bainbridge island review, december 27, 2013

BY LUCIANO MARANOBainbridge Island Review

The tiny practice violins, made of wood and paper, sat on display as if they were fragile relics of a bygone era, as the aspiring young musicians stepped up on the stage.

One by one, they said goodbye to the delicate ves-sels that had carried them so far. It was time to receive the real thing.

Each of the children were given a brand-new violin, shiny and perfect, sized just right for the small and eager arms for which they were bound.

The recent presentation was due to the work of a col-lective effort music education partnership between the Suquamish Tribal Council, the Island Music Guild and the Kids In Concert program. During a recent concert event, the program directors presented 14 children from the tribe with actual violins after having trained them for several weeks with mock instruments.

“Three years ago my daughter, Michelle, and I started a program called Kids In Concert,” explained island resi-dent and program co-founder Roy Naden.

“We wanted to try and assist those who were not given some of the opportunities that others were,” he said. “That doesn’t apply much to most of the kids on Bainbridge Island, but for those just across the bridge in the Suquamish Tribe, it may.”

Based on the El Sistema music education program originating in Venezuela, Kids In Concert began working with tribal council leaders and educators to select 14 children from 4 to 11, have them transport-ed three times a week to a practice space provided by the Island Music Guild, and teach them how to play

the violin. Why start with the violin?“The violin is kind of the founda-

tion of the orchestra,” explained Michelle Naden, Kids In Concert director.

BY BRIAN KELLYBainbridge Island Review

The final meeting for two departing Bainbridge Island fire commissioners ended with bitter accusations that the chairman of the fire board was trying to sabotage attempts to forge a new contract with the Bainbridge Island Ambulance Association.

The Bainbridge Island Fire Department has contracted with the non-profit Bainbridge Island Ambulance Association since 1999 for basic life support transportation services, and talk of a new contract has dragged on for more than a year.

Some, however, are worried that the delay in finalizing a contract is because Bainbridge Island Fire Board Chairman Dan Morrow does not support a new agreement, and wants to open the contract up for bid by for-profit ambulance companies from off-island.

The main concern is that a for-profit competitor will undercut the Bainbridge Island Ambulance Association’s rates to obtain the contract with the fire department, and then raise rates later.

Talk turns testyAt the Bainbridge

fire board’s last meet-ing of the year, outgoing Commissioner Paul Bang-Knudsen accused Morrow — who was appointed to the board in 2012 — of trying to “railroad” the BIAA.

Bang-Knudsen recalled how he appointed Morrow to the board last year with the expectation that he would do a fair job. That has not been the case, he said.

“This board has voted 3-2 earlier this year to continue the contract. However, the chair has used department resources and his title as chair to continue this one-man attack against this part-ner of the district.

“I’m tired of it. It’s a delay tactic,” Bang-Knudsen said.

Up for bidsAt the center of the dis-

pute is Morrow’s attempts to pursue a “request for propos-als,” or RFP, for companies that would handle transport services.

Bang-Knudsen noted the fire board has consistently supported a new contract with the BIAA, and it appeared that Morrow was stalling the completion of the contract until 2014, when a new majority will take over the board of fire commis-sioners.

“I don’t think it’s fair for one commissioner to use his chairdom ... to continue to delay this process. In the last meeting, he said he’s not going to vote for this con-tract no matter what,” Bang-Knudsen said. “He said he is only going to do an RFP.”

Commissioners have voted twice to continue the relationship with the

Motor home burns on highway

A Bainbridge Island man was injured and a 21-foot motor home destroyed by fire after the man tried to restart his stalled vehicle by pouring gas into the engine’s car-buretor.

The Washington State Patrol said the attempt to restart the 1976 Jambo motor home set it ablaze.

The motor home had been disabled at the Highway 3/Highway 303 interchange in Silverdale just before 8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 22.

The motor home was a total loss, and was impounded by Silverdale Towing after the fire was extinguished.

The driver, Rodney James Taylor, 43, of Bainbridge Island, was treated at the scene by an aid crew.

City bridge will reopen

The Waterfront Park footbridge should be reopened by late January.

According to the Bainbridge Island Public Works Department, repairs began last week on the pedestrian bridge that links Waterfront trail to the ferry’s drive-on entrance and Harborview Drive.

While the bridge has been closed since September due to safety concerns, city officials anticipate reopening access by late January.

During the past few months, the city received approval for repairs from the Army Corps of Engineers and the state Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The city hired Sealevel Bulkhead Builders, Inc. to complete the repairs.

Residents can expect construction from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, though construction crews may work as late as 10 p.m. In an effort to complete the project as soon as pos-sible, the city has autho-rized the company to work during low tides.

Despite this, public works officials said the work complies with the city’s noise ordinance since the project is located in a commercial, mixed-use zone and is 300 feet away from resi-dential properties.

Follow-up to film coming

Organizers of the recent showing of the film “Cracking the Codes: The System of Racial Inequity” are hosting a series of four gatherings in the coming weeks.

Using videos, articles, exercises and discussions, participants will explore racism, its impacts and our role helping to undo it. The group will look at types of racism, racial identity, stereotypes, white privilege, institu-tional racism and how we can act to undo racism.

Everyone is welcome. There is a $20 suggested donation for the series.

The gatherings will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on alternate Thursdays; Jan. 23, Feb. 6, Feb. 20 and March 6.

The meetings will be held at Eagle Harbor Congregational Church and will be facilitated by Charlotte Rovelstad, Peggi Erickson and Sharon Negri.

For more information, call Peggi Erickson at 206-842-2232.

Park officials to take oath

Bainbridge parks offi-cials will meet next week to administer the oath of office to newly elected commissioners.

The board for the Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District will also approve new

park board officers for 2014, and also vote on committee members.

The parks board will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 2 at Strawberry Hill Center, 7666 NE High School Road.

Crash victim still in hospital

After spending days in Harborview Medical Center’s intensive care unit, Allan Wodenscheck was in satisfactory condi-tion and moved onto a different floor.

Wodenscheck, 24, was airlifted to Harborview in Seattle Dec. 16 after a head-on collision with a suspected drunken driver near the entrance of Agate Pass Bridge in Suquamish. Wodenscheck had a broken leg, shat-tered femur, broken ankle, and broken collar bone.

As of Dec. 23, Wodenscheck, a Bremerton resident, is expected to make a com-plete or close-to-com-plete recovery, according to his mother, Shelly Wodenscheck.

“We’re taking it one day at a time,” she said. “Thanking God he made it through it.”

Wodenscheck is expected home as soon as he can be more mobile under his own power, she said. He will use a wheel-chair when he gets home, she said.

Meanwhile, the driver of the other vehicle, Andrew Page Smith, 32, of Poulsbo, has been charged with felony vehicular assault. He was booked into Kitsap County Jail after the crash and bail was set at $30,000, but he has since

been released. He is due in court Dec. 31.

Wodenscheck was on his way to work at AGS Stainless Inc. on Bainbridge Island when the crash occurred. Everyone at work is con-cerned about him, AGS Stainless owner Gary Giffin said.

“He’s a great guy, a val-ued employee,” Giffin said of Wodenscheck. “[We’re] anxious for him to come back to work.”

Messages were posted on AGS Stainless’ Facebook page in support of Wodenscheck. Giffin said AGS employees have visited him at Harborview.

Giffin said it’s “terrible” that Smith was allegedly drunk. The suspected DUI added “insult to injury right there.”

Wodenscheck’s cowork-ers are thinking of him and his job is waiting for him. Wodenscheck also has the support of his fiancée, who has been staying with him at Harborview. Wodenscheck proposed on Thanksgiving, accord-ing to his mother.

The family is trying to figure out how they will deal with the medical bills once they receive them.

For now, Shelly Wodenscheck and the family are just trying to be encouraging, she said.

Foundation seeks nominees

Kitsap Community Foundation is accepting nominations for three dis-tinguished philanthropy awards that will be made to outstanding individu-als and businesses at the Kitsap County Celebration of Philanthropy.

Kol Medina, executive director at the foundation, is asking for the public’s assistance in finding the most deserving support-ers of philanthropy in Kitsap County.

“We aren’t always aware of the most deserving individuals and business-es and are appreciative of the public’s help in iden-tifying worthy nominees,” Medina said.

The foundation has been giving the awards annu-ally at the Celebration of Philanthropy since 2001.

“The foundation is honored to annually rec-ognize individuals and businesses who give so much to our community,” Medina said.

This year, the Kitsap County Celebration of Philanthropy will be held May 16 at the Kitsap Convention Center in Bremerton. The award winners will be announced and the

awards presented there.Kitsap Community

Foundation is currently accepting nominations for the following three awards:

The Spirit of Philanthropy Award, which honors an indi-vidual, couple or family who exhibit a deep com-mitment and heartfelt dedication to philan-thropy. Nominees should have a proven record of exceptional generosity who, through direct finan-cial support and/or direct involvement, demonstrate outstanding civic and charitable responsibility and whose generosity and involvement encour-ages others to take phil-anthropic leadership roles in the community.

The Outstanding Citizen Award, which honors a Kitsap County resident with a proven history of giving gener-ously of his or her time to local nonprofit organiza-tions or directly to people in need or activities that benefit the community. In short, this award honors an outstanding volunteer. The volunteer work must have occurred in Kitsap County.

Business Making a Difference Award, which honors a for-profit busi-ness in Kitsap County that has a proven track record of making a positive dif-ference in the community. The business that receives this award must be a Kitsap-based business.

Nominations will be accepted until Jan. 15.

ambulance association, he said.The BIAA has a storied past

on Bainbridge, with a history of service to the community that goes back many decades. Bang-Knudsen, as well as BIAA officials, said the organization shouldn’t be viewed as a vendor under contract to the fire department, but a proven partner in emergency services.

The volunteer model used by the BIAA is the appropriate one for the fire department, Bang-Knudsen said.

“This nonprofit is supported by the community very deeply,” he said.

new terms in contractOfficials from the BIAA told the

commissioners that the nonprofit had bent over backwards to accom-modate the new terms that have been added to the proposed agree-ment. Those include a requirement to have a fully staffed basic life sup-port unit, including an ambulance driver and EMT, at the fire depart-ment’s Station 21 within 15 minutes of dispatch.

The new contract also includes punitive damages that would be paid by the BIAA to the fire district if the ambulance association fails to meet the required response rates.

BIAA officials noted they had “philosophical and legal issues”

they were willing to ignore in the new contract in order to keep the relationship intact.

“Our sole reason for existing is supporting the fire department,” said Dr. Gregory Keyes, a member of the BIAA board.

“We do not see ourselves as a vendor for services,” he said. “We look at ourselves as a partner.”

He drew a distinction between what the nonprofit BIAA would do, and what a for-profit ambulance company.

“Our job is to support the com-munity and to support you, and that’s our primary motivation. That’s all we’ve ever done and that’s all we will ever do,” he said.

Keyes said the nonprofit could provide better services at a better cost than an outside entity. And he also said the association had clearly gotten the message from the fire department that response times need to improve so patients are not waiting too long for transportation to the hospital.

“We’ve heard things loud and clear that we need to be there within 15 minutes of tone-out,” Keyes said.

As of Jan. 1, he said, the associa-tion will have full-time ambulance drivers for 12 hours each day, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., every day of the week, “that are ready to go at a moment’s notice.”

When the first crew goes out, full-time staffers will come in to replace them, he said.

Keyes noted the fire department was demanding increased service at a lower cost. The BIAA has a goal of meeting the new response rates fully by June, but officials said it will take some time to hire more employees to meet the demand.

“We know we’re not the only option,” Keyes told fire commis-sioners.

“We want to be the best option. And we want you to be totally con-vinced that we’re the best option. It’s our commitment to work in that direction,” he said.

no turning backBut Keyes also said that without

its partnership with the Bainbridge department, the ambulance asso-ciation would cease to exist.

“It’s, in a sense, a one-way street. If the ambulance association goes away, it will not come back,” Keyes said.

Morrow, however, repeatedly questioned how he could justify the BIAA as being the best service providers if he were asked.

Keyes noted the nonprofit’s 60 years of quality service on Bainbridge. And he added that the association recently reviewed the number of complaints, formal or informal, from patients over the past five years.

They found none, he said.“I received one,” Morrow quick-

ly said.“It didn’t go as far as getting to

us,” Keyes responded.

The question of transport rates also came up. The BIAA charges $550, an increase from its earlier rate of $400.

“Our costs have to reflect what we pay day in and day out,” Keyes explained, “and replacing equip-ment every two to three years.”

A new ambulance costs any-where between $125,000 to $145,000, he added.

“And that cost is going up,” Keyes said.

Some on the commission point-ed out that for-profit companies charge more, and said BIAA rates were not out of line.

“Their rates are competitive,” said Commissioner Maureen Halligan, who is also leaving the board at the end of 2013. “I think any of us would say that.”

She said she was hesitant to approve a contract that would set up the BIAA for failure.

bottom-line questionsMorrow, however, said the

association had been “incredibly profitable.”

In response, Keyes said the nonprofit has been saving money for decades in hopes of paying for a facility.

“We’ve been incredibly frugal for over 20 years,” Keyes said.

The talk of rates prompted Bang-Knudsen to again loudly vent at Morrow.

“This is not a vending machine we get to swap out at the end of the

day,” he said.“I too have seen their financial

reports. They are not socking away too much money. Do you know how much land and equipment and vehicles cost? You have to be pru-dent and frugal,” he said.

“Why are you even attacking this gentleman when you are not going to vote for it, no matter what?” Bang-Knudsen asked.

“I object to the personal attack. We disagree,” Morrow said.

“It’s not a personal attack, it’s a fact. You’ve got an ax to grind for some reason,” Bang-Knudsen said.

Despite their concerns over the contract, BIAA officials said they were ready to sign off on the contract. They suggested slight revisions, and offered the commis-sioners a slightly revised contract that contained “99 percent” of what the fire department had sought.

decision put offBut with commissioners seeing

the revised contract for the first time at their Dec. 18 meeting, the board voted to table the contract until the new year.

Bang-Knudsen declared it a huge victory for Morrow. He called the punitive damages in the con-tract “ridiculous” and the terms of the agreement “insane.”

He also said he hoped the new fire board would keep the partner-ship in place.

“Why throw away something we’ve been investing in?” he asked.

In responseThere’s a right way to burn wood at homeTo the editor:

It was important to hear about wood burning pollution in the Nov. 15th Review.

Indeed, it is a problem, but there are some strong moral questions involved as well, and nothing in life is simple once you go below the surface. Do we pollute the air locally and harm neighbors, or at a distance and harm people living further away from us.

The problem is that many people do not realize how polluting the gen-

eration of electricity is. When the writer suggests small space heaters, I would like to say that most of those are electric. Fifty percent or more of our electricity, delivered by Puget Sound Energy is generated by burn-ing coal, mostly at Colstrip, Montana. It is one of the dirtiest power plants in the U.S. And people to the east of Montana are receiving the mercury, chromates, sulfur oxides, radioac-tive uranium and other contaminates which are in coal. So do we burn wood locally and harm people with respiration problems, or hurt people, mostly children, to the east by expos-ing them to the worst of neurotoxins, mercury. Hard choice.

Then there is the efficiency prob-lem.

With generation and transmis-sion losses, we get only 19 percent of the energy that was in that coal in Montana. With an EPA-approved wood stove we can get 75 percen-tor more of the energy that is in the wood. So by burning wood we get more heat with less carbon dioxide production (think global warming).

And, if the trees are down, as they are on my property, the wood will rot anyway, throwing off heat and CO2. All I do in the wood stove is capture that heat in the house.

That said, there are good ways to burn wood, and bad ways. I strongly suggest that anybody burning wood look at the Puget Sound Clean Air Authority web site. There is some very good information on preparing, drying, and storing wood for fuel. And it must be dry, 20 percent mois-ture or less, which usually means at least a year of storage.

Also there is some information on burning wood. Use an EPA-listed

stove (listed by make and model number on the EPA web site.) During a Stage One burn ban you cannot use a fireplace or an EPA-unlisted stove. Only in a Stage Two ban is all wood burning prohibited, unless you have no other means of heating. (All out-door burning is prohibited in Kitsap County at all times of year.)

To burn properly you need a stove thermometer, available at the local hardware store. If your fire is too cold, you will produce smoke. If too hot, you can start a chimney fire. If just hot enough there is no smoke, and very little residue collects in the chimney. Once up to temperature, my chimney shows no visible smoke.

If you see smoke after the fire is burning well, something is wrong, and you are liable for a $1,000 fine from the clean air authority. So if you must burn wood, do it well.

If you must use electricity, get a ductless heat pump. That will give you the most heat for the least elec-tricity. And be aware that burning propane or oil also cause carbon dioxide production, and will cost you about six times as much for fuel as the same amount of heat from a duct-less heat pump.

STEPHEN DOUGLASSBainbridge Island

In Our Opinion

It’s a relationship that has withstood the test of time.What the future holds is a different question.The Bainbridge Island Fire Department and the Bainbridge

Island Ambulance Association have a decades-long partnership for providing emergency services to island residents. Since 1999, the relationship has been formalized under a contract for ser-vices between the department and the nonprofit.

Although the current contract does not carry an expiration date, a new agreement has been in the works that sets higher standards for the ambulance association.

Officials with the BIAA are the first to acknowledge that expec-tations for medical emergency transports have risen over the years, and that the nonprofit must continue to improve its opera-tions to meet the public’s greater demands.

Some, however, have suggested that Bainbridge should seek out competing bids for the transport of patients that are currently handled by the BIAA. The repeated call for an “request for pro-posals” has been pushed by Fire Commission Board Chairman Dan Morrow, though many are concerned that the RFP effort is a solution in search of a problem, and not the other way around.

Indeed, we have heard no compelling reasons why a for-profit ambulance company is the superior choice over a volunteer-run, nonprofit organization that has served Bainbridge Island since 1946. Those pressing the RFP should be upfront in their reasons why the effort should be undertaken.

The Bainbridge fire board has put off a decision on a new con-tract with the BIAA until 2014. Abandoning the current partner-ship, BIAA officials warn, will mean the permanent demise of the nonprofit.

Bainbridge Island residents have much at stake in the fire board’s upcoming decision. Islanders should make their opinions known to the fire board — a majority of whom will be new to their positions in January — on any potential change, as well as on the wisdom of spending the time, money and resources that an RFP process requires.

“We’re just starting where we start. Next fall we hope to include a bass and four

cellos,” she said. “If we had people who were specializing in trumpets or woodwinds, we could start there, too.”

The people specializing in string instruments are the musically inclined volunteers

of the program — young adults and more experienced musicians from Bainbridge and Poulsbo — who act as mentors to the students and teach them the basics of their newly acquired instru-

ments. Having helped to con-

struct and decorate mock violins out of wood and paper, the Kids In Concert students practice proper handling, posture and care of the instrument for seven weeks before being present-ed with the real thing.

“They have been practic-ing how to treat and how to hold them,” Ron Naden said to the gathered parents and siblings at the concert. “And tonight they’ll get the real thing. We have some little tiny violins, you wouldn’t believe how little they are.”

The goal of the program is continued education and expansion to eventually

include other instruments in this, the very beginning of a youth orchestra.

The violins themselves, each costing approximately $250, are paid for by grants and individual donations acquired by the Kids In Concert program, one of only 40 such programs in the budding movement here in this country, though the for-mula has been proven quite successful overseas.

“We’ve been operating for three years in a very small way,” said Ron Naden. “Making our way slowly to ingratiate ourselves with the tribe. And the tribe, through their education department, has given us a tremendous amount of support and enthusiasm.”

The enthusiasm comes,

not just from the adults involved, but also the chil-dren in the program.

“Any time they get a chance to watch the instruments, or hear the instruments, they’re just spellbound,” Michelle Naden said of the students. “It doesn’t matter if it’s Mozart or ‘Do-Re-Mi.’ At this age if they learn, or just become exposed to it, they’ll become very enamored and very connected to music.”

“We hope to be with these kids for years,” Naden said. “And each year they will develop to the next level and the next stage.”

BY BRIAN KELLYBainbridge Island Review

City of Bainbridge Island officials said an investigation into allegations of wrongdo-ing by a city employee has found no evidence of mis-conduct.

City officials called for an investigation earlier this year after two Bainbridge residents claimed that Josh Machen, the city’s planning manager, had improperly used his city job to promote his private window-washing business.

The outside investigation was conducted by Claire Cordon, a Seattle lawyer who specializes in investigating discrimination, harassment, whistleblowing and misman-agement claims.

“Allegations were raised regarding the operation of an employee’s private busi-ness,” City Manager Doug Schulze said in a statement. “In order to determine whether any policy violation occurred, the city hired an outside investigator to com-plete an investigation.”

“The investigator could find no basis for conclud-ing the employee engaged in any type of quid pro quo solicitation regarding the private business, or other unethical conduct,” Schulze

said.The allegations against

Machen were made in October by Marcus Gerlach, a Bainbridge resident and attorney, and Gary Tripp, the director of the Bainbridge Defense Fund and an out-spoken critic of the city of Bainbridge Island.

Tripp distributed allega-tions that Gerlach made against Machen on Tripp’s email listserv.

extensive investigationCordon’s report noted that

she interviewed Machen and 14 other city employ-ees, including two former city administrators, as well as four former city council members and 19 other wit-nesses, mostly Bainbridge Island property owners.

Cordon said Gerlach “declined to participate in an interview in-person or through his lawyer.” She said he also refused to pro-vide “authenticated copies of any photographs” of Machen that related to the investiga-tion.

Tripp had previously dis-tributed photos via his email listserv that Gerlach said he had taken of his neighbor’s house, which Gerlach said showed Machen washing the windows of the home, and claimed Machen was

hired for the job the day after his neighbor had a shoreline permit deemed as complete by the city of Bainbridge Island.

The claims of unethical behavior were repeated in the days before the November election by former councilman Bill Knobloch, who wrote in an email distributed by Tripp: “What is it going to take for the current administration to clean up the unfair and unequal treatment of people applying for city-issued per-mits?”

“The status quo is not working. Make your voice heard and vote for Common Sense Bainbridge candidates when you receive your ballot in the mail next week. Send a message to our council and appointed officials that you care about fairness for all at city hall,” Knobloch added.

no direct knowledgeCordon, in her report,

said Knobloch cooperated with the investigation and participated in interviews in person, but said he did not have any personal knowl-edge of unethical conduct by Machen, and said what he knew he had gotten from Gerlach.

Gerlach has had a series of legal battles with the city

over permit issues. He filed a federal lawsuit against Bainbridge in 2011 over a buoy permit and said his property rights had been violated. The court sided with the city in August 2012, and later denied a motion for reconsideration.

During the court case, Gerlach had raised his alle-gations that Machen had tried to get business for his window-washing job from Gerlach when he had been seeking a buoy permit, but the judge said the claim had not been supported by facts.

Gerlach is currently pur-suing an appeal to the U.S. District Court, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Gerlach also sued the city in Kitsap County Superior Court earlier this year over a bulkhead permit, and that case was dismissed in the city’s favor in September.

Machen has been a city employee since 1995. He has been washing windows since he put himself through college by washing windows, and told the investigator that he still earns extra money from the business and said he uses it to pay for his son’s school and sports activities.

On the allegation that Machen had washed win-dows for Gerlach’s neighbor while they were seeking

a permit from the city, the investigator found that the homeowners had actually contacted Machen’s com-pany after seeing him wash windows at a neighbor’s home, and got an estimate from Machen’s son for the job. The woman said she did not realize Machen worked for the city, and there was never any discussion about the permit that the city was processing. The investigator also noted that the permit has yet to be approved by the city.

no improprieties foundNo impropriety was found

in any of the other allega-tions made by Gerlach.

“This investigation, which included 38 witness inter-views and the review of sev-eral hundred documents, did not reveal factual information to support allegations that Machen engaged in unethi-cal conduct or that he had a conflict of interest related to his window-washing business and his duties as a [city of Bainbridge Island] employee,” Cordon wrote in her report.

“There was no evidence Machen engaged in quid pro quo solicitations involving his private window-washing business and his duties as a [city of Bainbridge Island]

employee,” Cordon con-cluded.

Some of those interviewed for the investigation called the allegations “ridiculous” and “spurious” and called Machen an honest profes-sional who was an asset in his city job.

“Indeed, many of the people interviewed for this investigation called the accu-sation ‘ridiculous,’” Cordon said.

Serious allegationsThe allegations, however,

were serious, Cordon noted.“Machen has been

accused of engaging in egregious misconduct — offering to give property owners favorable land-use decisions in his capacity as the [city] planning manager in exchange for jobs wash-ing people’s windows,” she wrote.

That said, Cordon bluntly noted a lack of any evidence to support the claims of wrongdoing.

“If Machen were engag-ing in this type of blatant misbehavior, surely someone would have come forward with credible facts to support such an allegation at some point in the last 10 years,” she wrote in her investiga-tion report.

There was no jumping from ropes or using metal chairs as weapons, but the Bainbridge High School gymnasium was not without drama as the var-sity wrestling team gripped and grappled their way to a 37-30 victory over the visiting team from Lakeside High Thursday, Dec. 19.

“It was pretty much what we expected,” said Spartan Head Coach Dan Pippinger of the match.

“It was a level of competi-tion that allowed us to work on some techniques and polish some things up,” Pippinger said.

Bainbridge won seven of the 14 weight classes, two by forfeit.

There were double forfeits in the 106- and 200-pound weight classes.

Lakeside’s Ramses Sanchez won the 113-pound class by forfeit.

Spartan wrestler Greg Williams won the 120-pound class, pinning his opponent in 5:33. Likewise Jonathan Gallivan won the 126-pound class by pinning Lakeside’s Jonathan Castillo in 3:20.

Chaney Weaver won the 132-pound class by forfeit.

Jack Miller’s performance in the 138-pound class proved one of the more exciting rounds of the match, with neither wrestler gaining immediate advantage. He did manage to pin Lakeside’s BJ Dondoyano in 1:43 for the win.

Lakeside won the 145-pound class by forfeit.

In the 152-pound class Bainbridge’s Dylan Read pinned Cole Stephens in 3:02.

Lakeside’s Sam Dunietz went the distance against BHS’s Joaquin Gurza in the 160-pound class, but it was not enough and Gurza was named the victor with a round score of 15-2.

BHS lost the 170-pound class

when Lakeside’s Jaydon Brown pinned David Grytten in 17 seconds.

Both the 182- and 195-pound classes were won by forfeit, by Lakeside and BHS respectively.

Finally, Lakeside’s Daniel Gonzalez claimed a victory by forfeit in the 285-pound class.

Speaking to the question of home field advantage, and whether such a thing exists in wrestling, Pippinger said he feels that the Spartans always benefit from the encourage-ment of the hometown crowd.

“Our guys are comfortable here,” he said. “They know what to expect, there’s more of our

voices in the stands.” The Spartans will host their

next regular season match at home against wrestlers from O’Dea at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 7.

BHS to stay with Metro League

BAINBRIDGE - The Bainbridge Spartans will stay put by opting up.

The Bainbridge Island School Board unanimous-ly approved the high school’s desire to “opt up” from its new classification as a 2A school and stay in 3A and continue compet-

ing in the Metro League at a special meeting before the holiday break.

Moves in league align-ment have been expected since the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association presented new classification num-bers for high schools across the state.

Bainbridge High was facing 2A status, with some suggesting a move

to the Olympic League. BHS has been in Metro

since 2000-2001, though the Spartans have previ-ously competed in the Olympic 2A/3A and Wesco 2A leagues.

Opinions have been divided on where the Spartans should play. Most parents and players polled preferred Metro competition.

Coaches at the high school were divided, with 11 wanting to stick with the Metro League, and eight others favoring a

move to the Olympic League.

Gymnastics called off due to snow

BAINBRIDGE - The Bainbridge Spartan’s home matchup against Mercer Island and Bellingham in girls gym-nastics on Friday, Dec. 20 was canceled due to the snowy weather, accord-ing to Spartan Assistant Coach Bryan Garoutte.

The scheduling change

means a long layoff in competition for the Bainbridge gymnasts.

The Spartans will com-pete on the road Friday, Jan. 10 against Nathan Hale and Chief Sealth, their first meet since the Shorewood-Shorecrest matchup Dec. 13.

“I believed it would show us what kind of team we have the poten-tial to become by the end of January. The game did not disappoint and I learned how much my boys have grown as men since last February,” he said.

Blake Swanson led the Spartans with 21 points.

Oskar Dieterich also scored in double digits for Bainbridge, and chipped in 11 points. Joey Blacker added nine.

“Blake Swanson had a career high,” Orness noted. “Dieterich also pulled down 12 rebounds.”

Spartan JV boys hoops is now 7-1

BAINBRIDGE - The Bainbridge JV boys bas-ketball team will end their year on a high note, hav-ing compiled three recent Metro League wins in a row against Chief Sealth, West Seattle and Franklin High.

“We are competing and working hard and continuing to improve in terms of executing on offense and in our defen-sive schemes,” said Head JV Coach Henry Guterson. “I’m proud of our first half of the season.”

On Friday, Dec. 13 the team claimed a decisive 55-42 victory over Chief

Sealth. Miles Gori led the

team with 13 points; he also corralled seven rebounds. Sawyer Conrad also struck quite a blow for the Spartans on the scoreboard, contributing 11 points.

On Tuesday, Dec. 17 the Spartans once again won big against West Seattle. The final score was 62-55.

Bainbridge jumped in front early.

“We built a nice lead in the first half and had a 19-point lead going into the fourth,” Guterson said. “West Seattle gave us a scare in the fourth, but we hung on.

Anders Tonsman had 18 points for BHS, and teammate Miles Gori added nine points and pulled in 10 rebounds.

“He continues to do a great job in the paint for us,” the coach said.

Finally, on Friday, Dec. 20 the Spartans beat Franklin High 61-55.

“We played a great first half and led by 14,” Guterson said.

“We knew Franklin would come back and they did, but we hung on.”

Tonsman exploded offensively with 29 points, including five three-pointers.

“Miles Gori continues to control the paint for us, with nine points and 10 rebounds,” Guterson said. The Spartans play their next game at home at 4:45 p.m. Friday, Jan. 3 against Rainier Beach.

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND AQUATICS CENTER - The Bainbridge High boys

varsity swim team won an epic 109-60 victory at home over the visit-ing Seattle Preparatory team during a meet Wednesday, Dec. 18 at the Bainbridge Island Aquatics Center.

The Spartans took first place in nearly every event of the meet, including the 200-yard medley relay, the 50-yard freestyle, the 100-yard freestyle, the 500-yard freestyle, the 200-yard freestyle relay, the 100-yard breaststroke and the 400-yard freestyle relay.

Seattle Prep did emerge victorious, however, in the 200-yard freestyle, the 200-yard individual med-ley event, the 100-yard butterfly and the 100-yard backstroke.

Neither team had any divers compete.

The win is an especially welcomed one, com-ing on the heels of two Spartan losses at home last week to both Mercer Island and Franklin High.

The Spartans will not swim again this year.

Their next meet is 3:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 10 against Lakeside High at the Helene Madison Pool.

Spartan wrestlers split in Metro action

BAINBRIDGE - The Bainbridge High varsity wrestling team demol-ished the team from Franklin High, then were themselves bested by the wrestlers from Rainier Beach at a home meet Wednesday, Dec. 18 in the BHS gymnasium.

The Spartans beat Franklin 44-18.

Bainbridge’s Jonathan Gallivan (126-pound) pinned his opponent in 1:28. Chaney Weaver (132-pound) also pinned his opponent.

Jack Miller claimed a victory for BHS in the 138-pound weight class, and won the match 10-4.

In the 152-pound class, Dylan Read brought home another win for Bainbridge after pinning Franklin’s Jimmy Truong in 2:32.

Joaquin Gurza won by forfeit in the 160-pound class.

Arts & EntertainmentBainbridge Island

Frank Ferrante brings his Groucho Marx

to BainbridgeBY LUCIANO MARANO

Bainbridge Island Review

Standing among the most recognizable figures of the 20th century, alongside Elvis Presley, Albert Einstein and Marilyn Monroe, you will find a short rude man from Manhattan wearing round glasses and a thick greasepaint mustache.

He would most likely be chomping a cigar.

He would definitely not be impressed by the lineup.

By the time of his death in 1977, Julius Henry “Groucho” Marx had left a legacy in American popular culture that is, argu-ably, unmatched to this day. Throughout the course of his life he, with the rest of the Marx Brothers, would conquer the mediums of stage, radio, film, music and television. Giants of entertainment includ-ing Johnny Carson, Jerry Seinfeld, Woody Allen and Bill Cosby have all named him as one of their major influences. His legendary insults and innuendos are as repeated and imitated today as they ever were.

“Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.”

“I never forget a face, but in your case I’ll be glad to make an exception.”

“I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.”

The man surely left some rather large shoes to fill, but lucky for theatre fans around the world, Frank Ferrante has the right-sized feet.

For anyone who never got the chance to truly experience the legendary come-dian, a second chance has come along. Ferrante — an award-winning actor, director and playwright — is bringing his own recreation of the Groucho persona to Bainbridge Performing Arts for a very special one-time-only show at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18.

“It’s been a lifetime study,” Ferrante said of his playing the character of Groucho.

“I’ve loved him from the time that I was a child,” he said. “I read all the magazines, books and letters. It just became more and more intense as I pursued a professional career in theatre.”

Ferrante, who was described by the New York Times as “the greatest living interpreter of Groucho Marx’s material,” was first discovered by Groucho’s own son, Arthur Marx. Ferrante originated the

off-Broadway title role in “Groucho: A Life in Revue” (written by Arthur Marx), por-traying the famed comedian from age 15 to 85. He also starred in, directed and pro-duced the national PBS television program “Groucho: A Life in Revue.”

He has now condensed some of the best of his renowned Groucho material, as well as some new quips, into the mani-

cally hilarious 90-minute performance “An Afternoon With Groucho.”

“It’s forever daunting because of the responsibility,” Ferrante said of the pres-sure that accompanies assuming the noto-rious persona. “I respect his legacy and his contributions so much. I always see it as an undertaking that has merit and value because I get to share him with audiences

that might not know him.”Far from a simple impersonation,

Ferrante considers his portrayal of Groucho to be more of a recreation of the man’s stage personality and an homage to his comedic style.

“I’m not crazy about so-called tribute

Frank Ferrante brings his acclaimed portrayal of legendary comedian Groucho Marx to Bainbridge Performing Arts for a one-time-only performance at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18. Tickets are on sale and available at www.bainbridgeperforming arts.org, by phone at 206-842-8569 or in person at BPA (200 Madison Avenue N). The cost is $20.

shows,” Ferrante said, adding that his perfor-mances take quite a different approach.

“You want to become that entity. That’s what I try to do, convey the essence of that person or that per-former. My job is to hold the audience. I’m basically doing a period piece.”

Historical as it may be — the last Marx Brothers film premiered in 1959 — the content and delivery of the team’s material has lost none of its relevance. Each new generation seems to redis-cover the Marx Brothers, especially Groucho.

“They keep coming back,” Ferrante said. “That’s been proven with the Marx Brothers.”

What exactly is it about the group that continues to appeal to new audiences?

“They’re exhilarating,” Ferrante said. “And that’s what appealed to me as a child. It’s the loudness of it, the freedom of the humor. There’s a childlike, adoles-cent quality to the Marx Brothers. There’s no filter, there’s no editing to them.

They play by their own rules; they’re the outsiders looking in.”

Having spent so much time assuming the personal-ity of Groucho, researching the man’s life and having worked so closely with the comedian’s children, Ferrante said he feels as if he can begin to understand and relate to the great come-dian.

“He is a complex figure,” he said. “My impression is that he did the best he could possibly do in his lifetime as a human, a person and a brilliant creative talent. I see him as someone who’s an intellectual.”

Of course, the look is half of the act. Even those only vaguely familiar with the Marx Brothers actual mate-rial could still pick Groucho out of a lineup any day, a

fact that Ferrante is all too aware of.

“It’s the face of comedy in the United States, that look,” Ferrante said. “I couldn’t do it [the show] if the per-sona was not so clearly con-structed. The trappings are stunning, but it’s really the way he thinks. The point is to share this style of comedy with the audience, this brash American style.

“He spoke his mind, and that’s part of what’s so appealing about Groucho,” he said.

In today’s world of extrem-ist entertainment, where everything is so loud and scandalous all the time, the material of the Marx Brothers remains popular in no small part because it is so different.

Groucho managed to mock authority in every

form — government, educa-tion, police, aristocracy - and he did so with quick wit and cheeky expressions. He was always the smartest man in the room, and no institution was safe from his derision. While we will never know how much of the Groucho persona was an act — he was reportedly a rather sad person in his private life — assuming the role is a true labor of love for Ferrante.

“On some level I feel depleted,” he said of the end of the show. “I like to leave the show feeling as if I’ve given everything. It’s cathartic.”

Three gentlemen come to Bainbridge Arts & Crafts

T he beginning of a new month in Kitsap marks the change over for many local art galleries. And in January, Bainbridge Arts & Crafts has some-

thing special in mind. “We’re starting our year on a very elevated note,”

said BAC Publicist Lindsay Masters.“The Gentlemen of Northwest Art” exhibit starts on

Jan. 3. It will feature the work of three artists: sculptor Phillip Levine, painter Norman Lundin and sculptor Gerard Tsutakawa.

An artist reception will be from 6-8 p.m. on Jan. 3, during the First Friday Artwalk in downtown Winslow on Bainbridge Island.

“This is a big exhibition for BAC and for Bainbridge,” she said.

Levine and Tsutakawa are both accomplished sculptors, whose styles are unique from one another. Levine’s work often includes the human form, either alone or interacting with a set. The sculptures also often interact with light and shadows.

Tsutakawa work is grounded more in the explora-tion of three-dimensional shapes, and negative space. Visitors to Safeco Field will recognize his sculpture of a bronze baseball mitt.

Lundin’s paintings range from expansive landscapes interacting with human development — such as a road weaving through a field — to seemingly empty rooms, filled with the remnants of activity.

Bainbridge Arts & Crafts is located at 151 Winslow Way East, Bainbridge Island.

L emberger, a red wine that once was a rising star in the

early Washington wine industry, is slowly fading into obscurity.

Though it’s a wine that everyone seems to love, Lemberger’s fortunes always have been tied to its unfortunate name, a moniker that evokes thoughts of stinky cheese rather than a deliciously smooth and fruity red wine.

Today, fewer than a dozen Washington winer-ies make Lemberger, and acreage in Washington has dwindled to perhaps 85.

“I think it’s conceiv-able that it could go, more or less, extinct” in Washington, said Scott Williams, winemaker for Kiona Vineyards and Winery on Red Mountain.

Williams, whose father, John, planted Lemberger in 1976, has 17 acres — likely the largest block in Washington, perhaps even North America. He still farms those original two acres, as well as plantings he made in 1983 and 1998. From those, he makes 3,000 cases that he sells for $15 per bottle.

“Selling it is like rolling rocks uphill,” he told Great Northwest Wine. “There’s a market for us for about 3,000 cases.”

Lemberger is grown in many Central European countries, including Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. It got its name not from the German cheese, but rather from the Slovenian town of Lemberg. Wines from Lemberger grapes are often smooth, rich and approachable.

The first plantings of Lemberger in Washington were in 1941 by Dr. Walter Clore, a Washington State University researcher based in the Yakima Valley town of Prosser.

“He actually arranged to have it imported from British Columbia for his varietal trials,” said Wade Wolfe, owner and winemaker at Thurston Wolfe in Prosser. Wolfe makes 100 cases of Lemberger and 130 cases of Lemberger rosé, called Second Chance Rosé.

“It makes the best rosé in the world,” Wolfe said.

He also includes Lemberger in a blend called Dr. Wolfe’s Family Red.

Wolfe remembers Hogue Cellars making it up until 1996. Then the Prosser winery brought it back for a time under its Genesis label, using grapes from Red Willow Vineyard.

Washington wineries that now make Lemberger also include Olympic

Cellars in Sequim, Whidbey Island Winery in Langley, Alexandria Nicole Cellars in Prosser, FairWinds Winery in Port Townsend, and Kana Winery in Yakima. Owen Roe in Oregon uses Washington Lemberger in one of its blends, and Camas Prairie Winery in Moscow, Idaho, also makes Lemberger from Washington grapes.

Williams said one reason for Lemberger’s demise has been the rise of Syrah, which has a more appealing name and works equally well as a blending wine.

“It has been supplanted by Syrah,” Williams said. “When you look at winer-ies’ blends, it’s a lot of Syrah, so most of the acre-age of Lemberger that was finding a home as a blend has been pushed out.”

Mike Sauer, owner of Red Willow Vineyard

in the western Yakima Valley, planted Lemberger in 1979, taking his direc-tion from Clore. He planted more in 1997, but he tore out his old block in 2011, replanting with Cabernet Sauvignon.

In the Horse Heaven Hills, grape grower Paul Champoux still has four acres of Lemberger at his famed Champoux Vineyards. When he pur-chased the vineyard in the mid-1990s, there were 12 acres that had been planted in 1981, much of which has been taken out through the years.

One viticultural issue with Lemberger is leaf roll virus, something that seems to be inherent to the variety. Leaf roll causes a vine’s leaves to turn prematurely red dur-ing the growing season, which essentially slows or stops photosynthesis. Though every single

Lemberger vine in the state apparently is infected with leaf roll virus, it doesn’t stop the variety from producing a healthy crop each year.

Bill Powers, owner of Powers Winery and Badger Mountain Vineyards in Kennewick, made Lemberger for about a decade, both as a table wine and a fortified des-sert wine.

“I loved the wine,” Powers said. “But it was a hard sell. In the tasting room, it sold well, but to get space in a major chain was impossible. You were just wasting your breath.”

So what could turn around the fortunes of Lemberger in Washington? First would be a name change.

“The only real problem is the name,” Williams said. “If you’re not open-minded, you won’t get

your head around the name.”

Wolfe said he believes the rising interest in esoteric varieties such as Grüner Veltliner and Albariño could fuel a mild rebirth in Lemberger. But he isn’t holding out hope.

“I’m not aware of any-body who has planted it recently, and it’s gradually being pulled out,” Wolfe said.

Indeed, he continues to make it each year only after a healthy debate.

“I do it to honor Walt,” he said. “I bottled my 2012 on Monday, so I’ll have it at least for another year.”

Ironically, the grape is finding increased inter-est across the country in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Jim Trezise, president of the New York Wine & Grape Foundation, said Lemberger competes with Cabernet Franc as the region’s top red variety.

For The record

It may be a simple date on a calendar or a mere change of a

Youth group opens shop: One group of young islanders took it upon themselves to open a holiday boutique in time for the shopping season — while also simultaneously helping educate girls in developing countries around the world.

Bainbridge Island’s seventh-grade girls’ Wyldlife group opened a two-day “pop-up shop” on Winslow Way on Dec. 20 and 21.

The event, dubbed Island Girl Rising, was inspired by the recent “Girl Rising” docu-mentary showing, hosted by the Bainbridge High School Social Justice League last October.

All of the proceeds will be donated to the 10x10 Fund for Girls’ Education, a charity started in collaboration with the documentary.

Wyldlife is a nonde-nominational Christian youth group and talking circle for middle school age students. Made up of 16 girls, the group has worked since October to produce gifts worth selling and giving. They range from hand-embroidered cards to jewelry and ornaments.

Mayor fires financial di-rector: In a city hall shakeup that took many by surprise, Bremerton Mayor Patty Lent fired her director of financial services, Becky Hasart, on Dec. 19.

Lent, though, said the move didn’t come out of left field.

“We have had a conversa-tion the last few months about financial services so it didn’t come as a surprise,” Lent said, noting that Hu-man Resources was recently removed from Hasart’s port-folio and placed under City Attorney Roger Lubovich.

“Becky came in and did exactly what I wanted her to do,” Lent said. “There are cities two and three times our size that are looking for finance directors and I’m going to give her a glowing letter of recommendation.”

Messages left with Hasart Friday morning for com-ment were not immediately returned.

Lent said that removing Human Resources from under the direction of Hasart was a first step in reorganiz-

ing and streamlining city hall. Lent also hopes to figure out a way to make the City Clerk position, which also oversees parking issues and the Humane Society, a part of Lubovich’s legal depart-ment.

Lent said her next step will be putting together a new job description for a financial services director that will be advertised in January. In the meantime, Cathy Johnson, Hasart’s former assistant, will take over as interim Financial Services Director.

Hasart was Lent’s third Financial Services Director in her first term. Lent fired Andy Parks shortly after taking of-fice and hired former county treasurer Barbara Stephen-son, who retired a short time later. Before Lent hired Hasart, she worked in Wash-ougal just outside Vancouver along the Columbia River.

Letters to Santa raise money for charity: Santa will be busy this week read-ing the nearly 5,000 letters written by Cougar Valley Elementary students who participated in a special campaign to raise money for charity.

The letters were part of Macy’s Believe campaign, which donates $1 per letter to the Make-A-Wish Founda-tion. Macy’s has pledged to donate up to $1 million toward the foundation this year.

At the end of the day on Dec. 17, students had written 4,984 letters which means nearly $5,000 will be donated by the students of just one school. Two students alone wrote 630 letters be-tween the both of them.

Fishline charity collects toys for children: Poulsbo’s City Hall wasn’t the only location where anonymous givers visited this season.

Giving trees and toy boxes were spread throughout the community to collect pres-ents for the area’s children.

Fishline’s Giving Trees have come down. But for the food bank and charitable service, the job isn’t finished.

“The community response was generously overwhelm-ing,” said Raelenea Rodriguez of North Kitsap Fishline.

Now, Fishline’s helper elves will sort the pres-

ents and get them to the intended recipients.

The trees held gift requests from the area’s chil-dren in need. A total of 243 out of 283 children received gifts in response to the trees. Fishline will purchase gifts for the remaining 40.

Donation boxes for toys, such as the boxes at City Hall or at the North Kitsap Herald, helped to provide presents for more children — a total of 120 to be exact, according to Rodriguez.

“(The) total number of children for Christmas Child

2013 is approximately 403,” Rodriguez said. “But it could be higher as we serve last minute walk-in clients.”

Angel sworn in: More than 60 people packed into a Kitsap County courtroom to watch as Jan Angel was sworn in as the first Republi-can woman to represent the 26th Legislative District in the state Senate, Dec. 17.

Angel, who served as the district’s state representative since 2009, defeated Sen. Na-than Schlicher. D-Gig Harbor, in the November general election. The race between the two candidates was the most expensive Senate race in state history, at about $3 million.

Angel thanked those in at-tendance for their support.

“This road has been a tough one and it ended up being the most expensive race in the history of the state Legislator,” Angel said. “But every one of you helped get this car over the finish line. And I thank you so much.”
