New survey: Many voice concern about teen drug use
A special party
CELEBRATING our elders
D
orothy Hall Bauer, a Burton resident who turned 90 last month, held a special party on Saturday. She invited every Islander age 90 or older to come to her beach-front home for an afternoon of lemonade, music and festivities. Also on the invite list were friends close to age 90, family members or caregivers and all of the people she’s profiled in her books, “Islanders, Meet Your Neighbors.” Bauer has published six books in the series celebrating Island residents; she’s currently working on her seventh. The mood was light and lovely on Bauer’s back deck, as one senior after another — many dressed in their finest — showed up. Those age 90 or older received leis, until Bauer ran out of them. She guessed there were 15 who had reached that milestone, including one 99-year-old, Janet Fiske. “I’ll be 100 in November, if I make it,” she told Bauer. “Oh, you will,” Bauer answered brightly. “You look hale and hardy.” Bauer said she decided to host the event because she believes it’s noteworthy to have lived 90 years. “The saying, ‘Old age is not for sissies,’ is very true,” she said. “Ninety years or more of living is something to acknowledge, for sure.”

recently began the Vashon Nature Center, a private organization with an online presence and a goal to better document the Island’s plant and animal life. When she proposed that the center hold a BioBlitz, a type of species survey held in many communities in the United States and other parts of the world, several of the Island’s nature experts and amateur naturalists jumped at the opportunity, she said. “There are so many longtime naturalists on the Island who are excited about it and supportive of it,” Perla said. “We’ve had a lot of help.” Neill Point Natural Area, a King County
A majority of Vashon adults are concerned about teen substance abuse but believe the broader community doesn’t share their concerns, according to the first comprehensive survey of adult attitudes toward substance use on Vashon. The results are noteworthy in a community where a large number of teens in recent years have reported using alcohol or marijuana, according to officials with the Vashon Alliance to Reduce Substance Abuse (VARSA). “It makes it harder for people to stand up against teen substance use,” said Ken Maaz, the executive director of Vashon Youth & Family Services (VYFS). “If you think everybody around you is tolerant, it’s harder to take a stand.” The dichotomy between one’s personal concerns and a belief about community-wide tolerance is one of several significant findings from the survey, Maaz said. The survey also found a dichotomy between respondents’ personal tolerance for alcohol and marijuana use among adults and their perception of a wider community tolerance. And more than half of the respondents said they believe it’s too easy on Vashon for minors to get their hands on alcohol. The 22-question survey, conducted in March, garnered 743 responses, or around 10 percent of the adult population, giving it a solid statistical foundation, Maaz said.

Vashon’s BioBlitz provides a window onto the natural world The biological inventory marks a first for the Island By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
This weekend Vashon wildlife lovers will spend 24 hours searchings for bugs, listening to birds, studying the shoreline and trapping small animals — all part of a new effort to better understand Vashon’s diverse ecosystems and document their changes over time. The first Vashon BioBlitz, an intense biological inventory of a specific Island area, will take

place this weekend at the Neill Point Natural Area on Vashon’s south end. Local naturalists and members of the public will work to identify as many plant and animal species as they can at the 50-acre preserve both during the day and in the dark, between 3 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. “Having people see the actual biodiversity of where they live, you really can’t appreciate it until you can go out and go through a place like this with a fine-tooth comb,” said Bianca Perla, who is heading the event. “It’s a great experience for people.” Perla, an ecologist who grew up on Vashon and moved back with her family a few years ago,

Construction on a wastewater pump station by the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal, scheduled to begin early this summer and end in 2015, is expected to disrupt ferry traffic. Today one ferry lane will be closed until 4 p.m. as cables are installed in anticipation of the project. King County officials said in a press release that the Barton Pump Station, located underground immediately north of the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal, is 50 years old and in need of an upgrade in order to accommodate West Seattle’s growing population. In the release outlining the project, officials say residents and ferry commuters should expect to see heavy equipment, truck traffic and construction noise by the terminal. There will also be ferry lane closures and limited beach access at the dock. Typical work hours for the project

The Cessna 182 was carrying two adults and two teens when the pilot decided to abort his takeoff attempt, McClure said. When he brought the plane back down, the front wheel snapped off and the nose of the airplane dug into the ground, causing the plane to flip, he said. The plane was still on the runway when the accident occurred. McClure said the pilot is an Islander but declined to release his name. The Federal Aviation Administration, however, released the plane’s registration number; the 1968 single-engine aircraft is owned by Islander Sjardo Steneker.

Island group brings national ‘Dance for PD’ to Vashon DoVE Project will launch By SUSAN RIEMER For The Beachcomber
Islanders with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders will have the opportunity to dance this week when teachers from the Seattlebased Dance for PD program offer a class on Vashon. The class, 90 minutes of movement and music designed especially for people with Parkinson’s disease, will be led by two dance instructors experienced in teaching the program and will include live music with piano, drums and rhythm instruments, according to Deborah Magallanes, one of the teachers. First created by the Mark Morris Dance Group in New York roughly a decade ago, Dance for PD classes exist in more than 75 communities across the country, including Seattle, where they began in 2008, according to Clare Connell of the Seattle Theater Group, a partner of the program. The classes have their roots in ballet and modern dance, and include bar work, seated movement and dance steps across the floor if people are able. Parkinson’s disease, a common movement disorder typically affecting
people 60 and older, is often marked by tremors, muscle rigidity and slowness of movement. Simple, everyday tasks can be difficult, but participating in dance brings a multitude of benefits, which some research studies have confirmed, including helping with mobility in the short term, improving balance and creating a support system. And, of course, dancing is fun. “We laugh a lot,â€? Magallanes said. Magallanes, who also teaches Dance for PD classes in Port Angeles and Anacortes, noted that some students cannot do all the movements. Seated people, for example, cannot do a pliĂŠ — a move that calls for a dancer to stand and bend his or her knees. But seated people can manifest elements of the move and capture its essence. “When I look at my students, I see dancers,â€? she added. The Vashon Parkinson’s Support Group, which meets monthly, is bringing Friday’s class to Vashon, and organizers encourage all people with Parkinson’s disease to attend, as well as stroke survivors, people with multiple sclerosis, other neurological disorders and their caregivers. Steve Steffens, a member of the group and one of those responsible for
bringing the dance class to the Island, said members of the support group hope there will be sufficient interest in this week’s Dance for PD class to offer it regularly. The group would like to see an Island dancer become interested in the work and complete the Dance for PD training — available in many cities, including Seattle — and then serve as the group’s leader on an ongoing basis. Bob Douglas, another member of the group, noted there is a yoga class for people with Parkinson’s on the Island, and he believes the dance class, too, will be helpful to people facing the challenges of Parkinson’s. Like the support group members, Magallanes said she hopes the class will become a staple on Vashon. “The less you move, the smaller your world gets,� she said. “Movement is life.�
Dance for PD will meet from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Friday, June 1, at the Vashon Lutheran Church. The class is free. For more information, call Steve Steffens at 5675976.

hotline this week
Vashon’s DoVE Project, which serves Islanders affected by domestic violence, will offer a dedicated hotline beginning this Friday. Trained volunteers will staff the hotline from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day, according to program manager Tavi Black. Outside of those hours, hotline calls will be forwarded to an off-Island domestic violence agency. The line is intended for people who think they are in a domestic violence situation, Black said, as well as concerned friends and family members. The advocate will listen, assess the situation and schedule an in-person meeting if necessary for follow-up services, such as protection orders, support groups and safety planning. The hotline is not for emergencies, Black noted, and urged people to call 911 if they are in a crisis. Only one advocate will staff the line at a time, Black said; if people call and there is no answer, they should leave a safe number for a return call or continue calling until the advocate is able to take the call. Unanswered calls should not be a large problem, Black noted, as she expects one to two calls a week on this new line. DoVE recently marked its one year anniversary of serving the Island, and Black said she is proud to be part of a community that has embraced this cause, including the hotline. “We’re pleased to be offering it,� she said. “I think it’s essential.� The number of the DoVE hotline, beginning 8 a.m. Friday, June 1, will be 462-0911.

State presents plan to map where boats can moor in harbor By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
The state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is working to map out specific places where mooring buoys will be allowed in Quartermaster Harbor, the next step in a long-term project to clear the harbor of abandoned buoys and make the bay safer for boats. Thursday DNR officials will visit Vashon to discuss the mooring buoy plan with boat owners who may be affected. “It’s kind of like putting parking stripes in a parking lot,� said Toni Droscher, a spokeswoman for DNR’s Aquatics Program. About a year ago, DNR’s Aquatic Reserves Program identified Quartermaster Harbor as one of several bays in the state it wanted to manage more closely. At the time officials said the harbor contained many abandoned buoys and boats and was too crowded with boats in some areas.
Not only do some boats and unused buoys pose a navigational hazard to other boats, officials said, but many buoys drag on the bottom of the harbor, damaging the marine habitat. Over the past year, DNR has worked to identify abandoned buoys in the harbor and contact the owners of unlicensed ones. State law requires that boats moored for more than 30 days in the harbor be registered with DNR, but at the time the project began only about five of the many buoys in Quartermaster were licensed. Since then, Droscher said, 34 buoy owners have submitted applications with the state. Buoys on private property do not need permits. At a workshop Thursday evening at McMurray Middle School, DNR representatives will continue to reach out to boat owners as well as present a preliminary map of where buoys would be allowed in the harbor. Under the plan, Droscher
said, some boat owners will be required to move their buoys. Depending on the feedback received on the plan this week, Droscher said, the state may hold another public meeting in June. “We’ll see if it seems things are moving forward, or if there’s something we may take another look at it,� she said. Once the plan is finalized this summer, the public will be able to comment on it as part of an environmental review required by state law. Lisa Randlette, an environmental planner with DNR’s Aquatics Resources Division, said that the Quartermaster project has gone well so far. Aside from receiving applications for buoy licenses, the department, with help from Islanders, has identified abandoned and unused buoys and boats. They have even passed some of that information on the sheriff’s office. “We’ve already seen
some interim successes,� Randlette said in an email. “In response to information from local boaters, the King County Marine Unit has removed a number of derelict vessels that posed navigation and safety hazards.� Droscher said the buoy plan to be presented tomorrow will focus on the Burton and Dockton areas, where boats are most crowded. Buoys will be strategically mapped so that boats tied to them aren’t at risk of running into one another as buoy lines swing because of tides or weather, she said, and so that boats don’t pose a navigational hazard to vessels coming in and out of the harbor. Officials believe many boats in the harbor are also tied to inadequate anchors that damage the floor of the harbor, Droscher said. At the meeting they will give information about what types of buoys are acceptable under state law. “People have thrown different thing in over the years
(as anchors),� Droscher said. “Old refrigerators and keggers, things like that.� Eventually, Droscher said, divers will investigate parts of the harbor to record how many buoys are anchored appropriately. Buoys that aren’t licensed or don’t comply with state law will be removed from the harbor as early as this year. “We want to get a really clear picture of what is down there,� Droscher said. “We know where the buoys are. Now we need to go and see what’s actually holding them up.�
The DNR Aquatics Program will hold a public workshop to seek input on proposed buoy placing in Quartermaster Harbor at 7 p.m. Thursday at McMurray Middle School. There will be buoy permit applications available. For more information on the project, see http://www. dnr.wa.gov/Publications/ em_fs11_012.pdf.

County stats tell only part of the story about road safety
There’s been a lot of back-and-forth in recent weeks about rumble strips and their potential to keep drivers safe. Some say they help. Others don’t. Many have wondered about the statistics King County engineers used to inform the Vashon project. A new page on the county’s transportation department’s website answers some of these questions. (Google “King County rumble strips� and you’ll find the FAQ about Vashon’s project.) Indeed, to read it is to get a window into the department’s rationale. According to the county, there were 92 accidents between 2003 and 2008 that involved a car veering out of its lane — two instances where a driver crossed the center lane and 90 times when a car ran off the road. In 42 of those instances, there was an injury; once, according to the county, someone was killed. The county then examined the factors that contributed to each accident: 39 percent of the time excessive speed played a role; 11 percent of the time a driver was attempting to avoid an animal or another object; 14 percent of the time drugs or alcohol were involved; and another 14 percent of the time the driver was drowsy, inattentive or distracted. Rumble strips might have helped in about half of the instances, the county maintains. Indeed, it was this analysis that made Vashon one of the county’s six “high-risk rural roads.� But those statistics don’t tell the whole story. The reason is that they only took into account motorized vehicles. Cyclists weren’t part of the equation. Last week, a cyclist named Dan Brenner came into The Beachcomber’s office to tell his story. He was near the Episcopal church, riding south on the highway with his girlfriend’s 8-yearold daughter on a bike behind him. They were headed to a softball game at McMurray Middle School. He glanced behind him to see if a car was coming — and, as is so often the case, his bike veered slightly in the direction of his turning head. The next thing he knew, he hit the milled pavement, lost control and landed in the traffic lane. Fortunately, no cars were coming, but he still got hurt. When he stopped by our office on Friday, he had a bandage on his chin, covering the eight stitches he needed from the fall. One bad fall doesn’t counter the weight of the county’s five years’ worth of numbers. But it does raise important questions: What is the impact of these strips on cyclists? And in light of how vulnerable a cyclist is, do the risks cyclists face outweigh the potential protection they provide a driver? Children ride bikes on Vashon Island. A growing number of Islanders are cycling — some of whom are inexperienced. What kind of safety are we providing them? The county has some compelling stats, numbers that led them to believe rumble strips made sense. But as is so often the case, the answer one gets depends on the questions one asks. And in this instance, the county failed to ask some critical questions. If they’re going to convince an increasingly dubious Island population of the rightness of their position, county engineers are going to need to do some more research. The picture, at this point, seems incomplete.

For the past year I have been doing research for an exhibit at the Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Museum called “Main Street Vashon: The Ever-Changing Face of Vashon Highway,� opening June 1. With more than 50 historic photos, it is a rich story of development and community, of change and consistency. Up to the late 1950s, Vashon was not a commuter-based community; few people had cars or easy access to Seattle. So Vashon stores sold everything — from farm supplies to furniture, appliances to cars. Now, with most of our population made up of commuters who have easy access to stores on the mainland and the ability to order anything under the sun via the Internet, Vashon’s business core is weakened, and growth is stagnant. I represent four generations of Brennos who have lived and worked on Vashon. I am part of a dying breed that has always given life to this community and that counted on Vashon businesses for their goods and services. Downtown Vashon has always had a kind of hodge-podge look of overhangs and storefronts — from art deco to shingles, from brick to wood. It has its own charm and reflects how unique our community really is. Vashon town is home to four 100-year-old buildings and at last five buildings that date to the 1920s. This funky mix of old and new leaves a visual mark of Island history. I rejoice when I drive from my house on the north end to Burton and pass more than a dozen 100-year-old buildings. I love the look and character of Vashon. At times, when I’m feeling cynical, I
ISLAND HISTORY By BRIAN BRENNO realize Vashon was irrevocably changed some 30 years ago when we became more of a bedroom community. But then I realize that half of my friends here are among those newcomers, and in some ways change has made Vashon better for me. Oldtime Islanders hold onto the past and have a special unspoken bond. An example is the more than 1,500 friends of a Facebook page, Old Vashon Pictures and Stories, shared by multiple generations of former and current Islanders. People who were here during the bridge scare — when we had the same population as Issaquah — may feel the amount of growth on Vashon is tolerable when compared to the greater Puget Sound region. That brings me to Vashon Allied Arts and why I support its goals. For more than 30 years, VAA has been an excellent steward of the 100-year-old Blue Heron Arts Center, a King County landmark. VAA has kept the building a vital community space. What’s more, VAA is an economic engine for artists and patrons on Vashon. I recently asked VAA how much it paid out to artists; last year, I was told, the organization paid 367 artists a total of $300,130, supporting an arts economy that gives artists a chance to live and work here.

What I believed to be true turns out to have been be false. (“McFeeds is not an historic structure,� May 23 letter to the editor). I wrote that the McFeeds building was a World War II Quonset hut and that turns out to be wrong. The very kind Islander who called to correct me proved that it was built in the 1920s. I apologize to all of you for not checking my facts and for being so gullible in the first place.
I was somewhat taken aback by my portrayal as a “prankster� for my search for a lower rotator magnet for my small hadron collider. (“Free-wheeling VashonALL captures the Island’s attention,� May 16.) The exploration of the nanosphere is no laughing matter here on the south end. I take issue with my portrayal as a prankster and the false information reported in your paper.

A new arts center would increase opportunities for Island artists and ease facility access for performing groups. In the Main Street Vashon exhibit, there will be a photo of the old Vashon theater built in the early 1900s; it was a big square box with a false store front. If VAA’s building were built in that style, there would be a big box and a blank wall with few windows along Vashon Highway. Would that be better, less intrusive? Center — the intersection where the Blue Heron sits — has been a hub of business and community for more than 100 years, with buildings coming and going and changing. The VAA building is not the only building project in the works at the intersection; LS Cedar will be building soon also. Both projects are being done by longtime Island entities that hire Island employees and add to our community and the vitality of the Center neighborhood. Center will still be home to at least five historic buildings. I want that legacy to continue. I like the small town, big false-storefront feel of Vashon. I’m just not sure every building needs to have that look or that more modern architecture has no place in our commercial neighborhoods.

While the entrance to the tunnel complex IS in my backyard, the actual accelerator and proton synchrotron extend beneath Gig Harbor (the upper tunnel is leaking under Colvos Passage, but I think I have that under control). Also, to the nosey person poking into my scientific business, my methods for keeping hydrogen in its liquid state are my own and will not be disclosed to anyone. Acting on a tip from another forwardthinking person, I found the magnet I sought in building No. 2 at Grannies — at a real bargain, I might add. Like our wonderful credit union, The Tahlequah Hadron Collider project (THC for short) is something all Islanders can be proud of. By the way, I have released myself of membership and interest in VashonALL, as the trigger-happy new moderator censored my last post offering plans for a working distillery. The distillery was designed for manufacturing ethanol from cattails for use as a fuel in automobiles. This person thought that Island teenagers would procure the plans and set up a moonshine still. Teenagers are much smarter than that. There are many cottage industries that are far more profitable. — Tab Tabscott, Nanospherist
Leptospirosis

Health. Written documentation from this department concerning reported cases states that the initial leptospirosis surge seen between December 2005 and April 2006 showed 32 cases in dogs on Vashon and 10 elsewhere in the county, not the 60 Island cases reported in The Beachcomber. In a phone conversation with Sharon Hopkins, a King County public health veterinarian, I asked her about the multiple statements appearing in this article citing higher rates and numbers of leptospirosis cases occurring on Vashon. Dr. Hopkins stated that there have been no studies done to document such higher rates or numbers on Vashon and that, since the single surge in Vashon cases between December 2005 and April 2006, the distribution of all cases throughout King County has been very diffuse, with no particular area or locality, including Vashon, reporting higher rates or numbers of leptospirosis cases. There are currently no leptospirosis vaccines available in the United States, including the four-way leptospirosis vaccine, that contains the two strains of leptospirosis that are believed to cause the disease in this area. When asked if there has been any definitive documentation that any of the leptospirosis vaccines currently available in the U.S. would definitively protect dogs on Vashon and the rest of King County from the two strains we have, Dr. Hopkins indicated that she was not aware of any such documentation. Any Island resident can do an Internet search for “Canine leptospirosis in King County-2011� or call Dr. Hopkins at 2638454 for further information. — Larry Glickstein, DV

Speak up when volunteers get it right to back it up, but would guess that those who are the most critical of volunteers have never been one. The volunteer pool on Vashon seems to be getting smaller. My guess is that this is in large part due to the economy. More families on Vashon have two income earners leaving less “spare� time to take on the responsibility of a volunteer position. Which brings me to the unsung heroes of the volunteer minion: You can bet that the family members of a volunteer are making sacrifices so the volunteer can do his or her job. The Vashon Bounty Club has this figured out, making certain to thank the wives of Vashon High School’s football program at the end of the season with bouquets of flowers and a standing ovation. As nature would have it, most of these folks who are volunteering like crazy would be the first to say that they don’t want praise, flowers or standing ovations. Go ahead and do it anyway. They would also share that the experience of knowing they have made a difference makes volunteering a priceless endeavor. Next time you want to complain about the job a volunteer is doing, I ask that you take a deep breath and think hard before you shoot off a harsh word or email. Better yet, the next the time you think volunteers in your life did something great, tell them. Gratitude is so much more powerful than criticism.
By MARY KAY RAUMA For The Beachcomber
There’s a little engine that could that keeps this Island chugging merrily along: volunteers. They are at the food bank, the library, on sports fields, in churches, in our schools, on our stages — the thread that holds together the patchwork of communities that make up our Island. You can probably think of several that are enhancing your life in some way at this very moment. When was the last time you thanked them for sharing their time and talents? Here’s what I’ve observed about volunteers. They seem to have a lot on their plate (they do). They make their job look effortless (it isn’t). They seem to love what they do (not always). They know what they are doing (most are not “professionals� at their given task, just willing to take on a job that needs to be done). They don’t complain about their workload (more hours than you can imagine beyond what you see). They are selfdriven (they are human, kind words lift them up). It seems that the more volunteers are charged to accomplish and the higher their profiles, the more criticism they draw. I have a friend who would probably call herself a chronic volunteer. Chronic because she has experienced time and time again the dark side of putting yourself out there as a volunteer: complaints, demands or, in rare cases, an appalling disregard for the fact that a volunteer is doing just that: volunteering countless hours free of charge. I have no statistics

SCENE & HEARD: SPRING MAGIC AT THE MARKET
Summer Jumpstart!
The Farmers Market in the Village Green was a thriving place on Saturday, when several children enjoyed making bubbles and roughly 725 people attended, according to Rebecca Wittman, market manager. This was the eighth week for the market this season and notably — after two wet and chilly summers — the eighth sunny Saturday in a row. The day’s sales set a market record at $13,285. Wittman attributes the high attendance this year to the weather, the the mild winter that allowed farmers to offer produce from the first day and increased awareness of supporting local agriculture. “Everything feels more supported and abundant,� she said.

HOW A BELOVED SEATTLE MARKET HELPS TO FEED THE NEEDS OF
AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
When the owners of Uwajimaya Market wanted to relocate and enlarge an existing store in downtown Seattle, they turned to Bank of America. Since the 1950s, they’ve relied on us for financing to expand their operations, open new locations and grow their business. As a result, they’ve been able to better serve their customers, provide more jobs and strengthen their role as a focal point for the region’s diverse Asian community. Uwajimaya Market is another example of how we’re working to help small businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222.5 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.

Laughter is the best medicine for a local star By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Arts Editor
T
here’s nothing funny about a broken leg. Or is there?
Islanders will have a chance to find out on Friday night, when the curtain rises on the latest installment of Comedy Night at Red Bicycle Bistro. The show, presented quarterly, features local performers in a lively mix of stand-up and other forms of comedy. This week’s Comedy Night will show case seven different acts, including veteran funny man Steffon Moody. And that’s where the jokes about broken legs will come in. Moody, who has played a role in Comedy Night since its inception in 2007, is sporting a cast after breaking three bones in his leg. It all happened in good fun, he said, after the cleat in one of his shoes caught in a bit of turf as he attempted to slide into second base during an Island softball game. “I’ll have a lot of material about the whole incident,� Moody said, after being reached at home following surgery that involved doctors piecing his leg back together Comedy Night, slated for 8 p.m. Friday at Red Bicycle Bistro, costs $5, with proceeds benefitting Steffon Moody. Islanders can also contribute to a fund set up at Chase Bank’s Vashon branch. The account number is 3646276770. Comedy Night is recommended for adults.

A recent photo of performer Steffon Moody, taken for a photo spread of Islanders in The Beachcomber’s Destination Vashon, now seems eerily prescient, after Moody broke his leg last week playing softball. with one pin, three screws and a plate. “What’s not funny about flopping your broken foot around a softball field?� Moody, a multi-faceted performer who helped found UMO Ensemble and has gone on to win many admirers in the arts community, said the experience of breaking his leg fit in perfectly with his idea of comedy. “Comedy is all about taking tragedy and making it funny,� he said. “There is always a lot of funny wherever there is frustration — the heavier the hit, the bigger the laugh.� Jim Farrell, another Comedy Night regular who is hosting
Friday’s show, said he also plans to crack a few jokes at Moody’s expense. “Because we love Steffon, we’ll make fun of him,� Farrell said. But Friday’s show will also have a more serious aim — it’s a fundraiser to help Moody pay the costs of his medical expenses and lengthy recuperation. Moody doesn’t have health insurance — in part because he was dropped by Washington’s Basic Health insurance program during state budget cuts two years ago. At that time, and after subsequent cuts, thousands of other Washingtonians saw their state-subsidized health coverage
eliminated. Moody, a father of two who is married to performer, singer and Pilates instructor Arlette Moody, said he’s been unable to find other affordable health insurance, and that despite his attempts to put money aside in his own private health care account, he wouldn’t be able to come close to paying the costs of his surgery at Harborview or earn much income during his recuperation. He acknowledged that he had taken a risk by not having health insurance. “Arlette and I are both artist/ contractors, and we suffer the consequences of our choices,�
he said. “I don’t feel like railing against the system. I don’t feel this sense of rage or indignation.� Instead, he said, he has “surrendered� to the situation and is grateful for those on the Island who are already rallying to help him. At the season closer for Church of Great Rain, a popular Island variety show, donations were solicited to help Moody, and a special bank account has been set up for Islanders to contribute to the cost of his care. Word about Moody’s injury and ways to help him is already spreading quickly on Facebook. And at Friday’s Comedy Night, the show will go on — a reminder of all the delight Moody’s onstage antics and acrobatics have brought to Islanders over the years. The lineup, in addition to Farrell and Moody, will include Per Lars Blomgren, Harris Levinson, Richard Moore and Craig Sutherland. Nigel Larson, a working comedian from Tacoma, has been invited to give the evening a professional sheen. According to Farrell, the shows routinely sell out — a result, perhaps, of its ecumenical approach to nurturing local talent and recruiting new comedians. “We take all comers,� Farrell said, noting he got hooked on stand-up comedy after doing it for the first time at Comedy Night. “The perils are greater than any other type of performance, but the rewards are also greater,� he added. “If you can turn on a room and get them to laugh, that’s a drug unlike any other.�

‘Father’ of Vashon lacrosse ends his run By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
This month the man known by many as the father of Vashon lacrosse is stepping down. Charley Rosenberry, who founded the Vashon Lacrosse Club in 1991, is retiring from his position as head coach of the high school boys team and a leader in the club after more than two decades of what players and parents say has been sheer devotion to the sport. “He’s almost the definition of the word (dedication),â€? said Michael Hall, a former lacrosse player. Rosenberry, who also started Whitman College’s lacrosse program while he was a student there, began the Vashon Lacrosse Club with former Islander Vern Smith, starting it with just a handful of high school players. Since then he has helped grow the club to one with more than 150 girls and boys on multiple teams, with some players as young as third grade. Hall, who played lacrosse growing up on Vashon and now coaches alongside Rosenberry, credits the beloved coach for the club’s growth over the years. Hall said he remembers some early years when the high school team struggled with low numbers. Still, he said, Rosenberry showed up day after day with the same energy and enthusiasm. “He would always be encouraging and push us hard, even though we were in the years we’d count our one forfeit win as our win for the season,â€? Hall said. Rosenberry has become known for his passion on the field, sometimes yelling at the team during games, a coaching style Hall said motivates players. “He’s passionate. ‌ He’ll be loud and he’ll be vocal, but he’s doing it to try to motivate us and help us out,â€? Hall said. Over the past 21 years, Rosenberry has coached the high school boys team to two state championships and won a divisional Coach of the Year award twice. He was recently inducted into the Washington Boys High School Lacrosse Association Hall of Fame. Rosenberry, an attorney who represents youth The Vashon Lacrosse Club will hold an open house to honor Rosenberry from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 23, at 16229 Vashon Highway S.W. A short presentation will be held at 2 p.m. The club is collecting photos and memorabilia of Charley’s time with the club. To contribute, contact Laura Neuman at mae1331@ comcast.net by June 10.

Rosenberry retired from the club this year. offenders in juvenile detention, said stepping away from the program is bittersweet. “Seeing young people develop an interest and passion for lacrosse, and more importantly seeing them grow up and become really neat young people, has been a real joy,� he said. However, Rosenberry, 53, added that the club has kept him extremely busy for years now and he’d like to take time to pursue other interests, including a project to help youth transition back into their communities after begin detained. Rosenberry was quick to credit the Vashon Lacrosse Club’s success over the years to its other dedicated volunteers, and said he was leaving the program in very capable hands. “I’m a team person and it’s not about whatever awards I have gotten,� he said. “It’s really about Vashon lacrosse, and none of this would happen without support from parents and the board and players.�

Alumni game brings ball players together Vashon baseball enthusiasts are hoping for a large showing at the second annual Jim Martin Memorial Alumni Baseball game on Sunday. Steve Hall, coach of the Vashon High School baseball team, said that for years Vashon coaches and players thought of holding a yearly alumni game, but it never panned out. After Martin, a dedicated and beloved baseball volunteer, died in January last year, they thought it would be an appropriate way to honor him and held the first alumni game last spring. This year the game is being held later in the year, a move organizers hope will bring even more people to the event, rain or shine. Hall said Martin was a volun-
teer who gave above and beyond, contributing both financially and physically as a youth baseball volunteer at every age level. The high school baseball field was also named after Martin last spring. “He was an incredible man. ‌ I call him the dean of Vashon baseball,â€? Hall said. The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at the VHS field, with the first game being held at 11 a.m. A second game may follow, and there will also be a home run derby and a barbecue. Players should RSVP to Rita Allman at 423-2606 or rita55@ wavecable.com. The event is a fundraiser for the baseball program, and players will be asked to give a donation.

Josh made a huge impact this year on our team as a freshman. Josh is an outstanding pitcher who was voted onto the Nisqually all league team with a 2.18 ERA for the season. Josh is well beyond his years with his maturity and the work ethic he brings to the team. Josh plays baseball in the summer and is also a devoted basketball player on the island. Besides pitching Josh plays third base and spent time in the outfield as well. Josh has a very bright future in baseball and with all but two starters back and an exciting freshman class coming in we think it will be bright for the pirate nine as well!

property on the southern tip of Vashon, was chosen for the survey because of its varied landscape. Perla said the preserve is small compared to many Island parks — a manageable size for the first event — but still contains a forested area, a grassy meadow, a few small ponds and more than 2,000 feet of shoreline. The diverse habitat means the point is likely home to hundreds of different plant and animal species. “It’s just a neat habitat,� Perla said. “We could see some things we don’t see in other places.� Most BioBlitzes have a public outreach component, Perla said, with experts on hand to teach the public about local wildlife. However, since this weekend is Vashon’s first-ever blitz, Perla said, the small but enthusiastic corps of volunteers will focus their efforts on the survey itself. Even so, Perla said, the public is welcome at the event — as long as they’re willing to be put to work. At Neill Point, volunteer naturalists, as well as anyone who is up for the challenge, will break into groups to survey different types

An Anna’s hummingbird is one species that might be spotted at the BioBlitz. of life. One group, for instance, will scour the beach at low tide on Sunday to document shoreline plants and animals. Another will record birds they spot or identify by song on Sunday morning, while another will spend the nighttime hours trapping and releasing small mammals that are most active at night. Also in the evening, a group working to identify insects will make a tent of light out of a sheet to see what insects fly into it.
“I’m really hoping we get good weather so we can do that,� Perla said. “It’s really magical to see all these things at night.� Kathryn True, a naturalist and Vashon Nature Center volunteer who is helping organize the BioBlitz, said she hoped the event would be the first of many on Vashon. The center’s plan, she said, is to hold a survey at a Vashon park or preserve at least once a year and eventually return to spots sur-

veyed in the past and compare results. The data could eventually show how Vashon wildlife is changing — something that has not been measured in a significant way — and perhaps how human actions affect the Island’s ecosystems. The data, True said, could even be used to guide future landuse decisions. “It gives us an environmental baseline,� she said. “It can gauge how we’re affecting the environment, if we’re making it more conducive of less conducive for different forms of life.� Rayna Holtz, a naturalist and a leader in the Vashon Beach Naturalists program, plans to jump between the BioBlitz and the Beach Naturalists event also being held on Sunday. (See box below.) Neill Point, Holtz said, has an active landslide area that may change its habitat over time. Other factors, such as climate change, could also affect the area, something naturalists won’t know until they return to the point for another survey, she said. “We’ll see if there are species you see one time and not the other. You can speculate about it,� Holtz said. “Over a period of time it can enable the citizen naturalists to build up kind of a baseline of how things are changing.�
There are no established trails at Neill Point, meaning some volunteers will have to tromp through thick underbrush and muddy areas. But wildlife lovers who are willing and able to accompany them will likely find the trek worth it. Even inexperienced volunteers are welcome to join a group surveying the species they are most interested in — be it plants or amphibians — and can help out by simply acting as another set of eyes. “I think it would be enjoyable because it’s always infectious to be around naturalists that really know what they’re looking at,� Perla said. “You tend to get excited about things you never thought were possible.�
)PX UP WPMVOUFFS The bioblitz will take place from 3 p.m. Saturday, June 2, to 3 p.m. Sunday, June 3, at the Neill Point Natural Area, located at the end of Bachelor Road S.W. For more information see www. vashonnaturecenter.org. To RSVP for the event, contact Bianca Perla at info@ vashonnaturecenter.org or 463-9443.

Sarah Wright, a beach naturalist, displays a sea star at last year’s We Bring the Beach to You.
*TMBOE OBUVSBMJTUT CSJOH UIF CFBDI UP SFTJEFOUT While experienced naturalists will spend long hours this weekend combing Neill Point to survey its wildlife, those hoping to relax and experience wildlife up close should swing by Jensen Point on Sunday, when Island naturalists will “bring the beach to you.� At the third annual We Bring the Beach to You event, Vashon Beach Naturalists, with help from some junior naturalists from the Homestead School, will bring colorful starfish, sticky anemones, scuttling hermit crabs and huge moon snails to a place where they can be easily observed at the park. Many sea creatures can be touched or held, and the naturalists will tell stories about the strange habits of the animals that live in Quartermaster Harbor before returning them to the water. The event is ideal for the elderly, disabled and young children, people who can’t easily walk the shoreline in search of animals, said Rayna Holtz, one of the
event organizers. Chairs will be set up right by the parking lot, she said, as will tents that will shield visitors from either sun or rain. “We target people who aren’t very mobile,� Holtz said. However, Holtz added, the event typically attracts people of all ages, as it’s a fun and easy way to observe beach life. The event will be held during one of the lowest tides of the year; thus, animals usually underwater will be briefly exposed. Last year, when it was held at Lisabeula Park, visitors got a special treat when a small octopus was found and placed in a tank for viewing. The year before at Jensen Point, sea urchins, rarely spotted in Vashon’s nearshore, were found. “You never know what you might find,� Holtz said. We Bring the Beach to You will be held at Jensen Point from 10 a.m. to noon on Sunday, June 3.

going to try to impart to people that they should take a stand.� They also said the survey is a milestone for VARSA, which received a federal grant three years ago to begin to address the issue of teen substance use on the Island — where use is higher than that reported by teens statewide and in other similar communities.

cat. She is independent and once she trusts you, she loves to connect. She isn’t a needy cat but she loves sitting on your lap when the mood strikes. She loves being brushed and will do well in a home with middle age children. Her other family had to give her up when their son began showing allergic symptoms. Whoever chooses Miss Chips will have a special cat indeed.
