Caretakers at two parks face difficult choice
With cuts at risk, schools foundation extends deadline
New policy places limits on employment options at the park district
By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
The Vashon Schools Foundation has extended its fundraising deadline, hoping to raise at least $100,000 more in order to stave off painful cuts at the school district. “We’re really happy with how people have stepped up. We just need them to keep stepping up,” said Zabette Macomber, the foundation’s board president. With cuts to high school electives and elementary school class sizes hanging in the balance, foundation volunteers are now asking that all school district families consider giving and are promoting an anonymous match now offered up by two school district families. “It’s not daunting if everyone pitches in,” Macomber said. The foundation — which aimed to bring in $500,000 this spring to once again supplement the Vashon Island School District’s budget — originally hoped to wrap up its campaign last Wednesday, promoting one last fundraising push on the Seattle Foundation’s GiveBIG day. And the foundation did well during GiveBIG, board members say, bringing in about $80,000 in donations — half of which had been pledged earlier — and earning about $8,000 in matching funds from the Seattle Foundation. In fact, the foundation ran the ninth most successful fundraiser that day, sharing the top-10 SEE SCHOOLS, 13

Following a decision by the Vashon Park District’s board of commissionP e ers, two parks employees must choose between keeping their jobs and remaining b in their homes. Currently, employees at two Vashon p parks serve both as caretakers — living rent-free at the parks in exchange for r c caretaker duties — and as full-time maintenance workers earning hourly wages. te However, long-standing concerns about this th arrangement recently resurfaced, and last la week the park board unanimously approved a policy requiring that employa ees e hold only one position with the district. They also approved a measure stattr ing in that the employees affected by the new policy will have until the end of the year to p make the transition. m “I’ve got to choose my job or where we live. That’s probably the most difficult li choice ever,” said Scott Provost, who with c his h wife Sydney Luhr has been a caretaker at a Paradise Ridge for 15 years. Provost has h also been a park maintenance worker for fo 17 years. The couple and their two daughters live in a mobile home they own d but b that sits on park land they rent from the th district.

Craft3, the organization that will administer loans for septic system work for islanders in Vashon’s Marine Recovery Areas, will also begin working with islanders to see that more homes have their systems inspected. Terry Hull, a representative of Craft3, discussed the new program at Monday’s meeting of the Vashon-Maury Island Community Council. The VMICC is partnering with the nonprofit lender on the project, which is funded by a $25,000 grant from the Wells Fargo Environmental Solutions for Communities program. “This is an effort to engage the community about the importance of doing periodic monitoring and making minor maintenance and repair activities as a way to preserve their assets,” Hull said in an interview. Craft3 was recently chosen by King County to administer a $350,000 revolving loan program for islanders in marine recovery areas (MRAs) who have been told to repair or replace their systems but can’t afford the work up front. The county secured the funding from the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Estuary Program. Hull said that while Craft3 was pleased to be chosen for the loan program, it also wanted to see those with septic systems new and old properly maintain them. Islanders, he said, are known for being hesitant to complete inspections required every year to three years by Public Health SeattleKing County, and septic problems often go
undetected. “A little monitoring cane help identify minor things that need to happen and avoid major repairs at some point, which become very costly,” Hull said. Traditionally health department officials complete septic inspections, Hull said. However, some communities around the country have developed alternative models, such as having a community representatives do the inspections. “There are a variety of models out there to be explored,” he said. Craft3, with the help of islander Susie Kalhorn, an environmental educator contracted to do outreach for the project, will begin to meet with islanders in MRAs to discuss their options and get feedback. Eventually, Hull said, they may also work with the county to implement a new model. “We want to hear from people,” Hull said. “This is kind of a kickoff.” VMICC board president Tim Johnson said that after the council, and especially community activist Carl Sells, worked to see the loan program come to fruition, he was pleased to see Craft3 taking it one step further to encourage regular septic monitoring. Johnson said he hoped the county would secure even more grant money this year, making more loans possible when MRAs expand and more islanders are required to do septic work. “Our job is to assist King County and get this money out working so we can all go back and get more future funding, because more MRAs will be designated,” he said.

Islanders to run for seats on public boards Vashon Pool set to open for season Several islanders threw their hats into the political ring last week, filing with King County Elections to run for various elected posts on Vashon. Five positions on public boards and commissions will be contested this fall, including all three open seats on the Vashon Park District board. Elections will take place in November, with primaries in August. The deadline to withdraw from the election was Monday. Current park district commissioner Lu-Ann Branch will run for reelection and is challenged by Stephen Evans, a patent lawyer who moved to Vashon last year, as well as Adam Ecevedo, a materials management analyst at Boeing. John Hopkins, who was appointed to the park board last year after another commissioner stepped down, will run to be elected to the post. He is challenged by Scott Harvey, a small business lender who currently serves on the agency’s Oversight Committee. Jason Hoffmaster also filed to run for the seat, but withdrew his name. Finally, two islanders are running to fill the position that will be vacated by parks comissioner David Hackett. Doug Ostrom, a semi-retired economics professor who grew up on Vashon and returned as an adult, will go up against Robin Magonegil, who works in the City of Seattle’s planning department and has been involved in youth sports.
One seat on Water District 19’s threeperson board is also contested. Jenny Bell, a water consultant with graduate studies in administration of potable water, and Mark Graham, an employee of Burton Water Company and local musician, have both filed for the seat to be vacated by Steve Haworth. On the Vashon Island Fire & Rescue board, one seat is open, vacated by commissioner Neal Philip. Camille Staczek filed for the position and will run unopposed. Staczek is a longtime registered nurse and nursing instructor who also volunteers with Vashon’s Certified Emergency Response Team, a group that partners with VIFR. Vashon Island School District commissioners Bob Hennessey and Steve Ellison are both running unopposed for reelection. Jake Jacobovitch originally filed to run for Ellison’s seat, but withdrew his name. Tim Lafferty is running unopposed for reelection to the board of Vashon’s cemetery district. Jay Hanson, who was appointed to the board last year and filed for the seat, is challenged by John Kimble, an arborist and senior gardener with Seattle Parks and Recreation. All three members of Vashon’s airport district board are running for reelection, as are two members of Vashon’s sewer district board.
The Vashon Pool is set to open this Saturday and will offer a free swim in the afternoon. Opening day hours will be from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with the free public swim from 1 to 5 p.m. Music, snacks and games will be included with the festivities. Until school lets out on June 18, the pool will be open only on weekends. After that date, the pool will operate on its regular summer schedule, according to Scott Bonney, the pool manager. Discounted swim passes are available now until June 18 at the pool and include family passes for $300, a savings of $75 off the full price, and individual passes for $160, a savings of $40. Punch cards for 10 visits are $50, a savings of $10. Drop-in swim sessions are $6 per visit. The Vashon Pool, now in its fourth season of Vashon Park District ownership, is operating on a lean budget, Bonney said, and he is trying to keep expenses down and revenue up. To that end, he has trimmed sparsely attended times from the pool schedule. This year’s hours will be 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
on weekends and 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays. Bonney, who took a pay cut this year, became a certified aquatic facility operator over the winter, which should further help control costs, he said, as the pool will be less reliant on maintenance staff and he has learned more efficient ways of dealing with chlorine, requiring less of it. To keep revenue up, Bonney said he has contracted with two swim teams to practice there and has already signed rental agreements with several community groups. He is also reaching out in other ways to increase revenue, he said, including contacting bed and breakfasts about purchasing punch cards, which he believes guests would appreciate. “We like to think the pool is a really fun family place,” he said. The park district has allocated $25,000 to supplement pool operations this year, according to commissioner Lu-Ann Branch. “We’re working really hard to make that $25,000,” Bonney said. — Susan Riemer

An oil spill cleanup could harm our waters
Park District: Communicate with compassion, respect
Last October, the Washington Department of Ecology conducted an oil spill drill on the west side of Blake Island, just north of Vashon. The drill tested the ability of six area oil companies to mount a rapid, effective response. The usual boom, skimming vessels, aircraft and response boats appeared on the scene. Noticeably absent was a simulation for spraying dispersants on the water’s surface. Dispersants are industrial solvents designed to break apart the surface oil slick and “disperse” oil droplets into the water column. The chemically-dispersed oil does not go away. Dispersants simply disappear some of the oil off the ocean surface, making it impossible to clean up. Here there is some good news about dispersant use as dispersants have never been used in Washington state, according to Washington Department of Ecology’s Curt Hart. “Here in the Pacific Northwest, we know dispersants don’t get rid of oil,” he said. “ They just push it down into the water column.” But this doesn’t mean that dispersants would never be used in state waters as dispersants are included in the Northwest Area oil spill response contingency plan. Dispersant use has been controversial for more than four decades. The oil industry and the Coast Guard are staunch proponents, arguing that the “ecological risk tradeoff” of sacrificing life below the sea surface is worth saving seabirds and “amenity beaches” or those that tourists frequent. Fishermen, understandably, and many scientists do not favor dispersant use, pointing out that no studies have quantified the ecological risk tradeoff — what gained for what lost? Further, industry’s claim that dispersed oil is more accessible to oil-eating bacteria and, therefore, more quickly degraded was an unproven assumption. Following BP’s unprecedented use of more than two million gallons of Corexit dispersants after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, emerging evidence of extensive harm to sea life and humans sheds new light onto this controversy. From microscopic oil-eating
After months of challenges and difficult news from the Vashon Park District, the commissioners recently changed a policy, and now two men have the unenviable task of choosing between their jobs and their homes. At the heart of the matter, district officials say, is that these two men hold two district jobs each — a situation commissioners say that could create issues of liability, excessive overtime pay and disciplinary concerns. The men — Scott Provost and Eric Wyatt, park caretakers and full-time maintenance workers — have until the end of the year to make a decision and move ahead. Looking at the decision strictly as a matter of policy, we understand why the commissioners voted to set a new course. People charged with overseeing a park district should work to prevent the problems some commissioners foresaw as possibilities. At the meeting David Hackett, typically forthright, held back his opinions and seemed to try to buy the men and their families more time. In the end, three of the commissioners decided the transition should be completed in six months. Hackett abstained from the vote, later saying, “The human part of it overwhelmed me a little bit.” That reaction is completely appropriate. While smart policies are vitally important, human beings are vitally important as well, and we worry what ramifications this decision might have on the people most affected by them. Wyatt declined to talk about this situation, but Provost is clearly and understandably struggling with it. Given the high stakes for two of their employees, we wonder how thoroughly the commissioners considered all the options and the most basic of consequences. If, for example, Provost and his family choose to move their home, depending on the site, it could take a year for the proper permits, according to Greg Wessel, with the county’s Department of Permitting and Environmental Review. For a new caretaker at Paradise Ridge, Ameling said the district could advertise a spot of land for someone to put a home on. Perhaps just the right people will find this enticing — or perhaps not. When discussing the difficulty of the situation, Hackett noted that the board and staff all know each other. To us, it does not seem all park officials acted as though they do. Why did no one reach out to those whose homes and jobs are at stake, tell them of their concerns and attempt to find a solution that works all the way around? Sydney Luhr asked a sincere question: “How hard would it have been to have a conversation with Scott and me?” We think that is a good question and an important one. As this process moves forward, we hope commissioners will remember the value of human relationships and make every effort to work with those affected in a way that is compassionate, clear and respectful given their years of service to the district.
ENVIRONMENT By RIKI OTT bacteria, rotifers and coral, to shrimp, crabs and killifish, to sea turtles, dolphins, humans and more, scientists are reporting that Corexit plus oil is far more toxic to life than oil alone. Findings from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s “Unusual Mortality Event” study on dolphins and other cetaceans in the region most impacted by BP’s oil disaster are a tightly held secret. However, it is no secret that baby dolphins are dying at exceptionally high rates across this region. The Government Accountability Project (GAP), the nation’s leading whistleblower protection and advocacy organization, took testimonies and sworn affidavits from two dozen government contractors, spill response workers and coastal residents exposed to Corexit plus oil, as well as medical doctors who treated them. The accounts detail severe negative health and longterm health impacts, including that of Jorey Danos, son of Margaret Curole, who is in the documentary “Dirty Energy,” which screened recently at the Vashon Theatre. GAP’s recent report calls for a ban on toxic dispersants, among other things. People in Gulf Coast communities realized that Corexit plus oil was making them sick almost immediately and have consistently called for a ban on toxic dispersants since June 2010. Instead, the federal government now acknowledges a “human health risk tradeoff” (not quantified) with dispersant use. BP and other oil companies will continue to use Corexit and other toxic dispersants as long as the government permits doing so. Dispersants are permitted for use in federal waters under the national contingency plan. Washington is one state that has opted not to pre-approve disper-

sant use within state waters (from shore out to three miles) as part of the Northwest Area contingency plan. Instead, dispersant use would be considered on a case-bycase basis and likely only in the Straits of Juan de Fuca, according to Washington Department of Energy (WDOE) Spill Response Manager David Byers. Washington stockpiles 15,000 gallons of Corexit 9500 in Port Angeles and Everett. Corexit 9500 is one of the dispersants that was used in the Gulf of Mexico during the BP disaster response. Washington got rid of its stockpiles of Corexit 9527A, banned in Britain, by sending all of this product to the Gulf. Given the emerging science from the Gulf of Mexico, the WDOE is open to discussing its dispersant use policies with concerned citizens. People living on Vashon, in the Puget Sound region and along Washington’s coasts might want to heed the voices and stories from the Gulf Coast and reassess use of toxic dispersants, especially within state waters. A coalition of concerned citizens and scientists is coordinating efforts to ban Corexit dispersants and other toxic products in oil spill response in U.S. waters. Response efforts should not and need not be more harmful than the spilled oil. Banning these products will force the industry to prioritize mechanical containment and recovery of oil — or develop nontoxic products that actually do more good than harm. Even massive use of dispersants in the Gulf of Mexico did not prevent beaches or seabirds from getting oiled. It’s time to accept the truth: The oil industry has been using dispersants to hide oil rather than clean it up. — Riki Ott is a marine toxicologist, author, educator and part-time islander.
Riki Ott will give a talk on banning toxic dispersants from 7 to 8:30 p.m. tonight at Chautauqua Elementary School. She will provide information about the dispersants, laws that authorize their use, the Pacific Northwest Contingency Plan and opportunities for change.

Springtime happenings leave this dad little time for himself I need to cancel my column this week. Our family has been really busy with basketball, ballet, a bout of some sort of barfing flu, and the grass is growing again. A few weekends ago, our kids performed in the Blue Heron’s spring ballet, “Romeo and Juliet and Original Works.” More than 100 ballet students ages 3 to 18 danced in the three-hour show staged in the high school theater. After weeks of rehearsal, our dancers had evening performances Friday through Sunday, as well as matinees each afternoon. In the chaotic green room between shows, moms with hairpins clenched in their teeth brushed out tangled hairsprayed braids and painted pursed lips hussy red. Clutches of twittering gradeschool girls in pink or blue leotards and pink tights fluttered about. Boys in black tights and white shirts clustered around one kid slouched in a high-backed chair playing Plants versus Zombies on an iPad. Distracted parents handed off gym bags stuffed with tights, toe shoes and PB-and-J for their kids camping in the green room as if supporting riders in the Tour de France. Sometimes they tarried a few moments to shout in tight twos or threes with other ballet moms who’d volunteered to maintain order backstage. We stood around a Formica-topped schoolroom desk in the swirling cacophony cramming ham sandwiches and bagels
FAMILY LIFE By KEVIN POTTINGER and cream cheese in our mouths, watching ourselves chew in the giant mirror that runs the entire length of the south wall. Onstage, wide-eyed toddlers in pudgypink leotards frolicked like spring lambs on a brightly-lit set for hundreds of friends and neighbors, plump fingers propped on hips, curtseying modestly while giggling in ragged lines. More experienced dancers, lithe and graceful, seemingly floated on air in elaborate choreography as if formed from nothing but billowing silk and a breeze. One toddler forgot to run offstage after her bow and stood alone, shy and blinking in the hot lights, fingers entwined under her chin as the audience tittered. An older dancer ran out from the wings and yanked her offstage to spattering applause. Another reason I need to cancel my column this week is that last month our family spent an entire weekend in Yakima at a basketball tournament. Seven sixthgrade island athletes played five similar teams from across the state, in a pair of
gleaming-new grade-school gyms seemingly plopped pre-fab onto the hop fields on the outskirts of Yakima. I read in the local paper that our hotel was near the center of a recent prostitution abatement action. It was a comfort to learn that the neighborhood was really turning around now that the dope houses had been shut down for a couple of weeks. Relegated to sycophants in our eldest son’s entourage, my wife Maria and I dozed fitfully in the queen bed, trying not to think about who might have occupied
Distracted parents handed off gym bags stuffed with tights, toe shoes and PB-and-J for their kids camping in the green room as if supporting riders in the Tour de France. the bed before us. We shoe-horned three kids into the other queen, while our preening athlete, clearly not happy to be spending his free hours with his little brother and sisters, pointedly ignored us and made a gorilla nest on the carpet. Our prostitute-free hotel had a small indoor pool in a tile-lined room off of the lobby. In the afternoons, our team of sixth-graders floated aimlessly on blow-up pool toys like indolent rock stars, braying
The 2013 VHS Student Art Exhibition is winding down, but this amazing display of student work could not have happened without a great deal of support and hard work. First of all, the students deserve an enormous amount of kudos for generating the 74 pieces of high quality work. The framing couldn’t have happened without the generous financial support of Partners In Education and Vashon Artists in School, specifically Rose Belknap, Carrie Van Buren, Pam McMahon and Donna Kellum at Frame of Mind. It really was a team effort. The students and I are so grateful for all your hard work. Also, thanks to the Blue Heron Gallery and Janice Mallman for coordinating with us throughout the year and making the event a memorable experience. Terry Swift, VHS art teacher
Thank You from the Vashon-Maury Community Food Bank The VMCFB would like to thank every islander that helped us collect 5,178 pounds of food on May 11 during the Letter Carriers’ Food Drive. Special thanks to the Letter Carriers and Post Office staff, Lois Fox, Lori King, Dee Ann Williams, Cindy Simila, Marie Bradley, Reed Fitzpatrick, Joseph Stadnik, Lola Sherry, Marilyn Ripley, Blake Nobil and Susan Griffin; to the volunteers, Vicky de Monterey Richoux, Heather Russell, Margaret Dibb, Dean Andrews, Gabriel Blake, Bailey de Iongh, Andy Stocker, Oanh Meyers and her daughter, and Hawk and Kara Jones, who drove the mail routes and helped load and unload the
truck, and, last, but not least, to the community at large who so generously cleared their pantries for this event. A food drive of this magnitude significantly increases the sustainability of service at the VMCFB. Thanks again! Yvonne Pitrof, Vashon-Maury Communit y Food Bank
VIPP Dogs and Cats grateful to Thriftway In April, Thriftway donated a massive amount of cat and dog food to Vashon Island Pet Protectors as a result of an inventory change. The value of the donation was well over $1,000. Thank you Thriftway from all the cats and dogs at VIPP! Geoff and Terri Fletcher, Vashon Island Pet Protectors

vulgarities at one another. Their echoed shouts blurred into a single howl like halfa-dozen blue heelers tracking an escaped convict up an office-building stairwell. When I was in sixth grade, we idly shot baskets during recess with a red rubber kickball. Some of my sporty friends turned out for youth basketball and were regularly creamed by the CAYA teams, who had spiffy orange uniforms, menacing cheerleaders who could mess you up, and ran actual plays. At this tournament, the skill level of the teams was remarkably high. Some of those kids played like scale-model Globetrotters. Another reason I need to cancel my column this week is that our front lawn was nearly two feet high before I spent a lonely, brooding, Captain-Ahab-style weekend hacking it flat using a lunging, butterfly-stroke technique with a battered lawnmower. The motor hangs by a single bolt; it starts after exactly five strong pulls, or not at all when the sun is shining. We planned a trip to town to shop for a new mower, but our oldest son developed infectious gastroenteritis, then we discovered that three kids had head lice. Again. So we cancelled that too. Thanks for your patience. We’re all really sorry.

Q:
I know we have rats here in the Northwest and most homes have at least a few, especially under the house. We’ve been keeping them down with rat poison in those little containers so that our dog can’t get at it. Now our neighbor is claiming we poisoned her cat because he ate one of the dying rats. I know this isn’t exactly real estate related but since you sold us our house I thought I’d find out what you think.
A:
It’s very possible that the neighbor’s cat died from eating a rat that was dying from poisoning. Poison is not a humane way to kill rats in the first place. They die a slow and painful death. As they become disabled from the poison and unable to move fast, they become an easy target for dogs, cats, eagles, owls, hawks and other raptors. The poison is ingested by the predator animal and can sicken or even kill them. I recommend traps. This is more humane and the rat’s not walking around for days as it is dying or crawling into your walls or under you house to die. If you’ve had that happen you know the smell will drive you out of your home. There are many kinds of traps. The old fashioned metal traps work fine but can kill squirrels, chipmunks and harm curious dogs. Try the newer heavy plastic traps that are easier to handle and not as attractive to other animals. Even better are those traps that electrocute the rodents. They are fast, humane and effective. The best way to take care of this problem is to stop attracting rodents in the first place. Don’t leave pet food or garbage out where it attracts them and be sure your basement or crawl space has no small holes where rats can enter. All of that also protects you against raccoons and other animals that are out looking for a handout or a comfy place to have babies. NOTE: This isn’t a fun topic but it’s one that people keep asking about over and over again.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Protesters
Demonstrators don’t get it To the men manning a vulgar “Impeach Obama” stand in front of our post office on Friday, May 10: Besides the fact that you are abusing your First Amendment rights by your defamatory portrayal of the president of the United States as Hitler, it is obvious that you have no knowledge of the process of impeachment. You apparently believe that if, in your opinion, an elected official isn’t doing a “good job,” it is your right to start impeachment proceeding and remove him from office. If this were the case, very few presidents would ever complete their terms. In actuality, only the House Judiciary Committee can decide whether or not to proceed with an impeachment, and only if that person is suspected of having committed a crime. Furthermore, impeachment is merely an indictment, not a conviction. Below is your first lesson regarding impeachment: “Only four times in our history has Congress held serious discussions of impeachment: Andrew Johnson was actually impeached when Congress became unhappy with the way he was dealing with some post-Civil War matters. Johnson was acquitted in the Senate by one vote and remained in office. Congress introduced a resolution to impeach John Tyler over state’s rights issues, but the resolution failed. Congress was debating his impeachment over the Watergate break-in when President Richard Nixon resigned. William J. Clinton was impeached by the House on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice in relationship to his affair with White House intern Monica

Lewinsky. Clinton was eventually acquitted by the Senate.” (usgovinfo.about.com/od/ thepresidentandcabinet/a/impeachment.htm) Maybe next time I’ll give you a lesson in Social Security, but in the meantime, even if Social Security survives that long, you two will probably not earn enough in your lifetime to be eligible if you continue to waste your time standing on street corners expounding on nothing. — Laura Cottrell
Bank closure
Bank of America should look at more than the bottom line Earlier this week, I wrote to Bank of America CEO Bryon Moynihan to express my dismay at the bank’s plan to close its Vashon branch due to “a decline in the number of customers who do their banking in-person.” While technology has provided a variety of new options for the way we do business, it doesn’t negate the fact that a physical presence continues to be important, particularly on an island where access to a safe deposit box, or the ability to work one-on-one with real people, matters. The long-term, helpful staff at B of A’s Vashon branch now face unemployment and difficult times. Ours is a strong community with active voices and significant resources. As mentioned in my letter to Mr. Moynihan, I believe many of us who oppose the branch’s closure will most certainly transfer their funds to other on-island institutions, such as Chase, US Bank or the Puget Sound Cooperative Credit Union. Having been a Bank of America customer for more than 30 years, I am prepared to close my accounts and hope you’ll join me by sending a clear message that we Vashonites

Health center
Catholic beliefs misunderstood Islanders are justified in expressing their concern about the recent health care merger. They are entitled to their opinions about Catholicism, and the Franciscans ought to be able to give satisfactory answers about what “Catholic health care” means. Unfortunately, a majority of people misunderstand Catholic beliefs. In order to understand the principles that guide Catholic moral theology and how they would affect health care services on the island, one must have ears to hear what Catholics actually believe. Judging by the focus of the questions fielded by Highline’s representatives, most people have heard that Catholics are against abortion, artificial birth control, sterilization and assisted suicide. Have they also heard that abortion is defined as the direct and intentional termination of a viable pregnancy? The issue of how a Catholic physician might, in good conscience, treat an ectopic pregnancy can only be comprehended when the listener understands that the life of the mother and the child are held equally valuable in Catholic moral theology. Most ectopic pregnancies are not viable. By the time they are discovered, the child is usually already deceased. If the child is still alive, and the mother’s life is threatened by internal hemorrhaging, then the mother’s hemorrhage can be treated, and in the process of treating the hemorrhage, the life of the child would be sacrificed unintentionally and indirectly as an effect of treating the mother. So, the recent analogy about a health care helicopter not picking up everyone

who needs it shows a very shallow understanding of Catholic moral theology. The Catholic bishops have made it clear that hospital services should be extended to everyone, including those in the womb and the elderly. However, the baby and the old lady will not be thrown out of the helicopter so that someone less vulnerable can have a more comfortable ride. Thanks for providing a community forum for sharing ideas and differing world views. — Kelly Daly
Crime
Theft from island nonprofits is disheartening It is very disheartening when one is the victim of theft, and the recent break-in at Pandora’s Box has left us here at Ferret Shelter Northwest supremely disappointed. Very little was taken because they leave no cash in the register at night, and money was apparently what the burglar sought. What was taken, however, was the small amount of cash in both the shelter’s small donation box and Vashon Island Pet Protector’s acrylic donation container. Aside from the loss of the cash, the boxes were smashed beyond use. Unfortunately, they are inordinately expensive, likely worth more than the cash inside them. VIPP and ourselves do our best to care for unwanted animals here on Vashon, and every penny counts. The heartlessness of such a theft is more disappointing than the theft itself. I hope the perpetrator(s) can find some help. I expect there was some desperation involved, which often involves a drug problem. There are resources for such help, and I hope this person (or persons) can get it together enough to rehabilitate their lives before it ends very badly for them. — Michael FitzPatrick, Director of Ferret Shelter Northwest

Forty-seven hearty souls braved the chilly waters of Quartermaster Harbor on Mother’s Day for the Chicken Plunge, a fundraiser for the Vashon Senior Center. The invigorating event, where participants paid to dunk in the sound and earned T-shirts for doing so, raised $2,150 for general operating expenses. The center runs on a small budget and needed to raise about $10,000 just to keep the doors open this year. The success of the Chicken Plunge is a boost to those fundraising efforts, center director Ava Apple said.

slanders can celebrate a festive day in Romani Gypsy culture on Friday, when acclaimed Vancouver, B.C.-based violinist and bandleader Lache Cercel brings his Roma Swing Ensemble to play a concert here.
Lache Cercel’s show starts at 7:30 p.m. Friday, at the Vashon Maury Grange, at 10365 S.W. Cowan Rd. near the upper section of the north end ferry parking lot. Tickets to the show, $15 and $20, are on sale at the Vashon Bookshop and www.brownpapertickets. org/event/379643. For more information about Lolo Diklo, visit the group’s Facebook page.

Lache Cercel will bring his Roma Swing Ensemble to Vashon on Friday. Each May 24, Roma from around the world make a pilgrimage to an ancient church in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, in the south of France, to venerate a black statue of Sara that is kept in a crypt. It’s a time of joyful celebration and intense musicmaking — an atmosphere Ahern hopes to duplicate at the concert on Vashon. Cercel, a master of Romanian style violin, was born in Romania and trained as a classical musician there. In 1998, he emigrated to Canada, where he began to work as a session musician, solo performer and composer of film and television music. He also quickly forged collaborations with musicians from a diverse range of backgrounds, including jazz, Middle Eastern and Latin music. With his band, The Roma Swing Ensemble, he plays music rooted in Romani tradition, styled with Doina Klezmer, Middle Eastern and European sounds and held together with jazz improvisation.
“To say that Lache Cercel … is a classically trained violinist from Romania would be like saying that Eric Clapton can play the guitar,” reads a testimonial to Cecel on the website Rogue Folk Club. “He is an enormously gifted musician, equally at home with the classics, jazz or Gypsy music. “A devotee of Stephane Grappelli and of Yehudi Menuhin, Lache can bring ‘serious’ music down to earth, and make Gypsy jazz soar into the highest echelons.” Cercel’s ensemble includes his own virtuoso violin, guitar, bass, accordion and percussion. Ahern, for her part, hopes that islanders will turn out in droves to hear the music — the latest concert in what she hopes will be an ongoing series. “It takes a lot of energy, and I always think I’m never going to do it again, and then the night of the show is such a rush I can’t wait to do it again,” she said. “I’m kind of addicted to it now.”
A program that brings artists to schools gets a big grant Vashon Artists in the Schools (VAIS), a program of Vashon Allied Arts, has won a $10,000 Art Works grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The funding will go toward its programs planned for the next school year. VAIS is a partnership program between VAA and the Vashon Island School District, connecting artists with K-12 teachers and students in curriculum-based residency projects. Each year, VAIS coordinates between 18 and 25 artistteacher residencies and mentor-
Fly the coop with a local band A merry band of local musicians called Poultry in Motion will host a free night of music, celebrating Bob Dylan’s birthday at 8:30 p.m. Friday at the Red Bicycle Bistro. The group, made up of Steve Amsden, Gib Dammann, Bob Kueker, Dave Lang, Wilson Abbott and Chris Anderson, will bring a lively mix of guitar, accordion, fiddle, mandolin, dobro, drums and more to their set list of country, Cajun and rock music. Special guests have also been invited to sit in with the band. It’s an all-ages show until 11 p.m. and for ages 21 and older after that.

The show, presented by the island organization Lolo Diklo: Romani Against Racism, will also feature music by The Entertainers, a Seattle band of Romani brothers, playing traditional guitar melodies and songs. Lolo Diklo founder Morgan Ahern, who is presenting the concert, said she is excited to bring such renowned players to Vashon on a day that is freighted with meaning for her people worldwide — the festival day of the patron saint and goddess figure of the Roma, Kali Sara. “Lache Cercel is so very popular that it is hard to get him, but he was eager to do this show because it is the day of the festival,” Ahern said. “She is his saint.” There are many legends and stories surrounding the figure of Sara, but the one that is most most widely believed by Roma is that she was a Gypsy woman who saved Mary Magdalene and her sisters when they washed up on the shores of southern France after fleeing persecution in the Holy Land. Sara is also linked in mythology and name to the Hindu goddess Kali — an obvious tie to the complex and often heartbreaking story that began almost 1,000 years ago, when the Romani people began to migrate to Europe from India, facing discrimination and persecution wherever they moved.

ships, serving more than 1,000 students. Each project provides 10 to 40 hours of student classroom time with an artist, to ensure that the learning is deep. Artists hired by the program work alongside teachers to integrate arts into the curriculum and to share their skills and creativity directly with students. At the same time, the artists also mentor teachers to build knowledge and explore new teaching strategies. “We care about how our schools reflect our community’s values, and exposure to the joy and rigor of artistic
expression is a Vashon value,” said Pamela McMahan, VAIS program coordinator. The NEA’s Art Works grants are awarded to nonprofit national, regional, state and local organizations to support exemplary projects in 13 artistic disciplines and fields. The grant to VAIS was one of only seven such grants in the discipline of arts education that was awarded in Washington.

Pete Welch, who coordinates music for the Strawberry Festival, Red Bicycle Bistro and Nirvana, helped Folklife put the show together. “We’re hoping that the music of Vashon will be well received so that we can build on this opportunity and bring even more music in the years to come,” Welch said. Gregg Curry’s songs blend folk, country, rock, soul, blues, bluegrass and gospel to explore the roots of American music. Cami Lundeen is a singer and songwriter with a sultry style.

GiveBIG earners list with large regional organizations such as the The Seattle Public Library Foundation and Northwest Harvest. “I’m still surprised, especially when you look at who else is on that list. … We’re in big company,” Macomber said. Despite the successful day, the foundation’s total still stands at about $250,000. The total is far from where it needs to be, Macomber said, largely because significant donations haven’t been rolling in as they have in past years.
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
Several major donors who have sustained the foundation through previous campaigns simply haven’t been able to give this time, something Macomber said was understandable — several of them, for instance, are now sending children to college — but hurts the nonprofit’s bottom line. About $140,000 that normally comes from big givers is missing this time. “That’s the nature of the beast,” Macomber said. “We have people who … have been incredibly generous, but now they need to pay for college.” While volunteers would love to raise around $450,000 as they have the past few years, she said, they need to bring in at
least $350,000 by the end of the month to avoid cuts to district programs. Should $100,000 more not come in, the district likely would not fill several of its open teaching positions, said Superintendent Michael Soltman, resulting increased class sizes at the elementary level and fewer elective options at the high school. “We’d have to go back to more core classes and fewer elective options,” he said. “We’d reduce the AP program; I’d hoped to expand it.” On the heels of news that the foundation had fallen short last week, two school district families offered up matching donations for any funds that
Page 13
come in over the next several weeks. Soltman said the families, who asked to remain anonymous, are prepared to match 20 percent of what the foundation brings in, up to $20,000. “If people need an incentive, we had GiveBIG, and now we have GiveBIG two,” Macomber said with a chuckle. “These guys are realizing they need to step up and keep it going,” she added. “To me, that is extremely generous.” Both Macomber and Soltman said it’s clear now, more than ever, that the the foundation needs to develop a wide base of families that donate, rather than relying on a small
number of large donors. As the foundation works to move away from a campaign based on a funding crisis and promote one based on school district sustainability, it’s still asking that all school district families consider giving one dollar per student per day, or any amount they can. “Committing to 10 or 20 or 30 dollars a month makes a huge difference,” Soltman said. Macomber said she was anxious but confident that the community would come through in the end. “This year I think we’ll just keep going till the last minute,” she said. “If everyone pitches in, we’re set.”

Track stars shine at Tri-District meet By MADDI GROEN For The Beachcomber
The Pirate track and field team took seven athletes to the Tri-District championships on Thursday, May 16 and 18, where several athletes placed in events and three qualified for State. On the first day of the meet, junior Philip VanDevanter threw a personal best in the javelin with a distance of 133 feet, 4 inches. Senior Olin Nespor also broke his personal record in the 800-meter preliminary round, finishing with a time of 2:09:58. The boys’ relay team of Landon Summers, Giacomo Paganoni, Olin Nespor and Garrett Starr placed ninth in the 4x400-meter preliminary race. Competing in the long and triple jump, senior Samantha Clements participated in her fourth Tri-District meet. She jumped 30 feet, 1 inch, for the triple jump and 14 feet, 9 inches,
for the long jump. Junior Garrett Starr placed fifth in the triple jump with a mark of 40 feet, 5 inches. Freshman Annika Hille placed fourth in the long jump with a personal record of 16 feet, 1 inch, and placed sixth in the triple jump with a mark of 32 feet, 11 inches. Hille also ran fantastic 100-meter and 200-meter races. Both Starr and Hille will compete in the state championships this weekend in Cheney, Starr in the triple jump, Hille in the long and triple jump. Hille just missing qualifying for the 200-meter dash by .04 seconds. “I think State will be a blast,� Hille said. “People always tell me: ‘Don’t worry about it. You’re just a freshman, you have time.’ But I don’t see it that way. I put a lot of pressure on myself, so making it to State is super satisfying.� Senior Landon Summers blew away the competition at the Nisqually League meet a week
prior to districts. At the district meet, however, he had more pressure and more more competition. Despite this, he left with the title of Tri-District Champion in the 110meter hurdles with a time of 15.91. He also battled it out in the 300meter hurdles and finished in third place with a time of 42.11 seconds. Summers will compete in the state championship meet in both events, joining Starr and Hille. Vashon had many successes at the district meet, and not all the Vashon-native athletes were representing VHS. Graham Peet, a sophomore at The Northwest School, finished ninth in the 1600-meter race. Freshman Abigail Kim, who attends Seattle Christian, finished first in the long jump, 100-meter and 200meter dashes. —Maddi Groen is a junior at Vashon High School and a cocaptain of the track and field team.

The Vashon Pirate baseball team traveled to Castle Rock to take on Woodland High School in the opening round of the state 1A baseball tournament on May 18. Woodland came into the tournament red hot, having won 11 straight games and having just defeated previously unbeaten and top-ranked Montesano. Woodland opened the scoring with two quick runs in the first inning, taking a 2-0 lead. Neither team scored in the second, but Woodland took apparent command of the game in the third with six runs. The big blast of the inning came off the bat of senior Bryce McQuivey, who capped off the scoring with a two-out grand slam, putting the Pirates into an 8-0 hole. Some observers may have thought that the game was all but over, but Vashon was having none of it. The Pirates immediately answered with five runs of their own in the fourth to narrow the gap to 8-5. Woodland scored single runs in the fourth and fifth, increasing their lead to 10-5 after five innings. Vashon loaded the bases in the sixth but was only able to push across one run, narrowing the lead to 10-6, which ended up being the final score. In spite of a valiant effort, the team was unable to erase the early deficit. Josh Myer took the hill for the Pirates and pitched the first four innings. Kelly Sullivan came on in the fifth and threw the final two frames. The duo combined to allow 11 hits and six walks along with six strikeouts. All 10 runs were earned. Offensively, Vashon was led byÂ
Sam Schoenberg, Clyde Pruett and Myer, who all went two for four in the game. One of Schoenberg’s hits was a double in the third inning. Myer had two RBIs as well. Ezra Lacina, Ben Reoux, Ryan Bernheisel and Logan Hawkins each added a hit to give the Pirates 10 for the afternoon. The Vashon defense again played very well, committing only one error. Line score: Woodland 10 runs, 11 hits, 2 errors, Vashon 6 runs, 10 hits, 1 error. The loss ends the 2013 season, but the Pirates had a very successful year. The team finished third in the Nisqually League with a 10-6 record, and they advanced through district play and into the regionals of the state tournament. “I couldn’t be more proud of the boys’ effort,� said coach Steve Hall. We were down big early but they really hung together, fought their way back into the game and left it all out on the field. You can’t ask for any more than that as a coach.� He added that winning five straight games, including playoff wins against Friday Harbor and Meridian to send the team to State showed the pride and determination the players developed as a team this year. “They overcame early season adversity and a poor start to exceed everyone’s expectations with all the big wins and this trip to State,� he said. He also acknowledged his coaching staff and parents, saying “We couldn’t have done it without the parents who supported us this year.� —Rita Allman does web and team support for the Pirates.

Vashon Island Rowing Club coach Richard Parr has kept the junior rowers’ focus this spring on the District Championships that took place last weekend weekend, and their hard work paid off when the club qualified a record number for Nationals. “I was so impressed by the commitment shown by the rowers throughout the season, and it paid off on race day,” Parr said. “Really brave efforts all around, and it was great to see so many of our athletes performing so well under pressure.” One part high-octane athletic contest and another part beach party, the competition is held each year on Lake Vancouver, a shallow avian sanctuary a short distance from the Columbia River. The ospreys, eagles, herons and egrets didn’t know what to make of the dueling musical tributes between the 20 clubs and 1,400 rowers represented. But after a spring of regattas,
the juniors from different clubs have gained mutual respect and friendship contributing to an extraordinary aura of teamwork, camaraderie and sportsmanship. The Vashon Junior Crew statistics were extraordinary: 44 races entered with 37 topthree finishes. The club earned 18 first, 11 second and eight third-place awards. Fifteen rowers and one coxswain are heading to USRowing Youth National Championships on Lake Melton outside Oak Ridge, Tenn., the second weekend in June to compete in eight separate events. Both the number of rowers and events are club records. And on a team basis, the Vashon junior women placed fourth at the regatta and the men fifth. At the start of the regatta on Friday morning, an articulate and energetic announcer spelled out the basics for rowing initiates. There are sculling events (two oars per rower — singles, doubles and quads) and sweep events (a single, larger oar per rower with pair, four and eight configurations). Novice rowers have less than a year’s experience. Fours and eights always have coxswains to steer the shell. Vashon junior crew is one of the smaller clubs and does not
compete in the competitive eight category. Vashon’s Nationals-bound crew members include Kalie Heffernan and Kirsten Girard, who took gold in the women’s double and were also joined by Anna Ripley and Hannah Russell in the women’s quad, placing third. Katelyn Carter and Shannon Lipe took silver in the women’s lightweight double and then were joined by two novices — eighth-grade stroke Emily Milbrath and Leanne Anderson — and coxswain Ally Clevenger to take another silver in the women’s lightweight four. Gus Magnuson and Tate Gill also medaled in two Nationals-qualifying races, taking a bronze in the men’s double and a silver in the men’s quad, where they were joined by Jacob Plihal and Isaiah MosserRohe. Nathaniel Petram and Baxter Call took silver in the lightweight men’s double, and the National-bound team was completed with Anne Gaspers taking a bronze in the women’s single. First-place finishers in finals that didn’t qualify for Nationals were Ella McConnell and Kai Li Scheer in the women’s third
varsity double, Tea Schafer and Leanne Anderson in the women’s novice double, Lorenzo Higuera and Forrest Miller in the men’s novice double, Alexander Wright and Liam McConnell in the men’s third varsity double, Julian Baca and Ethan Rumberg in the men’s third varsity double and Nathaniel Petram and Baxter Call in the men’s second varsity double. In an unusual finish, the women’s high school eight tied for first with Holy Names Academy. The Nationals venue is the other side of the county for one more year, and then will move to Sacramento for a three-year period. Club members hope islanders will have dirty cars in waiting, as the team will be training hard and doing a car wash on Saturday, June 1, to offset the cost of renting equipment back east. For those interested in witnessing some on-island rowing excitement, the firstannual Vashon rowing drag race will be held on Quartermaster Harbor Sunday June 2, with races beginning at 8 a.m. This event will feature head-to-head 500-meter sprints of singles rowers with single elimination. — Pat Call is a recreational rower and father of two junior rowers.

presented in its 350-seat sanctuary. Randall said she’s excited to expand those arts programs, as well as work on social justice issues championed by the progressive church. “I’m ready to move on to new challenges, looking forward to a bigger pond,” she said. At the same time, though, the career move seems to have provided Randall with a chance to look back and gain a perspective on her VAA years that wasn’t possible while they were going on — she was just too busy. Randall — a petite woman with corkscrew blond curls who always appeared meticulously coiffed and dressed at VAA events, even if the event was an afternoon children’s concert — moved to Vashon from northern California in 1993. By 1994, she’d been hired by VAA’s then-director Will Furth for a 20-hour-a-week gig as publicist for VAA. It was a great job for her
Stitchin’ for a Kitchen fundraiser on May 4, 2013 was a success due in part to many people and businesses.

Commercial sponsors Cascade Yarns and Twin Birch Products donated items for the fundraiser. This whole event was the brainchild of an incredibly creative, generous and hard working group of women called the LOAFers (Ladies of the Afghan Fundraiser). I want to personally thank Myra Willingham, Lois Yunker, Susan Commeree, Tori Beck, Joanne Hennessey, Edna Dam and Nancy Kappelman for all that you did to make this a success! Thank you to this wonderfully generous, supportive Vashon community who made donations to this cause. Because of all of you we reached our fundraising goal and will have the funds to replace the Senior Center’s stove and dishwasher!

at the time, Randall said, noting that her son Alex was a toddler then and she was able to bring him to work with her. But soon, like little Alex, the job began to grow. In 1997, her role expanded as she added the title of director of performing arts to her job description. With that switch, she became responsible for not only publicizing events, but also conceptualizing and booking a busy year-round calendar of concerts, plays, dance recitals and more. It was a perfect fit, Randall said, for her all-encompassing interest in the arts. “I love theater, music, literary arts,” she said. “I’ve always sought out independent artists in my life, so it was a thrill to bring people into our community and uncover the talent on this island.” Some of her favorite VAA events, she said, were its world music festivals at Camp Burton and its Arts & Humanities lecture series. Welcoming audiences to watch VAA students dance, act and sing at VAA was another favorite part of her job. “Standing up on that stage and introducing some of our youth productions, and watching generations grow as human beings and performers, to be a part of that was great,” she said. Randall’s tirelessness at her job was especially

visible when she strapped on roller skates each year to lead VAA’s contingent in the Strawberry Festival parade — and a depiction of her doing just that wound up stitched on the back of VAA’s 2000 benefit quilt, which was raffled off at the festival. By luck, Randall’s husand Matthew Mosteller held the winning ticket for the quilt that year, and it now hangs in her living room. Randall’s personal life became entwined with her work at VAA in other ways, too, as Mosteller and their blended family all took part in VAA’s programs. All three children in the family — Randall’s son Alex, as well as Mosteller’s daughters, Haley and Brianna, participatated in camps and classses at VAA. Her in-laws, she said, had supporoted VAA long before she arrived — her fatherin-law helped maintain the Blue Heron building, and her mother-in-law created flower arrangements for the gallery. The job also fed Randall’s creative impulses, and throughout her tenure she also attended to her own muses, writing fiction, poetry and prose, creating fiber art and appearing in stage productions in her off-hours. Randall stayed with the organization through good times and bad.
Nine years ago, Randall battled a life-threatening form of cancer. She got her diagnosis, she said, on the day of VAA’s 2004 art auction, and she returned home that evening to work at the event, parading through the crowd holding up paintings. She added that throughout her treatment, her colleagues, including VAA’s director at the time, Jason Everett, provided her with deep support. “I will always be grateful for the support Jason and the board and staff showed to me and my family,” she said, followed by a long pause. “It still brings me to tears when I think about it. The whole arts community was wonderful, and I’ll forever be indebted to everyone for their care and concern. I will never forget that.” Nor is it likely that anyone at VAA will soon forget Randall, her contributions to the community or her dedication to her work. “She made an impossible job possible,” said Molly Reed, VAA’s current executive director. “I’ve never known anyone as successful at multi-tasking as that woman. She was fast, and she was good.” Jason Everett, who worked with Randall for many years, put it another way. “She was an artist in her job,” he said.

because he would have been open to giving both men a longer time frame — and that he was concerned that if Provost chooses to keep his job, six months will not be enough to move his home. He added that if Provost and his family move, should they need more time to obtain the proper permits, he would be willing to revisit the issue with the board and consider an extension. “I have sympathy for what this puts the family through,” he said. In the days following the meeting, Provost and Luhr said they were unhappy about the decision, especially in light of their long history with the agency. Several years ago when the district was looking for new caretakers, then director Wendy Braicks approached them about becoming the caretakers — precisely because Provost was an employee, he said. Additionally, Luhr was often home during the day, could provide a presence at the park and, after growing up on Vashon, has deep roots in the horse community. After negotiations, Provost said, they bought their home, and the park district put in $21,000 to clean up the site and put in a foundation and a septic system. Over the years, he said, the contract often lapsed, but when Braicks was the director, it was understood it would be continued. Still, Provost said, they knew that living there “was not a forever thing.” And, in fact, he said, this issue has come up before. When it happened several years ago, Provost and Luhr both say that Ameling told them they would be grandfathered in. At the last meeting, Ameling vehemently denied telling them that. Regardless, the board has voted, Provost said, and he must choose between his

both situations should not continue for legal, practical and business reasons. Because the men work in full-time maintenance positions, to fully adhere to state wage and labor laws and avoid the risk of a law suit, district officials say the men should be compensated at time and a half for their caretaking duties. General Manager Elaine Ott said there have also been concerns about difficulties handling employee discipline. If there were a problem in one job, she said, it might make it difficult to deal with it because of the individual’s other role. At its April 23 board meeting, Ott offered a solution to the wages issue: The district could charge the men rent and set their work and compensation to equal that amount. But commissioner Bill Ameling couched the issue in economic terms at last week’s meeting. If caretakers are to be paid time and a half, he said, the district would be Natalie Johnson/Staff Photo paying them $30 an hour for their duties.

home and what he called his “dream job.� “This is what I what I went to school for — Aboriculture, Urban Forestry and Park Management,� he said. “I have been here for 17 years, and all of a sudden — this.� Provost said he understands the dollars and sense of the decision, but it feels personal. “Obviously, they do not want me, but I do not know why,� he said. What’s more, Luhr and Provost said the lack of communication on the issue has stung. Prior to the meeting when the topic was discussed last month, no one contacted them to let them know, Provost said. Nor have any of the commissioners talked about the issue and what might work for them so that no one “got backed into a corner,� Luhr said. “How hard would it have been to have had a conversation with Scott and me?� she said. The caretaker position, Luhr noted, is not simply a matter of opening and clos-
ing gates and picking up trash, as Ameling characterized it at the meeting. There is a lot to be learned about living at a park and living in a horse park, in particular, she said. And sometimes people get hurt. Provost said repairs are endless and he and his wife have helped with a number of injured equestrians at the park. Once, Luhr said, she watched as Provost and Wyatt intervened after a horse accident. Provost grabbed the spirited horse, and Wyatt quietly tended to the woman. “They just care,� she said. “Why wouldn’t you try as hard as you could to keep this level of service up?� Wubbold, concerned about the situation at Point Robinson, said he will continue to push for a reversal of the new policy, noting that several new people are running for the park board with an election in November. “There are many turns of the propeller between now and the first of January,� he said.

invited to attend an event to help her celebrate at 6 p.m. Saturday, May 25, at Snapdragon. Keating is the woman in the purple flowing rain coat that one sees marching resolutely around town and who doesn’t know a stranger. Keating, with her husband David and their daughter Pat, arrived on Vashon about 1976. She enjoys sitting on the bench in front of Vashon Bookshop and seeing who shows up or inside on “the chair� reading, resting and greeting. “People come up to me and they just introduce themselves to me. I feel that everywhere I go, I am interested in who I’m with, and I care about them, and that helps me. It helps me to think of others,� she said.
DONATE Islander seeks funds for clothing line Former Islander Cassie Bergman created CJB Apparel two years ago. Ever since then, she has been designing clothing that she says appeals to a young demographic whose focus is to have fun and be edgy. After living on Vashon among a thriving commu-
nity of artists and creators, Bergman knew from an early age that she wanted to join the creative world. Since she was 11, she has been a photographer, following in the footsteps of her father, Harvey Bergman. Two years ago, she realized her dream of bringing these passions together in the form of an apparel line: Create Joy & Beauty. Inspired by what is captured through the lens of her camera, CJB designs are fresh, unique and an authentic expression of youth, Bergman said. Currently, Bergman is looking to expand her clothing line and until the end of the month is holding a fundraising campaign through Indiegogo.com and hopes to raise $10,000 to fund a cross country tour for CJB Apparel this summer. The money will go to vending, transportation and inventory fees. This tour will consist of a road trip to several states to vend at music festivals, Bergman said. She has booked a handful of shows, such as Paradiso at the Gorge, Hemp Fest in Seattle and, naturally, the Strawberry Festival. For more information or to donate, see www.indiegogo.com/projects/cjbapparel-the-national-tour.

Born 2011, my name is BUFFY, I’m a loving cat that loves to play. I love to cuddle but I’m still young so sometimes I won’t let you catch me! Since I was a kitten, I’ve been an inside cat but I would love the freedom to roam about in a big yard. I sit in the window most of the day longing to get out, and I try to sneak out whenever the door is open. I would love someone warm and kind who loves to hang out but also give me my space when I need it, so if that’s you and you also have a nice big yard with plenty of room for me to explore then I’m just the one for you!! Born about 2003, MISS KITTY is a long-time resident and deserves a home. Miss Kitty had to get the heck outta Dodge when her owner moved to the desert in Arizona. Miss Kitty is at VIPP waiting for her new gig. Miss Kitty always sports her makeup and her spectacular outfit just so. She loves to be brushed. She is retired from her saloon keeping days and she is looking for a great home to snuggle up on a lap. Date of entry to VIPP 3/25/11.
Gracie is a tall Rat Terrier mix. She is young, lively and sweet. She has gotten along well with all sized dogs she encounters. She is the perfect sized dog for all you Vashonistas who live in small cabins!� I also say she gets along with cats and children. She will make a great companion dog for someone who can give her a lot of love and attention. There is a $125.00 adoption fee. To meet Gracie, email dogs@vipp.org.
