Financial complexities slow Island solar projects
A love affair with fireworks
By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
property owners who have failing systems or had not let the county know the status of their system, whittling the list to 28 after the county discovered some of the names on the list were in error. Larry Fay, manager of community environmental health in the county’s health department, said he’s actually encouraged by the numbers; in February, 133 homeowners appeared to be in violation. “There’s a lot of good news here,” he said. According to a list of the properties obtained
The Backbone Campaign and King County have reached a tentative agreement about the location of the county’s first community solar project, a crucial step in the complex process of erecting a large, investor-funded solar array. The $550,000 project, should it come to fruition, would be a ground-mounted system based at the county’s Transfer Station on Westside Highway. It would produce 65 kilowatts annually, or enough to fully power seven average-sized homes for an entire year. The Backbone Campaign has been working for months to iron out the details of locating the project at the publicly owned site in what has become a race against time. The sooner the project gets built, the more opportunity there will be to take advantage of state incentive funds — and thus the more likely it is the organization will find investors willing to pony up $1,000 or more to fund the array. But those behind Vashon Community Solar, as the project is called, acknowledge that it’s been a far tougher and more complex process than they realized when they first articulated the dream of creating a community-backed solar project on Vashon Island. “This has been hugely more complicated than I think anyone ever anticipated,” said Bill Moyer, the executive director of the Backbone Campaign. “I’m not an easily frustrated person, but this has definitely pushed me.” At first, he said, “It seemed so clear and easy. And it’s anything but clear and easy.” Moyer brought in Carol Eggen, an Islander with a background in finance and a past career as an

A Vashon man finds a way to fuel his passion By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
Islander Gabriel Felix doesn’t like loud noises or explosions, and to meet him it’s no surprise. The calm and deeply religious engineer preaches kindness, promotes safety and has even earned a reputation around town for looking like Jesus. But once a year, Felix, 30 and a self-professed geek, leaves his day job for nearly a month and delves into his true passion: fireworks. This Fourth of July, Felix marks his fourth year sharing that passion through his own fireworks stand, Vashon Fireworks Co. “It’s not so much the explosion. I love the science of it,” Felix said one day last week as he prepared to open his stand by Sound Food. “I specialize in products that have unusual special effects or unbe-

A handful of Islanders face fines for failed septic systems After a five-year push, the county says 28 property owners have yet to step up. By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
Twenty-eight waterfront property owners — most of whom live in Seattle, Tacoma and California — are being fined $25 a day for failing to get their septic systems inspected or repaired after a five-year effort by King
County officials to force them to do so. The fines, which began July 1, are the latest step in the county’s effort to address failing septic systems, considered sources of pollution that are fouling beaches and closing geoduck beds to tribal and commercial shellfish harvesters. The county began its effort in 2007, identifying 263 homeowners in six different waterfront neighborhoods who needed to either prove to the county that their systems were in order or begin the process of figuring out if their system works. Last week, the county sent out notices to 33

In years past, it reopened in the evening; it won’t this year, at the King County Sheriff’s Office’s request, because of the danger of driving through town while vendors are still staffing their booths, according to Debi Richards, director of the Vashon Chamber of Commerce. A dinner in honor of old-timers: The Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Association will hold a fundraiser dinner on Friday — the first night of the festival — called the Ms. Lucy Dinner, in honor of a woman who in 1923 was crowned queen of the festival at age 104. The buffetstyle dinner, $15 per person and free for children under age 13, will include fried chicken, potato salad and beans.

The grand marshal has a role of honor in both the Grand Parade and the Tom Stewart Memorial Classic Car Parade at the Strawberry Festival, which this year will be held July 20 to 22. This year, Richards said, the group got six nominees, all of them quite strong and some of whom were nominated multiple times. Engels stood out because of his years of volunteerism on Vashon, particularly his many years of coaching and supporting Island youth, Richards said. A tow truck painstakingly outlined in thousands of Christmas lights that sits outside his shop each winter is also a Vashon delight, she said, as is the Portage Fill, an Island institution. What’s more, she said, his business — now a third-generation company — has helped many Islanders. “I hardly know anyone who hasn’t had to call Lou,� she said.
Lou Engels, a trumpet-playing, civicminded Islander who has lived on Vashon 65 years, has been named the grand marshal for this year’s Strawberry Festival. “I’m absolutely flabbergasted,� he said Wednesday. “It’s a privilege.� Engels, 72, owns Engels Repair & Towing — a company his father started in 1951 and that he took over in 1968. He now runs the Maury-based auto repair and gas station with his son Paul. He’s also one of the founders of the Portage Fill Big Band — and the only founder still playing with the popular Island band. He’s long been active in youth sports and today is a supervisor and mentor for youth basketball, supporting a twiceweekly open gym program at Vashon High School. “Lou has a long, rich history on the Island,� said Debi Richards, director of the Vashon Chamber of Commerce, which selects the grand marshal. “He’s just an allaround great Island guy.�

Vashon Vacations aims to link visitors to the Island’s best people and places By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Two women with deep roots in the Vashon community have joined forces to help visitors experience the best the Island has to offer through their new business, Vashon Vacations. Susan McCabe and Charlotte Tiencken launched their new endeavor last month and are acting as a concierge service, providing suggestions and creating packages for day, weekend and weeklong stays, including themed weeks where visitors immerse themselves in visual arts, theater or a multitude of other Island activities. The duo first began talking about creating such a business a couple of years ago, they said, as a way to share Vashon’s artistic community with a broader audience. At the time, the two women were thinking, “What could we do to promote the Island and all the interesting, fascinating, talented people who live here?� Tiencken recalled recently. Now their vision is coming to fruition, and they hope to assist a range of people
— individuals, families and groups — with Vashon excursions and give a boost to the Island economy, especially in the off-season. “I believe it is time to package the products Vashon already has ‌ to improve the economy on Vashon,â€? McCabe said. “Our goal is to involve as many businesses as possible.â€? They note they are open to partnering with any individual or business that offers a high-quality experience. “We want to promote the best and the brightest and the cream of the crop,â€? McCabe said. In September, they will serve a group from Microsoft coming to the Island for a corporate enrichment experience. McCabe and Tiencken will arrange a full menu of activities for them, they said: kayaking, horseback riding, birding hikes and golf. They will also provide lunch, transportation and possibly a workshop. Opportunities for people to spend a week here and learn from some of Vashon’s most talented residents are also on the docket. What they’re calling “A Week of Visual Arts,â€? for example, is scheduled for

Charlotte Tiencken, left, and Susan McCabe are offering an Island concierge service. September and includes two two-day workshops, one with tile artist Clare Dohna and the other with oil painter Pam Ingalls. A theater workshop in November is modeled after the same idea and offers workshops with Island theater luminaries. More ideas for immersion weeks are in the works, they said, including outdoor adventures, a spa week and a food week, which would call upon Vashon’s many farmers and cooks. The two women are now focusing their energies on marketing. Their website, www. vashonvacations.com, is up and running, as is their Facebook page, and they plan to reach out to several organizations that focus on travel to the Northwest. While it may be that the business will
draw people from far-flung places, they note a fully planned Vashon vacation may also appeal to those who live close by but have never ventured here. “A lot of people in Seattle and Tacoma have never been here ‌ and it really does take you to a different world,â€? McCabe said. As the business grows, both women plan to keep their day jobs. McCabe is the program director for Vashon Park District, and Tiencken is the managing director of Seattle’s Book-It Repertory Theatre. Combined, they have spent more than 20 years on Vashon and say they are looking forward to sharing the best of Vashon with others in a way that also benefits the Island. “It’s an idea whose time has come,â€? McCabe said.

Summer school program falters after teachers raise concerns By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
A volunteer effort to offer a small-scale summer school program for Vashon high schoolers has all but failed after teachers raised last-minute objections, leaving school administrators and volunteers scrambling to keep the effort afloat. At a meeting last Friday to introduce students to the new summer school program for math and English, just two of the approximately 40 students invited to participate showed up, said Hilary Emmer, who is spearheading the effort. Emmer, disappointed at the turnout, believes more students would have attended if their work could have resulted in raised grades — as she had suggested — and if a dispute with teachers hadn’t delayed outreach to students. VHS humanities teachers, however, question how one month of tutoring can take the place of months of actual class work and result in changed grades. They also think it’s possible the graderaising part of the program could violate state law. “Nobody is the bad guy,� said social studies teacher Martha Woodard, a high school humanities teacher who is looking into the question of legality. “This is not a well-thought-out policy.� But both Emmer and school board members say that the effort may prove worthwhile in the end. Emmer and at least two other school board members — Bob Hennessey and Laura Wishik — hope to create a better-organized, district-sponsored summer school next summer. “I’m disappointed with the whole thing here,� Emmer said. “But I’m now going to push for the school board to put in a (budget) line item for summer school next summer. Maybe this has a silver lining.� Emmer, a tax preparer and avid volunteer, has been working to promote student achievement for more than a year. Last summer, after learning that several VHS students were struggling in math, she tutored eight high schoolers in geometry, helping them raise their low to failing grades by one letter. This spring, after getting a green light by VHS principal Susan Hanson, Emmer decided to expand the effort and lined up several volunteer tutors for a similar program, this time to cover geometry as well as algebra and freshman and sophomore English.
A math teacher and English teacher agreed to provide oversight for the program for a $500 stipend, Emmer said, and letters were prepared to inform high schoolers that they could change their D grades to Cs by completing the four-week program. However, when Woodard heard of the summer school, she contacted Hanson to halt the English portion. Woodard, who is also the grievance chair for the teachers’ union, said she believed grades should not be raised during a short program taught by volunteers and believed the concept may violate the union contract as well as state law. She reached out to the union’s attorney and the Office of the Superintendent of Public Education (OSPI) to find what the school could legally offer. Woodard, who said teachers learned late in the game about the summer school, said other humanities teachers agreed with her. Stephen Floyd, a teacher who had agreed to oversee English tutors, then declined to participate in the program. “How can a four-week tutoring session equal a 13-week trimester in rigor, coursework and assessment?� she asked. “No one has bad intentions. I just question the entire premise of being able to change a grade in four weeks of instruction.� Hanson said the union contract does not specifically address summer school. At the same time, she said, she couldn’t allow the program to move forward without a teacher overseeing it, and she knew no one else would step forward. “The entire humanities department was uncomfortable with summer school changing an existing grade,� Hanson said. Students who will be freshmen at VHS next year were also invited to get preparatory tutoring in math or English, an offer that five students so far have taken. Emmer said she wasn’t surprised when no current high schoolers showed up at the summer school meeting to seek help in English and only a couple came for math. Letters eventually sent to students arrived just days before the meeting, Emmer said, and offered grade changes only in math. “There’s no prize at the end, so they didn’t show up,� she said. Emmer said she wanted students to have an option to attend summer school
in part because she’s concerned over the number of poor grades VHS students receive. Emmer, who taught high school for a short time in the 1970s, frequently requests information about grades at VHS. She hasn’t compared the Vashon grades to those at other schools, but said she is concerned nonetheless. “I think we have kids who are struggling. ‌ I think we don’t spend enough time with these kids,â€? she said. Hennessey said he, too, was disappointed to see Emmer’s effort fail because of teachers’ objections, though he said he understood state law may come into play. “We need to be both compassionate and generous in terms of providing an opportunity for kids to do it right the second time,â€? he
said. “It’s important that we not lose sight of what we’re trying to achieve here. ... It’s the outcome we’re looking for, not so much the process of getting there.� Wishik also expressed disappointment. “There’s a concern on the part of some of the teachers that changing the grades is not appropriate,� she said. “I don’t agree with that concern, but I think we need to take the time to address it so we don’t risk hard feelings on any side.� Emmer said that unless more people contact her, there would be no program for English this summer, and a few students will work with an algebra tutor to try to raise their grades. Meanwhile, she plans to attend the upcoming school district budget hearing to request that board members
designate funds in the budget to support a summer school program next year. The school district has put on a larger-scale summer school taught by teachers in years past, Hanson said, but it was discontinued when there weren’t enough students willing to pay tuition. Both Hennessey and Wishik said they would push for the district to once again offer a full-fledged summer school with teachers doing the instructing. “If money is the issue, I personally would support finding the money to pay for the classes to occur,� Hennessey said. To register a student for summer school, contact Hilary Emmer at 463-7277 by Friday.

Teen drug and alcohol use: Take a stand
Here’s a way to celebrate today: Head to the Sound
Recent survey shows community’s concern
Today, as in years past, hundreds of Islanders will head to Point Robinson to enjoy one of the lowest tides of the year and to celebrate Puget Sound — a body of water that gives our Island shape, meaning and a sense of identity. More than most islands in the region, Vashon is defined by the Sound. Many of us can’t get to work without boarding a boat and crossing this body of water. It limits us and yet also contains us. Puget Sound establishes our boundaries. And with such discrete boundaries, our lives are more intertwined, our community life more intense. Unlike so much of Pugetopolis, where one suburb spills into another, we know where we begin and where we end. It seems only fitting, then, to hold this yearly celebration of the Sound and the near-shore environment, a place that’s at once fragile and teeming with life. The Low Tide Celebration is a completely home-grown affair, little advertised beyond our shores. It’s our chance to get to know this place we call home a little better. It also seems fitting that this celebration occur days after King County reached a milestone in its five-year effort to address failing septic systems along Vashon Island’s waterfront. The county has begged, cajoled, encouraged and, ultimately, demanded 263 property owners in its six marine recovery areas to either prove that their on-site septic systems work or begin the process of fixing them. Some have cried foul, contending that the county has no business making such demands of property owners. Indeed, the chair of the Vashon-Maury Island Community Council’s land-use committee has talked about suing the county, charging that its requirement that waterfront property owners spend thousands of dollars to repair systems that are failing amounts to an unconstitutional “taking� of private property. Such talk, we believe, shows how out of touch some leaders within the VMICC have become. Most Islanders care mightily about the Sound. Most aren’t terribly sympathetic to those who dump raw sewage into it. And ultimately, nearly all of those 263 property owners figured out what they needed to do by the July 1 deadline and did it. Only a small handful has yet to step up, and of those, a smaller subset yet has done so because they truly -PX 5JEF $FMFCSBUJPO not couldn’t afford it.

Last month, the Vashon Alliance to Reduce Substance Abuse (VARSA) released results from its recent community attitudes survey. More than 740 of the adults on the Island took the survey, making it statistically representative of your beliefs about alcohol and drug use among Vashon youth. Two results were encouraging to us: 84 percent of you believe youth alcohol and marijuana use is wrong, and 74 percent said alcohol use by Vashon teens is a serious problem. Conversely, more than 15 percent of you do not believe youth alcohol and marijuana use is wrong and more than 25 percent of you do not believe alcohol use is a serious problem. We can understand why Islanders might believe that. Vashon youth appear to be well-adjusted; not many drop out of school; they don’t commit crimes and they are generally high achievers. It would be easy to say, “Let kids experiment, and let them use where I know they are safe, at my home or at least on our Island.� Unfortunately, that is exactly what is happening. The most recent Healthy Youth Survey (HYS) administered in 2010 revealed that 27 percent of 10th graders reported using alcohol in the last 30 days and 24 percent used marijuana — very close to

on what services could look like in the future. At this point, no transit alternatives have been identified for Vashon Island. No decisions have been made regarding the future of regular bus service. No preconceived ideas are in play. In addition to reaching out to key community leaders, Metro communications staff sent email alerts to riders who subscribe to information about bus routes in every candidate community, inviting them to participate in a survey about various transit alternatives and approaches. Nearly 5,000 notifications were sent to riders who receive service alerts about the routes 116, 118, and 119. Notifications were also sent to subscribers of our Metro Matters newsletter.

depression, automobile accidents, contracting sexually transmitted infections and sexual assaults, as well as other problems. Of survey takers, 68 percent of you reported believing the community is tolerant of teen alcohol use. If this is true it makes it more difficult to speak up against underage drinking and easier for teens to believe it is acceptable. At VARSA we hope we can get the 15 percent of you who do not believe youth alcohol and marijuana use is wrong and the 25 percent of you who do not see it as a serious problem to understand the serious health risks. And we hope we can get the 74 percent of you who believe it is a serious problem to stand up against it. We are determined to help you do that. At VARSA we believe we are all teachers, and it is important to consider what we will teach every day. The messages we send our kids shape their beliefs and guide their decisions. As individuals and as a community we either tell our kids it is alright for them to drink and smoke marijuana, or we tell them it is not acceptable. Not acceptable because we care about them, because we love them and because we want them to be the best and healthiest they can be today and as adults. Please join VARSA to help stop teen substance use.

the state averages of 28 percent and 24 percent. For 12th graders those numbers jump to 58 percent having consumed alcohol, and 40 percent having used marijuana in the last 30 days — alarming rates by any standard, but significantly above the state averages of 40 percent and 26 percent. Why, if our kids are doing so well, do we care about their use of alcohol and marijuana? Some of you will object to teens using alcohol and marijuana on moral or religious grounds. Some of you will object on legal grounds. Others may need a different reason to object to teen substance use. At VARSA we take a stand against teen alcohol and marijuana use because it is a public and individual health issue. Youth who use alcohol before the age of 15 are four to seven times more likely to become addicted as an adult. According to the HYS, the average age of first use of alcohol by Vashon 12th graders was just under 14 years, and the average age of first use of marijuana was 14.6 years. For 10th graders and eighth graders who use, it was even younger. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, the adolescent brain does not fully develop until one enters his or her 20s. It is rapidly developing and changing and becoming the brain of adulthood. Alcohol use can interfere with this development, impairing growth and the integrity of certain brain structures. Research shows that with teen alcohol and drug use comes increased risks to teens for suicide,

Marriage equality
New group will support Ref. 74
I’m writing to let the community know about a new group on the Island: Vashon Families United for Marriage (VFUM). Come November, Washington will vote on Referendum 74 to approve or reject the marriage equality law our Legislature passed and our governor signed earlier this year. We formed VFUM to raise awareness on the Island of what some have called the most important civil rights issue of our time. A yes vote to approve
Ref. 74 is a vote in favor of love, commitment, family and marriage equality. Approving Ref. 74 is about affirming basic fairness. Approving Ref. 74 won’t change the definition of marriage any more than allowing women the vote changed the definition of voting. Approving Ref. 74 is necessary to replace the registered domestic partner status, which does not afford all the protections granted through marriage and is really a two-tiered system. (Didn’t we already decide that separate is not equal?) Check us out on Facebook. Join us for the Strawberry Festival Parade or visit us at the Farmers Market. Keep an eye on The Beachcomber calendar for other events throughout the summer and fall leading up to the election. As a lesbian, it is disheartening that my fellow citizens will vote on whether the state will recognize my marriage. I remain optimistic that there are enough fair-minded folks who value basic fairness, follow the Golden Rule, and recognize that love is love. If you would like to get involved, I encourage you to join our group on Facebook or contact me. And I encourage everyone to have a conversation with someone about mar-

VAA Arts Center
Process has been a model of inclusion As the immediate past president of Vashon Allied Arts’ board of directors, I can attest to the thoughtful and thorough study that has gone into VAA’s proposed building. I will not spend additional time reiterating the reasons why this building is needed, why it is the right design or why it is sited exactly where it will work best. Instead, I want to provide an overview of how and why the public engagement process in reaching final design has been a model for inclusion. VAA has been very conscientious about seeking community input on the project. Numerous open houses, forums at community meetings, one-on-one interviews and multiple newspaper articles have gone into engaging Vashon’s citizenry in this project. There have been opportunities to have input into the project and voice concerns, yet many of those opposed to the building have waited until this late date to make their voices heard.
Everyone knew going into this project that there would never be 100 percent agreement on every decision. But the board concluded that this is a project for the whole community — not just VAA, not just artists — but the whole of Vashon. Significant decisions and costs were enveloped into the building with only the community in mind — ensuring the design of the building was LEED-certifiable; making the decision to purchase an adjacent lot to create more greenspace and providing the capabilities for an emergency shelter. Do not allow a vocal minority to stop this building. Instead consider the long-term public benefit and community asset that the Center for the Arts will provide. The spirit of our Vashon community is one tied together by our collective appreciation for beauty, the arts, our environment and freedom of expression. The Center for the Arts will provide a place for the physical manifestation of this spirit for generations to come. — Scarlett Foster-Moss

I was glad to read Deena Eber’s comments (“We don’t need ‘regional hub’ for the arts,� June 20) on Vashon Allied Arts’ proposed theater and gallery. I believe this project is too ambitious for our small Island population and hope the Blue Heron will remain the more intimate community arts center it is now, rather than try to have regional appeal. And yes, we are close to two cities that offer fine art and entertainment. My suggestion would be use the present building as exhibition space and build a smaller theater.
Paul Beytebiere, who has coached my girls at both McMurray and Vashon High School. Paul coaches his soccer teams in the most challenging of skills — compassion and respect. When one of his players was caught bullying in school, Paul sat down his players and asked them how they could sit idle and watch one of their teammates be so mean. Why didn’t they step in and prevent the bullying? In other words, a team extends much further than the field, it extends to school, family, community, country and the world. As an act of generosity, Paul always has the parents feed dinner to the opposing team. When my girls transitioned to high school, Paul made sure there was no hazing or nasty behavior by upperclassmen on the team. I am eternally grateful to Paul for coaching my children in generosity, helpfulness, appreciating everyone’s strengths and pure kindness. My family will miss him.

Now that we’re all settled in Portland I just want to say that we were really disappointed that you never showed our home while it was on the market. We were hoping you would sell it since we’ve been such good friends for so many years. I just couldn’t ask you about it in person. Did we say something to offend you? I feel badly about this and just want to clear the air.

A:
You did not offend me at all. You’re really answering your own question but probably don’t realize it. I only represent buyers, as you know. Part of the reason for that is so that I won’t get into a conflict of interest situation. You’re close friends and therefore, I wanted you to make as much money as possible on the sale of your home. Thus, it would not serve any buyer I represented since I would be conflicted. I do want you to know that I referred a couple of clients to other brokers who showed them your house. That’s my solution to a conflict of interest issue. I’m fine with sending qualified clients to another broker to show or sell a home if I feel that I might not represent that buyer’s best interests. To their credit, several other local brokers send me clients occasionally when they don’t want to represent the seller and the buyer on the same sale, even though that’s legal in our state. My buyer clients need to know that I work hard for them and want to do all I can to get them the best price and terms possible. Obviously, if the seller is a close, personal friend, they might be concerned that I would not be representing them wholeheartedly. I might be missing out on a sale in those circumstances, but there is nothing I value more than my reputation. That’s self righteous, I suppose, but it’s how I choose to do business. Over and above all that, I’m happy that your home sold quickly and I wish you the best of luck in Portland.

twisted. Four people in one day tell me I look tired — and on Vashon, where it’s OK to be completely disheveled, that’s a message. A break is in order, to un-warp my Weird Vashon view on reality. I’ve been trying to get away lately, with varying degrees of success. I decide to try again. My two-day “retreat� lands me at Salish Lodge, right above Snoqualmie Falls. Wow: It’s very different from Vashon. The last mile is a smooth, winding road with golf-course manicured grass, past upscale minimalls packed with tintedglass SUVs and road signs clearly over-designed by an ad firm. I think, for a moment, that we should get some of those, then shake my head violently. As I pull in, a young man runs to my car and calls me “sir� six times in four sentences. (I say “sir� and “madam� on Vashon, but weirdly, only at the post office.) The room is implausibly nice. They have a towel menu. At our house, we have only defective IKEA towels — another excellent comparison to home.

...that during holidays, there’s a higher likelihood that teens will experiment with drugs and alcohol? Tips for Parents from VARSA and VYFS: Be consistent Send a consistent message that drinking before age 21 is not acceptable. Ask Know where your teen is going and with whom. Ask if alcohol or other drugs will be present. Ask if adults will be there and if they tolerate teen drinking. Plan for transportation Plan with your teen how they’ll get home. Make sure they know not to ride with anyone who has been drinking. Practice talking points Practice with your teen to help them get through the situations when they may be pressured to drink or take drugs. :H¡UH DOO WHDFKHUV :KDW ZLOO \RX WHDFK WRGD\"
ISLAND WAYS By KEVIN JOYCE There’s cable TV, too, of course. Now I know many Islanders enjoy cable, but we’re part of Vashon’s Kill Your Television cult, so this is novel. I plop onto a massive bed, entirely covered with absurdly large pillows, and hit the remote. I surf. Whoa, this is way more ADHD than my life in the woods. One show has a wildly overweight purple zootsuited preacher with impeccable facial hair, giving a sermon in a stadium about how children these days expect food served to them rather than learning to serve. Good message, if ironic from a guy that big. Vashon probably couldn’t fill a stadium church, unless it was weekly sermons on the evil of kids expecting inflammatory food. The other show is called “1000 Ways to Die,� consisting of gruesomely
realistic dramatizations of a wedding singer choking on his mic and a knifejuggling chef crushed by a massive ornamental Buddha head, #487 and #212, respectively. OMG, so amazing, and so much weirder than Vashon! Perspective, hello! In February, we try to get away, to Mexico, only we end up going with nine other families, including 22 children. Basically, we bring Vashon with us. We drink just a tiny bit of tequila and wander around en masse, group-processing our possible restaurant venues. Locals stare. Then we announce, loudly, that our children are unvaccinated, and they flee. I get sick on the last day, but a kind of sick you can’t get on Vashon, so it’s special. We get home to discover Vashon has coyotes. Who knew? I see a picture of one at Pandora’s Box, but it seems similar to that famous Bigfoot video, like it’s really a beleaguered little dog wearing a coyote suit, looking back at the camera, embarrassed. Vashon’s weird again. The strangest reality twist happens after I visit my parents in Minnesota a couple months later. A
visit to their city condo always provides perspective. At long last, they have come to accept my bizarre island home, even threatening to move here — but to Bainbridge. My return amounts to a true Vashon Twilight Zone (VTZ) moment. I stop at Thriftway, prepared to tell the eight people I am sure to run into about my trip. But I see no one I know. I don’t even recognize anyone, in the whole store! I pause, fearing madness, abduction, premature senility. Mid-convulsion, I realize it is the first beautiful Saturday of late spring, and the summer people are out. Suddenly I love them! I then see that the Island can do that too — make you anonymous. It’s another perspective tweak, Vashon’s specialty. I laugh at being back. It takes getting away to appreciate how this place works its magic. Maybe it does bring on premature senility, and I’m OK with that. Welcome to Vashon: Lose your mind, find your home.

unsafe, and he offers a special package of hard-to-find silent fireworks. Last year the stand sold about 100 of them. “Part of being a responsible citizen is if you’re causing that problem, you need to be a part of the solution,� he said. “It is a for-profit corporation, but when I wake up in the morning it’s not about how much money I can make by selling fireworks. It’s about doing something for the community.� Felix grew up in San Diego, where he says fireworks were mostly illegal, but he spent summers visiting his grandparents at their beachfront Maury Island home. A young boy who loved science, he saved up all year to stock up on firecrackers in Washington and soon began putting on private fireworks shows for Maury Island neighbors on the Fourth. “That was the thrill of my life,� he said. During those summers, Felix says he came to love Vashon, and as soon as he graduated from high school, he packed his bags and moved to the Island. His grandparents have since left Vashon, but he still lives here, keeping a herd of goats at their former waterfront home and commuting to work off-Island each day. “Ever since I was very small I knew
this was the place I wanted to be,� he said. “I feel like the Island is full of people who are very loving and love me, and it’s a special thing.� Felix earned a degree in electrical engineering at Seattle Pacific University, and after a brief stint working with supercomputers, he turned to the medical field and now designs heart monitors. “It’s something that’s really meaningful,� he said. But to Felix, so are fireworks. So every summer, he takes three weeks off to set up, operate and take down his stand. He invested his own money in the stand, he said, and with the rising cost of fireworks, transporting the explosives on the ferry and purchasing the proper permits and liability insurance, he’s yet to recoup his investment. “If people knew what it takes for me to get fireworks over here, they’d be impressed,� he said. “It’s hard, and it’s very, very expensive, but it’s what I love.� Felix, whose car with a firecracker on top is well known on Vashon roads, also employs a dozen Islanders and pays them well over minimum wage during the stand’s short season. “I can’t say enough about what a good person he is,� said Bridget Shore, who has worked at the stand for a few years. Shore says she’s seen Felix clearly incorporate his faith, Orthodox
Christianity, into his business, from asking employees not to curse to refusing to sell products sporting what he considers inappropriate images. “I’ve never met anybody like him. His ethical bar is so high,� she said. Felix, who was raised in a Christian home, came to the Orthodox faith while living Vashon. As a college student, he decided to do a report on Father Tryphon of the All Merciful Saviour Orthodox Monastery. Tryphon ended up taking the young student under his wing, and for a time Felix considered becoming a monk. “I did a research paper on him and got a lot more than I bargained for,� he said with a laugh. Felix, who now attends an Orthodox church in Bothell and occasionally participates in services with Father Tryphon on Vashon, says that while his faith undoubtedly plays a role in his business, his No. 1 rule at the stand is simple: Be good. He grinned as he recalled recently opening a package of fireworks labeled Sword From Hell. He said he simply asked an employee to cover “From Hell� with a piece of tape. “Do you really want to give your 6-year-old a Sword From Hell?� he said. “It’s a happy holiday. Come on!� George Brown, assistant chief at VIFR, said he was pleasantly surprised last summer when Felix asked the department to help him put on a fireworks safety class. The classes drew

a small group of children, and Felix says he hopes to reach even more this year. “I’ve enjoyed working with him,� Brown said, “and the main reason is he has public safety in mind over his own dollar.� Felix, who pays close attention to statistics on fireworks injuries, said last year in Washington seven people lost body parts due to fireworks injuries. All instances, he noted, were caused by illegal fireworks. So far no one on Vashon has complained to him about his stand, which doesn’t offer some popular fireworks that can be hazardous when used wrongly. Last year one man did become furious when he realized the sparklers he purchased at the stand couldn’t be used to make a sparkler bomb, considered one of the most dangerous illegal fireworks. Felix says he warns everyone about his ultra-safe sparklers, but the man came back to the stand, yelling and waving his illegal sparkler bomb that wouldn’t explode. “I know where to get cheap fireworks that are really loud, and they’re dangerous,� Felix said. “They’re really profitable. But in the end I could hurt someone I love or a neighbor or anyone. I have to live here in the end in this community.�

Ultra runners pound the trails By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
Last Saturday more than 140 runners took to Vashon’s forested trails in the third annual Vashon Ultramarathon and Trail Run. Unlike last year, the rain mostly held off for the event, which included a 50k race completed by five Islanders alongside athletes from all over the state, and a 10-mile run completed by 86 people, including more than 40 Vashon runners. Jan Sambataro, a 25-yearold man from Gig Harbor, won the Ultramarathon, completing it in 4:31. Sambataro’s parents used to live on Vashon, and the race was his first ultramarathon. Andrew Peet, 53, was the first Islander to finish the Ultra. With a time of 4:50, Peet finished eighth overall. Kevin Ross, a VHS track and field coach, placed 17th, and Kate Van Houdt, 44, was the only Vashon woman to complete the Ultra. Islander Scott Healey, 38, won the Ultra’s 10-mile companion run with a time of 1:08:42. Healey finished second place in both 2010 and 2011. This year he sealed the win just seconds ahead Islander Graham Peet, 15, who finished second with a time of 1:08:58. Kathleen Fellbaum was the first Vashon woman to finish the run; she placed 27th overall. Claudine Kim-Murphy, one of the race organizers, said this year’s event, aided by about 30 volunteers, went more smoothly than ever.

Young soccer player climbs to the top Jane Oswald, a Vashon middle schooler, recently traveled to Phoenix to compete in the US Youth Soccer Far West Regional Tournament. Oswald plays with Washington Premier FC, a Puyallup soccer team that won the state championships in May and then went on to face other state champions in Phoenix. The team represented Washington well by trouncing Northern California, 4-0, matching New Mexico 0-0 and beating Utah, 3-2. In the quarterfinals, they beat
Arizona, 2-0. Ultimately, the girls finally lost to West Coast FC from Southern California in the semi-final game. West Coast FC went on to win Region IV the next day. “It was lots of fun, but very hot,� Oswald said after the tournament. The girls were playing in temperatures over 100 degrees. Jane’s team will meet up with West Coast FC again in August when the girls travel to San Diego to compete in the Surf Cup. — Natalie Johnson

of compliance include nine property owners who live on Vashon; the rest are Seattle, Tacoma, California, Gig Harbor, Burien or Eastern Washington residents. At least one of the homes is assessed at $1 million and is owned by a Seattle physician. Some are vacation homes owned by extended families. Others are modest cabins on small lots backed by steep banks. Some of those homeowners, reached last week, said they didn’t know they were about to begin accruing fines or thought a property manager or relative
had submitted documents to the county. A few said they had gotten their system inspected and didn’t belong on the list — a fact the county confirmed after a call about the property from The Beachcomber. Others say the cost of compliance is staggering — between $20,000 and $30,000 in some instances — a financial outlay that has kept them from stepping up. John Coy, who has lived in his 1,600-square-foot home at Indian Point for 40 years, said he knows he’s out of compliance but feels he can’t do anything about it. He and his partner Frann Todd recently had to borrow heavily against their home to cover medical expenses

The situation grew more surable steps to address the problem within five years. heated in the last few months, when a handful of Island activists began to take issue with the county’s failure to secure funding to help landowners who can’t afford to repair failing systems or install new ones. Carl Sells, vice president of the Vashon-Maury Island Community Council, has led the charge, saying other Vashon Island counties bordering Puget Unitarian Fellowship Community, Diversity, Freedom of Belief, Sound have found ways to Enrichment of Spirit provide low-interest loans Sunday Services at 9:45 am (Sept–June) Religious Exploration for toddlers–8th Grade or financial assistance to Lewis Hall residents.

Todd’s mother was facing. Now, he said, he’s under water — meaning the house is worth less than his mortgage — and struggling to make ends meet. Coy believes his system is not fouling Puget Sound, even though he acknowledges that his leach field is the beach in front of his house. But he also knows his system won’t pass muster with the county and says he doesn’t have the resources to install the kind of system the county requires. “I told the county that if they came up with some funding, I’d be happy to do whatever they require,� he said. “It’s not a matter of not wanting to do it; it’s just a matter of funding.� “I love living here,� he

inspections, a fact it made clear in mailings to property owners and ads in The Beachcomber. Few took advantage of the program, he said. “We had to turn the balance of it back to the state.� Fay said the county submitted four other grant requests to state and federal agencies seeking financial support for homeowners who need to install new septic systems, all of which have been turned down. He’s also met with Sells and other Islanders to explain the situation, adding that he’s grown frustrated by Sells’ role in the process. “His misrepresentation of the facts and history make it more challenging for us,� Fay said. Fay said he remains hopeful the county will get a $350,000 grant from the state, funds he said could help a landowner like Coy. He and Coy have talked several times, he said, and he knows his situation is difficult. “If we could get a loan program in place, he’d be a great candidate,� Fay said. Meanwhile, Fay added, the process is not over on Vashon. The county expects to designate other waterfront neighborhoods as marine recovery areas, including some along Vashon’s west side that could be polluting Colvos Passage. “This isn’t the end game,� Fay said. “As I’ve mentioned at community meetings, we expect we’ll have additional designations.�

airline executive, to help with the process. She, too, has been struck by its complexities. “It’s not been a cakewalk,� she said. At the same time, both Moyer and Eggen are pleased that they’ve cleared a significant hurdle in getting a tentative agreement from the county to build the array at the county-owned Transfer Station. Officials in the county’s Department of Natural Resources and Parks (DNRP) have agreed to lease a portion of the site to the organization, pending approval by the King County Council. County staff will forward the proposed lease agreement to the council for approval once the Backbone Campaign’s project has gotten the green light from the state Department of Financial Institutions, approval that could come any day, Eggen and Moyer said. “This is a milestone,� Eggen said of the tentative agreement with the county. She and Moyer hope the lease with the county could be a model, opening the door to other organizations interested in developing a community-backed solar project. Bob Burns, DNRP’s deputy director, said he also hopes others in the county will try to replicate the county-supported project. “There aren’t many

A similar incentive ect installed by this spring.
Now, she said, the group is looking at a potential installation date of September or October. Moyer said he’s frustrated by the complexities of the project. “Each month that we delay, we diminish the returns,� he said. The latest hurdle has been with the state’s Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), which regulates investments offered by state-chartered organizations, similar to what the federal Securities and Exchange Commission does on a national level. DFI has to review the materials the Backbone Campaign plans to use to recruit investors, look at the project’s revenue and cost projections and examine other documents, Eggen said. Gib Dammann, an Islander who is spearheading a much smaller, investmentbacked solar array project, to be installed at The Harbor School, has also been delayed by DFI’s review. Dammann had hoped to have the entire project — to be built in two phases — installed by this spring. Now, he said, his group — called Vashon Solar LLC — will likely have the first phase, a 9-kilowatt array, constructed by mid-summer, with the second phase coming online by Oct. 1. “It’s been a long and arduous process,� Dammann

said. There has been a silver lining to DFI’s scrutiny, he said; the state found some inconsistencies that Dammann was glad to address. But the delays have been frustrating, he said. “We’ve benefitted from their scrutiny. Obviously, our timeline has not benefitted from it,� he said. Those involved in the solar industry say they’re frustrated that the state is approaching community solar projects like investments deserving a high level of scrutiny. “It seems like the community solar legislation was a great idea, but its execution has been hampered by the state’s decision to heavily scrutinize every single project,� said Evan Leonard, who works for Artisan Electric, a Vashon-based company that
installs solar arrays. The state’s securities review is to guard against Ponzi schemes and the like, he said. “It’s the wrong tool for scrutinizing community solar.� Jason Williams, who owns Artisan Electric, said he’s concerned that the delays have made future community projects unlikely. The costs don’t pencil out, he said, unless a project gets launched this year. “I think the door is closing on this model,� he said. But he’s pleased that the Backbone Campaign has moved closer to bringing its project to fruition and said he’s particularly pleased the array will be sited at a former landfill. “That symbol and that idea — being able to have renewables at a place like that — is fantastic,� he said.
Bruce Edward Fox Affectionately know as Mr. Fox, Bruce, age 79, passed away June 25. He spent the last 50 years of his life on Vashon where he worked and raised his family. Born in Yakima and raised in Tacoma, he graduated from Stadium High in 1952 and married his high school sweetheart Marilyn that same year. Bruce and Marilyn were married for 60 years during which time he always referred to her as his bride. He put himself through college splitting cedar and building fences, earning a degree in Education. He joined the Navy and spent 2 years in the Korean War. In 1960 they moved to Vashon where they raised 4 children and Bruce began his career as a 4th, then 6th grade teacher at Burton and Vashon Elementary schools. He became a beloved teacher and from 1960 – 1992 taught 3 generations of families, including a few of his own grandchildren. He loved boating and the family spent their summers cruising the Canadian Islands, living off the land. Once the kids were grown, he and Marilyn bought a travel trailer and enjoyed many years on road adventures. He is survived by his wife Marilyn, children Captain Bruce Fox, Mike (Lois) Fox, Rebecca Fox MacDonald, Darren (Diane) Fox, 9 grand children, 2 great grandchildren, sisters Sandy Whitney and Sharron Powell. He was preceded in death by his mother, father and grandson Andy MacDonald. There will be a memorial service at Bethel Church 11 AM on Saturday, July 14th, 2012. Reception to follow. We would like to extend a special thanks to Seattle Hospice and their Island care providers for their wonderful support. Remembrances may be sent to Hospice of Seattle, 425 Pontius Ave. N. #300, Seattle WA 98109, or Vashon Island Pet Protectors, PO Box 245, Vashon, WA 98070.

Born about 2006, Leo is one of those kitties who gives you head butts as soon as he meets you. He melts your heart like butter. Leo has been used to being the only cat and he has had a bit of a time settling in with all the other cats at the shelter. Despite the fact that he is a small sweet boy, he can sometime intimidate some of the other cats although he is getting much better about sharing his space. Leo is looking for a person who want to have a love bug for a kitty. Leo came to VIPP 5/5/12

dob around 2010, Corry was found and turned over to VIPP. Unbelievably, this sweet girl has not been claimed by her person. Corry is young and really sweet and great with kids of all ages. She would make a stupendous family cat as she is totally relaxed around full tilt energy of children. She has tuned into one of the volunteer’s favorites. This girl will make a wonderful pet for any lucky person who chooses her. Corry came to VIPP on 5/25/12

LOOKING FOR MY BEST FRIEND!
wheels Marine Miscellaneous
Arlo, a 5 yo American Staffordshire Terrier,
endured a horrible life in LA and has been on Vashon for 8 months. He LOVES country life, and he LOVES people. He needs and wants a best friend to play with, cuddle with at night, and let him ride shotgun in the car. Arlo is wonderful with children and cats smart, partially trained and very eager to please. He is a goofy boy in a big body. Though okay with big dogs, Arlo can be unpredictable. Due to past trauma he can be agressive towards dogs if spooked or challenged. Arlo needs to be in a one-dog home with a family or individual with lots of time and love to give this very special boy. ARLO is neutered, fully immunized and microchipped. If you would like to meet Arlo, contact Vashon Island Pet Protectors at 206-707-2218. There is a $125 adoption fee.
