Students make use of nature’s classroom Thanks to a county grant, a once-barren site has become a living pond By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
Kay Burrell’s fifth-grade class buzzed with excitement on Monday afternoon as the single-file line of kids approached a small detention pond just beginning to fill from the autumn rain. Surrounded by thick woods, only the noise of the playground in the distance reminded the students bundled in sweatshirts and raincoats that they were still near their elementary school. Circling the water, the children quieted. Some stood and others sat in the grass as Burrell asked them to write in their science journals about what had changed at the pond since their last visit, about a month ago when the pond was dry and the grass and bushes around it a different color. Suddenly Burrell stopped midsentence. “Shhh. Listen,” she said. “What’s that?” “A frog,” one boy shouted out as a Pacific tree frog continued to chirp nearby. “That’s a good thing about being quiet when you’re a scientist,” Burrell said with a smile. At a time when school funding is tight and many extracurricular

A new reality: Some school programs hang by a thread By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
until 5 a.m. Oct. 31 will mark the longest shutdown of a Seattle-area highway in the state’s history, traffic officials say. And many, like Pearson, are expecting the worst. The Seattle region is already heavily congested during commute hours. Add the 110,000 drivers who will be displaced by the closure of the north-south arterial along Seattle’s waterfront, traffic experts say, and the result will likely be several days of the toughest commute in the region’s history — especially at the beginning, before commuters find their way
Jackie Merrill remembers her Camp Waskowitz experience as a fifth-grader on Vashon Island — feeling at first scared to go, then, after a week at the rustic cluster of cabins in the foothills of the Cascades, wishing she didn’t have to leave. That was 32 years ago. Now, she’s one of a handful of parents scrambling to try to save a fifth-grade rite of passage that has become the stuff of legend on Vashon. An intensive and largely successful fundraising campaign in support of the Vashon Island School District earlier this year enabled the district to maintain all of its academic programs and teaching positions, several of which were threatened by a sizable budget gap. But despite the ambitious campaign, which brought in more than $450,000 from parents and other Islanders in support of the district, the public school system is still facing the reality of a declining budget, said Superintendent Michael Soltman. And the outdoor school known as Camp Waskowitz could become one of the casualties. “We’re not able to do everything anymore,” he said. Last spring’s fundraising campaign played an integral role, he noted. “We were able to preserve the academic programs and the class size.” But with another state deficit looming that could force mid-year cuts in the school district’s budget for the second year in a row, Soltman — like superintendents and school board members across the state — says he and his staff are having to face a new reality.

Students from Kay Burrell’s fifth-grade class sit next to the detention pond Monday, recording what they see and hear. programs are threatened, the fifth graders are learning about science at the school district’s new living pond, an outdoor classroom made possible by a King County Waterworks grant the district received in 2009. At that time the detention pond — built in the woods behind the school in 1993 to capture runoff from the Chautauqua Elementary
and McMurray Middle School campuses — lay barren as it was regularly cleared of vegetation to comply with county code. But since the school district got special permission from the county to use the area as an outdoor learning space, the pond has slowly sprung to life. High school interns funded by the grant and led by David Warren
of the Vashon Forest Stewards cleared blackberry bushes and Scotch broom that surrounded the area’s perimeter. With help from high school horticulture students and Master Gardener volunteers, they planted native trees and shrubs around the pond, which swells to about half the size of a SEE POND, 12
Viaduct’s closure could hit Vashon hard, some predict Many brace for the region’s longest highway shutdown By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
Glenda Pearson, a University of Washington librarian, already rises at an ungodly hour to feed her many animals before making her long commute via a vanpool to Seattle. Next week, however, when the Alaskan Way Viaduct shuts down for a little more than a week, the Vashon woman is braced for an even
earlier start to her day — rising at 3:15 a.m. instead of 3:30. The goal, she said, is to get her vanpool onto the 6:25 a.m. walk-on-only boat, which allows two vans to board, instead of the 6:40 a.m. boat the van usually catches. But even with an earlier start, she’s expecting a tough commute. Asked what she thinks her daily trek into Seattle will be like for those nine days when the viaduct closes, she answered in a word: “A nightmare,” she said. “Our major concern is that some people have to be on campus by a certain time, and that won’t be possible, we don’t think,” she said. The viaduct’s closure from 7:30 p.m. Oct. 21

The event is slated to run through the month of October, considered National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Shirk, who helped to found DoVE last year, said she has deep concerns about the prevalence of domestic violence and the impact it can have on families, in part because of her personal experiences. “Having grown up with an abusive stepfather, I’m passionate about wanting to make sure that no other kids have to grow up seeing that kind of violence against their mother,� she said. Shirk said she and Welch went door-todoor at various businesses last week and were touched by how many retailers quickly endorsed the plan. “I think everyone will want to do it,� she said. “I hope the whole town will be purple by the end of the month.� Supporters of the campaign can purchase a string of purple lights to put around a window for $20 or a single bulb for a front porch for $3. Lights can be purchased at Vashon Youth & Family Services (VYFS) or the Chamber of Commerce’s office. All proceeds will benefit the DoVE Project, which is sponsored by VYFS.

Islanders concerned about domestic violence hope Vashon’s town core and many of its neighborhoods will soon be cast in a purple glow. The DoVE Project, the Island’s fledgling anti-domestic violence program, is selling strings of purple lights and single purple bulbs as part of the Purple Light Nights Campaign, a national awareness effort that highlights community support to end domestic violence by asking people and merchants to hang purple lights in their windows or on their porches. Islander Allison Shirk, who is spearheading the project with her partner Pete Welch, said the campaign is a way to show community support to end domestic violence and support victims. “Sometimes people may not speak up when they see something that’s domestic violence,� she said. “If we band together as a community, it’s easier to send the message that it’s not tolerated.� The Purple Light Nights Campaign was started in Covington, in east King County, in 2007. Since then, Shirk said, the campaign has spread to 21 states, Canada and Guam. This year marks the first time the campaign has come to Vashon.

Land trust gets grants for Shinglemill said the Rotary gives large grants to Vashon organizations yearly and chose to fund the Shinglemill project last year because members thought it was a valuable project and want to support the land trust’s conservation efforts. “We like the land trust because they do good things and they spend money carefully,� he said. Though both the land trust and Rotary are pleased with the parking lot, some who live near the trailhead are concerned that the large, gravel lot will become a gathering place for youth to drink at night. Ron Irvine, who owns Vashon Winery and has apple trees at a one-acre plot on 156th, said some who live on the street have met to discuss the issue and have made their worries known to the land trust. Bordner said she understands the concern, but so far there has been no evidence that the lot has been used for drinking “There have been no issues, no trash, no reports of anything,� she said. “Up until this point it has been a concern, but not a realized one.� If the parking lot does become a gathering place, she added, the gate installed at the entry to the lot can be closed at night.
the surrounding forest has been ongoing at the preserve, which was once heavily logged. “It adds to the health of the forest, impacts the health of the stream and provides conditions salmon need to return and spawn along the creek,� she said. The seedlings will likely be purchased in January 2012 and planted in the winter and early spring. “It’s sort of next on the list for this watershed,� Bordner said. “For REI to do that was great.� In July the land trust opened what Bordner called a muchneeded parking lot at the trailhead of the Shinglemill Creek trail off of S.W. 156th Street. A $7,000 grant from Rotary last year funded the new parking lot, as well as about 200 native trees and bushes planted around the lot and a new metal sign that will soon be installed at the trailhead. Bordner said the trail at Shinglemill has become increasingly popular and until the parking lot was built, many were forced to park their cars along 156th, a narrow, one-lane road. “It was causing all sorts of difficulty for the neighbors,� she said. “It has become a very popular Island walk.� Rotary president Bart Queary

The Vashon Maury Island Land trust recently received grants from REI and the Vashon Rotary to continue improvements and restoration work at the Shinglemill Creek Preserve. Beth Bordner, operations manager at the land trust, said the organization will use a $5,000 REI grant it received last month to purchase about 2,000 cedar and fir seedlings to be planted at the preserve. “We were thrilled,� Bordner said. “This is a project we want to do and need to do.� Bordner said that in order to qualify for the REI grant, the land trust had to show that the preserve provides recreational opportunities and that the project funded would involve community effort. Shinglemill was a perfect fit, she said. Two years ago, the land trust opened a two-mile trail at the topographically diverse preserve, providing what Bordner called the closest thing Vashon can offer to a back-country hiking experience. In addition, the organization relies on volunteers, including community groups such as the Boy Scouts, to help with restoration projects at the site. Planting along the creek and in
Beachcomber wins top statewide award The Beachcomber garnered first place for general excellence, one of the top statewide awards for newspapers its size, at the annual Washington Newspaper Publisher Association’s awards ceremony in Everett Friday. The prize marks the second consecutive year that the newspaper has claimed first place in general excellence, a category that looks at every aspect of the paper, from headlines and news stories to advertisements and design. “We’re thrilled to have taken top honors for the second year in a row,� said Daralyn Anderson, the newspaper’s publisher. “It reflects well on
every member of our small staff.� The Beachcomber also received 19 awards for individual news stories and advertisements. Among them were first place awards to Susan Riemer for health reporting and Elizabeth Shepherd for arts reporting, a second place award to Natalie Johnson for environmental reporting and a second place award to Leslie Brown for a personality profile. The paper also won first place for several ads, including ones awarded to Nance Scott for her use of spot color and clip art and for combining multiple advertisers onto a two-page spread.
Island Center Forest to close for hunting Beginning this Saturday, Island Center Forest will close to everyone but hunters for 17 days. After taking public feedback and completing an environmental impact investigation, county officials approved a proposal for a shortened hunting season at the forest. The forest will be closed until Monday, Oct. 31. Doug Williams, a spokesperson for the county’s Department of Natural Resources and Parks, said that once the hunting season is complete, the county will take feedback on the pilot project. To help assure that hunters don’t open fire near homes — a concern of many who live nearby — Williams said the county will provide maps that
show forest boundaries and will install large signs that show home locations as well as signs near boundaries in the forest. “It will help hunters to delineate the area where hunting is allowed,� he said. In addition, he said, county employees will be stationed at the forest’s entrances on the weekends to inform pedestrians of the closure, answer questions and gather information about how the public area is used. Pedestrians will not be fined for entering the forest during the time. “We can’t stop people from accessing it. We’re just asking them to cooperate,� Williams said. — Natalie Johnson

Park district sues property owner in an effort to end boundary dispute Agency wins a temporary restraining order in court By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
A simmering property dispute between the Vashon Park District and Gay Rosser went to court Monday, where the park district obtained a temporary restraining order against the longtime Vashon resident for what it sees as her ongoing interruption of its field project. David Hackett, a commissioner on the park district’s five-member board, said the agency decided to file a lawsuit after other efforts — including a proposed settlement that gave Rosser and her mother Margaret access to one of the parcels in question — failed. What’s more, despite frequent conversations and efforts at mediation, Gay Rosser continues to try to obstruct the project, he said — most recently last month, when she used trucks to block access to the work site during a critical moment in the construction process. “After a year and a half of trying to get her to sign some kind of settlement agreement, it became apparent to us there would always be something in the way of reaching some kind of agreement, so we decided it would be better to have the court resolve it,� Hackett said. Rosser, who shares the home with her
mother, did not return telephone calls. However, in an email that she sent to nearly 100 Islanders Friday, she expressed dismay over the lawsuit, noting that she received a summons to Monday’s hearing only Thursday night, after her 90-year-old mother answered the door and was handed papers by a man standing on her porch. “This allows one business day to gather and respond to these actions by Parks,� Rosser wrote in her email, adding that the family doesn’t have a lawyer and urging Islanders to write letters to The Beachcomber, The Loop and the park district in support of her cause. The Rossers’ family home, initially owned by Margaret and her late husband Leon and now owned by Gay, sits on a five-acre parcel on the eastern edge of the park district’s sports field project. The park district is leasing the adjacent 10-acre site on Vashon Highway, where the Harbor School is located and where it is building several new sports fields; the 10-acre parcel is owned by the Vashon Island School District. At issue is the ownership of two strips of property at the site — the 100-foot driveway to the Rossers’ home, which runs along the southern edge of the sports field project, and a grassy swath along the eastern edge of the park project, next to the Rossers’ property. According to the Rossers, that driveway is owned by them — with an easement that gives the school district use of it. And the grassy swath on the eastern edge of the park

project, they say, is owned by the school district — with an easement that gives the Rossers full access to it. The swap was part of a handshake agreement between Leon Rosser and then-school superintendent Hal Barton in 1947, the Rossers say, as a way to give the Rossers access to the back half of their property and the school access to its land. But despite a thorough search of their records, school district officials say, they can find no documentation of the Rossers’ easement claim and in fact unearthed a 1957 document that appears to counter it. What’s more, both a title search and a survey by long-time Island surveyor Jerry O’Hare show that the driveway belongs to the school district, with an easement that allows the Rossers to use it, not the other way around. Without documentation, school Superintendent Michael Soltman said, the district can’t give an easement on the eastern swath to the Rossers, as that amounts to giving away public property, a violation of state law. The park district, however, has crafted a settlement proposal that would give the Rossers use of the strip on an as-needed basis. The Rossers, according to Hackett, have declined the offer. On Monday, a King County court commissioner granted the part district’s request for a temporary order restraining Rosser from doing anything but driving or walking along the driveway on the southern edge of the property. The park district did
not get a restraining order forcing her to stay off of the eastern swath, Hackett said, since the area is fenced and thus the commissioner did not see an imminent threat. The issue will now go to a judge, who will “quiet the title,� or determine exactly where the property’s boundaries are. Hackett said the park district did not want to take the issue to court, as it will cost the district several thousand dollars in legal fees. But he said a series of incidents has forced the district’s hand, the most egregious of which was when Rosser parked two trucks in the driveway last month, bringing a part of the project — the installation of field lights — to a temporary standstill. “We have a project to complete, and Gay Rosser is standing in the way of it,� Hackett said. Ray Aspiri, a longtime Islander who stepped in last year to try to help resolve the conflict, said he’s sorry it’s come to this. The Rossers, he added, “genuinely feel they’ve been taken advantage of.� Initially, he said, park district officials didn’t communicate as well or clearly with the Rossers as they should have. But the settlement the park district has come up with seems to make sense, Aspiri said, and he’s disappointed the Rossers won’t agree to it. “I feel badly that they can’t find a resolution. I thought we got the school district and the park district to reach out to them, but it wasn’t enough to satisfy Gay and Margaret,� he said.

As the front page of this week’s Beachcomber so clearly shows, the picture is mixed when it comes to the state of the Vashon Island School District. On the one hand, thanks to grants, a generous community and resourceful teachers and administrators, innovative programs continue to crop up. The fact that a new outdoor education program is beginning to take shape around a detention pond-turned-natural area is one such indication: Just walk out the school doors on Vashon, and environmental ed — under the right teachers and with a good curriculum — can unfold.

BOE IBSE XPSL UP Despite an outpouring of NBJOUBJO UIF QSPHSBNT community support over the past two years, our district is XF WF DPNF UP FYQFDU continuing to suffer from the state’s longtime inability — or, more to the point, refusal — to fully fund education. Parents are paying more each year for cocurricular activities. Supplies for basic needs are hard to come by, and teachers, long used to scrimping to get by, are having to make do with less. Particularly noteworthy is the example that Camp Waskowitz’s uncertain future provides. Beloved programs, like this 32-year tradition of sending our fifth-graders off to a week of camp in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, are no longer guaranteed. Indeed, Waskowitz, like so many other things anymore, it seems, will continue only if parents, teachers and community leaders hold enough bake sales and car washes to wrest enough dollars out of a finite number of Vashon residents to make it happen. It’s fantastic that environmental education can take place a stone’s throw from school buildings. Indeed, teachers should take advantage of Vashon’s rich backyard, an outdoor classroom with its forests, shorelines and dynamic ecosystems. But a good natural science curriculum can’t make up for what Waskowitz provides in the way of environmental education — robust day hikes, hours of stream exploration, starlit walks back to the cabins after an evening program. Nor can it make up for those less tangible but still very real parts of the experience — the community-building rite of passage that this week away has provided countless Vashon children. It’s incumbent upon the school district, of course, to be frugal and fiscally responsible. And it’s important to tell district administrators — from the school board to the superintendent — what we value and how we want to see our precious dollars spent. But after a certain point, there’s only so much this small school district can do. After a certain point, it’s time to turn our attention to Olympia, where initiatives sponsored by Tim Eyman and passed into law by voters and lawmakers are effectively dismantling government.
When I was 12, my mom married a man she had known less than a year. He came into our lives laughing and full of life and left our lives like the grim reaper. October is the national month for Domestic Violence Awareness, and so I want to share my story to offer hope to those who may be experiencing something like this. I remember the first time like it is burned into my mind. He came in the house upset that someone had put some glass bottles in the burn barrel. As he started lecturing us, he began taking dishes out of the cabinets and smashing them on the kitchen floor one by one. It started with broken dishes, but he was soon breaking my mom’s bones. He broke her hand. He broke her glasses so that she couldn’t see to leave. He disabled our station wagon so that we couldn’t escape in the middle of the night. And after each incident, he returned bearing gifts and excuses that somehow my mom believed. My mom would tell us never again, but she couldn’t leave him. Not yet. My mom had two master’s degrees and was a social worker for Child Protective Services. The fear and isolation that I felt will always be with me. Late nights when my schoolmates were fast asleep in their safe homes, we were hiding outside, trying to get away to a motel. I kept a bag packed and under my bed in case the time was ever right to leave. I always hoped for that day. Our home was full of screaming and violence. Why didn’t the neighbors ever call the police? They must have heard something. I would scream for help as loud as I could, but they never came. No one ever came. So one day, when my mom was screaming and then suddenly stopped, my brother and I got up the courage to kick in the door
to my mom’s bathroom. He was trying to stick a towel down her throat to stop her from screaming. My brother pulled out his survival knife from behind his back — the kind some boys have with a compass and place to keep dry matchsticks — and told him that he would kill him if he didn’t stop. My stepfather walked away and left, but he came back again. We had been living with him for two years. Finally one day we came home, and he was out behind the house. He had his gun. My mom told us to stay in the house, and she went back into the woods. She found him there with his shotgun, threatening to kill himself. Someone finally came, and they took him to an inpatient hospital. He was there long enough for my mom to finally break free. We are OK now. I’m strong. But no child should have to experience that fear. No child should grow up with violence. No child should have to see a man beating her mom. If you know someone who is hurting a woman, if you know a child who is facing this fear, speak up and do something. Here on Vashon Island, I helped to start the DoVE Project. It provides help for those who are survivors. We are not victims; we are survivors. But we cannot survive without help. More than anything, this project needs your donation to keep going. We have a shoestring budget that is dwindling quickly away. We need help. Three fundraisers are planned in the upcoming weeks to support the DoVE Project. On Oct. 21, we will host a one-woman comedy on misogyny, “Eve Was Framed,� at the Red Bicycle. On Nov. 4, we will host an event for men to share

And on Nov. 10, we will show a film at the Vashon Theater called “A Lot Like Me� — a documentary that tells the story of one woman’s journey to explore her father’s culture, but finds that the violence against women in Tanzania was the real story that needed to be told. You will also see the Island adorned with purple lights this month. Vashon is participating this year in Purple Light Nights, a national domestic violence awareness campaign in which businesses and residents shine a purple light in their doorsteps or windows in opposition to domestic violence. I imagine the lights as beacons giving hope to the survivors who may be afraid to leave and just need to know that we are there for them. I also believe the bulbs are shining on the perpetrators like an interrogation light that says, “We are watching.� You can get your lights at Vashon Youth & Family Services or at the Chamber of Commerce. I spent two years with a monster in my home. If I can save one child from that experience, it is worth all the money I could possibly give to charities this year.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Cats
Indoor cats are safer and happier In response to Kirk Beeler’s criticism of Sara Van Fleet’s letter about the lifespan of indoor cats vs. indoor/outdoor cats, one only need do a quick Internet search to see that virtually every site about this inquiry — from veterinarians to cat fancier groups — agree that indoor cats do in fact live longer (overall) than outdoor or indoor/outdoor cats. It is common sense that an indoor cat that is exposed to fewer dangers such as poisons, predators, diseases and traffic would live longer. And the toll on wildlife of all kinds is welldocumented as well.
I will add that a dog that is a true member of the family and that is not chained, abandoned by itself in a backyard or allowed to roam free will live a longer, happier and healthier life, too. It is all common sense. — Michelle Harvey
Research tells the truth about cats Kirk Beeler, in his recent letter to The Beachcomber (“No Need To Keep Cats Indoors�), questions the statements of a previous writer that indoor cats live three times longer than outdoor and/or indooroutdoor cats and that cats may not eat as many birds as it is claimed — and/or that dogs and people may eat just as many.

also appreciates the “rat, mice and mole control his cats do.â€? Mr. Beeler asks for research evidence. Well‌ A quick search of relevant research on the Internet, using the search criteria of “life span of outdoor vs. indoor cats research,â€? “cats killing birds researchâ€? and “cats and rats research,â€? yielded research results from the University of Wisconsin, the Illinois Department of Public Health and Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine that: t i*OEPPS DBUT IBWF BO average life span of 14 years, whereas outdoor-indoor cats have an average life span of only four years.â€? t i5IF 6OJWFSTJUZ PG Wisconsin’s Dr. Stanley Temple estimates that rural cats kill 39 million birds every year in Wisconsin alone.â€? t i)FSF T JT BOPUIFS XFMM reasoned calculation, by one of Audubon’s senior

In fact, rats may live in very close association with cats and dogs. Rats frequently live beneath a doghouse and soon learn they can feed on the dog’s food when he is absent or asleep. Although house cats, some dogs and other predators kill rats, they do not usually provide effective rat control.� These are all direct quotes from major university research groups. For me, the results of this quick Internet search serve to demonstrate the old maxim that “denial isn’t a river in Egypt.� Small streams of denial flow through all of us — especially those of us with lovable but naturally carnivorous and predatory pets, like cats.

Well, it’s that time again folks! Time to start battening down the hatches. It’s already snowing on Mt. Rainier and the predications are for a long, hard winter. Here are some hints to help you get ready. The sooner you do this, while it’s not too cold to work outside, the better your chances of being prepared
1. Clean the gutters! Water can penetrate into your walls and roofing and cause serious mold problems. 2. Call the heating and cooling contractors and have your furnace serviced and cleaned for the year. This is critical if you use a fuel like oil, propane or natural gas. This makes your furnace safer, but also saves you big bucks by running more efficiently. 3. Be sure you’re ready for power outages. A generator is fine, especially for pumping your well and running the refrigerator but don’t go overboard. A few days without the TV are good for you! Use battery or propane lamps, a battery powered radio for weather news and be sure you’ve stored plenty of water. 4. Clean decks and walkways now so the moss build-up won’t be too slippery. Consider putting non-skid strips or outdoor carpet on slick stairs. 5. Look around your yard for objects that can get lost under a few inches of snow. You don’t want to lose the dog’s favorite ball and you sure don’t want to step on a rake you forgot was there! 6. Be sure your car is serviced and checked out for winter driving. Have ice scrapping tools in the car and a warm blanket in the trunk in case you get stranded. 7. Try not to use portable heaters in the house and if you must, unplug them when you leave home. They are a major cause of fires. 8. Clean dryer vent and range vents. 9. Be sure there is a ready supply of warm coats, hats and gloves for each member of the family. 10. Have the chimney cleaned if you use wood heat, even occasionally. Fireplaces and woodstoves are another source of house fires.

HONKY TONK FUR BALL
Charles Backus Photo
Vashon Island Pet Protectors’ (VIPP) annual Fur Ball will be 3:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 23, at the Open Space for Arts & Community. The theme this year is the Honky-Tonkiest Fur Ball Ever and will feature plenty of Western ambience. The evening will include a live auction, silent auction, raffle and a “Buy It Now� board, all with a variety of items to bid on, including a Pam Ingalls oil painting, a diamond broach, a three-night stay at the Bull River Guest Ranch in British Columbia, a cord of firewood and Adam Cone’s scone recipe. Also up for bid will be the mosaic dogs, above, and mosaic cats, all created by Island artists. Cone and his wife Meghan Hastings, of Monkey Tree fame, are catering the sit-down dinner and will serve Southwestern vegetarian fare, including three-cheese macaroni, jalapeno candied sweet potatoes and sweet corn “cobettes� dressed in chili and lime. Organizers are hoping to make the event as “green� as possible, according to Jacquie Perry, the auction organizer. They will be using some of the No Trash Bash Stash, renting plates and using cloth napkins and tablecloths. Perry expects the 300 tickets to sell out. They are $45 in advance and $55 at the door and are available at Pandora’s Box, Fair Isle Animal Clinic, Books by the Way, Vashon Bookshop and online at www.brownpapertickets.com. It has been a challenging year for VIPP, Perry noted, with a ringworm problem at the cat shelter and many animals being turned over to VIPP because of their owners facing difficult economic circumstances. Last year VIPP had 129 cats and dogs spayed or neutered, provided other veterinary care to 327 cats and dogs, adopted out 119 cats and 48 dogs and returned 27 dogs and 16 cats to their owners. from his life of global health work, including being shot at while giving shots to children and how he came to to be arrested two different times by opposing sides in the Nigerian Civil War.

SCENE & HEARD Passport to Pain: The Vashon Island Rowing Club held its first ever “Passort to Pain� last month, when 53 people, including several from offIsland, particated in the 76mile benefit bicycle ride, which included a whopping 10,000 feet of elevation gain. Twentynine people finished the ride. In all, the ride raised more than $4,000, giving half to the food bank and half to Vashon Island Junior Crew. At right, scenes from the ride include bikers making the slog up a long hill, the stamping of a passport and Barney Gill relieved, at last, to be horizontal. 4IBOOPO -JQF 1IPUPT

ISLANDER WINS PRIZE FOR ARTS INNOVATION

A performer cooks up a theatrical feast A New Works show at the Blue Heron brings together a group of friends to celebrate life’s most delectable pleasures By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Arts Editor
&OSJRVF 1FSF[ 1IPUP
Eyvind Kang Eyvind Kang, an Island-based composer and multi-instrumentalist, has won this year’s prestigious Arts Innovator Award, given by the Seattle non-profit, Artist Trust. The award comes with an unrestricted $25,000 cash prize. Kang, a Vashon resident since 2003, was one of two recipients of the award; the other prize went to Seattle choreographer Pat Graney. The awards program is funded by The Dale and Leslie Chihuly Foundation and is meant to recognize Washington artists who originate new work, experiment with new ideas, take risks and push the boundaries in their respective fields. Kang’s work seems a perfect fit for those criteria. A classically trained musician, Kang creates music that is defined on his Wikipedia page as “a classical approach to jazz with punk, ambient and folk influences.� His ecumenical embrace of many different genres has led him to collaborate with musicians in Seattle, New York, Reykjavik, Bologna, Vienna and the Bay Area and pushed him to continue to hone his skills on the viola, violin, tuba, erhu, setar and all manner of other stringed instruments. Along the way, he has worked with the likes of Laurie Anderson, Beck, Bill Frisell and many other noted musicians. He has also performed and recorded with his wife, composer and vocal artist Jessika Kenney, and worked on many film, theater and dance pieces. Kang most recently performed on Vashon as part of “The Mystical Life of Rumi,� a concert put together by Kenney, and in December, he’ll release a new album, “With Visible Breath (I am Walking),� on the Ideologic Organ label. Kang, reached Saturday, said he was still in a state of disbelief about winning such a prestigious prize. “I didn’t expect it at all,� he said. “It was a good shock.� For Kang, the award has provided a measure of validation for his work. “I’m more confident that (my work) has meaning in this world, that it’s not just sophism and having fun — that it helps the soul,� he said. He has no special plans for the award money, he said, adding that he simply wants to continue composing, playing and practicing his art. “There’s a quickening — things are getting deeper for me, somehow,� he said. “The subject matters that I’m interested in are opening up to me more lately, and great teachers have appeared. I’ve been doing so much studying, it’s hard to think I’m a professional artist — I just feel like a student. So there is a balance between that and doing my work, because if I don’t do my work, no one else is going to do anything like it.� — Elizabeth Shepherd
V
ashon performer Arlette Moody is joining together with some of her closest Island friends on Friday and Saturday to present “More Feasting,� a variety show that she hopes will leave her audiences feeling pampered. “More Feasting� — a collection of 12 theater, music, dance and comedy vignettes — has been put together by Moody as part of Vashon Allied Arts’ ongoing New Works Series. The show, she said, is “about appreciating what we have and enjoying simple, delectable pleasures, like allowing someone to make you feel good by giving you a stroke on your check or having a little glass of wine and a conversation. Everyone wants to feel loved and appreciated.� To that end, Moody has invited some of the people she loves most on Vashon to be in the show, which will be staged at the Blue Heron on a set decorated with her own hand-made, crescent-shaped luminaries. The cast includes a group of singers, dancers and performers who are well known to Island audiences — Esther Edelman, Kathy Zbryck, Cathy de Smet, Lynelle Sjoberg, Abby Enson, Adrienne Selvey Mildon and Lyn McManus. Members of Moody’s own family will also make appearances. Funny man and UMO founding member Steffon Moody will perform a vignette in the show on Friday night only, and Steffon and Arlette’s 12-year-old daughter Louisa will help her mother close the show both nights with a special dance. Other prominent Islanders have also been enlisted to help behind the scenes. Actor, writer and theater impresario Kevin Joyce directed Moody’s opening number for the show, and choreographer Francois Serre y Berga choreographed a jazz trio piece that will be performed by Moody, Edelman and Zbryck. Audiences can also expect tender solo pieces by Moody, as she sings songs by her favorite songwriter, Kate Bush. Moody, who moved to Vashon 15 years ago, said she was thrilled to be sharing the stage with so many friends. “What a glorious thing to work with your friends on these creative projects — how lovely is that?� she asked. “I socialize through my work, so this was a great way to interact with my friends. It’s a very powerful thing to connect with other people, when you’re all singing the same thing together, or dancing together.� Moody also plans to connect with her audience during a special moment at the beginning of her show. “I might be gifting the audience with some little treats,� she hinted. “I love my audience and want them to feel so happy that they came.�

Backbone’s ‘Pink Zeppelin’ will fly high at the Bike Vashon musicians will line up this Friday to perform in a fundraiser for the Backbone Campaign, Vashon’s grassroots group that has made a national name for itself by agitating for progressive causes. The fundraiser, slated to take place at 8 p.m. Saturday at Red Bicycle Bistro, is dubbed “Pink Zeppelin,� a nod to two of the most famous bands in the history of rock music — Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Almost two dozen local music makers are signed up to play songs made famous by those iconic groups.
Performers will include such wellknown Island players as Bob Krinsky, Ron Hook, Steve Amsden, Luke McQuillin, Adrienne Selvey Mildon, Greg Parrott, Greg Dember, Pat Reardon, Fletcher Andrews and many others. “Pink Zeppelin� is the seventh in a series of annual musical fundraisers for the Backbone Campaign. Past themes have celebrated the music of the Beatles, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, Elvis and The Rolling Stones. Tickets to the event are $20, with all
proceeds benefitting the current work of The Backbone Campaign — providing imagery, training, and inspiration for the activist “occupations� taking place on Wall Street, Washington, D.C., downtown Seattle and other cities across the country. According to Backbone’s executive director Bill Moyer, the group is serving “as Vashon’s liaison to progressive social movements calling for fundamental reforms to our broken democracy and economic system.� — Elizabeth Shepherd

football field in the spring. Though many of the plants are young and short, chain link fences are visible and some areas are covered in black tarp, the pond is already a wilder place. Insects, ducks and other birds have moved into the area in larger numbers, and native frog and newt eggs were introduced there. Burrell’s students, taking in the sights at the pond with wide eyes and smiles, pointed out mushrooms and new plants they observed in the water, and some thought they saw tadpoles swimming around.

“It’s a lot funner than staying in the classroom,� said Gracie Zenner, a fifthgrader in Burrell’s class. “It’s funner than looking at the book and seeing a picture. Instead of looking at a book, you can really see it.� The fifth graders have started utilizing the pond by practicing simple observations. In the spring they will study amphibians there as part of Chautauqua’s new school-wide science curriculum, which was also funded by the Waterworks grant and written by Islander Trish Howard. Howard, who has volunteered at Chautauqua as a science coach, said it’s been a longtime dream of hers to see the school have a stronger science curriculum
that takes advantage of the school’s garden, large surrounding forest and detention pond. Her new curriculum, which she developed after receiving training that was also funded by the grant, gets every grade level out of the school building and into the outdoors. “It’s probably one of the best outdoor classrooms in the state,� Howard said. Burrell said she was thrilled to see the pond incorporated into the new science curriculum. In the spring her students will scoop up its water and study it under microscopes, looking for microscopic life. They’ll each develop their own investigations about the pond habitat, attempting to answer questions such as

how the water temperature influences what creatures live there. “It’s pretty rare that you have a school in an environment like this,� Burrell said. “Being able to access it and take advantage of the opportunity is wonderful.� Doug Swan, another fifth-grade teacher, said he is excited for his class to see what life appears at the pond by next spring. He thinks the new curriculum will get his students even more interested in science. “What’s great about it is it makes science real in their lives because its right outside our door,� he said. As Burrell’s class finished their lesson and made the trek back to their classroom, they passed another class of fifth graders and then a multi-age class making their way down the winding trail to the pond. Roxanne Lyons, the district’s curriculum director and one of the driving forces behind the pond project, said fourth-graders now visit the pond as part of their science lessons as well, and some high school science electives will take field trips there to do more advanced investigations and practice using tools such as water-testing devices. The pond won’t be used exclusively for science, however. Some elementary teachers, Lyons noted, have already taken their younger students to the pond for simple outdoor activities such as writing nature poetry. “It will be used across the district,� she said. She believes the opportunity to study science handson will get more students of all ages interested in science and perhaps encourage some to pursue continued study in the field. “It’s an amazing opportunity for kids to learn to be field scientists basically. ... I hope that in the process we create more scientists. We get kids who didn’t know how fun science could be and inspire them to study science,� she said. Though about $20,000 of the $73,000 Waterworks grant has been dedicated to the pond and new science curriculum, Lyons hopes future grants and continued volunteer work will allow the district to maintain the pond and even make improvements there. She envisions a day when plants are tall, the chain link fence is torn down and nearby sits an amphitheater that could double as a classroom space and concert area. “It’s another Vashon gem, and we’ll share it with the kids,� she said.

Vashon loses Homecoming game to Chimacum Cowboys By BRIAN BRENNO For The Beachcomber
Though the Pirates held the Chimacum Cowboys back for most of the first half of Friday’s Homecoming game, the night ended with a Chimacum win, 35-14. The Cowboys started the game with the ball, and the Pirates held them from scoring on their first three possessions. The Pirates moved the ball well in the first quarter — highlighted with a complete pass to Evan Anderson for 30 yards and strong running from Nick Betz — but were unable to score. Chimacum started the scoring after an interception that led to a field goal and a 3-0 lead. Peter Evans intercepted a Chimacum pass, ending their next possession. But the Cowboys got the ball right back with an interception for a touchdown, bringing the score to 9-0. Evans then intercepted another pass, but the half came to an end before the Pirates could score. After looking a little flat in the first half, the Pirates came out fired up. But the Cowboys returned a punt for a touchdown early, making the score 15-0. Vashon returned the kickoff to the 45-yard line and capped a nice drive that included a 20-yard run by Nick Betz with a 40-yard run for a touchdown by quarterback Nick Amundsen, putting the Pirates on the score-

On the next Chimacum possession, Kevin Thomas sacked the Cowboy quarterback for a 15-yard loss, but they continued their drive and scored again, widening Chimacum’s lead to 21-14.
Vashon suffered from two more turnovers and were unable to score again while Chimacum ended the game with two more touchdowns for a Cowboy win, 35-14. Vashon will play Life Christian next Saturday at Harry Lang Stadium in Lakewood. — Brian Brenno is the president of the Vashon Bounty Club.
After a tough loss to Seattle Christian, 7-2, on Tuesday, Oct. 4, the Vashon High School girls soccer team dominated the Charles Wright Academy side in an away game on Thursday, beating the Tarriers, 3-0. The first score came when Cat Amick took a pass from freshman midfielder Madison Chapman outside the 18 and worked her way to the left across the goal face. She put the ball out of the reach of the goalkeeper, high in the left side of the net. Shortly, Charles Wright made its best attack of the match. A hard shot was blocked by Vashon goalkeeper Courtney Gateman; the rebound was sent right back and Gateman’s quick reflex action again blocked the shot. A third

try was cleared by defender Mykah Shiosaki. Before halftime, left wing Lena DeGuzman lofted a well-placed ball from outside the 18 to Cat Amick, who cleanly headed it into the net for the Pirates’ second score. The second half was likewise dominated by Vashon. DeGuzman used her powerful left foot to place a free kick over the defenders and out of reach of the Charles Wright goalkeeper for Vashon’s third and final score. Four more games remain in league play, all of them to be played away. Additionally, two away games against bigger non-Nisqually league schools are scheduled to help the Vashon girls refine their game for post-season play.

Cross country team takes on the competition at Point Defiance By KEVIN ROSS For The Beachcomber
Anyone waiting to catch an early evening ferry at Point Defiance last Thursday had the opportunity to see the start and finish of the Pirates’ cross country meet, where the girls team took a close second behind Seattle Christian. Vashon went up against both Seattle Christian and Life Christian at a double-loop course beginning in the open grass area just across the street in Point Defiance Park. The afternoon meet began with seventh grader Eva Cyra turning in a time of 12:19 on the 1.5-mile middle school course. In the high school girls team competition, Vashon and Seattle Christian both earned 28 points, requiring a tiebreaking decision. The first tie-breaker is to compare each team’s number-six runner. Since Vashon and Seattle Christian did not
have a sixth runner, the tie-breaker was determined by adding up the first four team places instead of the first five. After all of this, it was Seattle Christian that ultimately won the meet over Vashon, 17-19 (the lower score wins). Madi Groen and Peri Roberts were a big help to the team, placing second and third overall. The boys had a tougher time, placing second behind Seattle Christian, which had 18 points to Vashon’s 54 points. However, many of the boys ran personal-best times on the 3.1-mile course. Seattle Christian has a nice pack of boys that run well together up front, which has benefited them this season. Pirate runners Ryan Krug and Nathan Williams both had strong races, and Codi Williams put in a great effort as well. — Kevin Ross is a cross country coach at Vashon High School.

McMurray boys soccer team wins first three games of season The McMurray Middle School boys soccer team is undefeated after their latest game against Seattle Christian, an away game where the Mustangs played well and coasted to a 10-4 win. McMurray’s starting varsity players, after gaining a large lead, were able to be rested. The reserves also played well, keeping Seattle Christian to only four goals. Scoring goals were Cole Jeffko (4), Gabe Reoux (3) and Sean Delargy, Chris Walker and Anthony Gateman, who each scored 1. The defending league champion Mustangs opened this year’s season at home against Cascade Christian and Charles Wright Academy. They had an easy
time of it against Cascade Christian, walking away with a 9-0 win on Sept. 27. Scoring for the Mustangs were Reoux (2), Jeffko (2), Bernard Cowen (2) and Walker, Bodi Mozeleski and Brett Beardsly, who all scored one. The next day the Mustangs battled to a 3-2 win against league rival Charles Wright. Goals were scored by Reoux, Jeffko and Mozeleski. McMurray took on Charles Wright again in an away game on Tuesday (after press deadline), and they will play Cascade Christian at home today at 4:30 p.m. — Bret Owensby

Though the Vashon High School football team lost its homecoming game to Chimacum, spirits were high and smiles bright during the festive halftime parade Friday night. Homecoming royalty paraded in cars around the track, followed by large and creative floats constructed by each class. Selected by their peers, royalty included freshmen Mykah Shiosaki and Nick Barker (above right), sophomores McKenna Ralston and Philip VanDevanter (bottom left), juniors Cate Stackhouse and Matt Swope (above middle), seniors Sloan Ralston and Noah Baseleon-Abbott (left) and the king and queen, seniors Carlie-Sue Anderson and Sam Crosby (top right). One of the most elaborate floats was a pirate ship constructed by the junior class (top left).

during the course of the ambitious tunnel project, except at the project’s completion, when the viaduct will be shut down for up to three weeks to connect the bridges to the finished tunnel, said Ka Deena Yerkan, a spokesperson for the state Department of Transportation. “That’s great news,� she said.

OUTDOOR SCHOOL CONTINUED FROM 1
“Business as usual is over,� he said. Several small but prized programs — many of which hold a special place in Vashon’s community of parents and civic boosters — are no longer receiving district dollars and, as a result, are hanging on by a thread. The much-heralded third-grade music program was salvaged this year after Bettie Edwards, owner of The Little House, found an anonymous donor who could cover the costs of the pianist and music. Diane Brenno, aka the Lunch Lady, got a one-time grant from the PTSA that will enable her to keep her popular lunch-hour program at Chautauqua going for this year. But without district funding, its future is in doubt, she said, and she plans to begin a cookie dough sale this month to try to keep it afloat. And parents like Merrill are engaged in an ambitious fundraising campaign to ensure that fifth-graders can once again attend Camp Waskowitz, a tradition now in its fourth decade. Merrill admits to some self-interest. She and her husband
Austin, who not only went to Camp Waskowitz as a fifthgrader but also worked there as a high school counselor, returned to the Island 13 years ago in large part because they wanted their children to also experience the famous camp program. Last year, their fifth-grade daughter attended Waskowitz and loved it, Merrill said. “I want my second-grader to also be able to go,� she said. As a result, she signed up to be PTSA’s vice president this year, and during the community street dance last month, she sold $550 worth of snow cones in front of Movie Magic Espresso, a business she owns. But she and several other parents who are trying to save the program — including fundraising powerhouses such as Lauri Hennessey and Glynis Delargy — worry that without a hard push by several parents and community members, they won’t be able to raise the $10,000 to $15,000 they need to supplement the portion that parents pay to send their kids to the camp. “As a fundraiser, I can say that raising $15,000 between now and the end of the school year is pretty daunting,� said Hennessey, whose son is in the fifth grade. A car wash usually brings in about $600, she noted. A bake sale can reap $400. “What I’m hearing is that parents love the program. But the question is, do they love the program enough to raise this money,� she said.

Jody Metzger, principal at Chautauqua, agreed to reserve dates for the school’s 100 fifth-graders to attend the camp at the end of the school year after a group of parents told her they planned to fill in the gap. Parents of fifth-graders, as in years past, will likely pay around $190 for their son or daughter’s weeklong experience. But the program actually costs more than $300 per child, Metzger said, adding, “I can’t use any school funds.� “If the parents don’t raise the money,� she added, “it won’t happen.� Located outside of North Bend, Camp Waskowitz — a picturesque cluster of lodge-style cabins perched near the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River — was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935. Today, the 372-acre site is owned by the Highline School District and is both a state and national historic preservation site because it’s one of only two remaining CCC camps in the country with all of its original buildings still standing. Parents say the camp is life-changing for some students, especially those who haven’t been able or willing to spend much time away from home. “It made a huge difference for our daughter in terms of her self-confidence and independence,� said Laura Wishik, who chairs the school board. “We weren’t sure she’d make it through the week. She came back just so matured in a lot of ways.� Other parents say the program acts as a kind of rite of passage, marking the ending of their kids’ elementary school years at the small, tight-knit elementary school and ushering them into the world of middle school. The students also share cabins with students from other schools, many of which are far more ethnically and racially diverse than Chautauqua. “The opportunity to meet and live with kids from places other than Vashon and to get to know them on a very personal basis is a really big benefit,� said Kay Burrell, a fifthgrade teacher who started working at Chautauqua in 1986 and has taken countless classes to the camp. Students often talk about it for years, she added. And many return as high schoolers to be camp counselors. “It’s such a tradition on Vashon,� she said. Hennessey, Delargy and some of the other parents involved in the fundraising campaign say they believe they’ll find the money to send this year’s crop of fifth-graders to the camp. Metzger, too, said she believes the parents will come through. But bigger questions about the program’s future linger, in part because such ambitious fundraising efforts are hard to sustain over time, they said. “I think we’re going to pull it off,� said Delargy. “Do I know that we can continually pull it off every year? I don’t know.� But the funding problem, she and others noted, is bigger than Camp Waskowitz, bigger even than the Vashon school district. “I just think there are hard choices everywhere,� Delargy said.

State Sen. Sharon Nelson will hold a legislative update and answer questions regarding the latest statewide budget shortfall and its implications for public education at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 18, at McMurray Middle School. The Scholastic Book Fair from Oct. 19 to 28 will raise money for Camp Waskowitz. The book fair will be held in Chautauqua from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will be open during parent/teacher conference days and the Harvest Festival (see below). All proceeds go to support the fifthgrade trip to the camp. A Harvest Party Carnival will be held at Chautauqua from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28, sponsored by the PTSA. The event, which will cost $5 for children ages 5 to 12 and be free for adults, teens and those under 4, will raise money for a number of school-related causes, including McMurray’s Exploratory Week, the Class of 2013’s end-ofyear celebration and the fifth-grade excursion to Camp Waskowitz.

tabby cat that was never claimed. He is FIV positive but don’t let that scare you away. He is a very gentle cat with a handsome face and his best friend is Neville. He would need to be an indoor cat and you can read about FIV on the VIPP website. He is a great cat that appreciates everything. He would love to get adopted with his best friend.
NEVILLE was found hanging
Lola Perfectly sweet! This year old lab mix puppy is a little doll. She loves the water, the ball, other doggies to play with and YOU! She is learning basic obedience and that jumping up is not the only way to express herself. She will make a wonderful lifelong companion. If you would like to meet Lola, contact Cindy, Vashon Island Pet Protectors, at 206-463-0941. There is a $125 adoption fee. Follow VIPP on Facebook -http://www. facebook.com/pages/Vashon-Island-PetProtectors-wwwvipporg/100662740020048

FEDERICO is a found brown
around a gang of fixed feral cats but since he has come to VIPP he’s turned into a real love bug. He is soft and very sweet and is best buddies with a cat named Federico.
