FLYING HIGH AT POINT ROBINSON
75¢
School, park districts disagree on who should fund pool fix School board sets terms for moving ahead By SUSAN RIEMER Staff writer

Sunshine and steady winds made for perfect kite flying weather on Saturday, which was Kite Day at Point Robinson. “This year’s conditions were as ideal as I think they could be,” said Captain Joe Wubbold, president of the Keepers of Point Robinson, which puts on the annual event. And it showed, as around 500 people made their way to the point throughout the day to fly kites, relax on the beach, enjoy live music and tour the lighthouse. Wubbold said that he noticed a larger number of people came from off-island for Kite Day this year, perhaps because of some press from the Seattle and Tacoma media as well as the better-than-average weather. In the past, Kite Day has been plagued by bad weather — one year it rained so hard that not a single person went. This year, the only disappointment came when one man’s kite got stuck in the radar tower. Wubbold said it may be there for some time as a reminder of Kite Day. “I don’t climb anymore,” he said. See page 13 for more photos of Kite Day.
The Vashon Pool is slated to open next month, but the island’s school and park districts are disagreeing about who is financially responsible to remedy the drainage problem there, a situation that could lead to litigation and the pool not opening this season. “We want the pool to open, no question,” said school board member Laura Wishik after a special board meeting Monday. “But it has to be in a way that does not bind the school district to further costs at the pool.” The school district owns the pool, but the Vashon Park District operates it. This arrangement began four years ago, when King County ceased running the pool as a cost-saving move, and the park district took it on. In previous years, the pool’s water drained to the school dis-
trict’s septic system. However, the construction of the new high school changed that, and officials at both districts learned earlier this spring that the pool’s drainage had been unknowingly cut off last fall during the building process. Since the discovery of the problem, the school district’s Capital Projects Manager Eric Gill has been working with a variety of regulatory agencies to come up with a solution. Last week, the Department of Ecology (DOE) approved a plan: a pipe that would go between the pool area and an existing drainage pond to the west of the facility. But such a fix is unusual, and the DOE will require considerable monitoring and testing to ensure no effluent travels as far as the wetlands on the district’s property near Vashon Youth & Family Services, school district Superintendent Michael Soltman said. “The park district will need to be extremely careful and cooperative in managing the SEE POOL, 20
UW helps rethink local agriculture Grad students suggest a co-op, improved farmers market By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
A group of University of Washington students is putting the finishing touches on several proposals — from revamping the Farmers Market to forming an island farmers co-op — in an effort to strengthen Vashon agriculture. The project is helping the students reach their goal of earning a Masters degree in urban planning, but those involved say it could also give the island’s agricultural community the boost it needs to take local Natalie Martin/Staff Photo farming to the next level. Cory Castagno presents an idea for the Farmers Market at a meeting last week. “The big plan is how do we develop Vashon as an
agricultural center,” said Nan Wilson, the chair of the Vashon Island Growers Association (VIGA) who has been working closely with the group. “It’s got a lot of small agriculture going on, which is all good … but there have been some barriers to growing.” Among those barriers, Wilson said, is that it’s nearly impossible for Vashon’s small farms to sell their products off-island. In addition, many would like to do better business at the Vashon Farmers Market, which has fluctuating attendance based on the weather and is not well-attended by locals. Since January, graduate students with the UW’s College of Built Environments have been meeting with representatives of VIGA, officials with the Vashon Maury Island Land Trust and local farmers SEE AGRICULTURE, 19

A new King County plan to allow cities to buy back Metro bus service will likely not prevent bus cuts on Vashon, according to Chad Lewis, a spokesman for the county executive’s office. Last week in the wake of the failure of Proposition 1, Executive Dow Constantine announced a new program to allow cities to purchase Metro transit service and avoid significant bus service cuts slated throughout the county. Each participating city would decide how to pay for the service — either through a new local tax or reserve funds — and agree to a contract with King County Metro. “Until the Legislature acts, I cannot ask cities to accept cuts they are willing to locally prevent,” Constantine said in a press release. However, Vashon, as an unincorporated town, has no city government or taxing authority to designate such funds for bus service. Under the new program, nonprofit organizations or companies can also purchase Metro service, but it’s unlikely that would happen on Vashon, Lewis said. “It is much more challenging when there’s no governmental agency,” he said. Vashon could also partner with another city to purchase Metro service, but Lewis called that unlikely as well, saying it is more likely that closely connected cities will partner up.

Prop. 1, which would have provided $130 million in annual funds for buses and road maintenance and repair in King County, lost with about 54 percent voting no. The measure called for a $60 car tab fee and one-tenth of a percent increase in the county sales tax. On Vashon, over half of voters said yes to Prop. 1. A Seattle Times analysis of detailed results recently released by King County shows that in most voting precincts on Vashon, voters were 50 to 70 percent in favor of Prop. 1. Three of Vashon’s 19 voting precincts were 70 percent or more in favor of Prop. 1. Those precincts were Carpenter, which is north of Vashon town, Shawnee in the Burton area and Burton on the Burton Peninsula. Vashon is now slated for small reductions on routes 118 and 119, which will each lose two round trips. Route 119 Express will also lose two runs. In addition to allowing cities to purchase bus service, Metro will undergo a financial audit focused on its policies for reserves and capital programs and a peer review of its operating costs. Industry leaders from around the country will participate in the peer review. Lewis said that if any savings result from the audit or peer review, the additional funds will be used to replenish Metro’s reserve account, which was depleted during the recession. “The only thing at this point that would prevent cuts in certain areas would be groups coming forward and signing (service contracts),” he said.

Blooms & Things for sale as owners retire
All roads lead \W /ZIVVaÂź[ The best prices on an amazing assortment of items that you will ever see!
By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
Who’s here this week? Jason out? Tiny in? Come see for yourself. Open Memorial Day.
The owners of Blooms & Things are retiring and selling their popular floral shop in Vashon town. Carol Ahlfors, who owns the business with husband Chuck, said the two are retiring to spend more time with their daughter and grandchildren. The business, which is in a leased space, is now on the market. Ahlfors said the move is bittersweet, as she and her husband will miss the shop, the business community and the islanders they got to know through Blooms. “It’s hard to leave the people who have been here from the get-go,� she said. The couple purchased the shop almost five years ago and have made many improvements there, including expanding the floral offerings, holding classes, offering event rentals
and building the Bloom Room, a space behind the main shop for classes, parties and other events. Recently Ahlfors led an effort for Vashon wedding and event vendors to collaborate on advertising, hoping to draw more wedding and event business to the island. Ahlfors, who is coordinating the group, said she expects someone else will step up to keep the effort afloat. “I made sure I wasn’t the critical man with that,� she said. “I’m optimistic that it will continue.� Ahlfors said she and her husband hope to find a buyer that will keep the business going, as there has long been a florist shop in that space. Absent a buyer, they plan to keep the shop open through at least early fall. “We’re looking for someone that will keep this corner going historically as a florist. ... It has to be someone who can keep the quality and product of the service at parr with what we’re doing,� she said.

Island seniors and disabled residents can now get help with a variety of household chores and yard work tasks through two programs that serve the island. Neighbor to Neighbor, operated by the Vashon Senior Center, is flourishing, said senior center Executive Director Ava Apple. Since the program launched in November, a cast of 15 volunteers have helped 25 islanders with roof repairs, putting air in car tires, changing light bulbs and simply stopping by to read once a week.
Apple said Neighbor to Neighbor has plenty of hands to help other islanders with free services, and people who would like assistance with projects should call the center. For now, Apple said she has enough volunteers, but will be reaching out for volunteer drivers in a few months. At the same time Neighbor to Neighbor is taking root, Volunteer Chore Services (VCS), run by Catholic Community Services, Catholic Family & Child Service and Catholic Charities, is looking to expand the number of both its clients and volunteers on Vashon, said Tiffany Perri, a volunteer coordinator with the program.
GYk[YdÛGq #ONSTRUCTION )NC
“Ten and 10 would be wonderful,� she said. VCS has operated on Vashon since the program’s inception in 1981, Perri said, and among those who have been helped is a woman who has been receiving assistance since 2002. The senior center’s Apple said she will reach out to Perri to see how the two programs can best work together. Services through VCS are provided to eligible people regardless of their religious beliefs, Perri noted, and volunteers and staff come from all walks of life and represent different religious beliefs and spiritual values. For more information, contact Perri at 253-8502525 or tiffanyp@ccsww.org.

A worker puts the finishing touches on two columbariums installed at the Vashon Cemetery on Monday.
New columbariums at cemetery double space for urns Running out of space for cremated remains, the Vashon Cemetery recently installed two new columbariums. Lisa Devereau, a cemetery district commissioner, said the project cost around $20,000 and that she was glad to see it finished by Memorial Day, when there will be ceremony at the cemetery. The funds for the columbariums came from the cemetery district’s budget, which is supported by local tax revenue. “We save money up to have enough to do capital improvements,� Devereau said. The cemetery’s original columbariums have only five of 96 spaces left for sale. Each
space holds up to two urns. The two new granite columbariums, installed near the older ones by the flagpole, also have 96 spaces. Devereau said she is also pleased to unveil on Memorial Day a new covered kiosk at the cemetery. The large shelter, built by Vin DeBlasi for his Eagle Scout project, covers the cemetery’s plot directory and map. It also has room to shelter a casket and several people for small ceremonies on rainy days. “I think they’re great,� Devereau said. “It shows we’re putting some money and effort into the cemetery to make it look beautiful.�
This holiday weekend islanders will have ample opportunities to pay their respects to service men and women with the traditional Monday ceremony, a photography exhibit and a quilt show. American Legion Post 159 will hold its annual Memorial Day Service at the Vashon Cemetery to recognize all those who served in the military and their families. The service will begin at 11 a.m. Monday and will include a color guard, music, the placing of wreaths by Vashon service organizations and a Memorial Day address. Chris Gaynor, an islander and Vietnam veteran, is a longtime member of the post and has assisted with planning the event. Many islanders know Gaynor as the photographer behind the acclaimed exhibit, “Home of Record: Vashon and the Vietnam War,� which hung in the Heritage Museum in 2011 and 2012. About 20 of those photos, which he took between January of 1967 through February of 1968 on his tour of duty in Vietnam, are hanging

Fifty patriotic-themed quilts, such as the one above, are part of the show Quilted in Honor on display at Island Quilter. in CafĂŠ Luna this month. Four letters he wrote, each from a different period of of his tour, accompany the show. “After so many decades, the young man who took these pictures is something of a stranger to me,â€? he writes in the shows introduction, “and I marvel at how so many good images were captured under such harsh conditions. Those who are looking for dramatic battle scenes or epic heroics will be disappointed. Instead, these are portraits of a group of young men, kids, really, who bond deeply through the crucible of war.â€?
He invites the cafe’s patrons to look at the photographs and take in a bit of what he and those he served with experienced. “This is history; it happened,� he writes. “Perhaps someday we will understand why.� Just a short walk from the cafe, a show called Quilted in Honor will be on display at Island Quilter until June 5. The exhibit, which contains more than 50 quilts, is traveling the United States and is raising funds for Operation Homefront, which provides emergency financial assistance and other means of support to
families with members in the military and to those wounded while serving. Quilt store owner Anja Moritz said she first saw the show about a year ago and reserved it for the store for this month because of the holiday. “I wanted to support the cause,� she said. “I thought we should have it hanging here.� Many of the quilts, most in red, white and blue, were made by luminaries in the quilting world, Moritz said. The show opened on the First Friday gallery walk — but only with some help, said Paul Robinson, Anja’s partner, who also works at the store. The arrival of the quilts was delayed until mid-morning the day the show was supposed to open, and they were hung in time only because a former Army Ranger, who lives in Tacoma, happened to come to the store to see the exhibit. W hen Robinson explained what happened with the show, the man — Michael Huffman — said, “Let’s get to work,� Robinson said. He helped hang most of the show, which will be on display until June 5.

EDITORIAL
Navy dentistry is not a Carnival Cruise
Agencies should cooperate to move foward at the pool
A mass casualty drill held here on the island a few months ago reminded me of my own experience with emergency training. It might surprise you that I was a dentist with the Marine Corps. Well, it surprised me, too. You see, when I got my letter of acceptance to school, I went to the Army, Navy and Air Force to see if I could get a few bucks for tuition in exchange for a hitch in the service. It turns out the military was full of dentists, and getting funds for school was not an option. But the recruiters talked about service to my country, adventure, so forth and so on, and I decided to join anyway. After some thoughtful contemplation over a few beers, I elected to join the Navy. I envisioned myself perfecting a suntan on the flight deck of the USS Nimitz. It would be the military’s version of a Carnival Cruise, without the norovirus. As graduation approached, I got my assignment — with the Marine Corps. I immediately called my recruiter and explained that there must be a clerical error as I joined the Navy. After a snarky chuckle, he explained that the Marines were a department of the Navy, and as any Marine will tell you, it’s the “men’s department.” So instead of enjoying the azure waters of the Pacific, I would be enduring the heat and dust of a California Marine Corps base. It wasn’t without its perks, however, as every year I would find myself in the hinterland of Camp Pendleton trying all kinds of new things like shooting an M-16 (teaching a bunch of dorky dentists how to use an assault rifle is a story all by itself), or inhaling the piquant fragrance of tear gas or caring for patients in a mass casualty situation. This was a time
Just as we thought the Vashon Park District was beginning to come out from under the fields debacle, the agency finds itself in another tough situation. The Vashon Pool, operated by the park district but located at the high school, is now in need of a fix that could cost tens of thousands of dollars. It’s not clear who is responsible for the problem, and now neither the school district nor the park district, which is hurting for money, wants to take the bulk of the responsibility for paying for it. It would be a shame if this conflict led to the pool shutting its doors for the summer. In a small town, a community pool is an invaluable asset. On Vashon, it’s the only pool open to the public. Countless children have learned to swim there, and playing at the pool is a healthy activity for kids during the dog days of summer. A local swim team holds practices there, and swimming is an excellent activity for people to stay fit into their later years. So far, we’re not impressed with how the park board has handled this situation. At times they have not acknowledging their part in the construction error that led to the problem. Commissioners have refused to come to the table with the school district to seek an agreement, and one board member seemed to suggest that the schools cover the cost of the fix simply because they have more money, an idea we disagree with. The school district, on the other hand, has now put forward a reasonable proposal, offering that the two agencies split the cost of fixing the pool. This seems fair, especially considering a hold harmless clause in the park district’s contract with the school district. And as one school board member noted, it’s not the school district’s mission to provide recreational opportunities on Vashon, but to educate. The schools are not in great financial shape either, and the Vashon Schools Foundation is still in the midst of raising thousands of dollars to sustain quality educational programs on the island. When the park district took the pool from King County in 2010, some were wary, as public pools tend to cost money rather than make money. As the district got into financial trouble at the Vashon Fields, the financial burden of the pool was even more apparent. And now that an unexpected cost has come up, the district has new fields but no reserve fund to dip into. We’ve heard the park district discuss it’s financial obligation to the community, an important consideration, but board members should consider their boarder community commitment as well. The park district should take the school district up on it’s offer. Doing so would be a decent deal for the parks, which could pay over time, would maintain the relationship between the two districts, avoid litigation and would get the pool open about two weeks later
HUMOR By CHRIS AUSTIN when our country was ever vigilant against pinko commies and their weapons of mass destruction. One year we practiced for chemical warfare using MOPP gear. In case you’re not up on your acronyms, MOPP stands for Mission Oriented Protective Posture (not to be confused with MOPS, Mother’s of Preschoolers). MOPP gear is an outfit made to withstand chemical agents, with rubber on the outside and a charcoal substance on the inside, which is worn over a regular uniform. They are made in a one-size fits all fashion, meaning they will fit over the largest human genetically possible. The jacket’s sleeves came over my hands; the trousers’ crotch was at my knees, and the overboots looked like a pair of flippers. However, since you cannot move very well in flippers, the lowest bid contractor’s solution was to have a string run from the end of the flipper to the ankle, and when pulled, it would curl the end like an elf shoe. This ensemble was completed with a hood that went from the top of the head to the shoulders, making the wearer look like a giant shiitake mushroom. After donning the garb, we were put in groups of three and waited 20 yards away from the triage tent in the merciless summer sun. When our turn came, we took off as fast as anyone with their crotch at their knees could go. At our rate

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
STAFF PUBLISHER: ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR: CIRCULATION:
we wouldn’t save the day, but we might have been able to save the night. Once inside, we spotted our victim, a department store mannequin in a camouflage uniform, and pinned to the blouse was a laminated card listing various symptoms. Running down the arm was a rubber hose held in place with nylon hosiery. This was supposed to be a typical human vein. An instructor was assiduously taking notes as I picked up an IV with gloves so thick a volcanologist could use them to poke lava. Our goggles were fogging over, so we could barely see, and because of our massive hoods, we could barely hear. My colleague with the laminated card looked at me and said, “hi.” It seemed like an odd time to be cordial, but I waved back. He looked at me again and said, “hi” again only louder. I waved back harder. He then flipped up his hood and gasping for air yelled, “I said high blood pressure!” I raised my hood as well and sucking in fresh air said, “Well why didn’t you say so!” The instructor was tight lipped and clicked his pen against a clipboard. He exhaled heavily and said, “You two are dead.” Then my other colleague lifted his hood, and I gave him the bad news that he had just passed away. With heads hanging low, we shuffled in our elf shoes to the exit. Outside we emptied canteens over our heads and discussed the exercise. We were all in accord that it’s generally a bad situation when the victim remains the same and all the rescuers die, but we did agree that in this case it was better off to be dead.

donations. Candidates with the most money win 90 percent of the time. One’s voting record determines whether he or she gets a particular donation. Whose interest is an official going to consider on any particular vote? That is why you don’t have much influence in Washington, D.C., these days. Since the Supreme Court, through two recent decisions, has interpreted the US Constitution as saying that money contributions to campaigns is equivalent to free speech and protected by the First Amendment and that corporations have rights equivalent to people, existing laws regulating campaign funding have largely been ruled unconstitutional, and any future law is likely to suffer the same fate. We have only one more month to gather signatures for I-1329, and we have less than 100,000 of the 300,000-people target. Nine out of 10 people on Vashon want to sign this petition, but we are frustrated with too few signature gatherers. Won’t you help us gather signatures to get this important resolution on the ballot?

Those in power aren’t leading society in the right direction

the wisdom or state of consciousness that was committed to truth, honor, dignity, compassion, courage and love, for those are the values that are necessary to secure and sustain freedom and justice in perpetuity. Instead, all too often, those who acquire great wealth or power continue to reward themselves with more and more of some narrow vision of what they already have or want. Many of the most popular tourist and vacation spots in the world are artifacts of what the powerful people of their day were able to build but which later fell into disuse, decay or meaninglessness when their societies lost sight of those values mentioned. And so we have pyramids, castles, religious artifacts, ruins, museums and the like to visit and photograph, leaving us to wonder how long our own artifacts will last and who will they inspire. And it doesn’t matter who the powerful people of their day were; some were secular, some religious. No society or religion yet has been able to educate all of its citizens on the value of truth, honor, dignity, compassion, courage and love. At least not enough to have confidence that when any citizen of that society rises to a position of leadership, he or she will possess, exemplify and expand those values, inspiring future generations to carry them forward in a sustained pursuit of life, liberty and happiness for all. — Mark A. Goldman
I am convinced that there is no system of government, no economic system, no constitution, no set of laws that will produce a free and just society if those who acquire power over others do not themselves believe in freedom and justice at the core of their being. Throughout the ages, societies have risen and then fallen because those who came to power never acquired

Schools foundation
Donations are still needed to fund top priorities for schools We would like to thank all the donors who supported public education on the island with a donation to the Vashon Schools Foundation during the recent GiveBig event. The Seattle Foundation’s 24-hour GiveBig challenge raised an amazing $12.8 million dollars spread over 1,500 non-profit organizations. About 30 different and diverse Vashon-Maury island non-profit organizations participated. The Vashon Schools Foundation specifically targets our short spring pledge drive to include the GiveBig online giving event. However, we are still trying to reach our Priorities One fundraising goal of $316,000, which includes maintaining current teaching levels, buying new textbooks that are desperately needed and funding a preschool program expansion. We are grateful to the community members who have supported the schools foundation this year and urge those who have not yet to consider a gift to the foundation. — Laura Bienen and Zabette Macomber

May 14). I want to point out that my “refinery” produces biodiesel for my family’s use, not for sale or public consumption. A more accurate statement if I were to lose access to the Bike’s oil would be: “I’m out of luck,” as there is no business involved.
Q: A:
To view this blog & make comments, visit www.vashonislandrealestate.com/blog.html
I sent you one of my best friends and you refused to show her the house she was interested in. What gives? I trusted you when I bought my place and thought you’d do a good job with my buddy. Obviously you’ve changed.
I have changed. I am now even more phobic about landslides and septic issues, flood zones and permitting. The house your friend wanted to see is not livable. It’s in a location that doesn’t even have real access and it will not qualify for a loan. In addition, it’s in a landslide hazard area and a flood zone. I offered to show her other places, but when it comes to the obviously dangerous and unlivable “bargains” I’m just not going to go there. If something is a real bargain you can bet there is a reason. Particularly with waterfront places today, you have to be over $300,000 to find a tiny place that’s livable and be willing to spend well above that figure to find a “real” house. If the price is lower, watch out. When you’re talking about other categories, like view, or inland homes, there is also a price point below which you are asking for trouble. I sometimes sell “fixers” to investor clients who fix them up and rent them or sell them for a profit. But these folks are experienced and sophisticated about the costs involved in repairing or remodeling a house. I would not feel comfortable selling a serious “fixer upper” to a first time home buyer or someone who doesn’t have the funds to really make the place livable. Our prices are climbing again. That’s great for sellers but not for buyers. When you add that we always have a small inventory of homes to sell as well as rising prices, it means many people will be priced out of our market. That’s bad news for younger buyers, retirees and lower income families. However, your friend is qualified to spend a little more and get a decent home. She just needs to be realistic about what she should buy.

The Vashon Senior Center got summer off to an early start with its second annual Chicken Plunge fundraiser on Saturday, when about 20 participants (pictured above) took to the water in Quartermaster Harbor off of Jensen Point. The event brought in about $1500, which will be put toward the cost of the completion of the center’s new kitchen. “Participation was about half of what we had last year,” said Ava Apple, the senior center’s executive director, “but we raised about the same amount of money so that’s not too bad.”

High school students roll out a disco musical By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
Another Greek myth rolls into the Vashon High School theater, this time in the form of the pop-rock roller-disco musical “Xanadu.” For the next two weekends, VHS students will don roller skates to give this Broadway hit some amusing wheels. In a campy twist on a traditional Greek theme of romance between a demi-goddess and a man, “Xanadu” is set in the 1980s at the height of the disco era. Clio, a beautiful and alluring Greek muse, descends from Mt. Olympus to none other than Venice Beach, California, with a mision to light a fire under Sonny, a struggling artist whose dream is to create the first-ever roller disco. Their story unfolds to a score composed by pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne and John Farrar and includes hits like “Evil Woman,” “All Over the World,” “Strange Magic,” “I’m Alive” and the title song, “Xanadu.” VHS drama teacher Stephen Floyd did not intend to put on another show based on a Greek myth after he directed students in Ovid’s “Metamorphoses” last Februray. But extenuating circumstances led Floyd to choose “Xandu.” He needed a small cast with a good script and engaging music. His first choice, he soon realized, had a paltry score. When a fellow island thespian suggested “Xanadu,” Floyd looked into it. He liked the script and the score and so did the students. “It’s an interesting story,” he said, “but I’m glad I didn’t see the movie until after reading the script. The movie was awful.”
The 1980 film “Xanadu” starring Gene Kelly and Olivia Newton-John was critically panned but eventually became a cult classic. When Douglas Carter Beane adapted the script for the stage, the musical became a Broadway hit. As for the actors on roller skates, only a couple will skate throughout the show, with most of the cast rolling in for the finale. During rehearsals somebody inevitably goes down, but Floyd said he feels that the experience — as long as no one gets hurt — provides an opportunity to learn how to stay in character when something unscripted happens. Floyd notes that audiences often remember those moments best. A keyboard, guitar and percussion trio led by music director Maggie Laird will accompany the singing, dancing and skating performers. Susan Hanson, former VHS principal, co-directs the play. Floyd invited Hanson back after her retirement. “I wanted Susan to be able to direct in the new theater space,” Floyd said. “We’ve had a long partnership. This is our ninth show together. It’s been a long and easy collaboration.” Two other VHS alum will add their creative input to “Xanadu.” Sarah Mercer Ceder will choreograph the dance scenes, and Tanner Montague, home from college for the summer, will design the lighting. Floyd said he likes to include former students to give them more experience working in the theater. “It’s nice to offer them a short-term summer job.” Floyd said, “But best of all, I love seeing them grow up.”

VHS awarded large grant for public art By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
Vashon High School recently received one of the largest state-funded grants for K-12 public art in the history of the Washington State Arts Commission, recieving a $125,000 award for original artwork to be installed at the newly constructed school. Now, a committee of representatives from the school district and the arts community have selected an artist who will soon work with school to create a large outdoor installation on the school’s west lawn. “For VHS, receiving one of the largest budgets in the history of the state means the artwork can be substantial,” said VHS principal Danny Rock, “and that makes what is possible really exciting.” VHS received such a large grant for the art in part because of a change in the state’s orientation toward public art. Five years ago, grant recipients would pick a piece of art out of the state’s collection. Today, recipients participate in the process that results in original site-specific but still state-owned art. Once they made that shift, Rock said, the state also increased the grant allocation, which gave more money to fewer recipients. Grant monies are raised from half of 1 percent of capital appropriations for new construction and renovations. Capital projects include K-12 public schools, state colleges and universities and state build-

The west lawn of VHS will be the site of a new art installation. ings. VHS qualified to apply for the grant based on the school’s recent construction. When Rock first learned of the grant in November, he formed a committee of island representatives from all of the school’s stakeholders — students, parents, school board, staff and district members plus local artists. Facilitated by Rebecca Solverson of the Washington State Arts Commission, the committee was tasked with first determining what art would best fit the spaces in or around the new building, while also meeting the needs of the school. “We started that process by asking what is it about Vashon that is important to us,” Rock said. “What are the values we hold and the personality traits of this community. We listed those out, winnowed them down and
came up with a refined list of characteristics.” Those characteristics included a connection to nature and art that is engaging, dynamic and interactive with the landscape. The committee then wove the notion of community into the two points, Rock said. Those criteria became the lens through which every aspect of the selection process was viewed — while also following strict state guidelines — including the choice of artist. The state provides a list of 300 qualified international artists. Several Vashon artists are on the list, but according to Rock they were either unavailable or weren’t a good fit for the project. Rock’s committee narrowed the pool of 300 artists down to 60, then to a dozen after viewing past work by each of the artists. After the group looked at 10 pieces of art for every finalist, one artist clearly rose to the top, Rock said. The group wants someone who can listen and take their cues from the community and environment, Rock said, and they want the installation to be outside and made of a natural material like stone. “We didn’t want the piece to be too esoteric, but we didn’t want something too literal that was not thoughtprovoking. We wanted something with just the right amount of mystery and suggestion.” The selected artist will spend several days on the island in June, talking to students and faculty and touring the island. She will submit a proposal in the fall. Once the committee approves the design, the final piece will be installed on the expansive green lawn on the west side of the school for the 2015 school year. “It’s all very exciting,” said Rock, “and very affirming, both for the school and the island to receive a public art grant as large this one.”

Strong soccer season ends at playoffs
Crew sends record number to Nationals
By BEN BORK
Coach Richard Parr has been tuning the Vashon junior crew for a peak performance at the Northwest Regional Championships for the entire spring season, and last weekend the team did not disappoint. Junior crew sent a record 10 boats and 18 rowers on to the National Championships to be held at Lake Natoma in Sacramento next month. A hot and humid day greeted the crew at Lake Vancouver outside Vancouver, Washington, on Thursday, when over 1,300 rowers from 26 clubs arrived to unload boats and gear from their trailers and assemble them for the “combat” over the next three days. Weather conditions on Friday and Saturday were ideal, with very light breezes leading to some extraordinary times turned in by area crews. On Friday morning, Vashon’s varsity crew advanced eight boats to Saturday finals in seven events. Then the team powered through by placing in the top three in all seven events on Saturday, with three second-place and four third-place finishes. On Saturday the Vashon juniors qualified four more boats for Sunday finals, and then under rapidly deteriorating con-
For The Beachcomber
The most challenging games the VHS boys soccer team has faced were in the last week of the regular season. The varsity squad started with a subdued performance and ended with a great upset over the Nisqually League leaders. On Monday Vashon played Eatonville High. Eatonville was a team that had zero wins and that the Pirates had dominated earlier in the season, 7-0. On this day, however, the Pirates struggled to tie up the match and hold off the opponents. But in the end they did exactly that and the game ended 1-1. Two days later was a game against Seattle Christian. Previously this pairing had resulted in a tie. Seattle Christian went ahead by two goals and it appeared that the boys from Vashon were in for a repeat of Monday’s match. The Pirates eventually started passing and had good movement on and off the ball. Vashon finished the game with a 4-2 victory. The final game of the regular season was played against first-place Bellevue Christian. Bellevue’s record was 15 wins, 0 losses and 1 tie, and Vashon had lost in Bellevue 5-1 earlier in the season. The Pirates would go down 1-0 by halftime, but finely took command as Anthony Gateman stepped up and calmly shot the ball into the back of the net to tie it up. They held off the league leaders for 20 minutes, until a breakthrough finally came in the last minute as Austyn Heit burned the outside defender and then the Bellevue goalie for the go ahead goal. The final score was 2-1 as the Pirates handed Bellevue its first loss of the season and claimed third place in the Nisqually League heading into playoffs. In the Tri-District playoffs, Vashon faced a tough Blaine High School team. The physicality of the Borderites was a surprise but did not go unchecked from the Pirates, and situational play, at times, was left for the players to scrap it out on the pitch. The field was fast, and Gabe Reoux scored a tying goal off a corner kick only to have a lapse in the Vashon defense see Blaine go ahead again. Vashon spent the rest of the match dominating possession and looking for the equalizer. Ultimately their season ended with a 2-1 loss. The fight was there, but it was not the Pirates’ day to win. — Ben Bork is the coach of the VHS boys soccer team.

The Vashon Junior Crew ranks third in the country with its 10 boats that have qualified for Nationals. Team members going to Nationals are, back row: Patrick Hanson, Baxter Call, Jacob Plihal, Tate Gill, Fletcher Call, Jack Mask and Forrest Miller; front row: Madelyn McEachern, Riley Lynch, Kalie Heffernan, Kirsten Girard, Emily Milbrath, Hannah Russell, Mia Croonquist, Taegan Lynch, Bryn Gilbert, and Virginia Miller; lying in front: coxswain Callie Andrews. ditions placed in three of those four races. Boats going to Nationals are the men’s and women’s quads, men’s and women’s doubles, men’s and women’s singles, men’s lightweight double, women’s lightweight double, women’s lightweight four and women’s pair. In junior varsity and novice races that don’t qualify for Nationals, Vashon rowers entered 14 races, placing in eight of them and winning four. Winning boats were the women’s novice double (Katrina Heffernan and
Rhea Enzian), the men’s JV double (Patrick Hanson and Tate Gill), the women’s novice quad (Riley Lynch, Enzian, Heffernan, Adriana Yarkin and, coxswain Cody Clevenger) and the men’s JV quad, where in their last race for Vashon, seniors Alexander Wright and Ethan Rumburg stroked their boat to a win into an almost unrowable gale (joined by teammates Lorenzo Higuera and Liam McConnell). The men’s high school eight took first place in its late Sunday race (and second overall in the event).
earning the right to throw Parr into Lake Vancouver (Vashon success in an eight race is a rarity). The women’s high school eight dressed in pirate garb and shouting “argh” as they proceeded down the course failed to defend last year’s title but still placed a very respectable third. The junior Crew will raise funds to assist in sending the rowers to nationals with another car wash and bake sale scheduled for Saturday, June 7. — Pat Call is the father of two junior rowers.

Tennis stands up to league opponents Track athletes qualify for District meet By LISA BROUGHAM For The Beachcomber
The VHS girls tennis team wrapped up its season on a beautiful tennis day with the Nisqually League tournament at Charles Wright on Friday. The team had an upand-down season this year, plagued by bad weather and missing players. Almost half of its matches and numerous practices were rained out. The girls started slowly and finished with a 5-6 record, but always felt when their entire team was available they could compete with any team in the league. After a long day at Charles Wright, the season-ending tournament proved their faith was well justified. The Pirates finished first and third in singles and third in doubles, a great result in what was a strong year in the Nisqually League. Each school brought two singles and two doubles teams to the league tournament. In doubles, junior Sinath Hurd and sophomore Siena Jannetty played well but were eventually eliminated by the other VHS doubles team made up of

players reversed losses they had to Charles Wright players during the season with convincing wins. Senior Madeline Hille played a great tournament and took third place. Sophomore Taryn Mulvihill had a strong tournament and won the singles, securing the Nisqually League title. Unfortunately, only the top two singles and doubles advance to districts, so Mulvihill will go to the district tournament later this week while Hille and Koenig/Quig are alternates. The league tournament was a great ending to a season marked by a good turnout and tremendous improvement from the entire team. The prospects for next year’s team look excellent, with many skilled returning players. — Lisa Brougham is the assistant coach of the VHS girls tennis team.
With regular season complete, each Pirate track athlete entered the two-day League Championship at Eatonville High School with a spot at the Tri-District meet on the line. With an 80-degree day of preliminary races on Wednesday, May 14, followed by finals on May 16, excellent performances were had by all despite the heat. Eight of Vashon’s own landed in the top-five finishers of their respective events, qualifying them for the Tri-District meet at Kings High School on Thursday. Sophomore Annika Hille started her season with an injury acquired from basketball season and spent much of the spring recuperating in hopes that she could continue competition at the same level as her first year of high school track. Placing at State last year in her jumping events must have been a motivation to come back to League this year and claim her spot at the District meet, so that she can continue to prove that an injury can’t stop her. Hille qualified in every event she competed in at League, which included the 100 meters, 200 meters, long jump and a 4-by-100-meter relay with teammates junior Emily Browne, freshman Annie Muller, freshman Kat Andrus and alternate freshman Lauren Jenks. Hille’s fellow relay team member, fresh-

Andrus placed first in the triple jump with a massive personal record of 35 feet, 2.5 inches. Joining Hille and Andrus at Districts will be the rest of the successful 4-by100-meter team, senior javelin thrower Philip VanDevanter, senior long- and triple-jumper Garrett Starr and senior Maddi Groen, who qualified in the 3,200 meters. — Maddi Groen
Fast-pitch, in fourth, aims for playoffs Last week the Pirates fast-pitch softball team played two games, one league and one non-league. The league game against Eatonville was a crucial game for the Pirates’ playoff hopes. Vashon rose to the occasion, beating the Cruisers 12-3. The non-league game was played more like a scrimmage for Vashon, as the result didn’t matter, and Vashon won 30-29. In their first meeting of the year, Eatonville beat Vashon 8-4. That game came very early in the year, and the Pirates have improved drastically since then. The Pirates’ bats got going right away as they scored two runs in the first inning. Sophomore Lilly Hennessey hit a triple in the first inning. Senior Pitcher Gabby Frazier held the Cruisers scoreless through three, finally giving up one run in the fourth. Eatonville would only score two more runs in the game as Frazier went the dis-
tance, giving up six hits and striking out 11. Vashon sealed the deal by exploding for a six-run inning in the seventh. Freshman catcher Hannah McArthur hit a two-run out-of-the-park home run in the inning. In the end Vashon blew Eatonville away with their bats and are still on track for playoffs. In the non-league game versus Cleveland, Vashon rested most of its starters as the game doesn’t count against its record. Both teams struggled with pitching, walking lots of batters. Vashon did win 30-29, but the game meant little to the Pirates. Their last game of the season was on Tuesday after press deadline against Cascade Christian. At the time Vashon was tied for fourth in the league, and to hold their number-four seed and make it to playoffs they needed to win the game. — Ezra Lacina

Ezra Ende drives toward the goal for a shot.
The boys high school lacrosse team finished its regular season last week with a dominant victory over South Kitsap, 19-1. Vashon secured first place in the Olympic division with a win over Division I Stadium High School, 13-5, on Senior Day, a day dedicated to honoring outgoing seniors. During the matchup with Stadium, Winter Krimmert scored a season-high seven goals and one assist, playing his best game of the season. In the same game, Ezra Ende and Griff Jennings scored a pair of goals, while senior midfielder Evan Anderson had a goal and an assist. Vashon enters the playoffs as the numberone Olympic seed and will face Camas High School at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Vashon High School stadium. Coach Daniel Macca said that it has been an “incredible year” for the lacrosse team. “We entered the season as virtual unknowns, but all that changed as soon as we began dispatching Division I teams,” he said. “We started the season with one goal, to win the

AGRICULTURE CONTINUED FROM 1
to discuss the challenges of farming, the Farmers Market and possible solutions. They also put out a detailed survey taken by more than 100 islanders, about 30 of whom said they were farmers. Ideas now presented by the students range from somewhat simple — better promotion of the Farmers Market, more covered space at the market or building small cabins to house farm interns — to more ambitious — moving the market to a new location or developing a Vashon farmers co-op that would deliver off-island. They will present a final set of plans with details on how to achieve them at a public meeting in June. “At this moment, we’re looking for feedback,” Wilson said. “Pretty soon we’ll be looking for people to step up and champion whatever we decide we’re going to move forward on.” When the UW group first came to the island, students began to consider how community farming on shared land may be a boon to Vashon. They used Misty Isle Farm as a model location and worked with the land trust, which was looking at the property for farmland preservation. However, the students quickly learned that island farmers aren’t interested in collaborating so closely and want to retain separate farms, said Branden Born, an associate professor at the College of Built Environment’s Department of Urban Design and Planning. In addition, he said, the owner of Misty Isle asked that the group stop discussing the property, which is not on the market. “That was off the table for two reasons,” he said. Groups of students from UW have been undertaking such community planning projects for years, Born said. Another studio is currently crafting a comprehensive plan for Port Orchard; they’ve worked for the Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association in Seattle, and students were recently re-invited to the small town of Buckley to update a comprehensive plan that they wrote there. The department only takes on projects in communities with limited resources. “We basically do projects that otherwise would not get done,” Born said. Last week the Vashon group, in its third public presentation on the island,
presented the idea of a forming a Vashon growers co-op. “No one would have to give up their identity as a farmer; you would just come together,” said Sarah Cubillos, one of the students, at the presentation at the Sheffield Building. The students explained that as part of a co-op, farmers could collaborate on advertising, marketing and distributing their products to grocery stores, restaurants and farmers markets off-island. Such a group could also lead efforts to make the island more attractive to farm interns and to build a shared commercial kitchen with cold storage, something required to prepare products such as jams and preserves but that few farms could afford by themselves. A commercial kitchen or refrigerated delivery van for the co-op would likely require buy-in by members, but could then support

itself from revenue generated, according to Jake Tracy, a UW student who said the commercial stood out as a priority in their recent survey. The kitchen, which the students estimate would cost as little as $19,000 to build, could be rented out and classes could be held there. Survey respondents suggested they’d be willing to share capital costs of the kitchen, even listing dollar amounts totaling $17,000 “That’s nearly all of the cost for setting up the kitchen right there,” Tracy said. In 2012 another group from UW proposed a slate of ideas for beautifying Vashon town and other parts of the island. The students, which were studying architecture, put forward ambitious ideas that ranged from remodeling storefronts to reopening Portage and rehabilitating the Beall Greenhouses. Those involved with this studio class, however, say they’re aiming to present
islanders with practical steps they could take and advice how to achieve them. In June the students will leave VIGA with a set of detailed plans for their proposals, which will include step-by-step guidelines, suggestions for organizational structures, estimated costs and potential funding sources. “We are really more about where the rubber meets the road and what the community can actually do,” said Cory Castagno, another student in the group. Wilson, with VIGA, said she is looking forward to getting final plans from the group so VIGA can go to its members and the community for feedback. She anticipates that implementing any ideas that Vashon decides to take on could be a multi-year process. “The real challenge is to get as much participation as we can and make sure this is something the community wants,” she said.
Howard Wesley Cherry III July 11, 1941 - May 16, 2014 Howard Wesley Cherry III died peacefully in the afternoon of May 16, 2014. Howard was born July 11, 1941 in Salina, Utah to Wes and Jerry Cherry. He attended the University of Utah and after school he worked for many years in medical equipment sales. He was married to Joyce Sanderson and divorced. They had two sons, Howard Wesley Cherry IV and Matthew Cherry. Howard was a kind and loving trouble maker. He loved the opera and classical music, roses, and a good cup of tea. He enjoyed traveling and would take long wandering road trips around the Southwest exploring geological and cultural history. Howard loved a good conversation and was always happy to engage in debate on topics of religion and politics. He was a strong supporter and believer of individual rights and freedom. He wasn’t afraid to speak his mind, even when it got him into trouble. He also made a damn fine hummus. Howard had an adventurous spirit that was contagious, and was always game for new experiences. For many years while living in Seattle, his curiosity led him to enroll in continuing education classes at the University of Washington. He particularly enjoyed studying early Western American history, Roman history, and Japanese American history. Howard moved to Vashon Island in the fall of 2011 to be closer to his son and daughter-in-law, Wes and Laura Cherry and his grandson, Quentin Cherry. In 2012, Howard was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Howard’s family is forever grateful to Knipp Hopper Homes of Vashon, WA for providing Howard with a comfortable and loving place to spend his last two years. Howard is survived by his mother Jerry Cherry of Richfield, UT, his sister Ann Thompson of Payson, UT, his brother Kevin Cherry of Salina, UT, his son Matt Cherry of Midway, UT, his son and daughter-in-law, Wes and Laura Cherry, of Vashon, WA, and his grandson Quentin Cherry. A celebration of Howard’s life will be held on May 31, 2014, 4pm at the home of Wes and Laura Cherry in Vashon, WA. A second memorial will be held in Salina, UT at a later date. Rest in peace, Howard. We will miss you so much!

POOL CONTINUED FROM 1
pool to the conditions of this solution,” he added. If discharging the water is managed well, the solution will work, he said, but if potentially harmful waste is detected in the wetlands, additional measures will be needed for the pool to continue to operate. Those measures, Soltman said, include a surge tank, which would meter out the pool’s waste water, and if problems persist, the installation of an infiltration trench. The engineering firm working with school district estimates those two measures would cost as much as $57,000. In Monday’s school board meeting to discuss the potential solution, the board authorized Soltman to negotiate with the park district to cover 50 percent of the cost of the proposed fix, estimated to be no more than $40,000. This figure includes $14,000 the park district has already spent on engineering expenses related to the project. The school board also laid out several conditions the park district must meet. It will require that the park district pay for any measures that might be needed beyond the proposed solution, that the park district be financially responsible for all the expenses related to hauling waste water from the pool — a process it has been relied on to ready this pool this spring — and that it adhere to DOE’s conditions for the drainage fix and their associated costs. These requirements would be a included in an addendum to the pool lease the park district has with the school district before any construction would begin, school board members said. Following the meeting, school board member Bob Hennessey said he believes this is a fair proposal. “We want to do our part to make sure that opening the pool is a reality,” he said. “We’re willing to meet (the park district) more than halfway.” He also noted the different missions of the two districts and how those missions affect the school board’s decisionmaking. “The school district’s primary responsibility is to educate our kids. The park district collects something on the order of a million dollars every year to operate parks and recreation facilities,” he said. “We think this is a realistic way for the pool to be open this summer.” Soltman said that he we will proceed with the proposal this week. “The board gave me parameters for a proposal, and I will present those to Elaine and seek an opportunity to discuss how we can move ahead,” he said late Monday evening. Soltman added that the school board knows that the park district is in a tight financial position and is willing to let the park district pay over time. The pool is slated to open June 15, and Soltman said meeting that target is still possible from the school district’s perspective. “I think we still have a great opportunity to put the solution together and to have it in place by June 15,” he said. “We will see what happens.” In an interview early this spring, Ott explained some of the history of the situation, including that current laws do not allow for pool water in septic systems. No one thought this was an issue, however, because the park district’s former maintenance manager incorrectly informed the school district in 2012 that the pool water did not drain to the school’s septic field but instead went to a storm water system. That same year Jan Milligan, then the director of the park district, signed an agreement with the school district stating that pool water would not go into the school district’s new septic field, built at the same time as the new high school. Neither the maintenance manager nor Milligan is currently employed by the district, and board members who served at that time say they had been unaware of the document. Adding to the picture, some school district officials say,

Built in the 1970s, the Vashon Pool has provided countless hours of entertainment and exercise for island youth. is that during construction they requested as-built drawings of the pool from the park district, but the park district could not provide them. The school district moved ahead with the drawings it had, and when new sewer lines were installed, old lines were abandoned, including the one that ran from the pool filters to the sewer system and which the school district believed had been abandoned. Now, with summer fast approaching, the school board’s decision is coming at a time of some tension between the two districts regarding who will pay for the pool fix and related costs to ensure that the pool opens this summer. At last week’s park district meeting, Ott told the park board that the school district wanted representatives from both boards to meet the next night to discuss next steps for the pool but added that the park district’s insurance company did not want to the agency to discuss financial agreements. “Their contention is that it (financial responsibility) rests with the school district,” Ott said. In the conversation that ensued, park district commissioner Scott Harvey suggested — based on a conversation he’d had with Hennessey — that the park district pay $5,000, half of the approximately $10,000 construction estimate to install the pipe. The park district had no assurances its expenses would be covered and it might even face a larger liability, he said. “It’s time to get it done and move ahead,” he added. Other commissioners disagreed, however, noting that if the district would agree to pay any amount now, that might convey liability and preclude the insurance company from paying the park district’s pool costs in the future. In the end, no park board members favored a meeting with their counterparts on the school board, leaving the next steps to the school district. Some park district commissioners suggested the school district should foot the remaining bill, with the financial responsibility to be sorted out after the pipe was in place. “If we’re only talking $5,000, the school district has got $5,000,” commissioner Bill Ameling said. “They’re not broke. The $5,000 is nothing.” For a short time last week it seemed that progress had stalled, but on Friday a potential break-through seemed to emerge when Ott announced that the park district’s insur-

ance company had given the district the OK to provide half the estimated $7,500 to help fund the installation of the proposed pipe. (At the time, Soltman thought $7,500 would cover the cost of construction, but that proved to be incorrect.) A payment would not imply wrong-doing on the park district’s part, Ott added. She also said her agency had turned the matter over to its insurance company and that the two districts’ insurance companies would figure out which agency is responsible for expenses incurred so far. “We have a fiduciary responsibility to manage our money,” Ott said Friday. “We pay a lot for our insurance. It makes sense to use them.” By placing the situation in the hands of their insurance companies, she added, the financial dispute between the two agencies would likely become less personal. “I want our relationship (with the school district) to be solid,” she said. “I have a good working relationship with Michael Soltman. I want that to remain.” Soltman agreed that he and Ott have a congenial working relationship but said that the involvement of the insurance companies is not as simple as it might sound. The two insurance companies have very different ideas of who is responsible financially to remedy the problem, he said, adding that a clear determination of who is responsible likely can only be made through litigation. He noted, too, that when Ott informed him she was turning the matter over to the insurance company, she apologized sincerely and said the insurance company had informed her that if it paid any claims, it would seek to recover the funds by suing the school district. Ott, out of town this week, was unavailable for comment, but Soltman said he is optimistic that it will not come to litigation. “For the amount of money that we’re talking about to reach a solution, it would be ridiculous to litigate it, and it makes much more sense to collaborate on a solution,” he said. Monday’s school board meeting came too late to reach park district representatives for comment before press deadline. The next park district meeting is slated for 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 27, at Ober Park. It is expected they will discuss pool issues then.

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption Miss Spotty was left behind when her person

Home Services Hauling & Cleanup
Home Services Landscape Services
moved out of her apartment. The landlord got Spotty to VIPP and she came to live for a few days as an office cat at the Fletcher’s. She proved to be a great Gal Friday where she would mind the office during business hours as well as off hours. She would be great in this roll. She is a personable greeter and she is chock full of style and class. Miss Spotty is spotless in her grooming and litter box usage. She came to VIPP on 5/5/14.
Claire turned 3 in April. She was born on the island, the youngest of three kittens. She is very sweet and likes to comfort you when you’re sad. She loves attention and will meow if you forget to pet her. She’s always quiet at night and likes to sleep in bed with her owner. She loves chasing after bugs and playing with toys. Claire also loves to climb, chase and scratch at a scratching post. She spends her summer days taking cats naps in the sun. She appreciates gentle handling and although she doesn’t always like to be held; she will warm up to you and can be trained to crawl into your lap. Claire prefers adults and older children who can respect her boundaries and be gentle with her but once she trusts you she will reward you with friendship and love.
Dear VIPP, A stray cat was brought into VIPP and fortunately he had a micro-chip. This cat was Tinker - a kitty that had been on VIPP’s Lost and Found page since 2009. After being missing for over four years, Tinker was reunited with his owner, Cindy. Cindy was a foster for the Seattle Humane Society when she decided to adopt Tinker. He lost his eye to the herpes virus as a kitten but that didn’t slow him down. Tinker went missing when they were visiting a friend on Sandy Shores on Maury Island. Somehow, he managed to get to Lisabeula where he lived as a stray fed by an elderly man who passed away in the spring. It will always be a mystery how Tinker managed to get so far away from home. Tinker and Cindy were so happy to be re-united. The photo says it all.
