A homegrown team burns rubber at the strip Wagons of Steel proves drag racing isn’t just for hot rods
By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
Islander Chris Barnes’ road to drag racing began at a California art school in the late 1980s. As the publisher of a “zine” — a small photocopied magazine — Barnes went to a drag race thinking he’d write an article. Instead, he got hooked. “I thought, ‘This is what I was born to do,’” he recalled. “That’s when it all started.” Two decades and several race cars later, Barnes, 46, and his race partner Chris Brenno, also 46, now race the fastest station wagon on the planet with their Island drag racing team Wagons of Steel. “I always thought cars were cool. I never thought I’d be a drag racer, though. I had no idea the sport even existed ’til I had this stupid magazine,” Barnes said, laughing, as he and Brenno, who works at Sawbones, stood outside the shop next to his home on Westside Highway one warm evening. Their prized ’64 Plymouth Savoy was parked under cover behind them, plastered with sponsor stickers and the words “Wagons of Steel”

Barnes, the team owner, still periodically publishes the zine — also called “Wagons of Steel” — but it’s now all about the team of a half-dozen Islanders and its classic station wagons, vehicles that have been turning heads at dragracing competitions up and down
the West Coast. As the men shot the breeze, it looked to be a regular night for the two car lovers, who slowly nursed microbrews and were joined by teammate Step Graves, another long-time Islander who they affectionately call a Rastafarian and who details all the team’s cars.
“People are amazed,” Barnes said of the cars. “People who have never seen a classic race car from the 70s.” Barnes’ 5-year-old daughter Caroline ran in and out of the shop, often jumping up into her SEE RACING, 16
An actor turned storyteller pays a visit By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Staff Writer
Stephen Tobolowsky
75¢
When an actor has appeared in hundreds of Hollywood films and television shows and hobnobbed with countless famous movie stars, directors and musicians, you might think he’d have some stories to tell. But in the case of Stephen Tobolowsky, the consummate character actor who will make a special appearance on Vashon later this month, that assessment is just the beginning. Tobolowsky, in fact, has parlayed his tales of
more than 30 years of life, love and the entertainment industry into a whole new career as a storyteller. His podcast and radio show, “The Tobolowsky Files,” launched in 2009, includes his take on such films as “Groundhog Day,” in which he played the obnoxious insurance salesman Ned Ryerson. But it also goes much deeper than that. The show has won raves from listeners and critics, including one reviewer for National Public Radio who called it “funny, ... fascinating ... (and) filled with little bites of wisdom you’ll take with you.” SEE STORYTELLER, 18
This school year a full-time substance abuse counselor will work to address an issue that has generated increasing concern on Vashon: the Island’s high rates of teen alcohol and marijuana use. Terri Tilotta, who just started as the school district’s new prevention and intervention specialist, will split her time between the middle school and high school, working with students, teachers and parents to bring Vashon’s substance abuse rates more in line with state averages. The new position and accompanying curriculum are largely funded by a state grant the school district received to participate in a pilot program for small districts. Three other school districts in the Puget Sound Educational Services District (PSESD) and several more across the state were also chosen for the program, which the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction created in an effort to redistribute drug prevention funding to school districts that need it most, providing them with the on-site specialist. Vashon School District Superintendent Michael Soltman said he was happy Vashon was chosen to participate in the pilot program. Over the last few years, the state’s Healthy Youth Survey results showed that at some grade levels on Vashon, alcohol and marijuana use is significantly higher than the state average. “I think we have a really difficult drug problem here in our community,” Soltman said. “Having a focused resource that provides both intervention and prevention services has been missing in terms of us being able to deal with this problem.” SEE SPECIALIST, 19

7BTIPO 'BNJMZ 1SBDUJDF DMPTFT JUT EPPST Dr. Sjardo Steneker closed Vashon Family Practice on Friday, laying off a few employees and marking the end of the clinic’s seven-year history on the Island. His decision came after a state health law judge denied a motion filed by his lawyer Bob Krinsky asking that the judge’s decision suspending Steneker’s license be stayed and that Steneker, a family practice doctor who carried a high patient load on Vashon, be allowed to practice medicine on probation. Steneker now has until Oct. 6 to file an appeal of the judge’s decision, which found him guilty of unprofessional conduct because of what the state considered to be inappropriate contact with five female patients. Krinsky said Steneker likely won’t appeal the order, a 19-page decision that forbids him from practicing for five years. Meanwhile, Dr. Nicole Maxwell, a naturopath who worked for Steneker at his clinic, will open up her own practice in the Cunningham Building on Bank Road, where Studio 202 was located. She hopes to have her clinic ready to go by next week.
Maxwell and her husband Daniel Macca had considered taking over Steneker’s practice and running the clinic, a state-of-theart facility just south of the Vashon Theatre, but changed their minds after looking at the numbers. “The overhead was going to be just too expensive for us. Financially it was just too difficult,� she said. Krinsky said he and Steneker are still figuring out how to get records to Steneker’s hundreds of patients. More information will be forthcoming, he said. “It is very important that people have access to their records,� Krinsky said. “He is taking steps to notify his patients how to transfer records.� Steneker had kept his clinic open since the July 6 decision, using a part-time registered nurse to supplement Maxwell’s practice. Dr. Nicole Maxwell’s office is located at 9929 Bank Road. Her number will be the same as Vashon Family Practice — 463-2800. Her website is www.nicolemaxwell.com.
#BOHBTTFS "MMFO DBO U SFBDI BHSFFNFOU PWFS -PPQ QVSDIBTF Vashon businessman Tom Bangasser will not purchase The Loop after all, according to Steven Allen, publisher and editor of the twice-monthly paper. Allen said the two had a hand-shake agreement, leading to last week’s announcement. But when Allen took a look at the lengthy contract Bangasser’s lawyer had drawn up, he realized the two were not in complete agreement, he said. “What Tom and I talked about verbally we just haven’t been able to manifest into a document we can sign,� Allen said. “It’s just not there.� Asked where the biggest differences lay, Allen said it centered in part around The Loop’s outstanding debt, which he incurred when he took the paper over from Troy Kindred and Marie Browne. Bangasser, he said, wasn’t willing to
assume that debt. “And I didn’t want to be under that burden anymore,� Allen said. Bangasser declined a request for comment from The Beachcomber, saying in an email that the paper does “not always reflect either the context or content of our conversations� and that his request for corrections goes unreported. Bangasser resigned from the VashonMaury Island Community Council’s board Sept. 1 in light of his decision to purchase The Loop. In an email to the board, he said it was in the council’s best interest that he step down because of his “plan to assume owner/publisher responsibilities for the Vashon Loop newspaper.� Tim Johnson, who chairs VMICC’s board, said Bangasser’s decision cannot be rescinded. “Officially, it has been made and accepted,� Johnson said.

A new group wants to help Vashon residents take charge of their health By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
In her 30 years as a primary care physician, Dr. Kathleen Davis treated many people facing serious diseases they could have prevented with the right diet, sufficient exercise and other healthy lifestyle choices. Now, she and several other Islanders have created a program designed to help people make those choices and improve the quality of their lives. The program, called Shape Up, Vashon, or SUV for short, will debut this weekend when its organizers staff a booth at the Vashon Farmers Market, where they will take blood pressures, do confidential weighins and determine people’s body mass index. The group will also offer a three-minute fitness test, provide health and wellness information and enroll Islanders in this new group. Following the market, organizers will offer a six-minute walking test between McMurray and Vashon High School. Once members, people will have access to a range of resources designed to make getting and staying healthy a little bit easier, Davis said, with potentially large rewards. “Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, depression and certain cancers — all of these can be prevented entirely or their onset delayed, and if you have them, they can be improved,� she said. A recent study has also found that aerobic exercise can also help prevent dementia, she noted. With those statistics in mind, Davis and volunteers on the group’s steering committee — including Davis’ husband, emergency room physician-turned personal trainer Chris Davis — hope to make it easy for

tive cardiologist, who said he has been part of the SUV project from the beginning. “Our goal is to empower people to look after themselves,� he said. Currently, Davis noted, the United States ranks first in obesity, and two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese. “We have an obesogenic culture,� she said. Restaurants foods are laden with calories; junk food is cheap; high fructose corn syrup abounds; jobs are sedentary and there is not an emphasis on everyday exercise. Still, Davis said, change is beginning. She drew the inspiration for SUV from Get Fit Colville, a program in Eastern Washington begun by Dr. Barry Bacon, a family practice physician. After a little more than three years, Colville residents have lost more than 6,000 pounds and have made a commitment to reduce childhood obesity in their community. Vashon’s program, Davis and other organizers note, is an invitation to everyone across the age spectrum and with varying physical abilities, and those who need to start small should not be discouraged if they need to begin with small steps. “Everybody can improve,� Davis said.

Long-awaited Beall Well is now pumping water By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
Water District 19’s Beall Well quietly went online last month, six years after Vashon’s largest water purveyor began working to develop the source in an effort to respond to a multiyear moratorium for new shares. The well will produce up to 80 gallons a minute, far less than the district’s engineers initially estimated but still a substantial increase in the agency’s overall output. According to Jeff Lakin, District 19’s manager, water from the Beall Well will increase the agency’s capacity by 10 to 15 percent. “It’s significant news,� said Steven Haworth, who chairs the district’s threeperson commission. “It’s been expected for so long.� Several problems have beset the project, making it both costlier and more complex than the district had anticipated. The latest issue was a discovery last year that water from the well contained nearly four times the level of arsenic allowed in domestic drinking supplies. The district found a way around that problem, blending water from Beall Creek with water from the Beall Well, a process that dilutes the arsenic to levels below the federal limit. Federal standards allow no more than 10 parts per billion (PPB) of arsenic. Blended with creek water, arsenic in the Beall Well’s water is now five to six PPB, said Haworth. But the fix took a long time, largely, Lakin said, because of personnel changes and other issues at the state Department of Health, which had to approve the
blending process. “It took a good three months to get all of the questions answered,� he said. District 19 commissioners said the addition of the Beall Well will not lower the agency’s water quality. The district already has another well that contains arsenic, said Bob Powell, a commissioner. What’s more, the Beall Well will likely only be used in the summer months, when demand for water is at a peak, he said. “I think the water is going to be as safe as any state or federal standards expect it to be,� said Haworth. “We wouldn’t produce water if it weren’t safe. I’m a customer, too.� The additional capacity is particularly noteworthy because of what it might mean for the district’s long waiting list, currently about 300-shares long. The district declared a moratorium 15 years ago because it couldn’t meet peak demand. With additional water from the Beall Well and the Morgan Well, plus water that has
resulted from increased conservation measures by the district’s customers, commissioners will likely be able to issue several additional shares next year as part of its budget process. Haworth said he believes the district could issue as many as 25 new shares, the biggest addition since the moratorium began. “I think we could start making a dent in that waiting list,� he said. But Powell said he believes the district can’t issue any additional shares until the new well has been online for several months. The district has struggled with unreliable sources in the past, he said. This new well will have to prove itself. “We have the paper ability to issue new shares,� he said. “There’s the separate question of prudence. Out of the long-term concern for our community’s well-being, we want to have some feeling of confidence in the Beall and Morgan Hill sources.� Should new shares be issued, the first name on
the list is Douglas Kelbaugh, a professor of architecture and urban planning at the University of Michigan. According to the King County assessor, Kelbaugh and his wife Kathleen Nolan own nearly 10 acres in Vashon town — a parcel accessible via a skinny strip of land on Bank Road. All told, Kelbaugh has sought 23 shares, Lakin said; he’s bought a few of them over the last few years, when shares have become available from those who no longer wanted theirs, Lakin added. Reached via email in Ann Arbor, Mich., Kelbaugh said the lot is zoned for up to 19 dwellings. The couple bought the 10-acre parcel several years ago because of its potential for a development and its close proximity to Vashon town, he said, but he added that they have no immediate or definite plans for the site. “The property seems ripe for development as a compact residential village, but how, by whom, and when remain to seen,� he said.
4BXCPOFT XJOT XBUFS DPOTFSWBUJPO BXBSE Water District 19 has given Pacific Research its first-ever Conservation Champion Award, a commendation the company received because of its effective use of rainwater to irrigate its landscaping, according to the water utility. Pacific Research, also known as Sawbones, has cut its peak summertime use by 47 percent — or 110,000 gallons — by using a rainwater storage and pumping system to handle its irrigation, said District 19 manager
Jeff Lakin. The company is also saving water by irrigating early in the morning Pacific Research installed the new system in 2009, when it expanded its building on S.W. 188th Street. “While our conservation program stresses year-round stewardship, we focus primarily on irrigation, since it is the most significant load on our system and reducing it is the highest hurdle toward reducing the number of people on our waiting list,� Lakin said.

By BRIAN BROWN
It’s good news that the Vashon Island School District was awarded a contract enabling it to house a professional in the area of teen substance abuse. The new hire, announced last week, represents one more step in an ongoing effort on the community’s part to address a vexing problem on Vashon. It’s also encouraging that Superintendent Michael Soltman is not mincing words when it comes to describing the situation. Vashon, he said, has a “difficult drug problem.� The solutions, though, are remarkably elusive.

But such work is slow-going and daunting, and while important steps are being taken, their impact — especially midstream — is hard to discern. Indeed, until the effort becomes truly broad-based — involving an across-the-board spectrum of parents, community activists, coaches, teachers and businesspeople — it seems likely that the kind of wholesale change the coalition seeks will not take place. Beyond the tight-knit circle of those who are in the trenches, the attitude on Vashon seems largely lackadaisical. There’s little outrage, for instance, that stores are selling cigarettes to minors, little concern about the results of a sting operation a couple of years ago that found several outlets selling alcohol to minors. Sheriff’s deputies are largely absent at night, failing to patrol — or so it seems — the party hotspots on Vashon. Part of the problem, it seems, is an ironic one: On the surface, our kids are doing all right. They’re in musicals and sports, graduating from high school, heading off to decent colleges. But that veneer masks a reality that some parents and community activists know all too well: Plenty of teens are falling through the cracks, failing — sometimes profoundly — to reach their potential; many others are heading off to college or other ventures without the skills in place to confront a culture of use and abuse. We wish Terri Tilotta, the new substance abuse counselor, success. She has walked into her new job with ideas already in hand. But she alone can’t right this ship. The larger community needs to decide this issue matters and step in to help.

The front page of the Aug. 31 issue (“Judge agrees Oregon woman can reopen controversial custody plan�) sensationalizing an Island family’s custody dispute really disturbed me.

televisions on. No ball game today. There was an announcement that blood was needed for the survivors and we should all go to the nearest hospitals to donate. Sheila and I walked up Broadway to St. Luke’s Hospital about a half mile from where we were. We walked eagerly toward the hospital. We had purpose. This was something we could do. It felt good to be walking with others in the direction of the hospital. When we got to St. Luke’s, long lines of people were already there. Nurses and doctors were reporting from all over the city. I saw a celebrity plastic surgeon who was featured on television as the go-to guy for facelifts and wrinkles. Yet there he was. Cynical me was moved. We were divided into lines by blood types. Sheila and I stood in the A line for an hour or more, trading stories and speculating on the attacks. At some point it dawned on us that the lines were not moving. With that came the realization that there were no survivors. Nor were there going to be any survivors from those incinerated buildings. There was no one to give blood to. It was all we had to give, and there was no one to give it to. It hit me suddenly and clearly. The victims of 9/11 were gone and there was nothing we could do about it. Sheila and I walked home in silence.

This is what I remember about 9/11, the day it happened, 10 years ago. I was at home with my wife Sheila in our apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Our building was situated about five miles north of the World Trade Center. The day broke beautifully — brilliant sunshine with a slight breeze coming off the Hudson River, which was only a few blocks to the west of us. It was the start of Indian summer, a good day to go to the beach, I thought. My daughter Lisa was visiting us from Seattle. She and a friend had gone out early for a cup of coffee. When she returned, our doorman told her a plane had crashed into the Twin Towers. I remember thinking that was odd because the visibility was so good. As a boy, I recalled a military bomber had flown into the Empire State Building shortly after World War II. I can still remember the photograph in the New York Daily News of the front of the plane protruding from one side of the building and the tail from the other side. The pilot had tragically miscalculated his elevation in a thick fog. I was sharing this irrelevant fact when another of Lisa’s friends arrived and said the doorman told her a second plane had flown into the WTC. George, the Dominican doorman, was replacing Dan Rather as our source of news.
I switched on the TV, and we watched in horror, along with the rest of the nation. Friends called to find out if we were OK. We called others to reassure and listen. News on the TV was mesmerizing. We kept switching channels for new information. After a couple of hours, Sheila and I left the apartment and started walking along Broadway. The subways and buses had stopped running, which might explain why there were so many people walking on both sides of the street. It struck me as directionless walking, almost sleep walking. A psychiatrist friend later described it as collective shock. That seemed a little strong, but I do remember we broke the city taboo, making eye contact with each other as we passed. It was a reach-out of sorts. Something had happened to us and we looked into each other’s eyes for some kind of assurance and acknowledgement. Sheila saw some neighbors we rarely socialize with having a cup of coffee at an outdoor cafÊ. We stopped and joined them. Others stopped as well. We gathered in the company of each other. There was a comfort in that and also a bonding among us. Our city had been hit and we were shaken. Fire trucks and ambulances continually raced downtown. People on the sidewalks cheered as they went by. Police helicopters swirled overhead. Some of us carried portable radios. We listened and looked in the windows of bars that had their

wonder if individual reporters ever stop for a moment to put themselves in the shoes of those they report on. I am sure any given reporter will experience, if they haven’t already, some form of tragedy in their lives, their family or close friend’s lives. Alcoholism, drug abuse, loss of a spouse, parent, child or friend to illness or suicide, financial ruin or mental illness eventually touches all of our lives one way or another. I wish when publishers print and report material in their local community especially, they would realize that what they print can hit home pretty hard, especially when children are involved. Often the damage is done after the fact. The Vashon community is an amazing place, with much of the support aimed at supporting Island kids. How do articles that have been published recently in this paper support those children involved in that custody dispute? I’ll continue to read The Beachcomber weekly and read all about our friends and neighbors. But I am hoping in the issues to come, The Beachcomber staff will take a step back and remember that we are Island friends and neighbors and remember the impact the words and pictures they print can make, on children especially. — Chris Jovanovich

Those moments on Vashon that become the stuff of lore There are Island moments, and then there are did-that-just-happen? Island moments, the ones that you pass down to your children and grandchildren as family myths, told so many times they morph into wondrous tales that leave listeners awestruck and incredulous. I had one last week. No, two. We pull onto the ferry after a long, six-day family reunion in faraway California — so glad to be in our weird little state-run, union-gig wormhole portal across the great waters to home. We’re at the front of the boat, right side. “Now arriving Vashon, this is Vashon Island, this boat is going out of service, etc.� I turn the key: “Click, click, click.� Oh no, please no. If you’ve never had your battery die on the boat, you haven’t lived. It’s awesome. We moved to the Island in 1989 with a VW bus, and it would die on a weekly basis. You had to squirm underneath with a hammer and whack the solenoid, or push-start it by coercing the help of sympathetic, competent, normal people. Then they got to tell their kids about helping some moronic suffering artists with a flamboyantly painted van — neat! This was before the yellow boxy ferry mini-truck thing that is so useful these days. Which brings us back to our story.
ISLAND WAYS By KEVIN JOYCE “Click, click, click.� OK, keep your head down, nobody knows your new pick-up. The ferry worker comes over, since we’re in the front, and gives us that “you pathetic idiot� look I haven’t seen in 15 years. OK, three. I make the mistake of looking up just as a particularly together (can I say smug?) Island friend drives by in their impossibly spotless new-model car and smiles sympathetically. Up ‘til then, it was the worst moment. The cars all pull around us, and a ferry worker comes rumbling onto the boat in the yellow thing. They are glad to help; it’s fun to drive the yellow thing. They pull up behind, and the driver calls: “OK, I’m gonna push you up the ramp, then gun it, then stop, and you let out the clutch!� “Yup�, I say, “done this before.� They bump us lightly, we get to the top, then we speed up, but don’t seem to be “released� yet. Then there’s a queasy, squealing machine-whine behind us,

With deepest thanks‌ We would like to express our deepest and warmest thanks to the people of Vashon Island. The kindness and generosity of all of you has been a blessing beyond belief. Because of the love and compassion that has been shown, it has helped our family to feel comfort in an uncomfortable time. Within our family, we have a sense of calm and a realization that everything will be alright. Considering we are just a few days removed from a house fire that claimed almost all we own‌.this is amazing! “Our communityâ€? has given reason to rejoice and see good under devastating circumstances. It is emotionally uplifting and moving the way in which Vashon has rallied around us. We have lived on island for 10 months and have been treated as if we have been around for ten years. We are blessed to be among you and we are deeply touched by the outpouring of support. There are no words to fully express our gratitude but Thank You from the bottom of our hearts. With Love and Appreciation, The Peterson Family‌ Wes, Lisbeth, Elan, Brennan, Josiah, and Soren

A Wonderful Splash We would like to thank the pool staff, club members, and Board at the Vashon Golf and Swim Club for allowing us the opportunity to rent their swimming pool this past summer. We had over 300 Cancer affected and special needs campers and staff benefit from swimming at their pool. Everyone loved the pool, the easy access into the pool, the warm water, and the secluded environment. Our leaders were very complimentary about the pool staff, how courteous and professional they were, and how easy and pleasant they were to work with, especially the Supervisor Dayna Rogers. On a day I was able to visit I sensed a comfortable and safe environment and the campers, whether they were swimming or lounging on the deck, seemed like they were relaxing at a fancy resort with five star service. Thank you! Kathleen Hendrickson, Executive Director Camp Burton
followed by a jerking stop and someone screaming: “I’m stuck on your bumper!� I jump out of the car and run back to see that in fact, the tire of the yellow thing is inexplicably lodged onto our bumper. The ferry worker says again, “I’m stuck on your bumper!� — which, I decide not to point out, is redundant. They reach down, yank and come up holding something metal, saying: “This thing was stuck under the accelerator!� — which of course explains everything. I look back to notice scores of people in the ferry line craning their necks to get a look at the commotion. Some seem to have cameras. OK, several hours later, this is super funny. Pretty sure I’ve used up my absurd factor for the week, we head to KVI on Sunday for what feels like
the last day of summer. Late morning, as a bank of fog still hovers over the beach, it is like Avalon, at the lowest tide I can remember. The sand spit is out, so we all run down there, and since the tide is still going out, I drop my Crocs on that first bit of smooth sand. We run, we cavort,

like I need to hear it again, “your shoes, dude!� My daughter and her friend run breakneck to save them and get one. I run, too — unable to stop myself since they cost $32 and I just got them — deeper and deeper, in my clothes, into the horrible freezing water, then dive and swim to retrieve my plastic shoe. Everyone who observes this is having serious bladder issues from laughter. Why do you live here? No really, why? Is it for that only-on-Vashon thing?

Q: A:

We are getting ready to put our home on the market and wonder about adding granite counter tops. Everyone seems to expect that but we don’t want to spend anything that won’t get us a better price.
I wish no one had ever heard of granite counters! They can be burned, they can be cut and scratched, they are cold, and they are just rock for heavens sake! They will be “out� soon enough and some other ridiculous thing will be touted by all the folks waiting to make money off of everyone by convincing us that we must have this newest thing! (Sorry, but this is really one of my hot buttons) If you really want to do something worthwhile, have a home inspection done by a licensed and certified home inspector. Fix everything. If you can’t afford to fix anything, then put it all in your seller’s disclosure (you are required to fill these out) and say right up front that you won’t fix those items. Then price the place accordingly. I can’t tell you the number of homes I’ve shown with beautiful kitchen remodels but with rotting decks, leaking roofs and faulty electrical systems. You need to know what a potential buyer’s inspector will find and fix it. You could save your sale. Buyers often walk away from a house with too many things wrong. During a recent inspection, my buyer and I admired the lovely floor tiles in the bathroom but discovered when the inspector went under the house, that the bathroom sink and tub leaked. They had been leaking so long the floor was rotted out. That means those lovely tiles will have to come up and the entire floor replaced. These kinds of problems can be avoided by getting a complete inspection before you list your house. Be sure you get an inspector certified to do the pest inspection too. It should be no secret that we all have rodent roommates. Get them taken care of before the buyer has to hear about it from their own inspector.

In celebration of art
Vashon Allied Arts is in the midst of fi nal preparations for its annual twonight fundraising gala — an extrava-
ganza where the work of more than 100 Island artists will be auctioned off in a lavish tent erected on the grounds of the Blue Heron Art Center. But this year, as in years past, a special spotlight will shine on six local artists
Elaine Summers will contribute a red, wh ite and blue mosaicked guitar
who have been commissioned to create works especially for the event. These artists include two painters, a sculptor, a wood carver, a mosaic artist and another artist whose work is an incredible combination of silversmithing, embroidery and woodworking. Here’s a look at those artists.
that reflects her love of both music and visual art. As a musician, Summers has three solo records to her credit and five with her creative and life partner Pete Droge. But for the past 12 years, she has also been creating beautiful mosaics — 900 pieces to date. Her colorful works include a mosaic for the Dockton Trails Obelisk, signs at McMurray Middle School and the Burton Coffee Stand and countless fiberglass dogs, cats and other critters. Her guitar will be auctioned Saturday night.
— Elizabeth Shepherd
Painter Gret chen Hancock, wh o lives in Dockton, creates all kinds of paintings, from small acrylic works to larger oil landscapes. For VAA’s auction, she has contributed a triptych of 10� x 10� still life perspectives of oranges. The works, painted on canvas panels, glued to boards and then floated onto a simple black wood frame, will be offered up for auction on Friday night.
Longtime Islander Art Hansen was 22 years old in 1952 when he won a
Pulitzer Prize for art and had his first solo exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum. The following year, he won a Fullbright Scholarship to study art in Germany at the Academie der Bilenden Kunste in Munich. Today, Hansen’s work — filled with images inspired by the natural beauty of Vashon Island — is included in many private and public art collections. Hansen’s piece for VAA’s auction, “Poppy,� reflects his love of flowers and gardening. The piece will be auctioned off at Saturday night’s auction.
Nancy Sipp le is one of Vashon’s most accomplished and multifacet ed artist s. She is a master of needlework and
has received wide recognition for her quilts, heirloom sewing, embroidered pieces and crewel work. If it involves the fiber arts, Sipple can do it — from beading, to basket making, weaving and costume design. On top of all that, she is also a highly accomplished watercolorist, pen-and-ink artist, silversmith and woodworker. Her piece for VAA, “Vanity,� combines many of these talents in a flawlessly constructed one-of-a-kind dresser set that includes a wooden tray adorned with an ornately embroidered peacock under glass and a silver-embellished wooden brush, comb and hand mirror. The piece will be auctioned on Friday.
Odin Lonning, an Islander wh o was born in Juneau, Alaska,
Sculptor Gus Schairer is an award-winning sculptor
whose works are included in many private collections throughout the United States. He crafts his sculptures using a set of chisels, created by a friend in Italy, that are replicas of the kind of tools Michelangelo might have used. His commissioned work, “Joy Spring,� is made of African wonder stone. It will be auctioned on Friday.
has contributed a piece called “Killer Whale Matriarchs� for the auction. Carved from red cedar and painted with traditional Tlingit colors, the work is reflective of Lonning’s focus on instilling pride in Native youth. Lonning is widely recognized for his painted wood carvings, drums, leather painting and graphic designs. His work is on display at Everett Community College, the Seattle Aquarium and in private homes from Seattle to Paris. “Killer Whale Matriarchs� will be auctioned on Saturday night.
Vashon Allied Arts’ annual auction — Hooray For Hollywood! Lights, Camera, Auction! — will be held from 5:30 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Sept. 23 and 24, at the Blue Heron Art Center. Tickets for Friday night are $45, for Saturday night $120. For ticket information, visit www.vashonalliedarts.org or call 463-5131.
Ghosted in the background is Art Hansen’s “Poppy.� Photos of Sipple, Lonning, Summers and Hancock are by Janice Randall. Photos of Hansen and Schairer are by Eric Horsting.

SCENES FROM A SUMMER NIGHT Hundreds of Islanders turned out for Vashon’s first-ever Big Square Street Dance Saturday afternoon and evening, when a portion of downtown was closed off to traffic, several bands took to a flatbed truck-turned-makeshift stage and families and couples danced, swung, twirled and bopped. The weather was ideal — a sultry afternoon followed by a night brightly lit by a full moon. Debi Richards, executive director of the Vashon Island Chamber of Commerce, said she and other organizers were pleased with the event, a chamber program that was sponsored by several Island businesses. “We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful evening,� she said. Particularly fun, she said, was Jackie Merrill’s “rootbeer garden,� a fundraiser for a Chautauqua Elementary School program, where Merrill sold chili, cornbread, rootbeer and snowcones. “It was a family-driven evening,� Richards said. -BSSZ )VHHJOT 1IPUPT

Cross country runners beat the heat Team has a strong showing at its first meet of the season By KEVIN ROSS For The Beachcomber
The Vashon Pirate cross country team is off and running. Normally this fall sport involves running through leaves on damp, cool days. However, this was not the case on Thursday, Sept. 8, at Fort Steilacoom, where summer was in full force at 86 degrees at race time. Both the girls and boys teams competed well for their first race of the season, where they went up against five other high schools. For some it was the first race of their career.
The boys took fourth out of six teams, and the girls took third out of six teams. This year’s cross country team includes 11 boys, six girls and three middle school runners. Returning for the boys team are Ryan Krug, Codi Williams, DJ Barnes and Kenese Parker, who is the lone senior. Newcomers to the program are Philip Vandevanter, Aaron Kitchener, Sage Levin and Nathan Williams, who participated in middle school cross country. The boy’s team is rounded out with two exchange students: Magnus Walgren from Sweden and Daniel Schwarz from Liechtenstein. Returning for the girls team are Peri Roberts and Erica Walker, who are seniors. Joining them for another
season of cross country are Madi Groen and Lydia Houston. The newcomers for the girls program are Anna Ripley and Ella Maierhofer. Representing the McMurray Mustangs for middle school cross country are Eva Cyra, Camryn Kim-Murphy and Jeffrey Parrish. Tomorrow the Pirates will host Orting and Life Christian for a meet on the VHS campus. Vashon’s cross country course loops around the high school and McMurray ball fields, along with sections of wooded trails. The meet kicks off with a 3K (1.8-mile) middle school race at 3:40 p.m., followed by the 5K (3.1-mile) boys and girls high school races. — Kevin Ross is a cross country coach at Vashon High School.
final score to 48-7. “I liked our effort in the second half,� Eastly said. The Pirates entered the game at a disadvantage, Eastly noted, with only 19 players suited up. The Lions had more players, as well as older players. Eastly said the team would continue to train hard, and he hopes to see some a more sustained effort as they go up against Port Townsend this weekend. “There were good things on offense we did,� he said. “We just need to learn the sustained drive and punch it in for a score.� The Pirates will take on the Port Townsend Redskins in an away game at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Vashon High School’s young football team took another tough loss in its second game of the season, falling to the Lakeside Lions, 48-7, at an away game last Friday. VHS football coach Clay Eastly said the team just didn’t seem ready to play when it arrived at Lakeside in the afternoon heat. The Lions scored most of their points in the first half of the game, entering halftime up 41-0. However, the Pirates seemed to shift gears in the second half, fighting off the Lions and keeping them to just seven more points for the rest of the game. “The whole team played better in the second half,� Eastly said. Sophomore quarterback Nick Amundsen scored the Pirates’ only touchdown, bringing the

An annual tradition: Classic bikes make their way down the Island More than 1,000 motorcycle riders flocked to Vashon last weekend for the 29th annual Isle of Vashon ride hosted by Seattle’s Vintage Motorcycle Enthusiasts. Nine hundred riders registered for the event, and many others turned out to soak in the scene, according to Islander Jody Heintzman, one of the organizers. “We appreciate the community putting up with this event,� he said, noting that he knows some Islanders are fans of the event and others less so. He also gave a nod of appreciation to the Sportsmen’s Club for hosting the lunch and games portion of the day. In an effort to control the size of the gathering, its date has long been a closely held secret. The club only lets its members have access to the information, though it does tell Island restaurants so that they can better accommodate the crowds, he said. The ride itself covers the full length of the Island and takes motorcyclists to Dockton, mostly on vintage bikes. Normandy Park resident and yacht salesman John Swenson — who happens to keep a gleaming restored BSA in his living room — made the trip out this year on his 1970 Moto Guzzi Ambassador. He has ridden in 15 of the rides and plans to keep coming out. “The reason the ride is so fun is that those are some of the nicest roads to ride and some of the best views on the planet — on top of looking at all those old, beautiful classic motorcycles,� he said. — Susan Riemer

father’s arms. Barnes’ wife Noella, who owns a graphic design business, napped inside with the couple’s 7-year-old son. The kids love that their dad races cars, Barnes said. And while his wife doesn’t share his enthusiasm for the sport, she is supportive, he said. Barnes’ custom T-shirt printing business — also called Wagons of Steel, of course — makes enough to support his spendy hobby. “It’s so much fun,� Barnes said. “It’s like a grown-up Hot Wheels.� Though the men’s handful of classic race cars, mostly station wagons, stand up to the competition at a dozen West Coast events a year, they’re humble about their accomplishments. It almost doesn’t matter if they win, they said. “It’s a family-oriented type thing,� Graves said, explaining that so many Islanders, young and old, are either involved in the team’s work or come along for races that it’s as if a family has formed around the cars. “They make everyone feel welcome, even if they don’t know about racing,� Graves said of Barnes and Brenno. “That’s what makes Steel a popular race team, not only here but at the track.� One of the things that first drew Barnes to drag racing, he explained, was that any vehicle could enter races, from golf carts
to snowmobiles. And though most contestants bring souped-up hot rods to the track, Barnes started out with the only set of wheels he owned: a 1972 Chrysler Town & Country station wagon. After fixing up the family-style car and giving it a shiny coat of lime green paint, The Mighty Josephine was ready to enter the stock eliminator category, where cars must be “stock� — meaning their parts haven’t been upgraded, but are equivalent to the ones the cars were originally manufactured with. Barnes’ station wagon could go up against an old Barracuda in one race and a mid-80s Camaro in the next, as all cars were given handicaps based on their weight and horsepower. And though Josephine didn’t look like a hot rod, it wasn’t just a family car, either. As Barnes explained, in the 1960s the auto industry caught on to the drag-racing trend and manufactured some seemingly tame cars with “monster motors� under the hood. Stripped of unneeded weight such as seats, Barnes pushed the station wagon to complete the quarter-mile track in under 12 seconds, a good time for the heavy-weight racer. Today, Barnes’ large, grassy yard is filled with old station wagons he has collected — some rusted and falling apart — mostly to pull parts for the four cars Wagons of Steel currently races. Barnes admits he could have moved on to lighter or more modern race cars, but he simply loves the wagons. “I feel like I’m keeping up a

Chris Barnes, left, and Mike Brenno check out the Savoy’s engine as Barnes’ daughter Caroline looks on. tradition,� he said. “And it’s an easy car to get for almost nothing, and you can spend all the money making it fast.� Stock eliminator is also the toughest category in National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) racing, Barnes said. It’s expensive and time consuming to keep the classic cars on what Brenno, the crew chief and lead mechanic, calls a “jet-helicopter maintenance schedule.� What’s more, they never know what might go wrong with the 60s- and 70s-era cars the day of the big race. “That car will throw a hook at you,� Brenno said. The team has had its difficulties — the Savoy’s engine literally blew up once, forcing a one-year hiatus in its race schedule — but the men have also had success. The Savoy,
which Barnes calls “the same car that Plymouth released for people to drive their kids around,â€? has been known to reach 125 mph by the finish of the quarter-mile track. “When we do win ‌ ,â€? Barnes said. “You better believe it’s a celebration,â€? Brenno interjected. Graves was more eager to tell about his friends’ success. Darting into the shop, he emerged with a trophy topped with a golden figure that at first glance looked to be an Oscar. Wagons of Steel earned the “Wally,â€? — the most prestigious trophy in drag racing, named after NHRA founder Wally Parks — two years ago when the team took champion at a divisional event in Medford, Ore., their biggest win to date.

“That was the coolest thing in my life, next to seeing my kids being born,� Barnes said. Whether they win the event or go out in the first round of the bracket racing, Barnes and Brenno will likely have smiles on their faces. Half the reason they go to the events, Barnes said, is because it’s fun to show off the cars to visitors during the long stretches of down time they have. The team also has a 1970 Chrysler Town & Country, a 1966 Chevy Malibu wagon and a 1966 Plymouth Belvedere named Brutus — their only car that isn’t a station wagon. “What makes it so much fun is it’s like a car show where people actually race the cars that they’re showing,� he said. Steve Payne, the former owner of Vashon Auto Parts, sponsored Wagons of Steel for years and has followed the men’s racing career closely. He said racing station wagons is a unique choice in drag racing, but it’s also what makes the team interesting. “They could have always gone fast if they’d run lighter cars,� Payne said. “They chose to run the big, heavy station wagons because it’s what made them different.� He remembers attending their earliest races, when he along with other Islanders watched the wagons zip down the track; he’s also watched the men grow from novice racers into a winning team. “They started out at the bottom,� he said. “They got to know where they were going, and they gained the respect of other people at the drag strip.�

STORYTELLER CONTINUED FROM 1
The popular podcast is now morphing into a Simon and Schuster book set for publication sometime next year. And Tobolowsky is still a busy actor, with recurring roles on the television shows “Glee� and “Californication.� So why is the Los Angeles-based luminary coming to Vashon, for free, on Friday, Sept. 30, to perform a benefit storytelling performance for Vashon High School’s theater program? Well, appropriately enough, there’s a story there too. It all started a few months ago, when Islander Rebecca Graves read a story in The Beachcomber about an $850,000 budget shortfall affecting the school district. Deep in the article, a list of areas for potential cuts included the drama program. That alarmed Graves, who said that immediately after reading the article, she got “one of those teeny weeny, way in the back of your mind ideas to start taking that on, to make sure the program survived.� Graves’ passion for the drama program is personal. “I’ve seen it save lives,� Graves said, recounting how, as a substitute teacher in the school district, she had seen troubled kids blossom as they performed in school plays. Graves had another impetus to spur her to action; she is currently taking part in a seminar that emphasizes personal growth, and one of the course requirements is that participants initiate a project that will benefit their communities. At first, however, she wasn’t sure what she wanted to do. Then, one day, while listening
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
to KUOW, she heard an episode of “The Tobolowksy Files� in which Tobolowsky recounted the saga of one of the most difficult episodes in his life — when he was almost kicked out of theater department at Southern Methodist University. The story resonated with Graves, who also had a personal connection to the story: She had graduated from SMU three years ahead of Tobolowsky, where she had been close friends with his fellow drama school classmate Kathy Bates. “It’s an amazing story,� Graves said. “I couldn’t believe that any college student would have the chutzpah to overcome the challenges that he overcame.� So she sent an email to Tobolowsky, asking him if he would consider coming to Vashon and donate a storytelling performance to help raise money for Vashon’s theater program. Amazingly, he said yes. Tobolowsky, reached at his Los Angeles home the day after he returned from an East Coast trip that included a storytelling gig at Harvard, said he couldn’t resist the offer. “It kind of triggered something in me from when I was a kid,� Tobolowsky said. “One of the most valuable things that happened to me when I was a child was that our school took a special interest in getting us kids to the symphony, and in Texas, it was exotic to go to the symphony, to get on the buses and go to the symphony hall, and it was magical to hear something like ‘Peter and the Wolf.’� What’s more, Tobolowsky added, he’s mystified by education trends that seem to value some academic programs over the arts. “Why do they think that they need to remove the arts in school? ... You
cannot live a long and happy life and know nothing about Shakespeare, art and music. It is one of the main doorways to joy we get in our life,� he said. Tobolowsky’s trip to Vashon will mark the first time he has performed his stories for free, and he said he was thrilled to do so on Vashon, a place he’d heard described by Hollywood friends as “an artist’s colony or some kind of rural retreat.� “Sometimes in acting, you learn that there are jobs you do for money and sometimes there are jobs that you do for the project, and it’s rare you get them at the same time,� he said. “This isn’t about making money. Hopefully ‘Glee’ will come around and ask me to do another show and that will take care of that.� In the meantime, he hopes that his performance here will help reach the kind of kids Graves has seen thrive in the high school’s theater department. “I just am a big advocate of the arts, and for me personally, art and drama have gotten me through some of the worst times in my life,� he said. “So anything I can do there is great.�
Tickets for “Stephen Tobolowsky Live!� go on sale Sept. 15 at local book shops. The show is at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30, at the VHS theater. Tickets cost $25, or $75 for a special VIP ticket, which includes a post-show reception and silent auction. “Stephen Tobolowsky’s Birthday Party,� a film that showcases many of the actor’s stories, will play at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25, at Vashon Theatre. The screening is free, but donations will also go to the high school theater program. For more information, contact Lauri Hennessey at lauri@hennesseypr.com.

Last weekend’s day-long recycling event at the old NAPA store was a success, organizers said. Islanders brought in hundreds of discarded items — from wheelbarrows to television sets — offering up donations to have their stuff hauled off the Island and re-used or recycled. All told, the event brought in more than $3,000, funds that will go to the Interfaith Council to Prevent Homelessness to address dental care needs on Vashon. Seattle-based Friendly Earth, a nonprofit, partnered with the Islanders who oversaw the event. The organization provides free electronics recycling for Seattle and the greater King County area, refurbishing those items that can be re-used and donating them to people in need and recycling other items Hilary Emmer, one of the organizers, said she was thrilled by the results. All told, there were more than 10 truckloads hauled off Vashon. “It was a great day,� she said. Above, Chris Anderson hauls a broken wheelbarrow out of his car.

Tilotta, who has a master’s degree in education and is a certified clinical dependency professional and school guidance counselor, has worked as an adolescent treatment counselor since 2001 and has held positions at schools in the Tacoma School District and the Franklin Pierce School District. On Vashon, Tilotta said, she will counsel students individually, provide support groups, work in classrooms, offer teacher training and perhaps develop programs to address Vashon’s individual needs. “I’m still ... talking with kids, trying to figure out what they think there is to do on the Island for entertainment,â€? Tilotta said. “From the kids I’ve spoken to so far, it’s drink and smoke weed. Some of what I’m going to be looking at ‌ is what can we do to allow them to give other answers to that question.â€? The state grant funds a

wide variety of curricula Tilotta will use to teach drug and alcohol awareness in classes at both the middle school and high school. She will train teachers to recognize addiction problems in students, she said, encourage them to report students who show signs of drug or alcohol use and work to correct any misconceptions teachers have. Tillota also has materials to help with student interventions. “Quite a bit comes with it in terms of resources she can bring,� Soltman said. Tilotta, an employee of PSESD, will work closely with the Vashon Alliance to Reduce Substance Abuse (VARSA), formerly known as the Drug-Free Communities Coalition. VARSA helped the school district earn the grant and will partner with the district to provide $14,000 in matching funds required for the program — which costs about $70,000. VARSA has committed to providing $7,000 to $10,000 in funding, and the school district will contribute
$4,000 to $7,000 of its operating budget, Soltman said. “I think its great we can get that kind of full-time service and support for a few thousand dollars,â€? Soltman said. “It’s an amazing opportunity for this community.â€? Tilotta, who lives in Tacoma, said she was drawn to working on Vashon because it is more rural than the other communities where she has previously worked and because she believes students on the Island drink and do drugs for a different set of reasons than those in the city. “It presents a bit of a challenge,â€? Tilotta said. She also liked that Vashon already has a community coalition — VARSA — actively working to address teen substance abuse. Tilotta will join the 14-member VARSA board. “It has a lot of really positive things going on already. ‌ I don’t think I can or should be able to do it all myself. I very much believe in getting parents and the greater community involved,â€? she said.
County to hear feedback on short hunting season At a public meeting next week, King County officials will take feedback on a recent proposal to close Island Center Forest to everyone but hunters for two weeks next month. The county developed the proposal for a shortened hunting season after some Islanders last fall raised concerns about the safety of hunters and pedestrians sharing the thick, low-visibility forest. The proposed hunting season would occur Oct. 15-31, during which time the forest would be closed to all other uses. Hunting would not be allowed at the 81-acre natural area within the boundaries of the forest. A two-week comment period on the proposal begins today. At the meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 20, at Vashon High School, county officials will explain the proposal, answer questions and hear comments from Islanders, said county natural resources manager David Kimmett. Attendees will also have the opportunity to give written feedback at the meeting. “For those people that use Island Center Forest and want to hear more about this proposal or have concerns or support it, we welcome them to come to the meeting,� Kimmett said. The 17-day season will be
a pilot program, Kimmett said. Afterwards, the county will evaluate the season’s success, including how many hunters visit the forest and how many animals they take “It’s something that’s rare,� Kimmett said of closing the park to other uses.
“But we still think this is the best way to ensure everyone’s safety and still allow hunting. We want to acknowledge this historic use of the sight for hunting, but we’re concerned about everyone’s safety.� —Natalie Johnson

Luke McQuillin, who heads VARSA, believes having a full-time substance abuse counselor in the schools will create a stronger alliance between VARSA and the school district and give Vashon the extra edge it needs to cut back on teen substance abuse rates. “We’re very excited about this,� he said. It may even be possible, McQuillin noted, to now complete a comprehensive prevention program for all grades on Vashon, a longtime goal of VARSA. “With Terri there, we may be able to move that forward at a quicker pace,� he said. Though the new position is a pilot program, Soltman said, Tilotta could be on Vashon for up to five years. “The intent is a longterm relationship,� he said. “I hope it can be, because I think this is a stubborn problem that will take some really strong, direct effort over a period of time.�
Betty J. Clancy Betty Jeanette Reed Clancy passed away peacefully at home on August 30th. She moved to Vashon in 2002 from Woodburn, OR, to be near family. Since December 2004 she has made her home at Island Elder Care. Betty was born in Walla Walla, WA on February 26, 1918. When she married J. David Clancy in Walla Walla in August 1959, she acquired a whole new family: daughters Sue Willingham of Vashon, Gail Hapeman (Peter) of Sammamish and Vashon, and Anne Reiff (Del) of Fonda, IA. Of her eight grandchildren, Anne Willingham is on Vashon as are two of eleven great grandchildren, Hannah and Jacob Green. Betty’s husband died in 1987. Her sister Charlene Cramer lives in Walla Walla. Betty’s daughters are thankful for the excellent care she received for almost seven years from Theresa Shipley and the wonderful caregivers at Island Elder Care and also for the supportive, caring staff of Providence Hospice.
Annette Brigham Annette Brigham, 81, died peacefully on her houseboat, surrounded by her daughters and son-in-law, on August 10, 2011. Survivors include brother Georges Brigham, cousin Françoise Rice, daughters Felicia Dale and Adrienne Robineau. Annette was born on January 20, 1930 in Paris, France, and came to the U.S. in 1940. She graduated from Smith College in 1951 and moved to Seattle in 1952. In 1956, she married Edwin Larwil (Larry) Dale in Seattle. They moved to Vashon Island in 1959 and lived in several rentals, including the Dale family cabin at Dilworth Point. In 1964, they purchased the house next door, a remodeled 1926 cabin. While on Vashon, Annette began organic gardening, composting and recycling, long before those were common practices. An accomplished cook, she threw large parties and was renowned for her baguettes, mousse au chocolat and unique vinaigrette salad dressing. For those reasons, and others, her home was the preferred meeting place for the Vashon Unitarian Fellowship for many years. She dabbled in real estate, and later owned and operated a carpet-cleaning business. In the early 1980s, she worked for Keith Crovisier & Associates in West Seattle. Later, she joined URS Corp., working as a CAD draftsperson for more than 20 years. She retired in 2010 due to illness. Annette and Larry were active members of the Quartermaster Yacht Club. The family sailed extensively around Puget Sound, the Gulf Islands and Desolation Sound. Annette was a longtime supporter of Youth Services and president of the Dilworth Water System for several years. The couple divorced in 1982, and Annette moved to Seattle in 1987. Two years later, she purchased her houseboat on Lake Union. Annette was an accomplished international kayaker and a member of the Mountaineers. In 2000, she was the oldest person to complete a very challenging kayak trip north of the Arctic Circle off the coast of Norway. She completed the “Everestâ€? of kayaking by paddling around the northern tip of Vancouver Island. She also kayaked the southern tip of Chile and in the Galapagos, Baja, Iceland, Alaska, Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii), British Columbia, the San Juans and Puget Sound. After being diagnosed with cancer, Annette joined the Team Survivor Northwest Dragon Boat, paddling and racing with team Survivor Sake, an all-women cancer-survivor team. Private services.

Vashon’s new domestic violence program to be honored by the county By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
DoVE, Vashon’s new domestic violence program, will be given a “Take Action Award� by the King County Coalition Against Domestic Violence at its annual reception next month. The small start-up organization learned last week that it’s one of four to receive the award, which is given to individuals or organizations “that have taken outstanding action to help end domestic violence,� according to a news release issued by DoVE. Tavi Black, DoVE’s project director, said the organization was thrilled to learn it will receive the award. “It’s definitely exciting, especially since we’re such a new program,� she said. DoVE was launched in April after receiving a $10,340 start-up grant from Vashon’s Healthy Community Network. The new
organization, housed at Vashon Youth & Family Services, is working to fill a void that has existed for more than two years, when Vashon lost its last Island-based domestic violence advocate. DoVE now offers a weekly support group for victims of domestic violence, and Black acts as an advocate for those in need of support. The organization is also working to raise awareness and understanding about domestic violence; next month, for instance, it’s holding what Black called “DV101� for community members interested in learning more about the issue. “We want to get a community conversation going around this,� she said. DoVE is struggling, however, to find a source of long-term funding, Black said. It’s held some fundraisers, which have brought in around $4,000, and all told, it received $18,000 from the Healthy Community Network. But funding sources that have tradition-
ally provided support to domestic violence programs have, for the most part, dried up, Black said. The King County Women’s Program, for instance, once again is not allowing new applicants to apply for funds. That news, Black said, was disappointing to DoVE. Black said she hopes the commendation from the county will help the organization garner greater financial support. “We need something dependable,� she said. “We’re hoping for the best.� Meanwhile, she said, she has an advisory board of 13 that meets twice a month to provide support and offer direction. She’s also begun working on a long-range strategic plan. “We’re essentially right on track,� she said. Vashon advocates have been concerned about adequate support for victims of domestic violence for years. At one time, Vashon had its own program — Island

Domestic Violence Outreach Services (IDVOS) — which had two advocates and a strong presence on the Island. But it stumbled financially and ultimately fell apart in the wake of an embezzlement scandal; its director pled guilty to first-degree theft in November 2005. In 2006, after Islanders lobbied the county for funds to support domestic violence services on Vashon, the Tukwilabased Domestic Abuse Women’s Network (DAWN) secured enough funding to hire a full-time Island-based advocate. She was transferred off the Island early in 2009 after DAWN lost some of its county funding. The award presentation to DoVE will be held on Thursday, Oct. 27, at the Northwest African American Museum. For more information about the DoVE Project or to donate, visit www.vyfs.org.
Vashon man found guilty of arson in Christmas Day sailboat fire Lyman Houghton, a Vashon man charged with starting the Christmas Day fire that destroyed his 31-foot sailboat two years ago, was found guilty of first-degree arson Friday after a week-long hearing in King County Superior Court. Houghton was also convicted of making false statements, according to Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for the King County Prosecutor. A sentencing date has not yet been set. Houghton, who had been free on bail after his arrest last September, was taken to jail to await sentencing. He’s being held there on a $100,000 bond, Donohoe said. The standard sentencing range for first degree arson is 26 to 34 months. County prosecutors say Houghton, 59, a carpenter and the divorced father of two young children, burned his boat because he was more than $3,000 behind on payments to the owner, who carried the contract for the $15,000 fiberglass Catalina. The day after the fire, according to the prosecutor, Houghton filed a claim with State Farm Insurance. Houghton moored his boat at the Dockton Marina, where he worked as a volunteer caretaker for the King County park. He said at the time of the fire that he believed he was the victim of arson and that extensive smoke damage from the fire had made his boat unlivable. He later told investigators that he believed teenagers may have tried to burn his boat, noting that he had plenty of enemies because of the role he played at the popular park, where he often called 911 to report suspicious activity. According to a 19-page court document filed at the time of Houghton’s arrest, there were many signs that the fire was intentionally lit, including a strong gasoline odor coming from the boat, red gasoline containers poked with holes and leaking liquid and a gas-soaked cardboard box packed with candles. Investigators found one partially melted gas container with the letters L, Y and M and part of an A on it, even though Houghton had denied having any gas cans on the boat. — Leslie Brown

Bonzai is an awesome dog looking for an adoption in the King County area! This sixyear-old (+/-) golden retriever mix is intelligent, enthusiastic and loves to play. He will need a home with regular exercise but he also enjoys sacking out on the sofa and snuggling up with his people, especially if you let him sleep in your bed. Needs home with high fence, he can really jump. Check out VIPP.ORG or Facebook to read more about Bonzai.
