Park district gains extension as it makes headway on fields Some still criticize project management, mounting costs By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
The Vashon Park District is nearing a significant milestone with its athletic fields project north of town, as work that a state funding agency required is expected to be completed soon and will close a chapter in the long-running project. The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) awarded two significant grants to the district more than four years ago for the construction of an athletic fields complex by The Harbor School, and this spring, after the district asked for more time to complete some of the work required for the grant money, RCO officials expressed reservations about extending their June 30 deadline. However, the RCO board approved the extension without discussion last week, according to Laura Moxham, a grants manager with the state program. “We would like to see a viable recreational unit,” Moxham said. “That is the ultimate goal.” Considerable work has taken place at the fields in recent months, thanks in part to an extensive volunteer effort, said Mike Mattingly, the site supervisor. Community volunteers, many from island sports teams, have provided more than 1,200 volunteer hours at the project since this spring, according to Elaine Ott, the district’s general manager. Now some teams are playing on the fields, and other kids are gathering there to play on their own. The project — newly marked with a VES Fields sign — has been a controversial one, with many islanders saying they understand the need for more fields but are disturbed about the cost of the project and the way the district has managed it. When the district kicked off SEE FIELDS, 16
Campers escape worries, reel in fun on Vashon Popular camp for cancer patients, siblings won’t be funded next year Last Friday morning a quiet pond tucked in the woods behind Vashon Sportsmen’s Club came to life with chattering kids. A mix of children and teens from Camp Goodtimes, some of them were currently battling cancer, others recovering from the disease and others were siblings of those affected by it. But at the pond that day, their main focus was reeling in a rainbow trout. “The whole thing is to have a week of fun away from any issues they have,” said Larry Goldberg, a camp volunteer. Camp Goodtimes, which was first held at Camp Sealth 30 years ago and is now based at Camp Burton, draws nearly 200 kids for two free weeklong camps each year. In the past campers have gone fishing at Tramp Harbor, but officials say this is the first summer they’ve fished at the Sportsmen’s Club’s pond. Volunteers who circled the large pond to help kids bait their lines and learn to cast noted
that the spot is cooler, safer and more pleasant. “The longer we’re here, the more connections we make with the community,” said camp director Gus Peterson. Scenes such as this, however, may not play out on Vashon next year. Peterson said the American Cancer Society (ACS) recently announced it will restructure how it allocates its funding, dedicating more money to cancer research and pulling sponsorship of Camp Goodtimes and other similar camps across the country. Peterson said a group of camp volunteers and parents was already looking at how it might keep the camp going, possibly establishing a new nonprofit to sponsor it. Doing so, however, would take some serious fundraising, he said. Each year the ACS gives about $1,200 per camper. Still, Peterson said, he was hopeful this summer wouldn’t be Camp Goodtimes’ last. “No one wants to see that happen,” he said. “You should never underestimate the power of feeling not alone in this world and what that does.” Photo and Story by Natalie Johnson
Police don’t plan to stop noisy annual race By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer

Evan Mattingly circles Vashon during last year’s hydroplane race.
Despite a flood of complaints about the Fourth of July hydroplane race last year and a threat from the sheriff’s office to stop the annual event unless it’s permitted, the race will apparently go on uninterrupted tomorrow. “With minimal staffing, I don’t know if I’m able to do anything,” said Sgt. James Knauss, supervi-
sor of the King County Sheriff’s Office’s marine unit. “I’m not saying I won’t, I just don’t see how.” Meanwhile, those involved in the annual race say the event shouldn’t require a permit, as it’s loosely organized with no official sponsor or prize money. While they know some complain about the noise, they say far more islanders support the longstanding tradition. “If you try to do it right, it could
be this huge bureaucratic nightmare, when it’s actually just a few people putting their boats in the water,” said Chris Van Buskirk, who plans to have a boat in the race tomorrow. Vintage hydroplanes have been circumnavigating the island at dawn — first on New Year’s Day and then on the Fourth of SEE HYDROPLANES, 15

Mukai fence can stay for six more months rity hasn’t been a problem at the site and any potential wrongdoers could easily get past the deer fence that’s there. She said the fence looked unsightly and questioned why Matthews would be “rewarded” when the fence wasn’t supposed to go up without approval in the first place. “If anything, it adds to a sense of neglect, not security,” she said. In the application for the Certificate of Appropriateness, however, officials with Island Landmarks wrote that there have been ongoing security concerns at the site just outside Vashon town. The nonprofit installed a black deer fence last year after the Friends of Mukai, believing they had legally taken control of the Island Landmarks board, announced they would hold an open house at the site. “At this time, IL (Island Landmarks) realized that the facility had to be protected and secured; thus the deer fencing was installed as a temporary measure,” the application reads. In the application, Island Landmarks says it hopes a permanent fence with a design that complements the site will eventually be installed. “The overall security picture has improved slightly, but the homeless, drug dealers, and vandals are still a problem,” it says. Scott said the design review committee originally recommended that the fence be allowed to stay up for a year, but the Landmarks Commission, upon hearing testimonies last Tuesday, shortened the certificate to six months. Should Island Landmarks wish to install a permanent fence, Scott said, the nonprofit must submit an application and design to the commission for consideration.

A county commission ruled last week that Island Landmarks can keep a fence up at the Mukai farmhouse for at least six more months. The King County Landmarks Commission granted Island Landmarks, the nonprofit that owns the historic farmhouse and garden, a Certificate of Appropriateness that allows it keep a temporary deer fence up at the site until next January, at which point it must be removed or a new, approved fence erected. Island Landmarks, headed by part-time Vashon resident Mary Matthews, put up the fence without the commission’s approval last year and applied with the county in May to keep it in place for one more year for security purposes. The Landmarks Commission voted last week to allow it to stay for six months. “They were sort of giving her the benefit of the doubt that there could be some security issues with the property, and that seemed like a reasonable solution while she attempts to find other security alternatives,” said Todd Scott, a staff architect on the Landmark Commission’s design review committee. Critics of Island Landmarks, however, say the fence isn’t needed and is one more thing that limits access to the historic site. Several members of Friends of Mukai, the group seeking to bring the property into new ownership, testified at a Landmarks Commission hearing in Seattle on Tuesday, June 25, saying the fence should not be allowed to remain. Glenda Person, a Friends of Mukai board member, said in her testimony that secu-

Land trust adds another piece to Paradise Valley preserve By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer

The Vashon Maury Island Land Trust recently secured a small but crucial addition to its growing preserve in Paradise Valley. “It’s another piece of the puzzle we’re trying to put together,” said Tom Dean, executive director of the land trust. Last month the nonprofit closed on its purchase of a 3-acre parcel in the southeast corner of the Judd Creek watershed, a swath that now amounts to its farthest downstream piece of Judd Creek. The land trust purchased the undeveloped parcel for $20,000 from a Tacoma resident. Dean said the property has an interesting history — it was once owned by the Bibbins family, an early island family that homesteaded on Vashon. King County did not partner with the land trust on the purchase as it often does, Dean said, but land trust officials felt the addition was important, and used surplus operating funds to cover the cost. “We were willing to jump off the diving board and
take the risk and hope that some funders do come forward,” Dean said. “We do eventually need to recoup those funds.” The land trust has been building its preserve around Judd Creek — the island’s largest watershed and a favorite stream for salmon spawning — for some time. Protecting this new downstream parcel is significant, Dean said, because chum salmon are known to spawn downstream, while coho prefer the upstream reaches. “Most chum are spawning right in that area,” he said. As the land trust continues to purchase parcels or secure easements in Paradise Valley, it hopes to eventually build a trail that will wind from Quartermaster Harbor to Island Center Forest. Dean said the trail, which would follow Judd Creek, would be similar to the one at the Shinglemill preserve. “It’s a lovely ravine. It’s a beautiful valley,” he said. “Not unlike the Shinglemill trail, it would be hugely popular.

recognized the same as their neighbors,” Cobarr said. “It’s a win for love. It’s a win for all the people who put so much into it on Vashon, in Washington and in other states.” Last fall VFUM, a loosely organized group of same-sex marriage advocates, raised more than $10,000 for Washington United for Marriage, the main organization campaigning for Ref. 74. County and state officials have suggested that Washington’s passage of Ref. 74 helped pave the way for last week’s historic Supreme Court decision. “This is a thank you,” Cobarr said of the get-together on Wednesday, “because that played a role.”
Last Wednesday about 30 islanders involved with Vashon Families United for Marriage gathered to “toast to everyone and recognize a historic moment,” said Pearce Cobarr, one of the group’s organizers. The group, which was active last fall in the campaign for Referendum 74, met at The Hardware Store Restaurant to celebrate the U.S. Supreme Court’s rulings on the Defense of Marriage Act and California’s Proposition 8. The decisions cleared the way for same-sex marriage in California and granted federal recognition of same-sex couples married in the dozen or so states that have legalized it. “This means our families and kids are

As of last Monday, the Vashon Health Center has a new name: the Franciscan Medical Clinic - Vashon Island. The majority of clinics throughout the Highline system have been renamed similarly, according to Scott Thompson, a spokesman for the Franciscan Health System. He said July 1 is the date the Highline Medical Group was fully integrated into the Franciscan system. For more than a decade, the Vashon Health Center was owned by the Burienbased Highline Medical Center. Facing a difficult financial picture, Highline merged with Tacoma’s Franciscan Health System in April. This change will provide a more stable financial picture to the island clinic, but many critics have voiced concerns about the Franciscan’s Catholic influence on health care. — Susan Riemer
Generous donation spurs ideas for a new endeavor By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Thanks to the generosity of an islander retiring from a career in high-end cabinetry work, Vashon may soon have its own woodworking cooperative and is seeking community input to make it happen. Jeff Thurlow has closed his Capital Hill business, Wood Specialties, after 40 years and plans to donate his considerable inventory of top-of-theline professional woodworking equipment to help create the Vashon Woodworking Center, according to Dave Warren, who is part of the group hoping to bring the idea to fruition. Before the project can get off the ground, though, a storage site for the equipment, originally valued at up to $250,000, needs to be located, said Dan Safford, a member of the small steering committee behind the effort. The group is looking for options, he said, and islanders with a space or good ideas for one are invited to contact him. By next summer, Safford said, organizers hope to have an up-and-running facility that would provide an array of opportunities for woodworkers, artisans, hobbyists and homeowners who need occasional access to tools and machinery as well as a space for projects. Such an endeavor would provide benefits to the woodworkers, and it would provide much-needed

island jobs, including a manager and shop stewards, Safford said. “I’m keen on starting a business that allows people to earn a living,” he said. The group’s vision includes three phases, he noted. The first is getting the equipment to Vashon, storing it and finding a permanent location. Once the center is established, he said, the group hopes to rent space to island woodworkers, giving them access to all of the tools. Everyone would be given safety training and be certified on each piece of equipment, which ranges from computer-operated saws to high-end power tools. Members of the group also foresee the center making products, in part with wood milled by the Vashon Forest Stewards. Items might include simple benches, chicken coops, tiny houses with high-end finishes and sets for nearby theaters. The center may also collaborate with others on the island, such as metal workers. In addition to the usefulness of the products themselves, they would bring in money. “We want this to be a project that generates revenue,” Safford said. The group does not want to stop there, Safford said, but also intends to provide education to young people about woodworking and the elements of entrepreneurship, including design, manufacturing and marketing. Safford has spoken with school district superintendent Michael Soltman about this idea, and Soltman has a expressed a “keen interest,” Safford said. Safford noted that he believes such a project

would draw STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) grants. Beyond education at the high school level, woodworking workshops and demonstrations are also part of the vision. He acknowledged that while there are many plans the group would like to implement, there are constraints. “The big bugaboo is money, of course,” he said. The cooperative will likely become a nonprofit organization, which would make it eligible for grants, Safford said, or it could possibly come under the umbrella of the Vashon Forest Stewards. And, he added, he is considering undertaking a Kickstarter campaign, as such campaigns have proven to be valuable to other good ideas short on funds. As the group moves forward, he said, members would like to hear from islanders who might be interested in the project or those who might have tips about a potential space — ideally 2,500 square feet where the equipment could be stored and kept in good condition for three to 12 months. In the mean time, there is considerable work to do. “I would like to be up and running by next June, in a space and producing our first products next June,” Safford said.

Car-free commute shows society at its best
A special program on Vashon is at risk
The other night, as I was sitting on the water taxi on my way home to Vashon, I struck up a conversation with a couple from Cambridge, England, who appeared to be headed to the island for a visit. As it turned out, they didn’t plan to set foot on Vashon. They were simply taking a sunset cruise on the water taxi. A ride on the King County-owned catamaran, they noted, was as lovely as a cruise on one of those big, tourist-filled commercial boats and a lot less expensive. Now that I’m no longer employed on the island, this is my life: Commuting every day via a boat some ride for the sheer pleasure of it. In the weeks after I left The Beachcomber, people would often ask me how my commute was, sometimes in a sympathetic, almost rueful tone. The answer: The commute is really quite lovely, and I’m often torn by my choices: Do I read a book, talk to a fellow commuter or simply stare out the window at the glassy blue water and the forested flanks of Blake Island? Granted, this commute is still new. At some point, it will become mind-numbingly familiar. I’ll arrive to the dock in the dark, shivering in the rain, not drinking in the morning sun. Even so, even though I know it won’t always feel so sweet, I’m struck by how lucky we are on Vashon to have a water taxi that whisks us across Puget Sound to downtown Seattle, a water taxi that is served by a public bus that drops us off minutes before the boat’s departure or picks us up at the end of the day. I rarely drive anymore. My daily routine involves buses, boats and my own two feet.
When we learned that Camp Goodtimes was back in session on Vashon and that campers were fishing at the pond at the Sportsmen’s Club, we expected to find a lovely scene there. Kids of all ages and backgrounds tossed lines in the pond, some intent on the task at hand, others chatting away with friends they met at the camp. A couple times everyone joined in on a camp song. Besides some visible medical needs, you’d hardly guess these young people all had lives dramatically altered by cancer. On Vashon, they left hospitals, appointments and stresses behind and joined others who are facing the same challenges them to just be kids. What we didn’t expect to find last week was that Vashon may not be a haven for these cancer patients, survivors and their siblings next year. The American Cancer Society is apparently pulling its funding of Camp Goodtimes, which holds two weeklong camps each summer at Camp Burton. Vashon kids don’t often attend this camp, and not many islanders volunteer there either. But the in its 30 years on Vashon, Camp Goodtimes and its mission have become well known to many on Vashon, and we suspect islanders would be sad to see it close. On Friday the camp’s director, Gus Peterson, spoke to the importance of places like Camp Goodtimes. With a trained medical staff, the camp allows some young people to enjoy the outdoors and traditional camp activities that they otherwise never could. For other kids, the camp is simply a place where they can feel normal and not different than their peers because of what they’ve been through. Indeed, Vashon seems like an ideal spot for these kids to just get away. We don’t know exactly why the ACS plans to stop funding camps — the director believes the organization is focusing its funds on cancer research — or whether the situation could change in the future. We do know that there’s already an effort under way to get new funding in place for next summer. Such an effort will undoubtedly be costly — the camp has traditionally been free to families who have already been burdened with medical bills. But the camp is already partially supported by donations, and perhaps a wider fundraising effort could keep its doors open. We hope that, given the opportunity, islanders will help. In recent years Vashon residents have showed strong support for Relay for Life, an annual fundraiser for the American Cancer Society that benefits local program. Perhaps in the future, a special fundraiser for Camp Goodtimes, a cause close to home, could be incorporated into the event.
COMMUTING By LESLIE BROWN This boat, and these buses, are of course supported by tax dollars. Indeed, I see my commute as government at its best. The boat is nearly always full. While the cost of a ticket is not inconsequential — $5 per trip — it’s certainly affordable (and heavily subsidized by many employers who realize the benefits of encouraging their employees to leave their cars behind). And get this: The bus that picks me up at the corner of Bank and Vashon Highway is almost always on time, as is the water taxi it delivers me to. The crew on the boat is warm and friendly. And unlike the former Vashon passenger ferry that sank off the coast of Zanzibar, a boat that was overloaded and employed on a route for which it was ill-equipped, this journey feels utterly safe. Blasting government is a sport these days. And for sure, government isn’t perfect. The other reality of my commute is the one I face as I walk each morning through City Hall Park, living quarters for a small but constant collection of homeless people who sit on the benches with their bags and blankets. Often, a woman who looks racked by drugs asks me for a penny. Once, more poignantly, I heard her say to some-
Fourth of July
Fireworks can be both fun and safe Vashon enjoyed two years of incident-free fireworks usage until last year. Thankfully, there were no reported fireworks injuries on-island last year, but there were two significant fires on hillsides. The fires last year illustrate why it is so important to choose the right location to light fireworks and why people should only use legal products. Illegal fireworks are illegal for a good reason: Statistically they cause almost all of the serious fireworks-related incidents in our state. The two major categories of fireworks that are illegal in Washington are bottle rockets and firecrackers. The hazards of firecrackers are pretty obvious, the main ones being injury and hearing loss. It’s also easy to damage property with them. Bottle rockets are a little more subtle; they look innocuous, but tend to fly in an erratic fashion. They will often go somewhere they shouldn’t and

can light things on fire. Keep in mind that transporting illegal fireworks via the ferry can get you in big trouble. If you choose to use fireworks, always keep a charged hose and a bucket of water nearby. If you are lighting on grass, give it a good watering a couple of hours before the show. Avoid dry areas and places where product could end up in trees. Talk to your fireworks dealer to find out how high and wide your fireworks will go so you can be prepared. Be considerate: Light only during the legal hours on July 4. It’s a good idea to talk to your neighbors about what you are planning so they can be prepared. If your neighbors or their animals are sensitive to noise, please consider quiet fireworks or an alternate location. Also consider taking fireworks safety classes that will be offered at Sound Food. Be safe, and have a happy, beautiful Fourth of July!

one eating a sandwich, “You gonna finish that?” Despite our best efforts, the epidemic of drugs and the pain of untreated mental illness are a drama that plays out on our city streets every day, a reminder of our limits as a society. Even so, my daily commute has given rise in me to a deeper appreciation for what it is that we can achieve when we work together, which, ultimately, is the definition of government. We, not them. Collective action, not finding our own way, separate and apart. And often, it’s at the local level that we see our greatest successes: Libraries and schools, parks and sewer systems, land protection and water taxis that run on time. What’s more, these aren’t just luxuries. These are amenities, for sure, but with benefits to society that are profound: cleaner air and water, wildlife habitat and playgrounds, public safety and roads that aren’t so clogged. We all stand to gain from effective and efficient government. And the water taxi – wellrun, much-used and serving a clear and immediate need – is a great example of government that works. So my commute is good. In fact, I wrote this entire commentary while riding on the water taxi, though it took a while to finish it, as I found myself often wanting to chat with fellow commuters or stare out the window at Puget Sound. Who knows? One of these days I might spot a killer whale or a pod of porpoises as I make my way to work.

Domestic violence
DoVE provides specific services The DoVE Project does not wish there to be any misinformation about services relating to domestic violence on Vashon. Below are a few key points that we feel need clarification. The DoVE Project does not approve protection orders nor does a lawyer. It is not easy to manufacture domestic violence claims or to have a judge grant a protection order without ample proof. They are only granted after a judge considers the testimonies and evidence presented by both partners. Families can certainly be ruined by false allegations. However, most assuredly families are devastated by abuse from an intimate partner. When a victim has taken the step to leave the abusive relationship, he or she is usually in the most danger of physical harm. Most attorneys who work with domestic violence survivors work either pro bono, i.e. for free, or for a reduced fee. Victims of abuse generally, slowly but surely, have had their freedoms curtailed and may either have no access to any money or very limited access. The DoVE Project offers services to any victim of intimate partner violence, including men and women, in either heterosexual or LGBTQ relationships. Our Vashon DoVE participants come from all socio-economic classes; they are your neighbors, the people you see at Thriftway, the women and men

you run into on the ferry. They reflect the racial demographics of our Island. The DoVE Project does not provide services to the abuser in a relationship with intimate partner violence. Some excellent organizations across the water do, however, provide such services. The DoVE Project’s long term mission is to “Build a community in which abuse is eliminated and personal empowerment is promoted through prevention, education and training.� We will be here for you when you or someone you know needs us. — Elizabeth Archambault, executive director, The DoVE Project
Government surveillance
Data collection is necessary This letter is a response to alarmists and conspiracy theorists who claim NSA surveillance programs violate our privacy. Even if that were true, I’d gladly trade my media privacy to foil a Boston Marathon plot, but the NSA does not individually scrutinize communications. They aren’t monitoring our e-mailed jokes, baby pictures or Facebook postings of the last meal we ate. Twenty-two analysts are authorized to “farm metadata,� accessing the database of telephone calls in espionage and terrorism investigations, conducting 300 queries last year. Analyzing internet activity is not new — during flu season, Google tracked symptom searches and gave the CDC advance warning where outbreaks were headed.

The Edward Snowdens of the world try to mislead and exploit the vulnerable through their rhetoric. They stir up public outrage for their own self-serving purposes — a bestselling book, a movie contract, the creation of drama for political advantage. The question is: Are invasions of privacy justified? Do such programs constitute unreasonable search and seizure? I conclude they do not — that their activity is minimal, insignificant and necessary. I want my government to know who suspected terrorists talk to over the phone. The NSA claims to have disrupted over 50 terrorist plots in the last 12 years (10 required the farming of phone and internet data) with amazing success. They monitored a Yemeni extremist in Kansas, foiling his plot to blow up the New York Stock Exchange. In 2009 an Afghan in Chicago was arrested and pled guilty to planning suicide bombings in the New York subway system. Ensuring our safety and warning other countries of impending danger are compelling goals, an intelligent use of technology and a wise use of tax dollars. We shouldn’t let the paranoia of a few interfere with our government’s ability to protect the public. — Ann Jacobs
Our rights should be defended Last month you printed a letter I wrote in which I said that Obama ought to be impeached. I also said that what we need is to have a public airing of what is happening to

our Constitution. Since then, we have the revelations of Edward Snowden and Russ Tice, whistleblowers who tell us that the government has recorded, for some time now, the contents of every email and phone call we’ve made. This means that any citizen or public official can now conceivably be blackmailed and/or shut down by the NSA or whoever it is that controls this information. So this revelation has convinced me that I was wrong to advocate for Obama’s impeachment. The truth is that we have no mechanism by which he could be impeached and have his impeachment make a difference. Most members of Congress, the Supreme Court, military leaders and captains of industry, particularly those who run the so-called fourth estate and the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower talked about, are now so corrupted that we no longer have what can legitimately be called in the United States, a true democracy. To restore the rights and freedoms the Constitution promises would require that the people who have had such a corrupting influence acknowledge their infidelity, tell the full truth about what they’ve done and what they know and then step aside so that we might try again to form a more perfect union. Frankly, I don’t believe this is going to happen We live in a very special place here on Vashon, and yet I’m left to wonder if the citizens of every other town and city in the country care as much about protecting our rights and freedoms as most Vashon residents do, will our children and grandchildren ever know true freedom again? — Mark A. Goldman

Q:
I’m really sick of you recommending that people go see a lawyer. If you don’t know the answers then why do put yourself out there as some kind of expert? I had some specific questions and you said I should consult an attorney. That cost me a lot of money. If I have to ask an attorney every question then who needs a real estate broker?
A:
More Than Just A Lumber Yard Your Complete Home Center
First, you have to understand that a real estate license is not a license to practice law. We can answer certain kinds of questions, discuss property issues, fill in forms, and give our own opinions based on experience. But we can’t give legal advice. It’s critical that for as large an investment as buying a home, you get the best advice you can. For instance, title companies answer specific title questions and have their own attorneys. I can read and understand most title policies and have had training to do so. Many real estate brokers have also had that special trained. But beyond a certain point we simply do not have the expertise and must refer you to the title company attorney. There are issues with lending and loans that are beyond our knowledge too. I can help you understand the basic structure of lending and your loan documents, but there are many things that only an attorney can explain. There really is no such thing as “boilerplate� language. All contracts should be read and fully understood. I want you to have the best information possible. I would be doing you a great injustice if I just spouted off anything that crossed my mind without really having the knowledge, experience or training to be accurate. I don’t often recommend that you get advice from an attorney but when I do you can be sure it’s for something important. After 25 years in this business and a substantial education, I feel I can answer basic questions and give reasonable advice. But when I’m in doubt I want to be able to send you to whatever expert I think you need, including an attorney.

As part of an ongoing effort to clean up Quartermaster Harbor, the state recently removed a large, abandoned structure floating in the water outside Dockton. The floating net pen, a 120-foot-long dock-like structure, was put in the harbor about 20 years ago, and some Dockton residents say they think an old island family once used it to rear salmon in large nets strung between the walkways. The net pen has been abandoned for years, though, and officials say its creosote pilings, chains and crumbling styrofoam floats posed a risk to the environment. The structure was tagged for removal several months ago, and when no owners came forward, the state Department of Natural Resources hired a crew to break apart the structure and haul it to shore, finishing the work late last month. Eventually crews will return to remove some last creosote pilings. As part of the project, the state also plans to remove some sunken boats, derelict vessels and abandoned buoys in the harbor.

Take a walk on the arty side Friday’s Gallery Cruise takes place from 6 to 9 p.m. at Vashon shops and other venues. By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Arts Editor
The Hardware Store Restaurant’s gallery will be filled with two exhibits organized by island photographer Ray Pfortner. Viewers will be able to cast People’s Choice Award ballots for both shows. The first show is the culmination of Pfortner’s 7th annual Shoot to Show class, presented in collaboration with Vashon Allied Arts. This year, Pfortner’s students included six adults and four teenagers, all eager to gain comprehensive skills in preparing and exhibiting photography in a juried exhibition. Pfortner’s students focused on the theme of water, and photographed more than 8,000 images in a twomonth time span. Of those images, 100 were submitted to a panel of jurors that included Wendy Finkleman, Nance Scott, Melinda Sontgerath and Kristine and Rick Dahms. Thirty images were selected for the show. The second exhibit will show photographs created by 8th-grade students
at McMurray Middle School, during the school’s annual Exploratory Week. Pfortner, joined by co-teachers Karen Person and Katie Lewandowski, led 12 students in a four-day photography intensive, visiting sites in Tacoma, Seattle and on Vashon. The resulting show has 36 framed prints. The Puget Sound Cooperative Credit Union will exhibit multi-media collage works by Claudia Hollander and John Lucas. Hollander will present montages and related photographs from her new book, “Vox Populi,” and Lucas will show collage-processed oil paintings that reflect his background in geology. The reception will feature the music of acoustic guitarist, songwriter and educator Daryl Redeker. VALISE will exhibit work by Brian Van Buren, from his continuing “Thicket” series. The series, said Van Buren, started as an “expression of the situation we sometimes find ourselves in, either by our own doing or others’, through which we need to find our way.” For Vashon Allied Arts’ show, “Portraits of Elders: People Who Inspire,” five artists will line the gallery’s walls with a show that is a “who’s who” of influential and inspiring islanders. Vashon painter Olivia Pendergast came
A portrait of John Browne, by Olivia Pendergast (right), and a photograph by Ross Wheeler (above) are included in this week’s cruise. up with the concept for the show, after she heard local author and storyteller Michael Meade speak about the cultural importance of elders. For Pendergast, the word “elder” means something much more subtle than a chronological age or a list of accomplishments. “It’s about the feelings an elder inspires in others,” Pendergast said. “I’m intrigued by the vibrant interaction between elders and other members of the community.” The show includes pencil drawings by Bruce Morser, oil paintings by Pam Ingalls, watercolors by Donna Botten and paintings by William Forrester and Pendergast. Islanders Bettie Edwards, John Browne, Bruce Haulman, Edith and Ray Aspiri and John Jannetty are among the
subjects of the artworks. The evening will kick off at 5:30 p.m. with a presentation by Meade, who will present a mixture of poetry, song, storytelling and percussion. Jack Barbash, Steve Meyer, Fletcher Andrews and Peter Scott will play live music at the reception. SEE MORE LISTINGS, NEXT PAGE

THERE’S LOTS MORE TO DO Country legends on the big screen At 9:30 p.m. Friday, July 5, Vashon Film Society will present “Old Farts and Jackasses� at Vashon Theatre. The show is a celebration of screen performances by giants of country music past, including Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Ray Price, Merle Haggard and George Jones. The show will kick off with authentic traditional country music ably performed by island composer Jason Staczek and Seattle crooner, guitarist and songwriter Garth Reeves. The show got its name from an online uproar that started a few months ago, when country music performer Blake Shelton said in an interview, “Nobody wants to listen to their grandpa’s music. And I don’t care how many of these old farts around Nashville are going, ‘My God, that ain’t country! ’ Well, that’s because you don’t buy records anymore, jackass.� Shelton got a scathing response from Merle Haggard, Ray Price and thousands of hard-core country fans. Friday’s show, presented in collaboration with Northwest Film Forum, is part of Vashon Film Society’s regular lineup of “First Friday� art films and events. The all-ages show starts at 9:30 p.m. Friday; tickets are $7.

FROM THE COMMUNITY
Two high school debaters go to Nationals VHS debate team has its strongest season in years By JIL STENN For The Beachcomber
For the first time in 10 years, Vashon High School debate team members qualified to attend the National Forensic League’s tournament, a national competition for high school debate, held June 16 to 21 in Birmingham, Ala. Junior Lili Stenn and freshman Callan Foster represented Vashon High School at the event and competed among hundreds of teams from across the country. Although the girls didn’t bring home any awards, they were honored to participate alongside the top debaters in the country. Stenn’s partner for the 2012-2013 season, senior Cate Stackhouse, decided to walk in her high school graduation ceremony that weekend instead of shooting for Nationals. Committed to the team’s success, she helped prep Stenn and Foster at the national qualifiers in March, even on her 18th birthday. During this past season, the VHS team had a stellar showing, the strongest overall in a half-dozen years. Most notably, Stenn and Stackhouse finished third at the WIAA state tournament in March. According to former debate coach Jim Dorsey, they most recently placed at State in 2007 and 2008, when debaters took fourth and fifth respectively. Two types of debate are practiced at VHS: Policy or Cross X (CX) and Lincoln Douglas (LD). Policy students debate in teams of two, whereas LD debaters are solo. This year VHS had five CX teams and 13 students
debating LD. CX is distinguished by a single, yearlong topic, and theLD topic changes every couple of months, both of which are determined by the National Forensic League. At Nationals, Stenn and Foster debated whether the federal government should substantially increase its transportation infrastructure investment in the United States. Season highlights for the CX team, led by captains Stenn and Stackhouse, included the team taking first place at a tournament in Puyallup, third at the University of Puget Sound and Auburn Riverside, and fourth at Tahoma. The novice team of Elliot Carleton and Kalie Heffernan took first place at Auburn Riverside, and at Gonzaga, a Western States regional tournament, they broke to out (final) rounds. Elliot Carleton and Josh Tillman placed second at Tahoma, and the novice team of Corinne Blair and Emma Dubois broke to out-rounds at the University of Puget Sound. The entire CX team received high-level Speaker awards at all the local tournaments. The LD team was led by captains Julia Zaglin, a junior and Jamie Chevalier, a senior, with additional leadership from sophomore varsity members Zoey Salsbury, Quinn Weber and Ben Stemmer. At the Whitman Tournament in Walla Walla, Salsbury and Zaglin both broke to out rounds in the Champ category, as well as Stemmer and Weber in Senior. Zaglin placed second at both the Puyallup and Tahoma tournaments and won her State bid at the Auburn Riverside tournament. Novice Rosemary Braddock made it to quarter-final rounds at Tahoma. At the WIAA State tournament, Salsbury broke to out rounds. Many of the novices competed in junior varsity at their first and second tournaments. Steven Denlinger taught the debate class at VHS and engaged the student captains and varsity members to

Additional support was provided by Jim Dorsey, a retired VHS debate coach; Will Gent, head coach of the University of Puget Sound debate team, and Max Merchant, the assistant coach at VHS. — Jil Stenn is the mother of a Vashon High School debate team member.

HYDROPLANES CONTINUED FROM 1
July — for more than half a century. The event has garnered both criticism and praise over the years, with some islanders complaining about the window-shaking noise the boats make early in the morning and others defending the race, saying it’s an island institution. Some even call the annual event the beginning of summer. “It’s part of the fabric of this community,” said Brian Brenno, n islander who has been involved in the races for years. “It’s going to bother you for half an hour one time a year. Roll over and go back to sleep.” Knauss, who has been with the sheriff’s office’s marine unit for eight years, said he hadn’t heard of the so-called hydro races until last year, when the sheriff’s office received a large number of calls from people complaining about the noise. At the time, he said his office would put a stop to the next races unless participants obtained a marine event permit and adhered to marine regulations. He said the department sometimes grants temporary exemptions for speed and noise ordinances and was willing to work with the racers should they take the steps to obtain a permit. “All we’re asking is for them to follow the same rules that everyone

Knauss said he expects the Guard have both threatened to shut event will happen again on Thursday down the event in the past, and may morning, as the office has already have done so once in the 1970s.

HONORS Isaac Castellano Isaac Castellano, a 1998 graduate of Vashon High School, received a PhD in political science from the University of Kentucky in May. Prior to this, he earned a master’s degree at Portland State University. He and his wife Rebecca Som Castellano have accepted teaching positions at Boise State University beginning the fall of 2013. Castellano is the son of Paul and Laura Robb of Vashon.
Atkins Elizabeth Atkins, a 2007 graduate of Vashon High School, was awarded a bachelor of science degree in social science and public health from Portland State University. While consistently maintaining better than a 3.0 GPA, she worked as a supervisor in the university’s fundraising department. Although Atkins was one of 800 graduates at the June 16 ceremony, she was easy to spot because of “Thanks Mom!” written in white on the top of her cap. Atkins will enjoy the summer on Vashon before embarking on a further path.
FUNDRAISER ‘Big Joy’ “Big Joy: The Adventures of James Broughton,” a documentary film produced by islander Stephen Silha, has launched a $50,000 Kickstarter campaign to cover costs of launching distribution for the film, following its successful launch on the festival circuit. The film has won fans and awards at festivals including South by Southwest, Florida Film Festival, the Tribeca Film Festival and the Hong Kong Film Festival. It chronicles the life, art and unconventional choices of Broughton, a poet and pioneering filmmaker.

Beth Schmidt
Bethene Schmidt left us on June 21, 2013 with her daughter Cindy by her side at Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup, Washington. Beth was born Laurel Bethene Ellston on February 11, 1926 in Rapid City, South Dakota. She graduated in 1944 from Dallas High School in Dallas, South Dakota. She then went to California and worked in a factory until returning to Dallas, South Dakota. She married Joe Laur in Gregory, South Dakota on 6-21-1950. Beth and Joe were parents of 8 kids when they left South Dakota in 1967 and moved to Washington State. She was a mother, a homemaker and also started working for JC Penney in 1971 and retired in 1988. Beth and Joe were married 40 years when Joe died. Joe and Ed Schmidt were best friends. Joe asked Ed to keep an eye on Beth shortly before he died and that is just what he did. Beth and Ed were married May 1. 1993 and had their 20th anniversary this year. Beth loved many things, but most of all her family. She loved cooking, crocheting, quilting and sewing. She and Ed loved music, dancing and oh yes the casinos. Beth was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Art, her sisters Pat and Gladys. Her oldest son Larry Laur most recently passed the previous Friday, 6-14-2013.

FIELDS CONTINUED FROM 1
a fundraising campaign in 2010 with the expectation the fields would open in summer of 2011, the project was slated to cost $1.1 million, according to park documents. Those costs have now risen to $1.7 million, Ott said, and she anticipates that as work continues, the figure will rise to more than $1.8 million by the end of the year. Also troubling to some who follow the district closely is the increased cost to taxpayers. Park district documents indicate the portion of the project covered by tax dollars was initially slated to be $125,000; now it exceeds $1 million, according to Ott. This increase drew strong words from Truman O’Brien, who served on the Vashon Park District board for eight years. “It infuriates me,” he said. “They’re virtually destroying the Vashon Park District for this project.” David Hackett, the treasurer of the Vashon Park District and a member of a group that envisioned the fields a decade ago, recently acknowledged the problems that accompanied the project but expressed his continued support for it
and his appreciation for progress at the fields. “I feel great,” he said. “This will serve generations of islanders. We already see kids and adults up there playing. Over time, the field will prove itself.” Hackett said that the increase in the project’s cost was due in part to design problems, inaccurate price estimates, unanticipated legal and regulatory hurdles and a lack of experience on the part of the small agency in administering large projects. He also noted that before construction ever began, the $1.1 million figure was deemed too low, and the board adopted a $1.5 million plan. Janet Quimby, who chairs the Oversight Committee, which formed this spring to provide expert advice to the park district on the construction of the new fields, noted that one of the committee’s goals is to establish good internal controls so that mistakes that were made are not repeated. She said she believes progress has been made on that count and also noted that the Oversight Committee is dedicated to seeing that the fields are now maintained and that the investment the district and the public have made in the project is protected. District officials agree that maintaining the fields is essential, and Ott said they’re now in the midst of determining how much field maintenance will cost. The fields are sand-based, she noted, and will require considerable

water and fertilizer. Mattingly said he speculated mowing and other field care at the site could occupy a three-quarter time staff person for much of the year. “It will certainly require a re-focus,” he said. Vashon Island Soccer Club President Hans Van Dusen said that despite the project’s past challenges and those that he expects are still ahead, the club welcomes the fields complex. “The soccer club thinks the project is a vital asset for any sports activities on the island,” he said. He noted that the island’s other fields — all grass and subject to damage from overuse — will also benefit, as the new fields have already begun to relieve them from too much activity. At the district, both Ott and Hackett say they feel the agency is on its way to recovery. Current projections are that the district will end the year with its bills paid and in the black, which Hackett called a tremendous accomplishment for Ott and the board. Finances are still tight now, however, and to help tide the district over, Ott recently secured a tax anticipation note (TAN) in the form of a $400,000 line of credit to draw from this summer and fall. This practice drew criticism last year from county treasurer Scott Matheson as well as Ron Olson, the director of municipal services for Cashmere Valley Bank, which had provided the park district with TANs in previous years. Matheson reiterated his concerns last week, saying that relying on TANs raises concerns about whether a district has sufficient revenue to play its bills. Also, he said, if a district seeks a TAN regularly, it may run the risk that no institution will be willing to provide it funds, leaving the district in a difficult spot. He added that while the practice has become commonplace on Vashon, it is not the norm for other districts. “It’s not common for any type of district to (rely on) TANs on a regular basis,” he said. Ott, however, said that it is not uncommon in the business world to use a line of credit, and noted that she anticipates drawing $107,000 to help the district meet its obligations until it receives its property tax payment in November, when she will repay the loan. Overall, Ott said, she believes the district has turned a corner. “I am quite confident we’re going to be on budget and end the year with $60,000,” she said. “I believe we are on our way back to solid footing.”

Brown Sugar is a loving, 3-yr old mixed breed dog of some lab variety! She is fabulous with young children and has been around them her whole life. She is smart, happy and willing to please. She does need to learn some manners, including how to walk on a leash. She would be best as an only dog (because she tends to excite other dogs in her household), but she could live with other dogs (she has been living with 2 dogs). She is OK with cats, but is curious around the ones that she lives with. Weighing close to 80 lbs, she is wiggly and difficult to photograph (you need to meet her in person)! She is protective of her home and needs a fenced yard. With some training and regular exercise, she will be a great addition to your family.
