They’ve got plenty of boughs of holly Couple at Holly Vista Orchard ship wreaths coast-to-coast BY LESLIE KELLY LKELLY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
It wasn’t the 125 holly trees that attracted Marianne and Doug Owen to their property along Chico Way. It was the house. But 26 years later, they couldn’t be happier as the caretakers of Holly Vista Orchard. “We were renting in Port Orchard and wanted to buy a house,” said Marianne. “We were looking all over with our Realtor and just couldn’t find anything. We happened across this place that was ‘For Sale by Owner.’ So we just drove up the drive and met the owner and just fell in love with the house.” It was only after seeing the house, that the owner, Evelyn Gibbs, told them there was a holly orchard that came along with it. “We didn’t know if we could handle that,” she said. “But Evelyn said ‘I’ll help you and I’ll teach you to make the wreaths.’” As the story goes, the Gibbs family had run the orchard since the 1950s. At one point, there were holly trees from their property at 7655 Chico Way, north, to where Newberry Hill Road is today. It

was after Evelyn’s father and husband died, she decided to sell the house and orchard. “At first, we thought ‘what do we know about running an orchard?’ I’m a hand (physical) therapist and Doug’s a nuclear engineer,” she said. “But Evelyn was very convincing and told us we could get help from the holly growers association.” For the first few years, Evelyn and a friend of her’s worked the Christmas season
helping them make wreaths. Marianne took on the role of managing the business, while Doug was “chief pruner,” taking care of the trees year round. They named the business Holly Vista Orchard. The early years were mostly wholesale which was the way the Gibbs had run the business. With two young children, Andrew who is now 26, and Emily, who is 23, and full time jobs, Marianne and Doug

kept quite busy. As soon as their kids were old enough, they worked in the orchard business, Andrew assisting in caring for the trees and making wreaths, Emily spent the holiday season folding boxes to use in mailing wreaths and bulk holly. After a few years, the Owens decided to sell wreaths retail and began a mail order busiSEE WREATHS, A9
It may just be the final act for much of the Silverdale Community Center. That’s the word this week from the Kitsap County Parks and Recreation officials. The county, which owns the building, has announced that heavy rain has damaged the building’s roof beyond repair. “It’s a very old building,” said Jim Dunwiddle, director for Kitsap County parks department. “It’s been patched over and over. It’s a situation where a little leak turns into a big leak, turns into a hole.” Dunwiddle said a recent inspection by the county showed that the roof over the long portion of the building at 9729 Silverdale Way NW had severe damage and the county made the decision to close that portion of the building at the end of the month. Areas impacted by the closure include the northwest portion of the building which houses storage areas, the Central Kitsap Community Council office, the Kitsap County Long-Term and Aging office, as well as the Poplar and Cedar meeting spaces. The Central State Theater of County Kitsap (CSTOCK) performance area in the newer portion of the building, and Evergreen meeting room below that will con-

tinue to remain open, pending an assessment of separate mechanical systems. CSTOCK’s production of “A Christmas Carol” will continue its run in the community center, with performances scheduled through Dec. 21. The building was built in 1958 and became a county parks facility in the mid 1990s. It had previously been a church, Dunwiddle said. The building now needs at least $700,000 in repairs, including a new roof, structural, mechanical and electrical improvements, he said. “The county is not able to afford that kind of work,” he said. “It was a difficult decision to make. It’s just very unfortunate.” While CSTOCK, a community theater group which has been around for 28 years, can complete its current stage production, its future, beyond December, is unknown. “We haven’t been given an exact timeline,” said Brandon SEE WATER DAMAGE, A9
‘Hour of Code’ gives CK students an introduction to programming BY CHRIS TUCKER
CTUCKER@CENTRALKITSAPREPORTER.COM
Central Kitsap students were given an introductory lesson in computer programming this week as the schools took part in the “Hour of Code” international campaign to demystify computer science and show that anyone can learn the basics. The Hour of Code was held Dec. 8-14 to celebrate Computer Science Education Week. Central Kitsap High School sophomores Kailan King, Ravyn Freeman and Jayden Upshaw were three of the 600-900 students at the school who took part in the program. The trio used laptop computers in the
“You have a lot of power if you learn how to code and you learn how to use a computer to your advantage.” – Alex Booth, teacher school’s library to drag blocks of computer instructions into a certain order. Each block appeared as a colored rectangle on the computer screen with a bit of adjustable text inside that described what the block did. Freeman followed instructions at the website code.org to make a “flappy bird” game by dragging the blocks around.
The first block on Freeman’s screen read “When run,” and Freeman draggedand-dropped a second block below it which read “set speed normal” to make the bird fly forward when the game was started. To make the bird flap higher into the sky, Freeman connected the block “when click” to two more titled “flap” and “play wing sound” so the bird would flap its wings and make a flapping sound when clicked. Each time a step was completed, students were tasked with adding more features to the game. “And we had to program it so when it SEE HOUR OF CODE, A9

County mourns loss of deputy
(360) 692-6102 • WindermereSilverdale.com
Kitsap County Sheriff ’s Deputy Philip Benjamin Doremus, III, 54, died at his South Kitsap home Nov. 30, from complications of cancer. “We have lost one of our own,” said Sheriff Steve Boyer. “It’s never easy to say goodbye. This much is clear: we greatly miss a much loved son, brother, dad and partner, and a trusted and respected friend, colleague, law enforcement professional and public Philip Doremus servant.” Doremus began his career with KCSO on March 23, 1992, after spending several years in construction supply sales and grocery retail management. He was born Nov. 3, 1960, in Seattle to Audrey and Philip Doremus. Later the family moved to Monroe, where Doremus was an honors student and a talented athlete. After graduating from Monroe High School in 1979, with the encouragement of his friends and teachers he attended Washington State University and studied criminal justice. His childhood dream of becoming a motorcycle police officer was realized when he became a deputy with the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office. During his 22-year career, he held primary positions and collateral duty assignments as patrol officer, field training officer, cadet advisor of Law Enforcement Explorer Post 1514 and was appointed to detective March 9, 1998. He also served as president of the Kitsap County Deputy Sheriff ’s Guild for two separate terms of office. Doremus was the recipient of numerous commendations and letters of appreciation for his professionalism, work ethic and attention to detail in his role as a detective and crime scene investigator. He is survived by his children, Erika Doremus of Port Orchard, Ben Doremus of Grapeview; mother of his children, Judith Doremus; sister, Michelle (Rodney) Brunson of Everett; brother, Cecil (Morrey) Doremus of Everett and one niece. A memorial service was held last week.

Humane Society awarded grant
It was just six weeks ago that Kitsap Humane Society celebrated a record-breaking 198 adoptions in just three days during the ASPCA Mega Match Adopt-athon. Now, they are celebrating a $5,000 “bonus” grant, according to Rachel Lee Bearbower, Kitsap Humane Society marketing and event manager.
Kitsap Humane Society became eligible for the prize when they cruised past their goal of 111 adoptions on day two of the three-day event. The ASPCA presented this prize to one organization in each category that exceeded its adoption goal by the greatest percentage in that category. Categories were based on shelter size and size of adoption goal. Kitsap Humane Society’s goal of 111 adoptions was chosen as it was three times the number of adoptions completed over the same weekend the year before. A n d e v e n a f t e r t h at , record-breaking weekends haven’t slowed as the county’s shelter closed out Black Friday with 91 adoptions, said Bearbower. “We are in the business of saving lives and it is our goal to make it easy and fun for people to rescue,” said Natalie Smith, director of animal welfare. “Our community is doing the rest.” The bonus grant money will be used to support Kitsap Humane Society’s growing adoptions and other lifesaving programs. Kitsap Humane Society is a private, non-profit, charitable organization that has been caring for animals in need since 1908. KHS admits almost 5,000 animals per year and has a 95 percent lives saved rate.

Time to give to others
It was a busy shopping Saturday in December. The lines were long and I was impatient. I thought to myself “What’s this clown in front of me doing with three shopping carts full of giant stuffed bears? I mean, really. Can’t he do that kind of shopping late some evening when it’s not so busy?” And, of course, he had to be the kind of shopper who paid with a credit card that took forever. When it came time for him to leave, he had no one to help him push the three carts of big stuffed bears to his car. So, as he struggled to get out of the way, we waited until another shopper, who wasn’t in line, offered to help him. Finally, it was my turn at the checkout counter. I asked the clerk, “Did that guy tell you what he was doing with all those bears?” “Yes,” the clerk replied. “He’s giving them away to orphans.” It was my Scrooge moment of the season... Like so many people during the holidays, everybody is in a hurry. “I need to be somewhere. I have so much to do. I’m tired of the traffic and waiting.” This experience was a good reminder that the holidays are a great time to think about someone other than yourself. Here in central Kitsap County, there are many places to give during the season. Helping the hungry is an option. Give a donation to the Central Kitsap Food Bank or to Bremerton Foodline. Bremerton Foodline also is the home of the county’s severe weather shelter for the homeless. Take a new sleeping bag or a blanket to the shelter. There’s always the option of the Kitsap County Salvation Army in Bremerton. Giving to the Salvation Army this time of year is as easy as dropping some money in the red kettle wherever there’s a bell ringer. The Kitsap Rescue Mission is currently fundraising for a new shelter. A donation there will help house the homeless in coming months. If you’re an animal lover, give to the Kitsap Humane Shelter where animals are cared for until they find their forever home. If preserving green spaces is more your thing, make a donation to the county parks department or the Kitsap Conservation District. If you can’t afford to donate money, think about another way to give. Donate an hour of your time at any of these organizations. Make some cookies and take them to your nearest fire or police station as a way of saying “thanks.” Think about any elderly people living on your block who may be lonely. A visit and someone to talk to may be just what they need. Or, how about that single parent next door? Offer to baby sit so they can get out to do their holiday shopping. This is the season to give. Make someone else’s holiday great.

Legislators: Report the free meals New rules are coming for those free meals paid for by lobbyists and accepted by lawmakers. The reporting changes to this practice have been a long time coming and are much overdue. Up until now the interpretation and understanding of what “infrequent” meals mean has been a grey area that has allowed many advantages for both lawmakers and lobbyists. A limit of 12 free meals received within a single year has been recently set by the Legislature’s ethics board. The board has forwarded a request to both the State House and Senate that they pass laws to tighten up reporting so that lawmakers will need to report all free meals that they accept. In an effort to increase transparency, the information required in future reporting will not only include the value of the meals and drinks but also a list of the associated events as well. Efforts to increase transparency and accountability should not be diminished or dismissed simply because the amounts involved and/or contributed are small in nature. The bigger picture of political finance reform and improved reporting mechanisms is made up of a series of smaller pieces that need to receive individual legislated corrections or adjust-

Colleen Smidt ments to move forward with clarity. No free passes for the lower levels of political party and campaign involvement either. Organizations or parties that cull, support and endorse candidates should have open, transparent and accountable operations. The financial and operational decisions that they make as appointed stewards, should literally be an open book to the voters and contributors that support them. What they spend on meals, events and entry fees for themselves and the candidates they represent should be validated, accounted for and available for review. I will share, on a personal side note, that a member of the Legislative Ethics Board, Senator Jamie Pederson, D-Seattle, who
is working in favor of the current reform measures, is someone whose career I have followed for a long time. I had the wonderful pleasure of attending the same high school as Jamie. We both participated on the school debate team where the seeds of our civic interest and political involvement were nurtured and encouraged. Even during those early years many of us knew that Jamie was special. His passion for the world of politics was impressive for someone his age. I have not always agreed with him on some of his votes or decisions, but I have a great deal of respect for what he has been able to accomplish as a man and as a legislator. His service on the Legislative Ethics Board and his work on the issue of lawmaker accepted meals paid for by lobbyists is something I very much support, appreciate and respect.

Speakers discuss breaking the school-to-prison pipeline BY CHRIS TUCKER CTUCKER@CENTRALKITSAPREPORTER.COM
Durell Green said he is all-too-familiar with the “school-to-prison pipeline.” Green, who is African American, said he had trouble integrating with other students in school, was labeled as a ‘bad element’ and wound up being arrested for the first time when he was 14. He said he later
wound up in prison at age 18. Green, now 30, has since gotten his life on a better track and mentors high school students at his church. He was one of several speakers at the “Breaking the School-toPrison Pipeline” conference which was part of the 24th annual Kitsap County Human Rights Conference on Dec. 5.
Green said he was homeschooled until he was 11 years old and scored high as a student. But since he lacked regular interaction with other students, he had difficulty integrating into the regular school system and was labeled “anti-social.” And those labels had an impact. “My parents said I’m bad, so I must be bad,” he said. “In school, I’m being dis-
ruptive in class (and) my teacher thinks I’m bad. I must be bad. Then you get kicked out of school. Now you’re really bad … you’re saying you’re bad yourself. And what happens to bad people in our society? They go to jail.” “When you’re at that age you’re very impressionable and you can go a whole lot of different ways. If no one is there to provide you a

Joe Davalos, superintendent of education for the Suquamish Tribe, said helping kids early was the key. “It doesn’t start when kids are 12 or in the eighth grade.

positive alternative to what you see because your perspective is so negative at that age then you’re going to go with you’re gut and go with what feels right. And what feels right ain’t always right. We have to have more mentors.” A panel of four educators had thoughts on how to help students who might be facing the same life challenges that Green dealt with.

reading by then … we need to do something drastic about that,” Davalos said. Small class sizes, providing mentors for every child, and providing child care were important he said. “What is the cost of having someone in prison for one year? $50,000?,” Davalos asked. “School districts average between $5,000 to $6,000 to maybe $7,000 a year per child … the entire time they’re in K-12 it may cost the same for 12 years (of school) it does one year for somebody in prison,” Davalos said. The school system deals with larger issues in society such as homelessness, pov-
erty and drug abuse, said Daniel Frederick, with the Coffee Oasis outreach program. Students dealing with these issues get stressed out and bring that stress with them to school. Compassion was required to help those students, he said. He said making libraries “sexy” could also help. “When youth are in the juvenile detention center they read like crazy and when they get out they stop. We believe in ‘gateway books.’ People talk about gateway drugs. There are such things as gateway books where once a child finds that book it is their book that will open up a world of beautiful exploration and reading for them,” Frederick said. Robert Boddie, executive director of People Organized Working for Ethnic Reality,

Boddie said he regularly mentors young adults and introduces them to engineers, electricians, financial advisors, professional athletes, doctors and lawyers. Boddie said vocational schools and the military also offered career paths. Tim Stensager, chair of

he said, so finding alternatives was important. Such efforts could help at-risk youth enjoy successful lives. Green himself now regularly works with the community and with police. “I’m actually active in working with law enforcement now which is very ironic,” Green mused. Presenting

Why I can’t tell my son the truth about Sandy Hook My youngest son, Lindell, doesn’t know what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary school on Dec. 14, 2012. He had just started kindergarten and was nearly the age of the victims, so I shielded him from the news. Call it maternal editing. Call it over-protection. But even I couldn’t wrap my head around what had happened, how would he?
I never expected that one day we would wind up in front of the new Sandy Hook Elementary school, or how I’d struggle to explain it then. About a year ago, I heard that the entire town of Monroe, Connecticut, was reading my book Dinner with the Smileys as part of a “One Book, One Town” event.

Sarah Smiley one was doing lessons and activities based on the idea of our yearlong experience inviting one new stranger to fill my deployed husband’s vacant seat at the dinner table. I was,
of course, both thrilled and humbled. Monroe invited us to their city so that we could do presentations at the schools and speak to the citizens. That happened last month, over Veterans Day. Prior to our trip, I researched the area in order to prepare my talks. That’s when I found out that Monroe neighbors Sandy Hook, that the children who were in Sandy Hook Elementary School that day now attend school in a building located in Monroe. In the wake of the massacre, Monroe’s leaders generously reached out to the Newtown School District, of which Sandy Hook is a part,
offering a vacant school building on their campus. I was immediately overcome with emotion remembering that day. I walked away from my computer and cried again over the children who never came home and threw their backpacks on the kitchen floor. I thought about their parents, wondering how they ever went on. And then I realized I would have to talk to Lindell about what had happened before we went to Monroe. Except, every time I tried, the words wouldn’t come out. I’d look at Lindell’s big, brown eyes and feel completely frozen. Lindell knows about 9/11,
and he’s overheard things about wars overseas, so he’s not completely sheltered. But for some reason, I could not look at his face and explain to him what happened at Sandy Hook, which locals refer to as “12/14” to separate the event from the place. What happened on 12/14 makes no sense to me; how could I make sense of it for Lindell? Also, Lindell knows what it’s like to sit in a classroom, listen to a teacher and daydream about going home. If I told him what had happened, he’d absolutely identify with the children. Can a 7-year-old handle that? The people of Monroe warned us about the police checkpoints we’d go through to get to one of their schools that shares a campus with the new Sandy Hook building. Nearly two years later, the school still receives threats and requires a constant police presence. I knew this would bring questions from Lindell. Still, I couldn’t get out the answer. Finally, I managed this: I told Lindell that a very bad thing happened at the original Sandy Hook Elementary School. A man broke in. “But couldn’t they just fix the windows?” he asked. “The man broke in while the kids were there,” I said fumbling over my words. “And so they tore it down? I don’t understand.” “The man killed himself in front of the children,” I said. This isn’t entirely true. There were no students alive to see the man kill himself, but it was the best explanation I could manage.

Myers, board president for CSTOCK. “The county called us last week and told us that it had decided to close a portion of the building, but that the performance theater was OK.

ness. Each year, they also open their holly business to the public from the day after Thanksgiving until a week before Christmas. “We do that, so that our family can have that week before Christmas to just be together and not be worrying about wreaths,” Marianne said. “Our kids have given up a lot over the years because we’ve been busy with this business. That’s our way of making it up to them.” In a barn on the property, green and variegated holly boughs are collected in wire bins. There are assembly stations each with its own mechanical wheel, where boughs are weaved into wreaths. Each is decorated with real red holly berries and each takes about 20 to 30 minutes to make. Wreaths come in 10 inch, 16 inch and 18 inch diameters, the smaller ones used as centerpieces with candles and the larger ones are to hang on doors and windows. They range from $30 to $45. As the years went on, both Marianne’s mother and Doug’s father helped in the business. “Grandpa Oster,” as he is called, was the inventor of the wreath-making wheel and still helps out a bit. Up until this year, Marianne’s mother would come from Montana for the season to help take care of the kids as they were growing up and fold packing boxes when needed. The p ast fe w ye ars, they’ve employed four to five wreath-makers; their children are in medical school and not home to help. Most years, they sell about 300 wreaths. And some are

in the building through April of 2015. In the meantime, the parks department is working to find locations for the tenants who are displaced, including storage rooms for CSTOCK, an office for the county’s aging division, and an office that can be used by the Central Kitsap Community Council for board meetings. “The council also needs some storage space for their records,” Dunwiddle said. “And we’re committed to finding other meeting rooms for
the groups that use the Poplar and Cedar meeting spaces.” The Evergreen Room, the larger meeting room in the building, will remain open through December and possibly through April, he said. While closing portions of the community center creates an inconvenience for users and tenants, maintaining public safety is paramount, Dunwiddle said. There was substantial damage to multiple areas directly impacting public access and use of the building. The department is working
with the county fire marshal on what emergency fire exits need to be maintained, he said. Myers said CSTOCK is looking at all its options. “In the beginning, we were a ‘road show,’” he said. “We’d travel from one auditorium to another in the CK School District to perform. We even performed at the (Kitsap) mall. That’s something that we may have to do again, until we find a more permanent home.” The CSTOCK board has talked with the county and a group known as West Sound

programming languages according to CKHS technology teacher Jim Adamson. “It builds that desire for that line-by-line syntax-based programming,” Adamson said. Every industry will rely on some level of programming

shipped miles and states away. “I’ve shipped a wreath to Mrs. Bundy in New York City every year since we bought the place,” said Marianne. “She lives right on Fifth Avenue by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We ship from coast to coast.” And, even though they never planned to have a holly orchard, it’s really very fitting. “When we first moved here from Montana, we lived on Bainbridge Island,” Marianne said. “We were on a walk and found some holly. At the time
it wasn’t any big deal. But then two years later, we owned a holly farm ourselves.” Doug, who has worked at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard as a nuclear engineer since the spring of 1987, finds the orchard work rewarding. He leaves some trees unpruned, so that they will grow berries, which only happens once every two years. “I love the idea that this orchard has been here for so many years and we’ve been able to keep that going,” said Doug. “It’s hard work and it
takes a lot of time. But we’ve been able to keep this place a part of the community.” It helps them get in the holiday spirit, too. “Throughout everything, it’s been a lot of fun,” Marianne said. “Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas for us without holly.” Holly Vista Orchard is open on weekends through Dec. 18 at 7655 Chico Way, Silverdale.

Performing Arts Center (WSPAC) about being part of plans for a new performing arts theater to be built in central Kitsap. One plan is to build a performance theater on the Central Kitsap Community Campus, which is where the current theater is. “CSTOCK has some concerns because what they’re (WSPAC) looking at is a stateof-the-art facility, a 600- to 900-seat theater,” he said. “How are you going to pay for
it? How are you going to keep the doors open? We’ve been around the block before. We know the costs to run something like that and we’re not sure that’s feasible.” CSTOCK’s need is for a theater that seats 200 and is something that is accessible to them every day of the year, he said. “A lot of what we do is our educational programs,” he said. “We need a place where we can work 365 days of the year. That’s what we’re looking for.”

Santa Claus to make rounds before Christmas Eve BY LESLIE KELLY LKELLY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
Santa Claus has planned his trip from the North Pole this year so that he can take part in the annual Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue Santa Run, fire district sources reported this week. Each evening at 6 p.m. on Dec. 11, 12, 13 and again on the 17, 18 and 19, Santa will be riding a fire engine through various neighborhoods in Central Kitsap, transported by volunteer and off-duty CKF&R firefighters. Although exact times for Page A10
each neighborhood aren’t set in stone, firefighters have assured readers that the lights on the fire engine will help announce his arrival in each area. Again this year Santa and his helpers will be collecting food to help the Central Kitsap Food Bank. Everyone is encouraged to help fill Santa’s bag with non-perishable food. Routes for each evening are: Dec. 11: Chico Way, Johnson, Chico Beach, Merideth, Eldorado Boulevard, Highpoint, English Hills, El Camino,

Local PE teacher nominated for national honors
Leslie Kelly / staff photo
Naval Academy PE teacher Debbie Lindgren poses with student during lunch time in the school gymnasium. Students at the elementary school call her “Mrs. L.” BY LESLIE KELLY LKELLY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
If you ask Debbie Lindgren what makes her a great physical education teacher, she’d tell you it’s because she wants every child to be successful. “If a child leaves my class and is not in love with PE, then
that’s on me,” Lindgren said. “My goal is to reach every kid every day.” That’s a lot coming from someone who was supposed to be a statistic, not a success. She endured a rocky childhood that included an alcoholic father and physical abuse. “If you knew about my childhood, you’d be even more
surprised that I’m not just a statistic,” said Lindgren. “I know what it’s like to be beaten by a parent, to be rejected, to be the underdog,” she said. “My goal as a teacher is to empower kids.” Lindgren is the health and fitness teacher at Naval Avenue Early Learning Center. She was recently named the “2015

Northwest District Physical Education Teacher of the Year.” She will now compete with five other regional winners this coming spring and one of them will be named the National PE Teacher of the Year. The contest is sponsored by SHAPE America, the governing body for physical education accreditation. She won state honors and then advanced to the regional where she was named the best in a six-state area. The national competition will in the spring, where she will be interviewed by a panel of judges. She’s also had to submit videos of her teaching a lesson that combines a motor skill and a cognitive process. “I taught the kids the overhand throw,” she said. “You know, mass times acceleration equals force.” While she’s very honored at the opportunity to compete, what’s really important to her is that her students like her and learn from her. “I had to be away for a few days last week,” she said. (She’s helping write the state standards for physical education.) “When I got back and the kids saw me, they just started cheering.” They lovingly call her “Mrs. L.” As a child growing up in southern California, she spent a lot of time outdoors playing. She was into basketball, volleyball, fast pitch, skateboarding and surfing. Her father played football
for USC and was an Air Force fighter pilot, but died when she was 10. “I loved school because school was a safe place,” she said. “I think that’s why I became a teacher, because I know what it’s like to be that one kid in school that shouldn’t make it.” She earned her undergraduate degree in physical education at Long Beach State and her master’s degree in PE and coaching from Ball State University in Indiana. In 2010, she earned her National Board Certification for PE Teachers and since, has been a facilitator and scored tests for that organization. “I call it my ‘lost year,’” she said. “I put in more than 400 hours studying to pass the national boards.” When she and her husband, Jeff, began to raise a family in the late 1980s, they moved to Kitsap County where he was raised. “We didn’t want to raise our children in southern California,” she said. “And Kitsap County had a lot to offer.” Other than the years when her children were young, she’s been teaching physical education — even through two bouts with breast cancer. She was first diagnosed in 1992 and then again in 1994. Through the hard times, when again she could have become a statistic, she fought. “It was the worst thing ever,” she said. “But I wouldn’t trade

the lessons I learned for anything.” She now has about 450 students at Naval Academy and sees each one two times a week for 30 minutes. For her, that’s not enough. “The national standard is that each child should have PE 100 minutes each week,” she said. “That’s the point at which they are more likely to have good health habits and be active adults.” Because many of her students are low income and can’t afford to join basketball leagues or live where it’s not safe to play outside, she’s found other ways to help them be more active. She’s beginning a beforeschool program in the school’s gym where kids can come and exercise to videos, or dance. And she’s added “brain breaks” to their day. “These are three- to five-minute activities that can be done in their classrooms with their teachers,” she said. “It helps get the wiggles out and brings oxygenated blood to their brains so they can think better.” She also is trying to celebrate all cultures and recently brought in a friend who taught hip-hop dancing. Then, she arranged for students to perform at halftime at the first Kitsap Admirals basketball game. All the parents got free tickets to attend the game. Besides teaching younger kids, she’s also the head basketball coach for the Bremerton High School girls’ basketball team. With each student, she tries to find what they like about physical movement and allows them to focus on that. She knows not all students enjoy competition and would rather set personal achievement goals. “My passion is to give them a love for movement,” she said. “My goal is to see that every child has the chance to be successful.”

ainbridge Island’s Gilbert Thomes is more than a jewelry store. It’s a gem store, an antique shop, a craftsman’s studio, for starters. What sets it apart, though, is its character. 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.
