Vashon dogs help artist forge a path By SUSAN MCCABE For The Beachcomber
Known best for her greeting card photos of Vashon dogs in cars, Rondi Lightmark is a consummate artist who has applied creativity to every aspect of her life. “I’ve never been trained to do anything before I did it,” Lightmark said. “I just do it, then try to figure out how. Inspiration always provides me the juice to do something new.” Her journey started 20 years ago when she lost her husband to cancer and used the experience to launch herself on a creative journey that ultimately led her to Vashon Island. Despite her whimsical name, Lightmark appears to take nothing lightly, using her life as a resource for learning. Inspiration has been her driver. “Not only was life, like Jim (her husband) whimsical, deep and miraculous,” she said, “it was giving me a huge tutorial.” After caring for her terminally ill husband, then her mother and two friends over a 10-year period, Lightmark earned a master’s degree in psychology so she could counsel others through the grieving process she herself was living. In that process, Lightmark said, she developed a different

Saying goodbye to a beloved islander By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Hopes that a missing island woman would return safely ended abruptly last week with news of her death, and islanders are now preparing to honor her life and fill the many holes her absence has left in the fabric of this community. The body of Kirsten Proffit, who would have turned 45 later this month, was found by a park ranger at Twin Harbors State Park last Thursday evening. She is believed to have ended her life that same day, three days after being reported missing by her husband, Spencer Proffit. The couple, who were in the process of divorcing, were married for 20 years and have two children, Henry, age 12, and Oliver, 9. Her boys were the light of her life, friends and family say. Spencer reported Kirsten missing Tuesday morning last week, after she had not returned to pick up the boys the previous evening. Authorities believed that Kirsten left voluntarily and said that legally they could not conduct a search because of her right to privacy. Friends and family stepped in, however, and searched for her on Vashon, made a Facebook page about her disappearance, distributed a “missing” poster and placed several calls to state parks and campgrounds when they learned she might have been camping. After the news of her death began circulating last Friday, people were encouraged to light candles in her honor, and a Facebook page was made for people to post photos of burning candles. Daniel Luechtefeld, who led a Cub Scout troop with Kirsten, was among those who posted a tribute to her, noting that she had helped him through a dark time. “Kirsten was the candle,” he wrote. Indeed, in talking to family and friends and reading the many words of remembrance in a Facebook page Spencer made for their children, Kirsten appears to have been a candle for countless people and to have served as Vashon’s own goodwill ambassador.

Longstanding restaurant, Sound Food, closes its doors once again By SARAH LOW Staff Writer
The Sound Food building once again sits empty, as both businesses that had been running there have closed because of a vandalism incident that occurred in early August. “It’s devastating,” Rachael Gordon, owner and chef of Rachael’s at Sound Food said. “Things were going so well, I would love nothing more than to be able to continue there.” What Gordon at first thought was a break in occurred sometime after she closed on Aug. 6. When she arrived to open for the morning on Aug. 7, she discovered that her sign had been damaged, found broken dishes in the sink, missing dry goods and the refrigerator she was using for her side of the restaurant was blowing hot air so that everything in it was no longer useable. In all, she sustained $6,000 in losses.
She reported the incident to the sheriffs as well as the owner of the Sound Food building, Jeff Cunningham. Gordon said that the sheriffs who came to take her report told her that they could not find any evidence of a break in, suggesting that the damage could have been done by someone who had access to the building. King County Sheriff Department spokeswoman DB Gates told The Beachcomber that there would not be an investigation into the incident. “If there had been any evidence pointing us in someone’s direction, we’d investigate. But there wasn’t anything we could go on that suggested a suspect.” Without any answers, being fearful about remaining in the space and having a significant financial loss to contend with, Gordon decided she could not continue to operate her breakfast and lunch restaurant at Sound Food, and she
reached an agreement with Cunningham to terminate her lease. Unsure of what she will do now, Gordon is still catering and trying to decide where to go from here. She was approached by Chris Lueck of Express Cuisine, but is hesitant to move into a space on her own. “The shared space in the Sound Food building kept costs down and its location south of town is what made that work so well,” Gordon said. “I don’t think being in town would result in the same kind of success.” The other tenant of the Sound Food building, Brandon D’Imperio, has also shut-down his weekend dinner services until further notice, though he remains under a lease contract with Cunningham. D’Imperio says he is considering starting pop-up dinners at his farm.

Two people arrested on Vashon King County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a man and a woman on Vashon Monday, Aug. 25. Deputies located them in a vehicle in the 12300 block of SW 266th Street after a citizen called about some trespassers. The vehicle had suspected stolen property inside and was impounded. The woman, who had a warrant for her arrest, gave a Kent address. The man was arrested on drug charges and provided a Renton address. DB Gates, spokeswoman with the King County Sheriff’s Office, said the case is with the detective unit for follow-up and potential filing of charges. There is no
timeline for when or if that may occur. In other crime-related news, the King County Sheriff’s Office will hold a public viewing of recovered jewelry from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 16, and from 3 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 18, at the King Count Sheriff’s Office storefront at 10011 SW Bank Rd. Anyone who has reported a theft of jewelry to the sheriff’s office in the last two years is welcome to attend. Those seeking items should take a picture ID and a case number with them. Detectives will be there to assist. — Susan Riemer

Chautauqua Elementary School’s new assistant principal, Kathy Robinson, says she decided to come to Vashon because she enjoys working in small school districts. With about a dozen years of teaching experience to her credit, Robinson was the assistant principal of two primary schools in University Place last year. The position was temporary, however, and when the year was over, she says she was interested in continuing to be an administrator rather than returning to teaching. The job at Chautauqua seemed like a good fit, she said. “I really enjoy the small, close-knit feel of these smaller districts,” she said. She will now commute to Chautauqua from University Place, where she lives about 10 minutes from the Point Defiance ferry. The Vashon Island School District added the assistant principal position at Chautauqua last school year after eliminating it in 2009 as a cost-cutting measure.

Kathy Robinson principal last year, left at the end of the year to take a position in another school district. Robinson has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington and a master’s degree in education at the University of Puget Sound, and she completed her educational administrator certification at UW Tacoma. She has spent most of her teaching career in the University Place School District, where she taught grades five through seven. Robinson said she believes she has valuable experience to bring to Chautauqua, having also taught special education classes and highly capable elementary students. She noted that University Place has more diverse schools than Vashon, and the district is considered a successful one. She also has experience with the state’s new, more vigorous teacher assessment program. “I’m kind of excited to bring some things that have been successful that I know work and see what I can do here with some of the ideas I have,” she said.

The Country Store & Farm has two new services available now to islanders after recently contracting as a U-Haul moving equipment and supply dealer. It has also established a meeting room for community use on its upper floor. Owner Mike Biel said that a representative from U-Haul had approached him several months ago, but he wasn’t sure if it would be a good fit for the store. Ultimately, he decided it would be a good move, complimenting the store’s established UPS shipping service. The store will not have every truck available on site, but it will be able to get whatever anyone wants or needs, especially with some advance notice, Biel said of the truck and trailer rentals. “We’ll probably have about six to eight vehicles here to start, small trailers — enclosed and open, as well as a carhauler trailer — a pick-up and a van … a tasteful amount. It won’t look like a truck lot from the street; everything will be in the back.” The store will carry moving and shipping boxes and supplies as well. Biel has also recently created a community meeting room in a space on the upper floor of the store, which is available during the store’s regular business hours (9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday to Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sundays). The space can accommodate roughly 40 people and will have tables and chairs if needed. Users will have access to a bathroom, and coffee service can be added for a fee. Anyone interested in booking the space should contact Keri Ohrt at 463-3655 for rates and possible discounts. The room is available free of charge for nonprofit organizations.

Did you know?
How you brush is more important than the toothpaste you use. This may be surprising considering the many types of toothpaste we see at the grocery store or pharmacy. The only active ingredient in most toothpastes is flouride, which helps prevent cavities. Whitening toothpastes typically are more abrasive to help remove stains, but can also abrade tooth structure if used for long periods of time. If you think you may be allergic to toothpaste, it is likely the sodium lauryl sulfate found in many toothpastes to create a foaming effect. There are many good flouride tooth pastes without sodium lauryl sulfate. Overall, it is best to spend more time brushing and less time shopping for toothpaste!

Forum on dementia to meet next week One in nine people over 65 has Alzheimer’s By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
The Vashon Social Service Network (VSSN) and the county’s Advisory Council on Aging and Disability Services will host a forum on Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia on Friday, Sept. 12. The event at the Presby terian church will include the screening of an award-winning film on Alzheimer’s disease, resource tables with information, and a talk by George Dicks, a mental health practitioner at Harborview Medical Center, who is considered an expert in geriatric issues. Ava Apple, the director of the Vashon Senior Center, which is part of VSSN, said she expects the event will draw a crowd.
The island has a large population of older people, she noted, with more residents per capita over 50 than any other place in King County. Many people don’t know a lot about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, Apple noted, and the information presented will be valuable, even for those not yet touched by either disease. “The chances are it’s going to affect someone in your life, whether it’s your parents, one of your friends or someone in your family,” she said. The Alzheimer’s Association indicates that one in nine people over age 65 has Alzheimer’s disease. The film, “The Forgetting: A Portrait of Alzheimer’s,” is a 2005 documentary that weaves together the history and biology of Alzheimer’s disease with the real-world experiences of patients and caregivers and current efforts to find a cure.
ISLAND SECURITY SELF STORAGE
“The Key to Your Storage Needs”
The documentary features David Hyde Pierce, an actor who has advocated for Alzheimer’s awareness and research. Dave Rogers, an islander and member of the Seattle King County Advisory Council on Aging and Disability Services, said he hopes the event will also raise awareness about the council and its work. The group, with about 25 volunteer members, advocates on behalf of older people and adults with disabilities in King County by advising agencies on services offered, helping decide how grant funds are spent, advocating in Olympia for needed programs, hosting educational events and more. Rogers, who has been a member of the group for five years, said the council would like to have more of a presence in unincorporated King County and is hosting its first event on Vashon.

He noted that Dicks, of Harborview, is very knowledgeable and will answer islanders’ questions at the end of his presentation.

EDITORIAL Facing sorrow in the wake of tragedy Once again, the island grieves Remembering, COMMUNITY honoring Kirsten Proffit for a life gone too soon In recent years, the community of Vashon has had to endure more tragedy than any community of its size should have to bear. And last week’s trials, for many, were unspeakable in their difficulty: the anguish of a loved one missing, followed by the crushing news that came Friday. Once again, we are grappling with suicide and left reeling. Each untimely death the island has endured has affected many, and ripples of pain stretched far into the community and still linger. Reached over the weekend, Jeffrey Zheutlin, the clinical director at Vashon Youth & Family Services, noted Washington has a higher that this time the person suicide rate than many who ended her life is a other parts of the country. mother, and that raises questions and creates a It is time for renewed all its own. efforts on Vashon to stem pain Mothers close to this tide, which leaves so Kirsten — those who shared the celebrations much pain in its wake. and challenges of day-in and day-out caregiving — say she was a fabulous, fun mother, who loved her boys fiercely. If that is the case, many wonder, how could she take her life? The answer lies with what the family members have shared in their grief: Kirsten struggled with mental illness for years, and in the end, it was the illness that took Kirsten away from the family, friends and community she so loved. Zheutlin cautioned people not to judge Kirsten or place blame for her death. Suicide is often a decade or more in the making, he said, and when people choose it, they do not want to hurt anyone, but they want to escape pain they cannot find a way to free themselves from. Suicide claims tens of thousands of lives each year, and Washington’s figures are higher than in many other regions of the country. It is time for renewed efforts on Vashon to stem this tide, which leaves so much pain in its wake. At The Beachcomber, we are grateful for Kirsten’s family, who made the decision to share private information that helps illuminate the life and death of this much-loved woman, who did so much for Vashon. Long before Kirsten was reported missing, we planned to run a story about Rondi Lightmark, which is featured this week on the front page. Unbeknownst to us, she also suffered considerable loss in her life. She told author Susan McCabe, “We think we have to pick up the pieces all alone, but the universe is going to bring you joy no matter what.” That is what we hope for those Kirsten loved, that islanders will hold them in their hearts and will provide comfort and assistance, now and in the weeks ahead, and that with time, joy will find all her loved ones again.
Wake. How is it that one word can have so many meanings? A celebration of one’s life now departed that involves festive remembrance. The stream of water that follows a boat or ship. To arise. Many people may not realize how collaborative an art writing becomes. Oh sure, us wordsmiths flint the spark putting ink to paper, or #2 pencil perhaps. After the initial draft there are a host of editors, layout artists, proofreaders and to the bane of some and the boon of others, people with lined pockets who pay the printers to bring it to life. Such was the process for my piece that was to appear here this week. A carefully crafted, reviewed, rewritten, revised and finalized piece containing 800 words about supporting families, prompted by Robin Williams’ death, was ready for the public. The only non-cooperative member of the collaborative team is daily life. And at 4:48 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 29, 2014, my heart ripped open and tears flowed, and the distant, well contained, refined piece seemed glaringly inappropriate. Even as the shock flowed through my body and spontaneous tears flowed down like some river over spilling the banks of my heart, I agreed it had to be pulled. Then, I volunteered to write a replacement. You see, since I was 23, I have walked alongside and now work in the homes of families both typical and with special needs, helping them find their way in parenting and loving and building memories.

Eating locally: The movement has its roots in the Napoleon era In the Northwest and here on Vashon, we are increasingly embracing a locavore lifestyle, eating local foods to support the local economy and benefit the environment. But eating locally grown food is no modern notion. In fact, Napoleon Bonaparte and Clarence Birdseye forever changed the course of our culture and lifestyle. Two events separated by 100 years contributed to the change from the farm-totable culture of their time to the farm-tofactory-to-freeway distribution of food that we see today. Bonaparte could only advance his armies as far as food rations would allow. So in 1795 he sponsored a contest for food preservation, which spurred an idea that eventually led to the Mason canning jar. Clarence Birdseye, an inventor from New York, was later inspired to develop flashfreezing techniques after observing Inuit ice fishing. Today that technology allows us to enjoy “fresh, previously frozen” tuna from Samoa. Fresh, previously frozen tuna from
FINE DINING By JUDITH NEARY Samoa in the grocery store was the catalyst that forever changed the course of my food buying habits. I live on Vashon, where “live locally” is not only our community’s daily mantra, it is a state of mind. One in every three cars in line for the ferry is a Prius, and if you are at the four-way stop in town, the default right of way goes to the car that runs on recycled cooking oil. As I picked up the piece of tuna from Samoa that was wrapped in plastic and on a Styrofoam tray, I started to think about what it took to get that $6 piece of fish to the island market. The mindset of a culture that supports purchasing tuna that is airfreighted from Samoa is sheer insanity. I put the fish back
and bought locally farmed — that’s right, farmed — salmon. Here in the Northwest, the locavore lifestyle has been around since the late 1970s and early 80s. It never was a trend; it was a consciousness embraced by people who asked what was available from local farms. Local restaurateurs have embraced this philosophy as well and have a devoted following of customers. The grand daddy of locavorism is The Herbfarm in Woodinville. The Herbfarm’s annual 100Mile Dinner features nine courses of food, including wine, with all ingredients originating within a 100-mile radius. I try to eat locally when I can, but I will confess that around February, when the Northwest winters take their toll on my attitude, I will buy oranges from California. I resist the strawberries as I will wait for the ones that are grown locally in the summer. Avocados, however, are my karmic downfall. I just cannot resist fresh guacamole on my fish tacos. A friend in the community raises tur-
keys. Starting in late September, he starts feeding them apples from his trees. By the time November rolls around and they are scheduled for the dinner table, their meat is flavored with the taste and smell of Washington apples. The one drawback is that he started naming them after famous baseball players. Ichiro is still around, but Ken Griffey Jr. is gone from the team. While we live in a unique community and embrace the lifestyle and culture of being a locavore, not everyone has that luxury. I consciously rethink my food purchases and have enjoyed the challenges of cooking seasonal offerings from my garden or the local farmers market. In the truest sense, I am a foodie and a locavore, so that makes me a “foodavore.” With that said, can anyone give me some suggestions on a menu that includes Walla Walla sweet onions, Yakima cherries, coho salmon and wild fennel? — Judith Neary is a certified master kitchen and bath designer who owns a design studio in downtown Vashon.

Islander Lisa Chambers (pictured above, center) recalled a time in the mid-1980s when Robin Williams (pictured above, left) performed at the University of Puget Sound Fieldhouse. “We had time to meet and talk with him, and he was extremely kind to us,” Chambers said of the late comedian. “He wanted to know about poverty in Tacoma and other issues relevant to our community. We put a box full of toys that we’d found in thrift stores up on stage, and when he got up there, he ad-libbed with them like he’d been thinking about it for days. He amazed me.” Another islander, Rick Sassara (pictured above, to Williams’ left against the curtain) was also in attendance.

nna Witte, an artist and children’s book author raised in Spain but now living on Vashon, will display her work at Café Luna in a show called “New Collages: Odalisques and Still Lives.” In her collages she draws inspiration from many sources: from the controlled classic compositions of the paintings of Velázquez and Delacroix to the colorful palette of Matisse and Valadon, and from countless fairy tales and myths. She usually chooses whimsy over seriousness and color over dread. Island artist Hita von Mende will show mixed media work at The Hardware Store Restaurant. At the Hastings-Cone Gallery next to Snapdragon, collage work by Kate Endle and abstracts by Chris Ballew will be on display. Jayne Norton will display her “Super Moon” series at Our Community Credit Union. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Vashon High School boys basketball Hoopsters.

Renowned artists bring documentary to Vashon A new documentary by Vashon artists Bo Bartlett and Betsy Eby, “SEE: An Art Road Trip,” will be presented by the Vashon Film Society as its First Friday Art Film, following the gallery cruise. It will show at 9:30 p.m. Friday at the Vashon Theatre. Bartlett, an internationally recognized realist oil painter, collaborated with his wife Eby, an encaustic painter, to make the film. The documentary covers the couple’s search to capture images of iconic American land art sites, art world luminaries and historic art studios. For over seven years the duo traveled to and filmed places from the spiral etty in the Great Salt Lake to Mount Rushmore and visited historic art studios as well as art world luminaries such as Andrew Wyeth and his famous model Helga. Bartlett and Eby were intent on conveying their philosophy that “art is everywhere, you just have to open your eyes to see it.” But when Bartlett unexpectedly began to experience real-life vision problems during the road trip, the film’s story evolved from its focus on beauty and art to an existential meditation on seeing art in the everyday. Bartlett and Eby live part-time on Vashon and are currently spending most of the year in Georgia because of the establishment of the Bo Bartlett Center at the College of the Arts at Columbus State University. “SEE: An Art Road Trip” runs 75 minutes. Tickets are $7, for all ages, at the door.

LIGHTMARK CONTINUED FROM 1
philosophy about death, grief and the course of life. When life is blown wide open, she says, there’s a shattering. “We think we have to pick up the pieces all alone,” she adds, “but the Universe is going to bring you joy no matter what. Trust and a sense of wonder are essential for becoming the new self that is trying to emerge.” After her husband’s death, Lightmark decided to give herself three years to launch a professional writing career. And she succeeded. An open letter in her local Vermont pager that she wrote to her husband led to a freelance position writing arts and education pieces and eventually to magazine work. By 1998, Lightmark had co-written a book about the spiritual aspects of dog training with expert April Frost. Dogs. Lightmark calls them “guardian spirits” and claims to have loved them — and creating greeting cards — since childhood. She arrived on Vashon 10 years ago to be close to her children. Here, she took a black and white photo of her daughter’s dogs, in a rustic structure on KVI Beach and the result was the start of what became a nine-year celebration of Vashon dogs … mostly in cars. That photo also inspired Lightmark’s thriving business in greeting cards. With encouragement from people like Priscilla Schleigh of Giraffe on Vashon, Lightmark found herself possessed by the whimsical and sometimes profound images of Vashon dogs. “I found myself celebrating the marvelous spirits in these animals who go with us everywhere,” she said. Her company is the only one in the world with this particular focus. The dogs Lightmark photographs are not identifiable pedigrees; they are personalities. Those personalities inspire the captions she adds to the cards. Lightmark applies her creative sensibilities to capture images that touch human hearts, and the captions, she says, come later to amplify the message in the photo.
Don’t Miss Us at the
Susan McCabe Photo
Rondi Lightmark stands next to the first Vashon dog image she created. “Creating these images,” she says, “is healing for me.” She adds that she hopes they’re healing for others as well. Most of Lightmark’s cards are not aimed at a particular occasion. “I’ve learned that the responses people have to my images are very personal, so I don’t want to constrain their use.” Nine years ago Lightmark created 24 images of Vashon dogs with captions, printing and folding greeting cards herself on demand as island stores requested them. Today, her 2014 catalogue sports 96 images — her best sellers — and, through a printing and fulfillment house in San Francisco, Lightmark now sells her cards nationwide, in Canada and as far away as Australia with a current print run of 96,000. All Vashon dogs and now some cats. Once again, taking inspiration as opportunity, Lightmark has learned photographic imaging, marketing, promotion, accounting, distribution and website design along her journey with Vashon pets. “I do it all “from initial photograph through final sale,” she said. That was all true until this year when demand for her cards grew to the point that she had to hand over print-
ing and distribution to the San Francisco company. Despite her growing business, Lightmark says she knows each animal in her images and the humans they’re attached to. In fact, her current collection of cards includes stories of each on the back. Captions on the front speak to the moment she’s captured like Bearwatcher, a Golden retriever/Great Pyrenees mix, beloved companion of Eva De Loach, leaning out the window of his human’s 1994 Nissan SUV to quote composer Richard Wagner with “Joy is not in things. It is in us.” On the back of the card Lightmark tells the year, make and model of the car in the shot along with the story of how she got the photo. She always asks permission from the dogs’ humans to use their images and, when they result in a card, she gives the humans 12 freebies. “It’s a love exchange,” says Lightmark. As her business has grown, so has Lightmark’s wish to make her creations serve purposes beyond the business. “Ultimately I’d like to see these images in senior centers, as well as inner city schools and health care facilities where they can inspire a smile or two,” she says. She’s already sharing the joy and a percentage of the proceeds from her sales with animal rescue organizations she believes in. People can go to Lightmark’s website at www. lightmarkarts.com and find not only the 2014 catalogue of cards, but opportunities to donate to Vashon Island Pet Protectors and two other animal rescue organizations. People can also share photos of their favorite pets and find out how to use Lightmark Press products in their organization’s fundraising efforts. People can also purchase their favorite Lightmark cards and read the blog that has begun chronicling Lightmark’s experiences with Vashon dogs, stories of humor and poignancy that speak to all. Lightmark’s message to Vashon animal lovers is that she would love to celebrate every dog and cat on Vashon. “I want people to know that if their dog’s photo doesn’t turn into a card it’s only due to my own creative or time limitations,” she said. Lightmark says she is forever grateful to Vashon-Maury Island for nurturing her love of dogs and the business from which she still draws daily delight.

KIRSTEN CONTINUED FROM 1
Tina Parrish, a close friend who met Kirsten in “the trenches of motherhood” several years ago, said Kirsten was good at “gathering lives.” Last Friday night several women came together to grieve, and for many, Parrish said, Kirsten was the first person who had befriended them on the island. “She was so good at reaching out to other people,” Parrish said. “She was so good. I just wish she was better at reaching out for herself.” Conversations with her loved ones reveal a woman who dazzled with her vibrancy and warmth, who was at home, whether creating a website through her own business, serving as a scout leader, sewing quilts in the local quilt guild or enjoying an evening out with friends, belting out a song on karaoke night. Most people on the island knew her as this vibrant woman — the first to volunteer for a task or an adventure, an all-around lover of life, who would not let anyone near her play the part of a wallflower. Yet her closest family and friends say there was another side of Kirsten that many people did not know: Kirsten struggled with mental illness for many years and sought treatment for it. It is well documented that some mental illnesses, such as depression and bipolar disorder, raise the risk of suicide. Mental health officials say the topic of suicide should be discussed in terms of mental health, as the decision to end one’s life has deep roots and does not arise on its own. Now, while honoring Kirsten, family members say it is important that this information be shared so that people might make sense of her death, that mental illness might lose a bit more of its stigma and that someone else might be helped because of it. Jessica Proffit, one of Kirsten’s sisters-in-law, is a clinical social worker, who noted their large extended family loved Kirsten, including the young family members with whom Kirsten had a particular knack of connecting. Through the years, Kirsten shared some of her struggles with Jessica, who said Kirsten did a lot to counter her mental health problems. “She fought really hard for a really long time,” Jessica said. “She was functioning with something enormous.” Kirsten truly was someone who loved life and loved to help others, Jessica stressed, but she and others say that Kirsten also used staying busy and involved as a coping mechanism. “It worked for many years,” Jessica said. “In the end she was not able to fight it any longer.” Now, Spencer said, it is up to those left behind to take the pain and lessons from Kirsten’s life and death and carry them forward in a meaningful way. “Can we help somebody else?” he asked. Kirsten was born Sept. 29, 1969, in Berkeley, California, to parents Tom and Anne Anderson. Family members say she liked to claim she was in Berkeley in the late 1960s. In 1970, her family, which grew to include five sisters and a

brother, moved to Utah, and in 1973 to Michigan, where they lived until 1980. In Kirsten’s teenage years, they moved to Atlanta, and in 1993, she moved to Provo, Utah, where she met and married Spencer. As a couple they moved around as well, living in Atlanta, North Carolina and finally settling in Washington State. Spencer recalled that they came to the Northwest on vacation and loved the green, the ferries and outdoor lifestyle. “People were nice. More relaxed than in the East. The lifestyle seemed to fit with us,” he said. They first settled in Bellevue, but it was a year that rained constantly. They moved away to Utah, he said, and instantly missed the Northwest. They returned a few years later and again lived in Bellevue, eventually settling on Vashon about eight years ago. “We just felt it was a good place for the kids to roam,” he said. At first they lived in a rural area of the island, and Kirsten felt lonely and isolated, he recalled. When they got a chance to manage the Vashon Place Apartments, they intended to stay for two years, but they stayed for almost seven. Kirsten thrived in the environment, as she was very much a people person, he said. As the children got older, she became involved in orga-
nizations that the boys were part of, which Spencer said helped her find her groove on the island. “I would say that she loved the island because it was such a great place for the kids, and she loved other kids and making it a great place for everybody,” he said. “That is who she was and what she wanted to do.” And, in fact, that is what she did, by all accounts. The list of organizations she was part of most recently includes the board of the PTSA, where president Jackie Merrill credits her with bringing back Science Nights, helping with the group’s annual auction and an abundance of other tasks, down to designing the new Chautauqua T-shirts. “Every time you see a T-shirt, know she had a hand in helping creating those,” Merrill said. Kirsten had recently become active in VARSA, which works to prevent teenage drinking and drug use on Vashon, and she was long involved with scouting. Ellen Denny, whose son was part of her troop, said she will be missed tremendously there for the creative projects she brought and the stories she told whenever there was a boring moment. “She even had a Scout shirt. I was in awe of her. She STORY CONTINUES, NEXT PAGE

KIRSTEN CONTINUED FROM 19
Kirsten Proffit September 29, 1969 – August 28, 2014 A Remembrance Service will be held September 3, 2014 • 7:00 pm at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
A full obituary will follow in a future issue of The Beachcomber.
Karen Kathleen (Sandy) Smith Karen Smith, M.D., who devoted her life to the care of children as a rural pediatrician, pediatric consultant, medical teacher, and medical director over three decades, has died at the age of 62. The cause was cancer. Cheerful, smart, and loyal, Dr. Smith is missed by her adoring spouse, Judith A. Schwedes, M.D, and by the multitude of friends and colleagues who knew her not only as Dr. Smith and Karen, but also by the affectionate nicknames, Sandy, Stormy, and Bhasa. Those of us who saw Dr. Smith in action admired the cool logic she applied to problems and the fearlessness with which she tackled these problems. While a high school student in Reno, NV, she co-founded a suicide prevention hotline for teenagers, staffed by teenagers. After graduating from the Tufts University School of Medicine and completing a residency in pediatrics at Seattle Children’s Hospital, Dr. Smith began her medical career by founding the first pediatric primary care practice in a remote area of rural California. That was the beginning. After moving to San Francisco, Dr. Smith served as a clinical instructor and faculty pediatrician at Oakland Children’s Hospital and San Francisco General Hospital and then instructor of pediatrics at the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine. She worked as Medical Director of a UCSF community clinic for women and children and as Medical Director of an HMO health plan in San Francisco. The position she held most recently was Medical Director for Interactive Training Resources at the University of Washington. Dr. Smith’s varied medical career also included extensive research, consulting, and speaking on pediatric asthma management, immunization, obesity, child abuse, lead poisoning, healthcare for foster children, insurance reform and a wide range of other topics. Her reach was broad and deep. Outside of medicine, Dr. Smith pursued a wide variety of interests, including photography, gardening, and traveling (on foot when younger) in places like India and South East Asia. She maintained a life-long passion for Buddhist thought and practice. Above all, she was devoted to her life partner and to her many friends. Her spouse Judith A. Schwedes, M.D. of Vashon WA, survives Dr. Smith. She is survived also by her brothers Bernard Jeffrey Smith of Colfax CA and Sean Patrick O’Leary Smith of Sparks, NV, and by cousin, Linda Smith Yarbrough of Kingman, AR. Her parents, now deceased, were Katherine O’Leary Smith and Bernard James Smith of Reno, NV. Also deceased is her cousin Scott Smith. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Puget Sound Zen Center. Please visit our online guest book at www.islandfuneral.com.
always had it going on,” Denny said. In another online tribute, Luechtefeld noted Kirsten’s love of tie-dye and his own dislike of it. “I am going to try to make tie-dye neckerchiefs for our scouts before her memorial service,” he wrote. “As a tribute to her generosity and service, we will wear them for a period of mourning and remembrance.” Kirsten also belonged to the Vashon group Family of Women, which encourages its members to take responsibility for successful relationships and contribute to society by being leaders. One member called Kirsten “the ruby in the room.” Another said, in part, “She did not follow the
crowd and would speak her own thoughts. ... She made many of us brave. She made many of us stretch to do more, and she made many of us learn to care more.” Kirsten had a tribe of women friends, on island and off — and she went out of her way to help them, even in quiet ways: insisting on an outing with a friend struggling with post-partum depression, nudging another into starting her own business and creating a welcoming environment
for a friend’s special needs child. Some friends and family say now they will look to her example — with moderation — and step up their own efforts with friends, family and community. “I think her loss has left such a huge void, but we can bridge it if we all work together,” Spencer said. “We can take the different aspects of her life, and if we share those, we can bridge that void.”
Service of Remembrance A Service of Remembrance will meet at 7 p.m. this evening, Sept. 3, at the Church of Jesus of Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 9330 SW 204th St. on Vashon. Outdoor music and youth activities organized by local Boy and Cub Scouts will begin at 6:15 p.m. Please arrive early and park across the street in the school parking lot to reserve closer parking for those who need it. Guests are encouraged to bring handpicked flowers and to dress in bright colors to celebrate Kirsten’s vibrant spirit. A funeral and interment will take place in Richmond, Utah, on Saturday.
Charlotte Anne Williams june 10, 1934 - august 11, 2014
Charlotte passed peacefully at Virginia Mason hospital on August 11, 2014 after long struggle with a number of illnesses. She considered her long marriage to Ed one of her great accomplishments and left us the morning of their 56th wedding anniversary. Charlotte Epley was born in Douglas Arizona, attended Tucson High School, Northern Arizona University, El Camino College and Cal State Hayward. Seeking a more adventurous life, she signed on with Continental Airlines (the only airline in the 1950’s that would hire tall stewardesses). While based in Denver, she found her dream pilot, Ed Williams who worked for the competitor, United Airlines. They married a short time later, had two children, and resided in southern California then the Bay Area. She embarked on a career as a registered nurse, later obtaining her teaching and Masters degrees. She worked as a middle school science teacher and school counselor in northern California. Charlotte and Ed moved to Vashon Island in 1977 where they settled into island life in their unique historical home, San Souci on Quartermaster Harbor. Charlotte enjoyed her yearly tasks decorating for the Kiwanis Holiday dinner and helping with the annual Pancake breakfast. They enjoyed a life of travel with cruises to ports around the world and yearly visits to Maui and Palm Springs. Their travels took them to places as far flung as China, Peru and Egypt. In later years they explored famous sites throughout the USA. Charlotte reveled in her eccentricities, love of animals, numerous collections, big old house, over-the-top holiday decorating, 4th of July on the harbor and conservative ideals. She and her grand-daughter Brette had a special affinity for each other as fellow redheads and she loved her family in her own way. She converted to Catholicism during her last years and appreciated the friendly folks at St. John Vianney church. The family thanks the medical professionals at Virginia Mason Hospital, The Kenney Home, Providence Mt. St. Vincent, Vashon Community Care Center and Vashon Fire and Rescue. She is survived by her husband, Edgar Williams, daughter Shannon WilliamsFlora, son-in-law, Jon Flora, granddaughter Brette Flora, and son, Bret Howard. She had a special place in her heart for nephew Doug Epley, his wife (Norma), son (David) and brother (Bobby), grand-niece Lynann Miller, cousin Roi Armstrong and the rest of their families. She was pre-deceased by her mother Margaret Thomas, half-brother Robert Epley and father Joseph Howard Epley. Services will be 11 a.m. Saturday, October 11, 2014 at St. John Vianney Church on Vashon Island. Memorial donations can be made to Vashon Fire & Rescue (P.O. Box 1150), or St. John Vianney Church, (16100 115th Ave. SW), Vashon, WA 98070.

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption Born 2007, BP was found by the Harbor school on July 3rd but never claimed. He is a big sweetheart, extremely loving with humans - dropping over on his side at the least sign of attention.
Born 2010, Oliver and his best friend Charlie were adopted as shelter kittens. When the owners moved they could not take them along. Oliver is “Mr. Curious� and likes to explore and check out what is going on. Oliver has great house manners and he would like to find a loving home with Charlie. To see Charlie go to VIPP.org.
Dear VIPP, Part 2: The Kit Boogaloo A month after Lonesome Jack’s sister, Gigi, passed, the folks at VIPP forwarded a photo of a kitten found by a dumpster in Renton. All his litter-mates Bandit had perished in the heat, but he had been saved and passed hand-to-hand until arriving within the caring embrace of a Vashon foster family. One look and the masked Chocolate-tipped Siamese Snowshoe kitten named Bandit found a new home with Lonesome Jack and his family. After an introductory period, the spitfireboogieing-force of nature called Boogaloo not only transformed Lonesome Jack’s life, but revitalized and energized the entire household. The Kit taught Jack how to play with toys, brought Jack out of his shell, and the two came to love one another just as Jack had loved Gigi and Gigi had loved Jack. Love is never wasted. Long live the memory of Gigi and the enduring VIPP legacy!
