New conditions on WSF money Settlement funds reserved for water-related use By RICHARD D. OXLEY Staff Writer

Children’s book author George Shannon and visual artist Michele Van Slyke are the recipients of the 2012 Island Treasure Award, which will be presented Feb. 25 at IslandWood. The award, conceived in 1999 and administered by the Bainbridge Island Arts and Humanities Council, honors excellence in the arts and humanities, and is presented annually to two individuals through a double-blind selection process. See story on page A10-11.
A $2 million settlement from Washington State Ferries will only be spent on water-related projects, and only with a supermajority council approval, the city council resolved this week. “Earlier this year the council passed a motion that the funds may only be used for one-time capital projects and that the money may not be used for ongoing programs, maintenance or staffing costs,” said Council Member Bob Scales. “This resolution simply memorializes the prior council motion.” The resolution affects the funds in three ways. First it creates a new reserve fund called the “Capital Improvement Opportunity
Reserve” to hold the $2 million from the WSF settlement. It also stipulates that money from the Capital Improvement Opportunity Reserve can only be used for one-time projects with a water-related use, and may not be put toward ongoing staffing, maintenance or program costs. Finally, the resolution requires a supermajority vote — a minimum of five council members — to approve the use of any funds from the Capital Improvement Opportunity Reserve. “For the last year the $2 million has been sitting in limbo,” Scales said. “It has not been placed in any specific reserve account and there is some confusion among staff and council members about how to characterize this money. I proposed that we place the money in a restricted SEE WSF FUNDS, A5
Friends of the Farms finally gets green light Nonprofit gets a 30-year lease to manage the city’s farmland. By DENNIS ANSTINE Staff Writer
It’s taken more than two years for the city and the Friends of the Farms to reach agreement on a management contract for the city’s 60 acres of farm land. The process has been lengthy and contentious at times, but early next month the nonprofit will finally start working on leases for the 12 or so individuals who make a living on that land. It will begin with the
appointment of members to a task force, which primarily will monitor the first year of the individual leases. With the exception of Akio Suyematsu, the 90-year-old whose family originally owned much of what became Day Road Farms when purchased by the city, all of the farmers working public land will be required to pay – for the first time – to farm the city property. The genesis of the 30-year lease stemmed from the city’s desire to have an entity manage the public land rather than dealing with farmers individually. Friends was a natural since it already had a fiveyear agreement with the city
to manage the Johnson and Morales farms, and a working relationship with the farmers working other city farmland. All of them supported establishing a leasing process for the land. “One, it is important for them to have a fair value placed on the land,” said Bart Berg, who chairs the Friends board. “And, more important, it gives them security to know that they can invest in the property they control. “We will be able to protect the farmers who are there, and they in turn, with longterm stability, can care for the land. They all really care about the soil they work.” SEE FARMS, A9
Willie Wenzlau/For the Review
Bart Berg, board chair of Friends of the Farms, believes the nonprofit will be able to help the city’s Day Road farms property thrive with the formation of a new 30-year lease between the two.

around the island City halts utility rate hikes, deflates water rate by 45 percent Bainbridge utility rates were either decreased, or had any scheduled increases halted this week. “We are managing to keep the (stormwater utility) rate at no increase, the sewer rate at no increase, and a reduction in the water rate,” said Council Member Barry Peters. The Utility Advisory Committee recently recommended that the city decrease water rates by 45 percent. The City Council followed suit this week by approving the rate decrease.
“That’s the major policy shift and that reflects that the city over the past three years has made extraordinary efficiencies with the water utility,” Peters said. Two scheduled rate increases — one for the sewer utility and another for the storm water utility — were waived as well. In another recommendation unrelated to the water utility, the UAC found that there would be no need for a scheduled raise to sewer rates by 19.5 percent. The storm water rate, also forwent an increase. Last year, the rates were lowered by 7.5 percent — this maintains that decrease.

Chamber hires new director Council By DENNIS ANSTINE Staff Writer
After a lengthy search, the Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce has hired a new executive director. Rex Oliver, who served as executive director of the Murrieta, Calif., Chamber of Commerce for 10 years, was introduced Wednesday evening during the chamber’s annual meeting at IslandWood. Oliver replaces interim director Frank Kenny, who took over when Kevin Dwyer, who resigned in August after leading the organization for 10 years. Howard Block, a member of the chamber’s board of directors, said there were about 50 applicants for the job, 15 of whom were inter-
viewed. Block said the search was long because the board w a n t e d Rex Oliver a new director who had experience leading a chamber. Oliver, who said he signed his contract for the new job earlier in the day, comes from a Southern California city of just over 100,000 people that has grown rapidly during the last 10 years. Murrieta, a commuter city in Riverside County, is located halfway between San Diego and Orange counties. Oliver said he is pleased to be joining a community and a chamber board that
is rededicating itself to the core mission of a chamber, which is to be “true messengers” for the community. Oliver said he believes the emphasis of an effective chamber of commerce revolves around several goals, including: networking; a good relationship between business and government; practices that help the business community grow; and building a strong, sustainable economy. “Most of all,” he said, “it will will be a team effort between the board, staff and all members of the organization in order to make Bainbridge a better place.” Oliver’s title will be president and CEO of the island’s Chamber of Commerce.

reserve fund and that the money may only be used if there are at least five votes on the Council.” Debate over what to do with the money has lingered over the past year and culminated in two public meetings last month where residents brought forth their own ideas from improving Waterfront Park to upgrading bicycle lanes. According to Council Member Debbi Lester, some community members suggested that the funds be used as seed money to help secure grants for projects, and in some cases could be paid back. This way it may be possible to have the money go further and help a larger number of projects. Since receiving public feedback, the city council has been entertaining the idea of forming a task force, or ad hoc committee, of community members that will help manage and guide the future use of the funds. “What that would do is take it out of the political realm and it would gather
www.BaInBRIDgeRevIew.com
people with backgrounds and expertise that council members may not have,” Lester said. “It becomes a more thoughtful and researched process.” The $2 million comes from a 2010 settlement between the city and the WSF over an acre of land in Eagle Harbor used for ferry maintenance. Use of the funds was originally set to be water related only, but WSF removed that restriction during settlement negotiations. “It would be great to have one or two members from (the groups who fought for the money) sit on a task force or an ad hoc committee to help guide the process,” Lester said. “We wouldn’t be here with a settlement if it weren’t for the efforts of concerned Bainbridge Island citizens who worked hard on this.” There remains a number of ideas for the money that council members would like to entertain, but any further decisions regarding WSF settlement funds, such as forming a community task force, are among a list of items to address when the new council takes over at the start of next year.

Both cSc and ethics Board filled By RICHARD D. OXLEY Staff Writer
The City Council has approved appointments to the Ethics Board as well as the Civil Service Commission, which had been left vacant since its three commissioners resigned in October. The CSC is now filled with island residents William Foster, Robert Killian, Steve Lakich, Lynda McMaken and Bruce Weiland. McMaken and Weiland are both local attorneys with experience on a number of island committees and boards. Foster works at the Seattle City Attorney’s Office and has served on the boards of the Bainbridge Island Land Trust and Bainbridge Island Childcare. Lakich’s experience is based in labor relations. Killian’s background is in law enforcement and includes his work as a civilian police officer, fraud investigator and as a former US Naval Intelligence veteran.

Thomasson comes from the corporate world working for Expeditors International of Washington.

IN OUR OPINION
Only on Bainbridge Island, where giving is contagious
T
he Review’s annual “only on Bainbridge Island” Christmas editorial centers on Greg Epstein, wife Carmen and their 4 1/2-year-old son, Jazz. They have owned and operated Bainbridge Island BBQ for nearly five years. They recently discovered Carmen has a very treatable form of breast cancer, thanks to it being identified early. Nevertheless, it’s still cancer and, well, it still represents the unknown. The Epsteins have done well with their restaurant located 100 yards off Winslow Way West, but the combination of the construction project and the usual winter decline has caused a bit of a slump. They have health insurance; still, the cost of paying for treatment is prohibitive. So, since Greg knows more than just a little bit about the island on which he was raised, he decided to do what’s become natural for him – open up and reach out. From noon to 7 p.m. this Friday, the Epsteins will throw their own benefit at the restaurant – all you can eat until the food runs out. A little odd, perhaps, holding a benefit for yourselves, but not on Bainbridge Island. “We’ve worked hard for this community. We love what we do and care about the people we serve every day,” said Greg, who met his wife when they were working as chefs at upscale restaurants in Los Angeles. They wanted a family, “so it was back to the rock,” he said. Having grown up here and having suffered his share of heartbreak, Greg knows we all need to pull together. “In a sense, society is in trouble because people wait too long to get help,” he said. “They can be sitting on the bus right next to you all screwed up and won’t say a word about it to you or anyone. Too often we are all inside ourselves and afraid, but the truth is, the person sitting next to you could be in the same mess as you. Maybe you could actually help each other.” SEE OPINION, A9

LETTERS Island farms
Private endeavors need city support as well Last week the City Council voted to provide a very generous package to Friends of the Farms for the next 30 years. Now it’s time for that same council to vote some very necessary protections for the island farmers who have the courage to invest in their own land. These protections should be in place for the same time period, 30 years. Let’s see if the council is concerned about protecting all-island farmers and not just Friends of the Farms. From my perspective, this is what the council needs to remove from the new code to protect all privately owned farmers so as not to disadvantage us with the FOF farmers: 1. Right to Farm Act guaranteed for all privately owned farms. 2. Artificially low numbers placed on organic egg-laying poultry farms removed totally – approval from the Department of Agriculture is all that is necessary. 3. Requirement to obtain approval for any exceptions through a Conditional Use Permit Hearing removed totally. 4. Fees assessed under the CUP totally removed. 5. Oversight and approval from the conservation representative or any other city representative removed. This is my challenge to the council if it wants to be successful in portraying that it supports farming on Bainbridge. Protecting the city-owned farmland farmers is inadequate; you must show support for those of us willing
to purchase our own land, invest our time, energy, talent and money into making our private food farms viable for the benefit and protection of this community. Patti Dusbabek Bainbridge organic food farmer
Boy Scouts
Heimlich Maneuver free with a Christmas tree The Boy Scouts of Troop 1565 (meets at Bethany Lutheran Church), led by Scoutmaster David Roberts, would like to sincerely thank the great community of Bainbridge Island for supporting them in their efforts to sell as many gorgeous Christmas trees as possible. The scouts have been blessed this year with hundreds of beautiful trees and the sales and donations have reached record amounts, for which we are truly thankful. The season is just starting to heat up and we have several hundred wonderful trees to offer so come get them as soon as you can. This season, Troop 1565 scouts have learned so much; salesmanship, product-knowledge, customer relations, knot-tying, and even life-saving. Nick Allen, our senior patrol leader, delivered a perfect Heimlich Maneuver to a woman who drove into the lot honking her horn, with a piece of candy lodged in her throat. Heimlich applied and out it came! Good job, Nick. We scouts have been accorded the best customers over the past years, and we can’t thank you enough for your support. If you are still hunting for that perfect Christmas tree, we have it. Come and get it. We are open until Dec. 21, though I really wouldn’t
advise waiting that long.
Bill Davis, assistant scoutmaster Troop 1565 out of Bethany Lutheran Church
Tree lighting
Volunteers, community groups pull it off again A huge holiday thank you to the volunteers and generous community groups who helped the Bainbridge Island Downtown Association and friends make the annual Holiday Open House and Community Tree Lighting happen again this year. From the 50 or more fresh wreaths generously donated by the Kiwanis Club that decorated storefronts along Winslow Way, to the fresh-cut tree that magically arrived on Madrone Lane, and the traditional horse-drawn carriage rides sponsored by Harrison Medical Center, downtown Winslow was bustling with holiday cheer. Hot cider flowed thanks to the Cook Family and bright lights twinkled overhead – compliments of PSE’s Holiday Lights sponsorship. The BHS Band and Ovation! Glee Club warmed up the crowd while Frank Buxton and Chris Soldevilla welcomed families to the annual tree lighting. Then, right on cue as the fire engine’s sirens wailed, Santa Claus made his official arrival in Winslow with the help of Fire Chief Hank Teran’s elves. Nearly an hour later as the last children left their wish lists in Santa’s Mailbox, a hush fell over the streets of our own downtown Who-ville. It was truly one of those magical moments that Dr. Seuss himself would have appreciated. Andrea Mackin, BIDA executive director

even rats will occasionally bask in holiday spirit I think I’ve been too hard on rats. In previous columns, I’ve mentioned my antipathy for rats, mice and other members of the rodentia family. I confess that, on occasion, I’ve been the precipitating factor in the early demise of a rat or two. Unlike some people who will remain nameless (Lauren Tyner), I’ve never found rats to be even remotely cute or cuddly. I’m not sure why I feel the way I do about rats. Maybe I‘ve never entirely forgiven them for their role in the spread of the bubonic plague in medieval Europe. Rats gnaw through sheetrock and will make nests in the stacks of boxes in your garage if you let them. They ransack your garbage, take up residence in your woodpile, pay no taxes, and in general display no positive or redeeming features. Wait, check that last one. It turns out rats may actually have
THE LATTE GUY By TOM TYNER a touch of humanity in them. Yes, that’s right, rats have feelings too. They may be able to show compassion, joy and altruism, which is more than you can say about many people these days. Last Friday, the Seattle Times reported on an experiment in which researchers sought to discover if one rat would release a second rat from an unpleasantly restrictive cage if it could. The answer, surprisingly to us rat haters, was yes, they would. Free rats responded to the distress calls of the trapped rats by learning to open the cages
that confined them. Even more surprisingly, having successfully freed the trapped rat, the two rats proceeded to engage in triumphant celebratory behavior, sort of the rodent equivalent of a high five or bumping chests. In this same experiment, the free rat was given a small hoard of chocolate chips. Rather than eat them all, the free rat saved a few of the chips for the trapped rat. Researchers concluded that the rats were displaying a form of empathy. This is the first time that this kind of altruistic behavior – called “pro-social behavior” by scientists – has been formally demonstrated in any animal species other than primates and liberals. Besides being unselfish and altruistic, rats have indirectly saved the lives of millions of humans. Did you know that each year in this country more than 88 million rodents are sacrificed by scientists in biomedical experimentation and testing?

Rats and mice are popular subjects for drug testing because they are small, inexpensive, breed quickly and do not vote, much like college students. Raising rats and mice for the biomedical industry is big business. But the rats may have the last laugh. It turns out that today’s lab rat is the product of generations of inbreeding. Very much unlike college students, lab rats are raised in sterile, germ-free environments where they are overfed and under-stimulated. The result is that many of today’s lab rats are hypertensive, obese, short-lived, prone to cancer, type2 diabetes and renal failure. This is not good since ragged and run down rats may not respond to experimental drugs the way healthy rodents would, thus calling into question the validity of the results of such tests. The rat scientists who conducted the empathy experiments
concluded that the desire to help others may be something that is hardwired into the mammalian brain. Helping others may be something we are biologically programmed to do, and maybe we’d all be happier if we owned up to our biological inheritance and embraced our genetic predisposition toward generosity and compassion a little bit more than we do. Well, ‘tis the season for the least among us to lead us. This year, I’ll extend my holiday wishes for peace and goodwill toward all creatures, even the lowly rat. Just don’t let me catch you in the house looking for your share of the chocolate chips. Merry Christmas. Tom Tyner is an attorney for the Trust for Public Land. He is author of “Skeletons From Our Closet,” a collection of writings on the island’s latte scene.

Friday, December 16, 2011 • Bainbridge Island Review
‘Occupy,’ Advent have their similarities ‘They call for us to renounce our harmful ways to ourselves, others.’ Sometimes doesn’t it just seem like things are coming together? Maybe that sounds odd in the face of all the gloom and doom pervading our nation and world. There certainly are good reasons for the pessimism – vast income disparity, war, environmental calamity and on and on. Still, I’m struck by the perhaps faint, but certainly persistent signs of hope I see in the strong connections between the Occupy movement and the coming of Christmas. Those of us who identify as Christian are in the midst of the Advent season. Advent, observed on the four Sundays before
INTERFAITH By JENNIFER MERRILL Christmas day, marks our waiting and preparing for the light – the light of God’s entry into our gloomy world. For many of us that means preparing to celebrate the birth of Jesus over 2,000 years ago. But it’s more than that. There are those in the Christian tradition who remind us that Advent is a time to prepare for the second coming, or the stillcontinuing arrival, of Christ into our world. How do we prepare for that? Here’s what John the Baptist advised his followers when he announced the first coming of Christ: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” That message is reinforced by Jesus himself when he begins his preach-
ing in Galilee saying the very same thing. And it’s the very same message Jesus instructs his disciples to preach after he’s gone. Advent, then, like its cousin Lent, is a time to repent. Repent: turn away from your selfish, sinful ways; turn towards God, turn towards the good. Turning towards the good, towards God, calls us to envision the “kingdom of heaven.” The kingdom of heaven: not so much about pie-inthe-sky as about the kind of world – in Jesus’ time and in ours – Jesus’ teachings and actions advocated. A world in which the downtrodden are uplifted, violence is forsaken, and all of creation flourishes. That “kingdom” sure sounds a lot like the signs and slogans coming from the Occupy camps, doesn’t it? Several of us from Eagle Harbor Congregational
Viking Bank has changed its name. And now we’re changing business banking for the better.
Church recently attended an “Occupy Seattle” forum at Plymouth United Church of Christ in downtown Seattle. We were joined by approximately 100 others from various faith traditions in the area, as well as by several of the Occupy Seattle “organizers.” In small groups, we spent the morning talking about what Occupy is, how it moves us, and what actions we can take to support the movement. The conversation there helped gel what I now see as the crux of the Occupy matter. As Muslim Sufi minister Jamal Rahman noted in my small group, Occupy is bringing to light the spiritual crisis that grips our nation and indeed our world. The crisis: greed has over-run the common good, and thus the common good suffers. While it’s convenient and sometimes appropriate to blame the 1 percent, it is
a crisis fueled by far more than 1 percent of our population. If we are honest with ourselves, we know that each and every one of us harbors the seeds of this crisis within our own duplicitous hearts: hearts that are divided between selfish greed (sin), and genuine concern for the common good (characterized by Jesus’ second commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”) As I see it, Advent and Occupy are of the same two-fold nature: they call on us to admit and renounce our harmful ways to ourselves and to others, and they call on us to envision and take action towards a future that’s good for all of creation. It’s a message that resonated more than 2,000 years ago, and it resonates still. I am heartened that so many today are hearing, and heeding, the call.

So he has reached out by letting islanders know that he and his loved ones could use a hand up. Not a hand out, just a hand up. They’ll provide the food and love, and all you have to do is give back by paying for all those carbs you eat. “The response has been overwhelming,” he said. “We just feel blessed. We know that if we were living in L.A., we’d be going through this all by ourselves.” It’s not the first time Greg has dealt with a loved one being struck by cancer. His twin brother, Andrew, died at age 31 while in his third year of medical school. “That was a hard one,” he said, “but this is different. The mood is different, lighter. And the outcome will be different, too.” So, come on down and have some ribs. And give.
Another benefit, Berg said, is that the length of the lease will place protective conservation easements on the land, which will allow the current farmers to plan for the future of the property. “The main people (Suyematsu, Karen Selvar, Gerard and Jo Ann Bentryn, Brian McWhorter and Betsey Wittick) will need to be replaced sometime during the life of the new lease, and they worry about who that will be,” Berg said. “This will give them time to nurture others,” he said. “Plus protection of the land will be critical for the new farmers since they may have few resources and will need that stability to continue growing food locally.” Some of the Day Road Farm properties are privately owned by the farmers, and the acreage worked by Suyematsu is a “life estate,”

which means it will revert back to the previous owner (the city) when he dies. It was purchased by council funds, which makes it less protected than land purchased as open space with conservation easements, Berg said. The individual annual leases will range between $80 and $350 per acre, based on USDA and local Kitsap County agricultural lease rates. Each farmer’s rent rate will be calculated by an agreed percentage rate of gross income from crop yield. Friends had initially sought a 99-year lease, but that proposal was opposed by some community and council members, and the council eventually agreed (with a 6-0 vote) on 30 years. Some islanders resented that the “public” farmers had an advantage over “private” farmers because they had been working the land without a lease for many years. “I can understand that not all of the elements of our lease appeal to every-
one,” said Berg, “I’m glad the process was vetted. We responded in writing to a lot of the concerns and had conversations about it. That was healthy and led to a better lease. There was some misinformation, and we hope some of those in dissent will be members of our task force.” The lease includes a task force that will monitor the first year of the lease, essentially “making sure there is fair play with the individual leases,” Berg said. He said the 99-year lease idea “was just a standard kind of length that a lot of nonprofits set up, but we’re happy to have it for 30 years. As long as it gives the farmers stability. That was the point.” Berg said the public-private discussion needs to be continued so that there is more public involvement. “That’s all about supporting farmland on this island whether it is public or private,” he said. “The Friends of the Farms have a strong commitment to private farm

lands … that’s part of our mission, too.” The lease also stipulated that the sublease process will be open and competitive with criteria approved by the city, giving preference based on several factors, including: commercial farming experience, growing food crops, agricultural diversity, sustainability and proximity of residence to farmland. Friends receives most of its funding (about $100,000 this past year) from donations and grants, with a fifth of it provided by the city in recent years. “We received about $20,000 this year and the same next year,” Berg said, “but that could disappear now.” Friends will receive the rent and fees paid by sublease farmers or other users of city property for “operational and management costs” to fulfill the terms of the lease.” Berg also hopes the new funding will allow Friends to hire a ful-time manager of the farmlands, which are
currently overseen primarily by Berg when he can find the time to do it. Friends will not pay any rent to the city during the life of the new lease, though there is a clause that gives the city a change in the lease. No charge, unless: “It is determined that Friends is receiving adequate income to cover the costs associated with managing the city’s agricultural lands through income such as sub-lease rent payments, user fees and other sources associated with the city’s lands, then the parties agree to negotiate in good faith the terms of monetary rent due to the city from Friends, which rent may be used by the city for any municipal purpose.”

Shannon, Van Slyke named Island Treasures By CONNIE MEARS Staff Writer
Children’s book author George Shannon noticed Cynthia Sears loitering in the hallway of The Island School where he works Mondays and Tuesdays as the school’s librarian. “We can’t have adults wandering here unless they’re accompanied by a child,” he teased “the woman who knows everyone.” To his surprise, she was there to see him. “Hold out your hand,” she said, pulling out a small velvet bag. The pin she placed in his hand landed face down, but on the back he could read the inscription: “Island Treasure.” “For once I didn’t have anything to say,” said the gregarious Shannon followed by his trademark high-spirited laugh. “They must have run out of other people.” Hardly. Bainbridge is chock-full of creative, talented people working in all mediums. He and fellow 2011 recipient Michele Van Slyke join the luminous company
of Joel Sackett, Barbara Helen Berger, David Korten, David Guterson, Ann Lovejoy and Jerry Elfendahl. The Island Treasure award was conceived in 1999 to honor excellence in the arts and or humanities and is presented annually to two individuals nominated and selected by a double-blind jury process. (See sidebar below.) A little less contentious than 12 Angry Men.
Champagne? When Sears paid a visit to artist Michele Van Slyke’s studio, Van Slyke assumed it was to discuss the metal sculpture railing she designed for Yonder, the creative haven on the north end Sears co-owns with husband and Island Treasure, Frank Buxton. But that didn’t explain the champagne bottle Sears brought and presented to the puzzled Van Slyke. “There’s more,” Sears said, pulling out a crown, the signature headpiece bestowed upon female recipients of the
honor. “I didn’t expect it at all. We’ve been here 40 years,” Van Slyke said, referring to her husband Kent with whom she shares the south end studio/home. By coincidence, or the island’s two degrees of separation factor, Kent designed the Island Treasure trophy that his wife will receive Feb. 25 at the gala awards banquet. “The first 15 years we were very involved,” she said. “We were young and energetic. We had kids in the schools.” She was instrumental in establishing the Bainbridge Island Arts Council, which administers the award. She volunteered as artist in residence at the schools, helped BAC move to its present location. But that was all “before the fire,” Van Slyke says of the 1985 event that serves as a sooty demarcation of their island life. Much of that activity was “pre-fire,” back when the island was home to a mere 5,000 people. “Back when you knew
The Island Treasure selection process is modeled after the MacArthur Genius Awards Program. Each year 10 community members representing a broad range of island arts and humanities organizations are each asked to anonymously nominate one or two outstanding candidates. Candidates’ names and the descriptions of accomplishments are then submitted to a five-member jury comprised of individuals drawn from every aspect of the Bainbridge Island community. The names
of the two award recipients are then approved by the Arts & Humanities Council Board. Complete anonymity of nominators, jurists and recipients is maintained throughout the process. Each Island Treasure receives an unrestricted $4,000 cash award and an Island Treasure Candle Holder Trophy designed by island artist Kent Van Slyke.

that much. “It’s a job,” she said of making a living at making art. “You get up and work. We do what we’re good at. If I was good at computers, I’d do that.” She thinks art is an important contribution. “It gets the mind going,” she said. “When you have malls where everything is the same from Anchorage to here to Florida, nothing stimulates the mind much. Whether art is good or bad, it gets you to stop, gets you to think.” “After the fire,” the petite Van Slyke, who loves color, could “only think in black and white.” “It wasn’t the death of a family member, but it was the death of a way of life,”

Island Treasure Award “Michele and George embody the spirit of the Island Treasure Award,” Bainbridge Island Art and Humanities Council Executive Director Barbara Sacerdote said. “Their talents and achievements in the visual and literary arts have made an indelible impact on the culture of Bainbridge Island, and the vibrancy of their work is matched only by a consistent generosity in sharing it, and themselves, with the community.”
everybody by face,” she said. “You could arrive one second before the ferry took off.” Now that the island’s growth spurt has multiplied that number – and higher taxes have squeezed out the 70s-era artists – she’s surprised people remember her contributions. The small-town life appealed to Van Slyke who was born and raised in the tiny village of Renaison, France.

Van Slyke doesn’t have a website, just “word of mouth” reputation from projects in France, China, Japan and the West Coast. Her work can be seen around town, at City Hall, the Bainbridge Library, even in the foyer at IslandWood where the Island Treasure awards ceremony will be held.
all in her mind For Van Slyke, the work begins in the gray matter where she pieces ideas, redrawing them over and over in her mind. It’s not until she sees the work completely that she commits it to paper. “Clients will ask me what ideas do you have so far, and I tell them I’m thinking about it,” she said. They think I’m not working, but I am. I’m

working on it all the time.” The physicality of the work – drawing large-scale pieces on the floor of her studio, soldering metal, installing work – has taken its toll on her body. Her knuckles are swollen with arthritis and she thinks of slowing down. The idea of making oversized prints has been surfacing for her and she’d like to spend more time with her grandchildren. “I know I can’t stop and just read books,” she said. “I’ll need to do something.” Her newest project veers into the territory of her fellow Island Treasure recipient. She’s written a children’s book, “Skootch the Island Cat.” She’ll read that to her grandchildren, along with several she’s been reading to them that, she hadn’t realized until recently, were written by Shannon. In some ways, it’s still a small island after all.

Big Kid George Shannon has seen a lot of changes in the 40 years he’s been writing stories for children professionally – the rise of the Internet, video games, DVDs in SUVs. “Kids still love to hear a story told live with the human voice,” Shannon said last week. And they’ve got a few of Shannon’s to choose from. He’s had 40 books published with four more in the works. As a painfully shy kid growing up in “the metropolis of 1,400 people in Caldwell, Kansas, Shannon spent most of his time rummaging through his imagination, concocting stories and pretending. But in seventh grade, he realized the power of print and the positive effect his written stories had on his teacher and classmates. “I was a dork,” Shannon admits. Storytelling was
Page a11
finally a way to make a connection. Living in conservative Kansas, the son of the school’s principal, Shannon kept his dream of writing children’s stories to himself. At 16, he sent his first manuscript, “The Blue Stone,” to a publishing house – which promptly rejected it. He kept at the craft, while attending college majoring in library science and political science during the turbulent late 60s when “librarians were very radical.” A conscientious objector to the Vietnam War, Shannon wore a “big brown honkey ‘fro” and wore the black armband of the war resistor. “But I didn’t put it on until after I left the house,” he jokes. “I was political, not a fool.” His big break came when the librarian in a neighboring town ran off to Las Vegas. The void provided Shannon with
a foot in the door where he “learned by fire” all the while writing in his free time. Some writing was “terrible” articles aimed for The New Yorker and the Atlantic Monthly, but most were charming children’s stories. “Lizard Song” caught the eye of an editor at Greenwillow Books and it was published in 1978.
a real job “I haven’t had a real job since 1978,” Shannon declared, although he’s worked stints at Eagle Harbor Book Company and now, The Island School. What he means is he’s never had to wear a tie. “Kids are my peers,” he said with his irrepressible exuberance. And he’s shared his stories with plenty of them – all over the U.S., Kuwait, Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Alaska.
His love of different cultures and perspectives predates his travels. He was immersed in ethnic folktales decades before getting a passport. When not traveling or touring on behalf of his books, Shannon is on the boards of the library and Field’s End. These days his growing edge is toward theater arts, taking acting and improv classes here and in Seattle. Though he’s comfortable in the spotlight reading to kids or playing a dramatic character, receiving the Island Treasure award makes Shannon just a little uncomfortable. “It’s a big ‘Look at me!’” he said. “I’m flattered and anxious partly from growing up in the Midwest. If you toot your own horn, you go to hell.” Luckily for Shannon, plenty of others are more than willing to make some noise on his behalf.

Brighten the dark days with an eclectic concert with Hanz Araki and Katherine Claire at 7 p.m. tonight at Island Music Center. While Araki may be best known in the Northwest for his playing and singing of Celtic music, his deep roots are in the shakuhachi, the traditional bamboo “Zen flute” of Japan. Trained by his father, Kinko Ryu Grand Master Kodo Araki V, Hanz (short for Hanzaburo) can claim the title of the world’s only sixth-generation shakuhachi player. He took up the shakuhachi at age 17, making his concert debut in Japan only four months later. He went on to teach shakuhachi at Keio University in Tokyo before moving back to Seattle in 1992. Influenced by his mother’s Gaelic roots, he began teaching himself Irish and Scottish tunes on the flute and penny-whistle. His flute playing and singing of tra-

The Art of Research
Wendy Call will teach you how to put files, stacks, and bytes to work for your writing. This workshop will help you find the resources that best inform your writing. Bring your research questions and your laptop (optional). A reference librarian will join the group for part of the day to help navigate information superhighways and carriage roads. Maximum class size: 20 Sunday, Jan. 22 10 a.m.-4 p.m. with an hour lunch break Tuition: $100
Marketing Your Book to Agents or Publishers Alice B. Acheson, who has read the slush pile for a major New York publisher, will help you craft a query letter and synopsis that will introduce your book project in a compelling way. Acheson shares what works, what doesn’t – and why. While much of this
class will focus on fiction, the process can benefit nonfiction writers working on memoirs, biographies or other creative nonfiction. Saturday will focus on the query letter. Sunday will focus on putting the “sell” into the synopsis, using and amplifying what has been learned. After registering, students will receive, via email, guidelines for writing a one-page query and a synopsis, plus an example of a query that succeeded. Before Feb. 3, students will need to email their query letter and synopsis to the instructor and bring to class 12 copies of each. Between the Saturday and Sunday classes, students will be asked to read all synopses and be ready to comment. Maximum class size: 10 Saturday, Feb. 11 and Sunday, Feb. 12 Saturday 1:30-5:30 p.m. and Sunday 1-5 p.m. Tuition: $160
Writing Your Memoir
Corbin Lewars reminds writers that a memoir is a story from your life, not the story of your life. Through lecture, discussions and readings the class will explore the importance of theme, the art of using judgment, forms of memoir, how to weave musings along with plot to keep the story going, and that sticky thing called truth. Lewars will give home writing assignments and provide oral feedback during class. Workshop scenes and leave class with an opening scene and a scene that blends musing and judgment. For anyone writing a memoir, whether in the brainstorming stage, working on a revision, or somewhere in between. Maximum class size: 17 Thursday, March 15, 22 and 29 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Tuition: $120 For more information about Field’s End programs, visit www.fieldsend.org.

Wrestlers show depth, promise By WIllIE WENZlAU For the Review
Despite opening the season with a 42-31 loss to Kingston last week, BHS wrestling coach Dan Pippinger likes his team’s work ethic and progress. All of which showed up two days later with a 57-15 victory over Eastside Catholic. Although the season has just begun for the Spartans, Pippinger said they must begin to improve and refine their skills in preparation for their most challenging opponents, such as North Mason and O’Dea. Bainbridge has the depth and work ethic necessary to be a top team in the Metro League, he said, but each wrestler must step onto the mat with a higher level of confidence. “The team is looking good at this point,” Pippinger said, “because this is a good, hardworking group of guys.” Above all, Pippinger is content with the leadership he sees in seniors Alec Greiwe, Connor Kenyon, Caleb Samson and Mitch Coryell. During pre-season practice, the team focused on details of the implementation of a given move. Pippinger believes that by breaking a move down and focusing solely on one aspect, the boys will learn techniques properly. There have been moments when the coach has seen this

Before a restart, Pippinger instructed Alex Hoover on how to approach his opponent and Hoover then perfectly executed the instructions to earn an escape with only 1.6 seconds left in a tie match. Pippinger has stressed the importance of mental focus as well as perfecting the physical skills. Two important aspects of mental focus that he has spent time on are visualization and inspirational quotes. Moving forward with the season, Pippinger hopes to see improvement from competition to competition, espe-
cially in the team’s confidence and offensive courage. “We have a very solid core of wrestlers who are on the verge of taking it to the next level,” he said. “I’m looking forward to seeing them realize it and commit to it,” Pippinger said. The Spartans competed well despite the loss to Kingston. Pippinger felt that his team fought hard, was tough defensively, and frustrated their opponents. “What Kingston does well that we could improve on is that they use their toughness and physicality to attack and score,” Pippinger said. In the 182-pound weight

Pippinger recalls Coryell’s match against Eastside Catholic’s Joe Stoutt, the top 195-pound weight class wrestler in the league, as one of the best performances this season.

Bainbridge Island city hall gets charged up Solar panels to be installed on city hall at no charge to city By RICHARD D. OXLEY Staff Writer
Bainbridge Island’s city hall is looking to be a shinning example in an entirely new way after the city council approved a contract allowing solar panels to be installed on its roof. The contract solidifies a relationship between the city and Community Energy Solutions in order to place solar panels on the roof of city hall on Madison Avenue. Through this agreement, the city will be able to lessen its energy costs while also making a public effort to be environmentally conscious. “For city taxpayers it provides savings on money that would otherwise be used to pay electric bills,” Council Member Barry Peters said. “For a community that cares about the environment, it allows us to use less of coalfired electricity that normally supplies our island.” The city will own the property that the panels will

Company President John Flanagan stands next to a panel similar to the ones that will be installed on the roof of city hall. be on, while CES will form a subsidiary, Community Solar Solutions, to purchase and manage the solar panel system. City hall has three tiers of roof covering it — upper, middle and lower. The middle roof, the largest of the three, is where the solar panels will be installed. The roof faces south, which is an ideal orientation for the panels to collect light.
The panels will be constructed by Itek Energy, a company based out of Bellingham. A total of 309 photovoltaic panels will line the roof of city hall, with a capacity of 240 watts each. This puts city hall’s solar energy production just under the maximum 75 kilowatts allowed on a structure by law, according to Joe Deets, director of CES, and also president of
the subsidiary CSS. City hall will receive half the retail value of the energy furnished by the panels.
no charge Deets said that the price tag on the project will run around $505,560 — or $1,633 per panel — and while it is difficult to say exactly when installation will begin, he is hoping that work will begin by March of
next year. Peters speaks from “It is important to experience. He had panels remember that this project installed on his own home will be 100 percent funded and has been observing with private money,” Deets their benefits for four years. said. “The city will have no “We have met almost financial obligation, and in 90 percent of our electricfact will receive rent from ity needs over the past four the project years,” Peters owners.” said. “What “So solar works, and CSS will people don’t it’s never been less pay for realize is that costly than it is right our weather in the panels through the summer now...” investors time gives us Barry Peters, city council who will many months in turn of solar enerreceive benefits from state gy, and our laws in the state and federal incentives for of Washington allow us using solar energy.

William Tilleard Farwell, born December 16, 1913, passed away peacefully on December 1, 2011 at his home on Bainbridge Island, at age 97. Bill was born in Seattle and moved to Skagway, AK in 1917 with his mother and stepfather. His childhood was spent between boarding school in Canada and summers in Skagway. As a young man, Bill earned money during his summers in Skagway through a variety of entrepreneurial endeavours. One of his most successful was providing site-seeing tours in a custom designed cart powered by sled dogs. He loved the city of Skagway, and entertained his family and friends with many stories of his boyhood adventures there. Bill attended the University of Washington where he met his first wife Margaret Tupper. They lived in Seattle and had two daughters before divorcing in 1955. Bill continued working in the travel industry until meeting his second wife Jean Fenn Farwell, a rising star at the New York Metropolitan Opera. Bill and Jean spent the next 56 years working together to promote Jean’s career, traveling extensively to the different cities and countries where Jean performed. They had homes in Malibu and Pacific Palisades, CA before retiring to Bainbridge Island. When Bill and Jean weren’t traveling, they both enjoyed boating trips aboard their Grand Banks, the “Won Lon Song”, in the San Juan Islands and Canada. Their world wide cruises with Princess Cruises and Holland America Lines were so frequent that they became members of the “Captains Circle” at Princess Cruises and the “Mariners Society” at Holland America. A domestic cruise to Alaska always included a trip to Skagway. After retiring to Bainbridge Island, Bill and Jean became dedicated “snowbirds” and every winter they made their home in Coronado, CA. Bill loved going to garage sales on the island and he became well known for his innovative bargaining techniques. He never let mobility challenges slow him down, and experienced life to the fullest extent. He was fortunate to have enjoyed a long and happy life, and his quick wit and playful nature will be very much missed by his family and friends. Bill is survived by his wife Jean Fenn Farwell of Bainbridge Island, brother Pat Farwell of Santa Barbara, CA, daughters, Stephanie and Robin Farwell both of Bainbridge Island and grandchildren Bryce Matthews of Bellingham, WA and Layne Matthews of Eugene, OR. Services will be private. It is suggested that any memorial donations be given to the charity or organization of your choice.

FYI POLICE BLOTTER Bainbridge Police reported the following incidents: Dec. 9 5:49 p.m. Witnesses called police to report a reckless driver that they were currently following. Witnesses followed the car after watching it plow into a row of mailboxes on Ferncliff Avenue and drive into a ditch. The car then sped north eventually turning onto State Route 305. Witnesses said the car went in and out of another ditch near Koura Road and continued north where it crossed the center line swiping an oncoming car near Seabold Church Road. The vehicle continued north over the Agate Pass Bridge where it eventually crashed head on with a south bound vehicle in front of Cedar Glen Park. The passenger of the southbound vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. Both drivers were airlifted to Harborview Hospital. 8:18 p.m. Police responded to a threatening phone call to a home on Arrow Point Loop. A wife called police claiming that a woman answered her husband’s cell phone when she called it. The woman on the other end of the line told the wife to stop calling her own husband’s phone and further threatened to kill her, according to the wife. Police later found the husband and the woman at an island bar. The woman said she answered the husband’s phone but did not threaten anyone. She said there has been a feud between the wife and her. 10:27 p.m. A man reported an incident where an intoxicated associate threw what could have been a knife at him after driving him home on Cemetery Road. After a party at an off-island location, the man drove his friend to his home on Bainbridge Island. The conversation in the car was pleasant until the intoxicated friend became angry at one point and threw what appeared to have been a knife at him after exiting the vehicle. The sober driver then called a taxi to get home and reported the incident to police. Dec. 12 5:24 p.m. Police reported that a boyfriend and girlfriend ended their relationship with “less than cordial words.” Police responded to a report of a verbal argument and theft at a residence on Madrona Way. A woman said that her former boyfriend had taken her belongings with him when he left, including a tin box, marijuana pipe and a thumb drive that held a number of pictures of her on it. The woman said that the pictures of her were from when she was younger and that they may be “racy” in nature. Police informed the woman that if the pipe had any indication of marijuana residue or showed signs it was used to inhale, she would not be getting the pipe back. Police also said that if the pictures were illegal for the boyfriend to have in his possession, those wouldn’t be returned either. Police searched the area and could not locate the man. Police also made phone calls and left a voicemail. The boyfriend called police back and told them that the tin and pipe were his and were used for medical purposes. He said he was moving to another state and was already past Tacoma with no intentions of returning to Bainbridge Island.

How to Save Your Healthcare Dollars
Written by Bianca Kuckkuck
As health care consumers endure higher deductibles and reduced insurance benefits, it is becoming more important to understand and compare costs before receiving medical treatment. Patients can and should be more proactive about seeking the best prices for their services. Hospitals and doctors’ offices don’t like to publicize their list prices, which can vary a great deal amongst providers for the same service. What patients don’t know is that hospitals and doctors’ offices will share price information with patients directly if requested. Negotiate upfront and ask for a discount from list price if you are a cash paying patient: If you have a private insurance, your provider has a contractual price list with your insurance carrier. This price list is not the same for all hospitals and doctors. If you have not met your deductible you will be charged according to that price list. The insurance price list and even the Medicare price list are always higher in larger cities like Seattle and Tacoma compared to, Kitsap County. So traveling to Seattle for simple medical services like a mammogram will not only cost more because of car, ferry, and parking expenses but you will be billed more by the provider for the same medical service(s) you could have received locally. You are probably asking yourself at this point, how do I compare and negotiate a price? Frequently, patients do not know the medical service, lab, or x-ray test that will be ordered prior to their office visit. So, how can you find out up front if you have picked the best value location of your preferred choices? In fact, this is simpler than shopping around for the best deal to repair your car. The prices for car repair shops are not linked. If you know the repair shop that is the cheapest to repair your brakes it does not necessarily mean it is the cheapest to repair your transmission. To compare medical costs based on an exam or service is simple because all services for hospitals and doctors have a fixed relationship. If you know which facility has the lowest fee for one kind of services you know that facility has the lowest fee for all the other services. All medical services use the same coding system referred to as CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes and each CPT code has a relative value attached to it. These codes are the same codes you will see on your medical bill or EOB (Explanation of Benefits). CPT codes are identifying numbers assigned to every task and service a medical practitioner may provide to a patient including medical, surgical, and diagnostic services. Hospitals and medical providers negotiate with insurance carriers a dollar multiplier that is applied to all these codes. Because each code has a relative dollar value attached they are then used by insurers to determine the amount of reimbursement that a practitioner will receive by an insurer. Since the codes are universal, the same codes means the same thing, they ensure uniformity in identifying medical services. The difference in price comes into play when insurers negotiate a different multiplier also called a conversion factor with the providers, hospitals, and doctors.
It is important to remember that the charge for service is paid differently to different practitioners despite being the same service or CPT code. An Example for patients that have a high deductible, (more the norm now in these financially challenging times) Doctor A: The patient sees Dr A for an office call and their carrier allowed a negotiated rate of say $100.00 that would be the patient’s deductible amount to pay. Doctor B: If the patient saw Dr B who had a negotiated rate of $150 then the patient would owe that amount. Another scenario would be plans that have a cost share split such as 80/20. The patient’s share of the “allowed amount” would be different depending on different contracts. The patients are not usually responsible for the difference above the contracted amount (Note: Medicare Rates in Kitsap County are lower than in Seattle and Tacoma which means less out of pocket expenses for those who chose to seek care locally). How to find the right CPT code for your health issues: As mentioned above it is not necessary to find all the right codes when you compare prices. One or two codes are enough. You can search for them on the web or simply make a note of a few codes listed below. Unfortunately the search on the AMA web site is not very user friendly. You can also call the clinic and ask for the code from the billing department. Physical checkup .......................................................... CPT 99396 Foreign body removal ................................................... CPT 10120 Closed treatment of clavicle fracture ............................. CPT 23500 Closed treatment of ankle dislocation ........................... CPT 27840 Chest x-ray, single view................................................. CPT 71010 Chest x-ray, two view .................................................... CPT 71020 When it comes to imaging procedures it is a bit more complicated. If you go to an emergency room or Prompt or Urgent Care associated with a hospital you will get a charge from the facility for taking the X-ray 71010 and separate bill from the radiologist reading the x-ray 71010. Whereas at a Prompt Care or other Urgent Care facility, the X-ray charge with the same code 71010 will combine the two charges. Therefore, when checking out imaging prices always ask if this includes the radiologist reading fee. Also, there may be separate charges from the facility and doctor when going to an ER under the same CPT code. “If the hospital or doctor won’t tell you what they charge, my advice would be to go to a different doctor or hospital,” says Jane Cooper, president and CEO of Patient Care, a health advocacy company based in Milwaukee. If you’re fortunate enough to get comparative information and an alternative hospital or facility is cheaper, go to the original hospital to see if they will match the lower price. If all the hospitals you contact charge similar amounts, see if you can negotiate a prompt payment discount with one of them. One major drawback of looking up prices online or contacting finance departments is that the pricing information you receive is

likely to be a hospital’s high list prices. If you are insured, your insurance company probably negotiates a lower rate for you, even if you have a very high deductible. It is therefore important to talk to a person in the billing department and have your insurance information ready. This is the only way you can compare apples to apples. To help further demonstrate how costs differ we were able to get information directly from a patient that lives in our community for the below example. Example: A women age 40 developed abdominal pain and needed to be seen by a physician promptly and could not be seen by her regular physician that day. Because she is on a tight budget and has a high deductible she took the time and made phone calls to get an idea as to what the cost would be to be seen at an urgent care clinic. A Poulsbo facility quoted an average price for a non-established patient $134.00 – $193.00. She was initially planning to go to one of the local hospitals, where she would have paid in comparison approximately $325.00 $690.00 to be seen by the doctor on duty plus an additional facility fee, which the hospital/ facility quoted a range of $ 1,500 - $3,509. The doctor at the hospital would have very likely ordered additional lab studies, x-rays, and probably an ultrasound or CT scan. Her proactive action in doing research with a few phone calls and travelling a few short miles saved her thousands of dollars. In conclusion, when making the choice to receive care hospitals or facilities associated with hospitals may not be the best choice for your medical care needs—and certainly not the most cost-effective.

Buy a tree and give back to the world Many of the trees on the lot come with a small picture of one of the many Bolivian residents the Etta Projects has helped over the years. A reminder of where money goes once it leaves the lot, Nixon said. Stafford and Le Gamarche co-owner Betsy Jolliffe donate a portion of profits from their Cedar Springs Pavilion by the Lakes to the Christmas tree lot every year. They see their donation as a small way to give back to an important cause. It’s also a way to remember the bubbly, smart girl who worked at Le Garmache for two years before leaving for South America, Stafford said. “Etta was an awesome, awesome person,” Stafford said.

Etta Projects developed and funded a School Garden Program in Bolivia. Etta Projects works with women and children to develop sustainable solutions to challenges facing rural Bolivian communities. Etta Projects Nixon, the group’s executive director. “It’s a way to give back to the world when you buy a tree,” she said. The Etta Projects started in 2003 in honor of Etta Turner (1986-2002), a South Kitsap High School junior who died in Bolivia while she was on a Rotary
Exchange program. She was 16 when a bus she was riding in crashed down a steep mountain road. Etta Projects aids Bolivia in a way in that the politically aware Turner would have approved of, said Laura Stafford, co-owner of Le Garmache Catering, which provides space for
the tree lot. The nonprofit group, which sometimes spends up to four years implementing projects, works with women and children in rural communities. “Helping women and children become empowered, that was Etta,” Stafford said.
Donations at work Here are some examples of how donations have made a difference in the lives of people in Bolivia: ■ Etta Projects feeds approximately 240 children per day. ■ $3,000 created the School Garden Program. ■ $1,500 created the Bakery Project Program. ■ $210 paid for vitamins for 100 children per day for

ALIVE Shelter helps victims break the domestic violence cycle BY ERIN JENNINGS Kitsap Week
M
ost people’s Christmas wishes don’t include shampoo, toothbrushes or diapers. But for participants in the YWCA Adopt-a-Family holiday program, sensible items often top the list. “Most of their requests are for really practical items,” said Jackie Brown, director of the ALIVE Shel-
ter. “They aren’t asking for Leapfrogs or iPods.” The ALIVE Shelter is part of the YWCA of Kitsap County, an organization that focuses on supporting families overcome difficult times, and often the struggles are related to domestic violence. The ALIVE Shelter provides temporary housing for victims of domestic violence and their children. According to Brown, the shelter has room for 17
people and it is always full. Along with the shelter, the YWCA lends support with legal advocacy, a clothing bank and help in obtaining permanent housing. “Often people come to the shelter with nothing but what they are wearing,” Brown said. “We’ve had people arrive right at Christmas.” Donors know this can happen and some specifically purchase gifts that appeal to a wide-range of ages and tastes.
Each year, an average of 300 people receive gifts donated through the Adopta-Family program. Often recipients have jobs, but cannot financially afford to buy gifts for their children. Linda Joyce, executive director of the YWCA told of one woman who lived at the shelter and then participated in other programs offered through the YWCA. For three years, she received assistance during the holidays, but one year

told Joyce she wasn’t going to sign up for the Adopt-aFamily program. “ ‘Don’t you need things?’ I asked her. She said, ‘Yes, but I’ve received for long enough and I want others to get things,’ ” Joyce recalled. With wishlists in hand, donors hit the stores in search of the special requests for families they will probably never meet. Items include clothing and toys, as well as personal hygiene
products. Donors are comprised of local businesses, offices, clubs and individuals. “We’ve had families come in who say that instead of buying gifts for each other, they want to buy for others who are experiencing a difficult time,” Joyce said. Debbie Brockman, ALIVE family services director, wrote, “Many of our donors are struggling themselves but they make See YWCA, Page 3

Gift-giving ideas for your unsung heroes Dear Erin, It’s the season of giving, and I want to say “thank you” to some of the unsung heroes in my life — the carrier who delivers my newspaper, the letter carrier who delivers my mail and packages, the fellow who collects my refuse, the landscaper who keeps the neighborhood looking so neat and the list goes on and on. I want to show my appreciation, but I don’t want to break the bank. What’s an appropriate “tip” to hand out during the holidays?

I spoke with Brian Ireland, customer service supervisor for the West Hills Bremerton Post Office, and asked if there are government regulations regarding what letter carriers are allowed to receive. He read from an official document that stated gifts given must be valued at $20 or less and carriers are not allowed to accept cash. He said the most common gifts received are baked goods. And in case you are fretting if people receive oodles of the same item—say 20 jars of jam — both Ireland and a spokesperson for Waste Management said that doesn’t seem to be an issue; a diverse selection of gifts are usually given.

Working at the YWCA during the holidays helps to restore Brockman's faith in the goodness of people and she said the generosity of the community is remarkable. “We see the evolution of people’s lives,” Joyce said. “We want the community to know that when they invest their resources with us, they change lives.” And then she added, “It’s good for the soul.” Interested in donating?

FOLLOW UP Last week, I answered a question about whether it has become old-fashioned for men to open doors for women. I said if you are the first one to approach the door, the polite thing is to open the door for anyone behind you, regardless of gender. Most of the emails I received from readers agreed with my stance. A few women wrote in to say that if they are in the company of a man, they expect the man to open the door. Many people commented that often when they hold

If Mr. Holly is thoughtful enough to kiss his wife every time he opens the car door for her, surely we as a community can thank strangers who hold doors open for us.

to help victims realize domestic violence does not define who they are, but rather it’s the situation they are stuck in, and one in which they should get out. “When I created the website, my goal was to help 12 people,” she said. “But now I have 85-90 viewers a day, and I've reached 90 nations.” Visit www.survivingdomestic-violence.com.

InMotion dancers perform in Seattle, bringing special event to Silverdale SILVERDALE — The dancers of InMotion Performing Arts Studio in Poulsbo are performing in the noted mini Nutcracker ballet at the Santa Breakfast hosted by the Downtown Sheraton in Seattle. The first Santa Breakfast was Dec. 11, with two more 700-seat sold out performances on Dec. 18 and 19. Helen Wilkins, creator and director of the mini Nutcracker, selected InMotion for the performance

Dance Ensemble Northwest and InMotion Performing Arts Studio performed the full holiday ballet Thanksgiving weekend in the North Kitsap Community Auditorium. The 16 cast members range from age 9 to 16 and have rehearsed tirelessly, among many other rehearsals, to prepare for the
Seattle show. Not only do they perform a shortened version of the classic ballet, they also lead interactive carols, dancing and meetand-greets with the guests.

Gordon Brothers enter Decade 4 of winemaking BY ANDY PERDUE AND ERIC DEGERMAN
Wine Press Northwest
J
eff Gordon is now into his fourth decade of growing wine grapes on top of a cliff overlooking the Snake River near Pasco. He and his brother Bill began planting wine grapes in 1980. They launched their eponymous winery in 1983 and released their first wines in 1985. In 1998, Bill retired from the wine business and Jeff took over the operation. He continues to plant grapes and now is up to 105 acres, with Cabernet Sauvignon taking up a fourth of the space. As recently as 15 years ago, Gordon made about 5,000 cases and sold most of his grapes to other wineries around the state. By 2001, that had grown to 10,000 cases, and a group in California became interested in purchasing the operation. The group appeared to have financing in place, a selling price was agreed on, and Gordon handed over the keys in 2002. The vineyard was not part of the deal, so the plan was for Gordon to sell all of his grapes to the new owners and keep that connection to his namesake winery. “It was really a pretty good plan,” he said. “Then everything unraveled on them.” The group ran out of money and stopped paying him, and it became a big mess, with Gordon taking back ownership in

Back at the helm, Gordon decided to keep all of his grapes and increase production to 25,000 cases, making it one of the largest family-owned wineries in the state. He launched a second label, called Kamiak, which makes up about 20 percent of his production.
In 2007, Gordon hired Tim Henley as his winemaker. The Fresno State grad had worked in the California wine industry for about a decade at both large and small producers. “Tim has done a great job with our wines,” Gordon said. “He’s done a great job of demonstrating the
consistency and quality we can get out here. He’s had a lot of ideas for making improvements, and he’s been a real solidifying influence.” Here are some Gordon Brothers wines we’ve tasted in recent weeks. Look for them at your favorite wine merchant or contact the winery directly (www. gordonwines.com): ■ Gordon Brothers Family Vineyards 2009 Six, Columbia Valley, $50. This wine is named after a
version of Cabernet Sauvignon called “Clone 6.” It is nothing short of remarkable, opening with attractive aromas of chocolate, black cherries, blueberries and black licorice, followed by ripe, even flavors of black olives, black cherries, black tea, dark chocolate and black licorice. It’s an intensely complex wine backed with beautifully balanced tannins and acidity. ■ Gordon Brothers Family Vineyards 2009 Block 3

Merlot, Columbia Valley, $30. This opens with aromas of vanilla, black cherries, mint, cedar and sweet herbs, followed by delicious flavors of black cherries and blueberries, all backed with supple tannins and ample acidity. This will stand up to rare grilled steaks but also will work with Cornish game hens. ■ Gordon Brothers Family Vineyards 2008 Tempranillo, Columbia Valley, $65. This reveals complex aromas of boysenberries, strawberries, chocolate, cinnamon and spicy chocolate. On the palate, it is loaded with massive levels of flavor, including dark berries, tobacco, rich chocolate, black olives and ultra-ripe cherries. Pair with venison, tri-tip or a hearty winter casserole. ■ Gordon Brothers Family Vineyards 2007 Syrah, Columbia Valley, $17. In recent years, Gordon Brothers has gained a lot of fans with this variety, thanks in large part to some major awards in international competitions. This shows off aromas of ripe plums, sweet Italian sausages, fennel, blackberries and leather, followed by complex flavors of blackberries, bacon, black olives and leather, all backed with rich, chewy tannins and an impressive finish. — Andy Perdue and Eric Degerman are the editors of Wine Press Northwest magazine.

The Island Gateway event Dec. 2 served as an entrée to the opening of a new women’s clothing store the next day in the new development at the intersection of Winslow Way and State Route 305. The store is named Aloisa by Kristin Ryann Vogt – after the owner and a line of women’s clothing she will be introducing, along with several other collections. Vogt has owned a women’s clothing store in Poulsbo for four years, but moved to Bainbridge three years ago with the goal of “bringing fashion forward” on the island. The 1,000-square-foot store will offer “clothing that’s a little more hip and not everyday wear,” she said. — BainbridgeReview.com

by the state: A teenager visiting Bremerton High School thought it was strange seeing cellphones on some students’ desks. And inside the building, an adult told him he could keep his hat on. Cadet Schramm has been having a different experience at the Washington Youth Academy. “I said I didn’t feel right wearing [my hat inside] anymore,” Schramm said. A lot has changed for Schramm and his fellow students at the Bremerton
academy, a credit-retrieval program designed for 16- to 18-year-olds who dropped out of high school or who are at risk to do so. The academy, a quasi-military training and mentoring program, is a division of the National Guard Youth Challenge Program. It was announced as an “Innovative School” last month by state Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn. The academy and 21 other schools were honored for providing instructional programs that are bold, creative and innovative. “This should be turned into a four-year school,” Schramm said of the residential academy, a voluntary 22week program. — BremertonPatriot.com

livery, outreach: The Kitsap County HIV/AIDS Foundation will lose funding for its food delivery and youth outreach programs in 2012. The news comes as infection remains a national and global problem. One problem is HIV/ AIDS is beginning to fade from public consciousness, said Kim McKoy, executive director of the Kitsap County HIV-AIDS Foundation. McKoy recalled a man approaching her after one of her information sessions saying, “You know, I really hadn’t even thought about AIDS since the ‘90s.” Some 200 people in Kitsap County live with AIDS. According to McKoy, that number is likely larger as many live with it privately and do not go through the county health district. The Kitsap County Health District was a large source of money for the center. This

year’s statewide budget cuts left an $18,572 hole in the center’s budget. “We didn’t cut our HIV/ AIDS programs, like needle exchange, case managers, and the Madison clinic,” said Scott Lindquist, director of Kitsap County Health District. “But funding for partners was reduced by the state, so the money we passed along to them was less.” — CentralKitsapReporter. com

Sweeps
Continued from page 10 annual gifting adventures. These boys, who were orphans, became very popular among the Dutch citizenry and were well-loved — because of their very dark skin. Some historians refer to the boys as being Moroccan. Whatever their actual roots, it is well-documented that these boys became gainfully employed as chimneysweeps when, of course, they weren’t engaged in gift distribution on behalf of Sinterklaas. (Author’s note: A chimneysweep’s job is to clean the hazardous buildup
“Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” has never been one of the traditional Winter Festival songs in the Netherlands.” of soot from the inside of house chimneys. This cleaning must be done from the very tops of the chimneys all the way to the bottom. And the length of a chimney can be a long distance in a three-story building. Check the Yel-
low Pages for your nearest chimneysweep.) All three of Sinterklaas’s boys were known as Zwarte Piets, or Black Petes. Their origin and/or their being chimneysweeps may have had the most to do with their naming. Soon the legend had Sinterklaas riding a white horse during his appointed rounds on the evening the gifts were being distributed. And on his white horse, Sinterklaas was said to carry with him a large bag full of gifts as well as an unabridged book containing lists of “Who has been naughty” and “Who has been nice.” Is any of this ringing a bell?

No, there was no sleigh. And, no, there were no reindeer. Those would come later. Eventually, the fifth of December of each year became known as “de Pakjesavond” — or the Evening of the Presents. And in response to the promise of a visit from Sinterklaas and with visions of gifts and sugarplums dancing in their heads, children all over the Dutch countryside for hundreds of years have carefully placed their shoes
in front of the fireplaces in their homes. And that is because their shoes were to be the gift receptacles. These children had to be very careful that they didn’t leave their shoes too close to the fire, because — as you know — traditionally, shoes of The Netherlands are made of wood. Once the shoes were strategically positioned in their pre-designated locations (near the fireplace which led to the chimney), the children would happily
