“It’s amazing how our community jailbirds have rallied around MDA and are doing a great job as they continue to raise bail donations,” – Shelli Kind, Executive Director of MDA Western Washington. friends, family and co-workers who could make secure online donations. “It’s amazing how our community jailbirds have rallied around MDA and are doing a great job as they continue to raise bail donations,” explained Shelli Kind, Executive Director of MDA Western Washington. “The actual day of the Lock-Up will be a fun celebration of the work
each person did to help families who live right here in our community.” Lock-Ups are one of MDA’s signature fundraising programs, benefiting local individuals living with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related progressive muscle diseases in Bremerton. The event also will help send Western Washington-area youngsters to a special week
at MDA summer camp at Camp Seymour in Gig Harbor. Youngsters with muscle diseases, as well as the many volunteers who help create magic at MDA summer camp each year, enjoy a wide variety of activities designed specifically for youngsters with limited mobility. Some activities include horseback riding, swimming, football, and arts and crafts. MDA is the nonprofit health agency dedicated to curing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases by funding worldwide research. The Association also provides unparalleled health care services; advocates for the families it serves; and invests significant resources educating the medical and scientific com-
munities, as well as the general public, about neuromuscular diseases affecting more than 1 million Americans. MDA maintains a nationwide network of some 200 hospital-affiliated clinics — 38 of which are designed as MDA/ALS centers — that provide unparalleled medical and health care services to adults and children with neuromuscular diseases. Families in Bremerton are encouraged to visit the MDA Clinics at University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Hospital. For more information about MDA’s Lock-Up campaign, please contact Heidi Murphy at 206-283-2183 or hmurphy@mdausa.org.

Jailbirds have said they are having fun letting friends know they are going to be arrested. They say several of their friends even joked that they’ll give extra to MDA just to keep me locked up. Each MDA jailbird’s “bail” is set at $2,400 which will allow him/her to be released for good behavior, and the Bremerton jail is being hosted by LaFermata Restaurant. MDA also assists jailbirds in creating personalized LockUp donation websites to help raise their bail ahead of time online. The links for these websites can be emailed to

CENTRAL KITSAP – A Bremerton man was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center after he crashed his car into a tree in a parking lot April 18. According to the Washington State Patrol, Jonathan L. Baker, 21, of Bremerton, was in a white 2008 Chevrolet Impala that was stopped in the right lane of travel of northbound State Route 303 south of NE Furneys Lane. A passerby concerned about Baker’s welfare approached
his vehicle and tapped on the driver side window. Baker appeared to regain consciousness, the WSP report stated, and pressed down on the gas pedal. The vehicle then jumped the curb and went over a sidewalk and a small uphill embankment. The vehicle then struck a tree and came to rest in the Fred Meyer parking lot. The vehicle was totaled. Baker was wearing a seatbelt. It is not known if drugs or alcohol were a factor. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
