In the coming months, your support will allow us continue providing high-quality, nonjudgmental, affordable reproductive health care! With your help we can continue providing care to all who turn to us — regardless of their circumstances – while connecting thousands of qualified patients and their families to a full range of health care options! Your support helps to keep our services available throughout the year. Regardless of the attacks from our opponents that we have seen in 2016, our patients continue to rely upon Planned Parenthood for their immediate and crucial reproductive health care needs. Protesters have congregated in great numbers outside our health care centers this past year – especially during these challenging times, the safety and privacy of patients is a paramount concern. Even in the face of obstacles, Planned Parenthood continues to expand care to communities in need. This year, Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest merged with Planned Parenthood of Hawaii. This merger has already allowed Planned Parenthood to enjoy greater financial security, consolidate administrative costs, and direct more resources to serving local communities – especially those that are rural and underserved. Please consider a gift to Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and Hawaiian Islands, to help people in your community get access to essential reproductive health care. No matter what.
STANDING WITH PLANNED PARENTHOOD Your Support Makes a Difference Your gift to Planned Parenthood will have a direct and immediate impact in the lives of local patients. A gift to Planned Parenthood does much more than just help someone pay for a prescription or get an honest answer to a personal question. With your help, we can give people access to the care, resources, and information that will allow them to take control of their health, their lives, and their futures.
Your gift will be used to: $100 provides a full panel STI screening for a local patient. $250 funds an education training for teens that goes beyond the basics of puberty and safer sex to give youth the skills to prevent bullying, abuse and sexual violence. $700 sets a woman up with a long-acting, reversible contraceptive, helping her prevent unintended pregnancies for years to come. Support essential care in your community by making a gift today! Give online at www.ppgnhi.org/donate. Questions about corporate support, putting Planned Parenthood in your will, or something else? Please call us at 1-866-674-2538.

Red Envelope Campaign is Underway Decisions, decisions! They’re not the typical symbols of Fall, but on Bainbridge Island, a red envelope in your mailbox, One Call for All yard signs popping up around town, and pleas via email and social media from your favorite organizations mean one thing: The Red Envelope Campaign has begun. Since 1960, One Call for All has sent out an annual fundraising appeal on behalf of all of the nonprofit organizations that serve Bainbridge Island. It is like no other campaign or organization in the world, because One Call for All delivers 100 percent of your donation to the organizations you designate. Board members no longer knock on neighbors’ doors to collect for the appeal, though. The campaign relies on each Bainbridge resident to choose recipient agencies and submit their donation via mail or
online. Each year, the number of dollars raised grows – last year, the campaign raised $1.2 million! – but so does the need. If you’ve seen your Red Envelope, you know that 111 agencies serving Bainbridge are participating this year. Fourteen new agencies are included this year: Alchemy Industrial Arts, Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network (B.A.R.N.), Bainbridge Chinese Culture & Arts, Bainbridge High School Band Boosters, Bainbridge Island Little League, Bainbridge Island Pony Club, Bainbridge Island-Kitezh (formerly Camp Siberia), BI Village, Fort Ward Community Hall (Friends of Fort Ward), Kitsap Regional Library Foundation, Leadership Kitsap, Martha & Mary, Space Craft, and St. Cecilia Catholic School. Visit the One Call for All website to learn more. With one check or credit card donation, you can support as few or as many organizations as you’d like. The average donor chooses
seven, but many individuals broaden their impact by donating to the Community Fund (which is divided up into “shares” distributed to organizations headquartered on the Island) or to One Call for All operations, which supports all agencies.
Making a donation online has become even easier than before. You can even make a recurring donation monthly or quarterly if you’d like. You may also use the form on page 17 and mail it to One Call for All, P.O. Box 10487, Bainbridge Island, WA 98110.
As you peruse the list to choose your favorites, it might be helpful to note that for many organizations, the Red Envelope is the only solicitation you will receive this year. One Call for All exists as the fundraising vehicle for many of the smaller agencies – in fact, a third of One Call for All recipients have no paid staff at all.
Now it’s in your hands – time for you to choose which local nonprofits you wish to support. Thank you for your contribution.

Dispelling the Top Myths of One Call For All By Tracey Peacoe Denlinger and the One Call For All Board of Directors
As staff and board members of a celebrated and beloved institution on Bainbridge Island, we are always surprised when we hear about a misconception about One Call for All. We’ve been around for 56 years now, but misperceptions, myths, and rumors can be persistent in small towns! Allow us to clear up a few of the ones we hear frequently:

Susie Burdick, Executive Director of partner agency KiDiMu, greets museum visitors with Tracey Denlinger, Executive Director of One Call for All.
MYTH: We charge a fee. Nope, it’s not true. If you give $10 to Helpline House or $1000 to Bainbridge Schools Foundation or $10,000 to the Bainbridge Island Land Trust, or 100 other organizations, One Call for All does not keep a single penny of your gift. We have a small and lean operating budget that pays for printing, postage, advertising and marketing, and overhead, but we meet that budget
FALL 2016
thanks to the generous community members who choose to add One Call for All to their list of chosen agencies. MYTH: We stop collecting donations on December 31 (or any other date). This is one that seems to never die. We DO raise a lot of money for our partner organizations at the end of the year, which is many donors’ preferred time to make contributions. However, we can accept donations 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, and as mentioned above, 100% of your contribution goes to the agencies you designate. MYTH: We determine which organizations receive how much money. Our Executive Director gets calls from donors who say, “Just give it to whomever needs it most.” We are happy to put donations into our operational budget, which supports all participating agencies, or into our Community Fund, which supports SEE MYTHS,9

organizations headquartered on Bainbridge Island, but we don’t ever choose one organization over another – that’s your job! MYTH: We only accept checks. Wrong again! We accept credit cards online, and now PayPal this year. We accept gifts of appreciated assets like stock (which have great tax advantages for you as a donor). We’re proud of the fact that we can accept these gifts on behalf of our partner agencies who are not equipped to do so themselves. PLUS, as a donor you can divide the gift among as few or as many agencies as you would like. Many donors choose to make these kinds of gifts through One Call for All but choose not to include One Call for All in their designations — and that’s OK with us! It’s part of how we serve our community, both donors and partner agencies. MYTH: There is no benefit to participating in One Call for All. Aside from the convenience of being able to support 111 different organizations with a single check or credit card donation, your favorite on-

While you might give to many of your favorite organizations outside of the Red Envelope Campaign, these organizations greatly benefit from an additional Red Envelope gift from you. MYTH: All we do is send out the Red
Envelope. While the envelope itself is a big way we support our nonprofit partner agencies and their vital work, we operate year-round to ensure that nonprofits have the resources and connections they need to ensure that our community thrives!

DID YOU KNOW… That One Call for All can accept gifts of stock and other appreciated assets on behalf of the organizations you choose to support? Many One Call for All partner agencies have few or no staff and lack the capacity to accept donations online or via a brokerage account. One Call for All is very happy to offer this service free of charge to our nonprofit community. For many donors, giving appreciated stock or mutual fund shares that they’ve held for more than a year has tax benefits. Consult your financial advisor for details, but if you itemize deductions, you can take a charitable deduction for the stock’s value on the day you give it away, as well as avoid capital gains tax on the increased value. Of course, the biggest benefit to you is that you can spread out your gift among many of the wonderful organizations that contribute to making our Island special, and these organizations do not need to do anything to benefit from your generosity! Please call Tracey Peacoe Denlinger, Executive Director, for details about how to make a gift of stock. It’s easy! 206.842.0659

BAINBRIDGE ARTS & CRAFTS
Bringing artists together to thrive Contrary to myth, most artists don’t thrive in isolation. They thrive in context. In 1948 on a sparsely populated island with no bridge, a small group of local artists and craftspeople turned toward each other for inspiration and cohesion. They wanted to see and share new art, learn about art, and bolster their livelihoods through art. Sixty-eight years later, both Bainbridge Arts & Crafts and the vision of its founders endure.
Photo by Joel Sackett
Executive Director, Lindsay Masters, listening to artist Brian Watson talk about his work during installation for his exhibit.
Call it a visual arts trifecta: BAC nurtures artists at all stages of their development and careers, provides art education to people of all ages and abilities, and puts art to work in the human services arena.
“Bainbridge Arts & Crafts encapsulates what is wonderful about this island,” Executive Director Lindsay Masters says. “BAC’s founders built an organization around a sophisticated, broad-minded, and generous vision that art can accomplish multitudes: it can become a livelihood, a platform for education, and a means for improving people’s quality of life. “ The BAC storefront at 151 Winslow Way is now the hub for a rich, complementary mix of artwork for sale, art education, and visual arts programming with a focus on human services. The front gallery showcases ceramics, glass, jewelry, paintings, metalwork, drawings, sculpture, wood, textiles, and functional artwork with a contemporary bent, all handmade by Northwest artists, including a strong showing of immensely talented artists who are Bainbridge-based.

ARTISTS CONTINUED FROM 10
The middle and rear galleries are devoted to monthly rotating special exhibitions that, much like they did when BAC was founded, shine a spotlight on artists of all ages and life stages. Recent solo and group show highlights include regional stars like Gerard Tsutakawa, Duane Pasco, and Keiko Hara along with hometown gems Caroline Cooley Browne, Sally Robison (for whom the middle gallery is named) and Claudia McKinstry.
ARTS EDUCATION IN ITS MISSION Exhibiting student art and supporting the development of young artists remains a major focus as well. BAC maintains a longstanding relationship with the Bainbridge Island School District and each May, donates gallery space to local schools to give K-12 students and their hardworking teachers a chance to shine in a public gallery setting. BAC also administers annual
scholarships to graduating high school seniors who plan to study art in college, and provides grants to island art teachers to supplement their supply and programming budgets. Community education programs include monthly talks and demonstrations by professional artists, BAINBRIDGE ARTS & CRAFTS Lindsay Masters, executive director 151 Winslow Way East, Bainbridge Island 206.842.3132 gallery@bacart.org
which are offered free to the public on the first Saturday of each month. Affordable art workshops occur yearround with a focus on personalized instruction and small teacher-student ratios. Noteworthy community events include The Annual Artists’ Almost Perfect Sale, a benefit auction, and Paint Out Winslow, a weekend-long plein air festival. In recent years, under the leadership of former Executive Director Susan Jackson, BAC developed and established programming that focuses

on human service through art. • Art After 60 sends teaching artists into three local retirement centers every month to lead art activities with residents. By creating social opportunities and encouraging shared histories and storytelling, Art After 60 supports seniors’ health and well-being. • Art in the Lobby sends artists into the waiting area of Harrison Hospital Bremerton once per week each summer to lead therapeutic art activities with patients and families. • The Art Rental program enlivens area hospitals and medical centers with top-notch local art, creating a visual respite within what is by nature a stressful environment. As a nonprofit, adaptability and “can-do” have always been functional hallmarks of Bainbridge Arts & Crafts. In addition to selling art, the organization has devised creative ways to raise money to support its education and service endeavors. BAC offers annual memberships that come with a discount on gallery purchases. “Being a sales venue is just the beginning of how we function in our community,” Masters says. “The

dollars we take in through sales help create a livelihood for the 260 artists we represent, which is critically important because a healthy arts sector supports a healthy community. “At the same time, we put our membership, grant, and fundraising dollars to work in arts education and in our service programs. We are doing what every robust nonprofit organization does – we put our income back out to work in the community. And we do it in ways that underscore the power of art to change lives.” BAC is also a fun place to be, where staff and volunteers impart a sense of joy and purpose as they invite visitors to make new discoveries. Masters, who has been on staff since 2013, first walked into BAC a few days after moving to the island in 2004 and was immediately struck by the gallery’s friendliness and accessibility. “At BAC, art isn’t something to be held over your head or kept at a distance – it is something to be shared,” she says. “Everyone who walks through our door, whether it’s new visitors, longtime patrons, or artists, feels that sense of warmth and friendship. People are at home here.”

Nurture meets nature for island kids parents and caregivers seeking educational, medical, support and therapeutic services from pregnancy through early childhood.
Childhood is all about milestones, so too for a young organization like Peacock Family Services.
Other current initiatives include: • Supporting families in need through the Department of Social and Human Services childcare subsidies program and Peacock scholarships.
Consider: the first youngsters to graduate from Peacock’s preschool program are now entering fifth grade, and the first babies are now in kindergarten. Another measure of growth for the sixyear-old center on Madison Avenue: last year it earned high marks from the Washington State Department of Early Learning in a rigorous round of visitation and assessment. “This is a huge accomplishment for such a young program,” says Kathy Haskin, executive director. Founded as a non-profit by a group of active family services professionals, parents, grandparents and community leaders, Peacock is where family support resources and nurturing childcare combine to provide a much-needed family resource hub for the greater Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap area. Peacock’s mission is to promote the healthy social and emotional development of children. The vision holds that the kids will reach their full potential nurtured by families and caregivers who themselves feel supported, informed and connected. “We like to think that our major strength is the relationship between our teachers and our families,” Haskin says. Peacock’s C. Keith Birkenfeld Early Childhood Center now serves a diverse community of more than 50 families by providing content-rich early childhood education and flexible childcare options for children ages one to five years. The center is open 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. weekdays, with offerings tailored to the needs and schedules of each family. Awash in natural light, the center prides itself on LEED certification as a healthy environment in every sense. The building is a warren of classroom spaces and play areas inside and out, abuzz with activity until the switch is

This is also the teachers’ respite, when they can catch up on the other responsibilities that come with stewardship of so many young minds and bodies. The center’s commitment to socioeconomic diversity remains steady, with scholarships and government subsidies offered to families who can’t afford full tuition. In recent years, Haskin says, scientific research on how the brain develops has provided convincing evidence that the early childhood years are a critical time for developing essential abilities that influence wide-ranging and important cognitive, physical, and socio-emotional skills. Peacock parents recognize this importance as well, and families appreciate the support. The center has created “such a beautiful place for our daughter to grow up,” says Lisa, a Peacock mother. “My daughter is happy, loved and cared for. She is learning and growing into a great little person. We have Peacock to thank for that.”
NUTS ABOUT NATURE In the last two years, the center has expanded its childcare programs to serve older children as well. Recognizing the importance of open play in natural settings, Peacock’s Nature Nuts program, a partnership with the Bainbridge Island Metro Park
& Recreation District, is now a popular outdoor after-school opportunity for families with children grades K-3. The adventurous play, free exploration, and guided field investigations in Nature Nuts engages children in meaningful interactions with nature, supporting whole child development, and a connection to community. Nature Nut camps expand in the summer, sending kids toddling off about the island for mini-explorations such as “Forest Myth and Magic,” “Woodland Wings Flight Camp” and “Forts and Fires” to set young imaginations in motion.

Peacock itself continues to grow, bringing families together for featured speakers, classes and activities that strengthen bonds between parents, their children, and the greater community. “We’re bursting at the seams right now,” Haskin says. The center next hopes to expand its Parent Teacher Curriculum series, in addition to the Family Resources Directory and referral program for
• Building on the successes of the Early Childcare Center through active participation in Washington State’s Early Achievers Program. “Providing coaching, professional development for our teachers is a tangible way to demonstrate our commitment to providing quality care and education for young children,” Haskin says. • Exploring best practices and networking possibilities by convening Early Childhood organizations in our community through our Alliance of Bainbridge Childcare Directors gatherings. The organization is energized by the recent Department of Early Learning distinction. Early Achievers, Washington’s voluntary quality rating and improvement system, gives participating child care professionals free access to coaching, professional development and a tangible way to demonstrate their commitment to providing quality care and education for young children. The lengthy rating process took place over many months and culminated with an independent review conducted by the University of Washington. The comprehensive evaluation focused on adult/child interactions, the environment of the facility, curriculum and staff support, professionalism, family engagement and partnerships, in addition to child outcomes. Achieving the “Quality Level of Excellence” rating means that the Peacock staff will have access to additional training and resources during the coming months, and join the ranks of a small number of sites who have reached the certification. “Peacock values inclusiveness, health, and community,” Haskin says. “We are proud of the recognition the Peacock Family Center has received and are committed to continuing to improve on the level of care and support we provide for our families.”

Inspiring young riders to blaze trails When they’re not riding the trails, they’re often building them. Bainbridge Island Mountain Biking Club has built up quite a track record as volunteers, helping develop the local trail network at Fort Ward Park, Gazzam Lake, and other Park District properties. True, enlightened self-interest plays a part – when done, the club members will train on those very same trails – but a strong stewardship ethos comes with membership. “We were out a couple weeks ago at a new trail being built at Gazzam, and we had eight to 10 volunteers,” says John Benjes, BIMBC board member. “It’s astonishing how much progress
you can make on a trail in an hour and half or two hours, moving little bushes out of the way, pulling up ferns and doing a little raking. There are many more trails that have been put on the table for us to build.” Most often, though, the kids are chugging away on the trails under pedal power, training for various competitions that come along through a season that runs December through June. BIMBC was formed to raise funds and otherwise support the Gear Grinders mountain bike clubs active at the Bainbridge middle and high schools. While not an “official” school sport – at least not yet – mountain biking enjoys a strong local following, and youth riders compete off island through membership in the Washington Student Cycling League. The Gear Grinders teams currently boast more than 30 members, about Courtesy of BIMBC

Promoting island-grown goodness shallots, sweet potatoes, cabbage, corn, raspberries, squash, pumpkins, beans, peas, broccoli, greens, beets, carrots, garlic, tomatoes, and strawberries, along with six varieties of wine grapes, and nursery trees. Over 104,000 pounds of produce including 19,040 pounds of wine grapes were grown in 2015.
The past several years have brought a welcome resurgence of support for island farms, as demand for locally grown farm and food products continues to increase. “Our island’s rural landscape, enhanced by working farms, is attractive to residents and tourists alike,” says Heather Burger, Executive Director for Friends of the Farms. “We believe that local agriculture helps create the environment we want for our families. We don’t just live on this island, we become a part it when we have a relationship to the people who grow our food. We become more accountable inhabitants of Earth when we experience where our food comes from.” In fact, Bainbridge offers one of the most sensible places to protect farmland, Burger says. It has a rich multi-cultural agricultural heritage dating back nearly a century and a dedicated cadre of food and farm enthusiasts poised to shepherd farming into the next generation. So what is the problem? Land. “Access to land is the most-often stated constraint for new farmers – and even with many of the social and natural systems in place that favor local farmland – we’re losing it,” Burger
On average, nearly 500 volunteers totaling 3,500 volunteer hours are logged on public farmlands annually. The group also promotes familyscale agriculture by managing 14 pea patches around the island.

KIDS IN CONCERT
A life of beauty begins with music Every human being has the right to a life of dignity and contribution, filled with beauty. And every child can learn to experience and express music and art deeply, receive its benefits, and make critical life choices through this learning. Providing the gateway to this lifelong enrichment is where Kids In Concert comes in. “Besides learning to play an instru-
ment, our kids learn the value of community and friendship,” says Kirsten Branson-Meyer, executive director. “They get to experience the hard work of preparing for a performance, and the joy of having that performance go flawlessly.” Kids in Concert is a free, afterschool music program for kids ages 6 through high school. It provides instruments, choir and strings instruction, an after-school snack, and homework help, all at no cost to families. Presently operating out of the United Church of Christ in Suquamish, the nonsectarian program gives students a safe place to be themselves and the ability to participate at whatever level they are able. “Kids know what to expect, they know that no matter what happens, we are there for them,” Branson-Meyer says. “We give them a level of stability that some of them wouldn’t necessarily SEE MUSIC, 20

two-thirds of them middle schoolers. Their numbers are supplemented by 15 or so parent volunteers who ride and train alongside the kids. “Usually, at least one or both parents are avid bike riders,” Benjes says. The clubs train during twice-weekly rides, midweek in island parks, and on weekends usually at the more extensive trail network at Port Gamble. Riders place signs to alert other park users that riders will be on the trail that day, and aggressive riding is dissuaded. This is an important point, board member Jo Vanderlee says: Gear Grinders mountain biking is a controlled, cross-country sport, not a race-downhill-and-fly-over-a-jump spectacle. Stamina is rewarded over derring-do. Vanderlee says new riders come to the club each season with a wide range of abilities, “from ‘experienced’ to ‘never raced before.’” But the prospect of a good workout on winding, wooded terrain eventually leads to a more ambitious goal: victory.

“A lot of kids who think they might not want to be competitive, by the time the race rolls around, they’re ready to go,” she says.

Most volunteers are teen musicians from Bainbridge Island, imparting the value of their own studies to students who couldn’t otherwise afford instruments or lessons. “We provide training for them and they provide the magic that makes KIC work,” Branson-Meyer says. “The teens are everywhere, teaching, helping with homework, soothing hurt feelings, and singing and dancing right along with the students. They seem to get just as much out of KIC as our students do.

“You can give someone a job, you can give feed them, you can house them,” Branson-Meyer says, “but if you don’t feed their soul, they’re still going to be in poverty.”
After three years in the program the girl is now excelling in school, gaining confidence and self-esteem in social situations, thanks to her musical studies and the mentoring of Kids In Concert volunteers.
The Bainbridge-based organization led by Branson-Meyer serves the Suquamish community, where economic and childhood enrichment opportunities can lag somewhat behind those found on the island.
“The love that these little and big kids feel for each other is one of the nicest outcomes of our program.”
Three afternoons a week, students meet at the church for a half-hour of homework, a snack and some mentoring, and then musical instruction.

Parents find the program nurtures students of all abilities, often with surprising results.
Kids In Concert is modeled after El Sistema, an internationally renowned youth orchestra movement from Venezuela that has brought remarkable outcomes socially and musically across the globe. El Sistema holds that communities can overcome poverty and adversity by creating “an affluence of the spirit” through music. There are now almost 100 El Sistema offshoot programs
“Kids In Concert is simply a magical place,” says one parent of a 10-yearold girl who has taken up the violin. Before entering the program, the student’s developmental challenges found her often “a little off to the side, watching the action,” but not participating in activities with her peers. That all changed with music. “Her personality shines through at Kids In Concert,” the parent says. “I see it when I pick her up and she’s in no rush to leave. I see it at home when I ask her to practice her violin and she doesn’t argue. I see it when she gets so excited to see another KIC kid in town and she proudly says

like the Scotch Broom pull. The club is now raising funds for construction of a “pump track” training facility at Battle Point Park, to replace a sand volleyball court that has fallen out of favor and sits disused. Riders will negotiate a series of rollers and berms around an oval, undulating course, learning to shift their weight to maximize momentum and master control of their bike. “As you go over these bumps, you can actually increase your speed even onto flat ground,” Benjes says. “It’s pretty remarkable. It’s great for introducing kids to mountain biking, and how to use their bike and position their body to be safe and skilled.”

“When their little voices ring out with the song that says, ‘when I am with you, there’s no place I’d rather be,’ it’s not just a cheesy pop song anymore,” the parent says. “It’s the truth, and that’s the magic of Kids In Concert. To see my child pick up a musical instrument and smile is an amazing thing.” The young mentors from Bainbridge Island get as much from the program as the kids they’re helping. “When I think of KIC, I think of the friendships, some new, some old,” says one teen volunteer. “Laughing until our cheeks are sore, teamwork, silly faces, Silas and his wild stories, hugs from Peighton, more drawings from Evy to add to the growing collection on my fridge, Coco and her awesome hats, and learning ninja moves from Dio. And in the end watching our organized chaos come together and create something beautiful. “I can say without a doubt that the best part of week for the past two years, has been walking into KIC every Monday and being greeted by all the smiling faces I know and love.”
eye on local construction projects as a possible source of the dirt needed for track construction. The soil has to have the correct composition of clay, sand and silt for the track to hold through bad weather, but if they find it, contributed dirt will save an estimated $7,000 in materials costs. Benjes says they hope to name the completed track in honor of islander Jay Abbott, the popular middle school coach lost to a biking accident two years ago. Abbott’s loss was felt deeply across the community and within the Gear Grinder clubs, where he provided leadership and example for the young riders both on the bike and off. “He was a big part of the trail work parties,” Benjes says. “Jay really motivated the kids to get into that, and made it a very important part of our Gear Grinders program. That’s made a big difference.”

FARMS CONTINUED FROM 14
The celebration of local farming and community draws several thousand guests of all ages to historic Johnson Farm each year, from both on-island and off. The family event provides all-day, high-energy activities alongside educational opportunities to experience hands-on the value of local farms and food. From carriage rides and cider pressing to sheep shearing, local music, and locally grown and prepared foods, Harvest Fair connects people to our beautiful land. “The success of Harvest Fair relies on the ongoing collaboration of businesses and organizations that FRIENDS OF THE FARMS Executive Director, Heather H.

share our belief in the benefits of a thriving local agricultural community,” Burger says.
HEALTH, ENERGY, ENTHUSIASM The Friends of the Farms Pea-Patch program provides 14 plots for island families to grown their own food. Cynthia Shick, a Johnson Farm PeaPatch gardener, glows with health, energy, and enthusiasm. She loves working in the garden, she says, because it brings balance to life and helps her thrive.

“Being near the earth reminds me to slow down,” Cynthia says. “When you grow your food, life has the right pace.” Cynthia and her husband Dennis Fisher’s Pea Patch plot is impressive. Over the years they have grown raspberries, rhubarb, tomatoes, carrots, tomatillos, beans, peas, garlic, kale, beets and more. The couple likes the communal aspect of the Pea Patch and are always willing to help others learn how to be better gardeners. “Growing food takes some work,” she admits. “It takes planning and you have to show up when your garden needs you, but the reward is great: food that has traveled the shortest distance from the ground to your

table.” Friends of the Farm recently introduced a new FarmLink Program to connect landowners looking to have their land farmed with farmers seeking land. FarmLink provides direct links between current farmers, those ready to get into the vocation, and farmland owners. The program is a means to help preserve our agricultural lands and help beginning and current farmers develop and maintain profitable and sustainable farm operations. Long-term payoffs for the community include environmental stewardship, conservation of the rural character of the island, food security, and maintaining the local agricultural sector – a return to the island’s economic roots. To participate in FarmLink, landowners and farmers can complete a brief application describing their goals, situations, and resource needs. Friends of the Farms maintains a database of landowners looking for farmers to use their land and farmers who are hoping to find land to work. The database includes information from the applications, including the type of farming, parcel location, and other information. Participants are given a list of potential matches, and from there, Friends of the Farms will see what grows. “With local farming, we see the conditions under which farm animals are raised,” she says. “We know if our food is grown organically. We are aware and informed because we live alongside our farms. We share an experience when we visit a farm. “Our farmers’ markets are central gathering places where we connect with those who live around us. We encourage those who can to grow food on their land, or join with neighbors in a community garden or pea patch. This is the environment we want to foster.” Ryan Montella who has managed public farmland at Johnson, Morales, and Day Road farms for the past five years, envisions the future of farming on Bainbridge as an educational powerhouse, working to address global agricultural issues surrounding food sovereignty. “I commend Friends of the Farms, our City Council, and the people of Bainbridge Island for their support and belief in the importance of local agriculture,” he says.

Saving wild lives West Sound Wildlife Shelter is the only wildlife hospital and education center in the western Puget Sound region. We strive to provide the highest quality and compassionate treatment and rehabilitation services to injured, sick and orphaned wildlife, assure their safe release and promote their protection through public outreach and education. Through the efforts of our staff, licensed rehabilitators, volunteers, educators, veterinarians, and support from our generous donors, the Shelter was able to care for 1569 patients in 2015, a 30% increase over 2014. And we expect to treat more than 1600 this year, which means more than 16,000 patients have arrived at our door since we opened in 1999.
