason counties since 2004. The foreign-born population of these three counties was 22,107, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. Services include ESL
classes, preparation for citizenship interviews, preparation for GED exams, referrals to immigration attorneys and other legal services, translations, connections to Department of Social and Health Services social workers, connections to domestic violence workers, nutrition and wellness programs, referrals and advocacy for medical and health care, assistance in getting driver’s licenses and in starting businesses. The average number of visits to the center has been more than 1,300 annually.

Kalac pleads ‘not guilty,’ trial will begin on Jan. 5 New attorney will be needed if possibility of death penalty exists
Murder suspect David Michael Kalac, left, listens to his attorney, Kevin ‘Andy’ Anderson, during Kalac’s Nov. 14 appearance in Kitsap County Superior Court.

PORT ORCHARD — Trial will begin on Jan. 5 for David Michael Kalac, who allegedly killed 30-year-old Amber Lynn Coplin in her South Kitsap apartment on Nov. 4. Superior Court Judge Jeannette Dalton set the trial date during a Nov. 17 hearing. Several members of the victim’s family were in court during the Nov. 17 hearing. The 33-year-old Kalac, with his hands and feet in shackles, looked straight ahead and never made eye contact with Coplin’s family. Family members turned and glared at Kalac as he left the courtroom. Kevin “Andy” Anderson entered a not-guilty plea for Kalac, his client, on Nov. 14 during an arraignment before Superior Court Judge Anna M. Laurie. Anderson’s status as Kalac’s attorney was confirmed at the arraignment. After his arrest, Kalac’s family attempted to find another attorney to take the case but was unsuccessful.
Prosecutors have asked to collect a DNA sample, dental impressions and a handwriting sample. Anderson, a longtime deputy prosecutor, joined the public defender’s office earlier this month.
Qualified attorney
At the Nov. 17 hearing, Kitsap County deputy prosecutor Robert Davy said he would not rule out the possibility of the death penalty because the case can evolve and investigators could find new information warranting it. Anderson said if the possibility of the death penalty exists in the case, he’s not qualified to represent Kalac and another attorney would have to be assigned to the case. Anderson said he’s not on the state Supreme Court’s list of qualified attorneys to represent defendants fac-
ing capital murder charges. Dalton said after she reviewed the state statutes, and because the question of the death penalty has not been resolved, a qualified attorney must be assigned to the defendant. “As long as the death penalty is on the table, I am required by statute to appoint an attorney who is on the list,” Dalton said. “We only have two in this county who can be appointed. But there is a long list of folks who can come in — if need be — if those two are not available.” Dalton said there are motions pending in the case and she would like the new attorney to be present and respond to the motions at the next hearing date.

Poulsbo Police get creative in order to save money Innovative programs from hybrid cars to partnering with Bremerton Police By RICHARD D. OXLEY
roxley@northkitsapherald.com
POULSBO — The City of Poulsbo is engaged in its annual tradition of stretching the budget as far as it can, across multiple departments. The City Council is expected to approve the 2015 budget in December. Some departments have asked for routine budgets, while others have put entertaining twists on seemingly stale subject matter — Finance Director Debbie Booher set her budget presentation on Nov. 19 to “Money,” by Pink Floyd. This year, Police Chief Alan Townsend has come up with new ideas on how to save money at the police department. Townsend presented his budget requests to the City Council on Nov. 12. Among
them were ways for the department to save money through a series of pilot programs. Townsend reached out to the Bremerton Police Department to see if the two forces can team up on certain duties. “What we are talking about right now is evidence management,” Townsend said. “Every agency has an evidence room. Do we really need a room for each agency? We are thinking about moving the Poulsbo evidence room to Bremerton. They have a state-of-the-art evidence room and with a top-notch evidence technician there.” Townsend is studying the feasibility of combining court security, home monitoring staff, and prisoner transport services. Poulsbo has an officer who handles
“If we have savings through the pilot programs, we may end up with something to offset that cost,” Townsend said. Townsend said a school resource officer could be a first responder to threats at schools, but would also serve as contact with students and staff, and would handle child-abuse cases. Another innovation Townsend seeks is buying a hybrid vehicle instead of a regular patrol car in the department’s next vehicle purchase. He said the hybrid could be used for non-patrol services, such as administration or for detectives. “It’s trying to be a little different and a little more ‘green’ on how we do business,” he said. “It’s a little bit more environmentally responsible and there’s some people that want government to get on board with that.” Townsend bought a hybrid vehicle when he was
most of those duties. “If we can combine that [position] with Bremerton’s position, so we don’t all have to have separate ones, it might fiscally make more sense and be more efficient,” Townsend said. “We’ve started discussions and we are figuring out the logistics of how to do it. This may or may not work. If it does, that’s great.” Another project Townsend is pursuing is implementing a school resource officer for local schools. “This needs to be a partnership with the school district,” he said. “The school district has to be supportive and want that program.” The school district has dealt with a series of threats on school property in recent months. A new police officer can cost around $100,000, Townsend said. He would like to share the costs with the North Kitsap School District.

chief of the Port Orchard Police Department. “The reality is, they are good cars and they drive well and have a lot of power,” he said. Townsend suggests a Toyota Highlander or Nissan Pathfinder. He estimates either could save the city up to $6,000 in fuel cost over the life of the SUV. He noted, though, that he calculated fuel cost at more than $4 per gallon, and prices for the hybrid SUVs have gone down recently, therefore, the savings could be more. Such savings are critical for Townsend. The police department has neglected replacing its patrol cars as it had in the past. Replacing older cars with new ones is generally cheaper than paying for maintenance of old cars, Townsend said. He hopes to begin cycling through vehicles again. “We’ve gone several years without (replacing) two cars a year,” he said. “Half our fleet has 70,000 miles or more. If we continue down that path we will
have such an aging fleet that we will get stuck with a lot of repair bills or have to buy a lot of cars at once.” The preliminary budget that has been forwarded to December has funding for two new patrol cars. Mayor Becky Erickson said at the council’s Nov. 19 meeting that the department can purchase a hybrid if it is equal in cost to a patrol car, but it would have to sacrifice one patrol car to get it. In other words, the department can only get two cars; two patrols, or one patrol and one hybrid. Another cycle that Townsend is concerned about is firearms. “Probably every five to seven years you should think about replacing a firearm,” he said. “People say ‘You don’t shoot anybody with them, so why do you need to replace them?’ The reality is we shoot them a lot, so we do need to replace them.” Officers use their firearms in practice and training.

POULSBO — When construction workers dug into the ground on Bond Road near Front Street, they expected to find the end of a water main and replace it. They didn’t. “We found out during excavation that it doesn’t end at this point, it continues 200 feet to the east,” City Engineer Andrzej Kasiniak told the City Council at its Nov. 19 meeting.
The original plan was to replace 425 feet of an 8-inch water main under Bond Road. The city hired Lydell Construction to take on the job — a job that came with a $114,299.14 price tag. But the discovery of 200 more feet of pipe has changed the price tag. Kasiniak asked the council for $43,297.72 more to handle the expanded job, taking the total cost to $147,917.30. The council unanimously approved the new price.

Fishline receives $10,000 from Jewelers for Children By RICHARD WALKER
rwalker@northkitsapherald.com
POULSBO — Richard Koven’s first foray into local fundraising occurred 14 years ago when he joined the Rotary Club. He dressed up like a pizza slice and solicited donations for North Kitsap Fishline. On Nov. 14, his wardrobe was more customary to that of a jewelry store owner, and the donation to Fishline considerably more sizable. Koven, owner of Dahlquist’s Fine Jewelry, presented Fishline with a
check for $10,000 — the proceeds from a contest hosted by Jewelers for Children, a charitable organization of people in the jewelry industry. The organization hosts an annual online challenge in fall; the 10 non-profits that get the most online votes nationwide receive $10,000 each. To be a nominee, the non-profit must “have a mission that is primarily directed toward helping children 18 years of age or younger.” Voting took place Oct. 6-19. In 2013, Coffee Oasis in Poulsbo was a winner. This
year, Koven nominated Fishline. At the presentation, Koven quipped that his industry has been known to save marriages — jewelry, get it? — but added that as a local business “we strive to find new ways to help” the community. And help it will. That $10,000 will specifically go to Fishline’s Food for Thought program, which provides weekend meals for 150 North Kitsap School District students every weekend throughout the year. The meals are

discreet — each weekend package resembles a large bagged lunch — are easy to prepare, and ensure children get the nutrition they need when they’re not in school. Fishline Executive Director Mary Nader gave attendees a tour of Fishline’s new quarters on Viking Avenue — it’s the former site of Poulsbo RV. It’s 3rd Avenue site is now the home of Fishline’s Second Season Home, a used furniture store. Fishline also owns Second Season Thrift Store on Anderson Parkway. The Viking Avenue site is spacious, with a grocery store-like area where Fishline clients shop using “Fish Bucks”; offices for housing and utility assis-
tance and employment services (Bob Middlebrook of Sound Works Job Center assists job seekers here Mondays and Wednesdays, noon to 3 p.m.); and areas for storage and prep. There’s no loss of dignity by walking in the front door. Fishline is a part of the local safety net — neighbors helping neighbors. The volunteers and staff know that of the people who give to Fishline, some may hit a rough patch at some point and need Fishline’s services. Fishline will be there to help them rebound. And the paying it forward goes on; in fact, many volunteers have been or are Fishline clients. Fishline doesn’t just provide a hand during household emergencies, it pro-
vides a hand up, offering a variety of services to help people become economically stable and self-sufficient. It’s a tough charge. This year, 700 households moved on to self-sufficiency, Nader said. “But they were replaced by 600 more. People are getting jobs, but they’re not living-wage jobs. Threefourths of the jobs [available] are minimum-wage jobs.” UPCOMING ■ Fishline is changing its holiday meal distribution this year “because we now have our new building and the freedom all this space offers us,” Nader said. “In years past, we had clients sign up for a

Suquamish man honored for care rendered as VA nurse SUQUAMISH — Joseph Smith, RN, at VA Puget Sound Health Care System received the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, presented by The DAISY Foundation and UnitedHealthcare, at a special ceremony Nov. 20 in Seattle. Smith, of Suquamish, received a certificate commending him for being an “Extraordinary Nurse” to his veteran patients. The certificate reads: “In deep appreciation of all you do, who you are, and the incredibly meaningful difference you make in the
lives of so many people.” DAISY is the acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. The DAISY Award was established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes by his family. Barnes died in 1999 at the age of 33 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. Each month, nurses in more than 1,500 participating hospitals are nominated by their colleagues and patients to receive The DAISY Award. The honorees receive a certificate commending out-
standing clinical care and a designation of being an “Extraordinary Nurse.” The honorees are also given a sculpture called “A Healer’s Touch,” handcarved by artists of the Shona Tribe in Africa. An excerpt from Smith’s nomination form read: “Whenever Joe is caring for one of my patients, I have confidence that the patient will receive excellent, detail-oriented care. More importantly, I always know Joe will go beyond the expected care and will treat the patient with love and dignity. Just one example is

Those trimmings, the stuffing and the cranberries and the pumpkins will be available in our market with all local families receiving ‘Holiday Bucks,’ extra budget that supplements their Fish Bucks
and allows them to pick out their own meal items.” Local churches are donating money, food and volunteer time, Nader wrote. “[I] can’t tell you how wonderful it is for us to be able to improve our services and methodology because we now have the facility that allows that ...

The event is free; food and cash donations are encouraged.

The question is, as a nurse, are you a compassionate nurse — because that’s your profession — or are you a compassionate person because that’s who you are? And I would like to say that as nurses, we are compassionate people.”
needs specific to that child's interests, hobbies, and abilities. An individual or group may sponsor this child by purchasing at least three items from the child's list. The wish lists are then distributed via “Tag Trees” at area businesses. Sponsors choose a tag, purchase the items, place them in one big bag, attach the tag, and return the marked bag to the business.

Indianola woman is a ‘citizen of the world’ Travels inspired by her parents Part one of two parts By SANDY MCKAY
Special to Sound Publishing
INDIANOLA — During her lifetime, Indianola resident Pam Perry has traveled extensively to interesting, exciting and exotic locations around the world. Her parents, Linc and Fredi Perry, were “big travelers,” as she puts it. “They always inspired me with stories of places they had been,” she said. “They would also ask us — my brother Ken, my sister Andi and me — what we wanted from their travel
destinations, their ports of call.” Pam and her siblings were always motivated by their parents’ stories to learn about the places they traveled. “It forced us to do a lot of research to learn about those countries and what they produced that we might want,” Perry said. She has had a travel visa since she was 12. As a family, they went to Mexico, Japan, Hong Kong, and to Hawaii three times. “I have always had wanderlust,” she said. “We had a great family unit with weekly family meetings, organized by my dad, to keep up to date with everything that was happening to each of us. I always felt
Beautiful You... DIY did I do that???
Homemade beauty treatments can be a lot of a fun and a great way to save time and money. However, you have to be very careful about the ingredients you choose. Some ingredients are safe for the body, but not for the face. Others are dangerous when exposed to sun, and yet more are best to be left to the professionals! Lemon Lemon has many benefits from antibacterial to lightening, however, it is very acidic and can become phototoxic which means it can cause blisters or sunburns when exposed to light. Walnut Shells Walnuts shells are often considered as a DIY skin exfoliator but this is a terrible idea because they may contain irregular shaped particles with sharp edges that can break capillaries in the delicate facial skin.
Olive Oil Are you using olive oil as a cleansing oil? Stop. There are absolutely no benefits in adding this to your face, especially if you are prone to breakouts. Jojoba or grapeseed are better alternatives. Thinking of trying DIY skin treatments but don’t know where to start?

loved and supported by my parents and siblings, and that continues to this day.” She had an extended family as well. In her early childhood, she was “adopted” by close friends of the family, Paula and Hal Hubbell. “Paula didn’t have any daughters, and her silliness made me laugh. And somehow I made her laugh,” she said. “We just really connected. I went to see them several times at their home

the turtles. Their population had declined 85 percent in the past 20 years, she said, mostly due to fishing practices and poaching. They decided to help build an education center, where locals could learn about the many threats to the turtles, and the Costa Rican students sent to the United States could spread the all-important ecological message of a threatened species. In order to build the center, they would have to raise $50,000. That amount seemed small to Perry, and it was rapidly decided that the goal was easily achievable. They came back to the U.S. and raised $60,000 by holding two separate auctions. That money not only built the center, but also funded conservation efforts at Estacian Las Tortugas, a sea turtle conservation center located on the Caribbean coast of that country. “Our funds were tremendously useful to the center,” Perry said, “and since that time poaching was reduced from nearly 100 percent to around 10 percent, a remarkable achievement.” She is still involved as a board member with fundraising for the foundation. She also leads tours to the South American country

in Santa Cruz, California, and they came up here for class reunions. Paula and I were pen pals in those days and we often sent involved letters to each other. “Paula’s love for travel also inspired me. In fact, on my first solo trip that I took immediately after college, I planned it to begin in Costa Rica because I knew she would be there.” Perry worked from 1994 to 2008 in public relations for Parsons, a local ecological company that specializes in home, garden and green building; and for the EcoTeach Foundation, a Kitsap-based organization whose purpose is to save the leatherneck sea turtles of Costa Rica. It also offers tours of that country. She helped EcoTeach set up five tours and, as a result, part of her payment was a trip to Costa Rica with her then-business associate. While they were there on that eco tour, she learned about the plight of
during the leatherback turtle-nesting season to help raise awareness of the serious decimation of the reptiles. And she helped to raise additional funds to help support conservation efforts. Next year’s tour will take place from May 30 to June 11. Cost is $2,495. Of that money, $500 goes directly to support the efforts of EcoTeach (www.groups. ecoteach.com/foundation). When working for Parsons, Perry became unhappy with her job. She had always dreamed of world travels and so, after giving a year’s notice, on Sept. 14, 2008, she departed alone on a flight to Nepal. She had always wanted to trek in the Himalayas, her primary reason for starting her trip there. She later volunteered with an organization — ANSWER Nepal — which finds American sponsors Nepali children in order to pay for their private school education. Also, in Nepal, she met a woman from The Netherlands. They decided to travel together for a while. The “while” turned out to be for five months, and their acquaintance resulted in a lifelong friendship. After that, Perry toured India. “I was just drawn to the colors, flavors, history and the people,” she said. “It was a remarkable experience. I’ve returned there several times.” Southeast Asia came next. She started in Thailand, proceeded to Laos, then Cambodia where she did more volunteer work. She spent the last week of the trip in Saigon with a friend, enjoying the delectable food of Vietnam. Perry and her mother also visited Poland — the land of their ancestors. “That was a wonderful

Continued from page A18 experience,” Perry said. I visited the gravesite of my great-grandfather with my second cousin and just felt connected to the world, and especially my history, in a way I never had before. It was remarkable.” She stopped briefly in Holland to meet a Dutch friend, then spent the final three months of her trip in Guatemala. She lived with a family there and studied Spanish with a private teacher for four hours every day. “It had been a dream of mine for years and finally I had time to do it,” she said. During the last month of her trip, she spent time at a meditation retreat at Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. “It gave me the chance to ‘be still’ and focus on my new life when I returned home,” she said. “I’d had so many experiences, knew that I had changed, but hadn’t been able to consciously incorporate the changes, or to think what my new life would look like.” Next week: A mission to influence change.

The masks of Lightwire Theater create illuminating characters.

Continued from page 2 The show features nutcracker soldiers, rats, gloworms, flowers, a Christmas tree and many other characters, all brought to life using modern, illuminating tech and performed in complete darkness. Lightwire Theater doesn’t use dialogue to progress its stories, rather, it’s entirely done with music and dancing. The stage is dark — darker than it normally would be for other productions. The wires cast light in shapes and patterns, which dancers then use to create the characters and stories. It’s like a mixture of ballet and Tron. The format works well for Carney, who with his wife, Eleanore, come from a dancing background. “My wife and I, as a career, are ballet dancers,”
Carney said. “We danced lots of Nutcrackers and Romeo and Juliets and classical ballet. I was always raised with classical ballet. The bonus of that was that I was not raised with words, I was raised with telling stories wordlessly.” He added, “If the emotion is too big to speak, you sing it, and if it’s too big to sing it, you dance it.” The wordless act breaks through borders and finds audiences with people who may not normally attend theater, Carney said. “We’ve performed all over the world because of that,” he said. “There’s no translation. We go to Hong Kong and we do the same show. Whether it’s Russia or Columbia or Germany.” While viewers may not have seen them in Hong Kong or Russia, they may recognize the company from TV.

performed in season 7 of “America’s Got Talent.” It’s tech-savvy performances brought them to the top four acts. “It was a good experience. We were nervous going into it,” Carney said. “They had found us on YouTube. They called us to be a part of it.” The theater company had mixed feelings about appearing on such a show that verged on reality TV, Carney said. At the time, Lightwire Theater was emerging as a successful family business. “But you can’t deny the exposure it would give,” Carney said. “ And a lot has come from ‘America’s Got Talent.’ We did a competition show in France because of ‘America’s Got Talent.’ We toured with

Lightwire Theater often uses animals for the characters of its shows. Sony to introduce a new phone in France.” Now, Lightwire Theater is back on TV, this time in a new competition-based show, “Fake Off,” airing on Tru TV. “This competition show has 10 acts in it,” Carney said. We just did our second performance on (Nov. 17).” The show airs every Monday until its conclusion. The show gives each artistic team a challenge that is based in pop culture. Each team then finds a way to interpret it in its own unique way. “It’s a bit more celebratory than sensational,” Carney said. “They delve into the artist a little bit more.” While Lightwire is
brightening up TV, Carney said that to truly see what the buzz is all about, viewers need to get to a theater. “The television side has been good to us and given us a wider viewership for our live shows which is where we shine,” he said. “When you see it live, it’s a whole other thing. If you’ve seen it on ‘America’s Got Talent’ and liked it there, when you see it live, it’s a whole other visual.” That visual, and the modern, tech-friendly methods of storytelling speaks to the aspiration of Lightwire Theater, Carney said, which is to introduce theater to audiences that aren’t inclined to go. “Because of its visual

components and its storytelling, we feel like we have an opportunity to get people back into the theater,” he said. “The theater is competing against DVD and blogging and video games and everything that takes you away from the human experience.” Carney said he enjoys taking crafts that are thousands of years old and reintroducing them. “Puppetry and dance and storytelling are old, but now it’s upgraded,” he said. “We bring it to today’s audience, and it seems as current as the new Apple computer, but it’s really based in ancient times. We really enjoy that aspect of doing what we do.”

Kitsap discusses ‘school-to-prison pipeline’ By RICHARD D. Oxley Kitsap Week

issue that affects our dayto-day,” said Tracy Flood of the Kitsap Council for Human Rights. “We are all humans first, and issues that affect our day-to-day are important. We deal with them in one way or another through tax dollars. Education is key.” Education is the focus — in more ways than one — of the annual Human Rights Conference in Kitsap on Dec. 5. The conference takes place each year, hosted by the Kitsap Council for Human Rights. The council’s role is to educate the public on various human rights issues. This year’s conference topic is the “school-toprison pipeline,” a term applied to a variety of issues that take young people out of the school system and into the criminal justice system. In short, the school-toprison pipeline could be anything that neglects a student’s needs, from learning disabilities to poverty or abuse. These needs can translate into disciplinary action or neglect. That, in turn, puts students on a path from school-to-prison. “Getting word out is so important,” Flood said. “There is this track that happens and it affects so many.” “It can be discipline systems, how you deal with students with disabilities or truancies,” she said. “It’s the way they are disciplined and miss out
HumAn RIgHts COnfeRenCe: tHe ‘sCHOOl-tO-pRIsOn pIpelIne’ What: A conference on the issue of the “school to prison” pipeline, with discussion panels. Keynote speaker: State Supreme Court Justice Debra L. Stephens. When: Dec. 5, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Where: The Kitsap Conference Center, 100 Washington Ave., Bremerton. Cost: $65 adults, $50 youth younger than 18.
on day-to-day classroom activity, and that puts them on the fast track to the prison system.” The issue has picked up attention across the nation. Organizations such as the ACLU and the Justice Policy Center have taken up the cause. Policies such as zero-tolerance discipline, excessive police presence for minor school misconduct, or high-stakes testing have been cited as key problems in school structures. The thought is that by engaging in such practices and policies, certain populations of students — such as low income, minorities, students suffering from abuse, or those with learning disabilities — are pushed into systems that lead to the criminal justice system. Proponents of bringing awareness to the issue often promote that education, not incarceration, is a prime solution to the problem. Closer to Washington state, public school proponents have closely watched the McCleary decision, a state Supreme Court ruling that is holding the Legislature accountable for underfunding schools. This underfunding is viewed as one contributor to the school-to-prison pipeline
issue. “Funding is key,” Flood said. “Finances have affected schools.” Flood points to cuts in schools that take away time with teachers and cause classrooms to become overcrowded, making an unfavorable school environment. For example, Flood said, students used to have equal time with different departments. Now, because of funding cuts, some are not as present as others. “When I was in school, we had a PE teacher that was just as involved as the English teacher,” she said. “Now, it’s an option. It’s one of those things that was cut. It’s not as much of a priority as it used to be. It used to be Monday through Friday that you were in PE. Now, not so much.” Funding is so significant, that the keynote speaker this year is state Supreme Court Justice Debra L. Stephens. The court has ruled in recent years that the Legislature has been out of step with the state Constitution by underfunding public schools. The court is now holding the Legislature accountable. Other features of the conference will be expert and youth panels and vendors.

he Port Gamble Theater Company is taking a classic tale of a little girl, and not changing it at all. The theater company will perform “Heidi” on Dec. 5-21. The company is sticking “straight with the script,” theater company board president Scott Snively said. “Don’t really want to mess with this one.” The light-hearted, family-friendly tale of a girl raised by her grandfather fits in with the company’s focus on classic literature and drama, Snively said. As the last production of the year, it also fits well with Port Gamble’s Country Christmas theme. Snively said the production will interest younger generations, while offering those who remember variations of the tale — such as the 1937 Shirley Temple film — fond memories. “Heidi” is the story of a girl who goes to live with her aunt after her parents die. In turn, Heidi is taken to the mountains by her aunt so she can live with her grandfather. Her grandfather turns out to be a less-than-pleasant person. Eventually, Heidi’s infectious personality begins to change the grandfather from grumpy to kind. But that’s just part of Heidi’s tale the Port Gamble Theater Company will tell in December. The production will be directed by Glenna Snively, who has been assistant director for a

Birders are out for the count this season KITSAP BIRDING Kitsap Audubon members participate in a previous year’s count. Don Willott / Contributed
By GENE BULLOCK
O
n Dec. 20, some 60-80 birdwatchers will train their binoculars on bushes, trees and waterways all over Kitsap County and count every bird they see. The Christmas Bird Count is a 114-year-old tradition that involves tens of thousands of participants in more than 2,300 count circles throughout the Western Hemisphere. The Kitsap Audubon Society has been sponsoring Kitsap’s count for more than 40 years. Rain or shine, eight teams will scour the landscape for birds in assigned areas
Great blue herons are a familiar sight on Kitsap waterways. Here, they stand motionless like statues, waiting for prey to come close. Jay Wiggs / Contributed inside Kitsap Audubon’s designated 15-mile-diameter circle. Another team will start counting owls shortly after midnight. Many participants will opt to count birds in their own backyards as feederwatch volunteers. It’s a fun way for beginners to learn from experienced leaders and discover new places to bird. It’s also a friendly, but spirited competition to see
who can come up with the most species. The Kitsap count usually comes up with 112 to 115 species, and often produces a few surprises. Prior to 1900, commercial market hunters had hunted many bird species to the brink of extinction for their meat and feathers. Sportsmen also engaged in a holiday tradition known as the Christmas Side Hunt:
They would choose sides and compete to see which side could kill the most birds and small game in a single day. There was mounting concern among members of the fledgling Audubon Society about declining bird populations. Ornithologist Frank Chapman suggested a new holiday tradition — a Christmas Bird Census — that would count birds during the holidays rather
than shoot them. The tradition caught on, and today it is more popular than ever. It has become the longest-running citizen-science bird event in the world. The data collected over the last century allow researchers, conservation biologists, and other interested individuals to study the long-term health and status of bird populations across North America. When combined with other surveys such as the Breeding Bird Survey, it provides a picture of how the continent’s bird pop-
ulations have changed in time and space over the past hundred years. The data has helped scientists and policy-makers identify threats to birds and habitat, and promote broad awareness of the need to address them. While it is gratifying to know that the data you’re collecting benefits birds and science, the real reason for the popularity of Christmas Bird Counts is that they’re fun!

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Affordable white wines for the holidays A
s we head into the holiday season, we often find ourselves attending or hosting festive events. Thus, it’s always good to have several bottles of wine on hand. During the past couple of months, we have tasted many wines that qualify as good values, costing $15 or less. Today, we take a look at a few white wines. Most of these wines should be fairly easy to find at your favorite wine merchant. If not, contact the wineries directly. ■ Barnard Griffin 2013 Riesling, Columbia Valley, $10: A greeting of fruit salad aromas includes lychee, apricot and pineapple, backed by slate and lime. On the palate, the focus is on flavors of lime, pineapple and lemongrass, introduced by a bold blast of acidity that never slows down amid the residual sugar of 1 percent. In the finish are complexities of jasmine and minerality, allowing for suggested pairings with poultry and seafood. (11.8 percent alcohol) ■ Firesteed Cellars 2013 Pinot Noir Rosé, Willamette Valley, $14: Pretty aromas of Rainier cherry, ripe strawberry, rhubarb and peach also come with hints of cotton candy and a dusty country road. It’s presented in a bone-dry style with red raspberry, cherry/rhubarb compote and dried strawberry, all surrounded by refreshing acidity. That makes it remarkably versatile for food applications. (13.1 percent alcohol) ■ Vino La Monarcha 2013 Pinot Grigio, Columbia Valley, $15: Victor Palencia, raised in the Yakima Valley, is one of Washington’s finest young winemakers. This label for his Palencia Wine Co., in Walla Walla is as dazzling as it is affordable. It opens with tropical aromas of citrus and cardamom along with apricot, cotton candy, rose petal and spearmint. It’s a fun drink that’s loaded with white peach, tangerine and sweet herbs. (12.3 percent alcohol) ■ Daven Lore Winery 2013 Dry Riesling, Yakima Valley, $15: This is a glass brimming

with aromas of Golden Delicious apple, apricot, lime and slaty. The drink is light and refreshing with Granny Smith apple, Bosc pear and limeade. Pair this with spicy fare along the lines of Thai ginger beef. Mongolian beef also should work well. (13.2 percent alcohol) ■ Milbrandt Vineyards 2013 Evergreen Vineyard Traditions Riesling, Columbia Valley, $13: This wine launches with a nose of honeydew melon and ambrosia salad with peach, backed by lime, horehound and Aussie black licorice. The entry is crisp with flavors of limeade followed by a rich and broad midpalate with melon, backed by minerality and Mandarin orange acidity in the finish. Its residual sugar of 1.1 percent comes across dry, making for a mean-

dering story to tell and reminiscent of something from Alsace. (11.5 percent alcohol) ■ Airfield Estates 2012 Viognier, Yakima Valley, $15: Aromas of
pink grapefruit, cotton candy, orange Circus Peanut candy and freshcut celery lead into a striking structure of Asian pear, quince, honeydew melon and
lime. Suggested pairings include pasta, pork, salmon and stir-fry. (14.5 percent alcohol) ■ Mercer Estates 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, Yakima Valley, $13: The nose is focused on dusty Granny Smith apple, fresh mint and rosewater. On the pour, it’s racy and steely from start to finish with gooseberry, lime juice and wet stone, making for a dry and delicious drink that’s available in more than 40 states. (13.3

percent alcohol) ■ Ste. Chapelle 2012 Chardonnay, Snake River Valley, $12: A whiff of this delicious wine offers aromas of cotton candy, pear, honeydew melon, ghee and candy corn. On the pour, the oak treatment brings a rich and tropical entry of fresh pineapple, mango and papaya with butter on the midpalate. And yet, refreshing acidity continues to pulse through the wine. Suggested pairings range from grilled seafood, roast chicken, mild cheeses and creamy pasta. (13.9 percent alcohol) — www.greatnorthwestwine.com.
