Business owners respond to spurt of theft By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
Several Vashon merchants are taking measures to improve security at their businesses following a string of commercial break-ins earlier this month. Between Thursday, May 2, and Tuesday, May 7, thieves reportedly broke into at least four Vashon businesses, sometimes making off with just change and in other cases stealing more expensive items. The Blue Heron Art Center was also broken into during that time, but it appeared nothing was stolen, said Sgt. Cindi West, a spokeswoman for the King County Sheriff’s Office. Kathy’s Corner, a nursery that has been hit several times over the past year, was broken into twice over the course of the week. The suspect or suspects broke through a fence as they have in the past and took hundreds of flowers, trees and other plants, said nursery owner Kathy Wheaton. She said the nursery has now been burglarized eight times in the past nine months. “It’s not funny anymore,” Wheaton said on Friday as she manned the cash register at the nursery. A sign taped to a pot by the register said she was collecting donations to help purchase a

Bank of America branch to close in September Corporate officials say a new ATM will be installed on the island By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Matlock said she lost less than $100 in cash but also had to purchase a new cash register. She added that she was disheartened by the incident and decided
Bank of America’s Vashon branch will close this fall after serving the island for 35 years, the company recently announced. The reason behind the closure is a decline in transactions at the island facility, according to Britney Sheehan, a spokeswoman for the bank. More and more, she said, instead of going to the bank, people are relying on new technologies, such as mobile and online banking, to deal with their banking needs. The branch is set to close Sept. 20. Bank of America will send out letters to its Vashon customers later this month, informing them of the decision to close on the island, Sheehan said. “We will give them ample time to discuss options,” she said. She noted that Bank of America has branches in West Seattle and Tacoma that may be convenient for some islanders. Sheehan declined to say how many individuals or businesses bank at the Vashon branch, but according to the Federal

A pot with a hand-written note on it is full of donations for added security. new fence and security cameras. “It’s embarrassing, to be real honest. I’m not good at accepting help,” Wheaton said. Dig, another nursery near town, was also broken into during the crime spurt. Syvlia
Matlock, who owns the business with her husband, said she arrived at the nursery on May 7 to find that someone had climbed the fence and used bolt cutters to steal their cash register, which was locked down.
Mukai opens to public, dispute continues Historic property is now listed as endangered by state organization By NATALIE JOHNSON For The Beachcomber
As Island Landmarks, the nonprofit that owns the Mukai Farm and Garden, finished a weeklong open house at the historic site last week, the organization was dealt another blow by its critics. The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation has added the farmhouse to its list of the most endangered historic properties in the state. The site was nominated for the list by the nonprofit Friends of Mukai, a group of islanders who say they’re concerned about the state of the historic farmhouse and Japanese gardens and would like to see them protected and restored.
The Washington Trust, the state’s only nonprofit historic perservation organization, will announce the farmhouse’s listing, along with a half-dozen other additions to its Most Endangered Historic Properties List, tonight at its annual conference in Vancouver, Wash. “This is validation that the property needs attention,” said Lynn Greiner, a Friends of Mukai board member. “We just think the more visibility this gets, the more people will appreciate that our effort to save it is appropriate.” However, the head of Island Landmarks, Mary Matthews, expressed surprise and disappointment at the listing, which she learned of last week. “I don’t think the Mukai Farm and Garden is threatened,” Matthews said, standing outside the farmhouse on Saturday, the last day of Island Landmarks’ SEE MUKAI, 19

This August voters will decide whether to renew a levy that provides operations and maintenance funds for the King County Parks system, which includes more than a dozen parks and natural areas on Vashon. The Metropolitan King County Council approved sending the levy, a six-year property tax levy lid lift of 18.77 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, to voters two weeks ago. The levy would raise parks revenue by 41 percent, providing funds the agency would use to maintain and operate its 200 parks, 175 miles of trails and 26,000 acres of open space. Revenue from the levy would also go to purchase new open space and support some local city parks as well as the Woodland Park Zoo. “Voters now have the opportunity to renew this levy and decide if they want to continue supporting the operation of parks and preservation of open space in King County,� said Joe McDermott, who represents Vashon on the county council, in a press release. Tom Dean, executive director of the Vashon Maury Island Land Trust, said he hopes Vashon voters will approve the levy, which he called critical to some Vashon parks and natural areas. He also said he will work to make sure islanders understand the levy is for King County Parks, not the Vashon Park District, something he said may cause confusion. King County Parks maintains more than a dozen parks and natural areas on Vashon, including Island Center Forest, Dockton

Park, the Maury Island Marine Park and the Maury Island Site, a natural area formerly owned by Glacier Northwest. Dean said that since the first King County Parks levy passed in 2003, parks funds have gone far on Vashon. Aside from funding basic park and trail maintenance, levy revenue has helped the county purchase several important properties, Dean said, such as the gateway parcel at Island Center Forest. Levy revenue has also helped fund significant improvements at Island Center Forest, such as the additions of trail signs, kiosks, maps and a new parking lot. “All that stuff that has made Island Center Forest so much more accessible to people, it is going to do the same thing moving forward at the Maury Island Marine Park and the Glacier site,� he said. Dean added that the land trust plans to work with King County Parks in the future to make several more important aquisitions, including properties around Judd Creek, projects that would be hampered if the levy did not pass. Two county council members, Kathy Lambert and Reagan Dunn, voted against the levy last month. In a press release, Lambert said she was concerned about how lifting the levy lid may affect other local agencies, since the amount of property tax junior taxing districts can raise combined is limited by the state. “Voters will have a choice to increase funding for expansion of our parks system or to preserve tax capacity for other services such as roads, transit, fire and public safety,� she said.

Following another tragic death, community event will focus on healing Vashon has lost several young people in recent months By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
Vashon leaders, stunned by the recent death of a 2010 Vashon High School graduate, the fourth such tragedy in recent months, have organized an event they hope will help the community heal. The event, “Gathering as a Community to Heal from Tragedy,� will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. tonight at Chautauqua Elementary School. It is being put on by Vashon Youth & Family Services and the Vashon Island School District. “I think we’re in a very tender situation emotionally, and I think there’s a lot of emotional fragility here,� said Superintendent Michael Soltman. “I think that this pattern could potentially continue unless we act to do something different. ... That’s why I’m so committed to doing this right away.� Many islanders were shocked last week to learn of the death of 20-year-old Samantha
Burkart, the fourth highly publicized death of an islander in his or her teens or 20s in a little over six months. Search and rescue officials discovered Burkart’s body near a trail on the Burton Peninsula last Wednesday, said Sgt. Cindi West, a spokeswoman for the King County Sheriff’s Office. Burkart was last seen on Thursday, May 2, and reported missing on the following Saturday. Family discovered her car parked at Jensen Point last Wednesday, prompting a quick search and rescue operation in the adjacent woods by Vashon’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and King County Search and Rescue. West said foul play is not suspected in Burkart’s death, which many are calling an apparent suicide. An official cause of death, she said, will not be released until the King County Medical Examiner’s Office completes a toxicology report. A representative of the office said on Friday that the toxicology report would take up to 10 weeks. Burkart, the daughter of Timothy Burkart and Rosalie Bonelli, was born and raised on Vashon. On Friday family members released a statement that said the young
woman had many talents and a good sense of humor. She liked to draw, they said, was published in a teen magazine and was an avid Scrabble player. “Alas, despite her many talents, she suffered from depression and low selfesteem that became more pronounced as she became older,� the statement said. “The family hopes that Sam’s passing will encourage others who suffer from mental illness to seek early treatment.� The family added that Burkart apparently died in a place she loved. “Finally, Sam loved Vashon Island and she died near the trails that she and her family would often walk when she was a child.� Soltman said many VHS staff members knew Burkart, and students and staff are also still grieving the recent deaths of high school students Palmerston Burk and Ryan Krug. Burk, a freshman, committed suicide last October, and Krug, a junior, died in a car accident in January. Last November, another young islander, India Castle, was also found dead after being reported missing for several days. The sheriff’s office later said Castle, 27 and
a graduate of VHS, died from an accidental drug overdose and exposure. “In some respect, the high school and the school district is in shock and has been for several months, and that shock lies right under the surface of our school community,� Soltman said. “We create as much normalcy as possible, but I think at the risk of covering up feelings, emotions and concerns that need to be dealt with for us to move forward.� Soltman said he’d already been working with VYFS officials to put on a community event on grief and healing, and when they learned of Burkart’s death last week, they decided to move quickly. “What we’re doing now is not effective at meeting the needs of kids who are dealing with these tragedies,� Soltman said, adding that he wanted to help both students and adults with their grief and work to prevent youth suicide. “It’s to open up a dialogue that creates understanding and support between parents and students and the community, so we can be closer together and prevent these tragedies in the future,� he said.

Top Three Spring 2013 I don’t know about you but the weather these last few days feel like heaven to me and lets me know that summer is just around the corner. Warm days and evenings on the deck, sitting on the beach or sailing away will soon all be here. Here are the Top Three things I am going to be doing around the house to be ready. Maybe you will be too. My deck: I spend an inordinate amount of time on my deck during the summer months. I got it mostly cleaned up last Fall, but I always like to check it out before the first big gathering of the season. I look for loose or (heaven forbid) rotted boards. Are the railings still sound and most of all is the deck still well fastened to the house? Deck failures are the topic of much discussion in the trades and the vast majority of them come from poor house to deck connections. If you are in doubt, give me a call. I would be happy to come and check yours out. My paint: My house is mostly unfinished Cedar. We like it that way and it certainly keeps the maintenance to a minimum. However, all our door and window trim, not to mention the windows themselves, are painted a dark red color. It is a nightmare keeping up with this so I regularly pick out a few areas to be repainted each year. I kind of like the work and always feel gratified to see a fresh coat on things. If this is not your thing, or you simply don’t have the time, now is the time to round up a painter to take over. They get REAL busy, REAL soon. My roof: I know I sound like a broken record on this one, but you wouldn’t believe the number of calls I get around the beginning of October looking for a good roofer. If you are in doubt about your roof, deal with it now. My roofer is already pretty busy, what with construction picking up and all. Also, this is a pretty good time to deal with the moss up there. I know I need to get rid of the green stuff myself so it goes on my list for Spring house repair. Enjoy your summer. I know I am looking forward to it and with these tasks behind me I can enjoy it all the more.

The meeting will be facilitated by Michael Meade, an islander who helps communities with similar tragedies through his organization, the Mosaic Multicultural Foundation. Yvonne-Monique Zick, who heads VYFS’s community and parent education and is organizing the event, said she felt fortunate that Meade, who travels frequently, could be at the meeting on short notice. “He’s an expert in healing communities,� she said. “This is his community, and he feels strongly about being able to be of service to us in this way.� Since Burk’s and Krug’s deaths, counselors with VYFS have been present in Vashon schools and have held support groups for students and staff members. The organization has also put on several educational meetings for parents on youth suicide prevention. Zick said she thought VYFS has provided a lot of resources and support, but she believes that many are still in pain from recent tragedies and are having trouble returning to “business as usual,� she said. That’s why the focus of tonight’s meeting, she said, will be on healing. “Every time it seems like we get a Band Aid or that scab starts to heal, we’ve been hit with another tragedy,� she said. “How do we heal? That’s really where we’re all looking, is how do we heal.� A memorial service for Samantha Burkart will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 18, at St. John Vianney Catholic Church.

Recent incidents prompt safety concerns for island children Parents should be both calm and cautious, authorities say By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
In the past week, two incidents involving island children have gotten considerable attention on Facebook and an online community bulletin board; in both instances, family members close to the situations have said they believe there was an intent to harm or abduct a child. Both incidents occurred outside at the Eernissee Apartments behind Island Home Center and Lumber. One islander was arrested, booked into jail and then released in connection with the first incident, which took place April 30, according to Heather Vorenkamp, the mother of one of the children involved. Sgt. Cindi West, a spokeswoman with the King County Sheriff’s office, said that case will be forwarded to the King County Prosecutor’s Office later this week to determine if charges will be filed. West said she had no information about the second case, so she could make no comment about it or if it was related in any way to the April 30 incident. In the first case, a group of children who live at the Eernisse Apartments were playing a game of hide and seek, and Vorenkamp’s
10-year-old daughter ran off to hide near a path that connects the housing complex to the Methodist church and the main highway, Vorkenkamp said. There, Vorkenkamp said, her daughter reported that she saw two people, one of whom seemed to be hiding in a bush and appeared to be a man dressed as a woman. The individual approached her with a large stick in hand, asked her name and indicated knowing her mom. She grew uneasy, Vorenkamp said, and ran home. When she started to run, the girl reported to her mother that the individual reached for her, but missed, and said to the person nearby, “I should have grabbed her sooner.� The girl told her mother that the individual followed her home, though at a considerable distance behind her, and saw where the family lives. Vorenkamp said they reported the incident to the authorities later that evening. Attempts to reach the mother who wrote an online post about the second of the incidents had not been successful at press time. On the Vashon Community Advocates Yahoo group, a woman reported that her 6-year-old son had been outside playing with a water spigot with a friend when a man drove up, got out of his car and approached the boys. The mother said she intervened at that time, causing the man to get back in his car, shut his car door and tell her he had just been wanting the boys to fill up his soda can with water.

The post on the Yahoo group says she called the police immediately with his license plate number, and they told her they have had calls about him and that kind of behavior before. However, West, with the sheriff’s office, said that repeated attempts to find information about that case have come up short. If the woman has been in touch with the authorities about the incident, West said, she would like to know more about it so she can determine why it does not appear to be in the system. If the mother has not been in touch with the police, she should be, West said. West added that the sheriff’s office would prefer that people be cautious and report incidents to the police even if they are not certain doing so is fully warranted. At the same time, she cautioned islanders not to read too much into these events because cases like this often turn out to be not what they at first seemed. “A lot of times we get to the bottom of these, and find there was no attempt to abduct the child,� she said. She also stressed the importance of watching children when they are outside and teaching them not to talk to strangers — commending the young Vashon girl who found herself in a very scary situation. And, she added, adults should call 911 if anything is questionable. “With anything suspicious, we would rather they report it,� she said.

EDITORIAL
Healing as a community In February, an editorial in this very spot in the paper reflected on how Vashon had been hard hit by three recent deaths of young people — Palmer Burk, India Castle and Ryan Krug. It’s hard to believe that just three months later, we’re adding another name to that list. While the death of 20-year-old Samantha Burkart is certainly a tragedy in itself, many islanders are noting that it also seems to cap a shocking and inexplicable string of deaths of islanders in their teens or 20s. Though Samantha, a VHS graduate, was no longer in Vashon schools like Palmer and Ryan, she was a part of our small community, and her death has been felt. And while all of these young people ran in different crowds and were lost under different circumstances, their deaths bind us together in a shared sense of loss. Leaders in the school district and Vashon Youth & Family Services say they’ve observed that some — in particular young people — are still struggling mightily with the losses of their friends and classmates. And for some, the most recent tragic news hit a spot already sore from grief. It’s appropriate that VYFS is taking steps beyond its support groups and suicide prevention meetings to try to address what some are still search for — healing. Some deaths will never make sense, and some wounds never fully heal, but we hope islanders struggling with any of the recent tragedies, as well as their families, will consider attending tonight’s event with an open mind. Perhaps coming together as a community will help relieve some of the pain that lingers. And who knows, one life reached out to could ultimately be one life saved.
Big bank on a small island On left-leaning Vashon, one would be hard pressed to find a fan of big banks. This is why we suspect this news that Bank of America will close in the fall was met on the island with mixed reactions last week. Some who do business at Bank of America are no doubt frustrated, maybe even angry, that their bank is leaving them high and dry. And those who dislike the corporation, which has become known in recent years for its high fees and controversial decisions, may be glad to see it leave or for one more branch to close. Whether angry or pleased, don’t forget one small group of islanders affected in a big way by this closure — the branch employees. As islanders worked to bring a credit union to Vashon a couple years ago, some organizers noted that while they had qualms with Vashon’s big banks, they liked many of the people inside them. Many islanders, in fact, have reported good experiences with staff at Bank of America, as well as Chase and U.S. Bank. Even Patte Wagner, the credit union’s well-liked manager, once headed Vashon’s Chase branch. If you bank at Bank of America and have appreciated the local staff — including manager Barbara Rice, who has been with the branch for 22 years — take time to say a word to them. And as for Bank of America officials, who have been somewhat tight-lipped about the closure, we hope they’ll work hard to relocate any Vashon employees willing to commute off-island to keep their jobs.
As I’m nearing the end of my two-plus terms on the Vashon Park District board, I urge goodhearted, intelligent and hardworking islanders to consider running for a seat on one of our elected island boards. The school board, the park board, the fire board and a patchwork of other island districts have positions open for the fall 2013 election. In order to make the election ballot, however, you have to sign up by this Friday with King County Elections. These boards offer the only true form of “local” government on Vashon, where we have the opportunity to manage our own fate. Having served on the park board since 2005 and armed with a trusty degree in political science, I’d like to think I’ve learned a few things. Vashon sometimes has the reputation of being “ungovernable,” which earns us a gold star in some circles, but it also makes it really difficult to fill potholes in a timely or efficient manner. In the spirit of George Washington’s farewell address, here are my “sentiments which are the result of much reflection, of no inconsiderable observation, and which appear to me all important to the permanency of [our] felicity as a people.” First, our passion should be to seek compromise in our local affairs, not to inflame controversy. Let’s face it — compromise is boring. Apologies to Henry Clay,
PUBLIC SERVICE By DAVID HACKETT but no one remembers “The Great Compromiser.” We celebrate the firebrands and the impassioned speakers. Although a rousing speech to the cemetery board can enliven an otherwise dead meeting, the hard work of local government is best accomplished by cool heads and rational discussion. An approach to a problem, or a solution that leaves most people reasonably happy, is the one we should celebrate. Second, we must stop admiring our problems and work toward practical solutions. Like the City of Seattle, Vashon often mistakes process for progress. After more than a decade of debate and handwringing, our new high school will offer less than we need for more money than was necessary had we acted sooner. We have too many self-appointed “community activists” who, by force of habit, are well-practiced at opposing or delaying things. What we need are “community leaders” — the type of people who can transform activism into action and posses the vision to get things done. Third, we should beware of

Sea rescue
We are lucky to have these brave men living among us In the March 27, 2013, Beachcomber, there was an article titled “Two Vashon fisherman honored for heroism.” After reading the article, I felt uplifted and inspired. Capt. Plancich and his three-man crew (one other crew member is also from Vashon, Dan Hardwick) and two others from off island rescued five seamen from the fishing vessel Heritage off the coast of Kodiak, Alaska. Early in the morning on Jan 25, 2012, Plancich and his crew of the 119-foot Tuxedni were tied up safely in Kodiak when they heard a Coast Guard radio broadcast: Another fishing boat, the Heritage,
was caught in a fierce storm and taking on water. The Heritage crew’s lives were in peril. They had abandoned ship, five in the life craft and two in the water in specially made suits. The Heritage was going down. The Tuxedni rescued five men while risking their own safety to assist others in a dangerous situation. The Coast Guard was involved in another emergency but picked up the two men from the water when they could. The Tuxedni’s crew was commended by the Coast Guard for being Good Samaritans and helping their fellow mariners. I have been looking for letters to the editor and found not a mention of these heroes and what they did since the original article. Well, I will mention them now. We are blessed and proud to have these

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
STAFF PUBLISHER: ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR: CIRCULATION:
islanders who claim to be fighting special interests because they are most likely furthering their own. There is a fine line between a righteous position and a self- righteous one. By sticking to facts and presuming the legitimacy of your opposition, you can avoid crossing it. And finally, we should treat our “elected officials” as friends and neighbors because they are. Our local district officials give up countless hours with their families in order to serve our community. The men and women who hold these positions — often without any compensation — deserve our appreciation. Disagreement should be stated respectfully, not like you are a pundit who is auditioning for Fox News or the Jerry Springer Show. So with all the clamor, controversy and contentiousness that too often accompanies public issues on Vashon, why would anyone want to serve on a district board? The simple reason is because you should. Absent good people willing to step forward and manage our public endeavors, we risk slipping into the island of the ungovernable. The vibrant, cooperative community that drew so many of us to Vashon depends on the determined efforts of the many, and the extraordinary leadership of a few.

Wednesday, May 15, 2013 • Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber
brave men living on the island and in Washington state as our neighbors and friends. What a great example for our youth and for us adults. We certainly need more examples of this kind reported, especially in today’s news reports of horrible and sickening events. Thanks to you and way to go, Tuxedni. — Phyllis Smith
Schools foundation
We all have a stake in helping the next generation get off to a good start I encourage all islanders to go online today and make a pledge or donation to Vashon’s public schools through the Vashon Island Public Schools Foundation (vashonschoolsfoundation.com). Our local schools need your financial support now, as they rely on these donations to balance their budget, now that state and local tax funding has so dramatically decreased. With your help, they can continue to provide the high quality of education that we all have come to expect. When I ask my friends what makes island living special, they say it’s because we take care of each other here. I wholeheartedly agree and would add that it’s also because we have a vibrant, diverse community that celebrates children and learning. Even if you don’t have school-age children or your kids have already finished school or your kids attend other schools, you can still help. We all have a stake in helping the next generation get the best start possible. Thanks for donating. — Priscilla Atwood

Vashon health services should align with our values The prospect of a Vashon Health Center controlled by Franciscan Health System calls to mind the significance of the Reformation and the Enlightenment in freeing individuals from religious tyranny. The Reformation claimed the right of people to read and interpret scripture for themselves; the Enlightenment established our freedom to reject religious authority and to base our conduct on our own moral reasoning, rather than the dictates of a central authority. The Constitution and government of the United States are founded on these ideas: that individuals can choose their own religious paths while respecting the freedom of others to do that same and participate in democratic society with people of many faiths and values. Today the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERDs) offer a set of moral prescriptions from a central authority, which health care providers in the Franciscan Health System must obey. A system in which our only accessible health center is controlled by the Roman Catholic Church creates a situation where all of us — regardless of our personal beliefs — are compelled to abide by its teachings and attitudes.
HEALTH CARE By MARGOT BOYER
The requirement to obey a single religious authority in the conduct of our personal lives is reminiscent of authoritarian regimes where self-determination holds little value. Such hierarchies fit poorly with a diverse and democratic society such as ours. Religious control over health care systems can produce tragic outcomes for individuals. I suspect that the unwillingness of female physicians to apply for jobs at the Vashon Health Center today reflects the likelihood that under the ERDs they will not be able to offer appropriate care to their patients, especially reproductive health and end-of-life care. Our constitution is founded on the idea that each of us determines her own faith and code of personal conduct, as long as we don’t interfere with the liberty of others. Requiring health care providers and patients in our community to adhere to
the dictates of the ERDs defies the Constitution and overturns the freedoms claimed by the Reformation and the Enlightenment several centuries ago. Why would anyone want a health care system run by an authoritarian church — unless he or she was a member of that church and adhered to its principles? Who wants someone else’s “infallible� authority to control
Our constitution is founded on the idea that each of us determines her own faith and code of personal conduct, as long as we don’t interfere with the liberty of others. our most personal choices? We need a real alternative to the health care offered by Franciscan Health Services — health care controlled by our community, in alignment with our values, where the dignity and conscience of each person is respected. I hope we can put our heads together and create one. — Margot Boyer writes, teaches and works in a family-owned small business.

Burton’s water sports center set to open Vashon Watersports, the island’s new purveyor of kayaks, canoes and paddleboards, is set to open for the season this weekend. Owners Doug and Erin Kieper will open Saturday and are offering one hour of free paddling to all who stop by the boathouse at Jensen Point. After buying the kayak business from the Vashon Park District earlier this year, they have expanded their fleet to include 27 kayaks, including some high performance boats; two canoes and five stand-up paddleboards. The couple are looking forward to opening day, Doug Kieper said. “It’s really exciting,� he said. “For us, it’s a pursuit of passion.� Through a variety of discounts, classes and tours they plan to offer throughout the summer, Kieper said they hope to make the water sports they offer as accessible as possible. “Our goal is to put this in striking distance of more families,� he said. Among the possibilities for the months ahead, Kieper said, are moonlight tours at KVI, low-tide tours, history tours of Quatermaster Harbor and trips to Blake Island. Also planned is a $100 pass good for 10 hours of paddling on any craft they have — a considerable discount for kayaks. One of the passes will be raffled off on opening day and all the proceeds given to the Vashon Maury Island Land Trust. Additionally, Kieper said, they are considering offering weeknight specials, noting that he would like to see parents come home

Tickets to the show, $13 for adults and $11 for students, are on sale at the Vashon Bookshop. The production will star Rachael Thomas and Charlotte Schoen, sharing the title role of the under-loved and overworked heroine of the tale. Other dancers will play characters including Ego, Midnight, Hope and Cinders, as well as the more whimsical roles of bubbles, pumpkin babies and fireflies. Three male dancers from a Port Orchard dance studio have also been recruited to appear in the show. The show has been developed by the young dance students, who have worked with their teachers, Dane Academy artistic director Cheryl Krown and ballet teacher Julie Gibson, to create original choreography to tell the story. “We always choose the show based on which story and characters will most suit our most advanced dancers for that year ... what roles we think will challenge and inspire them. Then we build the show and the other characters for each class from there,” said Krown.
Vashon Opera does Puccini Some tickets are still available for Vashon Opera’s presentation of two Puccini one-act operas, “Il Tabarro” and “Gianni Schicchi.” Shows are set for 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, at Bethel Church. Tickets, $32, can be purchased at www.vashonopera.org and Vashon Bookshop. The productions boast a roster of regional opera stars bolstered by an ensemble of local singers, as well as an orchestra of acclaimed players from the region.

slanders can celebrate a monumental environmental victory that is also, quite literally, a fish story, at a reading next week.
Lynda Mapes, an award-winning journalist and author, will appear at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 23, at the Land Trust Building, to read from her new book, “Elwha: A River Reborn” — a much-heralded account of the recent dismantling of two massive dams on the Olympic Peninsula’s Elwha River and the subsequent return of chinook and steelhead salmon to that waterway. The book, co-published by The Mountaineers and The Seattle Times, is based on extensive interviews, field work, historical research and rare period images. The book also contains 125 color photographs by Mapes’ collaborator, Seattle Times photojournalist Steve Ringman. Slides of many of those photographs will be shown during Mapes’ presentation on Vashon. For Mapes, a Seattle Times reporter, telling the complex tale of the river’s restoration on both the pages of her newspaper and in her book has been the chance of a lifetime. “The story had everything — it had characters, setting, history, politics, and it had unanswered questions,” Mapes said in a phone interview. “And
then it also turned out to be a story against type, of a place that has renewal and hope and something positive.” The dams — one of them 108 feet tall and the other 210 feet tall, and both within the boundaries of the Olympic National Park — were built and became operational in the years between 1910 and 1927. In the 1980s, members of the Lower Elwha Kallam tribe and environmentalists petitioned for their removal, setting the stage for a threedecadeslong struggle among policy and law makers, tribal leaders, conservationists, industrialists and lawyers as to how to best accomplish the job of freeing the river. In the end, Mapes said, it was everyday people who brought the dams down. “It was very clear to me how many times this almost didn’t happen,” she said. “But the tribe and ordinary citizens just insisted that this be done.” To cover the Elwha story, Mapes spent years traveling the back country of the Olympics, immersing herself in the history and culture of the region, as well as gaining deep knowledge of the science of the river itself. From the start, she said, The
The Elwha will never again be the Eden it was, and it’s no longer an unmapped wilderness ... what could it mean to restore a river ecosystem, all the way from the mountains to the sea? How did a region synonymous with hydropower become the world’s biggest dambusting pioneer? How would this place, with its human and natural history so intimately connected, be transformed as it was taken apart and put back together? — Lynda Mapes, Elwha: “A River Reborn.” Seattle Times was committed to fully covering the story of the destruction of the dams — support she was grateful for throughout her years of reporting on the subject. Mapes’ beat as a reporter includes Native American tribes, nature and environmental topics, and she has received national and regional awards for her work. Along with her teammates on the Elwha coverage at The Seattle Times, she shared the 2012 award for online journalism from the American Association for the Advancement
of Science. She is also the author of two other books, “Washington: The Spirit of the Land” and “Breaking Ground.” And earlier this month, she was named as a Knight Science Journalism Fellow — part of an elite class of 12 international journalists who will study science, health, environment and technology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology during the next academic year. Joseph Bogaard, president of the Vashon Maury Island Land Trust and deputy director of the Northwest organization Save Our Wild Salmon,
said he is excited to welcome Mapes back to the island — a place she lived from 1992 to 2002 — to share her book. The land trust is co-sponsoring the author event with Vashon Bookshop, where copies of Mapes’ book are available. “This is a story that will be told from various angles for a long time,” Bogaard said. “This is happening in our backyard, and we’ve never taken out dams this big on the planet, and the river’s headwaters are deep in a national park that is in pristine condition. It’s a very historic event with lots of historic implications.”
A benefit show will honor the memory of a hometown hero A concert to raise funds for the 1st Lt. Robert Bennedsen Memorial Scholarship will take place on Saturday night at Red Bicycle Bistro. The Vashon blues band One More Mile will play the concert — the first music event of its kind to raise money for the scholarship, which is given out annually by the Vashon High School class of 2004. Funds are administered through the Vashon Community Scholarship Foundation. Robert Bennedsen, a well-known and
much-loved islander, was killed by a roadside bomb on July 2010, near Qalat, Afganistan, while serving in the U.S. Army. He was 25 years old at the time of his death. The show on Saturday night will start at 8:30 p.m. and there is a suggested donation of $10 to attend. There will also be a 50/50 raffle taking place during the event, with the winner taking home half the pot of money collected for the raffle. The winning ticket will be drawn at 11 p.m. and the winner must be present to claim the prize.
Donations to the scholarship fund can also be made at Vashon’s U.S. Bank — checks should be made payable to 1st Lt. Robert Bennedsen Memorial Project. Donations can also be made by contacting the designated donations team at info@vashonscholarshipfoundation.org.

The multi-talented members of the New Old Time Chautauqua ensemble will bring their educational vaudeville circus to Vashon this weekend for a performance at Open Space for Arts & Community.
Jugglers, magicians and musicians galore will perform A performance ensemble that has been spreading merriment for more than 30 years will stage a show on Vashon on Sunday. The New Old Time Chautauqua, founded in 1981 by the famous juggling group The Flying Karamazov Brothers and physician/activist/clown Patch Adams, is a non-profit organization that brings live shows and free circus and educational workshops to schools, prisons, retirement homes and communities up and down the West Coast. The group’s performance on Vashon is a benefit to raise funds for its annual summer tour, and organizers have promised a vaudeville extravaganThe New Old Time Chautaqua’s show is at 4 p.m. Sunday at Open Space for Arts & Community. Tickets, $12 for adults and $8 for kids, are on sale at the Vashon Bookshop and also at www.brownpapertickets.com. For more information, visit www.chautauqua.org.
za featuring a full program of acts designed to wow and amuse. The Flying Karamazov Brothers — fresh off an extended off-Broadway run, and with years of performing on such shows as Seinfeld, The Late Show with David Letterman and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood behind them — will bring their juggling and comedy prowess to the stage. Also appearing will be poet Kevin Murphy, Christian Swenson, whose hard-to-pigeonhole performance style is called Human Jazz, Port Townsend comic and magician Joey Pipia, and Godfrey Davis, a huge puppet created by Randy Minkler. The whole show will be backed by a band called The Fighting Instruments of Karma Marching Chamber Band/Orchestra, complete with plenty of brass instruments. Islanders will also see familiar faces on the stage. Vashon’s Circus Finelli will bring its blend of comedy and accordion playing to the stage, and Open Space founders Janet McAlpin and David Godsey will
also perform. Fans of Godsey’s character, The Reverend Hunter Davis, will be glad to know Godsey is bringing the preacher back into his repertoire, with a new name, The Rev, during Sunday’s show. Former islander Michelle Bates will also play in the band during the show. Bates, a photographer, said she “got sucked in� to the ensemble after documenting the group’s work in Mississippi and New Orleans, where the New Old Time Chautauqua traveled for a series of post-Hurricane Katrina shows. Soon thereafter, though, she found herself itching to join the group’s band, and picked up a clarinet and started to learn how to play it. The band — which she said was “very forgiving,� allowed her to join after only six months. She now travels with the group each summer. “It’s a great group for trying and learning new things for people of all ages,� said Bates. — Elizabeth Shepherd

Two performers bring an eclectic mix to a lively concert Brevity is best in fest Two Northwest-based musicians — Scott Cossu and Baby Gramps — will team up for what might seem like an unlikely double bill at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Vashon Allied Arts’ Blue Heron building. In fact, Baby Gramps, who has been called the Salvador Dali of folk music, and genre-hopping pianist Cossu have played together many times and have great respect for each other. They’ve even teamed up before on Vashon. “We actually played the Blue Heron together many years ago, and it was a very good turnout,� said Cossu. “We each do our set and then play a few pieces together. It’s a very comfortable billing.� Cossu plays everything from jazz to honky-tonk and was called “jazz luminary of the future� by Billboard Magazine. John Croarkin will join him on flutes, harmonica and saxophone, as he performs selections from his new jazz and blues CD and new pieces from the his upcoming “Lullaby� recording. Baby Gramps, a Seattle music icon, sings his own arrangements of rags, jazz

The Sixty Second Film Festival, organized by islander Matt Lawrence, will take place at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Vashon Theatre. Lawrence has assembled more than 50 films from all over the world, all less than one minute long, for the festival — a celebration of succinct storytelling and quick filmmaking on the fly in a digital age. Seven of the films are from Vashon, while others come from cities and towns throughout the United States, Israel, Germany, Italy and Serbia. “It’s really been fun building this from the ground up,â€? said Lawrence. “The community support is what keeps this thing going.â€? The films in the festival, Lawrence said, were made by both professional and amateur filmmakers, and are, for the most part, family friendly. Admission to the festival is free, of charge, and Lawrence is promising that special beverages, chocolates and other treats will also be available for audience members. There is an after-party when it is all done — filmmakers and film-goers alike can mingle at Snapdragon CafĂŠ, next door to the movie theater, and toast what happens when the language of cinema meets the pithiness of the age of Twitter.

Tickets to the show are $10 for adults and $5 for students. Many Islanders are familiar with Daryl’s music.

Vashon baseball team hits the mark, advances to State By RITA ALLMAN For The Beachcomber
The Vashon baseball team opened postseason play on May 9 at home against highly ranked Friday Harbor in a loser-out game and prevailed 3-0 in a well played pitchers duel. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fourth, when Vashon pushed two unearned runs across to take a 2-0 lead. The Pirates scored the runs with two outs and without the benefit of a hit, due to two walks and two Friday Harbor errors. They added one more in the sixth to complete scoring. Standout Josh Myer pitched a complete game shutout, allowing the opposition just three hits. He had five strikeouts and four walks. Vashon was only able to put up three hits as well. Ben Reoux had two of them with two singles. He also scored two runs and had a stolen base. Sam Schoenberg had the other Pirate hit, along with an RBI.
Vashon batters struck out nine times, but by being patient at the plate, they were able to work Friday Harbor pitching for five walks. Line score: Vashon 3 runs, 3 hits, 2 errors, Friday Harbor 0 runs, 3 hits, 3 errors. The win advanced the Pirates to the next round of play in the Tri-District Tournament with a doubleheader in Bellingham, where they needed to win one of the two games to advance to State. On May 11, Vashon traveled to Sehome High School to take on the Meridian Trojans in Tri-District play. The first score of the game came in the top of the fifth, when the Pirates put up a five spot to take the lead. Vashon was able to bunch five of their seven hits during the inning. Meridian scored single runs in the sixth and seventh to narrow the score to 5-2, but that was as close as they would get.

Kelly Sullivan started on the hill for Vashon and pitched the first six innings. He gave up two runs on just four hits. Sullivan struck out five and walked five. Ezra Lacina pitched the final shutout inning allowing one hit and striking out two. Offensively, Vashon was led by Sam Schoenberg, who was 2 for 3 with a run scored and an RBI. The Pirate defense was solid again with just one error. Line score: Vashon 5 runs, 7 hits, 1 error, Meridian 2 runs, 5 hits, 2 errors. The victory secured a spot for the team in the state playoffs. In the night cap of a double-header on May 11 in Bellingham, Vashon met up with a familiar opponent, Cascade Christian. The teams split their season series during Nisqually League play. This day the teams played for third and fourth seeding at the Tri-District tournament. Lacina, Logan Hawkins and Sam Yates shared the pitching duties for the Pirates, each throwing two innings. Lacina allowed three runs on three hits. He struck out one and had four base on balls. Hawkins gave up two runs on five hits with no strikeouts and one walk. Yates surrendered no runs on just one hit and had two strikeouts. The Vashon offense mustered five hits.

Myer, Reoux, Clyde Pruett and Hawkins all had singles, and Lacina chipped in with a double. The Vashon defense was splendid again, committing just one error. Line score: Vashon 0 runs, 5 hits, 1 error, Cascade 5 runs, 9 hits, 3 errors. Vashon is now one of the 16 teams in the 1A State Tournament, a single-game elimination contest. Coach Steve Hall was pleased with the results and had praise for all the members of the team. “I couldn’t be more proud of the boys, and I mean all 24 boys, not just the 15 that have suited up at the end of the year,” he said. “This has been an incredible year as well as a very fun year, and none of the success would have happened without every single player contributing on a daily basis for the last several months to the building of our program.” Hall added that to top off the success, the baseball team was named the 1A State Academic Champions, an award based on the group’s overall GPA. First up for the Pirates in the state tournament is Woodland High School, who they will face on May 18 at Castle Rock High School. Game time is 1 p.m., and there will be a second game at 4 p.m. if the team advances. — Rita Allman does web and team support for the Pirates.

open house. During the eight-day open house, Matthews and Nelson Happy, Matthews’ husband and an Island Landmarks board member, welcomed more than 80 people to the property just outside town on 107th Avenue. Matthews said that although the house itself wasn’t open, she gave some visitors tours of the property and others showed themselves around and looked at the approximately 15 historical photos placed around the site that showed the property as it looked in the 1920s and 30s, when a large strawberry farm and fruit barreling plant were operated there. “People were really nice and very interested,” she said. On Thursday, when Matthews and Happy learned that the farmhouse would be added to the Washington Trust’s list of endangered properties, they quickly took action. They each drafted letters to the organization, arguing that the farmhouse was not endangered or at risk because Island Landmarks has been a good steward of the site, maintaining it, opening it to the public periodically and by appointment and working to find a qualified organization that could take it on and eventually restore the house and gardens.
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
“No one knows as much about this wonderful site, or cares for its preservation, as I do,” Matthews wrote in her letter. “I hope that you and your organization will perhaps think more charitably on our efforts now that you know the facts.” Chris Moore, field director for the Washington Trust, said he presented the organization’s board with Island Landmarks’ request to reconsider the listing, but the board decided to keep the site on the list. “It’s clear that there is uncertainty about the future of the resource,” Moore said in an interview. “That has kind of come front and center above all else.” For years, the historic farmhouse and garden, purchased more than a decade ago by Island Landmarks, has been at the center of a heated dispute, with critics saying, among other things, that the property has fallen into disrepair and hasn’t been accessible to the public. Last fall, a group of concerned islanders who would later form the Friends of Mukai attempted to wrest control of Island Landmarks by following the organization’s own bylaws to oust Matthews and other board members and install their own elected board. However, a judge ruled in November that the takeover was not done legally, a decision the group is now appealing. And earlier this year, Allyson Brooks, a top official from the state Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation,
Page 19
voiced concern about the status of the house and what she called Island Landmarks’ apparent failure to live up to the terms of a state grant that helped purchase it. “The State of Washington is considering its legal options to prevent further personal use of the property and further deterioration of the historic character,” Brooks wrote in a letter to Island Landmarks. Matthews and Happy, however, insist they’ve been misrepresented and that they’re doing all they can, including loaning their own money to Island Landmarks, to maintain the property and keep it accessible to the public until a large, taxsupported agency can take it on. “That’s what we have always wanted, and we have worked toward that,” Matthews said. “It’s difficult for people to understand that.” Moore said the Washington Trust didn’t intend to take sides in adding the farmhouse to its endangered list, but to bring more statewide awareness to a turbulent situation around the house and what he called the property’s uncertain future. The trust, he said, would like to see Mukai have a clear stewardship plan in place, as well as a group that has the resources to provide longterm stewardship. He said the trust was willing to work with any of the stakeholders involved to see that happen. “It’s not so much to say from our standpoint that somewhere along the line people are in the wrong, but that we have a situation right now that’s unfortunate, and we
want to see it move forward,” Moore said. In light of this week’s listing, the Friends of Mukai are organizing a June 1 event that they hope will draw even more attention to the property. The event, which the group is calling This Place Matters, will take place on the road outside the farmhouse at 1 p.m. and will include speakers, music and a group photo of all who attend. The event is co-sponsored by the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, King County 4Culture and the Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Association. Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon Sen. Sharon Nelson and King County Executive Dow Constantine have all been invited to attend. “The ultimate goal is to get the property revitalized,” Greiner said. “Friends of Mukai has a number of strategies to accomplish that, and this is just one. … We hope it will be a fun event but at the same time about a topic that we take seriously.” Matthews, meanwhile, called the endangered listing upsetting but said she would continue to move forward on plans to maintain the property until an adequate agency could take it on. She’s also planning an open house for the second weekend in June, when the house will be opened for tours and information on the site’s history will be on display from noon to 6 p.m. June 7, 8 and 9. “We keep saying this certainly isn’t for us, it’s for the people,” she said.

“We drew customers from all the large banks,� she said. While it is not clear what effect the credit union may have had on Bank of America’s decision, the closing of its Vashon branch is part a nationwide trend. According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, in the United States last year, banks and thrifts closed more than 2,200 branches, and more are set to follow. Within the next decade, the number of banks is expected to shrink to 2000 levels. The same Wall State Journal article reported that in 2012, Bank of America closed nearly 200 branches — in line with its goal of eliminating 12 percent of branches over the next few years. On Vashon, five employees currently work at the bank, according to Branch Manager Barbara Rice, who referred all questions to Sheehan. Rice noted that she has worked at the bank for 22 years. To continue to serve islanders, Sheehan said, a full-service Bank of America ATM will be installed on Vashon, with details about its features and location following at a later date.
BANK CONTINUED FROM 1
Deposit and Insurance Corporation, as of June 30, 2012, the three island banks held nearly equal shares of the banking market, with Bank of America and Chase showing roughly $41 million on deposit — approximately 33 percent of the island’s banking market shares — and US Bank holding 34 percent. Additionally, Puget Sound Cooperative Credit Union (PSCCU) has about 2,500 members and $25 million on deposit, according to Branch Manager Patte Wagner. Sheehan, with Bank of America, said she did not know if the Vashon branch had lost customers in recent years, contributing to the falling number of transactions. Bank of America officials had not looked at the Vashon situation in that “granular� of a way, she said. At PSCCU, however, Wagner noted that when the credit union opened in the spring of 2011, many who had been banking elsewhere moved their money.

Park district files for fields water permit By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
With the Northwest’s dry season approaching, the Vashon Park District has applied for a permit for a water right at the Vashon Fields Project, and a public comment period on that permit request is set to begin soon. By law in Washington, entities such as the park district can irrigate fields a halfacre or less without a water right; the fields project is 5 acres. News that the district did not have a water right first became public late last summer, when a tip to The Beachcomber prompted a call to the State Department of Ecology, which issues the permits. After that inquiry, Doug Wood, a hydrologist and permit manager with the department, said he began working with the district to bring it into compliance. In a recent interview, he noted that he expected the permit request in March of this year, and that while it did not come until early this month, he saw no evidence of park district officials trying to circumvent the law. “They have been very accessible,� he said. Last week Wood said he believes the water right will be issued within six months and that a temporary permit will be issued in the end of June, after the park district publicizes its permitting request and a 30-day public comment period ensues. With the newly planted sports fields at the complex thinning and turning brown, Mike Mattingly, the fields’ site supervisor, said he wanted to begin watering and fertilizing and, in fact, began watering when park district commissioner David Hackett sent the application to the state last week. Fertilizing was planned for this week. Recently, Hilary Emmer, a member of the park district’s Oversight Committee, said that earlier this spring, the committee’s chair, Janet Quimby, assigned her to look into the water right issue when it became clear a permit had not yet been obtained. Emmer contacted Wood in late April, she said, and he sent her the permit application, which she then forwarded to park commissioner David Hackett, who completed the task. Emmer noted her frustration that it was well into spring before the commissioners acted and that until they receive a temporary permit, watering will be done outside of the legal water code.
“Once again, we’re playing catch-up because we have no planning, and we are in a crisis and are watering illegally,� she said, “Yes, the state is looking the other way, but that does not make it legal.� When asked about these watering concerns, Wood said the state’s stance is that it wants the park district to be in compliance, which would mean not watering until a temporary permit is in hand. But he tempered that stance by saying he expects there is plenty of water at the site and given the usual weather this time of year, he does not expect the district to use much water between now and when the temporary permit is issued. He also said he would not like to see project lose its grass fields now for lack of water. “We do not want to compound the mistakes that have been made with a hasty decision,� he said. Some people closely following the park district have also expressed concern that the delay in securing a water right has been a costly mistake for the district. This is not the case, Wood said. The district is seeking to secure its permit through a Cost Reimbursement process, which relies on outside consultants, instead of state employees, to do the necessary field work for a water right. The process will likely cost around $10,000, though it could be less or more, Wood said. Some government information about this option sounds as though it is only for people who need their water right quickly — and then pay for it accordingly. However, Wood said, since at least 2007, except in Island County, all applicants for new water rights — such as the Vashon Park District — have had to use the more expensive Cost Reimbursement process rather than an inexpensive state process. At the fields, one of the other hurdles to watering, permit or not, is the lack of power, according to commissioner Hackett. The site has a generator, but it can only be used 12 hours a day, Mattingly said. Bringing power to the fields is costly, but he noted last week that he has been working to lower the cost and hopes to have power to the fields soon. Last week Hacket expressed optimism that the necessary pieces of the project will come together soon. “I am hoping too see a lusher field of grass by the time soccer season opens,� he said.

Born 2002, GRACIE is looking for a new home. She belonged to one family who gave her to another family and then Gracie moved in with another lady who was going to be away and could no longer care for her. After three homes, Gracie is looking for her forever home. Gracie is a sweet girl who likes to sit on the couch and look out the window. She is used to being in a quiet home where she can settle in with regular servings of Fancy Feast and a nice soft bed.

For the most current animals available – Please visit VIPP.ORG VIPP long-time resident, Foster, born about 2010 Deserves A Home! Foster was found hanging around Dockton and he did not seem to have an owner. He was brought to VIPP and no one has claimed this boy. Foster is a little shy at first but he loves his snacks and when you greet him with food, he is right there with you. He would do best in a quiet home with adults. He came to VIPP 11/14/11.
BUDDY is a 9 year-old Pomeranian
and as you can see from his picture, has the cuteness factor! He is as sweet as he is cute. He does not require a full time lap but loves affection and treats. He also gets along extremely well with other small dogs and cats. Not recommended for households with young children. VIPP requires a $125.00 adoption fee.
