Schools once again seek to fill budget gap Foundation is nearing the final push in its $500,000 campaign By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
With just weeks left in its annual fundraising campaign, the Vashon Schools Foundation hopes to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars more to sustain district programs. The group kicked off its campaign March 1 and so far has garnered $133,000 in pledged support, including $55,000 from island businesses. Fundraising will continue in the coming weeks to help the foundation reach its $500,000 target, according to Donna Nespor, the nonprofit’s administra-
tive coordinator, who said she is confident the community will step up and provide the support, as it has in past years. “I feel the momentum is picking up, and we will be able to reach the goal,” she said. When the district’s financial picture was at its most dire a few years ago, Superintendent Michael Soltman announced staff layoffs and program cuts that would take place if sufficient funds were not raised by the newly formed foundation. Now, however, while funding from the state is still insufficient, the foundation’s message is not one of a fiscal emergency, but one of maintaining the district’s staffing levels and programs. “We are trying to run a more positive campaign based on a common community commitment to sustaining the education we value here,” Soltman said. With this trust in community dona-
tions, next year’s budget is being rolled out accordingly. But Soltman noted he is concerned that people may not fully understand the importance of continuing to support the schools, even when the district isn’t declaring an emergency. “It’s absolutely essential,” he said. In fact, he said, were it not for belief in the foundation’s success, he would be proposing cuts now in staffing, the arts and advanced placement classes at the high school. If the money is not raised this spring, Soltman said, he will look to cutting supplies, materials and custodial services and then to dipping into the reserve fund, which may require deeper cuts next year.

Basically, he uses temperature and precipitation data from fixed weather stations to calculate a glacier’s “mass balance”
Many want a part in islander’s green business A couple years ago, Bothell resident A Adrienne Anderson felt lost. In her mid40s, 4 she was growing weary of her stressfu job as a social worker, but unsure what ful else el she could do. These days, she spends much of her time outside tending a small m herd of goats as they energetically munch h on o underbrush. Anderson is one of a small but growing in number of people across the country and an around the world to follow in the footsteps of islander Tammy Dunakin, fo using goats to clear land more easily, more u cheaply and in a more environmentally ch friendly way than equipment can.

Wendell Tangborn thinks he has invented a better mousetrap. He’s still waiting for the scientific world to beat a path to his door. Sitting in a cramped home office on Vashon, overlooking the (rising) waters of Puget Sound, Tangborn talks about his plan to monitor 200 glaciers around the world to see whether or not — and, if so, how quickly — they’re melting away. He has already done detailed reports on seven, including Juneau’s incredible shrinking Mendenhall Glacier. He’s working on 40 more, and hoping one or more foundations will supply enough money to hire the three people he’d need to keep track of all 200. People often cite the waxing or waning of glaciers to prove that the Earth is or is not getting warmer. But according to

Kirkland agrees to levy that will maintain county’s emergency services An impasse over the details of a regionwide Emergency Medical Services levy has ended, settling worries that the levy, which provides half of Vashon Island Fire & Rescue’s budget each year, wouldn’t go forward. King County’s six-year EMS levy, which funds Vashon’s Medic One service, is up for renewal and slated to come before county voters later this year. However, in drafting the new levy, officials in Kirkland, one of nine cities in the county that had to agree to the levy before it could go on the ballot, voiced concerns about their stake in the EMS system. Earlier this year, the city and local firefighter unions withheld their support of the levy, saying, among other concerns, that Kirkland wanted the option to have its own Medic One unit. It currently relies on King County and Redmond paramedic units for its emergency services. After long negotiations, King County’s Regional Policy Committee removed the restriction and stipulated in the levy that there would be an evaluation of whether Kirkland could become a Medic One provider. On Tuesday, April 16, the Kirkland City Council unanimously voted in favor of the levy. Rex Stratton, a Vashon fire commissioner
who has also spent months participating in the county’s EMS advisory task force and has paid close attention to Kirkland’s position, said he was relieved to see officials there agree to the plan. “They ultimately got some language they liked, got some negotiating room, and that was enough,� he said. If Kirkland hadn’t approved the levy, he said, it wouldn’t have gone on the ballot and VIFR would have been left with a huge hole in its budget. Without the EMS funding, the department would likely seek to enact a new local levy to sustain emergency services on the island, and even that may not provide enough to sustain current response levels for fires, medical emergencies and transports to off-island hospitals. “If the King County EMS fails, Vashon is in a world of hurt,� Stratton said. Now that the levy is definitely on the ballot, the county can now focus on seeing that voters approve it, Stratton said. There’s been wide support for the levy in the past, he noted. Six years ago, it passed with about 80 percent approval. But the county will still work to promote it — a dozen years ago little effort was made and the measure, which requires a super-majority of 60 percent, failed. “I think everyone said ‘Oh, yes, it will pass.’ Nobody put energy into it. I know that will not be the case this time.� — Natalie Johnson

Former islander runs for Seattle mayor, pledging authenticity and trust By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
In Seattle, the race for mayor is in full swing, and among the contenders is a former islander who served on Vashon’s school board and created an education award that is still bestowed each year on the island. Charlie Staadecker, who moved from Vashon in 2004 but still has strong ties to the island, declared his candidacy last September before most of the other seven candidates vying for the position. Since that time, he has gone on a fourmonth “listening tour� in Seattle, fine-tuned his platform and raised a considerable amount of money. Staadecker, who owns a real estate company in downtown Seattle, explained his motivation for running for office and leading the city where he grew up. “I think Seattle and our region are on a spring board for great success, and yet what I saw at city hall was leadership that was polarizing, divisive and combative. This is the exact opposite of the direction that will be needed to ensure our success in the future,� he said. Staadecker, who now lives in downtown Seattle near his office, has served as the principal of his company for 35 years, he said, and has brought many businesses to Seattle. In the future, he believes small businesses will be essential to the city, especially in the fields of technology, biotechnology and software. Job creation is of utmost importance, he said, calling the availability of well-paying jobs the greatest social justice that can be provided. Not a career politician by any stretch, Staadecker said his professional background suits him well for the challenges of mayor. “My career has been built on trust, authenticity and collaboration,� he said, “and that is what I would bring every day if elected.� His vision and platform are built on six key points, with

Charlie Staadecker declared his candidacy in September. job expansion and economic stability leading the list, followed by education, a city hall that serves the citizens, safety, infrastructure and the sense of Seattle as a place that rekindles the spirit of the great Northwest. His message, he said, is resonating. Staadecker lived on Vashon for 12 years with his wife Benita and children Tess and Ben. At Vashon High School, Principal Susan Hanson, who taught both of Staadecker’s children, voiced her support of his candidacy. “I think he would be a wonderful mayor. I would vote for him if I could,� she said. Staadecker served on the school board when she was hired as the principal and was a strong advocate for students, Hanson recalled. His tenure on the board was at a

time of some significant challenges, including a schedule transition and substantial mold problems at the high school. Always, Hanson said, Staadecker wanted to know how proposed changes would benefit students and would only change his mind once he was convinced something was truly in their best interest. “He would ask very, very penetrating, thoughtful questions,� she said. Staadecker’s board tenure spanned from 1995 to 2003, and in 1996 the board earned the distinction of being the Washington State School Board of the Year. He also served as the state legislative chair for Washington’s 295 school districts. In 1998 as a member the school board, Staadecker created the Doors of Opportunity Award, which honors a district teacher or staff member who goes beyond his or her job description to open doors and maximize students’ potential. Award winners earn $2,000 — $1,000 for personal use and $1,000 for their classroom. So far, 15 district employees have won the award, and nominations for this year’s recipient are due at the end of May. Staadecker said he returns to Vashon frequently because of “deep, enduring friendships� here. And he returns each year to hand out the award, a task he said he will continue should he become Seattle’s mayor. “I am blessed to have lived on Vashon,� he said.

Florist grows to offer classes and more By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Staff Writer
Blooms & Things, an island floral shop that occupies a prime piece of corner real estate in the Wallflower Building, is expanding its footprint and scope of operations. Shop owner Carol Ahlfors recently announced that she is taking over another retail space in the building, directly behind her current shop, which she will use for additional storage and design space, special events and as a classroom. The space most recently housed a small law office and before that, a window covering company called The Shady Lady. Ahlfors, who sells not only flowers but also artful decor and handcrafted home furnishings, has big plans for the space. “It’s a great expansion that I get to share with the community,� she said. Classes in floral design will take place there — upcoming offerings by Ahlfors in June and July will include how-to’s in assembling European hand-tied bouquets and summer-themed decorative wreaths and primers on different floral design techniques. Ahlfors is also eager to share the space with local artists who want to teach classes and workshops, and she’ll also collaborate with other islanders and businesses in the Wallflower Building to present special events there. One of her collaborators, she said, will host art-themed birthday parties for children there, and she'll also team up with two nearby shops, Dova Silks and The Heron’s Nest, to host customer appreciation events in the space. Kathy Pine, who manages The Heron’s Nest, the art consignment outlet of Vashon Allied Arts, said she is looking forward to working with Ahlfors. “We’re going to take advantage of the space with demonstrations and teaching classes for artists,� she said. Ahlfors also plans to use the space in

She’s excited, she said, to open it up to a local group, Comunidad Latino, which plans to use it during First Friday Gallery Cruises as the location for a by-donation banquet of Latin cuisine. The group plans to use money raised from the monthly banquets to fund various causes, including preschool education for Latino children on Vashon. Ahlfors will also use the walls of her new space for art exhibition, she said. Blooms & Things — the latest incarnation of a handful of flower shops that have occupied the same space in the Wallflower Building since the 1970s — has been owned by Ahlfors and her family for the past three years. Ahlfors has lived on the island for the past 14 years, since relocating from San Francisco. Though she has been a florist for 30 years, Blooms & Things is Ahlfor’s first retail venture, and she said she loves it. “We’re doing well,� she said. “What people say is that our shop has good energy and good customer service. People here are starting to see us as affordable.�

Donations sought for woman badly hurt in accident Islanders are asking for donations to help with the medical bills of an elderly woman badly injured in a single-car accident on the north end last month. Longtime islander Nancy Wallrof was driving on 103rd Avenue, often called “Ferry Hill Road,� on March 18 when she went into diabetic shock and lost control of her car. Her vehicle went off the road, collided with a parked car and slid down a nearby driveway. Wallrof, who was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center, suffered several injuries, including six broken ribs, a broken leg and a fractured back. She was recently released from Harborview and is now recovering at Linden Grove Health Care Center in Puyallup. Wallrof has lived on Vashon her whole life and has been an active volunteer, said George Eustice, a volunteer with the Vashon
Senior Center. In recent years, Eustice said, Wallrof has been active at the senior center. Her husband Paul, a retired college football coach, has also been active on Vashon, helping start and grow the island’s youth football program. Eustice said he and others at the senior center want to help the couple out with the significant medical bills they now face. “They have always been a great asset to the community and gave very generously of themselves to the community,� Eustice said. An account in Wallrof’s name has been set up at US Bank, and the senior center is also accepting donations. “They would do the same for someone else if it were reversed,� Eustice said. Donations for Nancy Wallrof can be made at any US Bank branch, or drop off a check at the senior center made out to “Donation Account for Nancy Wallrof.�
County tees up second round of community grants The county recently announced grant opportunities for nonprofits in its Community Service Areas (CSAs), including Vashon Island, to help residents in unincorporated parts of the county become more connected in their neighborhoods. A total of $60,000 is available through the King County Community Service Area Program for projects, with grants of less than $5,000 each. Proposed projects should promote the engagement of local residents in community activities, educate residents about important issues affecting them or enhance the community in some way. Last year, islanders sub-
mitted more applications than the other unincorporated areas and received six grants, also more than other areas. Alan Painter, the CSA program manager, said he hopes to see a strong showing from islanders again. “We encourage organizations to think about this pot to be leveraged for the good work they are already doing,� he said. The grants are to be considered a shared investment with the community, Painter noted, and require a minimum match of 25 percent of the total cost in volunteer time (tabulated at $20 per hour), cash or in-kind services. Applications are due Friday, May 31.

New ownership of the Vashon Health Bringing you the newspaper Center: What will it mean for islanders? EDITORIAL
is a passion and an honor My first night on Vashon, I thought I had fallen in love with the island. Sitting on the deck at La Playa that August evening, I sipped a margarita, listened to waves lap on the beach and watched ferries come and go, their lights romantically reflected on the waves. A seal poked its head out of the water in front of me as if to say, “See, this is why you moved here.� It’s easy to fall in love with such a postcard picture of Vashon. But NATALIE JOHNSON as I came to learn, La Playa’s deck is closed most of the year, ferries quickly turn from romantic to irritating and even during long walks on the beach, seals aren’t often seen poking their heads out of the water. The lure of an island — and the promise of using my college degree — may have brought me to Vashon and to The Beachcomber three years ago. However, it’s the people and stories that fill the pages of our small paper each week that have kept me here and that recently made stepping into the role of editor at The Beachcomber an easy decision. I’ve never lived in any other small community, so I may be naive in this, but I fully buy into the local belief that being surrounded by water makes Vashon a special place. Where else would one find such an eclectic mix of people — lawyers and farmers, engineers and activists, artists and entrepreneurs — who all choose to inhabit the same zip code? Confining these souls to a 35-square-mile, somewhat self-sufficient hunk of land usually makes for no trouble filling the newspaper. Reporting on this community in all its glory and all its quirkiness hasn’t been easy. I’ve wrestled with sensitive stories, struggled to ferret out the truth or strike an even tone and been criticized for my work. But I’ve also learned from islanders of every walk of life and felt honored to tell your stories on these pages. I’ve been surprised by the passions that so many seem to follow and inspired by those on Vashon who care deeply and give of themselves to make the island, even the world, a better place. At The Beachcomber, we understand the important role a newspaper can play in a small community. The paper has been and will continue to be a finger on the pulse of the island, a community watchdog, a place for information about where we live and a forum for islanders to have a voice. And as I move into a position of greater responsibility at the paper, I’ll strive to continue this paper’s tradition of questioning, investigating and attempting to present issues that matter to Vashon’s wide population both fairly and accurately. As the Beachcomber’s new editor, I also promise to keep an open door — to listen to your ideas, concerns and opinions, either about our unique island or The Beachcomber’s coverage of it. Shoot me an email, call me up or invite me out for coffee. Maybe when August comes, we could even get margaritas at La Playa. — Natalie Johnson, editor
It’s important to hear what officials have to say about care An important event will take place tomorrow evening at McMurray Middle School. It involves medical care on the island. I hope everyone will come to listen, learn and ask questions. Highline Medical Center, which manages the Vashon Health Center, has affiliated with the Franciscan Health System. Highline is a secular institution, and the Franciscan Health System is affiliated with the Catholic Church. Dianna Kielian, Franciscan’s senior vice president of mission, will be at the meeting to explain the advantages of the new affiliation and to respond to your questions, as will Highline Chief Executive Officer Mark Benedum. We are fortunate to have this opportunity to hear from them. What do I want to learn? The Vashon Health Center is by far the largest clinic on our island. And as a retired Vashon physician, I have a number of questions about what this new affiliation will mean for health care on Vashon. Will this new arrangement mean increased accessibility for health care offered at our island clinic? I see in this affiliation an opportunity to improve access to health care on Vashon. I expect that the Franciscans accept a wider range of insurance plans, making their facilities more open to islanders. The network also has a mission to care for people without insurance and of limited means, so more islanders may be able to receive health care on Vashon. I want to know if this is true. What capital improvement projects can we expect as a result of this merger? I have read that the
HEALTH MATTERS By KATHLEEN DAVIS, MD
Franciscans have already contracted to support an integrated electronic medical record system that is now required as a standard of medical care. The Vashon clinic also needs major building improvements, as well as other infrastructure upgrades. I hope the Franciscans are able to address these needs. Will there be changes in the delivery of health care at the clinic and Highline Medical Center? In providing care, the Franciscan Health System must adhere to a specific set of directives in its delivery of care — the “Ethical and Religious Directives for Health Care Services� written by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. It is no surprise that the directives forbid certain types of health care: contraception, abortion, some modern fertilization techniques and some options for terminally ill patients. Will the Vashon providers be allowed to discuss and prescribe contraceptives and the morningafter pill? Will they be able to continue to offer vasectomies and refer patients for tubal ligations? In instances of rape or incest, what options will doctors be allowed to offer? How will the hospital respond to same-gender or infertile couples — married or not — who want to conceive children? If a patient has filed a health care directive stating that no “extraordinary� life support systems be employed, will hospital staff honor this? If a patient suffers from a terminal disease and asks the doctor for help under Washington’s Death with Dignity Act, may the doctor help the patient through the procedure of getting a con-

firming opinion? (Two doctors must agree before the prescription may be written.) May the doctor help acquire the medications? Must a patient leave the grounds of a religiously affiliated care facility to take the medications? If any of these services are not available through the Highline/ Franciscan system, may a doctor tell a patient where to go to get the care? May a doctor in the system even mention the prohibited options? Will the hospital require all practitioners — both those who adhere to the religion as well those who may adhere to another faith — to follow the religious guidelines or directives? These decisions are not easy under the best of circumstances. It may be that Highline and the Franciscan Health System have made arrangements to refer patients to another facility if necessary. Or maybe not. We need to ask. Why do you need to come to tomorrow’s meeting even if you don’t use the Vashon Health Center? The clinic provides the majority of on-island health care, so this new Franciscan affiliation will affect health care services across the island. Access to health care, including full prevention, reproductive and end-of-life services helps make a healthy community. We need to know if and how health care services will change with this new affiliation. I hope you will join me tomorrow to learn the answers and ask your questions. — Kathleen Davis is a retired primary care internist who works in public health on Vashon and globally.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Island health care
Statements regarding care contradict one another A warning has to be raised concerning Highline CEO Benedum’s assurances that “patients will not notice a change; the Franciscan position is that issues such as birth control and abortion are concerns between a woman and her health care provider� (“Highline’s proposed merger won’t affect care,� Oct. 16, 2012). On April 11, I questioned Mr. Benedum about the evident conflict with the position of the Franciscan Health System (FHS), which is posted on its website: “Franciscan Health System is guided by the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERDs).� His reply presented the same conundrum: “The medical services available at our Vashon clinic will not change as a result of our affiliation with the Franciscan Health System� and goes on to say that “(as) part of the affiliation with the Franciscan Health System, Highline Medical Center has agreed to follow the ERDs.� The only way these two positions can agree is temporarily. The Vashon Health Center and Highline’s other 10 clinics in the area may see no change for awhile, but they will be brought into line with the ERDs within five to seven years, if not sooner. The agreement’s Articles and Bylaws spell out how this will happen; in a nutshell all power to control resides in
FHS, and Highline “acknowledges that it cannot engage in actions that conflict with the ERDs.� (Agreement sec. 13.5) We cannot rely on promises or assurances; they are shifting sands. The takeover agreement already in place gives FHS control; Highline is totally owned by FHS. Vast swaths of the population fall under the control of the Catholic bishops as the number of these mergers continues to grow. Women’s health, reproductive rights, birth control and Washington’s Death with Dignity Act are at risk. — Jill Janow
The Catholic Church brings conscience to health care Thank God the Catholic Church is heavily involved in health care — that way we know there is a conscience involved. I welcome the Franciscan Health System to the island, and I wish they would enforce their ethical and religious directives. The idea of separating religious doctrine from law and health care is bogus. Our great nation was founded on JudeoChristian principles, which were embodied in the founding documents and laws. We have already caved in to misguided mercy and for a generation allowed wholesale slaughter of children in the womb in the name of liberty and equality. Few wars or earlier episodes of genocide have beaten our record for the destruction of human life. It is pertinent to note that this is what we like to term “health care.�
Page 7
Obviously “health care� as such has no conscience. Without gatekeepers like the Catholic Church, it degenerates until it produces practitioners like Kermit Gosnell. — Charles B. Lovekin
Speaking up
Sometimes a lack of letters means more communication In a couple of recent issues, there have been few or no letters in the opinion section. Initially, I was perturbed. “Democracy is a letter to the editor,� I muttered, feigning concern for the exercise of First Amendment rights. And then it came to me: The uncomfortable insight that my disappointment was not so high-minded, that I was in fact disappointed in missing my latest fix of island kerfluffle. Then another thought came: What if a shortage of letters every so often is a sign that folks are taking their disagreements somewhere better? Perhaps it could be an indicator of neighbors crossing the street to talk with one another before their concerns become conflicts and those conflicts become grudges and those grudges then become letters in The Beachcomber. This would also be exercise of the First Amendment, but on a personal level. Democracy is all about rights. Healthy community is all about relationships — how we express, how we listen and how
hard we work to “love our neighbor as ourselves.� Often as not, healthy community is a letter not written to the editor. — Dan Houston
P.S. To all you good readers who’d like to have a laugh at my expense by pointing out the intrinsic irony of this letter: Sorry, my wife beat you to it.
Gun violence
Statistics tell their own story regarding gun control Recently, I overheard a debate on the island in which one person said that there is a gun problem in this country. I would like to offer some perspective on that debate, if the perception of a “gun problem� is based upon the number of deaths caused by guns. This comparison is from 2011 FBI data. So-called assault rifles (like the AR-15) are a subset of rifles. Rifles killed 323; blunt objects killed 496; hands, fists, feet, etc. killed 728, and knives killed 1,694. In 2010, the most current data available from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, car drivers killed 618 bicyclists and 4,280 pedestrians. With this data in mind, the debate may continue with some facts for reference. — Gregg Rocheford

Q:
To view this blog & make comments, visit www.vashonislandrealestate.com/blog.html
I have a savings account that is earning almost nothing. Even a money market or CD is less than 1% interest. I’m thinking I might buy a rental property but my friends all tell me they are too much trouble. People trash the house or don’t pay the rent and the place can be empty for months, etc. I’d like to know what you think about it.
A:
I can’t think of a better time to buy rental property. Our prices are going up but there are still good deals to be made. Let’s do some simple math. If you have $300,000 in various saving instruments you are not even keeping up with inflation. A decent home at that price will usually get you $1,500.00 to $1,800.00 per month in rent. The simple math works out to be $21,600 return per year which is better than 6% return. That’s even taking out the taxes, insurance and a reserve for repairs. It could even include management fees. Not a bad return and you have something “real� that can be rented, sold, lived in by you or family, etc. That’s instead of the volatile stock market or low interest savings. You do not have to experience trashing of your property or non paying renters if you screen tightly on the front end. A management company can do this and will interview potential renters and keep tabs on the property. We used to do property management and handled a few commercial properties and over 40 homes. We were very tough on the screening and never had a trashed property or non-payment problem. Choose something with the eye of a renter, not owner. Renters care about number of bedrooms and bathrooms, utility costs, location to town or ferry, closeness to the bus line and ease of maintenance. A good rental is seldom empty in our tight rental market. I’ve sold many rental properties on Vashon and the owners are all reaping the rewards of these investments. Interview management people and locate someone you trust and then sit back and enjoy the return.

High school boys compete for coveted title By YARDEN BLAUSAPP For The Beachcomber
Last year Vashon High School sophomore Ezra Ende received the coveted title of Mr. Vashon. He wowed the audience by “parting the red sea� (a joke incorporating a red blanket and audience members with “C� names) and wearing a patriotic spandex suit. This year hopeful contestants will again try their hand at charming the audience. The event will be put on by the Associated Student Body (ASB) from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 1, at the VHS theater. The community is invited to attend. What kinds of students have a chance at winning the competition? ASB advisor and teacher Kara Sears has an answer: “People that are funny and will get the crowd involved.� ASB co-president Cate Stackhouse also has an opinion: “People who are excited about it, will do a good job, not make it a joke and actually try.� Contestants will compete in a variety of categories that measure their knowledge, personality, charm and overall dashing good looks. The categories will include a trivia portion, personality questions, swimwear and formal wear contest and a talent of their choice. In previous years contestants have choreographed dances, piled on layers of clothes, rapped, memo-
rized “the evolution of dance� and eaten sandwiches onstage for this portion. Competitors are specially recruited for their personalities and promise of talent. “Ezra Ende should return to defend his title. I’m hoping to see Zach Drape in it, and maybe Owen Brenno will do it,� Stackhouse said. “I think we’re going to demand that Matt Swope enter the competition,� said Sears. Senior Luke Webster plans on entering the competition for the first time. “I think I bring to the stage a sexy body and a good outlook on life,� he said, “I might do juggling or flexing for my talent, something fun that the crowd will get into.� In 2011, Thai exchange student Sept Sawangrak took the title, wowing with his Katy Perry routine. This year will stick to many of the previously established traditions, but perhaps some with something more. “We’re trying really hard to put more planning into it, making it a bigger event,� said Sears of this year’s event. “We think we might have more than just Mr. Vashon on this night. We just want to make it an event that people really want to go to and one that we can start as a tradition that people will enjoy.�

Shauna Ahern, an islander who has achieved a wide readership for her blog and books about the gluten-free lifestyle, has released new cookbook. Ahern will sign copies of the book, “Gluten-Free Girl Every Day,â€? at 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 1, at the Vashon Bookshop. The book is is published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. The cookbook, aimed at busy people who still like to cook, is filled with 120 recipes — delectables including quinoa-stuffed peppers; edamame with sweet rice salad; shells stuffed with fresh ricotta, chives and arugula; moroccan lamb burgers; carnitas and chocolate chip cookies with hazelnuts. The ingredient pairings of the book’s recipes come from the collaboration of Ahern and her husband Danny Ahern, a professional chef. The book is is organized around different types of dinners, and each recipe includes a “Feel Like Playing?â€? sidebar with tips and suggestions to switch things up, as well as suggestions for foods that can be made ahead of time or frozen. In 2005, Ahern was diagnosed with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that is triggered by the consumption of gluten, or proteins found in many common grains. Her wildly popular blog (www.glutenfreegirl.com) draws almost one million page views a month and is considered a go-to spot to find out how to live gluten-free. Ahern is the author of “Gluten-Free Girl and the Chefâ€? — named one of the best cookbooks of 2010 by The New York Times — and the memoir, “Gluten-Free Girl.â€? “A good meal can change someone’s day,â€? she writes in the introduction to her new book. “Cooking is the most deeply creative act with the most practical application. ‌ In the end, cooking is about the eating.â€?

The ballet, scored by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev, tells the familiar and tragic story of a pair of star-crossed teenaged lovers, but the dance concert will also include lighter, more upbeat fare. In keeping with VAA’s past spring dance concerts, a full slate of high-energy, student-choreographed original dance works will complement the ballet. The Center for Dance is helmed by Christine Juarez, who has run VAA’s dance program for 16 years. Many of the principal dancers in “Romeo and Juliet� have studied with Juarez for years. Senior dancer Katherine Misel will star as the tempestuous, lovestruck Juliet, and Meg Sayre will bring the comical role of Juliet’s nursemaid to life. Quinn McTighe will play Romeo’s hot-tempered “Romeo and Juliet,� will be presented at 1 and 7 p.m. Saturday and 1 and 5 p.m. Sunday at the VHS theater. Tickets, $10 and $13, are on sale at www.vashonalliedarts.org, the Heron’s Nest and at the door.
rival Tybalt. A guest danseur from Cornish College of the Arts, Sam Opsel, will play Romeo. Adults will also join in the dance. Kirsten Eastman will play Lady Capulet, and Barbara Gustafson will provide the show’s continuous thread as the village flower peddler. A group of 8-year-old dancers will join Gustafson as flower and fruit sellers. “I wanted to stage a more narrative ballet,� said Juarez. “The romance of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is so exciting and colorful.� The story of the doomed duo is also full of fighting, of course, and Juarez’s dancers will be called upon to enact the war between the Capulet and Montague families. To that end, the company has been practicing for the ballet’s dueling scenes and receiving stage combat instruction from a guest teacher from Cornish College. And as usual, a battalion of stage artists and parent volunteers will be backstage, helping to bring the show to the stage. Kate Guinee has designed flowing costumes for the production, and set painter Laura Whitmore has made sure the scenery will reflect the setting in 15th-century Verona. “Our performance space is always challenging,� said Juarez. “We’ll fill the entire theater space with surprises for the audience.�

A new ensemble aims to fill a variety show void on Vashon By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Staff Writer
A merry band of local performers will bring homegrown humor, songs, clowning, video and true stories to the stage of Vashon Theatre on Sunday. It’s the debut offering of a comedy collective that calls itself Plan V. Everyone in the group has been involved in the past with The Church of Great Rain and other local shows. Jeanne Dougherty, a cast member, said the show was born in discussions that started last summer, after an announcement that the Church of Great Rain — a show that ran for four seasons on Vashon and at times drew upwards of 600 people to its performances — would go on hiatus. “Some of us really wanted to see if we could put something together that filled the same creative niche in our lives,� Dougherty said. “The community also really seemed to like the (variety show) format, so why not keep doing something like that?� However, Dougherty was

The cast of Plan V clowns around. careful to clarify that the new show, which the group is calling “Homegrown Mirth & Music,� is neither a continuation or clone of the Church of Great Rain. “It is its own beast,� she said. Plan V, for instance, plans to take advantage of its movie theater venue to offer comedic videos by Jim Ferrell and Michael Monteleone, two members of the new ensemble. And Sunday’s show will also
have a circus element, thanks to special guests Lux Gaxiola and Molly Shannon, who will bring their vaudeville-style clowning, dance and accordion act, Duo Finelli, to the stage. Other cast members and
musicians onstage will include Dougherty, Paul Shapiro, Jon Whalen, Harris Levinson, Bill Wood, Lyn McManus, Adrienne Selvy Mildon, Karen du Four des Champs, Casey and Lyn McManus, Richard Rogers, Arlette Moody, Simon Martin and Ainslie MacLeod. A few other former cast members of the Church of Great Rain will make video appearances, and the group also includes other island writers and behind-thescenes types. Veteran actor Paul Shapiro, a professional clown and founder of Vashon’s Shakespeare in the Park program, has stepped forward to direct the show. Dougherty said the show will be full of laughs, surprises and chances for the audience to get involved. “There will be a sing-along,� she said with a laugh.
“Homegrown Mirth & Music� starts at 4 p.m. Sunday at the Vashon Theatre. Tickets, $10, are on sale at the Vashon Bookshop, www.brownpapertickets.com and the box office. Some material in the show has adult themes. Nirvana is offering discounted meals and drinks to ticket-holders.

Luminous faces and more grace a studio tour this year Islander Pam Ingalls will participate in this year’s upcoming Vashon Island Art Studio Tour with a new show of portraits at The Hardware Store Restaurant. The show, “Facing Kenya,� is part of an Ingalls’ ongoing series of portraits, inspired by her travels around the world. She created her new show after spending time in a Maasai community in Kenya. A percentage of her sales will go to the Vashon-based Maasai Children’s Initiative, which provides funding for girls’ education in Maasailand. One of Ingall’s paintings will also be raffled off, with raffle ticket sales going to the foundation. Tickets, $10, can be purchased at Vashon Bookshop. This is Ingall’s seventh show in her “Facing� series. The annual show has become a staple in her repertoire, she said, because she relishes the experience of immersing herself in new cultures. During her week in Africa, Ingalls and Susan McCabe, another islander who accompanied Ingalls on the trip, got to
know teachers, students, parents and other involved community members at Mara Hills Academy, a boarding school for girls with 300 students. To find out more about the school and the work of the Maasai Children’s Initiative, visit www.maasaichildrensinitiative.org. The show is only one stop on the Spring Vashon Island Art Studio Tour, which will kick off a two-weekend run next week. Dozens of local artists will throw open the doors to their studios from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, May 4, 5, 11 and 12. Visitors will find garden art, colorful paintings, prints, pottery and glass. The studios of woodworkers, textile artists, jewelers and candle makers will also be well stocked with art to use and art to wear.

Soccer heats up mid-season By KAREN O’NEIL
One win, one loss for the week in baseball By RITA ALLMAN For The Beachcomber
For The Beachcomber
The Pirates’ return to the soccer pitch at home on April 15, after a week of spring break, resulted in a welcome victory against Cedar Park Christian. With a previous loss to this team, the boys were prepared for strong competition. But they had the upper hand immediately after the start, when junior Peter Amick put the ball through to forward Sean O’Neil, who beat the defense and scored at the two-minute mark. Clearly dominating play, the Pirates were able to keep the ball on the attack and scored again (O’Neil) in the 14th minute of play. A key advantage in the game that day was the strong defensive back of players Brooks Benner, Shane Beddard, Matt Swope and Tanner Montague, who collectively kept the ball moving, creating space and scoring opportunities. Vashon scored a third goal after the half so that a subsequent goal for Cedar Park was not a threat. The Pirates won with a final score of 3-2. Last Friday in a game against Cascade Christian at Bonney Lake, the Pirates dominated play, especially in the first half, with twice as many attempts at the goal as the opponent.

Senior defender Matt Swope goes for a header during last week’s game against Cedar Park Christian. Despite their attempts, they were unable to find the net. Both teams scoreless at the half, Vashon fared extremely well against the opponents, as they had expected stiffer competition from the team currently ranked second in the league. The score remained tied at 0 through regulation play, requiring two five-minute overtimes. In the second overtime, with just a minute left, the opposition had an unfortunate deflection off a player, resulting in the only goal. The final score was 0-1. After the loss, Vashon is now ranked fifth in the Nisqually
League. On a high note, the JV team fared well against Cascade Christian that day, wining 4-0. Demonstrating fine teamwork, goal scorers in the JV game were Will Zike, Dan Green, Luke Webster and Gerardo PereydaAntunes. The Pirates’ upcoming schedule includes a match today against Charles Wright, a home game Friday against Chimacum and a final home game on Wednesday, May 1. Home games begin at 6 p.m. and can be also be heard at www.voiceofvashon.org. —Karen O’Neil is a Pirate soccer volunteer and the mother of a senior player.
The Pirate baseball team returned to league play last week to take down Cedar Park Christian but then fell to a closely matched Seattle Christian team in its next game. On Monday, April 15, the Pirates played a home game against the Cedar Park Christian Eagles. The visitors jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning, but Vashon responded with two of their own in the second. The Pirates added single runs in the next three frames, while the Eagles scored a run in the top of the fourth. After five innings, Vashon was ahead. However, the Eagles were able to push two runs across in the sixth to tie the game at 5-5. Neither team scored in the seventh, so the game went into extra innings. The Eagles failed to score in the eighth. Zach Drape doubled to center to lead off the bottom of the inning. Drape stole third, and Ezra Lacina’s dramatic walk-off single scored the winning run. Kelly Sullivan started on the hill for the Pirates. He went more than five innings and allowed four earned runs. Sullivan scattered nine hits, surrendered one walk and struck out four batters. Josh Myer relieved in the sixth and recorded the final seven outs while allowing no runs and only three hits. The Vashon offense was led by Drape, who was 3 for 5 and scored the winning run. Line score: Vashon 6 runs, 9 hits, 3 errors. Cedar Park Christian, 5 runs, 12 hits, 3

errors. The Pirates took to the road last Wednesday, traveling to Seattle Christian to take on the Warriors. The home team opened the scoring with one run in the first, and Vashon countered with a run in the second. The Warriors regained the lead with a run in the fourth. The score remained 2-1, Seattle Christian ahead, until the seventh, when Drape singled to center scoring Sam Schoenberg, who had singled to open the inning. The score was now knotted at 2-2. However, the Pirates were unable to score the go-ahead run, and the Warriors were held scoreless in the bottom of the inning. So for the second game in a row, Vashon played extra innings. After threatening in the top of the eighth, the Pirates came up empty. Seattle Christian fared better and was able to nudge across the winning run for a 3-2 victory. Josh Myer pitched a complete game. He allowed eight hits (all singles) and gave up only two earned runs. He struck out seven batters and surrendered two walks. Offensively, the Pirates were led by Drape, Myer, Ben Reoux and Clyde Pruett, all of whom went 2 for 4 on the afternoon. Ezra Lacina, Kelly Sullivan, Ryan Bernheisel and Schoenberg all had singles. In fact, the two teams combined for 20 hits in the game, and they were all singles. Line score: Seattle Christian, 3 runs, 8 hits, 2 errors. Vashon 2 runs, 12 hits, 3 errors.

Pirates win left and right at track meet By KEVIN ROSS For The Beachcomber
After a two-week hiatus in their schedule, the Pirate track and field team returned to action last Thursday outfitted in their new gold uniforms at a meet hosted by Charles Wright Academy. Senior Landon Summers started off the cool, damp afternoon meet by setting a personal best in the boys 110-meeter high hurdles event. Summers ran away from the rest of the field right from the gun for a time of 16.23. “I want to build off this performance,� said Summers after his race. The senior also set a personal best in the 100-meter sprint in 11.83 and placed second. It turns out Summers was just getting warmed up, because he came back and won the 300meter hurdles in 44.39 and the 200-meter race in 24.40. Junior Garret Starr helped the Pirates score team points for the boys by placing first in the triple jump with a distance of 38 feet, 1.25 inches. In the long jump he placed second with a leap of 19 feet, 3.25 inches. Giacomo Paganoni, an exchange student from Italy, took first in the 400 meters with a time of 58.34, and Kanit Jungsalkulrujj from Thailand
took third in the 3,200 meters in 12:17. A good chunk of the team points for the girls came from freshman Annika Hille. Hille set a personal best and won the long jump event with a leap of 15 feet, 2.25 inches. Hille also won the 100-meter sprint in 13.4 and took first in the 200 meters in 28.11. She also placed second in the triple jump with a distance of 29 feet, 5.75 inches. Hille is currently one of the top 1A sprinters in the state. Junior Maddi Groen set a season’s best mark in the 3,200-meter race with a time of 13:18, placing her fifth. Vashon’s boys team, which earned 52 points, placed third overall of four schools at the meet, following Charles Wright, which had 69 points. Eatonville earned 117 points to win the meet. The girls team, with 36 points, placed fourth of five schools, closely following Annie Wright, which had 39 points. The Eatonville girls also won the day with 166 points. The next track meet will take place at Charles Wright on Thursday, when the Pirates will honor their senior participants just prior to the action, which will start at 3:15 p.m. — Kevin Ross is a VHS track and field coach.

has to find a weather station that produces results in line with actual observations. That isn’t necessarily the weather station right next door to the ice. Austrian scientists can’t believe that Tangborn’s using a weather station in Innsbruck to monitor the Vernagtferner glacier, which is 100 kilometers away, rather than a station close to the site. But, says Tangborn, somehow local weather phenomena keep the closer station from producing useful numbers. Tangborn’s monitoring program runs on old PCs in that office of his on the west side of the island. Big photographs of Alaska’s Columbia Glacier adorn one wall. Tangborn studied that glacier in the 1990s with the late Austin Post. (Icebergs calved from the Columbia Glacier forced the tanker Exxon Valdez out of the normal sea lanes that night in 1989 when it ran aground and spilled 11 million gallons of crude oil into Prince William Sound.) The litter of publications includes a children’s book on glaciers written by Tangborn himself. Tangborn saw his first glacier in 1960, when the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) transferred him from his native Midwest

to Washington and sent him out to the North Cascades to help study the South Glacier. That’s the glacier just outside North Cascades National Park, whose meltwater feeds the south fork of the Cascade River. (The work was done for the Water Resources Division of the US Geological Survey, which had started it three years earlier, in part, to gauge the effects of climate change. The division’s chief hydrologist at the time was Luna Leopold.) Six years ago, Tangborn wrote about his first-year experience at the glacier for The Wild Cascades, published by the North Cascades Conservation Council. “It was a typical day at South Cascade Glacier in October,� he wrote, “wet, cold, windy, cloudy and dark. After breakfast we gathered up the equipment we would need for the day (ice axes, current meter, measuring tapes, snow probing rods, rubber hip boots, collapsible wading rod), packed a lunch (a can of sardines, a box of Ry-Krisp and a can of apple sauce), dressed in the most waterproof clothes we could find and headed up the glacier. The rain turned to snow as we gained elevation ... One of the vital goals of the project was to measure the glacier’s balance and determine if it was gaining or losing mass. Visibility was now down to 10 or 15 feet ... One measurement was a little frightening as it was just above [a

round shaft], into which the glacier stream poured, making a thunderous roar as the water fell 200 feet to the glacier bed.� South Glacier is still “probably my favorite [glacier], because it was my first,� says Tangborn. But South Glacier has become a shadow of its former self. Tangborn pulls up a series of aerial photo*U T IBSE GPS graphs, datUSBEJUJPOBM PO UIF ing back to HSPVOE HMBDJPMPHJTUT 1928. From 1928 to 1959, UP BDDFQU UIF JEFB the glacier UIBU IJT XBZ XPSLT had pulled KVTU BT XFMM BT UIFJST back a little. CFDBVTF iJU T UPP FBTZ w By 1979, it had back a TBZT 5BOHCPSO "OE pulled little more. By JU T OPU BT NVDI GVO 2003, it had shrunk to less than half its 1928 length. (All of the monitored glaciers in nearby North Cascades National Park have lost volume since 1993.) South Glacier may be well down the road to oblivion. After Tangborn left the USGS, he made a living forecasting snowpack and runoff in the Columbia Basin for electric utilities. He has modified his forecasting program into the one he now uses to track glaciers. It’s hard for traditional on-the-ground
glaciologists to accept the idea that his way works just as well as theirs because “it’s too easy,� says Tangborn. And it’s not as much fun. Tangborn mentions an old colleague who thinks he should just drop the whole weather station approach. “He’ll never accept it,� Tangborn says. He pulls up a graph on his computer screen. One line tracks the mass balance of a glacier as measured by people on the ice. The other tracks the same glacier’s mass balance using his own program. The lines don’t coincide, but the patterns match closely. Any way you look at it, the balance is negative; in other words, that glacier is shrinking. Tangborn points out that the numbers are close enough to show the same trend — and that, besides, actual on-the-ice measurement isn’t entirely accurate either. Satellite monitoring could track all of the Earth’s 160,000 glaciers, but it would be less precise, and besides, no one has made a satellite available for the job. For the time being, he says, this is as good as it’s likely to get. One can argue that, however you collect the data, there’s not much point in knowing how fast the train is coming unless you’re willing to get off the track. But that’s another story. — Dan Chasan is a freelance writer and a member of Vashon’s school board.

to Dunakin that perhaps a new career could incorporate the goats — friendly and entertaining animals that were also tireless eaters and could navigate any landscape. “One day I looked at the goats in the pasture, and they looked really bored,� she said. “I felt like their talents were being wasted.� Over the next several years, Dunakin grew her small herd of 10 goats to more than 100 mostly rescued animals and hauled them all around the Puget Sound region for several months each year, letting them loose at job sites to eat up everything from fields of high grass and weeds to steep slopes engulfed in blackberry bushes. “It’s good for the goats, it’s good for the planet, and it’s good for people,� she said. Though the idea of renting goats to clear land wasn’t new at the time — some in California had been doing it for years — Rent-A-Ruminant, as Dunakin decided to call the unique and decidedly green business, gained considerable media attention. The goats’ first job in Seattle drew news helicopters. Then came segments on NPR and ABC
News. The goats even appeared in a couple commercials, a Fleet Foxes music video and a full-length sketch on The Colbert Report. As Dunakin juggled clearing jobs and news interviews, she also began to receive calls from around the world. As it turned out, a lot of people liked her idea and wanted to give it a try. “I’ve gotten a lot of calls from people wanting to get into the business, wanting to pick my brain,� Dunakin said. Wanting to help those who were serious get their businesses off the ground, but not wanting to hire them as employees or give too much free advice, Dunakin started an affiliate program. For a buy-in price, Dunakin now helps new goat wranglers obtain animals and equipment and set up their businesses and allows them use of Rent-ARuminant’s name as an affiliate. She’s also on call to advise affiliates on everything from advertising to goat care. “My experience is valuable because I have made every mistake in the book,� Dunakin said with a chuckle. “I have done everything the hard way and done everything by the seat of my pants.� Anderson, in Bothell, was one of the first to take Dunakin up on her offer. She was perusing Facebook one day when she noticed a post about Rent-A-Ruminant. “I saw the post one day after a month and half of think-

ing, ‘I’ve got to do something different with my life,’� she said. Now, Anderson still works part time in social work, but also runs Amazin’ Grazers, an affiliate of Rent-ARuminant that handles small jobs around the Seattle area. She recently took her 14 goats to clear a spot in North Seattle for a pea patch garden as well as a small spot outside a city mosque. “I like that it’s a green way of doing business. It matches my way of being in the world,� Anderson said. “The goats themselves are very peaceful and calming to be around,� she added. “They’re cute, and they provide entertainment and a reason to get out of bed in the morning.� Around the same time Amazin’ Grazers took off, Dunakin signed another affiliate in Sacramento. A North Carolina business, Mountain Goatscapes, came on as well, and a couple down under has taken off with Rent-ARuminant Australia. Closer to home, an acupuncturist in the Portland area started Sauvie Island Goat Rental, Dunakin said, and a Git-Yer-Goat in Bellingham recently started handling small jobs up north. “She’s been an amazing support,� Anderson said of Dunakin and her program. “It’s great having someone who knows the business like she does. I wouldn’t have done it myself.� For Dunakin, counseling new affiliates has topped off what she calls a wild ride in a rewarding but unpredictable line of work. Over the past several years, she’s had goats escape from jobs, been robbed at work sites and dealt with homeless people trying to get inside her fences. About a year ago, her goats contracted a virus that made the entire herd ill for weeks and threatened some of the animals’ lives. Fair Isle Animal Clinic helped diagnose and treat them. 4503: $0/5*/6&4 /&95 1"(&

“We managed to get them all through without losing any,� Dunakin said. Business has stayed steady for Dunakin, and this season she signed her largest job ever. She’s currently working a 51-day stint on Indian Island near Port Townsend, where the goats are clearing hundreds of acres of Scotch broom, thistle and other invasive plants at a U.S. Navy base. Dunakin recently jumped through several hoops to become an official government contractor, allowing her to take such jobs. “I’m the only one in the whole federal government at this point that does goats,� she said. And while the affiliate program brings in extra revenue, Dunakin, says she also simply wants to see more people taking part in a business that’s both good for the planet and oftentimes gives unwanted

animals a home. “It’s a fledgling industry in the grand scheme of things, for the size of the U.S. ‌ It’s still a drop in the bucket for what needs to be out there,â€? she said. Dunakin half-joked that she’d like to have a Rent-A-Ruminant affiliate in every state. But in all seriousness, she said, she’s getting close to retirement and perhaps one day she’ll put all her time into training the next generation of goat wranglers. “My second goal is to take over the world with goat rentals,â€? she said with a smile. Rent-A-Ruminant is still signing affiliates and open to having one on Vashon. For more information, see www.rentaruminant.com.

Cecilia Brotherton Nelson Cece passed away April 5, with the love of her life by her side. She grew up in West Seattle, attending Holy Rosary, and married John Paul Nelson III in 1965. Cece was loyal, kind, and funny. Her hobbies brought her great joy and many friends. Corvettes, books, crochet - whatever the passion, she gave it her all. She was active in the church and enjoyed the community of St. John Vianney on Vashon. Survived by her husband of 48 years, John Paul III; daughters Lorie and Teresa; grandchildren Christopher, Zachary, Andrew, Michael, and Hannah; and great-grandchildren Jacob and Alexandra. Donations may be made to The Epilepsy Foundation. Please visit our online guest book at www.islandfuneral.com.
Kenneth Eugene Svinth Kenneth Eugene Svinth, 59, lately of Forks, Washington, passed away on April 14, 2013 from a heart attack at his home while working on his beloved boat. A Celebration of Life will be held at 3:30pm May 4, 2013 at the fellowship hall of Bethany Lutheran Church, 26418 Mountain Hwy E., Spanaway, WA. Ken was born in Tacoma, WA on March 9, 1954 at Madigan Army Hospital. In 1972 he graduated from Mt. Rainier High School in Des Moines, WA and continued on to receive a AA in Marine Technology from Highline Community College. He followed his life’s passion and became a “hard hat� commercial diver. Ken worked as an diver for several oil companies around the world and then an aerospace welder for Boeing and later Exotic Metals until he retired. When Ken took a vacation to Barranquilla, Columbia he met his wife Edith. He lived on Vashon for many years until he sold his home to the Cascade Land Conservancy in 2008 and moved to Covington and then to Forks, WA. Ken is survived by his wife Edith, parents Peter and Mary Ann, sister Kathy, nieces Trina Wisdom (Brandon), Jaedelyn and Anika as well as many family and friends. Ken always had an animated story to tell or an invitation to go fishing to extend. An avid reader, hard worker, animal lover, practical joker, he loved his life, family, fishing, attending concerts, and the Seahawks. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be given to the Nisqually Indian Tribe Elders Program, or the Vashon Island Pet Protectors.

school district and foundation boards, said it’s clear that money raised supports vital programs. What is less obvious, he said, is that the work of the foundation and the trust in the community’s support also allows for school officials to budget in a much more efficient way. “With the support of the foundation, it has allowed us to have a much more stable baseline,� he said. The turmoil that proposed cuts create carries a cost, he noted, and, naturally, morale is much higher when pink slips aren’t given out and programs aren’t slated for elimination. In all, Ellison, said, the effect of the donations goes far beyond their actual monetary value. “From my standpoint, it’s just amazing what the impact is,� he said. “You can’t get a better return on your money.� So far, of the roughly 700 families with students in the district, just 60 have pledged some amount of support, Nespor said. During the first two weeks of May, volunteers from each grade will call families who have not donated and ask them to consider giving. The campaign will close on May 15, when the Seattle Foundation holds its annual Give Big event and adds to each contribution for the participating nonprofits. Ideally, Nespor said, as in years past, the foundation would like to see families give $1 a day per child in the school system, or $365 per child. Not all families can afford that, and she encourages people to give what they can. Last year, Soltman noted, about 40 percent of school families participated, and he would like to see more chip in this time. Nespor concurred.
“We would like everyone to contribute,� she said. Members of the foundation are reaching out through a variety of means this year, Nespor said, including hosting a tour of the new Vashon High School for island business owners earlier this month. The tour, sponsored by the Vashon Pharmacy and Skanska and organized by the Vashon Chamber of Commerce, helped bring in considerable support from the business community, she said. The foundation has also produced videos of island teachers Jenny Granum, John Rees, Harris Levinson and Jenny Wilke in support of the campaign. Two of them are on the foundation’s Facebook and website and have been sent out in emails as well. Two more will follow in the coming weeks. And, per tradition, at the four-way intersection in town, the foundation has placed a fundraising thermometer showing how much has been raised; it will remain there until the end of May. Both Nespor and Soltman stress that for many families, choosing to give a recurring donation might be the easiest option and that $30 a month from the majority of families in the district would enable the district to reach its goal. “If everyone does a little, we’ll get there,� Soltman said.

Mike fought hard to live for his family and friends, he made peace with God and was ready when the Lord called him home. Mike passed at home with Dianne and his Grandson Taylor by his side, he was in no pain. You could tell he was with God. A celebration of life will be held at the Burien Elks #2143 May 4, 2013 at 4:00 pm. In Lieu of flowers donations in Mikes name can be sent to the Tall Elks Foundation or Ronald McDonald House.

Born 2004, JAMIR is such a handsome boy. He has been through some health episodes early on that were not treated right away but he is in good health now. Jamir would love to be the only cat in his domaine. While he is not sure about being picked up, he loves making himself at home in your lap.
For the most current animals available – Please visit VIPP.ORG Born 2008 SIMONE is a very sociable cat who loves humans of all kinds. Some may recognize her from the County Store where she presided as the official store cat until recently. Her person’s life has changed and Simone is looking for a new job. She has excellent work habits and she is reliable and faithful. This girl would be an excellent employee as a cat.

After three difficult pregnancies and an emergency C-section tiny CONCHITA (nee Bonita) is on the mend and ready for a new home. Conchita, about 2 1/2 years old, is a classic Chihuahua looking for a comfy lap and preferably, a home without cats. She’s able to hold her own in most situations, having lived in households with adult children and other small dogs. Conchita can be a bit shy with new friends, but her soft brown eyes, expressive ears and spunky spirit are captivating. Contact dogs@VIPP.org to set up an initial visit or to get the latest updates on this sweet girl. $125 adoption fee applies.
