Vashon responders help battle state’s record wildfires
Eyes are on local beaches as scientists study sea star die-off
By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
As the state sees record wildfires, some Vashon firefighters have aided in the effort to control the blazes in Central and Eastern Washington. Three firefighters from Vashon Island Fire & Rescue (VIFR) recently returned from battling the massive wildfires, and a recent Vashon High School graduate is spending her entire summer working in the Methow Valley as a firefighter. “At this point I’m sure we’ll be called again,” said Brett Kranjcevich, a VIFR firefighter who returned last week from a nineday stint in Eastern Washington with Ross Copland. The two men, who have special training in wildfire fighting, were deployed with a strike team of other specially trained responders from south King County. VIFR’s Wes Paulsen went over with another team a couple days before. Kranjcevich and Copland were sent to both the Mills Canyon fire near Entiat, north of Wenatchee, and the Chiwaukum Creek Fire near Leavenworth. They worked on night shifts, mostly watching the fires to ensure they didn’t spread, and back burning, or setting controlled fires to burn specific areas to prevent the fire from growing.
Researchers are narrowing in on the cause of mysterious disease By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
When Rayna Holtz and Yvonne Kuperberg began monitoring a strip of west-side beach a few years ago, searching for dead sea birds as part of a citizen science project through the University of Washington, they soon realized they likely wouldn’t find any dead birds. So the two women, also Vashon Beach Naturalists, began recording other sea creatures they saw on their monthly walks, thinking it would be interesting to watch how their populations changed over time. Little did they know they would soon see one of the Puget Sound’s most iconic sea creatures — the sea star — nearly disappear from the beach, hit by a mysterious disease that has decimated sea star populations up and down the West Coast. “I would say the disease hasn’t been abating. It looks to me like it’s raging,” Holtz said last week. Holtz is now one of a handful of islanders collecting data on sea star wasting disease, which came to local waters last year. That information is sent on to scientists, who now SEE SEA STARS, 20

A homegrown tamale business takes off By SARAH LOW Staff Writer
Islander Patty Freebourn’s dream of sharing Hispanic culture and traditional food with Vashon reached a major milestone this week, as both IGA and Thriftway began selling Patty’s Tamales. Many already know Freebourn and her tamales from the Vashon Farmers market, where her booth has drawn long lines. The tamales have also been popular at the Tacoma Farmers Market, and may soon be headed to Costco or Trader Joe’s. “The tamales have taken over,” Freebourn said last week with a
laugh. “I’m just trying to catch up with them.” Freebourn’s road to entrepreneurial success began when she was a little girl in Mexico, she said, waking up to the smells of her grandmother’s freshly made tortillas, salsa and tamales. “I always wanted to cook like her. Being happy eating my grandmother’s food … this is what I wanted to see in others from my own cooking,” Freebourn said. Born in Mexico, Freebourn grew up extremely poor after her father died when she was a baby. Freebourn’s mother brought her
family to the U.S. in the hopes of making a better life for them. Freebourn was 11 years old when they moved to California and her mother got work sewing in a factory. “I was sad when we first left Mexico. It was very hard. None of us spoke English,” Freebourn remembered. “But we survived, and I am glad we did it.” Eventually her family moved to Utah and Freebourn went to school, ultimately earning her credentials as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). She married and started a family of her own, and SEE TAMALES, 19

Top names for new water taxis announced Online contest will determine the winners The King County Ferry District announced last week the finalists in a contest to name two new water taxis. People can vote for their favorite names through Aug. 15. The options for the Vashon to downtown Seattle water taxi, selected from names nominated by the public, are Sally Fox, Betty MacDonald, Lisabeula, Barbara Durham and Lucy Gerand. Sally Fox, who died in 2007, was an activist who advocated for passenger-only ferry service to Vashon. Betty MacDonald was a prominent author who penned beloved books such as “Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle” and “The Egg and I.” Lisabeula is a popular shoreline park on Vashon. It was named after the historical Lisebeula post office, which was named when the officer of the post office combined the names of two of his employees, Eliza and Beulah. Barbara Durham was the first female
chief justice of the Washington Supreme Court. She grew up on Vashon and graduated from Vashon High School in 1960. Lucy Gerand was a Native American who was one of the first to provide stories about her life on Vashon and Native American culture on the island. She died in 1929. Options chosen for the West Seattle to downtown water taxi are Doc Maynard, Princess Angeline, Cobain Watertrain, Lushootseed, Lynn Campbell and Dixy Lee Ray. The two new water taxis are currently being built by All American Marine in Bellingham and will replace the pair of 25-year-old vessels currently leased by the ferry district. They will each carry 78 more passengers than the boats they replace and are expected to begin service next year. The county began a contest to name the new water taxis last month and received 326 different nominations. To vote on the water taxi names, see www.surveymonkey. com/s/TTPBNZQ or call 477-3840. — Natalie Martin

The aging lighthouse roof at Point Robinson will be replaced this summer and the keeper’s quarters painted, thanks in part to a grant from King County’s 4Culture. “We’re thrilled,� said Elaine Ott, the Vashon Park District’s executive director, speaking about the grant to fund the roof replacement. “It’s a long overdue maintenance issue that we are very happy we are finally able to move forward with.� Captain Joe Wubbold, the head of the Keepers of Point Robinson, has long advocated for more maintenance at the park’s buildings, and a Coast Guard inspection of the property this spring called for the lighthouse roof to be replaced within two years and the keepers’ quarters to be painted, Wubbold said. He credits the district’s lodging manager, Eric Wyatt, with spotting the grant opportunity from 4Culture, which is providing nearly $20,000, the full cost of replacing the old cedar shake roof with a metal roof that will look like shakes painted red. “With some metal roofs, it is difficult to tell they are not the original material,� Wubbuld said. “And they last and last and last. They are beautiful, and it is a beautiful building. It will guarantee its water-tight integrity for a long time.� Wubbold said he first brought

Point Robinson, with its lighthouse and keepers’ quarters, is popular with islanders and visitors to Vashon. the poor condition of the roof to the park commissioners’ attention two years ago, saying that it looked terrible and needed to be painted. “It became a cause celebre with me,� he said. That was a difficult time at the district, Wubbold said, as it was around the time the commissioners fired executive director Jan Milligan and were very short on funds. The roof later began leaking, he recalled, and the park district opted to repair it, but not paint it. “The place looked more and more
terrible,� he said. “Some guests have commented on how shabby it looked.� This spring, Wubbold requested that the Coast Guard, which still owns the property but leases it to the park district, come out and determine what building maintenance needed to be done there to comply with the lease arrangement. Replacing the roof and painting the quarters were the only required items, Wubbold said. At its most recent park board meeting, the commissioners agreed to allocate funds to paint the quar-
ters, a project that is expected to cost about $25,000. Wubbold has been requesting that the buildings be repainted for the more than a year, he said, and has often indicated he believes that the park district should be using the funds generated by the rental of the quarters for upkeep. Even if there was not adequate rental income generated, he said, the park district, under the terms of the lease, still had the duty to do the work. Ott noted that by her calculations, it has been only in the past two years that the quarters have netted a profit, totaling about $25,000, the amount necessary for painting. Ott added she is pleased the work will be done soon, particularly since next year will mark the lighthouse’s centennial. Wubbold also expressed his feelings about the importance of the park and maintaining the buildings. “This place is much more than some old buildings that we take care of for historical purposes,� he said. The park, a popular spot that draws people from around the region and beyond, reflects on the whole island, he noted. “It represents all of us, and it ought to be the best that we can put out,� he added. “Since the best does not cost us much, there is no excuse for not having it shipshape and Bristol fashion.�

Park district votes twice to comply with law By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
In its last meeting, the Vashon Park District voted on a severance agreement for a former employee who had worked for the district for several years. It was the second time the commissioners voted on the agreement because they first voted in a closed executive session, which is prohibited by state law. Park district Executive Director Elaine Ott said she requested the second vote on July 22 after she learned at a recent workshop that the previous vote, in March, should have been taken in public. Ott noted that at the time she believed the issue was supposed to be acted on privately. “I will admit I was surprised,” she said. “I had thought that personnel and legal issues were sacrosanct.” Nancy Krier, the assistant attorney general for open government, said that Washington’s Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA) allows for discussion of those and other matters in private executive sessions, but final actions, such as votes, must be taken publicly. If a board makes an error, there are specific steps it can take to remedy it, she noted. “A board can correct a violation by doing in public what it should have done in public,” she said. While the law allows for legal action and and imposing fines on board members, a more pressing question is if all the board members have adequate training in the act’s requirements, Krier said. The OPMA has been in place for 40 years in Washington, but a new law, The Open Government Trainings Act, went into effect
July 1, she said. This law was passed partly because several public agencies have failed to comply with the OPMA and the Public Records Act in recent years. Most violations are not malicious or intentional, government documents state, but a result of insufficient training and knowledge. This law requires that members of the governing body of a public agency appointed or elected after July 1 take basic open government training within in 90 days of taking office and to take a refresher course every four years. For board members appointed or elected prior to that date, training is not required, but is recommended, she said. The training is free and can be done online or in a workshop setting. The law does not spell out training requirements, but state documents indicate the training could include the purpose of the act, requirements for regular and special meetings, public notice, executive sessions and penalties. The training may also include the requirement to maintain minutes and have them open for public inspection. Two years ago some islanders raised concerns about the district violating the OPMA when commissioners decided to seek the resignation of then executive director Jan Milligan after reaching consensus in executive session. Milligan was asked to resign, and when she did not, the board voted publicly three days later to fire her, but did not allow public comment, which is required when “curing” a violation. President Lu-Ann Branch, who was a board member at the time and was elected president this year, could not be reached for comment about the votes this year or any
training board members may have had on what are often referred to as Washington’s “sunshine laws.” However, commissioner Scott Harvey, who was elected in the fall, said he does not recall getting any training in the requirements of the act when he joined the board, but said he is open to it. Like Ott, he said he thought that personnel matters were to be dealt with in executive session. Ott, who came to the agency after working in finance for several years, noted she is continuing to engage in training pertaining to running a public agency. “I think it is important,” she added. Regarding the vote in question, last week commissioners voted unanimously to approve paying former maintenance employee and park caretaker Scott Provost $10,000 to cover his moving expenses, including removing his modular home from Paradise Ridge Park. From that amount, they will also subtract $450 for rent and the average monthly utility bill each month since his fall termination date, Ott said. Both Ott and Provost said a legal agreement prohibits them from publicly discussing the details of his termination. Currently, Ott said, Provost is set to receive about $6,200 from the district, though that amount will continue to decrease until his home has been moved out of the park and the land cleared to the park district’s satisfaction. Provost said he expects both matters will be taken care of in the coming weeks, noting that he sold his house last month. Ott said she and Provost communicate regularly about his progress. “I would like this to work out well for both parties,” she added.
VIA expands into former tech shop Vashon Intuitive Arts (VIA) has recently expanded into the space vacated by Vashon Tech Support. VIA, now in its fifth year in a building close to the north edge of town, calls itself a center for personal growth. It offers a retail space, lending library, community rental space and a variety of classes and events and participates in the monthly art tour. Additionally, massage practitioners and psychics practice there, said Lorna Cunningham, who owns the business with Susan Pitiger and Dianna Ammon. With the increased space, Cunningham said they have relocated their library, giving them more space in the event room. They plan to increase what they sell, and they have space now for a quiet room, where Cunningham said she and other psychics can conduct their psychic readings. “It’s been amazing,” she said. “Somehow it has brought a lot of business into the shop.” While work is still in progress, Cunningham said they were able to unveil their new space, which she said feels transformed, in time for the Strawberry Festival. Cunningham said they want VIA to be a place for the community and conduct many classes and events there on a donation basis, making them affordable to all people. “It’s supported by the universe and community. What can I say,” she added. — Susan Riemer

Center sees the joys, challenges of aging on Vashon EDITORIAL SENIOR YEARS Open government: Elected officials should know the laws The Vashon Park District violated the state’s open public meetings act in March when the park board voted in a closeddoor session on a severance agreement for a former employee. The decision itself wasn’t necessarily controversial (we don’t know all the details behind this employee’s termination), but we’re troubled that it was made behind closed doors when it shouldn’t have been. It’s especially troubling considering the park district has struggled to comply with this law before. In 2012, when three of the same park commissioners served, the park board decided in closed session to seek the resignation of former director Jan Milligan. The move, which should have been made in a public session, came as a surprise to the paper and the public. It ignited some public outcry as well as demand for the board to follow laws that are meant to foster government transparency. Park board members surely didn’t violate the law a second time with ill intent. Understandably, they assumed that decisions on personnel matters could be made in private. But open government laws, tools for ensuring government accountability, matter greatly, and it’s important that all elected officials understand them and abide by them. Washington has some of the country’s strongest public meetings and public records laws, but their impact will be diluted if we let them slip. It’s encouraging that park district director Elaine Ott, who didn’t have previous experience with government work, has sought out training on running a public agency. In fact, it was at a recent workshop that she discovered the error made in March. But ultimately it’s the elected officials’ responsibility to know these laws and to seek more information if there’s ever any question. Understanding these laws is so vital, in fact, that the state recently passed a new law that all elected officials who take office after July 1 receive training in open government. The law was passed, in part, because a 2012 state Auditor’s Office report noted more than 250 “open government-related issues” among local governments, mostly because of lack of training and knowledge. When small groups of volunteers make decisions about how our tax dollars are spent and public services offered, it is vital that the public have the tools to keep them accountable. The troubling thing about actions taken in executive session is that the public may not even learn about them. We urge the park commissioners, as well as all of Vashon’s public commissioners, to take this opportunity to brush up on the specifics of our state’s laws. The state Attorney General’s Office has a wealth of information as well as training material. Current park commissioners have said they’d like to turn a new leaf a the district, and in some ways they already have. They should make it a priority to understand open government laws and follow them.
The Vashon-Maury Senior Center turns 30 this year, and we have a lot to celebrate. Prior to our current location on Bank Road, a group of 30 island seniors called the Evergreen Club met at Ober Park. Today the senior center boasts 300 members, with lots of lives touched and lots of stories to tell. I have been the director at the center for over two years. My philosophy when working with others, especially older adults, is that of empowerment. I grew up in a matriarchal Southern family. I was the youngest daughter of three daughters born to the oldest daughter of three daughters. No uncles and no brothers, just strong, hard-working women. Spending time with my grandmother and great-grand mother while my mother worked shaped me into who I am and developed the respect I have for elders. In college I learned about the “strength-based model” in social services. Strength-based models focus on the promotion of the individual. Instead of prescribing solutions to problems, the focus is on recognizing and developing individual strengths. My grandmothers had a healthy sense of self and were well aware of their self-worth. I thought this state of mind was the status quo until I later became a caregiver to seniors suffering from the early stages of dementia. When an individual’s sense of self is slowly slipping away, it is an ongoing challenge to find a way to strengthen community bonds. This slipping away happens to more than those unfortunate enough to develop dementia. It happens to widows or widowers whose grown children have moved

off-island and are too busy with their own lives to visit often. It happens as it gets more and more challenging to drive after dark and your world starts to shrink just as your confidence does. These issues face all of us because age is the great equalizer. When it comes down to it, we are all in the same boat. So if it is inevitable, and it is, then why not make it as life-affirming and empowering as possible? That’s what we do at the senior center. Over the years the center has evolved to meet the needs of a growing population of aging adults. We help them remain active, engaged and independent by providing for their needs through programs such as Meals on Wheels, a free legal clinic, information and referrals as well as our newest program, Neighbor to Neighbor. This program provides older adults with volunteer assistance, enabling them to stay in their homes. Back in college, I also learned of many studies that showed that people who are lonely and depressed are three to 10 times more likely to pass away earlier than those with strong connections. There are many living examples that prove this research. We see it everyday at the senior center. For instance, Luella is at the center for lunch daily. She’s been

Bees and pesticides
Some should rethink their approach For many years now I have been following the plight of the honeybee. It has been distressing to read about the collapse of bee colonies all over America and now our little island. However, I was the most distressed to hear that a group of islanders have taken it upon themselves to threaten and intimidate island

business owners and their employees if they don’t stop selling the suspected bee-killing products. There are so many things wrong with this that it is hard to number them all. First and foremost is the idea that in a time of crisis the first thing you are going to do is threaten your friends and neighbors? Are you really sure that that is the solution to the problem?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
STAFF PUBLISHER: ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR: CIRCULATION:
a participant since the days of the early 1970s and the Evergreen Club. The senior center has been a part of her life for over 40 years. It keeps her active and healthy at 97! Keith came to us reluctantly at first. It was hard losing his wife. In fact, it would have been much easier to just isolate. With encouragement from his family, however, he began coming in to the center for coffee in the morning. That soon expanded to lunch and now years later if Keith doesn’t show up by 10:30 a.m., a staff member is on the phone checking to see if he is okay. Seniors aren’t the only beneficiaries. Recently a young man named Ben came to volunteer at the center. He was shy at first, but his caring persona was quickly shown, and he was embraced by the lunch diners he helped serve. Ben developed the needed skills and professional references to move on to a paying position in Seattle. We miss him, but everyone feels very proud that we were able to assist in his professional development. These are just a few examples of the positive impact the center has on peoples’ lives. In the next 30 years, the need for a strong senior center will only grow. Please help us create a space that supports healthy aging and honors all of our individual strengths.

Writing jokes about our hometown takes a special touch We’re getting older. When this happens, one wants to share one’s knowledge with the younger set to save them the mistaken exits and entrances we’ve experienced and to show them we’ve still got it, baby. For that reason, a group of us are sharing today some tips for writing humorous pieces about Vashon, whether for the stage, the microphone or for the pages of The Beachcomber. There are others on-island who could do this, but they aren’t as cute. So let’s begin. From Cindy Hoyt: Controversy bubbles beneath the surface of our (seemingly) tranquil island, and it’s just waiting to be lampooned by YOU, Mr. or Ms. Humor Writer! Look for “three islanders in a room nets four opinions” at the park district, water district, school board, fire department, chamber of commerce, friends of the library, cemetery commission, Preserve Our Islands, health center, Granny’s Attic, Community Scholarship Foundation, Audubon society, Friends of Mukai, Vashon Island Chorale, land trust, PTA, VYFS, VAA, VIPP, VARSA, PIE and Islanders for Peace. Note: Protective headgear is advised. From Richard Rogers: Cindy’s guideline notwithstanding, never make fun of institutions that islanders hold near and dear. So we would never suggest that VIPP is a front for a Puyallup puppy mill. That would get us into a LOT of trouble! Nor would we insinuate that the carwash kids are a cult that enjoys screaming “carwash!” at complete strangers. We would also never dare to write that Gallery Cruise artwork

selling the suspected beekilling products, islanders could just go buy them in Seattle. What is next? Are you going to go door-todoor intimidating your neighbors? Stop people as they come off the ferry to search for pesticides and plants bought from Home depot or Lowe’s (that might have been treated with the bee-killing prod-
HUMOR ON VASHON is mass-produced in offshore sweatshops. Those peeled-off “Made in Freedonia” labels found on First Saturday had to be a fluke. And would we imply that VAA’s final piece is a takeover by the Franciscans? Wouldn’t write that either. From Harris Levinson: After art and animals, islanders support their schools. So when writing about education, one should never suggest that the new high school isn’t perfect. Sure, the building’s color scheme is that of two of our rival schools; the wood beams may be made of balsa, and students wet their clothing because the bathrooms offer no paper towels. The award-winning campus still features a laughable gym and a track the WIAA has deemed too dangerous for competition (wait, that’s not funny), but it’s got water bottle fountains that tell you how many seals you’ve saved. So we’re happy. From Jeff Hoyt: When running low on fodder for topical local humor (a vast resource, yet prone to depletion), stir the pot to a rolling boil with an incendiary letter to The Beachcomber that punches a selection of island hot buttons. Start off with something like: “As a non-vaccinated proponent of daily round-the-island hydro races at dawn and the open carrying of firearms on the front porch of the Roasterie, I believe that life begins at handholding and that all of America’s military
ucts)? The idea that you can threaten or intimidate others into doing what you want or think is best is appalling and should not be tolerated. If you are so concerned about the bee problem, wouldn’t it be best to try and educate people? Hold seminars about the bee problem. Join a grassroots organization focused on this problem (I know there are some out there). Write your congressman; start a petition; go to
Washington! The ideas are endless and many of them can work. On the island we hear so much about our sense of community, our working together to solve a problem. We need to be the type of community that will not tolerate our friends and neighbors, business owners and employees being threatened or intimidated for any reason ever. — Natalie Winters

Thanks for your help with the Pancake Breakfast
The Eagles was a great place to camp during Festival!
The Sportsmen’s Club would like to extend a big “Thank You!” to the many people who helped with the Pancake Breakfast this year! A partial list includes: VoV, The Chamber of Commerce, True Value, Vashon Events, Vashon Print & Design, The Loop, The Beachcomber, Island Lumber, Larry Fuller, Vashon Roasterie, and IGA. Special thanks goes to Shawn Hoffman of IGA for all the support, storage, special orders, use of equipment and space to have this event. Without you we couldn’t have done this! Thank you!
My family and I came to the island to visit for the Strawberry festival this year. We were looking for a place to camp and were recommended to the Eagles club. I was so amazed at how nice it was camping there. I expected bored kids driving me crazy with no tv or video games, but was very much mistaken. The folks at the Eagles were so nice and camping there was far from boring. There were games, books, and lots of things for the kids. The people were so nice to us and it was very affordable. I recommend this place to anyone looking to camp on Vashon. Thank you Eagles, and thank you Vashon, we love it here and will be returning often.

assets should be moved to the Ukrainian border.” You’ll be awash in material by the following Wednesday. From Greg Wessel: Another source of hilarity is The Beachcomber’s Sheriff’s Report, where you might discover that Bigfoot caused someone to break into K2, or that two perps stole a case of bok choy and abandoned it when they decided it was not a member of the cabbage family. But be careful, because you should avoid insulting anyone personally. By that I mean anyone who deserves ridicule, or tar and feathers, but who also has access to lawyers who will do anything for money. Perhaps I’m being redundant. And never criticize a restaurant. We all know that some deserve fewer than three stars in the Michelin Guide, but so few people are willing to blow their retirement savings just to serve food to us for a year or two that we should be happy they try. That rumor about horses gone missing coincident with the promotion of Steak Night is probably not true. From Jim Farrell: A funny thing to write about is my neighbor Ed. You could write about his stupid dog or the terrible sounds his lawnmower makes as he mows his rock-filled lawn. Or you could write about how he has THREE ROOSTERS, which is THREE MORE ROOSTERS THAN HE NEEDS! Still no eggs, Ed? TRY GETTING SOME HENS! WHY AM I SCREAMING? BECAUSE ED’S ROOSTERS ARE TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER AND HE’S
TRYING TO SQUEEZE EGGS OUT OF THEM! THAT’S NOT HOW IT WORKS, ED! His real name is Henry, but I changed it because he’s a lawyer. From Jeanne Dougherty: Never say anything nice about the ferries. The Tillikum is out of service, again. Your sailing is cancelled because the crew didn’t show. The galley is closed, the elevator broken, and there’s an hour wait because of “heavy traffic.” But there was that time when our friends Kathryn and Lou were taking the last ferry to catch a plane for a once-in-alifetime trip, forgot their passports, and the captain made an unscheduled return to Vashon just so they could grab them from their neighbor. But hey, the galley is closed. What’s up with that? And lastly, you can always get a laugh by incorporating sex into your jokes. Sex is funny for people who get their share of it, but we find it oddly depressing. We can think of other things we like, including our close-knit community, Vashon’s ability to pull together in any crisis that doesn’t involve K2 and your tolerance of wacky writers, but those things don’t make us laugh. They make us smile. That’s probably better, isn’t it? — Jeanne Dougherty, Jim Farrell, Cindy Hoyt, Jeff Hoyt, Harris Levinson, Richard Rogers, and Greg Wessel are all local humorists.
Just Ask Emma Current Real Estate Issues
Q: A:
To view this blog & make comments, visit www.vashonislandrealestate.com/blog.html
I’m getting really frustrated with my lender. She keeps asking for the same paperwork over and over again and won’t take my word for anything. Can you recommend another lender I can work with?
One thing you should consider is that because you’re in the middle of a transaction and buying a home, you must seek the seller’s permission to change lenders. Many buyers never remember that part of the financing contingency although it’s important. This is intended to protect the seller for many reasons. So if you change lenders mid-stream, so to speak, we’ll have to get the seller to agree. More important is the fact that all lenders will be asking you a lot of personal financial questions. They’ve been burned in the past by trusting that the buyer is truthful. They have also been far too sloppy in the past as our recent recession demonstrated. So they want written proof of everything. In addition, your financial situation must be updated on a regular basis. You may show a large amount of cash down payment in your bank account and then spend it on something else before closing. I’ve actually seen that happen. Or you may have your hours cut at your job and really can no longer qualify for the home loan. I always recommend that when someone starts looking to buy they get preapproved. That preapproval letter is almost a requirement when making an offer these days. In addition, it gets your financial paperwork together in one place so that you can send it to the lender right away and also up date it regularly. Don’t think of these paperwork requests as mistrust. Think of it as a protection for you and the bank, credit union or mortgage company you choose to work with. You don’t want to bite off more than you can chew in mortgage payments and neither does your lender. I’d be happy to recommend other loan officers to you but I think the one you’re working with is doing a fine job. Try to be patient with the process.

Rising stars on the world music scene, Mokoomba, a band from the Victoria Falls region of Zimbabwe, made a special stop on Vashon last Friday night at the Red Bike. The band played to an over-flowing house, with people watching from the street, and its performance is said to be one of the best concerts that has ever been played on the island. The six young men who comprise the group have been bringing their unique Afro-fusion energy and traditional Tonga beats to audiences around the world since 2007.

A PICNIC IN THE PARK
Natalie Martin/Staff Photo
Last Friday young ones and their parents escaped the heat under a shade tree at Ober Park, where they gathered to eat lunch while children’s librarian Amelia Lincoln Ecevedo read stories. They were there for Edra’s Picnics in the Park, a free lunch program that the Vashon Maury Community Food Bank started in June. The program is free for children and teens, and those who wish can leave donations. Traci Amico, who coordinates the program, said it has been popular both for the lunches and the activities for kids. It has drawn steady attendance, so much so that the food bank recently decided to add a day. Picnics in the Park will now be offered at noon Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays through Aug. 22.

Legendary musician Bill Carter will perform on Friday.
Renowned singersongwriter comes to Vashon Vashon Events Special Performance series is bringing renowned guest musician Bill Carter with Scott MacDonald and Peter Pendras to the Red Bike at 8:30 p.m. Friday. Carter, who played in the band “P” along with Johnny Depp, has been a pillar of the Austin music scene for nearly three decades, helping shape the city’s rich musical history along with his songwriting partner and wife Ruth Ellsworth. Over 200 artists have found gold in the songwriting genius of this Texas troubadour, including Stevie Ray Vaughan, whose rendition of Carter’s song “Crossfire” became a mega-hit, The Counting Crows, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Brian Setzer Orchestra, Ruth Brown, John Anderson and Waylon Jennings. Known to rock with other supercharged names like Keith Richards and Lyle Lovett, Carter is also pals with Vashon’s Ian Moore, formerly of Austin. Carter will also perform for Moore’s birthday show at the Triple Door on Saturday. Word on the street is if Moore is on the island Friday, he just might drop by the Bike. There is no cover charge for the show, and it is open to all ages until 11 p.m., then 21 and older after that.
Vashon photographer Erin Hogan specializes in hand-colored images. Café Luna will exhibit her work in a show called “A Different Point of View.” Most of Hogan’s landscapes are photographed in the Northwest, especially on Vashon. Hogan uses black and white infrared film, which creates a glowing effect from the heat of living things and a dramatic contrasting and grainy rendering of the original scene. Hub 070 Gallery, located in the old Spinnaker building, will feature the acrylic and ink canvas and pressboard work of two artists, E. Dane Rogers and Ashleigh Darby, in a show called “The Color of Emotion.” Island Quilter will present colorful quilts by mother-daughter duo Amber and Cheryl Wittmayer. Cheryl, a native of Billings, Montana, began quilting in the 1970s, teaching and lecturing at quilt shops and retreats nationwide. Amber lives in Kent and is a professional graphic artist and passionate quilter. She has been quilting for 25 years and has a published pattern called “Mount Rainier Vista.” Raven’s Nest will feature everything Raven, as the bird is the quintessential creature for the Northwest coast native people. Raven was the transformer, the cultural hero, the trickster, the big man who created the world by putting the sun, moon and stars into the sky, fish in the sea, salmon into the rivers and food on the land. Full of magical, supernatural power, Raven could turn himself into anything at any time. This is the last month for Raven’s Nest to exhibit in its present location. The gallery will be moving to the former site of Constantinople. The gallery will close for September and will reopen in the new spot on Oct. 1. Vashon photographer Jenn Reidel will debut “Rodin’s Photographer,” about a time-traveling photographer who finds herself working for the French sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), at the Hastings-Cone Gallery/Snapdragon Cafe. After a trip to the Maryhill Museum of Art, Reidel became intrigued by the museum’s vintage photos of Rodin and how he used the new medium of photography to help create his art. He worked with many great late 19th-century pictorial photographers like Edward Steichen, Stephen Haweis and Henry Coles. The question at the start of her new work was, “What would it have been like to be a photographer at the time when photography was brand new and work with an artist like Rodin?” The answer was to use her imagination and research to discover what experiences and insights came to her. Besides photos of Rodin and his longtime companion Rose Beuret, Reidel will also show souvenir portraits of Rodin’s contemporaries, poet Rainer Maria Rilke and dancer Loie Fuller. Reidel is a conceptual artist whose narrative work combines photography, performance and writing. The Barnworks collective, a group of 12 artists, will exhibit a new show at The Hardware Store Restaurant. This is the group’s first joint showing since Barnworks shuttered it doors two years ago. In a show called “Trajectory,” VALISE Gallery will show work by mixed media artist John Martin, who invited Portland artist and designer H. Brooks Herndon and graphic artist Martin R. Schulke to join him in the exhibition. The Vashon Allied Arts Gallery will continue to show the work of Nancy Sipple and Isle Reimnitz, with new pieces from each artist added for exhibition in August. Lynanne Raven’s colorful, wood-framed mirrors and Charlotte Masi’s organic, engraved and colored gourds will be on display at Heron’s Nest. Vashon Bookshop will show recent work by potter Abraham McBride, who is 19. When McBride was only 14, Vashon Bookshop gave the potter his first art show. Since then McBride, who learned his craft from Liz Lewis, went on to sell his wares at the Saturday market to buy his own kiln. After several years, McBride turned away from pottery to became a Parkour instructor. Last year at age 18, after an 18-day rite-of-passage trek in the Olympic Mountains, McBride found himself coming full circle back to his love of pottery. A featured artist as S.A.W. Gallery, McBride continues to develop his pottery techniques and to teach Parkour in Seattle. His most recent interest is in energetic bodywork, focusing on sports-related injury. He hopes to fund his bodywork training through sales of his pottery. Vashon Intuitive Arts will display work by Jeanne Ioset. Ioset creates enso art, a Zen Buddhist form of ink drawing. The Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Museum will show historical photos taken by Norman Edson of the Tulalip tribe. The photos, shown in conjunction with the museum’s exhibit on Vashon’s Native history, are of Tulalip people doing common activities near where Edson lived in Everett. Artful chickens are imagined in a variety of quilts curated by Margaret Bickle at the Vashon Senior Center.
First Friday artwork will include pieces by (from top to bottom) Abraham McBride, Jenn Reidel, H. Brooks Herndon and Erin Hogan.

FIRES CONTINUED FROM 1
“We do different things at night because it’s dark and dangerous,� Kranjcevich said. In Leavenworth their main objective was to keep the Chiwaukum Creek fire from crossing Highway 2, where it would have put 4,000 structures in jeopardy should it have spread. “It’s a completely different way of fighting fires, and all that helps you better your toolbox,� Copland said. “It’s a big deal for Vashon to be a part of the strike team.� Copland, who has fought wildfires in the state before, said it was “a little nervewracking in the beginning,� when his team first headed into the Mills Canyon fire at night. And though the fires have an element of tragedy, having destroyed around 300 homes so far and caused one death, he also called the work exciting. “Being the fact that we’re city firemen and firefighting is our job, it’s kind of
the same thing, but we’ve never done this before,� he said. Firefighters throughout the state have elected to get extra certification to fight wildfires, and when needed they respond from different areas and bringing equipment in groups called strike teams. However, the current wildfires, requiring thousands of crew members, have quickly exhausted the state’s resources, Copland said. The Vashon responders found themselves working alongside responders from around the country, including California, Mississippi, New Mexico and Arkansas. “This is huge. (They) were out of resources pretty much on day one,� he said. While VIFR firefighters aren’t required to complete the extra training required to respond to wildfires, several people at the Vashon station have. Copland and Kranjcevich said they want Vashon to do its part to help when needed. And though it’s unlikely there will be a wildfire on island, they know the help would be reciprocated. “If the state needs help, you answer the

call,� Copland said. He added that he and other firefighters, who are paid by the state for their time offisland, also appreciate the experience. “It makes you a better all-around firefighter,� he said. Islander TeraJane Ripley is just getting into firefighting, and already she is helping battle blazes in Eastern Washington. The 18-year-old got interested in firefighter as an Explorer during high school. Interested in pursuing it as a career after graduation, she learned of an opportunity to spend the summer as a wildland firefighter through her mother, Karen Ripley, who works for the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR). TeraJane ended up skipping her high school graduation in June to begin training for her new position, something she said was an easy decision, and she was assigned to work on an engine stationed in the Methow Valley. She has spent the last couple weeks helping battle the 400-squaremile Carleton Complex fire.
Page 15
TeraJane said she wasn’t able to say specifically what she’s been doing in the Methow Valley, but she’s been on the front lines of the fire and called the work “difficult but rewarding,� in part because she and other responders have had to deal with the loss of power and water in the area they’ve worked. As of Monday, the Carleton Complex fire, the largest in Washington, was about 60 percent contained. TeraJane will spend the rest of the summer stationed in the Methow Valley. Karen Ripley is also working at a wildfire. A Forest Health Manager for DNR, she responded to a call for volunteers in Oregon and is acting as a public information officer at the Bingham Ridge Complex fire in Linn County. Karen said she and TeraJane hadn’t been communicating much, in part because of the lost power, but that she imagines it’s been “a very intense time and challenging work.� “These are fires of a lifetime,� she said “You don’t experience fires like this very many times in your career.�

BATTER UP: LOCAL TEAM WINS TOURNEY Wrestlers excel in tough competition

A group of island men won the Strawberry Festival 2014 men’s softball tournament. The tournament consisted of eight teams, mostly from off-island. “These men played there hearts out and brought the trophy home,” said Lisa Moe, the wife of one of the players. Pete Chorak, the owner of Sporty’s, sponsored this team and sponsors other teams on the island as well. Members of the winning team are Max Chwaszczewski, Jim Palmer, Kyle Walsh, Rick Bonaventura, Oli Christophersen, Morgan Preston, Aaron Moe, Greg Stoffer, Marcus Ento, Mason Skeffington, Jeremy Denhert and Chorak. Geran Webb is not pictured.
Chase Wickman and Logan Nelson participated in the Cadet National Freestyle and Greco Roman championships in Fargo North Dakota, from July 20 to 25. This tournament is widely regarded as the toughest and largest wrestling tournament in this country. Each wrestler has between 60 to 100 participants in their respective weight class! Nelson, wrestling in the 160-pound category, particularly excelled in the Greco Roman competition, winning three matches, all by pin or technical fall, and losing two, finishing two matches short of AllAmerican status. Wickman, wrestling in the 113-pound category, excelled especially in the Freestyle tournament. After receiving a bye, he won his next two matches to reach the round of 16 before losing to the pre-tournament favorite from New Jersey. Then, in the wrestle backs,

Chase Wickman and Logan Nelson he lost a fiercely competitive battle to a Minnesota opponent, who was a double All American and who had beat him easily last summer.
Both wrestlers continue to improve, their coach Anders Blomgren said, and they proved they can compete with the best in our country.
Rock Riders perform well at county competition, now prepare for State Several of the Vashon Rock Riders horse 4-H club recently had excellent performances at the King County fair. Shea Bray, Roehre Cunningham, Avery Jones, Emily McArthur and Tyler Silverthorn all qualified for one of the top 10 spots in two different divisions. They each have received invitations to compete in the dressage and performance sections at the state fair in Puyallup in September. Each of these club members won either a Grand or Reserve Championship in events
including dressage, equitation over fences, hunter over fences, showmanship, reining, judging and more. The young riders will compete in state judging and dressage from Sept. 6 to 11 and demonstrate their prowess in performance from Sept. 15 to 18. Rock Riders leader Marie Bradley gave the young riders high praise. “They really performed well,” she said. “It was really about the best year I can remember, and I’ve been doing it for a long, long time.”

TAMALES CONTINUED FROM 1
moved from Phoenix to Vashon in 2008 to help care for her brother-in-law, Jim Freebourn, the former owner of Blooms & Things, who was ill with cancer. “I worked in hospitals for a long time as an LPN, and all I ever wanted was to make people happy,” she explained. “But that was hard in the hospital. It just wasn’t the right place for me.” Having never lost her desire to cook, Freebourn went back to school at the age of 43 to become a chef. After graduating from a culinary program in Seattle, with no business spaces that suited her needs available on the island, she decided to host a booth at the Farmers Market. “I realized that I wanted to bring my culture to Vashon.” she said. “I thought about my grandmother’s cooking, and I thought ‘Everybody loves tamales.’ I love making them. But I wasn’t sure if Vashon was ready for tamales.” Tamales are a traditional Mesoamerican food that dates as far back as 8,000 to 5,000 BC. Consisting of masa (cornbased dough) with various meat, cheese or vegetable fillings, they are wrapped in leaves or corn husks, which are discarded after steaming or boiling the tamale. Freebourn makes her tamales from scratch, using GMO- and glutenfree masa and a variety of fillings, including a vegan option. Until she is able to secure her own space to work from, Freebourn will make her fare at Express Cuisine two days a week. “I make them the way my grandmother did. It’s all about the flavor,” Freebourn said. “You get the flavor from the first bite to the very end — this is what makes people happy.” Islanders were happy and more than ready for Patty’s Tamales, as it turned out. When Freebourn first set up her booth at the Farmers Market last September, she prepared 200 tamales to sell. By December, she was having to prepare over 1,000. On the market’s last day in December, people were lined up at her booth a half hour before the market opened. “It was crazy. I never expected that,” she said. Nor did she expect the demand that followed. To help spread the word about her business, Freebourn put a Patty’s Tamales logo on the side of her car. Now, she says, she can’t go anywhere in the car without people approaching her about buying tamales.

“It happens almost everywhere I go,” she said, “but that’s what got me thinking about branching out, so I’d have somewhere to send people.” Forging ahead, Freebourn contacted the local grocery stores. “They were so supportive and really excited,” she said. At IGA, owner Shawn Hoffman said he is happy to carry Patty’s Tamales, which he has tried himself and calls “fantastic.” He noted that he has been looking to get more locally made food on his shelves. “They’re good and available now,” he said. Seemingly unstoppable, Freebourn is also working to get her tamales on the shelves at Trader Joe’s and Costco. She has sent samples to Trader Joe’s to be tested, one step in the store’s process of considering new products. “People like the tamales, and that is what I wanted all along, but there’s more I can do with this,” she said. “If I can make my business successful, that will help bring visibility to the Hispanic community here.” Freebourn says there is a growing Hispanic community on Vashon that needs support and awareness, something she hopes she and her business can help with. “The Vashon community should know that we are here. We are not just Third World. We are here to give and contribute. We have so much to offer,” she said, noting that

some Hispanics on Vashon have college degrees but cannot use them in the U.S. because of the language barrier. “And there are also many who have almost nothing and are struggling, and I remember from my own experiences what that is like,” she said. To that end, Freebourn belongs to a group called the Hispanic Community of Vashon, which meets every few months. The group recently brought the Latin dancers to the Strawberry Festival parade; it is working on finding English language classes for those who need them, and one of its biggest projects has been raising money to send children from the Hispanic community to preschool and kindergarten — something many cannot typically do for lack of funds. “There are so many issues. ... My work is only beginning, and I see my business as a way to help on many levels,” she said. As Freebourn looks to the future of her fast-growing tamale business, she has her sights set firmly on her own retail space and kitchen, where she might start to sell her popular salsa as well. “I never knew where this was going to go. It’s so exciting right now,” she said with a grin. “And here I thought that Vashon wasn’t ready for tamales. But I wasn’t ready for Vashon.”

SEA STARS CONTINUED FROM 1
believe they are narrowing in on the cause of the gruesome disease. The issue has drawn attention from researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Cornell University, University of Rhode Island, Brown University, Western Washington University and the Seattle Aquarium. This summer researchers announced they believe the wasting disease — which kills sea stars by causing them to develop lesions, ooze liquid and fall apart — is caused by a virus or bacteria that spreads through the water or through touch. They also believe environmental conditions, likely warm water, may exacerbate the disease. The disease, which was first spotted about a year ago and was observed on Vashon last winter, has now been spotted as far as north as British Columbia and as far south as Mexico. On Monday it was reported to have infected sea stars in captivation on the Olympic Peninsula. Holtz says that her and Kuperberg’s beach counts have been somewhat informal, but they believe data from their walks from Sunset Beach to Cove Walk tell a story about Vashon’s experience with sea star wasting disease. In July of 2010, the women counted 40 sea stars on their walk; in July of 2011 they counted 44; and in July of last year, 40 again. However on their most recent walk, on July 14, the two pored over the beach even more than usual and counted just 16 sea stars, two of which were visibly sick, as well as two dead stars. “We wondered whether we were going to find any at all. We were really searching,” Holtz said. “That’s probably a much more detailed count than the ones that preceded it.” Other islanders have reported steep declines in the sea star populations at some of Vashon’s most well-known beaches, with an especially bad die-off in June. In May, a group of students taking

oceanography and environmental science at Vashon High School counted about 800 sea stars at several beaches around Quartermaster Harbor as well as KVI beach, a project funded through a grant from the Washington Environmental Council. They estimated that about 15 percent of the sea stars were infected with the wasting disease, according to Tom DeVries, who recently retired from teaching oceanography at the high school. Students returned to the same spots in mid-June and found that 60 to 80 percent of the sea stars were gone, DeVries said, and many of the ones that were left were visibly sick and “at death’s door.” The early summer die-off was also seen at other beaches around Puget Sound, DeVries said, leading some to speculate that warm water could play a role. “The students were surprised, dismayed and somewhat astounded by the fact that these starfish were disintegrating almost before their eyes, and they hadn’t known about it before we undertook this project,” DeVries said. “To see these starfish infected is pretty depressing.” Holtz observed the same thing across the harbor in Dockton. After completing a training last winter, Holtz did her first formal sea star count at the Dockton marina, gathering information for the Multi-Agency Rocky Intertidal Network (MARINe), a coalition of research groups collecting sea star survey data. In Feburary Holtz counted two dozen sea stars, only one of which was visibly sick, in a certain part of the marina. She also saw 25 juvenile sea stars clustered together in another area. “They were all so fat and brilliant. I thought these guys really have resistance,” she said. However, when Holtz returned to the marina earlier this month, she counted just one juvenile sea star and no adult stars. “I couldn’t believe my eyes,” she said. “The areas that had not been touched in February have succumbed now.” One islander has seen the same phenomenon under the water as well.

Wednesday, July 30, 2014 • Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber
Rickerson, an avid scuba diver, dives frequently at Tramp Harbor and at the Maury Island Marine Park and estimates she’s seen about 80 percent of the sea stars disappear there. Some from the scuba community have been asked to count sea stars as deep as 120 feet, she said. Unable to dive that deep, Rickerson says she’s watched the disease progress higher up, taking photos and doing her own informal counts. “There aren’t any to count anymore,” she said last week. Some islanders, however, report a more hopeful picture. Jeff Adams, a marine water quality specialist with Washington Sea Grant who trained islanders last winter to collect sea star data for MARINe, has been doing his own observations under the north-end ferry dock with beach naturalist Kelly Keenan. The two say that there was a large die-off there as well, but those stars didn’t seem to experience the second wave of die-offs that was seen in other places in June, and in recent months, sea star numbers have held steady. At their last count, they saw 20 or 30 sea stars on six pilings, a number Adams called encouraging. “The fact that they seem to be hanging in there is encouraging in the least,” he said. “As long as we’ve got some survivors, we’ll start to repopulate.” Adams, who forwards volunteer data from Vashon and the Kitsap Peninsula on to MARINe, said citizen science has played an important role in the study of sea star wasting disease, as researchers look at why it may affect sea stars in some places more than others. MARINe has hundreds of survey sites along the West Coast. “There are only so many researchers, and for issues where volunteers can collect information just as efficiently, it’s a great way to expand the reach,” he said. While so far just a few Vashon Beach Naturalists have volunteered to look at island beaches, Adams said anyone can get involved. With summer here, he’s also looking to talk with local crabbers. Knowing whether crabbers are still seeing sea stars crawl into their pots could provide
a glimpse of how the disease is affecting sea stars in deeper water. “I’d love to hear from crabbers, if they are catching any,” he said. Rickerson, the scuba diver, said she wonders how the mass die-off of sea stars may affect the rest of the shoreline ecosystem. Sea stars are considered a critical keystone species, feeding on many other organisms, including barnacles and shellfish, and keeping intertidal communities in balance. Rickerson also collects and examines water samples for Public Health — Seattle & King County, and she said her most recent sample revealed far less plankton than she normally sees this time of year. She wonders if perhaps there has been a surge in the creatures that feed on the microorganisms — creatures that typically fall prey to sea stars. “There are too many questions. All I can do is ask more,” she said. On a sunny day last week, Holtz, a Vashon Beach Naturalists leader who can ramble off the scientific names of different sea stars, paid a visit to the beach near the Cove Motel and examined some large pilings, what would normally be prime habitat for sea stars. She found them mostly covered with mussels and barnacles, with a few purple sea stars near the waterline and one sick sea star tucked inside a hollowed-out area. Walking farther down the beach, however, she was excited to see a cluster of small juvenile sea stars in the bow of an old boat. Holtz noted that as sea stars weather the disease, she hopes to see more people volunteer to be eyes on the beach. “I think that on the one side it’s scary because you don’t know if they’re going to rebound. But on the other hand, it’s a rare opportunity to see the impact of a keystone species, to see what it really means,” she said. “I think it’s very important not to miss this chance to learn whatever we are going to learn from it.” For information on collecting sea star data for MARINe, contact Jeff Adams at jaws@uw.edu or (360) 337-4619.

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption Foster is a shy guy that came to VIPP as a found cat in 2011 and over the years has learned to trust the volunteers and will happily accept food and treats. He needs someone who can give him a quite loving home to feel safe. You will often see Foster in a cubbie with one of his shelter buddies like long time resident, Dandy.
Dandy came to VIPP In 2008! Over the years, he has turned from a scared, skinny and mostly unapproachable kitty to a cat who loves to be petted. Dandy has lost one eye but he has a big heart and would love a real home. Adopt them together and get a special adoption fee.
Dear VIPP, Comet was one of 6 kittens turned over to VIPP in 2011. From the start, Comet was the friendliest of the litter always gaming for attention. He was also the first to be picked Comet as a kitten to be adopted. It was discovered that Comet had a form of palsy that made him a bit clumsy but did not affect his health otherwise. Still, because of the palsy, Comet would need to be an indoor only cat and the family that had picked him wanted a cat that could spend some time outdoors, so they chose another kitten. All the other kittens found homes. The day his last sibling was adopted, he was left alone crying. We had another rescue kitten, Lizzie at the time and we decided to have her visit with Comet so he would not be lonely. They instantly became BFF and guess who still has them both? The Fletchers of course.
