Vashon High School: A new era begins

Groundbreaking took place under sunny skies, with kids at center stage
Open house at Mukai thwarted by cyclone fence

Last week, the Vashon Island School District broke ground on the largest-ever capital project on the Island — the new Vashon High School building — and no one, it seemed, was left out at the celebratory event. Taking center stage at Friday’s gathering, the VHS class of 2024, currently kindergartners, took their task seriously as they earnestly dug at the hard-packed sod where the new building will sit. Surrounding the children, full-sized shovels were hoisted not only by students, teachers, administrators and school board members, but also by parents, business owners, volunteers and community leaders. All told, hundreds of Islanders — including a veritable who’s who of Vashon — turned out for the event, held under sunny skies and followed by a picnic lunch. Moments before shovels hit the ground, Tom Langland, who co-owns the Vashon Pharmacy, said it was not the school district that should be commended. Langland, a VHS graduate and the keynote speaker at Friday’s event, said the district owes it to Vashon

What’s more, Langland noted, the $47.7 million building is a huge investment, theoretically equating to $4,300 per resident, or $200 from each Islander for 20 years. “That includes all the babies,” he said with a smile. The new high school, set to be completed in late 2013, will trans-
form what is now a sprawling campus comprised of five buildings into a single, two-story structure. The new building’s two large wings will be connected by a two-story, light-filled dining commons and an equally dramatic study commons that will double as a space for community meetings and team teaching. The building will also have a large courtyard, a clear main entrance — something it currently
lacks — and a new theater. “I tell everyone it’s going to be wonderful,” said VHS principal Susan Hanson after thrusting her own golden shovel into the sod. Hanson also addressed high schoolers at the groundbreaking, bluntly telling students they would have to put up with a year and a half of construction fences, SEE GROUNDBREAKING, 17
Around 100 people gathered to take a tour of the famed Mukai Farmhouse Monday night, only to be greeted by a hastily erected cyclone fence that barred them from entering the property. Those who had organized the event — several Islanders attempting to bring new leadership to the nonprofit that owns the farmhouse — held their gathering anyway, doing so on the street in front of the property and using the fence to illustrate their point. “This is no surprise,” Lynn Greiner, a lawyer and member of the new board, told the people gathered around her, nodding towards the fence. “Part of the problem is that they act like this is their house.” Glenda Pearson, president of the new board, noted that Mary Matthews, who founded the nonprofit, pledged years ago that she’d make the property an educational center open to the public. “Is it open to the public?” Pearson said to laughter.

Springer’s remarkable journey
A decade later, a beloved orca is thriving By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Mark Sears Photo
Springer was often seen spy-hopping near the north-end ferry dock.
Ten years ago, a young, orphaned killer whale temporarily made Vashon her home, captivating Islanders and researchers from around the region. Springer, as she came to be known, lived for six months near the north-end ferry dock, seeking out human companionship, playing with what was at hand — seals, a stick, some seaweed — and fishing for salmon. All the while, researchers and others tried to determine what to do about this unusual animal in a most unusual predicament.
In the end, after a herculean and costly effort, Springer became the only whale to be reintroduced successfully to her family. In the years since, she’s been the subject of books and articles, an Emmy Award-winning documentary and yearly health assessments. Now 12 years old, Springer is said to be thriving. A celebration to mark the decade since her return home and her remarkable story will be held this Saturday at the Alki Bathhouse. West Seattle whale researcher Mark Sears spent a considerable amount of time observing Springer and SEE SPRINGER, 15

Next week the state Department of Natural Resources will present a revised map of where mooring buoys will be allowed in Quartermaster Harbor under the department’s proposed buoy plan. The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 27, at McMurray Middle School. The map has been updated since last month’s meeting, attended by about 80 Islanders, based on feedback received at the meeting as well as information gathered by a buoy survey the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has begun at the harbor. The creation of the map is the next step in a long-term project by DNR to clear the harbor of abandoned buoys and make the bay safer for boats. The map focuses on the most congested parts of the harbor at Dockton

and Burton, and under the buoy plan, some buoys would be required to move. Once the plan is finalized this summer, the public will be able to comment on it as part of an environmental review. Toni Droscher, a DNR spokeswoman, said officials will continue to take feedback on the plan at next week’s meeting and will also show EPA photos of buoys and anchors in the harbor. Some buoys in the harbor, Droscher said, do not comply with state law. Droscher said DNR officials also hope to see more buoy license applications submitted at the meeting. Eventually any buoys that aren’t registered with the state or do not comply with regulations will be removed. — Natalie Johnson

He left Chicago for Seattle three years ago to be with his partner Heather Corinna, a writer, photographer and sex education advocate. The couple moved to Vashon two years ago. “I feel like people have moved here and want to live here ‌ because it’s a special place.

Marsh, 44, who currently works as a supervisor at a teen crisis residential center in Seattle, moved to Vashon two years ago. During his tenure in Evanston, he was president of the city’s chamber of commerce board. He also co-founded and organized the Evanston Grand Prix, a professional, international bicycle race that draws 500 cyclists and 20,000 spectators.

Episcopal church takes time to reflect on a century of service
By NATALIE JOHNSON
Staff Writer
At first glance, new posters depicting the history of the Church of the Holy Spirit look as if they were lifted from a U.S. history book or one about Vashon’s past. Amidst photos and text about the Episcopal church’s storied history — artfully created by a committee of parishioners, with one decade on each panel — are images of local and national events: wars and assassinations, pop music and the moon landing, the Asarco plume and the 1970 bombing of Vashon’s courthouse. “We’re not a little rural chapel set apart,� said Rev. Carla Pryne, the church’s priest. “That was their context. They tried to understand what was the place of their parish and their faith in the world they lived in.� This year the Church of the Holy Spirit celebrates 100 years of worship and outreach on Vashon. And they’re not holding back during what Pryne calls an exciting time to be a part of the small congregation. The church’s centenary has already been marked with the creation of a new processional cross, ornately carved from 200-yearold Alaskan yellow cedar, and the planting of a centennial tree, a brightly colored coral bark maple that now sits just outside the building’s fellowship hall. Last month a
centennial celebration, where the history panels were unveiled, and centennial worship service were both attended by Bishop Greg Rickel, head of the Episcopal Church in Western Washington. “It’s a big deal when a bishop comes,� Pryne said. “But to have him here for the centennial was especially exciting.� More importantly, Pryne said, the centennial has become a time for the congregation to reflect on where they’ve come from. She and David Swain, who chairs the church’s centennial committee, said parishoners have been amazed to learn of the tenacity of the congregation’s founding members, many of them women, who sustained the church through several changes in location and struggled to bring a minister from off-Island each Sunday until the parish was finally headed by its own vicar in 1949. “It was not a straight line,� Pryne said. “(They had) a spirit of persistence and determination and loyalty to the vision that they wanted an Episcopal church here. It’s inspiring.� Swain said the generosity of Vashon’s Episcopalians also stands out over the past century. The congregation’s first building, a small chapel at Portage that they called Christ Church, was built on donated land in 1913. During the 1960s, the will of a Church of the Holy Spirit member paid off the balance of a newly purchased piece of land for

In the background, panels made for the centennial tell of the church’s history. the church. And just half a dozen year’s later, a living member paid off the mortgage for the building north of town, where the church still meets. “That’s not a common story,� Swain said. “You see churches laboring under mortgages for a long time.� Today, as it has been in the past, outreach is central to the Church of the Holy Spirit’s mission. A cruise through the church’s history tells of camps for the blind, outreach to youth and services at the local nursing home. During the 1970s the congregation supported a Cambodian refugee family; the Wednesday night community dinners that

began in 1990 continue today. Church of the Holy Spirit members also take their volunteer efforts beyond the church walls, Pryne said. One group of women recently helped found Vashon Earth Care, an ecumenical group devoted to environmental stewardship. “This parish is chock full of activists,� Pryne said. “It’s crammed with people active on the Island and in the wider world.� Pryne, who came to the Church of the Holy Spirit two years ago, said perhaps one of the congregation’s greatest outreach tools is the large, grass labyrinth that sits just north of the church building.

every faith use the labyrinth, an ancient spiritual practice with pre-Christian roots. “It’s a way of going into your inner workings that’s not a book or a preacher, not a community,â€? Pryne said. “Often people go in with an intention — a grief process, to meditate on a scripture passage or ‌ with the intention of asking and inviting God’s presence.â€? And just as the labyrinth draws those from all walks of life, Pryne says, the Church of the Holy Spirit strives to be a place where anyone feels comfortable walking through the front doors. For instance, she said, one church member also participates in Buddhist mediation practices and another is the spouse of a Jew who worships elsewhere. Swain said that although church leadership would like to see more younger people join the parish, they’re pleased with the size of the congregation and the diversity it has drawn. “People are coming because people are inviting them, and people here are enjoying being here,â€? Swain said. A religious exploration

class that began in recent years has helped attendants consider their beliefs, Pryne said, and last year a series on spirituality in mid-life drew both Christians and non-churchgoers. “We support people in their search for God,� she said. “We’re not trying to change people or make them like us. What we are trying to do is welcome them and give them tools of a spiritual nature and help them worship in community.� This Friday the church will open its doors for a concert by acclaimed harpsichordist Jillon Dupree (see story, page 12). The concert will also raise money for the church’s music program, now headed by Islander Paul Swenson, a talented composer who has boosted the program and even writes original worship songs. Some say Pryne, who brought Swenson to the church, has ushered in a new era there. Before she came, the parish went through two interim priests and experienced some bumps in the road as they searched for a replacement. Islander Rex Stratton
began attending the church when Pryne, whom he knew from her time at St. Mark’s Cathedral in Seattle, came on board. He said he’s impressed with her leadership style and has seen the congregation grow under her direction. “I came because of Carla and her strength as a minister,� Stratton said. “She has absolutely incredibly good sermons and has a really nice view of Christianity.� As the church continues its celebrations, Pryne said members are looking ahead to how they can take up the spirit of those whose stories are laid out on the history panels. In an effort to reach out to an even wider demographic, members hope to boost their children’s ministry, and in the fall they will pilot a new weeknight service to focus more on music and appeal to those who may not attend a Sunday morning service. “We ask ourselves today ... how do we speak of the grace we know and the hope we hold in our world and on this Island,� Pryne said. “We don’t have faith in a void ... but part of a much broader community.�

The county has to meet a July 1 deadline set by the state Legislature six years ago, when the county — at the state’s behest — established six “marine recovery areas� (or MRAs) on Vashon. The goal of the program is to ensure that septic systems along ecologically rich stretches of shoreline are in good working order, enabling the state to restore shellfish beds currently closed to harvests due to contamination. The county has struggled to garner compliance on Vashon, where several property owners have homes on tiny lots perched right above Puget Sound. In the last several months, however, the majority of the 263 homeowners in the MRAs have responded, said Larry Fay, a manager for Public Health - Seattle & King County. To date, he said, 196 homes — or 75 percent of them — are in full compliance, and another 31 homeowners, or 12 percent, are in the process of getting designs approved or new systems installed. Another 36 homeowners,
or 14 percent, have not responded, he said. “There’s a lot of good news,� Fay said. “To now be at 85 percent at some level of compliances is really, really encouraging.� For the most part, the 196 homes in compliance are owned by people who got their septic systems inspected and found they did not need to be repaired, Fay said. The fact that so many homes did not have failing systems, he added, “meant the magnitude of the problem is not as great as we’d expected.� But those 31 homeowners now in the process of getting new systems approved or installed as well as the 36 homeowners who have yet to respond own septic systems that appear to be polluting the Sound, he said. “When we have these remaining systems repaired, I can say, ‘Yes, Puget Sound will be healthier,’� he said. But some Island activists remain frustrated that the county still hasn’t secured state or federal grants to help homeowners with the high costs of septic design and repair. “We’re trying to make sure the county is making every good-faith effort to get some funding,� Tim Johnson, head of the VashonMaury Island Community Council, said.

The Beachcomber strives to be an honest broker, an independent voice on an island where loyalties run deep and passions strong. It’s not easy, and of course at times we stray from that careful line. But for the most part, we refrain from what’s called “advocacy journalism� (think “Mother Jones�) and instead employ an impartial, measured voice. Our goal is not to be perfectly objective — that’s out of reach — but to be fair, to consider all sides.

The fact is, VAA will likely always get great press from the paper, because it’s a small and nimble organization that packs quite a punch — producing a remarkable array of shows and events and hosting a rich selection of classes that appeal to a wide range of Islanders. It’s woven into the fabric of this community. It touches nearly everyone on this Island. At the same time, VAA is in the midst of a challenging process, attempting to secure a green light to build a large structure on a constrained site. The county is raising questions about VAA’s surface water management plan, the amount of parking in its design, the impact of the structure on the historic nature of Center and a few other issues. It’s a public process, as well it should be. And The Beachcomber is attempting to cover it as fairly as possible, with room for both sides to get their say. The same holds true with the Letters to the Editor section, where we’ve run every letter we’ve received on this issue. This week’s opinion page is a case in point. (Our policy is to run all letters that meet our guidelines — stated at the top of this page — though occasionally a letter falls through the cracks.) The Beachcomber is not opposed to VAA’s project. We have a few specific concerns, most of which we’ve expressed directly to the organization and in editorials over the years. But we also believe the Blue Heron Arts Center is wholly inadequate to meet the organization’s needs, and we clearly see that a new structure is in order, The process will continue, and stories will follow. And very likely, at some point in the near future, The Beachcomber will run a front-page story about a groundbreaking for a new arts center, an event replete with golden shovels and heady speeches. That, too, will be part of the process, and The Beachcomber will chronicle it. It’s what we do.
Coming to grip with change is a challenging process. While we always have our treasured memories, historically significant properties need “updating� to remain viable. This community is up to the task of welcoming the Vashon Performing Arts Center, reviving the Mukai farmhouse and garden and upgrading the projection equipment at our Vashon Theatre. Each serves as a catalyst for new vibrancy on our island. Whether your passion is restoration, movies or performing arts, it’s time to show your support. Our passion is for the arts. Through the gracious philanthropy of a lead donor, we have an opportunity to move forward with a new arts facility. A performing arts theater offers all Islanders the opportunity to explore, be inspired and to participate in the arts without having to take the time or spend the money to catch a ferry. The community has been involved in the design process of the center, which will provide a much-needed dedicated stage with excellent acoustical capabilities. Assuring a safe environment as well as accommodating persons with special needs have been priorities. Funds have been placed in trust to ensure that VAA programs will remain affordable. We feel strongly this center blends into our rural nature and is critical for the sustainability of our island. Let’s savor the creative talent that abounds on this special island! Being sensitive to our island’s environmental concerns, plans for mitigation will preserve and enhance the VAA wetland area. Electrical service has been designed in the new arts center to accommodate a generator connection for fire department use in an Island emergency. Sometimes one has to remember what’s gone, appreciate what still remains and look forward to what’s coming next. Those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future, according to John F. Kennedy. — Mary & Whit Carhart
I’d like to add my voice to the growing chorus of Islanders — many longtime supporters of our vibrant arts community — who are, nevertheless, opposed to the current design for the proposed Vashon Allied Arts building. Many are drawn to our island to enjoy the wonderful balance and harmony of man and nature to be found here. Why not a design that more closely reflects our island community’s distinct identity as such? Why not a design sympathetic to our ecological and historical environment? — Michael R. Goth
— Deena Eber
Vashon, I am concerned and dismayed over Vashon Allied Arts’ proposed performing arts center. Per the recent Beachcomber article, the proposed site is on one of four corners of historic value to the county and the Island. While the current building on the site is not historic (McFeeds), the flavor of the corner is reminiscent of an earlier age. I am not suggesting that all construction or modifications of structures throughout the county be stopped in time and ignore progress in materials and technology, but I do believe certain aspects of historic value representing our heritage from earlier times should be protected and preserved if possible. And, in this case, it is possible. The proposed VAA project would erect a contemporary urban structure in the immediate vicinity of the historic structures. The structure is out of keeping in size and design with the neighborhood and with the adjacent Blue Heron building, a designated historic structure. The Blue Heron, now one of the community hubs for the arts, could become an abandoned architectural anomaly next to the new structure and without a published budget to support it. If the design team’s effort was to avoid “a literal resemblance of historic styles� (Beachcomber, May 23), it

achieved that goal in the extreme, creating a design that does not come close to fitting the site in an architecturally integrated manner. The building would be placed too close to the roadway so that its grandiose size and design would loom over the intersection and surrounding buildings. Vashon is small in both size and population. The VAA blog says it hopes the performing arts center will become a “regional hub� for the arts. Again, this is unrealistic and unnecessary given Vashon’s proximity to Seattle and Tacoma, which have international acclaim for their many facilities and exhibits. The essence of VAA’s Blue Heron is that it is a community arts center.

I have a few concerns. Firstly, as young people leave the nest, I hope they receive updated advice. Education is paramount, but investing tens of thousands in a college degree (as a matter of course) is dangerously old school. Please remember that who you are and finding your passion is what matters most. Secondly, we have Island development issues, which presume this recession is nearing its end. Throwing money at problems and “getting bigger� are old school solutions that may not work anymore. Thirdly, while I feel sorry for the public outing that Tracy N. Morgan has received, I’m glad people are reminded that Vashon is not 100 percent safe. He’s not the worst our island has to offer. Fourthly, long before the end of oil, we will face “the end of safety.� The end of safe water, safe soil, safe air, safe food, etc. What comes next? Our fatal flaw, as a species, is our over-adaptability — meaning, if people can adapt to living in Mexico City, where the air quality equals smoking three packs a day, then, is that a good thing? There is a general assumption that our ability to adapt will save us. But our ability to adapt to -&55&34 $0/5*/6& /&95 1"(&

unhealthy things may actually lead to our long-term demise. It is not enough to “adapt.� We have to adapt intelligently! Finally, I agree with Laurie Geissinger and Mark Graham. Just like the school bond issue, questioning the current proposal for the Vashon Allied Arts’ performance hall has been misconstrued as a vote against our artistic community, shutting down valuable conversation. Frankly, I had hoped it would look more historic and ooze down the slope, complementing the serene ambiance of its neighboring buildings. I believe the current towering structure plus parking lot will ruin the feeling of the intersection. — March Twisdale
Dogs
1FUT DBO CF OVJTBODFT OFFE UP CF DPOUBJOFE Recently, arriving home, my wife found two dogs, a rottweiler mix and a pit bull mix, running almost all the way up the quartermile drive to our house.

a Douglas fir a little ways back in the woods. It took us about a half an hour to talk her into climbing down. I don’t know if the dogs chased her up. What I do know after a little research is that dogs running “at large� in the county are, by definition, “nuisances,� subject to impounding and fines, as is any domestic animal that “enters on a person’s property without the permission of that person.� That’s no different from the fellows with the meat truck coming up to the house and setting up their shop on my porch. A nuisance, and trespassing. And the dogs’ owners are responsible for their dogs’ trespassing, just as much as if they themselves came to my door uninvited. I wish we could get the distinction clear: “domestic� and “wild.� Wild comes from before people and includes ants, termites, wasps, bees, hummingbirds, crows, as well as raccoons and deer. With the wild, there was and never will be any question of ownership and boundaries. We can, of course, shoot and poison. Whether we like it or not, they’ll visit and range. Domestic is our human overlay. There are boundaries and laws. There is responsibility. We people can be more or less thoughtful,
careful, civil. From our domestic cat to someone’s domestic dogs: You’re a nuisance; stay off my property. I don’t enjoy climbing up and down 40 feet of tree. — Cal Kinnear
Rumble strips

The injured was an experienced daily bicycle commuter who swerved off the narrow, twolane road onto a non-shoulder and took a tumble. Vashon’s great rumble crises is an opportunity to focus Islanders’ energy to transform our Island’s auto-centric transport system into a needed safe bicycle transportation system, including paths and safe lanes. Perhaps the energy generated in this crisis can be harnessed into longer term effective political action to design and adopt a safe bike transportation system plan for our Island. It is ironic that Vashon, the home of many bike innovations, is devoid of a bicycle transporta-
SUMMER CAMPS FOR KIDS
As a student who has been part of band for my entire Vashon High School career, as well as during my three years of middle school, I am deeply saddened by the exclusion of any sort of band recognition in my senior yearbook. While I know that this simply must have been a mistake, I am requesting that, at the very least, the six graduating band members receive an alternate yearbook that includes photos of the band during at least one of the various events we attended — graduation, football games, basketball games, homecoming, etc., free of charge. This does not seem unreasonable, considering that my family has spent well over $1,600 to support me, as have other families on their band students, so that we could pursue our musical endeavors throughout the course of our high school careers. I would truly like my and my classmates’ memories of Vashon High School to be complete and positive in our future years of nostalgia.

We were told there were several other buyers interested in the house we recently bought, so we put in an offer for a bit more than asking price and waived the inspection contingency. Now that we’ve moved in we’re finding all kinds of things wrong. My father-in-law was here from Ohio and told us we were fools for buying what he called a “pig in a poke�. He also said that some of the repairs needed could be expensive. I’m just sick about it. We feel that our agent pressured us and we wonder if you think he would be responsible for paying for some of the repairs.

tion plan, such as those found in most communities in our greater metropolitan area. Seattle has budgeted $250,000 to update its very expansive five-year bike transportation plan and action program. Seattle, as well as most of our metro area, has made substantial progress in constructing miles of bike paths and safe lanes during the last five years. One might ask why Vashon Island remains a big white blank in King County Department of Transportation’s Bike Transportation Map. Why have the needs of the bicycle transport failed to be addressed in the county’s Vashon transportation planning and decision making? Why did the Department of Transportation not consider bicycle use when it spent huge sums resurfacing many of the Island’s roads a year or so ago or on other recent DOT decisions such as the rumble strips. The words of Amiee Semple McPherson may be appropriate in today’s context when she told the grangers to stop raising corn and start raising hell in their fight against the railroads. It may be time now to stop riding on the shoulders and start raising hell.

Trigg Insurance Quote Drive Fundraiser Through June!
A:
To get a definitive answer to your question about your agent’s responsibilities you should consult an attorney. I don’t know the details of your transaction and I’m not a lawyer, but I know that it’s always tempting to find someone else to blame when we make a bad decision. I never advise someone to buy a home without an inspection. However, a pre-inspection can be a good compromise. That’s when you have a quick inspection before making your offer. That way you know what you’re getting and can drop the inspection contingency if you still want to buy the home. For now, I would recommend you get an inspection so that you have a detailed list of work orders. Discuss these with the inspector and the contractor you choose. Prioritize the work to be done and get to it. My concerns are always the roof, crawl space or basement, and electrical. These are the most important, in my experience. If any of these need attention get that work done as soon as possible. Plumbing is also important, especially if there are plumbing leaks. Small leaks now can become serious and expensive problems later. Leave the cosmetic things for later. You must have liked the house the way it is or you wouldn’t have bought it, so wait on paint, fixtures and floor covering until after any major repairs are done. And please, spend some time enjoying your new home.

dead-end street where the farmhouse sits was the latest turn of events in a dramatic tug-of-war over Island Landmarks, the organization Matthews founded more than a decade ago and that Island activists say is no longer legally constituted. Earlier this month, dozens of Islanders — new members of Island Landmarks — held a meeting where they ousted Matthews and the board’s three other officers, putting 11 Island activists in their place. On Monday, the new board filed a lawsuit against Matthews and her husband J. Nelson Happy, Texas residents. Also named in the suit are the old board’s two other officers — Ken DeFrang, who lives next door to the farmhouse, and Owen Ryan, a North Carolina resident. According to the suit, the former officers have acted illegally, using the farmhouse for their own personal use, stripping it of some of its historic artifacts, failing to adhere to the requirements of public grants they received and co-mingling their personal assets with those of the nonprofit. The lawsuit, crafted by Island attorney Rex Stratton over the weekend, calls on the court to declare the newly elected officers the rightful leaders of the organization. It also calls on the former officers to account for all of their transactions and asks the court to impose monetary damages on them. “You have two people who have hijacked a nonprofit corporation that had been given substantial taxpayer money to acquire this property and who ‌ have totally mismanaged it,â€? Stratton said, referring to Matthews and Happy. “How do you take it back? ‌ That’s what the whole issue is here.â€?

Glenda Pearson looks at photos of the farmhouse and the Mukai family that Mary Matsuda Gruenewald, right, brought with her to the event. Matthews, reached Monday, declined to comment. But Happy called The Beachcomber later on Monday and said the new board acted illegally when it seized control of Island Landmarks. “They’re definitely not the rightful board. They did not follow the bylaws,� he said. For instance, he said, only the treasurer can deposit checks in Island Landmarks’ account; because checks from dozens of new members were deposited by someone not on the board, those Islanders are not new members and thus weren’t able to elect a new board, Happy said. He and Matthews would be happy to turn over the farmhouse to a well-funded group interested in historic preservation, he added,

noting that he has poured about $300,000 of his money into the property. “It’s not just a little local site that a few personally motivated individuals can control. It’s a national treasure. And we have to come up with a plan for its future,â€? he said. Those who gathered for the open house Monday night, meanwhile, said they were disappointed to find a fence barring their entrance. Dozens of Islanders walked along the perimeter, looking in at the modest farmhouse, built by B.D. Mukai in 1928, and the traditional Japanese garden, designed by his wife Kuni, a first-generation JapaneseAmerican. On the other side of the fence, two people worked on the garden, and a ladder was up against the pale green house, next to an overhang that’s beginning to rot and crumble. Matthews, dressed in white pants and a white tunic, was also spotted in the yard, talking to DeFrang and pulling weeds. “I’m disappointed. I think the new board did a wonderful job,â€? said Merrilee Runyan, as she stood on the street. “I wish Mary had been graceful. ‌ There’s tremendous support for this effort, for bringing home Island Landmarks, for reconstituting it.â€? “This is so unfortunate.

organization and one of the funders that helped Island Landmark purchase the house a decade ago. Mary Matsuda Gruenewald, a JapaneseAmerican who knew B.D. Mukai and who used to babysit his grandson Milton, came from Seattle for the event. Gruenewald, who wrote a memoir called “Looking Like the Enemy: My story of imprisonment in Japanese-American internment camps,� brought several old, black-and-white photographs with her, including one that showed her as a teenage girl holding baby Milton and sitting in the farmhouse’s living room. “I was looking forward to going in the house,� Gruenewald said, noting she hasn’t been inside it in years. “I can’t believe this. ... I am enraged. ... I don’t have any patience for this.� Happy, meanwhile, decided to hold his own meeting Monday evening at the farmhouse to discuss the property’s fate; he emailed invitations Saturday to several Islanders, though not to any of the new board members. He later changed his mind and on Monday put up several signs along the fence, noting the meeting was cancelled. Initially, those signs said, “Meeting cancelled due to rain.� But by Monday evening, the rain had stopped, and the bottom of all the signs were torn off, so that each one read, simply, “Meeting cancelled.�

Last stop before college: They’re off to see the wizard By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Arts Editor
S
tudents of Vashon Dance Academy will take audiences over the rainbow this weekend with a high-flying interpretation of “The Wizard of Oz� — a show that seems a particularly appropriate fit for some of the dancers.
There are almost 120 Islanders in the cast, but nine of them — much like the iconic character of Dorothy in her ruby red shoes — are about to set off on an uncharted path to a strange new world. These nine young women — Carlie-Sue Anderson, Olivia Andrus, Audrey Figgins, Neah Lynch, Odessa Martin, Summer Peet, Lizzy Schoen, Rachel Taylor and Chloe Zimberg — are all headed to college in the fall. And although many of them plan to continue to study dance, this weekend’s show will mark the last time they take the stage together as dance academy students. Zimberg, who will double major in dance and another, yet-to-be decided field at the University of San Francisco, is cast in the show as Dorothy. She said that much about the familiar tale is hitting close to home. “In the last scene, when Dorothy is saying goodbye to all her friends, and they all swirl around me and leave, it’s not even like we’re in a show at that point,� she said. “It’s total reality.� Taylor, who will dance the roles of the witch’s broom and the Cowardly Lion in the show, agreed. “There are parts of this we can all identify with,� she said. “We’re all going off on a new adventure, and it’s exciting but it’s scary too.� All nine seniors recently huddled backstage at a rehearsal for the show at Vashon High School, and when asked what they’d do when the final curtain came down on “The Wizard,� they answered as one. “Cry,� several said, their voices an echo chamber. “Hug,� a few others chimed in. Meanwhile, out on the stage, dance academy founder Cheryl Krown was putting younger students through the steps of a scene in the show. After that, a group of

These were “dance dads,� taking part in a longtime tradition that gives cameo roles to the fathers of dance academy students.
Krown, a vivacious, ponytailed presence, laughed and yelled encouragement at the men as they comically pranced through their paces as apple trees in the show.
The Vashon Dance Academy — now in its 16th year on Vashon — is known for innovative, high-gloss productions that incorporate ballet, modern and world funk in the telling of beloved stories. Past shows have included “Peter Pan,� “Willy Wonka,� “Snow White� and “Aladdin.� Krown recalled that some of the dancers who are now graduating from the program first danced with her 15 years ago, in the dance academy’s first production of “The Wizard of Oz.� “The first time, they were the little baby bluebirds that flew over the rainbow,� she said. “How perfect is that?� Like past productions, “The Wizard� has been a labor of love for not only Krown and her dancers, but also other artists and volunteers working behind the scenes. Jenna Riggs, a professional designer and illustrator whose two daughters attend the dance academy, has designed the set and supervised a crew of volunteer painters. Josh Randall, a lighting and special effects expert, has contributed his usual professional sheen to the show. But when Randall’s lights come up on the show, a more metaphorical spotlight will shine on the nine graduating seniors, as the production places the final punctuation mark at the close of the years they spent growing up together at the dance academy. Carlie-Sue Anderson, double cast with Schoen as the Wicked Witch in the show, said that she still had a hard time believing her dance academy years were ending. “It’s kind of surreal,� she said. “It’s hard to wrap your mind around.� But Rachel Taylor pointed out another, more comforting parallel to the story line of “The Wizard of Oz.� “A lot of us seniors have been dancing together a long time and are really good friends,� she said. “So we can always come home. This will always be our home.� Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 1:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Vashon High School. Tickets, $13 and $11, are available at Vashon Bookshop and Pampered Paws.
A star in the world of baroque music plays her first concert on Vashon Acclaimed harpsichordist Jillon Stoppels Dupree will make her Island debut at a concert at the Church of the Holy Spirit Friday night. It’s a fundraiser to benefit the music ministry of the Episcopal church, which is currently in the midst of celebrating its centenary as a house of worship on Vashon. The concert was arranged by the church’s pastor, Rev. Carla Pryne, who said it seemed a perfect way to celebrate the church’s long history on Vashon. Both at the church and on the Island, she said, there has been a history of exceptional music performances. “Music and drama are at the heart of Vashon,� Pryne said.

Jillon Stoppels Dupree “We come together in the arts here, and share in the holiness of beauty.� Dupree has captivated audi-
ences in cities around the world. Her career as a recording artist has included a highly praised performance with the Northwest Chamber Orchestra of a concerto for harpsichord and chamber orchestra by Philip Glass. A recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship and the National Endowment for the Arts Solo Recitalists grant, she has taught at the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, the University of Washington and the University of Michigan. She is currently the harpsichordist with Magnificat Baroque Ensemble and the Seattle Symphony. She is also on the early music faculty of Seattle’s Cornish College of the Arts and is founding
director of the Gallery Concerts, an early music series in Seattle. Paul Swenson, an awardwinning composer, organist and the director of music ministries at Church of the Holy Spirit, will join Dupree for the last piece of the recital. Swenson, who has a 25-year history as a church musician, said he was very excited to perform with Dupree. “Her tempos and her ornaments are legendary,� he said, referring to Dupree’s musical style. “Every one is elegant and perfect and never lacking.� The chance to hear her perform in the intimate setting of the Church of the Holy Spirit is a rare one, he said.
“She doesn’t really ever play in a small place with the intimate acoustics we have,� Swenson said. “You’ll be able to hear every attack, the breathing, the attack on the keys.� The concert’s repertoire will begin with a sonata by J.S. Bach and will include a selection of theatrical pieces by 18th century French composers. “It’s a chance to hear repertoire that is curious and rarely heard,� said Swenson.
—Elizabeth Shepherd The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Church of the Holy Spirit. A $20 donation is suggested.

remembers her time here well. “It was a big deal to have a lone whale like that, especially all by itself,� he said. “It was a really unique situation.� Springer, whose scientific name is A73, is a member of Canada’s Northern resident whale population, a group that ranges from mid-Vancouver Island and north up the coast. “We don’t get those whales in Puget Sound,� Sears said. But, in fact, from January to June of 2002, Springer was very much here, and according to Sears, mostly ventured no more than a half-mile out from the busy dock before she circled back. Islander Kimm Shride, a longtime traffic attendant at the north-end dock, recalls spotting Springer sporadically as early as November of 2001. She noted, though, that Springer did not fully take up residence until midJanuary, when one of the ferry workers — a friend of Sears — called Sears to tell him about the wayward whale. In the months that ensued, she said, ferry workers saw her most everyday and worried if she was missing for long. Orcas are notoriously sociable creatures, and Springer sought people out, Shride recalled. She had a particular affinity for one ferry worker; when she came out, Springer would roll on her back and clap her fins together, and when one of the boats was tied up, she would often go underneath, click and bang

Ann Stateler and Odin Lonning observed Springer often during her time off the waters of Vashon. Lonning, an artist, holds a print of a portion of a carving he created for the Seattle Aquarium. Springer is depicted in the carving. against, until the workers on it came out to greet her, Shride recalled. Islander Lesley Reed, who is finishing a children’s novel about Springer, was also a frequent Springer visitor with her husband and then-kindergarten-age son. “It felt like a gift to have this sweet, beautiful creature visiting with us,� she said. Springer’s tenure in the waters off Vashon followed a difficult stretch and served as a particularly welcome counterpoint to both the Nisqually earthquake and the events of Sept. 11, she noted. “We were all traumatized,� Reed said. “Springer
was traumatized, too. Selfishly, she was a joyful event for us.� Despite the joy that comes with having a whale so close to home, Islanders and researchers were naturally concerned about Springer’s fate. She was a young whale living without her pod, was too habituated to humans and approached boats far too closely. Whale researchers Odin Lonning and Ann Stateler of the Vashon Hydrophone Project observed and watched over Springer almost daily, they said recently. Stateler, also vice president of the Puget Sound Chapter of the American Cetacean Society, noted

that Springer’s challenges also included significant health problems: She was underweight, had a heavy parasite load and carried a skin condition known as whale pox. In the spring of that year, after much deliberation, including a community meeting on Vashon, officials at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in conjunction with Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Vancouver Aquarium, decided to attempt the first-ever orca relocation project. With considerable community support, in June Springer was moved to a sea pen in nearby Manchester for a month of rehabilitation and then transferred by catamaran 410 miles away to Hanson Island, off the northern tip of Vancouver Island, to reunite with her family. She arrived on July 13, 2002. Less than 24 hours later, Stateler said, members of her extended family lined up a distance away outside her pen until she was released back to the wild. It was a bit of a rocky adjustment at first for Springer, Stateler said. She did not settle in instantly with one group, but moved back and forth between a few groups of A pod whales. She still approached boats. One day, though, when
Page 15
Springer was heading for a boat, two members of the pod intervened and prevented her from doing so. “That seemed to make a huge difference,� Stateler said. Now Springer is thriving, experts say, and at 12 years old, may soon have a calf of her own. For Shride, the continued good news about Springer is welcome. For a few years after Springer’s move, she and others frequently inquired about the whale’s well being. “We were like parents,� she said. “We just didn’t let her go and never look back.� But despite the success of Springer’s story, whale experts note that concern for whales in this region remains high. “Springer is really a good poster child for all the threats that are facing our killer whales in the Pacific Northwest,� Stateler said. Southern resident orcas are listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act. Two centuries ago, experts believe there were as many as 300 orcas in these waters; now, there are 85 or fewer residents, Stateler said, noting that 100 to 120 whales are considered necessary for a healthy level of genetic diversity. Challenges to the resident
whales are many — lack of food, underwater noise, pollution and the stress that comes from too many vessels coming too close, a problem Lonning and Stateler say has been exacerbated by Internet postings of where whales are, making their location instantly available to the public. Donna Sandstrom, the director of The Whale Trail and organizer of the June 23 event in West Seattle, noted the event will also include current information on whales. “The goal is not to look back nostalgically,� she said. “Today we have not just one whale to save, but an entire population of Southern resident orcas. We hope Springer’s success story will inspire people to become engaged with issues facing orcas today.� The celebration of Springer will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Alki Bathhouse. The event will include The West Seattle Whale Trail launch, Le-La-La Dancers, Singing Feet, Keet Shu-ka and children’s activities. Ann Stateler and Odin Lonning will also be there and offer a tribute. For whale sightings on Vashon, call The Vashon Hydrophone Project at 463-9041.

Sportsmen’s Club girls shoot to win Two girls who take part in the Vashon Sportsmen’s Club youth marksmanship program are now making their mark on the competitive shooting scene. Lily Voynick and Corinne Blair, both 15, along with two other offIsland girls, were part of the Vashon team that recently won the NRA National Indoor 4 Position Smallbore Championships with a score of 1573 out of 1600 points. The girls competed in West Seattle, but their scores were compared with those of young shooters across the country. Voynick placed second in the nation and brought home a silver medal, shooting to earn 398 points out of 400 points. She finished just one point shy of the gold medal winner. In the course of the match, the Vashon team shattered the National Women’s Team record in this event, a record that has stood since 1969. Voynick and Blair, who became interested in shooting after participating in a Harbor School program put on by the Sportsmen’s Club, follow in the footsteps of former Islander Marisca Mozeleski. Mozeleski had a successful shooting career as a high schooler on Vashon and now shoots for Murray State in Kentucky. Earlier this year, Mozeleski won the USA Shooting National Junior Olympics state qualifier for smallbore, with a score of 566 out of 600. She then attended the National Championships, where she finished 26th in the nation. At the NRA National Indoor 3 Position Air Rifle Championships, the Vashon team, again competing in West Seattle, put together another outstanding performance. The girls won the 15- to 17-year old age group and finished fourth overall, with 2309 out of 2400 points. They were just one

Voynick also finished 11th in her age group, with a score of 581 out of 600. At the NRA National Indoor 3 Position Smallbore Championships, the team again shot in West Seattle and finished second in the 15 to 17 age group with a score of 2203 out of 2400. There the team set two more national team records. They set a record for the National Intermediate Junior Team Score, for ages 15 to 17, and the
Women’s National Team record. Earlier in the year, the team qualified for the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) National 3 Position Air Rifle Championships when they won the state qualifier. The team’s qualifier score was the fourth best in the nation this year. Next week the team will attend the CMP Championships, as well as the NRA 3 Position Air Gun Championships, in Anniston, Ala.

She helps the children of Spanish speaking families with their homework, reads books with them and engages in other playful activities. Lili has been doing this throughout her 7th grade school year and plans to do it again next year. Additionally, this past spring, Lili traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico with several other students as part of the Voyager’s Week program to bring donations to a local orphanage and spend time with the children who reside there.
Serving Vashon Island Since 1929
More than a marathon:
463-9134
— Joe Matter, Vashon Sportsmen’s Club
For a third year, the Vashon Island Ultramarathon and Trail Run, scheduled for Saturday, June 30, will draw long-distance runners from all over the Northwest and the globe to race on the Island’s forested trails. Race founders Kevin KimMurphy and Bruce Cyra say that the Ultramarathon & Trail Run, which includes a 50-kilometer race and a 10-mile companion run organized completely by volunteers, has surpassed their expectations. “When we started this we really had no idea how popular it would become,� said Kim-Murphy. “The outpouring of interest from Island runners and nonrunners has been amazing.� An ultramarathon is any race longer than a traditional marathon of 26.2 miles. The course for the Vashon event begins at Paradise Ridge Park, winds through Island Center Forest and circles Fisher Pond. A 10-mile companion run is open for those who are looking for an alternative to the full 31 miles. The 200 spots for the races are filling fast, organizers say, but there is still space available. So far seven
of the athletes signed up for the 50-kilometer and more than 40 runners signed up for the 10-mile run are from Vashon. Off-Islanders include athletes from as far away as Canada and Italy. The event’s local and national sponsors include West Seattle Runner and Raw Revolution. Proceeds from the event are donated to local nonprofits that share in the organizers’ goal of fostering physical fitness and outdoor exploration throughout the community. Registration is still open for runners, and organizers are also looking for volunteers to help with the nonprofit event. Local volunteers help support runners with everything from staffing aid stations to directing road crossings to awarding finisher medals. “Every year the participants say the thing that made the event such a success was the quality and enthusiasm of our volunteers,� Kim-Murphy said. The Vashon Island Ultramarathon & Trail Run will begin at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, June 30, at Paradise Ridge Park. To register for the race or to learn more about volunteer opportunities, see www.vashonultra.com.

detours, noise and portables. The class of 2013, she noted, would deal with the construction but never go to class in the new building. However, Hanson said, it will all be worth it when the school moves into the “dream building that supports our educational mission and helps us be better students and better educators.� Langland, in his address, asked the audience why the community, which has recently supported the district to the tune of $500,000 a year, would also dish out the money to build a brand new high school. Not only does the community know that the Island’s viability relies on a strong school system, Langland said, but those who attend the new high school will one day be major players on Vashon and in the wider world. “You’re it. You are our only hope,� Langland said. “My generation is willing to invest heavily in this generation because we have faith in you.�

High school construction will close most of campus for the summer Some classes will be in modulars until 2014 By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
Construction crews have less than three summer months to complete critical work on the new high school building. Workers will begin to move onto the site this week after school lets out, making the campus largely inaccessible until classes resume in September. “This is a major construction project, and we have a really qualified team to do it, but we need to clear the deck in order for them to work efficiently,� said Eric Gill, the district’s capital projects manager. Construction will begin in full force next Monday, Gill said. At that point a construction zone only accessible by workers and project officials will consume all of the campus, except for the

athletic fields, the pool and the tennis courts closest to the pool. Buildings A, B, C, F and the gym, as well as the northernmost tennis courts, will all be closed for construction. The entire north parking lot, accessible from Vashon Highway, and most of the south parking lot, accessible from 204th Street, will be blocked during the summer, Gill said. The north parking lot will remain closed through the duration of the construction. A portion of the south parking lot, accessible from 204th Street, will be open this summer for pool and tennis court users. Vashon Youth & Family Services, located on the northwestern corner of the campus, will remain open throughout the construction, and several parking spaces will be available outside the VYFS offices and accessible from the highway.

The football stadium, however, will be open, and it along with any other open fields will be accessible by foot from either the highway or the parking lots at Chautauqua and McMurray. Park district programs that took place on the high school campus, such as classes and drop-in games, will either be moved or cancelled for the summer, said Wendy Paridon, the park district’s facilities coordinator. Participants should look at the park district calendar
at www.vashonparkdistrict. org for more information. When school begins again in September, the construction zone will shrink considerably, Gill said. All buildings except C, which will be demolished this summer, will reopen for classes. The district will install three portable classrooms on campus to replace the classroom space lost in Building C. The south parking lot, accessible form 204th Street, will completely reopen as well. All athletic fields will be open again, but students and community members

Once students begin class in the new building in January 2014, Buildings A and B will be demolished and some site work completed. Construction is set to wrap up by spring of 2014. Chautauqua Elementary will also be closed for a portion of the summer as the school district makes upgrades in classrooms.

It was very successful,� she said.
