The site will be available through Nov. 30. The input the county receives through the series of public meetings it is holding and from the website will help set the course for the county government for the next five years, Painter said.

A three-judge panel with the Washington Court of Appeals will now hear the case; a hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 19, at the court’s Seattle offices. Jim Kelly, executive director of 4Culture, said the agency normally doesn’t get involved in legal matters, but felt compelled to support the Friends of Mukai’s case after watching the current leadership of Island Landmarks fail to maintain the historic site or make it available to the public. “When you get away from the technicalities and those kinds of issues, it comes down to who is the best possible steward of the site, and I believe it is the people who care about this site and live on the island,” Kelly said.
Last week four local, state and national agencies filed a brief in the lawsuit over the control of Island Landmarks, the nonprofit that owns the Mukai farmhouse and garden, arguing a group of island activists should be granted control of the organization. The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Historic Seattle and 4Culture — King County’s cultural arts agency — filed an amicus, or “friend of the court” brief detailing why the Friends of Mukai’s attempted takeover of Island Landmarks’ board and ousting of director Mary Matthews under the organization’s own bylaws in 2012 should be considered legally valid, contrary to what a King County Superior Court judge ruled last fall.

State to hold open house on ferry changes Some concerned about schedule rewrite By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
Washington State Ferries will hold a drop-in open house Saturday afternoon to give information and take feedback on upcoming changes to the north-end ferry schedule. The state announced last month that it will add a larger ferry to the north-end triangle route next fall and at the same time eliminate some runs throughout the day, allowing for more time between sailings. The new boat configuration and sailing schedule, officials say, will allow the ferries to carry the same number of cars throughout the day while more easily keeping to the schedule on a route that has become known for frequently falling behind. On Saturday, ferry officials will be on hand at the Ober Park Performance Room to discuss the upcoming changes and hear islanders’ thoughts on the schedule rewrite — the first change to the north-end schedule in 10 years. WSF Director David Moseley said the officials would come with information on current ridership, sailing times and dwelling times — the amount of time ferries spend at the dock between sailings. Officials say that the triangle route is tightly scheduled, meaning boats are often delayed by even minor disruptions such as heavy traffic, fog or emergency medical transports. “We’re trying to make this as much as possible a data-driven discussion,” Moseley said. Meanwhile, Vashon’s ferry advocates are trying to call attention to the schedule rewrite, saying it’s bad news for ferry riders. Greg Beardsley, head of Vashon’s Ferry Advisory Committee and a member of a steering committee WSF formed to provide feedback on the rewrite, has released some draft schedules he received as part of the group. The two options drafted by WSF show that several trips would be deleted each day on the triangle route and there would be more time scheduled between the remaining sailings. Beardsley has designed

Another concerned ferry rider who commutes from Southworth and is part of the local Ferry Community Partnership has posted fliers with warnings about the changes on the King County Water Taxi, and Beardsley said he expected fliers would be posted on car ferries as well. The fliers encourage riders to attend the open house and email Beardsley for the draft schedules. “For everyone who has to use the ferries regularly, this schedule change could be very detrimental,” Beardsley said. Beardsley said he believes a final schedule proposal — not due out until early next year — will look very similar to the drafts unless islanders express their concerns now. “I hope people tell them this does not work for them, and hopefully that will be enough to get this rolling,” Beardsley said. Moseley, however, said ferry officials are still early in the schedule drafting process and he hopes islanders won’t jump to conclusions about the draft schedules being distributed. The agency plans to present a schedule proposal, hold another public meeting and take public comments on it in February of 2014. It will revise the schedule by the springs and implement the new sailing times in September of 2014. “We have a long way to go before we are in any position to make any schedule recommendation to the community,” Moseley said. “We’ll look at a lot more schedule options.”

Rare book collectors open store for their treasures After selling online for years, two islanders have joined forces in a retail venture By SARAH LOW Staff Writer
Setting up shop at Center, book dealers Casey DeLoach and Randy Barnes are bringing literary gold to Vashon with Bookman West. Inside the small shop at the Old Fuller Store are hundreds of volumes of antique, rare, collectible and signed books from around the world. The pair will sell the books out of their new shop, as well as online, and appraise visitors’ own books. Listening to him now, you would never know that DeLoach, son of Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie owner Eva DeLoach, hasn’t always loved books. “As a child, I never really liked books much,” he admitted, “but every Christmas or birthday my mom would give me a special book.” By the time he was in his teens, DeLoach had a sizable book collection and his interest was piqued. He started reading them, learning more about them and discovering what made them special, he said. He continued to build on the collection himself until there were too many to manage. “It got to a point where I had this wall of books and I needed to do something with them, so I took them to Elliott Bay Book Company,” he said. “The payout they gave me was very large. I was shocked.” DeLoach did his homework and began collecting then selling rare books on his own, achieving success quickly. For over a decade, DeLoach acquired rare, collectible, out-of-print and high-value books and sold them online. During that time, he said, many of his customers and friends suggested he should open a retail shop. So when he saw a space go up for rent in the Old Fuller Store, he jumped on it. As he was gathering inventory for the new store, DeLoach paid a visit to the Vashon Bookshop, where islander Randy Barnes has a case of collectible books. Barnes, a selfdescribed painter and poet, has dabbled in book sales for the last 20 years. DeLoach bought a book from Barnes’ collection to put in the store and thought that the two should meet sometime, given their mutual interest.
JOIN US AS WE CELEBRATE
As fate would have it, they ran into each other not long afterward when they were both buying books. “We started talking,” DeLoach said. “Our literary interests lie in such different directions we thought we’d make a good pair.” Both men “robbed” their personal collections, they said, and put them together to fill the new bookshop. “I was so blown away by how well-read Randy is,” DeLoach said of Barnes. “Writers are important to him. He stands by them.” Since their grand opening on this month’s First Friday, they’ve had a lot of interest in the store, they said, which isn’t surprising given the treasure trove of first editions, special collections, hard-to-find and autographed books tucked away in the unassuming but charming space that feels perfectly suited to its new offerings. Some gems inside include a first edition, first print of C.S. Lewis’ “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”; first editions of the Harry Potter series; first editions of books by Frank L. Baum, J.R.R. Tolkien, Frank Herbert and Charles Bukowski; titles by Hunter S. Thompson, Alan Ginsburg, Edward Gorey and Maurice Sendak; and rare and small press poetry. Many of the shop’s books and sets have values in the tens of thousands of dollars. For those looking for autographed tomes, there are many available, particularly in the realm of political figures like Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon. Soon to arrive at the store is a collection of work by Teddy Roosevelt, which will also be the store’s most valuable item. The store’s inventory comes from a variety of sources, DeLoach said, including garage sales, antique shops, auctions, rare book conventions and other bookstores. DeLoach and Barnes say that they hope islanders will also bring books to them, as they can research the value of their items. To determine the value or pricing of their books, aside from many years of experience, the partners have several resources. “We research everything diligently,” DeLoach explained, with Barnes adding, “Rare books are like fine art, there’s always some speculation involved. It can be a subjective world.” Having closed down their own online book-selling accounts, the two plan to establish an internet presence for the new store by next month and are hopeful that they’ll be able to maintain a successful business, despite not being located in Vashon town. They expect some collectors will come from Seattle to see their inventory or purchase a specific book.

Election 2014
EDITORIAL
Ferry service changes are really coming this time It’s been said that Vashon’s ferry advocates — a small group of islanders who campaign for sustained ferry service — seem to “cry wolf.” Annually these volunteer ferry watchdogs warn us that state budget cuts could cancel sailings if residents don’t make their objections known. And annually the Legislature comes up with 11th-hour funding for the ferries, avoiding the proposed cuts and leading to a laissez-faire attitude among islanders. The ferry service cuts this group currently warns of, however, aren’t related to the state’s budget. It’s been decided that next year Vashon will get a new ferry and see a new schedule with fewer sailings each day — a fact we’re afraid has been lost on many ferry riders. Next year, the 124-car Cathlamet will be reassigned to the north-end triangle route, replacing the 87-car Klahowya. Washington State Ferries officials say this gives the route greater overall vehicle capacity, making it a good time to add space between sailings on a route known for falling behind schedule easily. (If you missed it, see our story in the Sept. 25 issue or on our website.) A couple of Vashon’s ferry advocates, however, are already crying fowl. They’ve leaked some draft schedules that WSF didn’t mean to go public and are claiming the cancelled trips and new times for other runs in the drafts would create longer lines and longer waits for commuters. The drafts will become a reality, they say, if islanders don’t make some noise about it. Ferry officials, however, say they should slow down. The head of the state ferry system last week said the agency is still looking at its options and is far from an official schedule proposal. It’s premature, he said, to jump to conclusions about these draft schedules. They hope a new schedule will allow the boats to stay on time more without causing a pain for commuters. It’s hard to say whether we should get up in arms about these draft schedules or give the state time to work through its process and possibly come up with something better. One thing is certain, though: Ferry advocates aren’t crying wolf and commuters should be concerned. It’s hard to imagine how any schedule change that involves decreasing sailings won’t impact riders, and the draft schedules leaked do suggest there could be fewer sailings during the busiest times. Riders will simply have fewer options when leaving the island or coming home, and we think some commuters have to get up earlier, come home later or alter their current work schedules. The new schedule could be less convenient for the commuter students our school district depends on and make it harder for goods to get to the island. If you commute to work or ride the ferries frequently, stop by Ober Park on Saturday between noon and 3 p.m. Hear what state officials at an open house on this topic have to say and ask hard questions about how the new schedule is being drafted and how the state will manage to decreased sailings
Park district contenders share their views With election season at hand, the races for three seats on the board of the Vashon Park District — an agency that has had considerable financial trouble and drawn public criticism — is drawing particular attention. The Beachcomber recently asked the six candidates for the park board to answer a few questions each about why they should be elected. We have printed their answers as they sent them to us, with only minor editing. Incumbent John Hopkins, who is running for position 3, is out of the country and was unable to participate.
Lu-Ann Branch Incumbent, Position No. 2 What role should the park district play in the community, and how should it work to realize that vision? VPD should sponsor balancing rural island life with recreation opportunities and facilities. It should ensure that diverse groups and activities are represented on the island, rather than only representing a few narrow interests. VPD should initiate and preserve nature pursuits (such as hiking, bird watching and beach activities), organized team sports, individual sports, outdoor culture (concerts, plays, art fairs, farmers’ market) and other recreation opportunities. I, and my family, participate in all of these activities. And I have strived to diversify VPD’s focus by supporting a variety of funding, such as naturalists for the Low Tide Celebration at Point Robinson, funding for the skatepark (BARC) and keeping our Vashon Pool open. Describe your management experience and how it would benefit the board. Having been the former finance and human resources director for
the national Pet Partners nonprofit (there is an active group here on the island), a director and manager of information technology (including the Microsoft Office product group, IBM and Group Health), and serving on several nonprofit boards (currently president of my church board of trustees), I bring specific management experience of people and programs. Leveraging that experience, I currently head VPD’s public relations committee and human resources initiatives. I led the hiring process for VPD’s current general manager, organized and helped sponsor the VES Fields moderated public forum held earlier this year and currently am compiling results of a recent VPD survey that I spearheaded sending out. Fiscally, what have you seen at the park district that should change, and how should the agency get back on firm financial footing? I am committed to eliminating all of VPD’s financial debt, including debt prior to the VES Fields project. I never wanted this situation (it was in place when I began my term) and do not feel it has ever been a good philosophy to run an organization from the position of deficit spending. My views are not supported by the majority of the current board.
Stephen Evans Position No. 2 What role should the park district play in the community, and how should it work to realize that vision? Change without vision is movement without direction. I believe very strongly that VPD should be a foundational element of our community — a common denominator for all. We are a community of wonderful divergence where people

can separate and congregate, but a community also requires places and activities of common interests. VPD has the parks and programs of interest to all. But we all need to feel not just invited to use and participate, but to feel as we are a part of it all, and all is a part of us. Through participation, we all can achieve this Vision. See www. vashonparksforall.com. Describe your management experience and how it would benefit the board. Effective board and district management, as well as leadership, are critical to rebuiling VPD’s good standing in the community and moving forward. I have grown and managed law firms, co-managed a ski school program and sat on a program board for a Seattle athletic club. I’m am a trained mediator and an advocate. Good managers know well with whom they are working. I have already met with VPD’s employees to hear their thoughts about yesterday, today and tomorrow. Good managers are good communicators; they lead by building consensus and fairly addressing criticism. I use these skills daily. See www. vashonparksforall.com Fiscally, what have you seen at the park district that should change, and how should the agency get back on firm financial footing? The district is, based upon present revenues and projected expenses, on viable financial footing. The patient has enough blood only because body parts have been amputated and bleeding stopped. But that is not how any business (or district) should be run. What must change is the VPD leadership, which will lead to change in fiscal operations. If VPD operates within its mission and does not commit to open-ended spending, then it can, and will, be a shining example of a public benefit and not a public bane. Finally, we must maintain what we have lest amputation becomes a commonplace fiscal solution. See www.vashonparksforall.com. RESPONSES CONTINUE , NEXT PAGE

Robin Magonegil Position No. 4 What role should the park district play in the community, and how should it work to realize that vision? I believe that the role of the park district should be to continue to maintain the great facilities we currently have and to work to restore the programs that we once administered. It will take time and a great deal of effort to get the park district back on track, but I believe that I have the foresight and fortitude to see this through. The park district should be for all the residents of Vashon and not just those who use the sports fields. It is also our role as public servants to listen respectfully to the public we serve. Describe your management experience and how it would benefit the board. I have several years of leadership experience on boards and non-profit organizations. I served as the treasurer for Home Alive, an organization that was on the brink of bankruptcy when I joined the board. The board managed to realistically look at the financial situation, make the hard decisions and brought that organization back to full function. I currently serve as the treasurer for the Episcopal church. Professionally, I have worked as the financial officer for a number of non-profits. I know my way around a budget sheet. I am highly ethical and believe in complete transparency. Fiscally, what have you seen at the park district that should change, and how should the agency get back on firm financial footing? I plan on looking at the financial situation of the park district with a sense of realism. There are permits and grants that must be fulfilled, but beyond that no more monies should be diverted and spent on the VES Fields project. When the economic bust occurred, I believe that the park district commissioners should have adjusted their plans, but did not, and have borrowed their way into a hole that we must now figure out how to climb out of. On a personal level, I have had to navigate changing financial situations during this time of economic hardship. I hope to apply those lessons.
Doug Ostrom Position No. 4 What role should the park district play in the community, and how should it work to realize that vision? All islanders support the parks through property taxes, and our priorities should reflect that. Most Vashon Park District activities are important, but a focus on athletic programs, which serve perhaps 10 percent of the population, to the exclusion of other activities and properties, is inappropriate, especially since the youth population is declining, with further declines likely.

I want the parks to be as welcoming and well funded for those who use the parks to attend a wedding, shop at the Farmers Market, take a class, launch boats and picnic or sunbathe as for those playing a competitive sport. Describe your management experience and how it would benefit the board. During the nationally known Maryland Savings and Loan crisis, the state of Maryland hired me as its economist to sort out what went wrong and how to fix it. And we fixed it. My interest in serving at the park district increased when I observed what I knew to be a financial red flag: The district was dealing with a small bank in eastern Washington rather than local banks for important park business. I have 40 years of college teaching experience and served on boards as a professor and voting member at two colleges where faculty governed the college. I have served as an officer of two churches, including one where I am currently treasurer and board member. When I worked as an economist for a research arm of Congress in Washington, D.C., I helped hire economic contractors. In these positions, I dealt with big-picture questions facing the organizations, exactly the focus the board needs.
borrow money to operate. It has wasted tens of thousands of dollars, including $40,000 on an unusable restroom, which was supported by my opponent, by mismanaging the construction process. All of these issues are easily addressed: 1. Never start a project until you know the entire cost of the venture, including a reserve of at least 10 percent. 2. The district must have 100 percent of any project cost available from cash in the bank, grants

Position No. 5
Describe your management experience and how it would benefit the board. The most important role of a commissioner is to manage the budget. I have over 30 years of experience counseling and lending to small businesses with budgets equal to or greater than the park district’s budget. In addition, I have financed multiple construction projects in the $1 million to $2 million range, so I can help the district avoid the many mistakes that have plagued the VES Fields, while completing this important project. Fiscally, what have you seen at the park district that should change, and how should the agency get back on firm financial footing? The district has no reserve and must
or funds in the budget before work commences (never depend on promises of future fundraising or volunteer work) 3. Accumulate a reserve of at least $300,000, to avoid the unnecessary cost of borrowing to operate the park district, and more importantly, to address unexpected expenses, which always occur, whether it is a lawsuit from the VES Fields neighbor or the removal of the Tramp Harbor dock.
Holiday Gift Guide
Fiscally, what have you seen at the park district that should change, and how should the agency get back on firm financial footing? We need to revise contracting procedures to save money, following state and county guidelines. We should carefully and publicly budget major expenditure items such as the fields project and then stick to the budget so that we aren’t hit with surprise after expensive surprise.
What role should the park district play in the community, and how should it work to realize that vision? Given the time and expense of leaving Vashon, the Vashon Park District plays a pivotal role in the physical and mental health of the island residents by providing local access to inexpensive activities. We must serve the entire community, whether it is the 5-year-old playing soccer, the 95-yearold playing bocci or the couple walking their dog on park trails by assuring all park venues are maintained and developed using our limited resources.

Q: A:
My folks want to buy a rental property on Vashon and you took them out looking at what was available. I was surprised to hear that you discouraged them from buying a couple of places I thought were really a good buy. Why was that? Buying investment property is very different than buying a home you intend to live in. You have to think like a renter. Our company did property management here on the island for many years. We no longer do that but it was certainly an educational experience for me.
Generally, you want to have a rental that fits the requirements of the largest number of people so that you have a good number of potential tenants to chose from and have very little turnover. You are losing money every time the place sits empty. In my experience most folks are looking for a three bedroom, two bath home. That fits a variety of family sizes and is usually in the highest demand. A small, two bedroom, one bath home will work for a single person or even a couple who don’t mind a tight fit, but it leaves out larger families or the many people who use a bedroom as an home office. You’re also better off with a home that’s not too isolated. Many long term renters use the bus service here or walk to work. That means you want a place closer to town and/or close the bus line. The math also matters. If your parents bought a small, two bedrooms home they might get an average of $900 per month. If they bought a three bedroom, two bath home, they would likely get $1,200 to $1,800 or more depending on the condition of the home. There are houses here that rent for $2,000 a month or much more, but those often attract higher income tenants who are just renting until they find a home they want to buy. In that case, you have several months of lost rent between tenants and that wipes out the value of the higher rent.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Hitchhiking
Picking up a stranger offers a chance to do good in the world I have picked up many, many hitchhikers on Vashon since coming here a dozen years ago. I have given rides to five to six young girls on their way to a friend’s house, to men that hadn’t bathed in awhile, to drenched people carrying grocery bags, to teenagers going to town to hang out with buddies, to youth hostel visitors going to the ferry, to people with alcohol on their breath. I have even tried to give rides to people who were only out for a walk! This morning I picked up a 20-something going to a job in Vashon. During the inevitable conversation, this person said they were born on the island, had moved off, and returned a couple of years ago. I asked how difficult it was to hitchhike. It turns out it is not the piece of cake I assumed it was, especially compared to when they lived here before. I know there are “dangers� out there lurking. I know we have had an uptick in crime. I know I am not immune from the bad intentions of others. But I cannot shut down my humanity because of what might happen. It is so important to help one another. For me, that is the only way to offset the craziness going on elsewhere. Because I live on this island, picking up a hitchhiker is an opportunity available to me. So I look forward to the next conversation I have with a stranger in the front seat of my car. — Sue Gardner

Misuse of guns is responsible for deaths Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my 12-gauge pump shotgun right in the doorway. I set four shells on the floor next to it and left it alone while I went about my business around the house.

While I was gone, the mail gal delivered my mail, the trash man picked up the trash, two girls walked their dogs down the street, quite a few bicyclists rode by and quite a few of my neighbors drove past. Well, after about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it. It hadn’t killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had been presented to do so. In fact, it hadn’t even loaded itself. I was perplexed! Well, you can imagine my surprise, with all the media and political hype about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people. Either the media is wrong, and it is the misuse of guns by criminals, or I have one of the laziest shotguns ever made. I must hurry off now and check on my spoons. I hear they are making people fat.

Vote ‘yes’ for continued excellent service in this election I have been recently asked by many members of the community who know me about the political situation at Vashon Island Fire & Rescue, and I give them all the same answer: “Every organization has a certain amount of dysfunction, but in our situation, I am proud to say that it does not affect our providing excellent service to the community.� I write today to encourage the members of our community to protect and maintain that service by supporting the renewal of the Medic One levy this election. All residents of and visitors to King County benefit from this levy by having a medical emergency response system second to none in the world.

Truth does not set multinational food corporations free. If it did, these corporations would proudly and truthfully declare all their food ingredients on their product labels and wouldn’t have to buy the governments they need, buy the scientists they need and buy the voters they need to sell the world their shoddy goods. In short, they wouldn’t have to lie. The underlying message of all no-on-522 advertising is simply this: “Shut up, and eat what you’re told.� The choice could not be clearer. All other issues are moot. We either stand up on our hind legs like good redblooded Americans and vote yes on 522 and yes for our choice to buy untainted food.

community in the world is around 30 percent, and sadly, some communities are as low as 1 percent. Vashon is particularly reliant on this levy to fund a significant portion of our emergency operations and staff. Most of the Medic One resources to our island pay for the ALS or Advanced Live Support staff (paramedics). Our minimum staffing is two paid firefighter/EMTs and two paid firefighter/paramedics. We often compliment these four staff people with volunteers, but these four are the people who are guaranteed to be there when you call. People often thank me at the market for coming to their homes on a call and helping with an emergency. The reality is I thank you. It is a privilege and honor to serve my community in this capacity. It is my hope that my colleagues and I can continue to serve your family and all of our island neighbors in the future, but we need your help to do so. Please be sure to vote for the renewal of the Medic One levy.

BARC skatepark ends supervised sessions, opens for free skating By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Vashon’s skateboarders and inline skaters will be able to skate for free starting next month, when Vashon’s indoor skatepark switches from its pay-to-skate model to daily, unsupervised skating at no charge. The Burton Adventure Recreation Center (BARC), owned by the Vashon Park District and supported by the BARC Stewardship Council, has offered only supervised skate sessions for the past several years. Now, because of a marked decrease in the number of skaters and the resulting decreased revenue, the park will adopt the model most outdoor skateparks use: free skates from morning until dusk every day. For added security, members of the stewardship council will install security cameras that will allow parents to check on their kids online. “Right now we just want to keep the park open for these kids,” said Allison Reid, a member of the stewardship council. Beginning Nov. 1, the indoor skatepark will be open from 9 a.m. until dusk every day, Reid said. Currently, she noted, park hours are just Wednesday through Sunday with limited hours during those days. With this change, the skatepark will be open daily like any other Vashon park. “(Skating) will be just like using the swings at Ober Park,” she said. Still, Reid said, with no supervisor present, the council plans to install several video surveillance cameras to stream a live video feed of the indoor park activities.
Parents will be able to drop their kids off and check on them through the Vashon Park District’s website. Council members also hope the cameras will curtail vandalism and other inappropriate activity at the park, she said. She noted that rules of the park will be posted and that skaters under 18 must wear a helmet. Like at other parks, there will be no phone once the change takes place. Some involved say they believe the change is a good one for the skate park, while others voice concern. Elaine Ott, general manager of the Vashon Park District, has been working with the stewardship council for several months. She recently said she is supportive of the plan, which will allow the park to remain open. “I am fully aware of the fun and importance of a well built skatepark,” she said. “I do have a particular passion for the success of the skatepark.” Jenni Wilke, a member of the stewardship council, also spoke in favor of the plan, which the council proposed to the park district over the summer. “I think it’s a really good move,” she said. As the council members did informal research, Wilke said, they found that teens frequently quit going to BARC in favor of free places to skate and that adults also expressed interest in skating, though the limited hours frequently did not work for them. With this new plan in place, she said she hopes BARC will draw more users. Reid, however, said she is concerned about young skaters, and knows that some
parents will not drop their kids off without supervision. “It’s wait and see and hope that people will embrace it,” she said. In addition to the November changes, Reid said the BARC Stewardship Council and the park district hope to build a concrete bowl there, hopefully next summer. The park district was awarded a $75,000 King County Youth Sports Facilities Grant in 2010 to help fund an ambitious project to build an outdoor skatepark at BARC. Those plans were later scaled back, Wilke said, in part because the project was too expensive, and some of the components did not fit the needs of the park users, she noted. A bowl, on the other hand, does just that. “That’s what skaters want, and that’s what we don’t have,” she said. At the park district, Ott noted that the project was “tabled by default” because of staff turnover at the district and tight cash flow. Now, she said, she is optimistic the bowl will be built next summer, but two conditions need to be met first. First, she said, King County must award a second grant extension, after awarding one last year that expires Dec. 31. The county is amenable to considering it, she said, and she and the stewardship council members are compiling the needed information. Secondly, building the bowl would require
the district to front the $75,000 to the construction company and then be reimbursed by the county. This will be a cash-flow issue for the district, Ott said, noting that the district would need to draw from its line of credit, which would require board approval. BARC steward Reid said she believes the entire Burton park is a diamond in the rough, with a BMX track, disc golf and a sand volleyball court she saw used every day last summer. Over time, she said, many BARC supporters would like to see the park reach its full potential. “The point is to enhance it beyond a skatepark,” she said. “Eventually, we want people on the board committed to the whole park enhancement and improvement.” This week, some help for the park will come from nearly 40 Harbor School students, who will head there for a service learning project, which Reid coordinated. James Cardo, the head of the Harbor School, said the group will work on a variety of maintenance tasks, from dismantling some things inside in preparation for the coming operational changes to clearing trails and cutting out blackberries and Scotch broom. Reid said she is pleased to have them. “It needs that kind of love and care,” she said. “It’s a beautiful park.”

Longtime islander Arlyn Nelson Teed celebrated her centennial birthday surrounded by friends and family at Vashon Community Care on Sunday, Oct. 13. Arlyn came to Vashon at a young age, when her father, a Puget Sound tugboat operator, homesteaded on the Tahlequah waterfront. She later moved to Seattle to pursue a career in clothing design, eventually designing dresses for big-name stores in Seattle and teaching fashion design at Edison Technical School, now Seattle Central Community College. She returned to Vashon when she was married. In an interview on her actual birthday, Oct. 15, Arlyn didn’t say much but did say she has enjoyed living on Vashon, where she has known many people and was a member of the local cribbage club. Arlyn said she always remembers the views and swirling tides from her former home at Tahlequah. “I love it here,� she said.

WHAT’S HAPPENING A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC
Jazz band headlines the Bike The Red Bicycle will shine its spotlight on an innovative Northwest jazz band when it welcomes the Island Jazz Quintet at 8:30 p.m. Friday. The band’s five members, who met on Vashon and began playing together in 1999, have developed a style that combines improvisational jazz, bossa nova and a smoky hint of cabaret in distinctive arrangements that led Victory Review to write, “Vashon Island boasts a group worthy of national attention. This group would be right at home in a New York cabaret.” Island Jazz Quintet features Maggie Laird on vocals, Richard Person on trumpet, Michael Gotz on guitar, Todd Gowers on bass and Todd Zimberg on drums. The group released its third CD, “Who Knows,” to a standing-room-only crowd at the Crepe de Paris in Seattle. This collection of originals and colorful arrangements of standards immediately began receiving national and international airplay. “This is one of Washington state’s best jazz ensembles,” said one reviewer. “Just listen to the personal touches and humor the band adds to ‘What a Little Moonlight Can Do,’ to see that this is a group that should be selling out shows all across the country.” The show is free and all ages until 11 p.m., when the restaurant is for those 21 and over only.
RIPTIDE TUNES
Local family band performs for an evening of dancing The three-generation family band the Riptide Ramblers will bring high-energy tunes to the Blue Heron at 8 p.m. Saturday, when Vashon Allied Arts will clear out a space for dancing. The Riptide Ramblers play a rousing blend of Cajun, zydeco, country, swamp pop and rockabilly music. Members of this family have been playing music in the Seattle area for more than 35 years, and fans of Cajun music will recognize Riptide member Dave Lang as a founding musician of the popular Seattle-based band “How’s Bayou.” With guitar, fiddle, accordion, drums, bass and assorted rhythm instruments, their upbeat music is particularly conducive to dancing, which will be encouraged at the evening show. In fact, the band has hinted that there will be someone present to start the evening with a brief demonstration of some dance steps. For tickets, $12/$16, see www.vashonalliedarts. org or call 463- 5131.

Treat your pets to style at the Fur Ball By NATALIE JOHNSON For The Beachcomber
First there were colorful ceramic cats. Then there were brightly tiled canines. This year, instead of art of pets, Vashon Island Pet Protectors is auctioning off art for pets at its 11th annual Fur Ball on Sunday at the Open Space for Arts & Community. Among a long slate of auction items at this year’s event, which raises a third to a half of the organization’s annual funds, are some sophisticated, shiny and downright fun dog bowls designed by local artists such as Penny Grist, Steve Roache, Irene Otis and Clare Donha. Also on the auction lineup are four unique doghouses designed by local architects as part of VIPP’s BOWHAUS project. The doghouses will be on display at Island Lumber through Friday. “They’re just incredible,” said Geoff Fletcher, president of VIPP. “Those are priceless. I think they’re worth thousands of bucks.” Fletcher said that just as impressive is a lineup of vacations Fur Ball-goers can bid on this year. Auction items include some local trips and activities as well as a six-night stay in New Orleans during Mardi Gras, a one-week stay in a countryside house in West Cork, Ireland, a week’s stay at a home in Palm Springs and two weeks at a cottage on a satsuma orchard in Rheenendal, South Africa. Of course, there’s still some animal-

Fletcher said the Fur Ball, one of several nonprofit auctions on the island, has become known for its fun and laid-back feel, and this year should be no different. With a theme of “The Spookiest Fur Ball Ever,” he said, the event will be decked out for Halloween and organizers hope guests come in costume. A variety of ethnic food will be provided by four food trucks. Last year’s action brought in $70,000 for the animal rescue organization, and this year the funds are just as needed as
ever, Fletcher said. Over the last 12 months, VIPP’s cat shelter took in and adopted out a record numbers of cats, offered discounts on spaying and neutering and helped get 120 animals micro-chipped. “It’s crucial for us,” he said. “And it’s always a blast.”
The Fur Ball will be from 4 to 9 p.m. Sunday at the Open Space for Arts & Community. Get tickets, $55 for one, $100 for a pair and $500 for a table of 10, at www.brownpapertickets. com. Tickets can also be purchased at Pandora’s Box, Fair Isle Animal Clinic, Island Lumber and Vashon Bookshop.
Acclaimed family musician will entertain this weekend A new season of Vashon Allied Arts’ family series will kick off this Sunday with a performance by Seattle entertainer Linda Severt. “Juggletunes,” a show geared toward elementary age children, spotlights Severt as a solo performer who somehow manages to be a circus, a complete band, a songwriter and a vaudeville act, all in one. In her 26 years of family entertaining, Severt has performed at such venues and events as the Kennedy Center, Teatro Zinzanni and the UMO ensemble, at children’s festivals and at clown festivals all over the world. She is also a respected multi-instrumentalist and singer who has toured with the Laura Love band and has won awards for her children’s music CDs. Her latest family CD of original songs won several national awards, including a Parents’ Choice Silver Award. In the judge’s words, Severt “successfully keeps so many musical styles going while singing some of the wittiest lyrics this side of Dr. Seuss.” Severt will perform “Juggletunes” at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Blue Heron. For tickets, $5 for youth and $8 for adults, see www.vashonalliedarts.org or call 463-5131. — Natalie Johnson

The Edwards era will continue at The Little House this holiday season as a possible cookie decorating day at the store and face painting. Mostly her customers are happy to learn she will remain in business, she said, though a few have wondered if she had planned on staying all along. That was definitely not the case, she said. “I am 68 years old,” she said. “I was ready to take that step.” Still, she said, making the decision to leave last year was very mixed, and she said she is happy to still be at the helm of the store, which she will keep until it sells. “It’s a good thing. I love what I do,” she said. “I am 100 percent now.”
Christmas is coming, and retirement dreams will have to wait a little bit longer By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Island merchants are gearing up for the holiday season, including one merchant who had planned on the Christmas season of 2012 being her last in business. Bettie Edwards, the owner of The Little House for the past 37 years, expected to close her store and sell her building this year after listing it in April. But the place didn’t sell, and now Edwards is rearranging and stocking the shelves in preparation for holiday shoppers. “I guess it was not time for me to retire,” she said recently. “We decided to fire up again.” When Edwards announced last fall that she planned to close up shop, she believed her building would sell, she said, and when it did not, she found herself unable to move on to the next phase in her life. “This is a big chunk of my retirement,” she said, looking around her store. Also, Edwards, known for her Christmas cheer, said it did not make sense to her to simply close the building. “I didn’t want it to be empty for the holidays,” she said. “The house had to be a home.” And so since early this fall, she and her staff have set about making changes. “We shook it up and turned it around,” she said. “It’s a fresh start. It’s just putting the energy back.” Little House shoppers will notice many of the same gift items as in the past, she said, but in refurbished rooms. The former soap room has become “The Girly Room,” painted pink with sparkles on the walls and stocked with an abundance of girl-themed gifts. The former toy room has become the pirate room, festooned with maps on the walls

Children may even receive a personal letter written to them from a Pirate, if a parent inquires. New toys will come in, too, Edwards said, and she will offer activities for kids in the coming months, such as Silly Saturdays with activities typically geared for girls, as well

s a therapist I believe connecting with my clients on a very “human” level is extremely important to moving forward in the healing process. I create a trusting, respectful and nurturing environment in which you can feel safe and supported. I empower you to make choices that will enable you to live a life that is inspiring and full of clarity and confidence. Depending on your needs and goals for each session, I integrate transpersonal, mindfulness and relational theories when using talk therapy, art therapy, or a combination of both. Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that incorporates the process of art making as a means of communication in the therapy process. It can be a powerful addition in therapy, where no experience with art is necessary or required. It often reveals what is hard to put into words. I specialize in helping people of all ages dealing with depression, anxiety, grief and trauma, school and work-related issues, family and relationship concerns, and selfesteem and confidence building.

eadow Heart welcomes you for individualized holistic healthcare, yoga instruction and ayurvedic bodywork. Experience more balance, ease and mindfulness. In all facets, my intention is to hold a focused, compassionate space for your own healing to emerge. Special programs include: 2 month stress reduction; deep cleansing (panchakarma); and retreats, the next one being at Breitenbush, Nov. 8-11th. My interest in ayurveda began with my own journey from a 10 year chronic health condition to wellness, using this natural healing modality grounded in diet, healthy lifestyle habits and herbal medicine. The sweet surprise was that, along the way, ayurveda and meditation taught me to interact with the world in a more balanced and easeful way. After completing my studies in Ayurveda, I was able to deepen my knowledge through an award scholarship in India. Additionally, I completed an 18 month mindful yoga and meditation training at Spirit Rock. I love sharing these ancient, wise and practical sciences and I look forward to serving you on your healing path! Find me at Full Circle Wellness Center for ayurveda, at the Yogi Nest & the Blue Heron for yoga instruction. I enjoy teaching private yoga as well. Find me on the web at: www.MeadowHeartAyurveda.com

The McMurray Mustang boys’ soccer team has dominated the Middle Chinook League this fall. The Mustangs have defeated Seattle Christian three times, Showalter twice and Charles Wright once to get to their 6-0 record. The team has scored an average of eight goals per game while only giving up two per game. The Mustangs do have two tough games remaining on their schedule, both at home. On Wednesday, they will face the Charles Wright Terriers. A win would wrap up the Mustangs third league championship in the past four years. Their last game of the year will be at home on Oct. 30 against Showalter. The start time is 3:30 p.m. for both games. Above, McMurray’s Luis Eicher-Lyons heads to the goal against Showalter Middle School in a game the Mustangs won, 8-3.

The Vashon High School cross country team has had a lot on its plate in preparation for the Nisqually League Championships this Friday. On Tuesday, Oct. 15, the team ran one final regular season race at Fort Steilacoom Park, hosted by Eatonville High School. The girls came up short of their expected second-place finish and took third to Eatonville and Cedar Park Christian. However, with some hard training in the last week, the girls hope to fight for first place at the championship meet. The boys team finished in fifth, with some solid individual performances. Freshman Jeffery Parrish ran a personal best of 18:53.86 on the 5k course. Freshman Isaac Hughes also improved his time, coming in at 21:02.75. On top of an away meet, the team hosted its annual dock-to-dock fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 19. The race began at the south-end ferry dock. Twenty-seven runners participated this year, and five completed the 13.8-mile run from one end of the island to the other. — Maddi Groen
Pirates soccer team adds another win to its record The Vashon High School girls’ varsity soccer team easily dispatched the Life Christian Eagles on Thursday night, 9-2. Any doubt about the outcome was erased in the first few minutes as Llira McEachern scored four-first half goals on assists from Emily Browne, Harper Howard, Michelle Raney and Brooke Whitney. Madison Chapman celebrated her return to the line- up with a goal, and Paige Browne joined in on the act with a bullet from 20 yards for a halftime score of 7-0. The second half was an opportunity for Vashon to display the team’s depth, and the play evened out somewhat. Vashon gave up
WILLIAMS HEATING Proudly Sponsors… PIRATE
Madeline Hille Vollyball, Co-Captain/ VHS Senior What the coach says: Maddie has been an exceptional leader both on and off the court for our team. She is a very hard worker and understands what it means to be a good teammate. Maddie has improved so much over the past four years and it’s been really neat to watch this improvement. We are certainly going to miss Maddie’s leadership next year.

two second half goals but responded with three tallies of their own and just missing on several more chances. Lauren Jenks scored midway through the half, and late game substitute Maddie McEachern added two to her season total to bring about the 9-2 result. The Pirates have a 7-2-3 record heading into their match against Bellevue Christian Tuesday night after press time. Vashon plays at Seattle Christian Thursday night at 6 p.m. — Kelly McEachern
Tennis team finishes second, sends three to districts The Vashon High School boys’ tennis team wrapped up a strong season last Friday with the Nisqually League Tournament. The Pirates finished second in the league, with a 6-2 record. Because the VHS team was so large and a variety of lineups were used to distribute playing time, this was a very good result and an indicator of the team’s strong overall depth. The league tournament sends the top three singles players and doubles teams on to the Tri-District Tournament. From there, the top four continue on to the state tournament held in the spring. Vashon was well represented in the league tournament with Peter Amick finishing second in singles and the team of Steen Jennings and Josh Tillman finishing second in doubles. Vashon’s other entrants — Thomas Douglas, Marquis Stendahl and Ian Peterson — all played well with close matches, but did not make the top three transfer positions. The Tri-District Tournament promises to be tough competition, usually tougher than the state tournament. Our district is easily the strongest in the state and has supplied the last four state winners over the past four years. Regardless of how the Pirates fare at Districts, they have had a great season. Despite the loss of a talented group of seniors, the team is very deep and should be strong again next year. — Jill Mulvihill

Loggers cut down the Pirates, 35-15 By CHERYL COCHRANE For The Beachcomber
Nestled against the backdrop of Whitehorse Mountain, the Pirates took on the Loggers in Darrington Stadium Friday night under crystal clear skies. A large contingent of Vashon fans made the three-hour journey north to cheer on their Pirate team. Despite the enthusiastic crowd, the Loggers pulled away early with 14 points in the first quarter, paving the way to a victory in a game that was plagued by frequent turnovers by both teams. On the fourth play of the game, a bobbled Pirate snap was scooped up by the Loggers and driven in for a touchdown and two point conversion. The Pirates regained possession but struggled to move the ball and were forced to punt on the fourth down. Darrington held the ball briefly before Vashon’s Chester Pruett intercepted a pass on the Pirate 48-yard line. Eight plays later, a Pirate pass was intercepted by the Loggers. Soon, a Darrington fumble on the 42-yard line was picked up by Pirate senior Ian McWhirter. On the very next play, the Pirates fumbled. Darrington capitalized on this mistake, recovering the ball and running it in from the Pirate 42-yard line. Vashon stopped the extra
point attempt, bringing the score to 14-0. In the second quarter, Darrington took possession deep in Logger territory following a Pirate punt. On the second play, Darrington fumbled. This time, Pirate sophomore Ronnie Krieger recovered the ball in the end zone for the first Pirate touchdown. Two fouls on the extra point attempt allowed Pirate senior Nick Amundsen easy access for a successful two point conversion. Vashon edged closer, 14-8. Darrington quickly answered back with another touchdown, bringing the score to 21-8 at the end of the first half. Late in the third quarter, Vashon’s Garrett Starr intercepted a long pass at the Pirate 31-yard line. For the next nine plays, the Pirates pushed aggressively forward toward the goal line. Sam Schoenberg found receiver Ezra Lacina in the end zone for the second Pirate touchdown. Austyn Heit’s extra point brought the score to 21-15. The Loggers scored twice early in the fourth quarter, including a breakaway 61-yard run. The final extra point kick was blocked by Evan Anderson, holding the Loggers to a 35-15 lead. Vashon travels again this Friday to meet the Chimacum Cowboys. — Cheryl Cochrane is the mother of a Pirate football player.

World Polio Day, October 24 – End Polio Now! World Polio Day is this Thursday, October 24. The Vashon Rotary Club is joining with nearly 34,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries to participate in Stop Polio Now! The Vashon Theater, which has given back so much to our community, will show Rotary’s livestream event on Thursday, October 24 from 3:30 to 5:00 PM. The event will feature outstanding speakers, celebrities, film and music. This year’s World Polio Day has particular significance in the area of global health as there are fewer polio cases in fewer places than ever before, and the effort recently received a $4 billion infusion in funds from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, world governments, and others. When polio is eradicated, it will make history as only the second human disease to be eradicated. Not only will polio eradication benefit the millions who will never suffer its paralyzing effects, but victory against polio will also set the stage for numerous other worldwide health interventions. Rotary, a humanitarian service organization with nearly 34,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas, made polio eradication its top priority in 1985. When Rotary started more than 1,000 children caught polio every day. Since then Rotary has since contributed US$1.2 billion, and its members have logged countless volunteer hours to help immunize more than two billion children in 122 countries. The results are impressive. In 2012 only 230 new cases of polio were reported. Eradication is within reach!!
Join with us October 24 at the Vashon Theater at 3:30 to see how you can help.

William “Bill” Ebby Deaton 6/28/1918 to 10/14/2013
Bill Deaton, 95, died peacefully at his home on Vashon Island, Washington, on October 14, 2013. Bill’s amazing life began June 28, 1918, in Winder, Georgia. He was the penultimate of twelve brothers and sisters, and grew up during the Great Depression on the farm leased by parents James Marion and Mirtie Verona (Williams) Deaton. He is unanimously remembered for his quiet, unflinching work ethic. Bill once confided that the proudest moment of his early life was being tall enough to drive the team of mules that plowed his family’s fields. In later life, his only regret was a gradual inability to work from sunup until sundown, as was his custom. Bill never lost the love of agriculture that was instilled at a young age. Every year, the gardens of friends and relatives were richly populated by the hundreds of tomato starts that burst from Bill’s greenhouse. The flowers and vegetables nurtured by his hands made the world greener, brighter and healthier. Bill’s life was profoundly changed when, at the age of 22, he made a leap of faith and geography, following older brother Roscoe to Southern California. He left work in the orange groves of Northern Florida on the assurance that jobs were plentiful in California. Not true, of course, but Bill took every opportunity that came his way and worked hard. His brother’s wife had a sister, Floy Elise Clack, who had also immigrated from Winder, Georgia, in search of opportunity. She and Bill married in August 1941. Like so many others, Bill attempted to enlist after Pearl Harbor, but was turned down because an early farming accident cost him the use of one eye. He was eventually drafted and served honorably in the Army Air Corp. from January 1943 until December 1945. Bill raised his two children with patience, humor and respect. Though never blessed with an abundance of money, he took his family camping and fishing, and instilled in his children a belief that, through hard work, anything was possible. Together, Bill and Floy called many places home, including Whittier, Redlands, Garden Grove and Atascadero, CA; Rogue River, OR; and Marysville, WA. Floy preceded him in death in 1986. Beginning on a sharecropper’s farm hit by the Great Depression, Bill’s life intersected with history, in moments both profound and humorous. While stationed at Hobbs Army Airfield in New Mexico, he unwittingly viewed the Manhattan Project’s first atomic explosion, from the nose cone of a B-17 bomber in flight. After the war, while working for a dairy, he made the first delivery of milk to a fledgling restaurant known as McDonald’s. Once, while driving a tanker truck full of milk down a Los Angeles freeway, a crate fell from the truck in front of him. Bill knew it was too dangerous to swerve, so he hit the crate head-on and watched incredulously as thousands of Oreo cookies rained down on his milk truck. Above all, Bill is remembered as kind and generous. He personified an era where helping one’s neighbor was simply a requirement of humanity. In his final years, Bill lived comfortably in the home he shared with daughter Linda, surrounded by loved ones who listened with rapt amazement to the stories about his life. Invariably, they would ask with a tacit wink when a certain event occurred, because his answer was always astoundingly precise. “That was about November or October –1927,” was a typical response. He is survived by his children Larry (Marilyn) and Linda; his grandchildren Billy (Marnie), Jason (Beth), Greg (Natalie) and Bryan (Laura); 11 great grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild. Although outliving all of his brothers and sisters, he is survived by numerous loving nieces and nephews. Memorial services will be held on October 26, 2013, at 11:30 a.m., at the Burton Community Church on Vashon Island. A separate graveside service will be held on November 12, at 11:00 a.m., at the Chapel Church in Winder, where he will be forever reunited with Floy. The family suggests that memorials be made to Providence Hospice of Seattle, 425 Pontius Ave. N., Ste. 300, Seattle, WA 98109. Please visit our online guest book at www.islandfuneral. com for more information. You will be missed, Papa Bill.

But Satori, a blonde woman with a closecropped, no nonsense haircut, a gentle voice and face that looks much younger than her years, has also reached beyond her peers on Vashon and Seattle to get a leg up in the competitive world of movie making. She’s sought out industry heavyweights to help her master her new craft — working connections to receive mentorships from director of photography Dan Kneece and camera operator and cinematographer Ron Vidor, who both have A-list Hollywood credentials. And in pursuing her new passion, Satori has also drawn on experience she has gained from three different careers she’s pursued through the years. Born and raised on a fourth-generation family farm in the Palouse region between Pullman, Wash., and Moscow, Idaho, Satori began her professional life in the garment industry, working as a pattern maker for companies including Levi Strauss & Co. and Patagonia after receiving a bachelor’s degree in apparel design. “From the age of 5, I wanted to be Edith Head,” she said, referring to the famous Hollywood costume designer. But after almost a decade in the garment business, Satori decided to switch gears and went to work for
