Silverdale Farmers market open for business BY CHRIS TUCKER

CTUCKER@CENTRALKITSAPREPORTER.COM

SILVERDALE – Fresh produce, flowers honey and smoked meat were some of the items available to customers during opening day of the Silverdale Farmers’ Market on Tuesday, April 28. Pheasant Fields Farm workers Ryn Warthen and Dani Morrisey were at the new location at the Old Navy parking lot setting up at 8 a.m. to be ready for the 10 a.m. start. “We are selling plant starts. We have tomato starts,” Warthen said, pointing to a table filled with spouts of plants in small pots. Hops, too, were for sale. “They’re the Cascade hops so they’re local and they’re the regional favorite,” Warthen said. Their market stand was set up at a new location, at the Old Navy parking lot, 9551 Ridgetop Blvd NW, in Silverdale. Previously, the farmers market was based at the Old Town Silverdale waterfront. Morrisey said around 80-90 percent of Pheasant Farms sales were through retail outlets such as the Silverdale Farmers Market or the Poulsbo Farmers Market. The rest of the sales were wholesale

SILVERDALE – Three red-jacketed Central Kitsap High School students watched as a shiny silver fist-sized printer head inside their MakerBot Replicator 3D printer shimmied back and forth. Slowly, the 3D printer applied one thin layer of neon-green molten plastic atop another to build up a “CKHS” nameplate, the text of which rose from the nameplate’s flat surface.

Teacher walkout leads to cancellation of school May 7 CENTRAL KITSAP – A teacher’s union walkout on Thursday, May 7, to protest legislative proposals on school funding led the Central Kitsap School District to cancel school that day. The district is asking parents to arrange alternate care for their children. All after-school activities and athletics for kindergarten through eighth grade will be canceled or rescheduled. Schools will start rescheduling activities and athletics and will communicate through their regular channels. All high school AP testing and after school athletics will continue as originally scheduled.

The union has been clear that this walkout is not directed at Central Kitsap School District or our community. It is part of a statewide effort to influence the Legislature. The union indicates that its purpose is to apply political pressure to do what teachers believe is right for students. The school board must approve any make up days. The district will propose making up the missed day of school on Wednesday, June 17. This date was originally scheduled on the district calendar as a possible makeup day. The district said it apologized for the inconvenience the walkout might cause to students and their families.

Razor blade traps found on Naval Base Kitsap BY PETER O’CAIN POCAIN@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

BREMERTON — Police at Naval Base Kitsap are investigating the discovery of razor blades apparently staged as traps aboard vessels at Puget

Sound Naval Shipyard. Seven razor blade “traps” have been found. First, in January 2015, for which evidence was discarded as it was thought to be an isolated incident, and then six in April. No injuries have been reported at

this time. Examples of the traps include: 4-5 razor blades built into masking material; several razor blades wedged between a black plastic box and keel block pointing straight up; and razor blades wedged between two lockers

Gas leak causes Myhre Road closure SILVERDALE – A construction crew that ruptured a one-inch gas line with an excavator caused a fitness club to be evacuated and a section of Myhre Road to be closed April 25. No one was injured and Cascade Natural Gas responded and closed off the leak. Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue responded to the area of 2400 Myhre Road at 9:30 a.m. and found the leak was fairly significant. The only open business nearby, Snap Fitness, was evacuated and construction workers were moved to the Lowes parking lot. While waiting for Cascade Natural Gas to respond, a section of Myrhe Road from the intersection of Mickelberry and Myhre awas closed. Presenting

Voters support emergency medical service funding Voters overwhelmingly supported renewal of the Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue EMS levy on April 28, 77.8 percent in favor and 22.2 percent opposed. A similar measure was approved by residents served by South Kitsap Fire and Rescue. CKFR asked its residents to renew, for six years, a levy of up to 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed property valuation to support emergency medical services. It’s a good investment. Fire districts receive no ongoing funding from federal, state or county governments. The majority of their revenue comes from property taxes. Your tax support ensures that when there’s a medical emergency, trained professionals will be there in response. CKFR serves more than 68,000 residents in a 115-square-mile area. In 2014, CKFR responded to 7,030 calls – 5,340 of which were medical-related. The levy renewal will pay for staffing of paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), required annual medical training and education, and the purchase, maintenance and operation of lifesaving medical supplies and equipment. There were no arguments filed in opposition to the levy renewal for the voters’ guide. And for good reason. As a statement in favor put it, “The EMS levy is the cornerstone of funding for a system that hires and trains EMS personnel, and purchases medical equipment, supplies, and vehicles necessary to provide both basic and advanced life support services.” CKFR is doing what it can to maintain levels of service which we have come to expect and which our growing area requires. That level of service — quick response time, equipment that works when it’s needed, and firefighters that are safe and well-equipped — is worth 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed property valuation. Voters agreed.

Why we should all be the Baltimore mom in yellow Last week, in the middle of the Baltimore riots that followed Freddie Gray’s funeral, there was one glimmer of hope, and she came dressed in a yellow tunic and bolero. Like an actual ray of sunshine shouting expletives, Toya Graham pushed through the crowds to get to her son, who was on his way to join the mayhem, and she instantly became both Mom of the Year and an Internet sensation. I suspect by now you’ve all seen the video. If you haven’t, you need to. And then you need to show it to your teenage sons. This is the power of Moms. My favorite part of the video is when Graham, in all her yellow glory, smacks her son, covered headto-toe in black, over the head. This isn’t because I condone striking children. I don’t. Rather, the mom in me instantly connects with Graham in that moment, when nothing—not cameras, onlookers, nor any parenting manuals on the bedside table— matters. You just want to save your child. As we watch Graham, we mothers nod in knowing appreciation. Maybe our child hasn’t attempted to join a riot, and maybe we haven’t slapped

Navy Wise

Sarah Smiley them over the head on national television, but we have been there, done that all the same. We have smacked the hand of the toddler who is reaching for the oven. We have followed our ornery pre-teen out the front door, yelling the whole way and still wearing a bathrobe. We have chased teenagers up the stairs and threatened to knock down their bedroom door. We have dragged our child out of class to yell at him in the hallway. We have chased our kids down the street on our bikes. We have shown up at parties to take them home. We have cut up drivers’ licenses. We have ripped video game consoles out of the

wall and smashed them on the closet floor. I personally admit to two of the stories above. The others are from mothers I admire. On the outside, we might all look a little crazy. That’s what’s so funny about the video of Graham, right? She looks like she’s completely lost her cool. But has she? We live in a society where everyone is afraid to take a stand. Parents worry about their children’s rights when they tell them no. Teachers worry about backlash from parents if they give a bad grade. Even Baltimore’s mayor asked that the rioters be given space to cause destruction. But not this mom. Not Toya Graham. No, she grabbed her son by the collar of his sweatshirt, dragged him to the other side of the street, and seemed to be telling us, in between expletives, Not my child, not while I still have breath. The mayor said, destroy things if you must. Toya Graham said, over my $%&@ dead body. I am not a violent person, and aside from the previously mentioned incident with the video game console, I generally strive to parent with a calm and steady head. But if one

“It was a warning about just how crazy a mom can get when she wants to protect you.” of my boys was about to do something that might get him arrested, or worse, shot, I can assure you that I’d be jumping on his back, pulling him to the pavement, and sitting on top of him if necessary. Because I am Mom, and I say no. I’m sure Graham’s son is embarrassed right now. He shouldn’t be. The truth is, all those other boys, the ones whose moms didn’t slap them over the head, secretly wish their moms had. They know that Graham’s mom loved him enough to bring him home. Imagine if every parent was brave enough to do the same? Our world might actually be a different place. Because when what you fear most is that look in your mom’s eyes, the one that means you’ve destroyed her and everything she ever wanted for you, there really isn’t anything else to fear. When what you fear is your mother crying in her bathrobe or chasing you

Congress must invest in research for cure for Alzheimer’s There are more than 100,000 Washingtonians living with Alzheimer’s disease, with more than 300,000 caregivers. For the past 16 years, I have volunteered to facilitate caregiver support groups in the cities where I lived, which included Loveland, Colorado, and Bremerton. I have seen first-hand how Alzheimer’s disease affects not only the person, but every member of their families, friends and even the healthcare system. As a clinical pharmacist, I am disappointed in how little progress we have made over the course of the past few decades toward finding a successful way to delay or eliminate this longterm disease. In addition to being the sixth-leading cause of death, Alzheimer’s is also the most expensive disease in the nation, costing families and taxpayers a total of $226 billion in 2015. That number will grow to $1.1 trillion in 2050, potentially bankrupting Medicare in the process. Just a few weeks ago, more than 1,000 advocates from all 50 states attended the Alzheimer’s Association Advocacy Forum in Washington,

D.C., where they met with our members of Congress and requested immediate action on Alzheimer’s disease. I want to thank Rep. Derek Kilmer for agreeing to send a letter to the Appropriations Committee in support of $300 million more for Alzheimer’s research in fiscal 2016 and for cosponsoring the HOPE for Alzheimer’s Act (H.R. 1559/S. 857) that will provide critical care planning to people newly-diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I hope we can count on Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray to support increasing Alzheimer’s research funding by $300 million. We must simultaneously support the families currently facing this disease. I urge both senators to cosponsor the HOPE for Alzheimer’s Act. Concerned citizens should contact senators Cantwell and Murray and ask that they join Rep. Kilmer in support of this crucial Alzheimer’s funding. Visit alz.org/advocacy to get involved with the fight against Alzheimer’s. – Gail Bosch, Bremerton.

down the street, well, at that point, police were just invented for backup. Graham’s son has a future. We know because of his mom in yellow who dragged him across the street and told him no. I can’t think of any other asset more important in this life than a parent who is willing to do that. Over the weekend, I showed the video of Graham and her son to my teenagers. The boys chuckled, yes, but they also smiled cautiously. I wondered if they were remembering the video game console incident. Or maybe they realized the video of Graham and my showing it to them was a warning. It was a warning about just how crazy a mom can get when she wants to protect you. It was a reminder, should they forget, that their mom really might chase them down—in a bathrobe or a yellow bolero. And someone might video it. And it will probably go viral.

Smile Partners dental program hopes to hit the road Organization offers preventative dental care to low-income children and seniors in Kitsap County BY LESLIE KELLY LKELLY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM

An 11-year-old program that offers preventative dental hygiene to low income children and seniors in the Puget Sound area is hoping to take their work on the road in their own mobile van soon. And by donating to them during the GreatGive on May 5, their goal of buying their own mobile dental hygiene unit may come true. According to Executive Director Imbert Matthee, Smile Partners has already received a $50,000 grant from Pacific Hospital Preservation & Development Authority towards the $75,000 budget for a dedicated dental hygiene van to serve schools in King and Kitsap counties. Smile Partners has also applied for additional grant money toward its goal. If additional grants are awarded, all funds raised through the GreatGive will be used to pay for treatment of low-income children who aren’t covered by insurance or whose families can’t afford the co-pay for services they need. Matthee said in past years, Smile Partners has been able to set up its portable equipment to provide dental hygiene services inside many schools. Recently, in many districts including the Bremerton Public Schools, rooms are not available due to increasing enrollments. Elementary schools have run out of room to set up portable classrooms and so Smile Partners has been bringing a mobile unit to serve its low-income students. A state-mandate to reduce class size will only add to the pressure for more space. “It’s been an issue for us at several schools,” Matthee said. “Without a place inside the schools to do the treatments, we’ve done the next best thing.” That has been to rent a dental van and drive it from school to school. But Smile Partners hopes to purchase its own van with the grant and with community support. The Great Give is a one-day online giving campaign in Kitsap County where anyone can give money to their favorite charity. Donations given that day have the potential to multiply through several ways including sponsors who have already given a pool of money and prizes. Smile Partners, itself, has raised about $10,000 in challenge grants to double GreatGive and GiveBig (in King County) donations this year. The Medical Teams International van that Smile Partners rents is a fully-equipped dentistry van which is more than what Smile Partners needs. So, getting a van and outfitting it for its specific needs is what they plan. They want to name it the Smile Coach and hope it should be in service by this September. Smile Partners was founded by

Kate Mills and Nan Bucklin-Hawkes, of Bainbridge Island. Mills returned to Bainbridge after working in California as a direct access dental hygienist. She knew she wanted to begin that kind of practice in Washington. So they started Washington State Smile Partners, a Bainbridge-based organization that offers direct access, preventative dental care to low-income school children and seniors in King and Kitsap counties. Smile Partners celebrated their 10-year anniversary in March 2014. This school year, Smile Partners has already served 7,600 patients in 77 schools across Kitsap and King counties where at least half of its students receive free or reduced lunches. It also now provides services to seniors, special needs patients and immigrants. Aaron Leavell, superintendent of the Bremerton School District, said

“This award ensures that several thousand children we will serve with the Smile Coach in the Puget Sound area have continued access to the care they need to keep their teeth healthy.” – Imbert Matthee, Exec. Dir.

he was pleased with the work Smile Partners has performed in the district. “I recommend Washington State Smile Partners to any community where the need can be met,” Leavell wrote in a recent letter. “This caring organization works closely with our school nurses when the screenings indicate an immediate dental problem needs to be addressed. We truly consider Smile Partners and their staff a valuable partner that fits perfectly into our overall goal of keeping our students healthy and ready to learn.” On a yearly basis, Smile Partners provides oral screenings, cleanings, fluoride varnish applications, sealants and oral health instruction and referrals. One of their goals is to get every child connected to a “dental home” since its services do not take the place of regular dental visits. The organization’s purpose is to try to prevent tooth decay altogether and direct patients to private practices if additional work is needed. “What we’ve learned is that if we have a consistent presence in the schools from year to year, we have the good fortune of seeing many of the same patients,” said Matthee. “This concept of continuation of care is really important,” he said.”Good oral health at home and preventative hygiene in the schools make

Smile Partners funds its services by pulling from three pots of income: Medicaid and private insurance

reimbursements, a low co-pay and community support through campaigns like the GreatGive. “We’re based on being as inclusive as we can,” Matthee said. Matthee said the $50,000 grant gets them well on their way to buying the Smile Coach. “The timing of the PHPDA grant could not be better,” Matthee said. “This award ensures that several thousand children we will serve with the Smile Coach in the Puget Sound area have continued access to the

care they need to keep their teeth healthy. We are extremely grateful to the Pacific Hospital PDA for making this possible.” Pledging to Smile Partners on May 5 is as easy as going to www.kitsapgreatgive.com. Donations made to Smile Partners for the Smile Coach will also help cover the taxes, licensing fees, insurance and the first year of fuel, maintenance and safe storage.

OLYMPIA – Washington is known for clean, tasty drinking water. And every year during the first week of May, state health officials honor the hardworking individuals who ensure the water coming out of our faucets is safe. “The safe drinking water running through the taps of Washington homes is all thanks to the water system operators and others who provide safe, reliable drinking water to millions of Washington homes year after year,” said Clark Halvorson, director of the agency’s Office of Drinking Water.

It takes knowledge, dedication, and hard work to operate a water system. During National Drinking Water Week, the state Department of Health honors those who accept this demanding job. Kitsap Public Utility District was awarded “Commitment to Excellence.” The PUD, which owns and operates around 150 water systems, is committed to help struggling systems in Kitsap County. Their award will be presented at 11 a.m. on May 7 at the Kitsap PUD office, 1431 Finn Hill Road, Poulsbo.

Harrison offers free skin cancer screenings SILVERDALE – Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than two million people are diagnosed annually with skin cancer. Harrison Medical Center, a part of CHI Franciscan Health, is holding two free skin cancer screenings on May 2 and May 9 at Harrison HealthPartners clinic in Silverdale to help educate the community and raise awareness about the dangers of skin cancer. A team of dermatologists will provide screenings, answer questions and provide tips on cancer prevention. Screenings are available to anyone aged 16 years and above. “In this area, people often think they are not at risk for skin cancer due to our climate,” said Dr. Irene Buño, a dermatologist at Harrison HealthPartners Family Medicine and Dermatology in Silverdale. “In reality, Washington has one of the highest incident rates in the nation and patients need to know about screenings and ways they can help reduce their risks.” The screens will be held Saturday, May 2, from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. and Saturday, May 9, from 8 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. at Harrison HealthPartners Family Medicine and Dermatology, 9927 Mickelberry Road, Suite 131, Silverdale.

the 3D printer and the computer application AutoCAD to create various objects for their computer assisted drafting class. In a small box next to the printer, dozens of plastic finger rings with “CK” printed on the front were available for passerby as souvenirs. A 3D-printed spaceship toy was also on display. The blue-colored spaceship was partially encased in a brown-colored 3D-printed support structure that was used to stabilize the structure during the printing process. The support structure would later be dissolved in water, leaving only the blue ship remaining. The students also used the MakerBot printer to create propellers for their homemade underwater roving vehicle. The propellers looked rough, but they worked. The props were mounted to small electric motors on the ROV. They said they used the ROV’s hydrometer to measure salinity at different water depths in Dyes Inlet. The students’ exhibit was one of dozens at the annual West Sound STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Showcase hosted at Kitsap Mall April 25. Event organizer and K-12 STEM outreach coordinator Corinne Beach said the purpose of the showcase was to expose children to STEM concepts in a fun way to encourage them to study STEM and then, later, to find their way into STEM-based careers. The purpose was “to get kids excited about different STEM activities,” Beach said. “This is to show them that educational type things can be fun.” By having students perform realworld tasks such as building a bridge from sugar cubes, they can apply learning concepts to the real world. “It’s not just crunching math problems,” Beach said, but actually building things. Hundreds of children and their parents perused the malls various STEM displays: One table showed how solar panels could generate electricity and use electrolysis to break water into hydrogen and oxygen. Then, the elements were recombined in a small fuel cell to create electricity

A large crowd gathered to see how much weight a suspension bridge made from nothing but wooden Popsicle sticks, wood glue and yarn could support before collapsing. North Kitsap High School junior Kate Pearson added more and more weight to the bridge that her class built over the course of several weeks. Amazingly, the bridge accepted each new weight that Pearson stacked onto it. Finally, at 142.5 pounds, the weight proved too much for the bridge to

bear. The tower of metal weights slowly tilted, and the bridge structure collapsed, much to the amusement of the crowd. Central Kitsap STEM coordinator Doug Dowell said 22 sites in the CK school system were involved in STEM programs with the help of its funding group, called Washington STEM. Previously the event had been held at Bremerton High School, but for the last two years it’s been held at the Kitsap Mall. “The mall has been a great partner,” Dowell said.

People are always excited to come,” Short said of opening day of the farmers market. His family ran their farm for four generations as a dairy farm, but six years ago switched from dairy to specializing in grass-fed beef. The farm has around 350 head. “Couldn’t get ahead in the world doing dairy … So 100 percent grassfed beef was the way to go,” he said.

COURT REPORT The following charges were filed in Kitsap County District court: Shawn M. Goodman, 26, of Bremerton, was charged with theft. In November, 2014, a woman attempted to withdraw $40 from her bank account and was told her account was empty. Goodman allegedly used the woman’s debit card to drain the account.

Governor signs ‘ticket bot’ consumer protection law OLYMPIA — Governor Jay Inslee signed Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s proposal to ban “ticket bot” software into law April 28. Ticket bots are computer programs deployed by scalpers to buy large quantities of tickets online to popular concerts and sporting events. Bots are often used to target the most desirable seats. The legislation bans ticket bot use and makes it a violation of the state Consumer Protection Act to sell software to circumvent, interfere with or evade any security measure or access-control system on a ticket seller’s website. “Consumers deserve a fair deal, and today we’re taking an important step toward ensuring that they get it,” Ferguson said. “Outlawing ticket bots will keep more of fans’ hard-earned money in their pockets, instead of fattening the wallets of scalpers trying to game the system.”

ITTLE BOSTON — Run to the hills … of North Kitsap ... to The Point Casino where the ladies of rock are gonna shake you all night long. And if you’re a naysayer who thinks they can’t handle the rock, well, you’ve got another thing comin’. In May, The Point Casino is hosting a month-long feature of tribute acts to some of rock’s most distinguished bands: AC/ DC, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin and Judas Priest. “It’s a lot of high energy, and a lot of fun,” said Mandy Reed, bass player for local favorite Hell’s Belles, an AC/DC tribute band. Reed hails from Bremerton, and the other members are Northwest residents. “It’s just good old rock ’n’ roll,” she said. “Adrian, our Angus, is all over the place. See ROCK, Page 3

Continued from page 1 We play the music well. It’s a really fun, high-octane show. Forget work, forget the day. Just go in and have a good time and let your hair down.” Hell’s Belles have been together for 15 years. Recently, its members formed another band that is also appearing at The Point: Belles Bent for Leather, performing the songs of Judas Priest. “It’s a lot of leather and guitar solos,” Reed said. “Amber, our singer, does a fabulous job singing Rob Halford. It’s just a lot of good visual and fun.” The Belles are just two of the four bands that will grace, and rock, The Point’s stage in May. Also coming to town is Zepparella, performing the hits of Led Zeppelin. Los Angeles’ The Iron Maidens will perform, you guessed it, Iron Maiden. Rock music has a heavily male-dominated history, but that hasn’t stopped some women from shredding their way to the top, and the four bands landing at The Point are no exception.

CONCERT SERIES At The Point Casino Event Center, 7989 NE Salish Lane (off Hansville Road), Kingston. n May 9: Zepparella (all-female Zeppelin powerhouse). n May 16: The Iron Maidens (the world’s only female tribute to Iron Maiden). n May 29: Belles Bent For Leather (Hell’s Belles alter ego tribute to Judas Priest). n May 30: Hell’s Belles (World-famous all-female AC/DC tribute band). Tickets: $10 advance, $15 day of show. Call 866-547-6468 or www. the-point-casino.com/ event-calendar /2015/05/ women-rock-in-may-0 “We definitely like to support the ladies playing music, for sure,” Reed said. “Nowadays, it’s more and more common. Back when I started, there wasn’t a whole lot of women playing. “I think you still get the skeptical people that come in and don’t think you can

do it. Unfortunately, that happens and there are still people that think that way. I like to school them a bit. When they come and see us play, they leave surprised. That’s the goal. We like to change the minds of naysayers.” Linda McDonald, drummer for the Iron Maidens, had a similar experience when the band formed 14 years ago, but things have changed since then. “The first shows, we were always met by audiences with crossed arms and they wouldn’t stand near the stage,” McDonald said. “They were disbelievers. It took half a song and it was over, hands were up and they come up to the stage. And they come back.” “They” have been coming back for 14 years. “It’s pretty remarkable, considering we started this all for fun,” McDonald said. “It was just something to do. We thought it would be fun to get out there and play some of the songs we loved. It just hasn’t stopped since then.” Iron Maidens attempts to recreate the arena experience on a smaller scale, McDonald noted.

hits of Led Zeppelin. The band formed nearly a decade ago and have been going strong ever since. “I wanted to learn the catalog of John Bonham and I mentioned that to my guitarist, Gretchen Menn, and she wanted to learn Jimmy Page’s stuff. And that was 11 years ago,” said Clementine, drummer for the band. “We really approach the material from a musical aspect,” Clementine said. “Everyone in the band (is a) really great musician. We like to stretch out an improvise in different part where allowed. There’s a nice cohesive musical joy coming from the stage.” From “The Wicker Man” to “Thunderstruck,” and “Breakin’ the Law” to “Ramble On,” The Point is set to 11 this May. For those women about to rock, we salute you.

Art meets poetry in Ars Poetica 2015 42 works in four venues BREMERTON — For four years, Collective Visions Gallery in Bremerton has been collecting — and then connecting — visions from West Sound poets and artists. Back in 2012, when Collective Visions Gallery first conceived of Ars Poetica, the project involved about 40 West Sound poets and artists. Now, four years later, the project includes works by 84 West Sound poets and artists. This year, for the first time, every one of the 42 jury-selected poets has had at least one poem chosen as inspiration for an artwork by one of the 42 participating artists. Where does the term “Ars Poetica” come from? In Latin, it means “the art of poetry” — title of a poetical epistle written about 20 BC by the Roman poet Horace. In his Ars Poetica, he wrote, “The making of a poem is like that of a painting,” and, “Painters and poets alike have always had license to dare anything. We know

that, and we both claim and allow to others in turn this indulgence.” Ars Poetica is continuing that tradition. In January, West Sound poets were invited to submit poems on any subject. Next, 60 of those poems, by 42 poets, were jury-selected and then presented to the 42 participating artists, who could each select one or more poems to interpret visually in any medium they chose — paintings, drawings, sculptures, fabric arts, photography, etc. One CVG artist, Susan Cavanaugh of Silverdale, selected the following poem, by Anne Kundtz, to interpret:

Unplugged If I listen to my headphones while walking I might miss the morning sky cutting blue lace into the dark fir trees,

Silverdale artist Susan Cavanaugh’s “Morning Song” is a visual interpretation of Bainbridge Island poet Anne Kundtz’s “Unplugged.” Courtesy of the artist

How did Kundtz, a Bainbridge Island teacher

and poet, come to write this poem? Here is what she says: “I have walked in my neighborhood nearly every day for 20 years, sometimes in the black of morning with a headlamp and sometimes in the late afternoon, exhausted from a day of teaching. “Often I walk with friends, or I listen to a poet or a podcast. But one day, that was all too much noise and I turned it all

off. It was lovely. I began to realize how much I was missing on those walks. What I was seeing, hearing, smelling then rose to relax and invigorate me. So I wrote a poem. “I am honored to be a part of Ars Poetica 2015. To blend art and poetry as a way to showcase local artists is a wonderful idea. As a middle school teacher, I’d love to see something of this sort developed at the teen

f that happens, our ferries are the best boats to fall off of. Our state ferries stop quickly and once stopped, the rescue boat can have you back aboard in under ten minutes. That’s important in our 50-degree water where exhaustion comes in 20 to 50 minutes. (Being chubby is a plus.) I learned this, and more, from the Spokane crew’s impressive person-overboard drill. If you see someone go overboard, tell the crew ASAP so they can get the ferry stopped. There’s a roving crew member on the car deck; on the passenger deck, telling the galley will get the word to the crew. Because it’s moving at 400 yards per minute, the sooner the ferry stops the more likely the rescue. Next, throw over a life ring. The orange life ring

FERRYFARE WALT ELLIOTT gives the crew a bright marker near where the person fell over. People alone in the water are hard to see, looking like a “bag of trash.” At a night rescue on Bainbridge, rings were thrown off from each side and the crew was able to head back between the life rings’ blinking lights to find the person. If someone else is nearby when someone goes overboard, have them tell the crew while you throw the ring and — this is important — keep sight of, and point to, the person in the water. Up in the pilot house, they’ll mark the position on their navigation screen while stopping the boat. Then they’ll shift control to the other end and head

There’s also a sling, which has been used to tow divers with tanks ashore at Edmonds. While all this is going on, the crew is assembling

the water nearby, go to it but don’t try to swim any distance. In our cold water, you won’t last long swimming. Kingston-Edmonds has a rescue about monthly, usually rescuing divers from the Edmonds dive park. Being unfamiliar with the hazards, divers become disoriented and exhausted and cannot get back to shore. Ferry crews routinely check buoys for divers hanging on, and check the water for bubbles when docking. If you’re buying a wet suit, consider an orange one as it’s easy to spot and doesn’t look like a seal to an orca. If someone turns up missing, the ferry stops, musters the crew and searches the boat. The Coast Guard runs the search and rescue and the ferry searches back down its track. So that’s one rea-

It later turned out he had been a witness in an out-of-state criminal prosecution. Hmm. In the last couple of years, there have been at least a dozen rail jumpers. Washington State Ferries inevitably pulls jumpers back aboard as they’re too weak to resist. Jumpers make lots of other riders late and also get a $5,000 fine. So, please don’t jump for any reason.

Meet the hard-working engineers of Carpenter Lake KITSAP OUTDOORS BETSY COOPER

n a recent walk to Carpenter Lake, the special bog behind Gordon Elementary School, we were pleasantly surprised to see that there was some urban renewal going on. Well, what I really mean is that we saw a bunch of trees had been downed and rearranged. Also, there were some areas with standing water that had just been damp before. We quickly realized that we were seeing the work of beavers. Beavers are nocturnal animals and are the largest rodents in our area (the only larger rodent is the capybara of South America). Wild beavers typically live about 10-12 years. They can be up to 3-feet long, including a flat tail that can itself be a foot long. They have an important relationship with water and are considered the natural water engineers of watershed, modifying water ways to create homes and places to shelter, feed and raise young. They can stay submerged under water for up to 15 minutes. To be so

Consider taking a trip to Carpenter Lake to view the changes being made by the lakeâ€™s resident Courtesy photo beavers. comfortable in the water, their noses and ears have valves that keep water out. They also have two layers of fur and produce an oily substance called castoreum, which they comb through their fur as a waterproofing. They forage for food and do their construction of dams and lodges at night, much of it underwater. Here are some amazing facts about beavers. They have fur-lined lips that close and seal behind their teeth so they can peal bark and carry branches

underwater. They use very strong teeth for gnawing trees, and other work with wood. Their teeth grow continuously through their lives and contain a large amount of iron, giving them strength and an orange color. They use these teeth to cut down trees for making structures they live in and for areas to store food. While they donâ€™t eat the trees cut down, they do strip and eat bark and consume smaller branches. They have colonies of microorganisms in their

You can see the affect they are having in the area around Carpenter Lake. If you take the short walk that starts in the Gordon Elementary parking lot behind the portable buildings and down the marked trail in the woods behind the school, you will encounter â€” just as you reach the boardwalk area â€” sections with standing water. Look to your left and you will see tree stumps with that characteristic whittled shape that shows beavers have chopped them down. When you look to your right farther on, you will see a beaver dam keeping the water level a bit higher than it had been before. This kind of engineering

gives beavers homes, but it also is beneficial along creeks because it increases shallow water habitat for young salmon. So, consider taking a trip to Carpenter Lake if itâ€™s been a while since you have been â€” or if you have never been. It is a rare sphagnum bog with a kettle hole lake in the middle located in our Carpenter Creek watershed. It is a wonderful place to view birds, specialized bog plants like sun dews (carnivorous plants) and Labrador Tea â€” and now, to see the signs of industrious beavers. â€” Contact Betsy Cooper at betsycooper1@gmail.com.

guts that allow them to digest cellulose. Beavers are vegetarians, eating bark, clover, water plant tubers, leaves and even apples. While they are food themselves for coyotes, weasels, eagles and domestic dogs, one of their important defenses is their lifestyle â€” living in and on the water. They are called natural water engineers because they build structures that hold water on the landscape so that the entrances to the dens/ lodges are hidden from predators.

Barbera finding a home in the Pacific Northwest Coyote Canyon Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills grows many varieties, including Barbera.

NW WINES By ANDY PERDUE and ERIC DEGERMAN

n its native Italy, Barbera is the thirdmost-planted red wine grape — after Sangiovese and Montepulciano — but here in the Pacific Northwest, it isn’t much more than a niche variety. But interest in the bright, rich red variety is beginning to grow as winemakers and consumers alike begin to stretch their imaginations and exploration of wines beyond Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Barbera is most often associated with the Piedmont region, which is in the northwestern corner of Italy. In Piedmont, Barbera is grown alongside Nebbiolo and Dolcetto. It ultimately is made into an approachable wine with lots of rich, ripe fruit backed by ample acidity and modest to low tannins.

Eric Degerman / Great Northwest Wine

This makes Barbera a perfect accompaniment to tomato-based Italian dishes such as pizza, lasagna, linguine and spaghetti and meatballs. Barbera has been

proven to grow well in a diversity of regions, and it certainly has found a comfortable home in the Pacific Northwest, particularly in the warm and arid Columbia Valley

of Eastern Washington. The dry, sunny conditions appear to be ideal for Barbera, and the handful of winemakers who work with the grape find it creates delicious, food friendly and crowd-pleasing wines. Here are five superb examples of Barbera, all from Washington and Oregon wineries. Each of these won a gold medal at the third annual Great Northwest Wine Competition, which was staged in March at the Columbia Gorge Hotel in Hood River, Oregon. These are made in small amounts, so ask for them at your favorite wine merchant or contact the wineries directly. ■ Lady Hill Winery 2013 Red Willow Vineyard Procedo Barbera, Columbia Valley, $25: Lady Hill Winery is in the

Willamette Valley town of St. Paul, Oregon, and it brings in grapes from throughout the Northwest. This luscious Barbera comes from highly touted Red Willow Vineyard in the western Yakima Valley and is crafted by winemaker Erik Brasher. Aromas of black cherry, cola and minerality give way to flavors of blackberry and boysenberry. Mild tannins provide just enough grip to create the perfect structure. ■ Coyote Canyon Winery 2012 Barbera, Horse Heaven Hills: $26: Mike Andrews owns this small winery in the Yakima Valley town of Prosser, and these grapes come from estate vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills. This expression of the racy Italian grape offers aromas of plump red and purple fruit, followed

“Barbera is made into an approachable wine with lots of rich, ripe fruit backed by a ample acidity and modest to low tannins.” by luscious flavors of blackberry, Bing cherry, sarsaparilla and a vein of minerality. Its mild tannins make this beautifully approachable. ■ Cathedral Ridge Winery 2013 Bolton Vineyard Reserve Barbera, Columbia Valley, $48: This young wine from a top Columbia Gorge producer in Hood River uses grapes from near Dallesport, Washington. The resulting wine opens with complex aromas of minerality, plump dark fruit and a hint of dark chocolate, followed by round, luscious flavors of espresso, blackberry cobbler and a touch of French vanilla. ■ Mt. Hood Winery 2012 Barbera, Columbia Valley, $28: Winemaker Rich Cushman crafts the wines for this Hood River producer. It opens with notes of cherry reduction sauce, sarsaparilla, horehound and slate. On the palate, it offers flavors of plush Rainier cherry, round pomegranate and ripe red plum. Mild tannins make this a delicious wine to enjoy now. ■ Cascade Cliffs Vineyard & Winery 2013 Barbera, Columbia Valley, $60: Longtime Columbia Gorge winemaker Bob Lorkowski is known for producing superb reds in boutique amounts, and this beautiful Barbera is another great example. It opens with aromas of elegant spices, ripe raspberry and a sprinkling of cocoa powder. On the palate, it offers flavors of Rainier cherry, black raspberry and pomegranate. Racy acidity provides ample structure, and this is a perfect wine to enjoy with rich Italian dishes. — Eric Degerman and Andy Perdue run Great Northwest Wine, a news and information company. www.greatnorthwestwine. com.

“Flavor Flours” will have you looking at — and using — flour in a new way.

By LISA GARZA

h, what a lovely surprise! This gorgeous cookbook — “Flavor Flours” by Alice Medrich — is such a gift in so many ways. The cookbook offers stunning detailed insight on using a variety of flours as “hero ingredients” for flavor, rather than as substitutions for wheat. There are more than 125 purely decadent recipes that will expand your palate and your mind. Medrich uses whole, ancient grains and nut flours that just happen to be gluten-free. Regardless if you have read one or all of Medrich’s cookbooks you know how brilliant she is with incorporating just a few ingredients that create a masterful mouthful of pure delight. Medrich started experimenting with non-wheat flours with her cookbook, “Pure Desserts,” and replaced a portion of the wheat for a new or different gluten-free flour. Much to her surprise, the recipes turned out more flavorful, delicate and decadent. So, in “Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunch Melt-In-Your-Mouth Cookies,” the ultimate cookie lover’s cookbook, she worked on a few more recipes with the new flavor flours and treated them as “hero ingredients” without wheat. So, after years of testing one recipe after another, it is time for all of us to celebrate the flavor and hero ingredients that Medrich calls “Flavor Flours.” I absolutely appreciate the organization and layout of “Flavor Flours,” which includes eight sections with fine points about each — rice, oat, corn and cornmeal, buckwheat, chestnut, teff, sorghum, Nut and Coconut flours. Each section includes recipes that shine the light on the specific hero ingredient. In addition, the final

elements section provides a wealth of knowledge on how to customize or accompany any recipe. This includes tips and tricks for bakers of all experiences. Just imagine Chocolate Génoise, Nutmeg Shortbread, Chestnut Jam Tart, Seed Crackers, Boston Cream Pie, Apricot Walnut Rugelach and Maya’s Chocolate Fudge Cake with Milk Chocolate Frosting or Dark Chocolate Soufflés! Plus so many more. Did I mention that “Flavor Flours” is 368 pages? Practically every page is filled with tantalizing photography that will make you want to dive into your kitchen to bake and indulge. A few years ago, when I met Medrich and had

a brief discussion about gluten-free flours, I couldn’t help but be giddy to think that Alice Medrich, a James Beard Award-winning author, was interested in baking with flours that happen to be gluten-free. I love this cookbook so much it will be the center of my coffee table and may never get to rest on a shelf. This cookbook is so perfectly exquisite that it makes a lovely gift for everyone. I think it is wonderful for any baker to expand their flour horizons and learn about the plethora of flours available to us. This lovely cookbook only needs a big red bow to give as a gift. — Read Lisa Garza’s blog at www.glutenfree foodies.co.

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND REVIEW Quiet protest expected: School grounds were expected to be quiet April 30 across Bainbridge Island as teachers walked off the job to protest the state Legislature’s inadequate funding of public education. Teachers and families planned to gather in downtown Winslow to greet morning commuters with signs displaying their displeasure for the lack of state funding. Educators also planned to caravan to Olympia to meet with Sen. Christine Rolfes, said David Layton, president of the Bainbridge Island Education Association, the union that represents public teachers on the island. There was to be no protesting in front of schools or on school grounds, Layton noted. “That’s not what the message is,” he said. “There’s still going to be classified people [on campus] and deliveries [going on] and we just want school to be neutral.” Parents were asked on April 27 to find alternate care for their school-aged children during the walkout. Afternoon activities were not expected to be impacted as teachers involved with after-school programs would be back from Olympia in time, Layton said. Layton has said repeatedly that the protest was not

aimed at the local school district, but rather at the state Legislature for not keeping its promise to fund education. — BainbridgeReview.com

BREMERTON PATRIOT Taiwan officials discuss economic development: Bremerton port commissioners were scheduled to host a delegation of officials from Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, for an economic development discussion and tour April 30 at Bremerton National Airport. The meeting, in the Bill Mahan Conference Room in the port administration offices, is open to the public. The delegation includes Andy Chin, director general of the Taipei Economic & Cultural Office in Seattle; and six Taipei business leaders. According to a special meeting notice issued by the port, Taipei and Bremerton officials were to “discuss economic development opportunities” in Kitsap. The Taipei delegation was welcomed at 9:45 a.m. by port CEO Jim Rothlin. Kitsap Economic Development Alliance executive director John Powers was scheduled to brief officials on Kitsap’s economy at 10:15 a.m. The mayors of Bremerton and Port Orchard, and U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Bremerton, were scheduled to

comment at 10:30 a.m., followed by comments from the members of the Taipei delegation. At 11:15 a.m., a tour of the airport and industrial park was scheduled, followed by lunch at Port Orchard’s Lighthouse restaurant. — BremertonPatriot.com

CENTRAL KITSAP REPORTER Central Kitsap cancels school for teacher walkout May 7: A teacher’s union walkout on May 7, to protest legislative proposals on school funding, led the Central Kitsap School District to cancel school that day. The district is asking parents to arrange alternate care for their children. All after-school activities and athletics for kindergarten through eighth grade will be cancelled or rescheduled. Schools will start rescheduling activities and athletics and will communicate through their regular channels. All high school AP testing and after-school athletics will continue as originally scheduled. The union has been clear that this walkout is not directed at Central Kitsap School District or our community. It is part of a statewide effort to influence the Legislature. The union indicates that its purpose is to apply political pressure to do what teachers believe is right for students. The school board must approve any make-up days. The district will propose making up the missed day of school on June 17. This date was originally scheduled on the district calendar as a possible makeup day. The district said it apologized for the inconvenience the walkout might cause to students and their families. — CentralKitsapReporter. com

NORTH KITSAP HERALD North Kitsap school festival raises money for food bank: The annual North Kitsap School District Festival of the Arts is a way for students to really “get their

creative juices flowing,” said seventh-grader Izzy Poole. Poole is one of many students whose work was shown during the festival April 29 at Kingston Middle School, which included students from every school in the district. Poole is one of the fashion students at Kingston Middle School who presented a fashion show during the festival, featuring artistic clothes made from garbage bags. The festival included performances by choirs, drummers, acrobats, guitarists, dancers and others. It featured fiber arts, paintings and drawings, pottery, a “make and take” section, a community papier-mache project and more. The location changes schools every year, said Kingston Middle School art teacher Diane Stewart. “As art teachers, we get an opportunity to really be the leader of it for a year,” Stewart said, “which is kind of exciting. Kind of exciting and a little nerve wracking.” Since this was Stewart’s year to be “the head honcho,” she added a unique feature to the festival: an Empty Bowls Drive. “It’s about a 25- to 30-year(old) thing, where artists make bowls and donate them, and then people will fill them with soup or salad or whatever the people decide, and then the people get to keep the bowls,” Stewart said. The bowls are “sold” for donations; the proceeds go to charity. At the Festival of the Arts, the bowls were filled with ice cream. Donations, suggested at $10, will go to ShareNet, a food bank and thrift store in Kingston.

The donations are tax deductible. “I wanted to make sure that I gave a clear message to my art students that I think art can make a real difference in the world,” Stewart said, “so whenever artists take their time and donate pieces of artwork and then give the money away, I think that’s a very important message — that they know that art really can save the world, like the bumper sticker says.” But the festival benefitted more than just ShareNet. It also benefitted students. “I think that we see a lot of athletes shining and we get to see a lot of people have a way to celebrate their uniqueness,” Stewart said, “and I think the Festival of the Arts really brings out a lot of kids that might be overlooked, and so I think it really gives some kids an opportunity to seriously shine.” Heidi Lenz said, “It shows (students) teamwork, working with others, getting ideas from all sorts of places and it just boosts their creativity and their social life.” Poole added, “It’s fun for people to look at their friends’ art.” — NorthKitsapHerald.com

PORT ORCHARD INDEPENDENT South Kitsap Fire and Rescue levy approved: Voters resoundingly approved South Kitsap Fire and Rescue Proposition No. 1 on April 28 to renew a property tax levy for emergency medical services for another six years. More than 76 percent of the 12,678 voters that cast ballots voted in favor of the resolution.

“We’re very pleased with the support of the citizens,” SKFR Fire Chief Steve Wright said. “I’m glad they were willing to continue to fund us at the existing rate.” The current levy, which expires Dec. 31, is 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation annually for South Kitsap property owners. The EMS levy covers for staffing paramedics and emergency medical technicians, equipment and supplies. SKFR serves more than 72,046 residents in a 117-square-mile area. In 2014, SKFR responded to 9,068 calls for service, an average of more than 24 calls per day from the 911 system. Medical-related responses totaled 6,157, 68 percent of SKFR’s calls. A simple majority was required to pass the levy. There were 9,661 votes in favor of the levy and 3,017 against it. SKFR’s current levy was last approved in 2009. “They tend to have a fairly good level of support,” Wright said. “We touch a lot of people with our call volume and I think people recognize that.” Wright said the EMS levy is 25 percent of the district’s tax collection. But, “70 percent of our work is medical emergencies,” he said. With the $1.50 fire levy and 50-cent EMS levy, the owner of a $200,000 home would pay approximately $400 a year for SKFR services. Wright said the EMS levy would generate about $3.5 million per year. — PortOrchardIndepen dent.com

ay is a great month to experience — and learn more about — some of the cultures of North Kitsap. The Suquamish people are one of the indigenous peoples of the Kitsap Peninsula. The Treaty of Point Elliott of 1855 made land in the region available for non-native settlement, and Norwegians began settling in what is now Poulsbo in the 1880s, attracted by similarity in climate and resources to their native country. Poulsbo’s population doubled and diversified during the Second World War. Today, people of Mexican and Central American ancestry comprise 10.9 percent of Poulsbo’s population, according to the U.S. Census.

LIBERTY BAY AUTO CENTER CELEBRATES ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY!

Reaching for another 25 years of great service BY LESLIE KELLY

nyone entering Liberty Bay Auto Center in Poulsbo might think they’ve stepped back in time, to the 1950s. They might think that they’re in a small diner and that the Fonz may come around the corner any minute. Although the decor is from the 1950s, the business is just completing its 26th year, and looking forward to another 25 or more. “I’d love to be right here in another 25 years, celebrating our 50th,” said owner Dean Church. “Our customers know we’re here for them today and we’ll be here for them tomorrow.” A community “celebration” of the business’s 25th anniversary happened last summer with a party in the parking lot where the band Jr. Cadillac played. But Liberty Bay Auto Center is happy to share its story of success with the Kitsap community. According to Dean, it

was his father Sandy who was the motivation behind Liberty Bay Auto Center which came to Poulsbo in 1989. Dean grew up on Bainbridge Island and feels

“First of all, I like to do business in Poulsbo when I can,” he said. “I’ve known Kevin (Hogan) my salesman for a long time. He’s been there forever. Liberty Bay has always treated me well ever since I bought my first car from about 15 years ago. In total, I’ve bought four cars from Contibuted Photo them.” Poulsbo Lumber, the future Liberty Bay Auto Center as it appeared in the late fifties. – Jeff Eagleson, owner of J.J.’s Fish House in Poulsbo that this plays an important part because this is where his roots are and where his children are growing up also. His father was a partner

with his brother-in-law at Bill Smith Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Toyota and Volvo in Bremerton for 20 plus years. “When I was young, I’d spend the weekends there,” Dean said. “My first job was to go around and pick up cigarette butts at the car lot.

Congratulations Liberty Bay Auto for 25 years of providing business and service to Kitsap! Thank you for your contributions to our Community!

“That was in the early 1970s “when most everybody smoked,” he said. But advancement was in his future. His next job was weeding, and then, eventually washing cars on the lot. “I was always interested in cars,” he said. “I loved working around them

and when I returned from Washington State University, I began selling cars for my dad in Bremerton.” When his father sold out of that dealership, Dean opted to sell cars in Seattle but soon found he missed the familiarity of folks in Kitsap County.

“I wanted to connect with people when I worked with them and that just wasn’t happening over there,” he said. “So I came back to Kitsap and worked at Parr Ford for a couple of years.” Dean and his father were looking for a location to begin a used car business. They discovered the right location when they found the former Poulsbo Lumber site at the Head of Liberty Bay in Poulsbo. “We looked all over Bremerton, Bellingham, Bellevue - but we ended up right here in Poulsbo,” Dean said. They began buying cars to sell, but until they had the needed permits, they couldn’t put the cars on the lot. “We had about 26 cars inside this building,” he said. “On the first day we opened, we pulled them all outside. We had five or six employees when we started.” Because the former lumber business building was so large, they also rented out space to individuals who needed somewhere

to store their boats. At the time they had a very small service department, and over the years, it, and the sales operation have grown to need every inch of space in the building. The building has been renovated and updated several times, including last year when they installed solar panels on the roof in order to be more energy efficient. It took Dean 17 years to buy out the stock of Liberty Bay Auto Center from his father, who worked in the business until about eight years ago. Sandy and Sally still reside in Hansville and spend winter months in warmer climates. Dean and his wife Sherri own the property as well as the building to the south, which houses Autoglass Clinic, Mobile Radio, and Performing Arts, a dance studio. Sherri is also the office manager and manages all the monthly financial statements. The auto center includes just about any make and model of car, and the company has two full time employees that are on the road buying late-model lowmileage cars, according to Doug Haughton, general manager for Liberty Bay. “We get them from lease returns, from residents who have received orders with the military to move overseas and can’t take their cars, to others who advertise their cars for sale,” Haughton said. “We buy other dealers’ trade-ins and we do buy at the auctions.” At any one time, Liberty Bay has about 65 to 75 cars on its lot and as far as turn over, Haughton said just about every car, every month comes in and goes out. “Our business model is to bring in barely used cars, and get them on their way to a new owner,” he said. “But we do that by

General Manager Doug Haughton matching cars to customers in a way that doesn’t include pressure sales.” Instead, he said, employees listen to the customers’ needs and help them choose the right automobile. “We consider ourselves consultants,” he said. “Our sales people have the ability to understand the needs of our customers, and then work diligently to meet those needs. It’s not about shoe-horning some one in to a car because they happen to drool on it on the way in.” It may be that the customer needs a bigger car, something that seats more people. Or it may be that they need a newer car but have financial concerns. Or it may be that they just

want to make their neighbors jealous. “We listen,” Haughton said. “That’s why our customers return again and again. We treat them like family, with respect. It’s not like they’re dollar signs to us. They’re not a number.” Haughton has been with Liberty Bay Auto Center for many, many years and a part of Deans family before Liberty Bay Auto Center opened. He’s been in the car business for 53 years. “I’m actually thinking about making it my career,” he joked. As a youngster, he loved cars and he knew that’s what he wanted to do when he got older. He met Sandy Church 35 years ago when they worked together at a

dealership in Bremerton. It’s Haughton who brought about the 1950s diner-style look to the car business in Poulsbo. Besides being a fixed-wing and helicopter pilot, he collects and restores automobile related signs, memorabilia and gas pumps. “I’ve got some in my airplane hangar, at my house, and I’ve restored all of these that are owned by Dean and Sherri,” he said, pointing around the car showroom. “I’ve been doing this for years, and in 1999, when I became general manager here, I converted the place and gave it this theme.” Among his favorites are a 1929 bright yellow Wayne gasoline pump a 1951 Erie pump which he restored from looking as if they were just junk, to a pristine condition. “In rust we trust,” he joked. “I tell people rust is my favorite color.” In the showroom, sales desks look like 1950s tables at the diner. Each has a personalized license plate with the sales person’s name on it in their booth. And there’s a red and white diner booth in the front of the showroom for customers to sit at while they wait. Vintage bicycles sit on the showroom floor near a couple of modern-day cars that are for sale. Every wall is covered with old photographs and signs such as the “Approved Packard Service” sign. “We like to have fun here,” Haughton said. “But we take our customers’ needs seriously.” In fact, he and Dean think that’s why the business has succeeded. “We see our customers at the grocery store and all around town,” Dean said. “We want to be able to know that they’re happy with their purchase, ser-

vice repairs and detailing so we make every sale right and we do what we need to to see that that happens.”

“I’ve been with Liberty Bay Auto since Sandy first bought it. I knew him from the dealership in Bremerton and then he started the used car business in Poulsbo. “I’ve bought cars from Liberty Bay and so has my son. It’s absolutely the only place I’d go. – Jerry Cooper, retired Poulsbo Fire Marshal All vehicles come with a full tank of gas, a second set of keys and a free first lube, oil and filter change, 90 day warranty and a 48 hour money back guarantee. In 2014, the auto business sold 1,500 cars and completed 10,000 repairs. It averages 800 to 900 repairs a month in its service & detail division which will work on cars whether or not they were purchased at Liberty Bay Auto Center. Liberty Bay is known for its complete service, which includes vacuuming and a car wash with every service. Liberty Bay Auto Center has top ratings from American Automobile Association and has been named a Top Shop by AAA for multiple years. It has been voted as the West Sound’s Best Dealership in Kitsap County for many years straight. They have also received Five Stars from EnviroStar for its environmental work. Besides the solar energy they store and use, they also use LED lights inside

and out and have replaced florescent tubes with T8 energy-saving tubes. “We want to be very efficient with our use of energy,” Dean said. “It’s fun to see the meter slow down and see that we’re saving energy in the long run.” In all, Liberty Bay employs 45 people in administration, service, detail and sales. Many of them are long term employees like Russ Shorten, a service technician who has been with the dealership since day one. Salesman Kevin Hogan has been with the company for 16 years. “This company sells a nice product,” Hogan said. “And we take care of our customers before, during and after the sale. It’s just not that way at other dealerships.” Hogan said there are no gimmicks when they sell. “We’re here to serve our customers,” he said. “We’re not out here to make quotas or pressure sell anything. We really want to fit our customers with what they need so they’ll be back when they need their next car. And that happens all the time.” In fact, Liberty Bay Auto Center has sold cars to many families whose children and grandchildren are now buying cars from us. Like their motto says, “We’re the friendliest car store on the planet,” and that’s another reason Haughton thinks they’ve been so successful. “We look at our customer base as a long term relationship, not just a one-time sale,” he said. “Generations have come here. We know families and we watch them as they grow. It’s like we’re all just one big family.”

Happy 25th Anniversary Liberty Bay Auto Thank you for being a huge and positive part of our community. We appreciated winning your traveling t-shirt contest. Congratulations on 25 years! - Todd & Sue Tidball

The Autoglass Clinic & Mobile Radio Serving Kitsap County Since 1982 33 years ago Ron Ohnhaus followed his dream to start his own car accessory business after serving in the Navy for 10 years as a Sub Mariner. He started the business out of the back of his 1972 Volkswagen installing radios for car dealerships and at night repairing radios at his kitchen table. It didn’t take long before Ron Ohnhaus built the business into several stores in the Kitsap area. In 1998 he merged Mobile Radio with another well known business in Poulsbo, The Autoglass Clinic, owned by a friend Doug Haughton. This would make for a great partnership with both having the same grass roots customer service and quality workmanship as their #1 priority. Doug and Ron retired from the business to start new ventures. For Ron it was as a Farmers Agent in Bremerton and for Doug, General Manager of Liberty Bay Auto Center. Ron Ohnhaus Jr. started the second generation of the 4 Bremerton First location in 198 and his children aus. company in 2000 with his wife Adrienne who is the Ron Ohnhaus Sr. an Laura Ohnh Ron Ohnhaus Jr. d Office Manager for the Company.

The Kitsap Great Give The Kitsap Great By Kol Medina, Kitsap Community Foundation Executive Director

What is the Kitsap Great Give? 2014 was the first year of the Kitsap Great Give. In that first installment, over 2,000 different donors gave $540,000 to 200 nonprofits working in Kitsap County. Simply put, that was the greatest single day of charity that Kitsap County has ever experienced! This year, in the second year of the Kitsap Great Give, the goal is to raise at least $750,000 in online donations for local nonprofits. Whether or not we reach that goal and provide this amazing gift to our local nonprofits is up to you and the thousands of other residents of this County who we hope will participate on May 5. No donation is too small, so please take part in the Great Give.

Why should I bother to donate online on May 5? There are lots of reasons to take part on May 5. First, you’ll be part of something bigger than yourself, a group of thousands of people who donate that day to celebrate and support 230 nonprofit organizations working in every corner of the Greater Kitsap area. If we all take part, we can smash the goal of raising $750,000 that day! Second, this is your chance to learn about all of the wonderful nonprofits that are working hard every day to make our communities better places to live, work, and play. At www.kitsapgreatgive.org you can view the profiles of 230 nonprofits that work in Kitsap County. Third, any donations you make

This publication is produced by:

that day will be magnified by sponsors of the event. For instance, if you donate $100 to a nonprofit through www.kitsapgreatgive.org that day, the nonprofit will actually receive $110, $115, or more dollars. You see, some very generous sponsors have donated over $140,000 to this event. That money will be given to all of the nonprofits taking part on May 5 – the more donations a nonprofit receives, the more of the $140,000 they will receive. So make sure you donate to your favorite nonprofits on May 5 and help them get part of that $140,000!

Give’s Sponsors

Finally, there are fun prizes throughout the day. For instance, between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. that day, one donor will be randomly chosen each hour. The winning donor each hour will have $250 added to their donation! Take part on May 5 and help “your” nonprofits win these prizes!

Presenting Partner

Lead Sponsors $20,000 +

Sponsors $10,000

So how exactly does it work? It’s very simple, really. For 24 hours, from 12:00 a.m. on May 5 until 11:59, May 5, you can go to www. kitsapgreatgive.org, look through the 230 local nonprofits listed there, and donate as much or as little ($10 minimum) to as many nonprofits as you’d like in a single transaction using a credit card. That’s it. The website will keep a running total in real-time of the total amount raised so far; so you can check in throughout the day and see if we’re getting close to the $750,000 goal. And you can also see, in real-time, how much money each of “your” nonprofits has raised that day. Help nonprofits. Help our communities. Win prizes for your nonprofits. Feel good about yourself. Please be a part of the biggest day of charity in our County’s history!

The Importance of Charitable Giving in our Communities

Mother Teresa once said, “To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.” I like to think of this quote in the context of philanthropy (charitable giving). I think of the size of the flame in the lamp as a sign of the health of our communities; and I think of philanthropy as the oil in the lamp. Charitable giving, the dollars and time that we all give to nonprofits in our community, has a huge impact on the size of the flame because the nonprofits in our community provide so many of the services and qualities that make our communities healthy. The Kitsap Great Give is designed to put a lot of oil in our communities’ lamps. If we all take part in the event, we’ll raise over $750,000 for nonprofits in our community on May 5. It will be the largest day of charity ever experienced in this County, the single greatest injection of oil ever made into the lamp! 230 different nonprofits are eligible to receive your donations at www.kitsapgreatgive.org on May 5.

That’s 230 organizations that educate our children and adults, protect and improve our environment, take care of our elderly and disabled, provide fun and meaning through arts and culture, support our veterans, provide food to the hungry, give clothes to the poor, and help to heal those suffering from drug addictions and mental health issues. I encourage you to go to www.kitsapgreatgive.org on May 5 and, if nothing else, just look through all of the nonprofits listed there and see the immense benefits that nonprofits and philanthropy bring to our community. We need to keep all of these lamps burning brightly. As it stands already, a lot of oil is put into our nonprofit lamps in the greater Kitsap area. In 2012, a massive study was released showing the level of giving in each community around our country in 2008 (you can look it up online at “How America Gives” and search by your city). This study found

that the good citizens of Kitsap County donated over $105 million dollars to charity in 2008. And the study was only capturing about 60% of actual giving, which means it is likely that members of our community –you, me, and all of our neighbors in this County – donated over $150 million to charity in 2008. That ranks Kitsap County as the 255th most giving county in the country (out of 3,115 counties). Also of note is the total revenue of the nonprofits in our community. There are approximately 250 public charities based in Kitsap County. In 2012, they had a combined revenue of $650 million. That’s $650 million that these nonprofits spent to help us, our neighbors, and our families and to make our community a better place to live, work, and play. Please support these nonprofits by putting oil in the lamp at www.kitsapgreatgive.org on May 5!

Once again United Way of Kitsap County would like to thank both the Kitsap Community Foundation for establishing the Kitsap Great Give and all of the many sponsors who have contributed to the local matching pool of dollars. This year, thanks to the great success of last year’s Great Give, the sponsorship pool is increased over last year; that means even more matching dollars for those who contribute this year. The Kitsap Great Give is a growing opportunity for not only the participating charities, but for the donors, and the community as a whole. Remember, all of the funds raised on this one day of giving will go to the hard working and dedicated

nonprofit agencies throughout Kitsap County that make up our community’s safety net. This network of nonprofits, including United Way and the Kitsap Community Foundation, strive every day to provide a safety net services to help the less fortunate and vulnerable families struggling to make ends meet each day. These services are critical to providing safe, warm housing and adequate food on the family table. As a Presenting Partner alongside the Kitsap Community Foundation, we are invested in the Kitsap Great Give’s matching funds pool and pledge that every dollar pledged to United Way on May 5th will also be invested in programs that help people in our community who are struggling to survive. We are committed and work hard every year to raise charitable dollars to meet the most critical needs facing the Kitsap

Communities. The Kitsap Great Give is one more way to help the safety net of health and human service agencies aid those most in need. Together we can help lift individuals and families out of poverty and create a better life for their children. To those who participate in this day of giving, we thank you in advance for partnering with United Way, Kitsap Community Foundation and all of the Great Give Sponsors for your gifts. It is through charitable giving that the Board of Directors at United Way and the Kitsap Community Foundation are able to help provide a strong and vibrant community safety net giving those most vulnerable in our community an opportunity for a better life.

If there was no hospital? This is the story for many in Burkina Faso, the most illiterate country in the world. Last summer, Mohamed, a boy who came down with meningitis, and his parents had to travel on a bicycle 20 miles to the nearest hospital. They were turned away because the hospital was concerned he would contaminate other patients. This happens every day around the world because people do not have access to such basic needs like health care, clean water and education. When you give to Walk In the Light International (WITLI), on May 5th, you become part of the solution. Founded in 2009, WITLI's goal is to give children, like Mohamed, an opportunity to be the change-agent of their future, their families and their country.

People need people! When we're young, we work, raise families, and socialize. As we grow older, especially in rural communities, retirement and health issues often isolate us. This isolation can bring on depression, compound illnesses, and even lead to untimely death. Since 2001 Faith in Action has been supporting the seniors of North Mason and South Kitsap by providing volunteer-based, free, non-medical services. In 2008, in response to the unmet needs of our senior's for community we began fundraising for the HUB Center for Seniors. The HUB is now being built at 111 NE Old Belfair Hwy. in Belfair. Even though building has begun, we are still in need of funds to finish and furnish the first class facility that our senior's deserve. Partner with Faith in Action and honor your senior family members, friends and neighbors by giving them a warm and loving place to thrive. For more information call Patti at: 360-275-0535.

It is a chance for people to support their local community and the Marine Science Center, learn about marine life, while working with the public.There are at least two volunteers are on duty whenever the Center is open and there are two three-hour shifts per day (10:45-1:45 and 1:15-4:15, Thursday – Sunday.) Volunteering at the MSC is fun, you get to learn more about the marine animals by observation or reading the available books, and you get to meet some great people. Donations can be made directly to the Poulsbo Marine Science Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit, at the center. The Center depends upon volunteers to help with a range of tasks. Volunteer orientation classes are held each month. Training is available for feeding fish, docenting, helping with educational programs, and many other tasks.

St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store and Assistance Office was established in Bremerton in 1937, as the charitable works of Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic church in West Bremerton. In 1984 the Thrift store moved to 1117 N. Callow and the Food bank and Assistance Office to 1137 N. Callow. The Assistance Office and Food Bank serve food baskets, government commodities, clothing furniture, furnishings, school supplies and various other types of assistance, which includes rental and utility funding to all those in need. Special holiday food baskets are available for families struggling during the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter holidays. Compassionate assistance is given at no cost and without discrimination. Our main service area is the Bremerton School District, however, some assistance stretches county wide, largely depending on availability and funding.

*Amount of the matching pool match depends upon amounts raised and is not guaranteed.

We are proud to partner with the non-profits in Kitsap County

St. Vincent de Paul operates the Birkenfeld Stella Maris House, a 17 bed women and childrenâ€™s shelter. Women and children are provided with safe housing, food, bus passes, case management as well as other services to help them re-build confidence in themselves, learn basic life skills and become self-sufficient. All donations made to the St. Vincent de Paul Assistance Office go directly to fund the programs provided to those in need. Donations made to the Thrift Store are sold with proceeds also going to help fund various programs.

We pride ourselves in being your number one community news source.

St. Vincent de Paul keeps the operating costs low with the main work being completed by an army of treasured volunteers.
