County plowing reductions could affect island in a snowstorm Vashon service not reduced, but backup is no longer available By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer

Park board candidate Stephen Evans speaks at last week’s forum. Other park board candidates, from left, are Lu-Ann Branch, Doug Ostrom, Robin Magonegil, Scott Harvey and John Hopkins.
Park board hopefuls make their cases Roughly 90 people turned out last Thursday to hear the views of six islanders running for three seats on the Vashon Park District board and two candidates vying for a spot on the Water District 19 board. Most of the two-hour forum at the Penny Farcy center was given over to the public to ask questions of park district candidates. Incumbents Lu-Ann Branch and John Hopkins are both running for re-election to the board, challenged by Stephen Evans and Scott Harvey, respectively. Newcomers Doug Ostrom and Robin Magonegil are vying for the seat that will be vacated by commis-
sioner David Hackett. Throughout the forum, the contenders all spoke of the need for change at the district, which has experienced significant financial difficulties and a turbulent few years. While the candidates boast a variety of backgrounds, they voiced common themes and common priorities, including the need for greater transparency, community outreach and financial accountability at the agency. For profiles of each park board candidate and highlights from the forum, see page 19.
Vashon could see less snowplowing service this winter, as county budget cuts mean road workers from the mainland can no longer back up Vashon’s small snow removal crew during a widespread storm. “We’re planning for a little less, but hoping for full coverage on Vashon,” said Brenda Bauer, director of the King County Road Services Division, which provides snow and ice removal services in unincorporated King County. “You can get pretty isolated our there,” Bauer said, referring to Vashon. “That isolation and the challenge the rest of the county faces means there won’t be anyone
riding to the rescue.” The roads division recently announced that towns across unincorporated King County will see more roads go unplowed in the event of a major snowstorm this winter, as it plans to reduce its snow and ice removal services by two-thirds compared to recent years. The agency released a map showing that only the highest priority highways and arterials will see plowing, sanding and de-icing in the event of a countywide storm. On Vashon, the outlook isn’t quite so bleak, Bauer said. Since Vashon is somewhat isolated and the island’s road maintenance crew is already small, she said, staffing hasn’t been reduced here in years and snow removal services will remain the same. However, should one or more of the island’s seven county road workers be unable to get to work in a SEE PLOWING, 18
A HOMETOWN CELEBRATION Vashon High School’s annual Homecoming celebration again drew hordes of teens, families and community members to the high school stadium to see the Pirates battle it out over the pigskin. The school’s spirit week concluded with a halftime celebration, parade of high school royalty and, of course, the crowning of the Homecoming king and queen. This year due to construction at the high school, students couldn’t put on a full parade with floats on the track around the football field. Nonetheless, they paraded royalty voted on by students in a halftime show, and this year, with help from the Vashon Maury Island Chamber of Commerce, students revived an old Vashon tradition and paraded through town the afternoon before the game, when they were greeted with green and gold balloons and skull-and-crossbone flags outside many local businesses. The night ended with a disappointing loss on the field to Charles Wright Academy, but the Pirates recovered in time to enjoy a homecoming dance the next evening at the Vashon Golf & Swim Club.

Ferries to add staff after cancelled sailings More than 30 trips on Vashon routes were missed one day last month The state ferry system plans to add more than 40 additional crew members after staffing shortages caused 82 cancelled sailings so far this year. Marta Coursey, a spokeswoman for Washington State Ferries (WSF), said that since the U.S. Coast Guard ordered minimum staff numbers on some ferries be increased last fall and again this spring, the system has struggled to maintain the crew levels required to sail. When staff members call in or fail to show up for work and a replacement can’t be found quickly, runs are often cancelled. “This has been especially true during our busy summer season,” Coursey said in an email to The Beachcomber. The staffing issues came to a head last month, when both of Vashon’s ferry routes were affected by staffing shortages. On Saturday, Sept. 7, 31 one-way trips were cancelled on the Fauntleroy-Vashon-
Southworth route and the Point DefianceTahlequah route due to staffing shortages. So far this year, there have been 48 oneway sailings cancelled on the north-end triangle route and 16 trips cancelled on the Point Defiance route. Coursey said WSF tries hard to fill shifts when there are staffing shortages. Dispatchers make 300 calls a day on average to fill shifts, she said, and on that weekend in September they made nearly 800 calls. After the missed runs on Sept. 7, Secretary of Transportation Lynn Peterson called for WSF to add 45 deckhand positions, according to a report in The Seattle Times. Some deckhands who were originally brought on only for the summer will be now be retained by WSF, and 15 additional deckhands will be hired. Deputy Chief Captain George Capacci said the boats will maintain the same staffing levels, but the additional hires should help prevent cancelled sailings as there will be more deckhands to call upon in a shortage. — Natalie Johnson

The 3rd quarter hosted surprises in our local real estate market, notably, a slowdown in sales, most likely due to the rise in interest rates, the beginning of fall (and fall weather) and the political climate in Washington. In September alone, only four properties received, accepted, and sustained successful contracts to close soon. This is a significant slowdown from the speed and excitement of the second quarter. For the last two years, we have had an active fall and winter. With hope, this fall and winter will follow suit, which will set us up for a strong start in 2014. Up to $350,000, 53 home sales closed (last year 64). Between $400,000 and $750,000, 52 home sales closed (last year 28— the middle is coming alive!). Finally, at $750,000+, 14 home sales closed (last year eight). The middle and high end market are showing significant improvements in numbers sold, and speed of sale. This year we have had 280 new listings and 131 closed sales; last year 251 new listings and 108 closed sales.

Island group localizes election issues, campaigns for I-522 By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
As islanders prepare to vote on local and statewide measures, a group of residents is working to educate voters on food-related issues and is encouraging them to vote yes on Initiative 522. If passed, the initiative would require genetically engineered food to be labeled accordingly when sold in Washington state. I-522 has received a great deal of attention in recent months, including on Vashon, where the group of roughly a dozen people, called Vashon Volunteers for I-522, has hosted informational tables at the grocery stores, brought a documentary about the issue to the Vashon Theatre and talked to island restaurant owners about the food they serve. On Friday, the group will present an evening of music and information, featuring presentations by a variety of islanders as well as Cindy Black, a prominent Seattle I-522 organizer. Several in the new Vashon group belonged to the Vashon Food Security Group some years back, and this issue became important to them long before it became an initiative. “A number of us felt there is no greater security than the purity of the food that we eat,” said Sheila Brown, now a stalwart of the local I-522 group. When she and others in the group talk with people about the initiative, Brown said, they share a variety of reasons they support a ‘yes’ vote. Consumers have a right to know what is in their food, she said, and there are health and environmental reasons for not eating food that has been genetically
engineered, including a spike in allergies and inflammatory digestive disorders. Opponents of the initiative say that biotechnology has helped improve food crops in recent decades so that they are more disease resistant, require fewer pesticides and, in some cases, are more nutritious. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has deemed them safe, the opponents say, and new food labeling would prove expensive for taxpayers and consumers. In fact, large trade and biochemical companies, such as industry heavyweights Monsanto, Bayer CropScience and the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association, have contributed so much money to the “no” campaign that the initiative has set a fundraising record. As of Oct. 1, more than $17 million had been donated to the “no” campaign, mostly by out-of-state companies, according to The Seattle Times. In comparison, I-522 proponents have raised slightly less than $5 million. For many supporters, opposition funding raises red flags on its own. “Why are they spending so much money to keep us from knowing what is in our food?” Brown asked. Among the Vashon group’s concerns is food safety, Brown said. There have been no studies of humans eating genetically engineered food over decades, she said, and the FDA relies not on independent tests, but on tests by the companies themselves. It is a concern that many islanders seem to share. At Thriftway, shoppers have likely spotted “non-GMO” (genetically modified organisms) stickers, which store manager
Clay Gleb said they put up in response to shoppers’ requests over the past year and a half. The store is also stocking more food made without genetically engineered ingredients, as well as offering a large selection of organic food, which cannot contain genetically modified ingredients. “We have had a good amount of demand from customers,” Gleb said. Joanne Jewell farms organically with her husband Rob Peterson at Plum Forest Farm, and both will speak to some of the issues at the gathering on Friday, including just how common GMO ingredients are — estimated to be in 70 to 80 percent of the food people in this country eat. Jewell talked last week about a recent grocery shopping trip when she was especially alert to GMO products. “They were in every single thing my kids like,” she said. “Even in the seaweed, which had canola oil.” She also pointed out that more than 60 countries require labeling of foods that contain genetically engineered ingredients. “It’s time to change,” she said. Restaurants and delis are exempt from I-522, but recently Ivy Sacks, a member of the Vashon group, talked to about half of the island’s restaurant owners about the
foods they choose to use. In part, she said, the effort was an attempt to raise awareness about the GMO issue and to get a feel for what restaurants on the island are doing. Sacks found that three island restaurants serve almost 100 percent non-GMO food: Pure, a vegan cafe; Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie in its takeout items and Café Luna. Typically, Sacks said, oil is the hardest non-GMO food item for restaurants to use because of cost. Looking to the informational event Friday, Jewell said she and her husband plan to speak about how the Washington State Farm Bureau is supporting a “no” vote on the initiative, but the group does not represent all farmers. “I am incensed they are taking that position,” she said, noting that many of the state’s wheat farmers do not want GMO wheat to be grown, as doing so would lower the value of Washington wheat. It is unclear which way the election will go, she said, but even if the initiative fails, farmers on the island will continue doing what they have been doing. “We are not going to be intimidated by Monsanto,” she said.
A Vashon music jam and community presentation about I-522 will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at the Land Trust Building. Island musicians John Browne, Paul Colwell, Pat Reardon, Ron Cook and the Free Range Folk Choir will perform at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m. featured speakers will include Eva de Loach, owner of the Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie and The Minglement; Ina Whitlock, a poet, mother and grandmother, Joanne Jewell and Rob Petersen, organic farmers; and Cindy Black of Seattle Volunteers for I-522.

Restaurant owners hope donations will help keep their doors open Zombiez has been hit by drop in business, unexpected costs By SARAH LOW Staff Writer
After only a year in business, Zombiez has fallen on hard financial times, and the owners are cutting back the restaurant’s hours and looking to the community to help keep its doors open. The burger joint, billed as a “fast, slow food diner� by its owners, is beginning its sophomore year with an uncertain future. Corlean Payne, who owns the restaurant with her husband Jim Hassell, explained that the business recently took several unexpected financial blows. “We’ve had unexpected equipment issues, then two managers left suddenly, which meant we needed more staff on to help train someone else, and there was a much more dramatic drop-off in business heading in to the fall than we were expecting,� she said. “It’s like a perfect storm of financial strain.� Now, the couple is looking to raise up to $10,000 on the crowd-funding website CrowdTilt to help bridge their financial gap. Unlike KickStarter, a crowd-funding site for new businesses or ventures only, CrowdTilt is open to any business or fundraiser and will not charge donors until a set minimum goal has been reached. Zombiez set its minimum goal — the amount it must raise by the end of the month — at $3,000 and its target goal at $10,000. As of Monday, the fundraiser had brought in $2,445 in donations.

Zombiez owners, struggling with financial strain, offer islanders fast, slow food in their colorful restaurant downtown. Payne and Hassell opened the colorful beach- and zombie-themed eatery in the space that formerly housed Zoomies Burgers and Ice Cream last year, citing a desire to create a family friendly atmosphere and menu. Since then, the two say, they have worked hard to make the restaurant a going concern, offering fresh food made with local ingredients, expanding their gluten-free and vegan offerings, continuing to refurbish the place themselves and even reopening the drivethrough after people complained that the passenger-side drive-up window had closed. “It’s backwards, but that’s the county.� Payne said. “King County won’t allow cars

to back up on to the main road, which they would if they drove in the usual way. So they have to come in from the back.� They’ve also attempted to cut costs. Family members have been helping with decorating and remodeling; the iPads they use for taking orders and payments were all donated by friends and family, and the couple is buying much of their ingredients themselves now, since they discovered that going through a buyer increased their costs significantly. “We buy everything locally that we can,� Payne said. “Part of our plan has always been that our food is all fresh, local, and made by us by hand. We could certainly save money on ingredients, but we don’t want to give up that vision.�
The couple used every resource they had to open the restaurant last year, Payne said, and though they didn’t take on debt, they are now in a position where they cannot pay all of their current bills. Payne said that other businesses in the community have been supportive and are giving them time to settle their bills. “The Roasterie, Palouse Winery and Wagons of Steel have all been very patient with us and really great to work with,� she said. Now, the business owners plan to cut back on the restaurant’s hours, something Payne said will also enable the family to spend more time in the community. Beginning this weekend, Zombiez will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday through Monday and close Tuesday through Thursday. They may add some private dinners during those times to bring in revenue. “Jim is a classically trained chef,� Payne said. “That closed time will give him the opportunity to use those skills more extensively for private or business functions and fundraisers.� Payne said she and her husband were feeling hopeful about the CrowdTilt fundraiser, stressing that they didn’t want to resort to laying off employees. “It’s week-to-week right now,� she said. “The employees know, and after our kids, they are our priority. We want to make sure they can work and get paid.� Whatever the outcome of the fundraiser, Payne insisted that they would find a way to keep the restaurant open. “We have three kids, we have employees, we have to keep going,� Payne said. “We are resourceful and we’ll do what we can.�

Did you know?
Dry mouth can lead to tooth decay. Saliva plays a very important role in protecting the teeth from acid in the mouth. When carbohydrates are consumed, they are converted into acid by bacteria in the mouth. The water and mineral content of saliva serves to wash away acid and rebuild tooth structure. Unfortunately, as we age, saliva flow decreases and many common medications cause dry mouth. Check with your doctor, dentist or pharmacist to find out if your medications cause dry mouth so that an appropriate preventive regimen can be established.
Genetically engineered food actually contains increased amounts of toxic herbicides and pesticides, possibly creating serious allergic response in both adults and children.

Let’s pay attention to who hunts at Island Center Forest Last weekend, a large portion of Island Center Forest closed for a hunting season that will extend through the rest of the month. While we’re open to the idea of deer hunting at the forest, we’re also concerned when we look at the results of last year’s hunt, when very few Vashon residents hunted at the forest and few deer were taken. This season marks the second year of a five-year pilot project by King County to determine if hunting makes sense at this popular forest. So far, at least, it seems that it doesn’t. When the county initiated a limited deer hunt at Island Center Forest two years ago, many raised concerns. A centrally So far it seems as though located, 360-acre expanse we’re closing a beloved with nine miles of wellVashon forest, one maintained trails, Island Center Forest is arguably supported by King County tax dollars, so that hunters one of the best and most spots on the island from Pierce County can use it. popular for hiking, cycling and horseback riding. It’s also bordered by residences, prompting worries among homeowners about hunting season. But, as county officials pointed out, hunting has historically occurred at the site and it’s the last public land on Vashon where it could be allowed. What’s more, the hunt could help control Vashon’s unhealthily large deer population. The county moved forward, and in October of 2011, 61 people registered to hunt at Island Center Forest and eight deer were harvested. Only six of the hunters, however, were from Vashon. Last fall, the hunt drew 38 registered hunters, seven of whom were from Vashon, and just four deer were taken. The bulk of the hunters last year, as it turns out, were from Pierce County. So far it seems as though we’re closing a beloved Vashon forest, one supported by King County tax dollars, so that hunters from Pierce County can use it. We’ve heard from locals that the dense forest actually isn’t ideal for hunting, as deer prefer to browse in more open areas, and so far it seems that’s true. The harvesting of a handful of bucks will have little impact on their population here. In many ways, October, sandwiched between the busy summer months and the cold winter ones, would be an ideal time for many islanders to take advantage of the warren of trails at Island Center Forest. In recent years, King County as well as the Vashon land trust and other local volunteers have gone to great lengths to make the forest even more appealing to users, restoring some areas, adding trail signs and even installing an impressive picnic shelter. We’re glad that the county is once again keeping the 40-acre Gateway and 81-acre Natural Area properties on the eastern portion of Island Center Forest closed to hunting and open for recreational use, but we suspect many will still steer clear of the whole area while hunting occurs nearby. Unless more locals take advantage of this hunt, or more deer are harvested, we think the county should consider returning this valuable place to islanders.

Going pink: Breast cancer awareness needs some awareness of its own It’s October, which means the annual onslaught of pink and pink ribbons is upon us — it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is a time when pink is everywhere. You can find anything from food items to automotive supplies, kitchen utensils to your favorite football team’s gear, in pink or at least emblazoned with that ubiquitous pink ribbon. In some places you can even have a pink garbage truck come and haul your trash. Breast cancer is terrible. As far as cancers go, it is second only to lung cancer in the number of women who die from it every year, so what could be wrong with raising awareness and supporting organizations that are trying to fight it? The majority of organizations that promote breast cancer awareness push the message that early detection and screening saves lives. But this is not conclusively supported by research. In November of 2012, the New England Journal of Medicine published a large scientific survey that looked at the results of three decades worth of screening data. The survey showed that mammograms are not quite the lifesavers everyone had hoped they’d be, and beyond that, they could be causing more problems than they’re solving. As it turns out, mammograms are really good at finding nonlethal and treatable tumors, and not so good at detecting the deadliest and most aggressive type of breast cancer. The National Institutes of Health does not even recommend yearly mammograms for women in their 40s due to the disproportionate number of both false negatives and positives that occur in younger women. This is not the information we are fed by these campaigns. Another large survey found that for every 2,000 women screened annually over a decade, 10 healthy women will be diagnosed as having cancer and unnecessarily treated. Chemotherapy itself has life-threatening side effects and increases the risk of developing other cancers, while surgery carries various risks and complications of its own.
HEALTH MATTERS By SARAH LOW Mammography can be both beneficial and harmful, and we should be aware of the realities, not just the hype. Because of the overstated benefits that are promoted so heavily, many women believe that screening early and often will actually prevent them from getting breast cancer, an ironic misconception given the potential dangers. The scientific community suggests that screening every other year starting at age 50 would be more effective and less problematic, and those falling outside of these parameters who want to be screened should be made aware of the potential risks and lack of reliability to make more informed choices. Along with an outdated and misleading message, breast cancer awareness has spawned a juggernaut of corporate greed. Cashing in on the public’s desire to help, corporations manipulate us in to spending money on anything for the cause. Unfortunately many of the companies that offer awareness items have a predetermined limit on the amount that they will donate, regardless of how many items they sell. It’s possible that they reach that amount within days of beginning the campaign, but they continue to sell the products beyond that, leading consumers to believe that they are contributing to the charity when making a purchase, when in reality they are not. There are companies that lie about being affiliated with cancer charities or organizations, with last year’s most egregious example being the pink-trimmed handgun that Discount Gun Sales claimed was affiliated with the Komen Foundation, when no such relationship existed. Others, being at best ignorant and at worst disingenuous, are the companies that sell awareness prod-

ucts that can potentially increase the risk for cancer or contain ingredients that can cause it. Good examples of this are alcohol (Mike’s Hard Pink Lemonade), some cosmetics and perfumes and Yoplait Yogurt (before they removed recombinant bovine growth hormone from their products.) And I would be remiss for not mentioning the NFL and the corporate behemoth that is their Crucial Catch campaign. You don’t see the sea of pink on the field during Thursday night games. There’s a small ribbon on a coach’s jacket, a mention at the end of the game, but on Sundays and Monday nights, the big viewing days with the biggest sponsor payouts, it’s like someone threw Pepto Bismol over everything. They also divert attention away from prevention strategies that could affect their corporate relationships — on their campaign information page, they talk about healthy lifestyle choices and preventing cancer, without a single mention of alcohol. Cut to beer commercial in 3, 2, 1... All of this being said, money is still being put in to research by most of these organizations, and for every 10 of those 2,000 women that are diagnosed and treated unnecessarily, there is one whose life is prolonged. So at the end of the day, you might think as long as these charities are still getting money and some people’s lives are still being saved, what does it matter? It matters that there is misinformation and potential harm. It matters that so much of the focus is on early detection and almost none on those with active, metastatic disease. It matters that while money is going to research, the majority of funds raised by many of these campaigns goes straight back into the awareness campaigns themselves, making that the default goal. We’re aware. What we need is to shift the money to where it’s really needed: effective treatment, support services for those with lethal disease and their families and breast cancer prevention. We are aware. Are they? — Sarah Low is a reporter at The Beachcomber.

Islanders instrumental in shutting Tacoma smelter down LETTERS Landmark case changed precedents, stopped local pollution
ISLAND HISTORY By BRUCE HAULMAN
Reading the article in last week’s Beachcomber about the state of Washington’s effort to test and clean up 700 Vashon-Maury Island homes, (“State begins wide soil cleanup effort, Oct. 9”) caused me to reflect on the debt of gratitude we owe three heroic islanders who made this all possible. Thirty years ago, a district court found in favor of Mike and Marie Bradley and their attorney Bill Tobin and against ASARCO. The case Bradley v. ASARCO claimed trespass by the ASARCO smelter at Point Defiance for depositing arsenic and other heavy metals on Mike and Marie’s Vashon Island property near the Tahlequah Y. Two years later the Washington Supreme Court upheld this judgment, and the long road to this month’s testing and cleanup project began. The ASARCO smelter opened in 1880 as the Tacoma Milling and Smelting Company along the waterfront east of Point Defiance.
In 1889 it was purchased by William R. Rust (after whom the Town of Ruston was named) who converted it to a copper smelter and then sold it in 1905 to the American Smelting and Refining Company (ASARCO), which built the main smelter stack, the tallest in the world at the time. An even larger stack was built in 1917, and it is these stacks that became the source of the airborne pollution that Mike and Marie decided to fight. As a result of the Bradley case, the smelter ceased operations in 1985, and the stack was brought down in 1993 as the effort to clean up the ASARCO site got under way. The plume from the smelter stack could be clearly seen heading for Vashon-Maury Island, carried by the prevailing winds. In fat, an aerial photo taken of
this area in 1940, the Tacoma Narrows, Point Defiance, Dalco Passage and Vashon-Maury Island can all be clearly seen, and just as clearly seen is the plume of smoke from the smelter stack drifting northward toward VashonMaury Island, towards Browns Point off to the right and towards Normandy Park, Des Moines and Burien. All these areas are currently being tested and cleaned. The Clean Air Act of 1973 led to many local authorities beginning to regulate emissions from industrial sites. Public hearings sought to establish limits on emissions of arsenic and other heavy metals, but ASARCO was granted exemptions, which led to Mike and Marie’s decision to fight in the courts. They asked attorney Bill Tobin to represent them, and in 1983 the case of Bradley v. ASARCO began. Mike and Marie argued that ASARCO’s emissions constituted trespass and nuisance. ASARCO argued that when the trespass was indirect, as in this case, because the heavy metals and arsenic were not directly deposited by ASARCO but by the wind, the legal definition of trespass did not apply. The court ruled that the concept

I-522
Vote ‘no’ and keep government small In response to the “Vote Yes on I-522” op-ed in The Beachcomber recently, (“Know what’s in your food, vote ‘yes’ on I-522,” Oct. 9) who could possibly be against better labeling and consumer information? I’m not a big seed or chemical company, and I don’t work for one, but I can think of a few reasons to vote no on I-522. Like you, I’m a consumer, so I’m interested in what’s in my food. But I’ll vote no on I-522, and here is my reasoning. The bill creates a new layer of government to oversee the new labeling and claims. This results in, among other things, more taxes that will cost us our hard-earned dollars. Instead remember that SEE LETTERS, 8

of indirect trespass was obsolete because modern scientific methods could demonstrate the connection between the smelter emissions and the deposits on the Bradley’s property. The Washington Supreme Court upheld this principle in 1985, and the Bradley v. ASARCO case became one of the most important environmental cases in recent times. This case changed nearly a century of legal precedents that did not allow property owners to seek redress for pollution by industries in their area. So, this October, as the state begins to test and clean up properties on Vashon-Maury Island, it is a good time for us to reflect on what led us here and on the heroic actions of three islanders who made this all possible. How two ordinary citizens and their attorney had the courage to hold ASARCO responsible for the pollution it created, and in the process change the laws that had protected industrial polluters for over a century. Thank you, Mike, Marie and Bill.

Q: A:
My real estate broker is really hassling me to get to the escrow office and sign my closing papers. The house doesn’t even close until next week. What’s the rush? I think he’s being pushy and I wanted your opinion.
Your broker is not pushing you. The closing date is the date upon which the transaction is recorded at the County courthouse. In order for that to happen the parties to the transaction, the sellers and buyers, have to sign their documents several days ahead of that closing date. Let me explain how the scenario usually goes in a typical sale. The buyer’s lender plays the major role in the timing of everything. That’s really important to understand. The escrow company can’t prepare closing documents until they get the final loan package from the lender. That means the buyer must be very responsive to whatever the lender asks for. Waiting a few days until you can get around to sending them your latest pay stub, for instance, can put a halt to everything and delay closing. Once the escrow company has the final loan package from the lender, they prepare all of the closing documents. You sign those documents and then the whole package has to go back to the lender for final review. That can take a couple of days. That’s why signing earlier is important. Any delay can shut things down.

I recommend that a buyer be fully preapproved for their loan before they even start looking to buy. That saves a lot of time once you make an offer. Plus, a preapproval letter is generally expected with any offer. Next, once you have an accepted offer, get the documentation requested to the lender as soon as possible. Even if it seems like they just asked for and received those same documents a couple of weeks ago, send them again anyway. I’m not kidding about that! It happens often. The best case is that the buyers and sellers are able to sign everything at the escrow office three days or so before the closing date.

companies are marketing to you, and smart ones are always researching what you want. When you wanted gluten-free foods, companies created and labeled products to meet that demand. The same goes for many other fads and fashions in foods, such as no cholesterol, no highfructose corn syrup or low fat or low sodium foods. Will there be deceptions in labeling? Yes, and there are already laws to deal with false advertising. While you are waiting for companies to relabel products, it is highly likely you will suffer or die of something other than genetically engineered foods. Although we all want the purest foods and to make the healthiest food choices, genetically engineered foods clearly need more study before creating a governmentsupported panic against them. If you’ve lived long enough, you’ve seen the cycle of government standing judiciously against eggs, for instance, only to be on the wrong side of that issue a decade later. The same is true of many other foods and issues.

Ferries
Dock operations must become more efficient I agree with Greg Beardsley that the limited through-put of the Fauntleroy ferry dock is a major reason for problems with the triangle route serving Vashon and Southworth. (“Islanders must speak up soon for quality service,� Oct. 9.) However, hiring an officer to direct traffic is just one possible solution. Why not install a traffic light at the end of the dock so that offloading traffic has priority? This would have the bonus of protecting pedestrians crossing busy Fauntleroy Way.  In addition, the ferry system should eliminate one of the tollbooths. This would allow vehicles with tickets to bypass the tollbooth and eliminate waiting

behind vehicles that must purchase tickets. There is nothing more frustrating than getting stuck behind a driver who needs a ticket when the ferry you hoped to catch is about to depart.  Since adding a second slip to the Fauntleroy dock is not going to happen, the ferry system needs to figure out how to be more efficient. These two changes would help. — Susan Doerr

Changes are needed to ensure smooth sailing The ferry system for Vashon won’t change until some things are changed. 1. The Fauntleroy Environmental Association must be shown that improvement to the Fauntleroy dock will help alleviate traffic problems on Fauntleroy Way. 2. The second ferry slip that was funded in 1978 must be built. 3. A stoplight needs to be installed at the end of the dock on Fauntleroy Avenue. 4. Since the aging Klahowya needs to be run at a lower speed, relocate it to Tahlequah, and reassign the Chetzemoka.
Bundle up with HATS SCARVES and GLOVES from Granny’s Attic.
Since the Chetzemoka needs to be run at a faster speed, it should be assigned to the north-end route for schedule improvements. 5. Remove these bottlenecks, and we’ll have smooth sailing until the cross-sound bridge is built.Â
The Vashon Island Marijuana Entrepreneurs Alliance represents yet another group of opportunists with dollar signs in their eyes trying to reinvent the wheel on Vashon.

Islander Larry Flynn completed the AIDS/LifeCycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles in June of this year, and he recently began raising money to do it again. This is a fully supported seven-day bike ride to raise money and awareness in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Flynn spent eight to 10 hours per day on the bike and brought a contribution of $7,400 from his Vashon supporters with him to the finish line. The ride raised $14.6 million to help displaced and marginalized people living with HIV and AIDS in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Flynn has already registered for next year’s ride. Anyone wishing to sponsor or donate in his name can go to www.AIDSLifeCycle.org and find his page by his name and rider number, which is 1036.

T
he blockbuster musical that sprang to life in 1981, “Cats,” is finally coming to Vashon this weekend, 32 years after its stunning debut on London’s West End, courtesy of Drama Dock’s Youth Theatre Initiative. The production features 41 island teens and young people ages 10 to 22, taking part in all the furry fun of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s ground-breaking show based on T.S. Eliot’s “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.” Through music, dance and theatrical spectacle, the show tells the story of a wild tribe of cats called the Jellicles and includes the monster hit song “Memory,” as well as many other showstoppers instantly familiar to musical theater fans. Elizabeth Ripley, who is a fixture of Vashon’s theater community, has directed the show — her fifth offering to the Youth Theatre Initiative, which she launched in 2010 with a fondly-remembered production of Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods Junior.” Since then, she has directed island youth in “Grease,” “Godspell” and two one-acts, “Alice” and “Chamber Music.” She chose “Cats” this time around, she said, because it was a perfect show for a group of kids she’s gotten to know well through the years. “I was looking at the kids in “Grease” and “Godspell,” and I saw all these incredible dancers,” she said. “I knew “Cats” was a show for them.” Ripley said she was “surprised and terrified” by the number of kids who turned out for auditions for the show, because she is committed to making sure anyone who wants to participate is given the opportunity to do so. “We have a policy, if they come, they are cast,” she said. Because the show is full of dance numbers, Ripley reached out to the community this time around, recruiting four accomplished island choreographers, Elizabeth Schoen, Abby Enson, Claudine Kim-Murphy and Pam Hotchkiss, to stage the complicated dance

One of the cast members, Louisa Moody, has also choreographed a piece in the show. “Our whole purpose is mentoring and bringing on the next generation, so when Louisa asked if she could choreograph, of course we said yes,” Ripley said. Under Ripley’s direction, the Youth Theatre Initiative has evolved over the years to embrace an ambitious mission of nurturing young island performers. “You can take children who are afraid of their own shadows and get them out on a stage doing something they didn’t think they could ever do,” she said. “There is nothing else out there like this. It teaches children how to communicate with each other, how to love and support each other. When you work in a theater family, you learn to care about each other.” But beyond her mission to nurture young people, Ripley said she is also eager to bring a great show to island audiences. “If you go to a youth production, you don’t expect good production values, and you expect
to see children,” she said. “If you go to “Cats,” you won’t see any children on the stage. You will see tiny cats and tall cats. It’s epic — the biggest show I’ve ever done in my life.” Ripley expects islanders will turn up in droves to see “Cats” and hopes that the audience might include future donors to the Youth Theatre Initiative. “Cats,” she explained, cost $14,000 to stage, with that expense only partially offset by participation fees, which were waived for more than 25 percent of the cast members. Fundraising efforts, including a car wash, helped pay for the production, but the rest of the show must be paid for by ticket sales. “We are looking for an angel to help support what we do,” she said. “Cats” will be performed at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at the Vashon High School theater. Tickets, $15 general, $10 for Drama Dock members and $5 for youth and seniors, are on sale at the door and at the Vashon Bookshop.

A new sketch comedy troupe offers up stories, songs and laughs Group is back for a sophomore show A new island comedy ensemble, the Vashon Hysterical Society, will present an afternoon of sketch comedy and original songs at 4 p.m. Sunday at the Vashon Theatre. Veteran actor Paul Shapiro, a professional clown and founder of Vashon’s Shakespeare in the Park program, has directed the show. Cast members and musicians onstage will include Shapiro, Jeanne Dougherty, Jon Whalen, Bill Wood, Lyn McManus, Adrienne Selvy Mildon, Dianne Krouse, Ellen Parker, Christine Goehring, Stephanie Murray, Marshall Murray, Lisa Breen, Michael Barker and Michael Shook. Audience members can expect a funny, fast-paced show that covers a lot of comedic and musical ground. Musical guest performers that afternoon will be Cami and Erik
Lundeen and The Twisted Sisters, and spoken word guests Jeff and Cindy Hoyt will tell the story of how they came to live on Vashon. Writers for the show are Shapiro, Susan McCabe, Jon Whalen and Richard Rogers. It’s the second time the group has presented a show on Vashon. A few months ago the ensemble presented an afternoon of comedy called “The Plan V Show.” “We really enjoy putting these shows together,” said cast member Jeanne Dougherty. “They fill a creative niche in our lives, and the community really likes the home-grown variety show format.” Tickets to the show, $10, are available at the Vashon Theatre, Vashon Bookshop and www.brownpapertickets.com.

The Nillbillies combine nihilism and a hick sensibility.
A show keeps it weird with cosmic Americana A night that organizers say will be “rooted in traditional American music, warped by the modern American experience and elevated by existential cosmic energy” will take place at 8 p.m. Friday at Red Bicycle Bistro. The night, billed as a “Cosmic Americana Hoedown,” will feature three music ensembles. The first, The Nillbillies, call themselves an “existential bluegrass trio that doesn’t play much bluegrass.” Lead singer and songwriter Steffon Moody, backed by bass player Kevin Almeida and mandolinist Andre Sapp, will sing a highoctane set of comic songs that include ones they have already recorded for YouTube, “Only God Knows,” “Space Monkeys” and “Please Do Not Fear.” The duo Walter and Donny will also take
the stage. Band members Rex McFarlin and Jon Stewart play a mix of Americana pop songs blending alt-country feel and elements of spacerock. Original songs draw influences from the Grateful Dead, stalwarts of outlaw country and a sprinkling of the young John Denver. The final band on the bill, Hominy, calls itself a front-porch blues band embracing acoustic roots and modern sensibilities. Hominy is a quartet, including Pat Reardon, Andre Sapp, Dodd Johnson and Boogie McCloud. Expect guitar, mandolin, drums and random electronics. There’s no cover charge for the show. It’s for all ages until 11 p.m. and 21 and older after that. — Elizabeth Shepherd

Pirates defeated in Homecoming clash By CHERYL COCHRANE
Soccer keeps up the momentum
For The Beachcomber
All roads seemed to end at the Vashon High School stadium as enthusiastic Pirate fans poured in for the annual Homecoming celebration. The football game was the centerpiece of the week’s festivities, which included a pep rally, chamber of commerce-sponsored parade, powderpuff football game and the traditional awarding of the Homecoming court. The Senior Recognition Ceremony at the game honored 11 senior players, three cheerleaders and their families. This year’s celebration highlighted seniors with deep Vashon roots, including four generations of Brennos in the stadium and seven Jovanovich siblings, all of whom have worn Pirate green. VHS took on Charles Wright Academy for the Homecoming game, and the Pirates put forward several impressive plays but ultimately fell to the Tarrieres, 42-21. The Vashon players thrilled their hometown crowd with a powerful start, controlling much of the first quarter’s play. An impressive 23-play drive down the field ended with a Pirate touchdown by Ezra Ende and extra point by Austin Heit. The hungry Tarriers shot back with three quick scores in a row. Although their defense was shaken, the Pirate’s offense held strong, converting three of three fourth downs. Charles Wright answered with

47 seconds left in the game, the energized Pirates regained possession on the 33-yard line. On the next play, Ezra Ende powered through the crowd for another Pirate touchdown. Nick Amundsen tossed off his tackler and crossed the goal line for the final 2 points. Despite rousing the Vashon crowd with their strong finish, the Tarriers had it, 42-21. This Friday the Pirates will travel to Darrington to face the Loggers at 6 p.m.
The Vashon High school girls varsity soccer team continued its successful run through league play last week, vanquishing Cascade Christian at home, 7-0, Tuesday night and coming away with a 2-2 draw at Charles Wright on Thursday. The Pirates played their best all-around game of the year against the Cougars with displays of accurate passing, precise shooting and ball possession. Katherine Andrus opened the scoring by finishing off an excellent cross from Ana de Guzman, one of three assists for the versatile sophomore. Maddie McEachern, another sophomore, followed with a laser from 25 yards off a nice drop pass from her sister Llira. Senior striker Llira joined the act soon thereafter with the first of her three goals, again assisted by de Guzman. Llira’s next goal came at the expense of two Cascade defenders who knocked heads with each other in an unsuccessful attempt to keep up with the twisting Pirate as she set up her shot. Llira and de Guzman hooked up again soon after for a 5-0 lead. The attack on the Cougar goal continued when Mira Jewell-Peterson knocked in a goal from a corner kick, another example of the fine form the Pirates showed. JewellPeterson struck again, finishing a pass from Ellen Chappelka for the final 7-0 score. The Charles Wright game was an intense battle of two heated rivals. The Tarriers were on fire from the opening whistle and scored early, getting behind the defense and finishing a one-on-one with Vashon’s keeper, Kate Atwell, despite her all-out effort. The Pirates took advantage of a penalty kick, awarded for a hand ball by

Safety Garrett Starr almost intercepted a Tarrier pass and leapt to bat down another long throw, but the Pirates couldn’t contain Charles Wright’s offense. A late Tarrier field goal had the Pirates heading into the locker room, down 23-7. The Tarriers came back on the field ready to capitalize on the Pirates’ loss of focus. A Vashon fumble followed by an intercepted pass on the next possession twice put the ball back in Charles Wright’s control. A field goal by the Tarriers
followed by another touchdown brought the score to 33-7. Vashon briefly shone with a beautiful Sam Schoenberg pass to Winter Krimmert for a 22-yard gain, but a fumble returned the ball to the Tarriers, who quickly converted the mishap into another score followed by a two-point safety. Late in the fourth quarter, a long pass to Pirate Teddy Atwell gained a whopping 50 yards. Two plays later, Nate Lawson scrambled 22 yards into the end zone for the touchdown. Vashon wasted no time.

The Tarriers scored again almost immediately with a nice pass and finish against a confused and stunned Pirate defense. The 2-1 score held through the rest of the half and most of second despite constant pressure by the Vashon side. The Pirates held a clear edge in possession, shots and shots-on-goal but were unable to tie the score until Andrus caught up to a through ball from de Guzman and poked in the second Vashon tally. With only minutes remaining in regulation play, Maddie McEachern made a nice run down the right side and laced a shot off of the Tarrier keeper’s hand and over her head. Despite the goalie reaching a full arm’s length past the goal line that she was standing on to reach the ball as it was falling to the ground, no goal was awarded. The rest of regulation and the two five-minute overtime periods passed with the Pirates in clear control but unable to finish the win. The 2-2 draw leaves the Pirates with a 6-2-3 record headed into their lone game this week on Thursday at Life Christian. — Kelly McEachern is a parent and soccer fan.

Vashon rowers rake in the gold at American Lake regatta Island crew rose to the top at the lightly attended regatta By PAT CALL For The Beachcomber
Ringed by beautiful homes dating to the founding of Weyerhauser Corporation, American Lake was also festooned with colorful maples on Sunday, and in sharp contrast to last fall’s regatta there, it provided a smooth rowing venue for Vashon’s crew team. Probably due to the gale that swamped three of the first six eights last fall, leading to the cancellation of the entire regatta, Sunday’s event was lightly attended with a few more than 100 shells competing. Nonetheless, Vashon showed up in force, recording strong times on the 5,000-meter course and winning 14 of the 16 races entered. Head races involve a staggered start, and boats are individually timed from start to finish, meaning that rowers don’t know exactly how they are doing against the competition and simply row their best the whole race. Taking home two varsity gold medals each at the fall classic were Kalie Heffernan, Kirsten Girard, Baxter and Fletcher Call, Jack Mask and Mia Croonquist. Heffernan, Girard and Croonquist were joined by TJ Ripley to win the junior women’s quad race; then Heffernan and Girard teamed up to win the junior women’s double race.

Fletcher Call and Mask (bow) joined Tate Gill (stroke) and Jacob Plihal to win the junior men’s quad with the fifth fastest time of the day (only eclipsed by the junior men’s varsity eight times). Baxter Call won the men’s open single event and then teamed with younger brother Fletcher to win the most competitive event of the day, the junior men’s double, which had seven entries. Mask joined Patrick Hanson, Charles Elliot, Forrest Miller and coxswain Olivia Mackie to win the junior men’s lightweight four. Croonquist won the women’s open single event. Other winning varsity boats were the junior women’s lightweight four with Emily Milbrath
(stroke), Virginia Miller, Shannon Lipe, KaiLi Scheer and coxswain Callie Andrews and the junior women’s four with Halimah Griffin (stroke), Maya Krah, Bryn Gilbert, Taegan Lynch and cox Olivia Mackie. Other gold medal boats were the junior men’s JV quad (Liam McConnell, stroke, Alexander Wright, Eli Sedgemore and Ben Zaglin, bow), the junior women’s novice eight (Riley Lynch, stroke, Te’a Schafer, Oakley Reid, Rhea Enzian, Katrina Heffernan, Lili Helsby, Tabitha Illerbrunn, Adriana Yarkin and coxswain Ally Clevenger), the junior women’s novice four (Lynch, stroke, Miller, Reid, Heffernan and Clevenger) and the women’s masters quad

(Mary Rothermel, stroke, Marilyn Kleyn, Debby Jackson and Su Dewalt, bow). Coach Richard Parr said he was grateful for the excellent rowing conditions and a chance for the team to show the results of its solid practices this fall season. “We have a team of strong veteran rowers and many upcoming competitors who have pushed hard in practice,” he said. “It is great to see some good times leading into our final fall season regattas in Victoria, BC, and the Head of the Lake on Lake Washington over the next three weeks.”

storm, or should a plow or other equipment on Vashon break, the county will no longer be able to provide backup to the island as it has in the past. In those situations, workers would remove snow and ice on only high priority roads, potentially causing delays for emergency workers or utility crews. “Before we may have been able to come in and provide equipment or help,” Bauer said. “Now we’re just not able to do that.” The reduced snow removal services come as the latest cutback in the county roads division’s funding crisis. Since 2009, property values in King County have fallen by more than 40 percent and some unincorporated areas have been annexed into cities.

George Brown, assistant chief of operations at Vashon Island Fire & Rescue, said that the agency sometimes uses its own snowplow — a maintenance truck with a plow blade attached to the front — to access areas during a significant storms. If the county’s plowing was reduced, Brown said, the department would likely have longer response times to car accidents and medical emergencies. “It’s going to affect our response,” he said. Bauer said county officials expect that some in unincorporated King County may decide to take their own plows to the street to pick up where the county has left off. But the county simply can’t condone citizen plowing, she said, as it’s dangerous work and county plow operators receive special training and certification. “It’s not something anybody can do,” she said.

FYI DEATH
Edith Hodgins Edith Hodgins died Aug. 23, 2013. She was born to Dr. H.O. and Edith Howitt in San Rafael, Calif., on May 17, 1921. She graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and was doing graduate work in history while working for the San Francisco Chronicle in 1943, when she met Arthur Hodgins. The two were married shortly thereafter in Bolinas, Calif. The next year their son Hal was born. Following the war, the couple moved to Snohomish County, Wash., where Arthur worked as an electrician at the Weyerhaueser Sulphite Mill in Everett. In the next two years, sons Art and Wayne were born. In 1965, Arthur resumed his maritime career, and Edith began working as a case worker for the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), and later rose to a supervisory position. When she retired, Christine Gregoire, then a co-worker at DSHS in Everett, organized her retirement party. Following her retirement from DSHS in 1985, Edith and Art moved to Grayland, Wash., a decades-long dream of Edith’s. They lived in a home nestled next to two railroad cars in the dunes. Edith quickly became active in the Grayland community, joining the local Lion’s Club
and founding a local parks and recreation district. Edith began a career as an entrepreneur around 1990 when she and Edie Boss began a collectibles store known as Ditto’s, which operated in several locations. Edith loved hosting her grandchildren, Linnea, Sena and Liza Bee, Art and Mary’s daughters; Remy and Rain, Wayne and Laura’s children; and Garrett, Hal and Gretchen’s son, at the beach. They frequently entertained in the Chapel Car 5; Messenger of Peace 1898 railroad car, which is now being restored. Edith’s husband Arthur died in December 2005, and her son Wayne died in 2004. In 2006, Art arranged for Edith to move to Vashon, where he lives. On Vashon, Edith was lovingly cared for, most recently at Island Elder Care, where she died peacefully.

Six say they can bring needed change at the park district Only three can be elected in a race that has gathered significant public attention. Candidates for the board of the Vashon Park District spoke at a public forum last week and talked with The Beachcomber about why they believe they would be an asset to the struggling agency. Watch next week’s paper for information on the race for Water District 19. By Susan Riemer
Position No. 2 Lu-Ann Branch Lu-Ann Branch has served on the park district board for four years and says she would like the opportunity to serve another term to apply what she has learned for improved fiscal responsibility and overall transparency. On the board, Branch, an avid swimmer and athletic coach, has served as a champion of the Vashon Pool, she said. Pools do
Position No. 4 Robin Magonegil R o b i n Magonegi l says that she has a strong sense of what it means to be a public servant, so when a fellow islander asked her to run for an open park commissioner seat, she said yes. Magonegil is the mother of two children, ages 7 and 9, and her family is an avid user of the parks, she said at the candidates’ forum. They are members of the Burton Adventure Recreation Center (BARC); her kids play a variety of sports, which she also coaches, and they also spend time hiking in the local parks and swimming at the public pool. This broad base of interests would serve her well on the board, she said. “I would advocate for a lot, for the island as a whole,” she said in an interview following the forum. Since deciding to run for commissioner in August, she has attended four or five commissioner meetings, she said, and has
not break even, she noted, but the district has made great strides in that direction since taking over its operations from King County in 2010. “Every year we have reduced the cost to the public,” she said at the recent forum. She also noted that her goals include reducing the district’s debt, creating a culture where the board reaches out to the public and creating transparency in everything the district does. Several people commented on the lack of clarity in the district’s financial reporting, and Branch invited anyone with questions to be in touch with her. “The budget details are always available and open to the public,” she said. Branch, who has an MBA in International Business, is currently a triathlon coach and personal trainer. She is the mother of two teenagers, and she and other family members use the parks in a variety of ways, she said, including running and hiking in the parks, playing on a softball team, swimming and playing soccer, activities that
watched clips of several other meetings on YouTube, and said that one of her priorities would be to improve the tone of the meetings. “I am appalled at the way the public is treated,” she said. She has also reached out to several park district constituents, she said, including former executive director Jan Milligan; Scott Bonney, the manager of the Vashon Pool; representatives from the school district and BARC, and Tom Dean, the executive director of the Vashon-Maury Island Land Trust. “A lot of those relationships have soured,” she said. Magonegil has bachelor’s degrees in English, psychology and theology and worked for more than 20 years in the nonprofit social justice field. Currently, she is the assistant to the city planning director in Seattle. In that position, she noted, she attends public meetings frequently. She said she understands accounting, is the treasurer at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit and knows how to read a balance sheet. Looking ahead, she said her priorities include getting the district’s financial house in order and being open to the public. “We need to be very transparent in our dealings, and I am not sure that has happened with this board,” she said. “That has to change.” Magonegil is the only candidate so far to put up yard signs and also promotes her candidacy on Facebook at www.facebook. com/magonegilforvashonparksdistrict.
prompted her to run for the board four years ago. “I felt like it was a good way to give back,” she said. One audience member at the forum asked incumbents Branch and Hopkins why they sometimes voiced opinions counter to their colleagues but then voted with them anyway. Branch said many of those votes involved the fields project, and while she had concerns, she felt it was in many ways too late to vote otherwise. “The train had left the station,” she said. In addition to serving at the district, Branch said she is the president of the board at the Unitarian Fellowship, is on two King County open space advisory groups and has served as a treasurer of other boards in the past.
Stephen Evans Stephen Evans, a patent lawyer, is fairly new to the island and said he chose to run for the parks commission because of the negative information he frequently heard and read about the district. Evans has served in a number of leader-
Doug Ostrom D o u g Ostrom told the crowd at the public forum that often it is one particular interest that makes someone run for a board such as the park district, but in his case it is interest in a broad range of issues that has fueled his desire to serve as a commissioner. “I am interested in representing the entire island,” he said. Ostrom, who has a doctoral degree in economics, is a part-time economics professor, has taught accounting and is the treasurer at his church. In a recent interview with The Beachcomber, Ostrom said that as he has followed the park district, he has been “baffled and distressed” by the financial picture and the board’s decision-making process. He believes his financial background could be helpful, he said, and decided to run. “It looked as though I could make a con-
ship positions, he said, and believes leadership at the park board should improve. “It’s not rocket science to do it well,” he said in a recent interview. “You must have a good mission and know how to manage.” His top priority, he said, is for the board to reengage with the community and regain trust. He hopes to address issues of the past and move forward with transparency and community participation. “It’s the only way forward, I think,” he said. “With that comes trust, bonding and camaraderie … and everything like that, and then really fantastic things are possible.” An additional top priority is fiscal responsibility, he said. At the forum he noted that as a new person to the island, he could bring new visions and new directions to the board, including ideas to involve youth. Since deciding to run for the board, a family obligation has kept him from attending many meetings, but he has watched online clips and frequently talked with people who attended to stay abreast of the issues. One audience member at the forum asked about conflict resolution skills, and Evans noted he is a trained mediator. Part of being successful in conflict, he said, is “knowing when to hold ’em and when to fold ’em.” “At the end of the day, it is about solutions,” he said. Evans created a website for his candidacy, www.vashonparksforall.com, and suggested the domain could one day be used to gather public input for the district.
tribution,” he said. He noted that park users are athletic and unathletic, young and old — with island demographics tipping toward an older population — and the park district should consider those factors in its planning processes. He noted that economics is about making choices and that the district has many properties, such as Jensen Point, Point Robinson and Lisabeula, that are used by many people but less intensively than how a smaller number of people use a project such as the athletic fields. “We have to keep that kind of thing in mind,” he said. Responding to a question at the forum, Ostrom said that the park district budget is constrained by decreased levy funds and considerable money spent at the VES fields, but with time, those constraints will ease. “We do not have short-term flexibility,” he said. “But we do have long-term flexibility.” When it comes to that long-term planning, he said the board should listen and incorporate all stakeholders’ comments. For the short term, he noted the best the board will be able to do is finish the fields project in the most cost-effective manner possible. “What we have to do is make sure (the fields) are usable and have a budget that does not bankrupt us,” he said.

Position No. 5 Scott Harvey S c o t t Harvey, a small business advisor and lender with Fortune Bank in Seattle, said he has based his candidacy on three tenets: inclusion, fiscal responsibility and transparency. The decision to run for the park board came easily, he said. “The board’s a mess,” he said. “I learned a long time ago … if you are not willing to do the work, you have no right to complain.” Harvey, who has an MBA in finance, joined the park district’s Oversight Committee when it formed early this year to provide the district with advice for the VES fields project. In addition to meeting frequently with that group, Harvey said he has
attended about three-quarters of the district’s meetings in the last several months. At the community forum, he said that his priorities would be to bring all district stakeholders to the table and build a reserve of no less than $300,000 to use if needed instead of taking out loans, as has become the district’s common practice. “It is a waste of money to borrow money each year,” he said. He also noted he believes there should be limits on how much money the district can borrow without voter approval. “It is reprehensible that the district borrowed $400,000 without a public vote,” he said, referencing the non-voter approved bond the district secured in 2011 for the fields project. In an interview, Harvey noted that he believes the district must change the way it operates and “pay as we go” in part so that other businesses will want to work with it. The district delayed payments to island contractors who worked on the fields project because it did not have the money to pay them, he said, characterizing that practice as “unbelievable arrogance.” “Fewer people are interested in doing business with us,” he said. “They can’t trust us.” One audience member at the forum asked
Douglas William Helgeson Doug Helgeson, 70, of Vashon, passed away on October 11th. Doug was born to the late Mel and Harriette Helgeson on March 14, 1943 in Kent. He graduated from Kent-Meridian High School in 1961, earned a BA in Education from Western Washington University in 1966 and later completed a master degree in Educational Administration from Central Washington University in 1990. Doug worked as a teacher, coach, and administrator in the Kent School District for 26 years; with 24 of those years being served at Kentridge High School. He was the Principal of Shelby High School, in Shelby, MT for ten years and completed the last eight years of his career as a teacher/ administrator at the International School of Bangkok in Thailand. Doug was an active member of the Vashon Lutheran Church, a beloved family man, and always wanted what was best for people; especially children. Doug is survived by his wife, Dinah Helgeson, his son, Tim Helgeson and wife Corrine Helgeson of Kent, daughter, Teri Coombs and husband Jack Coombs of San Francisco, and daughter, Heidi Dowling and husband David Dowling of Duvall. He is also survived by three grandchildren, Riley Helgeson, Trey Helgeson, and Avery Dowling, two brothers, Jerry Helgeson and wife, Ardith Helgeson and Lanny Helgeson and wife Kathy Helgeson, mother-in-law Laila Lindberg, and numerous nieces and nephews. Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 2nd at the Family of Grace Lutheran Church in Auburn, Washington. In lieu of flowers the family is suggesting donations be made to: “After The Wave” – a foundation that helps educate orphaned, young Thai children, who were affected by the 2004 Tsunami in SE Asia, Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp, Toole County Education Fund, or a charity of your choice.

the candidates about their conflict resolution skills, noting that the current board has become known for holding stressful meetings. “The key to conflict resolution is listening,” Harvey said.
John Hopkins J o h n Hopkins, one of two incumbents running for reelection, was appointed to the park board at the end of 2012. Hopkins joined the board at a difficult time for the district and had just finished a term on the board of Vashon Community Care, where he had served for six years, he said. “I saw I could contribute something,” he said. “People tell me I have a calming effect on agitated groups of people.” At the candidates’ forum, Hopkins offered his ideas of what a public board should be responsible for, including adopting a mission statement after much public input, developing a three-year business plan and engaging the community. Since moving to the island 1966, he has been involved in many volunteer positions
in addition to his recent tenure at VCC. He served on the board of trustees at the country club twice, he said, was the president of the Vashon-Maury Island Community Council twice, served on the board of Vashon Youth & Family Services and is a member of Rotary. “I like being involved in the community,” he said. Like Branch, Hopkins responded to a question from an audience member, inquiring why he often voted with the other commissioners, even when he raised concerns about the subject they were voting on. “Sometimes I have voted for business decisions that have gone against my conscience,” he said. “I regret that.” Before retiring, Hopkins worked as a senior executive for insurance companies. In that capacity, he said, he attended a lot of board meetings and developed a good understanding of how boards work. If reelected, he said he would like to improve financial reporting so that commissioners could easily see a clear financial picture of the district, something he said is not possible now. Following the meeting, he said the district’s financial situation is not as dire as many people think, though one of his priorities is to set the district on a sound financial path. At the forum one islander asked about the park district and bankruptcy. “We’ve got the funds,” Hopkins responded.” We’re just not going to be able to have any good times next year.”
Walter Joseph Ackerman April 19, 1931 – October 9, 2013 Walter was born in Seattle, WA to Walter and Edna Ackerman. Walter grew up in the Wallingford area and attended Lincoln High School. He enlisted in the Air Force and served four years. He married Clarine Wargo in 1951 and had four wonderful sons.

Maizy, a
Born 2006, Goose is an independent kitty, but he can also be very affectionate. He likes to snuggle at nighttime. He is a pretty skittish kitty and tends to be quite jumpy. When he was a kitten, he had a dog, and they used to wrestle and play. As an adult cat, he is more shy but does warm up to dogs over time. He currently has two kitty roommates, and they have all lived together for the last year. It was an adjustment, but they have done well. He also really loves to eat and will try to convince you he is hungry around the clock!
5 year old Guinness came to VIPP with his buddy Lizzie. She has since been adopted and he is looking for a forever home of his own - He is very cuddly and loves laser pointers. Guinness is okay with little kids and was relinquished because of apartment rules. He takes a little while to adapt but is very sweet after.
Boston Terrier, won’t hear you tell her what a good dog she is, because she has been deaf all her life. But she will watch you all the time for the hand signals she knows and follows. She is very affectionate and cuddly. Maizy came to us after her “forever� home was broken up by the loss of her mistress. She misses her old dog and cat companions. She is 15 pounds of love and enthusiasm and only about 7 years old, and would love a home with a dog her size to play with her. There is a $125.00 adoption fee. To meet Maizy email dogs@vipp.org.
