Flair from the air at Bainbridge’s Boaters Fair The annual Bainbridge Island Boaters Fair returned to downtown Winslow last week. A celebration of all things aquatic, the fair featured Coast Guard, fire department and police vessels and safety demonstrations as well as canoes and kayak rentals, a “Stand Up Paddleboard Joust” and “Canoe Tug-ofWar.” City staff also were on hand to discuss planned improvements to the dock.

Luciano Marano | Bainbridge Island Review

A Coast Guard rescue demonstration drew a large crowd to the end of the dock during last weekend’s Boaters Fair.

Smile after smile came through the front door Saturday night.

And that was before the first small plastic bag of legal cannabis was passed over the counter at Paper & Leaf, Bainbridge Island’s new retail recreational marijuana store.

Located in an industrial park on Day Road, the shop hosted a “soft opening” Saturday for a group of nearly 50 friends, islanders and others.

Steven Kessler and Brendan Hill, the founders of Bainbridge’s first and only licensed recreational cannabis shop, recalled the reaction of one of the store’s employees after the public got its first peek inside the business this weekend.

The store — the only retail outlet for recreational cannabis in the area between Bremerton and Discovery Bay — had a grand opening Wednesday, June 24. On Tuesday, workers were still wrapping up efforts to remodel the 1,800-squarefoot space.

But on Saturday, while Disneyland may be the happiest place on earth, the new store at 8040 Day Road might have been the happiest place on Bainbridge.

It was something that wasn’t lost on the store’s seven employees, including the one who greeted guests during the two-hour preview.

“She was just so blown away by how much people brightened up right when they walked in. I think we kind of surprised them, and we’re only about 80 percent decorated,” Kessler said.

“But we are pretty wellstocked,” he added quickly.

“We were a lot busier than we thought,” Hill added. “I think that the word of mouth kind of got out there.”

A new vibe Inside, Paper & Leaf has adopted a sort of art gallery/ record store vibe. Think open and accessible. For those 21 and over, of course.

“We designed this to feel like a gallery,” Kessler said.

Display cases made of recycled wood — each with different varieties of cannabis locked inside — grace the walls like works of art, though one wall is blank for TURN TO PIONEERS | A33

Wedding bells chime in Port Madison Dawn Elyse Ekern Bonker and Edward Elder III were pronounced man and wife on May 30, 2015

by Pastor David Sellers at Port Madison Lutheran Church.

The wedding took place on a lovely spring day and was blessed with the spirit of joy and happiness, portrayed by the groom and bride and highlighted by bagpiper Savannah Walker, who led the guest walk to the reception-dinner site, a trumpeter on the home’s Widow’s Walk calling guests to dinner, and the groom lighting the fuse of a British cannon following the ceremonial toasts.

Attendants include maid of honor Emily Johnson and bridesmaids Jessica Munk, Katie Bonker, Heather Vizcarra and Megan Gutierrez. The best man was Andrew Castellano and groomsmen included Jon Bonker, Joshua Gutierrez, Roger Lucero and David Chene.

The ceremony featured George Miladin, noted pianist, who provided an amazing prelude and performed “Cannon in D Major” for the processional. Brooke Willis, soprano, sang “Lord, Be My Shepherd” based on “O mio babbina caro” by Giacomo Puccini with words by family friend Bill Brehm.

The wedding was followed by a reception and dinner at the Bonker family home.

“I’m not the tallest,” he said. “And not the strongest, not even the most skilled player out there, but what has allowed me to excel and separate myself on the court and in the classroom has been my work ethic, my desire to succeed. We all have that ability to succeed at whatever we want, it’s up to us to go out and make it happen. Once you develop a passion or

desire, you should stop at nothing to achieve it,” Ram said.

Elisabeth Seigel

Seigel graduates magna cum laude Elisabeth Seigel has graduated with high honors from Gonzaga University.

She earned a bachelor’s of arts degree in music with magna cum laude honors.

Her recent graduation capped another semester of distinguished scholarship, as she was recently named to the President’s List for 2015.

The new graduate is the daughter of Ira and Kimberley Seigel of Bainbridge Island, and Lisa and David Theobald of Wexford, Pennsylvania.

The Bainbridge Public Library board of directors recently announced three winners of the 2015 Cynthia Lord Harrison Library Scholarship.

Carina Langstraat, Meredith Tummeti and Erika Miller were awarded the scholarship.

Established by Bainbridge Public Library in 2008 in honor of Cynthia “Cindy” Harrison, beloved former Bainbridge branch manager, the fund helps aspiring librarians further their professional careers.

Awardees must either volunteer or work for the Kitsap Regional Library and must be accepted or enrolled in an accredited, graduate-level library and information science program.

As a first-time winner, Langstraat, a volunteer at the Bainbridge Library, will receive a $1,000 scholarship.

“I’ve always thought of librarians as being superheroes: defenders of intellectual freedom, providers of powerful information, and passionate community builders,” Langstraat said.

“I’m grateful to the staff of the Bainbridge branch for their generous support and encouragement.

I plan to use this scholarship to offset my tuition costs,” she added.

Tummeti and Miller, as second-time awardees, will each receive a $500 scholarship.

“This is the first time in my life I am being educated while actually working in the same field, and it is a new and exciting experience for me,” Tummeti said.

“The things I learn on the job or during lessons seem to flow both ways, and it makes for a much more practical learning environment for me.

Being able to work parttime and attend school part-time, still allows me to parent my 5-year-old daughter and navigate life changes,” she said. “This scholarship helps me to realize all of these components.”

Man arrested after air pistol shooting A 32-year-old Bainbridge Island man was charged with second-degree assault last Thursday in Kitsap County District Court after he allegedly shot at a man with a high-powered air gun and hit him in the head during a dispute over an unpaid debt.

Patrick M. Barnes was arrested Wednesday in Poulsbo and booked into Kitsap County Jail on $50,000 bail.

According to court documents, police were called to the 1200 block of NW Finn Hill Road in Poulsbo just after 10:30 p.m.

Wednesday, June 10 and found a man standing next to a vehicle with 10 bullet holes in the windshield.

The man was upset and shaking and was bleeding from the left side of his head.

The man told police he had run into a man named Pat at the Walmart earlier, and Pat told the man he owed him money. The man then left for Finn Hill Road to fetch tools to fix a woman’s flat tire, and Pat followed him

on his skateboard.

The man said they then argued over money and Pat shot his BB gun at the man’s vehicle and then aimed the gun at his head and shot at the driver’s side of the windshield.

One bullet went through the windshield and grazed the top of the man’s head.

A deputy on patrol in the area found a man matching Pat’s description on Rasmussen Court.

The man, identified as Pat Barnes, told police he had been at Walmart and ran into a man who owed him $150 for work he had done for him.

After they went to a friend’s house, Barnes told police the man didn’t have the money but tried to give him an Umarex BB gun as payment.

Barnes said he argued with the man and said he didn’t want he gun, and that he put the gun on the roof of the vehicle.

He also said he noticed bullet holes in the windshield, and the man who owed him money tried to run him over, but he was able to get out of the way.

Barnes then allegedly said the man drove away and he decided to walk over to his ex-girlfriend’s house.

Police searched Barnes’ backpack and found an Umarex .177 air pistol, drug paraphernalia, needles and a heroin kit. The gun did not have any marks on it that looked like it had fallen off the top of a moving vehicle.

BAINBRIDGE PARKS

Owen’s Playground launches Phase Two The developers of Owen’s Playground have announced they are working toward the second phase of fundraising for a park intended to be used by children with disabilities.

The playground will be located in the island’s Rotary Park, where its founders hope to promote barrier-free play.

Since supporters launched the idea, the project raised $158,000 in 2014 for phase one.

Phase two will require $205,000, where $50,000 will go toward laying out smooth surfacing for both phases before June 30.

Smooth, safe and accessible surfaces throughout the playground will allow children who use mobility devices to fully experience the entire outdoor play area.

The playground is being built in honor of Owen Marshall, who passed away in 2013 at the age of 6 from complications associated with cerebral palsy.

His memorial funds and private family funds were donated as the seed money to kick-start the playground in his memory.

Now, supporters of the playground are looking for volunteers to take on a variety of roles during the second phase of

MARINA PROJECT

Winslow Wharf celebrates rebuild A year-long rebuilding project of Winslow Wharf Marina was completed earlier this month.

Marina slip owners and tenants were joined at Doc’s Marina Grill by construction workers from Marine Floats of Tacoma, electricians from DF Electric Incorporated and pile drivers from Carlson Construction who worked together to complete the new

marina ahead of schedule and under budget. Representatives from the local offices of Wells Fargo Bank were also welcomed at the celebration because of their funding of the project.

The 240-slip marina in Bainbridge Island’s Eagle Harbor had not been upgraded since construction of its initial sections in 1976, and the $5.9 million effort replaced crumbling concrete walks, rotting wooden supports and deteriorating creosote pilings with state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly steel pilings and partially open-grate composite docks.

The rebuilt marina is reportedly at least four times sturdier than the old one it replaced.

DOWNTOWN WINSLOW

Major face lift starts for Reading Room The Christian Science Reading Room on Winslow Way, owned and operated by the members of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Bainbridge Island, has been temporarily relocated to the Sunday school building while the reading room space is under construction.

The Reading Room opened in 1956 and has had minor updates since. The current scope of work includes a new roof, energy-efficient heating, air conditioning, electrical systems, windows and doors.

It is estimated that construction will take about three months.

The Reading Room’s temporary location in the Sunday school is open to everyone and the hours are from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and

after Sunday and Wednesday services in the church foyer.

The Christian Science Reading Room is a quiet, welcoming space for anyone to pray for healing solutions to problems of all kinds. It’s also a bookstore and library, stocked with the Bible and books on the Bible, including “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” the seminal work by the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy.

The Reading Room also carries music and inspirational CDs, Bible stories for children; weekly, monthly and quarterly Christian Science periodicals; and The Christian Science Monitor, an award-winning news magazine. Church members volunteer to staff the Reading Room.

The Reading Room— next to Town & Country Market — is known for its inspiring window displays, created monthly by church members.

Recently, when volunteers were moving boxes and preparing for construction, a woman and her daughter stopped by and said, “We hope you aren’t going away — we love your windows!”

While the space is under construction, the community can find inspiring messages posted on facebook.com/christiansciencebainbridgeisland.

First Church of Christ, Scientist, Bainbridge Island, located at High School Road and Madison Avenue, holds Sunday services and Sunday school at 11 a.m. and Wednesday testimony meetings at 7:30 p.m. Visitors are always welcome.

In Our Opinion

Play it safe this year

H

ere are some good reasons to enjoy a professional fireworks show this Fourth of July (and, in some cases, 3rd of July), instead of buying and lighting off fireworks.

One, fireworks were responsible for two deaths, 277 injuries, and more than 150 fires and $320,000 in property loss in Washington in 2014, according to the State Fire Marshal.

Two, 66 of those 277 injuries were caused by devices which are illegal to own or possess in Washington State.

Three, eight sparkler bomb devices caused six multiple-trauma injuries, and also resulted in two fires. These devices are considered “improvised explosive devices,” which are illegal to manufacture and possess. Injuries as a result of one of these devices included metal puncture wounds, burns, tearing of the hands, and trauma to the face, chest and legs.

Four, since warm weather began, conditions are warmer and drier in Kitsap than they were last year. “Moisture content in downed logs is 11 percent lower than it was at this time last year,” according to county Fire Marshal David Lynam. “We are as dry now as we usually are at the end of July.”

Heat, dry conditions and fireworks don’t mix. Here’s what we recommend: Sit back, relax and enjoy a professional fireworks show that is sure to “wow” you more than any firecracker, bottle rocket or missile you would buy (which are illegal, by the way).

Letters In response

Improved education can help reduce racism To the editor: Inspired by a letter (several weeks ago) from a family who has been feeling the pains of racism in our community, I want to thank Christine Rolfes for co-sponsoring Senate Bill 5433, which makes the wonderful curriculum “Since Time Immemorial: Tribal Sovereignty in Washington State,” developed by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and Native Nations of Washington, mandatory in our children’s education.

This new direction in Washington state history will provide a foundation of understanding between people of different cultures. Our children will understand sovereignty and the authority of the Native Nations, they will carry with them lessons about humanity. For native youth, it will be empowering.

For me this has special meaning as we have been working for years to eliminate the institutionalized racism presented under the section on Native American history in our required textbook on Washington state history.

As we were working to remove the required text from our schools, little did we know that Christine Rolfes was working to establish the curriculum in our schools, developed by the Tribes, that gives our children a true understanding of native culture and native history. Education is a

very important tool as we work to eliminate racism and stereotypes in our community and we all have a lot to learn (no matter how old we are).

Thank you Christine and all of the sponsors of 5433 for working to create an educational journey bound to the ideology of respect. One that teaches the beauty of diversity and one that is empowering not only to the tribes but all of our children. The real trick is that we are dependent on our schools to harbor that lesson.

Yes - let’s keep continuing the conversation at the dinner table.

ANDY ROVELSTAD Community Works PNW

It’s time to restrict July 4th fireworks sales To the editor: With forest fires now raging across the West and forecasts of higher temps going forward, are we really going to allow fireworks?

Having fought fires caused by fireworks and seen such loss, I feel that it’s time to restrict all fireworks displays to be handled only by pyrotechnic professionals and fired over the Sound and not over tinder dry grasses, homes and forests. Terrified animals are also victims of fireworks.

The millions of dollars spent each year on fireworks could be better spent toward our heroic veterans and their families and not blown up in smoke. Perhaps quiet meditation and thanks for all the brave lives lost for our freedom rather than “the bombs bursting in air.”

Let’s have a voluntary quiet Fourth of July To the editor: I live near the ferry terminal and the “popping” noises associated with the Fourth of July have already started, daytime and nighttime.

I have a dog with extremely sensitive hearing and she becomes stressed, nervous, anxious and often inconsolable with the “pops.”

I am inviting residents of Bainbridge Island to consider voluntarily refraining from setting off private noisemakers at any time.

Perhaps for 2016, our city council could consider making our island a noise-free zone. Last year I saw yard signs asking people to be considerate of their use of private firecrackers out of respect for veterans who lived in their neighborhoods.

Thank you for your consideration.

Dump consultants from out of state To the editor: I hope that I am only one of the more than 20,000 people who live on the island that is offended by the fact that an out-of-state firm was hired to create a logo for our island.

We have an entire community of artists who live here, offer their services and many times volunteer those services to better our understanding and participation in the arts.

Forget the axes, the logo offered up is boring and in no way telling of our community. I understand the need of some simplicity in order for it to be used for letterhead, signage, etc. I am not an artist by any sense of my imagination, but I am sure that I could come up with something that represents Bainbridge Island far better than what was presented.

Dump the consultants, open it up to public offerings and let us choose from our local artists what best represents us.

Oh, and the $22,500; it goes to a deserving local community member and generates sustainability at home.

City of Bainbridge Island, what were you thinking?

PENNI MARTIN Bainbridge Island

We don’t need more commerce To the editor: Once again, the specter of “economic development” raises its ugly head (“City looks for new logo,” June 5).

A major reason Bainbridge Island is an attractive place to live is the relatively limited commerce and industry that exists here. With two supermarkets, three pharmacies, two gas stations and adequate professional services, residents are adequately served by those existing enterprises.

More commerce and industry means more congestion and more demand for public services — law enforcement, firefighting, judicial and penal systems, all at increased costs to taxpayers. We don’t need more commerce and industry.

Economic development will come in response to consumer needs expressed through the marketplace.

Let’s just not burden our-

selves with arbitrary additional costs by encouraging development beyond that natural growing consumer demand.

DONALD MARSH AND TAKAKO SATOH Bainbridge Island

The Jenner switch: Divided we stand To the editor: This is the last straw! After seeing nothing Bruce/Caitlin Jenner in the media this past week and seeing cheesecake shots of him/her, I’ve cleaned up the floor and decided that we should withdraw from the union. Please join me in creating 13 sovereign states here on the “rock.”

For starters, I suggest: Crystal Springs, Lynwood Center, Fort Ward, Port Blakely, Eagledale, Winslow, Rolling Bay, Port Madison, West Port Madison, Sebold, Manzanita Bay, Island Center and Fletcher Bay. Anyone who wants to join us later can create territories and apply for statehood.

Maybe we can then begin to restore some sanity. Give me Liberty, or Give Me Death!

(If that one is already taken, then something similar.)

CHUCK MACLEARNSBERRY Bainbridge Island

Dock is an accident waiting to happen To the editor: I rowed to the Boater’s Fair, witnessed an exciting helicopter rescue, toured a fire and rescue vessel and visited various booths at Waterfront Park.

I was drawn to the event as a boater, curious about the designs for the park and the opportunity to discuss the future plans for the city dock with our council members.

Perhaps I read it wrong, but I did not see anything about the city’s plans to improve the dock and there were no council members there.

There were, however, beautiful renderings of the proposed park improvements; a terraced handicap compliant landscape with an elaborate drainage system complete with a seasonal stream, an architecturally pleasing rowing storage building with an event rental area above as well as performance/viewing platforms.

The money for the improved park is from a settlement with the WSF that for years was fought for by

our dedicated residents to compensate the island for the loss of a boatyard and was intended for a water-related use. I attended focus groups and spoke at council meetings that unfortunately pitted park improvements against dock improvements — our city dock lost. The council vowed to find the funds for the dock, but as I understand there is not enough money left from the $2 million settlement for all that is planned for the park.

As long as I have been a voter I have supported our parks, but the city dock is a hazard, not handicap compliant, does not represent our “island’s gateway” or meet the needs of our community.

I tied my skiff to the crowded dingy area during the Boater’s Fair and was forced to disembark from the bow — so much for safe boating practices! I was pleasantly assisted back into my skiff by a young man with apparent learning challenges, but an experienced boater nonetheless that recognized the complexity of the situation.

The council cited the lengthy DNR process as reason to give priority and move forward with the park, but as I understand, the Eagle Harbor Marina was able to make repairs to its dock prior to approval based on necessity.

Our derelict, non-compliant city dock is an accident waiting to happen. If someone were injured then who is liable — the city or the state?

ERIN LEADER Bainbridge Island

City ignores input of beach residents To the editor: Those of us who live on Manitou Beach are disgruntled, to say the least, that the city of Bainbridge Island, without ANY input from those of us who LIVE here, have decided to put a park near Murden Cove. We only learned of it by reading an article in the Bainbridge Review newspaper.

Murden Cove, according to the Kitsap County Environmental Health Board, is already environmentally compromised. Why would the city want to put a park on a stretch of beach that is in need of less human impact, not more?

I’ll tell you why: Because they are not thinking about the environment (except when it comes to the Shoreline Management Program, which is another catastrophic plan, infringing upon property owners’ rights) and because they do whatever they darn well please, these days, with no concern for the residents who elected them.

A park here, at the cost of $54K-65K dollars, is going to be a disaster. Every week, I pick up bags full of garbage, left by people using our beaches and leaving their trash. Many of us see people running their dogs on the beach and rarely do we witness them cleaning up their waste. None of us wants to have to “patrol” our beach, to keep people from digging clams, etc.

Page A9

The property owners own 140 feet beyond the low tide line, which is, basically, the whole beach. None of us want to have to “police” our beach, but that is exactly what we will have to do.

Many times, I have had to tell people that this is not a public beach, and to not dig clams here. It’s just plain wrong to build a park, where the shoreline is owned by the people, not the city. Lord knows, the taxes we pay are reason enough to be upset by this!

What I really don’t understand, is Fay Bainbridge Park, which is a long, sandy beach park, and has all necessary facilities (including bathrooms, which this park won’t have) is a 5-minute drive from here. Fay Bainbridge Park is in desperate need of upkeep and maintenance, which could (and should) be paid for with the money that has been set aside for this park on Manitou Beach, that none of the residents (that pay huge money for property taxes, by the way) want. This is not to enrich our neighborhood, or better the ecology of the Murden Cove watershed, if anything, the impact will be a negative one.

If we don’t stop the city from just building parks, without any input from we the people, that give access to private beaches, what is next?

Just ask yourself this: How would you like it, if the city designated a street end next to your home, a park, and people were walking through your yard at all hours of the day and night, using your property as their own, and

leaving their trash and dog waste for you to clean up?

I seriously doubt you would be in favor of that.

All of us on Manitou Beach feel like it’s an invasion of our privacy, because the beach is our front yard.

MEGAN ROSS Manitou Beach

Windermere workers were great To the editor: Thank you Windermere from the staff AND volunteers at Helpline’s Clothing Works.

Thanks to the support of Windermere’s Community Service Day, four agents showed up and gave more than 16 hours total to the deep cleaning of the walls, rafters, behind racks and the dusty shelves of the Clothing Works Barn at Helpline.

The next day, the rest of Helpline’s volunteers walked into a sparkling clean barn to sort through incoming donations and assist those in need.

On behalf of our volunteers, staff and clients at Helpline House, I would like to personally thank the four Windermere agents who gave their time and energy, and we are grateful to them for exemplifying our mission of Neighbor Helping Neighbor — One Neighbor at a Time.

Love food that loves you back Bainbridge nutritionist and author teaches how food heals

BY SERAINE PAGE

Bainbridge Island Review

Food can heal a person. Maybe even better than some medicines.

Skeptics may not think so, but Bainbridge Island resident Jennifer Adler isn’t a cynic. In fact, she’s a clinical nutritionist with a thriving business, Passionate Nutrition, based on the idea that food can be used as a type of medicine.

She believes in that philosophy so much that she’s written “Passionate Nutrition: A Guide to Using Food as Medicine from a Nutritionist Who Healed Herself from the Inside Out” — a book that’s part healthy eating guide intertwined with her own story of healing with food.

On July 11, Adler will be present at the Poulsbo Farmers Market to sell and sign her book for the public.

“It’s important for readers to understand that

while this is a book about diet; it’s not about dieting, restrictions, pills or supplements,” Adler said.

“Instead, it’s about gaining self-respect, self-confidence and knowledge through healthy food choices. I share my own very personal story to give others hope that anyone is capable of transformation and that we can use food to heal ourselves in positive and remarkable ways.”

The return of the brothers behind The Blasters Dave and Phil Alvin to tackle Lynwood’s Treehouse Café

BY LUCIANO MARANO Bainbridge Island Review

Image courtesy of Treehouse Café

California-born brothers Dave and Phil Alvin, founders of legendary American music pioneering group The Blasters, recently reunited to produce their first album in nearly 30 years: “Common Ground: Dave & Phil Alvin Play and Sing the Songs of Big Bill Broonzy.”

The rock ‘n’ roll veterans will perform with The Guilty Ones at the Treehouse Café in Lynwood.

The roar of a crowded stadium, tires squealing on slick blacktop, the pop of a celebratory champagne cork or the resounding boom of fireworks — what does America sound like?

America sounds like the Alvin brothers.

Dave and Phil Alvin are perhaps best known as the founders of the indisputably seminal early Los Angeles punk roots band The Blasters. Founded in 1979, the group made famous what they called “American Music,” a raucous original blend of genres including blues, rock ‘n’ roll, punk, rhythm and blues and rockabilly, over the course

of four albums in the early ‘80s before Dave — the group’s primary tunesmith — left the group.

Though The Blasters continued on with slight lineup changes through to today, the Alvin brothers collaborations were sporadic. They came together to record songs for the 2013 soundtrack to “The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County,” a musical written by Stephen King and John Mellencamp, featuring songs by Elvis Costello, Taj Mahal and Kris Kistofferson, produced by T Bone Burnett.

They also sang a duet for Dave’s last Yep Roc release, “Eleven Eleven.”

Then, just last year, the brothers reunited for their newly acclaimed collaboration, “Common Ground: Dave Alvin & Phil Alvin Play and Sing the Songs of Big Bill Broonzy,” their first full album together in almost 30 years.

BAINBRIDGE’S BIG EVENT IS SATURDAY

Rummage sale ready for pickers

BY SERAINE PAGE

Bainbridge Island Review

Imagine the largest garage sale possible with piles upon piles of treasures stacked as high as 5 feet tall.

If that seems impossible, then stop by the 54th Bainbridge Island Rotary Auction & Rummage Sale from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday, June 27 for solid proof. Aside from buyers finding great savings, all proceeds go right back to the community, too.

“We want to raise as much money as we can,” said Tom McCloskey, Bainbridge Island Rotary Auction & Rummage Sale auction chairman. “There are many organizations on the island and beyond that depend on us for funds.”

Last year’s sale set an all-time new record high at $466,793 in sales. This year, the hope of Rotarians is to break the record again and generate even more sales.

“It’s an incredible community event, that’s the thing I enjoy the most. It’s an honor to do this job,” McCloskey said.

With more than 1,000 volunteers helping out, McCloskey estimates the there will be 150,000 to 200,000 items on sale at this year’s event.

But, he can’t say that for certain, since some items are as small as thimbles and others as large as cars.

thing, raffle opportunities abound for non-shoppers.

In all, 2,500 raffle tickets will be sold for $10 a piece this year. Prizes are $100 cash, $1,000 cash or $2,000 in cash. There will also be a chance to win a $500 shopping spree at Town & Country Market.

Tickets can be purchased until the last one is sold out.

Winners do not have to be present to win.

To make the event happen, volunteers take on the massive task of accepting donations, checking each one for sale validity, organizing and pricing each item before the day of the sale.

On the first day, 300 cars pulled up to the curb to drop-off items, said Taylor Fladgard, a third-year on-site volunteer.

“It looked like a war zone,” Fladgard said of the first day’s donations. “It’s a weeklong Goodwill on steroids.”

Volunteers of all ages shuffled about the campus moving items in shopping carts to the proper sections throughout much of the

week. Many high school students spent the week inspecting items while racking up volunteer hours for various organizations.

Bainbridge High School sophomores Skye Clark and Ruby Bos chose to spend the early days of summer vacation volunteering. The hours earned will go toward their required National Honor Society member volunteer hours.

Skye, 15, has volunteered for the sale over the last few years, she said. Before she volunteered, she went to the day sale and remembered it being “so crazy and hectic.”

With all the items she’s seeing donated this year, she anticipates it will be much of the same madness.

For her personally, donating hours of time volunteering for the Rotary event is her way of giving back to a club that has given to her over the years, she said.

Skye is involved in extracurricular clubs, many of which have been impacted by the generosity of the Rotary. She said more than one of the clubs she is in have received new flooring from the club because of Rotarian fundraising efforts.

More A&E GUILTY The legendary bluesman had been a major influence on the brothers’ early musical works and style.

Now, the Treehouse Café, Lynwood’s own premiere live music venue, will host Dave Alvin and Phil Alvin with The Guilty Ones for a special onenight-only concert event at 8 p.m. Thursday, July 2.

Eddie Williams, a former radio DJ, music director for KROQ-FM in Los Angeles and the Treehouse Café’s original lead booking agent, said the show is sure to be one of the venue’s best ever.

He knew the Alvin brothers back in L.A., Williams said, and had long hoped to get them to play on Bainbridge.

“I tried to get them once but it didn’t work out,” he explained. Then, this year, things came together.

“At first it was just Dave Alvin and his band, and then we just found out a couple of weeks ago that Phil is going to be on the tour,” he said. “We really lucked out.”

In the brothers’ original group, The Blasters, it was Phil’s voice, Williams said, “that was the signature lead.”

They were making, he said, “this amazing American music at a time when we had Black Flag and Suicidal Tendencies and the Dead Kennedys, and they stood out and they still had that punk energy, yet they were doing this really fine, extremely authentic, music with that sort of mid ’80s punk edge.

“There was nothing else going on like it,” he added.

The story involves a young girl, her beloved aunt and the alluring visitor who changes the course of their destiny forever.

Best-selling author Cassella, author of “Oxygen,” “Healer” and “Gemini,” will join Barrows on stage in a conversation about the book, characters, writing and the research behind this Depression-era novel.

Sarai Walker, author of “Dietland,” will visit Eagle Harbor Book Company in downtown Winslow at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 28.

Or mocked. Or worse.

With her job answering fan mail for a popular teen girls’ magazine, she is biding her time until her weight-loss surgery. Only then, she believes, can her true life as a thin person finally begin.

Then, when a mysterious woman starts following her, Kettle finds herself falling down a rabbit hole and into an underground community of women who live life on their own terms. There, Kettle agrees to a series of challenges that force her to deal with her past, her doubts and the real costs of becoming “beautiful.”

At the same time, a dangerous guerrilla group called “Jennifer” begins to terrorize a world that mistreats women, and as Kettle grapples with her personal struggles, she becomes entangled in a sinister plot with explosive consequences.

“Sarai Walker is an immensely talented writer and her debut novel, ‘Dietland’ — filled with wit, wisdom and wonder — is a pleasure,” said Jill McCorkle, author of “Life After Life.”

As part of its 20th anniversary season, a retrospective of favorite productions from past years, Island Theatre will present a staged reading of the award-winning 2007 drama “Blackbird,” written

by David Harrower, at 7:30 p.m. on both Saturday, June 27, and Sunday, June 28 at Rolling Bay Hall.

Performances are free, with at-door donations welcome.

In the play, two people who once had an intense relationship meet again 15 years later.

Guilt, rage and raw emotions run high as they recollect their shared past, which landed Ray in jail and left Una psychologically crippled. Ray, after years in prison and subsequent hardships, has a new identity and has made a new life for himself. Una is haunted by the past, and on spotting a photo of Ray in a magazine, sets out to find him.

What transpires next is a series of chilling twists and turns as details of their past begin to unravel.

This intense 90-minute one-act by Scottish playwright Harrower explores, without moral judgment, the blurry line between passion and perversion, love and abuse.

It was awarded the 2006 Critics’ Awards for Theatre in Scotland for Best New Play and the 2007 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play.

Bainbridge Cinemas to screen noir classic Hollywood legend Billy Wilder set the noir bar pretty high with the low deeds of Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck in the classic crime flick “Double Indemnity” (1944).

In the film, MacMurray is an insurance representative who lets himself get talked into a murder and insurance fraud scheme by an equally sultry and greedy housewife (Stanwyck), which inevitably arouses the suspicions of an insurance investigator (Edward G. Robinson).

The movie was immediately praised by critics and eventually nominated for seven Academy Awards and — though it did not win any — was, in 1998, ranked No. 38 on the American Film Institute’s list of the “100 best American films of the 20th Century.”

Double Indemnity will screen twice as part of a two-day-only special event partnership with Turner Classic Movies at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 19 and at 7 p.m. Monday, July 20.

BPA THEATRE SCHOOL

Adult Audition Workshop coming The Bainbridge Performing Arts Theatre School will host two special audition workshops for adults from 6 to 8 p.m.

Wednesday, July 1 and July 8.

The workshops are strategically designed to help actors prepare for BPA’s Combined Mainstage Summer Auditions, which are slated for July 20 and 28.

Participating students will receive individualized coaching on audition material and presentation from BPA’s resident musical director Josh Anderson and director of education Zandi Carlson.

The workshop is held in two segments, with Part I on July 1 and Part II on July 8.

Students may sign up for Part I or Part II individually, or for both classes for a more well-rounded audition preparation experience.

In Part 1, both instructors will give each participant a tailored 10-minute individual consultation to assess their strongest choice for presentation at BPA’s Combined Mainstage Summer Auditions. They will help select a 32-bar cut of a song and a short monologue that showcases each actor to the very best of their abilities and they will ensure that these selections are the ideal fit for the shows for which each actor is auditioning.

In Part 2, students will present their prepared audition material and receive feedback from the instructors, both of whom will guide students through a crucial set of

auditioning skills including how to best present yourself as you walk into the room and how to communicate with the accompanist as well as additional ways to connect with your material — even with audition jitters.

Tuition is $35 per session for students who sign up for one class.

Students who sign up for both classes will receive a discounted tuition rate of $50. Instructors will contact each participating student prior to their initial session to gather information to help facilitate a customized consultation.

Students are highly encouraged to bring possible songs and/or monologues in for an assessment of which option is most effective.

WHERE’S WALDO?

Search begins in downtown Winslow Where’s Waldo?

In downtown Winslow on Bainbridge Island, of course.

The famously elusive children’s book character in the striped shirt and black-rimmed specs is visiting 25 different local businesses/institutions

throughout the community in July.

Those who spot him can win prizes, including buttons, book coupons and more.

From the Bainbridge Public Library to Pretty Stick, from Winslow Drug to The Traveler, Waldo figures will be well-hidden in local business establishments. Organizers of the hunt said Find Waldo Local is a great summer vacation activity and a wonderful way for residents to support local business and the national shop local movement.

Anyone who wishes to

participate can pick up a “Find Waldo Local on Bainbridge Island!” passport at Eagle Harbor Book Company, with the names of all the participating sites and get their passport stamped or signed for each Waldo they spot.

The first 125 Waldo seekers to get their passports stamped or signed at 10 or more sites can bring their passports to Eagle Harbor Book Company to collect prizes.

Collecting store stamps or signatures at 20 or more businesses will entitle diligent seekers entry into a grand prize drawing on July 31, with the top prize being a six-volume deluxe set of Waldo books.

“Where’s Waldo” is the creation of Martin Handford, whose entertaining drawings of crowd scenes swept the world in the late ‘80s.

Since then, the “Where’s Waldo” books have held a cherished spot on bookstore shelves the world over. There are now over 63 million Waldo books in print worldwide and they’ve been translated into over 30 languages.

Kitsap County More A&E Prosecutor’s HAPPENING Office

W

hen people hear “Prosecutor’s Office” the words that inevitably come to mind are “crime,” “defendants,” “punishment,” and “jail.” While these are all on point, the role of a prosecutor’s office also includes empathy and compassion.

These are two core values the Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Office strives to embody as we assist victims of domestic violence through the court process. How does an office historically based on cold, hard justice manage to maintain such idyllic values? Like most, if not all, other prosecutors’ offices throughout the country, we work to achieve those values through partnerships, education and awareness.

Our prosecutors and staff work very closely with the domestic violence advocates at the YWCA of Kitsap County. Through our long developed relationships and partnerships with the YWCA and other community based organizations, we are able to enhance our understanding of the dynamics of domestic violence cases. By enhancing our understanding, we are more equipped to achieve the goal of interrupting the cycle of domestic violence and prevent future incidents.

To do this, we work to empower victims by guiding them through the intricacies of the judicial system and link them with necessary resources from community based organizations. Partnering with qualified advocacy agencies such as the YWCA gives us confidence that victims will receive the long-term support they need to live safe, healthy and productive lives.

Partnerships on a statewide level are important as well.

We support the efforts of the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence and urge you to register today for the Goodwill Refuse to Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

LOVE CONTINUED FROM A10

As an adult, she knew something needed to change.

She held onto the hope that she might one day feel better. Slowly, she changed her diet.

Despite years of malnutrition, Adler figured out early on that food could heal her debilitating health issues, including constant digestive problems. Traveling the world, experimenting with spices, herbs and exotic foods helped her discover how quality food could leave her feeling revitalized instead of pained.

After college, she tried food healing with her mother who had been diagnosed with cancer. To Adler, it seemed the healthier fare helped lift her mother’s energy. Unfortunately, her mother ended up in the hospital again, which became a turning point in Adler’s own health conscious.

al national jazz awards including “Outstanding Soloist” at the Lionel Hampton festival.

Vanderbilt-Mathews will perform on both the clarinet and saxophone in the free Winslow concert.

The set list will include swing standards, traditional Gypsy melodies and the music of legendary jazz man Django Reinhardt.

According to Sciacca, Vanderbilt-Mathews’ improvisations will “challenge and inspire” the band’s regular soloists on violin and guitar.

The concert will run from 7 to 9 p.m.

Admission is free, but the band will collect donations.

local favorite tunesmiths Ranger and the Re-Arrangers host a free concert featuring special guest Eric VanderbiltMathews.

“Winslow Green is a great spot—we can have an outdoor concert on the lawn, but we’ll still be right in town,” said bandleader Ranger Sciacca. “We’re excited to bring Eric’s incredible playing to this unique Island setting.”

According to Sciacca, Vanderbilt-Mathews has been electrifying audiences at the after hours jams of Djangofest Northwest, drawing attention even at the biggest Gypsy jazz event in America.

Over the past few years, he has won sever-

A new beginning When the hospital meal tray came, Adler could barely hold back her disgust with the food being served to patients in what should have been “a place of healing,” she said.

Her mom told her to do something about it.

That comment from her mother led Adler to becoming a nutritionist and healing Adler’s own ailments that scarred her life since childhood. Looking at her now, most people wouldn’t guess she is 40. The glowing skin, thick hair and bright eyes are all results from a diet her childhood self wouldn’t recognize.

Even through her current difficult pregnancy, Adler has learned to listen to her body’s cues for what she can and cannot eat. Before health issues arose, she planned on doing a large book tour. For her well-being, she’s limited herself to local events and bookstore talks, but continues to get the word out that health should come first in any part of one’s life.

“It’s just about staying healthy,” she said of her current strict diet.

Her journey into a healthy

lifestyle came after a long and bumpy road inflicted with pain and suffering. The final resolution between her and a publisher to tell her story made her uneasy at first.

Sharing her past Revealing her past turned out to be the hardest part of the creative process.

The details of her life were so personal that even her closest friends didn’t know about her secrets prior to the opportunity for Adler to write a book. She let them know beforehand and said she was greeted with support and concern.

“It felt so scary. I felt really afraid,” she said of the book’s release. “I wanted it to come across as hopeful and not sensationalized.”

But she found that highlighting her personal flaws and background made readers feel the human connection. Since the book’s December release — right in time for New Year’s resolutions — readers have contacted her with positive feedback on how her story changed their perspective on life.

“It means so much to me when people tell me how it impacts them,” she said. “It’s

very gratifying.”

Adler said she created the outline of the book and chapters shaped around the way she would coach a client at one of her 20-plus offices. To her, it seemed like the best way to reach a reader who may not be able to come into her office directly, like the Texas residents who have been purchasing her books rapidly since its release, she said.

In the end, she wanted her readers to understand how to approach food without fear.

“In the U.S., there’s so much confusion with food.

Labels are super confusing,” she said, remarking on the marketing techniques of huge food corporations.

On eating real food When it comes down to it, Adler recommends eating what our ancestors would have eaten 100 years ago, something she calls “The 100-Year-Diet.” Essentially, it is eating foods where ingredient lists are pronounceable and not chemically processed. Her clients find that once their bodies are balanced with the proper nutrients, listening to natural cues is second nature, she writes in her book.

“It’s just a foundational thing that people can do,” she said of the lifestyle change.

Above all, when readers get to the end of the book, Adler said she hopes they recognize that they can offer themselves grace when it comes to a relationship with food.

“I want them to have compassion for themselves just knowing they’re doing the best they can,” she said.

“Especially in our culture, there’s a lot of shame and beating ourselves up, especially over food.”

Whether her book changes one life or 100,000, the author said she hopes the average person comes to terms with being forgiving of themselves when they slip up.

She also wanted to show people what true wellness looks like when they stop and listen to innate body wisdom.

“Ultimately, nutrition is meeting people where they are; I feel like it is so individualized,” Adler said. “It’s not just about calories in, calories out. What we do once in a while won’t affect us, but it’s our daily habits that do.

It’s more of our daily habits that add up.”

Friday, June 26, 2015 - Bainbridge Island Review

Why we Celebrate July 4th “Government is instituted to protect property of every [sort] violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest."

John Adams, 2nd United States President

1776. We declared independence to escape tyrannical and unfair government practices including seizure of property – a founding principle of our government.

The government of the City of Bainbridge Island (City Council) took property rights from every single shoreline property owner without due process with the new Shoreline Management Plan - unique to Bainbridge Island, Washington State and perhaps the entire country!

Think about it. How would you feel if there were severe and biased restrictions placed on your home - what you could build or rebuild? How would you feel knowing a stated purpose of the SMP is to phase out, over time, all non-conforming shoreline homes and the SMP says all existing homes are non-conforming! How would you feel if you were told you could not garden as you wished without approval from the City? How would you feel knowing that the City can now limit and control your viewscape? How would you feel if you violated new rules and restrictions - over 400 pages of them - and if you violated any of them you would be fined and or imprisoned? How do you feel about our City never informing the affected public about the consequences of these rules and restrictions as they do for a simple building permit? And what will you do when a Bainbridge Code Enforcement Officer knocks at your door to deliver a “Cease and Desist Order” and/or punitive $500 - $1,000 fine and/or court summons for these “violations”?

Sound too ridiculous to be true? It’s not. It is now Bainbridge Island law.

Become informed. Help us help you to legally fight for your property rights and reform this new unbalanced law. If you really knew and understood what is behind this new legislation, how and why it was drafted and by whom – you would ask…

“Could this happen to me and my home?” Indeed it could… And it will.

Ometepe’s silent shutterbugs

Photography project gathers scenes by sister island’s deaf children

BY LUCIANO MARANO Bainbridge Island Review

Jonathan Diaz has no idea what waves sound like, or a horse, for that matter, but the surrealistic beauty of his image “Horse in Lake” is undeniable, and shows a definite awareness of and connection to the elegance of the world around him.

Despite being deaf, the young photographer clearly doesn’t miss much.

Diaz is just one of a group of deaf chil-

dren living on Bainbridge’s sister island Ometepe in Nicaragua whose work will be featured in the special upcoming exhibition “Our Silent World,” opening Saturday, July 4 at the senior center in downtown Winslow.

In January of this year, a delegation of 11 people from the Bainbridge Ometepe Sister Islands Association visited to initiate a photography project jointly sponsored by the Bainbridge Island Photo Club in which the children were

instructed in the basic use of a camera and then asked to “tell us about your life, show us your family and friends, your animals, plants and flowers and the beauty of your island,” explained BOSIA’s chair of special needs committee Dale Spoor.

CHILDREN CONTINUED FROM A25

In Nicaragua, Spoor explained, the government provides no special teachers or school programs for deaf children. For that reason, very few of them attend school. In addition, aside from the workshops that the sister island program has provided for a number of years, many of the children on Ometepe have limited access to even basic Nicaraguan Sign Language instructional material.

This project, he said, was designed to provide these children the opportunity to express themselves creatively to the hearing and deaf communities on both islands.

Members of the delegation brought 15 new digital cameras donated by members of the photo club and loaned them to the children, Spoor said.

They met with the children and a family member on a Saturday morning at a local school. The excitement in the room was evident, he added, as each child received a colorful bag sewn by members of the Bainbridge Artists’ Resource Network. Inside each bag was a camera, bat-

At the workshop, with the assistance of a local Nicaraguan Sign Language interpreter, the delegates explained the project and taught the children how to use the cameras.

Then, it was game on.

The children returned to their local communities to take photos for a week, Spoor said. Delegates visited some of them during the week to share photos and to help them learn a little more about some basic principles of photography.

At then end of the week, the photos were downloaded and the delegation returned

to Bainbridge. Before departing, the delegation delivered prints of the five photos by each child that they had selected as their favorites.

Now, members of the photo club here have prepared a set of 30 of the best photos (two from each child: one of the child’s five favorites and the other selected by members of the photo club), which will be exhibited both on Bainbridge and in Nicaragua.

The first showing of the exhibition will be at the senior center on Saturday, July 4.

When the exhibitions are over, the prints will be returned to the children to keep, Spoor said.

Pacific Fusion Martial Arts opens Bainbridge Island dojo

BY LUCIANO MARANO Bainbridge Island Review

If a loud “Hi-yah!” suddenly rings out over the Coppertop Loop Business Park — followed by the sounds of punching or kicking, and then maybe of a body hitting the ground — islanders are less concerned these days than they might have once been.

It is just a ninja battle, after all.

The scene of the sound-originating scuffle is the newly opened Pacific Fusion Martial Arts dojo (9723 Coppertop Loop, Suite 204), the latest location for the school, which has been introducing young students to martial arts in various venues around the Pacific Northwest for more than 15 years.

Lead by master and head instructor Stephanie Aduddell, a fourth degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and second in Moo Duk Kwan, the program blends fighting styles from the Pacific countries of Japan, Korea, China and the Philippines.

Core group classes, organized by the age and skill level of the students, are a mixture of the Japanese and Korean hard style martial arts of Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and HapKiDo, with basic weapons and selfdefense courses included as well.

Aduddell explained that she and her husband — also a high ranking martial

Stephanie Aduddell, master and head instructor at Pacific Fusion Martial Arts, leads a Teen Beginner class earlier this week. Aduddell’s youth-oriented program, which recently opened in a new location on Bainbridge, blends fighting styles from the Pacific countries of Japan, Korea, China and the Philippines. Core group classes are a mixture of Japanese and Korean hard style martial arts of Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and HapKiDo, with basic weapons and self-defense courses included as well.

arts instructor — moved to Bainbridge nearly three years ago, seeking to enroll their daughter Lillian in one of the island’s renowned schools. She has been commuting ever since to maintain operation of her Tacoma dojo, where she still teaches two or three days a week. However, in meeting other island parents and getting a feel for the available fitness options, Aduddell said she was encouraged to bring her beloved discipline to Bainbridge. Eventually, she intends to close or turn over ownership of the Tacoma location, and focus entirely on the Bainbridge school, as her current students down south grow out of the program.

Pacific Fusion has always been primarily for children and teenagers, she said, and observing the myriad of ways in which involvement in the discipline of martial arts benefits young students is one of the most rewarding parts of her job as a teacher.

Student goals run the gamut, Aduddell said, from those looking for a fun way to lose weight or a new way to stay in shape for their primary sport in the off-season to those looking to move up in the discipline, achieve the next belt ranking and maybe someday compete or teach.

Mentally and emotionally, too, she added,

BAINBRIDGE - The Ice claimed a 9-6 win over perennial rivals The Commotion recently to bring home the Bainbridge Island Little League Softball Intermediate Championship.

The Ice and Commotion were no strangers to each other as they entered the contest.

Far from it, in fact.

Prior to the game, the teams faced each other six times during the season with each team winning three games.

The Commotion struck first. Solid singles in the first inning by Ruby Narte and Piper Grossberg, combined with defensive errors led to an early 3-0 Commotion lead.

The Ice manufactured a run in the bottom of the first when Kate Wikstrom walked, and subsequently stole bases without the benefit of a hit.

In the second inning, Wikstrom dominated on the mound setting down the side in order.

The Ice then narrowed the lead to 3-2 when Bella Boback led off the inning with a double, and eventually scored on Claire Hungerford’s ground out.

In the third, the Commotion pushed their lead to 5-2 when Sophia Rutherford and Sofia Peato scored after the second of three hits from Grossberg.

The Ice refused to be frozen out, and rallied in their bottom of the third.

After falling behind 1-2, Darby O’Hare coaxed a walk and stole second and third.

Then, with two outs, O’Hare scored on another Wikstrom hit. After Mia Alpaugh walked, both Wikstrom and Alpaugh scored on a solid double

by Samara Hutchins to tied the score at 5-5.

In the top of the fourth, Ice pitcher Kylie Bushnell shut down the Commotion in order.

Control problems struck the Commotion in the fourth. Bella Boback led off the bottom of the fourth with a walk, followed by walks to Tess Longoria, Hungerford and Samantha Boulware.

After Boback scored — giving the Ice their first lead of the evening — a close play at the plate went the Commotion’s way for the first out.

After a strike out, the Ice had the bases loaded with two outs and leadoff hitter Emma Greathouse up to bat. The third grader from Blakely promptly blasted a three run double that pushed the Ice lead to 9-5. Bushnell and Wikstrom then limited the Commotion to one run in the final two innings to prevail 9-6.

The Ice finished the season 15-4.

Island Old-Timers are (still) ready to play in July 4th game

BY LUCIANO MARANO Bainbridge Island Review

The players set to take the field in the 11th Stars & Stripes Old-Timers’ baseball game next week have logged an impressive cumulative count of home runs, pop flies and home plate slides, but they’ve perhaps never played a game more fun than the annual holiday weekend philanthropic throw down.

Set to begin at 9:30 a.m.

Saturday, July 4 again this year, the fundraising face-off pits mature island baseball players from all kinds of experience paths — including former Bainbridge High School and Little League players and coaches as well as collegiate players who reside here — against each other for a good cause.

All donations gathered from the attendees and sponsors will benefit the BHS baseball program.

The event has evolved a lot over the years, explained BHS Baseball Boosters spokesman Troy Niehaus, to become the holiday staple it is today.

“It’s a great mix of adults who get together and wear old-time uniforms,” he said.

“I started playing in the sec-

ond year of the event, played for five years and then took a break and umpired for a few years.”

Now, Niehaus said, he contributes from off the field, spreading awareness of the event and fostering partnerships with the numerous local businesses who sponsor it.

“We are a competitive program,” he said of the BHS squad, which took fourth in state this year. “We’ve had a great program over the years.”

There is a $5 suggested donation to attend the game, which will again be held at the BHS baseball field.

There’s no better time to celebrate the island community’s love of baseball than during the most patriotic weekend of the year, Niehaus said.

“The timing is perfect,” he added.

The BHS Baseball Boosters assist with various aspects of the team’s season, Niehaus said, including additional transportation to away games and their annual youth skills camp as well.

“The program depends on this event to help fund uniforms, equipment, transportation, and other items,”

The 11th annual Stars & Stripes Old-Timers’ baseball game will again be held at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, July 4. There is a $5 suggested donation to attend the game, which will again be held at the BHS baseball field.

All donations gathered from the attendees and sponsors benefit the BHS baseball program. he said.

“These year we were able to bus student fans to cheer on the varsity team at the district championship game versus O’Dea.” The BHS team defeated O’Dea in that matchup and eventually claimed the fourth-place trophy after

being bested first 11-6 at the state semifinal playoff game by eventual champion Mercer Island and then 6-4

by Central Kitsap.

The fourth place state trophy is the first in several years for the Spartans, who last brought home a second-place prize in 2009.

It was history in the making, according to team officials, as they were the first Bainbridge Island Rowing girls crew to earn a spot in the Grand (A) finals at Youth Nationals ever.

The girls in the boat were Samantha Dore, Jemma Blazina, Tica Drury, Alexina BoudreauxAllen and coxswain Chrina Munn.

For Lynn and Mark Schorn there’s no debate.

If they’ve got time on their hands, you’ll find them on the water in their kayaks.

“We live on Gamble Bay,” said Mark. “So, quite often, we just put our kayaks in the water by our house and kayak up to Port Gamble and back.

That’s about a 4-mile trip.”

For them, that’s an easy, enjoyable route. But the couple, who have been kayaking together for more than 20 years, also enjoys the rough routes, too.

They’ve done a six-week trip in the waters off southeast Alaska. In fact, for years they acted as guides and took other kayakers on trips near Vancouver Island, Canada and Alaska.

“Each year we’d take a family trip, too,” Mark said.

“We’d spend five days on the water, camping on the beaches and taking everything we needed with us in the boat.”

Actually, he said, kayak camping beats hiking and camping any day.

“When you hike, you have to carry everything on your back,” he said.

“With the kayak, you can pack all the weight in compartments in the front and rear of the boat.”

Most kayaks can carry 300 pounds, according to manufacturers.

For the Schorns, they’ll pack a tent, sleeping bags, camp stove and other necessities. And then, they’d go to local stores along their route to where they camp to buy fresh produce and other items.

Their enjoyment of kayaking comes mostly from what they see from their boats.

“The sea life you can see is just amazing,” said Lynn.

“We’ve seen starfish, orcas, gray whales and humpback whales in Alaska. We’ve also seen porpoises, sea lions and all kinds of birds including eagles.

“You’re right there on the water and seeing everything at eye level.

Just scanning the horizon, you see so much more than you do from land.”

“Being on the water also teaches kayakers about tides and currents. You get an expertise about your own marine world,” Lynn said.

And because it is quiet on the water, kayakers can enjoy the sounds of nature, she said.

Mark’s first trip in a kayak was in 1982 with a friend. He is originally from Minnesota.

“We went to Telegraph Cove in B.C.,” he said. “It was a magical trip. We saw whales.”

martial arts are powerfully effective in teaching kids confidence, discipline and responsibility in a fun and active way. “[It’s] martial arts,” Aduddell said. “There’s a ‘martial’ part and there’s an ‘art’ part. The martial part is the cadence of it and the respect and the traditional part and the honor — and the art part is all the creative [challenges] and the fun energy.”

Aduddell said that the individuality of martial arts makes it a great counterbalance for a young athlete looking for a different way to train for and improve in one of the more traditional team sports as well, as students are free to decide for themselves how deeply involved they want to become in the discipline.

“It’s pretty simple for me: Nobody in this building ever gets benched,” she said.

“This is not a team sport,

this is definitely an ‘I’ sport; it’s an individual journey.”

To that end, Aduddell said she has gone to great lengths to structure each class throughout the program as specifically as possible to the skills of the students, organized by both their age and experience.

“It’s very measurable,” she said of her program. “It gives them very set goals and standards. Most martial arts schools do not do this.

They do not teach on a rotating curriculum. They just teach to the belt rank and a lot of times they just put everybody into one bucket.”

Grouping every green belt in the program together, be they 4 or 44 years old, isn’t fair to any of the students, Aduddell insisted.

Instead, she structures her program around smaller groups of students who all have more in common.

“I divide everybody up based on rank [and] based on age,” she said. “So they get what they need in their particular grouping.”

Aduddell said she has begun training students as

perseverance throughout the weekend of racing, team officials said.

On the first day of racing, both the Boys and Girls Bainbridge Lightweight Fours placed second in their heats, securing spots in the semi-finals.

The girls raced under stormy skies, and after they crossed the finish line, rain, thunder, lightning and wind descended on the course, creating a severe weather “microburst” and causing officials to evacuate the venue and shut down races for the remainder of the day.

According to varsity girls Coach Barb Trafton, the crew was forced to quickly abandon their boat on the beach and found safe shelter in a nearby food truck.

BHS Seniors Schuyler Westerhout, Samantha Dore and Alexina Boudreaux-Allen participated in a personal and moving high school graduation ceremony at the regatta site sponsored by USRowing the night before racing began.

“We are proud of our BIR Nationals rowers who showed great com-

The intro session, she said, is an opportunity to visit the training area, move around on the floor with an instructor and learn some basics, and to see if martial arts is something that a student

From that point on, he was hooked. When he met Lynn in the late 1980s, she joined him on the water. Having grown up in Colorado, she was already a pro. She’d kayaked white-water rapids.

“That’s the only time I’ve flipped a kayak,” Lynn said.

Kayaking isn’t as expensive as some may think, they say. But before purchasing a kayak, they suggest renting one.

“Try different boats out,” said Mark. “See what you like and make sure it’s a sport you want to invest in.”

Typical equipment including a kayak, a paddle, a safety vest could run about $2,500. And if you add a rack to your car to carry a kayak, that can stretch the costs toward $5,000.

There are some maintenance costs annually, including cleaning your kayak.

Kayaks can weight from 50 to 70 pounds, depending on the material it’s made of.

Options include fiberglass, plastic, Kevlar and wood.

A kayak is described as a small, narrow boat primarily designed to be manually propelled by means of a double-bladed paddle. The word kayak originates from the Greenlandic Inuktitut

complimentary self defense workshop with the Girl Scouts,” she said. “I didn’t even know there was a patch they could earn, and it’s the self-defense patch.”

Finding a balance between being accessible to the modern youth and still maintaining the crucial traditions of martial arts has been a fine line to walk, Aduddell said. However, she believes the balance she has struck makes her program unique and more successful.

“I find that now, in 2015, you have to have a balance between the two,” she explained. “I always talk about the origin of the arts, the countries where they originate,” she said. “We do speak in both Korean and English and some Japanese.”

In some ways, though, Pacific Fusion is a little different.

“I’m not called by my traditional teaching title,” Aduddell added. “I’m just Mrs. A.” Not that her sometimes less formal tone affects business on the mat, she laughed.

“I bring every bit of who I am, body and soul, every time I teach.” language, where it is the word “qajaq.”

The Schorns also stress that there are trailers for kayaks that allow for loading and unloading by only one person. Hence, the sport is a good one for singles who want solitude on the water.

Some people prefer a double or tandem kayak where two people can paddle together. And there’s even a triple kayak, with a seat in the middle often used for couples with a child.

“We did that one year,” Lynn said. “We put our baby in the middle hatch and she just played.”

Now that baby, their daughter Tess, is 19 years old and works as a guide for kids who kayak.

The Schorns, who are physical therapists, are proud to live in an area that cherishes its waterways.

They’ve traveled a few of the trails in the Kitsap Water Trails, including Fort Flagler and Hood Head, and are pleased that it received a national distinction.

“It took a lot of time and effort to put it together,” Mark said. “It involves multiple cities and ports. It’s taken someone like John Kuntz who pushed a dream, even at a huge expense, to get this accomplished.”

Battle Point Park history has deep link to military

BY SERAINE PAGE

Bainbridge Island Review

Battle Point Park has a long and storied history.

But most of the approximately 400,000 residents who visit the park annually likely have no idea of the park’s significant role over the years. Like the fact that the entrance of the park has the same two pillars and fencing built during World War II to protect top secret clearance work being done by the Navy. Or that the building that now houses gymnastics classes once was a support building for the secretive military work.

According to Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District files on Battle Point Park, records claim its name came from the Indian battles that took place near the site.

That claim is also backed

by Hank Helm, executive director for the Bainbridge Island Historical Museum, who said the name came from a battle between

the Suquamish Tribe and Canadian Indians who clashed on Bainbridge Island in the 1900s.

“That’s what the story is,” said Helm. “Indians from Canada were coming down probably to steal women. A signal was sent [off Bainbridge] to let the Suquamish know they were coming.”

A battle ensued, and the very point of the park is where the battle took place, according to historians.

As much of the history of Kitsap County goes, the military took over the island during some of the most important historic chapters of our nation’s history. The Army built Fort Ward on Rich Passage to provide defenses for the already established Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, according to historical records.

“There was a big military presence during World War II,” Helm said.

Code breakers specifically

Editor’s note The Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

Each month, we will share a different story about the parks district with our readers.

A photo of Battle Point Park during World War II shows the transmission towers that made the installation a vital part of the nation’s defense. worked from Fort Ward in a secret area where messages from the fleet and Japanese were intercepted. Message content was then sent to Washington, D.C. for administrators to exam, he added.

When the threat of a second World War came in

the late 1930s, the Navy took over the fort and expanded it.

During that time, antenna fields to support the top-secret international radio listening station were built on what is now the 90-plus acres of Battle Point Park.

Historical documents indicate that as many as 40 men were based at the station at one time.

Throughout the war, radio communication and code schools were built and were used through the Korean War. Here on the island is where code operators learned of the Japanese government’s intention to bomb Pearl Harbor.

Allegedly, the code came through and was sent from Bainbridge to D.C. and sat on someone’s desk on the day of the bombing, Helm said. Official parks department now shows the government stamp of de-classified information regarding the tower and activities surrounding it.

In 1971, the base was declared surplus property and was purchased by the parks district. The 90-plus acres site became the property of the park district on May 5, 1972.

Part of the agreement required that the four radio towers on site be removed so the site could be used by the public.

Days before the towers were torn down, then-director Dennis McCurdy, assistant director Larry Burris and parks commissioner Fred Grimm climbed the tower one final time. It took the pair 90 minutes.

“They ate their lunch at the top,” Helm said with a laugh.

The climb down took a mere half hour.

What once was Bainbridge Island’s tallest landmark — an 800-foot-high steel transmitter tower — was considered by locals as a “terrible temptation to climb” and required the removal of the 311 tons of steel in 1972 before park construction could start. A contractor took down the towers with the promise that he could salvage the materials once finished.

Once removed, the 864th Fort Lewis Engineering Battalion brought its heavy equipment and expertise in to level the grounds as a training exercise while constructing paths and irrigation systems, roads, tennis court foundations, restrooms, parking lots and more.

By 1976, the project neared 30 percent completion and the Army volunteers saved the park district an estimated $100,000.

Even though the tower no longer exists today, the building where coders worked remains and is home to the Battle Point Astronomical Association and its telescope, a much beloved fixture in the park.

During 1973, a general election was held in November that required funds to implement a master park plan. That measure failed, but a special election scheduled for the following year passed with 76 percent approval.

John Rudolph of Bainbridge and Jones and Jones from Seattle were hired to develop the park’s master plan. The levy authorized just over $40,000 for development purposes. The state provided matching funds as well, according to Helm’s research.

Since the time the federal property turned public,

there’s been plenty of community support and use, said Perry Barrett, senior planner for the park district.

Grants, monetary donations and volunteer hours have all contributed to the park in some way, including a playground that opened in May 2001.

“It’s the largest active-use park,” Barrett said. “The trails are really popular and the trail connection has been happily pieced together over time to piece the island together.”

As far as design goes, Barrett said the park looks much like it did back in the day. The northern portions are “looser” and more open compared to the rest of the park with its open space, trails and pond. The southern field is flooded with activities scheduled by various sports organizations using the ballfields.

It’s all pretty much the same, minus the military presence and four towers that once dotted the property.

“It has not radically changed too greatly, in terms of general site design,” Barrett said.

As for the future, Barrett said potential plans may include adding a picnic shelter, a garden shed, a possible off-leash dog area and more.

The transmitter building, now used for gymnastics classes and camps, was recently renovated but still needs more work, Barrett said. Additionally, infrastructure upgrades, including restroom fix-ups, may also be a part of the park district’s comprehensive plan.

Even with many new parks being added to the island over the years, the support has been strong for more, Helm said.

It’s land like the acreage at Battle Point Park that makes park districts so successful, noted Helm.

“We need parks because parks are very important,” he said. “We all need parks.”

now because it actually will be used to hang art, in a rotating gallery with works

by Bainbridge and other Kitsap-area artists.

“The history of cannabis is going to be our first [exhibit],” Kessler said, and will trace the path of the plant from 8000 B.C. to the present day.

Hill said it was important for the shop to create a safe, friendly and welcoming ambiance; an environment that will help remove the stigma surrounding marijuana.

“We fully expect people to come in who haven’t tried the product in a long time and maybe just wanted to see what’s going on here.

Maybe they’re not going to buy anything, but at least they’re going to pop their neck in,” Hill said.

“I think we’ve achieved in making a light, airy, welcoming place,” he added.

Paper & Leaf is located just off Highway 305, and Hill and Kessler expect the store will capture passing traffic — after all, 6 million people board the Bainbridge ferry every year — and also bring in customers from the other side of Agate Passage.

“There’s a lot of people who are going down to Port Orchard and Bremerton now,” Hill said. “We’re thinking that we will probably get some of that traffic.”

A different approach The layout of the store is also something different, Kessler said.

“We want to be accessible to everyone in the way we are doing this store. We feel that we have a different model of store that doesn’t exist right now anywhere in Kitsap County,” he said.

Visitors to other retail outlets often find all of the product squirreled away behind a counter, with much of it unseen, with a line of customers waiting to speak to a single clerk behind the counter.

People feel pressured to make a decision on what to

Brian Kelly | Bainbridge Island Review

Paper & Leaf owners Steven Kessler and Brendan Hill stand together in their new store. buy quickly, Kessler said.

Not so at Paper & Leaf.

Just inside the store is 12-foot-long table made by Coyote Woodworks from the slab of an elm tree, which will serve as the “discovery zone” for people who can sit down with a sales associate, who can guide visitors via iPad through the different types of products available.

That includes offering advice on how uplifting one type of cannabis might be over another, or to explain the potency of the product, or its prospects for dizziness, paranoia and headaches.

The store’s sales people are offered samples to buy that they can take home and test, so they can speak with first-hand experience to customers, Kessler said.

Kessler said he was the original guinea pig for the store, and has tried everything that’s being sold. Take the kind called Purple Urkle, for example.

“I enjoy it in the evening.

It’s very relaxing. It’s great to sit back and watch a movie with; it’s not going to keep you up all night. You’re just going to roll over and go to bed,” he said.

Long time coming The Bainbridge store has been some time in the making.

Voters approved Initiative 502 in November 2012 — with Bainbridge having the highest approval margin of any city in the state with a “yes” vote above 70 percent — and city officials began a stop-and-go process of deciding if, when and where it would allow I-502 businesses on the island.

Kessler, who previously worked as a dog trainer and was known as “the Brooklyn Dog Whisperer,” met Hill, a 10-year Bainbridge resident and the drummer for the famed rock band Blues Traveler, a few years ago.

Kessler began his research for the store almost two years ago, and it’s included visits to more than 40 retail locations in Washington and road trips to Colorado for another 10 or so.

That extensive research effort has helped, the store’s owners said.

“Coming late to the game has been beneficial because we’re kind of learning from other people’s attempts,” Hill said.

A changing industry The lexicon surrounding pot has changed with the times as 502 proponents and others in the cannabis industry push marijuana more into the mainstream.

The “m-word” has disappeared in favor of the word “cannabis”; the smokeable part of the plant once called “buds” has been replaced with “flowers”; cannabis cigarettes once known as “joints” are called “pre-rolls”; and store owners refer to “product,” the cannabis-fueled offerings that range from flowers packed in plastic bags according to weight to vapes (a pot extract ingested through a vaporizer) and

Paper & Leaf, Bainbridge’s newly opened recreational marijuana shop, has a decor and atmosphere much like an art gallery. edibles (marijuana-infused items such as cookies and candies).

Doing it right Bainbridge’s new store offers a wide selection of products, but the owners noted they decided that Paper & Leaf would have its limits. That means no edibles that look like candy.

Hill said the business was going above and beyond state regulations in what the store would offer, and their guiding light for the Bainbridge shop has been “to do it right.” That includes their efforts to guide newbies, or those trying marijuana again for the first time since their college days, to start their cannabis exploration with less-potent strains or with gentler, easier-to-inhale vapes.

It also means advising customers to not mix cannabis with alcohol.

“We highly recommend to people that if you are going to choose to imbibe, make your choice between the two,” Kessler said. “You can’t experience what this product has to offer if it’s with alcohol.”

The store is also big on local growers, with some of the strains coming from producers in Kitsap.

“We’re trying to stay as

More Than Just a Carpet Store!

local as possible,” Kessler noted, and added that roughly five farmers in the region are supplying the store already.

“We want to support our local farmers. We’re committed to supporting those growers,” he said.

An evolving menu The cannabis collection at the store will change often, based on the varieties offered by growers as well as consumer demand.

The store currently has a long list of varieties, called “strains” (the names come in part from the plant’s ancestors) that proprietors say run the gamut from some of the least expensive to most expensive found in the region.

All told, Kessler said the store has tapped approximately a dozen different growers, with each supplying three to four different strains.

“We’re offering somewhere between 36 to 40 strains of flower,” he said.

Prices for the different strains — which include Dutch Treat, OG’s Pearl, Lavender, Afgooey, Tangerine Dream, Sour Diesel, OG Kush and Snoop’s Dream (named after the rapper and celebrated marijuana enthusiast

Snoop Dogg) — range from $9 a gram up to $20.

Per-ounce prices start with a “door-buster” deal on Afgooey at $199 and run up to $400.

New inventory lists are being made every day, and growers are supplying new product about every 10 days.

“The strains in here will change as product comes in,” Hill said.

The store is open only to those 21 and older — IDs are checked when people enter the store and again when a purchase is made.

Summer hours will be 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.

Kessler said he expects islanders to welcome the new business.

“There are going to be those who are still attached to the old world stigma of cannabis. They have every right to express their opinion; they had their right to go vote about it.

“I don’t believe we’ll have a lot of pushback,” he said, and added that visitors will find the store a safe and inviting place.

“Bainbridge is ready to see that stigma changed,” he said. “It’s an amazing, open, liberal community that is going to embrace the changes coming.”

Police arrest naked intruder

BY REVIEW STAFF

A 54-year-old transient was charged with a felony count of residential burglary in Kitsap County District Court this week after police alleged he was found drunk and naked on a stranger’s couch in a Winslow Way apartment.

Peter Matthew Allen was charged with the felony Wednesday, June 24.

He was arrested early Wednesday after the residents of an apartment in the 400 block of Winslow Way East called police just before 12:30 a.m. about a burglary in progress and said an unknown man was in their home.

Police identified the man as Allen, and said he was “highly intoxicated” and found naked on a couch in the home.

Police also determined he had eaten some food from the refrigerator in the apartment, and had dumped some food in the sink and then turned on the water.

The water overflowed in the sink and ran onto the floor, causing damage to the apartment.

The residents told police they didn’t know the intruder and did not give him permission to come into their home.

He was booked into Kitsap County Jail and bail was set at $25,000.

Bainbridge blotter Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

Monday, June 22 9:34 a.m. A 63-year-old Bainbridge man found an arrow stuck in the yard of his home in the 4500 block of Crystal Springs Drive.

The man’s wife tried to remove the arrow but couldn’t, and it was believed it was stuck in a tree root.

Police said the arrow might have came from someone who was hunting nearby or practicing on a private range.

12:18 p.m. A 36-year-old Bainbridge woman reported having contact with “a strange and somewhat hostile person” she met on Facebook about two weeks earlier.

She said she had gotten a friend request from someone with whom she shared a mutual friend. She accepted the friend request and they chatted and made small talk.

She later ignored his attempts to chat with her, as they were frequent and she was busy with other things.

In some of the conversations, he would say things like, “I hate people like you” and “I’m the big bad.” Most recently, he sent her a message saying, “I have a long memory.”

The woman found the messages somewhat threatening and was concerned because she had revealed her address to the man, who lived in California.

She told police she had blocked the man on her Facebook account. An officer could not find the man on Facebook.

12:32 p.m. A 65-year-old Bainbridge man reported a case of malicious mischief and trespassing at his home in the 9700 block of NE Murden Cove Drive.

He said he had been out of town for two weeks and returned home to find the canoe that had been placed under a fir tree on the south side of his home had been moved.

The man said he didn’t think much about it until he noted that the top 20 feet of his 40-foot

tree, a 40- to 50-year-old fir, was missing.

Police found that the tree had been cut in an upside down v-shape about 20 foot up. There was a lot of pitch bleeding from the cut, which police said indicated the tree had been cut more than two weeks ago. An officer did not observe any wood chips or shavings that would have been left behind from cutting the tree.

The man was not concerned about the tree being cut but was more concerned about someone trespassing. He did not want his neighbors contacted but wanted the trespassing documented.

There was no estimate on what it would cost to replace the tree.

2:34 p.m. A 1998 Nissan Frontier was reported stolen from Camelia Loop NE. The woman who reported the theft said she shared it with her ex-husband who lives in Poulsbo, and said the Nissan did not run often and was used for trips to the dump and other projects.

She said she had loaned the Nissan, which had a bumper sticker that said “Eat more kale,” to a friend who returned it a week ago, but the friend had left the spare keys in the vehicle under the stereo, and the vehicle had been left unlocked.

2:42 p.m. A 56-year-old Bainbridge man reported a possible burglary attempt at a commercial building at 755 Winslow Way East.

The man said a maintenance worker discovered the door lock on the basement entrance to the building had signs it had been tampered with.

No one in the building reported anything missing.

The cost to replace the lock was estimated at $500.

3:27 p.m. A 38-year-old Bainbridge man reported the theft of a 7-foot casting rod and reel from his truck.

The vehicle had been parked in the 200 block of High School Road at 7:30 p.m. the previous evening. The man told police he had left the passenger door unlocked.

Police found a headlamp that did not belong to the victim in the passenger seat. An officer also found a red gas container in the bed of the pickup that did

Friday, June 26, 2015 - Bainbridge Island Review

not belong to the victim. The items were placed into evidence.

The rod and reel was valued at $150.

There are no suspects.

10:34 p.m. Police found two suspicious vehicles in the Kitsap Transit Park-and-Ride lot at Highway 305 and Day Road.

An officer discovered a small wing window of a 1981 Toyota pickup had been broken, and there was glass on the ground and in the vehicle.

The truck was registered to a Bainbridge owner, and it looked like someone had rummaged through the vehicle. The glove box was open and paper and trash was strewn about the inside of the truck. The place on the dashboard for a radio was empty, and wires were sticking out and not connected to anything.

Another vehicle, a 1987 Acura Integra, had open windows and the radio and dashboard also appeared to have been damaged. The vehicle also had a key in the ignition.

The Acura was registered to someone in Seattle, and a Bainbridge officer called Seattle police to conduct a welfare check on the owner but no one answered the door when police went to the door of the Seattle apartment.

Sunday, June 21 6:14 a.m. A 21-year-old woman in a 2010 Honda Civic was driving west on Hidden Cove Road and tried to turn south on Highway 305 when her car was struck by a 51-year-old woman in a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox that was turning off the highway onto Hidden Cove Road.

No one was injured.

8:41 a.m. Police were contacted by a Bainbridge couple who had recently purchased Bainbridge Bakers. They said the business was missing baking equipment, and the landlord to the building said things had been donated to the Rotary auction.

Police later learned that items left inside the building such as tables, aprons, shirts and trash had not been removed for many weeks after the previous owner of the bakery was evicted. The items were later left outside the building and picked up by Rotary volunteers.

Rotary was contacted and the organization said it would hold the items for the new owners.

an initial breath test had a reading of .154.

She was taken into custody for DUI, and later tests had readings of .142 and .141.

The driver was booked into Kitsap County Jail and bail was set at $5,000.

5:50 p.m. A 35-year-old Tracyton woman in a Ford Explorer was driving north on Highway 305 and stopped on Agate Pass Bridge due to heavy traffic and was struck from behind by a 19-year-old Seattle man in a Volkswagen Jetta.

The man said he had looked out at the water for a moment while crossing the bridge, but when he turned his gaze back to the road, he saw traffic had stopped and he couldn’t stop in time.

The driver of the Ford was not hurt. The Seattle man was treated for minor injuries on his arms by an aid crew and was cited for distracted driving.

Tuesday, June 16 3:50 p.m. A 20-year-old Bainbridge man in a 2004 Dodge Ram pickup and a 53-year-old man in a 2012 Chrysler 300 4D sedan were both driving north on Highway 305 when the truck driver rear-ended the other driver as they approached the intersection at Madison Avenue.

The driver of the Chrysler slowed for traffic, which was heavy due to the ferry unloading, when he was struck from behind.

The first driver said he looked down to change music and when he looked up, traffic had come to a halt but he couldn’t stop his truck in time.

5 p.m. A 67-year-old Bainbridge woman reported the theft of her boat buoy. It was shaped like the head of a shark and had been anchored in the bay behind her home. It was valued at $200.

Monday, June 15 11:41 a.m. A 40-year-old Poulsbo man in a 2014 Nissan Frontier was stopped for traffic on High School Road near the high school when a 22-year-old Suquamish man in a 1991 Honda Civic hit him from behind.

The younger driver said he had just purchased the car the night before and tried to use the brakes which didn’t work. He said he did not have time to get insurance or transfer the title after his recent purchase.

He was cited for driving without insurance and for following too closely.

No one was injured. The driver of the Honda was told the vehicle did not appear to be safe to drive; it was left parked at the school.

Friday, June 19 10:33 a.m. A 60-year-old woman from Hansville, Utah said both passenger side windows of her 2013 Nissan were broken while the car was parked at the Fort Ward boat launch.

Police questioned a 35-year-old park district employee who was using a weed whacker nearby.

He said he had apparently launched material into the air that damaged the nearby car, but didn’t hear the windows break because he was using hearing protection.

Damage was estimated at $700.

12:30 p.m. A 71-year-old Bainbridge woman called police to report the theft of traffic cones she had placed along her property to keep people from driving on her lawn.

She later learned the owner of the cones, the city of Bainbridge Island, had reclaimed them.

The woman also told police that sometime between 11 a.m.

June 17 and 11:35 a.m. July 18, someone removed three gallons of gas from the lawnmower that had been left on her lawn.

She also accused an unnamed neighbor of removing a rhododendron near her property line in late April.

Thursday, June 18 1:15 a.m. A teenager in a 2008 Honda Civic was heading west on Wild Cherry Lane when the car began sliding after the driver hit his brakes.

The driver lost control and hit a wood fence before the car came to rest on a cement retaining wall.

There were no injuries. The driver left a note behind explaining what had happened.

2:40 a.m. Police noticed a slow-moving driver in a 2009 Ford Ranger pickup truck heading north on Highway 305.

An officer followed the truck after it turned onto Madison Avenue and then New Brooklyn Road, then came to a complete stop in the middle of the road.

The driver continued onward, going 30 mph in a 40 mph zone.

The truck went over the white fog line and onto the dirt shoulder four times, and the driver also swerved over the center dividing line twice.

Police stopped the truck and contacted the driver, an 18-yearold Bainbridge woman.

She was surprised to see the officer at her window, and her eyes appeared watery and bloodshot.

Police also smelled the odor of alcohol. She did not have a license with her and could only produce her vehicle registration.

She failed field sobriety tests and

During this period, the artist developed an intense focus on dream imagery and lucid dream practice. Integrating formal aspects of line, shape and color, with representational and symbolic content became the primary concern in his work. He describes this process as “the alchemical transmutation of base materials into spiritual gold.”

After retirement, Jack and Elizabeth enjoyed weekend visits from their grandsons, annual trips to Maui to visit friends and car trips around the country to visit relatives.

They also enjoyed foreign travel to England, Spain, Italy, France, Turkey, Mexico and Thailand.

Jack enjoyed boating for most of his life and usually owned a small runabout for fishing and water skiing. In 1982, he and Elizabeth bought a 36-foot powerboat, named Astarte, which had enough room to feed and sleep four people for extended periods. It was this boat that allowed them to explore the San Juan Islands, Canada’s Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound and to take off for four months in 1986 and cruise to Alaska with Elizabeth’s sister Janet Thompson and her husband Reg. When boating became a larger part of their lives, they became active in the Poulsbo Yacht Club and the Agate Pass Sail and Power Squadron where they made many new friends.

Whitman College remained near and dear to Jack and Elizabeth throughout their lives. They attended the Whitman Senior Alumni College most summers until failing health precluded travel.

Jack was preceded in death by his wife, Elizabeth, his sister Grace (Lesher), his brother Edward and Janet Thompson, his companion from 2006 until her death in 2013.

He is survived by his son John Jr. (Phyllis) of Bainbridge Island, WA, his daughter Janet (Gary Rambo) of Seattle, WA, grandson Louis Rambo (Lindsey) of Los Angeles, CA, grandson Charles Rambo (Emily) of Olympia, WA, step-grandson Joseph Rambo (Jennifer) of Sisters, OR, step-great-granddaughter Courtney Rambo of Bellingham, WA, sister-in-law Martha Fairbank of Durham, NC, sister-in-law Janette Harding of Friendswood, TX and many nieces and nephews.

Services are planned for the end of summer.

Dial M for memories: StoryShare is catching on at the senior center

BY LESLIE KELLY Contributing Writer

They knew it’d be popular. But they didn’t know how popular.

The Bainbridge Island Senior Center’s Collect Call Phone Booth has logged about six hours of memories each week since it opened in May. The phone booth, built by the Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network (BARN), is a handcrafted red oak private phone booth where anyone can drop by and record a memory or personal story to be shared with others.

“It’s been popular,” said Sue Barrington, Waterfront Park Community Center program manager. “The news about it got out before we really had everything in place. So we’ve been rushing to keep up.”

The StoryShare project was in the making for more than a year and is a way to gather and share

Luciano Marano | Bainbridge Island Review

The Bainbridge Island Senior Center’s Collect Call Phone Booth has already logged nearly six hours of memories. memories of those who reside on Bainbridge Island. The phone collects the call and records it to be reviewed later.

It’s technically only at a “soft opening” stage, Barrington said.

The real intergenerational kickoff will be this fall.

“We’re working with the local schools to have students and teachers come to the Waterfront Center to record their own stories beginning in the fall,” she said. “We want this to be an intergenerational project.”

Student will record stories as part of a class experience and the hope is that the sweetness of how children tell stories will be captured.

To date, it’s mostly been seniors who frequent the center who have used the phone booth. Some stories have been gathered at community events. Callers can talk about anything, but suggested topics have been offered.

Among them: “Tributes to John DeMeyer” (community retirement celebration), “Memorial Stories for Marcia Ruddoff,” Stories of Exclusion (related to the Japanese Internment), first kiss, favorite

holiday memory, and “Simply Bainbridge” — stories of things that seemingly could only happen here, she said.

What’s needed now are volunteers who can listen and edit the stories, Barrington said.

“We have an intern this summer who is helping out with that,” she said. “But we need people with a commitment to confidentiality who can listen and edit in a way that honors the individual telling the story.”

Some stories will be chosen for more in-depth interviews and then video recorded for podcast.

“We don’t have any staff time for this program, really, so volunteers are important to make it succeed,” Barrington said.

The old school-style phone booth is more than seven feet tall and sits in the center’s lobby. Memories are recorded on a circa 1900s vintage phone. Inside the mouthpiece is a voice-activated recording device

that will capture any spoken words.

Participants can sit on a stool to record a 3- to 5-minute story. The audio is immediately saved and the next person can step inside to record their memory. Participants are asked to leave their name and phone number so they possibly can be contacted later for more details, but they can remain anonymous.

Since the messages and stories are just beginning to be listened to and edited, Barrington doesn’t really know yet what’s there. The most interesting ones will be archived at the Bainbridge Island Historical Museum.

To drop by and tell a story go to 370 Brien Drive SE, or call 206-8421616 for more information.

Along with the senior center, the Bainbridge Community Broadcast, the museum, BARN and the Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District all had a hand in the project.

City council OKs controversial contract with Bainbridge Community Foundation

BY BRIAN KELLY

Bainbridge Island Review

The Bainbridge Island City Council unanimously approved a controversial partnership with the Bainbridge Community Foundation at the council’s meeting last week that city officials say will help improve accountability and oversight of the roughly $320,000 in funding given out yearly to nonprofits on the island.

Some in the island’s nonprofit community, however, raised fears that money that could go to serving residents will be wasted on a consultant that’s really not needed.

City officials gave a thumb’s up to a proposal from the Bainbridge Community Foundation that would help the city set up a review and evaluation process for nonprofits that seek city funding for health, housing and human services.

The city will now pay the foundation more than $21,000 to help the city set up funding goals, with the foundation taking over as administrators of the allocation process.

Concerns raised early The notion to tap the Bainbridge Community Foundation as a human services consultant first arose earlier this year.

But at the council’s May 5 meeting, representatives of nonprofits from across the island raised alarm at the idea, which some feared would reduce the amount of city funding available to local nonprofits such as Helpline House, the Bainbridge Island Special Needs Foundation, Boys & Girls Club and others.

At that meeting, city officials could not say how much the foundation would be paid for its assistance.

In a letter to the city council, the board of Helpline House said even just using 1 to 10 percent (or $3,000

to $30,000) of the funding currently devoted to human services would have a negative impact.

“Helpline’s Board of Directors unanimously opposes this proposal,” the board wrote in the letter.

“None of the limited funds available for human services should be spent on administration by a private foundation.”

“The city previously tried this approach, and it was a failure,” the letter continued.

“It was an approach that wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars on layers of unnecessary administration. It created a process that proved to be highly political, and one that was unduly burdensome on the human-services agencies.”

That failed approach led to city residents getting fewer services due to the money, time and resources gobbled up by the administration of the old system, the board said.

That old system was the Health, Housing and Human Services Council (HHHC), an organization that was set up by the city in 1993 and worked as a volunteer board until 1999, when it got a large, three-year grant to provide youth services and then hired an executive director.

After funding from the threeyear grant ran out, the city stepped forward with funding and contracted with HHHC, which identified and recommended local organizations to receive human services funding from the city.

Since the departure of HHHC, the city has been awarding human services grants to the same 11 nonprofits that received funding in HHHC’s last recommendation to the city.

Discussions on taking a closer look at the city’s funding for health, housing and human services started to ramp up in March, when city

officials asked the council to consider priorities and funding that could be sustainable long-term.

Officials also said the city had not reviewed the significance of the programs receiving money, or the results from city grant funding, during the past three years.

City touts accountability City spokeswoman Kellie Stickney said creating a new allocation process will help the city make sure it is being fiscally responsible, and would increase accountability and transparency.

The size of the funding allocated to housing, health and human services is a large amount, she added, and totals approximately 3 percent of the city’s general fund. The general fund is the budget that pays for basic government services, such as planning, police and administrative services.

“It’s a significant amount of money to be awarding without a really good process,” Stickney said.

City officials said the Bainbridge Community Foundation would be used to help allocate human services funding for a “one-year trial” period, for any funding awards made in 2016. A new citizen advisory committee will be formed to make recommendations on goals and funding awards.

It’s the size of the funding for the foundation, and the prospect that it may come from the same pot used to pay for grants to nonprofits, that raised concerns the last time the proposal was before the council.

Bob Scales, a board member for Helpline House, urged the council at their May meeting not to repeat the same mistakes that had been made with HHHC while he was on the city council.

“There are agencies that are struggling and their cli-

ents are struggling,” Scales said in the letter. “If you are going to spend one extra dollar, spend it on the services, not on a consultant to tell you how to spend the money.”

Worries remain The criticism continued, though much more muted, before last week’s vote.

Geoff Grindeland, the president of the board of directors for Helpline House, recalled complaints from the nonprofit in early May that it had been excluded from the dialogue about the city’s change in direction.

That changed, and talks turned fruitful, he said.

Until June 1, Grindeland added, when city officials said they would move forward with its plan.

No mention was made of a contract with the foundation two weeks ago, he added, which the nonprofit found out about a day before the council meeting.

“We don’t feel that such short notice gives us a reasonable opportunity to provide input,” he said.

The nonprofit submitted a letter to the council just before its June 16 meeting,

which again set out Helpline House’s “deep concerns” about the proposal to contract with BCF. In the letter, the Helpline House board asked the city to postpone its decision, and the board accused the foundation of having closeddoor meetings with the city to develop the proposal. The board also said the foundation’s special access created a conflict of interest, and it also said the foundation had a lack of experience in advising municipal governments on how to spend taxpayer dollars on human services.

The process, the letter said, had not been “open, honest or fair.”

Council defends process But Councilman Val Tollefson said he had been threatened by Grindeland, whom Tollefson said had vowed to contact the newspaper about Helpline House’s opposition to the city’s move to get assistance from the foundation.

Tollefson said the council was being accused of running the whole process behind closed doors.

“Nothing could be further

from the truth,” he said. “And I’m surprised that you think that.”

Tollefson said one of his first meetings was with the executive director of Helpline House, and he recalled other meetings about the proposal.

“We’ve met with executive directors as groups, we’ve met with executive directors as individuals, and this process has been as transparent as a process can be,” Tollefson said.

“I take personal affront,” he added, to the tone of the letter. “I think this process has been very well-run. I understand you don’t like the result, and that’s what it is, but I’m proud of the work we’ve done.”

Mayor Anne Blair said nonprofit organizations had been in the loop about the city’s plans.

She said the city had a profound responsibility to taxpayers to be accountable and open on how public funds are spent.

The proposal passed on a 5-0 vote. Councilman Roger Townsend and Councilwoman Sarah Blossom were absent.

...we can take care of them!

All burning permits have been rescinded throughout Bainbridge Island and unincorporated Kitsap County as of Monday, June 22, according to the Bainbridge Island Fire Department.

Recreational fires that are less than three feet in diameter and at least 25 feet from buildings and combustibles are still allowed at this time, as well as fires in outdoor

The colored cubes are the latest incidents of mysterious mischief downtown in recent months.

In March, the city asked for the public’s help in stopping a string of illegal dumping incidents where person or persons unknown were leaving small plastic bags filled with an unidentified soupy mixture on top of trash receptacles across downtown, from city hall to Waterfront Park.

Officials said the bags had been filled with some sort of liquid food waste, and raccoons and birds were making the situation worse by tearing the bags open, leaving a gooey and gross mess behind.

The city never found the culprit, and reports of the slime bags dropped off in April.

fireplaces and campfires in approved locations at campgrounds.

This summer has been especially dry, officials noted as the reason for the ban.

Current fire conditions are usually not experienced until late July, and the warm, dry weather is predicted to continue, they said.

Bainbridge Island city officials are seeing red — orange, actually — over a mysterious case of vandalism that stretches from one end of downtown Winslow to the other.

Bainbridge Island City Manager Doug Schulze told the council at its meeting last week that some of the concrete cube benches on Winslow Way have been painted orange in the past week.

“This is something that was not authorized by the city,” Schulze said. “City staff didn’t do it.”

The benches were installed during the Winslow Way makeover and are arranged in clusters up and down the city’s main drag.

Not every bench was painted orange, but benches from one end of Winslow Way to the other have taken on the color of Cinderella’s carriage at midnight.

The paint job appears methodical, with no signs of dripping paint or splatters on nearby sidewalks.

City officials have no idea who is responsible — no one has been caught red-handed — and the possibilities of removing the paint are problematic.

The cubes can’t easily be cleaned, Schulze said, because pressure washing or using a solvent solution could damage the surface of the concrete.

The city could decide to leave the cubes colored orange, or paint over the orange with paint that matches the gray color, he said.

“We are trying to find out who did it. If you hear any rumors about who might have done this, we certainly would like to chat with them, so it doesn’t continue,” Schulze told the council.

residents who have a recreational fire to be sure to follow these basic safety rules: • Always clear dry grass and other combustibles away from the fire area; • Always have a garden hose or other means of extinguishing the fire readily available; and • Never leave a fire unattended.

hen most people hear the term “water trails,” they might think kayaks, canoes and paddle boards.

But the Kitsap Peninsula Water Trails, and its designation as part of the National Water Trails system, means much more.

According to local officials and business owners, having that designation and being part of the Washington Water Trails Association means tourism dollars and a boost to the local economy.

Patricia Graf-Hoke, executive director of Visit Kitsap Peninsula, the region’s official tourism development agency, said it means national and international attention and the opportunity to attract more outdoor recreation visitors.

In May 2014, U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell approved Kitsap County’s application to have the Kitsap Peninsula Water Trails added to the National Water Trails System. Since then, the Water Trails has been featured in national press release announcements, National Park publications and mostly in local, regional newspapers.

In the past few months, media exposure has included a feature article in the May edition of Alaska-Horizon Airlines’ inflight magazine, Beyond, with a readership of 600,000; and in the June issue of Scuba-H2O, an international magazine

focus of the Water Trails tends to be on paddling, it includes other water-related activities including sailing, stand-up paddle boards, Tribal canoes, outriggers, boating and fishing.”

Kitsap already is a popular destination for cycling, mountain biking and marathons, Graf-Hoke said.

The national designation of Kitsap’s Water Trails provides another opportunity to build on the brand, the Natural Side of Puget Sound, that Visit Kitsap Peninsula has been promoting since 2009.

Economy

Continued from page 2 for Parks & Outdoor Recreation. The task force was charged with looking at the economic impact of outdoor recreation and short- and long-term funding strategies. To help identify the economic benefits of outdoor recreation, waterways and parks, Washington State hired Earth Economics to conduct a study and prepare a report, which was released in February.

Key findings in the report showed that recreation associated with “public waters” generates the highest tourism-related revenue — $21.6 billion is spent every year in Washington state on outdoor recreation.

Washington residents average 27 visits per year to local parks, making local parks the most visited land type for outdoor recreation.

The Earth Economic report ranked Kitsap fourth in the state in

employment, with 6,700 jobs attributed to outdoor recreation, and sixth with $700 million in sales and expenditures related to outdoor recreation activities and visitors.

The Visit Kitsap Peninsula board decided in 2009 to make Kitsap’s natural environment and outdoor recreation assets a primary focus of its branding, marketing and tourism strategy. Since it didn’t have the advantage of mega hotels, sport complexes or large conference centers, the board decide instead to take advantage of the region’s close proximity to Seattle/ Tacoma and the Eastside (Bellevue) metro area and target urban employees and dwellers.

“The Earth Economic’s study and the national water designation definitely validates the VKP’s decision to target outdoor recreation visitors,” said Graf-Hoke.

“It’s a logical way to help diversity in the economy and help hoteliers increase sales among lei-

sure travelers which have more disposable income and can pay higher room rates versus government travelers which are

capped at a lower per-diem rate.”

It’s a strategy that appears to be reaping positive results for local government and hotels, she said. According to recent Smith Travel Reports, lodging revenues for Kitsap County are up more than 15 percent over the last year and in some cases up 23 percent month to month. Sales in Kitsap County are up nearly $900,000 in the first six month.

Additionally, the water trails is being enjoyed by

more than boaters. It’s spawned improvements to docks and marinas along its route that are also used by day hikers and those who fish. It has also increased the number of folks who enjoy other water sports such as scuba diving and underwater photography.

Among those who are seeing a greater interest in Kitsap County waterways, partly due to the water trails, is Kathy Garcia, manager of the Bremerton Marina.

“At both Bremerton and Port Orchard (marinas), we’re seeing a lot of interest in the water trails,” said Garcia. “People have been coming in more frequently and asking about kayak storage. More and more people are trying to get to the water via trails.”

Garcia said the marinas are no longer just a place to put motorboats in the water.

Polynesian outrigger canoe club will be in festival

BY LESLIE KELLY lkelly@soundpublishing.com

T

hey’re on the water at least three times a week from March to October. Some are natives of Hawaii. Some are folks who have traveled to Hawaii and love the culture. Others just like to paddle.

They are the Hui Heihei Wa’aa Polynesian outrigger club of Kitsap County, and they are more than 60 members strong.

The club will be at the Water Trails Festival on June 27, at Silverdale Waterfront Park. They plan to share information about the sport, show techniques on dry land

Economy

Continued from page 3 “We’re trying to incorporate it (the water trails) into what we do,� she said. “We’re working on more storage facilities for kayaks and we’re promoting the water trails at the boat shows we go to.�

Additionally, the re-opening of the Harper Pier, also a property of the Port of Bremerton, and the addition of a float that

and, if possible, take some folks out to paddle. “We want to spread the word about the culture

and tradition behind this sport,� member Debee Straub said. “We want to share our love of pad-

dling.�

According to paddling experts, the outrigger canoe is a type of canoe

featuring one or more lateral support floats known as outriggers, which are fastened to

one or both sides of the main hull. Smaller canoes

allows kayakers to tie up their kayaks, was influenced by the water trails.

Harper Pier also serves as a recreational facility for fishing and diving. “With the re-opening of Harper Pier, the connection to the water trails is great,� Garcia said. “People can tie up their boats and take a walk along the beach.�

It’s a place where divers can go underwater and where local fishing is known to be good, she

added. And there are restrooms nearby, which makes it a convenient stop.

Jerry Rowland, manager at the Port of Brownsville, is a fan of the water trails, too. “I think it’s going to bring more people to Kitsap County,� he said. “Instead of this being the place they travel through to get to somewhere else, they’re stopping and enjoying the view of our countryside from the water.�

While the Brownsville dock is small and doesn’t have a lot of amenities, he said he’s seeing more people use it as a place to launch their kayaks or stop off for a rest while kayaking. “I’m excited about it,� he said. “It’s great that it is happening.�

Another small town that has been helped by the water trails is Tracyton.

Last summer, the Port of Tracyton did work to its dock and added a rest area

for kayakers. There are picnicking areas nearby and a small grocery store and a pub.

According to Port Commissioner Ted Hilliard, the port decided to make improvements because commissioners were excited to be on the water trails. “It puts us back on the map,� he said.

Poulsbo is also expecting to see a benefit from the water trails. “It can’t be anything but

good if it helps promote the water and use of the water,� said Brad Miller, director of the Port of Poulsbo.

Although the Port of Poulsbo is a destination port for motorized watercraft and sailboats, Miller hopes it will attract kayakers and those who paddle. “If those visitors shop and eat and stay in Poulsbo, that definitely will have a positive impact,� he said.

Outrigger

Continued from page 4 often employ a single outrigger on the port side, while larger canoes may employ a single-outrigger, double-outrigger or double-hull configuration.

The sailing canoes are an important part of the Polynesian heritage and are raced and sailed in Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa and by the Maori of New Zealand.

Unlike a single-hulled canoe, an outrigger or double-hull canoe generates stability as a result of the distance between its hulls rather than due to the shape of each individual hull.

As such, the hulls of outrigger or double-hull canoes are typically longer, narrower and more hydro-dynamically efficient than those of single-hull canoes. Compared to other types of canoes, outrigger canoes can be quite fast, yet are also capable of being paddled and sailed in rougher water.

This paddling technique, however, differs greatly from kayaking or rowing. The paddle, or blade, is single sided, with either a straight or a double-bend shaft. Despite the single paddle, an experienced person will only paddle on one side, using a technique such as a J-stroke to maintain heading and stability.

The outrigger float is called the “ama” in many Polynesian and Micronesian languages.

The spars connecting the ama to the main hull are called “aiako” in Hawaiian and kiato in Maori; in Micronesian languages, the term “aka” is used.

The club was founded in 1997 by coach Rod Rodenhurst, who moved to Kitsap County from Hawaii. Members paddle on Mondays, Wednesday and Thursdays at Silverdale on Dyes Inlet, and again on Saturday mornings. There is a club for youth who want to learn the techniques, which meets on Saturdays after the adults practice.

And throughout May, June and July, they compete in regattas. This July, they host the Whaling Days Dyes Inlet Dash July 26 as a way to share the sport with those who want

to come out and try outrigger canoe sprint team racing.

Straub and her husband joined the group in 2008, when they moved back to Kitsap County after both served in the Navy.

“I fell in love with it,” she said. “It’s something you can do all year round.”

Straub decided to try it when she had the desire to constantly be on the water, but in winter it was too cold to swim. While she’s visited Hawaii once, and didn’t ever want to leave, her real passion is “being on the water.”

She considers it a sport and is very competitive, but said many people see it as a recreational pursuit.

“It’s definitely different from regular canoeing,” she said. “You have to use your whole body in order to have the right technique as you paddle.”

She called it an art based on strength and rhythm.

“You have to be in line with everyone else who is in your boat,” she said.

As an experienced outrigger, Straub competes in regattas against teams from Seattle, Portland, Bellingham and those in the Tri-City area. She also competes in 500-meter sprints. In the winter months, she canoes in long-distance runs.

While traditional outrigger paddlers sometimes wear ceremonial dress, club members wear shorts and tank tops with the team logo. In colder months, they wear heavier clothing.

When the season begins, the club has a “Blessing of the Canoes,” usually performed in native Hawaiian language.

And when someone close to the club passes, club members celebrate the passing on the water where they all raise their paddles toward Heaven.

“Part of our work is to share the culture and bring awareness to the native ways of the Hawaiian population,” she said. “Some of it is ceremonial and some of it is just fun.”

There’s more underwater than you think

BY LESLIE KELLY lkelly@soundpublishing.com

T

here’s no doubt in Jim Gunderson’s mind that the Kitsap Peninsula Water Trails and its national status is bringing new divers to the area.

“It’s bringing more attention to what is under water in Kitsap County,” said Gunderson. “It’s an absolute treasure and most people don’t know that.”

Gunderson owns and operates Hula Kai Adventures, a Kingstonbased scuba diving business which he opened in October 2014.

Admittedly, most people don’t think about the Pacific Northwest when planning a scuba diving trip, Gunderson said. They typically think Hawaii, or the Caribbean or Belize.

According to Gunderson, our waters are home to the plumose anemone; a variety of nudibranchs, each of which is absolutely beautiful; seals and ling cod; Dungeness and rock crabs; the pink Pacific sea star and the sun star, the largest sea stars in the world; and the giant Pacific octopus, the largest known octopus in the world.

“All of these are here in the waters of Kitsap County, not to mention a number of ship wrecks,” he added.

At the Water Trails Festival on June 27, Gunderson plans to go underwater at Silverdale with a camera and a mask with a communication device so that he can describe what he’s seeing.

There will be a monitor on shore where people can

The pink Pacific sea star is one of the largest sea stars in the world, and it makes its home in Kitsap County’s waters.

view what he’s doing.

“We’ll start near the surface and look at two different species of mussels,” he said. “As we go deeper, we’ll see clams and feather duster worms and Christmas tree worms.

They’re not really worms

at all. The feather duster looks just like the feather duster your grandma used.”

Additionally, folks will be able to view hermit and Dungeness crabs and juvenile perch.

What he also plans to show those on shore is the trash that’s left at the bottom of Dyes Inlet.

“It will be a teaching moment — the sober side of things,” Gunderson said.

“Just because you throw a can or a cup overboard, that doesn’t mean it’s gone forever.”

In his years diving, he’s brought up many bags of trash, including golf balls.

“Hundreds of them,” he said. “There’s countless things down there that no diver wants to see. We have a beautiful treasure and we need to keep it pristine.”

On June 28, he or divers with Sound Dive of Bremerton will be at the Port of Brownsville to repeat the underwater camera dive. The U.S. Coast Guard is helping with the camera dive.

Great dive sites throughout Kitsap County include Rockaway Beach and Blakely Harbor on Bainbridge Island, Seabeck, Harpers Pier in Port Orchard, and many

“Just because you throw a can or a cup overboard, that doesn’t mean it’s gone forever.”

— Jim Gunderson others, he said.

With the notoriety of the Water Trails, word is getting out about what great dives can happen here, Gunderson said.

“There’s an uptick in interest of what is here,” he said. “I’ve been out talking to groups like the Rotary and Kiwanis to educate them about the incredible life that is under water around here.”

For most who scuba dive, watching the interaction of sea life with its environment is what takes them underwater.

“Just sitting and watching what’s there can be fascinating,” he said.

‘Cap’n Safety’ had roles in two films, TV program

BY LESLIE KELLY AND TERRY ASLA For Kitsap Week

I

f you’ve ever watched “Master and Commander,” “Pirates of the Caribbean” or “Once Upon a Time,” you’ll think the man in charge of safety for the Kitsap Water Trails Festival Paddles looks familiar.

His name is Captain John Morrison — “JB” to his friends — and he is the safety captain for the Brownsville Brownie Challenge Paddle on June 27 and the Keys to Keyport Fun Paddle and Raffle on June 28.

The two events are part of the Kitsap Water Trails Festival that will take place at the ports of Brownsville, Keyport and Silverdale.

Affable and outgoing, Morrison makes light of his movie-making experiences and how he wound up in front of the cameras.

“I was cast as a background actor in ‘Master and Commander’ and wound up taking on extra duties I was qualified for because of my nautical and safety background,” said Morrison, who once captained for Vessel Assist Tacoma.

Morrison, a professional sailor with a 100-ton masters ticket (license), takes safety on the water very

Diving

Continued from page 10 Another off-shoot of diving is underwater photography and videography.

“It’s considered a specialty of diving,” he said. “You can take incredible photos of the life under water. In fact, there are some phenomenal underwater photographers from this area who have been published in national magazines.”

Recently, the Kitsap Peninsula Water Trails was featured in Scuba H2O magazine, which told divers about what they can find under the water in Kitsap.

seriously.

“While personal safety is each paddler’s responsibility, we will have safety boats laid on for the two paddles,” he said, “including a ‘Tail End Charlie’ that can give anyone who gets tired or cold a tow or ride.”

Captain Morrison has more than a decade of experience restoring tall ships and is presently in charge of rebuilding the tall ship Fiddler’s Dream at the Port of Brownsville.

Tours of the schooner and a kids’ toy wooden boat build will be offered from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

June 28.

A native of eastern Washington who ran away to sea for a life of adventure, his advice to beginning boaters is “Be prepared. Take a class, file a float plan and have the right equipment and clothing.”

Morrison grew up in a family that moved around

dives to his credit and has a degree in marine science.

He was a research diver for the University of Hawaii for three years before moving to Kitsap County. He came here because of the diving.

“Good diving brought me here,” Gunderson said.

“It’s world class.”

His company offers classes for beginners to experienced divers. Go to www.hulakaiscuba.com or call 360-297-3483.

Sound Dive, 5000 Burwell St., Bremerton, is another resource for those who want to know about scuba diving in and around Kitsap.

Other favorite dive spots of local scuba divers include Manchester, Harper Pier, Illahee Dock, Fort Ward, Port Washington and Hood Canal.

Bainbridge has scuba diving at Point White Pier, where the historic former Mosquito Fleet was once docked. Kitsap Memorial State Park near Poulsbo also is a beautiful setting for scuba diving.

Some must-sees at the Water Trails Festival

BY TERRY ASLA For Kitsap Week

Northwest BeechBoys will fly June 27 A group of private pilots based at Bremerton Airport who have taken precision flying to a higher level will perform at the Water Trails Festival on June 27.

Based on military formation flying techniques and procedures, they have formed a team that performs for festivals and other events in the Northwest. They have been flying about a decade.

They fly Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft, which is how they came up with the nickname “BeechBoys.”

“I started the concept when I lived in California,” said Jim Posner, flight lead. “There is a counterpart group that still performs similar forma-

Morrison

Continued from page 11 a lot.

“My father was in management and he kept getting promoted,” said Morrison. “As a kid, I moved 16 times.”

But his years spent near water made a lasting impression on him, and when it came time for him to be on his own, he chose the Pacific Coast.

Through a series of adventures and “pure luck,” he was able to train to sail tall ships.

“I did a very intensive two-week program on the Lady Washington,” he said. “And because of that, I was able to get work sailing with a number of tall ships. I loved it and I knew I wanted to stick with it and stay on the water.”

He has sea time aboard a dozen vessels including the HMS Surprise, Lady Washington, Hawaiian Chieftain, HMS Bounty — a square top-sail ketch — Argus, a schooner and Mary Day, with Vessel

tion demonstration flights there. When I moved up to Washington State, I started a group here and distinguished it from my formation flying friends in California by adding ‘Northwest’ to our name.”

Form flying requires discipline, practice and an attitude that safety is the primary goal, Posner said.

“We’ve never had an accident,” he said.

While the group’s flight configurations are similar to those of military formation flying demonstration teams such as the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels, they don’t fly nearly as close.

“Plus, we don’t have the engine power they do to maintain that kind of minute spacing,” Posner said. “Nevertheless, we do fly with about a three-foot separation — a safe margin but still requiring concentration and practice.”

Their flight June 27 will consist of three passes

overhead in different configurations to show how flexible this type of flying can be.

“We hope that you enjoy our show,” he said.

Assist Tacoma.

That experience led him to be asked to work on the sets of television shows and movies that included tall ships.

“Working as crew for TV and movies was an experience,” he said. “But I would rather have been on the water for real.”

As Morrison explained, much of the filming was done in studio with prop ships that were actually on barges. It was take after take of the same thing over and over.

“I kept thinking, ‘Let’s do this for real and get out to sea,’ ” he said. “But Hollywood, they like a controlled environment.”

He did work with Johnny Depp on the first “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie and more recently, he worked with Macklemore in his music video “Can’t Hold Us.” “That was more of a real thing,” he said. “We were out on the water

by Channel Islands near Ventura, California, and in Oakland Bay.” As for the future, he’s

not seeking out movies and TV anymore. He’s thrilled to be hired to rebuild the Fiddler’s Dream and be a part of bringing a tall ship to the Port of Brownsville.

He loves living onboard a Canary 33 sailing suite at the port and being near family. His mother and sister live in Seattle and he has a brother in Pullman.

Morrison thinks sailing got in his blood when he was young and lived near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where he saw all kinds of boats on the water.

“I watched boats all day long when I could,” he said. “I was just intrigued by sailboats, mostly because they weren’t loud or noisy and stinky. They were just beautiful and majestic.”

Festival marks years of work to create water trails

ome Saturday, chances are you’ll be able to see Kitsap County Commissioners Ed Wolfe, Rob Gelder and possibly Charlotte Garrido on the water in kayaks.

They say it’s the perfect way for them to celebrate the three to five years of work by the county and volunteers to ensure that the Kitsap Peninsula Water Trails happened. In 2013, it was designated as part of the Cascadia Marine Trail by the Washington Water

Trails Association.

And with it now being designated as a part of the National Water Trails System, a celebration is truly in order.

The Water Trails Festival will be June 27 and 28, with activities on Saturday at the Silverdale Waterfront Park.

But it’s at Evergreen Park in Bremerton, where about 100 kayakers will put their boats in the water, along with Wolfe and Gelder. Wolfe and Gelder are experienced kayakers and Garrido has kayaked in the past.

“I’m just hoping the tide will be with us,” said Wolfe, who was elected to the commission last year. “The trip is about five miles and if all goes well, it will only take us a couple of hours.”

Wolfe said he and his wife like to put their kayaks in the water in Dyes Inlet just about anytime that the weather is good.

“I can leave work and go home and be on the water in about 20 minutes,” he said. “That’s one of the reasons I love living here.”

Gelder, in the past, was a serious kayaker who paddled and camped for week-

Bainbridge Island, to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and the waters of Hood Canal. There are 13 separate trails designed as a continuous tail experience, to make up the entire trail.

Kayakers can map out where they want to travel, based on their time and experience. At stops along the way, there are amenities such as connections to parks and trails for hiking, restrooms, places to picnic and rest, campgrounds and nearby stores and restaurants.

Visit Kitsap Peninsula actually developed the Water Trails map which

started the process of applying for national trails status, said Patty GrafHoke, executive director of Visit Kitsap Peninsula.

According to Eric Baker, policy manager for the Kitsap County commissioners, the county’s role in the creation of the Water Trails has been to work with the various jurisdictions along the trail to make sure that everything came together in an orderly fashion.

“In general, there is a robust outdoor recreation community in Kitsap County,” Baker said. “The SEE FESTIVAL, PAGE 3

“I didn’t have room in my garage for the 17-foot kayak, so I sold it,” he said.

“Now, when I go out, I just rent a kayak.”

For this trip from Bremerton to Silverdale, Gelder is looking forward to a “nice leisurely paddle.”

“It’s on an incoming tide,” he said. “It will be great to have nature help us paddle.”

Expertly crafted, custom-built rowing and sailing boats from 8-17’ Gig Harbor Boat Works is the builder of a unique line of custom small boats for rowing and sailing. Our boats are modern reproductions of small boats used during the last century of working sail when people earned their living using only wind and oar.

As custom boat builders, the experience of buying a boat from us is different than you’ll find in a big-box store, or even most online retailers. Ordering a boat from us is a personal experience.

For most of us, buying a boat is a major decision, so it’s very important to us that you get the boat that will make you happy. Along the way, you will have the benefit of our decades of experience in construction and design, as well as our first-hand knowledge of recreational boating.

commissioners have been working very hard to see that the Waters Trails happen for the recreational opportunities it brings, and for the economic ecotourism that comes along with it.”

In dollars, the county has spent about $50,000 in improving amenities along the trail, plus staff time. And there has been more than 10,000 volunteer hours put toward the project in the past three to five years.

Leading the pack of volunteers is John Kuntz, owner of Olympic Outdoors Center in Port Gamble.

Wolfe said he was the power behind the formation of the Kitsap Peninsula Water Trails. Kuntz has been paddling in Kitsap County since 1996 and in 2008 he joined the North Kitsap Trails Association to work on trails on land and water.

“John has been passionate and persistent about the Water Trails,” said Wolfe. “He has so much to do with everything that has happened.” Kuntz said

KITSAP PENINSULA WATER TRAILS FESTIVAL

the water trails is a dream come true for him.

“It is something that I never imagined would happen but believed it could,” he said. “To take an idea I had almost 20 years ago and have invested thousands of hours of my time and many others and transform it into a reality is very gratifying and humbling.

“The thing that occurs to me most is how passionate and sincere this movement has become.

It is truly everyone’s trail that touches so many lives and improves our quality of life through recreation, eco-tourism, environment, education, and more.”

Kuntz estimates that paddling-related activities bring $1.7 million annually to the Kitsap County economy. Wolfe thinks that’s just one of the great things about the water trails getting so much attention.

“Kitsap used to be known as the ‘Gateway to the Olympics,’ ” said Wolfe.

“That’s true. But now we are a destination in and of ourselves.”

People come here and stay here for recreation, he said. That means they spend their dollars at local hotels and restaurants, too.

But, he said, it’s a quality

of life issue, too.

“For people who live here, it’s a big deal,” he said. “They crave outdoor experiences. And it gives people a reason to stay here for their entertainment.”

He added that “natural pursuits” have brought companies like REI, Inc. to the area. A grant by REI was used to create the signage all along the water trails, he added.

While great strides have been made with the Water Trails creation, the work isn’t finished. The Water Trails Alliance, a group of about 60 members, will oversee any future growth.

Baker said the alliance will communicate with shoreline owners and recreators along the route in addressing issues that may face the water trails. Such things as keeping trail and rest stop standards equal and adding points to the trail are among things they will oversee.

All jurisdictions that have shoreline along the water trails are represented in the group, including the county, several port district, four Kitsap County cities, Gig Harbor, the community of Union, Visit Kitsap, Mason County, and Kuntz.

Festival

Continued from page 12 can summon emergency help.

By establishing the National Kitsap Peninsula Water Trails, Kitsap is inviting people to come and paddle our beautiful waterways. But bad weather and dangerous water conditions are always a possibility. While it is ultimately up to the individual to paddle responsibly, the Water Trails Festival Committee sees the festival as an opportunity help people learn to paddle safer.

So, Olympic Outdoor Center will be offering paddling and equipment instruction in Silverdale on June 27 and Bremerton West Marine will participate in a paddling basics class on June 28 at Brownsville.

Additionally, safety boats will accompany the two free paddles originating from Brownsville — the Brownsville Brownie Challenge Paddle for

experienced paddlers on June 27, and the Keys to Keyport Fun Paddle and Raffle for beginners on June 28.

SPOT will be going along on both paddles. It is the festival organizers’ hope that, when people see how well SPOT works — and how affordable it is — serious kayakers will purchase their own, and outfitters and ports along the Water Trails will make SPOT or similar products available for rent.

To learn more and to see SPOT in action, visit the SPOT booth in Silverdale June 27 and in Brownsville on June 28.

Glamping on the Kitsap Water Trails Even the most die-hard, back-to-basics paddler can crave some creature comforts after a hard day’s paddle — glamour camping or “glamping,” if you will.

Owlsen is an 11 yr old male blue point Siamese who came to us due to his owners’ divorce. He is described as a total lover, snuggler, and cuddler who loves to sit on your lap. He was one of 12 cats in the household. There were dogs there too which he chose to ignore. He would like to be an indoor only cat. You can meet Owlsen at the Poulsbo Petco this week. He’s ready to go to his new home.

Brownsville, Keyport and Silverdale are National Kitsap Peninsula Water Trails destinations that offer three distinctive glamping styles to choose from.

Arriving by human-powered craft is the only way you can get a tent-camping site in the Port of Brownsville’s beautiful Burke Bay Overlook Park.

Free firewood, a giant fire pit, picnic tables, showers and restrooms, recreational games and a gazebo shelter for those really wet nights (it does rain in Washington) are just the beginning.

There’s the deli, famous for its giant sandwiches and music on Friday nights, the Daily Stop convenience store and the Host Boat, whose staff offer you concierge services including first aid.

Full Moon: Sun in Cancer/Moon in Capricorn July 1, 7:12 p.m. ummertime and the livin’ is easy! You can count on two things during summer: memories of summers past, and our routines lighten up.

How can you not stop and smell the roses when they are in bloom, the sky is blue and the temperature is perfect?

Summer events gather the family. We take time off work on July 3 for the road trip to grandparents, the fishing trip with a brother, time at the cabin with cousins and barbecue on patios with friends.

Reigning over these festivities and blessing new memories sits the lovely Cancer, Queen of the clan.

STARS ABOVE KITSAP SUZANNE O’CLAIR

As the “owner” of the moon, Cancer intensifies this full moon, which is in Capricorn, the sign that escorts Winter Solstice in.

Considering that winter is one long opportunity to lose our lives in the dark and cold, you can imagine that Capricorn’s approach is 180 degrees different from Cancer. His concern is the welfare of the entire community. He wrestles with collective issues and getting the job done.

Emotions are not needed for pragmatic endeavors.

In the light of this moon, we consider our place between Cancer, the great mother, and Capricorn, the great father. Which end of the seesaw do you lean toward — duty or feelings, personal con-

cerns or community focus, what we feel or what they think? Where are you out of balance?

Crafting a lifestyle that works for you is selfcare (Cancer) at its best.

Summertime gives us a chance to ponder these conundrums. Bonus planets help this full moon guide where our hearts want to go at home and on the job. Get busy feeling your way down the path.

Horoscopes Cancer (June 21-July 22), you’ll fight for family, no question! But will you fight for your true self with close friends and partners? If “equal partnerships” are taking advantage of your need for approval, you may want to do work around the usual suspects — mother/ father, give/take. Self-care or crabby moods.

Untangle this with an older friend because acting it out will make you the child. (It feels personal because the confusion is in you.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20), travel, even for work, may look like all fun, but the hanging out and chatting is activating tender desires about “home.”

Imagine the life you want.

Home is an asset. Try it!

Gemini (May 21June 20), continue exploring options. The right situation feels right and brings financial and emotional security. Don’t let old family wounds keep you from seeing what the right hand is doing. Call, text, drop by old friends.
