Many festival attendees brought coolers and umbrellas to help beat the heat, which rose above 80 degrees during the eighth annual Bainbridge Island Bluegrass Festival last July.
A look back at the stories that shaped our lives in the past year It was another topsy-turvy year for Bainbridge Island. From triumphant and inspiring, to disheartening and sad, the headlines of 2014 truly ran the gamut. It was a year that saw great exuberance, with many islanders making the trip across the water to take part in the Seattle TURN TO YEAR | A5

Whatever cultural moment the local moviegoing public may have shared at the sold-out premier of the controversial comedy “The Interview” at Bainbridge Cinemas Thursday night, the time has apparently come and gone. Or maybe not. Attendance at the film’s second screening at 9 p.m. last Friday night boasted only 75 or so patrons, according to theater staff, much declined from the previous night’s 250 strong audience at the movie’s island debut. Still, a line did form as patrons queued to enter the theater. Many said they didn’t believe that seeing the film was a political statement of any kind. Island residents Elise Ran and Emma Stallworthy said that they would be very disappointed if, after all the media attention, the film was “not very funny.” Patrons asked unanimously agreed that “curiosity” was the main factor in their attending the film Friday night. The action-comedy film was at the center of a computer hacking attack against Sony Pictures Entertainment, and the company later announced the film would not be screened. The FBI said North Korea, which is central to the movie’s plot, was involved in the hacking. After considerable public outcry — including criticism by the media, President Barack Obama and many in the motion picture industry — independent cinemas announced they would show the film on Christmas following Sony’s decision to allow limited release of the R-rated movie. The movie will be shown once daily at Bainbridge Cinemas every night through Jan. 1. Each showing will be at 9 p.m. The film will then screen twice daily (at 3:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.) from Friday, Jan. 2 to Monday, Jan. 5. Theater officials said that screenings may expand to more often or continue for a longer tenure, based on demand.

Friday, January January 2, 2, 2015 - Bainbridge Island Review Friday,
Fundraising now underway for Fort Ward Community Hall project Youth Advisory Committee takes leadership role Fundraising is now underway for the Fort Ward Community Hall project that will restore the fort’s historic Bakery Building into a community center. More than $6,000 in pledges was raised in just the first week of the drive toward a first-round fundraising goal
of $30,000. The Fort Ward Community Hall would be the latest in a series of historic island buildings to be preserved for community use and park programs, joining Seabold Hall, Island Center Hall and Camp Yeomalt. The effort is led by the Fort Ward Youth Advisory Committee, made up of four Bainbridge Island juniors who live in the historic South End neighborhood:
Erik Appleberry, Aila Ikuse, Kate Merifield and Mark Dettman. The four high schoolers began the first-round fundraising drive in response to a challenge by the Bainbridge Parks Foundation. “We applied to the Bainbridge Parks Foundation to be our fiscal agent, since they are a 501(c)3 with a great track record of managing money,” said Ikuse, Fort Ward

Youth Advisory Committee President. “They challenged us to raise 10 percent of our $300,000 budget to prove we have commitment from the community for this project, so that’s what we’re doing.” Community response has been very positive, said Appleberry, who has been canvasing the Fort Ward neighborhood for donations. “We’re getting great support so far,” he said. “People really want to see the building restored for the community.” The historic Bakery Building on Evergreen Drive was constructed in 1910 as part of Fort Ward, an Army Coast Artillery Corps fortifi-

Most of the fort was surplussed by the federal government in 1960, and the Bakery Building has served as a private residence off and on since that time.

In Our Opinion
Get your motor running
B
ainbridge Island police have announced plans to start up a motorcycle unit in the department and begin motorcycle police patrols later this year. The expanded enforcement effort comes in response to continuing complaints from residents about traffic problems. Police Chief Matthew Hamner says having a motorcycle officer will give the department added flexibility and mobility and is one piece in the effort to improve safety for drivers, their passengers and pedestrians. We think it’s a great idea, and we join with others who believe that improving traffic safety is a vital component of maintaining the island’s quality of life. Sure, there may be some who complain about a more visible police presence on the island, or those who only support increased traffic enforcement when it’s some other guy getting a parking ticket, or being stopped for exceeding the speed limit on Miller Road, on the highway or in one of our school zones. But let’s be realistic. The island seems to have more than its fair share of inattentive drivers, drivers on cell phones, drivers who have yet to discover how to operate a turn signal, drivers who roll through crosswalks or stop signs, or approach the High School Road roundabout as if it’s a competitive contest against everyone else nearing the intersection. We’d like to think that all of the tailgaters, the speeders, the impaired drivers and the simply lousy drivers on our roads are just visitors to our island; passers-through who don’t actually live here. Not all are, unfortunately. And while Chief Hamner notes that traffic safety can’t be improved by enforcement alone, we think that more officers on patrol — motorcycle or otherwise — is a worthy effort that will make drivers more mindful of sharing the road with other drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians.

An ode to Mrs. Dunn Guest Excited to finally feel like one of the big kids, I stood at Frog Rock with my sister Rachel, and a host of Corbin kids whom I had only just met and waited for the bus. I hoped everything was going to be OK. I was prepared, wasn’t I? I had a new back pack, as well has a new red plastic three-ring binder with 100 sheets of college-ruled paper. I was obviously ready for college with this, so kindergarten should be a breeze. Stepping off the bus at Wilkes Elementary for the first time was exhilarating. Rachel made sure I got to my new classroom; it was the classroom furthest to the southwest, the easiest for a 5-year-old fresh off the bus to find. I am sure Mrs. Dunn had planned it that way. Upon entering my new room Mrs. Dunn had brilliantly began establishing routine and order for her array of confused, frightened, and excited 5- year-olds. “Put your things on the hooks and meet me over here and sit in a semicircle. Do you know what a semicircle is? It’s half a circle!” Class hadn’t even begun and my vocabulary and geometric expertise was already growing. From that point forward every morning we would meet in our semicircle around Mrs. Dunn where we would perform certain “rituals.” First, she would announce any birthdays. Second, she would let us know of any school announcements or give us papers to take home to our parents. Third, any student who was going home to someone else’s house for a play date needed a parental note (this was always a big deal). She would read the note and then meticulously fill out this aluminum-ringed paper tag with all the pertinent bus info and attach it to our person via a piece of cotton string. This way the bus
Column BY HOUSTON WADE
driver knew that we weren’t some random lost child, that we had a purpose and a destination at Travis Vandenover’s bus stop, or at Adam Green’s, or Natalie Bentley’s. We kindergartners loved to play pranks. When we learned that Mrs. Dunn didn’t like mice or rats we would draw pictures of them and every once in a while slip that picture in with all of the bus notes. She would feign a scream that all of us little kids would believe was real fear of our terrible 5-year-old crayon representation of rat. It made us feel clever and she never let on that our art was not even remotely believable. That was true love right there. Dedication to the craft and to the development of future adults. Each day during our morning rituals we would write a new number on the long piece of tape that wrapped all the way around the classroom. Mrs. Dunn explained that there are 180 days in a school year and that each day we would write the number of that day on the wall from one (on the first day of school) all the way to 180 (on the last day of school). It is amazing how exciting the simple jotting down of a number can be when you’re 5. That was my favorite moment of each day, when she would drag her chair to the wall, stand on it, and meticulously write the number high up on that piece of tape. It was during one of these moments when I figured out that I liked numbers and the order and logic they represented. It is probably the first real seed that was planted on my path to becoming the astrophysicist I am today. All of that, the course of my life, slowly unfold-
ed from the nine months it took us to count to 180. We learned how to be social with one another from Mrs. Dunn. We learned how to follow directions from her. We learned all the basics of being a member of the social contract while not even realizing we were learning the whole time. I am a freak of nature (most of you know this), but I remember everything. EVERYTHING. From Lara Hogg’s mom bringing in the first pieces of impressionist art as our art docent; to Kira Kellog’s show-and-tell where she brought in her show dog to do tricks for us; to making buttermilk as a class; or the excitement of getting to walk all the way from school to the forest to have a real teddy bear picnic with our actual teddy bears we brought from home. Kindergarten for me was as enchanting a time as I will ever have, and it was all thanks to one dedicated woman who loved each and every one of us. Years later, when I would see her, Mrs. Dunn would always greet me the same way with a, “How ya doin’, kiddo?” And a hug. As an adult she was my go to at city council meetings where we would sit next to each other and whisper snide comments in each other’s ears and crack jokes whenever the quorum was being particularly inane. I had wanted her to seek the open seat on the council and again teach the community how to behave and grow into adults. My kindergarten teacher was my life-long friend. I don’t know how many people really get to say that, but I am so proud that I can. I love you, Mrs. Dunn, and I’ll miss you forever. I am who I am because of you, and I will never forget it. Houston Wade is an alumnus of Mrs. Dunn’s 1986-’87 kindergarten class and is currently a professor of Math and Science at the Art Institute of Seattle.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW
YEAR CONTINUED FROM A1
Seahawks’ first-ever Super Bowl victory parade. There were big plans that never came to fruition, such as the joint police-fire department facility; an anti-development protest that took to the treetops; and a shocking resignation at city hall in the wake of a lawsuit against the city over public records. There was much sadness, too, as Bainbridge mourned the loss of islanders who’ve been an integral part of the fabric of the community. Here’s our look back at the stories that were news in 2014.
January Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced the filing of charges against the owner of the neglected 100-year-old “Chickamauga.” Anthony R. Smith, the owner of the tugboat that sank in Eagle Harbor in October 2013 and leaked approximately 200 to 300 gallons of diesel fuel into Puget Sound, faced criminal charges including one count of theft in the first degree, one charge of causing a vessel to become abandoned or derelict and one count of discharge of polluting matters into state waters. Russell Johnson, a Bainbridge Island resident known to millions worldwide as the Professor on the hit 1960s sitcom, “Gilligan’s Island,” passed away at home Jan. 16. He was 89. Two new Bainbridge Island artists joined the already impressive ranks of those who have been selected as Island Treasures. Janie Ekberg and John Willson are the 2014 recipients of the award, having been officially approved by the Bainbridge Island Arts & Humanities Council Board, following an anonymous nomination and juried selection process.
February Voters overwhelmingly approved two levies to pay for educational programs and operations and technology improvements for island schools during the February Special Election. According to the initial vote count on Election Night, voters approved the Bainbridge Island School District’s Educational
Programs and Operations Levy with a 75 percent “yes” vote. Approximately 24 percent of Bainbridge voters cast ballots against the measure. Bainbridge city staff decided to work with merchants in downtown Winslow to open sidewalks back up for pedestrians. A new look was needed. The increase in sidewalk retail over the past year prompted an overflow of complaints to the city’s planning and public works departments, Planning Director Kathy Cook told the Bainbridge city council.
March Fire department and city officials continued talks about a new facility that both entities could call home. At a special public meeting, consultants working on a joint facility for the departments emphasized the current condition of the city’s existing police department building and the fire department’s fire halls. Consultants said they were below standards and needed upgrading or replacement. Owen Marshall passed away at the age of 6 due to complications of cerebral palsy, but his life was memorialized with a new playground accessible to all children, with or without disabilities. Frank Kitamoto, an iconic figure in Bainbridge Island’s Japanese American community, died March 15. He was 74. Kitamoto was a longtime dentist on Bainbridge Island but was better known for his work to preserve and share the history of the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Bainbridge Island has been home to government housing for more than 60 years on John Adams Way, formerly known as Government Way. The two rows of houses were formally decommissioned to make way for a new era of community housing. The property is being transformed into the second phase of development for Grow Community, a neighborhood committed to sustainable urban development.
April Bainbridge Island’s hearing examiner rejected an appeal to a proposed shopping center on High School Road, and called
the project “a praiseworthy movement in the right direction.” Hearing Examiner Stafford Smith said the conditional use permit for the Visconsi shopping center should be granted, subject to conditions of approval. The development was vigorously opposed by some islanders who claimed the new businesses were not needed and would hurt existing merchants in downtown Winslow, and would also bring more noise and traffic to the High School Road area. The Bainbridge Island City Council passed on the idea of having a public vote to decide where marijuana-growing businesses should be located. Council members also said they needed more time to discuss potential regulations on legal pot shops before scheduling a public hearing. Bainbridge Island police released two sketches of suspects who may have been involved in a string of residential burglaries that has plagued the island. Police Chief Matthew Hamner said the illustrations were prepared by a police sketch artist after more burglaries were reported on the island in March and April, and witnesses to earlier burglaries provided detailed descriptions to police.

without criticism, however, as some residents claimed the revised designdid not fit with original plan to create a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood.
The city of Bainbridge Island violated the state’s Public Records Act by failing to turn over emails that city council members had sent and received on their personal email accounts, a Superior Court judge ruled. Kitsap County Superior Court Judge Jeanette Dalton said the hard drives of the computers of councilmen Steve Bonkowski and David Ward could be turned over so they could be searched for missing public records. The judge also said Althea Paulson and Bob Fortner, the pair who had sued the city over the missing public records, should be awarded attorney fees. It wasn’t much of a

In another twist to its evolving regulations for legal marijuana growers, the Bainbridge Island City Council proposed to limit marijuana growing operations to indoor facilities in the business/industrial area near Day Road. The work to build a new pool at Pleasant Beach got underway. By spring 2015, a community pool complete with a hot tub, kiddie pool, picnic tables with barbecue grills and shower facilities is expected to be open for its first visitors. Proponents for Bainbridge marijuana businesses found out they would have to wait until November for city officials to establish permanent, reliable regulations. Following a public hearing that invited a range of opinions, the Bainbridge Island City Council voted unanimously on temporary regulations for new marijuana enterprises on the island.

community outreach events to restoring the department’s depleted roster. Bainbridge Island residents strongly support a $17 million bond measure to pay for new and rebuilt fire halls for the Bainbridge Island Fire Department, according to a random survey of islanders conducted by the polling firm of CFM. The Bainbridge city council put its final stamp of approval on the city’s Shoreline Master Program update. It did not come easy. In a narrow 4-3 council vote after a public hearing, the council OK’d the Shoreline Master Program ordinance and sent it on its way to the state to become law. Opponents of the SMP gathered a few days later to discuss their next plan of attack: filing a lawsuit against the city. Led by Gary Tripp and Linda Young of the Bainbridge-based nonprofit property rights group Bainbridge Defense Fund, the discussion centered on what the potential consequences of the SMP could be for shoreline property owners.

Crowds line the sides of Winslow Way for the annual Fourth of July parade. And at the bottom of her unexpected overnight home, she was surrounded by her supporters and fellow opponents of a proposed shopping center that many said was unfathomable and unneeded. A day later, however, the forest was gone — cleared by loggers hired by the developer — and the protesters who had supported D’Angelo’s treetop last stand retreated to their usual protest spot at the corner of Highway 305 and High School Road.
August The ferry MV Tacoma lost power during a sailing from Seattle to Bainbridge Island and left hundreds of passengers stranded across Puget Sound. Capt. George Capacci, Interim Assistant Secretary of Transportation, said in a telephone press conference that the unfortunate turn of events that completely shut down the system’s busiest route was one that had never been seen before. The loss of the 202-car-capacity Tacoma came as the ferry MV Wenatchee, a Jumbo Mark II-class boat that serves the Bainbridge route, was in dry dock in Canada for repairs. The Tacoma lost propulsion power just before 1 p.m. July 30 as it neared Bainbridge Island on the 12:20 p.m. sailing from Seattle. The vessel stopped just outside Eagle Harbor and set anchor to avoid becoming beached; it was just the second time in 40 years that a state ferry was forced to drop anchor. The ferry MV Sealth from

Fingerprints, DNA from a blood sample, witness reports and recovered stolen jewelry led Bainbridge Island police to a suspect in the prolific string of burglaries on the island. Bainbridge police announced that an arrest warrant has been issued for Jason Michael Lucas, 34.
Chiara D’Angelo made a temporary home for herself in the canopy of a fir tree on the Visconsi shopping center site to protest the development of the acreage at the corner of High School Road and Highway 305. Surrounded by the scraggy branches of a second-growth stand of Douglas fir trees, 70 feet above the forest floor, the Bainbridge college student attracted a frenzy of media coverage that included television news crews from Seattle.

Bob McAllister, a Bainbridge Island teacher, poet, performer, carpenter and Island Treasure, passed away at his home on Bainbridge on Aug. 18. He was 73. The man who Bainbridge Island police say was responsible for the biggest string of burglaries in the island’s recent history was captured by a fugitive task force with help from Virginia State Police and the Floyd County Sheriff’s Office. Jason Michael Lucas was arrested Monday by the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, a group under the direction of the U.S. Marshal Service, that apprehends the most violent and dangerous fugitives in
the Washington, D.C. area, Maryland and Virginia.
September A 34-year-old Bainbridge Island man was called a hero after he grabbed his 3-year-old daughter as she went over a cliff and the man shielded her fall with his body as they hit a retaining wall on the beach more than 60 feet below. Bainbridge police and firefighters — and emergency responders from Poulsbo, Central Kitsap and Navy Region Northwest — converged at the scene near the western end of Hidden Cove Road just after the accident. Authorities said Jonathan Borovsky saw his daughter was about to go over the side of the bluff, but grabbed her and went over the side with her. Borovsky took the force of the impact and used his own body to break the young girl’s fall. Staff and students at Bainbridge High School were saddened by the tragic death of Mike Anderson in a drowning accident in Tiger Lake.

By springtime, marina tenants will have access to a new and improved dock. The nearly $6 million renovation began in early September and the work includes replacing the marina’s five docks, creosote pilings and entrance ramp. After authorizing another $30,000 on a site assessment, the Bainbridge Island City Council decided to postpone a decision on whether the city should join with the Bainbridge Island Fire Department to build a joint station.
October Bainbridge parks officials decided they couldn’t justify cutting what has become an island staple for
The
Bainbridge youth from next year’s budget and backed away from plans to cut the budget for the teen youth center, located behind Bainbridge High School. The Bainbridge city council decided not to join the police and fire departments under one roof. City officials had been talking with the Bainbridge Island Fire Department for more than a year about the possibility of a joint facility that would house both a new headquarters station for the fire department and a new police station to replace the city department’s outdated digs on Winslow Way. Mayor Anne Blair said the idea was just too complex. A confrontation between a 72-year-old woman and Bainbridge Island police ended with an officer trying to use a stun gun on the woman. The Bainbridge Island Police Department said Police Officer Mo Stich was assaulted during the Saturday, Oct. 4 incident. Karen Summers Hellmuth was arrested after she allegedly entered a neigh-

It was a rare resignation: City officials could not recall another resignation on the city council in the past 20 years. Bainbridge fire officials took a first step toward staffing Station 23 around the clock by unanimously voting to give Fire Chief Hank Teran the go-ahead to immediately hire three new firefighters.

BY BRIAN KELLY
Bainbridge Island Review
A former Bainbridge Island man was charged with first-degree child molestation in Kitsap County District Court on Dec. 22 after authorities alleged he sexually abused an 11-year-old female relative during periodic visits to Bainbridge. Joseph David Preston, 45, was arrested earlier this month for allegedly molesting the girl multiple times earlier this year. The victim told a friend at school, a teacher and her mother about the incidents, and she was also interviewed by a child interview specialist where she recounted details from three of the incidents. The abuse allegedly happened during visits to the man’s office and her aunt’s house between February and
June. The girl said she had wanted to tell her mother earlier about the incidents and didn’t know how, according to court documents, but decided to talk because she didn’t want to go to the relative’s house on an upcoming visit. Court documents indicate Preston now lives in Nordland, Washington. In an interview with Bainbridge police, Preston denied having sexual contact with the girl, but also said they sometimes wrestled and had watched a movie together without pants on. Preston was arrested Dec. 19 and was released after a court appearance Dec. 22. Conviction of first-degree child molestation can result in a maximum sentence of life imprisonment and a $50,000 fine.
Memorial service announced for Kathy Dunn BY REVIEW STAFF
A public memorial service has been announced for Kathy Dunn, the retired kindergarten teacher and fourth-generation Bainbridge Islander who died Dec. 22 at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after being hit by a car earlier this month. Family and friends are invited to attend the memorial service at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 3 in the commons at Bainbridge High School. A light reception will follow. The family is requesting no flowers, as a scholarship fund has been set up in Dunn’s name. Donations can be made to:
The Kathy Dunn Memorial Scholarship Fund Bainbridge Island Education Foundation BHS c/o Dave Layton, President 9330 NE High School Road Bainbridge Island, WA 98110 Dunn, the daughter of Ick and Katy Warner, grew up on Bainbridge and graduated in the class of 1961 at Bainbridge High. She earned a teaching degree from Seattle University and taught kindergarten at Ford Ord, an Army post on Monterey Bay in California, before meeting her husband, Dave Dunn, and moving back to
Bainbridge Island. Dunn, 71, taught kindergarten at Commodore and then at Captain Charles Wilkes Elementary for three decades before her first retirement in 2002. She then became a first-grade aide at The Island School for seven years. Most recently, she has been a member of the city’s Civil Service Commission. Dunn was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after she was hit by a 2002 Lexus LS4 that was driven by a 91-year-old Bainbridge Island man who was backing out of a carport at a condominium complex near the Bainbridge ferry terminal.
Bainbridge blotter Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter: Monday, Dec. 15 10:30 a.m. A 51-year-old Bainbridge woman said she searched three credit reports and found a Home Depot credit card for $500 on them that had been taken out using her name and Social Security number. The woman said she did not open a credit card account in her name, but was told by the credit report company to file a police report. 1:50 p.m. A 76-year-old Bainbridge man on New Sweden Avenue called police after finding a strange note in his vehicle. He told officers that his vehicle had been prowled a year earlier, and recalled how he found his glove box open and items strewn about the vehicle. Nothing was found missing, but he found a suspicious note on white paper that said, “Hi Joe.” He thought kids were fooling around but did
not report the incident. On Dec. 14, he told police that he was looking through his vehicles for a pair of gloves when he found them behind a passenger seat. They were wrapped with white paper and bound with duct tape. When he took the tape off the gloves, he found a note on white paper that was stuffed into one of the gloves. The note had been typewritten and said, “I wore your gloves,” and he found another note that contained a vulgar message along with the word, “Life.” He also found a piece of paper with handwriting in red that said, “I found myself wanting more, such the habitual.” A note with a handwritten message in red ink was found in the glove box that said, “Quick books on you tube is my enemy.” The man said he had no idea who or why someone would leave notes in his vehicle. He told police he had adjusted his motion detector so he could be alerted if someone approached his truck when it was parked.

or even 10 weeks until someone has overcome enough risks of relapse to discontinue their nicotine medication.” Risks such as stress or smoking triggers, Blatt said. In the end, it’s about learning each little aspect of daily life that smoking has become a part of, and planning around it. For Morello, quitting techniques, stress and habits has come down to forming the right mentality. “I set myself up to succeed as much as I possibly could,” she said. “I got a few packs of my favorite gum, I rented a few books, I downloaded new music playlists, I got rid of all my cigarette associated things and started walking my dogs more.

TIPS FROM THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION The American Lung Association provided five tips for smokers trying to quit for the new year. See this advice, and more, online at www.lung.org. 1. Start early. The earlier a smoker quits, the sooner they can reap the benefits such as a healthier body and more money saved from cigarette purchases. 2. Many smokers have tried and failed to quit before. It is important not to become discouraged by past attempts and to learn from them. 3. Don’t quit alone. Tell friends and family and use their support. 3. Medication can help, such as gum and patches, but it is important to use them correctly. 5. Always bear in mind that every smoker can quit. It is just a matter of finding the right combination of techniques to do so.
t’s a new year, and with it comes a new round of resolutions made to improve life, health, spirit and more. The American Lung Association has a wealth of assistance and information online. From blogs to news It also has a smoking cessation phone line to help answer quitting questions at articles, snuffing out a 1-800-LUNGUSA smoking habit is among the most common resolutions listed each year.

By SUZANNE O’CLAIR

i-ho, hi-ho, it ’s off to work we go. A re you racing to get back to it? Or pulling the covers over your head? Either or both are possibilities given that the full moon arrives on a Sunday evening — 8:34 p.m. on Jan. 4 — as the festivities end and the world calls us to attendance. This moon embodies the restlessness of a teenager stuck between too many emotions (moon in Cancer) and too many duties (sun in Capricorn). Acting out is a no-go and playing hookey wins no rewards either. Winter is a season that demands Capricornian maturity to survive. As we cross
into the new year, the two-faced god Janus, who looks backwards and forward, demands we make hard adjustments. This moon cycle is about focused actions and security. How will we act so we are secure both emotionally and physically, and also on a personal and cultural level? Changes are needed, and we are at a crossroad where a new path must be chosen. Or another route, where wisdom blends with innovation? In the midst of this moon’s restlessness, can you settle down and ponder adult questions of real accomplishments and emotional satisfaction? W hat is your strategy for the new year? Winter’s long nights are designed for listening to the still, small voice of spirit directing our steps. If only we listen...
Horoscopes
For the Jan. 4 full moon to the Jan. 20 full moon.
Capricorn, what are you working so hard and ambitiously for? You begin reviewing your idealism and what exact dream you are pursuing. No rush, though, because this is a two-plus-year cycle. Clarity brings more precise planning behind the scenes, and those details form success later. Aquarius, energy gathers in your sector of self-hood so get out there and preen. What new groups will you delight in this year? A wide circle of far-seeing friends fan your winds of change. Be sure you are changing in the direction you want to go. Steady on! Cancer, balancing between others and yourself can drain, or inspire you to show your sensitivity. Close friends and family can give you courage to be seen by all of us! Rise to the occasion and vitality returns. You begin a prolonged meditation on which chores promote security and which can be tossed. Pisces, your new journey combines pragmatism and nebulousness

— all in you! Imagination works for you as well as nose-grinding does for others. When you combine the two, castles in the air take amazing form and work ceases to be a drudge. Meditation on one hand, and an action plan in the other, set you right. Scorpio, the winter season has you dreaming about the faces of abundance. Where do you feel fenced in? Skills, space, finances, physical impairments? Whatever it is, step-by-step actions can make progress in expanding your domain. You are enjoying your place in the world. Where do you want to go from here? Gemini, this month your study is the connection and resources of intimacy with others, not being dependent or independent, but inter-dependent. Trusting the right partner depends on playing your hunches. What do you feel in your gut? What vision do you two tread? You can not isolate yourself in endless networking. Deeper is better. Libra, your chart lies deep in the home and personal issues area.
You bounce as high into the world as your base is solid. Odd liaisons add spark and fun even as you remain cool and detached this winter season. Enjoy. The spring equinoxes lean heavily on the on-going lessons of relationships. Taurus, your fortune lies out in the world and prospers as if it has a life of its own. But, even growth needs management whether in a garden or a business. Get what you can in writing and then get busy. You know you love this prospering, busy-ness stuff! Virgo, your nervous system is high-strung and being played like a harp. Give yourself some TLC on the food and exercise front ... not too much or too little of either. Just ahead for you is a rebuilding of the family nest, positioning it as an optimal base for future expansion of mind and travel. Leo, plodding Saturn and exuberant Jupiter are in a lovely dance but undecided about whether a high-kicking can-can, or an earthy clog is needed. Optimism and pessimism are two sides of one coin and your job is to balance

the coin on its edge, or as the Buddhist say, seek the Middle Path. Aries, seeking a grounded experience of a broader way is your challenge. Make it expansive enough to be inclusive of each one’s individualism and one that puts each one to work building a whole for us all. Sounds like the hard work of democracy and brotherhood born anew. Small order ... but you have energy to forge this path. Sagittarius, your tendencies toward spontaneity, expansion and optimism are being honed and the next few years may feel like education by hard-knocks. These experiences teach you what you need to turn yourself into a teacher and visionary. Check out the TED talks on YouTube, that could be you!

to improve their lot in life.” “From rocket ships to funerals, you’re invited to be part of their adventures in a new and strange world,” she said.
Through Fisher’s vision, a group of rats engage in adventures from knitting to gardening, and decorating for Christmas; often running into their feathered friends. The rats even find themselves on a trip to the moon. Fisher chose rats as the main characters because, despite some rodent fans, rats are largely unfavorable with the public, she said. “My characters are rats instead of people with a

few guest appearances by owls and other furry critters,” she said. “Rats are somewhat unlovable animals which is why all of them are shown desperately trying (and often failing) to better themselves.” In the end, the adventures are of characters doing their best to be better, to achieve despite facing challenges. And in the mix is Fisher’s humorous take on the awkward moments people can find themselves in. “I think one of the greatest things about life is how surreal and awkward it can be,” Fisher said. “All my illustrations capture a key moment of action within a larger adventure. They show that instant of panic, exhilaration, and awkwardness that is all too familiar. “
Great Northwest Wine reviews delicious white wines from the 15th Platinum Judging NW WINES By ANDY PERDUE and ERIC DEGERMAN
W
e recently reviewed some of the top red wines from the 15th annual Platinum Judging, conducted by Wine Press Northwest magazine. This week, we take a look at some of the top white and dessert wines. The Platinum Judging celebrates the best of the best in the Pacific Northwest. Only wines that win gold medals at any of about 40 competitions around the world are eligible for the Platinum Judging. This year’s competition drew more than 600 wines from Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and Idaho. For complete results, go to www.winepressnw.com. Kiona Vineyards & Winery 2012 Chenin Blanc Ice Wine, Red Mountain, $25: The Williams family pioneered grape growing and winemaking on Red Mountain and has been making this luscious dessert wine for years. While this ice wine isn’t quite as rich and voluptuous as those we see from British Columbia, it does retain beautifully natural acidity and bright varietal flavors. This offers hints of honey, pear, orange blossom, peach and toasted pine nuts. (8.2 percent alc.) Jones of Washington 2013 Pinot Gris, Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley, $13: Young Victor Palencia has a real touch with the grapes from the relatively cool Ancient Lakes region of Washington, and this Pinot Gris is simply stunning. It opens with gorgeous aromas of pear, lime and cotton candy, followed by flavors of tropical fruit, honeydew melon and citrus. (13.8 percent alc.) Pacific Rim Winemakers 2013 Twin Vineyards Gewürztraminer, Yakima Valley, $14: Sadly, we don’t see as many Gewürztraminers from Washington as we used to. But happily, we still can find examples such as this from Pacific Rim near Red Mountain. This is a classic Gewürz,

said. Morello has also found strength in Facebook groups for quitters. Morello will enter 2015 with nearly two months behind her, smoke free. “I felt like I had been sitting, watching my life go by and then I’ve been released to finally go live it,” Morello said. “I felt like I was walking around with a dirty, smelly blanket wrapped around me, making me unhealthy and sucking my energy,

dragging me down, taking all the fun out of playing. Then when I decided to quit, it was a feeling of slowly becoming cleaner, and better, bit by bit, day by day. Then I no longer was wrapped in something dirty, I was fresh and clean.” “I could breath deep, and run after my daughter,” she said. “We could play and have fun. I had more time to care for my home and play with my family.”

Upland Estates Winery 2010 Ampeli Ice Muscat of Alexandria, Snipes Mountain, $36: Winemaker Robert Smasne used grapes from vines planted in 1917 to craft this stunning dessert wine. Aromas and flavors of honeysuckle, jasmine, orange and tropical fruit intermingle behind bright acidity. (10.7 percent alc.) San Juan Vineyards 2013 Estate Siegerrebe, Puget Sound, $20: This stunning wine by Chris Primus in Friday Harbor, Wash., earned a remarkable five unanimous double gold medals from five sets of judges this year. Aromas of Asian pear, lychee and clove lead to flavors of pear, apple and pineapple. (12 percent alc.) Alexandria Nicole Cellars 2013 Destiny Ridge Vineyard Shepherds Mark, Horse Heaven Hills, $24: Owner/winemaker Jarrod Boyle has been crafting this Rhône-style white for years. It leads with Roussanne and includes Marsanne and Viognier. The creamy mouth feel is loaded with notes of Asian pear, apple and mango. (13.4 percent alc.) Northwest Cellars 2013 Sonatina, Columbia Valley, $19: This blend of Roussanne and Viognier is wildly aromatic on the nose and rich on the palate, with notes of pear, white peach, pine-
apple and papaya. (13.5 percent alc.) Rio Vista Wines 2013 Antoine Creek Vineyards Viognier, Columbia Valley, $27: Rio Vista is along the Columbia River north of Lake Chelan on Highway 97, and owner/winemaker John Little is crafting gorgeous wines. This offers aromas and flavors of pear, orange and clove, all backed with impressive acidity and a lengthy finish. (12.7 percent alc.) Swiftwater Cellars 2013 No. 9 Riesling, Columbia Valley, $18: California transplant Linda Trotta recently left this showpiece winery near the Cascade Mountains town of Cle Elum, but not before crafting this delicious Riesling from Olsen Brothers near Prosser. It is a pleasurable wine with aromas and flavors of tropical fruit, bright apple and persistent minerality. (12.5 percent alc.) Smasne Cellars 2013 Otis Vineyard Pinot Gris, Yakima Valley, $12: Winemaker Robert Smasne grew up next to these grapes and now gets to work with them professionally.

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.

LOCAL BREWS, NEWS AND MORE
12/23/14 11:01 AM
itsap’s Silver Cit y Brewer y is greeting the post-w inter ale sea son w ith a new spring brew apt to give enthusiasts a chill. “It’s super, super drinkable,” said Kurt Larson with Silver City Brewery. “I burst when I talk about this beer, because it’s one of my favorites,” he said. The Cold One is the newest brew from Kitsap’s Silver City Brewery. The beer has been available in 22 ounce bottles and on tap at the brewery for the past month, but it begins stocking local store’s shelves this January. Silver City began canning the beer on Dec. 30. The Cold One is notable for a few reasons. Silver City’s last new brew was last spring’s West Sound IPA. The Cold One replaces that. The Cold One is the latest creation from the Kitsap brewery, instead of re-releasing known recipes. It’s a pilsner-style beer; a style commonly found throughout America, but as Larson points out, this is something quite unique.
“The Cold One is more of an international style pilsner,” he said. “It uses Czech ingredients, and it’s a German presentation, and because we have more aggressive hops in it, that has a Northwest appeal.” Larson said a lot of people think of domestic beers such as Coors and Budweiser when mentioning pilsners, yet, in Larson’s opinion, customers want something different. The Cold One answers that desire, he said. “This is one of the best pilsners you will find,” he said. “If I have a beer that I am going to choose to drink, and I have a line up, I’m going to drink this all day long. It’s easy to drink.” The Cold One is also notable because of its process. Larson said that “time is money” in craft brewing. “If you have beer sitting in tanks because it takes weeks to refine, you aren’t
making as much beer and money,” he said. But the Cold One needs time. It has to sit and refine to come out just right; a six to eight week process depending on the batch. “From the respect of the beer process, it’s one of the most difficult styles for any brewery to make,” Larson said. “You can’t hide any mistake in it. In regard to a hoppy IPA or an ale, you can have a lot of flavor, so if something is not quite right it can be covered up by other flavors.” “With pilsner, it has to be perfect from ingredients to the process,” he said. “If not, you get some flaws in the beer that shows up and changes the experience.” The ingredients are important Larson said. “We use pilsner malt all the way through, it’s very pristine and crisp,” he said. “We use Czech-style hops which give it a nice floral, like daisies and daffodils, not that northwest style hops.” “And it’s a pilsner lager yeast that marries that wonderful balance of malt and hops,” he said. “It give us a very pristine bright beer.” Finally, the Cold One is also notable because it is the first beer that the brewery is releasing that features its new logo. The new logo consists of an “S” and “C” combination set against a silver background.
“It’s time for a new look,” Larson said. “It’s an initiative, refreshing look.”
