Clockwise from top left, Roy, Sally, Charles and Reuben Gregson dress up as practice for Saturday’s SteamWrights Convention.
By LYNSI BURTONStaff writer
A group of science fiction and history enthusiasts hope to turn a Bremerton parking lot
into a world reminiscent of a Jules Verne novel Saturday, with Victorian-era costumes, steam-powered weap-ons and hand-made futuristic gadgets in tow.
“We’re looking for something that doesn’t exist in our world right now,” said Doug Odell, proprietor at Ye Olde Dragon’s Horde Games and Collectables in Silverdale.
Odell is one of a growing group of fans of steampunk, a fantasy genre that, much like medieval or Dungeons and Dragons role playing, involves elaborate costumes and storylines, but features futuristic steam-powered
props in an Old West era.Kitsap County’s first steampunk
event, the SteamWrights Convention, will take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at Pacific Northwest Costume on Riddell Road. Tracyton web designer Scott Gregson wanted to host such an event to bring atten-tion to the steampunk costumes that

During his 16 years as a middle school special edu-cation teacher, John Welsh lamented that by the time students got to him, it was almost too late.
Teachers were over-whelmed by the number of students not meeting basic education requirements and couldn’t give each child the attention necessary to catch them up.
“It used to be very frus-trating to see interventions that needed to happen in middle school that I see every day in elementary school,” said Welsh, now principal at Naval Avenue
Early Learning Center. “We run out of resources to do the special educa-tion because there’s just too many kids to address.”
For this reason Welsh feels his work at a school specializing in early edu-cation is anticipating the problems today that middle school students will face tomorrow.
Now he’ll be working on a larger stage, helping more students. Welsh was appointed this summer to the National Association of Elementary School Principals task force on early education.

Buttons that read “Hauge” with a dark red slash through the name were already made.
Members of the Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club gathered at their club the evening of Sept. 9 to discuss their next step after hear-ing that a lawsuit had been filed against the club the day before by Kitsap County Prosecuting Attorney
Russell Hauge.With mosquitoes hover-

“They’re not gonna shut us down,” Carter said to the crowd of members, urging

Manette�Bridge�to�be�closed�ThursdaysVehicle traffic on the Manette Bridge will be closed from 7 a.m. to
8 p.m. each Thursday through at least the end of October.The closures are intended to accommodate con-struction work on the Manette Bridge’s replace-ment. In-water work on
the new bridge, sched-uled to open at the end of 2011 or beginning of 2012, began Aug. 2.Pedestrian passage will be permitted during the bridge closures.Shore Drive in Manette was also permanently closed as of Sept. 13. It is planned to become part
of the larger H.O. “Whitey” Domstad Viewscape once the project is com-plete, according to the state Department of Transportation.
Bremerton�City�Council�approves�
three-hour� parkingThe Bremerton City Council voted to increase downtown parking limits to up to three hours at Wednesday’s City Council meeting.The 9-0 vote added the three-hour option to an area where parking limits currently range from 30 minutes to two hours.Council President Nick Wofford, who headed the Downtown Parking Committee that recom-mended the three hour option, said the main problem facing down-town parking is the “two-hour shuffle” caused by downtown employees who move their cars throughout the day. He said Wednesday the casual downtown visitor will now have more time to eat and shop, but the “shuffle” will persist.“We’re probably going to go from a two-hour shuffle to a three-hour shuffle,” he said.Mayor Patty Lent’s office will determine which parking stalls will become three-hour spaces.
Landlord�fee� proposal�post-poned�due� to�veto�threatBremerton City Council President Nick Wofford postponed a vote on a measure imposing increased landlord fees in an effort to stave off a mayoral veto. The mea-sure would have been voted on at Wednesday night’s City Council meet-ing, but Mayor Patty Lent’s threat of a veto led Wofford to push the vote to Nov. 3, after a personal vacation, so he can vote to override the veto.Wofford’s proposal was to require rental owners to purchase a separate business license for each property they own — $65 for the first property and $25 for each additional property. Currently, land-lords are required to obtain one $65 license no matter how many proper-ties they own.One of the intents of the proposal is to track how many rental owners do business in Bremerton, but Lent said there is a less burdensome way to do so for both the city and landlords. The city has no money to hire staff to process new licenses and track landlords, no matter how many extra dollars the licenses would
bring in, she said.“The money that would be generated I feel wouldn’t cover that,” Lent said. “We cannot add to our employee base.”Instead, Lent is working with members of the Puget Rental Owners Assocciation and other landlords to assemble a data research team that would indepen-dently determine who owns rental property in Bremerton.Wofford had no comment on the mayor’s efforts, but is open to new ideas.“My main objective is to clean up the rental hous-ing in Bremerton,” he said. “If somebody has a plan that is enforceable, then I’m all for it.”
New�Bremerton�city�court�opened�doors�last�weekThe Bremerton Municipal Court opened in its newer and roomier digs Sept. 7, just blocks away from its old location.The new court location is at the old Kitsap Bank building at 550 Park Ave. in downtown Bremerton. The building was bought by the city for $1.7 mil-lion in the spring and was since remodeled for about $650,000.The previous building at 900 Pacific Avenue, which the city has rented for four years, was 7,143 square feet and came with a $5,855 monthly rent cost. The current building is 9,816 square feet between two levels and is now owned by the city.
Cycle�spotters�wanted�for�non-motorized�studyThe state Department of Transportation and bicycle advocates are looking for volunteers to help count the number of cyclists and walkers for three days next month.The volunteers will count the number of non-motorized commuters Oct. 5, 6 and 7, according to a statement. The count will help determine future construction of sidewalks, paths and bike lanes.Volunteers interested in helping can learn more by visiting the department’s website, www.wsdot.wa.gov/bike/Count.htm, or by contacting Cascade Bicycle Club at (206) 204-0913.

woman at Bremerton ferry terminal threat-ens to shoot a bus passenger in the faceA 42-year-old Bremerton woman complaining about a Kitsap Transit driver reported being threatened with a gun Tuesday at the Bremerton ferry terminal.The woman called police after midnight Wednesday, saying that another woman pointed a gun at her several hours earlier while wait-ing for the bus outside the Coldstone Creamery in the 100 block of Washington Avenue, according to reports. The 42-year-old woman told police she was complain-ing about the bus driver when the woman stand-ing next to her pulled out a handgun, saying, “Shut your mouth if you don’t
want to lose your face.”The 42-year-old stood still until she boarded the bus and the woman with the gun stayed behind.After the woman’s report to police, an officer said he recognized the victim’s description of the sus-pect, saying she has been spotted at the ferry ter-minal several times while “insinuating” she had a weapon.No arrests were made.
‘no Dicks’ sign offends manette residentA 48-year-old Manette resident called police Saturday after noticing a modified Norm Dicks campaign sign on Scott Avenue, offended by its “sexual nature.”The man told police he saw a defaced campaign sign for the congres-sional Democrat from Belfair posted outside a house in the 1100 block
of Scott Avenue and took umbrage with its mes-sage, according to police reports. Officers arrived at the residence to find part of Dicks’ name covered in tape so the sign read, “No Dicks.” The slogan, “He works for jobs,” was changed to, “He works for pork.” The man told police the message was too sug-gestive.Police were unable to contact the owners of the residence and entered photos of the sign into evidence.Dicks was entered on the report as the victim. His address was listed as 345 Sixth Street in Bremerton, the Norm Dicks Government Center. According to the report, the congressman resides in apartment 500 of the building.
port orchard man shot and killed by off-duty state trooperAn off-duty Washington State Patrol trooper shot and killed a 30-year-old
Port Orchard man alleged to have attacked him in his yard Saturday night.Cpl. Jason Blankers, 36, told investigators with the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office he noticed a vehicle enter his drive-way on the 8000 block of SE Nelson Road, near Olalla, at about 11:27 p.m., according to a statement from the office.Blankers told a fam-ily member to call 911, walked outside with a handgun and identified himself as law enforce-
ment, the statement said.“Almost immediately, (Blankers) became engaged in a struggle with the intruder” where the suspect struck Blankers in the head with a metal rod, knocking him to the ground.Blankers ordered the suspect to stop and then shot the man. The suspect was treated at the scene and was taken to Tacoma General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.Deputy Scott Wilson, a
spokesman for the Kitsap Sheriff’s Office, identi-fied the suspect as Brent Richard Bayliffe. Wilson said there are no known connections between the men.Wilson wouldn’t say if there were other witness-es beside Blankers, saying that information has not been made public.“The ‘why’ is not one of the questions that may be answered adequately or fully,” Wilson said of Bayliffe’s motivation. “We can’t talk to him.”

Hood canal oysters causing illnessThe state Department of Health closed the Hood
Canal to oyster harvesting Sept. 10 due to reported illnesses from the fjord’s commercially harvested oysters.The closure in Kitsap County extends from the Hood Canal Bridge to the Kitsap/Mason County line, according to the depart-ment. Symptoms of the illness, known as vibrosis,
include diarrhea, abdomi-nal cramps, nausea, vomit-ing, headache, fever and chills. They usually occur about 12 hours after eat-ing infected shellfish and can last two to seven days.For current shellfish clo-sures in Kitsap County, call 1 (800) 2BE-WELL or visit www.kitsapcountyhealth.com.

OPINIONCentral Kitsap
IN OUR OPINION
Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club Executive Officer Marcus Carter’s statement before the Kitsap County Board of County Commissioners
Monday strayed way off the mark. Here is what he said:“There are many people that have let us be known
from all walks of life that they will spare no expense to see to it that this county prosecutor and (code enforce-ment officer) Steve Mount are put down like a rabid dog.”
Carter is currently refuting a lawsuit brought by Prosecutor Russell Hauge which alleges the club is ignoring the rules regulating firing ranges. Carter has also been fighting, successfully, a charge that he ille-gally possessed an automatic assault rifle.
Some may say Carter’s statement, suggesting the county’s prosecutor and a civil servant be shot, was a piece of political hyperbole.
That may be so. However, it could just as easily be described as a veiled death threat.
This kind of speech has no place in our civic discus-sions. An apology to the people of Kitsap County is in order.
Death threats are not acceptable

LETTERSKitsap Regional LibrariesSupport our libraries at the polls
Having been Friends of the Silverdale Library for almost 40 years, we can tell you that our Kitsap Regional Library system has served our local community and all of Kitsap County with an outstand-ing array of information services.
And they have provided it with-out asking for increased funding for years.
But the very best part, is that anyone who walks through our library doors is welcome and can be served.
No matter the age, ethnicity or education, every effort is made to help that person find the informa-tion they need.
The prospect of having a larg-er library (and parking!) for our Silverdale library thrills us to piec-es! We are literally wall-to-wall with people most every day you stop in.
Libraries are often the stepping stone to a wider world for many people and certainly are regarded as the cornerstone for any great community.
We have that great community and now our libraries are asking for and do need our support to con-tinue to serve our communities.
Please vote “yes” on your ballot this fall to support our libraries.

OUR CLIENT’SINTERESTS
COME FIRST.
Starting Tuesday, the county commis-sioners will begin to meet with depart-ments to review budget submittals and prepare a preliminary 2011 budget. While all of our budget briefings are open to the public, a couple changes are in store for this year which we hope will enhance transparency and help the board in our decision making process.
First, instead of just presenting the bud-get submittals to the county commission-ers and our budget staff, each department will present to a committee which consists of representatives from all county depart-ments, along with members from the pub-lic. This committee will provide comments and score the submittals to aide in priori-tizing budget cuts.
Second, we also will hold each budget meeting over this two week period in the commissioner’s main chambers and will televise the meetings on BKAT, as well as put links on our website to view the pre-sentations.
Over the past four years, the commis-sioners have reduced the general fund budget from $93 million to $79 million for 2011. This represents a 15 percent reduc-tion over that period of time. When Kitsap
County collects its share of local sales taxes and its county-wide property tax levy (on average 9 percent of your total property tax bill), these dollars go into the general fund. Approximately 70 percent of the gen-eral fund budget goes
to support criminal justice programs. The remaining 30 percent goes to support man-dated and discretionary county services that include the auditor, parks, a contract with the Humane Society to provide ani-mal control and funding for the Health District.
Many things are funded outside of the general fund. All of public works — from road maintenance and construction to sewer, stormwater and solid waste — is outside of the general fund. So is the per-
mitting division of our Department of Community Development and Human Services grants for programs that support mental illness, chemical dependency and job training. These functions are all outside of the general fund because they rely upon dedicated revenues that can only be spent to support those functions. This is called restricted revenue. All of these depart-ments also report directly to the com-missioners who have final budgetary and management authority.
Within the general fund, the majority of the departments that receive funding are managed by separately elected officials that include our county’s sheriff, prosecutor, auditor, assessor, coroner, treasurer, district and superior court judges. While commis-sioners appropriate funds to each of these departments every year, these departments and their elected officials have final author-ity for how they spend their resources. Commissioners, for example, can’t direct the sheriff how to staff his department, tell the prosecutor which crimes to prioritize or the auditor how to run elections.
In our budget call letter we have asked each general fund department to submit two budget alternatives. First a 7 percent
reduction which represents an across the board cut that would allow us to balance the budget without dipping into reserves for 2011. The second is a 9 percent reduc-tion. Since commissioners cannot direct how each spends their appropriated funds, these two levels of cuts will allow us to review each department’s priorities.
We will ask many departments and outside agencies to absorb a 9 percent cut or greater. This will free up resources for commissioners to redirect to core priori-ties such as public safety which I believe is the most critical responsibility we have as a county government. Every year that I have served as a commissioner we have cut criminal justice programs less than other services. I expect this year will be no dif-ferent.
What will be different is a new process to enhance transparency so that the public has the confidence that the county is mak-ing the best decisions possible with far fewer resources than in the past. I hope the new process and the broadcast of these meetings will make it easier to provide feedback so that we can make the best decisions for our community.
Hoping for more participation in county’s finances
This past Friday, I had the pleasure of attending the League of Women Voters
of Kitsap County event in cel-ebration of the 90th anniversary of women’s right to vote. The suffrage movement and the 19th amendment was a significant period of history (1848 – 1920) that did not receive as much attention as it should have in either my public or private school educational years. Friday’s event really showed me how much I was missing when it came to knowing and understanding the road to the 19th amendment and how much of it I was taking for granted.
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organi-zation that encourages informed and active participation in gov-ernment. Members of the League work very hard to increase and improve the understanding of
major public policy issues through education and advo-cacy. While I personally do not agree with about 50 percent of the Leagues
positions or endorsements, I do very much admire and appreci-ate the time and effort they put into hosting candidate forums for local community races as well as higher profile state positions. By hosting these forums, the League provides a valuable and often underutilized service to the voters
of this community. I would like to take a moment and thank them for that.
The upcoming general election is Tuesday, Nov. 2. I encourage everyone to take advantage of the opportunities the League of Women Voters forums provide to view the candidates in person and hear what they have to say in their own words before deciding how to cast your votes. Upcoming forums are posted on the orga-nizations website, www.lwvwa.org/kitsap so people can attend in person or instead choose the option of watching it on BKAT where it is rebroadcast several times the following weeks.
The struggle for the right to vote was a long, painful process. Let us honor those who did suffer on our behalf by not just casting a vote in the upcoming election, but by making sure that vote is an informed and educated one.

Kitsap Rumble 2010 to test preparedness for a big one.By KRISTIN OKINAKAStaff writer
Though it may sound like the West Sound’s version of a battle of the bands, Kitsap Rumble 2010 is a full scale emergency response exercise.
At exactly 10 a.m. on Sept. 22, the ground won’t be shaking but hundreds of people will be reacting as though an 8.2 magni-tude earthquake struck the Puget Sound region. The exercise is staged by the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management with schools, fire depart-ments and businesses par-ticipating as well.
“We’re trying to over-whelm the system,” said Susan May, spokeswoman
for the department.Past preparedness exer-
cises have simulated pan-demics and terrorist attacks. The last earthquake drill was in 2007 and was a table-top exercise held at one site.
The last notable earthquake to hit Kitsap County was on June 16, 2002 with a magni-tude of 3.7, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The Nisqually earthquake of 2001 was a 6.8 magnitude quake that injured about 400 people between Seattle to Olympia.
Exercises will take any-where from two to six hours. “Some will have you drop, cover and roll,” said May. “Others may have major incidents at their site.”
A fake airplane crash has been planned to take place at the Bremerton National Airport and a response to a staged hazardous materials spill is expected at Olympic High School.

You don’t go to Albuquerque, New Mexico without visiting Old Town Albuquerque.
This is the thought of Maria Mackovjak, owner of Old Town Custom Framing and Gallery.
“We’re a piece of history,” said Mackovjak, who is also chairperson of the Art Walk’s committee. She added that she wants Old Town Silverdale to be “put on the map” just like Old Town Albuquerque.
A step in doing this is by revitalizing the Old Town Silverdale Art Walk, a quarterly event since 2003. The event was cancelled this month.
Organizers said it was because busi-nesses in Silverdale’s small, historic district had scheduling conflicts. Along with scheduling mishaps, Mackovjak said there are less venues than before.
“The recession has hit some very
hard,” said Mark Danielsen, a commer-cial real estate broker with Windermere West Sound, Inc. in Silverdale. “A lot of retail businesses have been leaving that area.”
In the past year and a half, service-oriented professions have been mov-ing into Old Town because of the lower lease rent compared to other parts of Silverdale.
With Old Town changing, Mackovjak said the Art Walk needs to change as well. She said the main change of Old Town is that there are more service businesses like lawyers and massage therapists that do not benefit as much from an art walk as retail businesses.
“Now we’re rethinking the whole art walk concept,” said Mackovjak. Her hope is for the Art Walk to become a twice-yearly event that would attract bigger crowds. One idea she has in mind is to be able to provide a scholar-ship for local art students.
With less retail businesses in Old
Town, there is less foot traffic and fewer potential customers for existing retailers.
“I can’t sell you a piece of jewelry if you don’t walk by,” Mackovjak said.
Some people make the trek around the Sound especially for Old Town, like Anne Sweet, an artist from Des Moines who gets her pieces framed in Old Town because she said she gets “personal service.”
“The only reason I come to Silverdale is for Old Town,” said Sweet.
While ideas for a new Art Walk are being discussed, Mackovjak and other Old Town retailers are not pushing artists and art aficionados to the curb. Lisa Stirrett of Lisa Stirrett Glass Studio is hosting a community art show Friday at the outdoor gar-dens at 3656 NW Munson Place and Mackovjak has plans for a jewelry show at her gallery.
“We are not leaving artists high and dry,” she said.
Silverdale’s Art Walk will rise again

“Four Commandments of Firearms Safety.”
In addition, they are given a verbal safety brief which emphasizes the spe-cific rules and regulations particular to our facility. If the rules are followed, there is no danger to the public at our facility or in the sur-rounding community, and our 84-year safety record bears that out.
If someone wants to come and use our facility and is unfamiliar or uncomfort-able with the use of fire-arms, we have personnel
available to assist in learn-ing the basic knowledge, skills and attitude necessary to safely operate their fire-arms. When the shooting lines are in use the safety officer routinely walks the lines to ensure everyone is following all the safety regulations and there are no problems.

Pacific Northwest Costume stocks.
But for people like Odell, it’s a place for self-described history buffs to travel back to a “more civilized age” and imagine what life might be like in a more technolog-ically-advanced Victorian era.
“It’s a giant game of ‘what if,’” Odell said, describing the repurposed wood-and-brass-finished weapons,
cell phones and computers people design in steampunk fashion. “It’s the fantastical in the ordinary.”
Odell’s friend Stephani Miller of Bremerton, who has been interested in steampunk for two or three years, found out about the genre through her involve-ment with medieval role playing.
“I’ve always loved Jules Verne, I’ve always loved that genre of stories,” said Miller, a 57-year-old grandmother of four. “It was just a natural thing for me to just jump
in.”She said there is a void
of events in Kitsap where she and her sister Joanne Engman, a fellow gamer, can go to meet with like-mind-ed people and explore their interests in steampunk.
“For gamers and costum-ers, there’s nothing really in Kitsap over here on the peninsula that will help us,” Miller said. “We just never had a place to go over here, or there was nobody who was willing to start some-thing up.”
That’s partly why Annetta
Knight, manager of Pacific Northwest Costume, want-ed to ensure steampunkers had a place to fit in. She said one customer drove up to Bremerton from Portland because she was the only costume shop owner who knew what steampunk was.
As someone who helps dress people for Seattle-area steampunk conventions, she hopes the Bremerton event will grow in future years.
“I think it was time we had some fun here, too,” she said.
For those who attend
regional steampunk gather-ings, it’s an escape from real-ity, where people can share their interest in exploring an alternate history.
“It’s a way to get outside of yourself for a while and put the real world behind you,” Miller said. “For those few hours, you’re not yourself, you’re somebody else. It’s a thing that needs to happen every once in a while.”
Role playing genres such as steampunk also provide a sense of community among participants. Before they were involved in steampunk, a mutual interest in vampire role playing brought Miller and Odell together.
Now, they meet with fellow steampunkers and exchange ideas about hand-made gadgets and cos-tumes.
“The exchange of infor-mation is fantastic,” Miller said. “We’re all willing to help each other.”
It’s also the costumes
and gadgets — such as gas masks, goggles, steam-pow-ered machines and weapons — that give steampunk its flair.
“Style is everything,” said Odell, showing a picture of a diving suit with extra head room for a top hat. “You have to look good doing it.”
Miller and Engman are repurposing water guns into futuristic firearms and Engman is doing the cos-tuming for her and her sis-ter, with hats, veils and lace-up boots.
Odell, 41, said the beauty of genres such as steampunk is that imaginative stories and costumes are not lim-ited to 5-year-olds.
“A lot of us are kids at heart,” Odell said.
Actually, Miller said, maybe the grown-ups are better.
“It’s not just for the young girls,” she said. “They look really great, but so can we.”

He will make the first of several trips to Washington, D.C. Sept. 20, where he will help advise on federal poli-cies that will attempt to ease students’ transition from pre-kindergarten to kinder-garten.
Most students go to pre-school at a different school from where they go to kindergarten. The result is kindergarten classes have children whose skills and education levels vary wide-ly, making it difficult to bring everyone to state and national standards, Welsh said.
Furthermore, the fact that pre-kindergarten and K-12 programs are overseen by different federal agen-cies — Head Start under the Department of Health and Human Services and K-12 education under the Department of Education — also creates a division between those age levels. Currently, it is up to indi-vidual districts to deter-mine early learning guide-lines and provide resources, Welsh said.
But in schools such as Naval Avenue — which includes preschool, Head Start, a new Montessori and early education for those as young as six months —
children’s education is more streamlined between grade levels.
“We try to make it a seam-less transition,” Welsh said. “Once kids hit school age, it takes longer to get kids where they need to be.”
Entering his fourth year as principal of Naval Avenue, Welsh has been with the school since it shed fourth- and fifth-grade classes and adopted preschool classes. Previously, he was an assis-tant principal at Bremerton Junior High School and Mountain View Middle School, but his background is in middle school special education teaching, which he did in the Seattle and Steilacoom school districts. It was there that he saw how a greater focus on early childhood education could prevent problems later in students’ academic careers.
By bolstering early educa-tion, the number of children who fall through the cracks are reduced and teachers’ jobs are made easier.
The Bremerton School District consistently ranks in the 90th percentile state-wide in reading scores among districts that have state-funded full-day kin-dergarten, said Special Programs Director Linda Sullivan-Dudzic. In fall 2009, 47 percent of incom-ing kindergarden students met reading benchmarks, a
number that hit 91 percent at the end of the school year. Those high reading scores will improve students’ abil-ity to learn throughout their schooling, Sullivan-Dudzic said.
“We have them reading at the end of kindergarten,” she said. “You can only imagine what that does for your options in life.”
In addition to the approx-imately 480 students who attend Naval Avenue, the
school also provides curric-ulum assistance and train-ing to private and home-based preschools and public agencies throughout the city, making Naval Avenue a school whose reach extends citywide, much to Welsh’s credit, Sullivan-Dudzic said.
“The way he has devel-oped the Pre-K through three early learning cen-ter, it truly is a community school,” she said. “He has
attracted and developed and continued to nurture com-munity relationships.”
Wendy Stevens’ 4-year-old daughter Abigail attends Advantage Montessori, located at Naval Avenue, for preschool. Though Advantage is a private school, unaffiliated with Naval Avenue, Stevens was so impressed with Naval Avenue’s staff and programs that she became the school’s PTA president this year.
She wants her daughter to attend Naval Avenue start-ing the next fall — even though they live closer to View Ridge Elementary — and is considering putting her in the Spanish immer-sion program.
“It was Naval that I just fell in love with,” Stevens said, describing the school’s supportive faculty and staff. “I’ve been so impressed by so many of them and the hard work they put into it.”

Hazel Phillips may not seem like the typical HIV patient, or the typical grand-mother.
Then again, the 57-year-old Bremerton woman says she is typical.
“AIDS is not a gay disease — it does not discriminate against any one race, color or creed,” said Phillips, who
has had two siblings die from the disease. “It does not care. If you’re unfortu-nate enough to get it, you pray to God you don’t die from it and that they find a cure.”
Phillips, a former drug user who has been living with the disease for more than a decade, is a client of Kitsap County HIV AIDS Foundation, which is hold-ing its annual fundraiser,
AIDS Walk Kitsap, Sept. 18.There have been nearly
13,000 AIDS cases report-ed to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control through the end of 2008, putting the state 19th in the coun-try. So far the disease has killed more than 550,000 Americans. About 1.1 mil-lion Americans are living with HIV, the disease that causes AIDS, with a fifth unaware of their infection,
the agency reported.Proceeds from the walk
go to help buy medicine and weekly groceries for the foundation’s low income clients. An AIDS patient’s monthly medicine costs nearly $1,000 and the foun-dation buys its clients’ gro-ceries at the grocery store like everyone else, so its operations depend largely on the success of the walk.
“Every dollar that goes
to the walk actually goes to the care and support of our clients,” said Michael G o o d n o w, foundat ion e x e c u t i v e director.
The walk begins and ends in d o w n t o w n Bremerton’s Harborside D i s t r i c t . The route takes walkers down Pacific Avenue to Evergreen Park for refresh-ments at Samudra Yoga stu-dio. Participants then circle back to the harbor via Park Avenue.
The walk is the biggest AIDS fundraiser in Kitsap
County. Last year it raised $27,000, and Goodnow’s goal for this year is $30,000.
“I want everyone to know that any little thing that they can give
to the AIDS foundation can help, will help, does help,” Phillips said.
For more informa-tion, visit the foundation’s Facebook or Myspace pages, or www.kchaf.org.

them to flood newspaper comment sites with sup-port for the club. “It’s about control of people, not gun control.”
The lawsuit, filed in Pierce County, alleges the long-standing club took a turn in recent years, ille-gally allowing large caliber and automatic weapon fire, firing late into the evening, using explosives as targets and bulldozing more firing lanes — and consequent-ly damaging wetlands by building at least eight more firing lanes.
For Carter’s part, he con-tends Hauge is exacting a personal vendetta and the club is within its rights as the county “grandfathered” the club in 1993. He added the club has permits for the construction and has had nearby water sources test-ed for lead contamination. Club members emphasize a long safety record and Carter chalked up criticism of the club to a small cadre of neighbors upset they bought houses within earshot of a pre-existing gun range.
“The big thing to empha-size is to be involved and to let people know what the facts are,” Carter told mem-bers.
And support poured in. At a county commission-ers meeting Monday, mem-bers voiced their support of the club and criticism of the county employees while Carter’s comments to the board took an ominous tone.
“There are many people that have let us be known from all walks of life that they will spare no expense to see to it that this coun-ty prosecutor and (county community development code enforcement officer) Steve Mount are put down like a rabid dog,” Carter told
commissioners.The suit, which asks a
judge to shutter the club until it complies with the law, alleges the noise, the lack of baffles to catch stray and ricocheted bullets and the earth-moving modifica-tions have become a “public nuisance.”
Washington state defines public nuisances as activi-ties that “annoy, injure, and/or endanger the safety, health, comfort or repose of others.”
The current lawsuit is not the first battle Carter has had with the prosecu-tor’s office. In November of 1999, prosecutors filed a felony charge against Carter for possessing an automatic Colt AR-15 rifle, the civil-ian version of the military M-16 assault rifle. Carter had allegedly modified the rifle for automatic fire.
“He has been pursuing me since that time,” said Carter.
After a decade, the suit was dismissed by Kitsap Superior Court in May 2009, the third time a judge tossed it out.
Carter held a fed-
eral license for firearms. h\However, Deputy Prosecutor Andy Anderson said Carter’s particular license does not allow him to possess a machine gun and the office was appealing the dismissal.
“The case is still alive,” Hauge said, adding the appeals court has agreed with his decision every time and has sent it back. “My understanding is that unless we continue on with this action, Mr. Carter will go on manufacturing machine guns.”Grandfathered in
In September of 1993, the club received a letter from county commissioners con-firming the shooting range’s “lawfully established, non-conforming uses.” In com-mon usage, it means the club had been grandfathered in and was therefore exempt from new regulations.
The suit states, however, that a lot has changed since 1993.
“Things haven’t changed,” said Carter, defending the club. He said that any shoot-ing range will be modified over time if managed prop-
erly, which he said they have done. The modifications were allowed because of the exemption granted by com-missioners. He said they have an aggressive cleanup program and that the facility has strict safety procedures, resulting in the club’s virtu-ally spotless safety record.
Skip Junis, a mem-ber of the Central Kitsap Citizens for Safe and Quiet Neighborhoods, the group that researched the club and lobbied prosecutors for action, said he was unaware he shared his neighborhood with a gun range for years. Recently things changed, and between slugs allegedly being discovered outside the range and complaints about high-powered and intense gun fire into the night, Junis describes it as “out of con-trol.”
He said talk of a con-spiracy by Hauge and the safety of shooters are “mis-direction,” ways to avoid addressing the concerns of neighbors, who do not want
the club shut down but to just obey the law.
“They know what they have done is wrong,” Junis said.Shut down or Slow down?
“We have to have the club c o m p l y with the s a m e building r e g u l a -tion as everyone else in the coun-ty,” said Hauge, referring to the current lawsuit. Hauge said he tried to meet the club “half way” when his office sent the club a letter in May requesting that the club allow access to build-ing inspectors, but he got no response. Neil Wachter, deputy prosecutor, said the next step in this case is to file a formal motion for a preliminary injunction, which he expects will hap-pen in the next week.
“The ultimate goal is not to shut down the rifle club permanently,” said Wachter. “It is to ensure the club oper-ates under Kitsap County code.”
Tim Kizziah, president of the Poulsbo Sportsman Club, a firing range in North Kitsap, has heard that the club on Seabeck Highway has gone back and forth with the county and “has no idea why they have so many issues,” but supports the club.
“We haven’t had any issues with our neighbors,” Kizziah said. “We work close with our neighbors to keep everyone happy.” When requested, his club has shut down operation so there would be no gunfire during nearby gatherings,
including wedding ceremo-nies.
Bruce Danielson, who is running for the prosecuting attorney position against Hauge this election, is a cur-rent member of the club.
Danielson said he sup-ports the club and its activi-ties, but said if elected he would not immediately scrub the lawsuit, but order a “complete review of the case.”MeMberS feel Safe, neiGhborS don’t
While many club mem-bers were not shocked by Hauge’s action against the club, the lawsuit alarmed others. “I was floored,” said Bob Starline, who decided to take up shooting at the age of 55 when he moved to Poulsbo from Virgina a year ago. He always thought that he might like target shoot-ing and decided to check the club out.
“I feel safe here,” Starline said. “I wouldn’t bring my daughter here if not.” Starline said he is thinking about bringing his wife to the range.
Neighbors have a differ-ent take, however.
“It sometimes sounds like our house is being shot at,” neighbor Kevin Gross, a retired Navy captain, wrote in his formal declaration. When he and his wife moved into their home nearby in 2002, gunfire sounds were rarely heard. He wrote that in 2008, or earlier, “the loudness and frequency of shooting sounds from the club began to increase appreciably.”
The Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club has been operating since 1926. Carter said they have between 1,000 to 1,200 members with about 10,000 nonmember visitors each year.

L o o k i n g ahead: First-year coach Steve Lutz has his hands full at Olympic, inheriting a team that lost its best hitter from a winless 2009 squad.
The Trojans are without former
No. 1 singles player Cory Smith, who qualified for the district tour-nament last season. The team doesn’t have much depth, either, with 11 players turning out for preseason practices. Seven under-classmen joined the team late.
“The pickings are slim,” said Lutz, also the boys golf coach and a former athletic director at Olympic.
Three of the team’s top hit-ters are baseball players — Chris Campbell, Joe Stevick and Danny Sullivan. Campbell and Sullivan will partner at No. 1 doubles, while Stevick will team with Aljohn Gaviola at No. 2 doubles.
“They are natural athletes,” Lutz said.
Lutz took over for athletic direc-tor Nate Andrews, who coached the team in 2009 while searching for his own replacement.
The first-year coach said Monday his team’s cumulative grade-point average is among the best in the state and it could com-pete for an academic champion-ship.

Kitsap County will spend about $1.25 million on upgrades to a popular Bremerton ball field, but the money won’t cover the entire cost of the job and it’s unclear where the rest will come from.
Designs have been drawn, a bid is close to being issued and ground will be broken this fall on the field resurfacing project at Gordon Park Fields, a parcel of land on NW Fairgrounds Road that is used for soccer games and practices and other athletic events.
County officials say the proj-ect will make money over time and allow the fields to be used year-round. The work includes the installation of two artificial-ly surfaced play-ing fields and 10 light posts, allowing the area to be used at night.
But the $800,000 allocated in the county’s construction fund and $450,000 made available by the Kitsap Public Utilities District won’t cover the costs for the instal-lation of the second field or any of the lights, said Jim Dunwiddie, director of parks and recreation. The job also has been scaled back since the original designs were drawn, with the county deciding Wednesday to eliminate two back-stop fences from the job.
Dunwiddie said that with no money currently going into the construction budget, the util-ity district “only generating so much money” from sales tax and the number of grants issued by the state for athletic fields down compared to years past, there’s no telling when the project will be complete.
“To get the money for the second field, it’s going to be a long time unless someone wants to come in and partner, or public facilities finds another pot of money,” said
Dunwiddie, who became parks director in November 2009.
The lights, meanwhile, will be installed when money becomes available.
Dunwiddie estimated it will cost $220,000 to install the posts, lamps and wiring for five lights, the amount needed to properly light the first turf field. Currently, the county is about $150,000 shy of that total.
The project will go forward with the assumption that the lights will eventually go in. However, Dunwiddie said he doesn’t know where the money will come from.
In a time when county parks are being closed and county employees are having their hours cut or losing their jobs all together, spending more than $1 million on soccer fields may seem like a peculiar move.
But coun-ty officials say the money was reserved long ago for the capital projects fund and, by law, can’t be transferred or spent elsewhere.
“Some people are saying, ‘How can you spend a million dollars on a plastic-grass field and you can’t find someone to work in park maintenance?’” Dunwiddie said. “It’s just two different sources of money.”
Central Kitsap Commissioner Josh Brown said the money can’t be transferred because it came from a real estate excise tax, desig-nated for construction projects.
Asked whether there is any pos-sible way of transferring those dol-lars, Brown said: “The answer is you can’t.”
The county believes that with a turf playing surface, Gordon could become a host site for major tournaments. There will be no risk of canceling games because of poor field conditions and the

ence in track and basket-ball, said Hill, Wells and other seniors must win con-sistently to keep the team competitive. Bremerton has a crop of young talent, but Webb said the focus for those players is on develop-ing their skills, not winning matches.
Still, the coach believes the Knights will be competi-tive in the Olympic League, especially if the doubles players perform well.
“We’re just hoping to find the right combinations,” Webb said.
KLAHOWYA SECONDARY SCHOOL
Coach: Bruce Pemberton (sixth season)
League: OlympicClassification: 2AWho to watch: Corey
Stewart, junior, No. 1 sin-gles; Boyd Wolking, junior, No. 2 singles; Drew Fagan, sophomore, No. 1 doubles; Joe Valley, senior, No. 1 doubles; Forrest Brockett, freshman, No. 2 doubles; and Jerry Landram, fresh-man, No. 2 doubles.
2009 finish: 7-6Looking ahead: Call it
the “Year of Doubles” at Klahowya.
The Eagles welcome two talented freshmen doubles players — Forrest Brockett and Jerry Landram — who coach Bruce Pemberton believes will anchor the squad well into the future.
And although Pemberton said the freshmen have per-formed better in practices than competitive match-es this season — perhaps a product of nerves — he believes the duo will have a winning season.
Landram and Brockett have worked well together early this season, Pemberton
said, as have the No. 1 doubles team of senior Joe Valley and sophomore Drew Fagan.
“It’s all about chemistry,” Pemberton said. “If they don’t play well together, I split them up immediately.”
Klahowya’s top singles players are juniors Corey Stewart and Boyd Wolking.
CENTRAL KITSAP HIGH SCHOOL
Coach: Denise Baxter (first season)
League: NarrowsClassification: 4AWho to watch: Thomas
Sugimoto, senior, No. 1 singles; Ben Jensen, sopho-more, No. 2 singles; Tim Maszeyczik, senior, No. 3 singles; Andrew Dore, senior, No. 1 doubles; and Jack Lau, senior, No. 1 dou-bles.
2009 finish: 7-4Looking ahead: The
return of a talented senior and the arrival of another has coach Denise Baxter excited about her first sea-
son at Central Kitsap.The Cougars, who fin-
ished 7-4 last season under former coach Ken Allen, feature one of the top play-
ers in the area in senior Thomas Sugimoto, whose three older sisters played at Central Kitsap.
Sugimoto is an experi-
enced player who currently holds the No. 1 singles posi-tion, but Baxter believes he will be challenged for the spot when senior for-eign exchange student Tim Maszeyczik becomes eli-gible.
The German player must log 10 practices before he can play in competitive matches.
“He’s really good,” Baxter said.
The team also has a strong doubles team in senior tan-dem Jack Lau and Andrew Dore.
Baxter expects the team to finish near the top of the Narrows League standings, though she said tradition-al powers Olympia, South Kitsap and Gig Harbor high schools and Bellarmine Preparatory School will be tough to topple.
“We hope to be competi-tive,” Baxter said. “We usu-ally are.”

new layout will allow grand-standed to be transported in and out of the area.
The new fields also will be bigger than standard high school pitches and could be used for lacrosse, rugby and football, Dunwiddie said.
Those features could draw teams from outside the area.
“That’s beds and heads and everything else,”
Dunwiddie said. There are currently three
fields at Gordon — two for games and one for practice — and they are used by vari-ous organizations, including the Kitsap Pumas, Tracyton Soccer Club, Olympic and Central Kitsap high schools and Klahowya Secondary School.
Tracyton Soccer has about 900 players and more than 80 teams, said 23-year mem-ber Vicky Webb, the head girls soccer coach at Central Kitsap High School.
When construction
begins — the original target date of Oct. 1 was pushed back — some teams will be forced to find somewhere else to practice.
But Webb supports the project, saying it will ben-efit the soccer community and, assuming the lights go in, give teams more playing time. Games won’t be can-celed due to poor weather, either, since there will be no torn-up grass, mud or ankle-deep puddles.
“It’s been something we’ve tried to get done for a long time,” Webb said. “This
had been our home field for many, many years.”
Administrators at the high school level also expressed support for the project.
Gordon serves as an overflow playing space for Olympic, Central Kitsap and Klahowya soccer teams when the turf field at Silverdale Stadium isn’t available.
Olympic High School Athletic Director Nate Andrews, whose soccer teams practice and occasion-ally play competitive games on the grass at Gordon, said
another turf-field option would benefit the players because that’s the surface on which they’re accustomed to playing.
“It’s like a basketball play-er going from hardwood to concrete or rubber,” Andrews said.
Currently, the county rents the fields at Gordon for $15 per hour. Although an hourly rate hasn’t been set for the soon-to-be turf field, Dunwiddie expects it to be around $25, which he said is the going rate for turf fields.
Teams will continue to play on the grass, too, since there is no money now for the second turf field.
The turf should last between seven and 10 years, Dunwiddie said, and it won’t take more than a “couple months” for the first field to be ready, assuming the weather cooperates.
By spring, Dunwiddie expects the field to begin making money for the county.
“Anyone who wants to play on here, it’s going to be open to them,” he said.

OLYMPIC HIGH SCHOOL
Coach: Greg Chapman (ninth season)
League: OlympicClassification: 2ARoster breakdown: 24
boys, seven girlsWho’s back (boys): Seth
Bailey, senior, 2009 state participant; Matthew Lutz, junior, 2009 district partici-pant; Craig Boekenoogen, sophomore; Ian Goldizen, junior; Franz Plum, sopho-more; Zack Coulson, soph-omore.
Who’s back (girls): Jocelyn Pease, senior
Looking ahead: He stopped short of predict-ing a league championship, but Olympic coach Greg Chapman believes his team could be as good as any in the Olympic League.
“We’re going to be in the forefront this year,” said Chapman, in his ninth year.
Senior Seth Bailey, who qualified for the Class 3A
state championships last season, is the team’s top runner. He will lead a boys squad that returns every runner from 2009.
The seven-member girls team has two runners who could vie for postseason berths in returning senior Jocelyn Peace and incoming junior Malia Lagat.
CROSSPOINT ACADEMY
Coach: Martin Prehm (first season)
League: SeaTacClassification: 2BRoster breakdown: seven
boys, one girlWho’s back (boys):
Russell Melin, sophomore, 2009 state participant; Mikai Pattee, sophomore, 2009 state participant; Joe Wiltz,
senior, 2009 state partici-pant; Jimmy Prehm, senior, 2009 state participant; John Reichel, sophomore, 2009 state participant.
Who’s back (girls): Faith Hamilton, junior, 2009 state participant.
Looking ahead: Despite a low turnout, expectations are high at Crosspoint.
The Warriors have just eight runners on the varsity roster — seven boys and one girl — a year after send-ing 14 athletes to the Class 2B state championships.
Still, the team returns six runners who qualified for state a year ago, including sophomore Russell Melin, whose 20th-place finish in the 5,000-meter race was tops among Crosspoint ath-letes.
The team’s lone female is junior Faith Hamilton, a 2009 state participant who Prehm said should return to the postseason this season.
“We expect lots of com-petition this year in the SeaTac League, but our goal is to have the team return to state,” he said.
BREMERTON HIGH SCHOOL
Coach: Teresa Seim (15th season)
League: Olympic Classification: 3ARoster breakdown: 17
boys, 14 girlsWho’s back (boys): Gavin
Borchers, senior; Brian Escobar, junior; Bobby Dingle, senior; Marcus Johnson, junior; Chris Sargent, sophomore; and
Tyler Enloe, sophomore.Who’s back (girls):
Lauren Richardson, senior; Sadie Morton, senior; Rebecca Frei, sophomore; and Heather Danielsen, junior.
Looking ahead: Coach Teresa Seim expects this to be a “different” year for Bremerton, the only Class 3A team remaining in the 2A-heavy Olympic League.
The requirements have changed for qualification to the district champion-ships, said Seim, meaning the team must perform bet-ter than it did a year ago at sub-districts if it wants to advance.
“They are hard workers whose goal is to get better,” she said. “What more could a coach want?”
CENTRAL KITSAP HIGH SCHOOL
Coach: Mark Ward (sec-ond season)
League: NarrowsClassification: 4AWho’s back (boys):
Zackery Weber, senior, 2009 state participant
Who’s back (girls): Gee Mi Jorde, senior; Liana Merrill, junior; Krista Holden, soph-omore; Ashley Field, senior, Maggie Coleman, senior; and Kesley Rico, junior.
Looking ahead: Central Kitsap begins life after Shane Moskowitz, the 2009 Class 4A state cross-country
champion who now runs at Oklahoma State University.
The top returning runner on the boys team is senior Zackery Weber, also a 2009 state participant.
The girls team, mean-while, is without Shannon Moskowitz, the twin sister of Shane. She is now a member of the track and field team at Boise State University.
But the squad returns six runners who qualified for state in 2009, including three seniors.
Coach Mark Ward did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
KLAHOWYA SECONDARY SCHOOL
Coach: Marty Krafcik (14th season)
League: OlympicClassification: 2AWho’s back (boys):
Derris Davis, senior; Kenny Hata, junior; Jacob Neubart, senior; Keith Ryan, junior; Dane Ballou, junior; and Jared Sell, junior.
Who’s back (girls): Sori Grellner, junior; and Emily Kreifels, senior.
Looking ahead: The Eagles had no state par-ticipants in 2009, but they return six boys and two girls who competed at districts.
Any of those athletes could break through in 2010.
