“The whole house was Engulfed in flames” The neighbors upstairs had a history of noise. One time, their boy tried to break open a frozen bottle of water by slamming it on the floor again and again until she went up there and complained. So when the banging started, Sarah Parker, 22, didn’t think much of it. She was watching TV with her 2-year-old nephew, Devin, at her sister’s duplex apartment on Houston Street in Anderson Cove. It was two days before Christmas. “They were being really loud and so I was like ‘That’s weird. I wonder why they’re being so loud?’” Parker
said. “Even Devin was like, ‘I wish they’d stop.’” The lights began to flicker and then she heard the neighbors’ smoke detector sound. It stopped after a few minutes. “So it was going off and then I heard it shut off and so I’m like, ‘Oh, they got it taken care of,’” Parker said. “But in reality, it probably just melted.” About 10 minutes after the banging started, someone came to her door. “Not just knocking, like knocking worse than a cop, like punching the door,” Parker said. She opened the door and standing before her was a man she’d never met. He was tall and thin with light blonde hair; he looked to be in his 30s, Parker said. “He just screamed at me that ‘You need to get out of the house, it’s on fire,’” Parker said. She went back into the house a bit frazzled, thinking it was probably just a small fire and she needed to leave as a precaution. Parker grabbed Devin and the remains of her nephew, Hendrix, who died in 2011 at 3 months old, and then left. “As I was walking up the stairs, the whole house was engulfed in flames, like the whole house was on fire,” Parker said. “I was just sitting there like ‘Why didn’t somebody come and get me like 10 minutes ago?’”

Dave Dally, left, of Shelton, shows his 1955 Chevrolet Sport Coupe to Larry Cleeton and Charlie Holman during the Cool Car Cruise in Bremerton on Jan. 1. The paint color was “violet pearl,” Dally said. He said the car originally came with a two-speed automatic transmission, but it now had an upgraded five-speed Tremec manual transmission as well as an upgraded engine. More than a couple hundred classic cars were on display during the event, which was held in the parking lot of Shari’s Restaurant. The neighbors upstairs didn’t think anyone was home, Parker said. It turns out, one of the fire was started by pot of oil cooking on the stove, according to officials. “It was terrifying” Shasta Hartford (Parker’s sister and Devin’s mother) was at a holiday party at the Baymont Inn & Suites on Kitsap Way when the fire started. She was with her boyfriend, Donovan Simms, and her roommates Jordyn
Henning and Casey Smith, Sr. Henning has a 7-month-old daughter who was with Henning’s mother and grandmother at the time. Hartford, 23, and Henning, 22, work at the Baymont as housekeepers. They’d been gone maybe 45 minutes when Simms, 23, received a call from a hysterical Parker. “It was generally disbelief,” Simms said. “I stayed on the phone with her I’m pretty sure until we got in the car.” Parker called Simms because he was the first person in her call logs.
Hartford is happy she did. “I’m glad she called Donovan instead of me because I freak out too, Donovan doesn’t freak out, he stays pretty calm,” Hartford said. “She did really good. She got Devin out and she got my angel son’s ashes out. I’m eternally grateful for that.” It was raining that night and in her rush to flee the house, Parker forgot shoes for Devin. She held him in her arms in the rain until some people SEE FIRE, A9
Construction gear valued at $15,000 stolen from Kitsap Salvation Army BY PETER O’CAIN POCAIN@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
Police are looking for three people in connection to the burglary of a construction site at Salvation Army on Sixth Street Dec. 29 around 1 a.m. TJC Contracting released video of the theft taken from Salvation Army security cameras. Two people slipped into the construction area through a gap between a chain link fence and the building, while a third waited nearby in a vehicle. They made off with about $10,000-
$15,000 in equipment, said Tim Cummings, owner of TJC Contracting, who’s adding an extension to the building. The entire operation took about six minutes. “They definitely knew what they were doing,” Cummings said. He estimates seven to nine nail guns, two large gauge nail guns, a chainsaw and a $1,300 Hilti drill, among others were stolen. Cummings requires his employees to provide their own nail gun and saw, so much of the stolen equipment belonged to individuals, not TJC.
Nail guns cost about $240-$300, Cummings said. The equipment belonged to TJC Contracting and seven of its employees, Cummings said. Despite the loss of equipment, work hasn’t slowed down. “We’re actually really fortunate to have a lot of contractors that we’re friends with to loan me stuff if I need them,” Cummings said. For TJC employee Jerry Cline, it was the beginning of a rough end to 2014. On New Year’s Eve, someone stole his car. Bremerton Police have no leads to date.

PORT ORCHARD INDEPENDENT EDITOR
An investigation is now underway into the death a male inmate in the Kitsap County Jail, according to the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office. KCSO reported that corrections officers found the inmate in his cell about 7:10 a.m. Jan. 2 and was pronounced dead at the scene by South Kitsap Fire and Rescue emergency medical personal. The Kitsap County Coroner’s Office identified the man as Timothy Lawrence Prince, 35, from Central Kitsap. Prince was being detained in a pre-trial status. He had been arrested and booked into jail on Sept. 22, for escape from community custody by Washington State Department of Corrections, KCSO reported. A probable cause charge of harassment was filed at the time of his booking for an earlier investigation conducted by Bremerton police. An additional charge of custodial assault was filed Dec. 16 after Prince resisted a change in custody movement within the jail and assaulted a corrections supervisor. Total bail for all charges was $200,000. KCSO reported initial indications are that Prince’s death is an apparent suicide. Since this incident occurred while the inmate was in the custody of KCSO, the investigation is being conducted by an outside agency — Port Orchard Police Department — per standard operating procedure. Kitsap Critical Incident Response Team is assisting in the investigation. The release of further details concerning this inquiry is under the purview of Port Orchard police. Following an autopsy by the county’s forensic pathologist, the coroner will issue a determination as to cause and manner of death.
Museum volunteers needed Kitsap County Historical Society and Museum will host a volunteer information meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 13 at 280 Fourth St. The meeting is an introduction to “Who we are” and “What we do,” volunteer opportunities available and a tour of museum. Anticipate about an hour long. Contact Tina Ricketts, volunteer coordinator at 360-813-2464 or email tina.ricketts@yahoo.com for more information.

New board trustee appointed
Terri McKenzie of Silverdale has joined the Kitsap Regional Library Board of Trustees, replacing Teresa McDermott, who left the board at the end of 2014 after 10 years of service. McKenzie’s appointment was approved by Kitsap County Commissioners. Her first meeting will be Jan. 27. “I am excited to be able to help KRL be a strong, efficient, accessible library system for all of Kitsap,” she said. “I feel that a good book can take you places, fire your imagination, inspire you and help you learn to stand in other’s shoes.” McKenzie is a Certified Public Accountant and a principal in the Silverdale accounting firm Huddleston McKenzie Associates. She moved to Bremerton at age 11, graduated from Olympic High School and has worked as a CPA in Silverdale for more than 20 years. She has a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Puget Sound and a master’s degree in taxation from Old Dominion University. She
and her husband have two children, who both graduated from Central Kitsap High School and are now in college. “Having lived here for most of my life and owned a small business in Silverdale for many years, I understand what a fantastic place Kitsap is,” she said. “The public library system is a benefit to us all with its many free resources. I hope to help make it even better.” McKenzie has worked over the past two years with a group of Central Kitsap residents to advocate for a new library in Silverdale. “Terri has already been an advocate for a new Silverdale Library,” said Library Director Jill Jean. “We are fortunate to have someone with Terri’s financial background on the Board of Trustees.” Jean also expressed thanks for McDermott’s 10 years of service. McDermott had completed two terms on the Board, which is the term limit for trustees. “We have appreciated the wisdom she has shared over the last 10 years and the connection she has brought to us with her position at Olympic College,” Jean said.
Chihuly Drawings: Exhibition opens March 1
The Museum of Glass in Tacoma will present “Chihuly Drawings,” a new exhibition, organized across mediums— graphite, charcoal, and acrylic— will show work that directly represents the energy behind Dale Chihuly’s artistic process. Chihuly describes this energy as “spontaneous, fast, immediate,” and this 35-year survey of more than 180 drawings conveys immediacy as never seen before. The excitement of Chihuly’s two-dimensional work is in its unpredictability and organic expressiveness—the same elements that distinguish the artist’s signature work in glass. “We are thrilled to be the premiere venue for Chihuly Drawings,” said Susan Warner, executive director of Museum of Glass. “As Chihuly is a co-founder of the Museum, it is always wonderful to have the opportunity to have his work on view. Chihuly Drawings is a natural part of the Museum’s goal to explain the story of the Studio Glass movement as a part of contemporary art. We know visitors will be amazed by the work on display.”
Regarded in the art world as someone who has transcended the craft medium, the drawings show Chihuly’s evolution and range as an artist. Guest Curator Barry Rosen worked extensively with Chihuly to select the pieces for this exhibition. An exhibition catalog featuring essays by Mathew Kangas and Nathan Kernan will also be available for purchase at the Museum Store. Chihuly Drawings will be accompanied by an audio tour accessible to visitors with smartphones through the STQRY app, as well as docent-led tours of the exhibition and the Chihuly artwork in the Tacoma Museum District including the Chihuly Bridge of Glass.

The U.S. Navy invites the public to attend public meetings to learn more about the Supplement to the Northwest Training and Testing (NWTT) Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/OEIS). The Navy prepared the supplement to evaluate the potential environmental effects of additional military readiness training activities resulted from recently updated training requirements. Four open-house meetings will be held to inform the public about the Navy’s findings in the supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS, to answer questions, and to solicit public comments on the supplement. Each public meeting will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Comments will be accepted throughout each meeting. The public meeting in Kitsap County will be Monday, Jan. 12 at the Poulsbo Fire Station Conference Room, 911 NE Liberty Road in Poulsbo. The Navy also is seeking public input on the accuracy and adequacy of the Supplement to the Draft EIS/OEIS. The supplement is available for public review online at www.

Designate a coordinator The Queen of Sheba, a disabled 105-foot wooden boat built in 1943, is now in the possession of the state Department of Natural Resources and moored at the Port of Bremerton. We applaud the efforts of the several agencies that, working through the state’s Derelict Vessel Removal Program, removed a hazard and the risks it posed to our fragile marine environment. The state’s Derelict Vessel Removal Program law (RCW Chapter 79.100) is a good law and it takes measures to protect the marine environment as well as the rights of boat owners. But there are some holes in local derelict-vessel response that need to be plugged. DNR should designate a Derelict Vessel Removal Program coordinator for the area, within the city or port district, so derelict vessel removal can be coordinated more immediately. On Day 1, the Poulsbo Police Department should have towed the vessel to the Port of Poulsbo Marina, with DNR then alerted that the port had possession of a derelict vessel. As it stood, local agencies didn’t act as fast as they could have because they were waiting to hear from DNR. DNR’s Derelict Vessel Removal Program coordinator was not immediately available, and Poulsbo Mayor Becky Erickson credits the work of state Rep. Drew Hansen’s office in connecting local authorities with the right people at the state agency. But by the time the boat was moored at the Port of Poulsbo Marina, several days has passed. The Queen of Sheba was without rudder or power when heavy winds broke it free from its anchorage in Liberty Bay Dec. 9. The boat drifted, colliding with a sailboat and then grounding at the north end of Liberty Bay, not far from where Dogfish Creek meets the bay. Residents reported seeing the boat grounded earlier at Lemolo. Ultimately, a private contractor towed the boat to the Port of Poulsbo Marina, where it remained in port possession until the state Department of Natural Resources took custody of the boat and towed it to Bremerton. The owners must make the boat seaworthy and pay the costs associated with recovering, towing and mooring the vessel. If they don’t do so by Jan. 12, the boat could be scrapped. Clearly, a grounded boat that is without anchor, power or rudder poses “a reasonably imminent threat” and should be taken possession of immediately. But because of jurisdictional issues, the Queen of Sheba languished at the head of the bay for two days, and then at Lemolo for another day. It beached on two occasions and collided with a sailboat. Clearly, this could have gotten worse, and fast. Designating a local derelict vessel program coordinator would take care of that.

Easing into the new year with hope For some of us, 2014 was not a great year. Not the worst by far but not the best either. I am happy to close the door on it and focus on easing into 2015 instead. 2015 is going to be an interesting year for Bremerton. A year filled with opportunity and promise if those involved are courageous and bold enough to take it on. On the city side there will be the coming city council elections for three of the districts. This election will be the first since the entire council was up for election after the voter approved reduction from nine districts to seven districts. Going forward, the odd and even number positions will begin to rotate through their new cycles. 2015 is the year that the bulk of the work on the amendment/ update to the City of Bremerton Comprehensive Plan will be completed. The city comprehensive plan is the blueprint for strategy and growth within our community. Some of the harsh restrictions on drive-thru lanes contained within the comp plan were recently eased in certain areas such as the East Bremerton corridor. But so many more changes are needed so that for profit businesses looking to locate here are not driven away by the continuation of a strangled, dysfunctional and prejudiced process.
Everything Bremerton
Colleen Smidt For more information on the comprehensive plan amendment process and opportunities for participation from the public, go to the city website at www.ci.bremerton. wa.us/display.php?id=843. In 2015, there are some significant decisions to be made by the Bremerton School District. Bremerton schools have been a bright spot of success for our community. With increased organizational success comes interest, attention and increasing student enrollment. The Bremerton School District, like many others in the state, has had to navigate the failures of educational funding from the legislature; the push and pull of the McCleary decision as it worked its way through the court systems and now the passage of the voter approve Initiative 1351 Class Size Reduction Initiative.
Additional meetings and study sessions will be held by the school board in the coming year as a plan of compliance to additional challenges, unknowns and changes works itself out. In a nutshell, 2015 is setting up to be the year of opportunity for citizen involvement and participation at a number of levels. As stakeholders keeping up with the issues that face our community is more important now than ever before. Take the time to start reading through the local publications that are available like the Bremerton Patriot. Also, take advantage of social media. A host of community and neighborhood pages have established themselves over the past couple of years. Find some that apply to you and join in information sharing and the larger community conversation. Let’s make this new year one of increased knowledge and participation.

Bills await lawmakers when session begins Jan. 12 With the start of another year comes the promise of another session of the state Legislature and the prospect — no, make that a guarantee — of more laws. A lot more laws. Remember 2014 and seemingly nothing but irreconcilable political differences between the Democratrun House and Republicancontrolled Senate? The two chambers managed to agree on 229 bills to send to Gov. Jay Inslee. And remember how Inslee proclaimed it would be a “hold steady” year? He signed 225 of those bills into law. Already, nearly 100 pieces of legislation are drafted and in the queue for consideration when the 2015 session gets started on Jan. 12. Here’s a sample of what
may engage, and distract, lawmakers this year. Schools rule: Republicans are trying again to set aside money for elementary and

ing the state constitution to require a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to raise taxes. It was a law but the state Supreme Court tossed it out. Inserting it in the constitution might do the trick, but that’s unlikely to happen this year. Abortion rights: The Senate Democratic Caucus is united behind a bill to require coverage for abortion services in employer-provided health plans. Senate Bill 5026, with its 75-word title, is an upgraded version of the Reproductive Parity Act that’s failed before. Prime-time for pot’s cousin: With a legal marijuana industry in place, there’s a bipartisan push to do the same for hemp. Under SB 5012, Washington State University would study the

He earned a Combat Infantryman Badge, Bronze Star Medal, European Theater Ribbon, Central Europe Campaign Ribbon with Bronze Service Star and a Purple Heart.

He competed in rodeos, riding bulls and bucking broncs, then became a cattle rancher and logger. He was a mechanic who could fix anything and operate heavy equipment of all kinds. His wife, Margaret Avery Bruemmer, sisters Violet Fischer and Betty Waltenburg and brother Don Bruemmer preceded him in death. He is survived by his children, Peggy Stutzke, Rodney Bruemmer, Perry Bruemmer and Henry Bruemmer IV, 12 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. His sense of humor and amazing story-telling ability gathered friends daily for coffee at his home in Crosby. His family was very important to him and comforted him during his last days. He was generous, hard working, humorous and much loved by all who knew him. A Celebration of Life will be at 1 p.m. Jan. 24 at the Crosby Community Hall.

It reported on the boldness and sound judgment of Coucilwoman Leslie Daugs when she disagreed with the decision to skip soil testing in the project, thereby informing residents how Bremerton handles its public works projects. Soil testing is an indispensable component of any major earthwork project such as roadways. Skipping it as was done in Pacific Avenue inevitably results in unforeseen cost overrun. Discovering poor soil conditions only during construction, which could have been avoided only by testing, is unacceptable to sound engineering management practice. It is only by testing and analysis that the

Kitchen fire kills dog; causes extensive damage to home BY CHRIS TUCKER CTUCKER@CENTRALKITSAPREPORTER.COM
Central Kitsap firefighters began the new year by extinguishing a fire that caused major damage to a single story Tracyton home at 1:30 p.m. on Jan. 1. According to the Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue, the owner was not home
at the time of the fire, but one of two dogs inside the residence died during the blaze. The home is located on the 6000 block of Silver Beach Drive NW. There was extensive fire damage to both the kitchen and attic with significant smoke damage throughout the entire structure. The loss was estimated to
be $125,000. The cause of the fire is under investigation. A total of 32 fire personnel and 17 vehicles from Bremerton, Puget Sound Federal Fire and the Poulsbo Fire Department worked to fight the fire. Other scanner news: Two people were injured in a head-on collision on Kitsap Way on New Year’s
Eve. A woman driving a minivan swerved into the wrong lane and collided with another vehicle, said Steven Strachan, Bremerton Police chief. Both drivers were taken to Tacoma General Hospital, said Russ Winger, state patrol spokesman. They were reported to be in satisfactory condition this week.

Local writer uses Bigfoot to teach family values for his book and said he paid close attention to making a Bigfoot creature that wouldn’t scare children. “They had to be like kids — cute and cuddly,” he said. “Someone the kids would identify with.” He has about 100 sketches of his creatures that he hopes to soon put in a coloring books for kids. His second book about the Bigfoot family is written and he’s just waiting to see how the first one does before releasing it. In the second book, Rocc, WiiLo and LiLee venture outside of their valley to learn how to make trails that
a human, he said. “And that was only when she was very young,” he said. “Bigfoots have very keen eyesight and sense of smell. They know how to keep from being seen.” In the book, Bigfoot creatures also can make themselves invisible, a talent they learn from their elders. As for how his family of Bigfoots got their names, that’s simple. “I named them for things that are in their environment,” he said. Rocc is really rock, Wiilo is after a willow tree, and Lilee is named for the flower, lily. And of
course, the Emerald Forest is named for Seattle, which is the Emerald City. Dagsaan’s book is available online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. He is hoping to have it in local bookstores as well. And, it was just recently that he share the book with his grandchildren Grayson, 10, Ira, 9, and Madrana, 6. “They knew the story because I’d told it to them,” he said. “But they were really excited to see it as a book and know we were going to share it with other children.”

Bill Dagsaan has written a children’s book that teaches family values using Bigfoot-like characters. The book is based on stories he had told to his grandchildren. BY LESLIE KELLY LKELLY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
Bill Dagsaan never started out to be a children’s author. But through sharing stories about a family of extraordinary creatures living in the Olympic Mountains with his grandchildren, that’s what he’s become. Dagsaan, a Bremerton resident for his entire life, has just published his first book titled, “Secrets in the Emerald Forest.” “From the time my grandkids were little, I had these stories in my head,” he said. “I would share them with my grandchildren and they really seemed to enjoy them. “So, one day, I thought, ‘Why not share them with other kids and families, too?’” His book takes place in the Pacific Northwest, he said, because the area is known for Bigfoot sightings. “I wanted to place my sto-
ries where it would be possible, even though the stories are fiction,” he said. “That way it leaves it up to the kid’s imaginations to decide if Bigfoots really exist.” Throughout his story, he mentions places that actually are real, such as Cushman Lake, Upper and Lower Lena, Lillywamp and Potlatch. Even the river named Hamma Hamma. In his younger years, Dagsaan was a mountain hiker and loved to camp, and many of these places are where he camped and hiked. The book follows a family, two Bigfoot babies who are called Youngers, named WiiLo and LiLee. “They are not only Youngers, but they are twins which makes them even more special,” he said. Along with their older brother, Rocc, they have adventures in the valleys and near the rivers that teach
them lessons like taking care of each other, how to respect their elders and how to share. “It’s about sharing and making friends and just getting long,” he said. “Lessons any child can use.” As a concerned environmentalist, Dagsaan uses the stories to teach about respecting the environment and keeping it clean. Dagsaan never thought he’d be a writer. He spent 31 years working for the City of Bremerton. He retired in 2007 as superintendent of the Bremerton Housing Authority. He attended Olympic College and studied art and graphic arts. Once he retired, he had time on his hands and his creative side came out, he said. “It’s a way for me to relax — writing and drawing,” he said. “I just let my creative juices flow.” He drew the illustrations

The Bremerton School District is growing. In the past year, 400 new students have enrolled in the district, said Aaron Leavell, district superintendent. The additions have stretched many classrooms beyond capacity. Thirty-five classrooms are over-capacity districtwide.

New recycling program begins for fluorescents Free collection sites around state keep toxic mercury from landfills Staff Report Washington residents can now recycle fluorescent lights and other mercury-containing lights for free at 130 sites throughout the state, with more being added in the months ahead. LightRecycle Washington collection sites will take traditional fluorescent tubes (including straight, curved and circular tubes), the twisty compact fluorescent lights and high-intensity discharge lights, which are commonly used in outdoor lighting fixtures. The program does not accept lighting fixtures or ballasts. Both individuals and businesses can drop off lights for recycling, although there is a limit of 10 lights per day. Visit www. lightrecyclewa.org to find a collection site near you. Area sites are located
in Silverdale, Belfair and Poulsbo. “Fluorescent lights are long-lasting and energy efficient, but they contain small amounts of toxic mercury which needs to be recycled or properly disposed of,” said Laurie Davies, manager of Ecology’s Waste 2 Resources program. “With the launch of LightRecycle Washington, we’re making it easier to comply with the law and protect the environment.” Since 2010, it has been illegal in Washington to dispose of mercury-containing lights in the regular garbage. This new program, funded by a 25-cent environmental handling charge on each new mercury-containing light sold at retail, makes it simple to recycle old lights. EcoLights Northwest, located in Seattle, is the recycling company that will process the lights collected by LightRecycle Washington. After mercury-containing lights are collected, EcoLights breaks them down and then recyclable components — including mercury — are refined and reused.
Recycling centers in Silverdale, Poulsbo and Belfair will accept your old fluorescent light bulbs. “We started recycling lights back in 1996,” said Craig Lorch, co-owner of EcoLights. “But until now, many residents and small businesses have had a difficult time finding a convenient and inexpensive way to recycle fluorescent lights. This program will make it easy to recycle mer-
cury-containing lights anywhere in Washington state.” LightRecycle Washington is run by the nonprofit PCA Product Stewardship Inc., working with retailers, lighting manufacturers, municipal waste facilities and Ecology. Area collection sites include:

Shoreline program for Kitsap County approved Staff report OLYMPIA — The Washington Department of Ecology has approved Kitsap County’s updated shoreline master program which will result in significant improvements in the protection, use, development and restoration of over 290 miles of lake, stream and marine shore-
lines throughout the county. “The county’s staff and commissioners are to be commended for an outstanding public process and final product,” said Erik Stockdale, Ecology’s regional shorelines program supervisor. “Kitsap County engaged a variety of stakeholders in developing a program that helps
protect the economic and environmental health of local shorelines. By working together, the community is protecting treasured shoreline resources for themselves and future generations.” “Because our jurisdiction is located on a peninsula, Kitsap County’s shorelines play a vital role in enhancing the quality of
life for our citizens,” said Charlotte Garrido, chair of the Board of County Commissioners. “The updated shoreline master program is the result of a productive partnership between our citizens, shoreline property owners, local tribes and state agencies, and we are confident the results show that. We are especially proud of the work our Citizen Task Force did in developing a program that accounts for variability across the
county’s shorelines while also striving to protect our natural resources.” The county’s updated shoreline program: • Integrates shoreline regulations with current growth managemen planning, zoning, floodplain management and critical areas ordinances. • Establishes buffers that protect existing shoreline functions and provide some flexibility to accommodate individual property circumstances.

FIRE CONTINUED FROM A1
from down the street took them in. They had been victims of a house fire, too, Parker said. The good Samaritans declined to comment for this story. The drive from the Baymont to Anderson Cove took about five minutes. Firefighters closed the street, so they parked a couple blocks away on Rainier Street. “It was terrifying,” Hartford said. “All I wanted to do was get to him to make sure (Devin) was alright … and he was just sittin’ there eating chicken nuggets, happy as can be.” Community support Donations from the community are lifting the two families from the ashes.
WWW.BREMERTONPATRIOT.COM
Nearly $800 has been raised between gofundme. com accounts for Shasta and Jordyn. Simms’ mother’s church in Louisiana is raising money and Devin’s father gave Shasta $600 and the Red Cross paid for them to stay at the Baymont until last Friday, Simms said. The Baymont offered to let them stay until they got back on their feet, but Hartford said she’s staying with her sister now. Henning and Smith, 36, are staying with Henning’s parents while they wait to hear back from an application they put in for a house. “Casey, my daughter and I wouldn’t have clothes on our backs if it weren’t for the help we’ve received,” Henning said via text message. “And now when we get into a place she will have toys to play with as well. Everyone has been extremely generous.”

Also, an anonymous donor left a $100 check in a card at the front desk of the Baymont, Hartford said. “All it said was ‘I was a fire victim too.’ And when I saw that it brought me to tears,” Hartford said. “People have been so great.” All was not lost The apartment was ruined by smoke and water used to put out the fire, and with it most of their belongings. “You can always restart … It’s possible,” Simms said. “The human spirit is so elastic, you know, there’s so much pliability. So I think that everything is really gonna be good.” Between the sudden death of her infant son three years ago and the loss of her home, Hartford has experienced a great deal of tragedy in a short period. But because of Devin, she doesn’t have a choice but to move forward, she said.

Burnt out remains of an upper apartment where the fire began Dec. 23 on Houston Street in Bremerton. The fire was accidental caused by cooking oil that caught fire on the stove. “I don’t have any option. I’ve got a 2-year-old that I need to provide for,” Hartford said. “He’s my world. And whatever I can do for him, I will.” Inside the soaked apartment were Hartford’s Christmas presents for Devin. She’d
spent months collecting them. Now it appeared they’d been lost. As she was leaving to return to the Baymont, a firefighter approached her. He said they put the presents on top of furniture and then covered them
with plastic to protect from water damage. “I was crying and I went and I gave him a hug and he was like ‘Oh, no I’m all wet,’” Hartford said, smiling. “Like ‘Whatever. I don’t care — thank you.’”

Bacteria concerns council Water re-test showed no problem with water supply BY CHRIS TUCKER CTUCKER@CENTRALKITSAPREPORTER.COM
A trace of bacteria detected in a Silverdale Water District line led Central Kitsap Community Council members to ask a district manager some questions about the area’s water quality. Council member Jerry VanFossen asked Morgan Johnson, general manager of the district, about a November letter that the district sent out regarding coliform bacteria that was briefly detected in the water system in October. “Maybe a year or so ago we heard Silverdale water had the best water in the world, so I was kind of concerned about this (recent letter)” VanFossen said.
Johnson said that the district sampled water quality 24 times per month at various locations. The samples are sent to a lab for testing. If a test comes back positive, they take further samples at that location. But in the October case, a second test showed no bacteria in the system. Johnson wasn’t sure what caused the positive test for coliform bacteria but said the notice was sent out to customers per regulations. He said that the sample could have been contaminated as it was drawn from the water lines, causing a false positive. “The lab will notify us that there’s a presence (of bacteria) there but in the retakes that we’ve retaken there is no presence,
and that’s what occurred at this one,” Johnson said. If there was a problem the water lines would be immediately flushed out and chlorinated. The district regularly tests for bacteria and for volatile and synthetic organic chemicals such as paint, pesticide and fuel. Fellow council member Tex Lewis said the minor issue needed to be put into perspective. “We are blessed with our utility systems,” Lewis said. “If you think about the billions of people in the world who don’t have water to their house and have to sift their water through a gauze to get the mud and bugs out of it. We are truly blessed and sometimes we might forget that. I don’t,” Lewis said.

POLICE BLOTTER
‘I’M DRUNK,’ DRIVER TELLS OFFICER David Melvin Allen, 56, of Bremerton, was charged with DUI and driving while license suspended or revoked. His vehicle was tipped on its side on Riddell Road near Wheaton Way. “Everything is OK. No problems,” Allen told officers. A Washington State Patrol trooper asked Allen how much he had to drink. “Way too much. I’m drunk,” Allen replied. The trooper asked Allen to perform a field sobriety test. “We don’t need to do all of that. I’m drunk,” Allen told the trooper. His blood alcohol level was .239. The trooper told Allen he was being arrested for DUI. Allen then asked why he was being arrested, and the trooper again said it was for DUI. Allen claimed he wasn’t driving, but that his wife had been driving, but the officer observed Allen seat-belted in the driver’s seat when he arrived. ‘YOU’RE OUT!’ BATTER TAGGED
AT HOME BY POLICE Joshua Quinn Malasig Rivera, 20, of Silverdale, was charged with assault in the second degree. Rivera allegedly used a baseball bat to hit another man in the head outside the Red Lobster restaurant on Dec. 19. Rivera told police he hadn’t assaulted anyone and had been “at the house” all day except for two trips to a gas station and to the tobacco store. Rivera said he did not own a baseball bat. Officers later found a wooden baseball bat which was broken in the middle. The damage appeared to be fresh. Bail was set at $100,000. SILVERDALE CASHIER’S REGISTERS CAME UP A LITTLE SHORT Paulina R. Dennis, 20, of Poulsbo, was charged with theft in the second degree. Dennis, who was a seasonal cashier at the Target discount store in Silverdale, allegedly was shown on the store’s security video removing cash from the till and
putting it into her pockets. Her cash register was short $146 one day, then $177, $419, $343, $180, $185, $243, $423, $400 and $600 on subsequent days. Dennis signed a statement that she stole a total of $3,100 and said it was to pay for gasoline, food, Christmas presents and for medical bills for her grandmother. PASSED-OUT WITH PANTS DOWN Mitchell Aaron Malone, 28, of Bremerton, was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle and unlawful possession of a firearm. Someone called police to report Malone was sitting passed-out with his pants down in a Mazda pickup truck at a Port Orchard gas station on Dec. 25. Police arrived and learned the truck was stolen, and that Malone – a convicted felon – had a sawed-off shotgun on the passenger seat. The officer also found 7.3 grams of methamphetamine, syringes and a scale. Bail was set at $200,000. METH DEALER BUSTED Thomas “Tommy” Quane Hinchey, 57, was charged with delivery of methamphetamine. The West Sound Narcotics Enforcement Team held a “buy bust” narcotics deal in West Bremerton. The narcotics team later arrested Hinchey, who said he bought large amounts of methamphetamine which he would sell to local dealers. Detectives found 2.5 pounds of the drug and $23,000 in cash in Hinchey’s vehicle. MAN HEAD-BUTTS EX-GIRLFRIEND’S CAR Ian Samuel Krein, 22, of Bremerton, was charged with malicious mischief. Krein allegedly got into an argument with an ex-girlfriend while sitting as a passenger in her vehicle on Dec. 26.

The grandmother stated she wanted Divine to go to drug rehab instead of jail. DRIVER CRASHES INTO POLE, UNLOADS GUN Shannon Michael Ziemann, 33, of Bremerton, was charged with driving under the influence. Ziemann crashed his Jeep Cherokee into another vehicle on State Route 303 on Dec. 23. Then Ziemannn drove the Jeep into a ditch and hit a power pole. Witnesses said Ziemann removed hollow-point bullets from his .45 caliber semiautomatic handgun after the crash. The trooper asked if he unloaded the handgun after the collision. “Ziemann paused and responded that the weapon was empty,” stated the report. When asked again, Ziemann admitted he unloaded the weapon after the crash. Ziemann told a Washington State Patrol trooper he had consumed “a little bit” of alcohol — two beers. His blood alcohol level was .182. THREE SHOTS OF WHISKEY AND A CRASHED TRUCK A decision to down three shots of whiskey caused Richard M. Schulte, 29, of Bremerton, to crash his red Nissan truck into a ditch and knock down a road sign on Dec. 19. Schulte was charged with driving under the influence. A Washington State Patrol officer observed Schulte’s truck in a ditch near State Route 3. Schulte told the officer he had “three shots … shots of whiskey probably two hours ago” to drink. His blood alcohol level was .116. OTHER INCIDENTS: Eric David Pavlis, 45, of Poulsbo, was charged with violation of court order.

Commander achieves 1,000 trap landings BY CHRISTIAN B. MARTINEZ MASS COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST 3RD CLASS
PACIFIC OCEAN – The catapult was ready for launch. The F/A-18E Super Hornet pilot saluted and the aircraft propelled off the flight deck, into the sky. It was a process Capt. Stuart Baker had repeated countless times throughout his 25 years in the U.S. Navy, but today his landing would be different. Today, his landing would make him a member of a small and distinguished group of naval aviators. Baker, the commanding officer of Carrier Air
Wing (CVW) 9, accomplished his 1,000th carrier-arrested landing, or trap, aboard Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), Dec. 11, in an aircraft from the Vigilantes of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 151. “This accomplishment has never been about me,” said Baker, from Wausau, Wis. “There are so many people over the past 25 years who worked hard to get every plane I flew airborne and to come back safely. Those are the guys who made it all happen.” During his career, Baker accumulated over 4,000 flight hours flying in sev-
eral different types of aircraft. In flight school he learned to fly the T-34 single-engine propeller Mentor and T-2 Buckeye jet. He flew the A-4 Skyhawk, before piloting the F/A-18A, F/A-18C and F/A-18E aircraft which would define his roles in operations Southern Watch, Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. “I think it is an awesome milestone for any Naval pilot to achieve,” said Operations Specialist 2nd Class Martin Vories, from Rialto, Calif. “It’s not easy to fly a multimillion dollar aircraft onto a moving

Capt. Stuart Baker makes his 1,000th arrested landing on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier recently. runway 1,000 times.” With his latest achievement complete, Baker will finish his tour with CVW9 soon. “Actions speak louder than words,” said Baker.
“When I first joined, I always told myself I would quit the Navy once it stopped being fun. Twenty-five years and a 1,000 traps later, here I am. It never stopped.”

VA names new superintendent at soldier’s home Staff report The Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs is proud to announce the appointment of Walter H. “Willie” Slusarski Jr. as the superintendent of the Washington Soldiers Home in Orting. “Willie brings a unique perspective to this leadership position that I am confident will help him guide his team over the coming years,” said Gary Condra, WDVA Deputy Director. “His 18 years with WDVA have given him an opportunity to learn from the ground up how the agency serves veterans and their families.” Slusarski lives in East Bremerton with his wife. He has three daughters and eight grandchildren. He earned an AAS in liberal arts at Olympic College in 1998. Slusarski joined WDVA in 1996 as a Work Study in Bremerton, while completing classes at Olympic College, and later received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Pastoral Ministries from Nazarene Bible College. A year later he was hired as a full time Veterans Benefits Assistant. He moved to the USDVA Regional Office in Seattle in 2003, before returning to WDVA to assume the role of Veterans Benefits Specialist at the Washington Veterans Home in 2006. In 2012 he moved into the Administration Office as the Superintendent’s Assistant and began his Administrator-in-Training
Willie Slusarski program soon after. Slusarski successfully completed the AIT Program and became a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator in March 2014. “From day one, I’ve been impressed with WDVA and its commitment to serving veterans and their families,” said Slusarski. “After moving to the Veterans Home, I knew I’d found my niche and worked to learn as much as I could about the skilled nursing facility. The Administratorin-Training program was an opportunity to take my
passion for serving veterans and their families and put it into daily practice. As Superintendent at the Soldiers Home, I look forward to continuing that practice alongside the most dedicated team of professionals I’ve ever had the privilege of working with.” A veteran of the United States Navy, Slusarski enlisted in 1971 as a Seaman’s Apprentice. He rose to the rank of Chief Petty Officer before entering the Limited Duty Officer Program and commissioning as an Ensign. His service included duty as a military policeman and service aboard three submarines, two submarine repair ships, one ammunition ship and two tours at a Trident missile facility. He served until 1996 and retired at the rank of Lieutenant. WDVA operates three State Veterans Homes and provides both Medicaid and Medicare rehabilitative services to veterans and their spouses or widows. Opening in 1891, the Washington
Soldiers Home is the oldest facility, sitting on 180 acres in Orting. The Soldiers Home
cares for up to 184 veterans, spouses or widows. Find out more about

Afloat fitness specialist is the right fit for him
Patrick Enright photo
Aviation Electronics Technician 2nd Class Sequila Freeman, from Chicago, reports her curl up total to Jonathan Ciecko, leading afloat fitness and recreation specialist. BY CHRISTIAN MARTINEZ CTUCKER@CENTRALKITSAPREPORTER.COM
As a young boy growing up in upstate New York, Jonathan Ciecko had no idea he would someday become the leading afloat fitness and recreation
specialist for one of the most powerful warships in the world. “I love the job because it gives me satisfaction knowing that I am making a difference in sailors’ lives,” said Ciecko. “Giving them positive motiva-
tion, encouragement and the tools to achieve their personal goals is truly a great feeling.” Ciecko graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in exercise science. Due to a combination of opportunity and sheer luck, he
acquired an internship at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam in Hawaii. “I was really stoked to receive an internship in Hawaii and then later get hired as a recreation assistant with the Army at Schofield Barracks health and fitness center,” said Ciecko. “This experience was my first encounter with conducting group physical training session for our nation’s service members.” On base he lead a variety of fitness classes, including spin lessons, circuit training and kickboxing. He also helped organize special events like monthly 5K runs and holiday concerts. One day, a realization hit Ciecko. It was about time to take his training to the next level and aim for a full-time position. At the time he was between two jobs, working both at the recreation center on base and a local gym off base. Opportunity struck again. He accepted a job offer as a fitness specialist, his first position working for the Navy and
his last before becoming part of the Stennis family. He chose the job because it was a chance to travel and witness naval operations firsthand, he said. “I became accustomed with the Navy’s way of doing things,” said Ciecko. “I was trained in running fitness enhancement program classes and learning the Navy’s physical readiness training schedule.” After a few years of offering his support and fitness knowledge, it was time for Ciecko to bid farewell to the island he called home and move on to bigger things. “I told myself that before the age of 30, I wanted to have managerial or supervisory experience to challenge myself,” he said. “Being on the carrier has given me more experience than I would’ve received if I stayed at my old job.” Soon after he applied online for an afloat fitness specialist position with the description “duty station: worldwide,” Ciecko checked aboard Stennis. Both excited and nervous, he had a master plan
for the sailors he would be walking the ship’s deck plates with every day. “When I first met him [Ciecko], I could tell he knew what he wanted to accomplish,” said Hull Maintenance Technician 2nd Class Eric Taylor, leading petty officer of the Morale, Welfare and Recreation department, from Mansfield, Ohio. “He already has a schedule of fitness events for sailors to enjoy, including yoga, zumba, spin and TRX classes.” As Stennis’ Fit Boss, Ciecko will be expected to fulfill a range of responsibilities, such as teaching classes, maintaining gym equipment and providing dietary advice. “I am definitely looking forward to working with Stennis sailors and giving them what they want,” he said. “That is what the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Department is for, keeping you guys happy. That is the reason I am here.” For more news from USS John C. Stennis visit www. stennis.navy.mil or www.facebook.com/stennis 74.
Will dad ever hear anything the kids say? We didn’t need science to assure most of us that when compared to females, some men respond differently to interruptions from their children. Scenario A: Kid: Dad, can I take the vacuum into the backyard? Dad: Huh? What? Sure, yeah. Scenario B: Kid: Mom, can I take the vacuum into—? Mom: Nope. No, we didn’t need any experiments to tell us this is how it goes, but science has consistently backed up our claims anyway. Usually, however, the data relates to men’s and women’s responses to babies. After a 2013 National Institutes of Health study (www. nih.gov/news/health/may2013/ nichd-06.htm), the NIH “uncovered firm evidence for what many mothers have long sus-
Navy Wise
Sarah Smiley pected: women’s brains appear to be hard-wired to respond to the cries of a hungry infant.” These responses—mainly, interrupting focused attention—differed between genders but not between parent and non-parent participants. In 2009, a British company called Mindlab, commissioned by Lemsip Max All Night Cold & Flu Tablets to study sleep patterns, found that the number
one sound most likely to wake a sleeping woman is — yes — a crying baby. What did they find is most likely to wake a man? Car alarms, wind, buzzing flies, even crickets. In a highly unscientific experiment over the holiday break, I discovered that these differences between men and women do not disappear — not in my family, at least — when the baby is out of diapers. My oldest son, Ford (he used to wake me up by throwing his stuffed ducky against his crib mattress), has been reading Bill O’Reilly’s “Killing” series— Killing Patton, Killing Kennedy, etc. His brother, Owen (he never had to cry for me because I usually fell asleep feeding him), had given him one of the books for Christmas. Ford loves a new book almost as much as he loves a new phone,
especially when that book is about history. Ford can’t get enough history. In fact, his biggest pet peeve is that the History Channel doesn’t really show history anymore. It’s true. Flip to the History Channel at any point during the day and you are more likely to see a reality television show than a documentary on Patton. So Ford was super excited that “Killing Lincoln,” the TV-version, would be on Fox News the week after Christmas. We talked about this many times. “Killing Lincoln” had become part of our daily conversation: “Killing Lincoln will be on Fox News.” “Fox News? Isn’t that a news channel? They do documentaries now?” “It’s a special.” “Are news channels becoming the new History Channel?”

“No, just look at CNN. It’s mostly cooking and travel shows now.” “But Killing Lincoln will really be on Fox News?” “Yes.” The night the show would air, my youngest son, Lindell (he probably wakes up even the neighbors with his screams), started to worry that the show would be too scary for him. “It’s Killing Lincoln, it’s a book,” we said. “It won’t be scary. It’s history.” Lindell ran around the room crying, “I don’t wanna see Killing Lincoln! I don’t want to see Killing Lincoln.” Ford and Owen chased after him, mostly trying to reason with their youngest brother, but occasionally throwing insults like, “don’t be a cry baby.” By this point, my heart rate had doubled. I did not dare take my blood pressure. I couldn’t focus on my own reading. I couldn’t even get the dishes done. I was referee, comforter, and unofficial tally-person for how many times “Killing Lincoln” had been screamed in the living room. Dustin sat on the couch reading the news. “Aren’t you going to help?” I said. “Help with what? Those guys?” “Yes.”
“Okay. Boys, cut it out.” Lindell even jumped over Dustin’s legs at one point. He sat next to him on the couch and beat his feet on the cushion, screaming “I don’t wanna watch Killing Lincoln.” I brought out the O’Reilly books to show Lindell. I pet his hair that always sticks out on one side. I contemplated buying a second television to settle the fight. And all the while, Dustin sat there and read the news. Sure, to Dustin’s credit, he had worked all day. Also, what’s that word he uses? Oh, right — compartmentalization. Dustin’s really good at compartmentalization. But once I had finally settled everyone down, found the television remote and the right channel, my heart was beating like I’d just been in a fight. Adrenaline pumped in my fingertips. I sat with stiff posture, ready to grab the remote should, Heaven forbid, something scary actually come on the screen after I assured Lindell it wouldn’t. That’s when the music for the special feature began. That’s when the boys finally hushed and settled in for the show. And that’s when Dustin finally looked up and said, “Oh, wow, Killing Lincoln is on Fox News tonight?”

Spotlight on works by emerging artists BPA hosts art exhibit featuring works by clients of Special Needs Foundation BY LUCIANO MARANO Kitsap Week
W
hy do humans create art? For what reason did our ancestors — who were plenty busy hunting, gathering and trying not to get eaten by giant saber-toothed cats and whatnot — make the time to draw on cave walls and carve intricate showpieces out of stone? While modern man may have the luxury of time and freedom to create pretty things, that was clearly not always the case. The desire to create art has withstood terrible wars, barbarous dictatorships, natural disasters and, in fact, these events often foster a greater quality of creation. The truth is, when you strip away the ideas that surround art — the auctions, galleries, fame, scrutiny, hype and academic analysis — humans create art because it makes them feel good. One particular exhibit demonstrates this — one of the most basic tenets of humanity — better than most. This month, Bainbridge Performing Arts gallery showcases self portraits made out of fused glass by the clients of the Bainbridge Island Special Needs Foundation. The portraits are set on 14-inch-by-14-inch tiles and assembled out of repurposed glass pieces in countless shapes and colors. The material and instruction was provided by Gregg Mesmer and Diane Bonciolini of Mesolini Glass Studio. “Mesolini learned of Bainbridge Island Special Needs Foundation through [program director] Bryana Deits and has been doing workshops with the participants to create small sellable ornaments, sun catchers, art pieces for sale,” said Cara Thompson, volunteer spokeswoman for the foundation.
Left, Bainbridge Island Special Needs Foundation client Darien Hellmuth paints during arts and crafts time. BISNF, also known as “Stevens House,” operates a weekday program for adults with developmental disabilities, focusing on quality of life enhancements. Planned activities include field trips, swimming, daily exercises, and art projects, such as the upcoming fused-glass self-portrait exhibition, right, at Bainbridge Performing Arts. Luciano Marano “They have donated all the materials, their skills and their immeasurable time and given Bainbridge Island Special Needs Foundation all the flexibility to benefit from
these artworks,” Thompson said. “They love to work with the clients and continue to forge the individual relationships with
COVER STORY
each participant. It is important to learn the idiosyncrasies of the participants to help bring out
their best work. Diane and Gregg really know Bainbridge Island Special Needs Foundation clients well and the clients enjoy working with them. The fused glass is a good medi-
um as well for its bright colors and accessibility.” Bonciolini recalled the participants’ excitement during their early visits to the studio. See ART, Page 8

People helping pets...pets helping people. Sefton is a 2yr old all black male who turned up as a stray at one of our veterinary partner’s office. The staff really liked him from the moment he arrived and when no owner showed up to claim him they asked if we’d help him find a new home. Sefton has done well with the other cats he’s met both male and female. He is a mellow guy who likes to hang out on the fenced in porches and watch the activity at the bird feeders. He’s at the Poulsbo Petco hoping to find his new home. 1-888-558-PAWS • www.pawsbink.org

Friday, January 9, 2015 “The Interview,” a comedy about the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was denied by chain movie theaters, but has been picked up by independent theaters, such as Kingston’s Firehouse Theater, Bainbridge Cinemas, and Bremerton’s Olympic Cinemas.
KITSAP SCREEN FILM IN KITSAP
Indie theaters screen “The Interview” after chains opt not to BY RICHARD D. OXLEY Kitsap Week
D
espite negative press and international threats, Kitsap’s independent theaters are choosing to screen “The Interview,” a comedy that mocks North Korea’s leader. “The studio said they weren’t going to show it because the main theater companies — the chains — said they weren’t going to show it out of fear that customers could get hurt,” said Craig Smith, owner of the Firehouse Theater. Kingston’s Firehouse Theater screened “The Interview” from Jan. 2-8. Despite all advertising being pulled for the film, it received widespread press because of threats from hackers who could have ties to North Korea. The hackers referenced the attacks in New York on Sept. 11, 2001, when saying that movie goers should not see the movie. “The main reason I’m showing it is on principle,” Smith said. “We are not going to be dictated to. I’m a veteran, my father fought in the Korean con-
Art
Continued from page 2 “They’re absolutely delightful and wonderful people,” the artist said. “The director in the fall brought them in for a field trip. It was so successful and everyone had so much fun, including ourselves.” Bonciolini added, “This just seemed like a really good way that maybe they can make some interesting glass pieces and maybe sell them to make money for the facility.” After the first few creation sessions, the possibility of larger projects was discussed. Eventually, the artists would make Christmas and Valentine’s Day ornaments and

flict. My father was a journalist. It irks me. This is freedom of speech. I want to have the opportunity for the community to see it.” If ticket sales do well enough over the week, Smith said he will continue screening the film. “The Interview,” a Sony product, is about a couple of television personalities — played by actors Seth Rogen and James Franco — disappointed with their careers producing soft news and reality TV. When given the opportunity to interview the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, they jump on it. But the CIA views it as an opportunity as well. Agents want the TV stars to assassinate the leader of North Korea during the interview. “It’s very funny. Very disrespectful,” said Jeff Brein of Far and Away Entertainment. “I can see why Kim Jong-un would be upset, but it is satire. Seth Rogen and James Franco do a great job. It’s fun. It’s off color, but that’s the way a lot of their movies are.” The Firehouse Theater joined a list of other independent theaters across the nation that opted to show the film despite threats. Far and Away Entertainment is another local independent operation that has screened the film. Through its Bainbridge Cinemas and Olympic Cinemas, it was
among 311 small theaters that opened the film on Dec. 25, its original opening date. “Now it’s expanded, it’s up to 500 theaters, but still not major chains,” Brein said. “There are 11 theaters that are showing it in Washington,” Brein said. “Four of those theaters are ours.” Two of Far and Away Entertainment’s theaters that are screening “The Interview” are in Kitsap. Adding the Firehouse Theater to that list makes three theaters in area. “The Interview” sold out at Bainbridge’s theater on Dec. 25. Ticket sales have been steadily positive as it continues to screen there, Brien said. Far and Away
Mother’s Day gifts at the studio. The program participants took to the idea of a larger project with gusto even before the idea of an exhibition was brought up, Thompson said. “The participants at Bainbridge Island Special Needs Foundation are all very unique and creative,” she said. “This event means something different to all of them. What I do see though is the pride in their gesture and in their smiles when they bring in their parents, friends, and caretakers to see the work they have created. They will finish making a work of art and hold it up with a grin over and over again. The lack of inhibition and the abil-
ity to share themselves without condition is what inspires me to work with them.” The portraits themselves run the gamut of highly abstract and stylized to more realistic; one was even very careful to include eye glasses. All of them, however, reflect the genuine joy of the creative process. “Each person started with a tile, donated by a glass company we work with quite often,” Bonciolini explained. “We personally cut the tiles, found the arcs that were the appropriate size to be the main head shape. That gave the participants a parameter as to where the head was. Then everybody gathered, we had them
Entertainment was contacted by the FBI prior to opening the film. The FBI gave independent theaters tips on what to look for on their computers should a hacker decide to act. “(The FBI) told us from day one that there have been no credible threats received for theaters and people going to theaters,” Brein said. “They only thing they had was for stuff going on the Internet. “Fortunately it all worked out well and the movie was a hit. More importantly, we stood up to these troublemakers and showed the movie.” The FBI also contacted the Firehouse Theater before it screened “The Interview.” The film was original-
ly slated for release in October, but was rescheduled to December and was ultimately canceled by major theaters because of the threats. The concern at movie theaters grew after The Guardians of Peace — a hacker organization that the FBI believes is tied to North Korea — hacked into computers at Sony Pictures containing sensitive information, including personal information about employees, salaries, emails and even digital copies of Sony films that have yet to be released. The hackers soon released embarrassing information, such as the emails of Sony executives calling actress Angelina Jolie “a minimally talented spoiled brat.” North Korea has denied any connection to the hacking, and some tech talking heads have questioned the connection between the country and the Guardians of Peace. Large theater chains were cautious and have not shown the film. “They were spooked and Sony was spooked,” Brein said. “And we were like everybody else, we had concerns. But I think more importantly, this is a signal for some of the larger chains. If they want to stop showing movies for fear of this group or that group, we are in a sorry state.”
After the film’s widespread release was snubbed, the hackers allegedly said that Sony could release the film as long as the assassination of Kim Jong-un was not “too happy.” Press coverage of the hacking and “The Interview” may have, in turn, given the film more attention than it normally would have. Reviews from film websites and critics have been mixed, but mostly place it at 50/50, good and bad. Mixed reviews may have to do with the brand of humor common to Rogen and Franco films. “Seth Rogen is an interesting film maker,” Smith said. “He throws in social satire with his crude, drug-laden humor. There is a satirist in there. I’m not into the language and the crudeness, but I do like his satire. It’s in your face a little bit, but it is a legitimately funny movie. “Reality TV shows are totally out of line and this totally mocks it,” he said. Brein also got a few laughs from “The Interview.” “I went opening night and the crowd loved it,” Brien said. “It’s not going to win an Academy Award. It’s just a plain-old-fun, laugh-a-minute type movie.”
around the table, and we just kind of took it step by step. We started with a nose, I said find a color and a shape that you like. Then a mouth, then eyes.” The group’s first exhibition was at the Seattle Art Museum earlier this year. The show was very well received and inspired them to seek out a more local gallery space. “We’re thrilled that BPA has the opportunity to showcase this whimsical, inspired, and community-honoring exhibit,” said Sally Jo Martine of BPA. “We’ve collaborated with the Bainbridge Island Special Needs Foundation on past ventures, but this gallery display promises to be something extra special.”
The foundation, also known as “Stephens House,” was established in 2002. The program operates a weekday program for adults with developmental disabilities, focusing on quality of life enhancements. Planned activities include field trips, swimming and daily exercises, art projects, computer learning, and small work contracts for local businesses. Stephens House is located at 191 Winslow Way West. For more information, visit www.bispecialneedsfoundation.org. “Bainbridge needs a place like Stephens House,” Bonciolini said. “Bainbridge is lucky to have a place like Stephens House.”

page 16 kitsapweek Friday, January 9, 2015 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

For scholarship money and a lot of local causes 21 vying for pageant titles on Jan. 10
O
ne teen wants to help prevent discrimination. One teen wants community dialogue on the issue of cyberbullying. Another teen wants to call attention to the plight of homeless animals. Another wants to help empower young women in leadership roles and service. Another wants to promote music education in public schools. They are among 21 contestants in the Miss Poulsbo Miss Kitsap Miss Silverdale Scholarship Pageant on Jan. 10, 5 p.m., at Bremerton High School. They will vie for more than $21,500 in scholarship funds — and an opportunity to cast the community spotlight on their cause. And they will enter the local history books as the 62nd Miss Poulsbo, the 36th Miss Kitsap and the sixth Miss Silverdale. The new title holders will succeed 2014 Miss Poulsbo Emily Ward, 2014 Miss Kitsap Charlyn Garcia, and 2014 Miss Silverdale Ryleigh Hazen.

Our total to date with them is $33,950.00 since 2005,” Wasson reported. “Our current titleholders will have made 216 appearances by pageant night and have given over 500 hours of community service.” The theme for the pageant is #Who WillWearTheCrowns. To purchase tickets, contact Wasson at 360-
689-3553 or at misspoulsbo@yahoo. com. Contestants are also selling tickets; the one that sells the most will receive a $200 scholarship.
