RETURN TO FORM: Spartan gymnasts start season with wins.A14

BY BRIAN KELLY AND RICHARD D. OXLEYBainbridge Island Review

Bainbridge Island Police Commander Sue Shultz resigned from her post at the embattled police department Dec. 14, one day after the results of an outside investigation into allegations of gender discrimination by Shultz against other female officers in the depart-ment was released.

The investigation found no conclusive evidence of gender bias on Shultz’s part.

City Manager Doug Schulze called it a “mutual decision” between himself and the city’s top commis-sioned officer.

“We just felt that there needed to be a complete lead-ership change in the depart-ment and now was the time to make that happen,” he said.

Shultz will stay on board with the city until her official final day of employment on Wednesday, Jan. 2. She will remain on paid administrative leave until then.

Shultz, who turned in her weapon and badge when she was put on suspension in late November, was placed on leave due to allegations of gender bias and harassment.

An outside investigator hired by the city, how-ever, was unable to determine if Shultz mistreat-ed two fellow officers in the department because they were women.

The details of Shultz’s suspension amid internal allegations of improper behavior from fellow Bainbridge police officers came late last week, after city officials released documents sought under a public records request from the Bainbridge Island Review.

Bainbridge officials had earlier refused to release the records, and said they wanted to wait until a pre-disciplinary hearing was held Monday with Shultz.

The records released by the city show that two female employees who had applied for the job of police commander, but were passed over in favor of Shultz, filed the complaint.

Despite the exonerating finding on the most vital piece of the complaint, the investigation

BY RICHARD D. OXLEYBainbridge Island Review

Every year, Kolyne Forro goes to a magical place. From a simple wintery house to an extravagant chicken coop.

This year, she journeyed down a yellow brick road all the way to an emerald city.

“I love ‘The Wizard of Oz,’” Forro said. “Absolutely love it.”

Adding that fervor togeth-er with her favorite holiday, Christmas, makes a pretty sweet recipe for Forro’s lat-est gingerbread house, cur-rently on display at Doc’s in Winslow.

The display is extrava-gant to say the least, and is entirely edible. Aside from a few unicorn candy pops that are included, every bit of candy, gingerbread and icing — from the Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and Dorothy to the Wicked Witch and Flying Monkeys

in the Haunted Forest — was hand-made by Forro.

An edible molding called “fondant” was also utilized to sculpt certain parts.

“Icing is key, it holds everything together,” she said. “It has to be perfect. It takes a half hour to make every batch.”

Forro is a six-year staff member at Doc’s and also substitute teaches.

What started 10 years ago as a hobby for the holidays has evolved into an annual gingerbread addiction and has grown more elaborate each year.

“The very first year was

just a house, I was just prac-ticing,” Forro said. “They have just gotten bigger since then. This is the best one I’ve ever done.”

Forro’s sweet passion doesn’t come without its drawbacks. She burned her-self making the rock candy for the green skyline of the Emerald City. Her mom also

suffered a burn from the sugar mix molded into the twister that carries Dorothy away.

And then, there was a chef at Doc’s who fell while hang-ing the twister, shattering his wrist and dislocating his shoulder in the process.

But it’s worth it. Forro, and Doc’s other staff, get a

kick out of all the onlookers who come in to see the gin-gerbread house.

“It just gets everybody into the holiday season,” Forro said. “I love to do this kind of thing. I love ginger-bread houses.”

“People flock to it imme-diately when they come in,” she added. “It’s awesome; it’s really cool.”

The Emerald City was a challenge for this year’s dis-play. Forro had never made rock candy before, which is what she used to construct the deep green spires of the Emerald City. Now she has it down to a science.

“You take 8 ounces of water, five cups of sugar, bring it to a boil, then 11 ounces of Karo corn syrup, some cream of tatar and food coloring,” Forro spouts right off the top of her head.

The Emerald City alone ended up weighing 30 pounds.

She wasn’t sure how well the rock candy addi-tion would go, so Forro got started early this year, on the last day of August. But after approximately 60 pounds of sugar experimentation, she got it just right. And under deadline.

“It was done in October,” she noted.

With the display attracting so many onlookers, Doc’s decided to put it to good use. Donations for the Seattle Children’s Hospital are being collected at the display. Doc’s will match the cash dona-tions taken in.

Now that Forro is done with this year’s project, she has already begun thinking ahead to the next ginger-bread season.

“I’m still up in the air about it, but I’m thinking of a Candy Land theme for next year,” she said. “I’m thinking of doing a big castle. Next year’s might be bigger.”

The Bainbridge Island Fire Department’s holi-day music truck outing Wednesday night was cut short when firefighters were called to battle a house fire.

“They were about an hour and a half into their run,” said Fire Marshal Luke Carpenter. “We try not to dis-appoint, but sometimes we have to go to work,” he said.

No one was home at the time of the fire, but a Bluff Street house was heavily damaged.

Two cats died in the blaze, but firefighters were able to save the life of a dog that had also suffered from smoke inhalation.

The fire put a quick end to Wednesday’s holiday truck run.

Fire crews take their truck — decked with lights and holiday music — around island neighborhoods each holiday season to spread good cheer.

But after a neighbor called 911 to report a fire, the festive lights on the depart-ment’s holiday rig were shut off and the siren was turned on.

The call came in at 6:20 p.m.

“She reported hearing explosions and seeing flames,” Carpenter said.

The flames were isolated to the garage of the split-level home. A car and other

items in the garage were destroyed. Rooms above the garage were also damaged.

Fire crews were able to stop the spread of the blaze, but the remainder of the house suffered smoke dam-age.

Two cats died from smoke inhalation. A dog was also found in poor health from the smoke, but fire crews were able to resuscitate it.

The investigation into the fire is ongoing, but Carpenter said that it appears accidental.

The fire department will look at possible holiday truck route changes in the coming days hoping to cover areas that were missed Wednesday night.

Alex GardinerHow does Santa keep track of all the good and bad boys and girls? There are a lot of kids in the world. “I think he has a big computer that con-tains all the peo-ple. I think so. I don’t know for sure, but I think so because I saw it in the Polar Express movie.”What does Santa do if someone isn’t very nice, does he give them a present anyway?“He actually gives them coal.”Coal? What’s coal?“It’s something that you burn to make electric, under a fire thing. It’s not very fun. If you’re bad, you get a bag of coal.”What would you do if you got a bag of coal?

“Give it to a train.” Who is Santa’s most famous reindeer?“Rudolf.”Why is his nose red?“One reindeer accidentally bumped one antler into his nose.”

Gracie MoffattSanta is kind of large. How does he get down the chimney?“I think he gets a little bit crunched up, in his knees, and then he goes down.”How does Santa know who to give presents to?“He has a list of who is mean and who is nice.”What do you have to do to get on the nice list?“You have to be good and not like be in trouble.” How many elves work at Santa’s workshop?“Maybe 10. They have

these little brown shoes with a little point on top.” Why do they have curly shoes?“So they can walk better.”What’s the best thing about the holidays?“I like celebrating the spe-cialest dinner ever.”

Mae WysongSanta is sort of a large fellow. How do you think he gets down the chimney?“He gets as small as a kid.”How does Santa keep track of who is good and who is bad?“A snow globe.”What happens to kids who have been naughty and not so nice?“They get coal, because they’ve been bad.”What do you use coal for?“When you cook steak.”

Sara KrieghHow does Santa get inside without anyone hearing him?“I think he uses some elf magic so he can be light.” Santa is sort of a large fel-low. How do you think he gets down the chimney?“He gets skinny with his magic.”

Alexa McDevittHow does Santa tell if children have been good or bad?“If they are yelling, it kind of means they are a little bit on the bad side.”How about good?“If they give their puppy food, if they have one.”Where is Santa’s work-shop? Is it somewhere on Bainbridge?“No. It’s at the North Pole. It’s very cold, it has lots of ice.”

Gavin SmitHow many elves does it take to make all these toys?“3,100.”What’s it like at the North Pole?“It’s cold.”Have you been good?“Yes.”All year long, or just lately?“All year long.”

Quincy MalloyWhere does Santa live?“The North Pole. It’s far away.”How does Santa sneak around and not be heard when he is drop-ping off presents.“I don’t know how he doesn’t make noises when he has a bell on his hat.”Where does Santa get all the presents? Town & Country?“Elves make them.”

Devon BiddleWho else is up there with Santa at the North Pole?“Elves. They help Santa wrap the presents. And they help make the toys.”How many elves are up there?“I think he has 100, or something like that.”What does an elf look like?“They have coogley hair.”How does Santa know if you have been good or bad?“He knows if people have been bad or naughty or good. If you have been naughty, he will probably not give you presents. He’s not joking.”What makes Rudolf nose red?“I think there’s this wire that sticks on to his nose and there’s a plug.”If Rudolph’s nose wouldn’t light, what would Santa do?“He would probably take a Christmas ornament off the tree and glue it on to his nose.”

State Patrol warnsof Amber Alert scam

The Washington State Patrol is warning citizens that the agency is not conducting a fundraiser for the Amber Alert system.

Officials with the State Patrol said Tuesday the agency had received reports from people who had gotten calls asking for donations to support the Amber Alert program.

The calls appear to be a scam, officials said, but they noted that the State Patrol does not have enough information on the calls to launch an investiga-tion.

While the State Patrol does oversee the Amber Alert pro-gram in Washington, officials said that the State Patrol, local agencies, nor anyone on the State Patrol’s behalf is soliciting funds to support the Amber Alert system in Washington.

Officials remind citizens to research charities before mak-ing a donation; visit www.sos.wa.gov/charities/consumer_faq.aspx for more information.

Rep. Hansen will be guest speaker

Bethany Lutheran Church will be celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Sunday during its 8:30 and 10 a.m. worship ser-vices on Sunday, Jan. 13.

Drew Hansen, state Representative from the 23rd Legislative District and a mem-ber of Bethany, will be speaking at each service.

Rep. Hansen is a Rhodes Scholar who studied theol-ogy at Oxford, and is a highly regarded author and speaker on Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. He is the author of “The Dream: MLK and the Speech that Inspired a Nation” (2003, Harper Collins).

AROUND THE ISLAND


Parker Hutchinson, a student from Sonoji Sakai Intermediate, and Chris DeBlois, a student from Ordway Elementary, write messages of hope and condolences on a banner that will be sent to the victims of the Newtown shooting tragedy. The two boys were joined by a group of fourth- and fifth-grade students from the Torch Club at the Bainbridge Island Boys & Girls Club in making the poster this week. “I wrote a message that says, ‘We feel bad for you from the bottom of our hearts,”’ Parker said. The club plans to send the banner to a Boys & Girls Club near Newtown.

OPINIONBainbridge Island

IN OUR OPINION

David Moseley, assistant secretary of Washington State Ferries, won’t be moving on to a new job.

Moseley, who has led Washington State Ferries since early 2008, was a finalist in the search for a new executive director of South Sound 911, a new emer-gency communications agency in Pierce County.

Though it’s unfortunate for Moseley personally that he was not offered the position with South Sound 911, ferry travelers should be grateful that Moseley will stay at the helm of Washington State Ferries in this difficult time.

WSF certainly has seen better days. The ferry sys-tem has been hamstrung by critical revenue shortages, increased costs and an aging fleet that has made ferry sailing cancellations seem almost routine.

Moseley, however, deserves great credit for his per-sistent highlighting of the problems facing WSF and his candor in publicly addressing the challenges that the agency faces - most of which revolve around a lack of adequate funding for Washington’s marine highways.

We’ve been impressed in recent years how Moseley has conducted himself during the many meetings with ferry communities he’s led, meetings where he has faced some of WSF’s harshest critics in settings more reminiscent of a mob scene than a civic gathering.

Talk alone won’t solve the problems at WSF. But with Moseley still aboard, citizens will have someone in charge who listens and is largely responsive to their concerns.

It’s a classic case of good news, bad news

LETTERSIn responseA star in our midst taught us so very much To the editor:

For those of us lucky enough to know Susan Thompson, we knew we were near grace, elegance and dignity personified.

And those lucky enough to be taught by Susan (how many over the last 25 years?) didn’t know it early on, but came to know through the years, the quality of the education they received from Susan and her excellent faculty.

It was not just a dance educa-tion dancers received at Bainbridge Dance Center.

Besides a stunning dance educa-tion, Susan taught so much more. She taught the dancers about life, friendship, teamwork, grace, sacri-fice, self-discipline. She also taught them about the art and beauty of dance.

How many dancers started there at 4 years old and danced at Bainbridge Dance Center for the next 14 years? Even those who did not stay or were not there for all of those years will carry their days at the dance center with them forever.

I wonder how many lives Susan touched during her too-short life. I count myself lucky to be one of them. I count myself especially lucky that our daughter, Anna, has grown these last 12 years knowing and learning from Susan.

She has been an unsung hero amongst us (I don’t think she would have wanted it any other way), and she is already greatly missed.

For Susan, please support the art

of dance in our community — and anywhere you can.

Roundtable on policing helped lay groundworkTo the editor:

On Tuesday evening, Dec. 11, Islanders for Collaborative Policing hosted a roundtable discussion about mental illness and policing.

From our perspective, it was a suc-cess because of the quality and tone of the conversation.

Representatives from groups and agencies serving the mentally ill exchanged observations and frustra-tions. Local officers spoke frankly about the challenges facing first responders. Audience members net-worked with panelists after the event, and laid the groundwork for new relationships.

There was clear consensus about the need for more officer training, community/professional/police partnerships, and better service inte-gration.

There was strong support expressed for a Kitsap County sales tax that would fund mental health ser-vices (there are currently 20 counties in Washington that tax themselves this way).

With two lieutenants on the panel and several officers in the audience, it was clear that the Bainbridge Island Police Department wants to engage with community about mental health issues, and think through new ways to improve policing services.

Thanks to the panelists, audi-ence members and islanders for

Collaborative Policing volunteers who helped with this event. Particular thanks to Bill, Joyce and Tami Ostling for their participation, and their insis-tence that their loss be a catalyst for positive community change.

KIM HENDRICKSONIslanders for Collaborative Policing

Compassion and spirit will move us forwardTo the editor:

Just for the holidays let’s consider which is more dangerous: falling off the fiscal cliff or falling off compas-sion’s cliff. Shall we look for our place in the larger world or are we so brainwashed that we don’t see the constant commercialization of our culture and our politics, while our holidays encourage a selfish style of greed, non-accountability and covert-ness that destroys families, discour-ages the middle class, abandons the disabled, bankrupts seniors, endan-gers the life of our children and creates a dangerous national poverty of spirit.

Of course, much is expected of those who are given much — let’s use it wisely.

Let’s admit there is a great and growing scarcity in our nation. Let’s admit there are smoking guns.

When tweeting and texting isn’t enough, try eye contact, hugging, affection, curiosity, truth and an open empathic ear. In this season of giving, why not turn the dark into light by understanding how only our com-passion toward each other and our spirit will keep this great nation safe, prosperous and secure.

MARY ANN PROCTOR Bainbridge Island

Anne Lamott’s most recent literary offering is “Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers.” In reading her book, thus far through “help” and “thanks,” I find merit in her thesis and imagine its application in my own spirituality and that of our community.

Reading “Help, Thanks, Wow” during Thanksgiving week provided a helpful framework for gratitude: In prayerfully considering the world around us, we give voice to the needs, the yearnings, the cries for “help,” as we see a wounded creation. Our prayers include those whose “help” takes the shape of hunger and violence and homeless-ness.

In reflecting prayerfully on the needs, on the “help,”

we come to realize more profoundly the beauty of God’s creation, its abundance, even its capacity

for healing, which creates a space for “thanks.”

In this awareness, in this gratitude, we discover in ourselves and in our commu-nities a deeper sense of com-passion and generosity that often speaks to this need. We open our hearts, and our wallets, to give expression to this “thanks,” and we strive to address the ache.

We then pray the “Wow.”

As I indicated, I have not yet read Lamott’s “Wow.” In an Advent way, I am holding off on reading the “Wow” section until Christmas Day, after our 9 a.m. worship, at a time when preachers treat themselves to their own spiritual nourishment.

For now, I invite you to consider with me some of the progressions of “Help, Thanks, Wow” we have before us.

In Thanksgiving week, I saw it through five Bethany youth who ventured to the Compass Center in Seattle to prepare and serve dinner for 50 men who lack housing. The “help” was evident in the condition of those dining, and the “thanks” was etched on their faces as they shared a meal.

But perhaps a deeper

well of prayerful “thanks” was seen in the youth themselves, as they shared a meal, as they served, as they recognized the privilege it is to give of themselves. They will be serving there again on Christmas Day. From this the “wow” inspires us to advocate for better human services and oppor-tunities for such individuals, many who are veterans. If you want to encounter the “Wow,” just surround your-self with young people!

“Help, Thanks, Wow” describes the community of faith I am called to serve, Bethany Lutheran Church.

In 2013, we celebrate “100 Years New,” our centen-nial, as we weave together (with a physical loom!) our memories, including eight feisty Swedish women who

informed their husbands that they, by God’s grace, would “Help” them start a Lutheran church on Bainbridge Island.

We will throughout the year give thanks for all that God has done and does, and we will continue to open ourselves to the “Wow!” that God has yet to unfold.

“Help, Thanks, Wow!” has taken a new shape since I first wrote this article, and so now we apply these prayer-ful essentials to a nation in grief.

In the shadow of Newtown and the violence wrought upon holy innocents at Sandy Hook School, in this dark midwinter, the “Help” is apparent in our hearts and in our communities. Ours is an ache, a yearning for peace and healing.

It feels premature to imagine gratitude, unless we squint and see the heroism of teachers (in Newtown and on Bainbridge), and their affection for their students. We might even muster the strength to give thanks for

first responders and for those who respond with sup-port and prayers.

But let us also have the courage and the faith to come to imagine the “Wow” of prayerfulness that calls us more deeply into being communities of compassion: a people who say “enough” to a culture of violence; who have the capacity to walk with the stigmatized; who say, with Jesus, that they are all God’s children. “Wow!”

In the Christian tradi-tion, this season of Advent, the four weeks before Christmas, is an occasion for prayer, for the “help” that cries out from those needing comfort and liberation; it is the “thanks” that comes with welcoming Jesus, Immanuel, God with us.

And, it is the “Wow” of the Prince of Peace residing in our midst.

This Christmas, let us enter into God’s “Wow!”

Paul Stumme-Diers is the pastor of Bethany Lutheran Church.

‘Help, Thanks, WOW!’ and its impact on our communityINTERFAITHBY PAUL STUMME-DIERS

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS800.562.2455 • dist10.org

did say that Shultz had “unfairly targeted” one or both of the two female offi-cers and had treated them worse than male officers in the department.

Bainbridge officials blacked out the names of the female officers who filed the complaints.

Shultz respondsResponding to the investi-

gation, Shultz said in a Dec. 10 letter to the city that there had been hard feelings

with some employees after she had gotten the com-mander’s job, and she cited a long list of accomplish-ments since she joined the city’s force in 2007.

Shultz described the pair who filed the complaint as “disgruntled.”

She refuted each and every claim made by the two officers, and also noted that she had earlier com-plained with a formal letter of complaint against one of the officers in February 2010 because of the officer’s harassing and negative behavior toward Shultz after her promotion.

According to records obtained by the Review,

both of the officers who complained about Shultz had been the focus of inter-nal police investigations for improper conduct, and Shultz helped conduct the investigations that led to dis-ciplinary actions against the two officers.

Shultz had also named one of the officers in a formal complaint filed in February 2010 that accused her of “on-going unsupport-ive behavior and badmouth-ing and/or spitefulness toward fellow Bainbridge Island officers and staff.”

Shultz said at the time the “destructive behavior” by the officer was creating a hostile work environment.

In her recent response to the investigation, Shultz cited numerous problems with the review of allega-tions against her conducted by Seabold Group, the Seattle-based firm that was secretly hired by the city to conduct the investigation on the two officer’s claims.

Shultz said Seabold did lit-tle to look for evidence that ran counter to the claims raised by the two officers.

“If the Seabold report was

the product and result of an investigation into the alle-gations of criminal wrong-doing, a prosecutor would not even consider criminal charges based on the poor quality of the report and investigation,” Shultz said in her response to the city.

“This report would be completely unacceptable to a prosecutor,” she wrote.

According to the inves-tigation report, the two employees said the evidence of mistreatment included an incident where Shultz complained about how one woman’s voice sounded on a police radio call.

Another allegation cen-tered on a recollection that one of the Bainbridge police female officers had been written up for wearing a police jumpsuit when it wasn’t appropriate, while a male officer received only a verbal warning for a similar uniform violation.

Another part of the complaint of wrongdoing: Shultz’s negative reaction to hearing that officers had made jokes during radio transmissions about an emergency call for loose sheep on the island, and then telling Chief Jon Fehlman about it.

One other complaint, denied by Shultz, centered on a female officer getting “chewed out” for dying her

hair.The outside investigator

also reviewed a complaint from one of the female offi-cers about being questioned about a non-departmental pin she was wearing on her uniform.

Departure OK’dThe city manager and the

departing commander both signed off on a separation agreement on Dec. 14.

Shultz, who joined the Bainbridge Police Department in 2007 and was promoted to commander in 2010, earned an annual sal-ary of $119,172.

The severance package would include a lump sump payment of roughly $19,800 for two months of pay.

Shultz will also be paid for her unused vacation time, and she will be eligible to continue receiving medical, dental and vision benefits for 18 months after her last day.

According to the agree-ment, Shultz is expected to file for unemployment insurance, and the city has agreed to not oppose her collection of unemployment compensation.

Shultz’s resignation was the second from a high level Bainbridge police officer within four months. Jon Fehlman resigned as the department’s police chief in

September. Fehlman spent the sum-

mer on administrative leave due to an investigation into allegations from the city’s police union. The union took a vote of no confidence in Fehlman in June.

It wasn’t long after Fehlman’s exit that Shultz was placed on administrative leave in late November.

City officials have said that there are currently no plans to fill the position of police commander.

The city has hired a temporary manager while awaiting to fill the chief posi-tion. Interim Public Safety Director Larry Dickerson has been in charge of the island’s department since July.

Bainbridge Island Police Department Lt. Bob Day, the president of the police guild, did not respond to requests for comment after Shultz’s resignation on Dec. 14.

The union had asked the administration at city hall earlier this year for the firing of both Fehlman and Shultz due to vague allegations of misdeeds.

The city later launched an outside investigation into Fehlman after the union’s vote of “no confidence” in the chief.

The investigation into Shultz was launched later this summer.

Report detailedAccording to the report

released last week, Seabold Group interviewed 18 wit-nesses, including the two women who made the alle-gations, all four lieutenants on the force, and several former and current police officers and employees.

Interim City Manager Morgan Smith was also interviewed, as well as the director of human resourc-es, Interim Public Safety Director Larry Dickerson, and Dr. Ted Rosenbaum, the police department’s psy-chologist.

Shultz, the target of the investi-gation, was also questioned.

The investigation found that Shultz “on a rather consistent basis” treated the two women who had filed the complaint more harshly, or held them to a higher standard, than male officers or lieu-tenants in similar circumstances.

The investigation could not find conclusive evidence of gender bias, however.

“The evidence regarding inten-tional gender bias is inconclusive,” the report said.

“It is clear that Cmdr. Shultz

and [complainant] and to a lesser degree, [other complainant], have had strained working relationships for several years, but there also is substantial evidence that Cmdr. Shultz’ management style and interactions with the complainants are related to a combination of fac-tors other than gender bias,” she continued.

Those factors included a lack of supervisory experience, but also “a lack of cohesion at the command level, including among the lieuten-ants, that contributed to an ‘us ver-sus them’ perception” in the police department.

The investigator also said Shultz was unable to keep her differences between her and one of the com-plainants “at the professional level

and not make them personal.”In a written response to the

report, Shultz said the allegations of negative treatment toward female officers were unfounded and that the investigator failed to question others who could back up Shultz’s version of events.

Shultz noted that both of the women who had complained had also sought the commander’s job did not score well on the test and were passed over, which left the pair “quite disgruntled.”

“There is no recognized motive for me to treat either of these women more negatively than oth-ers,” Shultz wrote. “In my 25 years of law enforcement, I have never been accused of or mistreated a fellow officer or subordinate

employee.”Shultz also recalled the prob-

lems she faced when she joined the Bainbridge Island Police Department as a new officer in April 2007.

“I was identified as the newcom-er. There were identified attempts to sabotage my success within the department and I have faced them with my head held high, always looking toward the future,” she wrote in her Dec. 10 response to the allegations to the city manager.

Shultz wanted to stayIn her letter, Shultz indicated

she wanted to stay on with the Bainbridge department.

“Challenges are an opportunity

to show what the employee can do and how professional they can be when facing a storm,” she wrote. “I am seeing the allegations of nega-tively treating two employees as a challenge, one that I can success-fully work through.

“I am looking forward to return-ing to the office of Commander for the Bainbridge Island Police Department and providing you an opportunity to view the very best work I can achieve.”

Island hosts 24th annual Mochi Tsuki CelebrationBY CECILIA GARZA

Bainbridge Island Review

The Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community will be taking in the new year on Jan. 6 with the 24th annual mochi tsuki, or “mochi-making.”

Pronounced “moe-chee sue-key,” the Mochi Tsuki Celebration on Bainbridge Island is one of the nation’s longest-running public demonstrations of cooking a centuries-old rice treat, a labor intensive activity that involves soaking, steaming and pounding hot rice into soft round cakes often filled with a sweet bean paste called “ahn” (pronounced “on”).

“[Mochi Tsuki] has been going on in Japan for over 1,000 years,” said Clarence

Moriwaki of the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community.

“Sweet rice was a little more rare, and the method of cooking and pounding it

was a way to be grateful for the bounty of the year before and also to look forward to another year,” he said.

The preparing of mochi is a practice best done with

many helping hands. The sweet rice is first steamed in wooden boxes stacked on top of a water basin that sits over an open fire. The steam rises through the boxes and cooks the rice.

The cooked rice is then placed into a stone mortar called an “usu.”

Once the hot rice is poured into the usu, the real fun begins as two or three volunteers use large wooden mallets to rhythmically pound the rice. Between each mallet coming down, a last person stands ready to turn the rice with bare hands as it transforms into a thick dough.

After the pounding of the mochi is done, it then goes through several fast-paced stages of being separated,

filled with sweet ahn and hand rolled into round cakes, best eaten warm and with sugar-sweetened soy sauce.

Last year, 1,800 people were estimated to be in attendance at the event.

“People that come are coming from all over the state,” Moriwaki said. “It’s kind of outgrown our com-munity.”

But Moriwaki adds that although last year’s atten-dance may have been a high water mark, the Mochi Tsuki celebration has become part of the Bainbridge Island calendar.

The event, which is free to everyone, will include three performances by the Seattle taiko drum group Kokon Taiko, a Japanese-American

ensemble that combines ancient and contemporary compositions in their perfor-mances. Free tickets will be available 20 minutes prior to each performance, but space is limited to 175 seats.

The “Kodomo No Tame Ni - For the Sake of the Children” exhibit will be on display as will the latest models and renderings of the expected Bainbridge Island Japanese-American Exclusion Memorial, “Nidoto Nai Yoni - Let It Not Happen Again.”

The group will be host-ing the event at IslandWood from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The celebration is free to the public but carpooling is encouraged as parking will be limited.


Many heard the call and jour-neyed from their varied regions to middle Bainbridge, in the land of Winslow. Loyal followers braved darkened island streets, battled daunting late-night hours, and suf-fered long lines stretching through Pavilion hallways.

In the end, they were trium-phant.

Islanders came out in force to be among the honored few, first to see “The Hobbit” as it was released for midnight showings in movie theaters across the country. And

Bainbridge Cinema’s on Madison Avenue wasn’t spared from crowds of Tolkien enthusiasts for its own midnight opening event on Thursday, Dec. 13.

“We did well with it,” said Jeff Brein of Far Way Entertainment, the company that owns Bainbridge Cinemas.

“We were really pleased with the turnout,” he added.

The island theater offered the film in both 2D and 3D presenta-tions. Between the two, the theater more than sold out.

The theater only holds a handful of midnight showings each year for films, and is never certain how the

showings will go.“Some of the contributing factors

(for the midnight showing) was that is was a school night,” Brein said. “But also, it is a three-hour movie.”

The 3D option is somewhat new for the theater, Brein said, but the island audience has embraced it well.

“Most of the young people are pretty hip to it, they have seen it before and understand how it visu-ally works,” Brein said. “Some of the older folks haven’t seen it or remember the old cardboard

glasses with red-and-blue frames and pretty hokey treatment. This is a much dif-ferent experience.”

Brein noted that the film has surprisingly drawn a wider audience than expect-ed. “The Hobbit” garnered plenty of support from kids and teens, but it didn’t stop there.

“This movie continues to attract a very broad audi-ence,” he said. “We’ve had more seniors than I would

have thought — people 50 and above — we’ve had some really good response from them.”

Brein speculated that the response could have some-thing to do with the island culture — literally.

“On Bainbridge we always do well with films that are lit-erature-based,” Brein said. “If a movie is based on a book, on Bainbridge Island we always seem to get a really good response.”

The film’s success wasn’t isolated to the island.

The opening weekend for “The Hobbit” raked in an impressive $84.8 million,

setting a new opening week-end record for the month of December.

“I Am Legend” previously held the title when it opened on the same weekend in 2007. The Will Smith flick pulled in $77.2 million.

The midnight showings alone for “The Hobbit” grossed $13 million.

It all marks the beginning of a new blockbuster trilogy. The second installment of the hobbit tale, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” will be released next December.

It will be followed up by “The Hobbit: There and Back Again,” in July 2014.

BY BRIAN KELLYBainbridge Island Review

With a small but solid nucleus remaining from last year’s team, and some new additions from the junior varsity squad, the Spartans have started the gymnastics season with a bit of a chip on their shoul-ders.

“We have some more things we want to prove,” said Spartan Coach Cindy Guy.

At the top of the list: Bainbridge wants to be perfect this season, to underscore again the Spartans’ dominance in the sport. BHS has only one regular-season loss since 2001, and hasn’t lost at home since 2000.

The Spartans’ current crew has vowed to continue the streak, and not be the team that breaks the string of success.

“This is very important, to not be the team,” Guy said.

That standard, she added, was the girls’ idea.

“They put it on themselves. That, to them, is very important.

“And it should be. It’s a great legacy.”

Guy knows a thing or two about legacies. She has been the coach of the Spartan program for 33 years, and said matching last year’s suc-cess boils down to a few crucial components.

Last season, the Spartans won the district crown and placed third at state.

“We snuck up on a lot of people,” Guy said.

Much credit goes to Sarah Rice, a freshman on the team who was ninth in all-around scores at the state championships.

On the last day of competition at the Tacoma Dome, Rice finished fifth in the vault with a score of 9.425, came in eighth on the bars at 8.775, and was 12th on the beam with 8.850.

As a sophomore, there will be a greater emphasis on Rice’s skills development and bumping up the degree of difficulty in her events.

Rice is currently coming off a wrist injury, but the coach said she’s showing improvement in her routines.

Other top returners include team captain Marielle Summers, a senior and also a veteran of the state com-petition.

“When you’re a senior, you really

understand competition,” Guy said.Miller Shor, who also competed

at the Tacoma Dome as a fresh-man, is another top returner.

Guy also said she expects a strong season from Heidi Franz, another senior on the squad, and the coach noted the performance of Dominque D’Onofrio, a junior, at last week’s matchup against Bellingham and Mercer Island.

Seven athletes on the team’s ros-ter of 23 are in the sophomore or freshman ranks.

“We have had to put kids that were JV last year on varsity this year,” Guy said.

The team has young competitors on bars and beam, and also some new faces in the vault. Even so, the team has six seniors and 10 juniors on the roster.

“We’ve got quite a bit of depth,” the coach said.

Guy said it was difficult to say at this early point in the season where the Spartans will find their greatest challenge.

In the Metro League, Bainbridge has only competed so far against Holy Names.

Next up for the Spartans is Nathan Hale late this week.

“We’ll see Nathan Hale and then figure out where to go from there,” she said.

What’s most critical for Spartan success this season? Guy said it was no surprise.

“It’s sounds really trivial. Sticking your landings on every event is crucial.”

Outside of vault, the Spartans

will also need to hit their special requirements in other events such as beam and floor.

“We’re very good on vault and floor. And when we stick on the beam and hit our special require-ments, we’ll be successful,” Guy

said.It takes a special kind of athlete

to compete in gymnastics, she added.

“You not only have to have grace

The Spartans leap out of their group huddle before their meet late last week against Bellingham and Mercer Island. The Spartans have started the season by winning their first two meets, and hope to preserve an unbeaten home streak that stretches back to 2000.

and beauty but strength, flex-ibility and endurance. And you’ve got to be a little crazy because you have to do flips in the air.”

“It’s a hard sport, but very rewarding to coach,” she said.

Loyalty to the Bainbridge program runs strong. Some of the Spartans’ past veter-ans showed up at the last meet, home from college, to share hugs and encourage-ment to their former team-mates before the start of the events.

Others, long gone from competition, are equally sup-portive, Guy said.

“Whether they were in the program in the ’80s or ’90s, they all still come to the meets,” she said.

Those who came out last Friday found plenty to cheer about.

The Spartans continued their winning streak at home with a strong performance Dec. 14 against Bellingham and Mercer Island.

Bainbridge finished first with a team score of 151.50. Bellingham was second with 136.15, while Mercer Island scored 110.25.

The Spartans won with first-place performances by Rice on vault, bars, beam and floor exercise.

Rice finished with the top all-around score of 34.65.

The Spartans had the top four all-around scores.

Miller Shor was second for Bainbridge (31.65); Marielle Shor was third (30.90); and Heidi Franz fin-ished fourth (26.00).

Guy, the Spartans’ head gymnastics coach, said the Bainbridge girls were able to overcome an emotional day where many of the play-ers were saddened by the Newtown shooting tragedy.

“They were really upset, but they were able to focus,” Guy said. “We tried not to talk about it.”

The coach said the team put on “The Lion King” theme music during warm-ups, which helped improve the mood of the Spartans.

The team set goals for each of the events, and came close to finishing how they’d hoped.

“We felt like we had a good meet,” she said. “I was pretty pleased with them.”

In earlier action Dec. 7, the Spartans came out on top in a four-team meet against Holy Names Academy, Shorecrest and

Shorewood.Bainbridge finished

with 151.0 points; Holy Names was second with 129.8; Shorecrest claimed third place with 125.5; and Shorewood finished with 119.95.

Rice earned first place in the vault, beam and floor exercise and was the all-around leader with 33.5 points.

Summers of BHS placed second in the vault, beam and floor exercise, and placed third on the bars to

score 33.0 and place second among the all-arounders.

Fellow Spartan Miller Shor was third in all-around scores with 32.55.

Shor earned first on the bars and tied for second place in the vault. She was also finished third on the beam and in floor exercise.

Quakers prove to be unstoppable

Franklin used a fourth-quarter offensive explosion to stymie the Spartans 65-43 in boys basketball late last week.

Bainbridge didn’t leave out the welcoming mat, however, for the visiting Quakers, currently ranked No. 3 in the state.

The Spartans led 13-11 at the end of the first quarter and trailed by just a point, 27-26, at halftime.

Franklin pulled away with four minutes left in the fourth quarter, and outshot Bainbridge 25-8.

“I was proud of our boys,” said Spartan Coach Scott Orness. “We showed we can compete with the best in the state and this game gave my young team a lot of confi-dence.”

“We always go for two wins in a game — one on the scoreboard and the other win comes by playing hard, smart and together for 32 minutes,” he added. “We battled to the end.”

Franklin’s Patrick Ball led all scorers with 24.

Joey Blacker paced Bainbridge with 19 points.

Fellow Spartans Oskar Dieterich and Blake Swanson poured in 10 points each. Dieterich also pulled down eight rebounds, and Swanson had eight assists.

Kyle Jackson and Greg Shea each contributed two points for Bainbridge. The Spartans are now 1-2 in the Metro League (5-2 overall).

Spartans slam Lions in wrestling

Bainbridge crushed Lakeside 65-12 in wres-tling at a home meet late last week.

The meet kicked off with an empty mat; there was a double forfeit in the 106-pound weight class.

After that, the con-test could not have gone much better for Bainbridge.

The Spartans forfeited in the next weight class (Lakeside’s Hallie Dunham won in the 113) and the last (Daniel Gonzales won in the 285), but BHS won every other match during the meet.

Bainbridge’s Jonathan Gallivan (120-pound) got things rolling for the Spartans by beat-ing Jonathan Castillo of Lakeside with a technical fall, 20-3.

Jack Miller (132) of BHS pinned the Lions’ BJ Dondonyano in 59 sec-onds.

Spartan Dylan Read (145) pinned John Crutcher in 2:36.

Alex Hoover (152) of BHS also won with a pin, taking down Lavron Johnson at the 1-minute mark.

Bryce MacDonald (170) pinned Peter Scott of Lakeside in 2:48.

Weber Coryell (182) also notched a win for Bainbridge by injury default.

Five other Spartans also won via forfeits: Chaney Weaver (126), Christian VanWagner (138), Joaquin Gurza (160), Tyler Moniz

(195) and John Zhang (220).

Franklin outlasts Bainbridge girls

A big second half of scoring by 5’10 senior Qiara Norwood helped Franklin dispatch the Spartans 49-42 late last week in girls basketball.

Bainbridge led 19-18 at the end of the first quarter on 8-of-13 shooting, and Franklin missed all but one of five three-point attempts. Paige Brigham paced Bainbridge with

five points in the first quarter.

Norwood helped Franklin find its footing, however, with 3-of-5 shooting in the second quarter.

The Quakers went into halftime with a 27-24 lead, and built a nine-point advantage by the end of the third quarter.

Although the Spartans outscored Franklin and were able to cut into the Quakers’ lead in the fourth quarter, the visi-tors held on to win in the Metro League matchup.

Grace Kenyon led Bainbridge with 14 points.

Sydney Severson scored 13 points for the Spartans, and Julie Feikes added six. Maddie Ketcheside con-tributed four.

Norwood led all scorers with 18 points.

Franklin also got dou-ble-digit scoring efforts from Jazmin Horne (13) and Raven Burleson (10).

The loss dropped the Spartans to 1-2 in Metro play (4-3 overall).

Bainbridge returns to the island Friday to face Eastside Catholic.

Spartans split in Metro match

Blanchet benefited by Bainbridge blanks in its lightest weight classes as the Braves beat the Spartans 39-31 in Metro League wrestling Tuesday.

Bainbridge bounced back big time in the dual meet to win against

Chief Sealth, 60-12.Blanchet notched two

forfeit victories in the 106-pound and 113-pound classes, with Jack Robel and Gabe Briggs walking away with the wins.

A double forfeit fol-lowed in the 120-class, and the Spartans got on the points board when Jonathan Gallivan (126) of BHS won in a 7-3 decision over Jacob O’Donnell.

Blanchet’s Jesse Marek (132) followed with pin of BHS’ Jack Miller in 3:09.

Noah Traynor (138) of Blanchet then pinned Christian VanWagner in 5:55.

Dylan Read (145) answered for Bainbridge and won with a pin in 1:29 against David Gats.

Fellow Spartan Alex Hoover (152) followed with a major decision 10-1 victory over Jack Auter.

Blaine’s Isaac Traynor (160) won in an 11-6 decision against Joaquin Gurza, and Joe Osborne (170) of the Braves won with a pin against Sam Wysong in 1:34.

The Spartans rallied with three wins by pin in three of the heaviest classes.

Weber Coryell (182) of Bainbridge took Jack Sendelbach to the mat in 1:53.

Tyler Moniz (195) won with a pin even faster, and pinned Lidke Riley in 38 seconds.

Moving things along even quicker, Billy Schnase of Bainbridge (220) pinned Frankie Vargas in 27 seconds.

In the final match, Blanchet heavyweight Peter Golgert (285) won with a pin against John Zhang in 1:45.

In the second round against Chief Sealth, Bainbridge outmanned their Metro competitors 60-12.

Bainbridge and Chief Sealth had a double forfeit in the 106- and 113-classes.

The Spartans then took down their Metro League opponents with a number of hard-fought pins.

Jack Miller (132) of BHS pinned Logan Aikas in 1:00, and Christian VanWagner (138) also won with a 1-minute pin, over Makayla Dorn.

Alex Hoover (152) pinned Victor Nicio in 30 seconds.

Joaquin Gurza (160) faced Rumaldo Hernandez of Chief Sealth, finishing with a pin in 1:58.

Weber Coryell (182) pinned Jorge Cordona in 2:20.

Tyler Moniz (195) bat-tled Daron Camacho for 4:50 before ending with a victory pin.

Four Spartans won by forfeits: Jonathan Gallivan (120), Cheney Weaver (126), Dylan Read (145) and Sam Wysong (170).

The Spartans’ only two losses came in the 220-, where Mike Lakisa pinned Billy Schnase of BHS in 1:30; and in the 285-, with Anthony Millard picking up a win by forfeit.

JV Spartans comeback in second half

The Spartans junior var-sity girls basketball team battled back from a four-point halftime deficit to upend Franklin 48-41 late last week.

Bainbridge trailed 17-13 after two quarters, but outscored the Quakers 35-24 in the second half.

Rosie Brown led the Spartans with 17 points, 19 rebounds and three blocks.

Fellow Spartan Kayla Buchmeier contributed 12 points and 12 boards, while Sydney Gibbs added nine points and three steals.

Paulina Bredy scored seven points and pulled down eight rebounds for BHS.

The JV team will play Rainier Beach in a road game Wednesday, Dec. 19.

R. Beach ballers pick up home win

The big guns of Rainier Beach shelled the Spartans Tuesday and the Vikings ran away with a 86-36 win in Metro League boys basketball.

Rainier Beach jumped to a 16-8 lead after the first quarter on their home court and never looked back.

Bainbridge had 35 turnovers, gave up 30 transition points and 25 offensive rebounds.

“I felt our youth really showed through,” said Spartans Coach Scott Orness.

“I feel like we played the name across their jersey and we didn’t stick to our philosophy on both offense and defense,” he explained. “I was disap-pointed in our perfor-mance, but this is a smart group of young men and I know we will learn from this experience.”

Shaqquan Aaron paced the Vikings with 25 points, while teammates Naim Ladd and Marquis Davis added 14 and 13 points respectively.

The Spartans’ Oskar Dieterich had 15 rebounds to go along with his 17 points. Joey Blacker added 15 points for BHS.

Susan Thompson, proud mother of two sons, and loving mother, teacher and mentor to countless others through her school, Bainbridge Dance Center, passed away gently on the night of Saturday December 1st. Through her steadfast devotion as a teacher and business owner, Bainbridge Dance Center has flourished as a place dedicated to

excellent instruction in classical ballet, modern, tap and jazz, but also as an institution dedicated to the self esteem and self respect of all who attend class there. Raised in Delaware, Ohio, Susan was the daughter of a college music professor and an elementary school teacher, who instilled in her and her sister a deep love for the arts. Before moving to Bainbridge Island with her family in 1986, she attended Mt. Holyoke College, danced professionally with Dance Circle of Boston, the New York / Dance Ensemble and Southwest Ballet, where she was also company manager. Susan was a fierce lover and advocate of animals, donating to animal rescue organizations and always stopping the car if an animal seemed out of place or hurt; she had a life long love of cats. Susan was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in early 2008, and chose to pursue chemotherapy. She went into remission several times over the subsequent four and a half years, and frequently continued to work while she was in treatment. She also enthusiastically traveled during this time, often to see her family, taking multiple trips to New York, Boston, Southern California, and a particularly memorable trip to Italy. Susan’s love of craft, her compassion and commitment to fostering not only talent, but intelligence and creativity, has been, and continues to be, a force for good in the lives of many young women and men. Bainbridge Dance Center, under the leadership of BryAnn Bingham, will honor Susan’s legacy by continuing forward with its ethos of excellence and integrity. Susan is survived by her loving sister, Kay Thompson, her two proud sons, Quinlan and Wesley Corbett, and the many other relatives, friends, students, and colleagues who had the privilege of knowing her. There will be a public memorial service and tribute at Bainbridge Performing Arts on Sunday, January 6th at 1 pm. Donations in her honor can be made to one of the following organizations: • West Sound Wildlife Shelter, 7501 NE Dolphin Drive

Roger Miller, a faithful and loving husband, father and grandfather, died at home on Bainbridge Island, WA at the age of 87 on December 9th, 2012. He was born August 30th, 1925, the third of four sons of Dena Sturman Miller and Clinton Leslie Miller, in Coeur d’Alene, ID where

he was raised. Upon graduating from Coeur d’Alene High School in 1943, Roger joined the Navy V-5 Pilot program, completed flight training in December 1945 and then served on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Leyte, flying the last prop-driven fighters. He joined a Naval Reserve Fighter Squadron while attending the University of Washington. In 1952, he left the Reserve about the same time that he earned his BS in Mining Engineering. On September 9th, 1950, he married Carolyn Rae Fritz in Bremerton, WA. They were married for 62 years, raising five sons and following his career from coast to coast and back. He began his mining career 22 miles up a trail, by horse, in the North Cascades outside Omak, WA. Later they moved to Gouverneur, NY; to a mine camp above Healdsburg, CA; then to Memphis, TN where he was Vice President/Production at Buckman Laboratories. In 1965 they moved to Burlington, VT and later Norwich, VT where he worked the last 25 years of his career as president of Windsor Minerals, a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary that made baby powder and industrial talc products. There, the family was active in the Church of Christ at Dartmouth College for more than 20 years. He was president of the Associated Industries of Vermont from 1982-1984 and brought his unique perspective as an industrialist and an outdoorsman to the four terms he served on Vermont’s statewide Land Use Board from 1978 through 1990. Roger and Carolyn retired to Bainbridge Island, WA in 1990, where Roger maintained a career of fixing, restoring, and building: idiosyncratic sailing scows, traditional dories and cedar canoes; Model A Fords; Datsun roadsters, and John Deere tractors. When skiing, back-packing, hunting, fishing and sailing became too physically demanding, he found new passions. He reconstructed the Fritz family Clallam County homestead, traveled in Europe, and at the end of his life built table tops of Sequoia salvaged from the homestead. For Roger, there was always a project and a multitude of passions. He is survived by Carolyn Miller, sons Matthew (fiancée, Mia) of Portland, OR; Todd (Deanna) of Boise, ID; Bradford (Rebecca) of Portland, OR; Kirk (Donna) of Helena, MT; and Dean (Tracie) of Stony Brook, NY; and 12 grandchildren, his younger brother Phillip Miller (Irene) of Dewey, AZ, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers Clinton Miller and Donald Miller. A celebration of his life will be held at Rolling Bay Presbyterian at 11:00AM on December 29th, 2012. The family will receive friends during a reception in the church’s fellowship hall following the service. Memorial gifts may be made to the charity of your choice or to the landscaping and grounds maintenance at the church where he pondered theology and faith for the last 20 years: Rolling Bay Presbyterian (P.O. Box 131 Rolling Bay, WA 98061)

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE


Bainbridge Island may have a new onramp to the information superhighway.

City officials will soon consider providing islanders access to the Internet, mak-ing the city a potential new provider on the island.

Bainbridge Island has an opportunity to tap into Internet service for its resi-dents — and to add a new utility under its purview — through fiber optic cable.

“I believe (fiber optic Internet) is something the city council should look at in the next year,” said Councilman Steve Bonkowski.

Currently, Internet access is sold to customers by private, for-profit providers. Those providers sell access along technology such as cable lines, or even over telephone lines. Fiber optic cable — known for the high speed it can transmit mas-sive amounts of information

— will provide a new path-way for islanders to access the World Wide Web.

Another bonus about fiber optic cable: It’s already here.

The Kitsap Public Utility District has already installed what are known as “trunk lines” of fiber optic cable down main island arteries, including along Highway 305. These trunk lines are what city hall, the Bainbridge Island School District and the city’s police department use to access the Internet.

The trunk lines can also branch off to offer greater service to island neighbor-hoods.

By law, however, KPUD can only provide the lines and sell access to the lines to retailers at wholesale cost.

In other words, KPUD can build the road to travel on, but they can’t sell the taxi service to travel on it.

A third party is needed between KPUD and cus-tomers to act as a retailer, and that’s where the city of

Bainbridge Island may step in.

The city council dis-cussed the possibility of adding a new utility to provide residents access to the Internet at a recent council meeting.

The possibility raised a few eyebrows across the dais.

“We could potentially become a retail provider and this could be a revenue for that particular utility,” Mayor Debbi Lester said at the meeting.

The options for future fiber optic Internet on the island are diverse. Neighborhoods could install fiber optic lines to homes and connect those cables to the trunk lines; forming their own utility. Or the city could

invest in new lines of its own and then sell access.

Bonkowski said he views the Internet as a significant factor in eco-nomic develop-ment for the island, and fiber optics is worth explor-

ing.“Having Internet in the

core area downtown, or Copper Top and so on, would facilitate more busi-nesses viewing Bainbridge as a place to do work,” Bonkowski said.

“These days you need to have that kind of capability to work with the rest of the world … it’s kind of the wave

of the future and we need take a hard look at it,” he said.

Bonkowski would like the council to begin talks on the topic at its annual retreat in January.

Ever since joining the council earlier this year, Bonkowski has promoted expanding telecommunica-tions on the island, such as cell service.

The city’s attorney, Will Patton, was asked to brief the council on the topic at its Nov. 14 meeting. Other Washington cities, such as Edmonds, have invested in fiber optic cable for local Internet access.

In short, Patton told the council that the city legally has the ability to offer tele-communications services as a utility.

“The city of Bainbridge Island could provide the retail service and contract through KPUD to provide the connections,” Patton said.

Patton added that for such an endeavor, the city would have to invest money up front, with the idea that the service could end up paying for itself. Such an investment could also be bonded.

Bonkowski said that such an investment is in line with city efforts to invest in eco-nomic development.

“This would be the city paying for infrastructure that supports economic growth,” Bonkowski said. “And that is the point of fiber optic and cell phone (service) — it would support that infra-structure to allow better development on our island.”

By Jeff TolmanKitsap Week

L ike so many North Kitsap residents, we sent our check

to Bellringer, the extraor-dinary holiday program started in 1946 by Frank and Mabel Raab and administered by the Poulsbo Noon Lions. Last year, $33,061 was raised, providing 102 Christmas dinners for local families and helping more than 300 local people in need.

As I put the check in the mail I was reminded of a great gift I was given last holiday season — Ted Gup’s remarkable book, “A Secret Gift.” Gup, a former reporter for The Washington Post, was given a suitcase full of memorabilia from his grandmother. Opening the suitcase some months later, he found a roll of let-ters wrapped around an ad from the Dec. 17, 1933 Canton Repository.

The ad indicated the writer knew of the dire economic times families were experiencing and that he pledged to help 50 to 75 families during the holiday season. Anyone seeking such assistance should write B. Virdot, General Delivery, Canton, Ohio. The requests and gifts would be kept confi-dential.

Gup had never heard the name “B. Virdot” and had no idea why the let-ters were in the suitcase. Opening the letters, his journey of discovery began.

Virdot initially intended $750 to assist 75 needy families during this holi-day season in the depth

of the Great Depression. “Virdot” received so many requests that he revised the plan and gave 150 families $5 toward their holiday cheer. The letters wrapped around the ad were the 150 recipients of the gifts. “B. Virdot” was Gup’s grandfather, Sam Stone.

The author commenced research on his grandfa-ther and the families who

received the gift. Did it impact their lives? What inspired them to request the gift? Were any of the recipients still living? Through his research, we learn much about the Depression: The hard-working men and women who had no place to work. The businessman stand-ing at the bank’s front door to get his employees’ Christmas bonuses only

to find the bank closed, his money gone. The wife who writes for a gift describing her husband in glow-ing words and how difficult it is for him not to provide for his family. At the same time, unbeknownst to his spouse, her husband writing about what an extraordinary family he had and how they deserve a good Christmas that he can not provide. The phy-sician who delivered hun-dreds of babies with no expectation of compensa-tion. The children scour-ing along the railroad tracks for lumps of coal the wind may have blown off the coal car, to provide needed heat.

“A Secret Gift” is a holiday journey we should all take to remind us of our blessings and good fortune. To understand that so many good, hard-working folks are in need this season.

A dear friend of mine recently told the story of how, as a young boy, he asked his grandmother if she believed in Santa Claus. She told him about the Christmas her Dad had drank away all the family’s money, how there was nothing left for pres-ents. On Christmas morn-ing there was a knock on the door. No one was visible as the door opened. A basket of food had been placed on the top step. Does she believe in Santa Claus? Absolutely.

To a lesser scale, last Christmas we had a family miscommunication. Our traditional Christmas-morning cinnamon rolls

had not been purchased. After decades, the tradi-

tion would be broken. At 7 a.m. there

was a knock on our door. One of our friends had heard on Christmas Eve of

our error. There he was, at the door, with

a pan of cinnamon rolls he had made for us. Our tra-dition would continue. Do I believe in Santa Claus? You bet.

To paraphrase the great philosopher Pogo, “I have met Santa Claus and he

is us.”Please help someone

struggling this season as best you can. Through Bellringer or a church or service club. Such sharing is the best thing we can do for them. And ourselves. Just ask B. Virdot.

Happy holidays.— Jeff Tolman has prac-

ticed law in Poulsbo for more than 30 years. He is a periodic contributor to the North Kitsap Herald.

Gluten Free Turkey Bacon Turnover with Balsamic Onion Jam

Well, today turned out to be a great day.

The doorbell rang and I had an unexpected visitor. When I opened the door I was so glad to see him.

Big hugs followed with, “I’m hungry. What do you have to eat?”

I had to laugh because he knows me so well.

I love nothing more

than standing around the kitchen baking or cook-ing something deliciously gluten-free, while catching up with friends. So, thank goodness, I had a few ingredients in the refrig-erator to whip something up: gluten-free savory sea-soned dough, roasted tur-

key, bacon and balsamic sweet onion jam.

I said to him, “How about a Savory Meaty Turkey Bacon Turnover?”

The reply came out quicker than I could turn on the oven. “Yes, please!”

So we chatted while I rolled out the dough on my pastry board.

InstructionsPre-heat the oven to 400

degrees. Use a GF floured rolling

pin to roll the dough out to approximately 1/4 inch.

I used a ruffled edge pastry cutter to cut the dough into a square.

The size depends on the appetite of the guest.

Place the GF dough on a parchment paper and on

a baking sheet.Begin to fill the one

side of the dough with the turkey (you could use chicken too), top with the balsamic onion jam.

Be sure to leave approx-imately 3/4 to 1 inch around the sides to allow for sealing.

Add the cooked, crum-bled bacon.

Make an egg wash and brush it around the inside edge of the dough.

Gently fold the empty side of the dough over the ingredients and press lightly with a fork to seal the edges.

Add a little milk or cream to the egg which will allow for the brown-ing.

Sprinkle the top with Matiz Smoked Sea Salt.

Bake for 15-20 minutes.Keep and eye on it and

turn the pan for even browning.

Serve with fresh home-made guacamole seasoned with chili peppers for an extra kick to compliment the sweet onion jam.

Speaking of the sweet onion jam, I use Braswell’s and it is made with Balsamic and Sweet Vidalia Onions. It is an amazing jam to have in your kitchen. It is the perfect answer to give just about anything a per-fectly savory sweet flavor on sandwiches, burgers, gluten-free crackers and cheese. Besides, it comes in the beautiful European reusable glass. This makes a great hostess gift paired with a variety of

cheeses, hearty gluten-free crackers and wine. I love, love, love Braswell’s!

Let’s get down to the gluten-free dough.

The Maninis Gluten Free Multiuso flour is my favorite gluten-free flour mix that I must always have in my gluten-free kitchen!

2 1/4 cups Maninis Gluten Free Multiuso Flour + a little extra for kneading

1/2 cup cold butter, unsalted or Earth Balance Non-Dairy Soy Free GF

1/2 cup palm shorten-ing

1/2 tsp apple cider vin-egar

1/4 cup ice cold water 1 tsp thyme 1 tsp Italian seasoning 1 tsp celery seed2 pinches of sea saltMix all of the ingredi-

ents together in the food processor.

Place the dough on a floured pastry board.

Knead the dough into a disc shape.

Place the dough into a self sealing bag and chill for at least 1 hour.

You can make so many different things with this dough. Make it savory or sweet. Add some imagi-nation and your favorite ingredients to the dough or inside as a filling.

So good to see my handsome young friend. I especially loved the look on his face when he took the first bite!

Priceless ...Salud!

If you want to add a bit of flair to an upcoming meal, try incorporat-

ing wine as an ingredient.Cooking with wine

might sound exotic, but many chefs find ways to work wine into their reci-pes to add harmony and flair to a dish.

This week and next, we will take a look at how to easily add wine into your cooking, thanks to tips from two of Washington’s most wine-focused chefs. Today, we focus on white wine. Next week, we will look at how to use red wines in the kitchen.

The first tip: Never cook with a wine you wouldn’t drink. Cooking with bad wine is like add-ing stale spices or moldy vegetables. It will not taste good, even if you’re really hungry. The wine should be opened and checked

for flaws before it is added as an ingredient.

Additionally, consider serving the same wine you’re cooking with at the table. It should make for a superb pairing.

John Sarich, long-time culinary director and ambassador for Chateau Ste. Michelle in Woodinville, says white wine is a versatile ingre-dient. For a rich cream sauce, he will reach for Chardonnay or Viognier, wines that are a bit softer in acidity. For Asian dish-es, he looks to incorporate high-acid varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling.

One of his favorite

easy-to-make dishes is to sprinkle scallops with sea salt and sear them in a pan with just a bit of butter. Once they are browned on both sides, remove the

scallops and add a cup of Chardonnay or Viognier, a bit of tarragon, Dijon mustard and chopped shallots to the browned butter. He might also add a bit of cream. Stir and reduce until you have a cream sauce to pour over the shallots.

“At the end, it always needs a bit of acid,” Sarich said. “So a squeeze of lemon over the dish just brightens up all the fla-vors.”

Frank Magaña, a chef based in Washington’s Yakima Valley, said he incorporates wine into his cooking about 80 percent of the time.

He loves using white wine to build a sauce. For example, he will brown chicken, then while the pan is still hot, he will deglaze the pan with white wine. He’ll then add

onions and garlic.“That’s the base of

your sauce,” he said. “It binds all of your flavors together.”

Magaña will do the same thing when caramel-izing onions. He will add a splash of dry white wine to pick up all the sugars left in the pan.

For shellfish, Magaña likes a high-acid dry wine.

“With the minerality of the shellfish, it goes really well,” he said.

He’ll often use a dry white wine as the base for a sauce to go with barbe-cued oysters.

A popular myth in some kitchens is that all alcohol “cooks out” of wines or spirits used in a recipe. This is not quite true. Magaña says about half the alcohol in a wine will dissipate during the cook-ing process — and more,

depending on how long you cook the sauce.

Both chefs also enjoy using wine to make salad dressing.

One of Magaña’s go-to recipes for salad dressing is a half-cup of dry white wine, three-quarters of a cup of olive oil, a tablespoon of dried Dijon mustard powder and two tablespoons of dried herbs (thyme, rosemary and parsley, for example). If using dried herbs, make it a half-tablespoon. Then, add a half-tablespoon of white vinegar (balsamic, if you have it). All of this is mixed together in an empty olive oil bottle and served.

It takes years to mas-ter the techniques of yoga, but there are

some short, easy to learn practices that almost any-one can do in just a few minutes. The catch is you have to do them regularly. It’s just that simple. I think you’ll find them transfor-mational.

n Subject: Being uptight.

n Practice: Take a chest breath and, after a slight pause, release. Take an upper belly breath (right

below the ribs). Hold … and release. Take a lower belly breath, pause and lift your toes, exhale and release the toes.

n Theory: When you’re under stress, you uncon-sciously pull your chest, solar plexus, lower belly and perineum in and up.

You also grip the floor with your toes. This prac-tice tells the body and the mind to relax.

n Comment: Most of us are in low-grade “flight or fight” all the time, to the great detriment of our health. Do this when you notice that you need a break.

n Note: “When aware-ness comes, everything begins to change.”

PAWS Pet AdoptionIn the last ten years, PAWS of Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap has found loving homes for more than 3,500 cats and kittens. Our 37-year-old nonprofit organization relies on individual donors and receives no government support.

Many PAWS cats stay temporarily in foster homes where we assess their personalities in order to match them up with the perfect family. We are indebted to our many foster families for their wonderful work.

Prior to adoption, PAWS cats and kittens are spayed or neutered, cleared for feline leukemia and FIV, given initial vaccinations, treated for worms, ear mites, and fleas, and implanted with microchip identification.

The adoption fee is $150 per kitten, $110 per adult cat (1-5 years old), $50 per cat 6 years or older. Coupons for $65 off adult cat adoptions are available for anyone over 65. Included in the adoption package is a certif-icate for a free vet exam. For more information on Adoption Policies, visit

www.NorthKitsapPAWS.org

PAWS of BI/NK is ExpandingVisit our website to learn more about our upcoming expansion. In early 2013, we’ll open the doors of our new facility in Kingston as well as our new facility in Lynwood Center on Bainbridge. Thanks to Windermere Real Estate, these locations will give us nearly six times the space of our current adoption facility, and will result in hundreds more animals

being rescued each year. If you’ve ever considered helping PAWS of BI/NK financially, PLEASE do so now. Operating expenses are covered, but outfitting these spaces is costly. Even a small donation helps – how about a gift donation in honor of a family member (we’ll send a card)? Thank You!
