Islanders disagree on best approach to pesticides and bees By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL: VASHON’S BIG WEEKEND A cacophonous parade full of costumes, music, dancing and kids rolled down Vashon Highway Saturday morning, signaling the start of Strawberry Festival weekend on Vashon. The allure of not only a parade, but live music, festival food, shopping at booths and fun for kids again drew thousands to the island, tying up ferries and crowding town. If the number of porta potties used is a measure of the weekend’s success, which festival organizers say it is, then this year’s event was again a hit. Festival attendance was strong, even on Sunday, when sunny skies gave way to clouds and sprinkles. Sue Stinson, event manager for the Chamber of Commerce, said she was surprised by how many visitors and vendors told her this year that the festival had brought them to Vashon for the first time. “That’s part of what festival is about,” she said, “getting people interested in Vashon.” Pictured above, boys from the Bouska family rode in their family’s antique fire truck in the parade. For more photos of the parade and the festival, see pages 14 and 15.
Customers who walk into Kathy’s Corner and look up in the boughs of the sprawling willow tree there will see a thriving bee hive strapped to a branch high off the ground. “I love bees,” store owner Kathy Wheaton said recently, pointing the hive out to a guest. “I have been a beekeeper for many years.” Wheaton, who has owned Kathy’s Corner since 1971, has recently found herself at odds with some islanders who believe that for the health of bees and other pollinators, a class of pesticides called neonicotinoids — or neonics — should be removed from local store shelves. But Wheaton, who said she has put in more than 150 hours in the last six months studying the issue from all sides, is not so sure. “I care about Vashon, and
I care about the earth,” she said. “But I am not ready to pull neonicotinoids.” The issue of neonicotinoids and their effect on bees has been in the news recently on Vashon and far beyond its shores. Earlier this month the Natural Resources Defense Council filed a petition against the Environmental Protection Agency, asking it to withdraw its approval of neonics because of their harmful effect on bees. Closer to home, Eugene, Oregon, and Spokane have banned the chemicals on public property, and this week the Seattle news agency Grist reported that a National Wildlife Refuge System official in the Northwest has asked his staff to investigate where neonics are being used in the refuges they manage and stop to their use. Aware of the case against neonics, Wheaton made her SEE PESTICIDES, 23
Nearing construction, VAA works to keep momentum on arts center project With fundraising and permitting wrapping up, board votes to break ground in October By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
On a warm July afternoon, Bruce Morser stood on Vashon Highway drawing. While Morser, a professional artist, has done work for such clients as Starbucks, Rolex and National Geographic, that day he and his daughter were drawing with Sharpie markers on the side of an old building. In the last few weeks, the father-daughter duo
has traced a sprawling mural that includes an orchestra, actors performing Shakespeare and dancers in “The Nutcracker” on the side of the old McFeed’s building. The mural, which that day frequently drew honks and shouts from the busy intersection at Center, is part of an effort by Vashon Allied Arts (VAA) to maintain momentum for its Vashon Center for the Arts project. A puzzle showing the new center by Will Forrester has been forming at the top of the mural as well, and in May, Steffon Moody painted two large birds on the other side of the building. “That drew a lot of attention,” said Molly Reed, Natalie Martin/Staff Photo

The second quarter of Vashon’s real estate activity brought unprecedented excitement to our market. Last year 110 homes listed in the second quarter, this year 116 listed—not significantly different. However, last year 67 homes went into contract in the 2nd quarter, and this year, 93 homes went into contract—that’s a 46% increase of homes under contract. Looking at May in particular, last year 19 homes accepted offers. During May of 2014, 44 homes accepted offers—wow! The Seattle times recently reported many neighborhoods in King County reached their peak home values from 2007 in the 2nd quarter, or are within 5% of those values. The article goes on to identify Vashon and Kenmore as lagging in comparable appreciation, but our Island is receiving some spillover of that energy from the mainland. Year to date, under $400,000, 38 homes sold. Between $400,000 & $700,000, 31 homes sold. At $700,000+, six homes sold with an average sales price of $1,103,000.

K2 enters state’s Voluntary Cleanup Program Former Country Store Department of Ecology will issue an opinion on the site By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
K2 Sports has taken the first step in obtaining a No Further Action (NFA) determination from the state regarding environmental contamination at its former factory on Vashon Highway. In late May, K2 formally entered the state Department of Ecology’s Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP). The company is now awaiting an opinion from the state on the condition of the property, the next step in a long process that could end in the state issuing K2 an NFA letter, meaning the contamination has either been cleaned or addressed to state standards. The move comes months after the Backbone Campaign, a local political action group, raised concern over the environmental condition of the K2 site and circulated a petition asking that K2 obtain an NFA letter from the state before selling its property. At the time of the petition, the company was under contract to sell the building to a marijuana edibles company. That sale has since fallen through, but the petition garnered nearly 500 online signatures. The Backbone Campaign announced on Facebook on July 9 that K2 had entered the VCP, calling it “another victory.” The other victory apparently came last month when the King County Council took action to assure the K2 site obtains an NFA letter before it is put to any other use. The council added a clause to Vashon’s town plan that any properties listed as contaminated by the state Department of Ecology (DOE) must obtain an NFA letter before being granted a change of use building permit for the site. Councilmember Joe McDermott said the amendment was added in response to community concerns about the environmental conditions at K2. The K2 site is listed as contaminated by the state due to diesel oil that leaked into the soil there from a tank that was removed in 2008. However, Bill Moyer, director of the Backbone Campaign, and other islanders have voiced
VASHON-MAURY ISLAND
ARCHAEOLOGY DAY SATURDAY, JULY 26, 2014
ARTIFACT IDENTIFICATION Vashon Heritage Museum • 1 - 4 PM
concern that there could be additional undocumented contamination at the site and have questioned whether pollution from the former ski manufacturing plant could eventually end up in the groundwater. After starting the petition, Moyer went public with a report from the Issaquah company Farallon Consulting, which identifies what Farallon considers to be gaps in testing by the companies that did previous environmental assessments there. The report says it expects the DOE would require additional environmental testing at the site before giving an NFA determination. Dale Myers, a DOE site manager who is now handling K2, called the Farallon report “well written” but said it was too soon to comment further. He said the site and is currently under review and the state will eventually issue an opinion letter, something which normally happens within 90 days of a property owner entering the VCP. The opinion letter, which Myers called “guidelines on a path forward,” is one step in a long process that he said could eventually lead to a stateapproved environmental cleanup. Since the program is voluntary, an owner can withdraw at any time without penalty. K2 said in February, when there was a pending purchase of the property, that it intended to seek an NFA letter from the state. In a letter to the King County Council and Executive, Anthony De Rocco, then K2’s president and CEO, called K2 “legally and morally bound to take responsibility for adverse impact on the environment, when those impacts are identified by state or federal agencies with appropriate jurisdiction.” Donna Musa, a site hazard assessment coordinator with DOE’s toxics cleanup program, said K2 applied to enter the Voluntary Cleanup Program about three months later, on May 29. Tim Petrick, who replaced De Rocco as K2’s president, said the company is currently waiting for further direction from DOE and still considers itself responsible for any environmental issues at the facility. When asked if K2 recently entered the VCP because of the planned town plan amendment, Petrick said K2 simply wants to sell the property. “We’ve been trying to sell it to someone since we moved off the island. … We’d like to see it go to some good use,” he said. Moyer, with the Backbone Campaign, said he was happy that K2 entered the VCP and he hopes that the Farallon report, which he also submitted to the state, will be used in DOE’s review of the property. He noted that even if K2 drops out of the program at some point, there will still be a review of the site and of K2’s own environmental testing, which is what the Backbone Campaign has been hoping to see. He said he is anxiously awaiting DOE’s opinion letter. “We haven’t pushed for a process that’s unreasonable,” he said. “We’ve done basically what any home buyer or bank would do to understand ... that whatever happened there, that the community and the potential purchaser understand what they’re getting.”
bookkeeper charged with stealing from store
By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
A former employee of The Country Store and Farm has been charged with theft for allegedly embezzling more than $30,000 from the business over two years. Donna Marie Knowles, 64, was charged with 24 counts of theft in King County Superior Court on July 14. According to court documents, the alleged thefts occurred between January 2011 and December 2012, when Knowles was an employee and bookkeeper at The Country Store. Knowles allegedly issued herself checks totaling more than $33,000 from The Country Store’s business account and the personal account of Vy Biel, the store’s owner. The thefts were discovered after Vy Biel’s son Mike began managing the store due to Vy’s declining health, according to charging papers. Mike hired an accounting firm to review the store’s books, and the discrepancies were found. The financial audit also uncovered charges on the business’s credit card totaling nearly $6,000 that Vy did not recall making and more than $11,000 in missing funds from the shipping portion of the businesses, which has a separate account. It is not clear whether charges resulted from those missing funds.
According to charging papers, Knowles admitted to some of the thefts and denied others when interviewed by Detective Debby Schmitz with the King County Sheriff ’s Office. Schmitz wrote that Knowles said she was aware of Vy Biel’s declining health. Knowles said she felt she was “owed some of the money as she was putting so much time and energy into helping Vy run the business,” Schmitz wrote. Knowles also admitted to having financial problems and needing the money. According to Schmitz, Knowles also said she was sorry and has already paid $5,000 to the business’s insurance company. Knowles, who spoke to The Beachcomber on Monday, said she had not stolen from the store or Vy Biel and denied admitting to the thefts. She also denied paying any money to the insurance company. Knowles said the checks she wrote to herself were paychecks. “I’m not guilty. That’s for sure,” she said. Mike Biel declined to comment on the charges. Knowles is the former owner of Island Variety, which closed several years ago. According to court documents, she also operated the business Island Bookkeeping. Her arraignment, when she will enter a plea, is scheduled for Monday, July 28.

Constantinople to close its doors this summer
County thins trees for health of popular forest By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
Last week King County Forester Bill Loeber and Dave Warren of the Vashon Forest Stewards stood at the edge of what at first glance appeared to be a large logging operation in the heart of the island. Along the side of a hiking trail in Island Center Forest, heavy machinery dragged Douglas fir trees out of the woods, stripped them of their branches and heaved the massive logs into piles. Three truckloads of wood a day have left the forest, headed for mills in Tacoma and Edmonds. The logging project, Loeber said, is actually a forest thinning that will leave Island Center Forest a healthier place. “If there’s not any intervention, something is going to happen at some point,� Loeber said, referring to the currently over-crowded conditions at the forest, which is popular among walkers, bikers and equestrians. The forest’s close quarters date back to when 200 acres of the 400acre forest was an active Douglas fir plantation. Since King County purchased the property from the state Department of Natural Resources over a decade ago, the closely planted trees have become even more cramped and unhealthy. Disease can more easily spread through them, Loeber said,

County Forester Bill Loeber explains the tree thinning operation at Island Center Forest. and the forest floor gets little light, meaning there are few other plants there and little habitat for animals. Now, the county is selectively harvesting 30 to 40 percent of the trees on 40 acres of the forest, leaving the remaining trees with more light and more room to grow. The county will also selectively harvest 20 acres of mature and dying alder, and native trees and bushes will be planted throughout the area. The result, Loeber said, will be a forest that’s healthier, has better habitat and is more attractive. “We’re trying to move this toward more diversity,� he said. The thinning project began this month and is expected to continue through early August, during which time about half of the trails in Island Center Forest will be closed. A similar Douglas fir thinning is
planned for Dockton Forest — another former fir plantation — for next month, and trails will close there as well. While the wood from the two forests is not extremely valuable, Loeber said, the county will make $100,000 from selling it, funds which will go into the Department of Natural Resources and Parks’ operating fund and will be used for forestland management throughout the county. Warren, who is helping manage the project as a seasonal King County parks employee, noted that the logging company is able to complete the thinning without damaging hiking trails. Islanders who go there may notice the area has been logged, he said, but he believes the results will be worth it. “There will be a lot more life in here,� he said.

After more than 20 years outfitting women in downtown Vashon, Constantinople will close this summer. “It’s been coming for a while now,� store owner Connie Slabaugh said last week. “It’s been a rough couple years.� Slabaugh, who also owns women’s clothing stores in Burien and Tacoma, said business at those stores came back after the recession, but that was not the case on Vashon. At the first of the year, she said, she knew she would have to take action, but has been slow to put the closing signs in the window. “I am very sad,� she added. “I really don’t want to do it.� In addition to the ailing economy’s effect on her business, she said that it has been hard to hire staff on Vashon, and the months that the former dental office and the bakery sat empty only added to the problems.
“There was no foot traffic,� she said. Now both those spaces are open again, but Slabaugh has made up her mind. “It’s a little too late,� she said. Despite difficulty with staffing, Slabaugh was quick to praise the two women who work for her now, Merry Dahlberg and Taran Hesselschwardt. The latter will work for full time at the Red Bike, and she expects Dahlberg will also land on her feet, she said. “She is a sought after quantity on the island,� she added. Looking ahead, Slabaugh said she hopes an islandfriendly store will move in. “It’s the ideal retail location,� she noted. The store will be open through the end of July, she said, and depending on the remaining stock, may stay open into the beginning of August. — Susan Riemer

Tips for maintaining a healthy smile
Did you know?
Only 7% of the population flosses regularly. We get it, flossing hurts, it’s gross and who has the time? Flossing has always been the best way to clean between the teeth, but if compliance is at 7%, then it is important to consider alternatives. The main objective to cleaning between the teeth is to disrupt the bacterial activity between the teeth. When bacteria are left undisturbed, they are able to reproduce faster and concentrate acid, which leads to decay. Using toothpicks, small brushes or a water pick also disrupts these bacterial colonies and are very effective when used regularly. Also, if you are in that 93 percent, then limiting your carbohydrate intake will help to starve out the bacteria between the teeth.

Island lure brings far-flung visitors to Burton
EDITORIAL
Let’s separate latest K2 news from its pot history The time K2 was almost purchased by a marijuana edibles company is fast becoming a memory for Vashon, as other cities with legal marijuana business take over news headlines. But when the topic of EdiPure and K2 does come up, either as the butt of a joke or in serious conversation, memories of the divisiveness the issue brought to our island community can still feel fresh. This month there was news of a ripple effect of that tumultuous time on Vashon. Many will remember how the Backbone Campaign and its director Bill Moyer led an effort to get the K2 site into the state’s toxics cleanup program, something the organization hoped would prove whether adequate environmental testing has been done there and create a path for addressing any pollution. Some, however, criticized the Backbone Campaign and accused Moyer of simply wanting to hinder the marijuana company, adding another layer to the K2 dispute. EdiPure has been out of the picture for months now, but K2 has just entered the state’s cleanup program, possibly because it anticipated a recent town plan amendment. It’s still a welcome turn of events for the Backbone Campaign, which months ago circulated a petition demanding that K2 enter the program. Supporters of marijuana at K2, however, shouldn’t dismiss this development. Amidst the tensions of last winter, Moyer went public with a document by an established Seattle company that claims there were in fact significant gaps in the environmental testing K2 did at its former factory site. It said work is needed to understand if there is any significant pollution there. This is testing that K2 provides to potential buyers showing the property is overall in good shape. Now, experts at the state will soon weigh in on K2’s testing and say definitively what should be done, if anything, to satisfy state environmental standards. It’s possible there is no other contamination at K2 outside of some oil that’s been known about for years. It’s also possible more testing would tell a different story. Would pollution there actually threaten our groundwater, as many on Vashon have feared? It’s hard to know. But it’s worth finding out what a history of fiberglass ski production may have left behind at the site on Vashon Highway. K2 and its parent company, a corporate conglomerate named Jarden, have said they want to be responsible for any environmental issues there. They clearly want to do whatever they can to sell the site, so let’s let them. Islanders should remain open to what the state says about K2 and wait to form an opinion about the company’s responsibility at the property until more is known. K2 may not have the site forever, but Vashon will.
Do you know where Tasmania is? Of course you don’t. No one does. Except maybe Tasmanians. It’s like Narnia: a fictional place maybe somewhere on our globe or maybe only in our imagination. Maybe, like me, you have a vague sense that it’s somewhere south of Australia. But is there anything south of Australia other than the South Pole? I have no idea. I wasn’t that good at geography. But if you are old enough — which is to say already qualified for Social Security — you may recall (though if you’re that old you probably won’t) that Tasmania is known principally in the United States because of a “Looney Tunes” cartoon character called “Taz,” a Tasmanian devil. Wikipedia describes him as “a ferocious, albeit dim-witted omnivore with a notoriously short temper and little patience. He will eat anything and everything, with an appetite that seems to know no bounds. He is best known for his speech consisting mostly of grunts, growls and rasps, and his ability to spin like a vortex and bite through just about anything.” This came as a great shock because this is an almost perfect description of my pal at the Burton Coffee Stand, “Bad Michael,” although, so far, he has not bitten me. I cannot speak for other customers. Maybe he has. Maybe it’s all hush-hush, for insurance purposes. And all this time he’s pre-
NORTH PASSAGES By WILL NORTH tended to be nothing more sinister than a rude ex-New Yorker. But just last week two apparently genuine Tasmanians showed up at the coffee stand. I am not making this up. They’d taken the early morning passenger ferry from Seattle and the 118 bus. They said they’d come because of a New York Times article that featured the coffee stand, but we were all immediately suspicious. Travel halfway around the globe for a cup of coffee? I mean, yes, the coffee is excellent and the regulars are a hilarious bunch of reprobates, but still. They sat quietly off to the side initially, but when they finally announced themselves, we were terrified. Tasmanian devils! I have to say their disguises were terrific. They came looking exactly like a luminously lovely young woman and her preternaturally clever seven year old son. Plus, they’d obviously had some pretty fine dental work because when they smiled we saw no fangs. The woman said her name was Heather. Such an innocentsounding name. She was soft

Dogs
Respect leash laws As a dog owner who often walks her two rescued foster dogs in Dockton Forest, I respectfully ask other dog enthusiasts to please keep their animals on a leash while enjoying the trails. Leash laws exist to protect equestrians, pets and the public from nuisance animals. No one wants to think of their beloved best friend as a nuisance, but unleashed dogs pose a danger to bicyclists, pedestrians, horses and leashed dogs — as well as to themselves. Recently, my leashed, large-
breed dogs were charged by two unleashed terriers on the trail — an aggressive act that resulted in my dog defending himself and the terrier being injured. This incident was traumatic for all, and I am deeply saddened that an animal was hurt. However, I remind dog owners that the responsibility to protect your animals resides with you. The law only serves to protect the public if all abide by it. Leash your dogs. Don’t rely on the excuse that your animal is under “voice control.” Voice control means the dog responds and retreats even under distraction. Don’t think what your dog is doing when charging toward another

spoken. I detected no grunts, growls or rasps. The kid’s name was Elliot, because, she said, he was conceived during an earlier visit to Seattle and named after the bay. I’m here to tell you, these Devils had their act down pat. The charming Heather was nice. Little Elliot was too. “Nice” is not a characteristic normally associated with Tasmanian Devils. Nor is it a characteristic normally associated with the regulars during “insult hour” every morning at the Burton Coffee Stand between 8 and 9 a.m. So naturally, suspicions rose. Nonetheless, we continued to engage them in conversation. Did I mention she was luminously lovely? Petite, with a pixie-like smile. Some of us older guys are prone to extending conversations with lovely women since, truth be told, that’s just about all we’re up to. So completely taken in by these two we were that someone from the coffee stand, who shall remain unnamed, gave them a motor tour of the island before dropping them off “up town,” as we say here. They said they’d come back soon. Maybe they were just casing the place before launching a frontal assault. Maybe this was all a Tasmanian ruse. I checked the police report this week. There were no reports of bitings up town.

dog is “just saying hi.” Especially toward a leashed dog. It’s not. It’s a threat. And it’s dangerous. And don’t blame the breed. It’s not fair. I’m tired of large dogs taking the blame for small dogs without manners. My dogs were on a leash. From now on, I will muzzle my dog. Is that fair? He will have no defense if — or when — another dog charges and nips at him. On Vashon we like our freedoms and we like our dogs. We also respect each other, despite our differences. We’re weird like that. But please respect the leash law — for dogs big and small. It’s only fair.

Granny’s Attic awards grants to wide range of island health services By SUSAN RIEMER For The Beachcomber
Now in its second year of funding community health programs, Granny’s Attic recently awarded several grants intended to address a range of health-related needs on the island. Last month, Granny’s members voted to approve nearly $100,000 in grants to seven different island organizations and programs. The largest grants included $60,000 for Vashon Youth & Family Services (VYFS) and its medical voucher program and $32,000 for Vashon Community Care (VCC). That grant will help cover the cost of caring for one of the residents paying with Medicaid and provide up to $12,000 in matching funds for the new Vashon Community Care Foundation. Additional grants were awarded to the Interfaith Council to Prevent Homelessness for the dental van’s services, to The DoVE Project in part to support a teen workshop, and to the Franciscan Medical Group to assist with transportation costs for offisland employees. The Granny’s board also decided to double its annual scholarships for graduating seniors and will now provide four $1,000 scholarships, according to Tim Johnson, the manager at Granny’s Attic. Susan Chun, the president of the Granny’s Attic board, said Granny’s members are pleased with the variety of services and programs they now support and are learning a lot about island organizations in the process. “We are having a great deal of satisfaction by being able to be involved with different programs,” Chun said. At VYFS, Debbie Rieschl, who has administered the medical voucher program
since it began in 2012, said vouchers for free medical care are still much in demand, even with the Affordable Care Act in place. While more people have insurance, those with low incomes often need assistance with co-pays and medications. Additionally, going to necessary medical care off-island, such as chemotherapy treatment, can be costly, and the program also helps people with those transportation expenses. “The grant will help with that tremendously,” she said. The voucher program has also recently expanded to include eye exams. Rieschl said she made that decision for the health of the community when a woman came to her after an accident on the island, expressing concern that she felt she should be able to see better while driving. The vouchers cover the cost of the exam only, Rieschl said, and then people can search for glasses within their budget. In 2012, when it began, the voucher program served only patients at the Vashon Health Center. In 2013 it expanded to include all health care providers on Vashon that accept insurance, and it has grown considerably, providing 80 vouchers for medical care its first year, 334 last year and 140 as of April of this year, Rieschl said. Vashon Community Care has benefitted frequently from Granny’s grants over the years. Chun said in part that is because the center provides services that are epitome of health related. But also many Granny’s members are seniors and may have had family members there or be considering it for themselves. “It’s personal,” she said. This granting cycle, Granny’s members voted to give $20,000 to VCC to help offset

Thank you to Vashon’s Chamber The Island Heritage Association sends a big THANK YOU to the Chamber of Commerce for the support of the Museum and Festival events under the tents behind the museum! The publicity for Miss Lucy’s Dinner, the stage provided thanks to Dick and Linda Bianchi, the sound system thanks to Bandstand, the great music organized by Pete Welch, co-ordination of the Libation Oasis by Janet Welt on Saturday - all of it was great. The Heritage Museum is an island treasure and the Chamber is helping to put it on the map! Deb Dammann The Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Museum
Special Strawberry Festival thanks We would like to thank all of the folks that stepped up to make this year’s parade safe and fun! Special thanks to Fran Brooks, Angela Gist, and all of the parade participant Marshals that kept their ‘cats’ herded! We are grateful to Island Security Self Storage for the use of their golf cart, without which we could not have covered as much ground, and a very special thanks to Michael, and the entire Bouska Family, for sharing their great old fire engine with Grand Marshal Mike Kirk and his wife, Patti. Thank you! Rick and Deborah Brown Parade Coordinators
A picture perfect thank you
expenses incurred when caring for patients on Medicaid, as Medicaid does not fully reimburse for the cost of care. An additional $12,000 will go toward matching the first month’s payment of anyone who signs up to donate monthly to the care center. Such donations make it easy for people to give, said Truman O’Brien, who is heading the foundation, and they provide the center with a stable stream of income throughout the year. For DoVE, the island’s domestic violence organization, Granny’s provided nearly $5,000. Betsey Archambault, the agency’s executive director, said the grant will enable the nonprofit to continue its prevention work with island teens by hosting a workshop this fall. The workshop is intended
to change some sobering statistics among teens: Nearly 60 percent have experienced physical dating-related violence, and more than 95 percent have experienced psychological or emotional abuse. “We’re thrilled,” Archambault said about the grant. “It feels like very important work.” The next round of grants will be awarded in August, Chun said. Applications from non-profit organizations will be accepted until Aug. 1. After August, Granny’s will award grants in February. So far, the group has been awarding grants every other month. The change to twice a year will enable the members to spend less time on the granting process as well as have a better sense of just how much money the organization has to spend, Chun said.
We want to take a moment to thank our great community for another wild and successful Event! Our renting the Vashon Theatre and showing the World Cup was the second, of what will be many, opportunities for our community to come together and enjoy watching a major sporting event - and we THANK YOU ALL for making it so much fun. We started working together teaching home buyer education classes here on Vashon (next one is this Sunday at the Library) and discovered we had some shared passions. One was our local sports scene, another was our love for our community and living life at service, and yet another piece of common ground was our interest in really big, fun parties. But just because we like that stuff we weren’t sure that anybody else felt the same and were very unsure if it would work, if people would want to watch a game in a movie theatre – it’s very different than watching at home – there is no idle chit chat during the game – it’s much more like being at the game than watching at home. As it turns out you love it too. Everybody really pays attention to the action and the atmosphere is truly electric. When you get 350 people together that are passionate about what’s happening on the screen it really does create a unique experience. Adding to that experience by giving back to the community was a natural progression. Mike is a member of the Vashon Rotary and Aaron donates 10% of his sales commissions to charities of his customers’ choice. Making these events a benefit to the Vashon Island Rotary Club is a perfect expression of everything we are both committed to our businesses and lives being all about. We are truly delighted we found a way to combine all these things – large parties focused around a sporting event, contributing to something that makes a difference, providing a way for our community to come together and express itself – all of it are things we do anyway. Next up is opening day of the NFL season (and the first game of the Seahawks march to their second consecutive Super Bowl). And there are more after that so stay tuned and again, THANK YOU VASHON!

Shortly after Barnworks closed, Belknap began painting landscapes, those she’s seen and photographed. On a square canvas, a vibrant display of Snoqualmie Falls is one example of Belknap’s new focus. It’s also what she calls a gift from her son Ryan, who died in a car accident in 2013. “I had been looking for something to paint,” Belknap said, “and came across this packet of photos Ryan took in fifth grade at Camp Waskowitz. It was a little gift as I’d been wanting to paint a waterfall.” Belknap plans to set aside 10 percent
of her sales for the Ryan Krug Memorial Scholarship, which awards six scholarships to Vashon High School seniors who letter either in cross country or soccer or have over 250 hours of community service. The Barnworks show will fill the walls in the back room at The Hardware Store Restaurant. Each artist expects to hang three to four paintings, ranging from pastels to watercolors, acrylics and oils. “I’m excited for the show,” Belknap said, “It is a great venue and should be a lot of fun.”
Shakespeare comes to Ober Park stage Thursday evening Othello will be performed free of charge By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer

Actors from Seattle’s GreenStage will perform “Othello” at Ober Park on Thursday.
Pack a picnic dinner, grab a blanket, family and friends and head to Ober Park at 7 p.m. Thursday to watch a free performance of Shakespeare in the Park — “Othello” by GreenStage, Seattle’s longestrunning Shakespeare company. A lot has changed in the world since William Shakespeare wrote his famous tragedy “Othello” in 1603. But the play’s themes of racism, love, intrigue, jealousy and betrayal easily speak to a contemporary audience, and actors from GreenStage will bring those words to life in all their wit and poignancy.
The great military hero Othello, who seems to have it all with a plum assignment and beautiful bride, falls hard when he becomes ensnared in a wicked web of doubt and treachery woven by Iago, his scheming and devious subordinate. Pete Welch of Vashon Events said last year’s performance of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” brought “a huge turnout. ... I was pleasantly surprised to see how many Shakespeare fans there were.” Now, island fans will have another chance to enjoy one of the Bard of Avon’s 37 plays. The Concert in the Park series is presented and funded by Vashon Park District in association with Vashon Events. The Thursday evening series in Ober Park continues into September. All upcoming events will be music concerts.

Musician fundraises to record her music
Hot Zimbabwe band stops on Vashon
Allison Shirk, a singer/songwriter and co-founder of Vashon Events, has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the recording and distribution of her debut country-rock album. The album, “Break My Heart,” will be comprised of Shirk’s best original songs written over the last decade and will tell the story of her life, centered around the experience of living in a small town. “I poured my heart and soul into every song and held nothing back in recording them,” Shirk wrote in an e-mail. “This album is a diverse collection. Some songs will make you tap your feet and dance, others will tug at your heartstrings.” Shirk, on guitar and vocals, will be backed by bassist Keith Lowe and drummer Todd Zimberg along with guest appearances by a number of island musicians — Jacob Bain, Sarah Christine, Joe Panzetta, Jason Staczek, and “Lonesome Mike” Nichols. Shirk describes the music as folk-country, mixed with rock and blues. “It’s sweet and sassy like Norah Jones,” Shirk said, “catchy like Sheryl Crow and haunting ... like the Cowboy Junkies.” One of the songs, “Monster”, is an autobiographical account of her experience as a child in a home with domestic violence. Shirk plans to donate all proceeds from the download of the single song to the DoVE Project on Vashon and domestic violence coalitions.
Described by the BBC News Africa as a band with youthful exuberance, musical brilliance and slick dance routines, the Zimbabwe group Mokoomba will make an unscheduled stop in their U.S. tour to play at the Red Bike at 8:30 p.m. Friday. “This is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see what is being described as Africa’s most internationally successful young band,” said Pete Welch of Vashon Events. Billed as Zimbabwe’s next generation of hope, the six young men of Mokoomba hail from one of Zimbabwe’s smallest rural villages. What’s interesting about the group, according to island-born musician Jacob Bain, who met Mokoomba several years ago, is that the band members are not from the majority tribes. “They are from the mountain tribes, the Tonga, which is a small ethnic minority group you don’t hear about,” Bain said. “They don’t sing in the language of the Shona and Ndeble, but they are crushing it. They’ve been invited to join all the mega African world music stars.” Five weeks ago. when Bain was in Zimbabwe, he sat down with the manager of Mokoomba to talk about the group playing at Zimfest in Tacoma. “I asked if they would want to take a free day and come over to Vashon, a small community. They won’t be paid $10,000, more like $250, but they’ll play to a responsive community of folks.”

Allison Shirk “Now I have the chance to take that horrible experience I had as a child and turn it into something good,” Shirk said. “If people hear the song and it makes them speak up about domestic violence that they know about, or are living in, then the song has done some good.” Shirk, who has made frequent appearances on Vashon and around the Puget Sound, will perform a concert with Keith Lowe on Thursday, July 31. The show will be at 8 p.m. at The Hardware Store Restaurant. Funding from the Kickstarter campaign will go directly towards studio costs, musicians, mixing, mastering, pressing the CD and distribution. The Kickstarter campaign is a timelimited fundraising platform. Shirk has until Aug. 18 to raise $8,000. If she does not meet the goal, Shirk will not receive any of the money. Shirk’s campaign can be found at www. Kickstarter.com/profile/allisonshirk.

The Zimbabwe band Mokoomba will play at the Bike on Friday. Apparently the band liked the idea and plans to end their first-ever U.S. tour on Vashon. “We’ll probably never see Mokoomba at the Red Bike again,” said Bain, “as they are on a high-speed rise. They are the kind of band you want to see make it. They are kind, humble, explosive and their musicianship is off the charts. Anyone who comes to the show will be tripping out.” The show is open to all ages until 11 p.m., then 21 and older after that.

the executive director of VAA. “It’s for fun, and it’s to show progress as things have sort of evolved on the building.” VAA announced its ambitious plans to build a multi-million dollar performing arts center in 2011, and since then the project has grabbed attention and headlines as the nonprofit has vetted its controversial plans with the community, moved through the construction permitting process and worked to raise funds for the $16.9 million project. However, both Reed and Morser, who is also a VAA board member and sits on the building committee, say things have quieted down lately as the organization has cleared its major hurdles and comes close to completing its fundraising. They hope that the new art on the McFeeds building will remind passers-by that plans are still underway to tear down the building and construct in its place a 20,000-square-foot structure complete with an orchestra pit, art gallery, classroom space and expansive lobby.

this summer. Breaking ground in mid-October would allow VAA to spend its $2 million in state funding by the June 2015 deadline and to open the building by December of 2015, in time for the chorale to hold its holiday concert there. Seeing the chorale perform its December concert in the new building is especially important to VAA, Reed said, as it was former chorale member Kay White who set the project in motion by donating more than $10 million in cash and trusts. Next December, White will be 95, and Reed says she hopes White can watch the concert from the seats of the new theater. Ty Peterson, a product line manager at the county’s Department of Permitting and Environmental Review (DPER), said the

department is waiting to hear from VAA representatives on a couple minor issues, but the organization should be able to obtain its building permit in time to break ground in October. He called the issues, having to do with structural engineering and civil engineering, “normal stuff in most reviews.” “It’s not permit-issue ready, but most of the review has been done except those areas,” Peterson said. As for the mural, Morser said he and his daughter have been adding to it a few times a week — a child painting a picture here, a magician there. He said he opted to spread out the project to keep people looking at the old building as they pass by. “I like the idea of the anticipation,” he said. “All of this stuff is going to happen right here at this intersection.”

Parade participants this year included the Vashon Island Ukulele Society strumming and singing, a Safari-themed float from Vashon Community Vacation Bible School, a colorful costumed show by Comunidad Latina de Vashon and, of course, the antique tractors. Unofficial mayor candidates all marched in the parade this year, though only one would win the title later that day. Caleb Johns, who raised over $15,000 for Vashon Community Care in his campaign, became the island’s new faux mayor at the festival. This year the first-ever award for best parade participant was chosen by Strawberry Festival Grand Marshal Mike Kirk, who handed the honor to the Vashon High School cheer squad.

Festival time in Vashon town Vashon town was a familiar scene on Saturday and Sunday, as most Strawberry Festival favorites returned for the big summer event. Absent, however, was the busy carnival that is normally found on the edge of the festival grounds. After a dispute with the carnival company led to a last-minute cancelation of the carnival, the chamber of commerce and other Vashon groups scrambled to come up with alternative activities for kids. The results included bouncy houses, blow-up obstacle courses, a rock climbing wall, and the return of the popular Bubble Fun, which organizers had already planned to bring back. Chamber Director Jim Marsh said he heard lots of positive feedback on the Saturday activities, which he felt also seemed to suit Vashon by being more interactive and physical than traditional carnival rides. Marsh said festival organizers will now begin brainstorming what an alternative carnival may look like next summer. “I think we could take what we learned from that and find a way to satisfy all people,” Marsh said. Pictured clockwise from top: a young woman has fun at the Bubble Wand booth; Sarah Christine performs in Ober Park; a boy plays on an inflatable slide; festival-goers check out jewelry at an artists booth; a boy climbs a rock wall, and kids stop to enjoy some festival food while listening to music at the Pandora’s Box stage.

Archaeologists to offer expertise on Vashon Transient charged with rape This weekend islanders will have two opportunities to learn more about Vashon’s native people through the clues found by archaeologists during the past century. At the first event, from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday in the Heritage Museum, people are invited to bring their artifacts for archaeologists to identify. The team of archaeologists will include Brandon Reynon from the Puyallup Tribe, Tom Minichillo from King County Roads and Laura Phillips and students from the Burke Museum at the University of Washington. Archaeologists will not authenticate or estimate the value of any artifacts. The second event is the Archaeology of Vashon Island, which will be from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Land Trust Building. Reynon will join Minichillo and Phillips to describe what has been learned from the excavations on Vashon over the last century. They
will speak about the 1996 project at Jensen Point on the Burton Peninsula, which verified the importance of herring and shellfish in the diet of native people who lived in the area for thousands of years. All of the speakers were involved in an excavation at Manzanita in 2010, and this is the first opportunity for them to share their findings with the residents of Vashon. After the presentations, there will be an opportunity for questions. Those who attend the free events can also see artifacts at the museum in the current special exhibit, Vashon Island’s Native People: Navigating Seas of Change. A variety of items are on display, including stone tools, 19th-century baskets, a paddle from 1883 and a herring rake found on the beach at Indian Point. The museum will be open between 1 and 4 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Douglas James Holt was charged with one count of third-degree rape in King County Superior Court last week. Holt, 56, was arrested on Vashon July 12 after an island woman reported he had sexually assaulted her when she gave him a ride to his home on Cemetery Road. Initially, bail was set at $25,000, but when Holt was charged, the judge raised it to $100,000. Prosecutors had asked for the increase because of the nature of the crime and concerns that Holt, who is a transient, would not appear in court, according to charging papers. The court documents state that the victim went to visit a friend on the island in the afternoon on July 12, and Holt was present at the friend’s home.
When she left, she agreed to give him a ride to his place. During that trip, he sexually assaulted her. She kicked him out of the car near where he was staying on Cemetery Road and went back to her friend’s house, then to the fire station, where they called the police. Deputies then located and arrested Holt. According to the documents, he told the deputies that he was innocent and did not intentionally do anything wrong and that he knew what he did was wrong and should not have done it. When the victim objected, he said he stopped and apologized. He also said he believes he misread the situation. Holt is scheduled to be arraigned on July 31. — Susan Riemer

Hundreds participate in annual Bill Burby run during festival weekend By GLENNA MILESON For The Beachcomber
Nearly 400 runners and walkers kicked off the festival weekend at 9 a.m. Saturday by gathering at the VYFS PlaySpace to meet friends and family to “do the Burby.” This was the 34th year of the event and marked the 25th anniversary of the change in name to honor Bill Burby, a former teacher and beloved coach. Between the start of the 10k and the 5k, Destia Hermes, widow of the late Bill Burby, took the microphone to thank the participants for keeping his memory alive and sharing his love of running and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. “If he could see this, he would be surprised that it’s still going, but also very pleased,” Hermes said. Then Russ Brazill, one of the race founders, fired the starting gun and the runners were off. Just over 16 minutes later, with a time of 16:39, Graham Peet, 17, crossed the finish line to take first in the men’s 5k for the second year in a row. Scott Healey, 39, followed with a time of 17:31. Mark Ripley, 52, came in third with a time of 18:29. In the 5k women’s race, Michelle Neal, 53, with a time of 21:41 took first, edging past Maddi Groen, 18, after coming in second behind her last year. Groen’s secondplace time was 22.02, and Emma Veatch was a close third at 22:12. In the Men’s 10k, Patrick McAulitle, 30, smoked across the finish line with a time of 34:12. McAulitle was on the island to participate in the annual softball tournament. Second place went to Blake Magnuson, 48, with a time of 40:00, and Kevin Ross, 41, came in third with a time of 40:25. Rebecca Nichols, 23, was first in the women’s 10k with a time of 47:27 after finishing third last year. Coming in second was Ann Root, 41, with a time of 48:59, followed by Amy Clark, 34, with a time of 49:17 in third.

All first-place winners took home a $100 gift certificate donated by Northwest Sports, and second-place winners picked up gift bags with donated products from Partners crackers and CoreCentric. Two additional $100 gift certificates were awarded randomly as well as two Partners crackers gift baskets, a CoreCentric training package and other products. Once again this island tradition attracted participants of all ages, the youngest being Rafael Escovedo, age 5, running in the 5k Race. The eldest was Skip Norton,

FYI
VoV raises its new FM radio antenna Voice of Vashon’s new radio antenna went up last week, brining the nonprofit one step closer to putting the island’s first FM station, KVSH, on the air. Pictured at right, VoV volunteers Dan Schueler and Rick Wallace, supported by a ground crew, raised the antenna atop Water District 19’s water tower. The station broadcast for a short time as a test and could be heard around the island.
SHERIFF REPORTS
“A couple board members called us and they were crying,” Wallace said. “It’s been that long and that much of an effort.” As VoV continues testing and other preparations, hoping to go live this fall, it’s also finishing up a $50,000 fundraising campaign. As of last week, volunteers had $7,000 to go, but planned to be busy fundraising at the Strawberry Festival. Wallace said 400 people have donated so far. “The community response has been amazing,” he said.

PESTICIDES CONTINUED FROM 1
decision last week after a meeting at True Value, where a group of more than 20 people, including Wheaton, gathered to discuss herbicide and pesticide use on Vashon. At the meeting, True Value owner John Yates announced the store would no longer carry products with neonicotinoids. Since then Wheaton has decreased her stock; islander Justin Headly began filming a documentary about the issue on Vashon, and Greg Davila has offered to pick up islanders’ products with neonicotinoids and dispose of them. Davila has also set a date next month for another public meeting on the issue. The meeting at True Value followed a local petition that called on island stores to remove neonics from their shelves. Davila, who launched the effort, said he gathered 750 signatures in three weeks. Some potentially divisive rumors also sprang from the petition, and island attorney Rex Stratton said he stepped in to the fray to help facilitate a community meeting. “My interest was to avoid polarization between retailers and a few hot heads,” he said last week. Indeed, the issues at stake raise passions on Vashon and beyond. In a recent interview, Davila acknowledged that some people have told him his approach has been too heavy handed, though he said his intent has not been to antagonize, but to build strong community and to educate. He’s has been assertive, though, he said, and his resolve has not waivered. “There are enough passionate people about bees and birds and worms that it is worth pissing some people off,” he said. On Monday, in fact, he did just that on the Facebook page VashonAll, when he and Wheaton clashed, as she explained her decision to pull some products and not others. Many other islanders weighed in as well, mostly supporting Wheaton, as the exchange became heated. “Choosing your personal beliefs and profits over the health of our ecosystem is not your right to make,” Davila responded in one of his first posts. “This community has been there for you time and again.

— losses that have cost him thousands of dollars. “I might have to pull my cherries out if I cannot control the pests,” he said. Additionally, he said, many people are attempting to support agriculture on Vashon, including drawing young farmers into the fold, and he believes that some products, including those others may disprove of, may be necessary to make that possible. “If we cannot use things approved by the USDA, then we are in trouble,” he said. Decisions should be based on science, he added, not emotion, which he believes is driving some people in the conversation now. It’s a conversation he plans to continue to be part of and considers many involved to be his friends. “There is not anyone that I do not like and respect,” he said. The Vashon Island Growers Association (VIGA) has been following the issue, as well, according to the group’s president, Nan Wilson, who noted the board has had considerable conversation about it. “We do take the position those things do affect the health of people and other species,” she said. As a group, they are not calling for a local ban on the products, she said, as they want any decision to be collaborative. Instead, she said, they will support education efforts, and hope to offer some of their own, including information on best practices and an educational forum later this year. “We support an active conversation and further conversation about how to make this work in our community,” she said. Meanwhile, at her nursery, Wheaton has said that while she could stand at a podium and argue either side of the neonic argument, the conversation in the community has solidified her views on keeping some of the products. “I am not going to put myself and Vashon in a position where people have to go to town to get what they need,” she said. “I need to be able to educate people. That is who I am.” The next public meeting on the subject of pesticide and herbicide use on Vashon will be at 6 p.m. Monday, Aug. 4, at the Vashon Eagles.

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption Missy Pound Cake earned her name for her loaf sized body and her many pounds of sweetness. Pound Cakes are traditionally make with a 1:1:1:1 ratio of flour, butter, eggs and sugar. Missy Pound Cake seems to be made with a 1:1:1:1 ratio of personality, purr power, silkiness and sugar. Missy Pound Cake has been an indoor cat and she gets along with dogs. She came to us on 6/10/14. Augie was found near Augie’s Tree Farm on Bank Rd. He was bedraggled and tired from being out searching for his home. No one has claimed him. He has gotten vet care and while he is still thin, he is starting to feel like a cat again. Augie is one sweet guy of a cat and comes up to the volunteers who enter the room to get his fair share of pets. Augie came to VIPP on 6/18/14.
Dear VIPP, Piper was found as a kitten in a drain pipe under the driveway of one of our VIPP volunteers. This kitten was screaming his head off but would not come out to be rescued. Piper The volunteer, Rick Frye, got the clever idea to record Pipers cry and play it back. Once Piper heard the kitten cries, he finally came out of the pipe to be rescued. Piper was hosted by the Fletchers with a group of other kittens that summer of 2002. Piper did get adopted but he was so shy that the new owners returned him to the Fletchers. The Fletcher’s cat Lucy became great friends with Piper and it was she who adopted him. Piper is now twelve years old and still very shy but he will come up to us for pets when we are sitting on the toilet with our pants down.
