For decades, it has been repeatedly claimed that the potent bacterial helicase-nuclease RecBCD (exonuclease V) destroys foreign (non-self) DNA, such as that of phages, but repairs and recombines cellular (self) DNA. While this would constitute a strong host-survival mechanism, no phage destroyed by RecBCD is ever specified in those claims. To determine which phages are destroyed by RecBCD, we searched for phage isolates that grow on Escherichia coli ΔrecBCD but not on recBCD+.

As the season sponsor of the Bremerton Westsound Symphony, I was immensely proud of their performance over the weekend at the Central Kitsap Performing Arts Center. When one considers that the orchestra and chorale members are all volunteers, it makes their performances even more outstanding!The solo pianist, Jinshil Yi, made the performance even more spectacular. She is the greatest pianist that I have ever heard.

Chris Lemke, Port OrchardKitsap SunYour most important entitlement as a U.S. citizen is to be brave, research the candidates, and exercise your right to vote!This one job may well shape the country for decades. I believe, as do most Americans, that change must take place. Too much top down instead of bottom-up governance is harming the nation. Overreaching federal mandates, regulations, and education interference is removing our freedoms. It is time for local control first.

I would like to give a huge shout out to Bremerton's Admiral Theatre Foundation and Kitsap Fair and Stampede Association for bringing to the Kitsap Fairgrounds the first annual "Kitsap Blues Music Festival." What an event!Over Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Labor Day weekend, 19 bands and individual musicians delivered amazing quality music to those lucky enough to be there.

Sue Browning, Port OrchardKitsap SunWhen I moved to Port Orchard, I asked my neighbors what our town’s nickname was. Nobody could tell me. I had thought all cities had a tagline of some sort. Port Orchard does not. I moved here from Tustin (California), the City of Trees. Many cities within Washington have nicknames. Some of our local cities … Gig Harbor is The Maritime City and Poulsbo is Little Norway. These nicknames are posted on their welcome signs when you enter their cities.

A simpler way to expand Warren Avenue Bridge and save moneyBill Slach, Port OrchardKitsap SunThe recent discussions regarding the expansion of the Warren Avenue Bridge sidewalks makes no sense to me. Why does it have to be on both sides? The Manette Bridge only has a walkway on one side. The northwest end of the bridge is not conducive to foot traffic as is what with the on-ramp joining that side. Save even more money; build it on the east side of the bridge only.

Kristine Kurey, Port OrchardKitsap SunIt’s impossible to not see all the litter and trash on our local roads. Highway 16 is the worst. I know we have local groups that volunteer once in a while to clean up and that is awesome. But it’s not enough. I see that Kitsap County has now partnered with a new group whose sole purpose is to collect stray grocery carts and return them to merchants. Kitsap County, how about stepping up and helping coordinate with WSDOT to address the litter problem, too?

Bill Slach, Port OrchardKitsap SunAfter a recent emergency, I found myself driving on Silverdale Way at 2 a.m. wondering which was the best way to the hospital. I looked for those large blue and white "H" signs hoping for a clue. Are they there and I missed them? If they aren't there, why not? Who would install them? The hospital, the county, or the state?Earlier, in December, an ambulance took a family member to the wrong door of the hospital. It was locked.
