Carving and culture
Local artist works to keep Native traditions alive By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
At the Vashon Forest Stewards lumber yard last Friday, a group of second graders crowded around two 11-foot totem poles in the making. Shuffling their feet in wood chips and occasionally touching the colorfully painted poles, the Chautauqua students peppered the totems’ creator, acclaimed Native artist Odin Lonning, with questions. Most of their queries had easy answers. “Do you ever get splinters?” “How do you make the eyes?” Others, however, were more perceptive. “What are the stories that they tell?” “Do you do it the way that the Indians did it?” Later, Lonning, who is 61, said with a laugh that he enjoys talking about his work with young children. Kids aren’t afraid to ask questions that adults shy away from, he said, and they can be surprisingly insightful. For instance, during a recent First Friday when Lonning had his totem poles on display, a 10-year-old quickly caught on to his description of Native American culture as a “living culture.” “A lot of people think in terms of Native culture as they used to do this, they used to do that,” Lonning said. “But they’re still doing it.” Lonning, an Alaska Native who has lived on Vashon since 1999, is one of a

New teen center aims to be resource for sexual health By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
REMEMBERING THE FALLEN About 150 people attended Vashon’s Memorial Day Ceremony at the Veterans’ Memorial at the Vashon Cemetery on Monday. Highlights of the annual event, organized by the American Legion, included an address by Zach Stackhouse, right, an islander who recently graduated from The Citadel, music by the Judd Creek Gospel Choir, powerful solos of the national anthem and “Amazing Grace” by Abigail Kranjcevich as well as John Dally on the bagpipes and Barry Cooper playing Taps.

Island teens with questions about relationships, sex and sexuality now have new resources for answers: DoVE’s Teen Centre and its confidential texting line. The center, which opened last Friday at DoVE’s office in Courthouse Square, was created in response to requests from teens themselves, said DoVE’s director, Betsey Archambault. DoVE staff and volunteers will be on hand to talk in a confidential setting, and several resources will be available as well, meant to address questions and concerns about a variety of issues, ranging from teen dating abuse and its warning signs to questioning one’s sexuality or coming out. Some free contraceptives will be
available, as will Plan B, an over-the-counter emergency contraceptive. The center will be open to teens on Friday afternoons through the end of the school year and during regular business hours in the summer. The intent is to fill an unmet need and provide teens with accurate information to make the safest, healthiest, most informed decisions possible. “We had been hearing from teens that they do not feel like there is a good place to ask some of the more difficult questions,” Archambault said. “After health class, they do not feel like there is a place to go.” Archambault chairs a sexual health committee, which includes several SEE CENTER, 13

Victim in December accident was driving under the influence The young woman who died in a single-car accident on Vashon last December was intoxicated at the time of the crash, according to a report recently released by the King County Sheriff’s Office. Sierra Marie PedrinLinden, 22, died on Dec. 17 in an accident on Vashon Highway near the north end. She was driving southbound on the highway in her SUV at about 11:30 p.m. when she apparently lost control of the
vehicle, swerving off the road and over-correcting twice before going into a ditch and hitting a tree near SW 140th Street. The vehicle had no passengers, but a dog in the car also died at the scene. A toxicology report showed that Linden had a blood alcohol level of between 0.23 and 0.27, about three times the legal limit. The report by the sheriff ’s office’s Major Accident Response and

Reconstruction unit, which investigated the accident, also noted that it had been rainy around the time and the streets were wet. An islander interviewed by police said she believed Linden had been at Sporty’s that evening and had just picked up her dog. Sporty’s was apparently not investigated by police, and the report gives no other information about where Linden may have obtained alcohol that evening. Jason Stanley, a spokesman for the King County Sheriff ’s Office, said local police agencies do not, except in extreme cases, have the power to sanction bars for over-service. Linden was a 2011 graduate of Vashon High School. She was the caregiver for an autistic young man on Vashon and also worked at Vashon Pizza.

munity spoke to the jurors.” That particular design element was the deep red that was chosen for the school’s exterior as an ode to the idea of the “little red schoolhouse,” Carter said. As noted in a transcript of the award ceremony, many of the building’s other details made an impression on the jury. “The architecture was so exciting,” one juror commented. “Not only could you see it being a great community building and a great process in order to create it, but it also worked at so many levels — from the details, to the plan, to the placemaking. ... All of those things went together to be really successful in the end. It was easy for us to constantly come back and admire it.” Carter credited the Vashon School District as the client, its contractor Skanska and the island community as a whole with the collaboration the team needed to see its visions through. “You can’t do great civic architecture without a client group that wants it, and the district did so well in managing that between Michael (Soltman) and Eric (Gill),” he said. With an emotional nod to Gill, the school district’s capital facilities director who died from cancer in February, Carter said that the award belonged as much to him as it did to his team. “This was his passion. He was on this project for over a decade, and he realized and truly believed in its importance to this community more than anyone,” he said.
The American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) Washington Council recognized the new Vashon High School and its design team at Integrus Architecture with its highest award for civic design at an award ceremony earlier this month. “This is something we are really so proud of,” said Brian Carter, a Vashon architect who led the project’s team at Integrus. “Our design team is very talented and committed to K-12 work. It’s hard for school projects to be recognized like this.” AIA’s Washington Council started the Civic Design Awards Program about 25 years ago as a nod to architecture’s effect on the public realm and its involvement in building community as well as to promote quality design in public projects. To be considered for the awards, designs must be for fully or partially publicly funded projects that demonstrate high standards in sustainability, innovation, building performance and overall integration with the client and the surrounding community. The Civic Design Awards program has three levels of recognition — citation, merit and honor, with honor being the highest. Multiple projects may be recognized in each category, but this year only the Vashon High School project was given the top honor by a unanimous jury decision. “They really seemed to see the things that were important to the firm in the design phase,” Carter said. “The whole tip of the hat to the agrarian nature of the one-room schoolhouse in this small com-

category than last year. Additionally, he said, his work in this area has made him believe that many people do not read the labels on products they purchase, which can lead to use that causes harm. He noted it is actually against a federal law to use such products in ways they were not intended. While he does not want not want to dwell on illegal practices going on in islanders’ backyards, he said common practices should not be ignored. “It’s important to have an educational system that matches the reality of the situation, not what we hope people will do,” he said. In the course of compiling this year’s purchasing guide, Laurie said he and Emerson took note of all the lawn and garden products for sale at island stores, researched their possible effects and categorized them accordingly. They also took care to mention low-impact practices people might not have considered. “People just want something that works,” he added. “There are some products that could be of harm ... and there are safe green alternatives that work.” The sheets are available at Kathy’s Corner, Island Home Center & Lumber, Ace Hardware and The Country Store and Farm.
Islanders concerned about the effects of lawn and garden products can now get updated information at several local stores to help them choose options that are people, animal and earth friendly. A series of information sheets is now available for free at several local stores that sell lawn and garden products. These sheets have been updated from last year and make up a local purchasing guide, with information on weed, pest, moss, insect and disease control. The sheets let people know what practices and products cause low, medium and high environmental concern to help them choose products accordingly. “In a perfect world, we would like to see the stores just carry the green products and make as much money,” said Michael Laurie, who was instrumental in compiling the guide this year, as well as in two previous years. Last year, the information was based on science from the website Grow Smart Grow Safe. This year it is based on guidance from the Pharos Project, run by the Healthy Building Network. Laurie said he and his wife, Diane Emerson, who helped with the project, made that change because they prefer the way the Pharos Project weighs equally concerns for humans, animals and water quality. The result, Laurie said, is that there are fewer products in the green, or low impact,

NEWS BRIEFS Country Store partners with new dry cleaner The Country Store and Farm is now contracting its dry cleaning service with Corry’s Cleaning & Restoration, which has several businesses in the Seattle area. Corry’s purchased the dry cleaning business that had operated out of The Country Store when the business’s owner moved. Customers will pay the same rates they would at Corry’s off-island locations, though they can drop off and pick up at The Country Store. In addition to standard dry cleaning items, leather items, rugs and drapes will be accepted for cleaning services. “We’re very excited to be working with this familyowned company that has set itself apart with hands-on management and environmentally sound practices,” said Country Store owner Mike Biel in a press release. Corry’s is a five-star EnviroStar cleaner and uses biodegradable cleaning solutions and processes that are safe for workers and the environment. Customers can drop off dry cleaning items during regular business hours and expect a one-week turnaround. Rugs will be accepted the first and third weekend of every month; call the store or check its website for details, including cleaning prices.
rhea, on Monday, May 18, when 20 percent of students were out sick at McMurray Middle School and 10 percent were out at the high school. At the same time she sent that out, she said, it became clear that influenza was also spreading. A norovirus infection is typically not serious, with illness lasting one to two days. However, people can be contagious for a few days after they are feeling better, and the district is asking students to stay out for 48 hours after they feel better if they have had stomach flu symptoms. The flu, marked by fever and body aches, can last longer, Day added, and be contagious for five to seven days after onset. To help reduce the spread of illness, people should wash their hands thoroughly, disinfect surfaces that might be contaminated and avoid preparing food for others.
Water taxi cover project delayed A project to install a cover on the King County Water Taxi dock on Vashon’s
north end has been delayed. The project, funded by a small federal grant, was originally slated to begin in April and take about two months to complete. However, when King County bid the project out in March, it received no bids from contractors, according to Paul Brodeur, director of the county Department of Transportation’s Marine Division. Brodeur said local contractors are busy and likely not interested in the small Vashon project. The county is still committed to covering the dock and will bid the project out again next month. If it can secure a contractor this time, Brodeur said, it will try to complete the cover by September, when construction on the car ferry dock is schedule to ramp up. Otherwise, the project will likely have to wait until dock construction ends in spring of 2016. Meanwhile, water taxi ridership was up in April, when the Sally Fox, a newer and larger passenger ferry, came on duty at the beginning of the month. About 17,300 rides were taken on the water taxi in April, compared to about 15,870 in April of last year, an increase of 9.1 percent.

Park district hopes to offer camp for teens and tweens this summer By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
In recent years, some islanders have criticized the Vashon Park District for cutting its program offerings, but this summer, the district hopes to serve island families by offering a summer camp for youth ages 11 to 15. Elaine Ott, the park district’s executive director, said she supports the camp effort, which will allow the district to test the waters for possible future programming as well as respond to critics. “It seemed like a good opportunity to address public requests,” she said. As planned, participants of the camp will do two hours of work in an island park in the morning, such as making a trail, cleaning up or painting signs, will eat lunch at Ober Park with the food bank’s youth program and then spend two hours doing something fun, such as kayaking, paddleboarding or playing beach volleyball, according to camp organizers. Week-long sessions are slated to run from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday from July 20 to Aug. 13. The fee is $200. Participants may also earn community service hours toward their graduation requirement. The organizers behind this effort are Hilary Emmer, who wrote the statement opposing the recent levy in the voter’s guide in part because of the district’s lack of programs, and Kristin Pesman, who headed the Friends of Vashon Parks initiative to
pass the levy. Both women say they have gotten feedback that there are not enough summer offerings for islanders in the preteen and early teen age group, so they designed this camp to address that need. While the district is moving ahead to make the camp happen, it will only proceed if 10 campers sign up for the sessions and camp counselors can be hired. As planned, the camp is expected to cost the district little or to bring in a modest profit. Should all the weeks fill with 10 campers, the cost to the district would be $720, Emmer said. The maximum number of kids who can register is 15 per week, she added, and if all weeks were filled to capacity, the park district would bring in more than $2,600. Organizers say they know many families have already done their summer planning, but they hope those who are interested will step forward and sign up soon, as the deadline to register is June 10. If enough campers sign up, the district will then hire two counselors. Pesman noted that this program would be fun for friends to sign up for together — and that counselors will bring their own spirit to it. “I am sure as we hire counselors, it will take on a life unto its own and turn into something really neat,” she added. To register or for more information, email Emmer at hilonvashon@yahoo.com by Wednesday, June 10.

Dry mouth causes tooth decay. Saliva plays a very important role in protecting the teeth from acid in the mouth. When carbohydrates are consumed, they are converted into acid by bacteria in the mouth. The water and mineral content of saliva serves to wash away acid and rebuild tooth structure. Unfortunately, as we age, saliva flow decreases and many common Marc O. Langland, DDS medications cause dry mouth. Many people grab for hard candies to help alleviate the discomfort of dry mouth but this only compounds the problem and accelerates decay. Consider sugarless candy or gum with xylitol and drink plenty of water.

We can play a part in preventing drunk driving It was difficult to report news this week that a young woman who died in a single-car accident last winter was driving under the influence when she crashed along Vashon Highway. The woman was just 22, and she was well-loved on the island. The last thing the paper wants is to stir grief over this tragic incident. However, this young person’s death is also indicative of a larger and ongoing problem in our society, a problem we can all work to combat. According to the Centers for Disease Control, every day almost 30 people in the Every day almost 30 people United States die in car in the United States die in accidents involving an alcohol-impaired driver. car accidents involving an This amounts to one death alcohol-impaired driver. every 51 minutes. In 2013, This amounts to one death 10,076 people were killed in alcohol-impaired drivevery 51 minutes. ing accidents, accounting for nearly one-third of all traffic-related deaths in the U.S. Despite the dangers, many of us know people who have driven under the influence of alcohol, or perhaps we’ve driven impaired ourselves. It doesn’t take large amounts of alcohol to impair driving. For a 160-pound man, just four beers over the course of an hour can produce a blood alcohol level of .08, the legal limit for driving. A smaller person is impaired after fewer drinks. Those who drive under the influence aren’t necessarily ignorant or careless. Smart, educated people drive drunk. It only takes one bad decision, a brief moment of recklessness to lead to injury or death. A person who drives under the influence is certainly responsible for his or her actions. But those the driver is drinking with, at a home or at a bar, play a role as well. Taking away keys can be unpleasant at the time, but a driver might thank you later. Friends and family who drink together should create a climate where they watch out for one another, assuring that all have a plan for safe transportation. Bars and restaurants also have responsibility. Serving a visibly drunk customer is against the law for good reason, and regular training around this is just as important as the training around checking IDs that the Vashon Alliance to Reduce Substance Abuse (VARSA) has recently promoted. VARSA is making a commendable effort to reduce teen drinking and drug use on Vashon. But volunteers can’t be as close as parents are, and conversations around driving under the influence and its consequences should be common in every household. An incident such as a drunk driving death is a painful reminder of something we already know, that one poor choice can have lasting consequences. Next time you’re drinking or are with others who are, consider the role we all can play in saving a life.

Wednesday, May 27, 2015 • The Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber
At the park district, important questions must be asked and answered In a prior life, I spent millions on television advertising and Sunday coupons to convince Americans to dedicate a greater share of their stomach capacity to the consumption of salty snacks, a karmic crime for which I must atone in many future lives. Remarkably, recent news coverage about fields, the pool and docks brings back a vivid memory. After day-long discussions, our CEO spent 45 minutes reeling off everything he wanted done — all good ideas, all urgent, all important — but far exceeding our financial or human capabilities. My boss, upon whom the CEO fixed his expectant gaze, picked up his many notes, tapped them neatly and put them down again. “You want all these things done,” he said, “in what order?” This question faces the soonto-be-elected new Vashon Park District board. With only a $1 million budget, not even one of the urgent projects could be funded next year. Refurbishing our well-aged public pool would cost several hundred thousand dollars. Fixing collapsing Tramp Harbor dock could cost up to $5 million. It turns out the retaining wall at no-longer-inspirational Inspiration Point is failing. The cost to fix it has not yet been estimated. Re-grassing our playfields — every playfield needs this about every ten years — will cost $60,000. Each. Oh, and the Ober Park building needs a new roof. Elaine Ott, our parks director, rightly believes there are also many small but important upgrades — some repairs, some cosmetic — needed at almost all parks and
COMMUNITY By MARK NASSUTTI facilities. We got a lucky upgrade at Lisabuela thanks to free labor provided by the Civilian Conservation Corps. We can’t bet on getting lucky again. My question to Ms. Ott, the park board and all us Vashonians is this: You want all these things done, in what order? My CEO’s response was, “You tell me.” That forced us to evaluate every item for its impact on key criteria: Quality, brand equity, market share, profitability and employee turnover among them, some purely quantitative, many qualitative. And to prioritize one project before another, we had to be able to say why. We Vashonians have tough choices too, but how will we choose? Every park, facility and program has passionate advocates who will insist that their project must get done. Tradition, fairness, kids and safety will be invoked. We’ll hear phrases like “iconic symbol,” “the public good” and “mission critical.” And should a project get funded based on how many people show up at a park board meeting with signs saying “Hooray For Our Side?” Or be based on board member perceptions that this or that isn’t necessary or is too expensive? How many people will raise

Support student journalists We are writing on behalf of Vashon High School’s student newspaper, asking you to help send our editorial staff to journalism camp this summer. If you have picked up a copy of the VHS Riptide lately, you have seen our work in covering high school and local news in a readable, journalistic style
that informs our readers. We know that what moves a staff from good to great is getting the best education. That was our aim when 12 of our staff attended the Spring Convention with our advisers at Columbia Scholastic Press Association in New York City. The journalistic workshops we attended on Columbia University’s campus in March gave us an incredible opportunity to

STAFF PUBLISHER: ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR: CIRCULATION:
cheers for a new roof? I learned a few things in salty snack land. First, start with mission. Second, look at facts and data: cost (short-term and longterm), durability, current and projected users, current and potential revenue and other funding sources. Try to make apples to apples comparisons, such as calculating net cost per user, which is total costs less revenue divided by the number of documented users. Then look at qualitative measures: impact on public safety and public health, environmental impact, accessibility, teen-friendliness and aesthetic appeal. And ask what happens if we don’t do it. Finally, look at the long-term. I commend Ms. Ott for starting work on a 5-year strategic plan that will answer the crucial question, “If not now, when?” It’s the best way I can think of to produce a plan the majority of Vashonians will see as fair and reasonable. And that — fair and reasonable — should be the number one objective of our new park board. So I urge all of you to challenge each other, and I challenge park board candidates Karen Gardner, Bob McMahon, Peter Ray, Rick Skillman and Joshua Weil, along with incumbents Bill Ameling, Lu-Ann Branch, Scott Harvey, Doug Ostrom and Joe Wald, with the same question my boss asked: “You want all these things done, in what order?” Then tell us, “Why?”

Teaching should go beyond sterile descriptions of relationships

die to ourselves. Every sexual act is an encounter with ourselves, our partner and with the cosmos. By them we either grow closer to or further from nature — and, because nature won’t be reduced to mechanics, the Divine. When male and female conjoin, as world cultures across time attest, they image the Divine. Nature, by her very rules, breaks them: Two become one. In some cases, two become three. In any case, individuality is erased. I’ve said nothing about the same-sex attracted, celibates, infertility sufferers and souls of different stripes. Traditions millennia old have encouraging approaches to the unique way you also may participate in the Divine image. These thoughts come to mind when I read neutral definitions of human sexuality, such as Dr. Archambault’s three weeks ago, that healthy sexuality is about “consensual, respectful and informed” relationships. This is a start, and it is a definition relevant to her work in The DoVe Project (good work relevant to sexual violence certainly). However, using the vague language of law to teach eternal souls just learning about sexuality can be detrimental in its negativity. It can be a bit sterile, like granting them permission for science class, and they are the subjects. It would be a deprivation: like telling neighbors to love each other by not killing them. We can do so much more. — Lauren Sheard
Thank you, Dr. Elizabeth Archambault, for the conversation starter.(“Don’t be hesitant to start the conversation about sex,” May 5). Let’s lay the full picture of sexuality before young people. Young friends know this: Love is central to sexuality. Lifelong engagement with one person will enrich you more than is imaginable. For the sake of your joy, do not settle for anything less. Love calls us forth to escape ourselves, give ourselves,

Levy passage was hardly a victory To quote Mr. Ameling as he took issue with The Beachcomber’s adjectives: “Did it barely pass? Or did it kick butt 60-40?” (“County certifies final park district
levy vote,” May 20). Only Bill Ameling could look at a less than 20 vote margin and see a kick-butt victory. — Connie Dufresne
Politics
The government continues to deny our rights and freedoms The current attempt by this administration and others to pass a trade bill, which was conceived and negotiated in secret, is further evidence that freedom itself is on its death bed in America. It is evidence that the U.S. government is not designed or intended to serve the interests of most citizens, but rather is designed and dedicated to serving the interests of an elite few who have no real interest in seeking or preserving other people’s basic rights, freedom or justice for all. Most Americans have no idea that they are being cheated, miseld, betrayed and misinformed. Some are beginning to connect the dots, allowing the truth to filter through. I believe that one day, more of our citizens will find the courage to face the truth, begin to speak the truth and finally confront those forces that are determined to take away our rights and freedoms. Right now our culture has been corrupted to the point where most citizens can no longer tell the difference between fact or fiction, truth or lies. That reality is beginning to change. The evidence is in the public domain for all to review. It’s about time we accept our responsibility to one another, reorient our priorities and defend our children’s and every other person’s humanity, honor, birthright and dignity.

Sunday, June 7th 4:00-5:30 pm Bethel Church
Just over a year old, this rottie mix Tango loves people, gets along well with other dogs, shows appropriate respect for cats and adores kids. Although he can be a bit shy when meeting strangers, he quickly warms up with an appropriate introduction and will be politely asking for a treat or a ball toss in no time. This active and affectionate young boy will need plenty of exercise and “loving up” time every day… and like all of our dogs, a home that is committed to caring for him as a central part of the family.

When Logger Heads Roamed the Island Did you know that logging is considered an extraction industry? Having been a dentist for ten years I know a little something about the extraction industry and thought this might make an interesting subject this week. When George Vancouver and his boatload of Limeys cruised around Vashon they must have been slack jawed in amazement at the size of our trees. Maritime nations such as Great Britain need ships, big ships, and big ships need big trees. With Europe picked clean of old-growth timber, if the British wanted a Douglas Fir they could either plant a seed and wait a hundred years or find ones already ripe for the plucking. So how big is this tree we call Doug? You can find them today almost 250 feet tall with a diameter of 6 feet in old growth forests and some have been documented up to nearly 400 feet with a diameter of twenty feet. Anything this large is difficult to imagine for most folks so to put it in perspective an average Douglas Fir would make: 650,500 wooden cribbage boards or 290,500,000 wooden nickels or, in a salute to his acting style, 12,050 wooden Steven Seagals, give or take a Seagal. The Brits never got their mitts on our wood, in fact nobody logged the island until around 1865 when Matthew Bridges became the island’s first crazed, ax wielder (OK he wasn’t crazed but that just sounds cooler). Logging has never been an occupation for the faint of heart. In 1877 the Weekly Intelligencer reported on several events around Washington Territory. One article described how a shifting log broke a lumberjack’s leg and it was the third such accident in three weeks on Vashon. Another mishap occurred when a tree fell in an unexpected direction and killed one ox instantly and nearly killed a second ox and the bullwhacker who was handling them. A doctor arrived on island a day later and even he was surprised the man survived. Felling a tree in the right direction is critical as many YouTube videos can attest. It is not easy to turn a 300-foot tree 90 degrees inside a forest. Trees were chopped in such a manner as to fall in either the direction of the water or the sawmill. Once on the ground the log was greased and hooked to a team of animals to be hauled up a path called a skid road. Some of our current roads, such as Cedarhurst Road, started out as a humble skid road. When the topography got too steep for draught animals a steam donkey could be used. Besides being a great name for a punk band, a steam donkey was an engine installed at the top of a hill. Lines were then attached to the greased log and the little engine that could chugged away, pulling the multi-ton tree up the incline. And while we are on the subject, greasing a log must be a weird job. I don’t know exactly how you’d do it but I imagine telling someone you are a professional log greaser must stop a conversation cold. Logs that were transported to the water were typically floated away to Seattle or Tacoma to meet their growing construction needs but some were towed as far away as San Francisco. Trees that made it to the sawmills on the island were hewed into boards or split into shakes. The mills themselves had an interesting business model. They would set up amongst the trees and slowly clearcut, radiating outward. Eventually it made more sense to move the sawmill than haul the wood over long distances so they’d pick up stakes and transport the whole shebang. Modern logging would arrive with the invention of the chainsaw. The time it took to cut down a tree decreased dramatically as did the time left for harvesting trees on Vashon. The industry experienced a slow decline from the 1920s to the 1950s and eventually all the lumberjacks left for barkier pastures. Send me your topic suggestions at www.chrisaustinmedia.com

Seattle performance artist joined by local talent By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
Spoken word, live music, narrated memoir with cartoons, photos and maps, personal objects given away — let’s just say performance art is the name of the game beginning at 7 p.m. Friday at Hastings- Cone Gallery. Seattle performance artist and writer Rachel Kessler will present her new manuscript, “Christian Charm Workbook: Leaving and Belonging,” a work in progress that combines an interactive reading with visual references all in the vein of Tina Fey’s “Bossypants” and Caitlin Moran’s “How to Be a Woman.” But that’s not all. Joining Kessler for this multi-media extravaganza are three local writers — Merna Hecht, Janie Miller and Liz Shepherd — plus guest musicians Kat Eggleston, Charles Reed and Michael Whitmore. Kessler’s piece is about growing up in Seattle in the 1960s and 70s with activist hippy parents seeking both a spiritual life as Jesus People and a place in the local music scene. Striking out on her own in the 1990s, Kessler landed in riot grrrl punk rock feminism, eventually settling down in Seattle to raise her two daughters. “I had kids and became more focused on my writing and performance art,” she said. “For a long time, I blamed the
Rachel Kessler
church for my adolescent angst, but my daughters have grown up in a nonchurch environment, and I watch them go through the same pain. It’s been eyeopening.” A press release describes Kessler’s work as an examination of the intersection of
religion and puberty “drawing on neuroscience about the teenage brain and old stories of saints and other spiritual seekers who began having visions around the onset of puberty.” Her work has appeared in USA Today and other publications, as well as the Henry Art Gallery and Frye Art Museum. “Rachel is well recognized as a poet and performer in Seattle with a great body of work,” said Shepherd, the Northwest Film Forum’s youth programs director and former Beachcomber arts editor. “She wanted to perform on Vashon and involve Vashon people.” When asked why she chose to introduce her new work on the island, Kessler gave a nod to the island’s talent. “I’ve always been fascinated by Vashon — all the artists and writers. I also wanted Liz to tell her stories about being a children’s film programmer and about giving away things. I’ve heard Janie read her poetry and seen her slide show and selfishly wanted to hear more, and I’ve known Merna through the Writers in the Schools programs. She’s been an important mentor to me.” Hecht will read a piece about her recent visit to Guernica, Spain, on the 78th anniversary of the city’s bombing during World War II. She plans to show slides about the bombing, hopeful aspects of the Guernica Peace Museum and Picassco’s painting that memorialized the atrocity.
“Given my work with high school-age refugees who have all experienced violent conflicts in their home countries and my interest in educating young people to be informed citizens ... able to work toward a far more peaceful world than at present, I had long wanted to visit Guernica and the Peace Museum,” Hecht wrote. Miller is a poet and essayist who recently moved to the island. She directs poetry studies at the University of Washington, teaches at Richard Hugo House and is working on a manuscript exploring extinction. In an email Miller wrote, “My slide show performance will continue these threads: using the performance of text as an image to explore the erasure of species and our relationship to nature. As for Shepherd, she will make Kessler wait a bit longer for her stories about being a film programmer. She described her own performance as a piece about objects that shape people’s lives, “what we try to hold on to, what I’ve collected over the years. And then I’ll give some of them away,” Shepherd said. “It’s about loss and life, the experiences of people who have reached an age where they begin to lose people they love.” While donations will be gratefully accepted, the show is free and according to Shepherd, “should be an unusual, fresh literary event that is interactive and deeply connected to the audience.”
New book heralds the ABCs of beloved Vashon landmarks By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
In a whimsical and colorful celebration of place, a new book, “V is for Vashon,” is the collaborative effort of three islanders working in the arts. The paintings are by Pam Ingalls, words by Tom Conway and design by illustrator and book designer Annie Brulé. The creative trio will read and sign copies of “V is for Vashon,” published by Chatwin Books, at 6 p.m. Friday at the Vashon Bookshop. Given the island’s signature bumper sticker “Keep Vashon Weird,” a book that heralds the area’s quirky landmarks and unique geography — one for each letter of the alphabet — easily falls into the category of no-brainer. At least that’s how Brulé, co-founder of Chatwin Books, felt when she saw an online preview last November of Ingalls’ exhibit “V is for Vashon” at The Hardware Store Restaurant gallery. “When Pam sent out her email announcement, I had my publishing brain going, and the show seemed like a natural for a book,” Brulé said. Brulé added that she called Ingalls and had a short conversation, as she said yes. But that conversation was followed by many suggestions from viewers of the show. While the letter “K” in Ingalls’ ABCs of Vashon Island does not stand for keeping Vashon weird, it does represent KVI Beach. “B”is for Bicycle Tree; “G” is for Granny’s Attic, and “J” is for Jesus Barn. More obvious choices are “F,” which is for ferry in the fog, or “D” for deer, but in a surprise to some, “U” is for the obscure sculpture at the airport called the UFO. “That was my favorite,” Conway said, “because I didn’t know about it. So it was a discovery for me and fun to play with.” Ingalls laughed when she said Conway’s prose about aliens from the UFO explained a lot about Vashon, adding

A reading for the new book will be held on Friday. how much she appreciated collaborating with him. “He’s an amazing guy,” Ingalls said. “Everyone who knows him just loves him. I’ve wanted to work with him for a long time, but it was my partner Michael Monteleone who suggested Conway. Michael’s a filmmaker and had the original idea of an ABC film about Vashon. Though Conway has lived on the island for 11 years, he’s been visiting for over 25. As a commuter to jobs at Alaska Airlines and Expedia, Conway decided five years ago to jump ship
and try to make his “life work where (he) lives.” He’s now employed by Herban Bloom, grows flowers for the wholesale trade and writes a blog called Tall Clover Farm. He was intrigued when Ingalls asked him to write the words to accompany her paintings. “I like writing that kind of prose, “ Conway said. “The book had restricted space with an image to play upon, and I couldn’t love Vashon more, so it was the perfect undertaking. I would make copies of the paintings on a note pad, then chew on the images for a while. I wanted to be as true to the painting and as true to the perception of place or persona as possible.” Ingalls has known Brulé, who grew up on Vashon, since she was 12 and calls her a delightful friend. “I was thrilled when Annie wanted to lay out the book. I know how much work it takes, and she was really patient, plus Annie’s a Vashonite. She knows.” Brulé says she has a long, rich and deep art connection with the island, so she is particularly excited about bringing out “V is for Vashon.” It is also the first art book Chatwin has produced, kicking off an art series for the publishing house. “Two of our first three art titles are Vashon artists,” Brulé said. “We saw ‘V is for Vashon’ as a sweet way to make Pam’s work available to those who connect with her paintings but may not be able to collect them. There are so many fans of Pam and of Tom’s blog and lovers of Vashon. This really was a project born out of love,” Brulé said. “V is for Vashon” will be available at area bookstores but Brulé said the target audience, for obvious reasons, is the people of Vashon. Conway concurred. “I think what is particularly fun about the book is the way you see these stories unfold,” he said. “I recently listened to someone talk about the post office, and it was almost verbatim of what I wrote. I love the everyday stories. They’re a nice reminder that we live in a special place.”

Clothing Books Art The Onlies will play on Vashon to benefit the Rock Island String Collective.
Seattle group plays Vashon fundraiser In a benefit concert for the Vashon group Rock Island String Kollective (RISK), the Seattle band The Onlies will bring their original and fiddle-driven music to Havurat Ee Shalom from 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday. Garfield High School juniors Riley Calcagno, Sami Braman and Leo Shannon have played music together since they were 2 years old. All versatile musicians, they switch between singing and playing fiddle, guitar, mandolin and banjo. The Onlies recently released their third album at Town Hall Seattle to a crowd of over 700. RISK began six years ago with the goal of encouraging teens to keep playing their instruments. Over the years, RISK has developed into a group that welcomes a range of instruments, including violin, viola, cello, guitar, ukulele, mandolin, banjo and harp. RISK seeks to provide a fun, light-hearted environment for musicians of all ages and stages to play and learn together. Two years ago, RISK Jr. began in association with RISK but for elementary-aged students. Kim Thal and Sarah Perlman gear the program towards grades three to five. Though Thal and Perlman teach the RISK Jr. students at Chautauqua Elementary, the program is not affiliated with the school. RISK and RISK Jr. provide low-cost group music lessons for Vashon residents who might not have the opportunity or funds for private lessons. The groups are open to all. Suggested donations for the concert are $10 for youth and $15 for adults, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Advance tickets are available at the Vashon Bookshop.

Vashon Allied Arts’ musical, “Shrek Jr.,” will be performed this weekend.
Musical puts playful spin on classic movie for kids In a playful spin on the popular Dreamworks movie “Shrek,” Vashon Allied Arts’ youth production of “Shrek Jr. The Musical” will call into question the nature of true love in two performances slated for this weekend. Directed by Marita Ericksen, the Vashon Allied Arts’ production is a comedy that gently reveals the shallowness of outward appearances. A cast of 25 students in grades four through 12 will perform the rock and jazz songs in this 90-minute adaptation of the musical by Jeanine Tesori and David Lindsay-Abaire. The title character of Shrek will be played by Josiah Sprute-Boyajian, with Alivia Jones in the role of Princess Fiona. The sibling duo of Laura and Evan Erickson will play the wise-cracking donkey and narcissistic Lord Farquaad, respectively. Betsy Frazee is in charge of costumes, while Mick Etchoe is stage manager. The show is suitable for all ages. Showtimes are at 7 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at the Vashon High School theater. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for VAA members and seniors and $6 for students and are available at the Blue Heron, vashonalliedarts.org and at the door.

school district professionals and community members, and has worked with that group over the last year to create a new plan for the district regarding how it teaches sexual health. In the course of that work, she said she talked to many teens, who made clear their needs were not being met. She and others on the committee also heard about some situations involving teens that concerned them, she said, including unanswered questions, teens becoming sexually involved with people they met online and a practice called “nudes or nah,� where teen boys ask girls to send naked pictures of themselves. Now, Archambault said, teens will have a designated free, non-judgemental place to go and find people trained to deal with their concerns and questions. “I am not saying I can solve all these
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
problems,� Archambault added. “What we are doing is creating another access point in the community for teens to feel safe.� No subject will be off limits. “We do talk about the difficult stuff,� she said. “We do it without judgment.� Staff and volunteers will not tell teens what to do, she said, but encourage them to talk about what their concerns are. “We are not going use shaming language for asking a question,� she added. “We are providing a safe space for teens to ask what they need to ask.� Among the people ready to help at the center is DoVE’s first teen advocate, Maijah Sanson-Frey, a freshman who recently completed her advocacy training with DoVE. As a fellow teen, she said she understands many of the pressures facing her peers who might want to come by. Some people might not want to talk to her, she said, precisely because she is another teen. But others might. “If people do, I am at least there,� she

said. Sanson-Frey said she, too, believes students are not getting as much information at school as they would like. Although she has not had health class yet at the high school, she said that the classes she has taken previously did not include information on what makes healthy and unhealthy relationships, and that information alone could be valuable for teens. Sanson-Frey’s mother, Nyn Grey, is a part-time advocate at DoVE and explained that while DoVE’s mission to serve survivors of domestic violence is vitally important, so is promoting awareness and knowledge about healthy relationships to people at a young age. “It is advocacy on the foundational level,� she said. She added that when teens come in, they do not need to talk to anybody — they can spend time reading materials or simply take what they need, whether it be information, condoms or Plan B, or they can stay and talk.
“What we are offering is a non-judgemental space with honest information and non-judgemental advice about healthy relationships and realities about sex,� she said. In addition to the center, teens can also ask questions of a DoVE staff member anonymously just be texting the question. Teens can ask anything, Archambault said, and they will receive accurate, unbiased answers, which will be completely confidential. “Teens that are not ready for sex are not going to go out and have it,� Grey added about the new services. “But when they are ready to have it, they will be prepared and empowered.�
Teen Centre hours are 3 to 5 p.m. Fridays during the school year and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday during the summer. The office is located at Courthouse Square. The teen text line is 301-541-DOVE.

Three Pirates head to state track and field competition this week By CARRIE VAN BUREN For The Beachcomber
The West Central District III Championships meet at North Mason High School served up equal helpings of exultation and frustration for the eight Pirate track and field athletes who tested their skills in 11 different events there last Friday and Saturday. The top two finalists in each event move on to compete in the WIAA State Championship meets this weekend. Friday’s Pirate action on the track began with tri-district veteran Annika Hille propelling herself to a second-place finish and personal record (PR) of 12.63 seconds in the girls’ 100-meter dash. Next, Gerry Gerrior finished his successful freshman season in the sprint lanes by taking fifth place in the boys’ 100-meter race in 11.97 seconds. Sophomore Aria Mildon continued her trend of ever-faster times in the 3,200-meter event as she finished in seventh place and posted her first sub13-minute finish in that race to date. The final running event for the Pirate girls that day featured Hille, Emily Browne, Annie Muller and Eva Anderson in the 4x100 meter relay, which despite a series of fine handoffs of the baton, left them with a third-place finish and just out of contention for a place at State. The girls’ long jump event — or rather the short jump event — featured a series of less-than-stellar leaps for all the competitors involved, but ultimately gave Hille another coveted second-place finish with a jump of 14-10 1/3. Annie Muller completed her season of jumping in fifth place with a distance of 14-4 1/4. Day two of competition started with Pirate field events and a successful day on the runway for Emily Browne, who captured first place and took the top of the podium as district champion in the girls’ triple jump event with a leap of 31-7. Anna Ryckman also saw success with a jump of 30-1, to put her in fourth place. Teammate

Eva Anderson makes her move to take second place in the 800 meter race last Saturday. Kat Andrus, who had great success in the triple jump event through much of the season, was out of both the running and the leaping with a leg injury. Next door in the throwing arena, Natalie VanDevanter demonstrated her recent gains in technique and control, as well as a PR throw of 86-1 in the girls’ discus. She took fifth place in that event. Next, kudos went to Eva Anderson, who shaved a whopping 10 seconds off of her best time in the 800-meter event, putting

her pedal to the metal around the final turn in the two-lap race to pass two opponents and close in on second place. Later, Anderson ran a solid 1,600-meter race, taking seventh place. In the boys’ 200-meter dash, Gerry Gerrior was a bit too eager to move off the blocks and experienced the agony of a false start and the inevitable disqualification from the race for the second round. Minutes later, a determined Hille kept her cool and bolted to her third second-place finish for the meet in the girls’
200-meter race in 26.01 seconds. Fellow islander and track veteran Abi Kim continued her reign over several events as she won the district championship in the 100-meters, 200-meters and long jump. Kim thrilled the crowd with her prowess and her PR in the 200 as she glided to first place in 24.81 seconds — a full second faster than any other girls’ 200-meter sprinter in state 1A competition. In the final event of the meet, Kim anchored her Seattle Christian 4x400 meter relay team to a second-place finish and a berth at State. Island racer Graham Peet, a senior at The Northwest School, has also qualified in his district to compete in the 1,600-meter and 3,200-meter events at State. Three Pirates are now preparing for the trek across the state to Cheney, led by coaches Marcella Murphy and Kevin Ross: Hille in the 100-meter, 200-meter and long jump events, Anderson in the 800-meter race and Browne in the triple jump event. Head Coach Murphy, who has accepted a teaching position at Mount Si High School next fall noted her pride in those who advanced. “First-year track athlete Eva Anderson amazed her coaches and fellow competitors with a huge PR in the 800 meters, senior Emily Browne, a first-year triple jumper, won the triple jump by a foot, and junior Annika Hille is making her third consecutive appearance at State this year. I am eager to watch these three athletes compete in Cheney this weekend and am so proud of all they have accomplished. It will be a great end to my coaching career here at Vashon,” she said. The state meet includes competition among 1A, 2B and 1B high schools and is held at Eastern Washington University. Competition commences Thursday morning and will close on Saturday evening.

Pirate baseball player Lacrosse Vultures end season at top of division team named league MVP Small held its own all Vashon senior Josh Hruska Myer was named the Nisqually League MVP for baseball for the 2015 season. The Pirate has been a varsity starter for four years and racked up amazing statistics in pitching, fielding and hitting throughout his career. The Vashon coaching staff appreciates Myer for his hard work, dedication and leadership, said head coach Steve Hall. “His brilliant job on the mound along with his bat and play at first and third have earned him several Josh Hruska Myer awards over his years as a Pirate. He has had a truly remarkable high school career, and we’ll really miss him,” Hall said. Seven other Pirates received honors from the coaches of all the Nisqually league teams: Logan Hawkins, first team pitcher; Sam Schoenberg, first team outfield; Harper Whitney, first team designated hitter; Chester Pruett, second team catcher; Clyde Pruett, second team infield; Ashton Dulfer, second team pitcher and Simon Perrin, honorable mention outfield.
season The Vashon High School boys’ lacrosse team ended its season last week after a loss in the playoffs to powerhouse Juanita High School. Olympic division champions for the second year in a row, Vashon hosted Juanita in the first round of the playoffs, looking to move forward in the tournament. Vashon played inspired lacrosse and took an early 3-1 lead in the game after two goals by Ezra Ende and a goal by Winter Krimmert. Unfortunately for Vashon, Juanita had numbers on its side, and the Vashon club struggled to match the visiting team’s fresh legs. Juanita evened the score and extended its lead with the first half ending 6-3 in favor of the visitors. After exchanging goals for much of the second half, Vashon made a late fourth-quarter run, closing the gap to two goals.

Winter Krimmert faces off in the team’s final game against Juanita. Krimmert was among the four Vultures who received all-conference honors. Juanita weathered Vashon’s attack and added two tallies to end the game 14-10. Despite the early playoff loss, Vashon had an extremely successful season, finishing 12-3 in the regular season and clinching the top place in the Olympic conference for the second year in a row. Additionally, four players from Vashon received all-conference honors. Seniors Chance Krimmert,
Winter Krimmert and Ezra Ende all were awarded First Team all conference honors, while sophomore Dawit Tuller-Ross was voted Second Team all conference. Head coach Daniel Macca noted his pride in the team’s accomplishments this season. “I am extremely pleased with the season as a whole and the development of our players. We started the sea-
son with high aspirations that at the time seemed almost unrealistic. This group of players worked incredibly hard to improve, and their effort shows in our results,” he said. “Understand that having four players receive allconference honors represents a quarter of our team. That’s almost unheard of. We had an extremely small team in terms of numbers, yet we not only competed all season with larger teams, we defeated nearly all of them. There wasn’t a game this season that we weren’t competitive or that we didn’t have a chance to win.” Macca added that Vashon Lacrosse would like to thank outgoing board President Charlie Krimmert and Vice President Laura Neuman for their hard work. The board will name new officers in June and is looking to add members. Anyone interested in supporting youth lacrosse on the island is encouraged to contact Vashon Lacrosse club through its website, vashonlacrosse.net

ARTIST CONTINUED FROM 1
contingent of Native people who are still “doing it.” The award-winning artist has spent decades creating a variety of Native artwork, hoping to help sustain traditions and raise awareness about the tribes of Alaska, Canada and the Pacific Northwest. “That’s why I’m proud to do this,” he told the second graders last week. “To keep the traditions alive, which they are.” The poles Lonning is currently creating mark not only his seventh and eighth totems, but one of his most interesting projects to date. This summer, the poles will be installed at a historical hotel in downtown Seattle. Just a block away from Pike Place Market, the hotel was constructed in 1908 but purchased in 1962 by the Archdiocese of Seattle, which renovated it for low-income housing. A few years ago, a new parish, Christ Our Hope Catholic Church, began meeting on the ground floor of the building, and recently the church decided to renovate the building’s neglected totem room, a large meeting room that once held an elaborately decorated fireplace flanked by two large totem poles. While the fireplace has long been destroyed, the church does have photos of it. The original terra cotta totem poles, as was the practice decades ago, carried designs that would mean little to local Native people because they were either from another region or were simply made up by the artist. “We think they were done in studios back East,” said Pete Mills, the parish’s volunteer coordinator for the renovation. With encouragement from Lonning, the church decided to create something more meaningful than the original poles.

A 10-foot totem he created in 2005 was installed at Everett Community College, and a large carved panel featuring the killer whale has been on display at the Seattle Aquarium since 2007. While Native art has some presence in the Seattle area, Lonning said he often hears from people who notice there is much more Native art in public places and galleries in Alaska, Canada and the Southwest. For a variety of reasons, Native culture is much quieter in Washington, Lonning said, noting that an annual pow wow once held in Seattle didn’t happen last year, and there’s little to no Native representation at popular events such as the Torchlight Parade. “I’m tired of Native people being invisible,” he said. While public installations of Native art help, Lonning said he also places great importance on education and takes any chance he gets to do cultural and environmental education. He and his wife Anne “Orca Annie” Stateler run the nonprofit Vashon Hydrophone Project, through which they do educational outreach in addition to collecting data on Puget Sound’s resident orcas and performing marine mammal rescue on Vashon. But lately, Lonning said, he has felt a growing obligation to pass on his own carving skills and knowledge to Native people in Seattle. He plans to begin teaching Native art and culture classes at Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center in Seattle, a next phase of his career that he hopes will result in more Native artists. “If you have a skill or knowledge, you should pass it on,” he said. “No one else has really stepped up to do it. … That’s why I’m going to hopefully be that connection.”
