The Park Board and director need to be applauded for their diligent work. However, we have a philosophical difference. We would be willing to support the 25 percent going to M & O, but the 75 percent going to more open space and further development is what we oppose.
Is there voter fraud in Kitsap County?
I have family, business and social interests that I see are under siege here on Bainbridge and in Kitsap County at large. The problem comes from self-serving special interests and failed government.
The Kitsap County Noxious Weed Control Board is going before the Kitsap County Commissioners to request an increased assessment to restore the capacity of the Noxious Weed Control Program and to fund it adequately for the next three to four years. We are requesting an increase from $1 to $2 per parcel in the annual assessment to each property owner. It is important that the citizens of Kitsap County understand why we are making this request.

A Godly rebuttal to Tyner’s columns
For many years, the Bainbridge Review has provided Tom Tyner with a weekly space to publicly air his ramblings on life (mostly his life) with the community. Recently, his column increasingly contains his take on theology, primarily in a manner of mocking smugness over those who believe in the God of the Bible.

I found the time to go and attend the last hour of Saturday’s Strawberry Plant Park meeting. It turned out it was an invitation-only meeting. I was able to sneak in and listen to what the various five groups had to propose. I also read a letter sent by city planner Libby Hudson to the editor of the Review since – according to her – the editorial “included some misconceptions and misinterpretations” of the event.
Our family recently purchased an electric vehicle. We’re in that little red, mini-mini-van looking thing tooling around the roads of Bainbridge Island. We call it “Wattson.”
Four days ago I bought an Obama-Biden yard sign from the local Democrat headquarters for $5 and planted it on our front yard, not far from the road. Within hours the sign had been taken away by a person unknown.
Laurie Rice suggested in her letter to the editor (“Go green(backs)! Ride that bus,” Sept. 17) that parents of school age children pack the school buses on Bus Count Week. Packing the school busses during Bus Count Week would cause the state to overpay the school district for the services actually provided. Excuse me, isn’t that cheating? What kind of a lesson are you teaching your children? Are you saying it is OK to cheat the state out of money because you believe school busses are good or the schools need more money?
The first Bainbridge Youth Market and Garden Exchange was held Sept. 13, and was a big success largely due to the generosity of Linda Brandt. Linda owns the building on Madrone Lane where Mora Ice Cream is located, and is letting us use the lot above it for our Youth Market every Saturday. She also purchased for us two large canopies.
