Bethlehem comes to Bainbridge
Drive through the Bible story in Rolling Bay BY LUCIANO MARANO Bainbridge Island Review
Bethlehem is a great place to visit, but you’d better make other accommodation plans during your stay because — as you may have heard -—there’s no room at the inn. Especially not at this time of year. There’s plenty of room to explore, however, at this year’s fourth annual Bethlehem Experience drive-through village. Presented by the Rolling Bay Presbyterian Church, the interactive nativity scene will run from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5 and Saturday, Dec. 6. The village features live animals alongside nearly 150 actors of all ages playing everything from wise men and Roman soldiers to Mary and Joseph themselves, all clad in picture perfect period attire. “It has been a wonderful expe-
rience,” said the project’s original coordinator Molly Dunn. Dunn, who was inspired by a similar event she participated in at a different church she attended while living in California, was the one who pitched the idea and began coordinating the volunteers, actors and set construction for the first Bethlehem Experience years ago. “I always remember it as a really fun time,” Dunn said. “So I saw it as something our church could do. We have the setup for it, have enough property and storage space for all the sets and props and whatnot. Everyone has really embraced it.” “Everyone looks forward to it each year,” she added. Fellow volunteer Kathy Irvin agreed, saying that the visitors

Kudos Kids get creative for Pumpkin Parade Carden Country School celebrated its annual “Pumpkin Parade” when students from kindergar-
ten through eighth grade transform pumpkins into everything from snails to pirate treasure. This year’s entries included Cookie Monster, a tarantula, Olaf from Disney’s “Frozen,” a plate of nachos, and Harry Potter’s Golden Snitch. Officers Eric Peffer and
Trevor Ziemba from the Bainbridge Island Police Department served as judges alongside Paster Brandon from New Life Church. Jett Peters won best in show for his scary tarantula. The children were delighted to celebrate this tradition with the officers.

In Our Opinion
Always room for thanks
I
n our complicated, angry, violent world, it’s sometimes hard to find reasons to be thankful. But each year on the last Thursday in November, we take time to do just that. For those of us in the U.S., Thanksgiving can be traced back to a celebration at Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621. The 1621 Plymouth feast and thanksgiving was prompted by a good harvest. Pilgrims and Puritans who began emigrating from England in the 1620s and 1630s carried the tradition of Days of Fasting and Days of Thanksgiving with them to New England. Several days of Thanksgiving were held in early New England history that have been identified as the “First Thanksgiving.” As President of the United States, George Washington proclaimed the first nationwide thanksgiving celebration in America marking Nov. 26, 1789, “as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God.” From that year forward, Americans annually have joined with family and friends on Thanksgiving to share in a feast of turkey, potatoes and cranberries. Every family’s favorite aunt brings the green bean casserole and there’s always sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. Despite individual spiritual or religious beliefs, each of us have something to be thankful for. It may be that new job, improved health or even a new love. It may be something more simple, like having the day off. For some, it may be just having a meal and somewhere to spend the day with others. As a community, we have much to be thankful for — community leaders who make tough decisions, social services officials who care for our poor, great teachers who work with our children and all our police and firefighters who risk their lives to keep us safe. As the family gathers, share your thanks with each other. And whatever you are thankful for, enjoy your Thanksgiving Day. Remember, too, to think about your blessings on Friday and every other day.

New handbook details volunteer opportunities To the editor: There is a new handbook for teens and tweens listing volunteer opportunities that exist at island/area nonprofits. This resource guide for youth and parents describes nonprofit organizations on the island, what they do and how to contact them. This project, championed by Rebecca Judd, our Bainbridge KRL Librarian, and Shannon Buxton, Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District, was created as a result of the Healthy Youth Summit last March. Both Rebecca and Shannon heard that our kids would like some guidance to find outlets for their interests and passions. And a central resource would be ideal — a sort of “one-stop shopping.” Rebecca surveyed the island nonprofits and with their input, the Resource Guide was developed. If you would like to obtain a free copy of “A Resource Guide for Bainbridge Island Teens and Tweens,” it is available in hard copy at the Bainbridge Public Library and Bainbridge Youth Services. Hard copies were made possible by the Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island. It is also available electronically at www.bainbridgeyouthservices.org (under the Youth Job drop down menu). MARINA COFER-WILDSMITH Executive Director Bainbridge Youth Services
Candidate gives thanks to supporters To the editor: In warfare, there are strategic battles and there are tactical battles. My loss in the 23rd Legislative District, Position 2 is a tactical-battle setback. The larger issue are the strategic issues I raised over the current legislators’ failure to fully fund education, to care for the 21,000 backlogged developmentally disabled and to deal with the mental-health crisis facing Olympia. Soon the ringing political cliches will be forgotten and the last echoes of “Happy Days are Here Again” will fade. Going forth, voters must birddog their legislators to insure the looming problems facing us are dealt with, the vulnerable cared for, and our First and Second Amendment rights protected from governmental intrusion. I want to thank my talented wife for her creativity on campaign videos and her diligent work as treasurer. Also sincere thanks to my other family members for their understanding of my tremendous dedication of time to the campaign. Also Bravo Zulu to my campaign supporters, well-wishers, advisors and helping hands. Campaigns are grueling logistical challenges especially when done on a salt-of-the-earth budget. My campaign was based on principled issues of limited government, rule of law, Constitutional respect and a sincere belief that real reform is overdue for Olympia. I commit to you all I will not run from the fight on these issues. The problems facing us will not solve themselves or with the current legislators’ indifference. In conclusion, I paraphrase World War II five-star general and field marshall of the Philippine Army, Douglas
MacArthur, spoken to the people of the Philippines “Whence I came, I shall return.” Tonight, I repeat those words: I shall return! I too shall return. God Bless and thank you. JAMES M. OLSEN Bainbridge Island
U.S. should stay out of disputes in foreign lands To the editor: Every day we hear about the horrible executions of Americans by ISIS. No one ever asks why is ISIS killing Americans? They are attacking us because we attacked them first. We blew up dozens of their people with bombs for political reasons. Is blowing up people that have never attacked us any less horrible then cutting off someones head in retaliation for our attacks? Does America not expect to be attacked when we attack others? Why do terrorists attack us? If you ask the terrorist they all pretty much say the same thing. They are attacking us because we are in their country trying to force America’s will upon them under force of arms. If someone invaded our nation and killed hundreds of thousand of our people, destroyed our infrastructure and caused massive upheaval wouldn’t you grab a gun and fight them? That has always been the American way of freedom. If we want to stop terrorism in America, wasting tax money and the death of our service people all we have to do is get out of other peoples’ nations and let them decide their own future. To stop terrorism all we have to do is let others chose their own path. ATSON REEDER Bainbridge Island

The Teenage Pressure Cooker and helping parents listen Fall is officially here and the school year is in full swing, which means that stress is building for teens. Increased stress makes listening to your kids even more important, but how do you respond in a way that makes your kids feel heard, not judged? How do you check your emotions when you’re listening? You need to be present for your kids, but you’re still their parents! Sometimes teens tell you troubling things and it can be very difficult to respond without letting your emotions cloud your reactions. I’m sure I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again; let curiosity and compassion be your guiding light in staying open in a conversation with your teens. You don’t have to give up being a parent just to listen. You can hold good boundaries, enforce appropriate consequences and listen to them warmly and openly. When you come to a conversation curious it’s really hard to have assumptions. Teens get talked at enough that often the last thing they need is to hear about our own experience as adults or have us infer feelings or meaning into what they’re saying for them. Teens really need the
Guest Column
BY TARA MURPHY opportunity to talk things through and to utilize their critical thinking skills. The goal while listening openly and neutrally is to be exactly that, open and neutral. If you have a big reaction emotionally to what is being said, then chances are that your kids are going to be reluctant to talk to you in the future. I hear time and time again from teens that they withhold information not so much because of fear of consequences, but because they dread the emotional reaction that they’re going to get from their parents. Emotional regulation is a major task of adolescence, so it’s important for parents to model staying calm while expressing their feelings. An important ingredient in
cultivating your listening skills is taking good care of yourself! I recently read a quote that said, “Be kind to yourself, it’s hard to be happy when someone is being mean to you.” Parenting is the hardest job in the world and if you are not taking good care of yourself physically and emotionally it will be very difficult for you to be present for your teens. That means trying to get enough sleep, eating well, exercising and doing things that nurture you as an individual. Get support! It’s always good to have a circle of friends, family or a therapist to vent to and process with. If you’ve heard something difficult that brings up worry, or anxiety or sadness or you’ve had interaction with your teen that is particularly triggering, allow yourself some time to soothe and honor the complicated emotions that usually accompany the love that parents have for their children. These things will make you so much lovelier to be around in general and an especially good listener! Good self-care is healthy, not selfish. Another ingredient is allowing yourself to differentiate between your roles of listener, parent and individual. There’s
plenty of time for parent mode after you have time to sit down and process. Think about how you might respond in the moment if you could let go of the feeling that you have to have the right answer or know what to do. Sometimes people just need a witness and an ear while they figure stuff out on their own. Ask open ended questions and redirect things back to your teen, for example, “What do you think about that?” or, “How do you feel about it?” You want to pose questions that help them think about the situation for themselves. It’s OK for kids to struggle a bit! It’s how they become well-adjusted adults. Ultimately, your kids know you care, not because you fix a problem, but because you listen. If you or your family need extra support in learning how to listen, Bainbridge Youth Services is one resource that can help. Call us at 206-8429675 or visit www.askBYS.org. Tara Murphy is a counselor with Bainbridge Youth Services, which provides community youth (ages 12-19) with no-cost, confidential, and high quality professional counseling.
New project launched to help Bainbridge parents of tweens BY REVIEW STAFF
Parents of “tweens” — middle schoolers in fifth through eighth grade — can get help with guiding their youngsters through the turbulent times of tweendom with a new program organized by the Bainbridge Island School District, Hyla Middle School and Raising Resilience. The three entities have teamed up to offer a year-long series for parents of tweens on Bainbridge. Throughout the current school year, the project will offer education, tools and a gathering space to help parents move beyond crisis mode and into a more positive and intentional approach to parenting that develops essential internal strengths in parents and kids; and helps parents learn to love, listen, limit and laugh. “Raising Resilience is very excited about this collaborative effort where parents can learn from, and with, each other and walk away with practical skills that will influence their parenting,” said Cezanne Allen, Raising Resilience chairwoman. Organizers of the new series, “Parenting Right in the Middle,” say that when it comes to parenting tweens, the stakes are higher than ever. The traditional chal-
lenges of this age — identity, sexuality, risk-taking, communication with parents — are complicated by the dominance of technology and media in a broader culture of constant commotion, strain and stress that threatens the quality of family life. Parents on Bainbridge have said they need help to parent through these challenges with confidence. The purpose of the project is to mobilize the community around its collective responsibility to tweens and parents. Organizers noted that over the past year, the Bainbridge community has made important progress toward building a sustained social structure to address the complexities of adolescence and parenting. The Healthy Youth Summits, co-sponsored by Bainbridge Youth Services, Bainbridge Island School District, Raising Resilience and Rotary, provided the momentum to launch a collaborative parent support program specific to the middle school years. The project begins with a kick-off event from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 3 at the Bainbridge High School library. The meeting will introduce parents to “intentional parenting,” a science-backed

New guide details opportunities for young volunteers BY REVIEW STAFF
A new handbook that can be used as a road map for island youth looking to make a difference in the community is now available at the Bainbridge Public Library and other locations across Bainbridge. The free booklet, “Resource Guide for Bainbridge Island Teens and Tweens,” was inspired by feedback from Bainbridge youth who participated in the three Healthy Youth Summits held in 2013 and 2014. The meetings focused on how the community could help them develop and grow, and how they, in turn, could give something back to their community. Summit organizers said the feedback was clear: • Bainbridge youth want to be heard and valued as part of the community; to be listened to and have their voices heard; • They want to be seen as who they are and not seen through the lens of their parents’ and communities’ aspirations; •They want guidance to search for and discover what “gets them going” and in “finding their passion.” The handbook project was led by Rebecca Judd of the Bainbridge Public Library and Shannon Buxton from the Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District. Volunteers from the youth summits contacted all the nonprofits on the island to discover what work and volunteering opportunities existed for youth, and the new handbook details each nonprofit and what they do.

PEPS group starts soon A Bainbridge Island group of PEPS — Program for Early Parent Support — will get started in February. PEPS is a Seattle-based nonprofit that connects and supports moms and dads as they begin their new role as parents. PEPS makes it easy for new parents to build connections by forming neighborhood-based peer support groups that start when babies are up to 4 months old. An evening group for new Bainbridge Island families will start on Monday, Feb. 2 and meet weekly for 12 weeks from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. This group is for parents who have a baby that will be up to 4 months old when the group starts. Parents can attend as a couple or individually. A trained volunteer facilitator does all the legwork; they set up the logistics of the meetings, communicate with families about where and when they need to go and they lead the group through discussions on parenting topics. Meetings rotate between group members homes, and always include break time for informal socializing and connecting with other new parents.

New island inn planned Proposal includes cottages, main lodge BY CECILIA GARZA Bainbridge Island Review
Lodging options are about to get better for Bainbridge tourism. A new addition to Pleasant Beach Village will soon introduce Pleasant Beach Inn to the Lynwood area. “It’s something that exists between a hotel and a bed and breakfast,” explained Charlie Wenzlau, the architect behind the project. Located adjacent to the Manor House Event Center and community pool, the project will add a little less than half an acre to Pleasant Beach Village. Wenzlau explained to residents the proposed layout for the inn in a community outreach meeting last week. Seven detached cottages and a six-room main lodge building will make up the 15-room digs. At the center will be a garden area. Designed in the same Tudor architectural style as the rest of Pleasant Beach Village, guests will first walk
onto a front porch and sitting terrace as they enter the cottages. Inside a one-bedroom cottage will be a sitting area, fireplace, a bed in the back area, bathroom and a ship ladder that leads to a sleeping loft overhead. The two-bedroom cottages are planned to have a similar layout but instead of a loft, guests will have a separate upstairs bedroom and bathroom. Tucked into the hillside, the main lodge will be the first stop for guests checking into their rooms. With a sizable covered porch outside and fireplace inside, the lodge will be a space all guests can enjoy. On the ground floor, a sitting room and check-in area will greet visitors inside. Two suites, one of which specifically designed to meet handicap needs, are also planned for the ground floor. The second level will provide four more rooms. Inn parking will be shared with the community pool, another amenity guests will be able to enjoy during their
stay. During last week’s meeting, residents expressed support for the proposed development, while other citizens were concerned that the construction could impede on the neighboring communities. Residents at Blakely Heights, Wenzlau said though, have already been taken into account. “We’re obligated to do landscape screening for the code, and there’s no physical connections between the neighborhood,” Wenzlau said. The existing treeline at the edge of the property will remain. Where there are gaps, Wenzlau said, six- to eight-foot trees will be planted. Resident’s will not need to worry about inn guests seeing through neighborhood windows, or vice versa, Wenzlau said. Construction is planned to begin for the Pleasant Beach Inn at the completion of the community pool, which is currently under construction.

‘The Plate & Pint’ to occupy Island Grill location BY REVIEW STAFF
Bainbridge Island’s newest announced eatery, The Plate & Pint, is expected to open its doors in the spring. Urban Renaissance Group, a full-service commercial real estate firm based in Seattle, announced last week that Café Nola owners Kevin and Whitney Warren will open the new restaurant, their first expansion, in the former Island Grill location at the Island Village shopping center on High School Road. The Plate & Pint is envisioned to be a family-friendly restaurant and sports bar, according to URG. Interior renovation and upgrade work started over the weekend is expected to take three to four months and will also include new outdoor seating. “As a Bainbridge Island resident, I’m thrilled that such proven restaurant operators have chosen Island Village for their new concept,” said URG Founder and CEO Pat Callahan. “We’ve been fans
of Café Nola for a long time, so we fully supported the concept change when this opportunity presented itself. The Plate & Pint, along with its capital improvement upgrades, will be a great amenity for the community and add vibrancy to Island Village.” Co-owner Kevin Warren said he was also very excited about the new venture. “Living on Bainbridge for 15-plus years, the one thing we’ve always wanted for the island was a real sports bar to watch games,” Warren said. “We’ve also consistently heard from friends and customers that they’d love another family-friendly restaurant on Bainbridge,” he added. “Our goal was to try something completely different from Nola, something new and a fresh challenge.” “The community has so graciously supported us at Café Nola for 15 years and we’re excited for this new venture and a way to give something back,” said
co-owner Whitney Warren. “We’ve been eyeing the Island Grill for some time, thinking it was a great location for our new concept. Downtown has the charm of the smaller retail shops and the cafes and bakeries and Island Village is the place islanders go for their everyday needs, from groceries to banking to a quick bite after soccer or lacrosse practice. It’s a central hub close to downtown.” “The Plate & Pint will be a very cozy, ‘home-like’ environment with several screens for viewing a variety of sporting events, as well as a full menu of quality food approachable for everyone — from the guy having a pint of beer at the bar, snacking on an appetizer and watching basketball, to the family that just left Strawberry Park after a softball game,” she added. The Plate & Pint will be the fifth new retailer to take up residence at the shopping center in six months. URG reported that the area is now 95 percent occupied.

Bainbridge-Ometepe student delegation gives teens home away from home Cultural immersion teaches life lessons BY CECILIA GARZA Bainbridge Island Review
The bus rattled down a busy street on the Nicaraguan island of Ometepe as Bainbridge High School senior Emma Spickard and 14 of her classmates made their way from the ferry to their homestay families. She watched the familiar colorful stucco storefronts pass by, motorcyclists puffing exhaust down the wide streets, and Ometepinos running errands on foot, sometimes with small children in tow. It was the first time Spickard was on the island since her last visit one year before, and she wondered when she’d have an opportunity to reunite with her former host mother and siblings. “All of a sudden I spotted my mom walking alongside the road,” Spickard recalled. Although, Kiuptza knew her American daughter was returning, she didn’t know when. All at once, Spickard frantically yelled out the window, Kiuptza spotted her in the bus, and began running and calling for the bus to stop. The two bounded into a hug in the road and her former siblings, moments later, came running out of the nearby school to greet her. The tearful reunion set the tone for the rest of the trip. Spickard was one of two BHS students to return for a second time on the Bainbridge Ometepe Sister Island Association’s (BOSIA) annual student delegation this past summer. For the past 25 years of the organization’s nearly 30-year-old lifetime, 15 students are selected for a twoweek trip to Ometepe, where the group is divided into three village communities. There, Bainbridge youth polish their Spanish speaking and participate in collab-

But most importantly, the past quarter century of BOSIA student delegations has been characterized by Bainbridge teens immersing themselves in Nicaraguan culture and developing bonds with their homestay families and Ometepe community, much like Spickard. “The thing they kept telling us, is the minute you go down, it’s such a welcoming culture,” Spickard recalled of her first trip to Ometepe. “The idea your host family would really become your second family — when I was on Bainbridge Island, I would think, ‘Oh well, that’s all well and good. I bet they just say that.’ “But after being there, and living with my family, it’s honestly unbelievable how close you become with these people.” In her first visit, Spickard lived with Kiuptza, her husband Gilberto and their two young children, 4-yearold Thaivy and 9-year-old Wildrey.

At 21, Kiuptza studied and taught English on Ometepe. It allowed for a unique opportunity between the two. Over the two weeks, Spickard and Kiuptza would share late night conversations talking about everything in a mixture of Spanish and English. During the day, Spickard got in the habit of joining Wildrey on the soccer field and braiding Thaivy’s hair. By the end of her stay, she

I can’t stay here forever,’” Spickard explained. “But in Ometepe, it was very different … I didn’t leave feeling satiated, like ‘Oh, I had my Ometepe experience, that was fun,’”
Spickard said. Loading onto the bus after that first visit, she felt a lot of emotions, but was reminded that it didn’t have to be “adios” it could be “hasta luego.” So it was only natural for Spickard to apply for a second term on the student delegation the following year. “The projects we do are
secondary to the relationships we build,” Spickard said, quoting a favorite BOSIA motto. On her return trip, she was given the opportunity to stay one night with her former host family. Kiuptza had gone through a divorce in the past year, so many things that had previously furnished her home were now gone. But nevertheless, that night, she showed Spickard to her old room where everything was the same. The rest of the family went into the second room and closed the door. “It wasn’t until the next day that I realized they’d gotten rid of their other bed, and they only had one,” Spickard said. Kiuptza and her two children had slept on small cots on the floor. “It was like the most literal sense of giving everything they had to me,” Spickard recalled. She burst into tears at the realization. “It was the epitome of sharing everything you have with anyone who needs it,” she said. “I feel so much in our society here, that this is my house, this is your house. But there it’s — these are our children.” “It really shaped my values, in terms of what I care about and what I look for in life. It made me crave another experience like that,” Spickard added. At her second homestay, the generosity and familial openness carried over. There were nights Spickard had to walk through a small banana field to the outhouse to use the bathroom. When her host mother heard her get up in the small house and walk outside in the middle of the night, she assumed the motherly role of walking her out of the house and waiting for her to return. “You’re too brave,” Hilda, TURN TO OMETEPE | A11

Around the Island ‘CHICKAMAUGA’
Warrant issued for tug owner The man accused of abandoning an historic 100-year-old tugboat that sank in Eagle Harbor last year is now wanted on a $10,000 warrant for failing to show up in court. A bench warrant for the arrest of Anthony R. Smith, the owner of the tugboat “Chickamauga,” was approved in Kitsap County Superior Court after Smith did not show up at a hearing. His trial was expected to start this summer on a charge of causing a vessel to become abandoned or derelict and one count of discharge of polluting matters into state waters. Smith also faces a charge of first-degree theft. The “Chickamauga” sank in Eagle Harbor in October 2013 and leaked approximately 200 to 300 gallons of diesel fuel into Puget Sound. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced the filing of charges against Smith in January. Smith, who works in Alaska as a fisherman, was released on personal recognizance after he was charged and waived extradition from Alaska. His trial had been set for

Through her, Spickard learned the realities and the impact the war had on the
June 23. When he did not appear for a status hearing the week before his trial — his attorney asked that he be allowed to appear via telephone — the judge granted the state’s request for an arrest warrant. According to documents in the court case against the tugboat owner, Smith paid the first and last month’s moorage fees to Eagle Harbor Marina after piloting the “Chickamauga” there in February 2013. He failed to make any other payments on his moorage fees, and also didn’t respond to repeated requests by the harbormaster to address the failing condition of the boat. Marina officials said earlier they had been unable to contact Smith, who was reportedly living in Alaska and claimed the tugboat was actually owned by his ex-wife. The boat was later raised by a salvage team and towed to a marina in Port Townsend. 911
Space heater blamed for fire Investigators believe that a house fire in the 6500 block of Marshal Road last week was started by an electric heating village community. “Stories of soldiers coming and tearing up families,” Spickard said. “She actually lived through it, the fear they lived with every day.” Both years, Spickard joined the rest of her classmates in service projects, but they were never too far removed from their host families.

appliance that had been placed too close to combustible materials, said Bainbridge Island Fire Marshal Luke Carpenter. Units from the Bainbridge Island Fire Department, the Poulsbo Fire Department and North Kitsap Fire & Rescue responded to the fire, which reportedly started in a bathroom of the one-story home the evening of Monday, Nov. 17. No one was hurt in the fire, and firefighters were at the scene for more than three hours putting out the fire and mopping up. Carpenter reminded islanders that combustible materials such as furniture, clothes, towels, paper and other items should always be kept a safe distance from heaters, no matter if they are permanent wall- or floor-mounted units or portable heaters. Carpenter said the Red Cross has been asked to assist the homeowner.

The Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District congratulated its first graduating class of dog park ambassadors last week. Twenty participants, both human and canine, learned how to set a positive example in Bainbridge’s designated
off-leash areas. “The off-leash experience is new to many dog owners and it is the human owners who need to be made most aware of how to handle the variety of situations they may encounter at the dog park,” said Mary-Lou Vibrans, a member of the district’s Dog Advisory Committee and a co-designer of the program. The four-week program was led by professional dog handler Gretchen Jannenga and certified professional dog trainer and veterinary assistant Sandra Lance. Through live demonstrations, video programs and handouts, some of the lessons covered how to best monitor their dogs in an off-leash setting, how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort, as well as how to train their dogs to do well in offleash environments. “Our new dog parks grant our canine companions greater freedoms, and with that comes greater owner responsibility for learning how to make safer, healthier decisions for our pets,” said Park Services Superintendent Dan Hamlin. “We view our new Ambassador program as one of the key steps for promoting dog owner education and responsibility,” Hamlin said. New classes are planned throughout the
what they need. BOSIA supplies the materials, and Bainbridge Islanders and Ometepinos work together to make it happen. This year, along with dental education at the schools and delivering school supplies, the student delegates built a ramp connecting the community’s dirt road to the main town. About 50 members of the surrounding communi-
ties showed up to help on the road project and see it through its completion, Spickard said. In this way, BOSIA gives an added perspective to its student delegates. “I think it’s very easy to feel removed from volunteer work around the world,” Spickard explained. “When people donate money to BOSIA they don’t necessarily know where it
goes. But because we are the student delegates that work down there and see the actual relationship, I think it’s really taught me that even the smallest of an organization, like BOSIA, really has an impact.” For Ometepinos and Bainbridge Islanders, BOSIA exemplifies the power of engagement — both as individuals and as communities — to foster peace and under-

Proposal requiring permits for filming on Bainbridge finds few fans Council, filmmakers find problems with proposal BY BRIAN KELLY
Bainbridge Island Review
The city of Bainbridge’s Island’s first crack at new regulations that would require a permit for filmmakers on the island turned out to be box office poison during its debut at the council meeting last week. The proposed ordinance — which had been expected to be fast-tracked for approval at a special meeting Saturday after an initial OK Tuesday — didn’t muster enough support for even a vote this week. More information, and more discussion with the community, was needed, said Mayor Anne Blair. “I’m not ready to be able to move this forward,” Blair said. “I’m kind of struggling whether this is something we should be doing or not,” added Councilman David Ward. City officials unveiled proposed new restrictions for filming motion pictures, television shows or Internet videos at last week’s council work study session.

costs incurred by the city in connection with the permit,” according to the proposed ordinance. Those costs may include covering the staff time of police and public works employees, litter disposal and other items. Permits would be required for those filming not only on public property, but on private property as well. And filmmakers would be required to give detailed information on their plans before uncasing their cameras, including proposed locations where filming will occur, dates and times, descriptions (including the number and type) of all motor vehicles the filmmakers will use, a list of all public facilities that may be used, details on who will be in charge at each filming location, and “such other information as the city manager deems necessary to evaluate the application and appropriately condition the permit.”
Brush with controversy The idea for filming permits dates back to last summer, after some islanders complained about the farmers market being used — along with other places on the island — for the filming of a commercial for a new Oral-B toothbrush. Before and during last week’s council meeting, however, local filmmakers and photographers told

Drivers move through the first parking lot (the “desert”) in their “caravans” before coming upon three wise men, and then the city gates. Once inside they are greeted by a variety of historical characters including Roman guards, the tax collector, merchants and vendors, many of whom interact with the guests as they pass through helping to advance the narrative. Sights include a carpentry and spice shop, live animals such as mastiff dogs, sheep, chickens and donkeys, a marketplace and, of course, the inn with no rooms left. Finally the route ends at

filming incident that may have been an annoyance to some islanders, and led to some city staff cost for clean-up,” wrote Steve Keller, the owner of Differential Films. “The problem, which is only going to occur once in a blue moon, will only occur during high-budget shoots such as the commercial shoot at the farmers market that started this whole discussion.” Keller said that such large-scale productions should be required to get permits. But Keller added that it was a mistake to require anyone shooting “professional” video on the island to get a permit. “Almost all filmmakers of lower-budget productions, whether they be a wedding video, documentary film, or a promotional film for a local business, with or without a business license with the city, will shoot in a quiet, respectful manner that inconveniences no one,” he said.

in thinking about unintended consequences,” he said.
FILM
Inherited idea

Lucy Ostrander and Don Sellers of Stourwater Pictures asked why permits were necessary. “Upon reading the draft, we find it both disturbing and problematic for our work and for the work of other filmmakers.”
Hammer needs a nail “First, why? Have film crews been running amok on the Island? Is this an attempt to generate income for the City? This smacks of an attempt to build a large hammer to go looking for a non-existent (or perhaps very rare) nail, and in the process beat down the civil rights and livelihoods of many filmmakers who cause no trouble, and whose activities benefit the Island,” they wrote. The proposal was too broad, they noted, and would require permits for shooting in their own yard — even though they are already a licensed studio — and the exemptions carved out for nonprofit companies and news media were also flawed. Councilman Roger Townsend said the comments from filmmakers also underscored problems with the wording of the new regulations. “I found the letters helpful
The proposed ordinance was written by the previous city attorney, city officials said, which was based on regulations adopted by Seattle and Tacoma. City Manager Doug Schulze said the restrictions were set up to allow the city to recover any costs for public services that would be provided to filmmakers, such as police or litter removal. The permit fee itself would be around $25, he said. Schulze noted the filmmakers for the toothbrush commercial did contact the city, via the chamber of commerce, to ask about permits before they began filming. Blair noted the island has had some experience with filmmaking, including some major motion pictures that were shot on Bainbridge in the 1980s and ‘90s, when a member of the state film council lived on the island. “There were a bucket load of films made. And a number of families made a lot of money, quite honestly, by renting their back yard or their front porch, or the view of their house or the view from their house,” Blair recalled. The council needs to set its direction on the overall policy, with input from those with local expertise, the mayor said, before it gets into the specifics of permits.
YouTube, what else? Townsend also said the ordinance, as written, did not clearly indicate what type of film work would require a permit. He said the proposal made it sound like he would need a permit if he was editing or even planning a film in his basement. “Do I need a permit for that? As I read this, I would say yes,” Townsend said. Editing a film for YouTube, a for-profit company, in his basement would seem to apply, he added, a comment that inspired a few good-humored responses. “He’s got cats in his basement,” joked Councilman Wayne Roth. And it wouldn’t apply to Sports Illustrated filming the swimsuit edition on Bainbridge, another councilman quipped. Bainbridge residents at the meeting also chimed in, and said the new rules didn’t fit the real world of filmmaking as it presently exists. “You are missing a lot,” said resident Doug Rauh. “Film is no longer film like what you are thinking. Mr. Townsend is right on the money.” What about filming underwater? By remote aircraft? Google mapping? “When you start bringing all of this together, it’s a real can of worms,” he said. “You’re in a big gray area.” Matt Longmire, who was

asked by nearly two dozen filmmakers to represent them at the council meeting, said filmmakers aren’t against permits. “It’s really the language that concerns us,” Longmire said. He said the rules seem to require permits for more than shooting. And pretty much all filmmakers now work from home, he said. Other language in the proposal was also making them nervous, he said, such as the requirement for filmmaking on private property. “I totally understand the risk of could we inconvenience neighbors,” he said. Filmmaking that would disrupt a whole neighborhood, Longmire said, would be done at the level of a major studio. And in those cases, residents are commonly compensated. “Anything we would do, the neighbors generally don’t even know that we’re there,” he said. Instead of categorizing who is doing the filming, permits could be required by the size of the budget, above $500,000 or $1 million, he said. Longmire asked for the chance to offer input from local experts if discussions on film permits continues. “We’re here to help. We’ll talk about incentives, we’ll talk about permits,” Longmire said. “We’re here.”
City looks for consultant to help finish Waterfront Park project BY REVIEW STAFF
The city of Bainbridge Island has started its search for a firm that can finish the design plans for the makeover of Waterfront Park and help oversee the construction project. The city issued a “request for qualifications” from interested companies on Tuesday, Nov. 18. The city has been talking about the park makeover since last year, and the council recently approved funding for the design and construction of the project. A preliminary design for the park project includes a picnic pavilion, analemmatic sundial, arbor and benches, rowing club building and other improvements. The city is planning to spend $2.2 million on the park and city dock project over the next year. Most of the money,
approximately $1.6 million, will come from the city’s settlement with Washington State Ferries. Approximately $638,000 for the project has been earmarked from the city’s general fund. The council approved $1 million in spending next year for the Waterfront Park project, and $220,000 for the city dock project, in October. Bainbridge has also budgeted $1.85 million for the dock project in 2016. The city is seeking a firm to complete the design and construction documentation, plus assistance with permitting, putting the project out to bid and oversight of the construction in an advisory role. According to the city’s RFQ, companies must submit a 20-page application by Wednesday, Dec. 10.
New traffic cameras planned Washington State Ferries has announced that new traffic cameras will be installed on Highway 305 to assist travelers headed to the Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal. The cameras will be put up on Winslow Way and High School Road. The
camera gears has been delivered to the Washington State Department of Transportation’s Olympic Region and WSF reports the cable line will be installed on Dec. 3. The cameras will be activated in early December.

Bainbridge Island Review
ust as the holiday season invites us all to remember the importance of family and friends and celebrate simple pleasures, so too the latest production from Ovation! Musical Theatre Bainbridge invites viewers to recall the basic joys of whimsy and imagination. It also features swashbuckling adventure, warrior Indians, devious pirates and rocking good music, too. How do you get to this very special holiday party? Easy. Just head toward the second star on the right, then straight on ‘till morning. You guessed it. Ovation! has chosen for their holiday show this year the much-beloved classic tale “Peter Pan.” “We’ve done some really heavyweight shows lately,” said Ron Milton, an Ovation! founder and the production’s director, set designer and carpenter.
“Our roots are in doing family theater. Theater that you can bring everybody to and that improves the human condition somehow, and ‘Peter Pan’ kind of fits all of bills one right after another,” he said. Though the high-flying adventure is often what intrigues a younger audience at first, Milton said that there are deeper things at work in the musical’s story that has kept audiences coming back for generations. “It’s not about the flying, it’s not about the magic in it,” Milton said. “It’s about reminding people how wonderful it is to be alive and to take a breath and reestablishing relationships.” TURN TO OVATION! | A25

Tom Kelly, author of “Cold Crossover” will visit Eagle Harbor Book Company in downtown Winslow at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7 to sign copies of and discuss his latest novel, “Hovering Above a Homicide.” The latest book is the second in the Ernie Creekmore mystery series, which again feature the popular ex-basketball coach turned semisleuth character of Creekmore from the first installment. The latest mystery sees Creekmore back in action when the body of a team parent is found in a vacant home for sale. Before launching into fiction, Kelly served the Seattle Times readers for 20 years, first as a sportswriter and later as real estate reporter, columnist and editor. His weekly features now appear in a variety of newspapers including the Miami Herald, Houston Chronicle, Louisville Courier-Journal, Spokane Spokesman-Review plus hundreds of websites. “Hovering Above a Homicide” will be available Friday, Nov. 28. COMING TO BIMA
Re-Arrangers reschedule show The Bainbridge-based Gypsy jazz band Ranger and the Re-Arrangers will hold their rescheduled Bainbridge Island Museum of Art concert event previously canceled at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6. “We had to postpone our concert that was to be held at BIMA on Nov. 15 due to a death in the band,” explained group founder Ranger Sciacca.

It will also be available at the winter farmers market at Eagle Harbor Church. “The landscapes here also evoke the beauty of the entire Pacific Northwest,” Keve said. “I remember that in my teens, when crossing the Chesapeake Bay by ferry, before the bridge was built, I had a numinous, time-out-of space experience. The first time I

Keve said her work is about more than just pretty pictures, however. “Beyond appreciation of our local treasures, perhaps the book will also serve to inspire efforts to preserve more Northwest forests and restore the health of Puget Sound such as the Kitsap Forest and Bay Project,” Keve explained. Keve works with authors who wish to self-publish. She is currently working on a book of heron photographs and a 50-year high school reunion yearbook.

Murray and Congressman Kilmer to expand protection for lands and streams surrounding Olympic National Park,” Fey explained. “The proposal is still a bit under the radar here locally, so we are hoping to have a good turnout and educate our visitors
that night so they can decide how they feel about the proposal,” he said. Washington Wild protects and restores wild lands and waters throughout Washington state through advocacy, education and civic engagement.

Poe. Though he’s better known for his dark side, Edgar Allan Poe’s tender matters of the heart are unearthed in Lewis’ new show, where a fateful encounter casts its
fa
shadow and threatens to destroy the poets’ future together. Their tale of forbidden romance is set at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution and features the unlikely combination of an Austrian inventor, mechanical Turks and Bavarian grand chess masters. The show is directed by Corey D. McDaniel of “The Wild Party” fame, a show
which won the Gregory Award for “Outstanding Musical Production” and Gypsy Rose Lee Award for “Excellence in Musical Production and Direction.” The initial staged reading of this musical, held in June 2011 at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, received an extraordinarily positive response from an over-capacity audience.

The gang’s all here in this, the latest reincarnation of J.M. Barrie’s classic story, including the villainous Captain Hook, the entire Darling family clan, a real live Tinkerbell, Tiger Lily and — of course — the original lost boy himself, Peter Pan, played by Myriah Riedel. The stage version of the the character has routinely been played by a female lead (Mary Martin comes to mind, as does Sandy Duncan, Cathy Rigby and, most recently, Allison Williams). “I like him very blunt and I think I keep him a little older than what previously [has been depicted],” Riedel, a long-time Ovation! cast member, said of her version of the show’s titular character. “I do play him a little older, I think, and also very big.” Big was the official order of the day, according to Milton, who said that he assured the cast from day one in this production, “There is no over the top until I tell you it’s over the top.” That sort of grand, exaggerated play with an emphasis on physicality is an essential part of this type of production — a farce — Milton explained, which is actually a theater tradition dating back to classical antiquity. “It’s not high comedy and it’s not low comedy,” Milton explained. “It’s a physical farce. It’s fun for the audience and if we do our job right they’ll want to be up there doing it with us.” “What I want is: I want strong, definable characters,” Milton said. “Anyone can look at you at any minute in the show and know exactly who you are, what you want.
There’s not a lot of subtext in this show, but there is a lot of theater.” Perhaps no character better embodies the ideals of farce than Pan’s archenemy, the notorious Captain Hook, played by Matty McCaslin (who also plays Mr. Darling). Hook has been played numerous times in the past with varying degrees of malice and mirth, but nearly always with a heavy dose of comedy. Now, McCaslin will offer his depiction to the historical ranks to stand beside performances by Robb Harwood, Hans Conried, Dustin Hoffman and, most recently, Christpher Walken. “We were encouraged even when we had the script in hand before we knew what we’d do to vocalize it, to make it larger than life,” McCaslin explained. “Captain Hook is the biggest chicken in the entire world,” he added. “Which is also kind of funny that they’ve done the traditional pairing of Captain Hook and Mr. Darling, being the father. Mr. Darling’s the weakest

His wife berates him about stuff and he just makes up stories to let her know he’s still in charge. He tries to placate the children to do things that he himself is afraid to do.” McCaslin explained that while the kids in the crowd clap for Tinkerbell and root for Pan, Hook appeals to the slightly older crowd. “What Peter provides for the kids, Captain Hook provides some comedy for the parents, I think,” he laughed. However, whether you’re cheering for the pirates or the lost boys, the true hero of this production might be the one who says nothing at all. Lydia Olson, 12, making her official Ovation! stage debut as Tinkerbell, offers viewers not only the rare chance to cheer for a real live “Tink,” but also a graceful and nuanced interpretation of the role that would be impressive even from a much older actress. So, even if you think you don’t believe in fairies, you might want to get ready to

clap just in case. “It’s more like ‘Tom and Jerry,’” Olson said, describing the seemingly eternal conflict between Pan and Hook. Working with minimal dialogue has not impaired her ability to communicate with the audience, Olson explained. “I try to express it through my dancing. I have a really good time dancing,” she said. “I take mostly dance
classes. I take some acting every once in a while, but I really love to dance more than anything else.” Others on the cast are already praising Olson’s abilities, impressed with her performance in what is a difficult role (often in the stage version Tinkerbell is played merely by a floating light and not a real dancer). “Lydia has a great sense of timing,” McCaslin said of his young co-star. “I’ve been
in theater about 30 years, and she’s got the timing of somebody who’s been around for quite some time.” Olson isn’t the only talented young performer making a debut in this production, an idea which Milton said was on his mind from the beginning. The cast is larger than called for, with many young and inexperienced performers getting their first stage time. Ovation! is a teaching studio, Milton explained, and “Peter Pan” is a perfect show for aspiring young actors. “All the little kids are absolutely adorable and they’re all gung-ho for everything,” Riedel said. “It’s fun. I’ve been doing theater for a very long time, and it’s fun to do it with all this new blood.” Ovation! Musical Theatre’s production of “Peter Pan” will run Friday, Dec. 5 to Sunday, Dec. 21.

The Review’s ‘Movember Man’: Gary Bedell BY REVIEW STAFF
The top response to the Review’s online request for “Movember” photos this year (as voted on by the editor and staff) came from Gary Bedell. “I am an island resident and have been doing Movember since 2010 - this is Year 5 for me, and the fourth year I have brought Movember to my place of work [Slalom Consulting],” Bedell said.
The Review’s chosen “Movember Man,” picked from submissions in response to our online request earlier this month, was Gary Bedell. Image courtesy of Gary Bedell
“Growing a mustache to get people talking about men’s health is a small price to pay to get the word out about this great foundation and the work they do - and something I look forward to doing each year,” he said. “I worked hard this year to get a Movember team in every single Slalom office: that’s 16 teams in 12 states, in two continents,” Bedell added. Movember is an annual event involving the growing of mustaches and outlandish facial hair to raise awareness of men’s health issues - such as prostate cancer and associated charities. The Movember Foundation runs the Movember event; learn more at www.
Movember.com. “When I talk about the work the Movember Foundation is doing, I mention that 87 cents of every dollar donated goes toward research, treatment and education for prostate, testicular cancer and mental health issues impacting boys and men,” Bedell said. “The mental health work is something I am very excited to have [as] part of the conversation. I feel we, as a nation, have lots of work to do here to unpack the complexities of mental illness, acknowledge the lack of support for the millions of people suffering from mental illness and work to create affordable, accessible solutions and treatments for people in need of care.”

Park board to ask voters for $6.2 million for Sakai property BY BRIAN KELLY
Bainbridge Island Review
Bainbridge parks officials have decided to ask voters to approve a $6.2 million bond measure to pay for the purchase of the 23-acre Sakai property on Madison Avenue.
LAWSUIT CONTINUED FROM A1
former councilwoman Debbi Lester. In a Nov. 24 decision, Judge Jeannette Dalton ruled the city must cover much of the legal fees racked up by the citizens who fought the city for the public records. The total of $109,345 in lawyer fees awarded by Dalton was lower than the amount sought, but welcomed nonetheless. “I think it was fair,” said Dan Mallove, the attorney representing two Bainbridge residents in the public records lawsuit. City Manager Doug Schulze declined to com-
At the parks board meeting Thursday night, commissioners voted unanimously to put the bond measure on the Feb. 10 ballot. If approved by voters in the special election, the 20-year bonds will pay for the purchase of two parcels of land
between Madison Avenue and Highway 305, just north of High School Road. Parks officials announced earlier that the district has been in negotiations to buy the 23-acre property from the Sakai family. The land had previously been eyed
for development, and the city had previously approved multi-family housing on some of the property in 2004 for the second phase of Sakai Village. The money from the bond sale would also cover some planning and development costs, plus provide
ment, and the city noted the lawsuit is continuing in court. Next up for the case in Kitsap County Superior Court is a hearing in early December over penalties that will be assessed against the city for violating the state’s open records laws. Potential penalty payouts range from $26,770 to $8.2 million, according to Mallove. The public records lawsuit dates back more than a year. Althea Paulson and Robert Fortner filed a suit against the city in September 2013 that claimed the city and councilmen Bonkowski and Ward — and then-councilwoman Lester — failed to turn over public records that had been
requested under the state’s Public Records Act. Paulson and Fortner, a pair of “good government” activists, had sought emails that the council members had sent and received on their personal email accounts to fellow council members and others, which Paulson and Fortner noted was also a violation of the city’s Governance Manual. The manual requires council members to use their city provided email accounts, and to forward any city related emails sent to them privately to the city for retention. In a May decision, Dalton agreed and harshly criticized Ward and Bonkowski for deleting public records
from their email accounts, in violation of the Governance Manual and state law. While the city eventually released thousands of emails — many of them duplicates plus some emails that were never requested — Dalton said the city failed to do an adequate search and also said Bonkowski and Ward’s personal email accounts and computers could be searched for missing records. The city’s lawyers disagreed, largely on privacy grounds, and the city tried to get Dalton’s decision reviewed by the Court of Appeals. The court declined a discretionary chance for the look-over, however, and the superior court case
SEVERANCE CONTINUED FROM A1
Giuntoli was the third of the department’s four lieutenants to retire this year. She was the only officer to receive a severance package, and her departure package includes six months’ of salary of $46,680. City records indicate she will be paid nearly $100,000 after her last day on the job. Documents released by the city after a public records request by the Review also show Giuntoli was investigated for dereliction of duty — and ultimately cleared — in the months before her departure. Giuntoli will be paid a total departure package of $93,299, which includes $36,241 in vacation pay, floating holiday pay, comp time and sick pay, plus $10,378 in Flex and Cobra reimbursements. Though her departure was officially noted as a retirement earlier this month, City Manager Doug Schulze later said Giuntoli’s split with the city was a “negotiated separation.”
Departure planned Giuntoli had been talking about retiring with higher-ups since early October. She submitted a resignation letter to the city Oct. 20 and announced her plan to retire. She signed a four-page separation agreement with the city the following day. “Such a decision naturally causes one to look back on her career with some nostalgia,” Giuntoli said in her resignation letter. “I am proud to have served as a member of the department for
nearly 24 years and will recount my time with the department fondly. A majority of my career with the department included supervisory positions of rank, which enabled me to grow and experience new challenges, such as attending the FBI National Academy.” “While my longevity necessarily means that I have served under various Chiefs of Police, I am thankful for the opportunity to serve as a lieutenant while under your leadership,” she said in her letter to the chief. “As I look forward to new and different opportunities, I will hold the community of Bainbridge Island and the Bainbridge Island Police Department close to my heart. I wish you and my colleagues continued success in the service and protection of this community. Thank you for your continued support as I prepare to leave this lengthy and rewarding career experience in favor of beginning a new and exciting chapter of my life,” she wrote. Her resignation was accepted by Police Chief Matthew Hamner on Oct. 22.
Latest to leave Giuntoli is the third lieutenant to step down this year. Lieutenant Phil Hawkins, who had been with the department 23 years, retired in March. Lieutenant Christopher Jensen, a Bainbridge officer for more than 24 years, retired in May. The three departures leave Lieutenant Bob Day as the department’s remaining lieutenant. The department’s supervisors have been under increased scrutiny in recent years.
Hawkins and Giuntoli were reprimanded two years ago after Hawkins was accused of sleeping while on the job, and Giuntoli was disciplined for not reporting the incident.
Trouble in the ranks Last year, two consultant reports that analyzed problems within the police department were critical of the lieutenants, who serve as the front-line supervisors in the department. One report said the department had been in a “regular state of turmoil” in recent years that led to incidents of insubordination within the ranks of officers. The study said the lieutenants helped create a climate of a lack of discipline within the department, and added that line officers also had a poor view of their supervisors. A different study said the current structure of the city’s police union was problematic because of the lieutenants’ role as supervisors but also as union representatives who defended officers faced with disciplinary actions. Earlier this year, the city abandoned its effort to break up the police union to remove the lieutenants from the bargaining unit that mainly represents the rank-and-file officers. The city is continuing, however, with its effort to remove the rank of lieutenant from the department’s command structure and institute the rank of sergeant instead. Giuntoli’s past with the Bainbridge Island department saw other instances when she was at the center of controversy during the agency’s recent troubled years.
public access, to the Sakai property so it could become a new Winslow-area park. The parks board also approved a purchase-andsale agreement to buy the property at its meeting last Thursday. The park district will pay $5.89 million for the two parcels, which include wetlands, a large pond and stream, and a concrete farmhouse with an
underground bomb shelter. The size of the bond request will give the park district approximately $300,000 to make the land safe for public access. That work includes removing 1950s-era underground fuel tanks, securing a large underground bomb shelter, and building a parking area near Madison Avenue.
picked back up in October. Mallove noted the city has already spent $300,000 for its own lawyers, and he said he expected it to climb even higher, as future appeals when the case is finally complete stretch to the Washington State Supreme Court. “If the city chooses to pursue this to its ultimate judicial resolution, it could cost a million dollars,” he said. In the sanction phase, the penalties are a matter of the judge’s discretion. Penalties can be assessed for each missing record on a per diem basis of $5 to $100, or on a group of records basis of $5 to $100 for each day the records are not released.
Mallove, in court papers, said some records had been withheld for 474 days. He provided the court with extensive charts that show how long certain records were withheld, and the resulting penalties that would add up in the increments of $5, $10, $25, $45, $50, $75 and $100. Estimates of penalties under the two scenarios, based on the scale of $5 to $100, range: • Between $413,780 to $8.2 million for the individual record penalty; and • Between $26,770 to $535,400 for the group records penalty. The sanctions hearing is scheduled for Dec. 8.
Two years ago, Giuntoli was a leader in the police union when it took a vote of “no confidence” vote in former police chief Jon Fehlman after guild claims of alleged mismanagement and law-breaking, and Giuntoli was also one of two females in the department who leveled sex harassment charges against former Police Commander Sue Shultz. Both Fehlman and Shultz left the Bainbridge department soon after internal investigations were finished that found scant evidence of the claims.
Internal investigation Documents released by the city after a public records request by the Review show Giuntoli had been the focus of an internal investigation by the police department in the months before she left the force. Police Chief Matthew Hamner asked Bremerton Police Chief Steven Strachen if his department could do an investigation of Giuntoli for alleged dereliction of duty. Giuntoli was cleared after the investigation, which started in midJune after Hamner became concerned that Giuntoli had been put in charge of putting the Lexipol police policy system in place after the department got the computer software in March 2013, but little was done for Lexipol’s launch. Lexipol was a high profile and high priority change for Bainbridge, and the implementation of the system was highlighted as a much needed fix for the Bainbridge department in the two consultant reports that found problems in the lieutenant ranks, including instances of insubordination and lieutenants “blowing off” assignments.
Hamner, in an interview with investigators, said Giuntoli had been pulled from all other work for four months — and told to stay off the street or not handle 911 calls — to get the Lexipol program changed over to work for Bainbridge. But when she announced it was done in fall 2013, employees started complaining that the new policy manual wasn’t complete and hadn’t been customized for Bainbridge. Another officer stepped in and did the job from scratch in a few months, Hamner noted, while Giuntoli had had several years to get the job done. A review of Giuntoli’s work on Lexipol discovered only a few weeks’ worth of small edits had been made to the manual, such as changing titles. When Giuntoli was interviewed by investigators, she blamed the last two chiefs who led the department, and said she wasn’t given enough direction on the project. She also said she was too busy with other work. In a second interview, she said the department had been going through a great deal of turmoil. “Lt. Giuntoli said she felt paralyzed. Previous chiefs had not allowed her to make decisions and she was not able to change gears overnight when Chief Hamner arrived,” the investigative report said. The investigators said Giuntoli’s poor performance on the project was due to a lack of confidence, and suggested better mentoring was needed. The report also said Bainbridge should better define the roles of lieutenants, and expand decision-making into their ranks.

SPARTAN SPORTS PREVIEW: BOYS BASKETBALL
BHS boys excited to be stepping up to the 3A game BY LUCIANO MARANO
2014-15 boys basketball schedule
Bainbridge Island Review
This season is already a historic one in the storied annals of Bainbridge High School basketball, and the Spartans haven’t even played a single game yet. “This is the first year that Bainbridge has competed out of its classification in school history,” explained Spartan Head Coach Scott Orness. “We are 2A in size, and opting up to compete at the 3A level. The 3A Metro League is, hands down, the toughest league in the state and my team is up for the challenge.” “I expect us to be competitive each and every night,” he added. Competitive they may be, but against who? Indeed, even as the BHS varsity boys team roster takes shape and practices begin in earnest, the exact roll call of future opponents - which already boasts some intimidating names - becomes an ominous question mark and the team’s top competition impossible to predict. “The number of transfers that occur in the Metro League in the off-season is beyond out of control,” Orness explained. “If teams brought back their team from the last year, we would be a front runner. I’ve heard Rainier Beach has four new high level transfers, [Eastside Catholic] got a couple as well as [Seattle] Prep, Garfield and [Bishop] Blanchet.” Allegiances are exchanged and loyalties tested as 3A hoop-happy warriors around the state ready themselves for a season of rebounds, returns and redemption. The starting athletes out front for the Spartans is another list as yet unfinished, according to Orness. “Although we have four starters back from last season and nine of our 11 varsity players (we lost Joey Blacker to graduation and Grant Klausen to a knee injury), I am not sure who our starters are at this time,” he said. “Many players have made tremendous growth in the off-season,” Orness explained. “I could see our

Kelly resigns from Bainbridge Island Planning Commission BY BRIAN KELLY
Bainbridge Island Review
Kate Kelly has resigned from the Bainbridge Island Planning Commission. City Manager Doug Schulze announced her departure at the city council meeting Tuesday, Nov. 18. The resignation was immediate. It comes at a critical time for the seven-member commission, which is currently in the starting phase of a major update of the city’s comprehensive plan. “We will be advertising to fill that as soon as possible,” Schulze said of
the vacancy. The open position will be posted as soon as possible, he said. The city needs a full commission as work continues on the update of the comp plan, the expansive policy document that will guide growth and development on Bainbridge over the next two decades. “We want a full commission,” Schulze said. The planning commission is an advisory body to the city council and makes recommendations on applications for amendments to the comp plan, city zoning and other
land-use matters. Kelly, a former state senator and deputy attorney general for the state of Idaho, works for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. She was appointed to the Bainbridge planning commission in May 2012. Her term was set to expire in June 2016. Kelly resigned in an email sent to Planning Director Kathy Cook and Planning Commission Chairman Mack Pearl on Thursday, Nov. 13. “It is with regret that I write to let you know that I am no longer able to
serve on the planning commission,” she wrote. “After much agonizing, I recently decided to start taking steps toward moving off Bainbridge Island and moving closer to work and the airport. As you are well aware, my job requires a lot of me — including a lot of travel — and the commute was simply becoming too much for me.” Kelly also thanked Cook and Pearl for the chance to work with them on planning issues. “I have very much enjoyed my time serving on the commission, and was very glad to have had

Friday, November 28, 2014 - Bainbridge Island Review
Couple gears up for another old-fashioned holiday season at the Christmas House BY BRIAN KELLY
Bainbridge Island Review
Santa’s workshop may be at the North Pole, but his gift shop sure seems to be on North Bainbridge. The Christmas House opened for its annual preview weekend last week, and the store opens for its regular run through the holiday season with a Thanksgiving Day opening. The vintage store has been a holiday staple on the island for 36 years, said Carolee Pedersen, who operates the Christmas House with her husband Bob, the fixer of clocks and a seasoned wood carver. The vintage store started with an empty house and three women in the neighborhood, but the others faded away after about four years. The shop started small, she recalled, but oh, how it has grown. “It was a half of one room in the house,” Carolee Pedersen said. “Slowly it spread into another room, and then Bob cut a closet out and connected two more rooms.” The couple are both retired; Bob from his job as a jack-of-all-trades for the parks district, and Carolee, as a teacher in Bainbridge, North Kitsap and Kingston schools.

Shoppers packed the Christmas House for the season’s preview event last week, getting first look at all the old-fashioned gifts, trinkets and holiday items as well. The island holiday staple is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from Thanksgiving to Christmas. She laughed when she recalled her decision to step away from the classroom more than a dozen years ago. “They wanted me to use a computer and I didn’t,” she said. The vintage shop expanded out of sheer joy, but some necessity, as well, as Carolee’s medical bills began to rise. “Now it’s the whole house, expect our bedroom,” she said.
Vintage treasures — antique toys, barometers, linens, paintings, old cameras, typewriters, random rubber stamps, plus Christmas merchandise, ornaments and crafts galore — are everywhere. “It’s floor to ceiling and we live in it,” Carolee laughed. “And our grandchildren are not unhappy staying here.” “It just took off and we love it. We are the Christmas House and it is us. It’s our life.”
Bob makes by hand many of the ornaments, and Carolee is a renowned crafter and a whiz with needle and thread. “And Bob makes the best fudge in the world,” she added. During their busy season, he’s usually making three or four batches a week. The Christmas House is filled with holiday fare, but the variety can be a bit overwhelming to a first-time visitor.
Luciano Marano | Bainbridge Island Review
A myriad of holiday decorations adorn several themed rooms in the Christmas House, offering guests a variety of gift and souvenir options.

“On some levels it’s kind of indescribable,” she said. “It looks like a house that’s full and overflowing.” The Christmas House is located in a 1908-built home at 15060 Washington Ave. NE in Port Madison. The shop had its special preview weekend last week, where $5 admission donations were collected for Bainbridge Island HelpLine House and North Kitsap Fishline. The couple spends much of the year on the road, looking for items to bring back for their store. They typically take two cross-country trips a year, with Boston in the spring and the Midwest in the fall. (This year also included a shopping visit to France, a birthday present for Bob.) “The rule is, if we don’t come home with the truck

Robert Joseph Burke Sr. March 7, 1946 - November 15, 2014 Robert Joseph Burke, Sr., aka Bob, passed away peacefully in his Bainbridge Island home, surrounded by his loving family, on November 15, 2014. Bob led a remarkable life and leaves behind an amazing legacy of friends and family that will miss him dearly. The life of Bob started way back on March 7, 1946 in Connecticut. After excelling in sports at Hamden High School, Bob made his way to Villanova where he ended up meeting the love of his life, Sherry. After graduation, Bob was called to duty in the Army, where he became an officer and eventually joined the Special Forces. He was extremely proud of his military service and his tour of duty in Viet Nam as an infantry officer with the 1st Calvary Division (with qualifications as a Paratrooper, Pathfinder, and Green Beret). Bob returned home safely and while still in the service he went to law school and became an attorney. After ten years of active duty, Bob concluded his career in the United States Army Reserves as a Judge Advocate General, attaining the rank of Colonel – or as he proudly would croon, “Full Bird”. In 1979, Bob and his family relocated to Bainbridge Island and he started work at the Seattle law firm, Oles Morrison. He was the managing partner there for twenty years and worked at the firm until his passing. As much as Bob loved his job, his amazing co-workers, and his friends - what always mattered most to him was his family. In times of joy and sorrow, Bob was always a rock and could be counted on to give the best speeches, the best advice, and the best hugs. He had incredible heart, strength, and intelligence that will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. Bob is survived by: his wife Sherry; his sons Rob (Bainbridge Island), Jeff (Seattle) and Tim (Bainbridge Island); his daughter Karen (Bainbridge Island); his daughter-in-laws, Helen, Eliza and Lisa; his son-in-law Drew; his granddaughters Maddie, Lila and Magnolia; his grandsons Hudson, Finn and Baby Boy Burke. Collectively, even without the physical presence of our fearless leader, we are known as TeamBob. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, that donations in Bob’s honor be made to the Wounded Warrior Project. Donations can be made online at www. woundedwarriorproject.org or by phone (855) 448-3997. A Celebration of Bob’s life will be held at 2:30 PM, December 6th, at Grace Episcopal Church, 8595 NE Day Rd, Bainbridge Island, WA . There will be an after-party at the same location. It’s casual dress – because that’s the way Bob would want it. TRIBUTE Paid Notice

Son charged with trafficking stolen property after stealing from father BY REVIEW STAFF
A 26-year-old man who allegedly stole a cell phone, iPad and Blue Ray player from his father on Bainbridge Island was charged with second-degree trafficking in stolen property in Kitsap County District Court. Dashiell Charles Wood was charged with the felony after police alleged he took the three items from his father’s Port Madison home and pawned them at Cash America in Bremerton. The victim called police in early September to say that his son had admitted taking the items and pawning them, and said his son was in jail in Shelton at the time of the conversation, but admitted to the theft because he “wanted to make things better between him and his father.” The man told police he had contacted the pawn store and the items were scheduled to be put up for sale the following day, but the man was unsure how to get his items back without his son being charged. An officer said police could put a hold on the pawned merchandise, valued at $850, but that would mean charging papers would be forward-
ed anyway to the county prosecutor. After the father was also told that removing the items from Cash America without charges would leave the business without reimbursement, the man decided to move forward with prosecution of his son for the theft of the electronics. Second-degree trafficking in stolen property is a felony that carries a maximum prison term of five years and a $10,000 fine upon conviction. Wood was also charged recently in Kitsap County District Court with second-degree vehicle prowling. Police said someone reported seeing a man checking vehicle windows and pulling on door handles in the YMCA parking lot on NE Randall Way in Silverdale on May 29. He was also seen in a Toys ‘R Us parking lot checking vehicles. Wood, who had been living in Silverdale, told officers he was homeless and having a difficult time with drug addiction, but had not taken anything from the vehicles he checked in parking lots near the mall. Police arrested him and booked him for third-degree attempted theft.
Bainbridge blotter Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter: Friday, Oct. 31 10:38 a.m. The night before Halloween, a resident’s ex-wife stopped by his house to retrieve costumes for their children. After ringing the doorbell incessantly, the ex immediately began screaming at the man’s current wife when she answered the door. The ex got so close to his wife, spit hit her in the face. There was no physical contact between the two, but the wife told police that her husband’s ex was out of control, and she wanted the woman to stop her erratic behavior. 11:57 a.m. A resident reported that his 26-year-old son had shown up at his house, was not supposed to be there and was being unruly. The resident told 911 operators that his son was possibly intoxicated or overdosing on prescription medication. When police arrived, however, the son was driving away from the house. Officers pulled him over and he explained that he had always been welcome at the house. But this time, when he walked in with a large piece of luggage, Page A34 his father immediately con-
fronted him. He used foul language and accused the son of being on drugs. The son told police that he is on prescription medication and smokes marijuana, but he was not under the influence of either at the time. Officers noted that though he was a bit agitated and speaking rapidly, the son was not slurring his words, his eyes were clear and he made complete sense. The son told officers that he quit a high paying job and his father was upset about it. His father is also under a lot of stress, the son said. 4:58 p.m. For unknown reasons, a cyclist crashed in the road while riding south bound on Madison Avenue. She was following a fellow cyclist at about 20 mph when she lost control of the bicycle and flipped over the handle bars. Her forehead struck the road. While it appeared the helmet took the majority of the impact, she sustained a substantial contusion on the right side of her forehead, broke a tooth and had injuries to her hand. She told officers that she didn’t believe she lost consciousness. Medics transported the cyclist to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment.

GATHER ‘ROUND THE DOG WAGON
Former deli clerks cook up gourmet hot dogs on the go BY LUCIANO MARANO Bainbridge Island Review
The quintessential spirit of entrepreneurship and hardy “manifest destiny” attitude that makes America the land of opportunity is alive and well, and it tastes great with cream cheese and jalapeños. Of course, neither Coy Wilson or Keith Granger were thinking in such philosophical terms when they started The Dog Wagon, a mobile hot dog eatery serving Hebrew National’s all-beef kosher dogs at various venues on Bainbridge and throughout Kitsap County. They just ran out of cars to detail. “In 2011 Coy started his own mobile detailing business on Bainbridge,” Granger explained. “The problem was that here in the great Northwest, it is not always the best weather for detailing. To supplement the slow season Coy started working in the Safeway deli with me.” Right about now those Review readers who frequent the shopping center on High School Road are undoubtedly thinking, “Oh, that’s where I know those guys!” Yes, indeed, Wilson and Granger quickly became familiar fixtures behind the deli counter, and it was their experience there that ultimately lead them to their true hot-off-the-grill calling. “During our time [at Safeway] we learned everything we needed to know about food service and quality products, one of those products being Hebrew National

So, we began thinking about lucrative businesses that we could start on our own. After reading an article in ‘Entrepreneur’ magazine about hot dog vendors, we decided to start The Dog Wagon.” Wilson was the first to strike out on his own, at first to focus on the detailing businesses full-time. When things got frantic in the peak season, he enlisted Granger with the plan that they would diversify into hot dogs as things slowed down. The rest, as the saying goes, is

Coy Wilson, former Safeway deli clerk and co-founder of The Dog Wagon, cooks up a few Hebrew Nationals all-beef kosher dogs outside of the Bainbridge Island Brewery last week. The mobile eatery can be found outside the Coppertop Loop brewery every Friday, as well as numerous other bars, breweries and public venues throughout the week. history. The Dog Wagon began their inaugural cookout in May at the Kingston Farmers Market [where they can still regularly be found during the season], but the men behind the wagon had even bigger plans already in the works. “A month and a half after being open we contacted Hebrew National and told them about our
Business in Brief J’Aime les Crepes named second in annual TV contest J’Aime les Crepes, the Kingston-based creperie which opened a second location earlier this year on Madrone Lane, was awarded second place in this year’s KING5 Evening Magazine’s “Best of Western Washington.” “This contest is really the biggest one in the area,” explained Paul Pluska, owner of J’Aime les Crepes. “We are in the top three, runner up actually this year,” Pluska said. “There are probably around 100 creperies in western Washington, around 55 were nominated and we are a finalist.” Though he said he was proud of the achievement, such recognition and praise is nothing new for Pluska and his staff. Previous to opening the Bainbridge branch, J’Aime les Crepes had been voted best crepes by KING5 “several
times.” Pluska said he was particularly pleased to see that he and his staff could expand, open a second branch and increase productivity without sacrificing the quality that had made them successful. “Still happy, considering how new we are on Madrone lane,” he said. KING5 ranks crepes under their list of best “cheap eats” along with barbecue, food trucks, pizza, breakfast, burgers and more. The top-ranked place for crepes this year was Savor in Tacoma. The third place spot went to The Crepe Escape & Coffee House in Snohomish. J’aime les Crepes owner Paul Pluska cooked for visitors to the Bainbridge Island farmers market outside of his new Madrone Lane shop location, which officially opened in May.

venture,” Granger explained. “They wanted to help us, so they branded The Dog Wagon.” Being an officially branded operation got The Dog Wagon crew free signs and shirts to improve their budding business. The product itself, however, needs little advertising. Though universally recognized as an essential aspect of Americana,
the hot dog itself actually dates much further back than the land which ultimately adopted and perfected it. According to History.com, the first hot dog was created by Gaius, the personal chef of the notorious Roman emperor Nero. Eventually, the recipe made its TURN TO HOT DOGS | A36

way to Germany — where even today two towns claim to be the original birthplace of the modern hot dog. “Frankfurt claims the frankfurter was invented there over 500 years ago, in 1484, eight years before Columbus set sail for America,” the History.org article reads. “But the people of Vienna (Wien, in German) say they are the true originators of the ‘wienerwurst.’ No matter which town might
have originated this particular sausage, it’s generally agreed that German immigrants to New York were the first to sell wieners, from a pushcart, in the 1860s.” There in the origins of the food’s stateside debut, lies the key to the entire hot dog dynasty. What has long appealed to a busy American workforce most about hot dogs is undoubtedly their portability, a theme Wilson and Granger took a step further by making their entire operation mobile. “I think probably the best perk is not having any kind of overhead,” Wilson

They also cater private events and parties. For two young first-time entrepreneurs, being their own boss was an exciting and scary prospect, but one that they both now say is worth the risk. “It was exciting knowing that I’m going to be my own boss, but it was scary because I’ve never not had a job,” Wilson remembered. “I didn’t know if I should hang on to that [deli] job and do this, but a lot of people I talked to that do food said that’s not one of those things you can do part-time. I think it was worth it in the end.”
Seattle, along with her southern neighbor Portland, is known throughout the country as some of the best locales to find delicious mobile food operations.

After 25 years of business, former owner Jerry Clark considered drawing the curtains on the shop last year. Public outcry over the island favorite, however, stopped its closure in its tracks. Instead, the shop was moved to a smaller location off Hildebrand Lane, behind the Island Village Shopping Center. “We moved, and people just assumed that we closed,” Randall explained of the store’s transition. “I thought it would be a shame for it to be closed down.” Clark handed the reins the next year to one of his most trusted employees, and Randall expects to bring Silver Screen Video back into the limelight. “These days, the big problem is the streaming services,” Randall said.
“Online streaming services are very convenient and take a good portion of the business, but they don’t offer very much selection and browsing experience.” For example, Randall said, Netflix has just four Robin Williams movies. Silver Screen has dedicated a new section with 46 Williams titles. “Initially what people thought was that this digital revolution would be increasing selection, but it’s not,” Randall said. “It’s just giving enough to put stores out of business. Some is all you can get now.” The sections Silver Screen has, though, are tailored to Bainbridge to be just what people on the island like, plus some. “Rather than just having comedy, we have classic ’80s comedy or a Tom Hanks section,” Randall added counting off several other comedian actors who have dedicated sections in the store. Silver Screen is upping its browsing experience to emulate more of a book store in the way it has singled out film favorites by actor, genre and generation.
“It’s so amazing to see them all in one place,” Randall said. Movies and Randall have always gone well together. After a year and a half as a legal assistant, Randall moved to Bainbridge Island after college. He spent a lot of time in video stores and worked at Silver Screen on and off, never quite able to walk away. Atop the allure of films, he saw the role Silver Screen played in the community. “It’s fun to be able to see people around, talking to folks is the best part,” Randall said of seeing regulars inside and outside the store. Silver Screen also donates to movie night for the swim center, the teen center and some of the retirement homes on the island. The store also gives away DVDs for charity raffles and fundraisers. “Most places don’t have a video store anymore,” Randall said. “The only options they have are the limited selections they’d get at a Redbox or online. If they want to see an old favorite, they can’t.”

The masks of Lightwire Theater create illuminating characters.
lightwire
Continued from page 2 The show features nutcracker soldiers, rats, gloworms, flowers, a Christmas tree and many other characters, all brought to life using modern, illuminating tech and performed in complete darkness. Lightwire Theater doesn’t use dialogue to progress its stories, rather, it’s entirely done with music and dancing. The stage is dark — darker than it normally would be for other productions. The wires cast light in shapes and patterns, which dancers then use to create the characters and stories. It’s like a mixture of ballet and Tron. The format works well for Carney, who with his wife, Eleanore, come from a dancing background. “My wife and I, as a career, are ballet dancers,”
Carney said. “We danced lots of Nutcrackers and Romeo and Juliets and classical ballet. I was always raised with classical ballet. The bonus of that was that I was not raised with words, I was raised with telling stories wordlessly.” He added, “If the emotion is too big to speak, you sing it, and if it’s too big to sing it, you dance it.” The wordless act breaks through borders and finds audiences with people who may not normally attend theater, Carney said. “We’ve performed all over the world because of that,” he said. “There’s no translation. We go to Hong Kong and we do the same show. Whether it’s Russia or Columbia or Germany.” While viewers may not have seen them in Hong Kong or Russia, they may recognize the company from TV.

performed in season 7 of “America’s Got Talent.” It’s tech-savvy performances brought them to the top four acts. “It was a good experience. We were nervous going into it,” Carney said. “They had found us on YouTube. They called us to be a part of it.” The theater company had mixed feelings about appearing on such a show that verged on reality TV, Carney said. At the time, Lightwire Theater was emerging as a successful family business. “But you can’t deny the exposure it would give,” Carney said. “ And a lot has come from ‘America’s Got Talent.’ We did a competition show in France because of ‘America’s Got Talent.’ We toured with

Lightwire Theater often uses animals for the characters of its shows. Sony to introduce a new phone in France.” Now, Lightwire Theater is back on TV, this time in a new competition-based show, “Fake Off,” airing on Tru TV. “This competition show has 10 acts in it,” Carney said. We just did our second performance on (Nov. 17).” The show airs every Monday until its conclusion. The show gives each artistic team a challenge that is based in pop culture. Each team then finds a way to interpret it in its own unique way. “It’s a bit more celebratory than sensational,” Carney said. “They delve into the artist a little bit more.” While Lightwire is
brightening up TV, Carney said that to truly see what the buzz is all about, viewers need to get to a theater. “The television side has been good to us and given us a wider viewership for our live shows which is where we shine,” he said. “When you see it live, it’s a whole other thing. If you’ve seen it on ‘America’s Got Talent’ and liked it there, when you see it live, it’s a whole other visual.” That visual, and the modern, tech-friendly methods of storytelling speaks to the aspiration of Lightwire Theater, Carney said, which is to introduce theater to audiences that aren’t inclined to go. “Because of its visual

components and its storytelling, we feel like we have an opportunity to get people back into the theater,” he said. “The theater is competing against DVD and blogging and video games and everything that takes you away from the human experience.” Carney said he enjoys taking crafts that are thousands of years old and reintroducing them. “Puppetry and dance and storytelling are old, but now it’s upgraded,” he said. “We bring it to today’s audience, and it seems as current as the new Apple computer, but it’s really based in ancient times. We really enjoy that aspect of doing what we do.”

Kitsap discusses ‘school-to-prison pipeline’ By RICHARD D. Oxley Kitsap Week

issue that affects our dayto-day,” said Tracy Flood of the Kitsap Council for Human Rights. “We are all humans first, and issues that affect our day-to-day are important. We deal with them in one way or another through tax dollars. Education is key.” Education is the focus — in more ways than one — of the annual Human Rights Conference in Kitsap on Dec. 5. The conference takes place each year, hosted by the Kitsap Council for Human Rights. The council’s role is to educate the public on various human rights issues. This year’s conference topic is the “school-toprison pipeline,” a term applied to a variety of issues that take young people out of the school system and into the criminal justice system. In short, the school-toprison pipeline could be anything that neglects a student’s needs, from learning disabilities to poverty or abuse. These needs can translate into disciplinary action or neglect. That, in turn, puts students on a path from school-to-prison. “Getting word out is so important,” Flood said. “There is this track that happens and it affects so many.” “It can be discipline systems, how you deal with students with disabilities or truancies,” she said. “It’s the way they are disciplined and miss out
HumAn RIgHts COnfeRenCe: tHe ‘sCHOOl-tO-pRIsOn pIpelIne’ What: A conference on the issue of the “school to prison” pipeline, with discussion panels. Keynote speaker: State Supreme Court Justice Debra L. Stephens. When: Dec. 5, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Where: The Kitsap Conference Center, 100 Washington Ave., Bremerton. Cost: $65 adults, $50 youth younger than 18.
on day-to-day classroom activity, and that puts them on the fast track to the prison system.” The issue has picked up attention across the nation. Organizations such as the ACLU and the Justice Policy Center have taken up the cause. Policies such as zero-tolerance discipline, excessive police presence for minor school misconduct, or high-stakes testing have been cited as key problems in school structures. The thought is that by engaging in such practices and policies, certain populations of students — such as low income, minorities, students suffering from abuse, or those with learning disabilities — are pushed into systems that lead to the criminal justice system. Proponents of bringing awareness to the issue often promote that education, not incarceration, is a prime solution to the problem. Closer to Washington state, public school proponents have closely watched the McCleary decision, a state Supreme Court ruling that is holding the Legislature accountable for underfunding schools. This underfunding is viewed as one contributor to the school-to-prison pipeline
issue. “Funding is key,” Flood said. “Finances have affected schools.” Flood points to cuts in schools that take away time with teachers and cause classrooms to become overcrowded, making an unfavorable school environment. For example, Flood said, students used to have equal time with different departments. Now, because of funding cuts, some are not as present as others. “When I was in school, we had a PE teacher that was just as involved as the English teacher,” she said. “Now, it’s an option. It’s one of those things that was cut. It’s not as much of a priority as it used to be. It used to be Monday through Friday that you were in PE. Now, not so much.” Funding is so significant, that the keynote speaker this year is state Supreme Court Justice Debra L. Stephens. The court has ruled in recent years that the Legislature has been out of step with the state Constitution by underfunding public schools. The court is now holding the Legislature accountable. Other features of the conference will be expert and youth panels and vendors.

he Port Gamble Theater Company is taking a classic tale of a little girl, and not changing it at all. The theater company will perform “Heidi” on Dec. 5-21. The company is sticking “straight with the script,” theater company board president Scott Snively said. “Don’t really want to mess with this one.” The light-hearted, family-friendly tale of a girl raised by her grandfather fits in with the company’s focus on classic literature and drama, Snively said. As the last production of the year, it also fits well with Port Gamble’s Country Christmas theme. Snively said the production will interest younger generations, while offering those who remember variations of the tale — such as the 1937 Shirley Temple film — fond memories. “Heidi” is the story of a girl who goes to live with her aunt after her parents die. In turn, Heidi is taken to the mountains by her aunt so she can live with her grandfather. Her grandfather turns out to be a less-than-pleasant person. Eventually, Heidi’s infectious personality begins to change the grandfather from grumpy to kind. But that’s just part of Heidi’s tale the Port Gamble Theater Company will tell in December. The production will be directed by Glenna Snively, who has been assistant director for a

Birders are out for the count this season KITSAP BIRDING Kitsap Audubon members participate in a previous year’s count. Don Willott / Contributed
By GENE BULLOCK
O
n Dec. 20, some 60-80 birdwatchers will train their binoculars on bushes, trees and waterways all over Kitsap County and count every bird they see. The Christmas Bird Count is a 114-year-old tradition that involves tens of thousands of participants in more than 2,300 count circles throughout the Western Hemisphere. The Kitsap Audubon Society has been sponsoring Kitsap’s count for more than 40 years. Rain or shine, eight teams will scour the landscape for birds in assigned areas
Great blue herons are a familiar sight on Kitsap waterways. Here, they stand motionless like statues, waiting for prey to come close. Jay Wiggs / Contributed inside Kitsap Audubon’s designated 15-mile-diameter circle. Another team will start counting owls shortly after midnight. Many participants will opt to count birds in their own backyards as feederwatch volunteers. It’s a fun way for beginners to learn from experienced leaders and discover new places to bird. It’s also a friendly, but spirited competition to see
who can come up with the most species. The Kitsap count usually comes up with 112 to 115 species, and often produces a few surprises. Prior to 1900, commercial market hunters had hunted many bird species to the brink of extinction for their meat and feathers. Sportsmen also engaged in a holiday tradition known as the Christmas Side Hunt:
They would choose sides and compete to see which side could kill the most birds and small game in a single day. There was mounting concern among members of the fledgling Audubon Society about declining bird populations. Ornithologist Frank Chapman suggested a new holiday tradition — a Christmas Bird Census — that would count birds during the holidays rather
than shoot them. The tradition caught on, and today it is more popular than ever. It has become the longest-running citizen-science bird event in the world. The data collected over the last century allow researchers, conservation biologists, and other interested individuals to study the long-term health and status of bird populations across North America. When combined with other surveys such as the Breeding Bird Survey, it provides a picture of how the continent’s bird pop-
ulations have changed in time and space over the past hundred years. The data has helped scientists and policy-makers identify threats to birds and habitat, and promote broad awareness of the need to address them. While it is gratifying to know that the data you’re collecting benefits birds and science, the real reason for the popularity of Christmas Bird Counts is that they’re fun!

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx

Affordable white wines for the holidays A
s we head into the holiday season, we often find ourselves attending or hosting festive events. Thus, it’s always good to have several bottles of wine on hand. During the past couple of months, we have tasted many wines that qualify as good values, costing $15 or less. Today, we take a look at a few white wines. Most of these wines should be fairly easy to find at your favorite wine merchant. If not, contact the wineries directly. ■ Barnard Griffin 2013 Riesling, Columbia Valley, $10: A greeting of fruit salad aromas includes lychee, apricot and pineapple, backed by slate and lime. On the palate, the focus is on flavors of lime, pineapple and lemongrass, introduced by a bold blast of acidity that never slows down amid the residual sugar of 1 percent. In the finish are complexities of jasmine and minerality, allowing for suggested pairings with poultry and seafood. (11.8 percent alcohol) ■ Firesteed Cellars 2013 Pinot Noir Rosé, Willamette Valley, $14: Pretty aromas of Rainier cherry, ripe strawberry, rhubarb and peach also come with hints of cotton candy and a dusty country road. It’s presented in a bone-dry style with red raspberry, cherry/rhubarb compote and dried strawberry, all surrounded by refreshing acidity. That makes it remarkably versatile for food applications. (13.1 percent alcohol) ■ Vino La Monarcha 2013 Pinot Grigio, Columbia Valley, $15: Victor Palencia, raised in the Yakima Valley, is one of Washington’s finest young winemakers. This label for his Palencia Wine Co., in Walla Walla is as dazzling as it is affordable. It opens with tropical aromas of citrus and cardamom along with apricot, cotton candy, rose petal and spearmint. It’s a fun drink that’s loaded with white peach, tangerine and sweet herbs. (12.3 percent alcohol) ■ Daven Lore Winery 2013 Dry Riesling, Yakima Valley, $15: This is a glass brimming

with aromas of Golden Delicious apple, apricot, lime and slaty. The drink is light and refreshing with Granny Smith apple, Bosc pear and limeade. Pair this with spicy fare along the lines of Thai ginger beef. Mongolian beef also should work well. (13.2 percent alcohol) ■ Milbrandt Vineyards 2013 Evergreen Vineyard Traditions Riesling, Columbia Valley, $13: This wine launches with a nose of honeydew melon and ambrosia salad with peach, backed by lime, horehound and Aussie black licorice. The entry is crisp with flavors of limeade followed by a rich and broad midpalate with melon, backed by minerality and Mandarin orange acidity in the finish. Its residual sugar of 1.1 percent comes across dry, making for a mean-
kitsapweek
dering story to tell and reminiscent of something from Alsace. (11.5 percent alcohol) ■ Airfield Estates 2012 Viognier, Yakima Valley, $15: Aromas of
pink grapefruit, cotton candy, orange Circus Peanut candy and freshcut celery lead into a striking structure of Asian pear, quince, honeydew melon and
lime. Suggested pairings include pasta, pork, salmon and stir-fry. (14.5 percent alcohol) ■ Mercer Estates 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, Yakima Valley, $13: The nose is focused on dusty Granny Smith apple, fresh mint and rosewater. On the pour, it’s racy and steely from start to finish with gooseberry, lime juice and wet stone, making for a dry and delicious drink that’s available in more than 40 states. (13.3
page 19
percent alcohol) ■ Ste. Chapelle 2012 Chardonnay, Snake River Valley, $12: A whiff of this delicious wine offers aromas of cotton candy, pear, honeydew melon, ghee and candy corn. On the pour, the oak treatment brings a rich and tropical entry of fresh pineapple, mango and papaya with butter on the midpalate. And yet, refreshing acidity continues to pulse through the wine. Suggested pairings range from grilled seafood, roast chicken, mild cheeses and creamy pasta. (13.9 percent alcohol) — www.greatnorthwestwine.com.
