the Sequim man, according to Trooper Russ Winger, and his actual name was not confirmed as of March 12.
James Norberg, 53, was driving the second vehicle with an unidentified 14-year-old passenger. Both were injured in the crash. Michele Laboda of North Kitsap Fire & Rescue said personnel had to use hydraulic extrication equipment in order to free Norberg and his passenger from
their car. Laboda said the 14-year-old was airlifted from Wolfle Elementary School to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with multisystem trauma. Laboda said Norberg was going to be airlifted to Harborview as well, but the See FATAL CRASH, Page A2

KINGSTON — The attorney for the family of a man killed in a collision with a North Kitsap Fire & Rescue engine on July 4 will propose a mediation session in which the family can “communicate” to the fire department’s attorney, insurance company and fire chief what the loss of their loved one has meant to them. “This is not an economic damages case. This is not a case involving future medical expenses, obviously,” said Rodney B. Ray, attorney for the family of Jason T. Foster. “Sandy Foster’s husband was killed. A dad was killed. A son was killed. A brother was killed. That’s something that doesn’t come across strongly in print. It comes across in the stories people tell.” Ray said his 10-page letter — 20 pages with exhibits — to NKF&R attorney Terence J. Scanlan of Skellenger Bender in Seattle doesn’t propose a settlement amount, only that both sides meet with a mediator so Foster’s family can share how they’ve been See JULY 4, Page A9

EATTLE — No matter how heavy each step becomes, no matter how labored each breath, no matter how much your legs ache, the incentive to keep going is looking at you at each landing, compelling you to push on to the next floor and the next and
the next. “On each floor, there’s a picture of someone with cancer,” said Taska Elin, a firefighter/ advanced EMT with Navy Region Northwest Fire & Emergency Services. “Some have gone through treatment, some have passed away. On each floor, you realize that no matter how much you’re hurt-
ing, somebody had it worse.” Elin, 52, was one of 1,711 firefighters to finish the Scott Firefighter Stairclimb on March 8 in downtown Seattle’s Columbia Center, the second-tallest building west of the Mississippi. Firefighters climbed 69 flights of stairs — that’s 1,311 steps and 788 feet See STAIRCLIMB, Page A7
POULSBO — The North Kitsap School District agreed to pay $850,000 to settle a lawsuit brought against them by a former student. The entirety of the settlement will be paid by the district’s insurance provider, Washington Schools Risk Management Pool. The plaintiff, who was 14 at the time of the alleged incident, filed a lawsuit against the school district, alleging the district was negligent and that her rights under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which help protect against gender discrimination in schools, were violated. The plaintiff alleged that her ninth-grade science teacher, William Thompson, gave her presents and kissed her, grooming her for a sexual relationship, during the 2006-07 school year. While being treated for a mental health issue in 2008, the girl told a counselor about the alleged misconduct. Thompson was placed on paid administrative leave and then resigned from the district in 2008 after he was charged with two counts of fourth-degree assault with sexual motivation and communicating with a minor for immoral purposes.

helicopter was delayed. Poulsbo Fir e Department paramedics transported Norberg to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton; he transferred to Harborview later that night. Harbor view spokeswoman Susan Gregg said Norberg and the teen were in the Intensive Care Unit in serious but stable condition, as of morning March 12. The teenager’s condition was improving and she was expected to be moved soon out of ICU, Gregg said. A witness said the Sequim driver’s 1994 Toyota Camry was headed westbound on the highway when he crossed over the center line and collided with the other vehicle, Norberg’s black 1994 Jeep Cherokee, at the intersection of Highway 104 and Parcells Road. The crash occurred at about 7:47 p.m. The collision caused both cars to spin; the Camry came to rest in the center of the intersection and the Jeep stopped at the eastbound shoulder of the road. None of the people involved were wearing seat belts, according to Washington State Patrol. The cause of the crash was under investigation on March 11, but Trooper Russ Winger said the initial cause is “crossing the center line.” He added that there was potential for drugs or alcohol being involved, but that won’t be known until after an autopsy and toxicology are completed.
Kitsap’s third fatal crash in 2015 The crash is believed to be the third fatal crash in Kitsap this year as of March 11. Three Olympic High School students were killed in a single-car rollover crash on Seabeck-Holly Road NW on Jan. 11. The 17-year-old driver received a 45- to 108-week sentence; he admitted driving too fast and having smoked marijuana earlier that day. On March 11, an Aberdeen woman died in Tacoma General Hospital from injuries sustained when her car crashed March 5 on Burley-Olalla Road. North Kitsap Herald: Top of the news, every Friday.

Settlement
Continued from page A1 was acquitted by a jury in 2009. Attempts to reach Thompson by phone were unsuccessful by press time. The Herald left messages on his phone message machine on March 11 and 12. After he was acquitted in 2009, he told the Herald, “All they had to do was talk to some of my colleagues at the school. Just do some investigation on this and it wouldn’t have gotten to where it’s at.” He added, “Teachers just have to be so extremely careful in this climate, the way it is these days. I wouldn’t wish this on anybody.” The plaintiff filed the lawsuit against the district in 2013. The suit alleged that the district was negligent in not terminating Thompson after performing an investigation on him, based on another student’s similar allegations, during the
NorthKitsapHerald.com
1999-2000 school year. The human resources director who investigated ultimately found the accusations to likely be true and recommended termination, according to the plaintiff’s lawyer, Micah LeBank of Connelly Law Offices. Then-superintendent Gene Medina decided not to fire Thompson. “I would say that it was a situation where the school district took a teacher’s word over a student and over that of its own female human resources director who did the investigation herself,” LeBank said. The lawsuit stated that failing to take the recommended disciplinary action against Thompson as a result of that investigation put her and other female students at risk. “This was an important case for [her] to bring, and she was very courageous in pursuing it,” LeBank said in a prepared statement. “The (school) district ignored the findings and rec-
ommendations by its own human resources director and harbored a dangerous teacher. Had the district done its job, [she] never would have been abused.” Beth Worthington, president of the North Kitsap School Board, said the settlement was reached “without any admission of fault by the district.” Worthington said the district opted to settle out of court to “avoid the disruption and distraction of the trial,” which would involve witness testimony. Charles Leitch, one of the school district’s attorneys with Patterson Buchanan Fobes & Leitch, Inc., said “the fact that it was all the parties’ best interest to solve it” was another reason they wanted to reach a settlement. Leitch said the claim the plaintiff filed “was for millions of dollars.” “That settlement represents a compromise of that original
Page A3
demand,” Leitch said. LeBank said, “In my opinion, the district wanted to get the case settled. I don’t think things were going to go very well for them in trial.” LeBank added, “I think the goal was to achieve justice for the student and to help ensure that these types of things don’t happen again in the future, and I think the settlement helps that.” Leitch said the resolution of the lawsuit was “appropriate.” “I know the district is happy with the conclusion, as they can concentrate further on the educational mandate and their goals for the student population,” he said. He added, “Any time you have an allegation of this nature, it’s a troubling case. It’s a difficult subject matter and it’s one the district takes very seriously. Altogether, it’s been hard for the district as much as it’s been hard for the plaintiff, and I think we’re all happy with the resolution.”

IN OUR OPINION
A way to honor education’s best and brightest S
o the story goes, the Rangvald Kvelstad Teacher of the Year Award Foundation was founded in the 1980s after several local school levies failed at the polls. The idea behind the foundation: Let voters know about the good work that teachers do, what they are doing to prepare young people for life, how they meet the challenges of teaching amid economic, political and social changes, their place in the circle of American life: that well-educated students means a more competitive workforce and engaged citizenry, which means a healthier economy and stronger communities. Since the award’s inception and the telling of those stories, not one local school levy has failed at the polls. The Teacher of the Year Award is no popularity contest. Over the years, through this award and the stories of its recipients, we’ve learned about the innovations that teachers bring to the classroom. Going the extra mile is no cliché; we’ve seen to what lengths a teacher will go to engage students, help them overcome obstacles, help them discover and reach new heights in their academic and personal growth. The Teacher of the Year Award has been good for local education and for the public – a way to cast a brighter light on ideas and innovations in use in the classroom. You can help tell the story. Nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Rangvald Kvelstad Teacher of the Year Award. Nomination forms are available at chamber of commerce offices, grocery stores and public and private schools within the North Kitsap School District boundaries. They are also available online on the Rangvald Kvelstad Teacher of the Year Foundation Facebook page. An award, which comes with a $500 prize, will be given to one primary-school teacher and one secondary-school teacher. A nominated teacher must be an accredited full-time or parttime teacher in a public or accredited private school located within the North Kitsap School District boundaries; have five or more years of teaching experience; and have three or more years of teaching experience in a North Kitsap-area school. Complete the nomination form and submit it by April 15. Nominators are encouraged to obtain letters of reference that can provide additional information in support of the nomination. The basic criteria for selecting the Teacher of the Year are: 1. Diligence. Alertly detects any child who is becoming disconnected, learn the cause and fashion a solution that restores the child’s interest in being an active learner. 2. Professionalism. The teacher’s professionalism and expertise. 3. Community involvement. The teacher’s efforts to include the community in the educational process, i.e., enlarging and enriching the educational experience through community involvement. Nominees will be profiled in an upcoming edition of the North Kitsap Herald and the Kingston Community News, and on those newspaper’s websites. The winners will be announced in May. Questions?

LETTERS In support of half-day, full-day kindergarten We accept that not every child should be expected to walk, talk or be potty-trained at the same age; each child is unique in his/her maturation and development. Brain research reinforces that learning is most effective when differentiated for each child. Therefore, expecting all 5-yearolds to be prepared to enroll in full-day kindergarten, without also offering a half-day option, reinforces a “one size fits all” mentality not likely to cultivate the joyful learning experience every kindergartner deserves. Many preschools offer programs of two-to-three days per week, for two-to-four hours per session. Expecting all children to be ready to transition from varied preschool experiences to full-day kindergarten at age 5 is ignoring the likelihood that many of them
will not be ready. Schools should respect children’s different needs and respond accordingly. Placing all 5-year-olds into the same “mold,” especially with the added academic pressure of the Common Core, will likely result in producing some frustrated, unhappy kindergartners. Diminishing a child’s innate love of learning at any age is sad; doing
so at age 5 is truly heartbreaking. Why the rush? Give children whatever time they need to learn on their own developmental schedules with time to play, to move, to create and to explore. Offering half-day kindergarten in addition to full-day is one good way to do so. TRISH KING The Island School Bainbridge Island
Our lives are fodder for the future H
istory is the fodder that feeds the future. It is the collective memories of events, ideas, movements and objects that build a family, a community, a nation or a world. The value of those memories lies with the focus they provide for the truths we hold important to the way we function. Adoptees may be drawn to seek their biological roots, not necessarily to forge a relationship with their living relatives but to understand themselves. What makes them tick, what gives them their personality and identity? What are the forces in their subconscience that drive them to be the way they are? Adults often treasure a favorite toy from childhood and, if they have lost that toy, may go out and buy an identical one. It’s not the value of the toy that draws them, but the security or joy or stability that the toy represents. So it is with artifacts in a museum. People are drawn to
NOW AND THEN By JUDY DRISCOLL remembrances of what they have experienced or held dear. Visiting a museum stimulates a forgotten past and helps us focus on the things that are important to us. How often have we walked through an antique store and been struck by something from our childhood? Antique dealers are banking on the fact that we will be drawn to purchase those things that “call out” from the shelves. A museum provides us with a place to reconnect with the past without purchasing an item bound to take up space in the attic or garage. We don’t have to dust or repair memories. Museum hours should be posted as visitation hours — those times when you can visit the relics of your past and reconnect with the memories

Grim reality of sexual exploitation in Kitsap Sheriff: Everyone must participate ‘to increase awareness and join the fight’ Herald correspondent
KINGSTON — A vulnerable runaway teen will be approached by a pimp within 48 hours of being on the street, according to Shared Hope International. Pimps have an innate ability to identify the most vulnerable children. “There are kids being trafficked out of every school in Kitsap County,” said Victoria Ahlfors, a former victim of sexual exploitation, “and that’s the truth.” Those were the grim messages presented at a seminar on sexual exploitation, March 5 at North Kitsap Fire & Rescue. The event was the result of the effort of many people — including Soroptimist International of Greater North Kitsap and of Greater Bremerton, OurGEMS, Scarlet Road and local law enforcement. Approximately 70 people attended. The purpose: to increase awareness of human trafficking in the region, and to discuss ways to stop it. The event included a screening of the movie “Chosen,” about sexual exploitation in Kitsap County. “Everyone — men, women, service providers and our entertainment world — must participate to increase awareness and join the fight to overcome the exploitation of these victims,” Sheriff Gary Simpson said. “These are our sisters, our children … that are being dragged into this evil environment.” Children as young as 10 are being targeted for sexual exploitation, with children in grades 8-10 the most targeted, according to information presented at the seminar. The offense of “Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking” is the act of forcing children and teens into sexual slavery, Simpson said. This can include child pornography, prostitution, and sexual entertainment, such as is found in strip clubs. Bremerton Police Sgt. Randy Plumb said, “We want to collaborate with local and federal agencies to send the message to Kitsap County: This is not the place to do this. We have got to be publicly
“In five minutes, I can pick out the most vulnerable girls from a crowd. In the next five minutes, I need to find out who’s hunting them.”
Victoria Ahlfors, co-founder of Scarlet Road: “We build women up and give her strength so she can be what she was created to be.” Sophie Bonomi / Herald
— Victoria Ahlfors, Scarlet Road
involved; we need to be outraged about this.” Simpson added, “These are not victimless crimes. Our culture’s perspective and the movies we watch are far from reality. The victims of human trafficking are always subject to assaults, threats, fear, intimidation as well as being enslaved to drug addiction. Their participation is far from voluntary.” Ahlfors is the co-founder of Scarlet Road, a local non-profit organization established in 2008 to help victims of sexual exploitation in Kitsap County. “The term ‘human trafficking’ is in the media a lot, but we prefer the term ‘sexual exploitation.’ Trafficking doesn’t always happen, however, exploitation always does. It is clear and keeps a wider spectrum.”
Ahlfors explained how Scarlet Road assists victims. “We work to gain their trust and help them to tell their story. We walk with our clients until they are able to stand on their own two feet. When a girl moves, we move with her.” Her job as an outreach worker is to find victims and help them escape. “In five minutes, I can pick out the most vulnerable girls from a crowd. In the next five minutes, I need to find out who’s hunting them.” Ahlfors said of the tragedy of sexual exploitation, “I see the brokenness of [the sex] industry against humanity. It turns people into products and takes away their value as human beings. It pulls women away from their human life and puts a dollar sign on it.” Harriette Bryant and Vicki M. Collins are pres-

ident and vice president, respectively, of OurGEMS, or Girls Empowered through Mentoring and Service. They explained how their organization helps young women overcome difficult circumstances. All of the GEMS programs are based on their philosophy that each girl and young woman is deserving of respect. “If girls learn to feel like gems, they will not accept certain behaviors,” Bryant said. Among other things, OurGEMS teaches etiquette and promotes the importance of education. “Young men need to remember the culture of gentility is not gone,” Collins said. When asked what community members can do to help, Kitsap County Prosecuting Attorney’s
investigator Natalie Mays said one way is to donate clothing and bedding. “In many situations, once a girl is rescued from this lifestyle she can not return back to retrieve her things,” Mays said. “It’s far too dangerous.” Donations can be made at the Kingston and Silverdale locations
of Lucky Star Clothing Consignment, under the account “Scarlet Road.” Mentors are also needed, to be a stable and trustworthy companion for those recovering from exploitation. And, officials said, spread the news. Simpson said he hopes to continue making presentations throughout the region. “There are 280,000 people in Kitsap County, and around 50 people in this room,” Plumb said, “We need you to spread the news about this important issue.” Event organizer Audrey Wolf said she has a wait list of people who want to host seminars in Bainbridge Island and South Kitsap. HOTLINE: If you or someone you know needs help, call the Scarlet Road hotline, 360-850-9718.

History
Continued from page A4 the past provided? As our society grows more disconnected, whether through physical separation or through the virtual reality of technology that, while seeming to draw us together can actually make us less relational, the importance of the community mind is taking a back seat. Our community is forgetting its roots, those things it held valuable. From 1886 to 1960, it would have been hard to find a family that didn’t go to church on Sundays and that often attended mid-week activities at the church. Having a grocery store open on Sundays would have been rare. People drew strength from being together and sharing the truths which formed the boundaries that kept them together as a community. Walk through your neighborhood on a Sunday morning today, and you will probably be hard-pressed to find a family away at church. Television, sporting
events, movies, video games and “hanging out” may fill our need to be together, but do they provide the moral and spiritual food that our inner selves crave? It is odd that the very things that should have drawn us closer — all of our iPads and iPods, instant communication without having to wait a week for a letter or racing home to get a phone call — are creating a virtual world where we don’t have to be together with people, relating face to face, but can instead relate from the safety mask of whatever media screen we’re currently viewing. An eye to eye twinkle and sharing of a story has been replaced by “LOL” and emoticons — which, while fun, can never replace a personal encounter. We can be “unfriended” in an instant without having to go through the pain of breaking a relationship; we just disappear from the screen and hide in cyberspace. It has become easier to sit back and play video games or criticize what is taking place in society via
social media and insist that someone (other than ourselves) should do something about it, than it is to apply for a seat on a city council or school board, or become a member of a service organization, or volunteer time with a social agency, or do any number of things that would bring us into a closer relationship with our community. Beware of becoming a society so remote from the past that the collective memory is locked in a vault tended by a conservator who determines what can and can’t be remembered, as in the popular book/movie “The Giver.” In “Interstellar,” hero Cooper, trapped in a fifth dimension, realizes that as much as he wants to go back to his home and family to enjoy the relatedness he craves, it will not solve the problems of the future, which propelled him into outer space. He is wise enough to use his connectedness with the past as his strength for facing the future. Un-relatedness is not just a Poulsbo problem. The virus has infected
our nation, but the answer won’t come by national decree, the answer will come individually to those who determine to know their past and take strength from those truths to build the future. That is the gift a historical society and museum can provide for the community. It can be a repository of the artifacts and memories of a community where the elders can come to reconnect with the past, and be re-vitalized, assured that their legacy will continue in the life of the community. It can feed youth by inspiring them with the ingenuity and spirit of the former generations who carried that communal strength into planning the future. It can provide a starting point for the newcomer to learn about their new home and know what makes the community tick, so they can be a vital cog in the wheel that keeps the community moving. The Poulsbo Historical Society seeks to gather, preserve and exhibit the artifacts and memories of Poulsbo and North Kitsap,

City wants public input on parks’ future POULSBO — The City of Poulsbo is reaching out to residents for feedback about its parks. The results may play into how the city plans its parks and other programs in the future. The Parks and Recreation Department is specifically asking Poulsbo residents to complete an online survey. The questionnaire takes about seven-10 minutes. It will be active until April 8 at www.surveymonkey. com/s/2JBC7PM. A paper version of the survey is available from Parks and Recreation Director Mary McCluskey, 360-394-9772 or mmcclus key@cityofpoulsbo.com. The survey's results will be used as the city updates its Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan throughout 2015. The plan guides funding and improvements to parks and recreation programs for six years.

Have A Safe Easter Holiday for All Including the Pets Holidays create a few extra trips to the vet clinics for various reasons. Easter candies are one of the top reasons. Chocolate is not good for any pet and can be fatal. Candy is high in sugar and the foil wrapping can cause damage to the esophagus and intestines. The Easter ‘grass’ does not digest and can wrap around the intestines requiring surgery. Try shredded paper instead. And those eggs, real or plastic! Be sure to pick up all your hidden eggs after egg hunts. Real eggs spoil quickly. The plastic eggs may shatter after being stepped on or mowed over, please pickup the pieces and the candy. Easter lilies are beautiful but are extremely toxic to pets, especially cats. Have a safe Easter and more time spent outdoors.

$1.97 million for blood-cancer research and patient services. This year’s event reportedly raised $1.5 million. Elin finished the climb in 56 minutes 19 seconds. “It’s an honor to do it,” Elin said. “There are so many people we know or are associated with who have cancer. Those pictures help put us in touch with it – people of all ages, all professions.” She added, “I’m not doing it for the competi-
tion, I’m doing it for those who are suffering.” Elin’s fitness regimen contributed to her ability to accomplish this feat. She works out three to five times a week, and every year participates in two half-marathons and what she calls two “main events.” One of them is the stairclimb. “It gives me something to train for,” she said.

Navy Region Northwest Fire & Emergency Services came in 133rd with a team-total time of 1:04:38. “While Kitsap firefighters’ athletic performances were certainly impressive, it’s also important to note that the teams from the three departments — Navy Region Northwest, Poulsbo Fire and NKF&R — have raised nearly $18,000 to support the work of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society,” NKF&R public information officer Michele Laboda wrote. “They are still accepting donations until the end of
this month. To check on their fundraising progress or make a donation, you can go to www.llswa.org and input the name of the team. “Here at NKF&R, we have some personal connections with the diseases that LLS fights. Among these: the death of our firefighter/paramedic Tom Kenyon in 1997 while awaiting bone marrow transplant in his second battle against leukemia. Against all odds, [he] had just become a father for the first time. His daughter, Amanda, was just six months old when Tom died. Amanda and her mother, Leanne, regularly attend the stairclimb to cheer on our team and others.” Laboda added, “Just last April, my own brother died at age 50 from a stroke caused by a blood disease that’s among those being studied by the LLS — polycythemia vera.”

In an earlier interview, he would not comment on the case. “Thank you for your inquiry; unfortunately, we have no comment as this matter is under review,” Scanlan wrote to the Herald. “Thank you for your consideration.” Ray was reviewing a draft of the letter on March 11 and said he expects it to be sent by the end of the week. He said the prosecuting attorney’s decision to not charge or cite the fire engine driver, a volunteer firefighter, will not affect the Foster family’s case. He said he was surprised by the prosecuting attorney’s decision, announced the night before in a press release. “I was surprised by that,” Ray said. “There were no contributing circumstances by Jason. He was driving well below the speed limit. I don’t know why criminal charges were not filed ... Case law is clear — when you fail to yield the right of way, you’re negligent.” A Kitsap County Sheriff’s investigator found the

engine driver “failed to give right of way” and, in a 303page investigation report, recommended he be cited for failure to “keep right except when passing, etc.” The firefighter tested positive for cannabinoids, according to a Washington State Patrol toxicology report included in the investigation. A blood draw was taken and he was found to have a Carboxy-THC level of 6.3 nanograms per milliliter of blood drawn. The chemical is non-active and stays in a person’s system for “several days,” according to the report. Active, or Hydroxy, THC is what causes impairment and euphoria; that was not in the driver’s blood, according to the report. “While [the] toxicology report does indicate that there was carboxy-THC in his system, there was no evidence that he was under
the influence or impaired in any way by any drug,” the prosecutor’s office announced in the March 10 press release. After reviewing the evidence, Kitsap County Prosecutor Tina Robinson “determined there was not sufficient evidence to prove that any crime had been committed.” Robinson told the Herald on March 11 that she did not plan to cite the firefighter with a driving infraction. She called the crash “a very tragic accident.” According to the investigator’s report: The fire engine was returning from a structure fire. The occupants — the firefighter behind the wheel and a fire lieutenant in the passenger seat — stopped at NKF&R headquarters on Miller Bay Road to resupply the engine, and were returning to Station 85 on South Kingston Road.

The engine came to a full stop in the southbound left-turn lane of Miller Bay Road, waiting to turn onto West Kingston Road. The firefighter began to make a left turn, but stopped when he saw two bicyclists approaching the intersection in the northbound lane. As he waited, all lights for southbound Miller Bay Road turned yellow. The bicyclists made a hard stop on their end of the intersection. Lights then turned red for southbound traffic. “That’s when I looked up, saw that the yellows had gone completely red … and started to move forward, took my foot off the gas and immediately [the lieutenant] said ‘stop’ and that’s when I looked back up at the bicyclists,” the firefighter told investigators. At that point, the cyclists told investigators, Foster passed them on their left

“Based on my investigation, the fire engine was not legally standing and failed to give right of way to [Foster] by being left of the center line by approximately 3.6 feet,” the traffic investigator wrote. NKF&R Fire Chief Dan Smith said the firefighter had returned to duty but was shaken up by the fatal collision. He later resigned when he was offered another job in Seattle. Smith said the department was shaken up by the fatal crash as well. “It’s a tragedy. It’ll always be that way for us,” Smith said of Foster’s death. “It’s difficult to express in some kind of words how that is, that we would be involved in something that is the opposite of what we do.” Smith said he “would certainly participate” in a mediation session with the family.

and entered the intersection. The engine was at a complete stop when Foster’s scooter crashed into it, according to the investigation report. The investigator determined that when Foster first observed the fire engine, the engine was fully in the left turn lane. When he went around the cyclists, the engine moved and crossed the center line. By the time Foster saw the engine again, it had moved into the northbound lane. The light is yellow for 4.5 seconds before turning red. That means Foster was in the intersection in the middle of the light’s cycle and had the legal right-of-way. According to the investigation report, the fire engine was approximately 3.6 feet in the oncoming lane — northbound Miller Bay Road — when Foster’s scooter crashed into the front left of the engine.

Artist Richard Jesse Watson visits Wolfle Elementary to encourage students’ creativity

INGSTON — Richard Jesse Watson visited Wolfle Elementary School on March 10, and it was “awesome.” At least, that’s how the students who attended his assemblies felt. Watson is an author and illustrator from Port Townsend; his 14 books include Clement C. Moore’s “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” “The High Rise Glorious Skittle Skat Roarious Sky Pie Angel Food Cake” and his own “The Magic Rabbit.” He often takes the time to visit schools for interactive assemblies with students, during which he talks about his creative process, how he comes up with his characters, and the steps he takes to create the illustrations in his books. He then invites the students to spend time drawing their own characters. He hosted three assemblies at Wolfle Elementary, one for first- and second-graders, one for thirdand fourth-graders, and one for fifth-graders. He also held a short presentation for kindergartners. “I love to encourage kids to express themselves through poetry or writing or art or sculpture or music or whatever,” Watson said. “Sometimes, you have to express something, and if you can express it verbally, that’s great. But some kids aren’t able to articulate what they’re going through, either their struggles or their pain or their dreams. But drawing … is just kind of an effective way to help them process reality.” Watson works primarily on children’s books, enjoying the opportunity to “make literature accessible to kids.” He added, “Kids are my peeps. I just like to see their enthusiasm.” Wolfle librarian Kathee McNeely-Mobley said elementary schools in

the North Kitsap School District frequently host author visits. This assembly, funded by the Northwest Literacy Foundation, the school and the PTA, was the first interactive one at this school. McNeely-Mobley said author assemblies are
important for students because “it’s wonderful for them to see normal people doing things that they might not have thought that they could do.” “Any kids, all kids, the more experiences they have, the wider their outlook is, the more capable
they feel themselves, the more they’re going to take a risk … try something themselves,” she said. Learning specialist Stephanie Pugh added, “It gives the kids the opportunity to see where their ideas can go, and that … there’s no right or wrong answers when it comes to writing a story or drawing pictures.” The students drew a variety of things, from pterodactyls to gingerbread men, from SpongeBob to radioactive
spiders. “They have the freshest thinking in the world, young people,” Watson said. “That’s why I do it.” Watson said that pressure to get students to excel in science and math has resulted in art being “kind of drained out of the schools.” But he feels that science, math, drawing and writing can co-exist. “There’s so much creativity that can cross-pollinate between genres,” he said, “and a lot of great
scientists had multiple disciplines, like Leonardo da Vinci.” Watson said he loves to encourage creativity in children and adults. At the assemblies, many of the students said their favorite part was getting to draw. “Kids need a lot of compassion and understanding, but also opportunities to explore and express themselves,” Watson said. “This is one of the best ways of doing that.”

She and two other boxers from the Bainbridge Island Boxing Club hope to qualify for the U.S. competitive team. Luciano Marano / Bainbridge Island Review and reputation for quality fights. It’s a three-day, 16-person elimination tournament, Little said. There’s up to 16 people per weight class. If the bracket is full, a kickboxer who makes it to the finals will fight three times in two days (the first day is mostly weigh-ins and acclimation). Fighters who beat all three of their opponents earn a spot on the national competitive team and the chance to represent America in international tournaments throughout
the year. Little said he and his fighters are keeping things in perspective and training hard — at least six days a week, three hours a day. “A lot of it is, we just want to see where we land,” he said. “It’s hard for us to find good competition locally, and basically having someone invite us out, this was the best thing that ever happened to us.” Ashabi and Swanson agreed that, though they may be nervous now, they will be more than ready for
their first fights. “Nothing makes me happy like this sport does,” Swanson said. “I love the competition, I love the challenge. I love how it keeps me in shape. It’s the best exercise I’ve ever had.” Ashabi, a sophomore at North Kitsap High School, began training when she was 14, though she was already the recognized champion of her household. “I was really strong,” Ashabi said. “I would beat up my brother and he’d be like, ‘Ow, this actually
hurts!’ ... It’s actually true. I have kind of a weird strength.” Ashabi said she took a cardio-kickboxing class when she was 13 with her mother, and it was there that she was encouraged to pursue the sport more seriously. What makes a potential champion kickboxer? Like any sport, Little said, enough dedication will get an athlete physically ready, but in the making of a champion there’s always an “X” factor. “All three of them, just when you start to think you might be beating them — when you hit them harder — that’s when they actually turn it up and they come out twice as hard,” he said. “Once their cage is rattled, they actually come back with more intensity, which, as a life skill, is probably the best thing you can learn in life: resilience. When the chips are down, instead of giving up, fight twice as hard.” The boxing club is raising money on gofundme. com (www.gofundme.com/ lquohg) to assist the fighters with tournament-related costs. Little said the trio greatly appreciates the community’s outpouring of support. As of March 12, they remained only $150 short of their $6,000 goal. Funds were contributed by 36 donors in one month.

Port funds permits for expansion of liveaboards By RICHARD D. OXLEY
zEttY vs. pORt
roxley@northkitsapherald.com
POULSBO — The Port of Poulsbo has spoken plenty about increasing the number of boat slips for liveaboards for more than a year. Now it’s putting money toward the effort. The port’s three-member commission approved funding for its permit application fees with the City of Poulsbo, March 5. The money will go toward permit fees as the city considers the port’s request. “They approved the expenditure, so we will be moving forward,” Port Manager Brad Miller said. “I’ve been given the green light to submit the application. “We’re looking at an expenditure along the lines of $35,000 for impact fees and application fees. [Commissioners] approved more, around $40,000. They approved more than enough to cover it.” Miller will submit the application within two weeks, he said, and it could take until the end of summer to get a final decision about increasing the number of liveaboard boat slips
n Port awarded court costs. — NorthKitsapHerald.com
from 12 to 25. Liveaboards are residents who live aboard their boats full-time. The application will be checked by both the city and the state’s Department of Ecology. Miller is waiting for two pieces of paperwork before submitting the application. First, the North Kitsap School District will outline the impact fees it will charge as part of the permitting process. Second, the city must approve an interlocal agreement. The interlocal agreement was pivotal for the port to move forward with permitting. The city’s main concern with the increase in liveaboard slips was with limited downtown parking. The port has worked out a plan to alleviate the city’s concerns. “It’s pretty simple,” Miller said. “We will provide vehicle information for each liveaboard to the police department. As they do their regular parking enforcement, if they issue
a ticket to one of our liveaboards, then they will inform us.” “Then we would take
care of disciplinary action on our end,” he said. “We would review the liveaboard status of that person
and possibly revoke that status, depending on how often they are getting tickets.”
The port will provide its liveaboards free parking at its downtown parking lot on Jensen Way.

ooking back, it’s hard to imagine that a little gambling is what made local Raymond Gendreau the photographer he is today. Gendreau served aboard the USS
Roosevelt in the Mediterranean Sea for a year in the early ’70s. It was on board that he developed a penchant for placing lucky bets on poker games. Rather good, he often won. With newfound riches, he found himself in the ship store purchasing his very first camera.

It took just one shutter click and he fell in love. “Every time we went to port, I went out to photograph,” he said. “I got really hooked on it.” With iconic historic sites at his disposal, such as Naples, Italy, it’s no wonder he fell in love with the images
he could capture. After 2½ years in the Navy, he got out and obtained a photography degree from the University of Central Florida. Upon graduation, he started scoring clients and corporations who wanted See PHOTOG, Page 8

ing Traditions,” contains approximately 20 relatively new works by the master carver and also features the works of several of the artist’s friends and colleagues, including Joe David, David Franklin, Marvin Oliver, and Loren White. Pasco is nationally recognized for his Northwest Coast
Native-style carvings. He teaches and lectures on the art form around the country. “I didn’t realize when I was fooling around with it as a hobby that it was actually a serious art form,” Pasco said of his early carving attempts, done to emulate the Native works he had seen. “I’d seen it, but I didn’t know how to read it.” He added, “There are a lot of art forms in the world that you don’t really appreciate them for what they are until you study and learn [or] somebody shows you how to see it.” After much time, practice and learning, Pasco’s carvings have become widely known. Pasco cites an overall decrease in the Native population of the region, as well as pressure from the federal government and various religious groups, with the decline of Northwest Native art by the mid-20th century. “It had died out, the traditional stuff had died out,” he said. “Any art that was done was done for ceremony. There was no other reason to do it. Then, when the ceremony was outlawed, there went the art.” By the time he became aware of the craft that would come to dominate his creative life, Pasco said there was a bit of a Native art See AROUNDKITSAP, Page 3

renaissance going on. “In the ‘60s it started a revival, slow coming, and by the early ’70s it was growing fast,” he remembered. Since then, of course, the art form has received the official and widespread recognition it deserves, as has Pasco himself. To learn more about Pasco and his work, visit www. duanepasco.com/wp.

BREMERTON PATRIOT Red light cameras costing city: Red light cameras cost the City of Bremerton $81,013 in 2014, despite issuing more than 6,600 tickets and collecting $533,751, according to Councilwoman Leslie Daugs. The cameras are owned by RedFlex Traffic Systems, based in Phoenix. The city pays RedFlex $432,000 per year for the service. After paying RedFlex, the city was left with a revenue of $101,751. That money quickly disappeared after the city paid an estimated $48,100 in labor costs to police and courts, according to Daugs. The bulk of the expense came from dismissed tickets. If the court dismisses a red light ticket, the city pays for it. Last year, the city paid $134,664 to cover 1,086 dismissed red light tickets. The high number of tickets appear to be the result of a loophole: If the ticketed driver claims he or she wasn’t driving, the ticket is dismissed, leaving the city to foot the bill. Mayor Patty Lent disputes Daugs’ figures, claiming they don’t account for the number of accidents prevented by RedFlex cameras. — BremertonPatriot.com
CENTRAL KITSAP REPORTER Silverdale Albertsons converts to Haggen grocery store: On March 6,
Friday, March 13, 2015 Haggen Food & Grocery began converting the Silverdale Albertsons into a Haggen store. By March 7, the store reopened with Haggen signage. The Silverdale Albertsons is one of 146 stores in five states that Haggen has acquired as a result of a divestment process brought about by the Federal Trade Commission’s review of the Albertsons LLC and Safeway merger. The acquisitions mean Haggen will grow from 18 stores with 2,000 employees to 164 stores with more than 10,000 employees, located in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and Arizona. — CentralKitsapReporter. com
NORTH KITSAP HERALD New apprentice for Little Boston totem pole project: Adam Charles stopped by to check on his aunt, Ellen Price, about three weeks ago, and saw his cousins working on something under a covered area, and asked, “What are you doing?” The next thing he knew, he had an adze in his hand and was helping to carve out the back of a 15-foot totem pole that will be raised at Point Julia this spring. Charles, 15, is now his cousin Jimmy Price’s apprentice and part of a new generation of S’Klallam carvers. With each stroke of the adze, with the removal of each fragrant strip of cedar, he’s part of a continuum — the latest in a line of carvers who have told the S’Klallam story through art since before memory. The pole is one of two commissioned in 2014 by the S’Klallam Foundation. One, by S’Klallam artist Brian Perry, is scheduled to be raised at Heronswood Gardens on March 14. Price’s pole will be raised at Point Julia in May. On top of Price’s pole will be a figure with a cedar hat who will watch over fishermen and women as they head out to sea. Below that figure will be a killer whale, a symbol of the S’Klallam people. At the bottom will be an octopus holding a crab, representing sea life.
S’Klallam carver Jimmy Price watches as his cousin, Adam Charles, uses an adze to carve out the back of a log that will become a totem pole for Point Julia. Richard Walker Price will measure the sections for the watchman, the killer whale and the octopus. Next, he’ll sketch and block it out. Then, the carving, meticulously using adzes, straight knives, curved knives and other tools to help the watchman, killer whale and octopus emerge from this ancient cedar. Price expects the pole will be completed in two to three months. Price, 37, apprenticed under his wife’s uncle, master carver Joe Ives. He lists Ives, Lloyd Fulton, Floyd Jones, and Jake Jones as the most influential S’Klallam carvers today. — NorthKitsapHerald.com

Kitsap community. “I think it’s great. There is nothing like it in Port Orchard,” he said. “It brings an entity to the area that we have never had with new dynamics of fresh and local products.” He added, “It’s bringing a local-based company and bringing them into the area and try to grow. It will be a great thing for the community. It brings a fresh set of
merchandise to the area.” There are more than 90 people employed at the current store. “They rely on this store,” he said. “They are excited and happy. I have people here a year to 40 years with the company that are ready to jump over to Haggen and give it another shot.” Waldbillig said it was a big step for Haggen to purchase

so many stores. “They were excited to get all the existing staff to stay and bring us all on and take care of everybody,” he said. With the store opening, Haggen plans to partner with five local non-profits and donate $1,000 to a single organization on the first day the store opens and 2 percent of sales to the other four groups on four consecutive Saturdays. Haggen will convert 21 more stores across Washington in March and June. In March, it plans to convert the Albertsons stores in Burien, Olympia, Puyallup, Redmond, Silverdale, Snohomish, Walla Walla, and two in Tacoma. It will also convert the Safeway stores in Everett, Gig Harbor, Oak Harbor, Redmond, Renton, and Tacoma. The Albertsons stores in Bremerton, Burien, Federal Way, Milton, Renton, Seattle, and the Safeway in Liberty Lake, are planned for conversion in June. Starbucks and Haggen have agreed to continue operating the 78 Starbucks stores located in Haggen’s acquired properties, with remodeling planned for existing cafés. Haggen also will be adding cafés to other locations. For more information, go to www.haggen.com. — PortOrchardIndependent.com

STARS ABOVE KITSAP LOCAL ASTROLOGY / HOROSCOPES SIGNS

Winter’s last gasp
C
ongratulations! You made it through last week’s fireworks, however, getting to the new moon eclipse on March 20 will be a continuing drama. The energy is like rush hour on a subway where people take every bump and jostle personally and react with Uzis! Pick your fights carefully, and remember the hardest person to manage in these energetic times may be yourself. Behind this uproar is the March 16 finale of an epic drama featuring Pluto, the god of earthquakes, and Uranus, the god of lightening. Who’s winning? Who knows? But the trauma of dis-integration has been spread from

On several occasions, he jetted off on a magazine’s tab to shoot travel photos for full-page spreads for the likes of Alaska Airlines, Texas Monthly and others. His work has also been featured on the cover of Time magazine. He also spent some time Reach

individuals to governments. The prediction is that ideas and actions that have been on-again and off-again will get either the green light or simply die in the light of new clarity. So what’s it all about, Alfie? In a word, “growth.” Sometimes it takes a disaster to shake us out of self-induced trances, so we can face the ways we have bound ourselves up and lost our true path. It’s wild energy, but it is only energy. How we use it matters. We can damage ourselves and others or use it to move to higher ground gaining self-knowledge, truth and compassion. The eclipse itself happens at the last gasp of winter, activating an energetic path where we see our next actions. The moon passing in front of the sun interrupts egocen-
tric willfulness (sun) and allows access to deep feelings (moon) about what our current path costs us. Will we continue paying the price of over-stressed health, time, relationships, good humor? Or are we ready to stop the madness and change? Schedule quiet receptive time on the first day of spring (March 20) and see what visions open up. Then get up and get moving. With six out of 10 planets in fire signs, shake, rattle and roll, baby!

Now, as an instructor at The Art Institute of Seattle, he helps students make their work look good and assists in polishing their skills for the competitive photography world. He’ll often send them out to try their hand at his favorite form of photography — what he calls “street photography” — where they are given a starting point and an ending point for the project. Their goal is to document everything in between.

March 13 to April 4 Pisces, the eclipse is your big moment on March 20. Breathe intention, trust and faith into it. Be the wizard you are, and use the fire power to materialize a new you full of visions, creativity and personal power. You may
“It’s interesting how they can all be in the same territory and come up with different things,” he said. But being different is how Gendreau gets some of his most intriguing shots. On a family trip to Paris, he made it a personal goal to use his camera for 82 days straight. With two film cameras around his neck — one with color and one with black-andwhite film — he trotted the city rain or shine in search of photo-worthy moments. Even with beautiful scenes to work with, it wasn’t a cakewalk, he said. “It was great,” he said. “Oh yeah, it was challenging. You make yourself photograph.” After taking thousands of pictures, the photographer is now showing a special selection at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art through June 7. In February, Gendreau’s photographer son surprised him by showing up to the opening night of the exhibit.
be quiet, but you are no wimp. Ride your dragon. Aries, soldier-person, the grand trine in fire is no time to lose focus. Slow down and see where your sixth-sense says to go. If things aren’t working where you are, after March 16, you may have to re-invent yourself. Don’t break your ram’s horns on brick walls — you have too much to offer. Taurus, welcome home Venus. People (you don’t even know) love you — so lead with your body and put yourself out there. Knock, knock on every door and watch them open. You may not know the end game, but insights abound as you move toward opportunities. Gemini, float a little to see what connections your unconscious is making in your career sector — which makes no logical sense anyway. Unexpected changes operating in your broad network are taking care of business. Chattiness is a great tool for you. Talk away, but pay attention. Cancer, your sensitive-self must conjure up assertive action to deal with the fireworks in the boardroom and demands on your desk. Ideas beyond your comfort zone can payoff at work. If you go missing in action over the next month, it will be noticed. Use your shell-ar-
mor and those claws, missy. Leo, the spring eclipse welcomes you to the broadest playing field you can imagine. Literally. The action is out there...way, way out there! It’s a kiss to your career and sense of self. Build the structures you need to hold all the creative manifestations you are cooking up. Darn, this is fun! Virgo, secrets and shadows emerge from behind private doors. Intimacy and shared values move up a notch and you must be honest to get what you want. A vacation would give a positive lift. Sleep, meditation, yoga, receptive opens you to your guardian angel. A list is useless for the moment. Libra, sometimes going toe-to-toe with your soul-mate or best buddies creates peace. Stand up for yourself and trust your true partners. Shadow-issues emerging from your basement could be causing trouble. Everyone is pushing for fuller self-expression and it can be messy. Speak up for you! Scorpio, enjoy a little sweetness with your honey while the frenzy in the back room at work gets even more frenetic. Out front, be positive and expect good things. Use your strategic sense while whispering in the right
ear about what’s rotten in Denmark. Not that you’d want to be Iago... Sagittarius, there is a certain gravitas about you that may attract more responsibility. Don’t accept if it doesn’t further your goals. Wildly creative, use everything you’ve got to jockey yourself into position to shine. Steady down and plan a year that can really put you in professional nirvana. Capricorn, in your on-going transformation the god’s finale in your home center forces you to look far back to childhood. If it wasn’t what you wanted then, hang a few piñatas and hit ‘em till candy, sparkles and a second childhood springs to life. Make home what you always wanted! Aquarius, use your words and curb your tongue. Figure out what you really want to say and the best way for phrasing it. Communication counts big time and has resounding effect. Everyday encounters can lead you to a true partner. Partnership and home is where the magic lives. — Suzanne O’Clair is an astrologer of 40 years.

Continued from page 8 now that his work is on an official display. “I am pleased with the results,” he said of the way the museum has grouped the photos for showing. Gendreau presented his favorite images to Greg Robinson, BIMA’s executive director and curator, and let him choose which ones to display. “Raymond Gendreau is a prominent photographer and educator — his images vary — ranging from sublime compositions to captured moments and abstractions,” Robinson said. Generally, BIMA’s board of directors endors-
Left, Raymond Gendreau’s “Train, Nevada Desert,” archival digital prints, 2011. Above, Raymond Gendreau’s “Taxi Stand, Seattle.” Raymond Gendreau es a profile of exhibition ideas. Shows are recommended through a formal process with the museum’s Art Acquisitions and Exhibitions Committee consisting of community leaders, regional art experts, curators and board director members. “I wanted it to be graphically pleasing,” Gendreau noted. “I wanted it to have life and humor. I wanted to share that.” One photo in particular has a backstory as interesting as the image itself. “Wounded Chevy” is a stunning black-andwhite shot of a deserted car somewhere in Utah.
He had spent most of the day wandering around shooting picture after picture. That evening, he found the car sitting in the perfect amount of shade — on someone’s private property. Despite the signs that warned trespasser beware, Gendreau climbed the barbed wire fence to inch his way closer to create the perfect shot. “I didn’t see guns or dogs,” he said, recalling his thoughts as he made his way over the fence. “So, I take my photo and leave. This is somebody’s yard art, basically. I just thought it was a great idea.” The film survived the adventure, and he got the exposure just right. As he often tells his students, “Ninety percent of good photography is waiting for the light.”
ON THE COVER Bainbridge photographer Raymond Gendreau (seen in a self portrait) will display select images from his varied portfolio at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art’s bistro though early June.

THE KITSAP IMBIBE LOCAL BREWS, NEWS AND MORE
Silver City makes official Seattle Beer Week brew
T
he Seattle Beer Week is scheduled for May 7-17, boasting a slew of events throughout the Emerald
City. But one of the most prominent features of the 10-day beer fest comes from straight from the heart of Kitsap. Silver City Brewery was given the honor to brew the official beer week brew. The beer is a limited release called Sieben Brau. “It’s a traditional lager,” said Kurt Larson of Silver City Brewery. “It’s clean, delicious and easy to drink.” “It’s got a touch of sweetness up front with some nice lingering bitterness,” Larson said. “Because it’s a lager, it’s refined.” The lager genre isn’t as easy to pull off as other beers, Larson said. “The beer takes way longer to make,” he said. “It has to refine six to 10 weeks.” “It’s flavorful, but also non-intrusive. It’s not done very easily,” Larson said. “If
you don’t do it well, you can’t hide mistakes. You can hide a lot of mistakes with an IPA, but with a lager, not so much.” The end product of Sieben Brau is a beer, Larson said, that should please the wide array of enthusiasts’ tastes, which is what Silver City strives to do. “It’s important to have something for everybody,” Larson said. “We brew a beer to be all inclusive. We take pride in that. We want somebody to come into the brewery and find something they like.” Starting in April, Silver City’s Sieben Brau will debut in 12 oz cans wherever its beers are sold. “Draft will be tapped on May 7 at 5 p.m. wherever in Western Washington folks want to pour it,” Larson said. Sieben Brau was brewed partially at the request of beer week organizers who sought a particular taste, Larson said. But Silver City was chosen to brew it because of its Northwest brewing legacy. “They wanted the style,” Larson said. “And the lineage of Silver City is very intertwined in the Northwest. “This is the first time they selected a brewery outside of Seattle,” he noted. Silver City is the oldest brewery west of Seattle, founded in 1996 by brothers Scott and Steve Houmes who brought

their Oregon brewing experience to Kitsap. It has since grown to a Silverdale brewery and a Bremerton taproom. With its history in the Puget Sound brewing scene, Silver City was apt to brew this year’s beer week brew. “It’s a celebration of all things beer,” Larson said of the beer week. “It’s not just about Seattle. It is focused on local breweries, but breweries from all over the world come in.” The Seattle Beer Week will host a

NW WINES t isn’t difficult to find multiple wineries making wines from the same vineyard. However, it is rare indeed for two winemakers who are married and producing for competing companies to make the same wine from one exclusive vineyard. Jessica Munnell and her husband, Juan Muñoz-Oca, are releasing Cabernet Sauvignons from little-known but highly regarded Wautoma Springs Vineyard in Washington’s Columbia Valley. Munnell is head winemaker for Mercer Estates in Prosser and co-owner of Wautoma Wines, while Muñoz-Oca is head winemaker for giant Columbia Crest. They met while working for Ste.

variety of events featuring everything from barrel-aged brews to stouts, music to go along with it, and even a pine box beer can derby. And for those facing the difficult decision to attend or honor their mother, there’s even a Mother’s Day brunch to make everybody happy. “It’s like 350 events in the span of seven days,” Larson said.

In March, Wautoma will release its 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon, of which Munnell made just 26 cases, available at www. wautomasprings.com. And Muñoz-Oca will release his 2011 Wautoma Springs Cabernet Sauvignon, which will go to Columbia Crest wine club members first, then will be sold through the tasting room
in Paterson. He made 350 cases. While one might think that talk around the dinner table might always turn toward wine, that isn’t necessarily so, Munnell said. “When Tom starts to get ready to pick the vineyard, he’s coordinating with Juan. As we’re approaching harvest, he’ll let me know when Juan is going to pick.” “By the time we’re harvesting Cab, we’re in
the middle of harvest,” she said. “There’s not a lot of time for chit-chat. If Juan has decided to pick (Wautoma), then I’m going to agree.” So whose wine is better? The couple couldn’t agree, so they gave us a bottle of each to try. “I think she has the superior palate and better winemaking skills,” Muñoz-Oca said. “I think he just wants to stay married,” Munnell replied with a grin.

Wautoma Wines 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, $48: Mild oak notes stay out of the way of gorgeous fruit aromas of boysenberry, black raspberry and faint hints of sage. On the palate, it is round and luscious with suave tannins and ample acidity through a lengthy and stylish finish. Columbia Crest 2011 Wautoma Springs Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia
Valley, $35: Aromas of dark black cherry, blackberry and violet lead to ripe, dark flavors that include notes of black licorice, black olive, black currant and sweet herbs, including a note of sage. Fairly assertive tannins lead to a big, classic finish. And which was better? We gave the slight nod to Munnell’s version. — Great Northwest Wine is a news and information company. www.greatnorthwestwine.com.

Now’s the time to buy or sell a home By Leslie Kelly

T
he real estate wave is hitting Kitsap County. That’s according to Frank Wilson, managing broker at John L. Scott in Poulsbo. “We call it the ‘wave,’ ” he said. “It starts in Seattle, and then moves to Bainbridge Island, and then to the rest of Kitsap County.” The “wave” is the shortage of housing on the market for buyers to consider. And Wilson only expects the inventory to get tighter as spring and summer arrive. “Our inventory right now is about 800 homes on the market throughout Kitsap County,” Wilson said. “As we get into spring and summer, more homes will come on the market because historically, it’s the time when sellers list. But even with that, there’s such a pent up demand, that homes will get absorbed quickly.” When the inventory is low, it’s more likely that there will be mul-
tiple offers and that can make prices escalate, Wilson said. “We’re keeping our fingers crossed that things will stay sane and that it won’t get crazy out there,” he said. What’s most important for anyone thinking about buying or selling a home in the comings months, is to be educated about the process. Wilson suggests interviewing several real estate brokers before selecting who you want to work with. “Make sure that you work with someone who you communicate with well,” he said. “And make sure your personalities match. Take your time.” Just as with a lawyer, a contractor or any other professional, Wilson said talk to two or three. And find one that knows the local market well. That’s the key to success. He added that since July 2010, all real estate agents in Washington state go by the title of broker. “You can troll the internet and
look at what the large networks like Zillow are saying,” he said. “But you need to work with a broker who has the hyper-local information.” An example, he said, is that local brokers who have worked in Kitsap County know things like neighborhood reputations, whether a hill has a history of slides and whether the area where you are looking will best fit your needs. If you are buying, meet with your broker in the office and lay out what your expectations are. “You shouldn’t be looking at houses the first time you meet,” Wilson said. “You first need to understand how the process works. In this market, buyers can get disappointed if they make an offer and don’t get the house. Buyers need to know the realities of today’s market.” If you are selling a home, Wilson said you need to walk out to the curb and turn around and look back See REAL ESTATE, Page 5

Organic gardening: It’s not as hard as you may think Take time to plan — and make sure you have good soil with all of the right nutrients By Leslie Kelly
lkelly@soundpublishing.com
O
rganic gardening is all about working with nature, not against nature. That’s the message from Gayle Larson, a Master Gardener and certified professional horticulturalist who lives in Kitsap County. “Gardening of any kind is tough if you’re a control freak,” Larson said. “You’re going to have some things that don’t work. The important thing is to keep learning.” Larson is part of a team of Master Gardeners that works with Kitsap County and annually gives a four-week class in gardening the organic way. Her own gardening experiences began when she caught the “gardening bug” from her husband after they moved to Kitsap County 16 years ago. “My husband had grown up around gardening,” she said. “I had not.” But soon, she was getting a degree in landscape design and began her company, Dancing Raven Designs, where she coaches and designs edible gardens. The real difference in organic gardening and any other kind of gardening is “looking at the big picture,” she said. “Think of your garden as part of the overall ecological system,” she said. “Choose methods with that in mind.” It’s easy to think about using a pesticide when you see a critter in the garden, she said. But there’s a better way. “When you see an aphid on the broccoli, think about the fact that if you spray it with a synthetic pesticide that will affect other creatures, beyond the aphid,” she said. “And [the pesticide] may or may not break down in the water system. It can have lasting effects in the environment.” An alternative method is to squish bugs or spray them with water. But it’s best to start at the beginning. When planning an organic garden, think about where you plan to put your garden, Larson said.
A garden container is filled with fresh organic herbs. Growing organic in containers and in raised beds takes a bit more preparation and soil amendments. Contributed photo “Analyze the site,” she said. “How much sun does it get? What’s the drainage like?” Most vegetable crops need six hours of direct sunlight, she said. You can do with less, but the vegetables won’t be as luscious. If your site is too wet, you’ll need to think about drainage amendments, she added. For beginning gardeners, plant raised beds. Next, think about what you like to eat. Determine what crops you want to plant. “And do a lot of planning,” she said. “Most hobby gardens are about four feet by eight feet. A zucchini plant needs three to four feet of space. So, you’d only get three or four zucchini plants in that garden and nothing else.” An important step is to check your soil. Larson suggests that you take a sample of your soil for a complete analysis. That costs only about $50, she said and there are companies in Kitsap County that will do the testing. “Most of the time, the soils in our backyards are fine,” she said. “But with the tests, you’ll be able to see what nutrients you need to add for the best results.” If you need additives for your soil,
such as nitrogen, a local nursery can help. Also, in off seasons, consider planting a “cover crop” like crimson clover that is then tilled back into the soil. Consider buying your seeds from local seed catalogues, places like Territorial Seeds, Irish Eye Seeds and Uprising Organics. Use your plans and space allotments to decide how much and what crops to plant. Another option is to buy plant starts at Master Gardener plant sales or at local farmers markets. Easy crops for beginners include lettuce, radishes and tomatoes. “One important thing is to make sure that the maturation season isn’t too long,” she said. “Check the seed packet to see that it’s within the 60-day window of the typical growing season we have here.” Gardeners also need to plan for the amount of time they want to devote to their gardens, Larson said. “Are you going to give it an hour a day or an hour a week,” she said. “Planting is just the first step. There’s lots of time involved in watering and weeding and harvesting. Make sure you’re going to be able to keep up with whatever you plant.” Once the garden is planted, do your
watering and weeding. At the first sign of trouble, ask for help. “If you see that there’s something eating your plants, observe your garden,” she said. “Look at it at various times of the day. If you can see the insect or critter that’s at work, capture it and put it in a plastic ziplock bag, refrigerate it until you can take it to a Master Gardener for help.” If you don’t see a bug but see holes in leaves on your plants, take those leaves to a Master Gardener. “That’s why the Master Gardeners are at the local farmers markets,” she said. “They want to help. Or call the county extension service and find out a time when you can bring in your sample.” If all else fails, Google “holes in tomato plants in the Pacific Northwest,” she said. Help is also available in many online publications of the WSU Extension Service, she added. An example, she said, were the problems she had with her potatoes last summer. “Something was eating them,” she said. “We narrowed it down to flea beetles. But those critters can fly and hop. So what I did, rather than spray, was to cover my plants with row cover fabric.” And, she said, this year, she’s going to plant earlier to avoid the flea beetles which come out at the end of the potato growing season. “Those are the kinds of things that people need to consider instead of using chemicals,” she said. “And consider that organic vegetables aren’t going to be the perfect looking produce you may see in the grocery store. But really, who would want to eat anything that the bugs don’t want to eat anyway,” she joked. And remember that pests usually are there for a reason. “There’s a balance in nature,” she said. “Take aphids. If you eliminate all of them, then the ladybugs have nothing to feed off of. So sometimes just being patient and waiting is the key.” Look at how things grow naturally and imitate nature, she said. “Things grow all jumbled up together,” she said. “So think about that as you plan what vegetables and flowers you’re planning to plant and where.” To contact Larson, go to www.dancingravendesign.com.

Organization is key to regaining space in home By Sheila taylor
M
any of my clients become frustrated with the level of disorganization in their homes and they enlist my services. Here are a few organizing tips that you can use to bring organization, efficiency and calm to your home environment. First, start off small. Try organizing a few drawers or cabinets, rather than the entire room. Plan out when, where and what you will organize, and stick to it. This process is great for those who are easily distracted, and also for those who do not have solid blocks of time to devote to organizing. When organizing, remove all items from the area, say a drawer. Sort them with like items, for instance, shirts in one pile, pants in another, etc. Now, evaluate each item. When was the last time you used it? Do you have multiples of the same item that you may not need? Be honest with your answers and don’t be afraid to let something go if you can’t remember the last time you used it. From the questions above, you can sort your items into four different categories: keep, throw away, sell or donate. When returning your keep items to the drawer, put them away neatly, which will entice you to keep a neat drawer going forward. For the items you wish to donate, bag them up and put them in your trunk. Add to your to-do list to drop off at the charity of your choice. If you are not the creative type and need
Real estate
Continued from page 3 at your house. “Have your broker with you,” he said. “We call it ‘zero-based thinking.’ Maybe it’s that broken step that you don’t even see anymore. Or maybe you need to put down some beauty bark. These are the things that the broker will see when you don’t.” Inside the home, improvements can include clean carpets, new paint, or fixing doors that stick. “You don’t have to redo your kitchen,” Wilson said. “Or add another bathroom. Typically that’s not what’s needed. Improvements don’t need to be expensive.” Think price, staging and pick the right broker before you sell. “Homes need to look good, feel good and
ideas on how to containerize items, google “organizing ideas” or “organizing pictures.” There are some very inventive ideas that you may be able to easily incorporate into your home. For example, an over-the-door pocket shoe organizer can be used for more than just shoes. Use it on the mudroom door to hold hats, gloves, scarfs, sunglasses, dog leashes, keys and wallets. Or use it on the back of a child’s bedroom door and store small toys, as well as arts and craft supplies. If you lack storage in your bathroom, cut the shoe organizer in half and glue to a rod, and hang it inside your bathroom cabinet. It can offer a home for nail polish, floss, deodorant, perfume, lotion and much more. To increase the efficiency of your household, run weekly family meetings where each person’s calendar of activities is recorded onto the family calendar. Take note of work commitments, sporting events, school clubs and any other activities. Once all events are noted on the family calendar, parents can discuss and coordinate plans for the upcoming week. Hold the family meetings on a night when all family members are normally at home, and set aside 30 to 45 minutes for the meetings. — Sheila Taylor is a professional organizer and the owner of Clutter Controllers LLC. Contact her at 360-917-9004, cluttercontrollers@hotmail.com, or go to www.cluttercontrollers.org. smell good,” he added. For buyers who are in the market at a price range of $250,000 to $350,000, homes will go fast, Wilson said. “That’s where most of the activity is happening,” he said. “Those homes will get taken up pretty quickly.” Waterfront homes have been the last to recover from the slow real estate market. “There are great deals on the waterfront —- Dyes Inlet and along the Hood Canal,” he said. “That’s really the area that’s been the last to recover and they are lagging behind in appreciation.” If you’re thinking of buying or selling, Wilson recommends: “Step back and assess what you want in your life. If owning a home or moving up to a larger home is what you want, now is a good time. Interest rates are low and you’ll get a good return on investment.”

Roofing business is all in the family for the Hanleys By LESLIE Kelly
lkelly@soundpublishing.com
M
organ Hanley was only 8 years old when his father, Oliver, had him up on a roof, helping out. So it’s no surprise that roofing runs in the family. Now, with 35 years in the business, Hanley Construction is a father and son operation. On any given day, they have from five to 10 projects underway. Hanley Construction began in 1980 and specializes in all types of roofing projects — small and large, residential and commercial. The company has 42 employees and a large fleet of trucks — red trucks. In fact, they’re known for the bright red trucks with the yellow and black “Hanley” logo that travel all over the Kitsap Peninsula for roofing work. “I’m not really sure how the red trucks started,” said Morgan Hanley, who is vice president of the company. “But my dad always loved red vehicles ever since he was a child.” Oliver Hanley, a Vietnam War veteran, was a teacher by profession and retired from the Port Orchard School District in 1999. In the 1980s, he started buying homes to remodel and lease as rentals. When he couldn’t find someone good to re-roof his rentals, he began doing that himself. “A year or so later, another guy with rentals asked my Dad to roof his house,” Hanley said. “And Dad just decided he liked roofing.” So, for years, Oliver would teach and roof weekends during the school year and roof during the summer. Morgan helped out when in high school and during the summers while he was in college at Washington State University. When Morgan graduated in 2000, he came to work for the family business full time. While he admits that roofing isn’t something that excites people, he thinks it should. “It’s the first thing people see when they see your house,” he said. “Making sure you have a nice looking, good quality product is really important. Don’t forget that your roof protects everything inside your home and for most people their home is their biggest investment.” With any roof and any product that Hanley installs the owner gets a lifetime workmanship guarantee. “We like to say that we’ll provide the last roof you’ll ever need,” he said. “Anything that goes wrong, even leaks, we’ll be there.” One of the ways Hanley sets itself apart form other roofing companies is that they hand-nail all roofs.
Hanley Construction is known for its red trucks. This tow truck was renovated by owner Oliver Hanley and is shown at car shows and home shows in the area. Contributed photo “Quality is important to us,” he said. “And our employees are paid by the hour, not by the job. That means they know they can take the time to do it right.” The company has long term employees and they are trained on new products continually. They aren’t seasonal employees. Employees are background checked and under go drug testing, as well. Safety is key for the company. “Our foremen conduct daily safety meetings at each site before the work begins,” Hanley said. “And we have weekly safety meetings here at the office. We have a field superintendent who also makes unannounced visits daily to all of our job sites and performs a formal safety inspection.” Hanley Construction recently was named in the top five roofing companies in North America for 2014 by CertainTeed Materials Corporation and also received the Platinum TrackRecord ™ Award. “That’s important to us because it shows that we do the job right the first time,” he said. “We’re always on the cutting edge. We want to set the standard and be the leader in our industry.” One of the largest roofs the company has done is the Marine View Beverage Company office and warehouse in Poulsbo. It has about 100,000 square feet of roof. A current project that Hanley is excited about is the expansion of the Salvation Army Building on Sixth Street in Bremerton. They got the roofing work by competitive bid. Because of the growth in the company during the past few years, they’re moving the office to a new location at 250 Bethel, the
former Port Orchard Signs building. They expect to be in that location by July. “We look forward to having a showroom where customers can visit and view the
Home Lending
many products that we offer,” he said. The current office is on Fircrest Drive, just next to the first rental house his father ever purchased. The warehouse and trucks will remain at that location. And still today, Oliver Hanley is very active in the business and still gets up on roofs. “He does all the final inspections,” said his son. “And he takes care of all the buying and maintenance of our fleet of trucks. He also recycles all the old metal from roofs we work on.” Soon, there may be a third Hanley in the business. Morgan’s brother, Joseph, is now in college and has been roofing during his summer breaks. “He’s expressed an interest in the business as well,” he said. But don’t count on Morgan’s kids being on a roof anytime soon. His daughters are only 2 and 4 years old. Visit Hanley Construction at 1750 Fircrest Drive SE, Port Orchard, or call 888-8345015.

They’re the comfort masters in and around Kitsap By LESLIE Kelly
lkelly@soundpublishing.com
F
or years, they were competitors. But now they’re a winning combination. In 2010, Steve Krecker and Mark Timmerman, combined their heating and cooling businesses under the name of Air Masters, Inc. And that’s just what they are — the masters of keeping us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather. Krecker began his business in Port Orchard in 1986. He grew up in New York, but after serving in the U.S. Navy, a Navy buddy of his convinced him to visit the Pacific Northwest and once here he knew he had to stay. For a time, he worked at Bangor as a mechanic before beginning his own business. “I got into the HVAC shop at Bangor and I found it to be a fascinating trade,” Krecker said. “There are just so many facets to it. I just ate it up.” So after 10 years there, he started his own company, Air Masters Inc. It was in 2010, that the Timmerman family and the Krecker family decided to join forces and merged their two companies to better
Steve Krecker, left, and Mark Timmerman serve their clients and their employees. Timmerman’s company Mark Air had been in business in Kitsap County for 10 years. “It just made sense,” Timmerman said. “We came up with a strategy for our business and we retained the best employees and our best practices. And by combining our companies, we reduced overhead.”

BECU is a not-for-profit and locally owned credit union.
Their personalities complimented the others and they both had the same goal — to be the premier HVAC contractor on the Peninsula. “It can be difficult to maintain that,” Krecker said. “But good customer service is what we strive for and that is what keeps our clients returning to us year after year. Whether it is for replacement of their current system, annual maintenance, or repair — they know we have the integrity and professional serLeslie Kelly photo vice that they deserve.” The company does residential and commercial heating and cooling work. With residential, much of their business is maintenance and repair. They also retrofit new products in existing homes and businesses and they do install systems in new construction. While they carry several name brands, Air Masters is the only premier Lennox dealer in Kitsap County. “Our repeat customers are the backbone of the business,” Timmerman said, noting that they will work on all equipment they sell and on what others have sold to customers, as well. They service all makes and models of heating and cooling equipment. About the only type they do not work on is oil. “Oil heat as a whole has been being phased out not only for its inefficiency and cost. Also, it is a fossil fuel and not a green choice or product to offer our environmentally conscience clientele,” Timmerman said. One of their largest commercial customers is Kitsap Bank. “We go on lots of ‘comfort calls,’ where an office is either too cold or too hot,” Krecker said. “Kitsap Bank really cares about their employees and they want them to be comfortable in their working environment.” In addition, Air Masters does quarterly maintenance of all heating and cooling equipment in each of the 16 Kitsap Bank locations. “Our service techs literally touch every piece of equipment in each of those banks every three months,” he said. “Lynae Goodwin, our service coordinator, does an excellent job and exceeds customer’s expectations with her exceptional customer service. She makes every service call happen without any hiccups. If there are any issues, she is quick to rectify and come up with reasonable resolutions for the client. We can always count on her.” A typical residential service call is “someone who doesn’t have heat in the winter,
or air conditioning in the summer,” said Timmerman. “We go out and introduce ourselves and find out what is going on with their system,” he said. “We give them a (written) quote for the repair and then we let the customer decide whether to move forward. All of our work is flat rate priced and everything is up front before we do any work.” Heat pump systems are definitely the most popular, Krecker and Timmerman said. “They are the norm,” Timmerman said. “They are popular because they use electricity, and don’t use any fossil fuels for the same amount or less energy cost.” Additionally, the new ductless heat pump technology is popular. “The ductless technology is new,” Timmerman said. “But it’s gaining a strong foothold. In the next five years, we’re going to see it become a substantially larger part of the industry.” Both Krecker and Timmerman said their one key piece of advice is to hire a licensed, bonded, and insured company to do any work within your home. “Get someone with a good reputation,” Timmerman said. “Heating and cooling systems are a lot more complicated than you might think. If you hire someone who is not properly trained to do the work, things could be installed improperly. Heating and cooling is a substantial investment. Improper installation or a system that is not properly sized could make the system run harder, making replacement a sooner reality than any homeowner would like. Make sure it’s done right.” The company has 12 employees and four owners. They see community service as a big part of what they do. In December, they helped eight children with holiday gifts through the South Kitsap Project Holiday program. They do food drives for South Kitsap Helpline and they often do projects to support local schools. They are members of the Kitsap County Homebuilders Association and their operations manager/marketing director, Lena Price, was recently named Associate Member of the Year for her volunteer work. “It is important that we support the community that supports us,” Timmerman commented. “We encourage our employees to be involved in the community, their family’s churches, and local volunteer organizations. Volunteering has many intangible benefits that no one person can know without experiencing it themselves.” Air Masters, Inc. is located at 3210 SE Mile Hill Drive, Port Orchard.

Peninsula Paint: Local company that keeps on growing Adding a fresh coat of paint to a room is one of the least expensive ways to bring it up to date
understating their customers’ needs. Ray and Diane say that their employees are trained to interview each customer to understand the project, so they can recommend the best products for that project. “We continue to educate our employees on what we sell,” Diane said. “We have online courses and factory representatives that come in and train our employees.” Customer service is something that Ray and Diane stress with their employees. They often refer to the book “The Customer Signs Your Paycheck” and the 10 Commandments of Customer Service. While working as a married couple can have its challenges, Ray’s stayed on the operations side and Diane on the administrative side of the business and it seems to work. They have two daughters, Michelle, 23, works for the company, and Kerri, 25, lives and works locally. They are involved with the community and often provide paint for community service projects. They now have five locations to serve customers: Poulsbo, Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Townsend, and Gig Harbor. Go to www.peninsulapaintco.com to find store hours and location information.

f you ask Ray and Diane Donahue what they know, they’d say paint. So, it only makes sense that they own and operate five Benjamin Moore Paint stores under the name of Peninsula Paint Centers. As a former sales representative in the paint industry, Ray knew retailing and paint products, while Diane had a background in accounting and knew the business end of things. In 2004, they started with three stores in Port Townsend, Sequim, and Poulsbo. While they felt the recession and closed the Sequim store in 2011, they were able to sustain their business and in 2012 added a store on Bainbridge Island (formerly Winslow Paint Co.) and this year added Gig Harbor and Bremerton (formerly Nayer Paint). But just what’s kept them in business even through the last recession? Great products, great customers, and great employees, they say. “Benjamin Moore is the only national paint company that primarily goes to market through independent dealers, like ourselves.” Ray said. “We are privately-owned businesses selling high quality products.” They also belong to a national buying group, made up of independent paint dealers, which helps them, purchase better and keep them competitive with the big national chains. While Benjamin Moore isn’t the least expensive product on the market, the Donahues know it’s a quality product line. “Customers often use less paint,” he said. “There’s story after story of customers who tell us that they were able to cover with one coat, or were able to re-coat after an hour, or it didn’t take as many coats, or as many days with lesser quality paints. He added that they carry a “full menu of price options.” One of the important aspects of the paint they sell is that most of the products are “green.” Benjamin Moore has been on the forefront of creating low V.O.C. (volatile organic compounds) paints for many years. “These are environmentally-friendly paints without compromising the Benjamin Moore quality.”
Keys to painting a room Diane and Ray Donahue have owned and operated Peninsula Paint since 2004. Today, they have five stores including new stores in Bremerton and in Gig Harbor. Leslie Kelly photo All paint products have changed over time due to federal regulation, he said, but even with that, the quality of the Benjamin Moore paints has stayed superior. For anyone looking for help in making their paint decisions, Peninsula Paint Centers have design centers where they can come peruse design magazines, color brochures, look at paint samples, and talk with sales people about their individual projects. They now have portable color scanners available in each store to match your items to the nearest Benjamin Moore color. “We have the tools they need to make decisions,” he said. If they prefer professional assistance we can refer them to local designers or contractors that we work with in the individual markets. The Historical Collection is a tried and true color collection that has been around for many years, includes earth tones and colors from nature. This collection is very popular in the Northwest. The Williamsburg collection is a replication of many centuries-old East Coast historical colors.
When a customer is deciding on color, they can check out larger color sheets to tape up on their wall or they can buy a pint sample for $6.99 and paint a section of their wall. “It’s well worth taking the time to test a color.” Ray said. “Because paint looks different under different lighting, and can look different depending on the surroundings, it’s a whittling-down process. Painting is one of the least expensive ways to transform the look or feel of a room.” While residential customers make up a large part of their business, commercial contractors are also a big part of it, too. “We have many contractors that start out their day with us. They come in, have some coffee, get their paint, and head out to whatever job they’re doing.” He said one contractor, who recently retired, came in and sat at the same stool at their front counter every day for years. “He was kinda like Norm from ‘Cheers,’ ” he said. An important part of their business is
Clean ceiling and walls: Remove dust, dirt, and grease spots with water, a little mild dishwashing detergent, and a cellulose sponge. Beginning at the corner of the room, use a two-inch or 2.5-inch trim brush to “cut in,” applying a three-inch strip of coating along the perimeter where the wall and the ceiling meet. Cut in a section at a time, alternating between cutting in and painting the ceiling to maintain a wet edge and prevent a visible line between the cut-in area and the rest of the ceiling. Before you begin painting the ceiling, remove excess paint on the roller by slowly rolling it back and forth over the ridges of the paint tray. Start painting near the corner of the room, blending the coating into the ceiling line painted previously. Paint across the width of the ceiling, rather than the length. Once your ceiling is dry, use a trim brush to carefully cut in along the wall-ceiling line. Extend out two to three inches from windows, doors, and moldings. Use a roller to fill in the field. Once the walls are completely dry, place painter’s blue tape where the trim meets the wall. Paint the moldings, baseboard and the door and window frames with a two-inch angled brush. Paint your baseboards last.

you just barely sprinkle soil over them and press them flat to touch the soil and they magically sprout. Carrots when they first sprout look like two sprouts of teensy grass blades and then the ferny leaves come next.” Tillery said another tip is that the leafy plants — lettuce, chard, kale — all can be cut back to eat but leave some leaves still on and these plants will re-sprout. Broccoli re-sprouts continuously too, just cut off the flower part and at every part where you cut the broccoli off, it will re-sprout with smaller broccolis - all summer long, she said. “It’s way cool,” she said. “Sometimes if plants go to seed (i.e. start sprouting long stems with flowers on them) that part is delicious cut up and stir fried or put in salads.” And if you plant a summer crop to harvest in the winter, try kale, chard, broccoli, beats and carrots. “If you’re going to grown a winter crop, be sure to study up on how to do that,” she said. “Try a book called ‘Winter Gardening’ by Chris Smith.” For the beginner, know ahead of time that you are going to have failures. “Every gardener tries every thing at
Here’s what to plant and when March: peas (that grow up a teepee), lettuces, kale and chard May/June: one more batch of lettuce, broccoli starts, spinach and direct seed the bush beans (a selection of purple, green and yellow beans) July/August: (usually closer to mid to late July and early August) — some from seed and some from starts, kale and chard from starts but also do seeds; carrots from seeds (the ball-shaped carrots called Parisiene Market carrots.)

least once,” she said. “If it works, great. If not, you have something more to add to your compost.” If you’re going to grow in containers, consider smaller quantities. Peas do well and can grow up trellises. Tomatoes do well in pots, too, she said. A hint is to alway look at the instructions on the starts or seeds when purchasing them. “Make sure they have a 60-day or less maturing season,” she said. “Otherwise, we may not have enough warm days to get a mature crop. Rarely do we have 90 days of hot sun in this area.” When buying starts, look for those that aren’t “leggy.” “You want starts with short stems,” Tillery said. “Otherwise, they’ve been too long in their small containers.” If you’re going to be trying flowers, think about how much sun your beds or containers will get. “Again, grow what you like,” she said. “Go for a walk around your neighborhood and see what grows well in your area. Look at the display gardens at the local nurseries.” Bulbs are easy to plant and don’t take a lot of care, she said. Fuchsias grow well here, as do dahlias. But again, Tillery suggests beginning with starts purchased from local garden clubs. If you are wanting to try gardening, but not quite ready, Tillery suggests renting a space in local pea patch garden. “It’s a good way to get your hands dirty,” she said. “It’s possible for $40 to $50 a season. And then, you’ll have others right there to ask questions of and to help you out.” Pea patch gardens are available in most Kitsap County communities. Find out more from local parks and recreation departments. And remember, if you grow more than you need, local food banks want your extras. Check with them to determine how they want freshly grown vegetables packaged. To learn more. go to www.kitsapgardens.org.

This family business can cover all your flooring needs There’s nothing nicer than a brand new floor, — whether it be wood, tile, vinyl, or covered with new carpet By LESLIE Kelly
Lkelly@soundpublishing.com
A
lot has changed since Mike Paulson’s grandfather opened Floor Decorators in 1921. Back then, the typical Kitsap County home sold for a under $1,000. Today it’s more like $252,140. Throughout the years, styles too have changed, from hardwood floors to shag carpeting to low-pile carpets, with wood floors accenting some rooms. But one thing has stayed the same. The Paulson family has owned the business and they’ve dedicated themselves to making customers happy. “It’s never been about us,” Mike Paulson said. “It’s always been about having good employees who really care about quality service to our customers.” In the early days, the company was headquartered in Portland, Oregon. In the 1940s, the family began stores in Washington state. Mike’s dad took over for his father and, when he retired in 1989, Mike took over for him. Today, he has a store in Bremerton and Tacoma and splits his time between the two. The Bremerton store opened in 1975 and is just now celebrating its 40th anniversary. In those days, the typical home cost $39,300. “We’re the oldest flooring store in Kitsap County,” he said. “We’ve accomplished that by really caring about our customers.” The company carries a variety of name brand floor coverings including wood, vinyl, stone and carpet. They work on new commercial and residential construction. But the bulk of their business is in residential remodeling. And Floor Decorators is the only Carpet One dealer in Kitsap County. Paulson said that’s important because it gives the consumer many advantages. “Some customers think that going to the big box home centers is a way to save money,” he said. “But being a part of Carpet One allows us to buy and market with other Carpet One stores. It’s a co-op. We’re still a locally-owned store, but this gives us nation-
Mike Paulson is the third generation of his family to own and operate Floor Decorators which has two stores in Western Washington, including the Bremerton store. Leslie Kelly photo wide buying power to save money and that savings we pass on to our customers.” As a part of Carpet One since 1985, it also brings customers the “beautiful guarantee.” What that means, Paulson said, is that the store will replace any carpet purchased from them with another of equal value, with no extra installation cost, if the customer decides against their original choice. “With paint, you can do a wall before deciding if it’s what you want,” he said. “You can’t really do that with carpet. Most people will take the time to make the right choice and take home a large sample to try. But once in awhile, someone will get the entire room done and decide it’s not right.” In that case, they get another chance and another pick. The other Carpet One value is called “healthy living installation.” That’s a process where Paulson’s installers will remove the old carpet and pad, use a HEPA-filter vacuum process to eliminate all dust and particles that have been trapped under the carpet over the years. Then they apply a anti-microbial spray, which eliminates the mold and mildew. It also retards the future growth of mold and mildew. “All of that is done prior to installing new flooring,” he said. “No one else does that. It’s so important because so much stuff filters down through your carpet over the years.” In his years in the floor business, he’s seen a lot of color and style trends come and go. Today, he said, the popular floor coverings are natural floors — hardwoods, linoleum, stone and ceramic. “Hardwood is the preferred product,” he
said. “But it is more expensive. Customers who know that they will be staying in their homes for years to come will do hardwood, while those who are only going to be here a few years before they may be deployed elsewhere will chose something less expensive.” The company offers flooring options in the medium to high end prices. They don’t often work with the least expensive products just because they know the value for the customer is compromised. Installation prices are the same regardless of the product. Natural earthy tones are still the most popular, Paulson said. And with carpeting, most customers will choose natural fibers, but there are less expensive man-made fiber carpet options that “look and feel like wool,” he said. Lowloop carpets are still popular because they are easy to care for and often have a multifleck look. Man-made flooring can be easier to clean and therefore is often the better option for homes with young children and pets, he added. Customers also are given suggestions about products. “We’re the kind of place where people can come in and have a cup of coffee and walk around and just look,” he said. “There’s no high-pressure sales here. And we don’t expect everybody to make up their minds the first time they come in.” In fact, he encourages customers to take home samples and see how they actually look in their home before deciding. His employees say Paulson is what makes the company great.
“He takes care of his people,” said Joe Brown, manager of the Bremerton location, who has been with the company since 1994. That must be the case because of the 17 employees at the Bremerton location, most have been with the company 10 years or more. One salesman, Tom Ellingboe, started with the company when it opened, retired, and now at 79 still works part time. Too, all of the installers are highly trained and are very particular about working carefully in customers’ homes, Paulson said. The store’s motto is “Number one in selection and number one in price. Come in and let us prove it.” “We really live by that,” said Paulson. “We want to be around another 40 years or more.” Find Floor Decorators at 4535 Auto Center Way in Bremerton, or call 360-479-3463. Online: www. FloorDecoratorsCarpet1Bremerton.com. Some hints from Floor Decorators Changes in home décor trends are more subtle than fashion, but they do change from year to year. Keeping a home on trend could be as simple as updating a paint color or it could mean a complete overhaul. It’s up to a home owner how much they want to update their home to align with the trends. Carpet One worked with interior designers and product experts to compile 2015 design trends for the whole home. Colors Beautiful indigo blue is making a splash in home décor and works with many different design styles. Much of the color inspiration for 2015 is drawn from nature making designs feel comfortable and natural. Floors Look for a more relaxed outlook in carpets and area rugs with distressed and striated patterns. Hardwoods are getting more relaxed, too, with reclaimed looks. For vinyl, styles that look like wood are popular for 2015. Cabinets In cabinetry, convenience is the name of the game for 2015. Clever and functional tools make busy lives a little bit easier. There are also more open concept cabinets and shelving available that show off beautiful dishes and accessories. Lighting Beauty and function combine in 2015 lighting trends. Outdoor lighting that accents architectural features is becoming more and more popular and will help highlight the beauty of a home’s exterior well into the night.

So you think you want to become a Master Gardener By LESLIE Kelly
lkelly@soundpublishing.com
J
ust what is a Master Gardener? In Kitsap County, the Master Gardener Educational Program consists of a 12-week course that begins in January. Training is a combination of online and inclass study on Fridays through mid-April. The Master Gardener core curriculum includes basic botany, horticulture, soil science, sustainable garden management, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), plant health care, pesticide safety, entomology, insect pest management, plant pathology, plant disease diagnosis and control, weed identification, tree fruit and small fruit production. In Kitsap County, there is a sign-up list to join the Master Gardener program. Applications are mailed on Oct. 15 of each year. About 50 students are selected after an mandatory interview process held in November. Fees are $70 for the online portion and $155 for in class supplies and materials. Scholarships and payment options are available upon request. Master Gardeners in their first year of training must complete 50 hours of volunteer time in order to be certified in the program. Of these 50 hours, interns must volunteer 12 hours in an assigned clinic site, eight hours at the extension office clinic, 10 hours in a selected learning garden and 20 hours of approved educational outreach. In their second year and beyond, certified Master Gardeners are required to participate in 16 hours of approved educational outreach for the public, complete nine hours of clinic time and 10 hours of continuing education for a total of 35 hours yearly. Master Gardeners are considered volunteer educators in their community. Individuals who are seeking education for employment or only for personal reasons and don’t want to volunteer in the community will want to apply for a Certificate in Horticulture Basics and pay $70 for the online portion and $350 for the materials and course certificate. To apply: To get your name on the list, call the Extension office at 360 337-7157. For more information about the Horticulture programs at Washington State University Kitsap County Extension, contact horticulture coordinator Colleen Miko at 360 307-4378 or cmiko@co.kitsap.wa.us.

These container gardens are from Peg Tillery’s yard last summer. through sound and sustainable horticultural practices. The purposes of the non-profit foundation are solely educational and charitable to enhance and supplement the effort of the WSU Master Gardener Program and thereby provide education and information to the citizens of Kitsap County. The group is all-volunteer, consisting of 180 Master Gardeners who raise funds for the program in Kitsap County. If you’ve ever talked to a Master Gardener at a farmers market diagnostic clinics, then you’ve seen the foundation at work. It’s the foundation that pays for the handouts and reference materials, and the tent and the chairs. While WSU Extension provides the training and expertise for all certified master gardeners, the foundation provides the funding for all the clinics across the county, and also at the Kitsap County Fair and the home shows. Likewise, if you’ve enjoyed the learning gardens at Anna Smith Children’s Park, Poulsbo’s Raab Park, Bremerton’s Blueberry Park or Kitsap Fairgrounds Heritage Garden, or the Olalla Food Production Garden, then you’ve also seen the foundation at work, because it’s their fundraising that makes these activities possible. Last year, Master Gardeners delivered nearly 2.5 tons of fresh organic fruits and vegetables to Kitsap’s food banks, all produced at learning and demonstration gardens. Master Gardeners are onsite tutors for the P-patchers at Blueberry Park and Raab Park.

Q
uality Heating, Electrical & Air Conditioning of Silverdale has more than 20 years experience and is the source for all your heating, cooling and electrical needs. From simple beginnings, when the company began in the back of a garage, it has become an award-winning powerhouse in leading-edge systems, customer service, and installation expertise. With three managing partners and 19 employees, the depth of HVAC and electrical services it offers throughout the West Puget Sound is substantial: installation, service and maintenance of air conditioners, heat pumps, air filtration systems, gas furnaces, ductless heat pumps, humidifiers, and duct sealing. Quality installs geothermal systems, air to water chillers, and ductless heat pump systems using advanced inverter technology. “I remember exactly how it all started,” CEO and co-owner Scott Park said. “In 1994, I was getting ready to retire from the Navy and I asked my family to give me a dream sheet of where they wanted to go. It
wasn’t long before we decided that we were already here, so I started Quality Heating that November in the back of my garage and a 1989 Aerostar Van. We’ve been growing ever since.” Soon partnering with co-owners, Quality Heating, Electrical & Air Conditioning quickly developed a reputation in business ethics, sales, quality installation and customer service. Quality has received endorsements from the Silverdale Rotary Club, Chapman University and the Bremerton Chamber of Commerce, among many others, and has received top industry awards from leading national brands — Coleman, Daikin, and American Standard. “We’re not your average company,” said co-owner Mike McElroy, a 33-year industry veteran who specializes in technical services. “We’re proud of our heritage and commitment to remain leading edge in offering system features, functionality and efficiency. This always translates to more value for every dollar customers spend on their quality comfort systems.” With 27 years of specialized HVAC experience, co-owner William Farrell manages installation operations and service.
“We’re very focused, working as a team across the entire organization and developing an organization that exceptional employees are attracted to,” Farrell said. “We are all like family here and the great value we put in mentoring, training and developing our people directly reflects in the superior customer service we give.” This year’s newest and most popular product is the Daikin Air Purifier. “I put this in my kid’s room and OMG this really works,” said Farrell. “Everyone needs to own one of these.” The Daikin Air Purifier is compact, lightweight and portable with user friendly features and functions, Park said.
