Not one specific program or change can be pinpointed as helping more students to graduate high school in Bremerton. But numbers show an increase in graduation rate and there are many factors that have contrib-uted to it.

In the 2002-2003 school year, Bremerton High School had 57.3 percent of students

graduate on time and since then the number has increased with the 2009-2010 school year, the most recent information available, seeing 87.5 percent graduate on time. It has now surpassed state numbers with the state on-time graduates at 76.5 percent, accord-ing to data from the state Office of Public Instruction.

Various programs and strategies have allowed the Bremerton School District to increase graduation rates over the last few years while simultaneously decreasing drop-out rates, said Patty Glaser, district spokes-woman.

Chris Swanson, college and career coun-selor at Bremerton High, who has been with the school for 11 years said the development of some programs such as earning course credit from an Internet-based curriculum allows students who may not do well in a tra-ditional classroom succeed. Throughout his time at the school, the counseling staff has also become data driven to track students’ progress.

It’s the cumulation of the various pro-grams that have helped with the trend of more graduates, both at Bremerton and throughout the state.

State graduation numbers have been inch-ing upward since 2007 and Nathan Olson, spokesman of the state Office of Public Instruction, said that many districts are doing various things from “early detection” of at-risk drop out students to one-on-one tutoring. The state does not have quantifi-able data on what exactly causes the trend, he added.

Swanson said that in 2004, Bremerton also began student-led conferences, which have helped encourage more parents in participat-ing. In fall 2003, an estimated 23 percent of parents or guardians attended the confer-ences, which primarily included notifications of their children’s grades. With the student-led conferences, students also share their academic goals in each of their classes. In fall 2010, 81.2 percent of parents of guardians participated in the conferences.

The Coast Guard has passed up SAFE Boats International, a Port Orchard firm, for a $180,100,000 contract to replace the force’s work-horse small boats.

According to materials posted on the Coast Guard website, the con-tract to replace the Response Boat-Small was awarded to Louisiana firm Metal Shark Aluminum Boats. The Coast Guard called the pur-chase “one of the largest boat buys of its type” for the agency.

The original fleet of Response Boats-Small, or RBS’s, was pur-chased by the Coast Guard under an emergency directorate after Sept. 11. According to the Coast Guard website, the vessels are used widely on waterways, ports and coastal areas.

What really separates the two candidates for Port of Bremerton commissioner?

Axel Strakeljahn says he’s “frustrated” with media accounts portraying him and Shawn Cucciardi as practically interchangeable candidates.

It’s true they both tout their backgrounds as busi-nessmen who have a lot of employees on their payrolls.

Strakeljahn is general manager of the Fred Meyer store, one of the largest retailers in South Kitsap; while Cucciardi is part-owner and manager of the McCormick Woods golf course and restaurant.

As for the mission of the port district, they agree it’s to promote economic devel-opment that will bring jobs to the region. And both men talk about using a tar-geted marketing approach to attract new businesses to the port’s facilities.

However, those similari-ties in their views only go so far.

When the topic of taxes comes up, their stances diverge — but only after hit-ting the same notes in criti-cizing the much-maligned

“stealth tax” the port district passed in 2006 to pay for a new marina in Bremerton that’s never had enough ten-ants to break even.

Their shared criticism is of the way that property tax increase was approved, not of the facility that it pro-duced. The tax rate went up by 45 cents per $1,000 of assessed value for property owners in the port district.

The bond for the mari-na will be paid off at the end of 2012, and after that, Strakeljahn vows there will be no more tax increases on his watch as one of the three port commissioners. Cucciardi, on the other hand, doesn’t say no way, though he makes clear that if there’s a worthwhile port project that would require a property tax increase to pay for it, he would only vote for such an increase if the pub-lic was clearly in favor.

Cucciardi says the fall-out from the “betrayal” the public felt over how the tax increase for the marina was passed has made it harder in subsequent years to pass other tax levies, such as for schools and fire/EMS oper-ations. But he’s not staking out a strict “no new taxes” position like his opponent.

“It’s not that our people

are against all tax measures; they understand the need for taxes” to provide public services, Cucciardi main-tains. “I just think people as a whole have become disenfranchised with public leaders.”

Strakeljahn sees it differ-ently, emphasizing that it’s essential to hold the line on taxes in an economy still struggling to recover from recession, with high unem-ployment and so many peo-ple struggling to make ends meet.

“I don’t think increasing the tax pressure on the com-munity is the right thing to do,” he says. Instead, he says the port’s leaders should focus on “providing jobs that increase the tax base ... not increase taxes.”

They both promise an expanded push to recruit businesses from outside the area that will bring new jobs to the port’s facili-ties, whether it’s in avail-able space at Bremerton National Airport or South Kitsap Industrial Area.

Cucciardi also mentions that keeping major tenants such as Safe Boats will be a priority, noting that the manufacturer’s lease with the port expires in 2012. Safe Boats employs about

300 people, and Cucciardi says if the company is suc-cessful in its bids for some big new orders, “it could lead to expansion of their facility.”

Strakeljahn said another issue is the SATO building at SKIA, which “sat empty for two years, with no ten-ant,” and still has only half the available space rented.

“We need to go outside the area” with the port’s market-ing efforts, he said, “that’s where business growth is going to come from.”

Both candidates agree on that, but on the subject of their own business experi-ence, each claims an edge.

Strakeljahn, who was formerly the manager of the Pay’n’Pak stores in Bremerton, says he has “a proven track record.”

“I’ve operated business-

es in this county for over 30 years; and I haven’t just operated one business, I’ve operated several,” he says.

Cucciardi, who organized the group of investors who bought McCormick Woods in 2003, and who also owns a local transportation logis-tics company called West Coast Carrier, says he has “more than just manage-ment experience” in his endeavors. “I’ve started a business, and raised capital for a business,” he says.

There’s one other aspect of the campaign that Strakeljahn has tried to make an issue, and that’s the endorsements Cucciardi has collected from elected officials and civic lead-ers. He’s also received the endorsement of the Kitsap County Democratic Party, and Strakeljahn says that

puts Cucciardi in the posi-tion of “taking sides” in what is supposed to be a nonpartisan race.

“I haven’t taken the dem-ocratic side, and I haven’t taken the republican side,” Strakeljahn says. “I truly believe this position needs to represent the entire com-munity.”

He says he’s “running totally as a nonpartisan,” and his only public endorse-ment is from current port district Commissioner Larry Stokes.

Cucciardi brushes off any suggestion that he’s running a partisan campaign, and says he has more support from business people than politicians. It’s important to him to have the backing of people who are “very active community leaders.”

Port of Bremerton candidates differ on taxes

BY RICHARD WALKERNORTH KITSAP HERALD EDITOR

Poulsbo’s new deputy police chief was the best overall recruit in her class, the first female sergeant in her depart-ment’s history, and hon-ored by the Red Cross for saving a life at a vehicle collision in 2010.

Bremerton Police Sgt. Wendy L. Davis came out on top of a field of 40 candidates to become Poulsbo’s new deputy chief. Chief Dennis Swiney announced her hire Tuesday and said her first day on the job will be Nov. 2.

She will be paid $87,811 per year, Swiney said. Her hire brings the depart-ment up to 19 full-time equivalent employees: 10 officers, three sergeants, one detective, one sup-port services manager, one police clerk, and one chief. One police clerk position is vacant and is scheduled to be filled.

“She is very profes-sional, competent, thor-ough, and has the desire and energy to be very successful here,” Swiney said.

Davis’s first day is a City Council meeting day. She will be introduced to the City Council and sworn in at the council meet-ing, Swiney said.

Davis started her law enforcement career in 1992 as a reserve offi-cer with the Bremerton Police Department. In September 1995, she was hired as a full-time commissioned officer. Upon completion of the Washington State Basic Law Enforcement Academy, she was named Best Overall Recruit in her class. In 2002, she was promoted by Chief

Robert Forbes to serve as the first female sergeant in the department’s his-tory.

During her career with Bremerton, she worked as a bike and boat patrol officer, school resource officer, field training officer, Taser instruc-tor, defensive tactics instructor, crime pre-vention detective, traffic sergeant, and K-9 unit supervisor, according to Swiney.

As crime prevention detective, Davis focused on community education, Block Watch, landlord-tenant training, commu-nity policing, and public information.

Davis received an associate’s degree from Olympic College in 1994, a Bachelor of Science in criminal justice admin-istration from the University of Phoenix in 2009, and in August com-pleted a master’s degree in business administra-tion from the University of Phoenix.

Davis is a member of the Kitsap County Fair Board and the Kitsap County Commission on Children and Youth. She has been involved in Concerns of Police Survivors, Washington State Crime Prevention Association, Kitsap Day Care Association, and Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound.

She and her husband, Bremerton Police Sgt. Mark Thompson, live on a farm in Seabeck. They have three children and three grandchildren.

The deputy chief ’s position has been vacant since September 2010, when Shawn Delaney left as part of the Voluntary Separation Program, which provided incen-tives for employees to leave as the city pared its workforce because of budgetary constraints. It was understood at the time that a deputy police chief would not be hired until an officer left the force, creating a vacan-cy in the ranks, Finance Director Debbie Booher

said.The police department

is budgeted for two fewer full time employees than in 2008.

Swiney said Davis will oversee the day to day operations of the depart-ment, and will assist him in budgeting, setting and carrying out goals.

Swiney said having a deputy will enable him to work more close-ly with city staff and other departments, keep abreast of local and state crime trends, and stay

ahead of economic, polit-ical and social changes that can affect level of

service.A priority for him

is getting the depart-ment accredited by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. Forty-nine law enforcement agencies in Washington state are accredited, meaning they are certified as operat-ing under industry best practices and standards. In 1976, the association was directed by the state Legislature to develop standards and goals for law enforcement agencies in the state, and the asso-ciation has maintained an operational accredita-tion program since that time.

Accredited agen-cies in this region include Edmonds Police Department, state Department of Fish and Wildlife, Washington State Patrol, and King County Sheriff ’s Office.

“It’s something I believe is important,” Swiney said. “It assures your style and philoso-phy are contemporary within the law enforce-ment profession.”

We often use this space to encourage city and county leadership to make decisions or take action in ways that we support and believe in. This week, with the mailing of bal-lots, we want to encourage our readers, the public to take the time and fill out their entire ballot before mailing them in or

dropping them off by 8 p.m. On Nov. 8.The county elections office expects that 76,000 of

the 146,000 currently registered voters to send in bal-lots after voting on state and local issues, such as an open county commissioners seat, a Bremerton City Council seat, a Central Kitsap School Board seat and Proposition 1, the Veterans and Human Services Levy.

We encourage the other 70,000 to speak their minds and make the effort to participate in the local version of the democratic process. We won’t tell you how to vote, but do implore you all to vote in every race and on every issue presented to the citizenry.

Proponents and opponents of ballot issues and candidates will spout on ad nauseam without the interruption of the election, but in the end the future makeup of your school board, your city council and your Board of County Commissioners all rests upon you individually.

If you think local elections don’t matter, consider that the now famous entertainer and former vice presidential candi-date Sarah Palin went from a seat on a city council for a town of 5,600 to governor of a state with the population about the same as the city of Seattle to vice presidential candidate in 12 years. She won her first local election with a margin of 220 votes, her second election by 211 votes. Remember that the recent gubernatorial elections between Dino Rossi and Chris Gregoire that were decided by hundreds of votes.

With local issues, citizens must vote to effect the best pos-sible outcome for local issues and quality of life. If you’re not registered yet, the county will hold an in-person voter registration, for those not currently registered in Washington state, on Oct. 31.

Choose SchulzeI’ve had conversations with peo-

ple who wonder if Jeanie Schulze would consistently defend admin-

istrative positions. That notion could not be further from the truth. Jeanie will participate in discussions and propose alternatives as an elected school board member. In my first term as a school board director Jeanie was an employee. I often met with her and our immediate past superinten-dent to discuss issues. In the course of these conver-sations, if potential actions were suggested by the super-

intendent or me that Jeanie disagreed with, she would politely make a dif-

ferent recommendation and provide sound rationale for her opinion.

I believe that Jeanie Schulze will be an asset to the school board. She will ask the right questions, at the right time, and in the right manner. Because Jeanie understands leader-ship, she will model civility, courtesy, and respect for staff, parents, and community members as she partici-pates in board discussions.

Jeanie is a person of strong charac-ter. She embodies the board’s values of respect, teamwork and integrity. I am confident that Jeanie will be able to represent the community in an outstanding manner. Through her ability to listen and lead proactively, she will ensure our students receive the best possible education.

to the Bill Mahan dynas-ty on the Bremerton Port Commission. Mahan had the good sense to not face the voters again after the infamous and costly “stealth tax” deba-cle of 2006. However, the same political insid-ers club that supported Mahan has found a political clone to run as his replacement. This is McCormick Woods Golf Course owner Shawn Cucciardi.

Land of the free?

What kind of health-care system does our government have when Medicare Part D, pre-scription coverage, can enroll a person with an insurance and without that person’s knowledge or that person’s permis-sion?

Then Medicare Part D arranges with the Social Security Administration to remove that person’s monthly premiums from that persons Social Security check. Adding to those problems, half-way though the year, that person is put into the donut hole so that there is almost no coverage at all for their medications for the rest of the year, while still having to pay monthly premiums.

What is happening to the land of the free? We are losing our freedoms at a fast rate.

LETTERSCONTINUED FROM A4

The question has been asked; do we really need the Veterans and Human Services Levy? One answer is yes as the demand for assistance is increasing while fund-ing from federal, state, and chari-table resources is declining.

We are on the cusp of a home-less crisis.

As uncomfortable as they are, here are some of the facts about Kitsap County. Public schools report that they have 555 homeless students. We have 14,000 people on DSHS Food Program (food stamps) of which 1,900 are home-less and 1,100 without shelter. We have 4,300 residents receiving unemployment, of which 986 are veterans. In 2010 936 citizens (including 144 veterans) exhaust-ed their benefits.

In 2011 (through June 30) 536 more (including 79 veterans) exhausted their benefits. These are all hard-working neighbors and friends who are now with-out any income.

Kitsap’s four primary shelter operators provided 31,121 bed nights (July 2010 to June 2011). They remain full with waiting lists.

VA’s homeless programs in our county are inadequate and at capacity. The demand on the county’s Veterans

Assistance Fund is now exceeding its $300,000 in annual revenue.

You can see where the money goes at: http://www.kitsapgov.com/hr/wsolympic/veterans/VA.htm.

This levy is about giving a hand-up to those who are on the edge of becoming homelessness or are already homeless. It’s about helping the

elderly, veterans, military personnel and their families, services for children and youth, the unemployed and underem-ployed and for services specific to vet-erans’ needs such as treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and specialized employment assistance. And, we need to provide help with compassion, collabora-tion, and common sense.

The levy is also about providing a cost effective, seamless delivery of services that 1) reduce homelessness, 2) reduce involvement of the homeless in the emer-gency, medical and criminal justice sys-tems; and 3) increase the self-sufficiency of veterans, military personnel, their families and non-veteran families and

individuals in need.Activities to advance the above goals

include, but are not limited to, capital facilities, housing assistance, homeless-ness prevention, mental health counsel-ing, substance abuse prevention and treat-ment, employment assistance, strength-ening and improving health and human services system infrastructure to provide greater access to services.

The levy is also about transparency. The levy resolutions outline in detail how the revenue is collected - into two separate funds, one for veterans and one for non-veterans - and how the money can be spent. Each fund will have its own citizens advisory board to oversee each fund. They are also required to publish an annual report on activities funded by the levy.

If passed, the county is limited to not more than 5 percent of the proceeds for administrating the fund. The county can-not use any levy proceeds for supplanting funding to any existing county human service programs, including the veterans assistance fund The state-mandate VAF will continue, separately from the levy’s veteran fund.

Preventing homelessness, and helping those who are homeless is an extraordi-narily complex process. It also means eliminating redundancies and building a cost effective, efficient, seamless system that breaks the cycle.

The levy, if passed, would bring in approximately $1,350,000 a year at a rate of five cents per $1,000 of assessed value. That’s about $12.50 a year on a $250,000 home. That’s a small price to pay. Got questions? Go to www.kitsapcares.org for the ‘real facts.’

GuestColumnLeif Bentesen, Kitsap County Human Services Planner, Veteran’s Advisory Board and Vietnam veteran

The world of motor-sports died a little this week with the loss of two-time Indy 500 win-ner Dan Weldon on lap 12 of the last Indy car race of the season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

As a motorsports enthusiast I follow all types of racing from time to time throughout the entire year whether it is NASCAR, Formula 1, drag racing, rally and open wheel that includes the Indy Racing League. I have participated

myself at the grassroots level competing in

Autocross for six years as well as in the occasional open track road course lapping day.

Man has been racing one another since the invention of the wheel. From the original and actual four horse pow-ered chariots of Rome to the 675 horses powering the average Indy racing car of today. Man and now woman will con-tinue to dream up ways in which they can use speed to pit themselves against each other in ongoing constant battles of daring, skill, courage and endurance.

There will be questions this week about the sport of racing because of this loss. Questions about the track, questions about the race management and questions about the series’ safety as a whole. For NASCAR, it took the loss of Adam Petty on May 12, 2000, Kenny Irwin on July 7, 2000 and the beloved Dale Earnhardt on Feb. 18, 2001 for the series to not only make significant changes and improve-ments to the cars and to internal cockpit safety, but to the way in which the sport management approaches and makes decisions within the business of racing.

Within every sport there is risk. Racing has a few more risks than

some and a few less than others. As a fan, I will continue to enjoy my sport. I will always respect the risk. I will honor those who have perished doing what they so love and I will cheer those who live to race another day.

Jason and I are sea-son ticket holders to the NASCAR Sprint Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. We have been for about eight years now. We don’t attend the race every year and when we don’t go we share our unused tickets with our friends. This coming March 2012 we will be in attendance at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the NASCAR race. While we continue to embrace and enjoy all that motor-sports has to offer, we will take the time to think of and reflect on

Dan Weldon while we are there at the track and the impact and legacy he has left behind in the world of racing. For a passionate life cut too short way too soon.

For a local connec-tion to racing in the Bremerton area be sure to check out the Bremerton Motorsports Park website at http://bremertonmotor-sportspark.com/blog. They have information about the lease that was just signed in September with the Port of Bremerton for the devel-opment of a motorsports facility to replace the existing property that they are no longer able to use. Sign up in sup-port of the project and keep checking back with them for more informa-tion and updates as the project progresses.

Locally the craft are used in secu-rity zones around Washington State Ferries, large cruise ships and military ships moving through Puget Sound.

SAFE Boats spokesman Jason Solomon refused to comment on the loss of the $180 million or its effect on the company.

Port of Bremerton spokeswoman Chris Case said that negotiations between SAFE Boats and the port regarding a planned multimillion dol-lar expansion in support of the firm were still underway as of Tuesday.

SAFE Boats did not mention scaling down the expansion, Case said.

The final decision on who would replace the existing fleet of work boats came after a year-long process. After soliciting proposals in late 2010, the Coast Guard in early 2011 announced the purchase of one vessel from each company for testing and comparison.

According to the Coast Guard’s award announcement, the contract is for an initial purchase of 38 boats, with the option to purchase as many as 500. Of those, 470 would go to the Coast Guard, 20 to Customs and Border Protection and 10 to the Navy.

The new boats will be similar to the first generation RBS craft, but slightly longer. Under the contract, the replace-ment vessels are required to be able to reach 40 knots, have a range of 150 nautical miles, be portable in C-130 aircraft and carry up to twelve people with mounts for machine guns.

the process,” said Swanson. “They want to come out and support their students.”

Michael Lawrence has two chil-dren who graduated from the high school in 2007 and one son who is currently a junior and said the school is improving and is good about meeting with the commu-nity.

“They are open are trying to fill in the gaps,” Lawrence said last week. “Whenever my wife or I email the teachers, they always email back. They communicate well with us.”

For his children, Lawrence said that mentoring and being involved with sports have helped his chil-dren keep on the “right path.”

Christopher Lawrence, Michael Lawrence’s son who graduated four years ago, said that he recalled classmates who did not graduate with him and he believed it was a lack of support — usually from their parents.

“Some students feel that nobody cares, they need somebody to care,” Christopher Lawrence said. He is currently a certified nursing assistant at Bremerton Health and Rehabilitation and is planning on going into the nursing program at Olympic College. His twin sister Christina is a youth community

leader involved in mentoring and plans to go back to OC, said Michael Lawrence.

In Christopher and Christina Lawrence’s class of 2007, 68.2 per-cent of students graduated on time and 73.6 percent were extended graduates. From that class 51 percent attended OC, 15 percent attended a four-year college, 3 percent joined the military and 9 percent began working, according to statistics from the high school. Swanson added that the numbers were developed based on senior exit surveys students completed in May and June and may not portray what graduates actually end up doing. In 2010, 24 percent of students reported plans to attend a four-year college.

“The actual college enrollment figures are lower, the question is how much lower,” Swanson said.

Graduating high school is one step and attending a college or uni-versity is another.

Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs is a federal and state initiative to help schools with low-income populations prepare for college readiness. The school received a three-year state grant from GEAR UP that supported the class of 2011, said Swanson. Some of the services provided through the grant included taking the class to college visits around the Puget Sound area, providing national-

level guest speakers, covering Advanced Placement testing fees for students who couldn’t afford it and training for teachers to teach AP courses.

“Overall this program was doing both — to graduate and pursue post-secondary education,” Swanson said.

Swanson said that a new cohort will begin with the current 7th graders in the district provided by a $157,000 GEAR UP grant. Each year, additional money will be received to serve the class until they graduate.

Although students from the class of 2011 are done with high school, they can still receive guidance from the school. Through the grant, the recent graduates can continue to receive support though the end of the month.

“GEAR UP is about building relationships with the students. We had several students come contact us the first week of school before

we contacted them,” said Deann Irish, career and technical educa-tion clerical assistant.

The graduates have been able to meet with counselors by either dropping in or arranging an appointment to receive assistance ranging from how to fill out finan-cial aid forms to looking into new programs. Facebook has helped graduates stay connected with counselors and Swanson said that if a graduate comes to them next month, they won’t turn them away but that this is the “last push.” The school also checks in with the graduates to see where they are at in order to produce statistics to the state to follow up with the grant.

Both Irish and Swanson said that being able to provide support for the students post-graduation is important especially since many are first generation college stu-dents or maybe even high school graduates and their parents are not familiar with how to navi-

gate things such as financial aid options.

But before students get to the point of appearing like they may not get to graduation — such as failing a class — help is provided right away.

Any student in grades 9 or 10 that fail a class are immediately enrolled in a “credit retrieval” option to regain that lost credit, Glaser said.

Programs including the Odyssey Program and Drawbridge Program are an opportunities for students to not continue to fall behind. Odyssey offers a full curriculum set to state standards where students earn credit through online work. Drawbridge is an individually designed contract-based program that is reading intensive and proj-ect-based where students focus on one class at a time.

“Regaining that credit quickly is a key factor in keeping students actively engaged,” Glaser said.

Even with individualized sup-port from the school, some say that parents always need to be involved for the students to do well in school.

“Sometimes the parents are clueless and don’t know what their kids are doing,” said Christopher Lawrence. “They need to reach out more toward the parents.”

The Bremerton City Council is expected to hear public comments on the city’s Six Year Transportation Improvement Plan

Wednesday during a planned hearing on the issue.

Required by the federal gov-ernment, the plan is a “wish list” that includes projects of both high and low priority, said Gunnar Fridriksson, a city engineer. Despite being

labeled a plan, Fridriksson said, the projects are unfund-ed, and at least some of them are not expected to receive funds any time soon.

Other projects on the list, however, were more likely to become reality, Fridriksson said, including a much-dis-cussed trail from Sinclair to Gorst.

Before the city may apply for federal funds for any transportation project, Fridriksson said, that proj-ect must be listed on the Transportation Improvement Plan. After listing, the city may go ahead and and apply for federal funds for a project, or it may not.

Federal funds include criteria for eligible projects, Fridriksson said, so whether the city ever actually submits

a project depends largely on whether funding is found that looks like it matches that project. Projects in the plan aren’t even ranked or ordered according to prefer-ence, Fridriksson said.

“STIP is the big picture. It doesn’t get into the nuts and bolts. It’s big picture think-ing,” Fridriksson said. “It is a wish list. A dream.”

Despite its name, the law requires a new version of the plan every year, Fridriksson said.

In past years, the preference of the federal government has largely determined what has been funded, Fridriksson said.

Based on feedback, Fridriksson said federal authorities currently seem to prefer projects that accommo-

date not only cars but pedes-trians, buses and cyclists.

Improvements to the Wheaton Way corridor are high on the city’s wish list, Fridriksson said. Because the upgrade is focused on making the section more pedestrian-friendly, includ-ing streetlight and sidewalk improvements, and possibly a bike lane, Fridriksson said he thought funding for the plan was likely.

Some projects on the list are slated to break ground in

the first half of 2012, while others have been on the list for decades and will likely stay there for some time, Fridriksson said.

Other projects have sat on the list for years, or even decades, without ever find-ing funds. Improvements to Arsenal Way at Patten Avenue have been on the list since 1986, Fridriksson said.

Fridriksson said improve-ments to Pacific Avenue from Sixth Street to Evergreen Park and to the intersec-

STAFF REPORT

A pair of 10-year-old stu-dents were arrested Tuesday at Silverdale Elementary School after a teacher discovered a handgun in a backpack.

Kitsap County Sheriff ’s deputies arrested the two boys without incident for conspira-cy to commit assault at about 3 p.m. Tuesdsay, according to a sheriff ’s office release.

The arrest came about after one of the boys asked the other earlier this week to bring one of his father’s guns to school. The second boy complied, and Tuesday morning brought a .40 cali-ber semiautomatic pistol to a school bus stop the boys shared, according to the release.

Authorities did not release names of those arrested

The first boy said to the second that he wanted to use the gun to assault members

of his own family, authori-ties said.

The two boys tried and failed to fire the weapon in a clearing near the bus stop, then put the gun in one of their backpacks and boarded a school bus. On the bus they showed the gun to other stu-dents. After the pair arrived at school the presence of the gun became known to a teacher at the school, who found the gun and brought it to the school’s office, accord-ing to the release.

A responding deputy ren-dered the weapon safe, find-ing it loaded and with the safety off but without a round in the chamber. Sheriff ’s detectives then arrived and arrested both boys.

Both boys face charges of conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon. The second boy also faces two charges relating to unlaw-ful possession of a firearm, according to the release.

An incident of child neglect by a 26-year-old Bremerton woman was reported Oct. 13.

The incident was reported taking place on 11th Street east of Naval Avenue at about 3:54 p.m. The caller said a

female in a green Oldsmobile was driving with three “ u n r e s t r a i n e d children” and one of the chil-dren was hang-ing halfway out of the rear win-dow, according to police reports.

A patrol check of the area from Warren to Callow avenues on 11th Street turned up

negative. The woman and her vehicle were not located. The police offi-cer ran a search of the driver’s license plate number, provided by the caller, and discovered that the 26-year-old woman has a “history of issues,” according to reports.

The officer drove to the woman’s residence and located a pickup truck with a child booster seat in the bed of the truck. The report was forwarded to child protective ser-vices.

Woman throws mac and cheese on state patrol vehicle

A 31-year-old Port Orchard woman was arrested for attempted assault, malicious mis-chief and reckless driv-ing in Bremerton Oct. 12. The incident included throwing a bowl of maca-roni and cheese on a state patrol vehicle.

Bremerton police offi-cers arrived to the area of Gregory Way and State Avenue at about 4:27 p.m. for a reported road rage incident. An officer observed macaroni and cheese on the hood of a state patrol sergeant’s vehicle. When the officer asked the woman what happened, she responded that she had been stalked by an ex-boyfriend who drove the same vehicle, a silver Honda Pilot, as the

sergeant. She said that she has some mental problems and had been placed on new medication, accord-ing to police reports.

The state patrol ser-geant said he was driving west on State Highway 16 when the woman pulled behind him in her vehicle following closely. It con-tinued onto State Route 304 into Bremerton, according to reports. When the sergeant was at a stoplight at State Route 304 and Farragut Street, the woman got out of the vehicle and threw a bowl of macaroni and cheese onto the hood of the ser-geant’s vehicle and anoth-er nearby vehicle. When the light turned green, the woman’s vehicle pulled ahead and turned onto State Avenue and Gregory Way when she got out of her vehicle, the sergeant said.

The woman held a rock above her head in an aggressive manner and the sergeant placed his hand on his duty fire-arm, identifying himself and ordering her to stop. The woman dropped the rock and she and her 51-year-old boyfriend became cooperative. She was arrested and booked into Kitsap County jail

for third-degree attempt-ed assault, third-degree malicious mischief and reckless driving. The report was forwarded to the prosecutor’s office.

A 28 -yea r-old Bremerton man had his car taken and called police but did not want to report it as stolen Oct. 12.

The man told a police officer that three days prior, he and a 26-year-old man were driving on Fifth Street when the 28-year-old had to use a restroom. The 26-year-old called a friend who lived nearby and they stopped there. The 28-year-old left the key and the other man in his car while he went to use the restroom. When he returned, his blue 1990 Cadillac DeVille was gone.

The 28-year-old walked home and called the 26-year-old but was unable to get ahold of him.

He doesn’t know the last name of the 26-year-old. When the officer asked if he wanted to report his vehicle as stolen, the man replied “no.” The officer asked a second time and the man said, “No, I just want it back.”

The vehicle owner requested a phone call if his car is located. He provided the officer with the phone number of the 26-year-old. When the officer called the phone number, a man who would not identify him-self answered. The report was for information.

Two East Bremerton arson fires appear to be related

Two Monday morning fires in East Bremerton appear to be related, according to a release from Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue.

Firefighters responded to a structure fire at the Faith Temple Church located on Trenton Avenue at about 3:34 a.m. They arrived at about 3:38 a.m.

and observed f lames near the back of the church. The fire was quickly extin-guished and the building suffered minor fire and smoke damage.

Later at about 7:17 a.m., a call was received in ref-erence to a structure fire at a single family residence in the 2900 block of Helm Street. Firefighters arrived on scene at 7:25 a.m. and found a small smolder-ing fire on the exterior corner of the garage. The homeowner discovered his garage had filled with smoke and called 9-1-1. The scene was cleared at 9:04 a.m.

Both fires were consid-ered suspicious and the Fire Marshal was noti-fied. Kitsap County Fire Marshal David Lynam feels that the two inci-dents are related, accord-ing to the release. The FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were notified.

Pain is, in fact, temporary. I thought that since this would be my second marathon, it would be easier. Nope. I had forgotten how painful run-ning a marathon was until I was at about mile 20 of the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco Sunday.

I was a high school cross-country runner. I wasn’t

particularly fast — but I did take pride in my 6 minutes, 3 seconds mile time in track — and have kept running in the years since. I race the occa-sional 5K, have completed 10 half marathons, so running isn’t foreign to me.

The pain of a marathon seemed brand new.

My friend Joanna and I hoped we would PR — set a personal record time — for this race and for the first 20

miles we were on track to do just that. The race started downtown as the sun was rising and we ran through the city’s streets, passed Fisherman’s Wharf and through Golden Gate Park. It was a scenic route. There was cheering and some bands per-forming along the course. We had the companion of many other women — the race was slated with more than 22,000 registrants — who were determined to receive their Tiffany & Co. necklace at the finish line. Instead of a finisher’s medal like in most races, runners earned a silver Tiffany’s necklace especially made for this race.

But, there were 26.2 miles we needed to run before we would get that.

“When it gets tough, I just think ‘Na-ta-lie, Na-ta-lie’” Joanna said in a rhythmic tone as she interrupted a long stretch of silence between the two of us. We were some-where pass the half way point and the 13-plus miles of pounding the pavement was beginning to take a toll on our bodies.

We were running for

Natalie. The reason I first ran a full marathon last year was because of Natalie. Joanna and I joined Team In Training and fundraised money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society while training for the Vancouver Marathon. Before her 19th birthday, Natalie’s fight with leukemia came to an end in 2006. The race was in honor and in memory of our friend. And, we were doing it again. Despite say-ing after the Vancouver race that we would never run a full marathon, here we were. Natalie would probably say we were crazy, although she was polite so she would have phrased it wittier.

I was confident in our training for the race. We prac-ticed taking fuel throughout our long runs and stuffed ample packages of Gu in our back pockets for this race. At the water stations, we took a water cup and a Gatorade cup to make sure we were getting electrolytes. But, after mile 20, it felt as though maybe I didn’t train adequately. Or, my body just isn’t meant to run full marathons. My knees down to my feet were in pain

for the last five to six miles. I can’t even explain what exactly hurt but with every step I took, it was a painful sensation everywhere.

“Why do I enjoy doing this?” I thought. I didn’t have an answer at that time.

The last three miles felt like the longest three miles of my life. And it was a straight-away to the finish so I could sort of see the finish off in the distance, but it seemed as though I was not getting any closer to it.

When I was less than a mile away from the finish, I asked a spectator if the finish line was at the blue banner. She said it was. Being in pain must make me temporarily color blind because the ban-ner was actually purple.

I dug deep and gave a kick for the last few meters and upon approaching the finish line I heard the announcer yell my hometown followed by my name. I tried to smile. I’m not sure if I actually did.

What was my first thought?

I’m never doing this ever again.

I wouldn’t be surprised if

most runners have this same thought after a marathon. But, people keep doing them. The Poulsbo Marathon, in its second year and also on Sunday, saw an increase in its full marathon participants.

Joanna came in about two minutes after me. My final time was 4 hours, 25 minutes, 56 seconds, which was about two minutes slower than my first marathon time. It’s a little disappointing but I’m satisfied that I was able to fin-ish the race without walking. And, that I am able to walk right now.

In general, I run because it relieves me of stress. It keeps me healthy. It clears my mind. It keeps me social — if I decide to run with friends. I can’t see myself ever not run-ning. With marathons, I’m in the most pain I have ever been in my life. Sometimes I’m at the point where I can’t muster up coherent words with my running partner. But, it’s addicting. Joanna and I are already discussing where our next full marathon should be.

The story of a second marathon — painful, but worth it

Portland Police have arrested 20-year-oldAlexander Nelson of Port Orchard, who alleg-edly shot a man in Bremerton on Tuesday during a drug deal gone awry.

The suspect was booked this morning at the Multnomah County Jail.

He allegedly shot a 26-year-old Bremerton man multiple times around 9 p.m. Tuesday, in the 1100 block of 12th Street in Bremerton following an argu-ment over “what is believed to be an illegal drug transac-tion,” according to Sgt. Kevin Crane with the Bremerton Police Department.

The dispute broke out when the suspect, victim and sev-eral others were riding in a car together, according to Bremerton detectives.

The argument escalated “and moved out of the vehi-cle into the parking lot of an apartment complex,” accord-ing to the police report.

Nelson and his associates allegedly left the scene in the

vehicle, and the others with the victim fled on foot.

Bremerton police arrived and found the victim in seri-ous condition – with multiple gunshot wounds – and pro-vided medical aid until EMS units arrived.

The victim was taken to Harrison Medical Center and then airlifted toHarborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he went through a sur-gery that lasted several hours.

He is now in “critical but stable” condition, according to Bremerton police.

Police found the suspect vehicle at a residence on Glenwood Road in South Kitsap.

Kitsap County Superior Court issued a warrant for Nelson’s arrest for attempted first-degree murder, with bail at $500,000.

Nelson was found Wednesday at Portland’s Legacy Emanuel Hospital, where he went for treatment of a broken jaw.

Hillside stabilization work that caused traffic delays on State Route 3 between Gorst and Bremerton the past two months has been completed.

During the two-month proj-ect to stabilize rocky outcrop-pings above the busy highway, the four traffic lanes were shifted and narrowed and the

speed limit was reduced from 50 mph to 35 mph.

The project had Washington State Department of Transportation crews remov-ing loose rock, installing fenc-es and securing boulders in the Windy Point area.

Pre-construction lane widths and a speed limit of 50 mph

have resumed in the area, which has 71,000 motorists driving through daily.

Entering the third week of Kitsap County’s nuisance case against the Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club, witnesses continued to provide testimo-ny in Pierce County Superior Court on what they believe the dangers of the shooting club’s operations are.

Nine neighbors to the range submitted written declarations last year stating their reasons for the nuisance or concern for their safety because of the nearby shoot-ing range along the Seabeck Highway. Two were a mar-ried couple with separate declarations describing the same incident of what they concluded was a stray bullet that struck their garage door.

After years of noise and safety complaints from neighbors of the gun club,

Kitsap County Prosecutor Russell Hauge filed the lawsuit against the Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club in September 2010.

According to state law, “every act unlawfully done and every omission to per-form a duty” that will “annoy, injure or endanger the safety, health, comfort, or repose of any considerable number of persons” is considered a pub-lic nuisance.

Gary Koon, a former reserve officer with the Marine Corps gave fact and expert testimony last Thursday. He and his fam-ily have been living in the Whisper Ridge residential area for 2.5 years.

Koon, with the help of an expert from Fort Lewis, cre-ated a “surface danger zone” map to determine how far ricocheted bullets could travel from the Seabeck gun club. These types of maps are consistently defined and used by Marine and Army troops, Koon said. He added

that they are based on phys-ics — on the angle of impact on the target. According to Koon’s map, a .50-caliber weapon could shoot across Dyes Inlet.

“It’s appropriate to apply military SDZs to a civilian range,” Koon said.

During cross-examination Koon said the noise from the range is not constant throughout the day but that they can “count on it” a cou-ple of times a day. He said he had not taken any decibel readings of the noise. The noise wasn’t loud enough for him to want to sell his home, he said.

Koon testified that usina a metal detector, he had found several stray bullets outside of the range.

When Brian Chenoweth, the gun club’s attorney, asked Koon why he didn’t alert the club of his safety concerns of stray bullets leaving the range, he responded, “I’m not sure why.”

Arnold Teves, Jr., the CEO of the Firearms Academy of Hawaii based in Poulsbo, provided testimony last Thursday as well.

From late 2004 to spring 2010, the academy used the Seabeck range to provide shooting training for Navy personnel. Many other rang-es were examined before selecting the Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club, he said.

“This was the only one that met all the safety regula-tions,” Teves said.

Teves’ testimony was only to the club’s pistol range because that was the only one that the group used. He

is also a member of the club.

James Reynolds, a member of the Poulsbo Sportsman Club, also pro-vided testimony last week. The shooting range is a half mile north of Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor’s main gate.

A month ago, one neighbor to the north complained of noise after a few trees had been cut down. He said for the most part, the club’s rela-tionship with the neigh-bors is good.

The baff les at the Poulsbo club are set at 7 feet high, he said. The club is a National Rifle Associat ion-af f i l iated club, which means they have NRA insurance, he added.

The trial began Sept. 28 and the county’s witness-es and experts have been giving testimony for more than two weeks. Marcus Carter, Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club’s executive officer, took the stand and began giving his testimo-ny Tuesday. The trial was originally expected to last two weeks.

“We believe in quality of evidence than quantity,” said Carter. He added that it is “very possible” that the trial could be wrapped up by Wednesday.

Pierce County Superior Court Judge Susan Serko may visit the range dur-ing trial although no date is set and a visit depends on how trial progresses, Carter said.

The Kitsap County Planning Commission Tuesday approved the design and master plan for the Central Kitsap Community Campus.

“There’s a lot of develop-mental potential on this site,” said Angie Silva, special proj-ects planner with the county.

Silva said throughout the 20-year span of discussion on the campus, the key themes have always involved it being a gathering place for civic, cultural and recreational opportunities.

Currently, the Haselwood Family YMCA that opened in June is the only new occupant of the 12-acre site.

The plan’s priority uses of the campus continue to be for a library, performing arts center, senior housing, open space and retail. The county and Kitsap Regional Library are constructing a memo-randum of understanding to see how they can finance a feasibility study to see if a new Silverdale library on the campus is of interest to the community, Silva said.

There will be a phased approach and parking will either be underneath build-ings or be a centralized park-ing structure. The design standards provide for flex-ibility by future developers,

Silva said. Josh Fisher, who grew up

in Kitsap County and lives in Bremerton, was the only per-son to give public testimony who was not involved with the campus design committee.

“I share a vision to see this developed,” said Fisher, 25.

Fisher sutdies sustainabil-ity and design at Olympic College and plans to become an architect.

He shared his own ideas for the campus including creat-ing a parking structure that has space for senior housing or retail above it. The park-ing structure could also have material wrapped around it to make it appear to be public art, he added.

Another idea Fisher had is to include an outdoor space on the campus for theater or music performances.

“Kitsap County is classy,” he said.

Silva said the next steps in the process would be for the county commissioners to hold a public hearing and hopefully adopt the plan in January.

Robert Moyer, presi-dent of the Central Kitsap Community Council and a member of the campus design committee, said it’s important for organizations that want to build on the site to have guid-ance — and the plan would do that.

“It’s to get the meat on the bones,” Moyer said.

The Bremerton City Council Wednesday con-sidered whether or not to pay $75,000 to the state for pedestrian improvements to the new Manette Bridge, which they say never received council approval.

Many on the coun-cil expressed concern for the apparent way the deal was made to build a con-crete barrier between the roadway and the sidewalk, including that the city would pay up to $75,000 for the work.

One councilmem-ber, Adam Brockus, said he’d brought information regarding the addition to a council study session last spring.

According to a pre-sentation given to city council by city engineer Gunnar Firdriksson, dur-ing an Oct. 12 study ses-sion, the city is responsible

to pay. In his summary, Firdriksson wrote that the additional work was agreed to during a March 15 Manette Community Meeting attended by com-munity members, city and state staff as well as elected officials.

The $300,000 barrier wall was not originally included in the final plans because concerns for costs and no specific installa-tion instructions, accord-ing to papers in the coun-cil member’s packets for Wednesday’s meeting.

On March 18, then Director of Public Works and Utilities Vincent Akhimie sent a letter to the state administrator con-firming an “understand-ing” of proposed changes to the plan between the city and the Washington State Department of Transportation, who is building the bridge.

“The city of Bremerton agrees to fund its portion

of the costs of the changes at an amount less than or equal to $75,000,” wrote Akhimie, before noting that the additional expense was not actually in the budget.

The current Director of Public Works Alan Lobdell said the deal should have never been made the way it was. He just learned about the work three weeks ago. Its the job of the people we elect to decide how and what money is spent on, he said.

“In this case they weren’t given the opportunity,” Lobdell said.

Speaking for DOT, Kelly Stowe said a letter from the director of public works was approval enough for the state. It’s equivalent to the chief engineer, she said.

“That’s all we need to move forward,” she said.

Lobdell described the unanticipated $75,000 expenses’ effect to the public works budget as a “sting” but said the city can absorb the cost in its Arterial Street Fund. The

money would come from several other projects that have been shelved he said.

Lobdell was unable to specifically identify which

projects would forfeit funding to cover the barri-er wall costs or if those had been approved by council vote.

No member of the city council responded to a request for comment on the issue.

The Walker-Ames house in Port Gamble is considered one of the most haunted homes in Western Washington. Erin Jennings / Kitsap Week

BY ERIN JENNINGSKitsap Week

The historic town of Port Gamble, with its pristine grounds and

buildings, looks as if it is a movie set.

But exactly what type of movie? Perhaps the ghostly variety.

“In historical sites that are well maintained, ghosts tend to be well kept too,” said Neil McNeill, a Seattle-based paranormal research-er and educator.

McNeill is among the seven lecturers speaking at the second annual Port Gamble Ghost Conference held during the last week-end of October.

Th e conference, which began as an off shoot of the popular Port Gamble Ghost Walks, allows people to explore and dig deeper into the paranormal.

Founded in 1853, the

mill town of Port Gamble has a history of unexplained happenings that take place throughout the small town.

In the community center (where the town morgue was housed in the basement), people have reported hearing voices and footsteps above them —when no one is on the top fl oor.

In the old service station, which is now Mike's Four Star BBQ, Pete Orbea was working in the back room when he said a tool fl ew six feet, banged against the wall and crashed to the ground. Scary? Yes. Th e event was even more frightening con-sidering Orbea was the only person in the room.

When a worker was fi x-ing some pipes underneath one house in town, he stumbled upon an old doll. Th inking it was intriguing; he took the doll and then later realized his cell phone was missing. Believing

that the two events were somehow connected, he brought the doll back to where he found it and the next day his cell phone was sitting on the front porch of the house.

But perhaps the most bone chilling, goose bump producing building in Port Gamble is the Walker-Ames house. Built in 1888, the Walker-Ames is a promi-nent building on the main street of town. With its

Victorian architecture and delightful paint colors, it’s hard to believe from the outside that scary things have been reported on the inside.

Port Gamble employee Kayla McAfee said the Walker-Ames is the only property in town that makes her uncomfortable. On a recent tour of the house, McAfee said, “I al-ways get achy in this house.”

Th e grand staircase, stained glass windows and ornate woodwork in the house is juxtaposed with peeling wallpaper, a stained bathtub and a basement that could frighten Stephen King.

“Th e Walker-Ames house is one of, if not the most haunted locations in West-ern Washington,” McNeill said.

According to McAfee, it's believed that a male spirit haunts the basement. Th e rumor is a boy once lived in the Walker-Ames house

and suff ered from a mental illness. His mother didn't know how to care for him and kept him locked in the basement. Because of that, he isn't fond of females and has been known to pull women's hair. Camera and cell phone batteries that are fully charged have been said to completely drain when brought into the basement.

Port Gamble Ghost Conference to discuss things that go bump in

the night

The town’s general store is next door to the Walker-Ames house. The house has been vacant for years, but witnesses report seeing a woman and child in these upstairs windows. Erin Jennings / Kitsap Week

“The Walker-Ames house is one of, if not the most haunted locations in Western Washington.”

Neil McNeill

The attic of the Walker-Ames house has large picture windows covered with gauze curtains. The effect is an eerie glow which causes one’s imagination to wander. Erin Jennings / Kitsap Week

See GHOST CONFERENCE,Page 3

Th e town’s general store is next door to the Walker-Ames house and witnesses report seeing a woman and child in the upstairs win-dows —and the house has been vacant for years.

Diff erent paranormal investigating groups have spent the night in the house and oft en try to lure the spirits with candy, crayons and toys, but always try to be respectful. A topic covered at the conference is investigation protocol and how to be respectful and ask for permission of the spirits. Inside the Walker-Ames house there are des-ignated areas marked with yellow caution tape where the ghosts can seek refuge —and investigators are not allowed in those areas.

At the conference, McNeill will discuss the notion of mind over matter in his lecture “Exhibit X: Th e proof and problem of paranormal evidence.” He believes that some inves-tigators create evidence of ghosts —such as images on fi lm, sound recordings and electrical disturbances

—unintentionally. “It’s a radical idea but

one generally thought to be what happens with a pol-tergeist,” he said.

Th e theory goes that stress-induced feelings manifest in energy that cause doors to slam and books to fall. And oft en the blame is placed on ghosts when it should actually be directed towards humans.

“Th e idea of parapsy-chology is really spooky and interesting in itself,” McNeill said.

Among other topics discussed at the conference are “Haunts of the Pacifi c Northwest” and “Are all churches ‘against’ the para-normal?” Authors Gregg Olsen and Karen Frazier discuss the paranormal in their writing.

Th e conference includes a Ghost Walk on Friday night and optional ghost investigations on Saturday evening.

“Anyone with a remote interest in ghosts, or just wants to get in the mood for Halloween should at-tend,” McNeill said. “Th ey’ll learn, have fun and get the chance to explore a real haunted house.”

BY ANDY PERDUE AND ERIC DEGERMANWine Press Northwest

Throughout its his-tory, the Pacifi c Northwest has been about explo-

ration, and we continue that tradition with our wines. We are not a region that drinks just Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Gris. We are a region that embraces new and unusual grape varieties.

In the Pacifi c Northwest, we have so many small-production varieties to try. Muscat in its various forms has been grown here for more than a half-century, and many newer German grapes developed in the past 100 years have been planted in some quantity in British Columbia.

Today, we look at some of the unusual varieties, and we encourage you to search them out and see what you think. Almost all of these will need to be purchased directly from the winery, though check with your favorite wine merchant to see if they can order them for you.

■ JoieFarm 2010 Mus-cat, Okanagan Valley, $28 CDN: Dry Muscats are rare to fi nd; simply put, they just aren’t made. And dry Muscats this delicious are a treasure, but we come to expect greatness from Heidi Noble and Michael Dinn, who make some of the most beautiful wines anywhere. Th is wine, made with the rare Yellow Muscat grape, opens with amazing aromas of delicate orange blossoms

and rosewa-ter, followed by dramatic fl avors of oranges and lemons. Th e acidity is simply stun-ning, and everything about this wine is bal-anced and beautiful.

■ Bar-nard Grif-fi n 2010 Orange Muscat, Columbia Valley, $17: Muscat is actually a family of grapes, of which there are more than a half-dozen diff erent varieties. Orange Muscat, which re-veals orange aromas and fl avors, is one of the rarest. Barnard Grif-fi n in Richland, Wash., has made an Orange Muscat for a few years with great success. Th is opens with tell-tale aromas of orange blossoms, as well as cloves, rosewater and baklava. On the palate, it off ers fl avors of orange zest and straw-berries. It’s an off -dry wine that is delicious and well balanced.

■ Abacela Vineyards & Winery 2010 Estate Albariño, Umpqua Valley, $18: Th is racy white wine is

at home on the Iberian Penin-sula, perhaps most famously in Spain. Abacela owner Earl Jones is helping to bring it to promi-nence in the Pacifi c North-west, and his latest vintage is another beauty. It is clean, crisp and inviting on the nose, with refresh-ing aromas of honeydew mel-ons, lemons, pineapples and cucumbers. On the palate, the acidity is simply dazzling with amazing bright-ness and fl avors of limes and quince. Th is is a beautiful food wine, and we can easily imagine it with oysters or a crab

dip.■ Carpenter Creek 2009

Late Harvest Siegerrebe, Puget Sound, $24: Th is variety, created in 1929 in Germany, is a cross of Madeleine Angevine and Gewürztraminer, and its name means “victory wine.” Purportedly, the grape was brought into North America by the owners of Bainbridge Island Winery west of Seattle, so its history in the Puget Sound region is lengthy. Th is version is superb, revealing aromas of limes and apples, followed

by sweet, ripe fl avors of orchard and stone fruit, all backed with bright acidity.

■ Montinore Estate 2010 Organic Estate Müller-Th urgau, Willamette Val-ley, $12: Th is variety was created in 1882 by Dr. Her-mann Müller in the Swiss canton of Th urgau, who crossed Riesling with Mad-eleine Royale. It is Germa-ny’s second-most-planted grape (aft er Riesling) and a fair bit is grown in Oregon and Washington west of the Cascade Mountains. Th is version opens with aromas of apples, limes and miner-als, followed by round, plump fl avors of ripe peaches and sweet apples. It’s a fun, tasty wine.

■ 3 Horse Ranch Vine-yards 2008 Estate Rous-sanne, Snake River Valley, $19: Viticulturists in the emerging Snake River Val-ley are experimenting with new varieties to see what will grow in their high-altitude volcanic soils. Th is Roussanne off ers aromas of lemons, oranges and grape-fruits, followed by rich fl avors of bold, delicious lemons. It’s a lovely wine.

Questions of my own

You know me as Ask Erin, but I have questions of my own that need

answering. I'm turning the tables this week and asking for your help.

1. Why do I keep seeing multiple shoes on the side of the road?

I think I’ve fi gured out the answer for children’s shoes: an open car window, plus bored tod-dler, equals lost shoes.

But explain the men’s dress loafer I saw, or the fl ip-fl op. Do that many people leave their shoes on top of their car and drive away? Just last week I saw fi ve shoes alongside the road during my 10-mile drive to the offi ce.

2. Why hasn’t anyone cre-ated a dog food that turns dog waste into a bright neon color, rather than its current camoufl age color of “wet-leaf brown”?

3. Do fi re alarm manu-facturers deliberately make their alarms so they start “chirping” aft er midnight?

4. What’s with the new kale fascination, and what are some tasty ways to prepare it?

5. Why do some British singers lose their accents when they sing? Current pop-sensation ADELE sounds like she hails from the middle of America when she sings, not her

native London, England. Does she purposely drop her accent to Americanize her voice?

6. Aft er I watch a scary movie, why do my dogs

bark in-cessantly at my clos-et door or whimper at the win-dow? How do they know I’m on edge?

7. Why do I oft en get a bad case of the hiccups aft er eat-ing raw carrots?

8. How do I handle the current fl y infestation in my house? I’m no Mr. Clean, but I do a fair job of keeping my house decent. Where are the fl ies coming from and how do I get rid of them? Th ey are smart and disappear when I have a fl y swatter in hand.

So there you have it. Th ose are the questions that keep me awake at night. And as always, if you have questions of your own—from the practical to the absurd, send them my way and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Meanwhile, my hiccups and I await your reply.

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND REVIEWFrisky cast strong in BPA’s ‘CATS’: Following on the heels of staging the blockbuster “Chicago,” Bainbridge Performing Arts is presenting Broadway’s second-longest running musical, “CATS.”“It’s a difficult show to do – with no lines, just the music,” Director Steven Fogell said. Starting with the imaginative play by Andew Lloyd Webber based on T.S. Eliot’s poetry, the BPA version puts a contemporary twist on the classic.Casting turned up quite a few new faces, as well as mainstays from Bainbridge’s formidable talent pool.Powerful vocals abound – notably opera-trained Lisa Mandelkorn who performs an aria with Bainbridge vocal coach Mark Power – and Shelli Shelton, singing Grizabella’s memorable tune “Memories.” Chris Kolbegger provides vocal direction.— BainbridgeReview.com.

BREMERTON PATRIOTFor the love of baking — Charleston bakery owner is on 30 years of baking pink champagne cakes: 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 tradition.”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 history of the pink champagne 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 anyone can agree on it,” he said. — BremertonPatriot.com.CENTRAL KITSAP REPORTERGoing mobile — Silverdale mechanic starts mobile service and becomes personal mechanic to many: Two years ago Silverdale resident Colin Shaughnessy conducted a little business experiment to see if he could start and run a mobile auto repair service as a successful small business.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 employer’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 originally. 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. — CentralKitsapReporter.com.NORTH KITSAP HERALDBremerton sergeant is selected as new deputy police chief of Poulsbo: Poulsbo’s new deputy police chief was the best overall recruit in her class, the first female sergeant in her department’s history, and honored by the Red Cross for saving a life at a vehicle collision in 2010.

Bremerton Police Sgt. Wendy L. Davis came out on top of a field of 40 candidates to become Poulsbo’s new deputy chief. Chief Dennis Swiney announced her hire Tuesday and said her first day on the job will be Nov. 2.“She is very professional, competent, thorough, and has the desire and energy to be very successful here,” Swiney said. — NorthKitsapHerald.com.PORT ORCHARD INDEPENDENTState Route 3 rock stabilization work complete: Hillside stabilization work that caused traffic delays on State Route 3 between Gorst and Bremerton the past two months has been

completed.During the two-month project to stabilize rocky outcroppings above the busy highway, the four traffic lanes were shifted

and narrowed and the speed limit was reduced from 50 mph to 35 mph.— PortOrchardIndependent.com.

Poulsbo native Bruce Wood’s film, “Cassadaga,” premieres Oct. 22 at Hollywood’s Screamfest Horror Film Festival. Wood graduated from North Kitsap High School in 1994. See page 7 for the story about “Cassadaga,” a thriller set in a spiritualist camp in Florida.

BY RICHARD WALKERKitsap Week

There was a time when screen-writer Bruce Wood thought he

wanted to be a dentist. “Aft er a job shadow, I

knew I couldn’t drill on people’s teeth,” he said.

Th at forced him onto a circuitous route that ultimately led to Holly-wood, where his supernatu-ral thriller, “Cassadaga,” premieres Oct. 22 at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival, referred to in the industry as the “Sundance of Horror.”

Wood, whose fi lm career includes grip on the short drama/horror “Th e Fury's Prey” (2006) and writer of the award-winning short drama “Interconnected” (2007), said “Cassadaga” is his new calling card — the cast of the full-length fea-ture fi lm includes Acad-emy Award winner Louise Fletcher (“One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,” 1975).

Th e cast also stars Kelen Coleman (“Children of the Corn: Genesis”), and Kevin Alejandro (“True Blood,” “Southland”).

“Cassadaga” is di-rected by Anthony DiBlasi (“Dread,” “Midnight Meat Train”). Devastated by the death of her younger sister, Lily Morel seeks solace at the spiritualist community of Cassadaga. But instead of fi nding closure during a seance, she contacts some-

thing else — the venge-ful ghost of a murdered young woman. With her life crumbling all around her, Lily races to unravel the mysterious circum-stances surrounding the woman’s death – a task that will bring her face-to-face with a sadistic serial killer known only as “Geppetto.”

Wood, 35, graduated from North Kitsap High School in 1994. He is the son of Michael and Valerie Wood of Poulsbo; his father is a Merchant Marine captain, his mother owns Material Girls Quilts in Silverdale.

Wood earned a biology degree at Eastern Washing-ton University, then, aft er dabbling in some chiro-practic studies, pursued a graduate degree in screen-writing at the University of Miami.

While at Miami, he wrote the short fi lm, “Intercon-nected,” which won Best Picture, Best Director and Best Editing at the Canes Film Festival in Miami. Th e fi lm was a semifi nalist in the American Gem Screen-writing Competition and toured Europe as part of the Marbella International Film Festival.

He then co-wrote a romantic comedy set on Easter Island, but he and his co-writer could only raise half of the $4 million needed to produce the fi lm.

“I always enjoyed science fi ction and horror fi lms,

and I thought we had an untapped resource here in Cassadaga,” Wood said. Cassadaga, Fla., is home to the Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp, founded in 1895. Its website tells of its “unusual architecture, and the spirit activity that still goes on within the homes of present day mediums … Hear how seances and other physical phenomena are performed and taught here at the Camp.”

Wood, who lives midway between Cassadaga and Orlando, successfully pitched the story to a group of investors. He began writ-ing “Cassadaga” in October 2009; shooting began in October 2010. His co-writer is Scott Poiley, his partner in PoileyWood Entertain-ment.

Wood is looking forward

to his fi lm premiere “with a mix of excitement and anxiety.” Shortly aft er the premiere, shooting starts on Wood’s drama/thriller, tentatively titled “Mission-ary.”

Wood said he wants to someday teach fi lm and writing on the college level. He’s been in front of the camera as an extra; is acting in his future?

“No. I don’t think I’m a

very good actor,” he said. You can follow “Cas-

sadaga” at www.facebook.com/cassadagafi lm, and on Twitter at www.twitter.com/#!/CassadagaFilm.

Socks (grey&white 6yr female) & Sage (white&tabby 5yr shorthaired male)are mother and son. They came to us when their family moved. Both cats are very friendly though a bit shy at first. Sage is a petite girl who likes to have her chin rubbed, Sage is a medium sized boy who likes to sit in the window and

watch what’s going on outdoors. Both Socks and Sage enjoy sitting in the sun on our fenced in porches and watching the birds at the feeders. They find each other at nap and bedtime and like to settle in together. We’d like to find them a home together but each is available separately also. They will be at the Poulsbo

Petco this week hoping to meet their new family.

Immediately aft er graduating high school, Janet Cramer attended Th e American Academy of Art in Chicago and then became a successful fashion model in New York City — which led to a career as special assistant to Hattie Carnegie. She then opened and ran her own thriving women’s designer clothing store for 24 years.

Aft er selling her store, she went back to her fi rst love — painting. Cramer was a juried member of the Arizona Watercolor As-sociation and an associate member of the American Watercolor Society. Her work has been featured in many gallery shows, including special exhibits

and magazines, and her paintings are part of many private and public collec-tions.

Since her death in 2009, her two daughters have been trying to fi nd mean-ingful ways to continue to share her art with the world.

Her daughters oft en heard their mother tell the story of how Cramer’s par-ents scrimped and saved so they could send her to art school in the 1930’s. Th ey knew it was her passion and wanted her to fulfi ll her dream.

Now her daughters are selling their mother’s paint-ings as a way to raise funds for local art students.

“Th e whole idea that

her paintings now might help someone fulfi ll their dream would make her very happy,” daughter Nancy Heckler wrote.

“McBane Family’s Remains Found in Abandoned Barn

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

to volunteer to go…are you?

JANET CRAMER NCA SCHOLARSHIP

Cramer’s art is for sale at the Artists’ Edge, 18723 State Route 305, Poulsbo. There will be a reception Oct. 21 from 3-8 p.m. at the store. For more information, visit www.artistsedge.com.

As prices at the pump remain high, it’s making other things look down-right cheap. One of them is interior painting — the cost of painting a room is now about the same as the cost of a fi ll-up.

According to Debbie Zimmer, spokesperson for the Paint Quality Institute, “Even the highest qual-ity interior paint can be purchased for about $50 a gallon, which is oft en enough to paint a good-sized room, or even apply two coats to a small one. Th row in a brush, roller and paint pan, and the cost is still well under $100 – or roughly the cost of gassing up a minivan.”

Th e aff ordability of

interior painting has not escaped the attention of consumers, especially in relation to other home proj-ects. In a recent Institute survey, 92 percent of the respondents said they were more likely to paint, rather than do other types of re-modeling, given the current economic environment.

“Clearly, low cost is part of the appeal of interior painting, particularly at this point in time, but consumers also know that a fresh coat of paint can greatly beautify a room,” Zimmer said. “Th at’s the real secret to the popularity of painting — the ability to completely transform a space with minimal cost and eff ort.”

If you’re one of the many who are planning to paint this season, what should you know before you pick up brush and roller? Zim-mer off ers some advice.

“Good paint perfor-mance de-pends on good paint adhe-sion, and paint adheres best to surfaces that are clean and sound,” she says.

Before painting, remove dust and dirt from walls and other surfaces with a detergent-water solution. Rinse and allow to dry. Fill cracks and holes with spackling compound and sand them smooth aft er the compound dries. Prime

stains with a stain-blocking primer to prevent the dis-coloration from bleeding through the new paint.

“It’s also wise to use only high qual-

ity brushes and rollers,”

Zimmer said. “Th ey apply the paint more evenly and make application almost eff ortless.” When applying any latex paint, make sure the brushes and rollers have bristles and covers made of a synthetic material like polyester; they’ll hold up better when exposed to water-based paint.

Most importantly, Zim-mer recommends that consumers use top quality paints in order to make the work easier and to get the best long-term perfor-mance.

“In terms of application, top quality paints spatter less, go on more easily, and tend not to show brush and roller marks,” she said. “Th ey also tend to cover the old color in fewer coats, which can save a lot of time, eff ort and money.”

So, if the cost of gas has you perturbed, purchase some paint instead. You’ll get a lot of mileage out of just a single gallon — very likely, enough to completely transform the appearance of a room in your home.
