Bainbridge man arrested after alleged attempt to use stolen card BY REVIEW STAFF
A 24-year-old Bainbridge Island man was charged with second-degree possession of stolen property Friday in Kitsap County District Court after police claimed he tried to buy two pre-loaded Visa cards with a stolen credit card. Adrian Allan Charvet was arrested on Thursday, Aug. 14 for second-degree identity theft and seconddegree possession of stolen property. Police claim that Charvet had a credit card that was stolen from a home in the 900 block of Madison Avenue late last week, along with $170 in cash. Charvet allegedly used the credit card for a $2 purchase at Subway.
Authorities also claim Charvet tried to use the stolen credit card two more times but was unsuccessful. The first attempt was to get $200 from a Cashtronic banking site, and the second attempt was on Saturday, Aug. 9 at the Rite Aid store on High School Road. At the Rite Aid, Charvet allegedly tried to buy two pre-loaded Visa cards, but the $211.90 transaction did not go through because preloaded cards cannot be purchased with another credit card, but instead must be purchased with cash or a debit card. A Bainbridge officer reviewed video from the store and recognized the person trying to buy the cards as Charvet, a transient.

Council creates steering group
Police later created a photo montage line-up that included Charvet, and a clerk at the store picked out Charvet’s photo and said he “definitely could be the guy” who tried to buy the credit cards. As the officer was leaving the drugstore, Charvet walked in. They talked briefly, and the store clerk later came forward and said she was “100 percent sure” that Charvet had been the person who had tried to buy the credit cards. Charvet was arrested and booked into Kitsap County Jail. Bail was set at $10,000. Second-degree possession of stolen property carries a maximum prison sentence of five years and a $10,000 fine.
The Bainbridge Island City Council approved the creation of a steering committee at its meeting Monday to help guide the update of the city’s comprehensive plan, the policy document that will help guide growth and development on Bainbridge over the next two decades. The Navigate Bainbridge Steering Committee will be made up of three council members and three planning commissioners and will work closely with city staff to help guide the update process. The council members will be Mayor Anne Blair, Councilwoman Sarah Blossom and Councilman Val Tollefson. The planning commissioners will be Mack Pearl, Maradel Gale and Mike Lewars. The first job for the steering committee is to work with city staff on developing the preliminary components of the public participation plan. This plan will be presented to the community for feedback at the next public meeting being held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11 during the regularly scheduled planning commission meeting in council chambers at city hall. The public is encouraged to attend. For more information on the comprehensive plan update, and how to be involved, visit www.bainbridge wa.gov/615/ Navigate-Bainbridge-
Former BHS teacher Lois Paski passes away BY REVIEW STAFF
Beloved Bainbridge High School educator Lois Brockway Paski passed away Thursday, Aug. 7 at the age of 101. Born in Nebraska, Paski moved with her family to Washington when she was only 4 years old. She graduated from Onalaska High School in 1929 and Washington State University in 1933. Paski began her teaching career in LaCenter, Washington in 1933. She would also teach in Ilwaco, Wenatchee and Bothell before being hired at BHS in 1948, where she taught Home Economics until her retirement in 1970. She met her husband Tom Paski, renowned BHS basketball coach, while teaching in Wenatchee. They were married in 1942. During World War II, Paski moved with her
husband to various military bases before finally settling at Yale University where her husband was Director of Training for the Air Force cadets. In retirement, the couple traveled widely both throughout and outside of the country. They both greatly enjoyed playing golf at the Wing Point Golf & Country Club, where she was the first woman to score a holein-one and won a number of trophies in club competition. She loved attending reunions of Bainbridge High School graduating classes, and meeting up with former students. She was reported to be particularly proud when the Bainbridge Island School District, in recognition of their many years of service to Bainbridge Island, named the new
Ordway hosts parents meeting BY REVIEW STAFF
Ordway Elementary School will host a public meeting next week so parents can learn more about why the school has been labeled as “failing” for not making “adequately yearly progress” under the federal No Child Left Behind Act. The meeting is 5 to 6 p.m. Monday, Aug. 25. Bainbridge Island School District officials announced this week that both Bainbridge High School and
Ordway were labeled as failing and in need of improvement. Bainbridge officials noted that almost every school in Washington failed to make “adequately yearly progress” this year. Because Ordway receives federal Title I funds, parents can choose to transfer their children to Wilkes or Blakey. Ordway officials will share information about “adequately yearly progress” and the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act at next week’s meeting.

school gymnasium in honor of both her and her husband. Paski is preceded in death by her husband, and is survived by her niece, Annie Pond as well as many friends and hundreds of caring students. At her request, there will be no services or memorials. It was her desire that, in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the Bainbridge High School Scholarship Fund.

Okanogan fires claim the Zina A historic wooden boat with a storied past in Eagle Harbor went up in flames recently, yet another loss in the sad story of this summer’s devastating wildfires. Island residents may remember the Zina, which was towed from Eagle Harbor in 2008 and transported to Okanogan to be restored. Built in 1864 by James Winslow Hall, the history of the vessel was meticulously chronicled by Review contributor Jerry Elfendahl in a three-part story that was first published in 2008. The old boat, however, has been consumed in the fires that have ravaged Eastern Washington. “Our family just heard that the Zina, while in its barn out in the Okanogan, was burned as a casualty of the forest fires, and a total loss,” Christopher Wilton told the Review. “We’re pretty heartbroken over here,” he said. “We heard it from the family that moved the boat over to Eastern Washington. It was a cool boat,” he said. “It’s quite the loss.” Wilton’s cousin told him of the loss after Robert Spanfelner first informed him of the sad news via email. “I mentioned a while
back that Zina had been purchased by someone from Okanogan and had been moved to a barn in a place called the Chiliwist with the idea that she would be rebuilt,” Spanfelner wrote. “Wonderful dream, but the news is not good. Zina has found her final anchorage as part of the ruin and devastation of the recent fires.” Spanfelner said he heard of the loss by friends who live nearby where the boat was being kept. COMING SOON
