SILENT NO MORE:Speaking out about sexual assault in the militaryIN VETERANS LIFE

As 2015 begins and 2014 becomes history, the Central Kitsap Reporter and the Bremerton Patriot news-papers are taking a look back at the top headlines of 2014. The Edito-rial Advisory Board of both papers helped the news staff to make choices about the news that rose to the top in 2014. Summaries of those stories below came from previously pub-lished stories in both papers.

The top stories of 2014 are:

• The Jenise Wright murder Gabriel Gaeta, a 17-year-old star high school wrestler, was charged with the rape and murder of six-year-old Jenise Wright in what was prob-ably the most heartbreaking news story of the year. The child had last been seen on Saturday, Aug. 2, in her Bremerton home, and was reported missing by her parents the following evening. FBI, Washington State Patrol, and local police teamed up to investigate the child’s disappearance, with Jen-ise’s parents being asked to undergo a lie detector test at one point during the investigation. Her body was found on Thursday, Aug. 7, in a wooded area near the family home. Gaeta, a neighbor of the Wright family in the Steele Creek Mobile Park in East Bremerton, was arrested and charged with murder and rape of a child two days later, after investigators found DNA evi-dence linking him to the crime. Gaeta is being tried as an adult and currently awaiting trail for aggravated first-degree murder and aggravated rape.

• “Red Tide” election of County Commissioner Ed Wolfe andProsecutor Tina Robinson The Nov. 4 general election result-ed in two real nail biters. The “Red Tide” that swept the nation may have flowed through Kitsap County’s pros-ecuting attorney and county com-mission races, but certainly not by a landslide. Republican Tina Robinson squeezed out a victory against Dem-ocrat incumbent Russ Hauge, who

Many times we write about people because they have some connection to a news story. But after the news passes, we seem to forget them. Today, we’re checking in with some of the newsmakers from the past year to see how they are coping with the losses or celebrating the successes of the incidents that got them in the news in the first place.

• Scott Bosch, former CEO Harri-son Medical Center Bosch, who was CEO at Harrison for a decade, retired last July. While at Harrison, Bosch oversaw the hospi-tal’s affiliation with Franciscan Health System, which came shortly before he decid-ed to retire. Since then, he’s been keeping busy “trying to stay physically active.” “ It s e e ms like you have to stop living when you’re working,” he said. “Now I’ve stopped working and started living.” He is focusing on his health — mind, body and spirit. He runs, swims and does yoga, each four times a week. He recently completed a tri-athlon. “When I was working, I always had an excuse not to exercise,” he said. “Now I don’t have that excuse.” Another of his adventures was to attend Burning Man in the middle of the desert in Nevada. “I promised my son that I’d do that with him after I retired,” he said. “It was a very harsh environment. It was an amazing life experience, but not a vacation by any means.” There, amidst sleep deprivation, he was able to have an intense bonding experience with his 32-year-old son, he said. Travel has also been on his mind. “My wife just retired from 37 years as a hospital pharmacist,” he said. “While she was working, I did the laundry and the cleaning. I also was the sous chef, helping her so that

was seeking his sixth term as Kitsap County prosecuting attorney. Republican Edward Wolfe also scored a narrow victory against his opponent Democrat Linda Streiss-guth for a commissioner seat in Dis-trict 3 on the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners.

• Location selected for newSilverdale Library In August, the board of the Kitsap Regional Library chose a Bucklin Hill Road location, referred to as the Clear Creek site due to its location paral-lel to the creek, among four possible locations for a new Silverdale Library. Other options included two coun-ty-owned locations on the Central Kitsap Community Campus, and an existing structure on Randall Way, behind the Silverdale YMCA. Following the August decision, the KRL board unanimously voted to purchase the property located at the corner of Bucklin Hill Road and Blaine Avenue at a meeting on Nov. 25.

The decision came after a request for a stay on the decision from Rob MacDermid, a long-time vocal advo-cate for the Central Kitsap Commu-nity Campus. According to MacDer-mid, the site Clear Creek selection ignored public sentiment. Library officials said it will cost over $6 million to acquire the pri-vately-owned 1.14 acre property and build and equip the proposed 10,000-square-foot library. Con-struction could begin as early as fall of 2016.

• Harrison Hospital affiliates with Franciscan; announces plans to consolidate hospitals in Silverdale; has tough contract negotiations with its healthcare workers Harrison Medical Center is under-going major changes after its merger with Tacoma-based Franciscan Health System last year. In November, Harrison’s Board of Directors finalized its decision to consolidate its hospitals in Silverdale and Bremerton. The two hospitals are

located seven miles from each other and offer many of the same services. Harrison officials predict the con-solidation will amount to at least $10 million to $15 million in savings per year. The new hospital will be located in Silverdale. The company asked for input from the community to deter-mine which outpatient services to continue offering in Bremerton and expects recommendations from the Bremerton community in the spring of 2015. Aside from deciding to consoli-date the two hospitals, Harrison has also been battling with insurance company, Regence, as well as its own employees. Harrison and Regence failed to reach an agreement regard-ing reimbursement costs, thereby terminating their contract on Aug. 22, transforming Harrison into an “out of network” provider. Regence customers are now being offered a discount by Harrison in hopes that

In response to requests from the public to pro-vide more consistent hours throughout Kitsap County departmental offices locat-ed on the Port Orchard campus, the Kitsap County Commissioners approved revised hours beginning Jan. 5.

The new hours of oper-ation will be implemented in the three main build-ings on the Port Orchard campus: the Kitsap County Administration Building, 619 Division St., the Courthouse, 614 Division St., and the Public Works building, 507 Austin Ave.

The new hours are as fol-lows:

Administration Building: 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Assessor’s Office: 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday.

Department of Community Development: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday.

Public Works Building: 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The courthouse hours remain the same, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The offices of the auditor, assessor, treasurer and com-missioners, as well as the departments of community development and administra-tive services, are housed in the Administration Building.

In addition to court ser-vices, the county’s informa-tion services and sheriff ’s office are located in the court-house.

The public works building is the location of some public works offices and the county’s human services and human resources departments.

The new hours more close-ly align with existing hours at the courthouse, county offi-cials said.

Hours were cut in 2009 due to economic reasons.

For 2015, commissioners approved a budget which allows the treasurer’s office to open all day on Fridays. County departments imple-mented process improve-ments and efficiencies includ-ing online services, electronic notifications and a consoli-dated call center, allowing the public access to many services 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Henry, a WWII Army veteran, served in Europe with the 334th Infantry Regiment, 84th Infantry

Division and was involved in several major battles including the Battle of the Bulge. He earned a Combat Infantryman Badge, Bronze Star Medal, European Theater Ribbon, Central Europe Campaign Ribbon w/ Bronze Service Star and a Purple Heart.

He competed in rodeos, riding bulls and bucking broncs, then became a cattle rancher and logger. He was a mechanic who could fix anything and operate heavy equipment of all kinds.

His wife, Margaret Avery Bruemmer, sisters Violet Fischer and Betty Waltenburg and brother Don Bruemmer all preceded him in death. He is survived by his children, Peggy Stutzke, Rodney Bruemmer, Perry Bruemmer and Henry Bruemmer IV, 12 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.

His sense of humor and amazing story-telling ability gathered friends daily for coffee at his home in Crosby. His family was very important to him and comforted him during his last days. He was generous, hard working, humorous and much loved by all who knew him. A Celebration of Life will be held 24 January 2015 at the Crosby Community Hall at 1:00 pm.

County increases disposal fees Beginning Jan. 1, new garbage disposal fees will be charged at Kitsap County’s Olympic View Transfer Station (OVTS). These new fees reflect the actual costs of providing these services, based on a study completed by the County’s Solid Waste Division. The minimum fee at OVTS will increase from $15 to $19 (tax included) for up to 539 pounds of general garbage, also known as municipal solid waste or MSW. For amounts greater than the minimum the fee will be $68 per ton, plus 3.6 percent Solid Waste Collection Tax. This disposal fee

continues to be the lowest in the Puget Sound Region, and second lowest in all of Western Washing-ton. Other charges at OVTS include: Appliances ($16.50 each) Passenger vehicle tires ($5 each) Commercial truck tires ($8 each) Separated yard waste ($64.84/ton) Other fees apply to various other “special wastes” such as asbestos, contaminated soils, and creosote-treated lumber. For a complete list of special waste fees, go to www.kitsapgov.com/press/pdf/3057-OVTS-Rates-Web.pdf.

No one knows for sure who the winner was, but folks at Ralph’s Red Apple in Bremerton are celebrating anyway. According to Glyn Correll, owner and manager of Ralph’s Red Apple at 6724 Kitsap Way, a winning Wash-ington State Lotto ticket was sold at his store on Nov. 19. The winner received $1.9 million. “He came in and bought it on the day of the drawing when we were having an open house,” Correll said. “He came back later and told one of the clerks that he’d won.” Correll said that the clerk “didn’t recognize him,” as a regular customer, but thought he was someone local from Bremerton. “We don’t know who he is, only that he told the Lotto folks he doesn’t want any press,” Correll said. This isn’t the first time the store’s been lucky, either, Correll said. This was the fourth time that a big winning ticket was sold at the store that he’s owned since 2008. Because a winning ticket was sold at his store, the store gets 1 percent of the amount, or $19,000. What’s Correll got planned for the money? “Pay some bills, I guess,” he said.

Questionof theweek

BY CHRIS SOMMERS As a restaurant owner operating

in four states and looking to expand, I’m happy to see the minimum wage going up in 21 states to kick off the new year. I’d like to see the federal minimum wage increase as well to benefit business and our economy nationwide.

Last spring, my business part-ner, Frank Uible, and I raised the minimum wage in our restaurants to $10.10. And we did it without raising prices.

Our teams work hard at our res-taurants. But some of our employees couldn’t afford to buy the pizza they put so much effort into for our guests. That’s not right.

And it’s not good for business.Business owners don’t create more

jobs when they have more money in their own pockets thanks to low wages. We create more jobs when other people have more money in their pockets to spend at our busi-nesses.

More working Americans walking around with money to spend is what fuels this economy and creates more consumer demand.

Some business owners who haven’t run the numbers like us will say they can’t afford a wage increase. I’m here to tell them they can.

A sense of right and wrong may have sparked our decision, but it was old-fashioned number crunching that showed we can and should do what Congress should have already

done. Our increased payroll costs were more than balanced by reduced employee turnover rates, increased productivity and greater customer satisfaction.

We lost employees before because they couldn’t afford to fill their tank with gas to get to work, or make a car repair. Employees who can make ends meet stay longer, are less stressed and are more productive.

Too many people forget that the lower the wage, the higher the employee turnover, which costs busi-nesses time and money in recruiting and training new workers. We spend more than $500 training a new line cook. We threw away thousands of dollars in product a year due to inexperienced employees prepar-ing it improperly. Eliminating just a portion of these expenses pays for increased minimum wages.

The morale boost and loyalty we have already gained from our employees also pays for our wage increase. It’s a win-win when employees can concentrate on serv-ing customers, without worrying about how they are going to make rent or put food on their own table.

Our more experienced teams take better care of our guests. We’ve gained many new customers who have written us notes telling us how grateful they are that we treat our employees fairly. Those guests are visiting our business more frequently, further contributing to our bottom line.

We’ve seen that after implement-

ing a $10.10 minimum wage our teams are performing better, our labor cost is under budget, our sales are great and we’re expanding.

To those who say jobs will be eliminated due to wage increases, we say you’re wrong!

We didn’t reduce employees at our St. Louis and Washington D.C. restaurants. We created more jobs. We opened a new Pi Pizza this year in Cincinnati and are opening soon in Miami. We’re planning a second Pi Pizza in Washington D.C. and are looking into expanding to new states.

And we’re far from alone. Contrary to what opponents of a

minimum wage raise claim, a 2014 nationwide poll showed that 61 per-cent of small business owners with employees support increasing the federal minimum wage to $10.10 and adjusting it in future years to keep up with the cost of living.

It’s time for lawmakers to listen to the majority of business own-ers who believe a minimum wage increase makes good business sense. Individual business owners can’t do it alone. Individual states can’t do it alone. We need Congress to raise the federal minimum wage for the good of our whole economy.

Chris Sommers is Co-Founder of Pi Pizzerias and Gringo Mexican Restaurant based in St. Louis, Missouri, with locations in Washington D.C., Ohio and Florida. He is a member of Business for a Fair Minimum Wage.

Boost business by raising minimum wage

It’s a new year. It’s the time when we set goals for what we want to accomplish in 2015. In thinking about the community, what are the things we want to get done in 2015? Here’s a few suggestions:

This year should be the year that we secure funding for a new library in Silverdale. Years of planning and comments from the community has culminated in the decision to purchase and build a library near Clear Creek along Bucklin Hill Road. Many hours of study and behind-the-scenes work has happened and now it’s time for the community to come forward and give generously during the Kitsap Regional Library’s fund raising campaign. Work is already happening to secure grants and large donations and what’s going to be needed in 2015, is for each of us to take part and donate.

This year also is the year that Bremerton will add some much needed resources to its community services. Work is underway on an addition to the Salvation Army that will house a shelter for the homeless. And, down the street, the Kitsap Rescue Mission is adding even more shelter room. There will be laundry facilities and showers for those who have no home to use. We should all set a goal that these services be available for those who need them by the time winter rolls around in 2015.

Downtown Bremerton has plans to improve its traffic flow with sev-eral street projects that will route ferry traffic. We need to support the downtown merchants as they work to bring new life to a beautiful city with a view. More long term tenants at the Bremerton Marina and more employees at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard certainly means more activity downtown.

And no one can miss the business growth and new activity happen-ing along Wheaton Way. There’s no doubt 2015 will be the year that brings Bremerton back.

2015 will also be the year that Silverdale will see several of its road projects be completed, including the water district’s replacement of lines throughout the Kitsap Mall area and on Anderson Hill Road. And, by fall, there will be a new shopping center, The Trails at Silverdale. While tenants haven’t been officially announced, there’s definitely a strong interest in seeing places like Nordstrom’s Rack, H & M, the Cheesecake Factory and maybe even an IKEA come to town.

Our list of goals for the community could go on and on. We urge you to make a list for yourself of what you’d like to help happen in 2015.

We live in a great place with so many options for where to spend our time and money. Each of us should commit to helping Silverdale and Bremerton become better in 2015 through our ser-vice and our spirit. Happy New Year.

Make it happen in 2015

TOP STORIESCONTINUED FROM A1

patients can continue seeing their doctors. For much of 2014, the hos-pital has been battling with contract employees over contract negotiations regard-ing employee healthcare and grievance procedures, among other matters. Union off icials have accused Harrison of violat-ing labor laws and Harrison has declared that the union has violated laws during the negotiation proceedings. The ongoing battle had resulted in the threat of a one-day strike, and church, labor, and politi-cal leaders petitioning Harri-son CEO Scott Bosch.

• Pacific Avenue road work in Bremerton takes addition-al time and money Bremerton residents raised concerns in February that the Pacific Avenue Proj-ect, between Sixth and 11th streets, was not being execut-ed to code and was creating an inconvenience by using com-mercial parking lots and area dumpsters. That same month, city offi-cials announced that the proj-ect was going to cost more than expected, but would be completed early. However, the project was not completed until after the deadline of April 18, even though the budget increased by nearly $1 million dollars to $4.1 million. According to local engi-neer Tom Knuckey, most of the additional funds were necessary due to poor soil dis-covered after excavation. Soil testing, usually done before construction, would have required closing the roadway and resulted in large potholes. Councilwoman Leslie Daugs didn’t agree with the decision to skip the testing, saying that large projects always seemed require more money after the initial budget is calculated.

• Ordinance limiting pan-handling in Bremerton pass-es city council In November, the Bremer-ton City Council passed an ordinance aimed at elimi-nating panhandling on city streets. Police Chief Steve Strachan spearheaded the campaign to limit panhandling, stating that it was not a matter of free speech, but an issue of public safety. The ordinance made it unlawful to panhandle within 25 feet of an ATM or bus stop, creating no-panhandling zones on many of Bremerton’s busiest streets, including Sixth, 11th, and Burwell streets; Charleston Boulevard; Sher-

idan Road; Kitsap Wheaton and Sylvan ways; and Naval and Washington avenues.

• Man survives watery crash into Sinclair Inlet On the morning of May 8, an 88-year-old man drove his white Cadillac straight into the Sinclair Inlet. Witness Francoise Deighan, who was tending to her yard with her husband Jim, said the man did not attempt to apply the vehi-cle’s brakes. Francoise made the 911 call as Jim ran to help. The elderly man, later identified as Jack Doninger, was rescued by team effort, as Jim, two boaters, and eventually two Bremerton police officers and two Bremerton firefighters all contributed to the rescue efforts. Jim applied CPR until EMTs arrived on the scene and transported the man to Har-rison Hospital in Bremerton. Suquamish police sent a dive team to retrieve and remove the vehicle.

• The Trails at Silverdale breaks ground The official groundbreak-ing for the Trails of Silverdale, a 17.6 acre retail development southwest of Greaves Way and Clear Creek Road, took place on Aug. 28. The 210,000 square-foot center is expected to open in the fall of 2015 and will house a movie theater, restaurants, grocery store, fitness stores and retail outlets. Developer of the proposed new hospital, California-based CenterCal Properties, submit-ted applications to the Corp of Engineers and the Depart-ment of Ecology in 2013, that laid out the company’s plans for the shopping center and how it will handle the wetlands that are on the property. No tenants have been announced yet by company officials.

• New building/location for CK Food Bank The Central Kitsap Food Bank’s new location opened in April on NW Anderson Hill Road in Silverdale. Formerly the Tri-Star Installation build-ing, the structure underwent extensive upgrades and reno-vations before it was ready to house the organization’s oper-ations. Now there is more space to accommodate clients and plenty of food storage space. Space was lacking at the pre-vious location, resulting in off-site storage which ran up additional expenses. The new location was fund-ed in part by a C. Keith Birken-feld Memorial Trust grant, while the rest of the money was raised through donations and fundraising events over

the past five years. • Seabeck Conference Cen-ter begins 100th year In June, the Seabeck Con-ference Center celebrated the beginning of its 100th year with a public open house that included an ice cream social, hot dogs, hamburgers, pop-corn, and Pepsi. The Navy’s Northwest jazz band, along with local record-ing artist Tom Rawson and bagpiper Tyron Heade, pro-vided entertainment. Classic cars were on display, including a restored Model-T pick-up truck and children enjoyed the use of a bounce house. Volunteers gave tours of the grounds, which was once con-sidered somewhat of a ghost town after a fire devastated the once prosperous mill town

and logging community that was previously located where the conference center is today. The Centennial Year will con-tinue through 2015 with addi-tional special events planned.

• County passes mental health sales tax, new sign ordinance and gun range ordinance This year saw many chang-es, from new ordinances to implementation of a new sales tax. In June, Kitsap County commissioners approved nine proposals for spending the estimated $2.26 million generated by the .01 percent mental health sales tax passed last September. Programs receiving finds include Healthy Start Kitsap,

Martha and Mary Health Ser-vices, West Sound Treatment Center, Bremerton Police Department, Kitsap Superior Court, Kitsap Juvenile Court Services, Peninsula Commu-nity Health Services, and the Olympic Educational School District. A portion of the money, $700,000, will be set aside in case for a possible cri-sis center. In September, commission-ers approved a new gun range ordinance requiring shooting ranges to obtain a five-year operating permit and reduce noise during “recreational and educational shooting activi-ties.” In November, a new sign ordinance was passed, allow-ing electric signage. Electron-ic signs are restricted to only non-residential zones within an Urban Growth Area except for schools, churches, and gov-ernment or quasi-government signs which are allowed in any zone within an Urban Growth Area. The new ordinance requires that messages on electronic signs must remain constant for eight seconds and may not change more than three times a minute. The ordinance also includes a stipulation that the county revisit the issue in six months.

• CKSD superintendent Hazel Bauman resigns, is replaced with McVicker; CKSD moves 9th graders to the high school In school news, CKSD superintendent Hazel Bau-man resigned in March, cit-ing health reasons. David McVicker was named as her replacement in October. After a decision last Sep-tember to move ninth grade students to high school, stu-dents enrolled at Central Kit-sap, Ridgetop and Fairview junior high schools trans-ferred to Olympic or Central Kitsap high schools for the 2014-15 school year, one year ahead of schedule. Klahowya Secondary School continued to include ninth grade.

• Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue closes station, griev-ances filed, lack of commu-nications lead to a summit Central Kitsap Fire & Res-cue has had a tumultuous year including staffing issues at the Chico station in Silverdale and the closure of the Tracyton sta-tion, which suffered from an aging structure and high oper-ating costs. After a decision in late 2013 by CKFR to reduce staffing requirements, the adminis-tration and union have had tough communication. The International Association of Fire Fighters Local 2819 filed an unfair labor practic-es complaint against Central

Kitsap Fire & Rescue Chief Scott Weninger and CK Fire District Board Chairman Dave Fergus in March. Inter-nal issues escalated in August when CKFR filed a grievance against its union firefighters. To try to improve relations, Weninger created a summit group including employees and members of the com-munity to work through the issues. This November, each side dropped its complaint and reached an agreement, signing a contract which has been in negotiations for about a year.

when she came home she didn’t have to do all that.” But now that she’s retired, the cou-ples plans to travel. They have three sons, in Denver, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. “We plan to spend a month with each one of them,” he said. “We’re going to rent a vacation by owner house at each place and just live like they do.” But Bosch and his wife will remain Kitsap Countians. They’ll keep their house here. “We’ll always be a part of this com-munity,” he said. “We have so many friends here.” Bosch also volunteers at the hospi-tal, with the Salvation Army, and in the AVID program with the school district. Does he think about the hospital? “From time to time,” he said. “Now with David Schultz as president, it’s in good hands. He’s a wonderful choice and he’ll do a fantastic job. Now is the time for me to back away. I’ve moved on.” He’s only 61, he said, and has “ a lot of good years left.” Bosch said he’s very “content with his life.” “I’m very grateful for everything I have,” he said. “I have my health and I am surrounded by people who love me.”

• Jack Doninger, rescued from the waters of Sinclair Inlet He was just going to the post office to get the mail. But he ended up under water in Sinclair Inlet, at the bottom of Tren-ton Avenue. Doninger, a resident of Bremerton, says he’s doing “pretty good,” nine months after the brakes on his car failed and he ended up going under-water in Sinclair Inlet. “I was heading down the hill and something went wrong with my brakes,” he said. “I couldn’t stop the car. I didn’t want to hit a house or hurt anyone and cause any more misery. So, I steered right between the house and the tree and ended up in the water.” As the car sailed through the air, he said he thought, “This is it.” And then the car hit the water at at least 75 miles an hour. He knows that was the speed because he looked at his speedometer coming down the hill. The car was submerged quickly, he recalled. He saw the water rising. He tried to get the door open, but couldn’t. The next thing he knew there was someone there trying to knock out the glass in the car win-dow. Two employees of SafeBoats who were nearby testing a boat for the U.S. Coast Guard. They came to his res-cue, as did a neighbor who saw the car go underwater and a Bremerton police officer and firefighter who were first on the scene.

Since that time, he hasn’t had any nightmares and he drives every day to see his wife, who a patient at the Bay Point retirement community. “I was never scared to get back behind the wheel,” he said. “I figure nothing like that’s going to happen twice.” He and his wife spent Christ-mas with their son, Randy, in Port Orchard. “I feel kind of guilty,” he said. “I didn’t put the (Christmas) lights out on the house this year or put up a tree. “I should have. I just didn’t want to tempt fate and climb on a ladder.” To date, he hasn’t had the oppor-tunity to meet with the people who saved him and thank them person-ally. “That’s something I really want to do,” he said. “They risked their lives for me.” He has a few aches and pains, but hasn’t had to have anymore physical therapy since he was released from the care center where he was for a couple of months after the accident. “I feel quite lucky, really,” he said.

• Allan Wodenscheck This holiday season was much bet-ter than the last one for Allan Woden-scheck. Last year he was recovering from a near-fatal car accident. Wodenscheck, 25, of Bremerton, was on his way to work on a Monday before Christmas (Dec. 16, 2013), when a pickup truck driven by a sus-pected drunken driver, Andrew Page Smith, 32, of Poulsbo, came at him. Smith was driving north, having just crossed the bridge, when his truck collided head-on with Woden-scheck’s white Saturn sedan. Woden-scheck had to be extricated from the vehicle and traffic was at a standstill for more than two hours. Wodenscheck was taken by ambu-lance to a helicopter pad at the Bain-

bridge Island Fire Department on Madison Avenue and was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seat-tle. He underwent surgery to repair a tendon in his left knee and a shattered femur in his left leg. He also had a broken right ankle and a broken col-larbone. To this day, he has no memories of the accident. After months of phys-ical therapy, he returned to his job at AGS Stainless Inc. on Bainbridge Island in March. He was working a desk job for several months. He tried going back to working a physical job packing boxes, but that was too much for him. So now he’s training in sales for the company. He hasn’t had any lasting phys-ical problems and the doctors have cleared him. But he does notice when the weather pressure changes, he has more pain. “All of the sudden and for no rea-son, it’s pain,” he said. But he’s quick to point out that 2014 hasn’t been all bad. He was mar-ried Aug. 23 to his fiancee Lynnette, and they are expecting a son on Feb. 10. “I’m excited and I’m glad to have that to focus on,” he said. “All of that’s brought so much joy to my life. I feel lucky.” As for the driver who hit him, Wodenscheck said he was charged with vehicular assault and spent four months in jail and received a year

New commander named at Puget Sound shipyardPage A7Friday, January 2, 2015 WWW.BREMERTONPATRIOT.COM | WWW.CENTRALKITSAPREPORTER.COM

The U.S. Navy has announced that Capt. Howard B. Markle II will relieve Capt. Stephen F. Williamson to become the 49th commander of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility in July 2015. Most recently serving as the Oper-ations Officer, and before that the Production Resources Officer, at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, Markle, an Engineering Duty Officer, comes to PSNS & IMF with a depth of knowledge and experience in naval maintenance, ready to lead the Command. “It is an honor to be selected to lead such a high performing team of ship

maintenance experts,” said Markle. “I look forward to working alongside them as we face the future challenges and opportunities.” Markle, a native of Pennsylvania, enlisted in the Navy in 1986, was selected for an enlisted commission-ing program and was commissioned in 1993. He has a bachelor degree in nuclear engineering from Pennsylva-nia State University, a master of sci-ence in mechanical engineering, and a mechanical engineer degree as well as completion of the Total Ship Systems Engineering program from the Naval Postgraduate School Monterey, Calif. Additionally, he holds a Professional

Engineers License in mechanical engi-neering from the state of California. In his naval career, Markle complet-ed afloat tours on USS Klakring (FFG 42) and USS Henry M. Jackson (SSBN 730), and completed a tour as Chief Engineer on USS Dwight D. Eisen-hower (CVN 69) during two Fifth Fleet Deployments in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, as well as complet-ing a tour as an Individual Augmentee in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. His several ashore commands as an Engineering Duty Officer include assignments at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Mainte-nance Facility as a Deputy and Project

Superintendent, Ship Safety Officer, Work Integration Manager and Ship-yard Docking Officer. Additionally, he served tours with Naval Sea Systems Command as the Director, Shipyard Availability Perfor-mance Branch and Shipyard Opera-tions Division; and Factory Manager in the Submarine In-Service Program Office. At Norfolk Naval Shipyard, he served as Deputy Operations Officer and Deputy Project Superintendent on three availabilities. Williamson has served as Com-mander, PSNS & IMF, since June 2012. His next duty assignment has not yet been announced.

probation. “He doesn’t have a (driver’s)license and that, I’m glad for,” Wodenscheck said. “I don’t want him to hurt anybody else.”

• Linda Joyce, former exec-utive director of the Kitsap YWCA Last April, after more than 20 years as the executive director of the YWCA in Bremerton, Linda Joyce took a moment at the Y’s Women of Achievement awards ceremo-ny, to announce that she was retiring. It took many — including her own staff — by surprise. “I didn’t tell anybody ahead of time,” she said. “I figured they’d talk me out of it.” Joyce went to the ceremony directly from Harrison Med-ical Center where she’d been undergoing treatment for can-cer. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2010. She’s had radiation and chemother-apy. Since her retirement, she’s been working on maintain-ing her positive attitude and through the help of friends and family, is staying in her home in the Silverdale area. She is getting cleaning and shopping care through the services of Hospice. “I don’t talk about cancer in a negative way,” she said. “It’s something that I’ve had to deal with.” Joyce said even before her illness last spring, she was thinking about retirement. Since the first of the year, Joyce had been meditating and pray-ing about her future. “I’d already gone to the Social Security office to get my ducks in a row,” she said. “I just felt that it was the time to give the opportunity to run the YWCA to another woman. And I’m actually getting excit-ed about it. What better way

to show what the YWCA is all about?” Joyce is spending the holi-days with her son, Dion, and grandson, Dion, Jr., who are visiting from California. Her son is a deputy sheriff in LA County. And her grandson, Dion Jr., is a student at Cali-fornia State University, Long Beach, studying dance and theater. She was able to attend his high school graduation last May in California. “That was something,” she said. “He’s all grown up now.” She continues to keep up with what’s going on in Kit-sap County and attended the YWCA’s Walk in Her Shoes event last October. She reads the local papers and checks in with her friends on her cell-phone often. But she doesn’t plan on learning to text.

• The James Wright family of Central Kitsap Nothing is the same for James and Denise Wright and their children. And it shouldn’t be.

Last August they lost their 6-year-old daughter Jenise Paulette Wright to an unthink-able crime. Jenise was first report-ed missing as darkness set in Aug. 4 and her body was found at about 11 a.m. Aug. 7. Gabe Gaeta, a neighbor of the Wright family in the Steele Creek Mobile Park in East Bremerton, was arrested Aug. 9, after investigators said they found DNA evidence linking him to Jenise’s rape and mur-der. “Everything is very much still right in front of our faces,” said James Wright, Jenise’s

father. “We still have flowers from her funeral on the table. Her clothes are still in her dresser, just like the day she left. My wife and I haven’t been able to give them away. Every-thing is just day-by-day…a lot of crying.” Wright said he misses how Jenise would greet him when he came home from work. “She’d jump in the car and say “You’re home. Daddy’s home.” Although the Wrights’ other children — siblings to Jenise — have been back living with them since October, it’s been hard to think about having a “normal” holiday season. Wrights’ two boys, 8 and 16, and a daughter, 12, at the time of their sister’s death were taken into protective custody pending an evaluation of the home setting. They spent about six weeks living with their grandparents in Belling-ham. “We didn’t even put up a (Christmas) tree this year,” Wright said. “Too many memories. The tree was one of Jenise’s favorite things. She liked to hang the ornaments.” Although friends in the couple’s church have been helping them, Wright said finances are hard. Because of the notoriety of the case, he hasn’t been able to get a full time job. He’s been working odd jobs as he gets them to support the family. “The church has helped us,” he said. “They’re taking care of Christmas gifts. But it’s life

that’s difficult right now.” He said the family is still in counseling. But the children “feel lonely.” “They still feel traumatized,” he said. “My older son goes to Olympic High and there was an incident — a threat— there recently. He called me to come and get him.” He said students at Cot-tonwood Elementary School where Jenise attended kinder-garten plans to place a plaque at the school to honor her and he looks forward to seeing that. He said a local motor-cycle club had a poker run to support the family and the community’s help is a “saving grace.” “Jenise was our baby,” he said. “She was our youngest, our last. She was super smart and independent. Even before kindergarten, she could read and do math.”

As for forgiveness, he said he’s forgiven Gaeta, who was 17 at the time of the crime. He said his wife and his other chil-dren are “not there yet.” “The loss is ours,” he said. “We will carry that for life. But to carry the guilt and pain of hate with us, we don’t need to take that on.” “We will never forgive the act, but we can forgive him.” Gaeta pled not guilty. He potentially faces life in pris-on if convicted of first degree murder with aggravating cir-cumstances. He was charged with first-degree murder and one count of first-de-gree rape of a child. His next court appearance is Feb. 6 for a pre-trial hearing. The trail date has been set for March 9. He was transferred from juvenile detention to the Kit-sap County Jail on Dec. 23, which was his 18th birthday.

By Steven FriederichOf the WashingtOn YOuth academY

Teacher Todd Hall picks up a guitar and sits at the front of English class. Then, he starts singing, a soulful voice emerging about the impacts the Washington Youth Academy has had on his life and his students’ lives.

Some days, Hall stands in front of his class and teach-es about sentence structure, verbs, nouns and the other assortment of knowledge required by state law.

On this recent day in December, he has added a bit of music in his student’s lives – teaching about the structure of poetry and how words in song can be just as impactful as words on paper, if not more so.

And it’s working. His stu-dents, many of whom were

on the verge of dropping out or had disciplinary issues before enrolling in the National Guard-run Washington Youth Academy, sit there enraptured.

Some go before the class and try a bit of their own songs – rapping or just sing-ing a Capella. Each have taken turns writing their

own lyrics on how the Youth Academy has changed their lives – just days before they are set to graduate.

As Hall finishes one verse, his students call for him to do more.

“No, no,” Hall said. “This will have to wait another time.”

There’s no arguing.As the clock strikes on the

hour, each of the uniformed students quickly prepare their belongings, stand at attention, move to the door and proceed in a clear and orderly fashion.

After graduating on Dec. 20, the students, who come from all parts of the state, will make choices as to their future. Some will return home to their old school. Some will find new schools.

Others will just get their GED. Cadet Gregory Brychta said that he was going to give Running Start a try – a program that allows him to take college classes and earn both high school credit and college credit at

the same time.“I had a bad environment,”

said Brychta, an 18-year-old from Silverdale. “And I have no plans on returning to that environment. I’ve made changes in my life and I don’t think I would have gotten as far as I have with-out the Washington Youth Academy.”

The Washington Youth Academy is a division of the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program. Established under authori-ty of both federal and state law, the Youth Academy is a state-run residential and post-residential intervention for youth who have dropped out of high school or are at risk of dropping out.

The Washington Youth Academy is a quasi-military training and mentoring pro-gram for at-risk youth. The goal of the program is to give youth a second chance to become responsible and productive citizens by help-ing them improve their life skills, education levels and

employment potential.The program incorporates

a highly-structured format, with an emphasis on stu-dent discipline and personal responsibility to provide a positive, safe, and secure learning environment.

The Academy staff are state employees of the Washington Military Department plus a principal and six teachers under con-tract from the Bremerton School District. The staff is trained to work with at-risk youth in a residential setting and employs a “hands-off” approach that is tough and disciplined, yet caring and respectful.

In one of teacher Richard Burleson’s math classes, two students are talking when they should be doing their work. Burleson can’t tell which students are talking so he just announces that whoever is talking needed to drop to the ground and do 35 pushups.

The two students don’t hesitate and do just that –

as Youth Academy Director Larry Pierce walks in the door, a smile on his face.

“There’s respect here,” Pierce said. “There’s a code – and the students who go through the program under-stand and accept it. … We’re the last chance for many of these kids. We are changing lives.”

The program is voluntary and students from all over Washington State are eligi-ble to apply and compete for admission. Students must be a high school dropout or expellee, age 16-18, a U.S. citizen and resident of Washington State.

The applicant must never have been convicted of a fel-ony and have no legal action pending, free of illegal drugs at time of enrollment and physically and mentally able to complete the pro-gram. The program is free to the applicant. New classes start in January. To apply, visit http://mil.wa.gov/youth-academy/how-to-ap-ply.

Academy teaches discipline to those who have wandered

The Washington Youth Academy celebrated the grad-uation of 11 students from

the Kitsap County area during commencement ceremonies on Dec. 20.

The students who have completed the program include those from Bremerton:

Beverly Johnson, Jarrad Krueger, Kayla Madison, Robery Olsen, Ausinae Russell and Nathan Winter; from Port Orchard: Pe’Tyn Berry and Ryan Minor; from Silverdale: Gregory Brychta and Ian Shaw; as well as Ryan Turner of Poulsbo.

These students were among 144 graduates, who will all return to high school to get their diploma or seek an alter-native path to finish their high school education, such as a GED or by joining Running Start.

The class is the largest to graduate from the Youth Academy since welcoming its first class in January of 2009.

This year’s cadets donat-ed more than 11,000 hours of service to the communi-ty with an estimated value of $273,000 to the community.

The mission of the Washington Youth Academy is to provide a highly disci-

plined, safe and professional learning environment that empowers at-risk youth to improve their educational lev-els and employment poten-tial and become responsible and productive citizens of the State of Washington. The Washington Youth Academy is a division of the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program. Established under authority of both federal and state law, the WYA is a state-run residential and post-resi-dential intervention program for youth who have dropped out of high school or are at risk of dropping out. The free program places cadets in a 22-week intensive residential phase. For the following year, the youth receives intense mentoring and placement follow-up. The school is in Bremerton, but anyone from around the state can apply.

A Test of Adult Basic Education found that cadet

skill levels increased an aver-age of 2.3 grade levels by the end of the 22-week pro-gram compared to when the cadets entered the program. Remarkably, 132 of the 144 cadets achieved the maxi-mum eight credits students could receive from their stay at the academy. Only 29 of the cadets who entered the pro-gram had enough credits to be classified as seniors. Today, 108 graduates of the program have the credits needed to be classified as seniors.

“This journey is not about their past; it’s about their future,” Washington Youth Academy Director Larry Pierce said at graduation.

More than 1,300 students have gone through the pro-gram since its inception.

BY RICHARD D. OXLEYKitsap Week

It’s a new year, and with it comes a new round of resolutions made to

improve life, health, spirit and more.

From blogs to news articles, snuffing out a smoking habit is among the most common resolu-tions listed each year. The Center for Disease Control even has a website dedi-cated solely to 2015 quit-ters. Yet quitting smok-ing is one of the hardest annual goals for addicts to achieve.

“I would say (I’ve quit) probably six to eight times over the last 14 years,” said Jennie Morello.

Morello, of Bremerton, knows the challenges that quitting smoking poses. With family members who are smokers and years fueling the habit, quit-ting is no easy feat. Her current attempt began on Nov. 18. While the new year wasn’t the trailhead for Morello’s quitting, many other smokers will

embark on the same path at the start of 2015.

“I knew my challenge was long-term cessation,”

she said. “Quitting was easy enough, it

was staying quit.”“Everything

I did revolved around my habit

and when my next one was,” Morello

said. “I would say each time, quitting has gotten easier. I focus on the small wins and improvements, I talk about them and share them to reinforce me mak-ing better decisions.”

It’s that back and forth between quitting and smoking that experts caution against. While it may take a few attempts, try not to getting discour-aged.

“We often tell smok-ers ‘you had to learn how to smoke and you have to learn how to quit,’” said Bill Blatt with the American Lung Association.

“We believe that tobac-co addiction has physical, mental and social compo-nents and that each per-son needs to address all three in order to be suc-cessful,” he said. “It often takes several tries before a tobacco user learns the right combination of tech-niques for him or her to overcome their addiction.”

For example, Blatt said, if nicotine patches aren’t working for a quitter, then maybe a different medica-tion should be attempted.

Even when a good quit-ting aid is found, it’s just

as important to use it correctly.

“Use enough of it and use it long enough,” Blatt said. “Nicotine gum, for instance, isn’t chewed like regular gum so people should follow the package instructions to make sure they’re receiving the intended dose. People often use far less of the medication than directed.”

“Finally, they need to use the medication long enough — two weeks probably won’t be enough,” he added. “It could take six, eight

or even 10 weeks until someone has overcome enough risks of relapse to discontinue their nicotine medication.”

Risks such as stress or smok-ing triggers, Blatt said. In the end, it’s about learning each little aspect of daily life that smoking has become a part of, and planning around it. For Morello, quit-ting techniques, stress and habits has come down to forming the right mentality.

“I set myself up to succeed as much as I possibly could,” she said. “I got a few packs of my favorite gum, I

rented a few books, I downloaded

new music playlists, I got rid of all my cigarette asso-ciated

things and started walking my dogs more. I

How to win while quittingTIPS FROM THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION

The American Lung Association provided � ve tips for smokers trying to quit for the new year. See this advice, and more, online at www.lung.org.

1. Start early. The earlier a smoker quits, the sooner they can reap the bene� ts such as a healthier body and more money saved from cigarette purchases.2. Many smokers have tried and failed to quit before. It is important not to become discouraged by past attempts and to learn from them.3. Don’t quit alone. Tell friends and family and use their support.3. Medication can help, such as gum and patches, but it is important to use them correctly.5. Always bear in mind that every smoker can quit. It is just a matter of � nding the right combination of techniques to do so.

The American Lung Association has a wealth of assistance and information online. It also has a smoking cessation phone line to help answer quitting questions at

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it ’s off to work we go. Are you rac-

ing to get back to it? Or pulling the covers over your head? Either or both are possibil-ities given that the full moon arrives on a Sunday evening — 8:34 p.m. on Jan. 4 — as the festivities end and the world calls us to attendance.

This moon embod-ies the restlessness of a teenager stuck between too many emo-tions (moon in Cancer) and too many duties (sun in Capricorn). Acting out is a no-go and playing hookey wins no rewards either.

Winter is a sea-son that demands Capricornian maturity to survive. As we cross

into the new year, the two-faced god Janus, who looks backwards and forward, demands we make hard adjust-ments. This moon cycle is about focused actions and security. How will we act so we are secure both emo-tionally and physically, and also on a personal and cultural level? Changes are needed, and we are at a cross-road where a new path must be chosen. Or another route, where wisdom blends with innovation?

In the midst of this moon’s restless-ness, can you settle down and ponder adult questions of real accomplishments and emotional satisfaction? What is your strate-gy for the new year? Winter’s long nights are designed for listen-ing to the still, small voice of spirit directing our steps. If only we listen...

HoroscopesFor the Jan. 4 full moon

to the Jan. 20 full moon.

Capricorn, what are you working so hard and ambitiously for? You begin reviewing your idealism and what exact dream you are pursuing. No rush, though, because this is a two-plus-year cycle. Clarity brings more pre-cise planning behind the scenes, and those details form success later.

Aquarius, energy gathers in your sector of self-hood so get out there and preen. What new groups will you delight in this year? A wide circle of far-seeing friends fan your winds of change. Be sure you are changing in the direction you want to go. Steady on!

Cancer, balancing between others and your-self can drain, or inspire you to show your sensi-tivity. Close friends and family can give you cour-age to be seen by all of us! Rise to the occasion and vitality returns. You begin a prolonged meditation on which chores promote security and which can be tossed.

Pisces, your new journey combines prag-matism and nebulousness

— all in you! Imagination works for you as well as nose-grinding does for others. When you com-bine the two, castles in the air take amazing form and work ceases to be a drudge. Meditation on one hand, and an action plan in the other, set you right.

Scorpio, the winter season has you dreaming about the faces of abun-dance. Where do you feel fenced in? Skills, space, finances, physical impair-ments? Whatever it is, step-by-step actions can make progress in expand-ing your domain. You are enjoying your place in the world. Where do you want to go from here?

Gemini, this month your study is the con-nection and resources of intimacy with others, not being dependent or independent, but inter-de-pendent. Trusting the right partner depends on playing your hunches. What do you feel in your gut? What vision do you two tread? You can not isolate yourself in endless networking. Deeper is better.

Libra, your chart lies deep in the home and personal issues area.

You bounce as high into the world as your base is solid. Odd liaisons add spark and fun even as you remain cool and detached this winter season. Enjoy. The spring equinoxes lean heavily on the on-going lessons of relationships.

Taurus, your fortune lies out in the world and prospers as if it has a life of its own. But, even growth needs manage-ment whether in a garden or a business. Get what you can in writing and then get busy. You know you love this prospering, busy-ness stuff!

Virgo, your nervous system is high-strung and being played like a harp. Give yourself some TLC on the food and exercise front ... not too much or too little of either. Just ahead for you is a rebuild-ing of the family nest, positioning it as an opti-mal base for future expan-sion of mind and travel.

Leo, plodding Saturn and exuberant Jupiter are in a lovely dance but undecided about whether a high-kicking can-can, or an earthy clog is needed. Optimism and pessimism are two sides of one coin and your job is to balance

the coin on its edge, or as the Buddhist say, seek the Middle Path.

Aries, seeking a grounded experience of a broader way is your chal-lenge. Make it expansive enough to be inclusive of each one’s individualism and one that puts each one to work building a whole for us all. Sounds like the hard work of democracy and brotherhood born anew. Small order ... but you have energy to forge this path.

Sagittarius, your tendencies toward spon-taneity, expansion and optimism are being honed and the next few years may feel like education by hard-knocks. These expe-riences teach you what you need to turn yourself into a teacher and vision-ary. Check out the TED talks on YouTube, that could be you!

Rachel Fisher has moved beyond the shores of her child-

hood home of Bainbridge Island, but wherever the artist has found herself, from college to corporate life, she hasn’t forgotten island roots.

“I’m a lifelong Pacific

Northwest native who grew up on Bainbridge Island,” Fisher said. “I started my career as a medical illustrator while attending Oregon State University.”

Fisher graduated from OSU with honors and degrees in Fine Art and Design. Her day job is cur-

rently at Oracle’s Seattle office. But her artistic endeavors don’t end at her work desk.

“In my free time I illus-trate and collaborate with other artists,” Fisher said.

Those illustrations will take Fisher back to Bainbridge for an exhibi-tion of her work, “A Better Life.”

The Bainbridge Island Library will feature Fisher’s pen and watercol-or artwork throughout the month of January, begin-

ning with an artist’s reception on

Jan. 2 during

Winslow’s First Friday Art Walk.

“My current exhibit, ‘A Better Life,’ was conceived after one too many espressos and awkward social encoun-ters,” Fisher said.

“Inspired by the likes of Hayao Miyazaki and Mattias Adolfsson, it explores the trials andtribulations

of a group of rats as they work

to improve their lot in life.”“From rocket ships

to funerals, you’re invit-ed to be part of their adventures in a new and

strange world,” she said.

Through Fisher’s vision, a group of rats engage in adventures from knitting to gardening, and dec-orating for Christmas; often running into their feathered friends. The rats even find themselves on a trip to the moon.

Fisher chose rats as the main characters because, despite some rodent fans, rats are largely unfavor-able with the public, she said.

“My characters are rats instead of people with a

few guest appearances by owls and other furry critters,” she said. “Rats are somewhat unlovable animals which is why all of them are shown desper-ately trying (and often fail-ing) to better themselves.”

In the end, the adven-tures are of characters doing their best to be better, to achieve despite facing challenges. And in the mix is Fisher’s humor-ous take on the awkward moments people can find themselves in.

“I think one of the great-est things about life is how surreal and awkward it can be,” Fisher said. “All my illustrations capture a key moment of action within a larger adventure. They show that instant of panic, exhilaration, and awkwardness that is all too familiar. “

knew what was going to be my challenges and I was ready to face them, because I really and truly was done.”

While patches, gum and quit-smoking pills work well for other quitters, Morello did not find suc-cess with them.

“I knew when I did it cold turkey I was the most successful, so that was my method this time,” she

said.Morello has also found

strength in Facebook groups for quitters.

Morello will enter 2015 with nearly two months behind her, smoke free.

“I felt like I had been sitting, watching my life go by and then I’ve been released to finally go live it,” Morello said. “I felt like I was walking around with a dirty, smelly blan-ket wrapped around me, making me unhealthy and sucking my energy,

dragging me down, taking all the fun out of playing. Then when I decided to quit, it was a feeling of slowly becoming cleaner, and better, bit by bit, day by day. Then I no longer was wrapped in some-thing dirty, I was fresh and clean.”

“I could breath deep, and run after my daugh-ter,” she said. “We could play and have fun. I had more time to care for my home and play with my family.”


QuitContinued from page 2

We recently reviewed some of the top red

wines from the 15th annual Platinum Judging, conducted by Wine Press Northwest magazine. This week, we take a look at some of the top white and dessert wines.

The Platinum Judging celebrates the best of the best in the Pacific Northwest. Only wines that win gold medals at any of about 40 com-petitions around the world are eligible for the Platinum Judging. This year’s competition drew more than 600 wines from Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and Idaho.

For complete results, go to www.winepressnw.com.

Kiona Vineyards & Winery 2012 Chenin Blanc Ice Wine, Red Mountain, $25: The Williams family pioneered grape growing and wine-making on Red Mountain and has been making this luscious dessert wine for years. While this ice wine isn’t quite as rich and voluptuous as those we see from British Columbia, it does retain beautifully natural acidity and bright varietal flavors. This offers hints of honey, pear, orange blossom, peach and toasted pine nuts. (8.2 percent alc.)

Jones of Washington 2013 Pinot Gris, Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley, $13: Young Victor Palencia has a real touch with the grapes from the relatively cool Ancient Lakes region of Washington, and this Pinot Gris is simply stun-ning. It opens with gor-geous aromas of pear, lime and cotton candy, followed by flavors of tropical fruit, honeydew melon and cit-rus. (13.8 percent alc.)

Pacific Rim Winemakers 2013 Twin Vineyards Gewürztraminer, Yakima Valley, $14: Sadly, we don’t see as many Gewürztraminers from Washington as we used to. But happily, we still can find examples such as this from Pacific Rim near Red Mountain. This is a classic Gewürz,

thanks to aromas and fla-vors of lychee, rose water, yellow grapefruit and clove. (12.9 percent alc.)

Upland Estates Winery 2010 Ampeli Ice Muscat of Alexandria, Snipes Mountain, $36: Winemaker Robert Smasne used grapes from vines planted in 1917 to craft this stunning dessert wine. Aromas and flavors of honeysuckle, jasmine, orange and tropical fruit intermingle behind bright acidity. (10.7 percent alc.)

San Juan Vineyards 2013 Estate Siegerrebe, Puget Sound, $20: This stunning wine by Chris Primus in Friday Harbor, Wash., earned a remarkable five unani-mous double gold medals from five sets of judges this year. Aromas of Asian pear, lychee and clove lead to flavors of pear, apple and pineapple. (12 percent alc.)

Alexandria Nicole Cellars 2013 Destiny Ridge Vineyard Shepherds Mark, Horse Heaven Hills, $24: Owner/winemaker Jarrod Boyle has been crafting this Rhône-style white for years. It leads with Roussanne and includes Marsanne and Viognier. The creamy mouth feel is loaded with notes of Asian pear, apple and mango. (13.4 percent alc.)

Northwest Cellars 2013 Sonatina, Columbia Valley, $19: This blend of Roussanne and Viognier is wildly aro-matic on the nose and rich on the palate, with notes of pear, white peach, pine-

There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord.

Kitsap’s Silver City Brewery is greeting the

post-winter ale sea-son with a new spring brew apt to give enthusiasts a chil l .

“It’s super, super drink-able,” said Kurt Larson with Silver City Brewery.

“I burst when I talk about this beer, because it’s one of my favorites,” he said.

The Cold One is the newest brew from Kitsap’s Silver City Brewery. The beer has been available in 22 ounce bottles and on tap at the brewery for the past month, but it begins stocking local store’s shelves this January. Silver City began canning the beer on Dec. 30.

The Cold One is notable for a few rea-sons. Silver City’s last new brew was last spring’s West Sound IPA. The Cold One replaces that.

The Cold One is the latest creation from the Kitsap brewery, instead of re-re-leasing known recipes. It’s a pil-sner-style beer; a style commonly found through-out America, but as Larson points out, this is some-thing quite unique.

“The Cold One is more of an international style pilsner,” he said. “It uses Czech ingredients, and it’s a German presenta-tion, and because we have more aggressive hops in it, that has a Northwest appeal.”

Larson said a lot of people think of domes-tic beers such as Coors and Budweiser when mentioning pilsners, yet, in Larson’s opinion, cus-tomers want something different. The Cold One answers that desire, he said.

“This is one of the best pilsners you will find,” he said. “If I have a beer that I am going to choose to drink, and I have a line up, I’m going to drink this all day long. It’s easy to drink.”

The Cold One is also notable because of its process. Larson said that “time is money” in craft brewing.

“If you have beer sitting in tanks because it takes weeks to refine, you aren’t

making as much beer and money,” he said.

But the Cold One needs time. It has to sit and refine to come out just right; a six to eight week process depending on the batch.

“From the respect of the beer process, it’s one of the most difficult styles for any brewery to make,” Larson said. “You can’t hide any mistake in it. In regard to a hoppy IPA or an ale, you can have a lot of flavor, so if something is not quite right it can be covered up by other flavors.”

“With pilsner, it has to be perfect from ingredi-ents to the process,” he said. “If not, you get some flaws in the beer that shows up and changes the experience.”

The ingredients are important Larson said.

“We use pilsner malt all the way through, it’s very pristine and crisp,” he said. “We use Czech-style hops which give it a nice floral, like daisies and daf-

fodils, not that northwest style hops.”

“And it’s a pil-sner lager yeast that marries

that wonder-ful balance of malt and hops,” he said. “It give us a very pris-tine bright beer.”

Finally, the Cold One is also notable because it is the first beer that the brewery is releas-ing that features its new logo.

The new logo consists of an “S” and “C” combi-nation set against a silver back-ground.

“It’s time for a new look,” Larson said.

“It’s an initia-tive, refreshing look.”
