Ward calls it quits, resigns from council seat City signs off on $487k settlement agreement

BY BRIAN KELLY
Bainbridge council agrees on process to find new Central Ward councilman, A8.
David Ward submitted his resignation letter to the city Wednesday. In it, the former Central Ward councilman made no mention of the public records lawsuit and settlement that forced his departure from the city council. Instead, he cited “health reasons” for quitting his post on the council. It was a rare resignation: City officials could not recall another resignation on the city council in the past 20 years. In the letter, dated Dec. 9, Ward wrote: “Dear Council Members: I need to memorialize my resignation to city council. To this point, it has just been conveyed to you verbally. Effective immediately, I am resigning my position on the council for health reasons. While I have enjoyed serving the citizens of the Island, I need to give my full attention to my recovery.” Ward had told his council col-
and Bonkowski could be searched for missing records, along with the hard drives of their personal computers. The city reached a settlement agreement with Paulson and Fortner early last week after an 11-hour marathon mediation meeting in Seattle. In the agreement, Ward agreed to step down while Bonkowski was spared from having to turn over his computer and email account for further inspection. Before the agreement was signed, Ward also admitted that evidence in the court case had been destroyed. His attorney said the computer that he had been using for his personal email account was owned by his employer, and the laptop had been returned upon his retirement and had since been wiped clean.

Ward, who was three years into a four-year term, was forced to step down as part of a settlement agreement that ended a public records lawsuit against the city. Bainbridge agreed last week to
pay a settlement totaling $487,790 to Althea Paulson and Bob Fortner, who filed a public records lawsuit against the city last year after the city failed to provide emails that were sent between council members Ward, Councilman Steve Bonkowski and then-councilwoman Debbi Lester that focused on city business.
A Superior Court judge ruled in May that the city did not do an adequate job of searching for the public records that were requested, and the decision included a scathing rebuke of Ward and Bonkowski for deleting emails from their personal email accounts that were public records. The judge also said the personal email accounts of Ward

Bainbridge will bump up staffing at Station 23 with three new firefighters Officials consider levy request to pay for more employees BY BRIAN KELLY
Bainbridge Island Review
Bainbridge fire officials took a first step toward staffing Station 23 around the clock by unanimously voting to give Fire Chief Hank Teran the go-ahead to immediately hire three new firefighters. The Bainbridge Island Fire Department will tap its reserve funds to pay for the firefighters at an expected cost of roughly $300,000. North End residents have been pressing the department to fully staff Station 23, the department’s station on Phelps Road, in recent months. The issue took on added importance last month after a fire destroyed a north end home, and the first units on the scene came
from North Kitsap. At a special meeting Monday called to address staffing issues, fire department officials presented different levy options that would pay for the nine firefighters needed — two each for three shifts — at Station 23. Board members were divided on whether to hire nine new firefighters, or just six and rely on overtime to fill the other three slots needed to staff Station 23 full time. Board Chairman Scott Isenman said he was worried about employee burnout by relying too much on overtime. He also noted that hiring nine new firefighters would give the department a greater pool of emergency responders to call upon during times of crisis. “Bear in mind when the big one hits, you can call in

Cho, however, noted that the department’s south end station also relies on employees
working overtime to cover 24/7 staffing. After the vote to immedi-
ately hire three new firefighters, board members decided to put off a final decision on how many new firefighters to hire overall. But not for long. The board asked for more information on adjusting possible levy rates, with the plan to take action on a resolution later this week, that could result in increased staffing and a continuation of the department’s EMS levy. Board members asked for two resolutions for Thursday’s meeting; one that would call for a 14-cent increase in the levy rate that would raise the levy from the 2015 rate of 86 cents to $1 (per $1,000 of assessed valuation) and pay for nine new firefighters, or one that would raise the rate by 9 cents to 95 cents (per $1,000 of assessed valuation) and pay for six new firefighters TURN TO STATION | A7

Pedestrian hit on High School Road A visitor from Rising Sun, Maryland was taken to Harrison Medical Center with a possible head injury after she was hit by a car while crossing High School Road near Starbucks just before 7:30 a.m. Monday morning. The accident was the second in recent weeks where a pedestrian has been hit and injured in a crosswalk. Roger Fredrickson, the owner of the downtown gift store Millstream, is still recovering after being hit by a driver while walking across Winslow Way at the crosswalk next to Madison Avenue just before 6:30 p.m. Nov. 24. In this week’s accident, a 59-year-old woman was struck in the crosswalk on High School Road near Hildebrand Lane on Dec. 8.
According to a Bainbridge Island police report, a 60-year-old Bainbridge woman in a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer hit the pedestrian just after she entered the crosswalk. She then fell and hit her head. A witness in another vehicle said the Lancer was not traveling very fast when it hit the pedestrian. The driver of the Mitsubishi was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

Townsend to be deputy mayor Bainbridge City Councilman Roger Townsend will take over as deputy mayor in January, but for a shortened term that will run for three months. The city council elected Townsend to the post at its meeting Tuesday, and noted the term was cut in half because of potential schedule conflicts for Townsend, an attorney and founding member of the Seattle law firm Breskin, Johnson & Townsend. The vote was 5-1, with Townsend abstaining.
His fellow council members quipped that Townsend would be given an option to renew his deputy mayor duties in three months. Council members pick from their ranks to choose a mayor and deputy mayor, and the ceremonial posts carry the tasks of helping to set the weekly agenda, running council meetings and representing the city.

In Our Opinion
Outage put lives at risk
A
report released by the staff for the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission prompts critical concerns over CenturyLink’s outsourcing of pieces of its 911 network to Colorado-based Intrado. Last week’s report examined the statewide 911 outage across Washington that happened April 9-10, and the analysis details how 6.9 million residents of Washington state lost the ability to call 911 from landline, wireless and Internet-based telephones. The outage had real effects in counties throughout the state, from heart attack and assault victims trying to call 911 for help to those who had seen vehicle crashes and were trying to alert emergency responders. Here in Kitsap County, the report notes, people involved in a car crash tried to call 911 during the outage but were unable to reach dispatchers, and an aid car at the scene also couldn’t get through. At Harrison Medical Center, workers tried to report a patient who had overdosed but could not reach 911. While investigators admitted the full impacts of the outage may never be known, at least 5,840 attempted 911 calls failed to properly reach emergency services during the outage in Washington. “It will likely never be known the true extent of the harm to the public. Thousands of callers reached out for help and did not receive it. CenturyLink failed to ensure that the 911 system was fully operational and all possible backup systems were operational,” the report states. The WUTC said the unprecedented six-hour 911 system outage was caused by errors that started in a data center owned and managed by CenturyLink’s 911 vendor. The report said the 911 system failure was “due to a foreseeable and preventable technical error and related deficiencies.” Another disturbing aspect of the report was the revelation that CenturyLink didn’t promptly notify 911 call centers that the 911 system had gone down. Staff for the utility commission have recommended a penalty up to $2.9 million for 11,731 violations of commission laws and rules. The penalty seems in line with the seriousness of the outage, and the commission should heed the advice of staff and pursue the penalty as well as order the recommended improvements to the infrastructure of the 911 system, and require annual reports on maintenance and inspections of the system.

Letters In response
Much more can be done to help save lives To the editor: Peter Brady is correct, I-594 is “Chicken Little.” He mentioned that during 20082010 firearm homicide in Washington state stood at 119 victims. I am thankful that Mr. Brady did this research and advised us so eloquently that guns do kill people. He seems to ask for a less “Chicken Little” approach, and I totally agree with him. Lets outlaw all high capacity firearms and require a fingerprint lock on any legal handgun or hunting rifle. The nay-sayer will claim that this can’t be done. Let us look at countries that have very restrictive gun control laws and learn from them how they approach gun ownership and what their firearm homicide rate is. Our government regulates seatbelt use to protect us, why not regulate guns to protect others? Our government has building and plumbing and electrical codes, foundation and roofing and insulating requirements to make sure we have safe homes, but it has very lax firearm regulations. The government even requires ignition locks and keys tooled for only that lock for our cars, but no lock for firearms. That’s why even little kids can shoot their playmates or siblings by accident. Thank you, Mr. Brady, for pointing out that I-594 is not enough. JAMES BEHREND Bainbridge Island
Activists deserve thanks Write a letter for exposing wrongdoing and change a life To the editor: I would like to extend my sincere thank you and congratulations to Althea Paulson and Bob Fortner for caring enough about our city to expose wrongdoing, even at enormous time and expense to themselves. From the articles I have read, apparently, one council member not only refused to turn over personal emails that related to city business but also lied about it; while the other member is hiding behind his constitutional rights by refusing to turn over similar documents and clearly breaking state law. That the current city council would even think there was cause to appeal and then approve the legal fees for such is really the waste of our tax dollars. A large amount of money has been awarded to the two concerned citizens because a large award is necessary if local governments are going to pay attention. Criminal acts by our representatives should cost a lot of money. What Paulson or Fortner do with the money is of no concern to me. What is of concern to me is that our city council operates within the law and that transparency to their deliberative process be maintained. I hope that Ms. Paulson and Mr. Fortner will use those funds to continue their activities in participating in our local government. This case has had a positive impact for communities throughout our state and because of this ruling various jurisdictions are reviewing their policies and procedures to ensure they are within the law. That is a good thing. PAULA JOHNSON Bainbridge Island
To the editor: A handwritten letter is a powerful tool. Especially when combined with thousands of others. Amnesty International uses this tool to put pressure on governments to shine a light on forgotten prisoners. This year, the Kitsap County Chapter of Amnesty International is again joining this effort through their annual Write for Rights event. The public is invited to join us as we gather to learn about seven cases of injustice from human rights defender Liu Ping in China to a beaten, tortured youth in Nigeria — and then write letters on their behalf. It’s a life-changing experience and it works. Every year, Amnesty International campaigns help release prisoners, improve their conditions, or further the cause for basic human rights. Please join us this holiday season on Saturday, Dec. 13, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the Bainbridge Island Public Library (1270 Madison Ave. N). There is no simpler way to make a difference in the world than to sit down and write letters to officials to either respectfully protest injustice or to write a card of encouragement to a neglected prisoner. And, you’ll meet new friends in the process. Write a letter and change a life, including yours, as we work together to shine a light across the globe. For more information, contact Michael Camp at 360-265-4401 or michaelwcamp@comcast.net.

WARD CONTINUED FROM A1
His lawyer also noted that Ward had given false information while under oath in the court case about his search for missing records. The settlement came after the court decision against the city and a recent decision by the Court of Appeals not to review the case. Kitsap County Superior Court Judge Jeannette Dalton had also already ruled that the city was obliged to cover most of Paulson and Fortner’s legal fees — an amount totaling $109,345. Even so, the settlement was a long time coming. Paulson and her attorney, Dan Mallove, met with the city July 17, 2013 to warn city officials that a public records lawsuit was imminent if the city did not provide the records that had been requested. Soon after the lawsuit was filed, Mallove met with city officials and offered to settle the case if Bonkowski,

(with the department using firefighters on overtime to cover any remaining openings during shifts). Board members said they wanted to put the levy before voters in February, along with a bond measure that could pay for new and improved fire halls. A standing-room-only crowd chimed in repeatedly throughout the board’s discussion, with some of them calling out for higher taxes to pay for complete full-time staffing at the station. Gina Batali, a North Island resident who has been rallying neighbors to press the fire department for full staffing at Station 23, noted how the attitude had changed on the board over the past few months. “This is like such a different meeting,” Batali said. Batali said she trusted fire officials to be prudent with the funds that taxpayers will

Ward and Lester agreed to turn over the hard drives of their personal computers to the city for an independent, third-party inspection for emails that should have been released. The lawsuit would be dismissed, Mallove told the city attorney at that meeting, if the city then released any emails on city business that were discovered on the computers. The only money sought in that settlement offer was $710, the filing costs for the lawsuit and service fees. The city refused and the court battle continued. Last week, attorneys for both sides hammered out an agreement with the help of mediator Paris Kallas of the Seattle-based firm of Judicial Dispute Resolution. The settlement agreement was approved by the council Dec. 2 after city officials discussed the contract in a closed-door executive session. It was approved by a 4-1 vote of the council, with Councilwoman Sarah Blossom voting against the agreement.
On Tuesday, the case came to a close. City officials signed the settlement agreement, and Ward tendered his resignation. City officials said Wednesday that the city has spent $264,837 on legal fees for the lawsuit, not including additional payments for legal work completed in December or the costs of the settlement. The city’s total cost of the lawsuit in legal fees and the settlement is $752,627. That amount does not include staff time at city hall and other internal costs for the court case. The settlement is expected to be paid early next year and will not be covered by the city’s insurance. The settlement payment is also expected to require a budget amendment that must be approved by the city council. Paulson again said Wednesday that she and Fortner are not planning to keep the settlement money. “We intend to give the proceeds to island nonprofits,” Paulson said.
provide. “If I had a dollar, I would want this group to spend it,” she said. Department officials said it would take at least six months of training before Bainbridge saw benefits from the staffing increase, and a full year before the new hires were fully trained on all of the department’s apparatus.
“The sooner we bring them on the sooner we are able to open the doors here,” Assistant Chief Jared Moravec said of Station 23. Commissioners also asked staff to prepare a resolution that would put a $17.1 million bond measure on the February ballot. Proceeds from the bond sale would pay for the fire hall rebuilding and remodeling project.

Bainbridge starts search to find new council member Applications for open seat are due by Dec. 30 BY BRIAN KELLY
Bainbridge Island Review
The city of Bainbridge Island started its search for a new council member this week to fill the seat vacated by the resignation of Councilman David Ward. Ward agreed to step down from his Central Ward seat
on the city council as part of a settlement agreement made by the city Dec. 2 to end a Superior Court lawsuit that was filed against the city after it failed to release public records sent to the personal email accounts of Ward, Councilman Steve Bonkowski and then-councilwoman Debbi Lester. The council authorized City Manager Doug Schulze to sign a $487,790 settlement agreement with Althea

Paulson and Bob Fortner, the pair who sued the city over public records that had been asked for but were withheld, on a 4-1 vote at the council meeting Tuesday. Ward did not attend that meeting, and Schulze deflected comments about his agreed-to resignation afterward on the basis that a final settlement agreement had not yet been inked. Schulze, City Attorney Lisa Marshall and the two outside attorneys that fought the public records lawsuit, Kathleen J. Haggard, who represented the city and Jessica Goldman, Ward’s attorney, signed the settlement agreement Dec. 1 that included the $487,790 payout and the inclusion of Ward’s resignation. The agreement was also signed by Paulson and Fortner, and their attorney, Dan Mallove. The city acknowledged last Friday, however, that Ward is stepping down. And this week, the city council signed off on the process that will be used to find a new councilor for the seven-member body. According to the city,
Bainbridge will not have a replacement council member until Jan. 20. The appointee will serve until a new Central Ward council member is elected in the November 2015 General Election and election results are certified. The council vacancy was posted Wednesday, Dec. 10. Applications for those who would like to be considered for the vacant position will be due by 4 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 30.

Proposal for Manitou Beach parking prompts jeers, cheers BY BRIAN KELLY
Bainbridge Island Review
The city will continue to look at the possibilities for putting a parking lot for beach-goers on city-owned land on Manitou Beach Drive, but Bainbridge council members last week indicated it wouldn’t be a front-burner project until 2016. The Bainbridge council got an update at its last study session on a proposal to build a low-impact parking lot for beach-goers on Manitou Beach Drive. The city owns waterfront land on Manitou Beach Drive, and last April, the council offered its support for constructing a parking lot for visitors to the property, which would eventually be declared surplus land and transferred to the Bainbridge parks district. At the study session Dec. 2, city officials detailed different options for constructing a parking lot on the land. The options include a three-, four- or six-stall parking lot. All three options are estimated to cost less than $20,000 to build, and the lot could be constructed by public works staff, according to the city. Development of the property will
be limited by a small wetland on the property. The wetland appears to be smaller than 1,000 square feet in size, according to city staff, but a study will be done to determine its boundaries and its classification.
Access to the beach City staff earlier said the new parking lot would promote public access to the beach, and visitors will be able to enjoy the view of the Seattle skyline, access the city’s tideland parcel, and launch handheld watercraft. A small bicycle rack, a bench or two, a trail leading to the shoreline, and pedestrian-crossing pavement markings could also become part of the project. The city bought the beach property in 2003 with funding from an open space bond.
Neighborhood not happy Residents in the neighborhood are opposed to the new lot, however. The city received a petition signed by residents of 37 nearby households who opposed a parking lot for cars. “Manitou Beach is not an appropriate site for situating a ‘pocket
park’ with parking,” the petition states. “Parking for motorized vehicles encourages heavy use that is incompatible with both the existing residential neighborhood use and the environment, putting the local wetlands and beach at risk as well as creating adversity between local residents and those coming to use such an expanded facility.” The petition called for the city to designate the property as non-motorized access only. It also noted that beach fires, noise, trash and broken bottles from drinking parties were problems when parking was available in the past along the beach. Those concerns echoed again at last week’s study session. Neighbors to the city’s land warned against developing on a parcel with a sensitive wetland and the problems that would arise if it was public parkland. Linda Sohlberg, an architect who lives in the neighborhood, said the land was originally proposed for purchase as open space. “Open space, which, to most of us, does not include a parking lot particularly within what you all have designated as a wetlands,” she said. Sohlberg said the property is
susceptible to seasonal flooding, and gave the council photographs of the land under water. Development of the land with a parking lot would increase the potential for flooding in the neighborhood, she said. “Maybe not by much, but we get more and more every year,” Sohlberg said. The neighborhood needs to be more involved with what happens with the property, she said. “We’re very leery of having a parking lot,” she said. An empty house on the property previously turned into “party central,” she recalled. “It created a ton of garbage, a ton of noise, a ton of beach fires and a ton of problems.”
Walkers excited about plan Other Bainbridge residents said the parking lot was a good idea, especially for people who would want to put in a kayak, or parents with strollers. Charles Schmid suggested reducing the lot to two stalls, and limit park use to daylight use only. “I truly adore that beach,” said Maradel Gale, who recalled her wonderful walks along Manitou when a friend lived there. Some of the comments shared
earlier, she said, reminded her of road end disputes on the island, where neighbors didn’t want to share what was there, “where people want to keep it for themselves.” “It’s sort like, ‘I’ve got mine, keep everybody else out of here’ feeling. And that’s very sad,” Gale said. She recalled her own experience, when a park popped up next to her in Winslow, “five feet from my bedroom,” after the property owner converted a parcel into beautiful garden. That private property, called Red Pine Park, was recently donated to the Bainbridge Island parks district and is now open to the public. “It’s a delightful addition to our neighborhood,” she said. “I am so happy that is there. It’s a delight to see people out enjoying it.” “I want the same thing here,” Gale added. “It needs to happen.” Deputy City Manager Morgan Smith stressed that the future of the land will be determined after much public outreach. Mayor Anne Blair suggested looking at the project for 2016 if the council agreed. “There have been a lot of good ideas, and this is only the beginning,” Blair said.
Council approves appointment for three new harbor commissioners BY BRIAN KELLY
Bainbridge Island Review
The Bainbridge Island City Council unanimously appointed three new members to the city’s Harbor Commission at the council’s meeting this week. The new members are Samantha Everett, John Brownlow and Frank Ostrander. Everett, an attorney who specializes in employment
and business litigation, will serve in Position 1 for a three-year term that runs until June 30, 2017. Everett is a graduate of San Diego State University and the University of San Diego School of Law and was a 2012 finalist in the San Diego Business Journal’s “Women Who Mean Business” awards. Brownlow was nominated for Position 2 on the Harbor Commission, which also
Application filed for retail pot shop on island BY REVIEW STAFF
A new application has been submitted to the Washington State Liquor Control Board for a retail marijuana shop on Day Road. Evergreen, a Seattle-based company that previously tried to get a license for a marijuana shop on NE Valley Road in Rolling Bay, is seeking permission for a similar store at 7880 NE Day Road. The state is already reviewing applications for a growing and processing marijuana business in the industrial park at 8040 NE Day Road. That project is being pursued by Way Kool,
Inc. The company filed for an application for the operation on Dec. 1. Bainbridge City Manager Doug Schulze told the city council at its meeting Monday that the city had been notified about the pending retail application by the Liquor Control Board and may offer comments on the application. “We are reviewing that at this time and determining how that fits with the zoning code,” Schulze said. The application for a retail license was filed by Alex Snyder. In an email to the Review, he said it was premature to talk about the application.
has a three-year term that expires June 30, 2017. He is a self-employed managing consultant for E3C and was formerly an enterprise architect with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services. An Australian, he moved to Seattle in 1992. Ostrander was nominated for Position 6, which has a term that ends June 30, 2016. He is a retired foreign service officer for the U.S. Department of State, and
is also a former Assistant Attorney General for the state of Oregon and a retired Navy captain. The city council also unanimously voted to shift Harbor Commissioner Sandra Davis from Position 6 to Position 4 on the advisory body. Davis asked for the transfer in October. If approved, her term would end on June 30, 2015 instead of June 30, 2016. Five applications were
received for the open positions. Davis and Mayor Anne Blair served as an interview panel and forwarded the nominations to the council for approval. The seven-member
Harbor Commission meets once a month and develops and recommends new policies on harbor management for the city and helps implement policies in the city’s Harbor Management Plan.

‘Nutcracker’ finds its seasonal spirit in the Roaring ’20s BY LUCIANO MARANO Bainbridge Island Review
This year’s annual production of “The Nutcracker” by Olympic Performance Group is stepping into the future. Or is it the past? It’s hard to say, as the ballet was originally produced in 1890s Russia and this
year’s OPG version is aiming to jazz things up by setting the story in the swinging America of the 1920s. Past or future, it’s definitely a twist. Directed by Bainbridge Ballet owner/ lead instructor Sara Cramer, the show promises to continue the tradition of innovation that has marked the group’s previous productions.
“I try to come up with something a little bit new each year so we’re not doing exactly the same thing,” Cramer said. The cast and crew work very hard, including the creation of new costumes and choreography, to give the audience a fresh take on the holiday classic every year, she added. Past shows have given audiences sur-

Dusty 45’s founder Billy Joe Huels was raised on a farm in southern Illinois. Growing up with a soundtrack of honky tonk and his parents’ collection of 1940s swing era LPs, he developed a broad appreciation for American roots music. He found his passion when his father bought him his first trumpet at age 10, and the performer in him came alive. Billy Joe’s stage presence now includes a rippin’ Telecaster guitar, and a trumpet which serves as an extension of himself. By the end of the show, the trumpet ends up on fire, literally.

The ’20s are an especially iconic time in our nation’s history which continually draws our fascination, even today. This fascination manifests itself in the return of certain fashion trends from the era, a resurgence in jazz and Big Band-style musical accompaniment in today’s pop tunes and the wild popularity of such recent period pieces as “The Wild Party” and the latest Hollywood version of “The Great Gatsby.” “It’s also kind of the heyday of entertainment for the stage, and then films started to come into being,” Cramer said of the decade. “So we have that sense that that’s sort of where it began.” Adding a bittersweet note to the rampant revelry of the time, of course, is our collective knowledge of the hard days that would come next in the form of the Depression and World War II. “I think we kind of reminisce about that time,” Cramer said.

Alexandre Dumas Père from a story by E.T.A. Hoffmann, and first set to music by the composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Originally premiered in December 1892 at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia, the music of the eight most popular pieces (known today as the Nutcracker Suite) was very well received, but the ballet itself did not become popular until it came west in the early 1940s. This year’s production will run for five shows only: 7 p.m. Friday Dec. 19 and Saturday, Dec. 20 as well as 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 19, Sunday, Dec. 21 and Monday, Dec. 22. Whereas the past few year’s productions were done at The Island School, this year’s show returns the ballet to it’s original venue — and a larger stage — at the North Kitsap Auditorium in Poulsbo (1881 NE Hostmark St.), explained co-producer Amy Houmes.

Many other groups and island residents have supported the production as well, Houmes said. “KiDiMu put on a snowflake making event with our dancing snowflakes,” she said. “The downtown association invited us to dance at the tree lighting; T&C donated ingredients to make our concession cookies; Sound Reprographics has been amazing in their help of putting together our materials; St. Cecilia’s is loaning us all of their 1920s décor from their fashion show years back.” Bainbridge High School student Stefan Collier designed the show’s poster, she added, and the island Starbucks is donating coffee for the production’s concession stand.

If only all of life’s problems could be put in order as easily. It looked effortless. The Bainbridge High varsity girls basketball team jumped to an early lead with a big three-pointer almost immediately during their second game of the year last week, then fell behind as things smoothed out for the Roughriders and PA found their offense. Trailing 9-6 as the game’s first quarter came to a close, things didn’t look good for the home team. Then, with six minutes left in the second, the Spartans fell further behind (14-6) before taking control of the game back seemingly as easily as they’d lost it, pulling ahead (20-18) with a little more than a minute left in the first half. The third quarter was a Bainbridge ballgame, clearly. The Spartans pulled further ahead, and though the Roughriders made some offensive gains they were insufficient to turn the tide of the contest. BHS led 30-18 with 4:28 to go, and laid it on almost immediately in the fourth quarter to cement the win. Bainbridge’s overall record improved to 2-0

Sports roundup Bainbridge conquers NK in season’s first POULSBO - Though their first scheduled game was postponed, the Bainbridge boys varsity basketball team came out and earned a decisive victory in their game against North Kitsap High last week. The final score was 77-58 BHS. The Spartans actually trailed in the first quarter (16-15) before coming back hard in the second (20-12). BHS would continue to lead in points in both the third and final quarters, dominating 24-16 in the fourth alone. They would maintain the court domination throughout the second half. Bainbridge had only nine turnovers and were better on the glass than Windex. The Spartans out-rebounded the Vikings 40-20, said Spartan Head Coach Scott Orness. “Oskar [Dieterich] also had 12 rebounds and took charges, Sawyer [Conrad] had 11 rebounds in two quarters of play [and Blake] Swanson had six assists, three steals and two blocks,” Orness said. Dieterich, who only just recently signed a national letter of intent to play basketball for Black Hills State University in South Dakota, was the team’s leading scorer in the season’s debut game. He managed 20 points total. Lyle Terry followed close behind with 18 points and team co-captain Swanson finished the game with 14. The Spartans were originally slated to play against Kingston last Saturday, but bad road conditions led to the postponement, Orness said. “The game will be made up,” he said. The Spartans first home game is slated for 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 12 against Garfield High.

BHS beats Sealth in first wrestling meet SEATTLE - The Bainbridge High varsity wrestling team earned a big win at their first trip to the mat this year, scoring a 58-18 victory over Chief Sealth on the road Thursday, Dec. 4.

Then, in the 113-pound match, Koa Goff pinned his opponent in only 1:29. Cad Topham claimed a win in the 120-pound class by forfeit. Jonathan Gallivan pinned Sealth’s Tommy Bui in just 22 seconds in the 126-pound class. Fellow Spartan Greg Williams pinned his own opponent in 2:30 for a win in the 132-pound match.

Sealth won the final three matches in forfeit victories, but it wasn’t enough to assuage the Spartan smackdown that the Bainbridge squad had already laid on them.

Bainbridge man charged with burglary after alleged theft of headphones Suspected shoplifter had been warned not to return to store BY REVIEW STAFF
A 30-year-old Bainbridge Island man was charged with second-degree burglary this week after police said he was caught shoplifting a pair of Beats headphones from the Kohl’s department store in Silverdale on Thanksgiving. Honorato Robero Rapada IV was charged with the felony in Kitsap
County District Court in Monday, Dec. 8. According to court documents, Rapada went into Kohl’s on Nov. 27 and walked out of the store with a pair of Beats headphones that he did not pay for that were valued at $179. Authorities also said Rapada had been caught shoplifting at a Kohl’s location in Gig Harbor in April 2014 and was subsequently banned from all Kohl’s stores for a year. Rapada was later identified by a department store video as a sus-
Bainbridge police report yet another driver hits a building McDonald’s hit by wayward driver BY REVIEW STAFF
A Poulsbo woman stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake while backing out of a parking stall at the McDonald’s on High School Road and drove through the outdoor seating area in reverse before hitting the corner of the restaurant. The crash was reported by a McDonald’s employee just after 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 3. According to a Bainbridge Island police report, a 54-year-old Poulsbo woman in a 2010 Toyota Corolla was parked in the northwest corner of the McDonald’s lot when she started to back out. She told police she mistakenly hit the accelerator and then went over the curb in front of the restaurant. She plowed through an outdoor table and chairs, and then hit the corner of the building near the dining area. Police estimate the woman traveled 100 feet before hitting the building. The car-versus-building crash was the second in recent weeks, and the latest in a long string of such accidents on Bainbridge Island this year. In the other recent crash, a 25-year-old Poulsbo woman in a 1999 Honda Accord was pulling into a parking space just after 7:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 24 at a business just south of the Island Village Shopping Center when she stepped on the accelerator instead of the gas pedal while parking, jumped the curb and hit the building at 360 Tormey Lane. A window was broken but police said there were no injuries.
The two recent accidents join a growing list of at least eight mishaps involving drivers hitting buildings that have been reported this year on the island. The weird rash of accidents started in April when a taxi van leaving the ferry terminal hit the outside of the San Juan Building on Winslow Way. Later that month, a driver accidentally drove into a vacant storefront next door to Sole Mates Shoes & Outerwear in the Island Village Shopping Center on High School Road. In early May, a man was parking outside the Subway sandwich shop in the Island Village Shopping Center when he missed the brake and hit the gas instead and struck the building. In late May, another driver escaped injury when he drove his Lincoln LS sedan into the 911 Hildebrand building on Hildebrand Lane. Then, in late September, a driver in a Mercury Sable LS drove into the southwest corner of the Madison Diner on Madison Avenue and damaged the building’s facade. On Oct. 27, a woman and her dog escaped injury after she accidentally drove into the front of the Bainbridge Rite Aid on High School Road. The woman was parked in a handicap spot facing the Rite Aid, but backed up into the handicap sign with her Subaru Outback when she was leaving, then hit the accelerator too hard to pull forward. She drove forward into the brick building and wedged her car between the storefront and a concrete pillar at the entrance to the store.
pect in the theft at the Silverdale Kohl’s on Thanksgiving. He was arrested on Friday, Dec. 5 after he allegedly went back to the Kohl’s in Silverdale and a store employee watched as he picked up another pair of Beats headphones and an HP tablet computer and walked around the store with the items. A store employee was standing at the exit, and Rapada put the items at the end of an aisle near the door and left the building. A sheriff’s deputy stopped
him outside the building, and he allegedly told the officer he had decided to leave the items behind because he didn’t have the money to buy the computer and headphones. When asked about the incident in Gig Harbor, he allegedly told the deputy, “I remember when I was going to court they said don’t go to Kohl’s,” and then added, “I never signed anything.” Police said they discovered Rapada’s 2001 Nissan Maxima had been left running near the
exit of the store, with the driver’s side door facing the store’s exit. Authorities said that by entering the store unlawfully and leaving his car in the position it was, and collecting the items without any money to pay for them,was a “substantial step toward committing a theft.” Rapada was booked into Kitsap County Jail on Saturday, Dec. 6 and bail was set at $20,000. Conviction of second-degree burglary carries a maximum 10-year prison term and $20,000 fine.

Bainbridge blotter Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter: Tuesday, Dec. 9 4:46 p.m. A 62-year-old Bainbridge woman called 911 to report an attempted identity theft over the Internet. She was searching a real estate website for housing for a family member and found a home in Port Ludlow listed for $80,000. She contacted the listed person’s email and got a rental form emailed back. After she filled it out and sent it back, she started getting suspicious emails that asked for birth dates, photos and contact numbers. An officer noted some of the verbiage indicated the person was not in the U.S. The woman was advised to monitor her credit for any suspicious activity. Monday, Dec. 8 8:24 a.m. The owner of an orthodontic practice reported a burglary at his dental office in the 11100 block of Fairmont Lane. He said he left his office at 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5 and
returned at 5 p.m. the next day to find a closet door with a light on. He believed that someone entered the building through a cellar door, then used a ladder to climb up through the floor into a closet. The closet was later found locked from the inside. Numerous items were taken, including three curing lights valued at $3,000 each; pliers, picks and dental tools valued at $200; and 10 $10 Target gift cards. The gift cards were stolen from a lock box. The victim suspected the burglary was done by someone who knew the business. 3:05 p.m. A 33-year-old Bainbridge man came to the station to report mail stolen from his mailbox. He first started noticing his mail disappear around Nov. 20 when his water and electric bill never arrived. The mail usually arrives around 3 p.m., but when he was late in picking up his mail, it was gone. The man thought that with the holidays, mail thieves were targeting mailboxes to get money, gifts or personal information to commit identity theft.
Sunday, Dec. 7 1:43 a.m. A taxi cab driver called police and said a customer refused to pay for a ride. Police found the driver and passenger at the ferry terminal. The passenger, a 25-year-old Poulsbo man, said he asked for a taxi ride home to Poulsbo from the ferry terminal. He shared a cab with someone who was dropped off on Madrona Way, and afterward, the driver asked if he could pay in cash. The man said he had planned to pay with a credit card. The taxi driver said he usually would take a credit card, but his boss had told him to ask for cash because of recent problems with credit card fraud. The driver asked the passenger to get cash from an ATM for the $30 ride to Poulsbo, then took him to a bank near High School Road. The passenger initially agreed, but then became uncomfortable about the whole situation. When he began to ask the driver about his credentials, the driver got angry and asked the rider to get out of the cab at the Ace Hardware across from the bank. The man asked to be taken back to the ferry terminal, and the driver took him back but when they arrived, asked for $10. The
Friday, December 12, 2014 - Bainbridge Island Review
passenger refused and the driver called 911. Police determined no crime had been committed because the passenger did not have criminal intent to defraud the driver, and the driver did not complete the mutually agreed upon service to Poulsbo. Friday, Dec. 5 3:44 a.m. An officer heard a radio call about a rider on a “crotch rocket” style of motorcycle that was heading south on Highway 305 near Poulsbo and hitting speeds above 70 mph. The Bainbridge officer was on Highway 305 near Sportsman Club Road when he saw a single headlamp coming south on the highway. The officer activated his radar and found the motorcyclist was going 66 mph. The motorcycle matched the description from the radio call, and when the officer pulled a U-turn and activated his lights, he heard the motorcycle downshift and accelerate. The officer gave chase and watched as the rider passed other vehicles. The motorcycle continued to speed away as the officer accelerated to 120 mph but couldn’t catch up. The officer backed off the pursuit. The motorcyclist was not found during a search of the
area near Safeway and the ferry terminal. 7:41 p.m. Bainbridge police were asked to assist the Liquor Control Board in compliance checks to make sure establishments on the island that possess liquor licenses for retail sales were not selling to minors. A Bainbridge officer worked with three liquor control officers and an 18-year-old investigative aide. Seven island businesses including Walt’s Lynwood Market, Safeway, Rite Aid, Town & Country, Isla Bonita and two Chevron stations were checked. During a prior compliance check none of the businesses sold alcohol to minors. During the Dec. 5 operation, clerks at the Chevron station on Hildebrand Lane and Walt’s sold to minors. At Walt’s, the 18-year-old walked in and picked up one can of Budweiser Light and went to the counter. The clerk asked for identification, and looked at the card that showed the teen’s birthday as May 13, 1996. She then sold the can of beer. At the Chevron, the investigative aid took a can of Budweiser Straw-Ber-Rita and approached the counter. The clerk also checked the aide’s ID, then sold the can. Both clerks
said they must have done the math wrong when figuring out the customer’s age. Investigators told the clerks they would be cited for selling to minors. Wednesday, Dec. 3 3:36 p.m. A 41-year-old Bainbridge woman said one of three 32-gallon garbage cans went missing after she set them out for the trash collector. The woman was annoyed because the cans were sturdy and relatively expensive. An officer spoke with neighbors but no one saw anything suspicious. Tuesday, Dec. 2 8:42 a.m. A 71-year-old Bainbridge man reported a case of road rage. He said he had been walking his dog about 3 p.m. the day before along the roadway on Manitou Beach when a driver in a small blue pickup truck passed by but too close. When the walker said something to the driver, an argument ensued and the walker asked why the driver didn’t move over. The driver said he did not see him, which the walker found doubtful. The driver then left saying, “Maybe next time I’ll hit you.” He was described as an elderly man with crooked teeth.

The ambiance, while elegant, is far from imposing. There are no salespersons. Rather, owners Alice Gilbert and Drew Thomes present a neighborly feel, making the shop comfortable and pleasant. “The shop is presented in a way to bring about

and generations. It’s a philosophy that the owners impart to Crocket and fellow employee Justin Lynn. Together, the four are continuing an increasingly rare form of jewelry and art. Thomes and Gilbert relate their knowledge, and Crockett and Lynn are trying to catch up to them. And with the skills they are teaching, they also hope to impart a sense of the trade that they value. “Because of our time in the industry we have had a lot of time to think about what is good and what is bad about commercial See JEWELRY, Page 3

feelings of nostalgia and family,” said Taylor Crockett, one of two employees. “You will see photographs of friends and family of Alice and Drew over several years.” Crockett notes that the feeling transfers into the product. Jewelry isn’t as much of a consumer product at Gilbert Thomes as it is something that “will stay in your family for generations, and means so much more than its monetary worth,” Crockett said. That’s an important belief at the shop, that jewelry is art, carrying sentiment through time

Continued from page 2 jewelry and retail,” Gilbert said. For example, something as simple as lighting is important. “When we started this place, I decided I wanted a lot of natural light,” she said, noting that many shops avoid natural light, and rely on artificial. “They want to control the environment that has interior case lighting and really loud spotlights.” “I want people to be able to see their stones for what they are,” Gilbert said. “A lot of commercial jewelry stores are trying to sell based on brilliance and you take it out of the case and it’s not quite as bright as it was in the store. I think that’s wrong.”
Gems in the Emerald City
Thomes and Gilbert have a reputation as experts in the jewelry community, partially earned through their shop on Bainbridge Island. The shop celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2014.
But the careers they have crafted took decades to forge. Thomes was a graphic artist and a carpenter before he broke into the jewelry world in 1980. “I was making American Native[-style] jewelry as an homage to my distant relatives. Then I met a jeweler who was an owner of fine jewelry at Nordstrom,” Thomes said. “At that time I was a carpenter but wanted to get into the jewelry business. “It’s hard to get into the jewelry business because jewelers usually only hire their relatives, and jewelers are also paranoid,” he said. “They don’t want to hire someone and then find out if they are honest or not.” Thomes made jewelry at Nordstrom from 198087. He said developing his carving skills was difficult and that he almost gave it up after five years, but his boss at the time talked him into sticking with it. Sticking with it paid off in more ways than one. It was through his job that he met Gilbert, then working as a gemologist at Nordstrom, now his wife.
GILBERT THOMES FOR A GOOD CAUSE For its 10th anniversary, Gilbert Thomes has collaborated with a variety of local causes, such as the Helpline House, PAWS of Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap, the Puget Sound Restoration Fund and the Bainbridge Performing Arts Center. The shop is producing necklace pendants that relate to each organization. Twenty percent of each item sold will go to its respective organization. “I went to work for Nordstrom in ’82 as their gemologist and met Drew,” she said. “We worked together until we got married in ’85.” Gilbert came from another side of the business. She specializes in gems, crystals and stones. “I’m the rock person,” she said. “I started out in an old store in Seattle that is no longer there,” Gilbert said. “I earned my gemology degree in 1980 and was the appraiser at Friedlander’s.” After Nordstrom, she went to work for Carroll’s Fine Jewelry in Seattle. She has since earned further certifications in the field. Thomes spent the bulk of his career as a freelance jeweler. His work was
found in a range of shops throughout Seattle. He was also sought out. “One job I was asked to do was for the royal family of the Shah of Iran after he was disposed,” Thomes said. “I also did a lot of work for people inside the business that nobody would recognize.” When the couple retired to Bainbridge Island, they decided to put their combined skills into a new shop. “We’ve done well and met a lot of nice people and made some beautiful things,” Thomes said.
A custom trade
Thomes’ craft isn’t often found in the modern world of mass-produced jewelry. He starts with a solid block of purple wax that is much like wood. Then he
sculpts it, carving it into a unique shape, a work of art. The wax is transferred to a cast, which is then used to mold a metal such as gold or silver. The original wax carving that took so long to craft is destroyed in the casting process. This means that when Thomes makes a piece, it is one of a kind. “Rings I love, they are my favorite,” Thomes said. “It’s something for a person, for their whole lives if I do it right.” He also makes pendants, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. “People have asked me to do a wide variety of things other than jewelry,” he said. “Like miniature cars and scenic views and architectural parts for windows and umbrellas.” The work is custom made, to the liking of the customer. The custom work strays from the more common place jewelry found at shops that is mass-produced. “Now they use computer controlled electric ovens, things are much more scientific than casting,” Thomes said.
Gilbert, on the other hand, is an expert appraiser with knowledge of gems, crystals stones and much more. She can go from one end of the store to the other, picking through stones and crystals along the way, tell you how they formed, if they are natural or grown in a lab, and more. “I like antiques as well,” she said, noting the variety in the shop. “Being an appraiser, for almost 35 years, it’s amazing the range of jewelry I’ve appraised.” Together, they form a valuable team — an artist and an intellect apt for custom jobs.
Passing the torch
Thomes has been officially retired for some time, working part-time at the shop. As the 10-year anniversary of the business approached, he and Gilbert wanted to keep their skills going, but with new hands. “Alice and I don’t have children of our own,” Thomes said. “We realize after 10 years that we are reaching retirement and See JEWELRY, Page 11

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND REVIEW Council members go silent on Facebook: Bainbridge Island city officials announced Dec. 2 they would no longer post messages on Facebook and other social media outlets. The move follows emerging criticism of the practice as well as a recent briefing at a city council meeting where City Attorney Lisa Marshall told the council that messages on Facebook, Twitter and other social media forums could be considered public records if the posts dealt with city business. Marshall also noted that emails from private computers can also be public records.
w
“Emails discussing city business sent from private computers ... from private emails addresses, do constitute public records,” Marshall said. The City of Bainbridge Island is being sued in Kitsap County Superior Court for withholding emails about city business that were sent and received from the private email accounts of councilmen Steve Bonkowski and David Ward. A judge ruled in May that the city violated the state Public Records Act after Bonkowski and Ward deleted emails from their personal accounts that were public records, and the city was ordered last month to pay attorney fees of $109,345 to Dan Mallove, the lawyer for the two Bainbridge residents
who filed the lawsuit against the city. A hearing on financial penalties against the city for violating the Public Records Act is scheduled for later this month. At the council’s last meeting in November, Marshall led a training session on the state’s public records and meetings laws and warned council members to preserve emails that had been sent to their personal email accounts. “Even if you are not requested to respond to an email, even if there is nothing for you to do with that email, it’s still a record and shouldn’t be deleted,” she said. Some city officials have been commenting on the handful of Bainbridge Island-related Facebook pages, and City Manager Doug Schulze has posted frequent items to correct misinformation that is put online about city hall. Schulze announced the city’s change in direction in a post Dec. 2 on the Bainbridge Island Community Forum page on Facebook, and said it had been prompted
LIVE UNITED For over 75 years United Way of Kitsap C♥unty has been at the HEART of the C♥mmunity! GIVE – Invest in your community, donate to a favorite charity
by concerns that had been raised. “I am very disappointed to be forced to discontinue participating in this forum, but due to a recent citizen concern find it necessary,” Schulze wrote. “Unfortunately, this is going to mean that information about city issues, meetings and events will no longer be provided through this forum or any of the other Bainbridge Island forums. We will focus all of our communication efforts on the city website, City Manager’s Report, Nixle, Twitter and the city Facebook page,” he wrote. — BainbridgeReview.com
BREMERTON PATRIOT Trespassing a problem in Bremerton watershed, city says: Poachers and trespassers have proved to be a problem in the Bremerton watershed, according to the Bremerton Police Department. The Bremerton watershed is a critical environmental area to the city of Bremerton and as such is closed to all public access and use. The area is closed to all vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Hunting and fishing are not allowed. The area is under video surveillance and is also patroled. People found in the watershed are subject to arrest for trespassing. According to hunting regulations it is illegal for hunters to trespass or hunt on closed lands. They are no longer hunting but have become poachers subject to additional penalties and fines as well as arrest for trespassing. Anyone who observes trespassers or poachers entering the Bremerton watershed property are encouraged to call 911. Capt. Tom Wolfe said that in Washington state per RCW.77.15.435 it is unlawful

CENTRAL KITSAP REPORTER Library board OKs purchase of Bucklin Hill site: The Kitsap Regional Library board of trustees unanimously approved a purchase agreement for property located at the corner of Bucklin Hill Road and Blaine See AROUNDKITSAP, Page 9

Avenue, the site it previously selected for the new library in Silverdale. That action came at the board’s Nov. 25 meeting. According to Jeff Brody, director of community relations for the library, the terms of the agreement with Sound West Group give the Library six months to explore the feasibility of the site for a new library. No down payment on the purchase price is due until May 25, and until that date, Kitsap Regional Library can withdraw from the agreement with no financial risk. The agreement calls for the Library to pay $100,000 toward the purchase of the property on May 25, 2015, and the remainder of the purchase price would be due on Nov. 25, 2015. The price for the parcel is set at $850,000. But, Brody said, Kitsap Regional Library can reduce that price to $800,000 if it connects Sound West to a party interested in purchasing the adjacent property for $800,000. — CentralKitsapReporter. com
NORTH KITSAP HERALD Clearwater Casino evacuated because of fire: Tom Beebee was minding his cards at the Suquamish Clearwater Casino’s poker table when the game was quickly interrupted the morning of Dec. 2. “There was a fire alarm,” Beebee said. “Then a voice said, ‘Stand by until we ascertain what it is.’“ But it wasn’t long before the chips were down for the whole casino, located on Highway 305 at the Agate Pass Bridge. “Personnel came around to the card room and said we had to evacuate,” Beebee said.
Fire crews from Bainbridge Island, North Kitsap and Poulsbo responded to the casino shortly after 11 a.m. after a report of a car on fire in the casino’s west garage. The garage is connected to the casino. The fire is believed to have started in a car’s engine compartment on the fourth level of the garage. There are no sprinklers in the garage, according to chatter on the police scanner when emergency crews were dispatched. The fire spread to four neighboring cars before firefighters could knock it down with hoses from the ground level. Firefighters also patrolled the garage to put out the fire from up close. A couple of small explosions were heard and flames were seen shooting out from the garage. After the initial fire alarm, personnel moved through the casino and told patrons to evacuate. “I was on the gaming floor, playing slots,” Pam Johnson said. “They made an announcement, ‘There’s an emergency in the building,’ six times.” Phyllis Schwerin of Tacoma was not far away at a slot machine when casino employees said she had to drop her game and leave. “They said ‘Please stand by for instructions (over the speaker),’ and then finally a casino worker came by and said we had to evacuate out the front door,” Schwerin said. “They were herding us out.” Casino patrons then watched the flames and smoke from the east parking lot as firefighters battled the blaze. Employees were rounded up in one location for a head count. “Are there no sprinkler systems in the garages?” Schwerin asked while watching the effort. The fire appeared to be under control by noon.
Smoke had lessened and firefighters were up close to the fire. — NorthKitsapHerald.com

Jewelry
Continued from page 3 we realized that we needed help.” The couple advertised for an employee and received interest from as far as New York and South Africa. But no one seemed to be the right fit. They found help locally, which led to a chance meeting. Thomes and Gilbert were headed to a doctor’s appointment and didn’t want to leave their sole employee alone. That’s when Justin Lynn walked in to say ‘hello’ to a friend, then-employee Sarah Herrin, at the shop. “I hired him for one day and asked him to be Sarah’s bodyguard,” Gilbert said. “And when I came back he was sitting with a customer. When he left he said it was a really nice place to work.” “Justin is really a wonderful showman and a really good promoter,” Gilbert said. “He came in one day to cover for us when we were gone and
decided to stay.” He now truly knows how nice it is to work at Gilbert Thomes, because he does. “I was only meant to work at the store once,” Lynn said. “Alice and Drew came back early and we got to talking about history and jewelry, and how each piece they sell will be in a family for generations and will create its own story.” “I guess we connected on enough levels that they thought it would be a good idea to give me a job,” he said. Lynn, who is most widely known for his work in the theater, got to work and was soon producing his own rings. “For most of my life I’ve been a performance artist. I love acting. I know the craft and I’m pretty good at it,” Lynn said. “When I started working at Gilbert Thomes, I knew next to nothing about the visual arts, so the idea of making custom jewelry was intimidating. And make no mistake, what we do at Gilbert

Thomes is art.” Just as Thomes tapped into his own ancestry when making his art, Lynn has as well, at the start of his craft. “My family is primarily of Norse decent,” he said. “Growing up, I felt a strong connection to my ancestry and my jewelry designs reflect that. If you want a piece that looks hammer finished, or a piece covered in runes, or something that looks old and powerful, I’m the designer to talk to.” Lynn has been training for more than a year, and is still pushing himself to go further. “Drew and Alice know everything there is to know about the business,” Lynn said. “So working with them is a non-stop learning experience.” “They are also incredibly kind people who are firmly grounded in the community they love,” he said. Crockett’s entrance in to the trade is a similar tale. “I came to drop off my necklace and say ‘hello’ to Justin, but I was quickly hooked,” Crockett said. “I was enchanted by all the beautiful pieces of jewelry, minerals specimens, and antiques. From then on I was visiting all the time

just for fun. I always joked with Justin that if any positions ever opened up, he knew who to call. Much to my surprise, he did just that.” Crockett has a background in design, something she brings to the job. “Through Justin we found our new designer, Taylor Crockett,” Thomes said. “She’s going to be an outstanding jeweler if she sticks with it.”
Crockett is motivated, and said that the work is continually fascinating. “When I’m working as a carver with Drew, my artistic brain is being trained,” she said. “When I’m with Alice, I get to learn about the scientific properties of stones and metals which as always interested me.” With two eager to learn the craft, it is a way for the experts to pass the bejeweled torch to a new gener-

ation of craftsmen. “We are continuing what we are doing, because we are training Tay and Justin,” Gilbert said. “Part of the reason I want them to succeed is because I think Bainbridge needs a good jewelry store they can trust and go to, and they have great potential to fulfill the roles we have when we retire.”

Horses, Stars and Hands Seeing is another way of believing that the sweet taste of sudden juice or stolen lips is eternal and lasts longer than the ride that took you on a wild horse named Stun into the woods and branches whipped and cut your face until you learned to throw your arms around its neck and keep breathing until the ride was over or slow enough so you could fall off the side and not break your neck. Breaking your back on an anvil of a job and stuttering from one person to another is a way to say to the stars: I’m like you–I have this speck of eternal light that sends itself to other planets in the emptiness of space. Once I reached blind for your hand and couldn’t hold on. I burned out like a comet, whirled away like a cyclone. Burn and whirl with me. The air will contain us. Read this poem and take my hand. It’s all I have left. — Bob McAllister, Bainbridge Island, 1984 The Poets’ Corner features work from local poets who appear at the Poulsbohemian Poetry Readings, held on first Saturdays of the month at the Poulsbohemian Coffeehouse, 19003 Front St., Poulsbo.

THE BOOK END LITERARY NEWS FROM AROUND KITSAP
Author Randall Platt signs latest book at Silverdale Barnes & Noble
N
orthwest author Randall Platt is celebrating the release of her latest young-adult novel “Incommunicado” with a book signing at the Barnes & Noble, located in the Kitsap Mall in Silverdale. The signing is scheduled on Dec. 14, 2-4 p.m. Platt chiefly hails from Gig Harbor where she lived for 35 years. She wrote 10 novels while living south of the Kitsap border. Today, though, she calls Kitsap home, as she releases her 11th novel. “Incommunicado” is aimed at readers 10-yearsold and older. The book deals with something Kitsap communities are well aware of; the Japanese internment camps during WWII. Bainbridge Island was the first community to have its Japanese citizens torn from their homes and forced into camps during the war. The book was officially released in November. “Incommunicado” begins on Dec. 7, 1941. The Japanese have

Platt’s previous novels have won awards and acclaim, including her book “Hellie Jondoe,” which won the Bronze Award from ForeWord

Take a trip to a local, old-fashioned Christmas Seabeck celebrates the holidays with pioneer flair BY LESLIE KELLY Kitsap Week
S
et aside the hustle-bustle of the holiday season for just one night. Turn off the computers, the televisions, the smartphones and the tablets. Put on your Sunday best and venture out to Seabeck’s Old Mill Town, to celebrate the holidays the way they would have been in the 1860s. The Kitsap Historical Society and Museum is again presenting Old Mill Town Christmas on Dec. 14, beginning at 4 p.m. The location is at the Seabeck Conference Center, in Seabeck, where, in the mid 1800s, everything was all about logging. Enjoy the fun, beginning with a hay ride. Stop to sample roasted chestnuts and mosey on to the Meeting House to dance the Old Virginia Reel with the Kitsap Kickers. Following that, a typical pioneer-style Christmas dinner will be served in the century-old historic dining hall. The family-style dinner will include herb-rubbed pork tenderloin, clam chowder, corn fritters, cheddar biscuits and root vegetables. There’ll be corn pudding and apple pie for dessert. After dinner, learn what life was like back
Carolers set the holiday mood at a previous Old Mill Town celebration in Seabeck. then through the stories of characters “Marshall Blinn, Fred, the lumberman and Jim, the forester.” Blinn, who will be played by Chuck Kraining, executive director of the Seabeck Conference Center, founded a mill in Seabeck in the 1850s. He came from Maine to look at the area and decided it was just the right place to start his mill which went by the name of the Washington Mill Company.

”There’s a great story of how he burnt down a bridge so his mill workers couldn’t cross it to get to the saloon ...” — Chuck Kraining
“Blinn was known to be a teetotaler,” Kraining said. “There’s a great story about how he burnt down a bridge so his mill workers couldn’t cross it to get to the saloon to drink.”
Indeed, Blinn was known for preaching abstinence. “He was a man whose family was steeped in a tradition of sobriety and morality,” reads “Seabeck: Tide’s Out, Table’s Set” history book. He took away the management of one rather racy hotel, tore it down, built a new one and offered it free to anyone who would run it on prohi-
bition principles. He also ran for Congress in 1869 on a morality platform, but lost, and then left town. Rather ironic, Kraining’s office at the conference center sits right near where Blinn built the mill’s Meeting House in the winter of 1864. Logger Fred Just, a longtime resident of the Seabeck area, will speak about what his job was like as a logger. He’ll explain terms like “whiskey punk, donkey punches and skid row.” And he’ll teach the crowd logging songs such as “Walk a Logger, Walks a Man.” Also on the program

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.

Brian Carter excels with Washington blends Vintner specializes in old world blends after decades in the NW wine scene NW WINES By ANDY PERDUE and ERIC DEGERMAN
W
hen Brian Carter decided to make his way back to the Pacific Northwest, Mount St. Helens had just erupted and there wasn’t much of a wine industry north of the Columbia River. But the Oregon native was determined to make his mark when he came to the Seattle area in 1980, and he has accomplished greatness in the decades since. Carter was the head wine maker for Paul Thomas Wines and Washington Hills/Apex Cellars before launching his own brand in the late 1990s and establishing his winery in Woodinville in 2002 with business partner Michael Stevens. When Carter opened his tasting room, not far from Ste. Michelle, he was one of the only wineries there. Today, Woodinville has more than 100 tasting rooms. Carter’s focus is on blends, and today he crafts no fewer than 10 different wines. All are blends that focus on established Old World regions, including Bordeaux, Tuscany, the Douro Valley and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. And he does them all extremely well. In 2014, his wines have won best of show in three regional competitions, including the Seattle Wine & Food Experience, the Northwest Wine Summit and the Washington State Wine Competition. Here are several Carter wines we’ve tasted recently. Ask for them at your favorite wine merchant or contact the winery directly.
Brian Carter, owner of Brian Carter Cellars, walks through Klipsun Vineyard on Washington’s Red Mountain during harvest. He was collecting samples of grapes before deciding when he wanted to pick Cabernet Sauvignon. Andy Perdue
”Carter’s focus is on blends, and today he crafts no fewer than 10 different wines.”
Brian Carter Cellars 2012 Abracadabra, Columbia Valley, $22: Brian Carter’s entry-level red wine truly is a magical and eclectic blend of 12 varieties, leading with Cabernet Sauvignon (28 percent), Merlot (19 percent) and Syrah (12 percent). It takes on a theme of dark purple fruit, starting with aromas of blueberry taffy and black currant that are joined by lilac, lavender and roasted coffee. There’s a ton of fruit sitting in the mouth, featuring sweet blueberry and elderberry, followed by Bing cherry skin tannins and pepper. Potential pairings include pasta, grilled pizza or Rabbit Cacciatore. (14 percent alc.)
Brian Carter Cellars 2010 Byzance, Columbia Valley, $34: This Southern Rhône blend leads with Grenache (58 percent), followed by Syrah (18 percent), Mourvèdre (18 percent), Counoise (4 percent) and Cinsault. There’s a gamy quality to the nose of dark blueberry, mulberry, mocha and roasted coffee. Its structure features delicious acidity and medium tannins among flavors of black currant, elderberry and blueberry. In the back, there’s a fun blend of black plum skins, anise and black olive. Carter shows so much pride in this release that he asks fans to enjoy this alongside a bottle from Châteauneuf-du-Pape then send him a note describing their impressions. See WINE, Page 24

Continued from page 23 (14.2 percent alc.) Brian Carter Cellars 2011 Opulento, Yakima Valley, $22: This high-octane dessert wine made in the Portuguese tradition uses such red varieties as Souzão (36 percent), Touriga Naçional (33 percent), Tinta Cão and Tinta Roriz. Whiffs of toasted marshmallow, Nutella, coconut and brown sugar are followed by plums, Raisinet, agave nectar and steamed milk. Big, rich flavors focus on black plum, dark toast and lingering chocolate. The residual sugar (4 percent)
is far from cloying, while the alcohol is managed brilliantly. It’s a complete package to be enjoyed with a wedge of Stilton and a fistful of toasted filberts. (19 percent alc.) Brian Carter Cellars 2012 Oriana, Yakima Valley, $22: This white wine is combination of Viognier and Roussanne with a touch of Riesling. The name is derived from the Latin term “golden lady.” It yields aromas of pineapple, pear and apple pie, with notes of clove, anise and lemon. The palate steers toward Granny Smith apple and sweet lime, backed by dried apricot. (13.6 percent alc.)
Brian Carter Cellars 2009 Tuttorosso, Yakima Valley, $34: This Super Tuscan-style blend is a fascinating wine with aromas of red cherry, allspice, mocha and a bit of toast, followed by flavors of bright, approachable flavors of red plum, ripe raspberry, white chocolate and a twist of black pepper. Perfect with lasagna or grilled meats. (14.2 percent alc.) Eric Degerman and Andy Perdue run Great Northwest Wine, a news and information company. Learn more about wine at www.greatnorthwestwine. com.
