As more use water taxi, some are left behind County works to meet a growing demand on the boat By LESLIE BROWN
Fields project, dogged by delays, is stalled after funds dry By LESLIE BROWN
Staff Writer
Vashon’s water taxi continues to see an uptick in the number of passengers, resulting in more atcapacity sailings and presumably more riders left behind on the dock, according to the director of King County’s marine division. In the first six months of this year, the pedestrian-only boat — which takes passengers into downtown Seattle — had 96 atcapacity sailings, meaning all of its 150 seats were full, said Scott Davis, the division’s director. That’s nearly double the number from the first six months a year ago, when the route experienced 57 full boats. All told, it had 130 full boats in 2011 and 78 in 2010. Because of the route’s growing demand, King County officials are working to increase capacity on the Melissa Ann, the 77-foot catamaran that serves the Vashon-Seattle route. Capacity is limited to 150 passengers, even though it has room for more, due to U.S. Coast Guard safety regulations that require larger crews and other measures when a boat goes

On most days, the Melissa Ann is full of commuters. King County now hopes to increase its capacity by August. beyond that number. Officials had hoped to have met all the requirements to increase the capacity to 172 passengers at the beginning of this year. But the marine division’s staff is small, Davis said, and, in part because of post-9/11 security rules, the process is “fairly detailed.” Davis said he expects the marine division, a part of the county’s Department of Transportation,
will be able to increase capacity by the end of August. “It’s taken us longer than we had hoped,” he added. “There’s no single reason for that. … I would not blame the regulator (the Coast Guard) at all. We’re a fairly small staff doing a lot of different things.” Ridership on the boat, which zips to Seattle in about 22 minutes, has increased steadily since King
County took over the pedestrianonly route from Washington State Ferries in September 2009. The route carried just under 111,000 passengers in 2009, Davis said. Ridership grew to 153,600 in 2010; last year, it climbed to 167,600. So far this year, Davis said, ridership has been higher every month over the same period a year ago, with SEE WATER TAXI, 19
The Vashon Park District has suspended nearly all work at its fields’ complex north of town until it garners more money for the project from both user fees and fundraising efforts. “We’re holding off on spending anything more until we can raise the money to keep going,” said Jan Milligan, the park district’s executive director. The district has scheduled a fundraiser for Aug. 23 in an effort to reignite community interest in the $1.7 million project. Supporters also believe that once the partially completed complex is open to the public, possibly this fall, Islanders will step forward with a greater level of support. “We’re hoping that when we open up the facility in the fall and people are out there, there will be more community attention on the need to complete this thing,” said David Hackett, a park district commissioner and one of the project’s leading champions. But a partial fall opening is not guaranteed, in part because of the SEE FIELDS, 15
Stores asked to help curb teen drinking By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer

A VARSA sticker is added under a warning to minors at Vashon Market.
On the Fourth of July, a teenage boy tried to buy beer at Vashon Market using a fake ID. The checker, however, was suspicious and alerted store management. “We caught that,” said Byron Cox, a manager at the grocery store. “And I told the young man, ‘Do not use your fake ID.’” Volunteers with the Vashon Alliance to Reduce Substance Abuse (VARSA) say it’s not too common for minors to obtain alco-
hol from stores or restaurants on Vashon — more often they get it from an older person. But in order to tackle teen alcohol use from every angle, they say, the nonprofit is asking Vashon retailers to partner with them to prevent teens from getting their hands on alcohol. Vashon Market is one of the first retailers to join the effort. “I think it’s something we need to watch out for as a community,” said Cox, who has given tips to the volunteers. “Everybody needs to
work on all sides to help the kids to understand you don’t need to drink, not until you’re of age.” Armed with a survey and a list of suggestions, VARSA volunteers will spend the summer asking business owners with a liquor license to take steps such as moving beer further from soda and candy, limiting the alcohol signs on display and retraining employees responsible for checking IDs. In addition to recommending changes at stores and SEE ALCOHOL, 18

Rumble strip opponents get VMICC backing By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
The Vashon-Maury Island Community Council on Monday unanimously passed a motion to demand that the county Department of Transportation make no more rumble strips on Vashon Highway and pave over existing rumble strips in the next two years. The motion was presented by Steve Abel, a high-profile Islander and avid cyclist, and passed 35-0. Much of Vashon’s cycling community has rallied behind the effort to rid Vashon Highway of rumble strips installed by the county without warning in April. Islanders have expressed their concerns about what they say are the strips’ hazards to cyclist safety in letters and calls to the county and during public meetings on the topic. Abel said that 15 to 20 cyclists showed up at Monday’s VMICC meeting to support the motion. He had expected more would come, he said, but was ultimately pleased to find the
non-cyclists supported his motion as well. “We thought we would pack the meeting, but it turns out we didn’t have to,� he said. In the motion, the community council also demands that any rumble strips made where the narrow shoulder should have prevented them be repaved by the end of the summer. In addition, the motion asks that the county better maintain the higway shoulders through brush cutting and street sweeping and that it work with the Vashon community to gain recognition by the League of American Bicyclists as a Bicycle Friendly Community, a title Abel said towns across the country work to gain. “It’s a goal to aspire to,� he said. Abel said he believes the requests are reasonable, giving the county time to pave over the existing rumble strips as part of its regular paving schedule. Now that the motion has passed, he says he will meet with DOT officials soon to discuss the

requests. “We think our motion is pretty reasonable, pretty moderate, pretty conciliatory,� he said. Abel said he hoped that the formal community council demand would give the rumble strip opponents more legitimacy when working with the county. “Vashon doesn’t have any formal voice,� he said. “This is the closest thing we have to a formal voice in King County affairs.� Meanwhile, a woman says a recent bike accident that sent her to the hospital was caused by rumble strips. Islander Leslie Perry, 64, was riding southbound on Vashon Highway, just past Cemetery Road, when she says she rode onto a rumble strip and fell off of her bike. Perry lost consciousness in the fall and says she doesn’t remember why she rode onto the rumble strip. She was transported to Harborview, where she was treated for two broken bones in her nose and a broken bone in her hand. She also suffered cuts and bruises. “My face is pretty much swollen,� she said. Abel said he was familiar with Perry’s accident and believes it was caused by the rumble strip. “I hate to use an unfortunate situation as ammunition, but it definitely makes very poignant the fact that rumble strips are dangers to non-motorized road users,� he said.

High school project gets infusion of state money
The state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) recently announced it would subsidize the construction of the new Vashon High School to the tune of $2.76 million. Eric Gill, the school district’s capital projects manager, said the school district has been anticipating the money, as most school construction projects get state funds. However, said added, school officials were pleasantly surprised to learn they received nearly $90,000 more than expected. “We’re ecstatic,� he said. Gill said that in the construction budget,
the project is fully funded by bond revenue, meaning the state money equates to extra funds. Board members may now chose to spend the money on additions to the project, such as enhancements to make the building more energy efficient or improve aesthetics. The money could be put toward phase two of the project, the track, field and gym that failed to be approved by voters, Gill said, or it could simply be put in a contingency fund for now. “Because the project is fully funded, I think there’s some flexibility to spend it on other capital projects,� Gill said.

With a big crash last Thursday morning, school officials and construction workers said goodbye to a piece of Vashon High School, demolishing Building C to make room for the highly anticipated new school. VHS principal Susan Hanson — donned in a hardhat and safety gear — took the first few swings with an excavator. The building once housed science and math classes, some of which will be held in portables next school year. Metal and wood debris from the building were recycled. Construction began on the high school campus a couple weeks ago, but the demolition of Building C was the first big sign of what’s to come at the school, said school district capital project manager Eric Gill. It’s the only building that will come down this year. “A lot of other work is going on for site utilities,� Gill said, “but this is kind of the first dramatic indicator of construction and moving forward.�

Officials hope to make summer school a reality Teacher receives a grant with roots on Vashon By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
The Vashon School Board unanimously passed a $16.1 million spending plan at its meeting Thursday night with a verbal commitment to pursue a summer school in the upcoming fiscal year. No funds, however, were earmarked for the program. Bob Hennessey, a board member with a keen interest in seeing the school district develop a summer school, asked Superintendent Michael Soltman to develop a policy that would enable the district to begin a program next summer. Specifically, he said, he wanted Soltman to figure out a way to allow students to get a higher grade if they successfully complete several weeks of summer school covering a subject they had performed poorly in. “I think we need policy guidance that will obviate the problem next summer,� he told the superintendent, referring to an effort this summer that was derailed after teachers objected to raising grades. Hennessey and other board members also asked Soltman to consider whether the program is tuition-based or funded some other way. After the meeting, Hennessey said he was
pleased by the board’s informal approval and feels confident the district will find the funds in its $16 million budget for what will likely start out as a modest program. “I know my colleagues, and I didn’t see one iota of opposition,� he said. He had considered putting forward a motion calling for a summer school, but decided it wasn’t needed when he realized the concept had support. “Finding the money is not the issue,� he added. But Hilary Emmer, a citizen activist who has led the charge for a summer school, said she was frustrated that the board didn’t establish a line item to support a summer school or appoint a committee that included community members to flesh out the details of the program. She asked for both at Thursday’s meeting. “I’m worried about the outcome and the process,� she said. “And I’d like to be a part of the process. I feel shut out.� At the same time, she said, she’s pleased that the school board is taking seriously her call for a summer school. “I may not agree with how they’re proceeding. But I’m extremely happy they’ll be proceeding with a summer school next summer,� she said.
The Washington Schools Foundation — founded by former Islander and avid volunteer Gene Lipitz — has issued one of its first-ever grants to a Vashon teacher. Patty Gregorich, who teaches sixth grade humanities, was recently awarded a little more than $4,000 to spend time over the summer weaving reading and writing lessons into her humanities curriculum. She’ll use recently purchased reading curriculum, she said, making it more relevant to subjects studied in her classroom. Gregorich said she’s wanted to work with her curriculum for some time, but there simply isn’t time during the school year. “That’s what the foundation has given me, is time� she said. The foundation also awarded about $8,000 to three high school English teachers in Anacortes who will work together on a project. Liptiz, who now lives in Seattle and is still involved with the Island’s Rotary, said he founded the Washington
Schools Foundation while serving on the Vashon school board, but it was never active. He recently revived the nonprofit to fund something meaningful to him: professional development among teachers. Funding for the first grants, offered to Vashon and Anacortes teachers as a pilot, came from Lipitz himself as well as a large donation from the Tulalip tribe. Liptiz said the grant applications considered by the committee were full of innovative ideas from teachers who wished to apply the latest research on learning in their classrooms and share their findings with colleagues. If the foundation’s first grantees are successful, he said, he’ll aggressively fundraise to get grants to more teachers each year. “I’m looking to see if the program is something that does more than just employ three, 10, 100, 500 teachers a bit more, but actually creates an effect that raises the energy and the effectiveness of our teaching institutions statewide,� he said.

Two takes on Vashon Allied Arts’ proposed arts center
Vashon Theatre: A worthy The size is out of Process has been community investment scale with Center thorough, superb Right now, Vashon Theatre is caught up in the biggest change in show business since talkies replaced silent pictures. For more than 100 years, film projection has worked in the same way, with heavy reels of 35mm film threaded through projectors and beamed onto screens. Now, all that is changing fast as film studios demand a worldwide conversion to digital cinema. The final curtain will come down on celluloid, they predict, sometime in 2013. Most owners of urban multiplexes have already made the switch, ponying up for digital projectors that cost as much as $100,000 each — systems that will save the studios a fortune in costs and that they promise will provide a more vivid viewing experience for movie-goers. But cash-strapped rural theaters — including Vashon’s 400-seat Art Deco landmark built in 1947 — are still racing to catch up. A local nonprofit called Island GreenTech has come up with a great way to keep the lights on at Vashon Theatre. The group is raising money to purchase the new projector, which will then be housed in the theater on a lease-to-sale basis. In time, after GreenTech recoups what it spent on the system, it can use that money to help other Island businesses. Islanders have already donated more than $25,000 to the community-building cause. All told, the group hopes to raise enough money to cover the costs of the entire system. Still, some might wonder why they should donate money to support any for-profit enterprise. To that, we’d counter that GreenTech’s plan will be a gift that keeps on giving to Vashon. It means jobs and a vibrant town core. It’s neighbors helping neighbors. And Vashon Theatre — what a place to begin. After all, it’s our window to the world, a place where an extraordinary art form winds its way into our collective consciousness. For Eileen Wolcott, whose family bought the theater in 2003, running the theater has been a passion, maybe even an art form unto itself. She’s opened her doors for more than just films — Barack Obama’s inauguration, holiday carol sing-alongs, Oscar night celebrations, kids’ birthday parties and concerts to raise money for Island nonprofits. She’s also proved herself to be an able programmer, throwing art house, foreign and festival titles into the mix of Hollywood blockbusters. She’s made countless costly improvements and repairs to the facility, including installing new seats and a new sound system. She even puts real butter on the popcorn. Wolcott, with her careful stewardship of this historic place, has Donations are being proven herself a worthy custodian accepted at the Puget of our town’s temple of dreams.

For The Beachcomber
To get an idea of the scope and size of Vashon Allied Arts’ proposed arts and performing complex at historic Center, imagine a building taller than Island Lumber and almost as long as a football field pushed right up against the road with an asphalt parking lot larger than Island Lumber’s. All of this on a parcel located on one of the last remaining historic intersections in King County. Is this the best that VAA has to offer? I am a huge proponent of a new arts and performance center on Vashon. As a director, actor, playwright and musician, I have performed in most of the Island’s venues and would love to have a center that was designed for the arts. I have nothing but praise and admiration for the job that VAA has done and how much it has grown * BN OPU BWFSTF since I arrived here almost decades ago. And, UP DIBOHF #VU two contrary to some who have * BN BHBJOTU weighed in on this issue, I am not averse to change. DPOTUSVDUJOH B is crucial; if we CVJMEJOH UIBU JT Change didn’t change, we’d still be PVU PG TDBMF XJUI living in caves. But I am against conJUT FOWJSPONFOU structing a building that is out of scale with its environment — one that requires 170 parking spaces, according to King County, or, according to my research, up to one-and-a-half acres of impermeable asphalt. This, on a parcel that borders wetlands and a watershed. Islanders have spent countless hours and thousands of dollars rebuilding precious salmon habitat. Do we really want to pave our paradise to put in a parking lot? I wish I were amused by the language dance that the architects and project managers have used to justify the building of this massive complex on an inappropriate site. In their state environmental review checklist, they claim that by incorporating discrete design elements from the surrounding structures this massive complex will blend-in with the surrounding environment. They isolate a “one-story flat roof� at the entrance, “a low, one-story shed roof� at the southern portion of the building and a “gable roof form� over the theater portion of the building to justify a building that is almost twice the height of neighboring ones. They are putting lipstick on a pig to try to convince us that their design fits into its surroundings. It doesn’t. Imagine stacking the Roasterie on top of McFeeds. That is the height they are proposing. While addressing building height concerns, project
I, like every other Islander, received a copy of VAA’s Vashon Center or the Arts introductory brochure this week. During my nearly eight years as the executive director of VAA, I worked constantly on our community’s performance space issue, and as such possess a unique perspective that I wish to share with my fellow Islanders. Much of the criticism 5IF BNPVOU toward VAA has been for PG DPNNVOJUZ failing to have adequate input for a new community input in this process. To that, I say the QFSGPSNBODF amount of community input DFOUFS PO 7BTIPO for a new performance cen*TMBOE IBT CFFO ter on Vashon Island has been unprecedented. VOQSFDFEFOUFE Research and community input into this issue started in 1964, but I would say relevant study started in 1994 with the completion of a study by The Collins Group, which was commissioned by VAA and the Vashon Park District. The goal was to assess performing space needs and facility options. It is at this point that I believe VAA’s timeline on its brochure with its subtitle, “Where it is today and how we got here,� should start — as this analysis looked at our existing use and facilities. This study by The Collins Group determined that the Vashon High School theater was inadequate for many reasons and that the school’s demand for the space required an additional performing venue able to accommodate medium to large audiences for community-based performances. Its recommendation was to build a second theater connected to the VHS theater to share space (like set storage), but acknowledged it would not improve systemic structural problems. The new high school theater will provide an improved educational arts facility but will not resolve the demand for space. My first week on the job, I was inundated with requests to address the performing space issue. So in May 1998 I organized a community arts forum to discuss VAA’s role and the performance space issue. More than 100 people attended this meeting, and from it emerged the Island Arts Council (IAC), which included individual artists, community members and representatives of every performing arts organization on the Island. Its mission was to conduct community outreach on these issues. In 2001, a public arts forum was held, drawing more than 130 attendees, with “improved facilities� being one of five main priorities to arise. In 2002, we conducted a forum on cultural tourism. This forum drew more than 180 Islanders, and the main themes

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Hydroplanes
5IF TPVOE PG UIF SBDF IFSBMET UIF CFHJOOJOH PG TVNNFS
Each year on the Fourth of July, when I am awoken by the giant mosquito-like sound, it brings a smile to my face and throws me back to cherished times of childhood, when I heard the hydros every summer. It was with great sadness that I read the front page article in The Beachcomber on July 11 (“Sheriff’s office threatens to end holiday hydro race�). It has propelled me to share with those of you newer to the Island the great sense of nostalgia the hydros evoke for so many of us. The sound of the hydros is so much more than just noise. The hydros bring on their wings the true beginning of summer, the anticipation of Strawberry Festival and all of the promise that summer holds. We learn to live in harmony with each other, to tolerate lawn mowers, chainsaws and firecrackers going off at all hours of the day and night in the days leading up to the Fourth of July. What’s a few minutes of hydroplane engines once a year? Upholding tradition is an essential piece of a strong community. In the name of tradition, I invite those of you who may not understand to go check out the races at dawn on the Fourth of July or at least be
willing to wear ear plugs for a few minutes out of respect for a long-standing Island event. — Kimberly Field Rotter Davis
8IBU T FYDJUJOH BCPVU XBLJOH VQ ZPVS OFJHICPST After reading last week’s editorial and article about the hydro races, here are my two bits: It was stated that some racers believe those who complain “may be new to the Island and don’t understand the tradition behind the event� (“Sheriff’s office threatens to end holiday hydro race�). Maybe I am not a longtime Islander (I’ve only been here 40-plus years), but I am not exactly one of the new faces on Vashon. For as long as I can remember, my neighbors have quietly registered their dislike of the irritating pre-dawn, July 4th wake-up call. These people haven’t been heard from because they are kind, gentle, live-and-let-live types who, perhaps unlike the racers, would never dream of disturbing others or raining on anyone’s parade. It was on behalf of some of these sweet, elderly neighbors that I finally wrote a letter to the editor to the newspaper a couple of years ago. Some people excuse the noise because it’s only for one day. What if the “tradition� was for teenagers to race their cars around the Island at 5:45 a.m., with horns
blaring and heavy metal blasting? Would that be tolerable one day a year? For those of us who are noise sensitive, it would be about the same thing. If I could, I would like to ask a race participant: What is going on in your mind, dear friend, as you are roaring around waking up hundreds (thousands?) of people? Do you get a kick out of waking people, or do you assume that everyone is sharing your enthusiasm? To me, a much more exciting competition would be racing canoes, kayaks or rowboats. That would be a tradition anybody could take part in. — Lin Noah
Taxes

Today many conservatives propose breaking that contract by cutting back on my old age security. Some also want to maintain income tax cuts for millionaires and maintain the bloated military budget. All of this is in the name of balancing the federal budget, calling it, as a recent letter writer did, “spending discipline� (“Spending discipline needed to end debt,� July 11). The total U.S. federal budget for the 2012 fiscal year is $2,847 billion. Of that, 48

percent goes to the military, including current and past wars that Congress has failed to audit (as required by the Constitution). “Physical resourcesâ€? are budgeted 6 percent and include Departments of Agriculture Interior and the Army Corps of Engineers. “General governmentâ€? is budgeted at 8 percent and includes Departments of Justice and State and the Legislature. Finally, the budget category that seems to rankle conservatives most, Human Services, comprises 38 percent of the total. As the recent letter writer said, “It’s time for new leadership with ‌ courage to make necessary cuts in spending and the social programs.â€? Those social programs and entitlements include my contracted security (along with millions of other Americans), education, food, nutrition and housing programs. For some conservatives maintaining tax cuts for the wealthiest 1 percent is sacrosanct, only adding a paltry $829 billion of revenues over the next 10 years, according to the Center on Budget and Priorities. Conservatives, including some in the Obama Administration, argue that we should not cut the military budget because doing so would make our country vulnerable. Yet, according to The Economist, “America spends as much on defense as the next 17 countries combined, most of whom are American allies.“ A greater security issue in these economic times is the economic security of the 99 percent of us living on Main Street.

I am really keen on adding solar panels to our house but my husband says they will not add value to the house when it’s time to sell. He says it takes years to get payback on solar energy. I’m discouraged but I really love the idea of free energy from the sun. Any comments?
A:
First, let me say that solar panels do, indeed, add value to your home. Particularly in the Northwest and even more so on Vashon Island, buyers are aware of alternative energy sources and value solar power. Homes that have the panels are far more impressive and desirable to buyers, and they will pay more. According to recent studies by the National Bureau of Economic Research and another one by the University of California at Berkeley’s Lawrence National Laboratory, among others, solar panels have a “sizable� impact on the sale price of homes. People will pay more for homes equipped with solar panels. In addition, the whole idea of “payback� for solar is, in my opinion, more of a political comment than an economic one. How long do you have to keep a refrigerator before it pays for its cost? How many years do you have to drive your car before its “paid you back� for your original investment? Those questions sound ridiculous but why should we only be asking them about alternative energy? We don’t calculate payback for anything else, but somehow the idea of payback has infiltrated the alternative energy discussion. We just had an energy fair here on the island a few weeks ago. If you had attended, you would have met many experts. You also would have had a chance to talk to some local folks about how much they are saving on their month to month energy bills with solar panels. Our local credit union offers special loans for installation of solar panels and several local businesses sell and install them. They can all help convince your husband that this is a good idea. You will also be doing your part to end our dependence on oil.

manager Kirk Robinson downplayed the height of the building. As designed, the building is 45 to 47 feet above finished grade — the height of a four-story building. Mr. Robinson told The Beachcomber that “the building is set back far enough from the road to give it several additional feet in height� (“County raises questions about VAA’s proposed performance hall,� June 13). Ignoring the fact that 10 to 12 feet is not “several feet,� VAA had to receive a variance from the county to dismiss a requirement that the building be situated 30 feet from the road.
That variance was required because of the challenge VAA faces with shoehorning a complex covering more than two acres on a two-acre building site. To my knowledge, at its proposed height, the building will be the tallest on the Island with the exception of a few church steeples. And the 260-foot frontage on Vashon Highway is hard to comprehend. It will extend from the center of the current Blue Heron parking lot, along the cedar fence of the adjacent property, to the corner of McFeeds. To put it in perspective, imagine if Vashon Theatre extended from Vashon Highway, through Chase Bank to the corner of 100th Ave. SW. Make no mistake about it. This is a massive building, and it is
out of place in its proposed location. I don’t believe that if this design or this location fails it will be the final opportunity for a new arts/performance center on Vashon. There are other options available, from relocation to redesign. This whole process reminds me of the adage that a camel is a horse designed by a committee. VAA is trying to shoe-horn an out-of-scale building on property it has already purchased with little regard for how it will affect the community as a whole. I say, “Bravo!� to a new arts center. Just not this particular design on this particular property. — Chris Ott, a longtime Islander, most recently played Sherlock in Drama Dock’s “Sherlock’s Veiled Secret.�

that evolved were to export (not import) art and develop existing facilities. In 2003, VAA and IAC hired a firm to again review existing space based on current and future growth. It was determined again that our community simply needed another venue. Evolving from this community outreach, the IAC encouraged VAA to create a new performance space and adopted a set of core values to help guide VAA: recycle/preserve existing buildings; focus on the needs of Island artists and patrons; don’t depend on tourism for financing; maintain affordable ticket prices; plan for shared use of building to reduce operational costs; seek compatible business/education partnerships and conduct realistic business feasibility studies. In 2004, VAA hired
Carlson Architects and a business planner to determine a series of scenarios based on these core values and prepare a conservative business plan for each scenario. In four of the five scenarios, expansion of the Blue Heron Art Center was a key component, and the fifth called for its reconfiguration. The business planning proved that Vashon could sustain a new facility. In 2005, a fundraising consultant determined that Vashon could and would support VAA’s work to construct and manage a new performing arts facility, and VAA created The Vashon Endowment for the Arts as a crucial part of the capital campaign. In September 2005, I resigned as executive director to start a new career, and Molly Reed was hired as my replacement. While I was not on the hiring team, I believe Molly was selected in large part because of her experience running capital campaigns. I also believe

the significant community process conducted during my administration gave the VAA board and new director a mandate. It is no secret that we Islanders like process. In fact, some say there is so much process that we never get anything done. I am very proud of the process and community input gathered during my administration and believe it was comprehensive and definitive. I am also proud of Molly and the VAA staff and board for making such fantastic progress toward the goals so clearly determined from that process. The community has clearly spoken. VAA has done its homework and is prepared to make a significant improvement to its facility for all of our benefit. It is time for all of us to come together as a community and support a facility that is commensurate with the prolific talent that makes us Vashon.

Sundance invite is music to a composer’s ears By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Arts Editor
L
ater this month, Islander Jason Staczek will head out to Park City, Utah, to participate in The Sundance Institute’s 2012 Feature Film Composers Lab.
Staczek, a composer, keyboardist and record producer, has been named a fellow in the prestigious program. Along with six other international composers, he’ll spend two weeks at Sundance participating in a marathon of workshops, creative exercises and collaborations with leading composers, film music pros and up-and-coming film directors. The Sundance Institute was founded in the 1980s by Robert Redford to advance the work of independent storytellers in film and theater. Most famously, it presents the Sundance Film Festival, the largest festival of independent cinema in the United States. The bar to being named a Sundance fellow is high, and winning a slot in the composer’s lab is something that has taken Staczek a long time. This was the sixth year in a row that he had applied for a slot, after first being encouraged to do so by a Sundance official.

Strawberry jams: See two nights of music in town this weekend What better way to wind down from a long day at the Strawberry Festival than to rock out at the Red Bike? On both Friday and Saturday nights, there will be big nights of music at the local watering hole and sushi spot. At 9 p.m. Friday, the local blues band One More Mile will take the stage. It’s a band fronted by guitarists Jason Lollar, Tommy Bean and harmonica player Mike Nichols. They’ll be joined by David Solonen on bass
and Sammy Veatch on drums. Lollar is known throughout the world for his handmade, electric guitar pickups — a business that has attracted such clients as Keith Richards, John Fogerty, Steve Miller, Jeff Tweedy, Stevie Wonder and Bill Frisell. Islander Phil Royal will open the show. At 9 p.m. on Saturday, the band Rewind will appear at the Bike to take Islanders back to the glory days of cassette tapes, asymmetrical haircuts, day-glo colors and parachute
pants, with covers of songs by such 80s giants as Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, The Go-Gos, Duran Duran, The Police and The Cars. The band played at the Bike last year during the Strawberry Festival, and the crowd spilled out of the bar to dance in the street. Admission to shows on both nights is $5. The shows are for all ages until 11 p.m. After that, listeners will need to be 21 or older, with identification. — Elizabeth Shepherd

Review: Drama Dock’s ‘Pirates of Penzance’ is a silly summer romp By CANDACE BROWN For The Beachcomber
Gilbert and Sullivan are long gone, but the outlandish plot, humor and tsunami of syllables that characterized their comic opera “The Pirates of Penzance� live on in Drama Dock’s summer production of this classic. On opening night at Bethel Church, a wave of fun swept over the assembled Islanders when the orchestra conductor, Gaye Detzer, cued a band of rowdy pirates to burst through the doors at the back of the room and swagger down the aisle to launch the show. From that point on, the audience responded with enthusiasm to the antics and singing that followed. If cast members had any first night jitters, the good vibes of the crowd dissolved them and set up an exchange of energy that seemed to feed their confidence. They obviously enjoyed themselves while delivering rapid-fire lyrics, with live accompaniment by nine excellent musicians. Unfortunately, it wasn’t always easy to hear the words, and not just because there were so many. On a couple of occasions, words and music even slipped out of sync. This could have been due to the fact that the troupe was performing at a venue new to them.
Vashon High School theater, their usual home for musicals, was unavailable because of construction. But thanks to Bethel, the show could at least go on, memorable songs, great costumes and all. The nonsensical plot tells of an orphaned boy named Frederic (Joe Farmer) coming to age after having been apprenticed to a band of unbelievably benevolent pirates through a mistake on the part of his nursemaid, Ruth (Lissy Nichols), the only female he has ever seen. Having just reached the age of 21, he is no longer indentured and leaves the pirate life, soon to be overwhelmed by the beauty of the numerous adopted daughters of Major-General Stanley (Rich Wiley). The plot’s convolutions are more easily experienced than described, but the theme is Frederic’s extreme sense of duty. Conflicts arise around the fact that he was born on Feb. 29 —in a leap year — and has actually had only five birthdays, not 21, and therefore is still indentured, according to the Pirate King Merridew (Gordon Millar). Frederic falls madly in love with Stanley’s daughter Mabel (Julea Gardener), and melodrama reigns as they swear loyalty to each other in the face of what seems to be an inevitable separation of decades.

engagement. Bright-eyed and flirtatious Annelise Bogue absolutely sparkled as Evangeline, the maid. And when I first heard the charming Maya Krah, who played daughter Kate, sing in a voice that resonated with a quality I can’t even describe, I knew I would review her performances again one day, far beyond Vashon’s shores. I felt a sense of community pride as folks gathered to enjoy the talents of friends and family. But I wondered if they wished, like I did, that the program had said more about the cast members themselves, instead of offering irrelevant “bios� of the characters they played. But that small matter did not detract from a delightful production. Congratulations, Drama Dock. 3JDIBSE 'BSOFS 1IPUP
Joe Farmer, as Frederick (center), is held up by Lissy Nichols (Ruth) and Gordon Millar (the Pirate King) in Drama Dock’s production of “The Pirates of Penzance.� Anthony has choreographed the ample action of the show with aplomb. Policemen clash with pirates. Pirates lust after maidens. Maidens giggle and gather around their father. Father escapes death. Frederic’s former nursemaid, homely Ruth, morphs into a sexy pirate wench, who ultimately saves the day by finding proof that the pirates are actually noblemen gone
wrong, suitable suitors for the maidens after all. Too numerous to be individually mentioned, all cast members did a fine job, with exceptional performances by several. Farmer delivered his songs with a heartfelt, pleasing vocal style and the clearest diction of all. Soprano Gardener showed great control as she beautifully negotiated the challenges of Mabel’s solos. Wiley and
Millar, both perfectly cast, were obviously having fun. Nichols pulled off her character’s accent and personality with conviction, and Keanu Rousch made the perfect pirate lieutenant, Samuel. And then there were some delightful surprises. Little Laura Erickson played her part as the youngest daughter, Maxie, with facial expressions and gestures that showed real

7"" RVJMU DFMFCSBUFT UIF 7BTIPO 'BSNFST .BSLFU This year’s community quilt — a fundraiser for Vashon Allied Arts — celebrates the vibrancy and beauty of the Vashon Farmers Market. The 16 squares, taken together, create a portrait of the farmers market. Pictured are Richard O’Dell and his dahlias, a farmer with his produce, John Moore’s carved spoons, Ralph Moore with his handcrafted cutting boards, Sheri Mask with her soaps, Carol Lutra-Johns with her cosmetics, musician John Browne and more. The market theme was a natural for the community quilt, the 27th one created by Vashon quilters, said Catholine Tribble, one of the organizers. The quilt has been on display at the market for weeks, where Tribble and others have sold raffle tickets
to hopeful Islanders. “We wanted to say ‘thank you’ to the folks at the market for allowing us to be a part of this vibrant market. And, of course, we couldn’t have found a more colorful, community-oriented subject,� Tribble said. This year’s squares were created by Tribble, Sharon Munger, Leann Doussett, Nancy Sipple, Nan Caskey, Angela Weiss Davis, Chris McGrath, Joanna Gulielmino, Anja Moritz, Toni Eaton, Eileen Bergman, Holly Berry, Marilyn Fox, Karen and Bob Dale and Marie Blichfeldt. The quilt will be on display at the Strawberry Festival this weekend, where people can buy as many tickets as they like. The drawing for the quilt will be held Sunday at 4 p.m.

Well it’s true, summer is here. Sun, heat, sand. The top three things we all want to do are go to the beach, go sailing and goof off. All good things. But the things you should be looking for to stave off disaster this winter are best dealt with now. In no particular order, here are my Top Three things to take care of around the house this summer. 1. Your roof. If I had a nickel for every time I get a panicky phone call in October from a client who has decided their roof will not make it through another winter I could buy a Beachcomber. Check it now. If your shingles are starting to look bald and curling at the edges, or if you know the roof is past its prime, it’s time to call the roofer. Maybe they will say your roof will make it another few years. Congratulations! But if not, better to know now. 2. Your roof drainage. Boring, I know, but take it from me, particularly if you live close to one of our famous bluffs, a sudden downpour with pour drainage can be a nightmare. The next call is to the geotech to see if you will still be living at your current address. Make sure that all the water coming off your house goes where it is supposed to and that all drainage lines are still intact. Plus, it’s nice not to flood your neighbor’s property come January. 3. Windows are next on my list. You know that constant fog between the panes of your insulated windows? That’s not good and means the seal has failed. This is more than an aesthetic issue. That’s your money in the form of heating bills heading south. If your home is relatively new your windows may still be under warranty and will cost you little to replace. If not, you will have to do it sometime, so why not now? That’s it. See you at the beach!

The Mukai property tells a story of two cultures J By BRUCE HAULMAN For The Beachcomber
ust west of Vashon Town, down a small side road, sits a house and garden that are unique in the United States. The house is a fairly typical suburban home from the late 1920s, but the garden is a fine example of a traditional Japanese hill garden. Together they represent a blending of two cultures, the Americanization of a Japanese immigrant in the house designed and built by B.D. Mukai and the retention of their Japanese heritage in the garden designed by Kuni Mukai.
The Mukai house and garden, along with the neighboring Mukai Cold Process Fruit Barreling Plant, became a King County Landmark in 1993 as the Mukai Agricultural Complex. The next year the house and garden were placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2000, the house and garden were purchased by Island Landmarks, a nonprofit, with the intention of restoring the house and garden and developing interpretive exhibits and hands-on programs about the Japanese on Vashon Island. Earlier this year, a group of Islanders came together to form a new board and to breathe new life into Island Landmarks. The issue of which board controls Island Landmarks is now pending in court. The Mukai house was built in 1926 and 1927 by Denichiro Mukai, who was born in Japan in 1870 and immigrated to the United States in 1885. From the start, he was committed to making America his home, quickly Americanizing his name to Ben, then to B.D. In 1910 he married Sato, who was born in Japan and came to the United States as a picture bride — an arranged marriage organized through a marriage broker in Japan. Sato experienced poor health, so they moved to Vashon (“the country�) to grow strawberries and get Sato into a healthier environment. Their son Masa was born in 1911. In 1915 Sato died, and B.D. married Kuni, Sato’s sister. Kuni had come to Seattle with Sato and worked as domestic in Seattle until she married B.D. and moved to Vashon to become a full-time
In the 1930s, when the above photo was taken, the Mukais’ house and extensive gardens were at their peak, with strawberry fields behind them. Right, in a photo taken in the 1940s, Kuni Mukai stands next to the traditional garden she designed. wife and mother. In 1924, after years of success as a strawberry farmer, B.D. began a barreling business to process strawberries through a newly developed cold process of freezing them for shipment. At its height the business employed 400 to 500 seasonal workers and packed 200 tons of strawberries per season. In 1926 B.D. and Kuni began building the house and garden on land purchased in the name of their 15-year-old son Masa. Because Masa had been born in the United States, he was an American citizen and, unlike his parents, who weren’t citizens, could legally own land. The house and garden became representative of two adjacent cultures, Japanese and American, existing together. The garden is a significant achievement by a Japanese woman and an issei, a first-generation Japanese immigrant. The garden and home became the first Japanese-American site in the county

to qualify as a historic landmark. The farm and packing plant continued to prosper. During the 1930s the plant brought in more than $500,000 a year and featured a bunkhouse that housed 250 workers during the season. In 1934 B.D. retired and he and Kuni divorced. B.D. traveled extensively, ultimately returning to Japan to purchase his family farm and live out his life, thus coming full circle and dying in Japan in 1973 at age 93. After B.D. retired, Masa ran the business, increasingly focusing more on the
freezing process and less on growing berries. In 1939, as anti-Japanese sentiment increased, Masa changed the name to Vashon Island Packing Company on the advice of his agents. With the beginning of World War II and the internment of Japanese citizens, Masa, his wife Chiyeko and their son Milton became voluntary evacuees, moving to Dead Ox Flats, Idaho, outside the exclusion zone, and thus were not interned as were the other Japanese families on Vashon. During the war, Morris Dunsford ran the farm and packing plant for the Mukais. After the war, Masa returned to the Island and during the 1950s opened two more plants, one in Ferndale, the other in Forest Grove, Ore. He sold the packing business in 1969 and changed the name Vashon Island Packing Company to VIPCo and operated is as a septic and contracting business until he retired in 1979. Kuni died in 1957; Chiyeko died in 1994; Masa died in 1999, and Masa and Chiyeko’s son Milton continues to live in the Seattle area. The history of the Mukai house and garden since its sale by the Mukais is as interesting as the story of the Mukais themselves. The house and garden became one lot, the barreling plant another, both of which were owned by several different parties over the years until the house and garden were purchased in 2000 by Island Landmarks, a nonprofit whose mission is to “preserve significant architecture and historic landscape� on Vashon Island. An impressive fundraising effort resulted in more than $469,200 to purchase the house and garden for $327,806. Funds for the purchase came from the National Park Service, the Washington State Legislature, the Casteel Family Foundation, the King County Office of Historic Preservation, the King County Office of Cultural Resources and individual gifts and loans. The provisions attached to these funds included restoring the garden, developing interpretive public exhibits, proactively implementing facilities maintenance, providing programs and educational opportunities, free or reduced costs of admissions and an annual review with funding agencies.

condition of the grass on the newly seeded fields. Without a budget, the park district hasn’t been able to cover the $36,000 cost of hooking up electrical power to the site. As a result, the agency is spending $1,500 a month on a generator to pump water into the tank used to irrigate the fields. But the generator can only operate 12 hours a day during the week and fewer hours on the weekend — not enough hours to completely fill the tank and thus not enough water to keep the grass growing if the next two months are hot and dry, both Milligan and Hackett said. “If it gets too hot, it won’t work, because the watering needs of the grass go way up,� Hackett said. Inadequate watering won’t kill the grass, but it will delay the project’s opening, Milligan said. “If the grass isn’t developed and healthy enough, we can’t use the field in the fall,� she said. The effort to transform what was an uneven set of grass fields next to The Harbor School into a fullfledged outdoor sports complex began in 2009, after the park district secured grants from both King County and the state. Initially, it was considered an $832,600 project scheduled to be completed by September 2011, according to the agreement the park district signed with the state’s Recreation and Conservation Office, which awarded a $368,000 grant to the project. The goal then, as now, was to build not only two welldrained, well-engineered grass fields but also to install field lighting, a restroom, a
concession area, backstops, fencing, dugouts and spectator benches. The nearly five acres of fields would provide both practice and playing space for soccer, baseball, lacrosse and football. But the project — now supported by a $500,000 state grant and with an estimated budget of $1.7 million — has encountered one problem after another, Hackett and others said. The septic system the park district had hoped to use was failing, forcing the district to undertake a time-consuming effort to hook up to the Vashon Sewer District. Permitting costs from the county’s Department of Development and Environmental Services were much higher than anyone had anticipated. Perhaps most troubling was a boundary dispute with a neighboring landowner, which cost the district thousands of dollars in legal fees and cast a pall over the project for several months. Fundraising from the community has fallen far short of the $300,000 the park district had projected, in part, Hackett believes, because of the boundary dispute. Meanwhile, property values on Vashon fell, putting a dent in the park district’s budget. And the park district’s longtime executive director Wendy Braicks left in the midst of the project, leading the district to bring on Milligan, new to the park district, to helm the small agency. Hackett, a deputy prosecutor for King County and a longtime park commissioner, said the project was also hurt by initial cost estimates that were far too low and the district’s inexperience in undertaking a project of this magnitude.

“It has been a bit of a perfect storm, combined with our inexperience ‌ and naivetĂŠ,â€? he said. Adding to the situation is a new problem: The largest contractor for the project, Doug Hoffmann, says the district is wrongly withholding $13,000 in fees and has hired Vashon lawyer David Cooper to try to collect what he says he’s owed. Milligan signed a form and sent it to a state agency saying his contractual work was completed; as a result, Hoffmann said, he’s owed what’s called his retainage fee. The district disputes Hoffmann’s claims, contending he has not performed about $36,000 in work outlined in several contracts worth a total of $471,000. Milligan signed the state form, a “notice of completion of public works contract,â€? she said, because she thought he was about to complete everything and she didn’t want him to be delayed in getting his payments. Hoffmann is frustrated. “She signed off on it, and now (the commissioners) are saying she shouldn’t have,â€? he said, adding that the board is trying to “throw Jan under the bus.â€? “The commissioners,â€? he added, “are getting involved in things they don’t know anything about. ‌ My contract is with the park district, and the executive director is the one who signs off on it.â€? But Hackett, who wrote a letter to Hoffmann’s lawyer outlining the work the district says he has yet to complete, said the issue is black and white — earthmoving work listed on the contract has simply not yet been completed, he said. Despite the saber-rattling, he expects both parties will
walk away from the dispute. “We’re not going to go out and sue Hoffmann,â€? Hackett said. Last week, Joe Wald, the park commissioner who secured the first funds for the project, a $75,000 youth sports facility grant from the county in 2008, and Hackett walked the fields, taking a look at a project that on some levels still has a long way to go. Both said they’re frustrated by the situation. “There’s just no progress,â€? Wald said. “We should be getting a few things done. ‌ Things haven’t really been happening.â€? Part of the problem, Wald said, is that Milligan hasn’t found a way to bring in additional funding, something she has said several times she intended to do. “I think it’s part of her job to find the funds to keep this going,â€? he said. Hackett took a different tack, noting that Milligan stepped into a tough situation. “I think the park district is going through some significant growing pains. I’m not sure that even the best

Jan could have stayed on top of that. I’d be hesitant to put too much at her door,� he said. But those who are paying close attention to the project say that it will eventually be completed, and once it is, the bumpy road it took to get there will eventually be forgotten. Scott Rice, a proponent of the fields project and a board member of both the soccer and lacrosse clubs on Vashon, said he believes no one person or situation is to blame for the headaches that have made the project costlier and more timeconsuming than they had
anticipated. He, too, is frustrated that the fields might not be ready this fall for soccer. If that’s the case, he said, “It’ll be a tragedy.� Another yearlong delay, he said, means “a lot of kids will be displaced and lose playing and practice time because of a lack of field space.� At the same time, he added, good intentions and civic-mindedness have fueled the project, and once it’s completed, it’ll be a wonderful community asset. “In the end, it’ll be a great project. It’ll be beautiful,� Rice said. “It’s just a matter of finishing it up.�

Olympic swimmer has connection to Vashon The granddaughter of a longtime Islander has qualified to swim at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Ariana Kukors, the 23-year-old granddaughter of Islander Emma Kukors, placed second 200-meter individual medley at the Olympic trials last month, earning a spot in the summer games. “She is so excited, so excited,� said Emma, reached at home. Ariana, a graduate of Auburn Mountainview High School, is a competitive swimmer who has won eight international medals. She tried for a spot on the Olympic team four years ago, but came in third, missing the Olympics by eight-hundredths of a second. At the Olympic trials last month, $PVSUFTZ 1IPUP
Mikie Hoffmann shoots at the Delta International Open in Arkansas earlier this year. Hoffmann recently took the top awards a the Washington State Sporting Clays Championship.
Islander shoots his way to the top
Islander Mikie Hoffmann, who has been shooting since he was 9 years old, blew away the competition at the recent Washington State Sporting Clays Championship. In sporting clays events, competitors must shoot at a variety of flying clay disks that simulate actual field shooting. Hoffmann, 20, competed as a junior in the state championship for the last time and won the main event. Shooting hundreds of rounds with smallcaliber shotguns, he also placed first in the preliminary event and the five stand, 20 gauge, 28 gauge and 410 gauge events.
Hoffmann also competed in the masters event, a class based on skill rather than age. Competing against more than 30 other master shooters, he earned an M3 ranking, or third place. Hoffman said he expected to place well in the junior events, but was pleasantly surprised to place at the masters level. “When they said I got M3 out of everybody, it shocked me that I was doing that well,� he said. “I was pretty happy with myself.� Next month Hoffmann will compete at Western US Open in Mount Vernon. In October
he’ll go on to the national championships in San Antonio, Texas, where more than 1,500 competitive shooters of all ages will compete. He went to Nationals last year as well. “Its a week of nonstop shooting, and pretty much the best of everybody goes down there,� Hoffmann said. Hoffman said he plans to keep shooting competitively, and will do so in open category next year. “I’ve got to step up my game,� he said. — Natalie Johnson
Ariana was nervous but came through, Emma said. “She told me she was pretty nervous ‌ about her swim, could she make it to or not, but she did,â€? Emma said. “I’m very, very happy and proud of her.â€? Emma, 90, works at Sawbones. She and her family moved to Vashon in 1951, seven years after fleeing their hometown in Latvia after it was invaded by the Soviet Union. Emma said she attended a celebration for her granddaughter last week in Auburn. Ariana will train with the Olympic team in France before heading to London. “They said when she comes back it will be bigger party,â€? Emma said. — Natalie Johnson
HOTS Triathlon called off after few sign up The Heart of the Sound Triathlon (HOTS), which has taken place on Vashon for 11 years, has been cancelled this year due to lack of interest. The triathlon was scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 5, in Burton. Bruce Cyra, who heads the annual event, said race organizers recently decided to call off the race after only a dozen athletes had preregistered for it so far. Usually about 120 adults and 40 children complete the triathlon, Cyra said, and by this time of the summer there are usually close to 100 athletes registered. Cyra said that in the past about half of the triathlon competitors have been from Vashon, and he’s not sure why there was such a low turnout this year. Registration for the race was $70 for individuals and $100 for teams. “It could be the sign of a poor economy, that people aren’t interested in doing something like this.
Or it could be that people in Vashon Island aren’t interested in having a triathlon,� he said. Cyra said that race organizers were also struggling to find volunteers to help with the triathlon. Since HOTS is a nonprofit event and triathlons require a large number of safety measures, Cyra said, many volunteers are required to put the race on. “We don’t want to put people in danger,� he said. “We’d rather have no event than an unsafe event.� Cyra said the HOTS board will now consider whether to hold the race next year. They will discuss whether changes may make it more appealing to athletes and whether they can find enough volunteers to continue the event. “We need to gauge whether there’s enough community support to put this on,� he said.

restaurants, volunteers will also ask business owners to sign a pledge committing to responsible alcohol sales and to display a window sticker that shows their support. Lee Ockinga, a VARSA board member helping with outreach, said so far everyone has been receptive to the organization’s effort and is willing to have their business assessed.
“The businesses have been so open and so receptive and saying ‘What can we do?’� she said. Ed Swan, a VARSA consultant helping with the project, says he believes Vashon businesses will also benefit from considering the conditions at their stores — such as the line of sight from checkers to the beer and wine section — and giving their employees additional training around alcohol sales. VARSA is handing out training packets for employees to review, Swan said, and as soon as enough stores sign up, the Liquor Control Board (LCB) will hold

a special class on Vashon. Almost ever Vashon store and restaurant, Swan noted, has failed a past LCB compliance check, an undercover operation where minors see if they can successfully purchase alcohol. He emphasized that VARSA is not targeting any particular businesses, and that many of the them are already following most of VARSA’s recommendations. Swan also said not all of the recommendations will be possible at every business. For instance, he said, smaller convenience stores may not be able to move their beer away from their soda. “We’re just saying, ‘What can we do to help you guys succeed?’� he said. Luke McQuillin, VARSA’s coordinator, said the nonprofit is especially excited to offer businesses use of new electronic ID scanners VARSA has purchased. The scanners read licenses and ID cards from all 50 states, reading whether the cardholder is of age and detecting fake IDs. The scanners will soon begin to circulate among Island retailers, and McQuillin believes minors will think twice about trying to purchase alcohol when the scanners may be in use. “It takes the heat off some of the clerks as well,� he said. “They don’t have to calculate dates.� McQuillin said VARSA hasn’t found that minors purchasing alcohol is a big problem on the Island. In a 2010 survey, 52 percent of Vashon 12th graders said
they had obtained alcohol in the past 30 days, and less than 5 percent said they purchased that alcohol at a store. Meanwhile, 27 percent said they got the alcohol from a friend, and 16 percent said they got it at a party. Nearly 16 percent said they gave someone money to buy them alcohol, an act that McQuillin said could have happened outside a store. Despite the low numbers, McQuillin said VARSA, currently in its third year of funding by a 10-year grant, is working to curb teen drug and alcohol use in any way it can. Perhaps more, he said, they simply want to raise awareness of the issues. In a recent VARSA poll, 84 percent of adult respondents said they believe it’s “very wrongâ€? or “wrongâ€? for youth to drink. However, just 48 percent said they believe the community considers teen alcohol use “very wrongâ€? or “wrong.â€? Ockinga, who was involved in the survey, said the numbers seem to contradict one another. “Most people felt it was an issue ‌ and the perception is that other people don’t care,â€? she said. McQuillin said he believes the effort by stores will help send the message that the community is not tolerant of underage drinking. “It’s all about just creating a larger presence, so everyone in our community, especially the kids, knows we are watching,â€? he said.

the exception of January, when a snowstorm kept many commuters home. “I’d like to think it’s because of good service, reliable service, on-time service,� he said. “We haven’t really changed the schedule.� The at-capacity sailings, however, usually leave commuters on the dock. Davis said crew members try to determine how many people are left behind when the boat fills to its 150-person capacity, but it’s not always easy for them to count — since some people turn around quickly when they realize the boat is full. What’s more, he said, not every at-capacity sailing means people are left behind. Earlier this week, at least two sailings left the dock with exactly 150 people and no one left behind, he said.
Page 19
However, he added, he knows people get left behind each month; in June, crew members counted 164 people. Ferry officials don’t like seeing passengers left behind, he said, but, at the same time, the route’s growing popularity “has been very encouraging.� “To use an asset and use it to its capacity is a good thing,� he said. Meanwhile, the ferry district — once slated to grow significantly — continues to lack a sustainable budget, Davis said. Shortly after the county took over the ferry district, it lost much of its financial base due to a financial crisis that hit Metro Transit; the taxes slated to support the ferry district were instead diverted to Metro. The ferry district, which also operates a water taxi between West Seattle and downtown Seattle, is now funded by fares and a much smaller tax base. But that only covers about 40 percent of its operating costs, Davis said, with the remaining 60 percent coming from
a reserve account that will likely last until the end of the next biennium, or late 2014. But even that is uncertain, Davis said, noting several issues are up in the air. “There are too many unknowns,� he said. The ferry district, however, continues to move forward on plans to build two new water taxis, funded in large part by federal grants that are already in hand. The boats would replace the two catamarans it currently uses, both of which are leased. Staff is currently putting together a request for qualifications, which Davis hopes to release soon. The county could have contracts in place to build the first of the new boats in six to nine months, he said. If the district owns its own small fleet, that could make the system more secure, he added. “Having assets of your own speaks to your longevity,� he said.

Daughtern-law, Debbie, and Dwight’s two sons Cory and Ryan Newman. Two step grandchildren William Kinson and Kimberly Jones and their spouses. One great grandson Lance Lebron Jones. Peggy has many relatives in Texas though the Seattle area has been her home over 40 years. She will be remembered for her beautiful smile, a lady who was kind, gracious as well as extremely generous and loving to all. She graduated from Sonoma State University the same year Dwight did. She taught school at Holy Names Academy in Seattle for 20 years prior to moving to Vashon Island. She volunteered many years at “Granny’s Attic� on Vashon and loved her days working and visiting with all her “Granny Friends�. Peggy and Roy were very active in the “Northwest Mustang Club� an “Renegade Mustang Club�. They drove cross country to Charlotte, North Carolina for the 35th anniversary of the Mustang; and five years later followed it up for the 40th to Memphis, Tennessee.

MARGOT STOKKE
WANTED
Margot Stokke was born in 1915 in England, Town Green, Aughton Orm., Lancashire, to Gordon and Nora Whickham. Margot grew up with an older sister, Sheila, and younger brother, George. She spent her childhood in this small village in Lancashire in a house called “Capilano� after the the Capilano suspension bridge in Canada. Nora, Margot’s mother, was an original Farrell from Vancouver, whose grandfather was the founder of the telephone company and had originally come from England. Margot spent time with her Canadian relatives from time to time. She married John Stokke, having met him in an establishment called “The Whipping Stokkes� in Cheshire, U.K. She was a barmaid at the time. United States Army personnel were billeted on the premises. John Stokke was a G I in the Army working with the education of troops. Margot spent her first years of marriage in the Canal Zone and lived in other parts of the United States as well. She came to live near Tacoma where John was assigned to a military base. They had planned to purchase property in Tacoma but traveled to Vashon and bought property on Ridge Road where they lived for more than 40 years. There were no children for the couple and her only relative of the Island is Nora Wingate who cared for her until she entered the Vashon Community Care Center where she passed away July 5th, peacefully and in her sleep, at 1:00 A. M. Her niece, Nora, was not present at the time but was always by her side in prayer, thought, and meditation. God bless her. Margot was a great bridge player and loved gardening. She was also a great supporter of the senior Center and attended the Burton Baptist Church which she enjoyed every Sunday. She loved Britain and was a true Royalist but was very happy and honoured to live and be married in the USA. Margot lived a very happy life and her ability to smile and laugh was an inspiration. A true Brit! She is survived by her sisterin-law in Manchester, U.K. and many cousins, nieces and nephews. A life very well lived, God bless you, Margot, and may your next journey be as joy filled as the last. Love you, Nora.

Born about 2010, Woodstock is a big guy with an outgoing personality. His dream is to be the only cat in his new home. He is friendly and playful and just a little goofy for laughs. Woodstock would make a great family pet for an active household. Born about 2007, Dandy was found hanging around the Country Store back in 2008. She was a young, thin and searching for her next meal. VIPP took her in. Dandy was very shy when she first came to the shelter. She would run from the volunteers. She has become a different cat now wanting to be petted by the volunteers and gaining their trust. She has turned from a cat that acted totally feral into a friendly, social cat thanks to the dedication of our TLC volunteers. Dandy has beautiful golden locks which she keeps perfectly groomed. She gets along well with other cats. She is looking for an indoor home where she can feel safe and loved.

This adorable 6 month old chow mix has plenty to talk about and he expects you to listen! We laugh and say “Tell us all about it Bosley!� and he does, with his whole body wagging along. He is a joyful little dog with bright, intelligent eyes and a quick grin that’s even cuter because he’s missing some teeth on the bottom. Your life will be more complete with a Bosley dog to keep you company. To find out more about Bosley, call Cindy at 206-910-5102. Adoption fee is $125.
