Around the Island KIWANIS BENEFIT
ShredFest returns April 26 The Bainbridge Island Kiwanis Club will host its seventh annual ShredFest on Saturday, April 26. The location will be the same as last year, at Columbia Bank on High School Road, across the street from Safeway. Hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is no charge, but donations will be gladly accepted. Organizers note that ShredFest comes at a convenient time, the second Saturday after Tax Day. “Bring in your old tax information and
personal paperwork in grocery bags or boxes, and Kiwanis members will unload your vehicle. The shredding truck will do the rest,” said Tom Watson, the longtime project officer for the event. “This is an excellent way to protect you from identity theft,” he added. All donations go to Kiwanis Club scholarships for high school seniors and other youth programs here on Bainbridge Island. In the last 10 years, Kiwanis has awarded more than $125,000 in scholarships. For more information, contact Tom Watson at watsonct@tasvc.com, or call 855-9174.

The Bainbridge Island Police Department may soon have its own commission made up of Bainbridge residents to review internal affairs. Over the course of the next month, the department will work with 10 community leaders, designated the Criteria Development Group, to come up with recommendations for whether or not a police commission is needed. “We owe it to the community to conduct ourselves ethically and professionally, and if we can show, by thorough and independent review that

this is how we do business, both the community and the department will benefit,” said Police Chief Matthew Hamner. The Criteria Development Group will study the implications of instituting an independent citizen board that reviews internal affairs at the department, advises the chief and city manager on key issues and assists in community outreach. The group was assembled in response to a 2013 assessment of the department which advised that internal conflict may improve with a formal police commission. Members of the advisory group are Andrea Mackin, Dennis Tierney, Eric Wood, Jeff Brien, Katherine Dunn, Kimberly Hendrickson, Linda Thurott, Rex Oliver, Robert Dashiell and Varon Mullis. The group is currently scheduled to meet four times. Meetings will not be open to the public. Recommendations will

Forum looks at health insurance The League of Women Voters of Kitsap’s next public forum is called “Health Insurance: The Complicated Issues.” It will consider many aspects of health insurance now that the sign-up phase for the Affordable Care Act has closed. The meeting will take place from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 26 at Poulsbo City Hall, 200 Moe St. NE. Topics will include networks, why costs are increasing, where to seek assistance, how Kitsap County is handling the increase in patient load due to the Affordable Care Act, what individuals and businesses need to know when buying health insurance and an overview of the single-payer approach. Panelists include Nancy Schnoor, CFO of Peninsula Community Health Services; Wendie Pond, a health care billing and coding consultant; Stephanie Kirk, an independent insurance agent and producer/broker with J.C. Madison Inc.; and Vicki Decker of the speakers bureau for Health Care for All Washington.
