Two suicides reported this year
Armed with some major honors, Wyatt Skelley is pursuing his dream in L.A.

OULSBO — Wyatt Skelley discovered his passion early in life. He was meant for a
stage. Dancing, acting, modeling; if there’s a stage, Wyatt can handle it. “When I was little, I always used to dance around the house, and I told mom I wanted to take dancing classes,” Wyatt said. “I loved it so much, I just wanted to be a dancer.” The 11-year-old said he has been dancing for five years. Hip hop is his favorite form. “I like the way I can express my feelings (through hip hop),” Wyatt said. “It just makes me feel really happy.” It wasn’t just dancing. Acting and modeling followed as he got connected with Seattle Talent, an agency for young actors, dancers and singers. “I started taking more acting classes and learning how to really act,” Wyatt said. “It’s really fun because I can pretend to be what I
this year, and four within the past five years, according to the district. On Feb. 12, NKSD Superintendent Patty Page said the district is developing a policy to respond to a new law that requires school districts to have a suicide prevention plan in place. “Nobody is taking this lightly,” she said. “Part of our strategic plan is nurturing and providing a safe See PREVENTION, Page A3

It’s by invitation only, and you get seen by a couple hundred people instead of sending a resume out and seeing one person at a time.” Wyatt auditioned and earned his invite. His appearance at the International Modeling and Talent Association proved favorable. “Basically, he won 44 awards and trophies, and he won the most prestigious which is ‘Most Sought After Male Talent,’” Skelley said. “He got 44 callbacks.” He also came away with the association’s title of Actor of the Year. He placed in every category he competed in and finished near the top models listed for Model of the Year. “It made me feel really good and more confident about myself,” Wyatt said. Wyatt now spends his days in Los Angeles in the wake of his competition success. “I’m auditioning for TV shows and going to acting classes, dancing classes, stuff like that,” Wyatt said. “And getting ready in case they call me for a TV show.”

Transportation package includes gas tax increase By COOPER INVEEN
WNPA Olympia News Bureau
OLYMPIA — After 22 months of negotiations, four senators — two Republicans and two Democrats— have unveiled a $15 billion transportation package with an 11.7 centsper-gallon gas tax increase at its revenue core. “It’s been a thorough and tough negotiation, but we did it with an honest appreciation for each other’s needs,” said Senate Transportation Committee Chairman Curtis King, R-Yakima. On Feb. 17 and 18, the Senate Transportation Committee hears testimony on the 11 bills that make up the package. King and Sens. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, Steve Hobbs,
Prevention
Continued from page A1 environment. [But] we are not mental health counselors; that’s not our charge … We will be at any table to help and support the program, but we can’t carry the whole load.” Various curricula in suicide prevention are being implemented at the discretion of individual schools within NKSD. Currently, there is not a standard program being taught districtwide. Kristin Schutte of Olympic Educational Service District 114 said NKSD’s three elementary school counselors have been trained in a program called “Riding the Waves,” which can be used with fifth-grade students. The instruction focuses on strategies to prevent suicide. The counselors at the middle schools have been trained in the “Look Listen Link” curriculum and the high school counselors in the “HELP” curriculum. According to Schutte, the goal of these programs is to reduce risk factors and increase protection factors. Madison Roszak, a Running Start senior at NKHS, told the board she feels the resources currently available at the high school are “a good start” but are “underwhelming.” Madison’s mom, Amy, feels
D-Lake Stevens, and Marko Liias, D-Mukilteo, announced the package during a press event on Feb. 12. The proposal would raise Washington’s 35.7 cents-per-gallon gas tax by 5 cents in July, 4.2 cents in July 2016 and another 2.5 cents in July 2017. Not all of the projected $15 billion would come from the gas-tax increase. Yearly car-tab fees would be raised by $15 in the program’s first year and then by an additional $8 in 2022. The classified skill examination fee for obtaining a commercial driver’s license would increase from $100 to $250. The 16-year program would dedicate $8 billion to highway and road-maintenance projects with a primary focus on what King called Washington’s areas of economic significance. The package would fund widening projects on I-405
counselors are being held responsible for too much. Middle school counselor Doug Segur believes the emphasis in suicide prevention should be on resilience and on training the peers of at-risk students. Most youth talk to their peers about their feelings. Schools are already good at identifying at-risk students through their peers. Segur also advises parents that it’s OK for them to check their student’s social media accounts to check for signs of suicidal ideation. Teen Screen is a resource no longer used at NKSD; Segur believes it should be brought back into use because it was incredibly effective at identifying atrisk students. When school board president Beth Worthington pointed out that no one in the community is leading

east of Seattle, I-90 through the Snoqualmie Pass corridor and I-5 near Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Tacoma as well as a new north-south I-395 corridor in Spokane. The plan includes $1.2 billion for completing the west side of the new Highway 520 bridge between Seattle and Bellevue, funding that otherwise would have been gathered through a toll on the I-90 floating bridge. The proposal also includes a measure that would allow Puget Sound residents to vote on $11 billion in tax
the effort in suicide prevention, Segur replied, “You are certainly the leader in the school system. If you were providing the leadership in our school system, the community will follow.” Helen Hoover of the League of Women Voters agrees. The league’s committee on the prevention of suicide is interested to learn what NKSD is doing and is eager to work with the district. Look for a policy on suicide prevention from the district at the next board meeting, scheduled on Feb. 26. There are also plans to train all school staff members in grades K-12 in suicide prevention, risk and protective factors, warning signs, and how to connect students to resources.
increases—ranging from sales to property taxes—to fund light-rail extensions. Other areas of the state — specifically legislative districts 1, 10, 20 and 40 in the Puget Sound area and Lewis County — would see no improvements. The Olympic Peninsula would see only minor improvements on a highway stretch near Elma in Grays Harbor County. The package includes some funding for rural transit, vanpools, safety programs, bike lanes and pedestrian walkways. But there’s a catch: if any carbon-fuel standards or greenhouse gas reduction requirements are implemented by Gov. Jay Inslee, that money would be withdrawn and reallocated to the state’s roads and highways. King explained: “It helps by having them not implement a carbon-fuel standard.” Hobbs quickly interjected: “One little issue that we’re going to have to work out.” Setting a cap on state-
wide greenhouse gas emissions and establishing limits on the carbon-content of Washington fuels are two of Inslee’s signature issues. Republicans have opposed both ideas, citing fears that corporate costs would be passed on to consumers. Costs for maintaining California’s emissions cap have led to a 10 centsper-gallon increase in gas prices since the program began. “We must make progress on funding transportation and reducing carbon emissions this session,” Inslee said in a press release following the package’s unveiling. “We need to see how much support the bill has in the Senate, and then we can all work on the next phase of negotiations.” The Senate transportation package sponsors said that because the four of them were able to reach across party lines to come up with the proposals, they are confident that they can muster the votes needed to get some version of it passed. But the carbon-re-
duction provision isn’t the only part of the package that has Democrats worried. “In addition to that, funding is removed from a critical environmental cleanup account that is essential to maintaining a healthy environment,” Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, said in a joint statement with Sens. Pramila Jayapal, D-Seattle, and Cyrus Habib, D-Kirkland. “As it is currently constructed, I will not be able to support this plan.” The proposal also includes a provision to move approximately $350 million from the state’s general fund to the transportation fund. The Legislature is under court order to significantly increase education funding and some Democrats worry that taking money out of the general fund will make it difficult to meet that obligation. Republicans have opposed tax increases to fund education.

IN OUR OPINION
An agreement that benefits many in Kitsap W
e congratulate CHI Franciscan Health and Regence BlueShield for coming to agreement on a new contract regarding reimbursements. The agreement brings Harrison Medical Center and Harrison HealthPartners back into the Regence network, which means Regence members have access to all health care services at Harrison Medical Center and Harrison HealthPartners at in-network rates. We know reaching agreement wasn’t easy and likely involved compromise on both sides, but we thank Regence and Harrison for their every effort. The crux of the matter was the amount of reimbursement for care that Regence and Harrison would agree to. According to Regence, Harrison’s desired increase in the reimbursement rate would have required Regence to raise its rates, resulting in more costly premiums for its members. In turn, Harrison called Regence’s offer “fiscally unsustainable long term.” Both sides hit a stalemate and the contract ended Aug. 22. Harrison was officially out of network, meaning Regence members would pay higher out-of-pocket costs for non-emergency care. Despite the tense language of the time — each accused the other of being ”unwilling to accept a fair and reasonable rate increase” or “[refusing] to negotiate in good faith” — they showed a desire to reach a new agreement. Both sides continued to negotiate. Harrison offered a discount program for Regence members to help offset the higher out-ofpocket costs. The discount program continued until Feb. 14. A new agreement was reached, effective Feb. 15. (CHI Franciscan Health spokesman Scott Thompson said the terms of the agreement are “proprietary” information and will not be disclosed). As we stated last week, we know there are costs to providing health care, and we know that there has to be a return on investment. But we depend on the insurance carrier and the local health care provider to make it work. We were confident Regence and Harrison would reach an agreement that benefits all. And they did. And for that, we are grateful. And we prefer the tone of late to the tense language of last year’s break: “We are extremely pleased that we have been able to come to an agreement with Regence BlueShield on a new contract,” Harrison president David Schultz said in a joint announcement. “This contract affords our patients continued access to all the providers and services Harrison Medical Center has to offer and at the same time provides for the continued financial success of both organizations.” And this from Don Antonucci, president of Regence BlueShield: “Today’s agreement with CHI Franciscan Health ensures that Regence members will have access and choice as they seek quality care at an affordable price for themselves and their families.” Congratulations, Regence and CHI Franciscan Health. Those who depend on you for access to quality medical care thank you.

LETTERS Still exciting in the best possible way If you want to travel to exciting places and defy war mongers, then stay out of battle zones. Your kidnapping would add to enemy coffers through ransom, or give them a new execution video. Instead, go to Bali. The autonomous island in the Republic of Indonesia suffered a bombing in 2002, which claimed 202 lives. Conditions have changed since then. Fellow travelers informed me that Muslim-dominated parts of Indonesia are intolerant and xenophobic. The traditionally Hindu Bali represents a bastion of acceptance and friendliness. Balinese people have outwitted right-wing Muslim terrorists. When a newcomer moves into an area, community elders politely ask for his identity card. This serves as a pleasant way to become acquainted with a new
neighbor. It also puts a terrorist on notice that he has wound up under civilian surveillance. Thanks to this ground-level approach, I never once felt in any danger. If Islamic terrorists made Bali unlivable, then cessation of tourism would cause economic depression throughout Indonesia. Your visit to Bali keeps Hindu culture important to Jakarta. Besides all that, you’ll have an
unforgettable adventure. Hike in jungles, swim in the ocean, and visit old temples. Theater lovers can watch the play “Kecak Ramayana & Fire Dance” in a spectacular cliff-top amphitheater with an ocean view at sunset. Bali is exciting in the best possible way. BIRKE DUNCAN Poulsbo
Primary or caucus: Changes may be imminent in state’s election system I
t is Washington’s quadrennial quandary. Every four years, the conversation starts anew on how to make this state’s presidential primary meaningful in the process of electing the nation’s next leader. And should an election even be held if it can’t be done? Conducting a primary in 2016 will cost taxpayers an estimated $11.5 million. The predicament is that voters desire one thing and the Democratic and Republican parties want something else, leaving the state’s chief election officer to bring the opposing forces together. Republican Secretary of State Kim Wyman thinks she can pull it off for 2016, though she needs support of the Legislature and agreement from the Democratic Party. More on her plan in a moment.
THE PETRI DISH By JERRY CORNFIELD Here’s the history: Washington is first, and forever, a caucus state. At those caucuses, the truly faithful of the Democratic and Republican parties gather to choose the delegates to the national conventions, where each party officially nominates its candidate for the Oval Office. In 1988, a few voters got it in their heads that they wanted a say in the process. More than 200,000 people signed an Initiative to the Legislature calling for a presidential primary to give voice to a far greater number of the state’s voters. In theory, candidates would take

note of this new primary and make sure the trail of their campaign passed through Washington. It worked pretty well in 2000 when, with no incumbent in the race, the four leading presidential candidates — Republicans George Bush and John McCain and Democrats Al Gore and Bill Bradley — campaigned in the state ahead of the primary. Bush and Gore won and went on to win their party’s nominations. But for the most part, it hasn’t turned out that well. The state canceled the primary in 2004 and 2012, and some wonder if it shouldn’t be stopped entirely. That’s because the Democratic Party ignores the election results and chooses its delegates solely on voting in caucuses. At this point, See PETRI DISH, Page A5

Immorality, cost of corporate tax evasion I
t couldn’t happen at a more opportune time. While we’re trying to get our taxes done on time so we’re not penalized for being late, we hear all about how rich individuals and corporations are actually refusing to pay their taxes to Uncle Sam. And all seemingly without consequence. By now, everyone has heard of HSBC (Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation). In 2012, it was investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice and fined $1.9 billion for aiding their rich tax-cheat clients. Now they’re in another stew due to leaked files. The whistleblower, a former security specialist for HSBC, stole files of 200507 data from the bank and handed them over to French authorities, who then divvied them out according to nationality of the account holder. The U.S. Justice Department is investigating data to see if HSBC indeed aided more than 4,000 wealthy U.S. clients to evade taxes by hiding their money ($13
AS IT TURNS OUT By MARYLIN OLDS billion) in its Swiss division. While offshore accounts are legal, hiding cash in them in order to evade taxes is not. According to Bloomberg Business, some of the corporations with significant offshore profits at the end of 2013 are General Electric, $110 billion; Pfizer, $69 billion; Exxon Mobil, $48 billion; Citigroup, $44 billion; Google, $39 billion; and McDonald’s, $16 billion. This is staggering news, because the rest of us are still dealing with austerity measures and budget cuts in places that should never see cutbacks. Yet, we’re told the money needs to go toward “more important”
things (think non-ending war and politicians’ pockets). There are more ways of trying to drown Uncle Sam in a bathtub that these criminal elite have found through the help of their tax attorneys, accountants and lobbyists. Corporate tax codes have plenty of “loopholes, perks and preferences.” A few more of the hugely successful corporations still feeding off the government teat include: n Walmart. The largest private-sector employer in the country, Walmart employees also make up the largest contingent of food stamp and Medicaid recipients. Why? Low wages and no employee health benefits. Yet, the Waltons (owners of Walmart) took home $3 billion in 2013, according to U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Florida. n Microsoft. Bill Gates has a massive fortune of “$81 billion and the company received $230 million in subsidies.” Microsoft sends “47 cents of every U.S. sales
dollar to Puerto Rico to pay for patents on discoveries largely made in the United States,” according to a Good Jobs First 12/14 report. n NFL. They received revenue last season of $10.5 billion even though they are a “not for profit.” Taxpayers spend billions on their teams to keep them in town. Teams receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks, according to CNN. President Obama’s 2016 budget proposal includes more money for infrastructure and creating jobs. Unfortunately, the money would all depend on a “mandatory one-time 14 percent tax on the $2 trillion” of offshore profits of U.S. corporations, “which would bring in $268 billion over six years,” according to the Economic Policy Institute. After that time, Obama’s proposal would put this tax at 19 percent. BTW, what’s your tax rate? n Apple. “Apple Inc., which has reported keeping $137 billion indefinitely invested offshore, would
owe nearly $18 billion under the Obama plan,” according to Citizens for Tax Justice. Corporate tax attorneys say Obama’s budget proposal may cause more corporations to follow those who have decided on “tax inversion.” This is where large corporations are “forced” to re-incorporate in a country with less taxes in order to make a decent profit because the U.S. has such high taxes. Tax inversion is “a new kind of American corporate exceptionalism: companies that have deserted our country to avoid paying taxes but expect to keep receiving the full benefits that being American confers, and for which everyone else is paying,” columnist Allan Sloan writes in The Washington Post. Why should we regular taxpayers have to pay American membership fees for these obscenely rich corporate tax cheats? — Olds is a columnist for the Kingston Community News.

Continued from page A4 that’s what it will do in 2016. The Republican Party, meanwhile, has allotted half its delegates based on the primary election results, with caucus voting deciding the rest. That’s its intention in 2016. Enter Wyman, the only Republican in statewide office, with a plan for dealing with the dilemma in 2016 when, as in 2000, there’s no incumbent running. She’s pushing a bill to move up the date of Washington’s primary from May to March 8, putting it just one week after the Super Tuesday binge of contests. Her proposal also requires the two major parties to assure her they will use the results in allocating a percentage of delegates. It doesn’t tell them how big a percentage, just that they will. Republicans are on board, Democrats are not, yet. An earlier primary could lure the Democratic Party to sign on because that could give Washington Democrats a bit more sway if there are multiple candidates. “The nominating process and the date of the primary really influence whether presidential candidates come to our state to campaign to voters or merely come through to fund raise,” she said Feb. 17. If Democrats get on board, next year voters will pick a party and get a ballot with only that party’s candidates. If not, all candidates of all parties will appear on the same ballot, turning the primary into little more than a beauty contest that costs $11.5 million. That could incite calls for the state to cancel the primary. “I don’t think we’re there yet,” she said. “We need the results of the presidential primary to mean something. This election is too important.” — Jerry Cornfield is political reporter for the (Everett) Daily Herald and blogs at www.heraldnet.com.

The entire project is more than the park-andride portion that will anchor the site. Ceccanti may also be awarded contracts to build a fueling station, and a washing facility for buses. Kitsap Transit has an office already located at the site, which will be incorporated into the overall plan. The price tag for the park-and-ride comes in at $9,398,730. The washing and fueling portion will
be pumped back out and removed. Brown Bear is also closing one of its Chevron gas stations on Bainbridge Island, located on the corner of Highway 305 and High School Road, in the Bainbridge Village shopping center. That gas station will close by the end of March, according to Palmer. The company also owns a station across the street

The construction effort will include clearing, grading, pulverizing and removing asphalt concrete, and then installing asphalt pavement, gutters, curbs, sidewalks, ramps, stormwater treatment and drainage, landscaping, illumination and surveillance systems, erosion control measures and bus shelters.

on High School Road that will remain open. It was purchased after the previous company — a 76 Gas Station franchise — went bankrupt in 2013. Palmer noted that the company, which is primarily a car wash business, hopes to open a Brown Bear car wash on the island in the future. But for now, the decrease in gas customers will leave the island with a single location. “With the volume, it just makes more sense to consolidate to one location,” Palmer said. Palmer said that ever since Brown Bear took over the Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island Chevron locations in 2003, it has failed to compete with neighboring gas
stations on Tribal reservations, which are not taxed the same as non-Tribal gas stations. “They have such a significant cost advantage,” Palmer said. “People are really price sensitive about fuel. They’ll cross the street for a few cents.” Islanders and Poulsbo residents were crossing over to the reservation, Palmer said, for gas prices up to 28 cents lower than non-Tribal locations. When a Safeway opened in Poulsbo in 2013 with its own gas station, down the street from the Brown Bear location, it made matters worse. “That has exasperated the issue,” Palmer said about Safeway’s gas station,
which offers lower prices than other nearby stations. “It was already tough with the Tribal situation.” “We were kind of crushed between those two entities,” he said. Palmer noted that grocery store gas stations can offset their low gas prices because the stations will often draw customers into the store, increasing profits there. In the 11 years since taking on the Poulsbo gas station, it has experienced a 68 percent decrease in customer volume, and a 33 percent decrease in volume at the island location, according to Palmer, who believes the drop is primarily due to Tribal competition. Gas taxes are struc-
tured differently for gas stations operated on 18 Tribal-reservations within the state. Tribal governments have agreed to be fully taxed when purchasing gas from state-licensed distributors. The state then refunds 75 percent of those taxes, and retains 25 percent; commonly referred to as a “75/25 agreement.” The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe and the Suquamish Tribe are among the 18 Tribes in the agreement. In 2013, a total of $9,968,893 was refunded to the 18 Tribes under the 75/25 agreement, according to a 2014 report from the Washington State Department of Licensing. Palmer said that the greatest dip in profits came in 2008, following changes in state regulations. The 2007 Legislature granted the governor the authority to negotiate gas tax deals with Tribes in Washington State. Contracts with Tribes for gas taxes, however, go back further than 2007. In 1995, the state began making deals with Tribal governments which challenged the state’s authority to levy taxes on reservations. Other Tribal governments have waged similar arguments since. The 75/25 tax deal is one such remedy to those challenges. Palmer said that the company has found it difficult to relocate employees of its closed gas stations, but tries to offer a decent severance package. Brown Bear opened its first car wash in 1957, and now has 48 locations in the region, often identified by signature bear sculptures in front of its businesses. It also operates Brown Bear markets at its locations, and operates Chevron, 76, and Texaco gas stations.

Sculpting tiny trees into works of art Bonsai Club By PETER O'CAIN Bremerton Patriot
B
REMERTON — Mark Stephens said he dabbles in
bonsai. He’s been doing it for 25 years — but he only dabbles. Stephens, 56, sits before a juniper bonsai tree, or “shimpaku.” It’s jagged and unkempt, the result of a season spent shaded by a wisteria plant. He has black framed glasses and a closely trimmed beard that runs red along jawline and fades into gray around his mouth. He runs his fingers along the branches, feeling for dieback, clipping away the dead branches. Stephens is a member of the Evergreen Bonsai Club. They met Friday Jan. 16 at the Crossroads Neighborhood Church in Bremerton. About 25 members showed up to hear a lecture about repotting bonsai trees by John Conn, a local expert. Everyone is sitting side by side listening to Conn. Everyone except for Stephens, who’s in the back dabbling. Make no mistake, Stephens is listening. He laughs the loudest and makes the most comments. Stephens first became interested in bonsai as a kid after seeing an ad in the back of a comic book. He started in the mid80s and then joined the Evergreen Bonsai Club in the early-90s. He compares bonsai to a cartoon from the comic strip “For Better or Worse.” “In one of the cartoon strips he went into a hobby shop and told the guy ‘I want a new hobby, I thought I’d get into trains’ and the guy said ‘My dear sir, model trains aren’t a hobby, they’re a way of life,’” Stephens said. “And that’s what I look like with bonsai too.” Stephens lives in Poulsbo and works at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard as an engineer. He’s been there since 1987. Before that he was in the Navy. Using a tool called an angle cutter, Stephens cuts away the base of a large branch. Later, he’ll peel away the surrounding

The idea is to make the branch appear dead, similar to a wild bonsai. The effect is called a “jin.” Adapting to the tree’s growth and changes in weather make bonsai an intricate and never-ending combination of art and horticulture. “The only finished bonsai is a dead bonsai,” Conn said. “They’re always growing, they’re always changing. You’re always re-sculpting them, you’re always reworking them.” Stephens is experiencing just that. “My problem was I left it covered and it didn’t get much sun so this year it’ll be on a bench where it gets more sunshine,” Stephens said. “So if I cut these back now, with some sunshine it’ll push growth back out in these other places and then I can start cutting branches off where I don’t want them and then the growth elsewhere will start pushing in.” Merrill Evans, 73, of Bremerton, has a juniper that hints at what’s capable in bonsai. Aluminum wire spirals around thin branches, curving them down and then up with patches of green raised toward the sun. He’s grown his tree around a piece of driftwood, giving it a half-dead appearance. It’s called a Phoenix graft. If done right, it’ll be hard to tell where the living tree begins and the deadwood ends. His tree pulls this off, as one new member was surprised to learn his tree was both living and dead.
Evans has had the wire on his tree for about two years. He has to be watchful of the wiring; if left on too long it can cut into the tree. “Some trees you put that wire on and it cuts in six months,” Evans said. Stephens admires Evans’ tree. “You can see there’s wire
here on this branch but they’ll wire all the way into these fans here and wire the fans of the juniper out here,” Stephens said. “The master’s will tell you, that’s what they want to see.” Bonsai can be tedious, but Stephens enjoys it. “This is fun because you get some fine tuning here but a lot of it is when I get

home from work during the spring,” Stephens said. “You go out and you water, you know, I’ll go out and I’ll pinch the trees.” Stephens has 45-50 trees in pots and another 100 in nursery containers which he uses for practice. During the summer he spends about an hour a day watering and pruning. But again, he only dabbles. The Evergreen Bonsai Club meets again Feb. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at Crossroads Neighborhood Church 7555 Old Military Road NE in Bremerton where there will be a bonsai garage sale. For more information, call 360-626-1264.
John Conn’s tips for beginners 1. Join a bonsai club. Clubs allow beginners to meet veterans who can recommend species of bonsai and answer questions. 2. Basic gardening tools. Bonsai specific tools aren’t necessary to begin, but they are better. 3. Soil mixes depend on climate. In wet areas like Bremerton, it’s important the soil doesn’t retain too much water. A mix of akadama and pumice or red lava rocks are recommended. 4. Be leery of roadside vendors. Some bonsai trees sold from vans have been purchased at low rates from gardening stores and then sold roadside at a higher price. A good juniper can be bought at a store for $20$50.

Four more NKSD teachers National Board certified POULSBO — Four North Kitsap School District teachers have become certified by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. They bring to 29 the number of NKSD teachers who have National Board certification. According to NKSD spokeswoman Jenn Markaryan, National Board certification is achieved through a “rigorous, performance-based, peer-reviewed assessment of a teacher’s pedagogical skills and content knowledge.” The certification process takes one to three years to complete. While licensing standards set the basic requirements to teach in a state, NBCTs demonstrate
advanced teaching knowledge, skills and practices similar to the certifications earned by experts in law and medicine. The following teachers were recognized by the North Kitsap School Board on Feb. 12. Kristy Dressler, Suquamish Elementary Dressler is in her 14th year of teaching at North Kitsap School District. She teaches fifth grade at Suquamish Elementary. Her certification is in Literacy: ReadingLanguage Arts/Early and Middle Childhood. Peggy Dunbar, North Kitsap High School Dunbar is in her 19th year of teaching at North Kitsap School District. She teaches AP Prep English 10
and AP English Language and Composition at North Kitsap High School. Dunbar’s certification is in English Language Arts/ Adolescence and Young Adulthood. Misty Hernandez, Suquamish Elementary Hernandez is in her 15th year teaching at North Kitsap School District. She teaches fifth grade at Suquamish Elementary. She earned her master’s degree in education with an emphasis on Incorporating Technology into the Curriculum. Hernandez’s certification is in Literacy: ReadingLanguage Arts/Early and Middle Childhood. See TEACHERS, Page A9

Local man charged with selling methamphetamine By RICHARD D. OXLEY
roxley@northkitsapherald.com
POULSBO — An alleged meth dealer has been arrested after police conducted controlled purchases of the drug at a home near Keyport. David William Seelow, 56, of Poulsbo has been charged in Kitsap County District Court with two counts of delivery of methamphetamine and one count of possession of a controlled substance. Seelow was arrested during a search of his home on Feb. 5, outside the borders of the City of Poulsbo, and just outside of Keyport, according to a report from the West Sound Narcotics Enforcement Team. It is the second time within a year that Seelow has been charged with such a crime. He also faces another count of delivery of meth for an alleged incident in May 2014. The May investigation was conducted by the Bremerton Special Operations Group — a joint-force investigative unit — which allegedly performed two controlled purchases of meth at Seelow’s residence, taking in .9 gram and 1.2 grams of meth. Seelow was charged in August 2014 as a result of the May investigation, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. It wasn’t until Jan. 20 that Seelow was arrested on the warrant. By

that time, detectives with the West Sound Narcotics Enforcement Team were conducting another investigation into Seelow, with even more controlled purchases of meth using a police operative. Before Seelow’s arrest on Jan. 20, the team had completed two controlled purchases of meth using the operative; one on Nov. 10 that produced 15 grams of meth, and another on Jan. 13 that produced two bags of meth weighing 15.6 grams and .7 grams. Seelow paid his bail after the Jan. 20 arrest and returned to his residence, where the narcotics team conducted another controlled purchase of meth on Jan. 26 that produced 7.6 grams, according to a report. The operative told officers that at each purchase, Seelow accessed large quantities of meth, measured it out, and sold it to them, according to the report. The drug was allegedly bought using recorded cash, and the purchased substances later tested positive for meth after being handed over to detectives. A shotgun, rifle and crossbow were within reach of Seelow during the controlled purchases, according to the report. The operative allegedly told officers that Seelow kept firearms around his home
and often had friends hide them for him. The operative also said Seelow hides money and meth around his property to avoid being detected by police. After obtaining a search warrant for Seelow’s residence, detectives with the West Sound Narcotics Enforcement Team searched his home and arrested him. Meth was discovered, but not in the larger quantities that previous purchases produced. Two broken pipes used for smoking meth were found, along with a small container that had meth residue inside. Also found were two small baggies, each containing .8 gram and 2 grams of meth. Seelow told detectives that he does not sell meth but does regularly use it, according to the report. Officers were called to Seelow’s address in April 2014 for a report of a robbery. The residents of the home alleged that two men broke in, held them at gun point, and stole hundreds of dollars from Seelow. According to a police report, Seelow and other witnesses accused two men of the crime after searching through their friends on Facebook. The two men were arrested and charged with the crime, but the two men were found to have verifiable alibis and the robbery charges were dropped.

most frequented spots with a lot of vehicles,” said Steffani Lillie, service and capital development director with Kitsap Transit. “That’s what we were looking at — how we could reduce traffic congestion by getting people out of cars and onto the bus and still be able to get to all the places they need to go, like to a shop or to a medical center.” The bus completes the loop, roughly, every 30 minutes. Its schedule runs Monday through Friday from 7:25 a.m. to 7:50 p.m., and a special Saturday schedule from 10:25 a.m. to 4:50 p.m. The bus is free for now, but Kitsap Transit officials anticipate that a normal fare could be implemented in the future to support the route. The route loops around Poulsbo’s inner core, mainly stopping at the Poulsbo transfer center on Highway 305 near Lincoln Road, Front Street and Jensen Way, Lindvig Way and Viking Way, Olympic College, the medical center off of Bond Road, and then back to the transfer center. The bus also makes other stops along that route. Mayor Becky Erickson spent the afternoon of Feb. 5 riding the bus and welcoming riders to the new route. For Erickson, it may be a little more than just a bus. “This was a brainchild of Mayor (Becky) Erickson,” Lillie said. “She wanted better service connecting downtown and the College

The product is the new route 44, which also connects some of Poulsbo’s most celebrated resources. “Connecting Olympic College to downtown is very important,” Lillie said. “We have an education center and we want people who live downtown to be able to get to the college.”

Clark also ranked third in field goal percentage, at 49 percent; fourth in scoring; 13th in blocks, and 13th in steals. “Her stats would have been way higher, but she blew her ACL in the game against Bainbridge Island [on Jan. 27],” coach Gail Wicklein said. Clark graduates in June. She will play next season for University of Puget Sound. “She is a phenomenal kid,” Wicklein said. “She has a great presence on the court. She’s a natural leader. She leads by example and has a great work ethic.” Wicklein remembered a time when she challenged her team to run a 16 in one minute. If one player could do it, they wouldn’t have to run anymore, she said. “She was the only one who did it. Others could have done it, but they didn’t push themselves.

The Vikings defeated the Fife Trojans 53-48 at Wilson High School on Feb. 18 in the West Central District 2A tournament, and play River Ridge for fifth or sixth seed in the state tournament on Feb. 21, 1 p.m., at Curtis High School. The Vikings will play in the first round of the state tournament on either Feb. 27 or 28 at a regional site. If they lose, their run is over.

The Agate Pass Bridge is being cleaned for the first time since 1991. Daily, crews are removing truck loads of debris, WSDOT reports.
Washington state Department of Transportation
Three loads of muck removed from bridge AGATE PASSAGE — Cleaning of the Agate Pass Bridge was expected to be completed on Feb. 18. But the work was not over. “Then, we’ll move into the next phase of work, removing as much rust as we can and also doing various maintenance tasks,” said Claudia Bingham Baker, spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation. In the two weeks that the bridge was cleaned, WSDOT hauled away several trailer loads of dirt and muck that was removed from the bridge. Most of the debris consisted of dirt that blew in or dropped from vehicles, and bird droppings. It was the first cleaning of the bridge since 1991. Baker said the trailer loads were taken to a maintenance pit owned by WSDOT near State Route 3, and dumped there. “They are bringing out
... dirt every day,” Baker said in an earlier interview. “It’s all caught in the frame below the bridge deck. There are a lot of I-beams and things that can collect debris. That bridge hasn’t been cleaned since 1991, so it has had a lot of time to build up.” Baker did not know how workers would capture rust to keep it from falling into the marine environment. A WSDOT engineer did not return the Herald’s request for information by deadline. Next: On Feb. 23, engineers will examine the sixdecade-old bridge for structural integrity. The project is on schedule and is expected to be completed by Feb. 28, Baker said. Travel has been reduced to single-lane, alternating traffic since work began Feb. 9. The bridge is single lane from 8:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 7:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The bridge — relied upon by commuters traveling to and from Bainbridge Island ferry terminal — has experienced a reduction of 15 percent in traffic volume during the cleaning, Baker said. Baker speculated that commuters could be going to other ferry terminals. And, “there are quite a few discretionary trips people take for things, like grocery shopping. It is possible that people are taking less of those,” Baker said in an earlier interview. Traffic delays during the work have ranged 5-20 minutes. “We continue to encourage people to avoid driving across the bridge if they can,” Baker said. Agate Pass Bridge was built in 1950 and replaced car ferry service dating from the 1920s. It is 1,229 feet long and is 75 feet above the water. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Getting organized for Tax Day All that money stress and the niggling taxfiling headache that goes with it will culminate this year on Tuesday, April 15 — Tax Day. Some of us are crossing our fingers that our math is right and we’ll receive the refund we think is due, while others are scrambling to round up the cash we owe. Either way, the nerve-racking job of preparing a tax return can be a bit more fluid with a bit of organization well in advance of the deadline. If you didn’t receive a W-2 form from every employer you had during 2012, make sure you track them down now. It is the essential piece of information the IRS needs in order to calculate everything else related to your income. The same goes for the selfemployed: track down your 1099-MISC

forms so you can report your gross earnings. Don’t leave the sorting of your expense receipts until the last minute; independent contractors should set up a filing system that lets them classify receipts as they come in. Try keeping a small accordion folder on your desk, in your purse, or in your car, so that you can tuck away receipts in an organized way. If you have spent time abroad in the last year, keep these tax-related points in mind: if you ever accrue more than $10,000 in offshore bank accounts at any time during the year, you have to notify the IRS; and service members and civilians serving in U.S. Armed Forces combat zones or in direct support of activities in combat zones are eligible for deadline extensions.

Harrison, Regence: New reimbursement agreement SEATTLE — Harrison Medical Center and Regence BlueShield agreed on a new contract regarding reimbursements on Feb. 13, the companies announced that day. The agreement brings Harrison in network, meaning Regence members have access to all health care services at Harrison Medical Center and Harrison HealthPartners at in-network rates. Regence BlueShield and
Harrison Medical Center were without a contract since Aug. 22, which meant Regence members paid higher out-of-pocket costs for non-emergency services at Harrison. To stay in-network, Regence customers traveled to hospitals out of Kitsap, such as St. Anthony Hospital in Gig Harbor or St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma. Those hospitals, like Harrison, are affiliated with CHI Franciscan
Health. However, Harrison began a discount program for Regence members during the contract negotiations to help with costs that rose due to out-of-network status. The discount program continued until Feb. 14. The new agreement became effective Feb. 15. Terms were not disclosed. “We are extremely pleased that we have been able to come to an
POULSBO VILLAGE NORTH KITSAP ’S SHOPPING CENTER
agreement with Regence BlueShield on a new contract,” Harrison president David Schultz said in a joint announcement. “This contract affords our patients continued access to all the providers and services Harrison Medical Center has to offer and at the same time provides for the continued financial success of both organizations.” Don Antonucci, president of Regence BlueShield, said in the announcement, “Today’s agreement with CHI Franciscan Health ensures that Regence members will have access
and choice as they seek quality care at an affordable price for themselves and their families.” Harrison Medical Center serves residents of Kitsap, North Mason, Clallam and Jefferson counties. Harrison affiliated with CHI Franciscan Health in 2013, joining one of Puget Sound’s largest health care systems. Regence and affiliated companies employ nearly 1,800 Washingtonians across the state. Regence reported that it and its Washington employees contributed more than
$734,000 to nonprofits in its communities in 2014. During the break in contract, Harrison said Regence “refused to negotiate in good faith” and “offered a decrease from our current level of reimbursement for our medical services, which is fiscally unsustainable long term.” Regence said Harrison was “unwilling to accept a fair and reasonable rate increase,” and that Harrison’s demands “would substantially raise costs for not only our members, but all residents of Kitsap County.”

They celebrated their diamond anniversary on Jan. 21. That diamond was forged by raising two sons, and sticking together through good times and bad. The Vestmans now have 10 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Both are retired. Janet had a career in office work and Tord worked in construction. It all began when they met in California in 1954. “I was a shipwrecked See MarrIaGe, Page 3

Continued from page 2 seaman,” Tord said, noting that he’d come from Sweden on freighters and ended up in California. He left home at 17 and after being at sea for months found his way to the Norwegian Seamen’s Church in San Pedro, California. Janet had a good job as a clerk typist for the California Department of Airports. She was independent, had her own car and was beginning to set up household. She’d come to the church that day to play ping pong with a friend. Tord spotted her right away. “She was kind of bashful,” Tord said. “That’s what attracted to me her in the first place.” Janet noticed him looking at her and told her friend it was time for them to change ends of the ping pong table. “My friend said, ‘You don’t change ends in ping pong,’ ” Janet said. “I told her this guy was staring at me and we needed to change ends.” Eventually, Tord broke the ice and they began talking. “Once I found out she had a good job and a car and already owned her own bedroom set, I said, ‘I gotta marry this woman.’ ” They married on Jan. 21, 1955, in a small ceremony in Monterey, the day before Tord shipped
out with the U.S. Navy. A friend who was supposed to take pictures never showed and because Tord left the next day, Janet spent that day — her honeymoon — touring the area with another of Tord’s friends. “I said, ‘I want to see what I was supposed to see,’ ” Janet said. “I wanted to see the sights.” Their first years took them to Germany where Tord was stationed and where Janet caught up with him. They traveled through Europe and in August 1956, they were back in New York where Tord “mustered out” of the Navy and they flew back to California. They bought their first house in Torrance for $11,200 and began life with one son, Gary, who was born in Germany. “The payments were $57 a month and I thought, ‘What have we done?’ ” he said. “That was a lot in those days.” Tord went into the electrician trade and found work building homes. A second son, Kurt, was born in 1960. By 1967, there was a building moratorium in place in California and work dried up. So Tord ask a friend who lived on Bainbridge Island, if there was work, and when he learned there was, the family moved to the island. He worked as an electrician until he retired in 1989. Janet worked 16 years at a drug store,

In retirement, they were able to keep busy by building and operating a storage business at Rolling Bay. Part of it was developed into the Municipal Court for the City of Bainbridge, and they currently live behind the business with their “adopted daughter” Sadie, a 3-year-old golden lab. Their marriage has had good times and bad times, they admit. But through it all, they’ve always kept a
sense of humor. “We laugh a lot,” Janet said. “We’ve never really ever fought about much.” Doing things together — even if it’s as simple as grocery shopping — is important, they say. And so is time apart. “She’s been so good about letting me and the boys do things like fishing and hunting when they were young,” Tord said. “She’s been just everything to me.” Likewise, Janet said she
keeps busy. “When he’d go with the boys, I’d do things I liked, like reading,” she said. “And now if he’s doing something I don’t want to do, I just take the dog for a walk.” The Vestmans say a happy marriage must include respect. “Treat each other with respect,” Janet said. “And don’t go to bed mad. Like the sign says, ‘Stay up and fight.’ ” She referred to a

They say they plan to just keep living life like they have been. “We’re just very lucky,” Tord said. “We’ve been very fortunate. We have a great family. We’ve had a great life.”

THE BOOKEND LITERARY NEWS FROM AROUND KITSAP
Kingston’s Randy Henderson starts debut novel tour in Kitsap stores BY RICHARD D. OXLEY Kitsap Week
I
n the wake of his success last year, Kingston author Randy Henderson is set to tour in support of his new novel, “Finn Fancy Necromancy.” “It’s my debut novel,” Henderson said. “It will be a first book in a (three book) series.” Henderson said “Finn Fancy Necromancy” is an adult genre novel, but is also apt for young adult readers too. First editions hit store shelves on Feb. 10. Henderson made an author appearance at the University Bookstore in Seattle for the release. Poulsbo’s Liberty Bay Books hosted him the following evening, then
Above, Randy Henderson talks about his new book “Finn Fancy Necromancy” at a book-release event at Poulsbo’s Liberty Bay Books on Feb. 11. Richard D. Oxley Bainbridge Island’s Eagle Harbor Book Co. on Feb. 12. It marks the beginning of Henderson’s book tour for “Finn Fancy Necromancy.” “I will be doing a tour
down the West Coast hitting the Portland area and several locations in California,” Henderson said. The tour will take him as far south as San
Diego. A full schedule of Henderson’s book tour, including Northwest appearances, is online at www.randy-henderson. com. Henderson’s debut novel humorously follows Finn Gramaraye, who last experienced our reality through the lens of the 1980s. The book picks up after Gramaraye returns to the modern world, quite different from how he left it. “It’s basically about a young man, who is a magic user, that is wrongly accused of a crime,” Henderson said. “In 1986, as a teenager, he is framed for a magical crime and is sent to a fairy world for 25 years, and when he returns to our world, he is framed for another crime. There’s a lot of ’80s references and jokes. It focuses on humor a lot.” Readers can also find other references from the Northwest, where the story is set. “It’s based in Port Townsend. They visit Kingston, they go to the EMP in Seattle. They visit some local landmarks, and the feel should be familiar to Northwest readers,” Henderson said. Henderson has written extensively within the science fiction realm,
which requires considerable research. “Finn Fancy Necromancy” is Henderson’s attempt as a writer to break from the research routine and have a little fun. It therefore branches more into fantasy than science fiction, and draws heavily from the Kitsap and Olympic regions. “I wanted to focus on having fun with the story, and not doing a lot of research, so I used the areas I was familiar with,” Henderson said. “And I love Port Townsend. It’s a great town and it begs to be a setting for a story with magic.” Editors at Tor Books

— a science fiction and fantasy publisher — found it fun too. They picked it up for a three-book deal. Depending on its success, however, there could be more books, beyond three. “If people like it, we will continue with the series,” Henderson said. “It’s planned as the first of three books, in a potentially ongoing series.” The novel’s release follows Henderson’s 2014 Writers of the Future award, presented by speculative fiction’s best and brightest. He was further honored with contest’s Golden Pen Award, given to the top writer of the year.

Wedding planners take care of all the details
By LESLIE KELLY
lkelly@soundpublishing.com
W
edding planners are the professionals who can make certain everything happens as it should on the big day. And that’s why they are so needed. Just ask one. “Sure, you can ask your mother or your sisters or your friends to help out,” said Rebecca Neal, a wedding planner with Ramblin’ Rose Events. “But why put that stress on them? They want to enjoy the day too.” Darla Vieyra, wedding planner with Red Door Designs, agrees. “The bride and groom should be able to just enjoy their day,” she said. “If you have a wedding planner, then you know all the details are taken care of. And on the wedding day, if there are questions, there’s somebody to go to, so the wedding party can stay relaxed.” Wedding planners offer a variety of services. Most offer “day-of” service, which can cost from $400 to $1,000. Full service begins nine to 12 months before the wedding and ranges from $1,500 to $2,600. Planners say once you get engaged, you should begin to shop for a wedding planner. “Most of the brides who come to me have found their venue and have their date,” Neal said. “What comes next is setting the budget.” Vieyra’s experience has been that engaged couples come to her and want help finding wedding professionals. “Get with a planner as soon as possible,” she said. “There’s so many details that need to be taken care of.”
Planner Darla Vieyra Both planners can help brides with venues, caterers, florists and photographers. They work with local companies and can suggest the best match based on the size of the wedding. And, when setting a budget, it’s the size that counts. “The typical cost for a smaller weddings in and around Kitsap County is $12,000,” Neal said. “The average cost, however, is more like $18,000. It all depends on how many people attend.” Planners suggest interviewing several wedding planners and deciding on who’s the best match. “Make sure it’s somebody you are comfortable with and can be honest with,” Vieyra said. Once the decision is made and the budget is set, planners generally keep in touch with the brides through email. They often meet face-to-face once a month. A planner who works with the couple pre-wedding generally helps with the selection of vendors and takes care of confirming all dates with the vendors and overseeing the contracts. They can make

suggestions of ways to save money, if needed. The planner stays in touch with the vendors throughout the process, updating them of any changes in plans. They also keep a timeline of when things need to be done, such as securing the wedding attire, selection and sending invitations and confirming the menu with the caterer. They assist with the wedding day itinerary for the couple, the wedding party, family and vendors and they review and coordinate the rehearsal and ceremony with officiates, the wedding party and vendors. On the day-of, planners assist the bridal party, distribute payments to vendors, organize and set up photos, distribute flowers, oversee the venue and decorations, provide for emergency needs and troubleshoot when needed. Many planners also help in making the decorations and planning the theme and the decor for the event. Planners say that, in general, it’s the bride that makes the call. “Generally, the only thing the groom really gets involved with much is sampling the food and cake and deciding what’s going to be served,” Neal said. And, one of the best parts of having a planner is they handle after-theceremony duties. “After the wedding and reception is over, nobody, especially the parents of the bride and groom, want
to stick around and clean up,” Neal said. “That’s part of what we do as planners.” Planners also ensure cake and meals are boxed for the wedding party to take with them and they load gifts and keepsakes into the designated cars. Vieyra said brides and grooms need to keep in good communication with their planner. “Don’t be afraid to be assertive,” Vieyra said. “It’s your wedding. I’m here to keep things calm and make sure everything is happening as you want it to.” Vieyra became a wedding planner after she planned her wedding. She was married in October 2012. She and her husband, who is in the Navy, moved from San Diego later that year to Port Orchard when he was assigned to Bangor. She has a background in interior design. “It just seemed like the perfect career for me,” she said. “I love being behind the scenes and making things happen. And I’m a crafty person.” Her goal is to make each wedding unique to the couple. “Extreme attention to detail and a cohesive overall picture is so important,” she said. “With me I’m a planner and that’s the key.” Services at her company, which she named Red Door Designs because red is her favorite color, include full service, day-of, partial service and an a la carte menu. But even the
day-of service starts about two months before the event. Vieyra likes doing outdoor weddings but will work in any venue. She has found that summer and fall are the most popular times for weddings in the Pacific Northwest. Recently, the vintage or rustic wedding decor has been the most popular. She also specializes in making stationery, invitations and signs for weddings.
“Extreme attention to detail and a cohesive overall picture is so important.” — Darla Vieyra, planner She also does other events. Find out more at www.RedDoorDesignsNW. com. Neal began her business, Ramblin’ Rose Events, after returning to the area from Colorado in 2009. Her mother had a flower business and she decided that doing events would couple nicely with that. Today, the business focuses on events for groups smaller than 100. They offer a barn and meadow for outdoor weddings and parties on five acres near Port Orchard. Neal will plan weddings at any locale, but offers up the Ramblin’ Rose Barn and Meadow for consideration. Rates range from $1,000 to $1,800. Birthday
parties, work parties and anniversaries are welcome. Besides the barn, she’s managed weddings at the Kitsap Conference Center, at Catholic churches, state parks and at Port Gamble. She even was invited along for a two-week wedding in the Bahamas. Generally, she takes on about four weddings each season, and hopes to grow her business. She and her husband and daughter live on the property as well as her mother and grandmother who help with events at Ramblin’ Rose. Her mother doesn’t do flowers anymore, but make special balloon arches for weddings and parades. She’s found barn weddings to be popular. “We’ve done them where guests sit on hay bales instead of chairs, and where the aisle is decorated with standing logs covered in flowers,” she said. “Anything rustic — either antique-like or with a country-cowboy theme fits well with the barn.” Her advice to couples is to never scrimp on the photographer. “Everything else will fade away,” she said. “You won’t remember what the food tasted like, or what the cake looked like,” she said. “But the photos will be with you forever. They are the only thing that truly lasts forever.” For more information, go to www.ramblinrevents. com, or email Neal at Ramblin-rose@hotmail. com.

For the brides, it’s all about the wedding dress By LESLIE KELLY

ith many years of experience behind her, Lynanne White is ready for another season of weddings. She plays an important part. She dresses brides. White is the owner of American Rose Bridal in Poulsbo. The store offers a wide range of bridal gown styles and sizes and has everything needed to dress bridesmaids, grooms and groomsmen, mothers of the couple, and any children who have parts in the ceremony. This year White anticipates the more simple, elegant styles to be popular. “It’s not so much the poofy ball gowns that brides are wanting,” White said. “They are going for the fitted, mermaid-style gowns, with lace and keyhole, or open low backs that are jeweled.” As for color, brides are opting for neutrals, ivory, creams, beige and champagne, not pure white.

Lynanne White, owner of American Rose Bridal in Poulsbo. “A lot of brides come in here thinking they want white,” she said. “But not a lot of people look good in pure white. Once they try it on, they realize that.” That also goes for styles. “Sometimes, brides have seen a dress in a magazine that they like and they come in here to try on one like it,” she said. “But once they get it on, they can see that it’s not the style for them.” Bridal gowns in her shop range in price from
$200 to $1,000. Most her brides aren’t shopping for a designer-named dress as they are looking for a particular style. She said the English Downton Abbey-style dress isn’t something that she’s finding to be popular, mostly because of the cost. “Weddings around here aren’t usually the $30,000 wedding,” she said. “Those dresses can be upward of $10,000.” She did have a dress similar to what Princess

to sell and after a few years I decided having a retail location made more sense.” She can alter a dress as a bride desires and she often will work with a bride to change aspects of a dress that the bride wants to appear a bit different than it does store made. Some brides come in to buy a year in advance, while others are more spur-of-the-moment. “I had a bride come in on a Wednesday night to find a dress,” she said. “She was getting married on Friday.” That happens most often when one or the other -— bride or groom — are in the Navy and shipping out unexpectedly. She hasn’t had to deal with many “Bridezillas.” But she’s seen some “Momzillas.” “Brides come in knowing what they want,” she said. “But their moms sometimes have a different idea. That’s when the problems come about.” She suggests not to bring a lot of people with you when you come to try on dresses. “Just bring one or two people who you really trust,” she said. “Otherwise it can get too confusing with too many opinions.” It’s common nowadays, too, for brides to take “selfies” in front of the mirror as they try on dresses and then go home to think about what dress they’ll buy. “Sometimes they’ll send pictures out to people who live out of the area and ask for advice,” White said. “That’s particularly the case when trying to decide bridesmaids’ dress styles.” White also warns against buying a wedding dress

online. “People like to shop online,” she said. “But they’ll bring the dress in here and tell me it doesn’t look like it did online and it doesn’t fit. Many times the dress shown online is a designer dress and what they get in the mail is a cheaper version.” Those brides often start all over and decide on another dress from her shop. “We’re here to fix their mistakes,” she said. About half her business is for weddings. She also outfits women and men for military balls, chamber galas, cruises, proms and other formal events. For more go to www. americanrosebridal.com, or go to 19045 Highway 305, Suite 160, Poulsbo. Call her at 360-697-9100. American Rose Bridal is outfitting the models during the fashion shows at the Kitsap Wedding Expo. There will be two shows on Saturday.
The vintage option Many brides are opting for the vintage look. And the Meli-Melo Island Vintage Boutique is a great place to look for vintage wedding dresses. Karen Mar has been a collector of vintage fashions all her life. It was only after moving to Bainbridge Island with her husband four years ago that she decided she had to share her collection with others. That’s what prompted her to open Meli-Melo, a French term that means “a little bit of everything,” in downtown Bainbridge. The boutique includes nine venSEE ATTIRE, NEXT PAGE

Kate Middleton wore, but even it didn’t sell. “People came in and when they saw it they’d say. ‘Oh, that’s Kate’s dress,’ ” White said. “But they didn’t want to wear it.” For bridesmaids, soft pinks and blush seems popular this year. The bright colors aren’t so popular as they have been, White said. In recent years, brides will pick a color that they want for the bridesmaids’ dresses and then have the women wear a dress that fits their body type. “Gone are the days where the bridesmaids all wear the same style dress,” she said. “Brides realize that the bridesmaids want to look good in what they have on.” Other trends include unusual footwear. “I don’t sell many shoes anymore,” she said. “Brides and bridesmaids are wearing Converse tennis shoes or cowboy boots. That’s one of the ways they are personalizing their weddings.” She does outfit grooms, too, and has a full range of rental tuxes. Black remains the most popular. “Shades of gray, sand and silver are used as well as navy,” she added. Long tails aren’t common, and she’s only seen them worn once by the groom in a couple who was from England. She dresses about 100 brides a year and has had the shop for 10 years. Prior to that, she worked from her home hand-making wedding gowns. “I found it less expensive to buy gowns, especially when you consider the hours spend in doing fine hand-beading,” she said. “I use to pack up dresses and go to these shows

Some brides prefer to create their own invitations By LESLIE KELLY
lkelly@soundpublishing.com
Wedding invitations are just about as different as are brides and grooms. Just ask Stephanie Hughes. “There is no normal anymore,” Hughes said. “Brides and grooms are free to create and use any invitation they want.” And to facilitate that, Hughes puts her graphic design talents to work with custom papers she has in store at her business, Paper Quirks. Once a date is chosen, and a location set, brides and grooms come to her and start talking. “They tell me what they’re thinking and we
take a look at what other couples have done,” she said. “If they can explain (the concept) to me, I can make it.” Papers can be solid colors, metallic and prints. The “chalk board” look is popular and colors that are trendy are corals, shades of gray and blue and muted color. “Bright colors aren’t being used that much anymore,” she said. “And thank goodness the Tiffany blue phase is over.” Many couples are opting to include their photograph on the invitation, and the simple single fold invitation is rarely used. Tri-folds, or invitations that open like a package are in. Graphics
and typography is the focus. As for what’s said on the invitation, it’s a lot more informal, she said. “The names of the parents aren’t used that often anymore, unless it’s young brides who want to show respect to their parents who are paying for the wedding,” Hughes said. “Most couples are using wording that means something to them.” On average, invitations cost from $1.50 to $2.25 per person. Save-the-date cards are popular, especially for couples who are planning their weddings in advance. Often couples will use postcards. “One couple I worked with used 12 small tiles

nine vendors who show vintage items, home decor (including some antique and shabby chic furniture), handmade jewelry and gifts. “It was always a dream of mine to open a vintage store,” Mar said. “It just seemed like the time was right.” Mar has designed custom bridal veils selling them online and directly to customers through bridal salons since 1995. Meli-Melo has a booth dedicated to wedding attire with vintage gowns and Mar’s handmade veils. She even stocks some more up-to-date bridal fashions which she gets from bridal salons. But nothing in that booth is more than $499. “My passion for vintage clothing, especially wedding attire, is because vintage looks classy and timeless,” she said. “And people who want vintage appreciate that they are using something that has a history. It makes them feel good to wear

comes to wedding fashion, others think wearing a repurposed gown is great, a statement about giving new life to once-used things. In most cases, with vin-
on their card with photos of things that told their story,” she said. “They had a picture of their Airstream travel-trailer, their hairless cat and a football team that meant something to them. Then they just listed the date at the bottom of the card.” A bundle of 150 cards cost them $103. Hughes will also design invitations and put them on discs to be printed elsewhere, if the couple wants. “I know some couples are on tight budgets,” she said. “We work on getting something that looks really wonderful and then it will print on a lesser quality paper nicely.” While Hughes will do
all the work for the bride, some brides like to make their own invitations. Hughes has a classroom in the back of her store where the bride and friends can do that if they want. “Things seem to be more relaxed and not so fancy anymore,” she said. “It usually follows what the economy is doing.” Hughes also paints personalized wood signs for use at weddings and receptions using the chalk paint process. Hughes and her husband, Nate, moved to the Poulsbo area from Utah about four years ago. She grew up in the area and wanted to return to be near family. Her husband
is a software developer and works for Disney in Seattle. They have a son, 5, and a daughter who is in college. After making invitations and paper wedding flowers and selling them online, Hughes decided to open a retail store last November. The store is at 18657 Highway 305, Suite 7, in Poulsbo. She stocks supplies for paper crafts including scrapbook paper, chalk paint, signs, some small painted furniture, and an array of crafty items such as pendants and magnets made from bottle caps. To schedule a time to create a personal wedding invitation, call her at 206858-3191.
tage gowns, brides opt for a cream, ivory, or antique white. “Mormon brides are the only ones that say they have to have pure white gowns,” Mar said. “Otherwise, pure white is not that popular.” Some of the vintage gowns are displayed just as they originally were made. Others have been made by Mar using vintage fabrics. Styles also include the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Her hand-beaded veils come in both short and long lengths. “Destination brides like the short veils because having a long train and transporting it can get tough,” she said. Depending on the design and length of a veil,
Mar can invest from five hours to days to complete a veil. “I sit with a veil and bead and just lose track of time,” she said. As for dress styles, young brides prefer off-theshoulder styles, she said, whereas older brides prefer to cover their shoulders and arms. Just as important are the accessories that a bride wears, and Mar has
some of those, too. Making sure that a bride’s jewelry matches the style and era is important. “We have some nice vintage pendants with pearls and gems that are just the perfect accents,” she said. Meil-Melo is located at 162 Bjune Drive SE, Bainbridge Island. Call 206 780-6700, or go to www. melimeloivb.com.

Capturing the moment is the photographer’s task By LESLIE KELLY
lkelly@soundpublishing.com
T
hey’re been to fields and farms. And churches and castles. And even to Alaska and the East Coast. That’s just a few of the places Hannah and Tyler Scholle, of Tyler and Hannah Photography in Silverdale, have been to photograph a wedding. “We love to travel,” Hannah said. “We have lots of great venues right here in Kitsap County. But we’ve had friends ask us along on their destination weddings to Alaska, the East Coast and the Midwest. The married couple began their wedding photography business about three years ago. They both come from families that made photography important as they were growing up. “Tyler’s father is a nature and wildlife photographer,” Hannah said. “And both my parents have had an interest in photography since they were young and did it in 4H. Tyler started out in real estate photography and he began pho-

I was helping him with that and eventually we just decided to make it our full time business.” While they’ve been working out of their home, they are in the process of opening a studio in the Old Town district in Silverdale. Weddings make up 80 percent of their business, but they also photograph babies, families and do senior portraits. “We’re really trying to focus on weddings,” she said. “We do about 20 to 30 a year.”
In fact, their August is already booked. She suggests that brides and grooms begin looking for a photographer as soon as they set their wedding date. Some summer weekends book a year in advance. August and September are the busiest months in this area, Scholle said. Venues are up to the bride and groom, she said, but she and her husband like to shoot outdoors. “Nothing’s better than natural light,” she said. “Often, we’ll take the bride
and groom outdoors to shoot portraits, even after they’ve had an indoor church wedding.” Rain doesn’t even ruin outdoor weddings. “We can work with that,” she said. “We can make the rain drops look almost like glitter.” One of the most unusual weddings they’ve had was in Thornewood Castle in Tacoma. “Everything was very elegant,” she said. “The dresses were big ballroom styles. And the high ceilings gave a unique look in the photos.” They’ve done quite a few weddings at Red Cedar Farm in Poulsbo. “Weddings there are simple,” she said. “They’re really relaxed and rustic.” The average wedding photography runs from $3,100 to $4,500, but includes meeting with the bride and groom throughout the planning stages. It also includes actual photographs. “With some photographers, they’ll shoot the wedding and then just
hand over a disc or a thumb drive,” she said. “We like to present the whole story in an album.” They also download some photos taken during the wedding and show them on a large screen during the reception. And they can help couples with wall art —large photos on fabric that couples like to have to show in their homes. Two popular things that brides and grooms are opting for lately are “firstlook” photos and “dayafter” photo shoots. First look photos are the shot of the bride and groom when they first see each other on their wedding day, Scholle said. They also do that with brides and fathers of the brides. Day after photo shoots are not usually done on the day after the wedding, Scholle said, but more like a few weeks later. “The bride and groom get dressed again in their wedding attire and we take them to locales to shoot that they didn’t have time
to do on their actual wedding day,” she said. “Sometimes it’s Snoqualmie Pass, or with the Seattle skyline in the background, or somewhere that’s special to the couple,” she said. “Sunsets also are popular, if we weren’t able to do that on their wedding day.” Couples still like to have formal family shots too. “We do just what the bride and groom wants,” she said. “Usually it’s the moms who want to make sure there are some of the traditional shots.” The most important thing in selecting a wedding photographer is to look at their work. “Study their portfolio,” Scholle said. “And ask to see more if you’re not sure. Make sure the photographer is someone who will shoot what you want. And meet with them in person to know that you are comfortable with them.” Because, as she’ll tell you, the photos of your wedding are the one thing that will last forever.

It’s the traditional photo booth meets social media. It’s called the Viral Booth. And there’s a company in Silverdale that can bring the Viral Booth right to your location — even your wedding reception. According to Mindy McKeever and her husband, David, owners of Viral Booth CRV, the Viral Booth takes the traditional photo booth to the next level. “Our booth lets your guests take pictures and videos, and then share the celebration or special event instantly with the world through Facebook, Twitter and other social media,” she said. “And, of course, print the photos as well.”
Added in are lots of fun props for guests to dress in and hold. And there’s the option of specialty themed props to match the theme of your wedding. “We create a customized logo for each event to be printed on the bottom of the photo strips,” she said. McKeever said Viral Booth CRV was established in 2012 by Stefani and Noah Veth. McKeever said Viral Booth is not a “franchise.” “We are basically a independent contractor, with Viral Booth proprietary software — meaning, they host the main Viral Booth website and handle any technical issues and updates to the software,”
she said. The busiest months for the business are in the summer — wedding season. “Photo booths have become a huge hit at weddings over the past few years, and is a very competitive market,” McKeever said. “Since David and I have taken over the business, we have partaken in four weddings. We offer a variety of packages to suit every ones needs. Our package prices range from $450 to $1,325.” The couple introduced a new package this year, called the “Social Media Experience,” for $150. “Our price is about $100 below the top photobooth industry’s average,”
she said. “We understand people do have a budget and are willing to work as much as we can to suit their needs.” The standard package is two hours at $450 and the silver package is four hours at $850. Packages give guests the traditional photo-booth experience, a full-color three-picture photo strip with a client customized logo at the bottom. After the guest takes their picture, they will have the option to send their picture to Facebook, email, SMS text, Instagram and Twitter. There is no limit to the social media experience, she said. “Another feature our
booth offers is the option to record up to a 60-second video message,” she said. “And at the end of the event, we will copy all of the videos and pictures and give the flash drive to the client.” The platinum package of six hours at $1,325 offers ever ything mentioned above plus a scrapbook. “Our goal is to make sure that the client sees all of the fun that happened at their event and read the fun, silly comments their friends and family have left for them,” she said. To learn more, email Mindy at ViralBoothCRV@ gmail.com, call her at 360 447-8886, or go to www. viralboothcrv.com.

Same-sex couples have choices for their special day By LESLIE KELLY

hen Kathryn Hamm’s mother went looking for what she needed for her daughter’s same-sex commitment ceremony in 1999, she couldn’t find much. “My partner and I were planning a wedding and my mother wanted to help us,” Hamm said. “She looked all over Dallas, even at the gay bookstores, and she couldn’t find anything.” So, her mother founded TwoBrides.com and TwoGrooms.com, websites that connected same-sex partners with a directory of resources for gay brides and grooms. Eventually, those sites were joined to become GayWeddings.com, and Hamm went to work for the company based in Washington, D.C. On the site, wedding planners and individuals can find photographers, caterers, florists and venues that are open to samesex weddings. Hamm said while the number of states where same-sex marriage is legal is growing, the site also helps gay couples who are looking at commitment ceremonies. “So often, wedding professionals aren’t prepared for working with same-sex couples,” Hamm said. “It’s the little things — like referring to the couple as the brides or the grooms, rather than the bride and

Kathryn Hamm groom, and making sure the contract they sign says that. These are the kinds of things that make or break whether same-sex couples feel welcomed.” Hamm recalled a conversation she and her partner had with a venue they were looking at for their wedding in which the woman who was showing them around assumed there was a groom. “She was a lovely person and showed us around,” Hamm said. “But when we got back to her office to sign a contract, she asked us what the groom’s name was. At that point, she’d lost us as a client.” Other things that samesex friendly professionals need to consider are the images on their websites. “If gay couples don’t see themselves in those images, it’s a negative,” she said. Recently, GayWeddings. com joined services with WeddingWire.com to bring even more ser-
vices to same-sex couples. Included are several blogs where same-sex couples can get ideas for how to handle sensitive subjects. “It’s those things like whether to both walk down the aisle, and whether to kiss at the end of the service, that you can read how others handled them,” she said. “Same-sex weddings are highly personalized. Each couple has to determine what they are comfortable with.” There isn’t really anything “typical” when speaking of gay weddings. “Some couples don’t have cakes and therefore avoid the ‘cake-cutting’ drama,” she said. “Others find that’s something they want to do. The important thing is to plan what you want and know that your family and friends will support you in that.” At her own wedding, which was years before gay weddings were more commonplace, she had some nice surprises. “Many of the guests said they’d never been to a same-sex wedding,” she said. “And for some of the staff, it was their first gay wedding. But we had a couple of the servers pull us aside and tell us how much it meant to be a part of it because they were a gay couple.” Hamm said she thinks there’s a pent up demand for wedding professionals who will work with gay couples. As same-sex marriage becomes legal in more states, and possibly
a federal law passed, that will continue to grow. She noted a recent survey of wedding professionals that showed 82 percent welcomed gay couples. Of those who said, “No,” almost all said it was for religious reasons only.

Hamm’s recent book Her advice for gay couples planning a wedding? The same as with any couple. “Set a budget,” she said. “Think about your guest list and when and where you want to have your wedding. Then go from there.” And, she said, remember to work with those who you are comfortable with and those who welcome your union. “Have a good first conversation with your wedding planner or pro-
fessional,” she said. “Make sure they know what you want.” For more information, go to GayWeddings.com.

‘Going to the courthouse’ to get hitched is an option By LESLIE KELLY
lkelly@soundpublishing.com
G
etting married at the courthouse is something often seen in movies or on television. But it happens in real life too. And it happens here in Kitsap County. Although statistics aren’t kept as to the number of courthouse weddings annually, District Court Judge Marilyn Paja has officiated at many unions since she joined the bench in 1985. There are four District Court judges and they take turns performing the ceremonies, unless a couple asks for a specific judge. All courthouse weddings are performed after hours or on the weekends, Paja said. Other than the cost of a marriage license, the couple is asked to pay an honorarium to the judge that performs the service. She said couples who want courthouse weddings generally call the District
Court and reserve a specific time. There isn’t any “average” courthouse wedding, Paja said. “We speak to them individually so that we understand what they are wanting,” Paja said. “We work very hard to make sure that each ceremony is unique to the couple and is just what they want.” For example, she said, some don’t exchange vows. Others have special words they want to say to each other. And each judge has their own wording that they like to use. Most couples bring flowers or bouquets and have a photographer. Styles range from very formal to very informal. “We see people dressed casual,” she said. “Some are even in shorts in the summer. We’ve had folks in their Seahawks jerseys. We have some in military dress uniforms and the brides are in traditional
wedding gowns. There’s also long dresses and tuxes and some couples will dress in the costumes of their native country if they’re not from here.” The bride and groom must bring their own witnesses. “Unlike in the movies, we don’t provide that,” Paja said. Couples of all ages have courthouse weddings, she said. Valentine’s Day is popular as well as “odd dates,” like 12-13-14. “Weddings are very personal,” Paja said. “We just do the best we can to make them a happy and memorable occasion.” For marriage requirements, fees, waiting period and scheduling, call District Court, 360-3377033.
