    Contrary to the Interlocal Agreement under which Kitsap County agreed to join the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), and contrary to earlier policy drafts, PSRC has now made environmental concerns — real or imagined — the cornerstone of Vision 2040, the organization’s operating manifesto.

    It was from the comfort of my front porch — where I sat in the sun, treasured library book in hand, iced coffee within reach — that I observed our rescued pet cat do the very thing I hate most: hunt. Although he spends the great majority of his life inside, the sun was so warm it beckoned even him away from his resting place on the back of a couch and over to the door, where he meowed and pawed at the screen until I finally gave in and let him out.

    Sustainment of the constitutional right of individuals to keep and bear arms got all the publicity last week, but there was another court decision on an equally controversial subject that affects every one of us. It wasn’t from the Supremes, but the federal appeals court in the District of Columbia which turned down a petition from 17 states, including Washington, asking for a decision from the Bush Administration within 60 days on whether greenhouse gases and global warming are a threat to public health and welfare.

    Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.
    This is certainly the case with how the financials have played out after the Olhava shopping area was developed in 2006.
    When discussions of what businesses should go where began nary a decade ago, warning bells rang fast and furious in the air. The fear was that the Olhava site would welcome corporate chains to Poulsbo, thus taking away from the warm, inviting Nordic atmosphere the city’s residents have come to adore.
    As it turns out, most corporate chains have reputations that precede them.

    By Val Torrens • July 4, 2008 4:52 pm

    Attending information-gathering meetings can be very educational. It can tell a lot about the organization seeking the input. Sometimes the agenda is very clear and the information sought is to determine which way to go. Other times, the agenda is stated but what is not brought up says more about what is really going on. The latter is the kind people have learned to distrust and with good reason – they are aimed at getting the answer the group asking for the input wants.
    It is the latter type that I experienced when I went to the Bainbridge meeting that Washington State Ferries (WSF) recently held.
