John, how great that some action has taken place against GHACC, I wonder tho if Steve Bauer is included in this suit. He should be. I checked the road construction schedule for 2008 and Hood Canal was not on there. I tried to access the info about the suit filed and couldn't get it. I'm a friend of beep 4 bumps, virus problems have caused me to completely change my email. Please add me to your mailing list when you have time. My whole tribe supports this effort.

What is wrong with you people? The road of life is full of bumps, get over it! I don't enjoy the bumps anymore than the next guy but come up with an alternate solution and stop complaining. I have read your website and have never seen such a well presented stream of manure in my life. The 3rd Reich would have been envious of your ability to contort the facts and disseminate the amount of ill will you have created. I attended the meeting as a neutral party but after witnessing the embarasssing way in which you conduct yourselves in a public forum there is no way in hell I would align myself with the likes of you, even if the bumps required a step ladder to get over. My fervent wish is that someone who beeps for bumps in our quiet town, beeps once too often and gets lead poisoning. Crawl back under the rock you came from. No please don't; find one a long way from Hansville and crawl under that. I hope it falls on you. Lets see if you have the balls to put this on your toxic website.

I love it. This is a great idea. I have been trying to think of something to do about those damn things. I think they also ruin a cars shocks. Thanks and keep up the great site.

I haven't heard anything about the 4/23 meeting. I attended and thought it was ridiculous that we had to sit through all of Bauer's repeticious material as to why we need those speed bumps. By the time he and all his cronies were done and he actually ALLOWED us to speak, on his terms no less, we were all hot and tired and worn out not to mention bored. I stayed until about 10 pm and then had to leave. Now I think we should be able to put on a slide show and have people talk as to why we should not have the bumps. Also, is anyone running against Bauer? Thanks, Kate

Below is a letter to the editor I sent to the NK Herald I sent Thursday 4/24. It wasn't in Saturday's paper: To the Editor, I had the unique pleasure of attending last nightâ??s community meeting in Hansville presided over by Commissioner Bauer concerning the traffic calming devices installed last year. What a donnybrook it turned out to be! American democracy in action! People from all walks meeting with their representative, their county Sheriff, and fire officials. A replay of the presentation given last year, which many of us missed for some reason or other, was given, also, the impact of the traffic calming devices on speeders driving on Hansville roads. Even Sheriff Boyer had his moment to discuss the speed tables. And, according to what I heard from him, apparently they not only slow down speeders, they also help in cutting down on methamphetamine traffic, breaking and entering, and are even contributing to the war on terror! Honest! He did mention 9/11! At a local meeting on speed bumps! With all the stats given, I am now confident that speeding has slowed in Hansville. Mission accomplished! But, when asked for statistics about automobile accidents and property damage due to speeding having been reduced, Commissioner Bauer looked a little lost, until a resident came to his rescue. She lives on Cliffside Drive and she has pulled out fewer errant drivers from a ditch near her house since they were installed. A telling statistic, donâ??t you agree?

After attending the meeting at Buck Lake last week, I could not help but ponder something that was said (among many other things) that the speed tables in down town Hansville were 3 inches high and the ones on Hood Canal Drive were 4 inches high. Why is it that the Hood Canal ones are so much higher??? I have noticed they were harder to maintain the speed limit on--in fact, impossible, where the ones in Hansville were a bit easier. Today we took a side trip on Bridgeview and those were easier to maneuver. So, why is it that the tables on Hood Canal are so much higher and more damaging to cars and people's attitudes?????

Chris, Sorry but I have no intention of censoring the website on your behalf. Hugh Tucker interviewed Chief Nichols WITH A WITNESS PRESENT and reported what Mr. Nichols said to him -- simple as that. I know you probably didn't want it reported. If you want to accuse Chief Nichols or Hugh Tucker of lying, you'll have to take it up with them. Frankly, your email to the county's public works department says almost the same thing. You can see it at: http://beep4bumps.com/uploads/endresenemailtoPWdir.pdf It's interesting that you've been completely silent on this whole Hansville mess (that you were largely responsible for) and all you can do is point fingers and accuse people of lying? Pretty pathetic. I had been a supporter of Maria Cantwell but I think she exercised very poor judgment in hiring you in light of how badly you violated the public trust here in Hansville. And then you leave us with Steve Bauer, a former Bellevue city manager with a very, very checkered past. I'm not sure which is more offensive to the area. I have to ask you... did you enjoy casting your vote to install speed bumps here and to install GHAAC as our phony Hansville government and then get Bauer appointed and then conveniently walk away. And by the way, are those your parents or what on Twin Spits Road? People told me Kitsap County government was bad but I had NOOOoooo idea! Yikes! -- John Hostvedt
