A BOWL OF FUN
Volunteers plan to count homeless, survey youth By SARAH LOW Staff Writer
pay for upgrades to its athletic facilities in 2009, when a $75.5 million bond for a farreaching rebuild of the high school building and athletic facilities failed at the polls. In 2011, a $3.5 million measure that would have replaced just the track and field also failed, while voters narrowly passed an accompanying $47.7 million bond for the new high school building. The track and field portion garnered 56 percent of the vote, but fell short of the 60 percent supermajority required to pass. Soltman said that while the measure failed, school officials, students and even
This week Vashon will take part in two annual events to count its homeless, part of a broader effort to document the extent of homelessness in King County and obtain funding for resources. “Vashon has never been a part of this before,” said Chris Szala, executive director of Vashon Household. “It’s so important for advocacy efforts and obtaining grants so that we can do more for the people here who need housing.” On Thursday, the Vashon Library will be a survey point for Count Us In, King County’s annual count of homeless and unstably housed youth ages 12 to 25. And overnight from Thursday to Friday, a group of volunteers from the Vashon Social Services Network will work to make an accurate accounting of Vashon’s homeless as part of the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness’ (SKCCH) One Night Count. The SKCCH, a coming together of city staff, advocates, shelters and people who were once homeless, began the One Night Count in 1980 to gather data to inform and advocate for policies and programs to address the growing crisis of homelessness. Over the years, the count has expanded to include more than a dozen urban neighborhoods in the Seattle area from Woodinville to Federal Way, and it is the largest community-organized count of its kind in the U.S. To perform the count, homeless shelter and transitional housing providers will be surveyed, and over 1,000 volunteers will do a street count of people living outside or in vehicles. The street count is done overnight as people are less likely to be moving around and therefore less likely to be counted twice. Rebecca Roy, a spokeswoman for the

Schools to weigh options for 2016 bond measure By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
Vashon’s school district will take a hard look at its aging athletic facilities this winter with an eye toward asking voters to fund upgrades in about a year. The Vashon Island School District recently began planning for a bond or levy package that will likely go on the ballot in February of 2016 and could include a combination of upgrades to Vashon High School’s track,
field and gym, a replacement of the roof on McMurray Middle School or other improvements to the district’s campus. Integrus Architecture, the company that designed the new high school building, has been hired by the district to carry out a detailed assessment of the remaining campus needs — which the district has dubbed Phase 2 — and create a master plan, estimating the costs of various capital projects. “Phase 2 planning is going to be a complete look at what remains to be done for the entire campus,” said Superintendent Michael Soltman, “and the board is going to have to select priority projects out of the plan.” The school district first asked voters to

Strains of Willie Nelson’s “Blue Skies” filled the air last week as skaters spent the late afternoon hours at the new skate bowl at the Burton Adventure Recreation Center (BARC). Skaters began trying out the bowl last month, although the project — on time and on budget — is not expected to be fully complete until tomorrow. Grindline Skateparks of West Seattle built the bowl, which so far is getting rave reviews. Frankie Kennedy, 24, pictured at right in the bowl, impressed younger skaters last week with his speed and skill. He has come over from Tacoma a few times to skate there. “It’s a really nice bowl made by people who know how to skate,” he said. Jenni Wilke, a longtime member of the BARC Stewards, which supports the park and has worked toward this project for several years, said the bowl is a great addition. “The completion of this project has brought so much positive energy,” she said. “There are lots of new kids down there trying stuff out.” In addition to Kennedy, several other off-island skaters have come over, according to Elaine Ott, the director of the Vashon Park District, which oversaw the project. Wilke says they benefit the park — and the kids. “It brings another level of energy and exposure to skating styles and ups the skill level,” she said. Evan Kruse, 8, with his board in the upper right, also took several turns last week. “It’s fun,” he said. “And it’s a little scary.” A small celebration for the bowl will be held at 1 p.m. this Sunday with a full dedication to be held this summer.
New track, field and gym could be top priorities

Park district approves budget, will vote again on adjusting user fees By SUSAN RIEMER For The Beachcomber
The Vashon Park District commissioners passed the district’s 2015 budget at their meeting last week and are expected to vote next week on the upcoming levy and on proposed changes to user fees for park and school facilities. Prior to voting on the $1.1 million spending plan, which the board had finalized last month, commissioner Scott Harvey submitted a new proposal to change user fees, asking to suspend the rules and vote that evening, as changes would affect the budget. The board declined to do so and passed the budget 3-1-1, with Doug Ostrom abstaining and Scott Harvey voting no. The user fee proposal the board is slated to vote on next week is similar to the proposal Harvey submitted in December and contains proposed fee increases for using the island’s athletic fields as well as school gyms, classrooms and meeting rooms. It also calls for decreases in fees for using Paradise Ridge, Ober Park and the Vashon Pool. Doug
Denise Katz
Ostrom suggested dropping two elements that would have reduced fees at the pool, saying they were causing too much contention, but his motion was not seconded. Mark Nassutti, one of the members of the Friends of the Vashon Pool to attend the meeting, said he and others in the group know of no one who finds the current fees unreasonable and that they would prefer that district funds go to support a yearround pool season, a long-standing community desire. “That is where we would like your support,� he told the board. Harvey’s proposal has its roots in an ad hoc finance committee report the board passed and sent to the state auditor in July, indicating part of its plan to restore its financial footing would be to increase fees. This plan, however, would reduce revenue by about $5,500, a move Harvey said the district can afford. In recent months, Harvey has said he believes some fees must increase and some must decrease, creating more parity between

“My position is I do not want to change fees,� she said. “I have not proposed fee changes because I do not feel they are necessary.� She noted that wholesale changes would require considerable administrative work, including changing the district’s forms, website and database. Additionally, she said, if she were to propose changes, there would be specific reasons for doing so. However, she added, board members have the right to raise the conversation, and Harvey is trying to address the issue of fairness in a broad manner. “I don’t fault him for his efforts in that context,� she said. In other business, commissioners agreed to put a four-year levy before voters this year to replace the district’s expiring levy. The levy will be at the same rate — 50 cents per $1,000 — with the election to be April 28. Next week’s vote will make that official. The park board will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Ober Park.
user groups regarding how much they pay the district compared to related district expenses. So far, Harvey’s efforts have received support from Ostrom, but other board members have been critical. At the last meeting in a sometimes heated exchange, Joe Wald, who was elected chair, and Bill Ameling, who was part of the subcommittee that called for increasing fees, strongly criticized the proposal. “To me it is political bullshit to punish the users,� Ameling said, referring primarily to those who use the sports fields. Later he indicated he will propose to have the director set fees. “The board should not manage fees,� he said. “It is her budget to balance.� After the meeting, Elaine Ott, the district’s director, said the responsibility to set fees has been hers all along, and changes she might request are to be recommended during the budget process. She added that the current fee structure is working smoothly.

Struggling financially, women’s health center drops insurance By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
At a time when the island is facing challenges regarding health care, the Vashon Women’s Health Center is undergoing a large change and becoming a cash-only practice. As of Feb. 1, the clinic, which provides care to about 1,300 women and teens, will stop taking insurance and instead provide care on a fee-for-service basis. Owner Kimberly Valencia (formerly Scheer) said it is a decision she has thought about carefully and one she hopes will make her struggling business sustainable and enable her to continue practicing on the island. “I’ve known something needed to happen for six months or more,” she said recently. “I’ve been pretty much volunteering my time for the past five and a half years.” Come next month, patients will pay for services out of pocket and then submit claims to their insurance company to be reimbursed. Clinic staff are encouraging patients to check with their insurance providers now to find out if they will provide reimbursement for providers who are not in their network. In return, Valencia said, she and her staff, which includes registered nurse Kimberly Benner and office manager Kathy Zbryk, will try to make the reimbursement process as easy as possible for patients by providing them with the necessary claim forms. She will also drop her office visit fees by 20 percent and will add e-visits — low-cost visits done electronically for minor ailments — and eventually home visits. Insurance coverage for lab work, special tests, such as CT scans and MRIs, and prescription coverage will not be affected. The change applies only to Valencia and fellow nurse practitioner Katie Konrad, who joined the practice part-time in November. Physical therapist Andra DeVoght and massage therapist Caroline Sias, who also practice out of the clinic, will continue their current insurance billing practices.
Not long ago, Valencia said she was prepared to close her practice and had a job interview lined up, but then changed her mind, determined to come up with an alternative. This plan is that alternative, and while she said other nurse practitioners have done it successfully, she is clear there will be challenges. “We will lose patients,” File Photo she said. “The success of this Kimberly Valencia model depends on the number of people we’re able to maintain.” Valencia opened her practice in 2009, expecting to lose money initially. In recent years, her patient load has grown considerably, she said, with many new patients coming to her when changes took place at other island clinics, and health care reform brought her “an onslaught” of new patients. But, Valencia said, while clinic income covers the cost of running the business, she has not been able to draw a salary since she first opened the doors — and that cannot continue. Indeed, it is increasingly rare for health care professionals to practice outside of a larger system, and Valencia explained some of the challenges her clinic faces. Because she and Konrad are nurse practitioners, insurance reimburses them at about 80 percent of what it pays physicians, she said. Another 9 percent of charges goes to pay the person who does the billing for the practice. Medicaid, or insurance plans such as Apple Health for people with low incomes, pays at an extremely low rate and provides only one-third of the amount billed.

& Wellness Kitchen
“It does not come close to covering our costs,” she said, estimating that about 25 percent of her patients are covered by such a plan. Medicare also has a low reimbursement rate, she added, and until recently she did not turn away any patients because of financial hardship. Finally, as a small clinic, her buying power is much less than a large system. For example, she said that her office fits many intrauterine devices and must pay $700 to $900 for each one, a price that she said she believes is hundreds of dollars more than the amount large health systems pay. The same concept holds true for vaccines, with major purchases tying up cash and reimbursements falling short. “It’s incredibly sad it has to be this way,” she said. “Small clinics are taking the brunt of insurance companies not paying.” To be successful with the current insurance billing program, Valencia said they would have to double their patient load, which would mean seeing patients in 10- or 15-minute visits, as is standard practice at many clinics, but not there. “We do 20- to 30-minute appointments,” Valencia said. “We have time to listen intensely and address (patients’) questions.” Some patients may benefit financially from this new model, she added, particularly those who have highdeductible plans. For low income patients, the clinic will offer a day of preventative care every few months at little or no cost for those who qualify. Additionally, she said, Vashon Youth & Family Services will continue to provide some assistance for people who wish to be seen at the clinic. Valencia will give this new plan six months and then make further adjustments if needed, but she and her staff say they hope attrition will be low and they can continue serving the island. “If we can keep close to what we are doing now, it should work,” she said.

Valles Ontiveros. We will never know what led to his choice to end his life. With this we began a journey to understand external factors that may have contributed to his decision‌not to lay blame‌but to understand and make change‌so that if another individual, regardless of age, found themselves in a similar situation, the outcome may be different. We are outraged that the suicides on Vashon are considered within a “normal rangeâ€?, that the number of deaths are not statistically significant and not considered a “trendâ€?. If we are such a special and “tight-knitâ€? community then why have so many vibrant people made the decision to end their lives? We facilitated three community meetings at Ober Park where individuals of all ages participated and contributed. At our first meeting for Rj’s Kids we asked a series of questions to better understand the need of the Millennial community and what we could possibly implement to help engage change. At the second meeting we took five of the ideas, broke into groups and brain-stormed how to execute the ideas into something tangible with results. At the third meeting we shared the successes and then shared ideas about a community center; what it would include, what it could include and ultimately, what it should be. What we learned from these meetings; the overwhelming number of people who recognize the lack of facilities for young people and want to “do something about itâ€?; the incredible motivation and commitment from Millennials living here who want to be connected and contribute to the community at large; the variety and diversity of individuals and organizations that have identified similar needs and are working independently of each other to help the community and, lastly; the overwhelming need for a community center that provides a safe haven for all ages to interact and engage with each other. So why do so many individuals and groups have a similar vision to help the community but the efforts are not realized to their full potential or the successes are lost because they lack the ability to sustain longevity? We as residents embrace our uniqueness, celebrate our differences and enjoy a creative lifestyle – it is our culture, the history of the island and what unifies us. It is also what divides us and immobilizes our ability to unify our opinions, create an action plan and address a community need. Other similar communities with comparable issues have created programs and community centers. The Boiler Room in Port Townsend (www.ptbr.org) and the South Whidbey Commons (southwhidbeycommons.org). Both provide a “community living roomâ€? and opportunities for Millennials to be mentored and find a path in life. It is time to fix this. We need to build a destination driven community center as unique and as forward thinking as our island residents. One that sets a new standard for other communities to model after our success, one that embraces and utilizes all the talents of the amazing people that live here and one that engages all of the different demographics of this island. It is our sacred mission to honor our son and the others that have left us. It is a long path to walk but we will manifest the four elements of his foundation. x
The mission for Rj’s Kids; to provide education for mind-body balance through classes focused on martial arts, meditation and nutrition.
x
The vision for Rj’s House; a “Millennial Center� that is supports all groups in their mission to help the community.

Look for signs your zodiac has it out for you
Lack of progress in Olympia should end this year
With the new year upon us, I thought I would put my prodigious prognostication skills to work and give everyone an insight into what the year holds for them. How you say? Well, I missed a ferry last week, and while waiting for the next decided to go online and become an astrology expert. I thought it would complement my months of experience in phrenology. I understand there are a few skeptics out there. In fact, I’ve had a few of them say that the orbits of planets formed billions of years ago can’t tell me if a new acquaintance is romantically interested in me. Yeah, right. The next thing they’ll say is tarot cards are bogus. It probably comes as no surprise that while working toward my As.S. degree (Astrology of Science), I was very interested in my own sign. After an exhaustive search of Google’s top two results, I found a scholarly website, with very few pop-up ads, explaining how celestial objects influence Aquarians. Turns out it’s not good. My zodiac symbol is the water bearer, basically the water boy of astrology. My ruling planet is a gas orb that revolves around the sun. No it’s not Rush Limbaugh. Not to brag, though, but I have two finance planets, Neptune and Jupiter. However, they don’t seem to help me getting a car loan, even after repeatedly telling the salesman. Career planets, anyone? I have three of them: Mars, the sun and the moon. The fact that only one of those is actually a planet explains my career path. One astrology factoid that really stood out was the people I should
Washington’s Legislature reconvened last week with a gamut of issues to address — many of them the same as past years. Writing the next biennial budget will be a challenge, as agreeing on anything has been a challenge in Olympia, where Republicans control the senate and Democrats control the house. But decisions made this legislative session will have ripple effects across the state, including on Vashon. At risk of sounding like a broken record, it’s clear that lawmakers have got to find some compromise and be open to tax reform and new taxes, the only way they’re going to address our state’s biggest failings this year. First, this is the year lawmakers must designate more funding for schools, both because the state Supreme court has mandated it and because voters demanded it in the class-size measure that passed last fall. Vashon schools have been displeased to see state funding fall behind, but luckily we have been able tap our own community to maintain strong schools. Other communities haven’t been as fortunate. In one of the most progressive states in the country, a state that’s home to Microsoft and other big tech companies, there’s no reason we should fall short when it comes to education. A carbon tax for schools has been proposed, something Republicans not surprisingly take issue with. Perhaps they can come up with a better alternative. Transportation in our state is also in crisis, an issue that particularly affects Vashon. While the state Supreme Court hasn’t called it a constitutional violation, our ferries and roads are running into the red with no help in sight. As an island community, we face rising prices for ferry tickets and a future with no new boats unless lawmakers find a fix. While early reforms made by the new ferries director are encouraging, losses in tax revenue put us in this situation, and only new revenue can pull us out. Finally, there’s a new issue to be waded through in Olympia. Now that a system for legally growing and selling marijuana is in place, the state must do something about medical marijuana, a system that by comparison is extremely unregulated. Medical pot is also competing with our new state-licensed businesses — there’s one here on Vashon — and making it harder for the new system to get off the ground. It’s hard to know whether adding greater regulations to medical marijuana or simply folding the two systems into one is a better solution — both have been proposed. Sen. Sharon Nelson, who lives on Vashon, called this new territory the “wild, wild West” in a recent press conference. Whatever the answer, it should be one that brings more customers into legal shops where they’ll generate revenue badly needed by the state.

HUMOR By CHRIS AUSTIN
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Road safety
Pedestrians should walk facing traffic I want to add to the recent discussion of pedestrian safety: I am appalled by the large percentage of pedestrians who walk the highway and other roads facing the same way as traffic. Please, parents, teach your kids to always walk facing traffic. Young people especially often seem to walk three or four abreast, sometimes goofing off and oblivious to the traffic
coming up behind them. Especially in the dark, it is alarming to suddenly find that I am driving my car right next to a pedestrian who isn’t even aware of my position. At least if walkers, even wearing dark clothing and nearly invisible, are facing traffic, they can react if a driver veers in their direction because of a deer or some other reason.

Hunting
Hunter should consider the lives of deer Appreciation goes to the black tail deer who have given their lives (“Vashon visitors appreciate island hospitality,” Jan. 7). Not for sport, one would hope, but from a quick kill, for food, not to waste, but to give thanks. From Dr. Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965), philosopher, physician, musician, theologian, author, builder: “Our civilization lacks humane feelings. We are humans who are insufficiently humane! We must realize that and seek to find a new spirit. We have lost sight of the ideal because we are solely occupied with thoughts of men instead of remembering that our goodness and compassion should extend to all creatures. Religion and philosophy have not insisted as much as they should on the fact that our kindness should include all living creatures. ... We aspire to a new humanity. ... To think out in every implication the ethic of love for all creation — this is the difficult task which confronts our age.” From the book “Animals, Nature and Albert Schweitzer.” — Jo Ann Herbert
Health
Consider the claim that chemical is linked to autism I’ve been writing and researching about the loss of our rights and freedoms for many years now. What I’ve discov-
Maintenance aids
ered now is something some might even consider more ominous and immediate. Senior scientist Dr. Stephanie Seneff of MIT states that in 1970, one in 10,000 children were reported to have autism. Today it’s about one in 40. She predicts by 2025 it will be one in two if we stay the course. She identifies the primary cause to be a chemical called glyphosate, which is the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup and says there’s a 99 percent correlation between the two. In addition, there’s similar correlation between a number of other diseases as well, such as Alzheimer’s, celiac disease, depression, ADHD, inflammatory bowel disease, liver failure, kidney failure, pancreatic cancer and more. I’ve been in communication with Seneff and reviewed a number of studies and podcasts she suggested I look at. In my view, she’s a brilliant scientist and well qualified to talk about these things, despite the fact that some websites have appeared that claim the opposite. My view is that Monsanto and a lot of big money interests are prepared to spend a lot of money to convince you not to review the source documents regarding studies involving glyphosate. Anyway, here’s a link to a podcast that I think every American ought to listen to: tonu. org/2014/04/19/stephanie-seneff. The title is “Glyphosate — the 900 pound gorilla at our dinner table.” Listen to the entire podcast. Other source documents are listed at this site: people.csail.mit.edu/seneff. I suggest you read or listen to as many as you can. Some are quite technical, but I’ve learned something important with each one visited.

Tips for maintaining a healthy smile with DR. MARC O. LANGLAND
DID YOU KNOW? Dental phobia is one of the major reasons people avoid the dentist. This type of avoidance can result in compromised oral health so here are a few facts and tips: • Visiting the dentist has become much more comfortable due to new technology, improved anesthetics and modern training methods in dental Marc O. Langland, DDS schools. • Tell your dentist about your fears and don’t be embarrassed. Dentists work with fearful patients on a regular basis and there are many options to decrease anxiety. • For most people, just getting into the dental office is the hardest part so start with something easy. Schedule a consultation or an exam and see how you feel about your experience. (206) 463-9282 • www.VashonIslandDental.com

Thank You Global Cooling
When you sit in the ferry line at the north end do you ever notice that black, brooding building as it towers over the landscape? That is the Columbia Center and, standing at 943 feet, it is the tallest building in Washington State. If you took another Columbia Center and stacked it on top of the first, then added a third, put a 150-foot ladder on the tippy top, then climbed all the way up you would almost be as high as the Vashon Glacier was thick some 16,000 years ago. Suddenly sprinkling salt on the quarter inch of ice on your walkway doesn’t seem so bad. While the Ice Age is long gone its effects can still be seen today. For instance, subglacial drainage channels, basically rivers under the glaciers, carved out Colvos and East Passages, thus making our island. During the 1880s Seattle and Tacoma experienced devastating fires and the citizens prudently decided to rebuild with brick. Conveniently for us the retreating ice sheets left behind clay deposits along our shorelines. As a consequence ten or more brick making operations sprouted up to fill the need. In other places the characteristic rocky soil, called moraine, made for a vigorous gravel industry as well as many an achy gardener’s back. Even our famous hills are a parting gift from the last big climate change. The melting ice spawned rivers that eroded the soil in a ribbon-like fashion giving us long, steep ridges of land called “drumlins.” Be it a drumlin or moraine, hilltop or shoreline, you take the good and the bad when you have a geologic jigsaw puzzle such as ours. Unstable soil and drainage problems are a headache for some but the verdant valleys and beautiful vistas are a joy for all.

Carla Pryne (above, left), rector of Vashon’s Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit, recently delivered the invocation and benediction at the swearing-in ceremony for four newly elected and re-elected state Supreme Court justices in Olympia. Pryne was invited by one of the justices, former islander and Episcopal Church parishoner Mary Yu (above, right). Yu’s election is historically significant in that she is Washington’s first Asian American, Hispanic woman and openly gay justice to sit on the court. (Yu’s father was from China and her mother was from Mexico.) Pryne described the event as “amazing” and noted that the Temple of Justice Hall was completely filled with spectators, as was the overflow room. The other justices sworn in during the ceremony were Charles W. Johnson, Mary E. Fairhurst and Debra L. Stevens.

Arts center will double as shelter with PSE grant Vashon’s emergency preparedness efforts got a boost last Friday, when the Puget Sound Energy Foundation gave a big check symbolizing grants it awarded to Voice of Vashon (VoV) and Vashon Allied Arts (VAA). The two grants total $30,000. A $20,000 grant to VAA will enable the nonprofit to install a generator interface in the new Vashon Center for the Arts, allowing for one of Vashon Island Fire &
Rescue’s mobile generators to power the building during a major emergency so it can serve as a warming center, emergency shelter or emergency command center. A $10,000 grant to VoV will allow it to expand its emergency alert bulletins on 1650AM to the new FM radio station, as well as to the VoV television station and smartphone app.

this year they would like to see even more. Teams can be from one to three people. “We encourage friendly rivalry,” she added. This year Dean and Mary Andrews have offered a door prize of a two-night stay at their bed and breakfast, Andrio’s Guest House (see www. vacationrentals.com #31704). To be eligible for the drawing, pick up

It all started with a Hardware Store... At the center of town, sits the 125 year old Vashon Hardware Store, the oldest commercial building on the island and a member of the National Register of Historic Places. The ‘great good food’ version of The Hardware Store was born on August 1, 2005, almost 10 years ago. Business woman and island resident, Melinda Powers, saw the then-empty building and envisioned a community gathering place that would serve fresh, healthy, comforting fare. “Our food is produced by local, organic sources to the extent possible, such as all-natural grass-fed beef from RR Ranch, all-natural chicken from Draper Valley Farms, naturally nested eggs, and great produce from Island farms, like Pink Tractor.” We have 45 great employees in our Hardware Store family, a few of whom are pictured here, who are the heart and soul of our business and make everyday a pleasure to come to work. As The Hardware Store’s journey progressed, it became clear how important the building and its history were to the Vashon community. As it evolves, the halls are filled with laughter, chatter, stories being told and stories being made.

She first came to Vashon to visit her great grandmother’s farm when just a toddler. She is grateful for the opportunity to work here for over 20 years.

Chris Austin Author – Radio Host If you asked him, Chris would tell you he has the voice for print and the face for radio and since moving to Vashon he has had the good fortune to use both of them. He arrived some four years ago and wrote a couple of books published by Amazon, “The Bottom Bracket” and “Forever Fat.” Later he was hired by the Beachcomber as a plucky newspaper boy delivering the news by bicycle. He moved on up to circulation manager and for the last two years has written a humor column for the paper. Last summer he began trying to stump islanders with a crossword puzzle and most recently he has used his interest in our island’s past by penning the weekly piece, “It’s Your History.” When Voice of Vashon got its FM license he jumped at the chance to take to the airwaves and produced the “Austin Hour” an award winning, satirical news and information show. He also tries to ease islanders’ commute with the live, drive-time show, “Austin in the Afternoon” and, as co-host with Gregg Curry, on the “Morning Scramble.” When not in front of his typewriter you can find Chris conducting evening and Sunday exercise classes for Core Centric Training in downtown Vashon.

Who’s Who ON VASHON “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead (1901-1978)
Dale Korenek, realtor Raised on Vashon with 4 generations of Koreneks on Island, you might already know me. Last year I left the septic industry and moved to Real Estate. It makes sense: I have local expertise, I enjoy working with people, and I’m invested in my community. When not helping clients, you’ll find me hunting & fishing in the greater Northwest.

The Heart and Soul of Open Space, Janet and David have a lifetime of experience making and producing theatre and performance. Co-founders of UMO Ensemble, they have worked as producers, performers, writers, directors and teachers, with organizations including Teatro ZinZanni, Cirque du Flambe, the Moisture Festival, Freehold Theatre Lab Studio, Cornish College of the Arts, and many more. Longtime Vashon residents, Janet and David spent 20 years searching the island for a place where the community could gather for events, performances, rehearsals, and classroom spaces – they recognized first-hand that the wealth of artists on Vashon truly needed room to play, to perform, and to fly. Together, they have created that with Open Space. “In 2006, we founded Open Space with the vision of providing a place where Vashon could gather in large numbers to celebrate the bond between arts and community. We set out on the path of forging a new business model: a private enterprise, grown from philanthropic investment, to serve the Vashon community. We are a unique community center—unusually configured and flexible, independent from traditional models, and committed to our place in the Vashon and regional community. This vision remains constant and strong.” - Janet McAlpin and David Godsey Inspired by the creative, compassionate and “can do” spirit of Vashon, Janet and David and the Open Space team co-create extraordinary artistic and community-building experiences that enrich and inspire all involved. Open Space offers a lively and diverse range of arts, and proudly contributes to the success of classes, community meetings, and more. Open Space is dedicated to Vashon life, and has hosted many celebrations and fundraisers for island non-profits. Since 2009, over $1.8 million dollars has been raised under the Open Space roof for island organizations. Open Space is truly a place for Arts & Community. Vashon’s small-town, can-do spirit is in evidence in every corner. Dozens of islanders have donated their time and talents to helping make Open Space shine, providing everything from front-of-house support at performances to professional photography and graphic design to the design of a world-class sound system. Open Space for Arts & Community: led by artists, in service to our community.

Taylor, DDS, recommends mandibular appliance I
f you decided to keep a sleep diary, what would you write? “I sleep eight hours every night but I am always tired the next day.� “My spouse is always complaining that I snore too much and sometimes I stop breathing.� “I don’t remember part of my drive to work because I was so sleepy.� “ I wake up multiple times to go to the bathroom.� “I can’t stand these headaches anymore.� “I never wake up feeling refreshed.� All of these situations are possible symptoms of sleep apnea, a condition in which breathing stops during sleep. Sleep physicians attempt to solve sleep apnea problems through the use of a CPAP machine, but often times people using a CPAP machine find it very obtrusive, uncomfortable to wear and are disturbed by the noise it makes. In turn, the machine sits by the bed, untouched, and the apnea continues to invade a good night’s sleep, which takes a toll on your overall health. Rebecca Taylor, DDS offers a comfortable alternative: a retainer-like device that opens up your airway. The FDA-approved device, also known as a mandibular appliance, moves the jaw forward slightly to open the airway and allow normal breathing.
Micro2 CPAP alternative mandibular appliance.
“When you treat someone who is not breathing with CPR, before you give a breath, you tip their head back and tilt their jaw forward. WHY? Because this positioning of the head brings the tongue forward and off the back of the throat, thus opening up the airway, � Dr. Taylor explained.
“The mandibular appliance works in much the same way; it holds the jaw in a comfortable forward position, clearing the airway, and helping people breathe easier at night.� Comparing sleep apnea to the need for CPR may sound extreme, but as Dr. Taylor explains, “When you stop breathing in your sleep, it’s a huge deal. You can last days without food and water, but you can only last minutes without oxygen. This is one reason why heart attacks occur at night.�she said. Consider her statement in terms of sleep apnea: Each time you stop breathing while
you sleep, you deprive all of your body systems — including your heart and brain — of several seconds of oxygen. Over time, your physical condition is affected. You continuously look and feel tired, your physical appearance becomes haggard, you may experience a downturn in your mood and thought processes and you may notice negative effects in your work performance andrelationships with friends and family. Additionally, sleep apnea is related to diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, thyroid issues, erectile dysfunction, ADHD, fibromyalgia, weight gain‌ the list goes on. And on the roadways, falling asleep at the wheel can lead to fatal accidents. In fact, more people are injured from sleep deprived accidents than drunk driving. With this information and your personal sleep history in mind, the proverbial ball is in your court. Take action? Or continue to sleep poorly and suffer potentially life-altering consequences? “ It is estimated that 80-90% of people with sleep apnea are undiagnosed, and are sleeping every night with oxygen deficiency. In fact, one of the biggest symptoms of sleep apnea is snoring. But don’t let that fool you, just because you don’t snore doesn’t mean you do not have sleep apnea.â€? If you’re wondering if you have

Your patronage really makes a difference in the lives of Vashon families just like yours. Marge started it all in her basement in the early ‘80s. Husband, daughter and son were soon drafted into the operation - and now the grandchildren are sucked in. Jenny and Corinne have been with us for most of a decade. Jason thought it sounded like a good idea to join the funny farm this year. Tom, along with Lydia and Mariesa have turned the grooming salon into a going concern. Again, our most sincere thanks for all you have done for us. 17321 Vashon Hwy SW• 463-3401

Wrestlers post winning week on the mats Pirate boys start league play off right
By CHERYL PRUETT For The Beachcomber
The Pirate wrestlers posted big wins during an exceptionally exhausting and productive 72 hours of wrestling last week. Last Thursday, Vashon took on Nisqually League rival Bellevue Christian in a dual meet, winning by a decisive score of 58-18. Of the 14 scheduled matches, four were forfeits, three for the Pirates and one for the Vikings. Of the 10 varsity matches wrestled, the Pirates won seven, six of those by pin, and most in the first round. Winning were Preston Petersen, Chase Wickman, Shane Williams, Cori Williams, Logan Nelson, Clyde Pruett and Franklin Easton. Winning in JV matches were Rodolfo Flores, Cori Williams and Ellis Petersen. The Force is with Easton, who gets a nod for a match of the evening for wrestling with a broken nose. Discarding the Hannibal Lecter persona, he debuted a new Darth Vader mask. On Friday, a packed gym saw the Pirates take on Klahowya Secondary School of Bremerton. Vashon secured the dual meet victory with a final score of 42-24. There were only two forfeits, and of the 12 matches wrestled, Vashon won seven. Winning for the Pirates were Ellis Petersen, Luke Larson, Wickman, Shane Williams, Cori Williams, Nelson and Easton. Match of the night goes to Cori Williams, who embodied the “never give up” motto long before the Seahawks made it popular on Sunday. Wrestling a tough competitor from Klahowya, he was down 9-0 at the end of round one. By the end of round two, he was mounting a comeback but still trailed 14-7. Then things got a little weird. As the final two minutes wound down, Williams continued to
The Pirate basketball teams have been playing games for weeks now, but Nisqually League play has just begun. On Jan. 9, the boys’ team withstood a final run by visiting opponent Seattle Christian to post the first Nisqually League victory, 59-40. Scoring Summary: Sam Yates 19, Jessie Norton 10, Alex Symbol-Godfrey 10, Ian Stewart 9, Steen Jennings 3, Casper Forest 3, Sam Schoenberg 3 and Darren May-Power 2. On Jan. 13, the Pirates notched their second league victory at Bellevue Christian, 58-41. Team defense was the key and will continue to be as the team moves forward in league play.

Then, in a second, it was over. The referee called the match, disqualifying the Klahowya wrestler for posting too many technical violations and stalling calls. Match over. Williams victorious. The crowd went wild. The Klahowya coach was not amused. Saturday found the team in Rainier at the always tough Sergeant Justin Norton Invitational Tournament. Traditionally, the top 1A teams in the state attend this event. Vashon, after back-to-back dual meets and an early morning wake-up, ended the day in fourth place with the top teams separated by very slim margins. Eleven wrestlers represented Vashon, with six making it to the semi-final rounds, three to the finals
Islanders interested in walking or running in the upcoming Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon & Half Marathon — while supporting World Vision — are invited to an informational meeting at 7 p.m. Monday at the Vashon Library. Starting Feb. 8, Beverly Skeffington will lead an exercise group in preparing for the event, with the goal of getting so-called called coach potatoes up and in shape to compete by the June 13 race date. Those who participate will be expected to raise funds for World Vision, to cover their cost of the race and to train, including Saturday sessions with the group. “We will be creating a community ... especially of people who did not think they could do this,” Skeffington said. A representative from World Vision, which serves more than 100 countries, will speak at Monday’s meeting. Funds raised through the effort will go to support clean water in Africa, where women and children often have to walks 5 to 10 miles to get water that is not even safe for them to drink. Skeffington said her group is at five now, and she would like to see 25 or more from Vashon participate. “Even if everyone just raises $50, someone will have water,” she said. For more information, call Skeffington at 354-8921.

and seven finishing in the medals. Chase Wickman continued his total domination of opponents, decisively winning all his matches to take the championship. Taking second place were Nelson and Easton. Third-place finishes went to Larson and Chester Pruett. Cori Williams and Eli Hudson took fifth. Wrestling well and finishing just out of the medals were Hunter Burger and Shane Williams. Matches of note: Nelson, in his final match, lost a tough one against Rochester in a true six-minute gordian knot match-up. Wickman, in his semi-final match, destroyed his Castle Rock opponent, 24-9. The Pirates will travel to Cascade Christian on Thursday and then end their regular season on Saturday at the Emerald Ridge Classic in Puyallup. — Cheryl Pruett is the mother of two Pirate wrestlers.

Girls’ basketball team loses one on the road, wins one at home With seven games left, the girls have a 3-9 record so far this season By JOEL HILLE For The Beachcomber
The Vashon High School girls’ basketball team traveled to Bellevue on Tuesday, Jan. 13, for its second league game of the season against the Bellevue Christian Vikings. Both teams began the game with strong defense, which limited the scoring for each, and the Vikings led 11-9 after the first quarter. The defense continued both ways, but the Pirates were slower to adjust and soon found themselves down 22-11 several minutes into the second quarter. However, they got a spark of offense toward the end of the half, when Lilly Hennessey came off the bench and made three consecutive field goals to pull the Pirates within 3 points for a halftime score of 22-19, Vikings. After halftime, the Vikings offense came alive, making four 3-pointers during a 15-4 run to gain a 37-23 advantage with two minutes left in the third quarter. The Pirates then made a quick 4-0 run of their own to pull within 10 points for a score of 37-27 at the end of three. The Pirates continued fighting hard during the fourth quarter but could not get closer than 7 points, and the teams traded baskets until the end for a final score of 47-38, Vikings. The Pirates were led in scoring by Siena Jannetty with 14 points. Annika Hille added 10, Eva Anderson and Hennessey each had

Hille also grabbed 9 rebounds, with Jannetty and Kate Atwell pulling down 7 each, Anderson and Hennessey had 3 each, and Scheer had 2. On Saturday, the Chimacum Cowboys traveled to Vashon for a non-league contest. Chimacum has been a familiar foe for the Pirates in previous years as a league opponent; however, the school moved from the Nisqually League to the Olympic League after the 2013-2014 school year. The game began slowly for both teams, and the first quarter ended with the score
knotted at 8-8. In the second quarter, the Pirates still couldn’t find any rhythm and appeared to be getting frustrated as they were outscored 8-2, with the only points coming on two free throws by Hille for a halftime score of 16-10. Things then changed in the Pirates’ favor in the third quarter as they strategically switched to a person-to-person defense. This move quickly paid dividends as they forced the Cowboys’ offense into several bad shots, which led to uncontested rebounds for the Pirates, allowing them to

confidently move the ball up the floor for fast break points. Just two minutes into the second half, the Pirates had tied the game at 16, and they were just getting started. The defense continued to stymie the Cowboys’ offense, and the Pirates snagged several more steals and rebounds, leading to more fast break points. They ended the quarter on a 20-0 run for a score of 30-16. The Pirates continued to outpace their opponents in the fourth quarter, with the Cowboys scoring their only point of the second half on a free throw with six minutes left in the game. The final score was 45-17, with the Pirates outscoring the Cowboys 35-1 during the second half. Coach Rob Kearns said he was pleased to see the girls respond during the second half against Chimacum. “It was nice to see them respond well when we went to the man-to-man defense,” he said. “They showed that they are capable of converting turnovers into points in the transition game if they play hard and play with confidence.” The scoring was led by Jannetty with 15 points, Hille with 12, Anderson with 8, Atwell with 5, Scheer and Hennessey with 2 each and Natalie VanDevanter with 1. Rebounding was led by Hille with 14, Atwell with 10, Hennessey and Melanie Stoffer with 6, Jannetty with 5, Anderson with 3, VanDevanter with 2 and Scheer with 1. The girls play at home next at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30. — Joel Hille is the father of a Pirate basketball player.

SURVEY CONTINUED FROM 1
SKCCH, said the numbers they come up with are considered conservative but reliable. “Obviously we know the numbers are low,” she said. “Logistically it would be impossible to count everywhere, but we keep adding areas and volunteers every year, and what we do get is a good idea of the scope of the issue so that we can advocate for more funding where and how it’s needed.” In the past the coalition’s focus has been on urban areas, as the homeless can be more difficult to locate in rural neighborhoods. But Roy said the coalition was thrilled when Szala recently asked about Vashon participating. “The people doing the work in the communities are the ones who know where to go,” she said. “We believe this will be a good pilot and what we learn might help us expand to more areas on the Eastside and southwest in the future.” Szala said that while Vashon hasn’t participated before and that some who work with the island’s homeless don’t see the benefit in the surveys, he believes that they are important. Accurate information on homeless populations is now a requirement of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, a federal law enacted in 1987 that provides money for homeless shelters and housing programs and guarantees homeless children education, transportation to school and free meals at school. School districts are required to keep a record of known homeless students in order to receive funding under the act. “This is how you get grants for programs and projects that will help the people we’re counting,” Szala said. “If you want to get money from federal programs under the McKinneyVento Act, you have to have numbers.” Members of the Vashon Social Services Network, which Vashon Household is a part of, have volunteered to help with the overnight count. The Vashon Senior Center will also be open from 2 to 5 a.m. as a drop-in survey point. “We will have teams going out to the areas where we know or think people are sleeping,” Szala said. According to Szala and Nancy Vanderpool of Vashon’s Interfaith Council to Prevent Homelessness (IFCH), service workers are currently aware of about two dozen people on Vashon who are without shelter. The definition of “homeless” under the McKinney-Vento Act, however, is broader and includes those who have a home but cannot afford utilities, as well as people who are unstably housed, meaning they stay temporarily with someone but do not have a residence of their own. The two said it’s likely that even more islanders fall into that category.

“It’s really important for people to understand that they might qualify for help, especially the kids,” said Carrie Hennen, a project planner for King County’s Homeless Youth and Young Adult Initiative. Under the auspices of the county’s Committee to End Homelessness, the initiative began a count of its own five years ago, focusing on youth ages 12 to 25. Working as a compliment to the One Night Count, Count Us In also collects demographic information. For example, last year’s survey showed that of the 779 youth in King County that responded, 50 percent were female, 22 percent identified as LGBTQ, 12 percent were under 18 and 51 percent were people of color. The survey also includes information on responders’ last zip code of residence and the zip code where they last spent the night in order to track where homeless youth have come from. “Basically we’ve found that they’re coming from everywhere,” Hennen said. “We have seen responses listing almost every zip code in the state as the last zip code of residence.” The King County Library System is a natural partner for Count Us In, Hennen said, as it participates in a program called Safe Place, which identifies the libraries as safe places for homeless youth or youth in crisis and trains library staff to help them access services. From 4 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, the Vashon Library will have a table set up as a survey point. Ursula Schwaiger, the library’s children’s section supervisor, said she believes some homeless youth may use the Vashon Library as a safe place, and she hopes they participate in the survey. “I see some young people in here that always stay until closing, and I also see them on the street, so it makes you wonder,” she said. Schwaiger said she planned to get word out about the survey by giving posters to local schools, but noted that some young people may not know they can be included. The county hopes to reach those who aren’t traditionally homeless but stay with friends or others and are often called “couch surfers.” According to Szala, information obtained through social service organizations shows there are currently about a dozen students at Vashon High School who are unstably
housed. In King County, over 6,000 students have been identified as homeless, and there are over 30,000 homeless students in the state. “We only have one student registered with the district as homeless, but we know there are more who are couch surfing,” said Donna Donnelly, assistant to the superintendent of the Vashon School District and the district’s homeless student liaison. “We just have no way to know how many and how to reach them to help with meals and other services.” Emma Amiad of IFCH said that she doesn’t believe there is any value to such surveys, and she questioned whether there will be any benefit to Vashon, noting that caring for the homeless falls largely on the shoulders of nonprofits. “We need solutions and money,” she said. “They are not addressing the real issues like mental health at all. No one has done anything, especially in rural King County.” Still, Szala and Roy stressed the value in collecting data. “It’s important to document the realities and acknowledge this is happening,” Roy said. “Then you can use the information as a tool to advocate for more funding and make sure that your elected officials know what you need.” She added that some organizations also use the numbers as a reference to support their missions and goals. Numbers from the One Night Count will be available by the end of the day on Friday, while results from Count Us In should be available in March. “If it can help us get grants for Vashon Household projects and more affordable housing for people here, why wouldn’t we do that?” Szala said.

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 31 years! Available for Adoption
Born 2010, Tugg and his brother Tanner were left behind by their owner. VIPP volunteers spent a few days setting Havahart traps at their home to round them up. Tugg is the more outgoing and self assured of the two. We have not been able to find out much about these two cats but they lived with their adult person in a home without other pets or kids. They were indoor cats until they were left out when the person left the island. Tugg came to VIPP on 12/10/14.
Young Sisi is a fantastic ambassador for her breed and would love to learn nose work, agility or be trained in animal-assisted therapy. She is responding eagerly to her current foundational training and just wants to please. Sisi is a wiggly and wonderful small 18 month old pitbull-type female who Sisi is carefree, full of life and will make a loyal and affectionate companion. She adores people, gets along great with other dogs and will be happy in an active home with no cats. Sisi is learning how to walk without pulling on her leash, basic impulse control and how to greet politely. She was a joy around 12 strangers, including young children, over Thanksgiving, and Sisi will flourish in a home with a fenced yard. Sisi is spayed, up to date on shots, micro-chipped and ready to become a beloved member of your family. For more information on Sisi, call Toni at 206-567-4920.
