Law enforcement y p p a H ys! career comes to a a d i l o close for Sheriff Boyer H

New hospital president is on the job David Schultz says exceptional patient care is Harrison’s priority

BY LESLIE KELLY LKELLY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

If you ask Steve Boyer how he ended up in law enforcement, he’ll tell you about an incident he saw as a boy. “There was a house fire down the street,” Boyer said. “Two little girls were burnt very badly. I remember watching the firemen and the police working so hard to help. A couple of days later I went over to look at the house and I thought ‘I’d like to know what to do in an emergency like that.’” And that was the seed that was planted in his head and his heart. And now, after 43 years in law enforcement, Boyer will retire on Dec. 31 when Sheriffelect Gary Simpson is sworn in as sheriff. His decision not to run for another term as sheriff was made based on a combination of his health and his age, he said. “If I’d run, I’d be 68 when that term was over,” he said. “My doctors said run if I wanted to. But I wanted to have some time with my family before I get too old.” B oyer began his law

In 1985, after being promoted to sergeant, Boyer became a road cop, working with WSP sergeant Dennis Bonneville, who eventually became Boyer’s undersheriff in Kitsap County. Boyer made lieutenant in 1988 and worked a number of administrative jobs including heading the state patrol SWAT team. In that role, he helped contain an inmate uprising at the prison on McNeil Island. Boyer said it was a tough SEE SHERIFF, A9

Cougar Elementary teams with Macy’s to raise $15,772 for Make-A-Wish BY CHRIS TUCKER CTUCKER@CENTRALKITSAPREPORTER.COM

The lunch room at Cougar Valley Elementary school was filled with rambunctious firstand second-graders as they watched their letters to Santa go into a full-size bright-red mailbox on Friday. Children at the school wrote 8,786 letters (some kids wrote more than one letter) as part of a Macy’s “Believe” fundraiser for Make-A-Wish. Macy’s donated $1 or $2 per letter to Make-A-Wish. The kid’s letters meant Macy’s donated a total of $15,772 which will

fund wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions in cities across the country. Macy’s will donate up to $1 million this year with the program. One unsigned letter handwritten in pencil read, “Dear Santa, i hope chirstmas (sic) will be a great one because chirstmas is my favorite Holiday. I love that writing letters can help kids who don’t have a good chirstmas each year. I hope my letters make it to the north pole.” Another read, “Dear Santa, i want all the children in the

Hospital to have a good christmas because there people to so they deserve to have a christmas Just as much as us. Sincerly, Kyndall.” Cougar Valley staff member Kim Lake-Loveless was in charge of the program. She said some of the kid’s letters are along the lines of “I want, I want, I want,” but not all of them. “I think it’s important that the kids learn how to give back the community,” Lake-Loveless said. “These kids, for the most SEE MAKE-A-WISH, A9

Centralizing Harrison Medical Center’s operations at the Silverdale campus, improving preventative care and keeping an eye on the costs of running a hospital are a few of the biggest challenges that Harrison’s new president, David W. Schultz, said he’ll be dealing with. Schultz’s first week on the job began Dec. 15 and he spent much of that time becoming familiar with his new coworkers and surroundings. Previously, Schultz served as executive vice president and chief operating officer at Overlake Medical Center, a 349-bed hospital located in Bellevue. Schultz said he took the job at Harrison because it was a great opportunity and because serving in an executive position as president was the next logical step for him in his 18-year-long healthcare career. “This was a pretty unique opportunity for me to be able to stay in the Puget Sound (region). Harrison has a great reputation,” Schultz explained. Schultz succeeds Scott Bosch as president of Harrison. Bosch retired in July 2014 after nearly a decade with Harrison. Schultz has a master’s degree in health care administration from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, and is a Fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives. He has a BA in economics from the University of Texas at Austin. As a UT alumnus, Schultz is a fan of the Texas Longhorns football team and he also played for the Plano Senior SEE PRESIDENT, A9

Threats at school investigated By Chris TuCker ctucker@centralkitsapreporter.com

Kitsap County Sheriffs deputies continue to investigate two separate potential threats made against Olympic High School Dec. 17. According to a voice message sent from school principal Rebecca Johnson, student and staff safety is the top priority at the school and so they called law enforcement in to investigate to be on the safe side. The message asked parents to encourage their children to tell them or staff members if anyone makes a threat against them, and also asked parents to talk with their children about the serious nature of making threats. Deputy Scott Wilson with the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office said rumors on social media that the two incidents were from one student were unfounded and unlikely. “There are two incidents and they are not connected,” Wilson said. The first incident was during a fifth-period math class. Someone left a note on one of the many school calculators that students share. “It was a threat to harm. Nothing specific, just threats that there was going to be an incident,” Wilson said. The message was not directed against anyone in particular. Wilson said they did not have any definitive suspects as the calculators were shared with so many students. The second event was the same day during an emergency drill. Wilson said that during the drill a male student was overheard discussing with other students that the drill activities are probably what would happen during a real incident. The boy did not make any threats. “Just verbalizing,” Wilson said. Words to the effect of, ““Hey, if I were that guy …’” “This was overhead … it raised a bit of an alarm,” Wilson said. Later the same day, the same boy got into a fight with someone else and the school took disciplinary action. “We’re there as a result of this implied threat,” Wilson said of the presence of uniformed officers at the school Dec. 18. They also were at the recent basketball game. Wilson said the officers planned to remain at the school on Dec. 19.

Peterson received his recognition for going above and beyond when coming to the aid of a member amidst an ongoing merchant dispute. Although the member gratefully applauded his efforts, Peterson highlighted the cooperative spirit behind the Credit Union, by gracefully crediting his team for the assistance. For inspiring others while showing initiative during the Credit Union’s computer system upgrade, Fountain was surprised by her recognition, stemming from her peers at the Credit Union’s Port Townsend location.

Anonymous donor gives $73,900 to Habitat for Humanity By PETER O’CAIN POCAIN@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

The bar for best Secret Santa in Kitsap County has been set pretty high this year. An anonymous person gave Habitat For Humanity of Kitsap County $73,900 last week. That’s enough to buy 190 Xbox Ones. How does your $20 iTunes gift card look now? “I think we’re pretty pleased,” said Daryl Daugs, executive director of Habitat For Humanity of Kitsap County. “It’s a great Christmas present.” Daugs has been with the Kitsap branch for three years. He said most donations of this size are rare and they usually come from an estate. “We’ve had donations periodically in that range,” Daugs said. “That’s about the biggest of an individual donation we get.”

The donation nearly covers the cost of build materials for an entire house, Daugs said. It will be put into Habit’s Fund for Humanity and used to add to the Harris Court neighborhood in Port Orchard, he said. All homes in Harris Court will have solar panels on the roof and the neighborhood will have more than 80 fruit bearing trees, Daugs said. Once complete, it will be the largest single family home

solar neighborhood in the state, according to a habitat report. Habitat works with families who earn 30-60 percent of the median area income, Daugs said. “It’s a hand up, not a hand out. We work side by side with them to build the house,” Daugs said. “And when they’re done they have a zero interest mortgage which is equal to what it costs to build a house.”

County increases disposal fees

Beginning Jan. 1, new garbage disposal fees will be charged at Kitsap County’s Olympic View Trans-

For amounts greater than the minimum the fee will be $68 per ton, plus 3.6 percent Solid Waste Collection Tax. This disposal fee continues to be the lowest in the Puget Sound Region, and second lowest in all of Western Washington. Other charges at OVTS include: Appliances ($16.50 each) Passenger vehicle tires ($5 each) Commercial truck tires ($8 each) Separated yard waste ($64.84/ton) Other fees apply to various other “special wastes” such as asbestos, contaminated soils, and creosote-treated lumber.

Together, we are one Like any community, Central Kitsap and Bremerton are people from different cultures and different faiths. And yet, as members of this community, there is much that binds us together as one. We mourned together this year — vehicle collisions and crimes that took precious lives. We struggled to pay bills together. Although unemployment has dropped in our area this year and there’s news of increased hiring at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, we still see long lines at the food banks and hear of folks who are in need of housing and mental health services. But as in past years, as a community we have stepped up to help each other. Both the Central Kitsap Food Bank and Bremerton Foodline have been able to serve the hungry with more than 1,000 holiday food baskets, as well as weekly groceries. Kitsap Humane Shelter, too, has seen increased activity. Through the generous efforts of those in our community who love animals, the shelter was able to adopt out 1,000 more animals this year than it did in 2013 when it rehomed 4,197 pets. We saw need and responded. Just this week, an anonymous donor came forward and gave more than $73,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Kitsap County, enough to build an entire house. There are many more examples: food drives organized by businesses and neighborhoods; volunteers staffing emergency shelters; service clubs doing what they do to meet health and social needs in our communities. As we’ve seen this year — indeed, as we see year after year — each of us matters. We each have the capacity to make sure no one falls through the cracks. When times are tough, that’s how we survive. Yes, our communities are comprised of people of different cultures and different faiths, but we all share one thing in common this season: Commitment to make tomorrow better. We wish you all the blessings of the season and a Happy New Year.

Council gives new life to the NAD cabin The NAD Guardhouse Cabin now has an opportunity for a new and improved life. A group of grassroots community members have banded together this past year to form a non-profit foundation to raise money, donations in kind and volunteer hours to repair a one of a kind slice of Bremerton history. The NAD (Naval Ammunition Depot) Guardhouse Cabin is a part of a City of Bremerton Parks and Recreation property that is located at 6002 Kitsap Way. NAD Soroptomist Park is a 50.87 acre community park with many amenities that include a disc golf course, a Navy F-8 Crusader jet on display, a play area and a picnic shelter. The cabin was built by Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934. It served as the guardhouse for the ammunition depot for many years until 1959. In 1989, the Boys Scouts began to lease the cabin from the city and a vast majority of people identify the cabin with this group. When the Boy Scouts organization terminated their lease in June of this year, the idea and implementation of the NAD Guardhouse Cabin was born. This past week the Bremerton City Council voted to approve a lease with the NAD Guardhouse Cabin Foundation to improve this wonderful community asset. I have had the great pleasure of

Everything Bremerton

Colleen Smidt serving with both John Larson and Bob Dollar during my last two years on the Bremerton Parks and Recreation Commission. Both of these men had served for many years as parks and recreation commissioners long before the opportunity and the idea for the NAD Guardhouse Cabin Foundations came into existence. When citizen’s commissions and committees work as they should the result is that members become educated, informed and aware of where they can make the decision to move from the problem oversight side of the table to the problem solution side of the table. That is exactly what the creation of the NAD Cabin Foundation has done. John, Bob and many others have dedicated an untold number of years, hours and stewardship decisions to the service of our city on various commissions, commit-

tees and panels. The average person in the community does not ever see or understand the important roles, decisions and recommendations that are made on their behalf by their appointed representatives. Many do not ever know how that representation plays into the final decisions of the administration and votes of the city council. Most of the appointed representatives conduct their service with little public recognition and or fanfare beyond their official council appointments. I would like to see that change. I would like to see both the city council and the mayor, publicly acknowledge these individuals when their terms of service are up. I will take this opportunity to fill that gap for now and thank John Larson and Bob Dollar for their years of service on the Bremerton Parks and Recreation Commission. Linda Simpson should be thanked for her term of service on the Bremerton Planning Commission that just expired. Thank you all. This city is a better place for all of your efforts.

Addressing the subject no one wants to talk about It was estimated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that at least 1.7 million Americans age 65 and older would die in 2008, and an equal or larger number in the coming years. Of those, many will be the last surviving parent, and sadly, a large percentage will depart without a plan or even a simple will. No family meetings. No wishes expressed. No final loving words to share. If only half of these older Americans leave behind three children (many will leave more), almost 3 million adults will be without parents in the United States this coming year. As Jo Myers, author of Good to Go: The ABC’s of Death and Dying observes: “Some of these aging offspring already suffer strained sibling relationships left over from childhood. So, potentially, a large number of grown-up baby boomers will act like children when their parents are not around to provide supervision.” How sad! And yet … how avoidable. So the question is … what are some practical actions

Senior Life 101

Carl R. Johnson Community Relations Director Kitsap Alliance of Resources for Elders and preparations a senior and their family can take to lessen the impact when death occurs? How can we more adequately prepare for the inevitable challenges a family will face … before … during … and after … the death of a parent? The reality today is that many seniors display avoidance behavior rather than pre-plan for their death. They often make statements like, “My kids can take care of things after I’m gone.” Unfortunately, they don’t realize that their lack of planning is often a recipe for the breakup of their survivors.

And it’s not just the financial and physical aspects of their absence, but the emotional and relational aspects as well. Which leads me to the situation that confronts many families today … a lack of communication. Sadly, this is often due to a strained relationship, which may have occurred many years before, but has never been resolved. I have been increasingly confronted with stories of families that are torn apart by parent-child or sibling conflict, and an obstinate unwillingness to forgive. Unfortunately, unless there is an effort to “heal” that relationship, the conflict only fuels further alienation and division in the family, especially after a parent dies. I can’t stress strongly enough the importance of resolving these issues before death takes that opportunity away. Another important consideration that seniors and their families need to address is the preparation of a will. Even if there are few assets, at least a simple Last Will and Testament will provide a suitable “closure”, and spare the family unnecessary challenges. Today, with the availability

Letter to the editor An argument for BI/Brownsville bridge I would like to address a bridge from Brownsville to Bainbridge Island for just us county folks. The bridge would eliminate problems or concerns about only one exit off the island. In case of fire or disaster, having only one exit doesn’t currently meet fire and safety code for any building and this concerns the safety of thousands of folks. The bridge would solve problems with traffic on and off the Agate Pass Bridge. The bridge would provide a much better, shorter and timely avenue to the central and south end of the county. The distance from Silverdale to Manette is about the same distance as Silverdale to the Winslow ferry via a bridge from Brownsville. We could save millions in auto and truck fuel costs, and reduce pollution as well. This would eliminate the need for a fast ferry and probably reduce ferry needs to the Bremerton dock. The fuel savings alone would compensate for the bridge costs. Additionally, the

repairs and maintenance to the ferry system would be greatly reduced. I have discussed this with many Bainbridge Island people as well as Bremerton and Central Kitsap residents. I have received almost a unanimous favorable response. I urge everyone to talk to your political represen-

tatives. There may even be Homeland Security money waiting for our application. We need to do this before too much land is covered by buildings and blocking the avenues to and from main roads on Bainbridge and the county. Jerry VanFossen Bremerton Presenting

of very affordable forms of will preparation, there really is no excuse for not having one. But don’t procrastinate. Even if the senior is reluctant, someone in the family needs to take the lead and insist that a meeting with the parent(s) to discuss this issue take place ASAP. Let me add one final consideration that a senior and their family needs to address “before” they face the reality of death … the completion of an “advance directive” document that names a substitute decision maker, and identifies desired medical treatments. Although end-of-life

planning includes a number of considerations (i.e., a will or trust, a durable power of attorney, funeral and burial plans), an advance directive is a key element in being well prepared. For my wife and I, we have discovered a wonderful resource known as the Five Wishes. With this document, several of the previously mentioned actions can be rolled into one format … a living will, advanced directives, and specific words and sentiments that the senior wants their loved ones to know.

As you can imagine, all of these considerations I’ve mentioned in this column are issues that require the senior and their family to confront a subject that most people want to avoid … death. And that’s not easy. In fact, it’s quite uncomfortable for most people to address. But address it we must if we’re going to be prudent and responsible adults.

No doubt, it’s going to be an Outrageous Christmas By LESLIE KELLY LKELLY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

It all started with an idea drawn out on a napkin. But that idea, “Outrageous Christmas,” is now a way that members and friends of newlife church are celebrating the reason for the season. “Christmas is all about the giving of gifts to celebrate the birth of Christ,” said Wes Davis, pastor of newlife. “I don’t know if we celebrate it big enough because it’s when God became flesh as a little baby and gave us eternal life.” Davis, who began newlife church in Kitsap County in October 2000, said Outrageous Christmas came about through an assignment given to church members. “We asked everyone to draw out on a paper napkin what God put in their heart,” he said. “I told them ‘If you could dream big, what would that be?,’” he said. It was Ashley Irish who

Ashley Irish drew and wrote out her dream — that “Christmas should be about giving.” “I think we’ve gotten away from that,” she said. “I had a website at the time that asked people to perform random acts of kindness. And I thought about how that could be done at Christmas.” She asked Davis about beginning something like that through the church. He thought it was a great idea and together they named it “Outrageous Christmas.” The celebration has a website, www.outrageous-

christmas.com, where anyone needing something can register their need. And then, others from the church as well as anyone, can go to the website and fulfill a need. Church member Erina Weible said Irish’s idea was a way to bless the community. “As I remember, the napkin had many positive words on it and lines — like arms outstretched and wrapping themselves around the world.” Last year was the first year that Outrageous Christmas was done. In all, 72 needs were met at a value of more than $50,000, according to Davis. His favorite need was that of a family that was behind in their electricity bill. “If you recall, it got cold last year in December and the family was afraid that they’d be without power,” he said. “But someone stepped up and paid their bill. “And the father in that family was so blown away by that, that he wanted to meet a need. So he saw on the website an elderly

couple who needed wood chopped for their fireplace. He knew how to do that, so he did. It’s like everything came full-circle. He had heat and because he wanted to help, the elderly couple also had heat all winter long.” Some of the requests are pretty specific, like a person who needed an electric chair lift. But Davis said there was a man in the church who owned a medical supply company and made sure that need was met. “God knew just who in the church would help with that one,” Davis said. This year, there’s been 474 requests and 364 people offering help. As of the end of last week, there were still 59 requests being processed. Because the needs are registered on a website that has world wide reach, help has come from 47 states and 33 nations, and through eight different languages. This year, some of the requests that have been met have included a family that needed gasoline gift cards to travel from Kitsap County to Tacoma daily to see a family member who is in the hospital. Another was a young man who lives in Kitsap County, but whose family is all on the East Coast. “The giver bought him an airline ticket so he could travel home for Christmas,” Davis said.

The campaign logo as it appears on the website. And, to make Christmas even more outrageous, this year the church has selected needs of its own members that are met in public during church services. Last week, the church gave a couple a romantic weekend at the Salish Lodge near Snoqualmie Falls. “They are just the most wonderful couple and she, as her husband puts it, is about two months past her expiration date,” Davis said. “She has cancer. They’ve been married 34 years and have done so much for others. So this was a surprise for them.” The church also gave a family four new tires so they could travel to see family for the holidays. “Even that one spread,” Davis said. “Firestone, where we got the tires, found out about this family and threw in other things like a free oil change.”

The week of Christmas, there will be surprises for other members of the church family, including some in the military and some with special needs children. Davis said Outrageous Christmas will continue every year as a tribute to God’s love and the birth of Christ. And Irish said she’s proud to be a part of it. “It’s great love-filled, God-centered awesomeness,” she said. There are six newlife campuses in the area including one in Silverdale, Bremerton, Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island. For more go to www.outrageouschristmas.com. Members at all campuses are taking part in Outrageous Christmas, Davis said.

Flu activity up in Washington Flu activity is increasing in Washington and is expected to continue to climb in the coming weeks, according to the Washington Department of Health. Flu season typically peaks in the winter months when people spend more time indoors. The State Department of Health is running statewide flu vaccine ads featuring Washington families and Secretary of Health John Wiesman to raise awareness about preventing the flu. So far this season, H3N2 flu viruses have been the most common type of flu circulating around the country. More than half of those viruses have changed slightly from the strain that’s included in this year’s flu vaccine.

neering and math by challenging teachers to take topics into the community. Karen Lippy applied for the contest in hopes of student incorporating their work with the community and outdoors. “I think this is why I got Samsung’s attention in the first place, is the idea that this is for the community,” Lippy said. “The more we improve this local community the better it is for the kids and everybody here.” Her idea was to put an informational kiosk at the trailhead of the Outdoor Learning Center (OLC) on the back end of the West Hills property. Although she didn’t win, Lippy plans to follow through with the kiosk. She hopes to break ground in March. “I wanted to do a project with the kids that got them outdoors and incorporated STEM into all of their other learning areas, Lippy said. She said she believes these types of projects creates valuable learning opportunities for kids and

gets them interested in the outdoors. “She actively seeks out partnership and opportunities to make what students are learning here at West Hills is real and authentic,” said Lisa Heaman, West Hills principal. Development of the kiosk is divided into three phases. The first is collecting funds. “The big thing next is to get enough money together and materials,” Lippy said. “And that’s gonna be a combination probably of getting some cash through community donations — everything’s pretty much has to be crowdsourced now.” Eighth grade English language arts students began writing $500 grants last week. Later, a small team of students determine the best place for the kiosk and then eighth grade math students will get price quotes from hardware stores. In phase two, students will assist volunteers in building the kiosk. And in

campus, Schultz said a balance needed to be struck between what services were needed at Silverdale and at Bremerton to improve the health of both communities. “Being able to centralize on a single campus all your acute services is going to help the value proposition for the Kitsap Peninsula community as a whole. I truly believe that, just because there will be some efficiencies that we naturally gain,” he said. “The whole team feels a lot of pressure to do what’s right with the development of the Silverdale campus and then,

again, what services are going to remain and be developed in Bremerton.” “Sorting through that is something that we’ll engage the community in doing.” Schultz said adapting to the changes related to healthcare reform will also be a challenge, especially in regards to how the hospital would be compensated. “Because now we’re paid to just treat an illness as opposed to figuring out a way if we could keep you from getting sick in the first place.” “Don’t get me wrong, I think expanded insurance

is great. It’s just a matter of the next wave of change is to put providers at risk to keep people out of the hospital, for instance. And that’s going to be quite a challenge for all of us, not just Harrison but all of us as we figure out how to play in both worlds until that is settled even by CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services), the federal payer system.” Schultz said that Harrison did a good job of meeting the basic and special needs of the community, and that the hospital could coordinate care with its affiliate CHI Franciscan Health or other healthcare systems should a patient need services not available at Harrison. Fiscal issues are also a concern. Former president Bosch said in May that net operating income dropped from 7.5 percent in 2008 to about 3.5 percent today. Bosch said he estimated that number could drop to 2 percent by 2020, creating a challenging financial outlook for Harrison and other hospitals. “That’s true, there’s a lot of tension with being fiscally disciplined,” Schultz said. “I do think we’re in that 3.5 percent margin. It will be our charge to try and stay there. You do that through focus on utilization of your services. You do that through cost discipline.” With the larger purchasing power of Franciscan, Schultz said, “We perhaps can get sup-

• His hardest day: “Two of them,” he said. “When Trooper Tony was killed in 2012, and when two of our deputies were shot at at Walmart in January of 2011.” Boyer spoke of Washington State Patrol Trooper Tony Radulescu who was shot and killed while making a traffic stop on a driver of a pickup truck on State Route 16 at Anderson Hill Road, in Gorst, in February of 2012. He also spoke of an incident at the Port Orchard Walmart where Kitsap County Sheriff’s Deputies Andrew Paul Ejde and John Roy Stacy were shot while attempting to rescue a young woman who authorities thought was being held against her will. In that incident, Sheriff ’s Deputy Krista Rae McDonald shot the suspect and was later given a national award for her work on that day. “All the little stuff pales in comparison to seeing your own guys get shot,” Boyer said. And, he said, crimes against children are equally hard. This summer’s murder of Jenise Wright was difficult on everyone involved, Boyer said. But he is very proud of how

the law enforcement officials and the community worked together to see that the suspect was found. Three recent cases of shaken baby syndrome also have deeply affected him. “Crimes against innocent children are the hardest,” he said. “I won’t miss having to be a part of that.” • The unsolved case that troubles him: “Ruth Davison of Illahee,” he said, without hesitation. “Ruth was just this sweet older lady who would go out an feed the birds in Lions Field Park. She was everybody’s Grandma. I had met her. She was the nicest lady.” According to Boyer, Davison, 90, was found dead in her home at the Illahee Shores Mobile Home Park on July 16, 2000. Her death was ruled a homicide by sheriff ’s detectives and no one was ever convicted in the case. “The case is still open,” he said, noting that her body was found in the bathtub inside her home. “We have a person of interest, but we have to have probable cause to move forward. We haven’t given up. We review every open case

every year.” • The thing he’s leaving on the table: “The deputy’s contract,” he said. “We were so close. We spent an overwhelming amount of time in mediation. We had everyone at the table, but we we’re able to get to an agreement.” Deputies are still working under a 2009 contract and are battling over how much deputies should pay in insurance premiums. “It’s going to have to go to court now,” Boyer said. “Arbitration is the next step. I want to see my guys paid well. It’s expensive to hire and train them and then to have them go elsewhere because the pay is better — that’s not good.” Boyer hopes to see the department go to a set schedule in future years where on July 1 each year, bargaining would begin with a concrete end date by which the contract would be settled. But he’s leaving that in the hands of the incoming sheriff. • What people don’t know about him: “I never liked writing tickets,” he said. “The only time I

High School Wildcats football team. “I grew up around football. ‘Course I grew up in Texas, so you don’t really have a choice,” he said. Schultz brings with him a bit of advice he learned from one of his teachers, James D. Harvey, who ran the Hillcrest HealthCare System in Tulsa, Oklahoma. “Some of the advice he would give was: just focus on your core business and pursue excellence. And if you stick to those two things, chances are you’re going to be successful.” Thus, providing “exceptional” patient care was a core focus, Schultz said. “That’s my first and foremost priority. My second is to really focus on creating a healthier community (via preventative care) ... can we do some things from an education and primary care standpoint to keep people out of the acute care setting?” Schultz said he wanted a hospital culture where everyone holds each other accountable for their performance and which is also enjoyable to work in. “If you can combine those things and you have a culture that supports it that’s how you have a great organization and that’s my job.” On the centralization of Harrison at the Silverdale

decision for him to leave the State Patrol and run for office. But when County Sheriff Pat Jones resigned, he did. That was in 1998, and in the next three elections, Boyer never dropped below 69 percent of the vote. Under his watch, crime has dropped in the county from 35.8 incidents per thousand in 2000 to 28.8 in 2012. After serving four terms as sheriff, Boyer had many memories of his time in law enforcement. • His proudest day: “March 15, 1975,” he said. “I took the day off and married my high school sweetheart.” His wife, Judi, is a nurse at Harrison Medical Center and they’ve been married for 39 years. They have three children, Andrew, who works for the State Patrol as a trooper in Seattle; Tamara who is a nurse like her mother and works in Bellevue; and Sean, a lawyer who is an NCIS agent and also served in Iraq.

plies at a lesser dollar amount; that’s already starting to occur.” “But that (fiscal) challenge isn’t going to go away. And that’s why you’re seeing hospitals consolidate, quite frankly. And trying to prepare … because to be an island unto yourself it’s much harder to develop services, to recapitalize yourself.” Most hospitals needed at least a 3 percent margin to keep reserves healthy, Schultz said. “A 501(c)(3) not-for-profit … you should be generating close to 5 percent. And again that’s so that you can recapitalize yourself in order to be able to support and provide the community benefit that you’re obligated to do.” Three to 5 percent is the sweet spot, but “If you can swing upward in any given year, great. And you may swing downward.” Schultz said that in regards to labor negotiations there has to be a balance of salary and benefits and with running a fiscally efficient hospital. “You really have to look at both sides of the equation. You have a revenue stream, so can you grow services and expand your level of services so that you can grow your revenue base?” “We have to maintain a competitive salary and benefit structure to be able to attract the talent that you need to be able to take care of patients,” he said. One of the first things

Schultz said he would work on was team-building. “Try to make sure that we’re all on the same page and that we’re all supporting each other and then moving in the same direction.” Schultz said that regardless of its affiliation with Franciscan, Harrison would make no changes to how it deals with abortion, birth control and end-of-life issues. “With regard to the ethical and religious directives, we’re a separate entity so we’ll remain secular and so we’ll continue to follow the processes that Harrison has always had,” he said. Shultz pointed out that his title is formally “president,” not “CEO,” to avoid confusion with Franciscan CEO Ketul J. Patel. But Schultz’s duties are still those typical of a chief executive officer. Schultz and his wife Becky have been married for 18 years. “We actually met at a hospital,” he said. They have two teenage children. The family pets include an English bulldog and a Boston terrier. Schultz said he’s moved into a Kitsap area apartment already and the rest of the family plans to move here from Issaquah at some point. “I’m very excited to be here,” Schultz said. He liked the sense of community pride and support for Harrison. “I expect to be here, hopefully, a long, long time and really truly learn the community.”

did, was when it was to take a drunk driver off the streets. I like to help people and I know people don’t like getting tickets.” For Boyer, it’s been a long time since his first day on a job. “I threw papers and mowed lawns,” he said. “And at 15, I went to work at my uncle’s Texaco service station. When that bell went off, we’d run out there in our green uniforms and fill the customer’s gas tank for them.” In his retirement, he hopes to kayak more, travel with his wife, and spend more time with his two granddaughters. “I don’t golf, or hunt, or fish,”he said. “But I’ve been working for 43 years and there’s a lot of neglected projects at home that I need to get to.” He also plans to stay active in the community and in Rotary. Change is good for an organization, he said, and Boyer felt this was the right time for him to retire. “There’s no one factor,” he said. “It’s just time. And I still can’t believe I got paid for 40 years to help people.”

There are kids that are suffering, that are sick.” Staff from the Silverdale Macy’s were on hand to direct the event, including store manager Ryan Ramoso, visual manager David Jones and sales associate Laura Shaw. Shaw is also a Make-A-Wish wish-granting volunteer. Shaw said the $15,772 donated would be enough to fund about three wishes, as a typical wish costs around $5,000. Those wishes could be for an item, for for a community project, to meet a celebrity, or something else. The exact wish was up to the wishee’s imagination, she said. Ramoso said that over the past seven years $8.6 million has been donated to Make-AWish. To learn more visit www. macys.com/believe and www. wish.org.

Black community and police working well together By LESLIE KELLY LKELLY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

In the wake of last week’s Black Lives Matter rally in Bremerton, community leaders and law enforcement official say they are working well together. “Chief Strachan and I have a great working relationship,” said Pastor Johnson, of the Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church. “The chief has attended numerous community events in which he was invited by us including NAACP, PYA, and PACT meetings that have helped build effective partnerships in Kitsap County with police and community.” Mount Zion was one of the sponsoring churches of the rally on Dec. 14. More than 100 people participated in the rally which began at the Ebenezer African Methodist Church on Park Avenue. The group walked to the Opal Robertson Teen Center, where several people spoke and urged young people — especially the black men and boys in the crowd — to be careful when interacting with police. The march was in response to incidents in New York City, Cleveland and Ferguson, Missouri, where unarmed black males were killed by Page A10

Chief Steve Strachen police officers. The deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Eric Garner in New York and Tamir Rice in Cleveland have sparked marches, protests and some rioting across the nation. Ultimately, many are searching for answers to what has been viewed by some as police violence and racial injustice. While some who attended noted that there were no law enforcement officials at the event, both Bremerton Police and Kitsap County Sheriff ’s officials said is was merely that they were not aware of the event in time to attend. “I had a conflict and couldn’t attend,” said Strachan. “The import point to be made is that we don’t just show up at

We have ongoing relationships with those groups, not just a reaction to a specific flashpoint.” “Our outreach is strong and will continue to be strong.” For example, the chief said the department is part of the Police and Community Task Force (PACT) which meets on a regular basis. Recently, police officials presented data to PACT participants about traffic stops and tickets based on race. “We talked about it in an open and honest way,” Strachan said. Discussions also have included changes to the department’s “use of force” policy and its undocumented status policy. Members of PACT also have been at police officers training to view what is being taught about use of force. The department participates in Partners for Youth Achievement (PYA) which is aimed at helping high schoolaged youth succeed through mentoring and development. “We’re working to see that are young kids succeed,” Strachan said.

A Sweet & Smokey tale of family togetherness

Peter O’Cain/ staff photo

Betty Walker watches as employee Michael Lawver slices turkey in her family-operated restaurant which opened this fall in downtown Bremerton. They serve three meals a day. By Peter O’Cain pocain@soundpublishing.com

Betty Walker isn’t supposed to be here. Her heart failed when she was 55. Doctors said the wait for a new heart was too long and she probably wouldn’t make it past 58. But here she is, 74 years old and proud owner of the Sweet & Smokey Diner, where everything is made from scratch. Doors opened in August and not much traffic passes by her spot on Park Avenue near Fifth Street. If you ask her, Bremerton doesn’t know what it’s missing. “There’s not a place in town that does barbecue and deli and desserts and ice cream and fresh soup every day and be able to sit down and enjoy it for

as little as we put it out for,” Walker said. “It’s just not gonna happen any place else.” Walker wants Sweet & Smokey to feel familiar — like the kind of place people meet for lunch because they know the food’s great and they can hang out as long as they want. “That’s the kind of place I’d like this to become — a community place‚“ Walker said. “A place where community can get together and really share.” The decor is tailored to fit that vibe. The front of the diner has about 10 two-person tables with red tablecloths. There’s a section of stool seating against the east wall that pays homage of the building’s history when it was called

Ted’s Lunch and served workers during World War II. About 20 different meats are cooked and cut in-house, including five kinds of bacon. They’re on display within sight of the front door. It’s the first thing most customers notice. There’s also a larger dining area with family seating and local artwork for purchase hung from the wall. Each month they feature a different artist. December features nature photographs by Patricia Thomas. At first glance, they look as if they were made with a brush instead of a camera. Walker opened Sweet & Smokey in August with her son, Nathan Sultemeier, and daughter,

Cindy Abbay-Lugo. The siblings have very different culinary backgrounds Sultemeier, 57, has worked as a butcher for almost 40 years. About a year ago, Walker asked Sultemeier if he wanted to open a restaurant with her. He agreed, thinking she wanted a more traditional restaurant. “I’m thinkin’ I’m just gonna go and make all my smoke stuff and it would be just a regular restaurant because my sister had just gotten out of culinary school. And I thought she just wanted to cook,” he said. “And so then she tells me that she planned on us barbecuing.” He cooks with a four foot by eight foot smoker and a barbecue pit he built himself out of a 300-gallon drum he got from NASCAR driver Kasey Kane’s grandfather. He uses briquettes and wet smoked wood ships. “I just build a small fire in a small box that I can clean-up easy. And I’m not using wood because we don’t have room to stack it,” Sultemeier said. “It’s not really ideal but it creates a very decent product and I don’t like a really smoky product anyway. People just get carried away.” His sister, Abbay-Lugo, 47, got her culinary arts degree from Olympic College. She’s the mastermind behind the popular barbecue chicken waffle sandwich, a combination of pulled chicken mixed

with maple barbecue sauce served between two waffles. “I like to put different things and create something different and new,” Abbay-Lugo said. She’s famous for her unique pastries — think spicy chocolate cookies — and for letting kids decorate their complimentary desserts. “I’m definitely a mother at heart,” she said. She has four sons of her own. Abbay-Lugo sells her desserts under the name Cinfully Sweets. They’re available at Cornerstone Coffee on Pacific Avenue and will soon be available in RK Mart near the Manette Bridge. It remains to be seen if Sweet & Smokey will become a Bremerton legend — it’s new and even

Sheriff’s office honors staff with annual awards By LESLIE KELLY

LKELLY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

On a rainy, windy evening more than 200 people gathered in Port Orchard to hear Kitsap County Sheriff Steve Boyer and Sheriff-elect Gary Simpson present the annual departmental awards and recognitions. Among those who were honored Dec. 11 were Deputies Ben Herrin and Kurtis Lont, who were given the Medal of Valor for their efforts during a New Year’s Eve Day incident on Dec. 31, 2013. Simpson said the medal of valor is the highest award presented by the sheriff and recognizes an outstanding act of valor where an employee performed a hazardous act at extraordinary risk to their life, while in the performance of their normal duties. The employee must have acted rationally and logically in determining the course of action, acted above and beyond the level of duty normally expected, acted in accordance with the highest ideals of professional police service and did not use poor judgment or procedures that created the necessity of the their act. Simpson described the incident: Just after 1 p.m., Dec. 31, 2013, following a request for assistance to check on the safety and welfare of a 42 year-old female, Deputies

Deputies Ben Herrin, left, and Kurtis Lont stand with Sheriff Steve Boyer during the annual awards ceremony recently. They received the Medal of Valor for 2014. Herrin and Lont responded to residential property in the 8400 block of Bethel Burley Road SE, in South Kitsap. The originator of the 9-1-1 call, the woman’s sister, was concerned for her safety as there was a protection order in place involving a 44 year-old male. The man was believed to have a firearm and the victim was being held against her will at the house. The woman could not communicate freely. While en route, radio dispatched that there were multiple persons in the house and the male suspect was armed with a gun.

“Deputies Herrin and Lont placed themselves at extraordinary risk by advancing in a tree line and up an elevated driveway to a position of tactical advantage to properly assess any possible threat from the residence,” Simpson said. As both deputies moved up the driveway, radio updated the call to advise that there were multiple persons inside the house but that no gun was involved. This added to the on-scene confusion that was pervasive. Once in position at the top of the driveway, the deputies observed a vehicle

parked in front of the house. By this time, those inside the house were now outside. They also observed that the male suspect was attempting to force the female victim into the car. The woman was able to free herself and ran away from her antagonizer. From the driver’s side of the parked car, the male suspect began shooting at responding law enforcement officers. Deputies Herrin and Lont were forced to fire their weapons in an effort to stop the lethal force being used against them and to protect others who were on

scene – some also who were attempting to flee. The actions of both deputies brought the threat under control and ensured the safety of themselves and other law enforcement officers and persons in the immediate vicinity, he said. The male suspect sustained gunshot injuries. No others were injured. “Deputies Herrin and Lont immediately restrained the suspect while simultaneously coordinating medical response from South Kitsap Fire & Rescue,” Simpson said. “Both deputies expedited this response by starting immediate life saving efforts with a patrol deputy’s individual first aid kit, as they loaded the suspect onto a stretcher and wheeled him to a waiting medic unit.” The suspect recovered from his injuries and was arrested upon discharge from the hospital, Simpson said. He presently resides in the Kitsap County Jail, awaiting trial, on charges of assault, first degree with a deadly weapon and unlawful imprisonment. At the same ceremony the Sheriff ’s Life Saving Award was presented to Deputy Dan Twomey for saving a 17-year-old girl from attempting suicide on an overpass on Mitchell Avenue that crosses over Mile Hill Drive. The Sheriff ’s Life Saving Award was presented to Deputy Scott Jensen for performing CPR on a 40-yearold man at a residence on West Kingston Road North Kitsap. The Sheriff ’s Award for Professional Excellence was given to Officer Ernest Wohleb for his professional endeavors to draft and develop the mechanism for jail inmate disciplinary procedures, more commonly known as a “due process.” Special recognition was given to several employees who are retiring. Among them were Detective Doug Dillard, Sgt. Steve Sipple, Undersheriff Dennis Bonneville and Sheriff

Boyer, himself. Bonneville spent 29 years with the Washington State Patrol, retiring in March 1998, only to start his second law enforcement career with the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s office on Feb. 2, 1999. He served more than 15 years with the county.

People helping pets...pets helping people. Ricardo is a 4 yr old possible Maine Coon who showed up at a local vets as a stray. Surprisingly no one ever came looking for this very handsome silver tabby male. He got an eye infection that wound up in his losing his left eye. It hasn’t slowed him up a bit. Ricardo loves to play with kittens. He will need to be an indoor only cat now. Ricardo is hanging out at the Poulsbo Petco hoping he gets a new family for Christmas. 1-888-558-PAWS • www.pawsbink.org

Zen and bird watching Create the right setting to introduce nature to youth KItsaP BIrDInG By GENE BULLOCK

I

once asked a friend to explain his passion for riding his motorcycle. “If you don’t know,” he said, “I can’t explain it to you. If you know, I don’t have to explain it to you.” Devotees of pursuits ranging from stamp collecting to rock climbing can relate to his “zen-like” connection with those who share their passion. I once met a man with a world-class collection of automobile license plates.

Clockwise from left, The tiny ruby-crowned kinglet has a red crest that is seldom seen unless it’s excited; its spring vocalizations are lively and loud. The American goldfinch is a year-round visitor to Washington feeders, but loses its bright yellow plumage in winter. The brightly colored Townsend’s warbler is a prized visitor at Washington feeders. Don Willott

He was the envy of his kindred society of license collectors. I recall the first time

I went fishing. I sat with my line dangling in the water for what seemed like a tediously long time,

and wondered why people spent their time this way. But after I landed my first fish, I never wondered again. And during a pedantic force-feeding by an uninspiring teacher, I wondered what drew people to poetry and literature; but then I fell in love with words. A love for nature and wildlife may be in our DNA, but it sometimes needs a spark to light those neural pathways. Young birds have the innate ability to sing; but it’s triggered by hearing their parents sing. My labored point is if you’re introducing children to bird watching, it

pays to create the right setting. Pick a location and time of the year when birds are plentiful and easy to see. Spring birding at places like Nisqually Wildlife Refuge or Theler Wetlands in Belfair can be ideal. But a well-stocked backyard feeder is a wonderful place to bond with birds and crystallize a lifelong love affair with bird watching. Once hooked, they’ll patiently endure the numbing cold and rain that come with winter birding. Learning to identify birds from a book can be challenging. But groups like the Kitsap Audubon Society offer introductory trips for beginners that

can jump start that learning process. Starting in your own backyard makes it easy to start with a relative handful of familiar birds. Getting close up and personal with birds is made easier when you can watch them from the window. It’s like turning an aquarium inside out, with the observer seated comfortably inside while the fish feed just outside the glass. Young birds are born with the ability to sing and to fly. With nurturing parents and enthusiastic examples, it occurs naturally. With the proliferation of man-made threats, our birds need lots of friends who care.

R

eaders interested in getting a fix for science, humor and even some live music can get their fill at Poulsbo’s Liberty Bay Books in January. Author Patrick Loafman will read from his 2013 novel, “Somewhere Upriver,” at Liberty Bay Books on Jan. 4, at 2 p.m. Using his background

as a herpetologist — an amphibian specialist — Loafman crafts a humorous tale of a burgeoning scientist and an eccentric research assistant in “Somewhere Upriver.” The young scientist is thrown into a world of toxic salamanders and government conspiracies. The story takes place in Kitsap’s backyard, the Olympic National Park, where Loafman has spent considerable time as a herpetologist working for the park. He weaves his knowledge of the field and the Olympic landscape into the story, as well as a

few other fun facts, such as Haiti’s zombie mythology. Loafman also lives on the Dandelion Farm, near Joyce, on the north side of the Olympic Mountains. When he’s not studying amphibians or writing novels, he creates gourd art and gourd musical instruments such as drums, banjos and mandolins. At his Liberty Bay Books appearance, Loafman will play a kora, a 21-string harp/lute that originated in West Africa. Liberty Bay Books is located at 18881 D Front St., Poulsbo.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

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.

aroundkitsap Articles from neighboring Kitsap communities. For more news, read these newspapers online. BAINBRIDGE ISLAND REVIEW Application filed for retail marijuana shop: A new application has been submitted to the Washington State Liquor Control Board for a retail marijuana shop on Day Road. Evergreen, a Seattle-based company that previously tried to get a license for a marijuana shop on NE Valley Road in Rolling Bay, is seeking permission for a similar store at 7880 NE Day Road. The state is already reviewing applications for a marijuana growing and processing business in the industrial park at 8040 NE Day Road. That project is being pursued by Way Kool, Inc. The company filed for an application for the operation on Dec. 1. Bainbridge City Manager Doug Schulze told the city council at its meeting Dec. 15 that the city had been notified about the pending retail application by the Liquor Control Board and may offer comments on the application. “We are reviewing that at this time and determining how that fits with the zoning code,” Schulze said. The application for a retail license was filed by Alex Snyder. In an email to the Review, he said it was premature to talk about the application. — BainbridgeReview.com

BREMERTON PATRIOT New school district discipline tactics reviewed: The Bremerton School District moved closer to adopting new disciplinary policies during a recent school board meeting. Included in the new policy is a language change that allows schools to shift from punishment to corrective action. “The goal is to correct one’s behavior as opposed to punishing someone for their behavior,” said Patty Glaser, communications coordinator. Under Policy 3241, longterm suspensions would be limited to the school year in which the conduct hap-

pened; emergency suspensions won’t exceed 10 days or will be converted into another form of corrective action; and parents will be able to request an appeal orally or in writing. — BremertonPatriot.com

CENTRAL KITSAP REPORTER Sheriff investigates two threats at Olympic High: Kitsap County Sheriff ’s deputies are investigating two separate potential threats made against Olympic High School Dec. 17. Deputy Scott Wilson of the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office said rumors on social media that the two incidents were from one student were unfounded and unlikely. The first incident was during a fifth-period math class. Someone left a note on one of the many school calculators that students share. “It was a threat to harm. Nothing specific, just threats that there was going to be an incident,” Wilson said. The message was not directed against anyone in particular. The second event was the same day during an emergency drill. Wilson said that during the drill a male student was overheard discussing with other students that the drill activities are probably what would happen during a real incident. The boy did not make any threats. “Just verbalizing,” Wilson said. Words to the effect of, “ ’Hey, if I were that guy …’ ” “This was overheard … it raised a bit of an alarm,” Wilson said. — CentralKitsapReporter. com

A private contractor went out on a city limb, Dec. 2. The contractor was cutting branches and limbs off of a maple tree owned by the City of Poulsbo, however, he did not have permission from the city. The action caused an uproar with citizens and city officials. Police were called to the scene, but were too late to halt the cutting of some of the tree’s largest branches. The contractor told police that he performs maintenance for the neighboring building and the tree’s branches hang over its roof, causing shade and therefore mold to grow. He said that he has pruned the tree in the past. The police report states that the tree was trimmed to an extent that it may die. The city has hired an arborist to gauge the damage and the value of the tree. The Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Office is considering charges against the contractor. Left: Contributed / Right: Richard D. Oxley chasing the 24,829-squarefoot property in downtown Poulsbo. Erickson said no price or site plans have been discussed yet. “We’re entering into a negotiation for a contingency sale,” said Mayor Becky Erickson. “What happens over the next three to four weeks is that I will work with Wes Larson and Michael Brown (of Sound West Group) to negotiate the sale agreement. The contingencies will be the timeline, price and terms.” As negotiations have only just begun, Erickson was uncertain as to what ultimately would become of the property should Sound West Group purchase it. “There have been men-

tions of apartments, but I don’t know if that is the case,” she said. “I would assume that is the direction they are going because they are doing the Spyglass Hill apartments in Bremerton.” The Spyglass Hill apartment complex is a $15 million, 80-unit apartment complex under development on Bremerton’s Highland Avenue, overlooking downtown. Sound West Group is a commercial brokerage company that leases and manages properties. It also acquires and develops properties, and builds apartment, office and retail buildings. The company also dabbles in single-family housing.

In November, the city lowered the property’s price to $950,000 to help attract buyers. It was a 9.5 percent price drop from the previous list price of $1,050,000. — NorthKitsapHerald.com

PORT ORCHARD INDEPENDENT Lease transferred for new Bremerton racetrack: Big-time motor sports may be on its way to Bremerton. Port of Bremerton commissioners agreed to transfer the lease on port property for a proposed new racetrack from the nonprofit Bremerton MotorSports park to the for-profit Circuit of the Northwest LLC. The agreement was made

NORTH KITSAP HERALD Poulsbo negotiates sale of police station to Bremerton company: The Poulsbo City Council gave Mayor Becky Erickson permission on Dec. 17 to begin negotiations for the sale of the city’s old police station in downtown Poulsbo, overlooking Liberty Bay. Sound West Group of Bremerton has approached the city with interest of pur-

in November. The 45-year lease specifies a $5,000 rent for years one to five; $7,000 in the sixth and seventh years; and the reminder of the lease at a $40,000 annual payment or 5 percent of the company’s “defined gross revenue,” whichever is greater. The new company has plans to build a $30 million racetrack on about 250 acres along Highway 3, across from Bremerton National Airport, if it can find investors to back the project. The proposed 2.4-mile road course could accommodate a variety of motorcycle and auto races, he said. In addition to the main track, the facility would include a space for a motocross track, a kart track, a clubhouse, convention center and spectator seating. Circuit of the Northwest has hired the German engineering firm of Tilke to design the track. The area, which is narrow, hilly, and has more than 130 feet of elevation change, requires a unique layout, Nilsen said. He added that the close proximity to Seattle is a plus. It is described as a 40-footwide road course, with a 2,600-foot front straightway. The closest similar racetracks are in Utah and California. — PortOrchardIndependent.com

ainbridge islanders crossing High School Road have watched this quirky structure slowly come to form over the past couple of years. What has affectionately become known as the “Hobbit House” is now finished, and its owner has plans to put it to good use. “I’m getting things cleaned up and putting stuff in the kitchen, getting it ready to go,” said Chris Whited, who built the structure on the edge of his High School Road property. “A lot of people wonder what it is,” he said. “Some people think maybe it’s shop or a coffee shop or an office building, but no, it’s a little cottage.” The cottage is now a vacation rental for visitors to the island. Whited will soon list it on the market. The vacation rental is located just outside of downtown Winslow, on Bainbridge Island. The 800-square-foot cottage, with additional 470-square-foot garage, has garnered attention from local and international press for its sloped roofs, outward leaning walls and storybook appearance complete with a waterwheel. “When I was drawing up the plans I decided to put a waterwheel on it,” Whited said. “I just like waterwheels and when I was a kid I saw a waterwheel when I went out to the coast and I liked it.” “The neighbors called it a ‘Hobbit House’ and it stuck,” he said, noting that he reminds folks that Hobbits live in underground homes. But despite the reminder, “Hobbit House” is what

The Hobbit House has been constructed over the past few years on Bainbridge Island’s High School Road. It is now complete and owner Chris Whited plans to rent it out as a vacation rental for island visitors. It includes fairy tale-styled roofs and a working waterwheel. Luciano Marano

has stuck. “(There was) a newspaper article in London,” Whited said. “People were complaining (over there) that it’s not a ‘Hobbit house.’” The finished cottage wasn’t what Whited initially planned. He started out with aims to build nothing more than a chicken coop. “When I started building the chicken coop I had been down in Cannon Beach. Somebody had a garden shed behind their house and the ridge of their roof sloped down to the middle,” Whited said. “I took some pictures of that, and I liked that style. When I did the chicken coop I sloped the walls out and did the roof.” Whited wanted to build and sell the coop as a fun project, but the coop didn’t sell. “I had it for sale for a while and people said if it was bigger it would make a great playhouse, and so

Come Home To Poulsbo Place II In The New Year I built that,” Whited said. “I couldn’t sell those. So I thought it would be nice to make a full-size one.” From chicken coop to cottage, locals have kept an eye on the progress, and off-islanders have journeyed to check in as well. “People are coming up from California and Nevada and said it was in their local paper,” Whited said. “If they are in the area, they stop by and check it out.” “A couple years ago the Chamber of Commerce had a tour bus on the island. People were asking about the house,” Whited said. “And they changed the route. One morning I looked out from our house and there’s a tour bus with people checking out the (cottage). The cottage has attracted so much attention it now has its own Facebook page, www.facebook. com/HobbitHouseon BainbridgeIsland.
