Infraction recommended in July 4 fatality NKF&R fire engine and Yamaha scooter By KIPP ROBERTSON
krobertson@northktisapherald.com
KINGSTON — A Kitsap County Sheriff’s investigator found the driver of a North Kitsap Fire &
Rescue fire engine “failed to give right of way” to the driver of a Yamaha scooter who was killed July 4, and is recommending the driver of the engine be cited for failure to “keep right except when passing, etc.” The 303-page investigation report was turned over to the
Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Office in late October. A charging decision had not been made as of Dec. 23. The fire engine was approximately 3.6 feet in the oncoming lane — northbound Miller Bay Road — when Jason Foster’s 2007 Yamaha YP400 scooter crashed
into the front left of the engine, according to the investigation report. The fire engine was waiting to turn left onto West Kingston Road at the intersection when the crash occurred, according to the investigation report. Foster, 48, of Kingston, was declared dead at the scene.

POULSBO — Poulsbo City Councilman Ed Stern is known not just as a city rep and a proponent of economic development, he’s known to get in a joke or quip in here or there. His comedic stylings were evident throughout 2014. Here are a few notable quips from 2014. March 19 As council members, including Gary Nystul, comment on recently-planted daffodils around Poulsbo and how pretty they look, Stern points to Councilman Nystul, who is wearing a yellow shirt. Stern: “I appreciate Councilman Nystul’s remarks, and I further appreciate him dressing as a daffodil tonight.” March 26 A man at an Economic Development Committee meeting
At the time of the crash, the traffic signal was a flashing yellow turn arrow and the fire engine was required to yield, according to the investigation report. Foster had a solid yellow light; a vehicle can legally enter an intersection on a solid yellow light, even if the

ere’s a look at the top 10 stories of 2014, as selected by the staff of the North Kitsap Herald. NO. 1: 6-YEAR-OLD GIRL MURDERED The body of Jenise Paulette Wright, 6, of East Bremerton was found on Aug. 7 in a forest behind the Steele Creek Mobile Home Park, where she lived.
Jenise was reported missing Aug. 3 and several law enforcement agencies participated in an area-wide search for her. Neighbors agreed to participate in DNA tests in order to narrow down the list of possible suspects. Gabriel Gaeta, a teen neighbor and friend of the family, was arrested Aug. 9 and charged with murder after authorities said his DNA
and other evidence linked him to the crime scene. NO. 2: KITSAP COUNTY BUYS P.G.

POULSBO — As mayor and as a long-time Poulsbo resident, I love this time of year. It’s a chance to look back and count INSIDE my blessings, and look ■ Economic ahead at what forecast by the new year Marc Abshire, might bring. education As I look forecast by Beth ahead, I can Worthington. say with certainty that I — Pages A4-5 am optimistic. Cautiously optimistic — that’s the fiscal conservative in me — but optimistic nonetheless. The pundits, experts, and data all tell us that American business has solidly recovered from the recession. To be sure, some businesses didn’t make it; but others emerged from the ashes and are stronger than ever. Overall, our local businesses are in good shape. And that has a trickleSee CITY, Page A13

Local fund nears $20K mark But $14K away from 2013 total POULSBO — Seventeen Poulsbo Fire Department personnel pitched in. So did the Teddy Bear Coalition — to the tune of $1,000. All told, residents contributed $4,115 last week to boost the Poulsbo Lions/ Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund total to $17,879 by Dec. 26. The annual campaign is from Thanksgiving week to New Year’s week, although donations are gratefully accepted after that date. As of Dec. 26, the fund was $14,552 away from matching last year’s campaign total of $32,431. John S. Macdonald, a Poulsbo CPA and a director of the fund, said donations ensure local families are able to enjoy holiday meals at home and helps several hundred households meet emergency needs and keep the lights and heat on. The Poulsbo Lions Club manages the fund. Aid is administered by North Kitsap Fishline, St. Vincent de Paul, and ShareNet. All money goes to those in need. “Throughout the year, people have told me, ‘Thanks for helping [the Poulsbo Lions/Raab Foundation] Bellringer Fund. It helped me out when I needed it,’” said Mike Brooks of Mike’s Car See UPDATE, Page A3

FORECASTS FOR 2015
IN OUR OPINION
Our wishes for An ‘economic spring’ in 2015 the new year T By MARC ABSHIRE
ECONOMY
For the North Kitsap Herald
T
he City of Poulsbo starts 2015 having completed its best sales tax revenue year in at least five years. Kitsap County’s unemployment rate is the sixth-lowest in the state. New neighborhoods are under construction. The USS Nimitz will arrive at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in early 2015 to begin a 16-month maintenance period, and that means more jobs at PSNS. Poulsbo and Kitsap County seem to be getting their economic groove back. But the county’s 6.2 percent jobless rate translates to 7,200 people out of work. And there are indications that in many cases, a new job doesn’t mean a livable wage; at North Kitsap Fishline, 700 clients moved on to self-sufficiency in 2014, but they were replaced by 600 others. We have reason to be optimistic about 2015. But the year brings with it new challenges as well as new opportunities. Here are some things we would like to see accomplished this year. RESOLVE DISPUTE REGARDING LIVEABOARD POPULATION The Poulsbo Port District has ample parking on Jensen Street to accommodate an increased population of people who live on their boats at the Port of Poulsbo Marina. Its number of pumpout stations exceeds the state’s standards. The port’s marina has 253 permanent slips and is allowed by state regulation to have up to 10 percent of those slips reserved for liveaboards. The port has 12 liveaboard slips now and would like to increase that number to 25. Under a 1983 agreement with the city, the port is prevented from adding liveaboards because of limited downtown parking. The city would prefer that the port have one parking stall for every two boat slips. The port can now meet that requirement. Putting the port through a costly permit process is only a ploy to disguise the city’s opposition to the increase. And it’s wrong. Liveaboards are good for marinas: They are a 24/7 presence and are often the first to notice anything that could threaten the environment or public safety. The marina is their front yard. Liveaboards shop close to home: For a liveaboard in the Port of Poulsbo Marina, close to home is downtown Poulsbo. The city has no grounds to hold the port to the 1983 agreement. The Port of Poulsbo should be allowed to increase its number of liveaboard slips to 25. EXPAND PORT DISTRICT BOUNDARIES TO THE CITY LIMITS The Port of Poulsbo erred a year ago when it proposed expanding the port district to include neighboring communities on Liberty Bay. And voters responded likewise, voting against the measure by a landslide. However, among voters living within the Poulsbo city limits, the measure lost by 56 votes. We believe the Poulsbo Port District should again ask voters — those living within the Poulsbo city limits – to enlarge the district boundaries to match the city’s boundaries. Currently, only half of the city’s commercial and residential property owners pay a property tax to support a port district that benefits the entire city. The benefits of enlarging the district to the city limits: All voters in Poulsbo would be able to vote for port commissioners; currently, only port district residents can do that. All residents of Poulsbo would have a voice in port matters. The enlarged port district would generate significant tax revenue that could be used to replace the breakwater and its creosoted pilings; improve the seaplane dock and the marina, so it can accommodate larger tour vessels; and prevent further erosion at the foot of Anderson Parkway.

he analogy I like to use when I talk about what’s in store for us next year is the cycle of seasons. If the key economic indicators prove to be correct, 2015 will be like spring, following the economic winter of the past few years. These economic seasons usually last longer than the annual weather cycle of seasons, which is good news for those of us who have been feeling the sting of this brutal economic winter. But many who suffered more than just “a sting” were part of a kind of natural pruning, culled out by the winter and forced to either make changes, improvements, and compromises, or completely fold. The winter has made us stronger, if it hasn’t ruined us, and we are now poised for the coming spring and the budding emergence of opportunities and growth. Businesses and individuals who are positioned well, and who have
anticipated the brighter days ahead, will be better able to take advantage of the economic growth. This next year, we should see fewer foreclosures on home mortgages, lower unemployment rates, more travel and tourism, better retail sales, and rising property values. Improvements, renovations, and additions to businesses and homes, stalled by years of winter, will be started once again. Vacations will be planned and expanded. Orders for goods and services will go up, as will pay and salaries. And more of us will be on the move — in bicycles, boats, and moving vans. There will be visibly more activity, but don’t expect a frenzy. Winter also taught us lessons about fiscal conservatism and the wisdom of “slow and steady.” We learned how important our friends are to us, and the value of networking. In
places like North Kitsap, community and connectedness are precious. Here, it’s more about what we can do for one another, than who you know. Organizations like the Greater Poulsbo Chamber of Commerce, Soroptimist International of Greater North Kitsap, Rotary Club of Poulsbo, Poulsbo Lions Club, Kiwanis of Greater Poulsbo, North Kitsap Fishline, YWCA, and many others make and define us. As an example, the number of businesses that are joining the Greater Poulsbo Chamber of Commerce and are renewing their memberships has been rising, and that will continue in 2015 — which is one of the key indicators of an improving economy. So is hotel tax revenue, which is also on the rise, along with sales tax revenue in the City of Poulsbo, which saw double-digit increases this year. With the perspective that “a rising tide raises all boats,” the Greater Poulsbo Chamber of See ECONOMY, Page A5
Improved graduation rate for NKSD By BETH WORTHINGTON
EDUCATION
For the North Kitsap Herald
T
he outlook for 2015 is that it is only going to get better. North Kitsap has a community that values education and capable and caring teachers and staff, two strengths determined by a survey and focus groups conducted last spring. This past year brought the addition of more than a dozen teachers, thanks to the generosity of the community as shown by the passage of the levy and the work of the Legislature that increased funds. The activity buses are back to increase participation in afterschool activities. The district also made a smooth start to the new school year this fall. According to a survey, 84 percent of students
had a positive start to the school year. Chief Kitsap Academy has compacted directly with the state this year, has increased enrollment, and is poised to serve NK students well. Looking to the future, the district adopted three strategic directions after a process that involved secondary students, district leadership and 110 community members. The strategic directions are: success for all students, stakeholder support and satisfaction, and effective and efficient operations. Additionally, the board adopted two outcome measures to have 100 percent of third-graders reading on grade level and to have a

graduation rate in the top 5 percent of the state by 2020. These are ambitious goals and will benefit all students as educational systems are improved. For 2015: ■ NKSD is focusing on effective teaching through collaborative focus on standards and formative assessment to ensure all students are learning. ■ The district has joined with other districts and the educational service district to leverage resources for school safety and security. ■ Additional specialists have been added for mental health, substance abuse and suicide prevention support with grants from Kitsap County’s one-half of 1 percent sales tax collection.

Continued from page A4 Larger port district boundaries would empower the commission to look beyond the waterfront for economic development. Under state law, the port district could play a major role in economic revitalization in Poulsbo through the acquisition of property for commercial, ecotourism and recreational uses. That means a stronger local economy and more jobs. The commission should put the measure on the November 2015 ballot. NEW VISION FOR VIKING AVENUE The former auto row still grasps for a new vision. Downtown is “Little Norway.” College Marketplace is the destination for big box stores. Likewise, Viking Avenue needs a new brand and a new vision. No other area of the city has more potential. Street improvements are completed to the city limits. All necessary infrastructure is installed. Two years ago, the city established design standards for mixed-use development that come with

developer incentives. There are established businesses here: Ag-related services, auto sales and services, a bank, brewery, children’s clothing store, grocery, home services, movie theater and restaurants. The area has historical resources such as the Martinson House Museum, Nelson Park, and the County Road 50 Walking Trail; and residential neighborhoods. An organization similar to the Historic Downtown Poulsbo Association could help identify activities and services missing in Poulsbo that could be accommodated on Viking Avenue. This year, we urge the formation of a Historic Viking Avenue Association, which would engage commercial property owners, residents and city officials in conversation about Viking Avenue’s future. In the past, Mayor Becky Erickson suggested the city could start a fund which could make zero-interest loans to businesses so they could improve their properties. That should be part of the discussion. Viking Avenue is an important part of the city’s economy. We believe it could again be an attractive, economically vibrant thoroughfare.
ry, we will develop a long range strategic plan over this next year in order to help our organization and our members be better prepared for “the cycle of seasons” through at least 2025. Winter will certainly come again someday, after a summer and an autumn.
Continued from page A4 n New state-mandated graduation requirements are being implemented to better prepare our students for citizenship, college, and career. For next year, a required semester of civics will be first implemented for 2016 graduates. This course provides knowledge of local, state and federal government, including procedures, responsibilities, and local issues. For the class of 2019, which are the freshmen entering in fall 2015, graduation will require 24 credits, an increase of 1.5 credits. Regarding the forecast for Washington state, funding for K-12 education and NKSD is going to increase next year. By how much and for what specific purposes will be determined by the state Legislature. The last two-year budget took a record amount of time to reach agreement, leaving districts with uncertainty when planning. This budget year is expected to be just as exciting. New this year: the state Supreme Court will be poised to levy sanctions if the Legislature does not make significant progress on its paramount duty of funding education. On

Sept. 11, 2014, the court found the Legislature in contempt and gave it the 2015 session to purge the contempt before imposing sanctions or other remedies. Regarding the forecast for the federal government, this year may bring the reauthorization of the 2007 Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), also known as No Child Left Behind (NCLB). This is important to Washington state, as the state lost the federal waiver and restricted the use of federal dollars. In North Kitsap School District, $115,000 for 201415 was set aside for supplemental education services or school choice for students of schools that have not met student achievement targets of NCLB. Reauthorization could allow local district choice in how the district uses
those funds in the future for school improvement. North Kitsap students are talented and represent their community well and will continue to do so in 2015. The North Kitsap Fill the Bus campaign is in its third year and has donated food and supplies to local charities: Fishline, Stand Up for Kids, ShareNet and Kingston Food Bank. NKHS was league champion in volleyball, boys tennis, girls soccer and football. KHS debate program is ranked sixth in the state and in the top 10 percent nationwide for the third year in a row.

Beautiful You... Are antioxidants important?
To understand the power of antioxidants, you must first understand the negative effects of free radicals. Much like their name implies free radicals like ultraviolet radiation from the sun and pollution steal electrons from healthy molecules or cells. Once free radicals strip away an electron to become balanced, cellular damage has occurred and an imbalance has been created. Antioxidants are beneficial as they give up electrons to balance free radicals without causing damage. Topical antioxidants like Vitamins C and E can repair and prevent damage caused by free radicals. Knowing what antioxidants are best for your personal cellular damage is essential. Consulting with a licensed aesthetician will start you on the path of controlling the ill effects of free radicals on your skin.

Fatality
Continued from page A1 light turns red while the vehicle is in the intersection, according to the investigation report. “Based on my investigation, the fire engine was not legally standing and failed to give right of way to [Foster] by being left of the center line by approximately 3.6 feet,” the traffic investigator wrote. The driver of the fire engine was with the department for about two years. The driver passed all emergency driving courses required in order to operate the equipment he uses, according to the investigation. He is not being identified because no charge had been filed as of deadline. NKF&R Fire Chief Dan Smith said on Dec. 23 the firefighter had returned to duty but was shaken up
by the fatal collision and chose to resign “a couple of months ago.” Smith said the department took the fatal collision hard. “With any accident, this one in particular, the feeling is more on a personal level,” Smith said. “The tragedy … I really feel for that family, particularly this time of year.” Foster was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. According to the investigation, however, the helmet came off at some point during the collision. Foster was thrown from the scooter and came to rest 47.26 feet from the fire engine. The recommended charge is a traffic infraction, unless there are other factors, such as recklessness or impairment, according to Trooper Russ Winger, spokesman for Washington State Patrol spokesman. Charges for such an infrac-

Non-active THC
The driver of the fire engine tested positive for cannabinoids, according to
a Washington State Patrol toxicology report included in the investigation. A blood draw was taken and the driver was found to have a Carboxy-THC level of 6.3 nanograms per milliliter of blood drawn. The
Friday, January 2, 2015 | North Kitsap Herald
chemical is non-active and stays in a person’s system for “several days,” according to the report. Active, or Hydroxy, THC is what causes impairment and euphoria; that was not in the driver’s blood, according to the report. A driver who has at least 5 nanograms per ml of Hydroxy-THC will lose his or her license for 90 days and face possible prosecution for DUI. The driver was on day two of a 48-hour shift. He told investigators he had slept about seven hours the night before.
How the crash occurred
The fire engine was returning from a structure fire. The occupants — the firefighter behind the wheel and an NKF&R lieutenant in the passenger seat — stopped at NKF&R headquarters on Miller Bay Road to resupply the engine, and were returning
to their station, Station 85 on South Kingston Road. The engine came to a full stop in the southbound left-turn lane of Miller Bay Road, waiting to turn onto West Kingston Road. The driver of the engine began to make the left turn, but stopped when he saw two bicyclists approaching the intersection in the northbound lane. As the driver waited, all lights for southbound Miller Bay Road turned yellow. The bicyclists made a hard stop on their end of the intersection. Lights then turned red for southbound traffic. “That’s when I looked up, saw that the yellows had gone completely red … and started to move forward, took my foot off the gas and immediately [the lieutenant] said ‘stop’ and that’s See FATALITY, Page A7

Continued from page A6 when I looked back up at the bicyclists,” the driver told investigators. At that point, the cyclists told investigators, Foster passed them on their left and entered the intersection. The engine was at a complete stop when Foster’s scooter crashed into it, according to the investigation report. “Based on the investigation, it was obvious both

occupants [of the engine] were focused on the actions of the bicyclists,” the investigator wrote.
What witnesses saw
The fire lieutenant in the engine said he told the driver to stop because he saw approaching bicyclists and wasn’t sure if the driver had enough time to turn without cutting them off. The lieutenant admitted he was focused on the bicyclists and never saw Foster enter the intersection. Then he felt the impact and real-
ized the engine had been struck by another vehicle. Both cyclists said they believe the northbound lights were yellow when Foster entered the intersection. The cyclists and another witness — a driver in the left-turn lane of West Kingston Road, waiting to turn onto southbound Miller Bay Road — said Foster was traveling at an excessive speed. However, investigators determined Foster’s speed when entering the intersection was 34.55 mph, below the 45
mph speed limit.
The traffic study A traffic study focused on how fast Foster was traveling and at what point he likely saw the fire engine as a threat and reacted. Based on a speed of 34.55 mph, the investigator determined Foster was approximately 167.05 feet from the fire truck when the truck moved seven feet out of its turn lane. When Foster reacted and hit his brakes, he was 99.69 feet from impact, but would

have needed 127.98 feet to come to a complete stop. The investigator determined Foster could have perceived the engine as a potential danger from 531.45 feet away. However, when Foster first observed the fire engine, the engine was fully in the left turn lane. When he went around the cyclists, the engine moved and crossed the center line. By the time Foster saw the engine again, it had moved into the northbound lane. The light is yellow for 4.5
seconds before turning red. That means Foster was in the intersection in the middle of the light’s cycle and had the legal right-of-way. Foster’s wife, Sandy, said on Dec. 23 that she has had no contact from law enforcement or the prosecutor’s office regarding the status of the investigation. “I haven’t talked to an investigator since the accident,” she said. She said the last contact she had from any authority was a sympathy card from NKF&R after the collision.

NO. 3: PORT EXPANSION MEASURE DEFEATED On Feb. 11, voters soundly defeated a measure by the Port of Poulsbo to expand its district boundaries to include Lemolo, Scandia and Virginia Point. Voters in those communities overwhelmingly opposed the measure. However, the measure narrowly lost within the Poulsbo city limits, and port officials hinted they may try another measure. Advocates say enlarging the district to the city limits would enable all Poulsbo residents to vote for port commissioners, would generate more tax revenue that could be used for economic development, environmental protection, and erosion controlw.

A lengthy investigation determined that the fire engine, which was stopped in the intersection, extended too far into the scooter rider’s lane. The investigator recommended a citation for “failure to keep right except when passing.” NKF&R Fire Chief Dan Smith said the firefighter chose to resign.

Believed missing: Funds related to gift cards, known as scrip, that are sold for fundraising and were kept in a safe in the PTA’s room at the school.

The mother called Alves, who in explaining what had happened, used the N-word again. Advised by the district to not use the word again in any circumstance, she did — in a call to to the family to apologize. “I did use that word, and that word is upsetting,” Alves said in an interview. “I thought in the context of what we were talking about, it was all right.” She said the N-word was never appropriate “no matter the period of time.” NO. 7: ARRESTS FOR SCHOOL THREATS On Sept. 9, a former Kingston High School
student was arrested for felony harassment and second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, after school authorities told the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Department that he had voiced threats to “shoot up the school.” Matthew Smiley was charged with “felony harassment for making threats to kill,” and served more than three months in county jail. A 16-year-old student was arrested and booked into juvenile detention late Oct. 28 for threatening to harm other students at North Kitsap High School. The threat came four days after the fatal shootings at Marysville-Pilchuck High School. Poulsbo Police Chief Alan Townsend said, the 16-year-old had the capability to carry out the threat.

Continued from page A8 marijuana businesses within city limits on June 11. Council members cited a range of reasons to ban the businesses — a notion that there would be no economic benefit to the city; lingering legal questions that could put the city at risk; and personal, moral reasons. To control the desirability of Poulsbo for such enterprises, the council restricted marijuana businesses to a small corner at the north end of the city 10 months earlier. Initiative 502, which was approved by Washington voters in November 2012, legalized the recreational use of marijuana. NO. 9: ROBINSON, WOLFE, COOK ELECTED On Nov. 4, voters chose new leadership on the County Commission and in the prosecuting attorney’s office, and chose successors to the retiring assessor, auditor and sheriff. Three of the winners were Republicans. Lawyer Tina Robinson defeated Russell Hauge in his bid for a sixth term as prosecuting attorney. She ran on a platform of changing management style and
priorities at the PA’s office. Former diplomat Ed Wolfe defeated Linda Streissguth in her bid for a full term on the County Commission. Wolfe ran on a platform of bringing balance to a commission that had been represented by democrats for 10 years. Mortgage banker Phil Cook was elected county assessor. He ran on a platform of bringing to the assessor’s office the viewpoint of someone who had been a customer of the office for several years.

Under the compact, state per-student funding now goes to the school through the Tribe. Chief Kitsap Academy teaches courses required by the state, but also teaches Suquamish history, culture and language. The academy’s enrollment increased to 78 students in grades 6-12 this school year.

Queen of Sheba towed from port to Bremerton By RICHARD D. OXLEY
roxley@northkitsapherald.com
POULSBO — The Queen of Sheba, a 105-foot wooden boat, was towed from the Port of Poulsbo’s marina to a Bremerton marina. The Department of Natural Resources took custody of the boat after it was repeatedly beached on the shores of Liberty Bay due to high winds in December. Natural Resources moored the boat at the Port of Poulsbo. The port gave permission for the Queen of Sheba to stay at its marina through Dec. 29. The Queen of Sheba was towed the Port of Bremerton Dec. 29. It arrived in Bremerton shortly before 5 p.m. The Department of Natural Resources took custody of the boat on Dec. 12, after it spent two days being blown north

and south in heavy winds in Liberty Bay. It came to rest on the muddy bottom at the north end of Liberty Bay for one day, and then was found laying on its port side on the shore of Lemolo the next. Natural Resources has custody of the Queen of Sheba until its owners meet certain conditions. “The owners have until Jan. 12 to address our
concerns with the boat, and have apparently told us they are working to do so,” said Joe Smillie with the Department of Natural Resources. The boat must be seaworthy, Smillie said. “And, especially, that it have an anchor sturdy enough to keep a boat that size in place,” he said. The owners will also be responsible for the costs

various agencies have incurred as a result of the beaching incidents. “The owner will be responsible for all costs,” Smillie said. “The work to recover it from the beach at Lemolo, the tow to Bremerton and moorage.” “We are working with the owner on a payment plan, though we do not have a total of the costs yet,” he said.
Peninsula Daily News
SHINE — One person was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center and another transported to Jefferson General after a collision near the west entrance to the Hood Canal Bridge the evening of Dec. 29. One of the vehicles involved, a 1990 Dodge minivan, was carrying 10 people, including eight children. The crash, in which both the van and a car were totaled, snarled Highway 104 — which carries traffic over the floating bridge — for 2.5 hours, backing up traffic for miles in both Jefferson and Kitsap counties, according to the Washington State Patrol. The State Patrol reported that the 22-year-old driver of a 1990 Subaru Legacy was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment of injuries. Troopers at the scene said the Subaru pulled onto Highway 104 from Paradise Bay Road as a westbound vehicle on the highway was
coming off the bridge and turning right onto the road. After the vehicle turned, the westbound minivan driven by a 40-year-old Port Ludlow man and the Subaru collided in the center of Highway 104, troopers reported. A passenger in the Subaru was injured and taken to Jefferson Healthcare hospital in Port Townsend, the State Patrol said. The driver of the minivan and nine passengers in the van ranging in age from 42 to 5 years were treated at the scene by paramedics. All were using seat restraints, as were the occupants of Subaru, troopers said. A preliminary investigation indicated that the driver of the Subaru failed to yield the right of way to the minivan, the State Patrol reported, adding that no drugs or alcohol were involved. A State Department of Transportation webcam stationed on the Hood Canal Bridge showed traffic backed up on the bridge onto the Kitsap County mainland from the time of the 4:30 p.m. collision until close to 7 p.m.

Continued from page A1 down effect. Wages are starting to rise. Now, that is news. Coupled with lower gas prices, families are feeling less pressure than they have in years. Instead of concentrating only on the necessities, they are talking about vacation travel for the first time in a long time. As I interact with various groups and individuals in our city, I see a definite change in attitudes. People are friendlier, more engaged in the community. Our downtown core is doing well. There are fewer foreclosures, and real estate sales are solid. We’re growing, folks.

Stern: “A lot of people have told me where to go, including my first wife, but that didn’t quite happen.” May 28 At an Economic Development Committee meeting, a Kitsap Public Utility District representative discusses the need for more Wi-Fi antennas in Poulsbo. Poulsbo Port Commissioner Jim Rutledge: “When is KPUD gonna expand up and over the hill? I’m willing to put a tower on my house.” Stern: “I’m willing to wear one.” June 11 The council’s Economic Development Committee discusses local marijuana regulations. Councilman David Musgrove: “I don’t want to sound dubious …” Stern interjects: “No pun intended!” July 1 At a meeting with Suquamish, Bainbridge Island and Poulsbo police departments, other chiefs compliment Poulsbo Police Chief Alan Townsend. Stern: “I appreciate the compliments of our new chief Al Townsend. I’d compliment him, but he’d want a raise, so I won’t.” Nov. 19 Police Chief Alan Townsend, during a council meeting, notes that Mayor Becky Erickson was voted No. 9 on the list of Western Washington’s best mayors in the KING 5 Best of Western Washington poll.

Now, I know some people don’t like that idea, but the reality is that any municipality that is not growing is in danger of dying. So growth is good. But not just any growth. As long as I am mayor, I will have one growth goal — to keep Poulsbo … well … Poulsbo. To retain the charm and character of our history, the sense of community that is Poulsbo. So, how about some specifics of what you might expect in 2015. Much of what I and the City Council are supporting deals with the infrastructure required to support growth, as is required by the state.

Viking Way. n The old city hall and police station sites will be redeveloped, a giant step toward continued revitalization of downtown Poulsbo. n Several improvement projects will begin, such as stormwater work on 3rd Avenue, sewer pump station work on 6th and 9th avenues, and construction of a stormwater decant facility and solid waste transfer station at the city’s public works site on north Viking Avenue. There will be more projects like that — nothing fancy or pretty to look at, but crucial to manage both a growing population and an aging infrastructure. n We have several new home developments in progress, and will see a few more.
n We will add two new parks (Morrow Manor and Vista Park), and continue restoring Fish Park. n And, of course, the city’s planning team will be working on the new Comprehensive Plan, which will include proposals for land use that support growth and economic health while retaining Poulsbo’s unique character. What else is on our horizon? We need to ensure the safety of our schools, improve the water quality of Liberty Bay, and reduce congestion on Highway 305. These are all big issues and will require our continued partnership with Kitsap County, the North Kitsap School District, Port of Poulsbo, the Suquamish Tribe, and the City of
Bainbridge Island to solve these regional concerns. I’m optimistic about our economic future, but continue to work toward increased employment that provides livable family wages. We will continue to seek new companies to join us in Poulsbo, while paying close attention to our existing firms. Recruitment of new principle employers is always a top priority to bring jobs and economic vibrancy to North Kitsap. Want more predictions? I have high hopes for a new Maritime Heritage Museum, creation of public art that reflects the quality of our community, and more community festivals — including a large bicycle ride during Viking Fest. Poulsbo is a fun-loving com-
munity that enjoys community recreation. Festivals, museums and public art demonstrate Poulsbo’s character as a remarkable small town. I’d like to see us put more effort into tree protection, into moving from storm ponds to created wetlands — creating green spaces that keep our community clean and healthy for our children’s children. Yes, I’m optimistic. Poulsbo is a wonderful place to live and work. I am confident that 2015 will be a year full of promise and opportunity. — Becky Erickson is mayor of Poulsbo.

Tizzano, WSBA # 22296 Attorneys for Administratrix Address for Mailing or Service: 19717 Front Street NE PO Box 400 Poulsbo, WA 98370 Date of first publication: 12/19/14 Date of last publication: 01/02/15 (NKH606164) CITY OF POULSBO PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Hearing Date: January 13, 2015 Time: This item is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM. Place: Council Chambers, Poulsbo City Hall, 200 NE Moe Street, Poulsbo, WA. To: Property owners, tax payers and occupants within 300 feet of application as listed on County Assessor’s records, interested agencies, and Parties of Record. Subject: Kitsap Transit Motor Vehicle Noise Variance for the Kitsap Transit Temporary Bus Service Location Administrative Conditional Use Permit and Temporary Use Permit Summary of the Proposed Motor Vehicle Noise Variance: Kitsap Transit is currently pro-
posing a temporary location for provision of bus service during construction of the North Base. Included in the application is a Noise Study. The study anticipates a 15 minute warm up and cycling of the handicapped ramps prior to a bus leaving the site. Busses will be staged on site to eliminate use of the backup alarm prior to leaving the site. In the study, noise levels are measured near the south and east property line. Noise measurements are 2-4 decibels over permitted noise levels at the property line locations. The Noise Study provides that the on-site noise is not anticipated to exceed the current ambient noise level in the area. Noise levels at or below ambient noise is a consideration when federal standards are applied to a transit proposal. Poulsbo Municipal Code, Title 16.16 Motor Vehicle Noise Limits, identifies a variance requested for more than 30 days, requires a public hearing before the Planning Commission. The vehicle noise variance must be in place prior to issuance of a determination under the Washington’s State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). Summary of the Proposed Application: Kitsap Transit is proposing to temporarily site bus service during construction of the North Base and Park & Ride construction. The bus service site is proposed at 19700, 19672, and 19630 Viking Avenue NW; previously the site was used by Poulsbo RV for recreational vehicle sales. Driver parking to support bus service is proposed at a vacant lot between 19745 and 19815 Viking Avenue. Transit determined that the minimum number of busses necessary to provide service from the site is 44. Busses will vary in size from standard 40 feet long to ACCESS service. ACCESS busses will park near and access the site from Liberty Road; larger busses will access the site from Viking Avenue. Parking onsite will be based on start up time of the busses; those which leave the temporary base during early morning hours will be parked closest to Viking Avenue. A noise study is included with the proposal. The structure near Liberty Road will be an office space for bus drivers and other staff working at the site. Minor modifications will be made to the structure prior to Transit occupying the site. Other structures onsite will not be used by transit. Transit security staff will visit the site on a regular basis. Construction type chain link fencing with slats will be placed along the perimeter of the site for security. Existing lighting on site will be used for security and is not planned for modification. A mobile fueling truck will be used to fuel busses on site. No outdoor fuel or other storage is proposed. Window washing will be done on site; all other bus washing will be done at the Charleston Base in Bremerton or off-site at another location. Bus maintenance and repair will be done off-site. Hours of operation will be similar to the North Base hours.

TIPS FROM THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION The American Lung Association provided five tips for smokers trying to quit for the new year. See this advice, and more, online at www.lung.org. 1. Start early. The earlier a smoker quits, the sooner they can reap the benefits such as a healthier body and more money saved from cigarette purchases. 2.

i-ho, hi-ho, it ’s off to work we go. A re you racing to get back to it? Or pulling the covers over your head? Either or both are possibilities given that the full moon arrives on a Sunday evening — 8:34 p.m. on Jan. 4 — as the festivities end and the world calls us to attendance. This moon embodies the restlessness of a teenager stuck between too many emotions (moon in Cancer) and too many duties (sun in Capricorn). Acting out is a no-go and playing hookey wins no rewards either. Winter is a season that demands Capricornian maturity to survive. As we cross
into the new year, the two-faced god Janus, who looks backwards and forward, demands we make hard adjustments. This moon cycle is about focused actions and security. How will we act so we are secure both emotionally and physically, and also on a personal and cultural level? Changes are needed, and we are at a crossroad where a new path must be chosen. Or another route, where wisdom blends with innovation? In the midst of this moon’s restlessness, can you settle down and ponder adult questions of real accomplishments and emotional satisfaction? W hat is your strategy for the new year? Winter’s long nights are designed for listening to the still, small voice of spirit directing our steps. If only we listen...
Horoscopes
For the Jan. 4 full moon to the Jan. 20 full moon.
Capricorn, what are you working so hard and ambitiously for? You begin reviewing your idealism and what exact dream you are pursuing. No rush, though, because this is a two-plus-year cycle. Clarity brings more precise planning behind the scenes, and those details form success later. Aquarius, energy gathers in your sector of self-hood so get out there and preen. What new groups will you delight in this year? A wide circle of far-seeing friends fan your winds of change. Be sure you are changing in the direction you want to go. Steady on! Cancer, balancing between others and yourself can drain, or inspire you to show your sensitivity. Close friends and family can give you courage to be seen by all of us! Rise to the occasion and vitality returns. You begin a prolonged meditation on which chores promote security and which can be tossed. Pisces, your new journey combines pragmatism and nebulousness

— all in you! Imagination works for you as well as nose-grinding does for others. When you combine the two, castles in the air take amazing form and work ceases to be a drudge. Meditation on one hand, and an action plan in the other, set you right. Scorpio, the winter season has you dreaming about the faces of abundance. Where do you feel fenced in? Skills, space, finances, physical impairments? Whatever it is, step-by-step actions can make progress in expanding your domain. You are enjoying your place in the world. Where do you want to go from here? Gemini, this month your study is the connection and resources of intimacy with others, not being dependent or independent, but inter-dependent. Trusting the right partner depends on playing your hunches. What do you feel in your gut? What vision do you two tread? You can not isolate yourself in endless networking. Deeper is better. Libra, your chart lies deep in the home and personal issues area.
You bounce as high into the world as your base is solid. Odd liaisons add spark and fun even as you remain cool and detached this winter season. Enjoy. The spring equinoxes lean heavily on the on-going lessons of relationships. Taurus, your fortune lies out in the world and prospers as if it has a life of its own. But, even growth needs management whether in a garden or a business. Get what you can in writing and then get busy. You know you love this prospering, busy-ness stuff! Virgo, your nervous system is high-strung and being played like a harp. Give yourself some TLC on the food and exercise front ... not too much or too little of either. Just ahead for you is a rebuilding of the family nest, positioning it as an optimal base for future expansion of mind and travel. Leo, plodding Saturn and exuberant Jupiter are in a lovely dance but undecided about whether a high-kicking can-can, or an earthy clog is needed. Optimism and pessimism are two sides of one coin and your job is to balance

the coin on its edge, or as the Buddhist say, seek the Middle Path. Aries, seeking a grounded experience of a broader way is your challenge. Make it expansive enough to be inclusive of each one’s individualism and one that puts each one to work building a whole for us all. Sounds like the hard work of democracy and brotherhood born anew. Small order ... but you have energy to forge this path. Sagittarius, your tendencies toward spontaneity, expansion and optimism are being honed and the next few years may feel like education by hard-knocks. These experiences teach you what you need to turn yourself into a teacher and visionary. Check out the TED talks on YouTube, that could be you!

to improve their lot in life.” “From rocket ships to funerals, you’re invited to be part of their adventures in a new and strange world,” she said.
Through Fisher’s vision, a group of rats engage in adventures from knitting to gardening, and decorating for Christmas; often running into their feathered friends. The rats even find themselves on a trip to the moon. Fisher chose rats as the main characters because, despite some rodent fans, rats are largely unfavorable with the public, she said. “My characters are rats instead of people with a

few guest appearances by owls and other furry critters,” she said. “Rats are somewhat unlovable animals which is why all of them are shown desperately trying (and often failing) to better themselves.” In the end, the adventures are of characters doing their best to be better, to achieve despite facing challenges. And in the mix is Fisher’s humorous take on the awkward moments people can find themselves in. “I think one of the greatest things about life is how surreal and awkward it can be,” Fisher said. “All my illustrations capture a key moment of action within a larger adventure. They show that instant of panic, exhilaration, and awkwardness that is all too familiar. “
Great Northwest Wine reviews delicious white wines from the 15th Platinum Judging NW WINES By ANDY PERDUE and ERIC DEGERMAN
W
e recently reviewed some of the top red wines from the 15th annual Platinum Judging, conducted by Wine Press Northwest magazine. This week, we take a look at some of the top white and dessert wines. The Platinum Judging celebrates the best of the best in the Pacific Northwest. Only wines that win gold medals at any of about 40 competitions around the world are eligible for the Platinum Judging. This year’s competition drew more than 600 wines from Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and Idaho. For complete results, go to www.winepressnw.com. Kiona Vineyards & Winery 2012 Chenin Blanc Ice Wine, Red Mountain, $25: The Williams family pioneered grape growing and winemaking on Red Mountain and has been making this luscious dessert wine for years. While this ice wine isn’t quite as rich and voluptuous as those we see from British Columbia, it does retain beautifully natural acidity and bright varietal flavors. This offers hints of honey, pear, orange blossom, peach and toasted pine nuts. (8.2 percent alc.) Jones of Washington 2013 Pinot Gris, Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley, $13: Young Victor Palencia has a real touch with the grapes from the relatively cool Ancient Lakes region of Washington, and this Pinot Gris is simply stunning. It opens with gorgeous aromas of pear, lime and cotton candy, followed by flavors of tropical fruit, honeydew melon and citrus. (13.8 percent alc.) Pacific Rim Winemakers 2013 Twin Vineyards Gewürztraminer, Yakima Valley, $14: Sadly, we don’t see as many Gewürztraminers from Washington as we used to. But happily, we still can find examples such as this from Pacific Rim near Red Mountain. This is a classic Gewürz,

said. Morello has also found strength in Facebook groups for quitters. Morello will enter 2015 with nearly two months behind her, smoke free. “I felt like I had been sitting, watching my life go by and then I’ve been released to finally go live it,” Morello said. “I felt like I was walking around with a dirty, smelly blanket wrapped around me, making me unhealthy and sucking my energy,

dragging me down, taking all the fun out of playing. Then when I decided to quit, it was a feeling of slowly becoming cleaner, and better, bit by bit, day by day. Then I no longer was wrapped in something dirty, I was fresh and clean.” “I could breath deep, and run after my daughter,” she said. “We could play and have fun. I had more time to care for my home and play with my family.”

Upland Estates Winery 2010 Ampeli Ice Muscat of Alexandria, Snipes Mountain, $36: Winemaker Robert Smasne used grapes from vines planted in 1917 to craft this stunning dessert wine. Aromas and flavors of honeysuckle, jasmine, orange and tropical fruit intermingle behind bright acidity. (10.7 percent alc.) San Juan Vineyards 2013 Estate Siegerrebe, Puget Sound, $20: This stunning wine by Chris Primus in Friday Harbor, Wash., earned a remarkable five unanimous double gold medals from five sets of judges this year. Aromas of Asian pear, lychee and clove lead to flavors of pear, apple and pineapple. (12 percent alc.) Alexandria Nicole Cellars 2013 Destiny Ridge Vineyard Shepherds Mark, Horse Heaven Hills, $24: Owner/winemaker Jarrod Boyle has been crafting this Rhône-style white for years. It leads with Roussanne and includes Marsanne and Viognier. The creamy mouth feel is loaded with notes of Asian pear, apple and mango. (13.4 percent alc.) Northwest Cellars 2013 Sonatina, Columbia Valley, $19: This blend of Roussanne and Viognier is wildly aromatic on the nose and rich on the palate, with notes of pear, white peach, pine-
apple and papaya. (13.5 percent alc.) Rio Vista Wines 2013 Antoine Creek Vineyards Viognier, Columbia Valley, $27: Rio Vista is along the Columbia River north of Lake Chelan on Highway 97, and owner/winemaker John Little is crafting gorgeous wines. This offers aromas and flavors of pear, orange and clove, all backed with impressive acidity and a lengthy finish. (12.7 percent alc.) Swiftwater Cellars 2013 No. 9 Riesling, Columbia Valley, $18: California transplant Linda Trotta recently left this showpiece winery near the Cascade Mountains town of Cle Elum, but not before crafting this delicious Riesling from Olsen Brothers near Prosser. It is a pleasurable wine with aromas and flavors of tropical fruit, bright apple and persistent minerality. (12.5 percent alc.) Smasne Cellars 2013 Otis Vineyard Pinot Gris, Yakima Valley, $12: Winemaker Robert Smasne grew up next to these grapes and now gets to work with them professionally.

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. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx

LOCAL BREWS, NEWS AND MORE
12/23/14 11:01 AM
itsap’s Silver Cit y Brewer y is greeting the post-w inter ale sea son w ith a new spring brew apt to give enthusiasts a chill. “It’s super, super drinkable,” said Kurt Larson with Silver City Brewery. “I burst when I talk about this beer, because it’s one of my favorites,” he said. The Cold One is the newest brew from Kitsap’s Silver City Brewery. The beer has been available in 22 ounce bottles and on tap at the brewery for the past month, but it begins stocking local store’s shelves this January. Silver City began canning the beer on Dec. 30. The Cold One is notable for a few reasons. Silver City’s last new brew was last spring’s West Sound IPA. The Cold One replaces that. The Cold One is the latest creation from the Kitsap brewery, instead of re-releasing known recipes. It’s a pilsner-style beer; a style commonly found throughout America, but as Larson points out, this is something quite unique.
“The Cold One is more of an international style pilsner,” he said. “It uses Czech ingredients, and it’s a German presentation, and because we have more aggressive hops in it, that has a Northwest appeal.” Larson said a lot of people think of domestic beers such as Coors and Budweiser when mentioning pilsners, yet, in Larson’s opinion, customers want something different. The Cold One answers that desire, he said. “This is one of the best pilsners you will find,” he said. “If I have a beer that I am going to choose to drink, and I have a line up, I’m going to drink this all day long. It’s easy to drink.” The Cold One is also notable because of its process. Larson said that “time is money” in craft brewing. “If you have beer sitting in tanks because it takes weeks to refine, you aren’t
making as much beer and money,” he said. But the Cold One needs time. It has to sit and refine to come out just right; a six to eight week process depending on the batch. “From the respect of the beer process, it’s one of the most difficult styles for any brewery to make,” Larson said. “You can’t hide any mistake in it. In regard to a hoppy IPA or an ale, you can have a lot of flavor, so if something is not quite right it can be covered up by other flavors.” “With pilsner, it has to be perfect from ingredients to the process,” he said. “If not, you get some flaws in the beer that shows up and changes the experience.” The ingredients are important Larson said. “We use pilsner malt all the way through, it’s very pristine and crisp,” he said. “We use Czech-style hops which give it a nice floral, like daisies and daffodils, not that northwest style hops.” “And it’s a pilsner lager yeast that marries that wonderful balance of malt and hops,” he said. “It give us a very pristine bright beer.” Finally, the Cold One is also notable because it is the first beer that the brewery is releasing that features its new logo. The new logo consists of an “S” and “C” combination set against a silver background.
“It’s time for a new look,” Larson said. “It’s an initiative, refreshing look.”
