Val Torrens’ diatribe against the Building Industry Association of Washington demonstrates a disappointing lack of journalistic skills and integrity. Even those writing “opinion” columns for newspapers typically try to ensure their facts are correct.
Happy with ever increasing property taxes?
Thank you to the community and my sponsors for helping send me to Akron, Ohio, to participate in the 71st All-American Soap Box Derby World Championship!
Why does electing the right person to the position of auditor of Kitsap County matter? It is a position which does not get much publicity or headlines except when something goes wrong, like four years ago in Seattle when votes were found in some very odd places.
I want to thank Bruce Danielson, a local attorney and candidate for Superior Court Judge. Earlier this year, Bruce took time to speak to a Mothers of Preschoolers group that I am part of. He gave a very informative talk about legal issues that matter to mothers. He took time to answer a lot of questions. His whole presentation was funny and easy to listen to, even while providing some really important information.
I write in response to Edward Roe’s letter in the July 19 edition of the Central Kitsap Reporter.

Having lived in Kitsap County for more than 30 years I have witnessed many changes, from land used for cow pastures to shopping malls. Having children born and seeing what really matters in life, grandchildren and their futures.

Mr. Roe is entitled to his opinion but he is not entitled to his own set of facts. Most of the global warming panic is based on the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports. These reports are based on computer climate models, and that’s the problem.

I am a stay-at-home mom who has two children with autism spectrum disorders, the older was diagnosed with Pervasive Development Disorder and the younger with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I believe they were both harmed by vaccines.
On Friday, July 11, our dog Maggie was hit by a car just off Pioneer Way and Canyon Road NW. We do not know who hit her but we are hoping that this letter reaches those who hit Maggie and nearby neighbors so that they know we are so thankful for them for trying to save her and for being there with her.
Your vote for Jeanette Dalton for Kitsap County Superior Court Judge will give citizens the most qualified person for this highly important position. We know Jeanette personally and respect her integrity and passion for the rule of law.
As one of the active campaigners for a downtown city hall, I thought it wise to tell Muriel Williams and William Lockard that I agree with them: These new cost estimates are too high. I’m convinced of the long-term economic and lifestyle benefits of a downtown city hall. However, no one on our committee intended to spend more money than previously budgeted. Two years ago, the Downtown City Hall Committee took the 10th Avenue plans to five different architects and builders, all of whom looked at the current city hall site and ran the numbers and the consensus was that we could put that same plan on the present site and it would result in a $3 million savings over the wetlands site on 10th Avenue. Well, that was then, and this is now.
Dunce hats to the Port Orchard City Council. I suppose with the mentality of, “It’s not my money,” they feel…
I am a junior officer in the U.S. military and have been trained on the issues of conflict of interest…
I write in response to the column by Adele Ferguson in the July 12 edition of the Central Kitsap Reporter.
I’ve had it. The county and other agencies and researchers keep complaining about the low oxygen level at the lower end of the Hood Canal. I have swum and fished and visited all over Puget Sound since the early 1930s. Now humans are being blamed for pollution largely by septic systems and alder tree residues washing into the canal. The nitrogen and coliform levels produced by sea mammals has never, repeat never, been made public. There are an estimated 200,000 seals and sea lions in the Puget Sound system and they are polluting everywhere.
