POULSBO — It’s been near-ly 80 years since Ronald Young first built his unique style of boat, but among enthusiasts and folks proud of their hometown, Poulsbo

boats have become the ubiquitous fishing boat of Puget Sound.

“I grew up on these boats,” said Joe Schwan, of Bridgehaven on the Olympic Peninsula. Schwan grew up in Eglon in the 1950s and 60s, when Puget Sound still had fish, he said.

“We almost always caught a fish,” he remembered. Poulsbo boats were the vessel everyone wanted — and Schwan said you could usually tell who had a Poulsbo.

“A blister and a burn,” he laughed. The early motors never started easily, and Schwan said absentminded fishermen would often rest their hands on the hot

exhaust pipe. Schwan recently got his hands

on a Poulsbo boat, originally built in 1946, from fellow boat-er Richard Meyers of Lofall. “It’s a piece of history, it represents an era in the Pacific Northwest,” Schwan said.

POULSBO — State Sen. Christine Rolfes, D-23rd District, knows funding for education in Washington is inadequate.

The state Constitution states that “It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children,” but education funding falls short $7 billion to $10 billion per bien-nium budget to fully fund the new education reform laws passed in 2009.

“We are billions short,” Rolfes

said, adding that “adequate fund-ing” could be years away.

“I think we are looking at the new normal,” she said.

Rolfes and Reps. Sherry Appleton and Drew Hansen visited the North Kitsap School District Tuesday night. After a state fund-ing presentation, the legislators took questions from a concerned

audience. Education received the highest

funding for support and opera-tion in the state in the 2009-11 budget, $13.2 billion according to state documents. Human services received $10.8 billion. Those two state-funded resources made up 78.7 percent of the state’s near-general fund, a statewide total of

$30.5 billion. Though education receives the

biggest piece of the near-general fund pie, locally a $2.7 million rev-enue plunge in the North Kitsap School District forced the school board to adopt a $64 million bud-get for the 2011-12 school year,

Meyers said he grew up using Poulsbo boats, and has spent some of his retire-ment restoring the boats he fishes on. About five years ago, he acquired a green, worn-out Poulsbo boat that sat dry for 20 years. Luckily, the planking was in good shape. Meyers said he scrapped down the green paint, known as a Port Orchard color, and replaced the small bits of rotting wood with fresh cedar. He repainted the boat blue, and even fished with it for a while.

However, he said he wanted it to be used when he stopped fishing with it. He offered it to the Poulsbo Historical Society to be dis-played at City Hall, but no bites. The Marine Science Center liked it, but didn’t have the money to make sure it was maintained. Finally, by a chance meet-ing between Schwan and Meyer’s wife, he got his wish — Schwan wanted to use the boat to teach his grand-children about fishing and

boating.“I restored it, and loaned

it out so kids could learn how to row,” Meyers said. “Growing up ... Everybody had one.”

And if they didn’t, they could easily rent one. Meyers and Schwan both remember the numerous fishing resorts around Puget Sound, and all had Poulsbo boats ready to rent.

Poulsbo boats are a unique design, well-suited to fishing pursuits in the Puget Sound, according to Schwan, Meyers and just about every published refer-ence to the boat.

“Their characteristic swooping sheer lines and generous tumblehome were once well known from Olympia to the San Juan Islands,” according to the Rotary Club of Lake Union.

“It’s definitely a clas-sic design,” Schwan said. “It cuts through the water absolutely phenomenally.” Its “signature shape” of lift-ing up at the back makes for a great ride, according to Schwan’s wife, Jackie.

Poulsbo boat designer Young was born in 1892 to Swedish immigrant par-

ents near Bartow (now Suquamish). He became interested in boatbuild-ing through newly emerg-ing mechanic technology, such as gasoline engines. A schoolmate of Young’s said he first built a speedboat in 1910 or 1912, accord-ing to documents from the Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle.

After returning from ser-vice during World War I, Young worked as a mechan-ic at an auto repair garage in Poulsbo, which now houses Second Season clothing store downtown. He began

building 16- and 18-foot fishing boats in the base-ment of the garage around 1930. He became a full-time boatbuilder in 1939, usually producing two boats at a time in about two weeks.

At that time, the shop was right on the water, and the basement would occasion-ally flood with the incoming tide. Young’s son, Gordon (who goes by Pat), remem-bers that on a high tide there would be 6 to 10 inches of water covering the floor.

“Boats and materials would be floating all over

the place,” he said in a Kitsap County Herald arti-cle in 1982.

About 900 were produced between 1933 and 1965, each built by Ron and often Pat, according to the Center for Wooden Boats. Pat said he first began helping his father when he was 12 or 13, cleaning and cutting the 80 ribs needed per boat.

“It was just a matter of cut-ting wood,” he said recently of his after-school job.

The book “Spirit of Poulsbo” says Young was a “prolific producer” of boats, experimenting with the “perfect” design that was easy to maneuver, “stable on serendipitous waters of Puget Sound,” and enjoy-able to own.

More than 60 years after it was built, Schwan says his Poulsbo boat is still a joy to have. He takes his grand-children on treasure hunts to Sand Island, which they know as Treasure Island.

“[The boat is] just some-thing the kids could reflect on, an experience the kids could have that steps back in time,” he said.

George Corley of Seattle

shows off his Poulsbo boat every year at the Seattle Yacht Club’s opening day event, typically the first Saturday in May. He is usually one of only a few Poulsbo boats going in the Antique and Classic category.

“Everybody wants to see it, it’s as cute as can be,” he said. It is a “shapely launch,” painted white with black trim, and mahogany seats and deck. He also under-stood Young to be a practi-cal boatbuilder — he sold the boats unpainted and without engines, so folks could afford and personal-ize their boats.

“If somebody wanted a boat, he could buy a boat unfinished from Young and put the thing together,” Corley said.

Young stopped building boats in 1965 and died in 1968. His boats are a rar-ity now; an estimated 50 remain.

Pat Young worked as a teacher and administra-tor for a school district in Vancouver, Wash. after World War II service and earning a college degree. He wanted to see if he could still build the kind of boat he and his father spent years on, so on the day he retired in 1984 he laid the keel. “A year and a half later, I fin-ished the boat.”

Pat’s last boat was built the same way his father taught him — no plans. Pat took measurements off a Poulsbo boat in Hansville and it “worked out just fine.” The boat is now on display at the Foss Waterway Seaport museum in Tacoma.

the word out about my plat-form, which is Disability Awareness,” she said.

As Miss West Sound, Price receives more than $19,000 in scholarships and awards and the opportuni-ty to compete for the Miss Washington title in 2012.

Price is a senior and Honor Society president at North Kitsap High School. Her goals include graduat-ing from the University of Washington with a degree in biochemistry and pursu-ing a career as an obstetri-cian/gynecologist.

Wall was Miss Kingston in 2007-08; her sister, Jordan, is the current Miss Kingston.

Wall, 20, is a 2009 gradu-ate of Kingston High School, where she was an honor stu-dent active in raising money for breast cancer research.

She was co-captain of the Puget Sound Elite Girls Basketball Team in 2007 and played in the AAU Basketball Nationals in Orlando, Fla. in 2006.

She is a student at Olympic College and a pageant stylist at The Wedding Bell Trés Chic. Her career ambition is to earn a bachelor’s degree in fashion design and suc-cessfully launch a fashion line.

Wall’s platform is “Kid University — Raising Leaders for Generations to Come.”

“My family inspires me to aim high and keep learn-ing,” she said in her pag-

eant biography. “With this unconditional support, I have chosen to delve into the fashion industry, cur-rently with styling and in the future with designing my own line, called Taylor Nicole Couture. I hope to inspire children to put forth their best effort and shoot for the stars, because noth-ing is impossible — the word itself says “I’m pos-sible.”

With an outpour-ing of support from the Kitsap County commu-nity, the Miss West Sound Scholarship Program was able to award more than

$50,000 in scholarships and prizes.

At the first pageant, $6,300 in scholarships and awards was presented. That amount grew to $8,175 in the second pageant and $51,300 this year.

Established in August 2009, the Miss West Sound Scholarship Program pro-vides opportunities for young women to achieve their personal and pro-fessional ambitions. Contestants also partici-pate in community service events and develop leader-ship skills that help them excel in their chosen career

and life goals. Miss West Sound and

Ambassadors were sched-uled to volunteer at the Bremerton Food Bank Nov.

19-20. Price has also been invited to attend a North Kitsap School Board meet-ing on Dec. 1.

$2 million less than the 2009-10 budget.

The cuts were the result of reduced state funding and an unforeseen drop in stu-dent enrollment during the 2010-11 year. Another drop in enrollment is expected for the 2012-13 year.

The state cut $1.8 billion from K-12 education fund-ing during the last budget adoption.

Funding cuts from the state may not be over. Legislative leaders and Gov. Chris Gregoire are scheduled to meet Nov. 28 in a special session to cut another $2 billion from the state’s budget. The $2 billion expected to be cut is due to more than a $1 billion gap in state revenues and expenses.

However, education fund-ing can only be cut so much; $12.8 billion is constitution-ally protected, according to Rolfes’ presentation.

Combined with a shrink-ing student population — the district receives $6,422 in state funding per student — becoming “adequately funded” may be years off, Rolfes said.

The North Kitsap School District receives the sec-ond-lowest amount of rev-enue from the state. Sequim receives the least, $6,170.

“The funding problem we saw at the beginning of the school year — too many kids per class, splitting classrooms — that funding problem isn’t going to go away for a couple of years,” Rolfes said.

As the new normal, Rolfes said school districts and the state need to learn how to work around less funding.

The 2009-11 state’s near-general fund — a combina-tion of the education legacy trust account and state gen-eral fund — also includes: higher education, $3 billion; other education, debt ser-vice, pensions, transporta-

tion and specie appropria-tions, $2.2 billion; general government, $8 million; and natural resources, $4 million.

Along with the near-gen-eral fund, school districts received total of about $6.5

million from the state in revenue for basic education — general apportionment, special education, transpor-tation, LAP, bilingual edu-cation, education in juvenile detention. Other revenues include local taxes, $1.7

million; federal, $1.3 mil-lion; and other sources.

Revenue school districts receive from various sources is spent on everything from teachers to food services and transportation.

Included on the repre-sentatives’ list of ideas to increase revenue to school districts were allowing local levy increases, closing tax exemptions, reforming gov-ernment and cutting spend-ing.

Of the questions asked during the meeting, the possibility of shortening the school year is an option, Rolfes said.

On the list of “bad menu items,” Hansen said short-ening the school year was the least troublesome.

“There’s no magical money fairy that will solve these problems,” he said.

Appreciates opportunity to serve community

To all those who worked for my campaign, wrote letters, put up signs and voted for me: Thank you. I am humbled and grateful for your confidence.

I would like to take this oppor-tunity to thank Val Torrens for her efforts on behalf of students and wish her the best in her future endeavors. I would also like to thank the North Kitsap school staff for their professionalism and help with answering questions.

I have tried to speak clearly in the campaign about my perspective and goals. However, my work is just starting as I join in with the other directors, staff and the community to prepare our students to be the best they can be — whether that is future education, military or the workforce.

We live in a great country. Thank you for this opportunity to serve.

Sunlight is indeed the best disinfectant

Congratulations to Sound Publishing and the North Kitsap Herald for attempting to deal with all-too-frequent nasty anonymous blog comments infecting the con-versation on your website.

Anonymous blogger, if you are big enough to make the comment, be man or woman enough to attach your real name to the comment. The community then can give you the applause or laughter the com-ment deserves.

This problem of nasty anony-mous blog comments has been going on with blog comments for several years, at least as long as current editor Richard Walker has

been at the paper’s helm. With a 2012 presidential election and a wide array of local elections and initiatives on the horizon, the cur-rent nasty anonymous blog com-ments would have been even more over the top than they at times are.

Again, congrats to Sound Publishing for taking this action. It was long overdue, but better late than never. Sunlight is indeed the best disinfectant.

Homes are conforming on the shoreline

Kitsap Alliance of Property Owners would like to thank all parties involved in rejecting the idea that legally built homes should become legal but non-conforming due to changes in the county’s Shoreline Master Program, which are currently in the works.

During a meeting of the County Commission on Oct. 24, David Greetham and Patty Charnas of the Department of Community Development recommended a solu-tion. They asked the commission-ers to support staff moving forward on language that proposes to make

existing residential and appurte-nant structures “conforming,” con-sistent with Substitute Senate Bill 5451, adopted by the Legislature last April and signed into law by Gov. Gregoire.

Over the past several weeks, shoreline property owners have delivered petitions requesting this change to the County Commission with more than 700 signatures. Doug Lyons and Carl Shipley spearheaded the petition drive with the help of Kitsap Alliance mem-bers. We are grateful to everyone who asked their neighbors to read and sign the petitions, and we are especially grateful to those who presented the signed petitions to the commissioners so the voices of property owners could be heard.

We thank the county commis-sioners for hearing our voices and approving staff ’s recommendation that the Shoreline Master Program declare existing, lawfully built homes to be “conforming.”

Support BellringerThe Poulsbo Lions Bellringer Fund is raising money to

meet local needs. It’s a fine tradition and we encourage readers to pitch in. Every dollar makes a difference in the

life of a neighbor.Local churches and organizations like North Kitsap Fishline

and ShareNet provide a safety net in the community, providing food, emergency shelter and emergency financial assistance to neighbors in need.

One of the major threads in that safety net is the Bellringer Fund, founded in the 1940s by Frank and Mabel Raab as a vehicle for neighbors to help each other during emergencies. Chances are good you know someone who has been helped at some time by the fund.

The Poulsbo Noon Lions Club administers the Bellringer Fund for the Raab Foundation. Fishline and others periodically turn to the Bellringer Fund for help providing assistance to a family facing eviction, emergency assistance paying a utility bill, and keeping a home supplied with heating fuel. Last year, Bellringer supplied 100 Christmas food baskets to local fami-lies.

All told, Bellringer and its donors — you — assisted more than 300 families in 2011.

Donations can be dropped off at the Herald, 19351 8th Ave. NE, Suite 205, Poulsbo, WA 98370; and at Union Bank, 19950 7th Ave. NE, Poulsbo. Checks made out to the Bellringer Fund can be mailed to the Herald, P.O. Box 278, Poulsbo, WA. 98370. As donations are received, they will be listed in the Herald through December. Donations may be made anonymously.

The North Kitsap Herald is also collecting toys for Fishline Food Bank. New, unwrapped toys can be dropped off at the Herald office between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Expand port boundariesThis is the fourth in a series of editorials exploring ideas from

the campaign trail.

Voters created the Port of Poulsbo in 1951 to operate marine- and recreation-related facilities and help bring economic development — investment and jobs — to

the community.But as the city boundaries have

grown, the port district boundaries have not. As a result, only half of the city’s commercial and residen-tial property owners pay a property tax to support a port district that benefits the entire city.

The Poulsbo Port District’s boundaries should be enlarged to match the city’s boundaries.

The benefits: All voters in Poulsbo would be able to vote for port commissioners; currently, only port district residents can do that. All residents of Poulsbo would have a voice in port matters. The enlarged port district would gener-ate significant tax revenue that can be used to replace the breakwater and its creosoted pilings; improve the seaplane dock and the marina, so it can accom-modate larger tour vessels; and prevent further erosion at the foot of Anderson Parkway.

Larger port district boundaries would also empower the commission to look beyond the waterfront for economic development. Under state law, the port district could play a major role in economic revitalization in Poulsbo through the acquisition of property for commercial, ecotourism and recre-ational uses.

The commission should put annexation on the 2012 ballot.

FOR THE RECORD■ Scratch those 9 ounces of pil-

oncillo (raw sugar cones) from the Broccoli Casserole recipe included on page 12 of the Holiday Guide, in today’s Herald. That ingredient was mistakenly added to the recipe, and was intended for another recipe.

The Herald apologizes for the error.

■ The Veterans Day event at Sons of Norway was not open to the public. It was open to mem-bers and their guests. That fact was not clear to some readers of the story “Veterans Day event at Sons of Norway,” page A13, Nov. 11 Herald.

IDEAS WORTH PURSUING

The election is over, the ballots counted, and Proposition 1

(Veterans and Homeless levy) was rejected.

The “lessons learned” are:

■ Don’t propose a tax for an effort that does not clear-ly belong to government.

■ Make sure to define the specific need and the man-ner in which the tax dollars will be spent before ask-ing for money. No surprise there.

Having rejected govern-ment-operated service for the indigent, the people of Kitsap still must face the reality of problems associ-ated with homelessness and those living in temporary

shelters. The problem is real. It cannot solve itself. It is up to we who are able to support those in need. Life happens and things don’t always work out the way they are supposed to. Now it’s our time to stand up and make the difference.

About 73,000 people voted on the levy. Of that number, about 29,000 voted for the levy and 44,000 voted against. Let’s put some real teeth behind those votes and make appropriate char-

itable donations to get the job done.

Since the levy was for six years and “in addition to” existing charitable dona-tion intentions, we should use the same criteria. Donations should go direct-ly to Salvation Army Sally’s Camp, Coffee Oasis Teen Shelter, or to the United Way and should be desig-nated for “homeless and indigent support.”

Since those who voted in favor of Prop. 1 were will-ing to pay their “share” and obligate their neighbors to do the same, they get to put up $25 a year (total of about $725,000). The “against” voters get to pony up the $12.50 they avoided in tax

(another $550,000).Combined, the dona-

tions will approach $1.275 million, all of which goes directly to fix the problem while none goes to govern-ment. Pledges and dona-tions are on the “honor sys-tem.” I expect we will all do our part.

Our direct donations will cover the immediate need for homeless and indi-gent persons. The County Commission needs to step up for veterans.

The law establishing the Veterans Assistance Fund provides that the fund shall address the needs of local indigent veterans and their families. The responsi-bility to properly allocate

tax revenues to the fund is a question of priorities. Perhaps the commissioners could reconsider the rela-tive importance of “androg-ynous” fish, high-density housing, and extensive shoreline and wetland buf-fers, as opposed to taking care of those who served. Strong vocal input from vot-ers might help them make the correct decision. We can express our opinion in writ-ing and at the ballot box.

This community support

effort can make us all win-ners if we are willing to take on the challenge and dem-onstrate that, as citizens, we can do the job ourselves and we don’t need government in the way. The question is, are you as willing to help solve a problem and send in that check as you were to send in your ballot?

Now is the time to answer “Yes.”

Here are some memo-rable comments made by candidates during the 2011 campaign.

Chris Tibbs, candidate for Kitsap County Com-mission, District 1: On Sept. 28 at a candidates forum presented by the Port Orchard Chamber of Commerce, Tibbs said the current commissioners “have no signifi cant busi-ness experience … If any of the three county com-missioners tried to run a business like they run the county, they would

bankrupt it.” Tibbs owned an espres-

Springsteel was answer-

Scott Henden, candi-date for North Kitsap School Board, District 4: On July 27 at a candidates forum presented by the League of Women Voters, Henden said, “I think one of the key things as a board member, I believe in the history and great-ness in America and I think at times we slander it through our teaching and I think we get on the

edge. And what I call it is kind of a liberalism, and I don’t know what you want to call it, and I don’t know what you want to put that as ... but there is a diff er-ence in philosophy about answers are true or not; it’s not about confi dence or self-esteem; maybe I am a little old school here.”

One of Henden’s con-cerns is how the school board communicates with the public.

OLYMPIA — A single win at the 2A State Volleyball Championships Nov. 11 was enough for the Vikings to continue breaking school records.

The team’s 3-2 win in the first round of the tourna-ment against East Valley was the first State win for the program.

Celebration for the team would not last long, how-ever, as two losses in a row sent the Vikings home for the second year without a State title.

“Our goal was to win here, and we accomplished that — to some degree,” Vikings coach Tim French said after the team’s first loss at the tournament.

Before the State tourna-ment, the team was 17-1. The Vikings earned the Olympic League title after defeating Port Angeles. It is the fourth title in a row the Viking program has earned. The team was undefeated (17-0) until the District tournament, when White River won 3-2.

It would not be the last time White River spoiled the Vikings rhythm. The team went on to State as well, knocking the Vikings

COVINGTON — The debate season is under way and today and Saturday 39 students from the North Kitsap School District will compete in the first major competition of the season.

North Kitsap High School is sending 17 stu-dents to the competition, at Tahoma High School,

18200 Southeast 240 St., Covington. Kingston High School is sending 22 stu-dents.

Of the North Kitsap stu-dents attending, nine are either freshman or new to debate. North Kitsap debate is coached by Randy Powell.

FEDERAL WAY — Bethany Aban was less than one second from tak-ing home a third-place medal Nov. 12 from the 2A State Swim & Dive Championships.

The North Kitsap High School senior, who com-peted in two swims, fin-ished the 100-yard butterfly in 1 minute 1.46 seconds. Sumner’s Madison Munger finished in 1:00.90. Aban’s qualifying time for the event was 1:01.62.

First-place finisher Julia Sanders from Hockinson finished with a time of

56.29.Before competing in the

100 butterfly, Aban took eighth in the 200-yard indi-vidual medley with a time of 2:18.36. Her preliminary time was 2:18.38.

Aban would have com-peted in two other events — 200 and 400 free relay — but the North Kitsap relay teams did not qualify for the finals.

The 200 free relay team (Aban, Lizzie Donnelly, Nerissa Lemon and Brittany Yu) placed 21st in the pre-

SALEM, Ore. — North Kitsap High School gradu-ate Stephanie Skelly is con-tinuing to make moves on the soccer field.

Earlier in November, Skelly was chosen as the Northwest Conference Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Year. She was selected by head coaches in the conference.

Skelly just complet-ed her final season on

the Willamette University Bearcats soccer team as a midfielder.

The Bearcats con-cluded their 2011 season ranked ninth in the West Region of the NCAA Division III. The team finished 11-8-1 overall and 10-5-1 in the Northwest Conference, taking third.

In addition to being named Offensive Player of the Year, Skelly was chosen for First Team Capitol One NCAA Division III Academic All-District VIII. It is the second year in a row Skelly was selected for

the first team.

During the 2011 season, Skelly scored 16 goals and earned five assists for a total of 37 points this season. She led the NWC in goals and overall scoring.

According to the Willamette University web-site, Skelly contributed to three game-winning goals and a total of 10 game-win-ning goals during her col-lege career.

This season, students will compete in Public Forum, Lincoln-Douglas Debate, Extemporaneous Speaking, Oratory, Expository, Impromptu and Oral Interpretation.

Kingston High School debate is coached by Lasica Crane. KHS debate also has two volunteer coaches, De’ MacKinnon and Brian Coyle.

Kingston’s first competi-tion of the season was Oct. 29 and 30; 15 students com-peted. The team was one of 44 schools. Of those

who competed, freshman Sean Brislin and Jackson Rambough took first place in Novice Duo. Freshman Danielle Fox placed first in novice Interpretive Reading.

Sophomore Jonathan Raymond took second in open editorial commentary.

Crane said the team’s first competition, at Gig Harbor High School, was a good opportunity to prepare the younger students for the rest of the season.

“The students are very excited and enthusiastic about the upcoming tour-naments,” Crane wrote in an email.

The Vikings were com-pletely knocked out from the tournament with a 3-0 loss to the 2010 state cham-pions, Pullman.

During the tournament, North Kitsap’s Sarah Baugh and Nicole Weber led the Viking volleyball team in its second State appearance in program history Nov.11-12.

Of the teams the Vikings played — East Valley, White River and Pullman — White River and Pullman went on to place in the tourna-ment. White River took fourth place after losing to Selah High School (3-1). Pullman, which breezed past the Vikings (3-0) in a consolation bracket, took sixth when the team lost to Anacortes (3-2).

Burlington-Edison took the state title with a 3-1 win over Tumwater. The 2011 2A State Champions defeat-ed Olympic High School 3-0, Pullman 3-0 and White River 3-1 to advance to the semifinals.

Last season, when the 2010 team went to State for the first time in the pro-gram’s history, the team lost

3-0 to Selah and Lynden high schools.

monitoring, and build-ing maintenance, although some of these costs were “absorbed” in other places than the general fund in the budget, according to Mayor Becky Erickson’s recom-mendations.

The council also had to finalize the remaining program requests. BKAT, which broadcasts the coun-cil meetings over public access channels, retained its $19,900 budget to maintain the current level of service. Urban Forestry and the Historic Downtown Poulsbo Association both came to an agreement with the city to cut, but not eliminate, their funds from the budget.

Executive Director Bob Middlebrook of Sound

Works, a no-fee job place-ment center in Poulsbo, also testified in front of the council to keep his agen-cy’s $5,000 fund-ing in the budget. Middlebrook said he appreciates the council’s main con-tribution of pro-viding office space rent-free, at 19131 8th Ave., but the $5,000 goes a long way in office sup-plies, bus passes and utilities. The council decided to allocate $2,500 in the next year.

Councilman Jeff Bauman said the council has three options to deal with its nearly $200,000 budget gap: staff furloughs, more “deep cuts” to departments and programs, or using revenue stabilization funding. Most council members agreed they would rather not use the reserve funds, as much of their estimations are “conservative.”

For example, the budget includes $12,000 in mana-

gerial pay adjustments, but the council will first negoti-ate with human resources before any adjustment is

approved. Erickson said in a previous interview with the Herald the pro-posed increases are based on an inter-nal salary review; she looked at what the city pays its 15 non-union employees com-pared to those in seven comparable cities and found Poulsbo positions

paid lower salaries.“Our staff is our largest

cost but our biggest asset,” she said.

Finance Director Debbie Booher also said the finance department made “conser-vative” estimates of incom-ing sales tax and other rev-enue. She added the coun-cil did not dip into all the reserve funding in 2011, and the same could happen next year.

The council also began discussion of goals, both

for the year and long-term. Significant progress was made on some goals carried over from last year, such as the goal to add recreation facilities that includes a city/regional trail plan. The council believes other goals were accomplished, such as establishing a commu-nity vision for downtown and other town centers. The council added a few new goals, still up for discussion, including establishing a broadband utility, develop-ing a neighborhood street maintenance program, and downtown parking improvements.

The council will continue to discuss goals at its next meeting, Dec. 7. Adoption of the budget is planned for mid-December.Bauman’s last meeting

Wednesday was Bauman’s last meeting as a council member. Because he was appointed to the council, his term ends when another is elected to the position. Gary Nystul, a former Kalispell, Mont. councilman who is Bremerton’s city auditor, will take office as council-man in December.

Bauman was hired as Poulsbo’s public works direc-tor in 2006 and appointed to the City Council in January 2010 to succeed Erickson, who was elected mayor.

The mayor and council said they were sad to see him go, but expressed their gratitude for his service.

“I’m still alive and kick-ing,” Bauman said. “I look forward to staying involved.”

Bauman will continue to volunteer with the Marine Science Center and a hos-pice program.

KINGSTON — One man was killed and anoth-er airlifted to the region-al trauma center after an apparent one-car crash late Nov. 10 on Little Boston Road between Cliffside and Hansville roads, about six miles north-northwest of Kingston.

It was the second fatal crash in Kitsap County in a day and the third fatal crash in the Kingston area since

September. North Kitsap Fire &

Rescue crews were dis-patched just after mid-night Nov. 11 and found Christopher R. Ziegler, 23, of Bremerton deceased in the driver’s seat. Ziegler is believed to have been driv-ing the 2004 BMW M-3 two-door coupe.

An off-duty sheriff ’s deputy on his way home found Ziegler’s passen-

ger, a man, on the side of Little Boston Road and summoned help shortly after midnight, Sheriff ’s Department spokesman Scott Wilson reported. Firefighters arrived on the scene to find the man con-scious but suffering from head injuries and broken bones. An Airlift Northwest helicopter was called to rendezvous with medics at Wolfle Elementary School and transport the man to Harborview Medical Center.

The man, identified by the Sheriff ’s Department as a 23-year-old from Poulsbo, was listed in stable condi-tion Nov. 11.

A severely damaged car

was located deep in the vegetation about 40 feet from where the man was found. Inside the car, crews found Ziegler dead, Wilson reported. The car’s engine was cold, suggesting that the crash had occurred ear-lier in the evening.

The investigation indi-cates that the BMW was traveling eastbound on Cliffside Drive, at a high rate of speed, when it passed through the intersection with Little Boston Road and continued eastbound, Wilson reported.

The BMW left the paved roadway onto the south shoulder, then struck and sheared off a traffic sign, went over the embankment

and down into a ravine where it struck several trees and rolled. The car came to a stop, laying on the driver’s side, in heavy brush.

Excessive vehicle speed is suspected to be a pri-mary factor in the cause of the crash, Wilson reported. Investigators believe alcohol was a factor, but are await-ing toxicology test results as part of the autopsy.

The injured man was unable to tell crews how he ended up on the side of the road and officials ini-tially thought that he’d been the victim of a hit-and-run until the car was found in the woods.

NKF&R crews were on the scene for nearly five

hours.It was the second fatal

crash that day in Kitsap County. Grace B. San Nicolas, 39, of Del Mar, Calif., died when her 2001 Volvo sedan missed a curve on the 2500 block of Seabeck Highway NW, left the roadway and struck a tree. Investigators believe vehicle speed was a factor.Earlier North End crashes

Two Kingston men died in North End crashes in September.

Matthew R. Wheaton, 31, died Sept. 9 when his SUV left a section of Little Boston Road near Hood Canal Drive and crashed into trees.

Benjamin Robison, 21, died Sept. 23 after his motorcycle collided with a Jeep on Hansville Road.

Jeff Bauman ... last meeting as councilman


KINGSTON — Twelve photos are pinned to a cork board inside the bathroom of The Flying Pickle.

The board, dubbed “Wall of Shame,” captures the final moments of those who failed to finish the Sounder Pounder Challenge offered at the newly established res-taurant.

Where 12 have failed, however, one succeeded. And in late October, Casey Hawthorn walked away the sole Kitsap resident — so far — to finish the enormous breakfast.

“He came in, sat down and said ‘OK, you’re going to have to order me a shirt, because I already know I am going to win this,’ ” said Jon Trunnell, co-owner of The Flying Pickle Cafe.

The Sounder Pounder Challenge is based on the television show “Man v. Food.” It is not your typical breakfast item.

The Sounder Pounder is approximately 51/2 pounds of food and includes 18 eggs, 1 pound of hash browns, one Roma tomato, one red pepper, one onion, 1 cup of spinach, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, a little more than 1 cup of gravy and two pieces of toast.

If the intimidating meal is finished in one hour or less, it is free. Those who brave the meal, but cannot finish it in one hour, pay $20 and their picture goes on the bathroom’s “Wall of Shame.”

Has Trunnell tried it him-self?

“Yeah, My picture is on the Wall of Shame,” he said. “Of course, I came close, I got about 75-80 percent done with it.”

Two other people came close to finishing, Trunnell said. If they had about 10 more minutes, their pic-tures would be on the “Wall of Fame,” along with Hawthorn’s.

The rest of the challeng-ers finish about 70-80 per-cent. One person, Trunnell said, didn’t finish one-third of the meal.

And then there are those people who are all talk.

“There’s always people that are like, ‘I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it,’” Trunnell said. They say “I’m going to wait until next Sunday and I’m going to make sure I’m going to do it right … And then we never see them again.”

If defying the limits of ingestion is not on the

menu, The Flying Pickle Cafe offers a variety of other breakfast items as well as sandwiches, subs, salads and side dishes. The most popu-lar breakfasts include the Eggs Benedict and breakfast burrito. The chicken curry sandwich and mammoth sub seem to be the most popular lunch items. And the baked potato salad is the most popular side dish. The menu currently offers six vegetarian items as well.

The Flying Pickle Cafe is located in the same building that was once the Coastal Cafe, 8208 NE State Highway Suite B102. The cafe is owned by Trunnell and his wife, Brandi.

Jon Trunnell said the two

originally considered pur-chasing the Poulsbo branch of Whiskey Creek when it closed. He said The Flying Pickle’s current location is perfect for a first-time busi-ness owner.

Trunnell said they have worked to keep a simi-lar “feel” to Coastal Cafe, including employing the same two waitresses. The Flying Pickle, however, now offers table service although many people still order at the counter.

Why call his restaurant The Flying Pickle?

“It was just a name that was tossed around,” Trunnell said. “Make it more upbeat and not so … blah.”

Che oke’ ten of the Saanich First Nation on Vancouver Island gave a free performance Wednesday in the S’Klallam Longhouse, as part of the Kitsap Regional Library events pro-gram. “I want to see how [Coast Salish] storytelling compares to this area,” said Ray Ives, Port Gamble S’Klallam tribal member. Che oke’ ten shared Saanich stories, and offered songs on his drum — which means “a family of hearts beat-ing together” in his language — and a wooden flute for the 20-plus crowd. “All of us are people of the earth ... all we have to do is remember,” he said.

POULSBO — Four men were in custody Tuesday, charged with desecrat-ing about a dozen graves at Breidablik Community Evergreen Cemetery north of Poulsbo.

The desecration concerns the forced removal of brass name plaques from the grave sites. Many of the graves were those of military veter-ans. The thefts were discov-ered and reported to 9-1-1 on Nov. 11, Veterans Day.

Kitsap County Sheriff ’s detectives arrested three of the suspects Sunday at vari-ous locations in the county:

Brian Lindsay, 41, was arrested at about 10 a.m. in Silverdale and booked into jail on a charge of first-degree trafficking in stolen prop-erty. Bail: $50,000. Detectives determined this man pur-chased the stolen brass grave plaques, following the thefts, for about $200.

Joseph Felice of Poulsbo, 28, was arrested at 10:50 a.m. at a residence in the 25000 block of Pioneer Way NW, Poulsbo. He was booked into jail on charges of first-degree theft and first-degree traf-ficking in stolen property. Bail: $100,000.

Jeremy Toliver of Poulsbo, 38, was arrested at 11:40 a.m. at a residence in the 500

block of NE Lincoln Road, Poulsbo. He was booked into jail on charges of first-degree theft and first-degree traf-ficking in stolen property. Bail: $100,000.

The three were arraigned in Kitsap County District Court on Thursday.

A fourth suspect was taken into custody by Bremerton police around 4 a.m. Tuesday on Kitsap Way in Bremerton. Robert James McDonald, 40, was charged Tuesday afternoon in Kitsap County District Court (felony) with second-degree trafficking in

stolen property. His bail was set at $35,000.

“Detectives have probable cause to suspect that both of the Poulsbo men are respon-sible for the actual thefts of the brass grave plaques from 12 grave sites in the cemetery,” sheriff ’s spokes-man Scott Wilson reported. “Sheriff ’s investigators deter-mined that McDonald had attempted to sell the stolen plaques to a scrap met-als dealership in the Gorst area of the county, south of Bremerton.”

During the investigation,

detectives learned most of the brass grave plaques were located on a residential property in the Chico area of Central Kitsap, Wilson reported. Sheriff ’s depu-ties and detectives found the plaques in and around a garage on the property. Most of the plaques had been cut up into smaller pieces and the names obliterated by metal grinding.

Detectives have recov-ered 10 of the 12 brass grave plaques stolen from the North Kitsap cemetery. All the plaques sustained dam-

age that can’t be repaired. Detectives estimate the total loss of the brass plaques, to the next-of-kin of those interred in the cemetery, at about $15,000. According to the website www.scrapme-talpricesandauctions.com, some scrap metal dealers were paying as much as $2.97 per pound for scrap brass in April.

Persons with information about the missing plaques should call Detective Lissa Gundrum at (360) 337-5669.

Irmgard “Irmi” Castillo November 28, 1927 - August 10, 2011

The forever fabulous Irmgard Castillo

passed on August 10, 2011, with her family

by her side in Poulsbo, Washington. A

survivor of stage four Ovarian Cancer,

Irmgard had fought the disease for seven years.

Irmgard Ebner was born in Starnberg, Germany, on November

28, 1927. She met her husband, US Army Sergeant Philip Castillo,

at a USO dance. The couple married in 1947, and the following

year, left for a new life in Hawaii. Following her husband’s death

in 1989, Irmgard moved to Poulsbo to be close to her daughter

Betty and grandson Adam.

Irmgard swam, walked and exercised daily throughout her life.

As a youngster, she was one of the few people to swim across the

chilly, alpine Lake Starnberg, the second largest lake in Bavaria.

She was an independent woman and lifelong learner who always

took the chance to learn or do something new. She had a variety

of vocations, but most enjoyed being an entertainer and singer at

the Brauhaus in the International Marketplace in Waikiki during

the 1970s.

Irmgard is survived by her children: Philip Castillo (Faith);

daughters Susan Santiago (Thomas); Betty Mumm (Alan);

and Lina Caroline Heil (Michael); six grandchildren; two great

granddaughters; family in Germany; and friends around the world.

The family would like to thank doctors Joseph L. Johnson,

Bruce Carlton and Manfred Henne, and the nurses and staff who

cared for her through 14 chemotherapy treatments, as well as

her many friends at the Poulsbo Rite Aid and Albertsons grocery

store, who greeted her so warmly during many difficult days.

Memorial services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 26 at Saint Charles Anglican Church, Poulsbo. In lieu of flowers the family requests that

you share a special memory; please bring or email your story to

[email protected].

POULSBO — An octopus washed up along Johnson Creek about one week ago, a locale not known for octo-pus habitat.

Liberty Bay, however, is. Patrick Mus, director of the Marine Science Center in downtown Poulsbo, said he has heard of octopuses com-ing to the surface of Liberty Bay from Puget Sound, and if they find fresh water, like Johnson Creek, it’s usually because of “happenstance,” when the tide has pulled it along.

Jan Wold, the resident

who found the octopus in her backyard, said that’s what she thought happened. On Nov. 10, she looked out and saw it in the creek, right before it enters Liberty Bay.

“I’ve never, ever seen an octopus wash up [here],” said Jan Wold, who has degrees in aquatic biology and fisheries.

Mus has. He said some-times air bubbles will become trapped in the ani-mal or a release in carbon dioxide will cause it to float when it dies. He said he’s seen octopus at the surface three or four times in the last 10 years.

After examining the octopus at Johnson Creek, Mus said it was an adult

male Giant Pacific Octopus, about 11 feet long and when alive probably weighed up to 60 pounds. Part of one of its tentacles was eaten off. Mus took the octopus back to the Marine Science Center for a necropsy.

Octopus like rocky out-croppings deep in the sea

for them to hide, according to Rich Childers, a resource scientist for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Because they live so deep (usually 215 feet down), when they die they just sink to the bottom. Still, he agrees with Mus that finding an octopus topside

isn’t anything to be “alarmed about.”

Giant Pacific Octopus are the largest species of octopus in the world. The Marine Science Center cur-rently has a young female octopus on display.

Patrick Mus, director of the Marine Science Center in Poulsbo, examines a dead octo-pus that washed up in Johnson Creek Nov. 10.

PORT ORCHARD — More than 100 positive comments were sent to the Kitsap County Hearing Examiner when she heard the application for the boat launch at Point No Point.

While some neigh-bors and the Port Gamble S’Klallam and Suquamish tribes voiced concerns, state Fish and Wildlife Regional Director Michele Culver said her department has addressed drawbacks to the proposed project.

Culver submitted a shore-line substantial development permit and an administra-tive conditional use permit for a 90-foot boat launch, beach restoration, parking, ADA-approved restroom facility, and stormwater facilities.

Karen Ashcroft, the coun-ty hearing examiner, heard testimony Nov. 10 and is expected to make her deci-sion in a few weeks.

It has been nearly 10 years since a boat could be launched at the site, about a quarter-mile west of the Point No Point lighthouse. Fishermen and boaters have since had to drive to Kingston or Salsbury Point to launch a motorized boat

longer than 16 feet.“Traditionally this area

has been a launch site, even before they put a rail launch in there in the early 1920s,” said Norm Reinhardt, presi-dent of the Kitsap Poggie Club. “It’s a popular destina-tion for [subsidiary] fisher-men.”

Reinhardt said the project would “replant” recreational fishing at Point No Point. The site was historically a fishing resort.

Other comments from around the county included support for youth activities and the convenience of the site.

Culver said one of the biggest concerns residents brought up was the size of the ramp and subsequently, the size of the boats allowed. The proposed 90-foot-long launch would be able to accommodate 26-foot boats, allowing commercial and recreational fishermen to use the site. However, Fish and Wildlife would not allow commercial activities, such as buying and selling fish caught, at the site, she said.

Judy Roupe of the Greater Hansville Area Advisory Council said she is con-cerned about the size of the boats that could be launched. She lives next to the site, and said she and her neighbors are mainly concerned about safety and “the lack of supervision at the proposed site.”

Suquamish Tribe Chairman Leonard Forsman said his government has a

hard time supporting this project, partly because of impacts to tribal fishing rights.

“We need to engage in meaningful government-to-government consultation,” he said.

Suquamish fisheries biol-ogist Alison O’Sullivan said there hasn’t been enough study of the potential environmental and traffic impacts.

The Port Gamble S’Klallam and Jamestown S’Klallam tribes submitted a joint statement, stating, “We hope that [the project] fosters a stewardship ethic toward natural resources,” and Port Gamble S’Klallam spokeswoman Ginger Vaughan said they support shoreline access but the project design is flawed.

Culver said funds have not been secured for the project, and a grant pro-posal will be submitted in July for the entire $2 million cost. If permits are approved and grant funding awarded, construction could begin in the summer 2013, she said.

Fish and Wildlife pur-chased the site in 1996 for $860,000. When Fish and Wildlife proposed to rede-velop the property in 2009, tearing down the rusting ramp and old resort cab-ins, the county appealed the project, citing issues with Fish and Wildlife’s environ-mental review.

In 2010, state and coun-ty officials agreed to work together on the project.

POULSBO — Work that began in the summer for Suquamish Tribe admin-istration has paid off for the North Kitsap School District.

On Nov. 10, Suquamish Chairman Leonard Forsman, superintendent of tribal education Joe Davalos and Suquamish council mem-bers Irene Carper and Jay Mills presented the district with $85,400.

The $85,400 was a “directed giving,” accord-ing to a memorandum from Forsman to school board president Val Torrens. The Suquamish Tribal Council approved the donation.

The programs that the tribe donated to include:

■ T r a n s p o r t a t i o n , $22,000.

■ Athletic participation fee scholarships, $10,000.

■ Chemistry and math books, $10,000.

■ Culinary arts/Odin Inn program, $6,000.

■ Portable keyboards, $6,000.

■ Basket Marsh and Pond Kids, $5,000.

■ Family Reading Nights, $5,000.

■ Kingston Middle School NASA field trip, $5,000.

■ Suquamish Elementary Rolling Readers Program, $5,000.

■ Math curriculum, $3,000.

■ North Kitsap High School track and field, $3,000.

■ Kingston High School Native American Club, $2,500.

■ Art training for art docents, $1,000.

■ Poulsbo Elementary’s Meaningful Work Program, $1,000.

■ Intertribal Parent Education Committee, $800.

■ Girls soccer program/training gear, $100.

The money was awarded through Appendix X of the gaming compact between the Suquamish Tribe and

the State of Washington. Of the largest donations,

Davalos said the money toward culinary arts and Odin Inn are simply to help keep the program running. The transportation funding was given in hopes a school bus run for students opt-ing to attend Kingston High School would be created.

Many of the students opt-ing to go to KHS were from the Suquamish Early College High School program, Director of Transportation Ronald Lee said. The high school was shut down for the 2011-12 school year. Lee said students began board-

ing the bus to Kingston Middle School so they could attend KHS.

Students out of the bound-ary of a school are not pro-vided transportation.

Because the state will not allow money to be given directly to transportation, the tribe opted to donate to the district’s general fund. The money does not have to be used for transportation.

Athletic fee scholar-ships are only awarded to students qualifying for free or reduced meal programs, according to district spokes-woman Robyn Chastain.

The school board

approved an increase in ath-letic participation fees this year. It costs high school students $125 to participate in the first two sports; the third sport is free. Middle school students pay $60 per sport, with third and fourth sport free. Students who qualify for the free or reduced lunches can apply for waivers.

Overall, Davalos said most of the awards will benefit all students in the district.

There is a possibility the tribe will look to provide more grant money for the 2012-13 school year, but it remains up to the Tribal

Council. Though it is not certain

the district will receive more grant money from the tribe in the near future, the tribe continues to pro-vide funding for Suquamish Elementary School pro-grams. This includes pay-ing for a section of all-day kindergarten, which usually costs about $60,000 to run, Davalos said.

Davalos, who worked as principal of Suquamish until the 2010-11 school year, said he hopes all-day kindergar-ten is provided for everyone soon, but it is not likely.

The tribe also continues to pay for the Suquamish Elementary summer school program, which costs about $20,000 to $25,000 to run.

Gobble,gobble

BY ERIN JENNINGSKitsap Week

Chris Casad was a giver.

He gave his time and energy

as an active board member of the South Kitsap Hel-pline Food Bank and the local chapter of the Kiwanis Club.

Professionally, he spent his 33-year career as a pub-lic servant working in the Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Offi ce.

“Chris was always the fi rst person to volunteer at our club,” said Cerissa Holme, a friend and fellow Kiwanis Club member. “He always put others’ needs in front of his own.”

Holme and her husband Doug, own the Family Inn at Manchester restaurant, a place where Casad was a frequent customer.

“He’d come down and play darts and cue up any song from the band America,” Holme said. “You’d never know he was a prosecutor. He didn’t fl ash that on you.”

On Nov. 26, 2010, at the age of 57, Casad died while visiting his daughter in

Europe.As the one-year an-

niversary of his death approached, Holme and other Kiwanis members didn’t want the date to pass by without remembering Casad.

But how best to honor him?

It didn’t take long for the idea to take shape. Th ey decided to christen a new event and name it the Chris Casad Feast — a free com-munity dinner for those down on their luck.

“We decided to call it a feast because Chris loved to eat. He made no bones

about it,” Holme said. “He’s smiling on us, we are sure.”

Because Casad died around Th anksgiving last year, they decided it should be a traditional Th anksgiving dinner. And because Casad loved to eat at the Family Inn, it should be held there. And since he had spent so much time helping those less fortunate than him and, because he was a huge fan of the band America, the theme of the dinner was taken from the fi rst line of the song “Lonely People:”

Th is is for all the lonely people, thinking that life has passed them by.

Th e chips fell into place and the Kiwanis Club successfully raised more than $1,000 for the event.

Th e dinner will be held on Th anksgiving

Eve, Nov. 23, beginning at 3 p.m. until the last person is served, which Holme is guessing will be around 7 or later.

Th e plan is to hold the Chris Casad Feast every year, though Holme admits planning for the inaugural

event has been tricky.

“Th ere are some chal-lenges,” she said. “Like how many turkeys do I cook? I can always mash up potatoes and quickly make dressing. But how many tur-keys do I need?”

Th e dinner will be tradi-tional Th anks-giving fare, from green beans to pumpkin pie. Employees of the restaurant will prepare and cook the food, while Kiwanis members will serve and greet the guests.

Casad’s mother, Myrna Casad, said she and her two sons are very touched by this event.

“It would be something Chris would have been very pleased about,” she said.

Kitsap County Pros-ecutor Russ Hauge said he believed Casad’s reaction to the dinner would be, “Aww, shucks.”

“He was that type of guy,” Hague said. “He was always

happy to help out, but never wanted to be in the limelight.”

Holme agreed. “He was one of the most personable people I’ve met,” she said. “He was all about getting to know you. He didn’t talk much about himself.”

Myrna Casad added,

“Of course, I’m his mom and all, but he really was a good person. I really ap-preciate everyone’s eff orts surrounding this Th anks-giving meal.”

If you are a card-car-rying library patron, did you know your card allows you to go

beyond checking out stacks of books?

With your card you can learn a new language. Or fi nd a long lost relative. Or fi nally discover the reason

your 1973 Trans Am won't start. Th is can all be done at the website, www.krl.org.

“Traditionally, library websites were more like a business card —the site would tell you its hours and location,” Digital Branch Manager Sharon Grant said. “Now the website has become another branch of the library.”

Grant’s job is a new one

for the library system and she said KRL was very for-ward thinking in creating her position. She works out of the Sylvan Way branch, but the majority of her job is done online.

“I think there will always will be physical librar-ies,” she said. “But having someone who is working to bring things digitally along as well enhances the whole experience.”

Grant also helps educate the public on ways to use technology to gather infor-mation. At a recent event at the library’s storefront at the Kitsap Mall, patrons fl ocked to learn about eReaders.

“It took my breath away,” she said. “Over 100 people came, they were almost breaking down the doors to get in. Th at doesn’t always happen at library events.”

Kitsap patrons have embraced digital. In the last year, more than 30,000 downloadable checkouts (including eBooks, audio

books and music) have been processed through KRL’s system.

Th e number is sure to in-crease, thanks to the recent change allowing Kindle devices to be compatible with the library’s system.

If you aren’t familiar with how an eBook works, here’s a brief lowdown on

the downloads: Depend-ing on your reading device (Kindle, iPad, or smart-phone for example), you search the library’s website for available titles. Once you fi nd a book you wish to read, you download it or, if it’s a high-demand title, sign up on the waiting list.

Just because an eBook

is in a digital form doesn’t mean it can be checked out an infi nite number of times. Th e publishers allow only one user per book at a time.

And while physical books have their own benefi ts (being more tactile comes to mind), digital books have their own benefi ts as well:

“Over 100 people came, they were almost breaking down the doors to get in. That doesn’t always happen at library events.”

Digital Librarian Sharon Grant, on a recent KRL event

See KRL, Page 5

no lost library books, no books chewed by a pet or ruined by someone who ate Cheetos while reading (orange fi ngerprints are hard to remove). And no overdue fi nes. When your time expires with a book — eBooks are given the same three-week window as with physical books — the fi le disappears from your eReader. Poof. No more books to return, no more fi nes piling up.

Grant equates the learn-ing curve with eReaders with how people responded when the Internet became widespread. Back when the Internet was a new sensation, people turned to the libraries for guid-ance on how to navigate the web and how to use email. Grant sees eBooks as an

exciting opportunity for the library to help educate the public.

Personal interaction takes place as well. If you are working on a research project and are stumped, use the form “Ask a Librar-ian” and you’ll receive an answer from a real, honest-to-goodness Kitsap librar-ian. You can even request book suggestions.

While some of our cur-rent technology seems like it came out of an episode of “Th e Jetsons,” Grant said we aren’t at the point where digital books replace all traditional books.

“People get their infor-mation in a variety of ways and the library is an institu-tion that thinks about ways to help people in as many ways as possible,” Grant said. “It’s important to reach an audience who may not visit the physical library.”

My mannerly Grandma Win surely cringes in

her grave when my family dines.

Our elbows are on the table and our napkins aren’t properly placed in our laps. I can practically hear her chanting, “Mabel, Mabel, if you’re able, keep your elbows off the table.”

In our culture of quick meals and hurried sched-ules, our table etiquette has become a tad rusty. Th is Th anksgiving, I plan to reclaim a civil dining table. Of course, I need to refresh my own etiquette memory.

■ Napkins should remain in your lap at all time— not used as a bib, not crumpled on the table. Th ere is some debate regarding what to do with your napkin if you need to excuse yourself during the meal. Some people say to leave it neatly folded on your chair, others say to leave it neatly to the left of your plate. I suppose if your napkin is heavily soiled with gravy stains, it's

best to leave it out of sight.■ Pass to the left or to the

right? I always forget this one. Here’s an easy way to remember: It's right to pass to the right.

■ When dining at a formally set table, you work from the outside in with your fl atware. Th e outside small fork is used for salad. Th e larger fork is for dinner, and the tiniest fork is for dessert.

■ Wait to start eating until everyone at the table is seated, served and waiting.

It’s time to begin eating when the host lift s his or her fork.

■ Remember that salt and pepper are a happily married couple. Th ey don’t like to be separated. Even if someone asks you for the salt, pass along the pepper as well.

■ It is not polite to reach across other people. If you have to stretch out your arm to reach the item, you need to ask for it to be passed to you. In extreme circumstances, if you must do so, excuse yourself before hand by saying “Par-don my reach.”

■ Serving utensils are for serving, not for your personal use. For instance, when taking a serving of butter, use the knife on the butter dish to put a pat on your plate. Th en, use your own knife to spread the butter on your roll.

■ People enjoy seafood, but no one enjoys see-food. Chew with your mouth closed and don’t talk with your mouth full.

■ If you are served a food item that you don’t care for, make every attempt to take a couple of polite bites.

■ Remain seated until ev-eryone has fi nished eating.

■ Make polite conversa-tion by asking questions of those seated around you.

■ Compliment and thank the host for the meal.

■ Ask the host if you can help in the kitchen, clear the table or dry dishes.

■ If you brought a side dish to share for the meal and there are left overs, off er some to your host before taking the dish home.

■ It doesn’t matter if you are dining on paper plates or fi ne china, exquisite manners are always in good taste.

aroundkitsapTHE BAINBRIDGE ISLAND REVIEW

Four new councilmem-bers in Bainbridge: Three of the four newly elected City Council members say their criticisms of the city’s performances in recent years were mostly refl ective of what community mem-bers told them before and during their campaigns.

Sarah Blossom, Steve Bonkowski and Dave Ward said changes were needed to assure the city’s fi nan-cial situation improves, basic services such as road maintenance and equitable utility rates are provided, and the council improves the way it does business.

Anne Blair, the fourth winner in the election, was less critical of the council and administration during her campaign but she made it known that she thought the city had lost the trust of much of the community. That was a common theme among the four winners.

BREMERTON PATRIOT

Teen charged with having gun on campuses:

A 15-year-old male was charged Nov. 14 with possessing a dangerous weapon on school facilities, as well as fi rearm theft and unlawful possession.

The charges, in Kitsap County Juvenile Court, follow his arrest Nov. 11 for allegedly bringing the gun onto the Central Kitsap and North Kitsap high school campuses.

The teen, a student at Central Kitsap High School, reportedly had the gun when he left the high school in Silverdale. He allegedly brandished the weapon while provoking a fi ght with a North Kitsap High School student at Raab Park in Poulsbo. He then walked onto the North Kitsap High School campus, concealing the weapon, but was asked by school offi cials to leave because he was not a North Kitsap student. The teen allegedly fi red one shot from the pistol in a nearby park.

THE GREAT NORTHWEST

BY JILL PERTLER

Gratitude. We all acknowledge the inherent value of being grateful

— at least we do on the last Thursday in November.

We fill our mouths and our stomachs with too much good food and spend a moment or a mealtime pondering the things we are thankful for. We may even go around the table and name them. Then, after stuffing ourselves with a second slice of pumpkin pie (extra whipped cream, please) we settle on the couch to let the tryptophan do its work, and we call it a holiday.

Some things, like cran-

berry soufflé and Aunt Elsa’s homemade pecan pie, are best left to special meals. Other dishes should be at the center of our table 365 days a year. Gratitude is one of them.

(Excuse me here, while I take a moment to hop on my soapbox.)

Sometimes I fear we live in a society where gratitude is saved for the fine china; and the attitude we dish out every day is more likely to contain a hefty portion of entitlement. It happens to the best of us. I see it at my house.

My children mow the grass and believe they should be paid. They take $20 to go on the class field

trip and forget to bring back the change. They know when the family cell phone contract is due and believe they should get a new phone — just because they can. When they leave their bike behind the mini-van and it gets run over, they naturally assume we’ll buy a new one.

Our culture has be-come more attuned to instant gratification than long-lasting gratitude. As a parent, I’d be remiss if I didn’t admit it’s partially my fault. Maybe it’s all my fault. Either way, I feel a responsibility to remedy the situation.

Earlier this year, my fam-ily started a gratitude list.

It’s comprised of a bunch of pieces of paper taped to the wall in the kitchen (very fancy). When we encounter something that invokes gratitude, we write it on the papers provided. We’ve got a variety of listings. Some are plainly obvious: we are thankful for pens, gratitude lists and paper. Others are of the expected sort: school, friends, family, God and sunshine. Finally, there’s the more unexpected: bleach (my entry after a day spent cleaning); air “condishing-ing,” misspelled by my 9-year-old on a hot sum-mer day; yard work, when it’s done (my husband’s contribution); and driv-ing (courtesy of one of the

teenagers).Some days we don’t write

anything down. That’s OK. The exercise is meant to get us thinking about our at-titudes. Cheesy, I know, but there are substantive and scientific reasons to practice gratitude.

Psychologists and other brain experts say gratitude increases our happiness and general satisfaction with life. Compound that with the fact that happy people tend to be healthier. In addition, expressions of gratitude motivate oth-ers to express their own thankfulness — sort of like a pay-it-forward gratitude grapevine.

Gratitude grows and brings positive outcomes when it does. In a society where people are often focused on their individual

satisfaction and happi-ness, it seems like gratitude works to provide us with exactly that, and more. Best of all, we can try gratitude for ourselves anytime, anywhere, with no strings attached — because it’s free.

So, whether you’re having turkey dinner on a Thursday in November, or spaghetti and meatballs on a Monday in February, you might want to take a moment to pass gratitude around the table. It comple-ments a variety of meals, and in addition to its other benefits, gratitude has no calories. (Thank goodness for that.)

committee continues gathering signatures: Citizens United for Silverdale, the committee supporting Silverdale incorporation, continues petitioning for signatures. The committee has about a month’s time left.

Marcus Hoffman, the committee spokesman, said

the petition needs to be signed by mid-December. At least 10 percent of registered voters’ signatures within the proposed city boundaries is needed in order for the measure to go to voters.

The committee remains on target for a special election in late April or May for voters to decide whether they want Silverdale to become a city. — CentralKitsapReporter.com

NORTH KITSAP HERALD

Brass headstone markers stolen at cemetery: Kitsap County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating the theft of brass headstone plates at a community cemetery in Breidablik.

At least some of the plates are believed to have been stolen from the graves of military veterans, sheriff’s

spokesman Scott Wilson reported.

A community homeowner’s association president called Kitsap County 9-1-1 on Nov. 11 to report the theft of 10 to 15 brass headstone plates.

The markers were stolen from cement pedestal bases at each gravesite. Investigators said a pry bar was likely used to remove the plates and, in some

cases, some of the cement bases were damaged.

Recount certain in mayor’s race: A recount in the Port Orchard mayor’s race seems almost certain, as the vote count stands at 1,429 for Tim Matthes and 1,427 for incumbent Lary Coppola in nearly complete

results reported by the county Elections Office.

The updated total Nov. 16 includes 100 ballots that had to be reviewed because they were not marked properly and couldn’t be scanned by machine, county Elections Manager Dolores Gilmore said. About three dozen challenge ballots still could be added to the count.

Calliope is a 7 1/2 yr old declawed shorthaired torotiseshell She is a very friendly, smart and inquisitive girl. Calliope has lived with another

female cat and two large dogs. She came to us due to some territorial issues so she might enjoy life as an only “child” better. She has done well with the cats at the cattery and the adoption center. Calliope loves to be petted and brushed.

Since she is declawed she must be an indoor cat. She loves to sit in the window and lying on the fenced in porches watching the birds and squirrels. Calliope will be hanging out at the Poulsbo Petco this week hoping to meet her new family.

BY ANDY PERDUE AND ERIC DEGERMANWine Press Northwest

Last winter, we wrote two columns about sparkling wine for the holidays. To follow up on that, we conducted a comprehen-sive judging of Northwest bubblies, blind-tasting 38 examples.

We learned what we

already suspected: Making sparkling wine is not easy, and those who focus their eff orts on the craft produce some of the best.

For example, Treveri Cellars in Yakima is a new winery, but owner Juergen Grieb has been making wine in Washington for the better part of three decades. One of his submissions was the No. 1 wine in our

competition. Additionally, Domaine Ste. Michelle in Paterson, one of the largest sparkling wine producers in the United States, earned top scores, as did Argyle Winery, arguably Oregon’s most famous sparkling wine house.

But there’s also room for newcomers in the category, with Washington’s West-port Winery continuing

to show its diversity in winemaking by craft ing a superb sparkling wine from Gewürztraminer.

While sparkling wine is traditionally made with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, we found a fun array of grapes being used in the Northwest, including Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Muscat and Müller-Th ur-gau.

Here are a few of our top picks:

■ Treveri Cellars NV Blanc de Blanc Extra-Sec Pinot Gris, Columbia Valley, $15: Juergen Grieb learned how to make sparkling wine in his native Germany and has honed his winemaking skills in

Washington for nearly three decades. Th e fi rst release from his own winery is a stunner with expressive lemon and pear aromas that invite further exploration. On the mouth, this opens with creamy, intense fl avors of honey and fresh-off -the-tree orchard fruit. It’s a beautifully craft ed bubbly.

■ Argyle Winery 2007 Brut, Willamette Valley, $27: Winemaker Rollin Soles uses mostly Chardon-nay (63 percent) with Pinot Noir from two estate vine-yards to craft this dry and delicious sparkler. It opens with aromas of big tropi-cal fruit, tart apples and lemons. On this palate, this wine opens with beautiful fl avors without being over-bearing. It reveals harmo-

nious notes of fresh bread and rich orchard fruit, all backed with great acidity.

■ Domaine Ste. Michelle NV Blanc de Blancs, Columbia Valley, $12: Domaine Ste. Michelle — aff ectionately known as DSM — is a remarkable operation, producing hun-dreds of thousands of cases of sparkling wine in the classic methode champe-noise method at aff ordable prices. Th at winemaker Rick Casqueiro can craft fi ne wines at such a value means we have no excuse to not drink more bubbles. Th is wine, made from Chardonnay, opens with aromas of cream soda and apples, followed by fl avors of apples, lemons and fresh, yeasty bread.


Every 70 seconds, another American family is affected by Alzheimer’s.

Over five million American’s and counting are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease. This disease can be devastating, both physically and

financially. With annual costs estimated at $183 billion, it dramatically impacts the family members as well as the patient. It is estimated that 80%

of care provided at home is given by family caregivers. Alzheimer’s can happen at a much earlier age than most people realize.
