Fuller Store nominated for historic designation
Crews help heal a worn landscape
Building would be the 16th structure landmarked on Vashon
After five months, thousands of Scotch broom plants have been removed

On Monday, a crew of five young adults in hard hats and work boots spent the morning balanced on a slope at the Maury Island Marine Park, yanking weeds from the steep hillside and planting native trees and shrubs in their place. From their vantage point near the popular overlook on S.W. 248th Street, the workers could see an open, undulating landscape — the result of five months of labor. “This whole place was thick with Scotch broom up to a person’s height,” said Brian Massi, who is overseeing the Puget SoundCorps

I think it looks a lot better.” From the hillside down to the shoreline where other crews labored that morning, the brambles that once entangled this
popular county park — a 300acre expanse that features stunning views of the Puget Sound and Mount Rainier — have been largely tackled. Now native trees — cedars, firs and cottonwoods — are prominent at the park, and bright pink flags mark the outline
of a new, easier-to-navigate trail that will one day descend from the viewpoint to the beach. “I think people will really like it,” Massi said. In October the Puget SEE RESTORATION, 19
A principal finds meaning putting kids on stage By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Staff Writer

Susan Hanson talks to the cast of “In the Heights” during a recent rehearsal.
Through her long career as an educator and high school principal on Vashon, Susan Hanson has given her students guided tours to magical worlds, including medieval castles, a German cabaret, a prohibition-era Chicago speakeasy and the ivied halls of Harvard Law School. She’s done it all through the magic of theater, directing students in Broadway musicals such as “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Camelot,” “Chicago,” “Legally Blonde” and many, many more — 32 in all, counting the school’s current production of “In the Heights,” set to open Friday. Hanson is the first to admit that it is unusual for a principal to take on the additional work of directing high school shows. “I don’t know of any other administrators who do this,” she said.

The Fuller Store, the oldest commercial building on Vashon, could become the island’s 16th landmarked structure should the King County Landmarks Commission approve the nomination at its March 26 meeting. Roy McMakin and Mike Jacobs nominated their property, a twostory, wood-frame structure at the crossroads in Center, last month. The designation would also protect the two black walnut trees in front of the structure, towering trees thought to be more than 100 years old. Julie Koler, who heads King County’s preservation office, said she was thrilled by the nomination. “It’s a gem,” she said of the property. “It’s a gem in its rarity, materials, association, everything.” McMakin, reached Thursday, said he and Jacobs have long wanted to get the building designated as historic. McMakin and Jacobs are the fourth owners of the building since it was built in 1884, a structure that McMakin called “insanely intact.” “I feel that it’s our responsibility to do what we can to preserve it because it’s one of the more historic buildings in all of King County,” he said. The store, which currently houses Sea Change Tattoo and some private offices, would have been protected as a historic structure had an effort to make Center a historic district won approval.

4DBMMPQ GBSNJOH GJSN CVZT UIF 3IPEPEFOESPO The Rhododendron, a 65-year-old ferry that was retired from the state fleet last year, has found a new home. Island Scallops, LLC, a subsidiary of Atlantic Capes Fisheries, Inc., purchased the boat for $275,000 in a deal that closed last week, according to Marta Coursey, a spokeswoman for Washington State Ferries. Atlantic Capes is based in Cape May, N.J. Island Scallops, based in Qualicum Beach, British Columbia, operates several scallop farms along the eastern coast of Vancouver Island. Robert Saunders, the chief executive officer of Island Scallops, said he plans to use the boat as a support vessel. The boat’s car deck will hold hundreds of feet of nets that workers lower into the water at the company’s scallop farms about a mile off the coast of Vancouver Island. “We need a lot of footprint to be able store the nets,� Saunders said. He said he was thrilled to have discovered the Rhododendron. He and his crew have been looking at Canadian-owned ferries

The Rhododendron is loaded on its last day of operations. ready for retirement as well, he said. “This is a gorgeous boat. It’s been extremely well maintained,� Saunders said. The Rhododendron has some limitations that make it unsafe as a ferry, he said. But for his purposes, the boat is more than adequate, he said. “It probably has another 50 years of life easily,� he added. Saunders was planning to leave Monday to head to the Seattle area to pick up the ferry. He and a retired WSF crew will either sail it or tow it to its new home at Fanny Bay, a small hamlet just north of Nanaimo on the eastern shore of Vancouver Island. The Rhododendron was originally built in Baltimore
in 1947 and was restored in 1993 to serve the Point Defiance-Tahlequah run. The Rhody — a classic ferry, with brass railings, polished benches and a wrap-around exterior deck — was the oldest in the state’s fleet when it was retired a year ago. When the state put it up for sale, WSF officials said it was valued at $750,000. An entity with the online handle “Kingstontown� offered $300,000 to purchase it last fall, a deal that never materialized. After the state got no other takers, officials said it was possible the ship could be given away to a maritime engineering program. — Leslie Brown The state says it will fix the Chetzemoka’s list.

Coordinating services: One woman makes a difference for families Staff Writer
When Sarah Lake St. Germain, a single mother of three, has a crisis at home, she doesn’t call a friend, a relative or even a counselor. She calls Delene Rodenberg. “She’s my go-to girl,� St. Germain said recently while sitting in a chair at the salon she owns in Vashon Village. “She’s just got my back. She gives me the strength to do what I’m doing.� Rodenberg coordinates Vashon’s Wraparound Services, a relatively new program that has so far earned praise from parents who call it a lifeline and even special attention from the county agency that funds it. In Wraparound, families whose children have special needs — such as a disability, a behavioral issue or troubles in school — have easy access to a suite of services provided by various island organizations, many of them free to low-income parents. Rodenberg, a calm and easygoing woman who is employed by the county but works out of the Vashon Youth & Family Service PlaySpace, develops relationships with the children as well as their families, parents who often feel overwhelmed by their circumstances. For up to two years, she does the work that would normally fall on parents, lining up tutoring and counseling, for instance. She also provides parent coaching and helps to secure financial assistance. “It’s so difficult raising children, and some of these families, through no fault of their own, are raising children in isolation,� Rodenberg said recently, sitting in her large office, which is painted in warm hues and outfitted with comfortable furniture. “It’s about breaking down that isolation.�
/BUBMJF +PIOTPO 4UBGG 1IPUP
Delene Rodenberg coordinates the county’s Wraparound Services program on Vashon. Parents who are served by Wraparound, however, say Rodenberg is much more than a county worker who connects them with services. Rodenberg, who serves about 16 families at a time, fills in wherever families need support most. If mornings are hard, Rodenberg might drive a child to school. If a family can’t afford new shoes, she finds them money to purchase a pair. If a mom just needs someone to talk to, she’s there. Most importantly, Rodenberg says, she tries to take time to nurture each child, focusing on the child’s strengths, not his or her problems, and reporting those suc-
cesses to the child’s family. If a child shows interest in art, she puts them in a class at the Blue Heron. Recently she spent the day in the greenhouse with a teenager who wanted to try her hand at gardening. “It’s about finding what their passions are and filling that cup,� Rodenberg said. She’s done just that for St. Germain’s son — one of three adopted out of the fostercare system. St. Germain explained how her son has physical and emotional issues but has always loved and excelled at sports. Rodenberg has done everything she can to keep him on sports teams, and, thanks to Rodenberg, he and his brothers have

twice gone to YMCA summer camps on full scholarships. Sometimes, Rodenberg shoots hoops with him. “She’s doing therapy, but he doesn’t know it. ‌ He’s playing,â€? St. Germain said. “He looks forward to spending time with her.â€? Rodenberg, who has lived on Vashon with her family for 17 years, has had a long career in social services — a far departure from her bachelor’s degree in poetry and theology. She’s worked with the homeless, at a residential home for children, at an employment programs for teens and at a YMCA women’s shelter. She was hired to begin providing Wraparound services on Vashon almost three years ago. “I think we all search for meaning, and my meaning comes from connecting with people,â€? she said. Heather Flanery, a mother of three young children, said Rodenberg’s help has transformed her family’s life. Most recently, she helped get one of her children screened for a speech delay and then set him up with speech therapy. “You can make 20 phone calls in one day, but with her I just call her and she gets back to me,â€? Flanery said. “She’s the best friend ever, and she has the resources, too.â€? Recently Flanery, who has struggled financially as a single mom, found a fulltime job at a social services agency in West Seattle. She credits her success to Rodenberg, who helped her practice for the interview and drove her there. “How do you put into words the person who fills in all those places?â€? Flanery said. “She’s been such a great person to my family.â€? All of the families involved in

Wraparound, a two-year program for each child, have grown in some way, Rodenberg said, even if it’s simply feeling less overwhelmed by their challenges. In fact, King County Wraparound Services has been so impressed with Vashon’s program that it would like to take a close look at Rodenberg’s work in hopes of improving Wraparound delivery in other parts of the county. “They have shown interest in learning more about the way the model is delivered on Vashon because we’re having success that has inspired them to pay attention,� Rodenberg said. At the same time, she’s quick to credit those on Vashon who make her work possible, such as counselors, teachers and several VYFS staff members. “It’s not Delene Wraparound services, it’s the whole community,� she said. “We’re an island that’s invested in the health of our community, more so than communities that don’t have that natural boundary around them.� For many, however, Rodenberg’s help in pulling it all together has made all the difference. “You can be a super mom and still need help,� St. Germain said. “It takes a village to raise a kid. Our village is a special place, and she is the epitome of that term.�

Hilary Case, the volunteer outreach coordinator at the Seattle-based agency, said Senior Services has only two volunteer drivers on Vashon. More volunteers are needed to meet the needs of elderly residents who have appointments off-island, she said. “On Vashon, the community is so strong that when there’s an appointment on-island they can find someone to drive them. But it’s those pesky appointments in Seattle and Tacoma that are difficult,â€? Case said. Vashon is one of the quieter parts of the agency’s service area, Case said. “But when we do have requests, it just seems that we sometimes aren’t able to serve them. ‌ And once they’re told no, they stop calling.â€? Volunteers use their own vehicles and are reimbursed for mileage and ferry fares, she said. Those who need a ride call Senior Services to try to secure one. Clients need to call by Wednesday for a ride the following week, she said. Sometimes, elderly residents need a ride

a feat that could place Vashon in the record books and raise more than $100,000 for the Vashon agency, she said. “Rafting up� is a term used in kayaking; when there’s danger — high waves or a large boat approaching — kayakers will often pull together, grabbing each other’s boat or oars to make themselves sturdier or create a higher profile for a passing ship. Johnson said the metaphor of rafting up is a perfect one for community life. “When you’re kayaking, you feel independent. But when you get into trouble, you raft up for stability,� she said. “It speaks to bringing all sorts of people together and recognizing that we’re stronger when we’re together.� The idea has caught the imagination of other organizations on large bodies of water, and at least three other groups are trying to break Inlet’s record. Johnson said she’s not surprised other communities are attempting it. “It’s a beautiful event. It’s just visually stunning,� she said. VYFS’s effort will take place Sept. 1, the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. It will take a lot to pull it off, however, and Johnson and her board have already begun to seek volunteers, including someone to oversee logistics, communications and volunteer recruitment. Those interested in participating should contact VYFS board member Diane Kjellberg at dikjell@gmail.com. More information will be posted on VYFS’s Facebook page.

EDITORIAL
An open letter to the community
The Belknap Krugs extend a thank you
The restoration effort on Maury needs to continue It’s deeply encouraging to see the restoration work unfolding at the Maury Regional Marine Park, a beautiful expanse of land that bears the scars of years of mining. For months, a crew of young people — funded by a forwardlooking state program — has been at work, pulling Scotch broom, blackberry and other invasive plants. In recent weeks, the fun part has begun — planting the trees and shrubs that will truly heal this 300-acre expanse. With the introduction of those native plants, a whole cascade of good things begins to happen: carbon, which is heating up the atmosphere, gets absorbed by the growing trees; soil erosion lessens, and rapid run-off ends; birds and small mammals find habitat; insects from trees hanging over the beach fall, feeding foraging fish at high tides. This is the beauty of a functioning ecosystem: All the parts work together, creating a biofeedback loop that reinforces itself over time. But this expenditure of public funds is an investment in our future only if we invest the time to ensure the restoration effort succeeds. Scotch broom seeds persist in the soil for decades. Once those native seedlings get tall enough, they’ll shade out the Scotch broom, and a new ecosystem will take hold. Until then, the noxious broom will pop back up, reclaiming the acres workers have just cleared. The work was undertaken by the Puget SoundCorps, a newly formed branch of the Washington Conservation Corps. And it appears the corps will have enough funds to continue its work for one more year. But it will take years of persistence to ensure that this jobs program is more than just that. If we want to see the hard work these young people have invested pay off, if we want to see ecological health return to the eastern slopes of Maury Island, we’ll have to continue working there for years to come. Volunteer work parties will be needed. The friends group that has formed to oversee the regional park will need to remain engaged. And state funds will still need to be brought to bear: It’s unlikely volunteer efforts alone can shoulder this project. Aldo Leopold, who powerfully articulated the need for a conservation ethic decades ago with the publication of “The Sand County Almanac,� noted that we “abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us.� “When we see land as a community to which we belong,� he added, “we may begin to use it with love and respect.� That undulating expanse — a former gravel mine turned county park — is as much our community as the Village Green, as the town core, as the playgrounds and schools and gathering places that we associate with human life. Its health is tied to the health of Puget Sound, which in turn supports a regional health critical to our future. So let’s celebrate the restoration that is taking place there. And let’s make sure it continues.
Words cannot express how deeply grateful we are to the hundreds of people who have supported our family as we coped with the loss of our beloved Ryan. We are grateful to each and every one of you and hope that this brief note will let you know how profoundly we value you and all you have done to help. We simply could not have borne the weight of these past weeks without your loving safety net. From the moment of Ryan’s accident and every minute thereafter, an army of loving friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, students and professionals worked to meet our family’s every need and let us know how much Ryan means to them. You have donated over 200 meals, baked goods and beverages; comforted us around the clock; brought household supplies and completed chores on our behalf; provided professional services; sent cards, flowers and gifts; and sacrificed your own commitments to be at our sides. You provided generous financial support for funeral expenses and supported the beginnings of a scholarship fund in Ryan’s memory. Lovingly, Ryan’s friends and mentors shared their artwork, music, photos and stories these past weeks. Our artist friends and soccer comrades have been with us to keep our hands busy and our hearts full. Dear friends went to extraordinary efforts to coordinate
personal services and create an amazing 24/7 support network: Diana Anderson, Anne Atwell, Nancy Brenner, Penny Cleland, Lynn Douglas, Barbara and Fred Gylland, Mary-Anna Hops, Kirsten Jennings, Jar and Roxanne Lyons, Jill and Pat Mulvihill, Irene Otis, Judy Pells, Joe and Sandi Silagi, Carrie Van Buren and Mark and Stephanie VanDevanter. The loving services for Ryan would not have been possible without those above and the many individuals who shared at these events: Anders Blomgren, Lisa Devereau, Barbara Gylland, Geoff Larson, Grant Lyons, Roxanne Lyons, Jeff Orr, Ken Quehrn, Father Tryphon, the Threshold Choir, Mark VanDevanter and Ruben Watson. A heartfelt thank you and hugs to the team of Paul Beytebierre, Jennifer Brenner, Claudia Campbell, Terri Colello, Bruce and Lisa Cyra, Patti Daughtry, Sandy Didricksen, Donna Donnelly, Nathan Gilmour, Steve Gilmour, Eva of the Minglement, Judy Mish, Louise Olson, Risa Stahl, Kathy West, Dave Wilke and others we may not know of who lovingly provided facilities, food, beverages and preparations at the service. The wrestling and cross-country communities brought their love and strength to set-up and take-down needs. And more gratitude to dear, countless others who wrote and played music, gathered photos into beautiful montages, created a

Vashon Park District
)PX UP NPWF GPSXBSE My family enjoys soccer. And, frankly, we don’t expect Bellevuestyle fields on little ol’ Vashon. That’s sort of why we live here. Because to get those Bellevue-style fields, you have to live in that Bellevue-style culture. As field users, we agree wholeheartedly that those using the
fields should have been required to follow the same protocol as previous user groups. Unfortunately, the park district (and all of us who fund it) are now over a barrel. So, how will we move forward? One idea is to put the project on indefinite hold, accept the consequences and let this light a fundraising fire under fields-heavy user groups. I think we also need to ask if personal biases are at work here.

wonderful video, shared their stories and took photos and video of events. To the “Crew,� their families, and all the fine young men wo served as pallbearers and honor Ryan’s memory with their kindness and strength, please know we are so proud of you all and grateful for your friendship. Our extended family came from afar to support us as well and we love them. Thank you to the Vashon school and park districts for making facilities available to us. We express our appreciation to Ryan’s instructors, coaches and the educators who supported him always and continue to support the fine young people in our community during this difficult time. To the young people of the island, please know you are each cherished — the stories, artwork, photos, memories, kindness and courage you share with us and with each other matter more than you can know. Though we have not named each caring gesture and each individual, please know that each and every kindness, each and every person, is valued and made a difference that matters to us deeply. You have all enfolded us in your care and kindness and without you; we could not have endured our unimaginable loss. You have supported us, cheered us and kept us whole. From the bottom of our hearts we love and thank you.

I don’t know, but it’s a possibility that must be considered — especially when seemingly risky and illogical decisions that hurt us all have, and are, being made.

Can we check that they have agenda planning and facilitation skills? We need to know if they are, or have been, on the board of any user groups. And does that group want anything from the park district? Most importantly, our children need to learn how to live within their means. And they’ll learn that best if we do it ourselves. — March Twisdale
/FX NBOBHFNFOU JT OFFEFE The park district board has mismanaged the fields project. At any point in time, an effective project manager will be capable of reporting the estimated completion date, cost to date, forecasted final cost and specifics of cost variances. At present the project is at least 50 percent over budget, and there is no forecasted final cost for completion, let alone a schedule. Of equal concern is the observed disdain for the recent audit findings. The purpose of an audit is to ensure effective internal controls are in place, that financial and fixed assets are properly protected. Those controls have been found to be weak or absent, and certain members of the board, as well as the rehired project manager, have set aside the concerns documented in the audit. I fully agree with Jack Churchill’s letter to the editor (“Board needs a wellqualified manager,� Feb. 27). It is time “to change the pipers.� Required are significant improvements in board/management credentials, transparency of process and regular project schedule and cost reporting for the fields project and overall park district operations. Until this is cleaned up, all park facilities will continue to suffer and user group participation and dona-

Dogs in the woods
0XOFST OFFE UP TDPPQ QPPQ Every day last week I walked our small dog through Island Center Forest while our regular dog walker, my wife, was away. I was amazed at how much dog poop was left on the trails through our county forest. I do not think that it comes as a surprise to those who walk their dogs in ICF that they are supposed to pick up that which their dogs leave on the trails. The county parks department supply bio-degradable bags and specific deposit containers at all the entrances to ICF, just for this purpose. It disgusted me to find large piles of dog poop at the most obvious places possible — piles left under the disposal cans, at the intersections of trail heads and even under the gates to the forest. Are we being left a message? The only way that a dog owner could possibly ignore his or her pet taking care of its business, so obviously, would be if the dog was off leash and out of sight. Technically, as per park department rules, all dogs are supposed to be on a leash. This problem could possibly be solved if the leash rule was enforced. That would be most unfortunate for all those dog joggers and walkers who have petitioned the county for off-leash privileges. I believe it would behoove all those who walk dogs in the ICF to police their own. The park department crew is directed to clean up after dogs and their owners. They agree that it’s a problem and are disappointed with the number of owners

who are not cleaning up after their dogs. Please, if you walk or jog with your dog in ICF, pick up after them. If we all fulfill our obligations and do what is reasonably expected, we will be able to enjoy this island treasure for a long time. — Stephen Holtz, King County Ambassador to Island Center Forest

Beware of Runaway Dogs!!!
What’s the buzz?
On three separate occasions, I have had a pair of dogs run up the driveway to my house (Gorsuch Road and 93rd) then throughout my property. One looks to be a purebred husky, the other a brown shepherd mix. Both wear, on occasion, light blue nylon collars. If these are your dogs, I cannot guarantee their safety on my property. I intend to protect myself and my animals. There is a leash law on the island. Please follow it.
It’s all about scholarships for Vashon School District’s graduates of 2013. Spelling Bee history was made and scholarships were raised on Saturday, Feb. 2, as eager spellers, supporters and spectators swarmed VHS theater and raised nearly $5,000 for the class of 2013. The Vashon Community Scholarship Foundation is grateful to the many volunteers who made the annual Spelling Bee fundraiser a terrific event again this year. Special thanks to the skillful participants, who prepped, spelled, dressed up and enlivened the stage with their presence. Dennis Lambert provided the YouTube and promo clip that ran at the Vashon Theatre. David Weller was our photographer; Tanner Montigue worked the sound and lights. Special kudos to Kathleen Hendrickson of Camp Burton, the Vashon Pharmacy and Vashon High School for use of the facility. We look forward to the upcoming Vashon Community Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, May 29, at 6 p.m., as we gather to present scholarships to Class of 2013 graduating seniors who assembled a scholarship notebook for consideration. Please join us in celebrating these outstanding students. Visit www.vashonscholarshipfoundation.org to learn more about our organization.

I avoid reading newspapers because most specialize in bad news. Instead, I let wife Margaret break the bad news to me gently. For example, yesterday she read to me a piece in The Beachcomber reporting that Island Lumber will sell liquor. The owner was quoted as saying something like, “Adding alcohol will enhance the shopping experience when you’re looking for plumbing supplies or straight 2-by-4s.� I may have gotten that quote wrong, but I can’t disagree with the “enhancement� claim. For some, the stress of fixing the plumbing brings on an intense desire for “enhancement.� One could argue that the effective shopkeeper should anticipate his customer’s needs. That’s how capitalism works, right? Margaret read me two other pieces in the same Beachcomber: One was about how the middle schoolers are bringing a substance abuse expert to Vashon, and the other was a touching obituary for a man who endured for 22 years as a quadriplegic because of an accident caused by a drunk driver. One of the failures of capitalism is that economic demands cause many people to value their own wealth higher than the welfare of the community. This may not be so in this case, but we already can get alcohol at one liquor store, two groceries,
CUSTOM SLIPCOVERS by Karen Bean 206-465-5008
two convenience stores, more restaurants than I can count and even on the ferry. It’s an inconvenient truth that we are literally awash in alcohol. If we really want to be responsible citizens, should we not recognize that alcohol abuse is a problem in part because of easy availability? My late friend Gene Amondson used to say, “Your kids need you sober.� I would add that your kids need you sober when you fix the toilet. And you can forget about finding any straight 2-by-4s. They don’t exist.
$PNQFUJUJPO DBO CF IBSNGVM Is competition always a good thing? I live on Vashon, and I try to shop as much as possible here. What makes the shopping on Vashon more agreeable is to go from one small shop to another, to have a personal and a knowledgeable contact with the shop’s tenant. I suppose it is also one of the touristic attractions of Vashon and a nice change from the mega-stores across the Sound. It was very disappointing to learn that Island Lumber plans to expand beyond its own specialties of garden supplies, hardware and building materials into other supplies such as liquor after having pushed into animal foods. What is to be next after the huge, dazzling advertising screen and the relentless expansion without regard to the community of small shops? The air conditioned shopping mall? (At least the parking lot is ready for that.) Yes, I like competition when forces are more or less equal; otherwise this sort of mega-shop competition can only mean the short-term demise of our Vashon shopping community and its replacement by a monopoly. — Emma Newby-Letestu

Coaching brothers energize, inspire Pirate wrestlers By NATALIE JOHNSON
1JSBUF XSFTUMFST XJO BXBSET BU BOOVBM CBORVFU
Staff Writer
Muscle Shirt Monday, Tye Dye Tuesday, Thug Thursday. It’s not theme nights at a college bar; it’s a strategy that wrestling coaches Anders and Per-Lars Blomgren use to keep their high school wrestlers energized through the final stretch of the winter season. “If we feel great with how we’re doing, we try to add a little humor in the process,� Anders said. In more than a dozen years coaching Vashon High School wrestlers, brothers Anders and Per-Lars Blomgren have become known not only for their fun and quirky personalities, but for their fierce passion for the sport of wrestling and the impact they make on high schoolers who find themselves on the Pirate mat. “They’re like one of the teammates to me,� said AJ Sawyer, a senior who just completed his final season wrestling at VHS. “They are adults, but they join us when we’re wrestling and have the fun we do, and I don’t see that at other schools. They show they really care.� Per-Lars and Anders, now 36 and 37, respectively, were earning praise on Vashon long before they became coaches. Anders and Per-Lars grew up on the island and followed in the footsteps of their father Carl Blomgren, an avid wrestler and volunteer coach. The two were among the first young islanders to wrestle with the Rockbusters, and in high school they both took state championship titles, a rare honor for the small island. “We’re naturally good at it,� Per-Lars said. “But one of the biggest things is that I like team sports a lot, but with wrestling you get out of it what you put into it. There’s something extra special about that.� Both men went on to wrestle for Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, the only Canadian university to compete in the United States’ college wrestling association. Anders was named an All-American wres-
The Pirate wrestling season came to a close on Sunday with the team’s annual awards banquet, where coaches Anders and Per Lars Blomgren announced a slate of honors. Shane Armstrong was named an Academic All State Honorable Mention. First Team honors for the All-Nisqually League went to Chase Wickman, Shane Armstrong, Preston Morris, Anthony Sawyer and Christian Seymour. Clyde Pruett, Shane Williams and Louis Jovanovich were named to the AllNisqually Leaque Second Team. Shane Armstrong and Christian Seymour were awarded for being varsity team captains. Chase Wickman won Outstanding Wrestler. Preston Morris and Anthony Sawyer won Most Inspirational. Logan Nelson and Louis Jovanovich won Most Improved. Fletcher Call was awarded for being the JV team captain. Franklin Easton won Most Inspirational on the JV team, and Winter Krimmert was Most Improved. The Leadership and Hard Worker awards went to Aaron Bomber and Cole Devereau.

Anders (left) and Per-Lars Blomgren wrestle each other during a practice early last season. tler and Per-Lars took a national championship. With similar goals to teach in schools, be near their large island family and stay involved in wrestling, both brothers moved back to Vashon soon after graduation and took coaching positions at VHS. Per-Lars, who is now married with a child on the way, is a long-term math substitute and assistant coach for the team, while Anders, the older of the two, is the head coach as well as a popular English teacher.

Jamie Chevalier Senior, Debate
Participation closes March 31st
Jamie Chevalier has shown outstanding leadership this year on the Vashon Debate Team. As Philosophy Captain and Lincoln Douglas CoCaptain, he has been an excellent role model for the rest of the team: he loves debate as a competitive sport. His love for learning has also come through clearly in the way he has wrestled with the most progressive philosophical ideas, teaching them to other students in our student-led labs, and helping his debaters apply these ideas as they have written their cases. He has gone out of his way to mentor the students on his team, setting aside his own work in order to help those who were following him. Disciplined and hard working, his love for learning makes him a joy to teach. To top it off, he has a radio announcer’s voice, and is a joy to listen to.
Serving Vashon Island Since 1929
The two say they’ve remained close over the years — they share a love of literature, poetry and music. But they both seem to come into their element when they’re on the mat, and with a couple other assistant coaches they’ve sustained the high school’s popular wrestling program, sending several young grapplers all the way to the state competition each year. This winter six young wrestlers made it to State, where two placed in the top three in their weight classes. This season Anders also won Nisqually League Coach of the Year, an award voted on by other wrestling coaches in the league. “Per-Lars and I are really passionate about teaching and coaching, but we get just as much out of it in terms of enabling these wrestlers’ dreams and their experiences,�
Anders said. Coaching can sometimes be easy between brothers, they say. They seem to share a certain intuition when it comes to wrestling and playing to each athlete’s strengths. “We don’t have to have a whole lot of coaching meetings, not as many as other schools,� Anders said. While some of the brothers’ best memories are of seeing Pirate wrestlers improve at the sport, they say they also enjoy the day-to-day moments that coaching young athletes provides — the yearly mustache growing contest, fun times on the bus to tournaments or break dancing on Thug Thursday. Their three-part philosophy for the team is to “work hard and smart, play your role for the team and have fun.� Many wrestlers graduate from the program with lifelong friends. “There’s a lot of hard work; it’s not all fun and games,� Per-Lars said. “But I think we have more fun than most other programs.�

But for the energetic, 66-yearold principal, mentoring young thespians has been something that has added balance and fulfillment to her work. “It feeds a part of my soul that being an administrator doesn’t,� she said last week, taking a short break from her duties to talk about how she has shared her love of theater with Vashon teens. “Being an administrator fed part of me that being a teacher didn’t, and being a teacher fed part of me that being an artist didn’t.� Hanson said she has seen firsthand how the arts have nourished island teens in important ways. “It’s amazing how theater makes young adults discover that they can do things that they never dreamed of,� she said. “And many times, I’ve seen things happen onstage that are of professional quality.� “In the Heights,� a 2008 Tony Award-winning musical set in a Latino barrio in New York City, is a milestone for Hanson — it will be the last show she directs as Vashon High School’s principal. She’s set to retire in June, but will stay on at the school as a transition principal until February 2014. As the curtain drops on Hanson’s time at VHS, she said she has mixed feelings. “My head absolutely knows it is the right time and decision, but my heart still struggles,� she said. Hanson has been an educator for more than 40 years, beginning in the late 1960s as an undergraduate at the University of Washington, when she tutored disadvantaged students who lived in Seattle housing projects.

out of college placed her in tough schools in inner-city neighborhoods, where she established a reputation as a talented teacher. In the mid-1970s, she was granted a Fulbright Exchange Teaching Fellowship and lived and taught in Portsmouth, England, before returning to the Northwest. She eventually moved to Vashon, where, 30 years ago, she was offered a half-time position at McMurray Middle School. It was at McMurray that Hanson first established a drama program and began directing shows, enlisting her husband, architect Craig Hanson, to design and build sets for the shows. Two years after her appointment at McMurray, Hanson was hired full time, but asked to split her days between McMurray and Vashon High School, where she also quickly instituted a drama program. “There was a time when I was directing two shows a year, and Craig was designing two sets,� she said with a laugh, marveling at the energy it took to stage two elaborate musicals a year. “The big challenge was when the show at the middle school was closing and the one at the high school was opening, so I had two shows going at the same time. That just about made me crazy.� Hanson was hired as the principal of Vashon High School in 1999, after earning a master’s degree. She asked Monte Bridges, the school district’s superintendent at the time, if she could continue to teach a theater class and direct the school’s spring musicals. He gave her the go-ahead, with the caveat that doing shows couldn’t interfere with her job as an administrator. “That’s when I started working 12 hour days,� she said.

Over the past mid-winter break, Hanson said, she took only one day off — appropriately enough, to journey to Seattle with her husband to see a production of the Broadway show “War Horse.� The Hansons are avid theatergoers, and it was at a 5th Avenue Theater production of “In the Heights� that she first got the urge to bring the show on Vashon. Rights to produce the show in amateur settings only became available last year, and Hanson said she leapt at the chance to do the musical at the high school. As with the past eight shows she’s directed at VHS, she has a co-director, theater arts teacher Stephen Floyd. Both Floyd and Hanson say they have forged a great working relationship over the years. “It has been very fruitful and easy,� said Floyd. “Sometimes we’re like an old married couple who finishes each other’s sentences. But our working processes are also very different. Susan is interested in the big picture and overall scope of the shows. I’m very good with adding more details and layers.� For Hanson, part of the lead up to each show is encouraging her students to delve into the world of each musical. For “In the Heights,� she explained, that has meant that students have studied the immigrant experience in the United States. She said the students are very excited to perform the show, which is filled with songs and dances inspired by rap, salsa and other urban music. “I’m thrilled with the passion and energy the kids have brought to the project,� she said. “They connect with it.� And as always, she said, she has admired the way her students

Man charged with child porn placed in alternative program Vashon-Maury A Vashon man has been sentenced to two months in a King County alternative program after being convicted of child pornography changes earlier this year. Gregory Richard Garcia, a 49-year-old homeless man, pleaded guilty and was convicted of second-degree possession of child pornography in January after an iPod that belonged to him and contained child pornography was found at a local baseball field. On Feb. 22, Garcia, who served one day in jail after being arrested, was sentenced to serve two months in the King County Community Center for Alternative Programs (CCAP), to begin on Friday. CCAP participants are assessed individually, screened for drug use and placed in county programs with the goal of helping them change their behaviors. According to sentencing papers, Garcia must also register as a level-two sex
offender, complete DNA and HIV testing and pay $600 in fees to the county. He has also been ordered to have no contact with individuals at the Vashon Dance Academy. Garcia was said to spend time at Vashon Plaza, where the dance studio is located. He is allowed to access the Internet at the Vashon Library under the supervision of a librarian. In a report included in sentencing papers, a county psychologist who assessed him said he believed Garcia was at a relatively high risk of obtaining more child pornography but at a relatively low risk of committing a hands-on offense. Garcia is one of two level-two or levelthree sex offenders currently living on Vashon. Names of level-one sex offenders, considered not likely to reoffend, are not made public. — Natalie Johnson

Center, and a few local naturalists are organizing volunteers to monitor the thousands of seedlings soon to be planted by the crews. They’ll look to see which ones thrive at the park, where sand, clay and gravel make a difficult environment for young plants. They’ll also experiment with soil amendments and monitor a project to plant madronas — known for being difficult to cultivate — with seeds rather than starts. “We’re trying to learn something from the project. It’s a pretty challenging site to plant things in,� Perla said. Dean noted that the lessons learned from the marine park’s restoration could be translated to the former Glacier property, another former mining site King County purchased in 2010 and hopes to one day restore as well. “It seems like we’re hopefully entering a new wave of restoration in Puget Sound where we’re able to take on bigger and bigger projects,� he said. Work at the two sprawling natural areas that rise up from the shores of Puget Sound will ultimately help the ailing body of water, Dean said, because of the interplay between an intact shoreline and a healthy marine system. “Ultimately, that is what’s going to restore Puget Sound,� he said.
For information on volunteering to monitor plants at the Maury Island Marine Park, contact Bianca Perla at info@vashonnaturecenter.org.
4UBUF BHFODZ QMBOT UP GJY GFSSJFT TMJHIU MJTU Washington State Ferries plans to fix the slight list that has plagued the Chetzemoka and the other two ferries in the new Kwa-di Tabil class. The work is expected to occur later this spring, according to Marta Coursey, a spokeswoman for WSF. The agency has sought approval from the U.S. Coast Guard to address the problem. It is still waiting for the Coast Guard’s approval. “The U.S. Coast Guard confirms that the Kwa-di Tabil vessels are stable and safe to operate in all conditions of loading,� Coursey said in an email to The Beachcomber. “However, we recognize that some of our customers, staff and legislators are uncomfortable with the list.� George Capacci, WSF’s deputy chief of operations and construction, told the Whidbey News-Times, a sister paper of The Beachcomber, that about 80 tons of ballast will be added to correct the problem. The additional ballast is expected to reduce what is now a three-degree list to one that’s about a half degree, he said. According to the News-Times, the work is expected to cost around $300,000. The list is caused by the placement of a single stair/elevator casing on one side of the vessel, installed so more large trucks can fit in each load, Coursey said. This is counter-balanced by the fuel tanks on the opposite side of the vessel. No negative impacts to fuel efficiency are expected.

Per county regulations, off-road vehicles will not be allowed at the protected natural area. The county is open to exploring other options for offroad vehicle users. Also, the draft plan includes one picnic area, not three.

Chris Cuevas Memorial Celebration For those of you who knew Chris Cuevas or his wonderful mother, Genni (Helen) Pearl McCoury, we invite you to join us to honor Chris’ memory. His memorial will be a potluck meal and will be held on Saturday, March 16th, 1PM-4PM, at the Vashon Eagles Hall on Vashon Island, WA. Since Chris was a devoted ‘foodie’ and loved to taste other peoples’ cooking, please feel free to share one of your own cooking specialties or bring a dish you know that he would like to eat. Any questions or comments regarding the potluck may be directed to Jan Saulewicz at 206-579-7539.

For the most current animals available Please visit VIPP.ORG 11 year old 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.
7 year-old Rotty is in need of a secure, permanent home with his own people to love. Kona will show you his playful puppy side by prancing after his balls and toys, return them to you, and drop them readily with the “give� command! He walks and runs well on a leash, loves car rides, and behaves himself if left alone in the house and car. This smart dog has proven very trainable and welcomes more. Kona is no different from other Rottweilers, in that he is happiest being with loving people. He needs a owner experienced with large breeds, gentle older children, a cat free household, and preferably no other dogs. Adoption fee will be waived for the right lucky home.
