"Something New," Public Art's newest program, will be officially unveiled on the First Friday Art Walk, July 6th from 6-8 pm. The Public Art Committee, a subcommittee of Arts & Humanities Bainbridge, partners with the City of Bainbridge Island to manage and facilitate COBI's Public Art Program. Their newest project, “Something New,” consists of a rotating public art venture, featuring sculptures by regional artists to be displayed for one year within the Winslow corridor. Last Fall, the Bainbridge Island City Council approved funding for this one-year pilot project for public art. The Public Art Committee conducted a call for art, selected a jury and collaborated with COBI's Public Works department to design pedestals for the selected sculptures. Selections were made in March, the artists were notified in April, pedestals were built in May and the sculptures are being installed in June. The three chosen pieces and locations are: “Hand in Hand by William Robinson (to be placed in Waterfront Park across from the Senior Center), “Iris Flare” by Lin McJunkin and Milo White (to be placed on Winslow Way near the intersection with Erickson Avenue) and “Three Color Spires” by Gerry Newcomb, which will stand in the harbor-side plaza at the southern end of Madison Avenue. For the official unveiling of “Something New” on July 6th, the Public Art Committee will have a tent on Winslow Way and provide shuttle rides between the three locations, allowing the community to view the selected pieces and meet the artists. All are welcome to join the festivities. While the bases are permanent, the art is not. Once approved by City Council, the next round of art will be selected and installed in 2019. “Something New” supports the Cultural Element of COBI's Comprehensive Plan by creating a stimulating visual environment on Bainbridge Island. The Public Art Program and the Public Art Committee provide stewardship of the City's public art portfolio, allowing the community to experience great art, to support local artists, and and to foster the creative process in our region.

If you've enjoyed reading the poems in all the windows along Winslow Way this month, you'll want to be sure to listen as the poets read their poems aloud as part of Poetry Corners Live at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art at 7pm Wednesday evening, April 25th. Begun in 1999 by Kathleen Thorne under the aegis of Arts Humanities Bainbridge, Poetry Corners has for 19 years provided a venue for the many poets of Bainbridge Island to display their poems in the windows of local businesses. Listen here as BCB host Charlotte Cook talks with Island Treasure and poet extraordinaire Nancy Rekow about the history of Poetry Corners, who's eligible, and how the poems are chosen. We also learn that AHB will be producing a chapbook of the poems, which will be sold at the Poetry Corners Live event on the 25th, and that the BIMA cafe will be selling delicious food for an hour prior to the event. Poetry Corners Live is free to attend, but registration is required: for tickets and more information about the program and the poets, visit the AHB website at AHBainbridge.org.

In this 26-minute podcast, we learn the pros and cons of 6 alternative sites for the proposed new building for the City's police department and municipal court. We meet the local Bainbridge architect chosen by the City Council to review and rate the potential sites, Matthew Coates, who is president of Coates Design. And the conversation is joined by City Communications Manager Kellie Stickney, who reports on the citizen engagement session at City Hall on April 12th, when about 100 citizens offered feedback on the sites under consideration. Matthew reports on the months of comparative analysis, and his findings, since he was appointed by the City Council last October. Kellie encourages citizens to stay engaged in this open process to identify the best site and eventually design a building that could embody green and sustainable design features, and offer public benefits for decades to come. Matthew describes the three sites that look least promising, in part because of inadequate size: - Yaquina Road, east of 305 - North Madison Ave above 305, and - 249 Winslow Way East. And Matthew explains the pros and cons of the 3 highest scoring sites: - New Brooklyn Road (the highest scoring site) - wooded land north of Vineyard Lane, and - the existing site at 305 and Winslow Way. Citizens are encouraged to attend the next public meeting on this topic, at the 7pm meeting of the City Council on Tuesday May 2nd, when there will be a formal presentation by Matthew Coates and an opportunity for additional public comment.

In this Arts and Artists podcast, you can listen to a lively conversation with sculptor Christine Clark who created the beautiful metal Tribute Baskets at Waypoint, Bill Baran-Mickle, of the Public Arts Committee, and Bruce Weiland, who coordinated the community effort to bring Waypoint Park into being. Bruce tells the story of how Waypoint Park came into being, and how the community worked together to transform an ugly chain-link fenced-in property to a thing of beauty at the corner of 305 and Winslow Way. The Waypoint Park sculpture is the first new public art since the Public Arts Committee (and funding) were restored in 2014. Bill Baran-Mickle tells us how the restoration of the Public Arts program and its funding brought Christine Clarks's large metal sculptures here to grace Waypoint as the culmination of its place in this community. ... and Christine describes the inspiration and significance of the four large metal baskets, what the motifs represent, and how they honor BI's cultural heritage.

And then, if you're feeling inspired, you can head over to the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, where there will be a hands-on quilt sew-in. Anyone who's interested can go up to the 2nd floor work room, sit down at a sewing machine, choose some fabric, and be guided to make a contribution to our next Wounded Hero quilt, which will be donated to a veterans' shelter in Kitsap County. And you can do more than look: Many of the quilts can be purchased -- or, for just $2, you can purchase a raffle ticket for a chance to win a beautiful 57: x 66” quilt, “Star Struck," made by the Bainbridge Island Modern Quilt Guilders.

In this 17-minute podcast conversation, meet Jane and Dave Danielson -- the two long-time islanders who are the new owners of Eagle Harbor Book Company, the Island's iconic independent bookstore on Winslow Way. When Morley Horder, who has owned our beloved neighborhood independent bookstore for over 20 years, wanted to sell, he turned to Jane Danielson, long time employee, and her husband Dave. Both are lifetime lovers of books and bookstores, hanging out in them everywhere they travel, including Capetown, South Africa. In this interview for “Who's on Bainbridge,” we learn that while Jane has worked a variety of jobs at the bookstore, including events coordinator, Dave has had a very distinguished legal career, including doing human rights and social justice work in Africa. He has worked with Desmond Tutu's organization, Institute for Justice and Reconciliation, among others. On a break from her work in the bookstore, Jane also traveled with Dave to Africa, and helped to develop an archival center in Uganda. They met in the bookstore. Who knew that bookstore romance could develop into bookstore ownership? But thankfully for us Bainbridge Islanders, it did. So our much loved independent bookstore, an anchor and icon in downtown Winslow, will stay in local hands - ownership, management and, most importantly, the staff who we all have come to depend on. After slogging through the legal and administrative business of changing hands, Jane and Dave envision a bookstore that will become even more a hub to meet authors and raise and discuss ideas in the community. They envision collaborating with other local organizations and businesses to offer opportunities to gather and discuss important current events, informed by relevant books available in the store. And you can meet them at the upcoming store event. Jane and Dave will host an Open House at the bookstore 7-8pm on Thursday July 7th to both honor Morley's enduring 20-year leadership, and to introduce themselves to our BI community. In this highly competitive age of e-books and Amazon instant downloads, we hear in this podcast conversation how the Danielson's are inspiring us to continue to support our most centrally-located independent bookstore in our downtown.

Downton Abbey fans worried about post-series withdrawal - worry not! You can re-immerse yourself in Edwardian England in Tessa Arlen's historical novels ... with a murder mystery added for good measure. Eagle Harbor Book Company (our outstanding independent bookstore on Winslow Way) will celebrate the release of Tessa's new second book with a launch party on Thursday, March 31 at 7:30 pm. In addition to “light eats” and some fizzie beverages, Tessa will delve into stories of her books that benefit from her own English origins. And we can expect more to come, since her publisher and readers have clamored for a series. Tessa Arlen's first book, "Death of a Dishonorable Gentleman", set in the English countryside and an aristocratic family home during the early 20th century, has all the beautiful detail of English gardens and scenic vistas, plus the culinary details of dinner parties. But lest we be lulled into the bucolic life of the rich and famous in Edwardian England, murder during a gala event keeps our brains abuzz with the whodunit. Tessa's second book "Death Sits Down to Dinner" takes us to London where the same aristocratic family owns a town home with similar upstairs/downstairs intrigue. But in this even more exciting novel, the murder occurs at a dinner party celebrating Winston Churchill's 39th birthday. Tessa includes extensive historical research, and five actual historical figures who add interest and further intrigue to the murder mystery, with a surprise ending. You'll find this 14-minute podcast conversation with Tessa a delight. And it foreshadows a fun and engaging author event at Eagle Harbor Books on March 31, when Tessa will share a surprise announcement. Visit Tessa's website.

In this 12-minute podcast, Greg Robinson, Executive Director & Curator of Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (BIMA) talks about the newly installed exhibitions for BIMA's spring shows. The theme is "Journeys", and this rotation will be on display from March 12th to June 5th. The group show addressing ideas and experiences surrounding personal journeys has themes ranging from travel and fantasy to personal loss and other life changing events. The artists featured in the group show also have solo shows in the art museum. These artists are: Marita Dingus, Denise Harris, Steve Jensen, Phillip Levine, Susan Lowrey, Ann Morris, Steve Parmelee, and Kay Walsh. A visually-stunning 27-foot tall, site-specific mixed-media doll, made of recycled hot-tub covers and other found objects, by Marita Dingus, hangs in the Beacon Gallery. It is visible from outside to passing pedestrians and motorists on Winslow Way, or it may be viewed from inside the museum's large corner window. Steve Parmalee's “Assemblage” finds the sacred in the discarded, and he succeeds in transforming found objects and materials into works of art. Steve Jensen's “Boats” is a selection of Jensen's sculptural boat paintings in the bistro gallery. By popular demand, “A Story Place”, the amazing ceramic installation by artist Nancy Thorne Chambers is being extended through the spring. Come into the museum and experience the magical place and essay contest for all ages (old enough to write). 2016 Island Treasure award winners Denise Harris and Cameron Snow will be exhibiting in the Garden Gallery, featuring Harris' mixed media sculptures, and Snow's hand-painted porcelain plates and cups. BIMA's exclusive, unique and extensive collection of Artist's Books is in its seventh rotation, this one titled “Form and Content”. While artist's books are most often exhibited in library galleries, it is rare in the US to find a gallery dedicated to permanent collections of these works of art in the form of multi-dimensional books.

In this podcast, City planning director Kathy Cook reflects back and reminisces about a remarkable 20-year career with the City of Bainbridge Island (COBI). Kathy is retiring this month from the important and publicly visible position of Director of Planning and Community Development. Kathy was hired by COBI as a part-time administrator twenty years ago, and her experiences and responsibilities grew as COBI evolved and changed over those two decades. You'll hear the respect and appreciation she feels for the community members she's served and the staff she's worked with. The recording of this conversation, about six days prior to her last day at work, gave Kathy a chance to reflect and tell stories of a memorable career in a community she has always admired and appreciated. When asked about projects that were particularly satisfying, she recalls, for example: - Developing the ordinances that implemented the Winslow Master Plan of the 1990s - Participating in the revitalization of Winslow Way and the downtown area (the Winslow Way streetscape project, the gateway formed by the Art Museum and Kidimu, the T&C store remodel and Waypoint Park) - Helping with the Special Area Plan for Lynwood Center when she first joined the City, and then watching the plan come to fruition over time. When asked about the most controversial development project for a City that has had more than it's share of controversy, her answer, quite surprisingly, was the 2008-10 planning process for the new Art Museum. Have a listen to hear why. When asked about her most challenging role or duty, Kathy tells a story that is still painful to her emotionally, when she -- as the newly appointed director of the Department -- was required to respond to the devastating economic downturn of 2008 to 2011 by implementing large numbers of employee layoffs, and the ensuing efforts to restore morale as much as possible. It was a time when the City staff declined in number by roughly one-third over a 3-year period. Kathy also shares stories about projects she found most complex, and the aspects of her work with the City that she has found the most interesting. She concludes by mentioning several issues that she expects citizens will be wanting to address as the update of COBI's Comprehensive Plan proceeds, and as timely issues for citizens and the community continue to assert themselves.

From BCB... http://bestofbcb.org/wu-200-david-williams-speaks-nov-15/ Ever wonder why there are parking lots in Seattle where the cars sit catawampus to each other (the ground underneath is a former tidal swamp), or why the train tracks make a broad sweep instead of going straight (the tracks were laid before the lowering of Lake Washington)? The answers are contained in author David Williams' fascinating new book, Too High and Too Steep: reshaping Seattle's Topography. David was inspired to write this book out of his own curiosity about the many natural and unnatural features of Seattle's topography. His book encourages us to explore Seattle with more probing eyes and to learn how Seattle's founders have helped to shape the city's landscape. At 3pm on November 15 at Eagle Harbor Books, David will show slides of many of the maps and photos in his book depicting how Seattle used to look prior to the major topographical reshaping of the city that occurred in the early years of its development. He'll also discuss the surprising engineering projects - both monumental and minuscule - that have shaped the Seattle we all know today. Be sure to join David Williams at Eagle Harbor bookstore on Winslow Way on November 15th at 3 pm for a fascinating view into Seattle's topographical history.

In this podcast, Barbara Tolliver and Susan Taylor, owners of one of Bainbridge Island's oldest retail establishments, The Traveler, talk about the store's 20-year history, and its evolution from a travel bookstore to a large multi-product travel store in the heart of Winslow Way. Now tripled in size, the store has offerings far beyond the original staple of travel books and maps. In addition to luggage, clothing, travel accessories, and entertainment for traveling children, The Traveler will also use its newly expanded space to host small classes on travel tips, such as packing, travel with children, language coaching for popular countries. And The Traveler will periodically host events about travel and traveling. Susan and Barbara, avid travelers, themselves, talk about some of their favorite travel destinations and experiences (you may be surprised!), and how these trips have informed their business. The Traveler is now located on the north side of Winslow Way, in the center of the block between Madison and Erickson, where Paper Products used to be located.

In this podcast, we get first-hand information for voters from City Mayor Anne Blair, Police Chief Matt Hamner, and the Treasurer of Islanders for a Secure Bainbridge, Tom McCloskey. Their podcast explains this Fall's Proposition 1 ballot measure which would fund the consolidation of our Bainbridge Island police department, local court, and emergency operations center, in a central location adjacent to City Hall. They explain that the Police Department is currently housed in a converted 1945 fire station that is structurally unsafe and deficient in many areas that would prevent our the Department from becoming accredited under State law. They also point out that the property at Route 305 and Winslow Way is in a commercially desirable location that - if sold - could raise a substantial amount of money toward the construction of a combined facility for police, courts and emergency operations. The information provided in the podcast is also available on the website of Islanders for a Secure Bainbridge. Credits: BCB host, audio editor and publisher: Barry Peters.

In this podcast, two employees of Town & Country Market describe the remarkable results of the 18-month renovation of the iconic downtown Winslow Way food market. And they preview the celebratory open house party that's set for Thursday September 17th, from 6pm to 8pm. Stop by for free food samples amidst music from a local jazz combo. We hear from Steve Vadset, assistant to store manager Rick Pedersen, and Becky Fox Marshall of the T&C marketing team. They describe the new store features that resulted from the very extensive renovation, and talk about the experience of keeping the store open to shoppers while the store transformed itself. Among the new in-store features are: the new Recipes Bar, with the ability to consult thousands of online recipes for dishes demo'd in the store; a staffed sushi bar that will open soon; customer seating for more than 100 so you can dine on what you buy in the store; an open-oven flatbread cafe, near the coffee-espresso bar and not far from the open bars for salads, olives and hot dishes; a flavor aisle with bulk spices and herbs; and a draft beer station where you can bring your glass growler jug for a refill. Behind the scenes, it's a story of remarkable energy savings. On the roof, there are 120 new solar panels. There's now 49 percent less energy used per square foot. T&C was the first private-sector project to use an energy-conservation bond from the state Housing Finance Commission. And T&C is seeking a LEED Gold green-building certification. Racks supply lockable spaces for dozens of bicycles, and many new trees have been planted. Electric cars will find two recharge stations.

In this insightful interview of sculptor David Eisenhour by Bainbridge Island Museum of Art executive director and curator Greg Robinson, we gain a sense of the artist's development and evolution. Over the decades, as Eisenhour relished the process of bronze sculpting, he also nurtured his love of nature and a continual discovery of the minute intricacies in the natural world. In their conversation, Greg talks with David about what has driven his sculpting - process and subject matter. And we learn how David's growing concern about climate change's effects on our natural world has moved him to focus our attention on the changes he sees in the oceans, including seawater acidification and the unprecedented increase in species such as jellyfish. In particular, David talks about his intriguing jellyfish exhibit in the front windows of the art museum, facing the sidewalk along Winslow Way. David describes the significance of these jellyfish, the inspiration for them, and the captivating way they are exhibited, hanging from motorized gears that simulates how they might float in the ocean. This is a delightful conversation that opens a fascinating window into the world of a thoughtful, sensitive sculptor.

From BCB... http://bestofbcb.org/cafe-017-compassion-tour/ David H. Breaux has been on a yearlong tour of the U.S. asking people he's met from Montreal to Manhattan and from Tampa to San Antonio a single question: What is your conception of compassion? While David has been spending about a month in each of the cities he's visited, his stay on Bainbridge Island was just a few days this August. Still, he spent several hours on a bench along Winslow Way in the island's primary commercial district, talking with people as well as collecting people's written descriptions of the meaning of compassion in a notebook. David began the 12-month tour in September of 2014 after a five-year stint on a street corner in Davis, Calif. His goal in encouraging people to discuss compassion is to strengthen our understanding of interconnection and inspire us to act toward the alleviation of suffering in the world. David shares how he came to make the decision to launch the tour in this video: https://youtu.be/_bvF1dkZM0A To learn more about the tour and to keep track of David, join this Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thecompassiontour/ Credits: BCB host, audio tech and audio editor: Reed Price; BCB Publisher Diane Walker.

From BCB... http://bestofbcb.org/arts-002-bima-artists-books-collection/ This fascinating and informative interview takes us behind the scenes to the magnificent collection of artists' books in the Sherry Grover Gallery of the Bainbridge Island Art Museum, providing insight into a wide array of artists' books with different themes, materials, texts, and ingenuity. According to BIMA founder and artists' books curator Cynthia Sears, artists' books are “literalists of the imagination,” for their ingenious construction, literary cleverness, and sometimes, satire. In this podcast Cynthia tells BCB host Channie Peters where she finds most of the books she collects for the art museum, what is special about them to her, and where we can see more such beautiful and clever works of art and craft. BIMA is one of the few art museums in America to offer a significant collection of artists' books permanently exhibited in a special gallery designed just for such pieces of art. The collection is diverse and always astounding in the cleverness, design and execution of each artist's book. In fact, description pales before the actual visual impact of each book -- so it's best to visit BIMA, and see for yourself.The Sherry Grover Gallery is on the second floor of the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, which is conveniently located at the intersection of Highway 305 and Winslow Way, just a short walk from the ferry.

Diane Bonciolini and Gregg Mesmer have been making beautiful glass together as Mesolini since 1977. Earlier this year, they were named Island Treasures for 2015 by the Bainbridge Island Arts and Humanities Council. Their familiar installations -- the Beach Glass Quilt on Winslow Way; the artwork at Rotary Centennial Park; and the installations at the Bainbridge Library and at The Waypoint across from the Art Museum -- are easily recognizable for their signature fused glass style. For Diane and Gregg, their community spirit is evident in all they do -- from teaching and coaching at the public schools to leading the glass workers at the Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network (BARN). Each of them has contributed many hours and materials to our schools, designing murals and teaching kids the joy of working together creatively. They have introduced scores of people to the art of glass through classes and joint community projects. Always eager to support other artists and nurture new talent, Gregg and Diane were also founding members of The Studio Tour and part of the core group that established the Working Studio Group. Their latest effort includes support of the BARN, a nonprofit that has an interim multi-faceted facility at Rolling Bay and is seeking fund and build a new center for community creativity focused on craft and invention. Gregg and Diane are excellent examples of artists who have created a sense of community around their work. Get to know them better in this intimate BCB interview on Who's on Bainbridge.

Cynthia Sears tells us about Rachel Feferman's life and how it influenced her art, especially the “Golden Hands” in this exhibit, which is titled “Hole in the Heart.” Greg Robinson describes this very moving exhibit, unusual for the art museum because it is the first exhibit of an artist who is no longer living. The current show will continue until February 15, 2015 at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, which is located at the corner of Highway 305 and Winslow Way.

In this podcast, Barbara Clarke from Field's End and bestselling author and editor Ann Hood talk with BCB host Channie Peters about Ann's upcoming lecture on “How to Be Your Own Best Editor”. One of the hardest things for writers to do is judge their own work in progress. Commonly called revision, it produces groans from most of us working on a manuscript. This Saturday, October 18th lecture on revision by Ann Hood will not only teach us to “cast a cold eye on our own work” but provide advice and tips. Ann is the author of the just-released novel "An Italian Wife" and many other best-selling novels and essays. She is the editor of "Knitting Yarns: Writers on Knitting", which will be featured in an evening event (see prior podcast WU-081). She's received two Pushcart Prizes and is on the faculty of the MFA in Creative Writing program at The New School in New York City and is a frequent instructor at various conferences. The venue for this Saturday October 18th 1-3pm event is the auditorium at Bainbridge Island Museum of Art at 550 Winslow Way E (the corner of SR 305 & Winslow Way — a short walk from the ferry). Register now online at the Field's End website for the event that includes a Q&A and book signing. Or pay at the door, but BIMA auditorium seating is limited. Tickets: $25.

In this podcast, we learn about an upcoming September 17th evening meeting at City Hall. The purpose is to discuss plans for a cycling and walking trail along Route 305 north of Winslow Way, and a potential east-west connection across Route 305 by footbridge or tunnel. In this interview with the City's Engineering Manager Chris Hammer -- and with the citizen volunteer Chair of the Sound to Olympics Trail Committee, Don Willott -- the goals of the new grant-funded project are explained. For years, citizen volunteers on the Non-Motorized Transportation Advisory Committee, like Don, have worked with the City to develop proposals and grant applications. In this case, a design and construction grant has been federally funded, and the options for the trail design will be explained at the September 17th public meeting. As Don Willott says, some people think that non-motorized transportation projects are solely about cycling routes. In fact, the safety of walking routes is also part of this project. An important part of the strategy is to construct portions of the trail in a separate area parallel to the road -- and a crossing under or over the highway -- thereby creating a safer off-road walking or cycling experience for adults and children. One long-term goal is to build a south-to-north route that connects Pugel Sound (at the ferry terminal) with the the Olympics. This early phase of that project covers the stretch from Winslow Way to High School Road, past the Vineyard Lane residential community. Another long-term goal -- identified 10 years ago in a transportation study of Winslow -- is to provide an east-west connection across Route 305 for pedestrians and cyclists. That connection could take the form of a tunnel on the north side of the Winslow ravine just south of the Vineyard Lane community. Another alternative would be an elevated foot and cycle bridge over the highway in the vicinity of Winslow's Knechtel Way. At the meeting, attendees will have a chance to hear from the design teams that have been developing alternative designs for the south-to-north and the east-west elements. This project is made possible by a federal grant under the Transportation Alternatives Program that addresses alternatives to conventional transportation projects for vehicle traffic. The funding is for both design and construction of a segment of the south-to-north trail from Winslow Way to Vineyard Lane. The public meeting is at City Hall at 7pm on Wednesday September 17th.

Kristin Tollefson, Education Director of Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (BIMA), and Katie Walters, BIMA's Development and Community Relations Manager, talk with BCB host Channie Peters about the art museum's summer education programs and the July 19th Family Art Day. The art museum's commitment to art education is evident in the many education programs it offers. Among them are: “Meet the Artist” gallery talks; artist lectures; workshops with exhibiting artists; and hands-on artist demonstrations. These many programs will continue this summer with exhibiting artists, Jenny Anderson, Max Grover, Fred Lisaius and Romson Regarde Bustillo. Most education programs are free. Katie Walters describes a fun-filled Family Art Day, which will be on July 19 from 10am to 4pm. The event venue will be on the outdoor plaza between BIMA and Kidimu. Event cosponsors are Kidimu and Bainbridge Community Foundation, with support from many local businesses making it a true community event. Bainbridge Performing Arts Theatre School Summer Camp will kick off the Family Art Day festivities at 10am, followed by Storymaker's Studio performing “Caps for Sale” from 1 to 2pm in the auditorium. There will be hands-on art activities and artist demonstrations, including with Max Grover, a featured artist in the current show at the art museum. On Family Art Day, the art museum and Bainbridge Bakers will serve up family-friendly menus so families can spend the day enjoying art, music and fun activities for everyone. Bainbridge Island Museum of Art is located at the corner of Winslow Way and Hwy 305, just a short walk from the ferry. For more information about the art museum's exhibits, programs and artists go to biartmuseum.org.

On June 29 Eagle Harbor Books will host Tina Gilbertson, author of Constructive Wallowing: How to Beat Bad Feelings By Letting Yourself Have Them. The event will begin at 3pm in the back room of the book store, which is located at 157 Winslow Way, Bainbridge Island. Gilbertson, whose book offers helpful guidelines on how to practice loving kindness and self compassion, is a former actress and now a practicing psychotherapist in Portland, Oregon. In this interview with Victoria Irwin, the bookstore events coordinator, we learn that Gilbertson's book is very reader-friendly, with work sheets and quotes by notable personalities. Victoria also reads from one of the book's essays, a memorable piece by author/anthropologist, Zora Neale Hurston. Ms. Hurston, like Gilbertson, urges readers to embrace every aspect of ourselves, even including questionable behaviors. According to Gilbertson, most people heal and grow in the presence of compassion, caring and understanding. Those who are familiar with Buddhism and/or other meditation practices may already be aware of this principle. But even if you're not inclined to embrace Eastern philosophies Victoria believes listening to Gilbertson can help reduce destructive self-criticism. The well informed staff at Eagle Harbor Books can also help you identify other books in this genre. Call 206-842-5332 or visit their website at http://www.eagleharborbooks.com.

In this podcast, Rotary member Tom McCloskey, who is the Chair of this year's Rotary Auction and Rummage Sale, recounts the history, scale and scope of this remarkable annual event, now in its 54th year. Tom points out that -- while the event is managed and maintained by the Rotary Club - it has become a true community-wide event. During the upcoming 11-day period, 116 Rotarians and about 1,100 other volunteers will prepare, physically work, manage, clean up and follow up. Five to ten thousand customers are expected at the six-hour event from 8am to 2pm on Saturday June 28th. Purchased goods may be picked up that day by vehicle between 10am and 3pm. To plan your Saturday shopping, attend the open preview night on Friday the 27th from 5-8pm. Meanwhile, starting on Friday, June 20th, you can drop off your donated goods at the Woodward Middle School. Use the south entrance on Sportsmen Club Road between 8am and 8pm during the six days through Wednesday June 25th. Approximately 150,000 items -- some as small as toothpicks and others as large as donated cars and boats -- are expected. Proceeds of the event will fund the Rotary's annual community grants to nonprofits, plus large-scale community grants (like the Waypoint project that transformed the corner of Winslow Way and route 305). In addition, the proceeds will fund scholarships to High School students, donations to international humanitarian projects, and other worthy causes. Our BCB radio project itself was a benefactor of a $7,000 portion of last year's nearly $445,000 in Rotary proceeds in the form of a grant to our local nonprofit parent, Sustainable Bainbridge. The cumulative proceeds from 54 years of Rotary Auctions is likely to pass the $6 million level this year. Tom points out that the first of those auctions generated dollars that helped acquire land for the Bainbridge Library. In this podcast, Tom McCloskey points out that many Bainbridge Islanders consider the Rotary Auction to be a way of taking care of their household "Spring Cleaning" while truly benefiting their community.

On Tuesday, May 20th from 7:00 to 8:30pm, in downtown Winslow, a panel will discuss why there is currently a local grassroots effort to get big money out of politics and reclaim our Democracy. Panelists will be Fran Korten, publisher of Yes! Magazine (a nonprofit magazine published on Bainbridge, now in its 18th year); Peter Denis, who has taught on the law faculty of the University of Washington, and Dee Eisenhauer, Pastor of EHCC. In this podcast episode of "What's Up Bainbridge", panelist Fran Korten offers her thoughts and anecdotes about the local relevance of these issues, and describes the upcoming meeting. Two recent decisions of the US Supreme Court that have abolished the spending limits of our election campaign laws. In January 2010, in the "Citizens United" case, a 5-member Court majority abolished limits on election campaign donations, including money donated by corporations. And in April 2014 in the "McCutcheon" case, the same 5 members eliminated limits on combined contributions to multiple candidates around the country. At the May 20th local public meeting described in this podcast, the panel will describe grassroots efforts that are currently underway to obtain sufficient petition signatures to put the I-1329 ballot measure on this November's ballot in Washington. I-1329 would call for a US Constitutional amendment to override the Supreme Court's holdings and authorize dollar limits on election campaign donations. The 90-minute public meeting will be at Eagle Harbor Congregational Church (EHCC), at the corner of Winslow Way and Madison Avenue, in downtown Winslow.
