THE ART OF CREATING AN

ART MUSEUM

Either out-of-order or silenced, Council Member Bob Scales was once again asked to halt his questioning Wednesday evening by fellow council members – further creating a gray area between what is or isn’t appropriate on the dais.

“I’m getting fed up. I’m not going away. I’m not keeping quiet,” Scales said. “So

you can keep raising points of order but at some point you need to figure out what the rules are.”

Council was participating in a presentation on the council/manager form of government. Foster Pepper Attorney Steve DiJulio was giving an overview of the history of the form of government and how it related to SEE COUNCIL, A5

Foundation laid for new museum to emerge

A

s winter comes to an end, the island’s bare branches might appear lifeless – but if you look closer, you’ll find them covered in buds just waiting to burst.

You might make that same conclusion looking at the site of the future Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. Its gray foundation mirrors winter’s bleak skies, but like the tulips and daffodils, a lot is going on below the surface. Literally.

The museum, aiming for environmentally friendly LEED gold designation, took a detour to incorporate geo-

thermal heating, digging 14 underground wells that will draw heat from the earth.

That’s in addition to plans for solar panels on the roof; use of recycled materials, including insulation made from old denim; a vegetated roof garden and a “living” wall. The building, designed

by Bainbridge resident and architect Matthew Coates with input from the com-

munity, would be the first museum in Washington state and one of only a handful in the country to earn that designation.

“It’s not easy for museums to qualify because they have a high energy need – to keep the temperature and humidity constant for the art, along with high lighting requirements,” Coates said.

And while Coates contemplates possible gold status, BIMA’s Executive Director Greg Robinson is pretty

excited about the basement.

“It’s not a space that a lot of people think about,” he said.

“It’s not the sexiest part.”

It’s important to Robinson because it contains the museum’s archival space for art storage, a loading dock, offices and the mechanical rooms. In other words, it’s the guts of the museum, and essential to behindthe-scenes magic. Attention was paid to meet the highest museum standards to be eligible to host exhibits from other museums in the region.

Lynwood theater may have beer, wine option The bill is championed by Rep. Jim Moeller (D-49th District, Vancouver). It would add a new form of licensing to allow theaters the option of offering beer and wine without restricting the audience to those above the age of 21.

According to Moeller, the bill is aimed to help historic single-screen theaters.

A license would only cover a single screen so if a multiplex theater wanted to participate, only one screen would be allowed to serve beer and wine.

“Previously (theaters) would have to be considered a tavern, which would exclude minors,” Moeller said. “But these are not taverns they’re theaters!”

Moeller said that the idea for the bill began when he was approached by the owner of the Kiggins Theater in Vancouver. Having the option to sell beer and wine would help theaters like the Kiggins compete.

Moeller noted that across the Columbia River in

A recently proposed bill in the State House of Representatives, if passed, will give small theaters the option to obtain a license to serve beer and wine.

Bainbridge’s own Lynwood Theatre is exactly the type of theater characterized in the bill and could be effected by the legislation should its owners opt to explore the beer and wine option. “(The bill) says that if you have a license you can sell beer and wine and bring it into the theater, even if you have those who are underage,” said Jeff Brein of Far Away Entertain, which owns the Lynwood Theater.

“If we ever were to do it, we would limit it to night time only and there would probably be certain shows where we would not serve beer and wine at all because we would be showing something where there would be kids in the theater,” Brein said.

Oregon, theaters such as the McMenamins chain have been selling beer and wine with little, if any, problems for years.

“One of the concerns has been how you keep beer and wine out of the hands of minors,” Moeller said.

“Oregon has done this for years and they’ve been very successful. They card them, or stamp them, or give them a bracelet, and they make sure that minors don’t have access (to beer and wine).”

The license would cost theater owners $200 to serve beer or wine, or $400 to serve both.

The new license would also require theaters to submit a minor control plan to the State Liquor Control Board.

The minor control plan is intended to show how theaters would prevent minors from obtaining alcohol and minimizing their exposure.

According to Brein, however, it’s still not so simple.

“The simple fact that the law would let us put

beer and wine in the theater doesn’t mean we would do it,” Brein said. “It’s just out of respect of those who wouldn’t appreciate it.”

Currently, theaters in Washington have the option to offer beer and wine at their establishments, though they would then be required to restrict viewings to strictly ages 21 and older.

Brein said that such restrictions are more trouble than they are worth and the Lynwood isn’t set up for separate sections for 21-and-older crowds.

Far Away Entertainment also owns the Admiral Theater in Seattle, where beer and wine is served outside the theater but alcoholic beverages are not allowed in the theater during viewings.

This allows them to keep minors and 21-and-older crowds separate.

Brein noted that while some may appreciate beer and wine at a movie, not all patrons would support hav-

ing the option.

He stressed that input from customers is highly

“The simple fact that the law would let us put beer and wine in the theater doesn’t mean we will do it.”

Jeff Brein The Lynwood Theater

valued and he would like to hear what movie viewers think on the matter before making any decision.

“We have a very longtime loyal customers at (the Lynwood Theatre) who are not bashful about telling us what they like and what they don’t like,” Brein said.

“We really pay attention to the input of our customers because that’s our lifeline… if they want us to try something like this, we will. But if not, then we won’t.”

Whatever future decision the theatre may make, Brein said customers still

have options.

“We have the Treehouse next door where you can get all the beer and wine that you want,” Brein said. “…I don’t want to compete against the Treehouse. Our business is showing movies.”

While Brein maintains that he will ultimately serve what his customers want, he doesn’t believe that beer and wine sales will add anything to the business.

“I’m going to make more off of a large Diet Pepsi than off of a glass of wine.

We aren’t going to be selling beer and wine and making a ton of money,” Brein said. “At the end of the day, we could take it or leave it.

I’d rather sell Pepsi than a Rosé.”

The bill was first submitted in January and is currently making its way through committees in the state senate.

councIl CONTINUED FROM A1

Bainbridge Island.

Council had agreed to the presentation after a series of incidents throughout January and February that caused tension on the council, which has four newly elected members. The incidents included the use of outside attorneys by council members. The presentation’s focus was to provide a clear understanding of Bainbridge Island’s form of government, and clarifying any misconceptions or confusion on how the system works.

While it proved to be an educational event, it also carved deeper the tense lines being drawn on the dais, and created further disagreement on how council is run.

After his presentation, DiJulio answered questions from the council to help them better understand his presentation and the subject matter. The first two were asked by Scales, who wondered if the mayor had any authority outside that

of any other council member and if individual council members had the authority to spend city funds or apply for grants on their own. The short answer to both questions was “no,” according to DiJulio.

When Scales began his third question, involving the city’s codes and contracts after it changed its form of government, he was abruptly stopped by Mayor and Councilor Debbi Lester.

He intended to address the powers of the current mayor (elected by the council as a pro-tem position) and if any of the powers held by the elected mayor in the previous mayor/council form of government were retained.

According to Scales, the answer would have been no.

However, Lester called a point of order with a gavel.

She instructed Scales that during the previous week’s meeting, from which he was absent, council had decided to have a workshop on the questions he was asking, and all agreed to address them at that time.

“At last week’s council meeting, council specifically agreed that this presen-

Scales then walked out of that meeting after not being allowed to continue speaking on the topic.

“I can’t believe this is happening again,” Scales said. “I can’t ask a question?”

As with the Feb. 2 incident, Scales insisted that he was not out of line and had every right to proceed.

At one point he asked that council vote on whether he could continue; it did, deciding by a 4-2 votes to cut off Scales’ questions.

“I have been on the council for six years and I’ve never been treated with such disrespect,” Scales said.

“You can’t use Roberts Rules of Order to silence views you disagree with, which is what has happened here.”

Scales sat quietly for the remainder of the presentation, which included John Caulfield, city manager of the City of Mountlake Terrance. Caulfield spoke to his role and successes as city manager of Mountlake Terrace, which also has a council/manager form of government.

Scales maintained that his views are being silenced by a new council majority with a specific agenda, which

includes changing the city manager and revisiting the issue of divesting the water utility. He said that council majority will seek a new city manager that can be their “puppet” to achieve their agenda.

“The public has not been made aware of this agenda yet but we are starting to get some hints about what they are doing behind the scenes,” Scales said Thursday in an email. “I think this council wants to micromanage city staff and eliminate any dissenting voices. I believe that they will continue to try and silence me when I raise questions or contrary points of view. They want to operate in secret and without any rules or restrictions on their behavior.”

Before council adjourned for the evening, Scales pressed the point that when council does plan the workshop, that a presentation on Robert’s Rules is included.

A date for the workshop regarding outside legal council has yet to be set.

Lester said that she has been contacting local universities and legal experts to find an appropriate authority for the workshop.

IN OUR OPINION

Compromise? Not likely on Bainbridge Island

U

pon returning to the island four years ago, I used my introductory editorial to express my desire to finally live where I worked as compared to living on the island and working in Seattle as I did during a five-year stretch that ended in 1993. Well, the last four years have been intense as expected, but after 44 years of journalism, it’s time to leave this business behind.

When I arrived, the Winslow Tomorrow brouhaha was at full throat and development or lack of it was the overheated argument du jour. Of course, turning Winslow Way into an architect’s dream became a moot point later in the year when the real estate nightmare hit the island with a thud. This is the way I ended that first editorial: “...There certainly are a multitude of growth problems that are unique to the island. But I argue that this diverse community will flourish as long as people get involved and understand the value of compromise for the better of all. Yeah, we may flash the fish eye at one another occasionally, but getting along on an island takes a special breed.

“As for me, I’m ready for some action.”

Little did we know what loomed ahead and how those resplendent fantasies of turning Winslow Way into a money-making street of dreams would be scuttled by a financial tsunami few of us saw coming. The result has been a downsizing in the reconstruction project and the city itself.

As for Bainbridge’s collective psyche during the last few years, it has been a little schizophrenic: many turned to the ethos of benevolence often practiced here during bad times; others have turned their attention to the island’s great experiment – an all-island municipality – and clashed over the direction it should take.

The city continues to be an unfinished product as some islanders like it the way it is and others want change, which certainly has occurred during the last two years and continues today. Can’t we all just get along? Likely not, but it has been entertaining.

LETTERS Plastic bags

It’s about stores giving free bags to shoppers The controversy over prohibiting the distribution of free plastic bags by Bainbridge Island merchants is being blown out of proportion by opponents and I feel compelled to write.

I think the city is correct to prohibit merchants from providing free plastic bags for customer purchases. All the arguments I have heard against the measure are disingenuous, illfounded, based on personal experience, or are merely anti-government rants.

The first argument is the so-called freedom of choice issue. A ban on plastic grocery bags has nothing to do with whether we will have the right to choose to buy our own plastic bags and use them however we may want.

This is no different from any number of other measures that limit or exclude the availability of certain items like tobacco products (placed behind counters), sexually explicit materials or fireworks.

Choice is fine, but the real complaint here is having to take personal responsibility for the choice to use plastic bags rather than getting them for free from the grocery store.

Next, opponents argue that the city is not acting on the best science. The city does not need science to make this decision any more than it would need science to say it does not want to allow on Winslow Way shops that sell sexually explicit materials or fireworks stands.

These decisions need only to have a rational basis and so long as the decision is not irrational, there is

ample legal authority for the city to take this measure. I am unaware of any court decision that requires scientific proof to establish whether a measure meets a rational basis test.

Some folks say they do not see plastic bags along the beaches or streets. I understand that someone who picks up beach litter may not find a lot of plastic bags.

But that proves nothing except that a neighbor who picks up trash deserves our thanks for being a good citizen and setting a great example for us all. That person’s experience may not match that of someone a beach away, or an ocean away.

And I get that it rains here and plastic bags are handy for a variety of purposes. But I am pretty sure it rained here and that dogs made messes here long before stores started giving away plastic bags. We survived without free plastic bags then and we will survive without free plastic bags in the future.

Finally, opponents argue that there are lots of large problems facing the city and this is a waste of time. If this issue is so small, why are opponents so busy mobilizing fevered opposition?

Shouldn’t opponents of this measure be spending their time on those larger issues? The fact that there are large issues facing our city does not mean our elected officials should ignore other issues.

I think this issue is a legitimate one for our city to address. I do not relish the idea of a ban on free plastic bags from merchants, but I realize every little bit helps the environment. I’m sure we’ll adapt to life without unfettered access to free plastic bags.

Lots of discarded plastic, but no grocery bags

Brian Danzig Bainbridge Island

Denny Driggs Wing Point

Since writing an email late last year, I’ve paid more attention to the types of litter that I collect on my daily walk from Wing Point to Winslow and thought you might be interested in what I’ve found.

In these past eight weeks, I’ve noticed that plastic often fills the majority of my bag.

It appears in many forms on the beach. In more or less decreasing order, here are the types of plastic that most commonly gets collected: • Small non-grocery plastic bags, like Hefty bags, sandwich bags, dog poop bags, etc.; • Other small pieces of plastic (Visqueen, bubble wrap, etc); often torn and weathered; • Chunks of Styrofoam; • Plastic drink bottles; • Chunks of hard plastic of all colors and shapes; • Plastic food service items for sandwiches and salads.

Obviously, plastic is a big part of the litter on the beach. But during the past eight weeks, I haven’t seen a single plastic grocery bag.

I’ve been looking for them and expected to find a few, but they haven’t been there.

By the way, I’ve heard that there’s an exhibit of a dead whale’s stomach at Pacific Science Center and that has been a big reason for the concern.

Does anyone know whether the 20 plastic bags found in the stomach were actually grocery bags?

Seems odd.

baffling emergence as the Republican flavor of the week, I remember what Winston Churchill once said: “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

With the rise of Santorum, it starts to seem plausible that we may get the Republican candidate we’ve all been waiting for. If Rick Santorum can lead the Republican pack, can a brokered convention and the resurfacing of Sarah Palin be far behind?

An already entertaining Republican primary would go off the charts if Sarah were to throw her dunce hat into the ring.

But I’m not here today to talk about politics. There’s something far more important going on in America right now. Need a hint about what that is? Think Magna Carta, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and Emancipation Proclamation, only bigger.

That’s right. Last week, the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue came out.

I have a purely professional journalistic interest in the SI Swimsuit Issue. I meticulously comb through each Swimsuit Issue looking for deeper social implications and important consumer trends. It’s slow and tedious work, almost painstaking, really, but it’s exactly the kind of dogged attention to detail that the Pulitzer folks like to see in their

bi-weekly local newspaper humor columnists.

In this year’s Swimsuit Issue, if you include the advertisements (and why wouldn’t you?), there are 238 women shown wearing swimsuits, although 35 of those women were only wearing the bottom half of their suits, and 16 were not wearing any swimsuit at all, except in the sense that one can be said to be “wearing” a suit consisting of just body paint.

The swimsuits featured in this year’s issue range in price from $28 all the way up to $475, which seems like a lot of money for so little material, particularly if you’re paying for a bikini with one of those elusive tops. Not that there’s anything wrong with wearing only half your swimsuit, of course.

Our forefathers and foremothers made sure all Americans were given the inalienable right to wear

as much or as little of our swimsuits as we want within the privacy of our own homes and/or on the pages of a national sports magazine.

Right now, if you’re like me, you’re probably wondering what would happen if you ran the words “Topless Bikini” through the Electoral Anagram Analyzer. Well, what happens is “Silk Tipi Bones” and “Lib Pokiest Sin,” but you probably already knew that, didn’t you?

Next week, a full report on the Wintergrass Music Festival being held this weekend at the Hyatt Regency in Bellevue. And what is Wintergrass? According to the Analyzer, its Straw Singer, Twang Risers, Strings Wear, Anger Wrists and Rawest Grins. See you there.

at Poulsbo City Hall on Feb. 18 (Rep. Sherry Appleton, Rep. Drew Hansen, Sen. Christine Rolfes).

Usual practice at a “town hall meeting” is for public conversation (spoken question and answer) between voters and legislators. This is healthy democracy.

However, if this recent program is any indication, our local democracy is not healthy. Although many

members of the public attended (standing room only), the legislators chose not to interact directly with the public.

Instead, legislative aides requested written questions. Then, Democrat Party moderator Jim Summerhouser reformulated limited questions for the legislators. There was no way for the public to know how closely his approximation followed

the originals. Nor was follow-up taken.

We got to see our three legislators dutifully stand and expound, but in no sense did we hear a honed answer to a specific question tied to a specific member of the public.

Restricting audience participation to a chance to politely applaud indicates only one thing: Legislators’ fear of the electorate. Our legislators

are duty bound to account to constituents, not merely to show up.

New England town meetings are vibrant affairs, not canned and planned agitprop from representatives of a single political party. Next time, let’s see an authentic town hall meeting with real give and take.

Letters Grow Community

Is city fast-tracking another project?

Was there fair public notice

by COBI planning regarding Grow Avenue? No. I learned of last Thursday’s presentation (Feb. 16) by the city’s Planning commission of the “development” project from a former council member Saturday before it occurred – despite having asked to be notified by the city.

A close friend who is on the list received notice by snail mail at the same time.

So let’s see ... Saturday is five days before the meeting.

Does this constitute fair public notice? Not in my book.

To my knowledge there was no advance notice in either local paper.

Nor have there been any truly and widely visible notices posted around town to inform and allow this community to stay atop of the largest “development” (read “devolvement”) project in this community’s history.

It seeks to dislocate 24 fam-

ilies living in the most affordable homes on the island.

Indeed, the plan is to bulldoze those homes and fell 65 percent of the property’s 142 trees (many old growth) to build 137 living units, including three-and four-story apartment buildings. Overall, it would house some 300-400 people in dwellings priced from $250,000 to $390,000.

What we seem to be witnessing is another round of COBI planning department’s divide-and-conquer, “fasttracking” strategies designed to permit projects under full view of this public.

Remember Island Crossings, Vineyard Lane, Harbor Square, Island Gateway and some 500 condos (many empty) built from the fantasy of an urban densified “Winslow Tomorrow”?

All arose from the same city planning process.

I pray those who read this missive and wish to protect these families and existing Grow neighborhood will oppose COBI’s planning, planning commission and City Council to ensure this public has a prevailing voice

in this matter.

By the way, Redfin currently lists 277 Bainbridge Island homes for sale - nine under $175,000 and 268 above that number. Do we really need more non-affordable housing – or urban density?

The next planning commission meeting on Grow Avenue was scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 23.

College education

Seniors could use frequent-flier help For the past six months the Bainbridge Island Education Foundation has tried to generate interest in the pooling of donated frequent-flyer miles that could then be used to provide transportation for deserving collegebound students.

We envision that this could work in the following way: • High school seniors would apply to the high school’s scholarship review committee.

Once need and eligibility for this type of aid are established, students could apply

for frequent-flyer miles to use on the carriers that service their college destination airports.

Frequent-flyer miles that cover two round-trip flights per academic year would be sufficient to enable students and their families to consider all of their college options.

• Alternatively, for those students whose school of choice is best reached by train, bus or carpooling with others, there could be a stipend to help defray the cost of these modes of transportation.

You may ask, “Why, in these financially challenging times, should we be concerned about the costs of sending students out of state for their college educations?”

The answer is that hardworking, talented students deserve the opportunity to attend schools where they can realize and achieve their potential.

Since we recognize that “a mind is a terrible thing to waste,” we need to step up for our deserving seniors by donating either frequent-flyer miles or cash to the “Miles for Scholars Fund” in care of vmarsing@bainbridge

Home and commercial loans done the old-fashioned way.

With trust.

Plastic bag ban

Council must have better things to do As an investor who is actively making an impact on the world clean-energy mix through green companies, I thought you might be interested in an opinion contrary to that of the proposed plastic bag ban. I have several thoughts, including: • It is not the role of a city council to make environmental choices for me. I can make them myself and do not need the nanny-state to make them because big brother Seattle did. Your role is schools, roads, police, fire and basic long-term planning. Not modifying my purchasing behavior.

• It would be a poor precedent for an elected body by acting on scant real evidence that there is a direct impact on marine mammals. Most of the arguments are based on repeating of incorrect and anecdotal stories, which have been chanted by citizens and the council.

If you want to help marine mammals, talk to the fishermen because the overwhelming evidence is fishing and nets cause most of the harm.

Your priorities are well meaning, but are based on bad science. On an energy basis, the arguments for plastic over paper are close to a toss-up on a fully amortized energy impact, and may actually favor plastic. So it’s at least debatable.

I have heard that some council members feel there is support because a vocal minority offered 100 emails in support. I would like to add mine in opposition.

Please get back to the serious business this island elected you to pursue and don’t patronize us with your political views. As grown-ups we can answer the “paper or plastic” question without governmental intervention and the waste of our human and financial resources chasing this issue.

Let the 8th Grade Student Council take it up and educate their parents to make the right private choices when they are asked the big question at the supermarket.

Gathering around food table encourages worship Food and drink is made holy when blessed and shared. The aroma, texture, flavor and beauty of food lovingly prepared is a gift that nourishes body and soul.

The sounds of the simmering pot, the hum of the espresso machine, the sizzle of stir-fry can call us to prayer.

Tapestry is a progressive Christian community that began weekly gatherings last August.

When my husband Brett and I began Tapestry with a few other families, part of our vision was to have meals together as an embodiment of the nourishment received from God and among community. We decided to begin with potlucks, and change to ready-made food when we tired

I figured that by a few weeks in, we would have reverted to deli sandwiches from Safeway or an equally timesaving food.

Instead, preparing food has become a ritual for many of us, with families beginning earlier in the day chopping veggies and baking cookies.

We think about what others in

the group might enjoy, we try out new recipes and cook with love.

Grabbing something on the way or showing up empty-handed is sometimes all we can muster, but we always have enough food to go around.

Sharing our supper is a primary way that Tapestry is forming community. Over chili and cornbread, spaghetti or tacos, we minister to each other in our meal. We remind each other that we are seen, heard and loved by God. We get real about our hungers and find nourishment at the table.

In our sharing of food, we are to be mindful, remembering the holy, blessing and being blessed. The time is consecrated, set apart. In theologi-

cal language, it is sacrament: an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace. This sacred act of sharing supper does not allow us to be anonymous.

When we join others around the table, we are invited to be known by others. This might cause us some relief but can also create some fear.

We want to be known, to be understood, to be seen for who we truly are. Yet in the same breath, we don’t want to be known too well, we don’t want our flaws to hang out and our vulnerabilities exposed.

I’ve experienced the pull to be anonymous and isolated, wishing that I could blend into my surroundings, but I have discovered that it is worth the risk to step out

consider it to be a foil, something totally insignificant, to keep us all distracted from focusing on way more pressing and important issues.

Plastic bags aren’t the problem.

It’s behavior. I prefer plastic bags for all the obvious reasons – water proof, don’t leak, the existing recycle programs, and the ability to reuse.

They don’t get thrown into the trash, or thrown onto the beaches.

And they don’t require a tree to

be cut down to make paper bags.

They’re reused and recycled.

If the City considers plastic bags to be a problem, then consider changing the focus to education rather than regulation. Focus on controlling road side litter. Focus on beach cleanup. Focus on putting trash receptacles in the parks and monitoring them. And going beyond the ramifications of plastic bags and litter, consider focusing on storm drain runoff, and pesticide and fertilizer use.

And if the City really wants to focus on something, consider focus on maintaining our roads.

The condition of our roads is the thing that consistently is brought back around to the light. Could you simply stay on top of the one thing that the people on this island really want? Could you keep the roads in good repair?

If you could, you could then probably wander off and focus on any of these other issues of less concern, with a minimal amount

of my little world. It is such relief to be seen, accepted and loved with no conditions or judgment.

Sharing a meal together is a meaningful way to speak and listen with authenticity, whether it is with a faith community, family, friends, neighbors or those we’ve just met.

We can get real at the table about our struggles and fears, our hopes and dreams. We can encourage each other, we can give and receive.

Nourished from the shared meal, we are again reminded that we are deeply loved.

of feedback.

The condition of our roads shouldn’t be considered speed remediation. Our roads need attention. There are roads that are dangerous. There are roads that are hard on our vehicles. Our shabby road conditions do not reflect the quality of our Island and who we are.

Is the plastic bag issue a foil?

20 years later, Lindsleys is still going strong

By DENNIS ANSTINE Staff Writer

As Tom and Judy Lindsley pondered moving from Kansas City, Mo., to Bainbridge to open a department store, she asked banker Lou Goller what islanders needed in the way of merchandise.

“Lou said they needed a place to buy underwear,” she said. “And here we are, 20 years later, still selling underwear.”

And other apparel, of course, as owners of Lindsleys Classic Clothing of Bainbridge store for the past two decades. And survivors, they will add, of a business that has had its share of ups and down, as have most business in downtown Winslow over the years.

The Lindsleys have managed financially by being nimble merchandisers and making few mistakes as they adjusted to island consumer habits through the years.

They’ve also been buoyed by the Eagle Harbor Window Coverings store, which they opened next door to the clothing business in 1995.

“We added Eagle Harbor when we saw that one store

wouldn’t wasn’t enough to make a living here,” said Tom, who manages the store. “We couldn’t have afforded living here without both of them.

It’s expensive on Bainbridge Island, I suppose you know.”

They’ve grown to love the community, not just as shop owners, but as islanders who value the quality of life here.

They were both in full career mode when they decided to change their lives in the early 1990s. Both worked for Hallmark in Kansas City, she as a specialty shop manager and he as an architect.

The definitive moment came when Tom came home after a long business trip and their 4-year-old daughter’s response to his return was distant.

“She wouldn’t even go to him,” said Judy. “That was it.

We knew we had to change our lives.”

They were familiar with the Northwest, and it didn’t take them long to discover a rural island 35 minutes from Seattle via ferryboat that needed a quality clothier.

Their first store was next to Ace Hardware on High School Road, but they found

Judy and Tom Lindsley moved to the island from the Midwest to slow down and raise their daughter in a safe, family-friendly environment. They also found a good way to make a living. space that has entrances from both Winslow Way and Bjune Drive about the time the hardware store decided to expand.

There have been a few changes over the years, such as realizing that selling suits and ties wasn’t going to work. Generally, however, the emphasis has been on

women’s fashions. Not that it has been easy.

“The retail clothing business is changing in that there isn’t a lot of pricing in the middle,” she said. “So we’ve gone more fashion forward for women, plus offering a good selection of slacks and sports wear.”

The key component is to

never let your inventory get out of hand, said Judy, who travels to New York City twice a year to stay abreast with the facing world.

“You have to watch it all the time because we have a lot of inventory that doesn’t turn very fast,” she said.

There worst year was in 2008 when the economy’s

downturn first hit. And this year wasn’t the best because of the street construction, though the store’s park spaces off Bjune helped keep traffic flowing in the store.

“The last few years have been better because of some changes downtown, mostly creating a good mix of retail,” she said. “There’s just a lot more to offer down here.”

They also believe the community is now beginning to consistently support the downtown merchants.

“We’ve been here a long time now,” Judy said, “and people have their established patterns. We are a business that needs to keep changing with times, such as the fact people who are in the 40-to60 age range are more active than they used to be.”

She’s also likes her staff and the store’s clientele.

“I have a friend who is doing our merchandising and is real good, so that’s been fun,” she said. “But mostly it’s just a fun place to work and the people are real positive.”

The Lindsleys said they are both engaged in their businesses and community affairs to such a degree that they’re enjoying life more than ever.

Cynthia Sears imagined creating an art museum somewhere on Bainbridge Island to preserve those pieces of art that “take your breath away, that deserve long and careful study; to give us the chance to see them again instead of them disappearing into private homes or being sent to relatives in Virginia.”

Renate Reynolds joined the BIMA team this year as Development Director, bringing fundraising and marketing skills, some honed during her five years as deputy director for the Bellevue Art Museum.

Matthew Coates, and his architectural firm Coates Design, created 10 different models for the future museum based on input from the board and the community, including the final design, shown at left.

Artists Linda Campbell and Debbie Fecher-Gramstad hold creative

vigil Tuesday nights with informal life drawing sessions.

“This is exciting,” Fecher-Gramstad said.

Greg Robinson, Bainbridge Island Museum of Art executive director, brings 15 years of experience in fundraising, management and curatorial affairs, most recently as executive director of the Museum of Northwest Art in La Conner.

er capita, Bainbridge Island is known for its high concentration of artists and creative types, so when Cynthia Sears moved to the island with husband Frank Buxton in 1989, she asked where she could see works by some of the artists she had heard so much about. She was told Rosalyn Gale Powell would be showing work at Bainbridge Arts and Crafts “in a couple of months.” Gayle Bard’s work was only showing in Seattle.

She thought it odd that the

community actively protected the forestlands through the Land Trust, preserved history with a top-notch historical museum, and had people like Gerry Elfendahl working to preserve the island’s cultural heritage, but “no attempt had been made to protect acts of the imagination, to protect it for the common good.”

A lifelong and passionate art lover, Sears considers art to be “the soul of our experience.”

“But since I don’t collect the art that doesn’t speak to me, I knew it had to have many other people with other sensibilities involved,” she said Tuesday at

Flowering Around.

The idea gestated for a decade until Bainbridge Island resident Bill Carruthers proposed the idea of building it on the corner of Winslow Way and SR-305.

Sears had imagined the museum for years, but she’d never dreamed it could go on the island’s most prominent corner, within walking distance of the ferry. But after she knew it was a possibility, she couldn’t imagine it anywhere else.

artist Max Grover. She enlisted the fundraising prowess of Cheryl Dale. She consulted with David Lewis and Steve Davis. And then she and Grover met with architect Matthew Coates, who showed them slides of public buildings, asking for their response.

“He said he realized we didn’t want an ‘architect’s statement.’ This was not for his ego; that we needed a container,” she said.

Coates remembers that process.

“It was important that the building be a frame for the art and not to upstage the artwork,” he said.

Based on board input and focus group responses, Coates created 10 models which were presented to the community in May 2010.

“I still have the 260 comment cards, bound. There were some very thoughtful comments,” he said.

Learning curve The building’s curve will lead visitors toward the entrance, and the generous use of glass allows people to see into the museum.

“We wanted it to be accessible, approachable, inviting,” Coates said. “Not just a box with cool stuff in it.”

“Sherry Grover taught me about public spaces,” said Cynthia Sears, the museum’s initiator. “People want to know they’re not going to be trapped; they want to know how something works, that they can move at their own pace and won’t get stuck with someone lecturing them.”

Once inside the lobby and reception area, an adjacent orientation gallery will enable docents and teachers to orient small groups and relay “museum manners” before setting off on an aesthetic adventure. That area spills out into the permanent collection gallery and

Once the design was set, the board went about a search for an executive director, snagging former Museum of Northwest Art executive director Greg Robinson.

Since then, the board and Robinson have been working diligently to build two foundations under the museum simultaneously.

Carruthers’ development company, Asani, and PHC Construction are handling the massive concrete foundation that will support the 15,000-square-foot, two-story building.

Meanwhile, Robinson and the board have been developing a more nebulous foundation – that of gathering support and community collaboration. They’ve met with countless community groups and individuals, listening to people’s concerns and ideas about the project.

They’ve been developing partnerships with other nonprofits on the island, such as Kids Discovery Museum which used the classrooms for summer camps. Others have presented plays, documentaries and forums in the auditorium.

an adjacent children’s and youth-focused space that might house art by kids – or art that is of interest to them.

Around the corner is a small gift shop that will carry touchstones, not trinkets.

From there, the Grand Hall leads to a dramatic staircase that ascends along the building’s curved wall of windows.

The top floor will house revolving exhibits in the main gallery and in the intimate spaces of the Sherry Grover Room and the Beacon Gallery, named for its visibility to those traveling by ferry.

A 300-square-foot roof terrace and garden overlooking the courtyard has been named in honor of Island Treasures and early museum supporters George Little and David Lewis.

An elevator (or stairs) will take visitors to the small cafe or back to the lobby.

The overall size is ample but not intimidating and natural light, greenery and natural materials will add warmth to the space as well.

Board member and engineer Ralph Spillenger, formerly

co-facilitate a weekly life drawing session.

“This is exciting,” FecherGramstad said. “The artists I know are excited about the possibilities.”

Possibilities, indeed. The board spent a lot of time and thought defining its mission and scope.

“The museum will be the only contemporary art museum in Kitsap County and the Olympic Peninsula,” Robinson said. “The focus will be to showcase the art of this time and this place.”

The art acquisition committee has just begun the work of establishing a core collection, one that will include the works of all Island Treasure recipients in the visual art category. That’s work from folks such as Joel Sackett, Gayle Bard, Hidde van Duym and Kristin Tollefson.

“The art will come from many different sources,” Robinson said.

Education is the cornerstone of the museum’s mission and the building was designed to facilitate that.

Flexible classroom space can accommodate various sized groups and even the museum space will have pockets and

side rooms that will allow discussion and instruction to take place on site. Sears believes that the museum will be a compelling teacher.

“Every child loves to draw,” Sears said. “It’s important for them to see that we think this is something valuable; that it is possible to make a record not just of what you see, but how you feel about it.”

Coates, essentially an artist who creates buildings instead of paintings, agrees.

“Art, period – not just the end result, but the act of creating it, witnessing it, honoring and preserving it – we’ve been doing that as humans for a very long time,” he said.

“On paper, that we as a community are committed to building this, goes a long way to say how important it is to us. And that’s underscored by the building’s location. When I think what could have gone on that corner – something far more commercially oriented – but instead we have what is essentially a gift to the community.”

With free admission, BIMA is hoping the space will be a place locals feel comfortable slipping into before catching the ferry or during a lunchbreak.

“He checks everything. And he’s one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met.”

Coates is so local people forget he’s a nationally acclaimed architect – whose specialty happens to be environmentally progressive buildings.

“It’s been a huge honor to be involved in this project,” he

Called into action by the ever increasing threats of environmental catastrophe, three friends - Mark Dixon, Ben Evans, and Julie Dingman Evans - upended their lives, pooled their collective life-savings, and set off on a firstof-its-kind, fifty state journey of discovery to personalize sustainability and to answer a critical question: Is our planet doomed?

Filmmaker Mark Dixon will arrive on Bainbridge Island in “Rachel (the Car) Carson,” the intrepid 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid that transported the trio around the country, for a post-film Q&A. The community is also invited to the Treehouse Café at 5 p.m. for a no-host dinner and conversation with Dixon and event sponsors and also to a night cap and dessert gathering at Eleven Winery at its new location on Day Road at 9:30 p.m.

The filmmakers crisscrossed the country in search of famous and unknown innovators, scientists, activists, farmers and artists working toward a more sustainable future. The catch: The team turned the camera on their own lifestyle, vowing to create less than one shoebox of garbage each month, including recyclables; not using incandescent light (except car lights); and not using more than 25 gallons of water per person per day.

Dixon was influenced by Bainbridge-based YES! Magazine and Fran and David Korten, cofounders of the Positive Futures Network. The film features an interview with David Korten.

Spartans finish strong at state meet BHS places third behind Lakeside, Mercer Island in 3A swimming.

By KEVIN DOUCETTE For the Review

Finishing behind powerful Lakeside and Mercer Island in the state 3A swimming and diving championships last weekend was far from a disappointment for Bainbridge Island.

The third-place team finish in the two-day event was the highest state standing for the Spartans since 1988.

Spartans coach Kaycee Taylor said he “couldn’t have asked for anything better,” and praised his team’s work ethic throughout the season.

Just as they did in the district meet, Lakeside and Mercer Island dominated swimming events at state.

Lakeside won with 311 points, followed buy Mercer Island (300), Bainbridge (229.5) and Liberty High of Issaquah (168).

Individually, the Spartans were led by senior Andrew McCarthy, who won the 500 free race for the third straight year in a close race, finishing just .19 seconds ahead of Liberty’s Logan Briggs.

He was nearly a doublewinner after placing second in the 200 free.

Andrew’s younger brother, Todd, placed fourth in the 100 backstroke and fifth in the 100 butterfly.

The McCarthys, along with Jared Bell and Colin

Bainbridge senior Andrew McCarthy takes a quick breath on his way to a first-place finish in the 500 freestyle race last Saturday.

McCarthy also placed in the 200 free, and swam legs on the Spartans 400 free relay (third) and 200 medley relay (fourth) teams.

His performances led the Spartans to a strong third-place finish in the 3A meet behind powerful Lakeside and Mercer Island.

Chupik claimed fourth place in the 200 medley relay.

And in a very competitive 400 free relay race, the Spartans (A. McCarthy, T. McCarthy, Chupik, Alex Nowjack) placed third just 1.26 seconds behind second-place Mercer Island and 2.41 seconds behind winner Lakeside. “(The McCarthys) have a great combination of things,” said Taylor. “Their genetics are amazing and they want to do their best and want to

give it their all.”

Taylor said Spencer Alpaugh really stepped up in the 200 individual medley race, finishing fourth, and again in the 500 free with a sixth-place finish. Chupik was fifth in the 50 free and sixth in the 100 free.

The 200 free relay team (Grant Dunaway, Alpaugh, Nowjack, Kevin Yalung) took home sixth place.

BHS freshmen Coleman Mitchell finished 13th in the one-meter dive.

“Our team competes in the toughest district in the state and it is a testament to the caliber of athletes we have on the team to have done so well throughout the season,” said Taylor.

After the best team finish in over two decades, Taylor said all of the two-a-day practices and the commitment they put in to the long season really paid off.

“I am so proud of how hard they worked,” said Taylor. “As I coach I really

appreciate it.”

The Spartans will be without Andrew McCarthy next season, as well as Chupik, Bell, Nowjack, and Dunaway, all of whom will be graduating.

Although the Spartans will be losing some big time talent, junior Yalung, sophomores Todd McCarthy and Alpaugh, and diving freshmen Mitchell will all be returning in hopes to keep up the legacy this year’s team created.

BOys GymNasTICs The Bainbridge Island Boys Gymnastics team had several strong performances in the 2012 Charity Choice Gymnastics Meet held Feb. 12 in the Tacoma Convention Center.

In Level 4/age 6-7 group, Leo Uyekawa placed third in the vault event and eighth allaround.

In the 10-11 group: Abe Muldrow placed first on both floor exercise and parallel bars, and third on pommel, rings and all-around; Hugh Fordyce was third on parallel bars and fifth all-around; Cameron Austin claimed third on high bar, fourth on rings and sixth in the all-around.

Level 9 team member Eric Powell finished second on pommel horse, third on rings and fourth in all-around, while Nathaniel Oplaski won the high bar competition, placed second on floor and parallel bars, third on vault, and second in the all-around.

At the Flip Out Challenge boys gymnastics meet in Lacey on Jan. 29. Bainbridge gymnasts competed against eight other teams from across the state.

Level 4 gymnasts (ages 6-7) Max Bispham placed 10th in the floor routine and Leo Uyekawa nabbed 14th in the pommel horse.

Abe Muldrow led the islanders at level 4 (age 10-11) with a first place on floor, fifth on pommel horse, sixth on parallel bars, seventh in high bar and vault, and eighth in rings.

He placed fifth in all-around.

Hugh Fordyce was seventh all-around, fifth in high bar, sixth in rings and seventh in both pommel horse and parallel bars. Cameron Austin claimed 10th place in the allaround, third in vault, eighth in parallel bars and ninth in floor and rings.

For the Level 9 team, Nathaniel Opalski was third in rings and fifth in all-around.

Kenyon places eighth, but others are overmatched BHS wrestlers fall short at tough state meet.

By KEVIN DOUCETTE For the Review

The Bainbridge High wrestling team brought nine competitors to the state tournament this year, but only one made it to the second day.

The Spartans had high finishes in both the Metro League and District championships the previous two weekends, but the talent level from the districts proved to be much higher, said head coach Dan Pippinger.

He said that the team overall had a great experience, and all in all he was happy that all of the Spartans wrestled hard.

“Hopefully this was motivating for everyone,” said

Pippinger.

Michael Wilkerson (113), Chad Roberts (120), Caleb Samson (138), Dylan Read (138), Alex Hoover (145) and Tyler Moniz (170), all lost in their first two matches.

“I know I didn’t do everything in the offseason that I could have,” said Hoover. “I am for sure going to work more in the off-season next year.”

The packed Tacoma Dome was high with intensi-

ty throughout, with screaming parents and coaches. The Spartans indicated the level of competition and intensity was a shock to some of the wrestlers who had never been to state before.

“There were a lot of different styles,” said Moniz. “I know I need to put a lot more work in mentally and physically. It was a lot different from what we were used to.”

Weber Coryell (180) and

Alex Greiwe (132) each won one match, but senior Connor Kenyon (170) was the lone placer for the Spartans with an eight-place finish.

Kenyon, who placed first at 170 pounds in the league and district events, but said the competition was a lot tougher.

He won his first match, lost his second but then won his third bout to earn a spot in the next day’s competi-

tion. He lost his first match of the second day for the eighth-place finish.

“I am proud, but there were still some disappointing losses,” said an exhausted Kenyon. “This is a big tourney with a lot of competition.”

Pippinger said a big tournament can at times be stressful, but he said it will drive everyone to want to come back next year and get a medal.

Led by Rice, BHS gymnasts place third in state

By KEVIN DOUCETTE For the Review

Bainbridge High gymnasts were literally screaming with excitement at the state tournament on Feb. 17 after hearing they scored a team point total of 167.525 – their highest of the season and good enough for a third-place finish.

“I didn’t even care where we placed,” said head coach Cindy Guy. “It almost feels like we won a state championship. I am just so delighted it was a total team effort.”

BHS finished behind highpowered Enumclaw, which finished first in every event, and nearly placed second by falling just .285 points short of runner-up Columbia River.

The Spartans finished second on the bars, third in the vault and beam, and fourth in the floor exercise.

“We were ready to compete,” said Guy. “We call it the eye of the tiger.”

The Spartans’ score of 45.850 on floor was their highest score of the season.

And on the beam, which Guy said had been their nemesis all season, they had just one

Led by freshman Sara Rice, all of the Spartans scored points, including: Rachel Kaminer, 26th on beam, 33rd on floor and 64th on vault; Marielle Summers placed 42nd on beam, 40th floor, 42nd on vault and 29th on

bars; Miller Shor finished 29th on beam and 32nd on bars; Megan Duncan was 65th on beam, 33rd on floor and 38th on vault; Grace Allen placed 70th on beam, 32nd on floor, 69th on vault and 42nd on bars; Laura Hilst placed 46th on bars and 69th on vault.

“We had really good scores,” said Allen. “It was a fantastic way to end it.”

Rice led the team in every event and made it to the finals in all events except the floor exercise.

Rice said she put a lot of pressure on herself, and was

very anxious and excited, but once she started she felt more comfortable.

She finished the first day by placing ninth in the allaround with a score of 36.575: 20th on the floor, 11th on the beam, seventh on the bars, and hit her highest score of the season with a 9.425 to eighth on vault.

“I learned to not take it so seriously, not get so stressed and have fun,” said Rice.

In Saturday’s finals for the individual events, Rice took home medals in both bars and vault. She finished in eighth in the bars and fifth in the vault. She also finished 12th in the beam.

Standing at the podium, Rice had a huge smile. She said she didn’t think she was going to do as well as she did, but was very proud of the way she finished.

“It was hard,” she said. “I was really surprised. I didn’t expect this, but now I am so motivated and more excited for the next few years.”

Seniors Allen, Duncan, Hist and Kaminer were all smiles after the tournament, but also

agreed it was bittersweet in a way because all plan to go to college next year and are done with gymnastics. “(The seniors) made it fun this year and welcomed me right in,” said Rice. “They taught me a lot and I am going to miss them a ton.”

Aside from placing third, the Spartans received an award for their academic success.

“This took so many years of hard work,” said Duncan.

“And now it has really paid off.”

Fay Bainbridge celebrates one year with work party

By CONNIE MEARS

Fay Bay Play Day

Staff Writer

For years, Fay Bainbridge was one of the most popular destinations in the state park system. With sweeping views of Puget Sound, and the Cascade Range, the park offers views of Mount Rainier and on really clear days, Mount Baker.

It has been a year since the state signed papers giving the title for the 17-acre marine camping park to the Bainbridge Island Metro Park and Recreation District.

A lot of work has been done since then, said the Park’s Operations Coordinator, Michael Mejia.

Metro Park District staff have tackled much of it, but Mejia said a lion’s share has been done by the more than 200 volunteers who donated 958 volunteer hours at Fay Bainbridge alone.

The push started more than a year ago when Bainbridge resident Jill Colley wrangled a party of 85 volunteers comprised of students, teachers, Boy Scouts, troop leaders and parents, for a work party on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, 2011.

“It was a good mix. We had about 60 youth and 25 adults,” Mejia said.

The Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District is celebrating the one year anniversary of the transfer of title of Fay Bainbridge from the state to its stewardship with a work party.

Volunteers are needed from 1-3 p.m. March 2 and 3 to help eradicate scotch broom, blackberries and ivy.

If you’d like to participate, contact Mike Meija at 8423931 or mike@biparks.org, or just show up at the picnic shelter nearest the sound, on either or both days, dressed for the weather and with gardening tools.

Another 56 parents and Scouts assembled after Michelle Obama’s call to volunteers.

“At that time, we had not taken over officially at the park, but the state was allowing us to start cleaning up the site,” he said.

The punch list is impressive, including the planting of rhododendrons, campsite

clean up and regraveling, installing new signage, and renovating the bathroom, but the bulk of the effort has been cleaning up invasive vegetation.

“We’ve removed approximately 75 percent of the English ivy, most of the scotch broom and we’re working on the Himalayan blackberries now,” Mejia

said. “We’ve been mulching large areas to keep the invasives at bay.”

When it comes to parks, the term “large areas” is relative.

“Fort Ward is 137 acres and 120 of that is ivy,” Mejia half-joked. “Fay Bainbridge is only a 17-acre park, so we can really make a difference.”

The Park District often partners with the Sustainable Bainbridge group “Weed

Warriors,” as is the case for the March 2-3 “double whammy” work party.

Hilda Julian December 19, 1917 – February 20, 2012 Hilda passed away peacefully at age 94 on Feb 20th with her son at her side. She will be remembered by everyone she knew for her kindness, generosity and interest in others.

Born in Douglas, Alaska in 1917, she later moved to Seattle with her parents and two sisters. She met the love of her life, Arthur at a City Light sponsored picnic at Cottage Lake near Seattle. They were married for 70 wonderful years until his death in 2007.

They shared many interests, including golfing and bicycling, and when living in Seattle going dancing every Friday was a highlight. While in Seattle they raised their one son, Mark.

They moved to Bainbridge Island in 1992 to be closer to their son and his wife and two grandsons.

Both Hilda’s and Art’s parents came to the United States from small villages within ten miles of each other in the far North Tyrolean region of Italy. They traveled to Italy to the towns of their families to stay with relatives on several occasions. They were both fluent speakers of the native dialect of the Val di Non and were on each visit made to feel immediately a part of the community, spending their time with relatives and locals visiting in the Piazza or helping in the fields.

Hilda worked for a trucking company in Seattle after graduating from Queen Anne High School. She was hired as a bookkeeper, but had to fill in on occasion driving from Seattle to Mount Vernon. She later worked at Rhodes Department Store, Seattle Trust and Savings Bank and then Safeco Insurance Company. One of her many passions was gardening and her yard was a showstopper when in full bloom. She loved animals and had several dogs over the years but none could compare with her beloved Molly, a darling Cairn terrier who kept her company day and night.

Hilda was able to remain in her home despite her gradual decline in health with thanks to her devoted son and family and her wonderful caregivers. She became very close friends with Buck Johnson after they both lost their spouses and this friendship was to become a lasting bond with nearly daily outings to lunch.

Hilda is survived by her son Mark, daughter in law Diane and grandsons August and Pete, in laws Lila Bergamo, Florence and Roy Allesio, Ida and John Pompeo, Rudy and Barbara Julian, niece Nancy Winterstein, and nephews Gary (Lori) Weiland and Dwight Weiland, and many nieces and nephews from the Julian, Bergamo, Allessio, Pompeo and Bertagnolli families.

Hilda was a devoted Catholic and a member of St. Cecilia Church on Bainbridge Island. Services are to be held at St Cecilia’s on Saturday, Feb. 25th at 10:00 am, with a viewing from 9:00-9:45am. A private entombment will follow at Calvary Mausoleum in Seattle at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Saint Cecilia Church or the charity of your choice. Funeral arrangements made by Cook Family Funeral Home and condolences may be shared with the family online at www.cookfamilyfuneralhome.com.

Lou passed away on February 16, 2012 at the age of 71, surrounded by his loving wife, children, and son-inlaw. He left us just short of his 50th wedding anniversary.

He was a well-respected, and accomplished scientist (Biochemist), and did his research in both Academia (University of Kansas), and the bio-tech industry on the west coast. His cancer research with world leading researchers like himself was done in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. He particularly enjoyed his time living with his family in Basel, Switzerland.

Lou made friends wherever he went. He was an interesting man to say the least. We appreciated his sharp mind, driven nature, and that he loved to tell a good story. He was a kind, and generous man who loved to have people to dinner.

Lou cultivated lifelong friendships, and along with his wife created a loving family. He was dedicated to his wife, Teri, and children, Leslie (Alex), and Scott (Shelly). He was an adoring Granpa to Sierra, Sam, Isaac, and Cole. He was intensely proud of his children, and grandchildren to whom he passed on his sense of curiosity, intelligence, and creativity.

Lou fiercely and courageously survived his cancer for eleven years. He truly did not want to leave us. We are grateful for his courage, tenacity, and his love. We will sorely miss him but cherish the memories he has left us, and treasure the family he created.

Per his request, there will be no funeral.

Donations in Lou’s memory if you wish may be made to Hospice of Kitsap County, P.O. Box 3416, Silverdale, WA 98383. Please sign the online Guest Book for the family at: www.cookfamilyfuneralhome.com.

Donald J. Westerlund July 16, 1933 - February 12, 2012 Donald J. Westerlund, age 78, a resident of Montesano, died on Sunday, February 12, 2012, at Grays Harbor Community Hospital in Aberdeen. He was born on July 16, 1933 in the Ballard area of Seattle to Axel and Lillian (Gronley) Westerlund. Don was raised on Bainbridge Island.

After graduating from Bainbridge High School in 1951, he proudly served in the United States Marines. Upon his discharge, he returned to Bainbridge where he began logging. He later moved to Forks where he retired in 1982.

D.J. slowed down after that, fishing 80 hours a week for most of the next 30 years with his good buddies.

Don married Sharon Robinson in 1955 with whom he had three sons, Thomas, David and Jon. In 1971, he married Barbara Miller.

Don loved his family, especially his seven grandchildren and seven and two thirds great grandchildren (due in May).

He was very proud of his Scandinavian heritage. His other loves were hunting in Wyoming and Oregon, halibut and salmon fishing off of Port Angeles and La Push. He also had a life long love affair with all things mechanical, building his first car from scratch beginning when he was thirteen and completing his last project – the restoration of a totaled out 1999 Ford pickup at age 77.

In addition to his grandchildren and great grandchildren, Don is survived by his wife Barbara of the family home in Montesano; four sons, Butch Miller of Forks, Tom Westerlund of Astoria, OR; Dave Westerlund of Astoria, OR, and Jon Westerlund of Polsbo, WA. The family suggests that memorial contributions be made to Childrens Hospital in Seattle.

A private urn committal service will be held at the Port Blakely Cemetery on Bainbridge Island. A celebration will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, February 25, 2012 at The Roundhouse at 110 Business Park, 100 La Push Road, Forks, WA.

Obituaries typically appear in the first issue after the date of death.

FYI POLICE BLOTTER Bainbridge Police reported the following incidents: Feb. 17 1:37 p.m. Police responded to a report of malicious mischief at a housing complex on Wallace Way. It was discovered that all of the couches in the community center for the complex were turned upside down. One of the building’s fire extinguishers was taken and discharged on a trail behind the building.

The couches were not damaged, just upside-down.

Feb. 18 10:25 a.m. A bicycle was stolen from a home on Viewcrest Avenue.

The owner of the stolen bicycle told police that he keeps four bikes in his carport. The bikes are usually unlocked. When he came outside earlier that morning he noticed the bikes were all spread around on the ground and one was missing.

The owner valued the bike at only $30. He thought it was strange that someone went through all the bikes and took the oldest one.

Police took a report on the bike.

Feb. 19 2:41 a.m. A concerned husband on Manzanita Road called police to help locate his wife, who had been missing for four hours.

The wife went to a friends house earlier that evening but had not returned home and was not answering her cell phone. He did not know his wife’s friends’ names or where they lived, but he did know what street they lived on.

While speaking with the husband at his home, another police officer located his wife and was bringing her home. The wife was intoxicated and became belligerent with police officers when she arrived.

She said that she was out with her girlfriends and didn’t meet her husbands curfew. The wife then demanded that police leave.

With the husband and wife reunited, police left the scene.

7:10 p.m. An intoxicated woman was found in the Safeway on High School Road and refused to leave.

Staff observed the woman inside the store drinking from a beer bottle that she had just purchased.

The woman was told she could not consume alcohol in the store and was asked to leave.

She left through the south doors of the store, but then walked back inside through the north doors and quickly sat down at a discrete corner of the store where she continued drinking.

The woman was again asked to leave the store, but this time she refused to move. Staff took her beer and called police.

Police escorted the woman out of the store. It was discovered that she had a misdemeanor arrest warrant from Kitsap County. The woman was arrested and booked into the Kitsap County jail.

Feb. 21 8:18 a.m. A Bainbridge Island School District administrative building on Madison Avenue was vandalized. Police responding to the call found a broken window.

The incident occurred over a four day weekend for the office and staff said that the window was intact before leaving on Feb. 16.

There was no sign that anyone entered the building. The maintenance staff estimated the value of the window at $350.

MEMORABLE GIFTS RECEIVED

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

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

O

n Christmas Eve, John Floyd will read to his wife from the book of Matthew in the Bible, just as he has for 53 years.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Between the day they met and their wedding day, Claire and John were together 12 times.

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

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

John’s schedule is precise — what else would you expect from a retired Marine?

He arrives at Messenger House at 8:15 a.m. and stays until 2 p.m. The couple spends the day together watching old movie classics starring Gene Kelly and

Fred Astaire. Claire watches from her bed, the years, reading from the family Bible, while John sits next to her, holding her hanging the stockings John’s mother hand and talking with her. made.

Claire can no longer feed herself, “We really never changed those things,” so John helps her — often some of her John said. “We tried real hard to rememfavorite foods he prepared at home, like ber what Christmas is supposed to be asparagus or beets. about.”

“I understand that [Claire] is better This year, John will spend Christmas off here than she is with me stumbling Eve with Claire, and then come back again around the house trying to do all the to be with her on Christmas morning. things she needs to have done,” John said.

“I see Christmas as a special time for “But at the same time, there is some guilt.”

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

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

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

During John’s career in the Marine Corps he was often away for long stretches of time, leaving Claire to care for their two daughters and their home.

If that wasn’t stressful enough, Claire was burdened with the constant worry about John’s whereabouts. To this day, a bumper sticker in Claire’s room reads, “Marine Wife! Toughest Courtesy John Floyd job in the Corps.”

Claire and John Floyd at the Marine Corps Ball in “Over the years, my debt to her Hawaii, circa 1971. kept building and building and building,” he said.

“When I was 15, I was given the gift of my very own room. Up until then, I had to share.” – Anna Maria Whittington-Dirk “I grew up in the ’30s and ’40s and didn’t expect a lot at Christmas. One year I got a bicycle, and it was used. I didn’t care though, I was so happy.” – Name withheld “One year I snuck around to find my gifts before Christmas. I was successful in finding them—I found a beautiful necklace and bracelet set, but it made Christmas morning very disappointing to already know what I was getting.” – Anna Maria Whittington-Dirk “We lived in a small town without much access to toys. My mom used remnants and made a bride doll for my sister and a bridesmaid doll for me. They were very authentic, complete with flowers. They were really special because she did such a good job with the – Name withheld materials she had.”

“My aunt made me a sailor dress using the material from one of her coats. She sacrificed something of hers in order to make the dress for me.” – Mavis Blackwell

GIFT MENTALITY “Unfortunately, we’ve gotten into a mindset that things are as important as people – and if children wake up on Christmas morning without a thousand things to open under the tree, that they are somehow being deprived.”

– John Floyd “Gifts are so much bigger than they used to be. They used to be homemade and the focus of Christmas wasn’t on the gifts.”

– Mavis Blackwell

FAVORITE SONGS “We sang all the classic songs like ‘O Holy Night’ and ‘Angels We Have Heard on High,’ but we only sang the first verse. To this day, I still haven’t learned the second verse.

– Anna Maria Whittington-Dirk “I like them all, but my favorite is ‘Away in the Manger.’ ” – Name withheld “I enjoy singing all the traditional songs, but my favorites are ‘Silent Night’ and ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.’ ” – Mavis Blackwell

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

– Name withheld “The Christmas season starts too early now and things have become too commercial.”

– Betty Falk “About 10 years ago, we decided as a married couple to no longer buy gifts for each other. Instead, we picked non-profits and donated the money we would have spent on gifts to charity. It took a lot of stress out of Christmas. Instead, we could relax and enjoy each other and our family and friends.

How to Save Your Healthcare Dollars

Ask us about our weekend & evening hours

As health care consumers endure higher deductibles and reduced insurance benefits, it is becoming more important to understand and compare costs before receiving medical treatment.

Patients can and should be more proactive about seeking the best prices for their services. Hospitals and doctors’ offices don’t like to publicize their list prices, which can vary a great deal amongst providers for the same service. What patients don’t know is that hospitals and doctors’ offices will share price information with patients directly if requested.

Negotiate upfront and ask for a discount from list price if you are a cash paying patient: If you have a private insurance, your provider has a contractual price list with your insurance carrier. This price list is not the same for all hospitals and doctors. If you have not met your deductible you will be charged according to that price list. The insurance price list and even the Medicare price list are always higher in larger cities like Seattle and Tacoma compared to, Kitsap County. So traveling to Seattle for simple medical services like a mammogram will not only cost more because of car, ferry, and parking expenses but you will be billed more by the provider for the same medical service(s) you could have received locally.

You are probably asking yourself at this point, how do I compare and negotiate a price?

Frequently, patients do not know the medical service, lab, or x-ray test that will be ordered prior to their office visit. So, how can you find out up front if you have picked the best value location of your preferred choices? In fact, this is simpler than shopping around for the best deal to repair your car. The prices for car repair shops are not linked. If you know the repair shop that is the cheapest to repair your brakes it does not necessarily mean it is the cheapest to repair your transmission. To compare medical costs based on an exam or service is simple because all services for hospitals and doctors have a fixed relationship. If you know which facility has the lowest fee for one kind of services you know that facility has the lowest fee for all the other services.

All medical services use the same coding system referred to as CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes and each CPT code has a relative value attached to it. These codes are the same codes you will see on your medical bill or EOB (Explanation of Benefits). CPT codes are identifying numbers assigned to every task and service a medical practitioner may provide to a patient including medical, surgical, and diagnostic services. Hospitals and medical providers negotiate with insurance carriers a dollar multiplier that is applied to all these codes.

Because each code has a relative dollar value attached they are then used by insurers to determine the amount of reimbursement that a practitioner will receive by an insurer. Since the codes are universal, the same codes means the same thing, they ensure uniformity in identifying medical services. The difference in price comes into play when insurers negotiate a different multiplier also called a conversion factor with the providers, hospitals, and doctors.

It is important to remember that the charge for service is paid differently to different practitioners despite being the same service or CPT code.

An Example for patients that have a high deductible, (more the norm now in these financially challenging times) Doctor A: The patient sees Dr A for an office call and their carrier allowed a negotiated rate of say $100.00 that would be the patient’s deductible amount to pay. Doctor B: If the patient saw Dr B who had a negotiated rate of $150 then the patient would owe that amount.

Another scenario would be plans that have a cost share split such as 80/20. The patient’s share of the “allowed amount” would be different depending on different contracts. The patients are not usually responsible for the difference above the contracted amount (Note: Medicare Rates in Kitsap County are lower than in Seattle and Tacoma which means less out of pocket expenses for those who chose to seek care locally).

How to find the right CPT code for your health issues: As mentioned above it is not necessary to find all the right codes when you compare prices. One or two codes are enough. You can search for them on the web or simply make a note of a few codes listed below. Unfortunately the search on the AMA web site is not very user friendly. You can also call the clinic and ask for the code from the billing department.

Physical checkup .......................................................... CPT 99396 Foreign body removal ................................................... CPT 10120 Closed treatment of clavicle fracture ............................. CPT 23500 Closed treatment of ankle dislocation ........................... CPT 27840 Dr. Manfred Henne, MD PhD, MS Chest x-ray, single view................................................. CPT 71010 Chest x-ray, two view .................................................... CPT 71020 To help further demonstrate how costs differ we were able to get information directly from a patient that lives in our When it comes to imaging procedures it is a bit more community for the below example. complicated.

Example: A women age 40 developed abdominal pain and needed to If you go to an emergency room or Prompt or Urgent Care be seen by a physician promptly and could not be seen by her regular associated with a hospital you will get a charge from the facility for taking the X-ray 71010 and separate bill from the radiologist reading physician that day. Because she is on a tight budget and has a high deductible she took the time and made phone calls to get an idea as to the x-ray 71010. Whereas at a Prompt Care or other Urgent Care what the cost would be to be seen at an urgent care clinic. A Poulsbo facility, the X-ray charge with the same code 71010 will combine the facility quoted an average price for a non-established patient $134.00 two charges. Therefore, when checking out imaging prices always – $193.00. She was initially planning to go to one of the local hospitals, ask if this includes the radiologist reading fee. Also, there may be where she would have paid in comparison approximately $325.00 separate charges from the facility and doctor when going to an ER $690.00 to be seen by the doctor on duty plus an additional facility under the same CPT code. “If the hospital or doctor won’t tell you fee, which the hospital/ facility quoted a range of $ 1,500 - $3,509. The what they charge, my advice would be to go to a different doctor or hospital,” says Jane Cooper, president and CEO of Patient Care, a health doctor at the hospital would have very likely ordered additional lab advocacy company based in Milwaukee. If you’re fortunate enough to studies, x-rays, and probably an ultrasound or CT scan. Her proactive action in doing research with a few phone calls and travelling a few get comparative information and an alternative hospital or facility is cheaper, go to the original hospital to see if they will match the lower short miles saved her thousands of dollars.

In conclusion, when making the choice to receive care hospitals or price. If all the hospitals you contact charge similar amounts, see if facilities associated with hospitals may not be the best choice for your you can negotiate a prompt payment discount with one of them. medical care needs—and certainly not the most cost-effective.

One major drawback of looking up prices online or contacting finance departments is that the pricing information you receive is likely to be a hospital’s high list prices. If you are insured, your insurance company probably negotiates a lower rate for you, even if you have a very high deductible. It is therefore important to talk to a person in the billing department and have your insurance information ready. This is the only way you can compare apples to apples.

P

OULSBO — Unless you are wearing all leather or are in your birthday suit, chances are you are wearing something woven.

Weaving has roots going back so far that no one can pinpoint exactly when or where it began—but it’s been around for thousands of years. And while nowadays most fabrics are factory made, some residents at Montclair Park in Poulsbo are keeping the ancient craft of handweaving alive.

You could say weaving has become part of the

Erin Jennings / Kitsap Week

fabric of their lives.

“What is being made here is incredible,” instructor Barbara MacIntyre said. “You can’t go into a store and buy it.”

Kay Sproule, 92, is beginning her second hand-woven vest. She gave her first one to her

daughter. The next one will go to her other daughter. After all, she has to be fair.

“I give all of my projects away,” Sproule said.

Weaving

Continued from page A1 Sproule’s pieces—vests, table linens and bookmarks—are pleasing to the eye and to the touch, and make great gifts.

But weaving has given Sproule her own gift: It’s made her physically stronger.

When she first started, Sproule was able to stand for only about five minutes at a time. Now she’s weaving so much that’s she’s built up her endurance and can stand for longer stretches.

On one occasion her family was trying to reach her, but she was down in

the weaving room, away from her phone. Finally, the receptionist came to find her and told Sproule her family was worried about her.

“Ah! Tell them I’m weaving,” she said. “I’ll call them later.”

Kingston resident MacIntyre has been weaving for 40 years and once owned a weaving supply store in Montana. Her knowledge of different looms and patterns makes her an asset to the senior community.

“I was looking for something to do,” MacIntyre said. “And I wanted to do something that would make a difference.”

Audrey Klein is working on a teal blue shawl.

Watching her weave the yarn through the loom is mesmerizing. The delicate pattern takes concentration.

Now that Sproule is beginning a new vest project, Klein suspects the two of them will spend many days weaving the hours away.

“It’s more fun when she’s down here too,” Klein said.

“We don’t talk. We ignore each other,” Sproule joked.

Klein clarified Sproule’s comment, “We don’t want to distract each other. But it’s good company.”

Rosalie Lemieux is the enrichment director at Montclair. She’s been bitten by the weaving bug as well as learned along with the residents. Not only does weaving provide a recreational activity, but it also engages the mind, she said.

Calculators are brought out to figure how much yarn is needed for a project and how to allot for shrinkage. Decisions on yarn choice are important.

Texture and color plays a big role on the look of the finished piece.

According to MacIntyre, weaving was used as therapy for injured World War I veterans. Not only did it provide them with something to do, it helped them regain strength and movement.

“And we’ve seen a difference here,” she said. Participants with limited range of motion in their arms now have a greater range.

MacIntyre established the Kitsap Weaving School, which holds classes at Montclair Park in Poulsbo.

“I was looking for something to do and I wanted to do something that would make a difference.”

— Barbara MacIntyre

Kitsap Weaving School and with the blessing from the director at Montclair, holds class in what is known as “the weaving room.” The classes are open to all ages and are held for all skill levels.

Having recently been remodeled, most rooms in Montclair are painted a

soft yellow, but the weaving room boasts walls of white. This simple detail is a testament to the support of staff—white walls help show off the yarn’s true colors. Special permission was granted to paint the walls white, to help the artists work under favorable conditions.

Residents who aren’t weavers often stop by and watch the work in progress.

They often mutter, “Oh, I couldn’t do that.” But MacIntyre knows they could.

It just takes a willingness to learn.

After all, Sproule and Klein are still learning.

They still make mistakes.

“We call our mistakes

‘hand-woven,’” Klein said.

“That’s right,” MacIntyre said. “It proves it was handmade.”

Dr. David M. Gent

D.P.M. METATARSALGIA Often called the “ball of the foot,” the metatarsal area is located on the bottom of the foot just below the toes. This area can become inflamed and painful, which is a condition called metatarsalgia.

Sometimes it affects the whole ball of the foot, and other times it involves just the portion under the big toe. Too much pressure over a long period can cause the condition, and it often occurs because a person wears ill-fitting shoes, high heels or other dress shoes that do not give the toes enough space. High-impact activities without proper footwear can also contribute to the condition.

Your podiatrist can suggest foot inserts or prescribe orthotics to remedy the situation.

“They were fast, beautiful and very technical to make,” he said. “It seemed like we’d fly them for five minutes, we’d crash them, and it would take us another three weeks to re-build them.”

That helps explain his path into his woodworking career. The road to becoming a chef in Seattle during the early 1980s was more practical and included time

“It was out of necessity.

My mother was a lousy cook, and my dad and I liked food,” Stangeland quipped.

It also paid the bills for his studies at the University of Washington, which took

him to Universite d’Avignon for a time. After all, his focus was French history.

He found success in creating high-end furniture and became part of the Northwest Woodworkers Gallery. The business began in 1980 at Seattle’s Pioneer Square. In December, the gallery moved to First and Lenora between Pike Place Market and Belltown.

This blend of Bordeaux varieties leads with Cabernet Franc (72 percent) from Alder Ridge Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills, which creates a spicy and tobacco leaf theme behind the cassis, Marionberry, smoky black cherry, moist earth, crushed nutmeg, green tea and cocoa powder. The racy acidity and medium body screams for pork loin or a puttanesca sauce. n Cloudlift Cellars 2009 Halcyon, Columbia Valley, $24. This red blend features pleasing oak that provides for aromas of black cherry, chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, bean, cracked black pepper, cedar, saddle leather and baseball card bubble gum.

dark cherry undertones, accented by plums, huckleberries, licorice and refined tannins that build slowly. It finishes with hints of graphite and chocolate-covered blueberries. n Cloudlift Cellars 2009 Panorama, Columbia Valley, $25. This blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc creates a broad expression of darker fruit. Boysenberry, black currant and cherry accents include hints of graphite, cedar and bittersweet chocolate. The medium structure shows balance of fine-grained tannins and bright acidity, backed by hints of violet and tobacco leaf in the finish. n Cloudlift Cellars 2010 Updraft, Columbia Valley, $17. This blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon opens with aromas of vanilla, milk toast and corn silk, followed with mango and trail mix with dried apricot, pineapple and nuts.

aroundkitsap BainBridge island review Council discusses bag ban: Bainbridge Island City Council discussed a proposed ordinance to ban plastic bags, and its possible effects on island retailers, Feb. 15.

Councilmember Kirsten Hytopoulos said that one goal of the ordinance is to encourage the state to enact a statewide ban by following the example set by some of its cities, including Bellingham, Edmonds, Mukilteo and Seattle.

Curbing the influence of plastic on the environment is central to the ordinance’s purpose and cites both the resources used to manufacture and dispose of plastic bags, and the mounting concern over plastic products

polluting Puget Sound and “posing a threat to animal life and the natural food chain.”

While the ban’s aim is to foster a healthy environment, the ordinance will also affect island retailers, many of whom will have to transition from cheap plastic bags to paper options.
