Pool to open next week Revealing history New exhibit delves into with temporary fix By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
The Vashon Pool will open for the season next week as part of a shortterm plan the park district approved last week. After a lengthy discussion at the Vashon Park District’s public meeting on Tuesday, May 27, the park board voted to address the pool’s drainage needs this summer by transporting waste water off the island at a projected cost of $7,500. Commissioners also decided to
postpone a decision about a longterm drainage plan, including a financial agreement with the school district, until later this year. The decision to proceed with a temporary solution, delaying a permanent fix to the problem, was met with mixed reactions by the heads of the park district and Vashon School District, which have disagreed over who is financially responsible for a drainage solution at the pool.

Islander is in demand on the Seattle film scene Recent film will play for First Friday By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD For The Beachcomber
In the past couple of years, Eric Frith’s work as a film editor has taken him to the tropical highlands of Rwanda, the snowy peaks of the Himalayas and the salmon-studded waters of Bristol Bay, Alaska. But he’s been to all these places, and more, without leaving the cozy
confines of a small studio in the backyard of his home on the island’s west side. Instead, film directors and others in the industry have frequently journeyed to Vashon to spend time with Frith in the studio, sitting by his side as he works his special magic to help them tell their stories of far-flung places. Frith, a tall, goateed 46-year-old man with sharp blue eyes that peer out behind stylishly sensible glasses, has become one of the most SEE FILM, 17
Vashon’s Native American past By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
When volunteers with Vashon’s historical museum set out to create a new exhibit on Vashon’s Native American history, they quickly realized they had a challenge ahead of them. While much is known about the Native Americans of the Puget Sound region, much is also unknown, as thousands of Native people were killed and countless artifacts destroyed in the years following Europeans’ arrival in the area. “Their culture was destroyed so rapidly, within 20 years or so of the first major contact in the Vashon area” said Rayna Holtz, a curator of the new exhibit, referring to the disease, war and internment which wiped out a majority of the region’s Native population. “The epidemics not only killed people, but so much collective memory of history and ways of life,” added Laurie Tucker, a board member of the Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Association who is curating the exhibit with Holtz. One late Vashon Native, however, has provided a peek into Native life, both good and bad, on the island. Lucy Gerand, a Puyallup woman who was born on Quartermaster Harbor in the early 1800s, gave one of the only public accounts of Native life on Vashon before white settlement. Many of her stories and the information she passed on are now the basis for The Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Museum’s new exhibit, “Vashon Island’s Native People: Navigating the Seas of Change.” In the extensive exhibit, which opens Friday and will run for nine months, Holtz, Tucker and other museum volunteers have laid out the Native American story on Vashon, from before European settlement through modern times.

Laurie Tucker, a curator of the new exhibit on Vashon’s Native heritage, takes out a 150-year-old cooking basket on loan from the Burke Museum. The basket will be one of a slate of Puyallup tribe artifacts on display at the exhibit, which begins this weekend. “We wanted to highlight what life was like before white people came, what life was like when (Native people) were struggling to survive and what life is like now,” Holtz said. Holtz, who retired from a long career at the Vashon Library a few years ago, and Tucker, who
still works there, both say they have been surprised by how little some library patrons know about the area’s Native past. “The average person on Vashon doesn’t realize there were Native people here,” Holtz said. SEE EXHIBIT, 20

Suspected drug dealer sentenced to almost two years in prison By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
A man who’s been called Vashon’s top methamphetamine dealer has been sentenced to 22 months in prison. Richard Arthur Grant, 48, was sentenced in King County Superior Court last Wednesday after being convicted in April of two counts of possession of methamphetamine. The charges stemmed from two arrests in May of last year. Both times Grant was arrested on warrants, and both times he was found to possess small amounts of methamphetamine. The sentence is welcome news to Grant’s neighbors, who say they have long suffered from constant suspected drug activity and related crime that centers around Grant’s home near the Vashon Airport. Heightened attention fell on Grant in 2012, when the body of a missing woman was found in a pond near his house. The King County Sheriff ’s Office ruled her death an accident resulting from an overdose of methamphetamine. Neighbors grew increasingly frustrated last year when Grant had a more serious drug charge — possession with the intent to sell — thrown out because of a technicality. “We’re very happy to have a sentence near the upper end of what’s he’s being incarcerated for,” said Frank Shipley, who lives by Grant. He and others in the area have said that they hope when Grant goes to prison, his off-island family will evict other people who are living in the home, which is owned by his mother, and clean up the place.
“Our hope in the neighborhood is that the family will take this opportunity to help the community resolve the problem now that Richard is incarcerated,” Shipley said. Kelly Wald, who also lives near Grant, said she too is thankful that he is going to prison this time, though she is unsure what will happen next at the house. She credited local sheriff’s deputies for their diligence in arresting Grant. “It’s the best we could have hoped for, rather than to have him go free,” she said. Paul Sewell, a deputy prosecuting attorney for King County, said he is aware of the problems surrounding Grant’s home and touched on them in court. “It wasn’t just a run-of-the-mill drug possession case. We understood it had some secondary and tertiary effects for your community,” he said. Two of Grant’s neighbors also spoke to the judge at a recent court appearance, and several wrote letters, something Sewell said he believes likely influenced the judge’s decision. “It let the court know it wasn’t just about Mr. Grant possessing some meth. It was about the effect he’s had on the lives of people around him,” Sewell said. Sewell said Grant had requested a shorter sentence in exchange for joining a drug treatment program, something the judge denied. Grant plans to appeal the conviction, he said, but the judge set his appeal bond at $50,000. The high amount means it’s less likely Grant will be let out of prison before the appeal.

The Barbie School’s last class is fast approaching as its teacher prepares to retire By SARAH LOW Staff Writer
Zoe Cheroke, a longtime fixture in Vashon’s early childhood education scene, will close the doors of The Barbie School for good at the end of her school day on Thursday, June 12, when she retires after a 39-year career of teaching island preschoolers. “I’m old, it’s time,” Cheroke said with a laugh in a recent interview with The Beachcomber. “My husband retired in January from the middle school; it’s just time.” Cheroke, who moved to Vashon in 1971, taught at an alternative school in the city for one year and with the Seattle school district for three years before she was laid off. Unsure of what she would do next, a friend suggested that she start a preschool on the island. “At first I wasn’t too interested,” Cheroke said, “but I thought about it for a bit and changed my mind.” Initially running the school for 4- to 6-yearolds out of her home, she explained that the school’s physical space took a little time to evolve. There was a move to someone’s barn, which Cheroke described as “interesting,” then a couple more moves before she and her husband built a permanent home for the school on their own property. The school’s name is also something that evolved as a story of its own. “My real name is Barbara, and people would call me ‘Barbie’ back then,” Cheroke said. “We didn’t actually name the school when it started, but when asked, the kids would always say, ‘Oh, I go to Barbie’s school.’ I liked it, I thought it was crazy and fun, so that’s what it became.” Since the beginning, Cheroke said that she’s always had enough kids enrolled to keep the school open, though her class size has varied a great deal over the years. Last year she only

Zoe Cheroke with the Barbie School’s class of 2013-14. had six students, which was the fewest enrolled since the early years. But this year she has had 10, which is a class size she likes, and there were some years she had two classes of 12 to 13 kids each. “It’s a cycle,” Cheroke said. “The numbers dropped when we saw lots of people leaving the island, but they’re coming back up now as we’re seeing families moving back. At this point, I’m actually teaching the children of kids that I taught years ago.” One thing that hasn’t changed much over her four decades of teaching, she said, is the kids. The only significant difference she’s seen is in the way that kids now understand and interact with nature and their environment, and that, she believes, has been influenced strongly by the island. Otherwise, she said with a smile, “The kids are the same.” Cheroke’s best memories of her long career are centered on all of the families that she’s had
the opportunity to know over time. Referring to them as incredible families, she said that they are people she wouldn’t have met otherwise. “We’ve had so much love and effort from our families, amazing support over the years from so many wonderful people.” One of those families is part of her own, as Cheroke welcomed her own granddaughter to The Barbie School this year, after her daughter and son-in-law, Danny Rock, moved to Vashon after Rock became the new principal of Vashon High School. Of the preschool, she explained that the building will become a guest studio on their property, a place for music and to hang out with visitors and friends, and she plans on donating her teaching materials and supplies to a new island preschool that will be starting up soon. “It’s been very fulfilling,” Cheroke said. “Not many people get to enjoy their job so much. I feel so lucky to have had such a fun career.”

Web retail shop expands with storefront in Burton Local computer repair shop closes its doors
New store offers Hawaiian shirts, housewares and more An island couple has moved their successful online retail business into the Burton Masonic Lodge, where they will open a small shop on Friday. At the new Spiceberry Home, owners Kevin Strel and Gisele Delanoy will offer apparel and home items they’ve been selling online for years, as well as some items they will order specifically for the Vashon shop. The couple has been selling what they call niche products online for decades through the web businesses Squish and Spiceberry Home, keeping inventory at their Burton home and other storage spaces. Running out of space for their growing operations, the pair was considering moving to Seattle when the old Masonic hall became available. They say the spot, which Bergamot Studio recently moved out of, has space both to keep their large inventory and to offer a small showroom and retail shop. They signed a three-year lease for the prop-

The back portion of the building is filled with shelves of boxes, and by Friday the front will be full of colorful Hawaiian shirts — one of the first products they sold online — custom textiles such as tablecloths, tote bags and quilts, and kitchen items, including Japanese and Korean specialty cookware.
Strel noted that some of their products aren’t normally sold together, but they have high hopes for the shop, which will supplement their online sales. They had a popup shop in Vashon town last holiday season, Strel said, and it was popular with shoppers. “We hope it will grow to be a going place for retail,� he said.

EDITORIAL
Take time to learn Vashon’s Native history, good and bad It’s not often that an exhibit at the heritage museum is featured on the front page of The Beachcomber. The museum has undoubtedly put on some robust shows, but we believe its next offering, which will be on display for nine months, is especially noteworthy. The Vashon-Maury Island Heritage museum’s latest exhibit, on Vashon’s Native American history, is in many ways the story of our island’s beginnings. It’s also a story that we don’t often hear. Before the Mosquito Fleet, before the early Vashon families whose names still mark spots around the island, a band of people inhabited the island who lived with a light touch and a proud culture for hundreds of years. Museum volunteers and the exhibit’s two curators have gone to great lengths to accurately and respectfully piece together what’s known about the Sqababsh people, a band of the Puyallup tribe that lived on Vashon and on parts of the Kitsap Peninsula. What they’re preparing to show is a painstakingly researched story of the Sqababsh and likely one of the most complete pictures of these people ever presented in one place. The steps they’ve taken to present an exhibit that’s both professional as well as fascinating and interactive are unlike any effort we’ve seen at the museum before. While the volunteers could have focused solely on the more pleasant points of Native history on Vashon — living off the land, traveling by water and Native culture — the exhibit goes far beyond that. While it’s well known that Native Americans were decimated by European diseases and war, some will be surprised to learn that the Natives of Vashon and the surrounding region were also sent to internment camps, similar to the injustices Japanese Americans experienced during World War II. This era, in which the island’s original inhabitants lost everything and were eventually placed on a reservation, is a sad part of our history, but it’s one worth learning. Museum organizers present this exhibit with hopes that it will not only leave islanders and visitors with a greater understanding of Vashon, but perhaps more importantly, that it will present the Puyallup people’s own story, helping us better understand the tribe today. One curator said it is not within the museum’s capacity to honor the Puyallup people, but she hopes they feel acknowledged and respected. We look forward to seeing the finished product, which we expect will accomplish what its curators set out to do. And with nine months of the exhibit ahead, there is plenty of time for islanders to spend an afternoon taking it in.
Memories of a father who painted My father got sick at the pinnacle of his career, when he was doing some of his best work as a Seattle illustrator. After years of fashion illustration, he was landing the kinds of assignments an illustrator dreams of — book covers, posters, magazine stories. One of my prized possessions is a reprint of William Faulkner’s “The Reivers,” beautifully illustrated by my father. He was also hired during those last years of his productive life by the Mariners, a brand-new team at the time, back in the day when companies hired real artists to do real illustrations. Though I knew these were plum assignments, I had only the vaguest recollection of his work for the Mariners. I was in college and paying scant attention to my father’s career. So it was quite a moment last month when I squeezed into a table at a crowded bar in Anacortes and glanced at the wall behind me. A framed piece of glass showcased Mariners’ memorabilia: a jersey, a pennant and a scorecard — or program — from 1977, the team’s first year of existence. The scorecard’s cover was a Norman Rockwell-esque painting of a mound conference — the catcher, the pitcher and three fans (an older man, a middle-aged woman and a boy) all conferring together, suggesting the community’s connection to this young team. It was richly hued, painterly, fun, evocative. And I was certain — though I’d never seen it before — that it had been painted by my father. I turned to my husband and said, “That’s a Dick Brown illustration. I’m sure of it.” I stood up, got close to the glass and squinted at the scorecard, hoping to see his signature. I didn’t. Still, I felt certain. I knew his style well. Everything about it said “Dick Brown.” I began Googling 1977 Mariner scorecards and found several for sale by collectors. None, however, mentioned the name of the illustrator. Days later, when I was

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vashon Pool
Districts should rely on effective dispute resolutions when moving ahead I am a professional construction neutral and dispute resolution consultant with more than 35 years of experience. I am watching with some concern the pool dispute play out like so many construction disputes I am brought in to resolve. As a tax paying member of this wonderful community, I would suggest a more effective dispute resolution approach, which would reflect the overall mutual interests of both parties and the entire Vashon community. 1. Separate the responsibility for the problem from the steps needed to promptly fix the problem first. Legal posturing and positions do not solve any technical problems. This is a common barrier in most construction disputes. 2. Take a mutual interests approach to the negotiated resolution. Conflicting legal interpretations are common in construction disputes, so it is often best to find a mutually-beneficial negotiated solution if possible. A professional facilitator or mediator can be very cost-effective and save both districts legal fees. A facilitated negotiation approach would emphasize the interests of the community stakeholders in quickly resolving the technical issues and opening the pool as scheduled. 3. Elected officials often have concerns about making concessions or settlements. If a settlement is not successful, consider using a neutral arbitrator to promptly and very inexpensively resolve legal and contractual responsibility for the problem. This decision can occur after having provisionally funded the technical fix to the problem. 4. The districts can agree to a provisional funding arrangement to fix the problem pending a final resolution and allocation of the final cost responsibility. This is common in construction disputes. I encourage the community to give discretion and space to its elected leaders to make judgments for the overall benefit of the community.

Former parsonage
Previous resident fondly recalls her home I was given the March 19 issue of The Beachcomber and was exited to see our former home featured as for sale. My husband was ordained into the Lutheran ministry at Vashon Lutheran Church on July 27, 1947, and moved into that house. It had been a rental for many years and once more became a parsonage. We were married in January 1948, so that is when I moved there. We used it for Sunday school classes, potlucks and any other meetings, as the church was the only other building. We had a wood-burning range in the kitchen with an attached water heater (I remember the lids rattling and the heater swaying during the earthquake of 1949), a wringer washer in the cellar (no cement floor), and an oil range in the living room heated the house. I have so many nostalgic, wonderful memories of our years on Vashon. A couple years ago when we were on the island, I asked the present owners if I could take a peek at our old home. They graciously and proudly showed me the wonderful efforts of restoration. We were thankful it was being maintained and would love to see it continue to be a part of the heritage museum so they are kept together. — Elaine Rodning

Q:
To view this blog & make comments, visit www.vashonislandrealestate.com/blog.html
We really liked that house you showed us last week but my husband is worried about the basement. He says the basement floors have all been recently painted and that might mean the sellers are covering up proof of standing water. How can we be sure the basement is dry?
A:
Let me first say that I’m not a fan of basements in the Northwest. With the exception of the daylight basements that are above the ground, most basements are wet. I’ve seen very few basements that are dry at all times of the year. Fortunately, many people here use sump pumps and drainage systems to try to keep the floors dry. There are several things to look for when viewing a basement in a home that’s for sale. First, does it smell musty and is there a mold or mildew odor? Sometimes that can be fixed with just better ventilation, but if you’re sensitive to mold and mildew it can be a problem. Next, watch for what looks like salt deposits along the walls which could indicate standing water is often in the basement. Sometime people do paint the floors and even walls to cover up water staining but there are often deposits on pilings or joist that show that water has been standing in the space. There can even be water marks on water heaters or furnaces in basements. Look for extreme settling cracks. All homes, even new ones, settle after they are built. We also are surrounded by earthquake faults in our region so cracking is common. However, a large crack, especially if it’s been patched or filled could indicate water has caused more than normal settling. Outside drains that take water away from the foundation are very important to keep a foundation or crawl space dry. A small amount of water is often in the basement or crawl space of the best constructed buildings, but a large amount of sitting water is a problem. There are often solutions to these issues but it would be best if those are paid for by the seller.

Art will be aplenty on the First Friday gallery cruise Most galleries are open from 6 to 9 p.m. Café Luna will hold a reception for Vashon painter Frederick Woodruff and his latest collection of work, “A Vashon Retrospective.” Woodruff began painting the acrylic and collage abstracts when he moved to Vashon in 2002. Ten percent of the show proceeds will go to the Vashon Interfaith Council to Prevent Homelessness. Island Quilter will exhibit work by The Color Girls. PSCCU will present work by Vashon artist Sharon Hines-Pinion with music by island singer-songwriter Harmon Arroyo.

His early pop harmonies were sung in 1968 with Ann and Nancy Wilson of the band Heart. Raven’s Nest will feature new hand-
engraved original jewelry by Tlingit master engraver Israel Shotridge. The nationally renowned artist recently received a National Native Art Fellowship Award. With the award monies, he purchased new tools to greater enhance his engraving. The exhibit will highlight a new collection of his bracelet designs along with pendants and necklaces. Shotridge will also be available to discuss jewelry commissions. In addition to the Shotridge collection, Raven’s Nest will exhibit original hand-engraved hummingbird pendants by acclaimed Nisga master artist Norman Tait. Snapdragon/Hastings-Cone Gallery will exhibit new works by Rick Barry and Ula Trudnos in a show called “Alexandra Leaving.” A reception will begin at 6 p.m. Kim Farrell’s photographs taken from her explorations in New Mexico and neighboring locales will be on display at The Hardware Store Restaurant. The photos reveal dramatic sky, sandstone, trees, old Spanish churches and other motifs.
Two Wall Gallery will host a silent auction run by The Friends of the Vashon Library. The group will auction a quilt called “Reading Colors the Imagination,” created by Donna Liberty to raise money for library programs.

See story below for more information. Vashon Allied Arts Gallery will exhibit watercolors, etchings and lithographs by Art Hansen, nature-inspired block prints by Yoshiko Yamamoto and figurative ceramic sculptures by Sandi Bransford. Hansen creates iconic images of Vashon and the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty. His life’s work is being chronicled by
Mother and son dialogue about art, collaborate for show By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
When island artist Pascale Judet invited her son Gabriel Judet-Weinshel to share a show at VALISE Gallery this month, his response surprised her. Instead of two separate exhibits, the New York City filmmaker and musician suggested he and his mother talk about their deep-seeded link as artists. Their joint show, “A Lifelong Dialogue,” opens. Friday at VALISE. The two artists’ mediums are different. Judet paints and uses collage on a range of surfaces and dimensions, from tiny stamp-sized miniatures on wood to large-scale canvases. Her iconic clock dioramas combine painting with model figurines. Judet-Weinshel creates films as the writer, director of photography and composer/musician for his company Wax Wing Films. Their worlds also couldn’t be more opposite. Judet lives on 35 wooded and pastured acres on Vashon, and JudetWeinshel calls Brooklyn home. But the two share a wealth of imagery that populates their artwork. Boats, water, visions of flight, trees, open doors and corridors, the earth, fertility, flat horizon lines and reckoning with death — these are the common territories each artist explores and that will be will evident in Judet’s paintings and in short

When Judet-Weinshel, a 1995 Vashon High School graduate, thinks back to the beginnings of his artistic dialogue with his mother, he likens it to an involuntary movement. “It’s been almost like breathing,” he said. “She was the first artist I knew and whose work I really liked. I don’t think I’ve ever not had that dialogue with mom.”
Davidson Gallery in Seattle. Port Orchard resident and Tokyo native Yamamoto specializes in Japanese wood block prints of natural subjects from Japan and the Northwest. Bransford of Bothell has a background in oil painting but a decade ago switched to clay. She uses mixed media and mid-range fired ceramics, found objects and textured surfaces in her sculptures. Donna Botten’s watercolors will be shown at the Vashon Golf & Swim Club. Vashon Intuitive Arts will display photographs by Josh Manwaring. Vashon Senior Center will hold an artist reception from 5 to 7 p.m. for a mother-daughter artistic duo. Geri Peterson, whose work is all about color and light, and her daughter Bonnie Bristow, whose ink art focuses on design and pattern, have created watercolors for a show that will run through July. Paintings by Claire Schlosser will continue to be on display for the month of June at the Vashon Tea Shop.
Judet says she’s been painting all of her life. Born in France, she moved to Berkeley for graduate school in 1970s, when she met her husband John. They moved to Vashon when Judet-Weinshel was 10. “Mom worked at home,” Judet-Weinshel said. “Then the dialogue was as simple as me walking into her studio and doing paintings together. It was less intellectual, more collaborative. It was being exposed — like osmosis — to her artistic approach that influenced my art making.” Judet describes her work as very personal and realistic, although during the last six months, she has found herself doing abstract scribbles. In the past her scribbles have led to images, she said. Right now, they remain scribbles. But Judet trusts the artistic process. “It is all there in my unconscious, and it opens a door when I am in that space. It connects me to something very important.” Gabriel says his mother’s work is highly emotional and highly intuitive. “Art is a natural impulse for Mom,” Gabriel said. “It is anything but pretentious. She is the most honest artist I know. I have always trusted her work.” Judet-Weinshel makes his living as a director of photography, some pocket change as pianist with a trio at New York’s Soho House and is creating a feature film called “Omphalos.” He credits Vashon for creating a safe and supportive community that allowed him to grow up to become who he is today. “Vashon has such an amazing amount of creative artists. And the landscape influenced me.” Though Judet admits she and her son have many connections and are “almost scarily alike,” their discussions now serve as helpful critiques. “We are very separate artists,” Judet-Wienshel added. “We trust each other’s opinion. It’s an ongoing dialogue.”

The gray wolf is the subject of the next VAA Science Series.
Next science talk will explore the lives of wolves The Vashon Allied Arts’ Science Series continues with a talk called “Wolves: Predator vs. Prey� at 7 p.m. Sunday at The Blue Heron. The speaker is Aaron Wirsing, Ph.D. and assistant professor of Wildlife Ecology in the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington. His research focuses on predator and prey interactions and how large predators can reshape ecosystems. Gray wolves have had a long history of being feared and hunted for their attacks on livestock. The animal is also venerated for its intelligence and complex social structures. In 2008, gray wolves began naturally recolonizing Washington after an absence of 80 years. Wirsing investigates the re-emergence of this top predator.

Popular Seattle rock orchestra will bring its beats to Vashon Imagine a 35-piece orchestra with strings, brass, percussion and a choir performing not classical music but a rock ‘n’ roll repertoire with renditions of hits by rock luminaries such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Stevie Wonder and The Smashing Pumpkins among others. Fortunately no imagination is necessary as The Seattle Rock Orchestra (SRO) will bring its unique orchestral interpretations of rock music to Vashon at 7 p.m. this Saturday. Billed by Vashon Allied Arts and the Open Space for Arts & Community as one of the largest single concerts in island history, the evening will include guest appearances by Ian Moore, V. Contreras and Zack Davidson and will also showcase two Vashon youth ensembles, i Solisti di Vashon and the Vashon Youth String Orchestra. Since 2008 SRO has captivated audiences throughout the Northwest. Recent milestones for the Seattle group include selling
out the Moore Theatre, playing to enthusiastic crowds at the 2010 and 2011 Sasquatch Music Festival and contributing strings on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ Grammywinning album “The Heist.” “This will be a rockin’ event for the entire family,” said Stephen Jeong, VAA’s director of performing arts. “Parents and grandparents will relive the classic rock days and share this music with their children. The collaboration between SRO and our aspiring young musicians will be the icing on the cake, giving participants an amazing memory and inspiring others to follow their passions.” Seattle Rock Orchestra will play at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Open Space for Arts & Community. Tickets are $12 for students, $20 general audience and free admission for children age 8 and under. They are available online at www.vashonalliedarts.org.

Island youth shoot for the top By JOE MATTER For The Beachcomber
Corinne Blair first picked up a rifle as part of the Harbor School/Vashon Sportsmen’s Club rifle elective back in seventh grade. She decided early that the sport of competitive shooting sounded like it could be fun. Blair, now a high school junior, made it to the National Junior Olympic Rif le Championships where she competed in April against the best in the country, including collegiate rifle athletes. Olympic Rifle takes a tremendous amount of focus and determination to take the perfect shot. For five years, Blair has been perfecting her skill in Olympic Rifle and Olympic Air Rifle. Blair has added to her growing list of accolades this year. As a member of the West Seattle Totems Junior Rifle Club, she competes on the first squad, nicknamed the Thunderbirds. A few weeks ago, the Thunderbirds won the American Legion National Team Championship. The team was sponsored by Vashon American Legion Post #15. Blair shot a 591/600 and finished sixth in the nation. She received an invitation to the individual finals, where the top 15 compete for the individual
Corrine Blair championship. Last week the results for the NRA National Indoor Championships were announced. Blair helped her teammates sweep the podium in the Junior 3-Position Air Rifle category by winning the Gold Medal, shooting a 593/600. She also added the title of National Intermediate Junior 3 Position Smallbore National Champion with a 571/600, which is awarded to the best 15- to 17-year old in the competition. She was also the bronze medalist in the Open 3 Position Smallbore Championship, in which she shot a 588/600. In the team competition of the National Indoor Championships, Blair helped her team win three national team titles as well as two second place finishes. The Thunderbirds won the Junior 4 Position
Smallbore National Team Championship, the Junior 3 Position Air Rifle National Team Championship and the Open 3 Position Air Rifle National Team Championship. The Thunderbirds took second in the Junior and Open 3 Position Smallbore National Championship and finished in the top 10 of the three other national events they entered. Islanders Tanner Venturi, Sumner Ames and Ethan Lopusznski also compete for the West Seattle Totems. Venturi took second in the sub-junior age class, 14 and under, in the Junior 3 Position Air Rifle National Championships. He helped his squad, the Chiefs, achieve first Intermediate Junior Team of the same match. Ames is a member of the Chiefs squad who took first Intermediate Junior Team of the Junior 4 Position Smallbore National Championships. Earlier in the season, Blair and Venturi both qualified for the National Junior Olympic Air Rifle Championships. They will travel to Camp Perry, Ohio, with their squads at the end of June. — Joe Matter is a member of the Vashon Sportsmen’s Club.

Lacrosse loses at state semi-finals Track athletes place well at state Boys’ team had excellent season, won 12 games The Vashon boys lacrosse team completed its season last Wednesday after being defeated 12-4 in the semifinals of state championship playoffs. They lost to the 2014 Division II champions, Seattle Academy. The Vashon Vultures advanced to the semifinals after a hard-fought, come-from-behind victory against Camas High School and entered the semi-final game with high hopes of reaching the state finals. Unfortunately, Seattle Academy arrived at Vashon Stadium ready to play and took control of the game early on in the first quarter. The Cardinal offense moved the ball well and found open players in front of the goal too often for Vashon. The Vultures rallied in the second half and were able to score four goals while slowing the scoring of Seattle Academy. Vashon played the entire game with intensity and heart, despite being behind on the scoreboard. “We were all disappointed with the outcome of the game,” coach Dan Macca said. “But I reminded all the players to look at the bigger picture. Last year we were a 2-10 team. This year

Annika Hille started the 2014 track season with a stress fracture, a carry-over injury from the basketball season. She ended her track season by placing 10th in the girls 1A long jump with a personal best of 16 feet, 5.5 inches. Kim successfully defended her state titles in three events from last year’s state track and field meet. She cruised to victory in the 100-meter dash in 12.31 seconds. The 200-meter dash saw Kim hitting the corner gaining momentum. After reaching full speed, she spent the last 80 meters with a sizable gap as she distanced herself from any threat of being caught at the line. Her time of 25.09 seconds was a personal best. Perhaps her best showing was in the
girls’ long jump, where her mark of 18 feet, 4.75 inches, would have taken the title in any classification at the state level. Peet took fourth place and medaled in the boys’ 1,600-meter race in a time of 4:27.47 minutes. Peet’s personal best for the mile is a 4:23.86, set last season. In the 2 mile (3,200-meter) event, Peet took home another medal by placing second with a time of 9:33.03 minutes. Earlier in the season, Peet ran his personal best time of 9:26.12 at the Shoreline invitational. A large contingent of parents and other family members made the 282-mile trip to Cheney to support these five accomplished island athletes. — Kevin Ross is the assistant track coach at the high school.

Vashon Senior, Rowing
Serving Vashon Island Since 1929
Five athletes represented Vashon Island at the WIAA 1A track and field state championships last weekend on the campus of Eastern Washington University. The participating island athletes were sophomore Abigail Kim, who attends Seattle Christian; junior Graham Peet, who attends The Northwest School and three Pirates: freshman Katherine Andrus, sophomore Annika Hille and senior Garrett Starr. In 1973 islanders John Rohwer and Jay Mathews had the top two marks in the triple jump, Rohwer at 42 feet, 6.5 inches, and Mathews at 42 feet 3 inches. After 41 years, Garrett Starr, in his final competition for Vashon High School, broke the school record with a mark of 43 feet, 1 inch, which earned him a fifth-place medal at state. “I am very excited to be a part of Vashon High School history,” said Starr afterward. In the triple jump, Andrus, in her first trip to Cheney, medaled by placing fourth with a mark of 35 feet, 8.75 inches. She, too, has become an accomplished jumper. She set the school record for the girls in this event at the district finals, which stands at 35

Vashon rowing alums reunite at championships By PAT CALL For The Beachcomber
Last weekend some of the country’s top intercollegiate rowing teams met in Indianapolis, Indiana, for the NCAA Women’s Rowing Championships, which also served as a reunion event for three recent graduates of Vashon’s junior crew. Coxswain Olivia Sayvetz (class of 2011) and rowers Alaine (Laney) Williams (2011) and Avalon Koenig (2012) were happy to meet up again at this prestigious regatta. Sayvetz will be a senior next year at Princeton in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and coxed her second varsity eight to a second-place finish in the A final. She has become an avid runner and also enjoys her academic program, where she has won a scholarship for summer study in London, Amsterdam and Venice to do research on the effects of sea level rise due to global warming. She cites Vashon for her passion for rowing and gives a call

Williams will be a senior next year, studying pharmacy at Northeastern University in Boston and was in seat two for the varsity eight that placed 18th overall in the regatta. Her six-year program of intensive study that will yield a doctorate plus the rigors of a top-ranked Division I rowing program don’t leave
a lot of free time for the hiking and singing, which she also enjoys. This year she has been selected for a National Rower-Scholar award and named to the first team of the MidAtlantic Region in rowing. Koenig will be a junior at the University of San Diego and rowed in the sixth seat in the second varsity eight, placing 15th in that division. Koenig is a communications major with a business minor and has found
a way to connect her sport and studies through the creation of videos that show what it is like to row in a collegiate program from the inside. With only about 2 percent of collegiate athletes participating in rowing, it remains a mystery sport to many, and what motivates the incredibly hard work and dedication for so little glory is revealed through her videos. She will be back on Vashon this summer for an internship with the BodyArmor sports drink company for whom she has become a passionate advocate and in which basketball legend Kobe Bryant is a major investor. All three women want to thank Vashon for the “big hearted� environment that nurtured their development as rowers. The chance to reunite in Indianapolis last weekend was a true thrill and inspiration for each of them. They represent the foundation of a program that has blossomed to national prominence over the past four years and each takes pride in that.

sought-after editors in Seattle’s redhot independent film scene. The controlled chaos on his desk reflects that. “You can see where my feet have worn a place on the floor under there,” he said on a recent misty morning, as he pointed to his workstation — a desk filled with papers, disks, two large computer monitors and a laptop. “I wind up working right here 80 to 90 percent of the time.” More décor in the studio hints at his other passions — there are stacks of paperback editions of books by literary giants, and a guitar rests comfortably against an old, upright piano. A small gas fireplace provides heat to the space, and two comfortable leather chairs give it a manly vibe. Working at home on Vashon, Frith said, gives him time to spend with his wife and soon-to-be 9-year-old son,
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
the opportunity to make music with a local band, Fendershine, and grounds him in what has increasingly become a demanding career. He’s lived on the island since the late 1990s. Frith’s job is one of the most important in the film industry, and it’s a complex one. According to another editor, Walter Murch, the career is something like “a cross between a short-order cook and a brain surgeon.” Editors look through hundreds of hours of footage shot on location and then piece the film together into a coherent whole — trimming, shaping and adding music, narration and other elements along the way. It’s a job that requires close collaboration with a multitude of other film artists, but most importantly, directors. Frith is best known as an editor, but he has also worked in the film industry as a director, producer, writer and story consultant. This year, four films that Frith has edited are playing in the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF).
And luckily for islanders, another of his recent films will play at 9:30 p.m. Friday at Vashon Theatre as part of Vashon Film Society’s monthly art film series. That movie, the documentary “Finding Hillywood,” is about efforts to build a film industry in Rwanda in the wake of the genocide that happened there 20 years ago. It was a hit at SIFF last year and an awardwinner on the international festival circuit. The film’s director, Seattleite Leah Warshawski, and Frith will attend the screening on Friday and stay for a question-and-answer session with the audience after the conclusion of the film. Frith said he was honored and inspired to work on the film. “To witness the birth of a film culture, and to see people who have never gone to a film before see one in their own language — that’s powerful stuff,” he said. “It’s about the power of

film to heal an individual and to heal a country.” It’s the second time this year that Frith has attended a hometown screening of a film he has edited. In April, the film society showed “Eden,” a film directed by Megan Griffiths and edited by Frith that is an intense, spellbinding movie based on a survivor’s true story of human trafficking. Both Warshawski and Griffiths have high praise for Frith’s contributions to their work. “Eric had a huge part of shaping the film,” Warshawski said. “He was really patient, and he has a great sense of story — he gets emotional about it, and he fights for what he believes in and won’t let you get away with mediocrity. It’s a hard balance to find — between speaking up for what you believe in and just going to work and following orders. Eric speaks up.” Griffiths also credited Frith with helping her bring her vision for “Eden” to fruition, and in the process, being a supremely easy person to work with. “Someone told me that Eric has a heart of gold wrapped in chocolate, and that’s true,” she said. “He’s really talented as an editor, and he gets to the emotional core of what he is doing.” Frith’s career in film began by happenstance, when he was given a job helping out at his college television station. At the time, Frith was an English major with a focus on creative writing at the University of South Carolina at Columbia. “I was thrown into a program that had

In Loving Memory
Martha Jean Harrington Martha Jean Harrington, 94, died peacefully in her Vashon home early in the morning of May 2, 2014. Martha was born February 15, 1920, in Seattle, Washington, to Ruth and Bill Meenach. She married Kenwood Titland after graduating from high school and they moved to Vashon in 1953, where they raised three children – Bill, Roberta and Joe. Martha later married A.C. (Deb) Harrington, a Vashon builder and contractor, and lived with him until his death in 1982. Martha was a true family matriarch. She was known for her devotion to her children and grandchildren (who knew her as “Grandma Martha”) and for her tireless energy, enthusiasm and positive spirit. She had a natural brightness that illuminated everything around her. For many years, Martha received great enjoyment from nature and particularly enjoyed hiking in the Olympics and exploring the ocean beaches in the Lake Ozette area with family members. In later years, she focused on her baking skills and dispensed her excellent banana bread, cookies and other treats to a wide variety of grateful recipients. Survivors include her oldest son Bill Tilland (Lynn), her youngest son Joe Titland and her daughter Roberta Middling, as well as five grandchildren – Jeff Middling (Tracy), Laurie Burns (Marty), Bonnie Tilland (Curtis), Colleen Tilland and Sam Tilland – and one great grandchild Mina Tilland Dye. She is also survived by Penny, her beloved Corgi. Asked recently what she would like to be in her next life she said,“I’d like to have more children, play music and be a surfer.” We all miss her and send our love. Martha has requested no formal memorial services. Remembrances can be directed to Vashon Island Pet Protectors (VIPP).
That film tells the story of Tom Kenyon, a scientist and shaman on a mission to integrate modern science and ancient mysticism through the power of sound. Scored by islanders Jason Staczek and Ian Moore, the film follows Kenyon on journeys from his home in the San Juan Islands to Tibetan nunneries, from cathedrals and caves in southern France to the gilded symphony halls of Vienna. Frith’s contributions to this year’s SIFF are rounded out by two narrative short films — “The Hero Pose” and “From the Sky.” Both are dramas about fathers and their children, but “From the Sky” also delves into the timely issue of drone warfare in the Middle East. Frith said he’s not out to only make films with meaty social content, though. “The shows I’ve worked on — what a gift,” he said. “It’s not my goal to just do socially oriented films. But it feels good to work on something you can get behind, socially and emotionally. These films have maybe cracked open a little something. That’s the part of it that makes me feel I’m doing something worth a damn.” — Elizabeth Shepherd is the former arts editor of The Beachcomber.
‘Finding Hillywood’ “Finding Hillywood,” edited by Eric Frith, will screen at 9:30 p.m. Friday at the Vashon Theatre. To find out more about Eric Frith and his work, visit www.byrdproductions.com,
Meiko Mae Nishiyori
1940 - 2014 Born in Tacoma, Washington in 1940 to Yukichi and Ayako Nishiyori, Meiko Mae Nishiyori was raised on Vashon by a pioneering Vashon family. She attended Vashon Island schools and was graduated from the high school in 1958. During summers on Vashon, she worked in local berry fields and was the star harvester of strawberries in any field in which she picked. Meiko was graduated from Central Washington University with a major in art and a minor in textiles. She taught art in public schools in Oregon for 30 years, first in Brookings, Oregon, but primarily in Redmond, Oregon. It was in Redmond that she raised her daughter, Richelle. There are generations of students in Redmond who developed a love of the arts as a result of their time in her classes. Her students exhibited their work at community events and at local colleges. She was loved by her students and respected by the community. After retirement, Meiko returned to Vashon and built a new home on the site of the old family home. She had a gift for making people feel welcome in her home. She loved laughter, fine art, classical music, family barbeques and her little dog, Dixie. She could find the good in people and the beauty in things. She is survived by the joy of her life, her daughter Richelle, by her two brothers, Taro and Roy Nishiyori and their families, and by her life-long friend, Ruth Johnson. She was laid to rest in Vashon Cemetery. A memorial service for Meiko will be held at 11:00am on Thursday, June 5, at Vashon United Methodist Church. Donations in Meiko’s name can be made to Vashon Island Pet Protectors, PO Box 245, Vashon, Washington 98070, www.vipp.org Please visit the online guest book @ www.islandfuneral.com

POOL CONTINUED FROM 1
Elaine Ott said she feels her board made a solid choice. “I think that $7,500 to keep the pool open while we make a more measured, careful decision is money well spent,” she said. “It is good to make the right decision for the long haul.” At the school district, however, Superintendent Michael Soltman said news of the decision surprised him. “I was not aware that to continue to haul water was an option,” he said. In recent months, the park and school districts have been working toward getting the pool open this summer, after it came to light that construction work at the new high school had interfered with the pool’s drainage. Officials at both districts believed the pool’s water did not drain to the school septic field, and those involved with the construction made decisions accordingly, leaving the pool’s filters unable to drain. What’s more, pool water is no longer allowed into septic systems, a piece of information that was lost in the recent staff changes at the park district. Park district staff have been working to ready the pool itself, while the school district has been focusing on finding a solution that regulators would approve and that could be implemented as inexpensively and quickly as possible. The Department of Ecology approved a potential solution last month. However, officials from the two districts have disagreed about who is financially responsible for any solution and costs incurred, and last month the park district, which operates the pool, turned the matter over to its insurance company. Shortly after, the school district, which owns the pool, asked that the park district pay half of the cost of the proposed solution — a pipe from the pool to a nearby drainage pond. School board members also voted to require that the park district be responsible for water monitoring required as part of the plan and any other needed measures going forward. With the decision the park board made last week, Soltman said the issues surrounding the pool and a potential solution have not changed. “We are in the same place where we have been for months,” he said. He added that the school district has invested $16,000 in identifying potential solutions to get the pool open and said he

expects that financial outlay to be taken into consideration with any final agreement. Throughout the spring, he has stressed that he believes communication between the two districts is essential to reach an agreement. “The only reasonable way is to work it out together,” he said again in an interview last week. At the park district meeting, Ott informed commissioners that the insurance company will cover the $25,000 the park district has already spent to prepare the pool this year and likely half the anticipated $32,000 cost of installing the pipe to the pond. Later, Ott noted that the dispute over the pool was never intended to be contentious. The district simply followed the advice of its insurance company, which was to not negotiate with the school district. At the park board meeting, however, conversation about how best to proceed sometimes gave way to commissioners voicing their frustrations with the school district and its proposal. “Why did they get to cut their losses?” Commissioner Bill Ameling asked at one point. “They caused the problem.” “Not only did they cause the problem,” board chair Lu-Ann Branch responded, “they are creating the solution. … To me that is like the fox in hen house,” adding she didn’t mean the comment in a negative way. Laura Wishik, an attorney who serves on the school board, spoke at the meeting, providing both historical context and insight into how the school district might proceed. In 2010, Wishik said, King County wanted to cease operations at the pool, but the school district did not want to take the responsibility on, in part because the pool cannot be operated during the school year without installing a cover and because the school district believes its mission is education, not recreation. The park district stepped in at that time, expressing the desire to run it, Wishik recalled. Wishik said she wrote the lease between the school and park district and stressed that it is not a typical landlord-tenant lease, with the landlord being responsible for what she called “externals.” “This lease does not say that,” Wishik said. “Because the only way I could convince my colleagues on the school board to accept keeping the pool instead of telling King County to fill the hole with concrete, which is what some of my colleagues wanted to do … was if the school district had no future

costs.” She added that during the high school construction, the school district paid $30,000 to hook up the pool’s toilets and showers to the septic system. No one disagrees that mistakes were made during construction, she said, but added she believes blaming one another will not help create a solution. “We thought and you thought that the rest of the water went somewhere that none of us had to worry about it, and we were all wrong,” she said. The majority of her colleagues on the school board “do not want to put a dime into the pool,” she told the commissioners. “The offer you have on the table in front of you is a major compromise,” she said. “We are putting some real money into keeping that pool going. But the only way a majority of the school board will put that money down is if we know it is the end.” Following Wishik’s comments, the park board commissioners picked up their conversation, considering the merits of various approaches, including a more expensive solution that might prove more efficient and cheaper in the long run. In the end, the board voted unanimously to open the pool with the water hauling solution, explore all its options and engage in conversations with the school district later. Wishik, reached after the meeting, said she feels good about the park board’s decision. “It is a good pause to take, and hopefully
we will end with a long-term solution that will work for everybody,” she said. Branch also said she welcomed the board’s decision, in part because it will give the part district time to gauge community interest in the pool. “I am not a pool-at-any-cost person,” she said. “The greater community has to support the pool as well.” Branch added that as the two districts move ahead, she believes an additional conversation should take place, this one about the school district’s role in offering swim programs. “Why do they think they do not have a role in educating children in the sport of swimming like they do in other sports, particularly when they own the facility?” she said. Acknowledging the contract between the park and school boards, she said she thinks there still might be options for more school district involvement with the pool. “Just because we have a contract does not mean it cannot change,” she said.
The pool will open Saturday, June 14, for lap swims from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Free swimming and a community party will follow between 1 and 7 p.m. with food, music, games and prizes. Season passes will be available at a discount, and people can also sign up for swimming lessons and sailing camp.
Kenneth M Van Fleet 9/3/24–5/30/14 Ken Van Fleet was one of the good guys. He fought bravely in the South Pacific during World War II, as a member of the United States Marine Corps. Ken’s experience as a Marine played a large role in how he saw himself and his place in the world. He remained ever faithful to his principles. Ken was a family man, deeply committed to the proper upbringing of children. He helped to raise 3 separate families, and continued to mentor young people throughout his life. For over a quarter century Ken developed a reputation as one of the most respected building contractors in his home state of New Jersey. He returned to the South Pacific after retirement, as a Peace Corps volunteer, and helped build a maritime school on his beloved island of Samoa. The school continues to thrive nearly 4 decades later. Upon moving to Vashon Island in 2003, Ken quickly became a fixture in the community, making friends wherever he went. He was often seen with one of the many elderly dogs he has adopted. It was in his nature to lead, to nurture, to inspire. Ken continued to touch those he encountered even as his health declined. His spirit always shone through. Ken is finally reunited with his blessed wife and soul-mate, Margaret Van Fleet, who left this earth far too soon. His children Jane, Jim, Sandra and Sam would like to express their gratitude to the Vashon Community Care staff who lovingly cared for Ken for over 4 years. They are the jewels of a treasured island establishment. Ken Van Fleet lived his life with integrity, bravery and devotion to family, community and country. He will be missed. “It does not matter where his body lies, for it is grass. But where his spirit is, it will be good to be”. –Black Elk

EXHIBIT CONTINUED FROM 1
According to Holtz and Tucker, it was only a few generations ago that Native American villages dotted Quartermaster Harbor. The Sxwobabc, a band of what’s now known as the Puyallup tribe, thrived on the natural resources of the area and lived what the women call an advanced and highly sustainable life on the island. “The complexity of their culture is comparable to any other great civilization,” Holtz said. That civilization, however, began to collapse soon after the arrival of Europeans, who brought with them diseases that by the 1850s killed over two-thirds of the Coast Salish people, the tribes that lived in the Pacific Northwest Coast. Those who survived, including Lucy Gerand saw the two cultures clash in the Puget Sound Indian War. Gerand, along with other Natives from Vashon and throughout the region, were interned at Fox Island in 1855 and eventually placed on the Puyallup Reservation. “One year a ship comes to take a few logs, and two years later you’re out of your home. Can you imagine that?” Holtz said. “I can’t even imagine what that was like.”

Gerand, who lost several children on the reservation due to poor living conditions and recurring epidemics, eventually returned to Vashon, where she lived with her family on a houseboat at Jensen Point. It was then that Gerand became a historical witness, interviewed by anthropologist T.T. Waterman in the 1920s and providing him with a motherlode of information about the region’s place names, living sites and buildings created by the Sxwobabc people. Gerand also testified in a 1927 Native claims case against the United States. She and over 150 other Natives argued that the Medicine Creek Treaty of 1854 did not provide sufficient land for the number of people to live on and that other promises were not fulfilled. “She gave practically the only details about life here before pioneers came,” Holtz said of Gerand. “And we discover what it was like to be coming back and picking up the vestiges of what was a good life.” The new exhibit tells the story of Gerand and the Sxwobabc people through historical photos, many of which have never been displayed in the museum before, a map of known Native villages, informational panels and interactive items such as a spinning calendar of the Sxwobabc seasons and an iPad app on the Twulshootseed language. There will also be a slate of artifacts from the museum’s

collection and beyond. Among the artifacts on display will be stone tools, a woven cedar hat, a child’s doll made of bear grass and a canoe paddle, along with a model of a traditional canoe. The centerpiece of the show is a 150-year-old cooking basket woven by Gerand’s own mother. Cooking baskets, Holtz explained, were staples of the Sxwobabc culture and were built to last. One basket could take 150 hours for a Sxwobabc woman to weave, but it could be used for up to five generations and in trading was worth as much as a canoe. The basket woven by Gerand’s mother is on loan from the Burke Museum. The Vashon museum had to pay to borrow the basket, and only after proving the museum building has proper security to keep such a precious artifact. Holtz, who has grown “rather attached to Lucy,” she said, called it a thrill to have the basket as part of the exhibit. A couple who has worked at museums professionally helped the Vashon volunteers build special cases to protect the basket and other artifacts during their time at the museum. “I can imagine that basket in the summertime sitting by a fire,” Holtz said, “in the wintertime cooking a big stew when it’s cold outside. … I feel that it emanates years and years of experience that may partly predate the settlement of Vashon.” Also on display will be a clamming basket used by the Puyallup people. Holtz said she and Tucker asked the Puyallup tribe to borrow the artifact specifically because Gerand supported herself and her family on Vashon by digging and selling clams. “We wanted to have a clam basket so people could see what she would have been carrying,” Holtz said. Another centerpiece of the exhibit, though not nearly as old, is an original piece of art the museum commissioned for the opening, using funds from a $3,500 grant from King County 4Culture. Shaun Peterson, a notable Puyallup artist with ancestral ties to Vashon, was chosen to create the piece, which features the octopus, or devilfish in the Puyallup tradition, made from water-cut steel, glass and hand-carved cedar. The young artist is known for creating traditional South Coast Salish art with modern materials and techniques. Holtz and Tucker said they hope the piece, which will be on permanent display at the museum, will symbolize the continuing relationship between the Puyallup tribe and Vashon. The octopus, as Peterson explained it, Holtz said, has been used as a symbol of the Puyallup tribe and can symbolize a group of people that reaches out across distances, both between bands of the tribe scattered throughout the sound and to welcome others. “I think that in both senses the octopus is pulling together people and also reaching out with a welcome to all people,” Holtz said. “That’s why he felt it would be an appropriate symbol to put there.” As Holtz and Tucker created the exhibit, they worked closely with a representative of the Puyallup tribe. Brandon Reynon, a tribal archaeologist who has been the pair’s main contact at the tribe, praised the effort on Vashon, saying some larger museums have permanent exhibits on the area’s Native American past, but tribe members are happy to see smaller museums work to present the area’s Native history as well. Like the women, Reynon said he doesn’t believe the Puyallup history on the island is well known. “To have the opportunity to have our Vashon Island story told is something we’re really excited about,” he said. “(People) could walk away from the exhibit and have a whole new outlook on the island.” Tribe members will also get involved this Sunday, when a group from Chief Leschi School, a Native American school in Puyallup, will perform for the exhibit opening. “We’re expecting singing, dancing, drumming, traditional dress,” Holtz said. Holtz added that she is glad the Chief Leschi students would have the opportunity to see the exhibit and she expects they will bring family members as well. “This will be an opportunity for some of these people to think about the last 100, 150 years of history, and I hope they feel respected and acknowledged,” she said. “Vashon Island’s Native People: Navigating the Seas of Change” will open at the Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Museum for the First Friday at 6 p.m. Friday. The exhibit will be on display through March 2015. For museum locations and hours, see www.vahsonhistory.org. The Chief Leschi School Song and Dance will perform at 2 p.m. Sunday outside the Vashon Library.

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption Oliver and his best friend Charlie were adopted as shelter kittens. When the owners moved they could not take them along. Oliver is “Mr. Curious� and likes to explore and check out what is going on. Oliver has great house manners and he would like to find a loving home with Charlie. Oliver came to VIPP on 5/7/14.
Charlie and his buddy Oliver were adopted from a shelter as kittens. Their owners have had to move and are unable to take them along. Charlie is “Mr. Social� and likes to be front and center. He will win you over the minute you meet him. He is what we refer at the shelter as a major mush cat, one who is totally sweet and lovable. Charlie came to VIPP on 5/7/14.
Dear VIPP, DEAR VIPP, Our family adopted Alice from VIPP about a year ago and I wanted to let you know she is such a wonderful cat. We were told when we adopted her she probably would never Alice be a “lap cat�– and we loved her even though we missed her return affections. But during the past 10 months she is evolving into a very affectionate cat. She spent the first month with us living under my daughter’s bed until we took in an 8 week old kitten. That got her out of the bedroom and and she mothered that kitten and slept with it in one of our family room chairs. The real turn-around came this summer. She comes inside in the evening to sleep on her bed in the family room and then moves to our bed in the middle of the night. Thanks for all the good work you do for animals. Nancy
