I guess I was inspired to write this to encourage you to not just keep this as a seniors’ thing before prom. My friends weren’t seniors yet. Nor were they teens coming back from a special event such as prom or homecoming. I truly believe this is something that your entire student body should hear, see and partake in. My husband is a senior chief at the local submarine base and is strongly encouraging his sailors to attend one of the two remaining ones at the other high schools. We both strongly believe our community as a whole could benefit from quarterly staged mock crashes.
Words were right on the money.
I was dumbfounded by the arrogance of Rick Flaherty’s statement in support of naming the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge after Sen. Bob Oke (“Port board backs naming bridge for Oke,” April 12).
The Kitsap County Commissioners are elected to act on behalf of the citizens of this county. They have relegated their responsibilities to an unelected layer of quasi government, the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). Yes, they are elected and have the authority to govern for the people residing in Kitsap County. They should not give their power to PSRC.

Readers’ comments — negative or positive — on the Independent’s news coverage and editorial policies are welcome.
Since the conception of the Growth Management Act, our mini-governments have had their hands full. Citizens have to realize that the same city staff that handles your annexations also handle the aftermath.
One would think that any legislature facing a $2.4 billion deficit would cut back on spending. Not in Washington state. This year’s supplemental budget continues the spending spree begun last year.
I am stunned. I find it amazing that the leadership of our great city of Poulsbo has postponed the annexation of property located in the urban growth area again. If the urban grown areas were some new concept, sure, I would understand. That is not the case. Urban growth areas have been around for more than 14 years. They were virtually dictated to us back in the 90s by the state. The grand plan then was to locate all the new growth in and around the existing cities. Almost all the property outside of those areas was down-zoned to one unit per five acres. In some cases they were down-zoned to one unit per 20 acres.
The Filipino-American Association of Kitsap County President Pablo Lozano has again honored the Filipinos and Americans who fought the Imperial Japanese Army on Bataan. Mr. Lozano spoke of the battle for Bataan from the end of December 1941 that ended April 9, 1942. 76,000 American and Filipino soldiers with little food and ammunition, suffering from dysentery and malaria. 600 Americans and 6,000 Filipinos died from exhaustion or were murdered by the Japanese on the Death March.
I have read with great interest about the various plans Jon Rose and OPG have for Kitsap County. I believe Rose’s vision is based only on the profitability of his corporation, not the well being of the residents of Kitsap County, nor the long term economic viability of the Native Americans that depend upon the health of the environment.
See what happens when you’re not watching?
