A Giving Tree at Winslow Green is one of many on display in downtown Winslow. The ornaments on the trees provide ways for residents to help others during the holidays, such as buying a toy, or clothes, or donating cash for those in need.

A day left to support Giving Trees.

Scales calls for public records Request investigates ratepayer emails and anonymous memo.

As the holiday gift-giving season nears its end, some downtown Winslow businesses have shown signs of recovering from the road construction over the past year. Some have even found the time to give back.

Despite a recovering economy and pulling out of the era of Winslow Way construction that has disturbed some businesses throughout downtown, merchants have done well over the holiday season — a time when many rely upon the annual rush in sales.

In addition to working hard for holiday sales and keeping with the spirit of giving, some merchants have even taken it upon themselves to fill requests from various Giving Trees scattered throughout downtown Winslow.

“We noticed some of (the Giving Trees) aren’t in places where people pass them

constantly,” said co-owner of Dana’s Show House Terri Bryant. “We were afraid they weren’t being filled, so we found some resources to push that along to increase how much there was contributed.”

Bryant said that many of the merchants talk with each other every day and that filling the Giving Tree requests wasn’t anything formal, rather just something that merchants passed the word along to each other. Soon, some merchants were going into their back rooms and seeing what they could contribute, or they would go and purchase items themselves.

“We would go up to other peoples’ (Giving Trees) and if they have things we can supply or buy, we go out and get them,” said Susan Lawrence, manager of Heart on Winslow Way. “(The trees) are dispersed, and so a lot of the merchants have SEE WINSLOW, A2

Council member Bob Scales has filed a public records request involving fellow council member Bill Knobloch that targets his

personal email accounts and private communications with various members of the Bainbridge Island community.

“My concern is that (Knobloch) is about to leave

the council and he probably has hundreds of records and emails that he hasn’t turned over to the city,” Scales said.

“Combined with the copying of that memo it gave me great concern, and I’m trying to get to the bottom of it … if he screws up, it’s the city that is going to be liable for that.”

Last week an anonymous-

ly authored memo was discovered at city hall. Scales said he finds the memo concerning and wants to get to the bottom of it. The record requests addresses the memo and seeks to discover if Knobloch had any involvement with it. The majority of the requests, SEE RECORDS, A4

Solo flight ‘round the world’ Islander enjoyed 10,000-foot-high sight-seeing trip.

By DENNIS ANSTINE Staff Writer

Islander Harry Anderson wasn’t a likely candidate to take a solo trip “round the world” when he first flew a light airplane in 1998, but 13 years later he was worldly enough to accomplish the rare “RTW” feat.

Anderson, an electrical engineer and software company owner who has

lived on Bainbridge since 2002, flew his single-engine Columbia Lancair from Kitsap County and back over a period of about five months – though the actual journey was three months by the time he landed at the Bremerton Airport on Dec. 8.

The original east-towest flight plan when he left Bremerton last June 27 was to return to locations in the U.S., Britain and France where he had previously worked or visited.

But Anderson changed his mind in mid-July while visiting old friends in Bristol,

England.

One factor was the intermittent volcanic activity in Iceland, which had initially led Anderson to bring along a 78-gallon ferry fuel tank

(replacing two rear seats) in case he needed to take the southern route to Europe.

With the supplemental tank, his plane (N788W) would have enough range to hop between islands in the south Pacific in order to safely complete a RTW flight.

So he committed to it, “but my timing was off by flying to Europe in July because of the monsoon that hits India in the summer and doesn’t really subside until late September.”

He could have taken a SEE FLIGHT, A3

been grabbing things and have been filling them ourselves.”

Upon noticing that some of the Giving Trees were not shedding enough requests from their branches, Lawrence, along with Terry Bryant of Dana’s Show House, began finding ways that their stores could fill the requests, and if not, then they ended up purchasing items themselves.

Lawrence and Bryant then went to Udo Wald of the kayak store Back of Beyond Explorations with Giving Tree requests they thought he might be able to help with.

“I contributed, socks and stuff from the store,” Wald said. “I just gave it. Not leftover stuff, but stuff people can use.”

The Giving Trees were placed in various locations and stores along Winslow Way over the holiday sea-

son by the Bainbridge Island Downtown Association. The branches of the trees held requests for items and donations for a number of local charities and nonprofits.

The trees will be in place until Christmas Eve, leaving one remaining day for the community to fill requests that benefit local and good causes.

“It’s the first year that we’ve had the Giving Trees, and I think it will take a while for it to catch on,” Bryant said.

Eagle Harbor Books also has its own Giving Tree to support Helpline House.

“We have a history of working with Helpline House,” said Bob Davis, the store’s sales manager. “Customers left (purchased items) with us. Most of (the requests) were books.”

Customers could purchase and leave the items at the bookstore where staff would wrap them. Money received from the purchased Giving Tree items will be converted into gift certificates for

Winslow Way businesses were aglow for the holidays. Though it’s too soon to tell, some merchants say business is either slightly up or holding steady over previous years.

Helpline House to use.

Davis said that sales at the store have been stable over the holiday season, noting that the two weeks before Christmas are usually the busiest time during the holiday season.

“It appears that sales have been picking up … it’s comparable to last year,” Davis said. “Historically we’ve been

very pleased with the support from the island. In summer, our customers are a lot of vacationers. Now our customers are going to be from the island.”

Eagle Harbor Books has been promoting “buying local” on its Twitter and Facebook pages in recent weeks, battling the trend to buy gifts online. Davis said

that the decrease in construction activity has helped business during this time as well.

“We are grateful to say that holiday sales are slightly higher than last year — about 2 percent,” said Terry Arndt, co-owner of Paper Products Etc. “We had hoped for higher sales, as every retailer does, but considering the national economic climate

and the drop in sales from the construction project the past several months, we are happy to see our store buzzing with customers again.”

Arndt addressed the City Council in November, speaking for a number of downtown merchants who felt that the construction had caused too much of a disturbance to sales. The merchants were hoping that the holidays would help them recover.

“The best thing I am hearing is that (downtown businesses’) numbers are at least the same, if not slightly up from last year,” said Andie Mackin, executive director of the Bainbridge Island Downtown Association. “It is always a challenge to keep our islanders coming downtown when the inclination is to figure that it will be cheaper at the mall or at that unidentified big box store up on the plateau in Poulsbo.

People continue to be surprised at what they do find in downtown Winslow, and at a reasonable price.”

thing because I returned with the electronic charts that I realized I needed and I was more organized for the trip,” he said.

“Plus I met a couple in Bristol who had just completed a yearlong flight around the world in a homebuilt aircraft and their route paralleled mine through the Middle East and Southeast Asia. They were a great source of recent information on what they encountered.”

What they encountered, as did Anderson, was a bureaucratic quagmire in many countries, especially in India, and the difficulty in locating small general aviation airports in order to avoid the international airports that are particularly unwelcoming to light aircrafts.

“It’s like, would you rather fly into SeaTac or Boeing Field?” he said.

So with their advice and information, Anderson set off on Oct. 10 for France, flying into Cannes and then visiting old haunts in Provence’s Luberon Valley. He had first visited the valley in 1976 with a Volkswagon Beetle he had bought in Paris for $500 – and sold for the same amount

three months later.

While he has visited Provence many times over the years and has seen very little change, his trip to Santorini Island in Greece was an eyeopener for Anderson.

He had visited the southern isle 35 years ago when it was “almost quaint,” but the cruise ships have discovered it and now during the tourist season there’s very little left to like, he said.

By then, some 10 days into his trip, he was happy to leave Europe behind and fly into regions that he knew very little about. He was anxious but “excited” about experience what he termed “the unknown,” at least to him.

He flew south across the Mediterranean Sea for an overnight stop in Luxor, Egypt – just south of Cairo. The next day he flew across Saudi Arabia bound for Dubai, though his takeoff was delayed and his flight rerouted because of “military activity” over the desert.

After touch down at what he considered “the biggest airport I’ve ever landed at,” he got to explore the beaches, its old town and the desert of one of the world’s most spectacular developments. But it’s economy is also in a slump.

Harry Anderson’s flight route on a 2007 map

Anderson made dozens of stops at airports and landing strips in Canada (Labrador), Iceland, Scotland, England, France, Greece, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, Vanuatu, American Samoa, Christmas Island and several in the U.S. – Quincy, Ill., Bangor, Me., Honolulu, Maui, and Monterey and Merced in California.

“There are still a lot of construction and incredible project that have broken ground inland from Dubai,” he said, “but all the work has stopped and the workers, largely Indians and Pakistanis, have been sent home.”

Stops in India and Bangladesh were fraught with worry because the difficulty of finding fuel and dealing with inflexible bureaucrats, but he loved spending more than a week in Thailand and

Singapore.

He also spent several happy days in Australia’s Outback before flying out of a Gold Coast airport bound first for Port Vila, Vanuatu, Pago Pago, American Samoa, and eventually home. But not until he had the only real scare of the trip.

For his last leg from Maui to Monterey, Calif., he was informed that the headwinds over the ocean would be no more than 20 knots, which

was reasonable for an aircraft that could cruise economically at an altitude of about 10,000 feet at about 165 knots.

Unfortunately, the headwinds were more like 40 knots and the flight became a grind and a worry since the 204 gallons of fuel he had aboard when lifting off from Maui might not be enough.

“I thought I’d have enough fuel if the headwind didn’t get worse, which it didn’t,” he said.

“I also had a lot of conver-

sations with the commercial pilots as they flew above me headed for the states, which really helped.”

He landed in Monterey with about 25 gallons of usable fuel, which would have kept him in the air for about two hours longer if necessary.

Anderson said the best part of the flight was just being in the air being able to see the world from a great perspective.

“Obviously, it just a different view, from 10,000 feet up,” he said. “Flying commercially is OK, but it’s too high to see the farmer working in his fields or the beauty of the land.”

Anderson wrote in his blog (http://blog.travelpod.com/ travel-blog/harry4123/1/tpod. html) daily, using his laptop computer as cruised along on autopilot. He also kept in touch with the world via phone and the plane’s radio.

Part of his blog provides tips and basic technical information that other pilots may use.

The website www.earthrounders.com says it is aware of 94 RTW solo flights since 1930, though the earliest ones involved being shipped over oceans.

Will he do it again? Well, maybe not at age 61, but he’s not ruling it out.

however, focus on the lawsuit between the Ratepayers Alliance and the city. Scales is seeking any communications between Knobloch, outgoing council member Kim Brackett, and members of the Ratepayers Alliance.

“Bob Scales is pounding the table because he hasn’t the law or the facts,” Knobloch said. “It’s all allegations … what he’s forgetting is that the community elections for council are over and the community has spoken. He no longer has a majority on council and that’s his problem.”

Scales stated in his records request that it is “well documented and widely known” that Knobloch has been communicating with plaintiffs in the Ratepayers Alliance lawsuit, and used his personal email account to do so. Scales cites his concern that if there’s any litigation in the future involving the transfer of the water utility, plaintiffs may want emails such as Knobloch’s and the city may need them to defend itself.

“It’s all allegation and quite frankly it’s beginning to look like harassment of colleagues on council and has no fact or merit,” Knobloch said. “I feel he is outside of his responsibility

Scales brought forth

the issue earlier this year, addressing Knobloch using his personal email account for city business. At the Oct. 19 city council meeting, Scales produced a large stack of papers with a number of Knobloch’s printed emails. He slammed them down on the dais and said that it violated the rules council are supposed to follow.

“If there were conversations in executive session that (Knobloch) leaked to the ratepayers, that’s breaking the law,” Scales said.

“Everything we say in executive session is confidential and I don’t know if he has (leaked information), I just know he is emailing the ratepayers about water utility issues and that’s one of the reason why I did the public records request.”

City Clerk Roz Lassoff has asked that the email records be provided to the city by Dec. 30. Knobloch and Brackett will no longer be council members after Dec. 31.

callihoo sentenced after fatal shooting LITTLE BOSTON — Stacy Callihoo, the subject of a recent warrant service that ended with a fatal shooting in Suquamish, has been sentenced to 812 days in jail

by Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribal Court for violating his probation.

Callihoo was on probation for indecent liberties and assault. He was also charged with escape of his electronic monitoring device.

Callihoo was taken into custody on Dec. 8 after a two-hour standoff between Port Gamble S’Klallam, Suquamish and Kitsap County Sheriff officers, who went to the house to serve the warrant. During the warrant service, police shot and killed Thomas Anthony “Tony” Black, a resident of the home. The shooting is under investigation.

In relation to that incident, Callihoo, 42, is charged by Suquamish Tribal Prosecutor Donna McNamara with resisting arrest, refusing to

Page a5

aid an officer and disturbing the peace. The case number is CR-11217 (“CR” means criminal).

While the investigation into the incident continues, “My charges are based on the report I received from the arresting officer,” McNamara said.

The Suquamish charges are the only charges Callihoo is facing at this time.

Jennifer Olanie, Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribal Court administrator, said Callihoo was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail when he appeared in court Wednesday. The time is based on suspended jail time from previous charges that has been “reimposed.”

He will serve his sentence at the Chehalis Tribal Jail in Oakville.

IN OUR OPINION

With the need increasing, islanders continue to give

H

elpline House is always a good barometer of how difficult life has become for many residents of an island that has the erroneous (off-island) reputation of being too rich to care about others less fortunate. A conversation with any one of a dozen Helpline House volunteers or employees, for example, reveals the general philanthropic nature of islanders.

Marilyn Gremse, who serves the nonprofit as the volunteer and food bank manager, said this week that the daily need continues to increase and never more than during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. About 250 households are using the busy food bank each week, she said, including 71 families who shopped there last Monday.

While the Helpline food bank is definitely ground zero for people needing a little help, the succor really is fueled by the community as a whole. Giving is so ingrained here that if you are involved in the community in one way or another, then you have caught the bug.

Many individuals stand alone, but contributors also give via associations, clubs, neighborhood groups, families, Scout troops, schools and their classrooms, banks, businesses of all kinds (especially those selling food), gardeners, farmers, on and on. Island youth, fortunately, are especially bitten by the urge to share.

People are quite ingenious about discovering ways to collect.

For example, Gremse said, there were several office parties this year that asked people to bring food for Helpline House.

“It’s really become very much a community event during the holidays with our toy shop and food bank,” she said. “We get a great response from this community and its appreciated by all.

For us, it’s just great to help people and because of that we have many dedicated volunteers. And we need them all.”

The toys are gone, by the way, but food will be available until 4:30 p.m. Friday when the volunteers finally get to go home.

“Bainbridge Island Review”

Having a pint for a man who made a difference Some may have noted the passing this last week of Vaclav Havel, the first president of post-communist Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). The world has lost one of the finest populist democratic thinker/writers of the 20th century. Let me tell how I became involved with this remarkable man.

In 1989 I was teaching in the music department at Central Oregon Community College in Bend. Taking a break in the faculty lounge one day, I picked up the latest edition of a contemporary music magazine. The main article was an interview with Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground.

I wasn’t a huge fan, but a fog of mild localized boredom propelled me to read on.

In the following pages he described having been invited, out of the blue, by

the brand new president of the brand new Czechoslovakia (Havel) to visit his country. Reed went on to detail his adventures, including being escorted around Prague (a more accurate term would be pub-hopping) by the new head of state.

Havel was a huge Velvet Underground fan, and Reed described his amazement at being treated to a performance of a Velvet Underground clone band made up of Czechs singing his own material phonetically.

Reed went on to outline something of Havel’s background: avant-garde playwright and philosophical linchpin of a group of politically dissident artists and writers in communist Czechoslovakia. He spent a few years behind bars for his efforts. His essays and musings on human rights and the nature of democracy are smuggled out of the country and published abroad.

When the communist regime finally writes itself out of existence, it elects, as its last official act, Vaclav Havel as president; he being the only possible national figure whom the populace will endorse.

At this point I was intrigued, and I could not help a moment of ironic comparison with our country. Imagine, say, the United States poet laureate being elected president here. I went to the college library, where I found a volume of letters written by Havel to his wife while he was in prison.

They were essays by Havel of overwhelming power and eloquence setting forth his vision of a moral imperative for basic human rights and populist democratic principles as a basis for public (read: government) behavior. Since then, I have followed his career, and have read everything of his that I could get my hands on. I encourage you to do the same.

Let me finish this brief eulogy by

citing another interview concerning Havel; this one with Frank Zappa (I’m a musician after all; I read this kind of stuff). According to Zappa, he was invited by Havel to function as trade representative (unofficially, I suppose) to his new government. He put the proper agencies into contact with Ben & Jerry’s, and thus is responsible for introducing the ice cream to the Czech populace.

We should have more writers and musicians making national and international decisions. At least they have a sense of humor.

I have, for decades, kept an informal list of celebrities whom I thought were interesting enough that I might like to buy them a pint someday, and maybe ask a question or two. All have fallen by the wayside from disillusionment or simple maturity. Havel was the only one left. I’ll have that pint now.

One Call For All

Business helps out For the second year, One Call For All and Bay Hay and Feed collaborated on a “Buy Local, Give Local” event over the two days after Thanksgiving.

The store reported a total of 563 customers who participated in designating 15 percent of their purchase, which was donated by Bay Hay and Feed to a participating OCFA nonprofit organization of their choice.

This effort generated $3,911.25 for these various organizations.

A special thanks to the customers who shopped local and Bay Hay and Feed employees, as well as Els Heyne for her effort in helping to make this event happen.

PAWS asks for help to continue its mission To paraphrase Mohandas Gandhi, a society’s moral greatness can be measured by how well its people treat its animals. By that yardstick, I’m pleased to say, Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap measure up pretty well.

Not that there aren’t times when those of us in animal rescue are ready to throw up our hands in frustration.

As you may have read earlier this fall, animal control officers with Kitsap Humane Society (which has the county contract for animal control) had to seize more than 180 animals at a property in Olalla. Signs of severe neglect were evident, and apparently officers had visited the property many times to issue warnings and advice.

Sadly, our mental health community isn’t ideally equipped to attend to people

who have lost the ability to discern between “saving and helping” animals and putting them in danger through an alarming inability to care for them. Anyone who has seen the show “Hoarders” can understand, however, that what we are talking about here is probably some level of mental illness with physical manifestations.

My point is not to question how an individual reaches this point, but rather to recall how our community dealt with the ramifications.

Animal rescue groups in the area, as well as dozens upon dozens of individuals, pitched in for the sake of the animals.

Logistical plans were cobbled together quickly to funnel

food and supplies, locate pasture space, attend to the animals’ health and transport them as needed.

PAWS fostered the cats and provided loving care after KHS took care of worming and vaccinating them. We provided leukemia testing and mostly watched them eat. Ultimately, the “owner” of these cats released them for adoption. They were spayed or neutered, and are now available for loving local families to give them the ongoing attention they deserve.

Same goes for some cats who came to us around Thanksgiving. A man near Kingston had taken a trip to the refuse transfer station and found that someone had dropped kittens into the closed shell of his pickup.

He told me he’s “not really a cat person,” but he cared

for the kittens devotedly until he could meet us a few days later and made a donation to PAWS when he turned them over. They also received veterinary care and are now ready for loving homes.

With a late kitten season this year and many folks seeking to relinquish pets (because of foreclosures, job losses and other personal circumstances), PAWS now has an historic high “census” of cats and kittens available for adoption.

Each is a wonder, as is each dog that we offer for placement through our courtesy listing service. Each of these pets comes with a story that offers ample evidence of our community’s compassion.

We don’t recommend adoption during the holiday frenzy, but we trust each “forever home” to know when the

The pet food bank we started 30 months ago has distributed more than 13 tons of pet food (through four area food banks) to nurture our community’s neediest pets (over 1,000 pounds earlier this week).

These “pet retention programs” offer a small lifeline to literally thousands of local pets and their loving families.

They distinguish Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap as a model of compassion, and not just towards humans. We are honored to continue this mission in your name.

time is right to meet one of these miracles.

And speaking of holiday miracles, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention our holiday wish for continued community support. You may know that FurryTale Farm closed this year, and that three other local animal rescue groups have had to curtail hours and services. The increased mission has fallen on PAWS and KHS at a very difficult time.

Over the last three years we’ve used up our “reserves” and are facing a $30,000 shortfall next year to keep services at current levels.

PAWS of Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap remains the only group in the entire Puget Sound region to offer veterinary financial aid to lowincome pet owners.

Letters Friends of the Farms

Management lease with city necessary As your paper reported, Friends of the Farms (FOF) has entered a lease arrangement with the City of Bainbridge Island to manage 60 acres of farmland owned by the City. FOF is a Washington nonprofit whose mission is to preserve and enhance local farming.

One of FOF’s biggest proj-

ects over the past five or six years has been to assist the city with putting its farmlands into production, and with developing a legal infrastructure for those lands.

During this time we have committed more than 5,000 hours of volunteer work effort to assist the city, and have assisted with approximately $300,000 in capital improvements.

The lease is a big step forward in those efforts, and sets everything in place to complete the legal infrastructure over the next year.

Between the years of work with the city leading up

to the lease, and the work that remains to implement the lease, there have been many questions in the community about this complex arrangement. FOF provides the following in an attempt to address some of those questions: 1. Farmers will pay rent to use City farmland. Rent will be based on a comparison of agriculture lease rates set by the USDA and local Kitsap County rates, and must include utility costs and a proportional share of property maintenance.

2. Friends will receive no management funds from

Friday, December 23, 2011 • Bainbridge Island Review

the city after 2012. There is no obligation for the city to pay Friends for management work. Instead Friends may be paid up to 20 percent of income from leases and fees.

3. Money received from rent will be used to maintain the lands (an obligation for any landlord), and pay the management fee. If income exceeds these costs then that money will go back to the city for its use.

4. A primary purpose of the lease is to remove management costs for the cityrelated to the farmland. City costs will be limited to covering some insurance, staff

time to interface with FOF, and council time to review the annual report. This is significantly less than the cost of the estimated need for a full-time staff member (at $90,000-$110,000 annual salary) to manage the farmlands suggested by the American Farmland Trust in a report to the city.

5. Public notice will be issued in advance of the application period for available subleases.

FOF is currently appointing a task force to assist with implementation of the lease.

The task force will review the farmer sub-lease template,

site committee management rules for each property, and city policy statement for each farm property.

As we wrap up the city lands management project, and improve our staffing and volunteer capacity, FOF will turn more of its attention to other farming matters important to the community.

This includes our current Private Lands Initiative to match farmers with private land owners interested in having their lands farmed.

Thank you for your support.

BHS grads combine learning, voluntourism have to work hard for it (their acceptance and respect), but it feels so good when you get it.”

Everywhere she went she was greeted with “Hey you, Blan!” a reference to her light skin and strawberry blonde hair.

After a while, she began retorting back that she was rouge (red) not blan. Dishing back with attitude made her “appear as more than just a white person with a backpack as a tourist.”

Being accepted by the locals went a long way to help her be more effective in the work there.

“I left right when I was at my stride,” she said.

By CONNIE MEARS Staff Writer

When BHS grad Rachel Harmon stepped out of the shower, she was startled by a gecko slithering across her left foot. Since it wasn’t the charming insuranceselling kind, she spent the next 15 minutes trying to trap it under her tea mug while keeping her towel on. She gingerly took it out to the patio – which is where she found the tarantula.

“Welcome to Haiti,” she wrote in her blog that served to document her three-month stay in Leogane, a seaside town 18 miles west of Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince.

Haiti is the “polar opposite of Bainbridge Island,” Harmon said Monday, still struggling with a bout of giardia.

“It’s dirty, busy, loud, abrasive,” said the 21-year-old who is home for the holidays on the “calm, collected” island.

Taking a break from her formal studies as a biology major, the 2009 Bainbridge High graduate crafted a custom internship. She researched nutrition programs in French-speaking countries, zeroing in on the NGO Children’s Nutrition Program of Haiti.

“I harassed the executive director Carrie Kellie,” Harmon said of the woman who became a “huge inspiration.” “She’s a vegan, laid back, and a feminist.”

Filling the gap Harmon joins a growing number of college students who are taking a gap year from studies to explore their intended field before committing several more years and tens of thousands of dollars to schooling.

For Harmon, the experience confirmed her desire to bring naturopathic medicine to global health care.

The trip, she said, was an education in itself.

“The first day I was totally speechless. It looked like the earthquake had hit a week ago. There were kids, pigs, goats everywhere, garbage in the streets. Rubble.

a bigger picture Though short, the trip gave her a realistic picture of the work she might be doing. Her mentor at the CNP asked Harmon if she’d consider working in the U.S. office to learn the administration aspect of aid work. Harmon is clear that, at least for now, she’d like to get more experience in the field. Her plan is to “finish up some cheap credits,” then transfer to Bastyr University, Rachel Harmon/courtesy Photo Rachel Harmon jokes with one of the children she worked with through a Seattle institution recognized as a pioneer in natural medicine.

Isabelle Hoonan In Nepal, Bainbridge grad Isabelle Hoonan finds Internet access spotty, so she answered a few questions via email about her volunteer work.

She arrived in Nepal Oct. 19 and worked at an orphanage in Pokhara.

“Nepal evokes quite a juxtaposing image, which I suppose drew me to the prospect of visiting.

I chose orphanage work as my path, choosing to work with AAN Orphanage, which is a home that houses and sends 23 children (mainly girls) to private school.”

She found the experience to be profound.

“Working in the orphanage taught me that it’s about being present; taking the time to sit down and draw with one of the kids, or hold their hand and sing “Yellow Submarine” as we’re walking to the bus stop. Anything that puts a smile on their face. The result that I could have been after was ‘changing their lives’ and ‘taking them out of poverty,’ but I choose the small moments - the ‘kicking stones, skipping to the bus’ moments - that gave me the most perspective and hopefully brightened these kids’ lives even for just a day.”

From here, Hoonan, who is traveling with her boyfriend Sawyer Auer, will be using World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) to line up volunteer opportunities in Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia, Thailand and Burma.

She will be working on an organic farm with a women’s empowerment organization “Navdanya” in Dehra Dhun, India.

PAWS Pet Adoption In the last ten years, PAWS of Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap has found loving homes for more than 3,500 cats and kittens. Our 35-yearold nonprofit organization relies on individual donors and receives no government support.

Many PAWS cats stay temporarily in foster homes where we assess their personalities in order to match them up with the perfect family. We are indebted to our many foster families for their wonderful work.

Prior to adoption, PAWS cats and kittens are spayed or neutered, cleared for feline leukemia and FIV, given initial vaccinations, treated for worms, ear mites, and fleas, and implanted with microchip identification.

The adoption fee is $150 per kitten, $110 per adult cat (1-5 years old), $50 per cat 6 years or older. Residents over 65 may adopt any cat older than 2 years of age for $50. Included in the adoption package is a certificate for a free vet exam. For more information on Adoption Policies, visit

Thornes bring global perspective to island What’s happening

By CONNIE MEARS Staff Writer

Island Treasure Kathleen Thorne has organized the Foreign Policy Association’s annual discussion series “Great Decisions” at the Bainbridge Library for the past six years.

Roughly a month before the 2012 series begins on Jan. 28, John Thorne, Kathleen’s son, will also share his perspective on global events.

John Thorne, who grew up on Bainbridge, will present “Reporting the Arab Spring” about his experiences covering the uprisings in Tunisia and Libya in early 2011 for an Arab newspaper. The free presentation runs from 7-8:30 p.m. Dec. 27 at the Bainbridge Public Library.

“Great Decisions has a loyal following among Bainbridge Island’s older, well-traveled and well-read populace,” Kathleen Thorne said. “I’d love to see more students and young adults take part in the discussions.

Occupy Great Decisions!”

The 2012 topics are:

middle east realignment The popular revolts and upheaval of the Arab Spring have radically changed the face of the Middle East. What lies ahead for the Middle East’s transition to democracy? What are the prospects for the governments that have held out in this new order? With many longtime U.S. allies ousted, how will the U.S. recalibrate its relations with the new regimes?

Promoting democracy

great Decisions The 2012 “Great Decisions” lineup will tackle another round of provocative and relevant topics of interest to those who would like to stay informed about the U.S.’s relationship with the rest of the world. The free presentations run for eight consecutive Saturdays from 9-10:30 a.m. at the Library.

The U.S. has had a history of advancing and supporting democracy around the world. What place does democracy promotion have in U.S. foreign policy today?

With a choice of tools ranging from economic aid to military force, what are the appropriate yet effective methods that the U.S. should use to promote democracy?

HEAR every precious word.

mexico

Mexico’s border with Central America, as well as the border it shares with the U.S., has been a pathway for people, goods, crime and contraband in both directions. How can Mexico address these transborder challenges? What is the future of Mexico’s relations with its northern and southern neighbors? How will Mexico’s foreign relations affect its domestic politics?

cybersecurity The securitization of cyberspace has caused a sea change for both governments and the private sector, faced with new threats, new battlegrounds and new opportunities. Faced with challenges such as international cybercrime and authoritarian control of networks, how will the U.S. and its democratic allies approach the cyber frontier?

How does this new domain figure in U.S. strategic interests?

exit from afghanistan and Iraq A decade after Sept. 11, 2001, the U.S. is winding down its military commitment in Iraq and slowly pulling out of Afghanistan.

What exit strategy will help Afghanistan and Iraq build stable democratic nations?

How can the U.S. continue to achieve its counterterrorism goals? What is the role of the U.S. in the future of the Middle East?

Page a13

State of the oceans The world’s oceans are essential to life on earth, and are tremendously sensitive to global climate change.

What are the consequences of climate change on oceanic factors like biodiversity, sea levels and extreme weather systems? How can the U.S. and its international partners address the emerging challenges to this shared resource?

Indonesia Having emerged from authoritarianism in the last 15 years, Indonesia has made remarkable strides politically, economically and socially. Yet the new, democratic Indonesia is still a developing country facing considerable challenges. How can Indonesia continue its path of growth, reform and prosperity? What is its role in the global community?

energy geopolitics The energy markets have been shaken by the instability of Middle East oil and the vulnerability of nuclear power. Moreover, developing countries like China are becoming bigger energy consumers, while energy producers like Russia see the opportunity to widen their influence. In this changed landscape, how will the U.S.’s energy needs affect its relations with other nations?

Spartans led by senior captains Ski Bus to return

By WILLIE WENZLAU For the Review

The Bainbridge High girls varsity basketball team (2-3) had a break-even experience while playing at home last week against two conference foes.

The Spartans lost 51-35 to Seattle Prep (4-2) on Wednesday and then dominated Nathan Hale in a 71-31 blowout.

Although Bainbridge has struggled against some of the higher-ranked teams, it has displayed talent and has shown at times that it’s a solid team.

Head coach Nicole Hebner is convinced her team has potential and believes that the Spartans will continue to grow with more work in a few particular areas.

Against Seattle Prep, the Spartans turned the ball over about 30 times, which effectively led to Prep’s 16-point winning margin. Hebner also said rebounding has become a critical area for the team to focus on during practice.

The team would also benefit from a higher degree of consistency. During the second and third quarters of Wednesday’s game, the Spartans outscored the Panthers by three points.

However, during the first and last quarters combined, the Spartans scored only eight of their 35 points.

Hebner attributed this tendency to play inconsistently to her team’s lack of decision-making on the court.

willie wenzlau/For the Review

Hannah Depew shoots a jumper during the Spartans’ win over Nathan Hale last Friday. She scored 19 points in the game “We need to understand when to fast break and when to run an offense,” said Hebner, “This can tend to hurt us more than help us.”

Hebner said that one of the more fundamental flaws the team suffers from is that they are often looking up at their opponents.

She believes that Bainbridge’s turnover and

NOTICE OF APPLICATION/SEPA COMMENT PERIOD The City of Bainbridge Island has received the following land use application: Date: DECEMBER 23, 2011 Applicant: Jordan & Carol Gates Owner: Jordan & Carol Gates Permit Request: Shoreline Substantial Development Exemption SSDE 17518 Description of Proposal: Repair of an existing bulkhead and the

rebounding problems stem partly from this fact, which she would like to see become less of a factor by having the Spartans limit opponents to one shot opportunity per possession.

Against Nathan Hale, team captains Hannah Depew and Grace Kenyon led their team to victory by scoring a combined 40 of

the team’s 71 points.

Hebner is very satisfied with the leadership of these two players, as well as the guidance of captain Wesley Nottingham.

With influence from Hebner, the trio has worked hard on trying to get the team to play well together, both in practice and games.

Currently, Depew stands second in the Metro League in scoring with a 17-point average per game. She scored 18 against Seattle Prep and 19 against Nathan Hale.

Kenyon, who led the team in scoring against Nathan Hale with 21 points, ranks eighth in the Metro League with an average of 14 points per game. She scored eight points against the Panthers.

Hebner is confident that with the dedication and leadership of the three captains, the team can continue to grow. She believes that if the team can continue focusing on controlling the ball and blocking out opponents, they can make it to the state tournament.

The Spartans still have several daunting challenges ahead, including conference games against Holy Names (6-0) and Cleveland (5-0).

Bainbridge will play at Holy Names on Jan. 3 and at home against Cleveland on Jan. 12.

The Spartans will also play nonconference games at home against Lake Washington next Wednesday and Tacoma’s Lincoln High on Thursday.

for another run Ski Bus, a long-time Bainbridge Island tradition, is being resuscitated in 2012.

For 10 Saturdays from January through March, the Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District will offer buses headed to both Steven’s Pass and Crystal Mountain.

The youth bus, for skiers and would-be skiers ages 9-17, was considered by some to be a rite of passage for young island residents.

Saturday trips to Steven’s Pass will run Jan. 14 to Feb. 11 and to Crystal Mountain Feb. 25 to March 24. Cost for transportation is $199 per person and does not include lift tickets or lessons.

Students ages 9-12 must enroll in a three-hour lesson at Steven’s Pass (additional $195) or a four-hour lesson at Crystal Mountain ($225).

Separate buses for adults will run to Steven’s Pass on Saturdays from Jan. 14 to Feb.

11. The $199 cost does not include equipment or tickets.

Jeff Ozimek, outdoor program coordinator for the Park District, is still looking for chaperones for the youth bus.

“Chaperones are the heart and soul of the ski bus,” he said. “They have the unique opportunity to create and foster positive relationships.”

The Steven’s Pass ski bus will have four chaperones and one paid staff member on each bus. The Crystal Mountain ski bus will have two chaperones and one paid staff member on each bus.

Chaperones must: commit to the entire five-week program; be over 21 years old; submit to a criminal background check; attend the mandatory ski bus meeting; and participate in staff training. There is a strict no smoking, no drugs and no alcohol policy.

If interested, contact Ozimek at 842-2306 ext. 115 or at jeff@biparks.org.

FYI POLICE BLOTTER Bainbridge Police reported the following incidents: Dec. 15 1:11 p.m. A Bainbridge Island resident placed a police report regarding an ongoing matter with a mailing and shipping business on High School Road.

According to the customer who made the report, the incident began in late September when he brought an iPod, its USB cord and two USB hubs to the shipping store.

The store employees were charged with packing and shipping the items for the customer, and didn’t finish packing the items until the day after the customer came in.

An employee recalled that the iPod box was empty when he packed it.

According to the customer, the employee had changed his story since being asked about the incident. It is believed by the customer that the items were stolen at the store.

Dec. 16 12:25 p.m. An island resident living on Edgecombe Place reported that someone had stolen a planter from in front of her home.

The planter was two-feet tall and red, and was placed next to the front door of the home. It is valued at approximately $50.

Dec. 17 1:19 a.m. Officers responded to a report of a loud party in a house on Komedal Road with numerous groups of people appearing to be intoxicated when walking down the road.

When police arrived they found an 18-year-old female near Seabold Community Hall who appeared to be heavily intoxicated. She was having difficulty walking and had slurred speech, but denied drinking anything.

The girl’s parents were contacted and came to take her home.

When police arrived at the residence where the party was in progress, all people were of legal age. Since the 18-yearold-girl was not found at the party’s location it could not be confirmed she had consumed alcohol there, according to the police report.

10:28 p.m. Police pulled over

a driver after the vehicle went through the intersection of Grow and Wyatt avenues without stopping.

After observing the driver’s behavior, officers administered roadside tests and determined that he was intoxicated.

Dec. 18 2:41 a.m. A paper delivery driver reported to police that two stop signs had been torn down on Ihland Way and Nakata Place. It was also reported that planter boxes had been thrown onto Grow Avenue.

11:22 p.m. Police responded to a verbal dispute between two family members on Miller Road.

The two men were arguing over family finances. One of them threw a glass at the other,

Friday, December 23, 2011 • Bainbridge Island Review

prompting the victim to call police to document the incident.

When police spoke with the man who threw the glass, he claimed the argument was also over the fact he is gay and he was being called derogatory words, which incited him to throw the glass. He asked that

police notify the other family member and let him know he is no longer welcome at their home.

Dec. 19 5:05 a.m. It was discovered that someone had pried open the door of the drive-up mail box at

the Bainbridge Island Post Office on Bjune Drive.

Suspect(s) broke the deadbolt lock and took all the mail deposited in it between 3:15 p.m. on Dec. 18 and when a postal employee discovered the mail box had been broken into at 4:55 a.m. on Dec. 19.

Reporter’s note: Sometimes in this line of work, you head down one path and a different story appears out of nowhere. This is one of those times.

Wanting to hear stories of Christmases past, I scheduled interviews with seniors in the community. Then I met John Floyd and his wife, Claire. This is a story of love and giving of one’s self, perhaps the greatest Christmas gift of all.

BY ERIN JENNINGS Kitsap Week

O

n Christmas Eve, John Floyd will read to his wife from the book of Matthew in the Bible, just as he

has for 53 years.

Instead of reading from their home in Port Townsend, for the fourth year in a row he’ll be reading at the Messenger House Care Center on Bainbridge Island.

It’s a journey of 44.2 miles from John’s driveway to the parking lot at Messenger House, a journey he travels four days a week.

Because inside the walls of the Mediterranean-style building lives Claire Floyd, the woman John immediately fell in love with in 1958.

“I just looked at her and I loved her,” John said.

John met Claire by chance in a hotel dining room in Tucson, Ariz. Four days later, he pro-

posed.

John was in the Marines and, soon after the engagement, was shipped to his post in Kodiak, Alaska. Six months later he returned to marry Claire.

Between the day they met and

their wedding day, Claire and John were together 12 times.

And now, John travels 88.4 miles roundtrip to spend time with his sweetheart.

Claire has lived at the care facility since 2008. She has vascular dementia, and though she doesn’t communicate as well as she once did, she is able to tell John “Good morning” and “I love you” upon his arrival.

John’s schedule is precise — what else would you expect See GIFT, Page 2

Gift

Continued from page 1 from a retired Marine? He arrives at Messenger House at 8:15 a.m. and stays until 2 p.m. The couple spends the day together watching old movie classics starring Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. Claire watches from her bed, while John sits next to her, holding her hand and talking with her.

Claire can no longer feed herself, so John helps her — often some of her favorite foods he prepared at home, like asparagus or beets.

“I understand that [Claire] is better off here than she is with me stumbling around the house trying to do all the things she needs to have done,” John said. “But at the same time, there is some guilt.”

Growing up in rural Texas during the end of the Great Depression and during World War II, John said people wouldn’t dream of placing family members in care facilities.

“If you put mama in what they then called a rest home, people didn’t speak to you at church on Sunday,” John recalled. Both of his grandmothers suffered from dementia and were cared for at home by family members.

“Although I understand it intellectually, it’s hard for me to get used to the idea that I can’t care for her on my own,” he said.

During John’s career in the Marine Corps he was often away for long stretches of time, leaving Claire to care for their two daughters and their home. If that wasn’t stressful enough, Claire was burdened with the constant worry about John’s whereabouts. To this day, a bumper sticker in Claire’s room reads, “Marine Wife! Toughest job in the Corps.”

“Over the years, my debt to her kept building and building and building,” he said.

Inside the decorated living room at Messenger House, John reminisces of Christmases past. With the lights from the Christmas tree twinkling off his glasses, he talks about his time with Claire and their family. During his military career, the Floyds moved so frequently, they never were in the same house for more than two Christmases in a row.

But no matter where they lived, the traditions stayed the same: decorating the tree with ornaments collected over the years, reading from the family

Bible, hanging the stockings John’s mother made.

“We really never changed those things,” John said.

“We tried real hard to remember what Christmas is supposed to be about.”

This year, John will spend Christmas Eve with Claire, and then come back again to be with her on Christmas morning.

“I see Christmas as a special time for family and friends,” he said. “It’s a time to remind yourself that we are all on this planet together. And if we can make other people’s lives better, then our lives are better.”

Although he travels hundreds of miles a week and spends hours behind the wheel, John doesn’t think he’s doing anything remarkable. It’s nothing Claire wouldn’t do for him, he said.

And now, John must excuse himself and get back to his bride.

“Truth be told,” he adds before leaving, “I am in as much love with her now as I was in 1958. I come over here because I want to help her, but the other part is that I love being with her.”

Traditions

“We usually picked up our tree around Dec. 10, but it sat in the garage undecorated until Christmas Eve when we decorated it.

We wouldn’t have the tree up too long because we used bubble lights and they would get very hot.” — Anna Maria Whittington-Dirk “Families sat around the fire and told stories and sang songs.” — Name withheld “I grew up in England.

Christmas dinner began by 1 p.m. in order to be finished by 3 p.m. when the Queen would give her annual holiday message.” — Mavis Blackwell

Memorable gifts received

“When I was 15, I was given the gift of my very own room. Up until then, I had to share.” — Anna Maria Whittington-Dirk “I grew up in the ’30s and ’40s and didn’t expect a lot at Christmas. One year I got a bicycle, and it was used. I didn’t care though, I was so happy.” — Name withheld “One year I snuck around to find my gifts before Christmas. I was successful in finding them—I found a beautiful necklace and bracelet set, but it made

Christmas morning very disappointing to already know what I was getting.” — Anna Maria Whittington-Dirk “We lived in a small town without much access to toys.

My mom used remnants and made a bride doll for my sister and a bridesmaid doll for me. They were very authentic, complete with flowers. They were really special because she did such a good job with the materials she had.” — Name withheld “My aunt made me a sailor dress using the material from one of her coats. She sacrificed something of hers in order to make the dress for me.” — Mavis Blackwell

Gift mentality

“Unfortunately, we’ve gotten into a mindset that things are as important as people —and if children wake up on Christmas morning without a thousand things to open under the tree, that they are somehow being deprived.” — John Floyd “Gifts are so much bigger than they used to be. They used to be homemade and the focus of Christmas wasn’t on the gifts.” — Mavis Blackwell

Favorite songs

“We sang all the classic songs like ‘O Holy Night’ and ‘Angels We Have Heard on High,’ but we only sang the first verse. To this day, I still haven’t learned the second verse. — Anna Maria Whittington-Dirk “I like them all, but my favorite is ‘Away in the Manger.’ ” — Name withheld “I enjoy singing all the traditional songs, but my favorites are ‘Silent Night’ and ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.’ ” — Mavis Blackwell

Advice

“You shouldn’t expect much. Everyone seems to have gotten away from the real meaning of Christmas.”

— Name withheld “The Christmas season starts too early now and things have become too commercial.” — Betty Falk “About 10 years ago, we decided as a married See Gifts, Page 3

tanding on his tiptoes to see over the high counter, the young boy asked me to wrap his gift in the fanciest paper.

"It's for my mom," he said as he slid the bag toward me. “Make sure to take off the prices. I don't want her to know how much I spent."

Inside I found a pair of plain Gold Toe dress socks and a gaudy cubic zirconia necklace.

It was a necklace only a Trump could love — if only it was real.

I could imagine the scene leading up to our encounter: The boy wanted to buy his mother a Christmas gift.

His mother, kindly keeping

By ERIN JENNINGS his budget in mind, told him she wanted nothing more than a new pair of socks.

The boy went to the mall to fulfill her wish, but happened to take a detour

by the costume jewelry department.

The sparkling jewels were too much for him to resist.

He wanted his mother to shine.

Back at the gift-wrapping counter, the contrast between the socks and the necklace was almost comical. And, of course, he wanted them wrapped together in the biggest possible box.

The store’s complementary gift-wrap was gray with your choice of ribbon.

But I was pulling out the stops for this young lad.

Instead of using the dull paper, I wrapped his gift in the expensive glittery gold

ust before going to bed that night — “de Pakjesavond,” or the Evening of the Presents — the children would diligently place both a carrot and some dry hay inside their empty, but carefullylocated, shoes.

These “snacks” were not for Sinterklaas nor were they for the three helpers, the Zwarte Piets. No, these treats were for the white horse Sinterklaas rode while dressed in his red-and-white splendiferousness and directing the gifting activities of his three chimney-capable urchins.

Then the Dutch children, after getting their parents to promise to put out the fire in the fireplace before “turning in” for the night, would go to their bedrooms and try to fall asleep. With the excitement regarding what the following morning would bring and “with visions of sugar plumbs dancing in their heads,” the children were rarely successful in drifting into slumberland very quickly.

But eventually they would.

And sure enough, as Dutch folklore attests, Sin-

terklaas would arrive on his white horse in the wee hours of the night and his three helpers would go to work with their uniquelyassigned tasks for each home.

Sinterklaas would review his book, which recorded the names and addresses of all the children, and he would read the naughty-versus-nice annotations. With that information, Sinterklaas would then dispatch his three young assistants — the Zwarte Piets — to distribute the predetermined presents from the gift bag to the appropriate homes in all of the neighborhoods of the cities and surrounding communities.

The goodies in the large bag that Sinterklaas carried with him always contained everyone’s favorite: the ever-popular Dutch chocolate. Most often the chocolate was in the form of the first letter of each nice child’s first name. For example, if a nice boy’s first name was Radjan, the chocolate letter would be an “R”.

Also included in the bag were other popular edibles and tasty treats such as pepernoten, speculaas, kruidnoten, candyflavored marzipan figures, almond-filled pastries, and mandarin oranges.

(Author’s note: If you’ve never eaten speculaas or kruidnoten, ask your Mom to make some for you. If she really loves you,

she will.)

Not to be ignored, naughty children were also remembered by Sinterklaas. The gift for the naughty children was always a roe, i.e. a short, hand-made broom of willow branches. The small broom was specifically intended to be used by parents to spank naughty children who had failed to meet sufficient niceness expectations during the preceding year.

(Author’s note: Sinterklaas, by today’s standards, was not always politically correct.)

Seldom over the years did Sinterklaas disappoint very many children in his domain, when they arose on the morning after “the Evening of the Presents.”

And now you know about the early history of annual gift-giving and where some of today’s Christmas traditions came from.

However, as you also know, not everyone of us is equally fortunate or equitably blessed. Therefore, when you think about giftgiving this season, find a way (via any of a number of local charitable organizations) to share your good fortune with others … such that all members of our communities can experience a very Happy Holiday season.

paper, topped with a giant gold bow and faux greenery.

Of course, I wasn't going to charge him.

He oversaw the entire process, giving me suggestions on additional ribbon and accoutrements.

That Christmas morning, I thought about the boy and his mom — the pride he must have felt giving her his prized gift. And the joy and surprise she experienced upon opening his gift.

I hoped she showered him with kisses and told him it was the most exquisite necklace she had ever seen.

I hoped she immediately wore the necklace and didn't take it off.

I hoped she showed it off at Christmas dinner, for her extended family and friends to see.

Chances are, you won’t receive such a necklace this Christmas. (This happened years ago; surely, the com-

pany no longer makes such jewelry.)

But this Christmas, you may find yourself unwrapping a gift that takes your breath away — not for the gift inside, but rather for the love the gift represents.

who opened Saturday’s show with a solo rendition of “Please Come Home for Christmas.” Their 7-yearold son, Cameron, sang with the youngest group of performers.

Another highlight was the 13-member teen group’s performance to a mash-up Danny Hines synthesized from Journey’s classic rock hit “Don’t Stop Believin’” and Lady Gaga’s “On the Edge.”

There were no reality TV shows featuring amateur singers when Amy Deangelo Hines was a young, aspiring performer, but she

hopes some of the youngsters she’s training might go on to audition for “American Idol” or “X Factor.”

“It’s really a passion of mine,” she says. “I put my heart and soul into everything I do with those kids.”

And the program’s already growing. Hines said 45 students are signed up for the next session that starts in January, and she plans to start a young adults “Glee” group at iiT Factor.

For enrollment information, call (360) 499-6033.

Continued from page 1 above Mile High Gymnastics. Owner/instructor Amy Deangelo Hines said her program is “specifically geared to a ‘Glee’-type performing group.”

The 30 youngsters in three age groups — from South and Central Kitsap — who signed up for the initial session this fall sang and performed choreographed routines in the Christmas-themed program Dec. 17 on the stage at Marcus Whitman Junior High School.

Hines has a performing background that goes back to teaching herself to play piano in grade school, singing in an elite choir in high school, and sneaking into bars when she was underage so she could sing in karaoke contests.

In addition to preparing and directing all the youngsters’ performances, she showed off her own vocal talent Dec. 17, accompanied by guitarist Jeremia Alexander as she performed a song she wrote called “Yesterday.”

Her husband Danny, who will retire in September after 20 years in the Navy, arranges and composes all the music for performances in the iiT (stands for Idols in Training) show.

Meet the king of Northwest bubbly

By Andy Perdue And eric degermAn

W

hen it comes to celebrating, few wines in the Northwest are more affordable, available and worthy than the sparklers from Domaine Ste. Michelle.

This summer, Rick Casqueiro observed his 15th anniversary as winemaker of Ste. Michelle’s sparkling wine house in Paterson, Wash.

Remarkably, perhaps the turning point for Domaine Ste. Michelle came during Casqueiro’s third vintage with Ste. Michelle, just before the 1998 harvest.

Each summer, then-CEO Allen Shoup and then-

NW WINES marketing executive Ted They asked me what I wantBaseler would gather their ed to do, and I told them I winemakers wanted to change in Yakima for the base blends — I a weekend of wanted to make a golf, dining, traditional cuvée relaxation and with Pinot Noir and meetings.

Chardonnay, and “At that time leave the Riesling we were usout. If they wanted ing Riesling as to do Riesling by the primary itself, that’s fine, but Rick Casqueiro, if we were going to component winemaker at in the cuvée,” compete with the Ste. Michelle Casqueiro said. folks in California, “I remember we I said we needed to were in this small working with the restaurant, and Allen was traditional Champagne sitting across the table from grapes. me and Ted was next to me.

“A week later, Pete Bach-

man, who was my boss at the time, said, ‘OK, you got your way.’ ” The transition — and the timing — brought immediate results, and Casqueiro’s wines have earned gold medals and lofty scores from competitions and publications ever since.

Most of the Domaine Ste. Michelle wines can be found for $12 or less. At that price, they are wines to be enjoyed virtually every day of the week. But they also are among the most versatile and food-friendly wines on the market.

As you plan for the holidays, here are some of Domaine Ste. Michelle’s latest releases. They should be easy to find. n Domaine Ste. Michelle NV Blanc de Blancs, Columbia Valley, $12. This bubbly is crafted from 100 percent Chardonnay and is a pretty dry wine. It opens with aromas of buttered toast, yellow grapefruits, sandalwood, quince, tangerines and white pepper.

The palate shows off refined

bubbles backing up a plethora of flavors, including luscious citrus. This will pair beautifully with shellfish, chicken, pasta with a cream sauce or a plate of soft cheeses. n Domaine Ste. Michelle NV Brut Rosé, Columbia Valley, $12.

Rick Casqueiro’s pink sparkler opens with classic Champagne notes of toast, yeast, pecan pie, apricots and white strawberries. On the palate, it is bright and dry with flavors of Granny Smith apples, yellow grapefruits, lychee and peach pie.

We love this wine with oysters, as well as spicy Indian and Thai dishes. n Domaine Ste. Michelle NV Brut, Columbia Valley, $12. For this wine, Casqueiro blended Chardonnay (88 percent) with Pinot Noir to craft a bubbly that is remarkable in quality and value. It opens with exotic aromas of sandalwood, bay rum, lychee, fresh ginger, Gala apples and spun sugar. On the palate, the mild (1.19 percent) residual

sugar melds with flavors of watermelons, minerals and rangpur limes. We like this wine on its own as a celebratory sparkler, but we could also see pairing it with mussels, clams, calamari or oysters. n Domaine Ste. Michelle NV Extra Dry, Columbia Valley, $12. This is DSM’s sweetest bubbly and a favorite for weddings because it is pleasing to a broad range of palates (translation: Your grandma will love it). Like the Brut, it is a blend of 88 percent Chardonnay and 12 percent Pinot Noir, though the residual sweetness is a bit higher at 2.3 percent.

It opens with aromas of minerals, dusty apples, a hint of toasted marshmallows and premium vanilla ice cream. On the palate, it explodes with flavors of Jonagold apples, ginger, oranges, limes and pears. We love this wine with a wide variety of dishes, from sushi to barbecued pork to Kung Pao chicken.

Pearl Django performs Jan. 13 at Collective Visions BREMERTON — Pearl Django, one of America’s most respected and busiest Hot Club Jazz-style groups, performs Jan. 13, 7-9 p.m., at Collective Visions Gallery, 331 Pacific Ave., Bremerton.

Tickets are $20 in advance, $24 on the day of the concert. Call 377-8327.

The YWCA of Kitsap County is event co-sponsor.

Pearl Django, now in their 16th year, have performed all across America, in Canada, France and Iceland.

Strongly influenced by their namesake, hot jazz guitar pioneer Django Reinhardt (1910-1953), Pearl Django’s repertoire now includes many original com-

positions that transcend simple categorization.

Their music reaches out across the divides of taste to a wide variety of audiences.

The band’s fervent followers include fans of Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli, lovers of string music, bluegrass devotees, guitar enthusiasts, world music fans drawn to French and Gypsy accents, jazz buffs and aficionados of new swing music. Pearl Django packs in enthusiastic audiences at dancehalls and nightclubs, at folk music festivals and jazz festivals.

Pearl Django was voted Favorite Area Jazz Band in 2003 by readers of Seattle Weekly, which wrote, “Pearl

Pearl Django incorporates the music of hot jazz guitar pioneer Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli with American swing music.

Pearl Django / Contributed Django play(s) gypsy jazz … and they do it with such verve, skill and pleasure

that they’re pretty much irresistible to jazz and nonjazz listeners alike.”

A reviewer for 6Moons. com wrote of the group’s album “Under Paris Skies,” “If Paris is the city of love, then Pearl Django’s music is the flirtatious accompaniment.”

Pearl Django is Troy Chapman, guitar; Michael Gray, violin; Ryan Hoffman, guitar; David Lange, accordion; and Rick Leppanen, bass.

The group’s inception was as a trio in Tacoma in 1994.

The focus of Pearl Django was, and is, to incorporate the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli with American swing music. They quickly expanded to a quintet, adding a violinist and a third guitarist.

An interview on NPR’s “All Things Considered” in 2001 brought the group to national attention. In June 2002, Pearl Django performed at the prestigious Festival Django Reinhardt in Samois sur Seine, just outside Paris, France.

As of 2007, Pearl Django is working as both a quartet and a quintet (with accordionist Lange). All of the members are contributing original compositions to the band’s expansive repertoire.

They have released nine CDs to date.

Meet Inupiat artist Larry Ahvakana Jan. 6 BAINBRIDGE ISLAND — Bainbridge Arts and Crafts hosts a series of events with noted Inupiat carver Larry “Ulaaq” Ahvakana in January.

Bainbridge Arts and Crafts — 151 Winslow Way E, Bainbridge Island — opens a month-long exhibition of Ahvakana’s work Jan. 6. An exhibition reception is scheduled for that day, 6-8 p.m.

BAC then hosts an artist talk with Ahvakana on Jan.

7, 12:30 p.m.

Ahvakana is a contemporary Native master artist who works in alabaster, glass, marble, wood and other materials.

Born in Fairbanks, Ahvakana grew up in Barrow and Anchorage. He says that watching his mother, an accomplished skin sewer, was his introduction to the arts.

“All my life, I was surrounded by my culture and my people, the Inupiaq of

northern Alaska,” he wrote.

“The dances and songs of the Inupiaq tradition is the oral history of my people.

It is the emotional interpretation of our respect and involvement within the environment of the North Slope of Alaska.

“My work involves the use of many media and materials. Within my designs, I incorporate the sense of my cultural design, but the interpretation is very personal and the concep-

tual format, I hope, will give the viewer an idea of the Inupiaq tradition.”

He studied at Rhode Island School of Design, Cooper Union School of Art in New York City, and the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, N.M. His work is in private and public collections, including the Alaska State Museum, the Burke Museum, the Portland Art Museum, and the Institute of American

Instead, the commission proposes signage that clearly identifies stands that employ scantily clad workers, so the public can avoid them if desired.

Deputy county prosecutor Shelley Kneip said, “The problem seemed to be more about people inadvertently driving in without realizing what these stands are about.

The board advised us to focus on this.”

Commissioners decided to back off the county lewd conduct ordinance after learning that regulating what the baristas wear while working could violate First Amendment rights, specifically freedom of expression.

The proposed fuel allowance for Bremerton police for 2012 is $228,086. With 38 total vehicles in the fleet, that’s a yearly average of $6,002 per vehicle.

Reducing gas use to State Patrol levels would return $53,789.50 a year to the city’s operations budget.

“We are encouraging officers to become more efficient with gas usage.”

PARTNERS IN HEALTHCARE: PCHS and the “Safety Net.” Page 4 ■ ACCESS! Advocacy update. Page 3

December, 2011 Vol. 1, No. 1

PENINSULA COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES

To the Kitsap Community: It is with pride Peninsula Community Health Services (PCHS) launches our newest communications effort, ACCESS! Although we have provided primary care to Kitsap County for 23 years, to nearly 25,000 patients for over 80,000 visits annually, we find that many of you do not know who we are, what we do, or how to connect with PCHS. ACCESS! is being published in order to spread the word.

PCHS was founded in 1989 as a community clinic in downtown Bremerton and over the years we have now expanded to four medical sites, a dental pro-

gram, behavioral health and clinical pharmacy services for our patients, and proudly serve as the only “federally qualified health center” on the Olympic Peninsula.

We depend on a community of caring support— our patients, our staff, our volunteers, and those who contribute time, talent, and dollars to our efforts. We will be using this publication to inform, to solicit your commitment, and to ask for your advocacy. The challenges we face are many. Our funding comes from a combination of federal and state resources and those

resources have been cut every year for the past five years. We hope you find the content compelling and informative.

ACCESS! tells the stories, defines the way PCHS works, and outlines ways you can assist us in fulfilling our mission, “to provide access to affordable, compassionate, quality healthcare services for our community”.

Join us!

PCHS “Wheaton Way Clinic” to Open January 4, 2012 The PCHS Board of Directors made the bold decision to “grow” into the access and economic challenges facing us. Yes, although funding cuts loom, the numbers of our friends and neighbors who need access to health care grows with each passing day. Because of this

Poulsbo

increasing demand, we are opening our fourth medical clinic on January 4, 2012.

Appointments can be scheduled now by calling 360-3773776. The Wheaton Clinic will house both daytime appointments as well as our evening and Saturday “walkin” extended hours clinic.

The Bremerton Sixth Street Clinic will continue to provide medical and dental services from 7:30am-6:00pm. Class A Pharmacies and Behavioral Health Services will be provided to PCHS patients at both Bremerton sites as well as at our clinics in Poulsbo and Port Orchard.

Port Orchard

Later in the spring the community will be invited to an Open House at the Wheaton Clinic to see just how we are doing. The Wheaton Clinic is located at 2508 Wheaton Way, Bremerton on the ground floor of The Doctor’s Clinic.

Thank you

Cyndi Greenlee ARNP and Debbie Thompson, clinic coordinator, Wheaton Way Clinic

One stop for your healthcare needs Today’s pharmacists do so much more than just put pills into bottles!!!!

Pharmacists are now trained as Doctors of Pharmacy. “Pharmacy” now includes prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, herbal products, supplements, alternative supplements, and immunizations.

All PCHS clinic sites have full service pharmacies that are only available to PCHS patients. Our pharmacies have the only local access to certain government and drug company programs to get needed medications to patients at a very low cost.

Each of the pharmacies has scored in the highest category for patient safety during routine inspec-

Pharmacist Patricia Lambro, Josef Milde, with Dawn Dwyer tions. For PCHS patients, that means that our quality pharmacy staff can focus on your individual needs.

The provider and pharmacy teams are in constant contact to maximize your medication-related safety. Pharmacist can easily review your entire health-

care record to monitor for drug allergies and harmful drug interactions. They can meet with your provider immediately to change your medications for safety reasons, as well as for costsavings or insurance coverage.

PCHS pharmacists actual-

December, 2011

ly schedule many different one-on-one appointments with patients. Pharmacists can monitor certain medications, such as blood thinners, to be sure they are working and are at safe levels. They can help your provider and nurse with the management of complicated diseases, such as diabetes. Our pharmacists also work with several pharmacy schools to bring the cutting edge pharmacy research and practice to the entire healthcare team.

On the rare occasion that you cannot get a prescription filled at a PCHS pharmacy, rest assured that the pharmacy team is still working with your provider to monitor your medications and follow up plans for needed appointments and lab work.

Pharmacists are an integral part of your healthcare team at PCHS. Stop by any of our pharmacies today to see what services and benefits are available to you.

Access! Advocacy update “Protect patients and community health centers from potentially devastating cuts at the state and federal level.”

People would be forced to seek costlier care in emergency rooms, forcing the price tag for private insurance to continue to rise.

As Washington State and the nation continue to struggle through our economic crisis, we must stand together to protect health care. The decisions our policymakers deliberate will impact access to health care for the foreseeable future. This is an important time for supporters of community health centers to be heard!

We are asking you to reach out to our federal and state policymakers now and in the next few months to let them know the impact of cuts on PCHS patients and our communities. Ask them to support Community Health Centers like PCHS.

Imagine a future without community health centers: 720,000 people in communities across the state would lose their health care home and not receive the primary care they need to stay healthy and at work.

People would be unable to manage their chronic conditions, would delay needed care, and would likely end up with more serious and more expensive treatments.

Richard’s Story “Breakfast at Sally’s” Usually we do not identify PCHS patients (privacy rules and all), but this time, Richard LeMieux author of “Breakfast at Sally’s” and PCHS Board member, has given us permission to use both his name and his story. If you have not read “Breakfast at Sally’s”, please do so.

If you need a copy, let us know. That is the place Richard relates his journey…painful, disturbing, and finally triumphant as he fought his way back from the brink to a life of

good health and hope.

One of the last stops for Richard was our partner agency, Kitsap Mental Health Services where he worked tirelessly to wage war on his depression and despair. His story was complicated, as are many in the homeless community by addiction, depression, and a multitude of physical challenges. First he found his way to KMHS and then the counselor said to him, “Richard, go to Peninsula Community

BoArD oF DIreCtorS:

The heart of our healthcare family

Health Services, THEY ARE WAITING FOR YOU!” Today, Richard is on the lecture circuit in conjunction with the book— bringing a message of hope to homeless advocates and community activists across the country. When he is home, he still has Breakfast at Sally’s (the Salvation Army), and supports those agencies that reached out to him.

Thanks for your service on the PCHS Board of Directors, Richard.

Page 3

We invite the community to support healthcare for the homeless by contributing to “Willow’s Fund” named after Richard’s little dog, Willow….who cried out to him and kept him whole.

Peninsula Community Health Services, as a local not-for-profit corporation, is governed by volunteer members of our board of directors. In fact, most of them use our health care services. Having patient advocates on the governing board of directors allows PCHS to better know the needs of its patients.

The Board has several jobs and one is to make sure the company observes state and federal standards in many areas of health care. They also make decisions about our programs and services. One decision this year was to go ahead with a new clinic on Wheaton Way. Board members saw the need to expand our services in spite of the recession and decided to build the second Bremerton clinic.

PCHS Board members take an active interest in the welfare of PCHS patients.

They take our mission of “providing accessible, affordable, compassionate, quality health care services for our communities” to heart. The community and PCHS are fortunate to have these dedicated community members willing to serve.

VOLUNTEER and unlock your potential!

Volunteering with Peninsula Community Health Services allows you the freedom to donate your time and skills in various areas of the health care industry.

Volunteers also have the opportunity to participate in numerous educational and community outreach

events such as health fairs and fundraisers.

Why volunteer?

Dr. Edwin G. Tegenfeldt Patient Care Fund

December, 2011

Willow’s Fund

Peninsula Community Health Services is supported by the United Way of Kitsap County.

This year United Way is supporting the PCHS “Reach Out and Read” program expansion so we are providing age appropriate books for our kids to take home in both our medical and dental programs.

Your gift to the Willow’s Fund will be used to offset co-payments for eligible homeless in the community who receive care in one of our health centers.

Your gift to the Dr. Edwin G. Tegenfeldt Patient Care Fund provides support for ancillary services, such as x-rays, lab work and medications, for PCHS patients who cannot afford them.

Partners in Healthcare: PCHS and the “Safety Net” We hear a lot about the health care “safety net” these days. So, just what does that mean? In Kitsap County, there are many partners that comprise the safety net for our most vulnerable populations: PCHS (general health care and chronic disease management), food banks, shelters, church outreach programs, Coffee Oasis for homeless youth, YWCA Alive Shelter for domestic violence victims, Kitsap Mental Health Services (critical/chronic mental illness and co-occurring disorders), Hospital Emergency Departments, and sometimes even jail/juvenile correction services. The idea of a “safety net” is that before a person hits rock bottom that there will be an open, welcoming door for them to access services and

support.

PCHS serves as that safety net and as a medical home for 25,000 Kitsap neighbors.

At PCHS our patients may be low income, uninsured, or even “down and out”, AND our patients may be fully insured, retired military, Medicare recipients, working one or more jobs and contributing in many ways to this vital community.

We provide ACCESS for anyone seeking our services. We depend on private practices and medical groups throughout the area to support our patients’ specialty care needs, and we partner with Harrison Medical Center for hospital services. PCHS is just one partner in a caring network of service providers.

Reach Out and Read is a national program originally sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics to support children and their parents in all the fine ways that reading together can foster.

We believe that reading is an important, natural, and pleasurable part of daily life. From 3 years old through elementary school, children love books.

Our books are purchased through donations from staff, support by the United Way, and contributions from you.

A

festive party calls for a lively variety of delectable edibles.

These recipes give you some sweet and savory choices that will help spread the holiday cheer.

Scrumptious bites start with simple, flavorful ingredients — golden Calimyrna and dark purple Mission figs from California and Jarlsberg cheese. They also make great house gifts, wrapped in a colorful box or presented on a pretty serving dish.

Sweet, mouthwatering figs are not only packed with great taste, they’re full of fiber and essential nutrients, making them as good for you as they are good to eat.

The versatile taste and texture of Jarlsberg cheese is ideal for these appetizers.

Jarlsberg’s mild, nutty-sweet flavor and buttery creaminess makes it a perfect partner to figs and, along

with its excellent melting properties, adaptable to many sweet or savory dishes.

You can combine both ingredients in one easy sure-to-please appetizer: Make a slit in a fig and stuff with a piece of Jarlsberg.

Wrap with partially-cooked bacon (it should be a bit limp) and heat at 400°F just until bacon is crispy and cheese begins to melt.
