Island’s second credit union will open by year’s end By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer

Captain David Wilson sails the Issaquah last Friday, one of his last days on the boat before retirement.
A Vashon captain’s final sailing Longtime ferry employee recalls decades on the water By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
On Friday as Captain David Wilson prepared the Issaquah for an 8:45 a.m. sailing from Fauntleroy to Southworth, he noticed a large barge approaching from the south. “We’ll have to pass him,” Wilson said, looking at a blinking red radar screen that noted the speed and name of the barge, the Tecumseh. Ron Calhoun, who helped sail the boat that morning as the ferry’s quartermaster, piped in, explaining that Wilson, who had several options in a situation like this, would likely decide to point the ferry north toward Blake Island as he made the crossing, giving the barge space to keep moving up the East Passage. As if on cue, Wilson, 66, picked up a black phone and radioed the Tecumseh, informing its captain that the Issaquah would make a large sweep north, giving the barge plenty of berth. “See, I knew it,” Calhoun said. “That’s how long we’ve been working together.” Indeed, much of the crew of the Washington State Ferries has gotten to know Wilson well in his 40 years on the water. And on Friday, just days before Wilson, 66, was set to retire, many crew
members aboard the Issaquah said the whitehaired and soft-spoken captain would be missed. Wilson’s last day on the ferry is today. “He’s one of the best skippers I’ve ever had,” Calhoun said. Asked why he chose a career on ferries, Wilson, taking a break in the wheelhouse that morning, gestured around him at the sunny, panoramic view of Puget Sound. It’s a scene — though not always so sunny — that he has seen from 5:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., five days a week. “This is my office,” he said with a grin. Wilson, who is also a Vashon resident, knows what it’s like to go without a view. As a young man, he joined the Coast Guard and worked on an ice breaker that was based in Seattle and traveled to the Arctic and Antarctic. While he has fond memories of seeing polar bears, penguins and “horizons full of walruses,” he said, as an engineering officer, he spent most of his time below deck in the boat’s engine room. In the early 1970s, he said he walked off the icebreaker and onto a ferry in Seattle to ask if he could have a job. “I wanted to work where there was a window and a view,” he said. In four decades with the Washington State Ferries, Wilson has been on several Vashon boats and has climbed the ranks in the wheelhouse, SEE CAPTAIN, 19
Nearly three years after a community effort brought Puget Sound Cooperative Credit Union to Vashon, an additional credit union will open soon. The Shelton-based Our Community Credit Union (OCCU) plans to move into the building that Bank of America will vacate in September. Bert Fisher, the president and CEO of OCCU, said he expects to open by the end of this year. He would like to begin offering some services sooner than that to assist Bank of America customers who may want to transfer their accounts. “There is a sense of urgency on our part,” he said. Norm Mathews, the owner of Thriftway and the manag-
ing partner of the Vashon East Shopping Center, approached OCCU after Bank of America announced it would be leaving the island, said Clay Gleb, one of Thriftway’s managers and, as a partner in Mathews’s company, participated in bringing OCCU to Vashon. “We felt there was still a need for another financial institution, and we felt Vashon would be better served by a small bank or credit union,” Gleb said. Mathews learned about OCCU from a fellow Thriftway owner, who has an OCCU branch in his store in Montesano, Gleb said. After meeting with Fisher and OCCU’s management and learning more about the credit union, Mathews and his team proceeded. “We came to the mutual SEE CREDIT UNION, 20
Two new art spaces roll out, another changes hands Ignition gallery closes after dispute By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Staff Writer
Island art lovers will see some changes in Vashon’s gallery scene on Friday evening’s Gallery Cruise. This Friday, Adam Cone and Megan Hastings, owners of Snapdragon Bakery and Café, will open the Hastings Cone Gallery in a space adjacent and connected to their restaurant. The pair, who have studied art at prestigious places, including The Art Institute of Chicago, Columbia University and Cornish College for the Arts, have renovated the small space to heighten the ceiling, creating an intimate gallery where they hope to exhibit not only wall pieces but also kinetic and other types of art. “We’re finally making use of our art education, which is, of course, the reason why we cook,” Cone
joked. Cone, who was also a founding member of VALISE Gallery, said that opening a gallery has been part of his and Hastings’ long-term plan for some time. At Snapdragon, he pointed out, he and Hastings have always shown work by local artists and children. And in June, Hastings mounted a show of her father’s travel photography in the space that has now become the gallery. This Friday, an exhibition of paintings by Allison Crain Trundle will officially launch the Hastings Cone Gallery. “Sometimes, you should just jump in, and so we decided to make a go of it,” he said, adding that the scale of the gallery will make it possible for it to be a warm and welcoming place. “It’s not huge or daunting,” he said. “There can be a certain degree of frivolity.” Cone is also excited, he said, SEE GALLERIES, 17

People are apparently living without permission and possibly against building codes in the former Vashon Family Practice office after plans to transform the space into a residence fell through, according to Sjardo Steneker, who owns the building. “People have moved in without my consent and they are still living there,” he said in an email to The Beachcomber. Steneker said people have moved into his office building in town, despite the fact that islanders Michael and Rebecca Parks, who had planned to rent the building for use as a boarding house and later as an assisted care center, backed out of their five-year lease. A staircase built at the property has also been tagged by the county’s Department of Permitting and Environmental Review (DPER), which says it was built without a proper permit, which may result in a fine. In an email to The Beachcomber, Steneker said he was taking action and had hired a lawyer, but declined to talk on the phone or give further details on the situation. “I can’t give you details at this time,” he said. The Parks did not respond to phone calls, but Doug Sudduth, the couple’s son and the contractor hired to do work on the building, said his parents backed out of their lease because they found out the building would require around $100,000 in remodeling work in order to be permitted for their planned use. Sudduth said two people, whom he called
caretakers, had moved into an upstairs apartment in the building, but he believed they were there with Steneker’s permission and said no one was living downstairs. A Beachcomber reporter who walked outside the building on Friday saw downstairs windows open and heard voices inside the building, but no one replied to knocks on the building door. Vashon Family Practice closed in 2011, after Steneker’s medical license was revoked, and the large office space with several exam rooms has been unoccupied since. Last month, Rebecca Parks talked with a Beachcomber reporter about her and her husband’s plans to rent the building and open Serenity Vashon, the name they gave their intended facility. The building was slated to open July 1 as a boarding house, she said, and would become an assisted living center when the proper licenses were obtained, which she anticipated would be in about six months. At the time, she said that rooms would be available for $250 a week and would include use of a kitchen area, common bathrooms, sitting rooms and an exercise room. A website for Serenity Vashon still advertises a home for seniors and disabled individuals and says that boarding rooms are available for $225 per week. Sudduth said he and his parents made about $10,000 of improvements to the building in preparation, including installing new external stairs, and seven people were on on a waiting list to move in. He said most of them were low-income individuals; about half of them were veterans, and they had agreed to pay $500 a month to live in the former exam rooms that had been outfitted as bedrooms. “A lot of these guys were on Social Security. … They can’t afford more than $500 for a room,” he said. While the Parks said they planned to open the
boarding house before Fourth of July weekend, Sudduth says that they changed their plans and backed out of their lease once they began the King County permitting process and found out how much work would have to be done on the building. “It needed too much work to the building to make the county happy,” he said. “Bringing the building to up code for that type of use was cost prohibitive.” Sheryl Lux, a code enforcement officer with DPER, also said the Parks inquired about permitting the building but didn’t continue the process. She said Michael Parks applied for a pre-application meeting to discuss installing a new staircase and obtaining a change-of-use permit to use the building as an adult daycare and assisted living facility. However, when he learned about the requirements of the change-of-use permit and the items that would be discussed at the meeting, he decided not to go through with the meeting, she said. “When he heard what all was going to have to be looked at, he decided he wasn’t going to do that,” she said. Lux said a code enforcement case had been opened for a set the exterior stairs that was built on the south end of the building without a permit. She added that DPER posted a stop-work notice on the stairs, but allowed the rails to be built on it for safety. The building owner must still apply for a permit for the stairs, she said, or face a fine from DPER. Lux also said that if anyone lived in the former doctor’s office, that would also be considered a building code violation and would also be punishable by a fine. “We would add it to this code enforcement case if we found out they were (using it) in a manner that’s not approved,” she said.

Former islander drowns near Shelton Katiana Taylor, a 2011 graduate of Vashon High school, died Sunday evening while swimming with friends in Lake Nawatzel in Mason County. Taylor, 20, who was known to many islanders, had moved off Vashon and was working and living in Seattle. She hoped to attend Washington State University in Pullman this fall, according to her stepfather John Frederickson. Taylor’s family includes her mother Kaia Frederickson, father Parker Taylor, twin brothers Max and Sam Frederickson, 18, and sister Sasha Reed, 15. She also had many close friends, John Frederickson said. “Her friends were like family to her,” he added. When she was younger, Frederickson said, she was athletic and played soccer and softball, among other interests. “She loved music, loved concerts, loved her friends,” Frederickson said. “She lived life to the fullest.” According to a news release from the Mason County Sheriff’s Office, Taylor and a group of her friends were having a gathering at Lake Nawatzel on Sunday when someone called 911 to report that Taylor had swum out to a buoy, went under water and did not resurface. Firefighters and medics searched the waters and located Taylor under nearly 20 feet of water but could not reach her. A member of the Mason County Dive Rescue Team was finally able to reach her, pulled her out of the water and began CPR. By that

Some Vashon beaches closed to shellfish harvesting Quartermaster Harbor beaches have been closed to recreational shellfish harvest because diarrhetic shellfish poison (DSP) has been found at unsafe levels. Last week, Public Health – Seattle & King County posted advisory signs at beaches along Quartermaster, warning people not to collect shellfish, including clams, oysters, mussels, geoducks and scallops. DSP is an emerging health
threat for Washington, public health officials say, and anyone who eats DSPcontaminated shellfish is at risk for illness. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, with diarrhea being the most commonly reported symptom. Symptoms may appear within minutes of eating contaminated shellfish or may take several hours. Naturally occurring algae produces the toxin, which is

not destroyed by cooking or freezing. Additionally, people cannot determine if DSP toxin is present; it can only be detected by laboratory testing. Because beaches can be closed because of rising levels of DSP at any time, harvesters are advised to call the Department of Health Biotoxin Hotline at 1-800-562-5632 or visit the Biotoxin Website before harvesting shellfish anywhere in Puget Sound.

Vote yes for continued progress at our parks
Shifts in the business scene create new opportunities
When I first moved to the island not so very long ago, the state was still clear-cutting timber in Island Center Forest; Maury Island Marine Park was a sea of scotch broom, and a controversy was stirring over a place called the “Lonestar Mine.” The name would become Glacier Northwest, then CalPortland — but now it’s a King County park. What a difference a couple decades makes. King County Parks is to be congratulated for their excellent work on Vashon and Maury since the previous park levy was passed. They deserve our vote of confidence, and they deserve a yes vote on Proposition 1 on your Aug. 6 ballot to renew the park levy. Have you hiked around Island Center Forest lately? Have you seen the trail improvements, the signs and the beautiful new picnic shelter at the 188th Street trailhead? Have you seen the largest weed removal project in island history unfolding at the Maury Island Marine Park? The progress is particularly lovely to view from the overlook across the street from the Swallow’s Nest cottages — a transformed landscape, the shining waters of the East Passage and Mount Rainier dominating the skyline. King County Parks is working hard for you. And they are delivering to you a remarkable value. It costs $5 to buy a one-day pass to your national forests. A one-day pass for a state park is $10.

At first glance, this week’s Beachcomber almost seems like one big business section. Front-page headlines tell that a new credit union is coming to the island and some new gallery spaces are opening in town. Read more to find that a property dispute at Ignition Gallery left its owner on the street and a new artists co-op is forming. And another dispute at the Vashon Family Practice office that both parties are tightlipped about has attorneys involved after plans for an adult care home fell through And don’t forget the We find ourselves new shop at the Old Fuller Store, where an ambitious wondering if the island designer is selling what can truly support three calls apparel with a pizza restaurants, so many she message. And finally, after art galleries or two credit years of enjoying the fame unions for that matter. of the Rent-a-Ruminant goats but being unable to use their services, islanders can rent Vashon goats and sheep owned by YamLamb Sheep Co. to do eco-friendly brush clearing that also supports Wolftown. All the activity is no surprise. We have noticed that Vashon’s business scene sometimes shifts at an alarming rate for such a small town. While many mainstay stores and restaurants have become anchors, we’ve also watched many open and close in the last year alone, and some have apparently discovered how tough it is to make a go of it on Vashon. We find ourselves wondering if the island can truly support three pizza restaurants, so many art galleries or two credit unions for that matter. But, as Vashon chamber director Jim Marsh has said, some healthy competition can also good for Vashon merchants. For instance, the new credit union promises services for businesses, which PSCCU doesn’t currently offer. We hope merchants facing a changing business landscape are compelled to offer the best prices and services they can and that islanders in turn will look to Vashon first, whether they wish to apply for a loan or have acres of blackberries removed. One businessman who seems to be embracing friendly competition is Sean Hoffman, who recently took over the Vashon Market IGA. He recently made a quiet business change that may please even more people than a new art gallery will. How many times have you meant to make an evening run to the grocery store for that gallon of milk, some nighttime snacks or a missing ingredient, only to realize the clock just passed 9 p.m.? Have you cursed living on an island as you considered whether a gas station would have what you’re looking for? In an unprecedented move, the IGA is now open until 10 p.m. every night. Kudos to Hoffman. We hope the decision proves to be a boon to business.
OUTDOORS By TOM DEAN you back $15. King County parks — right here on the island — are well cared for, offer diverse activities and opportunities and have no entry or parking fees. The park levy is obviously not free, but it’s less than $5 per month for a family owning a home worth $300,000. And it’s certainly worth it. A day hike at Mount Rainier would cost you the entry fee, gas and ferry fare. Or you could explore the Glacier trails with Mount Rainier just over your shoulder, as often as you like. For islanders, it is literally just down the street. But our parks are not only about trails and views. King County has tapped into our deep well of local expertise to bring modern forest practices to our parks. The days of fir plantations and clear-cuts are over. The county has demonstrated that thinning and planting with a variety of trees and shrubs can create more food and shelter for wildlife. Diverse forests are more resistant to climate change and provide sustainably-harvested wood for local craftsmen and builders. You can’t see it, but the island’s aquifer — our island’s water supply

Help my son feel safe Get to know our son, Luther Marinez. If you do, the safer he will be. Today, he is obviously a boy. He is 13 and a half and hasn’t started his teenage growth spurt. You have seen him around town and in the halls of McMurray. He probably said “hi” and remembered your name, or he was in his own world; it’s his world and he likes it! Luther is an amazing actor and has a beautiful swing in baseball. If you have seen us together, you
saw us laughing and delighted. Francisco and I are lucky. We adopted newborn twins in 2000 and got Luther and Marisol. The day after George Zimmerman’s acquittal, Luther and I went to a Mariner’s game, and the entire way Luther held my hand. He didn’t hold my hand out of fear, but out of comfort and desire to be affectionate. How great is it that a 13 and a half year boy still wants to hold his daddy’s hand?! It isn’t going to last forever. He will grow up. He will get older and taller. Given his sister’s height, he could be tall.

— is better off, too. Since 2005, King County has partnered with the land trust to protect and restore habitat along Judd Creek, where the soils are best for aquifer recharge. The renewed levy will also include funds for key additions to existing parks, including new trailheads like the gateway to Island Center Forest. Ideas in the works include creating a trail connection from Dockton Park and the Glacier site to the Maury Island Marine Park. The county has greatly increased access to our beaches as well, with new parks like Raab’s Lagoon. Expect more trailheads that lead to the beach — maybe even near your home — but only if you vote yes. A recent study published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine showed that the presence of trees actually lowers rates of heart and respiratory diseases. We are all healthier and happier when we have these green places to hike, run, bike, ride horses, walk dogs, picnic or just hang out. So please join me in voting yes for our parks, for the health of our community and for generations to come. More information is at www. yesforourparks.com.

side of their heritage. Luther and Marisol are bi-racial just like President Obama. In other words — in this country — Black. This means that when Luther grows up, he will be a Big Black Man. Luther is going to grow up contributing to our society. The murder of Trayvon Martin and the acquittal of George Zimmerman make it very real that some people will see him as someone to fear, a threat and a criminal. The only way they will think that is by not knowing him. Get to know our son, Luther Marinez. Help make Luther safe to be himself. — Randy Marinez

Family vacation: The best memories are made at a campground Our tires hiss on hot asphalt, a stringstraight two-lane county road cutting through fields of potatoes, alfalfa, timothy hay. We’ve discovered that there’s no air conditioning in our bug-spattered minivan, and the ambient air temperature of late afternoon has reached the upper 90s. Hot blasts of desert-dry air roar through windows open at highway speed, buffeting our four kids in the back like bees in a giant beauty parlor hairdryer. Rumbling canvas-covered hay trucks and squealing 18-wheelers turn simple conversation into shouting contests. The radio dial is a storm of static; every so often we pull in powerful mariachi or country-and-western stations as we hurtle through the tiny towns, often little more than a faded Pepsi sign or deserted grain elevator and a name on a map in faint blue type. We idle slowly through the campground at suppertime, winding past beach-towels draped half-mast on clotheslines waiting for a breeze, hairy men with brown beer bottles in their hands tending smoking barbeque grills and curious children staring at our car as we slowly pass. My wife Maria spots our campsite in one of the warrens of numbered stalls arranged in a semi-circle around a stinking camp lavatory with suspiciously damp concrete floors. Our campsite is little more than a graveled parking space with a sturdy picnic
FAMILY LIFE By KEVIN POTTINGER table chained to the ground, a concrete fire pit with hinged iron grate, and a flat spot in dry dirt for a tent. A cool green mountain lake beckons 50 yards down a small slope dotted with Ponderosa pines. Maria and I puzzle-piece our brand-new Costco tent together after staring uncomprehendingly at the series of pictographs in the multi-lingual instruction pamphlet, while our oldest boy pounds bent-wire stakes into the packed gravel with a softball-sized rock. A blond boy from the campsite next door wordlessly hands him a pale-green plastic mallet. His blond and tanned dad grins and waves; Maria and I wave back, uncertainly. The blond boy returns to his camp, an opulent oasis of expensive-looking desertexpedition tents canopied with a white nylon gazebo shading cool clutches of cushioned chairs. An attractive brunette in a pastel sundress pours a pitcher of fruity cocktails into a quartet of frosted cosmopolitan glasses stacked neatly on a wet bar,
next to a tall stack of fully-inflated floating toys. An electric air pump purrs confidently as it inflates a camo-colored raft. I imagine a marble fountain splashing somewhere in the cool darkness. We hastily pull on swimsuits in the stinking camp lavatory as a dozen mosquitoes patrol the damp, urine-fouled airspace and stampede into the chilling green water. At the water’s edge, I begin blowing up several cheap, dollar-store air-mattresses we bought at a dusty roadside supermercado. My cheeks ache as I purse my lips around the possibly defective plastic valves. I’m getting dizzy. For a fleeting second I see my wife Maria accepting a cocktail and disappearing into the cool darkness of the oasis. After an hour of furious puffing, the air mattresses are leaned against a tree, sagging in a sort of flaccid wheeze. Our oldest boy squeezes one sullenly, and eyeing our neighbor’s collection of fully-tumescent inflatable-party-islands and colorful poolloungers and the percolating air-pump, wants me to text Mom to ask them if we can borrow their pump. Almost immediately the kids poke holes in the cheap airmattresses on sharp rocks. Beyond the oasis is a party of whitehaired school-bus drivers with two grandkids close to our kids in age. The kids choose up sides by size and vanish, perhaps to examine the grandson’s collection of
Team String would like to thank St. John Vianney Church for their generous support of the Fourth Annual Vashon String Camp. Special gratitude goes to Father Marc, Maria Pottinger and Charles Lovekin for their kindness and logistical help. Thank you to Wendy Finkleman and VAA for excellent faculty and registration support. Thanks to Larry Muir for his outstanding contra dance teaching and contagious enthusiasm. Thank you to Annie Roberts for use of her awesome music theory games.

Thank you for your cards and letters. I want to thank all of you who sent cards and letters to me while I was recovering from my horrific accident in March. I also want to thank all those who donated at the Senior Center to purchase an insulin pump and hearing aids for me. My buddy, George Eustice, was in charge of this. After three months in a care facility in Puyallup, and three weeks with my daughter, Jina, I am home on my favorite place, Vashon. I have the care of all three of my daughters and nurses and aids. Vashon is a wonderful place to live. Nancy Wallrof
Thank you for returning my wallet. I would like to thank Susan Darr, Thriftway and a kind person who helped return my wallet to me. My wallet was on the roof of my car after getting gas and she saw it hit the highway
spreading $134, debit card, license, checks and gift cards across the road. This was everything I had earned doing yard work this month. She STOPPED traffic, and picked up every dollar, put it back in my wallet and brought it to customer service at Thriftway. She found someone who knew me and was a friend on Facebook and sent me a message telling me that she found my wallet and left it there for me to pick up. When I picked it up , EVERYTHING was in it! I really like knowing that I live in a such an honest and friendly community. Thank you so much, Rainier Haugen
On the Rocks A mile-high thank you to Melinda Sontgerath and her gracious, hardworking THS team of Gillian, Melissa, Pam and Rachel for letting us host ‘On the Rocks’ to benefit the American Lung Association’s Climb for Clean Air. Also on our rope team were our alpine co-hosts Bill Dorn and Michael O’Donnell (the latter, the patron saint of yet another good cause). We’re deeply grateful to our generous island friends and neighbours for stopping by for a mountain margarita on a beautiful summer’s night and raising over $1,000 for the Lung Association. Carol Eggen & Jeannine Emery
VIPP Benefit a success! A huge thank you and bouquets all around to Seattle Distillery and Andrew Will Winery for providing fabulous spirits and wine and a comfortable place for a tasting benefitting VIPP on June 16. Thank you also to the hundreds of people who turned out to sip and taste and enjoy a beautiful Vashon summer day while helping VIPP help the dogs and cats and potential caregivers of Vashon. Meow, purr, arf and woof to you all. Geoff Fletcher, VIPP president

shattered beer bottles. While I’m heating beans and weenies on a hissing propane camp stove, our youngest boy announces that he and his twin sister have hit it off with Kimmy and Barb, the school bus drivers, and they’ve been invited to the marshmallow-roasting party around their campfire that evening. He wants to know that I’m good with it, because, you know, I wasn’t invited. The next afternoon the temperature reaches 106 degrees. The pleasure-dome next door has folded up. Our only respite from the dizzying heat is to crouch fully immersed in the lake on submerged folding chairs. Panting in the heat, we clamber into the stifling car for a ride to civilization with commercial air-conditioning, abundant electricity and a variety of frozen novelties. We spend 300 bucks in two hours at a cavernous air-conditioned Wal-Mart. When I was a kid, vacations always faded to black with Dad grimly piloting our overloaded station wagon into a dark night, hunched over the wheel while kids snored in the back and Mom looked out the window, her hands folded in her lap, their profiles silhouetted in passing headlights. Maria tried to stay awake. We made the last boat home.

To view this blog & make comments, visit www.vashonislandrealestate.com/blog.html
We have looked at a couple of manufactured homes on the Island because they are affordable and some we’ve seen are very nice. Friends keep telling us that it’s impossible to get a home loan for them. They also say you have to pay a lot higher interest rate. We’ve heard you have a lot of experience with manufactured homes so we wanted your opinion.
A:
I just sold a very nice manufactured home on acreage and the buyer got a 3.5% interest rate. Closing costs were also very low. It’s not hard to get a loan for a manufactured home but there are some differences. There are only a few lenders who will loan on a manufactured home but they do a fine job. In addition, no lender that I’m aware of will loan on one as an investment (rental) property. It’s OK if it’s going to be a second home, but not if you intend to rent it out as an investment. There is a great range of quality in manufactured homes as there are in any houses. You want to be sure that it’s a high quality home and, if possible, that it’s less than 20 years old. You can’t get a loan on any manufactured home build in 1976 or older. They also won’t lend on a single wide home. Manufactured homes have to be well maintained just like any home. If properly cared for and built by one of the top manufacturers it will be an excellent home for a very long time. I’ve sold homes as old as 1978 that were in excellent shape. Some years ago the state began requiring that manufactured homes be built to the same basic HUD standards as “stick” built homes. The same 4x6 exterior walls etc. as well as upgraded plumbing and electrical. The best manufacturers offer hardwood floors, clearstory windows, skylights, vaulted ceilings, large beautiful kitchens and lovely bathrooms and all the other bells and whistles. Work with a broker who understands and has experience working with manufactured homes and with the lenders who loan on them.

Nonprofit puts on annual activism camp By SARAH SCHWARZ For The Beachcomber
The fifth annual Localize This! Action Camp begins today, a week-long camp that organizers call an opportunity to learn, teach and share for those interested in political action. The six days of workshops and events, put on by the Backbone Campaign, will take place at the AYH Ranch Hostel today though August 5. “There are 70 to 100 organizers, and activists coming from around the country. Rarely does this happen,” said Bill Moyer, director of the Backbone Campaign. “Whether people are interested in the arts, community issues or political activism it is a great opportunity.” Educators are coming to the camp from Chicago, Portland and all around the Seattle area. Camp organizers say participants, who travel from all around the country, come with varied experiences in a number of areas of activism and community organizing. Some participants will speak of their experiences at panels organized by topic, such as sustainability and art as a form of cultural expression. “We want to feature some people because we want to hear their experiences and their stories,” Moyer said. “It’s important to share strategies and bring people together to help them do the same.” Beyond specific stories, campers will learn the fundamentals necessary for all types of activism. Moyer stressed the importance of teaching non-violent, direct and appropriate
activism techniques that can apply to a myriad of causes. He also spoke of the importance of teaching appropriate reactions to issues. “Whether you’re working on health care or climate change, it’s good to know how to take effective action,” he said. The first Localize This! Action Camp in 2008 focused on protecting Maury Island from the construction of an industrial gravel mine. The camp, along with other island organizations and efforts, helped win the seemingly impossible battle, according to a press release by the Backbone Campaign. Each year, organizers apply the lessons of camp to a case study, Moyer said. Last year’s was about eviction protection, and this year the group will focus on the proposed coal train. The week will culminate in an undisclosed action, taking place on July 5 in Seattle. The campers will put this event together using what they learn from the camp in conjunction with the case study. Moyer said he encourages islanders to get involved, regardless of their prior experience with political action.
Localize This! participants can register for the entire six days or for individual workshops. The schedule and registration are available on www.backbonecampaign. org. There is also a free salmon bake and open house put on by the Backbone Campaign at 6 p.m. Saturday at the AYH Ranch Hostel.

First Friday Gallery Cruise WHAT’S HAPPENING Vashon’s walls will DANCE TO THE MUSIC
A show for reggae lovers The Highlife Band, a reggae group from Seattle, will play a free show at 8:30 p.m. Friday at the Red Bicycle Bistro. The band has toured widely, livening up venues throughout the Northwest, and has two albums to its credit. Expect rhythms from the Spanish and French Caribbean, combined with Jamaican rockers, bif-baf, steppers, one-drop and dancehall reggae traditions. The show on Friday is for all ages until 11 p.m., and after that, 21 and older only.
DIDGERIDOO IT AT VIA
World music is on tap Vashon Intuitive Arts will be the site of a multi-part presentation by a duo of traveling players who describe their performances and workshops as “sonic adventures” designed to evoke a feeling of healing, well-being and spiritual connectedness. The players, Johnna Morrow and Steve Sklar, are well-known in the circles of Himalayan and other exotic music as healers as well as musicians. They play instruments, including guitar, didgeridoo, the igil (a Tuvan horsehead fiddel), Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, flutes and other instruments. Sklar is known as a leading Western teacher and performer of Tuvan throat singing. The duo will present four events at VIA. From 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Sklar and Morrow will give a free demonstration of their music and meet and greet islanders. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, there will be a “sound healing workshop,” where islanders can learn techniques to use Tibetan singing bowls, voice and didgeridoo. The cost of the workshop is $150, but scholarships are available. Call (612) 518-9886 to find out more. At 8 p.m. Saturday, Sklar and Morrow will present what they call a Sound Healing Concert. There is a suggested donation of $20. And from 10 to 11 a.m. on Sunday, the pair will close out their time on Vashon with a guided sound meditation. There is a $10 suggested donation for that event.
SEE IT ON THE BIG SCREEN
It’s a First Friday art film The Vashon Film Society will present dancer Dayna Hanson’s comedic experimental film “Improvement Club” at 9:30 p.m. Friday, the latest installment in its monthly Art Film Series. The film blends elements of musical comedy, dance film and mockumentary as it follows a ragtag Seattle performance group’s ambitious attempt to stage an all-singing, all-dancing re-telling of the American Revolution. Hanson has defined the film as being about “the exhilaration and humiliation of making art in America today.” The film has been screened for large audiences at festivals, including the Seattle International Film Festival and South by Southwest. Admission is $7.

This Friday, August’s monthly Gallery Cruise promises a wealth of all kinds of art to gaze upon, as well as a chance to check out two new galleries (see story, page 1). Most art galleries are open from 6 to 9 p.m. Café Luna will show “Collages of Felines, One Chicken and Synapse Fandangos,” an exhibition of work by painter Anna Witte. The artist, who was born in Germany, grew up in Spain, and since traveled and lived in many countries, draws her inspiration from ancient myths of pre-Hispanic cultures of Latin America, tales from the Middle East, Spanish poetry and other diverse influences.To find out more about Witte’s work, visit her website, www.annawitte.com. Duet will show paintings by Michael Spakowsky and mosaic art and jewelry by Lisa Betz. Hastings Cone Gallery, adjacent to Snapdragon Café and Bakery, will have its grand opening with a show of paintings by island artist Allison Crain Trundle. Trundle received her BFA through the painting program at the University of New Mexico and has shown at galleries throughout the Northwest. Her work can be seen online at www.allisontrundle.com. Heron’s Nest and Two Wall Gallery will both show “Asian Inspired,” a show of work by Ray Pfortner, a well-known island photographer and teacher. The exhibit includes works inspired by Asian gardens in the Northwest and Pfortner’s hometown of New York City. Lanterns, pavements, lattice windows, foliage and even wildlife will be presented in an encaustic format Pfortner has adapted from an ancient Greek technique — he transfers his photographs into warm beeswax, removing the paper to leave images floating magically in the wax. Pfortner’s show is a preview and advertisement for his upcoming photo workshops for all ages at Portland’s Lan Su Garden in August and September, Seattle’s Chinese Garden in August and Japanese Garden in October. For more information, contact Pfortner at raypfortner@gmail.com. The exhibit at Two Wall Gallery will also include work from Pfortner’s recent workshops with FamilyLink from Vashon High School students. Island Artistry (in the space formerly occupied by Ignition Gallery) will have a group show to launch interest in a new artists’ co-op gallery. (See story page 1.) Island Quilter will show work by Art Quilt Sues, a group formed four years ago by members of Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Club in Sequim. The group’s members explore a wide variety of non-traditional quilting, creating wall hangings and garments and offering demonstrations of various fiber arts techniques. Monarch Gallery will have its grand opening in a new space located adjacent to Monarch’s antique showroom, featuring works by Robert
Motherwell, Morris Graves, Cecil Beaton and other artists. Nirvana will feature sculpture by Anthony Kaufmann of 3,000 BC Studios. Kaufmann says his mission is “through the vehicle of stone, provoke a rapture of mystery, to search for the essence of truth, and to explore the ceaseless cycles of birth and death.” Open Space for Arts & Community will continue to exhibit an outdoor sculpture designed Ray Pfortner Photo (top) and Courtesy Photo (above) and built by Ken C. Judd. Works by Ray Pfortner, such as the top photograph above, taken at the Seattle Community Japanese Garden, can be seen at Two Walls Gallery and the Heron’s Nest.

Vashon Allied Arts Gallery’s show, “Figures and Places,” features paintings by Ted Kutscher and bronze figurative sculpture of the female figure by Mike Magrath. Kutscher’s work often reflects the landscapes as varied as Paris street corners, beaches in Kauai or views from atop Burton Hill. Magrath will show works evoking the goddesses Potnia Theron, Aurora and the Black Virgin, as well as smaller works from a series that depicts figures in repose. The island band River Bend will play music at the reception. VALISE Gallery will exhibit “Sticks and Stoneware,” a two-person show of works in wood and clay by Patrick McCormick, Western Washington University professor of art, and VALISE mixed-media artist John
Vashon Intuitive Arts will show “Zen Doodling,” a show of ink drawings by Bonnie Bristow. After graduating from Vashon High School in 1981, Bristow raised two sons and returned to school to become a nurse. This last year, while listening to an extended lecture she had heard many times before, she found herself doodling on her tablet. She sent a copy of her drawing to her mother, local artist Geri Peterson, who encouraged her work. Bristow has now created a large body of work. Vashon Senior Center on Bank Road will exhibit Kristin Reitz Green’s oil still life paintings of food, animals and tableaus. Vashon Tea Shop will show Piro Kramar’s photographs from her mountaineering ski trips and other hikes. Vashon Tile Company will show work by tile artist David Blad.

A concert by noted players is for a good cause By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Staff Writer
A concert featuring critically acclaimed composers from Vashon and Seattle will take place at 8 p.m. Saturday, at the Open Space for Arts & Community. The show, featuring genre-busting Northwest music icons Robin Holcomb, Wayne Horvitz and Bill Patton, as well as Vashon composers and players Jessika Kenney and Eyvind Kang, is a benefit for Vashon’s Interfaith Council to Prevent Homelessness and Vashon Youth & Family Services. It’s being presented by Vashon Island Sessions and Mike Dumovich, a local singer/songwriter who said he was motived to help the two agencies because they had recently helped him through difficult times. VYFS and the Interfaith Council are nonprofits that provide a wide range of services including counseling, rent assistance and vouchers for travel, prescription medications, food, utilities, education, and many other basic needs. In 2012, they helped over 300 households and 400 individuals meet these needs while also providing education and drug and alcohol counseling. “It can be a really demeaning process to ask for help, and some agencies don’t treat you with a great deal of dignity,” Dumovich said. “Both [VYFS and the Interfaith Council] are honest and treat you with dignity and do what they can. Honest and super kind are a really good combination.” Dumovich said he was excited to work with islander Debra Heesch, founder of Vashon Sessions, to arrange for such an accomplished group of artists to play together in concert on Vashon. Horvitz, the prolific player and composer, has worked with a laundry list of acclaimed players and produced
records by several Grammy award-winning and nominated musicians. His compositions have been commissioned by the Kronos Quartet, The Brooklyn Academy of Music and Earshot Jazz Festival, and he has been the recipient of grants from several organizations, including the National Endowment for the Arts. Holcomb, a pianist and songwriter who is known for her merging of avant guard jazz, classical compositions and Americana and folk, has released several albums. She also appeared on the Bill Frisell’s seminal record “Nashville” and many other recordings. The New York Times has called her music as “elegantly simple as a Shaker Quilt, and no less beautiful.” Eyvind Kang, the Vashon-based viola player and composer, has played on records from Bill Frisell, Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed, Mike Patton, John Zorn, Laura Veirs, Beth Orton and Beck. As a composer, he has put out more than 20 recordings, exploring music that swings between jazz, avant guard, metal, folk and eastern music. Kenney, who is married to Kang, is a singer who is committed to traditional music, notably Persian and Javanese, and is one of the few non-Persians to achieve as much renown with her work, performing and recording with Ostad Hossein Omoumi. She has also collaborated with

The show has been performed throughout the United States and internationally. It received rave reviews, including one from the New York Times, which described it as “a cross between ‘Yellow Submarine’ and Dr. Seuss.” For more information about the show and Taylor’s music, visit www.gustaferyellowgold.com.

New clothing line encourages self empowerment Islander sells her apparel out of iconic island building By SARAH SCHWARZ For The Beachcomber
It is clear from first glance that there is a message behind “The President of Me.� The casual clothing shop in the Old Fuller Store, which has celebration flags and a woman with foliage hair out front, opened July 5. “I didn’t open the store to be in the garment business,� said owner Rebecca Wittman. “I did it because I feel strongly about the concept that we hold on to our personal power in this life if we learn to take responsibility for our own actions.� This philosophy guides the line. Every piece is meticulously thought out in order to best express the manifesto, which is even sewn into the inside of some garments. Her clothes are simple and causal. She has three requirements for a piece to be part of the line. “A piece must afford an opportunity to carry the message. It has to be quality goods — it has to be a fabric that I would want to wear and that won’t fall apart. And, it has to be a very classic piece of clothing,� she said. Wittman moved her design studio and store into the Old Fuller Store building last month, and previously sold her garments through Common Thread. Wittman describes her resume before begining the line as similar to a Jackson Pollock painting. “It’s evidence of great energy even though it’s a little hard to decipher,� she said. She began sewing as a young child, making her own clothing. She worked professionally in the garment business in her 20s, studied opera and jazz in college, sang professionally for about five years, owned a yacht refinishing business, wrote two books in conjunction with that business, did marketing design and worked in real estate for about 10 years before moving to the island and beginning work on The President of Me about eight years ago. Upon moving to Vashon, Wittman spent a couple years trademarking what she needed for her line so she would be legally prepared. It wasn’t until that was finished that she began the four-year process of designing the line. This exemplifies the preparation and thought Wittman has put into the brand.

“The Key to Your Storage Needs�
Sarah Schwarz Photo
Rebecca Wittman, pictured with the mannequin outside her store, opened The President of Me July 5 in the Old Fuller Store. Customers will notice a stick figure design on many of the garments. Wittman said his name is Zeteticus, meaning “seeker of the truth� in old Latin. All the items are black, white or grey. The black and white symbolize truth and lies, while the grey represents the necessary compromise in life. The only color is found in Zeteticus’ orange hat, which she said represents possibility, opportunity and energy. “If a person travels this world enough, you learn that the black and white of truth has to have a little bit of compromise,� she said.

Wittman said the line will continue to grow and develop, though it will remain casual and easy to wear. Although her hours are not set in stone, she tries to be open to the public Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursday from noon to 7 p.m. On weekends, she tries to only be open on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., but is sometimes open on Sundays as well. Other days are reserved for her to sew, but since the studio and shop are one, she may let the occasional customer in on those days as well.

to another location, meaning there were no cars on deck when temperatures began to rise. “If cars would have been on the boat, their tires would have been melting,â€? he said. He also remembers in 2002 when Springer, an orphaned orca took a special liking to Vashon, and in particular the Evergreen State, which Wilson sailed at the time. He saw the young whale almost daily for months. “That was a very unique experience for all of us,â€? he said. But one day that especially stands out for Wilson is Inauguration Day 1993, when a fierce, record-setting storm hit the region and at one point shut down every ferry route in the system except the triangle route. Wilson’s boat battled large waves and gusts of up to 70 mph. “It was deemed not a risk to life. ‌ We

becoming a captain at 40. After spending eight years on the south end of Vashon sailing the now-retired Rhododendron, which he called his “favorite boat in the whole fleet,� Wilson has been on the Issaquah, one of the larger boats on the north end, for the last dozen years. And even after decades on the ferries, the back-and-forth nature of the system has never gotten old, he said. “You never know what the day may hold,� he said. One day in the 1990s held an emergency when a woman jumped overboard and was rescued by the crew; another held a serious engine room fire. When the fire began, Wilson happened to be moving the boat
were taking some serious waves on the car deck,� he said. Through it all, the easygoing captain with a quick laugh has kept his cool, he said, and was never concerned for the safety of his boat. He described himself as comfortable but vigilant at the helm, especially when he considers everything he carries on the large ship. “It’s like a floating city, really,� he said. Unlike some ferry captains, Wilson said, he feels he can relate to the commuters he transports. He and his wife are part of a Jehovah’s Witness congregation in Tacoma and also volunteer regularly at a deaf school there, taking them off the south end of the island about four times a week. “I know what it’s like to be the first car not to make it on the boat,� he said. “I know what it’s like to be one minute late,� he said. For that reason, Wilson said, he tends to have a little bit of compassion before he

pulls away. “I say ‘We’ll take that guy.’ It might have been me, or it might have been my neighbor,� he said. Next month, Wilson and his wife will tell their Vashon neighbors goodbye when they retire to Santa Fe, New Mexico. The move feels bittersweet, he said. He and his wife will miss Vashon, but they are looking for a sunnier spot and are also interested in volunteering at a deaf school there. “Everything the Puget Sound is, Santa Fe is not,� he said. What he’ll miss most about his days on the sound, however, is a sense of serving his neighbors, he said. He and his wife have lived on Vashon for 20 years, and he’s gotten to know many of the people he transported daily on the ferry. “It feels good to take my neighbors back and forth,� he said. “It feels better than mass transit.�

8 Year old Kona had a rough beginning - you can read his story on VIPP.ORG‌ Here is a little taste: My talents are many: I run and prance after balls, I can be playful and goofy, I am smart and take well to training, I do good on a leash, love going for car rides and am fine being left alone - of course, you must come back, right? So now you are wondering why I haven’t found the right place? I can’t tolerate other dogs very well - I guess maybe I get so jealous and want to protect my position - or maybe (and a Rottie should NOT be saying this) I am just afraid. Whatever. But here’s the thing, I think someone who knows what they are doing, could train me to leave ‘em be and just mind my own business. Really and truly. I can do that — just work with me. I need to love someone. Is it you?â€?
