An ambitious effort to rebuild habitat is unfolding along Judd Creek
Farmers find it’s hard to get produce into schools
By LESLIE BROWN

This winter, when the pond at Singer Farm tops its banks, the excess water will cascade over a sinuous trail of boulders and rocks, passing by native shrubs and trees before spilling into Judd Creek some 50 yards away. It didn’t used to be this way. The pond used to service cattle, animals that would wander through this sloping pasture adjacent to Judd Creek, trammeling creekside vegetation in the process. The nitrogen in their waste would seep into the water, pollutants that would make it all the way to Quartermaster Harbor. Now, thanks to a set of agreements and property transactions between the Singer family and the Vashon-Maury Island Land Trust, as well as support from King County, a transformation is taking place in this once-barren cow pasture — part of a bigger effort by the land trust to restore Vashon’s largest watershed. Over the last several months, a small land trust crew brought in a backhoe and created the stream bed that now snakes from the

See page 23. “I think the fact that it’s so close shows that both of them are really well regarded and have lot of people willing to campaign for them and actively support them, as opposed to just vote for them,” he said. Hennessey said that since VIFR transitioned from an all-volunteer department to having some paid responders about a decade ago,
Last winter, Vashon farmer Joe Yarkin sold $40 of sunchokes to the Vashon Island School District, the beginning, many thought, of a farm-to-school program that would build on the district’s popular makeover of its lunch program. Since then, Vashon growers say, they’ve taken several steps to bring the farm-to-school program to fruition. They secured $10,000 in grants to support the effort, formed a new growers cooperative called Vashon Island Producers Co-Op, or VIPCO, and purchased a $1 million insurance policy to cover liability. Some have also begun to develop food safety programs appropriate to their smallscale growing operations. But no produce — short of those tubers from the Yarkin farm — has made it to the district’s three cafeterias. The reason is that the school district is also requiring that farmers’ food safety programs get certified by a third-party — an independent professional, in other words, who can look at the farmers’ safety plans, walk their land and declare their operations safe. Both Tom French, the Whidbey Island-based chef the district hired to remake the school lunch program, and Superintendent Michael Soltman say the requirement makes sense. “It’s pretty common in the industry,” French said of the third-party certification requirement. But some farmers say French is overstating the need by calling it a government requirement, not one of the district’s own choosing. In the October issue of “Soundings,” the school district’s newsletter, French is quoted as saying that

They planted hundreds of native trees and shrubs — cedar and cottonwoods, ninebark and dogwood — that will eventually provide a swath of riparian habitat along the new stream. Bullrushes and sedges
now line the pond, the beginnings of what land trust staff call an emergent wetland. Tom Dean, the director of the land trust, Abel Eckhardt, the land trust’s steward, and Beth Bordner, its operations manager, walked the

VIFR race between Ulatoski, McCullough too close to call As of Monday, 21 votes separated the candidates By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
The candidates for Position 4 on Vashon Island Fire & Rescue’s board of commissioners were still holding their breath Monday, waiting for final results in a close race that may not be called until the end of the month. While incumbent Ron Turner has taken a clear victory in the race for Position 1 on the board, only 21 votes on Monday separated incumbent Candy McCullough and challenger
Joe Ulatoski, two high-profile Islanders vying for Position 4. Ulatoski was a hair ahead with 50.16 percent of the vote, or 1,681 votes. McCullough had 49.54 percent or 1,660 votes. Initial returns from last Tuesday’selection gave Ulatoski a slightly larger lead. That lead has grown narrower, however, as the county tallied additional votes in the past few days and more came in for McCullough. Updated results will be announced each weekday at 4:30 p.m., with final results coming on Nov. 30. “It’s just a cliffhanger,” Ulatoski said. “The Island is expressing its preference. We’ll have to hold our breath and see what way it ends up.” Bob Hennessey, a school board member who has closely followed the election, said he’s not

%JTUSJDU BQQSPWFT XBUFS IPPL VQT GPS NPUIFS JO MBX BQBSUNFOUT TUVEJPT Water District 19’s three commissioners unanimously approved a policy last week allowing homeowners to develop small rental units on their property without having to obtain an additional water hook-up. But homeowners will have to submit an engineer’s report that shows they can serve both their home and a rental without exceeding the equivalent use of one share, said Steve Haworth, who chairs the board. “It’s not perfect. It’s not foolproof. ... But it’s a small step toward ... putting us in conformity with the rest of the county,� he said. Under the district’s current policy, those customers who want to develop what’s called an accessory dwelling unit have to obtain an additional water share from the agency — tough to come

by because of the district’s long-standing moratorium on new shares. The new policy, which goes into effect Jan. 1, means a handful of homeowners will be able to develop such units without going on the district’s lengthy waiting list. Haworth said he expects no more than 10 homeowners a year will take advantage of the new rule. “We’re not talking about hundreds of new buildings,� he said. The issue has garnered concern over the years because of District 19’s ongoing water shortage. But Haworth said that conservation measures as well as new water sources have led to a slight surplus, enabling the shift in policy. “If it’s a sudden flood and we’re giving out more water than we thought, we could change it,� he added.

About five emergency vehicles responded to the incident, which took place at about 9:30 Wednesday morning. By the time responders arrived, several other drivers had already stopped to try to help.

Vashon-Maury is a unique rural environment in an otherwise developed regional landscape. There is nothing similar to this place for fifty miles in any direction: Vashon has pastoral areas similar to Lopez; there are wildly verdant rain forests reminiscent of coastal wilderness; there is little traffic (except when the ferry off loads), and people tend to say, “Hi,� to you, whether they know you or not. There are only two shopping malls (located in the town core) and no places where the houses are exactly like the next door neighbor’s. The reason for this is that the Island petitioned King County to be zoned rural in the early 1970’s, so in many regards, large-scale development froze at that point. Vashon has many happy secrets that are not apparent when you are shopping in stores on the one-block-long main street.

Large crowd shows to learn about Tacoma smelter pollution cleanup By NATALIE JOHNSON
Staff Writer Islanders came out in full force last Wednesday night for a meeting to learn about and comment on the state’s plan to test and clean yards contaminated by the Tacoma smelter plume. Questions from the nearly 200 people who packed into the cafeteria at McMurray Middle School ran the gamut from doubts about the risk posed by the pollution and concerns about the cleanup process to an inquiry about growing berries in contaminated soil and questions about real estate transactions with contaminated property. Representatives from the state Department of Ecology (DOE) gave a short presentation and stayed for more than an hour to answer a long list of questions —
mostly posed by residents of Maury Island and southern Vashon Island, the areas on Vashon most affected by the historic pollution. “You win the award for largest crowd at a meeting for DOE,� joked Hannah Aoyagi, a DOE Toxics Cleanup Program representative, at the beginning of the meeting. She later said that 50 people had attended to the first meeting in north Tacoma. In a cleanup program set to begin at the end of next year, the state is prepared to spend about $64 million on soil remediation at properties in the Puget Sound region with the highest levels of arsenic and lead contamination, including 2,400 residences on Vashon and Maury islands. DOE representatives explained that properties

though they recommended residents take precautions such as washing hands after handling soil. “It sounds like a lot of money, but it’s not enough to address every property that has over 20 parts per million,� said Amy Hargrove, who is with DOE’s Soil Safety Program. “We don’t have nearly enough money to clean up the entire plume area.� There was a somber mood at the meeting. Some who
spoke expressed frustration that their property was polluted, but none who spoke expressed anger at the state. Many simply wanted to know more about the health risks posed by the contaminants. Aoyagi, who helped lead the question-and-answer period, said that some people who have lived in the contaminated area for years have been found to have higher levels of arsenic in

their bodies. And though scientists have linked arsenic exposure to a variety of health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer, local populations are too small for studies to show higher instances of the diseases in the plume area. “We have not shown a strong link between the Tacoma smelter plume and health impacts,� she said. 4503: $0/5*/6&4 /&95 1"(&

One woman seemed to question whether those in the contamination area were truly at risk. “I’ve lived here for 17 years, and I don’t know anyone who has gotten these diseases,� she said. Aoyagi pointed out that the threshold for cleaning soil was high, based on a one in a million cancer risk. “Our cleanup levels are somewhat conservative,� she said. One man said it seemed unfair that his property value had gone down because of the pollution while there is no proven health risk. “It’s sad,� he said. When one woman in the front of the room suggested that owners of contaminated properties should get a break in their taxes, the room erupted into applause. Bob Norton, a well-known fruit grower with a farm at his Maury Island home, asked if he should be concerned about his fruit. “What is the possibility that the produce I’m growing and taking to the farmers market might be contaminated and I could be liable?� he asked. Aoyagi said the only produce that is known to absorb significant amounts of pollutants are lettuce and leafy greens. Then later when a young man asked whether any vitamins or supplements would prevent the body’s absorption of the heavy metals, Aoyagi said she often recommends a diet high in leafy greens to get certain vitamins.

“But don’t grow them directly on your site,� she added quickly, a comment met with laughter from the audience. Some expressed frustration that the proposed testing program would begin in Tacoma. The neighborhood-by-neighborhood testing and cleanup is currently not planned to come to Vashon for another two or three years. One man was worried the state may run out of funds before making it to the Island. “You can’t just leave us on this poison soil and say you’re sorry,� he said. Another man suggested that those who have already had soil tests done or pay to test their soil sooner should get the cleanup sooner as well. “Is there any reason why you can’t go ahead and do that?� he said. Hargrove seemed open to the idea, and emphasized that the plan wasn’t set in stone yet. “That would be a great comment to put in writing,� she said. “You can say in a written comment that you’d like to be prioritized.� And while some seemed sure to turn in a written comment requesting that Vashon’s polluted yards be addressed sooner than later — even suggesting the state should pay them for doing the work themselves — others seemed resigned to the process. As one man commented, “I’m guessing it’s not a good time to reseed my lawn.�

motion, Savage went to a female witness’ home in the middle of the night and yelled and ranted at her for 45 minutes, insisting that her account of the incident in front of the Sportsmen’s Inn was wrong. After the sheriff’s office received several complaints from Islanders about Savage, he was reassigned to White Center while the agency investigated. According to documents obtained by KING 5, a top-ranking commander ultimately ruled that Savage had committed misconduct 18 times during his nine months on Vashon. While patrolling in South King County, Savage continued to receive complaints, including one that he made inappropriate comments about sex and drugs to a 15-yearold girl, according to KING 5. He was put on paid administrative leave in June of this year. In all, Savage was the target of 17 internal investigations and has had 26 findings of misconduct during his two years working for King County. Mueller, reached at his office on Monday, said he agreed that Savage should be fired. He also said he wondered if there would be a criminal investigation. “There were obviously serious complaints stemming from what I saw as his activity on Vashon,� he said.

Kevin Savage, a King County sheriff’s deputy who racked up several complaints during his short time patrolling Vashon in 2010, was fired last week, according to sheriff’s spokesperson Sgt. Cindi West. In an internal email, Chief Deputy Steve Strachan said he decided to terminate Savage after finding that he engaged in unbecoming conduct, practiced inappropriate use of authority and made false or fraudulent reports or statements. “The pattern of behavior and the lack of integrity are completely unacceptable for a member of this department,� Strachan wrote. Savage was involved in a high-profile incident on Vashon in May of 2010, when local restaurant owner Jessica DeWire scratched Savage’s partner outside of the Sportsmen’s Inn and was later charged with third-degree assault. Witnesses at the time claimed that Savage’s partner had thrown DeWire to the ground before she scratched him in defense. One year ago DeWire’s attorney Steve Mueller filed a motion for charges against DeWire to be dismissed. Mueller said that Savage acted as a bully after the incident and with his partner filed a false report about it. Mueller said Savage used profanity-laced language, physical posturing and threats to intimidate witnesses of the event in an effort to assure that his false report stood up. In one instance, Mueller wrote in the

EDITORIAL
An unfortunate encounter in the woods
Citizen journalists help to keep the conversation real
When poachers hunt in our woods, accidents can occur
A friend periodically questions me about citizen journalism, the role ordinary people are playing — on blogs, YouTube and elsewhere — in getting news about their community out and into the world. It clearly has its place. As I write this editorial, police are clearing Zuccotti Park in New York City of protesters, encamped there as part of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Reporters may not be able to get to the center of the action. Footage and photos shot by those within the camp — by those who may end up in jail — will likely help to tell a powerful story. But it won’t be the whole story, nor will it be presented with a dispassionate voice — a voice some of us find credible in this polarized society of ours. Citizen journalism, amplified by the powerful engine called social media, is gaining traction and having an impact — but the results are mixed. On the one hand, such first-hand accounts are giving us a window into the world at a time when news organizations, facing financial hardships, are cutting back on reporters in the field. When Katrina hit New Orleans, reports from the front lines came not from trained journalists but by those who were watching their homes get destroyed. When reporters fail to do their job or cutbacks by news companies mean important events go unreported, citizen journalists are jumping in, sometimes holding the news industry accountable for its failures. But there’s a downside. These “reports� are often crafted by those who have a stake in the issue, one that is not clearly or honestly revealed. They sometimes carry the trappings or tone of real journalism but, in fact, are written or produced by those who have not been trained in the craft, those who carry neither the weight nor the responsibility of a profession that has evolved and matured over time. Some of those issuing reports have a left-wing agenda, others a right-wing one. Few are trying to tell a story dispassionately and objectively. How does this play out on Vashon? At The Beachcomber, we welcome tips and story ideas, news releases and commentaries. When a car careens off the highway, as happened last week, we find out about it because someone driving by thinks to call us. When there’s a suspicious death in our community, someone, invariably, calls us. We’re a tiny staff. We can’t be everywhere. But we’re also careful about what we place in our news columns. We know those who write for us. We rarely run news releases verbatim. We put taglines after stories, ensuring as much transparency as possible. The need for such vigilance became clear last week, when the mayor of a city in Utah announced he’d been writing news stories — and sometimes quoting himself — under a pseudonym; the Deseret News, facing cutbacks and in need of copy, ran those pieces, not knowing, it turns out, who this freelancer was. Newspapers play an important role in society, and we believe The Beachcomber plays a vital role on Vashon. We hope Islanders will continue to engage in a conversation with us, even as we work to keep our journalistic standards high. — Leslie Brown, editor
I thought, “Oh good. I’m going to land on that fluffy moss.� Very deceptive, that moss. It disguises hardpan and it also grows under trees. I hit the ground with a crunch, the leading edge of my helmet buried about a quarter inch into soft bark. At first, it was weird quiet. Then, I could hear my horse’s hoof beats as she headed back to the barn. I halfway wanted the poachers to emerge from hiding again and offer to help. They must know that they had spooked my horse. Surely they’d seen her do a tight, quick pirouette while 30 feet off the ground. Surely they’d noticed I hadn’t made it through the pirouette. But there was no more noise. Nary a trace of camo gear. I hoped they were hunkered down in cold, sucking mud; that a large clan of earwigs had sent out their best scout. I held that thought while assessing the damage. 1) I wasn’t dead or dying. 2) No blood. 3) Even though I was way, way too close to a tree trunk, nothing important was broken. All of the above took place in maybe 45 seconds, in that strange, frozen time that accompanies a
Teen drinking
-FU T DPOTJEFS B NPSF IVNBOF XBZ UP BEESFTT UIF JTTVF PG WBHSBOUT The Vashon Alliance to Reduce Substance Abuse (VARSA) is taking on the problem of teen drinking in our community, which, as a mother of three, I fully support. But there is another population of drinkers that is getting caught in this net, and we may experience some unintended consequences if we don’t try to understand the issues unique to them. The people I am talking about are the older vagrants who inhabit the Village Green much of the time. I doubt that environmental changes will affect their drug use patterns as effectively as with teenagers who have a home and parents with whom to spend their time. I am not aware of a teenage drinking problem in the center of town. ADVERTISING

We will never have a population 100 percent free of vagrants. Therefore, the “solutionâ€? we seek has to be in how we manage the safety and housing for these people. Out of site, out of mind is not going to make them go away. The solutions proposed so far are to put in a motion sensor light at the Village green and possible folding tables so people can’t occupy them, shorten all the bushes so people can’t hide, take out the little park at the pharmacy and remove the eucalyptus tree. I can’t help but wonder where these people are supposed to go or whose backyard or woods they will inhabit if we drive them out of town. Is a no sitting, no vegetation policy really what we want in our town center? Is it effective in the case of the people who depend on someplace sheltered to be? Is a one-size-ďŹ ts-all solution realistic? I don’t think stripping our town center of vegetation,

stapled on the barn wall where I board my horse citing hunting laws and regulations, seasons and weapons allowed. I called the man responsible. Rick Frye is not a hunter, seems to be more on my anthropomorphic side of the line. He does work with legitimate hunters, though, who don’t want poachers around either. Rick has posted his information all over Vashon. Washington has their turn-in-a-poacher site: reportpoaching@dfw.wa.gov and/ or wdfw.wa.gov/poaching. Even though I learned a lot, government websites are not known for their quick reaction times. What to do? A mounted posse dedicated to hunting down poachers has great appeal, but the possible downside to that idea is a little too down. What might help is for property owners to post more signs and make sure the ones they do have are clearly visible. Be aware. Watch. Poachers usually have trucks with canopies or tarps; quite often they advertise their intent with gun racks. They drive slowly, hanging out the windows, searching for areas with easy prey. They don’t have chins. As for the poachers I encountered? I hope that large earwig clan had enough time to establish cozy, new orifice homes in which to raise their families. Above all, be careful out there.

shock. In real time, I stood — ow! — and yelled my horse’s name. She slid to a stop. I called her again. She was not a happy animal, but she came back. (Many equestrians will state as fact that once horses head for the barn, the ex-rider is in for a hike. Not my horse, the uppity, overly sensitive Arabian. And I stick to my belief that it’s our mystical connection, not thousands of carrots.) I wouldn’t have to walk back or worry about her streaking across a road. As we came up the hill and out of the woods, I heard the poachers’ gunfire. The day this happened was outside hunting season. And that shouldn’t have mattered anyway because the area where I ride is posted: No hunting. No trespassing. There are houses and welltraveled roads nearby. Still, my run-in with poachers shouldn’t have surprised me because the previous weekend I’d witnessed what I hoped never, ever to see. A mortally injured deer had made it as far as the barn where I board my horse. That sad, cruel image haunts me. I’ve called the King County Sheriff’s Office a couple of times: You have to see the poachers then call 911. Law enforcement can’t do anything after the fact unless you’re in a position to I.D. specifics. I also contacted county and state agencies and haven’t received a response. Well, then.

It’s time to start dreaming up excuses for your various holiday failings If you’re a guy like me who is not a fan of the holidays, you might be worrying about upcoming seasonal obligations that you will fail to meet and for which you must create a decent excuse. Things like why you didn’t get a present for your mother-in-law, or why your contribution to the cookie exchange is in a container labeled “Bob’s Bakery.� In my years on this planet, I’ve heard more excuses than a high school English teacher. Rarely are they believable or creative, leaving me to conclude that for most people it’s best to just tell the truth. But I also know that it takes an Eagle Scout to tell the truth all the time. I’ve observed that men typically craft world views that are blind to their errors, which suggests excuse making comes naturally to males. Women, on the other hand, admit their mistakes freely and are brutally honest about yours (or mine anyway). So for the holidays I’ve decided to offer you men of Vashon
HUMOUR By GREG WESSEL some pearls of wisdom and gems of advice about creating excuses so that you don’t wind up being accused of losing the family jewels. When crafting an excuse, you can either shoot for believability or creativity. Either way, you’ll be ... how can I put this gently ... lying. But you can either strive to get away with the deception or make up something so outrageous that people will forgive you because they enjoy your story. When it comes to outrageousness, you’ve already got an edge because you are from Vashon. People already expect you to be a wacko, and you needn’t disappoint them!

Excuses fall into two categories: A) those that involve only you, and B) those that blame someone else. Any knucklehead can craft a Category B excuse. What you need to master is Category A excuses, because those are the ones that are least likely to backfire. Just think of all those Category B excuses you’ve already used and how ineffective they were. Classics like “my mother died� or “my dog ate the paper� or “my sister is pregnant� or “my father died� or “my sister ate the paper� or “my father is pregnant.� Everyone has heard those, and your recently deceased mother may be reincarnated at the cookie exchange. A truly effective excuse should cause the targeted person to feel sorry for you. For example, if you are stopped for speeding on the way to the ferry, you might say “Sorry, Officer, but my gaspedal leg seizes up from the Tet Offensive shrapnel I’m still carrying.� This excuse works on several levels, and has on more than
speaking to our community. But using Facebook accounts seems to endorse this social network — about which we have grave reservations — and shuts those of us who choose not to use Facebook out of an important medium of community dialogue. Facebook is a corporation which profits by mining personal data from its users and selling that data to other corporations. People using Facebook’s “free� service miss the reality that they themselves are the source of profit and that advertisers use personal data to target them and their “friends.� More subtly, Facebook intentionally exposes users to products, ideas and people that they are expected to like (and click on). Other products, ideas and people — those that are different from the users’ past choices — are not shown. Similar to the systems used by other seemingly neutral information sources (such as search engines), the system is biased to show people things that they will like. This reduces dialogue and exchange

Silent Heroes
What makes a democracy?
Many say it takes a village to raise a child, but there are a special few in our village of Vashon that do so very much for so very many, but from behind the scenes‌ Norm Mathews is one of these silent heroes.
For his ever supportive caring, and for really being a man who ‘walks his talk’, let us tip our hats to our neighbor and silent Island hero, Norm Mathews!
Participation in elections in this country is what makes it a democracy. The winners, whoever they may be, are selected by the voters and must represent the entire community. With this in mind, I would like to thank everyone who voted in this election and specifically everyone who voted for me, who endorsed me and who contributed to my campaign for fire commissioner. The faith so many of you placed in me by your actions was, win or lose, overwhelming to say the least. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is one of the things that make Vashon truly a special place.

For the 23 years I have lived here, he has always come through when the need was great, but always without fanfare, without acknowledgement.
one occasion sufficed to get me ... I mean, a speeder ... off the hook. There are three components to an effective Category A excuse: 1) the setup, meaning the condition leading to your failure, 2) the impact, or how that condition affected you, and 3) the result, or what the impact caused. Sometimes one of these is “silent,� like the “P� in psychotic. To prepare for the holiday season, make a list of possible Vashon setups and keep it handy. Here are a few to get you started: a wind storm or power outage, a flat tire, an out-of-service ferry, a terminal illness (later cured), a bad cold (practice your coughing), an attack by raccoons, sighting a UFO or the sudden onset of male-pattern baldness. When someone reminds you that you were supposed to get a present for your mother-in-law for a party that very evening, you can pull out your list and say you were attacked by raccoons while fixing a flat tire in the dark on the way to the store to get both
of ideas among people of diverse views, undermines awareness of real-world facts, increases political polarization and damages actual communities, including ours. Obviously, people are using Facebook for fun and profit; it can be used for positive purposes including political organizing that we support. Yet this medium undermines personal privacy, supports separation and distrust among people of differing viewpoints and transforms pri-
her present and a hat for your bald head, and the store was closed by the time you got your rabies shot. It’s safe to assume that this approach will not work on your wife or girlfriend more than a few times, so choose your times wisely. And for those times when you find she is mad at you and you don’t know why, you’ll need the mother of all excuses, which is really more of an apology. Just go up to her and say with heartfelt sincerity, “Dear, I’m really sorry I screwed up. I hope you can forgive me. I’ll never do it again.� And then say nothing more. If she asks you what you are talking about, say “I’m sorry; I can’t bear to talk about it. Please just forgive me.� Provided you don’t repeat whatever it was that was bothering her, you can plan on a good evening. Make sure there’s a bottle of wine in the pantry, because you’ll need it either way. — Greg Wessel is a Vashon resident, geologist and Eagle Scout.

SCENE & HEARD: The Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirt was founded in 1912 and recently jumpstarted its centennial year by dedicating and blessing a new processional cross. “It symbolizes, first of all, our desire as a parish to be led by the Spirit into our second century,� said Rev. Carla Pryne. “It was also important to me that this cross reflect something of who we are as Episcopalians whose home is Vashon Island. And so the cross is made of cedar: wood from our part of the world.� The project manager was John Moore, and the carver was Wanda Moore, shown here.
Understand the King County Comprehensive Plan Learn about the draft 2012 King County Comprehensive Plan update and share your comments at the Vashon Maury Island Community Council at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 21, at McMurray Middle School. Paul Reitenbach, senior policy analyst with King County and the Comprehensive Plan project manager, will take comments and answer questions. Every four years, King County undertakes a major review of its comprehensive plan. The 2012 plan, currently out for review and comment, constitutes a major review. Through this four-year review, substantive amendments to policies and changes to the Urban Growth Area can be considered. The three documents that shape the plan are the King County Strategic Plan, VISION 2040 and the 2011 King County Countywide Planning Policies. VISION 2040, which was adopted by the General Assembly of the Puget Sound Regional Council in April 2008, is a regional strategy to accommodate the population and job growth expected by 2040 in the four-county Puget Sound region. Major changes have been made in several areas. The Environment Chapter has been restructured to reflect the role of the new Puget Sound Partnership in coordinating restoration of Puget Sound. The Transportation Chapter has been updated to reflect the county’s continuing transition from being both an urban and
rural service provider for roads to becoming primarily a rural road service provider as the urban unincorporated area is annexed into neighboring cities. The chapter also addresses the challenges of providing transportation services and infrastructure in a time of growing need and severely constrained financial resources. The Facilities and Services Chapter has been updated to ensure consistency with specific operational plans, such as the Flood District Plan and the Energy Plan. Further, the water planning policies have been streamlined and revised to provide clarity on the county’s role in water planning in the region. The Economic Development Chapter has been revised to reflect changes that have occurred in ongoing regional, county and local economic development programs and partnerships over the last few years. Land use highlights on Vashon are the Vashon Town Plan Updates, which address support for bicycles and alternative modes of transportation, rural town design guidelines, water conversation and other issues identified by the community. The public review draft of these proposed amendments is available for review at www.kingcounty.gov/property/permits/ codes/growth/CompPlan.aspx The deadline for submitting comments is Dec. 23. — Joan Sells

The seventh and eighth grade McMurray math teams placed second and first, respectively, in Division II of the Seattle regional Math Is Cool competition on Friday, Nov. 4. More than 360 students from 28 schools competed in three divisions. The division a school competes in is based on the size of the school. Both grades earned invitations to send their best four-person team to the statewide competition in Moses Lake on Dec. 3. The eighth-grade team will be represented by Alden Rogers, Emily Arnesen, Natalie VandeVanter and Molly Dillon. The seventh-grade team will be represented by Alex Goth, Aryeh Stahl, Nick Spranger and Anne Kehl. Above, the first-place eighth-grade team, with coach Mark Ripley, is all smiles.

THEATER REVIEW
Students take on a play that confronts a painful truth “The Laramie Project� explores the insidious nature of homophobia By REBECCA WITTMAN For The Beachcomber
F
ences. Where I grew up, fences were built neither for decoration nor for making good neighbors. Fences were utilitarian constructs, there for keeping the critters in and, in the olden days, the rustlers out — those bad guys who could slip in in the dark of night and steal away your assets and your security.
Last weekend I attended Vashon High School’s production of “The Laramie Projectâ€? and was struck by the fact that both the program and the set were dominated by the image of a fence eerily reminiscent of those on my family’s ranch. It was a benign, almost romantic photograph, central to the set and reprised as a sketch on the program cover. But this was no romantic fence, and certainly not benign. This was a fence representative of a horrific event — a fence that failed to keep anything good in or anything bad out. This fence served famously as a hitching post for hatred. “The Laramie Projectâ€? is a learning opportunity for every person who thinks he or she has a handle on the gay-bashing issue — a teachable moment for those who live in the cocoon of a “live and let liveâ€? community like Vashon Island, as well as those who still refer to homosexuality as a lifestyle. “Anytime you call someone a fag, ‌ that is the seed of violence.â€? The script is composed of quotes from interviews with the citizens of Laramie, Wyo. It’s a reluctant accounting of the murderous actions of two of their children, kids who decided one night to teach a “fagâ€? a lesson after they tied him to that fence. Ultimately, those kids taught the whole world a lesson, that for all the posturing about communities being mostly comprised of “good people,â€? the greater fact remains that societal and religious forces still grant people quiet license to abuse one segment of humanity. That license is made manifest in the words of too many “good peopleâ€? portrayed throughout the play. “It’s tough business to be gay

From left: Anna Rose Warren, Charlie O’Brien, Sage Everett, Else Spencer and Hannah Scheer act in “The Laramie Project.â€? in cowboy country.â€? Chuckle, chuckle. Translation: He was warned. What did he expect? Matthew Shepherd made Laramie famous. The townspeople hated it when his murder in 1998 became their identity. They resisted these interviews. “I hope, when you think of this town, you can see something besides a crime.â€? But what of Matthew Shepherd, forever known as just a kid who was murdered because he was gay? “Matthew Shepherd was just a name, not an individual.â€? Both town and victim are frozen clichĂŠs, both forever stripped of their dignity and humanity. “Hate is not a Laramie value.â€? I grew up in a rural community not dissimilar to Laramie, surrounded by well-meaning folks who believed in the Bible and aimed to do what was right in this life. Hate was not a value there, either. But my gay cousin didn’t dare come out until he’d left the ranch and lived on the other side of the country. Even then, when he finally confessed his sexual orientation to his family, several of his passionately Christian siblings let him know he would never be forgiven. “As the parade came down the street ... the number of people marching for Matthew Shepard had grown, like, five times.â€? Lots of wonderful people march in the “live and let live paradeâ€? but when the floats are put away and the Bibles come out, what are they teaching their children? How many queer jokes are told? Hating the sin isn’t just
a hair’s breadth from hating the sinner; calling it a sin is a passively hateful act. One person said he thought the motivation wasn’t religion but machismo. So, exactly which lessons raised those macho boys? Homophobia descends insidiously through generations, unintentionally or otherwise. It’s the kind of hate that has a half-life. Each time a homophobic law or tenet is overturned, we imagine the communal landscape is safe for our gay cousins. Then a toxic event snaps our communities back to reality. “We are like this. We ARE like this. We are LIKE this.� Are we really? Still? Kudos to these courageous teens at VHS who could have chosen to do another comedy but chose instead to confront ugly truths. Honor them by seeing this play. — Rebecca Wittman is a freelance writer living on Vashon.
“The Laramie Project’ will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Vashon High School. The matinee will benefit Vashon Youth & Family Services’ programs serving lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young people and will include a panel discussion with cast members, VYFS staffers and the community. Tickets, available at the door or at VHS, are $5, with an additional donation requested for VYFS at the matinee.
An all-women ensemble of chamber music stars plays an Island concert
Cristina Valdes
After October’s sold-out opener for Vashon Allied Arts Chamber Music Series, it’s time for the second concert in the series, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Blue Heron. This concert will feature an all-women ensemble of players invited by acclaimed Island cellist and series’ co-artistic director Rowena Hammill to share the stage. The quartet will play a repertoire that includes a violin/viola duo by Martinu, Mozart’s divine Divertimento for string trio and Schumann’s E flat piano quartet. Guest musicians include violinist Victoria Parker, pianist Cristina Valdes and violist Heather Bentley. Parker performs with Seattle Symphony and Seattle Opera, and can also be heard
playing on many albums and film soundtracks. Her love for collaboration and interest in interdisciplinary arts helped launch Gossamer, Parker Duo and Helix Series. She holds degrees from Western Michigan University and Manhattan School of Music. Valdes is known for presenting innovative concerts with a widely varied repertoire. She has performed in Lincoln Center, Carnegie Recital Hall, Nordstrom Hall and the Kennedy Center as well as with the Seattle Chamber Players, Mabou Mines Theater Company, Parsons Dance Company and others. Festival appearances include the Singapore Arts Festival and Brisbane Arts Festival. She currently teaches piano at Cornish College of the
Arts. Bentley, a member of Odeonquartet who is on the faculty of Seattle’s Northwest School, has been a fellow and principal violist at Tanglewood Festival and associate principal of New York String Orchestra. She has also performed solo with Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra, Northwest Sinfoniettaa and San Francisco Conservatory Orchestra. Regional performances include the Seattle Chamber Players and Olympic Music Festival. Tickets to the concert, $18 and $21, are on sale at Blue Heron, Heron’s Nest, Vashon Bookshop and www.brownpaper tickets.com. Both concert evenings will offer the same repertoire and players.

*TMBOEFS IPOPSFE BU UIF 8IJUF )PVTF GPS IJT UIFBUFS QSPHSBN Islander Darren Lay recently traveled to Washington, D.C. to accept a prestigious honor — his West Seattle-based project, the Young Shakespeare Workshop, was one of 12 recipients of the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award, the nation’s highest honor for afterschool and summer arts and humanities programs. Lay, who has helmed the Young Shakespeare Workshop for the past 15 years, was joined by project alumna Danisha Harris as he accepted the award from First Lady Michelle Obama in an East Room ceremony. Chosen from a pool of more than 471 nominees and 50 finalists nationwide, the awardees were recognized for using engagement in the arts and humanities to generate a wide range of outcomes, including increases in academic achievement, graduation rates and college enrollment, as well as improvements in literacy and
language abilities, communication and performance skills and cultural awareness. Each of the awards came with a $10,000 grant. In the case of the Young Shakespeare Workshop, the money is a significant financial boost — the organization’s annual operating budget is less than $30,000. The group currently operates after-school and in-school programs at Cleveland and Chief Sealth high schools and is looking for a new home for its summer programs. Each year, the summer program, which is open and free for Island kids to join, brings a free Shakespeare production to Vashon. Lay said he was excited to have received the award and that he hopes it leads to more awareness of the Young Shakespeare Workshop. “The organization has really flown under the radar for 20 years,� said Lay. “We’re in real need of a home for the program and some big support.�

Shane Jewell, who leads the Free Range Folk Choir, said that as he has watched the group grow in recent years, he has also been struck by how singing folk music as a choir can affect lives, especially in today’s world. Singing with the group, he said, has helped various members of the choir handle the deaths of loved ones, the loss of work and home and recovery from medical emergencies. “I’ve been awed at what a powerful force for

%FOUBM WBO WJTJUT 7BTIPO TFSWFT TDIPPMDIJMESFO Eleven children at Chautauqua Elementary School and McMurray Middle School received free dental care last week, thanks to a grass-roots effort to bring a dental van operated by Medical Teams International to Vashon. The van — a cramped but fully equipped dental clinic on wheels — was situated in the parking lot between the two schools for half a day on Thursday. There, Vashon hygienist Jenny Wegley and retired dentist Cliff Eckman saw a stream of pint-sized patients, as well as a few adults in need of dentistry. “I think it’s great,� Eckman said. “This is an important time to reach kids.� Asked if there’s a need for free dental care on Vashon, Eckman answered, “There’s a need for such services everywhere.� The effort to bring the mobile clinic to Vashon was spearheaded by Island activist Hilary Emmer, who worked with a handful of others to raise the funds to cover the van’s costs. Medical Teams International, a nonprofit,
charges $900 per visit — funds that were raised when Emmer and others held a recycling event on Vashon earlier this year. Islanders who brought items to the free recycling event were asked to give donations that would go toward the dental van. Meanwhile, Friendly Earth, the company that hauled the items off-Island, sold some of them for other uses or for scrap metal. All told, Emmer said, the recycling event brought in $4,200. Other donations as well as a grant from Granny’s Attic have created a pool of nearly $8,000 for free dental care on Vashon. Those funds, which are being held by the Interfaith Council to Prevent Homelessness, will cover the costs of five more trips by the dental van to serve children, Emmer said. With the money left over, she added, Islanders with dental needs that can’t be met by the van or other Island providers will be given funds to get served by dentists or oral surgeons off-Island.

Dr. Angela London, a Vashon naturopath, will become part of the Vashon Plaza Medical Clinic, joining Dr. Gail Fulton and two nurse practitioners at the Island’s longest running medical center. Fulton, a family practice physician who lives on Vashon and works at the Puyallup Tribal Health Authority, is taking over the clinic from Dr. Charles Weispfenning upon his retirement on Nov. 30. The clinic will close after Weispfenning’s last day, reopening on Dec. 12 under Fulton’s ownership. London, meanwhile, announced that she’s closing her doors at the London Health Center, which she opened nearly four years ago, to become part of Fulton’s practice. In a news release, she said she believes the move will enable her to serve her patients more effectively through collaborative care and lower overhead costs. The two doctors will join nurse practitioners Katie Konrad and Elizabeth

A cedar sapling is part of the restoration effort at Singer Farm.
— still owned by George Singer — have been fenced to keep cattle out of sensitive areas. “We’ve really made a commitment to this entire watershed,� Dean said. “And this is the right place to do it. Not just because of chum and coho, but also because of a host of other species.� The willow flycatcher, an imperiled songbird, for instance, needs large swaths of stream-side habitat to thrive. Judd Creek flows into Quartermaster, where grebes, scoters and terns are in a steep decline, in part,
some believe, because of the bay’s poor water quality. “Judd Creek is small and may seem inconsequential,� Dean added. “But it ties into the rest of central Puget Sound.� The restoration at Singer Farm in Paradise Valley is just one piece of a farreaching and ambitious effort by the land trust. All told, Dean said, the land trust has invested around $500,000 and worked with the county to purchase 80 acres of various sizes and shapes along the main branch of Judd Creek over the last six years. The organization’s latest purchase, slated to close next month, is small — a 2.5 acre parcel. But like other acquisitions along the

creek, it holds some significance to the land trust: The parcel harbors a history of illegal uses, including a pump that was taking water out of the creek without a water right, an un-permitted septic system that was putting nitrogen into the stream and a barn-like structure that had become a year-round home. “Judd Creek is really a puzzle,� Dean said. “We’re putting the pieces together.� The west fork of Judd Creek — the only fork that flows year-round — originates in Island Center Forest, wending its way south through Paradise Valley where the east and west forks converge. Soggy wetlands and dozens of

springs, including 14 seeps at Singer Farm alone, feed it before it empties into Quartermaster Harbor. The creek and its watershed are important not only for their size. Judd Creek hosts Vashon’s largest concentration of coho and chum salmon, as well as cutthroat trout and the native Western pearlshell mussel. What’s more, Dean said, the soils in the watershed provide the highest level of recharge to Vashon’s aquifer, the source of the Island’s drinking water. Last week, as the three land trust staffers made their way across various parcels now owned by the organization, they noted some of the transformations currently under way. The former Doretha Park — a five-acre parcel between the Singer Farm and the Sportsmen’s Club that for a while was the site of a clandestine marijuana operation — is now dotted with up to 1,000 small cedars, firs and shrubs, part of an ambitious reforestation project by the land trust. Another parcel, this one off of 111th Avenue S.W., also shows the land trust’s handiwork. A jungle of Himalayan blackberry vines has been removed, and the bare ground is now sprouting a sea of spindly willows, dogwood, vine maples, Douglas firs and cedars. Dean looked at an adjacent property not owned by the land trust — impenetrable because of the blackberries. “That’s what this used to look like,� he said. The restoration projects along Judd Creek reflect not only the organization’s commitment to the watershed, but also its maturation as an organization, Dean said. The land trust undertook its first restoration project in 2000, when it saw restoration as “reforesting a former meadow,� Dean said. Now, at the Singer Farm as well as elsewhere, “we’re creating habitat assemblages,� Eckhardt said — a suite of habitats, from forest to riparian to emergent wetlands, that more fully replicates natural systems. With diversity of habitat, Eckhardt noted, comes a diversity of species. “We’ve gotten much more sophisticated,� Dean added. But replicating nature takes time, and as Eckhardt made his way along Judd Creek, pointing out habitat features of note, he added that this work will have to continue long after he’s gone. “These aren’t 10-year projects,� he said. “They’re 100-year projects.�

Rowers finish the fall season with a winning weekend By MARIANNE METZ LIPE For The Beachcomber
The Vashon Island Rowing Club wrapped up its fall season at two Seattle regattas Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 5 and 6. The Frostbite Regatta, a 1km sprint race hosted by the Green Lake Crew and normally indicative of the weather conditions for the event, drew 22 teams, mostly from the Seattle metropolitan area, and some from as far as Bellingham, Spokane and Oregon. Mother Nature provided a crisp, cool, sunny day with little wind, making for smooth water. Vashon entered eight events and placed first in four of them and second and third in two other races.

FOOD CONTINUED FROM 1
the farm-to-school effort is going slowly on Vashon in part because “the typical small grower can’t possibly meet government regulations required for school food programs.� Others, however, say there aren’t any government regulations for fruits and vegetables sold to schools — only those that district administrators decide to put into place. “Fruit and vegetable growers are not required to have any licensing or certification for their food,� said Tricia Kovacs, an outreach and education specialist in food safety for the Washington State Department of Agriculture and the former director of the state’s farm-to-school program. “All of the food certification at this stage is voluntary and buyer-driven.� What’s more, some farmers say, Vashon’s requirement is not the norm among districts in the state. “Nobody I know of except Vashon is requiring third-party certification,� said Merrilee Runyan, president of the Vashon Island Growers Association. “It’s completely up to the school district. There’s nobody that says you have to do this.� Rita Ordonez, who coordinates the Fresh Food in Schools program for the Washington Sustainable Food and Farming Network in Mount Vernon, which has a grant to set up 20 farm-to-school programs in the state, concurred. “Food safety is definitely a topic of interest for school districts. But there’s no regulation that the state has or that the school
districts have to have in place,â€? she said. Some Vashon farmers are frustrated with the district’s requirement, noting that it’s coming from French, a food professional known for his zealous and sometimes hardcharging style. “I think he just doesn’t want to deal with us. He’s putting up roadblocks,â€? said Leda Langley, a Vashon farmer who routinely sells produce to Thriftway even though her farm doesn’t have a food safety plan or third-party certification. The district’s barriers, she added, are significant. “You have to have a ridiculous amount of cooler space. It’s not possible,â€? she said. “From what I understand, there are schools all over the state doing neat stuff. ‌ On Vashon, it’s gone nowhere.â€? Mark Musick, an agricultural expert who helped to organize a daylong food safety meeting between French and a dozen or so Vashon farmers last spring, also expressed frustration with the process. “To say it’s the government’s requirement is obfuscation,â€? Musick said. The process with French, he added, “has been confusing. The ground rules keep changing.â€? French, in an email, defended the district’s decision to require third-party certification, noting that he made it clear in meetings with farmers from the start that food safety was a top priority for the district. As a parent and food professional, he added, “I would expect no less.â€? French runs the Experience Food Project, a nonprofit organization based in Langley that is attempting to change the nature of school lunch programs. “It should also be noted that schools we work with purchase thousands of pounds of local and regionally grown produce from suppliers who meet our standards,â€? he said in the email.

French included links in his email to news articles about food safety; he did not, however, say what laws he was referring to in the article that ran in “Soundings,â€? adding, only, “A good starting point would be to review King County Health Department’s basic requirements.â€? Soltman, who serves on the board of French’s nonprofit, said he supports the requirement that Vashon farmers get a third party to certify the safety of their food. Noting the recent listeria outbreak that killed 29 people who consumed tainted cantaloupes, Soltman said such safety requirements are important, even if they seem extreme to some farmers. The district’s insurance risk pool, he added, is beginning to identify food safety as an important issue for districts to address. “We want some assurance that we won’t have cross-contamination and end up with kids getting really sick. ‌ There’s just a higher risk when you work with local farmers and local produce,â€? Soltman said. Soltman also defended French’s role, noting how quickly he overhauled Vashon’s money-losing school lunch program, transforming it into one that’s far healthier and poised to break even this year. French’s oneyear contract with the district, for which he was paid $34,000, ended in June. “I think a change agent like Tom ‌ rubs up against people,â€? Soltman said. “He pushes hard. He’s ruffled some feathers over time. But I look at the evidence and change that has occurred here; we’ve done something in a few weeks that could have taken months or even years.â€? Other farmers, meanwhile, say there’s value in the process French and the Vashon school district are making farmers undertake. While third-party certification is not
a requirement at this point, such regulations are likely “coming down the pike,â€? said Celina Yarkin, who runs Sun Island Farm with her husband Joe. Yarkin, like other farmers on Vashon, is frustrated that the process has been slow. But it’s not completely the district’s fault, she noted. “Part of it is the season,â€? she said. “Our growing season is exactly opposite of the school’s seasons. When we’re really cranking out produce, the schools are closed.â€? There’s also the issue of price — according to Yarkin, “that’s the hardest one.â€? Farmers on Vashon mostly sell their produce at retail prices, at both the Vashon Farmers Market and their farm stands. But the district needs to purchase food at wholesale prices, a high hurdle for Vashon’s small, family-run farms to overcome. Still, the Yarkins, who have three young children, say they’re optimistic farmers will eventually get their produce into the school district’s cafeterias. And like others involved with VIPCO, the new farmers’ cooperative, they’re encouraged by the way farmers on Vashon are beginning to collaborate. “I’m starting to work with other farmers in a way I never ever have here. And I love that,â€? Celina Yarkin said. “The whole mood at VIGA (the Vashon Island Growers Association) has just radically shifted,â€? she added. “We’re having a lot more conversations.â€? Greg Reed, who works for Island Meadow Farm, another member of VIPCO, said he applauds the school district for making the effort to bring local produce to the table. “It’s a cumbersome process, for sure,â€? Reed said. “But my opinion — food safety is of the utmost importance. ‌ I think it’s great that the school is even trying.â€?

New effort gets under way to help Vashon’s seniors ‘age in place’ Neighbor to Neighbor is modeled after a nationwide movement By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
With the goal of helping Islanders stay in their homes as they age, a group of Vashon women has formed a nonprofit organization and launched a survey to assess what kind of services people might need to meet that goal. The organization, called Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N), first came together one year ago, when Island caregivers felt that some Island seniors had unmet needs and were falling through the cracks, according to Emma Amiad, one of the board members of the group. Now, after considerable work, the group is planning to coordinate a variety of people to meet those needs, including caregivers and volunteers who will help with a range of personal and household tasks. They expect also to have a list of approved vendors who offer their professional skills in ways that people routinely need, such as visiting nurses, plumbers, counselors and electricians.

races for spots of the fire board have been more hard-fought — including the most recent one. “There’s still a lot of emotion and passion around the transition to the more modern fire department,� he said. Turner, who didn’t campaign this year but was pleased to be reelected, said he was glad that this election didn’t get contentious as they have in years past. “If this one had started off that way, I probably would have said I don’t want to go through that again,� he said. Turner, who holds Position 1 on the board, beat challenger Deborah Brown with about 56 percent of the vote, according to Monday’s ballot tally. Brown had about 43 percent. Ulatoski speculated that perhaps the vote for Position 4 is so close because he and McCullough share the same stance on many issues.
But before N2N members move forward, they want to hear from the community. “The survey results will allow us to fine tune our mission and get very specific and clear about needs tailored to this community,â€? said Marcia Swain, the president of the board. The survey, which takes just a few minutes to fill out, is online as well as in businesses around the Island. Its questions include what people’s greatest concerns are about staying in their homes as they age, what services they would be most interested in receiving and if people would volunteer to provide household chores, gardening and similar services. “We are asking what can we do as a community to help people stay in their homes,â€? Amiad said. In a lot of cases, it’s very minor‌. Sometimes it might be just mowing the lawn.â€? N2N services might also offer peace of mind to children of older parents, Amiad noted, giving them somebody to call if they perceive help is needed. One possibility, Swain said, is that the group will offer a daily check-in phone call, just to make sure a senior is doing OK. Another need they’re almost certain they will need to fill is transportation, a clear issue on rural Vashon. Amiad credits caregiver Angie Meier “There are differences in our approaches, ‌ but we basically agree on most of the main concerns as expressed by the Island,â€? he said. McCullough noted that if Ulatoski does win, it may be because he started campaigning much earlier than she did, and right before the Nov. 8 election she was tied up providing hospice care for a friend. “I wasn’t out there pressing the flesh,â€? she said. On Friday McCullough said she planned to go dancing over the weekend, to relax and take her mind off the election. “The vote is the vote,â€? she said. “I’m trying to play it day by day.â€? King County sent nearly 8,000 ballots to Vashon voters, and as of Monday 3,780 had been counted, a 48.26 percent return so far. It is unknown how many ballots from Vashon voters are left to be counted, but county officials expect a 52 percent overall return from voters. In King County, close elections can sometimes trigger automatic recounts. According to county elections policy, if final results show candidates half a percentage point or less apart, a recount is done.
Vashon Liquor owners unsure if they’ll close shop The owners of Vashon Liquor are trying to determine what the passage of Initiative 1183, which privatized liquor sales in Washington, means for their small store. As a contract liquor store — not a stateowned one —it’s possible their doors could stay open, said Karen Lindskog, who owns the shop with Cherry Morgan. The two of them are now wading through the details of the initiative and working with the state to figure out how much it would cost for them to purchase the store’s inventory — which has a $300,000 retail value — and how the state plans to phase out of the liquor business by June. They’re also unsure what kind of prices they could get from a liquor distributor.
“There’s so much to understand,� Lindskog said, “I don’t have a good understanding of the details.� What they decide to do will also greatly depend on whether Thriftway or Vashon Market opt to begin selling liquor. Lindskog thinks it would be tough for the shop to compete with the grocery stores. “I’d be lying to say that’s not a huge consideration,� she said. However, Linsdkog added that if a liquor store could keep its door open anywhere, it would be on Vashon, where she said she has seen a tremendous amount of community support. “We are bound and determined,� she said. “If we can figure out a way to make it work, we’re going to do it.�
with calling this group together after seeing seniors face problems that she knew could be tended to by volunteers. In researching how to meet their needs, she learned about Village to Village, a growing nationwide movement that helps people “age in place.� There are more than 50 “villages� in the United States, and one in Australia. Vashon’s group is modeled on Village to Village and has borrowed from their expertise, Amiad said, including creating its bylaws and constitution as well as this survey. While most Village to Village networks charge membership fees, Amiad said, Vashon’s group is still studying the best financial framework. “We are trying to sort out the financial picture so we will be sustainable over 50 years or more, not five months,� she said. The demographics of Vashon mean that the need for N2N’s services could be large,
as 20 percent of the population here is over 55, according to Swain. And, as much as most seniors want to stay in their homes, Village to Village surveys in other communities and a small survey N2N did early on point to the same issue. “Most people do not think they’re going to need help, and mostly they do,� Amiad said. “We want to be up and running when they need us.� N2N would like Islanders across the age spectrum to fill out the survey. Do it online at www.surveymonkey.com/s/ JMKPCDY, or pick up a survey and drop it off at the following locations: Vashon Pharmacy, Vashon Senior Center, Vashon Community Care, Amiad & Associates, the Harbor Mercantile and Minglement. The deadline is Nov. 30.
Larry L. Stevens Vashon native Larry L. Stevens (81) passed away at his West Seattle home November 12, 2011. Born January 25, 1930, Mr. Stevens founded the innovative Seattle-based real estate finance firm, Wall Street Brokers in 1971. He had fought courageously against Alzheimer’s disease for a few years before recently being diagnosed with bladder cancer. Mr. Stevens is survived by a sister, Goldie Stevens Haldeman, and nephew, Mark Haldeman (both Seattle); and six children, four grandchildren, and one great-grandchild: Children: Lorelei Stevens Scharig (Seattle and Vashon); Gary L. Stevens, (Dana Point CA); Susan Stevens Gallaher (Seattle); Sally Marie Stevens (Seattle); Rory Lawrence Stevens (Seattle); and Maria Mae Stevens (San Francisco CA). Grandchildren: Kyle Stevens (Seattle) and Deirdre Stevens Stearns (Los Angeles CA); Jesse L. Gallaher and Noel Rose Aguilar (Seattle). Great-grandchild: Alonzo Aguilar (Seattle). Larry Stevens lived on Vashon until he was three, when he began shuttling winters in Seattle to summers on Vashon, a pattern that lasted into his teens. He was an active youth, first a paperboy in Seattle, then a logger on the Olympic Peninsula, and later, delivering magazines in Alaska. In the early 1950s, Larry entered military service, joining the Marines. He was stationed in Nevada and became one of those thousands of men exposed to radiation in U.S. nuclear bomb tests, earning him the status of an “Atomic Vet.� Larry Stevens was proud all his life of being a Marine – at the peak of his firm’s success, whenever another Marine vet came to do business, Larry would drag him into his private office and swap stories. You could tell when a good one came up because Larry always laughingly slapped the top of his desk so hard it shook the floor. Marine hygiene stuck with him: he brushed his teeth and washed his hands many times a day. Years later, when he fought the grip of Alzheimer’s, he could always call out his service number flawlessly. After the military, Larry went into business with his stepfather, Earle Stevens, where he learned a great deal about real estate loans. He continued his hard work on his own in real estate financing and development until 1971 when he had gained enough expertise to incorporate Wall Street Brokers and did well purchasing real estate notes and contracts. Wall Street Brokers, Inc. grew into a successful Seattle real estate note purchasing firm, which is still going strong. That endurance is partly the result of Larry’s training his children. As time went on, his oldest daughter, Lorelei, was able to take over the business seamlessly when Alzheimer’s began to disable him. He had never wanted to retire, and in a way he didn’t because his children are keeping the business going. Larry Stevens always liked a vigorous life. His major sport was jogging and he ran marathons well into his 60’s. On his 77th birthday, he even took chain saw carving lessons. Larry Stevens was an interesting, fascinating man whose sense of humor brightened the lives of those around him. He has left us with many good memories and a legacy of achievement for those who knew him and loved him. Funeral services will be held at Island Funeral Home on Sunday, November 20, 2011. Services begin at 11:00 am. A catered lunch will be served at Sound Foods at 12:30 pm, followed by a graveside service at 2:30 pm where the military will play taps.

Merly has been with his person
since he was a kitten. Merly’s person is moving in with his sister who has dogs that are not fond of cats. Sadly, Merly needs to find new digs. Merly has been well taken care of and even though he is 11 years old, he looks much younger. Merly likes to sit on a lap and watch TV. He is a bed kitty who likes to soak up the warmth and comfort of his human. He shows his contentment with life by purring and “making biscuits.� If you are looking for a lap cat with lots of love to share, this handsome boy is the one for you. date of entry to VIPP 10/22/11
Molly is a gorgeous red head born
6/2011. She is a petite girl for her age so she will likely be a small cat. Molly is shy initially but it does not take long before she is out wanting to play and be petted and held. She has become great buddies with her room mate Wesley who is also available for adoption. Molly would do best in a home with older children. Date of entry 10/21/11
