And yes it does have something to do with grilled salmon. Bigger than life. That’s a good way to describe Melvin. When he enters a room, he completely fills it with his personality. And when he enters a kitchen, well, let’s just say you’re in for a treat.

And it’s all so delightful, like eating at a four star restaurant run by a four star chef. With a four star personality.

Weed Warriors heed the call to battle Weed Warriors are not about dandelions; that battle was lost decades ago. The Weed Warriors are a volunteer coalition of amateur and professional gardeners serving various organizations including but not limited to the Bainbridge Island Land Trust, city of Bainbridge Island, Sustainable Bainbridge, Bainbridge Island Parks & Rec, Watershed Council, and Kitsap Weed Board. In general the goal is to have at least one action and/ or educational event a month focused on removal of noxious weeds and restoration of native plants. (Community service hours available to students, of course!) As an island, Bainbridge is at particular risk of non-native invasive plant species that can wipe out stream, wetlands and desirable species such as huckleberries and trilliums. But because we live on an island, we also have enormous potential to vanquish these invaders. Weed Warriors were founded 12 years ago and its largest annual event is Earth Day at Pritchard Park, which has topped 100 participants. In 2015, the Weed Warriors will again be at Pritchard from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 18.
Weed Warriors works to remove invasive plants so native plants, such as trilliums, can thrive. The organization has a monthly newsletter that goes to almost 200 people. To be added to the list go to http://www.sustainablebainbridge.org/ weed-warriors.aspx or contact Jeannette Franks, PhD jfranks1@comcast. net.

ARTS
BIG FIRST YEAR FOR BIMA
and culture
Beautiful Bainbridge Island is not only renowned for its natural glamor, but for its culture and vibrant artistic community as well. As the sun sets and visitors and residents alike head home from the beaches, forests and trails, a whole other world of island allure begins to shine. Bainbridge Performing Arts, Island Theatre and Ovation! Musical Theatre all offer acclaim-garnering productions on a regular rotating basis. Both the historic Lynwood Theater and Bainbridge Cinemas offer a visual one-two punch of first-run flicks and speciality programs such as live ballet and concert productions from around the world via satellite. You’re never very far away from a chance to dance, either. The Treehouse Cafe, the Bainbridge Brewery, Pegasus Coffee and several other venues offer regular live music performances almost every week. The island is perhaps most celebrated for its galleries and museums, including the downtown art world mecca, the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. Within a short walk, you can also enjoy the historical museum and a bounty of boutiques and galleries including Bainbridge Arts & Crafts, Danger, Roby-King Galleries, the Steven Fey fine art photography gallery and more.

A Rachel Feferman retrospective was an integral part of the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art’s sixth exhibition changeover late last year. The Bainbridge Island Museum of Art enjoyed its first full year of operations in 2014, and museum officials offered a few highlights of the past year. How many people visited the museum in 2014? 2014 was the museum’s first full year of being open to the public and since
the grand opening on June 14, 2013 it has served more than 120,000 visitors. BIMA’s mission is to engage a diverse audience with the art and craft of our region and our time. The art museum provides a unique and accessible resource for local residents and tourists alike. BIMA:

T
he Bainbridge Island Historical Museum has made its impressive facility even better. This year marks the completion of a $120,000 renovation project to make the annex more efficient space-wise. The renovations — paid for by the Bainbridge Island Rotary Club and the Fletcher Bay Foundation — included new LED lights, wood flooring, sturdy cabinets and a new bathroom and kitchenette.
New to the collection The Politkofsky cannon is one of the museum’s newest donations. It is currently undergoing restoration and will be on display as part of the Port Blakely exhibit. The Politkofsky, a so-called Russian gunboat, was launched from Sitka in 1861 and began duty as a tugboat in

In 2014, BIMA created and hosted 23 exhibitions which included rotating the permanent collection, showcasing the Heikki Seppa exhibition and rotating the Artist’s Book room three times. The museum’s solo exhibitions were: Elizabeth Reed Smith, Joseph Rossano, Tracy Lang, David Eisenhour, Fred Lisaius, Romson Bustillo, Max Grover, Jenny Andersen, Larry Ahvakana, Rachel Feferman, Harry Longstreet, and Karen Hackenberg. BIMA’s group shows included: Inner Portraits, Twelve Years in the Woods: Arts Studio Gallery, A Community Builds an Art Museum as well as a special show on Children’s Book Illustrators. Were there any particularly noteworthy acquisitions made last year? A noteworthy acquisition this year was the gift of the Heikki Seppa collection, hand-formed works in silver and other metals. This master artist was originally from Finland, and spent his last years on Bainbridge Island. Internationally known and collected, Seppa taught numerous metals students over the decades – he brought techniques to the United States, and also invented others. Which exhibit saw the most visitors? The summer exhibitions season is by far the busiest averaging about 250 visitors per day from locals to international tourists. Summer exhibitions included: Jenny Andersen: Offerings; Max Grover: Hunter, Gatherer, Painter; Romson Regarde Bustillo: Dugay na; and Fred Lisaius: Terra Sublime.
One big draw was the Annual Family Art Day (July 19, 2014), highlighting the work of Max Grover in partnership with KiDiMu, Bloedel Reserve, Kitsap Regional Library, Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Rec, BI Storybook Makers and more. Last year also saw the first annual Military Appreciation Day (Aug. 29), Brian Kelly photo in partnership with Artist David Eisenhour, right, works to hang his installation “Dialogue KiDiMu and the with Nature” at BIMA last year.

Bainbridge Island Historical Museum. “Educators from across the world, including Bosnia, Japan, and Ometepe make us an annual stop for lessons they teach,” she said. The museum had a record number of student visitors in 2013, and hosted more than 60 groups from local schools and universities from surrounding communities. More than 950 students from Bainbridge schools alone visited the museum. In 2014, more than 800 youngsters stopped by. Overall, the total number of visitors was 14,886 last year, an increase of 22.5 percent over 2013. Visitors came from all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and 46 countries. The museum’s newest exhibit is “Port Blakely: Portrait of a Mill Town.” Today’s casual visitor to Port Blakely might be astounded to learn that the quiet harbor was once the scene of a bustling maritime industrial complex that at one time laid claim to being the largest and highest producing sawmill in the world. The collection of photographic images of the mill — which burned to the ground and was rebuilt twice — depict the multiple faces and facets of Port Blakely. Documenting this era of growth and change are the photographs of several notable photographers including William Hester, Carleton Watkins and Asahel Curtis. Museum officials say some of the strongest images are thanks the photographic talent of Tamegoro Takayoshi and especially to Charles J. Lincoln. Lincoln — a distant relative of President Abraham Lincoln — left a legacy of some 950 glass-plate negatives which are now housed at the museum. They have all been digitized and give a brilliant glimpse into the Blakely lifestyle. The museum is featuring selections from his series of landscapes, buildings, boats, industrial scenes, pets and people. Be sure to see his “Lincoln’s Ladies Collection” that features models, dancers, friends and relatives posing in the elaborate fashions of the era. The glass plate format has captured striking detail and there is a modern lifelike beauty preserved in these 100-year-old images. Other aspects of the exhibition include a diorama model of the mill and surrounding structures and details of the

CELEBRATING A DECADE OF EMPOWERING KIDS THROUGH PLAY Kids Discovery Museum is turning 10 this year. A bigger-than-ever Birthday Bash is in the works along with other festive surprises throughout the anniversary year. “We are excited to invite the community to celebrate with us and recognize a momentous occasion when we all came together to create a home for early learning on Bainbridge Island,” said KiDiMu’s executive director Susie Burdick. The museum first opened in the Packard Building on Madison Avenue in April 2005 and then, in June 2010, moved to its permanent home in the current Island Gateway location.
2014 Highlights: First Kids for KiDiMu walk On May 3, KiDiMu held its first “FUNdraiser” for young philanthropists, sponsored by Harrison Medical Center. Children and their families joined a walkathon to support the museum’s educational mission and ensure that KiDiMu continues to thrive and bring generations together. At the finish line, participants joined Recess Monkey for a rocking finale. In 2015, the event is planned for May 2 and will feature new attractions along the route. Growing up safe and prepared In 2014, KiDiMu introduced a monthly program and new additions to “Our Town” exhibit hall to make young visitors familiar with important safety and emergency preparedness issues and help families tackle them with no fear. Each month the museum partners with local specialists to present a new subject, from natural disasters to kitchen safety, and more. The program was made possible thanks to generous support from Bainbridge Community Foundation, Puget Sound Energy and Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island. New climbing wall exhibit

Hart said she was “kind of scared,” but did not open her eyes until Peterson told her to. She did not expect the animal kissing her to be an alligator, she said. Isaac “Reptile Boy” Peterson introduced the guests at 2014’s Kids Discovery Museum Birthday Bash to some of his favorite cold-blooded party animals. In the spring KiDiMu opened a new outdoor exhibit featuring a climbing wall. KiDiMu kids can practice motor skills and have fun outdoors rain or shine, as the wall is sheltered by a big yellow sail.

ISLAND inspirations
Island life, one inch at a time Vincent Mattson has spent a good chunk of the last 20 years looking out for rain. When it comes, he is never upset. Through drought and deluge, the 91-year-old Air Force veteran, a World War II bombardier and former civil engineer with the Washington State Department of Transportation, has used his affinity for numbers and order, an extension of his chosen occupations and naturally organized mentality, to create a very special and specific picture of the times. When the clouds gather and the sky opens up, Mattson collects, measures and records the precipitation for his meticulous personal files, which he has kept with loving dedication since 1993 using only an antique typewriter and a very basic rain gauge posted out on the deck of his home. Then, every month or two, he makes a select few copies of his charts and records for delivery to several special recipients, including city hall and the office of the Bainbridge Island Review. “I make seven copies,” he said. “I give a copy to the city and the fellow that gave me the rain gauge, I give him a copy. And other people, engineers and whatnot, that are interested in the rainfall.” It’s a hobby he came to later in his retirement, he said, but one of significantly more importance than playing games or working on jigsaw puzzles. “It’s a hobby, but I think it’s useful because you can’t rely on Bremerton’s rain experience as being indicative of ours even though we’re so close,” Mattson explained. “We’re a lot more tied in with Seattle, but there’s even differences on
the island.” The impetus of his newfound labor of love was quite simple, and Mattson remembers it in the same humble, matterof-fact way in which he relates anything else. “I think it’s because somebody gave me a gauge,” he said. “I think that it was one of the science teachers at the high school. So, I put it up outside, and that Luciano Marano photo was it.” Vincent Mattson, a World War II bombardier and former civil “It’s been very engineer with the Washington State Department of Transportation, interesting, really, to has been keeping a meticulous record of the monthly and annual see just how changeprecipitation on Bainbridge Island since 1993. able things are,” he added. “This is a difily in Gamlakarleby, Finland. ficult area to be a weather forecaster in.

time as an Army Air Forces bombardier during World War II. “We could retire after 30 years, which included service time,” Mattson explained. “First day I could retire, I did.” The family moved to Bainbridge Island in 1977, into a house which had been owned by his wife’s grandparents. It was a long way from his first home. “I was born in Brooklyn,” Mattson remembered. “I went through the school system there until 1937, which included the first years of high school. They had accelerated programs, so I did two years of junior high school in one year.” It was shortly after that, while visiting some of his mother’s family in Everett, that Mattson’s mom decided that Washington was the place for them. No matter what his dad said. “My mother got smitten with the area, because then, when we got back “First day to Brooklyn, she I could talked my dad into moving out here,” retire, I did.” he said. Vincent Mattson “That would be just like you talking me into moving to Florida,” he said with disbelief to his wife. His father proved easier to uproot, however, and later that year the family made the drive across the country in the midst of the Great Depression in a 1928 Dodge. Mattson graduated from high school in Everett and then, after studying aeronautic construction through a mail-order course and brief stints of employment with Boeing and then at Paine Field, enlisted in the Army Air Forces. It was early 1943. “I enlisted and got into the cadet program,” Mattson remembered. “I wanted to be a navigator. I didn’t want to be a pilot, but I finally ended up graduating from bombardier school.” Mattson ultimately flew 32 combat missions during World War II as part of the 99th Bomb Group. He remembered that his unit’s primary objectives included taking out the enemy’s oil refineries, aircraft manufacturing plants and transportation facilities. “They were shooting at us all the time,” he said. “But, this was after the D-
Day landings. Prior to that, the 15th Air Force had an awful lot of German fighter opposition. After the June landings, that tapered off a lot. “Timing is everything, as they say,” he laughed. After a brief stint at home, Mattson reported for reassignment, having served his time with the 99th. “They said, ‘You’ve got battle fatigue,’” he laughed. “So, they sent me up to Spokane, Washington for R&R. Then back to California for reassignment, and the war ended in August.” It was late 1945. Shortly afterward, while studying at
the University of Washington, Mattson met his future wife Kathryn “Kay” Bergman, a nursing student there. Mattson graduated as a civil engineer and moved on to his next — considerably safer — career adventure, which actually turned out to be historic as well. “(I) got involved in the design and construction of the first freeway in the state of Washington,” he remembered. “The Vancouver Freeway, it was Highway 99 at the time because the interstate system hadn’t been established. That didn’t come until ’56.” INSPIRATIONS: Continued on Page 46

2015 Island Treasures Three island artists have been recognized as this year’s newest recipients of the Island Treasure award, joining a roster which includes some of the most famous names in Bainbridge culture. The 2015 awardees are Diane Bonciolini and Greg Mesmer of Mesolini Glass and photographer Art Grice. Grice, an island resident since 1977, has worked as an architectural and fine arts photographer for more than 40 years. He has also been a gallery owner, mentor and teacher. The island photographer is also noted for the tireless work he has done to promote and support other artists. As founding members of the Bainbridge Island Studio Tour, Bonciolini and Mesmer proved tireless in their encouragement of new artistic talents. Their latest nonprofit endeavor, the Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network, is currently working to create a community center focused on craft and invention, with special programs to be geared toward children and young adults. Originally conceived in 1999, the Island Treasure Award honors excellence in the arts and/or humanities and is presented annually to individuals who have made outstanding contri-
Greg Mesmer and Diane Bonciolini butions in those areas in the Bainbridge Island community. Candidates must Art Grice live on Bainbridge, have displayed an ongoing commitment to their chosen field and serve as an inspiration to those in their field and others in the community to become more involved in local arts and humanities. The Island Treasure selection process was modeled after the MacArthur Genius Awards Program. Ten nominators chosen from a pool of community members each identify one or two potential candidates, whose names and accomplishments are submitted to a five-person jury. The final two are then approved by the Arts & Humanities Council Board.
INSPIRATIONS: Continued from Page 45 After his retirement, and their international travels and adventures, Mattson said he and Kathryn are taking things easier back on Bainbridge these days. “We don’t go anywhere anymore,” he laughed. But the records remain, as well as the photos and, best of all, the stories. The stories — some of war, some of parenthood and many of travel by plane, car and ship — Mattson recalls with that same humble, matter-of-fact tone again, the same one he uses when he

discusses his latest rainfall figures. Regardless of all the places he’s seen, Bainbridge, Mattson said, is a good place to live. “You find on Bainbridge that people have a lot of interesting backgrounds because, for the most part, they have been doers,” he said. “That’s what I like about this. We have a wide variety of individuals, and they’re willing to use their talents to help out.” Mattson’s own life stands as testament to that statement, as he himself continues to help out, too, every single time it rains.

Island SPORTS AND RECREATION Opportunities to get in on the action on Bainbridge are everywhere, and whether you’re going out for the team or looking for something a little more off the beaten path, the island has what it takes to get you moving. Though it may seem that much of the local emphasis is on youth sports, the high school’s many championship-earning teams and clubs as well as the various youth leagues, old-timers too will find plenty of ways to shake the dust off as they explore and enjoy the multitude of recreational options on the island. Whether you’re looking for beaches to relax on, trails to hike and bike, boats to sail or games to play, Bainbridge has it all.
BHS Sailing team The Bainbridge High Sailing Team was formed in 1988 by a few students who had been sailing in the Bainbridge parks summer program and who wanted to sail as a high school sport. At that time there were no other local high school sailing teams, but there were many sailing teams throughout the country governed by the Interscholastic Sailing Association. John DeMeyer was the original coach and coordinator at parks, and he recruited others in the area to form teams from five schools to create the Northwest District of ISSA. Along with the first two team captains and their parents, he also successfully lobbied to have the school jointly sponsor the sailing team with the park district. The sailing team’s first season was in 1996. 2014 NWISA Doublehanded Fourth place NWISA Team Racing Champions

It was another title-filled year for jumpers from the Bainbridge Island Rope Skippers. Three members of the Bainbridge Island Rope Skippers earned the title of 2014 “Grand National Champions” at the USA Jump Rope National competition held in Long Beach, California which concluded Sunday, June 29. Anna Warga, Abigail Harrison and Sarah Sharman performed a no-miss, high difficulty Double Dutch freestyle routine at Grand Nationals, the final day of competition, featuring the “best of the best” from Nationals. The Bainbridge trio earned a gold medal at Nationals in the 18-to-22 age division, earning them the chance to compete for the Grand National championship title and trophy. The trio also competed in — and ultimately won — the 2014 World Jump Rope Championships in Orlando, Florida. Warga, Harrison and Sharman won the gold medal with a nearly flawless Double Dutch freestyle routine.

Bainbridge Island Almanac 2015 | 51
Island boasts thousands of acres for active and passive park users When it comes to open space and outdoor recreation, the citizens of Bainbridge Island can’t get enough. You might think that this Puget Sound island would be satisfied to rest on its nearly 1,000-acre laurels, but no; every year the island renews its commitment and expands its public lands. In the most recent case, the Bainbridge Island Land Trust acquired the 31-acre Hilltop property, linking the east and west segments of the Grand Forest. The Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District was involved in part of the purchase and will be the property’s overseer; it has also built a trail linking the two Grand Forest properties, which the district also manages. Red Pine Park, Bainbridge’s newest park, was donated to the parks district last year by Sue Cooley. Named after the Japanese tree which symbolizes patience and perseverance, the passive park at Parfitt Way and Wood Avenue features a gravel path that leads through an open lawn with a mixture of Japanese Red Pines and native plants to 11 raised community garden beds, an orchard and berry beds. Fort Ward Park, located at the island’s south end, is a 137-acre outpost with a boat launch, underwater park for scuba diving, walking trails, picnic areas, and one campsite for kayakers. Enjoy 4,300 feet of waterfront along Rich Passage or wander through the remains of World War I era gun emplacements inland. Follow Pleasant Beach Drive south from Lynwood, or find the upper parking area off Fort Ward Hill Road. Fort Ward Parade Grounds Park is a 1.5-acre neighborhood park located at the end of Parade Grounds Avenue. The site is a portion of the previous marching and parade area for Fort Ward. Nutes Pond is a 31-acre passive park with a captivating landscape whose central feature is a tranquil pond. Located off Toe Jam Hill Road at the island’s south end, this park purchase was in conjunction with the Open Space Bond fund and conveyed to the park district in 2011. Moving north, a trail system connects Fort Ward to Blakely Harbor Park, which boasts 40 acres of waterfront and woods around a historic millpond and stone jetty. Once the center of a booming timber industry, the inlet is a serene spot amid water, sky and birds. Eagledale offers an ambitious little park

There is a fenced, off-leash dog area; play equipment; a covered picnic area; tennis, sports, and volleyball courts; a stone labyrinth and a fine view of Mount Rainier, all on 6.7 acres off Rose Avenue. For a secluded escape, Gazzam Lake Preserve and contiguous properties offer more than 400 mostly wooded acres, including a quiet 14-acre freshwater lake/ wetland area. Most folks head up Marshall Road past the recycling center and park at the north gate. For a real workout try the shore-to-shore walk. Two satellite properties off Crystal Springs Drive are well worth exploring. The Gazzam Beach property, Close Beach, stretches 550 feet along the rocky beach near the foot of Baker Hill Road. An upland area includes seven rough acres of green space. The park has no amenities at this point but offers spacious views. Just to the south, Point White Pier, a former Mosquito Fleet and ferry dock, is an ideal spot for fishing and scuba diving. Located a few miles north of Gazzam Lake Preserve at 8395 Fletcher Bay Road is Island Center Park, which includes a historic community hall and a picnic area on its three acres.
The 90-year-old facility has a rich and varied history, and has a large room, corner stage for a variety of uses, a kitchen and two bathrooms. When park classes are not in session, the facility is available for rent from the park district. Waterfront Park on Eagle Harbor is one of several green spaces tucked into the Winslow area. Its 5.5 acres bridges downtown to the harbor and features a covered picnic building, tennis courts, a lower picnic area, bandstand and boat launch. The connecting Waterfront Trail begins at the ferry and runs west along the water before turning up into downtown Winslow. Hawley Cove, just east of Winslow, offers good ferry watching and, at low tide, 330 feet of driftwood-strewn beach. Its 12 acres include a boardwalk through a wooded upland and a lower marsh. Reach the park from either of two directions. From Winslow, hike down Hawley Way past the sewer plant, then scramble over the driftwood and you’re there. Or park off Wing Point Way, near Azalea Avenue, and look for the trailhead. Follow the wooded path and fork left at the bottom to find the beach. Camp Yeomalt is a long-time scout

camp with trails on three acres at the corner of Yeomalt and Park Avenue. The classroom and Depression-era log cabin with performance stage are available for rental. At the southwest corner of Aaron and Grand avenues, Aaron Avenue Tot Lot is a small playground with horseshoe pits and a picnic table. Kenneth H. Gideon Park is a 2.5-acre playground and field at the corner of Grow Avenue and Gideon Lane. Proposed improvements include new play equipment and trail upgrades. Ballplayers of all sizes can boot balls or take a few practice swings at the ten-acre property of Sands Avenue Ball Fields. A regulation soccer pitch and Babe Ruth baseball diamond (with grass infield) have vaulted the park to the pinnacle of island ball facilities. Rotary Park is another stop for sluggers with two baseball fields and a picnic area on 10 acres. It’s on Weaver Road between High School Road and Wyatt Way. Strawberry Hill Park, west of town, is a decommissioned Nike missile site from the Cold War era and the HQ for park district activities. Aside from offices, the park hosts a tennis court, baseball and softball diamonds, a football field, a play area, a covered picnic area, and an indoor mini gym (call the park district at 206-842-2306 for programs and rental) all on 25 acres. Also here: a world-class skateboard park, the Rotary Skate Bowl (helmets required). The park is off High School Road, between Fletcher Bay and Sportsman Club roads. Grand Forest, a 240-acre park in several parts, anchors a mid-island greenway and wildlife corridor. True to its name, the parcels include 75-year-old evergreen forest, wetlands and wildlife habitat that
are popular with hikers, bikers and equestrians. The 1.2-mile Forest to Sky Trail begins at Grand Forest on Miller Road and dives west into robust woodland. Visitors cross a thriving wetland on a boardwalk and the ruts of a historic logging road before arriving at Battle Point Park. Though known mostly for its World War II military installations, Battle Point Park was named for a much earlier skirmish between a resident Suquamish band and raiders from a northern tribe. The park’s 90 acres of open space include two ponds (complete with ducks), picnic areas and a shelter, a smooth jogging/walking trail, a fitness course, several soccer and softball fields, two tennis courts, a roller hockey court, a sand volleyball court, two basketball courts, horse area and community gardens. From the northern end of Battle Point take a trail across Frey Avenue to find Fairy Dell Park, a 2.5-acre nature area. The park includes shoreline access at the base of a sylvan ravine. Meigs Park is a 120-acre inland wetland and wildlife habitat intended for nature study. It is covered by a conservation easement held by the Land Trust. Access is off Highway 305 and Koura Road. Ted Olson Nature Preserve encompasses 15 acres of woods with a .3-mile nature trail, a small natural amphitheater and parking for 10 vehicles. The park is on North Madison Avenue, just south of Wilkes Elementary. For a day out with a hoofed companion, Manzanita Park offers 120 acres of woods laced with horse and pedestrian trails. Its 2.27-mile nature trail is best enjoyed in late summer and early fall. There is also a covered picnic shelter and a controlled group camping area. The park is next to the Saddle Club off Day Road West.
Hidden Cove Ball Fields, located on Phelps Road (northeast off Day Road and Highway 305), hosts ball fields and access to an extensive trail network. The 9.5-acre site has a Little League field and a soccer practice area. Take a trail north to Hidden Cove Park and another six-acre parcel, which has space for picnics, 200 feet of shoreline and a dock for small watercraft. Nearby T’Chookwap Park, maintained by the park district, is a half-acre water view property on Spargur Loop Road, with a footpath to the bluff overlooking Port Madison. Facing east on Puget Sound, Fay Bainbridge Park showcases a 1,420-foot sandy beach with impressive driftwood piles. It also has the only overnight camping facilities on the island, with 36 standard sites, 26 water-only hookup sites and 10 primitive spaces for tents. The park, which previously was a State Parks property, includes a play area, two covered picnic facilities, volleyball and campfire pits. Find the 17-acre park off Sunrise Drive. West Port Madison Nature Preserve has 13 acres with 0.2-mile trail and picnic shelters, barbecue pits, and bird watching. From SR-305, follow West Port Madison Road to County Park Road and turn right. Bloedel Reserve, just north of Port Madison, is an internationally renowned public garden composed of 150 acres of forest, stately gardens, ponds, meadows, and the Bloedel family’s former estate home. This renowned garden welcomes the public. Go east on Agatewood Road to the gated entrance. Located deep inside Eagle Harbor off Weaver Avenue, the 4-acre Strawberry Plant Park property, once a berry cannery and commercial center, offers wildlife habitat, a non-motorized boat launch, picnic area, 80-foot-wide view corridor and a walking path with water access.

What we were thinking? Or, what were we thinking? Bainbridge Islanders entered 2015 thinking that last year was pretty good, (Yes 66.7, No 33.3), but there was a little more doubt that this year will be a bit better (Yes 64.7, No 35.3). And a bit more of us were convinced the Seahawks would win the Super Bowl than at the start of last year. At least, that’s what people told us on our online polls at bainbridgereview.com.

Barrecor owner Emiliana Prado trains her newest instructors in her new studio. Prado said she found the island needed a barre studio.
Barrecor brings new energy to island While it’s sad to see businesses close, there’s plenty of new ones creating a buzz of excitement out in the community. Barrecor is one of the newest businesses to open on the island in 2015. Owner Emiliana Prado brought her barre studio to the Hildebrand Village in January. “This is my own thing,” she said of the studio. “It’s barre. We teach one type of class, but we’re very good at it.” Prado’s classes are a mix of Pilates, yoga and ballet. Clients use dumbbells, balls, stretch bands and a ballet barre during the course of the class, along with mat work. Participants can expect a one-

An estimated 3,150 business licenses were issued on the island for 2014, and the city of Bainbridge Island expects to issue 3,200 in 2015. Nearly 200 businesses span the downtown core in Winslow while other centers of commerce have risen out of places such as Lynwood, Coppertop Loop and Day Road. The island’s business community is supported by two organizations: the Bainbridge Island Downtown Association and the Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce. B.I.

Ferries — instrumental to island life From a ferry yard on the shores of Eagle Harbor to a boat being included on the seal of the city, ferries are tightly woven into the fabric of Bainbridge Island. Washington has 22 ferries running between 20 ports throughout Puget Sound. One of the most popular routes is between the island and Seattle. With two boats servicing the island — the Tacoma and the Wenatchee — the route is a major gateway onto the Kitsap Peninsula. The ferry run between Bainbridge and Seattle carried 6.1 million riders in 2012, including 2.9 million walk-on passengers.
