As CERT changes hands, volunteers continue to prepare for the worst Couple led the program for more than a decade By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer

Under Sunday’s bright afternoon sun, a group of people, flanked by horses and their riders, made their way across an island field, eyes cast down, searching the waist-high grass for a missing person, a role played by a 3-foot stuffed mouse. The scene was an exercise for CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) volunteers, one of many sessions that active CERT volunteers attend throughout the year. Some 45 people attended, though

notably absent were the two people who headed CERT for more than a decade: Catherine and Michael Cochrane. Indeed, there has been a changing of the guard at CERT, and Jan Milligan, the new CERT manager, was one of those in charge on Sunday. She stepped into the volunteer manager role completely on May 1, after a long transition period with the Cochranes, who asked if she would take over the program. “I was pretty intrigued,” Milligan said in a recent interview. “I knew it was a good fit for my skills, but I had to think hard about all the pieces and time involved. I knew it would take a team of people to replace what SEE CERT, 20

Quilt shop to reopen in former doctor’s office Owner hopes hosting retreats will help the business succeed By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer

MOVING UP: A BIG MOMENT FOR THE CLASS OF 2015 Vashon High School’s class of 2015 graduated under sunny skies on Saturday at the high school stadium. The ceremony, in turns spirited, funny and solemn, featured several speeches. In an opening address, Principal Danny Rock said he has been impressed at how this year’s graduating class — 127 students in all — has handled both academic challenges as well as personal ones. “School is both preparation for life, and it is life itself,” he said. History teacher Jason Butler, chosen by students as the faculty speaker, gave a speech filled with quips and jokes. “I will miss most of you, but all of you make me a better person,” he said. He encouraged graduates to be true to themselves and to be open to finding their vocations — not their jobs, but their callings. “Without the development of character and the inner you, you likely won’t recognize your vocation when it comes to present itself,” he said. Valedictorian Aaron Kitchener said it felt like just a short time ago that he and his classmates were running around the playground together. “Remember your roots and all the people who helped you along the way,” he said. Pictured above, Ellen Chappelka’s smile captures the spirit of the day. For more on graduation, see page 15.

Island Quilter, which closed its doors in April with plans to move off-island, will reopen on Vashon later this month. The store will open as soon as this weekend in the former Vashon Family Practice building on the southern edge of town. In the midst of renovations last week, owner Anja Moritz spoke about possibilities there. As the space is considerably smaller than the store’s former home, she is unsure if she will be able to hang shows, and she will carry only about three-quarters of the considerable amount of fabric she previously offered. However, the space will allow her to hold quilting retreats, complete with accommodations for people to stay over-

night, a plan she hopes will help cover the higher rent, and enable the business to remain on the island. “I think it is going to be really gorgeous,” she said. “I think it is coming together quite nicely.” Moritz and her partner Paul Robinson, who works in the store, are trying to open in time for the Western Washington Quilt Shop Hop, a five-day event that typically brings hundreds of people to the island and last year provided nearly 10 percent of their annual income, Moritz said. The dates are June 24 to 28, and Moritz expressed reservations about being able to complete the renovations in time, making it impossible for her to advertise that they will be open, but she said islanders will know when they are ready for customers. “Whenever our ‘open’ flag hangs out, that is when we are there,” she said. A grand opening is set for July 11. Earlier this year, as news SEE QUILT SHOP, 19

After six years tending to island women’s health care needs, nurse practitioner Kimberly Valencia is closing her practice at Vashon Women’s Health Center. “I have struggled with making this decision,” she said on Monday. “I wavered for a while, but I came to the realization there is nothing more I can do to make this work.” Despite a robust patient load of teens and women, Valencia has been frank about the financial struggles of her work, and in February, she dropped insurance and began a fee-for-service practice. She said then she would give that effort six months and make further changes if necessary. At first, she said, she did not lose many patients, but then that number increased. And some of those who tried submitting claims to their insurance experienced difficulty. “It was not a smooth, easy process,” she said. Contributing to the financial strain she experienced, Valencia said, is that the clinic had a high number of patients on Apple Health, or Medicaid, which pays providers poorly for their services. “I feel the worst for those people,” she said, noting that many cannot afford to go off-island for care. “It’s going to be a hard-

ship for a lot of people. It already is with our situation on Vashon.” She noted, too, that working with insurance companies created a lot of frustration. There is considerable paperwork, she said, and the insurance companies frequently question decisions and make practitioners try options the companies suggest, whether it be for medications or imaging studies. “It’s like you can’t practice the way you’ve trained to practice,” she said. Last week, Valencia sent out an email informing people of her decision. She noted that over the course of the next month, she will still be able to care for patients on a part-time basis to help with the transition. People can also request their records now, and she will make referrals and recommendations for patients’ continued care if they request it. While she is leaving, the other providers at the clinic — physical therapist Andra DeVoght, massage therapist Caroline Sias and therapist Liz Brenneman — will continue to see patients there. Next for Valencia, she said, is finding a job, ideally in a primary care clinic somewhere close to Vashon. “I really gave it everything I have,” she said.

Food bank hires new executive director By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Wtier

The Vashon Maury Community Food Bank has selected a new executive director with more than 30 years of experience in nonprofit leadership. Robbie Rohr took the reins of the agency last week, after rising to the top of pool of excellent candidates, according to food bank board President Susan Flores. She replaces former director Yvonne Pitrof, who recently stepped down after more than 10 years at the helm of the nonprofit. “Her skill level is exemplary, and she has a calm demeanor and a willingness to listen, learn and understand,” Flores said about Rohr. “The board is excited about what she will do for us in the next few years.” Prior to applying for the food bank position, Rohr, who has a master’s degree in social work, ran her own consulting business, with specialities that included providing interim executive director leadership. Her most recent interim appointments include

Robbie Rohr DAWN (the Domestic Abuse Women’s Network) in Tukwila and the Wonderland Developmental Center in Shoreline. She has also served as the executive director of Cancer Lifeline, the Center for Human Services and the Executive Alliance, a nonprofit membership association she helped create to advance the nonprofit sector. Rohr said she has always had a strong sense of social justice, and when she attended Earlham College, a Quaker school in Indiana, she felt among kindred spirits, as there was a sense of joy and an appreciation of

life and personal responsibility to make life better for people. “Since then I have learned that it is all about compassion,” she said. In an interview last week, Rohr had been on the job only three days, but her first impressions were positive. “I don’t think I have ever had so much fun in my first three days as I have here,” she said. On a more serious note, she said believes that the food bank is healthy, and she spoke highly of the board, staff and volunteers, some of whom have given their time there for years. “The big picture is good,” she said. At the same time, she has ideas for change at the agency. “There is a lot of potential to do more,” she said. “There are a lot of ways to interpret its mission.” Some of the tasks she would like to take on, she said, are changing some of the norms of how people think about who uses the food bank and why, and getting more people involved in the agency’s work.

“A philosophy I have for successful nonprofits is what you do is continue to grow the circle of people who are stakeholders in the organization,” she said. She sees nonprofits as having concentric circles of people invested in them, she said, starting with clients, staff, board and volunteers, then moving outward to donors, partner agencies and others. “I want to help to find more people, businesses and individuals, who want to see (the food bank) as part of their life,” she said. For some, that might mean contributing financially, and for others it could mean volunteering or dropping food off regularly. Saying she is “not a city girl,” Rohr has been coming to Vashon since she moved to the area for graduate school at the University of Washington decades ago, and is pleased now to be working here, and at the food bank in particular. “I think this is a really good place for me,” she said. “It’s an exciting place with lots to do and good people.”

Free lunches and activities in the park to resume next week The second season of Picnics in the Park, sponsored by the Vashon Maury Community Food Bank, will be offered five days a week this summer, beginning Monday, June 22. “The program was a big hit last year, so we’re really looking forward to building on those successes,” said Emily Scott, who manages the food bank’s volunteer program. The program, free and open to all children and teens, regardless of their family’s income level, will include bagstyle lunches and a variety of activities, including reading, origami lessons, clowns and live music. The program was launched last year to help ease financial strain on the food budgets of low-income families when their children were not receiving meals in school, as well as provide enriching, fun activities. To take away any stigma, the lunches were open to all children, with a donation jar set out for those who could pay. It was a hit, Scott said, and quickly expanded from three days a week to four, typically drawing more than 30 people, though the highest number of people that attended was 60. Mostly people with young children went, Scott said, but few Spanish-speaking families. This year food bank staff plan to do more outreach, in particular to families whose children are eligible for free and reduced lunch and encourage them to come. On Vashon, that is one in every four children. “We want to eliminate any barriers they might have for getting their children to the park,” she said. The program’s coordinator, Erin Martin, is new this year and started last week, Scott said. She will have plenty of room in the lunch schedule for youth or adults who would like to lead an activity. More than one activity may go on at the same time, and groups of people, such as members of a sports team, are welcome to volunteer together. For more information about the lunches or to volunteer, call Martin at the food bank at 463-6332. — Susan Riemer

New restaurant will serve Mediterranean fare with a focus on local food bring his ideas to fruition. Jake Heil, the former manager of a successful Portland establishment called the Multnomah Whiskey Library, will be Isola’s front-of-house manager and is helping with the opening. Lauren Garaventa and Molly Biehn — known for their popular Meat & Noodle pop-up restaurant — will be the resaturant’s in-house butchers. They’ll use grass-fed and dry-aged meat from Breckenridge Farm in Everson, Washington, products that Garaventa said will be more sustainable and have more taste than those from out-ofstate farms. Local farms providing produce and dairy for the restaurant include Sun Island Farm, Pacific Potager, Burton Hill Farm and Kurtwood Farm. “People are ready for their casual food to be as good as the food they eat on special occasions,” Garaventa said. Lueck said he’s personally excited to open a restaurant with a local food bent, but said he believes Vashon diners are also ready for a restaurant with many local offerings. “We totally believe in this whole system,” he said. “Its not because we want to be cool. ... It’s because we believe in what’s going on on the island.”

Isola will open next week in former Express Cuisine space By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer

A restaurant opening in town next week will offer Mediterranean-influenced dinners with a rotating menu using largely locally grown food. “It will be directly influenced by what’s available on the island,” said owner Chris Lueck. Called Isola — the Italian word for island — the restaurant is slated to open June 23 in the former Express Cuisine space. It will be open Tuesdays through Saturdays for dinner beginning at 5 p.m. At Isola, Lueck said he and his staff hope to provide highend dining but in a casual and family-friendly atmosphere. A staple of the eatery’s menu will be fresh pastas with several choices for sauces. It will also offer salads and small plates with items such as meatballs, cheeses, charcuterie or seasonal vegetables. It will carry a variety of European wines, with staff ready to make recommendations on kinds Lueck said customers might not be as familiar with. The restaurant’s menu will change regularly and will use as many locally grown and locally produced ingredients as possible. For instance, an Island salad will be made with produce currently in season on Vashon; summer desserts will include island-grown strawberries, and the winter menu may rely more on preserves. Several island farms have been tapped to provide produce and dairy for Isola, and meat will come from a farm in Whatcom County. “There’s no reason to use ingredients that come from everywhere else,” he said. Lueck is perhaps best known on Vashon as the wine buyer at Thriftway, where he worked from 2010 to 2013. But he has also cooked professionally since 1980 and graduated from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in 1983. Throughout his career, he’s worked at several high-end restaurants, including restaurants in New York and Napa Valley.

The staff at Isola includes, from left, owner Chris Lueck, Perrin Meriwether, Jake Heil (standing), Crystal Culp, Lauren Garaventa, Molly Biehn, Rob Brenner and Casey Gripp. In addition to his work at Thriftway, Lueck spent several years in charge of prepared food at several Whole Foods stores. He helped open the Mileta Creek Restaurant at the Vashon Golf & Swim Club in 2012 and managed it for a time. However, he always dreamed of owning his own restaurant. In 2013, he purchased Express Cuisine and kept the longtime restaurant’s service model and menu unchanged. But last summer, knee problems forced him to put the eatery up for sale. Sitting in the restaurant last week, Lueck explained that the restaurant had several interested buyers, but three different offers fell through. Meanwhile, he had knee replacement surgery and recovered well. “Let’s just take it back over,” he recalled thinking. “I was at the physical and mental point that I could do it.” Instead of simply reopening Express Cuisine, Lueck said this time he wanted to create a new restaurant around his own vision. Unlike Express Cuisine, Isola will have table service, and Lueck carefully selected a staff to help him

Fulfillment grows in a life spent farming

Work, outreach around docks at risk is promising

Some question the choice to be a farmer

The news earlier this year that the Tramp Harbor dock is in such bad shape that it might be closed to the public was met with dismay on Vashon. So many people spoke out that the park district decided to place warning signs at the dock rather than close it entirely. The need for repairs at the dock at Dockton hasn’t been as highly publicized, as there’s been no threat of closure, but it is also concerning. The Tramp Harbor dock is an icon on Vashon, and the dock at Dockton Park is staple of recreation Agencies that might be at another here. Together, they amount odds with each other in to the only two public docks this situation appear to on the island. They’re used be working together and heavily by boaters, fishers and birders. For some people, committed to finding these are some of the only solutions to keep these places to do the activities docks standing. they love. But these docks are also getting old, and time has taken its toll. Not only do they need repairs to keep standing, but they eventually need to be upgraded to meet current environmental codes. With budgets tight at both the Vashon Park District, which manages the Tramp Harbor dock, and King County, which owns Dockton Park, it will be difficult to find a way to upgrade these two docks. But the upgrades are also necessary. These places are too important to let them molder away. The good news is that so far, everyone appears to be on the same page when it comes to maintaining these docks. Since the park district and county learned of the issue, officials have been diligently looking for solutions and asking the state to be patient and flexible in enforcing its codes. The state Department of Natural Resources, in turn, has suggested that it will give these agencies plenty of time to create a plan and might help them find funding. And it should. Environmental codes should be enforced, but not at the cost of ending public access to recreation while plenty of unused creosote structures still fill the Puget Sound. It’s encouraging that King County and the Vashon Park District partnered to solicit information and opinions about the docks, and it’s telling that more than 700 people took their survey. It’s even more encouraging that state officials are joining them at not one but two public meetings on Vashon to give information about this complex issue and solicit further public feedback. Agencies that might be at odds with each other in this situation appear to be working together and committed to finding solutions to keep these docks standing. And islanders who believe these places are important on Vashon should mark their calendars for these two public meetings.

When I first became interested in agriculture in the 1980s, I heard this joke: A farmer wins the lottery. When a reporter asks him what he will do with all the money, he replies, “Well, I’ll just keep farming till it’s gone.” The joke made it clear that farming was low-status work — the farmer was making a foolish choice because he didn’t have enough sense to do better. Later on, reading to my young daughters, I was surprised to learn that 150 years ago farming was a career with status. In her novel “Farmer Boy,” Laura Ingalls Wilder tells the story of Almanzo Wilder, whom she would later marry. The Wilders had a successful farm in New York where they raised and made everything they ate, wore, burned and sold. When Almanzo was 12, in the 1860s, local wheel builder Mr. Paddock offered to take him on as an apprentice. It was a good offer: “You wouldn’t be out in all kinds of weather,” the novel reads. “Cold winter nights you could be snug in bed and not worry about young stock freezing. Rain or shine, wind or snow, you’d be under shelter. You’d be shut up in walls. Likely you’d always have plenty to eat and wear and money in the bank.” Almanzo’s mother was incensed. “She was all ruffled, like an angry hen. ‘A pretty pass the world’s coming to, if any man thinks it’s a step up in the world to leave a good farm and go to town! How does Mr. Paddock make his money, if it isn’t catering to us? ... I won’t have Almanzo going [that] way.’” When I started farming, my parents worried about me. They thought I wouldn’t be able to make a living or be fulfilled. The parents of our farm apprentices worry about them, too. Our Beachcomber editor recently posed the question: “Why do you keep farming?” I join Almazo’s mother in submitting that the farmer has more sense than the joke implies. I will go so far as to

LETTER TO THE EDITOR With differing opinions on animals, all can watch for deer Thank you for whomever put the ad in the last Beachcomber reminding us to â€œSlow down spring newbornâ€? with the drawing of the fawn. I know there are different opinions about wildlife on the island. Just days ago I heard my neighbor shooting six to eight times; he said he was shooting at a raccoon. â€œIâ€™m a bad shot,â€? he remarked. I heard a whimper of an animal in the bushes. Last year I called another neighbor late at night after hearing multiple shots. I was told raccoons were being shot. Itâ€™s disturbing to hear gunfire close to home. I canâ€™t ignore it and feel myself wounded to know that people whose chickens and gardens are closed up tight still feel the need to kill life. For many people, animals are either

pets, a nuisance, entertainment, property or dinner â€” and all easily disposed of. Yet there also are many who believe that animals are beings in their own right and deserve to be allowed to live undisturbed. Last month in New York City an attorney brought a groundbreaking trial to court to defend the rights of two primates who are being held in cages and used in experiments. The results are as yet undetermined. See the website nonhumanrights project.org. Interesting. Many believe itâ€™s our future â€” more kindness. Most of us have seen deer dead on the road. I have seen a dead fawn and a dead new mother deer full of milk. Broken bonds. See some tender pictures of this bond at onegreenplanet.org/news/babykoala-hugs-mom-during-surgery posted on June 11. As the website says, â€œOf all the medicine in the world, love is possibly the best of all.â€?

Q: A:

To view this blog & make comments, visit www.vashonislandrealestate.com/blog.html

We keep seeing these tiny waterfront cabins priced really cheaply and we want to start looking at them. We hadnâ€™t thought about waterfront but at these prices, why not? We can always enlarge it later; maybe even do some of the work ourselves. Not really. These tiny cabins have many drawbacks, thus the low price. It is not likely you could add to them at all. I would say virtually impossible. Most are on steep slopes. You could not build those same homes today, due to the flood and landslide hazards. In almost every case, the Critical Areas Ordinance of King County would not allow major additions or tearing down and rebuilding. You also need to be very careful about the septic situation. Many of these places have little or no approved septic system and you may be stuck paying for a very expensive septic system installation in order to live in the cabin. Often they have such poor access that any new system must be installed using a barge since there is no way to get heavy machinery to the site from the land. Very expensive. The other issue to consider is that most lenders will not loan on these cabins and you may also be faced with challenges getting insurance. Certainly FEMA flood insurance will be required as it is for most waterfront property now. That really adds to the monthly cost. Living on the water is a dream shared by many people, and in general, our waterfront prices are very attractive compared with the rest of the greater Seattle area. But Iâ€™m talking about substantial homes, primarily less than 50 years old, that have been updated and well cared for. You wonâ€™t see those in the bargain category of pricing. I always tell people that one of the advantages to living on an island is that we all live five minutes or less from waterfront. We can walk to one of the marvelous waterfront parks on Vashon as well as see the water every day driving around the Island. Thatâ€™s not too shabby.

IT’S YOUR HISTORY The History of the Future We Never Had By Chris Austin Recently I received an email from someone with the cryptic name of “Vashon Cribbage” and attached was a scanned image of a one-hundred-year-old newspaper, “The Vashon Island News.” It contained a fictitious account of someone arriving on the island fi fty years into the future, which back then would be 1965. Oh what a wondrous future we were supposed to have. I don’t know what they were drinking back in 1915 but I want some. For instance, fifty years in the future getting to Vashon from Tacoma would take only twelve minutes by using the underground subway built from Point Defiance to Tahlequah. My prediction for fi fty years from 2015 is Seattle will still be repairing Bertha, the massive tunneling machine that bores holes in budgets. Big Oil protestors will find life convenient as the south end of the island will be massive petroleum fields. These hydrocarbon fountains will not only give us virtually unlimited cheap energy but will be used to build a boulevard system around the entire island. “Hydro-aerial-planes” will be driven by children. Yet another reason to fear flying. Farmers would grow the “roseberry” - the centerpiece you can eat, I guess. And we will need all the berries as the population will be around 200,000 with an average income of $15,000 ( I think it’s almost the reverse today). Also in 1965, Vashon will have no more stairways having been replaced by escalators and moving walkways. It is difficult to believe the imaginary people of the future were lazier than the real ones. We would also have a hippodrome where photographic illusions will be presented. Today we have IMAX Theatres, sans hippos, but not even the most off-the-wall soothsayer could imagine the ticket prices. A Government Reserve will be built at the south end of the island to preserve trees and house a sanitarium to preserve the health of the populace. Apparently this governmentfunded spa will be built right next to the oil fields. No doubt Haliburton will have their company picnic there. Well what did the future bring in 1965? It turns out it was better than islanders of 1915 could have ever imagined. Instead of roseberries we got Spaghettios. Instead of photographic illusions for entertainment we would pass the time with “Operation” and “Mystery Date” or with the eye-bending “Spirograph.” And while it’s nice we never got any oil fields, I wish we had an escalator for Parking Lot Hill! I eventually found out who sent me the rare newspaper and I want to thank Mike Sudduth - may every crib have a double-run and every hand a twenty-nine.

FATHER’S DAY SHOWCASE

Dads and kids perform together at the Red Bike Last year, the Red Bike held a special Father’s Day event that paired fathers and their children of all ages performing together. On Saturday at 8 p.m., the Red Bike will host the second annual event. “It was a blast last year,” said event organizer Pete Welch. “The performances were full of surprises, and the dads’ tie tying contest was a hoot, so funny we brought it back again this year.” From duets to full-family musical performances, comedy and dance, the Father’s Day Showcase is designed for all ages and will be hosted by Allison Shirk, cofounder of Vashon Events. Some of the people who will be performing include: John Browne and Nigel Rex McFarlin and Annika Andre Sapp and Naomi Pat Reardon and Adelia Kevin Kim-Murphy, Camryn and Kieran Michael Whitmore and Evan Danny Newcomb, Theo and Simone Toliver Goering and Thalia Louis Mangione and Olivia The evening is a fundraiser for Vashon Events, to help support the many shows it sponsors throughout the year. There will be an $8 cover at the door.

LITERARY LOUNGE

Enjoy creative storytelling at the Open Space Vashon’s Lit Lounge returns to the Open Space for Arts & Community at 7 p.m. Sunday. Following two successful evenings of storytelling, the third event, held on Father;s Day, will be all about dads. Organizers of “Lit Lounge ... Daddy“ said in a press release that storytellers should consider what the word Daddy means to them. “My heart belongs to? The man who pushed you on the swings in days gone by? Sugar Daddy?” The brainchild of Cara Briskman, Lit Lounge was inspired by similar events throughout the country and by programs like the Moth Radio Hour. Briskman worked with Maria Glanz at Open Space to craft the new program for Vashon. Storytellers will be asked to drop their name in a hat at the door. Names will be drawn as the event unfolds. Between 10 to 12 names will be drawn, and those people will have the opportunity to tell their stories. Admission is $10. Tickets will be on sale soon at Vashon Bookshop, litloungedaddy.brownpapertickets.com and at the door. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. All ages are welcome, but the event is not intended for children. Stories may include mature language or themes. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m.

It’s taken over 40 years, but the art world has finally caught up to island artist Ann Leda Shapiro. Two of Shapiro’s paintings, once deemed offensive by New York City’s Whitney Museum of Modern Art, this year became part of the Seattle Art Museum’s permanent collection. The censored painting, “Two Sides of Self,” and another from the same era, “Woman Landing on Man on the Moon,” now take their seat in SAM’s small but growing holdings of 20th century art by women. In her sunny studio overlooking Tramp Harbor — a far cry from the concrete canyons of her hometown New York City — Shapiro recently recounted her artistic journey and the effects of early success and subsequent censorship. While still in her 20s, Shapiro received a significant artistic nod with a solo show at the Whitney in 1973. It was the nascent days of feminism, and Shapiro’s work explored questions about what it meant to be female or male. But the topic of gender back then belonged in the realm of the avant garde, so much so that the museum censored two paintings out of Shapiro’s exhibit. That stunning experience sent Shapiro traveling an unexpected artistic path, a path that came full circle when SAM acquired her paintings. “I was shocked (by the censorship),” Shapiro said. “My response was to withdraw from the art world rather than fight it, but I did not internally censor myself. I went back into the studio, and not looking over my shoulder at the art world, I was able to create a truly original body of work that’s getting recognition now. What I thought then was the worst experience ended up the best. What I thought was a tragedy turned into a benefit.” The benefit Shapiro discovered was the freedom to make art without the strings of social mores attached, and she’s been working steadily — for more than 45 years — ever since. Shapiro’s artistic life first took shape when as a child she and her mother visited New York art museums, followed by her own daily trips to the American Museum of Natural History.

“Woman Landing on Man on the Moon” by Ann Leda Shapiro is now part of the Seattle Art Museum’s permanent collection. “I would meander through the museum,” Shapiro said. “That’s how I learned to draw and to fall in love with other cultures. And that’s where I got introduced to Chinese medicine.” As a university art teacher who taught life drawing for 14 years, Shapiro understood the body well, saying she always worked with “the body as landscape.” But Chinese medicine, which works with the flow of energy called qi, peaked Shaprio’s curiosity about what might lie beneath the skin, below the bones and muscles. That curiosity brought Shapiro to Seattle in 1991 to attend acupuncture school. She’d read the philosophy behind the traditional Chinese medicine, but wanted to investigate, research and understand the system of energy meridians. Never intending to become a practitioner, Shapiro nonetheless fell in love with acupuncture. She also fell in love with the Northwest and

in 1992, moved to Vashon, where she opened her acupuncture practice. “I only did acupuncture for work then, but I always did my art. Now I have acupuncture days and art days.” Until recently, Shapiro also only showed her artwork at Puget Sound Cooperative Credit Union, having essentially dropped out of the art scene. Invisible to the region’s curators and art buyers, Shapiro’s art found its way to SAM by a novel and somewhat radical route. According to Shapiro, her work was acquired by the museum via the conceptual artwork of Seattle artist Michael Offenbacher. With $25,000 of prize money from winning Cornish College’s Neddy Award, Offenbacher and his wife Jennifer decided to work with SAM curator Catharina Manchada to acquire art by women and queer artists for the museum, a decision that didn’t come out of the blue. In 2012, the traveling show “Elle,” organized by Paris’ Centre Pomidou and featuring women artists from the 20th century, opened at SAM. The museum planned to also exhibit its paintings by women artists from the last century, only SAM had a paltry collection. “So Matt and Jennifer realized there was a gap and decided they would become collectors and use the money to buy feminist and queer art,” Shapiro explained. Manchada saw Shapiro’s art as a member of a grant review committee. Next thing Shapiro knew, she got a call from Manchada, then a studio visit and now a spot in SAM’s permanent collection. Manchada had shown photos of Shapiro’s work to Offenbacher, who bought the paintings and then donated them to SAM. Back in her studio, Shapiro is in the midst of completing several projects — a group of large scale paper cut-outs, a visual memoir of the American Museum of Natural History executed as a series of paintings that she’s turned into a deck of cards plus another children’s book. And after 23 years of working on it, Shapiro plans to finally publish a graphic novel that illustrates the history of Chinese medicine. “So I’m very patient,” Shapiro added with a laugh. “And it’s been great to live on Vashon, to live out my potential. I’ve even fallen back in love with the two paintings all over again.”

Well-known island musician returns to Blue Heron on Saturday

Carter Castle

Singer-songwriter Carter Castle and fellow island musicians will perform original music at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Blue Heron. Castle is said to be one of Vashon’s deeply original musicians and lyricists. Drawing on America’s rich heritage of folk music and blues, Castle’s music expresses universal themes and his personal experiences. Musicians like Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, John Prine, Steve Earle and Dave Van Ronk are among the artists who inspire Castle’s music, while his songwriting brings all the senses into play, conjuring shapes, images, colors and moods. A recent press release described Castle as someone who learns “from experiences and mistakes, turning them into his unique sound. He gets his cues from his unconscious

and dreams, patiently waiting for the music to come through him. Audiences have found his music deeply fulfilling and intimate, yet unpredictable. As a songwriter, he is drawn to magical phrases and responds to the subtleties of words — their shape, rhythm, lilt and melody.” A favorite quote of Castle’s comes from the creator of the Dilbert cartoons, Scott Adams, who said, “Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.” Island musicians Steve Amsden, Bob Kueker, Paul Colwell, Jack Barbash and other special guests will join Castle. Tickets are $14 for VAA members, seniors and students and $18 for general admission and are sold at the Blue Heron and vashonalliedarts.org.

Renowned transgender educator to speak on Vashon By SARAH LOW Staff Writer

Aidan Key, a nationally known gender specialist, author, educator and speaker, will lead a workshop at McMurray Middle School on Friday. “Transform: Building a Culture of Support for Gender Diversity” is an all-ages, interactive presentation where attendees will learn about child and adolescent gender nonconformity and identity formation, the challenges faced by these children and ways family, community and schools can support them. “VARSA has offered courses in youth mental health first aid and suicide prevention training,” said Lisa MacLeod, VARSA co-chair and parent of a transgender child, “and after taking them both, I realized that one of our most vulnerable populations are LGBTQ youth. It seemed important to offer something like this.” According to VARSA, LGBTQ youth are four times more likely to

attempt suicide, are at increased risk for bullying and harassment and have a much higher likelihood of substance abuse than their straight peers. Key, who lives in Burien with his wife, is a transgender man who was born a female — one of identical twin girls. After transitioning as an adult and finding few resources for support, guidance or education, he embarked on a path to help others, drawing from his own experiences. Starting with community workshops and building to national conferences, Key was sought by many for his insight and expertise. “In 2004, when parents started showing up with their teens or younger children, I realized that families would have very different issues to deal with than I had as an adult going through it,” Key said. “They were facing a society that had nothing to offer them. So I started support groups and a national conference specifically for families, with programming and

experts from across the country.” Since then, Key has authored a chapter on trans children in the book “Trans Bodies, Trans Selves,” established a support group for families at Seattle Children’s Hospital, has informed gender-inclusive policy work within the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and founded Gender Diversity Education and Support Services in Seattle. “The focus of the workshop will be really understanding who these kids are and addressing all of the questions,” Key said. “And the key to understanding is to remember what gender was about when we were kids. Most kids aren’t as hung up on it as adults are.” The workshop, from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, will be hosted by VARSA and the McMurray Middle School Equality Club, which will also offer a rainbow splash celebration modeled after the color run afterward.

Two meetings will focus on dock issues By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer

Public officials will hold meetings next Monday and Tuesday to discuss and take comment on issues surrounding two public docks on Vashon. “We provided a couple dates so that people have options,” said Kevin Brown, director of King County Parks. “We’re making sure we get as much feedback from the community as possible.” King County and the Vashon Park District are each faced with repairing or replacing their popular public docks at Tramp Harbor and Dockton Park. Both of the aging creosote piers are in need of expensive repairs, and both will eventually have to be upgraded to meet environmental codes. The docks sit on aquatic land owned by the state, and their leases are expired and up for renewal. Last month, the county and park district partnered to hold an online survey to gather information about how people use the docks and their importance to taxpayers. Officials said the data would guide their next steps and could also help the agencies obtain grants. More than 700 people took the sur-

vey, which closed earlier this month, and Brown and park district Director Elaine Ott said responses showed strong support for the two facilities. At the meetings next week, officials will give a presentation about the docks, the survey and the questions facing the two agencies. Then much of the meeting will be given over to an open house where the public can view aerial photos and other information and can speak with representatives of the county, park district and state Department of Natural Resources. People can also fill out paper surveys at the meeting. Brown said King County plans to draft a plan for the Dockton dock by the end of the summer. Ott said she’s interested in gauging whether the Vashon community might support a bond or a fundraising drive for the Tramp Harbor dock. “We want the community to know that we hear them and that their input is very valid in our decision making,” she said. Meetings will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, June 22 and 23, at McMurray Middle School.

At Saturday’s sunny graduation ceremony, student speaker Ezra Ende (pictured at right) contemplated the lessons he should have learned in high school, such as how to study, and the ones he actually learned, such as how to laugh at himself and move on. He finished by quoting Bilbo Baggins: “I think I am quite ready for another adventure.” A graduation tradition since 1983, Pieces of Eight awards were given to eight graduates who have displayed attributes such as leadership, integrity and Pirate pride. Medallions were given to (pictured below, from left to right) Lily Lott, Shannon Keating, Henry Kenoyer, Zina Carroll, Mykah Shiosaki, Sophie Harrison, Ellen Chappelka and Ezra Ende. A final Pieces of Eight medallion was given to Stephanie Spencer (far right), who is leaving her assistant principal position after eight years for another job at the district and who Principal Danny Rock said “bleeds green and gold.” During the main event, the bestowing of degrees, graduates crossed the stage in pairs and often walked away hugging, cheering or doing a fun move.

Crew sends 15 rowers to tough national competition One boat placed sixth in the nation By PAT CALL For The Beachcomber

Most rowing venues on the annual crew calendar are rivers, lakes, estuaries or bays that have been temporarily set up as a racing course. Nathan Benderson Park near Sarasota, Florida, is a noteworthy exception, having been designed and constructed solely as a world-class rowing venue. Nine lanes wide and evenly dredged, the racing course is flanked by a causeway that separates the course from the warm-up area, acts as a wave attenuator for crosswinds and allows golf carts to travel most of the length of the course to provide real-time video to spectators. This venue played host to the 2015 Junior National Rowing Championships, bringing crews from more than 160 clubs from across the country to compete in the steamy late spring of Florida’s Gulf Coast. The temperatures were hot, and the racing was hotter, with what many coaches observed was the most competitive Nationals in many years. Vashon’s junior crew qualified eight boats for Nationals this year, but Coach Richard Parr chose to enter only five boats to avoid doubling up rowers in the challenging weather conditions with both temperatures and humidity in the 90s. The regatta started with heats on Friday, where the winners moved on directly to Saturday afternoon’s semifinals, and the rest of the boats rowed again in the repechages, or reps, on Saturday morning. After the reps, 12 boats in each event advanced to the semis, six boats to Sunday’s C finals and the rest were out. Some events had 27 boats entered, so just making a final is an accomplishment. Racing was proceeding smoothly on Friday, when precipitously at the conclusion of the Vashon women’s lightweight four heat, the sky turned black and the announcer forcefully ordered the racers off the water and the spectators into their cars. It was a true Auntie Em moment as boats started tumbling through the staging area, tents folded and twisted into intricate and improbable sculptures, lightning crackled menacingly and rain landed in horizontal sheets. Racing was suspended for the day, the schedule being as shredded as some of the tents. All of Vashon’s boats had completed their races by the time the storm hit, with one boat, the men’s quad, going directly to the semis and the other four scheduled for reps. Saturday morning dawned cloudy and a little cooler with a westerly breeze. At the end of the reps, Vashon had three more boats to the semi-finals, and one boat, the lightweight

The men’s quad gets off to a flying start at the Junior National Championships. Rowers are, from front to back, Patrick Hanson, Fletcher Call, Liam McConnell and Forrest Miller.. women’s double, qualifying directly for Sunday’s C final. In the afternoon semi-finals, the objective of every crew was to get a top-three finish, which would qualify the boat for the A final, or grand final, on Sunday. Bottom three finishers would go on to Sunday’s B final. There was no repeat of Friday’s storm, and at the conclusion of the semis, the men’s quad had moved on to A final with a suspenseful second-place finish 0.02 seconds faster than the third-place boat from New Canaan, Connecticut. The women’s double, pair and lightweight four were all headed to the B finals. Sunday’s finals made a solid statement about the increased competitiveness of junior rowing with numerous races having four to six boats finishing within a couple of seconds of each other and several finishers separated by less than one tenth of a second. The men’s quad (Patrick Hanson, Fletcher Call, Liam McConnell and Forrest Miller) suffered a major malfunction know as “catching a crab,” where the oar dives at the end of the stroke and gets pinned to the side of the boat, often bringing it to a complete stop. The resulting force cracked the oar, which could have led to a race re-start if it had happened just 50 meters earlier. As it was, the quad did its best but was never in contention after that, finishing sixth in the nation.

The women’s double (Kalie Heffernan and Kirsten Girard) finished their senior year and high school rowing careers with 12th place in the country. The lightweight women’s double (KaiLi Scheer and Mabel Moses) took 17th in the nation with a strong race in the C final. Mabel celebrated her 14th birthday just before the regatta. Summing up the weekend, a sunburned Parr congratulated the Vashon crew for strong performances and excellent rowing. “On numerous occasions over the weekend, the announcers called out what I saw … that Vashon rowing was smooth, efficient and strong. You all should be proud of your achievement over this season and this weekend. You are great rowers, great students, great citizens and great ambassadors for Vashon Island.”

Adrian St. Germain was part of a team of top Washington wrestlers.

Standout Vashon wrestler Adrian St. Germain continues to rack up honors and was recently chosen to be on the Washington State Schoolboy National Dual Team for the second year in a row. The team was made up of the top wrestlers in each weight class in Washington. They competed against teams from other states across the nation at the USA National Schoolboy/girl Duals earlier this month in Indianapolis. The Washington team placed second in Greco and third in Freestyle. St. Germain was personally undefeated at the tournament and often wrestled up one weight class to ensure the win against very strong teams. St. Germain, who hasn’t lost a match since June of 2014, was the team captain, and coaches reported that he kept the other wrestlers’ spirits high on and off the match. He will begin high school this fall and is currently raising money to compete at the ASICS Kids Nationals, which will take place in Wisconsin from June 30 through July 2.

QUILT SHOP CONTINUED FROM 1

traveled that the building Island Quilter was located in had been purchased and that the store would be moving off the island, many people expressed a desire for it to remain on Vashon. Although Moritz wanted to stay, she did not believe any of the few commercial spaces available on the island would fit their needs, and in January, she and Robinson began working with a real estate agent to find a suitable commercial space off-island. They found few possibilities, and when the store closed at the end of April, they still had not secured a new space. They ended their time at the former store with a party, and Moritz said that the support of islanders, including the owners of Zombiez and May Kitchen + Bar, who provided the night’s refreshments, only strengthened her desire to

stay on the island. “I told Paul my heart was not in it to leave,” she said. Robinson looked — for a second time — at another space on the island they had considered and re-confirmed it would not work. And then Moritz called Sjardo Steneker, who owns the former clinic. She was familiar with the inside of the building, she said, and had felt that it would not work, but decided to try. “Sjardo’s was the very last thing on the island,” she added. During a walk-through, she thought it would be too small, she said, even with renovations. She was on her way out the door when the idea of hosting retreats and using the treatment rooms for overnights guests occurred to her. By doing so she would create a different kind of quilt business to help cover the higher rent, she said, and it would be entirely different from her former, expansive store, which she could not replicate. Initially, she wanted to use all the

spaces on the property, she said: the former clinic space, an upstairs apartment and the building next door, where Island Cure, a medical marijuana dispensary, is located. She did not want to force either tenant to leave, though, she said, and they both are staying on for now. When either tenant leaves, she would like to expand into the vacated space, which she said would enable her to host larger retreats, but she believes she will be able to accommodate 8 to 10 people just in the store itself. It has been a very difficult six months, Moritz noted, and she and Robinson are not sure the new business model will work. Still, it’s a time in her life she has become grateful for, she said, because of the outpouring of support that has come to her and Paul and the new friendships that have formed. “We have experienced so much love and support,” she said. “Money cannot buy that kind of love and support we have received.”

A major construction project at the north-end ferry dock, which was originally slated to begin this month, will be delayed until later this summer. Ian Sterling, a spokesman for Washington State Ferries, said that selecting a contractor to upgrade the dock and obtaining the proper permits took the state longer than state expected. But it recently chose Quigg Bros. Inc based in Aberdeen, as the contractor, and work will begin in late July at the earliest. The project will be finished in about a year. 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. A $15 million construction project will install large braces along the dock and replace 200 feet of wooden pilings with new steel ones. The project will happen in three phases and is expected to cause delays on the already busy triangle route. However, the first phase of construction, originally scheduled to last about three months, will be the least disruptive.

CERT CONTINUED FROM 1

Catherine and Michael had done.” Over the 11 years that the Cochranes headed CERT, more than 250 islanders went through the FEMA-based course to prepare to volunteer in the case of a disaster. The 40-hour course, offered for free, teaches a host of skills, including search and rescue, first aid and basic fire suppression. Ongoing training sessions, for those who are interested, help people improve and expand their skill set to respond to a large disaster or to an emergency at home or work, serving as first responders until professional responders arrive. CERT also provides a team of people for Vashon Island Fire & Rescue (VIFR) to draw from when it needs assistance, whether it be a small-scale emergency, such as a missing person, or a large disaster, such as an earthquake. The program the Cochranes created — which includes twice the initial training the FEMA course calls for — is highly regarded in many quarters. “They have been recognized all over the state for running a first-class operation,” Milligan said. Many know Milligan as the former director at Camp Sealth, a position she held for 15 years and left in 2008. While she was the director there, she began volunteering with the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), an information gathering and planning support team for VIFR when it needs help beyond its staff. She first became involved, she said, because she wanted Camp Sealth, located in a far-flung region of the island, to be on the radar of first responders in case of disaster. She completed a CERT class many years ago, and for the last several years, she has served as the volunteer coordinator for the EOC and has been on its logistics team. This past spring, as part of the transition to new leadership, Milligan and the Cochranes put together the most recent CERT course, with the assistance of a half dozen trainers. Twenty-six students participated, she said, and about half are showing interest in staying active and being on call if they are needed. While she holds the Cochranes in high regard, Milligan has goals of her own for the program. One of those is to delegate, and she is putting together a leadership team to help carry CERT forward. “I expect I will have 10 to 12 people in charge of different elements of CERT,” she said. She also hopes to strengthen the program’s capacity to deal with logistics in a major disaster, such as its ability to stage, move and distribute supplies and equipment, as well as create a volunteer registration center, which could screen people and place them appropriately if their skills are needed. VIFR, which sponsors CERT, covers much of the cost of running trainings and provides classroom space and staff support.

Jan Milligan, explaining map and compass skills at last weekend’s exercise, is the new head of CERT. She took over for Catherine and Michael Cochrane, who headed the program for 11 years. Assistant Chief George Brown had high praise for Milligan stepping into the role the Cochranes have long held. “Jan is a perfect replacement,” he said. “She wants to continue that same level of professionalism. … We are lucky to have her.” By all accounts, the role the Cochranes played is a big one to fill. VIFR recently held its annual awards banquet, and honored the Cochranes for their work. The evening also included a tribute to them from King County’s Timothy Doyle, a manager at the Office of Emergency Management, who has worked with the pair extensively. Reached after the ceremony, Doyle praised the Cochranes for their skills. “Working with Michael was like working with the captain of a ship,” he said. “He knows his destination and his bearings.” Furthering the metaphor, he likened Catherine to an engineer on the ship, who noted when course corrections needed to be made. While FEMA developed the course in 1994, it was not offered on Vashon until a decade later, and like many elements of disaster preparedness on the island, can be traced back to Joe Ulatoski, often referred to as the grandfather of preparedness on Vashon. It was Ulatoski who asked Michael Cochrane to head up the course. Both men have a military background, and Michael said that influenced his response. “I am a retired special forces master sergeant,” he said. “When a general asks me to do something, the answer is yes.” Michael had considerable experience in training people in the field, he said, and his wife Catherine excels at the policy and pro-

cess work needed to keep the program running smoothly. Michael was quick to point out that he and Catherine had plenty of assistance, including support from Ulatoski, King County’s Doyle and Bob Larsen, the VIFR liaison to CERT. Despite the fact they did not run CERT alone, the Cochranes volunteered hundreds of hours each year for more than a decade, and it grew to be time for a change. Michael and Catherine then identified people who would be good to step in. “The mark of a successful program is that you can pass it on,” Michael said, adding they have complete faith in Milligan.

“We are very, very, very fortunate to find Jan,” he said. Following Sunday’s field exercise, CERT’s new leadership weighed in with their assessments. Jim Lilje, who is the director of training and operations in the new leadership team, said he was pleased with how it went. CERT has been activated three times to search for missing people on Vashon, and he said the intensity of the session was similar to some of those experiences. There were several new people participating, he noted, as well as CERT equestrians. “There were a lot of moving parts, and they seemed to work together pretty well,” he said. Milligan said she also thought the event went well, noting the group learned some lessons about radio communications, also run by volunteers, with the communications center located in a converted camper onsite. “We have a really great start for a solid model for the future,” she said. While CERT members and horses were combing the long grass in search of their missing person on Sunday, the Cochranes were home and had recently returned from a short trip. Travel was something they’ve had little time for, Michael said, adding he would like to see more of Washington and plans to take a trip to the rain forest, where he has never been. Catherine said she will miss all the adventure involved with CERT, but she has other plans, too. “I think I will take up knitting,” she said. Islanders who have taken the CERT course and would like to become active again or for the first time should contact Milligan at 949-1184 or CERT@VashonBePrepared. org. For new students, the next CERT course will be offered in early 2016. For more information, see vashonbeprepared.org and click on the Partners tab.

Howard

Howard the Gentle Giant (aka the Big Bunny, aka Spirit Wolf of Lost Lake) came into our lives from the King County Shelter in Kent twelve years ago after he had been found sick, starving and bedraggled on the highway nearby. The vet figured he was maybe four years old and that someone had smashed in his face with a two by four at some point leaving him with a lopsided smile and “issues”. Part Tibetan Mastiff, part Travelling Monk — Howard continued to be found on streets, highways and byways for the rest of his life no matter what doors, fences, enclosures, cages, runs, cables, or other containments were used to keep him enclosed. Everywhere Howard wandered (and he truly covered a LOT of ground!) he made friends and brought abiding joy. We are deeply grateful for the kindness of strangers, friends and neighbors in Fremont, Mount Vernon, Guemes Island, Bowen Island, Issaquah and Vashon Island who have (with great loving kindness and forbearance) helped to run herd on Howard in his many wanderings-providing cuddles, biscuits, hiking, running, walking, slumber parties and return rides home to our waiting arms. Howard left us as gently as he lived at noon on Sunday, June 7, 2015. Howard is survived by his human sidekicks sooze and Benjamin, his beloved cat companions - the Gang of Eight, as well as a vast and enduring network of human and furred friends around Vashon and the world. If you would care to share a memory of Howard, please email to hbloom144@gmail.com. Donations to VIPP if desired.

FOSTER was found in Dockton and never claimed. He is a little shy at first but he loves his snacks and when you greet him with food, he is right there with you. He would do best in a quiet home with adults. He came to VIPP 11/14/11.

ROGUE came to VIPP in February of 2014 looking a little worse for the wear having lived his life as an outdoor cat. He was extremely shy, hiding in his cubby most of the time. Over time, Rogue has become more self-assured and likes to see the volunteers when they come with his daily meals. Rogue is looking for a warm safe indoor home with peeps who can be patient with him as he becomes more comfortable around humans. Rogue came to VIPP on 2/15/14.

Whip smart and oh so eager to please, 2 year old GINGER loves to be loved and after a lifetime of being abandoned, Ginger is aching for a forever home and someone to call her own. She will need an active home that can give her plenty of exercise and continue with her training. And because she is just now learning how to interact with other furry and small creatures, being an only dog in a home with no kids is best so the spotlight can be on her!
