the county’s new Community Mobility Contracts Program. Seattle will expand service on Metro routes that serve the city by about 10 percent. However, county representatives say that the need remains for long-term funding that meets King County’s current and future demand for bus service. According to King County Metro, 15 percent more bus service is needed today — and ridership is growing. Although Metro’s budget will maintain the current service level for two years, and Seattle funding extends through 2020, neither enable sustainable long-term growth in transit service. County leaders have pledged to continue working for a transportation funding solution. State Sen. Sharon Nelson, (D-Maury Island), who earlier this year stressed the need for more transit, not less, summed up in one word her feelings about the budget news: “Great,� she said. She noted that it is possible that a transportation package will be taken up in Olympia when the legislative session convenes in January. She also made clear, however, her priorities will be on education in part because of the state Supreme Court’s McCleary Decision requiring the Legislature to fully fund education by 2018 and the passing of Initiative 1351, which sets lower class sizes. — Susan Riemer

Last week the King County Council voted unanimously to approve the county’s first biennial (two-year) budget, a $9 billion plan that includes funding to maintain existing bus service for the next two years. Councilmember Joe McDermott, who chairs the Budget and Fiscal Management Committee and represents Vashon, said he is proud of the budget, but noted there is more to do. “Our work will continue in the coming years as we work with partners to find more sustainable ways to provide and fund critical services,� he said in a press release. Deep cuts to Metro’s service throughout King County were proposed earlier this year, though Vashon was spared the worst of the cuts and was not slated to see reductions until September of 2015. Those cuts, which included modest service reductions to routes 118, 119 and 116 Express, will no longer take place as scheduled. Additional pending cuts throughout Metro’s system have also been cancelled. County representatives attribute Metro’s ongoing efficiency gains, recent projections of lower fuel costs and other financial improvements with enabling the council to adopt a budget that eliminates the need for the service reductions. The proposed Metro cuts created deep concern in affected areas, and earlier this month Seattle voters approved funding for additional bus service. The City of Seattle will purchase Metro service through

Two island medical clinics bring on new health care providers two daughters now in college. “I have enjoyed my time here so far,” Chaffin said about his work at the clinic. “Everyone has been welcoming, and I think it is a good fit.”
By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
At a time when many islanders are expressing concerns about health care on Vashon, two clinics have hired new health care providers, helping to alleviate staffing needs at both clinics. Marnie Devlin, ARNP, joined Fulton Family Medicine this month, and at the Franciscan Medical Clinic, Dr. Scott Chaffin began in October, after having filled in there for a few weeks this summer. Representatives from both clinics say they are continuing to look to hire additional providers.

Scott Chaffin, D.O. Chaffin, an osteopathic physician, lives on the island and joined the clinic after leaving a position at a Franciscan clinic in West Seattle to do so. Scott Thompson, a spokesman for the Franciscan health system, said Franciscan officials had reviewed their clinic resources and asked him if he would like to make the switch — and he gladly accepted. “They needed help here,” Chaffin said. “I live on the

island and have been interested in working here, but there was no availability when I had started. ... It is a better commute, too.” Chaffin, a graduate of the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, is board certified in family medicine and in integrative holistic medicine. The focus of his practice, he said, is preventive medicine, integrative medicine, musculoskeletal medicine and osteopathic treatment, all in the context of family medicine. From the beginning, he said, he was drawn to osteopathic medicine for its holistic philosophy and its training in hands-on treatment. Family medicine also drew him, he noted, because of its broad scope and the chance to work with people of all ages. “I also really value the importance of continuity of care,” he added, noting that such continuity is often overlooked in what he called “our disease-care system,” which too rarely focuses on health instead of disease. Outside of his professional life, Chaffin said he moved to Vashon two years ago from coastal Maine, and has an affinity for outdoor activities, including hiking, canoeing and skiing. His family includes a partner on the island and

Poor oral hygiene can be deadly. More and more research articles are suggesting that your oral health can affect multiple systems in the body. Some of these findings include: -Inhaling bacteria from the mouth can lead to pneumonia. -Gum disease has been associated with decreased bone mass -Pregnant women with gum disease are more likely to give birth to underweight babies -Multiple sources have linked gum disease with heart disease -Diabetics who smoke are 20 times more likely to experience tooth loss -Gum disease can disrupt blood sugar control These are just some of the reasons why it is important to keep bacterial levels low. Not only do these microbes cause infection, they also release toxins into the body which are thought to contribute to these systemic diseases. Strive to make your mouth inhospitable to bacteria by eating healthy, brushing and flossing and seeking professional cleanings.

Devlin, who graduated from Seattle University’s master of nursing program in August, specialized in family practice and says she appreciates the diversity of the field and the wide range of ages, health conditions and life transitions it includes. “I like everything, but I have a special place in my heart for pediatrics,” she said, adding that following patients over time is important to her. “I enjoy working with people through the whole lifespan and the heath issues they encounter.” While many medical graduates are not interested in working in rural areas, Devlin, who is a West Seattle native, said she does not consider Vashon all that rural and that she appreciates the traditional, personal feel of the clinic, where patients and staff know one another. “It’s really wonderful that these clinics still exist,” she said. Part of Seattle University’s mission is to serve the vulnerable and underserved, she added, saying that it feels good to be serving where she knows she is needed. While this is her first job after graduation, she said she feels comfortable at the clinic and well supported by fellow nurse practitioner Julie McPhearson and owner and physician Gail Fulton. Outside of work, Devlin said she is a soccer player and is looking to join a team; she is engaged to be married and after completing school is appreciating this transition time. “I am enjoying breathing room and working and seeing what it was all for,” she said.

An open letter to the community of Vashon‌ We are very thankful to all who have helped us following the death of our son Ramon “Rjâ€? Valles Ontiveros. The black hole of grief is only exceeded by the love we have and will continue to have for him. The loss of anyone by suicide is devastating beyond comprehension. As parents we will always have the “should of‌would of‌could of‌â€? for the rest of our lives even though everyone councils us to let go of those thoughts. We will never know what the internal dialog was that led to his choice to end his life. So we begin to look at the external factors that may have contributed to his decision‌not to lay blame‌but to understand and possibly change. When you consider the demographics of the population of this island the number of suicides of young vibrant adults related to this island exceeds the number for all of King County. That is a problem. In order to facilitate change, we as a community first need to admit that there is a problem. Our values are inverted. We fund programs for the arts and animals donating time, resources and money‌all important in their contribution to our community as a whole‌yet we ignore the needs of the Millennials living here with us. Do we know what they need – not yet, but we are in the process of finding out. They are a unique group with a difference set of values, priorities and perspectives on life. Millennials are the most educated and culturally diverse generation in the global community today. They tend to be zig-zaggers, hopping from job to job and distrusting bureaucracy. Millennials crave opportunities with meaning where they can feel part of the mission and often value helping those in need more than a fat paycheck. They were educated with a focus on community service, value learning and out-of-the-box thinking. They are a tribe unto themselves and they thrive in communal interaction. Here is what we do know. We have no “centerâ€? for them here on the island. They find ways to have the communal experience – sometimes in places that are not so safe. They are interested in cross generational interaction but have not found the path for that interaction. What does exist are compartmentalized efforts to support these young adults often at a cost that is not affordable to them. These efforts come from a variety of sources; the community, individuals, religious and social organizations. At our first meeting for 5M¡V .LGV we asked a series of questions to better understand the need of the community and how we can build an organization that is inclusive of all ages, supported by donations from the community and provides opportunities for personal growth at no-charge. Topics that were shared by young and old alike included; xEducational classes pertaining to all different professions. xCommunity job boards. xVolunteer and intern opportunities within community businesses and organizations. xPhysical, mental health and nutrition classes. xCommunity events engaging all generations in a group activity.
We are at the beginning with the ultimate goal to build “Rj’s House� as a community center. We will start by renting existing community spaces to hold classes run by volunteers; or to provide individual scholarships for existing community classes. If you are an adult with expertise in fitness, nutrition, martial arts, dance, music, mental health/ fitness training, drama, nature, etc. and are willing to donate your time or work for a reduced rate please contact us through email (Rjs.kids.inc@gmail.com), or our website (www.rjs-kids.org), or through our Facebook page (Rj’s Kids.org). You can also write to us at Rj’s Kids, PO Box13007 Burton, WA 98013. Two additional community meetings are scheduled for December 4th and the 18th. 7pm to 9pm at the Ober Park Performance Room. All are welcome to contribute. Thank you and we appreciate your understanding, patience and community support as we walk this new path.

In times of grief and loss, comfort can be No bus cuts, but region-wide found in community and faith EDITORIAL
transportation is slipping It’s welcome news that King County was able to avoid further cuts to Metro, saving Vashon some modest cuts to its already limited bus service. But our entire region still faces a transportation problem that will only worsen as lawmakers continue to put off finding new funding for buses, roads and ferries. Recent US Census results show that Seattle is the fastest growing big city in the country. Some credit the area’s now healthy economy with drawing more people. But our region’s transportation systems aren’t benefitting from that healthy economy, even as there are more people to transport. Sales tax revenue, which Our region’s transportation helps fund Metro buses, systems aren’t benefitting is just now rebounding to from the healthy economy, pre-recession levels. And the state transportation even as there are more budget, which funds highpeople to transport. ways and ferries, hasn’t recovered from the loss of the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax. Cuts to ferry routes on Vashon and beyond become more inevitable each year. At the county level, there’s still a plan to let lesser-used roads begin to crumble, for lack of funds to repair them. Roads, buses and ferries are essential to our growing region, and reliable ferry service is especially vital to Vashon. In Seattle, as traffic worsens, we need bus service that expands to meet demand if we hope to prevent total gridlock. According to King County Metro, 15 percent more bus service is already needed to meet the current need, and ridership is only growing. Something has to be done. Metro set a good example when, after the failure of a proposition that would have provided extra funding to busses, the agency tightened its belt even more. However, it still had to implement one round of cuts, when 28 routes countywide were eliminated this fall. It’s possible other transportation providers, when pushed, can find further cost savings than they already have. But like Metro, only new dedicated funding will dig them out of the hole and allow them to grow where needed. Transportation funding has been nearly impossible to find in Olympia, where new taxes require a two-thirds vote of the Legislature. Sen. Sharon Nelson (D-Maury Island) told The Beachcomber that transit needs could take a back seat to education next year as the McCleary Decision and the recent passage of the class size measure, Initiative 1351, force lawmakers to address funding for schools. Agencies should tighten their belts as Metro did, but lawmakers and voters should also be prepared for taxpayers to support the roads, buses and ferries so badly needed by our region.
As an island community, we have had more than our share of death. We’ve witnessed in the past few years the suicides, as well as the accidental deaths, of many of our precious young people, and these deaths have exposed our frailty and our grief. Yet these deaths do not reveal our finiteness, but have revealed our infiniteness, our eternity. In the face of a lot of adversity and extreme loss, we islanders are still a people who care about each other and who are there for those who are suffering pain and loss. This island is a very special place because when one family experiences loss, we all feel that loss. In some ways that is something to be thankful for, for even in their loss, those who are struggling with pain and grief are not alone. In the good and the bad, we islanders stand together. And in all the sickness, sorrow, loss, illness and suffering we experience, all this sorrow is not inflicted upon us by a wrathful god, but allowed by a loving God for purification and transformation. Through our suffering, God completes our creation and

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Food safety
Fee increases could mean less local food offered Recently, government programs are being expected to pay for themselves. Ferries should be supported by users, buses by riders, parks by visitors. “Selfsupporting” programs don’t cost taxpayers money, and that’s good, right? The Environmental Health Services, in their Food Protection Program, is such a “cost recovery program.” Their fees must cover their expenses. Therefore, they are making their food sales permits more and more expensive (“Proposed county fee hikes raise concern at the farmers market,” Nov. 19).
Certainly protecting food safety is for the public good. We expect the government to guarantee that safety. The more new hazards turn up and are understood, the more education and oversight food providers need. Naturally, increasing education and inspections take a larger staff. Under theories of “cost recovery,” those benefitting are expected to pay for the larger staff. Are the market vendors the ones benefitting? I suppose they are being saved from potential lawsuits due to food poisoning. We haven’t had any large illnesses so far. Is that due to the county rules and education, the vendors’ earnest good will or county inspections? Hard to say, but I’m not convinced that increased oversight and fees are the reasons. In any case, the people really benefitting from the food safety

program are the public, not the vendors. The county is working with food vendors to protect the public from food-borne illnesses. Since the public is benefitting, shouldn’t the public pay? That is, shouldn’t the taxpayers pay? The vendors are already paying for increasing expenses to upgrade their food preparation areas. Why should they also pay for the inspections of those improvements and then pay again for the right to sell food from their facilities? I fear that if these proposed fees get implemented, the result will be less prepared food available from local, small vendors. It won’t be better food, just less local food. — Lotus LETTERS CONTINUE, NEXT PAGE

Health care
Reimbursement rates are the real problem Although I applaud the work of the Vashon Maury Health Collaborative (“Group seeks innovative solution to local health care challenges,” Nov. 19), the real concern facing delivery of medical care on Vashon is low and inadequate reimbursement from insurance and Medicare. The loss of physicians who are able to accept Medicare is the true problem for Vashon’s largest demographic and one that is likely to continue. We actually have the same number of family physicians practicing on Vashon now as we did in 2005. More physicians in the U.S. are opting out of Medicare or are limiting the number of Medicare patients that they see. In 2013 only 81 percent of family doctors across the nation accepted new Medicare patients, and fewer will choose to do so in the future. This is despite the growing group of retirees, which includes my own parents who live on Vashon. The true obstacle to providing care here is the same facing the rest of the nation. If you want to support the physicians who provide services on Vashon, don’t offer to do our billing or order medical supplies. Fight for adequate insurance and Medicare reimbursement. — Kelly Wright, ND

Holiday gingerbread houses bring out the dark side I don’t have a good feeling about these gingerbread houses. Last week at the grocery store our youngest daughter asked carefully and politely if we could buy a gingerbread house kit. Technically, she asked three times — once in produce, again in dairy and again at the checkout stand, where she questioned whether I’d really said yes or not. I repeated it: I will bar no attempt to procure a gingerbread house at an indeterminate point in the future. In other words, we’ll see. That night, seated together at the otherwise deserted dinner table, she fiddled with the frayed tassels of her reindeermaiden Lapland beanie, while I absently thumbed through a Wikipedia article about the scourge of the Vikings. She smiled faintly and announced raffishly that she had some great ideas for decorating the girls’ gingerbread house. Uh-huh, I said mechanically, engrossed in an account of Cnut the Bloodthirsty. Hey, wait a minute, I said. Nobody mentioned anything about separate girls’ and boys’ gingerbread houses. Her older sister joined us, standing behind her sister’s chair. She said that Mom told them today that they could have separate girls’ and boys’ gingerbread houses if they weren’t too expensive. Our youngest girl continued cheerfully. Gretel,
FAMILY LIFE By KEVIN POTTINGER one of her classmates, bit off the head of one of her gingerbread men and painted the resulting stump bloody red. Both sisters cackled. Fear gripped me. This gingerbread house thing was going to be just like the pumpkin carving party last month. Intergender rivalry. Butcher knives jabbed into pumpkins with stringy pumpkin guts spewing from the wounds. Competitive gourd-based potty humor. Vulgar candle-lit pumpkins leering at us in the dark. And after escalating disagreements culminating in the tormented howls of the vanquished and subsequent heart-rending appeals to Mom or possibly Dad, each kid will surely end up decorating their own gingerbread house. We’ll blow 150 bucks. And they’ll all have fake poo on their houses. Or fake blood. Or fake barf, which might be made with buttercream frosting and bits of dry toast. No way, I said, hoping to sound emphatic. We have invited house guests for Thanksgiving. And at least one of you is going

to put a giant fake poo on your house. I’m sure of it. They protested their innocence, before bursting into frank guffaws. Our oldest daughter said it might be really cool to have blood all over the yard and a severed gingerbread head tossed into a stand of plastic sushi grass. They cackled again. Our oldest boy, drawn like a shark by the references to poo, blood and severed heads, stood next to his sisters while I repeated my concerns, concluding with the prediction that each decorated house will surely feature poo, quite prominently displayed, possibly made from Tootsie Rolls, using frosting to attach them. Our oldest boy eagerly broke into a description of some sort of apocalyptic gingerbread scene, constructed of Tootsie Rolls and Red Vines, somehow wound around each other. He made a spinning
motion as if reeling in a whopper to illustrate. “Atomic bomb” would be written on the side. I had no idea what he was talking about. But I appreciated his apparent clarity of vision. My wife Maria passed by, struggling with an armload of laundry. I addressed her wake as she lurched into the laundry room, asking if it was true that she had promised the girls that they could have separate girls’ and boys’ gingerbread houses. Her voice echoed from the laundry room. She frankly admitted giving conditional approval for separate gender-assigned gingerbread houses and suggested that if I wanted to help with the laundry, she’d be happy to discuss it further. Several days passed without mention of gingerbread houses. On Saturday morning, we loaded up the minivan with kids and a 2-inch
thick wad of coupons for an early-season shopping safari. Gingerbread houses were seemingly forgotten. Late afternoon, Maria and I made a breathless rendezvous at the vehicle after three hours of exposure to a fully engulfed holiday shopping mall. She reported that the bed and bath store had cases of Canadian gingerbread house kits stacked on an endcap, 10 bucks a piece, a Super-Savvy-Saver PreThanksgiving Sale, limit 12 per customer, some restrictions apply. Maria had a coupon for an additional 20 percent off. We could outfit the neighborhood, I muttered. If nothing else, we’ll dish up their gingerbread outhouses for dessert at the kids’ table this Thanksgiving. With a nice cup of tea. — Kevin Pottinger and his family live on Vashon.

SCENE & HEARD: JUST HANGING AROUND Islander Martin Halliwell noticed this group of raccoons — technically called a “gaze” — in a tree about a half mile north of the Tahlequah ferry earlier this month. “They were just hanging out on the limbs, with a couple more of them higher up and out of the camera view,” he said of his discovery. “I have never seen them just literally hanging over the branches. They seemed to be resting.” Raccoons, who are nocturnal and often sleep in their dens during the day, can also be found resting on tree branches in well-wooded habitats, as was the case here.

Holiday toy drive kicks off with new sponsor Donations will be accepted until Dec. 20 By SUSAN RIEMER For The Beachcomber
For years, Vashon’s Kiwanis club held a toy drive each Christmas, but with the local chapter closed, John L. Scott is sponsoring this year’s drive. The real estate company has already collected some items, but islanders will have several opportunities to donate cash and new, unwrapped toys and clothes this holiday season. Collection bins will be set out at a variety of island businesses on Friday, and when Santa comes to town on Saturday evening for the parade and tree lighting, the John L. Scott truck will be near the main intersection in town, with employees collecting more gifts. Joyce Smith, one of the longtime organizers of the drive, said she is hoping islanders will donate generously again this year. “My goal is to have a pair of pajamas for every child and toys or games and something for older children,
even if it is gift cards. They are great for older children,” she said. The drive is intended for children from infancy through age 18, and Smith said she will appreciate all donations, but she highlighted the need for gifts for older kids and teens. “We just never seem to have anything for them. It is hard for the high schoolers and junior high students, too,” Smith said. New this year is that Smith and fellow organizer Jan Lyell are asking for donations of coats, hats, scarves, gloves, pajamas and slippers, instead of a general request for clothes. Donations will be accepted until 20, and the toy drive “store” will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 20, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 21, in the former home of the Vashon Bike Shop near the Vashon Post Office. On those days, people in need are invited to come pick out gifts for their children. The number of gifts allowed will be determined by how much is donated. The drive is starting out with some money in the bank, including $1,000 from Ken Zaglin, who owns John L. Scott. Typically, he said, he buys the
agents who work for him a gift at Christmas, but this year his employees asked him to donate to the drive instead. Additionally, when Kiwanis closed, it gave $7,000 to the drive, but Smith said she wants those funds to last for as long as possible. A challenge this year is that Skanska, the construction firm that built the high school, will not be donating now that their work on the island is finished. They donated generously in the past, and Smith said she is hoping another large donor will step up. Smith, who said she has never forgotten the help she received one year at Christmas to provide gifts for her six children, has organized the toy drive for the past eight years. “I love kids and seeing them happy at Christmas morning. I think every child should be able to get up on Christmas morning and have something,” she said. To donate money to the drive, send a check made out to VYFS to John L. Scott, P.O. Box 2009, Vashon, Washington, 98070.

Located in the center of town with plenty of on-site parking, The Kitchen Larder is the most economical rental space available for those artisans who need a space to spread their word.
The island will host three free Thanksgiving dinners for anyone in the community who would like to gather with others to share the holiday. The first of the dinners will be Wednesday evening and the other two on Thanksgiving day. Volunteers at the free Wednesday night dinners will serve a Thanksgiving meal the evening before the holiday. Dinner will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the lower level of the Church of the Holy Spirit. On Thanksgiving day, a dinner at the Vashon Eagles will begin at about 3:30 p.m. at the club house. Side dishes and donations of money to offset the cost of the meal are welcome but not necessary. The event takes place every year and draws between 60 and 80 people, according to the Eagles. The Interfaith Council to Prevent Homelessness will also host a dinner that day, with music, games and food. Sooze Bloom deLeon Grossman and Benjamin Grossman, volunteers with the free community meals program, will host the event and do the cooking. Harmon Arroyo, the community meals
coordinator, has high praise for their culinary skills. “They never do anything halfway, these folks,” he said. The dinner will include turkey, ham stuffed kabocha squash. a wide variety of side dishes and dessert. Doors to the Presbyterian Church will be open from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. for music, board games and visiting, and dinner will be served from 5 to 6:30 p.m. The dinners are open to all people — those who do not have the means to make their own dinners to those who would simply like to gather with others for the holiday. — Susan Riemer

Pirate football players who were the recipients of the team’s annual trophy awards are, from left: Nate Lawson, Ronnie Krieger, Bryce Hoisington, Jason Kruly and Chester Pruett. With participation dwindling and some difficult seasons behind them, there are plans in place to help revitalize Pirate football next year.
Football season ends with awards By CHERYL PRUETT For The Beachcomber
The Pirate football team closed out its 2014 season with its annual awards banquet last Friday. Several players were recognized by the Nisqually League coaches for their achievements over the season. Taking top honors for the Pirates was sophomore Bryce Hoisington, who received first-team honors as a running back. He garnered more than 1,000 offensive yards over the season. He also received a nod on the defensive side, getting a second-team award as a linebacker. Senior Nate Lawson was awarded second-team running back. Jason Kruly was voted to second-team offensive guard and second-team defensive line. Junior Chester Pruett received awards for second-team defensive back as well as second-team punter. Junior Ronnie Krieger received dual honorable mentions from the league for both offensive and defensive line play.
The team also honors its own every year, with the players voting for the recipients of the following awards: Scout Team Offensive Player: Cody Whitman. Scout Team Defensive Player: Adon Ellis. Special Teams Player of the Year: Arthur Moore. Most Improved: Logan Nelson. Lineman of the Year: Jason Kruly, and Skill Player of the Year: Chester Pruett. Five annual awards are also voted on by the players and coaches. The Mike Newell Defensive Player of the Year award went to Jason Kruly. The Bud Snaza Offensive Player of the Year is Bryce Hoisington. The Dave Mace One Hundred Percent Plus Award went to Ronnie Krieger. The Robert Bennedsen Memorial Team Captain Award went to Nate Laswon and the Bill Burby Celebration of Life Coaches Award was given to Chester Pruett. — Cheryl Pruett is the mother of two Pirate football players.

Chautauqua Elementary School’s Turkey Trot takes place every fall, when fourth- and fifthgrade students run about three-quarters of a mile, following high school “turkeys.” This year about 200 kids were involved in the physical education event, which also honored Ryan Krug, who was a racer as a child and a “turkey” in high school. He died in a tragic car accident nearly two years ago. This year’s turkeys were cross country runners, left to right: Isaac Hughes, Langston Dziko, Aria Mildon, Selena Mildon and Jane Oswald.

PILINGS CONTINUED FROM 1
Creosote has been used for more than 100 years to preserve wood for use in saltwater. Though DNR no longer permits its use, creosote-coated docks, bulkheads and pilings can be found throughout Puget Sound. Creosote does its job well, Black explained, but over time it also breaks apart and leaches into the water, releasing what she called a cocktail of over 300 chemicals. The chemicals of most concern are called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and are toxic for certain marine species, including many forage fish, which are considered vital part of the food chain. For instance, herring eggs exposed to creosote have up to a 95 percent mortality rate, and PAHs can alter the reproductive systems and cause disease in English sole. “It just gets into the food chain,” Black said. Creosote also contains carcinogens, and creosotetreated wood that washes ashore is considered to be a risk to humans. “They’ll eventually break apart and end up on the beach,” Black said. “Kids build forts with them and
people make bonfires.” DNR began removing abandoned and unused creosote pilings and other debris from beaches in 2003. In 2007, the effort got a boost when thenGovernor Chris Gregoire launched a campaign to clean up and restore Puget Sound by 2020. New legislation funneled millions to restoration work, with creosote removal as a high priority. Since then, DNR has removed nearly 13,000 pilings in Puget Sound, along with more than 2,800 tons of creosote debris from beaches. Current funding for the program comes from a $1 million allocation by the state for two years of piling removal projects, money that DNR generates by leasing state-owned land. The Vashon project will cost an estimated $162,000, including the cost to haul the pilings to a landfill. In all, 170 pilings will be removed from seven locations around Vashon and Maury, with 50 coming out of Quartermaster Harbor, a state aquatic reserve. Black said that while creosote removal is generally considered a good thing, the state-hired barges are not a welcome sight for everyone. Some feel that pilings have historical significance or like seeing

them in the water. Others regret the lost habitat for sea animals and birds, and some pilings are popular destinations for scuba diving. On Vashon, a Gold Beach resident objected to the removal of pilings outside his home, hoping they could be used in a future dock. But a family in the Shawnee area called to ask the state to remove some pilings that were falling apart in a place they liked to swim. “They’re just going to fall over. We’ve seen that everywhere,” Black said, adding that the state only removes pilings that are abandoned and unmaintained. All pilings taken out are either on state-owned land or the state has permission from the landowner — be it King County or a private homeowner — to remove them. Some who spend time on the beach say the removal of these old pilings can bring mixed feelings. “One of the first places we often go to find sea life is the tide pools formed on top of broken pilings,” said Jeff Adams, a marine water quality specialist with Washington Sea Grant who is also involved in the Vashon Beach Naturalists program. One of the beach naturalists’ favorite places to observe sea life is at

the north-end ferry dock, where starfish, barnacles, crabs and other animals cling to dozens of creosotecoated pilings. “If you build a hard habitat in a marine system, things will come to it, but that doesn’t make it natural,” Adams said. He said that in the long run it’s still more valuable to get creosote, as well as manmade structures, out of the water. “From my perspective, I’d much rather see organisms on those habitats where they belong and where they’d be without artificial structures.” King County has also made creosote removal a priority, and a recent restoration project in Dockton included removing about 100 derelict pilings near the marina there. Greg Rabourn, who managed the project as Vashon’s basin steward, worked with the local Audubon club to relocate purple martin nesting boxes that had been atop some of those pilings. “We talked to quite a few
Page 19
people, and there wasn’t a lot of importance placed on those particular pilings,” Rabourn said. “We heard from folks interested in trying to keep things the way they are. … We also heard from a lot of people who really think this is great. It’s good progress.” At Camp Sealth, director Rick Taylor said the staff there have been hoping to see the old pilings removed for years. Several years ago the camp tore out a long creosote-treated bulkhead that was on camp property, and it has gradually been replacing the creosote pilings on one of its docks with new steel ones. Camp Sealth also works with DNR to study forage fish on its shore and do water sampling. It has asked for some time that the old pilings, which are on stateowned land, be added to the list for removal. “Environmental stewardship is what we teach to kids and other people who come here,” Taylor said. “This is just another piece.”

An Update on Vashon Center for the Arts Dear Vashon Community, Thank you for braving the downpour to attend the Vashon Center for the Arts groundbreaking ceremony last month. I’m sure you also noticed that it kept on "down-pouring" for the next couple of weeks. Winter rains came early and hard this year, presenting an unexpected construction challenge. Our project manager has recommended that we delay the dirt work and demolition a few months due to the large costs associated with the saturated soils. In addition, a couple of days after the groundbreaking, we were informed the construction costs had inflated more than our general contractor and project manager had anticipated. The inflation is due to a robust building boom in the northwest, and as a result there are fewer subcontractors available to bid on our project. Unfortunate timing. So what are we going to do? Our general contractor and project manager are continuing to negotiate bids to keep within our budget. This will be a back and forth process and we appreciate your patience as we overcome these challenges. It's disappointing because this means the new theater won’t be open in time for next year’s holiday concert. Instead, we are shifting our plans and looking forward to an opening celebration the following spring. It’s frustrating, but a few months delay now, after our six-year-long adventure, will really make a difference. Vashon's love affair with the arts only continues to grow, and every week seems to present an exciting new way in which this Island facility can be used. It’s that excitement which motivates all of us to continue to work diligently to complete this much-anticipated facility. We want to thank all Vashon Islanders again for your support. We’ll all just need to wait a little bit longer to cut the ribbon. Thank you, Tim Roden, Board President, Vashon Allied Arts

FLORAL SHOP CONTINUED FROM 1
“My favorite part is ideation,” he said. “In planning an event, I like to figure out how to make a portable feast table or a unique tablescape. With strategic planning, I like to imagine where we want to be in three to five years. I love that part, the creativity, pulling it all together and having a great team.” With over 150 employees, Duft has a sizeable team. His most recent employee, and the person responsible for running the show at Herban Bloom, is Melody Williams, someone Duft has worked with for a dozen years. Duft met Williams when she managed the floral department at the Morgan Street Thriftway in West Seattle. Duft would arrive with a slew of vases to fill and his client’s budget, and Williams would put it all together. “She is super creative and has an eye for unusual detail,” Duft said. So when Blooms & Things, the floral shop in the heart of Vashon town, came up for sale last May, Duft tapped Williams for the job of floral designer and retail manager of his new shop, Herban Bloom. It was a perfect fit. Williams and her husband had moved to the island seven months earlier, and the freshness of commuting by boat to West Seattle was wilting fast for Williams. “The novelty of the ferry wore off, but I love Vashon, its quirkiness and individuality,” she said. “There is something so creative about the island.” Williams brings to her new job over 30 years of floral arranging for upscale weddings, as well as places like Gumps and Nordstrom, and 12 years of retail experience at the West Seattle Thriftway.

“It’s all part of the ethos of the company,” Duft said. “The average person wouldn’t know if they were eating a tomato from Hogsback or Sun Island Farm instead of Eastern Washington, but we know.” As for Herban Bloom, Duft and Williams will offer a full-service floral shop, as well as workshops in floral design, wreath making and growing herbs. They expect to bring islanders into the mix to lead candleand soap-making classes. Islander Tom Conway will teach classes about bulbs and bulb plantings when he is not tweaking social media and planning marketing for the new shop. Conway has also been working on the interior design of Herban Bloom, choosing wall colors, the sconces, even the big chandelier. On Friday, Herban Bloom will roll up its front door, display fresh flowers in festive buckets and welcome shoppers with an array of treats, hot cider and sparkling cranberry punch. Duft and Williams say they are excited to launch their new venture on Vashon, but they aren’t taking anything about the island for granted. “I like to be in awe of things,” Duft remarked. “We shouldn’t lose that — like taking a ferry back to the island when there’s a spectacular sunset or watching the orcas. I’m in awe of that. It’s why I moved here.” Herban Bloom will hold a grand opening event on Friday and will be open seven days a week after that.

VAA CONTINUED FROM 1
VAA held a well-attended groundbreaking ceremony for the building late last month, just as its general contractor, Seattle-based Sellen Construction, was bidding out the project. Shortly after the groundbreaking, Reed said, VAA learned that Sellen did not receive as many bids from subcontractors as anticipated and that many of the bids it did receive were higher than expected. Those involved with the project attribute the issue to the current building boom in Seattle. As the region recovers from the recession and grows, many construction projects are happening. As a result, there is a shortage of construction workers, and contractors can demand higher prices and pick and choose what jobs they take on. “Had we had the money two years ago, it would have been prime time to be able
to build,� said Tim Roden, the president of VAA’s board. “When you factor in the building boom in the Northwest and specifically the Seattle region, and the fact that you’re building an arts center on an island that you can only get to by ferry, those two things have an impact.� While Sellen expected to see three to five subcontractors bid on each part of the project, many items saw only one or two bids. VAA had added $800,0000 to its budget for the building in the last two years to account for inflation and the construction climate, bringing the total to $17.7 million. But Reed said that turned out to not be enough. “It was so unexpected, and we thought we had done everything right and budgeted for cost escalation, so it was a very unpleasant surprise when it came back higher,� she said. Kirk Robinson, the project manager, noted that Seattle is the fastest growing city in the nation right now and said Sellen could not have predicted it would struggle to get lower bids.

“If we could predict it, we would have,� he said. While the setback will prevent VAA from opening the new building in time for next year’s holiday concert season as planned, VAA officials say they remain positive. Over the next few months, VAA and Sellen will work with subcontractors to find ways to lower costs, and they may re-bid some parts of the project as well. There will be no significant changes to the building plans, they say, but details such as carpets and railings could be replaced with more affordable alternatives. For instance, Roden said, perhaps a less expensive heating and cooling system could be installed. “But that quality level for us laypeople, we wouldn’t notice any difference,� Roden said. “At this point we’ll look at everything that will not impact our permitting process or the functionality of the building and what we have planned for the theater,� he said.

get and do additional fundraising to cover added costs, though officials say it is too soon to say how much will be needed. When VAA held its groundbreaking ceremony last month, it had less than $1 million left to fundraise. Roden said the organization will continue to seek private donations and grants. The project has wide support, he added, so he expects they won’t struggle to bring in any extra funds. “We don’t know what the bottom line is yet,� he said, “but Molly and the campaign committee haven’t stopped.� Breaking ground in the spring will also come with advantagea. It’s easier to do groundwork in drier weather, Robinson said, and some subcontractors may be more likely to bid on a project that begins in the spring rather than at the start of the rainy season. The project is still expected to take about a year, so VAA is looking to complete the building in spring of 2016. “We’re moving from a holiday extravaganza to a spring opening,� Roden said.

Dr. Sterling A. Hill Dr. Sterling A. Hill passed away at his home in Kent, Washington on November 19, 2014 surrounded by his family. Dr. Hill moved his family from West Seattle to Vashon Island in 1971. Sterling was very active in many community projects such as helping to establish the Vashon Chamber of Commerce, Vashon Island Scottish pipe band, he worked closely with Betty Edwards for years playing Santa Claus, and while serving as Bishop for the LDS Branch, was instrumental in building the chapel. He was active in Drama Dock and played many roles over the years. He had an active Chiropractic practice in South Seattle and maintained a home practice for his patients on the Island. Many will remember being entertained by his singing during their daily commute. He will always be remembered as a person who loved and lived life to its fullest. MARCH 27, 1931
••
He was preceded in death by his son Matthew Hill. He is survived by his wife of 57 years Beverley, his three remaining children, Kimberley J. Nielsen, Christopher S. Hill, Heather R. Sanders, and their spouses, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption Pudge was the tiniest of kittens who turned out to be a very big beautiful boy. Pudge is an independent kind of guy who loves attention and a lap but on his terms. Pudge is afraid of dogs and small kids so he would do best in a home with adults who can give him his space alone when he needs it. He came to VIPP on 3/29/14.
This Westie lad named Riley is a sweet, playful 8 year old male. He is very affectionate, loves to cuddle and loves riding in the car. True to his breed, he is alert, friendly, curious, and insanely cute with dark piercing eyes. He loves people; is good with kids, cats and other dogs. Bonus: his breed is considered hypo-allergenic. Some special considerations: Riley is hard of hearing. His medical issues are infections in his ears and he came to us with a skin condition. Call Katrin 463-5554 for more information
Dear VIPP, Vito, our charismatic cat, was so named after the “Godfather� by VIPP staff before I adopted him in 2010. One day, I was dampening my hair from a water glass set on the tank of my commode. Vito jumped up on the seat and daintily, using his right paw only, dipped into the water and licked his paw dry. This was repeated ‘til nearly all the water was gone! I have never seen him lap water since. I think he may have learned this technique for getting water in his early years as a stray - catching a fresh drink from an old can or a cup that had been abandoned somewhere. At any rate, he now meows loudly if I allow “his� glass to run dry (despite his full water bowl in the laundry room). Is this a special cat or what? He makes me laugh!
