Eliot Isaacs, 3, and Santa Claus watch block construction reach new heights at the Kids Discovery Museum Saturday, Dec. 20. Santa said he stopped by KiDiMu to play with the children before getting down to work next week. Eliot and Santa talked about football and Santa confessed that he is a Seahawks fan. KiDiMu provides a destination for children and their caregivers to explore art, science, and culture through hands-on exhibits, daily art projects, cultural and scientific programming.
Bainbridge Island police hope to start motorcycle patrols in the coming year in response to continuing traffic complaints. Police Chief Matthew Hamner said his department is already shopping for a motorcycle that will be shared by officers who have been certified for the job. The department has gotten consistent feedback from residents wanting greater traffic enforcement, he said, especially near school zones and for cyclists. “That’s probably been my number one complaint since I’ve been here: traffic. Whether it’s speeding, whether it’s respect for bicyclists and pedestrians and vice versa,” he said. “It just allows us to be more flexible,” Hamner said. “A motorcycle can go places and do things that cars sometimes aren’t able to,” he said. Highway 305 sees more than 6 million commuters annually, Hamner noted, so traffic remains a prime concern. “There’s a lot of traffic down the 305 and we’ve got to make sure to keep a good handle on safety. That is an issue,” he said. City officials expect the number of traffic accidents to be higher this year than last, though the total number of traffic infractions TURN TO MOTORCYCLE | A10
Pedestrian airlifted after being struck by car BY BRIAN KELLY

A well-known community volunteer was seriously injured after she was hit and trapped under a car while walking with her two grandchildren through a parking lot at the condominium complex on Harborview Drive Southeast late last week. Katherine E. Dunn, 71, was airlifted to Seattle last Friday afternoon after she was hit by a car that was backing out of a carport at Eagle Harbor Condominiums. Dunn remains at Harborview Medical Center in critical condition in intensive care. The accident remains under review, and is being investigated by the Washington State Patrol. The Washington State Patrol said Dunn was hit by a 2002
Lexus LS4 that was driven by a 91-year-old Bainbridge Island man. Melton G. Bockman was backing out of a parking space under a carport when he hit Dunn and her 3-year-old grandson just after 3 p.m. Dec. 19. Bainbridge Island Assistant Fire Chief Luke Carpenter said the child’s injuries were not life-threatening, but he was taken to a Kitsap hospital by a medic unit called in from North Kitsap Fire & Rescue. The boy’s older sister was not hurt in the accident, but was visibly shaken up by the incident, Carpenter said. After the woman was hit and wedged under the sedan, workers from a nearby construction project rushed to the scene and began putting heavy wood-

Students and staff at Bainbridge High School were left shocked and saddened by the sudden death of longtime staff member and assistant football coach Mike Roe. Roe passed away in his sleep Thursday, Dec. 18. He was 61. “Students and staff at the high school are heartbroken by the unexpected loss of yet another teacher, friend and colleague,” said BHS Principal Mary Alice O’Neill. “Mike had a heart for every student, and championed their pursuit of all career paths. We are finding it hard to comprehend he is gone,” she said. Roe was a learning resources specialist at Bainbridge High and had worked at the school TURN TO TEACHER | A15

Kudos Parents get advice on tweens More than 140 parents of tweens (grades 5 through 8) braved the December chill to learn more about “WarmheartedCoolheaded Parenting.” The event, which was the first in a series of several evenings planned to support parents of kids in this age group, featured presenters Karolynn Flynn and Kathie McCarthy, and was offered by a partnership between Raising Resilience, Hyla Middle School, and the Bainbridge Island School District, and funded by a grant from the Bainbridge Community Foundation. The series focuses on a model of parenting called “Intentional Parenting.” Flynn and McCarthy presented the foundation for the series, which included the research and science behind an approach that combines warmth, sup-

port, stability, emotional responsiveness (which is the “warmhearted” part) with limit-setting and parents’ own (“coolheaded”) self-regulation. Flynn and McCarthy referred to this event as the “lecture” while subsequent events in January, February and March will be more like a “lab.” “Information doesn’t change us; practice does,” Flynn noted. Along with information about this model, the presenters reminded participants of the positive
outcomes parents can expect from the tween years, and reasons not to wish this stage away. “The process becomes more manageable when we remember we really do want our kids to become adults, and they need our help!” McCarthy said. “The kick-off was an effort to provide the parents with a map of the territory of parenting tweens,” Flynn said. “In the next events, we’ll practice strategies that can help parents build

confidence and effectiveness as they journey through this territory with their kids.” Parents reported that they found the December kickoff event worthwhile. Participant Bonnie Albin Fraik, a parent of an 11-year-old, said, “What was most valuable and struck a chord was when one of the speakers asked us to look around. [She said] ‘The people that you see in this room are your
community and they are here with the same intention to raise our children in the best way we can.’ My hope for future events is to continue to build community and specifically for me, to learn how best to give the space for my daughter to talk to me.” Parents who didn’t attend are welcome to jump in later; four more events are planned for January, February, March
and April. And throughout this school year, participants will receive weekly email messages that include “TIPs” – Tools for Intentional Parenting. These messages will also be posted on Facebook and the Raising Resilience blog at www. raisingresilience.org/blog. Included will be responses to questions raised by program participants.

Burglary suspect found on island The suspect in an early December burglary just south of the Clearwater Casino was arrested late last week by local police after he was caught running from an apartment building on High School Road. Hayden David Armstrong-Nunes, 21, was apprehended around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 17 after Bainbridge police and deputies from the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office found him at the Rhododendron
Apartments. Sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Scott Wilson reported that ArmstrongNunes tried to flee but was taken into custody after a physical confrontation with officers. Police also arrested Armstrong-Nunes’ girlfriend, identified as Ruthanne Villarreal, 24. She was taken into custody inside a residence at the Rhododendron Apartments and booked into Kitsap County Jail on outstanding misdemeanor arrest warrants and on a probable-cause arrest charge of rendering criminal assistance. Armstrong-Nunes is suspected of burglarizing

a home on NE Laura Loop around 10 a.m. on Dec. 5. The sheriff’s office said Armstrong-Nunes broke into the house and fought with the homeowner when he was discovered, but the intruder received a serious hand injury from what police said was a large knife or sword, before he ran off. Several firearms were later found missing from the home. Police said ArmstrongNunes went to a neighboring house to look for help, but left before sheriff deputies got to the scene. ArmstrongNunes was last seen at the Longhouse Texaco on Highway 305 on the day of the burglary, and was given a ride to Poulsbo by a customer who was getting gas at the convenience store.
The sheriff’s department said ArmstrongNunes and his girlfriend have been “on the move” since the Dec. 5 break-in. Authorities said Armstrong-Nunes was taken to the emergency room at Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton after he was taken into custody due to concerns that he had ingested drugs. After he was cleared by doctors, he was taken to the Kitsap County Jail and booked on an arrest warrant for first-degree burglary and theft of a firearm. Bail was set at $250,000. Armstrong-Nunes is also being held on a no-bail felony arrest warrant issued by the state Department of Corrections for escape from community custody,

Lawyers look at allegations A Bainbridge Island law firm is looking for patients who may have been assaulted by Dr. Darren M. Chotiner, the Bremerton physician who has been charged with second-degree rape. The firm of Morrow Kidman Tinker MaceyCushman has announced that it is investigating claims against Chotiner, who was arrested Dec. 2 in connection with alleged sex crimes against two women patients who were seen by him at Peninsula Community Health Services in East Bremerton. Officials with the law firm note that victims continue to come forward, and Chotiner has had his license suspended by the Washington Department of Health’s Medical Quality Assurance Commission. Morrow Kidman Tinker Macey-Cushman is a law firm that represents plaintiffs in healthcare related
claims. Lawyers with the firm said they are investigating claims concerning Chotiner and intend to pursue civil litigation where causes of action are appropriate. “In addition to criminal charges, victims of sexual assault may bring civil claims for physical and psychological damages,” said attorney Angela Macey-Cushman. “It’s particularly appalling when the perpetrator is a trusted health care professional.” Possible victims may contact the firm at 206-842-3330 for a free consultation.

Council OKs new contract The Bainbridge city council has approved a new contract with the Kitsap County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. The new agreement for 2015 is essentially the same as the prior contract, though the new contract does include an increase of roughly $5,000 in costs. The prosecutor’s office will be paid $98,011 for prosecution services next year.

In Our Opinion
Real boosters need apply The Bainbridge Island Fire Department is looking for people to volunteer for the committees that will write statements for the voters pamphlet on the department’s two upcoming ballot measures. The election is in February. The fire department is seeking an increase in the property tax levy to 95 cents to pay for additional staffing at the Phelps Road fire station, as well as a $16 million bond measure that would pay to rebuild, remodel and equip the department’s three fire stations. The department will form two committees if volunteers can be found; one to write the statement encouraging voters to approve the measure, and another to write the opposing view. Finding volunteers to write the “vote yes” statement should be relatively easy. Recent meetings of the fire board have been jam-packed with islanders who are supportive of the department and its effort to finally staff Station 23 on Phelps Road with 24/7, around-the-clock manpower, and some have said they would be willing to help with this election. That’s encouraging, because the people who should be among the biggest boosters — the fire commissioners themselves — have given a muddled message on the future needs of the fire department and have shown little interest in completely fulfilling the strategic plans that have been developed to improve fire service on Bainbridge. Whether the board would even put a levy or bond or both on the February ballot was an unresolved question for months, as was the size of both proposals. A board majority rejected the recommendation of the fire chief on the size of the bond measure, and cut it down from $17.1 million to $16 million (in what a dissenting commissioner likened to plucking a number out of the air). The size of the levy was also pared back. Fire commissioners have tried to have it both ways on the size of the levy, saying they want full-time staffing at Station 23 and are worried about firefighter fatigue by relying on overtime instead of new employees, but then rejecting a staffing model that wouldn’t require OT to staff the station. Yes, this is a new board, and different from the one that devoted much time and energy to the department’s strategic plan. The board has reminded us again and again that they are the new majority. What hasn’t changed from the last election, however, is the desire of Bainbridge residents to have a fully funded, trained and equipped fire department that can provide the best level of service possible for the entire island. It’s a service we’re willing to pay for, and hopefully volunteers who share the passion for improvement that some on the board have not shown will step up to assist in the coming election.

Take a moment to thank our postal people To the editor: It is the time now, as it is every year, to say something nice to the hardworking folks at the Bainbridge Post Offices. While the good people who work for major corporations like FEDEX and UPS certainly do yeoman duty for their companies, we would be remiss if we overlooked the people who daily, in good weather and lousy or even hazardous, make sure we get our mail. This is especially the fact at Christmas as the Post Office men and women man their posts in the face of tons of people also pressured to get cards, packages of all kinds and other stuff to family, friends and business contacts right down to the last moment. So, since all readers get their mail right at home every day, it would be proper and right for each of your readers to take a moment to thank your postal persons. JOE HONICK Bainbridge Island
Criticism of government much easier than service To the editor: It’s not about the money, it’s the principle of the matter. Sure. I’m waiting to hear that Fortner et al are refusing the money, saving us taxpayers about $50 each. It’s not about the money. I am kind of envious that I didn’t think
of this lawsuit. Maybe I could sue for the council members phone call transcripts, just to be sure that no nefarious plots are being formed. Or maybe follow them around town to make sure they don’t contact other members. It may not be about the money, but why would anyone want to be on the city council at all, if this is what they have to put up with. It’s a lot easier to criticize government than to be part of government. JOHN CASHIN Bainbridge
Store manager’s care is much appreciated To the editor: I am a retired Methodist pastor and a member of the Bainbridge Island Kiwanis Club who sells Christmas wreaths every year. This year my duty has been at the Rite Aid store on the island. Brrrrr! It was freezing cold on Saturday, Nov. 19, but we had our wreaths outside the store. John Jay, our club president, and I were beginning to wonder if we’d be able to endure the three hours we had committed ourselves to serving. We’d been outside for 15 minutes when Rose, the manager, came out and said: “Get inside here, it’s too cold for you to do anything useful outside.” Boy! Were we grateful to have a Rite Aid store with compassion. Just wanted to thank them through the Island Review. REV. BOB WALLER Poulsbo

Consider a gift to One Call for All To the editor: Did you screen the Call? If that Red Envelope that came in your mail in October was a call that got screened, it is not too late to answer. Giving to One Call for All is a voluntary action for the common good. And, over 55 years, that giving has become a tradition that is primary to the quality of life on Bainbridge Island. Everyone can participate. One Call for All provides an opportunity to be a philanthropist that is not only easy but feels good too. You can choose to support organizations that give a hand up to our neighbors in need or organizations that work to preserve our land and environment or organizations that provide cultural sustenance through the arts and education. When we look around our community there is the bright reflection of the generosity of many. It is generosity that is more that the tangible gifts of volunteer time, personal skills and interests and money, it is the generosity of spirit. If you have already given to One Call for All this year, thank you! If not, consider a gift today, not just because it is the right thing to do or that it makes you feel good, but give knowing that you will get an excellent return on your investment in making Bainbridge Island a special place to live.

New hospital president says providing exceptional patient care is his priority BY CHRIS TUCKER Bremerton Patriot
Centralizing Harrison Medical Center’s operations at the Silverdale campus, improving preventative care and keeping an eye on the costs of running a hospital are a few of the biggest challenges that Harrison’s new president David W. Schultz, said he’s facing. Schultz’s first week on the job began Dec. 15 and he spent much of that time becoming familiar with his new coworkers and surroundings. Previously, Schultz served as executive vice president and chief operating officer at Overlake Medical Center, a 349-bed hospital located in Bellevue. Schultz said he took the job at Harrison because it was a great opportunity and because serving in an executive position as president was the next logical step for him in his 18-year-long healthcare career. “This was a pretty unique opportunity for me to be able to stay in the Puget Sound. Harrison has a great reputation,” Schultz explained.
New at the helm Schultz succeeds Scott Bosch as president of Harrison. Bosch retired in July 2014 after nearly a decade with Harrison. Schultz has a master’s degree in health care administration from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, and is a Fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives. He has a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Texas at Austin. As a UT alumnus, Schultz is a fan of the Texas Longhorns football team and he also played for the Plano Senior High School Wildcats football team. “I grew up around football. ‘Course I grew up in Texas, so you don’t really have a choice,” he said. Schultz brings with him a bit of advice he learned from one of his teachers, James D. Harvey, who ran the Hillcrest HealthCare System in Tulsa, Oklahoma. “Some of the advice he would give was: Just focus on your core business and pursue excellence. And if you stick to those two things, chances are you’re going to be successful.” Thus, providing “exceptional” patient care was a core focus, Schultz said. “That’s my first and foremost priority. My second is

David Schultz, the new president of Harrison Medical Center, speaks with Harrison employees Joni Hansen, Julie Wellborn, Diane Wasson and Amy Smith, from left, during an employee meet-and-greet at the Bremerton hospital on Thursday. The women work in Harrison’s Home Health department. to really focus on creating a healthier community (via preventative care) ... can we do some things from an education and primary care standpoint to keep people out of the acute care setting?” Schultz said he wanted a hospital culture where everyone holds each other accountable for their performance but is also enjoyable to work in. “If you can combine those things and you have a culture that supports it, that’s how you have a great organization — and that’s my job,” he said.
Single campus On the centralization of Harrison at the Silverdale campus, Schultz said a balance needed to be struck between what services were needed at Silverdale and at Bremerton to improve the health of both communities. “Being able to centralize on a single campus all your acute services is going to help the value proposition for the Kitsap Peninsula community as a whole. I truly believe that, just because there will be some efficiencies that we naturally gain,” he said. “The whole team feels a lot of pressure to do what’s right with the development of the Silverdale campus and then, again, what services are going to remain and be developed in Bremerton.” “Sorting through that is something that we’ll engage the community in doing.” Schultz said adapting to the changes related to health care reform will also be a challenge, especially in regards to how the hospital would be compensated. “Because now we’re paid to just treat an illness as
opposed to figuring out a way if we could keep you from getting sick in the first place.” “Don’t get me wrong, I think expanded insurance is great. It’s just a matter of the next wave of change is to put providers at risk to keep people out of the hospital, for instance. And that’s going to be quite a challenge for all of us, not just Harrison but all of us as we figure out how to play in both worlds until that is settled even by CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services), the federal payer system.” Schultz said that Harrison did a good job of meeting the basic and special needs of the community, and that the hospital could coordinate care with its affiliate CHI Franciscan Health or other healthcare systems should a patient need services not available at Harrison. Fiscal issues are also a concern. Former president Bosch said in May that net operating income dropped from 7.5 percent in 2008 to about 3.5 percent today. Bosch said he estimated that number could drop to 2 percent by 2020, creating a challenging financial outlook for Harrison and other hospitals. “That’s true, theres a lot of tension with being fiscally disciplined,” Schultz said. “I do think we’re in that 3.5 percent margin. It will be our charge to try and stay there. You do that through focus on utilization of your services. You do that through cost discipline.” With the larger purchasing power of Franciscan, Schultz said, “We perhaps can get supplies at a lesser dollar amount; that’s already starting to occur.” “But that (fiscal) challenge
isn’t going to go away. And that’s why you’re seeing hospitals consolidate, quite frankly. And trying to prepare … because to be an island unto yourself it’s much harder to develop services, to recapitalize yourself.” Most hospitals needed at least a 3 percent margin to keep reserves healthy, Schultz said. On labor negotiations, Schultz said salary and benefits for employees must be balanced with running a fiscally efficient hospital. “You really have to look at both sides of the equation. You have a revenue stream, so can you grow services and expand your level of services so that you can grow your revenue base?” “We have to maintain a competitive salary and benefit structure to be able
to attract the talent that you need to be able to take care of patients,” he said.
Morale is top priority One of the first things Schultz said he would work on is team-building. “Try to make sure that we’re all on the same page and that we’re all supporting each other and then moving in the same direction.” Schultz said that regardless of its affiliation with Franciscan, Harrison would make no changes to how it deals with abortion, birth control and end-of-life issues. “With regard to the ethical and religious directives, we’re a separate entity so we’ll remain secular and so we’ll continue to follow the processes that Harrison has always had,” he said. Shultz pointed out that his title is formally “president,”
not “CEO,” to avoid confusion with Franciscan CEO Ketul J. Patel. But Schultz’s duties are still those typical of a chief executive officer. Schultz and his wife Becky have been married for 18 years. “We actually met at a hospital,” he said. They have two teenage children. The family pets include an English bulldog and a Boston terrier. Schultz said he’s moved into a Kitsap area apartment already and the rest of the family plans to move here from Issaquah at some point. “I’m very excited to be here,” Schultz said. He liked the sense of community pride and support for Harrison. “I expect to be here, hopefully, a long, long time and really truly learn the community.”

Superstar best-selling author James Patterson, perhaps most known for his bestselling crime/ mystery novel series starring the fictional detective Alex Cross, has selected Eagle Harbor Book Company in downtown Winslow as one of the third-round grant recipients of his $1 million campaign to support independent bookstores around the nation. In 2014, Patterson gave away over a million dollars to bookstores across the country. The award came as a surprise — much like the true identity of the killer in any Alex Cross novel — to the owners and staff at Eagle Harbor Books. “I know there were some local customers who sent our name in as a worthy indie bookstore when the campaign to give away $1 million to indies began,” said Victoria Irwin of Eagle Harbor
Books. “As a result, we heard from Patterson and one of our owners, Rene Kirkpatrick, sent in an outline of what we would do with a grant. Her emphasis was on what we could do to make our kids’ section even better than it is now.” Patterson, who obviously knows a thing or two about good writing, evidently found the proposal impressive enough. The Winslow bookstore has not announced the actual amount of the Patterson grant they will receive, saying only that the awards range from $2,000 to $15,000, and “we are in the middle range.” Slated uses for the grant include physical changes and upgrades to the store such as new, earthquake-proof book cases, refinishing the store’s wooden floors, repainting, putting in new lighting and extending the number of children’s books available in-store. Irwin said that Eagle Harbor
Books also intends to investigate a possible delivery system. “We’d also like to find a way to do deliveries to homebound customers on the island, and upgrade our computer system,” she said. The money will benefit more than just the bookstore and its direct customers, Irwin added. “We partner with NorthWest Literacy Foundation to fill the shelves of many at-risk school libraries around Puget Sound,” she said. “As you know, many school library book budgets have been slashed. We hope we can do our work with them more efficiently by increasing our children’s’ book selections here in the store.” Visit www.jamespatterson.com to learn more about the author’s “Saving Bookstores, Saving Lives” campaign, which as been featured in the New York Times and Publisher’s Weekly as well as TURN TO BOOKSTORE | A9

on “CBS This Morning” and “NPR Morning Edition.” The author’s influence is undeniable, making his interest in child literacy and the welfare of independent bookstores that much more impressive. Patterson was featured in a 2010 New York Times Magazine article and hailed as having “transformed book publishing” through his embrace of new media. His versatility has only bolstered his popularity. From the author’s website, “In 2011, it was estimated that one-in-four of all hardcover suspense/thriller novels sold was written by James Patterson, he is the first author to achieve 10 million eBook sales, and he holds the Guinness record for the most No. 1 New York Times bestsellers of any author.” In 2015, Patterson has said he will continue to support independent bookstores in innovative ways and will champion a new initiative centered on getting kids reading and further supporting school libraries.

Using levers and wedges, emergency crews raised the vehicle and pulled the woman out. She was placed in a medic unit and taken to fire station on Madison Avenue, and an Airlift Northwest helicopter transported her to Seattle. Carpenter said the car was not traveling very fast when it struck the pedestrians. Dunn, a retired Bainbridge kindergarten teacher, is well-known on Bainbridge and is a fourth-generation islander.

Kathy is that she’s known by so many people around the island because she devoted her whole career to education on Bainbridge,” he said. She’s been a teacher for many people on the island, Peters said, as well as their children. Dunn was also a member of Quality Bainbridge, and served on the steering committee that formed the nonprofit in 2013 to promote island values and advocate for good government. She was also one of the volunteers appointed to a 10-member citizens task force set up by Bainbridge Police Chief Matthew Hamner earlier this year that examined the potential for a citizens oversight board for the police department. Most recently, she has been a member of the city’s Civil Service Commission. Gloria Sayler called her “an incredible friend.” “She’s got a really keen mind. She’s just very curious and always willing to look seriously at things. And at the same time has a great sense of humor,” Sayler said. “I’m sure she’s on many people’s hearts and minds right now, because I know how many lives she touched,” she said.

are expected to be lower by year’s end. Bainbridge police reported 202 traffic accidents in 2013, and expect 220 accidents by the end of this year. The number of traffic infractions, however, is expected to fall from 755 in 2013 to 642 this year. The city council approved money in the department’s capital budget for the purchase of a motorcycle when the council OK’d its biennial spending plan last month. The capital budget was bumped up by $34,000 to $184,000 in 2015. (The city’s total public safety budget is $4.1 million next year; a 3 percent increase over 2014.) The purchase of the new motorcycle will be partially paid for by grant money. There has also been some discussion of buying an electric motorcycle. Nothing’s on order yet, Hamner said. “We haven’t purchased the motorcycle yet; we are looking for what would be a good fit for our department,” he said.
Hamner said the motorcycle would be used on an intermittent basis, based on the availability of officers, traffic concerns, time of day, and other issues. There may be possibilities to do coordinated patrols with other jurisdictions, Hamner said, and noted that Poulsbo began motorcycle patrols several years ago. While some officers in the Bainbridge department already have civilian motorcycle endorsements, the department will have its riders police-certified, and that will take additional training. The hope is to start patrols in six months, Hamner said. “By summer, that’s my goal,” he said. Hamner also said the department is also looking into lower-cost speed signs that alert drivers about how fast they are going. Newer, more-portable models than the city’s trailer-mounted speed board signs cost thousands of dollars less. And they work, Hamner said, without someone getting a ticket. “We have found that it does lead to people reducing their speeds. If we can accomplish that without issuing citations, that’s a better bet. It isn’t just about enforcement,” he said.

Only one applicant so far for empty Bainbridge council seat BY BRIAN KELLY
Bainbridge Island Review
A former city planning commissioner has offered to fill the Bainbridge city council seat left empty by the recent resignation of David Ward. Gary Pettersen, a retired draftsman and computer programmer who has lived on Bainbridge for more than 30 years, submitted a cover letter and application materials for the Central Ward seat last week. Pettersen, 67, served on the city of Winslow Planning Commission in the mid-1980s and also served for approximately two years on the Bainbridge Island Planning Commission in 2009-2010. City officials said only one application for the vacancy had been submitted through Monday, Dec. 22. The deadline for volunteers is 4 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 30. In his application materials, Pettersen noted that he resigned from his last stint on the planning commission after “the commission outvoted me to approve a project in the historical district that would have demolished an historic house and replaced it with a modern home/office
complex.” Pettersen said it was an important issue to him, since he had helped set up the historical district in the first place. He also noted that the proposed project was never built after the economic downturn of 2008 and the historic home still exists. “As an aside, my personal taste runs to the clean lines of modern architecture, but I could not continue to serve on a commission that voted to violate the comprehensive plan,” he wrote in his application materials. Pettersen retired from his job with the Boeing Co. in Everett in 2013. If appointed to the council, Pettersen said he would work to keep downtown Winslow pedestrian friendly, help improve traffic congestion on the south end, and be an advocate for the broadcasting of council meetings. “As a resident of Winslow my major concern is preserving the downtown Winslow as the vibrant pedestrian-oriented place it has become,” he wrote in his application. “I love the wider sidewalks and landscaping, the unique stores, restaurants with sidewalk tables, museums, and even appreciate the tourists
who walk off the ferry spending money that keep restaurants and shops healthy so I can shop there, too.” “Winslow is one of the last of a dying breed. It’s a nice, compact small town that didn’t pave itself over with vast parking lots and car-oriented big box stores,” he added. “With Winslow tasked with taking 50 percent of the growth on the island, we need extra attention to keep it vibrant and pedestrian friendly.” The city council expects to appoint a new member to the seven-member council early next year. Ward’s resignation earlier this month was the first in memory. Ward stepped down as part of a settlement agreement that ended a public records lawsuit in Kitsap County Superior Court that was filed against Ward, Councilman Steve Bonkowski and former councilwoman Debbi Lester after the trio were discovered using their personal email accounts to conduct city business, but had failed to turn those public records over to the city. Bonkowski and Ward also admitted destroying public records.

An officer found the deer in a ditch and dispatched the animal with one shot from a patrol rifle.
TEACHER CONTINUED FROM A1
for 37 years. His wife, Tanya Roe, is one of two speech-andlanguage pathologists at Captain Charles Wilkes Elementary School. Roe was a longtime librarian, teacher and coach at BHS. According to the school district, he started as a language arts and social studies teacher at BHS in 1977 and spent his entire professional career in the district. Most recently, he was an assistant coach for the Spartans varsity football team.
Monday, Dec. 15 4:16 p.m. A 24-year-old Poulsbo man reported a possibly stolen cell phone and met an officer in a parking lot on High School Road to talk about the missing phone. He said he thought it dropped out of his pocket in a taxi cab after he was dropped off between 11 and 11:59 p.m. the night before at the Safeway grocery. He said he called the taxi company but they could not find it, so he now believes the taxi
driver stole the phone. Wednesday, Dec. 10 9:01 a.m. A loose fiberglass dinghy was found off the beach in the 9900 block of Manitou Beach Drive. An officer helped bring it on shore and found the address of a Falk Road man on the boat. When the owner came to retrieve it, he found the boat was gone. Police said it may have been moved by someone because of the windstorm.
He also coached soccer in previous years. “We are all shocked and saddened by the tragic loss of a friend and colleague who devoted so much of his life to us and to our community,” District Superintendent Faith Chapel said in a message to district staff. “Our thoughts go out to Tanya, Garret and their family members and friends.” “As we go our separate ways for winter break, I hope each of you will have the chance to spend quality time with family, friends and loved ones. Hold them close,” Chapel wrote in her message. The Spartan football team
was told of Roe’s passing during a special meeting early Friday morning at the high school. BHS administrators helped make counselors available to support students, staff and families who wanted to talk about his passing and share their feelings late last week. Roe’s death follows the loss of two other beloved Bainbridge High teachers this year. BHS tennis coach and teacher Mike Anderson died in a drowning accident Sept. 7. Bob McAllister, a former English and drama teacher at BHS, died Aug. 18.

OUTTA TIME
Prep plows through to OT win in girl hoops BY LUCIANO MARANO Bainbridge Island Review
Fourty-eight minutes was not enough time for Seattle Prep to beat Bainbridge, but four more saw the Panthers scratch out an overtime win against the Spartans. Friday night’s girls varsity basketball game against Seattle Preparatory was a series of comebacks for the Spartans — first falling behind then repeatedly catching up to the visitors — which ultimately made for a disappointing ending when they simply ran out of time before completing the cycle for the last time. The Spartans lost 57-53, bringing their overall season record to 2-4. It was the second of what would become two consecutive home court heartbreaks Friday, as the boys varsity team would also lose to the Panthers in overtime. Bainbridge Head Coach Nicole Hebner praised her never-quit Spartans. “That was two good basketball teams going at it tonight,” she said. The first quarter was tied up almost immediately before the visitors began to pull ahead for the first time, and the game entered its second quarter with Prep up, 18-14. Both teams scored 10 points in the
second quarter. It was early in the third quarter when the Spartans pulled ahead for the first time in the game, 31-30, with just over five minutes left to go. “That was It was not to last. two good The Panthers basketball regained the teams going at lead 34-33 with 2:24 remaining. it tonight.” Then, with Nicole Hebner just over a minSpartan Coach ute left, BHS jumped back out in front 36-34. With only 10 seconds left in the quarter, BHS made a frantic attempt to put some ground between them and the visitors and the game entered its final quarter with the Spartans still in front 39-36. In the fourth quarter, SP outscored Bainbridge 15-12, just enough to even things up and bring the contest to overtime at 51-51. BHS lead the initial overtime scoring efforts, but were ultimately left behind in a flurry of late-game scoring by the Panthers. Coach Hebner said that the team TURN TO HOOPS | A19

BHS set to dish out another wrestling season smackdown BY LUCIANO MARANO
2014-15 BHS wrestling schedule
Bainbridge Island Review
The wrestlers on this year’s Bainbridge High varsity squad are mean and lean. Really lean. Their current heavyweight doesn’t top 182-pounds, and most of the team weighs in at considerably less. “It’s a little hard,” said BHS Head Coach Dan Pippinger of the lack of heavier wrestlers. “That’s difficult. It will be hard letting another team get points for not having someone on the mat.” Still, Pippinger said he believes the slightly smaller Spartans will bring just as big a fight as last year’s squad, which not only made the trip to state but brought home a seventh-place finisher. “One hundred-seventy pounds is the biggest that we have,” Pippinger said, indicating returning senior grappler and current co-team captain Joaquin Gurza. This year’s squad of 19 is made up of five seniors and a large number of returners, he continued. “The guys that have come back have good experience,” Pippinger said. “It’s pretty evident when we get on the mat they know what they’re doing.” The team’s ability turned out to be more than pretty evident to the Spartans’ first opponent of the year when they defeated Chief Sealth 58-18 earlier this month. They won every single match in which they had a weight-appropriate wrestler to enter, losing only three forfeits and enduring one early double forfeit in the 106-pound class. “Part of that’s the level of competition,” Pippinger said of the team’s initial victory. “But you can’t argue with — I think we had nine matches or eight matches — and seven of the eight were pins.” “It was a good start because it kind of got us rolling and the kids feel success,” he added. “But, it’s easy to see places where we can improve.” In addition to the swath of returners, Pippinger said that the team was fortunate this year to have eight freshman join up. “It’s a really good, hardworking group,” he said of the newbies. “If I had eight

to 10 kids in each class, that’d be awesome. But this young group, they’re enthusiastic, they work hard, they’re coachable, they’re learning [and] they learn really fast.” “They’re keeping up with the older guys just in terms of technique and what we’re working on” he added. With the addition of some new names to the Metro League roster this season, Pippinger said the Spartans’ toughest foes may be the least known. “There’s three new schools in the Metro League,” he said. “I have no idea what they look like.” Some opponents, however, are the same old threats, he added. “This year I would guess that O’Dea [will be]; they just have the numbers that’s always helpful for them,” he explained. “Each team has a good wrestler or two, so you always have to be prepared,” Pippinger said. “The challenge for us is just to wrestle the same regardless of the opponent. We always train to our own standard and try to accomplish that, no matter what.”
Returning BHS junior wrestler, and previous seventh-place state finisher, Jack Miller is one of the team’s experts on setting personal standards. He said that the squad was shaping up well so far this year and he expected everyone to do well. “We go through a lot of technique, just focusing on our moves and getting them right,” Miller said of the season’s earlier practices. “Then we pick up the intensity.” Miller is one of the team’s few year-round wrestlers, and said he intends to compete at 145 pounds for now and hopefully cut down to 138 later in the season. “I think I’m going to do good,” Miller said during a recent practice session. Fellow Spartan returner, BHS senior and team co-captain Jonathan Gallivan, is also coming back from a stellar season. “I won Metros, I took fourth at Regionals and I didn’t place at state,” he said. Considering what it takes in order to be a successful wrestler, and trying to impart some of that knowledge to such a large crop of freshman grapplers, one

Then, sophomore year, I only lost one Metro match.” Whether or not grit will be enough to see them return to the state tournament in Tacoma again this year remains to be seen, but the Spartans are off to a good start and are definitely out to showcase the advantage gained through the weight of their team experience. No matter what the scale says.

SP sneaks to last second OT win in boys basketball BY LUCIANO MARANO Bainbridge Island Review
The mood in Paski Gymnasium Friday nigh after the boys varsity basketball game was one of utter disbelief. Students and fans wandered around the empty court afterward, talking about something — anything — other than what just happened, as the victorious Seattle Preparatory Panthers wasted no time in shaking hands and hitting the road, scurrying for their 9:45 p.m. ferry back home. The Spartans were then finally forced to sit down and ask themselves: What just happened here? What had just happened was in fact a stunning 52-51 last-second come-frombehind win by Prep in overtime, the second win in Paski for the visitors Friday (the girls varsity team also won against the Spartans in overtime earlier). A lightning-quick three-pointer by Prep’s Jack Stewart in the last possible seconds of overtime clinched the win for Prep, ending an epic late-game run which saw them pull ahead, having been down nine points with scarcely 1:30 left to go. It truly had been the Spartans’ game to lose from the start. BHS led 13-11 at the end of the first quarter and dominated in the second, outscoring the visitors 19-7. Leading 32-18 at the end of the half, the Spartans came back out to find their
position was not as secure as they may have believed. In the third, Prep managed to find its offense — and outscored BHS 10-7 — which would carry them through the rest of the game. In the game’s final quarter, the Panthers literally doubled Bainbridge’s scoring efforts (24-12) and managed to even things up at 51-51 with less than 30 seconds to go. The gymnasium erupted as the game entered OT, but the cheers from the Spartan side were to be short-lived because, then — for the second time in the game — the Panthers proved that every second really does count as they managed a last-second trey to claim the win. Though the actual winning points came in the last possible seconds, Spartan Head Coach Scott Orness said that things had begun to go wrong for the Spartans even before that. “I’m really looking at the last four minutes,” he explained. “We started playing just to hold on to the lead and not to win it, and against good teams, like Seattle Prep, they’re going to just keep pecking away.” “We made a lot of mistakes,” Orness added. “I don’t know how many turnovers we had in the last four minutes, but it wasn’t good.” The Spartan scoring machine had been led throughout the game by Blake Swanson, who managed 17 total.

BHS senior wing/post Oskar Dieterich struggles for the ball after managing a rebound late in Friday’s game against the Seattle Preparatory Panthers. Both Ben Beatie and Lyle Terry each scored eight points, Oskar Dieterich chipped in five and Trent Schulte finished the night with four. The defeat was the Spartans’ second consecutive loss at home, following their disappointing game last Friday against Garfield High. It was also the team’s last Friday night home game scheduled in this season. The Spartans’ season record fell to 1-4 (0-4 in league play), earning them the 14th-place ranking in the Metro League. Garfield High currently boasts the top spot in the league, with an overall record of 6-0.

in 4:55. Gregg Williams scored the first Spartan win of the night in the 138-pound match, pinning Charlie MacIntire in 1:49. NH won the 145-pound class by forfeit. Hague Bush returned the favor and scored the second Spartan win, by forfeit, in the 152-pound match. Nathan Hale’s Chris Moore won the 160-pound match in a 4-2 overtime decision against Aaron Jumpa. Then, in the 170-pound match, Joaquin Gurza pinned NH’s Gunner Welsh in only 25 seconds. The older of the Bainbridge Topham brothers, Liam, claimed a victory by forfeit in the 182-
Entering into what basically amounts to the midway point of the season, BHS is ranked ahead of both Chief Sealth and Nathan Hale (0-5 in league play, both). If the Spartans hope to save their slowly sinking season, Orness explained, they would have to first of all settle down on the court and focus. “We had to use half of each of our timeouts just settling our guys down,” he said. “We were really rattled and we can’t do that. We’ve got a veteran crew that understands that one or two mistakes might happen, but you can’t just let them keep happening. You’ve got to respond in a positive way.”
pound class. A double forfeit negated the 195-pound class, and NH claimed wins through forfeit in both the 220- and 285-pound classes.
Girls outgunned by Holy Names in hoops SEATTLE - The Spartans found themselves more than a little behind the curve in last Wednesday’s away game against Holy Names Academy. The varsity girls basketball team was beaten 67-23, bringing their overall season record to 2-3. HNA lead in every quarter but the fourth, when BHS finally managed to outscore their hosts, 7-4. In the first, the Cougars jumped ahead 20-9 and again
The Bainbridge Island varsity wrestling team took the visitors from Ballard to the mat hard Tuesday in the squad’s first home meet of the season and won a decisive 36-18 victory. Though forfeits marked the lowest and upper weight classes for both teams, BHS claimed the win through several key pins in the middle weight range. Double forfeits negated the 106-, 113-, 195- and 220-pound matches. Bainbridge scored some easy early points as Cade Topham (120-pounds), Myron Butler (126) and Bo Baird (132) each claimed a win by forfeit right off the bat. Then, despite a valiant effort, Greg Williams lost what turned out to be one of the evening’s most exciting matches. He was pinned by Ballard’s Tristrom Fetters in 5:09, making for a Spartan loss in the 138-pound class. Mario Rowe was also pinned by Ballard’s Chris White in 1:23 in the 145-pound match. Hague Bush swung things back around for the home team and pinned Ballard’s Brian Shinn in 1 minute flat for a BHS win in the 152pound class. Aaron Jumpa earned a victory by forfeit in the 160-pound match. Then, in the 170-pound match, Bainbridge’s Liam Topham pinned Carlos Lopez Alvarez in 1:37.
in the second quarter outscored the Spartans 17-7. The third quarter was arguably the most devastating for the Spartans. BHS was unable to achieve any offensive gains at all, while HNA jumped ahead 26 more points. Katie Usellis was the top scorer for BHS, and contributed 11 total. Perpetual Spartan scoring machine sophomore guard Taylor Tye managed seven. Senior post Kayla Buchmeier chipped in four points and Natalie Beatie added one point.

Greg Williams scored some impressive take downs, but was ultimately beaten by Ballard’s Tristrom Fetters in the Spartan squad’s first home meet of the season last week. The current Spartan heavyweight and team co-captain Joaquin Gurza claimed a forfeit win in the 182-pound match. Ballard brought the heaviest contender of the evening, however, and claimed a forfeit win in the 285-pound match through Adam Deehring. Spartan Head Coach Dan Pippinger said that a match victory at home was — of course — nice, but that the team didn’t place a lot of emphasis on this type of competition and that he found it much more beneficial overall to focus on the tournaments the team would travel to throughout the season. “It’s hard to measure, really, with so few matches what’s really happening,” Pippinger explained of the evening.

Tuesday. The loss on the road brought the boys varsity basketball team season record to 1-3. Bainbridge led the game initially, outscoring O’Dea 14-6 in the first quarter. It was an intensity, however, that they could not maintain. In the second quarter, the host school lead 17-13 and pulled further ahead to an even greater advantage (18-6) in the third. Bainbridge seemed to pull together in the fourth and again outscored the Fighting Irish (2417), but it was not enough. Ben Beatie led BHS in points, and earned 21 in the game. Trent Schulte managed to score 12 total points, while Blake Swanson added eight and Lyle Terry again distinguished himself this season with six points scored.

Seattle Prep was a difficult team, Hebner explained, and one that obviously knew when and where to apply pressure during critical moments. “They don’t look to push the tempo as much as some of the other teams we’ve played,” she explained. “They’re not as ‘in your face.’” “I think that actually worked to our advantage,” Hebner added. “But, I think that they’re big, they’re strong, they play year-round. They’re a good basketball team.” The team’s perpetual points leader was once again Taylor Tye, who scored 14 total points. Katie Usellis managed 10 points, Paulina Bredy chipped in nine and Kiera Havill totaled five points for the Spartans. BHS is currently ranked 14th in the Metro League, ahead of Chief Sealth, Roosevelt, Nathan Hale and Franklin. West Seattle has laid claim to the top spot, with a perfect 6-0 record.

Obituaries Margaret Evelyn Byer Margaret Evelyn Byer, 90, beloved and loving mother of Andrew Guy Byer, A l a n Dewey B y e r , Holly Byer R e n f r e w, a n d Matthew Wilson Byer; departed this life on Dec. 15, 2014. She is survived by her sons and daughter; eight grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. In addition, a great-great-granddaughter is expected in March, 2015. She was preceded in death by her husband, Arley
Wilson Byer; parents, Dewey and Margaret Hollinger; an infant son, Alexander; and her grandson, Dwight H. Renfrew III. She was born in Lowell, Ohio in 1923, and grew up across the Ohio River in Parkersburg, West Virginia, where she graduated from Parkersburg High School. She continued her education at Morris Harvey College in Charleston, West Virginia. Margaret was a lifelong musician and vocalist, and she and her father, Dewey Hollinger, played together in the Charleston Symphony when the family moved to that city in the 1940s. Later, she sang with the Charleston Civic Chorus; and she was active in the Charleston
Community Music Association, serving as an officer for many decades. For more than 60 years, Margaret sang with the chancel choir at First Presbyterian Church of South Charleston. An avid tennis player, Margaret was active for decades in amateur tennis leagues in the Charleston area along with husband Wilson. For more than 30 years, Margaret volunteered faithfully with Meals on Wheels of Charleston, preparing and serving meals at their Thomas Memorial Hospital center in South Charleston. After her husband died in August 2011, Margaret began making plans to move to Bainbridge Island to join two of her children, Matthew and Holly. However, she suffered a catastrophic fall in the
Page A23
spring of 2012, an accident that could have altered her plans and, ultimately, ended her life. In an inspirational battle with grave injuries, she regained her health and recovered her mobility to the extent that she, with her children’s help, moved to Washington in September 2012. There she remained in Wyatt House until her health began to fail in October 2014. Son Matthew Byer, his wife Terri, daughter Holly B. Renfrew, and granddaughter Emily Renfrew were with her at the end. Plans are incomplete, though services are planned tentatively for Wyatt House; Grace Episcopal Church, Margaret’s worship home in Washington; and First Presbyterian Church of South Charleston. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that friends make
memorial contributions to Grace Episcopal Church, Bainbridge Island; and First Presbyterian Church, South Charleston, West Virginia.
Leslie Marie Sherman Leslie Marie Sherman passed away Nov. 21, 2014 in San Francisco, Calif. She was born Feb. 1, 1950 in Spokane. Leslie was a spirited, generous, fiercely loyal and intensely bright individual, taken from us much too soon and most unexpectedly following complications from an infection. Devoted to family and friends, she was a well-traveled, multilingual, cat enthusiast who lived a colorful life full of passion and contrast. Known to many as Lizard, her creative intellect and inquisitive nature produced a radical ‘60s political activist
who went on to a 35-year working career at various government agencies. A California resident for more than 57 years, she graduated from Novato High with honors, 1968; and University of California, Santa Barbara, magna cum laude, 1972. She was a caregiver to her parents Robert and Mary Ann Sherman who preceded her in death, and a part-time resident of Bainbridge Island. She is survived by brother, Robert Sherman (Leslie Hein), San Jose, California; sister, Katherine Sherman, Sonoma, Calif.; and brother, Charles Sherman (Guylaine Lemieux), Aubrey, Texas. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations in Leslie’s name be made to www.arf. net. A Celebration of Life is planned for spring 2015.

Zen and bird watching Create the right setting to introduce nature to youth KItsaP BIrDInG By GENE BULLOCK
I
once asked a friend to explain his passion for riding his motorcycle. “If you don’t know,” he said, “I can’t explain it to you. If you know, I don’t have to explain it to you.” Devotees of pursuits ranging from stamp collecting to rock climbing can relate to his “zen-like” connection with those who share their passion. I once met a man with a world-class collection of automobile license plates.
Clockwise from left, The tiny ruby-crowned kinglet has a red crest that is seldom seen unless it’s excited; its spring vocalizations are lively and loud. The American goldfinch is a year-round visitor to Washington feeders, but loses its bright yellow plumage in winter. The brightly colored Townsend’s warbler is a prized visitor at Washington feeders. Don Willott
He was the envy of his kindred society of license collectors. I recall the first time
I went fishing. I sat with my line dangling in the water for what seemed like a tediously long time,

and wondered why people spent their time this way. But after I landed my first fish, I never wondered again. And during a pedantic force-feeding by an uninspiring teacher, I wondered what drew people to poetry and literature; but then I fell in love with words. A love for nature and wildlife may be in our DNA, but it sometimes needs a spark to light those neural pathways. Young birds have the innate ability to sing; but it’s triggered by hearing their parents sing. My labored point is if you’re introducing children to bird watching, it
pays to create the right setting. Pick a location and time of the year when birds are plentiful and easy to see. Spring birding at places like Nisqually Wildlife Refuge or Theler Wetlands in Belfair can be ideal. But a well-stocked backyard feeder is a wonderful place to bond with birds and crystallize a lifelong love affair with bird watching. Once hooked, they’ll patiently endure the numbing cold and rain that come with winter birding. Learning to identify birds from a book can be challenging. But groups like the Kitsap Audubon Society offer introductory trips for beginners that
can jump start that learning process. Starting in your own backyard makes it easy to start with a relative handful of familiar birds. Getting close up and personal with birds is made easier when you can watch them from the window. It’s like turning an aquarium inside out, with the observer seated comfortably inside while the fish feed just outside the glass. Young birds are born with the ability to sing and to fly. With nurturing parents and enthusiastic examples, it occurs naturally. With the proliferation of man-made threats, our birds need lots of friends who care.

R
eaders interested in getting a fix for science, humor and even some live music can get their fill at Poulsbo’s Liberty Bay Books in January. Author Patrick Loafman will read from his 2013 novel, “Somewhere Upriver,” at Liberty Bay Books on Jan. 4, at 2 p.m. Using his background
as a herpetologist — an amphibian specialist — Loafman crafts a humorous tale of a burgeoning scientist and an eccentric research assistant in “Somewhere Upriver.” The young scientist is thrown into a world of toxic salamanders and government conspiracies. The story takes place in Kitsap’s backyard, the Olympic National Park, where Loafman has spent considerable time as a herpetologist working for the park. He weaves his knowledge of the field and the Olympic landscape into the story, as well as a
few other fun facts, such as Haiti’s zombie mythology. Loafman also lives on the Dandelion Farm, near Joyce, on the north side of the Olympic Mountains. When he’s not studying amphibians or writing novels, he creates gourd art and gourd musical instruments such as drums, banjos and mandolins. At his Liberty Bay Books appearance, Loafman will play a kora, a 21-string harp/lute that originated in West Africa. Liberty Bay Books is located at 18881 D Front St., Poulsbo.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

aroundkitsap Articles from neighboring Kitsap communities. For more news, read these newspapers online. BAINBRIDGE ISLAND REVIEW Application filed for retail marijuana shop: A new application has been submitted to the Washington State Liquor Control Board for a retail marijuana shop on Day Road. Evergreen, a Seattle-based company that previously tried to get a license for a marijuana shop on NE Valley Road in Rolling Bay, is seeking permission for a similar store at 7880 NE Day Road. The state is already reviewing applications for a marijuana growing and processing business in the industrial park at 8040 NE Day Road. That project is being pursued by Way Kool, Inc. The company filed for an application for the operation on Dec. 1. Bainbridge City Manager Doug Schulze told the city council at its meeting Dec. 15 that the city had been notified about the pending retail application by the Liquor Control Board and may offer comments on the application. “We are reviewing that at this time and determining how that fits with the zoning code,” Schulze said. The application for a retail license was filed by Alex Snyder. In an email to the Review, he said it was premature to talk about the application. — BainbridgeReview.com
BREMERTON PATRIOT New school district discipline tactics reviewed: The Bremerton School District moved closer to adopting new disciplinary policies during a recent school board meeting. Included in the new policy is a language change that allows schools to shift from punishment to corrective action. “The goal is to correct one’s behavior as opposed to punishing someone for their behavior,” said Patty Glaser, communications coordinator. Under Policy 3241, longterm suspensions would be limited to the school year in which the conduct hap-
pened; emergency suspensions won’t exceed 10 days or will be converted into another form of corrective action; and parents will be able to request an appeal orally or in writing. — BremertonPatriot.com
CENTRAL KITSAP REPORTER Sheriff investigates two threats at Olympic High: Kitsap County Sheriff ’s deputies are investigating two separate potential threats made against Olympic High School Dec. 17. Deputy Scott Wilson of the Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Office said rumors on social media that the two incidents were from one student were unfounded and unlikely. The first incident was during a fifth-period math class. Someone left a note on one of the many school calculators that students share. “It was a threat to harm. Nothing specific, just threats that there was going to be an incident,” Wilson said. The message was not directed against anyone in particular. The second event was the same day during an emergency drill. Wilson said that during the drill a male student was overheard discussing with other students that the drill activities are probably what would happen during a real incident. The boy did not make any threats. “Just verbalizing,” Wilson said. Words to the effect of, “ ’Hey, if I were that guy …’ ” “This was overheard … it raised a bit of an alarm,” Wilson said. — CentralKitsapReporter. com
A private contractor went out on a city limb, Dec. 2. The contractor was cutting branches and limbs off of a maple tree owned by the City of Poulsbo, however, he did not have permission from the city. The action caused an uproar with citizens and city officials. Police were called to the scene, but were too late to halt the cutting of some of the tree’s largest branches. The contractor told police that he performs maintenance for the neighboring building and the tree’s branches hang over its roof, causing shade and therefore mold to grow. He said that he has pruned the tree in the past. The police report states that the tree was trimmed to an extent that it may die. The city has hired an arborist to gauge the damage and the value of the tree. The Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Office is considering charges against the contractor. Left: Contributed / Right: Richard D. Oxley chasing the 24,829-squarefoot property in downtown Poulsbo. Erickson said no price or site plans have been discussed yet. “We’re entering into a negotiation for a contingency sale,” said Mayor Becky Erickson. “What happens over the next three to four weeks is that I will work with Wes Larson and Michael Brown (of Sound West Group) to negotiate the sale agreement. The contingencies will be the timeline, price and terms.” As negotiations have only just begun, Erickson was uncertain as to what ultimately would become of the property should Sound West Group purchase it. “There have been men-
tions of apartments, but I don’t know if that is the case,” she said. “I would assume that is the direction they are going because they are doing the Spyglass Hill apartments in Bremerton.” The Spyglass Hill apartment complex is a $15 million, 80-unit apartment complex under development on Bremerton’s Highland Avenue, overlooking downtown. Sound West Group is a commercial brokerage company that leases and manages properties. It also acquires and develops properties, and builds apartment, office and retail buildings. The company also dabbles in single-family housing.
In November, the city lowered the property’s price to $950,000 to help attract buyers. It was a 9.5 percent price drop from the previous list price of $1,050,000. — NorthKitsapHerald.com
PORT ORCHARD INDEPENDENT Lease transferred for new Bremerton racetrack: Big-time motor sports may be on its way to Bremerton.

NORTH KITSAP HERALD Poulsbo negotiates sale of police station to Bremerton company: The Poulsbo City Council gave Mayor Becky Erickson permission on Dec. 17 to begin negotiations for the sale of the city’s old police station in downtown Poulsbo, overlooking Liberty Bay. Sound West Group of Bremerton has approached the city with interest of pur-

in November. The 45-year lease specifies a $5,000 rent for years one to five; $7,000 in the sixth and seventh years; and the reminder of the lease at a $40,000 annual payment or 5 percent of the company’s “defined gross revenue,” whichever is greater. The new company has plans to build a $30 million racetrack on about 250 acres along Highway 3, across from Bremerton National Airport, if it can find investors to back the project. The proposed 2.4-mile road course could accommodate a variety of motorcycle and auto races, he said. In addition to the main track, the facility would include a space for a motocross track, a kart track, a clubhouse, convention center and spectator seating. Circuit of the Northwest has hired the German engineering firm of Tilke to design the track. The area, which is narrow, hilly, and has more than 130 feet of elevation change, requires a unique layout, Nilsen said. He added that the close proximity to Seattle is a plus. It is described as a 40-footwide road course, with a 2,600-foot front straightway. The closest similar racetracks are in Utah and California. — PortOrchardIndependent.com

ainbridge islanders crossing High School Road have watched this quirky structure slowly come to form over the past couple of years. What has affectionately become known as the “Hobbit House” is now finished, and its owner has plans to put it to good use. “I’m getting things cleaned up and putting stuff in the kitchen, getting it ready to go,” said Chris Whited, who built the structure on the edge of his High School Road property. “A lot of people wonder what it is,” he said. “Some people think maybe it’s shop or a coffee shop or an office building, but no, it’s a little cottage.” The cottage is now a vacation rental for visitors to the island. Whited will soon list it on the market. The vacation rental is located just outside of downtown Winslow, on Bainbridge Island. The 800-square-foot cottage, with additional 470-square-foot garage, has garnered attention from local and international press for its sloped roofs, outward leaning walls and storybook appearance complete with a waterwheel. “When I was drawing up the plans I decided to put a waterwheel on it,” Whited said. “I just like waterwheels and when I was a kid I saw a waterwheel when I went out to the coast and I liked it.” “The neighbors called it a ‘Hobbit House’ and it stuck,” he said, noting that he reminds folks that Hobbits live in underground homes. But despite the reminder, “Hobbit House” is what
The Hobbit House has been constructed over the past few years on Bainbridge Island’s High School Road. It is now complete and owner Chris Whited plans to rent it out as a vacation rental for island visitors. It includes fairy tale-styled roofs and a working waterwheel. Luciano Marano

has stuck. “(There was) a newspaper article in London,” Whited said. “People were complaining (over there) that it’s not a ‘Hobbit house.’” The finished cottage wasn’t what Whited initially planned. He started out with aims to build nothing more than a chicken coop. “When I started building the chicken coop I had been down in Cannon Beach. Somebody had a garden shed behind their house and the ridge of their roof sloped down to the middle,” Whited said. “I took some pictures of that, and I liked that style. When I did the chicken coop I sloped the walls out and did the roof.” Whited wanted to build and sell the coop as a fun project, but the coop didn’t sell. “I had it for sale for a while and people said if it was bigger it would make a great playhouse, and so
Come Home To Poulsbo Place II In The New Year I built that,” Whited said. “I couldn’t sell those. So I thought it would be nice to make a full-size one.” From chicken coop to cottage, locals have kept an eye on the progress, and off-islanders have journeyed to check in as well. “People are coming up from California and Nevada and said it was in their local paper,” Whited said. “If they are in the area, they stop by and check it out.” “A couple years ago the Chamber of Commerce had a tour bus on the island. People were asking about the house,” Whited said. “And they changed the route. One morning I looked out from our house and there’s a tour bus with people checking out the (cottage). The cottage has attracted so much attention it now has its own Facebook page, www.facebook. com/HobbitHouseon BainbridgeIsland.
