A Central Kitsap School District program that con-nects elementary students with high school mentors will be cut from the 2012 state budget, according to officials.

Mary Ellen de la Pena, a county planner, said two similar programs are slated to be cut as well, but declined to say which CKSD programs would be cut.

The CK Teen Mentor program’s annual contract with the county was renewed Sept. 26 by the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners. Through the con-tract, the school district receives $10,000 in state funds from the Department of Social and Health Services. That contract, along with two others for similar programs, will not be renewed next year, said de la Pena

De la Pena did not name the other two programs that faced cuts because her office had not for-mally notified them yet.

One, de la Pena said, is another school district’s mentoring program. The third is a county parent and family education program, she said.

All are programs fund-ed by the state with the long-term goal of reduc-ing substance abuse pre-vention, de la Pena said.

Jeni Zapatka, a school district specialist charged with overseeing the

CKSD program, said her office found out about the cut earlier this year.

With the school district as a whole facing a $5.8 million cut this year, Zapatka said she’s not sure where money will be found to continue the program.

In existence since 1994, Zapatka said in the 2011-2012 school year the program has connected about 100 high school mentors with CK elementary students. After taking part in a five-hour training, the mentors spend an hour a week with the younger students.

The program, Zaptka said, is not focused on aca-demic tutoring. Instead, Zapatka said, mentors are taught to focus on their mentees’ strengths. Still, she said, after time in the program mentees usually show

A woman walked into the bakery on Callow Avenue and burst into tears. She had moved away from Bremerton and had not been to McGavin’s Bakery in 25 years. To her, everything looked the same and she took a pink champagne cake to celebrate the reunion.

“She came to see if it was still here,” said Deloris Lichter, who has worked at the Charleston bakery since December 2007. “It’s a real tradi-tion.”

Bill Sheldon has owned

the bakery, known for its pink champagne cake, since 1981. He came from a bakery in Tacoma and bought McGavin’s because of the location and the longstanding his-tory of the pink cham-pagne cake there.

“This was the place to be and I’ve been here ever since,” he said Tuesday.

Sheldon said it’s up for debate as to exactly how long McGavin’s Bakery has been around. He said it has a history of about 74 years.

“The historical society has taken a couple shots, but I don’t know if any-one can agree on it,” he said.

Sheldon began baking as a 16-year-old when he worked at a bakery while in high school in Tacoma. He started out frying doughnuts and soon learned everything else. He enjoyed it and

knew he wanted to make a career out of it.

His family didn’t bake but it was something that he just took a likening to, Sheldon said. He was one of the last generations to participate in a three-year apprenticeship sponsored by the state at the time.

“I do it because of the actual baking,” he said.

Sheldon wakes up at

5:30 a.m. on days when he works, which is every day except for Sundays and Mondays when the bakery is closed. Half of the work day is spent on making cakes, he said.

And regardless of its actual name, there is no champagne in the cake.

“It’s a combination of

In the six years that Mike Hake has been a part of Bremerton’s American Legion Post 149, he’s seen a change.

“Six years ago right now, this place would be packed,” Hake said Monday, at about 4 p.m. Even within the last few years, groups of all ages used to make the post’s bar a vibrant social scene. Now, he said, the post is staffed and attended mostly by the old guard, and their numbers are dwindling.

“We’ve cut hours on the lounge so many times that at some point it’s kind of ridiculous,” Hake said.

Hake, a vice commander involved with recruitment at the post, said he couldn’t say whether the post was having trouble attracting young members. Age, he said, isn’t some-thing the post tracks. Still, he said, even if young members are signing up, they aren’t coming in.

“The average age of the members that come in here is between 50 and death,” Hake said.

Pete Cholometes, commander of Bremerton’s Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 239, said his post is expe-riencing the same situation.

Veterans organizations across the country have seen declining mem-bership for more than a decade.

East Bremerton recently lost Post 68 to bankruptcy and alleged embezzlement by a former com-mander.

“The younger members just aren’t coming in like the old cama-raderie boys were from World War I up through Vietnam,” Cholometes said.

Cholometes said he thinks the post usually makes a good impres-sion on young veter-ans and active duty soldiers and sailors once they come inside and see what it’s like. Getting them through the door, Cholometes said, is the hard part, especially with veterans clubs having a reputa-tion as places just to get drunk and gamble.

The Legion post still has a strong membership and meets its member-ship goals every year, Hake said, but faces difficulty getting even dues-paying members through the door. With online registration, he said, new members don’t ever have to visit the post. That means they never have the opportunity to get involved, he said, or any reason to.

Hake said he also thought tough-er DUI laws had something to do with keeping people out of the bar. Even those who come in, he said, are buying less than they used to.

Russell Thayer, a 26-year-old Navy veteran, said he wasn’t an American Legion member primar-

ily because of the cost.“It’s just one more thing I’d have

to add on to monthly [bills],” Thayer said.

Thayer said the club is attrac-tive to him because of the opportu-nity it offers to socialize with other vets, who share the experience of

service. With college debt mounting as he works on getting his career started, Thayer said, joining going to have wait until he has more financial free-dom.

Todd Bielawa, 37, a Navy veteran attend-ing Olympic College,

said leisure activities are some-thing he simply doesn’t have time for. After getting out of the Navy, Bielawa said, he went straight into college, where the GI Bill requires he be enrolled full-time to receivie full benefits.

“I might be interested,” Bielawa said. “But there’s lots of things that hold my interest, but I don’t have time for them.”

“It’s the nature of the economy. You can’t afford to stand still right now.”

The net result, Hake said, is a post in need of new blood. When one older member dies or stops being able to come in, he said, their friends often stay away as well. And most of the post leadership, Hake said, is also getting older.

“We can’t do it forever,” Hake

said.At the VFW, Cholometes said he

is trying to build an awareness that there’s more to do than drink at the club. With meal offers not focused around the bar, including breakfast on the weekends, Cholometes said he’s trying to draw in families, and spread the word that whether mem-bers drink or not, the post is a place where people understand what it’s like to be in a war.

Hake said the Legion post has also tried to reach out to younger members with events in the lounge, like opening early for waffle break-fasts on football game days, and by setting up and staffing a table at Olympic College. So far, though, he

said new faces tend to show up for an evening or a couple of meetings, and then leave.

Hake said he still thinks the post’s social scene, and the lounge especially, is the post’s best chance for drawing people in. There’s no money in the budget for advertis-ing he said, but the post has some savings and not much in the way of bills, Hake said, so the drop in business hasn’t hurt them yet. If the trend continued, Hake acknowl-edged, the post might have to close its lounge, and only open for special events.

For now, Hake said, “we make ends meet.”

Vet clubs struggle for members

Following the recent hul-labaloo at city hall over the purchase of public art from a Colorado artist, Bremerton City Councilmember Roy Runyon decided to seek an amendment to city law defin-ing the use of money raised through the One Percent for Arts program.

Runyon’s amendment plan sought to require pub-lic art paid for by the pro-gram to be created by local to regional artists. His amend-ment, which also sought maintenance funds for the current collection form the fund, included a provision for the temporary suspen-sion of the program which has put $71,000 in art along Bremerton’s Streets.

City staff from the legal office and the Department

of Community Development have changed the game and will instead offer a “tempo-rary resolution” seeking to suspend the One Percent pro-gram until January 2014.

City Attorney Roger Lubovich said that it’s unseemly for the city to spend money on art, at the moment, while facing a continued bud-get crises and the possibility of laying off city employees. The city looks bad if they let people go and put art on the street, he said.

While no money raised under the one percent pro-gram could ever be used to keep a cop on the street or a clerk behind a desk, Lubovich said most people don’t under-stand complex city budget procedures and will not see it that way.

“It’s about perception,” Lubovich said.

“People don’t realize that

money comes from different pots,” Runyon said about the one percent account.

The one percent account holds an estimated $40,000.

Runyon said he and others on the city council question the appropriateness of buy-ing during “these economic times” and said they were interested in seeing options to suspend the program and resuscitate it when the econ-omy recovers.

Under the city staff reso-lution, if adopted, the pro-gram of art buying would stop for two years, but money from the one percent account would be used to maintain the current collection and work in the city’s Arts Master Plan. The resolution could be shortened or extended to suit the needs of the city in the given economic climate.

Questions remain about the collection of funds from city building projects during the program stoppage.

The program is funded by placing one percent of

the costs of city construc-tion projects into an account, which can also receive dona-tions. The program started in 2006.

Every piece of art on the city’s inventory provided by Department of Community Development came from

within the region. Only the most recent purchase, “Sun Scoop,” came from afar. That fact suggests that there are plenty of local artists to provide the work needed, Runyon said.

Runyon voted against spending $7,100 on “Sun

Scoop” citing support for local artists.

Weight is already given to local and regional art and there is no need to lock that into, said Lubovich.

“Good art is the priority.”

Six families will have new homes in west Bremerton by this spring.

Habitat for Humanity of Kitsap County broke ground on the Bay Vista project Saturday as members of the charity’s board and one of the families set to receive a house in the project looked on.

Located on Arsenal Way beside State Highway 3, the six homes will be built as town homes, sharing walls in two groups of three, said Ted Treanor, director of Habitat for Humanity of Kitsap County.

By Monday, work on the foundation had begun, and Mel Cunningham, construc-tion manager at the site, said he was just waiting for county

permit approval before pour-ing concrete.

The program, Treanor said, is open to anyone who meets income and credit criteria set by Habitat for Humanity.

An open application peri-od begins for each site, Treanor said, as soon as plans are f i n a l i z e d . Applicants who meet the income and credit r e q u i r e -ments have to also be willing to put in what Treanor calls “sweat equity,” working alongside the builders for a certain number of hours.

“We’ve had handicapped

people,” Treanor said. “If you can serve coffee on the job site, or pound nails or any other kind of skill.”

One family had already been selected for a home in the development. A single mother of two, Treanor said, had met the requirements and agreed to put in 400 hours of “sweat equity” alongside

volunteers at the site. The organization was especial-ly happy to find a home for the fam-ily, he said, because they had applied three years ago and had only just

missed certain eligibility cri-teria.

The credit requirement, Treanor said, is included because successful applicants end up actually owning their

homes. Habitat for Humanity gives zero-interest loans to the new owners, he said, which they then pay back on their own.

Beyond the basic require-ments, Treanor said, appli-cation is open to anyone. As of Tuesday, Habitat for

Humanity had received 24 applications for the six homes. Treanor said that the number of applicants had gone up over the last year, but he couldn’t say by how much.

Many families, Treanor said, are unable to afford

homes of their own even though they may already pay as much or more in rent than they would on a traditional mortgage.

“There’s a lot more need out there than what we build,” Treanor said.

Kitsap County approved an $8,512,174 service con-tract with Kitsap Mental Health last month, but simi-lar contracts central to the agency’s budget are at risk of being cut.

Joe Roszak, executive director of Kitsap Mental Health, said that as a result of Governor Chris Gregoire’s requirement that state agencies submit pro-posals for 10 percent budget cuts, the institution is at risk of losing core services. In a worst-case scenario, Roszak said, Kitsap Mental Health could become a “crisis-only facility.”

Anders Edgerton, the County’s contact for the contract, said approval of the $8.5 million budget package was “routine.” The contract, and others like it, are arranged between the city and service providers to distribute state funds.

Kitsap Mental Health, a single agency, has multiple contracts with the County for different services pro-vided to different groups, Edgerton said.

David Dickinson, a direc-tor at the state Department of Social and Health Services, said his agency had proposed a package of cuts that included ending nearly all state funding for adult drug abuse prevention and treatment and all medi-cation subsidies for adults.

The cuts would also affect Medicaid eligibility and funding and would close six wards at the state’s two

mental hospitals, Dickinson said

Dickinson also directs the Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery, which includes mental health and substance abuse.

“No one ever contemplat-ed these options,” Dickinson said.

Both Roszak and Dickinson emphasized that the cuts were still only pro-posals. The cuts from each agency must make it past the office of financial man-agement, the governor and ultimately the Legislature.

With one-sixth of the state’s population on Medicaid, Dickinson said he didn’t think the political will existed for major cuts to those services.

“We don’t know what’s going to happen until the governor signs it,” Roszak said.

Cuts to state Medicaid

funding would have an espe-cially severe effect on Kitsap Mental Health, Roszak said. Since federal Medicaid fund-ing is tied directly to state fund-ing, Roszak said, for every state dollar cut, the organi-zation also loses a dol-lar in federal funds.

According to materials made available by the insti-tution, Medicaid state and federal funding make up 77 percent of Kitsap Mental Health’s total budget.

The proposal, Dickinson said, eliminates the state’s coverage of adult drug abuse treatment and preven-

tion services for all except minors, pregnant women and nursing mothers.

Those services, Roszak said, are key to KMH’s care. More than 60 per-cent of the institution’s c u r r e n t patients also have drug problems. T r e a t i n g the two separately is ineffec-tive, Rozsak

said. Closing wards at state

mental hospitals, Roszak said, would ultimately just mean more people coming through the door at Kitsap Mental Health.

If all the cuts are accept-ed by the governor and Legislature, Roszak said,

the facility would become a “crisis-only facility,” cut-ting all treatment, therapy, and counseling outpatient services.

The same number of people will need treatment whether Kitsap Mental Health offers outpatient services or not, Roszak said. If the organization switch-es to “crisis-only” care, he said, the difference would be patients only being able to get care when they were deemed a risk to themselves or others.

Without treatment, Roszak said, 90 percent of the institution’s patients would eventually become a risk to themselves.

After cuts made in the last legislative session, Roszak said, the institution now turns away an average of 10 people per week.

Facing a 2012 budget shortfall of more than $2 million, the Bremerton City Councilmembers are likely to cut a few of their staffs’ positions after Mayor Patty Lent offers her proposal for the 2012 city budget.

Along with budget shaving techniques such as skipping cost of living increases for city employees and possibly clos-ing some city parks, the city council will be asked to consider passing an ordinance to stall the city’s five-year-old One Percent for the Arts program for two years.

The proposal to put public art into limbo has trac-tion in the halls of the Norm Dicks Government Center even though city leaders and staff admit that the ordinance to be offered up, which, if passed, will stop purchases of public art by the Bremerton Arts Commission, will not actually affect any change for those facing layoffs or the 2012 budget.

City leaders instead say the move would be one mostly of appearance – a bit of plastic surgery. It’s perhaps too ironic to notice the move to halt public art in one of the few cities in the state to host, and largely boast about, an “official” Arts District.

Raised by taking one percent of every city funded construction project, and donations, the one percent money can only be used to buy or maintain public art in a public space. The $40,000 currently in the one

percent account cannot be sent to the police budget in effort to keep a cop on the street or to keep a city clerk behind a desk.

With no real effect on the 2012 budget problem, or 2013, the city’s only reason to suspend one percent is to pacify the taxpayers, rather than educate them. It’s a bit too much on the smoke and mirrors.

We disagree with the tail waging proposal on the principle that citizens are smart enough to understand that city depart-ment budgets are often not interchangeable.

While the city could realize a savings of $10,000 for every $1 million in construction projects if the funding mechanism for the one percent program were also stalled for two years, the city would be better to see the needs of taxpayers and city employees’ job security by seeking to hold down over all costs of poorly-bidded construction project that often see 10 to 30 percent cost overruns after final city councile approval.

“I’m against it. I’m a Tea Partier. I’m tired of this ---- where ‘you owe me something.’ You’ve got it up on Wall Street and you’ve got it here. For those who need it, I don’t mind, but at what point do you stop killing the golden goose?”

Gary SoulaSilverdale

WORD ON THE STREETWhere do you stand on Proposition 1?

“I’m all for the cause, but I’m not all for the tax. Just like everybody else I’m strug-gling myself right now. If I have to pay too much I’ll be joining their ranks. I just wish they would take money from things they don’t really need and put it toward things they do really need.”

I would be against it. One reason is because the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs gets grants, and they have pro-grams for them to be taught to work and live, so this is a duplication.”

Break the monopolyMonopolies are generally a

bad thing – both in business and in politics.

An example is right here in Kitsap County, where a sin-gle party controls virtually every aspect of our local gov-ernment. This is particularly troubling considering that our commissioners, elected (or appointed) to conduct the peo-ple’s business, are marching in lockstep to abdicate two of their three primary responsibilities –

transportation planning and land use planning.

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 improving their properties, and a host of other intrusive and unwanted govern-mental controls.

We need to elect commis-sioners who believe these poli-cies are their responsibility, not something to be delegated to an ideologically-driven, quasi-governmental organization in Seattle.

Chris Tibbs is that person. He is smart, knowledgeable, and a person of integrity – a business man who is unafraid to ques-tion the status quo. He knows Kitsap County well and he will look out for your interests.

Please give him your vote.Bob BenzeSilverdale

Obvious ruse Though I understand there is

nothing illegal about an elected person stepping down before their term ends and their politi-cal party choosing another to run, it seems a bit devious to me UNLESS the person is incapaci-tated or has passed away! I don’t

like either political party doing that. Our citizens have a right to vote on who the new commis-sioner will be. It is healthy for a “mix” to determine how the county is run and not a rubber stamp of the previous commis-sioner.

I would like to have another voice heard and that should be Chris Tibbs.

Here are two pieces about food in Bremerton that everyone can appreciate.

The first is a Bremerton Foodline fundraiser. The 3rd Annual Empty Bowl Dinner Fundraiser will be held on Saturday, Oct. 15 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Our Savior’s Lutheran Church Hall located at the corner of Veneta Avenue and 11th Street. For a donation of $10 or more per person, you will receive a wonderful one of a kind ceramic soup bowl crafted by a student or a vol-unteer under the direction of Bremerton Clayworks and a delicious dinner selection of soups and breads donated by local Bremerton restau-rants and businesses. All proceeds will go directly to the Bremerton Foodline.

Many of my close neigh-bors and friends have spent the last several months and endless hours putting together and planning this event. Many of them will be volunteers at the event either serving or cleaning up. This is a wonderful way for the people of Bremerton to help feed and take care

of the people of Bremerton. I plan on being there. I also plan on bringing my own son. Not just for a meal, but for the overall experience of how community charity can be served with dignity, appreciation and friendship.

Money is much tighter for everyone this year. As we enter into the holiday season, be careful and smart with your charitable deci-sion making and donations. There is a very real connec-tion to the dollars you give locally. Money and food donated to local charities like the Bremerton Foodline goes directly to your fellow community members with

faces and names that you most likely already know.

The second Bremerton related food piece I have, has to do with a fun quirky café on 15th Street named the HI-Lo Café. We did family breakfast at the Hi-Lo this past Sunday. I love that place. The people that work there are always fun and friendly. When you enter through the door it feels just like a big bear hug from your very best friend. The food is also fantastic. Downhome easily recogniz-able items as a base with an unexpected twist that makes each dish special and unique.

The café is small and on weekends pretty popular so you might have to wait a bit, but trust me that wait is well worth it. Any angst you might have experienced hav-ing to wait is immediately dispelled as soon as you take that very first bite of yummy goodness.

So take your pick. Feed yourself or feed your fel-low community members. Food is life. Enjoy what Bremerton has to offer.

October Topics And Presenters

CathcartCathcart first ran for the

school board in 1999 and has continued to serve on the district’s board since then. The last two times she ran for the post, she did not have a chal-lenger.

She wanted to join the school board because she felt that the board at the time was not doing an adequate job of listening to the community. In the summer of 1994 the decision was made to elimi-nate the swimming program because of issues surround-ing Title IX and the budget, Catchcart said. Her son was on the swim team as a diver.

“What struck me was the lack of getting the stake holders involved,” Cathcart said. “They didn’t listen to get to that point.”

Cathcart and other par-ents helped the district iden-tify another female sport — bowling — and raised money to keep the boys swimming program. She said at first their comments were not

respectfully received by the school board.

“When a seat is available in my district, I’m going to go for it,” she recalled of her

thoughts back then.Serving on the

board for 12 years, Cathcart said she has kept up with education reform and the change at the state and federal level. She’s learned more about infra-structure of the

buildings.“There are a lot of parts of

education that we don’t real-ize until we’re in the middle of it,” she said.

With big budget cuts looming for the district, she said her experience will be useful for the board.

“We’ve made some big cuts and we’re going to have to make more,” she said. “We’re at a point, we need to have people who understand the funding model and under-stand how it fits together.”

Cathcart said that engag-ing all stake holders — par-ents, teachers, other com-munity members — in dis-cussions will help the board make the difficult decisions. She added that anything the district decides to do, should be “data driven.”

She said on the decisions to close elementary schools, they made those decisions based on information avail-able at the time. But, now she is not sure if they have kept with the “minute time” that students spend on the school bus since they must travel further.

Catchcart is currently the director of volunteer ser-vices at Hospice of Kitsap County and has been there for 11.5 years. She received a Bachelor of Arts from Santa Clara University.

She credits that her son received an excellent educa-tion through the district and wants to ensure that contin-ues for all children.

“I want every student in the district to receive the same,” she said.

This election cycle there is one race for a seat on the Central Kitsap School Board. Jeanie Schulze is running against incum-bent Christy Cathcart for the District 4 position.

The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Central Kitsap School Board race

SchulzeSchulze began working as the vol-

unteer coordinator for the district in 1987. It was a position supported by the current levy and her responsibilities included developing and supporting volunteer programs at the schools. One program that she helped coordinate was the PECE program where area sailors engaged with students in the classroom. The local PECE program became the model for the nationwide one, Schulze said.

“I welcomed and worked with it,” she said, adding that getting com-munity members involved with the schools is important.

Because of two failed school district levies around 1993, funding for her volunteer coordinator position was gone but she shifted into the dis-trict’s community relations specialist position. With that job, she became the point person for media contact, drafted letters to parents and connect-ed with community organizations. Schulze worked with the district until she retired in 2004.

“Even before, I’ve always been an advocate for schools,” Schulze said of the time prior to working at the district.

Schulze is part of CK Kids Matter,

the volunteer organization that pushed for the capital projects levy that vot-ers approved of in February. She has served on the board of the Silverdale Chamber of Commerce and Paul Linder

Foundation and currently serves on the Kitsap Adult Center for Education Board.

Being an active listener who contributes to thoughtful and respectful discourse is an asset, Schulze said.

“To me, now is an important time. It only comes every four years,” Schulze said. “I know looking ahead the school dis-

trict would be in difficult, challenging times.”

Schulze said that at the center of mak-ing decision on budget cuts, student achievement should always come first. The school district estimates having to cut about $6.8 million from the budget for the 2012-2013 school year.

Schulze has two grown children who graduated through the district. She has a Bachelor of Arts from Indiana University.

Even though people may not always agree on issues, Schulze said it is impor-tant to be available to listen and that her parents taught her that accessibility is key. They also emphasized the impor-tance of giving back to the community, which she strives to do, she said.

“You might say it’s just in my DNA,” Schulze added.

More than 50 percent of Bremerton homes were built before 1960 — before energy efficiency housing codes were implemented — so now is the time for residents to get their houses audited to see what needs to be fixed or changed — for free.

The program, RePower Bremerton, provides in-home energy assessments in order for residents to increase the comfort and safety of their homes while offering cash-back incentives. It was

launched in September and on Tuesday Mayor Patty Lent had a summit to encourage community members to par-ticipate in the program.

“We want to make it affordable and convenient for you,” Lent said.

In July 2010, Bremerton received a BetterBuildings award from the U.S. Department of Energy. The city was one of 20 communi-ties in the country selected to receive money for energy efficiency. The grant was $4.9 million that is going toward the assessments and has cre-ated 66 new jobs, said Hilary Franz, who is involved with the program.

Franz is a Bainbridge Island city councilwoman who spearheaded Repower Bainbridge, which began in March. Since the Bainbridge program launched, 1,500 homes have been assessed, Franz said. The Bremerton program has a goal of assess-ing 1,000 homes.

“We all know when we’re wasting water, nobody knows how much money we’re wast-ing in their homes,” Franz said on why it’s a good idea to get an assessment.

Each assessment includes a 90-minute walk-through of the unit from Puget Sound Energy to address problems and the evaluator will come up with a list of recommen-dations ranging from duct sealing to installing compact fluorescent bulbs. A more comprehensive four to five-hour evaluation for a home energy score has a cost to it that depends on the size of the house, said Franz.

Jim Adrian, a local land-lord and past president of the Puget Sound Rental Owners Association, encouraged

other rental property own-ers to get their units assessed through the program.

“It’s going to reduce our utilities bill, improve our property value,” Adrian said.

Adrian has been a landlord in Kitsap for about 35 years. He said he plans to aggregate properties with other land-lords in order to get large package bids.

“It’s cheaper to save energy than pay for generators,” he added.

Yvonne Kraus, RePower program manager, said that about 35 Bremerton homes have been audited. The pro-gram is set up for inspections of single family homes of up to four units, she said. The energy advisor walks around the home with an infrared camera to detect where cold air is entering the unit to determine an energy perfor-mance score. At this time they are set up to do this evaluation for only single family homes, she added.

David Malcom, pastor of Ebenezer AME Church said the church has a couple prop-erties. He and his wife moved to the area last December.

“As responsible landlords, we want to do all we can,” said True Malcom, David Malcom’s wife. “We’re just looking into every avenue that we can.”

City Councilwoman Dianne Robinson said she plans to sign up to get her house audited. She said her house was built in 1979 and about five years ago she dis-covered there was no insula-tion.

“I think I could really use an assessment,” she said.

Robinson added that those living in older units could greatly benefit from getting an assessment done.

“It’s really needed in a lot of the houses,” Robinson added. She said she planned to encourage residents in her district, especially Anderson Cove, to consider looking into the program.

There are cash-back incen-tives offered for energy effi-cient improvements made to units from Puget Sound

Energy and Cascade Natural Gas. Franz added that those who do not have Puget Sound Energy or Cascade Natural Gas Corporation services may be eligible to receive incen-tives through the RePower program.

Along with the RePower program in Bremerton and on Bainbridge, there is RePower Kitsap, that is geared toward reducing energy consump-tion in county homes.

improvement across the board.

“Having just one more person who thinks a stu-dent is special leads to academic improvement,” Zapatka said.

Getting 100 mentors for an entire year for $10,000 dollars, Zapatka said, “it’s a very economical invest-ment in the kids, for what we receive.”

According to the pro-gram’s county contract, the program was only expected to include about 30 to 50 mentors.

The Central Kitsap School District organizes two other mentor pro-grams, Zapatka said, for adult and peer mentors, that will not be affected by the cuts.

The end of last fiscal year saw cuts in funds to two similar programs, de la Pena said. North Kitsap School District’s Teen Mentor Program and CKSD Fairview Homework Club both

lost funds from the same agency.

The Fairview program served about 25 elemen-tary students out of a portable building on the grounds of Olympic High School.

Both programs are now gone, de la Pena said.

Those cuts were not the result of a reduced bud-get, said Michael Langer, a State Department of Social and Health Services administrator. It was a shift in state fund-ing priorities, he said.

Instead of trying to spread a small amount of money across the county, Langer said the new plan focuses the same amount of money on two towns in Kitsap County that need it most.

“We had this sort of shotgun approach,” Langer said. “Real change requires larger invest-ment in fewer areas.”

The same process, Langer said, has already begun elsewhere in the state, and will continue until counties statewide have been included. In Kitsap, the state will

decide which three to five towns need the funds most, and county offi-cials will choose the two

to receive the funds.As to where programs

that found themselves left out of that invest-

ment were supposed to get their funds, Langer said counties are going to have to find that money

themselves. Some, he noted, have imposed a local sales tax.

things,” said Sheldon of the staple cakes that draw customers in, adding that people probably like them because they are pink.

The cakes are multi-layered and are softly coated with coconut. The smallest size comes

at 7 inches and can be made upward to double sheets for special orders, Sheldon said.

During a “good” week-end, they sell about 100 cakes, said Sheldon. In a typical weekend, the bak-ery sells from 40 to 60 cakes, he said.

In addition to the pink champagne cakes, the bakery produces other cakes including choco-

late champagne, red velvet, and angel food. They make danishes, many different types of cookies ranging from gingerbread to chocolate

chip and serve up pies to order.

Sheldon said he stopped baking an assortment of breads about three years ago because it took too

much labor and was unprofitable. Yet, on some Saturdays, Sheldon will bake his cinnamon raisin bread.

“I like just watching it and trying to make it perfect,” he said of breads and baking in general. “I’m fussy about things.”

For the breads, he likes to get a perfect “bread-and-shread,” which is the line that runs around the outside of the loaf on the upper part without any breaks or cracks.

“Timing is everything,” he said. “This is an art.”

Aside from himself and Lichter, Sheldon has one other employee at the bakery. Debbie Crowl has been working at the bak-ery for more than a year-and-a-half and said that she has learned a lot from Sheldon about baking.

“I couldn’t ice a cake to save a soul,” Crowl said when she first started.

Like Lichter, Crowl said she enjoys working at the bakery because of the tradition. She said there are people who come in to order a cake who say they cannot remember a birthday when they didn’t have a cake from McGavin’s.

“It’s nice to listen to the nostalgia,” Crowl said.

Of his six grown chil-dren, Sheldon has one son that works for the gov-ernment “but bakes all the time” in San Antonio. The others never took an interest in baking but that never bothered Sheldon.

“I always told them, you should enjoy what you do, or not do it,” he said.

Attendance was full and spirits were high at this year’s Olympic College Foundation Luncheon.

Held annually in October, the luncheon is a major fund-raising event for the founda-tion with funds going toward program support, equip-ment needs, scholarships and emergency grants.

This year’s luncheon was attended by more than 300 people Monday, which exceeded prior record atten-dance set back in 2006 before the economy slipped into recession. Donations were

also at an all time high with more than $100,000 donated by attendees.

The luncheon’s featured speaker was Olympic College student Stella Heard who shared her life’s story about growing up in a small vil-lage in Kenya to attending Olympic College after mov-ing to the United States. Heard thanked those in attendance for their generos-ity in giving to the founda-tion because she herself was able to receive support from the foundation which helped her achieve her education at

Olympic College.Other speakers at this

year’s luncheon included Rep. Norm Dicks, founda-tion executive director Joan Hanten and foundation director of development Kelly Woodward along with 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 during these difficult eco-nomic times.

Olympic College Foundation Luncheon sets fundraising record The opposition to

Proposition 1 (Veterans and Homeless levy) that will appear on the November ballot is based on fact, logic, and truth. Conspiracy and fear mongering are not part of that argument.

Fact is that the exist-ing Veterans Assistance Fund (VAF) is a property tax levy, mandated by law, and is not impacted or eliminated by Prop 1. The VAF levy mandates a minimum allocation of 1 1/8 cents per thousand to that fund. A maximum of 27 cents per thousand may be allocated. Logic says that if additional VAF funds are required, the commissioners could provide those monies from the general fund. If additional tax revenues are required, logic pre-vails that asking for a 1 cent per thousand lid lift would be appropriate. Truth is that the commis-sioners chose to go with a complete new levy.

Fact is that the Prop 1 levy uses the same authority in law as the existing VAF levy. There is no allowance under the RCW for a second vet-erans levy. Truth is that the association of “vet-erans” with Prop 1 is for the marketing value and

little else.Fact is that the county

has no specific plan for use of the funds to be collected under Prop 1. The resolution authoriz-ing Prop 1 outlines use in only the most general terms. Logic indicates that there is no existing hard data to support the proposal. Truth is that much of the first year revenue will be to deter-mine the exact needs and how the funds should be spent and then to draft plans.

Fact is that state law mandating the current VAF also established specific qualification parameters for “veter-ans” who may benefit from the fund. Prop 1 opens access to virtually anyone who was in the military regardless of period of service or class of discharge. Truth is that Prop 1 serves to cir-

cumvent the provisions of existing law.

Fact is that Prop 1 has a “goal” of 5 percent for administrative fees. The VAF currently pays about $50,000 for a part time employee on a base of $400,000 or 12.5 percent. Logic indicates that the organizations that receive grants to provide services normally operate with a 10 to 15 percent over-head and that will not decrease. The truth is that overhead cost for the program will actually be in the 12 to 15 percent range.

Facts clearly indicate that Prop 1 was poorly conceived and is poorly supported by fact. Truth is that voters routinely reject library, school, and fire district levies based on lack of detail. Logic indicates Proposition 1 deserves the same rejec-tion. No is the appropri-ate vote.

Jack Hamilton is a Silverdale resident, Chairman of the Kitsap County Republican Party , a member of several vet-erans organizations and the author of the oppo-sition statement against Propostion 1 on the November ballot.

Bremerton woman calls suicide line apologizing

A 30-year-old Bremerton woman called a suicide cri-sis line to let people know to “find her body” after she consumed a bunch of pills Oct 8.

The incident was report-ed at about 8:12 p.m. and a police officer responded to the woman’s residence in

the 1000 block of Burwell Street. She had called the cri-sis line saying she took a bunch of pills and apologized for calling while add-ing that her reason for calling was so that someone would know to find her body.

The officer took her in protec-tive custody and transported her to

Harrison Medical Center for a mental health evaluation and treatment.

Homeless Bremerton woman assaults

man for occupying “prime” panhandling spot

A 35-year-old Bremerton woman was arrested for assaulting a man at the off-ramp of State Highway 3 onto Kitsap Way Oct. 9.

The assault was reported at about 11:11 a.m. and a police officer responded to the scene and found a 51-year-old unemployed Bremerton man who said the woman had assaulted him. He told the officer he was panhandling at the off-ramp when the woman came over and was upset because he was occupy-ing a “prime” panhandling location. When he wouldn’t leave, she punched him sev-eral times with a closed fist and kicked him in the leg, according to police reports.

The officer observed a bruise and small laceration under the man’s left eye. The man told the officer that the woman headed toward the Denny’s on Kitsap Way. She was located on a trail between the Super 8 motel and State Highway 3 with other home-less people.

When the officer asked the woman about the assault, she said that last week the man had stabbed her and hit her with his cane. She said she was upset because he is not

homeless nor a veteran, like his sign states.

A driver who witnessed the woman strike the man and had called 9-1-1 said she observed the woman as the primary aggressor and that the man attempted to defend himself with his sign and cane. The 35-year-old woman was arrested and booked into Kitsap County jail for fourth-degree assault.

Woman reports “possible murder,” is arrested for assault and drug possession

A 40-year-old Port Orchard woman was arrested Oct. 9 for third-degree assault and the possession of metham-

phetamine after calling from the Oyster Bay Inn in Bremerton to report a “pos-sible murder.”

A police officer arrived at about 8:18 p.m. and the front desk staff said that the woman left on foot head-ing east on Kitsap Way. The officer found her in front of the Flagship Inn and she appeared upset and acted like she didn’t want to talk to the officer. When asked for her name, she said “no” and said she wanted to prevent a mur-der.

She continued to become angry and walked into Kitsap Way. The officer attempted to pull her back on the side-walk to avoid getting hit by oncoming traffic but she resisted and swung her arm, nearly hitting the officer in the face.

The officer eventually was able to get her back on

the sidewalk but the woman attempted to bite and scratch the officer. Finally she resist-ed, being aggressive after the officer told her she would be tasered if she did not comply. The woman was under the influence of drugs or had a medical or mental condition, according to police reports.

The woman was arrested for third-degree assault and for possession of metham-phetamine — she was found with less than one gram of the substance. The report was forwarded to the prosecutor’s office.

Needles found near Norm Dicks Center

Hypodermic needles were found in the area of Fifth Street behind the Norm Dicks Government Building where there is street parking Oct. 7.

A police officer arrived on scene at about 4:16 p.m. and observed five capped needles in a parking stall. The nee-dles appeared empty. They were placed in a container for disposal.

The report was for infor-mation.

Two years ago Silverdale resident Colin Shaughnessy conducted a little busi-ness experiment to see if he could start and run a mobile auto repair service as a successful small busi-ness.

Today, On Demand Auto Repair is a mobile 24/7 auto repair shop booked weeks in advance and on the verge of expanding into a second rolling repair shop and hiring a mechanic to operate it.

One year into the bad economy, the shrinking amount of work coming into Shaughnessy’s employ-er’s shop got him thinking about other approaches to his working life and how he might better support his family. Being a mechanic is what Shaughnessy does. Leaving the industry he loves wasn’t part of the process.

“It’s his gift,” said Jennifer Shaughnessy, Colin’s wife.

The idea to take the full services of a garage to the customer’s house in the way that doctors used to make house calls was not Colin Shaughnessy’s origi-nally. The first time he’d heard of such a thing was when one pulled up to his childhood home to fix a clutch in the family Ford. He was 15.

“I never though about it again until two years ago,” he said.

Jennifer Shaughnessy said her husband came home from his job at the auto shop he was work-ing for and pitched her the idea.

“I’ve always worked on the side,” said Colin Shaughnessy. After a few months of working evenings and weekends he built up a client list, including more than 10 f leet maintenance custom-ers, and decided it was worth the leap to take On

Demand Auto Repair into a full-time occupation.

Jennifer Shaughnessy, who handles much of the administration and sees to the books of the com-pany, used Craiglist.org and Facebook as market-ing tools that served along side the growing word of mouth from happy cus-tomers. Most of the work comes from repeat cus-tomers at this point, said Colin Shaughnessy.

Part of his plan included the bet that in the down economy people would hang on to their cars longer and good maintenance and repairs would be needed. The other part of the bet was that customers would prefer the mobile service to the shop experience.

He says he is “100 per-cent” happy with the deci-sion to go out on his own with a business. “There are stressful days,” Colin Shaughnessy admitted.

Shaughnessy said his customers do like the mobile service provided from the Grumman box truck that he’s converted in to a rolling garage and the one on one experience they get with the owner – him. He said he’s in effect become a personal mechanic to a lot of folks in Kitsap County.

Executive director of the Silverdale Chamber of Commerce, Kathleen Knuckey, said there have been others in Silverdale

to start up mobile small businesses in the down economy.

Once a customer of Shaughnessy’s herself, Knuckey said the ser-vice he provides to those whose cars are broken and stranded is very useful.

Also in Kitsap County are a mobile dental hygien-ist and a mobile bread bak-ery.

Part of the business model of a mobile com-pany can be a necessity with small businesses she said. For example, she mentioned Kitsap Errand Runner, which was started by an unemployed man who got the idea while running errands for his mother. Mobile businesses can have a lower overhead

cost, she said.“[It’s] being creative in

this economy,” Knuckey said.

The only thing On Demand is missing in a lift, but Shaughnessy said there is little that can’t be done on jack stands. He fixes everything from a mid-century farm tractor just outside of Kingston to

f leet cars, and like brick-and-motor auto shops, On Demand offers a 12,000 mile warranty on his work. A trained licensed and certified mechanic, Shaughnessy said 99 per-cent of his jobs are com-plete in a single day.

A recent client of Shaughnessy’s faced an $800 dollar repair bill to

fix the heater core buried deep behind the dashboard of her Toyota T-100 pick-up. She decided the repair was smarter than buying a new truck right now, Shaughnessy said.

Maintaining vehicles well makes a lot of sense if you’re going to keep them around, he said.

The City of Bremerton will Wednesday con-sider adopting state law on illegal laser use into its municipal code and create the possibility of misdemeanor prosecu-tion should the Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Office decline to pursue a city case.

Currently, all violations of the states laser laws in Bremerton are handled by the county on behalf of the state because the city has no provision, said Roger Lubovich, Bremerton city attor-ney.

Examples of illegal use of a laser under state law include, pointing at on duty police, pointing at pilots, transit operators and firemen. The state perspective is that lasers are used to intimidate or harass. Washington state criminalized laser use for those reasons in 1999 saying “less expen-

sive and more accessible.”Lubovich said the idea

is to adopt state law on the illegal use of lasers up to the misdemeanor level into city code. The city can prosecute felonies, he said.

The proposed ordi-nance is the result of council direction to city staff.

City Councilperson Roy Runyon brought up the issue after hearing of lasers being targeted on a bus driver and others, including one person on a bridge, Lubovich said.


Former neighbors of the Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club last week gave non-expert testimony during a nuisance trial brought by Kitsap County and held in Pierce County Superior Court.

Following years of noise and safety complaints from neighbors of the shoot-ing range, Kitsap County Prosecutor Russell Hauge filed the lawsuit against the Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club in September 2010.

Brian Chenoweth, the gun club’s attorney said he doesn’t know when the trial is expected to conclude. Kitsap County deputy prosecutor Neil Wacther said earlier this week that his only guess is that it will conclude mid to late next week. Testimony continued this week. The trial was expected to last two weeks and began during the last week of September.

One former neighbor said a stray bullet entered his house.

He said that bullet came from the gun club.

Another neighbor said the noise from “automatic gun-fire” significantly increased over the years.

Colby Swanson and his family lived on El Dorado Place east of the shooting range from 1990 to 2009. He said when they first moved in, they heard shooting occa-sionally that sounded like tar-get shooting.

Then in 1995 on Martin Luther King holiday, there was an “incident,” Swanson said. What he thought was a stray bullet from the Seabeck gun club, came through a window into his family room.

Swanson said he heard a “ping sound” followed by a “rattling sound.” It was in the morning and his 10-year-old daughter was watching TV in the family room. He saw something spinning on the floor and he found what he thought was a bullet.

“Her reaction was in shock,” Swanson said of his daughter who was covered in shards of glass from the object striking through the window. “Being a father, I was concerned for her safety. Once I knew she was OK, I was angry.”

Swanson said he called 9-1-1 and a Kitsap County sheriff ’s deputy arrived to his home and wrote an incident report and collected the bul-let.

The deputy told him he was going to contact the range and

check on it, Swanson said. Later in the morning, two

men from the gun club came to Swanson’s home and said that they did not believe the bullet came from their range because they have safety pre-cautions to prevent incidents such as that from occurring, Swanson said.

Although the represen-tatives from the club didn’t believe the stray bullet came from their club, they offered to pay for getting the win-dow repaired, which they did, Swanson said.

“There was some concern it would happen,” he said of his home being struck by a stray bullet again.

Swanson added that when he and his family first moved into the home in 1990, they planted fir trees that had grown and felt like they acted as barriers.

In another testimony, William Fernandez, who also used to reside near the gun club, said the sounds of gun fire became a problem over the years.

He lived north of the gun club on Outback Avenue from 2002 to August 2011 and said at the beginning he would hear shots occasionally.

“They weren’t evasive. They were sporadic. Sometimes I wouldn’t hear them at all,” Fernandez said of when he first moved to the area with his family.

Fernandez said around 2007 or 2008, the shooting noises became such a nui-

sance that he could hear them from inside his home with all the windows closed. He and his family couldn’t spend time outside or enjoy a barbe-cue, he added.

“We moved out there for peace and quiet. It was the opposite,” he said.

Fernandez was not aware that there was a shooting range near his lot when he moved in, he said.

One time when he was walking the trails in a wood-ed area near his house in 2008, he heard a shot that he thought hit a nearby tree. He was walking west of the club’s property and thought the shot was fired from the range. After that incident he drove elsewhere to walk because he felt it was unsafe, Fernandez said.

In the cross-examination, Fernadez said that he did not report the shooting to the sheriff ’s office.

In addition to the testimo-nies of former neighbors to the range, Stephen Mount, Kitsap County’s code compliance officer in the Department of Community Development, gave a testimony.

Mount said in 2005, he began to receive complaints of noise and heavy equip-ment activity. The club had done some trench work that required permits that it never sought out, he said.

“They didn’t agree that development was going on,” Mount 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.

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.

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.”

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

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.
