KINGSTON Contention over how Kingston Adventures operates at the Port of Kingston

resulted with a notice for the busi-ness to vacate.

The Port of Kingston issued Kingston Adventures a 30-day notice to vacate its eight kayak storage racks due to ongoing violations of [its] kayak stor-age agreement and [Kingston Adventures] refusal to enter into

a commercial agreement gov-erning its commercial use of the Ports public facilities.

Kingston Adventures has refused to sign a commercial use agreement with the port, accord-ing to a letter from Port Manager David Malone. The port requires an agreement from all commer-

cial tenants, which is adjusted based on a tenants business. A use agreement requires tenants using the ports facilities for com-mercial gain to provide insurance coverage, hold the port harmless of any injury or damage done on port property, and comply with rules and regulations.

Kingston Adventures owner Beth Brewster said the dispute is about more than paperwork.

The port is evicting the last [female-owned] business on port property, she said. There is no other way to look at it That is the truth.

KINGSTON A region-al economic development official believes Kingston has more potential than Silverdale to incorporate as a city.

As a city, Kingston would have more direct control over local economic develop-ment.

I predicted that Kingston will incorporate, whenever that is, before Silverdale does, because Kingston is an organic commu-nity. Silverdale isnt, Ed Stern said after a May 8 luncheon hosted by the Greater Kingston Economic Development Committee at the Kingston Cove Yacht Club.

[Silverdale] was pasted together. People dont nec-essarily identify with the community [in Silverdale], rather, its an area they live in. Kingston has been there

KINGSTON The Oak Table Cafe will move from Kingston to Silverdale next year.

Owners Ross and Nikki McCurdy said they are sad to be leaving Kingston, but they are excited about the new opportuni-ties Silverdale will bring.

The location in Kingston, adja-cent to the Firehouse Theater, will be for lease in spring 2015, and the Oak Table will be open for business until then.

We are grateful for the oppor-tunities that have come about from being here, Nikki McCurdy said. Hopefully, Silverdale has as good of taste as Kingston does.

The McCurdys said they have always dreamed of owning their own property and building a res-taurant from scratch. Two years ago, they began looking, and last year they bought and committed to the property. Since they live in

Poulsbo, a Silverdale loca-tion was in the best proxim-ity for having two restau-rants. The owners intended to keep the restaurant in Kingston as well, but it ended up being fiscally impossible.

Were sad to be leaving Kingston, Ross McCurdy said. Weve been part of the community for five years now.

The Oak Table has given over 3,000 meals away since

opening May 6, 2009. The McCurdys are passionate about supporting schools and children in the com-munity, and they frequently donate to school auctions, they said.

The Oak Table is also the location for a Guinness World Record. On Aug. 13, 2013, Ross McCurdy set the record for most pancakes made in one hour by cook-ing 1,092. Those pancakes were free for people who attended the record-break-ing event.

I wish them well, Firehouse Theater owner

Craig Smith said. Theyre a hard-working young couple and they deserve the best. I had a great relationship with them, and theyll be missed.

The Oak Table Cafe in Sequim is owned by Nikki McCurdys parents, Mary and Bill Nagler. It opened in 1981 and was a family busi-ness from the beginning. The McCurdys hope to fol-low the Naglers example of owning their own prop-erty and building their own restaurant. The Oak Table really is a part of my family, Nikki McCurdy said.

All the employees from the Kingston location will have the opportunity be transferred to Silverdale, although there is no con-tract requiring them to. Of the Oak Tables 25 employ-ees, fewer than half of them live in Kingston. For many who live in Poulsbo, Silverdale and the sur-rounding area, the transi-tion will not be difficult.

Were a family, and we want to stay together, Nikki McCurdy said.

The menus, dishes and look will be the same as well. The new location has no definite address yet, but the plot is on Mount Vintage Way, near Target.

KINGSTON Scott Henden said he plans to stay on the North Kitsap School Board if elected 23rd District state represen-tative, position 1.

His school board term

ends in 2015 but, he said, If 2015 was tomorrow, I would run again.

There is no district policy against a school board member serving in the state Legislature, according to NKSD Superintendent Patty Page. However, she said she is unsure of the feasi-bility of doing both jobs.

That opinion is echoed by Sherry Appleton, who is running for a sixth term.

My feeling is you cant serve two masters, she

said. We work 105 days straight, 24 hours a day answering emails and calls.

One state legislator serves in two elected posi-

tions. Tim Sheldon, a state senator from the 35th District, is also a Mason County commissioner.

Henden, a Republican, filed as a candidate for state representative because he believes he has something to offer.

I think our state is not serving its citizens well, Henden said. Id like to

think I have something to offer people thats not being offered We can do bet-ter.

Henden, owner of

Henden Electric and a long-time Kingston resi-dent, filed to run against Appleton, a Democrat, on May 14. He was elected to the North Kitsap School Board in 2011.

Henden thought about fil-ing as a candidate for state representative for about six months. He and Appleton have some nice contrasts, Henden said.

For one, Henden opposes establishing a state income tax.

As a business owner,

Henden said hes seen work by local businesses delayed because of state regulations. Permitting and inspecting, for example, can be slow-going, especially with cut-backs to state employment.

Henden would like edu-cation funded first, he said. Funding education may require debate, but at least get it off the plate first, he said.

He doesnt agree with Gov. Jay Inslees suspension of the death penalty.

I think the right outcome is that we need capital pun-ishment as a final thing, he said.

Henden would stay on board while repOthers unsure of feasibility of doing both jobs

a long time. It has been growing slowly and has an identity. It lends itself to a discussion of incorpora-tion.

Stern is most known locally as a member of the Poulsbo City Council. He was, however, invited to dis-cuss economic development with Kingston residents in his role as president of the board of the Puget Sound Regional Councils Federal Economic Development

District.The topic didnt take off

in conversation much fur-ther than Sterns speech.

He brought [incorpora-tion] up two or three dif-ferent ways, said Jerry Kirschner of the Greater Kingston Economic Development Committee. No one in the audience commented on it signifi-cantly.

He added, I think [incor-poration] will probably con-tinue to come up.

Kirschner commented that being an unincorpo-rated Kingston can have

advantages, but it can also be a double-edged sword.

You dont have a lot of resources and services that an incorporated community has, he said. The other edge is that if you want to do something, you get involved and do it yourself. And I think that plays to the strengths of Kingston. A lot of people volunteer their time and get things done in Kingston.

Sterns nod toward incor-poration came in tandem with his main point that Kingston should be careful what it wishes for.

You dont want to bring something into the com-munity that the community doesnt really want, but a few do who are convinced that economic development is the goal, he said.

In other words, wanting to become economically vital is a good goal, but it must be done with all inter-ests involved. One method of inclusion is incorporation.

Incorporation is a feed-back loop and that can be very important, Stern said. Obviously, if you are incor-

porated you are [acting on the] votes of your citizens, instead of advisory commit-tees.

Kingston had 2,099 resi-dents in the 2010 Census, with 1,040 housing units. The median age is 47.7; the median household income is $44,375, according to the Census.

Public services are pro-vided by Kitsap County; law enforcement is provided by the county sheriffs office.

Closer to home, fire pro-tection is provided by North

Kitsap Fire & Rescue. Kingston voters estab-lished and fund the Village Green Metropolitan Park District to maintain Village Green Park. The Kingston Citizens Advisory Council takes local concerns to the County Commission.

Cityhood brings a sense of local control and self determination, he said. But Stern realized that the topic isnt popular with everyone. He was also aware that his

Park is designed; grant is next step

On April 23, we, the undersigned commission-ers of the Port of Kingston, approved the landscape architects design for a proposed park on the site of the old Kingston Inn. The design will be the centerpiece of the ports application for a grant from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and is available on the ports web-site at www.portofkingston.org.

At this milestone, it is appropriate for us on behalf of the community as a whole to express sin-cere thanks to the donors of the property and the Kitsap Community Foundation. Our personal thanks, also, to the many members of the public who shared their thoughts and ideas at public meetings, filled out surveys and offered their comments and opinions of the draft designs via email and in-person visits with the port staff.

Finally, we also thank the port staff, both past and present, for their patience and hard work in getting the project to this point in the process.

Beginning with the clean-up of nine years of accumu-lated debris left after the 2005 fire that destroyed the Kingston Inn, the staff has worked hard, conducting public meetings, collect-ing and tracking all of the publics comments, ideas and suggestions and then researching and distill-ing it all into a compelling grant application. There is no denying that the pub-lic debate on the design of the park became spirited at times, but no matter how spirited the debate became, there was always a sense of

everyone caring and want-ing to do what is best for Kingston. For that, we are grateful to be part of the Kingston community.

If the port is awarded a WWRP grant, we would expect to begin construc-tion of the park in the spring of 2015.

With the submission of the grant application, how-ever, the port has achieved a significant step in a project that was initiated in early 2013 by the donation of this property by the anon-ymous donors through the Kingston Community Foundation. WWRP grants are very competitive; there is no guarantee of receiv-ing a grant in the current grant cycle, but we will keep working for as long as it takes. We are committed to bringing the donors vision of a public open space to fruition on what is argu-ably the most visible face of Kingston.

Again, our thanks to the donors, KCF, port staff and the residents of Kingston for their respective contri-butions to this process.

Foster parents, thanks for all you do

Foster parents dedi-cated to providing spe-cialized therapeutic fos-ter care homes as part of the Intensive Childrens Services therapeutic fos-ter care program of Kitsap Mental Health Services were recently honored with a luncheon on May 9 at West Sound Technical Institutes Three Seasons Restaurant.

These extraordinary and talented community mem-bers have been improving

the lives of foster youth with behavioral and emo-tional needs through KMHS Intensive Childrens Services foster care pro-gram. As foster parents, they have given years of service to help local foster youth stabilize their behav-iors and their lives through their commitment to provid-ing caring foster homes.

Our foster parents have been doing wonderful work with local foster youth and their dedication to the chil-dren in their care deserves more recognition than is possible in any one after-noon together. We know that many children in our schools and in our commu-nities have had their lives redirected and restored through the dedication and care of our foster parents.

Thank you for all that you do!

Its election season, and what an election season it will be: 55 candidates filed to run for 28 offices countywide. Only sheriff candidate Gary Simpson, treasurer candidate Meredith Green, public utility commission candidate Jim Civilla, and some judge candidates are running unopposed.The primary election is Aug. 5; the general election is Nov. 4. We welcome letters to the editor about candidates and the issues. To ensure there is a place on our Opinion pages for as many voices as possible, heres a reminder of our policy on election-related letters to the editor.1. The word limit for letters to the editor is 350 words. If your letter exceeds the word limit, we may edit it or return it to you so you can edit it.2. Letter writers are limited to one letter a month. This helps ensure that there is room for as many voices as possible.3. Letters must include name, address and telephone number for verification purposes. 4. Letters we will not publish: Letters from candidates, their families and campaign managers; form letters; and letters that are submitted anonymously. (Candi-dates, take note: On our news pages, we will cover your campaigns and let readers know about upcom-ing candidate forums and campaign appearances.)The purpose of our Opinion pages is to foster con-versation and reflective thought. We ask writers to be respectful, refrain from personal attacks, and stay focused on issues.Many times, a letter will prompt a response from an-other reader. Thats great, but we sometimes have to remind writers that when they start a conversation by submitting a letter, they shouldnt expect an oppor-tunity to pen a response to everyone who disagrees with them. If we allowed response-to-response let-ters, our Opinion pages would be dominated by fewer voices repeating the same points and issues they had raised in previous editions, and there would be no room for other writers to share their viewpoints.We realize it can be tough for some people to not get the last word in on a topic. They can continue their conversation on our website or Facebook page.Its a balancing act to make sure each edition re-flects a diversity of opinions and viewpoints, and we understand that not every reader will appreciate the letters that are published. Thank you for participating in the great democratic tradition of opinion sharing and community discussion, and providing food for thought on the candidates and issues.

TRIBUTE Paid Notice

John Leon Anderson Jr., age 66, died peacefully on May 9th, 2014.Born on January 18th, 1948 in Salt Lake City, Utah to J. Leon and Helen Anderson, John was a passionate man who lived life to its fullest. At age 11, he built his first sailboat and continued to amaze everyone who knew him with his self taught talent of designing and building boats. In 1969 after returning from New Zealand where he served a 2 year mission for the LDS church, he married the love of his life, Patricia Elkins. His passion for sailing and boat building brought them to the beautiful Pacific Northwest where he became an accomplished yacht designer and where he and Patricia lived and raised their family for the last 42 years.John could achieve anything he put his great mind to. Nothing could hold him back and he fulfilled most every one of his lifes dreams. He wanted to fly so he became a pilot and went on to build a number of his own planes. He wanted to sail the world so he became an expert sailor and built a number of sailboats including his other soul mate the Windspirit. Later in life, John developed a passion for scuba diving and would often travel to experience the wonders of the ocean.Whether it was sailing, flying or scuba diving, he loved the feeling of the wind beneath his wings. He also had many other passions that he enjoyed some of which were astronomy, motorcycling, traveling, storytelling and music. His deep yearning for adventure and experiencing all the world has to offer and his example of striving to fulfill any and every dream has been shared with and passed onto his children and grandchildren.He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Patricia and his children, John J.(Joanna), Kes(Sara), Aimee(Kelly), Sunny(Brett), daughter-in-law Gina(Derek) and 12 grandchildren. He was preceded in death in 1996 by his eldest son, Christopher Paul.A memorial service was held on May 20th, 2014 at 3:00 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, 2138 NE Mesford St, Poulsbo.

W ith its oceans and glaciers, the Earth seems to be made of mostly water. Water covers about 70 per-cent of the surface, but only 1 percent of that is available for our use.

We share this 1 percent with every other human in the world. This amount remains constant, but our exponentially growing population continues to increase demand.

Whether one agrees with the validity of climate change or not, many believe its a more crucial threat to our water supply than even a rapidly growing popula-tion.

How does climate change affect our seemingly never-ending water supply here in the Pacific Northwest? Heres a very general look at the situation.

n Water supply. Most of Washingtons water supply is stored in snow pack and glaciers that run off into riv-

ers. But here in Kitsap, 80 percent of our water supply comes from groundwater from wells. Simply put, our groundwater comes from rain-fed aquifers.

n Higher tempera-tures. The average annual temperature over this past century in Washington rose by 1.5 degrees. Doesnt seem like much, but even slightly warmer tempera-tures change weather pat-terns. For Washington, it

means warmer winters with more rain and less snow and hotter summers with less rain. The impact to non-replenishing glaciers means among many things dwindling water supplies during summer.

n Coastal erosion. Increased winter rains also increase storms and their frequency, and the risk of floods and landslides on rain-soaked coastal bluffs. This not only threatens pri-vate properties, but threat-ens our essential infra-structure around the Puget Sound and Hood Canal.

n Water pollution. Warmer winter weather brings heavier rains which carry pollutants left on the ground like car oils, ani-mal waste, fertilizers and pesticides with it. Wetlands and the benefits they pro-vide (like absorbing storm water and carbon dioxide, recharging aquifers) are also at risk should they be lost to sea level rise.

n Sea level rise. As temperatures rise, so do ocean temperatures par-ticularly so for Puget Sound and Hood Canal. Kitsap Countys more than 200 miles of coastline exposes it to risk by warming ocean waters and melting glaciers and ice caps.

n Antarctica. Now we are told that the melting ice sheet of West Antarctica appears to be irreversible and is likely to continue to the rest of that continent. The resulting sea level rise will be considerable and no one can foresee a truly accurate measure or timeline for this. The warming ocean appears to be the culprit, causing westerly winds to change around Antarctica. The ever-strengthening wester-lies are forcing subsurface warm waters poleward to melt the glaciers, and push surface waters northward, according to Eric Rignot, a glaciologist and lead author

of the recent study on West Antarctica. Significant rise in sea level is inevitable.

n Wells. Rising sea levels mean the increasing pos-sibility of our water wells being contaminated with saltwater. Kitsaps ground water aquifers are directly connected to rainfall, but aquifers for coastal com-munities near or below sea level could be in serious trouble.

n Food. The states agri-culture will continue to be adversely affected by decreasing water for irriga-tion. Think of Washington without its apples or Walla Walla onions.

n Salmon. Rising water temperatures bring a mul-titude of survival problems to the Northwest salmon. River flows affect salmon migration and spawning by increased winter flood-ing and decreased summer flows. A warming Puget Sound and Hood Canal will decrease food for all fish,

making them less able to deal with other changes due to changing temperatures.

Gov. Jay Inslee has pledged to work toward the states adherence to green-house gas emission goals on gradual steps and more use of clean energy over the next few decades. Partisan tension prevents common grounds for progress.

President Obamas administration has launched the National Climate Assessment, observing the nations current rising tem-peratures, but with too few solutions. Political gridlock thrives there as well.

Its a shame for the Earth that were living in a time where every aspect of our lives is taken over by politicians. Yet, arguments abound from accepting the reality of climate change to sharing responsibility in its creation, and to agreeing on what can be done about it.

Is there something you do about it?

He believes there should be more investment in our roads. Take Highway 3 for example, which backs up every time the bridge is open, he said.

Roads as a whole are we being effective, Henden asked.

This is Hendens fifth campaign for public office. He ran unsuccessfully for county commissioner twice and once for fire commis-sioner before being elected to the school board.

School board members are elected to four-year terms and are not paid. They are elected through districtwide elections.

Members of the state House of Representatives are elected to two-year terms, are paid $42,106 a year and receive the same benefits as state employees.

Appleton is a long-time Poulsbo resident. She served on the Poulsbo City Council for eight years and worked as a lobbyist/advo-cate for 11 years. She won a fifth term in the state House in 2012 with 25,383 votes to Tony Stephens 16,630.

During her latest term, Appleton said the legisla-tive work shes helped pass includes the DREAM Act and adding $1 billion to public school funding. The

governor also signed a bill that allows veterans com-ing from out-of-state to pay in-state college tuition with-out waiting a year to be a resident a bill Appleton

is particularly proud of. The Legislature also balanced the budget without making severe cuts, Appleton said.

There is more work to do. Theres lots of things that

come up Constituents want or have a good idea that you want to put into legislation, she said.

audience might not be open to his words of caution.

Its a dangerous group to speak to like that, Stern said, pointing out that the crowd leaned heavily toward the business side.

You dont have a broad community here (at that meeting), you have people speaking from the same hymnal and that is danger-ous for economic develop-ment, Stern said, noting that Kingston has a vari-ety of interest groups and that economic development should consider everyone.

If we have a large retire-ment community in the area, how are you address-ing [and] protecting their interests? Which could very well be maintaining the sta-tus quo keep it small, dont change it.

The luncheon was the second in a three-part series of luncheons organized by the Greater Kingston Economic Development Committee. One more luncheon is planned: May

20, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The meal costs $17. The event is open to the pub-lic. Guest speakers: John Powers, executive direc-tor of the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance; Mary Jo Juarez, a business counselor with the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance; and Larry Keeton, director of community development for Kitsap County.

Our plan is to get people with a tremendous amount of experience, bring them into Kingston so we as locals can gain from their knowledge and interact with them, Kirschner said.

The luncheons are part of a larger goal of getting the conversation started about economic development in Kingston. Part of that dis-cussion is the idea of a new hotel. The committee is cur-rently raising money for a market study to look into the possibility.

The study comes on the heels of a survey that produced more than 170 responses gauging commu-nity perceptions and wants for Kingston.

By KEVAN MOORECeNtral Kitsap reporter

BREMERTON A former Island County com-missioner who sued that county on two occasions and abruptly resigned from her post in early May is now a candidate for Kitsap County auditor.

Republican Kelly Emerson, who now lives in the Illahee area, is one of two candidates to suc-ceed Walt Washington, a Democrat who is not seek-ing re-election. The other candidate is Port Orchard Democrat Dolores Gilmore.

Emerson resigned from the Island County Board of Commissioners May 5, seven months shy of com-pleting her first term.

I will delightfully relin-quish the title at the end of the week and head off to greener pastures, Emerson said at her last board meeting, accord-ing to the Whidbey News-Times.

Thank you so much for the opportunity, it has really truly been an honor. Im really sorry for those of you that hoped that we would further our cause and be

more effective in right-sizing Island County, but theres always tomorrow.

After announcing her resignation, Emerson excused herself before the other commissioners had a chance to speak.

Shortly after Emerson was named chairwoman of the commission last year, she was stripped of her leadership role after her fellow commissioners ques-tioned her work ethic, abil-ity to lead and willingness to seek consensus. Emerson had a reputation for being absent or non-participatory

at public meetings, abstain-ing from votes and simply remaining silent at times.

Emerson sued Island County twice over an unis-sued building permit to place a deck on her Camano Island home. The first law-suit was settled, but a sec-ond lawsuit claims that the county violated the terms of that deal.

Emerson said charac-terizations of her by her former Island County col-leagues are inaccurate and unfair.

I really dont want to talk about Island County, she

told the Bremerton Patriot. I want to focus on Kitsap County.

Emerson said she moved to Kitsap County because her husband of 16 years, Ken, was relocated from his work at the Nova Group. She said he has been work-ing here throughout the week for the past three years.

Emerson said her time in Island County has pre-pared her well to seek office in Kitsap County. Emerson said she was actively engaged with Naval Air Station Whidbey Island

and related issues as Island County commissioner. She said she is a member of the Bremerton-Olympic Peninsula Navy League as well as a number of other community groups.

Emerson said her experi-ence as a county commis-sioner taught her about the full breadth of responsibili-ties and opportunities of an auditors office.

Emerson says she also served on canvassing boards and considers an auditors role in elections to be vitally important.

The eviction notice fol-lows months of discus-sion between the port and the business. It began when the port moved a

220-square-foot float that was being used by Kingston Adventures, which has an upland location on West Kingston Road.

The float is owned by the City of Poulsbo Parks and Recreation Department; the department uses it

for its sailing program in Kingston.

The float was moved in 2012 near the small water-craft facility, which the port rents out to anyone who wants to store watercraft such as kayaks.

According to Brewster

and her lawyer, Dennis McGlothin, the float was then rented to Kingston Adventures for two years and business grew as a result of the floats availabil-ity. The port claims the float was never rented to her.

According to the port, the float was moved near the kayak storage facility so it could be refurbished. The work was done by the port, not the city, because the work required an overwater maintenance permit, according to Port Commissioner Walt Elliott.

Poulsbo Parks and Recreation plans to resume its sailing program this year, according to Parks Director Mary McCluskey.

Poulsbos Parks and Rec recently agreed to let Brewster operate from the

relocated float, according to the port. That offer was not accepted it would require Kingston Adventures to work around the sailing programs schedule.

An offer to rent a moor-age site adjacent to the kayak facility was made to Kingston Adventures, at a cost of about $150 per month during the business main operating season, according to the port. That was rejected, too, according to the letter from Malone.

According to Malones letter, Kingston Adventures is operating from the kayak storage facility, which is a violation of the stor-age agreement. In section 6 of the lease agreement obtained by the Kingston Community News, and signed by Brewster and her

husband Rob, the lessee shall not assign or trans-fer this Agreement or any interests therein, or use it for any commercial pur-pose, without the prior writ-ten permission of the Port.

The business is also oper-ating without a commercial use agreement, according to the port.

The most recent use agreement between the business and the port was signed Jan. 26, 2011. The agreement was valid for 12 months and OKd by the commissioners at the time.

The new commercial use agreement Brewster was given is filled with restric-tions, she said. The old one was six pages; the new one is 13 pages, she said. Brewster was given the new lease on April 22 and told she could take as long as she needed to review it, she said. She paid rent through May, she said.

Brewster said she is allowed to store her equip-ment in the small watercraft facility through June, but if she operates her business from it, she will be fined, she said.

I am the victim here, she said. Theyre pushing out the last female-run busi-ness on port property.

Elliott disagrees. He said Kingston Adventures can-not operate from the small watercraft storage facility, and cannot operate at the marina without a use agree-ment.

If a building inspector says youve got a problem, you cant say, Well, Ive been doing it for years, he said.

October 2012, according to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. The majority of those students are Port Gamble SKlallam, McCurdy said.

Because students from the Tribe are already famil-iar with SKlallam customs, including songs and danc-es, the drum project isnt so much about education as it is a source of pride.

They puff up and get into it, McCurdy said.

For those students who may not know much about their neighbors, it gives them a hands-on learning opportunity. It allows the students to acknowledge the Tribe, McCurdy said.

The drum kits were pur-chased with money from a Tribe X grant from the Port Gamble SKlallam Tribe.

McCurdy purchased the kits at Harts Lake Trading Post in Roy.

Though the hides which become the drum skin were already pre-punched with holes, McCurdy and the class did the rest.

The hides were first soaked in water in a venti-lated area of the school.

Wolfle students have done the project once before, and McCurdy learned his lesson on where to properly soak hides. A master bathroom is not the correct place, he said.

After soaking, the hides are stretched over the drum frame and attached by stringing together the base of the drum. Completed drums are then left to dry.

McCurdy invited SKlallam member Jeffrey Veregge in to help the class decorate their drums once the drums dried. Veregge,

a graduate of Wolfle, helped the students brainstorm their own designs and brought a few templates. Veregges art combines Salish form-line design, with comic book art.

The students used acryl-ic paint to complete their drums.

But the drum project

went beyond just creating the traditional instruments. The students were also taught to play and sing tra-ditional songs.

On the morning of May 20, students gathered their drums, formed a circle, and played the Welcome Song with Joe Price.

Learning traditional

songs is different from typical sheet music. For one, there really isnt sheet music; rather, traditional music is taught orally and by example. McCurdy did have sheet music for the Welcome Song, however, there are no musical notes, just the vocalization.

Its a different form of learning, McCurdy said. Its a lot more verbal. Just a whole different approach to learning.

Price also gave a few lessons during the song practice. For example, he told the students there is no clapping after a perfor-mance; instead, drummers and singers raise their hands in thanks. The people listening to the songs could be anywhere else, Price said, but they chose to be there instead. Raising their hands after a song is thank-ing them for taking their time to be there with you,

he said. For those familiar with

McCurdy, a drum is never far from reach. Along with their custom drums, McCurdys music class practices on African drums as well. McCurdy is also the drummer for the local Blues Counselors band.

McCurdy recognizes the community-at-large did not always have the relation-ship it does now with the Tribe. The drum project was one way to continue to build that relationship.

This is just a small part I can do to continue to improve the relationship, he said. And drumming is the best way I can do that.

Students will perform what they have learned on their drums June 5 at 6 p.m. at Wolfle. There are also plans to perform June 12 for the last day of school during the recognition assembly.

Temperatures in cars rise rapidly in only a few minutes & your dog could die if left too long. Linda Lombardi of the Associated Press states When its 72 degrees, a car in direct sun can reach an internal temperature of 116. Even in the shade, a car can be 10 to 20 degrees hotter than outdoors, and cracking the window has almost no effect.

If you see a dog in a car on a hot day and you have no success quickly nding the owner call 911. Every minute counts. Claudia Owen

BREMERTON Harrison Medical Centers acute hospital care services will likely be consolidated at the Silverdale campus in the next three to four years, Harrison President and CEO Scott Bosch announced May 23.

Bosch said Harrisons board of directors is still evaluating what outpatient services will continue to be offered in Bremerton.

The board is not will-ing to abandon Bremerton, Bosch said. We are not going to leave Bremerton. We are going to be here in a significant way.

What that presence will look like is not yet clear, but it could include some urgent care services, well-ness programs and medical specialists.

Bremerton Mayor Patty

Lent, who spoke privately with Bosch ahead of the announcement, said she was shocked by the pro-posed move and hospital closure.

Its hard for me to sepa-rate Harrison from the city and thats what I feel is the proposal that they are mak-ing, Lent said.

Lent said her first calls after her visit with Bosch went to Sen. Patty Murray and U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer to begin a conversation about housing a veterans hospital at the facility.

That was my first reac-tion because I just couldnt see that hospital vacated, she said. I just couldnt see that.

Lent noted that the hos-pital is exempt from prop-erty taxes and business and occupation taxes. She says the hospital only brought in about $80,000 in sales tax to the city last year. Those rev-enues have spiked when-ever the hospital underwent any sort of construction, but Lents real concern is with businesses surround-ing the hospital.

Im looking at citizens, surrounding businesses, doctors and clinics that

have built or remodeled and are there because of the hospital, she said. It has a bigger ripple effect than I think a regular citizen might think about. Im a big-picture person and Im look-ing at the future and Im looking at that ripple effect.

Lent said she hopes to see the population of Bremerton reach 50,000 in the next five years and feels that a hospital is critical to that growth.

Im going to work dou-ble-time to make sure the city does whatever it can do and treat this as an oppor-tunity to better the city by repurposing the facility and still maintaining the integ-rity of what a citizen expects as we grow to that bigger population, she said.

While a final decision has not been made, Bosch said the move to have just one hospital makes sense financially and strategi-cally. Harrison is prepar-ing to invest $220 million to $240 million to expand the Silverdale campus in the next 36 to 48 months.

We operate two hospi-tals seven miles apart, he said. Can you imagine how much duplication there is

between those two hospi-tals? We have two kitch-ens. We have two X-ray departments. We have two laboratories. We have two emergency departments. Two registration areas. Two operating suites. And it becomes incredibly duplica-tive for us to operate those things.

Bosch said more people are showing up in Silverdale with trauma and then have to be transported to Bremertons trauma cen-ter after being stabilized. Pregnant women show up in Bremerton a lot, but the birthing center is in Silverdale.

The public is confused about what to
