POULSBO — Both men running for Port of Poulsbo Commission are lifelong boaters and animated about bringing a stronger eco-nomic contribution to the city.

Jim Rutledge wants to serve the community he now calls home, and Arnold “Arnie” Bockus wants to continue the relationship between the port and the city.

Rutledge is challenging Bockus for Position 3. While both have many of the same priorities for the port, they differ in their ideas of how to bring more revenue into the port and the city.

Port commissioners serve six-year terms, manage a budget of just over $1 million and are com-pensated $100 per meeting they attend.

Arnold ‘Arnie’ BockusBockus has been a commission-

er for seven years — first appointed to the position, he then ran unop-posed for his first term. A retired police officer from Connecticut, he spent five years in Washington state, partly with the Air Force. During a cross-country motor-


LITTLE BOSTON — The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe is asking for representation on the policy board of Kitsap County Central Communications, or CenCom, after its annual rate for 911 service jumped from $13,550 to $50,000 since 2009, a 270 percent increase.

S’Klallam Tribe Chairman Jeromy Sullivan asked CenCom director Richard Kirton and policy board members to renegotiate the Tribe’s contract. The Tribe paid $14,787 in 2010 but, according to Kirton, threatened to not pay the increased rate in 2011.

Sullivan said Tuesday that Port Gamble S’Klallam has paid its 2011 bill — $17,285, based on previous annual increases.

“We thought it was unfair people said we


POULSBO — To keep up with its population growth projections, the Poulsbo City Council adjusted impact fee ordinances to offset the cost of park maintenance and transportation development.

On Wednesday, the council voted to increase impact fees for residential and commercial developers to fund future park maintenance and mitigation of traffic impacts. Residents will not see an increase in taxes or user fees.

The new fees go into effect Oct. 26.

POULSBO — If you like adventure, cin-namon rolls and

pranks, you’ll wish you had hung out with Emma Otis.

As a child growing up in Gig Harbor, she regu-larly rowed across Tacoma Narrows to Point Defiance. “Sometimes, when the cur-rent was running through there, you had to pull like heck,” she said.

At age 12, she picked up newspapers on the dock and walked her rural Crescent Valley paper route in two hours.

While out on her round-bottom boat, if she knew some girls with her were “itchy” about being on the water, she’d make the boat sway to make them scream.

She went to nursing school at 16 and in her

career delivered several babies. She remembers that some parents would ask

her anxiously about whether

Port Gamble S’Klallam concerned about hike in fees for 911 service

cycle trip after retirement he came across Poulsbo, and moved here 16 years ago.

Bockus said first priority for the port is transforming the former armory property into a parking lot for port users.

Currently, there are 12 parking spots for boaters, as

well as Anderson Parkway, which is shared with down-town shoppers. There is little parking availability for trailers, making it dif-ficult to maneuver a boat from land to sea. In 2009, the state shut down the North Kitsap Armory; the Port purchased the site for $880,000, according to pre-vious Herald reports. The port planned to demolish the building and repave the

lot for paid parking stalls by early 2011, but permitting delays have slowed the proj-ect. Bockus said they are now on track, and 52 stalls will be available within a year.

The port brings in about $3.5 million a year to the city through moorage fees and visitors. Bockus said one thing he is proud of in his tenure is improving communication between the port and the city, espe-cially in discussing econom-ic development.

“In the past, the city was the city, the port was the port,” he said. Councilman David Musgrove serves as council liaison to the port. “They’re our biggest neigh-bor ... We do most of our business with the city.”

However, Bockus said his work isn’t done. Erosion along Muriel Iverson Williams Waterfront Park is a concern; boulders are slip-ping from the waterfront, undermining Anderson Parkway and causing dan-ger to small boats near shore. Bockus said the port

is going to need the city’s help to tackle the shoreline problem.

He also said the port is looking for grants and other funding opportuni-ties to extend the docks further into Liberty Bay to allow large boats, such as tour cruises, into downtown Poulsbo.

Bringing in tour boats “doesn’t impact parking downtown, at the same time it brings additional people to downtown to enhance the ... economy,” Bockus said.

Jim RutledgeA lifelong boater, Rutledge

planted his roots in Poulsbo more than 10 years ago and has searched for a way to serve the community ever since. He grew up living all over the country, previously living in Issaquah before finding Poulsbo. He has had numerous vocations, and is currently working as a phy-sician’s assistant at North Kitsap Family Practice & Urgent Care.

As a tenant of the port

district and sailboat enthusiast — “But I like powerboats just fine,” he said — Rutledge wants the port to return to its original mission: eco-nomic development and job creation.

He would like to see greater port involvement at downtown festivals and events, and bring in charter tour boats from Seattle, he said. He would also like to see the port district expand to the current city lim-its, which would mean a boost in property tax revenue.

“[The port] is in a unique position to con-tribute,” he said.

He also agreed with Bockus that the parking lot is a priority.

“Parking is key — it’s the choke point down-town,” he said, adding that the Port of Kingston has 10 more parking spots than slips. Port of Poulsbo has 263 perma-nent and 130 visiting slips.

Rutledge said the cur-rent commissioners are being great stewards, but he feels the port needs new energy.

“I have the time and energy to serve now,” he said.

POULSBO — The 99th annual Lutefisk Dinner is being co-hosted Saturday by First Lutheran Church and First Lutheran Thrivent Chapter members.

All of the money raised by the Thrivent chapter plus up to $1,000 in sup-plemental funding will go to Martha and Mary for its chapel remodel.

Lutefisk will be served at First Lutheran Church’s Christian Center on the corner of 4th and Hostmark from 11:40 a.m. to 4:20 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door.

On Sunday, the church’s worship services will be held at 8, 9 and 11 a.m. The sermon by Pastor Don Jukam culminates the 125th anniversary of Poulsbo First Lutheran Church.

The Thrivent chapter from Silverdale will host a barbecue lunch in the Christian Center for the church and community fol-lowing the 11 a.m. service.

weren’t paying our share,” Sullivan said. “We just wanted justification on why our price went from $15,000 in 2010 to $50,000.”

In 2009, the CenCom executive committee brought to the advisory board a more “equitable” payment formula, accord-ing to Kirton. Before 2009, the model formula CenCom charged its agen-cies was confusing, accord-ing to Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue Commissioner Bob Muhleman, a CenCom board member. The model was based on a mathemati-cal formula of property value, evaluations, popu-lation size and number of calls.

Several agencies, dis-tricts and organizations are included in CenCom’s ser-vice: Bainbridge, Bremerton, Port Gamble S’Klallam, Port Orchard, Poulsbo and Suquamish police and fire; Central, North and South Kitsap fire and res-

cue; Kitsap County Sheriff; Kitsap County; Bainbridge Ambulance; Kitsap Humane Society; and the U.S. Navy.

To even out the rate so larger districts didn’t sub-sidize smaller districts, the new formula is a minimum $50,000 fee to each agency, plus individual pay-per-call fee. The average pay-per-call for an agency in Kitsap County is $13. The statewide average is $65 per call, according to Kirton. So far only Port Gamble S’Klallam’s rate’s have been raised, as all other agencies already paid at least $50,000 a year, he said.

Nearly 70 percent of CenCom’s budget also comes from 911 taxes — a small amount from sales tax and about $8 per individual per year in telephone ser-vice tax.

Poulsbo Police paid $66,194 in 2009, according to Mayor Becky Erickson, who also expressed con-cern that the city’s rate was increasing disproportion-ately. Last year, CenCom received 13,836 911 calls from Poulsbo; this year,

Poulsbo Police will pay $90,000.

Port Gamble S’Klallam is being asked to pay $50,000. There were 3,105 911 calls from Port Gamble S’Klallam in 2010 and 2,729 in 2009.

“We should just pay our fair share and not more than our fair share,” said Erickson, who is also on the policy board. She added that during and since the restructure, the amount of calls CenCom received “remained relatively con-stant.”

However, Kirton said Poulsbo’s increase is actu-ally one bill for two services previously billed separately — 911 service and partici-pation in the police infor-

mation management sys-tem. CenCom brought both services together in one bill to make payments easier, according to Kirton.

Meanwhile, Sullivan said the larger issue for him is representation. He said the Tribe is now discussing a solution with CenCom, but he feels it would not be in this position if Port Gamble S’Klallam was represented on the policy board. The Suquamish Tribe is the only other agency without board representation.

Fire and police chiefs are welcome to participate in a separate advisory board. However, Kirton said a Port Gamble S’Klallam represen-tative had not been present

in any meeting in 2009 or 2010.

“We’ve wanted their par-ticipation, for everyone to come in and explain their concerns,” Muhleman said of Port Gamble S’Klallam. “Now we’re in the 11th hour, [and] all of a sudden it’s a crisis.”

Sullivan said he isn’t sure why no one participated in advisory board meetings, but it is something that will be corrected for future meetings.

“We’re willing to do what-ever it takes to work this out. We feel like our voice was heard at the last meeting,” Sullivan said. “Its important to our membership to feel safe.”

Both Kirton and Sullivan said they are committed to resolving the issue, and Kirton said service will not be cut.

BREMERTON — More than 300 people attended the Olympic College Foundation Luncheon on Monday, gener-ating more than $100,000 in donations for the college.

Held annually in October, the luncheon is a major fund-

raising event for the founda-tion, with funds going toward program support, equipment needs, scholarships and emer-gency grants.

The luncheon broke an attendance record set in 2006.

The luncheon’s featured

speaker was Olympic College student Stella Heard, who shared her life’s story about growing up in a small village in Kenya and then attending Olympic College after moving to the United States. Heard thanked those in attendance

for their generosity in giving to the foundation, because she was able to receive support from the foundation which helped her achieve her educa-tion at Olympic College.

Other speakers included Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Port Angeles, foundation executive director Joan Hanten, founda-tion director of development Kelly Woodward, and new

board member Jim Robinson, who made an impassioned request for donations.

The common theme among the speakers at this year’s lun-cheon was the need for the community to continue to support higher education dur-ing these difficult economic times.

Supports Gelder for County Commission

It is Kitsap County’s good for-tune that a man of such high caliber is willing to serve as a county com-missioner. I am writing, of course, of Robert Gelder.

Mr. Gelder has a substantial his-tory of working with and for the residents of this county. Through both civic and service forums, he’s led efforts to address issues ranging from health care to fiscal responsi-bility, and to protecting the rights of property owners while being responsive to the concerns of the non-property-owning majority.

A long-time Kitsap County res-ident, property owner and civic leader, he’s developed a keen aware-ness of the hopes, needs and frus-trations of a wide range of our citi-zenry, and has proved himself both an able respondent and respected leader.

The men and women we’ve elected who wrestle daily with the county’s issues saw in Mr. Gelder the responsible, intelligent and levelheaded qualities that would make him a valuable member of the county commission. Mr. Gelder was appointed because he has proved himself capable of the chal-lenge of working to administer the limited resources of Kitsap County and responding to and juggling the variety of needs and desires of its residents.

Robert Gelder is certainly the man who has earned my vote for county commissioner. I encourage other Herald readers to compare Mr. Gelder’s qualifications and suit-ability with those of his opponent.

Robert D. BrownKeyport

■ ■ ■

Please join me in supporting Robert Gelder for Kitsap County commissioner, District 1.

Rob was appointed to the posi-tion in March and quickly got up to speed with county issues and budget challenges, as he served two years on the Kitsap County Citizens Budget Advisory Committee. He spent seven years as an administra-tor at Martha and Mary in Poulsbo and handled human and health care situations with compassion and integrity.

He understands how to man-age personnel and how to balance a complex budget with diminish-ing revenues and increasing service demands.

He has been and continues to be an excellent public servant. Vote for Rob Gelder for commissioner in November.

Marilyn BoyntonIndianola

Supports Tibbs for County Commission

To keep and bear arms is the Second Amendment to the Constitution of our United States of America. A well-armed citizenry is paramount to the freedom and well being of the inhabitants of our land.

The Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club is part of the chain that pro-tects our citizens. People must be prepared and trained in the use of weapons to properly and safely protect themselves. While I am not a member of KPRC, I believe in the work that they do to protect and train our citizens.

Chris Tibbs, a candidate for county commissioner, District 1, also supports the Second Amendment rights guaranteed in our Constitution. He also believes that a trained citizenry is basic for the freedom we enjoy in our land.

It is wrong for the county pros-ecutor to single out a private club and harass them on trumped-up charges. The prosecutor should be supporting the gun range and all that they do for our community. It would seem the prosecutor would have more important issues for his staff and our money. The property has been owned by the gun club for 85 years and no fatalities or injuries

have occurred. Support Chris Tibbs for coun-

ty commissioner and insure our Second Amendment rights for the future.

Monopolies are generally a bad thing — in business and in poli-tics.

An example is right here in Kitsap County, where a single party controls virtually every aspect of our local government. This is par-ticularly troubling considering that our commissioners, elected (or appointed) to conduct the people’s business, are marching in lockstep to abdicate two of their three pri-mary responsibilities — transpor-tation planning and land use plan-ning.

All three believe that the Puget Sound Regional Council should be allowed to dictate these policies to the county — Vision 2040 policies that include toll roads on major arterials, smart growth policies to limit rural services, “sustainable” environmental policies that keep people from enjoying and improv-ing their properties, and a host of other intrusive and unwanted gov-ernmental controls.

OPINIONNorth Kitsap

LETTERSIN OUR OPINION

The North Kitsap Herald recommends the following candi-dates in the Nov. 8 general election.Kitsap County Commission, District 1: Rob Gelder.

Since being appointed to the commission in March, Gelder mediated an agreement on the Point No Point boat launch, identifi ed ways to make permitting easier for residents (the county will initiate an online permitting system in January), began discussing with mayors ways cities and the county can avoid duplicating equipment purchases, and developed a for-est stewardship plan that will help pay for maintenance of our forested public spaces. Let’s let him continue the work.Poulsbo City Council, Position 2: Connie Lord. Lord has experience as a business owner and city offi cial in Bainbridge and Poulsbo. She wants to assist in the revitalization of Viking Avenue, preserve view corridors, improve the appearance of Anderson Parkway, and collaborate with the county to avoid duplication of services and equipment purchases. She’s worked on behalf of parks and open space protection. She deserves another term. Poulsbo City Council, Position 3: Gary Nystul. Nystul is alone on the ballot but is being challenged by a write-in candidate. We endorse Nystul. His experience as fi nance director and city councilman in Kalispell, Mont., as a certifi ed public accountant, and as independent auditor of the City of Bremerton will serve Poulsbo well as it grapples with budgetary contraints. His audits in Bremerton have prompted changes. And in Kalispell he dealt with issues similar to those he’ll face on the Poulsbo council. His experience will serve him, and us, well.North Kitsap School Board, District 4: Val Torrens. Changes need to be made in the school district. And school board presi-dent Torrens is leading the board as it makes those changes. During her fi rst term, the district cut administration costs, balanced the budget amid declining enrollment and revenues, and began the process of hiring a new superintendent. After the enrollment fi asco in 2010-11, the district returned to its traditional method of estimating enrollment, with positive results. She looks forward to hiring a new superintendent, improving the budget, and, as she said, “getting us focused on advancing student achievement.” She deserves another term to continue the work. Port of Kingston Commission, District 3: Walt Elliott. Elliott, chairman of the Kingston Ferry Advisory Committee, has spent years building community and legislative relationships that will prove invaluable in the next six years, particularly regard-ing SoundRunner. There’s not much his involvement hasn’t touched — parks, passenger ferries, state ferries. He has solid ideas on how to improve parking, improve the availability of moorage and anchorages, improve the port’s impact on the marine environment, and improve public access to informa-tion. He has the right combination of business, community, and maritime experience for the job. Port of Poulsbo Commission, Position 3: Arnold “Arnie” Bockus. In Bockus’s fi rst term, the commission acquired the old armory site for soon-to-be-developed public parking, and improved its relationship with the City of Poulsbo; commis-sioners and council members attend each other’s meetings, and the commission and council jointly meet periodically to discuss issues of mutual interest. Bockus wants to expand the port’s role in economic development; he supports marina expansion to accommodate tour boats and more seaplanes (our seaplane dock is one of nine sanctioned by the FAA in the state). A big challenge looming: Stopping erosion of Anderson Parkway, which is built on fi ll. The city and the port are work-ing together on possible solutions. Voters should give Bockus six more years.

Bob BenzeSilverdale

Supports Henden for School Board

Choosing the best pros-pect among a strong field of qualified candidates can be confusing. However, one shouldn’t lose sight of who the candidate will be serv-ing.

As a parent, I am espe-cially interested in the North Kitsap School Board District 4 position because the schools partner with us to ready our children for college and the workplace.

Compromising learn-ing with multiple levels of a foreign language during the same period, laying off 20-plus teachers, and raising sport participation fees by $50 are a few decisions that seem to be limiting students’ academic and extra curricu-lar opportunities. Difficult decisions need to be made

during uncertain times, but the classroom should be the last place affected.

I have known Scott Henden for the past 15 years as a father, coach, business-man and friend, and come November I’ll be casting my vote for Scott Henden.

John Wahl Jr.Kingston

■ ■ ■

Scott Henden is a candi-date for school board who you can trust with your chil-dren’s future.

He is a family man whose children attend North Kitsap schools. He wants the best education for all children by giving them the opportunity to learn and graduate from quality schools with teach-ers who have the resources necessary to do their job. He has many years of experi-ence running his own busi-ness and has the respect of local business owners.

Scott Henden is known for integrity and fair dealing with his customers. He will provide the same care to school budgets, school pro-grams and communication with teachers and parents. He knows how to get the job done within a budget and has years of experience working on public boards.

He is a seasoned leader who will serve North Kitsap Schools by working effec-tively with fellow board members, students, teach-ers, administration, coun-selors and coaches. He sup-ports our schools 100 per-cent and can be counted on to make every decision in the best interest of our chil-

dren and grandchildren. I support Scott without

reservation and urge you to vote for him. Our schools will benefit from Scott Henden’s leadership.

Ed McAvoyKingston

Supports Elliott for Kingston port

I support Walt Elliott for port commissioner.

Kingston’s waterfront needs careful manage-ment. It is both the core of our downtown and drives the ecology of Apple Tree Cove.

I personally worked for Walt Elliott when he man-aged a $600 million-per-year business facility. We had to manage overhead, compete for business, have competitive labor rates and still make payroll. We had to worry about customer sat-isfaction and actively seek the “voice of the customer.” Financially, we projected costs and revenue pro-for-ma monthly, made accurate projections and managed to those projections or read-justed them if they were wrong.

He listens to his people and looks out for them while keeping the best interests of the organization in mind.

He has also been a proj-ect manager for a number of large projects which required risk management, quality management, team development, project-track-ing methodology, manufac-turing management, con-tracting, contractor finance, operations analysis, and

strategic business planning.Walt has a unique combi-

nation of business and man-agement skills that will help the economic development of our community.

I support Walt Elliott not only because he has the skills to critically evaluate, manage and lead through complex and difficult situa-tions at the Port of Kingston and for our community, but also because he has the creativity and vision to identify and solve problems as they unfold. It is time to bring career diversity and new skills to the Port Commission.

Stephen HymanKingston

■ ■ ■

Walt Elliott would make a fine commissioner for the Port of Kingston and I fully support his candidacy.

Walt gives freely of his time, energy, and creativ-ity to civic concerns. He is familiar with intergovern-mental relationships which are so important in accom-plishing anything which involves overlapping juris-dictions.

He and his wife, Bobbie Moore, have poured them-selves into the betterment of our village. Since Kingston is unincorporated, the Port Commission has an even larger role in some ways than an area that has a town council. As we elect commissioners, we need to keep that wider influence in mind.

Walt Elliott fits the bill

completely with his experi-ence overseeing a Navy base and its attached community in the Bahamas.

Walt is pro-Kingston in every way and a wise choice for commissioner.

Rex Lee CarlawKingston

Supports Kirschner for Kingston port

Residents of Kingston are lucky to have two qualified candidates willing to serve the community as port commissioner. Dan and I have made our decision to support Jerry Kirschner in the upcoming election.

We welcomed Jerry and his wife, Nancy Langwith, when they first moved to Kingston. They immedi-ately got involved with local groups and volunteered their time. It was refreshing to see new faces joining the ranks of long-time Kingston volunteers.

Jerry, chairman of the Passenger-Only Ferry Advisory Committee, spent a great portion of his time working with a commit-tee of volunteers, to bring together a cohesive operat-ing plan for the passenger-only ferry. Jerry utilized the strengths of each of the advi-sory committee members to craft a plan that works for Kingston.

One of Jerry’s greatest skills is his ability to build consensus from a very diverse group. The resulting passenger-only ferry plan

is certainly evidence of his ability to get people to work together toward a common goal.

Jerry gave countless hours of his time making presenta-tions on the passenger-only ferry plan to the key groups around Kingston: Kingston Citizens Advisory Council, Kingston Stakeholders, Rotary, Kiwanis, and special meetings scheduled by the Port of Kingston. The group continues to meet under Jerry’s leadership, evaluat-ing their progress and mak-ing adjustments to the plan.

As with all ports, the Port of Kingston is charged with the economic development of our community. Jerry’s work with Eli Lilly, a global Fortune 100 pharmaceutical company, has given him the experience to help formu-late and implement a plan that will benefit not only the Port of Kingston, but also the entire community.

We support Jerry’s plat-form of attracting incuba-tor businesses to our town, forming a corps of retired executives to coach small businesses, and using the SoundRunner to increase tourism in Kingston and the north end communities. We like his vision of a rolling five-year plan for the Port of Kingston and citizen advi-sory committees to facilitate input from the community.

We feel he is the best choice for port commis-sioner.

BILLINGS, Mont. — Before joining the Rocky Mountain College eques-trian team during the 2010-11 school year, Lydia Harvey never competed in an equestrian show.

Now in her second year with the team, Harvey, 20, is preparing for the next competition, a competition

which could advance her to Regionals.

During the first competi-tion of the season on Oct. 8-9 in Twin Falls, Idaho, Harvey placed third and sixth in the Intermediate Walk Trot Canter. The competition is part of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association.

Harvey is now two points from going to the Regional competition, which will be held at Rocky Mountain College.

“I think things are going a lot better (this season),” Harvey said. “I’m more experienced — knowing what the judges are look-

ing for and knowing what I need to do in the arena.”

Harvey, a sophomore at Rocky Mountain College (RMC) and 2010 graduate of West Sound Academy in Poulsbo, and the rest of the team from RMC will compete again Nov. 4-5 in the next IHSA show at the University of Montana. Three riders from RMC qualified during the latest competition — Erin Burns, Shauna Ketcham and Rachel Phillips. Points dur-ing the shows accumulate, so advancing to Regionals should not prove difficult, Harvey said.

POULSBO — The North Kitsap homecoming foot-ball game ended with an interception and the first

loss in league play for the Vikings.

The final score of the game Oct. 7 night against

the Olympic High School Trojans was 34-28 in over-time.

Taking first possession of the ball in OT, the Trojans beat back the Viking defense for a touchdown. The point-after kick; however, was no good.

With a missed kick, some of the pressure was off the Vikings; needing to make a touchdown and point after

POULSBO — Organizing the Poulsbo Marathon is like organizing a big party.

Race director Michelle Woodward said the event

was on her mind since last year.

With two new races and the full- and half- marathon now USA Track & Field cer-tified and the course now a Boston Marathon qualifier,

Woodward said the event is ready.

“I think everything is in place and it’s ready to roll,” she said.

The event is Sunday. The marathons begin at 7:30

a.m. on Caldart Avenue in front of North Kitsap High School and end on the track in front of the stadium.

Two marathons, a Lutefisk 3K and a 3K youth run are scheduled. The full mara-

thon is 26.2 miles, the half is 13.1.

So far, the Poulsbo Marathon has drawn 350 registered runners. Last year

Marathon exceeds 2010’s total runnersThe second Poulsbo Marathon on Sunday is now a Boston Marathon qualifier See MARATHON, Page A8

The North Kitsap Vikings challenged the Olympic Trojans Oct. 7 at home for homecom-ing. Vikings running back Dan Mitchell makes a run for a first down during first quarter action.

touchdown for the win. Vikings kicker Kyler Gracey missed a single field goal attempt during the game and was 4-4 in the point-after kicks.

Gracey would not get his chance to add the final point.

A Trojan interception

during the Vikings, last series from the 20 yard line would end it for the team.

“It was a hell of a game,” Trojan head coach Tim Allbee said. “Both sides: warriors.

“Kids just never gave up on either side — cramping up, throwing up. They had a heck of a game … They’ll remember this for the rest of their lives.”

NK’s Aban qualifies for 8 State swims

BREMERTON — North Kitsap’s Bethany Aban is now an Ironman.

On Oct. 6 during the swim meet against Olympic High School, Aban quali-fied for State in the last two events she needed — free-

styles.An Ironman is a high

school swimmer qualifying for the eight individual State events — 200 IM, 50 Free, 100 Fly, 100 Free, 500 Free, 200 Free, 100 Backstroke, 100 Breaststroke.

North Kitsap senior Bethany Aban qualified for all eight indi-vidual State swim events for the 2011 season. File photo

a total of 330 participated. The event benefits the

North Kitsap Trails Association after the cost of hosting the event is paid off. Trails Association President John Willett said the event in 2010 raised about $7,000. The money was used to maintain trails between Indianola, Kingston and the North Kitsap Hertiage Park. Funds from the event also went toward brochures and other expenses.

The Trails Association, a non-profit, recently pro-posed the “String of Pearls” to Kitsap County. Many of the trails around North

Kitsap, which the asso-ciation works on, would become part of the trail network if the proposal is accepted.

“It’s all community effort,” Willett said.

Along with drawing more runners this year, the full- and half- marathons are now USATF certified.

C e r t i f i c a t i o n is completed by creating accurate m e a s u r e m e n t s of the courses. In order to measure

the courses, Woodward used a Jones Counter on her bicycle. The measurements must be within .08 percent of the actual distance of the course. For those run-ners who keep track of their times and try to beat per-sonal records, knowing the

course is accurate is “a big deal,” Woodward said.

“It’s a pretty curvy course … I did a lot of riding on my bike,” Woodward said. “It makes (the marathon) a little more authentic.”

A rider needs a total of 36 points in order to advance. The better a rider does, the more points earned. For example, first place earns seven points, second place earns five points.

Equestrian team cap-tain Meredith Burton said Harvey needs to place fifth or higher in the next show to make it to Regionals. Burton said Harvey is a quiet, focused rider.

“She’s still trying to find her rhythm,” Burton said. “But she’s really dedicated.”

Once to the Regional level, riders have the oppor-tunity to advance to the semi-National and National levels. Burton said riders representing the RMC team have gone to Nationals the past few years. During the summer, two girls were at Nationals.

Though she is confident in making it to Regionals, Harvey said making to semi-Nationals might be a stretch. The National level, she said, is most likely out of reach still.

Shows can be stress-ful, but Harvey said she’s learned to relax more, which, in turn, helps her

performance. During the Oct. 8-9 competition, she said her second ride was a poor performance, because she was too tense. With a few adjustments, things changed.

“I came back thinking, I’m just going to have fun,” Harvey said. “And that’s all you need to do … I ended up placing third.”

Harvey grew up riding on Bainbridge Island at her aunts house. She took les-sons at Sandamar Farm in Poulsbo, until she had to choose between lessons and owning her own horse. She began as an English rider

— a form of horse riding — and began with show jump-ing.

Harvey said she spends more than six hours per week riding. She is at the barn at 5:30 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday in order to complete chores in the barn. Riding classes begin at 7 a.m.

When looking for a col-lege, Harvey wanted to make sure wherever she went, she could ride horses. Rocky Mountain College worked for her, as eques-trian degrees are available.

their child was a boy or girl. Her response would be to hold the newborn up to them and say, with a smile, “Take a look.”

She’s climbed Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens and Mount Constance. She rode a camel in Egypt when she was in her 80s.

Accompanying a troop of Rainbow Girls to Alaska, she was “the life of the party” on the cruise ship, her granddaughter, Nancy Pugh of Port Orchard, said. “She got everybody playing games. She didn’t believe in girls sitting around doing nothing.”

In short, Otis is one cool character. She’s also turning 110 on Oct. 22. She’s the oldest Washingtonian and is possibly the 60th-oldest American (a Wikipedia list by the Gerontology Research Group lists Beulah Christie, born Aug. 25, 1901, at No. 59).

She’s also the oldest liv-ing member of the Girl Scouts of America.

She lives life today with the same gumption that drove her to climb moun-tains, visit every state in the union and travel to numer-ous countries overseas. She has her own apartment at Liberty Shores Harbor

House, takes no medica-tion, and doesn’t use a walker or cane. Kay Pursey, Liberty Shores marketing director, describes Otis as “good and feisty.” She participates in an exercise group and likes to social-ize. She can’t hear well, and keeps a dry-erase board so visitors can write their questions.

Asked for the secret to her health and longevity, she responds with a laugh, “Because I’m a Swede.” (Her active life, healthy diet and genes certainly played a part. Her mother and an aunt lived to almost 90.)

Her 110th birthday will be celebrated with a party at Liberty Shores on Oct. 20, 4 p.m. There will be cake and live music. Otis will receive her 80-year pin from the Girl Scouts. She’s also received a signed letter from President Obama.

She was born Emma Gustava Erikson on Oct. 22, 1901 in Lawson, a coal mining town near Black Diamond. Her father, John Erikson (1862-1920), emi-grated from Fjellbacka, Sweden to the U.S. in 1890 and was naturalized in Pennsylvania. He made his way to Washington state by 1894, where he worked as a coal miner and eventually became superintendent of mines at Cumberland.

Her mother, the former

Emma Thoren (1875-1964), emigrated from Fjellbacka, Sweden in 1893 on the steamship “Cameo” bound for New Holland. She landed in Canada, went down the St. Lawrence River and entered the U.S. at Detroit. She came to America to keep house for her brother, Ole (Olaf), who was a coal miner. She met John Erikson, and they married in May 1894.

The day Emma Gustava Erikson was born, peo-ple were reading John Burroughs’ “Babes in the Woods,” a short story about bluebirds, in the lat-est Harper’s Magazine. Or they read W.M. Flinders’ account of the recent dis-covery of the royal tombs at Abydos, Egypt. Those articles seemed to herald the birth of the future bird-ing advocate and Egyptian-camel rider.

It was a historic time. The nation was still reeling from the assassination of President McKinley Sept. 14. Topics of local conver-sation likely included the arson fire that destroyed much of Monroe on Sept. 18, and the incorporation of the city of Bremerton on Oct. 1. On the national front, President Theodore Roosevelt invited African American leader Booker T. Washington to the White House on Oct. 16; the

South reacted angrily to the visit and racial violence increased in that region.

Growing up in Gig Harbor, Otis’s sense of adventure were spurred by the water and a pan-oramic view of the Cascade Mountains, Point Defiance and Mount Rainier. She attended Gig Harbor schools, was a fast runner at school, delivered news-papers from age 12 to 14, and went to nursing school at 16 at Tacoma General Hospital.

“Gig Harbor was a coun-try place,” she said. “Many homes on my paper route were up on a hill and the customers would come out to the road to meet me.”

While a nurse at Tacoma General, she met firefighter Robin “Bob” Otis. He pro-posed to her at Wright’s Park, a six-minute walk from the hospital, and they married in 1921.

They raised their two daughters and son in the Tacoma area and were active in community life: the Methodist Church, Masonic Lodge, Eastern Star and Daughters of America. They traveled extensively, and Mrs. Otis collected commemorative plates from every state in the union. Later, she would send her granddaughters maps so they could track her travels.

Mrs. Otis became involved in Girl Scouts after her oldest daughter, Shirley, joined. It was a natural fit. She planned activities and accompanied the Scouts on excursions to Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens and Mount Constance. Her granddaughters, Nancy Pugh and Carol Vaughn, remember hikes with her being an educational expe-rience: She would point out and explain details along the way — animals, fungi, plants and trees.

Otis said new Scouts only saw the mountain in front of them, but she wanted to open their eyes to all of the life that the mountain sustained. During the exploration, “I got the young people to really enjoy the mountain.” (She said the eruption of Mount St. Helens stands out as a significant histori-cal event in her life.)

She helped establish Camp St. Albans in Belfair — more than 400 acres of woods surrounding peaceful Lake Devereaux. For up to 11 days, Girl Scouts enjoyed backpack-ing, campfires, cookouts, horseback riding, and water sports.

Otis, a lifelong bird lover, lobbied for the selec-tion of the goldfinch as Washington’s state bird. Legislators made the selec-

tion in 1951.Bob Otis died in 1961,

and over the next three decades Mrs. Otis contin-ued her involvement and travels with Girl Scouts and Rainbow Girls. She loved to bake; her granddaughters said her cinnamon rolls were famous.

Guests at her 100th birthday included babies she brought into the world as a nurse 80 years earlier. She lived on her own until she was 105, tending to her garden and lawn until she was 100. “If something needed to be done, she’d just do it,” Pugh said. (In her 80s or 90s, she whacked a skunk over the head with a shovel when it got under her house.)

At 105, she visited Camp St. Albans to talk to girls about her experiences at the camp. Today, there are five generations of Girl Scouts in her family.

“To me, her love for nature and camping and being outdoors are prob-ably the most inspirational thing to me,” Pugh said. “She was always willing to help someone too. She’s a strong believer in good morals and doing the right thing.

“The memories are just … I could sit and here and talk for two hours just about the small things.”

POULSBO — A team of employees at Poulsbo-based Watson raised $1,215 for S e p t e m b e a r d’s inaugural fund-raising campaign.

Septembeard is an organization whose goal is to eradicate prostate cancer, the sec-ond-leading cause of death in men. S e p t e m b e a r d was founded ear-lier this year and allows donors to direct money to one of six nationwide medi-cal research and treatment organizations.

Paul Dunning, senior graphic designer at Watson, led the company’s charge.

Twenty-six Watson employees, including

Dunning, accepted the challenge to grow a beard between Sept. 1 and 30.

Nearly the whole team steered clear of their razors until the final day.

Team Watson ranked 23rd of the 271 teams that par-ticipated and their efforts yielded nearly a full 1 percent of the total national contri-butions.

To encourage his friends and family to

donate, Dunning offered to the top donor the right to determine how he would shave at the conclusion of the fundraiser. His own department donated $220, securing the right to design his trim which he sported for one full workday, includ-

ing an early morning visit to the Silverdale YMCA.

“The participation from throughout our company was great,” Dunning said. “I think the fact that we had guys from all ranks sent a great message. Everyone from our senior executive level to interns who had only been with us a week jumped on board and grew

a beard and/or gathered donations for the cause ... To see our team’s donation total over $1,000 and the national total over $100,000 is unbelievable.”

Dunning plans to form a team again next year. “We should never be afraid to help a cause just because we can’t foresee how much dif-ference we'll make.”

Martina Ellen Armstrong, passed away

Friday, October 7, 2011 at her home

in Suquamish, Washington at the age

of 57.

Martina was born on July 8, 1954

in Bremerton, WA. Affectionately

known as “Momma Tina” to many,

her presence will be missed by

several generations of children she

loved, nurtured and cared for. Martina was known for her

grace, style and love of all things purple. Whether on Canoe

Journey in summer months or at community gatherings in

winter, she could always be found cooking with her famous

LOS ANGELES — All the paperwork for financial aid was signed as Paulyna Garcia Aceves prepared to begin school at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising for the 2011-12 school year.

The two-year program Garcia planned to enter cost about $30,000 per year.

As it turns out, Garcia Aceves, 19, is now paying for one year at the school, instead of two.

Garcia Aceves, a 2011 Kingston High School graduate, won a full-year

scholarship to the school for her fashion merchan-dising entry to the Prom Advice Scholarship Competition, held by the school. The annual competi-tion, open to high school juniors and seniors, asks for a prom-related proj-ect focusing on fashion design or merchandising.

“I already had financial aid for FIDM,” she said. “After I found out I won, I cancelled it all. It was really great. Now I don’t owe anything.”

Entering the scholar-ship contest was not exactly planned.

Garcia Aceves said she found out about the contest four days before the deadline. She debated whether she wanted to par-ticipate. In all, she spent three days on her project while also finishing her AP Studio Art port-folio for the KHS

Arts Department. For the scholarship con-

test, Garcia Aceves designed a prom boutique, window

display and promotional plans. The contest require-ments were similar to appli-cation requirements to the school, in which she built a window display and created a 3-D model.

Though she was always interested in fashion and art in general, Garcia Aceves said James Andrews, KHS’s Art Department head, helped re-spark her inter-est.

Along with her work in the art department, she was business editor and, later, co-editor-in-chief of Kingston High School’s yearbook, “The Voyage.” In August,

the yearbook and its staff won a gold medal from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association at Columbia University in New York. Garcia said yearbook helped her become more proficient in computer programs such as InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.

Lisa Gray-Fritz, Kingston’s yearbook adviser and histo-ry/social studies instructor, first had Garcia Aceves as a student in eighth grade.

On “The Voyage,” Garcia Aceves worked alongside co-editor Angela Galloway and business editor Stephanie Fyfe, and Gray-Fritz said

the three brought the year-book to “a whole new level.”

“Her sense of style and interest in fashion were apparent from the begin-ning,” Gray-Fritz said..

Garcia Aceves is now in her second week at FIDM. She’s taking general studies, which has not been diffi-cult for her. However, she expects her workload to pickup shortly.

Eventually, she wants to work at a magazine such as Vogue or Nylon magazine. She would like to work on layout design, visual imag-ing and as a creative direc-tor, she said.

Coultas endorses Elliott for Port Commission

KINGSTON — Kingston Port Commissioner Tom Coultas has endorsed Walt Elliott for his position in the Nov. 8 general election.

Coultas finished third in the Aug. 16 primary. He was first elected to the commis-sion in 1989 and stepped down in 1992. He ran again

in 1999, topping three other candidates. He was reelect-ed in 2005.

Elliott, a retired Navy captain who is chairman of the Kingston Ferry Advisory Committee and the Washington Council of Ferry Advisory Committees, faces Jerry Kirschner, chair-man of the Passenger-Only Ferry Advisory Committee, in the general election.

“(Elliott) has the business and public administration

skills that are essential to successful Port operations and will be a responsible steward of our public resources,” Coultas wrote in a letter to the Herald.

“Ports are unique in that they must be both a busi-ness and public enterprise. Walt has done both success-fully. He started up a suc-cessful business and ran a public enterprise that func-tions in the same way as the Port does. Through his dedicated community lead-ership he has a firm under-standing of our community

values and can be counted on to keep your priorities foremost in Port decisions.

“Walt has a rare combina-tion of skills and experience that are critical for a success-ful Port. I think Kingston is fortunate he’s running, and I recommend that he receive your vote.”

District educators endorse Torrens for school board

POULSBO — The North Kitsap Education Association has endorsed Val Torrens for reelection to the North Kitsap School Board.

Torrens is being chal-lenged by Scott Henden in the Nov. 8 election.

In a statement issued Thursday, the association said Torrens has a “proven record of dedication to the success and needs of all stu-dents,” and worked to keep the impacts of budget cuts away from students.

The association said Torrens is a “thoughtful and

deliberate decision maker,” and “an unrelenting advo-cate for our kids.”

“(She) does the research, gathers the data, consults the experts and delves deeply into issues before rendering her opinion. Val Torrens has a superior depth of understanding of the issues that affect North Kitsap schools. She believes in collaborative, shared decision making, consider-ing the perspectives of all stakeholders.”

POULSBO — The final stage of the Fjord Drive sta-bilization project has begun and is expected to be com-pleted on schedule.

Assistant Public Works Director Andrzej Kasiniak said the road should be open for two-way traffic in November.

The slope leading into Liberty Bay has been lev-eled and surveyed, and con-tractor Soil Nail Launcher of Colorado is beginning a heavy schedule to finish

the project. Crews will work seven days on, four days off, 12 hours a day and are expected to be finished in two to four weeks, according to employee Tom Dillavou.

Using soil nails is a com-mon form of slope stabili-zation, Dillavou said. The project involves 200 steel tendons drilled and grout-ed into the soil, followed by a reinforcing mesh, and topped with a spray coat-ing of “shotcrete,” a liquid concrete. A color stain may then be applied to match the natural surroundings. Below the slope is a leveled

off, flat area where micro-piles, or ground anchors, will also be drilled.

Kasiniak said the contrac-tor installed the silt fence at the bottom of the slope to ensure debris doesn’t enter the bay.

“The city inspects the site several times a day to ensure that the project will not affect Liberty Bay,” he added.

The slope stabilization project also affected local utilities: a “brittle” water main was replaced, and a Puget Sound Energy utility pole was moved from the slope side to across the street.

The project originally called for two sections of the slope to be stabilized, sepa-rated by 28 feet thought to be secure. However, work-ers discovered this week the

entire 350-foot stretch was at risk of erosion. Kasiniak said an earthquake would compromise the road and allow sewage to leak into the bay.

“This is the highway proj-ect that keeps on giving,” Mayor Becky Erickson said at the Oct. 5 City Council meeting. “... We don’t have any real choice in this devel-opment” not to approve the additional cost.

The city was granted $475,000 from the Federal Highway Administration to repair landslide damage on Fjord Drive; and $276,337 from the state Department of Ecology for the Old Town Poulsbo Low Impact Development Retrofit proj-ect, aimed to improve water quality in Liberty Bay.

The total cost for the 6th Avenue project is $379,900; the Fjord Drive budget is $814,000, with the addi-tional $102,000 the council approved. Kasiniak said this number is not final, as the contractor may use less nails than originally called for.

The city contributed $103,563 for the 6th Avenue project and $160,000 from its utility fund for the rest of the Fjord Drive repair cost.

Because the City Council decided Fjord would remain a two-way street earlier this year, no trail or landscaping will be added to the road. Landscaping was added to 6th Avenue to stem storm-water runoff into Liberty Bay.

Fjord Drive resident Will Grant said the noise of the construction hasn’t been

that bad, and less traffic has been great for road safety.

“People usually zip by,” he said from his front porch.

Those drivers seem to still be speeding along 6th Avenue, the detour road. Allen Ford, who lives on 6th, said while he hasn’t been directly affected by the heavi-er traffic, “something needs to be done” about those driv-ing over 25 mph after Fjord Drive is completed.

Fjord Drive between Front Street and 6th Avenue has been closed to northbound traffic since November 2009 because of slides in two areas. One-way access remained available for peo-ple living along the road, but right turns from Front Street onto Fjord Drive have not been permitted since then.

Impact fees are designed to cover the cost of increased demand for services result-ing from new development. The city’s population is expected to grow from 9,200 in 2010 to 14,808 in 2025, according to documents in the city parks department.

Previously, the city col-lected traffic and park impact fees under the State Environmental Policy Act, or SEPA. The council adjusted the ordinances to reflect the move to Growth Management Act standards. The city set benchmarks for 2025 to account for popu-lation increases which will require an additional 37.18

acres of parks (bringing the total to 80.75 acres in the city park system), and necessitating more than 30 roadway, intersection and frontage improvements.

Park impact fees will increase from $500 to $1,195, and transportation impact fees will decrease from costly individual esti-mates to $283.50 for each daily vehicle trip generated by the development.

The city is splitting the cost of impact fees for parks and traffic with develop-ers. Additional park space by 2025 is estimated to cost $5.55 million. The city finances its share with taxes and user fees, which will not increase, as well as the department’s funding and grants, according to Parks

and Recreation Director Mary McCluskey. However, with the budget stretched thin already, “it’s going to take some creative financ-ing,” she added.

Residential developers will be charged $1,195 per residential unit. The city projects 2,092 new housing units will be needed by 2025 to accommodate the esti-mated growth in population. The council will review the fee after two years to adjust for changing land values.

Future commercial devel-opment is expected to result in $20.2 million in transpor-tation improvements. The city will finance its share of $10 million with grants, the engineering fund and prop-erty taxes.

Commercial developers

previously were charged $5,000 to cover the cost of city staff to estimate what the project’s traffic impact would be, and then charged an average impact fee of $296 per daily trip, or $2,950 per single-family unit. The city calculates an “average daily trip” to be the number of vehicles entering or leav-ing a site during a 24-hour weekday period.

Andrzej Kasiniak, assis-tant director of public works, said the change to change to $283.50 daily vehicle trip benefits developers and city staff. By averaging the daily trip for all developers, it costs the city less to run the estimate and as well as the developer. Public Works is also able to use the collected impact fees on any project

in a more flexible manner.“We’ll be able to respond

to additional improvements in a much more timely man-ner,” he said.

Developers will no longer be required to finance the fees up front, instead paying the fees over time or passing the cost of the fees onto the purchasers of the developed property.

Molly Lee lives on Cedar Lane, outside the city limits between Viking Way and Highway 3. She testified before the council against setting money aside for a proposed road and traffic signal in an area not within the city limits.

“Why micromanage money for that spot when there’s the possibility the majority of people [in the

area] might not want to be incorporated into the city,” she said. “Why not use the money in [already incorpo-rated] areas?”

Lee said she does not want her property annexed into the city.

Jan Wold, who also lives just outside the city limits, said the city was including school playgrounds and tidelands within parks that are “underwater most of the time” in its parks calcula-tion.

“They’re increasing [park impact fees], but they’re not collecting enough to cover the actual cost of the equiv-alent parks and recreation facilities that citizens pres-ently have,” Wold said.

Recognizing the importance of pets

BY ERIN JENNINGSKitsap Week

The struggling economy has caused more than lost jobs and

foreclosures. It's also caused heartache for pets and their families.

“In the three years since the downturn of the econo-my, pet shelters nationwide have been besieged by pet surrenders, which were done purely for fi nancial reasons,” said Mark Huf-ford, executive director of PAWS of Bainbridge and North Kitsap.

But before we go any further, let's clear up the name confusion. Th e PAWS in this article is an indepen-dent organization. It’s not affi liated with any of the 40 organizations nationwide that use the name PAWS.

So what does the local PAWS do?

“We are more than just the cat adoption center on Miller Road [on Bainbridge Island]. Th at’s only about one-sixth of what we do,” program director Marylou Zimmerman said.

PET RETENTIONAn important mission of

PAWS is to help pet owners keep their furry friends. Th is is accomplished by providing low-income spay and neuter services, veterinary assistance, and stocking pet food at local food banks.

“We do what any caring neighbor would do if their neighbor came to them and said, ‘I lost my job and my dog needs surgery,’ ” PAWS executive director Mark Huff ord said. “We help low-income families and provide direct fi nancial assistance to care for pets of low-income neighbors.”

Locally, he estimates PAWS has helped more than 1,000 pets remain with their owners.

PAWS asks the question, “How can we help families keep their pets?” If a dog suff ers from an ear infec-tion and the owner can’t af-ford treatment, sometimes the owner believes the only option is to turn the dog over to a shelter in order for it to receive medical care. Th at is where PAWS steps in to help provide fi nancial

assistance. “I believe we’re the

only organization in all of Western Washington with a program of this type, and there’s no question it’s helped stem the tide of potential pet relinquish-ments,” Huff ord said. He estimates that since the stock market crash in 2008, PAWS has helped more than 1,000 pets remain with their owners.

Keeping the pet out of the shelter benefi ts the animal and its owners.

“If you are at a low-income level, everything is already stressful,” Zimmer-man said. “Being able to have a connection with a pet that is uncomplicated is great for the whole family.”

In the two years since PAWS began its pet food drive, Zimmerman esti-mates PAWS has helped to distribute 12 tons of food to local food banks.

“Th ey can’t keep it on the shelf,” she said.

PETS AND LOVING SENIORS (PALS)

Based on research show-ing that living with or inter-acting regularly with pets lowers rates of heart attack and heart disease, PAWS has teamed up with seniors in the community to con-nect then with other seniors — senior cats, that is.

Th rough this program, an older cat is placed in the home of a senior, and PAWS maintains ownership of the cat. (Th at way, if the foster parent needs to move to a diff erent location where animals aren’t allowed, the cat will be returned to PAWS.) PAWS also covers the cat’s expenses.

And because older cats are more diffi cult to adopt (most people prefer to adopt kittens or younger cats), this program helps get an older cat out of the shelter and into a home.

“As a senior, having a warm, loving body in your house may be your only daily connection with something else,” Zimmer-man said. “It’s a nice con-nection for the seniors, and it’s great for older pets.”

BUDDY BRIGADEAnother facet of PAWS is

its Buddy Brigade program. Aft er passing an eight-week training class and becoming certifi ed, dogs can spread joy and love in areas that don't oft en receive four-legged visitors. Participants visit nursing homes and senior centers, as well as

schools and libraries. It takes a special dog and

the training is rigorous — the instructor tests how well the dogs do with loud noises, medical equipment and shouting.

PET ADOPTIONSTh e PAWS adoption

facility on Bainbridge is strictly for cats, but it off ers a personal shopper service to help families fi nd the perfect dog.

Here’s how it works: an adoption specialist sits down with the interested party and asks a lot of ques-tions, such as “What are you looking for in a dog?” “What is your family like?” By asking questions, the adoption specialist can help narrow down the types of dog that would be the best fi t for the family.

Th en the specialist begins to scour websites looking for the right dog. Special-ists are familiar with how to decipher listings on the Internet — think doggie personals. “Would do best living in a house without felines” may mean the dog enjoys chasing cats.

Th e goal is to help fi nd the right match for the dog and the new family. Taking the time up front to fi gure out what type of dog would best suit the family helps to prevent the dog from being returned. If, say, the

Among the many services PAWS offers is veterinary assis-tance help for low-income pet owners. Courtesy photo

DONATIONSLike most non-profi ts,

PAWS relies on donations to help cover expenses. Requests for veterinary assistance have gone up 30 percent per year, for three years in a row.

In order to meet the continuing demand, Huf-ford said PAWS has a goal of raising $75,000 by Jan. 1. During the month of October, the fi rst $10,000 in online donations will be matched dollar for dollar by an anonymous donor. (Donors can donate via the PAWS website; see sidebar for details.)

Huff ord is constantly amazed with the generosity of the community — down to its youngest members. “We’ve had kids (operate) lemonade stands for PAWS,

or some ask for donations to PAWS instead of birth-day gift s,” Huff ord said. “When that happens, it just about knocks you over with a feather.”

And while there has always been a percent-

age of the population that struggles fi nancially, Zim-merman said the group has grown larger.

“We get assistance requests from people that used to be our donors,” she said.

at Fairgrounds.”This year, Lester and Otis are having a family reunion! It has been 23 years since the family

disappeared, and the murders are still unsolved. It has been rumored that Otis and Lester are

cannibals; that Lester finds potential victims through his work at the carnival. Otis is the one

who captures and butchers the selected few. The sheriff is looking for volunteers to go to the

abandoned barn where the McBane family was first found. He thinks that evidence may be found

and believes that the only way to do this is to rely on strength in numbers, feeling that Otis and

Lester wouldn’t dare take on hundreds of people at once. There are not very many brave enough

to volunteer to go…are you?

Age-old traditions continue to delight

Chinese acrobats will entertain in BremertonBY: ERIN JENNINGSKitsap Week

The Chinese acro-batic traditions that have been around for more

than 2,000 years will take to the stage in Bremerton on Sunday.

“Th e Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats will perform death-defying and gravity-defying acts,” said Cynthia

Dike-Hughes, spokesperson for the troupe.

Th e troupe consists of 13 young people, all from China and all professional acrobats.

Chinese students gradu-ate from high school at the age of 16 and then either go on to college or begin a career.

Aspiring acrobats begin training at the age of 6 or 7 and attend specialty schools. In the morning, they are taught the three R's; in the aft ernoon, they perfect their acrobatic craft . By the age of 16, they are considered professionals and begin their careers.

“It’s quite prestigious to be an acrobat in China,”

Dikes-Hughes said. “Many acrobatic families pass down the tradition.”

Unlike modern jugglers who may use bowling balls and glow sticks in their acts, the acrobatic tradition is all about utilizing what people have on hand. Jug-glers perform with chairs, pots, tables and vases.

And while Dike-Hughes will not give away all the surprises in the show, she did point out some highlights: such as the two strong men who balance off each other and contortion-ists who bend their bodies in ways you didn't know were possible. And then there is the bicycle pagoda. Unlike a typical Schwinn, this bicycle holds not one rider but 13.

Th e Shangri-La Acrobats have performed for 32 years across the country. Dike-Hughes said it's a very family-friendly show and entertains all ages from young children up to grandparents. From acts using diabolos (a type of Chinese yo-yo) to spinning plates to fl ipping through hoops, there is something to keep everyone enter-tained.

“Not only is it a chance to have fun with your family, but it's also a slice of Chi-nese culture,” Dike-Hughes

said. “It's something dif-ferent. It's not just another movie or video game, but it's something special.”

The Shangri-La Acrobats perform in Bremerton Oct. 16. Acrobats flip and balance, and con-tortionists bend their bodies in ways that seem humanly impossible. Right, keeping with the tradition of using everyday props, an acrobat balances on a stack of chairs.

2011 Washington Better Newspapers Contest

Congratulations, Erin!

Kitsap Week’s writer is one of the best in the state

Dear Erin,How do you handle a

situation when you forget the name of a person that you have casually known for years?

Stammering in Seabeck

Dear Stammering,Th e older I get, the more

this happens to me. Just last week I ran into an acquain-tance that I've known for 10 years. I remembered lots of details: her children's names, her hometown and even her dog. But for the life of me, I couldn't recall her name at that exact mo-ment.

When this happens — and it happens to the best of us, I suggest being overly polite and honest.

“I am so sorry, but I’m having a brain freeze. Can

you please remind me of your name again?” Th en go on to point out that you do indeed remember the per-son, such as, “I know our children were in third grade together,” or “I met you at the Robinsons’ party.”

Th at way, the person

knows you haven’t forgot-ten them, just that you temporarily can’t recall their name.

If anyone has sugges-tions on what to do when a person persistently forgets that you've met before, send me your ideas. Th ere is one person whom I have met probably eight times and each time she acts as if she's meeting me for the fi rst time.

I am running out of politeness with her. And no, she doesn't suff er from prosopagnosia – a disorder

of face perception. She remembers other people, just not me.

ASK ERINBy ERIN JENNINGS

— Ask Erin is a feature of Kitsap Week. Have a question? Email [email protected].

Keep your family safe by properly disposing unwant-ed drugs.

On Oct. 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Sheriff ’s Of-fi ce in the Kitsap Mall (near the Food Court), people can drop off their unwanted medicine.

As opposed to fl ushing unwanted medicine down the drain, this is a prefer-able way of disposing of medicine. (Th rowing medi-cine away in the garbage or down the drain can pollute the environment and water supply.)

At a similar event in April, 185 Kitsap people brought in 400 pounds of medicine.

GUIDELINES:■ Prescription and over

the counter substances will be collected.

■ Law enforcement will not make an eff ort to iden-tify participants.

■ All solid and non-injectable liquids will be ac-cepted, for example, cough syrup.

■ Insulin is not accepted. ■ Syringes and other

medical waste will not be accepted.

■ Illicit substances such as marijuana or meth will not be accepted.

■ All drugs must be in a container or bag.

■ Drugs cannot be loosely mixed in containers or bags.

Safely dispose of your medicine

Safe medicine disposal helps to reduce drug abuse and accidental poisoning.

Author, coach shares insights at ShareNet benefi tKINGSTON — Leader-

ship and coaching expert John C. Maxwell has writ-ten more than 60 books, primarily focusing on leadership. His books have sold more than 19 mil-lion copies, with some on the New York Times Best Seller List and translations in more than 50 languages. He’s one of 25 authors and artists named to Amazon.com's 10th anniversary Hall of Fame.

Every year, Maxwell con-ducts seminars for Fortune 500 companies, interna-tional government leaders, and organizations as diverse as the U.S. Military Acad-emy at West Point and the National Football League.

And now he’s com-ing to Kitsap County to share his insights, with all registration fees donated to ShareNet Food Bank in Kingston thanks to event sponsors Parker Financial LLC; Sherrard, McGonagle & Tizzano, Attorneys at Law; Haven in Allyn, Long Term Care; and www.next-doorhs.com.

Th e event, “Th e Five Levels of Leadership featur-

ing Dr. John C. Maxwell,” is Nov. 1 at the Kitsap Convention Center Harbor-side, next to the Bremerton ferry. It’s a major fundraiser for ShareNet, which has launched its Neighbor Aid 2011 campaign. Last year’s Neighbor Aid campaign covered almost half of ShareNet’s annual budget and enabled it to meet 8,500 needs – food, keeping elec-tricity on when faced with a shutoff notice, paying rent when faced with eviction, and providing take-home food for the weekend for school children.

Th at number is according to ShareNet director Mark Ince, who is one of four part-time employees. Ince said ShareNet’s annual bud-get is about $150,000. Food bank hours are Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5-7 p.m.; and Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

ShareNet is one of eight registered food banks in Kitsap County. Its defi ned service area is Kingston, Eglon, Hansville, Indianola, Port Gamble, and parts of Poulsbo and Suquamish.

Barbara Brumagin, min-

istry coordinator at Bayside Church, said Maxwell will provide leaders of busi-nesses and other organiza-tions, as well as their staff s and team members, with key leadership principles they can apply to all facets of their lives.

She said the informa-tion will help participants increase their ability to infl uence and motivate oth-ers, relate to people in more productive ways, improve the outcome and value of their eff orts, and learn steps to make a diff erence in their lives and the lives of those

around them.For $39, participants

can attend two one-hour lectures, “Th e Five Levels of Leadership,” the title of his just-released book. For $149, participants can attend a plated luncheon, receive an autographed

copy of his new book, “Th e Five Levels of Leadership,” meet and be photographed with Maxwell, and attend all three one-hour lectures, 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

To register for “Th e Five Levels of Leadership,” visit www.sharenetfoodbank.org or call Brumagin at

297-2000, ext. 11, or email offi [email protected].

Maxwell’s blog can be read at JohnMaxwellOn-Leadership.com and he can be followed at Twitter.com/JohnCMaxwell. On his website, www.johnmaxwell-team.com, you can receive 60-second leadership train-ing videos emailed daily for free.

More on Maxwell: Th ree of his books sold one million copies each: “Th e 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership,” “Developing the Leader Within You,” and “Th e 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader.”

For more than 30 years, Maxwell has led churches in Indiana, Ohio, Cali-fornia, and Florida. Aft er serving as senior pastor for 14 years, in 1995 he left Skyline Church, near San Diego, to devote himself full-time to speaking and writing. However, in 2004, he returned to congrega-tional ministry at Christ Fellowship in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., where he is currently a teaching pastor. On Nov. 16, 2008, he began serving as a guest pastor

at the famous Crystal Ca-thedral in Orange County, Calif. His messages are broadcast worldwide on the Hour of Power television program, seen by an esti-mated 20 million viewers.

Maxwell serves on the Board of Trustees at Indi-ana Wesleyan University and has a building named aft er him there, the Max-well Center for Business and Leadership.

Best-selling author and coach John C. Maxwell speaks at a benefit for ShareNet on Nov. 1.
