What’s in a name? Who wants to know By

TOM TYNER

Everyone knows that Bainbridge Island is a sophisticated and worldly city with an international, jet-setty sort of flavor.

Our fair island’s global and multicultural influences are revealed through the names of our neighborhoods and streets, including New Sweden, Finn Hollow, Torvanger, Bjune, New Brooklyn and Venice.

However, in all fairness and in the interest of full disclosure, it should be noted that our Venice neighborhood was named after California’s Venice rather than the real Venice, which I believe is still in Italy and remains best known

for its most famous contribution to world culture – the Venetian blind.

If a person were interested in learning a little more about the rich and colorful history of Bainbridge Island, he or she might start by reading Katy Warner’s seminal “A History of Bainbridge Island,” or Andrew Price’s excellent “Port Blakely – The Community Captain Renton Built.” A person looking to see a little history of the island might also pay a visit to the Bainbridge Historical Museum.

At least that’s what a person would do if he or she cared about such things as historical accuracy, facts and truth. Persons

with a lower threshold for what constitutes “accuracy,” a more fluid concept of the “truth,” and less of an obsession for “facts,” might just keep reading.

It is well known that one of the earliest white explorers to the Pacific Northwest was Capt. George Vancouver in 1792. In fact, it was Capt. Vancouver who gave the Puget Sound its name, naming the Sound after his shipmate Peter Puget. (Aren’t we all glad that Peter’s last name was not Pimpleknocker or Pisquonatonohoey.)

Some years later, a U.S. Navy expedition under the command of Lt. Charles Wilkes further explored the inland waters of the Puget Sound and named many of the landmarks he found there. In Lt. Wilkes’ day, it was customary for explorers to name places they discovered after their fellow crew members, patrons, sponsors or superiors – an honorable and quaint custom that has now largely been replaced by naming important American landmarks after Donald Trump.

Bainbridge Island itself was named after Commodore William Bainbridge, a naval captain in America’s first war with Tripoli in 1812. As I recall, we won that one too.

Lt. Wilkes conferred names on a number of island landmarks, most of which remain with us today. Agate Pass was named after his expedition’s artist, Alfred Agate. Rich Passage was named after his botanist, William Rich. Chuck’s Barbershop was named after the ship’s barber.

Point White was named after early settler James White. And Port Madison, was, of course, named after U.S. President James Madison and his wife, noted pastry chef Dolly Madison.

actually named after U.S. Naval officer Henry Eagle.

The existence of nearby Wing Point and Bill Point give some support to the theory that the harbor was named after eagle the bird rather than Eagle the sailor, but historical photographs of Admiral Eagle do reveal an impressive beak, and therefore neither theory can be entirely ruled out.

But the origin of all the island’s place names is not quite so clear.

Local historians agree that Battle Point was named after a famous battle between Chief Kitsap’s tribe and an off-island tribe from the north. But it’s unclear if the battle was fought over territory, revenge, naming rights for a new casino, or Chief Kitsap’s ultimately unsuccessful plan to light the ancient Battle Point lacrosse fields with tiki torches and bonfires.

For example, there remains to this day some question about whether Eagle Harbor was so named because the harbor resembles an eagle, or whether it was

It’s generally agreed that Winslow itself got its name from early settler Winslow Hall. It’s less well-known that before Winslow was Winslow, it was known as

Madrone in honor of the trees that once grew there before they were all cut down by loggers.

Many people assume that High School Road was so named because the high school was located there. But recently uncovered historical records indicate that the road was there before the high school was, and was actually named after homesteaders Ebner School and Almira High, pioneering island scotch broom farmers from the late 1800s.

Interestingly, the Manzanita neighborhood was also named for the madrone tree, or would have been named for the madrone tree if the person selecting the name for the area had been able to correctly tell the difference between a madrone tree and a manzanita shrub.

Early islanders appear to have had a fixation about naming the island’s neighborhoods in geographic relationship to other neighborhoods. For example, we have South Beach, Lynwood Center, Port Blakely and West Blakely. We also have Port Madison, West Port Madison, and East Port Madison, which is better known as Seattle.

The origins of some island place names are remarkably obscure. Did you know that Restoration Point at the end of Country Club Road was named by Capt. Van-

Or that Highway 305 was named after beloved island pioneer Phineas Highway, who was so beloved that he had already had 304 other highways named after him

In fact, for years that particular road was known as School-High Road. When, entirely by coincidence, the high school was constructed on the street many year later, the City Council, after 16 months of meetings, focus groups, retreats, public workshops, executive sessions, backroom arm-twisting contests and two referendums, voted 2 to 1 with four abstentions in favor of renaming the street “High School Road” in the hope that most students would be able to find their way to class daily without a map.

Did you also know that Wyatt Way was originally named “What Way” in tribute to the classic Abbott and Costello “Who’s On First” comedy routine? Until its name was officially changed to Wyatt Way, the following hilarious exchange would occur each time an off-islander lost in Winslow asked directions to the South End.

Visitor: “What’s right?”

What.”

Local: “Yes.”

Visitor: “I don’t know what, that’s what I’m asking you.”

Visitor: “Yes, what?”

Local: “That’s correct.”

Visitor: “What’s correct?”

Local: “Yes, What is the correct road.”

Visitor: “Can you tell me how to get from here to Lynwood Center?”

Visitor: “That’s what I’m asking you, what is the correct road?”

Local: “Sure. You go west on What Way.”

Local: “That’s correct, What is the correct road. Only you go left, not right”

Visitor: “What way?”

Visitor: “You go left on what?

Local: “Yes, that’s right.”

Local: “That’s right. You go left on

As entertaining as these exchanges were for locals, many visitors simply gave up trying to get to the middle and south parts of the island, which explains the diminished social skills and aversion to strangers that characterizes so many South Enders and Lynwood Center residents.

The origins of some island place names are easy to figure out. Toe Jam Hill Road is so named because it is on such a steep hill that early settlers walking down it

Bainbridge Island Almanac 2012 would almost always jam their toes into the tips of their carved Douglas fir wooden shoes worn by most early homesteaders before Birkenstocks, Crocs and Teva’s became more widely available.

The Creosote neighborhood took its name from the old creosote plant located there, which would sort of be the equivalent today of naming a neighborhood after its most notorious serial killer.

On the other hand, what is today known as Yeomalt was previously known as Dead Man’s Bar, a good example of a community trading up in the place name game.

Pleasant Beach was so named because it was, in fact, a pleasant beach, home to a nice hotel, saloons, and picnic grounds with a pavilion where prizefights and baseball games were held. To this day, Pleasant Beach remains pleasant and beachy, but is sadly lacking in either prizefights or saloons.

Other historically descriptive names of island streets include Holly Farm Lane, Coyote Farm Lane, Cherry Orchard Lane, Walden Lane and Laughing Salmon Lane, all of which goes to show that if you are willing to call your street a lane, the city will let you name it anything you want.

The island’s colorful history lives on in the names of many of its streets and neighborhoods, and that’s a good thing.

Where actual local knowledge about the origins of a name have been lost to the dim mist of antiquity, it’s nice to know you can count on somebody to pull a little history out of their ear to fill in the gap. See you on Main Street.

Private ‘street’ now a favorite hangout By

DENNIS ANSTINE

L

inda Brandt’s moment of truth came on a Saturday a couple of years ago when she saw a pizzadelivery car nearly smack a mother of two pushing a double-wide stroller down Madrone Lane.

“I was terrified because the guy almost hit her and the kids,” she said. “I came home and told my husband (James Brandt) that we needed to something about it.

“He said, ‘You own the street, so shut it down.’ I bought four tables and eight chairs, put some orange cones at one end and a pot of flowers at the other, and closed it from 5:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays only,” she said.

Eventually, spurred by the need for relief from the last year’s Winslow Way reconstruction project, the private property dubbed Madrone Lane, remained opened daily for 12 hours when the Framer’s Market is open (April 15 to Oct. 15). And then the Brandts, who bought four buildings and the nearby “street” sight-unseen in 1989, decided to keep it open year-around after an overwhelming positive response to an informal community survey.

“We are so lucky to have this spot,” said Andrea Mackin, executive director of the Bainbridge Island Downtown Association.

“It has become a unique gathering place where locals congregate with friends and family, almost like a small city park.”

The street, which has become a favorite location for locals and tourists, also served as a focal point during the December holidays when the Brandts placed a large Christmas tree at the north end of the space.

The retired couple’s move here from Palo Alto, Calif., has a serendipitous feel to it, considering that Madrone Lane is now surrounded by three of the island’s most successful small businesses – Blackbird Bakery, Churchmouse Yarns and Tea, and Mora

Sun worshippers find Madrone Lane a particularly relaxing environment.

Ice Cream. And early in 2012 it became the home of Marché, a restaurant owned

by Greg Atkinson, one of the Northwest’s most popular chefs.

She tells the story of some young adults drinking beer at one of the tables, which have a “no-purchase-required” policy for those sitting at them.

But it hasn’t been all about good luck.

“I approached them about drinking there, and this guy said, ‘Hey, this is a private street.’ That’s true, I said, but you can’t drink on this street because it’s my street.

We all laughed about it.”

“The previous tenants were mostly services,” she said, “and it was my goal to get some retail down there. Fortunately, I could hand-pick people and kind of make them prove what they could do because we were still living in Palo Alto. That paid off because Churchmouse, Blackbird and Mora are all one of a kind.”

The connecting arterial was known then as Harold’s Square, named after renowned Northwest architect Hal Molstad, who “sort of created the street” when the buildings were constructed in the 1960s.

It was never, however, an actual city right-of-way, though the owners allowed its use as an option after the city bought property up the hill that now contains City Hall and Bainbridge Performing Arts.

“Some people think it’s owned by the city and others know it’s private property,” she said, “but I can tell you who does all the work.”

She cleans tables and chairs (left overnight) and opens the island’s facsimile of an Italian piazza early every morning, then closes it at 6 p.m. sharp.

Still, she knows how much the community has enjoyed the space, especially during the nine-month period of the construction project.

“It’s all been a very positive experience for the community, including the owners and their tenants,” Brandt said.

Mackin said the space has the feel of a town square piazza in Europe.

“Teenagers and 20-somethings feel like they have a place to go and connect with friends,” she said. “There’s a special sense of community ownership that keeps it tidy and trouble-free.”

Island’s Historical Museum has much to share By

CONNIE MEARS

T

he Bainbridge Island Historical Museum saw a 40 percent increase in traffic through its doors in 2011 as compared to the previous year.

Executive Director Hank Helm attributes the surge to greater visibility and national press about its award-winning “A Portrait of Manzanar,” featuring photographs by Ansel Adams.

Most Bainbridge Island residents are familiar with its story about the internment of citizens of Japanese-American descent during World War II. In fact, some here, actually lived it. One might think it’s simply an island story, but Edmonds teacher Stacey Kinnear read about it, first in The New York Times, and then again in the Seattle Times. It’s part of a broader, na-

“They’re still talking about it,” Kinnear said two weeks later about the effect the field trip had on her class.

In addition to the visit to the museum, each student visited Akio Suyematsu’s Day Road Farm and toured the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial, searching the 276-wall for the name of the person on the tag.

“I’ve had the most positive feedback from students about this trip than any other,” Kinnear said. “This brought it to life for them. They understood it more deeply than just reading about it.”

The museums exhibit won an award for exhibition excellence from the Western Museums Association.

The museum’s main exhibit, “An Island Story,” set in the old schoolhouse

structure circa 1908, is wired for the 21st century. Motion detectors trigger audio files and interactive maps highlight island resources.

The museum is one of only three museums in Washington state that have won a MUSE award from the American Association of Museums for excellence in use of media and technology — the Experience Music Project, Seattle Art Museum, and in 2008, Bainbridge Island Historical Museum.

Bainbridge Island, who embarked on an epic journey across the U.S. to visit the capital of every state in the union. With only horses and a dog, the expedition wound its way around the country before ending up in San Francisco in 1912.

“It’s a dog-and-pony show, literally,” said the museum’s award-winning Curator Rick Chandler, who has won multiple awards for his exhibits.

The exhibit, which will travel to various venues in state capitals throughout the U.S. is timed to coincide with the centennial of the men’s trek.

The exhibits offer glimpses into life in the past, travel on the Mosquito Fleet, loggers, fisherman, teachers and the indigenous who lived here before it was “discovered.” Quill-penned documents, curiosities, “discovery drawers,” 200 taped oral histories and a cross-referenced digital database make those stories come alive.

The Manzanar exhibit will continue to be displayed until the Interpretive Center at the Memorial Wall is finished.

In spring, the museum will unveil a new exhibit, “Overland Westerners,” which is about four men, two of whom were from

Island kayaking offers a close-up of wildlife By

agles, orcas, seals and salmon.

Strange and wonderful waterfront homes. An ever-increasing number of local kayakers are finding that a paddle around Bainbridge Island is the best kind of reality entertainment.

While some paddlers are just discovering the joys of skimming across the water like the wind, others, including Bainbridge Parks Wilderness Trip Coordinator Ranger Sciacca, grew up exploring the waters off Bainbridge from low-riding watercraft.

“I had a canoe from the time I was 7 or 8; then, a few years ago I started kayaking,” said Sciacca, who now teaches kayaking through Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District.

Bainbridge Island Almanac 2012 KAYAKING:

Continued from page 31

“Anywhere around the island is really good for kayaking,” Sciacca said. “If you know what you’re doing, and you have the right gear, you can be on the water year-round. One of my best memories is kayaking in a snowstorm.”

Forrest Wells, manager of Olympic Outdoor Center, agrees. For a time, he commuted by kayak from his home on Hood Canal to the Outdoor Center’s main office in Port Gamble. Wells, whose kayaking experience includes Alaska, describes Bainbridge as an “awesome playground” for kayakers.

“The island has 26 miles of everything from protected bays like Port Madison to more challenging areas like Agate Passage and Rich Passage,” said Wells. “And there’s a fair amount of public access compared to a lot of places, probably an average of four or five miles between landing sites.”

Many of these public sites owe their existence to organizations such as Washington Water Trails, Cascadia Marine Trails, and the North Kitsap Trails Association, which develop and maintain waterfront launching and landing sites, campsites, and rest areas for small, beachable boats.

“Right now, the main work is marking the sites,” said Wells. “Until recently, Kitsap County had limited shore access.

These public access points let people land without having to worry about trespassing on privately owned land or a tribal beach.”

Although kayaking can be a solitary sport, last July’s inaugural Paddle Bainbridge brought together 50 kayakers for a two-day circumnavigation of the island.

The event, planned by Wells for Olympic Outdoor Center, started and ended at Fort Ward. It included a night under the stars at Fay Bainbridge Park.

Beautiful weather and happy paddlers resulted in the sponsors planning a second annual Paddle Bainbridge. This year, the Subaru “Leave No Trace Traveling Trainers” will join Paddle Bainbridge and provide an evening of fun at the Fay Bainbridge campout. For their time on the water, participants can choose either the Speedy, Mellow or Nature-lovers’ group and a one- or two-day experience.

Kayaking isn’t usually seen as a daredevil sport, but some foreknowledge can make the difference between a fun day on the water and a chilly, cramped, Viking ship slave experience – or worse.

Experts consider the biggest local kayaking danger to be the temperature of Puget Sound, which can chill a body quickly even on the warmest summer day. Beginners may find an introductory class helpful.

“Conditions around the island vary quite a bit,” Wells said. “Learning the basics before you go out can go a long

Puget Sound’s vistas can be stunning. way toward improving your kayaking experience. For instance, you should know what to do in case you capsize. It’s also important to learn about tides and currents. If you time your trip right, it can feel like you’re paddling downhill.”

On the other hand, experienced kayakers may go looking for a challenge.

“I mark my calendar with the dates of big tides and go to Agate Pass where there are the strongest currents,” said Sciacca. “You can get up to 2 or 3 knots, maybe even more. You can fight against it or ride with it, and you can practice going sideways. But don’t try it if you’re just starting out. If it’s above your ability level you can get rolled or have a tough time getting to shore.”

Many kayakers are satisfied with the gentler thrill of tiptoeing through nature.

From the salmon runs of Manzanita Bay to the sea lions of Blakely Rock, the island offers kayakers stunning views of wildlife denied those in larger, noisier craft.

“Kayaking gives us a peek into our environment that we don’t usually get,” said Wells. “It’s a great way to get upclose and personal with our marine ecosystems.”

KiDiMu sitting pretty with new LEED certification By

CONNIE MEARS

K

ids Discovery Museum is sitting on top of the world as it were, or at least perched atop one of the most prominent locations in Kitsap County.

As one of the flagships of the evolving Island Gateway complex, located just off the ferry terminal on Bainbridge Island, KiDiMu is primed to serve approximately 30,000 youngsters from King and Kitsap counties annually.

Established in 2005, KiDiMu moved to its present location in 2010. The 5,078-squarefoot building, designed by Bainbridge Island resident and architect Matthew Coates, features a distinctive, red cube.

Inside, visitors can’t help but notice the pirate-themed treehouse that towers one-and-a-half stories high and includes dress‐up materials for a voyage of the imagination.

The treehouse slide spills the youngsters into “Our Town,” which introduces kids to community life through scaled‐ down versions of a doctor’s office, grocery store, ferry (of course) and a bank.

Meanwhile, the museum’s youngest visitors can enjoy the “Totally Tots” area, an enclosed padded space where toddlers and their caregivers can hang out, play and visit in comfort and safety.

A low-walled outdoor area provides a spot for a picnic lunch and fair‐weather activities and programming.

Upstairs, in the “Science Hall,” the “Motion Madness” and “Rain Forest” exhibits teach kids about physics.

“Looking forward, I am excited about a new STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) program we are piloting this school year,” said Executive Director Susan Sivitz. “Led by Ordway teacher (and KiDiMu board member), Sean Megy, these classes offer up-close

encounters with ‘dinobots’ to second-grade students and allow them to explore principles of physics.”

The goal is to make this program free to all elementary schools in Kitsap County.

The museum’s programming supports Pete Saloutos for Asani its mission “to engage bodies and minds KiDiMu earned a silver LEED rating for its green building. through interactive The KiDiMu certification is the first of play; inspire a lifelong the Island Gateway project, and the other journey of discovery; and expand connecbuildings are expected to follow suit as tions to local and global communities.” construction finishes.

Islanders refuse to have public schools decline By

espite deep budget cuts in the Bainbridge Island School District in recent years, the community has stepped up financially to support the system’s work force and curriculum, primarily through a nonprofit foundation.

Six years ago, when two active Bainbridge Island education support groups joined forces, the Bainbridge Schools Foundation (BSF) was born. The newly evolved organization wasted no time in exceeding the $2.5 million raised by its parent groups over the years.

Three months into the 2011/2012 school year alone, BSF presented a check to the Bainbridge Island School District for $500,000, the first installment of a promised $1,007,600. By the end of BSF’s annual Dinner Auction Gala in January,

the organization believes will have met, if not exceeded that goal. The funds will make a big dent in the projected $1.7 million-dollar gap between state funding and school budgets.

“This is the fourth year of budget cuts for the district,” said Vicky Marsing, executive director of BSF. “That’s a total of $5.5 million, or over 15 percent of the budget. There’s nothing left to cut but teacher salaries. Retaining teachers, keeping classroom sizes low, and professional development for our teachers is our main focus. This year we’ve earmarked $70,000 for teacher training.”

“Through the efforts of the foundation, we have been able to lessen the negative impact caused by multiple years of reduced funding by the state,” said Dr. Robert M Lewis, principal of Ordway

Elementary School. “Specifically in my school, this has meant that we have been able to maintain a lower student-teacher ratio, have had the support for innovation, and have been able to provide staff development opportunities for our teachers.”

Wilkes Elementary Principal Sheryl Belt has had a similar experience: “Over the last few years, we’ve had several staff members at Wilkes who’ve been able to remain in their teaching positions thanks to this amazing support.

This has allowed our class sizes to remain at levels that are manageable and allow teachers to maintain a quality learning environment essential for academic and social development.”

eoduck sashimi. Nettle pesto.

Herb-infused jams. Raw oysters in mignonette. Gourmet? Yes. Brunch at a trendy restaurant? No. These dishes and many more can be cooked up at home from main ingredients gathered at local beaches and back lots.

But the first step is to learn what to eat (or not eat!), where and when to find it, and what to do with it once it’s lying there on the kitchen counter.

“A lot of people are interested in wild foods, but they’ve never dug clams or harvested nettles, and they need someone to show them,” said Jeff Ozimek, the outdoor programs coordinator for Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District.

With this in mind, Ozimek instituted a series of “Bounty of the Land” classes for the district. The hands-on classes are led by three foraging experts, each with a unique focus.

• John Adams, owner of Skookum Point Oysters and Clams, guides participants through the digging, identification, shucking and cleaning of oysters and bivalves; • Kathryn Lafond, known as a wise woman herbalist, has the inside scoop on turning “weeds” and berries into healthful foods and tinctures; • Langdon Cook, author of “Fat of the Land: Adventures of a 21st Century Forager,” is the chief cook and nettle-picker of the group, turning the odd and seemingly inedible into epicurean delights for the class.

All of the classes include a cooking and eating component. It’s enough to make a foodie swoon.

“I was surprised to find that nettles aren’t just edible, they’re delicious!” en-

thused Ozimek. “They have a peppery freshness that’s not really like anything else. And they’re full of good stuff; they’re a super weed.”

Cook calls nettles “one of the most nutritious greens on the planet.” After rendering the belligerent plants harmless by drying or scalding in boiling water, Cook transforms them into everything from pesto and pie to soups and curries.

In fact, the author/blogger substitutes nettles in any recipe calling for spinach.

Equally familiar with nettles, though primarily for their medicinal properties, Lafond brings to the foraging classes a cultural pharmacopeia of beneficial backyard plants. Her “Herbal Infused Jams and Jellies” class highlights spreads made from salal berries, huckleberries and Himalayan blackberries combined with herbs and, occasionally, chili pepper.

Wild Plant Medicines focuses on plants such as Oregon grape, mullein, red dock, huckleberry and dandelion to create tinctures, decoctions, infusions, and herbal vinegars.

“The real food chains aren’t the McDonalds and Burger Kings; they’re the links between the soil, land, plants, animals and us,” said Lafond. “There’s a lot to learn about the wild plants that are right outside your door, the ones that are trying to get your attention. Dandelion, chick-weed, plantain – they’re all full of nutrients and free for the taking.”

In addition to owning his own shellfish farm, Adams, the third instructor in the foraging triad, also manages the Taylor Shellfish Farm in Dosewalips, which partners with the Park District in its shellfish programs.

“When you go to an oyster bar, it’s sterile and so far removed from where the oysters were grown,” explains Adams.

“In these classes you go out on a beach, choose an oyster, and eat it right there.

Photos courtesy of Langdon Cook

Nettles can be prickly when picked, but they’re delicious in a sausage pie.

You can sink your hands into the sand, breathe the sea air, see the mountains: it’s a snapshot of what the oyster is like.”

Some class participants sign up because they love oysters; others are curious newbies.

“Oyster-eating is an experience unto itself,” said Adams. “Putting the oyster in your mouth and chewing it is a vivid, salty experience. If the person is marginal about eating a raw oyster, you can see their entire thought process; their face screws up when they start chewing. I tell them to slurp, bite down twice, and swallow.

Don’t fumble over the textural issue.”

Cook co-teaches the shellfish classes.

Whether preparing geoduck ceviche, sprinkling fennel pollen on broccoli, or whipping up a chickweed chimichurri (meat sauce), Cook demonstrates the possibilities of cooking a great gourmet FORAGING:

Bainbridge Island Almanac 2012 • SCHOOLS: Continued from page 54 While working to bolster the district’s teaching staff, the foundation keeps its own staff to a minimum. The executive director, the only full-time paid position, is supported by two part-time employees.

To counteract the nationwide shortage of professionals with math and science degrees, BSF is placing special emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) curriculum. Programs that promote understanding and enjoyment of these programs are being implemented throughout all grade levels in the Bainbridge School District.

“Washington State reports 300,000 STEM jobs unfilled,” said Marsing. “We want to increase students’ love of science

before the kids think they should be turned off by it. We hope to shift the whole culture of ‘I hate math.’ The programs we support extend from science and math summer camps for elementaryaged students to more STEM course offerings at the high school level.”

BSF is grateful for the support not just of district parents but of the community at large.

According to Marsing, out of approximately 1,200 donors, fully a quarter do not currently have a child in the public schools.

“This is a community that recognizes the education of our children as the most important thing,” she said. “Our teachers, administrators, and community members understand the imporBrad Camp file photo

Ozimek describes it as experiential education in which every practical aspect is covered, from the varieties that may be encountered to locating the quarry, cleaning, recipes and end-of-class consumption.

tance of keeping our schools strong, and it shows; our kids test in the top five percent of the state.”

Ordway’s Lewis said the support is critical for his staff’s morale.

“The financial support provided by our community through the work of the foundation has been a strong message to my staff that they are valued and respected,” he said. “This message has been visible in many forms – from a lemonade stand set up by 8-year-olds, car washes, a Dollar-A-Day Campaign, and having over 300 people gather for a dinner for the sole purpose of supporting education during difficult economic times.”

The January Gala fundraiser is BSF’s main fundraising effort, traditionally bringing in $300,000 per year. Other successful events include a “Click-a-thon,” in which money can be donated online, and the Dollar-a-Day campaign, which kicks off in the spring with a community breakfast.

BSF funds support other programs, such as teacher-requested enrichment grants that can cover anything from trebuchets and math literacy to music enrichment and science fair kits for hypothesis-challenged parents. The Wings Autism Spectrum Disorder Program for grades K-8 receives half of its funding from the foundation.

“We feel so fortunate to be in this community where so many people have stepped up to generously support the Bainbridge Schools Foundation and public education on the island,” said Wilkes’ Belt. “We can’t adequately express our thanks for the work of the foundation and the support of the community.”

hen it comes to open space and outdoor recreation, the citizens of Bainbridge Island can’t get enough. You might think that this Puget Sound island would be satisfied to rest on its nearly 1,000-acre laurels, but no; every year the island renews its commitment and expands its public lands.

In the most recent case, the Bainbridge Island Land Trust acquired the 31acre Hilltop property, linking the east and west segments of the Grand Forest.

The Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District was involved in part of the purchase and will be the property’s overseer; it will also build a trail linking the two Grand Forest properties, which the district also manages.

The park district is also in the process of purchasing from private landowners about 30 acres in the northwest corner of the Gazzam Lake Preserve (see below), which would ensure that the large preserve’s unique wildlife habitat would not have a paved road running through part of it.

Although not technically open to the public, the city-owned farmland of Day Road Farm underscores an interest in locally grown food. The year 2012 ushers in the formal management of this 60 acres of agricultural land by the nonprofit Friends of the Farms.

Under the agreement, the organization may now offer 30-year leases to the dozen or so farmers who cultivate individual plots to keep island dining fresh and homegrown. The organizations offers tours of the farmland on the second Sunday of each month.

Fort Ward Park, located at the island’s south end, is a 137-acre outpost

Fort Ward Parade Grounds Park is a 1.5-acre neighborhood park located at the end of Parade Grounds Avenue. The site is a portion of the previous marching and parade area for Fort Ward. It became part of district’s park system in 2011.

Nutes Pond is a 31-acre passive park with a captivating landscape whose central feature is a tranquil pond. Located off Toe Jam Hill Road at the island’s south end, this park purchase was in conjunction with the Open Space Bond fund and conveyed to the park district in 2011. Parking is not yet available.

points on foot or bike.

Eagledale offers an ambitious little park near the south shore of Eagle Harbor, including a cultural arts building and pottery kiln. There is a fenced, off-leash dog area; play equipment; a covered picnic area; tennis, sports, and volleyball courts; a stone labyrinth and a fine view of Mount Rainier, all on 6.7 acres off Rose Avenue.

Plans are also in the works to extend Blakely trails to 50-acre Pritchard Park, which sprawls along the south shore of the mouth of Eagle Harbor. While part of Bill Point is closed to the public for industrial cleanup, the sandy beach to the west is one of the most popular on the island. After more than a decade of hard work by its many supporters, the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial was dedicated on Aug. 6, 2011, during the annual Japanese American picnic at Pritchard Park, which can be reached by parking at the foot of Taylor Avenue.

For a secluded escape, Gazzam Lake Preserve and contiguous properties offer more than 444 mostly wooded acres, including a quiet 14-acre freshwater lake/wetland area. Most folks head up Marshall Road past the recycling center and park at the north gate. For a real workout try the shore-to-shore walk.

Park at Lynwood Center and hike 100 yards up Point White Drive to the trailhead at Schel-Chelb Estuary. Follow the path north across Baker Hill Road and hike west until you see a sign for the next access road and trailhead. This rugged trail goes up through the Peters property to Deer Path Lane, where you can jog left to the back entrance of Gazzam Lake.

At the north end of the lake, turn left and follow the signs down to the Close property. After a final precipitous hike, take a rest and enjoy the reward for your labor: an expanse of rocky beach on the banks of the spectacular Port Orchard Narrows.

Willie Wenzlau/For the Review

Gazzam Lake Preserve’s centerpiece is a 14-acre lake and marsh area.

Two satellite properties off Crystal Springs Drive are well worth exploring.

The Gazzam Beach property, Close Beach, stretches 550 feet along the rocky beach near the foot of Baker Hill Road. An upland area includes seven rough acres of green space. The park has no amenities at this point but offers spacious views. Just to the south, Point White Pier, a former Mosquito Fleet and ferry dock, is an ideal spot for fishing and scuba diving.

Located a few miles north of Gazzam Lake Preserve at 8395 Fletcher Bay Road is Island Center Park, which includes an historic community hall and a picnic area on its three acres.

The 90-year-old facility has a rich and varied history, and has a large room, corner stage for a variety of uses, a kitchen and two bathrooms. When park classes are not in session, the facility available for rent from the park district.

Waterfront Park on Eagle Harbor is one of several green spaces tucked into the Winslow area. Its 5.5 acres bridges downtown to the harbor and features a covered picnic building, tennis courts, a lower picnic area, bandstand and boat launch. The connecting Waterfront Trail begins at the ferry and runs west along

the water before turning up into downtown Winslow.

Hawley Cove, just east of Winslow, offers good ferry watching and, at low tide, 330 feet of driftwood-strewn beach.

Its 12 acres include a boardwalk through a wooded upland and a lower marsh.

Reach the park from either of two directions. From Winslow, hike down Hawley Way past the sewer plant, then scramble over the driftwood and you’re there. Or park off Wing Point Way, near Azalea Avenue, and look for the trailhead. Follow the wooded path and fork left at the bottom to find the beach.

Camp Yeomalt is a long-time scout camp with trails on three acres at the corner of Yeomalt and Park Avenue. The classroom and Depression-era log cabin with performance stage are available for rental.

At the southwest corner of Aaron and Grand avenues, Aaron Avenue Tot Lot is a small playground with horseshoe pits and a picnic table.

Kenneth H. Gideon Park is a 2.5acre playground and field at the corner of Grow Avenue and Gideon Lane. ProPARKS:

Bainbridge Island Almanac 2012 PARKS:

Continued from page 65

posed improvements include new play equipment and trail upgrades.

Ballplayers of all sizes can boot balls or take a few practice swings at the tenacre property of Sands Avenue Ball Fields. A regulation soccer pitch and Babe Ruth baseball diamond (with grass infield) have vaulted the park to the pinnacle of island ball facilities.

Rotary Park is another stop for sluggers with two baseball fields and a picnic area on 10 acres. It’s on Weaver Road, between High School Road and Wyatt Way. Strawberry Hill Park, west of town, is a decommissioned Nike missile site from the Cold War era and the HQ for park district activities.

Aside from offices, the park hosts a tennis court, baseball and softball diamonds, a football field, a play area, a covered picnic area, and an indoor mini gym (call the park district at 842-2306 for programs and rental) all on 25 acres.

Also here: a world-class skateboard park, the Rotary Skate Bowl (helmets required). The park is off High School Road, between Fletcher Bay and Sportsman Club roads.

Grand Forest, a 240-acre park in several parts, anchors a mid-island greenway and wildlife corridor. True to its name, the parcels include 75-year-old evergreen forest, wetlands and wildlife habitat that are popular with hikers, bikers and equestrians.

Access the 2-mile marked trail in Grand Forest West and the small parking lot on Miller Road. A 2007 Land Trust acquisition will eventually open a public corridor between the western and northern portions of Grand Forest.

The 1.2-mile Forest to Sky Trail begins at Grand Forest on Miller Road and dives west into robust woodland. Visitors cross a thriving wetland on a boardwalk and the ruts of a historic logging road

before arriving at Battle Point Park.

Though known mostly for its World War II military installations, Battle Point Park was named for a much earlier skirmish between a resident Suquamish band and raiders from a northern tribe.

The park’s 90 acres of open space include two ponds (complete with ducks), picnic areas and a shelter, a smooth jogging/walking trail, a fitness course, several soccer and softball fields, two tennis courts, a roller hockey court, a sand volleyball court, two basketball courts, horse area, and community gardens.

The park is also home to the Kids Up! playground and the refurbished Transmitter Building, which hosts youth gymnastics and an indoor play area.

The Battle Point Astronomical Association (www.bpastro.org) has an astronomy center in the former “Helix House.” To reach the park, take Miller Road to Arrow Point Drive.

From the northern end of Battle Point take a trail across Frey Avenue to find Fairy Dell Park, a 2.5-acre nature area. The park includes shoreline access at the base of a sylvan ravine.

Meigs Park is a 120-acre inland wetland and wildlife habitat intended for nature study. It is covered by a conservation easement held by the Land Trust.

Access is off SR-305 and Koura Road.

Ted Olson Nature Preserve encompasses 15 acres of woods with a .3-mile nature trail, a small natural amphitheater and parking for 10 vehicles. The park is on North Madison Avenue, just south of Wilkes Elementary.

For a day out with a hoofed companion, Manzanita Park offers 120 acres of woods laced with horse and pedestrian trails. Its 2.27-mile nature trail is best enjoyed in late summer and early fall.

There is also a covered picnic shelter and a controlled group camping area. The park is next to the Saddle Club off Day Road West.

Hidden Cove Ball Fields, located on

• 71

Phelps Road (northeast off Day Road and SR-305), hosts ball fields and access to an extensive trail network. The 9.5acre site has a Little League field and a soccer practice area.

Take a trail north to Hidden Cove Park and another six-acre parcel, which has space for picnics, 200 feet of shoreline and a dock for small watercraft.

Nearby T’Chookwap Park, maintained by the Park District, is a half-acre water view property on Spargur Loop Road, with a footpath to the bluff overlooking Port Madison.

Facing east on Puget Sound, Fay Bainbridge Park showcases a 1,420foot sandy beach with impressive driftwood piles. It also has the only overnight camping facilities on the island, with 36 standard sites, 26 water-only hookup sites and 10 primitive spaces for tents.

The park, which previously was a State Parks property, includes a play area, two covered picnic facilities, volleyball and campfire pits. Find the 17-acre park off Sunrise Drive.

West Port Madison Nature Preserve has 13 acres with 0.2-mile of trail and picnic shelters, barbecue pits, and bird watching. From SR-305, follow West Port Madison Road to County Park Road and turn right.

Bloedel Reserve, just north of Port Madison, is an internationally renowned public garden composed of 150 acres of forest, stately gardens, ponds, meadows, and the Bloedel family’s former estate home. This renowned garden welcomes the public. Go east on Agatewood Road to the gated entrance.

Located deep inside Eagle Harbor off Weaver Avenue, the 4-acre Strawberry Plant Park property, once a berry cannery and commercial center, underwent shoreline restoration in 2011. It offers wildlife habitat, a non-motorized boat launch, picnic area, 80-foot wide view corridor, and a walking path with water access.

Diverse wildlife makes Bainbridge Island special By

I

Kol Medina

often hear people say that Bainbridge Island is a special place. When I hear someone say this, I always ask them this question: “What do you think makes Bainbridge a special place?”

Invariably their answer focuses on the environment: the towering forests; the rolling hills dotted with open fields; the miles of shoreline with stunning views; and last, but certainly not least, the abundant wildlife. Quite literally, it’s the wildlife that bring Bainbridge’s environment to life.

Bainbridge Island is home to an impressive array of wild animals. Throughout the course of a year, up to 41 species of mammals and 247 species of birds will make their home either on Bainbridge Island or in the waters around it.

Because many of these species are highly visible, they’re an important part of what makes Bainbridge special. Think of the bald eagles flying over every part of the island; the deer wandering through our yards and, unfortunately, across our roads; the great blue herons patiently fishing in shallow waters; the coyotes hunting in a field or yipping in the dark night; the cormorants sunning their sleek, black bodies on pilings; the hungry raccoons quietly watching you, hoping some food is left behind; the crows dropping clams onto the ferry loading dock to break them open; the myriad species of song birds gobbling millet at our bird feeders; and the sharp barking of seals just offshore.

Those are just a few of Bainbridge’s visible wild animals. Without these animals, Bainbridge would not be such a special place.

For me, though, the most interesting wild animals on or around Bainbridge are the ones we don’t usually see or hear.

Although we humans don’t often see

them, they are an important part of the Bainbridge Island ecosystem and are continually shaping the environment around us.

For instance, you wouldn’t know it, but Bainbridge is home to mink and weasels, four species of bats, chipmunks and three species of squirrels, including the remarkable northern flying squirrel. These flying squirrels don’t really “fly”; rather, they climb up trees, jump off, and glide, sometimes long distances. They are also amazingly cute.

The island is also home to, or annually visited by, black bears and cougars. It’s possible that one or more bears actually live yearround on Bainbridge. And it’s certain that bears visit the Island in the summer to gorge themselves on berries. We’ve received numerous reports of bears being sighted swimming across Agate Passage, a spectacle I’d love to see someday.

As for cougars, it is highly unPhoto by Richard Badger likely that one is still living on Coyotes are important to the island’s ecosystem.

A distillery with a touch of salty air By

RICHARD D. OXLEY

W

ashington’s craft distillery industry is growing quickly and Bainbridge Island offers a glimpse of this scene through the Bainbridge Organic Distillery, which its owner considers as one of the more unique and ethical distilleries in the state.

“People seem very interested in smallscale or specialty spirits production,” said owner Keith Barnes. “(It shows) how much more interesting the products can be when they are made by hand versus a big factory.”

Barnes opened the distillery in the Sportsman Park Business Complex in 2009 with his son, Patrick. Their first product, Legacy Organic Vodka, was produced in 2010 and was soon followed by Battle Point Whiskey. Last September the business released a gin under the monicker Heritage. The spirits have proven to be quite popular.

The most recent small batch of Battle Point Whiskey produced a mere 250 bottles. By the end of the first day, only eight bottles remained, and they sold within 15 minutes of opening the next day.

With enthusiasm for craft products, Washington now leads most states with its number of distilleries. Barnes started his business just before the distilling scene’s initial boom. By July 2010, the state had only 20 licensed distilleries, but by the end of 2011 there were 38 and seven more distilleries were awaiting approval at the start of 2012.

A conversation with Barnes reveals that he has an extensive knowledge of the distilling process, and the organic world — from genetically modified organisms to where to find the most organic-friendly enzymes used for distilling. With this knowledge, his distillery puts a sense of ethics in each bottle.

“When we first started, Patrick and I discussed how much the environment is degraded through the application of agricultural chemicals,” Barnes said. “We decided that we wanted to do this the right way.”

At times, visitors can see the distillery’s “right way” in action. The majority of the space is occupied by the production area with no visual barriers between the tasting room and the distilling floor.

From the ground to the bottle, this distillery is a part of every step in its own unique process. Distilleries in Washington are required to obtain at least 50 percent of their grains used for distillation Willie Wenzlau/For the Review from within the state.

“When you are an organic distillery, many of the things that you use are old school,” Barnes said. “They’re not the current technology, [which] has grown leaps and bounds and made minerals more pure and made enzymes more effective. But the byproduct of that is that

Barnes hopes his distillery will continue to succeed and be sustainable, perhaps so that someday his grandchildren can take part if they so choose.

“We’re not looking to make it huge,” Barnes said. “It will get as big as it feels like it needs to get, but we’re definitely looking to drive the business and not let the business drive us.”
