County decides to continue controversial rumble strips
Saving the world, one stove at a time
But in an effort at compromise with cyclists, the project is narrower in scope
By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
A line of metal stoves — all about the size of top hats — sits on a shelf at the Burn Design Lab’s bustling shop in the Sheffield Building south of Vashon town. Some have doodles on them — faces or designs created in moments of whimsy. Others are charred from use. Collectively, they represent something huge and potentially life-altering, a social and engineering experiment that could change the face of East Africa. The stoves — ultimately hundreds of designs were created — are all iterations in an attempt to come up with the perfect prototype: a stove that burns far less charcoal, that produces less carbon monoxide, that costs little to make and that performs ably for the women who do the lion’s share of the cooking in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia and elsewhere in East Africa. After 18 months of work, the engineers and activists who have worked long hours at the

What’s more, thanks to a $300,000 loan from a Fortune 10 corporation, as well as the promise of additional funds, they’re also close to scaling up — building a Kenyanbased manufacturing plant that can begin kicking out thousands of these small, cobalt blue, cylinder-shaped stoves.
It’s called The Tank. And for Peter Scott, the charismatic founder of Burn Design Lab, this final iteration — what he and others believe is the perfect stove for East Africa — represents an auspicious moment. “We’re there,” he said last week as he stood outside of the newly dedicated lab where the stoves’
performance is tested. “In 18 months, we went from scratch to building the best charcoal stove on the planet,” he said. The stove consumes 50 percent less charcoal than the best current stove on the market. One small chamber’s worth of charcoal can SEE STOVES, 10
The magic of bioluminescence
A nighttime phenomenon lights up our sand and waters By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
A rock is tossed into the waves and a small firework explodes in the water. A stick traced in the muddy sand leaves a trail of light. A child jumps in the water and is suddenly bathed in glowing, blue-green crystals. Some describe summer in the Northwest as magical. But during these long, hot stretches of late summer, nighttime can seem otherworldly as Puget Sound shorelines — including some
on Vashon — glow from a natural phenomenon called bioluminescence. “It’s just enchanting,” said Leslie Enzian, who once saw bioluminescence at KVI Beach. When she and her son saw the light, they jumped in the cold water to play in it. Enzian said she kept her young son up far past his bedtime, but the experience was worth it. “If you’re in the water and swish your arms ,there are sparkles everywhere … and if you stand up you’re covered in stars,” she said. Despite several more late-night trips to the
beach, Enzian said she hasn’t seen the bioluminescence in a couple of years. “I’ve been on a search ever since. I tell people to call me if they see it,” she said. “It’s such a rare and magical thing.” Indeed bioluminescence, appearing mysteriously at any movement in the water, is also somewhat unpredictable. Experiencing the phenomenon, often called sea sparkle, depends largely on being in the right place at SEE BIOLUMINESCENCE, 19
In an effort to address concerns raised by cyclists, King County officials plan to remove some of the rumble strips along the shoulders of Vashon Highway, sweep shoulders more frequently and install signs warning cyclists of the stretches of grooved pavement. But they stopped short of agreeing to a motion passed by Vashon’s community council and pushed by many Island cyclists calling for a complete end to the project and a commitment to pave over the rumble strips that have already been installed over the course of the next two years. Harold Taniguchi, director of the county’s Department of Transportation, said during a telephone interview Monday that the county will continue a project that was halted four months ago, extending the installation of rumble strips south down the center line of Vashon Highway to the Tahlequah ferry terminal. The stripping project currently stops at S.W. 204th Street. The county will also mill a few additional stretches of pavement along the shoulders of the highway on the southern half of the Island, in keeping with its initial rumble strip plan. But the new work plan reflects what Taniguchi called a “balanced approach” and “a compromise,” SEE RUMBLE STRIPS, 15

North End Waterfront
A community campaign to raise money for a new digital projection system for the Vashon Theatre is nearing its end and has brought in more than $76,000 since it began in June. The goal is $80,000, according to Tag Gornall, who, as a member of Island GreenTech, helped spearhead the campaign. Fundraising efforts will continue until Aug. 31. At the Vashon Theatre, owner Eileen Wolcott expressed her gratitude. “We’re overwhelmed and shocked and excited and stressed and thrilled,� she said. “I like to think of myself as an optimist, but I never would have imagined this. It’s just miraculous.� Members of Island GreenTech, a group that supports Vashon entrepreneurs, stepped forward to raise the funds because of changes in the film industry. Theaters across the country will soon have to switch to digital projection systems, rather than continue to rely on the projectors for 35 mm film that have been used for years. Wolcott had been planning to take out a business loan to cover the costs of the new equipment, but it was a move she was not relishing. “We’re so grateful,� she said. With their goal in sight, Wolcott, Gornall and Islanders with expertise in digital projection systems have been working to determine the best options and have two bids secured from companies that might install the equipment, Gornall said. They expect the projector will be installed in October. In all, according to Wolcott, money from the community will fund a

Moviegoers leave the Vashon Theatre on Monday. digital projector, a pedestal for it to sit on, equipment necessary to make the projector work, a new screen and sound and lighting equipment. It is also possible the theater will be able to purchase 3D equipment, but such a move requires plumbing and wiring for a washing machine for the glasses, the machine itself and the glasses, which cost $10 each. Wolcott is not certain yet if there will be enough funds for 3D, she said, but she is hopeful. “It would be really nice to have something fun to show the people of Vashon,� she said. Both Gornall and Wolcott noted they are being careful stewards of the money the community has entrusted to them and are making decisions carefully. The theater will also use its own money to make necessary changes, Wolcott said. Funds will go to plumbing, wiring, renovation of the stage and repairs to the roof and awning to keep water out. “It’s a fixer building,� Wolcott said.
The campaign was a positive experience for Gornall. “I feel very good about it,� he said. “One of the exciting things is people stopping you in the store and on the street and handing you money. ... I’m just amazed that we in this community have so much trust with each other.� Not only did people donate when asked, he said, but people tracked him down in order to make a contribution. About six members of GreenTech formed the core of the campaign, but Gornall says he feels the whole community was involved. At the Strawberry Festival, he noted, passersby put more than $6,000 in the donation jar at their booth. Do the math, he said, and it works out to each Islander contributing roughly the cost of a movie ticket. Without the weight of a large loan looming, Wolcott noted, she is looking ahead and has many projects in mind. “This little theater is going to turn into something for the people of Vashon to really enjoy,� she said.

Car rolls when driver swerves to avoid a deer
A man was transported to the hospital early on Friday, Aug. 10, after rolling his car on Vashon Highway. The man was driving north on Vashon Highway at about 1 a.m., when he swerved to avoid hitting a deer near the intersection of S.W. 140th Street, said Josh Munger, a captain at Vashon Island Fire & Rescue. The car, a black sedan, landed upside down in the bushes. Emergency responders transported the man via ferry to Harborview Medical Center. Munger was unable to disclose the man’s injuries, but said he

After 23 years as the owner of her own practice, dentist Ann Mayeda has sold her business but will continue to practice there for the foreseeable future. The new owner, dentist Adam Cramer, also purchased Courthouse Square Dental Clinic earlier this year and operates that practice as well. It is now called Advanced Dental Care of Vashon. There he and dentist James Cunnington offer routine dental services and specialty care that previously was not available on Vashon, Cramer said, such as root canals, dental implants and wisdom teeth extraction. At Mayeda’s office, the staff, care and services will remain the same. “From the patients’ perspective, not much is going to change,� she said. She noted she is pleased she can now refer people to on-Island providers for services they previously had to travel to Seattle for.

Richard Sanders, a libertarian lawyer and Gold Beach resident, has a shot at returning to the state’s highest court after he narrowly garnered enough votes to advance to the general election. Sanders lost his seat on the state Supreme Court two years ago, when Bainbridge Island lawyer Charles Wiggins defeated him. But he ran again, and by Monday night, he had narrowly claimed the number two spot in a four-way race, placing him on the ballot for November’s general election. Sanders will face Seattle appeals lawyer Sheryl Gordon McCloud.

“I think it will be better for my patients because we’re offering more now,� she said. “I am happy they have a choice.� Mayeda listed her office for sale earlier this year and thought that it might take a year to sell it, she said. Only 10 days later she learned Cramer was interested. “I was shocked myself,� she said. Relinquishing ownership will allow her to focus on dental care itself and leave the administrative work that comes with running a practice to others, she said. The name of her practice will change down the road, she noted, to reflect the change of ownership. Cramer noted the Courthouse Square office is a preferred provider for most insurance companies, and Mayeda said her office may begin to accept additional insurance plans as well.

Community solar project clears major hurdle By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
The Backbone Campaign’s effort to create the first community solar project in King County cleared a major hurdle last week when a state agency gave it the green light to begin soliciting investors. As a result of the decision by the state Department of Financial Institutions, the Vashon-based group can begin the next chapter in its project, securing enough investments to build the $540,000 installation — a 65-kilowatt solar array that will kick out enough power The Backbone Campaign will hold its first presentation about its community solar project at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 30, at the Land Trust Building. Information is also available at http://vashoncommunitysolar.org or by calling Backbone at 408-8058.
to fuel seven houses a year. Bill Moyer, director of the Backbone Campaign, said the state’s imprimatur means the “moment of truth� has arrived for the ambitious project. “We’ve worked very hard, using the resources we were given, to get to this place,� he said. “Now it’s up to the community. My hope is that we’ll do something of significance.� At the same time, he acknowledged, the project is behind — it lost one summer of possible solar production — because of the many roadblocks it had to clear. “We’re like the Hobbit,� he said. “Every time we cross a mountain pass, there’s another one ahead.� Carol Eggen, a former airline executive who stepped in to help Moyer with the project, said she was pleased by the latest development — the state agency gave the campaign an exemption from a requirement to reg-
ister as a security. The process, though complex, has led to a better project, she said. “I think our offering materials are clearer.� With the exemption in hand, Eggen said, county officials can now take their next step, transmitting a proposed contract between the Backbone Campaign and the county to the King County Council for approval. The community solar project, should it win council approval and garner enough investors, will be built at the county’s Transfer Station on the Westside Highway. Both Eggen and Moyer said they’re excited they can now talk openly about the project and begin the process of seeking investors. But because they’ve been legally limited in what they could say until now, they also don’t know how their message will be received. “My hope is that people will seize the moment,�

Moyer said. Under the project they’ve developed, people can donate as little as $1,000 to participate in Vashon Community Solar, making it, Eggen and Moyer say, an opportunity for Islanders of modest means to support the growing effort to create renewable energy sources. Community solar projects are taking place in communities across the state and around the country, most of them driven by tax and financial incentives offered by the government in an attempt to jump-start the fledgling solar panel manufacturing industry and bring more green power into the grid. Vashon’s project represents the first one in the county, a project county officials hope will become a prototype for other neighborhoods and communities. Eggen said the return on investments will be modest — around 1 to 2 percent a year. But there’s potential for higher returns, she said; the state, for instance, could extend incentives slated to sunset in 2020. Mostly, though, she and Moyer hope people will find their vision compelling. “We just have to find the funds and build what we can build,� Moyer said.

Islewilde promises a creative spectacle for its 20th year Islewilde, Vashon’s quirky performance arts festival, comes to a climax this weekend with performances on Friday and Saturday. The festival, celebrating its 20th year, began on Aug. 3 with daily workshops in mask making, costume creation, circus skills and puppetry — all in preparation for this weekend’s homegrown, family-friendly and sometimes thoughtprovoking performances. Islewilde was founded in 1992 by the popular performance troupe UMO. Four years later, ensemble members handed the festival off to other community members. It continues to be run by volunteers, with support from King County’s 4Culture and local contributors, and it annually draws both Islanders and visitors to its classes and festivities, held in a different Island meadow each year. This year’s event is being held at a field on Old Mill Road and is directed by Islewilde
veteran Adam Ende and Sequin Hutton. Organizers promise a special surprise for the festival’s 20th anniversary. “Suffice it to say that when you come, you will be treated to an experimental immersive participatory theater experience like you have never experienced before,� lead organizer Doug Skove said in a press release. Islewilde workshops run by artist mentors continue through Thursday, beginning at 3 p.m. each day. On Friday a lantern walk at dusk will be followed by a shadow puppet show and other illuminated performances. Saturday performances will begin at 1 p.m. and continue through the evening, culminating in a late-night campfire show. Islewilde is held at a field at 21150 Old Mill Road.

EDITORIAL
Summer school could spell grade inflation
As governments go, ours is engaged and responsive
Grading policies are carefully thought-out, reflecting clear records of achievement
Criticizing King County is a sport on Vashon, and every now and then, it’s an understandable preoccupation. No government is perfect, and certainly not Seattle-based King County. But those who think it’s an absentee government paying scant attention to the Island should take a closer look at this week’s paper. Let’s start with a small item on page 9, where we note the county’s plan to hold a work party to build a trail through a new swath of Island Center Forest, recently purchased by the county. County crews have already begun the process, after spending weeks clearing out debris left behind by a small but ensconced homeless community. The new 'SPN PVS WBOUBHF QPJOU holding means Island Center Forest is now 400 acres strong. XF TFF B HPWFSONFOU Or consider a story on page UIBU GPS UIF NPTU QBSU 5 about the deal that’s been JT GPSXBSE UIJOLJOH forged between the Backbone SFTQPOTJWF BOE IBOET PO Campaign and King County to develop the area’s first community solar project. After months of working with the Backbone Campaign, the county is now ready to transmit its proposed contract to the county council for approval. By all accounts, the county has been a strong and engaged partner in the process. Finally, there’s the front-page story about the county’s efforts to redesign portions of its rumble strip project in response to the Island’s outcry. The project is a misguided effort on the county’s part to improve highway safety on Vashon. We’re sorry these grooved strips of pavement were installed, and the way the project unfolded is unfortunate. But in the months since, county officials have clearly poured considerable hours into an attempt to address the situation. They’ve openly acknowledged that they failed to engage the community before beginning the project. They’ve come out to the Island several times and plan to again next week, when they’ll explain the rationale behind their thinking at the VashonMaury Island Community Council. One can certainly take issue with their decisions, but we believe they’ve worked hard and in good faith over the last few months in an effort to address a difficult situation. Islanders occasionally suggest King County is made up of incompetent and unfeeling bureaucrats. They decry the lack of “local� control. They suggest we have no government. But in fact, we are governed; we do have representation, and those at the helm are, for the most part, smart, professional and well-meaning. In this era of anti-government sentiment, where Pres. Kennedy’s famous words — “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country� — seem quaint and distant, it’s easy to decry the county’s failings. But from our vantage point, we see a government that, for the most part, is forward-thinking, responsive and hands-on. Despite its imperfections, the county strives to do right by Vashon. Let’s keep that in mind even as we fight to ensure that our values and sensibilities are fully represented at the highest levels of county government.
By STEPHEN FLOYD For The Beachcomber
In June, I agreed to work with a group of community tutors who would help students in English. I believed that the assignment involved advising the tutors so that they could help struggling students be better prepared for next year’s classes. When I later discovered that one aspect of this summer program was to alter grades that students earned in the past academic year, based on their work with the volunteer tutors, I respectfully informed Vashon High School Principal Susan Hanson that I could not in good conscience participate in that effort. I believe it is neither educationally valid nor ethical for a student’s grade to be changed after a class has ended, based on work done primarily with a volunteer tutor. Here’s why. I am fortunate to work with an outstanding group of professional educators. We think very carefully about our grading policies. As a staff, we engage in formal and informal conversations with each other about whether our grades reasonably reflect both the overall curriculum goals and the relative importance of any given assignment. We grapple as educators with how to design grading policies that appropriately recognize students for a range of essential skills and an understanding of
content. Ideally, we want our grading policies to also encourage the habits of mind that will help our students continue to succeed as they progress in their education. The curriculum goals for each class are based on Washington state standards. Our students have consistently performed well on state assessments (the WASL and HSPE), with approximately 95 percent passing them year after year after year in both reading and writing. In the Humanities Department at VHS, we constantly strive to improve our instruction to bring that final 5 percent over the finishing line. We work throughout the year to prepare students for these state-mandated tests. But more importantly we strive to create meaningful assessments that accurately measure and reflect students’ achievement of these core learning goals and life skills. I suppose that’s a roundabout way of saying that we are professionals with a clear record of achievement, a commitment to ongoing improvement and a thoughtful approach to determining student grades. It may help to clarify what a letter grade communicates in one of our classes. It is not a measure of an individual’s potential, personality or innate intelligence. The student earns a grade during a specified timeframe for a range of work that usually includes several major assignments designed to measure achievement of essential reading or writing skills. Behaviors such as extra effort, curiosity, attention and cooperation in small groups certainly affect a student’s grade, but each teacher sets a grading policy

7"" IBT BMXBZT TVQQPSUFE IJTUPSJD QSFTFSWBUJPO The concerns raised by Vashon Allied Arts over a proposal to designate Center as a historic district should by no means overshadow the organization’s longtime sup-
port of historic preservation on this island. After all, this is the group that took over a 1912 Odd Fellows Hall 31 years ago and turned it into a viable, thriving arts center. It’s not easy being caretakers of an old building. In recent years, VAA has had to insulate the building, replace the roof, fix the foundation and install a sprinkler system,

STAFF PUBLISHER: ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR: CIRCULATION:
designed primarily to reflect student achievement of the essential curriculum goals. While letter grades are certainly not perfect, it’s the system we currently use. We take very seriously our responsibility to develop grading policies that are both meaningful and fair. The final grade balances a number of factors, including quizzes and tests, homework, class discussions, collaborative group projects, creative writing, academic essays and other demonstrations of student learning. Ultimately, our grading policies benefit all our students. The University of Washington tracks how closely a student’s GPA at the university compares with their high school GPA. Students from high schools that have only a small disparity in GPA from high school to the university get a preferential bonus when they apply for admission. Our graduates see only a very slight drop in GPA from high school to the university. In fact, over a recent four-year period, VHS ranked ninth overall and in the top four public high schools in Washington state. We take a degree of professional pride in the idea that our grades are not inflated and that our students benefit from the high standards we set for them. If we start allowing grade changes after the fact, determined by individuals who are well-meaning but not professional educators, how long can we expect that benefit — provided to every VHS student who applies to the University of Washington — to continue?

among other tasks. And this won’t end once the new Vashon Center for the Arts is built, since the Blue Heron is designed to be an integral part of the new arts campus. In fact, future plans call for the building’s interior to be restored and reconfigured for VAA’s dance and education programs. 4&& -&55&34 /&95 1"(&

On a recent trip to New England, I passed through many small towns where old fraternal lodges sat empty and neglected. As our own Odd Fellows Hall celebrates its 100th year, I’m glad it’s been spared a similar fate. — Fred Albert
Hydroplanes
Sound brings back memories I hear those early morning hydroplanes differently from some. The hum of the hydroplane reminds me of the “Flight of the Bumblebee.� The hydroplane driver is insistent to get around the island first, and the bumblebee is insistent to find honey. But most of all I’m reminded of myself and my sisters, on an early summer morning in the 1920s, setting off around the southern point of Maury Island and heading north around the island in our leaking double-oared rowboat. I hear the hydroplanes as they buzz back past my house, and back in the 20s we girls got back to our wilderness camp on the eastern shore of Vashon well before dark. — Dorothy Hall Bauer
Service center move doesn’t seem to add up

Relative to last week’s news story “County plans to move the service center to Vashon town,� I must be missing something in the article. The county is going to spend $700,000 to save five years worth of rent which equals $142,560. It will take a long time at a reduced rent to recoup the additional $557,440. This seems like fiscal insanity. If the county needs the building to be ADA compliant, they should negotiate with the building’s owner. The county just told us they do not have any money to upgrade the juvenile corrections facility but they can waste money on a facility move? — Robert Kajca
Tolerance
Vashon didn’t display the acceptance we boast Having lived on Vashon now for 15 years, it has been my impression that debate and tolerance of viewpoints were a welcomed part of the community. On Friday, however, I was shocked by some islanders’ behavior. At the corner of the post office, members of a group were stationed to promote and
discuss their viewpoint. They were greeted in the five minutes I was there with “You should just leave the Island,� “You don’t belong here� and similar comments that were hurled from multiple people walking past as well as from drivers moving past. As I thought about this through the weekend, I asked myself, �Where has common civility gone?� Has the public forum
Maury Cats
to discuss and debate issues civilly disappeared? Is this tolerance? (I’ll tolerate as long as you don’t disagree with me.) Have our politics divided us that we cannot be neighborly? I have hope that this was an isolated incident, but it also has me concerned. — Wilson Hu

Q:
We care when you can’t
My husband told me not to write to you but I just have to say a few things. We appreciated your time last weekend showing us houses, but the homes here are just not up to the standards we expected. We are also looking on the Kitsap Peninsula and have seen several homes that are twice as nice as what you showed us. We were also a little taken aback by the way you and the other Islanders we saw were dressed. Casual is one thing but you were just not dressed for business and the community people we saw all looked like a bunch of hippies. I thought you’d appreciate the feedback.

Letters accepted must be no more than 150 words and include a daytime phone number. Deadline for this section is noon on Friday. Letters in this section will run as submitted except in the cases of libel or profanity.
A:
The fact is that our prices are now and always have been higher than most of the Kitsap. I send folks over there when their budget just won’t stretch far enough to buy here. I’m not proud that our prices are higher, it’s just a fact. We have some lovely homes for sale right now; they are just out of your price range.
Fiber Artists Rock The board, staff and residents of Vashon Community Care give a huge thanks to the 36 fiber artists who donated over 100 hand spun, dyed, knitted, woven, crocheted, felted, beaded, or quilted pieces to the August 11 Fiber Arts Trunk Show. 100% of the proceeds, approximately $5000, will support the services of Vashon Community Care. Special thanks to Judith Henderson who envisioned and organized the entire show. What a great demonstration of Vashon’s creativity and generosity.
As for my casual dress, I will agree that I am no “clothes horse.� In fact in these warmer summer days, most of us are in short sleeve shirts and light weight pants. If you expected all the realtors to be in branded blazers and high heels you are definitely on the wrong island. This is a casual place. People move here so that they don’t have to wear suits and ties, dresses and heels. In fact there are times of the year when I suspect that warm ups are almost a uniform here.
Lynn Davison, VCC Board President
Vashon Island is a place where “hippies� can be comfortable and we are accepting of differences. Many of these “hippies,� as you call them, have day jobs as lawyers, doctors, accountants, tech wizards, and famous artists. They live here so that they can be real and to be themselves.
Thank you for the sponsorship Thank you Scott and Tracy Bennedson for sponsoring me to attend the Potato Barn Wrestling camp in July, 2012. I won!!!
I’m sure you’ll be very happy in one of the cities on the peninsula. There are several nice places where everybody dresses appropriately, and they cut their grass weekly.

Dan Carlson and Sheri Reder were biking in the south of France in June when they found this 11-room hotel, left, in the city of St. Cere. Carlson said he saw many references to Maury, as well as a few to “Vachon.� Below, Jim and Calla Westcott were vacationing in The Hamptons earlier this month and spotted this sign for a beachside resort near Montauk, N.Y.

The trail will wend through the new “gateway� property, as the county is calling the 40-acre addition behind the Roseballen housing community. Once completed, it will connect Island Center Forest’s current warren of trails — nine miles, all told — to a new trailhead an easy walk from downtown Vashon.

And then, he would move and most often lazily come forward and greet people as they came into his store He was proud of his place in our community, certain that his people would come to see him. He made many friends. In the rolling continuum of life’s cycling his brief presence in our lives was a miraculous gift.

STOVES CONTINUED FROM 1
boil five liters of water in 25 minutes and keep it boiling for over an hour. Manufacturing costs will be minimal — about $25 per stove. Scott has drawn what he and others call a “stove army� — a crew of retired engineers, freshly minted designers, tinkerers and interns — to Burn Design Lab because of the enormity of the need and the power of his vision. The organization’s goal is to build three million stoves over the course of 10 years. If they’re successful, Burn Design Lab and its sister organization Burn Manufacturing Co. will help to address what many consider a global crisis. Every year, thousands of women and children are sickened from exposure to carbon monoxide from inefficient, charcoalburning stoves. What’s more, East Africa is facing an ecological crisis from all that charcoal: It takes seven tons of wood to make one ton of charcoal, leading to rampant deforestation and a lack of sustainability that will create more crises down the road. Now, with the prototype in hand, Scott and his crew are ready to begin manufacturing in small batches, taking the stoves to Kenya to see how they perform over time in the field. But already, those involved with Burn say, they know they’ve reached a major milestone. “It’s finally ready. It’s finally being received in the field to rave reviews,� said Boston Nyers, Burn’s director of operations who moved to Vashon from a graduate program at the University of Colorado a year ago to work with Scott.

Ward Serrill, an award-winning filmmaker, shoots as Peter Scott and intern Steven Diesburg examine The Tank, their new stove for East Africa. “It’s so exciting that all the work we’ve put in is coming to a climax. It’s just thrilling.� Scott and his wife, artist Olivia Pendergast, came to Vashon nearly two years, thinking, at the time, that the Island would be their home base as Scott continued to travel around the world, building artisan stoves in developing countries and acting as a consultant to some of the big stove-makers and various NGOs. But he also had a dream of building a lab that could design the best, most technologically appropriate stoves for a variety of countries and myriad cooking needs — a dream he began to share with a few people after he arrived on the Island. When he gave his first talk about his vision for a better world
through intelligent stove-design in November of 2010, he realized he had landed in the right place. The room at Courthouse Square was packed. Afterwards, dozens of Islanders, mostly engineers but also people with backgrounds in law, finance, business and manufacturing, told them they wanted to help. The project took off. And for the past 18 months, dozens of people have worked long hours, most of them for not a penny of pay, to help him bring his dream to fruition. Ted Clabaugh has offered hundreds of hours of pro-bono legal work, getting Burn Design Lab established as a nonprofit and Burn Manufacturing Co. established as the for-profit arm of the operation. Scott Durkee ran the
8FEOFTEBZ "VHVTU t 7BTIPO .BVSZ *TMBOE #FBDIDPNCFS
testing program for three months in his backyard — before they built their lab in the Sheffield Building. Keith Putnam has been part of the design team, helping to design a separate stove for Guatemala, an effort that included the 80-something-year-old architect taking a trip to the Central American nation. Lou Fezio and Michael Ligrano played key roles in engineering and design. John Olson donated $10,000, a cash infusion, Scott said, that came at a time “when we were totally broke.� Last week, several of the people involved with the effort gathered at a ribbon-burning (rather than a ribbon-cutting, Scott explained with a smile) to celebrate the completion of the small lab that has just been built — much of it with donated labor — next to their shop. The lab is named after Daniel Schumacher, a brilliant software engineer who was part of the original design team and who died last year from cancer. Scott thanked Islander after Islander for their help — then turned to Bob Powell, an MITeducated engineer who owns and operates a water-jet machine that can cut metal and who has created the parts for every single prototype the team of designers decided to create. “I’d not be standing here if it weren’t for Bob,� he told the group. “I’ll start crying if I keep talking about him.� It’s been a whirlwind, Scott said later, as he talked about the months that followed his talk at Courthouse Square. He and Pendergast had a daughter, born the week before officials from the Fortune 10 corporation decided to pay a visit to Burn Design Lab. Interns have come and gone, many housed in the backyard cottages and stu-
dios of various Islanders eager to offer a small way to help. A film crew — headed by Ward Serrill, who made “Heart of the Game� — has settled in to document the effort, a film that will be called “Catching Fire: Peter Scott’s Stove Army.� Clabaugh, who serves on the board of both the nonprofit design lab and for-profit manufacturing company, said he has donated countless hours because Scott and his vision are powerfully compelling. “Peter is so driven and so totally immersed in this project,� he said. “When you meet someone who is that driven, you just want to help any way you can.� Indeed, Scott, who’s yet to get paid for his work on Vashon and has personally bankrolled much of the effort, has garnered considerable attention for his years of work in the field of third-world stove development. He was among a handful of stove-makers profiled by The New Yorker magazine and was recently named one of the top global thinkers by Foreign Policy Magazine. Last week, sitting outside of his modest office at the Sheffield Building, he sounded both awed by the support he’s received on Vashon as well as heady about what lies ahead for his team of designers and engineers. Scott said he believes something of magnitude is taking hold on Vashon — the beginning of what could be a new K2, with hundreds of engineers working together to design and build stoves for developing countries around the world. The charcoal stove for East Africa, he said, is just the beginning. “Vashon was an Island waiting for me,� he said. “This wasn’t going to happen in West Seattle or Belltown.�

“
The river was magnificent that day, higher than I had ever seen it. The spray from the falls was visible before we even got close to the dam. It hung above the river like a diaphanous white veil against the winter blue sky. The green footbridge was dripping with condensation, and so were we by the time we crossed over it into Mary Ellen Kramer Park. The kids ran ahead, delighting in the river’s smoke and thunder, and in each other. My brother Paul and I hung back, debating the health risks of inhaling aerosolized Passaic. By the time we all met up at the final overlook everyone was grinning and yelling to be heard above the water’s roar. My brothers, nieces and nephews squeezed onto the small viewing ledge, just 20 short feet from the vertical torrent. I took a picture of them there, smiling in the sun and the cold, leaning against Ella’s despised iron fence. The surging wall of river was at their backs. Behold the mighty Passaic, I thought as I clicked the shutter. Remember it. — Mary Bruno, “An American River�
�
Finally, it’s a book about Bruno’s large, Irish-Catholic family and their relationship to the river. Her lovely, shy mother who warned her children to steer clear of it. Her hardworking father who paid it scant attention. Her brothers, sister and passel of cousins who played in a football field perched above it, never daring to touch the river’s murky blackness. Bruno, 60, a former editor at Grist.org, an irreverent environmental news organization, possesses a delightfully dark wit, and in a recent interview on the deck behind her home, she joked that the book has “a little something for everyone.� Enjoy memoirs? Interested in nature? Fascinated by history? This book has something for you. But she’s self-deprecating. Bruno is a gifted writer with a warm and intelligent voice, and what she’s produced is both artful and insightful — a tapestry that weaves together natural history, political history, science and scenes from her childhood into a book that has depth and heft. Perhaps most importantly, she
brings the river to life. And she does so in a multi-dimensional way. Hers is not a strident, environmental treatise but a nuanced look at the tragedy of the commons. The Passaic, like rivers around the world, was its region’s lifeblood, gracing the area with beauty, providing a means of transportation and industry, drawing thousands of people to its shores — until the scales tipped and the river began to die. By the time Bruno was born, she noted, it was “a toxic canal.� New Jerseyans, however, did not set out to destroy the Passaic. Her book illustrates the unconscious ways Americans have ignored their natural resources and the enormous toll that lack of consciousness ultimately exacts. And yet, even at that, there’s a feeling of optimism in this book, in large part because of the beauty and resiliency Bruno discovers in this river. And the book is much about discovery. Indeed, she said during our chat on her deck, the biggest surprise for her was how little she knew the place. “I’d never been
to Great Falls,� she said, referring to river’s dramatic, 77-foot waterfall. “And yet it was 20 minutes from where I grew up. It’s kind of pathetic. But that kind of thing’s not uncommon in New Jersey.� When she first started her research, she thought, in good New Jersey fashion, that what the river needed was a don — a river czar who could strong-arm the river back to life. “But I realized, when I started to write, that it’s not one person who can make a difference. It’s got to come from us.� Every river has a story, and if we knew each story, if we took the time to really see and know a place, we just might treat it differently. Her book tells the story of one river from beginning to end — its power and beauty, its tragedy and promise. The Passaic River has found a champion in Bruno. She can shed her guilt.
Mary Bruno will read from her book, “An American River,� at 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 17, at the Vashon Bookshop.

Greg Gildea, 16, hold the second-place trophy he won at the state golf tournament.
Golfer snatches second at State
Islander Greg Gildea recently placed second in the state in his age division in the Washington Junior Golf Association (WJGA) state tournament. With scores of 73, 76 and 79, Gildea also tied for 11th overall in the high school boys division. This year’s tournament was hosted by the Meridian Valley Golf and Country Club in Kent and the Fairwood Golf and Country Club in Renton. WJGA is a statewide program that includes several hundred boys and girls in six districts throughout the state. Gildea previously won his district championship by nine strokes, shooting 71 and 69 at the twoday tournament, for a four under par total. “I felt pretty good,� Gildea said of winning Districts. “I was confident with my game, and I was excited to go on to State.� Gildea has had a successful summer in competitive golfing. In July he competed in the Pacific Northwest Golf Association’s Men’s Amateur event in Walla Walla. The event draws the top college players from the
Northwest as well as several junior golfers. With a field of 164 in stroke play, Gildea shot even par for the two days to tie for 18th and easily make the cut of the top 64 for match play. He won his first match against a college senior from Canada and was the only junior to make it to the round of 32 players. He then lost a heartbreaking match after 22 holes against Mason Casper, a college senior from Utah who is the grandson of legendary golfer Billy Casper. “I was in the final 32. That was pretty big in the Northwest, so that was good,� Gildea said. Gildea has golfed for a half-dozen years and plays with a team at Bellarmine Preparatory School in Tacoma, where he will be a junior. He said he hopes to continue golfing in college. “I like that ... its not a team sport,� he said. “I like to be rely on my own ability rather than other people’s, and I love that it’s outside.�
Islander Abigail Kim, a young track and field athlete who has wowed crowds at local and regional track meets, stood out this month on the national track scene at the Junior Olympic Games. Abigail, 14, placed in the top 10 in two of the three events she entered at the annual event and outshone athletes with years more of elite coaching. Abigail’s father, Jin Kim, said there were around 10,000 young athletes at the Junior Olympics, which took place in Houston earlier this month. Abigail competed in three events — the 100-meter dash, 200meter dash and the long jump — against about 80 other 14-year-old girls each. “I’m sure it must have been intimidating to step into that kind of arena and not know how you stack up against kids from the whole country,� Jin said. “I think she didn’t let it phase her and really stepped up to the challenge.� Todd Pearson, a volunteer track coach at McMurray Middle School who recently encouraged Abigail to seek a higher level of coaching, called her performance at the Junior Olympics amazing. In the long jump event, Abigail placed seventh and earned a medal with a jump of 17 feet, 6 inches, a distance that was also a new personal record. Abigail had a couple of longer jumps at the competition, but unfortunately scratched them. Had she not scratched the longer jumps, Pearson said, she could have easily taken second place. Abigail set another personal record and nearly medaled again in the 100-meter dash, which she completed in 12.61 sec-
onds, despite running into a headwind. She placed 10th in the race, and missed moving on to the final round by just threehundredths of a second. Jin said Abigail was happy with the race and pleased to have improved her pace, but was frustrated to miss the finals and a medal by so little. “At the same time, she kicked herself,� he said. “She could have made it to the finals.� Finally, Aibgail placed 26th in the 200meter dash, which she finished in 26.22 seconds, missing qualification for the semifinal round by one-tenth of a second. “She ran quite well and had a very good time,� Pearson said. “But she didn’t make it through in the end.� Abigail — who coaches say works hard and has a natural talent for running — began training about a month ago with the Seattle Speed Track Club. Pearson said some athletes who have been with the club for years and have attended the Junior Olympics several times have never medaled at the event, making Abigail’s first performance there even more impressive. “I have never heard of someone so talented excelling right from the very start against national-caliber competition,� Pearson said. Now that Abigail has gotten a taste of national competition, Jin said, she plans to keep training with the club and hopes to go back to the Junior Olympics next year. But Abigail, who will be a freshman in high school next year, also loves soccer, Jin said, and is currently competing with her Renton-based premier soccer team at a tournament in California. “For the time being, she’s still going to try to do soccer and track,� Jin said. “She’s always enjoyed all sports. I think she’d play sports every day if we let her.�

limiting the extent of the project and repaving stretches that Island cyclists convinced him and his engineers were problematic. Specifically, according to Taniguchi and Paulette Norman, the county’s road engineer, the county will remove nearly a mile of shoulder rumble strips and not install another mile crews had planned, reducing the extent of the shoulder rumble strips along the highway from 9 miles to 7.2 miles. Because of concerns that cars won’t cross rumble strips to make way for cyclists, the strips won’t be installed on the narrowest stretches of Vashon Highway — all told, about a half-mile of roadway where the lanes are narrower than 14 feet from centerline to the edge of the pavement. Miles of what’s called thermoplastic markings will be installed at 200 feet intervals, making the strips far more visible. And 12 warning signs, letting cyclists know that rumble strips are ahead, will be installed, Taniguchi said. “Considering where we were when we had the open house on Vashon,â€? he said, referring to a May gathering where many Islanders expressed concerns about the project, “I think we’ve come a long way.

the county-wide project after submitting a request highlighting the dangers of some of its rural roads, including Vashon Highway. But cyclists say the milling project has ruined miles of good bike lanes on Vashon and made cycling less safe. It comes at a time, they note, when many planners and policymakers are pushing to make communities more bike-friendly, not less, and when schools and parents are trying to get young people to hop on bikes. The county’s approach, some have said, suggests it’s taking a car-centric view of the roads, not one that recognizes the importance of sharing the road with cyclists. Taniguchi said he knows that Baer and Abel weren’t happy with the extent of the county’s revisions. But both he and Norman said they believe they’ve developed a working relationship with Vashon cyclists as a result of the project and they hope to continue the conversations. “We’re definitely mindful that the position they had was to cease and desist,� Taniguchi said. “But we’re coming back with a balanced approach.� But Abel said it’ll be a bitter moment if and when the machinery returns. “I’ll be disappointed if they grind more rumble strips,� he said. County officials plan to discuss the new scope of the rumble strip project at the Vashon-Maury Island Community Council meeting at 7 p.m. Monday at McMurray Middle School.

We lost our beautiful dark brown male Burmese cat two months ago. He is 7 years old. He lived on the North End and we hope he has found a loving home. If you find him, we ask that you bring him up to Fair Isle immediately if he is in bad shape. He is also due for his rabis shot and annual check up. He is micro chipped so he will be identified and we will take care of the bill for his care. We think he would be happiest being the only cat. He always fought with his sister and we believe he gave up and ran away. He prefers the company of adults, and only able to live with dogs who do not chase their feline friends. He is an independent, playful guy. His name is Abbondonza, but will not come when his name is called. If you see him you can open the back door of your car and holler “treats!� He likes the chicken jerky kind of kitty treat if you want to make him happy. If you are able to catch him please bring him to Fair Isle and have them bring a carrier out to the car, cause he is a quick escapee. We wish the best for our dear friend.

the right time. The term bioluminescence actually refers to any living organism that has the ability to create a fleeting light. Here in the Northwest, bioluminescence — sometimes appearing as small sparks of light and other times like a glow in the water — is created by dinoflagellates, singlecelled animal plankton that only live in certain waters during certain times of the year. “It’s like looking at the stars, but in the water,� said Kathyrn True, a local naturalist who has also seen bioluminescence. She said the phenomenon was especially impressive when she saw it during a late-night kayaking trip. “The paddle would stir up what looked like melted, glowing droplets, and you saw the fish darting around underneath you,� she said. “It was super pretty.� Bob Fuerstenberg, a retired aquatic ecologist who lives on Vashon, said conditions are best for bioluminescence during warm spells in the Puget Sound, when smaller plant plankton that the dinoflagellates feed on grow in large numbers. On hot days plankton can often be found in abundance in protected bays and inlets such as Quartermaster Harbor and Tramp Harbor. “You get some pretty big blooms out there when there’s lots of light and the temperature is high,� he said. Karlista Rickerson, a local scuba diver who also collects water samples for Public Health — Seattle & King County, noted that the most common bioluminescent plankton in Puget Sound is noctiluca, a dinoflagellate that also turns seawater a murky red. In Latin, she said, noctiluca literally means “night light.� Noctiluca and other plankton are annoying to divers in the summer,
Rickerson said, destroying visibility in the water. But once during a nighttime dive with her son, she said, she discovered that the noctiluca, which many confuse for toxic red tide, took on a whole new life at night. “I watched my son fall backwards into the water, and his whole body was outlined in diamonds,� she said. “That’s one of the hooks of scuba diving.� Some beach-goers know to look for bioluminescence when there’s little or no moonlight. This is not only because the sea sparkle is easier to spot in the dark, Fuerstenberg said, but because the tiny creatures are actually capable of moving in the water and will rise higher when it’s

darker out. “Under no moon, they sit closer to the surface and you can get a better look at them,� he said. Bioluminescent plankton live in oceans around the world. However the reason for their glow is somewhat mysterious even to scientists. Several University of Washington marine biologists reached by The Beachcomber admitted they knew very little about bioluminescence, and even Jeff Adams, a marine water quality specialist with Washington Sea Grant and a local beach naturalist, had to delve into his research library for a refresher on sea sparkle. It turns out that scientists believe bioluminescence in plankton serves as a defense mechanism, startling or confusing predators that feed on it, Adams said. One paper, he added, called the light a “burglar alarm� that is set off by any physical contact or a rush of water.

“If the contact or flow were created by something that wanted to eat them, then the light may cause enough distraction to prevent becoming dinner,â€? he said. Fuerstenberg agreed, comparing it to a smoke screen to distract or blind small fish that eat plankton. “It’s like shining a flashlight in someone’s eyes at night,â€? he said. Fuerstenberg, who grew up in Minnesota, compared the glowing plankton to the fireflies that live in other parts of the country. When he moved to the Northwest decades ago, he said, he was disappointed to leave behind the glowing bugs of his youth. But he was truly amazed when, as a student studying marine biology, he came across light green bioluminescence for the first time in the waves off the Oregon coast. “Seeing it for the first time was just astonishing. I had read about it, ‌ but there’s nothing like seeing it for the first time,â€? he said. As it turns out, plankton and fireflies — both considered bioluminescent creatures — emit light through a very similar chemical reaction, Fuerstenberg said. And just as some gather fireflies in jars, creating ad hoc lanterns, Fuerstenberg, as a student, gathered plankton in a bottle at night and shook it to engage the glow. “It was almost like having a fluorescent lightbulb,â€? he said with a chuckle. “It was enough light to read notes by.â€? Since then, Fuerstenberg said, he has learned there are actually many animals capable of bioluminescence — not to be confused with phosphorescence or fluorescence, he noted, which occur when minerals glow in the dark after being exposed to light. Though plankton are the most common ocean glowers in the deep sea, and even in the depths of Puget Sound, jellyfish, squid, worms and many other marine invertebrates

bioluminesce. “There’s a lot of light down there in what’s supposed to be a dark place,� Fuerstenberg said. But while the depths of the ocean may be teeming with light, bioluminescence on Puget Sound’s shores have a special place of wonder and even amazement for those on the water or shoreline at night. Fuerstenberg said some scientists and scuba divers venture hundreds of feet below the surface to see bioluminescence, while on Vashon, some need only venture outside their back door. “It’s a big deal to them,� he said, “and here it is right off KVI Beach.�

August 18th, 12-3 pm.
Paul D. Aspiri JUNE 6th, 1959 – AUGUST 6th, 2012
Paul was the first of six children born to Edith and Ray Aspiri. He was raised on Vashon Island. As a youngster Paul loved playing tricks on his siblings and neighbors. He was active in Cub Scouts and Key Club. Paul loved to boat, fish, camp, hike, read and play baseball. He was married to Pamn Salyer and they had two children, Briana and Ryan. He lost his daughter in a tragic horse accident in 2005. Paul worked as a grocery store manager at Vashon Thriftway for many years and was Manager of the Year for the entire Northwest region more than once. Paul had a very strong work ethic and inspired others. He moved to the East Coast in 2003 and managed grocery stores for Magruders over the past nine years. His vacation time was always spent with family here in the Seattle area and in Jamaica with his sister. Paul always put his family first, often at a minute’s notice he would announce “gotta go!� We were blessed that his employers honored this. Paul was planning on moving to Florance, OR to be closer to his family. Paul is survived by his son Ryan and son-in law Max Chwaszczewski, his parents, Edith and Ray Aspiri, his siblings, Gary (Mitzi), Tressa, Karen (Randy), Mark (Jennifer), John (Debbie). He is also survived by the mother of his children, Pamn Aspiri, his nieces and nephews, Jasmine, Jarem, Kramer, Spencer, Madison, Tylor, Austyn, Justin, Wyatt, Carmen and Kathleen, his dear friends Patricia and Skyler Lawson along with many life-long friends from his childhood. Remember Paul’s love, laughter and thoughtful ways he shared with us. Please visit the Island Funeral service web site, www.islandfuneral.com for more information. A celebration of Paul’s life will be held on August 25th, at the Vashon Sportsman Club, 19720 Singer Rd SW, Vashon WA 98070. Service 11:00 a.m. Reception 12:00 to 3:00p.m. Interment at Vashon Cemetery 3:30p.m. In lieu of flowers please make contribution to The Vashon High School Scholarship foundation; In memory of Paul Aspiri ‘Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path And leave a trail’.

Don’t worry...We’ll be up late, too.
Jackson is a two year old boy
who is looking for a new family. He loves to cuddle and find small spaces to curl up. He is all black and has a tiny white tip on his tail and has a lovely personality. He has been raised around children, cats and dogs and would make a great family pet. Jackson came to VIPP on 7/28/12.
Born about 2008, Opal was found on the north end and brought to VIPP. She has not been claimed by her person and now she is searching for her new home. Opal is a gem of a cat. She is self possessed and she gets along with the other cats. She charms all the humans at the shelter. Opal will melt you with her beautiful baby blue eyes. Opal came to VIPP on 7/3/12.
Chopper is a handsome four year old rat
terrier mix who is energetic, curious, and loving. He is great with kids and good with other dogs when he gets to know them. We do not know how he is with cats. He is great in the car and always ready to go! Chopper needs a home where he will get lots of love and exercise. He needs a fenced yard or leash walks. Contact VIPP at dogs@vipp.orgor call 206-707-2355. $125 adoption fee.
