Island copper theft

NO IMPAC T WEEK

Construction begins for PSE New power line will bolster electric reliability; 51 trees remain at risk

On a national scale, copper theft has been deemed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a threat to national infrastructure. On a local level, the thievery is causing its own set of headaches for Bainbridge law enforcement, city personnel and local homeowners who find themselves victims of criminals who wreak havoc by cashing in on a metal at the core foundation of homes, buildings and government infrastructure. A puttering economy and near-record prices for copper, platinum and other metals have triggered an increase in theft of items such as wire and piping, which are melted down and sold to scrap yards by the pound for quick cash. “It can be a big score for

The fate of 51 trees still remain in jeopardy, but Puget Sound Energy has decided to reroute its planned construction project in the Winslow area after a community backlash of questions and frustration. PSE has said that a new distribution line running from the Murden Cove substation off Sportsman Club Road down to the intersection of High School Road and Madison Avenue would improve electric reliability and relieve a heavily loaded power line. The proposed construction, however, was met with anguish among neighbors who feared losing the trees lining their neighborhood along the right-of-way. During an August council meeting, several North Town neighbors came forward to speak against the project, and several council

members also raised concerns. In response, PSE has decided to use an east-west route along Sportsman Club Road as opposed to construction solely on the east side of the road. The new route will begin on the east side of Sportsman Club and cross the street just before the North Town Woods neighborhood to the west side of the street, where it will continue down the road just past Woodward Middle School. “North Town Woods residents are happy with the rerouting and see it as a positive step by PSE,” said Lynn Long, president of the North Town Woods Homeowners Association. “We are happy about the decision, except that it would be nice if we didn’t have to take the trees down. It would be nice to avoid that, but the only way to do so is to go right down SEE PSE, A16

Islander presumed drowned after kayak flips Kayaker missing since Sept. 17 off Bainbridge. By DENNIS ANSTINE Staff Writer

The father of the 28-yearold Bainbridge Island man who is believed to have drowned in a kayak accident off Blakely Harbor said that the friend who was kayaking with him did all he could to save his son’s life. Brandon Thompson has been presumed drowned

after his kayak turned over about 200 yards off the south shore of Rockaway Beach around 9:45 p.m. on Sept. 17. According to authorities and a long-time friend who was kayaking with Thompson at the time, after Thompson’s kayak capsized he shed his lifejacket and attempted to swim ashore against the tide. The extensive search began at about 10:45 p.m. Friday and was called off at noon Saturday after Thompson’s body was not recovered. His kayak, paddle and lifejacket were

found after some 45 square miles of shoreline and water was searched by six boats and two helicopters, police said. Island resident Tim Thompson, Brandon’s father, said Wednesday that he and his wife Eva had a long conversation with their son’s friend about the accident. Tim Thompson said the friend, who owned both kayaks being used, described the accident as follows: “They went out from Blakely Harbor after 9 o’clock or so as the tide was

going out. They wanted to be on the water during a full moon. Brandon was a little ways behind and [his friend] heard a splash and turned around to see Brandon in the water. Brandon tried to right the kayak but it took in a lot of water. He got back into it to see if he could still row it, but it was too far down in the water. Then they tried to put Brandon’s kayak over [the other kayak] to get the water out of it, but they couldn’t get enough leverage to do that. “Brandon then tried to swim for shore but his pile

couldn’t keep up with the current going out.” Thompson said the friend tried to give Brandon his lifejacket, but he wouldn’t take it because he still thought he could swim ashore. “But then Brandon was beginning to shiver so [his friend] told him he’d paddle to the shore and get help. He went to the first house he saw and they called the police, then he went back out to find Brandon but he was gone. He said it took about 15 minutes between SEE KAYAKER, A16

Burglaries in Hidden Cove Residents in the Hidden Cove area have been hit with a rash of burglaries this month. Three burglaries occurred over the Sept. 16 weekend and four in the prior week. One of the burglaries was in an occupied home at approximately 2:30 a.m. on Saturday. The residents awoke to a burglar who entered the home through an unlocked second story window using a ladder from the property. According to Bainbridge Island Police Department Cmdr. Sue Shultz the burglar took a cell phone and charger from the home during the break-in.

Dems replace one island pol with another By DENNIS ANSTINE Staff Writer

Drew Hansen’s unbridled passion for politics is apparent, which is probably one reason why the Bainbridge Island resident is the newest member of the 23rd Legislative District. The Kitsap County Board of Commissioners this week appointed Hansen, a lawyer and a leader in Kitsap County’s Democratic Party, to the state House of Representatives, succeeding Christine Rolfes, who was appointed two months ago by the same board to succeed former Sen. Phil Rockefeller. Hansen had emerged from the party’s Sept. 11 caucus as the top choice of the initial six county Democrats who had sought the position, receiving 26 of the 42 votes cast in the first ballot. Commissioners said they were impressed by the volunteer work done by Hansen, who was appointed by Gov. Chris Gregoire in 2005 to the state’s Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB)

and also serves as a member of the Olympic College Foundation Board. Hansen, who grew up on Mercer Island and is a partner in the Seattle law firm of Susman Godfrey LLP, sees the appointment as an opportunity to become the public servant he had long wished to be. “Public service is a noble calling at any level and I’m just grateful to have that opportunity,” he said. “It’s very humbling to have the trust of the people who made the appointment, and I will try to win the confidence of voters throughout the district when the time comes.” That will be during next year’s election season since Hansen is committed to run for office when the position’s current term expires, which is at the end of 2012. James Olsen, a Republican and island resident who lost to Rolfes in last year’s election, has already announced his intention to run for the seat next year. Hansen has been a pre-

Drew Hansen is the new (Pos. 2) 23rd District representative. cinct officer and a member of the 23rd Legislative District Democrats’ executive board since 2007, which, he said, means he knows how to work hard. “I’ve been very active in the party, volunteering, working at the grassroots level for many years,” he said. “So I’ve knocked on a lot of doors and pulled a lot of salmon dinner tickets. Yes, I believe in building a strong local party from the bottom

up with dedicated workers.” Rolfes said she doesn’t know Hansen “real well,” but well enough to be excited about the opportunity to work with him. “He has so much energy and enthusiasm, though maybe that’s because he hasn’t been bothered by a campaign yet,” she said with a laugh. “But he has been a leader in the Democratic Party for a couple of years now and has used his enthusiasm to attract

a lot of people to it.” Rolfes said Hansen’s involvement in higher education and workforce training in Kitsap County likely will lead to him being effective in those areas. “The House has had a strong history of putting new legislators to work in areas where they have the most skills, talent and enthusiasm,” said Rolfes, who expects Hansen to be a leader in environmental, education and job training. “The No. 1 priority in the district and our county is getting people back to work by creating jobs and funding job training programs,” he said. “It’s urgent right now. We are a unified economy in the West Sound and if you forget this as a public servant you do it at your own peril.” Hansen believes it’s the responsibility of representatives to fund job training that matches workers with highly skilled and productive jobs. “I have a track record in this area as a member of the state’s economic board and

Page a3

I’m aware of the problems,” he said. “For example, we literally can’t find enough qualified engineers and nurses in our county to fill the jobs available. Our naval bases and hospitals are forced to recruit people from out of state to fill their vacancies. We need to fund higher education in areas where specific jobs are available so we can employ our own people. It’s a big problem here, but it’s solvable.” As an attorney, Hansen has focused in recent years on climate change litigation, clean energy and other environmental issues. “But I do all sorts of law,” he said. Hansen, 38, has been a Bainbridge resident since 2004 and is married with two young children. He is a graduate of Harvard and Yale Law School, and attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. The party’s second pick was Holly Mortlock, a legislative assistant from East Bremerton; Poulsbo council member Ed Stern was third.

civil Service drama continues New changes Council to create judicial process to review allegations. By JESSICA HOCH Staff writer

The City Council struggled to lead a conversation to determine the next step’s for the city’s Civil Service Commission at Wednesday’s council meeting. The discussions fell into hostile disagreement at several moments as the legislative body tried to grapple with creating a new judicial process to handle the petition from former Secretary/ Chief Examiner Kim Hendrickson to remove two of the commission’s three sitting members. The volunteer citizen committee responsible for independent oversight of

police department hires and employment decisions has been under fire since August when Hendrickson’s independent contract was terminated with the city. Last week Hendrickson filed an ethic’s complaint and a petition, following the whistleblower’s process in the city’s governance manual. The city does not have a process, however, to remove appointed commissioners from independent bodies such as the CSC, Planning Commission and Salary Commission without reason. Hendrickson has charged the commissioners with malfeasance in office and dereliction of duty and alleges: violations of the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA); acting to limit public access to commission proceedings and information; attempting to manipulate records of commis-

sion proceedings, violating rules governing temporary appointments; and putting the city at increased risk for litigation.

“It is very important that a private individual being accused of something has the opportunity to respond.” Kirsten Hytopoulos, mayor city council

Without a process in place Councilor Bob Scales fashioned a proposed process using a combination of the state law which regulates recall for elected officials and the city’s ethic compliant process. The CSC controversy has become a hot topic in the community circling allega-

tions and opinion in various blogs and email chains. It has become a symbol of community frustration for issues of transparency and trust in the Bainbridge Island Police Department. Several of the councilors stressed the importance of making sure that neither the community members or councilors are making judgment decisions about the issue without hearing both sides of the story. “This is a fact finding process,” said Mayor Kirsten Hytopoulos. “We take very seriously that these are private citizens who have volunteered for over a decade on our commission and we are having a hearing on them. It is very important that a private individual being accused of something has the opportunity to respond and present their See cIvIL SeRvIce, a23

Community organizations eager for Lodging Tax Advisory Committee funds can dream up proposals with a bigger budget thanks to the City Council’s decision to raise the maximum proposal limit from $15,000 to $100,000. After another hard year in a slow economy the council hopes the broader parameters will encourage creativity and larger-scale tourism related projects. The lodging tax is a 2 percent tax levied by the state on all overnight stays within city limits, and is doubled by the state and returned to the city. The money is given to organizations to promote tourism.

The city will dole out approximately $150,000 worth of LTAC funds for 2012 projects. The city dispersed $125,000 worth of Lodging Tax funds among 14 community organizations, including the city last year. Last year, each of the recipients were permitted to submit a proposal for no more than $15,000 worth of the funds. This year’s application limit is $100,000, and the requirement is again waived for applicants to set aside 50 percent of the funds for capital expenditures. “It has been a tough year economically so we are looking for very creative ideas to help with tourism,” See Ltac, a23

IN OUR OPINION

Should council break out swords or rubber bands?

Y

ou know you’ve been naughty when a newspaper editorial comes out with the advice that everyone who works for, oversees operations of, sets policy for, or who is either specifically or generally unhappy with – the city – should sit down, take a deep breathe, exhale, then do it again and again until your focus about what’s happening at City Hall is less blurred. There were moments of clarity during the oft-bizarre, fivehour City Council meeting Wednesday night, but when council members begin yelling at each other it’s evident there’s a problem. Take a side and join if you wish, but it’s about time the increasingly hardened line between one group of councilors and another is erased by the sides trying to find some middle ground. The problem, it seems, is that both sides are righteous believers of their rigidly self-righteous stances on a variety of issues that have grown monumentally disproportionate during the second year that this council and manager have been thrown together by the voters. Not everyone wants to admit that the actual mix of the sevenmember council might have something to do with its current dysfunctional mode, but the split between one side (four council lawyers and a lawyer manager) and the other (three who are not lawyers) seems to evolve around who is right and who isn’t right, so help me judge. Sound familiar? There may be doubt among some of you that this an overreaction, but it wouldn’t hurt if council members – sitting in a semi-circle, holding hands and humming “Kumbaya” – watched Wednesday’s meeting, and then replayed the occasions when the audience enjoyed a belly laugh over the proceedings they were witnessing. Yes, you’re becoming a laughing-stock and it’s time to end this childish behavior. This is serious business, perhaps, but not that serious. Besides, the audience is about ready to turn the channel.

LETTERS SMP

Home is threatened by city’s shoreline stance My husband and I recently bought a house on Point Monroe - The “Sand Spit.” We have lived on Bainbridge Island 25 years and finally have a place on the water where we could have a boat, go swimming and crabbing. Little did we know that the city’s Planning Department would newly designate our property a Shoreline Residential Conservancy and our waterway an Aquatic Conservancy, as part of updating the Shoreline Management Plan (SMP). This designation goes way beyond what the state of Washington is requiring for the SMP. This means that our right to maintain, update and renovate our property – our house and our dock – will be significantly compromised. In an Aquatic Conservancy we may not be able to bring our boat to our dock (nor will anyone who enjoys boating into the Spit Lagoon or other island bays like Fletcher Bay or Murden Cove, also being considered for this designation). As a boater, I would hate not to be able to access these desirable protected bays. In a Shoreline Residential Conservancy (being considered for 42 percent of the island’s shorelines), many existing, lawfully built houses will be deemed nonconforming and the owners’ ability to repair or replace them will be threatened also. This will significantly take way our property rights and values. We are all lovers of this environment and want to protect it. There

are many other avenues to protect the shoreline environment, such as controlling runoff and pollution so that we are all sharing the cost of environmental protection. How can the city just take way our property rights and values? Do you want to pay for the litigation by the shoreline residents that will be inevitable? Please support us in our fight to protect our property rights. It may be your property next. Bonnie Dekker Bainbridge Island

Port of Bainbridge Island

Positives outweigh likelihood of misconduct I wish to thank Richard Buchanan for his letter (“A ‘no’ vote for formation of junior taxing agency,” Sept. 16) in the Review about the proposed Port of Bainbridge Island, although I’m afraid I can’t agree with his conclusions. As Mr. Buchanan rightly points out, ports in Washington have broad powers, including the ability to levy taxes, issue bonds and assume responsibility for water-related resources. These powers are used by port districts around the state, in accordance with input from local residents, to provide important public shoreline access, recreational facilities and economic opportunity. According to the Washington Public Ports Association, ports have created 150,000 jobs since 1990, preserved 2,000 acres of wetlands in the last five years, and enhanced 18 fisheries habitats. Rather than being an argument

against forming a port, I submit that these powers are exactly what makes ports so effective, and are in fact strong arguments in favor of creating a port district here. Could the dire outcomes Mr. Buchanan predicts actually occur here? Could the commissioners run amok, wreaking social and economic havoc on the island? Of course — anything is possible. Is it likely? No. The five commissioners would be elected by Bainbridge voters to address Bainbridge needs. Advocates of the port have proposed we have five commissioners, rather than the three that is typical for Washington port districts, plus a Port Advisory Committee – as in Port Townsend, Olympia and Manchester – in order to maximize public input and minimize the likelihood of abuse. COBI is currently responsible for our shoreline resources, but has no funds for needed projects and few prospects for raising any. The Port of Bainbridge Island would have both, by virtue of a very modest tax and the ability to leverage those funds through access to grants and other alternative funding sources available only to ports. Port advocates are proposing a tax rate of 11 cents per thousand, or about $55 for the average home — hardly a financial burden. The proposed port district has the potential to revitalize our waterfront, and in the process bring increased economic activity to the island. Washington ports are proven economic engines and are important assets to their communities. Bainbridge deserves the same. Richard Randall Bainbridge Island

CROP Hunger Walk supports Letters due many, including local households Improvements to public support Public library

We recently recognized the 10th anniversary of one of the most devastating single days in the history of the United States. Sept. 11, 2011, left our country with a feeling of sadness, helplessness, and anger – all wrapped into one. As I contemplated my annual words to the Review readers in support of the Bainbridge/North Kitsap CROP Hunger Walk, I kept remembering the words of one of the 9-11 citizen heroes who helped carry a woman and her wheelchair down several flights of stairs in one of the World Trade Center towers. He talked about how to be a hero today: “What better way to memorialize those firemen. ... Go out and help others. It doesn’t take much to just be considerate of others – putting them first sometimes.” What amazing words … and what perfect words for the world today. How can each of us be a hero in this world? One direction is obvious to me – and conveniently the topic of my column today – support the BI/NK CROP Hunger Walk, which is scheduled for Oct. 2 this year. The event primarily ben-

But the actual CROP Hunger Walk is still the answer, to the aforementioned question. Twenty-five percent of the funds earned each year by the BI/NK CROP Hunger Walk stays right in the community. Twenty percent goes to Helpline House on Bainbridge and 5 percent supports Poulsbo’s Fishline. So, if the local walk earns $50,000 (our goal this year), that’s $10,000 going right to Helpline House. And you would be amazed how many folks would view your con-

tributions as worthy of hero status. For those who might be thinking hunger is only a problem outside of our community – somewhere else like other countries or other cities – think again. In August alone, a total of 386 Bainbridge Island households (2,071 islanders) utilized the Helpline food bank. In addition to the walk itself, CROP Hunger Walk funds are raised through Restaurant Day. On Thursday, Sept. 29, several Bainbridge Island restaurants are offering a portion of their receipts for CROP Walk. Here’s a list of the restaurants working with the local walk this year – Cafe Nola, Casa Rojas, Commuter Comforts, Doc’s Marina Grill, Emmy’s Vege House, Four Swallows, Harbour Public House, Hitchcock, Local Harvest, Modern Pie, Mora Iced Creamery, New Rose Café, Pegasus Coffee House, San Carlos Restaurant, Sawatdy Thai Cuisine, Streamliner Diner, SuBI, That’s A Some Pizza and Treehouse Café. Don’t forget to say “thank you” to the restaurant managers. This is a great program, and we’re lucky to have such fine business folks in

our community. Part of the amazing success of the BI/NK CROP Hunger Walk was bolstered several years ago with the emergence of a true angel – a donor who will match every dollar earned by walkers. So, when you are pledging to the walk this year – think, again, about that doubling magic. If you can’t make it out on Oct. 2, contact a walker and offer a pledge. And eat out on Sept. 23, too. Or, you can go to www. cropwalkonline.org, navigate to the Bainbridge walk, and donate online. The first CROP Hunger Walk, which took place late in 1969, was actually put together as a bit of a protest regarding the fight against world hunger. As people of faith, the organizers challenged, we can do better at this. Over 40 years later, we are doing better – but the battle is far from over.

Roundabout

Confusing, but just keep on driving The very first time I encountered a traffic circle was in Alsace, France, where I was piloting a German rental car. Entering this circle (or roundabout) was a confusing moment, since a French car entered it ahead of me to the right at the same time. So, I stopped in the circle, which totally surprised the French driver. Looking at my German license plate, he must have wondered what the heck is going on? This is not how Germans drive. This brings me to our own lone traffic circle, which is fun to navigate. But a lot of drivers, being American, seem as confused as I was the first time. I think the idea is to feed into the existing traffic if any, rather than stopping at the entry to the circle – allowing, of course, plenty of room in case there is a care already in the circle. There are no stop signs there for a purpose. Now I got that off my chest, so look out when you see me coming. Hank Hays Bainbridge Island

LETTERS Consensus?

Rare, but possible even on Bainbridge I cornered a few oldtimers who agreed without digital prompt that we can still get a consensus per the Review editorial (“What makes Bainbridge special?” Sept. 16). Usually it takes two or three tries. First, our manhole covers clank. Their second was, yes, we have too many lawyers. Also, we’ve had more sustained, intimate relationships with Seattle commuters than expected. We’ve got complected with banks coming and going since our first two. Our developers study daily and blog about our modern midden more closely than officials admit. Many of us take for granted what’s done was achieved without schism. We neglect how many subsidies from privately funded car washes and July 4th booths it took. When it counted before this last one, we voted against a city manager. We paid for it. We’ve lost our usual mer-

chant sleeping dogs askew in parking places downtown once the Chamber of Commerce preferred PAWS cat ads and a lot more motor vehicles. The visits of parents who stay for good have increased. The old-timers didn’t mince insight about our past consensus getting, like 20 years ago when self-choice home rule barely passed on a third try. Kitsap County planners say they partied across the bridge the same night at having gotten rid of us. It took nearly two years to send across all our dispute files. Some wanted to start these disputes all over again. We took a one-year rest. It makes you think our pretentious shoulder chips on each side of our heads are natural. Otherwise, we’d have moved away. Border-town dwellers on a water divide between two worlds out West are usually more roughneck as they engage the more precise. Those of us who stick around get curious about what the next consensus could be. R.O. Conoley Bainbridge Island

Water utility should stay put Like many of you, I’m a taxpayer and a utility ratepayer on Bainbridge Island, and, as your at-large City Council member, I’ve got good news about our city’s water utility. This month, the council reduced Winslow water rates by 34 percent, which will save 2,330 water customers about $750,000 each year – about $320 annually per customer. Furthermore, the council asked the citizen volunteers on our Utility Advisory Committee (UAC) to consider a further rate reduction soon. I’m in favor of a secondstep reduction – 45 percent in all – which independent experts report is achievable. The rate reduction is the latest in a series of financial and management improvements since 2009 when the city appointed citizen experts to a new UAC. I’ve served as a council liaison to the UAC ever since. Here are some accomplishments: • As UAC recommended in 2009, we froze water rates and kept them flat

GUEST COLUMN By BARRY PETERS

until reducing them this month. This rate reduction was made possible by the appeals court rejecting the Ratepayer Alliance lawsuit that had blocked the city’s utility financing for 18 months, and our persuading Moody’s of the city’s improved finances. • We’ve worked to achieve efficiencies, reducing utility staff from 10.2 (FTE) in 2009, to 7.5 in 2010 and to 6.5 this year. We’ve reduced operating expenses by onefourth. Our excellent city manager, hired June 2010, says we can further reduce utility staffing to 4.5 next year. • To the extent that water revenue exceeded annual utility costs, we’ve put the extra dollars into the water fund’s separate account, where those multi-million dollar reserves will cover the next five to six years of infrastructure improve-

ments without debt. Amidst these sustainable finances and management efficiencies of our new council-manager form of government, we continue to hear skepticism from some who’d rather fight over the past, rather than work constructively going forward. Last Friday’s guest column was written by Dick Allen of the mostly anonymous Ratepayers Alliance group that filed a lawsuit against the city in April 2009. He speaks for a lawsuit that has already cost our community nearly $400,000 in legal costs and has nearly drove the sewer utility to insolvency, thereby preventing the burying of electric wires on Winslow Way and which lost twice in trial and appeals court on the theory that our sewer plant upgrade financing should be stopped. And now Dick says we should give away our water utility at a zero purchase price to a county-wide gov-

ernment entity (KPUD) where our community has no one on the board. This month’s report of independent experts shows that our city can run the utility next year at a lower cost to ratepayers than KPUD. Furthermore, giving away the water utility to KPUD could hurt Winslow ratepayers by making operations of our sister sewer utility less efficient – and no agency is offering to take over our sewer utility. Please take a new look at what the city is achieving lately, and don’t be misled by the claims of a group that seems to want to drive our community’s policies by threatening more years of costly litigation expenses, rather than by collaboratively engaging in an open public process with the rest of us. Barry Peters is the city’s at-large council member and is currently running for reelection.

Puget Sound Energy to improve electric reliability for customers in Winslow and surrounding areas

Construction along Sportsman Club Road to affect traffic To improve electric reliability for our Winslowarea customers, Puget Sound Energy will be constructing a new underground power line in the public right of way along Sportsman Club Road between our Murden Cove substation (9560 Sportsman Club Road) and NE New Brooklyn Road. The construction work will likely cause some traffic impacts.

Yippee. Artie & Joyce Rogers requestaquote@RogersFamilyInsurance.com

The work, which is expected to begin the week of Oct. 3 and last through the end of the year, will take place Mondays through Fridays from approximately 6:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and Saturdays from approximately 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; no heavy equipment or loud noises will take place prior to 7 a.m. Some select activities, however, may take place after 3 p.m. on weekdays when school is not in session or after 6 p.m. on Saturdays. Signs and flaggers will help direct traffic around PSE crews; at times, traffic will be limited to one lane.

Now offering PEMCO Insurance. Call today for a no-obligation insurance review.

The new underground power line will provide a source of power to 1,600 customers and the downtown core that allows greater capacity to meet local energy needs during high demand days, such as cold winter weather, and more flexibility to switch customers to different power sources in the event of an outage.

criminals depending on the cost per pound,” said BIPD Det. Trevor Ziemba. “It’s all drug related for criminals to get their fix.” Ziemba estimated there have been at least a halfdozen copper thefts on the island in the last two months. Public Works Director Lance Newkirk said the city was victimized in at least two copper and scrap metal thefts in the last six months. There has been a direct loss of about $2,000 in material losses, plus various displaced operational costs for labor to replace locks and copper wire cord that was cut and stolen from an emergency power generator. Pump houses and copper wire meters were taken from city property; copper material has been lifted from the Washington State Ferry

shipyard as well as the creosote plant and businesses; and construction cites have also experienced theft. Vacant island homes have been a targeted and in one case, Ziemba said, it eventually resulted in the homeowner losing the home in a short sale after suffering more than $30,000 in damages. Thieves score copper from vacant homes by dismantling heat exchanges, cutting wires and tearing down copper piping. Since copper lacks a serial number it makes it that much more difficult for the police to track down where the raw materials are going, Ziemba said. Local copper is being sold in Bremerton and in various metal scrap yards in Tacoma and out of state, he said. Bainbridge police have yet to make any significant arrests. Investigations are ongoing in Bainbridge and greater Kitsap County. Copper and other metal theft are taking on the form of both organized crime and

FBI released an unclassified report declaring copper theft as a major threat to basic functions of U.S. infrastructure, including electrical substations, cellular towers, railroads, crops and telephone lines. The FBI report outlined an instance in which citizens in the town of Jackson,

Miss., weren’t alerted to a tornado in April 2007 after the copper wiring for the sirens was stolen. Farmers in Arizona reportedly a loss of $10 million in damages after irrigation wells and pumps were stripped of their copper pipes. The New York Times outlined a dire situation in Fresno, Calif., where the city decided to seal thousands of its manhole covers with concrete to deter thieves. In Picher, Okla., utility poles were taken down with a chain saw and thieves made off with 3,000 feet of wire, leaving citizens in a blackout. In December 2010, the City of Tacoma was struck with more $250,000 in loses after thieves pulled the copper wire out of conduits in the mechanical room in the Murray Morgan Bridge. It left the bridge stuck in the down position, and the thieves left with some 300 pounds of copper and a salvaged value of about $3 a pound at the time.

Protect against theft “The No. 1 thing citizens must do is to simply lock your doors,” said Ziemba. “Lock your things up. If you have thousands of dollars worth of copper then don’t buy a $10 lock to secure it. Invest in a security system and protect yourself.” Ziemba also asked citi-

zens to be alert for situations that seem out of place. Especially for realtors who conduct open houses, since thieves may use them as an opportunity to case houses will posing as a prospective homebuyer, Ziemba said. “Just be aware and if you see something suspicious pay attention and report it,” said Ziemba. Newkirk said the city has worked with the police department to improve facility lighting, upgrade security locks, increase police patrols and raise public awareness. “Copper and scrap metal theft is a national problem that has recently manifested itself locally,” said Newkirk. “We continue to work with local law enforcement to identify the risks or threats to our infrastructure and will take appropriate security measures to mitigate those risks.” Gov. Christine Gregoire signed Senate Bill 5312 in 2007 to increase penalties for metal thieves, including making it a misdemeanor for scrap-metal dealers to knowingly do business with a person convicted of a crime involving methamphetamine. It also requires businesses to obtain personal information on the seller, including driver’s license number, cell phone, address and description of the seller’s license and vehicle.

Volunteers groomed the grounds at Johnson Farm including the apple orchard in preparation for the annual Harvest Fair Sunday. By CONNIE MEARS Staff Writer

Surely a mere 10 sunny days doesn’t constitute summer, but like it or not, we’re at the fall equinox. And on Bainbridge, that means one thing: it’s Harvest Fair time. The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts more clouds than sun on Sunday with highs in the mid-70s.

Based on the turnout of volunteers for the popular annual celebration, it is indeed an all-ages event. “We have parents and kids, Honor Society students, Rotarians, members of Cross Sound Church, plus the regulars who come year after year,” said event coordinator Kathy Haskin. “We have volunteers from 6 years

old to some in their 70s.” The multi-generational crew will be again sporting the color-coded Bay Hay & Feed T-shirts for easy identification. Fair-goers can expect the tried-and-true: non-stop music, food, pony and carriage rides, the landslide and petting zoo. You can learn a lot about homesteading

skills, too – such as sheepshearing, vermiculture, beekeeping, chicken tending, yarn spinning, canning and cider making. You can even practice your primitive S’more-making techniques at the firepit. The biggest change in the fair this year is the hours, which end at 5 p.m. instead of the usual 6 p.m.

He was also contracted to grow seedlings to reforest the island after it had been clearcut in the late 1800s. As the farm continued to expand after World War II, Andrew’s grandson, Harvey Johnson, introduced grapes, a fruit and nut orchard and beekeeping. In his later years, Harvey

invited the community to enjoy the land allowing families to fish in his pond and 4-H groups to use the fields for agriculture projects. Before he died in 2000, Harvey made his wishes known that he wanted the land preserved for agriculture and public use. By this time, portions of the property had been sold, leaving about 19.75 acres. After he died, neighbors collaborated with the City of Bainbridge Island and The Trust for Public Land to preserve 14.5 acres for agricul-

tural purposes. Trust for Working Landscapes began in 2001 in an effort to assist in preserving and protecting the newly acquired public farmland. In 2010, TWL changed its name to Friends of the Farms and works closely with the farming community to assist with the management of 60 acres of public farmland owned by the City of Bainbridge Island, including Johnson Farm. Johnson Farm is tended by Rob Ferguson and Kia Micaud who live just above

the property. Instrumental in getting the property reserved, they have been volunteers for more than 10 years and lead the volunteer efforts to maintain the property. Throughout the year, Ferguson and other volunteers maintain the orchard, remove invasives, built the pea-patch fence and helps with security. Johnson Farm provides open space, small scale commercial farming, a designated wildlife corridor, trails, public pea-patches and a home for the annual Harvest Fair.

Coworking, Office Xpats come to Bainbridge By JESSICA HOCH Staff writer

Imagine an office space with a revolving cast of independently-minded entrepreneurs who are encouraged to grow business ideas at the water cooler, and may occasionally break out for yoga in the middle of the day. Though it sounds like the office environment made popular via tech companies such as Google and Facebook; it’s not. Jason Omens and Leslie Schneider, co-owners of OfficeXpats have dreamed up a coworking space in the Pavilion and are hoping to build a community of local entrepreneurs looking to get out of their home offices and coffee shops and into a flexible working space. The “coworking” model, a fast-growing global phenomenon, is transforming

the way freelancers, remote employees and entrepreneurs work on a day-to-day basis. Bainbridge Island now has one of the roughly 800 coworking spaces worldwide. “It can be somewhat lonely and isolating to work from home day in and day out,” said Leif Utne, an Office Xpat member. “But to have a place with shared amenities to get your work done, and get out of your pajamas works not just on a transactional level to get business done, but on a personal level to mix and mingle with peers who are also independent workers.” Omens and Schneider, who live together on the island, trolled Bainbridge for several months to find a space to open up their business. At first they hoped for a spot in Island Gateway, but when that fell through the space formerly occupied

Office Xpats workers celebrated its grand opening last week.

BUSINESS BRIEFING Metro Market finds a new home Metro Market, a catering and café business, is moving from its industrial park location off Miller Road to a new space in the Coppertop complex off Sportsman Club Road. The business, owned by Robert Freitag and Jason Devinney, expects to move into the larger space soon with the café opening in late October. Freitag, who has been operating a catering business on the island since 1993, said the building

located in the center of the complex near a grassy open area will provide an additional 500 square feet of space. “We’ll have seating for about 18 people inside and more seating outside during good weather,” he said. “We’ll have expanded take-out options for lunch and dinner with a cold deli case.” Catering and take-out food were the business’s primary components since it was relocated to the industrial park since there was no café seating. Freitag said that soups,

by KidsUp opened and an opportunity was born. The former kids play area has been transformed into a modern work space with several conference rooms, work spaces of various sizes, a large gathering room, a kitchen and even a quiet phone booth that doubles as a nap room. The concept is to share the space, among a revolng group of members who will utilize the space as their business needs require. The lowest rung of membership allows three uses of the space per month, while the highest membership provides 24/7 access to the facility. With hundreds of islanders commuting to Seattle back and forth for work, and many independent workers who choose Bainbridge as a great place to work from home, Schneider said it felt natural to have a platform where those workers could gather, meet clients, hold meetings or just find a desk and some peace and quiet away from home, yet in a social setting. For someone such as Utne, who works remotely for a software start-up in Minneapolis called Zanby with software engineers in eastern Europe, Office Xpats provides the space he needs to make phone calls, get out of his pajamas and focus on work. A bit of a coworking expert himself, Utne has worked in spaces from San Francisco to Austin, Texas

salads and sandwiches will continue to be the eatery’s staples, but there will be more of a variety. “The biggest thing is that we’ll be more user friendly and offer a more congenial experience for our customers,” he said. “We couldn’t expand (at the current location) and there’s limited parking. Plus, it’s not easy for our customers to find us.” Another plus, he said, is that new building has been vacant “so we can redesign the space more for our own needs. That’s kind of nice.” He also hopes to host events and cooking classes in the new space.

and was eager to join the new space just two blocks from his island home. “Coworking is sink or swim based on a shared sense of c om mu n it y,” said Utne. “It’s Courtesy Photo much more than just rent- Co-owners Jason Omens, Leslie Schneider ing a desk. It is about developideas amongst varied backing a sense of ownership grounds and expertise. and community within the Omens referred to it as space.” “matchmaking for business” Another perk, Utne a place to foster “accelersays is the opportunity to ated serendipity,” as it procross-pollinate business vides an opportunity for

entrepreneurs to engage in the casual interaction that breeds new ideas. The casual environments where employers mix work and play have been fostered particularly in tech companies to serve a dualgoal purpose of boosting the “cool” factor while also providing the right environment to stimulate creativity. Schneider and Omens plan to add office perks such as midday yoga, haircuts and even massage therapy. Optional weekday meetings are also in the works for member collaboration on See XpatS, a22

Actors from Theater Simple in Seattle dressed as characters from “Alice in Wonderland” to make the wish of 10-year old Robin Hall (center), suffering from a life-threatening brain tumor, come true. The Make-A-Wish Foundation organized the event at Bloedel Reserve, which was chosen as the perfect setting for Hall’s magical adventure. Hall, her brother Nick and her parents Jennifer Thames and Mike Hall were thrilled and touched by the delightful event, said Kate Gormley of the Reserve. In costume, the actors guided Robin through a series of riddles, challenges and games in different parts of the garden.

What’s happening Seattle Opera Preview: For more than 30 years opera aficionado Norm Hollingshead has been leading Opera Previews throughout the region in anticipation of each Seattle Opera production. At the Bainbridge Public Library from 2 to 4 p.m. Sept. 24, he’ll present information about “Carmen,” Georges Bizet’s sexy thriller about a soldier’s ill-fated obsession with the ultimate femme fatale. Hollingshead considers it one of the most popular two or three operas of all time.

“Ever since its premiere in 1875, Carmen’s glorious melodies have conjured up images of a fantasy Spain: sun-baked plazas and red tile roofs, sexy gypsies and handsome matadors for generations of opera-lovers,” Hollingshead writes on his opera website. Seattle Opera’s production of Carmen is Oct. 15. The presentation is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www. krl.org or Hollingshead’s website at www.normsoperaplus.com.

Sharing key to Bainbridge “no Impact week” By CONNIE MEARS Staff Writer

Bainbridge Island resident Liesl Clark has a bumper crop of turnips this year and more than enough fresh eggs. She could use a new loft bed for her son. Rebecca Rockefeller needs some jeans. She has a new recipe for home-made energy bars. Working together, the women get their needs met with a little old-fashioned give and take. The women started Bainbridge Barter, a weekly 10 a.m. gathering at Waterfront Park where folks practice the art of sharing. The assemblage is mostly produce, a few baked goods, homemade jams and pasta, vegetable starts and the like. One woman even brought a load of Dungeness crab.

Participants bring something and take something. Simple as that. “It’s a gifting mentality,” Rockefeller said Wednesday at the Rock Farm, the community garden on her parents property. “It’s like a potluck.” “At first we told people to bring things with a value in $5 increments,” Clark said. “Within a few minutes of laying it all out, we realized we didn’t need to do that. One woman said she only needed three eggs.” The concept of thinking of people solely as “consumers” is relatively new, Rockefeller said. “Money was invented to fuel long-distance transactions and larger-scale exchanges.” “I see value in people defining themselves based on their special skill,” Clark said. In

other words, what they have to contribute. She said not that long ago, people were known for their trade. For instance, the Smiths were the people with metal skills. Most towns had a family named the Weavers, the Shoemakers, the Bakers. And much of what those families needed was exchanged for services, their “trade.” The two women also use the website “freecylce Bainbridge,” which connects islanders who need something with someone who has it to give, and vice versa. Clark logged on, listed her need for a new bed and found someone who had one for free, if she was able to come “right now and get it.” Rockefeller listed “jeans” under the “wanted” category, and sure enough, people responded with offers

of gently used jeans. Another benefit to sharing is a lower impact lifestyle said the women, both of whom are participating in Bainbridgebased YES! Magazine’s “No Impact Week” challenge. Similar to last January’s event, participants are encouraged to reduce their carbon footprint by focusing on one aspect of their life per day. The areas of interest were consumption, trash, transportation, food, energy, water, a day for giving back and celebrating an ecosabbath. Rockefeller is one of 15 bloggers to share insights about her experience of the week-long challenge which ends Sunday. Learn more at www.yesmagazine.org or www.rockfarmer.wordpress.com

Volleyball Spartans eye state tourney By DENNIS ANSTINE Staff Writer

It has been a while, but a promising start in the difficult Metro League has Bainbridge volleyball coach Julie Miller thinking this year’s team might be a state tournament qualifier. Miller should know since she’s taken five teams to state during her 12 previous years as BHS coach, including third- and fourth-place finishes in 2004 and 2006, respectively. “We’re hoping to get back this year,” Miller said following her team’s difficult five-set win over rival Bishop Blanchet on Monday. “We have five seniors back with only one starter not returning this year.” However, few wins will be easy in a league that is one of the toughest in Class 3A this season. Eastside Catholic is ranked No. 1 and Holy Names, which handed the 4-1 Spartans their only loss of the season, is seventh in the Seattle Times rankings. BHS, Bishop Blanchet and Seattle Prep are all on the bubble. “I like this team,” Miller said. “We’ve been able to work through tough times mentally and physi-

indicative of the up-and-down nature of league play as the Spartans started out well (28-26), lost the next two sets (14-25 and 22-25), then closed out the visi-

tors with winning sets of 26-24 and 20-18. Miller singled out outside hitters Nina Mutty and Sarah Dacquisto, middle hitter Kat Frickleton and libero Emma Burgess for their play, but she also likes the team’s depth. “I’ve coached most of these girls since they were 12 so nothing about them is surprising to me,” Miller said. “I think they surprise themselves sometimes, which is neat. “But they like volleyball and enjoy each other a lot,” she added. “Because of that they are able to push each other and have a lot of fun out there.” After playing Thursday at Central Kitsap and Friday at West Seattle, the Spartans will have four consecutive league games at home, including next Monday against Eastside Catholic and a rematch with Holy Names on Wednesday. The regular season ends on Oct. 12, followed by the Metro League playoffs and tournament (Oct. 21-29), the District Tournament (Nov. 3-5) and the WIAA State Tournament on Nov. 11-12. “I think we’ve got a good chance of playing at state this year,” Miller said. “I know for sure that this team will give it a good try.”

BHS boosters fundraising for sports fees A fundraising dinner to support Bainbridge High School athletes will be held Saturday, Oct. 8, at Wing Point Golf & Country Club. The “We Are Spartans Sports Dinner” is an effort by Bainbridge Boosters to raise between $15,000$20,000 to help parents pay for sports fees during the 2012-13 school year, according to Boosters board member Kathy Turner. “Because of budget problems,” Turner said, “schools came to us asking for help because they are forced to raise the fees or cut the freshman teams.” Parents currently pay $250 for sports participation fees for each child with the school paying the remaing $450. The exact increase of the fees isn’t known, Turner said, but it will probably increase more than double for each student athlete. “Student athletes represent more than 75 percent of our student body at the high school so this is important,” Turner said. The 6:30-9:30 p.m. event costs $100 per ticket and donations are also welcome. For more information, visit www.spartanboosteralumniclub.org.

Spartans top 3A cross-country foes

Both of Bainbridge Island’s cross-country teams dominated their Class 3A competitors in Wednesday’s six-team 5K run at Battle Point Park. Class 4A South Kitsap finished on top of both the girls and boys combined standings, followed by the Spartans in both competitions. The girls, led by Signe Lindquist’s second-place finish behind winner Amanda Wilson of South Kitsap, had a combined 46 points – five behind South. Lakeside was a close third with 51 points.

the middle of the road.” Long said that Councilors Debbi Lester, Hilary Franz and Kirsten Hytopoulos walked the site and helped foster discussions between the city and PSE to find alternative options. Running the feeder directly down the middle of the street would have saved the trees, he said, but it would have caused havoc with traffic as the street would have to close. According to PSE, the new one-mile underground distribution line will relieve pressure on the existing distribution feeders by dividing the existing substation demand over four feeders instead of three. Other benefits include: an underground power source for downtown; flexibility for PSE to switch customers to different power sources in an outage; and added capacity to customers on cold winter days. The distribution lines bring power directly from substations to homes and businesses, and the existing feeder served approximately 1,600 customers (approximately 3,000 islander residents), and was the fourth heaviest load in all of PSE’s service territory in the Puget Sound area. In PSE’s original construction plan, all trees in the right-of-way would have been removed. With the new route, that equates to removal of two trees on public property, and possible removal of 49 other trees on property owned by Bainbridge Island School District. PSE spokeswoman Gretchen Aliabadi said the 49 trees in jeopardy will only come down should their roots be damaged in the construction process. In moving the route to an east-west alignment, Aliabadi said, PSE will keep the trench in the public right-of-way and avoid existing underground utilities such as a water main and communication cable on the west side of Sportsman Club Road.

Existing Murden Cove substation New underground distribution line

CONTINUED FROM A1

PSE Graphic

Above, PSE plans to underground the transmission lines from the Murden Cove substation to an existing service point on High School Road. Right, a new underground line will add “express” service downtown, and will require potential removal of around 50 trees. The overhead lines will remain. “After hearing the community concerns we decided that this was something PSE could work with,” said Aliabadi. “There is an additional cost, the tree impact is similar in number and the traffic impact will be a little greater. But it is all very doable for us.” The new route will add an additional $40,000 to $70,000 to the $1 million project budget. Traffic impacts will be slightly greater as two trenches will have to be dug across the width of Sportsman Club Road and trenches at the ingress and egress of Woodward Middle School. Aliabadi said PSE looked at other options, including boring and air spading

instead of trenching, but it proved too costly. PSE considered routing down the middle of the road or along State Route 305, but neither option was feasible due to budget, permitting and construction issues. Construction was originally slated to begin during the final week of July, but was delayed when opposition to the plan arose. In hopes of providing at least some customer relief before winter, Aliabadi said the first phase of construction will begin with tree removal on the week of Oct. 3 and trenching and installation from Oct. 23 to approximately Dec. 26.

The work, which will include lane closures, will occur Monday through Friday from approximately 6:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; no heavy equipment or loud noises will take place prior to 7 a.m. However, some select activities may take place after 3 p.m. on weekdays when school is not in session or after 6 p.m. on Saturdays, according to PSE. Phase II will begin in late spring and summer 2012 to complete the underground cable portion along Northeast New Brooklyn Road and Madison Avenue North.

the time he left and came back.” Thompson said his son was a scuba diver who had done some kayaking before and was competent, but not highly experienced. “We don’t really know how it happened,” Thompson said, “because he was behind the other kayak.” The water temperature at the time of the initial search was 55 degrees with 10-knot winds and waves less than two feet, according to the Coast Guard. Thompson said he wanted to have a story written about what had happened because some people were saying the other kayaker was at fault. “Both my wife and I feel strongly that he did everything he possibly could

have done to save Brandon,” Thompson said. “We want to give him as much support as we possibly can. He’s a great person and anything we can do to ease his pain I want to do. It was just an accident.” Thompson said he was grateful for the efforts made by the police and U.S. Coast Guard to find his son’s body. “The police came and had a psychologist spend about 45 minutes with us during the search and were extremely helpful,” he said. “Everyone has been fantastic and we really appreciate that they took the time to be with us.” Police said they received a call from a Rockaway Beach resident at about 10:15 p.m. and the search began a halfhour later.

They also hope to engage with local business nonprofits such as Sustainable Bainbridge’s business network and the Bainbridge Business Connection. “We want to see if this place can effectively serve as an incubator,” said Schneider. “If it can provide the kind of vibrant exchanges and resources that a community of innovators thrives on then we are reaching out to our target. There is evidence coworking is serving as a stimulant in local economies and driver in economic development.” Over 10 such spaces exist in Seattle, and over 300 in other parts of the country. On Aug. 9 the “movement” celebrated its sixth anniversary. Brad Neuberg is credited with coining the term in 2005 with the opening of his Spiral Muse Coworking. Enthusiasts say their model is the way of the business future as independent, remote working grows as a more sustainable business model. Omens said Office Xpats is getting drop-in’s everyday from professionals in graphic design to human resources to public health. Victor Cheng, a strategic planning consultant and author who has been featured as a business expert by publications from the Wall Street Journal to MSNBC and Forbes, is an island resident who joined to utilize a second office with more space. “It is nice just to be able to spread out my work, not feel so clustered and focus,” said Cheng.

Obituary Policy The Review prints brief obituary notices up to 125 words free of charge. Information including: date of birth and death; a brief biographical sketch, including marriage; career highlights; survivors; date of memorial services and place of interment; and the name of the mortuary handling arrangements. Because obituaries are news stories, all notices are subject to editing for style, content and clarity. Photographs are encouraged, but because of space limitations, there is no guarantee that they will be published. Obituaries typically appear in the first issue after the date of death. If space does not permit, a shorter notice of death will appear, including the date of services and a statement that the full notice will appear in the subsequent issue. Because obituaries are news, the Review does not “hold” notices for a later issue at the request of the family. For purposes of clear identification, the subject’s date of birth/age must be included.

said Councilor and LTAC Chair Kim Brackett. In the past LTAC applicants have joined forces to apply for a larger pot of money in order to create projects with bigger budgets. “Business people are in desperate need for strategic promotional activities and many are hoping that LTAC funds will be used [for that purpose],” said Councilor Barry Peters. The city will continue to collect lodging tax receipts for the 2012 budget through the end of the year so the official amount of funds available for projects is not yet known. Organizations can look for the applications to be available in the next two to three weeks. Brackett said that the committee will consider allowing the applicants to present their proposal as it was well received among applicants last year. Award winners will be announced before the end of the year.

public hearing to discuss the charges and vote to remove or retain the commissioner. The proposed process, Hytopoulos said, will be used for any petition related to the city’s three independent commissions. The City Attorney Jack Johnson is currently on vacation and was unable to comment on the proposed process. “There will be no desire to prolong this because it’s hanging over the heads of the commissioners,” said Hytopoulos. “We need to have a functioning commission should issues come up.” The council remained clearly divided on the issue, but voted 6-1 to carry forward with the proposal from Scales after consulting with the city’s attorney. Hendrickson, who spoke at public comment urged the council for a hearing to handle the allegations. Hendrickson said she tried for months to alert the city manger and commission to problems, but was ignored. The petition, she said, was her last resort in a process that failed to resolve the issues that she repeatedly tried to address.

Tapping into our timber roots

f you enjoy carrying heavy logs on your shoulders, or excel at tossing eight-footlong logs like javelins, Old Mill Days in Port Gamble is your time to shine. Among other timberthemed competitions during the three-day festival Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 is the first annual search for the Kitsap Toughest Timberman. “In this amateur competition, strong men will have to use their brute strength,” said Johnathan Miller, Old Mill Days founder and organizer. “They will compete in old-school lumberjack sports like they used to do back in the day.” Other competitions at Old Mill Days include lumberjack shows and chain saw carving. The literal buzz around chain saw carving has become so loud that a major cable network will be filming the competition for a new television show called “Saw Dogs.” (Contract rules wouldn't allow Miller to name the network, but he did hint it is a very popular channel.) Professional chain saw carver Steve Backus has transformed logs into works of art for 36 years and helps organize the chain saw carving competitions at Old

gruesome-awesome tool. It’s a juxtaposition because this tool represents destruction, but also makes fine art.” Old Mill Days isn’t all about competition. The weekend includes carnival rides, a car show, exhibits on forestry rejuvenation and vendors. Throughout the weekend, the main stage will entertain with live music, comedy and dancers. But the setting in historic Port Gamble, with its long history of milling (the mill operated from 1853 to 1995), lends itself to events that would make Paul Bunyan’s jaw drop. Hot Saws and Hot Saws Unlimited take place on Oct. 1 and 2. For those not familiar with the concept, Hot Saws are jacked-up chain saws that use motorcycle or snowmobile engines to cut through thick logs. Hot Saws Unlimited use V-6 or V-8 engines, though the festival has put the kibosh on allowing fuel additives. One year a saw caught on fire and burned the competitor. “There is no doubt about it that there is danger in these sports,” Miller said. “That’s why we have medics on-site at all times. We don’t want people to get hurt. That’s not our goal.”

Chainsaw carving is a performance art. Visitors to Old Mill Days will be able to watch the artists in action. This octopus sculpture was created by artist Chris Foltz. Foltz will compete in the events next weekend. Courtesy photo

Old boats afloat

T

his weekend, the glossy brightwork of 30 classic yachts will glisten in Poulsbo Marina during the 15th annual Poulsbo Yacht Rendezvous. “There is something about these old boats that is different from modern boats,” organizer Richard Randall said. “They repre-

sent a part of our history that we are gradually losing touch with, and this is an opportunity to preserve it.” The free event is open to the public and many yacht owners will welcome guests aboard their vessels, allowing visitors a peek back into time when boats were made from wood, not fiberglass. (Many owners ask that visitors remove their shoes, so plan accordingly and wear footwear that is easy to

remove.) According to the Classic Yacht Association’s website, to qualify as a classic, the vessel “must be a powerdriven pleasure boat of good design, construction, and maintenance, launched prior to Dec. 31, 1959, which shows no exterior alterations that detract from the designer’s original intent.” Much like an antique car collector or an owner of a vintage home, classic yacht

owners go to great lengths to keep their vessels in tiptop shape. Randall, who owns a 1929 43-foot bridge-deck cruiser, spends about three days a week working on his boat, Compadre. Compadre has retained her original interior layout and cabinetry. Her cabin is built entirely of Burmese teak and her hull is made from Port Orford cedar. “These boats are unique See YACHTS, Page 5

EVENT DETAILS The Poulsbo Yacht Rendezvous will be held at the Poulsbo Marina, behind Front Street. Hours are Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m; Sunday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free. Each boat is sponsored by a Poulsbo business and the sponsorship helps to defray the cost of moorage fees.

perfect building material for boats meant to stand the test of time. However, years of overharvesting have led to the scarcity of both woods. Port Orford is native to small regions along the Oregon and California coasts and trees that were large enough to be used for lumber were exhausted long ago. Most of the teak available today is plantationraised and lacks the density of its old-growth relatives. Randall said an event like the Poulsbo Rendezvous is a time to share the old vessels with the public. It helps raise awareness of these historic boats and encourages others to get involved. “We are quite aware that we are only caretakers, and our challenge is to pass these boats on to future owners in at least as good, or better, condition than when we acquired them,” he said.
