Police station proposal needs 60-percent ‘yes’ vote to pass BY BRIAN KELLY

Bainbridge Island 4-H chicken costume contest returns to farmers market Fine-looking fowl, one decked out duck and a full parade of pretty poultry turned out to the Bainbridge Island Farmers Market last weekend to strut their stuff in the 8th annual Poultry Pageant Costume Contest. The pageant, sponsored by the farmers market and the Bainbridge 4-H Club, featured about a dozen birds in various costumes competing for the first place prize, as chosen by a crowd vote for their favorite getup. Costumes included birds bedecked in the guise of Santa Claus — complete with human elf assistant — a jail bird, James Bond, a peacock and many more.
An already controversial proposal for Bainbridge voters — a $15 million bond sale that would pay for a new police station and municipal court next to Bainbridge Island City Hall — was hit with an unexpected “October surprise” in the weeks leading up to Tuesday’s General Election. The shocker came from inside, however, as city officials recently announced the piece of land eyed for the new facility was highly contaminated and polluted with chemicals that had been dumped at a former dry cleaning business on the property. Proposition 1, the ballot measure for a 20-year bond sale to pay for a new police station to replace the city’s aging and cramped building on Winslow Way, was

Critics of the proposal — a wide-ranging group that includes tax-beleaguered islanders, former city officials and even one candidate for the council — say Prop. 1 is too pricey and ill-conceived. Supporters, however, say there’s no question about the need for a new facility, and its proposed location next to city hall is the best option available.

Dear BSF, all I want for Christmas is 60 fetal pigs BHS club examines, delves into science that doesn’t yet exist BY JESSICA SHELTON Bainbridge Island Review
They develop vaccines; they construct synthetic skin; they perform open heart surgery — and then they head off to soccer practice. Who is this cadre of scientists? That would be Bainbridge High School’s Biomedical Engineering club. Every other Thursday, they gather in Charisa Moore’s classroom to conduct experiments, collect data and design solutions to a variety of
medical-related problems. This month, Moore’s team of 90 partnered with the Center for Infectious Disease Research, formerly Seattle BioMed, in their Stage 3 trial for a malaria vaccine. Armed with brand new 1000x-power fluorescent microscopes, students counted the number of infected blood cells in mice exposed to the mosquito-borne disease — albeit, not without a few hurdles. “We’re not sure if they’re specks or actual malaria contamination,” one junior said of the four cells her group counted. Others, like Leah Potter and Ashley Alnwick, two of the club’s officers, struggled to see anything.
Turns out the view can appear cloudy when lenses are loose. But a third pair found their groove in the monotony; they were so immersed in their cells that Moore had to kick them out after the rest of the club had left. “I’m like, ‘Really? You’re the less than 1 percent of kids that will have this job.’” Those moments are the reason that Moore created the club in the first place. “We sit in classrooms every day and kids don’t really have an idea of what’s career-related out there,” said Moore, who is also a biology teacher and the National Honor TURN TO BSF | A34
