POULSBO — Students at North Kitsap High School spoke of the desperation they’ve seen, of peers that have fallen through the cracks, without a permanent place to sleep at night.

Homeless youth are a sad real-ity in Kitsap County, and a few organizations have come togeth-er to provide a better alternative for those in the North End of the county. The Rotary Club of Poulsbo-North Kitsap and Coffee Oasis, a nonprofit coffee shop and homeless teen center in Bremerton, have teamed up to establish a teen drop-in center in Poulsbo.

“Not all kids who [are homeless] made choice to be homeless or run away,” said Marilyn Larrabee, out-reach volunteer with Stand Up for Kids in Bremerton. “The majority of them are teens who have had some horrific family history.”

Stand Up for Kids is one resource Coffee Oasis uses to help at-risk and homeless children. Larrabee was bolstered by the community support she saw for a teen drop-

in center at Saturday’s meeting, hosted by the Rotary Club, Coffee Oasis and the City of Poulsbo.

Meredith Green, president-elect of the Rotary Club, said the club hopes the $19,600 it raised in 2011 will be a “catalyst” for a larger effort to bring services to Poulsbo. Green hopes the money will inspire others to help fund and support the center, including

the Port Gamble S’Klallam and Suquamish tribes, service clubs,

schools, churches, and social ser-vices such as Kitsap Community Resources.

More than 150 people attended the forum in the Poulsbo City Hall council chambers. Green and Coffee Oasis director Dave Frederick said they heard more positive testimony for why the community needs the teen center.

Center for homeless teens proposed in Poulsbo’s former Public Works offices

Working to break the cycleFrom left, Poulsbo-North Kitsap Rotary Club president-elect Meredith Green listens as Jason Thompkins talks about his experi-ences with the Coffee Oasis teen drop-in center. He was home-less as a teen.

Mike Scott / Contributed

Jason Thompkins spoke about spending time on the streets when he was 13. Green said instead of taking him to jail when he was picked up, a Bremerton police officer took him to Coffee Oasis.

“Now he’s the father of three and a productive citizen,” she said. “At least he’s not in jail like a lot of the kids who start out that way.”

Poulsbo City Council member Jim Henry, who works as a greeter at Walmart, said he wants to help those teens who wan-der Walmart just for the warmth.

Green said they know of about 160 teens reported as homeless by the North Kitsap School District, but that number isn’t accurate. Teens who have dropped

out or transferred, or whose parents don’t report them, are not included, and those are the teens that Green, Frederick and the other supporters want to help.

“The idea is to draw them into a place where they have a positive environment and they can learn about set-ting goals and making some

good choices,” she said.Coffee Oasis began in

1996 as a Christian minis-try — Frederick is a min-ister — and evolved into an organization that does outreach to homeless youth, and provides case manage-ment and job training.

“We’ve had great relation-ships,” with local business-

es, Frederick said. “There’s been no increase in crime because of our presence.”

Coffee Oasis is expanding into a overnight emergency youth shelter in Bremerton.

At a Rotary Club meet-ing in early 2011, Frederick shared what Coffee Oasis is and what he hopes it will become as a resource for North End youth. Soon afterward, Rotary began a fundraising campaign to bring a homeless teen center to Poulsbo.

Green said club members spoke with city officials and found a compatible space — the former Public Works building on 8th Avenue and Iverson Street — for Coffee Oasis.

“The location is an ideal

location — it’s vacant, already built, walking dis-tance from school [and] from town, [near] the exist-ing bus line, and adjacent to the library, which provides great resource,” Green said.

Mayor Becky Erickson, who served as moderator at the meeting, said because Coffee Oasis is a nonprof-it, the city could offer the 2,000-square-foot space at a subsidized rate of $400 a month, to cover the main-tenance cost of the build-ing. The lease would need to be approved by the City Council.

The center would not be an overnight shelter.

Erickson said a few com-munity members have asked whether this service is needed in Poulsbo. But at the forum — the major-ity support from the crowd, and the plan Rotary, Coffee Oasis and the city presented — it seemed the community recognizes the need.

“We don’t have a lot of time to reinvent the wheel,” Larrabee said. “These people

are homeless now, they’re freezing now, their getting pneumonia now.

“Coffee Oasis is proven to work. We’re all resources that use each other already.”

If the City Council approves the lease, the plan is to remodel the building and recruit and train staff and volunteers by March. Green said she hopes the coffee business can be up and running by May, and staff and volunteer recruitment completed by September.

“I’m excited for this to happen,” Frederick said. “It becomes more than just helping hurting youth, it becomes a community [working] together, embrac-ing this.”

Larrabee added, “If we don’t help these kids now, they may not get a second chance somewhere else ... this is really a preven-tion. We want to help them become the positive citizens I know they really want to be.”

PORT ORCHARD — The nearly month-long inves-tigation is over. And now Kitsap County Prosecuting Attorney Russell Hauge is reviewing the investiga-tion report and will decide whether charges are war-ranted in the police shoot-ing death of a Suquamish man.

Thomas Anthony Black, 44, was killed Dec. 8 when

police attempted to serve an arrest warrant on Stacy Callihoo, 42, who was in the Black home. The war-rant was issued by Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribal Court and was being served by Port Gamble S’Klallam, Suquamish and Kitsap County Sheriff ’s officers.

Police said they told Black, who was seated, to keep his hands where they could see them. They said they shot him when he raised his hands holding what they thought was a gun. The investigation determined Black was unarmed. A toy gun was reportedly found in the room, although Black’s sister, Sherri, who lived with her brother, said they did

not have a toy gun.Black was sitting on a day-

bed in the corner of the liv-ing room when he was shot, according to Sherri, about 15 feet from the front sliding glass door. After shots were fired, police retreated from the house and secured the area. SWAT officers and a crisis negotiator went to the scene. Callihoo didn't come out of the house for two hours. Officers then entered the house and found Black dead.

Callihoo, who is Port Gamble S’Klallam, was booked into county jail for failure to appear in tribal court for a probation viola-tion; he was on probation for indecent liberties and

assault. He is now serving two years in Chehalis Tribal Jail.

Hauge was unavail-able for comment. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Tim Drury said Hauge received the report in a binder Jan. 5, and could make a decision within two weeks.

Drury said that although the shooting took place within the boundaries of the Port Madison Reservation, any charges would be filed by the prosecuting attorney because the shooting took place on fee-simple land – that is, land that has passed from Native ownership to non-Native ownership; Black was not Native.

Because of the checker-

board of Native and non-Native land ownership on the reservation, sheriff 's deputies and Suquamish police are often jointly dis-patched to calls, Sheriff ’s spokesman Deputy Scott Wilson said.

Wilson said investigators are not disclosing who fired the fatal shots — that will be up to Hauge — but did say it was not a sheriff ’s officer.

In a statement issued Dec. 15, Suquamish Police Chief Mike Lasnier said body cameras worn by his officers captured the circumstances leading to the shooting.

“When a subject in a dark room full of police officers refuses multiple commands to show their hands, and

then suddenly reaches and swings up with what appears to be a gun, any sane person knows how the officers are going to react,” Lasnier’s statement read.

“The fact that the gun found near the subject was not an operational firearm should not be misinterpret-ed. The Lakewood Police recently arrested an armed robber who had commit-ted over 30 robberies with a 'toy' gun. The robber wasn’t released 'because it’s not a real gun'; he’s being charged with the robberies ... Law enforcement officers can not hesitate when a subject suddenly produces a fire-arm, or assume it’s a toy."

Can’t imagine being a homeless teen

There is a modern-day Poulsbo historical connection to the home-less teen/young person coffee house that should be mentioned.

The original owners of the Coffee Oasis were Poulsbo native Jeff Driscoll and his wife Carla. Jeff and Carla were members of Vinland Lutheran Church when they opened the coffee house in a small building just down the block from Olympic College. It was Jeff ’s dream to provide a safe place with a Christian atmosphere for students to study and connect.

While Jeff ’s coffee house dream was successful, he finally sold it after realizing he was being called to ordained ministry; he is now a Lutheran pastor. Jeff is the son of Judy Driscoll, author and devoted member of the Poulsbo Historical Society, and Jeff ’s dad is a teacher at North Kitsap High School.

On a side note about this, the Harrison Medical Center Emergency Department at the Silverdale campus has been sup-porting the Coffee Oasis kids at Christmas for the past three years. It is our joy to serve them in this small way. I cannot imagine being homeless as a child, can you?

Kay GearllachPoulsbo

Ideas to financially improve our schools

An open letter to North Kitsap School District Superintendent Richard Jones and other Kitsap County superintendents:

During these hard economic times, everyone is strapped for funds. In an effort that we may both must honor our responsibilities to educate our county’s’ children, and instead of us property owners always carrying the lion’s share, I recommend the following previ-ously adopted by the Ellensburg School District:

If your child is playing in the local youth basketball league this winter, it cost $70 to participate; and $70 or $100 to participate in baseball or softball this spring. For complete plan and/or article, please go to www.dailyrecordnews.com.

Additionally, I strongly feel that it is time we start charging renters, especially those who have children in our county’s schools, a 3 percent annual fee based on their annual net income. These fees should have a 7 percent cap and a tax write-off.

Additionally, our county’s’ schools should require parental involvement [not just PTA and/or Back to School night] in the form of a legally authorize School Site Parent Advisory Committee. And

a must: incorporate a successful charter schools system!

Also, require that all students take a career orientation course for six years, studying five different careers per semester; then they will appreciate the need to be proficient in all their academics and will relate better to the world of work.

Frederick Douglass once said, “A little learning, indeed, may be a dangerous thing, but the want of learning is a calamity to any people.”

Milking the paranoia of gullible conservatives

The ideological lemmings who have signed on to Grover Norquist’s “no tax” pledge seem oblivious to the fact that he is just a front man for Wall Street plutocrats.

Their covert agenda is to bank-rupt the country in order to com-plete their political takeover. This corporate cabal and its high-paid propagandists have skillfully milked the prejudice and paranoia of gull-ible conservatives.

Gene BullockPoulsbo

Oppression comes in many forms

Recently I have been pestered, even harassed, by the “gendarmes” of four local jurisdictions.

I am happy to report that my cases with the Suquamish Police, the Poulsbo Police (parking ticket) and Kitsap County have all been settled without me pleading guilty to anything.

However, two impoundments of my car, even when there was no arrest or I tested under the 50-state limit for impairment, have cost me about $650. Add five round-trips to Port Orchard to gain justice and you feel the force of the “rule of law,” hitting you in multiple ways!

I won another case of illegal impoundment, versus the WSF ter-minal supervisor at Bainbridge, for $670, but he has not honored the judge’s order of Oct. 13 yet. He was supposed to repay me within fifteen days, but time, and your

money, means nothing to a merci-less public official; they can stiff you until you go to court again! Filing fees so far are $103.

Now another tax-taking district, the Kitsap Regional Library, is also extracting citizens’ money in lieu of lost taxes. I keep lots of things in my residence, especially books and magazines. Sometimes if I bor-row multiple items — which the library encourages — it is hard to find them, to return on time. KRL has a policy now of making you pay 25 cents per item each day, even Sunday when all branches are closed. One can note their email reminders, three days in advance, and think: “Great, that means a 31st thing to do in my next 72 hours.” (My to-do lists average 10 things per day, six days a week.) Days spent vainly looking speed by.

So far, from one day’s loaned items, I’ve paid the Poulsbo library fines of $36, mainly for five old magazines that were never request-ed or held, and $52 for two old, very used books that they will replace at new list prices, direct from pub-lishers. (They never buy locally, or even from Amazon, like you and I; that would lower their budget!) And I owe more: about a buck per day, until they decide to charge me for “replacements” by buying new mags.

Let’s hear from others who have been bilked by their local govern-ments. Is this “government for the people,” or The Gummint versus The People?

Teen center could help break cycle of homelessnessThe hallmark of any community is what its residents do to

improve the local quality of life.One of Poulsbo’s distinguishing characteristics is the

safety net of services the community provides to help its residents when times are tough, among them are North Kitsap Fishline, St. Vincent de Paul, housing assistance through Kitsap Community Resources, community meals at churches, and the North Kitsap Bellringer Fund.A homeless teen center in Poulsbo follows that same track. The Poulsbo/North Kitsap Rotary Club and Coff ee Oasis have taken the lead on this issue. The center, an extension of the ser-vices provided by Coff ee Oasis in Bremerton, would connect homeless teens with services that could help them escape homelessness. That’s good for them, and it’s good for the com-munity.The teen homeless population is largely unseen, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. In Kitsap County, some 313 students ages 13-17 identifi ed themselves as homeless to their schools in a recent survey. (All told, in June, there were 2,130 homeless people, 639 of them children, according to Terry Schroeder, coordinator of the Kitsap Continuum of Care Coalition.)Like Coff ee Oasis in Bremerton, a homeless teen center in Poulsbo could connect teens that can help them attain a new level of self-suffi ciency: health care, housing, host families, job training and job-search assistance, mentoring, and volunteer opportunities.According to anecdotal information, a number of teenagers “couch surf” or, when the weather is not inclement, live in our forests. Numerous organizations make clothing and food available, and those eff orts are important. As a community, we need to step up the eff ort and address the long-term issue of helping teens break out of homelessness so they can live productive lives in a healthy and safe place.We can’t think of any other priority more deserving of the community’s attention than the issue of children living on the street. We support the establishment of a center for homeless teens in Poulsbo.

2011 was a very busy year for Fishline Food Bank and Emergency

Services. Unprecedented numbers of clients came through our doors, prompt-ing us to reach new heights of efficiency and clever resource management.

Our staff and volunteers worked long hours and with incredible fervor, serving on average 125 families a day, an increase of 15 percent since last year and double since 2007. Fishline’s special programs, such as the chil-dren’s weekend meal pro-

gram and our holiday bas-ket programs, relaxed the economic tensions faced by so many in our town.

On any given day in 2011, Fishline was a beehive of activity. Clients waited at the front door for the market to open and came throughout the day hoping to shop for their families or to be helped with their util-ity bills or to avoid eviction.

Food Bank volunteers start-ed picking up food dona-tions from local stores every day at 5 a.m. and, in an organized relay-race style, kept the market stocked all day. Volunteers at Second Season, our thrift store, sorted incoming donations and created a beautiful bou-tique shopping experience, generating much-needed revenue for Fishline’s mis-sion. Scores of hard-work-ing neighbors made every day a symphony of coordi-nation and camaraderie.

Many transcendent

moments occurred this year: Children asking for dona-tions to Fishline instead of presents for their birthday. Little white bags hanging from mailboxes on a spring day, stuffed with peanut butter and boxed meals, a striking show of solidarity from a community refus-ing to accept hunger as an option. A call for turkeys that yielded an avalanche of Thanksgiving meals. Businesses, civic groups and churches creating innova-tive fundraisers that raised thousands of dollars. Clients

who were grateful beyond words when told they could pay their electric bill, give their children toys for Christmas or provide their families with a holiday ham. Neighbors reaching further into their pockets than ever before, increasing donations this year in defiance of all the gloomy economic news or perhaps because of it.

It’s a remarkable place from which to bear witness to the beauty and generosity of the human spirit. Now, thanks to your unwavering support, Fishline can evolve its services in 2012, antici-pating the changing needs of our community.

On Jan. 28, our Empty Bowl Fundraiser will be held at Gateway Fellowship Church, where a $15 dona-tion will be greeted with a hot bowl of soup in a hand-painted bowl that will be yours to keep. Fishline’s new delivery service will

ramp up this year to reach seniors, disabled or ill clients who aren’t able to get to the Food Bank. We will further emphasize help for home-less clients, working more closely with other social service agencies to provide the true safety net we all desire for our most vulner-able. We hope this will be the year Fishline finds and moves into a larger facility.

We can’t predict what this next year will bring, but after almost 45 years, we can make this promise: That the folks in our community need not worry — if tough times come, we will be there to help each other. No one need handle the curve balls of life alone. This is perhaps the greatest gift of all, and it’s thanks to you that we can make that promise and offer that hope.

I have no doubt that it was a large raccoon. This is exactly how I lost my 8-pound California bunny. A raccoon managed to climb up my fenced-in area and then find a seam in the netting I had over the

enclosure to keep out birds of prey. When I went out to tend to my chickens and rabbit, I discovered the rac-coon in the rabbit enclosure and my bunny with its head eaten down to a stump.

I’ve had numerous prob-lems with raccoons killing my chickens. It’s truly grue-some. They catch their prey and literally eat them alive. I know this for a fact. I’ve caught then in the act! They are not the cute, innocent, little masked critters that many people think are. I lost seven of my good lay-ing hens last summer to a raccoon.

A large raccoon could easily catch a small dog and once in their grasp, the little dog is doomed.

Thankful for caring neighbors

Every once in a while, I think what good people and businesses we have in the north end of our county.

My wife and I are handi-capped and so many peo-ple offer to help. Some are older than us and we feel we should be helping them.

I’ve got to praise the ser-vice we receive from busi-nesses, such as Henry’s Hardware in Kingston; they seem to have most every-thing I need and a great friendly staff that can find it for me and give me the information I need to use it.

The other business that comes to mind is Les Schwab Tire in Poulsbo; they give me fast and professional service. Lots of times there is no charge when I expect to pay.

I thank God I live here.Alan Shelbourn

BREMERTON — The Kingston Buccaneers boys basketball team did some-thing it is not used to doing on Tuesday. It lost.

On the scoreboard, it was not a narrow defeat.

The Olympic Trojans defeated the Bucs 72-62. Scores were close until the third quarter, when the Trojans outscored the Bucs 17-11. The teams both scored 20 in the fourth.

For the Trojans, a strong showing by Quentin Phillips and Trent Gallagher helped the team overcome the once undefeated Bucs. Phillips scored 33 points, Gallagher

POULSBO — The first half of the girls bas-ketball game between the North Kitsap Vikings and Bremerton Knights was close.

The Vikings fell behind by a single point in the first quarter and by four points at the half. By the time the game reached the final quar-ter, however, the Knights looked like an entirely dif-ferent team. The Knights outscored the Vikings 30-13 in the fourth; between Bremerton’s Courtney and Jalen Carpenter and Sawyer Kluge, more than 50 points were scored.

The game ended 76-50, Bremerton.

Coach Tim French said a lack of rebounds and poor decision-making with the ball in the fourth quarter was “all Bremerton needed to put it away.” North Kitsap’s bench played through the

last three minutes of the game and could not match Bremerton’s Carpenter sis-ters.

North Kitsap is in third in the Olympic League, Bremerton is in second. Kingston leads with an 8-1 record.

The loss brings the Bucs league record to 8-1. The Trojans are now in the mid-dle of the pack at 4-5.

The Bucs have now lost a total of three games in the season (one league and two nonleague).

occurred on the day a final donation was made to the annual Poulsbo Lions Bellringer Fund campaign, boosting the total to $33,061 — $7,000 more than the previous year’s total. The fund is expected to meet the needs of more than 300 local residents.

Visitation will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday at Vinland Lutheran Church, followed by the funeral service at 10:30 a.m. Interment will be at Vinland Cemetery.

The family prefers memorial donations to The Raab Foundation, P.O. Box 1244, Poulsbo, WA 98370. Donations benefit North Kitsap High School scholar-ships.

The former Mabel

McKean was born April 25, 1912 to Charles and Marie (Lien) McKean in Stanwood. She graduated from Stanwood High School and attended the University of Washington. She married Frank A. Raab on Oct. 31, 1931 in Stanwood.

They moved from Oregon to Poulsbo in 1940, according to the book “The Spirit of Poulsbo.” Mr. Raab owned the local Standard Oil distributorship and, for a while, Bremerton Transit Lines.

The Raabs jumped right into civic affairs after mov-ing here. Frank Raab was elected to the City Council in 1946. Fourteen years of council service were fol-lowed by nine years as mayor.

Raab Park was created in the mayor’s honor after he retired. But in 1985, he

returned to the City Council after the mayor and several council members resigned amidst political turmoil. He was credited with returning stability to city government.

Mrs. Raab was as active as her husband. She raised money for the Ida Knudson Memorial Fountain in front of City Hall in 1969, bought bonds to help build the Sons of Norway’s Grieg Hall, and was a founding director of the Poulsbo Historical Society.

She was a charter mem-

ber of the Poulsbo Yacht Club and was president of the Ingeborg Neville Orthopedic Auxiliary, the Poulsbo PTA and the Poulsbo Yacht Club’s Ladies Inter-Clubs.

She wrote and directed short plays to raise funds for the early Miss Poulsbo pag-eants and the North Kitsap PTA Exchange Student Program.

She was also a town mom, keeping an eye on local children. One man told the authors of the “Spirit of Poulsbo” that Mrs. Raab and other women “took care of us. If they saw us in an

area we weren’t supposed to be in, my mother would get a phone call.”

“She was a gracious lady and very hard-working for the city of Poulsbo,” said Elda Armstrong, a longtime friend who is active in the Poulsbo Host Lions Club and in the local Bellringer Fund.

“She was very commu-nity-oriented and loved everyone. I really think she had a positive attitude and always looked for the best in everyone. If there was ever a real queen of Poulsbo, she would get my vote.”

The Poulsbo Chamber of Commerce named her Woman of the Year 1976 (her husband was Man of the Year in 1964). In 1989, the chamber awarded her a lifetime membership.

She was also a member of Vinland Lutheran Church.

“They were just that kind of people,” son Charles Raab said Thursday. He’s an optometrist in Port Angeles. “They were always interest-ed in helping disadvantaged people and in developing the town.”

He recalled his mother’s devotion to the Bellringer Fund.

“She used to do Bellringer out of her front room,” her son said. “She would go downtown and get dona-tions from local merchants, and then would buy food stuffs for people in need in Kitsap County. It didn’t have a name — it was named Bellringer later. It just grew and grew and grew until she couldn’t handle it anymore, and then the Poulsbo Lions Club got involved.”

Mrs. Raab was active with

the Bellringer Fund for 30 years.

Mabel and Frank Raab also established the Raab Foundation, which provides scholarships for high school students. Charles Raab lost track of how long that phi-lanthropy has been active.

“Oh, gosh, I don’t know. It seems like forever,” he said.

This year, Bellringer was called the Poulsbo Lions Bellringer Fund to dis-tinguish it from another Bellringer Fund in the coun-ty. The Poulsbo Noon Lions Club administers the fund for the Raab Foundation.

North Kitsap Fishline and others periodically turn to the fund for help providing assistance to families facing eviction, emergency assis-tance paying utility bills, and keeping homes sup-plied with heating fuel. This year, the fund provided 100 Christmas food baskets to local families.

All told, the fund assisted more than 300 families in 2011.

Charles Raab said of his mother and father, “She was an eternal do-gooder. We couldn’t have possibly asked for better parents.”

Mrs. Raab was preceded in death by her husband on Feb. 19, 1989, and her sister, Frances Barnes.

She is survived by her two sons, Charles F. Raab (Donna) and Gary D. Raab (Doris); five grand-children, Gregory (Lisa), Jeffrey (Julia), Serena, Julie, Lynnette (Jeffry); and eight great-grandchildren, Jessica, Kristen, Brittany, Dane, Hunter, Tanner, Faith and Rachel.

and Making a Difference.” She will spend her year as Miss Poulsbo doing service projects with other young people in Kitsap County. She credits Tucker with encouraging her to run in the pageant and said she is thrilled to follow in her footsteps.

D’Anne Davidson, a 17-year-old junior at North Kitsap High School, was named first runner-up and received $1,200 in scholar-ships.

Winning the title didn’t necessarily mean winning the top scholarship money. Contestant Sierra Smith, 16, of Kingston won a $10,000 scholarship from the International Air and Hospitality Academy.

Other Miss Poulsbo contestants were Lindsey Browning, 19, of Poulsbo;

and Megan Peterson, 16, of Poulsbo.

The Miss Kitsap title was awarded to Jessicajae Townsend, 18, a senior at South Kitsap High School. She received $3,800 in scholarships, in addition to a $1,000 scholarship from Olympic College.

Epiphany Nick, a 17-year-old senior at Central Kitsap High School, was named Miss Silverdale. She received $3,200 in scholarships, in addition to a $500 scholar-ship from the North Kitsap Soroptimists.

The new Miss Poulsbo, Miss Kitsap and Miss Silverdale will spend the next year promoting their community platforms in addition to making appear-ances and raising money for local nonprofit organiza-tions. Last year’s titlehold-ers made 211 appearances in Kitsap County, accord-ing to pageant coordinator Michele Wasson.

“If there ever was a real queen of Poulsbo, she would get my vote.”— Elda Armstrong, longtime

friend of Mabel Raab

“She was an eternal do-gooder.”

— Charles Raab, son of Mabel Raab

POULSBO — More than 400 books were recently donated to local homeless children by the Alpha Sigma Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma International.

Members collected the books as part of a year-long focus on literacy. Sets of six or more books were placed in cloth backpacks hand sewn by members and distributed to children through Kitsap Community Resources.

Delta Kappa Gamma is a society of women educa-tors. One of their primary goals is service to the com-munity.

“What better project for a group of teachers than to get books into the hands of children,” chapter president Pat Bennett-Forman said.

Project coordinator Mimi Rabel, a retired Breidablik Elementary School teacher, added, “By giving each child his/her own backpack, the books have a ‘home’ and the

child has a sense of owner-ship for the books.”

SUQUAMISH — A memorial service will be held Jan. 21, 1 p.m. at the Suquamish Community Center for Kitsap County Superior Court Judge Theodore Spearman.

Spearman, the first African- American to serve on Kitsap Superior Court, died Jan. 3 at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with his wife and family at his side. He had been hospitalized since Dec. 7 as a result of complications from a brain aneurysm. He was 64.

In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations to the Kitsap County Juvenile

Youth Fund, the YWCA of Kitsap County’s ALIVE program or the Legal

Foundation of Washington.

T h e o d o r e F e r d i n a n d Spearman Jr. was born in Seattle on Jan. 10, 1947. He was adopted by Theodore Spearman Sr. and Nevada Letitia Jane (Roberts) Spearman of Yakima.

He was an Eagle Scout and graduated from Davis High School in 1964. He attended Yakima Valley College where he met Marie Annette Mullenneix in 1966.

He attended Stanford

University on a track schol-arship, graduating in 1968. The couple married May 16, 1969 in Palo Alto, Calif.

Family members said Spearman’s career of “obsti-nate advocacy for justice” was influenced by his par-ents’ work for the NAACP.

He received his juris doctorate at the University of Michigan Law School in Ann Arbor in 1971. A few months later, daughter Simone Letitia was born.

Offered a partnership in a civil rights law firm in Detroit, Spearman prac-ticed criminal and civil law and taught as an adjunct professor at Wayne State University Law School. He successfully pursued civil

litigation against the Detroit Police Department in mul-tiple police brutality cases.

In 1983, the family moved back to Washington. Spearman represented per-sonal injury and civil rights clients, often joining as co-counsel on difficult cases around the state involving police misconduct. Making lifelong friends with many among Bainbridge Island’s “live-aboard” community, Spearman was passionate in his efforts to protect their right to moor in Eagle Harbor.

In 1998, Spearman was a finalist for appointment as a judge to the U.S. District Court, Western Division. He was appointed by the state Supreme Court

to the Capital Counsel Qualification Panel, which oversees the development of attorneys qualified for appointment in death pen-alty cases. In 2004, he was appointed to the Kitsap County Superior Court by Gov. Gary Locke and was twice reelected unopposed.

Spearman’s family said his love of ideas, language and contemplation nearly steered him away from the law and toward graduate studies in philosophy, a life-long fascination that guided his desire to be vigilant, to be observant and to “be here now.”

“A self-described student of Dharma, he read vora-ciously, explored the emo-

tional peaks and troughs of golf, loved music and the natural joys of his Island home,” his family wrote in his obituary.

“Meditative and thought-ful, persuasive and kind, Ted lived the full life of a warrior poet.”

Judge Spearman is sur-vived by his wife of 42 years and their family: daugh-ter Simone Spearman, son-in-law Jason Weaver, and granddaughter Saja Spearman Weaver, of Guerneville, Calif.

Satirical comedy ‘The Fourth Wall’ at the Jewel Box

POULSBO — “The Fourth Wall” is a tongue-in-cheek satire of art and American politics during the era of the George W. Bush administration, set in the suburban upstate New York home of an upper-middle-class couple.

At its center is the tale of a frazzled sub-urban woman who rebels against the complacency of her friends, marriage, the government — even her living room fur-niture.

Disturbed by the state of current politics and sensing that some sort of audience exists beyond the parameters of her living room, suburbanite house-wife Peggy rearranges her living room to assemble a stage set, in the hopes of breaking through to the other side. Her furniture now faces one wall — the “fourth wall” — which she has left bare (which is really the audience).

The Jewel Box Theatre presents A.R. Gurney’s satirical comedy Jan. 27 through Feb. 11 — Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. The theater is located at 225 Iverson St. in down-town Poulsbo.

The show is directed by Island Theatre cofounder, Steve Stolee, directing for the first time at Jewel Box Theatre.

Gurney’s popular plays, including “Love Letters,” “Sylvia,” and “The Dining Room,” are often compared to the work of novelist John Cheever, their situational satire frequently centering around the foibles of the well-bred upper-middle-class and its supposed sophistication — which usually turns out to be anything but sophisticated.

Often, there is a backdrop of war and collective sub-urban American angst. His plays are urbane, laced with literary and current-event references, but well-written to suit a general audience.

“The Fourth Wall,” for all its cultured framing, is full of laugh-out-loud gags and punch lines.

The cast includes Jim Alexander, as Roger; Shawna Fancher, as Julia;

Kathy Currie, as Peggy; and Fred Saas, as Floyd.

Tickets are $16 adults; $14 seniors, students, military. Tickets are avail-able online at brownpapertick-ets.com (Search: Poulsbo); via e-mail at jewelboxtickets@

gmail.com; or by phone at (360) 697-3183.

An opening weekend special of $9.99 is available for tickets purchased online only for the Jan. 27-29 per-formances.

Season presenting spon-sor: Liberty Bay Bank. For more information, visit www.jewelboxpoulsbo.org.

Of North Kitsap 2011

Most people are aware of common things that can cause poisoning in dogs. The top 5 causes include people medications, certain fl ea and tick products, chocolate (particularly baking chocolate), rat poison,

and household plants such as lilies and to a lesser extent poinsettas. But there are a couple of potentially serious poisons that you may not be aware of.

What do a pack of Trident gum, a tin of Starbucks mints, and sugar free Jello have in common? They all contain a sweetener called xylitol. It only takes a little of this sweetener to

cause a life threatening drop in blood sugar levels in dogs. If your dog ingests products containing xylitol, contact your vet right away. Symptoms include lethargy, weakness and

possibly seizures and liver failure.

Fishing can be fun, but sharing your catch with your dog can can be dangerous. Salmon poisoning is a potentially fatal condition that results from a dog eating raw salmon or

trout that is infected with a parasite called a fl uke. If that fl uke in turn is infected with another organism called a rickettsia, that can cause salmon poisoning disease in dogs and

can be potentially fatal within two weeks. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and dehydration. It’s relatively easy to diagnose if your vet knows that your dog may have

eaten raw salmon.

Fortunately both of these problems are easy to diagnose and treat if caught early.

State reinstates, diciplines health care providers

OLYMPIA — The state Department of Health has taken disciplinary actions or withdrawn charges against the following health care providers in Kitsap County.

■ In November, the Board of Pharmacy reinstated the license of pharmacy tech-nician Victoria MacFarlane (VA00039432).

■ In December, the Chiropractic Commission released chiropractor Carl

R. Botefuhr (CH00002461) from terms and conditions set against his license.

■ In December, the Nursing Assistant Program indefinitely suspended the credential of certified nurs-ing assistant Catherine M. Cowans (NC60086949). Cowans failed to respond to a department inquiry regarding a complaint.

■ In December, the Chemical Dependency Professional Program ended the probation order against chemical depen-dency professional trainee Theresa Lynette Glaser

(CO60148475).■ In December, the

Nursing Assistant Program charged certified nursing assistant Joshua R. Miller (NC10060789) with unpro-fessional conduct. He was convicted of assault, and telephone harassment/domestic violence.

Information about health care providers is available on www.doh.wa.gov. Click on “Provider Credential Search” on the left hand side of the home page. The site includes information about a health care provider’s license status, the expira-

tion and renewal date of their credential, disciplin-ary actions and copies of legal documents issued after July 1998. This information is also available by calling (360) 236-4700.

Consumers who think a health care provider acted unprofessionally can call that number and report their complaint.

POULSBO — The trans-formation of the Nilsen Appliance Center is com-plete and the remodeled space will be celebrated today with a ribbon cutting for Bluewater Artworks Gallery and Framing.

The ribbon cutting is scheduled for 5:15 p.m., 18961 Front St.

Bluewater is owned by Christy and Russ Camerer, specializing in high-tech framing.

The building was remod-eled after Nilsen Appliance

consolidated operations to Silverdale. It was left vacant for more than four years.

Before building their business in Poulsbo, the Camerers looked at Bremerton, but could not find a price or fit for their business idea. Camerer contacted the Mentor Company, owners of the building.

Christy Camerer said “We needed a town that supported the arts. There is a great future to be had here.”

Mentor said Bluewater will fill about two-thirds of the street level retail space closest to the corner of Front Street and King Harald Vei. The remaining 1200 square feet will be ready for another tenant.

The building’s exte-rior was also redone by Poulsbo resident and sign painter Bill Austin. Austin refreshed the building’s gazebo mural, which was originally created at the request of Linda Nilsen circa 1987.

Jean Whipple, a woven wheat artist and member of the nearby Verksted co-op gallery for over 15 years, views the arrival of Bluewater Artworks as a valuable addition to down-town that will offer tour-ists more options.

The gallery will celebrate its grand opening tomor-row, Jan. 14, from 2-8 p.m. with refreshments and entertainment. Featured artists will be available from 5-8 p.m. during the Poulsbo Art Walk.

Farm business planning course begins Jan. 19

PORT ORCHARD — WSU Kitsap County Extension offers its Ag Entrepreneurship Course on starting and sustain-ing a profitable small farm or agricultural enterprise beginning Jan. 19.

The course features a line-up of local guest speak-ers: accountants, bankers, lawyers and successful farm owners.

Participants will gain skills in business planning, direct marketing and record-keeping. They’ll also receive information on federal and state programs targeted to the needs of small produc-ers, including resources to improve risk management and conservation practices.

The course is designed for

beginning farmers as well as current growers who are looking to take their farm in a new direction. Guest lecturers for the courses are regional growers who are models of sustainable agriculture in their farming and marketing practices. Participants will complete the course having developed a business plan they can take to the bank to finance their new enterprise or use as a roadmap for their farm business.

The Ag Entrepreneurship course costs $250, including materials. The cost has been reduced due to a USDA grant; partial scholarships and Continuing Education Units are available. The course will be held Thursday evenings from 6:30-9 p.m. in Room 406 of the Norm Dicks Government Center, 345 6th St., Bremerton.

To register, contact Arno Bergstrom, (360) 337-7225, [email protected]; Diane Fish, (360) 337-7026, [email protected]. Or visit http://county.wsu.edu/kit-sap/.

Trident nuclear protesters fined for blocking road

BANGOR — The Kitsap County District Court ruled Jan. 4 against four anti-nuclear protesters charged with blocking traffic to the main entrance of Naval Base Kitsap Bangor.

The fine for the civil infraction was $56 per vio-lator, but was mitigated down to $25 each in the final ruling.

The defendants were Anne Hall, a Lutheran minister; Frances Lamb, a retired Catholic lay min-ister; Brenda McMillan, a retired bookkeeper; and Thomas Rogers, a retired Navy nuclear submarine captain. All are members of the Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action in Silverdale.

Ground Zero Center has protested the nuclear pres-ence in Kitsap County for 34 years.

On Aug. 8, they were cited by state patrol after they crossed the fog line onto State Route 308 near the Trigger Avenue gate car-rying a 44-foot long inflat-able Trident II D-5 missile replica into the street.

All defendants testified that the intent was to block off traffic to Bangor base for as long as possible.

“I wanted to reach as many people as I could driving by on the illegality and immorality of what is going on inside that base,” Hall said.

The defendants and other members of Ground Zero said the court’s decision will not deter them from future protests.

“It’s about raising public awareness,” said Rogers, a Poulsbo resident. “If I hadn’t gone out into the road, nobody would be talking to me about nuclear weapons.”

Kingston man gets community service for Airsoft shooting

KINGSTON — A Kingston man received 200 hours of community service for his role in an Airsoft shooting last year.

George C. Hill III was charged with three counts of fourth-degree assault, one count of third-degree theft, and one count of third-degree attempted theft for some incidents that occurred June 15.

In the diversion agree-ment with Kitsap County District Court Dec. 30, Hill agreed to community ser-vice as well as fines and restitution. The agreement is for five years.

Two teen boys involved in the case pleaded guilty in Superior Court Oct. 6, each receiving a year of proba-tion and 116 hours of com-munity service.

Jasmine Campbell, a former Miss Viking Fest, Dietrich Rios-Nicolaisen and Brandyn Winkley are also charged with three counts of fourth-degree assault, one count of third-degree theft, and one count of third-degree attempted theft. Campbell asked for her pre-trial hearing to be postponed from Jan. 4 to Feb. 8 at 8:30 a.m.

Rios-Nicolaisen was due in court Tuesday. Winkley is due in court Jan. 17.

According to the inves-tigator’s Statement of Probable Cause, the group fired Airsoft rifles from a car in the Central Market park-ing lot and in the Walmart parking lot. Two people struck by pellets said “the pellets hurt and left bruises and red marks that lasted several days,” according to the investigator’s report.

The group also allegedly ordered food at a fast food restaurant and left without paying for it.

Poulsbo man denies charge of molestation

PORT ORCHARD — A Poulsbo man has pleaded innocent to a first-degree child molestation charge.

Daniel Eldon Sluys, 53, was charged by Kitsap County prosecutors. He was arraigned Jan. 5.

In an interview with her therapist of nine months and an investigator, the alleged victim said Sluys touched her inappropriately on several occasions over a period of a year, and at other times behaved toward her in ways that made her uncomfortable.

“We’re saying it never happened,” Sluys’ attorney David Allen said.

Allen said the charge follows an ongoing dis-pute. The alleged incident occurred more than 10 years ago, according to charging documents. Allen said he is surprised it turned into a case.

“It’s so stale and unsup-ported,” he said.

The case began in September after the thera-pist alerted authorities.

According to charging documents, Sluys promised on Jan. 5 to appear in court. Sluys’ next court date is scheduled for Feb. 29. Trial is scheduled March 27.

If charged, Sluys could face about five years in pris-on, prosecutors say.

Poulsbo man suspected of stealing propeller

POULSBO — A Poulsbo man has been charged with stealing a 160-pound boat propeller for scrap metal.

Jacob Morley, 38, was charged with second-degree trafficking in stolen prop-erty on Jan. 11 after Navy City Metals in Bremerton reported the propeller was

brought in for scrap metal.Kimberly Francisco of

Indianola reported her bronze boat propeller was stolen from her front lawn on Jan. 3. According to the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Department report, she said it was originally a part of a large boat owned by a fam-ily member and had senti-mental value. She estimated its value at $500.

Francisco called a few locations and heard back from Navy City Metals, who reported a transaction with Morley. He was paid $240 on Jan. 3 after bringing in a large propeller.

Morley is also charged with second-degree burglary in relation to a theft from a storage locker on a con-struction site in Silverdale in November.

He will appear in District Court on Jan. 19, 8:30 a.m., for both charges.

Kingston woman suspected of forging checks

KINGSTON — A Kingston woman was arrest-ed on Jan. 5 on suspicion of forging checks belonging to a near-blind Bremerton woman she was caring for.

Diane Lee Ellyson, 46, is charged with three counts of forgery and one count of second-degree theft. She was booked into Kitsap County Jail on $100,000 bail.

According to a Bremerton Police Department report, Ellyson was hired two years ago by Elizabeth Bakeman for cleaning services. Ellyson later helped care for Bakeman as a medical aide, and when Bakeman began losing her sight, Ellyson offered to help write checks for her bills.

Bakeman’s daughter-in-law, Robin Inch, reviewed Bakeman’s three check-ing accounts and discov-ered “several suspicious transactions and altered checks.” She found carbon

copies which had different amounts than the hard cop-ies. Ellyson is alleged to have added digits to increase the amounts throughout 2011.

Bakeman also reported that $200,000 worth of jewelry, insured at $50,000, was missing on or around Oct. 29, allegedly stolen by Ellyson.

Ellyson went to Bremerton Police Department volun-tarily, where she denied the allegations. A CVSA poly-graph indicated she was lying.

POULSBO — When Poulsbo resident Chris Moore first heard last fall that some state represen-tatives wanted to legalize same-sex marriage, he said he felt “somebody had to do something about this.”

Moore spoke to his friends Richard Tizzano and Heidi Lestelle, who together founded the Kitsap Marriage Alliance.

They held their first event Monday evening at Gateway Fellowship in Poulsbo, including a question-and-answer forum as a strategy session to defeat the bill, which has yet to be submit-ted.

More than 250 people attended the forum.

“It really did tell me just how strongly people feel about this issue locally,” Moore said of the turnout.

Rep. Matt Shea, R-Spokane, and Joseph Backholm, executive direc-tor of Family Policy Institute of Washington, a conserva-tive lobby group, both spoke about why redefining mar-riage is an issue.

Washington state does not require residency to apply for a marriage license. Shea said this could mean those who live in surround-ing states that do not allow same-sex marriage or civil unions could come to Washington to get married.

“That’s why they chose Washington, that’s why it’s an important issue,” Shea said. “Compromise has cost us.”

He also cited examples of churches and business own-ers who faced persecution after they, because of their religious beliefs, denied ser-vices to homosexuals.

Being an election year,

Backholm said this will be a political decision and rep-resentatives will listen to the number of constituents contacting them regarding which side they are on a particular issue.

According to the Associated Press, which reached out to all 49 state senators last week, more lawmakers are firmly sup-porting gay marriage than opposing it — includ-ing Sen. Christine Rolfes, D-23rd — by a margin of 22-18. The measure needs 25 votes to pass the Senate.

The 23rd District’s repre-sentatives, Sherry Appleton and Drew Hansen, also sup-port legalizing same-sex marriage.

Speaking in front of a conservative crowd, Shea and Backholm urged the audience to call and let their representatives know they do not agree with redefining marriage to include same-sex marriage.

“Religious freedom and sexual freedom cannot co-

exist,” Backholm said. “One will win, one will lose.”

For groups such as the Washington United for Marriage coalition, it is a civil rights issue.

“I’m excited for the mar-riage equality bill, it will give equal protection to my fam-ily,” said Rev. Mark Travis, a gay pastor who lives on Bainbridge Island. He said his denomination, the United Church of Christ, has been supportive of mar-riage equality, regardless of gender, for 15 years.

He said history has shown governments step-ping in to give rights to minority groups — such as slaves, women, and African-Americans in the 1960s — “when the majority doesn’t want to give it.”

There have not been any recent events or forums in Kitsap, according to Zach Silk, campaign manager for Washington United for Marriage coalition.

“In Kitsap County, most of the legislators have been

very supportive,” Silk said. “It has a lot to do with kind of organized energy and constituent energy they feel on the ground.” He said his group is focusing its efforts on districts with less sup-port for same-sex marriage.

Since 2009, Washington state has allowed residents to apply for a domestic part-nership if they are unable to marry. RCW 26.60 states that “the public has an interest in providing a legal framework for such mutual-ly supportive relationships, whether the partners are of the same or different sexes, and irrespective of their sexual orientation.”

The law is known as an “anything-but-marriage” union, where consenting adults that share a common

residence, are not married to anyone else, and are not nearer kin than second cousin may apply as domes-tic partners.

According to the Secretary of State website, there are 9,266 domestic partnership registrations as of Jan. 12.

If legalized, Washington would join Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont, and the Coquille and Suquamish tribes.

According to two public polls in 2011, a majority of Washingtonians supports legalizing same-sex mar-riage, but on close margin. Public Policy polling in May found that 46 percent thought same-sex marriage should be legal, while 44 percent thought it should be illegal.

If the law went to a ref-erendum vote, 55 percent would keep it, 38 percent would reject it, according to an October University of Washington poll.

POULSBO — Terri Gleich has witnessed firsthand the budget cuts in the North Kitsap School District. The mother of two has seen class sizes increase and positions eliminated. She’s seen cuts ever since her oldest child was in kindergarten.

“I have been appalled at the budget cuts year after year,” she said.

Gleich is now president of the North Kitsap Schools Foundation and, with other board members, is working on reducing the impact of budget cuts.

In order to do that, the foundation has pledged to raise $75,000 for the North Kitsap School District. The foundation is not alone in its venture.

The Poulsbo Noon Lions Club has donated $500 to the foundation and scheduled an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner for Feb. 21, 5-7:30 p.m. at the North Kitsap High School Commons. The Lions Club’s goal is to raise $1,000 to $2,000 at the dinner, Lion Karl Ostheller said.

The club has also com-mitted to work with the foundation each year.

“We are thrilled the Lions Club is working with us,” Gleich said. “This is the first year that we are doing such a big fundraising effort.”

This is the first year the foundation has set a fund-raising goal, according to Gleich, who took over as president in November. The Lions Club is the first orga-nization the foundation has partnered with.

Gleich said one of the biggest challenges for the foundation this year is to become better known.

“Our long-term goal is to help make a serious dent in the money that’s missing,” she said.

In July, the North Kitsap School Board approved a $64 million budget for the 2011-12 school year, after making more than $2 mil-lion in cuts. The cuts were necessitated by a drop in state funding and student enrollment in 2010-11. Enrollment dipped again this year.

Gleich would like the foundation to raise more than $100,000 for NKSD.

Group hopes to raise $75K for schools

AMBITIOUS PLATFORMS FOR PAGEANT TITLEHOLDERS

BREMERTION — Three young women are now wearing crowns — and carrying ambitious agendas — as Miss Kitsap, Miss Poulsbo and Miss Silverdale.

The annual scholarship pageant was Jan. 7 in the Bremerton Perform-ing Arts Auditorium.

Miss Kitsap is Jessicajae Townsend 18, a senior at South Kitsap High School. She received $3,800 in scholarships in addition to a $1,000 scholarship to Olympic College. Her platform is “One Can at a Time — The Fight Against Local Hunger.”

She is the senior class president and vice president of her Key Club and will be working with local food banks this year.

Krystal Jimenez, 16, a junior at Bremerton High School, was named fi rst runner-up to Miss Kitsap and received $1,600 in scholarships. Also participating in the Miss Kitsap Pageant were Elaina Ausbrooks, 17, of Bremerton; Kaitlyn Gervais, 19, of Bremerton; Taylor Mahoney, 18, of Bremerton; and Kiara Serantes, 17,

When one of your children has autism, and

your other child has Type 1 diabetes, it would be easy to throw yourself a pity party.

But for the DiMarco family, instead of whining, they’ve put a positive spin on their challenges.

“Th ere is an attitude in my house that you don’t complain about the lot that life has given you,” mom Jennifer DiMarco said.

Upon the encouragement of her daughter, Jennifer has created a television web-series called “Ghost Sniff ers.” In the television-like show, real-life daughter Faith plays Faith Forge, a nine-year-old ghost hunter whose Type 1 diabetes has given her the special ability to sniff out ghosts. Twelve-year-old brother Maxwell plays Faith’s assistant, Maxo.

Th e Maxo character also has autism, and much like real-life, is able to put his special talent of having a photographic memory to work helping Faith solve the mysteries.

Jennifer said the idea is much like when a per-son loses a sense, other senses become stronger to compensate for the missing one. She has applied the same theory to disabilities —perhaps a disability gives

people super abilities in other areas.

Th e idea of “Ghost Sniff -ers” emerged from Faith’s love of ghost-hunting shows.

“One of the things she loves about them is that I fi nd them ridiculous to watch. I laugh, giggle and try to scare her,” Jennifer said.

It was during one of those episodes when Faith came up with the idea for her mother to write the show. Jennifer, who wrote and published books in her teens, accepted the chal-lenge.

“My normal comeback when the kids ask me to write is to say, ‘I’m a mommy now, not a writer anymore. I need to focus on you,’ ” Jennifer said. “But this time I decided to not go that route and ‘Ghost Sniff ers’ is what came out of it. It was a serendipitous event.”

Th e genre of the show is

what Jennifer calls “dramady” and is full of witty pop-culture references, all the while helping clients solve their ghostly problems.

Episodes 1 and 2 are completed, and Jennifer has scripts for 12 more. Wanting to expand the cast, open auditions will be held Jan. 24 from 1-7 p.m. at the Port

Orchard Library. Th e show is looking to fi ll 29 roles, some singing, some danc-ing and, of course, acting.

Shot in a television-like style, episodes of “Ghost Sniff ers” have a quick turn-around time. Scenes are shot one week and then ed-ited the next. Th ose selected in the open auditions will be included in February’s screening at local movie theaters, where episodes 1-5 will be shown on the big screen. Jennifer hopes to have cast members present to allow for a question-and-answer session.

As cast expands, “Ghost Sniff ers” will introduce other individuals who are dealing with issues and the resulting powers they have, although Jennifer is quick to point out that it isn’t a “Mutant Kids” show.

“Th e underlying idea is that there is something more to the characters than

meets the eye,” she said.When Jennifer told

Faith her character in the show would also have Type 1 diabetes, Faith wasn’t thrilled with the idea. At the time of her diagnosis at 13 months old, Faith was the second-youngest child to be diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in the state. It’s all she’s ever known.

Jennifer told her she couldn’t hide the fact that she has an insulin pump at-tached to her body. But un-like real-life, her character isn’t shy about the insulin pump, and Jennifer hopes it empowers Faith to not be shy as well. Th roughout the series, the character stops to check her blood sugar, just like in real life.

Maxwell has embraced his role as Faith’s sidekick.

And while the fi lming pro-cess can at times be tedious, it’s an activity he enjoys. When asked if becoming an actor is in his future, Maxwell quipped, “I already am.”

Th e show has become a family aff air, as the DiMar-cos have enlisted help from grandparents, aunts and uncles to fi ll roles, design costumes and lend moral support.

Th e idea for the series took root in October and the DiMarcos have enjoyed integrating the show into their lives. Because of Maxwell’s severe peanut allergy and the daily care Faith needs to manage her diabetes, both children are home-schooled. Th e series

has become part of their routine, with Jennifer writ-ing into the early morning hours, and fi lming taking place during the aft ernoon.

“What I like about ‘Ghost Sniff ers’ is being able to empower my kids the way I hope their characters are empowering other kids,” Jennifer said. “It has given me a tool to talk about stuff that my kids have no control over.”Audition details

Open-call auditions will be held on Jan. 24, 1-7 p.m. at the Kitsap Regional Li-brary, 87 Sidney Ave., Port Orchard. For more details and to see a complete list of available roles, visit www.ghostsniff ers.com.

Dear Erin,I am hoping you

can help me with a question about splitting the bill when eating out with a group.

When I am dining with others and receive one check, I worry about a “fair” split. I do not want to break out the calculator and be specifi c, but is it even appropriate to suggest a more thoughtful split to my fellow diners if one’s total is

much higher than other’s? — Portioning in Poulsbo

Dear Portioning,It’s important to keep in

mind that when dining out, people have diff erent bud-get amounts. Some see the world as their oyster, while others see the world as their oyster cracker.

Th at’s a big diff erence.If some of your dining

partners order the steak and lobster and a glass of

wine, and you order a bowl of soup and water, your friends’ portion of the bill is signifi cantly higher. When the bill arrives, your dining buddies should announce: “We ordered more expen-sive items and will put in enough money to cover our portions.”

Sometimes, especially if you are dining with a big group, someone will sug-gest making the bill easy and “just splitting it.” Th is

can be a simple solution if everyone in your party ordered approximately the same dollar amount, but if that’s not the case, it’s OK to politely point out that your

share is less. Do this by adding up

your total portion in your mind, rounding up to make sure you cover your share, and announce what you are paying. Don’t forget to include amounts for tax and tip. Th is should give a very big hint to your fellow diners to pay for his or her share of the meal.

In the future, if these par-ticular friends seem to con-stantly consume more than you, it’s perfectly fi ne to ask for separate checks when ordering. Nowadays, most restaurants have computers to assist the wait staff when placing your order, making

it very simple to divvy up the bill accordingly.

I do know of a group of people who for years have gotten together once a month for breakfast. Over time, this group has decided to split the bill down the middle, no matter if a person orders the Eggs Benedict or a plain piece of toast. Th ey subscribe to the theory that it all evens out in the long run. And it probably does. Th is can be an easy solution but should be decided ahead of time, and not when the bill arrives.

FEET FIRST

The foot is designed in such a way that it rolls and disperses any shock caused by walking or running. This is called pronation.

Those who have feet that roll inward too much are over-pronators. This happens when the foot continues to roll when it should be pushing off, causing excessive

movement of the foot and lower leg. This movement can cause pain to the foot, shin and knee.

When walking, shoes will tilt inward when they come into contact with a flat surface. Knock-knees and flat feet contribute to over-pronation. Under-pronation is called supination. Under-pronators have feet that don’t roll enough after ground contact. Extra stretching of calves, hamstrings, and quads will allow for greater flexibility.

New patients welcome and seen on the same day.Early & late appointments available. Most insurances accepted.

CalendarContinued from page 6

BY ANDY PERDUE AND ERIC DEGERMANWine Press Northwest

In October, the Umpqua Valley winemaker Earl Jones lifted the veil on his secret project — Paramour — a proprietary red blend from the 2005 vintage with the robust Spanish grape Tempranillo as the base.Abacela found-er Jones says proudly, “This is the wine we came to Oregon to make.”

“American Tempranillo will change forever,” is how the Roseburg winery pro-moted the invitation-only evening.

Jones repeatedly, albeit playfully, declined to list the components of the blend. He said it was built in the Spanish tradition of Gran Reserva wines from the Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions of the Iberian Pen-insula, which specifies such wines as being aged five years and the product of an excellent growing season.

Indeed, the 2005 vintage is viewed as one of the

Northwest’s best of the young century.

The production was 170 cases, and the 2005 Par-

amour ($90) ranks as one of Oregon’s most expensive wines not made of Pinot Noir.

“I hadn’t even thought about that,” Jones said. “I know the economy is down, but I think it’s priced fairly.”

This year, Abacela released about 2,500 cases of robust Tempra-

nillo among its three tiers — regular ($20), estate ($35) and reserve ($45).

The 2005 Paramour spans winemakers past and present, Kiley Ev-ans and Andrew Wenzl, respectively. And yet Jones, director of the Tempranillo Advocates Producers and Amigos Society (TAPAS), takes full credit for this unique Temp.

“This was my project,” he said. “I’ve kept it close to my chest. It was tough keeping those six barrels a

secret, though.”Ironically, the public got

its first glimpse of Par-amour two years ago when Jones donated three large-format bottles of it to the 25th annual Classic Wine Auction in Portland. The gift of the 2005 Paramour came as he celebrated being named the 2009 Oregon Vintner of the Year.

“The 2005 vintage was a great one here at Abacela, and my read on the wine is that it hasn’t peaked,” Jones said. “I’m estimating that will be around 2017, and it probably will set on that plateau for 10 years.”

Jones views Paramour as the culmination of ef-forts that began in 1995 when he became the first in the Northwest to plant Tempranillo. He uprooted his family from the Florida Panhandle and transitioned from a decorated career in clinical dermatology to cre-ate world-class Tempranillo in the United States.

“Paramour translates as ‘other love’ or ‘mistress,’ ” he said. “We’ve dedicated so much time and attention to this, it’s a good way to describe it.”

Those who miss out on this Paramour must wait

awhile for the next vintage. Jones doesn’t expect to release the next one — the 2009 Paramour — until 2015.

We recently blind-tasted the 2005 Paramour, as well as Abacela’s 2007 Reserve Tempranillo. To find Abace-la wines, check with your favorite wine merchant or contact Abacela directly at (541) 679-6642.

■ Abacela 2005 Par-amour, Umpqua Valley, $90. This spent nearly two years in French oak and another four years in bottle before being released this fall. It opens with aromas of black cherries, black cur-rants, blueberries, fresh figs, leather, cola and caramel. On the palate, it explodes with flavors of Marionber-ries, black currants and caramel. It’s a big wine with robust tannins and earthy tones.

■ Abacela 2007 Reserve Tempranillo, Umpqua Valley, $45. As of this fall, Abacela now produces no fewer than three different bottlings of Tempranillo (and the grape finds its way into some of the winery’s other wines). This superb reserve-level red opens with intriguing aromas of

purple fruit, orange pekoe tea, lemon zest, plums and chalk dust. On the palate, it shows off flavors of caramel, plums, cinnamon and something that reminds us

of a grape lollipop.— Andy Perdue and Eric
