Terrorism threat level raised at NBKBY PETER
[email protected]
BREMERTON If lines to enter Naval Base Kitsap (NBK) have seemed
a little long than usual lately, theres 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. Its 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

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.

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.

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.

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.
Tex Lewis, Silverdale

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.

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

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.
Bremerton Toastmasters club meets every Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in
the cafeteria meeting room at Har-rison Hospital, 2520 Cherry Ave.,
in Bremerton. The clubs website is

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.

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.

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
Early Learning Center; Juli-ana Cook, Phoenix Academy; Veda
Hernandez-Langford, Bremerton High School;
Kyle Moore, Bremerton High School; Dianna Pike, Bremer-ton High
School; Melissa Munzi, Crownhill Elementa-ry; Mark Shipley,

Middle School; Kath-ryn Sprague, View Ridge Ele-mentary; and Emily
Thatcher, West Hills STEM Academy.

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.
