Friday, January 6, 2012 • Bainbridge Island Review
around the island Memorial tree at library vandalized A small tree in the Bainbridge Library’s garden was cut down and stolen during the week leading up to Christmas. The tree was a memorial tree dedicated to a local family and was planted just one year ago. Members of the volunteer group Friday Tidy, who oversee landscaping for the library, noticed the tree’s remaining stump as they were performing maintenance on the morning of Dec. 23. The group intends to plant another tree in its place. The marks on the stump show that it was cut down using a saw, making a clean cut, and not hacked away. The volunteer group visit the library each Friday, so the incident could have occurred anytime between Dec. 16 and Dec. 23.
DUI patrols arrest 144 during holiday season The results of the recent Holiday DUI enforcement
campaign conducted in Kitsap County from Nov. 24, 2011, through Jan. 2, 2012 included a large increase over last year’s event. In Kitsap County, 144 motorists were stopped and arrested for driving under the influence (DUI). Statewide, law enforcement officers arrested 3,812 drivers for DUI. Last year during the same time period, officers in Kitsap County on routine and extra patrols arrested 83 people for DUI. Bainbridge Island and other police departments in the county, the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office and the Washington State Patrol participated in the extra emphasis patrols, with the support of the Kitsap County Traffic Safety Task Force. The patrols were funded by a grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission. During 2010, drinking drivers killed 188 people, representing more than 40 percent of the 458 people who died on Washington’s roadways.

Mary Gleysteen, who worked at Eagle Harbor Book Company for half of its 40 years, has retired from bookselling. “There is no doubt that Mary Gleysteen is the best bookseller ever to walk the boards of our store, and we will miss her terribly,” John Wilson wrote on behalf of the staff in the store’s December newsletter. Gleysteen’s influence was also recounted in “Saluting A Veteran Bookseller” by Northwest Book Sellers’ Brian Juenemann, marketing director for the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association (www.nwbooklovers.org).
