BASIC TRAINING COMPLETED
Navy seaman Laura Armstrong, a 2004 graduate of Bremerton High School, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill.
During the eight-week program, Armstrong completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis also was placed on physical fitness.
The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of honor, courage and commitment. Its distinctly “Navy” flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a sailor.
MARKET RELOCATED
Due to the construction taking place at the former plumbers building site at Evergreen Park, the Bremerton Farmers Market moved yesterday from the park’s southern parking lot to the northern main lot, where the boat trailers typically park. Hours and vendors are still the same. For more information, contact Kim Schleis, market manager, at (360) 440-5139 or visit www.bremertonmarket.com.

WATERSHED GRANTS AVAILABLE
The Kitsap County Department of Community Development recently announced the availability of a second round of the 2009 Watershed Mini–Grant Program. This year, the Watershed Mini–Grants program offered grants up to $1,500 to local groups for local environmental education, habitat restoration and monitoring projects. A total of $2,000 remains available for 2009. Smaller grant applications also are welcome up to $1,000.
To encourage groups new to watershed projects, those that have not received a Watershed Mini-Grant in the past will be given some preference. Projects should benefit a watershed (stream, wetland, lake, etc.) or Puget Sound nearshore environment in unincorporated Kitsap County.
Youth, employee and conservation organizations, neighborhood groups, fishing and service clubs, schools and businesses are encouraged to apply. Applications and information are available on the Kitsap County Web site at www.kitsapgov.com/dcd/nr/stream_team/default.htm. Applications must be received by July 1.
