Fabulous fashion show rekindles romance BY SERAINE PAGE

“It’s fun to see the couples together seriously in love.”

Bainbridge Island Review

If there’s one thing romantics can’t get enough of, it’s authentic love stories. Just one day before Valentine’s Day, tender stories of romance were shared during a fashion show at the Bainbridge Island Senior Center appropriately titled “Love is in the Air.” Longtime Bainbridge couples were paired off as fashion models, and with each new set of models walking the runway came narrated stories that made even young hearts beat faster. Models of all ages twirled around in clothing straight from the thrift shop’s racks at the senior center and the Bargain Boutique. Like the tickle of a warm summer wind, the fine details of desire and romance whirled in the air, intertwining with the collective sighs of a captive audience. “Love is in the Air” took in its audience the way Rhett Butler whisked Scarlett O’Hara into his manly arms. Many were swept away; some eyes in the sell-out

Fashion show participants clown around before heading down the runway during the senior center’s annual fashion show. crowd went misty. “I like the way it is done,” said Marcia Walker, an audience member. “It’s fun to see the couples together seriously in love.” An appreciative crowd came out for the fundraiser. And for the first time ever, the annual senior center fashion show sold out before the event. Dorie Nelson celebrated her first time participating in a fash-

ion show on the same day as her 87th birthday. “It’s exciting,” said Nelson, who is a regular at the thrift shop. “I thought this was a great way to celebrate my birthday. “It’s nice they’re all ages,” the birthday girl said of her fellow models. “And it’s nice to know seniors can have fun.” Audience members enjoyed cheesecake and coffee while

socializing as the fashion show participants got ready for their debut. As models sashayed down the center of the room, emcee Mark Ancell shared the details of embarrassing first dates, weddings on graduation days and blind dates at businesses that no longer exist. Ancell, manager of Bargain Boutique, shared what the ladies wrote about how they fell in love. The second half was dedicated to the men’s side of the story. Some couples showed off dance moves. Others paused for a sweet kiss or a lingering hug — much to the audience’s delight. One gentleman got a bit cheeky when he grabbed his wife’s bottom during their turn on the catwalk. The shocking move came after the story of TURN TO ROMANCE | A9

If you are sick, stay home. That’s the advice and plea of the Kitsap County Health District and Bainbridge Island School District in hopes of keeping the current pertussis (whooping cough) outbreak from spreading. Health district officials said the majority of pertussis cases in the county have been on Bainbridge Island, with the rest in North Kitsap. Officials said the number of cases are expected to grow. As of Wednesday, 104 cases of whooping cough had been reported to the health district. That includes data reported since June 2014. A letter has been sent home with Bainbridge students about the spread of pertussis, and noted that “the majority of pertussis cases to date have been reported in school-aged children, mostly in the Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap school districts.” Galen Crawford Goff, spokeswoman for the Bainbridge Island School District, said the school district and health district are working closely together to get the word out. While a cough is a symptom of pertussis, it doesn’t always mean a child has it, Goff noted. “Children can experience a cough for a number of reasons. We have students with coughs that have tested negative for pertussis,” she said. “School nurses are sending children suspected of having pertussis home with a letter from the KPHD to give to their health care provider,” Goff added. “The letter will help the KPHD monitor the outcome of each provider visit. If the provider prescribes antibiotics, parents are to keep the student at home for the full course of treatment (five full days of treatment).” According to current Washington State Department of Health standards, students must have the Tdap immunization, starting in kindergarten. Whooping cough is spread very easily through coughing and sneezing. Infected persons will notice cold-like symptoms that develops into a bad cough. Some violent coughing spells may TURN TO WHOOPING | A9

Rev. Tommy J. Dillon II to lead Grace Episcopal Church Grace Episcopal Church has announced that its search to find a new Rector to replace the retiring Rev. William R. Harper is over. The Rev. Tommy J. Dillon II, currently Rector of St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church in San Francisco, California, will become the new Rector of Grace Episcopal Church. Rev. Dillon will take over as Rector on July 15, Grace Church announced Sunday. Rev. Harper, Grace’s outgoing pastor, will retire on Sunday, April 26 after 30 years as an ordained minister of the Episcopal Church and 20 years as Rector of Grace. Church officials said the Vestry voted unanimously to call Rev. Dillon after receiving the same endorsement from the church’s Call Committee. Sunday’s announcement caps a long search

Rev. Tommy J. Dillon II

for a replacement for Rev. Harper, who announced plans to retire last year. The Grace search process was conducted with guidance from the Diocese of Olympia while Rev. Harper was completing his time at Grace. During the initial step, a Profile Committee comprised of Grace members gathered information from the parish about the skills and gifts that Grace was seeking in its new Rector. The Profile was distributed nationally through the Episcopal Church. The Call Committee was formed to review applications from

interested candidates and to discern who was to be called as the next Rector. Rev. Dillon, 45, stood out from a list of strong candidates, church officials said, and has the experience and gifts to be Grace’s next Rector. Grace Church said Rev. Dillon has earned a reputation for creative, inclusive and inspirational ministry, which is grounded in a powerful faith. The members of the Call Committee were impressed with Rev. Dillon’s preaching, and also with unique and effective ways that his church has reached beyond its walls to serve those in the community. He will be leaving his current post in San Francisco, where he has served as Rector for the last nine years, and will move to Bainbridge Island with his dog, Joshua, in spring or summer.

BY BRIAN KELLY

Prior to becoming Rector at St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church in San Francisco, Rev. Dillon was a part-time pastor for five years in his home state of Louisiana at St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church, outside Baton Rouge. He graduated from Louisiana State University in 1992 and received his Master of Divinity degree from the Divinity School at Yale University in 1995. He earned his Master of Sacred Theology from the General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church in 1996. He was ordained in 2003. Grace Episcopal Church was established on Bainbridge in 1992, and the church noted that under the leadership of Rev. Harper, Grace has become a lively, inclusive congregation of more than 400 families.

Former Four Swallows chef will be executive chef at Wing Point Foodie fans of the much missed Four Swallows restaurant take heart: Wing Point Golf & Country Club announced Friday that Geraldine Ferraro, the noted Bainbridge Island owner and chef of Four Swallows, has been named as the club’s new executive chef. Ferraro will take over duties at Wing Point on March 1. Club president Jim Taylor said it was a strategic decision to recruit someone of Ferraro’s acclaimed reputation and experience in order to elevate the club’s dining program to the highest possible level. The move was made in tandem with the club’s

investment in a $1.5 million clubhouse renovation project, which includes a new 60-seat lounge and updated dining areas. Members of Bainbridge’s only member-owned 18-hole golfand-country club were notified earlier of Ferraro’s hiring. “We couldn’t be more pleased with Gerry’s decision to join our team at Wing Point and we are already hearing from

a number of Island residents who are interested in joining the club so they can continue enjoying her fabulous cuisine,” Taylor said. “It’s definitely a winwin development for our membership and we are thrilled to know that our dining program at the club will be recognized with the same highest regard as our golf, swim and tennis facilities,” he said. “It’s all about fun, family and friends at Wing Point — and now featuring the best private club dining program in the Northwest,” he added.

Under Ferraro’s vision and direction, the Four Swallows consistently produced one the finest dining experiences in the Pacific Northwest. Four Swallows closed in October. The club said Ferraro is looking forward to her new role as Wing Point’s executive chef, and is planning some exciting new menu concepts for members and guests. The country club is currently in the permitting process for a 1,188-square foot expansion to the west side of the existing clubhouse, which includes expanding the lounge and the pro shop.

Madison Tot Lot may be moved to make way for a new development of 32 cottages near the corner of Madison Avenue and Wyatt Way NE. The project, called Wyatt Cottages, will be detailed by its developers during a community meeting next week. The meeting i Monday, Feb. 23 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in council chambers at city hall. The project is planned for three parcels of land that total 2.13 acres. The lots are just north of Wyatt Way NE, and the three properties form a “U” shape that surrounds the existing apartment building that fronts Madison just north of the undeveloped lot at the northeast corner of Madison and Wyatt. Small homes are a big feature of Wyatt Cottages. Two dozen of the homes in the development will be smaller than 1,000 square feet. A total of 14 one-bedroom homes will be built, plus 10 two-bedroom homes. The project also includes five two-bedroom cottages, each two stories in height. Two other one-bedroom homes, and another two-bedroom home — all slightly larger than 1,000 square feet — are also

planned. Building heights vary from 16 feet to 28 feet. The developers will also work to retain the forested feel of the property. According to preliminary plans on file with the city of Bainbridge Island, approximately 47.8 percent of the property will be left as open space. Existing trees on the northeast corner of the project will be preserved, and new native trees, shrubs and other plantings will be installed in the development’s semi-public spaces. The site currently has 96 tree units, which will rise to 127 after the project is built and more trees are planted on the property. Two of the three lots are separately owned by Madison Avenue Development and Carol King Aexel and John Aexel. The third parcel, where Madison Tot Lot is located, is owned by the Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District. If the property is developed as planned, the current tot lot will be moved to the corner lot on Madison and Wyatt, an undeveloped parcel most known for its preponderance of campaign signs during election time. The plans also call for a new sidewalk on Wyatt Way.

City to pull plug on Blink station Blink and you may miss it? The city of Bainbridge Island doesn’t think so. With its electric vehicle

charging station on Winslow Way still kaput — and a new contract proposal for the Blink charging station that hasn’t exactly created sparks of excitement at city hall — Bainbridge officials have decided to look elsewhere for a new

charger and a company to keep the juice flowing. The electric vehicle charging station in downtown Winslow was installed during the Winslow Way reconstruction project in 2011, and was paid for by a federal grant. The Blink power station is now owned by the city, but officials said it has

had ongoing reliability issues. The station, located near Blackbird Bakery, is inoperable and has been covered with a bag for many weeks now. City officials had considered a new agreement with Blink, owned by Car Charging Group, Inc. of Miami Beach, Florida, to have the unit repaired and put back into service. The terms of the agreement, however, proved problematic. The company had said it would take ownership of the station, but it also wanted an exclusive fouryear agreement for the Winslow unit and any other charging stations set up by the city. Blink also proposed keeping 60 percent of the net profits after operating costs. City officials evalu-

ated the proposal but noted “another service provider would be more responsible and reliable.” Officials are now asking the city council to buy a new charging station from Charge Northwest, a Gig Harbor firm with a customer list that includes the cities of Seattle, Tacoma, Mercer Island, Edmonds and others, as well as Kitsap County, Microsoft, the Boeing Company and Nintendo. Public Works Director Barry Loveless asked the council this week to approve the purchase of a Chargepoint electric vehicle. The dual-output station would cost $5,795, according to Charge Northwest. Total costs of $8,224 would include a threeyear, discounted network subscription plan, the removal of the Blink charging station and $1,000 for an electrical contractor to install the new Chargepoint station. Chargepoint would keep 10 percent of the fees collected at the Winslow Way station, and the city would retain control over setting the fees that are charged. City officials noted that the Central Market in Poulsbo currently has a Chargepoint station, and that Town & Country Market is also planning on installing a Chargepoint unit as part of the grocery store’s remodeling project. Council members agreed with the stitch, as well as keeping the current charging station limited to one parking stall on Winslow Way. Final approval of the change in charging stations is expected at the Feb. 24 council meeting. BCF

Bainbridge blotter Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter. Saturday, Feb. 14 9:06 a.m. A 66-year-old Bainbridge man took his dog for a walk just before 9 a.m. on Agate Pass Road and found his mailbox, and mailboxes from his neighbors, open. Junk mail was scattered on the ground nearby. The man told police he had been targeted for mail theft before, and noted he had not picked up his mail Friday. Friday, Feb. 13 8:31 p.m. Officers responded to a report of domestic violence on the north end. Police found the woman who had called 911 was extremely intoxicated, and no violence had taken place. Police were called back to the home two more times, with the final call coming from the husband. He said his wife had been drinking hard alcohol since mid-day, and had been binge drinking for the past three months. The man had tried to get the woman, 44, help with her drinking problem,

but she did not believe she had a problem. The husband also said he had been drinking. He said his wife, for some unknown reason, put on a bikini and started dancing around the house. She became confrontational with him, he went to the couch and then heard her call 911. He told police that officers had been to the home three days earlier after she had threatened to kill herself, and she had become upset with him after she had been taken to Harrison Hospital for an evaluation. The woman agreed to take a breath test for police, and the results came back at .267. She declined help from an aid crew. Police left after determining she was alert and not a danger to herself, but came back to the home when the husband called 20 minutes later to say his wife said she was going to walk to the casino, and he was afraid she would be hit by a car. Police found her stumbling in the street and took her home. The woman tried to leave the

home again but decided she couldn’t with the deck lights on, so she started to break the lights. While police were still at the home, she went back inside and started swinging at her husband. She knocked off his hat and then hit him on the head, but he was not injured. Officers arrested the woman for fourth-degree assault. She was booked into Kitsap County Jail and bail was set at $500. Wednesday, Feb. 11 10:50 a.m. Police stopped a 47-year-old man for speeding on Highway 305 near Day Road. He had a suspended license and was cited for driving with a suspended license that was revoked in the third degree. Tuesday, Feb. 10 8:05 a.m. Police stopped a 49-year-old Bremerton man on Manzanita Road after radar showed him driving 44 in a 35 mph zone. He also did not have a rear plate on his vehicle. Police discovered he had a suspended license, third degree, for unpaid tickets. He was cited for driving with a suspended license and was warned about speeding and not having proof of insurance.

12:19 p.m. An officer pulled over a 36-year-old Bainbridge woman after seeing her toss a lit cigarette out her car window near the intersection of High School Road and Madison Avenue. She did not have a license and said she had left it at home. Police discovered her license had been suspended for failure to appear. She was cited for driving with a suspended license and no insurance. 12:30 a.m. A loud explosion was heard near Captain Johnston Blakely Elementary School. Police received other reports of loud explosions, and further investigation revealed multiple incidents of mailboxes being damaged by fireworks. Monday, Feb. 9 1:46 p.m. A 49-year-old Bainbridge woman in a 2011 Mercedes was driving west on High School Road near Capstan Drive NE when she was rear-ended when she slowed down for traffic. She told police the vehicle in front of her had stopped for a pedestrian in a crosswalk when she was struck from behind. The driver of the other vehicle said he saw the woman slowing down but was unable to stop

Page A5 in time. No one was hurt, but the bumpers on both vehicles were damaged. Sunday, Feb. 8 2:12 p.m. An abandoned bicycle was found behind the restroom building at the Chevron station on Hildebrand Avenue. It was taken to the police station for safekeeping. 5:12 p.m. A 19-year-old Poulsbo woman and a 20-year-old Lakewood man got into an argument while driving south on Highway 305. Police found their SUV on the side of the road with its hazard lights on and the couple walking away from the vehicle. Police stopped and the woman, who appeared to have been crying, said “I just want my phone back.” The man said they had gotten into an argument and said the phone had gotten lost alongside the road earlier. There were no signs of a physical altercation, so the couple was released to go on their way. Officers later learned of a report filed later that evening of a domestic assault, and the man was arrested. Saturday, Feb. 7 6:29 p.m. A 51-year-old woman

from Vancouver, B.C. was driving south on Madison Avenue in a 2004 Ford Escape when she went through the intersection at Wyatt Way without stopping and hit a 2015 Mini Cooper being driven by a 26-year-old man from Houston, Texas. No one was hurt. The woman said she didn’t see the stop sign. Monday, Feb. 2 10:40 a.m. A woman who had parked at Safeway came out to find a note on her windshield that said another car hit her 1999 Toyota 4Runner and drove off. The note had a license plate number, and police went to the home of the registered owner but no one was there. The woman told police her front bumper cover was torn and a piece was missing. An officer later saw the vehicle, a 1999 Nissan Pathfinder, parked at the high school. Police came back when school got out and talked to the 18-year-old who got into the car to drive away. He said he had trouble getting the car into reverse when leaving the Safeway parking lot, and that it went forward and bumped the other car. He said he looked at the other car before he left, but didn’t see any damage.

In Our Opinion

Emails are still not private Despite a public records lawsuit that has cost the city of Bainbridge Island roughly $800,000, some on Bainbridge sadly still have not learned what should have been one of the main lessons from the expensive and unnecessary legal battle. The lesson: There’s no such thing as a “private” email to city officials when the topic is government business. A stark reminder of the lack of a thorough understanding by some members of the public over the recent public records lawsuit — where Councilman Steve Bonkowski and former council members David Ward and Debbi Lester were sued after it was discovered they had been using their personal email accounts to conduct city business and the city was ruled to have violated the state’s Public Records Act — was on display during last week’s council meeting. Before the council meeting, Councilman Val Tollefson had penned a position paper on a proposed leash law that was posted on the city’s website. In his viewpoint, Tollefson recalled how he had received a large number of comments on the topic, and said many of them, both for and against the proposed regulations, were thoughtful and contained reasonable compromises. Others, not so much. “A number, unfortunately, have been attacks on the good faith of the members of the council who are working on this issue, have been mean-spirited and reflective of a profound lack of understanding of what it means to live and work side-by-side in a community,” Tollefson wrote. He also suggested that those public comments should be posted on the city’s website for others to read. “Take a long look at what your neighbors think. Some of you will be educated. Some of you will be embarrassed,” he wrote. The request, however, prompted outrage from one Bainbridge resident, who said it wasn’t appropriate for the city to display “private” emails that residents had sent to their council members. And therein lies one lesson that has not been learned. “There is no such thing as private correspondence to the council,” City Manager Doug Schulze reminded council members. It’s a fact that Bainbridge residents should also remember. And if some are now embarrassed, in hindsight, of the recent comments they have made to their elected officials, they should also remember the advice City Attorney Lisa Marshall gave the council during a recent training session on emails and public records: Don’t put anything in an email you wouldn’t want to see on the front page of the local paper.

Island Theatre begins second decade by looking back BY LUCIANO MARANO Bainbridge Island Review

For more than 20 years, Island Theatre has been working to bring varied and exciting works of the stage to the people of Bainbridge. Many times, they’ve done it with no stage. IT productions are performed often at Bainbridge Performing Arts, but they’ve also become community staples at the library, and they’ve been put on at Bloedel Reserve, Bainbridge High School and even living rooms all over the island. The performance group operates just slightly under the island’s entertainment culture radar most of the time, having no specific venue of their own and often times not announcing a long-term season schedule. However, their output has been impressive. Since its inception, the group has presented more than 100 plays to its collective island audience. With very few exceptions, IT productions are free to the community. This year, in celebration of their second decade of operation, IT’s season playbill will include a retrospective series at the Bainbridge Public Library of some of the best staged play readings from past years, as well as a full production in April of “Humble Boy” at Rolling

The 2007 Island Theatre production of “Season’s Greetings.” Bay Hall. The history of Bainbridge’s “best kept cultural secret” is a purely Bainbridgesque tale of innovation, determination and chance. It was all supposed to be a oneoff thing, according to company lore. In 1994, Louise Mills, one of the founders of Bainbridge Light Opera (known now as Bainbridge Performing Arts) and owner of an impressive private collection of rare vintage evening wear, persuaded her friend Michele McCrackin to direct and perform in an independent production of the 1926 Broadway comedy “The Play’s the

Thing.” The stage classic is a fizzy romantic farce that requires all the characters be in formal evening dress throughout. Mills raised enough money to rent the Bainbridge High School auditorium for three weeks. The show’s cast included Dave Allen, Steve Buechler, Bob Zinn, Michele McCrackin, Bob McAllister, Steve Stolee, Bob Cederwall and Miles Yanick. The show was a bigger hit than expected, and at the end of a successful run, during a celebratory group dinner, Mills put it to the cast and crew: “Well, our show made money,”

she reportedly laughed in disbelief. “And I want to ask you all what you think I should do with it? I could give you all a share of it, which would be about $50 apiece, or [dramatic pause] we could start a new theatre company!” The decision was unanimous, and Island Theatre was born. “She was kind of a force to reckoned with,” IT president Kathleen Thorne said of Mills “She was a huge fan of the theater and opera, especially musical theater,” Thorne remembered. “It was kind of haphazard for the first couple of years,” Thorne added, and recalled that though the group had figured out a lot of things since the inception, “it remains haphazard.” Perhaps, but gloriously so. The fledgling theatre company’s goal was then — and remains now — producing adult-oriented plays rather than musicals or children’s productions, which were well-covered by other organizations. Though the themes and material may be more adult and often less musical, there’s no lack of fun either in or behind IT productions, Thorne said. Even their board and production meetings, she explained, had maintained a very informal, do-it-yourself moxie. TURN TO THEATRE | A9

In fact, the only reason she is president today, Thorne said, is because she had the questionable fortune of having taken a bathroom break, which the rest of the group promptly took advantage of and voted her into the position during her brief absence. In spite of, or perhaps because of, their unorthodox style, IT has produced numerous memorable shows around the island. The group became a nonprofit in spring of 1994, and produced its first play, “Blythe Spirit” by Noel Coward, directed by Ron Milton, that same fall at the BHS auditorium. Plays produced in the first few years include “Crimes of the Heart,” “Love Letters,” “The Nerd” and many more, including two live radio shows titled “On the Air: From the Golden Age of Radio,” under the direction of Frank Buxton. During those same early years, IT also produced several readings in private homes and, to this day, “Island Theatre at Your House” (called YoHo, a series of gatherings hosted by volunteers in their homes at which participants are invited to join in a potluck dinner and a play reading) takes place throughout the year. “We’ve done some pretty amazing things,” Thorne said. “But it’s mostly

been under the radar. We’re trying to make up for that this year.” The group’s performances at the library have become events that guests actively look forward to, said Bainbridge Library branch manager Rebecca Judd. “We always know when it’s an Island Theatre weekend because people call the library to ask about the upcoming show,” she said. “And the plays are enjoyed long after the group has performed.” “Island Theatre always donates a copy of the script to the library for future community use. Island Theatre is part of the fabric of the library,” Judd added. Of course, those readers who are better at math may have already started to realize that IT’s anniversary was really last year. Yeah, Thorne laughed, well, where were you when they needed you, Rain Man? The performing group and its board members stay so busy, and so many productions come together at the last minute, she explained, that they didn’t even realize it was their anniversary until most of the year had already gone by. So, in typical IT fashion, they’re doing this whole anniversary thing their own way and in their own time, this year.

SPARTANS BOUND FOR STATE BHS swimmers, divers cap season BY BRIAN KELLY

Bainbridge Island Review

Spartan swimmers will compete in three relay events — as well as a half dozen other individual events — as the Bainbridge boys swim team heads to the 3A Boys Swimming and Diving Championships this Friday and Saturday at the King County Aquatics Center in Federal Way. The Bainbridge relay team of Sam Alpaugh, CJ Waite, Jem Bullock and Andy Yalung will kick things off for the Spartans in the 200-yard medley relay. The team had a qualifying time of 1:40.20 at districts last week at the Snohomish Aquatic Center. Parker Bushey (1:49.25) will swim in the 200-yard freestyle, along with teammate Henry Bacon (1:55.38). He is also the 10th seed in the 100-yard freestyle (49.26). David Jenkins (57.01) will compete in the 100-yard butterfly, and the Spartans will boast two racers in the 500-yard freestyle; Bullock (4:56.46) and Alpaugh (4:57.95). The relay team of Bushey, Waite, Yalung and Will Thompson will race as the 12th seed in the 200-yard freestyle relay after getting a qualifying time of 1:32.95 during a late January home meet. Alpaugh and Bullock are also in the 100-yard backstroke; with Alpaugh taking the seventh seed (54.91) and Bullock, the 13th spot (56.65) at state. Waite will look to challenge for a state title in the 100-yard breaststroke. He’s the third seed (59.64) and will race against top-seeded Dean Nguyen of Franklin (58.99) and second-seeded Andrew Lee of Bellevue (59.18). TURN TO STATE | A11

seniors when we were freshman, but they weren’t as involved as we are right now,” he explained. “I remember talking to my friends about it and saying, ‘When we’re seniors we got to do that!’” “It looked like a lot of fun,” he added. Jackson, a former Seahawks cheerleader herself, explained that historically cheerleading was actually quite a boys club for a long time. In fact, according to cheerleading.org, women weren’t even allowed into the sport at all until the late 1920s. “What started out as an all-male sport is now moving back towards its roots, well, sort of,” she said. “Since the 1920s women have dominated cheerleading, and over the years it became associated with femininity. But now that cheerleading incorporates tumbling, stunting and acrobatics, its reputation as a wimpy pastime is long gone.” “It is finally being recog-

Legitimate, and difficult. Jackson is quick to admit that although the squad’s routines may seem fun and easy, that’s just the performance aspect of what is actually a very physical show. “Being a male cheerleader is not easy,” she said. “In fact, you must be extremely strong, flexible and resilient. It can be helpful if you are

Page A11

already active in other sports before you start cheerleading, so you recognize the dedication and work ethic required to be on a team.” Grindeland said he was actually surprised to learn how difficult cheerleading was. “When we first got to cheer camp this summer … my first thought was, ‘Wow, this is way more intense than I thought,’” he remembered. Nearly all of this season’s male cheerleaders have been active participants in other sports during previous seasons, and they are familiar with the requirements of teamwork and competition. Cheerleading, however, Jackson insisted, requires a different mindset. “Male cheerleaders must be team players,” she said. “You are never truly performing on your own, and there are no personal victories in team cheering.” O’Neil, another male newbie, said that any teasing directed at the guys on the squad this year was minimal and all in good fun, mostly from former teammates in other sports. “I guess my friends gave

me some crap sometimes, but from everyone else — everyone was really supportive,” he said. “I was actually kind of surprised. They really supported us and what we were doing.” “We were happy to be out there and supporting the team,” he added. Even if it might be a while before cheerleading becomes thought of as a truly coed sport in the minds of most, Jackson said that for those guys who are willing to give it an honest try and work hard, the sport has a lot to offer, including numerous scholarships, potential national recognition and travel opportunities and a uniquely inclusive sense of camaraderie. “Coed cheer teams have a bond that most sports aren’t lucky enough to experience because of gender separation,” she explained. “The inclusiveness of these teams makes for an experience unlike anything else in sports.” “Although you may have to fight off some stereotypes, being a male cheerleader definitely has its advantages,” Jackson added.

Everyone on the squad agrees that the team benefits from the presence of both genders, though Jackson is quick to admit that it may take some time to reverse the notion that cheerleading is just for girls. “Most importantly, to be a male cheerleader, you also have to have an open mind and be willing to try new things,” she said. “Most boys grow up knowing about sports like baseball and football, but cheerleading is usually foreign territory. If you join a cheer squad, you have to learn all of the stunts and tumbling that go along with the sport.” The experience has been a rewarding one, O’Neil and Grindeland agreed, and one that they would recommend. “It’s a real team,” O’Neil said. “When we went to cheer camp over the summer, we were all shocked. Like, it was ridiculous because everyone gave it their all and everyone was putting so much blood, sweat and tears into the sport and I was just amazed. It’s just an amazing experience to go out there and have fun.”

Friday, February 20, 2015 - Bainbridge Island Review

More sports ROUNDUP CONTINUED FROM A10

Spartans who leapt ahead (1815) to put the score at 42-40, and it was only a low-scoring finale quarter that saved the day for Blanchet. Bainbridge was outmatched 15-9 in the fourth. Despite that, Spartan senior Trent Schulte was the game’s scoring leader. He managed 17 points. Fellow Spartan senior Oskar Dieterich finished the night with 15 points. No Blanchet player managed to score more than 13.

Spartan gymnasts excel at districts BALLARD - Sarah Rice and Miller Shor both had top 10 finishes at the 3A/2A District 2 gymnastics championships last weekend. Holy Names won the team title with 166.4 points, followed by Sammamish in second place, 162.025. Rice placed fourth in allaround (33.975), and Shor was 10th (32.325). Rice was 10th on vault with a score of 8.525, and tied for seventh place on bars (7.35) with Clara Yardley of Ballard and Carrie Jeffers of Juanita. The best event for the Spartan standout was beam, where Rice claimed third place with a score of 8.85. Shor finished sixth in the event, with a score of 8.475. Rice also tied for ninth on floor (9.25) with Amirah Karam of Ballard.

Panthers pounce in girls hoops finale SEATTLE - The Seattle Prep Panthers took a 12 point-sized bite out of Bainbridge in the Spartans’ second postseason outing Thursday, Feb. 12. The Bainbridge High varsity girls basketball team suffered a 40-32 loss to Seattle Prep in what was slated to be the final game scheduled for this season for BHS. The Spartans finished the season with a 0-6 league record (8-14 overall), and ranked in sixth-place in the Metro Mountain Division. Lakeside High claimed the top spot with a 5-1 league record (16-3 overall).

Bainbridge beaten by Blanchet 53-18 in hoops SEATTLE - The Spartan girls varsity basketball team did not fair as well as they would have liked in their first Metro 3A postseason outing last week and found themselves on the wrong end of a 53-18 score against Bishop Blanchet.

The game was held at the neutral court of West Seattle High, but Blanchet took the lead early, and led 24-5 in the first quarter. In the second, Bainbridge again found themselves significantly down on the offensive end, 9-1, and the Spartans trailed at halftime 33-6. The third quarter turned out to be Bainbridge’s best of the game and they were able to tie Blanchet’s scoring efforts 11-11. At the start of the fourth, with the score at 44-17, Bainbridge’s dismal offensive attempts continued, and the Spartans were again outscored 9-1. Spartan senior Paige Brigham lead the team’s offensive efforts. She finished with 10 points. Sophomore Kiera Havill managed three points and Taylor Tye finished the night with two points.

Spartans third in Metro gymnastics SEATTLE - Bainbridge was edged by Ballard for the second team slot at districts as the Spartans finished third in the Metro Championships in gymnastics. Holy Names took the team title with 163.955. Ballard scored 162.05, followed by Bainbridge in third with 151.225. The Spartans’ Sarah Rice finished fourth in all around (33.325) and also placed fifth on beam (8.5). Rice’s best event was the floor exercise, where she tied for second with a score of 9.2. Fellow Spartan Miller Shor was fifth on floor, with a score of 8.8. Qualifying for districts were Rice (all around), Shor (all around), Emma Chee (all around), Juliana Hinkley (vault, bars and beam) and Alathea Pippinger (floor exercise).

Bainbridge boys take Texas by storm FORT WORTH, TEXAS - The Bainbridge Island Boys’ Gymnastics teams, under the guidance of Bryan “Galoot” Garoutte and Tim “Get A-Long Little Doggy” Forro made Texas Toast of their competition at the Metroplex Challenge in Fort Worth on Jan. 27-Feb. 1. With teams competing from Florida and Maryland to Oklahoma and Alabama, Bainbridge Island was the sole representative of the Pacific Northwest at the meet deep in the heart of Texas. Level 4 whiz Dashiell “Rootin’ Tootin’” Gann dropped the rest of the field, winning the 7-8 age group and tying up first on floor, pommel horse and high bar, and winning the all-around. Level 5 boys (ages 9-10) cowboyed up and lassoed a

fourth-place team win in a fiercely competitive field. Leo “Wild West” Uyekawa galloped away with a first-place finish on the floor, a second on rings and blazed into a second-place finish overall. Aiden “Yee Haw!” Cretarolo snagged third in both floor and high bar, roping up sixth in the all-around. Owen “This Ain’t My First Rodeo” Scheer corralled fifth on vault and sixth on Pommel Horse, and rode into the sunset for a 12th place allaround overall. Jack “High Noon” Ekstrand wrangled 12th place on vault and hauled off 16th place overall. With a field of athletes from seven states, Abe “The Whole Enchilada” Muldrow and Kiernan “Tumblin Tumbleweed” Liberman didn’t mess around. Liberman swung to a third place in high bar and landed 11th overall. Muldrow buckled up ninth place in floor and parallel bars, and corralled a 13th-place overall finish.

Spartans felled by West Seattle SEATTLE - Garfield High school was the battleground that witnessed the game slated to be the Spartans final outing of the season Thursday, Feb. 11. The Bainbridge High boys varsity basketball team went up against West Seattle, but were ultimately bested 67-62. The loss on the road left the Spartans with a 6-8 league record (11-10 overall), and the fifth-place spot in the Metro Mountain Division, just above O’Dea (8-12, overall). Eastside Catholic claimed the top spot (18-5, overall). West Seattle led 20-15 in the first quarter, but Bainbridge quickly came back and outscored them 15-12 in the second to put the halftime score at 32-30, with West in front by a bucket. The Spartans began to slip in the third, and West outshot BHS

11-6. At the start of the fourth quarter, the Spartans trailed 43-36. It was, despite a final quarter rally, a deficit Bainbridge would be unable to surmount. Bainbridge’s behemoth, the 6-foot-9 senior wing/post Oskar Dieterich, led the team’s offensive efforts and scored 16 points. Fellow senior Blake Swanson put up 12 and sophomore Spartan star Lyle Terry managed 11. Senior guard Trent Schulte contributed 10 points as well.

BHS wrestlers nab third at 3A Regionals SEATTLE - There was very little love at the recent 3A District wrestling tournament held on Valentine’s Day at Chief Sealth High School. The 15 squads that came to face off for the top spot weren’t too concerned about feelings, and there was no room for thoughts of hearts and flowers. Bainbridge High managed to secure the third-place spot overall with a total team score of 128. O’Dea claimed the first-place ranking (251.5) and Roosevelt stole second (209). Spartan grapplers claimed top spots in several weight classes, including three firstplace finishes. Cade Topham finished in second-place in the 120-pound bracket, losing the first-place spot to O’Dea’s Korry Broderick in a 14-4 decision match. Jonathan Gallivan, however, locked up the first-place spot in the 126-pound bracket. Gallivan, slated to wrestle fellow Spartan teammate Myron Butler in the first round won through a default ruling and then went on to claim two successive decision wins (5-1 over Nathan Hale’s Zeyab Nasir and a perfect 11-0 over Filmon Woldemariam, also of NH). Spartan superstar Jack Miller claimed the first-place spot for Bainbridge in the 138-pound

bracket. Miller pinned Matt Williams of Eastside Catholic in the first round in 1:12 and then, in the second, made short work of West Seattle’s Nicholas Outey, pinning him in just 32 seconds. In the final match, Miller claimed a 6-2 decision win over Roosevelt’s Erik Choi. Bainbridge dominated two of the top spots in the 160-pound bracket. Aaron Jumpa finished in second-place and Joaquin Gurza claimed third. Jumpa pinned Roosevelt’s Conrad Austin in 2:36 in the first round, then claimed a 5-1 decision win over Nathan Hale’s Chris Moore in the second match before coming up short against Roosevelt’s Tom Skoog (3-2 decision). Gurza also couldn’t find a flaw in Skoog’s technique, and lost against him in a 5-2 decision after having claimed a 9-2 win over West Seattle’s Miguel Cervantes in the first round. Gurza went on to win two matches in the consolation bracket (a 6-1 decision over Roosevelt’s Conrad Austin followed by a flawless 9-0 decision over Nathan Hale’s Chris Moore) to secure the third-place spot. Regular Spartan bracket-topper Liam Topham locked up the first-place spot in the 170pound division. He pinned Garfield’s Ryan Mendle in 1:23 in the first round, then claimed a 13-1 decision over Bishop Blanchet’s Noah Traynor, before performing a flawless 5-0 decision win over Lakeside’s Jadyn Brown for the championship. BHS will send six wrestlers to the 2015 Mat Classic XXVII Boys and Girls Mat Classic State Wrestling Championship Tournament, beginning Friday, Feb. 20 at the Tacoma Dome. The Spartan grapplers representing Bainbridge will be both Cade and Liam Topham (120and 170-pounds, respectively), Gallivan (120), Miller (138), Jumpa (160) and Gurza (160).

They celebrated their diamond anniversary on Jan. 21. That diamond was forged by raising two sons, and sticking together through good times and bad. The Vestmans now have 10 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Both are retired. Janet had a career in office work and Tord worked in construction. It all began when they met in California in 1954. “I was a shipwrecked See MarrIaGe, Page 3

Continued from page 2 seaman,” Tord said, noting that he’d come from Sweden on freighters and ended up in California. He left home at 17 and after being at sea for months found his way to the Norwegian Seamen’s Church in San Pedro, California. Janet had a good job as a clerk typist for the California Department of Airports. She was independent, had her own car and was beginning to set up household. She’d come to the church that day to play ping pong with a friend. Tord spotted her right away. “She was kind of bashful,” Tord said. “That’s what attracted to me her in the first place.” Janet noticed him looking at her and told her friend it was time for them to change ends of the ping pong table. “My friend said, ‘You don’t change ends in ping pong,’ ” Janet said. “I told her this guy was staring at me and we needed to change ends.” Eventually, Tord broke the ice and they began talking. “Once I found out she had a good job and a car and already owned her own bedroom set, I said, ‘I gotta marry this woman.’ ” They married on Jan. 21, 1955, in a small ceremony in Monterey, the day before Tord shipped

out with the U.S. Navy. A friend who was supposed to take pictures never showed and because Tord left the next day, Janet spent that day — her honeymoon — touring the area with another of Tord’s friends. “I said, ‘I want to see what I was supposed to see,’ ” Janet said. “I wanted to see the sights.” Their first years took them to Germany where Tord was stationed and where Janet caught up with him. They traveled through Europe and in August 1956, they were back in New York where Tord “mustered out” of the Navy and they flew back to California. They bought their first house in Torrance for $11,200 and began life with one son, Gary, who was born in Germany. “The payments were $57 a month and I thought, ‘What have we done?’ ” he said. “That was a lot in those days.” Tord went into the electrician trade and found work building homes. A second son, Kurt, was born in 1960. By 1967, there was a building moratorium in place in California and work dried up. So Tord ask a friend who lived on Bainbridge Island, if there was work, and when he learned there was, the family moved to the island. He worked as an electrician until he retired in 1989. Janet worked 16 years at a drug store,

In retirement, they were able to keep busy by building and operating a storage business at Rolling Bay. Part of it was developed into the Municipal Court for the City of Bainbridge, and they currently live behind the business with their “adopted daughter” Sadie, a 3-year-old golden lab. Their marriage has had good times and bad times, they admit. But through it all, they’ve always kept a

sense of humor. “We laugh a lot,” Janet said. “We’ve never really ever fought about much.” Doing things together — even if it’s as simple as grocery shopping — is important, they say. And so is time apart. “She’s been so good about letting me and the boys do things like fishing and hunting when they were young,” Tord said. “She’s been just everything to me.” Likewise, Janet said she

THE BOOKEND LITERARY NEWS FROM AROUND KITSAP

Kingston’s Randy Henderson starts debut novel tour in Kitsap stores BY RICHARD D. OXLEY Kitsap Week

n the wake of his success last year, Kingston author Randy Henderson is set to tour in support of his new novel, “Finn Fancy Necromancy.” “It’s my debut novel,” Henderson said. “It will be a first book in a (three book) series.” Henderson said “Finn Fancy Necromancy” is an adult genre novel, but is also apt for young adult readers too. First editions hit store shelves on Feb. 10. Henderson made an author appearance at the University Bookstore in Seattle for the release. Poulsbo’s Liberty Bay Books hosted him the following evening, then

Above, Randy Henderson talks about his new book “Finn Fancy Necromancy” at a book-release event at Poulsbo’s Liberty Bay Books on Feb. 11. Richard D. Oxley Bainbridge Island’s Eagle Harbor Book Co. on Feb. 12. It marks the beginning of Henderson’s book tour for “Finn Fancy Necromancy.” “I will be doing a tour

down the West Coast hitting the Portland area and several locations in California,” Henderson said. The tour will take him as far south as San

Diego. A full schedule of Henderson’s book tour, including Northwest appearances, is online at www.randy-henderson. com. Henderson’s debut novel humorously follows Finn Gramaraye, who last experienced our reality through the lens of the 1980s. The book picks up after Gramaraye returns to the modern world, quite different from how he left it. “It’s basically about a young man, who is a magic user, that is wrongly accused of a crime,” Henderson said. “In 1986, as a teenager, he is framed for a magical crime and is sent to a fairy world for 25 years, and when he returns to our world, he is framed for another crime. There’s a lot of ’80s references and jokes. It focuses on humor a lot.” Readers can also find other references from the Northwest, where the story is set. “It’s based in Port Townsend. They visit Kingston, they go to the EMP in Seattle. They visit some local landmarks, and the feel should be familiar to Northwest readers,” Henderson said. Henderson has written extensively within the science fiction realm,

which requires considerable research. “Finn Fancy Necromancy” is Henderson’s attempt as a writer to break from the research routine and have a little fun. It therefore branches more into fantasy than science fiction, and draws heavily from the Kitsap and Olympic regions. “I wanted to focus on having fun with the story, and not doing a lot of research, so I used the areas I was familiar with,” Henderson said. “And I love Port Townsend. It’s a great town and it begs to be a setting for a story with magic.” Editors at Tor Books

— a science fiction and fantasy publisher — found it fun too. They picked it up for a three-book deal. Depending on its success, however, there could be more books, beyond three. “If people like it, we will continue with the series,” Henderson said. “It’s planned as the first of three books, in a potentially ongoing series.” The novel’s release follows Henderson’s 2014 Writers of the Future award, presented by speculative fiction’s best and brightest. He was further honored with contest’s Golden Pen Award, given to the top writer of the year.

Wedding planners take care of all the details

By LESLIE KELLY

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

edding planners are the professionals who can make certain everything happens as it should on the big day. And that’s why they are so needed. Just ask one. “Sure, you can ask your mother or your sisters or your friends to help out,” said Rebecca Neal, a wedding planner with Ramblin’ Rose Events. “But why put that stress on them? They want to enjoy the day too.” Darla Vieyra, wedding planner with Red Door Designs, agrees. “The bride and groom should be able to just enjoy their day,” she said. “If you have a wedding planner, then you know all the details are taken care of. And on the wedding day, if there are questions, there’s somebody to go to, so the wedding party can stay relaxed.” Wedding planners offer a variety of services. Most offer “day-of” service, which can cost from $400 to $1,000. Full service begins nine to 12 months before the wedding and ranges from $1,500 to $2,600. Planners say once you get engaged, you should begin to shop for a wedding planner. “Most of the brides who come to me have found their venue and have their date,” Neal said. “What comes next is setting the budget.” Vieyra’s experience has been that engaged couples come to her and want help finding wedding professionals. “Get with a planner as soon as possible,” she said. “There’s so many details that need to be taken care of.”

Planner Darla Vieyra Both planners can help brides with venues, caterers, florists and photographers. They work with local companies and can suggest the best match based on the size of the wedding. And, when setting a budget, it’s the size that counts. “The typical cost for a smaller weddings in and around Kitsap County is $12,000,” Neal said. “The average cost, however, is more like $18,000. It all depends on how many people attend.” Planners suggest interviewing several wedding planners and deciding on who’s the best match. “Make sure it’s somebody you are comfortable with and can be honest with,” Vieyra said. Once the decision is made and the budget is set, planners generally keep in touch with the brides through email. They often meet face-to-face once a month. A planner who works with the couple pre-wedding generally helps with the selection of vendors and takes care of confirming all dates with the vendors and overseeing the contracts. They can make

suggestions of ways to save money, if needed. The planner stays in touch with the vendors throughout the process, updating them of any changes in plans. They also keep a timeline of when things need to be done, such as securing the wedding attire, selection and sending invitations and confirming the menu with the caterer. They assist with the wedding day itinerary for the couple, the wedding party, family and vendors and they review and coordinate the rehearsal and ceremony with officiates, the wedding party and vendors. On the day-of, planners assist the bridal party, distribute payments to vendors, organize and set up photos, distribute flowers, oversee the venue and decorations, provide for emergency needs and troubleshoot when needed. Many planners also help in making the decorations and planning the theme and the decor for the event. Planners say that, in general, it’s the bride that makes the call. “Generally, the only thing the groom really gets involved with much is sampling the food and cake and deciding what’s going to be served,” Neal said. And, one of the best parts of having a planner is they handle after-theceremony duties. “After the wedding and reception is over, nobody, especially the parents of the bride and groom, want

to stick around and clean up,” Neal said. “That’s part of what we do as planners.” Planners also ensure cake and meals are boxed for the wedding party to take with them and they load gifts and keepsakes into the designated cars. Vieyra said brides and grooms need to keep in good communication with their planner. “Don’t be afraid to be assertive,” Vieyra said. “It’s your wedding. I’m here to keep things calm and make sure everything is happening as you want it to.” Vieyra became a wedding planner after she planned her wedding. She was married in October 2012. She and her husband, who is in the Navy, moved from San Diego later that year to Port Orchard when he was assigned to Bangor. She has a background in interior design. “It just seemed like the perfect career for me,” she said. “I love being behind the scenes and making things happen. And I’m a crafty person.” Her goal is to make each wedding unique to the couple. “Extreme attention to detail and a cohesive overall picture is so important,” she said. “With me I’m a planner and that’s the key.” Services at her company, which she named Red Door Designs because red is her favorite color, include full service, day-of, partial service and an a la carte menu. But even the

day-of service starts about two months before the event. Vieyra likes doing outdoor weddings but will work in any venue. She has found that summer and fall are the most popular times for weddings in the Pacific Northwest. Recently, the vintage or rustic wedding decor has been the most popular. She also specializes in making stationery, invitations and signs for weddings.

“Extreme attention to detail and a cohesive overall picture is so important.” — Darla Vieyra, planner She also does other events. Find out more at www.RedDoorDesignsNW. com. Neal began her business, Ramblin’ Rose Events, after returning to the area from Colorado in 2009. Her mother had a flower business and she decided that doing events would couple nicely with that. Today, the business focuses on events for groups smaller than 100. They offer a barn and meadow for outdoor weddings and parties on five acres near Port Orchard. Neal will plan weddings at any locale, but offers up the Ramblin’ Rose Barn and Meadow for consideration. Rates range from $1,000 to $1,800. Birthday

parties, work parties and anniversaries are welcome. Besides the barn, she’s managed weddings at the Kitsap Conference Center, at Catholic churches, state parks and at Port Gamble. She even was invited along for a two-week wedding in the Bahamas. Generally, she takes on about four weddings each season, and hopes to grow her business. She and her husband and daughter live on the property as well as her mother and grandmother who help with events at Ramblin’ Rose. Her mother doesn’t do flowers anymore, but make special balloon arches for weddings and parades. She’s found barn weddings to be popular. “We’ve done them where guests sit on hay bales instead of chairs, and where the aisle is decorated with standing logs covered in flowers,” she said. “Anything rustic — either antique-like or with a country-cowboy theme fits well with the barn.” Her advice to couples is to never scrimp on the photographer. “Everything else will fade away,” she said. “You won’t remember what the food tasted like, or what the cake looked like,” she said. “But the photos will be with you forever. They are the only thing that truly lasts forever.” For more information, go to www.ramblinrevents. com, or email Neal at Ramblin-rose@hotmail. com.

For the brides, it’s all about the wedding dress By LESLIE KELLY

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

ith many years of experience behind her, Lynanne White is ready for another season of weddings. She plays an important part. She dresses brides. White is the owner of American Rose Bridal in Poulsbo. The store offers a wide range of bridal gown styles and sizes and has everything needed to dress bridesmaids, grooms and groomsmen, mothers of the couple, and any children who have parts in the ceremony. This year White anticipates the more simple, elegant styles to be popular. “It’s not so much the poofy ball gowns that brides are wanting,” White said. “They are going for the fitted, mermaid-style gowns, with lace and keyhole, or open low backs that are jeweled.” As for color, brides are opting for neutrals, ivory, creams, beige and champagne, not pure white.

Lynanne White, owner of American Rose Bridal in Poulsbo. “A lot of brides come in here thinking they want white,” she said. “But not a lot of people look good in pure white. Once they try it on, they realize that.” That also goes for styles. “Sometimes, brides have seen a dress in a magazine that they like and they come in here to try on one like it,” she said. “But once they get it on, they can see that it’s not the style for them.” Bridal gowns in her shop range in price from

$200 to $1,000. Most her brides aren’t shopping for a designer-named dress as they are looking for a particular style. She said the English Downton Abbey-style dress isn’t something that she’s finding to be popular, mostly because of the cost. “Weddings around here aren’t usually the $30,000 wedding,” she said. “Those dresses can be upward of $10,000.” She did have a dress similar to what Princess

to sell and after a few years I decided having a retail location made more sense.” She can alter a dress as a bride desires and she often will work with a bride to change aspects of a dress that the bride wants to appear a bit different than it does store made. Some brides come in to buy a year in advance, while others are more spur-of-the-moment. “I had a bride come in on a Wednesday night to find a dress,” she said. “She was getting married on Friday.” That happens most often when one or the other -— bride or groom — are in the Navy and shipping out unexpectedly. She hasn’t had to deal with many “Bridezillas.” But she’s seen some “Momzillas.” “Brides come in knowing what they want,” she said. “But their moms sometimes have a different idea. That’s when the problems come about.” She suggests not to bring a lot of people with you when you come to try on dresses. “Just bring one or two people who you really trust,” she said. “Otherwise it can get too confusing with too many opinions.” It’s common nowadays, too, for brides to take “selfies” in front of the mirror as they try on dresses and then go home to think about what dress they’ll buy. “Sometimes they’ll send pictures out to people who live out of the area and ask for advice,” White said. “That’s particularly the case when trying to decide bridesmaids’ dress styles.” White also warns against buying a wedding dress

online. “People like to shop online,” she said. “But they’ll bring the dress in here and tell me it doesn’t look like it did online and it doesn’t fit. Many times the dress shown online is a designer dress and what they get in the mail is a cheaper version.” Those brides often start all over and decide on another dress from her shop. “We’re here to fix their mistakes,” she said. About half her business is for weddings. She also outfits women and men for military balls, chamber galas, cruises, proms and other formal events. For more go to www. americanrosebridal.com, or go to 19045 Highway 305, Suite 160, Poulsbo. Call her at 360-697-9100. American Rose Bridal is outfitting the models during the fashion shows at the Kitsap Wedding Expo. There will be two shows on Saturday.

The vintage option Many brides are opting for the vintage look. And the Meli-Melo Island Vintage Boutique is a great place to look for vintage wedding dresses. Karen Mar has been a collector of vintage fashions all her life. It was only after moving to Bainbridge Island with her husband four years ago that she decided she had to share her collection with others. That’s what prompted her to open Meli-Melo, a French term that means “a little bit of everything,” in downtown Bainbridge. The boutique includes nine venSEE ATTIRE, NEXT PAGE

Kate Middleton wore, but even it didn’t sell. “People came in and when they saw it they’d say. ‘Oh, that’s Kate’s dress,’ ” White said. “But they didn’t want to wear it.” For bridesmaids, soft pinks and blush seems popular this year. The bright colors aren’t so popular as they have been, White said. In recent years, brides will pick a color that they want for the bridesmaids’ dresses and then have the women wear a dress that fits their body type. “Gone are the days where the bridesmaids all wear the same style dress,” she said. “Brides realize that the bridesmaids want to look good in what they have on.” Other trends include unusual footwear. “I don’t sell many shoes anymore,” she said. “Brides and bridesmaids are wearing Converse tennis shoes or cowboy boots. That’s one of the ways they are personalizing their weddings.” She does outfit grooms, too, and has a full range of rental tuxes. Black remains the most popular. “Shades of gray, sand and silver are used as well as navy,” she added. Long tails aren’t common, and she’s only seen them worn once by the groom in a couple who was from England. She dresses about 100 brides a year and has had the shop for 10 years. Prior to that, she worked from her home hand-making wedding gowns. “I found it less expensive to buy gowns, especially when you consider the hours spend in doing fine hand-beading,” she said. “I use to pack up dresses and go to these shows

Some brides prefer to create their own invitations By LESLIE KELLY

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

Wedding invitations are just about as different as are brides and grooms. Just ask Stephanie Hughes. “There is no normal anymore,” Hughes said. “Brides and grooms are free to create and use any invitation they want.” And to facilitate that, Hughes puts her graphic design talents to work with custom papers she has in store at her business, Paper Quirks. Once a date is chosen, and a location set, brides and grooms come to her and start talking. “They tell me what they’re thinking and we

take a look at what other couples have done,” she said. “If they can explain (the concept) to me, I can make it.” Papers can be solid colors, metallic and prints. The “chalk board” look is popular and colors that are trendy are corals, shades of gray and blue and muted color. “Bright colors aren’t being used that much anymore,” she said. “And thank goodness the Tiffany blue phase is over.” Many couples are opting to include their photograph on the invitation, and the simple single fold invitation is rarely used. Tri-folds, or invitations that open like a package are in. Graphics

and typography is the focus. As for what’s said on the invitation, it’s a lot more informal, she said. “The names of the parents aren’t used that often anymore, unless it’s young brides who want to show respect to their parents who are paying for the wedding,” Hughes said. “Most couples are using wording that means something to them.” On average, invitations cost from $1.50 to $2.25 per person. Save-the-date cards are popular, especially for couples who are planning their weddings in advance. Often couples will use postcards. “One couple I worked with used 12 small tiles

nine vendors who show vintage items, home decor (including some antique and shabby chic furniture), handmade jewelry and gifts. “It was always a dream of mine to open a vintage store,” Mar said. “It just seemed like the time was right.” Mar has designed custom bridal veils selling them online and directly to customers through bridal salons since 1995. Meli-Melo has a booth dedicated to wedding attire with vintage gowns and Mar’s handmade veils. She even stocks some more up-to-date bridal fashions which she gets from bridal salons. But nothing in that booth is more than $499. “My passion for vintage clothing, especially wedding attire, is because vintage looks classy and timeless,” she said. “And people who want vintage appreciate that they are using something that has a history. It makes them feel good to wear

comes to wedding fashion, others think wearing a repurposed gown is great, a statement about giving new life to once-used things. In most cases, with vin-

on their card with photos of things that told their story,” she said. “They had a picture of their Airstream travel-trailer, their hairless cat and a football team that meant something to them. Then they just listed the date at the bottom of the card.” A bundle of 150 cards cost them $103. Hughes will also design invitations and put them on discs to be printed elsewhere, if the couple wants. “I know some couples are on tight budgets,” she said. “We work on getting something that looks really wonderful and then it will print on a lesser quality paper nicely.” While Hughes will do

all the work for the bride, some brides like to make their own invitations. Hughes has a classroom in the back of her store where the bride and friends can do that if they want. “Things seem to be more relaxed and not so fancy anymore,” she said. “It usually follows what the economy is doing.” Hughes also paints personalized wood signs for use at weddings and receptions using the chalk paint process. Hughes and her husband, Nate, moved to the Poulsbo area from Utah about four years ago. She grew up in the area and wanted to return to be near family. Her husband

is a software developer and works for Disney in Seattle. They have a son, 5, and a daughter who is in college. After making invitations and paper wedding flowers and selling them online, Hughes decided to open a retail store last November. The store is at 18657 Highway 305, Suite 7, in Poulsbo. She stocks supplies for paper crafts including scrapbook paper, chalk paint, signs, some small painted furniture, and an array of crafty items such as pendants and magnets made from bottle caps. To schedule a time to create a personal wedding invitation, call her at 206858-3191.

tage gowns, brides opt for a cream, ivory, or antique white. “Mormon brides are the only ones that say they have to have pure white gowns,” Mar said. “Otherwise, pure white is not that popular.” Some of the vintage gowns are displayed just as they originally were made. Others have been made by Mar using vintage fabrics. Styles also include the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Her hand-beaded veils come in both short and long lengths. “Destination brides like the short veils because having a long train and transporting it can get tough,” she said. Depending on the design and length of a veil,

Mar can invest from five hours to days to complete a veil. “I sit with a veil and bead and just lose track of time,” she said. As for dress styles, young brides prefer off-theshoulder styles, she said, whereas older brides prefer to cover their shoulders and arms. Just as important are the accessories that a bride wears, and Mar has

some of those, too. Making sure that a bride’s jewelry matches the style and era is important. “We have some nice vintage pendants with pearls and gems that are just the perfect accents,” she said. Meil-Melo is located at 162 Bjune Drive SE, Bainbridge Island. Call 206 780-6700, or go to www. melimeloivb.com.

Capturing the moment is the photographer’s task By LESLIE KELLY

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

hey’re been to fields and farms. And churches and castles. And even to Alaska and the East Coast. That’s just a few of the places Hannah and Tyler Scholle, of Tyler and Hannah Photography in Silverdale, have been to photograph a wedding. “We love to travel,” Hannah said. “We have lots of great venues right here in Kitsap County. But we’ve had friends ask us along on their destination weddings to Alaska, the East Coast and the Midwest. The married couple began their wedding photography business about three years ago. They both come from families that made photography important as they were growing up. “Tyler’s father is a nature and wildlife photographer,” Hannah said. “And both my parents have had an interest in photography since they were young and did it in 4H. Tyler started out in real estate photography and he began pho-

I was helping him with that and eventually we just decided to make it our full time business.” While they’ve been working out of their home, they are in the process of opening a studio in the Old Town district in Silverdale. Weddings make up 80 percent of their business, but they also photograph babies, families and do senior portraits. “We’re really trying to focus on weddings,” she said. “We do about 20 to 30 a year.”

In fact, their August is already booked. She suggests that brides and grooms begin looking for a photographer as soon as they set their wedding date. Some summer weekends book a year in advance. August and September are the busiest months in this area, Scholle said. Venues are up to the bride and groom, she said, but she and her husband like to shoot outdoors. “Nothing’s better than natural light,” she said. “Often, we’ll take the bride

and groom outdoors to shoot portraits, even after they’ve had an indoor church wedding.” Rain doesn’t even ruin outdoor weddings. “We can work with that,” she said. “We can make the rain drops look almost like glitter.” One of the most unusual weddings they’ve had was in Thornewood Castle in Tacoma. “Everything was very elegant,” she said. “The dresses were big ballroom styles. And the high ceilings gave a unique look in the photos.” They’ve done quite a few weddings at Red Cedar Farm in Poulsbo. “Weddings there are simple,” she said. “They’re really relaxed and rustic.” The average wedding photography runs from $3,100 to $4,500, but includes meeting with the bride and groom throughout the planning stages. It also includes actual photographs. “With some photographers, they’ll shoot the wedding and then just

hand over a disc or a thumb drive,” she said. “We like to present the whole story in an album.” They also download some photos taken during the wedding and show them on a large screen during the reception. And they can help couples with wall art —large photos on fabric that couples like to have to show in their homes. Two popular things that brides and grooms are opting for lately are “firstlook” photos and “dayafter” photo shoots. First look photos are the shot of the bride and groom when they first see each other on their wedding day, Scholle said. They also do that with brides and fathers of the brides. Day after photo shoots are not usually done on the day after the wedding, Scholle said, but more like a few weeks later. “The bride and groom get dressed again in their wedding attire and we take them to locales to shoot that they didn’t have time

to do on their actual wedding day,” she said. “Sometimes it’s Snoqualmie Pass, or with the Seattle skyline in the background, or somewhere that’s special to the couple,” she said. “Sunsets also are popular, if we weren’t able to do that on their wedding day.” Couples still like to have formal family shots too. “We do just what the bride and groom wants,” she said. “Usually it’s the moms who want to make sure there are some of the traditional shots.” The most important thing in selecting a wedding photographer is to look at their work. “Study their portfolio,” Scholle said. “And ask to see more if you’re not sure. Make sure the photographer is someone who will shoot what you want. And meet with them in person to know that you are comfortable with them.” Because, as she’ll tell you, the photos of your wedding are the one thing that will last forever.

It’s the traditional photo booth meets social media. It’s called the Viral Booth. And there’s a company in Silverdale that can bring the Viral Booth right to your location — even your wedding reception. According to Mindy McKeever and her husband, David, owners of Viral Booth CRV, the Viral Booth takes the traditional photo booth to the next level. “Our booth lets your guests take pictures and videos, and then share the celebration or special event instantly with the world through Facebook, Twitter and other social media,” she said. “And, of course, print the photos as well.”

Added in are lots of fun props for guests to dress in and hold. And there’s the option of specialty themed props to match the theme of your wedding. “We create a customized logo for each event to be printed on the bottom of the photo strips,” she said. McKeever said Viral Booth CRV was established in 2012 by Stefani and Noah Veth. McKeever said Viral Booth is not a “franchise.” “We are basically a independent contractor, with Viral Booth proprietary software — meaning, they host the main Viral Booth website and handle any technical issues and updates to the software,”

she said. The busiest months for the business are in the summer — wedding season. “Photo booths have become a huge hit at weddings over the past few years, and is a very competitive market,” McKeever said. “Since David and I have taken over the business, we have partaken in four weddings. We offer a variety of packages to suit every ones needs. Our package prices range from $450 to $1,325.” The couple introduced a new package this year, called the “Social Media Experience,” for $150. “Our price is about $100 below the top photobooth industry’s average,”

she said. “We understand people do have a budget and are willing to work as much as we can to suit their needs.” The standard package is two hours at $450 and the silver package is four hours at $850. Packages give guests the traditional photo-booth experience, a full-color three-picture photo strip with a client customized logo at the bottom. After the guest takes their picture, they will have the option to send their picture to Facebook, email, SMS text, Instagram and Twitter. There is no limit to the social media experience, she said. “Another feature our

booth offers is the option to record up to a 60-second video message,” she said. “And at the end of the event, we will copy all of the videos and pictures and give the flash drive to the client.” The platinum package of six hours at $1,325 offers ever ything mentioned above plus a scrapbook. “Our goal is to make sure that the client sees all of the fun that happened at their event and read the fun, silly comments their friends and family have left for them,” she said.

Same-sex couples have choices for their special day By LESLIE KELLY

hen Kathryn Hamm’s mother went looking for what she needed for her daughter’s same-sex commitment ceremony in 1999, she couldn’t find much. “My partner and I were planning a wedding and my mother wanted to help us,” Hamm said. “She looked all over Dallas, even at the gay bookstores, and she couldn’t find anything.” So, her mother founded TwoBrides.com and TwoGrooms.com, websites that connected same-sex partners with a directory of resources for gay brides and grooms. Eventually, those sites were joined to become GayWeddings.com, and Hamm went to work for the company based in Washington, D.C. On the site, wedding planners and individuals can find photographers, caterers, florists and venues that are open to samesex weddings. Hamm said while the number of states where same-sex marriage is legal is growing, the site also helps gay couples who are looking at commitment ceremonies. “So often, wedding professionals aren’t prepared for working with same-sex couples,” Hamm said. “It’s the little things — like referring to the couple as the brides or the grooms, rather than the bride and

Kathryn Hamm groom, and making sure the contract they sign says that. These are the kinds of things that make or break whether same-sex couples feel welcomed.” Hamm recalled a conversation she and her partner had with a venue they were looking at for their wedding in which the woman who was showing them around assumed there was a groom. “She was a lovely person and showed us around,” Hamm said. “But when we got back to her office to sign a contract, she asked us what the groom’s name was. At that point, she’d lost us as a client.” Other things that samesex friendly professionals need to consider are the images on their websites. “If gay couples don’t see themselves in those images, it’s a negative,” she said. Recently, GayWeddings. com joined services with WeddingWire.com to bring even more ser-

vices to same-sex couples. Included are several blogs where same-sex couples can get ideas for how to handle sensitive subjects. “It’s those things like whether to both walk down the aisle, and whether to kiss at the end of the service, that you can read how others handled them,” she said. “Same-sex weddings are highly personalized. Each couple has to determine what they are comfortable with.” There isn’t really anything “typical” when speaking of gay weddings. “Some couples don’t have cakes and therefore avoid the ‘cake-cutting’ drama,” she said. “Others find that’s something they want to do. The important thing is to plan what you want and know that your family and friends will support you in that.” At her own wedding, which was years before gay weddings were more commonplace, she had some nice surprises. “Many of the guests said they’d never been to a same-sex wedding,” she said. “And for some of the staff, it was their first gay wedding. But we had a couple of the servers pull us aside and tell us how much it meant to be a part of it because they were a gay couple.” Hamm said she thinks there’s a pent up demand for wedding professionals who will work with gay couples. As same-sex marriage becomes legal in more states, and possibly

a federal law passed, that will continue to grow. She noted a recent survey of wedding professionals that showed 82 percent welcomed gay couples. Of those who said, “No,” almost all said it was for religious reasons only.

Hamm’s recent book Her advice for gay couples planning a wedding? The same as with any couple. “Set a budget,” she said. “Think about your guest list and when and where you want to have your wedding. Then go from there.” And, she said, remember to work with those who you are comfortable with and those who welcome your union. “Have a good first conversation with your wedding planner or pro-

fessional,” she said. “Make sure they know what you want.” For more information, go to GayWeddings.com.

‘Going to the courthouse’ to get hitched is an option By LESLIE KELLY

lkelly@soundpublishing.com

etting married at the courthouse is something often seen in movies or on television. But it happens in real life too. And it happens here in Kitsap County. Although statistics aren’t kept as to the number of courthouse weddings annually, District Court Judge Marilyn Paja has officiated at many unions since she joined the bench in 1985. There are four District Court judges and they take turns performing the ceremonies, unless a couple asks for a specific judge. All courthouse weddings are performed after hours or on the weekends, Paja said. Other than the cost of a marriage license, the couple is asked to pay an honorarium to the judge that performs the service. She said couples who want courthouse weddings generally call the District

Court and reserve a specific time. There isn’t any “average” courthouse wedding, Paja said. “We speak to them individually so that we understand what they are wanting,” Paja said. “We work very hard to make sure that each ceremony is unique to the couple and is just what they want.” For example, she said, some don’t exchange vows. Others have special words they want to say to each other. And each judge has their own wording that they like to use. Most couples bring flowers or bouquets and have a photographer. Styles range from very formal to very informal. “We see people dressed casual,” she said. “Some are even in shorts in the summer. We’ve had folks in their Seahawks jerseys. We have some in military dress uniforms and the brides are in traditional

wedding gowns. There’s also long dresses and tuxes and some couples will dress in the costumes of their native country if they’re not from here.” The bride and groom must bring their own witnesses. “Unlike in the movies, we don’t provide that,” Paja said. Couples of all ages have courthouse weddings, she said. Valentine’s Day is popular as well as “odd dates,” like 12-13-14. “Weddings are very personal,” Paja said. “We just do the best we can to make them a happy and memorable occasion.” For marriage requirements, fees, waiting period and scheduling, call District Court, 360-3377033. To apply for a marriage license, visit the Kitsap County Auditor’s office at 619 Division St., Port Orchard, or go to www.kitsapgov.com/aud/records/ marriage.htm.
