The tagline for “Whip it,” a 2009 sports drama, resonated with a young Sam Diemert as they stared at a flier in an A&W for a new skater cycle in Port Orchard. Much like the movie’s main character, who whipped out their old white Barbie skates to participate in a roller derby team, Diemert found some white Barbie skates, donned a bike helmet and stepped onto the track.

This is the last weekend Kitsap County Fast Ferry passengers can take advantage of summer schedules.

One morning, as I was walking up the ramp to the Kingston-Edmonds ferry, a call for a doctor came over the public address system. In the staging area, a person had been found unresponsive in their vehicle. By the time I arrived, the individual had been removed from the car and was laying on the ground, lips blue due to low oxygen levels in their bloodstream. They were dying of hypoxia. We later learned it was the effect of an unintended overdose of an opioid medication. Unfortunately, as the ferry workers later told me, this is not an unusual occurrence. They sprang into action and together we performed CPR until the ambulance arrived. Within minutes the paramedics had administered a drug called naloxone, and the traveler rapidly revived, expected to have a full recovery.

Let’s just rip out all the trees and cover the whole county with concrete!
