Death of beloved teen leaves many grieving By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
Hundreds of islanders on Sunday bade farewell to Ryan Belknap Krug, a talented teen and native son who was remembered for his zest for life, unwavering kindness, strong work ethic and a mop of curls that surrounded him like a halo. In a memorial service in a packed Vashon High School gymnasium, several speakers — including his best friend and two of his teachers — told stories about Krug, played music in his honor and recalled his short but rich life on Vashon, the only home he ever knew. “I have a lot of great memories of him, some of which I can’t share with you,” Grant Lyons, his best friend, said to laughter. Ken Quehrn, his band teacher, also told stories that made people smile, describing the delightfully quirky way that Krug organized his music — by the last letter of the arranger’s first name — and his penchant for playing certain movie theme songs over
A Vashon company that has designed a cookstove that could stem smoke inhalation and deforestation in East Africa has received $4 million in financing — funds that will enable it to launch a farreaching manufacturing project in Kenya. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in her farewell address at the State Department last week, announced the financing agreement — a $3 million loan from the Overseas Private Investment Corp. (OPIC), a federal development finance institution, and $1 million in financing from GE — to finance Burn Manufacturing Co.’s cookstove project. The company, which works out of warehouse space at the Sheffield Building, hopes to manufacture and sell 3.5 million cookstoves for
use in East Africa by 2020. Peter Scott, a Vashon resident and president of the manufacturing company, was in the nation’s capital for Clinton’s speech, sitting in the front row of the Benjamin Franklin Room as the outgoing secretary of state discussed the need for cleaner cookstoves in the developing world and announced the funding package. “It was an amazing moment for the cookstove movement. ... My team has worked so hard, worked for free for two years to make this happen. This is huge,” he said in an interview from Washington, D.C. The funds are still not enough to bring the project completely to fruition, he said. All told, Burn needs $5 million in financing. “We’re still looking for that extra million in equity, but we can get started,” Scott said. “It means we can make stoves.” Bob Powell, an islander who has worked as a volunteer for Burn Design Lab, the nonprofit arm of the venture, said he, too, SEE STOVES, 20

and over again. The VHS band teacher teared up as he noted “the hole” that will now exist in the high school’s music program. “But Ryan,” he added, “we’re going to keep playing great music.” Krug, a junior at VHS, was killed in a tragic, one-car accident last Tuesday night, en route to his Dockton home after a study session at a friend’s house. The car apparently slid out of control, possibly because he was trying to avoid a deer, and broadsided a telephone pole. According to the King County Sheriff’s Office, Krug was wearing his seatbelt, and there were no indications of alcohol or drug use. Krug had turned 17 three weeks before. He’d had his driver’s license five days. His death, the first fatal car accident on Vashon in several years, has hit the island’s tight-knit school district and teen community hard. In the days that followed Tuesday night’s accident, the crash site on Dockton Road just south of Engels Repair & Towing SEE KRUG, 18
Vashon woman injured in attack at Pt. Defiance By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
A well-known Vashon woman was attacked at the Point Defiance ferry last week in an incident that has since drawn regional attention and hate crime charges. On Monday, Jan. 28, an elderly Tacoma man rear-ended islander Lu-Ann Branch at the Point Defiance ferry. He then attacked Branch with a steering wheel lock and threatened her and her friend, islander Kelli Nichols, saying he should beat them up because they looked like lesbians. The suspect, 71-year-old William Zesbaugh, was appre-
hended shortly after he left the scene and charged with seconddegree assault and malicious harassment, a hate crime. He was booked into a Pierce County jail and released on Thursday after he made bail. “I think this guy could be a danger to other people,” said Branch, who received 11 stitches after the attack. Nichols said she was still in shock over what happened. “You go (to the ferry) all the time, and you never think twice about your safety. It’s like being on the island almost. That’s what so SEE ASSAULT, 17

Park district could lose funds if project continues to lag By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
A state official overseeing two public grants for the Vashon Park District’s fields complex north of town said the district needs to complete phase one by June 30 or face losing $21,000 in funding for the project. Laura Moxham, an outdoor recreation grants manager with the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office, toured the half-finished site next to The Harbor School last week, her first visit since last summer. Little work has gotten done since her last visit, even though one of the two state grants — funding for phase one — expired nearly a year ago, she said. “Typically, when an agreement expires, the scope should be done. At this point the scope is not done. ‌ Obviously, that’s a concern for our agency,â€? she said. Vashon Youth Baseball and Softball secured the $75,000 grant for the park district project in 2008, pledging to use the money to build a baseball field, backstop, dug-outs and spectator benches and to provide handicappedaccessible parking at the site. The state has paid out $54,000 in grant money — reimbursement for work that’s already been done — but won’t pay anymore until the first phase of the project is finished, Moxham said. If the project isn’t completed, she added, “There’s a chance the sponsor might have to pay the money back.â€? The park district, meanwhile, has to complete phase two and three — the southern half of the project — by June 30 as well. The park district received a $500,000 grant for the final two phases, $131,000 of which it has yet to receive. Moxham said her office won’t reimburse funding for that second and third phase until she sees that the project is nearing completion. “At this point, we’re holding all the money until there’s some assurance we’ll have a viable recreation complex in place,â€? she said. The project at the five-acre site — fields for
baseball, soccer, lacrosse and football, as well as bleachers, lighting, restrooms, a concession stand and a plaza — was to be completed by April 2010. Its initial budget was pegged at $1.1 million, with $575,000 coming from the two state grants and the rest from the park district, a fundraising campaign and inkind contributions by user groups and other champions of the project. Construction costs are now thought to have reached $1.7 million, with about $300,000 in work still outstanding, according to park district officials. The park district has already received two extensions for the $500,000 grant and will have to go before the state Recreation and Conservation Office’s board of directors if it decides to seek a third extension, Moxham said. No more extensions are possible for the first grant, she said. Joe Wald, who chairs the park district and is overseeing the fields project for the agency, did not return telephone calls. But the park board’s newest commissioner, John Hopkins, said he’s hopeful that with some good project management over the next few months the project can be completed. “What I want to do is to get agreement on a plan. What is lacking now is a definitive plan — what needs to be done and who’s going to do it and what it will cost,� Hopkins said. “It’s very difficult to track what’s happened,� he added. “And we can’t go forward on that basis. My top priority is to put together a plan and to get an agreement that we’ll stick to it.� Lu-Ann Branch, another commissioner, also voiced frustration by the way the project’s been handled. “I’m continuously frustrated by what I keep finding. And what I’m finding is that there’s not a sense of how to manage this project,� she said. At the same time, she added, she too is optimistic that the project can be wrapped up quickly. “I don’t think it’s as complicated as it sounds for the fields to be completed,� she said.

The Sheffield Building, a sprawling warehouse south of town, is no longer owned by Vashon College. At the end of December, J.T. Sheffield, LLC, a company owned by businessman Tom Bangasser and his wife Melissa, took ownership of the 41,000-square-foot building. The property had been owned by JTSIP, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the nonprofit college, which purchased the site 10 years ago for $307,000 in a complex deal that involved the Vashon Island Rotary Club. The Rotary and another nonprofit, a precursor to Vashon College, stepped in to secure it at a below-market-rate price. But according to Rex Stratton, a Vashon College board member, “The revenue from the college was inadequate to cover Sheffield’s operating costs and taxes. So it fell way behind on its property taxes.� In December, Stratton said, it was transferred to the Bangassers to stave off foreclosure for JTSIP’s failure to pay property taxes. As of the end of December, three years’ worth of tax bills, interest and fines — totalling more than $100,000 — were owed on the property. Bangasser, in response to questions sent to him via email, said the change in ownership won’t have an immediate effect on the building’s tenants, which include the Backbone Campaign, Meadow Creatures and Artisan Electric. “There are no changes planned at this time. We continue to be the island business and innovation incubator,� he said.

Island– Convenience Escrow Service Without Compromise – Patrick Cunningham
But a group of islanders bird-dogging the project said they’re concerned that the park district may not have the cash it needs to complete work at the fields, even though the project has a $95,000 line item in the budget. The group has been meeting frequently and poring over the agency’s 2013 budget numbers. Five of them — Hilary Emmer, CC Stone, Andy Niss, Truman O’Brien and Steve Sussman — attended the fields tour with Moxham. Mike Mattingly, the volunteer project supervisor, also toured the site with Moxham.No commissioners, nor anyone from the soccer, baseball or other user groups, were in attendance. “They don’t have the money to spend,� Sussman said of the park district. “The budget they passed isn’t terribly realistic.� Much has been accomplished at the fields project already, Sussman said, adding, “It looks beautiful up there.� But the user groups and other island volunteers, he said, need to step up and complete the work. “Let’s get this done. But let’s get this done the way the island knows how to get it done. Let’s do it ourselves,� he said. Cheryl Pruett, vice president of Vashon Youth Baseball and Softball, said the baseball organization is willing to help but bristled at the notion that it hasn’t done enough. Wald, a commissioner and an officer with youth baseball, has been engaged in the project every step of the way, she said. She didn’t attend the tour, she added, because she didn’t know about it. “Obviously, the baseball board will step up and do whatever we can to help. Show us the list. What exactly needs to be done?� she asked. But the baseball organization is not in a position to repay the grant, should it come to that, she said. “If the grant goes into default and they want their money back, parks will have to come up with that,� she said. “Our name is on that grant as a favor to the park district.�

Sitting last week in her tidy home perched above Quartermaster Harbor, Golfus described how the soft and calming music often provides some peace to family members as well. One time when she played for a dying woman and her two adult sons, one of the son’s cried openly for the first time since his mother fell ill.

One of her most powerful experiences came when she was asked to play in a hospital room at Seattle Children’s as a baby died.

for the ill — including that with the harp — is a proven practice that dates back to ancient times. Today, music therapy is taught at colleges and universities around the world, and studies have found that regular music therapy sessions have positive effects om terminally ill patients, making them more relaxed and comfortable, decreasing anxiety and even easing pain. “Mostly it’s allowing them to relax and let go, is the simplest way to put it,� Golfus said. As for Golfus, she’s looking forward to being paid to do what she loves and she’s also working to put the word out on Vashon. She recently began an effort to network with island health providers and is making fliers and business cards, all in hopes of expanding her business. Looking back, Golfus says that although she chose a path with less financial stability than her career as a nutritionist, she couldn’t be happier. After working with so many terminally ill patients, she says she’s noticed that those who have lived fulfilling or profound lives seem to be most relaxed in their final days. “Ultimately we don’t get out alive,� she said, “and how we live is how we die.�

Islanders join global movement, plan dance on Valentine’s Day On Valentine’s Day afternoon, a large group of Islanders — some who have been practicing for weeks — will do a choreographed dance in Vashon town to an upbeat and thumping anthem about women’s empowerment. Organizers of the event hope this small Vashon faction will be joining at least a billion other men and women around the world to dance to “Break the Chain� on Valentine’s Day and stand up against violence toward women. “It’s about awareness,� said Amanda Winn, who is organizing the Vashon event. “When the awareness opens people’s minds or their hearts are open, they tend to contribute, so change happens.� The global movement One Billion Rising is the brainchild of activist and writer Eve Ensler, who is best known for her play “The Vagina Monologues.� Moved by the statistic that one in three women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime, Ensler put out a call for the same number of people — one billion — to stand up to violence with an original song and dance
on Valentine’s Day. The movement went viral, and now cities and groups all over the world are organizing their own events and teaching the dance in preparation for the big day. Big names from Alicia Keys to the Dalai Lama have pronounced their support of the movement. And so far, more than 100 Islanders have said on Facebook that they’ll attend the Vashon dance, scheduled for 4 p.m. near the intersection in town. Winn, a business development and marketing strategist who heard of One Billion Rising last fall, said she had originally planned to join the Seattle event, but friends from two different women’s groups encouraged her to bring it to Vashon. Since then, she said she’s been astonished by the island’s response. Four dance instructors — Claudine Kim-Murphy, Nancy Peet, Sara Van Fleet and Julie Gibson — have lent their time to teach the dance to dozens of men and women. Several organizations have offered their space for classes to be held, and DoVE, Vashon’s anti-
Islanders in need of items to help during a time of illness or injury may find them — for free — just a phone call away. In recent months, members of the Vashon Home Care Network, a coalition of private caregivers, have been collecting and lending items helpful during a period of convalescence, ranging from commodes and shower chairs to walkers and personal care products. Dubbed the “Care Closet,� the items
are stored at Island Funeral Service and can either be picked up or delivered by one of the caregivers, according to Chris Jovanovich, a longtime caregiver on the island and one of the organizers of the lending program. “It’s a neat thing that is starting to evolve,� Jovanovich said. “It’s been working out really well.� Several years back, she noted, Vashon Island Fire & Rescue had such a closet, and caregivers frequently
borrowed items for their clients. When that closet program closed, many noted its absence, Jovanovich said, and about a year ago, they began to put this new program together. Islanders wishing to borrow something for an extended period or a short time are invited to call and find out if the items they are looking for are available. If so, they may borrow them and return them once they are finished. Donations

Challenges, opportunities await us in 2013
Holding each other close in a time of loss
Collaborations will continue to help our island aid those in need of support
An image from Ryan Krug’s memorial service on Sunday will likely always stay with me. It is the scene of Ryan’s dear friend, Grant Lyons, standing behind the podium and speaking from the heart, flanked by nine teenage boys. The other boys didn’t say a word. They simply stood there, honoring their deceased friend and quietly supporting Grant. I’ve no idea what was going through their minds, but what I saw was pure grace and love, support of the most meaningful kind, a pulling together at a time when there’s little else anyone can do. On Vashon, where one degree — not six — separates us from one another, this has been a tough week, capping (we can only hope) what has been a tough five months. Three young people — Palmer Burk, India Castle and now Ryan Krug — have died tragically. Though all were lost under very different circumstances, their deaths bind us together in a shared sense of loss. And for the last several days, it’s been palpable and real, captured in tearful conversations, in Facebook posts, in a weight that has settled on the island. At the memorial service, Father Tryphon spoke words that resonated with me — and likely with many others, as they transcended the barriers of faith and religion that often separate us. He said we shouldn’t numb our grief by telling ourselves that Ryan has passed to the other side and that those close to him will eventually see him again. Instead, he said, we should simply feel our grief. Mourn his loss. See it for what it is — an incomprehensible tragedy. If there has been beauty, it’s been in scenes like those at Ryan’s memorial service, where teens have stood together in solidarity and love. It’s been found at Rich Krug and Rose Belknap’s home in Dockton, a home that has been filled with food, life and energy since their son’s death Tuesday night. It’s unfolded at all hours of the day and night at the site where Ryan died — an unremarkable stretch of road that has been transformed into a monument bearing witness to a very remarkable life. Another image that will always stay with me is that of Rose Belknap, holding a single white rose as she entered the high school gymnasium, supported — quite literally — by her friend Kirsten Jennings. As the family confronts their immeasurable grief, we know many on Vashon will stand by them. We 'VOE FTUBCMJTIFE know many will hold A fund that will help defray them.

At the beginning of each year, as the head of a Vashon social services agency, I find myself reflecting on the past, yet attempting to plan for the future. It’s a tricky position, since, of course, the future is unknowable and the past, too, is not always clear. Having made that disclaimer, I’d like to explore three issues I’ve been pondering due to recent events at the national and local level — issues I call “Cliffs, Crime and Collaboration.� Cliffs. I guess we did not quite fall off of one, according to the political pundits, but for those of us providing housing and social services, we have been sliding down a slope for awhile. A New York Times editorial in December summed up the situation well. According to the Times, federal housing programs such as Section 8 provide crucial support to more than five million people, half of whom are elderly or disabled and a third of whom are families with children. These programs ensure that people pay only 30 percent of their income in rent. For most people on fixed incomes, this leaves them with approximately $400 a month for all their other needs. These five million people are the lucky ones, because more than eight million other individuals and families would be eligible for assistance if we chose to expand Section 8 housing. Instead, these people are stuck paying more than 50 percent of their income for rent.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Abortion
5IF SJHIU PG XPNFO UP DIPPTF JT BU UIF IFBSU PG -JODPMO T DBMM GPS GSFFEPN I have not seen the movie “Lincoln� but was struck by the illogical slavery/abortion comparison made in last week’s paper (“Lincoln’ reminds us of the rights of the unborn,� Jan. 30). If an abortion/slavery comparison is to be made, a
woman who is forced to carry a pregnancy to term is more similar to a slave than the unborn fetus she is forced to carry. Essential to individual freedom is the right to make decisions about one’s own body. Slavery denied that right to African-Americans, and antiabortion laws deny that right to women.

Drug houses
0UIFS BWFOVFT FYJTU UP BEESFTT DSJNF For all those living in the vicinity of drug houses on Vashon, I would like to share a tool that was instrumental in quieting the activity in our neighborhood: taking notes and contacting King County Public Health and Environmental Services. Law enforcement can operate only under stringent restrictions and often is working to establish a wider net. Hazardous waste going into our streams and soil is a real concern and often grounds for action. Google “meth lab cleanup� and inform yourself on the signs of drug manufacturing; talk to your neighbors and start to document. In our neighborhood, the telltale signs were a Dumpster that erupted into flames eight feet high one night and an awful lot of midnight bulldozing going on in the yard. It is one thing for individuals to harm themselves, but to poison the water, air and soil is unacceptable, for ourselves and future generations. — Nancy Eister

In order to have a true understanding of what was intended when this amendment was adopted, you have to view it in the context of the recent history of the time. Fresh in minds of the framers was the memory of the British violation of civil rights before and during the Revolution. During the debates that preceded the adoption of the Constitution, charges were repeatedly made that the Constitution, as drafted, would open the way to tyranny by the central government. As a result, some demanded a “bill of rights� that would spell out the immunities of individual citizens. It’s apparent that they feared a government that would become too large, powerful and tyrannical. Having an armed citizenry was their solution to prevent this from happening. The Second Amendment is not about maintaining an army. It’s about the citizenry having the ability to protect itself from a tyrannical government. So, you have to ask yourself, what is the real agenda of the politicians who want to disarm us? — John Cushing
'SBNFST XFSF DPODFSOFE BCPVU QPXFS PG HPWFSONFOU The Jan. 30 issue of The Beachcomber included two letters to the editor that disagreed with an earlier letter by Jim Plihal, regarding interpretation of the Second Amendment, specifically the ability of the people to defend against tyranny. For clarification, John Williams (“Interpretation of amendment has strayed from its roots�) mistakenly claimed that Article II of the constitution is “also called the Second Amendment,� when, in fact, Article II creates the executive branch and is not an

amendment at all. I believe that the reference made by Jim Plihal (“Violence caused by a murderer, not the NRA,â€? Jan. 23) and Thomas Jefferson can be found in the introduction to the first Ten Amendments, which states, in part, “a number of the states ‌ expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government.â€? This introduced and gave purpose to the first Ten Amendments to the Constitution. In addition, there is reference to language in the Second Amendment itself, “being necessary to the security of a free state.â€? As Ben Shapiro says, “History is replete with examples of democracies who have gone tyrannical.â€? So, while there is no explicit mention of fighting tyranny in the Second Amendment, Jefferson and Madison, in particular, knew very well that power tends to corrupt and that the people must be able to defend their “inalienable rightsâ€? against any power, including the government itself, should the need arise.

In 2008, for example, there is this: “Now, eight years after its purchase, the Mukai Farm is, in the words of Mary Thompson, the state’s former preservation officer, ‘moldering away.’� That was almost five years ago. For 12-plus years Matthews and Happy have held on — through good-hearted attempts and frustrated attempts and threats of foreclosure and offers to purchase — and who can figure out why? After the most recent attempt by Friends of Mukai, a nonprofit that now has 150 Vashon members, Texas residents Happy and Matthews publicly bemoaned the lack of support they’ve had, then fenced off the property, eliminated the membership option in the original Island Landmarks organization and cut the size of their board from five to three.

Spelling for a good cause
Island spellers strut their stuff The Vashon High School theater drew a large crowd Saturday night, when 18 teams gathered to compete in the sixth annual Spell It! spelling bee, a fundraiser for the Vashon Community Scholarship Fund. This year’s winners of the bee were the Rotary Roustabouts — Craig Hanson, Allison Shirk and Ted Clabaugh, who won with the word “phycomycete,� any kind of fungi that resemble algae. The Roustabouts made it to the final round in the company of two other teams, Sparky’s Spunky Spellers, made up of Kathleen Rindge, Julie Hempton and Beth de Groen, who sponsored this event, and the Class of 2016, Alden Rogers and Kyle Johnson, who are freshmen this year and the youngest team to make it the final round, according to organizer Barbara Gustafson. Enthusiasm was infectious in the VHS theater. When the freshmen spelled “quincunx� correctly, the audience erupted in cheers. Costume contest winners, voted on by the audience, were the Three Shepherds in Search of a Flock, Beverly Skeffington and Jim and Barb Huff, from the Presbyterian Church and who — in recognition of their creative attire — will be able to spell for free at Spell It! 2014. In all, the event raised around $5,000, Gustafson said. She called it the “best bee ever,� not just for the money it raised, but for the wide variety of people who participated and attended. There were teams from each of the high school classes competing, she noted, as well as parents of members of the senior class and residents of Vashon Community Care, along with a host of others, many onstage in zany costumes. Among the audience members, there were people who came in wheelchairs, she noted, and two young children who enthusiastically supported their mom, Allison Shirk, whose winning spelling ways earned her an onstage hug from her son when she was part of the championship team. “We were delighted,� Gustafson said about the evening.
Above, Allison Shirk of the Rotary Roustabouts thrusts her fist in the air when she realizes her team has won the 2013 competition.

Islander Jim Diers spotted this heron “coming in for a landing,� as he put it, while walking with his leashed dog at Fern Cove recently. “I see herons virtually every time I visit Fern Cove,� he said. This time, as he was photographing one of them, a heron flew up and landed on a rock close to where he was standing. “I was taken by surprise, but, luckily, I was able to capture most of his movements. Herons are so incredible. They look kind of prehistoric in flight and awkward when they land in water or on land, but they are so beautiful.�

Painter, musician team up for a unique performance By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer
The Open Space for Arts & Community is bringing back what they call the riskiest show they’ve ever put on. On Saturday, Feb. 9, two of the island art scene’s finest — painter Pam Ingalls and musician Daryl Redeker — will bare it all in a joint improvisational performance billed as Brush Notes II. During the hour-and-a-half event, Ingalls will paint a portrait of an audience member chosen from a hat while Redeker composes an original song about that person, performing a final version at the end of the night. The audience will be seated close to the action, and a large-screen TV will display close-up views of the artists’ work as it progresses. There will be a Q-and-A where the two will discuss their creative process, and at certain points spectators will be able to walk around, even get on the stage, to check out Ingalls’ brushstrokes and Redeker’s guitar picking up close and personal. “To be able to watch someone like that actually make a painting is so unusual,� said the Open Space’s Maria Glanz. “And Daryl is such a great song writer, to get to witness him writing a song is also very unusual.� Ingalls and Redeker teamed up for the first Brush Strokes in 2011. Ingalls, a prolific oil painter well known on Vashon and beyond, said she enjoyed the experience, but

Painter Pam Ingalls and musician Daryl Redeker will team up again for Brush Notes II. it also pushed her out of her comfort zone. She had to paint more quickly than normal, and do so with a crowd of people watching. “I’m not used to performing; most of my painting is done totally by myself, “ she said. “It’s like being naked.� At the same time, Ingalls said, she also felt inspired by the crowd’s presence. “It seems like their energy changes it a little bit. It’s risky but it’s interesting,� she said. Last year Redeker, a singer, songwriter and teacher who has released several records and wowed Islanders with his musicianship for many years, wrote an impromptu song based on whatever his muse was that night. This time, Glanz said, he’ll chat with the subject of the portrait and compose an
original tune either about or inspired by him or her. Last year’s lucky model was Susan McCabe. This year, it could be anyone. “We have a real commitment to making art that bridges that gap between the artist and audience,� Glanz said. “To making the event where something kind of magical can happen in the community. This is ... a signature event for us in that way.�

Pirates take down Cowboys in rematch By GARY MEANS For The Beachcomber
The Vashon girls basketball team played two games last week, defeating the Chimacum Cowboys at home on Tuesday, Jan. 29, before dropping a game at Eatonville on Saturday. Playing an improved Chimacum squad that they beat earlier in the season, Vashon held a 1-point lead midway through the first half, but the Cowboys battled back, taking a 4-point advantage to halftime (22-18). The Pirates closed the gap in the third quarter, knotting the score at 31 by the end. Leading by two points with 15 seconds remaining, the contest rested on one-and-one free throws from freshman Annika Hille. Hille made the first shot to give the Pirates a 3-point lead, but missed the bonus. Taegan Lynch adroitly snagged the rebound off the miss and — moving quickly to her right — delivered the game’s final basket and the 5-point final margin of victory, 44-39. Siena Jannetty led the Pirates with 15 points, while Lynch tossed in 11. Anya Quig and Hille each added 7. The remainder of the scoring came from Tiana Koenig and Kalie Heffernan, who each netted 2. The Saturday evening visit to Eatonville saw the Pirates taking on the league’s second-place team. The Pirates kept the game within reach early, but a 6-0 run inside the last two minutes gave the Cruisers a 16-point advantage to end the half 28-12. Vashon fought back to within 10 points in the third quarter, but the Cruisers managed to regain their margin as the quarter ended

with the Pirates still down, 44-28. The Cruisers eventually wore the shorthanded Pirates down, with a 64-37 final score. Lynch shined in this game, scoring a career high 13 points against the playoff-bound Cruisers. Quig followed closely with 11. Hille (7), Kate Atwell (4) and Heffernan (2) accounted for the rest of the Pirate scoring. “This was a tough week emo-
tionally for our players,� said coach Henry Porter, noting that Jannetty was unable to play much due to a tender ankle. “The girls played really hard, and we are still developing the depth it takes to be competitive for four quarters when key starters are sidelined,� he added. The Pirate’s final regular season game was Tuesday after press deadline against Charles Wright.
Twenty-two Pirate wrestlers entered the Nisqually League subregional tournament hosted by Vashon on Saturday. By the end of the day, an impressive 17 were in the hunt for medals and a berth to the regional tournament this weekend in Castle Rock. Last year the team sent 13 to regionals. The Pirates as a team also beat out four other schools to take first place at the tournament.
Eight Vashon wrestlers were in the finals, nine wrestled for third or fourth place and two for fifth or sixth. The heartbreaking part of the final round is that at this tournament, only the top three grapplers are guaranteed a spot in the regional tournament — fourth place finishers are alternates. Vashon had five champions that day, three Pirates placed second, four placed third and two placed fifth. With such a dominant performance, the team as a whole won the tournament, beating squads from Eatonville, Cascade Christian, Bellevue Christian and Port Townsend. “I’m super proud of all of our 4&& 83&45-*/( /&95 1"(&

Hoopsters grab another win but miss playoffs by one loss By EZRA LACINA For The Beachcomber
The Pirates basketball team, hoping to qualify for state playoffs, played two must-win games last week. They started off well with a dominant win over Chimacum, but then took a road loss to a tough Eatonville team over the weekend. On Tuesday, Jan. 29, the Chimacum Cowboys traveled to Vashon to face the Pirates. In their first meeting last month, the Pirates won the game handily, and they aimed to do it again. To start the game off, the Pirates were dominant on defense, only allowing 6 points in the first quarter. Senior Ben Whitaker displayed the Pirates’ defense with great blocks in the paint, while freshman Sam Yates added to the offense with a first quarter trey. At the end of the first period, the Pirates led, 13-6. The second quarter was dead even, with both teams scoring 12. The Pirates ran their offense with efficiency while Chimacum didn’t seem to have an offensive scheme. At the half, Vashon led, 25-18. As play resumed, the Pirates came out faster, stronger and better than the Cowboys. As the game came closer to the final buzzer, the Pirates continued to pull away and establish themselves as the better team. Sophomore Ian Stewart tied his career high of 14 points, and sophomore Jesse Norton led the Pirates in

Ben Whitaker, 22, rises above a herd of Cowboys as the Pirates begin their rout of Chimacum. scoring with 26, contributing to a 57-36 win over Chimacum. On Saturday, the Pirates made the long trip to Eatonville to face a very good Cruisers team in a mustwin situation. The game came at a difficult time for some Vashon players, just a few days after the tragic death of classmate Ryan Krug. The contest get even tougher as the Pirates experienced what seemed
like fouls that weren’t called and at times heard crude comments from Eatonville fans. Norton started Vashon scoring with a 3-pointer, but by that time Eatonville had already jumped out to an early lead. At the end of the first quarter, the Pirates were down, 12-8. In the second quarter, Eatonville began to pull away even more. The Pirates couldn’t get anything
going on offense, and Eatonville was extremely physical. The referees rarely called fouls on the Cruisers, not even when Sam Yates was knocked to the ground while attempting a three. At the end of the half, Eatonville led, 31-18. During the game, several fans in the Eatonville student section yelled gay slurs at some of the Pirate players. Yelling and attempting to rattle the opposing players is common in games, but the Pirate players and fans were disheartened by Eatonville’s slurs, which they felt crossed the line. Play continued, and it was the same story for the Pirates in the second half, as the Cruisers outplayed the Pirates at both ends of the court. There was a scary moment in the third quarter when senior Matt Swope was entangled with a Cruiser player attempting to grab a rebound. Both players crashed to the floor and the Eatonville player grasped his knee in agony. After several minutes of medical attention, the player was helped to the Eatonville bench and did not return to play. Down a player, Eatonville still kept up the pressure and won the night. Yates and Norton led the Pirates in scoring with 8 each. The final score read Eatonville 55, Pirates 34. — Ezra Lacina is a student at Vashon High School.

surprising,� she said. Branch, a Vashon Park District commissioner, and Nichols, an islander who works for a copyright company on Vashon, first saw Zesbaugh’s car late Monday morning when they began to follow it on Pearl Street a few blocks before the ferry. When they reached the ferry tollbooth, Branch said, Zesbaugh, in an older red Toyota sports car, pulled to the right as if he were going to the tollbooth. Branch pulled to the left to drop Nichols at the bottom of the hill to walk on the ferry. Zesbaugh, however, pulled behind Branch’s car, laid on his horn and began to follow her closely. As Branch slowed down ahead of the stop sign at the bottom of the hill, he rear-ended her car. When Branch got out of the car to try to exchange insurance information, Zesbaugh retrieved a metal steering wheel lock from his trunk, came at her and hit her with it twice before a ferry worker intervened and Branch got away. He later defended his actions, yelling that Branch had cut him off. “It was kind of a sociopathic thing. He was walking very calmly,� Branch said. “I remember thinking at the time, ‘He thinks this is okay.’� After Nichols called 911, Zesbaugh continued to yell at them. “He points to both of us and says ‘I can tell you’re lesbians, I should beat the crap out of you right now.’ I couldn’t believe he said that, like that had to do with anything,� Branch said. While the women waited for police to arrive and tended to Branch’s injuries, Zesbaugh attempted to come at Branch again with the weapon, but was stopped by

The driver then attacked Branch and threatened her and her friend. the ferry worker. “He said, ‘You’re going to pay for this. You’re really going to pay for this. I’m going to come and get you,’� Branch said. Zesbaugh eventually drove away, but was stopped by Tacoma police and arrested not far from the ferry. According to charging papers, as Zesbaugh was being taken into custody he said, “I should have hit her a lot harder if I’m going to get in trouble for it.� Back at the ferry, Branch, who is heterosexual and married with two children, was treated by Tacoma responders.

She still had blood on her clothes at the meeting. “It’s been pretty painful,� she later said of her injuries. “I can’t set (my arm) down. I can’t go swimming. For a triathlete that’s kind of a bummer. My shoulder is all screwed up.� Nichols wasn’t injured in the incident but said she was shaken nonetheless. As a lesbian who has spent her adult life in Seattle and on Vashon, she said she’s never had a negative experience surrounding her sexual orientation. “I’ve been lucky in that sense,� Nichols said. She said it was disturbing “to have

someone want to induce violence on me because of that, even though I know it’s out there.� Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist said that although road rage isn’t uncommon in Tacoma, it was unusual to see a 71-year-old man involved and for the situation to escalate into a hate crime. The case seemed even stranger, he said, when he learned that the man appeared to have no criminal record. Lindquist said his office would prosecute Zesbaugh vigorously “because we take road rage seriously, and we take hate crimes seriously.� The day after the assault, multiple Seattle news outlets covered the attack, and stories on the incident landed in the “most viewed� sections on the KING5, KOMO and Tacoma New Tribune websites. The women said their phones were ringing off the hook with calls from the prosecutor’s office, insurance companies, the media and friends who heard about the incident. “I’m not talking to the media to make this person look worse,� Nichols said. “More to just get this message out there to be careful.� While Branch and Nichols agree there was something not quite right about Zesbaugh — perhaps he is mentally ill — they both say that after this incident they’ll be more cautious of strangers. Because of Zesbaugh’s threats to “come and get you,� Branch said she obtained a no contact order against him, meaning that if he comes near her, he will go back to jail. “It’s a little unsettling,� Branch said. “You make assumptions about how life is and how people will react, and you act according to that level of trust you have in other people. And I think that’s been broken to some extent.� Zesbaugh is scheduled to appear in court for a pre-trial hearing on Tuesday, Feb. 19.

Dockton Road, he made a heartfelt plea as he headed to the accident scene: “Please don’t let it be a young person. Please don’t let it be someone I know.� In fact, he did know Krug. The teen, the bearded monk said, smiling, was the first islander to refer to him as Professor Dumbledore. Krug, the son of Richard Krug and Rose Belknap, lived his entire life in the Dockton home his parents bought after they moved to the island in 1976. His sister Savannah Krug is a student at Western Washington University. Friends and family members recalled Ryan Krug as a scholar, a musician and an athlete, a young man with a keen mind, a dry sense of humor and a determination to do well. He played tenor saxophone, ran cross-country and played club soccer every year since first grade and was planning to turn out for high school soccer again this spring. When he was a freshman and his sister a senior, the two served as “turkeys,� leading the pack for the famous elementary school race called the Turkey Trot. In 2011, he competed in Seattle’s halfmarathon, completing the 13-mile race in 1:46. He was voted captain of the crosscountry team last year. An honor student at VHS, he had a 3.96 gradepoint average and wanted to go to a college with a strong science department and a good pep band. He hoped to major in biology and had a keen interest in environmental science, his father said. The day before he died, Rich and Ryan Krug had begun making plans to tour colleges. His parents, sitting together on a couch in their modest home overlooking outer Quartermaster Harbor last Friday, wept often as they described their son, a boy who had an almost preternatural desire to do well and help others. As a preschooler, they said, he offered up his entire wooden train set when his teacher asked for contributions to an orphanage in Central America. As an elementary school student, he volunteered for Vashon Island Pet Protectors, making doggie care packages to hand out at the Strawberry Festival. Twenty-five hours of community service are required to graduate from Vashon High School. His parents estimate he had more than 200. Last summer, in what they described as an experience that seemed to both deepen and strengthen him, Krug spent two months at Battle
Mountain, Idaho, living in a tent and doing trail work for the Student Conservation Association. He buzz-cut his thick blond hair before he left and returned buffer and stronger. “He came back a different person,� Rose recalled. Ryan Krug made it to the state high school band competition as a soloist last year — a significant accomplishment in the competitive world of high school musicianship — and was practicing with the hope of again making it to state. He planned to play “Fantasia,� and for months he’d been practicing the complex piece. Rose said she recently got to hear him perform the piece with the pianist who planned to accompany him and was struck, watching him, by how much he enjoyed playing his saxophone. He practiced in his bedroom next to the small living room where his parents often read or watched television in the evening and was excited to be able to start driving to school in the family car because it meant he could lug his heavy instrument home more easily. Tearing up, Rich Krug said he’ll deeply miss not hearing his son play. “Every night, we got to hear him play the sax. I will miss that. I’ll miss the music,� he said. Students, too, say they’ll deeply miss Ryan Krug, a popular student with a network of friends from his sports teams and other school activities. Hart Heffelfinger, a junior, stopped at the crash site Thursday morning, where he hugged Mara Burns, another junior who stood before the growing collection of flowers, candles, photos and memorabilia. Heffelfinger was at the study session with Krug the night he died, a chemistry session, he noted, that involved a lot of help from Krug, who was strong in chemistry. “He was really smart. He was always helping me with my homework,� said Heffelfinger, who grew up with Krug. Burns, another junior, said she’d miss seeing him walk down the hallway holding his girlfriend’s hand. “I saw him every day. He was in so many of my classes. It’s so hard to comprehend I’m not going to see him anymore.� Heffelfinger was in a car behind Krug’s Tuesday night when the accident occurred, though he didn’t see the actual collision. In fact, he didn’t even realize
8FEOFTEBZ 'FCSVBSZ t 7BTIPO .BVSZ *TMBOE #FBDIDPNCFS
his friend had crashed, he said; it looked like he’d pulled over onto the shoulder, and Heffelfinger, thinking Krug had stopped because he had forgotten something, started to drive past until he realized what had happened. Heffelfinger stopped, as did another driver who quickly called 911. “My hands were shaking too much to hold my phone,� Heffelfinger recalled. In the days following the accident, counselors from Vashon Youth & Family Services as well as VHS counselors and staff spent time at the school library, talking to students who were devastated by the news of his death. The tragedy has affected the entire school district, in part because of Rose Belknap’s connection to the school system: She works as an artist-in-residence at Chautauqua Elementary School, is a lunchroom supervisor and recently was asked to oversee the Chautauqua library, said Michael Soltman, superintendent at the school district. “Everybody’s really struggling,� Soltman said the day after the accident. “It’s absolutely devastating.� Quehrn, the band teacher, said that when his students filed into classroom Wednesday

morning, the day after the accident, he told them they weren’t going to play that day and urged them not to sit in their seats. The students ended up plopped on the floor against a wall, shoulder to shoulder, leaning on each other as some cried. Quehrn sat in Ryan Krug’s seat. “We just sat there. I cried in front of them. We sat in silence and then shared some memories,� he said. Krug, he said, was “a rock solid young man, and I would have done anything for him as his teacher.� At the service, attended by 700 to 800 people, Barbara Gylland, the mother of two of Ryan Krug’s good friends, described him as a young man who lived life fully, nurtured by parents who dedicated their lives to their two children. He was energetic, she said. He ran constantly. He skateboarded, skied, camped and hiked. And until he cut his hair last summer, she said, his “bountiful blond curls� seemed like a halo when they shimmered in the sun. “Ryan crossed his finish line way too soon,� she said. “We fully expected to keep cheering him on for years to come.�

Visit our guestbook at www.howden-kennedy.com • Hank DeHope, Principal • Longtime principal of Burton and Vashon Grade Schools, Hank DeHope passed away early on the morning of January 18th in Tacoma. He was 97 years old. Hank was born August 14, 1915 in Paterson, New Jersey. His father, William de hoop, arrived by steamship to Staten Island with 8 dollars in his pocket. The de hoop name was changed to DeHope a few years later. Hank was very proud of his Dutch Heritage. The family moved to South Dakota where they ran a bakery for many years until WWII broke out and sugar was rationed. Friends convinced Hank that he should go to college since he had a medical exemption from the service. The authorities said he had a heart problem and the army did not want him. He graduated from Northern State Teachers College and began teaching History and Band in Alcester, SD. It was here that he met the love of his life, Betty Cooper. They married in 1944 and four years later, followed Hank’s folks west to Seattle. They both got teaching jobs on Vashon Island. Betty taught first grade for a short time and then Kindergarten for many years. Hank was the principal of Burton Grade School next to Judd Creek, and later at the new school up the hill. He moved to the principal position at Vashon Elementary years later. Hank and Betty bought a log cabin in the woods on the Burton Peninsula and lived there until they built a beautiful home on Kingsbury Beach Road. They loved watching the sunsets over Quartermaster Harbor. Hank enjoyed golfing with his buddies at the Country Club where he was a founding member and continued to pay dues until his death. Hank also enjoyed ballroom dancing at the Elk’s in Tacoma. Hank is survived by son Don and his wife Marla of Gig Harbor. Hank had two grandchildren. David of Tacoma, and Kathryn of Santa Monica, CA. Preceding Hank in death were son Paul and wife Betty. Hank loved Vashon Island. He loved his students and people in general. His smile will be missed. Island Funeral Service coordinated internment at Vashon Cemetery. Please visit our online guestbook at www.islandfuneral.com.

Ryan Belknap Krug Ryan Krug, a Vashon Island High School student, passed away on Tuesday, January 29th, just three weeks after his 17th birthday. Ryan’s signature bushy blond hair was the first indication of his bright, light and gentle nature. He embraced life with gusto and passion. His easy way with people, coupled with his innate tendency to lead, won him many friends. Ryan really knew how to laugh, always appreciating a good joke or a clever prank. He had a remarkable ability to help others see humor in mundane or not apparently funny things. There was really nothing Ryan couldn’t do when he put his mind to it. He struggled with severe asthma as a child and hemophilia in high school. Neither could impede his determination to be athletic. He ran cross country and track and played soccer. Throughout his boyhood, he spent every free minute running loose with his neighbors, Bradley and Brian Gylland, throughout Dockton. They played endless pickup games with other neighborhood children. As they got older, they would take their bikes into the trails and get hopelessly lost for hours. As a teenager, Ryan did yard work for people in his close-knit neighborhood. He was saving his money to travel to Brazil to visit with family friends and watch the 2014 World Cup. Ryan was shy as a young child. Yet as he grew, he developed the fierce independence that defined his teenage years. He loved to be outdoors in the wilderness, hiking and mountain biking. Last summer, he spent five weeks in Nevada volunteering on a trail crew for the Student Conservation Association. The experience served as a turning point in his life, leaving him with a more solid idea of what he could do on his own and an appreciation for his physical and mental strength. Upon his return, he told his family that he planned to pursue environmental science in college. In school this year, he applied himself even more to his studies, taking honors classes and earning a 3.96 GPA. He also wanted to study music in college. He held the first tenor saxophone chair in the high-school band and won honors throughout the state in various music competitions. He was working on a saxophone/piano duet of Fantasia that he planned to perform at the Washington Solo Ensemble competition this spring. Ryan resisted reading on his own as a child, but freshman English with Mr. Blomgren brought a new appreciation for poetry and literature. During junior year, he began writing his own poetry, along with music lyrics. He and his friend, Grant Lyons, had been composing a song together, with Ryan’s lyrics. Ryan was always there for his friends, listening, giving advice or helping with homework. He really loved his core group, aptly named “the crew.� Ryan also treasured his time with his girlfriend, Llira. Ryan is survived by his adoring parents, Rose and Richard, his devoted sister, Savannah, his grandmother, Jerry Belknap, aunts and uncles, Susan and Jim Dichiara, Ben Belknap, and Doug Burnside, and cousins, Joe, Millie Joey, Allison, Melissa Bijas, Rexene Underhill, Andrea Pariani, Darcie Belknap, Deana Keele, Doug Fish, Richard Fish, Fred Burnside and Kenneth Burnside, and dear friends Mary-Anna Hops, Judy Pells, Steve Schoenleberg, George Asanovich, and the Gylland Family, Barbara, Fred, Bradley and Brian. Donations can be made to the Ryan Krug Memorial Fund at any Bank of America. Money from the fund will help defray the costs of the funeral. Leftover money will go into a scholarship fund for the Vashon Island High School class of 2014.

was deeply encouraged by the announcement. “It’s a wonderful vote of confidence in the organization that Peter has built here on Vashon, to go from an idea a little over two years ago to being — at least on paper — a top-tier contributor to stove development in the world,� he said. “It’s been a miracle,� he added of the effort. “Now, the hard part really begins.� Inefficient cookstoves are considered both a humani-
tarian and environmental crisis in some parts of the world, where airborne particulates are harming and even killing women and children and where trees are logged at a rapid clip to fuel open-pit fires or poorquality, fast-burning stoves. According to some organizations, 1.6 million women and children die each year from upper respiratory disease due to indoor cooking smoke. And deforestation in many of these countries is rampant. In fact, Clinton made clean cookstoves a top priority during her tenure at the State Department; she launched the Global
Erma Dorothy Laughlin Erma Dorothy Laughlin passed away peacefully January 13, 2013, one week before her 91st birthday. Erma was born in Seattle, Washington January 20, 1922 to John and Martha Pickrell, the third of six children. Erma was raised in West Seattle, graduating from West Seattle High School in 1940. Being smart and feisty, Erma had aspirations to attend college yet grew up in an age when it was not customary. Instead, Erma married a neighborhood pal, Harold Ebert Laughlin on September 18, 1941 and took up residence in West Seattle. In 1943, after having their first daughter, Linda, Harold and Erma purchased a 3-bedroom house on a chicken and berry farm adjacent to the Biloxi “mosquito fleet� dock on the north end of Vashon. Children were a great joy to Erma. By 1959 Erma and Harold had seven children, Linda, Harold, James, Mary, Martha, Edward, and William. Erma and Harold led Vashon Presbyterian youth groups for years, often taking packs of boisterous teenagers on multiple-day camping trips through the wilderness of the Cascades and Olympic Mountains. Erma and Harold’s dinner table was the place where she would meet her children’s new boyfriends, girlfriends, and friends. As the multitudes of friends cycling through the dining area became too much to keep track of, every kid’s name, boy or girl, became George. Erma even called the kitty George. On Saturdays of each week Erma would liberate herself from her position as chief of the house, ditching the kids with Harold to go to Seattle and spend the day contently shopping for a new pair of shoes. During her days raising children Erma cultivated her many talents becoming expert at stitching complex quilt panels and clothing; gardening vegetables and dahlias; knitting hats and sweaters; baking fresh bread and blackberry pies; and serving as a welcoming hostess at multiple family dinners and clam bakes. Erma even had skills she didn’t know she had when Harold left a car with a broken transmission at the ferry dock for her to drive home. Discovering the car only ran in one direction, reverse, Erma drove to the house backwards. Upon returning home, Harold got an earful, so Erma always had cars that drove forward after that. By the 1980s the children were grown so Harold, a computer programmer in the aerospace industry, became an independent contractor or “job shopper� moving with Erma to Pennsylvania, Texas, and California while always maintaining their home base on Vashon. Erma took great pleasure in sewing, seeking out fabric stores in every state returning to Vashon with yards and yards of new fabric. Eventually, Erma and Harold’s family included 20 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. Being a grandmother was fun for Erma. Many an evening was spent playing scrabble and eating ice cream with a grandchild. Always one to support her children’s educations or vocations, Erma practically raised some of her grandchildren. Erma and Harold were married for 59 years, and after Harold’s death in 2000, Erma was the focal point of family gatherings. Besides keeping track of her large family, she donated her time and expertise to Granny’s Attic Thrift Store. Erma was and always will be remembered as a nurturer, a kind hearted individual, and a joy to have around. Erma leaves children Linda, Harold (Butch), Jim, Mary, Martha, Ed, and their spouses, 20 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren, brother John Pickrell, sisters Joye Howell and Sherli Horne and their families. She was preceded in death by son William Maxwell Laughlin (1967), grandson Brian William Schultz (2000), husband Harold Ebert Laughlin (2000), and sisters Ruth Killgore and Jane Droscher. Internment was at Vashon Island Cemetery, Saturday, January 19, 2013. Contributions in memoriam can be made to Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Association, www.vashonheritage.org, P.O. Box 723, Vashon, WA 98070.
Alliance for Clean Cookstoves and noted in speeches that more people die from dirty smoke than from malaria. In her speech last week where she announced the partnership with BURN, she joked about her obsession with cookstove technology: “When I first started beating the drums on this alliance, there were people who said, ‘There she goes again. Clean cookstoves? What does that have to do with world peace and prosperity and human rights and democracy and freedom?’ Well, everything actually.� Scott, a leader in the clean cookstove movement, and his wife Olivia Pendergast moved to Vashon nearly three years ago and launched an effort to both design and ultimately manufacture a stove that he hoped could alter the face of East Africa, a region particularly hard-hit by fast-burning charcoal stoves. Over the years, his project has been embraced by the island; several people have volunteered countless
8FEOFTEBZ 'FCSVBSZ t 7BTIPO .BVSZ *TMBOE #FBDIDPNCFS
hours to support the effort, and others have come from engineering schools around the country to work for free or for a small stipend. Scott, himself, has worked without a paycheck and has spent all of his savings to get to this point, he said, and the project was teetering on the edge financially. The financing package, he said, “is the difference between life and death for Burn. We’d completely run out of money.� Personally, it’s also important, he added. “I’m really excited to not have to go to the food bank anymore.� Burn Manufacturing Co. is a privately held corporation that was set up with help by Ted Clabaugh, a lawyer on Vashon and the company’s secretary. Scott is the president; another stalwart at Burn, Boston Nyer, is the vice president. The design lab, based at Sheffield, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. It is there that a group of engineers has worked for months trying to perfect a charcoal-burning stove that could dramatically improve
William C. Palmer William C. Palmer, born to Elizabeth and Glenn Palmer in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1944, passed away at home on Vashon, February 4, 2013. William was a self-employed home painter. He is survived by his wife Gwynn, whom he married September 1, 1970. He is also survived by his son Josiah Tai Palmer, god-daughter Maren Metke and sister Carol Mutillo.

efficiency, produce far less carbon monoxide, cost little to make and perform well for the women who do the lion’s share of the cooking in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Rwanda and elsewhere in East Africa. Last August, Scott and others at the design lab said they had designed and fabricated what they considered the perfect charcoalburning stove, dubbing it The Tank. They’ve already manufactured 500 of them and sent them to Kenya, where they’ve been wellreceived, Powell said. With the financing in hand, they can now scale up and produce tens of thousands of Tanks, a stove they’ve renamed the jikOkoa, Scott said. (“Jik� means stove and “okoa� means efficient.) “Initially, they’ll fabricate the parts in China and assemble the stoves in Kenya — a necessary move, Scott said, “to get the stoves to market right away.� Ultimately, and with additional financing, the team plans to set up a manufacturing plant in Kenya. The decision to begin manufacturing the stoves in China “is an intermediate step on the path towards a factory in Kenya,� Powell said. What’s more, he said, building a factory in Kenya will likely be fraught with challenges. “So having intermediate components made in China ... is part of a learning experience to mitigate the risks,� Powell said. Scott expects Burn’s stove production will lead to 200 jobs in East Africa. But he’ll also employ a dozen or so people on Vashon, where he and his colleagues will continue their quest to find other kinds of stoves that can work in other parts of the world. Noting the location of the Sheffield building, Scott added, “There’s going to be an explosion of creativity at 188th and 103rd.�

Boo Boo and her brother Buster came to VIPP when their owner died. Boo is still adjusting to her new life at the shelter. Boo misses her person with whom she would sleep every night. She is used to a quiet household and she is afraid of dogs. Boo is looking for a warm lap where she can feel safe and loved again. ASK about special adoption discounts in February for black cats.
Hero Hero is a beautiful 2 year old mixed breed (with some Border Collie). He is energetic and good with other dogs and older children. Because he loves to chase moving objects, he would do best in a home without cats or young children. He is gentle and loving and looking to charm the socks off you! There is a $125.00 adoption fee.
