USS Nimitz arrives in Bremerton, finally, for repair BY PETER O’CAIN POCAIN@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

A tugboat helps dock the USS Nimitz at Pier Delta at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard on Jan. 13.
After a weeklong delay, the USS Nimitz finally docked at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton. The Nimitz temporarily changed its home port from Naval Base Everett to Naval Base Kitsap (NBK) to undergo routine maintenance. It is expected to be docked at the shipyard for 16 months. The Nimitz has a crew of 2,931 and of that about 2,000 will transfer to Bremerton,
according to Capt. John Ring, commanding officer of the Nimitz. Barracks at NBK are overcrowded because two carriers are in port so about 180 sailors will live on a barge, Ring said. “Our goal is to get those folks off the barge as quickly as possible,” Ring said. Throughout the Nimitz’s time in Bremerton, its sailors will continue training for operations at sea. Sailors will spend time on other aircraft carriers on the West Coast to maintain their skill.
“There’s two things the sailors need: they need to be qualified to do a job; they need to proficient at doing that job,” Ring said. “They’re not going to be proficient after 16 months in the yard.” During the stay the ship will be brought up to date. “We’re a 40-year-old ship. Salt water and metal don’t like each other so we have a lot of repairs to do,” Ring said. “Repair and modernization are what we’re about here.” Civilian workers with the shipyard are expected to
make the bulk of the significant repairs, while sailors will be improve the ship’s “habitability.” “The reality is we can’t afford all the work that has to get done to the ship. To save taxpayer money we have sailors do quite a bit of it,” Ring said. Ring said there are teams set to redo tile, paint and pipe insulation, among others. After the yard period, the ship will be inspected for comSEE NIMITZ, A9
CK community mourns teens lost in fatal car crash Prosecutor says marijuana use, excessive speed were factors in crash BY PETER O’CAIN & CHRIS TUCKER POCAIN@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
Volunteers at Olympic High School prepared 600 candles for a Monday evening vigil for three students killed in a car accident early Sunday morning, Jan. 11. They began passing out candles at 6 p.m. By 6:35 p.m. there were none left. Students and community members gathered to remember OHS students Luther Stoudermire, an 18-yearold senior, Kassidy Clark, a 16-year-old junior, and Jenna Farley, a 14-year-old freshman. Friends and family recounted stories until about 8 p.m. Reuben Farley, Jenna’s father, spoke and thanked the community for its support. “I’ll miss my girl,” Farley said. “I just want to say thank you for everybody coming out.” “I don’t even know how to describe the support that happens from the community from this. From my friends, my family,” Farley said. “There’s no words to describe the support that happens—for all three kids, not just mine.” Farley said he was handling the loss of his daughter “As

well as can be expected for a family that just lost a daughter.” He described his family as “very strong.” Elbert Stoudermire, Luther’s brother, described the outpouring of love for his brother as “wonderful.” Stoudermire told the crowd, many of whom were distraught, to “Love your family. Love your friends. Pick your battles. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Life will go on.” Keith Moore, a junior at OHS, delivered a series of funny and emotional stories of

Balloons, candles, a poster and flowers mark the site on Seabeck-Holly Road NW where three teenagers died in an single-vehicle rollover crash on Jan. 11. Stoudermire, Clark and Farley. “Every party that (Clark) went to I was there and I made sure she was alright. And sadly I missed Saturday,” Moore said. Moore paused to cry and hug a friend before continuing. “I wasn’t there. She wasn’t alright. Jenna on the other hand. Jenna was my bus buddy
with Malibu 12. She was a fun person. Energetic person. I miss Malibu, man, it was so fun. Kassidy, she always had a positive attitude to everyone even though she was silent the whole time. ‘Hey Kassidy, how you doin? Kassidy, how you doin’?’ ‘I’m fine.’ ‘I’m glad you doin’ OK.’
“But I certainly miss all of them. I wish I was there last night, I mean I wish I was there Saturday night because if… every party I went to Luther was there and I made sure he was cool. I feel so guilty.” See the online edition for a video of Moore.
Teen driver may be charged as an adult A hearing will be held to determine whether the driver in Sunday’s fatal car crash will be charged as an adult. Todd Dowell, senior deputy prosecutor with the Kitsap SEE CRASH, A9

Boy suffers serious injuries in dog attack SILVERDALE — A 5-yearold boy is in serious condition at a Seattle hospital after he was attacked by two dogs, according to The Associated Press. According to Deputy Scott Wilson, Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office spokesman, the boy was playing outside his home Jan. 13 when he was attacked. The youngster suffered bites to the head, face and neck. AP reported the boy is in a intensive care unit following surgery the day after the attack, according to a nursing supervisor at Harborview Medical Center Wilson reported the boy’s mother shielded the child with her body until a relative could rescue the boy. The mother was taking care of the dogs as a favor to an ex-boyfriend. The animals were turned over to Kitsap Animal Rescue, a division of Kitsap Humane Society
Influenza on the rise in KC
BREMERTON — Influenza is on the rise in Kitsap County and is expected to continue to increase in the coming weeks, according to the Kitsap Public Health District. Statewide influenza data indicates that flu and other respiratory virus infections are increasing, as is typical during influenza season. KPHD reported that Harrison Medical Center is seeing a higher than normal number of elderly patients admitted to the hospital with the flu, and several local long-term care facilities have reported an increase in influenza. Statewide, there has been in increase in influenza, as well as infections with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and colds. “It is not too late to get vaccinated against the flu,” said Dr. Susan Turner, health officer for the Kitsap Public Health District. People at high risk who get the flu may develop serious complications, such as pneumonia, and the flu can make existing health conditions worse. Anyone with an increased risk for complications that develops flu symptoms should contact their physician or clinic right away. Steps one can take to protect themselves include: Get vaccinated, wash hands often and after coughing or sneezing, cover coughs and sneezes with elbow or tissue and stay at home if sick.

K-12: Expensive focus of 2015 legislative debates BY COOPER INVEEN WNPA OLYMPIA NEWS BUREAU
OLYMPIA — Washington’s lawmakers have opened this year’s legislative session amid predictions of a long and contentious debate focused on budget and tax votes for the K-12 education system. Lawmakers are confronted with a mountain of expensive problems to solve, ranging from transportation to mental health. But education funding is pivotal. The Washington Supreme Court held the Legislature in contempt last year for engaging in “an ongo-
ing violation of its constitutional duty to K-12 children,” by not adequately funding public education. Combined with the responsibility to fund a class-size initiative passed in the recent election, education will likely take a large chunk out of the budget, creating a deficit that may not be filled without spending cuts and tax increases. Meeting the requirements of the Supreme Court’s decision is estimated to cost around $2 billion, with the class-size initiative expected to tack on another $2 billion. Gov. Jay Inslee is pushing a budget proposal that relies on establishing a 7 percent capital-gains tax,
New online tool crosswalks veterans to civilian jobs
OLYMPIA — The statewide WorkSource system has a new online tool that makes it easier for veterans and exiting service members to find jobs in Washington’s civilian workforce. The Veterans Military Crosswalk on Go2WorkSource.com goes beyond other websites that simply translate military skills into possible civilian occupations. Crosswalk converts veterans’ Military Occupation Codes into specific jobs that match their skills and experience. The tool works on mobile devices and can send email notification to users when it finds appropriate job openings. Last program year (July 2013-June 2014), WorkSource career centers placed nearly 21,000 veterans into jobs at an average wage of $35,600 per year.
Sound restructures Port Orchard and Bremerton newsrooms BREMERTON – Restructuring of Sound Publishing Inc.’s Bremerton and Port Orchard newsrooms will mean the return of sports coverage in the Bremerton Patriot/Central Kitsap Reporter, beginning Jan. 16. In addition the company has created a specialty publications editorship to improve the content and development of the newspapers’ special sections. Lori Maxim, publisher of Sound Publishing Inc. Kitsap Newspapers, said the Bremerton and Port Orchard newsrooms have been restructured as a team led by Dannie Oliveaux, editor of the Port Orchard Independent and the Bremerton Patriot/Central Kitsap Reporter. Chris Tucker has been promoted to assistant editor of the Patriot/ Reporter. Chris Chancellor, senior sports reporter of the Independent, is also in charge of sports for the Patriot/ Reporter. Reporter Peter O’Cain completes the team in Bremerton. “Our Port Orchard and Bremerton offices are only nine miles from each other, and there’s some crossover, such as healthcare, military, and Port of Bremerton, so it makes sense that those two offices would work together to identify and develop
stories of mutual interest,” Maxim said. “The team will benefit from Dannie’s experience.” The Patriot/Reporter offices are located in the United Way building at 645 4th St., Downtown Bremerton. The Independent’s new office is in the Bethel Corridor Place Building, 2465 Bethel Ave., Suite 102, in Port Orchard. Leslie Kelly, formerly editor of the Patriot/Reporter, is now specialty publications editor headquartered in the company’s Poulsbo office. She will plan, write for and coordinate content for special sections in Sound Publishing’s Kitsap Newspapers. Maxim said the creation of the specialty publications editorship will mean more focused attention on special sections content, and will enable editors and reporters to concentrate on stories for their news pages. “Leslie is a fine reporter and writer and I expect this emerging division will grow as she puts her touch on our special sections,” Maxim said. In Kitsap County, Sound Publishing, Inc. publishes the Bainbridge Island Review, Bremerton Patriot, Central Kitsap Reporter, Kingston Community News, North Kitsap Herald, Port Orchard Independent, and Veterans Life.
a carbon-emissions tax, an excise tax on vaporizers, a 50-cent-perpack increase on cigarettes, and various tax break repeals. But the governor’s proposals are under fire as Republican lawmakers question whether tax increases are necessary to fill the spending gap. At an Associated Press pre-session leadership forum Jan. 8, Inslee rejected a charge from Senate budget Chairman Andy Hill, R-Redmond, that the increases were included in his proposed budget as a first rather than last resort. Hill has also denied that the state faces a true budget deficit.
“When you do the math, you have to generate additional revenue,” Inslee said, claiming the new taxes will help progressivize Washington’s tax system more than traditional “fallback” increases on sales and B&O taxes. “If we can tax pollution, which we don’t like, instead of business growth, which we do, that’s a good decision,” he said. “If we can tax higher income folks through a capital-gains tax instead of lower income folks when they buy a pair of shoes, that’s a good decision.” Hill disagrees, however, claiming that talk of a regressive tax system is code for thinking an income tax
is needed. “When we raise taxes, we’re taking money out of your pockets, and when we do that, we better be sure that we have exhausted all other ways of spending the existing money we’ve taken out of your pocket,” Hill said. The 2015 legislative session began Jan. 12. Among the major issues facing the 105-day session are efforts to increase the minimum wage, fix the state’s mental-health system, reduce the rate of poverty-related crimes, and increase cleanup funding for oil train spills.

Get involved and make a difference A
community is a reflection of its residents – their vision of community life, their level of involvement, how well they support that which is good for the whole. Bremerton could not have achieved its downtown and waterfront revitalization without the vision and involvement of residents, businesses and local elected representatives. Ditto for Port Orchard’s downtown market, Kingston’s Village Green, Poulsbo’s parks, the Suquamish Tribe’s cultural district, Silverdale’s future library and the community development plan — called a Sub-Area Plan — now under consideration. Simply put: get involved and you can make a difference. And not just in community life, but perhaps in the life of an individual. Kitsap County offers volunteer opportunities in 17 programs that, among other things, maintain our beaches, parks, roads, shores and streams; assist the sheriff’s department; help children who’ve strayed get back on the right track; and mentor veterans going through Veterans Court. In addition, there are openings on 14 county boards, council and commissions. Appointees will help direct how the county responds to needs regarding the arts, human rights, ferry transportation, older residents and children. Go to www.kitsapgov.com/volunteer/current. htm or call Rebecca Pirtle, 360-337-4650 for more information. In Bremerton, six committees and commissions advise the City Council on issues related to the arts, audits, civil service, parks and recreation, planning, and trees. Go to www.ci.bremerton.wa.us/228/ Boards-Commissions or call the City Clerk’s office, 360-473-5290, for information about applications and opportunities to serve. You don’t have to be an appointed or elected official to make a difference. Speak out on local issues. When you do so, you contribute to the development of ideas, foster community dialogue, and help appointed and elected officials make decisions. The Kitsap County Board of County Commissioners meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month,5:30 p.m., in the Commissioner Chambers, 619 Division St., Port Orchard. SEE OPINION, A6

Detroit’s bankruptcy is lesson in what not to do
L
ast month, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Detroit approved $178 million in legal and consulting fees as the city exited bankruptcy protection. It is the most expensive municipal restructuring in our nation’s history and the money paid to lawyers and consultants alone is more than it cost to run the entire Don Brunell Seattle City Fire Department last year. To put its total debt in perspective, the amount Detroit owes its creditors is equivalent to the entire Washington state budget for this year. Once America’s fifth largest city, Detroit has seen its population drop by 60 percent. Unemployment stands at 16 percent and 36 percent of its residents live in poverty. Detroit’s property tax rates are the nation’s highest, exceeding 4 percent of market value for some buildings. This has caused potential investors to shy away from purchasing any of the city’s large stock of abandoned homes, because they get assessed at far above their actual worth, leaving owners with inflated property taxes. The city currently owes $3.5 billion to its pension funds. Currently about 21,000 retired city employees and their widows receive around $1,600 per month. The problem is, every day there are fewer workers contributing to the fund to cover payouts. Present-day Detroit is a testament to what happens when you have a bad business climate. The phrase “business climate” means little to the average person, but elected officials know full well that without a good business climate – low taxes, reasonable regulatory costs, freedom to innovate – jobs and vital tax revenues go away. Actually, what happened in Detroit isn’t that different from many families who run up their credit card bills. Rather than cut up their credit card and pay their debts, they just keep spending up to their limit. Ultimately, they
My Turn
end up in bankruptcy. To support its unsustainable spending, Detroit increased taxes on the city’s businesses and residents. Detroit has one of America’s heaviest tax burdens and offered notoriously bad services in return. For example, police response time average almost an hour and 40 percent of the city’s streetlights don’t work. As a result, businesses — and the jobs they provided — fled to cities with safer neighborhoods, lower taxes and better services. Columnist Thomas Sowell nicknamed this downward economic spiral the “Detroit Pattern” — “increasing taxes, harassing businesses, and pandering to unions.” In some ways, Seattle was like Detroit at one time. Detroit relied entirely on the American automakers while Seattle relied on Boeing. Many long-time Puget Sound residents recall that 1972 billboard as Boeing struggled: “Last One out of Seattle, Turn out the Lights!” But Seattle learned from its mistakes and diversified its economy. While Boeing remains a key employer, the Puget Sound region is now home to major software, health care, retail and service industries and is a place tourists like to visit. Detroit could do the same, but first it must shed its punitive tax policies and make the city more attractive to employers and investors. New Geography writer Scott Beyer writes: “Detroit could also help its cause with a business climate that better encouraged entrepreneurship. For decades it has done the opposite. It has squelched small businesses, which are generally better at creating jobs, with a cobweb of protectionist regulations.” The Detroit bankruptcy holds important lessons for our city, county and state leaders as they consider regulatory, pension and tax policy. First, as hard as it is, keep pension costs under control and fund them. Second, don’t over tax employers or impose repressive and costly regulations. Finally, foster a climate where entrepreneurs can create jobs and produce tax revenues. Employers talk a lot about the importance of maintaining a good business climate. Detroit’s bankruptcy is a cautionary tale of what happens when elected officials won’t listen.

District lawmakers sworn in during first day of 2015 session BY DANNIE OLIVEAUX DOLIVEAUX@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
OLYMPIA — Lawmakers representing the 26th Legislative District were sworn in Jan. 12 as the 2015 Legislative session began. State Reps. Michelle Caldier (R-Port Orchard) and Jesse Young (R-Gig Harbor) will represent the 26th District in the House of Representatives, while Sen. Jan Angel (R-Port Orchard) is in the Senate. The 26th District includes portions of Pierce and Kitsap counties. This is Caldier’s first time in the House, while Young has a year under his belt. He was appointed in December 2013 to replace Angel who won the district’s Senate seat a month earlier. “The ceremony was a proud moment for me, but humbling at the same time,” Caldier said. “To stand in the House chamber and sit where so many great leaders have made laws for our state is awe-inspiring. I’m thrilled to get started serving my constituents.” Caldier and Griffey swore to “uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States of
America, the Constitution and laws of the State of Washington, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of the office of a Washington State Representative to the best of my ability.” Caldier said she takes the oath and her responsibilities as a state representative seriously. “These aren’t just words — I will follow them with how I act,” she said. Caldier will serve on three House committees: Education, General Government and Information Technology, and Health Care and Wellness. She said the committee assignments reflect her strengths as well as her goals for the 105day session. “Education will be and should be our top priority as a state,” Caldier said. “The General Government and Information Technology Committee considers issues dealing with making state agencies more efficient and responsive, and that’s something I believe we can constantly improve upon. “Being a dentist and caring for the most vulnerable population, the Health Care and Wellness Committee was a

Young said he was grateful for this opportunity to serve and honored to be a voice for the people of the 26th Legislative District. “We have a lot of work to do, and I am excited to work on the issues facing our state, including getting our economy going by fostering job growth, passing a balanced, sustainable budget without raising taxes, and properly

funding education.” Young will serve on the following committees: Transportation, Technology and Economic Development, and Rules. “I am grateful to the House Republican Caucus leadership for entrusting me with this responsibility,” Young said. “I look forward to leveraging my private sector experience in Olympia and am eager to continue working with my colleagues across the aisle to bring hard work, fiscal responsibility, and opportunity to those who need and desire it.” Angel representing 26th District for fourth term Angel was sworn in for a fourth term after being re-elected as senator for the 26th District. “I am very honored and humbled to get back to work for families, small businesses, veterans and hard-working taxpayers in the 26th District,” Angel said. “Last year, I was excited about the progress we made to put education funding first and pass meaningful help for families struggling with homelessness. I’m ready to keep us moving forward this year.” Angel is vice-chair of the Majority Coalition Caucus in the Senate, a coalition of Republicans and Democrats formed around principles of fiscal responsibility and good government. She also serves on the Financial Institutions and Insurance, Trade and

Economic Development and Health Care committees. She previously served three terms in the House of Representatives. She is a former Kitsap County commissioner, serving eight years. Angel owned a business for nine years with approximately 54 employees in Pierce and Kitsap counties, and was a Realtor in Kitsap County for seven years. Griffey sworn into office State Rep. Dan Griffey (R-Allyn) will represent the 35th District for the first time. Griffey defeated incumbent Kathy Haigh in November. The 35th District consists of a portion of Kitsap, all of Mason and part of Thurston counties. He was selected as the assistant ranking member on the House Local Government Committee, and also will serve as a member of the House Education and Public Safety committees. In addition to his other duties, he has been appointed to a leadership position as assistant whip. As a firefighter for more than 27 years, Griffey said he has a passion for serving his community and looks forward to representing his constituents in the Legislature. “I am excited to begin this journey, and I am very appreciative for the opportunity to serve the folks in the 35th District,” Griffey said. “I want them to know that I am here for them, they are my boss and ci.bremerton.wa.us and click on Public Meetings to see when city commissions and committees meet.

I will work for them every single day.” He said he’s passionate about protecting the private property rights of those in the 35th District. “I want this office to always be an advocate for the personal property owner’s right to own, develop and occupy his or her property,” Griffey said. “I truly believe that the bigger the government, the smaller the individual. Runaway government does not serve the people, which is why I will be a consistent voice in the Legislature advocating for limited, but effective government.” He also said the Legislature should work together to fund education first during the legislative session. State Rep. Drew MacEwen (R-Union) was sworn in to represent the 35th District for a second term. He will serve as the ranking member on the newly formed General Government and Information Technology Committee and serve on the Appropriation Committee, which writes the biennial operating budget for the state. “I am grateful to House Republican Caucus leaders for entrusting me with this responsibility in just my second term,” MacEwen said. “I look forward to working towards a sustainable operating budget that prioritizes state spending and does not raise taxes.”

Kilmer selected to appropriations committee BREMERTON – Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Bremerton, was named by his Democratic colleagues to the House Appropriations Committee for the 114th Congress.

The committee is responsible for discretionary spending on government agencies and programs. Each year the committee is tasked with producing 12 annual appropriations bills. The Constitution stipulates that Congress, through the House and Senate Appropriations Committee, oversees federal spending. The committee was Kilmer’s
top committee request. “This is a huge deal for our region,” former Rep. Norm Dicks said in a pres release from Kilmer’s office. “Having spent my congressional career on this committee, I can tell you it’s a critical place to get things done. Derek will do us proud.” “Since his election to Congress, Derek has been a staunch supporter of our local naval presence and
has been a key partner in our economic development efforts in Bremerton and Kitsap County,” Bremerton Mayor Patty Lent said. “His new role on the Appropriations Committee will allow him to continue to advocate for strategic investments at our local bases and to help retain and create good jobs here in our community.”

you want them to treat you”, that I discovered a better way of living. With all the changes and challenges a person will face when moving into a “care facility”, it’s easy to find yourself staying off to the side, uncomfortable, waiting for someone to make you feel welcome and accepted. What you need and desire is exactly what everyone else wants as well. The problem is, we are often waiting for others to make the first move. However, when we are willing to take the first step toward kindness, toward caring, toward giving someone what is needed, we may become the answer to one of the greatest needs of your neighbor: a caring friend. Friendship begins as one
gives, and grows as the other receives with gratitude. Some of the happiest people I know are also the most loving and caring people I know. They sincerely want to bless others. They have friends, not because they are happy, for they, too, have troubles; rather, they are happy because they care for people, and so, people like them. Even though you may be struggling with various challenges, when you have the ability to reach out to someone, start a conversation, smile, or make them comfortable, don’t hesitate. The friendships you build will be a blessing to many, including yourself. (It also works with the staff of the care facility!)

CRASH CONTINUED FROM A1
County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, said that the hearing was required since Class A felony charges had been filed. The driver, Marcus Allen McKay, 17, of Bremerton, was charged with three counts of vehicular homicide during an initial appearance at the Kitsap County Superior Court Juvenile Division on Jan. 12. Deputy Scott Wilson with the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office said the hearing is set for 9 a.m. on Jan. 26 at Kitsap County Superior Court. McKay has been released into the custody of his parents on his own personal recognizance with conditions regarding his freedom of movement and conduct, he said. Wilson said he still had a lot of investigation work to do including interviews and crash reconstruction. “We’re only into day one,” he said of the investigation. Wilson said the Sheriff ’s Office was investigating whether drugs or alcohol was a factor in the crash. “We’re looking into that,” Wilson said. He said there was enough evidence for the Sheriff ’s Office to develop probable cause to ask a judge for a warrant to do a blood draw. The results of the blood draw are

Reuben Farley, whose daughter Jenna Farley died in the crash, speaks with friends and family at the Olympic HS vigil Monday evening. He thanked the community for its support. pending completion of toxicology tests at the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab. According to King 5 News, a county prosecutor alleged McKay had smoked marijuana one hour prior to the crash, and was speeding 75 mph in a 45 mph zone at the time of the crash. Wilson could not verify the prosecutor’s allegations. Wilson said no traffic citations had been issued. Crash after a curve According to the Sheriff ’s
Office, McKay and three other teenagers had just left a party being held in the area when the crash occurred. Stoudermire, from the East Bremerton area of Central Kitsap, was riding in the front passenger seat of the 1996 Toyota Corolla four-door sedan. Clark, from the East Bremerton area of Central Kitsap, and Farley, from the Rocky Point area of Bremerton, were sitting in the back seat. Wilson said the car was traveling northbound near the
6600 block of Seabeck–Holly Road NW when it came to a slight turn in the road. “It’s not a sharp, hairpin curve. It’s a very gradual turn,” Wilson said. McKay lost control of the vehicle when he came out of the curve. The vehicle drifted off the pavement and onto the shoulder. The vehicle was nearly parallel with the road, but angled slightly as the right side of the vehicle began to go over the embankment of a drainage ditch which had recently been cleared of vege-
tation. The vehicle then struck an earthen driveway access. “It hit that driveway and the car went airborne,” Wilson said. He wasn’t certain how high the vehicle went, but it struck a tree on the passenger side as it came down. The impact caused the vehicle to spin around its axis, roll over and came to rest on its top. The three passengers were declared deceased at the scene of the crash. Clark and Farley were ejected from the rear windows and Wilson said he did not know for certain if they were wearing seat belts properly or not. McKay was wearing a seat belt and survived the crash. He was treated at Harrison Medical Center and then booked in Kitsap County Youth Services Center (juvenile detention). Persons with information about the crash are asked to contact Deputy Andrew Aman, sheriff’s traffic unit, at 360-337-4634. ‘Seat belts save lives’ “Seat belts save lives,” Wilson said. When a vehicle comes to a sudden stop due to a crash and an occupant is not belted, “You are now a missile inside the compartment of that car because there’s nothing to keep you in your seat. In all likelihood you’re going to impact the windshield,” Wilson said. “The importance of wear-
ing seat belts has been proven thousands of times over the course of motor vehicle operations throughout the world.” 1996 Corolla given four stars in government crash test A government crash test of the 1996 Toyota Corolla show the vehicle was given four out of a possible five stars for safety for both theAdriver and passenCUT ABOVE ger in 35 mph frontal crashes.

bat readiness, Ring said. Ring told his sailors to enjoy their stay in the area in their personal lives and to focus on three things in their professional lives. “I want them to do something for the ship every day, I want them to do something to help their shipmate every day and I want them to do something for themselves every
day,” Ring said. “I know that if they do those three things the yard period will end, we’ll get through this quickly, they’ll be ready to go.” Moving home ports to Bremerton will help with productivity, Ring said, because it means his sailors won’t need to commute from Everett. “That means I get a full work day out of them,” Ring said. “And the other side of that is a quality of life thing where they’re not trying to work a full day and commute a full day.”

Bremerton downs Riders in league action Peninsula Daily News
PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles boys basketball team missed an opportunity to improve its postseason prospects in its 61-48 home loss Jan. 12 to the Bremerton Knights. The Roughriders entered game in what appeared to be a four-team fight with Bremerton, North Mason (1-3, 5-6) and Kingston for the Olympic League 2A’s
fourth and fifth district tournament berths. With the win and Sequim’s loss to North Kitsap on Jan. 12, the Knights (3-2, 5-5) moved into third place in the league behind Olympic and North Kitsap. Port Angeles led most of the first half of Monday’s game, but Bremerton’s 3-pointer with 2 seconds remaining tied the game at 25-25 going into halftime.

Esther Eileen Ames February 6, 1954 - December 29th, 2014
Our mother Nancy Templeton died peacefully from the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. She was 82. While we will dearly miss her, we take comfort in knowing she has joined our father Chuck Templeton in heaven. Mom was born in Grand Junction Colorado to Guy and Flossie Winslow. Following her graduation from high school, Mom attended and graduated from Chico State College in California. There she met the love of her life, Charles, a talented drama student, who had just returned from the war and was the son of a poor California farming family. While still in college, Dad and 19-year-old Mom married in 1952. Following graduation they moved to San Diego where Mom got her first teaching job. A year later they moved to Grand Junction where Mom taught elementary children of Hispanic immigrant farm workers and was selected to teach in one of the nations first head start pilot programs. In 1966 Dad and Mom moved to Silverdale where they spent the rest of their careers in the CK School District. Mom first taught at Brownsville under Bud Hawk’s leadership. She later served as principal of Silverdale, Seabeck and Tracyton elementaries, the District’s personnel director and retired as the Asst. Supt. of curriculum and instruction in 1995. Mom made and valued her numerous lifelong friendships in Colorado, Washington and in Palm Springs following her retirement; her many friends will fondly remember all the outings she planned or hosted. Mom was not only a dedicated mother but a champion of needy children and students, was a charter member of the Silverdale Chamber, one of the first women to join Rotary and was an elder of the CK Presbyterian Church. Mom tried to instill high ethical values in her sons and grandchildren as well as the virtues of compassion, caring and giving; she prayed that they would always love and serve the Lord as did she and Dad. She is survived by her sons and their wives, Ron and Peggy Templeton and Randy and Sue Templeton; grandsons, Derek, Austin, Ryan; granddaughter, Lara Christopherson and her husband Colby and their son Camden; and her sister and brother-in-law Maxine and Larry Johnson and their daughter Jari Arin. A church service and reception will be held on Jan. 24 at 2 pm at CK Presb. Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the CK Scholarship Fund or the CKPC Christmas Angels Fund.
Our beloved Esther Eileen Ames (Aiken) (Bair) passed away suddenly at home, a little more than a month before her 61st birthday. She was born in Longview on February 6, 1954 to parents Elva Mae (Benjamin) Wilson & Vincent Lawrence Aiken, Sr. and was preceded in death by both of them in 2005 as well as by younger sister Peggy Lynn Aiken in 1955. She lived and attended grade school in Toutle, and later lived with sister Billie in Naselle. She graduated from Naselle High School in 1972, where she was a cheerleader, band member, honor student, and sang in the choir. One highlight from that time was when she sang the National Anthem at the Class “B” Basketball Tournament in Spokane. After high school she attended dental assisting college in Seattle, first working in Aberdeen, Hoquiam, and later relocating to Raymond and working in South Bend for Dr. Guy Deskines, DDS. She joined the Willapa Players theater troupe, where she was active in musical productions from 1976 until 1982. There she met fellow member Steve Bair, whom she married in 1981.

I’ll begin at the end: By the time the boys returned to school after the holiday break, Dustin told them, “If your teachers ask you to draw what you did over vacation, draw a silver bowl and tell them, ‘Take from this what you will’.” Put a broken iPhone in the silver bowl, and that pretty much sums up our New Year’s. Two weeks prior, we had one of our best Christmases ever. After three years of being “just the five of us,” we finally had family in town to celebrate with us. Plus, Santa actually remembered to bring Ford a globe (It only took seven years of asking), and gave him an iPhone, too. The phone was especially exciting because Dustin and I said we’d never buy him one. That was before the salesman at AT&T, working magic that I still don’t understand, lowered our monthly bill with the addition of another line. Otherwise, Santa would be in a heap of trouble for getting us into a contract. Two days after Christmas, we followed Dustin to Washington, D.C., where he’d be working over New Year’s, and where we keep a small (like, really small) apartment. We planned a trip to Monticello, and maybe a few days with my parents. But on the first day, we rested. We watched movies all day and played with new Christmas toys. I remember saying to Dustin, “It’s nice to have a

Sarah Smiley down day like this, but I can’t stay cooped up in the apartment all week.” About two hours later, I got sick—all over the only bathroom in the place. For the next two days, I was bedridden. The kids were living like “Home Alone” outside the one bedroom while Dustin worked all day. Pizza boxes piled up in the kitchen, and when Dustin came home at night, he had to do about four loads of laundry in the coin-operated machines down the hall. On Tuesday, once I was better, we were really ready for that trip to Monticello. That’s when Owen got sick—all over the only bathroom in the place. Two days and four loads of laundry later, Owen was feeling better. That’s when Lindell got sick. All over the only bath— Well, he never made it to the bathroom. Two days and four loads of laundry after that, it was time to drive back to Maine. That’s when Ford got sick. It was like a really sad ver-

sion of “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” On our way home, I had planned to stay at a hotel in Massachusetts that offers a big brunch and an indoor pool. It would be the consolation prize for having driven 12 hours to spend a week in the one-bedroom apartment. But when Ford got sick, I knew I had to cancel and possibly face financial penalties. Luckily, the woman on the phone let us cancel with a 100-percent refund. “I can’t thank you enough,” I told her. “Your kindness is a bright spot in a bad week.” Looking back on it, what I should have said to her is this: “I can’t thank you enough because I’m about to put a $550 phone in the washing machine, so I’m going to need that money.” I hung up the phone, stripped the bed and headed to the coin-operated laundry machine for what I hoped would be the last time. “All this laundry is getting really expensive,” Dustin said. At that very moment, we were shoving Ford’s brand new iPhone, lost in a tangled blanket, into the washer. When I got back to the apartment, Ford said he couldn’t find his phone. “Oh, I have this handy app called ‘Find my iPhone’,” I told him cheerfully. I few quick taps later, and the app was loading. “We’ll just click to update, and—“ Ford watched over my shoulder as the screen refreshed. My iPhone appeared first, in the apartment, where it should be. Dustin’s appeared next, right next to mine. And then Ford’s phone lit up—down the hall. “Does that seem like it’s near the washing—?” “Noooooooooooooooo!” I ran to the washing machine, but it was too late. The door was locked. On the app, Ford’s phone still glowed, until the last 10 minutes of the cycle, when it went black. “I hope Santa got insurance,” Dustin said. I looked at him and cried. I mean, who gets the insurance? (Moral of this story: get the insurance.) Ford handled the whole thing surprisingly well. Mostly, he was relieved the accident wasn’t his fault. Also, there was the hope that Chris from Chris Downs Computer Room could help. Lindell, however, didn’t understand what all the fuss was about. “Why is everyone so upset,” he said. “I mean, just be glad Santa bought the phone, not you.” Yes, well, there’s always that.

But now, he said, he is making people happy a different way — with music. “What we’re trying to do is bring back live, old music … vintage music,” Winslow said. Think 1920s-1940s jazz. Show-tune music. Fats Waller, Cole Porter and George Gershwin. He describes the band’s music as “spontaneous and lively and almost boisterous at times.” “Things you go home humming,” as Winslow puts it. “We don’t use any sheet music. It’s just all by ear.” The band, he said, has been around since 2003. That’s when Don Alverson, who plays piano for the band, got

NW wines win over judges at wine competition
A
merica’s largest wine competition grew even bigger, and Northwest wines continued to shine on the country’s largest stage. The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, Jan. 5-11, drew a record 6,400 entries from 23 states. About 60 wine professionals spent four days tasting, evaluating and rewarding each wine on its own merits.
NW WINES By ANDY PERDUE and ERIC DEGERMAN
Overall, wines from Washington, Oregon and Idaho won about 500 medals at the Chronicle wine competition, with 109 earning gold medals and nine of those rising to the status of “best of class.” A wine earns best of class when it is deemed the best wine in its group.
(Typically, about 40 wines of similar style, grape variety and/or price range will make up a class.) The best-of-class wines were: Canoe Ridge Vineyard 2013 Expedition Cabernet Sauvignon, Horse Heaven Hills, $15. This is an affordable red from a Walla Walla winery.

Continued from page 2 the ball rolling when he played at Whiskey Creek Restaurant in Keyport. The band played for years at Whiskey Creek and had about 120 diehard music fans that would come to see them play. That venue, however, was remodeled for a reality television program and the band found a new home at the Old Town Bistro in Silverdale for a couple of years. Since August, the band has made McCloud’s its home and members have been getting the word out on the new hot spot. “We’re still getting up to speed,” said Ricardo Vigil, the maitre d’ of the group. Vigil helps organize res-
ervations. He has slickedback black hair and he’s busy on jazz nights meeting with audience members and serving drinks. It’s mostly a five-piece band, but the actual number of people who contribute can vary a bit, including guest vocalists. Alverson, the pianist, was an executive for an electronic components company that served 11 western states before he retired. He’s played piano since he was 12. “Oh, I love it … we have a good time,” Alverson said. Dale Brown plays fourstring banjo and violin. “All five of us, we joke and kid with each other,” Brown said. Brown used to be in a traveling barbershop

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND REVIEW Man jumps from ferry: The crew of the Washington state ferry MV Puyallup saved a passenger who apparently attempted suicide by jumping into Puget Sound during a sailing from Bainbridge Island to Seattle the morning of Jan. 7. The ferry was on the 9:40 a.m. sailing from Bainbridge. The incident occurred at approximately 10:04 a.m., according to Coast Guard officials in Seattle. Petty Officer 3rd Class
Amanda Norcross of the U.S. Coast Guard 13th District External Affairs Office said the ferry crew was able to dispatch a small boat and save the man before the Coast Guard got to the scene. “The guy had jumped,” Norcross said. She said he reportedly told the ferry crew he was “tired of life.” Marta Coursey of Washington State Ferries said another passenger saw the man — described as a young male — go overboard as the ferry was approaching Seattle. A small boat was launched

But that quartet sound is still with him. “There’s a definite connection between barbershop quartets and the way that I play the banjo,” Brown said. Mick Nicholson plays bass and tuba. “I’ve been a musician all my life,” Nicholson said. Since the first grade at least.
He felt irresistibly drawn to what he calls the “beautiful, woody” sound of acoustic bass and cites famed American jazz bassist Charlie Haden as an influence. “We’re the unsung heroes,” Nicholson said of the low, foundational tones that bass players add to a band’s sound. Matt Stewart plays drums, which he described as the best and oldest instrument in the

The ferry was delayed 10 minutes by the incident, she said. The current temperature of the water in Puget Sound is approximately 45 degrees. Norcross said the man was in good physical condition and he was eventually turned over to Seattle police for transfer to Harborview Medical Center. — BainbridgeReview.com
suspected of burglarizing a construction site at Salvation Army on Sixth Street in Bremerton, 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

Yvonne McAllister, 93, plays trumpet for the band. “All my life it’s been music. That’s all I can say,” McAllister said. She started on the trumpet. She said her mother was the first trumpet player in Seattle. “My mother was a wonderful player,” McAllister said. McAllister was playing music for an Alaskan cruise line at the time World War II broke out. “It was wonderful fun,” she said of the cruise music work. The same band mem-

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. — BremertonPatriot.com

Aries: March 21 - April 19 Taurus: April 20 - May 20 Gemini: May 21 - June 20 Cancer: June 21 - July 22 Leo: July 23 - Aug. 22 Virgo: Aug. 23 - Sept. 22 Libra: Sept. 23 - Oct. 22 Scorpio: Oct. 23 - Nov. 21 Sagittarius: Nov. 22 - Dec. 21 Capricorn: Dec. 22 - January 19 Aquarius: Jan. 20 - Feb. 18 Pisces: Feb. 19 - March 20
t is still the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. Oh, yeah! We could wear tie-dyed T-shirts and have a sit-in, again because the times are not a changin’ that much, astrologically speaking. We (the people) made a ruckus that cracked society wide open for all people. Clearly, the good from that era needs re-energized to get back on track. The new moon in Aquarius on Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 5:14 a.m. combines with star-patterns that are absolutely historical! There are energetic line ups that haven’t been seen for thousands of years, or since the beginning of our coun-
try, or since the start of the industrial revolution. Cultures change with configurations like these. The stars are drumming with energy. What’s going on in the sky is mind-blowing and we will feel the wave, in both society and our personal lives. Aquarian energy can get bogged down with rebel-without-a-cause syndrome. But, if we focus ourselves to the spirit of brotherhood and the common good, there is an astral wind at our backs magnifying every small effort we make. What effort will you make? How do you want to use the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? We need everyone’s

good luck that day and we took some pictures with the fish we caught. I have one of Chuck and Charlie with a big fish that’s just really cute. I’d always meant to give it to him, but just never did.” Then, a few years later, Ellis moved to Yakima with Thermal Supply where he lived for several years before going to work for the post office. Eventually that job took him to Oregon. “Periodically, throughout the years, I tried to track him down,” Ellis said. “And then recently, I tried Facebook, but there are just so many Chuck Irelands on Facebook that that got me nowhere.” “Since I left the area, I haven’t heard anything about him,” Ellis said. “I can’t even remember the name of his company.” But the photos of that day are a reminder that he wants to put back in Ireland’s hands. He’s hoping a neighbor or a customer of Ireland’s may know where he is today. “It’s just such a cute picture of Charlie,” Ellis said. “By

CENTRAL KITSAP REPORTER Man searches for old friend: It’s a simple photo of a young boy fishing with his father. And Jeff Ellis wants to give it to them. But the problem is, he doesn’t know where Chuck Ireland and his son, Charlie, are. Ellis, who now lives in Rainier, Oregon, had become friends with Ireland in the 1980s when he worked in Tacoma at Thermal Supply. Ireland owned his own heating and air conditioning repair business in Silverdale and came to Thermal Supply to buy parts. The two men struck up a friendship and on a hot summer day in about 1985 or 1986, they went fishing on the Nisqually River. They took Ireland’s then 10-year-old son Charlie along with them. “It was a beautiful summer day,” Ellis said. “We had pretty

NORTH KITSAP HERALD Queen of Sheba towed to Bremerton: 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 to the Port of
down the middle, forging the way and inspiring us. Let the ideals of democracy and brotherhood be your guiding star. Your still, small voice needs attention. How about some good ol’ fashioned daydreaming or a nap? Capricorn, you have one job right now — take what is and make it better. Tell the truth about what must change and know you have the resources needed. Martin Luther King was a shining example of bringing a dream into reality, one step at a time. A few walls may come down but remodeling is good. Sagittarius, responsibility is headed your way. Be sure it is on the path you want to travel. Spreading ideas far and wide are on tap. If you have a message, get it out there: speak from your heart, write, launch websites, publish. No passion, yet? Travel or education could help find it. Leos are in for a month of interacting with others in equal partnerships. Be sure that what they bring to the party is equal to what you bring. Or do you need to step up your game? Your enthusiasm, generosity and warmth is your calling card right now. Remember even small steps move your personal renovation forward. Virgo, the daily grind — you know, routines,
co-workers, details, details, details (your finest area) need innovation to rework anything stuck. Your mind may be overly energized by Mercury, which retrogrades the day after the new moon. Go back over recent events to find the missing link. Your partner may not agree. Gemini, you know about Mercury retrograde. Let fresh winds blow through dogma and fantasies. Partnerships are in for a two year review. New skills, new adventures ... new partners? Are they supporting your work? And by the way, does your work make your heart sing? It needs to more than ever. Libra, the airy quality of the moment excites creativity, recreation and thoughts of romance. Do something against your norm. Think eccentric, weird, odd thoughts about how you express yourself and your affections. Are your co-workers pulling their weight? No pity party allowed ... poke them and get them moving. Taurus, some of Libra’s advice goes for you, too. But focus the “eccentric” in your professional life. It’s okay to have a wild idea or two so loosen up and see what ideas Mercury retrograde brings. The tension between steadiness and changes meets in you. Walk it off, little bull.
Cancer, find security this month in your closest relationship. Together, review family investments, wills and insurance. This is where Mercury retrograde shows up in your chart, so do your due diligence. This moon reaches back to the eclipse in October 2014. What were you trying to accomplish then? Get back to it if the holidays interrupted progress. Scorpio, funny, there’s something about spending time at home you find deeply transforming. You may find yourself particularly mellow and interested in fun. You did a ton of work the last two years and can tweak whatever didn’t get done over the summer. Play a little now. Pisces, you’ve done what you can over the last year. Let go of what you feel about what did and didn’t happen. Building blocks at work can lead to more impact later. Mars in Pisces brings fresh energy to your mission over the next five weeks so get busy and do what you can. You know, small things with great love. — Suzanne O’Clair is a practicing astrologer of 40 years who uses astrological charts to get more out of life.

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 var-
ious 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. — NorthKitsapHerald.com
County Sheriff ’s Office, reported that Kalac apparently slid a piece of cardboard between the door and wall to prevent it from locking. The victim suffered bruises and cuts to the head. Investigators reported the victim was a friend of Amber Lynn Coplin, 30, who Kalac is accused of killing inside a South Kitsap apartment on Nov. 4. Court documents state that Kalac pulled the other inmate off his bunk bed and began stomping him before the man pushed an emergency response button to alert corrections officers of the attack. An officer arrived at the cell and ordered Kalac to stop the assault. He complied with officer’s command. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Kalac was arrested Nov. 5 in Oregon, after Coplin’s body was discovered by her son and Kalac posted photographs of the murder scene online. — PortOrchardIndependent.com

THE KITSAP IMBIBE LOCAL BREWS, NEWS AND MORE
Bainbridge Organic Distillers double operation BY RICHARD D. OXLEY Kitsap Week
A
stream of spirits has run from Bainbridge Island for nearly five years thanks to Bainbridge Organic Distillers. Now, that stream is a river. Bainbridge Organic Distillers is the only organic distillery in the state, and is now in the process of expanding its operation, and increasing the flow of its gin, vodka and whiskey throughout Washington and beyond. “We’ve essentially doubled the space,” said Keith Barnes, owner of Bainbridge Organic Distillery. “We’ve taken over the second half of this building.” Walls are being taken down inside the building at Coppertop Park on Bainbridge Island. The additional space will be used to increase production. “We will be using it for maturation of whiskey and for a little bit of storage and other bottling
supplies and unfinished spirits,” Barnes said. “As we go through this new year, we will put some new equipment in there, some new fermentors and processing equipment.” The distillery currently has a 600-gallon still and a 500-gallon mash cooker and four 550-gallon open top fermentors. Barnes expects to add four more fermentors. He said adding another still may be possible, but he won’t decide on that until later this year. “The goal is definitely to have the increased equipment and running a second shift, and increase capacity of all products,” he said. Barnes said his goal is to double the distillery’s production by the end of 2015, with a target for producing 5,000-6,000 cases of spirits. The distillery chiefly produces its Bainbridge Legacy Organic Vodka, Bainbridge Heritage Organic Doug Fir Gin, and Bainbridge Battle Point Organic Whiskey. While its gin and vodka were more readily available in the past, the expansion could increase the distillery’s output of whiskey, which has only been available in limited releases. The whiskey
goes through a two-year aging process, however, so increased availably will take some time, Barnes noted. The expansion comes in tandem with other developments at the distillery. An increased marketing and sales effort began in January, and the distillery’s distribution is growing. Bainbridge organic spirits are currently available in Washington and California, but will soon be found in Oregon, Texas and Colorado. Barnes said he recently received interest from distributors in New York and Michigan as well. Followers of Bainbridge Organic Distillery can also look forward to some new spirits currently being crafted. Barnes is saying very little about the upcoming spirits, however, but did say that one is a bourbon. “It’s kind of got a local angle to it,” Barnes said of the bourbon. “It’s called ‘Whiskey 40 Saloon,’ named after the whiskey distillery that used to be above the Port Madison Mill here on the island. We are working on
the formula for that now. It will take some time to get it matured.” “We have another whiskey that is in barrels right now,” he said. “That’s an all barley whiskey. That also has a local angle.” The new spirits have a high standard to follow. Bainbridge Legacy Organic Vodka was named “World’s Best
Vodka” by the World Vodka Awards in April 2014. Battle Point Organic Whiskey won double gold and best of show at the American Distiller’s Festival in Portland, Oregon in November 2013. Battle Point Organic Whiskey was also honored in March 2014 with a

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
