The district’s fundraising goal for the event, $10,000, seems small in light of the approximately $300,000 needed to finish the fields complex by The Harbor School. But every bit matters, and the district considers the event a kick-off to introduce the partially finished fields to the community and reinvigorate fundraising, said Jan Milligan, the park district’s executive director before her termination was announced Monday. “All summer we’ve been looking at late summer as the start-up of a community campaign again,” she said. “We’re hoping that the community rallies around the project this fall, for the next two to three months, and we can continue some work up there.” The Friday event — booked as a dance party replete with

The Vashon Pool has been a busy place this summer, and especially this month. A recent spate of hot weather brought swimmers to the park district-owned pool by the hundreds, setting record-breaking days for pool revenue. The pool has already brought in more than it did last summer, said Scott Bonney, the pool’s manager. However, Bonney doesn’t attribute the pool’s success entirely to the sunny weather. In spring, the park district put out a call for Island support of the cash-strapped pool and got a huge response in the form of advance sales of discount passes, lessons and pool rentals, Bonney said. The park district is tentatively planning to keep the pool open until Sept. 23 this year. “I think the community has really responded amazingly to the pool by supporting it, and we are continuing to see good numbers,” he said. Pictured above, clockwise from top left, are Hannah Pickett, Sue Bell, lifeguard Lizzy Schoen, Mitchell Boles and lifeguard Tazi Flory. “It’s the best job in the world,” Schoen said of her stint at the pool this summer.
Church of Great Rain considers its future After a few intense years, members say ihey need a break By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
Church of Great Rain, Vashon’s homegrown variety show, started off four years ago as a modest and almost off-the-cuff affair, playing to small, diehard crowds at the Red Bicycle Bistro. “We’d have a script in one hand, a beer in the other,” joked Jeanne
Dougherty, one of the group’s actors. Full of Vashon humor and Island talent, the show grew in popularity — ultimately moving to the cavernous Open Space for Arts & Community, where it routinely filled all 600 seats, making it the biggest event of the Island. It also grew in complexity, becoming a much more polished and seamless series of skits, musical performances and monologues. Now, those involved in the popular show — Vashon’s edgy version of Prairie Home Companion — say they’re taking a hiatus and won’t
launch a fifth season with their usual September premier. With their growing popularity has come a growing workload, several members of the company said, a workload that has proven tough for the all-volunteer crew, which would finish a show on Sunday night and begin discussing the next one three days later. According to a statement issued by the Church’s publicist Richard Rogers but crafted by many of the company’s members, “Each performance of Church of Great Rain SEE CHURCH, 10
A Seattle developer with ties to the Island plans to purchase Vashon Village and build a 16-room hotel or another kind of accommodation in the grassy field behind the commercial park. Scott Shapiro, managing director of Eagle Rock Ventures, a Seattle real estate and development firm, has signed a purchase-andsale agreement to buy the 4.5-acre site from Dan McClary. The deal is expected to close in November or December, McClary said. Shapiro, in an interview last week, said he plans to build a 16-room hotel that could accommodate up to 48 people behind Vashon Village, a cluster of small, colorfully painted buildings across the street from the Vashon Library. “We’re just in the process of working out the plans and permits,” he said. “We don’t have anything to share right now, but we will this fall as plans continue to solidify.” In a preliminary meeting with King County planning officials in May, however, Shapiro described eight freestanding buildings and two additional buildings that could serve as a small conference center. According to tenants at Vashon Village, he and his wife have said they plan to build what they’re calling a small retreat center. Asked if he plans to build a retreat center, Shapiro said: “There would definitely be people having retreats out there. … They could use it for their birthday, a wedding, a family reunion or a getaway weekend.” “I really think there’s a need for a great lodging establishment that SEE DEVELOPMENT, 15

Members of Vashon’s Community Emergency Response Team are trained in a variety of emergency response skills, and now their efforts will be enhanced by some of the Island’s equestrians and their horses. It’s an idea that makes a lot of sense, according to Island horse trainer Beth Kellner, who organized the program. Horses can provide several benefits during a disaster — navigating areas not accessible to cars, providing speed not available to those on foot and assisting with transport of supplies to emergency workers. All of the riders involved are longtime CERT members, Kellner said, and they
recently retook the 40-hour CERT class to refresh their skills. The idea to get horses involved, brewing since CERT first began on Vashon some nine years ago, came to the fore during the class. “We came away thinking, ‘Horses can help. How could they be part of the solution?’� she said. With that, Kellner began work on the project in earnest, creating guidelines for who can participate, defining why such a service would be useful and making a list of the supplies horse and rider teams need as part of their CERT “Go-Kits� used during emergencies. In July, Kellner and her fellow equestrian CERT members participated on horseback in a CERTsponsored search and rescue

drill at Island Center Forest. They impressed Michael Cochrane, who manages the CERT program with his wife Catherine. “They did an outstanding job,� he said. Kellner agreed the drill was a success and that the horses enjoyed it too. “We could tell when we were on them that the horses were so into the drill,� she said. “Horses love having a job.� In the coming months, Kellner expects the horses and riders will practice twice a month to be effective and safe in their work. To become a strong team, she said, “The people have to practice together, and the horses have to practice together.� Cochrane said King County’s Office of Emergency Management must recognize the standards Kellner wrote; he expects it will. “This is a wonderful addition to the search and rescue program,� he said. “It’s quite an effort.�

)VOU BU *TMBOE $FOUFS 'PSFTU QMBOOFE GPS UIJT GBMM Season would last 19 days in October By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
After holding a controversial, 17-day hunting season at Island Center Forest last year, King County, calling the season a success, plans to continue short hunting seasons at the county-owned forest on a trial basis. A comment period on the proposal will run until Aug. 29. This year’s season would take place for 19 days, from Oct. 13 to 31, during which time the popular forest would be closed to all other uses. The county has also proposed continuing trial hunting seasons for up to four more years after that. David Kimmett, a natural lands manager for the county’s Department of Natural Resources and Parks, said the county will continue to monitor how many people hunt at the forest, where they are from and how many deer are taken, as well as gather feedback from hunters and the public, before making the hunt an annually sanctioned event. “We decided we want to continue to treat it as a pilot project and learn from it before we make any final, long-term decisions,� Kimmett said. He said last October’s hunting season went well — more than 60 hunters voluntarily registered at the forest and most seemed cooperative and well-informed. At least eight deer were killed, and there were no accidents or major complaints. Even non-hunters who came to use the
forest, he said, didn’t complain about being turned away. “We feel like that’s encouraging,� he said. “We think it was a success.� Doug Williams, a spokesman for the county’s department of Natural Resources and Parks, said the county will take feedback on its plan to continue the hunting, but based on last season’s success county officials feel confident in the proposal. “Nothing would preclude us from cancelling the hunt for some reason after the public comment period,� he said. The county proposed the abbreviated hunt at Island Center Forest in 2010 after some Islanders raised concerns about hunting at the woods, which has a warren of trails used by walkers, runners and equestrians that borders numerous homes. The complaints, as well as questions about the legality of hunting there, caused the county to temporarily halt hunting altogether. At a public meeting before last year’s hunt, Islanders were split on the decision. Some said hunting at Island Center Forest was unsafe and it would be unfair to close the area to other users, while others argued the forest is one of the only places to hunt on Vashon and has been used for decades to bag deer. After the hunt, Kimmett said, the county got little negative feedback. In fact, he said, the only complaint was that some hunters left deer carcasses near trails rather than burying them in the woods. “We’ll ask hunters to be a little more mindful,� he said.
Neighbors, however, remain mixed about the decision to continue the hunt. Lisa Peyer, who lives on the forest’s border, said she and some of her neighbors wish hunting were banned there altogether. Last October, she said, she heard gunshots that seemed too close to her home. “Bullets can go through the trail to my house,� she said. Lisa Coley, whose home is also by the forest, said she, too, is concerned about hunters wandering too close to her house — especially since most of the people who hunted last fall were from off-Island and likely not familiar with the trails. According to the county’s registration, just six people who hunted at the forest last fall were Vashon residents. “Our house is brown. It blends in,� Coley said. Still, she said, she’s happy that the county condensed hunting to just a few weeks. In past years, hunting was allowed in the forest for four months, and she said it was hard for pedestrians to tell whether it was safe to go in. “Three weeks out of a year, it didn’t bother us,� she said.
The public can comment until Aug. 29 on the proposal to extend the shortened hunt for up to five more years. Comments can be emailed to parksadmin@kingcounty.gov or mailed to Kevin Brown, King County Parks, 201 S. Jackson St., Suite 700, Seattle, WA 98014.
Park district director let go Monday By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
Jan Milligan, who was hired a year ago to helm the financially struggling Vashon Park District, was terminated on Monday. The Beachcomber learned late Monday about the turn of events. Bill Ameling, who chairs the board of directors, said Monday night that the decision was made during an executive session of the board last week. Milligan was told Monday morning of the board’s decision. Susan McCabe, the park district’s program director, has been asked to step in as the agency’s interim executive director. The staff was to learn of the decision at a meeting Tuesday morning. Ameling declined to say what precipitated the fivemember board’s decision, which he called a “consensus.� “You don’t exactly vote. You just air your opinions,� he said. “There were five people, with five different feelings.� Asked to state his own stance on Milligan and her role over the past year, Ameling said, “I don’t wish to share, because it’s a personal thing.� LuAnn Branch, another
commissioner reached late Monday, declined to comment, noting that the board decided only Ameling could speak to the press about the decision. The other three commissioners — David Hackett, Michael DeBlasi and Joe Wald — did not return telephone calls. McCabe said she didn’t relish the position but would do her best to fulfill the demands of the job. “I care about the park district. I care about the staff. And I care about the services we offer the community,� she said. “So I’ll do what I’m capable of doing until they can find someone capable of the job.� Ameling said the board hopes to have a new director in place by Nov. 1. Milligan, he said, will be paid until the end of this month. He said he didn’t believe the decision will affect the agency’s big fundraising event for the Vashon Fields, scheduled for Friday night. “This fundraising is for people who’d like to see us work on that field. There are no personalities involved,� he said. Milligan, 58, the former director of Camp Sealth, could not be reached for comment Monday.

Money meant to be set aside for maintenance of the historic buildings at Point Robinson has gotten swallowed up by the Vashon Park District’s other needs, according to Capt. Joe Wubbold, who heads a friends group that oversees the property. Wubbold, at a park district commissioners’ meeting last week, expressed frustration that the money he says should be available for upkeep is not there. Money from the rental of the keepers quarters goes into the Point Robinson maintenance fund, he said, a separate line item in the budget. Wubbold was able to secure a commitment from commissioners to cover the costs of painting the roof of the lighthouse. Other needs will have to be put off for a year, even though the money should be there this year, he said. Wubbold, who attends nearly every park district meeting, said he plans to ensure the funds are available next year to complete other needed work. But the fact that the Point Robinson funds have been “absorbed into the great unwashed mass known as the general fund ... bothers the hell out of me,� he said. The commissioners and park district Executive Director Jan Milligan voiced
contradictory responses to Wubbold’s concerns. Milligan, who was at the meeting when commissioners said the funds weren’t available this year, said Wubbold was wrong in his characterization. All the funds are there and available, she told The Beachcomber before Monday’s announcement that she had been let go. “The commissioners didn’t want to wipe it all out at one time,� she said. But Chair Bill Ameling said at the meeting, in response to Wubbold’s request: “This is our tough year. Next year it will be there.� David Hackett also offered a different perspective, noting that — just as Congress borrows against Social Security — the district has had to use those funds for other needs this year. The account will be replenished next year, he said. “We’re trying to make it through a lean year,� Hackett said, adding, “We need to make sure we have enough money to cover our cash obligations out through the end of December.� Michael DeBlasi, a commissioner and the board’s treasurer, did not return a call.

Joe Wubbold, who helps to oversee the historic property. Wubbold noticed they were missing on Thursday. He had last seen them the week before. He reported the incident to the police. Wubbold said the foghorns, installed two years ago in honor of Royal English, an Islander who died a few years ago, were blown at significant events, including Kite Day. They were not used for navigation. The two horns weighed about 60 pounds apiece. Wubbold believes they were stolen for their value as scrap metal. “I feel terrible,� he said, noting the horns are irreplaceable.

A new service organization with the mission of supporting Island nonprofits is taking root on Vashon and is focusing its first efforts on The DoVE Project, which works to end domestic violence and assist those affected by it. The organization, called WATER — short for the Women’s Alliance to Enhance the Rock — is open to women and girls 16 and older and is an alliance in which women can use their personal and professional fields of expertise for the benefit of the community, according to organizer Pam Robbins. In October, WATER will sponsor an origami dove-making event as part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and in March members will host a dance marathon as a fundraiser for DoVE. Robbins, an executive coach and consultant to nonprofits, first had the idea for a women’s service organization when she moved to Vashon part time from Seattle last September. She called the first meeting in February with the intent of forming a group that would help sustain the work of Island organizations. Now, 12 to 15 women attend each monthly meeting, Robbins said, and the group has 10 dues-paying members and is looking to expand to three or four times its current size. “We really, really want to grow, and truthfully we need to grow to do the work we want to be doing,� Robbins said. Each year, she said, the group will choose a nonprofit to support, while ideally still offering some assistance to the previous groups it has worked with. “Every year we’re going to look at the skills of the members and the needs of the
VASHON
community and determine what is the best match,� she said. Jill Johnson, DoVE’s new director of client services, said the organization is happy to have been selected by WATER. “It’s very welcome,� she said. “We’re on an ongoing push to get more visibility in the community. Having the support of WATER is instrumental in that.� Robbins noted there is a lot of interest in this new organization, but that many women’s volunteer hours are already spoken for. “One of the things I’m discovering is that a lot of people have really big hearts,� she said. “Lots of folks have really full plates and do not have the time.� Now, she said, she will focus her outreach efforts to newer residents who are looking to benefit their new community and create community of their own. Soon, she added, she will talk with real estate agents and give them WATER’s new brochure to pass on to Island newcomers. Dues are intended to be affordable, she said; the suggested donation is $30 per year, but no one will be turned away who cannot pay. And all women are welcome — professional women with a distinct field of expertise, those who stay home with their families and those who are retired or cannot work. “No matter what their kind of skill sets,� she said, “we will get them to be able to serve.� WATER typically meets the first Monday of the month from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Courthouse Square. Its next meeting is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10, at the fire station on Bank Road. For more information, see www.vmiwater.org.

Rumble strips: The wrong answer for Vashon
Whither our (faux) church?
One of the things I love about Vashon Island is the easygoing sense of acceptance, or at least tolerance, and the way drivers slow down and give a wide berth to cyclists, dogs and runners. Have you come to expect the freedom to go about your business, relaxed and joyfully pursuing your own unique vision for yourself and the community where you live? Well, so had cyclists, but that has been taken away by the installation of rumble strips, those long stretches of grooved pavement that now mar our shoulders and the center line. We cyclists applaud the state for Target Zero, an effort to reduce highway fatalities and serious injuries to zero by 2030. We also applaud the county for taking action. But rumble strips are the wrong solution. Since last April, when a few brave souls threatened to lie down in front of the milling machine, the King County Department of Transportation has taken the time to develop its own new guidelines for rumble strips. The problem is this plan goes against policies and guidelines developed by federal and state agencies as well as the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. Based on the research we’ve done, rumble strips on Vashon simply cannot offer the benefit for motorists that they do on freeways. It’s comparing apples to oranges. If automobile safety is a concern, there are other, more effective options that do not present dangers to nonmotorized road users. Rumble strips create hazardous conditions for the cyclist. This
News that the Church of Great Rain may remake itself — or even go away altogether — is sobering for those of us who have come to love this sardonic, off-kilter, homegrown variety show. It’s understandable that people working hard and for no pay would experience some degree of burn-out. It’s also understandable that all those creative souls, mixed up together in a highstress situation month after month, would have disagreements. That said, we hope they can work out their differences, find a sustainable model and return to the stage sometime during the 2012-13 season. Church, as the group likes to call itself, offers something lovely on an island that takes itself far too seriously. It holds up a mirror, points out our foibles and gets us to laugh at ourselves. The Beachcomber has been an occasional target, as have many other fine Vashon institutions, from the community council to the Vashon Community Scholarship Foundation to Vashon Allied Arts. But the jabs are gentle. What’s more, they’re often dead-on. Who can’t laugh at their parodies of our earth-loving, healthobsessed, anti-bridge, art-crazed, septic-challenged take on life? So those of you have poured countless hours into bringing Church to the stage, we urge you to do what you must to recharge your batteries and reclaim your spiritual bearings. Breathe in the clean Island air. Ride a ferry. Kill some garden slugs. Kick back with a Fupp’s. And come back renewed, refreshed and equipped with a model that you find sustainable. We need to laugh at ourselves on Vashon. And the church you’ve created — with Rev. Hunter Davis’ impromptu homilies, the talented Church House band and your actors’ irreverent take on Vashon life — has shown us the way. Please, don’t let your flock down. We’d be lost without you.
Back to school: It’s that time The tomatoes are ripening. The days are getting noticeably shorter. And parents (as well as some students) are getting ready for that fall ritual, when school starts up again. A special insert in today’s Beachcomber will help parents in their back-to-school preparations. The annual supplement, again sponsored by John L. Scott, gives the principals of the three public schools an opportunity to brag a bit about the institutions they oversee. It offers a look at our private schools, our many after-school programs, groups that support our children’s academic lives and a calendar that just might claim a spot on your fridge. Vashon is lucky to have such fine schools, good educators and committed volunteers. So take a moment to see what the administrators, educators and volunteers are again offering up this year. And get ready for that annual rite of autumn, as certain as the turning of the leaves.
ISLAND LIFE By TIM BAER may seem like a trivial issue, until you are one of the runners, disabled persons, tricycle-riders, trailer-pullers or just plain walkers making your way along the shoulder. Then rumble strips become another hazard to navigate. If you’re riding a road bike, which usually has thin, high-pressure tires, they are bone-jarring and hand- and mind-numbing and can throw you into the traffic. This is not speculation: Besides the many close calls, there have been at least two serious crashes leading to stitches and broken bones caused by this ill-considered decision to install rumble strips. They also make Vashon less desirable to cyclists in from other parts of the region, hurting our economy; they discourage nonserious cyclists from hopping on their bike, a form of exercise known to combat obesity; and they make riding trickier for children — at a time when many parents, school officials and others are trying to encourage more active lifestyles. Members of Vashon’s biking community have made the case that rumble strips don’t make sense. We care deeply about the safety of all road users but especially cyclists, as we are some of

Water safety
-JGF KBDLFUT BSF FTTFOUJBM I enjoyed the article on stand-up paddleboards. (“A new sport begins to take hold on Vashon,� July 25.) Unfortunately it reminded me of the U.S. Coast Guard Recreational Boating Statistics report that 2011 had the highest number of boating fatalities since 1998. Seventy percent of fatal boating accident victims drowned, and of those, 84 percent were not wearing a lifejacket. While the percentage of fatalities for open motorboats and personal watercraft has gone down, that for paddle craft has gone up. In Washington, recreational boating accident fatalities
were more likely to be male, 40 or older, not wearing a lifejacket and using a sail or paddle boat. In Puget Sound, where waters rarely reach 60 degrees, most boaters know about hypothermia. Fewer know of the cold water immersion gasping reflex. Falls overboard typically force the head and chest under water. This sudden exposure to cold water triggers gasping followed by difficult-to-control hyperventilation. Without a lifejacket, this can occur under the surface, drawing cold water into the lungs. There are numerous cases of boaters without lifejackets going into cold water within sight of others. Witnesses later report the victim briefly struggled before going

the most vulnerable. We have clearly stated our desires, needs and goals. We have reached out to many other road-users (and believe it or not, cyclists also drive automobiles!). The Vashon-Maury Island Community Council passed a resolution calling for an end to rumble strips and for implementation of a bike-friendly plan. The King County strategic plan supports this. (“Enhance bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure as alternative transportation options.�) But old ways die hard. Bike Vashon wants desperately to work together not only with our elected officials, but with the actual engineers doing the work, to arrive at outcomes that work for everyone. Maybe a bike ride some sunny afternoon is a good place to start. That’s community involvement, which the county has stated as one of its core goals. The county’s statement — which amounts to “thank you for your input; here’s how we’re going to finish doing what we started� — does not fulfill that promise. Bike Vashon will continue to engage with the Vashon community, lawmakers and county administrators, among others, as they pursue the vision of a bike-friendly Island. Theirs is a vision of a healthy, vibrant community, where public spaces, including roadways, are owned by the people, and not the cars. If this speaks to you in any way, check out www.BikeVashon.org, and join us in affirming our tax-paying rights to civic engagement, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

under or just disappeared. Some paddlers state they do not need a lifejacket as they can hold onto their vessel. Wind can move a boat faster than you may be able to swim to it, though. In cold water, the more you move the faster you cool. As you lose heat, numbness prevents swimming, getting onto a boat unassisted or holding onto a floating object. As paddling has gotten more popular, so have more comfortable lifejackets and suspender and belt-pack style inflatable lifejackets. Taking a course from the USCG Auxiliary, American Canoe Association or other provider is another way to increase your safety.

Tolerance
Hatred is not acceptable I agree with Wilson Hu that tolerance combined with compassion and mindfulness practiced daily is the heart of a healthy community as well as a basis for a positive, productive environment. (“Vashon didn’t display the acceptance we boast,� Aug. 15.) I believe we here on Vashon do display a great deal of tolerance and understanding, and encouragement and support for all walks of life. That’s why I live here. I also think we see where hatred and vitriolic rhetoric are not a part of a healthy society. To say “no� to that message does not mean you lack tolerance. These folks are reaping the respect they sow.

Drug use on Vashon
Rumble strips
What are the facts?
Strips are a misuse of funds
In the Aug. 1 editorial accompanying the important front-page article, “After a raft of drug activity, a neighborhood fights back,� the newspaper states, “Vashon is not a hotbed of meth-use and heroin addiction.� It went on to characterize the methand heroin-using and dealing population as a “small group.� How does one know these things? Are these statements based on published facts or personal perception? Were the relevant crime statistics for Vashon to be obtained and our rates compared to the rates of the county as a whole and were these findings to be published in the The Beachcomber, we Islanders would gain much-needed perspective on the scope of our problem and an important tool for dialogue and informed action. I hope that can happen soon, especially as this community negotiates the probability of reduced policing in its future.
In portraying their decision to continue installing rumble strips that defy Federal Highway Administration and Washington State DOT safety guidance, county officials present their new plan as a “compromise.� The High Risk Rural Road Program (HRRRP) grant funds used for this project have a very simple, clear rule: Rumble strips must “not adversely affect the safety or mobility of bicyclists, pedestrians, and the disabled.� HRRRP funds simply cannot be used for rumble strips that create any hazard for bicyclists or any access difficulties for the disabled. There’s no “unless local officials think the adverse effect is a reasonable compromise� clause in that rule. Calling their design a “compromise� is, in my opinion, an admission to misuse of federal funds.

This recent demonstration near the post office sparked some controversy over tolerance on Vashon.
Road manners will decline Every time a motorist on Vashon encounters an obstacle on his side of the road the natural and accepted local tradition is to “swing wide� and give extra room to the obstruction. When the obstruction is a cyclist, pedestrian or equestrian, there is an engagement process that happens every time a car passes. The car that swings wide is communicating directly to the less powerful road user, “I see you, and I acknowledge your presence in my lane.� Often cars can’t swing wide for a cyclist when there is oncoming traffic. Sometimes motorists slow down and wait for room in the other lane; sometimes they pass closely at a reasonable speed, and sometimes they disregard the less powerful road user. But the cyclist can see the complication with
oncoming traffic and make adjustments. With the presence of center-line rumble strips, friendly acknowledgement and common-sense judgement will disappear. The motorist will no longer be watching out for the cyclist, he will stare at the rumble strip and be forced to decide if “swing wide� is forbidden, ill-advised or extremely annoying. The cyclist will have no way of knowing what to expect because the easy decision for the motorist to swing wide is now eliminated by the presence of the rumble strip. I expect most motorists will try to avoid the rumble strip and crowd the cyclist. What a shame, as the cyclist doesn’t stand a chance against a car. Cyclists, pedestrians, equestrians and dog walkers will lose the opportunity to “share the road� with the motorist. We will be sharing the road with the rumble strips.

Sarah Lake St. Germain gives Ron Garrison, a volunteer at the Vashon Eagles Club, a buzz cut Saturday night, part of a fundraiser held at the Eagles to help victims of the Taylor Bridge Fire between Cle Elum and Ellensburg. St. Germain raised $176 by cutting hair, part of a much larger effort orchestrated by Eagles board member John Fredrickson to help the fire-ravaged region. Fredrickson and his wife Kaia have a strong connection to the area; they lived in Roslyn for four years, Fredrickson said. On Sunday, after a few days of fundraising, the couple took $2,200 in cash and a truckload of donations to Cle Elum to support families as well as pets and livestock. Among the donations were bags of animal feed for goats, cows, dogs and cats, as well as clothes, school supplies and other needed items. “My truck was completely full,� he said. The couple will continue to raise funds and collect goods for Cle Elum residents and animals. Those who want to help can call Fredrickson at 715-8989 or drop off items at the Eagles. “We have people here all day long who are willing to accept both goods and money,� he said.

represents thousands of mostly volunteer hours by more than 60 incredibly talented Islanders. This monumental effort has taken a toll on our ability to remain a sustainable production, so we are going on retreat now to renew our individual and collective spirits, explore possible directions and discover how Church of Great Rain will reappear.� Others noted they’ve also faced creative tensions and some personal disagreements in the last year, questions about their future direction that have taken a toll. Over the course of the summer, members came together in two discussions facilitated by John Runyon, a professional facilitator, where they talked about their options. A third such discussion will likely happen this fall. Some said they fully believe “Church,� as many call it, will re-emerge, perhaps in a re-configured form. Others said it’s just not clear at this point. “I’d love to say we’re not going to do a September show but we’ll do a Christmas show,� said Rogers, one of the writers. “But I don’t know if that will happen or if there’ll
be another show.â€? Mik Kuhlman, one of the group’s seasoned actors, put it slightly differently. “I have no idea (if it will go forward). I think it may. It might not. I think there’s a lot of talent, so even if it doesn’t emerge in the form that it is, something will emerge. ‌ I think it’s a really beautiful thing.â€? Jeff Hoyt, the lead writer until he stepped down at the end of the last season, said he believes Church of Great Rain will find a new path and continue later this year or early next. “There’s just so much energy behind it,â€? he said. But members were loathe to say anything on the record about the group’s differences, noting only that there were “issuesâ€? and “personal differences.â€? Rogers, asked about tensions among the group’s leadership, declined comment, saying that the group is suffering from “growing pains.â€? At their last gathering, he said, “We came to the conclusion that we didn’t have the focus to do the show at the level that we needed to do — to give our community what they expected this September. So we decided, let’s put this on hold, let’s reconvene, talk and see who has the willingness and energy to move forward.â€? Hoyt, too, declined to elaborate. “Like every creative endeavor, ‌ artistic differ-
ences happen. And Church was no different. Really, from the onset, there’s been artistic tension,� he said. In recent years, the group has been helmed by Greg Parrot, who co-founded the group and now serves as its executive producer; David Godsey, the artistic director, and Hoyt, who headed a stable of writers. Neither Parrot nor Godsey could be reached for comment. As the workload has grown, some said, Hoyt and others wrestled with how to make the effort sustainable. Could the show, for instance, become a regional production with a commercial sponsor, bringing in more revenue and thus enabling its many actors and writers to receive some modicum of pay? Currently, the money the show garners goes to renting the O Space, paying the guest musicians and a few members of the technical crew and buying equipment or supplies, members said. “The workload was unbelievable,� said Hoyt. “I said a long time ago, unless we became a commercial entity and grew into something much larger, where people could get paid, there might not be a way to sustain it.� But others said it seemed difficult to give Vashon’s jokes a regional appeal.

Norwegian bachelor farmers, touched a chord many could relate to, they noted, but Vashon’s struggles with septic systems, its frustration with ferries or its disdain for a bridge might not grab a regional audience. “It’s sold as Vashon’s answer to Prairie Home Companion, but Prairie Home Companion is a nationwide phenomenon. People in Seattle don’t understand jokes about a bridge. To me, that was the big challenge,â€? said Greg Wessel, one of the group’s writers. What’s more, others noted, with the intensity of the schedule, there hasn’t been time to take the long view and consider the future. Even with six weeks between shows and the summer off, several Church members said, the pace has been intense. “Our noses were to the grindstone with each season, and there were so many great ideas that we never got around to,â€? Hoyt said. “Ideas would come along, but we never had any time to ponder how it would work. We need to take the time to really think it through and explore some of these ideas.â€? “It’s been happening on the fly,â€? added Dougherty. “This is a chance to look at the experiences of the last four years and consider the best ideas. ‌ It’s a chance for us to think ‌ when we’re not actually in production.â€?

Meanwhile, those who have been involved in the show hope they won’t let down “the congregation,� as they call their flock of followers, community members who often get in line an hour before the show begins to claim a good seat. The sense of community when Church performs, Rogers said, “is palpable.� Should the show not find a new path, he said, he’ll be disappointed. But, he added, “I can walk away knowing it was probably the most creative collaboration I’ve ever experienced in my life.� But many said it’s far too soon to sing a dirge for Church of Great Rain. “I fully expect Church to continue,� said Dougherty. “It may not look the same, and it may not have the same people in it.� “We just need time,� she added. “We can’t rush it.�

5IF XPSE GSPN UIF QVMQJU $IVSDI PG (SFBU 3BJO JT PO SFUSFBU Here in Puget Sound and all around planet Earth, tides flow in and tides flow out with the pull of the Moon. So it goes with natural cycles inherent to all manner of creative endeavor, including Church of Great Rain. Each performance of Church of Great Rain represents thousands of mostly volunteer hours by more than 60 incredibly talented Islanders. This monumental effort has taken a toll on our ability to remain a sustainable production so we are going on retreat now to renew our individual and collective spirits, explore possible directions and discover how Church of Great Rain will reappear. Unlike the past four years, there will not be a season premiere show this September. Some people may believe Church of Great Rain simply appeared in its current form overnight through intelligent design. But it has evolved slowly over time, from spirited jam sessions by a folk-rock band called Great Rain, to polished two-hour productions attended by as many as 600 people at a single performance. Since September 2008, when our first show was staged before a handful of friends, 228 individuals and 30 organizations have helped produce 28 Church of Great Rain performances at The Red Bicycle and Open Space for Arts & Community. Vashon’s own music, comedy, variety show has truly achieved our goal to become
the Northwest answer to A Prairie Home Companion with a Monty Python twist. Many audience members at our May Revival show took the time to fill out a brief survey and offer skit ideas along with creative suggestions and encouragement. Most importantly, there was an overwhelming consensus that Church of Great Rain’s greatest contribution is a shared spirit of community enjoyed by cast, crew and congregation alike. It is this spirit of community that keeps us inspired to continue creating one of the most popular performing arts events in Vashon Island history. In order to again deliver the level of quality performances our Vashon neighbors have grown to expect from us, we must step back to be able to leap forward. After numerous meetings and heartfelt discussions, we have decided to go on retreat with a profound appreciation and gratitude to our lovely and generous community for the support you have given us. Please stay connected with us at ChurchOfGreatRain.com and on our Facebook page for news about the show. Thank you all and remember to pray for rain! — Richard Rogers, on behalf of Church of Great Rain

AUTHOR READING
A hot summer read that was written right here By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Arts Editor
A
blurb on the jacket couldn’t be more enticing: “I tore through this book with heedless pleasure.�
That’s what bestselling novelist Jonathan Franzen had to say about Maria Semple’s new novel, “Where’d You Go, Bernadette� — a book that was penned on Vashon. Semple, who lives in Seattle but spends summers and weekends at a beach house in Burton, will give a reading of the book this Friday at Vashon Bookshop — a chance for Islanders to meet a funny, talented and accomplished writer who fell in love with Vashon at first sight almost four years ago. Reached by phone in New York City during the hectic launch week of her book, Semple described how she and her boyfriend had felt an instant connection to the Island soon after moving to the Pacific Northwest from Los Angeles, where Maria Semple will read from “Where’d You Go, Bernadette,� at 6 p.m. Friday at the Vashon Bookshop.
Semple wrote for such shows as “Arrested Development,� “Mad About You� and “Ellen.� “We got off the ferry, and during the first drive up the hill, we both turned to each other and said ‘This is it,’� she said. “I got into the groove of Vashon much quicker than I did in Seattle.� The novel, delivered up by Semple in a patchwork mix of memos, emails, journal entries and other epistolary exchanges, tells the story of Bernadette Fox, a brilliant but offkilter mother of a level-headed teenager, Bee, who is left to solve the mystery of Bernadette’s sudden disappearance. Like Semple, the character of Bernadette is a recent transplant to Seattle, and her ragged transition to living in the Emerald City provides much of the comic grist of “Where’d You Go, Bernadette.� The character, Semple admitted, sprang from her own experience of culture shock after moving to Seattle — a place
“
Nobody in Seattle likes me. The day I got here, I went to Macy’s to buy a mattress. I asked if someone could help me. ‘You’re not from around here, are you?’ the lady said. ‘I can tell from your energy.’ What kind of energy was that? That I asked to be helped by a mattress saleslady in a mattress department? I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been in the middle of a perfunctory conversation, and someone will say, ‘Tell us what you really think.’ Or ‘Maybe you should switch to decaf.’ I blame the proximity to Canada. Let’s leave it at that; otherwise I’ll get onto the subject of Canadians, and that’s something you seriously don’t have time for.
�
where she said “everyone seemed to take an instant dislike to me.� The book, published by Little, Brown and Co., has won raves from critics nationwide. “Think ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ in Seattle,� said Time magazine reviewer Lev Grossman. People Magazine called the book “an uproarious comedy of manners,� and NPR Books described it
— Maria Semple, “Where’d you go, Bernadette� as “the year’s most anticipated comic novel.� And despite the fact that the book provides a wicked skewering of Seattle’s eccentricities, Semple said much of it was written on Vashon — a place she adores. Describing how she wrote “Bernadette� at a beautiful writing desk in her Burton home, Semple said that “this book to me
will always say Vashon
— the beach, the birds, the beautiful skies.� So might her next novel be set on Vashon? When asked, Semple laughed. “I don’t know if you want a novel from me set on Vashon,� she said. “Maybe. I’m not thinking about my next novel yet, but if inspiration strikes at the Burton Coffee Stand, you never know.�
"O *TMBOE JNQSFTBSJP CPVODFT CBDL UP CSJOH NPSF MBVHIT UP UIF #JLF A night of sizzling comedy will take place at 8 p.m. Friday at the Red Bicycle Bistro. There is a $5 cover for the adult-oriented show. The evening, featuring seven stand-up acts, is being hosted by Islander Steffon Moody. He’ll welcome local yuksters Katherine Daves, Darryl Caldwell, Aaron Calhoun, Michael Fitzpatrick, Harris Levinson, Richard Moore and Mark Sayre to the stage. Moody described stand-up comedy as a high-wire act. “In general, comedians are expected to get a laugh about every 15 seconds,� he said. “It’s an on-stage reality show, where the
possibility of failure is integral to the show itself.� On the flip side, though, Moody also described himself as “a living testament to the healing power of comedy.� In May, Moody broke three bones in his leg while playing softball, and had to undergo complicated surgery to repair the damage. His situation was filled with financial as well as physical peril, since he was without health insurance, and his work as a laborer and performer requires him to be on his feet. Islanders stepped forward, he said, at a fundraiser comedy show in June — an event that netted more than $2,500 to compensate
for Moody’s loss of income during his recuperation. Additional donations helped cover other costs related to the injury. Moody also successfully applied to Haborview Medical Center’s charity program, which paid for most of his medical expenses. Now, three months out from the accident, Moody is financially solvent and quite literally back on his feet. “I’m doing great,� he said. He added that he has immense gratitude toward his friends and neighbors who helped him in his hour of need. “The kind of support I received was just overwhelming and fabulous,� he said.

Vashon rower wins another world medal
EQUESTRIAN NEWS Young rider excels at a family sport A young member of the Rock Riders, Vashon’s 4-H equestrian club, is already racking up the ribbons. Roehre Cunningham, 12, earned high blue ribbons, considered the highest ribbons, in four of the five events he competed in with his horse Honey Rose at the King County Fair earlier this month. Competing in a field of about two dozen equestrians in his age group, Roehre also placed seventh in Showmanship, fourth in Hunt Seat, second in Bareback and was grand champion in the Stock Seat event, earning a large trophy. His awards made him the number-two rider for his age in King County and earned him a spot at the state fair in September. Roehre is not a Vashon resident, but he’s a longtime member of the Rock Riders. The grandson of Joe Cunningham, owner of Bay
Breeze Farm, Roehre learned to ride on Vashon and still comes to the Island regularly to ride and compete with the Rock Riders. Cunningham said Roehre, who comes from a family of avid equestrians, has always had a knack for riding. He has caught the attention of judges since he was very young, Cunningham said, and he won his first show at age 5. “He’s very talented. I’m not just saying that because he’s my grandson,� he said. Roehre’s father, Roehbe Cunningham, agreed, and said Roehre has a strong work ethic for his age. Roehre is also a competitive bull rider and regularly wins awards at rodeos. “He tries so hard at everything he does,� Roehbe said. — Natalie Johnson

Did you know?
Over 50 million school hours are missed a year due to dental problems. Everyone knows that it is important to help their kids clean their teeth to prevent cavities but it also helps keep kids in school. Urgent and emergency dental appointments are largely to blame for these missed school days. Prevention has always been the best medicine and even if cavities do develop it is important to treat them when they are small before they become urgent. This is especially important with baby teeth as they decay at a much faster rate than adult teeth. This decay can result in painful dental infections, abscess and missed school. It is important to monitor your child’s brushing and flossing even as they grow older to ensure they are cleaning their teeth adequately and to avoid missed school days.

Kruly, whose team also placed second at the regional competition, said she studied hard during the week’s leading up to the quiz competition. “You have to know a lot.

Mia Croonquist, an award-winning rower from Vashon, stroked her way to a second world championship medal last weekend. Croonquist, 16, competed in the junior women’s eight boat for the U.S. team at the World Rowing Junior Championships in Bulgaria on Aug. 19. With her team, she won silver at the highest level of competition for a junior rower. Last year Croonquist won gold at Worlds, competing for the U.S. in the junior women’s four. Earlier this summer she qualified for the U.S. team once again, despite not rowing all last school year while she attended high school in Hawaii. This year Croonquist stroked her boat, meaning she set the crew’s pace, as it sailed into second place just two seconds behind a strong crew from Romania. In the preliminary race at Worlds, Croonquist’s boat came in third behind Romania and Germany, enough to make it into the final heat. Croonquist, at the time, said her team hadn’t shown all its stuff in the first race. She was proven right when the U.S. boat then placed second in the finals, ahead of Germany and Italy. The boat also helped make history for the U.S. It was the first year that all three of the junior women’s sweeping boats medaled at the world competition. The junior women’s pair and four also won silver. — Natalie Johnson

takes into account the charms and attributes of the Island,� he added. “There’s nothing of a size that can accommodate larger events on Vashon.� Shapiro, who owns the 7,300-squarefoot Spinnaker Building on 100th Avenue S.W., appears to have a track record in hotel and retail development. According to his website and press accounts, he partnered with Hostelling International to develop the American Hotel, a 294-room hostel in the International District in Seattle that was completed in 2009. He also developed Melrose Market, a small collection of shops between Pike and Pine streets in Seattle that was hailed as a “project of the month� by the Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce. The Vashon hotel, should it come to fruition, would mark the culmination of a long and sometimes contentious battle over the future of the parcel behind Vashon Village. McClary, a developer who has built a few projects on Vashon over the years, bought Vashon Village for $1.6 million in 2005 with an eye toward constructing a 24-room inn replete with an in-house laundry, maids’ quarters and a conference

To facilitate his request, McClary asked that the eight water shares he had for the eight buildings currently in place at Vashon Village be re-configured, so that one water share or meter would serve the eight buildings and the seven additional shares would go to support his proposed hotel.

Charged with a crime? Experienced and Effective Criminal Defense Seventeen Years Experience—Over 100 Trials
33 months and cost the district $50,000 in legal fees. Days before the trial was slated to begin in November 2009, the two sides announced a settlement, allowing McClary to build a 16-room inn and requiring that he use water-saving measures in the inn, for his landscaping and in the other buildings at the small commercial center. But McClary never got around to building the hotel, in part because of the recession that hit just around the time of the settlement. McClary, now semi-retired and living in Southern California, said he is glad to be selling the property to Shapiro. The two have been working on a deal for about a year, he said. “I’ve always liked to have a hands-on operation, and when I was living there, I was over there constantly,� he said. “I thought it was time to accept a good offer and let it go at that.� District 19 commissioners, meanwhile, said they have no problem with the development of a small hotel that’s in keeping with the terms of the settlement. “I’m presuming the agreement will be adhered to, and we have ways to ensure it is,� said Steve Haworth, a commissioner. “We acknowledged in our agreement that we were ready for this to happen.� Should it be built, Shapiro’s project would represent the largest hotel on Vashon. The only other hotel is the Inn on Vashon in Burton, which has four rooms.

live music by the Portage Fill Big Band — was first planned to take place at the athletic fields and coincide with the fields’ opening for the soccer season. However, funds for the project ran dry before the district could purchase a $36,000 electrical hook-up for the site, and a generator put in place to temporarily power irrigation has been unable to keep up with the grass’ watering needs — especially during the recent hot spell. As a result, park district officials say, the fields won’t be ready for play, much less a large event, any time this month. At a park board meeting last week, Ron Krieger, the district’s athletic fields groundskeeper, explained to commissioners that the grass hasn’t been watered enough to develop deep roots, and play on the fields this month would likely damage it. “As much as (the park board) wants to open for the soccer season, it’s really not a good idea,� Milligan said. “All the wishful thinking in the world won’t change the condition of the grass.� The district is pushing forward, though, planning the
fundraising event at Ober Park and keeping a careful eye on the fields’ growth. Milligan said on Monday that if fall rains deliver up much-needed water, the fields could open in September for limited play — something that would free up pressure on other athletic fields during the busy soccer season. In addition, Milligan said, the park board has issued an official request to the county’s Department of Development and Environmental Services (DDES) to clarify its requirements for opening the fields complex, such as whether a fence around the fields has to be completed or handicapped accessible restrooms built. Any funds raised during and after this weekend’s event will go toward bringing electricity to the site and fulfilling DDES’s requirements, Milligan said. “That’s what we’re going to shoot for first, whatever the county wants from us to use the property. Any safety issues are paramount,� she said. David Hackett, a parks commissioner who will be playing trombone with Portage Fill at Friday’s fundraiser, said he believes many who will use the fields most have yet to give to the project, and he hopes they’ll show at the fundraiser. Vashon, he said, is home to thousands of soccer, baseball and softball players of all ages. “It’s just like our high school — these things don’t magically pay for and build themselves.

up and support the things they do on this Island,� Hackett said. The district will provide multiple ways to give at Friday’s event, hoping to appeal to all kinds of donors, said Susan McCabe, the park district’s program director and interim executive director. Large, hollow soccer balls will be placed around Ober Park for cash donations, and attendees can enter a dance contest or vote for their favorite dancers with their dollars. ` “Like we vote for unofficial mayor, often and with money,� McCabe said. A silent auction will offer up items such as a weekend stay at the keepers quarters at Point Robinson or a package of fine wine, while “surprise balloons� at $20 a pop will get buyers items worth up to $50 at local retailers. Proceeds from a wine and beer garden will also go to the fields, as will 10 percent of the proceeds from the two food vendors — La Biondo Pizza and Bob’s Bakery. McCabe said the district’s goal is ambitious, but she hoped between dancing and dining it would all add up at the first large, community-wide fundraiser for the fields. “We’re promising them a good time,� she said. As for the rest of the $300,000, Milligan said the district plans to more aggressively pursue grants and large donations from businesses and foundations, both on and off the Island. “We’re targeting some of the companies we purchase supplies from,� she said. “It’s going to have to be foundations and companies, corporate gifts from off-Island.� Hackett said the funds may come in slowly, and it may be years before the complex boasts all of its planned amenities, such as field lights, restrooms and a concession stand. “Right now we’re focused on getting it open. It’s one step at a time,� he said. “It might take several years to raise the rest of the money — it might be four or five years — but in the end we’ll have a park.� Swing and a Hit for Vashon Fields will take place from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 24, at Ober Park. Free swing dance lessons begin at 6:30 p.m. For more information see www. vashonparkdistrict.org.

Diane Kjellberg, former operations manager at Vashon Youth & Family Services, has agreed to return to the agency and fill in as its acting executive director while the board conducts a search to find a permanent head for the small social services agency. Ken Maaz, who joined the agency two years ago, will work his last day at VYFS on Friday. Kjellberg has already begun working with him, helping to assure a smooth transition, he said. “She knows the agency really well and the staff really well, so it made perfect sense for her to step in,� Maaz said. Kjellberg has helmed the agency before. She acted as the interim director for nine months two years ago, after Sam Collins left and before Maaz came on. She then moved to a suburb of Detroit, where her husband had a job. The couple moved back to Vashon last October, she said, making it possible for her to step back in and help the agency during another transition. “It feels great,� she said of her return to VYFS. “I totally believe in the work they do at the agency. It’s such an important contribution to the community. ... It’s good to be back and be needed again.� Meanwhile, Maaz said, the board has begun the process of searching for his replacement. A committee of four board members and two staff members has been created, and advertisements will soon be issued. The goal, he said, is to have someone in place by November. “That’s probably as fast it as can be done,� Maaz said.

Vashon man arrested for drug violation A young man was arrested this month for a drug violation after he was found to possess numerous bottles of painkillers not prescribed to him. The man, a 19- or 20-yearold Vashon resident, was pulled over Aug. 6 on the 9800 block of Cemetery Road for a traffic infraction when a sheriff’s deputy found the bottles, according to Sgt. Katie Larson, a
spokeswoman for the King County Sheriff’s Office. Larson said the vehicle contained numerous bottles of pills, such as oxycodone hydrochloride, morphine and clonazepham, a drug sometimes prescribed for anxiety and panic disorders. The man was booked into King County Jail and released the next day. He is awaiting formal charges.

Matt Swope recently completed his Eagle Scout Community Service Leadership Project with the help of his fellow scouts and friends in the building of a new Memorial Garden Rock Wall at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit in celebration of the church’s centennial. Swope attends the church and his grandmother’s and great-grandmother’s ashes are both buried at the garden. He is pictured standing in front of the new wall, built with stone from Mount Rainier. A dedication ceremony open to the public is set for 9 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 9, at the Episcopal Church.
Paul was the oldest of six children born to Edith & Ray Aspiri. He moved to Vashon Island in the first grade and was raised on Vashon in the Glenacres Area. As a youngster Paul loved to play tricks on his siblings and neighbors, ask Ed Babcock! He was a Cub Scout and in High School active in Key Club. Paul loved to boat, fish, camp, hike, read and play baseball. Go Firemen! He was married to Pamn Salyer, they had two children, Briana and Ryan. He lost his daughter in a tragic horse accident in 2005. Paul first worked for the Wall Flower, delivering flowers for Myrtle and Larry Walls. He helped them start The Garden Wall in Vashon Thriftway. At Thriftway under the guidance of Jan & Norm Mathews, he started as a box boy. He worked into the store manager of Vashon Thriftway. Paul’s strong work ethic, compassion, and ability to inspire, made him Store Manager for many years. Paul was made “Manager of the Year� for the entire Northwest Region more than once. He moved to the East Coast in 2003 and managed grocery stores for Magruders over the past nine years. Upon learning of his death, Magruders hosted a “Celebration of his Life� with 24 hour notice. Paul’s store was in a large Jewish Community, with 4 synagogues. He had taken the time to learn their holidays and kosher needs, endearing him to his many customers. They referred to him as their Catholic/Jew! 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 minutes notice he would announce “gotta go�! We were blessed that his employer honored this. Paul is survived by his son Ryan and son-in-law Max Chwaszczewski, His parents, Edith and Ray, his siblings, Gary (Mitzi), Tressa, Karen (Randy Heit), Mark (Jennifer), John (Debbie), his nieces and nephews, Jasmine, Jarem, Kramer, Spencer, Madison, Tylor, Austyn, Justin, Wyatt, Carmen and Kathleen. The mother of his children, Pamn, his dear friends, Patricia and Skyler Lawson, and Paul Blake, along with many life long friends from his childhood, and many new friends on the East Coast. Please join us in remembering Paul’s love, laughter and the thoughtful ways he shared with us. All are welcome. We will hold a celebration of Paul’s life on August 25th. Location: Vashon Sportsman Club Celebration of Life: 11:00 AM Reception: 12:00 - 3:00 PM Interment at Vashon Cemetery: 3:30 PM

Nicholas is a beautiful, 13 year
old, orange and white neutered male. He is in great health and good spirits. He is deaf, but that does not pose a problem with his daily cat activities (he knows some human hand signals). He loves to be brushed and kissed. He has a lovely white belly. He would do best as a solo cat, or possibly with dominate females. He tolerates dogs.

Born in 2003, Shilo is smart, affectionate and quiet. She loves to snuggle and she is prefers the indoors. Shilo can be a bit shy and she will hide when there are a lot of people around. Shilo’s person is moving to England and sadly, she can not take Shilo with her. Shilo would do best in a quiet home with adults who are looking for a very content little girl of a cat. Shilo came to VIPP 7/28/12.
