Island program gives violins to budding musicians
THE GIFT of music
BY LUCIANO MARANO Bainbridge Island Review
The tiny practice violins, made of wood and paper, sat on display as if they were fragile relics of a bygone era, as the aspiring young musicians stepped up on the stage. One by one, they said goodbye to the delicate vessels that had carried them so far. It was time to receive the real thing. Each of the children were given a brand-new violin, shiny and perfect, sized just right for the small and eager arms for which they were bound. The recent presentation was due to the work of a collective effort music education partnership between the Suquamish Tribal Council, the Island Music Guild and the Kids In Concert program. During a recent concert event, the program directors presented 14 children from the tribe with actual violins after having trained them for several weeks with mock instruments. “Three years ago my daughter, Michelle, and I started a program called Kids In Concert,” explained island resident and program co-founder Roy Naden. “We wanted to try and assist those who were not given some of the opportunities that others were,” he said. “That doesn’t apply much to most of the kids on Bainbridge Island, but for those just across the bridge in the Suquamish Tribe, it may.” Based on the El Sistema music education program originating in Venezuela, Kids In Concert began working with tribal council leaders and educators to select 14 children from 4 to 11, have them transported three times a week to a practice space provided by the Island Music Guild, and teach them how to play

Why start with the violin? “The violin is kind of the foundation of the orchestra,” explained Michelle Naden, Kids In Concert director. turn to gift | A8
The final meeting for two departing Bainbridge Island fire commissioners ended with bitter accusations that the chairman of the fire board was trying to sabotage attempts to forge a new contract with the Bainbridge Island Ambulance Association. The Bainbridge Island Fire Department has contracted with the nonprofit Bainbridge Island Ambulance Association since 1999 for basic life support transportation services, and talk of a new contract has dragged on for more than a year. Some, however, are worried that the delay in finalizing a contract is because Bainbridge Island Fire Board Chairman Dan Morrow does not support a new agreement, and wants to open the contract up for bid by for-profit ambulance companies from off-island. The main concern is that a for-profit competitor will undercut the Bainbridge Island Ambulance Association’s rates to obtain the contract with the fire department, and then raise rates later.
Talk turns testy At the Bainbridge fire board’s last meeting of the year, outgoing Commissioner Paul BangKnudsen accused Morrow — who was appointed to the board in 2012 — of trying to “railroad” the BIAA. Bang-Knudsen recalled how he appointed Morrow to the board last year with the expectation that he would do a fair job. That has not been the case, he said.
“This board has voted 3-2 earlier this year to continue the contract. However, the chair has used department resources and his title as chair to continue this oneman attack against this partner of the district. “I’m tired of it. It’s a delay tactic,” Bang-Knudsen said.
Up for bids At the center of the dispute is Morrow’s attempts to pursue a “request for proposals,” or RFP, for companies that would handle transport services.
“The chair has used department resources and his title as chair to continue this one-man attack ... I’m tired of it.” Paul Bang-Knudsen Outgoing Bainbridge Island Fire Commissioner
Bang-Knudsen noted the fire board has consistently supported a new contract with the BIAA, and it appeared that Morrow was stalling the completion of the contract until 2014, when a new majority will take over the board of fire commissioners. “I don’t think it’s fair for one commissioner to use his chairdom ... to continue to delay this process. In the last meeting, he said he’s not going to vote for this contract no matter what,” BangKnudsen said. “He said he is only going to do an RFP.” Commissioners have voted twice to continue the relationship with the turn to contract | A6

Follow-up to Motor home burns on highway film coming A Bainbridge Island man was injured and a 21-foot motor home destroyed by fire after the man tried to restart his stalled vehicle by pouring gas into the engine’s carburetor. The Washington State Patrol said the attempt to restart the 1976 Jambo motor home set it ablaze. The motor home had been disabled at the Highway 3/Highway 303 interchange in Silverdale just before 8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 22. The motor home was a total loss, and was impounded by Silverdale Towing after the fire was extinguished. The driver, Rodney James Taylor, 43, of Bainbridge Island, was treated at the scene by an aid crew. WATERFRONT PARK
City bridge will reopen The Waterfront Park footbridge should be reopened by late January. According to the Bainbridge Island Public Works Department, repairs began last week on the pedestrian bridge that links Waterfront trail to the ferry’s drive-on entrance and Harborview Drive. While the bridge has been closed since September due to safety concerns, city officials anticipate reopening access by late January. During the past few months, the city received approval for repairs from the Army Corps of Engineers and the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. The city hired Sealevel Bulkhead Builders, Inc. to complete the repairs. Residents can expect construction from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, though construction crews may work as late as 10 p.m. In an effort to complete the project as soon as possible, the city has authorized the company to work during low tides. Despite this, public works officials said the work complies with the city’s noise ordinance since the project is located in a commercial, mixed-use zone and is 300 feet away from residential properties.
Organizers of the recent showing of the film “Cracking the Codes: The System of Racial Inequity” are hosting a series of four gatherings in the coming weeks. Using videos, articles, exercises and discussions, participants will explore racism, its impacts and our role helping to undo it. The group will look at types of racism, racial identity, stereotypes, white privilege, institutional racism and how we can act to undo racism. Everyone is welcome. There is a $20 suggested donation for the series. The gatherings will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on alternate Thursdays; Jan. 23, Feb. 6, Feb. 20 and March 6. The meetings will be held at Eagle Harbor Congregational Church and will be facilitated by Charlotte Rovelstad, Peggi Erickson and Sharon Negri.

Crash victim still in hospital After spending days in Harborview Medical Center’s intensive care unit, Allan Wodenscheck was in satisfactory condition and moved onto a different floor. Wodenscheck, 24, was airlifted to Harborview in Seattle Dec. 16 after a head-on collision with a suspected drunken driver near the entrance of Agate Pass Bridge in Suquamish. Wodenscheck had a broken leg, shattered femur, broken ankle, and broken collar bone. As of Dec. 23, Wodenscheck, a Bremerton resident, is expected to make a complete or close-to-complete recovery, according to his mother, Shelly Wodenscheck. “We’re taking it one day at a time,” she said. “Thanking God he made it through it.” Wodenscheck is expected home as soon as he can be more mobile under his own power, she said. He will use a wheelchair when he gets home, she said. Meanwhile, the driver of the other vehicle, Andrew Page Smith, 32, of Poulsbo, has been charged with felony vehicular assault. He was booked into Kitsap County Jail after the crash and bail was set at $30,000, but he has since
been released. He is due in court Dec. 31. Wodenscheck was on his way to work at AGS Stainless Inc. on Bainbridge Island when the crash occurred. Everyone at work is concerned about him, AGS Stainless owner Gary Giffin said. “He’s a great guy, a valued employee,” Giffin said of Wodenscheck. “[We’re] anxious for him to come back to work.” Messages were posted on AGS Stainless’ Facebook page in support of Wodenscheck. Giffin said AGS employees have visited him at Harborview. Giffin said it’s “terrible” that Smith was allegedly drunk. The suspected DUI added “insult to injury right there.” Wodenscheck’s coworkers are thinking of him and his job is waiting for him. Wodenscheck also has the support of his fiancée, who has been staying with him at Harborview. Wodenscheck proposed on Thanksgiving, according to his mother. The family is trying to figure out how they will deal with the medical bills once they receive them. For now, Shelly Wodenscheck and the family are just trying to be encouraging, she said.

Foundation seeks nominees Kitsap Community Foundation is accepting nominations for three distinguished philanthropy awards that will be made to outstanding individuals and businesses at the Kitsap County Celebration of Philanthropy. Kol Medina, executive director at the foundation, is asking for the public’s assistance in finding the most deserving supporters of philanthropy in Kitsap County. “We aren’t always aware of the most deserving individuals and businesses and are appreciative of the public’s help in identifying worthy nominees,” Medina said. The foundation has been giving the awards annually at the Celebration of Philanthropy since 2001. “The foundation is honored to annually recognize individuals and businesses who give so much to our community,” Medina said. This year, the Kitsap County Celebration of Philanthropy will be held May 16 at the Kitsap Convention Center in Bremerton. The award winners will be announced and the
awards presented there. Kitsap Community Foundation is currently accepting nominations for the following three awards: The Spirit of Philanthropy Award, which honors an individual, couple or family who exhibit a deep commitment and heartfelt dedication to philanthropy. Nominees should have a proven record of exceptional generosity who, through direct financial support and/or direct involvement, demonstrate outstanding civic and charitable responsibility and whose generosity and involvement encourages others to take philanthropic leadership roles in the community. The Outstanding Citizen Award, which honors a Kitsap County resident with a proven history of giving generously of his or her time to local nonprofit organizations or directly to people in need or activities that benefit the community. In short, this award honors an outstanding volunteer. The volunteer work must have occurred in Kitsap County. Business Making a Difference Award, which honors a for-profit business in Kitsap County that has a proven track record of making a positive difference in the community. The business that receives this award must be a Kitsap-based business. Nominations will be accepted until Jan. 15.

ambulance association, he said. The BIAA has a storied past on Bainbridge, with a history of service to the community that goes back many decades. BangKnudsen, as well as BIAA officials, said the organization shouldn’t be viewed as a vendor under contract to the fire department, but a proven partner in emergency services. The volunteer model used by the BIAA is the appropriate one for the fire department, Bang-Knudsen said. “This nonprofit is supported by the community very deeply,” he said.
New terms in contract Officials from the BIAA told the commissioners that the nonprofit had bent over backwards to accommodate the new terms that have been added to the proposed agreement. Those include a requirement to have a fully staffed basic life support unit, including an ambulance driver and EMT, at the fire department’s Station 21 within 15 minutes of dispatch. The new contract also includes punitive damages that would be paid by the BIAA to the fire district if the ambulance association fails to meet the required response rates. BIAA officials noted they had “philosophical and legal issues”
they were willing to ignore in the new contract in order to keep the relationship intact. “Our sole reason for existing is supporting the fire department,” said Dr. Gregory Keyes, a member of the BIAA board. “We do not see ourselves as a vendor for services,” he said. “We look at ourselves as a partner.” He drew a distinction between what the nonprofit BIAA would do, and what a for-profit ambulance company. “Our job is to support the community and to support you, and that’s our primary motivation. That’s all we’ve ever done and that’s all we will ever do,” he said. Keyes said the nonprofit could provide better services at a better cost than an outside entity. And he also said the association had clearly gotten the message from the fire department that response times need to improve so patients are not waiting too long for transportation to the hospital. “We’ve heard things loud and clear that we need to be there within 15 minutes of tone-out,” Keyes said. As of Jan. 1, he said, the association will have full-time ambulance drivers for 12 hours each day, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., every day of the week, “that are ready to go at a moment’s notice.” When the first crew goes out, full-time staffers will come in to replace them, he said.
Keyes noted the fire department was demanding increased service at a lower cost. The BIAA has a goal of meeting the new response rates fully by June, but officials said it will take some time to hire more employees to meet the demand. “We know we’re not the only option,” Keyes told fire commissioners. “We want to be the best option. And we want you to be totally convinced that we’re the best option. It’s our commitment to work in that direction,” he said.
No turning back But Keyes also said that without its partnership with the Bainbridge department, the ambulance association would cease to exist. “It’s, in a sense, a one-way street. If the ambulance association goes away, it will not come back,” Keyes said. Morrow, however, repeatedly questioned how he could justify the BIAA as being the best service providers if he were asked. Keyes noted the nonprofit’s 60 years of quality service on Bainbridge. And he added that the association recently reviewed the number of complaints, formal or informal, from patients over the past five years. They found none, he said. “I received one,” Morrow quickly said. “It didn’t go as far as getting to us,” Keyes responded.
Friday, December 27, 2013 • Bainbridge Island Review
The question of transport rates also came up. The BIAA charges $550, an increase from its earlier rate of $400. “Our costs have to reflect what we pay day in and day out,” Keyes explained, “and replacing equipment every two to three years.” A new ambulance costs anywhere between $125,000 to $145,000, he added. “And that cost is going up,” Keyes said. Some on the commission pointed out that for-profit companies charge more, and said BIAA rates were not out of line. “Their rates are competitive,” said Commissioner Maureen Halligan, who is also leaving the board at the end of 2013. “I think any of us would say that.” She said she was hesitant to approve a contract that would set up the BIAA for failure.
Bottom-line questions Morrow, however, said the association had been “incredibly profitable.” In response, Keyes said the nonprofit has been saving money for decades in hopes of paying for a facility. “We’ve been incredibly frugal for over 20 years,” Keyes said. The talk of rates prompted BangKnudsen to again loudly vent at Morrow. “This is not a vending machine we get to swap out at the end of the
day,” he said. “I too have seen their financial reports. They are not socking away too much money. Do you know how much land and equipment and vehicles cost? You have to be prudent and frugal,” he said. “Why are you even attacking this gentleman when you are not going to vote for it, no matter what?” Bang-Knudsen asked. “I object to the personal attack. We disagree,” Morrow said. “It’s not a personal attack, it’s a fact. You’ve got an ax to grind for some reason,” Bang-Knudsen said. Despite their concerns over the contract, BIAA officials said they were ready to sign off on the contract. They suggested slight revisions, and offered the commissioners a slightly revised contract that contained “99 percent” of what the fire department had sought.
Decision put off But with commissioners seeing the revised contract for the first time at their Dec. 18 meeting, the board voted to table the contract until the new year. Bang-Knudsen declared it a huge victory for Morrow. He called the punitive damages in the contract “ridiculous” and the terms of the agreement “insane.” He also said he hoped the new fire board would keep the partnership in place. “Why throw away something we’ve been investing in?” he asked.

In Our Opinion
A community decision
I
t’s a relationship that has withstood the test of time. What the future holds is a different question. The Bainbridge Island Fire Department and the Bainbridge Island Ambulance Association have a decades-long partnership for providing emergency services to island residents. Since 1999, the relationship has been formalized under a contract for services between the department and the nonprofit. Although the current contract does not carry an expiration date, a new agreement has been in the works that sets higher standards for the ambulance association. Officials with the BIAA are the first to acknowledge that expectations for medical emergency transports have risen over the years, and that the nonprofit must continue to improve its operations to meet the public’s greater demands. Some, however, have suggested that Bainbridge should seek out competing bids for the transport of patients that are currently handled by the BIAA. The repeated call for an “request for proposals” has been pushed by Fire Commission Board Chairman Dan Morrow, though many are concerned that the RFP effort is a solution in search of a problem, and not the other way around. Indeed, we have heard no compelling reasons why a for-profit ambulance company is the superior choice over a volunteer-run, nonprofit organization that has served Bainbridge Island since 1946. Those pressing the RFP should be upfront in their reasons why the effort should be undertaken. The Bainbridge fire board has put off a decision on a new contract with the BIAA until 2014. Abandoning the current partnership, BIAA officials warn, will mean the permanent demise of the nonprofit. Bainbridge Island residents have much at stake in the fire board’s upcoming decision. Islanders should make their opinions known to the fire board — a majority of whom will be new to their positions in January — on any potential change, as well as on the wisdom of spending the time, money and resources that an RFP process requires.

There’s a right way to burn wood at home To the editor: It was important to hear about wood burning pollution in the Nov. 15th Review. Indeed, it is a problem, but there are some strong moral questions involved as well, and nothing in life is simple once you go below the surface. Do we pollute the air locally and harm neighbors, or at a distance and harm people living further away from us. The problem is that many people do not realize how polluting the gen-
eration of electricity is. When the writer suggests small space heaters, I would like to say that most of those are electric. Fifty percent or more of our electricity, delivered by Puget Sound Energy is generated by burning coal, mostly at Colstrip, Montana. It is one of the dirtiest power plants in the U.S. And people to the east of Montana are receiving the mercury, chromates, sulfur oxides, radioactive uranium and other contaminates which are in coal. So do we burn wood locally and harm people with respiration problems, or hurt people, mostly children, to the east by exposing them to the worst of neurotoxins, mercury. Hard choice. Then there is the efficiency problem. With generation and transmission losses, we get only 19 percent of the energy that was in that coal in Montana. With an EPA-approved wood stove we can get 75 percentor more of the energy that is in the wood. So by burning wood we get more heat with less carbon dioxide production (think global warming). And, if the trees are down, as they are on my property, the wood will rot anyway, throwing off heat and CO2. All I do in the wood stove is capture that heat in the house. That said, there are good ways to burn wood, and bad ways. I strongly suggest that anybody burning wood look at the Puget Sound Clean Air Authority web site. There is some very good information on preparing, drying, and storing wood for fuel. And it must be dry, 20 percent moisture or less, which usually means at least a year of storage.

stove (listed by make and model number on the EPA web site.) During a Stage One burn ban you cannot use a fireplace or an EPA-unlisted stove. Only in a Stage Two ban is all wood burning prohibited, unless you have no other means of heating. (All outdoor burning is prohibited in Kitsap County at all times of year.) To burn properly you need a stove thermometer, available at the local hardware store. If your fire is too cold, you will produce smoke. If too hot, you can start a chimney fire. If just hot enough there is no smoke, and very little residue collects in the chimney. Once up to temperature, my chimney shows no visible smoke. If you see smoke after the fire is burning well, something is wrong, and you are liable for a $1,000 fine from the clean air authority. So if you must burn wood, do it well. If you must use electricity, get a ductless heat pump. That will give you the most heat for the least electricity. And be aware that burning propane or oil also cause carbon dioxide production, and will cost you about six times as much for fuel as the same amount of heat from a ductless heat pump.

Investigation finds no evidence to support claims of misconduct by city employee BY BRIAN KELLY
Bainbridge Island Review
City of Bainbridge Island officials said an investigation into allegations of wrongdoing by a city employee has found no evidence of misconduct. City officials called for an investigation earlier this year after two Bainbridge residents claimed that Josh Machen, the city’s planning manager, had improperly used his city job to promote his private window-washing business. The outside investigation was conducted by Claire Cordon, a Seattle lawyer who specializes in investigating discrimination, harassment, whistleblowing and mismanagement claims. “Allegations were raised regarding the operation of an employee’s private business,” City Manager Doug Schulze said in a statement. “In order to determine whether any policy violation occurred, the city hired an outside investigator to complete an investigation.” “The investigator could find no basis for concluding the employee engaged in any type of quid pro quo solicitation regarding the private business, or other unethical conduct,” Schulze

said. The allegations against Machen were made in October by Marcus Gerlach, a Bainbridge resident and attorney, and Gary Tripp, the director of the Bainbridge Defense Fund and an outspoken critic of the city of Bainbridge Island. Tripp distributed allegations that Gerlach made against Machen on Tripp’s email listserv.
Extensive investigation Cordon’s report noted that she interviewed Machen and 14 other city employees, including two former city administrators, as well as four former city council members and 19 other witnesses, mostly Bainbridge Island property owners. Cordon said Gerlach “declined to participate in an interview in-person or through his lawyer.” She said he also refused to provide “authenticated copies of any photographs” of Machen that related to the investigation. Tripp had previously distributed photos via his email listserv that Gerlach said he had taken of his neighbor’s house, which Gerlach said showed Machen washing the windows of the home, and claimed Machen was cellos,” she said. “If we had people who were specializing in trumpets or woodwinds, we could start there, too.” The people specializing in string instruments are the musically inclined volunteers

hired for the job the day after his neighbor had a shoreline permit deemed as complete by the city of Bainbridge Island. The claims of unethical behavior were repeated in the days before the November election by former councilman Bill Knobloch, who wrote in an email distributed by Tripp: “What is it going to take for the current administration to clean up the unfair and unequal treatment of people applying for city-issued permits?” “The status quo is not working. Make your voice heard and vote for Common Sense Bainbridge candidates when you receive your ballot in the mail next week. Send a message to our council and appointed officials that you care about fairness for all at city hall,” Knobloch added.
No direct knowledge Cordon, in her report, said Knobloch cooperated with the investigation and participated in interviews in person, but said he did not have any personal knowledge of unethical conduct by Machen, and said what he knew he had gotten from Gerlach. Gerlach has had a series of legal battles with the city of the program — young adults and more experienced musicians from Bainbridge and Poulsbo — who act as mentors to the students and teach them the basics of their newly acquired instru-
over permit issues. He filed a federal lawsuit against Bainbridge in 2011 over a buoy permit and said his property rights had been violated. The court sided with the city in August 2012, and later denied a motion for reconsideration. During the court case, Gerlach had raised his allegations that Machen had tried to get business for his window-washing job from Gerlach when he had been seeking a buoy permit, but the judge said the claim had not been supported by facts. Gerlach is currently pursuing an appeal to the U.S. District Court, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Gerlach also sued the city in Kitsap County Superior Court earlier this year over a bulkhead permit, and that case was dismissed in the city’s favor in September. Machen has been a city employee since 1995. He has been washing windows since he put himself through college by washing windows, and told the investigator that he still earns extra money from the business and said he uses it to pay for his son’s school and sports activities. On the allegation that Machen had washed windows for Gerlach’s neighbor while they were seeking
a permit from the city, the investigator found that the homeowners had actually contacted Machen’s company after seeing him wash windows at a neighbor’s home, and got an estimate from Machen’s son for the job. The woman said she did not realize Machen worked for the city, and there was never any discussion about the permit that the city was processing. The investigator also noted that the permit has yet to be approved by the city.
ments. Having helped to construct and decorate mock violins out of wood and paper, the Kids In Concert students practice proper handling, posture and care of the instrument for seven weeks before being presented with the real thing. “They have been practicing how to treat and how to hold them,” Ron Naden said to the gathered parents and siblings at the concert. “And tonight they’ll get the real thing. We have some little tiny violins, you wouldn’t believe how little they are.” The goal of the program is continued education and expansion to eventually
include other instruments in this, the very beginning of a youth orchestra. The violins themselves, each costing approximately $250, are paid for by grants and individual donations acquired by the Kids In Concert program, one of only 40 such programs in the budding movement here in this country, though the formula has been proven quite successful overseas. “We’ve been operating for three years in a very small way,” said Ron Naden. “Making our way slowly to ingratiate ourselves with the tribe. And the tribe, through their education department, has given us a tremendous amount of support and enthusiasm.” The enthusiasm comes,
No improprieties found No impropriety was found in any of the other allegations made by Gerlach. “This investigation, which included 38 witness interviews and the review of several hundred documents, did not reveal factual information to support allegations that Machen engaged in unethical conduct or that he had a conflict of interest related to his window-washing business and his duties as a [city of Bainbridge Island] employee,” Cordon wrote in her report. “There was no evidence Machen engaged in quid pro quo solicitations involving his private window-washing business and his duties as a [city of Bainbridge Island]
employee,” Cordon concluded. Some of those interviewed for the investigation called the allegations “ridiculous” and “spurious” and called Machen an honest professional who was an asset in his city job. “Indeed, many of the people interviewed for this investigation called the accusation ‘ridiculous,’” Cordon said.
Serious allegations The allegations, however, were serious, Cordon noted. “Machen has been accused of engaging in egregious misconduct — offering to give property owners favorable land-use decisions in his capacity as the [city] planning manager in exchange for jobs washing people’s windows,” she wrote. That said, Cordon bluntly noted a lack of any evidence to support the claims of wrongdoing. “If Machen were engaging in this type of blatant misbehavior, surely someone would have come forward with credible facts to support such an allegation at some point in the last 10 years,” she wrote in her investigation report. not just from the adults involved, but also the children in the program. “Any time they get a chance to watch the instruments, or hear the instruments, they’re just spellbound,” Michelle Naden said of the students. “It doesn’t matter if it’s Mozart or ‘Do-Re-Mi.’ At this age if they learn, or just become exposed to it, they’ll become very enamored and very connected to music.” “We hope to be with these kids for years,” Naden said. “And each year they will develop to the next level and the next stage.” To learn more about Kids In Concert, or to learn of future volunteer opportunities with the program, visit www.kidsinconcert.org.

Spartans skin Lions for wrestling win at home BY LUCIANO MARANO Bainbridge Island Review
There was no jumping from ropes or using metal chairs as weapons, but the Bainbridge High School gymnasium was not without drama as the varsity wrestling team gripped and grappled their way to a 37-30 victory over the visiting team from Lakeside High Thursday, Dec. 19. “It was pretty much what we expected,” said Spartan Head Coach Dan Pippinger of the match. “It was a level of competition that allowed us to work on some techniques and polish some things up,” Pippinger said. Bainbridge won seven of the 14 weight classes, two by forfeit. There were double forfeits in the 106- and 200-pound weight classes. Lakeside’s Ramses Sanchez won the 113-pound class by forfeit. Spartan wrestler Greg Williams won the 120-pound class, pinning his opponent in 5:33. Likewise Jonathan Gallivan won the 126-pound class by pinning Lakeside’s Jonathan Castillo in 3:20. Chaney Weaver won the 132-pound class by forfeit. Jack Miller’s performance in the 138-pound class proved one of the more exciting rounds of the match, with neither wrestler gaining immediate advantage. He did manage to pin Lakeside’s BJ Dondoyano in 1:43 for the win. Lakeside won the 145-pound class by forfeit. In the 152-pound class Bainbridge’s Dylan Read pinned Cole Stephens in 3:02. Lakeside’s Sam Dunietz went the distance against BHS’s Joaquin Gurza in the 160-pound class, but it was not enough and Gurza was named the victor with a round score of 15-2. BHS lost the 170-pound class

when Lakeside’s Jaydon Brown pinned David Grytten in 17 seconds. Both the 182- and 195-pound classes were won by forfeit, by Lakeside and BHS respectively. Finally, Lakeside’s Daniel Gonzalez claimed a victory by forfeit in the 285-pound class. Speaking to the question of home field advantage, and whether such a thing exists in wrestling, Pippinger said he feels that the Spartans always benefit from the encouragement of the hometown crowd. “Our guys are comfortable here,” he said. “They know what to expect, there’s more of our

to the Olympic League. BHS has been in Metro since 2000-2001, though the Spartans have previously competed in the Olympic 2A/3A and Wesco 2A leagues. Opinions have been divided on where the Spartans should play. Most parents and players polled preferred Metro competition. Coaches at the high school were divided, with 11 wanting to stick with the Metro League, and eight others favoring a
move to the Olympic League.
Gymnastics called off due to snow BAINBRIDGE - The Bainbridge Spartan’s home matchup against Mercer Island and Bellingham in girls gymnastics on Friday, Dec. 20 was canceled due to the snowy weather, according to Spartan Assistant Coach Bryan Garoutte. The scheduling change

on my calendar since this summer,” said Spartan Head Coach Scott Orness. “I believed it would show us what kind of team we have the potential to become by the end of January. The game did not disappoint and I learned how much my boys have grown as men since last February,” he said. Blake Swanson led the Spartans with 21 points. Oskar Dieterich also scored in double digits for Bainbridge, and chipped in 11 points. Joey Blacker added nine. “Blake Swanson had a career high,” Orness noted. “Dieterich also pulled down 12 rebounds.” The Spartans play their next regular season game at home at 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 3 against Rainier Beach.
Spartan JV boys hoops is now 7-1 BAINBRIDGE - The Bainbridge JV boys basketball team will end their year on a high note, having compiled three recent Metro League wins in a row against Chief Sealth, West Seattle and Franklin High. “We are competing and working hard and continuing to improve in terms of executing on offense and in our defensive schemes,” said Head JV Coach Henry Guterson. “I’m proud of our first half of the season.” On Friday, Dec. 13 the team claimed a decisive 55-42 victory over Chief
Sealth. Miles Gori led the team with 13 points; he also corralled seven rebounds. Sawyer Conrad also struck quite a blow for the Spartans on the scoreboard, contributing 11 points. On Tuesday, Dec. 17 the Spartans once again won big against West Seattle. The final score was 62-55. Bainbridge jumped in front early. “We built a nice lead in the first half and had a 19-point lead going into the fourth,” Guterson said. “West Seattle gave us a scare in the fourth, but we hung on. Anders Tonsman had 18 points for BHS, and teammate Miles Gori added nine points and pulled in 10 rebounds. “He continues to do a great job in the paint for us,” the coach said. Finally, on Friday, Dec. 20 the Spartans beat Franklin High 61-55. “We played a great first half and led by 14,” Guterson said. “We knew Franklin would come back and they did, but we hung on.” Tonsman exploded offensively with 29 points, including five threepointers. “Miles Gori continues to control the paint for us, with nine points and 10 rebounds,” Guterson said. The Spartans play their next game at home at 4:45 p.m. Friday, Jan. 3 against Rainier Beach.

varsity swim team won an epic 109-60 victory at home over the visiting Seattle Preparatory team during a meet Wednesday, Dec. 18 at the Bainbridge Island Aquatics Center. The Spartans took first place in nearly every event of the meet, including the 200-yard medley relay, the 50-yard freestyle, the 100-yard freestyle, the 500-yard freestyle, the 200-yard freestyle relay, the 100yard breaststroke and the 400-yard freestyle relay. Seattle Prep did emerge victorious, however, in the 200-yard freestyle, the 200-yard individual medley event, the 100-yard butterfly and the 100-yard backstroke. Neither team had any divers compete. The win is an especially welcomed one, coming on the heels of two Spartan losses at home last week to both Mercer Island and Franklin High. The Spartans will not swim again this year.

groucho
Frank Ferrante brings his Groucho Marx to Bainbridge BY LUCIANO MARANO Bainbridge Island Review
Standing among the most recognizable figures of the 20th century, alongside Elvis Presley, Albert Einstein and Marilyn Monroe, you will find a short rude man from Manhattan wearing round glasses and a thick greasepaint mustache. He would most likely be chomping a cigar. He would definitely not be impressed by the lineup. By the time of his death in 1977, Julius Henry “Groucho” Marx had left a legacy in American popular culture that is, arguably, unmatched to this day. Throughout the course of his life he, with the rest of the Marx Brothers, would conquer the mediums of stage, radio, film, music and television. Giants of entertainment including Johnny Carson, Jerry Seinfeld, Woody Allen and Bill Cosby have all named him as one of their major influences. His legendary insults and innuendos are as repeated and imitated today as they ever were. “Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.” “I never forget a face, but in your case I’ll be glad to make an exception.” “I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.” The man surely left some rather large shoes to fill, but lucky for theatre fans around the world, Frank Ferrante has the right-sized feet. For anyone who never got the chance to truly experience the legendary comedian, a second chance has come along. Ferrante — an award-winning actor, director and playwright — is bringing his own recreation of the Groucho persona to Bainbridge Performing Arts for a very special one-time-only show at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18. “It’s been a lifetime study,” Ferrante said of his playing the character of Groucho. “I’ve loved him from the time that I was a child,” he said. “I read all the magazines, books and letters. It just became more and more intense as I pursued a professional career in theatre.” Ferrante, who was described by the New York Times as “the greatest living interpreter of Groucho Marx’s material,” was first discovered by Groucho’s own son, Arthur Marx. Ferrante originated the

He also starred in, directed and produced the national PBS television program “Groucho: A Life in Revue.” He has now condensed some of the best of his renowned Groucho material, as well as some new quips, into the mani-
cally hilarious 90-minute performance “An Afternoon With Groucho.” “It’s forever daunting because of the responsibility,” Ferrante said of the pressure that accompanies assuming the notorious persona. “I respect his legacy and his contributions so much. I always see it as an undertaking that has merit and value because I get to share him with audiences
that might not know him.” Far from a simple impersonation, Ferrante considers his portrayal of Groucho to be more of a recreation of the man’s stage personality and an homage to his comedic style. “I’m not crazy about so-called tribute turn to groucho | A17

Kitsap toasts the New Year. Here’s where the celebrations are. — page 6
he beginning of a new month in Kitsap marks the change over for many local art galleries. And in January, Bainbridge Arts & Crafts has something special in mind. “We’re starting our year on a very elevated note,” said BAC Publicist Lindsay Masters. “The Gentlemen of Northwest Art” exhibit starts on Jan. 3. It will feature the work of three artists: sculptor Phillip Levine, painter Norman Lundin and sculptor Gerard Tsutakawa. An artist reception will be from 6-8 p.m. on Jan. 3, during the First Friday Artwalk in downtown Winslow on Bainbridge Island. “This is a big exhibition for BAC and for Bainbridge,” she said. Levine and Tsutakawa are both accomplished sculptors, whose styles are unique from one another. Levine’s work often includes the human form, either alone or interacting with a set. The sculptures also often interact with light and shadows. Tsutakawa work is grounded more in the exploration of three-dimensional shapes, and negative space. Visitors to Safeco Field will recognize his sculpture of a bronze baseball mitt. Lundin’s paintings range from expansive landscapes interacting with human development — such as a road weaving through a field — to seemingly empty rooms, filled with the remnants of activity. Bainbridge Arts & Crafts is located at 151 Winslow Way East, Bainbridge Island.

L
emberger, a red wine that once was a rising star in the early Washington wine industry, is slowly fading into obscurity. Though it’s a wine that everyone seems to love, Lemberger’s fortunes always have been tied to its unfortunate name, a moniker that evokes thoughts of stinky cheese rather than a deliciously smooth and fruity red wine. Today, fewer than a dozen Washington wineries make Lemberger, and acreage in Washington has dwindled to perhaps 85. “I think it’s conceivable that it could go, more or less, extinct” in Washington, said Scott Williams, winemaker for Kiona Vineyards and Winery on Red Mountain. Williams, whose father, John, planted Lemberger in 1976, has 17 acres — likely the largest block in Washington, perhaps even North America. He still farms those original two acres, as well as plantings he made in 1983 and 1998. From those, he makes 3,000 cases that he sells for $15 per bottle. “Selling it is like rolling rocks uphill,” he told Great Northwest Wine. “There’s a market for us for about 3,000 cases.”

NW Wines By ANDY PERDUE and eric degerman
Lemberger is grown in many Central European countries, including Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. It got its name not from the German cheese, but rather from the Slovenian town of Lemberg. Wines from Lemberger grapes are often smooth, rich and approachable. The first plantings of Lemberger in Washington were in 1941 by Dr. Walter Clore, a Washington State University researcher based in the Yakima Valley town of Prosser. “He actually arranged to have it imported from British Columbia for his varietal trials,” said Wade Wolfe, owner and winemaker at Thurston Wolfe in Prosser. Wolfe makes 100 cases of Lemberger and 130 cases of Lemberger rosé, called Second Chance Rosé. “It makes the best rosé in the world,” Wolfe said. He also includes Lemberger in a blend called Dr. Wolfe’s Family Red. Wolfe remembers Hogue Cellars making it up until 1996. Then the Prosser winery brought it back for a time under its Genesis label, using grapes from Red Willow Vineyard. Washington wineries that now make Lemberger also include Olympic
Andy Perdue / Great Northwest Wines
Cellars in Sequim, Whidbey Island Winery in Langley, Alexandria Nicole Cellars in Prosser, FairWinds Winery in Port Townsend, and Kana Winery in Yakima. Owen Roe in Oregon uses Washington Lemberger in one of its blends, and Camas Prairie Winery in Moscow, Idaho, also makes Lemberger from Washington grapes. Williams said one reason for Lemberger’s demise has been the rise of Syrah, which has a more appealing name and works equally well as a blending wine. “It has been supplanted by Syrah,” Williams said. “When you look at wineries’ blends, it’s a lot of Syrah, so most of the acreage of Lemberger that was finding a home as a blend has been pushed out.” Mike Sauer, owner of Red Willow Vineyard
in the western Yakima Valley, planted Lemberger in 1979, taking his direction from Clore. He planted more in 1997, but he tore out his old block in 2011, replanting with Cabernet Sauvignon. In the Horse Heaven Hills, grape grower Paul Champoux still has four acres of Lemberger at his famed Champoux Vineyards. When he purchased the vineyard in the mid-1990s, there were 12 acres that had been planted in 1981, much of which has been taken out through the years. One viticultural issue with Lemberger is leaf roll virus, something that seems to be inherent to the variety. Leaf roll causes a vine’s leaves to turn prematurely red during the growing season, which essentially slows or stops photosynthesis. Though every single

your head around the name.” Wolfe said he believes the rising interest in esoteric varieties such as Grüner Veltliner and Albariño could fuel a mild rebirth in Lemberger. But he isn’t holding out hope. “I’m not aware of anybody who has planted it recently, and it’s gradually being pulled out,” Wolfe said. Indeed, he continues to make it each year only after a healthy debate. “I do it to honor Walt,” he said. “I bottled my 2012 on Monday, so I’ll have it at least for another year.” Ironically, the grape is finding increased interest across the country in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Jim Trezise, president of the New York Wine & Grape Foundation, said Lemberger competes with Cabernet Franc as the region’s top red variety.
Lemberger vine in the state apparently is infected with leaf roll virus, it doesn’t stop the variety from producing a healthy crop each year. Bill Powers, owner of Powers Winery and Badger Mountain Vineyards in Kennewick, made Lemberger for about a decade, both as a table wine and a fortified dessert wine. “I loved the wine,” Powers said. “But it was a hard sell. In the tasting room, it sold well, but to get space in a major chain was impossible. You were just wasting your breath.” So what could turn around the fortunes of Lemberger in Washington? First would be a name change. “The only real problem is the name,” Williams said. “If you’re not openminded, you won’t get

Where to make your midnight toast By Richard D. Oxley Kitsap Week
I
t may be a simple date on a calendar or a mere change of a single digit to some, but for many the start of a new year bears the notion of a fresh start.

aroundkitsap A look at what’s happening in Kitsap’s communities.
Bainbridge island Review Youth group opens shop: One group of young islanders took it upon themselves to open a holiday boutique in time for the shopping season — while also simultaneously helping educate girls in developing countries around the world. Bainbridge Island’s seventh-grade girls’ Wyldlife group opened a two-day “pop-up shop” on Winslow Way on Dec. 20 and 21. The event, dubbed Island Girl Rising, was inspired by the recent “Girl Rising” documentary showing, hosted by the Bainbridge High School Social Justice League last October. All of the proceeds will be donated to the 10x10 Fund for Girls’ Education, a charity started in collaboration with the documentary. Wyldlife is a nondenominational Christian youth group and talking circle for middle school age students. Made up of 16 girls, the group has worked since October to produce gifts worth selling and giving. They range from handembroidered cards to jewelry and ornaments. — BainbridgeReview.com
Bremerton Patriot Mayor fires financial director: In a city hall shakeup that took many by surprise, Bremerton Mayor Patty Lent fired her director of financial services, Becky Hasart, on Dec. 19. Lent, though, said the move didn’t come out of left field. “We have had a conversation the last few months about financial services so it didn’t come as a surprise,” Lent said, noting that Human Resources was recently removed from Hasart’s portfolio and placed under City Attorney Roger Lubovich. “Becky came in and did exactly what I wanted her to do,” Lent said. “There are cities two and three times our size that are looking for finance directors and I’m going to give her a glowing letter of recommendation.” Messages left with Hasart Friday morning for comment were not immediately returned. Lent said that removing Human Resources from under the direction of Hasart was a first step in reorganiz-
ing and streamlining city hall. Lent also hopes to figure out a way to make the City Clerk position, which also oversees parking issues and the Humane Society, a part of Lubovich’s legal department. Lent said her next step will be putting together a new job description for a financial services director that will be advertised in January. In the meantime, Cathy Johnson, Hasart’s former assistant, will take over as interim Financial Services Director. Hasart was Lent’s third Financial Services Director in her first term. Lent fired Andy Parks shortly after taking office and hired former county treasurer Barbara Stephenson, who retired a short time later. Before Lent hired Hasart, she worked in Washougal just outside Vancouver along the Columbia River. — BremertonPatriot.com
Central Kitsap Reporter Letters to Santa raise money for charity: Santa will be busy this week reading the nearly 5,000 letters written by Cougar Valley Elementary students who participated in a special campaign to raise money for charity. The letters were part of Macy’s Believe campaign, which donates $1 per letter to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Macy’s has pledged to donate up to $1 million toward the foundation this year. At the end of the day on Dec. 17, students had written 4,984 letters which means nearly $5,000 will be donated by the students of just one school. Two students alone wrote 630 letters between the both of them. — CentralKitsapReporter. com

Seraine Page ents and get them to the intended recipients. The trees held gift requests from the area’s children in need. A total of 243 out of 283 children received gifts in response to the trees. Fishline will purchase gifts for the remaining 40.
Donation boxes for toys, such as the boxes at City Hall or at the North Kitsap Herald, helped to provide presents for more children — a total of 120 to be exact, according to Rodriguez. “(The) total number of children for Christmas Child
2013 is approximately 403,” Rodriguez said. “But it could be higher as we serve last minute walk-in clients.” — NorthKitsapHerald.com
Angel sworn in: More than 60 people packed into a Kitsap County courtroom to watch as Jan Angel was sworn in as the first Republican woman to represent the 26th Legislative District in the state Senate, Dec. 17. Angel, who served as the district’s state representative since 2009, defeated Sen. Nathan Schlicher. D-Gig Harbor, in the November general election. The race between the two candidates was the most expensive Senate race in state history, at about $3 million. Angel thanked those in attendance for their support. “This road has been a tough one and it ended up being the most expensive race in the history of the state Legislator,” Angel said. “But every one of you helped get this car over the finish line. And I thank you so much.” — PortOrchardIndependent.com

Wade Wolfe, of Thurston Wolfe Winery in Prosser, walks through a vineyard in Horse Heaven Hills. Wolfe uses Lemberger in three different wines.
Continued from page 5 “People are very high on it here,” he told Great Northwest Wine. “Lemberger is regarded very highly by people in the Finger Lakes. It’s definitely on the rise.” He said Lemberger and Cab Franc are winterhardy varieties that can handle the region’s cold conditions and still ripen nicely. “Year in and year out, it makes a quality wine,” he said. — Andy Perdue is editor of Great Northwest Wine.
