Island gets winter break By RICHARD D. OXLEY Staff Writer

The night was bare and cold when islanders went to sleep Tuesday evening, but by Wednesday morning they awoke to at least four inches of snow blanketing the island and its roads. While Wednesday was enjoyable for many island residents who got out for a walk or a slippery sled ride in the snowy scenery, the winter wonderland quickly turned into an icy mess causing roads to need continuous attention. The city’s Public Works Department spent Tuesday preparing for the coming snowstorm. Work crews were placed on 12-hour shifts and remained operating as such until the weather would subside. Four plows were

dispatched to clear island roads and apply salt or sand where needed. The plows tackled streets with a threetiered system, concentrating efforts first on roads that usually carry higher traffic such as Winslow Way or Miller Road, then moving onto residential roadways. “Everybody has to make that choice when they are going to drive on the road, and when they do they should use extra caution and make sure their vehicle is fully prepared,” said Public Works Director Lance Newkirk. “Don’t drive if you don’t have to. If you are coming across the sanding and plow operations, make sure you give a wide birth and let them do their job,” he added. The City Council’s sched-

uled meeting Wednesday night had to be cancelled. Since the study session’s agenda was considerably smaller than usual, the agenda items will be absorbed into next week’s meeting, according to City Clerk Roz Lassoff. Rick Petersen, store director of Town & Country Market, said he was thankful that staff was able to make it into work safely. The market was able to operate normal hours through the storm. “Definitely people stocked up early (before the storm) and seemed to be preparing for the weather,” Petersen said. “It’s been quiet the last couple days, mostly walkins. There haven’t been a lot of cars moving around. We really noticed there wasn’t a lot of ferry traffic on Wednesday, when people

come home after work.” The Bainbridge Island Fire Department was taken by surprise, not by the weather but by the low number of calls they received related to it. “We haven’t had a large number of weather-related incidents, maybe half a dozen,” said Fire Chief Hank Teran. “Which include accidents due to falls, cars in ditches, sled accidents and downed wires.” Prior to the storm the fire department put chains on their vehicles, and had extra staff and volunteers come on duty, including an extra paramedic. “(I) commend everybody for watching the weather and listening to the information that was put out, SEE WINTER STORM, A19

AROUND THE ISLAND HRB hires new executive director The island’s Housing Resources Board has hired a new executive director, Mark Blatter, a veteran of 20 years as a community development professional. Blatter, who replaces Ken Balizer, was director of real estate development for the Historic Seattle Preservation and Development Authority for

the past 10 years. He was hired last week after and extensive search led by HRB Chair Charlie Wenzlau. The University of Washington alumnus has worked on a wide range of affordable housing projects for both nonprofit and forprofit developers, including a stint as executive director of St. Andrews Housing Group in Bellevue. “I am appreciate this opportunity to join a hous-

ing provider as diverse and solid as Housing Resources Board,” he said. “I’m eager to help the community build the Land Trust organization and membership.” Balizer, who was hired to launch the organization’s signature project, Ferncliff Village, leaves HRB at the end of this week and will be moving back to New Mexico.

City removes block at T&C entrance Town & Country Market patrons may find it easier

to drive into their favorite local market after the removal of a cement block formerly located at west side of the market’s Winslow Way entrance. Since its installation, the block has dawned an orange construction cone on top of it, making it easier to spot. Still, it has been a topic of considerable consternation since it essentially narrowed the opening of the busy driveway. The city is aware of only one vehicle hitting the block in August.

Friday, January 20, 2012 • Bainbridge Island Review

Navigating the entrance is already difficult enough and city engineers became concerned about the cement block in regard to how drivers were entering the parking lot. Ultimately, they had the block removed. “We determined that given the way drivers are approaching the driveway at an extreme angle, it would be best to remove the cube and add lane

striping to guide drivers into the entrance,” said Chris Wierzbicki, the city’s community development administrator. “On a positive note, the narrowness of the new driveway does appear to be creating a safer situation for pedestrians using the sidewalk, which was our intention,” he said. The planned lane stripping has yet to be installed.

group moving on new park Rotarians zero in on transforming old Unocal site into park. Johnpaul Jones to facilitate design.

“we don’t know the cost yet, but there will be no public funding involved. Rotary has agreed to make significant contributions and we also hope to receive donations of a lot of in-kind services.”

By DENNIS ANSTINE Staff Writer

A task force led by members of the Bainbridge Island Rotary Club hope to have the old Unocal site turned into a passive park by the end of this year. Jim Chapel, a Rotarian who is leading the Park Project Task Force, said Wednesday that the major hurdles remaining include getting city permits and public input on the design of the park. Chapel said the task force met with state Department of Ecology officials recently to discuss the site, which has been off limits to the public for more than 20 years after petroleum hydrocarbons and other contaminants were discovered in the soil. “They said that they have more than 100 sites of old gas stations that they will be visiting and that it would be four or five years before they would get to ours,” Chapel said.

Jim chapel, lead, Park Project Task Force

“So, informally, they said they weren’t going to say we can’t do it now.” The site is owned by the city and Kitsap Transit, both of which paid $50,000 for the property in 2005. The previous owner was Unocal Corp., which is defunct after merging with Chevron Corp in 2005. The sale absolved Unocal of any responsibility for the polluted property and became the liability of the two public entities. Kitsap Transit gave unanimous approval for the park project earlier this week, said Chapel. The council, which indicated support for the project last June, likely will vote next week on a resolution authorizing the task force to proceed. The Bainbridge Island Metro Park

& Recreation District also has indicated it will help design the park and provide ongoing maintenance, at least, if it reaches agreement with the site’s owners. Chapel said Bainbridge architect Johnpaul Jones, who assisted in the design of the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial, has agreed to facilitate the project’s design process. “We don’t know the cost yet,” Chapel said, “but there will be no public funding involved. Rotary has agreed to make significant contributions and we also hope to receive donations of a lot of in-kind services.” Chapel said the task force consists of about 50 people, including board members of the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, which will be located just across Winslow Way from the projected park. The current concept is for a oneacre park that is low maintenance, including pathways and shrubs. He said the 13 monitoring wells that currently exist will remain. “We hope to get the permitting and the public’s input done during the next few months and construction completed this fall,” Chapel said. “Then have its dedication before the end of the year.”

frame. He argues that a performance bond was never actually required in the lease. He said that a performance bond would only be relevant if work wasn’t able to be completed within the 90-day time frame due to financial complications, and since work was finished with no financial barriers, the bond was not needed. Kennedy further said that essential details for the performance bond were not included in the lease. “Artful drafting requires that you provide a date and a remedy if the performance bond is not provided,” Kennedy said. “The city drafted a contract that provided for neither.” According to Kennedy, all required work on the building was completed in September, before the 90 days was up, except for the installation of the bulletproof glass. The glass was paid for, but had to be custom made. The building’s owner had no control over how long the glass would take to produce, deliver and install. The glass was finally

Though, as all work required by the lease was finished — which the city questions — further issues arose when Vestman decided to install a new heating system in the build-

ing. Installing a heating and cooling system was originally mentioned in the lease, but was removed. Vestman wanted to put one in anyway as the old system wasn’t holding up and was expensive to operate. “Formerly the heat was

done by wall heaters and was very inefficient, so staff had to use space heaters under their desks,” Kennedy said. When city officials saw the new heating system, they raised issues with the ventilation of the building.

Having More Retirement Accounts Is Not The Same As Having More Money. When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you have, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multiple accounts usually mean multiple fees. Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve all that. Plus, one statement can make it easier to see if you’re moving toward your goals. *Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

Still in love after 74 years of marriage By DENNIS ANSTINE Staff Writer

William Aupperle shrugs his shoulders when asked what he thinks about turning 100 years old next Tuesday. “It’s no big deal to me,” he said while sitting next to Ema, his wife of 74 years. “I don’t want any fuss to be made about it.” “Willie,” as Ema calls him, has enjoyed good health for most of his life but he never thought he’d live so long. “It just happened that way,” he said. “I had heart bypass

surgery many years ago after collapsing when I was working out on a treadmill next to a doctor. I’ve had no problems since then other than my eyes.” He suffers from macular degeneration and Ema, who turned 96 last November, has difficulty hearing. “It can be frustrating, he said. “but we help each other.” The Aupperles moved to Bainbridge Island from eastern Pennsylvania in 1997 after being urged to do so by her niece, Betty Noyes, who

lives on the island. “The people here are very nice and helpful,” he said. “For years I’ve been going the few blocks (from their home on Grow Avenue) to Town & Country Market three times a week with a walker, and people are always asking me if I need help. Very friendly.” He said he misses being able to see the displays in the stores and the flower arrangements along Winslow Way, but he still walks to the store at least once week. Aupperle came to America from Germany with his par-

ents in 1922, settling in New York City. He worked as a delivery driver for a large bakery in Manhattan until retiring in the 1970s. She grew up in Brooklyn. It’s obvious the Aupperles, who never had children, still enjoy each other’s company after all these years. “We still have each other,” he said, “so we’re happy.” Their niece said their relationship is amazing. “They still show incredible signs of being in love,” she said. “It’s the kind of romance that is out of novels.”

Letters HRB

More doors opened to our community “The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.” This quote resonates with me. I believe it’s true of individuals but also of entire communities. By providing housing people can afford, HRB has literally opened doors to folks who would otherwise not be able to be part of our community. Our actions have helped give our community depth, diversity and resources beyond measure. How do you put a value on the impact of keeping a beloved family in our community? Or welcoming a household from a different culture or life experience that wants to live on Bainbridge and share that experience with us? Multiply that by all the families we’ve helped, and it’s immeasurable. This week we bid farewell to Ken Balizer, our past executive director, who will be moving back to his home and family in New Mexico. We are grateful to Ken, who, like others before him, has helped HRB open new and exciting doors that will define the future of our community His impact on Ferncliff Village was especially significant. Ferncliff Village is the

Unocal site first homeownership development on a community land trust in Kitsap County and will provide homes for 24 families who might not otherwise be able to purchase a home. This project contains sustainable benefits on so many levels. Because the land is held by HRB in trust, the homes will always be a resource for affordable home ownership in the future. The development is also being built under the City of Bainbridge Island Housing Design Demonstration Project and as such meets high standards for green construction. The homes are priced (on average) approximately $60,000 under market value, and even better, with available subsidies a family earning as little as $30,000 may be able to qualify to buy one of these homes. As the door on Ken’s tenure at HRB closes, a new door is opening with the arrival of our new executive director Mark Blatter. Mark has already begun to organize one of HRB’s most significant events – the celebration of the completion of the first homes at Ferncliff Village. With Ken’s help, the first four new homes at Ferncliff Village are nearly complete. Now, with new leadership we will build 20 more.

Clean up area,then make it into a park Sometimes there are mutual goals set by different people or groups of people that lead to the same conclusion. The Unocal site at State Route 305 and Winslow Way is an example of this very thing. Some people, who appointed themselves to a committee last year, want to build a park on this land. Some of us want this site, which is listed on the Department of Ecologies Hazardous Site List, cleaned up before we let Unocal off the hook for the clean up and make it a park. Our island has inherited many toxic sites that we will either clean up or leave for future generations to clean up. My view is that letting any corporation off the hook for their responsibility in clean up today is not a fiscally wise decision for our future. The history is long and the details are important, but suffice it to say that there are a number of “wells” on the property that need to be tested and monitored for “free product’,” i.e., petroleum/gasoline pollution that still presents itself and runs into Eagle Harbor and

Friday, January 20, 2012 • Bainbridge Island Review

the Puget Sound. The testing has been neglected in the recent past and we must push our agencies and our council to kick it into gear so we can, eventually, ensure clean dirt. We should not pave or plant over those wells. There is a larger question for our community. Do we want to leave this mess to our children? Are we willing to let the polluters off the hook and accept the cost ourselves? I hope the answer to both questions is “no.” As we struggle to clean up the Puget Sound; ban substances [or bags] that we believe are harming wildlife; live more energy efficiently and generally be better stewards of the earth shouldn’t we make an adult decision to face pollution issues truthfully and stay on the path to clean-up? If we say “yes” then we will demand excellence and accuracy from our agencies in testing and reporting. If we do, we can have many pocket parks and green spaces that are a proud testament to a spirit of an honest assessment of facts, a complete program of cleanup and a willingness to leave this place in better shape that we found it.

Harrison looking for merger partner By JJ SWANSON jswanson@soundpublishing.com

Harrison Medical Center’s board of directors and executive team announced Jan. 17 that it has begun the process of shopping for a partnership with a larger regional healthcare system. The decision was not an easy one, said Scott Bosch, president and CEO. The board deliberated on the benefits of staying independent and becoming affiliated for over three years. The state’s budget crisis and nationwide reductions in federal Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates contributed to the decision to move forward with a possible merger. “There just isn’t enough money anymore to pay for the way we’ve always done things,” Bosch said. “We asked, ‘Should we confront the future standing alone or with someone bigger than ourselves?’” Harrison will put out a request for proposal from interested candidates by the end of the month. Healthcare

systems will respond with an outline of what they can offer Harrison if affiliated and terms of the merger by midMarch. Bosch explained that the board will not release names of candidates being considered, but said that they are “casting a net very wide.” If no candidates offer an attractive bid, Harrison could choose to maintain an independent position, Bosch said. He also said that the medical center is sound financially and maintains a strong market share. The board’s decision to strike now is to “do it when strong, when you have bargaining power.” A merger would ensure that Harrison can maintain certain programs such as oncology services, the new orthopedic building opening in Silverdale and open-heart surgery all within the region so patients do not have to drive to Tacoma or Seattle to get care. Bosch said that it is too early to know how a merger would affect Harrison employees.

jango Reinhardt, known as the father of “Gypsy Jazz,” was one of Europe’s most acclaimed composers and guitar players.

Reinhardt was born Jan. 24, 1910, and Sciacca and friends have used the mid-winter Django Reinhardt date as a time to pay tribute to the man who has Gypsy-band Ranger had such an influence on and the ‘Re-Arrangers’ them. announce its third “It’s remarkable that annual celebration of 60-70 years after the Django Reinhardt’s Birthday from 7-9:15 recordings, that he would p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21 still be the best,” Sciacca at Island Center Hall, said. “I’ve listened to all 8395 Fletcher Bay Rd. the contemporary artists in the genre, but who Free, but donations inspires me the most is accepted.

Spartans place third in wrestling meet By DENNIS ANSTINE Staff Writer

Bainbridge Island had a pair of weight-class winners and placed third in the 11-team Island Invitational last week at Paski Gym. The success gives coach Dan Pippenger hope that his team is ready to challenge O’Dea for the Metro League title when it’s held on Feb. 3-4 at Chief Sealth High in Seattle. “We’ve competed well Saturday and in the dual meets this season,” he said. “We have enough guys who can win and some who can place high. So we have a shot at it.” Sophomore Dylan Read (138) and junior Alex Hoover (145) were top seeds in their weight classes and dominated their opponents. Read won a 4-0 decision and Hoover pinned his final foe 78 seconds into the match.

“Dylan’s a great athlete and he’s really starting to improve his technique,” Pippenger said. “Alex also continues to get better with his technique.” Senior Alex Greiwe also reached the finals in his weight class (132) before being pinned late in the match. “He almost pinned his opponent early, but he got away,” Pippinger said. Team scores – 1. Port Angeles, 220, 2. Kingston 187.5, 3. Bainbridge Island 162, 4. Snohomish 143, 5. Forks 110.5, 6 Klahowya 108, 7. North Kitsap 106, 8. Sequim 81, 9. Mountlake Terrace 62, 10.

METAL RECYCLING NORTH KITSAP METAL RECYCLING Four years ago, owners Beth & Dennis Kommer weren’t happy with how much metal was ending up in landﬁlls, so with a dream and a plan, they started a small home-based metal recycling business out of their shop. As demand grew, so did their business and just recently they began leasing property adjacent to the Hansville Garbage Center. From the little tin of Altoids that was dropped off to the big truck loads that come in, they take it all, big & small!

Jan. 31, at the Bainbridge Library. One shot from a Serbian rebel launched a conflict that, although lasting only four bloody years (1914 – 1918), resulted in over 35 million casualties. It ended the era of monarchies and empires, changed the political maps of Europe and the Middle East, and established the United States as a world power. While it is often noted only for its supposed connections to World War II, it had far more farreaching effects than that war or any other in shaping the 20th and 21st Centuries.

Carol Jean Willits September 27, 1919 – January 11, 2012 Carol Jean Willits, 92, of Bainbridge Island, WA, passed away January 11 2012, at Harrison Hospital, Silverdale WA, after a brief illness. Carol is survived by her husband of 62 years, Don, also of Bainbridge Island, WA; her son Christopher, his wife Elizabeth, and their daughters Natalie and Grace, all of Bainbridge Island; and her son Patrick, his wife Debra, their daughter Samantha, and their son Orion, all of Ridgway, CO. Carol was born to Emery and Leda Fae Whitaker of Shell Rock, IA on September 27, 1919. She graduated from Waverly (IA) High School in 1937, and shortly thereafter left the family farm to move to California. After World War II, Carol moved to Pomona, CA to attend Thorn Business College. She met her future husband and life-long partnerto-be Don at the Willows Lounge in West Covina, CA in 1948. They married in Santa Maria, CA on December 17, 1949, and honeymooned in Santa Barbara, CA. Carol and Don began married life in Covina, CA, where they lived, worked, and raised their two sons, until retiring in 1986. They moved to Lake Wohink, near Florence, OR, in 1991, and to the Madison Avenue Retirement Center on Bainbridge Island in 2006. During their time in Covina, Carol worked and later managed Fidelity Land Escrow Co, Covina Branch, 1956-1968; managed South Hills Escrow Corp, Covina Branch 1968-1978; and owned and managed with her husband Don the Heritage Escrow Co, Covina, 1978-1986. Carol was a member of the Covina Women’s Club, the Eastern Star, the Florence, OR Elks Club, the Florence RV Club, and the Peace Harbor (Florence, OR) Hospital Guild. In her professional life, Carol was renowned for her diligent work ethic, extreme attention to detail, personal service, and highest standards of honesty. In her personal life, she and Don will be remembered for quietly and unceremoniously choosing to serve as benefactors to provide for the college education of one of their young employees, Lilly Lu, of Monterey Park, CA. Among her family and friends, Carol will be remembered for her always smiling and caring joie de vivre, and her never faltering love and devotion to those she loved. Carol literally never said a negative word about a friend or loved one. She was the queen of positive thinking. She will be remembered for her fondness for neatness, organization, white and blush wines, lobster, all things the color purple, her love for Don, and her unwavering love for her two sons. Indeed, the only thing on earth Carol loved more than her two sons were the women they married and the grandchildren they gave her. A memorial service celebrating Carol’s life was held at the Madison Avenue Retirement Center, Bainbridge Island, on Sunday January 15, 2012. TRIBUTE Paid Notice

Obituary Policy The Review prints brief obituary notices up to 125 words free of charge. Information including: date of birth and death; a brief biographical sketch, including marriage; career highlights; survivors; date of memorial services and place of interment; and the name of the mortuary handling arrangements. Because obituaries are news stories, all notices are subject to editing for style, content and clarity. Photographs are encouraged, but because of space limitations, there is no guarantee that they will be published. Obituaries typically appear in the first issue after the date of death. If space does not permit, a shorter notice of death will appear, including the date of services and a statement that the full notice will appear in the subsequent issue. Because obituaries are news, the Review does not “hold” notices for a later issue at the request of the family. For purposes of clear identification, the subject’s date of birth/age must be included. E-mail submissions to: obits@bainbridgereview.com

Paid Tribute Policy The Review also accepts paid “Tribute” notices where purchasers can word content exactly as they wish. E-mail submissions to: publisher@bainbridgereview.com

Lawrence Emmett Marler Jr. November 29, 1929 - January 13, 2012 “Never an ex-marine - Semper Fi” Lawrence (Larry) Emmett Marler Jr. was born in St. Louis, Missouri on November 20, 1929, as the second of what would be seven children to Lawrence Sr. and Golda Marler. In 1943 the family moved to a seventyseven acre corn and dairy farm in Bonne Terre, Missouri. Until Larry left for Doane College in Nebraska on a basketball scholarship, indoor plumbing was something he experienced only in town. His study of chemistry and love of basketball were interrupted by the Korean War. Larry volunteered to the Marines where he served with distinction from 1950 to 1954, gaining the rank of Lance Corporal and playing basketball for the Marine Corps Team. In 1952 while recovering in Bremerton from injuries sustained in Korea, he met and then eventually married, Diane Gwendolyn LaFond, his bride, “sweetie” and love of his life. Diane was a lieutenant in the Navy Nurse Corps, and continued to outrank Larry for nearly sixty, love-filled, happy years. They had three children, Donald Gene Marler of Seabeck, William Dale Marler of Bainbridge Island and Maura Kay Marler Pilet, deceased. In 1969 Larry and Diane found a hobby farm on the Hood Canal near the old town of Bangor where Larry taught his kids to enjoy (somewhat) farm chores. When not planting fruit trees, Larry taught math and science to thousands of students over 29 years at the PSNS Apprenticeship Program and Olympic Jr. College. Larry received his AA from Olympic Jr. College in 1956 where he also played basketball and coached the Rangers. The Marler Family funded the Maura Marler Pilet Nursing Scholarship for students graduating from Central Kitsap High School. Larry died at Hospice on his own terms and with the same quiet dignity he lived his life. Larry loved to Fish. Just before Larry died his sons were reading him Hemmingway’s “The Big Two-Hearted River:” The leader had broken where the hook was tied to it. Nick took it in his hand. He thought of the trout somewhere on the bottom, holding himself steady over the gravel, far down below the light, under the logs, with the hook in his jaw. Nick knew the trout’s teeth would cut through the snell of the hook. The hook would imbed itself in his jaw. He’d bet the trout was angry. Anything that size would be angry. That was a trout. He had been solidly hooked. Solid as a rock. He felt like a rock, too, before he started off. By God, he was a big one. By God, he was the biggest one I ever heard of. Larry is survived by his wife Diane and sons Don and Bill, and siblings Donna Mullins, Dorinda Simpson and Richard Marler. Seven grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and too many cousins to count also survive him. At Larry’s request there will be no memorial service. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Hospice of Kitsap County or to the Maura Marler Pilet Nursing Scholarship at Olympic College. TRIBUTE Paid Notice

Daniel Garcia January 25, 1929 - January 14, 2012

Theodore “Ted” Ferdinand Spearman Jr., 64, died peacefully January 3, 2012 at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with his wife and family at his side. He had been hospitalized since December 7 as a result of complications from a brain aneurysm. Born in Seattle on January 10, 1947, Ted was adopted by Theodore Spearman, Sr. (18961984) and Nevada Letitia Jane (Roberts) Spearman (18972002) of Yakima. A 1964 Davis High School graduate and Eagle Scout, he attended Yakima Valley College where he met Marie Annette Mullenneix, both 19 years old in 1966. Stanford University offered a track scholarship and Marie, knowing she had found her soul mate, followed Ted and watched him graduate in 1968. They married May 16, 1969 in Palo Alto, California. His parents’ ardent work for the NAACP guided his career of obstinate advocacy for justice. Ted received his Juris Doctor at the University of Michigan Law School in Ann Arbor in 1971, just a few months before their daughter Simone Letitia was born. Offered a partnership in a civil rights law firm in Detroit, Ted practiced criminal and civil law and enjoyed teaching as an adjunct professor at Wayne State University Law School. He successfully pursued civil litigation against the Detroit Police Department in multiple police brutality cases. In 1983 the family moved back to Washington, where Ted represented personal injury and civil rights clients, often joining as co-counsel on difficult cases around the state involving police misconduct. Making lifelong friends with many among Bainbridge Island’s “live-aboard” community, Ted was passionate in his efforts to protect their right to moor in Eagle Harbor. In 1998, Ted was a finalist for appointment as a judge to the United States District Court, Western Division. He was also appointed by the State Supreme Court to the Capital Counsel Qualification Panel, which oversees the development of attorneys qualified for appointment in death penalty cases. In 2004, he was appointed to the Kitsap County Superior Court by Governor Gary Locke and was twice reelected, unopposed. The Kitsap County community welcomed him as their first African American judge. Ted’s love of ideas, language and contemplation nearly steered him away from the law and toward graduate studies in philosophy, a lifelong fascination that guided his desire to be vigilant, to be observant and to “be here now.” A selfdescribed student of Dharma, he read voraciously, explored the emotional peaks and troughs of golf, loved music and the natural joys of his Island home. Above all else, Ted prized his wife and mate of 42 years, and their family: daughter Simone Spearman, son-in-law Jason Weaver, and granddaughter Saja Spearman Weaver, of Guerneville, California. Meditative and thoughtful, persuasive and kind, Ted lived the full life of a warrior poet. Memorial services will be held Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. at the Suquamish Community House, Suquamish, Washington. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Kitsap County Juvenile Youth Fund, the YWCA of Kitsap County’s ALIVE program or the Legal Foundation of Washington.

Saturday, January 14 marked the peaceful passing of Dan Garcia at Wyatt House on Bainbridge Island, where he had been a resident for the past two years. Dan was born in Sacramento, Calif. in 1929, the fourth and last child of Cornelio and Consuelo (Melendez) Garcia. Dan and his siblings Manny, Jess and Mary grew up in Chicago, Ill., where Dan attended St. Ignatius High School, and received a rigorous education that included Greek and Latin. Dan adored his older brothers, who both saw action during World War II, Manny as an Air Force pilot and instructor, and Jess as an Army paratrooper. Dan attended college and then Loyola University Dental School, where he met and fell in love with Judith Mejias of San Juan, Puerto Rico, the only female student in the class of 400 students. Judith and Dan married in Chicago, and after his Army service during the Korean War, they settled in San Juan, where they opened a dental practice. Dan called his time in Puerto Rico “an eternal vacation” and in 1956 and 1957, welcomed daughters Marla and Denise. In 1964, the family moved to Boston, Mass. so that Dan and Judith could attend Tufts University Dental School for post-graduate degrees. Dan also attended the Harvard School of Public Health, where he earned an additional degree. He became part of the faculty of Harvard Dental School and a research scientist, focusing on the development of permanent, artificial tooth material. In 1975, Dan and Judith divorced. Judith preceeded Dan in death in 1999. Upon retirement, Dan moved to Spain, where he spent 14 of the happiest years of his life. In Sitges, he met Isabel Erni, of St. Gallen, Switzerland. Fluent in six languages, Isabel shared a love of classical music and Spanish culture with Dan. They moved to Sant Cugat, near Barcelona and spent many years enjoying trips to all parts of Spain, as well as Switzerland, Germany, Portugal, Italy and England. Dan was able to realize a lifelong dream, when he and Isabel attended a concert at the Berlin Philharmonic hall, “an ultra modern architectural gem, with perfect acoustics” in Dan’s words. In 2007, Isabel passed away, and Dan returned to the United States, eventually settling on Bainbridge Island, with daughter Denise, son-in-law Eric Schmidt and granddaughter Lina Schmidt. Dan loved his years on Bainbridge Island. An avid reader and student of history - particularly WWII and the Vietnam War - Dan spent many hours at the library. He enjoyed numerous concerts at Benaroya Hall and loved to poke around the shops of Winslow. In 2008, Dan, along with family and friends, took a last trip to Barcelona, revisiting his favorite tapas bars, shops, museums and archeological sites. Throughout the two weeks, he regaled us with stories, with his inimitable dry wit. It was a whirlwind trip and one that we who were fortunate to accompany him, will never forget. Dan leaves behind his daughters, Marla and Denise, son-inlaws Steve Ehler and Eric Schmidt, and beloved granddaughters, Emily Ehler and Lina Schmidt. Dan was very proud of his extended family, including numerous nieces and nephews. Our heartfelt appreciation goes to the staff at Wyatt House for their tender and compassionate care over the past two years. In lieu of flowers, please make any donations in Dan’s name to the Bainbridge Island branch of the Kitsap Regional Library. Sign the online Guest Book at: www.cookfamilyfuneralhome.com.

and not taking any unnecessary chances going out if they didn’t have to,” said Assistant Chief Jared Moravec. “We haven’t had lots of calls for car accidents. I don’t think a lot of people have been going out – they heeded the warnings.” Puget Sound’s ferry service went uninterrupted. The biggest challenge was commuting to and from the terminals, but the ferries remained on their normal schedules. “We are experiencing lighter than normal traffic, of course, but everything has been working really well,” said WSF Communication Director Marta Coursey. “We’ve had some delays in getting salt and gravel to the terminals, but in terms of providing service it’s gone really well.” While the ferries operated efficiently and on time, riders found that once back on land, roads were just as bad in Seattle as they were on Bainbridge — perhaps worse. The terminals were still experiencing some icy conditions Thursday afternoon. The City of Seattle sent a fleet of 30 plows and de-icing trucks to clear roadways. But with approximately 750 miles of roads to address, it was recommended that commuters refrain from driving on Seattle roads. “The (Seattle) downtown streets are very icy,” Coursey said. “So we are still advising that if people don’t have to travel, they stay home.” Coursey’s office overlooks part of downtown and she got a bird’s eye view of the icy roads. Gov. Chris Gregoire declared a state of emergency Thursday in response to the snowstorm and icy conditions. More than 100,000 Puget Sound Energy customers were left powerless elsewhere in the western part of the state. As of deadline, there have been no power outages on the island.

You don’t have to be Scottish to enjoy the music, the poetry (or the haggis) BY ERIN JENNINGS Kitsap Week

f “Auld Lang Syne” has been referred to as “the most famous song that no one knows the words to,” then is the songwriter just as obscure? Not at all. Robert Burns, the Scottish poet and lyricist who penned the famed song that is sung—or at least muddled through— each New Year’s, is celebrated annually around his Jan. 25 birthday. Robert Burns Nights are held across the globe, including here in Kitsap. Burns, who lived in Scotland from

1759-1796, is known as “Scotland’s favorite son.” The farmer turned poet wrote about daily life on the farm, relationships, and Scottish fare. He turned many of his poems, like “Auld Lang

Syne,” into songs. Other popular works by Burns include “A Red, Red Rose” and “To a Mouse, on Turning Her Up in Her Nest with the Plough.” See BURNS, Page 2

ROBERT BURNS CELEBRATIONS

Continued from page 1 So who was he and why all the fuss? “Such as the case with many people, Burns became more famous after he died,” said Larry Dugan, who for the past 11 years has organized the Robert Burns’ Night held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Bremerton. “In the 1800s, people realized that he had been quite talented and then began to celebrate his life and his works.” Burns’ Nights involve all things Scottish: bagpipers, single malt scotch, and of course the food widely associated with Scotland, haggis. For those of you who haven’t eaten haggis, Dugan describes it as “All the not-so-good pieces left over from the sheep, mixed together with oatmeal and ground up. Traditionally, it’s served in a sheep’s stomach.” As you may imagine, demand for haggis isn't as high in the U.S. as it is in Scotland.

team, said haggis is easily found in shops across Scotland. Just like we have our salisbury steak frozen TV dinners, in Scotland they sell frozen haggis meals. Since living in the U.S., Ritchie has had to settle for eating it from a can. The USDA restricts importing the fresh delicacy from its native origin. “I love it. It’s fantastic,” Ritchie said. “Some people only eat it on Burns’ night,

but I eat it year round.” For the Bremerton event, Dugan orders 15 pounds of haggis from a butcher in Oregon, who is aptly named Charles Lamb. “It’s usually all gone after 130 people show up. There isn’t a crumb left,” he said. “Somebody must like it.” But it isn’t Dugan. “I don’t eat it, but I provide it,” he said with a chuckle. A momentous part of the

night is the Presentation of the Haggis. It’s a ceremonial affair in which the haggis is brought in on a silver platter. Sword and flag bearers flank the haggis carrier. A poem will be recited, paying homage to the unique food. And if haggis isn’t your thing, other Scottish foods such as peas porridge and shortbread will be available for sampling. A traditional shot of scotch will be served

Dinner specials begin at 5 p.m., live music starts

to toast the evening. Dugan said some people choose to pour their scotch over the haggis, which apparently improves the flavor. Or at least makes it palatable. The entertainment for the night will be provided by the Tacoma Scots Pipe Band, which is the bagpipe band for the Pierce County Sheriff 's Department. Celtic singer Red McWilliams of Puyallup will sing and play guitar as well. Throughout the evening, poems by Burns will be read. And speakers will banter back and forth as toasts are given to the “lassies” and the “laddies.” Dugan is amazed at the large number of people who attend the event wearing kilts and tartan dresses— though dressing in plaid isn’t a requirement.

Meet the author of gripping war memoir Jan. 29 B arely four months after his first mission in World War II, U.S. Army Air Force pilot Lt. James Keeffe Jr. was shot down over Nazi-occupied Europe. “There I was standing on the ground in enemy occupied Holland,” Keeffe remembers. “I had just bailed out of my crippled heavy bomber and had no idea what had happened to my crew. I was hungry. I’d had only two hours of sleep in the past 36 hours. My face was smeared with mud and blood. And I was just four days away from my 21st birthday.” Keeffe was clever enough to evade capture. In “Two Gold Coins and A Prayer,” written by his son, James H. Keeffe III, he still vividly remembers seeing the boots of a German policeman who was part of the contingent going door to door searching for him near the small town of Papendrecht. Hours later, an almost comical encounter with a Dutchman in whose tool shed the downed American was hiding, leads to five months of friendship and help from members of the Dutch Resistance.

veteran, living in Bellevue, was visited in September by a Jewish woman with whom he was in hiding 67 years ago. It came about because Keeffe’s oldest son, James Keeffe III, wrote and published his father’s astounding war adventure — a story that now has a new ending. Lt. Keeffe’s life enters

an odd, almost peaceful limbo as he evades capture as a secret guest in a series of brave citizens’ homes. The Underground creates false identity papers for Lt. Keeffe, labeling him a “deaf and dumb” basket maker. So, unlike many he encounters in hiding, Lt. Keeffe is able to go out and about in wartime Rotterdam — as long as he doesn’t speak. The airman’s determination to return to England and rejoin the Allied air battle leads to a doublecross that lands him in the infamous German POW camp, Stalag Luft III. One twist of fate after another unfolds in this war story which follows the resourceful pilot back to his family in Seattle and to post war reunions with his surviving Dutch “families” and friends.

Silk is a gorgeous silver tabby ten year old Pixie Bob mix

She came to us last summer after her owner passed away. Silk had lived in a home with many other cats. Unfortunately she didn’t have much human contact. When she first came to us Silk was very leary of us and hid most of the time. She didn’t really like to be petted or have anything to do with us unless food was involved. Silk has had a change of heart. Patience and petting has shown her that people are good and it can be fun to be around us. Silk will be at the Poulsbo Petco this week waiting to meet her new family.

FEET FIRST

Dr. David M. Gent D.P.M.

Heel Spurs. Any medical term with the word “spur” in it sounds uncomfortable, especially if that spur is on the bottom of your foot. A heel spur is a bony growth on the bottom of the heel bone. It can produce pain when standing, walking or putting any other kind of pressure on the heel. It is caused by calcium deposits made because tissue on the bottom of the feet pulls away from the heel. The condition is more common in people with flat feet and high arches, and women are more likely to suffer from it than men because of the types of shoes women tend to wear. Your podiatrist can recommend orthotics and/ or surgery to alleviate discomfort from heel spurs. New patients welcome and seen on the same day. Early & late appointments available. Most insurances accepted.

Citrus Fair Wine Competition, which was restricted to wines from the region around northern Sonoma County. In 2000, the San Francisco Chronicle joined with the competition as the naming sponsor, and the partnership with that publication has helped raise the profile of the judging. During that time, it has gone from a California-only competition to including the Pacific Northwest and now the entire United States. In addition to the judging, there also is a public tasting, which is Feb. 18 at Fort Mason in San Francisco, near the Golden Gate Bridge. For complete results from the competition and more information on the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, go to www. winejudging.com. We judged in the competition and tasted about 1,000 wines between us. Here are a few of our favorites: n Columbia Crest 2009 H3 Cabernet Sauvignon, Horse Heaven Hills, $15.

he largest judging of American wines just keeps getting bigger and better. In early January, the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition took place in Cloverdale, Calif., where it has been held for nearly 30 years. About 60 professional wine judges blind-tasted 5,675 wines from 25 states during a four-day period. From Washington, Barnard Griffin’s 2011 Rosé of Sangiovese won the sweepstakes award for best pink wine. This is the second straight year for the Richland winery to win this category. Astonishingly, it is the seventh consecutive year this wine has won a gold or better at the Chronicle competition. Upon hearing the news, owner/winemaker Rob Griffin expresses surprise because winter damage caused him to change vineyard sources from the wines that had won the prior six years. In all, Northwest wines won eight best-of-class awards, as well as nine nine unanimous double golds and 51 gold medals. The judging started in 1983 as the Cloverdale

Manners matter in electronic conversations

t used to be that whenever an email from “Carl” showed up in my inbox, I would cringe. “Conceited Carl,” I nicknamed him, for his messages were frequently terse and borderline rude. It is common these days to correspond by email with people you have never met. Often your first impression is based on the tone and language used in emails. And Carl was someone I didn’t care to meet. But it so happened I did. And he was nothing like the person I imagined. He was kind, gentle and humorous. So that got me wondering. In this world of email and text messaging, where facial expressions and voice inflections are lost, how do

ASK ERIN By ERIN JENNINGS you make sure you come across the way you wish, and not give off the wrong impression as Carl clearly did?

GUIDELINES FOR SENDING THE RIGHT MESSAGE

Don’t use sarcasm — Some people have a difficult time deciphering sarcasm

face to face, let alone in an email. Stay away from using it, especially with people you don’t know well. Choose your words wisely and don’t use jargon. “Your presentation was sic.” (“Sic” is slang for great, but if the reader didn’t know that, he or she would think the presentation was awful.) Emoticons (the little smiley faces) are OK to use with friends and family, but are unprofessional to use in business emails. Watch your use of punctuation and capitalization. When you overuse exclamation points, the reader can’t decipher what is important! It makes your message difficult to read!!! WHEN YOU FREQUENTLY CAPITALIZE WORDS, YOU COME ACROSS AS IF YOU ARE YELLING AT THE READER. If you are sending a

sensitive email (such as airing your grievances about your child’s teacher to the principal) write the email, but don’t hit the send button. Let the message marinate for a few minutes or hours and then revisit it. When you reread it, check to make sure you aren’t being overly harsh. This is also a good time to have a family member or good friend read the email to get a fresh perspective prior to sending it. Remember with email and text, there is no such thing as confidentially. It’s very easy for the recipient to forward your message to others. Use caution in what you write. Even if the person doesn’t intentionally forward the message, it could be read by others who are near the computer screen. Google has a setting to

prevent, ahem, emailing after you’ve had a few too many alcoholic beverages. In the settings menu you can enable “Mail Goggles” which makes you answer a series of math problems to check how clearly you are thinking. Based on your answers, it will either allow the message to be sent, or will save it and tell you, “Water and bed for you. Try again in the morning.” Use this rule of thumb: “What would my grandmother think?” If grandma would be aghast at your language or subject content, rewrite it, making it more “PG” friendly. Proofread for spelling and other errors. The slightest typo can cause confusion. My favorite example of this comes from my stepmom. After her good friend died, my stepmom decided to make her wishes known.

She sent this email out to her family: “I’m dying I want to be comfortable and have a bed by the window.” As you can imagine, her email set off a big flurry of concern, as she neglected to include a very important word at the beginning of her message: WHEN. Be wise with what you send, as cyberspace is a vast and infinite place. Once it leaves your computer, there is no retrieving it. If you do realize you’ve made a mistake in your message, immediately send out a corrected version with the word “correction” in the subject line. After all, despite all the technology that surrounds us, we’re human. — Ask Erin is a feature of Kitsap Week. Have a question? Write Ask Erin, Kitsap Week, P.O.

Know an animal who’s a community hero? Nominate ’em for this award

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND — Red carpet award ceremonies aren't just for people anymore. This spring, a local awards presentation will recognize heroic acts and heroic service by some of the most giving members of our local communities — dogs, cats, or other household pets. An elegant, red carpet presentation, Spotlight on Community Hero Pets, will honor recipients in six categories, including search and rescue, law enforcement, therapy, military, and service animals.

Nominations are being accepted for the May 19 awards, to be presented in conjunction with the annual PAWS of Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap benefit dinner auction. “Every day, these unsung heroes give 110 percent in service to humanity,” PAWS Executive Director Mark Hufford said. “They keep our ferries safe, apprehend criminals, find lost hikers, guard our military arsenals, make ordinary living possible for differently-abled people, offer therapeutic services to seniors, and even keep us safe from

intruders in our homes.” Defining heroism is challenging, but stories from recent headlines jump to mind — the search and rescue dog who discovered the body of the killer of a National Park Service

ranger, restoring calm to a frantic community; the law enforcement dog who apprehended a suspect who allegedly stole the gun of a Bainbridge police officer. “While most of these are considered ‘working animals,’ one category will also honor the most heroic service by a companion animal (family pet),” Hufford said Anyone can nominate an animal they deem worthy of this recognition, and there is no cost to submit a nomination. Acts of heroism, or heroic service, must have occurred within the last three years. Nominations consist of an application form and photo submission. nomination deadline is April 1.
