Park district erred in its handling of finances, fields project, auditors say By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
The Vashon Park District failed to curb expenses when revenues fell, kept itself afloat by borrowing money and did not comply with state laws governing the administration of a public construction project, state auditors have found. In a report delivered to the five-member board Tuesday night, two auditors from the Washington State Auditor’s Office also said
the district did not submit annual financial statements, as required by state law, and could not locate many of the records the auditors needed to fully review the small Vashon agency. After the state agency received calls on its hotline about problems at the park district, those missing annual financial statements were a red flag that alerted auditors that a review might be in order, Dan Potapenko, the lead auditor for the park
district’s review, told the commissioners. “You have to tell the citizens how you’re doing financially,” he told the board. “They want to know.” It’s the law to submit financial reports, he told them. “But I also think it’s a good idea.” Potapenko and Carol Ehlinger, audit manager for the state, reported their findings to district’s commissioners at a meeting at the district’s Ober Park office. About
60 people attended the meeting, though the auditors did not take questions from the audience. In both their briefing Tuesday night and their written report, the auditors did not suggest the commissioners acted with criminal intent or committed violations that would prompt the auditors to turn their report over to the state Attorney General.

Finding Faith | An occasional series
Unitarians embrace social justice, spiritual openness By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer

Bruce Brown greets commuters with a wave and a smile. He finds it easy to smile on Vashon, where people smile back.
On a recent Sunday morning in Burton, a group of Islanders crammed into the small, whitewashed fellowship hall behind Burton Community Church and sang hymn number 361, their cacophonous but spirited strains nearly drowning out the harp player at the front of the room. The words they sang, though, were not ones of worship, thankfulness or faith in God. “Open your ears to the song,” read the sufficiently vague hymn. “Today will be a joyful day. Enter, rejoice and come in.” Sundays at the Vashon
Island Unitarian Fellowship have all the trappings of a traditional church service: brightly colored programs, an inspirational message delivered from the pulpit and a coffee hour afterward when churchgoers mingle and eat pastries and children run around underfoot. But unlike most congregations, the 70 or so members of the Unitarian Fellowship don’t share a common religious belief. In fact, many of them don’t even believe in a higher power. “We’re open to all kinds of beliefs,” said Melvin Mackey, a longtime member of the SEE UNITARIANS, 12
A ferry worker celebrates life’s daily joys By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Staff Writer
Four mornings a week, the fleet of daily commuters heading to the mainland from Vashon’s north-end ferry dock roll past Bruce Brown, a ferry worker who directs them onto the waiting boat. He’s impossible to miss. Brown’s a big man — 6 feet 3 inches and of no small girth – cloaked in a fluorescent safety vest as he directs traffic onto the boat. But what distinguishes him most — and what makes him beloved to many islanders — is something extra that he does as he loads cars and passengers onto the boat. He smiles and waves to every person driving onto the boat. Walk-on passengers get even more attention — a friendly hello, an exultation about the weather, a personal greeting. “You’re doing good, you’ve got good karma,” he
shouted on a recent morning to a young man running down the dock, huffing and puffing as he tried not to miss the boat. “Thank you for hustling.” To a woman with a cold in the terminal waiting room, Brown offered a steady call and response of “bless you’s” to match each sneeze. A smile. A wave. An encouraging word. These are ordinary gestures, but when they are repeated, hundreds of times a day by a single person, they become extraordinary. And so say many island commuters. In fact, in conversations with more than a dozen islanders, not a single one failed to light up with a smile of his or her own when asked about Brown.

NEWS BRIEFS 1FSNJUUJOH BHFODZ UP PGGFS XFFLMZ TFSWJDF King County’s Department of Permitting and Environmental Review (DPER) will begin holding weekly office hours on Vashon, where officials will be on hand to take permit applications and answer questions. DPER, formerly the county’s Department of Development and Environmental Services (DDES), has had a monthly presence on the island. But officials have decided to maintain an on-island office that’s open once a week, starting next Tuesday, said Kim Laymen, DPER’s customer service supervisor. The office will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the county’s community service center in Courthouse Square. Three DPER employees — Greg Wessel, Pesha Klein and Steve Townsend — will rotate duty, providing general information and advice, property-specific information and application intake for a range of permit applications that do not require pre-application meetings, Laymen said. The increase in on-island hours was prompted by the agency’s recent move from Renton to Snoqualmie, Laymen said. The move made
sense for the agency, saving it money and putting it closer to its largest base in unincorporated King County. But some islanders complained about the increased distance for Vashon residents, Laymen said. Laymen said DPER wants to have “more of a presence on the island. ... We thought this would help the residents of Vashon to get the services they need.�

County Councilmember Joe McDermott, who chairs the ferry district’s board, said he supports the move. “It’s more efficient to have it part of the county,� he said. The move could save $200,000 a year, he said, funds that would go toward expanding service. The property tax currently earmarked for the ferry district — one-third of one cents per $1,000 of assessed value — would remain in place under the legislation, he added. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon and seven other House members, stands a strong chance of passing, McDermott said. Similar legislation was attempted last year. “I expect it to progress well,� McDermott said.

On Valentine’s Day afternoon Vashon town transformed into a festive and lively scene as more than 150 women, girls and a few boys danced in the U.S. Bank parking lot as part of a global movement to stand up to violence against women. The participants, many of whom have been practicing the choreography for weeks, danced to “Break the Chain,� a moving anthem on women’s rights. Many of the women donned colorful red or pink outfits and colorful scarves for the event and shouted out or sang along during the song. Amanda Winn, who has spent months organizing the Vashon event, said a few words to the large group of islanders who gathered to watch the event, telling how one in three women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime. Moved by that statistic, activist and writer Eve Ensler put out a call last year for the same number of women, 1 billion, to stand up and dance on Valentine’s Day. Towns and organizations from more than 200 countries put on their own One Billion Rising events. After the Vashon dance, a smaller group repeated the dance on the ferry on the way to join Seattle’s big event at Westlake Center.

Girls on Vashon work to help improve lives of girls in Kenya By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Several girls on Vashon have banded together, set their sights on Africa and are raising money to improve the lives of girls who belong to the Maasai tribe in Kenya. For more than a year, the girls have been meeting regularly and raising funds as part of MCI Girls to Girls — an offshoot of the Kenyabased Maasai Children’s Initiative (MCI). The girls — several freshman at Vashon High School and one sixthgrader at McMurray Middle School — have raised nearly $4,000, enough to build a playground at an MCIsupported school in Kenya and to begin a fund to bring two Maasai girls to Vashon this August. Their efforts have impressed Anne Atwell, a mother of two girls in the group and MCI’s director of development on Vashon, where the nonprofit organization has its U.S. office. Because of the Vashon girls’ efforts, she said, girls in Kenya’s Maasailand are benefiting, and, she added, the Vashon girls are reaping rewards as well. “Each girl has brought her own talents to bear on the project,� she said. “They all
believe in the cause, ‌ and they’re all having a lot of fun realizing their abilities.â€? The group was the brainchild of two mothers who thought their daughters and friends might be interested. They approached Atwell with the idea, who enthusiastically endorsed it. Now, it includes her daughters Kate and Clara and six other girls — all with a keen and growing interest in the lives of girls in Africa. “We wanted to get involved with what MCI is doing,â€? said ninth-grader Aubrey Kraabel, a stalwart of MCI Girls to Girls. “We wanted to get to know the girls in the schools and to raise money for the schools.â€? MCI supports two schools in Kenya, a day school for students in nursery school through grade three and a boarding school for students in nursery school through grade eight. The two schools fill a need in a part of the world where many girls aren’t able to attend school and by 14 are often married and pregnant. But when girls receive an education, Atwell said, their lives improve dramatically — as does the quality of life in their communities. In fact, research has shown repeatedly that providing educa-
tion for girls is the number one way to alleviate poverty throughout the world. Shortly after the Vashon group formed in January 2012, the girls began raising money to build a playground at one of the schools. Through bake sales and other fundraisers, they brought in $2,000, the goal for the project. The girls then looked toward funding a new goal, bringing in $1,000 from a booth at the Strawberry Festival and $500 by hosting an activity booth for young kids at the Sheepdog Classic in the fall. And in what may be the trip of a lifetime for some, four members of the Vashon group traveled to Kenya last summer and saw firsthand the value the Maasai students place on education. The girls brought this lesson back with them; students in this country often complain about their homework, the Vashon girls noted, but that was far from the case at MCI’s schools. Kate Atwell, one of the girls who took the trip, said she was impressed with how inspired every student was to learn. “They were all very proud to be there, and knew they were accomplishing a lot,� she said.

Girls in the MCI group are, clockwise from top left, Audrey Benner, Aubrey Kraabel, Kate Atwell, Taryn Mulvihill, Clara Atwell, Tess Mueller, Hannah Van Dusen and Silvia Henley. Not pictured are Rayana Weller and Natalie Van Devanter. Aubrey Kraabel also went on the trip and was struck by the quality of education. She had expected it to be less than it is in this country, an assumption that turned out to be wrong, she said. “We got there, and it was more like they were teaching us,� she said. “We thought it would be the other way around.� The trip inspired the girls to strive to raise funds for their current goal: to bring two Maasai girls to this country and host them while they are on Vashon.

With $1,500 in the bank, they hope to raise another $1,500 by June. “We want to give them the opportunity they gave us,� Kate Atwell said. To that end, Aubrey Kraabel plans to cook a multi-course meal for donors with the help of caterer Sheri Hamlow, set for March 9 at the home of islander Matt Bergman, who co-founded MCI. The other girls will help with the remaining work the evening will entail. The girls also hope to host a bake sale later this spring and possibly a fun run, with donations and sponsorships all benefiting their cause. In the coming months, they plan to solidify the
workings of their group so they can expand and be a model for other students interested in forming their own Girls to Girls group. Already, there is interest from as far away as The Netherlands, Anne Atwell said. When asked what drew them to this cause, the girls gave different answers, but similar themes ran through them. Vashon does not have much diversity, many noted, and through their work, they can change the lives of girls just like them but who live seemingly a world away. “It’s better to help and do something even if you’ve not experienced it,� Aubrey said. “Because, really, it could have been you.�

New pizza restaurant slated to open in April By LESLIE BROWN Staff Writer
A pizzeria that will fire made-to-order pies in a brick oven in 60 to 90 seconds is slated to open in April at the former site of Movie Magic. Keith Bakker, a Vashon resident with a long background in the restaurant business, says his eatery will be called Saucy Sisters, named for his wife Susan Bakker, who works at Vashon High School, and her sister Vicky Eiselin, who will manage the eatery. It will be styled in the fashion of Chipotle or Qdoba, two popular restaurant chains that have a brisk counter business and allow customers to pick and choose from a wide selection of items in creating their entrees, he said. Standing in the middle of his gutted building last week, Bakker sounded an enthusiastic note as he described the concept. The restaurant will specialize in individual pizzas, 10 inches in size, with toppings and dough type — whole wheat, white or gluten-free — selected by the custom-

er, he said. Hand-tossed salads will also be on the menu. Beer and wine will be served. And for those who like sodas, Saucy Sisters will have a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine, featuring more than 100 varieties and flavors, he said. “It’s the latest thing,� he said of the soda machine. Bakker, 57, comes to the business with considerable experience in what he calls quick-serve restaurants, known in the industry by the acronym QSR. He owned two Chuck E. Cheese restaurants and a Take ‘n’ Bake. Most recently, he was director of franchise performance for Burger King, working with franchises in eight Western states. “I’ve been in the service business all my life,� he said. But his franchise background, he said, doesn’t mean he’s trying to create a fast-food restaurant that’s chain-like in appearance. “It’s going to be anything but a QSR,� he said. The restaurant’s specialty pizzas will have Vashoninspired names — like the

Other pizzas will be customized, using fresh ingredients, he added. There will be seating for up to 48 people at tables and counters, as well as a brisk take-out business, he hopes. “This is an original, a one-of-a-kind,� he said. “We’re promoting individuality, and Vashon does, too.� Bakker bought the building in December after he and his wife searched for
a business to purchase on Vashon — efforts that didn’t pan out. The goal is to run a business that “gives back to the community,� he said. He plans to hold fundraisers and provide other kinds of community support. Bakker, a father of two, also hopes his restaurant will be both teen- and family-friendly. His youngest son, Kyle, a football player, graduated from Vashon High School two years ago. Bakker said he imagines staying open

Moorage plan will improve Quartermaster
Find a guide to health and wellness inside this issue
As steward and manager of 2.6 million acres of stateowned aquatic lands, including Quartermaster Harbor, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) ensures public access, protects the state’s marine waters and issues leases for water-related activities — such as mooring buoys. Two years ago, we began working with boaters and Vashon-Maury Island community members to find ways to safely, sustainably and legally improve moorage opportunities in Quartermaster Harbor. Why do we need a mooring buoy plan? Quartermaster Harbor is a marine haven for wildlife and people and part of the 5,350-acre Maury Island Environmental Aquatic Reserve, which DNR designated in 2004. The protected waters support extensive spawning grounds for herring, attract thousands of migrating birds each year and provide a permanent home for dozens of species, including shellfish, heron and bald eagles. These same waters are unsurpassed in central Puget Sound for providing safe moorage and protection for longtime local boaters and other boaters who are increasingly discovering Quartermaster Harbor as a quiet anchorage. The scenario playing out in Quartermaster Harbor is similar to other harbors and bays throughout Puget Sound: Increased demand for access and moorage raises concerns for navigational safety as more and more boats try to squeeze into a finite space. More congestion in anchorages also threatens sensitive marine ecosystems, such as the extensive network of eelgrass beds found throughout the harbor. We know the boating community watches out for one another. Informal, neighborly assistance
Vashon is blessed by an abundance of health care professionals, and nothing shows our fortunate wealth as much as the latest publication of The Beachcomber’s Health & Wellness Guide. The 48-page directory is tucked within each issue of this week’s paper. Hang on to it, as it has a lot of shelf life. Islanders can find listings for the kind of practitioners one might expect in such a guide — physicians, physical therapy, chiropractors, nurse practitioners. But we’ve attempted to define health care broadly, as many on Vashon do as well. And thus one will find a range of professionals who provide complimentary care or services not so easily pigeon-holed — naturopaths, doulas and midwives, massage therapists, counselors, herbalists, those who provide end-of-life services and more. We’ve attempted to offer a complete guide, though of course not every single practitioner responded to our offer of a free listing. Still, we believe the directory is very nearly comprehensive — a great resource to islanders at various stages of life. So whether you’re preparing for your first child or coping with the aches and pains of aging, we hope islanders find it useful, easy to read and complete. And a special thank you to Dr. Leif Rasmussen for sponsoring the publication and to Beachcomber staff member Susan Riemer, who corralled countless practitioners for inclusion in the guide. Here’s to our health.
Attend Saturday’s meeting on the fields project Members of the Vashon Park District board have sounded the right note: It’s time to figure out a plan for completing the fields project north of town. And then to execute it. Lots of problems have dogged the project, not all of which were the park district’s fault. At the same time, the small agency, as commissioners have pointed out in recent public meetings, got in over its head. But finger-pointing is not what’s needed now. What’s needed is a plan that makes sense — a path that will enable the park district to complete the project and to do so in time to secure more than $150,000 in state grants. It’s important to remember what’s at stake — not only state funds but also a project that’s inherently positive for Vashon. Once completed, these fields will provide another venue for people, both young and old, to get exercise, have fun and build community. We commend Commissioner John Hopkins for advocating for this meeting, for working with his colleagues Lu-Ann Branch and Joe Wald to make it happen and for recruiting Craig Beles to provide his skilled facilitation services pro bono. We hope many people — representatives of user groups, parents of young athletes, community activists and more — attend. And we hope for a positive outcome.
CONSERVATION By MEGAN DUFFY has worked in the past when someone’s boat broke loose or sank. However, the best intentions of good Samaritans haven’t been able to keep up with the number of abandoned and derelict vessels and buoys that are growing more commonplace in the harbor and throughout Puget Sound. To help address these issues, DNR developed the draft Quartermaster Harbor Mooring Buoy Management Plan. During the draft plan development, DNR met with community members at three workshops on Vashon and asked for feedback on the draft plan, which went out for public review in late November. The draft plan accommodates buoys for waterfront residences and designates specific mooring buoy fields, primarily in the more congested areas of Dockton and Burton. Many boaters told us that we weren’t allowing for enough mooring buoys to accommodate future use. Based on what we heard, we will increase the mooring buoys from 73 to 126 in the proposed mooring buoy fields in Dockton, Burton and east of Judd Creek. Another source of boater concern is the plan’s requirement for all mooring buoys to be helical anchor systems with midline floats. While these embedded anchor systems cost more upfront, they are better at holding boats in place and require much less “scope� (length of line or chain from the vessel to the anchor).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
STAFF PUBLISHER: ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR: CIRCULATION:
With helical anchor systems, the harbor can accommodate a higher density of vessels. In addition, these anchors don’t crush or displace habitat and sediments. Some suggested that other embedded anchor systems might be just as effective, and possibly cheaper, as helical anchor systems. The final plan will consider allowing other embedded anchor systems, as long as they can provide the needed holding power while allowing space for an optimal number of buoys and protecting the seafloor. So what’s now in store? In the next several weeks, we plan to release the revised final plan. DNR will then apply for necessary regulatory permits needed to carry out the plan. And in the next few months, DNR will begin removing abandoned and derelict buoys and floating structures that limit shoreline access to waterfront property and that pose potential navigational hazards and environmental degradation. I’d like to thank everyone who came to one or all of our workshops on Vashon or provided their feedback on the Quartermaster Harbor Mooring Buoy Management Plan by contacting the agency directly. Together, we have an opportunity to sustain Quartermaster Harbor as a recreational boating haven, while also protecting the unique wildlife and environmental features that led to the state’s designation of the Maury Island Environmental Aquatic Reserve.

Certain truths linger from one generation to the next
,FZ VTFS HSPVQT OFFE UP Old family photos QBZ GPS UIF QSPKFDU Historically, the Vashon Park suggest times District’s commissioners worked change — and cooperatively with special interest groups to enhance and some things don’t improve park property for the benefit of the sponsoring group and the greater island community. Projects that have followed this model to a good outcome include the equestrian course and covered arena at Paradise Ridge Park, the boathouse at Jenson Point, the renovation of many structures at Point Robinson Park and much work done successfully at BARC. This long-standing and successful financial structure placed the burden for funding these community projects squarely on the sponsoring group. In every case, the park commissioners wisely decided to forestall construction until most of the money to pay for the project was in hand and then to work in conjunction with the sponsoring organization to undertake the project. I propose that the park commissioners return to this tried and true method of working with key constituency groups to finish the VES fields project. I ask that no further capital outlays be made from general operating funds until the Vashon Youth Baseball and Softball organization and other VES fields users raise sufficient funds to cover the costs of such improvements that they may wish to make. — CC Stone
On the kitchen counter on a recent Saturday morning, buried under drifts of schoolwork, grocery store circulars, sports bottles and two crude ceramic objets d’ art that have occupied the same spot on the counter for two years without explanation, I uncovered a large watercolor on an oversized sheet of white paper, pasted to an even larger black construction paper backing. It was a stylized depiction of a fruit tree, its edges etched too sharply to have been brushed free-hand, with curly green leaves and dirt-brown trunk, dotted with matching green apples seemingly suspended in air and neatly colorized with brilliant hunks of thick paint. On each apple was one of our children’s names written in black pen. I recognized it as a family tree, lettered in the style of an oldfashioned sampler and most likely related to our youngest daughter’s recent studies of the colonial era in early America. I imagined it prominently displayed as part of a Colonial Times exhibit, staffed by a pair of giggling girls in long, safety-pinned dresses and gingham bonnets, answering canned questions about women’s
FAMILY LIFE By KEVIN POTTINGER work in early America. At the base of the family tree was a hydra of snaky brown roots and my wife Maria’s name intertwined with mine in big block letters, adorned with several lovey-dovey red hearts shot through with arrows. Below our double-bill marquee, written carefully across the page in thick black marker, were the words “Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right.� I found that our youngest boy had painted a family tree as well, as part of the same Colonial Times project at school. It had the same stenciled and colorized family tree at the top, the same “Kevin and Maria� in 40-point second-grade scrawl at the roots of the tree, and a clever phrase in large stitch-style letters rendered in magic marker below our names. Reading from top to bottom, practical wisdom became snide commentary. “Kevin and Maria: A Fool and His Money Are Soon Parted.� They had most likely learned that in the colonial era, women embroidered samplers to show off
their stitching skill, often using family trees as a subject, sometimes combined with short, clever, practical truths. They’d been supplied a list of several candidate phrases. I’m glad they hadn’t chosen “Kevin and Maria: A Stitch in Time Saves Nine.� Because we have only four children. In our front hall, Maria has artfully hung black-and-white copies of copper plates and tintypes from her ancestral family tree — great-, great-great- or near-great-grandparents and their posses, dour Germans or pre-Abba Swedes posing for pictures, scowling and uncomfortable in their best clothes that probably buttoned up a little tighter with each passing year. Their disapproving glares seem to follow us down the hallway, keeping watchful eyes peeled for monkey-shines, hanky-panky or other deficits of sensible discipline. My favorite photo in the montage is of Maria’s dad’s family, Memorial Day, 1954. It looks to have been taken right after church; everyone’s all dressed up in dark wool suits and hats, on an apparently hot and humid late-spring holiday in northcentral Illinois. Maria’s grandparents, Joe and LaVaun, look to be in their late 30s, while Maria’s dad is a boy of 10, surrounded by seven grinning brothers and sisters with identical buck teeth and black
glasses. Joe, the dad, holds a baby girl in a frilly white outfit out in front of him, as if he’s discovered something alarming in her diaper. He’s frowning impatiently at the camera. I recognize that impatient frown from my personal toolkit of useful dad expressions. Perhaps he’d been working until 2 in the morning the night before, and it hurts a little to blink. Maybe the women in his family had talked him into posing for this picture after church and now he finds himself standing in an asphalt parking lot baking in the hot sun in his best wool suit, holding his beautiful new baby daughter with some sort of flaming zeppelin in her diaper while the photographer takes his time with the camera. Conversely, his wife LaVaun beams enthusiastically, with a mouthful of white stars and a grin so embracing and seemingly genuine that by some ineluctable law of family physics her smile completely neutralizes Joe’s impatient scowl. I married someone with a smile like that. The apple seldom falls far from the tree. Kind words turneth away wrath. And a glass might be half full, but a diaper is never half empty. — Kevin Pottinger and his wife Maria live near Portage with their four children.

one so aptly put it at Minglement the other day, my view of the social landscape has been changed. Yes, it has. I am fortunate to have such a strong support system, including my family and close friends, both on and off the island. My husband, Eric, continues to feed my soul (even after 18 years) with his astounding surprises, attentiveness and care. And Kelli and I continue to be a wonderful support for each other, having experienced the “before, during and after� of this incident together. Thank you, Vashon. I look forward to coming back from this a stronger person, able to contribute with a new dimension, as I participate in this community I call home. Sincerely, Lu-Ann Branch
You are Icarus
Know that every hug I have received, in whatever form, has been instrumental in helping me to come back from this crazy thing. Those of you that have shared your own experiences of trauma and how you have coped are especially appreciated. I have gotten so many amazing tips, many times from people I don’t even know. Sitting in the Vashon Athletic Club hot tub has been a rather unexpected venue for a large number of those tips.
I never met you, Ryan, but I know you. You are Icarus. You spread your golden wings and flew toward the sun. You used all the gifts that you were given: Your fine mind, your athletic body, your golden curls, curls Michelangelo carved for his David. Lyrical music flowed from the complex and haunting instrument you mastered. Friends and family were warmed and graced in your presence. You are Icarus. Your youthful journey took your golden wings too close to the edge. Your wings flashed, then burned. But, while falling back, toward the earth; you caught in the gleaming gold of sun! There is terrible grief, here on this island, Vashon; the island you called home. There is terrible grief here. But we would rather bear this grief, than ever to have known you at all. I honor you. I wish I had met you when you were here. But I know you. You are Icarus. Our beautiful winged boy, our golden boy, our sun!
My physical wounds are healing relatively quickly, but the rest will take some time. As some-

Dear Vashon Community, I’d just like to express what an amazing community I live in! I could never have even fathomed how many people would email, text, call or leave voicemails, or stop me in person here on the island to express their concern about my attack. I have attempted to get back to everyone, but there are so many, I am sure I have unintentionally overlooked a few; my apologies.

Academy Awards 2013
A night when the stars come out on Vashon
O
ne of Vashon’s liveliest parties is coming up — Vashon Film Society’s annual Oscar Night bash at the Vashon Theatre, set to start at 4 p.m. Sunday with rides around the block in a classic British limousine and a swarm of local “paparazzi� snapping photos as guests arrive on the red carpet.
This is the group’s 16th year of hosting the gala — a chance for Islanders to dress up like movie stars or their favorite film characters and plunk down in theater seats for hours on end to watch the awards show. At the event, the on-screen Hollywood glitz always clashes nicely with the campy, down-home feeling of a dress-up party — one of the reasons, no doubt, that the night is well attended by folks of all ages. During the commercial breaks of the Oscar show, a costume contest takes place on stage, with awards in almost a dozen categories, including “best pajamas.â€? This year’s hosts are Tami Brockway Joyce and Jennifer Sutherland. Elizabeth Ripley, Elizabeth Nye and John Staczek have been tapped to judge the costumes. Snapdragon Bakery and CafĂŠ is catering the event for the first time, and Julie Farrell of Tease Chocolates will be on hand with artisan confections. Wine sales will benefit the Vashon Maury Community Food Bank — George and Linda Kirkish of Palouse Winery are contributing their award-winning wines to the festivities. The night will also feature a tribute to the Wolcott family, a clan celebrating its 10th anniversary of owning the Vashon Theatre. Led by matriarch Eileen Wolcott, the fam-

The film, said organizer Leslie McMichael, will “sum up the Wolcotts’ eventful decade of providing movies, filmmaker events and premieres, comedy, concerts and birthday parties.�
SLEIGHT OF HAND MAGIC AT OPEN SPACE Magician Joey Pipia, considered a master showman and comedian who puts on a fastpaced show, will perform at Open Space for Arts and Community on Saturday. His show begins at 8 p.m. This is a return visit for Pipia, a Port Townsend resident who will perform his newest show, called “Delusions of Grandeur.� The 75-minute performance, he says in a press release, will feature “straightup magic presented without fancy boxes, smoke or mirrors.� Pipia has had a long career as a magician, appearing in films, on TV and on stages across the country. He’s a performer, writer and producer of the legendary Stage Left Vaudeville Show at the Oregon Country Fair. He also performs at the International Moisture Festival and tours regularly with The New Old Time Chautauqua and The Flying Karamazov Brothers.
His escape from a straight jacket while hanging 80 feet above Water Street in downtown Port Townsend was featured on Seattle NPR’s “KUOW Presents.� “See this show, live happily ever after,� said Jake Seniuk, Director of The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, who has booked Pipia to perform at his venue. “He’s an imp, a wizard with a sixth sense.� The magician has his local admirers, too. “He’s a pro,� said Kevin Joyce, a wellknown island impresario, singer and performer. Recalling how he had once witnessed Pipia perform a trick where he seemed to swallow shards of broken glass, Joyce said, “He created a huge sensation.� Tickets to the show are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors and children. Purchase them online at www.brownpapertickets.com, or pick them up at Vashon Bookshop or at the door on the night of the show.
Oscar Night begins with limo rides from 4 to 5 p.m. for $10 per person. Entrance to the show is $10 in advance, $12 at the door.

church. “Instead of telling people what to believe, we ask what their beliefs are and try to learn from one another.� The church’s minister, Rev. Carmen McDowell, agreed. Vashon’s Unitarian church provides a spiritual experience with no strings attached. “Most people are looking for a community, a place to belong and make a difference,� she said. “We are really clear about that. You don’t have to buy into a creed.� Many church members do have their own religious or spiritual beliefs, and they discuss them openly each month at small group meetings that the wider Unitarian Universalist church traditionally calls Building Your Own Theology. The Vashon congregants, who McDowell said are a playful bunch, call the meetings Bring Your Own Belief System, or BYOBS. “They’re very joyful, I’ve noticed that about them,� McDowell said. “That might be a Vashon thing, but there’s sort of a happy vibe. Every single Sunday is like a party.� Indeed, there was a positive energy at that recent Sunday in Lewis Hall, a small building the church rents from Burton Community Church. Visitors packed closely in rows of mismatched chairs, with a few spilling into couches in the back. During a “joys and concerns� sharing time at the beginning of the service, a long line of people lit candles and shared mostly joys. One woman said she was thankful to have recently turned 70. A mother told a story about the church’s kindness toward her child. And a man who commutes to Seattle spoke about the inter-

Carmen McDowell. esting plants he sees on his walk to work. “This takes a lot of time out the service, but it’s extremely important,� a woman whispered to the visitor sitting next to her. The title of the morning’s sermon, printed in bold letters on the front of a bright red program, was “Sex, Salad Dressing and Stewardship.� The message lived up to its name as McDowell, a friendly 45-year old minister with a keen sense of humor, delivered a lighthearted but sincere talk on giving, using actor and salad dressing philanthropist Paul Newman as an example. Weekly sermons at the church — sometimes given by McDowell and other times by members or guest speakers — vary greatly, McDowell said in an interview. She speaks on topics such as being authentic or navigating life’s challenges, always drawing from a wide variety of religious writings.

Lately McDowell has brought even less conventional sources of wisdom into the hall on Sunday morning. “Some of the great stories are in movies, Ted Talks, Facebook. Why would we not bring that in, try to balance out the ancient stuff?� she said. The concept has apparently been popular. Last week there were laughs all around when McDowell showed a video about people who planted flowers in unexpected places. Recently, youth at the church helped put on a multigenerational service with a “zombie apocalypse� theme, where McDowell spoke of the Buddhist idea of wakefulness. “There are all these cultural forces that cause us to sleepwalk through life like zombies,� she said. “How do we resist that and how do we be prepared?� The Unitarian Universalist church was formed in 1961 when
denominations by those two names merged. The church’s ideas, however, date back to the Protestant Reformation of the 1500s, when early Unitarian thinkers rejected some of the basic tenets of Christianity, including the holy trinity and the divinity of Jesus. In the United States, Unitarians have been active in all of the social change movements — including abolitionism, women’s suffrage and civil rights. The faith expanded over the years by activists who thought it was more important to stand together in demanding equal rights than quibble over theology. “They said, ‘We don’t need to have arguments about whether Jesus is divine. We need to have arguments about whether to abolish slavery or make it possible for women to vote,’� McDowell said. Today’s Unitarian Universalists differ from congregation to congregation, but most share the belief that all religions can provide some connection to the spiritual realm and that love and individual worth triumph over doctrine. Unitarians have been ordaining women since the 1850s, and homosexuals since the 1970s “It’s just this wide, hospitable embrace of all people,� McDermott said.� McDowell, who lives in North Seattle with her husband and teenage daughter, was raised in a Southern Baptist Church and became a Unitarian as an adult. She still considers herself a Christian, though she prefers to say “follower of Christ.� At the Vashon fellowship, she said, most members would likely identify themselves as humanists. But in true Unitarian style, there are also some Buddhists, Christians, agnostics and even athesiests among the congregation. When asked how people with seemingly conflicting beliefs

could sit under the same roof each Sunday, McDowell used an image described by Unitarian author Forrest Church. Church asked people to think of the world as a giant cathedral with a large stained-glass window. Everyone looks at the same window, he said, but they see different parts of it depending on where they are in the cathedral. “We’re seeing different angles on that window, but the light behind it is universal,� McDowell said. McDowell, who earned a master of divinity degree from the Seattle University’s School of Theology, often tells people that the most important concepts in the Unitarian faith are “that love is greater than fear and that every person is precious and unique,� she said. “We can find a deeper unity beneath all the world religions and the teachings of all time that has to do with these two messages,� she said. Today’s Unitarians have a strong social justice bent — the seven principles they promote have much to do with compassion and equity. Worldwide, Unitarians have become known for their strong support of gay rights, reproductive rights, environmental protection and immigration reform. The Vashon fellowship takes a special offering for a different island nonprofit each month, and many members are active in local immigration reform efforts, participating in monthly vigils at the Northwest Detention Center, a prison in Tacoma where many immigrants are held. Some have also visited with inmates and taken steps to get them and their families legal and financial support.

event at the Vashon Theatre in support of same-sex marriage. And last week the church teamed up with Burton Community Church to put on a wedding ceremony and marriage equality celebration, an idea McDowell had after the passage of Referendum 74, which legalized gay marriage. “We were trying to think of a way to have fun and say thank you. And also anyone who wanted to get married, let’s do that too,� she said. The Vashon Island Unitarian Fellowship dates back to the 1950s, when a small group placed an ad in the paper and began meeting in homes. By 1963, the congregation had grown considerably and purchased the building that once housed the Cove Methodist Church. According to church history, it was there that the now famous “wine in sanctuary� argument occurred after attendants of regular spaghetti dinners went into the church sanctuary with wine in hand to continue socializing.
Membership eventually declined, and in the 1970s and 80s the congregation again met in homes and other island locations. In recent years the congregation has experience a revitalization, moving into Lewis Hall and hiring McDowell as a part-time developmental minister, meaning one of her primary goals is to grow the congregation. Since McDowell came on about eight months ago, the church has nearly doubled its weekly attendance and quadrupled the number of children in its Sunday classes. “I didn’t know a community like this existed,� said Donna Klemka, who joined the church a few years ago. Klemka called her own spiritual journey a “work in progress,� but said the fellowship was a wonderful place to “take time every week to pay attention to our spiritual selves.� Paul and Greg Kirkpatrick recently began attending the Unitarian church after they heard some moms talking about it at a soccer

game. The same-sex couple knew they’d be welcomed, they said, but more importantly they wanted their three adopted children to start thinking about their own spiritual beliefs. The Unitarian church has made growing its children’s program a priority in recent years, and “religious exploration� classes now draw about 20 elementary and middle schoolers each week. “I don’t want anything to be imposed on them,� Greg Kirkpatrick said. “I want them to form their own religious belief system.� As for McDowell, she said she’s working on her next sermon series, focused on the Unitarians’ seven principles. She might show the music video to Katy Perry’s popular song “Firework� in a message about the first principle, the inherent worth and dignity of each person. The pop star’s video shows people overcoming a raft of insecurities, from weight to sexual identity. “That little video is a sermon all by itself,� McDowell said.

Two VHS wrestlers take medals at state By CHERYL PRUETT For The Beachcomber
The Vashon Pirates sent six wrestlers to the 25th annual Mat Classic state competition last Friday and Saturday at the Tacoma Dome. After the first round of action, they had won five matches, four of them by pin, and were on a roll. Two finished in the medals: Shane Armstrong, third, and Preston Morris, second. The young squad gained a lot of valuable experience and has a solid base to build on for next year, said Coach Anders Blomgren. He added that he was pleased with the team’s performance and thrilled to have a representative in the finals. “What an amazing season. We
made so many improvements each week, thanks to all the team members’ selflessness and desire to improve,� he said. Noting the special achievements of Armstrong and Morris, Blomgren added, “They’ve done their time and are reaping their rewards for their off-season training.� Who made it to state? Here’s a look. Chase Wickman (freshman, 106 pounds) has been wrestling since he was six years old. He spent all of this season 10 to 12 pounds lighter and eight inches shorter than all of his opponents, but that didn’t seem to slow him down. In his first state competition, he won his first match, up 4-0 in the first 15 seconds, and pinned his opponent with 7 seconds to go in the first round. His last oppo-

Preston Morris, left, second place, and Shane Armstrong, third place, flash smiles after winning medals at state. nent, a classy competitor from Forks who barely hung on to beat him 5-3, told Wickman after the match that with 10 more pounds, he’d be the state champ. He’s the one everyone will be watching next season. Shane Armstrong (junior, 170 pounds) began wrestling in the seventh grade and has become one of the state’s premier wrestlers. This year marked his third trip to the state competition. In his first match, he pinned his opponent from Kettle Falls in the third round and won his next match 13-5 against his counterpart from Zillah. Moving on to day two, he lost a power brawl to Adam Collins of Chewelah, 7-5, then came back up through the backside of the bracket, beating Cody Harvill of Omak, 14-12, in overtime. He faced Anthony Louthan of Montesano in the battle for third place, winning 6-3. Preston Morris (junior, 195 pounds) went into this year’s state
competition as the number-one seed. He has been wrestling since the sixth grade and has made a name for himself on the mat. This was his second year at the state meet; he finished fourth last year. He emerged victorious in his first three matches — beating his Chewelah opponent, 4-1; taking on Eli Galeno of Granger and winning 6-2; then engaging in an old-fashioned pushing match against Greg Heinen of Connell, winning 4-2. This put him in the finals for the first time in his career. It was a nailbiter all the way as he battled Abidan Duarte of Granger, losing by a single point, 2-1, and placing second at state. Joe Coller (sophomore, 220 pounds) is a relative beginner; this year marked his third in wrestling. Even so, he has already been a state participant two times, an amazing feat. Coller won his first match, pinning his opponent from Zillah in the first round. Tougher matches followed, knocking him
out of the tournament but giving “Joey Blue Socks� valuable experience to build on for next year. A.J. Sawyer (senior, 220 pounds) capped an excellent senior season with a trip to State for the second time. His opening brawl was veritable slap fest before he put the hammer down and pinned his Warden counterpart in round one. He fought hard but lost the next two and was out, but enjoyed his time at State and added valuable team points to the effort. Louis Jovanovich (junior, 285 pounds) is indisputably the support backbone of his team who many players turn to. He is there to pick up the beaten and congratulate the victor. In just his third year wrestling, he made his second trip to State. Facing tough competition from Warden and Chewelah, he was out after two matches, but looks to be the one to take it all next year. — Cheryl Pruett is the parent of two Pirate wrestlers.

But the team took issue with the way the commissioners handled the agency’s finances and oversaw its fields project north of town and several times noted they failed to follow state laws or administer according to best practices. They also noted the park district’s dire financial situation and questioned the commissioners’ decision to cover the shortfall by borrowing money. “In December 2012, the district did not have sufficient funds to repay a $404,000 bank loan, make $66,484 bond debt payments and pay about $70,000 of outstanding bills,� the draft audit report states. “To meet its immediate cash needs, the district obtained a credit line from a bank and used $200,000 of it.� Had the district prepared timely financial statements, the commissioners would have discovered they were heading into difficult terrain and been able to “make meaningful decisions,� the report states.

“When tax and other revenues fell short of projections, the commissioners did not take timely action to adjust revenue expectations and reduce costs,� the report adds. Both in the report and in their comments to the board, the auditors encouraged the commissioners to end their practice of borrowing money to cover regular operating expenses. The practice “is not advisable,� Potapenko told the board. Should lenders balk, he said, “Who’s going to bail you out?� But when Potapenko encouraged the board to develop a reserve large enough to cover 30 to 60 days of park district operations, Commissioner Bill Ameling bristled, suggesting that “squirreling away� taxpayers’ money is not a good idea. “Have you ever run a park district?� Ameling asked, a comment that provoked both gasps and laughter from the audience. “In all due respect,� Ameling added, “I think you’re crossing the line and talking about something you don’t have experience with.� The auditors also expressed concerns about
the way the park district has handled the fields project next to The Harbor School, a project that is behind schedule and over budget, according to the latest figures provided by park district staff. The park district received a $500,000 grant from the state, certifying in a letter submitted to the state that it had $628,876 in matching funds — the required match for the project — and that the funds were “ready and available.� But in fact, the report states, “The district did not have the matching funds on hand.� What’s more, the auditors said, the district did not follow laws governing the administration of a public works project, choosing to act as the project’s general manager and splitting the work into smaller pieces, apparently to avoid competitive bid requirements. The district hired a construction consultant “with no prior experience managing government construction projects.� And when it awarded a bid for earth-moving work, it chose the highest of the two bidders, “contrary to state law,� the report said.

.FFUJOH DBMMFE UP QMBO GJFMET QSPKFDU The Vashon Park District, at commissioner John Hopkins’ urging, will hold a special meeting to discuss how to complete the agency’s multimillion-dollar fields project next to The Harbor School. The public meeting, which will be facilitated by islander Craig Beles, will take place from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday at Ober Park. Commissioners Joe Wald, who chairs the fivemember board, Lu-Ann Branch and Hopkins plan to attend. Hopkins said he hopes representatives from those groups with the biggest stake in the fields project — baseball, soccer and lacrosse — will attend. The goal, he said, is to emerge from the meeting with “an agreement on the best option to achieve our goal — playable fields that meet the state requirements so that we can get our grants.� The agency needs to establish a timeline, milestones and a budget and build into the project plenty of oversight. “We want to follow the law and have enough money to keep a schedule,� he added. Hopkins said he’s optimistic, in part because several community activists are working with the district to help it complete the project. “The people who are working on this are surprisingly dedicated and open,� he said.

the meeting, Commissioner David Hackett told the auditors that the park district “had some problems and got in over our heads.� But he and Ameling both questioned the auditors’ findings that it was wrong to split up the big project into smaller pieces. “We might be guilty of not crossing all the ‘t’s’ and not dotting all the ‘i’s,’ but there’s no evidence that anyone was harmed,� Ameling told Potapenko. When he worked as a general contractor, Ameling said, he routinely added 10 to 15 percent to the project’s costs. By the park district acting as the general contractor, Ameling asked, “Is it possible we saved the taxpayers 10 to 15 percent?� “I doubt it,� Potapenko answered. “If you decide to do another public works project, you might want to familiarize yourself with public works laws,� he added. The commissioners, in a printed response included in the auditors’ draft report, said they believe the auditors’ statements about the bidding process and cash available for the project were incorrect. Staff turnover at the agency, the commissioners noted, “greatly hampered the ability of VPD to respond to audit questions.� “The records of the

commission for 26 years, seemed frustrated by the audit, which will cost the park district $10,000. In an email he sent out prior to Tuesday’s meeting, he blamed The Beachcomber and a group of citizens that has become active in park district affairs for the audit. And just before the auditors left Tuesday night, he said to them, “Can we get a partial refund if we didn’t think it was worth $10,000?� But other commissioners said the process was helpful. Lu-Ann Branch, the board’s vice-chair, called the audit “a good catalyst for conversation� and a process that will help the park district move forward. “There was no criminal intent. There never was. There never has been,� she added. “I’m certainly not happy with how the fields project was managed, but now we’re in the process of fixing it and moving forward.� Hackett, in comments emailed to The Beachcomber, said the audit highlighted what he believes was the park district’s greatest shortcoming — “poor financial systems and marginal management. I am very happy that we have taken definitive steps to address these problems.� Joe Wald, the commission’s chair, did not return telephone calls or an email query. Meanwhile, John Hopkins, the board’s newest commissioner, called for a special meeting to be held Saturday to try to establish a plan and timeline for completing the fields project. Tuesday night, after several members of the audience sparred with commissioners over the audit findings, Hopkins stood up. “We need to move forward,� he said to applause. “Let’s get the job done. Let’s stop bickering.�

boat to her job at a Subway in Seattle, said she found Brown’s presence on the dock a constant source of inspiration. “He’s always smiling and waving, even in the rain,� she said. “He brightens my day no matter what my mood is.� Chad Anderson, who commutes daily to Seattle, also enthused about Brown. He said he especially relishes the times he gets on a ferry with his children and Brown is there to direct them onto the boat. “It has become our ritual to roll our windows down and give him the happiest of hellos right back,� he said. “We look forward to it, and as a father, I use those times as an opportunity to teach my kids that no matter what you do for a living, do it with a smile.� Tom Rantz, who is Brown’s supervisor on the dock, said simply, “I wish we could clone him.� Brown’s good cheer is even more remarkable considering his work schedule. Three nights a week, he leaves his home in Port Orchard for his own commute on an 11:05 p.m. Southworth boat, arriving on Vashon in time to start a midnight to 10

a.m. shift. Then on Saturdays his work schedule is turned upside down: He works a day shift, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. And although his near-constant smile and unlined faced make him look much younger, Brown is 56 years old. So what is Brown’s secret? On a recent morning, Brown settled on a bench outside the terminal to talk about his life. He began by marveling at the good weather — it was 45 degrees and drizzling at the time, with deep banks of grey clouds covering the sky like a lid. Referring to the mist as “liquid sunshine,� Brown said the Northwest’s chilly weather had an upside. “It keeps the population down,� he said with the chuckle that peppers much of his conversation. He’s lived in the region for years, but he grew up as a military kid on bases all over the world, completing much of his education at an international school in the Philippines. In 1976, he joined the Navy and spent 22 years stationed at Naval Base Kitsap as a boatswain mate, where he had a job working on the USS Rainier, a combat support ship. He retired from the Navy in July 2001, but he said he kept a bag packed after the attacks of 9/11. “I was ready to return,� he said. But Brown was never recalled to service,

and instead, he set out to find a new career to support his family. He’s the father of three grown children and a boy who is still at home, a 13-year-old whom he calls his “miracle baby.� When he saw a job posting for the Washington State Ferries, he put in an application and was hired in 2002 to work on call as a ticket taker and parking attendant at different docks. He said he loved the job right away. “That was easy,� he said. “I got to go home at night.� He first starting waving at passengers, he said, on the Point Defiance dock. Actually, he clarified, he began by waving back. “It started with small children in the backseat,� he explained. “It’s a big boat ride for them, and it’s exciting, and some of them would wave at me, and I’d wave back. Once I discovered how infectious it was, I kept doing it. We need that human connection more, beyond the normal courtesies we grew up with.� Brown says much of the pleasure of waving at passengers is all his. “I get much more from it than people could ever imagine,� he said, adding that he loves it when passengers return his greetings. “I find it exciting,� he said. “They’re getting the message.�
His positive outlook came from his mother, now deceased. “My mother was truly my best friend,� he said. “She was a great influence who taught us that everything occurs in your life for a reason, and you find out the advantages of it.� Brown has worked exclusively on Vashon for the past five years, and he said that the island is an easy place to smile. He’s gotten to know many commuters personally, and when his work scheduled has allowed, he’s even attended social gatherings here. “The community we have here is a throwback to the positive things we knew and loved growing up,� he said. “If it was possible anywhere, it was possible here.� When asked if anything gets him down or makes him want to stop smiling, Brown was philosophical. “I’ve learned that the things I can’t control, I let go of, and the things I can control, I get right on,� he said. Last year, Brown was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He had surgery in August, followed by a course of radiation that ended in December. Now back at work, he said he’s being monitored and feels great. “I don’t bounce like I used to,� he said. “But you do what you can.� And then, of course, he smiled.

Officials from King County Sheriff’s Office and the Medical Examiner’s Office remove the body.
#PEZ PG FMEFSMZ XPNBO GPVOE BU 3FEEJOHT #FBDI A man and two children on a walk at Reddings Beach found the body of an elderly woman among the driftwood and cobble early Monday afternoon, King County police authorities reported. Exact cause of death has not been determined, but there are no signs of foul play, said Sgt. Cindi West, spokeswoman for the King County Sheriff’s Office. The woman was clad in dark clothes and black shoes, she said. Six officials from the sheriff’s office and the King County Medical Examiner’s Office
responded to the scene Monday afternoon, a quiet stretch of beach between Paradise Cove and Lisabeula Park. A police boat from Tacoma patrolled the water. Officers on the scene would not answer questions, except to say the body was found washed ashore Monday just after noon. The elderly woman was thought to be a Tacoma resident, one officer said, noting that she seemed to match a bulletin that was recently issued for a missing elderly Tacoma woman.
The American Medical Association (AMA) honored state Rep. Eileen Cody (D-West Seattle) with the Dr. Nathan Davis Award for Outstanding Government Service, its top award for government service in health care. Cody was honored with the award last week at the AMA’s National Advocacy Conference in Washington, D.C. In a press release, AMA Board Chair Steven J. Stack, M.D., said Cody has led efforts toward improving health care access for low income individuals and transforming mental health services in the state. “Her dedication to public health has also earned the state national recognition for its long term health care services and support system,� he said. Cody has served Washington’s 34th Legislative District, which includes
Rep. Eileen Cody Vashon, West Seattle and Burien, since 1994. During that time, she has worked to get residents better connected to the Affordable Care Act, worked on a health insurance exchange and promoted other health care reforms. Cody was one of seven honorees this year for the Dr. Nathan Davis Award for Outstanding
Government Service. The award is named after the AMA’s founder and recognizes the work of elected and career officials in federal, state and municipal service whose contributions have promoted the art and science of medicine and the betterment of public health. “The Dr. Nathan Davis Awards give the AMA the opportunity to honor individuals who have contributed significantly to the advancement of public health,� said Stack. “The honorees represent all sectors of government and show what can be accomplished when we work together to address some of our nation’s most pressing health care issues.� Cody was nominated for the award by Gov. Chris Gregoire. This marks the 24th year for the Dr. Nathan Davis Awards.

passed away Feb. 13th, 2013. A full obituary will follow.
Please visit The Beachcomber’s website for details.
William (Bill) Charles Palmer Bill passed away on February 4, 2013 at his home, surrounded by loving family and friends. Bill was born to Elizabeth and Glenn Palmer on July 19, 1944 in Cleveland, Ohio. He graduated from Cleveland Heights High School in 1963 and joined the Ohio National Guard. He then entered a Benedictine Monastery in 3 Rivers, Michigan and spent 2-1/2 years in an ashram in Nevada. Bill married Gwynn Seywert on September 1, 1970. Bill was a poet, guitar player, a drummer, a storyteller, a grower of ďŹ ne heirloom tomatoes and grower and planter of trees. He had a house painting business on Vashon for over 40 years and many of his customers became part of his large and diverse circle of friends. He was known for his gentle spirit, and meticulous attention to detail, from painting trim on a house for a customer, or always remembering birthdays and signiďŹ cant anniversaries of those close to him. Friends knew when Bill came to visit he might come bearing ripe tomatoes, a favorite plant from his greenhouse or a jar of his homemade, handpicked huckleberry jam. Bill is survived by his wife Gwynn, son Josiah Tai, his goddaughter Maren Metke, his sister, Carol, niece Dawn, nephews David and Michael, as well as his large, extended “tribalâ€? family. A public memorial and potluck will held on Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 1:00pm at the Vashon Sportsmens club. Donations in Bill’s memory may be made to the Vashon Heritage Museum or the Goldmyer Hot Springs/Northwest Wilderness Programs.

Born around 2009, Carlo is one of a family of cats hanging out on the south end with no one to care for him. He is a shy but sweet boy who would love nothing better than a full time lap and regular meals. Carlo is a submissive kind of cat around other felines and he is ready to sit back and let the others run the show.

Born in 2010, Preston was found on Maury Island back in October. VIPP put an APB out on his owner but we were unsuccessful. Instead, we are looking for a successful adoption. Preston is a roll over and rub my tummy kind of cat. He is totally laid back and copes with any new situation very easily. He would make a great family cat.

My name is Jetta and I am a four year old female Border Collie looking for a job! I am very sweet, affectionate, and energetic. I am seeking a home that will give me lots of structure and exercise! I am extremely smart and good in my crate, but I need a well-fenced yard or someone who is dedicated to more than one dog walk per day. I am good with kids and dogs, but do not like those pesky cats. A herd of sheep is desirable but not necessary! Follow VIPP on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/ Vashon-Island-Pet-Protectors
