BIMA film

Bainbridge Island Museum of Art will be showing the film “Reckoning with Resistance” March 29 at Frank Buxton Auditorium.

Film showings are at 2 and 7 p.m.

The movie is about Japanese Americans refusing to be drafted into World War II from a concentration camp in Wyoming. It led to the biggest trial for draft resistance in U.S. history.

On March 30, there will be a free discussion with special guest Kerry Yo Nakagawa at 7 p.m. online. He founded the nonprofit Nisei Baseball Research Project and produced the film “American Pastime.” Registration is required at www.biartmuseum.org

Home buying help

Since the late 1990s, Habitat for Humanity of Kitsap County has helped nearly 100 families achieve their dream of homeownership.

The organization is accepting applications for its Affordable Homeownership program until March 31.

Three criteria must be met:

• Potential homebuyers are in need of better housing if they are dealing with poorly made, unhealthy or inadequate housing; unaffordable rent; homes inaccessible for their disabilities or damaged by natural disaster.

• A potential homebuyer is offered an affordable mortgage where the payment is based not on the home’s value, but on the family’s income. Mortgage payments cycle back into the community to help build more affordable houses.

• A potential homebuyer is willing to partner if they agree to volunteer 250 hours of “sweat equity” to build their own home and the homes of others in the program.

For details call Lauren Pitt at 360-479-3853 or email LPitt@Kitsaphabitat.org.

Tentacle art

A piece of art that looks like a giant tentacle is going up at the KidsUp! Playground at Battle Point Park.

Indianola artist David Franklin made the piece. The bronze tentacle looks like it is riding up from the deep.

A celebration of the artwork will take place from 10 a.m. to noon April 9.

Attendees will be able to snack on an octopus cookie.
