Bainbridge shelter faces epidemic of ill eagles
WELL-SUITED FOR A CHANGE
BY RICHARD D. OXLEY Bainbridge Island Review
A recent dinner party was so hungry it could eat a horse. And that’s when their trouble began, as well as a tense, lifesaving tale for the West Sound Wildlife Shelter. The Bainbridge Island-based shelter was recently inundated with six eagles, each thinly clinging to life. The eagles fed off two horse carcasses, but the free meal turned out to be more frenzy than feast. The horses were poisonous, and the eagles took a turn for the worse. “Some of these birds were in worse shape Richard D. Oxley / Bainbridge Island Review
Judy and Tom Lindsley started their classic, casual clothing store in Winslow 22 years ago. Judy chiefly managed the store, but is now ready to close up shop and start the next chapter of her life.

Classic clothing store closes after 22 years in Winslow BY RICHARD D. OXLEY Bainbridge Island Review
Lindsley’s clothing store has been a Winslow establishment for 22 years, filling a hole in the market for basic clothing needs. After May 18, Lindsley’s will hang up its “Closed” sign for good. “My goal was to retire when I was 66,” said Judy Lindsley, who owns the store with her husband, Tom. “My birthday is May 16, and our last day of business is May 18,” she said. From now until its final day, the clothing store will hold a sale to empty their sup-
plies of shirts, pants, blouses and more. “We will sell everything,” Judy Lindsley said. “Our props and fixtures, everything.” The store will be emptied, bringing a close to more than two decades of serving islanders. “It’s not just that we came here and opened a business, we’ve been a part of the community,” she said. When Tom and Judy moved from Kansas City, Miss. to Bainbridge Island in 1991 they weren’t sure what they would end up doing. But they did know that they just had to make the move. “We’re sailors and we love the moun-
tains, so when we decided to make this break with our careers,” she said. And Bainbridge Island seemed like the right fit. “Our daughter was 3 when we came out here,” Tom Lindsley said. “We wanted her to grow up in a small community, not a big city.” “We’ve been to every play, and every field trip,” she added. The couple had spent years establishing careers in the Midwest, Tom Lindsley as an architect working with Hallmark Cards and his wife as a manager of a retail SEE STORE, A31
