Terrorism threat level raised at NBK BY PETER O’CAIN [email protected] BREMERTON — If lines to enter Naval Base Kitsap (NBK) have seemed a little long than usual lately, there’s a reason. On May 7, the Depart- ment of Defense raised the terrorism threat level to Force Protection Condition Level Bravo, the third level of a five tier scale. It’s defined as “An increased and predictable threat of terrorism.” According to CNN, the change is not due to a specific threat, but because the mili- tary was concerned about sev- eral recent events, including a shooting at a Texas cartoon contest featuring drawings of the Prophet Mohammed. NBK was mum as to the specifics of security changes, but did say gate security will be amped up a bit. The idea is to be unpredictable — making it harder for potential threats to plan an attack. “This change was a prudent measure to establish a proac- tive, unpredictable frequency of actions to mitigate threats to an installation and protect personnel, assets, resources and infrastructure,” said Sheila Murray, Navy spokeswoman. “Allow plenty of time; please Election filing begins BY PETER O’CAIN [email protected] PORT ORCHARD — Can- didates for the November 2015 election began filing with the Kitsap County Auditor May 11.

    ARMED FORCES DAY AMBASSADORS

    BY ROBERT [email protected]

    BREMERTON Hidden away within many tranquil Bremerton back yards, you may be sur-prised to learn that a there is a thriving commu-nity of urban chickens and dedicated owners.

    After a debate that took more than a year, a large signature ballot initiative and many pub-lic city council meetings it has been five years since the Bremerton City Council passed a local ordinance to allow backyard chickens within city limits.

    Since the Great Chicken Debate of 2010, how has one local family raised and cared for chickens in the city limits today?

    In a quaint, single story family home on a lot in Manette lives the Spear family: Brian, Jacque-lyn and little 1-year-old Henry.

    In the back yard are three beautiful hens: a Buff Orpington, Barred Rock and a Wyandotte.

    The Spears lived in Shelton but were plan-ning on moving to Manchester. Theyd planned on continuing to raise chickens after the move so got involved with the bring chickens to Bremerton movement.

    They wrote letters to the city council, but by the time they moved the fight was over and chickens were allowed.

    Under Bremerton Municipal Code 7.06, aptly called Chickens, the city limits the num-ber allowed to no more than five hens.

    The Spears think three is plenty for the aver-age-sized lot and family.

    We get 18 eggs a week and care and cleaning isnt a big chore, Jacquelyn said. And of course, no roosters.

    The city also has specific restrictions on hen houses, they must be setback from property lines, provide 6 square feet per chicken and be less than 200 square feet in size.

    Brian built the family hen house from most-ly reclaimed material. It has an upper roosting area and a lower nesting area, and the hen house is connected to a enclosed wire run.

    He said the wire has to be secure and extend into the ground to keep predators like racoons and opossums out.

    One of the main concerns in 2010 was that chicken feed could attract vermin.

    The Spears keep all the stored chicken food and grain in a sealed metal bin and only feed what they think the chickens will eat in a day. So far, theyve had no rodent problems.

    Maybe the biggest point of contention was the citys requirement for a annual chicken license. It costs $12.50 and is the same form as cat license, save for one small difference.

    It is funny that they dont have a dedicated form, Jacquelyn said. The last time they just crossed out the word cat on the top of the form and wrote in chicken. But the Spears have no problem paying the fee. They feel it goes to help the city and is earmarked for animal control.

    It seems that five years after Great Chicken Debate of 2010 the world did not come end and responsible chicken owners that comply to the city code have peacefully settled into the urban environment with their birds.

    Most our neighbors dont even know we have chickens and the closest ones that do actually enjoy watching them, Jacquelyn said.

    We get 18 eggs a week and care and cleaning isnt a big chore, Jacquelyn Spear

    Bremerton, Seabeck girls vying for title of Miss Washingtons Outstanding Teen

    BURIEN Abigail Dominguiano of Bremer-ton and Kaile Brant of Seabeck are among five Kitsap County girls who will be among twen-ty-six of the states most talented, bright and beautiful young women, ages 13-17, to compete in the Miss Washingtons Outstanding Teen competition, the little sister to Miss Wash-ington and Miss America. The competition will take place May 23-24 at the Highline Perform-ing Arts Center in Burien.

    The three other Kitsap girls include Mataya Giffey of Poulsbo, Sarah Gaskey of Port Orchard and Emily Houston, also of Port Orchard.

    The contestants promote scholastic achieve-ment, creative accomplishment, healthy living and community involvement for Washingtons teens. The contestants will be judged on person-al interview, talent, evening wear and on-stage question and academic achievement.

    Abigail Dominguiano, a sophomore at Central Kitsap High School, is promoting her platform Helping Hands, Changing Lives - Getting Active in Your Community as Miss Great Peninsulas Outstanding Teen. She is an award winning, active member of CSTOCK, with several lead roles under her belt. She will be performing a musical theater vocal for her talent performance.

    Kaile Brant, Miss Puget Sounds Outstanding Teen, is a junior at Central Kitsap High School and a Running Start student at Olympic Col-lege. She is promoting The Nick of Time Foun-dation as her platform and will be performing a vocal with sign language during the talent phase of competition.

    Mataya Giffey, a junior and a drum major at North Kitsap High School, is promoting Stand for the Silent: Bullying Awareness during her year of service. Giffey, the current Miss West Sounds Outstanding Teen, will be performing a color guard/flag routine for the talent portion of the competition.

    Sarah Gaskey is Miss Port Orchards Out-standing Teen and a sophomore at South Kitsap High School. Gaskey will be performing ballet en pointe for her talent and is promoting Lets Dance! Pointe Toward Dance Education. Sarah has studied dance for 13 years at The Academy of Dance in Port Orchard.

    Emily Houston is Miss Northwests Out-standing Teen and a junior at South Kitsap High School. She has been active in her plat-form Relay for Life for several years and is a Team Captain & the Survivor Chair. Houston was Miss West Sounds Outstanding Teen 2013 and will be singing for her talent.

    The contestants will be in Burien from Fri-day, May 22, through Monday, May 25, for rehearsals and activities surrounding the pag-eant. The first preliminary competition will be Saturday May 23 at Highline starting at 7 p.m. and the final night will be on Sunday May 24 at 6 p.m.

    WSDOT photoA damaged section of the Agate Pass Bridge.

    BAINBRIDGE ISLAND Motorists are advised to expect delays on State Route 305 this weekend while crews repair damaged pedes-trian railing on the Agate Pass Bridge north of Bainbridge Island.

    Flaggers will reduce traffic to one alternating lane at the bridge between 6 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, May 16 and 17. In addition, Washington State Patrol officers will flag traffic through the SR 305 intersection at Suquamish Way.

    The railing was damaged on May 5 by an errant trailer that broke free from a vehicle towing it across the bridge. The trailer first hit

    the pedestrian rail on one side of the bridge, then on the other side. The force of the impact bent and broke the railing on both sides, bent a steel member under the bridge and sheared off bolts.

    Over the last week, crews have hand-fabri-cated the replacement railing, as it is unique to the bridge. In addition to replacing the broken railing, crews will use an Under-Bridge-In-spection-Truck to inspect and repair the bent steel member and replace the sheared bolts.

    The work is scheduled to occur regardless of weather conditions.

    Repairs require SR 305 Agate Pass Bridge lane closures this weekend

    Kitsap Adult Center for Education, formerly known as the Literacy Council of Kitsap, held its 24th Annual Corporate Spelling Bee at the Baymont Inn and Suites on May 8.

    In this era of spell-check and abbreviated text-message spelling, the teams gave lie to the notion that spelling is a lost art. Once again this year, the Silverdale Rotary Team We BEE Ducks won first place, thanks to the efforts of Mike Gass and Ed Hamilton. They spelled correctly the word kathak after 13 rounds of competition. Second place went to Helens Team, a team of KACE volunteers spelling in honor of Helen Robinson, the late former director of the agency. They mis-spelled the word lansquenet.

    In addition, Bremerton Kiwanis Kiwan-iBeez once again won the prize for the best cheering squad, thanks to the enthusiasm of their Key club affiliate. Kitsap Credit Union Spellcasters won an award for the Best Ban-ner. Best costumes belonged to Helens Team.

    Each team registers to compete with a $500 contribution to the work of KACE. Team participation and money raised at the silent and live auctions support the volunteer-based program of helping adult students with basic English and math skills, GED preparation, and English as a Second Language instruction. Gift certificates, theme baskets, and services from individuals and local businesses are generously donated for the auction tables.

    I enjoyed Karen Bests column in the May 8 Bremerton Patriot/Central Kitsap Reporter regarding things that used be a part of our daily lives. I was born in West Bremerton in 51, and have lived in the Bremerton/Tracyton area all my life.

    Did you recall the Wigwam burners that used to burn the wood scraps for the local mills? There was at least one at the Old Mill site on the mouth of Clear Creek at Dyes Inlet, where the road crosses Bucklin Hill Road, across from the Staples store. There were at least three, going around the baypoint in the Gorst area (undoubtedly the reason the Wigwam Tavern in Gorst is called the Wigwam). There was one burner just before the railroad overpass on the way out of Bremerton, the old wrecking yard being just the other side of the overpass. There were at least two other burners on the south side of the bay, as the highway leads to Port Orchard.

    In the late 1960s and early 70s, a high school friend and I walked out that highway to Gorst nearly every night. The highway being narrower then just one lane going either direction, if I am correct those burners, with their warm orange/yellow glow at the screened top, made for some of the only night-time lighting out there and was very comforting to see as we walked the highway. There was very little traffic out there (or anywhere) back in those days; curfew was 10 p.m., I think.

    Silverdale had very little in it back then a nice, quiet little village, where I recall the summer nights when the group of about 10 or so teenagers sat in a large circle in the middle of what is now Silverdale Way. They had an area picked out in the road, in front of what is now the Grocery Outlet parking area. They could just relax and tell stories and whatever, since there were seldom any vehicles going through Silverdale at night and if any came through, they could be seen and heard long before coming to that area near the White Light Tavern intersection.

    There were the long-ago times that the entire area where the Eastside Goodwill and the old Kmart and Eagle Hard-ware stores used to be, was all a pond or swamp, and the

    adults in the 1940s and 50s ice-skated on the frozen pond.I remember having to scrounge for a dime for the toll at

    the toll booths at the Warren Avenue Bridge and the Manette Bridge. Speaking of which, there were times that young guys mainly Navy would dive off the Manette Bridge on bets. I recall three teachers reminiscing about times when guys from Bremerton High School (1940s or 50s) would dare to walk on the handrails across the Manette Bridge. There was also the old habit of local banks tossing canvas bags of old damaged coins off the Manette Bridge to be rid of them that one was reported in the Bremerton Sun.

    In 1980-something, I met a 97-year-old man in Keyport who had lived in Keyport all his life, except for military ser-vice. He was born in the family rowboat, while going from Keyport to the hospital in Seattle. He recalled years when the snow got about 3 or 4 feet deep out there. And there was the stormy day when everyone on the Kalakala had to huddle in the womens restroom the only place on the boat with a heater that worked when the wind blew so hard that it

    There isnt much cuter than a small boy with pudgy hands and wispy hair. One of motherhoods greatest rewards is the love of a little boy.

    And then they become teenagers.Well, not even teenagers, actual-

    ly. The fun begins around age 11. I know, if you have a toddler at home right now, thats sooner than you had imagined. But trust me, from the moment they enter kindergarten, they are on a fast track to adolescence, and things start to go awry after the first decade.

    Heres what you should expect:1. The mess and smellLittle boys, even when they have

    jelly stuck on their fingers and dried-up peanut butter on their cheek, are endlessly snuggable. Their messy pants, as offensive as they might be, are even somehow sweet. At the very least, they arent repulsive. Cleaning little boys messesrunny noses or dirty feetis like cleaning your own.

    Then suddenly they become sepa-rate. Their dirt, smell and hygiene are all their own, and you might gag as you clean out their sports bag.

    This is natures way of making you stop snuggling them. Because that would just be weird.

    2. The fightingMy two oldest sons used to be

    best friends. I prided myself on their closeness. Then they became teenag-ers, and their fights, metaphorically speaking, went something like this: one brother would aim for the most vulnerable place on the other his grades, his cowlick, his size, his height and go in for the knock out.

    Is it not at all uncommon these days to find them physically hurting one another on the kitchen floor. When I pull them apart, their hearts visibly beat in their necks.

    This concerned me for a long time. I cried about it in my bathroom. And then one day my husband said, Until the testosterone settles down, just know that we are basically living with two adolescent bucks ramming their

    horns. He suggested I watch Animal Planet if I didnt believe him.

    3. The aloofnessIf toddlers had iPhones, the texts

    with their mothers would go some-thing like this:

    Kid: I love you more than choco-late cake.

    Mom: I love you, too.Kid: I cant wait to see you after

    school.Mom: Me, too. Lets go to the park.Kid: Will you push me on the

    swings? I love it when you push me on the swings.

    Texts with teenage sons go like this:Mom: How was your day?Teenager: Good. Whats for din-

    ner?I sometimes scan my boys phones

    because thats the rule as long as they are younger than 18 and Im paying for it. I am shocked when I see that my teenager, whos text vocabulary seems limited to whats for dinner, actually has ongoing conversationsin full and multiple sentenceswith

    his friends.4. The exaggerationsI have no scientific basis for this,

    but its been my experience that what-ever your son is, he will become a big-ger one as he moves through adoles-cence. If hes argumentative by nature, prepare to feel like youre living with a lawyer until the hormones settle down. If he was a naughty toddler (lets face it, sometimes pretty cute), he will be an even naughtier teenager (definitely not cute). If he was always sort of lazy, dust will form on him on the couch.

    5. The negativityIts hard to believe this right now,

    but somedays you will not enjoy your teenage boy. You always love him, yes, but that doesnt mean you like being around him. Its like the hormones and changes basically swallow up your sweet, sticky, loving toddler and turn him into something you thought only existed in after-school specials.

    You once bathed this child. You wiped his nose. You rocked him to

    sleep. You kissed his sweet forehead.Now you cant wait for him to get

    out of your car.But heres the good news: Puber-

    ty eventually spits them back out a little bit at a time. Occasionally you see glimmers of that sweet little boy buried beneath hairy arms and legs, and, thank goodness, the smell of aftershave.

    And then one day your teenager texts you and says, Want to go get dinner together after baseball, and you think youve won the lotteryor escaped what had seemed like a train wreck just months before.

    The way I see it, the teenage years are a metamorphosis, and even the sweet, pudgy caterpillars cocoon is kind of hard to look at. But I am learning, as my oldest son seems to be emerging from the cave I mean cocoon, that this thing with wings on the other side is really quite spectac-ular.

    Thats when you realize, oh shoot, he can fly. Hes likable again. Hes interesting and fun to be around. Hes outside of his room more than he is in it.

    Someday, he just might leave the nest.

    And then, well, you feel sad.

    Until the testosterone settles down, just know that we are basically living with two adolescent bucks ramming their horns.

    blew out the front windows of the boat on the way back from Seattle. It blew the snow into the boat from the places where the glass was missing.

    Im sure there is more, but it just seemed that the good old days really had a lot less noise and stressful traffic conditions we could comfortably walk all around the county, without the traffic and crowding that came in with the Trident sub base. Walking onto the ferry to go to the Big City was a real treat to many of us.

    JFK advised Khrushchev and Castro that if they wanted to bury us, they would have to do it past the nuke weapons that would be coming back at them. Things got real quiet from Russia and Cuba after our President took them off his Christmas card list. We just didnt know that things were better for many of us then, since the adults, at least, still had to work and stress about whether they would survive, financially. There were always the threats brought to us by the news media we were going to die in our bomb shelters, from the atomic blast. Outer-space aliens were going to annihilate us before we could graduate high school.

    Wars in Korea and Vietnam, and the still-fresh memories of the Big War and the Big Depression and the Dust Bowl, etc.

    Lots of things seem less ominous to think back on, now that we realize that we (many of us, anyway) lived through the things that the news media terrorized us with.

    OPINIONCONTINUED FROM A1

    Mr. Trail, Randy Peterson, passed away.What is the measure of a man? Do you mea-

    sure his career in the Coast Guard defending our shores, and saving people from the seas? Do you measure raising successful children that are contributors to society? Or do you measure the commitment he had to the community building the Clear Creek Trail?

    Randy Peterson was all of these, but I think of him as Mr. Clear Creek. For twenty years, he built and maintained the Clear Creek trail. He loved the trail, and when Illness prevented him from actively doing his day-to-day chores; he continued with his advice.

    Randy, with his cute little red Jeep pick-up were a daily feature on the trail for years. He kept the trail mowed, picked up trash, and fixed anything that needed fixing. He never made a

    deal of it; he just did it. He loved building and expanding the trail. He ran twenty Earth Day events building the trail and countless work days with alternative to detention kids build-ing citizenship.

    Randy had no ego. When he thought some-thing was good for the community, he did it. Over the years, he acquired all our tools and maintained them. From his Coast Guard experience, he knew how to make do on a shoe string. He never wimped about lack of resources. He was resourceful. A lesser man would have quit.

    Randy was my friend. Ill miss him. His leg-acy is our inspiration. When you walk the trail, enjoy it; but realize it didnt just happen.

    Emma and Noah are Amer-icas most popular baby names for 2014. Emma returns to the top spot she held in 2008 and hangs out in first place with Noah.

    There are a few new names in the top 10 this year - James (a former No. 1 from the 40s and 50s) on the blue side and Charlotte on the pink side, her first time ever in the top 10.

    Here are the top 10 boys and girls names for 2014:

    Boys:1) Noah2) Liam3) Mason4) Jacob5) William6) Ethan7) Michael8) Alexander9) James10) Daniel

    Girls:1) Emma2) Olivia3) Sophia

    4) Isabella5) Ava6) Mia7) Emily8) Abigail9) Madison10) Charlotte

    The agency began compil-ing the baby name list in 1997, with names dating to back to 1880. At the time of a childs birth, parents supply the name to the agency when applying for a childs Social Security card.

    Each year, the list reveals the effect of pop-culture on nam-ing trends. This years biggest jumps in popularity in the top 1,000 names were Aranza and Bode.

    Aranza jumped an amazing 3,625 spots on the girls side to number 607, from number 4,232 in 2013. The Latin soap opera Siempre Mi Amore was aired on Univision from 2013 to 2015.

    The show featured a young lead character named Aranza, and obviously had its effect on

    naming trends last year.Bode raced ahead 645 spots,

    from number 1,428 in 2013 to number 783 in 2014. This might have had something to do with the Winter Olympics in early 2014, where Bode Miller continued his alpine skiing career by collecting his sixth Olympic medal.

    Not only is he the most suc-cessful male American alpine skier of all time, he is consid-ered by many to be an Amer-ican hero.

    The second fastest riser for boys was Axl, a nod to both rock legend Axl Rose of Guns N Roses and Axl Jack Duhamel, son of Stacy Ann Fergie Ferguson and Josh Duhamel.

    For girls, Montserrat, the lead character in a very pop-ular Latin soap opera, was number two, joined by anoth-er Monserrat (spelled just one letter differently) at number three.

    OLYMPIA When it comes to bicycle education, advocacy, planning, policy and programs, Washington state still leads the pack.

    For the eighth consecutive year, the League of American Bicyclists has named Wash-ington the top ranked Bicycle Friendly State.

    The league annually ranks all 50 states on how bikeable they are and announces the ranking report cards as part of national Bike Month.

    Gov. Jay Inslee earlier this

    month officially proclaimed May as Bike Month in Wash-ington and described the many benefits of bicycling.

    Bicycling plays an import-ant role in Washingtons qual-ity of life; it gives Washingto-nians a viable transportation option, encourages a healthy lifestyle and lowers our indi-vidual carbon footprint while supporting our local econ-omies through bicycle tour-ism, Inslee said. Being again named the most bike-friendly state inspires us to continue

    building on the progress weve made.

    With a continued emphasis on transportation partner-ships and community engage-ment, the Washington State Department of Transportation is collaborating with others to increase bicycle ridership in Washington, while at the same time reducing the number of injuries and deaths.

    As part of that effort, the Washington State Depart-ment of Transportation urges all users to share the road.

    This report card shows weve made incredible strides in bicycle safety, education and investment, said Secretary of Transportation Lynn Peterson. Well continue working with our bicycling partners and Washingtons communities on improving conditions to meet our goal of increased safety and opportunities for bicycle transportation.

    WSDOT is elevating bik-ing and walking statewide by providing new design flexi-bility and guidance, increas-ing multimodal connections and developing a statewide performance measurement program.

    When Washington bikes, local economies grow, kids can get to school safer, and everyone is healthier, said Barb Chamberlain, executive director of Washington Bikes. Im elated at Washingtons designation as the most bicy-cle-friendly state, but we have so much more to do to make sure everyone from eight to 80 can bicycle safely and easily.

    Washington named the most bike friendly state for eighth straight year

    Pheasant Fields Farms added to mentor program

    SILVERDALE Starting in the summer of 2015, Pheasant Fields Farms will be a partici-pant in the Cultivating Success Farmer Mentor program, an on-farm internship program that allows students to work one-on-one with an experi-enced farmer mentor. There are currently 13 farmer men-tors throughout Washington State and this is the first time a Kitsap County farm has been enrolled in the program.

    Student interns who are accepted into the program are matched with a mentor to receive hands-on experience in all aspects of production and marketing over the course of the farming season.

    Farmer mentors receive on-going assistance with curricula development and implementation from WSU staff that help to coordinate the Cultivating Success pro-gram.

    We are thrilled that Nikki and Allen are participants in this program, explains Renee Overath, Director for WSU Kitsap County Extension.

    Its a big deal for them to be accepted because its a compet-itive program and lots of farms want to participate. Pheasant Fields Farm will have an extra set of hands this season and have a positive impact for a new farmer wanting to learn the ropes.

    Pheasant Fields Farm is one of Kitsap Countys oldest farms, growing food since 1905. The farm is currently a family-run operation owned by Nikki and Allen Johanson that has been in their fam-ily for more than 50 years. They have expanded planting areas to more than six acres even though they lost more than five acres of the original 15-acre plot when State Route 3 was constructed.

It is the 48th year for the two-day event, which started in 1968. Volunteers staff the activities and there is no cost to the children or families who attend. The event is for special needs children who may not otherwise be able to participate in field trips or unique edu-cational activities due to limitations through school. But the founders Coleta and the late Nick Corey wanted to create a day just for those children to feel like they can do things like everyone else.

    A tractor-pulled hay ride, above, and a game where children could lasso steer heads attached to bales of hay, below, were among the activities children could enjoy. A bean bag toss and snow cone stand were also featured.

    OLYMPIA Results from the Healthy Youth Survey help school staff, community members, and par-ents understand how youth perceive their school experience, and how bet-ter to help students succeed in school and life.

    Results of the 2014 Healthy Youth Survey were released in March 2015. In addition to substance and alco-hol use the survey collects informa-tion related to school commitment, opportunities for involvement in school-related activities, and the presence of a helpful adult in the school and community.

    State Superintendent Randy Dorn said that more state money is needed to help students who dont feel con-nected to school.

    All students need to understand how important school is, he said. Part of that understanding is to have someone they can rely on when they need help. That support system is critical so that students dont fall through the cracks and drop out.

    The survey results connect a

    lack of commitment to school with increased risky behaviors and decreased academic performance in key areas:

    School commitmentA students commitment to school

    is determined by responses to a num-ber of questions, such as whether he/she enjoys school, is interested in school work, if they find school work meaningful and important and tries his/her best in school.

    Statewide, about 62 percent of 10th-grade students are classified as having a high commitment to school. Of the 10th graders that had a high commitment to school:

    81 percent reported high grades (mostly As or Bs), (compared to 62 percent of students who reported a low commitment to school);

    11 percent reported using marijua-na, (compared to 29 percent who had a low commitment); and

    13 percent reported drinking alco-hol, (compared to 30 percent of those who had a low commitment).

    Positive social opportunities in school

    Positive social opportunities at school include participating in class-room discussions, extracurricular activities, decision making, and one-on-one conversations with teachers.

    Of the 10th graders who report-ed that they have more school social opportunities:

    72 percent have a high commit-ment to school (compared to 42 percent of students reporting fewer opportunities);

    31 percent reported depressive feelings (compared to 47 percent of students reporting fewer opportuni-ties);

    18 percent reported being bullied (compared to 29 percent of students reporting fewer opportunities);

    15 percent report using marijuana (compared to 24 percent of students reporting fewer opportunities); and

    17 percent use alcohol (compared to 25 percent of students reporting fewer opportunities).

    Trusted adultsAbout 74 percent of 10th graders

    reported that they can talk to adults in their community about something important. Of those students:

    66 percent have a high commit-ment to school (compared to 48 percent of students that do not feel they can talk to adults in their com-munities);

    18 percent reported drinking alcohol (compared to 25 percent of students that do not feel they can talk to adults in their communities); and

    16 percent reported using marijua-na (compared to 24 percent of stu-dents that do not feel they can talk to adults in their communities).

    About 23 percent of students reported that they do not have an adult at school to help them (or they werent sure). Of those students:

    28 percent reported drinking alcohol (compared to 19 percent of students that have an adult at school to help them) and

    25 percent reported using mar-ijuana (compared to 16 percent of students that have an adult at school to help them).

    Andra Kelley-Batstone, a high school counselor in Olympia, noted

    that data from the Healthy Youth Survey help address students needs.

    While it is perception data, we value any information and insight regarding how our students feel at school, she said.

    We know from research that those feelings impact their daily ability to fully focus on and engage in learning.

    At Olympia High School, weve developed a new mentor program and increased support for new stu-dent transition and other activities in response to the survey. Thats cre-ated a more inclusive school environ-ment.

    The Healthy Youth Survey, which is anonymous and voluntary, is administered in even years to 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th graders. In 2014, 220,000 Washington students from 986 schools participated. Data are available at AskHYS.net.

    The survey is given by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruc-tion, the Department of Health, the Department of Social and Health Services Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery and the Wash-ington State Liquor Control Board.

    Survey finds 62 percent of students have high commitment to schoolRecently released results show a connection between a students commitment to school, risky behaviors and academic performance

    POULSBO Bremerton resident Wesley Peper took first place in the Speech Evaluation contest on May 1 for Toastmasters in District 32s Division B, which includes commu-nities in Kitsap, Jefferson and Clallam counties.

    Peper will be in the final compe-tition for speech evaluation at the District 32 conference on Saturday, May 16, at Pacific Lutheran Univer-sity. The event is open to the public. Toastmasters District 32 includes three other divisions, stretching from Olympia north to Federal Way and west to include the Kitsap, Key and Olympic peninsulas.

    Further information on the Spring Conference is at http://d32.toastmas-tersdistricts.org/Spring_Conference.html.

    At the division contest, Peper rep-resented Professionally Speaking Toastmasters (www.prospeakerclub.com), an advanced club that meets in Poulsbo. He also belongs to Bremer-ton Toastmasters, a club open to any-one over the age of 18 interested in improving his or her speaking and leadership skills.

    Peper has been a Toastmaster for 10 years, and has attained the Distin-guished Toastmasters award, one of the highest achievements in Toast-masters. He also belongs to Toast-masters clubs near his work place in Seattle. He has held numerous club officer positions and been an area governor in both District 32 and

    District 2, encompassing the Seattle clubs.

    Every day is a gift. To take advan-tage of every second, you must never stop learning, listening and growing, he said. Toastmasters helped me reach the top of my profession. My wife Amy (also a Toastmaster) and I have started our own professional speaking business, The Pepers, LLC. I always knew I could do anything. Toastmasters was the vehicle to make it happen. It has changed my life for-ever.

    Through self-paced educational programs, Toastmasters shed their fear of public speaking, while gaining organizational and leadership skills that help them progress in their pro-fessional and personal lives.

    are.In his football career, Sher-

    man said some players might be afraid of real big compet-itors on the field.

    Im not scared of nothing. But in those situations, you know, theyre running full speed; youre running full speed theyve got a ball; youve got to tackle them. And the decision to be courageous is one that some people make and some people dont.

    Some people say, Well thats Marshawn Lynch. Im just going to get out of the way and let him score a touch-down, and some people try to tackle him. I mean, they may not succeed in tackling him but they try, so its courageous.

    But there are other ways you can be courageous. In school a lot of people get bul-lied. A lot of people think because theyre bigger and badder that they can bully people. And it takes courage to stand up to bullies. It takes courage to be a person who doesnt bully. It takes courage to stand up to people that youre afraid of.

    You know its always unique what time in your

    life you realize youre coura-geous, because everybody has courage within them and sometimes you realize that at a young age, and sometimes youre 55 and you realize, Oh, Ive got some courage in me.

    Sherman said when he was little he used to be afraid of the bogeyman in the dark.

    You guys dont seem like youre scared of those things. You guys have iPhones and stuff so Ive got to keep up with the times (and) figure out what you guys are afraid of. I guess losing your (phone) charger, Sherman joked.

    Always remember that courage isnt the absence of fear, its you triumphing over fear. You standing up to fear and not being afraid. You standing up to the things youre afraid of. You acting while being afraid youre still doing what youre sup-posed to be doing.

    The students eagerly pep-pered Sherman with ques-tions:

    What makes you coura-geous?

    I guess my dad.One day we were play-

    ing football and there was a guy that was really bigger than me and I wasnt trying to tack-le him and my dad came up to me, picked me up and then he

    body slammed me and I was like, Well, Im not going to get that done again. Id rather deal with him (the player) than deal with him (the father).

    Was the post-game turkey leg (after the 49ers game) any good?

    It was a little greasy.How long has your hair

    been in dreadlocks?Since 2004. Going on 11

    years.Whats the hardest thing

    about talking to Cedar Heights students?

    Well you guys make me nervous. I dont know what youre going to do. You guys take a lot of pictures. Youre going to put me on Instagram and things of that nature. Ins-ta-Twitter-book, he joked.

    Some people fear standing in front of people and speak-ing. I dont.

    He said he hoped the stu-dents understood his message, and that if they did he would consider his visit successful.

    Would he do the whip dance?

    What kind of touchdown celebration am I going to have if I give you guys all my act today?

    Do you get ner-vous before

    (be) patient.The threat level increase

    applies to all military installa-tions North America, Murray

    said.Its unclear how long bases

    will remain at Bravo, but Mur-ray asked that the Kitsap com-munity stay alert.

    Members of the military, their families and the public in general are encouraged to

    remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to local law enforcement authorities, Murray said. If you see some-thing, say something.

    BREMERTON The Bremerton School Board announced the resignation of board member Ken Watkins at its May 7 meeting.

    Watkins had trouble attend-ing board meetings due to schedule conflicts with his work, according to several board members. Hed missed nine of the 14 meetings this school year, including the last six.

    I very much enjoyed hav-

    ing Ken on the board, said Dave Rubie, board pre s i d e nt . He had an ongoing bat-tle to find the time to be here between

    work and personal issues.The board received his let-

    ter of resignation April 28. His seat is now vacant.

    Scott Rahm will replace Watkins as the boards auditor. Watkins led the board through

    three successful audits with the state.

    Applications for his position must be completed by May 29. The board will conduct public interviews with finalists June 18. Watkins interim replace-ment will begin July 9.

    Watkins seat is up for elec-tion in 2015.

    Ten Bremerton teachers earn National Board certi cationBY PETER [email protected]

    Ten teachers from the Bremerton School District earned recognition as Nation-al Board Certified Teachers.

    Superintendent Aaron Leavell compared the work needed to earn National Board recognition to that of a mas-ters degree.

    In some ways I would say

    it may be more valuable than a masters degree due to its pin-point focus on a teachers spe-cific task and their analysis of their own practice, said Pam Abbott, a teacher at Bremerton High School.

    Recipients are:Lisa Brooks, Naval Avenue

    COURT REPORT

    This summer, the City of Bremerton will complete a pavement overlay of Austin Drive from Kitsap Way to Erlands Point Drive. The majority of funding for this project is from the Federal Highway Administration with a match of 13.5 percent from the Citys Transportation Benefit District. In addition to the overlay, the project will improve several curb ramps and include other features to meet ADA accessibility criteria and improve pedestrian safety.

    As summer approaches and park use increas-es, the City would like to remind residents that the speed limit through the NAD Park is 15-MPH. To help reinforce this, the improve-ments within the NAD Park will include con-struction of a speed table and marked crossing of Austin Drive.
