Milk cartons

Two Poulsbo employees have had their designs picked for the cartons of Town & Country’s new EveryDay Milk line.

Kimberly Garcia and Aisling Beh were among six employees from Western Washington whose designs were selected. The market already branded its free-range eggs, and will be branding coffee, honey and syrup this year.

The winners received gift cards. They were selected because of their “tie in with milk, appropriateness of content and overall awesomeness,” a news release says. “It’s been a lot of fun to see what everyone created,” said Susan Allen, director of T&C Markets.

Man hit twice

A 33-year-old man has died after being struck by two cars just before midnight Feb. 23.

Officials from the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office say the man was walking eastbound in the 7400 block of SE Mile Hill Drive, just south of Manchester.

The man was hit first by a vehicle driven by a 52-year-old around 11:46 p.m. After she stopped, officials say the man was struck again by a 55-year-old male driver.

KCSO evaluated both drivers on-site and did not detect any signs of impaired driving. The investigation is ongoing.

Climate change

Seattle science journalist and author Madeline Ostrander will be the keynote speaker at the 2023 Bainbridge Island Environmental Conference,

The conference is noon-5 p.m. March 25, at Bainbridge High School. Breakout sessions will look at impacts on BI shorelines, forests, air quality, transportation, infrastructure and sense of place.

Ostrander’s book, “At Home on an Unruly Planet,” examines how climate change has destabilized our fundamental notions of “home” — shattering our sense of safety and sanctuary in familiar places, compelling us to find new reserves of strength, adaptation and connection.

It is presented by Sustainable Bainbridge, EcoAdapt, the BI Parks & Trails Foundation, the BI Land Trust and IslandWood. Register at www.islandwood.org
