A church blesses its four-legged friends
Serial rapist’s conviction spotlights a decade of crime
By NATALIE JOHNSON
By LESLIE BROWN
Staff Writer
On Sunday morning Rick Edwards got into his yellow truck and headed, as he does each week, to the Church of the Holy Spirit. And though his partner Tom Land was out of town, Edwards wasn’t alone. His poodle Gracie squirmed excitedly in the seat beside him. “We call her our bouncing bubble of joy,” Edwards, a retired nurse, said of the young dog. The five-month-old black poodle, who still boasts a frizzy coat of puppy hair, bounded with energy as Edwards led her to the lawn behind the Episcopal church. There they joined the small congregation and more than a dozen other four-legged visitors who had come along that Sunday. The crowd seemed to buzz with life as it settled into a makeshift outdoor sanctuary set up beneath the tall conifers that line the church grounds. Some dogs sat quietly at their owners’ sides; others tested the length of their leashes, visiting each other in encounters that only sometimes ended in snarling. The scene was new to Edwards but would have been familiar to

Land, his partner. Last year Land took the couple’s 16-year-old poodle, who has since died, to be honored at the church’s annual Blessing of the Animals. And what one year ago was a poignant and bittersweet moment in the final months of the dog’s life this year was a time of celebration and thanks for the couple’s new dog, whom Edwards said already feels like part of their family. “I like the spiritual connection (at the blessing) and the idea of God watching over all of us and protecting us,” Edwards said. “It feels like a really good thing to do.” The annual Blessing of the Animals has been held at the Episcopal church for at least two SEE BLESSING, 17

A talented couple brings intimacy of chamber music to Vashon By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Arts Editor
The heavenly strains of masterworks by Beethoven and Dvořák, played by virtuoso musicians, will be heard on Vashon this Friday. It’s the downbeat to the third annual edition of Vashon Allied Arts’ Vashon Chamber Music Series — an effort spearheaded by Islanders Douglas Davis and Rowena Hammill, two acclaimed cello players who decided to make Vashon their home four years ago. Davis and Hammill, a married couple, set-
tled at an outside table at Café Luna on a recent sunny morning to talk about their journey to Vashon and why they are so eager to share the music they love best with Islanders. In the easy banter of musical and life partners, they came straight to the point. “The music that was written for chamber orchestras was some of the greatest masterworks every written,” Hammill said. “Beethoven wrote his greatest music for string quartets. Chamber music crystallizes the skill of the composers.” Hammill and Davis moved to the Island
in 2007 after long and storied careers spent playing in prestigious orchestras and chamber music ensembles all over the world. The pair’s home base was Los Angeles, a place they met while sharing a music stand in the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. Before and after their courtship and marriage, they also worked in Hollywood orchestras, recording hundreds of scores for television shows and films. But when Davis, a native of southern California who is now 70 years old, was ready to retire after 32 years with the Los Angeles CHAMBER MUSIC, 23
The conviction of a man last week whom prosecutors call a serial rapist has underscored the need to ensure community members, and especially teen girls, understand that even bucolic Vashon is not immune to such crimes, advocates say. Brian Dublin, 28, was convicted Thursday of two counts of first-degree rape, one count of attempted first-degree rape and three counts of burglary. He faces 37 to 48 years in prison, with a chance that his sentence could be extended to life. Sentencing is scheduled to take place Oct. 21. Dublin, a Vashon resident and a 2000 graduate of Vashon High School, was arrested in May 2010 and charged with the January 2010 rape of a 16-year-old girl and the October 2003 rape of an 18-year-old girl. Charges were later amended to include the attempted rape of a 12-year-old girl in July 2006. In all three incidents, he entered the girls’ ground-floor bedrooms through unlocked doors while their parents slept in nearby rooms and made harsh, obscenity-laced threats to the victims, suggesting he’d come back and hurt them or their families if they told anyone. In a 36-page brief that prosecutors filed last month, they outlined several other alleged assaults on Vashon, painting the picture of a man they called “a serial rapist whose crimes spanned the better part of the last decade.” All told, they contend, Dublin raped or attempted to rape seven girls and women over the course of a decade — in some instances using alcohol and so-called “date rape drugs” that caused the victim to black out.

/FX *OEJBO SFTUBVSBOU UP PQFO 'SJEBZ Nirvana, a new Indian restaurant that will occupy the high-traffic corner where the Spice Route operated for four years, will open Friday night, offering what owner Rohit Sharma calls “very authentic� Indian food. “I’m really looking forward to people tasting the food,� he said. “It’s going to have a different kind of freshness to it and an authenticity.� Sharma, who visited Vashon in February and dined at the Spice Route, recently purchased the business from the previous owners. It represents his first foray into restaurant ownership, he said, but he comes to it with considerable experience, having worked with his family at Indian restaurants they owned in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Sharma managed three of his family’s restaurants. He said he has been hard at work remodeling the establishment, moving the brightly colored pillow room from the back and into the two front rooms. The darkened windows will disappear, he added. Many other
changes are also in the works, he said. “I want people to come inside and see the difference. I think it looks more Indian,â€? he said. “It looked before like an Italian restaurant disguised as an Indian restaurant.â€? Two Indian restaurants precede his new venture; before Spice Route, the All India CafĂŠ was located there. Asked how he’ll be able to succeed, he said he plans to focus on service, cleanliness and the quality of the food. His chef, trained at a culinary institute in the city of Hyderabad, India, is talented, he added. He also hopes to slowly add some Western dishes with an Indian influence to his menu, providing more choices to Islanders. What’s more, he noted, he’ll have the support of his parents, who are moving to Vashon to help him in his new effort. “I’m pretty confident,â€? he said. “I have a strong family structure.â€?

The purchases, one completed Friday and another that closed in April, add 4.3 acres to the Point Heyer Natural Area, bringing the preserve to a total of 33.5 acres, with 1,500 feet of marine shoreline, accord-
ing to Greg Rabourn, the Vashon-Maury Island basin steward at the county’s Department of Natural Resources and Parks. The two parcels, both raw land, cost a total of $307,000.

barrier lagoon remaining in the county, Rabourn said. The county established the natural area a few years ago in an attempt to protect the lagoon and Point Heyer. By conserving the bluffs and shoreline north of the lagoon, the county is helping to safeguard a long stretch of naturally occurring erosion and tidal action, called a drift cell, that feeds Point Heyer, he said. “When bulkheads are installed, it stops this process and depletes beaches,â€? Rabourn added. “We’d lose the salt marsh over time.â€? The long stretch of shoreline and the marsh at KVI Beach are also important to Puget Sound’s salmon, and the protection effort at Point Heyer is part of the region’s long-standing effort to recover imperiled salmon runs, Rabourn said. “It’s critical,â€? he said. “It’s a very high priority acquisition as part of the overall ‌ salmon recovery effort in central Puget Sound.â€? — Leslie Brown

Thanks to what Vashon business owners call a true community effort, it’s now a little easier to throw trash away in downtown Vashon. Two garbage cans, purchased by the Vashon Merchants’ Association, have been installed in the town core. Since the Merchants’ Association formed three years ago, said Vashon Bookshop co-owner Nancy Katica, the business owners have shared concerns about the lack of trash cans in town. People often came into shops looking for a place to toss empty coffee cups and food wrappers, she said, and littering had also been a problem. “We really thought (garbage cans) might be a nice addition to uptown,� she said. Bettie Edwards, owner of The Little Shop, said that several organizations over the past few years have thought of tackling the garbage can problem, but their efforts never came to fruition. “Everybody has talked about garbage cans,
but nobody has done it,� Edwards said. In an endeavor headed by Heron’s Nest manager George Wright, the Merchants’ Association secured two used garbage cans at a second-hand store in Seattle. The $350 price tag was covered by proceeds from “Keep Vashon Weird� bumper stickers and mugs sold at various retailers. Katica, who transported the heavy concrete cans in her truck, said one now sits outside U.S. Bank and the other by the Vashon Pharmacy. Already, she said, pedestrians are using the new receptacles. “We’ve noticed less people asking to use our facilities,� Katica said. For now, Learn2Earn students will empty the cans twice a week, putting the trash in U.S. Bank’s Dumpster. “I think anything we do to make the town more welcoming and easy to wander through for off-Island and on-Island people is great,� Katica said.

'SFF XPSLTIPQT XJMM UFBDI TBGF MBXO HBSEFO QSBDUJDFT Islanders interested in sustainable yard and garden practices will be able to learn from several experts in the field when Natural Yard Care by Design, a three week-series of free classes, begins on Vashon next week. Participants will learn the five steps in creating a healthy lawn and garden: building good soil, choosing the right plants, watering correctly, limiting the use of pesticides and practicing natural lawn care. The program, now more than a decade old, was developed by King County in a consortium with 10 other cities to help people limit the use of harmful chemicals and conserve water while creating and maintaining attractive yards and gardens. Doug Rice, a landscape architect and one of the presenters, noted he and his fellow presenters like to entertain while they impart their information, and one presenter might even bring her ukelele, a notably popular instrument on the Island. “People will have a good time,� he said. “Our sense of humor is very aligned with Vashon.� While there might be plenty of laughter, Rice noted that the underlying issue is a serious one, especially on Vashon, where, he said, “All of your water is right underneath you� and is at risk of contamination from lawn
and garden chemicals. In fact, Rice said, the class was developed after the University of Washington tested 100 children and found that 99 of them had common garden pesticides in their urine. Additionally, program materials note that scientists have found 23 different pesticides in Seattle-area streams, many at levels high enough to hurt salmon and other wildlife. Because of these findings, King County sought out garden experts, Rice said, such as Ciscoe Morris, Anne Lovejoy and Marianne Binetti, and asked for their advice. Their answers formed the basis of these classes that the consortium developed and now offers around the region. The methods work, he said, and provide homeowners and other gardeners a sustainable approach to working with their land, often in a way that requires little maintenance. Rice has been to Vashon several times, he said, and knows the Island well. In preparation for his class, he visited several gardens here and will talk about good design based on how people live and use their yards and gardens. He encourages participants to bring photos of problem areas in their yards, samples of soil they would like to
know how to amend and even slices of sod from their lawns. There will be time for discussion with the experts after class, Rice noted, and door prizes and a grand prize — a new mulching lawn mower. People can attend just one of the classes, he said, but often participants find they want to attend the whole series to learn all of the material. “There is a lot of information,� Rice said. “Once you understand it, it’s like, ‘Oh, it all works together.’� — Susan Riemer All workshops will meet from 7 to 9 p.m. at Chautauqua. Thursday, Oct. 13: Garden Design with Doug Rice, landscape architect and Smart Watering with drip irrigation expert Greg Butler. Thursday, Oct. 20: Growing Healthy Soil with Lisa Taylor of Seattle Tilth and Designing with Plants with Islander Greg Rabourn of KUOW Thursday, Oct. 27: Designing a Natural Lawn with Ladd Smith, co-owner of In Harmony Sustainable Landscapes and Natural Pest Control with Dan Corum of Woodland Park Zoo.

/FX GFSSZ GBSFT HP JOUP FGGFDU JODMVEJOH POFT UIBU SFXBSE ESJWFST PG TNBMM DBST As lower, off-season ferry fares took effect last weekend, so did fare increases approved by the state in August as well as a new discount for small vehicles. Fare hikes include a 2.5 general fare increase as well as a new 25-cent surcharge on each ticket to fund the construction of new boats. For example, a car and driver ticket from Vashon to Fauntleroy that cost $15.56 last spring now costs $16.25. A 10-ride pass, which previously cost $124.40, now costs $130.50. Fares are slated to increase another 3 percent in May 2012 and another 2.5 percent in October 2012. Also beginning last weekend, cars under 14 feet long pay 10 percent less than standard vehicles as part of a new small-vehicle category. Drivers of small cars will receive two more 10 percent discounts over the next two years, ultimately paying 30 percent less. Susan Harris-Huether, senior programs manager
at Washington State Ferries, said crews painted new lines on the ground at ferry tollbooths to help WSF employees determine which cars are under 14 feet long. She said she’s not worried the compact cars will be difficult to distinguish and added that ferry workers have been given a list of makes of cars that are known to be under the limit. “If people have a vehicle under 14 feet, it’s blatant,� she said. At the same time, the oversized-vehicle category — a bracket for which drivers pay more — has also changed from over 20 feet to over 22 feet. Harris-Huether said she’s also not worried the changes will create too much extra work for ferry employees. “It will cause extra work for a brief period of time,� she said. “If you’re caught, that’s all it takes.� — Natalie Johnson

Tips for maintaining a healthy smile
Did you know?
It is more important to floss than brush your teeth. One of the most common areas of decay in the mouth is between the teeth. This is because food and plaque between the teeth are not easily washed away. Other surfaces of the teeth are in constant contact with the cheeks, tongue and lips which help to remove debris and plaque. Saliva also aids in cavity prevention by bathing these areas in water, calcium and phosphate which dilutes acid and rebuilds tooth structure. With a healthy diet, this natural cleansing process helps to protect the exposed surfaces of teeth from decay. The most effective way to protect the areas between the teeth is to floss regularly. The floss breaks up plaque between the teeth and removes cavity causing bacteria. Many people only floss when they feel something stuck between the teeth but it is important to remember that the most beneficial part of flossing is the removal of cavity-causing microscopic microbes. All this being said‌we highly recommend brushing in addition to flossing!

Monday, hours after an Italian jury had proclaimed her innocent and shortly before she boarded a plane to head home to Seattle, he made good on his word. “We’re ecstatic,� he said during a brief phone conversation. A retired industrial designer who has lived on Vashon 48 years, he and his wife Millie decided not to go to Seattle to wait all night with other friends and family members for the muchanticipated verdict. “We’re a little old for that,� he said. Instead, the couple sat quietly and alone in their modest north-end home, glued to the television set, waiting for a verdict that would be announced, literally, to the world. He was overcome with emotion when it finally came. “I’m not a real sentimental type,� he said. “But I found tears running down my cheek.� As he spoke, the doorbell rang. Another bouquet of flowers had just arrived, adding to the four already adorning their home. At The Beachcomber, we, too, were glued to the news on Monday, waiting — not as journalists, but as Islanders — to hear Amanda’s fate. And we, too, felt waves of emotion. Amanda Knox has come to mean many things to many people. But here on Vashon, she’s not just a symbol. She’s Bill and Millie’s granddaughter. Her father, Curt Knox, is a Vashon High School graduate. Karen Pruett, one of her many champions, is a Vashon hairdresser. The Vashon Rotary recently hosted a breakfast with Judge Mike Heavy, here on Vashon to advocate for her release. And how fantastic that it has finally happened. Those who have been paying attention know she was put behind bars on evidence that didn’t hold up. The eyewitnesses included a heroin addict and a homeless man. The motive was nonexistent. And the only shred of evidence the prosecution seemed to possess — bits of DNA found on the alleged murder weapon — vaporized under the heat of serious scrutiny. Some critics have taken issue with our national obsession with her case, noting that we wouldn’t be so fascinated if she weren’t young, pretty and white. While many Americans were decrying the workings of an Italian judicial system that put her behind bars for four years, Troy Davis, a black man, was on America’s death row for a murder many say he didn’t commit. Knox was freed. Davis was executed. That disparity is, indeed, profound. But to Bill and Millie Knox, to Amanda’s many friends and family members and of course to Amanda herself, an analysis of America’s institutional racism and the role of the death penalty matters little. What matters is that the Italian judicial system worked. Six jurors and two judges had the courage to right a wrong. And Bill and Millie Knox, a beloved Island couple, will soon take their granddaughter into their arms.

I don’t know how many Hispanics have migrated to Vashon, but there’s no missing this burgeoning community, living for the most part on the fringes of Island society. Welcome Vashon’s Amigos en Vashon project attempts to reach out to immigrant families, create connections and find ways for us to learn and play together; however, challenges abound. The Hernandez family taught me much about the intricacies of attempting to belong. — Janie Starr By JANIE STARR For The Beachcomber
Carlos Hernandez and his wife Maritza welcome me into their home and introduce their daughters. Only their son, Carlos Jr., 11, is not there. The conversation jumps back and forth between English and Spanish, with Cindi, 18, and Daisy, 16, speaking both languages flawlessly. Carlos speaks English but prefers Spanish, and Maritza, the family extrovert, calls her English “muy malo,� but she is motivated to learn. Shy Anai, 5, snuggles quietly between her parents on the sofa. Cindi and Daisy describe their parents as loving and supportive. They stick up for them throughout the interview, making sure I understand the rapid-fire Spanish their parents revert to when animated. When Maritza laughs about being the only plump member of the family, the girls assure her it’s because of her pregnancies, not a lack of willpower. Their friendly bantering puts me at ease as I work to keep up. The good humor disappears, however, when Cindi and Daisy respond to my inquiries about being teenagers on Vashon. Their dark eyes blaze as they recount the discrimination they have felt since entering high school. Cindi relates an incident from the swine flu epidemic, when a substitute teacher accused her of bringing it from Mexico; Maritza’s eyes well up as she recalls how Cindi was made to sit in a corner because of a benign cough, while an American girl was not. “I’ve never experienced racism on Vashon, but my kids have,� Maritza says, lamenting her inadequacy to advocate for them at
school. Sally Adam, a bilingual family advocate, has intervened on the girls’ behalf, Cindi adds, “but she is only one person for the whole district.� Cindi and Daisy have left Vashon High School and are now taking classes through an online program. Daisy also fosters animals for Vashon Island Pet Protectors, and Cindi helps her mom clean houses. They are not sure if they will remain in the United States long term, feeling discouraged about their prospects yet having no reason to believe it will be easier in Mexico. They are the betwixt and between generation, struggling to fit in while feeling the sting of their differentness. When Daisy complains about her boring life on Vashon compared to the fun she has off-Island, I tease her about being a typical teen. Maritza clarifies that the girls never leave without adult supervision — perhaps not so typical after all — and calls her relationship with the kids both open and strict. “I teach them to think about consequences,� she says firmly. I am struck by the respect the parents show their kids, allowing them to speak at will without interruption or criticism. They all agree that family is the most important thing, money and possessions less so. They reflect on life in rural Mexico as more communal and relaxed, and Maritza misses the easy flow of friends and family dropping by. They are not complaining, merely expressing a longing many immigrants share. Carlos tells of coming to the United States to work at age 14, returning home and marrying Maritza, and deciding to settle in the United States in 1991. Although they are all U.S. citizens, they refer to themselves as “Hispanos� and to native-born people as “Americans.� When I ask why, they shrug as if it’s obvious, acknowledging their separateness even as they assure me how well they’ve been treated here. Maritza

smiles about the way shopkeepers welcome her with “hola� and send her on her way with a friendly “adios.� They moved to Vashon at the urging of Islander Hans Koch, whom Carlos has known for more than 23 years and sees as a father figure. The family lives rent-free in exchange for working on the property. Maritza speaks of her initial loneliness, as they were among the first Mexicans on the Island, but she considers herself a “luchadora� — fearless. “I explained that my hands would speak for me, and I found work.� Often the entire family pitches in, doing odd jobs, gardening, cleaning and painting houses. Carlos says that it was easier to immigrate before 9/11, when everything changed. “Americans look at Hispanics differently now, see us as the enemy.� Carlos warns others against immigrating to the United States unless they’ve already secured work. “It’s too hard to make it now. We’re blamed for stealing Americans’ jobs, even though we do work no one else wants, and for less money.� The family uses few Island services, except forays to the food bank and WIC funding during Maritza’s pregnancies. Since only the kids have medical insurance, Carlos and Maritza count on continued good health and no more babies. Carlos is bothered if he sees a Hispanic take advantage of services, worrying that they will be judged for another’s behavior. Maritza says, “We are all equal in America. Whether we are Hispanos, black, red or Asian, it doesn’t matter. Everyone should be treated with dignity.� They dream of better opportunities for their kids, hoping they will attend college, find fulfilling careers and become happily married. They are optimistic, despite the odds. As I prepare to leave, Maritza hands me a plate of mangos to take home for supper. “The next time you go to Mexico,� she says, “we will invite you to visit our family there. You are always welcome.� — Janie Starr, an Islander active with Sustainable Vashon and Welcome Vashon, has written several “On the Verge� columns.

Summer People say goodbye to rainy Vashon LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We let the wealthy leave without giving at our auctions Perhaps you’ve noticed that there are profound seasonal changes underway on our Island. No, I don’t mean that our tomatoes are finally starting to ripen or that we are about to be swamped by a tsunami of zucchini. And I don’t mean the coming of fall. I mean the going of the Summer People. That’s right: Their semi-annual migration is now complete. The signs are all around us. The buzz of jet skis and the roar of powerboats towing waterskiers and screaming, child-filled inflated rubber rafts the size of floating dirigibles on outer Quartermaster Harbor have yielded once again to a merciful quiet, broken only now and then by the birdlike flap of sails as a lone sailboat comes about or the gentle paddle slap of the occasional human-powered kayak. It is also now possible both to get a table at The Hardware Store and to get through the main intersection in town in less than two hours. Similarly, it is now nearly possible to head for either ferry dock with at least a reasonable hope of driving on the boat during the same day. And it is once again possible to find a parking space at the Thriftway lot without the aid of GPS. What’s more, when you get inside you actually recognize the other customers. This
NORTH PASSAGES By WILL NORTH is lovely, though it has its own disadvantages — namely that you have so much to catch up on with neighbors who seem to have just emerged from summer hibernation that it takes forever to get out of the store. Also, in the case of rain, you can now get around on the sidewalks in town without fear of being poked in the eye by umbrellas because yearround Islanders take rain for granted and have no idea what an umbrella is anyway. Water off an Islander’s back, as it were. And speaking of water, here’s another seasonal change: Vashon’s duly-famous masters men’s and women’s crew teams, and the junior crew team as well, are back on the water. I don’t know about you, but I find this change curious. In a good year (and this one wasn’t), we have maybe two months of reasonably nice summer weather, days when it’s pleasant to be out on the water at the crack of dawn. But the rowers don’t row much then. I can think of only one explanation for this behavior: If you’re going to be cold, wet and miserable anyway, it only makes sense to wait for the weather to be the same.
Here’s another thing that’s curious about migration season. Summer People can afford to own Island homes they inhabit for only two months of the year because, why? That’s right, because, unlike the rest of us, they’re insanely rich. It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to work this out. So somebody please tell me why most of the Island’s biggest and most important charity auctions — the Vashon PTSA auction, the Vashon Allied Arts auction, the VIPP Fur Ball, to name but a few — occur, when? That’s right, in the off season. Which is to say, AFTER the big money has flown. What’s that about? Sheer Islander cussedness? Note to charity auction people: Follow the money! I don’t mean to act like a curmudgeon (I don’t have to, it comes naturally). And the truth is that Summer People are lovely folks. I say this because many of our Island businesses depend upon them for their seasonal purchases of goods and services. I also say this because many of them are my immediate neighbors in the Burton Beach area for two months of the year, and if I don’t act respectful-like and tug at my forelock in their presence I might be banished from the neighborhood. Come to think of it, there may be permanent residents with the same idea. — Will North, year-round Islander (thus far) and writer, is completing his latest novel.
Arts center
$PNNFOUBSZ IBE B TNBMM FSSPS I made an important but unintentional error in my commentary last week about the proposed Vashon Allied Arts facility. My notes show that the frontage of the building on the highway is 240 feet; somehow, I wrote the wrong number in my commentary. The wall height also ranges from 16 to 22 feet and is not consistently 22 feet high along that wall. I called the VAA board member from whom I got the figures to apologize for my error; I also called the VAA chair. With these corrections, I still stand by the points I made in my letter. — Donna Klemka
New high school
1MBOT EP OPU TIPX B HSFFO CVJMEJOH What happened to the new high school? Where is the building that was going to identify Vashon?
Quirky progressive, energy efficient. Where are the energy efficient measures? Gas boilers? Really? The plan is to burn fossil fuels for the next 40 years! On an Island where every other car is a Prius and everyone wants to buy a Nissan Leaf, we’re going to buy a building that performs like a Buick and kind of looks like a car dealership, too. Is there anyone who doesn’t believe natural gas and electricity costs are going to go way up in the next few decades? Yet this building has giant floorto-roof glass walls facing all sorts of different directions. Are we going to try to heat the entire surrounding countryside? Oh, but wait, the new high school is built to code! It will out-perform code! Do you know what “code� is? It is the powers that be saying, “Look, this is the absolute minimum. You just can’t construct anything worse than this.� If Apple had followed “code,� we would still be using Commodore 64s. —Richard Krug -&55&34 $0/5*/6& /&95 1"(&

Ladies Softball thanks supporters for fun season
feel special! As a league we promise to bring you ever improving and competitive softball in the coming summers.
Ladies League Softball, at the conclusion of a wonderful second summer of softball, would like to extend our heartiest thanks to the following individuals and groups for making our season possible:
Finally to Vashon Park District for their unwavering support. As a VPD program, we enjoy the benefits of working with our island’s first class Park District. A special shout-out to the Division of Maintenance, who always made sure we had a field that was freshly mowed, watered, and in pristine shape for games.
To Brian Smith, umpire extraordinaire. Brian donated three nights a week of his own time all summer long calling games for the gals. He made the games fun, encouraged sportsmanship and teamwork, and was the guy everyone looked forward to seeing when they headed to the field. A kinder ump has never existed, plus he knows the game well a real plus when at least half the players are middle-aged moms who haven’t done anything athletic or organized since HS. Brian’s patience was endless, his generosity knows no bounds, and having him at the field made the season a lot of fun for everyone. To Vashon Youth Baseball and Softball for 12 cases of brand new game balls. It’s a beautiful thing when your children give gifts that allow their parents to recreate and play, and without these game balls, we’re not really sure how we could have pulled off the season. Thanks, VYBS for the most generous gift! We only hope we did you proud. To our fans - having bleachers full of cheering stands makes any activity more fun. We appreciated you being there through the good and through the not-so-good–it made for a festive atmosphere and made us all
Come on out next summer, Vashon and see what fun can be had when 100 women ages 20-70 hit the diamond for softball. Surprisingly good athleticism was on display, along with excellent teamwork and the encouragement and support not just of our own teammates but of the opposing players. Plus, we had a whole lot of laughs. It was great fun for one and all! The Ladies of Ladies League Softball Pamn Aspiri & Jessica DeWire, League Directors

Ballet dispute
"SUJDMF IBE UIF facts wrong Your article (“Ballet program founders in the wake of a tough dispute,� Sept. 21) contained many inaccuracies including: Betsy’s tenure on the Island — not merely a decade but 17-plus years serving the community. Betsy sought mediation on three separate occasions to no avail; the hostile side refused, saying there was nothing to mediate. Betsy did not walk out of the “stormy� meeting but in fact was one of the last to leave after staying to console Kamela on her “rough week.� Betsy did not dissolve the board but was asked if she wanted to dissolve to which she answered, “Yes, I cannot work with it in its present structure� and then the board voted to dissolve.
The park district’s Susan McCabe told Kamela it couldn’t be dissolved without parks involvement, which just gave Kamela one more reason to keep moving; Susan also told Kamela that Betsy was their employee and they could fire her at will. Wrong! Betsy did step down from teaching regular ballet classes but NOT the production end of it. Parks failed to give Betsy the meeting she requested between the three entities; she was called late one Thursday evening being told the meeting was the next day at 11 a.m.; Betsy had a doctor’s appointment and could not attend. The meeting went on without her, this after being told by Wendy Briacks earlier that it would not happen without her. Subsequent attempts to reschedule were given no attention. In fact the Parks signed a contract with VICB on Aug. 16. Parks has continued to aid/abet this hostile board, including speaking with their (VPD) lawyer while we, VJCB, have been given
no opportunity to speak. Parks has exhibited poor judgment/poor leadership in this matter. — Pam Saunders-Osness
Yom Kippur
%JTUSJDU TIPVME TIPVMEFS JUT FSSPS While well-intentioned, Michael Soltman, like so many other bureaucrats and politicians, mishandled the rescheduling of the homecoming dance so it would not conflict with Yom Kippur. If the dance was to be moved, the announcement should have read like this: “Dear high school students, the VISD and I made a mistake in scheduling the homecoming dance. Since it was our mistake, my staff and I will spend all our after-hours time during the next week fixing this situation so your dance will be perfect, at no inconvenience to you. Of course, there also should be no added expense either. Please advise me of any
expenses you have incurred as a result of my action. My staff and I will stand outside Thriftway until we have collected enough donations to reimburse you for the added cost.� Unfortunately, too many people do the “right� thing and dump the consequences on someone else. Mr. Soltman and the VISD have to deal with inadequate funding which is exacerbated by unfunded mandates compliments of our friends in D.C. and Olympia. Our national budget is out of control at least partially because we continue to act as policeman for the world and send billions in foreign aid to almost every country from China to Pakistan. The airport TSA employees must waste resources screening 80-year-old grandmothers and 6-yearold grade schoolers, so as to not “offend� the 18- to 45-year-old males who pose the greatest risk. Even something as simple as creating jobs makes for new challenges. The latest jobs bill proposed by President Obama seeks money to hire teach-

ers and reduce class size. Good idea? No, since the proposal only funds these jobs for one year! Then all the school districts will have to lay off the new teachers. Our leaders, and I use that term loosely, need to think before they do the “right� thing in the future. — Scott Harvey
Cats
No need to keep cats indoors I would like to offer a few comments regarding Sara Van Fleet’s recent letter regarding cats (“Outdoor cats have an impact on wildlife,� Sept. 28.) First of all, I question the validity of the statement that indoor cats live an average of three times longer than outdoor cats. When making a statement like that, it would be useful to site the source of the information, as otherwise it is just hearsay. It is possible and makes sense that feral cats have a shorter

lifespan than indoor cats, but I doubt the same is true for indoor/outdoor domestic breeds, which are what we are talking about here, I believe. In fact, it is my guess that indoor/outdoor cats that are properly cared for have a more balanced, healthier diet than those who survive solely on Fancy Feast. Secondly, I appreciate the rats, mice and mole control my cats do. There always seem to be more rodents to catch, so I doubt the cats are doing much to diminish these species. Finally, cats undoubtedly eat a large number of birds. I did not see any mention in Sara’s letter about what dogs eat, let alone people. Let’s not place an overemphasis on the cat’s natural function as a predator. The most responsible thing a pet owner can do is to have our pets neutered. Fewer cats are, in my view, the best way to reduce their influence on bird and other populations while allowing the cat to live a more normal life.

SCENE & HEARD Vashon’s Sheepdog Classic: The second annual sheepdog trials, held last weekend as a benefit for Partners in Education, were a success, according to organizer Maggi McClure. She estimates that roughly 3,000 people attended over three days, with the event raising roughly $8,500. The sheep were wily and willful, McClure said, and posed quite a challenge for many of the dogs. Riggs, though, the border collie at right, handled them like the champion he is. His handler, Patrick Shannahan, was the 2010 United States Champion, and the duo handily won the Vashon event. Jenna, Anna, Mike and Grace Riggs, at right, sponsored Riggs the dog for the Smart Dogs for Smart Kids program, and with the dog’s success, won a three-night stay at a guest house in Whistler, B.C. Jenna Riggs, who put their money on him, knew he was a champion, but said, given their shared name, “We would have picked him anyway.� 3JDIBSE 8JMTPO 1IPUP

Art history will come alive when art historian Rebecca Albiani presents three talks at 11:30 a.m. Tuesdays, Oct. 11, Oct. 25 and Nov. 8, as part of Vashon Allied Arts’ Arts and Humanities Series. All talks will be held at the Blue Heron art center. On Oct. 11, Albiani will focus on women impressionist painters, Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzales and Marie Bracquemond. On Oct. 25, Albiani will broach the fascinating and sometimes volatile subject of marriage between three artist couples — Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera and Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock. Albiani’s final talk will center on the Works Progress Administration Index of American Design. The program, initiated in 1935, resulted in a collection of almost 18,000 watercolor renderings that depict traditional American arts and crafts made before 1890.
Series tickets for the talks are $36 for members and seniors and $45 general. Individual event tickets, $14/$17, can be purchased by calling 463-5131.
Tickets to the show, rated PG-13, are $12/$15, and on sale at the Blue Heron, Heron’s Nest, Books by the Way, Vashon Bookshop and www.brownpapertickets. com.

She recently won a national competition to work with world-famous mosaic fabrication craftsman Stephen Miotto to create a prestigious public art project at the Sea-Tac Airport. Judet, who is known for her handpainted clocks with miniature figures that have been shown and sold all over the country, first showed her paintings at the Blue Heron Gallery in the early 1990s. Judet’s artistic practice is linked to her daily practice of keeping a visual journal. Over the years, the journal has grown to a four-foot stack of creative personal history on acid-free large format paper, including ink drawings of boats, towers, trees, ladders and other repeating motifs, such as trees, birds, fish and snakes. Words and phrases, snippets of thought, philosophy and poetry also hint at inspirations for Judet’s paintings.

decades — and at congregations of varying denominations around the world for centuries — always near Oct. 4, the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. “It’s a tradition that’s been quite active in the Christian church,� said Rev. Carla Pryne, a petite, good-natured woman who has headed the congregation for a little more than a year and performed the blessings last year as well. When the time came for Gracie to be blessed, the poodle had calmed down some but was still too fidgety for Pryne to lay hands on her as she had with some of the other dogs whose owners brought them to the front. Instead Pryne, who greeted each pet with a warm smile, stroked Gracie’s muzzle as Edwards held on to her leash. He beamed as Pryne said a prayer for the young dog. As she had with other animals, Pryne thanked God for the role Gracie would play in her owners’ lives. “Thank you for the way these animals trust us and love us,� she said. Before the blessings began, Pryne turned to the congregation and asked what they loved about their pets. “They’re wonderful companions to hike with,� said one woman. “That she’s always so happy to see me,� another woman said with a grin. “They’re always good company,� said one young girl who held a shoebox with two rats in it. “That she annoys my mom,� said a young boy, prompting laughs from the crowd. In an interview before the service, Pryne said the Blessing of the Animals is traditionally a time for parishioners and community members to recognize and thank God for their pets — animals, she said, that are gifts from God as well as bridges between human life and the rest of creation. “People’s pets have a huge place in their hearts,� she said, “and I think they have been vehicles for God’s presence in their lives.� Pryne said those who participate in the service don’t necessarily believe their pets

They simply appreciate the chance to acknowledge the spiritual nature of their animals and their unconditional love, which she called an example of God’s unconditional love. “That’s a powerful thing to acknowledge,â€? Pryne said. Though the only non-canine pets at this year’s event were two pairs of rats brought by children, members of the church remember years past when cats, rabbits, goats, chickens and horses have participated. Pryne said she once blessed an exotic bird, as well as a goldfish a young child brought in a plastic bag. Having a service centered on pets, she said, always makes for somber and emotional moments as well as comical ones. “It has kind of a fun feel to it. ‌ It’s something I always look forward to,â€? she said. Joanna Gardiner, a stanch animal lover who runs an animal care business on Vashon, helped at the blessing while dressed as St. Francis, whom she calls her silent partner. “I think this is an affirmation on the part of the church community that we value the animals,â€? she said. “That they’re sacred and that any being capable of such love has to have something to do with God. It’s like a celebration.â€? Gardiner said she believes animals are in greater harmony with God than humans

are, and it’s fitting to recognize their spiritual nature in a blessing. “I think it’s a wonderful experience for them, and it’s a wonderful experience for us,� she said. As the service continued, whimpers and yips were often heard in the crowd. Pryne’s own dog, an adopted Corgi mix that her husband held on to, groaned as if he longed to be up front with Pryne as she shared a blessing with each family that presented its pet.
Kimberly Benner brought her border collie Ringo to be prayed over. “He’s a constant source of joy,â€? Benner said, grinning. “He reminds us all of how we should behave.â€? “I love this dog with every breath in me,â€? said Karen Gardner, who brought her small, curly-haired Bedlington terrier. In the most tearful moment of the morning, Pryne entered the crowd to crouch beside Jasmine, a 12-year-old dalmatian who laid on a blanket at the feet of sisters Sharon and Jennifer Poole. “She’s been having a lot of health problems. ‌ We’re going to miss her so much,â€? Sharon Poole said, tears running down her face. All three women reached down and laid hands on the dog. “We ask that you grant guidance in these days for how best to love her,â€? Pryne prayed. During a short greeting time, the women received hugs and warm words from several who were there, including another woman who had brought a sick dog. As the service drew to a close, Pryne led the crowd through a few last songs and readings, all with a focus on God’s creation. During the final verses of the closing hymn, called “Song at the Center,â€? the congregation sang, “Let the creatures of creation echo back creation’s prayer.â€? And almost on cue, Pryne’s dog Max began to pull at his leash and howl.

Dock to Dock: Island athletes attempt to run length of Vashon By KEVIN ROSS For The Beachcomber
Last Saturday the Vashon High School cross country team held its eighth annual ferry dock to ferry dock run. A shuttle bus was provided so that the participants could either run the full 13.5-mile distance from the Tahlequah dock to the north end dock, or just run various portions along the route. Two dozen runners who participated in this year’s event, and seven completed the entire course. Participants included high school and middle school team members, parents and community members. Bruce Cyra, a local well-known distance runner, ran the length of the Island in 1:31, the fastest time.

Vashon football defeated by Orting in a rout By BRIAN BRENNO For The Beachcomber
A seasoned Orting football team took it to the young Pirate team on Friday, beating them 56-0. Vashon got the ball to start the game, that possession ending in a punt. Orting started out with a fiveplay touchdown drive and never looked back. After a blocked punt and several turnovers led to Orting touchdowns, Orting was significantly ahead at halftime, 42-0.
On the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter, Orting took it to the house again. Later in the quarter, the Pirates had one long, sustained drive ending with an interception at the one-yard line. Orting had one more score in the fourth quarter, leading to a win for the Cardinals, 56-0.

North-end dock once lined with wood for Mosquito Fleet By BRUCE HAULMAN AND TERRY DONNELLY For The Beachcomber
The first dock at the north end of Vashon, like most of the docks on Vashon, was built for Mosquito Fleet steamers, and only later would it be developed for automobile traffic. The Mosquito Fleet is the name given to the steamers that moved people and goods across Puget Sound from the early 1890s into the 1920s and were so numerous that they often seemed like a swarm of mosquitoes descending on Seattle and Tacoma. These Mosquito Fleet steamers were powered by steam engines that largely burned wood to heat the boilers that drove the engines. A 1901 photo of the north-end dock shows the typical stacks of cordwood that graced every dock in the region. The Flyer, one of the fastest steamers in the fleet, typically burned about one cord of wood for every 10 miles she traveled. Making four 64-mile round-trip journeys between Seattle and Tacoma each day, the Flyer would typically burn about 25 cords of wood each day. At this rate, in a year, Flyer would burn about 5,500 cords a year. No wonder the hillside behind the dock had few trees standing. The introduction of gasoline and diesel powered engines in the 1910s and 1920s replaced the need for firewood, but by then, much of Vashon and the Puget Sound region had been heavily logged to supply the Mosquito Fleet, the building needs of a rapidly expanding population and the demand for dimensional lumber throughout the West. The road up the hillside in the 1901 photograph, which was the main access to the dock at that time, is not Vashon Highway, but 103rd Avenue, the road that now leads to the parking lot. The original dock was slightly to the east of the current dock, an extension of what is now the La Playa restaurant parking area. The main Vashon Highway that carries most of the traffic today was not built until later in the 1920s, after King County rebuilt the dock slightly to the west

The photo above, taken in 1901, shows wood that powered the Mosquito Fleet lining the north end dock. The photo below, taken in 2009, shows the same view as it appears today. The new dock lies slightly to the west of the old dock’s location. and initiated automobile ferry service to downtown Seattle from the new dock in 1919. Once this ferry service was started, it quickly eclipsed Vashon’s first automobile ferry— which ran from Portage to Des Moines. That route was closed in 1921, since it was more convenient to go directly to downtown Seattle from the north end than to go to Des Moines from Portage and then drive the new brick Seattle-Des Moines highway to downtown. The 2009 photo shows the same view, but with a lot more trees, the road paved and the expanded automobile dock to the right. The beach has been armored and filled to make possible the houses and restaurant that now occupy this area. — Bruce Haulman is an Island historian.

A teen helps a vet reclaim his history A trove of photos forms basis for a new and moving exhibit
By VERNA EVERITT For The Beachcomber
Former Sgt. Christopher Gaynor spent the last 40 years trying to forget the trauma of the Vietnam War. A Vashon resident, he focused instead on his career as a bank asset administrator and then on managing the Parkinson’s Disease he developed as a result of his exposure to Agent Orange in Southeast Asia. That is, until three years ago, when he met 17-year-old Boy Scout Tanner Means. Tanner, then a junior at Vashon High School, heard that Gaynor had an extraordinary collection of photographs from his tour of Vietnam and approached him with a simple request: “Can I scan your pictures for my Eagle Scout project?� For four decades Chris Gaynor had carried the photographic record of his combat experience inside a small, nondescript box. With every move he made, so came the box, the lid tightly sealed — sealed because he lacked the will to confront what lay inside. And then there was the young Scout’s request. From January of 1967 through February of 1968, Chris Gaynor documented his tour of duty in Vietnam through the lens of his
Asahi Pentax camera. His collection of more than 350 remarkable pictures captured the faces of South Vietnamese children, parents and grandparents, their villages and their homes. There were also countless pictures of his good friends and fellow soldiers that showed the hardship of separation and the hell of war. Yet the photos also portrayed the brightness of their youth, hope in a future and the bonds of brotherly love. It was that fresh recollection of his Army buddies that prompted Gaynor to grant Tanner’s request. Savvy with modern technology, Tanner began to scan the old images, struck, as he did so, by the faces in the photographs: These were guys his own age, and the dramatic contrast between his life and the lives of these soldiers was immediately apparent. Photograph after photograph showed young men standing next to barbed wired and sandbag barricades, jumping out of helicopters, lying in evac hospitals, braving the jungles and the heat and facing their own mortality. Time telescoped. Suddenly Tanner could read in the faces of the soldiers the reality of those days 40 years ago. What was just a vague idea from history books and television shows now lived and breathed as Tanner pored over the pictures. “It was like standing in a museum, but this museum talked back to me,� he said. Time passed, and then one day, a year after Tanner started
his project, Chris Gaynor got a phone call from the young Scout. Tanner had completed his Eagle Scout project and wanted to show it to him. When the doorbell rang, a few days later, Gaynor was full of trepidation yet also optimistic that somehow something good would come of this, that this was all for a purpose. He braced himself; it was too late to turn back now. And for the first time in more than 40 years, Gaynor laid eyes on those photos that had been sealed and forgotten in a box. What emerged from the freshly minted data disk on Tanner’s laptop was a striking visual tale. George and Perry, Freddie and Mikie — his closest pals in Vietnam — were suddenly there again, unchanged, in his living room on Vashon. Chris Gaynor sat on his couch next to the future Eagle Scout, overcome with emotion. He broke down. Tanner, too, understood the significance of what he had brought into Gaynor’s living room and back into Gaynor’s life. With his newly scanned photos out of the box and into the light, Gaynor’s purpose began to take shape. One morning earlier this year, as he stood in the middle of Ober Park, Gaynor read the names of Vashon’s 12 young men killed during the Vietnam War. Those names, engraved on two obelisks, were so much more tangible to him now: Frank Selden, Danny Barnes ‌ Gaynor wanted to commemorate their lives ‌ David Davies, William De Vore,

John Raaum, Larry Wallace. And so, just as Tanner Means had approached Chris Gaynor a few years before, Gaynor approached Bruce Haulman, an historian and board member at the Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Museum. Haulman was moved by
what he saw. And together they decided to create “Home of Record: Vashon and the Vietnam War� — the story of the Vietnam experience as told through Christopher Gaynor’s photographs. One more precious piece was added to the exhibit, another trove that Gaynor carried inside that nondescript box: his letters home — letters read and reread, folded and unfolded, saved by a mother separated from her son so far away. — Verna Everitt is a freelance writer. Christopher Gaynor and his partner of 36 years, Paul Chen, have been Vashon residents for 21 years
“Home of Record� opens from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7, at the VashonMaury Island Heritage Museum. The exhibit includes Gaynor’s photographic record of the war, as well as many other features. There will be a “wall of remembrance,� providing visitors an opportunity to pay respects to the 12 men from Vashon who died in the war; an area where some of the sights and sounds of the war will be broadcast; and an interactive map of Vietnam, where veterans can identify where they served and Vietnamese-Americans can identify their family’s place of origin.

Chamber Orchestra and Pasadena Symphony, he found himself yearning for a rainy climate. “I was burnt out by the sun,� said Davis. “I always craved moisture.� The pair had explored the Pacific Northwest with their two young sons prior to their move here, but wound up on Vashon after Hammill, on a lark, decided one day to take a ferry ride from Seattle to Vashon. Hammill, 49, laughs now as she recalls how little she knew about the Island at the time. “I thought Vashon was probably very industrial,� she said. Hammill said she now enjoys her rural lifestyle on Vashon, although she still commutes to Los Angeles to perform as associate principal cellist with the Los Angeles Opera. Davis, for his part, has found performance opportunities closer to home. For a time, he was guest principal cellist for the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, and he also can be spotted deep in concentration and expressively drawing his bow as he accompanies Vashon Opera performances. But as Islanders, Hammill and Davis have also found a brand-new creative outlet in presenting their annual chamber music series with Vashon Allied Arts. “In Los Angeles, we couldn’t have done something like this,� Hammill said. “There isn’t a feeling there of a community coming together.� Hammill enthused about the receptivity of Islanders to the kind of music she and her husband have brought to Vashon. “Audiences here are engaged and absorbed by the music, and we have presented some very challenging programs,� she said. “They are no less sophisticated than audiences in Los Angeles.� Moreover, Hammill said, Vashon’s small venues are the ideal place to play chamber music. “We love the intimacy of performing in the Methodist Church and the Blue Heron,� she said, noting that chamber

Douglas Davis and Rowena Hammill enjoy producing chamber music on Vashon, where the audiences are particularly appreciative, they say. music was meant to be performed in small halls. Hammill and Davis first approached Vashon Allied Arts three years ago, not long after their move to Vashon, to ask if they could launch a chamber music series here. Janice Randall, VAA’s director of performing arts, said yes, and the new series was born. This first concert in this year’s series, starting Friday at the Methodist Church, will include Beethoven’s exquisite
“Archduke Trioâ€? and Dvořåk’s “Piano Quartet No. 2 in E Flat Minor.â€? Hammill and Davis will both play in the concert, joined by a small constellation of stars from the Seattle classical music scene — violinist Stephen Bryant, violist Sue Jane Bryant and pianist Allan Dameron. The second and third concerts in the series, scheduled for Nov. 18 and 19, will feature an all-women ensemble playing works by Martinu, Mozart and Schumann. The final concerts in the series, which will feature the music of Bach, Brahms and living composers from Estonia and Latvia — will take place in January and March. For Islanders, it’s a chance to reap the rich fruit of Hammill’s and Davis’ lifelong pursuit of their craft. Davis, from the vantage point of his retirement, remembers when he first fell in love with chamber music as a cello prodigy who played in an all-city youth orchestra in the 1940s and ’50s in Los Angeles. “I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley during a time that was a golden age of chamber music in Los Angeles,â€? he said. “Kids got high on chamber music — we even had chamber music parties where we were fed by the parents, and then there were trios in one room and a piano quartet in another room.â€? Laughing, he marveled at how music had shaped his life and the lives of his young friends. “We aspired to be juvenile delinquents, but chamber music kept getting in the way,â€? he said. For Hammill, music has also been a vehicle that has taken her from her native home of Sydney, Australia, to teaching posts and jobs playing music all over the world. “With chamber music, you can play it when you’re 12 or when you’re 82,â€? she said. “The joy of chamber music lasts your whole life.â€? The Vashon Chamber Music Concert Series will begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7, at the Methodist Church. Future concerts in the series, held at the Blue Heron and the Methodist Church, will be held Nov. 18 and 19, Jan. 15, and March 30 and 31. Individual tickets as well as subscriptions to the series can be purchased by calling 463-5131. For more information, visit www.vashonalliedarts.com.
Chris Darrow
The family of
Curtiss Noah invite you to join them for a memorial gathering Sunday, October 9, 2:00 p.m. at Sound Food Restaurant Corner of 204th and Vashon Highway SW
Chris Darrow passed away on July 20 in Massachusetts. He lived on the island from the 70’s on and most remember him as a carpenter and musician. He moved back east about 10 years ago to be close to his mom and siblings and worked in the Union. He was in a Quebecois band called “Le Coin Voillant� and played the piano and accordion for the French-Irish band. His mom says he started playing little tunes as just a little boy climbing up on the piano bench. He was a kind, happy man who has touched many lives. Chris was born to Joe Lee and Kitty Sue on July 4, 1953 in Los Angeles. He was a true Boy Scout and always packed “the 10 essentials�. He has many fond memories of hiking with his father throughout the Sierra Madres and other ranges. Chris always loved to play instruments too and was in many garage bands. His father passed away when Chris was just 13 and he then became more involved with music. Their mother moved them to Massachusetts then. He hitched out west when he was young and found work on the Island at Wax Orchards like many did back then. He had an old black cruiser with fins that he and his friends could ride all over the island for only 50 cents. He got jobs building and helped with the Thriftway center and others. He bought some land on Wax Orchards Rd. and built a house. Marshal Sohl said he found the water source with rods like a water witch. He washed dishes with Bob the Baker at Sound foods and they rode skateboards down Gold beach hill. He started building boats with friends and playing stand up base in jazz bands. He played at the Blue Heron then. He had curly brown hair and rosy cheeks. He had a twinkle in his eye and he walked a little crooked from carpentry. Remember Chris? Aside from building on Vashon, Chris was a peace activist in Seattle and Tacoma during the war in El Salvador. He believed in non-violence, liberation, revolution, poetry and the transformative power of the mind, and love. He played us music and for awhile we could float with him there, lifting us from time and space. He became to like Buddhism very much lately, spending most of his time at retreats learning about love, impermanence, and the “natural goodness� that can be found in all beings. Dad you left me many great tools for this life. Please wait for me and please keep playing music. We love you more than you ever could imagine. A nice potluck for Chris will be in November, and all are invited. Bring your instruments and stories please. You can contact Jolee Bell at wildflowerbee@yahoo.com

into girls’ bedrooms in the cover of night while parents and siblings slept nearby. But such crimes can occur anywhere, some say, and his conviction highlights the importance of taking basic precautions, such as locking one’s door. “I think sometimes we get complacent or overly assured that we’re extra safe here. And that’s not true,� said Ken Maaz, the executive director of Vashon Youth & Family Services. “I don’t want people on Vashon to be frightened and living in fear,� added Tavi Black, the director of Vashon’s new anti-domestic violence program, DoVE. “But it’s important to realize things like this can happen here.� Dublin’s crimes, however, were not only middle-of-thenight attacks in a victim’s home. He was also a known participant in Vashon’s youth-oriented party scene, often the one providing both the site for a party and the alcohol, according to the prosecutor’s detailed brief and the detective who investigated the assaults. Community activists and parents have occasionally expressed concern about a handful of men who attend teen parties, plying girls with alcohol and making sexual advances. Dublin’s conviction provides a glimpse into that world, and advocates say his actions underscore the need to educate young people about the dangers of such parties and the use of date-rape drugs as well as the need to have a broader conversation about sexual assault on the Island. “We need to talk about what’s happening,� Black said. Black plans to work with another agency to host some discussions and workshops about date rape and domestic violence. Dublin’s crimes don’t fit neatly into that category, she noted, but there’s still much community members can learn from his case, the prevalence of sexual assault and the role a community can play in trying to prevent it. “It’s really all about education,� she said. “Vashon’s so good about banding together and saying, ‘We won’t take this here.’ This is one of those issues that’s really, really important.� Det. Michael Gordon, who investigated the Dublin case for the King County Sheriff ’s Office, said he was struck during the course of his investigation by the party scene and the role young men old enough to buy alcohol play on Vashon. “This case definitely illuminated that,� he said. “There’s definitely a party
and drinking culture out there. No question about it.� Both Gordon and the prosecutor’s brief paint a picture of a horrific series of rapes, attempted rapes and assaults, including a few instances where teen girls drank in his home, got sick and then woke up to find themselves in Dublin’s bed with him on top of them. But Dublin’s “most egregious conduct,� the brief says, “was when he attacked without warning in the dead of night.� The first incident occurred in 2003, when he snuck into a Maury Island home wearing what looked like a surgical mask and wielding a knife and raped an 18-yearold. “Don’t make a sound; your family is all tied up,� he told the young woman. Gordon said he and others in his unit worked hard to solve the case and ultimately developed a profile on the perpetrator. But they found no suspects who fit that profile, and Gordon realized he likely couldn’t solve the case unless the perpetrator attacked again. Dublin did so in 2006, when he entered a home on the Westside Highway and attempted to assault a 12-year-old. When he let go of her for a moment, the girl bolted — running out of the house and around to the front to her parents’ bedroom. But according to the prosecutor, solid police work — including the use of trackers at the Westside Highway site — helped investigators piece together more clues that were ultimately used to convict him. Those trackers after the 2006 incident found a clear trail with footprints headed to the girl’s home, pausing at a tree he apparently climbed that gave him a vantage point into her room and continuing onto her house; the shoe size, they determined, was 10.5, Dublin’s shoe size. In 2010, when Dublin raped again, this time attacking a Vashon High School student, the girl told officers about a “creepy� guy she had seen at a party that night, identifying him as Dublin. Thus began a long effort to piece together what Gordon called an air-tight case — something he did when he obtained Dublin’s DNA from a marijuana pipe confiscated by Chelan County and found that it matched the DNA in both the 2010 and the 2003 rape. “I’m glad we were able to prosecute this guy,� Gordon said. “It certainly provides closure for the victims and hopefully gives a feeling of security on Vashon, because these have been unsolved cases for a long time.�
