Site plans approved for new resort BY SERAINE PAGE
Bainbridge Island Review
Despite concerns over placement of handicapped parking, and spots for other motorists, plans for Pleasant Beach Resort were approved on Monday by the city’s Design Review Board. The city received the plan for the project on the southwest corner of Pitts Path Lane and Woodson Lane in November. The 15-room inn — which will include a main lodge and seven guest cottages — sits adjacent to the pool currently under construction for the Pleasant Beach Village area. During the review process earlier this week, DRB members expressed worry over the location of a handicap parking stall located far from the resort’s main lodge.

WMS school library seeks funding to update collection BY SERAINE PAGE
“I know they love to read books. I want to get them the most current and exciting material I can.”
Bainbridge Island Review
Some of the shelves of Woodward Middle School library are looking pretty bare these days. Where once hardcover and perfect bound books sat on the shelves, dust now collects. That’s due to a major “weeding out” of some 1,500 books that no longer hold relevance for today’s students. “I know they love to read books. I want to get them the most current and exciting materials I can,” said Ian Patrick, Woodward’s teacher librarian. “You have to keep a library current.” In hopes of getting new books back in the library sooner, Patrick has signed up for a unique online fundraiser called Mackin’s Funds4Books. It’s a way for districts, schools, libraries and classrooms to fundraise in a way that 100 percent of the funds go back to the beneficiary. It’s the way

Woodward librarian Ian Patrick holds a Holy Bible signed by Walt Woodward, the beloved former publisher of Bainbridge Review. Patrick and library staff hope to update the non-fiction collection specifically. Patrick has used the program before, and he said it’s so easy that there’s no reason he
shouldn’t do it. The online donation program also processes and ships the ready-for-shelves books for free as well. “This is hardly any effort on my part,” he admitted, but said
the benefits for students are still tremendous. While most libraries try to constantly remove old books to be replaced with the new, it is a task that often falls on the back burner due to lack of funding and time, Patrick said. The new books — physical and ebooks — will include reference, biographies and more. Patrick expects that he can purchase about 120 books if the fundraiser meets the $2,000 goal. It costs $17 to purchase a book that is library-ready, meaning the cover TURN TO WMS | A16

Man sentenced for attacks on two women BY BRIAN KELLY
Bainbridge Island Review
The mentally disturbed Bainbridge man who attacked two women at random outside The Doctors Clinic in December — and later tried to kill his cellmate at the Kitsap County Jail after an argument over a biscuit — was sentenced late last week to 15 months in prison. Adrian Allan Charvet, 25, pled guilty to a charge of second-degree assault before Kitsap County Superior Judge William C. Houser on Feb. 27. Senior Deputy Prosecutor Barbara Dennis said the sentence also includes 18 months of community custody after Charvet’s release, where he will be supervised by the state Department of Corrections. Charvet was arrested Dec. 15 after a three-hour standoff with Bainbridge police that began after he fled to his apartment after he beat up two strangers who were TURN TO ATTACKS | A16
