Visitors from South America
At-risk teens expand their borders By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
At the Harbor School last Friday, several sixth-grade students gathered to listen to a story in Spanish, but instead of their usual instructor leading the class, a guest teacher told the tale, joined by five of his students from Uruguay. The visiting students and their instructors are not those who typically take part in student exchange programs, but rather they are from a community called Casavalle, the poorest area of Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay.
There six days a week they attend a free, private school, where days run 11 hours long, three meals are served, and school activities in the evening hours are encouraged to keep all students engaged and safe. At home, the teens contend with a variety of problems in addition to poverty, including family violence, drug dealing or prostitution, according to their teacher Ezequiel Aleman. In their neighborhood, he said, 75 percent of students drop out before SEE TEENS, 23
Vashon’s fire district is kicking off a long-range planning process that may ultimately determine whether it seeks more tax revenue to boost its emergency response capabilities. A group of about 30 islanders representing both Vashon Island Fire & Rescue (VIFR) and the public met for the first time last week to begin what Fire Chief Hank Lipe called a transparent process of crafting a strategic plan to guide the district over the next several years. In the coming months, Lipe said, the group — called the Strategic Planning Oversight Team
(SPOT) — will work to present islanders with information about the fire district’s current abilities to respond to medical emergencies and fires and to gauge public sentiment. “They really need to understand what our capabilities are, what they’re getting for their money and if it’s acceptable or not,” Lipe said. “If it’s not acceptable, what do they really want?” Lipe and other VIFR officials have said that while they’re pleased with the district’s current response capabilities, the agency is also facing a gradually increasing number of calls as well as other challenges. Medical emergencies have gradually increased on Vashon in recent years, from a little over 800 calls in 2001 to more than 1,100 calls in 2013. What’s more, SEE VIFR, 14
Construction will cause traffic changes, potential delays at dock Project to make ferry dock earthquake resistant will last nine months By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
A major construction project at the northend ferry dock will mean traffic changes and possible ferry delays for nine months beginning this summer. Washington State Ferries (WSF) will hold a public meeting next week on Vashon to inform about the ferry dock and what to expect when construction begins in June. During the bulk
of the project, vehicles will line up on the road instead of the dock. Part of 103rd Avenue SW will become a one-lane street, and there will be no room to pick up or drop off passengers on the dock or on 103rd. “We’re working hard to ensure that the effects to Vashon riders will be minimal, but there is construction, so we do appreciate patience,” said Nicole McIntosh, an engineering manager for WSF’s terminal engineering department. Greg Beardsley, head of Vashon’s Ferry Advisory Committee, has studied the project as part of a citizen advisory group and noted that it has the potential to delay ferry Natalie Martin/Staff Photo

Vashon Park District’s board of commissioners will discuss the Tramp Harbor dock’s poor condition and may decide whether to close the dock at its meeting next Tuesday. At the meeting, the board will also take public comments on closing the popular fishing pier. “We are encouraging the public to attend if people have strong feelings about it either way,” said park district Director Elaine Ott. The park district, which manages the 80-yearold dock, is considering closing the dock after a recent study found it may be unsafe. About 10 percent of the dock’s pilings are in poor condition and at risk of failing, and a failure of one piling could result in a 20-foot section of pier
falling into the water. The engineering company that did the study estimated that replacing the piers would cost about $300,000. Last week the park district placed warning signs at the dock. Ott said she is considering closing the dock altogether but is waiting for an opinion from the district’s attorney and for the district’s board to discuss the issue further. She added that the district may consider other options, such as closing the dock only during high winds. Ott noted that she hopes to hear public sentiment at next meeting, but will also weigh it against the need for public safety and the opinion of the district’s attorney. “Ultimately, public safety will be our overrid-
ing consideration,” she said. The district will likely hold off on discussing any dock repairs until it is able to learn more about the dock’s lease, which is currently up for renewal. The state Department of Natural Resources has asked that as part of the lease renewal the creosote-treated dock eventually be rebuilt to meet current environmental code. A rebuild has been estimated to cost $1 million to $2 million, and Ott hopes to meet with state and county officials in the coming weeks to negotiate the terms of the lease. The park district meeting will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 10, at Ober Park. — Natalie Martin
Insurance company to cover remainder of pool repair costs Vashon Park District’s insurance company will cover the installation costs to repair the Vashon Pool’s drainage system, according to park district Director Elaine Ott. “I am delighted we are not expecting to put any taxpayer dollars toward the problem,” she said in an interview last week. During the school district’s spring break, work will begin on a drainage solution, which was approved by the state’s Department of Ecology. A culvert will be dug from the pool area to a drainage pond nearby. Filtered water, once the chlorine dissipates, will be released to the area near the pond, and pool staff will be required
to test the pond water to make sure there in no chlorine in it. Scott Bonney, the pool manager, said the testing will be free to the district and not labor intensive. Department of Ecology officials expect this remedy to work, Ott said, and if it does not, additional work will be required, but the culvert would be required for that as well. Issues surrounding the pool’s drainage system arose last spring, when it was discovered that, following construction of the new high school, the pool’s filtering tanks no longer drained. In the ensuing weeks, the school district spent roughly $18,000 on engineering, soil testing,
regulatory reviews and project management to get to the three viable solutions, according to school Superintendent Michael Soltman. However, there was tension between the districts regarding who was responsible and who should pay to remedy the situation, making news that the park district’s insurance company will cover the installation costs particularly welcome. “It is troublesome to me if there is any kind of strained relationship with any community partners,” Ott said. — Susan Riemer

K2 plans environmental testing at former factory It is not yet known whether cleanup will be required By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
The K2 Corporation is moving forward in the process to get its property on Vashon declared either free of pollution or cleaned to state standards. The state Department of Ecology (DOE) recently approved of K2’s plan to do new environmental testing at the site of its former factory on Vashon Highway, which is listed as contaminated by the state. The site is on DOE’s cleanup list because of diesel oil that leaked into the soil from a tank that was removed in 2008, but the state has not yet determined if a cleanup will be required there or anywhere else on the site. After entering DOE’s Voluntary Cleanup Program
last May, K2 hired the environmental consulting company Environmental Resources Management, which has offices in Seattle, to prepare a plan for investigating possible environmental contamination at the entire property, where K2 skis and snowboards were once made. The plan was submitted to the state for approval last December. In an opinion letter dated Feb. 18, DOE stated that environmental testing performed years ago at K2 was limited in scope and did not provide sufficient information about the site and its history. However, K2’s newest plan, the letter says, constitutes an acceptable environmental investigation and plans for testing at spots where contamination is suspected. The letter notes that substances such as oil, pesticides and metals may have contaminated the site in the past, and it is unknown whether the groundwater was impacted. “Since groundwater is
an important resource on Vashon Island, a comprehensive evaluation needs to be performed. Shallow groundwater is likely present beneath the property and groundwater conditions have not been fully investigated,” the letter reads. K2 entered the Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) last year after it came close to selling the property to a legal marijuana company and the Backbone Campaign, a local political action group, raised concerns, saying it was unknown how much environmental contamination may be present there. The Backbone Campaign made public a document from a Seattle environmental consultant stating that previous environmental testing at the site was incomplete. The nonprofit also circulated a petition asking that K2 enter the VCP and obtain a no further action (NFA) decision from the state before selling its property. Later the King County

DID YOU KNOW? Dentists play an important role in cancer care. The life saving benefits of chemotherapy and radiation in cancer treatment are undeniable but they often come with many side effects. Chemotherapy can suppress the immune system and make patients more susceptible to oral infection. Radiation has a detrimental effect on salivary gland cells and can result in severe dry mouth. Marc O. Langland, DDS Without saliva protecting the teeth from acid in the mouth, rampant decay and cavities can develop. Luckily, most of these dental problems are preventable with cleanings, fluoride and specially formulated prescription oral rinses. If you or someone you know is undergoing cancer therapy, a dental appointment early on could prevent many of these potential problems. (206) 463-9282 • www.VashonIslandDental.com
Council also approved a Vashon Town Plan amendment requiring any property listed as contaminated to obtain an NFA letter before being granted a change-ofuse building permit. Backbone Campaign Director Bill Moyer sent an email to the organization’s supporters on Feb. 22, calling the state’s recent opinion letter a confirmation that previous testing at the site was inadequate and more testing is needed. “Jarden/K2 is on an ethical, responsible path and should be acknowledged for that,” he said in the email. K2 is still at the beginning of the state’s Voluntary Cleanup Program process. Once it completes testing at the site, it will submit a report to the state for review. Should contamination be found there, the state could ask that it be cleaned or addressed in order for K2 to obtain an NFA letter.

Smart moves can keep your brain young
Take the chance to have a say in emergency services
This is the first in a series of columns on healthy living By Shape Up Vashon coordinator Laura Wishik.
Living on Vashon, we make some sacrifices, giving up things like easy access to the Seattle area and cheap gas. Another thing we sacrifice is the kind of emergency medical response we might get on the mainland. It’s not that the paramedics and EMTs who work on Vashon aren’t just as skilled. We simply can’t achieve the level of coverage one might see in the city. Living on an island means it could take longer for medical help to show up at your door in an emergency or it could be more difficult to get an ambulance ride to a hospital. Vashon Island Fire & Rescue (VIFR) always has responders on duty, but emergency calls sometimes come in clusters. For instance, one September evening a few years ago, the station got five calls requiring ferry transports to hospitals within 90 minutes — a rare spurt of emergencies. One of the last emergencies was during a high school football game. A member of the opposing team suffered what seemed to be a neck injury, but no ambulances were available to take him to the hospital. The player lay on the field for 45 minutes while responders tended to him, waiting for an ambulance. This is an extreme example, and it should be noted that patients who need to can always get off the island quickly via helicopter. But it’s an example of how on an island, our resources can quickly run dry. Almost once a week, VIFR puts out a call for all its responders — paid, volunteer, those at home — to report for duty because the station may run out of manpower. Do we want our fire district to have more resources? It’s a question we haven’t asked in some time, and certainly not since the island’s medical emergencies and number of ferry transports have risen. The fire district is right to closely involve the public in its long-range planning, particularly because the effort could result in a proposal to raise taxes. But it’s also right to say the effort is not one simply to raise support for taxes. The station has a significant budget, and it does a lot with it. It has improved response times in recent years by making changes to its volunteer program. It believes it will also improve service with upcoming changes to the paramedic program. Most people aren’t aware of the agency’s inner workings. The public is now tasked with looking at the current state of the district and deciding whether we’re willing to continue with a certain amount of risk when it comes to medical response or if we want more reliable service. And, as district officials have noted, taxes aren’t the only way to achieve that. Hopefully VIFR presents its information in an unbiased but useful way, giving context to the data it is collecting. And hopefully the public participates in the process, providing the feedback the district needs to chart this important course.

Arguments supporting vaccines were only anecdotal Most are familiar with the fictional world of Star Trek where humans are emotional and Vulcans choose not to be. We’ve been fascinated by the battle between cold logic and hot emotionality because we recognize it. While reality can be stranger than fiction, they can also mirror one another. I wonder what Spock’s response would have been to Brigitte Brown’s persuasive opinion article in last
week’s issue (“Consider the tragedies prevented by vaccines”)? Her long list of anecdotal stories (minus one sentence about long-ago vaccine injuries in Japan) attempted to paint a convincingly pro-vaccine picture: fear of disease, helpless parents and doctors, disappearing children and verbiage such as horror, fury, searing grief, miracle and lucky. Captain Kirk might have been swayed, but I imagine Spock would have lifted his logical eyebrow. The subject of public health is what we’re talking about. And some concepts from 100 or 60 or 30 years ago still make sense. Some don’t. Brigitte’s article makes one valid point. We don’t want to return to the LETTERS CONTINUE, NEXT PAGE

their levels of BDNF. The Nurses’ Health Study tracked the diet and exercise habits of over 122,000 nurses for decades. The nurses who exercised the most had the least problems with memory and thinking abilities as they aged. Even those who did a modest amount of exercise, just one and a half hours of walking each week, had significantly better brain functions than those who were more sedentary. You can actually see how exercise improves the brain. The hippocampus, which helps with memory processing, is significantly larger. Neurons have more branches so they can make more connections. Electric signals through neurons have a higher voltage. Exercise and the resulting increase in BDNF also helps people suffering from depression. Exercise is now recognized as a treatment for depression that is as effective as medication for some people and that improves the effect of medicine for others. So put on your walking shoes. You can find people to walk with and share good conversation by going to Meetup.com and searching for Vashon Walking or Vashon Hiking. I hope to see you on the trail.

way things were. Absolutely true. Brigitte’s childhood memories and gathered stories, however, present only one slice of a huge pie. There are other stories which have been conveniently ignored. This is why anecdotal stories are viewed as non-scientific manipulatives. They hook us emotionally and inspire us to pay attention, but they aren’t answers, evidence, proof or data. In other words, they aren’t scientific. The scientific method thrives in an environment of curiosity, openmindedness and exacting methodology. Patience and challenging peer-reviewed checks and balances are also important. Which is why fear is problematic. Frightened people make hasty decisions, and that is bad for public health. So, let’s put our thinking hats back on, please. Because, as Spock would say, “Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.” And “Insufficient facts always invite danger.” — March Twisdale

that allowed for either party, with 60 days’ notice, to terminate the lease. It also needs to be said that the buyer’s offer to purchase the property was unusual in that it provided a provision for both extra time and financial compensation to help the current tenants relocate. In addition, Bob and Chuck even asked for more additional time as well as provided financial assistance to help as well. It is very easy from the outside to feel what should be done and what is right for others to do with their life savings. We can each have our opinions. If there is a villain to be found, it is the difficulty so many businesses face trying to survive running a business on an island with the demographic challenges that come from our population size. There are many spaces on this island, and I would love to see those folks within the community put their energies into supporting the next steps the quilt shop takes. I wish them well. I also hope that our island embraces, with our customary warmth, the buyers and their new business venture.
Quilt Shop
— Mary Robinson
Consider an inside view of building’s sale I am just so disheartened about the gossip in this town. I understand there is support for the quilt shop and rightfully so. I believe Anja and Paul have poured their heart and soul into their business and it has taken a never-say-die attitude to get as far as they have. I also understand the love so many folks have for their business. When the quilt shop moved in, it served both parties well, as the building did not sell despite being listed. Chuck has owned the furniture store for over 25 years and served this community with a wonderful spirit and dedication to his customers and this town. He participated in Strawberry Festivals, was in local business groups, participated with the chamber of commerce, delivered mattresses and sofas and carpeted countless homes in this community. He put in a lot of hard work for many years. He and Bob are past retirement age, and it is time to sell their piece of property. Their wishes to sell this property have been known from the start. They have not broken any lease, and the lease that was under consideration included language
Robinsons have served the island well The quilt store is a wonderful place on Vashon. There’s no dispute. At the same time, I couldn’t read all the recent letters about the quilt shop having to move and not respond. I have lived here for 20 years and am an avid supporter of island businesses. The owners of the building brought 50 years of great service to the island with Robinson’s Furniture. Many of us bought furniture or furnished a room, or perhaps an entire home, with their quality selection. When they closed, they put the building on the market without much luck. I wonder why, if the community felt the quilt store was so indispensable, it wasn’t purchased for that purpose. They knew that the family needed to sell the building, and it was only a matter of time. And for the record, the real estate transaction hasn’t closed yet, and I feel we, as a community, need to respect the buyers’ and sellers’ decisions no matter what they do. Thanks to Paul and Anja for the creativ-

Don’t blame the buyers for shop’s displacement I was disappointed that the article about the closing of the quilt shop (“Quilt shop to move off-island as building sells,” Feb. 18) lacked much information from the sellers about the sale. I should think the complaint of the changes coming for the quilt shop should be directed to the sellers. It doesn’t seem right to make the persons buying the shop the “bad guys” here. The many letters in last week’s Beachcomber spoke of the economic impact to Vashon of the sale of this property. Were the sellers not aware of this?
Could Island Quilter stay on Vashon? Community sentiment supports keeping the gem that is Island Quilter on Vashon in the heart of town. Most islanders recognize that Island Quilter is a huge asset to Vashon, bringing lots of people here to shop, eat, visit other island businesses, galleries, farm stands and events. Is there any way that the buyers could be helped to reconsider their tone-deaf plan? Could someone step up to help the realtors, buyers and sellers come up with a win-win solution? The loss of Island Quilter would ricochet throughout our island community. Many more would feel its absence than just quilters and sewers. Please let’s bring hearts together to find a community best answer.

IT’S YOUR HISTORY
There’s No Business Like Grow Business
By Chris Austin The expected loss of the island’s beloved quilt shop got me to thinking about other iconic Vashon businesses that have come and gone. One that sprang to mind, opened by Hilen Harrington, got off to a great start because gold miners listened to their mothers and ate their vegetables. In 1878 Harrington arrived from Norwich, New York, bringing his experience in the greenhouse business. Ten years later the Alaska gold rush was on and a princely sum could be had for a fresh tomato or cucumber. The H. Harrington Company with its nine greenhouses was there to meet the demand. Twenty years after the Harrington family moved to Vashon the family of a well-to-do businessman, namely Lewis Cass Beall, Sr, arrived. The family’s first union was through marriage which was followed by a business partnership. In 1921 Hilan Harrington retired and sold his stake in the business. This led to the formation of the business most islanders are familiar with, The Beall Greenhouse Company. By this time 36 greenhouses were built making it the biggest floral operation in the Northwest. Keeping the hot-house flowers happy consumed some 1,400 tons of coal annually. After the Great War many prize-winning flowers, both common and exotic, were grown in the ever-expanding business. In 1938 the third-generation scion, Ferguson Beall, traveled to South America to literally look high and low for orchids. The sought-after flowers grow in jungle environs and up to an elevation of 12,000 feet. Probably the biggest hurdle of the entire trip was dealing with the bureau of entomology and plant quarantine. Each plant had to be studied under a microscope, every insect removed then each type of insect sent to Washington DC for inspection. During the next world war the Beall company hired six different ships to facilitate the safe transport of rare English orchids, protecting them from the Nazi threat (leave it to the Nazis to hate orchids). The delivery of these prized plants would make national news as Universal Studios produced a newsreel of their arrival which would be shown in cinemas throughout the country. After the war came the purchase of large ships’ boilers that burned “black oil” instead of coal. The 1960s proved to be the zenith of the company’s production with half-a-million orchids grown annually and more roses produced than anywhere else in the world. The company was now the largest employer on the island. It also boasted mainland retail shops and a satellite plant in Palo Alto, California - which was established in 1946. The 70s would see more greenhouses built and old ones re-built resulting in 500,000 square feet under glass. But the decade would also bring challenges, not the least of which was the OPEC fuel embargo. In an effort to stay profitable the Palo Alto concern was closed and a new plant opened in Bogota, Colombia. By the early 1980s the nightly fuel bill for the greenhouses was $600.00. As labor prices increased and new environmental regulations became law profitability became elusive. The company did not go down without a fight, however. Experts were consulted and every conceivable crop was considered for production. (Oh to have legal marijuana in the 1980s!) During the company’s final three years people were reluctantly let go and greenhouses were shuttered one by one. In 1989, 101 years after it began, the site was sold. Walking down Beall Road for the first time I was taken aback at the rotting hulks of greenhouses with gnarled trees growing through broken windows. It is hard to imagine they were once filled with delicate, beautiful flowers and warm, moist air redolent with their scent. Send me your topic suggestions on Twitter @ChrisOAustin.

A presentation on the marbled murrelet will be at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Land Trust Building.
Endangered seabird spotlighted in talk Vashon’s Audubon club will host a talk tomorrow evening on the marbled murrelet, an imperiled seabird that depends on oldgrowth forests for its survival. Speaking at the event will be Maria Mudd Ruth, who has written a book about the marbled murrelet, and Paul Kampmeier, an attorney who has represented organizations trying to save the endangered bird. Together the two will cover both the life and history of the secretive and shy seabird and the urgent effort to save its nesting grounds. Ruth is the author of “Rare Bird: Pursuing the Mystery of the Marbled Murrelet,” which traces reports of the bird back to Captain Cook’s discovery on the Pacific Ocean in 1778. It also explores the 19th- and 20th-century naturalists who were unable to piece together clues about the where-
abouts of the birds’ nests for 185 years. Kampmeier, an islander and an attorney at the Washington Forest Law Center, has litigated on behalf of local conservation groups and will discuss efforts by groups such as the Sierra Club and the Seattle Audubon Society to save the marbled murrelet’s nesting habitat on state timberlands in Western Washington. “It should appeal both to birders and those interested in wildlife conservation,” Kampmeier said. The talk is free and is sponsored by the Vashon-Maury Island Land Trust and the Vashon-Maury Island Audubon Society. It will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 5, at the Land Trust Building. Mudd will also have copies of her book available for purchase.

The recycling center at Vashon’s transfer station now accepts clothing, shoes, linens and other textiles for recycling. The textile recycling bin comes as part of King County’s new Threadcycle program, which aims to keep textiles out of landfills. The county’s Solid Waste Division recently partnered with eight local organizations that collect used textiles for either reuse or recycling. It is asking people to bring textiles they may otherwise throw away to recycling bins throughout the county or to seven of its transfer stations. Items in good condition may be put to use, while items in poor condition will be recycled. A range of textiles can be recycled at the transfer station, including clothing, bedding, shoes, stuffed animals and rugs. Items can be in

poor condition — stained or ripped — but items that are wet, mildewed or contaminated with hazardous materials should not be recycled. For more information on what can be recycled, visit kingcounty.gov/threadcycle.
New program lets water taxi riders track the boat The King County Water Taxi’s website has a new feature that allows riders to track the water taxis in real time and have more detailed information when the foot ferries are delayed. The Water Taxi Watch is modeled after the system already used by Washington State Ferries. The site lists planned departure times, actual departure times and estimated arrival times. It also shows vessels’ real-time location, speed and direction. The creation of the new feature was funded by a grant from the Federal Transit Administration. To see it, visit kingcounty.gov/watertaxi. Next month, Vashon riders will be tracking a new water taxi. The Sally Fox will be dedicated on March 28 and will begin service after that.

Criss ALS Medical Fund My mom, Criss Fournier, was diagnosed with ALS, also called Lou Gehrig’s disease, this past May and we are both in need of help. I am her daughter, in my 20s, and left my apartment in the city to move in with her and care for her full time. Since May, 2014, she has progressively needCriss ed more care – we have hired three caregivers. Sadly we cannot afford this care. I cannot pay all of the household bills and the specialized medical care, (tube feeding) diet, care, and many medical appointments to keep her well. Through hospice we are receiving some assistance with medical equipment to keep her breathing and ambulating; however, they do not pay for care or other medical bills. Her medical bills include 20% of the following: BiPAP, Suction, Cough Assist, doctor appointments including PT, General Practitioner, Neurologist. She needs 24/7 caregiving. I am providing all night time care, I need someone with her while I work (40 hours a week). Her current care costs $20 an hour or $3200 a month. We are working on getting Medicaid which has yet to come through. The goal is to be able have full time care for her to stay safe and to provide her with treatment to keep her well as long as possible. I am learning many difficult lessons thoughout this process of caring for my mother. One lesson is how to ask for help and this is were you all come in. My family could really use your help.

Second annual home fair to feature local businesses Local businesspeople who cater to homeowners will be on hand to meet with the public at the chamber of commerce’s Vashon Home Fair this weekend. The home fair will have about 30 booths featuring local designers, real estate agents, architects, engineers, organizers, contractors and more. There will also be activities for kids, music, door prizes and food available for purchase. “When we look at shopping locally, it is not just the businesses in the storefronts, it is also the people you do not see,” said Jim Marsh, director of Vashon’s chamber of commerce. The chamber offered the home fair for the first time last year and about 175 people attended. Nearly all of the vendors gained business from the event. “When you want to hire somebody, that face-to-face meeting is extra important,” he said, “especially if they work on your home.” The fair will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Vashon High School.

VIFR CONTINUED FROM 1
transports to off-island hospitals — which put responders off the island for about three hours at a time — have more than doubled in nearly a decade, rising from 271 ferry transports in 2005 to 714 in 2013. Officials say they’re unsure if numbers will continue to rise, but the trend could be due to the island’s aging population or a result of more people going without health insurance or regular health care. During that time, paid staffing has changed little. “We’ve been running on the same amount of tax levy for a long time,” Lipe said. With two paramedics and two emergency medical technicians (EMTs) on staff at all times, the department can respond to about one and half calls, according to Assistant Chief George Brown, with a half call indicating it is able to send responders to give care but not to take patients to the hospital. Volunteers are often on duty as well, Brown said, making the district able to respond to up to two and a half calls at a time. But when volunteers aren’t available or more calls come in, response times can grow longer. A few times a month, Brown said, the station is forced to put a call out for any Vashon responders who are available, at home or otherwise, to report for duty. “For us, it makes our vulnerability of get-
ting caught without resources to respond much greater. ... I hold my breath quite often hoping my guys get cleared from the previous call,” Brown said. Bolstering VIFR’s abilities and reducing response times could require hiring more responders. But Brown noted the district could also opt to further increase its volunteer program or make more use of private ambulance services. Transferring patients to private ambulances at the ferry dock, he noted, would drastically reduce the time responders spend off-island. However, unlike Vashon transports, private ambulances bill patients for their rides. “The good part is most people now have insurance of some sort,” Brown added. The strategic planning comes just as VIFR is poised to implement a new paramedic program. As soon as this year, Vashon’s paramedics will be absorbed into the rotating South King County Medic One system, a transition some have expressed concerns about but that officials believe will result in better care for patients. Paramedic Andy Johnson, who is also a member of VIFR’s Strategic Planning Leadership Team, said the upcoming transition makes long-range planning even more critical. The move is expected to create a shortfall of about $400,000 in the district’s $4.7 million annual budget, something the agency already helped offset by carving out a $200,000 reserve fund and not replacing an administrative assistant. The South King County paramedics also won’t be trained to fight fires, as Vashon
Wednesday, March 4, 2015 • Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber
paramedics are, and they won’t split up to respond to different calls as they do now. Johnson said he thinks VIFR is currently “on the ragged edge quite a bit” with its response. “I think it would be nice to see a little deeper level of coverage, personally, and frankly I’d be willing to support whatever funding source was needed to make that happen,” he said. “But I also know … you take a certain amount of risk living in a rural community. You’re never going to get Seattle Fire Department level of coverage.” Lipe and other VIFR officials emphasized that the planning effort is not an attempt to build support for more taxes, but to gauge whether Vashon residents are satisfied with VIFR’s current response. The district’s local property tax brings in in about $2.3 million for firefighting and emergency medical services (EMS). The countywide Medic One levy funds paramedic coverage. “People might think this is a mechanism for the district to build a bigger organization, and that’s not it at all,” Lipe said. “We could easily keep this a shell force. … I will give that opinion when I find out what the public wants.” In the coming weeks members of the SPOT group, who have volunteered to work 40 to 60 hours on the project, will compile information and data about the district and decide how to present it to the public as well as how to collect feedback, be it through public meetings, focus groups or surveys. The SPOT group includes paid and volunteer VIFR staff, as well as represen-
tatives of a variety of community groups such as the school district, the senior community, the Hispanic community and VashonBePrepared. Lipe said the district also tried to include a cross-section of islanders, taking into account demographics such as age, income level and political leanings. Other organizations, he said, have incorporated such community oversight into their strategic planning. “I want the highest level of credibility with this process,” he said. “I’ve got one shot at this. When the strategic plan is finished, it is validated by the process.” Feedback compiled by the SPOT group will passed on to the Strategic Planning Leadership Team, which includes Lipe, Johnson, board chair Candy McCullough and two volunteer lieutenants. The team will craft a strategic plan for the next five to seven years to be approved by the fire board, which will also consider whether more tax dollars are in order. “The leadership team will take the goals and information and figure out how to get the most bang for our buck,” said McCullough. Lipe declined to say whether he think the district should beef up, but said he hopes the public will consider the island’s future needs and decide what they want. Any plan created, he noted, could also be revisited in the coming years. “We’re ahead of the curve here,” he said. “We want to get this moving now so we’re not in this emergency reaction mode where we make hard decisions.”

Teens of all races and income levels are at risk for being involved in an abusive relationship. Both males and females can be abused, and both males and females can be the abusers. • 1 in 5 teens (21%) have been in a relationship with someone who tried to prevent them from seeing their family and friends. • 3 out of 5 teens (61%) said that their boyfriend or girlfriend has verbally abused them. • 40% of girls 14-17 say they know someone their own age who has been beaten or hit by their boyfriend. DoVE will use Safe Dates, an evidence-based curriculum for this workshop. It works as both a prevention and intervention tool, with case studies and activities that are relevant for teens who have not started dating as well as those who have been “going out” for a long time. If you are interested in participating in our next workshop on MARCH 14, 2015 please contact tracy@vashondoveproject.org.

Pirate basketball plays first state tournament game tomorrow Andy Sears named Nisqually League Coach of the Year By JAMES NORTON For The Beachcomber
The Vashon boys’ basketball team punched its ticket to the Washington state 1A championship tournament in Yakima this week. This has been an incredible journey, and the Pirates find themselves with a record of 22-1 overall after defeating Kalama High School in the regional round last Friday at Rogers High School in Puyallup by a score of 59-38. This was a loser-out game, and the intensity was up to that reality from the start. It meant the end of one team’s season and the end of a playing career for many seniors. Kalama was the number-four seed from District 4 and had to travel to play Vashon, the number-one seed from District 3 and the third-ranked team in the state overall. That put Kalama in the underdog, spoiler position, and they came out with high energy and fire. The Pirates didn’t match that energy and execution but fought back to even the score, 11-11, at the end of the first quarter. Kalama was surprisingly winning the rebounding battle by playing very physically. The Pirates won the second quarter

League MVP Jesse Norton takes part in tradition and cuts down the net after the district final. by finding a measure of offensive efficiency and took a 26-21 lead into halftime. As is the norm, Coach Andy Sears, who
was named as the Nisqually League Coach of the Year, laid down the law at halftime, and the Pirates responded with a huge third quarter and held a double-digit lead going into the fourth. The Pirates stretched out that lead to the finish and won by 21 points. Sam Yates, Jessie Norton and Ian Stewart led the Pirate charge, and there were big contributions from Alex Symbol, Sam Schoenberg and some much-needed brute force from Darrin May-Power. The Pirates moved on to the 1A “Hardwood Classic” state championship tournament with the win. It is now down to the final eight teams in the state all
vying to be state champs. Over the weekend, the brackets for the final were released, and Vashon will open up against Kingsway Christian of Vancouver. That game is at 7:15 p.m. Thursday and will be broadcast live on the Voice of Vashon. The full bracket can be viewed at wiaa.org. As mentioned, Sears was named Nisqually League Coach of the Year; Jessie Norton was named league MVP; Sam Yates was included on the All-League First Team. Senior Ian Stewart was named to the Second Team along with newcomer junior Alex Symbol. The Pirates were well supported by the Green Tide at these last regular-season games and extend gratitude for those efforts. The team has a mountain to climb to get to the goal of 1A state champions, as all of these final eight teams are talented and accomplished. It will simply come down to which team plays the best in a three-day playoff series. The Pirates are expected to represent their school and community with excellence and passion. Every member of this team and the coaches has put in the work and is up to the challenge of going to Yakima and being the last team standing. — James Norton is the father of player Jesse Norton.
Listen to the game Voice of Vashon will do a live broadcast of the Pirates’ game against King’s Way Christian on Thursday, March 5. The pregame show starts at 7 p.m. and the game at 7:15 p.m. Kevin Linell and John Yates do playby-play on KVSH 101.9 FM, the KVSH App, audio on Channel 21 TV and on voiceofvashon.org.

lane on the dock will be blocked. During the next two phases, from September until about April 1 of 2016, half of the dock will be under construction at a time, leaving just two lanes for traffic and a walkway for pedestrians. During that time, vehicles headed to Fauntleroy will begin lining up on Vashon Highway, and Southworth traffic will line up on 103rd Avenue SW, the hill right by the ferry parking lot. The bottom part of 103rd will become one-way, allowing only downhill traffic. While ferries will still unload two lines of cars at a time during the construction, they won’t be able to load one boat while unloading another, McIntosh said. To help keep boats on time, WSF will tweak the schedule, changing some sailings by 5 minutes but not cutting any runs. “It’s going to be tighter, but we’re adjusting the schedule in 5-minute increments to be as efficient as we can on the dock,� she said. During construction, space at the end of the dock will also be limited, so drivers cannot drop off or pick up passengers there. The terminal will still accommodate dropoff of disabled passengers, McIntosh noted, though they may have to call ahead. She was

on a route already prone to falling behind. “I think people on the island need to understand what’s going to happen and that they’re going to have to have patience, because there is no other option,� he said. McIntosh, who will be at the meeting, said the state determined two years ago that the Vashon ferry dock, which was built in the 1950s, is at risk of failing during an earthquake and should be upgraded. The state will now build large braces at 10 spots along the dock and will replace 200 feet of wooden pilings with new steel ones. The $15 million project is funded through a mix of federal grants and state dollars. “It is one of our highest priorities with respect to seismic concerns,� McIntosh said. “Especially since Vashon is an island, we want to ensure that in the event of a major earthquake, Vashon Island can continue to get service.� During the first phase of construction, mid-June to early September, work will focus on the end of the dock, and one traffic

unsure where drivers might park to drop off or pick up passengers while 103rd is a holding lane, but said that may be addressed at the meeting. Buses will still be able to access the dock during the project, but there will be limited room for large trucks and other vehicles headed to Southworth to turn around on the dock as usual. As a result, vehicles 38 feet and longer will be restricted to six sailings to Southworth per day, when they will be able to drive straight on the ferry. “Six sailings will provide more than enough to get them to Southworth,� McIntosh said. “They’re going to need to be mindful of when those sailings are.� McIntosh noted that while the construction may cause delays, the phase the with fewest disruptions falls during the summer. “We did take that into account,� she said. “We really tried to minimize the impact to the majority of travelers.� She added that by the time the construction starts, work on the sewage pump station at the Fauntleroy dock should have wrapped up. WSF has also requested funding to restore a police officer to direct traffic at Fauntleroy, something the Legislature is currently considering. WSF recently adjust-

ed the Vashon-Fauntleroy-Southworth schedule to try to alleviate the frequent ferry delays, though local ferry advocates believe more needs to be done to keep cars moving at Fauntleroy. “We support having a police officer at Fauntleroy, but it does take Legislative action,� McIntosh said. Beardsley, with the Ferry Advisory Committee (FAC), said early WSF plans included completely cutting some runs to work around construction. However, the citizen advisory group, which included representatives from the Fauntleroy and Southworth FACs, opposed that plan. The state listened to their feedback, Beardsley said, and overall he believes officials have worked to minimize disruption during the project. He called any construction mess better than losing the dock in an earthquake. “This is not a project they can or will put off,� he said. WSF will hold a meeting on the dock construction from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, March 12, at McMurray Middle School. There will be a presentation at 6:30 p.m.

Vashon Island Pet Protectors Serving the Vashon-Maury Community since 1984
We’re looking for forever homes! Born 2007, Pumpkin came to VIPP when his owner died. Now he needs to find a new patch to call home. Pumpkin is a big lug of love and unfazed by most anything. The person who turned him over to VIPP described him as a cat that is more like a door stop that you walk over since he would rather stay put than move. Pumkin would be best indoors since he has allergies to fleas that make his skin break out. He would prefer to sit on your lap and read books or watch movies. Danny Boy came to VIPP when his beloved owners moved to assisted living and could not take them along. Danny Boy is extremely sweet and laid back. He seems to cope very well with new situations. He lived with another cat but they didn’t particularly get along. The pipes, the pipes are calling from glen to glen to find this Danny Boy a new home. Danny Boy came to VIPP on 12-6-14.
