$2 million grant to fuel restoration at Maury park

Center nominated as historic district

DANCING ON AWARM SUMMER NIGHT

Staff Writer

The King County Landmarks Commission is considering a proposal to declare Center — the four-corner intersection two miles south of town — a historic district, a move that would make it the first such district on Vashon. If approved, the district would recognize eight structures at or near the intersection as historically significant, a move, proponents say, that would help to ensure the buildings remain protected and intact over time. Duane Dietz, an Islander who has spent months researching the properties at Center, made the nomination. According to his 45-page report, which he submitted in February, Center “contains Vashon’s largest surviving concentration of vernacular wood-frame commercial buildings pre-dating 1947.” “For me, it’s an aesthetic issue,” he said Monday. “It’s one of the last remnants of the rural-agricultural experiences that we have left in Western Washington. If you want to get a sense of what farming was like, of what the scale of buildings was like, you can see that at Center.” A public hearing on the proposal was initially scheduled for Aug. 23 but just this week was postponed to Sept. 27 for technical reasons. It’s likely that the nine-person Landmarks Commission will make a decision about the nomination at that September meeting, according to Julie Koler, who heads the county’s historic preservation program. Her office will make a staff recommendation, either in favor of the nomination or not, she said. “We welcome letters from the community,” she added. The nomination comes at a critical time for Vashon SEE CENTER, 19

owned by Vashon businessman Tom Bangasser about a mile south of town. George Brown, VIFR’s assistant fire chief, said the partnership would serve the fire department well. The building was donated to the agency three years ago when the Firemen’s Association, a holdover from the days when Vashon had an all-volunteer department, folded. Since then, VIFR officials have used the structure for occasional drills and long-term storage, Brown said. But it largely sits empty, and VIFR has wanted to find another use for it, he said.

Thanks to an infusion of state money, the Maury Island Marine Park will soon see a major restoration effort. The large, county-owned park, a former mine site near the old Glacier property, was recently chosen as one of several sites across the region for a yearlong habitat restoration project by the Puget SoundCorps — a division of the Washington Conservation Corps that employs young people and veterans. The project, funded to the tune of $2 million, will employ 24 people full-time to continue restoration efforts that have already begun on a smaller scale at the park — removing invasive plants, improving soil, planting native foliage and building trails. Greg Rabourn, Vashon’s basin steward for King County, said he believes the undertaking represents the largest restoration project to take place on the Island. The county, which purchased the property in 1994, has long hoped to restore the native ecosystem at the site, an ecologically valuable shoreline habitat that has been marred by years of mining. “I can’t think of any (project) we’ve approached on this scale before,” Rabourn said. “It’s just a tremendous boost for an important habitat.” Rabourn and other county officials were quick to credit People for Puget Sound, an organization that has done significant restoration work at Maury Island Marine Park’s shoreline in recent years. But People for Puget Sound, they noted, has been limited by tight funding and relied heavily on volunteer workers, who are sometimes hard to recruit. The SoundCorps, which will begin work at the site

County plans to move service center to Vashon town By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer

King County plans to relocate the sheriff’s office, courthouse and other regional services to a little-used building in Vashon town owned by Vashon Island Fire & Rescue. If approved by the King County Council, the county would remodel the former Firemen’s Association building across the street from VIFR’s main station, transforming it into a multipurpose rural service center with room for emergency response exercises and community meetings. The building would also

serve as an operations center during an actual disaster. The move, county officials say, would save money, consolidate services and better serve Islanders. Under the proposal, the county would spend around $700,000 to wholly makeover the 2,600-square-foot building, turning it into a courthouse and satellite sheriff’s office that VIFR or community groups could use as well. The fire department, in turn, would not charge the county rent for the first five years; after that, the rent would be below market. Currently, the county and sheriff’s office rent space at Courthouse Square, a complex

King County has been awarded more than $800,000 to help property owners repair failing septic systems, keep livestock out of streams and address other pollution sources that could be affecting Puget Sound. Larry Fay, manager of community environmental health in the county’s health department, said that $350,000 of the grant money will go toward developing a lowinterest revolving loan fund for property owners in the marine recovery areas, six different stretches of waterfront where homeowners have been told to ensure their septic systems are in working order. Interest rates will likely range from zero percent to market-based, with the possibility that some could get loans that won’t have to be repaid until the property is sold, he said. “It’s exciting,� he said of the funds, which the county is receiving from the state Department of Health. “It’s not nearly enough. But it helps. ... We’ve wanted to get (loan money) in place for a long time. It’s all positive. But it’s just the tip of the iceberg.� Another $50,000 would go toward supporting homeowners in instituting best management practices for livestock. And a third bucket of funds — around $400,000 — would be used to begin a pilot project in the Fisher Creek drainage, where the county would look for contaminants in the water, trace them to their source and try to take corrective action, Fay said. “The idea is to take a small geographic area and get the kind of inter-agency teamwork to do this in an interdisciplinary way,� he said. “This gives us a focused area where we could have an immediate impact.� The issue of public funds to help cover the high costs of septic repair and instal-

lation has been a sensitive one on Vashon. Leaders within the Vashon-Maury Island Community Council (VMICC) over the past year have been critical of the county, saying officials have not done nearly enough to support Islanders in making costly repairs. They’ve held several meetings, including a few with county officials, where they’ve pressed their case and voiced their concerns. Tim Johnson, president of the council’s board, said he was pleased to hear the county had secured some funds and said he believes VMICC’s efforts have made a difference. “The pressure and publicity definitely had an effect,� he said. But Fay said grant applications were in the works “long before all the noise started.� The grant was one the county attempted to secure a year ago, he said. “I don’t think their intervention hurt. But it’s not as though we weren’t already talking to the state about a contract,� he said. Meanwhile, the list of property owners who have yet to respond to the county in the marine recovery areas now numbers 19, down from 28 a month ago. Those 19 property owners are facing $25-a-day fines, although Fay said he’s still working to find a solution to each homeowner’s situation. The state funds, he added, could be used to help some of the property owners who have yet to respond, those who are in the process of repairing their systems or new efforts the county plans to institute to address failing septics and Puget Sound’s health. “This is only the beginning,� he said.

Vashon’s only vegan cafÊ faces a tough go But loyal customers say they love the healthy fare By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer

A line three-people deep felt like a crowd last week at Vashon’s tiny Pure cafÊ, where owner Stephanie Morris took lunch orders and prepared the food with the help of a volunteer assistant. Murray opened Pure, a vegan, gluten-free cafÊ and juice bar, two years ago intent on offering the healthiest fare possible —

and the blackboard menu boasts some of her bestsellers: the Nature Bowl with quinoa or brown rice, vegetables, seeds and sprouts, vegetable juices and salads from local farms. Raw pizza, another favorite, recently received glowing reviews in the Seattle Weekly. Morris notes she has many loyal customers, ranging from people who are coping with serious health problems to people who simply want to eat well. But Pure has yet to be profitable, and in recent months Morris and her supporters have turned to the listserve VashonAll, Facebook and other avenues to garner support for the cafĂŠ.

“It’s sort of like putting together a puzzle,� Morris said. “I’d like to be able to make it work.� Earlier this summer, she said, Valerie Howe of Chase Bank suggested she apply for a small business grant Chase was sponsoring in partnership with the online company Livingsocial. She applied, she said, but doing so required supporters to vote for Pure online. So she took to Facebook in earnest, she said, “friending� everyone she could and inviting people to participate via VashonAll. Customers followed suit. Morris, a musician, also offered some of her guitars and other items for sale, with proceeds going

to support Pure. With only 12 grants given out nationwide, Morris believes Pure’s odds of receiving one are long, but the voting efforts helped raise awareness about the restaurant on Vashon, and this summer has been the cafÊ’s busiest season so far. In recent months, she has also strengthened her connections with some of those in Vashon’s health care community. When acupuncturist Jessica Bolding of Vashon PRAHM hosted a free film on food and nutrition recently at the Vashon Theatre, Pure supplied wheatgrass shots. Followers of Kathy Abascal’s popular anti-inflammatory diet can find what they need at Pure, Morris noted, and naturopathic physician Nicole Maxwell, who practices next door, also frequently sends customers to her. Even in the best of economic times, restaurants are known for being challenging businesses, with slim profit margins. In addition to the typical obstacles, Morris said, she’s faced a few more because

The restaurant, which uses no flour, sugar, eggs or dairy, instead relies on fresh produce, often purchased from local farms, and a variety of other ingredients, such as nuts, which come with a hefty price tag. In fact, Morris said, she has only three shelves for dried food;

the rest of her storage is refrigerated and holds perishable food. “We are a living restaurant,� she said. The type of food she serves also sometimes presents a challenge, she added. People sometimes walk in looking for burgers and fish and chips, not vegan offerings. “We’re going against the

The county approached VIFR last year, and for the last six months, the two governments have been in conversation and negotiations, Brown said. The five-member commission recently directed Brown to pursue a contract with the county; the proposal, now that it’s been drafted, will go before the commissioners for approval, Brown said. “We feel this is a winwin,� Brown said. “We like having the community’s needs right here, centrally located. We also like having the sheriff’s department close to us.� Rex Stratton, a commissioner, said he, too, supports the arrangement. “I think we are all quite pleased with the opportunity to have that building put to productive use and particularly to have the county there,� he said. The courthouse, open one day a month when a District Court judge comes to Vashon, has been located at Courthouse Square since the 3,200-square-foot building was constructed in 1973. Bangasser purchased the building in 1999. In 2005, he said in an email

to The Beachcomber, he spent more than $100,000 completely remodeling the building so that it would better serve the county. Bangasser said he offered to sell the building to the county, noting, in his email, that he made “a very, very good offer reflecting our commitment to the values of this community. ‌ It was a very good deal for the county.â€? What’s more, he added, the county is the logical tenant for Courthouse Square. “It was built specifically for the King County sheriff and the District Court,â€? he said in his email. But county officials said that it made more sense to relocate. The county currently pays $2,376 a month to use Courthouse Square; with utilities, its monthly costs are around $3,020, according to Cameron Satterfield, a spokesperson for the county. What’s more, he said, Courthouse Square needs a lot of repairs, including a new roof and remodeling to comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. “After reviewing the costs associated with purchasing the Courthouse Square building, completing the needed renovations and ongoing ownership costs, it was clear that pursuing

A quiet adventure unfolds on the sea

Seizing summer’s sweetness in a cool corner of the world

The fish don’t bite, but game wardens add to the thrill

While much of the country has faced scalding temperatures for the past month or so, we in the maritime Puget Sound region finally got our taste of summer. And what a sweet taste it’s been. There was Shakespeare in the Park on Saturday, live Cajun music at that same park Monday night. KVI Beach and Dockton, where children, teens and a few brave adults swam, were hopping. The Farmers Market was happier and livelier than ever. And for two of us here at The Beachcomber, this weekend marked a long-planned kayaking trip to Blake Island. How lucky for us that our overnight expedition occurred on the hottest couple of days to date this year. Blake has long held an allure — a beautiful dot in the Sound, sometimes hidden in the mists, other times a beacon of green. Nearly every time I’m on a ferry heading for Fauntleroy or Southworth, I look for it. I find its presence calming — a quiet island in booming Pugetopolis. But I’m an inexperienced kayaker; neither my husband nor I had crossed open waters. So a friend, veteran kayaker Robert Teagardin, led the way; reporterNatalie Johnson and her boyfriend came, too. It was thrilling to cross Puget Sound, where even on a calm day the swells seem big. My bright yellow kayak rode those waves beautifully. Indeed, it felt at times like I was on a carnival ride, the up and down a veritable roller coaster. We arrived at Blake to find it not exactly the quiet little berg it seems from afar; sailboats and motorboats, some quite large, had claimed many of the moorings, their crews a noisy lot. Still, a beautiful shoreline campsite awaited us, under a towering fir where a bald eagle sat and next to a point dotted with native shoreline flowers. We set up camp, took a short walk and by candlelight ate pasta with pesto, drank wine and swapped stories about various adventures. The next day, we explored Blake’s interior; trails criss-cross it. We made our way through forests of fir, alders and maples, finally emerging on the southern edge, where we walked through a madrone forest. It was a gorgeous site — the cinnamon-orange trunks of the madrones against the backdrop of a dark blue channel and a cobalt blue sky. Sailboats glided past. Just beyond the water, we saw our own island, Vashon, looking peaceful and alluring, a carpet of trees in the distance. By the time we climbed into our kayaks for the journey home, the temperature had climbed to 90, and we splashed water on our face and arms to stay cool. As we drew closer to the ferry lanes, we realized the Southworth ferry was about to set sail. Robert said to raft up and let the ferry captain decide how to avoid us. We did, and the ferry gave us a wide berth. Back on land, we celebrated our expedition with a meal at La Playa, where we sat on the deck, watched the ferries come and go and relished a warm summer evening — a moment both precious and fleeting. — Leslie Brown, editor

The harbor slumbers at sunup like an ageless debutante still asleep in her sequined party dress, each murmuring wave a measured breath, kelp and seaweed splayed across the gravel beach like strands of hair on a feather pillow. Herons ankle-deep in the outgoing tide scan the shallows for tiny scuttling crab. A quartet of bickering crows joust for a single crushed clam on the rip-rap bulkhead. The beach houses ringing the harbor are still curtained, dark. A tan dog sits on a painted wooden deck, seeing nothing, expecting nothing. Scattering the calm, my two young sons and I drag our blue rowboat to the water’s edge, a trio of mismatched pallbearers grunting through gritted teeth, accompanied by the grinding clatter of the aluminum hull scraping on the gravel. Our water-logged canvas shoes squeak as we load our boat with a pair of battered oars, tangled fishing rods, the tackle box I got for my 12th birthday, my youngest boy’s orange school backpack crammed with snacks and steel water bottles and a couple of packages of frozen bait. While I ferry our garage-sale Sea King outboard and five gallons of two-stroke gas across the asphalt road to the beach, the boys wait sleepily in the boat at the water’s edge, struck numb by daylight, yawning and shivering in the remains of morning mist. They warm their hands between dirty, summer-scarred shins, orange life-vests strapped clumsily across their chests amid the flotsam of oars and rods and tackle.

FAMILY LIFE By KEVIN POTTINGER My oldest boy rows us out beyond the eelgrass while I fiddle with the outboard. After a couple of pulls the Sea King coughs and roars to life. I point our bow south along the shoreline, past the peninsula, into the outer harbor and finally into the open bay. I cut the motor and we drift, suddenly silent, our boat bobbing in the wake of distant container ships and a lone party sled cutting serpentine arcs in the gray-green water, blasting Smash Mouth out of apparently waterproof speakers while a bikini-clad woman with goose-bumps fetches refreshments from a tiny cabin. I pull out some hooks and begin tying them on nylon lines. Compared to the Mayan bloodsacrifice of a live worm writhing in agony impaled on a barbed hook, cutting plugs of frozen herring feels more like making lunch. I adorn a piece of thawed herring with a dab of hi-viz-green Powerbait and tie on a giant license-plate-sized spinning spoon for good measure. After three or possibly four minutes without a single fish leaping into our boat, we bust out the snacks. The boys have granola and milk in paper bowls and we polish off the bananas, saving the peanutbutter filled pretzel bites for the trip back. The boys crunch their granola thoughtfully as the waves lap against the side of the boat. In the distance another boat cuts

)JTUPSJD WPUF XJMM BGGJSN NBSSJBHF GPS BMM Love knows no boundaries, including gender. The fact that love exists between two people of the same sex does not diminish the strength of this essential human emotion between them. However, despite the existence of a loving, committed bond between gay

and lesbian couples, because they are denied access to marriage, their relationship is not viewed as equal to a married heterosexual couple. Gay and lesbian couples risk having their relationship not fully recognized in other states because they are not married. Same-sex couples and families live in our communities knowing their love is viewed differently and separate from those families living in a marriage.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

STAFF PUBLISHER: ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR: CIRCULATION:

an exuberant wake on a course straight toward us, and as it hums into focus it’s clear that it is two fish and game wardens in a welded aluminum patrol boat. As they pull alongside they shape-shift imperceptibly — good cop, bad cop. The good warden remains at the helm, friendly and grinning in sunglasses, while the other warden grabs a three-foot long boat hook and squats in a captain’s chair for an interrogation, slapping the boat hook rhythmically into his palm, perhaps in case we decide that making trouble sounds like a good idea. Our registration is out of date, we have no boat horn, no flares. Oh, look, no fire extinguisher, either. The warden wonders aloud in a sing-song voice what we could possibly offer in our defense that might dissuade him from writing citations costing hundreds of dollars. Slap, slap, slap, the boat hook against his palm. After a few seconds of uneasy silence, the clearly more sensible warden intercedes on our behalf, cheerfully advising us to get our registration renewed today and pick up a boat horn while we’re at it. And with a wave and a vague sort of goodbye, furiously churning hundreds of gallons of green water with their twin 300-horse Yamahas, they’re gone. We don’t catch a thing. I dump the last of our bait, and as we pull away several fish jump out of the water chasing the herring. We cruise into the harbor an hour late, and I see my wife Maria on our front lawn, distractedly scanning the horizon for our boat as women have done for centuries, praying for safe return when their men have gone to sea.

Unfortunately, as history has repeatedly shown, separate is not equal in our society. I had the honor to march with Washington United for Marriage in the Strawberry Festival. I proudly carried the state flag behind two beautiful brides in wedding gowns. Doing this made me feel that it is important that our state officially recognize the commitment between a same-sex couple the same as for heterosexuals. But it also reminded me how proud I was to be a resident of this great state when our Legislature, in a bi-partisan vote, allowed same-sex marriage. There is an effort to undo this great and fair accomplishment by our -FHJTMBUVSF 1MFBTF WPUF in November to approve Referendum 74 and affirm that momentous and historical vote to rectify the injustice of denying samesex partners the opportunity to marry. — Jay Williamson

8IZ TIPQ BU UIF NBSLFU 5IF SFBTPOT BSF NVMUJUVEF I enjoyed a lovely dinner at the home of some island friends recently and during the evening encountered two remarkable conversations about the Vashon Farmers Market (each prompted by the person’s knowledge that I manage the market). The first was with a gentleman who picked me out of the crowd before dinner, wondering whether I might be the market manager, because he’d noticed me in what he described as an “in charge� moment at a recent Saturday market. He wanted to introduce himself and to tell me how knocked out he was by the current state of affairs at our market — the incredible abundance, his sense that the Island is fully embracing its agrarian heritage, his excitement to see how much the market has grown, and — without an ounce of prompting from yours truly (and the part that gave my heart a little flutter) — the knowledge that he was “getting full value for every penny� he spends there. Needless to say, that chat made my week. The other conversation, as I sat trapped at the dinner table, started U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack has proclaimed Aug. 5-11 as National Farmers Market Week.

FOOD By REBECCA WITTMAN like this: “As a point of pride, I don’t shop at the farmers market.� It was a proclamation that took my breath away, a statement that took me more than a few beats before I could recover enough to ask why. After a couple of attempts to counter her immutable “the prices are too high� claim, I finally decided I needed a night off and granted the woman the fact that everyone shops for food for differing reasons and with differing goals. Call me Judas — I know I betrayed the cause at a perfect moment to attempt a convert. What I should have done was fetch the earlier gentleman and have him trade places with me at the table, allowing him to sing his particular market gospel to her. I know there will always be those who fall into the “no thanks to the farmers market� camp. But thankfully, more and more people are grasping the real value of farmers

markets, personally and to the human and environmental community at large. What I wish I’d had the energy to say to the proud non-market-supporter is that farmers markets are more than simply a place to buy locally grown (and actually well-priced, in the final analysis) fruits and vegetables. They are hubs for information and home to thousands of innovative partnerships that teach skills and expand knowledge about food, health, community and agriculture. In more than 7,200 markets in this country alone, more than three million consumers are snapping up what they know to be the best kind of food, produced by more than 60,000 hardworking local farmers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that these markets generate at least $1.3 billion in consumer spending each year. In short, farmers markets are a phenomenon at a time when they are sorely needed. Today’s farmers markets are: t 1SPNPUJOH HPPE OVUSJUJPO BOE healthful habits. t 4QVSSJOH CVTJOFTT JODVCBUJPO job development and local spending. t (SPXJOH IFBMUIZ TPDJBM DBQJUBM and engaging thousands of volunteers. t 4VQQPSUJOH BHSJDVMUVSBM EJWFS-

Our Vashon farmers are passionate entrepreneurs, right at a time when the national consciousness about healthy eating gives them a passionate consumer. Every week, someone is trying a new vegetable 1JSBDJDBCB CSPDDPMJ BOZPOF EJTcovering how food grows or learning a new skill to enrich his or her life. I consider it a point of pride to be a part of such a positive asset in our community, a community that is the real agricultural deal. I realize this assumes that everyone reading this piece is a supporter of the market — and that might not be the case. But please consider sharing this essay with one friend who might need a nudge to shop at the Vashon Farmers Market (even if that friend is you.) One visit and I’m betting that friend will discover his or her own good reason — and point of pride — for supporting our Island’s incredible farmers.

Watching out for one another Thank You, Thank You! If I may elaborate on the story that appeared in the July 25th issue of The Beachcomber about the man dropping out of the Festival Parade, he is fine after spending the night in the hospital for observation. He was the Army representative in the color guard, which also included a Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps veteran. This is the crew that volunteered out of VFW Post 2826 and American Legion Post 159 and that I coordinated. This particular vet was carrying Old Glory, the place of honor. Realizing that he was feeling light-headed and with his major thought being not to let the flag touch the ground, he tried to make it as far as he could for there really is no stopping the parade. He did the best that he could for as long as he could. Fortunately the vets in the convertible following immediately behind were able to fill in for him in the color guard and also deliver him to the EMTs who were close by. It’s all a reminder that we need to watch out for one another while we also make sure that the our missions get accomplished, one parade at a time. Phil Volker, Commander American Legion Post 159, Vashon.

Vashon Island Fire & Rescue replaced its 1999 Medic One ambulance with a new one, identical to the ambulance it purchased three years ago, said George Brown, the agency’s assistant fire chief.

SCENE & HEARD: SCOUTS OUT AND ABOUT People who have walked through the woods next to Chautauqua Elementary School lately may have noticed new trail signs throughout and maps of the entire trail system at three of the entrances. These are the work of Colin Milovsoroff, left, a Boy Scout with Vashon Troop 294. A year ago on a walk along the trails, Milovsoroff decided that the perfect Eagle Scout Project would be to create a map and signage that would make the trail system less confusing to users. After exploring and GPS tracking the trails, he designed the signs and map stands to be sturdy and long lasting. A total of 18 other Scouts and 25 parents and adults were involved in this project. He completed it on July 29, earning the Eagle Scout rank and becoming Troop 294’s 77th Eagle Scout. He is now on his way to college in Hawaii, where he plans to study marine biology.

The old ambulance, he said, had a lot of wear and tear. “We don’t want it breaking down when it’s headed to a call,� Brown said. The new ambulance, which cost around $150,000, was funded with money from the county’s EMS levy. Ross Copland, an EMT, left, says he looks forward to transporting patients in the new vehicle. /BUBMJF +PIOTPO 4UBGG 1IPUP

Clowning around on Vashon Inspired by Laurel and Hardy and Abbot and Costello, a duo offers up their own take on comedy

A new vaudeville show, “Big Time and Little Something’s Big Adventure,� will bring live music, slapstick comedy, eccentric dance and circus antics to Vashon this Friday night. The show is being presented by Islander Luz Gaxiola and San Francisco native Molly Shannon, who are members of Circus Finelli, an all-women clown troupe based in San Francisco. The group started when the four women met as students at the San Francisco Clown Conservatory in 2005 and formed an ensemble, naming it after their beloved teacher Judy Finelli. Since then, Circus Finelli has performed in San Francisco as well as Europe and Latin America. “Big Time and Little Something’s Big Adventure� will unfold in the troupe’s signature style of irreverent and bright multilingual circus comedy. It’s a show for all ages, though not specifically for children, Gaxiola said. “It’s really cartoony,� she said, adding that there was a bit of sexual innuendo included in the show. “Big Time and Little Something� tells the story of a pair

of clueless opportunists who journey to the West Coast to seek their glory and fortune in the movie business. Big Time (Gaxiola) is the boss, a voluptuous schemer wielding an accordion and a tuba. Little Something (Shannon) is the bright-eyed follower, the last remaining chorus girl who hasn’t fled from Big Time’s doomed entertainment empire. She’s slow-witted and fancy-footed and dazzled just to be along for the ride. Inspiration for the show and the characters, said Gaxiola, came from “great classic comedy pairs like Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, and Burns and Allen.� Gaxiola is Circus Finelli’s musical director. She plays a multitude of instruments, most notably the accordion — a skill that won her a place on the West Coast Accordion Babes Calendar. Some Islanders may remember seeing her in this year’s Strawberry Festival parade, dressed as a viking and playing accordion while balancing on a rolla bolla. Two summers ago, she completed one of her lifelong dreams of swimming around Vashon Island. Shannon is Circus Finelli’s choreographer, specializing in samba and eccentric dance. Aside from performing with Circus Finelli, she dances samba with “Aquarela,� the Bay Area’s premiere Brazilian Dance Ensemble. Together, the pair debuted “Big Time and Little Something� in June in San Francisco, and hope to tour with it internationally. The show will be presented at 8 p.m. Friday at

Molly Shannon and Luz Gaxiola will perform Friday night. Chautauqua Elementary School. Tickets, $10 for adults and $5 for children, are available at www.brownpapertickets and at the door. For more information, visit www. circusfinelli.com. — Elizabeth Shepherd

Celebrated guitarist comes back to Vashon

Renowned musician Alex de Grassi is returning to Vashon, bringing his celebrated fingerstyle guitar playing to the Blue Heron Arts Center for a one-night-only, mid-summer concert. De Grassi played to a full house at the Blue Heron in 2009. He’s returning to Vashon for a concert Saturday, in part, said Janice Randall, Vashon Allied Arts’ director of communications, because he and his wife “really loved being here.� The couple plans to stay on Vashon two nights in a private cottage. “He’s a wonderful player, and we’re lucky to have him here on Vashon,� she said. De Grassi, a highly accomplished steel-string guitarist, is known for what the magazine Acoustic Guitar called his “lyrical and virtuosic fingerstyle guitar work.� De Grassi, according to the article, “helped define the contemporary fingerstyle movement.� De Grassi began playing in coffee houses more than 30 years ago. In the years since then, he has graced Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center and the Montreux Jazz Festival with his intricate, solo guitar playing. Twice he’s been commissioned by the New York Guitar Festival to compose and perform live scores for the festival’s Silent Films/Live Guitars series. He’s recorded several CDs, including “Turning: Turning Back,� “Southern Exposure� and his Grammy-nominated “The Water Garden.� His latest CDs, both released in 2010, include “A Windham Hill Retrospective� and “Now and Then: Folk Songs for the 21st Century,� a disc that features contemporary arrangements of treasured melodies from the American folk tradition. “In rediscovering these songs,� he said, “I came to appreciate the maxim that folk music is a ‘living’ tradition, and that each generation will find relevance and a way to reinterpret these songs.� In light of his new CDs, Randall said, Islanders can expect a show different from the one in 2009. “He’ll have new material for this performance,� she said.

The shows are sponsored and produced by the Vashon Folk Dancers, Barking Rooster Productions and the Vashon Park District. Bring your own lawn chairs or blankets for seating. This four-piece band is made up of three fiddlers, an upright bass and a vocalist. They play a vast repertoire from all ethnic groups of the Carpathian basin, employing a wide range of traditional instruments. On Vashon, they will be joined by two dancers who will perform and teach dances to audience members. $PVSUFTZ 1IPUP

Island’s fiber artists rally, host benefit trunk show A Vashon fiber arts trunk show will raise money for Vashon Community Care on Saturday. The show, which will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Land Trust Building, will offer more than 100 one-of-a-kind fiber pieces by approximately 40 Island artists. Scarves, shawls, hats, jewelry, kids’ clothes, towels, bags, purses, quilts, beaded pieces and many other examples of fiber art will be for sale. All of the proceeds will go to VCC. The show was organized by Islander Judith Henderson, who is passionate about both fiber arts and the care center. Henderson, who moved to Vashon in 1996, is a spinner, knitter, weaver, crocheter and natural dyer, and she’s well connected to the broader fiber arts community here. Finding artists to contribute a piece for the trunk show, she said, was easy. “I emailed members of five different fiber groups on the

Island and got an immediate positive response,� she said. Some of the many artists who agreed to participate in the trunk sale include Judith Henderson, Marcy McCarthy, Alison Bucklin, Edna Dam, Sue Willingham, Nancy van Roessel and many other members of the knitters, spinners, weaving and quilting groups on the Island. It’s all for a great cause, Henderson said. VCC is in need of support, since a large percentage of its residents are on Medicaid, a government subsidized plan that doesn’t fully cover the costs of long-term care. What’s more, the agency will soon undertake a major fundraising campaign in an effort to raise enough money to refinance its mortgage, a move that will help to sustain the organization over the long-term. “It’s such an incredible community treasure, and many of us wind up living out our lives there,� Henderson said. “We want it to be around.� d.

Changes at Colvos Y reflect Vashon’s shift to a commuter community By BRUCE HAULMAN For The Beachcomber

The Colvos Y on the west side of the Island is actually the convergence of three different roads — Cedarhurst Road from the north, the Westside Highway from the south and 121st Avenue S.W. from the east. Originally these roads had different names and the corners had names, too. When all of Vashon’s street names were standardized in the 1990s, the Westside Highway became the common designation for this entire stretch of road from the intersection with Vashon Highway at Jack’s Corner (where John L. Scott Realty is located) to the intersection at S.W. 220th Street near Lisabuela. Residents in the 1920s and 1930s called the road running north from the Y the Colvos Road because it led to the Colvos Dock. Cedarhurst Road did not begin until about two miles to the north where the side road ran down to Colvos Dock. The road coming in from the west was called Cove Road, and what is now 121st Avenue was called Krokset Road, after the Krokset family who lived there. The

Y itself was called Lokke’s Corner after the Lokke family, a clan that lived in the house on the east side of what is now Cedarhurst. Cedarhurst Road — or what early residents called Colvos Road — was constructed in the early 1920s to connect west-side farms to the auto ferry to Seattle that opened at Vashon Heights in 1919. There were Mosquito Fleet steamer docks at Cove, Colvos and Cedarhurst, but the automobile spelled their doom. The early road was only one lane and was unpaved, but as automobiles became more prevalent, King County began to pave these roads in the 1930s and 1940s. Once the west side had been logged, farmers began to convert the land to agriculture and planted berries and orchards and built greenhouses and poultry barns. Largely from Scandinavia, these farmers also supplemented their income with fishing and boat-building. By 1923, the land had been cleared for farming and houses. The Colvos Store, built in 1923 (the second building on the left in the top photo), and the 1909 Golgotha Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church (third building on the left)

can be clearly seen. A pasture, currant field and strawberry field are visible on the right. Another orchard lies behind the farmhouse on the right. To the left open pastures and what is now Ober Beach Road are visible. Today, the roads are in the same locations but have been widened and paved. The Lokke house is still there, although significantly remodeled. Trees obscure the Colvos Store and Havurat Ee Shalom (the former Norwegian Lutheran church). The house on the right in the 1923 photograph is also obscured by trees, and the house visible in the 2009 photograph is located in the currant field of the 1923 photograph. Like much of Vashon, the Colvos Y reflects the shift from a largely agricultural economy to a largely commuter-based economy. With this change, homes replaced farms, second-growth forests replaced fields and roads were renamed in the interest of conformity with the county road grid system. — Bruce Haulman is an Island historian. He develops these columns with Terry Donnelly, a renowned nature photographer.

Champion rower returns for another round at worlds

By NATALIE JOHNSON

Staff Writer

Mia Croonquist, the celebrated teen rower who was part of a winning boat at the world championships last summer, hasn’t rowed much since bringing home her gold medal last August. The 15-year-old spent the last nine months attending high school in Hawaii But now Croonquist is back and proving to the world that she’s still got it on the water. She has once again been selected as one of just 16 girls to compete on the U.S. team at the World Rowing Junior Championships — the highest level of competition for a junior rower. This year’s competition will take place next week in Bulgaria. “I was a bit nervous; I didn’t know what kind of shape I was in,� Coonquist said of the selection camp she attended last month. “You’ve just got to push yourself and see where you can go. I ended up making it, and that was awesome.� Croonquist, reached at home before she

Mia Croonquist will compete for the second time at the world junior rowing competition. left to train with the U.S. team at Princeton University, said that while in Hawaii she kept

fit by participating in cross country and outrigger canoe paddling. Once at the selection camp, she said, her times weren’t as good as they were last year. However, her coaches knew her situation, she said, and selected her for the team with the condition that she would improve her speed by the time of the competition. “We made a deal. They realized I hadn’t rowed in a long time,� she said. Last year Croonquist made history as the youngest girl to ever compete for the U.S. at worlds. Her boat, a straight four, took home gold, beating New Zealand, Great Britain and several other teams. Croonquist said she decided to spend her sophomore year in Hawaii because it’s a place she and her family love to visit and because she’s been advised by others not to burn out on rowing before going to college. She worried that it would be hard to take a year off of crew while living on Vashon, and her coaches and teammates were supportive of her decision.

“I’m really glad I went out there,� she said. “I think it was a really good decision.� Richard Parr, a world-class rowing coach recently selected to head the Vashon Island Rowing Club, said he has only worked with Croonquist a few times but he’s impressed wither her abilities. Parr said some credit Mia’s success to her strength and athleticism, but he also sees a rower whose intelligence and attitude benefit her just as much. “She just has such a sensible and smart head on her shoulders,� Parr said. “There are a lot of big, strong girls around, and not a lot get to be world champions. She’s a complete package.� In Bulgaria Croonquist will stroke the women’s eight, meaning she’ll set the boat’s pace. Croonquist, humble about her accomplishments, said she was on a team of other talented girls. Since many of last year’s teammates graduated, many of this year’s U.S. rowers are young like her, she said. “I’m exited its’ a young team,� she said. “We can only improve.�

Realtors beat out fire department on the course

This summer Windermere came out on top of the green — the golf green, that is. Windermere employees were champions of a new business league formed by the Vashon Golf & Swim Club, beating Vashon Island Fire & Rescue’s team by just a few strokes. Jim Utter, a club member who recently moved to Vashon from Alaska, started the informal league after hearing that the club was looking for ways to attract more people to the golf course and to draw

new members. “I thought this was prime territory to develop something positive and new,� Utter said. Business league members from nine different Vashon organizations — including Thriftway, Sawbones and the King County road crew — played once a week for a regular green fee and enjoyed snacks afterwards. About 90 percent of the players were not club members and would normally not have access to the course, he said. Utter said everyone

seemed to enjoy the opportunity to golf and socialize. Play began in May and ended on July 31, when Windermere was declared the champion and given a trophy. “We had a great time and a had a lot of fun with it,� he said. Many of the golfers, Utter said, have already requested that the club host a winter league, and some business that didn’t play have inquired about how they can get involved. — Natalie Johnson

The Beachcomber’s offices were burglarized Friday night or Saturday morning, according to Daralyn Anderson, the newspaper’s publisher. Four computers were stolen, as well as a camera, a pair of headphones, keyboards and other items. No signs of forced entry were found at either of the doors at the office, located across from Ober Park, leading sheriff’s deputies to suspect that the burglar or burglars had somehow secured a key. The incident was a blow to the small paper, as all four computers served the paper’s editorial department, Anderson said. But Sound Publishing, the paper’s parent company, was able to quickly replace them, enabling the paper to get published this week. “We’re deeply concerned about the breakin,� Anderson added, noting that the company has already taken measures to ensure a similar incident doesn’t occur again.

A loose dog killed more than 35 chickens at a Vashon home earlier this month. Nannette Dean, who lives in Paradise Valley, said that on Aug. 1 a dog broke through chicken wire to attack her flock of 70 chickens, killing 36 and injuring two more. Some of the chickens, she said, likely died from a heart attack or while trying to escape. “It was a massacre,� she said. Dean said she first thought a stray dog was to blame. She later learned that a 2-year-old dog owned by a woman visiting a property next door got loose and killed the birds. Dean said it was too late in the season to replace the chickens. She regretted the incident most because her mentally handicapped son enjoys caring for the flock. “Right now he’s digging a hole for me,� she said.

Kenneth L. Cooper may 31, 1943 - july 24th 2012

Kenneth L. Cooper was born in Kirkland, Washington to Raymond and Ellen Cooper. He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings; Vern, Dave, Doug and Shirley. In 2003 Ken retired from Washington State Ferries; he began working as a ticket seller in 1965 and later moved into the engine department. While working at the Fauntleroy terminal he met his wife of 44 Years, Barbara (Brenno) Cooper. As a young man and father Ken shared his passion for fishing, boating, camping and laughter with his family and many friends. Ken was a creative businessman and provider for his family. Through the years Ken’s business ventures ran the gambit from brush picking, recycling K2 barrels, running a second hand store (Treasure Barn), a traveling concession motorhome (Food Coop)at the north-end ferry dock, collection agency, and Vashon Taxi service which included delivering Al & Tony’s pizzas. Survivors include his wife Barbara, children; Bradley Cooper, James and Kirsten Cooper, Kristina (Cooper) and Matt Radford, and Wendy Nichols Cooper; five grandchildren; Bradley, Nicholas, Cody, William, Hunter, Collin and siblings; Donna Hubbard, Vanessa Reice, Al Cooper, Roger Cooper and Richard Cooper. Memorials or Remembrances may be made in his name to the Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Museum, 10105 SW Bank Rd, Vashon, Washington or the 9-11 Memorial at Vashon Island Fire and Rescue, PO Box 1150, Vashon, WA 98070.

Allied Arts, which has proposed tearing down two of the buildings at the intersection and constructing a 20,000-square-foot performing arts center in their place. Were the district to win approval, it would not affect VAA’s plans, since the arts organization has already applied for its building permit. At the same time, however, some Islanders and county officials have voiced concern about the project’s impact on the historic nature of Center, and the nomination process could add fodder to the debate. “It comes at a complicated time,� said Holly Taylor, a historic preservation expert on Vashon and a strong proponent of the Center nomination. The nomination, she said, “should be considered on its own merits. But because of the VAA project, it all gets sort of knotted up together.� Molly Reed, VAA’s executive director, called a meeting last week with some of the landowners in the proposed district. Even though the arts organization won’t be affected by the designation, she said, she suggested the meeting because “it seemed we should be discussing it.� At that meeting, she said, several landowners voiced concern about the designation. Reed said she, too, has concerns, based on her experience operating an arts program out of the Blue Heron

Arts Center, a 100-year-old structure protected as a county historic landmark. “We want to take care of our buildings, but we might not want the county telling us how to do it,� she said. “It’s kind of like a property rights thing,� she added. “People have had such bad experiences with building things on the Island.� Jim Stewart, who owns the building that houses Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie and Minglement, attended last week’s meeting and said the issues raised gave him pause about the designation. Dietz, who talked to him about it several months ago, said Stewart supported the nomination at the time. But Stewart said he now has qualms about it. “I like the idea of preserving history, but I’m not as excited about the nomination,� he said. “I think it might be a little too late for such a monumental activity, when you look at how much the buildings have already changed.� Bob Seibold, who owns the small blue-gray garage just south of the intersection, said he, too, initially supported the nomination; he heard from Dietz and others that a designation could result in low-interest loans and tax benefits, he said. But after last week’s meeting, where he heard Reed talk about her struggle to get the Blue Heron’s roof replaced, he’s beginning to question the nomination, he said. He also talked to two real estate agents, both of whom told him a designation would hurt his property values.

“It makes me nervous,â€? Seibold said. “We don’t have a lot of money. ‌ To have a potential resale affected by the cloud of what could be done to the property in the future — that’s a big negative to me.â€? But Roy McMakin, who owns the Old Fuller Store, another historic structure at the intersection, supports the nomination and took issue with what he called Reed’s effort to “galvanize support against it.â€? He said he and his partner purchased the store, built in 1884, “because of its specialness, which is intrinsically tied to the fact that it’s a historically compelling structure.â€? Protecting the corner as a landmark, he said, is akin to property owners protecting a wetland. “Preserving some of the remnants of the past is of great benefit to those who are here now or in the future,â€? he said. The county has several historic districts, including commercial neighborhoods in Falls City, Snoqualmie and North Bend. According to the county, properties within a historic district don’t face onerous regulations; when a property owner wants to make a change that affects the exterior look of the building, he or she needs to call the historic preservation office and explain the change. “If it’s minor, they can go ahead and do it,â€? Koler said. More significant changes have to be reviewed by the Landmark Commission, which meets monthly. “Anything proposed by property owners is reviewed within a

Page 19

month,â€? she added. According to a two-page document by the county’s historic preservation program, there are several incentives for landowners who have a landmarked site, including property tax breaks, tax credits and grant programs. “To frame it as a bureaucracy is a stretch. ‌ We’re more of an advocate than an adversary,â€? Koler said. Those in the historic preservation community say they’re hopeful Center can win a designation. “It’s one of the few existing intact historic intersections in King County,â€? said Bruce Haulman, who also supports VAA’s project. “I don’t think it’ll restrain what’s being done by VAA. But what it will do is help preserve the other parts of the corner that are already there and should be preserved.â€? McFeeds, built in 1926 as Zarth’s Island Garage, would not be preserved if the historic district were established, Haulman noted, since it is already slated to be demolished as part of VAA’s construc-

tion plan. Haulman, a well-known Island historian, said he thinks that’s fine. “You want to preserve what’s preservable. And McFeeds has been changed so much, ‌ it’s hardly recognizable.â€? But much else at the corner is worthy of protection, he said. “It’ll help to maintain the historic character of that corner,â€? he said. Taylor concurred. “It recognizes what a lot of people have been saying for a long time — that that conglomeration of buildings is special and has a lot of character. If it’s designated, there’s some added protection for those buildings.â€? But others say they don’t trust the county or the process. Loren Sinner, who owns LS Cedar, a business at Center, also attended last week’s meeting. His property is not considered historic and would not be affected by a designation. Even so, he said, he opposes the district. “Everyone likes the idea, but nobody wants another government agency telling us what we can do,â€? he said.

The organization was to respond to the King County Department of Development and Environmental Services by July 22. With an extension in hand, VAA won’t need to respond until late September. James Chan, assistant director of permitting for DDES, said the extension may suggest that VAA is considering a redesign. “They were going full speed ahead and then they suddenly put on the brakes,� he said. But Kirk Robinson, VAA’s project manager, said the organization sought the extension because of the complexity of some of the questions DDES has raised. “We just wanted to be thorough in our response,� he said.

Group will advise on former Glacier site

MAURY PARK CONTINUED FROM 1

this fall, is expected to do habitat restoration work on at least 100 acres of the 300-acre park, said Tina Miller, a volunteer coordinator for King County Parks who is helping to plan the project. She said the county hopes Vashon residents will apply to work on the job as well. The state Department of Ecology will hire the SoundCorps crew members, who must be either 18 to 25 years old or a veteran. There will also be openings for three or four supervisor positions, which do not have an age restriction. “It’s a great opportunity for Vashon residents,� Miller said. The work will focus first on the mining “scar� at the site, the most disturbed part of the park where Scotch broom and blackberry bushes have all but taken over. Work will extend to the shoreline and will also include the construction of three miles of trails. “This is huge,� said Rabourn, who is advising the county on the project. “Without this kind of influx of labor and resources we would never be able to take on the scale of project that is needed here.� The funding for Puget SoundCorps was approved by the state Legislature last spring as part of a $78 million jobs creation bill. Miller said the Maury park was chosen as a site for work by SoundCorps because of its long stretch of undeveloped shoreline — habitat that is vital for salmon, orcas and other marine life — and the restoration groundwork that has been completed by previous volunteer efforts. “It has a big connection with improving and restoring the shorelines of Puget Sound,� Miller said. Adam Atwell, a member of the Friends of Maury Island Marine Park, said the Friends group was thrilled to learn about the work that will soon begin at the park. “It’s just a humungous, crazy, big thing,� Atwell said. “They could potentially rid the park every Scotch broom

Frank W. Davis Born May 13, 1918 in Seattle to Carl & Mabel Hopkins Davis. Frank grew up in Burien, and attended Highline High School before enlisting in the army. He served under General Patton in the 607th Tank Destroyer battalion in WW11. He and his wife Peg settled and raised their family on a portion of Peg’s family’s pioneer homestead near Renton, WA. He was employed by the University of Washington as a construction coordinator for south campus. Upon retirement they traveled and enjoyed their beautiful granddaughters. Frank moved to Vashon Island after Pegs death in 1997 to enjoy living next-door to his loving daughter and her family. He enjoyed wood carving, painting, hunting and documenting his time spent in WW11. At 94 years young Frank died peacefully in his sleep on July 31st, 2012. He leaves his daughters Judy Whipple (Chipps) and Joan Davis, son Robert Davis and four granddaughters; Tegan (Ben) and Erin Horan, Sadie (Brian) and Bailey Whipple. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Prexy, Johnny, April and all the staff of Island Elder Care. We would also like to express our gratitude to the many friends and Vashon merchants who appreciated his projects, conversation and stories.

An Islander strolls through the Maury Island Marine Park, which volunteer crews have been working to restore for the past several years. and blackberry plant.� Since 2008, the advisory group has worked to improve both the habitat and recreational opportunities at the park. The Friends secured funding to construct the viewing platform now perched above the expansive park as well as interpretive signs for visitors. They recently submitted plans to the county for an open-air picnic platform near the park’s shoreline. Atwell, who walks at the park several times a week, said he’s already seen native trees such as madrones, alder and cottonwood become more established at the park. The SoundCorps work, he said, will only speed up a restoration process that could have taken years. “On the periphery, it’s coming back pretty nice,� he said. “This will just accelerate that. I think it will be a really neat place.� For information about crew and supervisor positions in the Puget SoundCorps, including the Maury Island Marine Park project, see www.ecy.wa.gov/wcc/psc.html.

King County recently assembled an advisory group of Vashon residents that will help determine the use of the former Glacier mining site on Maury Island. The convening of the group is the latest step in a lengthy process to clean and develop the 275-acre open space purchased by the county last year. Soil at the site is polluted with arsenic from the ASARCO copper smelter. The group of about a dozen Islanders met for the first time last week. Connie Blumen, natural lands program manager at King County Parks, said the volunteer group includes community members who frequent the site as well as experts in areas such as landscaping, habitat restoration and trail building. “There are some pretty sophisticated people in the group,� Blumen said, adding that the volunteers have pledged to represent the Vashon community and not just their own interests. Similar advisory groups, she said, have been formed in the past to aid in site development, including work at Island Center Forest. “We’ll take their recommendations very seriously,� she said. The advisory group will make suggestions on a variety of issues, from the fate of the abandoned mining structures to the site’s name. With the group’s guidance, the county will develop an official plan for how the property will be used as a park or natural area, including what amenities will be present and what activities will be allowed there. The plan, which will be subject to a public comment period early next year and approval by the King County Council, will then help the state Department of Ecology develop a plan for soil remediation at the property. Amy Carey, the director of Preserve Our Islands who is serving as a technical adviser on the committee, said volunteers for the group represent a variety of interests but are all interested in seeing the former mining site protected and restored to an ecologically healthy place the community can enjoy. “The overarching interest is why we have the property and why it’s so important,� she said. “Environmental and ecological stuff is front and center.� — Natalie Johnson

Take 5 Special

Bernie is the quintessential orange boy. He

is sweet and mellow. Bernie was found near the golf course with a big gash on the top of his head. When he was examined, the vet determined that he had likely been hit by a car and was lucky that he survived. Bernie was probably seeing stars when he got hit but he can thank his lucky stars that he was okay. Surprisingly, Bernie has not been claimed by his person. His wound is all healed up and now he is ready to settle into a new home. This guy would be a great addition to any family. Bernie came to VIPP on 6/24/12.

Is this your cat?

Found Aug 3rd - end of SW Caster Rd., on Paradise Cove. The cat is very friendly – and is obviously NOT feral. She’s also very vocal. Although she’s quite small, she appears to be in good health.
