Did You Know about the Grant? - 07/06/10 06:54 PM
Bainbridge Island is one of only 20 communities to win a multimillion dollar federal grant designed to help homeowners and businesses retrofit existing homes to achieve lower energy costs.  To implement this, the Conservation Services Group will assess homes and give them a list of upgrades and retrofits.  This assessment is a step towards eligibility for a low interest loan program funded by the grant.  Additionally, Conservation Services will give out some small free upgrades like low-flow shower heads and fluorescent light bulbs.

In 1942, two months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the U.S. government issued Executive Order 9066 authorizing the relocation of 110,000 people of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast in order to incarcerate them in isolated and desolate concentration camps. 
Exclusion Order No. 1, authorizing the first relocation, targeted the Japanese Americans living on Bainbridge Island, Washington.  One of them was 31-year-old Fumiko Hayashida, a pregnant mother of two.
