Native art represents a tie to the land, to the envi-ronment, to ancestry.

Artists in different regions have numerous ways to express them-selves — in symbols, shapes and medium.

Totem poles are common in the Pacific Northwest, as are drums, paddles, plaques and rattles.

And now, shoes.Jimmy Price of Little Boston,

who is Port Gamble S’Klallam and Navajo, began carving nine years ago, evolving with the scope of his work. You can see him at some of the tribal bazaars around the region, displaying his traditional drums and carvings, but also his designs on slippers and shoes.

“It kind of just clicked,” Price said of the time when he began apprenticing under his then-wife’s uncle, master carver Joe Ives. “It’s something I could cre-ate, share my culture a little bit.”

Maria Peña, dean of student services at Peninsula College in Port Angeles, said of Price’s use of color, “Some artists work with

the traditional colors black and red, but [Price] ventured out into other colors: purples, blues, lavenders.”

POULSBO — North Kitsap residents are responding to community needs in donating to the Poulsbo Lions Bellringer Fund.

As of Thursday, $2,015 had been donat-ed to the fund.

D o n a -tions to the P o u l s b o L i o n s B e l l r inger Fund are used to pro-vide food, emergency shelter and emergency financial assistance to North Kitsap residents in need. Annually, the fundraising goal is about $35,000.

POULSBO — Poulsbo Fire Department Lt. Edward Wright is no stranger to the strenuous conditions in East

Africa, but this last trip was by far “one of the most dif-ficult experiences of my life,” he said.

On Nov. 11, Wright, who is helping to develop a team of volunteer EMTs and fire-fighters in the community of Mubende, Uganda, found himself at the mercy of armed bandits.

Wright explained that as his team was driving from the airport to Mubende, loaded

with much-needed medical equipment, teaching sup-plies and luggage, they were ambushed. Armed bandits stopped them on the highway, 24 miles from Mubende.

“All our money and goods were taken,” he said in a report by the Poulsbo Fire

Defeated, then appointedBockus will stay on the Poulsbo Port Commission

By MEGAN STEPHENSON [email protected]

POULSBO — Come January, the Port of Poulsbo will see just one new face on the commission.

Commissioner Arnie Bockus was defeated by Jim Rutledge is his bid for re-election to Position 3 in the Nov. 8 election. But Bockus was sworn in Thursday as Position 2 com-missioner to replace Glenn Gilbert, who resigned last month.

Port Manager Kirk Stickels said Bockus and one other person applied for the vacancy, but the other applicant did not live within the Port District, a commissioner requirement. He said the board does not need quorum to swear in a new commissioner and a vote is not needed because Bockus is the only eligible applicant.

The situation is unique, but Stickels said the board and port staff worked with their attorney and were “cognizant of the rules ... and appearance” of appointing

Arnie Bockus ... will stay on the port commis-sion.

Wright was traveling with Mubende city’s mayor, a city clerk, and paramedic Chris Huskinson of the Madison County Fire Department in Rexburg, Idaho. When they were finally freed, the mayor was able to contact his town’s police command-er.

“The police obtained a sniffer dog from a neigh-boring town’s barracks and had four of the five bandits arrested,” Wright said.

“Most of our items and money were returned in four

hours — wildly unheard of in that area of the world. The suspects were marched in front of national TV cameras and handed to the military for court martial, as one was also a deserter from the military and they all had worn army jackets. I pray for their souls, as they face a very dark and brief

future under Ugandan law. The fifth bandit, the intelli-gence officer, has a price on his head and is thought to have fled to the Congo.”

Several agencies are part-ners in the effort to help the Ugandan city develop a fire protection and emergency medical technician force.

The fire department in

Tumwater, a sister city of Mubende, donated an ambulance and shipped it in spring. The Poulsbo Firefighters Association purchased a surplus fire truck from Port Ludlow and is shipping it and surplus fire equipment as soon as $10,000 is raised for trans-port. Poulsbo Rotary Club

has donated funds toward the transport costs. Other assistance is being provided by Port Ludlow Firefighters Association, Orcas Island Fire and Rescue, Tumwater Sister Cities Association, and individual donors.

Leaders in Mubende, located in west-central Uganda, asked for help after a fire broke out in an orphanage and residents had no way to save the children. The closest fire brigade was about 100 miles away.

Wright, president of a fire training and equipment design company, is a mem-ber of the board of directors of the African Chamber of Commerce of the Pacific Northwest, which promotes trade and investment rela-tionships between Africa and this region.

Wright said Mubende residents have one of the strongest commitments to improving their community that he has seen.

“The recent ordeal was a really tough thing to go through and quite humiliat-ing for the Mubende com-munity,” Wright said.

“I encouraged the mayor to get through this and not let what happened deter us from the really neat things that are taking place. The team completed two weeks of basic emergency medical training for 15 very enthu-siastic volunteers. This training is just a start, as there remains much work to do to build a sustainable, functioning emergency ser-vices agency. In addition to the training, we were able to build a strong organi-zational foundation with a broad-based public safety committee and dedicated public funding. Land has even been acquired for a new fire station.”

Wright stayed in Uganda until Nov. 24.

North Kitsap Fishline and others periodically turn to the Poulsbo Lions Bellringer Fund for help providing assistance to families facing eviction, emergency assistance pay-ing utility bills, and keeping homes supplied with heating fuel. Last year, the Poulsbo Lions Bellringer Fund sup-plied 100 Christmas food baskets to local families.

All told, the Poulsbo Lions Bellringer Fund and its donors assisted more than 300 families in 2011.

Firefighters did job with no fuss or muss

Thank you to the hardwork-ing staff at North Kitsap Fire and Rescue.

We recently had a chimney fire and our fast-responding fire and rescue people were there for us. It’s great to have such a great bunch of people available when you need them.

The responding crew was quick to assess the situation and told us the course of action that they would be taking. They kept us informed as to what they were doing while they were at our home. They checked to make sure that we were OK while we were in our yard watching and worrying about our home.

They used several thermal imag-ing cameras to track the tempera-ture inside our home to make sure that there was no fire in the wall or attic areas. They tracked the temperatures and when they were cooling and there was no danger, they allowed us to re-enter our home. I expected to see footprints and marks where they were in our home, but it was clean and it was as if nothing had happened. A little muddy soot next to the woodstove was all that we found, and that might have come from my attempt to put out the fire.

Kudos to you all and, yes, we will have our chimney cleaned more often now.

Generosity fed many on Thanksgiving

On behalf of Fishline, I would like to thank all those who responded to the call for Thanksgiving turkeys.

When we closed for the day on Nov. 21, we were still about 50 turkeys short of the total number needed to cover just Nov. 22. But thanks to the overwhelming gen-erosity of the Poulsbo community, we received more than that amount and had enough to cover Nov. 23 as well.

I am continually amazed at the giving spirit of the community to their neighbors in need. It’s easy to count my blessings when I live in such a great community.

Happy Thanksgiving,Kathy SmithCoordinator

‘Occupy’ is about getting a fair shake

In regard to the letter in last week’s Herald titled, “Equal value does not mean equal outcome”:

The writer unwittingly provided the very justifica-tion for the Occupy pro-testers for which he speaks against. The Occupy pro-testers are not demanding an equal outcome, only a fair shake. By 2010, CEO compensation soared to 343 times the workers median pay, the largest gap in the world. An average S&P 500 CEO’s pay could pay for 225 teachers in our community.

The protesters don’t want to confiscate the wealthy’s wealth. The protesters just want the wealthy to pay a fair share and allow the poor and middle class to get a fair share for their labors. After all, the wealthy did not get wealthy entirely on their own. They used employees, government roads and ser-vices. Some got government subsidies and tax breaks. Many received government contracts.

Our police, firefighters, and EMT folks protect the wealthy as well as the average and the poor. They

deserve a fair share. So do the teachers; they teach all children, rich and poor.

I recently read a statement reportedly attributed to Edward Filene, 20th century retailer. When asked about being taxed by the people, he reportedly responded: “Why shouldn’t the people take half my money? I took it all from them.”

The writer of last week’s article is correct: greed can-not be legislated away, but behavior can be limited by legislation. Support finan-cial reform and the Occupy movement and give gener-ously to Fishline and the Poulsbo Lions Bellringer Fund this year if you are able. You might need their services one day.

Poulsbo is on its way to road rage

Just when Poulsbo city leaders think they are safely past their local re-elections — only 48 percent of reg-istered voters voted in the contested race and less than 40 percent in others, com-pared to 54 percent county-wide — maybe those leaders should think again.

Here is what city vot-ers will experience, thanks to the newly installed five members of the Poulsbo City Council.

Spring 2012: Almost all the evergreen trees at SR305 and Bond Road will be bulldozed and burned, and this habitat will be paved over for Mr. Edward Rose

of Michigan to build 700 living units on Poulsbo’s last urban forest.

Access roads to Rose’s land will be built as pub-lic roads, one intersecting SR305 between Bond and Viking Way, the other on Bond Road between Valley Nursery and Big Valley Road, near the top of the blind hill just west of Big Valley.

The access to 305 will be right-in/right-out, and con-struction will restrict right lane usage on 305 going up the hill toward SR3 or College Marketplace, already full at rush hour.

The access to Bond is planned to be left-in/left-out, right-in/right-out: full movement T-access, 1/10th mile, about 500 feet, from the Big Valley/Little Valley intersection with Bond, and a like distance from 305. This access will require Bond to be three-laned from Valley Nursery all the way to Big Valley, with a new middle (“suicide”) lane.

That huge reconstruc-tion of Bond near 305 will require a new stoplight at the Big Valley intersec-tion, which is framed by a blind curve on the east and the blind curve on its west. Oh, boy! That light will make seven stoplights on Bond between 305 and Kingston: at 305, Big Valley, Gunderson, Port Gamble Road, George’s Corner, and the two approaching Kingston. We already have at least seven lights on 305 between SR3 and Bainbridge Island, not counting the

Agate Pass Bridge light!There will also be a new

stoplight on Lincoln Road at 10th Avenue to accom-

modate Safeway’s new store near the fire station.

By this spring, Poulsbo will become the road rage

capital of Kitsap County, rivaling Silverdale!

Every cancer patient has unique needs and many require daily or weekly treatments over the course of several months. The American Cancer Soci-ety considers its volunteer drivers to be essential members of each patient’s medical team. “The stress that it has relieved has been tremen-dous,” said Claudia Hatley, a cancer patient who is a beneficiary of driver Cyril Faulkner’s generosity. “I haven’t had to worry about receiving my radia-tion treatments in which I believe has alleviated any blocks to the healing process. My husband and I are extremely grateful to the American Cancer Society and Cyril Faulkner for his unconditional giv-ing of time and himself in making this program a success.”

EditorialContinued from page A4

By KIPP [email protected]

POULSBO — Tony Chisholm is looking for one thing in his basket-ball team this season: dis-cipline.

The North Kitsap High School coach said he wants the team’s mindset

and work ethic to be more positive than the 2010-11 team.

“The key word is disci-pline,” he said Tuesday. “I call it the Big D.”

During preseason prac-tice and tryouts, Chisholm tried to ensure the players making it on to the 2011-12 varsity team would put

in the work necessary and work together.

The basketball program is returning after a winless season. The Vikings’ 2010-11 team ended 0-20.

Though Chisholm said the team is still in a reor-ganizing stage, he said this season could be dif-ferent. One of the biggest

changes he hopes to see in this team is the chemistry between players.

“Personally, I don’t think there was much chemis-try,” he said of the 2010-11 team.

Chisholm tells the Viking players the game has nothing to do with him as a coach. It’s about

them. While he will man-age and coach, it’s up to the players to believe in what they can do.

On top of a changing attitude, Chisholm expects a few of the players who play basketball regularly to make a difference on the

POULSBO — The host team for the 2012 13-year-old Babe Ruth World Series has a man-ager.

Russell Shiplet will manage the host team for the base-ball tournament in August. He was selected from a pool of 11 candidates after interviews with the Kitsap World Series Organizing Committee and approval from the Kitsap Babe Ruth Board of Directors.

Bucs may still be team to beat

By KIPP [email protected]

KINGSTON — To com-pare the 2011-12 Kingston Buccaneers varsity basketball team to the 2010-11 team would be unfair.

Like all public school sports teams, players come and go. Each year is different.

However, of the 12 varsity players that were on the team last season, seven returned. This includes three starting players. Those seven compet-ed last season in the 2A State Champions, where the team took third.

The Bucs, who will be led by captains Sam Byers, KT Deam and Richie Sander, travel to Port Angeles to take on the Roughriders today. The varsity game is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The Kingston team of crimson and gold played its first game this season (non-

league) against the Bainbridge Spartans Tuesday, losing 58-54. The game came down to the final minute. The 2010-11 Bucs defeated Bainbridge 64-62.

Though the team did not shoot the ball or retrieve as many rebounds as it should have, Kingston coach Blake Conley said the game was a learning experience. The team can’t rely on its height or strength alone to win games. For example, when fighting for the rebound, play-ers must execute fundamental basketball, not just jump.

“If we just jump for every ball, then the chance of the rebound is 50-50,” Conley said Wednesday. “And we don’t want that.”

Walking away with a loss during the first game, but knowing more about itself, could potentially be more beneficial.

Though the team has good height, its strength is going to be down low. Guards, includ-ing Deam, who scored 11 points against the Spartans, will play a key role.

WINTER SEASON PREVIEWS■ This week: Basketball

■ Dec. 9: Gymnastics, swimming

KINGSTON — Like its North Kitsap rivals, the Kingston Buccaneers girls basketball team is not tall.

In fact, the tallest players are about 5-foot-5. This has forced the team to take on a different game strategy for the 2011-12 season.

This season, the team has become guard-oriented.

“We’re still playing up-

tempo,” Coach Penny Gienger said. But, “I knew I needed to [make the change to guard-oriented], just because we’re pretty short.”

In the past, the team has mostly been point-oriented. Gienger said she is simply building the team based on its strengths.

Change or not, the Bucs came out to the court for their first game against Peninsula ready to play. The team defeated Peninsula 77-34 Tuesday in the non-league game. The Bucs play Port Angeles tonight at home. The game is sched-uled for 7 p.m.

Five players from the

2010-11 varsity team returned this season. Three players from the junior var-sity team moved up.

As the team prepares for its first league game, Gienger has one problem to overcome: having too many potential starting players. With a focus on the guard positions, Gienger said she can make substations with-out much worry.

“Seven of the players could be starters,” she said. “That’s going to be a chal-lenge.”

Included in the roster are returners Amanda Carper, Maggie Snaza and Lindsey Wicklein. Carper had 20

points against Peninsula Tuesday. Snaza and Wicklein both left with 18.

“Those three are going to get us some points,” Gienger said.

Gienger would like to avoid a repeat of the 2010-11 postseason. A 42-40 loss to Olympic High School ended the team’s shot at State.

“We had a good season last year,” Gienger said. “We felt like that was a game we should have won.”

POULSBO — Rebekah Baugh was somewhat ner-vous going into her first high school varsity bas-ketball game. The North Kitsap High School fresh-man described it as “nerve-wracking.”

Despite any nerves, how-ever, Rebekah and the North Kitsap Vikings girls team sent Chimacum home with a 63-36 defeat Wednesday night in the team’s first game of the season (non-league).

Rebekah, who plays year-

round, ended the night with 28 points.

The team travels to North Mason today for its first league game, scheduled for 7 p.m.

Rebekah said the Vikings have plenty of outside shoot-ers to choose from. Being able to push the ball inside should not be a problem either. The team still needs to work on its defense, she said.

Tim French would like to see a little more height

on the North Kitsap girls basketball team.

The tallest players, according to the roster, are Indika Bray at 5-foot-11 and Indigo Williams at 5-foot-10.

However, “we will make up for [height] with inten-sity and our ball handling,” French said.

Judging by the team’s first game of the season, that may prove true.

This season, the team has six seniors who will

bring leadership. The 2010-11 team did not have any seniors. Though leadership is an intangible aspect of a team, French said he can already tell it’s there.

This season, French expects Bremerton, Kingston, Olympic and Port Angeles to be among the tougher opponents.

French had the team working on conditioning to try and mitigate problems the 2010-11 team faced. One of the main issues was

being able to finish games. Of the league games the team played, four of those ended with the Vikings three points or less behind their opponent.

With more conditioning, French is confident in the team’s ability to avoid those narrow defeats.

“If we’re in better shape, we will have a better chance at winning those closer games,” he said.

The players’ ability to penetrate through oppo-nents’ defense and drive to the hoop should be solid as well. Byers, at 6-foot-10, proved that point Tuesday. The senior forward scored 20 points, tying with Bainbridge’s Chris Bell for most points scored.

And although the Bucs may not be as quick, Conley said the ability to play defense is solid.

While he does not like to compare a past Kingston team to this season’s, Conley admits returning players will have a new experience to bring to the floor. Last sea-son, the Bucs took third in the 2A State Championships. Those players know what it takes to win.

“On the other hand, everybody is 0-0 in the [Olympic] League right now,” Conley said. “Nobody is going to lay down because of how we did last year and teams will probably be gun-ning for us.”

court. Players who will help the team avoid a win-less season: Jacob Hill, expected to be a solid point guard; Riley Lindsey; and David Perry, who plays AAU in the offseason.

Like the other athletes in the North Kitsap School District, most of the Viking basketball players are multi-sport athletes. Chisholm seeks those who focus solely on basketball and then surrounds those players with athletes.

“There’s not too many true basketball players,” he said. “But there are a lot of great athletes.”

When talking to coach-es from around the area, Chisholm has been told larger schools are basi-cally guaranteed a spot in postseason tournaments because they have bigger student bodies to select from.

As long as the Vikings understand this team is different, avoiding a win-less season should not be out of reach.

“This year we’re not dwelling on the past. It’s a different team,” Chisholm said. “Some kids really stepped up and I think there’s room here for some greatness.”

“We’re still playing up-tempo.”

— Coach Penny Gienger

To the person who stole the butterfly ornament from my

potted plant: Let me tell you a little about my sister, Pam Slick.

Pam, born on Christmas day, was our anchor. She was kind and compassionate and nurtured everywhere she went. She was a beacon of light who led her life with selfless generosity, teaching, guiding and forging the way to wisdom.

Pam dedicated decades of service to those most vul-nerable and those most in need. She received multiple accolades for outstanding service on behalf of chil-dren and youth. She con-tributed years of volunteer service to the elderly, to the poor in need of legal aid, and to homeless youth. She served the League of Women Voters, the Girls' Alliance, the Family Law Access Project, the Juvenile Justice Commission and the Commission on Children and Youth.

And you? What have you done lately?

Pam served with Volunteer Lawyers and Domestic Violence Clinics. She was passionately dedi-cated to helping young

mothers. She was a founding member of the Mediation and Restitution Service and developed and administered the Civil Service exam and interviews for the Public Defender Child Advocacy Division. She was a member of the School Attendance Review Board and held a chair position for the Commission on Children and Youth.

Stop me if I’m boring you.

Pam served as a lecturer, presenter, co-planner and moderator at USD School of Law, community colleg-es, Juvenile Court, Project Home Start, Consortium of Child Abuse Councils and the Court Interpreters training program.

And then she passed away.

Pam passed from illness in June, a deep devasta-tion to all who loved and admired her. My dear, lov-ing friends, teary eyed, gift-ed me with a beautiful pot of orange, yellow and pink flowers in Pam’s memory as I stood there melted by the deep pain of loss. In this lit-

tle garden spilling over with love and bloom, they added a blue butterfly ornament, raised up on a metal stalk, which they planted among the petunias and dahlias.

I placed this beautiful gift of love, support and remembrance out for the world to see and enjoy. Out in nature that Pam loved and touched. Out under the stars that twinkled in her laughing eyes. Out where bird-song and spring breeze could drift through its fra-grances to carry joy to others. And there the cheery butterfly stood, through bright sum-mer mornings touched with early dew. Through the warming heat of August, alive with buzz and bloom. Through the cooling eves of autumn, where nature’s cleansing winds swept leaves from her waving trees and nestled them in the rangy grasses below. There it stood for Pam. Until a few days before Thanksgiving. When you took it.

Did you think to wrap it in finery of holiday paper and offer it, giddily, as a

testament of your generous, thoughtful nature? Did you give it to your mom, telling her how its joyous beauty made you think of her? Did you tell her where you got it? Or did you just poke it into that old pot on your porch,

the one with the rotted chrysan-themums, and with dirty hands on your hips nod, satisfied, at what a good job you’ve done?

I thought to track you down somehow and give you a good talk-ing to. Point out to you that this is

exactly what is wrong with the world right now — that so many take without ask-ing, without apology, with-out saying, “Thank you,” and without giving anything back. To remind you that so many will never have enough to fill the bleak pit of emptiness that haunts their deepest, crippled realms, and, blinded with a sickening madness, glee-fully take from others for personal gain, causing pain and suffering. And reveal to you that if you do the same, you don’t get to complain

about the state of the world because you are part of the wretched sickness that impales the most twisted, infected shards of putrid vileness into that which is good. And that you should be ashamed of doing such a thing, whether you knew the story behind the matter or not. And make you give it back.

Here is what is going to happen instead. You will read this and recognize yourself. And you will lie in your bed at night and think of all the pain and loss you have caused others and that others have caused you. You will acknowledge that everyone makes mis-takes. It happens. You will know that for the world to change, it must begin firmly with each one of us. We

must each tend our own garden, making it a place of fullness and thriving, a source of generosity and abundance, because those who take have not yet real-ized that the path to healing their deep emptiness is to give. But you will realize it. And you will be sorry.

In the morning, you will wake and you will retrieve the butterfly from where you have planted it and you will take it to the home of someone in need. And you will give it away, silently and anonymously. And there, among the dandeli-ons and clover, the butterfly will stand atop its iron spire. And it will awaken and bloom and grow. And gath-ering up with it the wrongs and sorrows that have gone before, it will lift up from its tower and it will fly far, far away.

Gift to a thief: A letter about redemptionGUEST VIEWBy NANCY SLICK

As of Wednesday:Yes: 76 percentNo: 23 percent

ONLINE POLLQ: The Poulsbo City Council is con-sidering streaming council meet-ings on www.cityofpoulsbo.com (live and on demand), instead of air-ing them on BKAT (limited airings). Would you support this change?

NorthKitsapHerald.com’s poll is informal, not scientific. It reflects opinions of site visitors who voluntarily participate. Results may not represent the opinions of the public as a whole.

Pam Slick ... thief stole garden trib-ute to her

a sitting commissioner to a vacancy.

“It’s kind of disappointing in a way that there are not more people interested in filling the position,” Bockus said. “But I’m happy to be able to continue serving in that capacity.”

Gilbert resigned because of health issues. Bockus will serve the remainder of Gilbert’s term, which ends in 2013.

“We’re going to be miss-ing Commissioner Gilbert. He was a good influence on

the port and had some great ideas,” Bockus said. But he is looking forward to the “fresh ideas” of new com-missioner Rutledge.

Bockus was appointed to the commission in February 2005, and elected to a full term in November that year.

In his bid for reelection, Bockus received 707 votes to Rutledge’s 1,233 votes in the Nov. 8 general election.

During the campaign, Bockus and Rutledge said they want the port to be a catalyst for more economic development and tourism in Poulsbo, and want to see the port district’s boundar-

ies enlarged so they match the city’s. Larger boundar-ies would mean a larger tax base and more revenue for port improvements.

B o c ku s an d Commissioner Tony DeCarlo are the sole com-missioners on the board

until January, when Rutledge takes office.

Port commissioners serve six-year terms, man-age a budget of just over $1 million and are compen-sated $100 per meeting they attend.

LITTLE BOSTON – Francine Swift is repre-senting the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe at the third White House Tribal Nations Conference, today at the U.S. Department of the Interior.

Suquamish Chairman Leonard Forsman is rep-resenting the Suquamish Tribe.

For the third year in a row, President Obama is hosting

a gathering of Native lead-ers in the nation’s capital to address the concerns of America’s First Peoples.

Swift, a Port Gamble S’Klallam council member, and Forsman are two of 565 Native leaders at the con-ference.

“As part of President Obama’s ongoing outreach to the American people, this con-ference will provide leaders from the 565 federally rec-ognized tribes the opportu-nity to interact directly with the President and represen-tatives from the highest lev-

els of his administration,” according to a statement from the White House.

“This will be the third White House Tribal Nations C o n f e r e n c e for the Obama Administration, and continues to build upon the President’s commitment to strengthen the nation-to-nation relationship with

Indian country.”Each federally recognized

tribe was invited to send one representative to attend the meeting.

Port Gamble S’Klallam is

a signatory of the 1855 Point No Point Treaty. Suquamish is a signatory of the 1855 Point Elliott Treaty. The U.S. government, represented by Gov. Isaac Stevens, negoti-ated treaties with S’Klallam and Suquamish leaders — the first government-to-government consultation — for acquisition of land to facilitate non-Native settle-ment in the region.

The signers received money and a commitment of education and health care assistance. They retained land for reservations, and retained fishing, gathering and hunting rights in their historical territories.

A reservation was estab-

lished at Skokomish; S'Klallam reservations were later established at Elwha, Jamestown and Port Gamble. The Suquamish reservation was established at Port Madison.

The signers never relin-quished their sovereignty, or right of self-government, as independent nations. Article Six of the United States Constitution estab-lishes the Constitution and the laws and treaties of the United States made in accordance with it as the supreme law of the land.

Today, the S’Klallam and Suquamish are involved in habitat restoration and resource protection in their

historical territory through the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission and through consultation with local governments.

The S’Klallam and Suquamish governments have departments which manage child and family services, cultural resources, early childhood education, economic development, health services, housing, natural resources, and pub-lic safety.

The Port Gamble S’Klallam reservation has an extended-campus site of Northwest Indian College, which offers two-year degrees and a four-year degree in Native Environmental Science.

Third annual meeting to address the concerns of Native communities

local Native artists, includ-ing Price, in its gallery. Peña said the focus is to recruit new artists who haven’t had the opportunity to showcase their work yet,

and have featured about three artists each year since 2007.

Price’s painting tech-nique is also unique. Although Port Gamble S’Klallam is Coast Salish, Ives taught him carving in the Northwest style. Price explained Coast Salish art

features circles and cres-cents, while his art uses U-shapes and ovoids, oval shapes with a flat bottom.

One of Price’s pieces that will stay at the college is a carved screen that he’s working on now for the longhouse, 7 feet by 10 feet — similar to the screen in

the Port Gamble S’Klallam House of Knowledge. He also carved a lectern for the college, which he said he was nervous about. His dad helped him with the car-pentry. “My dad helps me a lot,” Price said.

Price may have started as a carver, but his artistic

abilities have stretched to many mediums. He paints different symbols and scenes on plaques, paddles, rattles, even slippers, using fabric markers. But he’s been a part-time artist so far.

“I’m coming up at a crossroads now,” Price said. “I want to be able to suc-ceed as an artist and not stop doing what I want to do.”

However, he needs to be sure of financial stability for his family before com-mitting to his art full time. Price has three children: daughters Angelina, 18, and Reyna, 16, and son Manny, 8, who is autistic. He said his son keeps him balanced between his day job as bus driver for the Port Gamble S’Klallam Head Start pro-gram, and his artwork.

“If I can provide for him financially a little better, if I can make his life a little easier,” Price said, then he’ll continue as an artist.

Price enjoys working with the children at Head Start. He’s worked there for 16 years. Being a male role model is important for many of the children he sees in the program.

“For a couple of hours, [the children] have that consistency of seeing the same person every day.”

He also donated a piece of his to a recent fundraiser for a new early childhood education center in Little Boston; his carved panel of an orca family received the highest bid of all the art work, $1,140. His art even out-priced a donated print

by David Boxley, a well-known Tsimshian artist. Price said he finds there is a mutual respect between the artists he’s met and talked to, including Boxley.

“It gives me a bit more drive to take it to the next level,” he said.

Price sells most of his artwork at local bazaars, and is often contacted through the college or his Facebook page, S’Klallam Art. He is often asked to do custom work, and partners with friends who make other products, such as drums, which he then paints designs on.

“I do a lot of sketching at home, I’ll just sit and draw,” he said. “I’ll grab a piece of wood just to look at it for a while ... look at the grain, the size. What would fit in this area, will a wing [of an eagle] fit? Or just a head?”

Peña said Price’s experi-ence is typical of many Native artists she’s worked with: An individual who loves making art but doesn’t have the opportuni-ty to focus on it until much later. “[But] once they start getting out, there is so much demand for their art.”

KINGSTON — Fire commissioners from North Kitsap Fire & Rescue started their regular meeting Nov. 28 with a brief ceremony of gratitude and recognition.

Josh Sluys of Kingston and Rod Jensen of Poulsbo brought five teens back to shore after their make-shift raft broke apart in the strong currents and frigid waters off of Point No Point in July.

Sluys and Jensen hap-pened to be at the beach when NKF&R crews were dispatched to the location at 6:18 p.m. on July 27, after several callers phoned 911. The five were apparently being carried away by the current, and the cold water was sapping their ability to swim effectively.

While crews from NKF&R’s Kingston stations responded to the marina

for the district’s fire-rescue boat, the district’s Hansville crew was at the beach with-

in eight minutes of dispatch. Upon firefighters’ arrival, the teens were already safe

on shore — thanks to Sluys and Jensen.

According to sources such as the United States Coast Guard, the two res-cuers were right to assume that the teens didn’t have much more time. Although all five were strong swim-

mers, they’d been in the water long enough to begin experiencing the effects of cold-water immersion.

In Puget Sound’s waters, which average between 44 and 51 degrees Fahrenheit, the ability to swim or tread water can be compromised quickly as the victim starts to lose muscle coordination. In statements to firefighters immediately following their rescue, several of the teens expressed surprise at how quickly their swimming skills began to fail.

NKF&R Commission Chairman Steve Neupert presented each of the

men with a certificate that described their hero-ic efforts that day. One of the men’s family members, knowing that both are avid sportsmen, got Silverdale’s Wholesale Sports Outdoor Outfitters to donate two $25 gift cards as an additional reward for Sluys and Jensen. In addition, NKF&R fire-fighters are opening up their personal pockets to provide the two with gift cards from Silver City Restaurant and Brewery.

All five teens and family members were also present for the event, and the teens demonstrated their heartfelt and genuine thanks to the rescuers with cards, candy, handshakes and hugs.

BREMERTON — The Severe Weather Shelter at Bremerton Foodline will stay open through the week-end because of expected freezing weather.

The shelter will remain

open until Monday morn-ing. Hours of operation are 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. Guests will not be able to check into the shelter after 9 p.m.

Bremerton Food Line is located at 1600 12th St.,

Bremerton. This year there is only one severe weather shelter in Kitsap County.

Food Line was last used as a severe weather shelter Wednesday and Thursday, and on Nov. 17 and 18. Four

people stayed the night each night, according to Patti Peterson, executive director of Bremerton Foodline.

Jim Stowers of Kitsap Community Resources expects that number to

increase as people learn about the severe weather shelter. He said the regular homeless shelters in Kitsap are full or near full.

The severe weather shel-ter serves all residents of

Kitsap County who require safe overnight refuge where none is available.

For more information about the Severe Weather Shelter, call 211 or Stowers, (360) 473-2047.

Severe Weather Shelter will stay open tonight, Saturday, Sunday

By RICHARD WALKER [email protected]

LITTLE BOSTON — Skip George was a living encyclopedia of S’Klallam culture and history. And his commitment to pre-serve that knowledge will be appreciated generations from now.

He was raised in the old village on Point Julia by his grandparents and great-grandparents, who spoke the S’Klallam language and passed on to him their memories of S’Klallam life in the mid-1800s.

Long after the Bureau of Indian Affairs destroyed the Point Julia village in 1939, he could recall where individual families lived. He remembered where the herring spawning grounds were, knew where the fish-ing locations were, could explain why some shell middens were located fur-ther away from the beach.

He was a bridge between past, present and future: He traveled by canoe as a child and witnessed them being carved. He was involved in the Paddle to Seattle in 1989, the launch of the cul-tural renaissance called the Canoe Journey. And in his later years he enjoyed sit-ting on the beach, watching the young people pulling in canoes and speaking the old languages, singing the old songs and keeping the cul-ture alive.

He was a bridge as a historian as well: He was a keeper of oral history in the manner of his ances-tors, preserving that history so it could be recorded in the manner of 21st century archeology.

He was a phenom-enal historian,” said Josh

Wisniewski, historic pres-ervation officer for the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe. “He had a wealth of histori-cal and cultural knowledge. He was partially raised by his grandfather and great-grandfather, and he received knowledge from them that went back to mid-1800s.

“As we are doing arche-ology and other work to document the history of the tribe, and we can get direct information from some-one like Skip, it adds an immense amount of texture to the story.”

Wisniewski added, “It was a privileged experience for me (to work with him). He was a very warm and gracious individual.”

Mr. George passed away on Nov. 28 at Martha and Mary Health Care Services in Poulsbo. He was 81. Visitation is Monday at noon, followed by the ser-vice at 1 p.m., both in the S’Klallam Tribal Gym. Interment will follow in the tribal cemetery.

Mr. George was born Feb. 18, 1930, the son of Claude and Catherine George. His grandparents were William and Ellen Sigo George. His great-grandparents were Eddie and Lucy George.

Respected as he was as a S’Klallam historian, he is also remembered as a man of faith, a good storyteller with a sense of humor and a big laugh.

“He grew up at a time when it was tough for our people,” Port Gamble S’Klallam Chairman Jeromy Sullivan said. Mr. George told him about building homes after the move from Point Julia, pulling logs out of water and up the cliff-side so they could be milled for lumber. “It’s amazing to me to think of some of the logs that came from here. They’re nothing like we see now. They’re much smaller now.”

Mr. George said of the hard

work, “ ‘We knew it was for a good reason. We had to do it for our people,’ ” Sullivan recalled.

In his working career, Mr. George was a construc-tion worker, a fisherman, a longshoreman, according to Wisniewski. He worked for Pope & Talbot and attended welding school. He worked in a shipyard and helped build the Hood Canal Bridge.

But neither hardship nor hard work dampened his enthusiasm for life. He always had a story and was quick with a laugh, Sullivan said. “He was always happy … He really enjoyed him-self.”

And neither hardship nor hard work dampened his faith. Later in life, he attend-ed Northwest Bible School and became an ordained minister.

“He became a great spiri-tual elder here for our peo-ple,” Sullivan said. “One of the things I think is wonder-ful about him is he wasn’t afraid to let people know ‘Jesus died on the cross for

you and you should accept him as your savior.’”

Laurie Mattson, execu-tive director of tribal ser-vices, said Mr. George was a minister at the S’Klallam Worship Center and in the community at large, meet-ing individuals and families who needed prayer or when a loved one had passed on.

“A lot of families called him for prayer. He was so well-loved,” Mattson said. “I’m not a community mem-ber, but I loved him.”

Sullivan grew up a couple of houses from Mr. George’s house. “We would take

Skip’s trail to the beach and pick apples off his tree and he wouldn’t shoo us off his property,” he said.

Sullivan said Mr. George’s cancer had gone into remis-sion, but when it came back it came back aggressively. Still, as late as two months ago, Mr. George visited the Tribal Council.

“We’re a young coun-cil, and he really helped us understand what our tribal members went through to become what we are now,” Sullivan said. “I never expe-rienced the hardships of his generation, and I appreciate all the things they did for my generation and for my kids.”

Mr. George participated in recorded interviews with Wisniewski in 2010-11. The archeologist said Mr. George validated earlier information and brought forth new information. Once, Wisniewski located a shell midden that was located far from the beach. Mr. George informed him those shell middens marked areas where the people had camped when they were at risk of being raided by peo-ple from the North.

Wisniewski said Mr. George invested a lot of time in the interviews. “You lose people from that genera-tion, and once they’re gone, everything that they know goes with them, unless that information is recorded and someone like him is willing

and able to share that infor-mation.”

Sullivan said of Mr. George’s passing, “It is a loss to our tribe.”

Mr. George is survived by his wife, Betty; children, Carman, Linda and Doug George of Kingston; grand-children, Doug Pullen Jr. of LaPush, Debbie Payne of Kingston, Norman Jones of Kingston, LouAnne Pullen of Portland, Oregon, Dale (Angela) George of Kingston, Bridgette Woodward of Kingston, Krystyn Purser of Kingston; siblings, Mary Fulton and Charlie George of Kingston, Louella Abrahamson of Spokane, Shirley Gresham, Sandy Powers, Theodore Moran and Louis Moran; 12 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchil-dren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, four brothers and four sisters.

POULSBO — The Gluten Free Bakery and Market opened 18 months ago in Poulsbo Village, riding the wave of national interest in gluten-free foods.

By some appearances, the bakery and market seemed to be doing well. The bak-ery and market was a pop-ular feature of the Poulsbo Farmers Market. Its custom-ers hailed from all over Kitsap County. Shoppers were lined up Thanksgiving Eve to pick up their pie orders.

On most mornings, the homey smell of fresh-baked goods wafted down the hall-way of the large 8th Avenue building that it shares with the Chamber of Commerce, Curves, Galletta School of Dance, Sound Publishing Co., Sunrise Dental, and other businesses.

But the bakery and market never made enough money to promote itself. And it’s tucked out of view; its entrance is in the back of the building, not streetside.

“It’s been a while coming,” owner Martha Hofmann said Nov. 25. “The location is a difficult one. And we never got ahead enough to do more in the way of advertising.”

So, the next day, the

Gluten Free Bakery and Market opened for the last time. The bakery and market was expected to spend this week filling final orders, then the ovens will be turned off for good.

Hofmann, a retired law-yer who specialized in envi-ronmental and American Indian law, was inspired to start the bakery and market after developing gluten-free recipes for her husband, who has Celiac disease, an auto-immune disorder.

Gluten is a protein com-posite found in foods pro-cessed from wheat and relat-ed grain species, including barley and rye. Gluten gives elasticity to dough, helping it to rise and to keep its shape,

and often giving the final product a chewy texture. Some people with autoim-mune disorders are allergic to gluten.

Gluten-free baked goods and breads are made from amaranth, arrowroot, buck-wheat, chestnut, cornflour from maize, cornmeal, millet meal, polenta, potato flour, rice, sago, quinoa, sorghum,

soy flour and tapioca.

Hof mann estimates that 10 percent of the Kitsap p opu l at i on eats gluten-free. (An u n r e l a t e d blog, Gluten Free Foodies, by Lisa Garza, is one of the most popu-

lar blogs posted on Sound Publishing Co. websites.)

For the gluten-free gour-met, the bakery and market was cloud nine. On this par-ticular day, the bakery case was stocked with brownies, cinnamon rolls, cranberry/pumpkin/walnut muffins, macaroons, and pumpkin bars.

The refrigerated section

was stocked with burritos (beef and potato, chicken and cheese, and vegetarian), chicken nuggets, crab cakes, lasagna, Thai-style chicken curry, brown rice tortillas, veggie burgers, and waffles.

On the shelves: snacks, mixes and spreads. Mainstream items included Arrowhead bottled water, organic iced coffee, and V8.

But alas, a unique experi-ence for the palate was not enough. The bakery and market pulled in between 30-35 customers a day.

“In order to survive as a business, our territory needs to be much larger,” Hofmann said.

And so, two full-time bak-ers and two part-time bakers are looking for jobs. As for Hofmann, “I’m going to take care of my health.”

POULSBO — The Poulsbo Farmers Market has extended its season to Dec. 17.

Don’t let the wintry chill dissuade you from going. Vendors are situ-ated up against the west side of the Doctor’s Clinic/GroupHealth parking lot, where they have the ben-efit of a long building to help protect against westerly winds.

Parking is now available very close to the market site, making a quick dash in for shopping easier. Vendors have been encouraged by the market to bring back-walls to help provide a wind break in the market area, and vendors have pushed their displays further back into their booths to allow customers to stand under cover while they browse.

Covered seating areas are

available. On especially cold or rainy days, a large car-port canopy with side walls is available to stand or sit under. Two patio heaters are located near the market booth and eating area for customers to warm up.

At the farmers mar-ket, you can still get art, custom-made wood prod-ucts, fresh-baked goods, grass-fed beef, hand-made wool items, and fresh beets,

Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, celery, daikon, gar-lic, greens, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, parsnips, potatoes, pumpkins, radishes, shal-lots, spinach, winter squash, tea leaves, and turnips.

“We have heaters and cov-ered seating and hot bever-ages available. The season is winding down, but we still have a lot going on — farm-ers farming and crafters crafting,” market manager

Brian Simmons said.Market hours are

Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., on the corner of 7th and Iverson.

The Poulsbo Farmers Market has more than 60 vendors and is affiliated with the Kitsap Community Agricultural Alliance, Kitsap Master Gardeners, Puget Sound Fresh, Seattle Tilth, WSU’s Center for Sustaining Agriculture and

Natural Resources, and the Washington State Farmers Markets Association. The Farmers Market served more than 30,000 customers in the 2010 season. Several businesses that started at the market have gone on to open storefront locations.

Members of the market’s board of directors are working on finding a permanent loca-tion for a year-round market, possibly on Viking Avenue.

BAINBRIDGE — James Olsen says his unsuccess-ful campaign for Kitsap County Sewer District 7 on Bainbridge Island has not derailed his campaign for 23rd District state House of Representatives in 2012.

Olsen received 50 votes to winner Chris Dew’s 214. But Olsen says the race was just a warmup for 2012; he filed his declaration of can-didacy for the House one week after he filed his dec-laration of candidacy for the Sewer District board.

“The Sewer District results were outstanding from my standpoint,” Olsen wrote in an email. “I met many great people and offered to serve

with an open heart. The fel-low elected is another good fellow who has been doing this for several terms.”

Olsen said the campaign was “a fabulous opportunity

to speak to 400 households, only a minor subpart of the 178,000 voters in the 23rd Legislative District.”

His candidacy spurred a Facebook opposition page,

titled “Character Counts — Defeat James Olsen.”

His wife, Mary Dombrowski, ran for Bainbridge Island port commissioner, finishing second of three candidates for Position 2.

Olsen, 61, is a retired U.S. Coast Guard captain. A Republican, he ran for state representative in 2010, receiving 23,812 votes to Christine Rolfes’ 32,351.

During that campaign, he presented himself as an advocate of open govern-ment who filmed public events and pushed them on to local public access television stations. After state Sen. Phil Rockefeller resigned to accept a gover-nor-appointed post on the regional Northwest Power and Conservation Council, he criticized the process which allowed Rolfes to be appointed to the Senate and lawyer Drew Hansen to be appointed to Rolfes’ House seat. Rockefeller, Rolfes and Hansen are Democrats, as are the Kitsap County com-missioners who appointed Rolfes and Hansen.

Beginning in 2004, he and his wife lobbied for changes

in local school curriculum regarding the forced remov-al and internment of civil-ians and permanent resident aliens of Japanese ancestry during World War II.

He and his wife object-ed to the curriculum as biased, lacking context and encouraging negative value judgments about the Bush administration and the Patriot Act.

According to a story at the time in the Bainbridge Island Review, the couple said it was unfair to second-guess the forced relocation of Japanese as wrong, con-sidering the bombing of Pearl Harbor and govern-ment concerns over espio-nage at the time.

Olsen: Sewer district race was warm-up to 2012 campaignJames Olsen, in a YouTube video he produced for his candidacy for the sewer district board on Bainbridge Island. He’s now focusing on his 2012 race for 23rd District state representative. James Olsen / YouTube

POULSBO — To put a toy car in the hands of every child who needs a toy.

And not just any toy car — a handmade, wood car, assembled and delivered by a team of loving volunteers.

That’s the goal of Wally Harrison and his Wally Cars, simple wood toy cars with wheels that the recipi-ent can personalize and play with.

Since 2008, Harrison’s Poulsbo Place garage has been a Santa’s workshop of sorts: Some 7,000 cars have been delivered to children in 20 countries by vari-ous philanthropic travel-ers, as well as Children of the Nations and Operation Christmas Child.

Cars are also gifted to children at Eli’s House, a home for victims of domes-tic violence; and the Royal Family Kids Camp, a local camp which hosts aban-doned, abused and neglect-ed children.

You can sponsor a Wally Car for $10. That covers the cost of materials and ship-ping. Harrison’s goal is to make and distribute 2,000 Wally Cars this year.

This year’s corporate sponsors include Blue Sky Printing, Central Market, EHL Insurance, Kingston Lumber, Liberty Bay Bank, and Office Max.

The idea for Wally Cars goes back about 20 years. Harrison and his wife,

Marge, joined the Peace Corps when they were in their 50s. In Jamaica, they were interested in the makeshift toys that children played with.

In his working career, he’s been a boat builder and a furniture maker. After mov-ing to Poulsbo Place, he began manufacturing play furniture, PeggZ, which children can take apart and put back together again. After retiring from that career, he began tinkering and Wally Cars was born.

With a band saw, a pair of high-powered sanders, and volunteers, he can turn 2 by 6-inch fir scraps into doz-ens of toy cars in a matter of days.

“When I get a car done or near done, I’m thinking, some little kid’s going to be tickled with this,” he said in an earlier interview. “Now I can make hundreds of kids happy. It’s tremendously sat-isfying for me.”

For $10, you can put a toy car in a child’s hands

R udolph, Frosty and Santa are synonymous

with Christmas.Th e congregation at

Rolling Bay Presbyterian Church on Bainbridge Island would like to remind folks of another important Christmas fi gure: Jesus.

“Th ere are a lot of great displays to drive

around and see Christ-mas lights, but there really isn’t a Bethlehem,” church member Dianne Th ompson said.

On Dec. 2 and 3, the parking lot of the church will be transformed into a 1st Century village, complete with Roman soldiers, wise men, an inn and, of course, a manger.

Visitors can stay cozy See BETHLEHEM, Page 2

as they drive through the makeshift city of Bethle-hem, transporting them back in time. Th ey will wit-ness a bustling city, nomad encampments and town fi xtures such as the tax col-lector and bakery.

“We are trying to make the scene as authentic as possible, without going crazy,” coordinator Molly Dunn said. Actors will be allowed to wear glasses (a

relatively new invention) but children are encouraged to keep their light-up shoes at home.

More than 117 costumes have been created for the townspeople. Members of the congregation have had great fun choosing their characters. Costumes range from ornate and lavish for the very wealthy, to tattered and worn for the poor — and come in all sizes, from extra-extra large to extra small.

Dunn, who was part of a

similar experience at a church in California, brought the idea to Rolling Bay Presbyterian in mid-September. She expected the congregation to start planning it for the 2012 holiday season. Instead, the idea was met with such enthusiasm it was decided to move ahead with it this year.

Th e diff erence between Dunn’s church in California and Rolling Bay is many of the California congregants work in the movie industry

and have easy access to lighting and props.

“But here we have livestock right across the street,” Dunn said.

And although they may not work in Hollywood, congregants at Rolling Bay have proven their own with set and costume design. Marathon sewing sessions took place in the church basement. Th ose who lacked sewing skills cut fabric or ironed.

Props were collected,

timber cut from yards, and permits secured from the city. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was this Bethlehem. Pastor Marty Shelton-Janck estimates that when the entire pro-duction is complete, more than 5,000 volunteer hours will have been spent.

“Th e hope is to make this an annual event and invite anyone in the community and other churches to join us next year,” Shelton-Janck said.

But for now, Rolling Bay is pleased by the eff orts of its members.

“It’s been very nice to see new members involved, as well as people like me who have been here for 35 years,” Th ompson said. “We have a wide spectrum of ages and it’s fun to see how people have been able to plug themselves into the project.”

Teens dressed as Mary mingle with older members dressed as wise men. Babies crawl on the fl oor among wooden shields and play swords.

“Even if we stopped

right now and nobody came, it’s been worth what we’ve done so far,” said Ron Birum, of the building committee. “We’ve already gotten something out of it just by doing this together.”

Shelton-Janck hopes people enjoy the Bethlehem Experience and connect their enjoyment with Christ’s birth.

“If they walk away with that, that’s plenty,” he said.

Th ere won’t be donation boxes or people pounding the pulpit. Th is is designed to be a time to refl ect and

wonder about the time sur-rounding Christ’s birth.

“Th ere has been a heck of a lot of prayer going on for good weather and for the safety of people,” Th ompson said.

“It’s been a fabulous project and we want it to be wonderful for the whole community.”

Dear Erin,What’s the best gift to get

grandparents, or the people who have it all?

— Ideas needed in Indi-anola

Dear Ideas,Th e old saying, “It’s the

thought that counts,” really rings true. A gift shouldn’t be about the object, but should rather spring forth from your thought. So sit back and think about the people you are shopping for this holiday season.

What are their hobbies or interests? Being aware of their interests makes the receiver feel cared for and important. From robot building to collecting

antique dolls, it seems like every hobby has a magazine to go along with it. Why not a subscrip-tion?

If the person lives locally, how about the gift of desserts for a year? Each month, drop by a new item you baked or purchased. Not only will they enjoy the treat, but they will enjoy your visit.

Perhaps your recipient needs some help around the house. Design a coupon

book tailored to his or her needs such as, “Good for

raking the yard.” If you go this route, stand by your word and make sure to periodically check-in with the recipients, reminding them of your off ers. Th is helps to erase any awkward-ness they may have in redeeming

your coupons.Experiences are always

appreciated. How about tickets to the local com-

munity theater or movie theater? For fun, you could wrap up the tickets with an inexpensive pair of theater glasses or oversized candy.

For grandparents, you can’t go wrong with personalized items such as a calendar featuring the grandchildren, or notecards made from their artwork.

With a bit of thought, the receiver will be touched by your gift . People can smell “easy gift giving” miles away —in the form of hastily purchased, generic items. Vow this year to think before purchasing. Not only will the recipients be pleased with your eff orts, but you’ll be excited to give the gift as well.

Dear Erin,How do you cope when

holiday music is playing all around you and you can’t stand to listen to it?

— No more Fa-la-la-ing in Olalla

Dear Fa-la-la,You aren’t alone in your

misery. Th ere is a Face-book page titled, “I hate Christmas songs,” with 696 followers.

But short of staying home for the next month, or con-stantly wearing ear muff s, I think you’re out of luck.

Just like the super-early shopping hours on Th anks-giving night, it seems like holiday music began

prematurely this year. Th e week before Halloween, I was shopping at a local grocery store and heard “Jingle Bell Rock,” followed by a song by the Black Eyed Peas. It was almost like they were easing us in to the holiday season.

Your best bet may be to use earbuds or earplugs when entering any store, cafe, elevator or gas station. And by all means, avoid the 24-hour holiday music radio station.

BY ANDY PERDUE AND ERIC DEGERMANWine Press Northwest

Brothers Bob and Roger Gamache began growing

wine grapes on a plateau above the Columbia River in 1982, primarily for Ste. Michelle Wine Estates. But in 2002, they decided to launch a winery — named after their family — with the help of Charlie Hoppes.

Very quickly, Gamache Vintners wines became highly acclaimed.

Roger oversees the viticulture side of the busi-ness, while Bob handles the winery, and their synergy is paying off.

Their wine was originally made at Cañon de Sol near Richland, Wash., where Hoppes made his own Fi-delitas label, and the broth-ers opened a tasting room not far away. They’ve since relocated to a posh tasting room at the Vintners Vil-lage in the Yakima Valley town of Prosser, within walking distance of about a dozen other wineries.

The vineyard is near the town of Basin City, nearly

30 miles north of Pasco, an area long renowned for its ability to ripen quality wine grapes and other crops. Gamache’s estate vineyard

is 185 acres in size, and the brothers manage another vineyard that is about 220 acres in size. Additionally, they farm 215 acres of tree

fruits. Not long ago, they purchased a five-acre block on venerable Red Moun-tain, adjacent to Fidelitas. The block is unplanted, as the Gamaches wait for water to arrive through a project with the Kennewick Irrigation District.

Gamache sells grapes to about 20 different wineries, and about 10 percent of its grapes is used for the estate label.

Here are a few Gamache wines we’ve tasted in recent weeks. Check with your favorite wine merchant or order directly from the win-ery (509-786-7800).

■ Gamache Vintners 2006 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, $28. This big Cab from estate fruit is a beauty, opening with aromas of blackberries, black cherries, raspberries, mint, vanilla and pomegranates. The ample palate is dominated by ripe black fruit, includ-ing black cherries, as well as dark chocolate, blueberries

and olives on the finish. The bold tannins are well inte-grated through the lengthy finish.

■ Gamache Vintners 2006 Gamache-Champoux Vineyard Select Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, $40. The Gamache brothers and Horse Heaven Hills grape grower Paul Champoux are family, so they combine grapes an-nually for this reserve-level Cabernet Sauvignon. It is loaded with dark fruit, in-cluding aromas of blackber-ries, black cherries and dark plums. It’s a big wine on the palate, with flavors of black cherries, plums and black pepper. Opulent tannins back all the fruit and make it approachable in its youth, though we think it also will age beautifully for the next decade or so.

■ Gamache Vintners 2006 Estate Syrah, Co-lumbia Valley, $28. This stunning Syrah opens with big, jammy aromas of ripe blackberries, dark plums, boysenberry jam and a

whisper of smoke, followed by flavors of black cherries, black currants, black lico-rice, mineral, black tea and black pepper. The tannins and acidity do a nice job of backing up the ample fruit.

■ Gamache Vintners 2007 Estate Malbec, Columbia Valley, $28. Malbec, a minor red grape in Bordeaux, has become a major force in Washing-ton the past few years, not unlike the growth in Syrah a decade ago. This example opens with aromas of black cherries, ripe plums, pipe tobacco and cedar, followed by flavors of purple fruit such as plums and huckle-berries, as well as ripe Bing cherries and black pepper. It is beautifully balanced with integrated tannins, leading to a lengthy finish.

■ Gamache Vintners 2008 Estate Boulder Red, Columbia Valley, $18. This blend of Bordeaux variet-ies adds a splash of Syrah (8 percent). The aromas include dried Bing cherry, citrus, cedar and a bit of leafiness from the Cabernet Franc (16 percent). It’s lively and juicy on the palate with Marionberries and plums. Subdued tannins give way to a pinch of ground pepper in the finish.

FEET FIRST

Taking care of certain foot conditions early will prevent them from developing into problems that are more serious, uncomfortable, and difficult to treat. Ingrown toenails may seem minor to many people, but they can pierce the skin and allow

bacteria to enter. Pay attention to heel pain too, as it can indicate a fracture, a tight Achilles tendon, or a pinched nerve. It can also be the result of tissue inflammation. Pain in the back of the foot behind the ankle could be Achilles tendonitis. If not treated early, it could get worse and the tendon can rupture. Have ankle sprains treated early, or they can contribute to instability in the ankle.

Woman and her dog die in house fire: Investigators continue to gather informa-tion in an effort to determine the cause of a house fire Nov.

26 that resulted in the death of a woman and her dog.

The Kitsap County Coro-ner’s Office determined that smoke inhalation caused the death of Shirley Dillen-burg, 67, whose body was

discovered inside the Port Madison-area home.

By the time neighbors called 911, they could see flames coming from the large living room window of the 800-square-foot home,

BREMERTON PATRIOT

Catholics introduced to

new worship language: Catholics in Bremerton experienced a whole new language of worship at Mass Nov. 27. Along with changes to familiar and cyclical hymns, the liturgy — or words that are said at Mass — have also undergone significant revisions.

“The Lord be with you,” said Rev. Derek Lappe to his parish at the first advent Sunday Mass.

“And also with-” started a few members of the congregation, their habit to

reply with the familiar phrase “and also with you.” But they quickly correct themselves with the new liturgy, “And with your spirit.”

The Vatican approved the changes in April 2010, and churches were granted the power to incorporate some of the new phrases as early as September of this year. Our Lady Star of the Sea parish in Bremerton began replacing the most familiar sacred phrases five weeks

“That one is the hardest because it’s on your tongue,” said Anna Vasquez, who has been a member of this parish for 18 years.

Vasquez and other parish members have taken the changes in stride. Some have even eagerly anticipated the change, believing that the language brings a more poetic and spiritual tone to Mass.

CENTRAL KITSAP REPORTER

Glass artist restores his-

toric building: When glass artist Lisa Stirrett first walked into the old glass factory on the corner of Silverdale Way and Bucklin Hill, she saw more than a crumbling building.

The renowned Pacific Northwest artist, best known locally for her work at the Bremerton ferry termi-nal, said that many in the community viewed the old Dahl Glass Company as an “eyesore” which was too run down to be left standing in the middle of the busy thoroughfare on Silverdale Way, just south of Bucklin Hill Road.

“It was ready to fall down when we saw it, but I jumped up and down anyway. I was so excited. My dad, who is actually a realtor, laughed at

me,” Stirrett said.The building itself is a

piece of Silverdale history. Its wood-truss ceiling and domed exterior are a blast from the architectural past, and its previous owners were prominent figures in the town’s commerce in the 1940s and 1950s.

Stirrett said it was paramount that she keep everything as historically accurate as possible. That means keeping the look of the original wood ceilings, reinforced by a network of trusses. She will also leave the original half divider walls and a vintage spindle to crank open the garage door.

300 run in Bangor Tur-key Trot: The weather held out for the 300 runners who lined up for the Turkey Trot at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor on Nov. 26.

The annual 5K and 1 mile race was open to military families, all commands, Defense Department civil-ians, retirees, and anyone else with base access and the need to run.

“We had an overwhelming number of pre-registrations.

When I heard that snow was forecasted, I thought, ‘Oh, no!’ ” said Julia Krassin, Bangor fitness manager.

Of those on the course, a large number were military dependent families with infants in strollers and kids running alongside their parents.

“November is the month of military families, so we made sure there was a new family division included,” said Lisa Bertolacci, event coordinator.

While many ran for fun, just as many ran for glory.

The Turkey Trot and POW MIA runs are big challenges within the Captain’s Cup Championship, an annual competition among the sub-marine groups.

Mathes wins mayor’s race by fi ve votes, prompt-ing manual recount: Tim Matthes won the election for Port Orchard mayor by fi ve votes.

The Kitsap County Audi-tor’s offi ce certifi ed the elec-tion results Tuesday morning, and the fi nal tally shows Matthes with 2,442 votes

and incumbent Mayor Lary Coppola with 2,437.

The Auditor’s Offi ce web-site posted this statement: “The Port Orchard mayoral race is separated by less than 1/4 of 1 percent which means we will be conducting a manual recount.”

The Independent called Matthes for his reaction to the election outcome Tues-day morning, but the call went to his voicemail.

Coppola, reached by phone Tuesday morning, said, “There is going to be a recount, and we’ll just see what happens.”

At fi rst, he said he would reserve his comments “until the outcome is fi nal.”

However, he added, “We ran a clean campaign all the way through, start to fi nish,

and I have to believe that integrity wins, and if integrity was easy, everybody would do it.”

Asked how he would spend the rest of the day Tuesday, he responded, “I’m still the mayor until Dec. 31. I’ve got work to do.”

County elections man-ager Dolores Gilmore said the recount process will begin Dec. 5, when ballots will be retrieved and sorted by precinct. The next day, the actual recounting of ballots will be done, with two people checking each ballot. Two matching counts of each precinct’s ballots are required before the next precinct is counted.

BY RON CORCORANSPECIAL TO KITSAP WEEK

It is unlikely that you are familiar with the 3rd century Turkish man

who became history’s first “annual gift-giver.” Yes, the heritage of today’s Santa Claus has been an untold story — until now — and, as you are about to discover, it is one with a few sur-prises.

By reading this story, you will learn how several of today’s Christmas traditions began — and why.

So, here we go …The story of annual gift-

giving begins more than 1,700 years ago in the old city of Myra in the country of Turkey.

Have you ever heard of the city of Myra? Probably not. It doesn’t exist as a city anymore. However, that old city does have a unique linkage to our present day Christmas celebrations and pageantry.

Historical records of that era indicate that rock relics discovered about 2,200 years ago in the City of Myra were found to exude a clear, watery liquid with a

fragrance similar to that of rosewater. This liquid was believed to possess mysti-cal powers and was very highly-valued.

Because of the name of the city (Myra) in which these water-producing rock relics were discovered, the liquid was named myrrh.

Have you heard of myrrh? Of course you have. It’s known to have been given as a special gift (along with gold and frankin-cense) by a far-originated, camel-propelled, westward-leading, star-following royalty who traveled in a threesome. These three men were also reputed to be wise.

Fourth century Turk-ish history then relates the story of a very wealthy man

who lived in Myra — a man who (because he had experienced such good fortune in his life) wanted to become generous. So he decided to disperse some of his wealth to the less-fortu-nate residents of his city.

Of particular signifi-cance, the man decided to disseminate gifts of con-siderable value: gold coins, other precious metals and fabrics, and fragrant substances — even a little myrrh.

The man created a gift-distribution plan that was both unique and memo-rable. In fact, the manner in which his gifts were to be distributed 1,700 years ago just might sound a little familiar to you.

His plan entailed an

itinerary of traipsing from rooftop-to-rooftop throughout the city, descending (inside) the chimneys of his intended gift-receivers, and leaving gifts in front of each domi-cile’s fireplace. As regards the schedule, the man’s gifting was to be done late at night while the recipients were fast asleep.

(Today, such activities might be referred to by our local law enforcement offi-cials as “third-degree feloni-ous breaking and entering” but, again, this was 1,700 years ago.)

And so, the man’s first rooftop “gift-giving” escapade was conducted, and was so successful that he decided to do the same thing again next year. And the year after that. And the year after that.

— Next week: The first guy who wore red and white.

Gift giving: The early years

BREMERTON — “Angels We Have Heard on High Street Vol II” is a CD of holiday favorites created by Bremerton’s saxophone and flute virtuoso Mark Lewis and 22 other Northwest musicians to benefit the Bremerton Foodline.

The roster of musicians includes Overton Berry, a a voting member for the Grammys and a regular performer at major North-west jazz festivals. Berry has worked with such jazz greats as Dave Brubeck, Art Foxall, Vonne Griffin, Peggy Lee, Carmen McRae and Joe Pass.

The CD Release Party will be Dec. 2 at El Coral Mexican Restaurant and Amy Burnett Gallery, and the CD will be available through the month.

The CD is free in ex-change for a $15 donation to the Foodline.

All time and materials for the project were donated by the musicians. The songs were recorded this year in Bremerton. Most were recorded at Audio Daddio Studio.

“I’ll be Home for Christmas,” “What Child is This,” and “The Christmas Song” were recorded live at Mark Lewis’s weekly Friday jazz gig at El Coral. “Jingle Bells” was recorded by Rick White at his studio. Ira Langlois provided his handmade-in-Bremerton semigrand piano for “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.”

Listen to an audio sam-pler of a few of the 22 songs at www.marklewismusic.com/music/473220.

The CD is available at a number of locations, including:

■ Audio Daddio Studio, (360) 692-2540.

■ Bremerton Foodline, 1600 12th St., Bremerton, (360) 479-6188.
