Craft distillery poised to make a splash
County puts the brakes on rumble strip project
Vashon spirits? Get ready for a new kind of juice

Vashon’s first distillery has yet to produce a drop of alcohol. But one would never know that based on the attention and anticipation surrounding the small operation. Vashon’s liquor store and The Hardware Store Restaurant are already making plans to promote the new distillery’s first products, set to hit shelves this month. The distillery’s owners are getting calls from total strangers interested in investing in the business, and people passing through Center often stop by the distillery’s new shop there to see if they can get a look. “Some people know we’re here, and some people just see the sign and come over to check it out,” said co-owner Ishan Dillon, sitting outside the shop with his partners one sunny day earlier this month. “Everyone who knows of our product and what we’re doing is overwhelmingly excited,” he said. Dillon, along with IT manager Paco Joyce and graphic designer David Waterworth, have spent the last nine months transforming a 1,300-square-foot log cabin off of Vashon Highway near Center, once an auto repair shop, into a state-of-the-art craft distillery that can pump out rum, gin, vodka SEE DISTILLERY, 20

David Waterworth, Ishan Dillon and Paco Joyce have transformed a 1,300-square-foot log house into a state-of-the-art distillery.
King County officials have decided to end the controversial rumble strip project on Vashon, a move they made after hearing from residents and elected officials that even a modified program impairs cyclist safety. In mid-August, the county announced it would continue the project, narrowing its scope but not ending it altogether. But last week, Harold Taniguchi, who heads the county’s Department of Transportation, said he and his staff had reached a new decision. An additional four miles of rumble strips along the centerline won’t be installed, he said, nor will the county add a few more stretches of grooved pavement along the shoulders on the southern half of the Island. “We’re not going to continue with the original
plan,” he said. County officials made the decision after they came out to Vashon two weeks ago to describe their modified plan, only to hear from residents “that there were still deep concerns,” Taniguchi said. Islanders, he said, “told us we still don’t get it.” The new plan contains some elements of their revised project. Responding to concerns about children’s ability to navigate the grooved pavements, the county will remove shoulder rumble strips near Vashon’s public schools. It will also add signs warning cyclists of the presence of rumble strips and install thermoplastic markings that make the grooves more visible. Taniguchi, saying it was a departmental decision, not a political one handed down by the County Executive’s office, added that he SEE RUMBLE STRIPS, 19
WHERE HAVE THE FOGHORNS GONE?
‘Senseless’ crime hits historic site hard By AMELIA HEAGERTY For The Beachcomber
A piece of Point Robinson is missing. Two historical artifacts were stolen from the serene waterfront park last month — solid brass foghorns that noisily erupted for decades whenever fog was near the point. There has since been a television news report on the theft and an outpouring of sympathy over the loss of the unique items. The group that oversees Point Robinson plans to replace them with two similar brass foghorns, unless the originals somehow return, said Capt. Joe Wubbold, president of the Keepers of Point Robinson.
It’s likely that the brass horns, weighing 60 pounds apiece, were unbolted from their 8-foot high metal platform and taken for their value as scrap metal, he said. The thieves probably approached the lighthouse by water at night, so the nearby live-in keeper of the point had little chance to see the crime in progress, Wubbold said. But the value of the horns, installed in honor of an Islander who loved the point, was so much more, he said. “It’s an insult to all the people who live on SEE FOGHORNS 18

The Vashon Park District failed to secure a permit from the state before drawing water from a well to irrigate its two new fields north of town. Under state law, a water right is required before a non-commercial entity can irrigate a field more than a half-acre in size. The park district’s Vashon Fields Project is a five-acre site. Failure to get a water right is a civil infraction and can carry a fine of $1,000 a day. Doug Wood, a hydrogeologist and permit manager from the state Department of Ecology, said he won’t fine the district but will work with the small agency to rectify the situation. “Our policy is not to punish people but to get them to do the right thing,� he said. Wood learned the park district had not secured a permit when The Beachcomber, responding to a tip from a source, called to inquire. He found no record of a permit, then called the park district and confirmed it hadn’t secured one. The situation can be serious, he said, if another
water user is affected by the park district’s water use. “Right now, it’s a concern. We’re working with the park district to bring them into compliance,� he said. Bill Ameling, who chairs the park district’s board, said he hadn’t heard about the problem until the state called to inquire. He said the issue was a minor administrative one. “Dot another ‘i.’ Cross another ‘t.’ It’s not a big deal,� he said. “There are no fines. It doesn’t cost money. You just fill out some paper work.� David Hackett, a park district commissioner and one of the lead champions of the fields project, questioned whether the district actually needs a water right under state law. He said he’d heard from park staff that the district was exempt. “There’s been no investigation yet. No exchange of documents. We’ll see where this goes,� he said. The state is going to allow the park district to continue watering the fields while it works to obtain a permit, Wood said. The permit process, he added, can be costly for the applicant — $10,000 to $15,000 to go through the entire process.

But Susan McCabe, the park district’s interim director, said she’s already talked to the Ecology Department about how the park district — which is facing considerable financial pressure — can keep the costs down. “We’re not in trouble. We’re going to keep watering. And we’re going to make sure we’re in compliance,� she added. It’s not clear why the park district did not know that a water right was required. Tom Ossinger, a Tacomabased consultant hired to oversee the project, did not return telephone calls. The district’s longtime maintenance director left the agency earlier this year. Michael Soltman, superintendent of the Vashon Island School District, which owns the land the park district is developing into a fields complex, said he told former park director Wendy Braicks that he thought the agency needed to secure a water right as part of its development at the site. Last month, a week or so before she was fired by the board, then-Executive Director Jan Milligan called Soltman to ask if the school district had ever obtained a water right, Soltman said. “I had our people look into it again and told her we didn’t have a record of it,� Soltman said Monday. Milligan, reached last week, said she believes she talked to two of the commissioners — Hackett and Joe Wald — about the situation before she was terminated. Wald did not return telephone calls. Hackett said he and Milligan never discussed the issue. “Believe me, I was flabbergasted. This was not raised with me before,� Hackett said.

Rob Peterson and Joanne Jewell’s small farm in Paradise Valley sports a new sign: A “USDA-certified organic� shingle now hangs at their produce stand, and the seal will soon be on many of their products. Their farm is not the first on Vashon to wear the “organic� badge. Years ago, two Vashon farms were certified organic under state standards. But both let the certification lapse, making Plum Forest Farm, a lush, five-acre spread Peterson and Jewell have owned since 1999, the only farm currently on Vashon that can make the claim. Peterson acknowledged that the hard-won imprimatur will likely make little difference on Vashon, where customers who buy locally often know the farmers who grow their food and can ask questions about the process. What’s more, Peterson and Jewell routinely sell everything they grow. “It’s not like we have unsold produce here,� Peterson said. But for the couple, longtime believers in the organic movement, the certification carries some meaning, Peterson said. It adds momentum to the movement, he said; it’s also a bit of a badge of honor. “People assume you’re organic on Vashon. We just saw this as the next stage in our professional development: We want to be able to say it,�
/BUBMJF +PIOTPO 4UBGG 8SJUFS
The certification process took Rob Peterson and Joanne Jewell several months. Peterson said. The certification process is overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which has worked with farmers over the years to develop and modify national organic standards. Peterson and Jewell began the effort in February. It was a complex and paperwork-rich process, Peterson said, forcing the couple to think through several thorny issues. What’s their soil improve-
ment plan? How are they enhancing biodiversity? What about pestmanagement? Months of planning, writing and documenting followed, Peterson said, capped by a half-day visit by an inspector who “asked a lot of probing questions.� The result is that their produce, eggs and seeds are now certified organic, and they’ll soon be feeding their cows organic, Island-grown
hay, a step toward getting their meat certified as well. Careful documentation and paperwork will continue, Peterson said, but that’s not such a bad thing. The effort will force the couple to keep excellent records, enabling them to track their farm’s growth and development. “There are benefits from good record-keeping,� Peterson said. Mark Musick, a Vashon resident and long-time leader in the smallfarm movement, said the certification could mean new markets for Plum Forest Farm. “It opens up the ability to sell to wholesale customers,� he said. On Vashon, where Islanders know the farm community, a USDA seal is not necessary, he added. At the same time, Plum Farm’s achievement is yet another sign that Vashon’s agricultural picture is changing and maturing. “These are all building blocks, and you don’t appreciate the significance until you look back and see the trajectory,� he said. At Plum Forest Farm, meanwhile, a bustling place, with 250 chickens, three cows and row upon row of produce, the Peterson-Jewell family didn’t have much time to celebrate their USDA seal of approval. “It came at a busy time,� Peterson said. So how did they mark the occasion? “We ate a really good organic meal,� he said.

Church hopes vespers will have wide appeal Board reconsiders green measures at high school By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
In an effort to provide a spiritual experience that appeals to a wide range of Islanders, the Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit is starting a new service with “no sermon, no announcements and no coffee hour,� said Rev. Carla Pryne. Vashon Vespers, slated for one evening a month, will be a short service of music, reading and meditation, where Pryne says people can take a pause from their busy lives, reflect and be inspired. “It’s designed to quiet the mind, open the heart and invite communion with God,� she said. Pryne said organizers hope the service will attract people of all religious backgrounds, as well as those who don’t consider themselves to be religious but are spiritual seekers. During the short, 35-minute service, there will be time for contemplative music, Taize chanting where short songs are repeated and readings that are sometimes religious in nature, sometimes inspirational and sometimes simply poetry. “You don’t have to know how to do church to feel at home here, although there will be many church people there,� she said. The services will be led by Pryne and music ministry director Paul Swenson, an awardwinning composer and musician who has been with the church for about a year. Swenson is
composing some new pieces just for the vespers, Pryne said, and is currently gathering some well-known Island musicians to lend their talents as well. “The music component is very important to the service,� she said. “We’re definitely drawing upon the talent and creativity of Paul Swenson and the people drawn to work with him.� As part of the Episcopal church’s centennial activities, church leaders have been brainstorming how the parish might better serve the Vashon community, Pryne said. The vespers service has a long tradition in the Episcopal church as well as other denominations. The Vashon Lutheran Church offers a similar evening service of prayer and healing once a month. The new service isn’t meant to draw more members to the Church of Holy Spirit, Pryne said, but to offer a commitment-free sanctuary for people to worship, meditate or seek God in their own way. If the vespers are popular, the church may hold them more regularly. “It’s wonderful to have a service that invites people without any requirements,� she said. “It’s kind of a gift, and I think that’s what part of the church is about.� The first Vashon Vespers service will be 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 13, at the Church of the Holy Spirit. Services are also scheduled for Sept. 13, Oct. 25, Nov. 15 and Dec. 13.

The Vashon Island School Board, facing slightly higher construction costs than anticipated, is slated to vote tomorrow on whether two resourcesaving green systems will be included in the new high school building. The board had previously approved both an air-to-water heat pump and a rainwater harvesting system for the $47.7 million high school project. But according to Superintendent Michael Soltman, bids for the project recently came in about 2.5 percent higher than expected, forcing the board and district to reconsider some of its decisions. The board, he said, can choose to use contingency funds to cover the added costs or opt to go with less expensive options, nixing, for example, the

two green systems it had previously approved. “That’s what they’re wrestling with — the real value of what we’re going to get by having these two systems in,� Soltman said. At last week’s board meeting, commissioners discussed the costs and benefits of the systems. They wouldn’t save the district much money, some noted; electricity savings from an air-water heat pump, for instance, are nominal. But installing the pump rather than a large boiler would allow the district to rely less on natural gas and eventually switch to solar energy, some commissioners said. The board will meet at 7 p.m. tomorrow at McMurray Middle School

The politics of rumble strips: Making government work
Even a trip to the hospital is a night out
FAMILY LIFE By KEVIN POTTINGER
The bedroom furniture casts short shadows in the muted gray of late June. I hot-potato hop on one leg, a few flecks of shredded grass still stuck to my shins, pulling on a pair of khaki pants. My hands throb from nettle stings as I gingerly slip a dress shirt over sunburned shoulders. My wife Maria stands halfdressed in a gray skirt in front of the bathroom mirror brushing her hair into a demure ponytail. Dusting her cheeks with rosy blush and reminding me to check the boat schedule again, she pauses to ask for my opinion: the black clogs or the comfy sandals? My gender-neutralized, non-judgmental answer is of no help. Our young children, full of questions about our plans, are seated at the dining room table causing some sort of undefined trouble; plates heaped with macaroni and cheese sit untouched, cold, gluey. A kettle on the boil, in less than a minute they’ll inevitably ignite into a furious, shrieking scrum. When I was little and my mom and dad had plans to go out, Mom got all dressed up with rouge, eyeliner, bright pink lipstick and sometimes a new hairdo, smelling of fresh perfume and mint as she kissed us goodnight, lined up at the front door in our pajamas. Sometimes when we woke up the next morning, we would find a handful of rococo swizzle sticks, long clear amber or green moldedplastic highball stir-sticks with a monkey in a fez or the Statue of Liberty or a risquÊ hula girl adorning the tip of the shaft.
I studied these artifacts like an archeologist, imagining the lively supper club and exotic cocktails, staccato Cuban rhythms unwinding on red vinyl records and sophisticated conversations full of clever jokes and rakish wit. I concluded that Mom and Dad needed to get dressed up and pretend to be someone else once in a while, and the main reason my brothers and sisters and I couldn’t go was that we would have reminded them of who they really were, deep down. For Maria and me, giving birth is probably more common than a night out. After dropping off the kids, in the minivan by ourselves, for a moment Maria and I are struck shy and suddenly tender; munchkins after the house began to pitch and landed in the ditch, etc. Ding-dong the kids are gone. I reach for her hand. We’ve had a reservation for months. Maria loves the food: Swedish pancakes with lingonberries and jersey cream, chocolate malts, cheese blintzes, nachos. The service is crisp and polished. The silverware feels heavy in the hand. We anxiously call ahead to ensure everything is OK. Yes, we’re on the list, they’re waiting for us. We pull up near the front doors and a young man in a blue hat
King County made the right move in ending its misbegotten rumble strip project on Vashon. Rumble strips make sense on long, lonely stretches of highway, where drivers — often zipping along at a fast clip — can zone out from the monotony of the empty road. But they make little sense on Vashon’s main arterial, a road that’s a mere 13.5 miles from one end to the other and that includes stops, curves, hills and a couple of commercial districts. What’s more, as Vashon’s cyclists pointed out, the project appeared to violate the terms of the federal grant that financed it: According to those guidelines, roadways should be milled only if these warning devices “do not adversely affect the safety or mobility of bicyclists, pedestrians and the disabled.� There’s ample anecdotal evidence to suggest that rumble strips had an adverse effect on some Islanders’ safety and mobility. As several cyclists have noted in the days following the county’s surprise announcement, this is a remarkable and rare turn of events by a government agency. It’s not often that an agency says, in effect, “We were wrong.� According to Steve Abel in a news release issued by BikeVashon, “(County Executive) Dow Constantine’s leadership and willingness to listen shows how government can work for residents across King County.� He may be right. Our one concern is this: Would residents in a less politically astute, less well-connected community get the same response that Vashon did? We hope so. We hope this decision wasn’t made for political reasons, but for policy ones. We hope that any community, regardless of their political clout, can get county officials to listen — and to change course if community members put forth a compelling argument. This is not to denigrate the hard work of several Islanders, who thoughtfully and sometimes aggressively took on the county over this project. They organized. They researched. They wrote letters. And they turned to those elected to represent them — including Sen. Sharon Nelson and King County Councilmember Joe McDermott — to support them in the effort. Indeed, what Vashon cyclists learned about rumble strips will now likely be applied elsewhere, when other communities face the potential of these strips on their roads. Vashon’s cycling community grew up in the course of this effort; some members will likely extend their leadership to other parts of the county. The problem with decisions made for political reasons — as opposed to policy ones — is that it means those who have access, clout and connections are more likely to prevail than those who don’t. Abel says this final chapter in Vashon’s rumble strip controversy shows “how government can work for residents across King County.� That’s certainly true on Vashon. We hope other communities are equally successful.

hands us a vague sort of ticket and gets behind the wheel. Our eyes follow our minivan around the corner and out of sight. We check in at the desk and fidget in an anteroom decorated in polite and patient browns and greens, with a giant fish tank burbling in the middle of the room. Maria calls her mom and lets her know we’ve arrived. A pleasant woman in a floral smock leads Maria to a digital scale. She records her weight, checks her blood pressure and temperature and asks when she last had something to eat, and finally attaches Tyvek wrist bands full of printed information on both our wrists. On mine, the nurse writes “Dad� in black Sharpie. On Maria’s she writes “Mom,� “Baby A� and “Baby B�. Once in the labor and delivery suite, we open the curtains, fluff the pillows and test out the bed and the TV. Nurse Lisa introduces herself by asking “Are you VIP? It says on your chart you’re VIP.� We’re not VIP, but it’s a long story, and it turns out that Lisa’s from the Island and we have lots of friends in common. Turning to me, she says, “You guys sure go to a lot of trouble just to get a night out.� Later, after the twins arrive, Maria orders cheese blintzes and a chocolate malt. She drains the last of her malt with a gurgle, and inside the glass, I see a long plastic sundae spoon leaning to one side. Out of the corner of my eye, for a few ephemeral seconds, I see a monkey in a fez on the end of that spoon.

credit is due: Kudos to Islanders as a whole and not just cyclists for their support, hard work and perseverance. Kudos to elected officials who listened and shared our vision of an Island that is friendly to all road users and kudos to those same officials who showed their commitment to an open public process. Kudos to the roads division for becoming receptive to the community and who will develop a more holistic safety plan for Island roads and who, we hope, will be a strong partner in making Vashon a bicycle friendly Island. Kudos to the Vashon-Maury Island Community Council for serving as a key platform to discuss the rumble strips and for lending its influential voice in representing the common interests of Islanders. And lastly, kudos to The Beachcomber for its thorough and fair reporting on the issue and the pointed questions to King County for the many lapses of the rumble strip project. — Ken Pritchard on behalf of BikeVashon

As a progressive Democrat, it is seldom that my sentiments are aligned with the Tea Party and property rights movements. Yet an attempt by community activists to invoke historic preservation principles to derail Vashon Alllied Arts’ performing arts project provides greater validation of Tea Party ideology than an hour of advertisements by American Crossroads or Club for Growth. The Tea Party’s grassroots supporters are

animated by anger over nonsensical government regulations and overbearing public scrutiny of private land-use decisions. Legitimate popular frustration over absurd regulations and bureaucratic overreaching has become co-opted into a corporatist movement to abolish the EPA and repeal the Growth Management Act. A prime example of such overreaching is the current effort to preserve the “historic� corner at Center. As a private community organization using private funds to build a performance hall on private property, governmental scrutiny of VAA should be limited to ensuring that the structure is safe for public use and that the project does not pollute the natural environment. While the Supreme Court has recognized legitimate public interest in preserving historic buildings such as Grand Central Station, this power does not relegate every old building to historic status or freeze the status quo from responsible development. The only thing “historic� about one of the buildings on that corner, the McFeeds property, is that it has been an eyesore for over 50 years. The fact that some community members disagree with VAA’s landuse decision does not entitle them to subvert the permitting process to impose their aesthetic sensibilities upon private parties in the name of historic preservation. Vashon depends on environmental and growth regulation to preserve our way of life. These regulations are threatened by a Tea Party movement whose legitimacy rests in finding examples of absurd and oppressive governmental regulations. Opponents of VAA’s performing arts center should adopt a less short-sighted posture and save their efforts for more important battles. — Matt Bergman

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY
When trouble came for the theater, you turned out in true Vashon style We at the Vashon Theatre have spent the better part of a decade getting to know this place and getting to know so many of you. Things are really different here. Adults step outside the box. So many of you are lifelong learners, travelers, ageless athletes, artists and community-minded individuals. You play and participate in adult versions of spelling bees, pinewood derbies and trick-or-treating. On Vashon there is always the offer of inclusion. Residents make new friends, wave at passing cars, chat in grocery store aisles, play cards on the boat and invite lone moviegoers to sit with their group. You bring fresh eggs, homemade jam and flowers to us at the box office. All of these are qualities we lovingly refer to as “Vashonistic� when we talk about this utopian place called Vashon Island. So many businesses have closed in recent years. Technology has removed whole industries. Movie theaters across the country are shutting their doors. We’ve tried to stay positive, because not getting the equipment before the end of film was unimaginable. Eventually, stress and fear were setting in. A big theater owner told friends that “Vashon will go down by the end of the year.� Like a dagger to the heart, people started asking, “When is your theatre going to close?� But hope was on the way. No group could be more “Vashonistic� than Tag Gornall and the members of Island GreenTech. They truly make Island citizenship their profession. When they offered to head
fundraising efforts, we were working without real results. Islander Todd Pearson also jumped in and helped. He and I share a vision of a local state-of-the-art theater. Thankful for whatever help would come, we continued shopping for loans, while really feeling the changed financial climate. This group of volunteers took this on like a full-time job, and The Beachcomber kept everyone informed on their progress. They all deserve our thanks. Even now, after all of the wonderful “Vashonistic� things we have seen, we could never have imagined what would happen next. We couldn’t have known how many of you would donate so much to help the theater survive. You all made the impossible possible. Yes, sure, a little more money is needed for changes to the building. But let’s not talk of that today. The equipment is on its way! Vashon, you did it! Thank you! Vashon, this theater will always survive because of your ownership. We will work hard to live up to this honor of stewarding your theater. Much work remains in the next few months, but it will be fun and exciting. We look forward to this new era and beyond. We will see you at the movies and soon, so much more! — Eileen Wolcott, Raechel Ehlers and all of us at the Vashon Theatre

Swing-n-a-Hit for Vashon Parks Vashon Park District is grateful to the donors, volunteers, dancers, the Portage Fill band, Jon Whalen and all the community members who attended our Swing-n-a-Hit Dance party for Vashon Fields Friday, Aug. 24 in Ober Park. Island businesses generously contributed coupons, prizes and auction items. Jon Whalen and the Portage Fill Band kept the evening lively, and almost a dozen courageous dancers competed in a lively and lucrative dance contest — all to earn just over $3,000 net toward the Vashon Fields project — from slightly fewer than 100 very generous partiers. Thanks as well to La Biondo Pizza and Bob’s Bakery for providing scrumptious food. First prize for the dance contest went to Andrew Hou and Sarah Stover; second prize to Lori Spears and Janet Williams and third prize to Emily Burns and Daniel Meisner. We are most grateful to Bettie Edwards of the Little House for free balloons and helium. It was an “all hands on deck� community event and a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone!

SCENE & HEARD: FISH TALES The Aug. 25 Vashon Island Picnic & Salmon Derby, a benefit for the Interfaith Council to Prevent Homelessness, was a success, according to organizers, and raised about $500 for the organization. There were 67 entries, many of which were from off-Island fishers. The largest fish of the day weighed in at 12 pounds, 13 ounces, going to Dan Rice, left, from Vashon. He received a check for $480. Mirel Wojciechowski won the child’s category with a 10 pound, 3 ounce salmon. Many prizes were given by sponsors, and everyone who showed up for the weigh-in went home with a lure, fishing pole and reel. Next year’s derby will be for pink salmon only; it is set for Saturday, Aug. 17. Organizer Gene Kuhns says it should be even better, with larger prizes, more sponsors and more fish.

After a five-month delay imposed by state regulators, Vashon Solar LLC is once again ready to seek investors for a publicly supported solar array it hopes to install at The Harbor School. Gib Dammann, who helms the organization, had announced in March that he had enough investors lined up to install a 9 kilowatt solar array at the school, a milestone for the Island. But it turned out, he said, that he hadn’t garnered one last approval — a green light from the state Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) that allows him to issue a public offering for such investments. “They slapped me. They corrected me,� Dammann said. “DFI in no uncertain terms determined that what we’re trying to do requires that we’re approved to sell securities.� Because no money had yet traded hands, he was able to back up, fill out the appropriate paperwork and get registered with the state, he said. The lengthy process, he said, was “both frustrating and beneficial.� The soft costs — all of his time and that of others, such as an accountant and lawyer — were daunting, making small, investor-supported solar projects such as his out of reach for some communities, he said. But, he added, “I feel very confident that we now have a very tight company.� During the five-month process with the state, Dammann couldn’t discuss the project with potential investors. Now, he said, “I can talk about it again. We’re proceeding to contact folks.� Dammann is now trying to line up between $100,0000 and $330,000 to build
a system that could produce between 9 and 36 kilowatts. It can have a maximum of 20 investors; each share in the company costs $5,000. Investors can purchase more than one share. The project differs from Vashon Community Solar, which also recently cleared the DFI hurdle, receiving an exemption from the state’s securities regulations after months of financial and legal effort. The community solar project is more ambitious: Backbone hopes to garner $540,000 and build a 65-kilowatt array. What’s more, its minimum level of investment is smaller: One share costs $1,000. Vashon Community Solar is the first one to work with King County, which is supporting the effort. Both efforts lost one summer’s worth of power because of the DFI snags. Dammann said he has to reach his minimum investment of $70,000 by Oct. 1 and finish the fundraising by Dec. 31. He hopes to have the first phase installed by midOctober and the second phase by Feb. 1. Vashon Community Solar, meanwhile, is also fundraising for its effort, holding community meetings to discuss the project. It’s also still going through a political process: Because the project entails a lease with the county to build it on county land — the Vashon Transfer Station — it has to secure approval from the King County Council. A committee hearing is scheduled for Sept. 18; it will likely be referred to the full council for a vote shortly after that. Because the Backbone project is supported by County Executive Dow Constantine and others in his administration, Carol Eggen, an Islander who’s worked as a financial consultant for the Backbone project, is optimistic it’ll win county council approval. “Our fingers are crossed,� she said.

MUSIC NOTES #MVFT MFHFOE DSPPOT GPS B DBVTF PO 7BTIPO This weekend Islanders can experience innovative blues music at the Red Bike while also supporting a Vashon cause. Blues legend Mark DuFresne and his band will return to the Bike at 8 p.m. Saturday for a benefit concert for Vashon Community Care. DuFresne performed the same benefit last year. DuFresne is one of the most sought after Blues talents in the Northwest. The Washington Blues Society has awarded him for best vocalist, songwriter and harmonica player more than any other artist. He has recorded three CDs of original music, one of which was featured the lineup of the former Hollywood Fats Band. One reviewer for Blues Review Magazine said, “DuFresne is as distinctive as a vocalist as he is a fiery player; rather than recycling old riffs, his original compositions are tuneful, melodic and grooveworthy.� Tickets for the concert, which is expected to sell out, are $10. All proceeds benefit Vashon Community Care. Advance tickets are available at VCC and Vashon Book Shop.
*TMBOE TJOHFS XJMM TJOH JO UIF TVO UIJT XFFLFOE Singer-songwriter Cami Lundeen will perform in outdoor concerts twice this weekend.

Audiences can bring a blanket or chair to relax on the lawn, and desserts will be provided. The suggested donation is $5 per person or $15 per family. For more information, contact Scott and Lisa Betz at 463-5456. The following day, Lundeen will provide entertainment at Bethel Church’s fourth annual music and barbecue picnic, slated for 11:30 a.m. Sunday.

Jennifer Krikawa, Charles Robert Stephens and Sarah Mattox sing together at a recent Vashon Opera gala. She’s also excited about other innovative touches in the production, one of which will be an onstage musical ensemble, all attired in powered wigs and period garb. Ensemble members will include Karin Choo on violin, Mary Manning on violin and viola, Douglas Davis on cello, Evan Stults on piano and Jennifer Rhyne on flute. Jim Brown, also dressed in a wig and 1790s finery, will conduct. “Jim will be a little Amadeus,� Krikawa said. As usual, a small army of volunteers has worked behind the scenes to bring the opera to the stage, but Krikawa singled out a group of local men and women — many of them retired — who
have come together to construct and paint the opera’s set. Hita Von Mende, a local painter, has been invaluable in terms of managing and directing the group, she said. Krikawa said she is eager to unveil “CosĂŹ Fan Tutteâ€? and take the stage as Fiordiligi. It’s a role that she performed once before, 10 years ago, at the Sarasota Opera — her last major role prior to having children, a life change that eventually led her to the Island to create Vashon Opera. And she said that after all the intervening years, she’s still amazed and challenged by the vocal intricacies of “CosĂŹ Fan Tutte.â€? “I can’t imagine Mozart’s mind,â€? she said.
Film society kicks off a First Friday series of artsy flicks Vashon Film Society is launching a new film series with Island art lovers in mind.

The first movie in the series is slated for this Friday, when the film society will present a meditation about work, family and art with the feature “Jiro Dreams of Sushi� at Vashon Theatre. Theater owner Eileen Wolcott said she loved the idea of partnering with the film society to show single screenings of acclaimed films that might have a hard time drawing audiences for a full week run. “It’s hard to preview so many great films that Vashon audiences would love and not be

As proprietor of a humble 10-seat, sushi restaurant in a Tokyo subway station, Ono was awarded a prestigious threestar Michelin Guide rating, and sushi fanatics from around the world journey to the tiny restaurant for a coveted seat at Jiro’s sushi bar. Capital Times film critic Rob Thomas wrote, “Even after you’ve eaten your fill, Gelb’s film is memorable not just as a foodie paradise, but as a lovely, insightful portrait of a man in a lifelong search for perfection.� “Jiro Dreams of Sushi,� rated PG, will play at 9 p.m. Friday.

One of the bestknown artists that will be featured is Rev. Howard Finster, who proclaimed his vision of salvation in his paintings and prints. He became well known after Talking Heads and R.E.M. used his paintings for album covers. The work of Jon Serl, another featured artist, came after his career as a writer and an actor during the transition of silent films to talkies in Hollywood.

Passport to Pain puts cyclists to the test Pirates lose to Orcas in an OT nailbiter
By Jeff Hoyt For The Beachcomber
“Fantastic!� “Epic!� “Brutal!� “Intense!� No, those aren’t audience reviews from “Total Recall� at the Vashon Theatre. They’re descriptions of last year’s inaugural Passport to Pain (P2P) bike ride around Vashon Island, offered up by riders on feedback forms after the race. The 78-mile course directs riders up and down 30 of the Island’s most punishing hills, resulting in 10,000 feet of cumulative elevation gain. Last year’s debut event saw 53 cyclists from both on- and off-Island get their souvenir P2P passport stamped at 18 strategically located checkpoints along the ride. A surprising 39 riders completed the course, which also includes shorter, optional 30- and 50-mile routes. This year’s second annual Passport to Pain will be Saturday, Sept. 15, with riders gathering at the Jensen Point boathouse at 8 a.m. Entry fees benefit the Vashon Island Rowing Club. “For intensity, P2P takes the ribbon,� said David van Galen of Seattle’s Integrus Architecture, the architecture firm working on the Vashon High School construction project. “From Maury Island on was one long slog of self-doubt and pain. So yeah, I’ll be back again this year.� The post-ride barbecue at Jensen Point came alive last year with stories of challenge and triumph. “There are many contenders for ‘worst hill,’� said Bob Horsley of Vashon, “but Burma Road can get real ugly. It’s so steep that you can skid if you stand or pop a wheelie if you sit.� “I hugged the last passport stamper tight after she told me it was all downhill from there,� said Pamela Forrester of Snoqualmie. “At that

Cyclists from last year’s event make their way down one of Vashon’s hills. One cyclist from last year called Passport to Pain “the toughest bike ride in the Puget Sound.� point, I wasn’t sure if ‘downhill’ was in the Vashon Island vocabulary.� Promoted as a “fun� club ride, the event asks registrants to sign a release and pledge $100 to secure their passport; they then receive a $4 rebate for each stamp received. Including a fee for the barbecue, participants can reduce their entry pledge to as little as $28, although more than half of last year’s riders left their entire $100 pledge as a thank you to Vashon Island Rowing Club, which raised more than $5,000. “It was definitely one of the most challenging rides I’ve ever done, but also absolutely one of the most enjoyable,� said Adam Gunn of Bainbridge Island. “Nearly every stop became at least a couple minute chat, and the homemade cookies and fresh blackberries were a definite favorite.� There is a limit on riders for this year’s event, which may very well over-fill. To secure a passport, register at www.vashoncrew.com/p2p. But
organizers stress that this is a strenuous, unsupported ride for experienced cyclists only. “Passport to Pain is not a race,� said lead event organizer Bruce Morser. “No times are taken or prizes awarded. It’s just our rowing club’s way of celebrating the hard work and crazy spirit of dedicated athletes.� — Jeff Hoyt is a cyclist and a member of the Vashon Island Rowing Club. Adventure cyclist Willie Weir will talk about his life as a cyclist at a talk at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14, the night before Passport to Pain. His talk will take place in Ober Park’s performance room. Weir, a nationally renowned speaker and regular contributor to KUOW, has cycled over 60,000 miles throughout the world, and will include the tale of riding his bike up what he calls “the steepest hill in the world.� Admission is free.

Serving Vashon Island Since 1929
The Vashon High School Pirate football team played its first game on Saturday, losing to Orcas Island in a 42-41 overtime thriller. Vashon received the opening kick-off and took the opening possession 60 yards for the first score. The drive was highlighted by a 10-yard run for a first down by Nathan Lawson, who last year was a player for Orcas Island and now plays for the Pirates, and a touchdown pass to Garrett Starr. Orcas came right back and scored on its first possession and then scored again in the first quarter to take the lead, 14-7. In the second quarter, Vashon tied the game on a great drive — Ezra Lacina caught two passes, one for a key first down, and Nick Amundsen, impressive with his speed in the open field, scored on a 5-yard run for the touchdown. Again Orcas came right back and scored. But so did the Pirates on an Amundsen keeper, tying the game at half time 21-21. Orcas received the second half kick-off, but two plays later Pirate Jason Kruly recovered an Orcas fumble. Amundsen then hit Starr for a 25-yard reception to the 5-yard line, capping the drive with a 5-yard keeper for the touchdown. The extra point was missed, leaving the Pirates leading 27-21. The Pirates had their hands full with a powerful Orcas running back, who gouged the Pirates for big runs throughout the game and led Orcas to its first score of the second half, leading Vashon 28-27. In the third quarter, Vashon went three and out, leading to an Orcas drive that was stopped at the 12-yard line with a sack by Nathan Jones. Orcas then kicked a field goal to go ahead 31-27. In the fourth quarter after a failed Vashon drive, Orcas got the ball, then fumbled; Amundsen recovered and ended the drive with his third touchdown and a Vashon lead, 34-31. Pirates stopped Orcas at its 30-yard line, forcing an Orcas field goal, tying the game 34-34. The Pirates got the ball and moved down it to the 10-yard line then fumbled, giving Orcas the ball. Regulation time ran out before Orcas could score. The Pirates got the ball first in overtime, and on 4th down Starr caught a pass at the 5 for a first down, capped by a pass from Amundsen to Lacina for the touchdown; the extra point by Clyde Pruett was good. Orcas got the ball and scored, then attempted a 2-point conversion that was good, winning the game 42-41.

the magical isle of Vashon,� said Wubbold, who discovered the foghorns were missing. “Whoever did that did not think through the much longer-reaching effects that this kind of thing has on many people. It’s not just taking something and converting it into cash.� Wubbold was discussing a tidbit of the park’s history with visitors on Aug. 16 when he glanced at the platform that had held the historic foghorns since 2010. It was empty. When he saw that they were gone, “my heart stopped beating for a second,� he said. Susan McCabe, interim executive director of the Vashon Park District, which maintains Point

Woody Guthrie 2002-2012
On one fateful day back in October of 2002, my husband and I visited Vashon Island Pet Protectors looking to adopt a Siamese cat. Ten minutes later, Geoff Fletcher arrived with a cat carrier filled with half-Siamese kittens! We looked into the cage, spotted the tiniest kitten with the smallest blue eyes and said, “that one�. They had been born in the wild and needed help getting socialized, so I visited my new pal and his foster parents regularly until he was ready to take home. In the years that followed, I would learn just how much love a shy, little cat could give. Cats acquire many names during their lives—any pet owner knows that. I named Woody Guthrie after hearing the woeful song he would sing when he wanted attention. I also called him “Woody two shoes� (after goody two shoes), “Woody one-click� (when one of his paws had longer nails than the other), “my little squeaky toy� (from the sound he made when hugged), Woods, Snuggle Bunny, Blind Woody McTell—the list goes on. A friend who cared for our cats when we were out of town called Woody “the invisible cat.� Like all of our other friends, she never got to meet him. He would scurry away at the first sign of an outsider and reappear the minute they left. Woody grew more beautiful every year. He could never jump very high, he wasn’t a strong hunter (thankfully) and he could barely meow. Many a laugh was had in response to his squeaky, sometimes silent meow. I could rub his belly, clip his nails, hold his paws or squeeze him tight. He was a homebody. His favorite spot was next to me in bed where he would look me in the eyes and just purr. He slept with his head on my pillow and then in the morning he would stretch his paws into my cheeks and yawn. “Good morning, Angel,� I would say. “Squeaky meow,� he’d reply. Woody passed away 1 month before his 10th birthday suddenly from an aneurysm. As sad as that is, I feel so lucky to be the one he trusted for the last 9 years and 11 months. Safe travels my flame-pointed prince—you will be hugely missed. Love, Mom (AKA Elaine Summers) Donations can be made in memory of Woody at www.vipp.org

Ruth English poses in front of the platform that supports the foghorns for a family photo, taken in 2010, when the brass instruments were dedicated in her husband Royal’s honor. Robinson, said the crime seemed “completely senseless — simple vandalism, and with some effort.� The foghorns were an audible alert heard across the East Passage of Puget Sound from the 1930s until the 1970s, when the Point Robinson lighthouse became fully automated, Wubbold said. After their removal in the 1970s, they sat in a storage locker until a decade ago, when they were dusted off and rigged up at the point to sound off with compressed air from a scuba tank, he said. Longtime Islander Royal English, a Point Robinson lighthouse tour guide and park enthusiast, loved to blow the foghorns, quickly exhausting the scuba tank’s air but enjoying every minute of it, Wubbold said. “I think he especially liked to share it with the children,� said Kitty English, Royal’s daughter and a Vashon High School teacher. “It’s not something that every kid gets to hear, a foghorn, and he’d let them push the button and make the big old sound.� When Royal passed away in 2010, donations were made to the park in his honor, and the Keepers of Point Robinson installed
the foghorns more permanently atop an 8-foot metal platform next to the lighthouse. Royal’s history at the park dated back decades. He and his wife Ruth and children Kitty and Wayne were Islanders who summered at a home on Luana Beach before moving there full time. The point was a family destination, and Royal reveled in sharing its history and beauty with others, Kitty said. After the horns were stolen, Wubbold and other Islanders were featured in a short piece on KOMO News Channel 4, which learned of the theft from a brief story in The Beachcomber. Since then, Wubbold and

Kitty said, they’ve received a flood of supportive calls and emails from others who appreciated the foghorns as they did.
1BSL EJTUSJDU OFUT BU GVOESBJTFS The Vashon Park District netted a little more than $3,000 from its fundraiser on Aug. 24, garnering much-needed cash for the Vashon Fields Project. The board had set a goal of $10,000 for the event, held at Ober Park. But Susan McCabe, the park district’s interim executive director, said she knew that goal was a stretch. About 100 people attended, she said, including all five commissioners.
“Relatives from around Washington have been calling us and saying, ‘Oh my God, I saw the report and they’re gone. That’s not right,’â€? Kitty said. “It’s devastating that they’re gone. ‌ It’s a huge loss. I hope they find them.â€? Though the horns are recognizable, it doesn’t appear that the King County Sheriff ’s Office has any leads in the case, Wubbold said. Law enforcement officials could not be reached for comment on the specifics of the case, but Dep. Jordan Hess, who works on Vashon, said there’s “nothing exceptionalâ€? in Vashon’s current level of crime. “We’ve been trying to keep a tight lid on getting people off the streets, getting those with warrants arrested, and keeping that out of people’s hair,â€? he said. Once the new foghorns are reinstalled at the lighthouse, the bolts affixing them to the platform will be thoroughly welded, Wubbold said, deterring any future crime. But he and Kitty hold out hope that the original foghorns may be recovered or returned. “We want them back,â€? Kitty said.
“I’m pretty satisfied with the generosity of the people who attended,� she said. She was also pleased that the entire board turned out and pitched in to help. “To me, that’s a showing of solidarity under our circumstances and shows we’re all going to work together as a team to make things better,� she said. The fields project, initially a $1.3 million effort to build new sports fields and other amenities north of town, is now expected to cost more than $2 million to complete. The park district has run out of cash for the year for the project but hopes to complete it over time, as more funds come in.

believes their final plan makes sense. The northern half of the Island, where the most accidents occur, are where the rumble strips are now in place. “It’s a great compromise,� he said. “We have a stronger pilot project moving forward.� Cyclists, reached shortly after the decision was handed down, said they were thrilled to hear the news. “I think it’s great that the county has responded to our voice. It’s a good start. It helps to move us toward a more bicycle-friendly community,� said Tim Baer, an Islander active in the newly formed group BikeVashon. Charlie Backus, another cyclist, agreed. “I applaud Harold. Harold has done very well in this whole thing. Considering the financial pressure the Department of Transportation is under, they’ve been extremely responsive to us.� Steve Abel, who’s also played a lead role in the effort and who personally knows County Executive Dow Constantine, said he believes Sen. Sharon Nelson and other elected officials had a hand in the decisionmaking process. Nelson,
who worked for years for Constantine before heading to Olympia, sent letters to the executive on the cyclists’ behalf, Abel said. County Councilmember Joe McDermott, who represents Vashon, was also sympathetic to the cyclists. “Sharon and Dow are close. And Joe and Dow are close. And both were working on our behalf,� Abel said.

After the county announced in mid-August that it would continue with the project, Abel said, “We just very quietly talked to the politicians who represent us, and they listened and brought some influence to bear on the issue.� Nelson, reached last week, said she was pleased to hear the news. “This shows that the county will listen to their constituents,� she said. “The group working on this did a good job of presenting their case.� Several cyclists have said the county’s program violated the terms of the federal grant, which prohibits the installation of rumble strips if they “adversely

affect the mobility and safety of cyclists, pedestrians or the disabled,� Backus said. “We’ve been reminding them of that since the meeting in Chautauqua� in May. Cyclists say the rumble strips have made the highway less safe. Cyclists can fall if they try to go over them, especially if they’re moving fast and on bikes with thin, high-pressure tires. What’s more, some have said, drivers are hesitant to give cyclists a wide berth, because they don’t like crossing the centerline and hitting the jarring bumps. Nelson said she was recently headed to the Tahlequah ferry, going 35 mph, when she saw a cyclist going faster — probably 40 mph. “You can’t hit a rumble strip going that speed,� she said. Initially, Vashon’s cycling community had also called on the county to repave those stretches of the shoulder where rumble strips are now in place. But on Thursday, they said, they realized the county road division’s dire financial situation made that demand difficult. “We understand that the county is under a lot of pressure financially,� Baer said. “We never wanted to be some fringe group that had unreasonable demands.�

Janett Byars DeMers an “J D� april 7, 1921 - august 22, 2012
Jan was born in Seattle on April 7, 1921, the youngest of three children born to Bill and Lettie Byars. She passed peacefully with her daughter Susy by her side on August 22, 2012 at age 91. Before settling on Vashon in 1962, she led quite a life. Her older sister, Billee, had 8 children and Jan helped raise them. She was the first woman from Santa Ana, CA to join the Women’s Army Auxilliary Corps (WAAC) and then was stationed in Japan after WWII. Upon returning to the states, Jan moved in with her sister to once again help with all the children. Wanderlust called and she travelled to Alaska, where she met her husband, Bud, a civil engineer with the Army Corps of Engineers. Both outdoors people, Bud and Jan enjoyed fishing, hunting, flying and getting together with friends. They were married in 1957, and Susy arrived in 1958, in Anchorage. Bud passed away in 1960 and Jan returned to Seattle. An opportunity arose on Vashon to take care of Bud’s father and this is where she decided to live. Jan was very active in the community, hosting bridge clubs, Orthopedic Guild holiday house, becoming a Camp Fire leader, Weight Watchers lecturer, and joined Eastern Star, Beta Sigma Phi sorority, the Fraternal Order of Eagles and the Red Hat Society. Jan volunteered at Granny’s Attic for many years. She is probably best known as the “Lego Lady�, hosting a public display of her Lego collection each December for quite a few years. Jan loved to travel and once spent 6 weeks with her sister chasing Haley’s Comet in the South Pacific, visiting various countries. Her trips with her sister were frequent and worldwide, but her favorite trips were visiting Legoland in Billund, Denmark, and the opening day of Legoland California, both with Susy. There were also many Disneyland trips for various family functions. Jan was very crafty and won blue ribbons at the Puyallup Fair for her knitting and needlework. Jan is survived by her daughter Susy (Mike Hoover) of Vashon, her brother Don Byars of Los Angeles and many nieces/nephews, grand nieces/nephews and great nieces/nephews as well as many “adopted� children and grandchildren. Please join family and friends on Saturday, September 8th at 1:00 pm at Island Funeral Home for a celebration of Jan’s wonderful life! Yes, there will be chocolate.

Sweet elder Maggie has been a barn cat her whole life. She is really a house cat and she wants nothing more than to have a person who can share their love and their lap with her. When Maggie came to VIPP she did not even have a name. One of the VIPP volunteers named her Maggie and now that she has finally earned a name she deserves a great home. Maggie came to VIPP on 6/20/12.

Corry was found and turned over to VIPP. Unbelievably, this sweet girl has not been claimed by her person. Corry is young (about 2 years old) is really sweet and great with kids of all ages. She would make a stupendous family cat as she is totally relaxed around full tilt energy of children. She has tuned into one of the volunteer’s favorites. This girl will make a wonderful pet for any lucky person who chooses her. Corry came to VIPP on 5/25/12.

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