    Botkin’s blunder
    Botkin’s blunder
    March 28, 2008 5:43 pm

    Former Kitsap County Commissioner Tim Botkin’s dismissal as head of the Port of Bremerton’s Sustainable Energy and Economic Development (SEED) project was a no-brainer, and not just because we think the whole idea is an expensive mistake in the first place.
    In an effort to keep the controversial project alive, Botkin last week sent out an e-mail urging supporters to put pressure on Port Commissioner Cheryl Kincer, who appears to be SEED’s swing vote on the board. Problem was, Botkin’s e-mail also implied Kincer simply didn’t understand the complexities of the issue.

    During the interim between when a column is submitted and when I read it in a paper, sometimes my perspective shifts.
    I’ll see the words in print and gasp, “Oh my. What did I say? Will they understand? This reads much more self-serving and cocky than I meant it to.”

    She spoke at a Port Orchard Chamber of Commerce luncheon the other day. She spoke for 45 minutes without notes, and she was courteous, even downright friendly to me, although I have nicked her numerous times.

    Do you know the term “Bodhisattva?”
    Lisa Maliga in Pagewise, Inc. gives a beautiful definition from Tibetan Buddhism, “Bodhisattva refers to a person motivated by compassion who seeks enlightenment not only for him/herself, but for everyone.”
    The goal of a bodhisattva, Maliga explains, is “to achieve the highest level of being — that of a Buddha.”

    Once in a while, it does a soul good to keep an eye peeled for signs that our local government officials are using common sense when considering one or another proposal.
    Change can be a wonderful thing — or not, depending on the nature of the change and the probable outcome.

    Here are some of my favorite news stories of 2007, this time not all about animals.
    • OLYMPIA — A vigilant Olympia man went to great lengths to recover his stolen 35-foot speed boat, chartering a plane to scour highways in Jefferson and Mason counties.
    His 2005 Cobalt speed boat was stolen on Aug. 7 from a repair shop.

    Most residents of South Kitsap will receive a pleasant surprise when their property tax bills arrive in the near future.
    As usual, last summer’s notices of increases in assessed values prompted cries of dismay and anger from people who assumed their tax bills would rise at the same rate as their assessed values.

    This may be an interesting year in South Kitsap for those of us who tend to watch what local government entities do.
    At the Port of Bremerton, the new commissioner, Larry Stokes, could make a noticeable difference — and it would be none too soon.

    It’s time to take the Christmas cards down and sort out the ones you want to keep, like family pictures, etc.
    I used to put all the cards we got into scrapbooks, which are interesting to look at today because of the way cards have changed.

    South Kitsap’s loss on the Board of County Commissioners could turn out to be gain in Olympia if Kitsap County Commissioner Jan Angel is successful in her just-announced bid to unseat longtime state Rep. Pat Lantz.
    From our standpoint, what Angel would bring to the race — in addition to views with which we’ve generally agreed — is a strong and viable candidate who would represent the interests of South Kitsap.

    New Port Orchard Mayor Lary Coppola, in the weeks following his election last November, considered resigning from his position as a member of the Kitsap County Planning Commission. And for the sake of appearances at least, we’re glad both he and Kitsap County Commissioner Jan Angel, who had appointed him to the board in the the first place, took the time to question whether his holding both jobs might present a conflict of interest.

    March 28, 2008 5:40 pm

    Kitsap County government has changed immeasurably over in the past decade.
    The board of commissioners has turned over completely, along with most of the senior staff and elected officials. There is a new building, and several new departments.
    But the single constant factor is the presence of Vivian Henderson at nearly all of the commissioners’ public meetings and work sessions.
