Islanders express skepticism over recent health care merger

FIELD WORK

Hundreds show at meeting to discuss affiliation between secular and Catholic health systems

By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer

In an effort to help meet deadlines at the Vashon Fields Project, various groups have been lending a hand at the site by The Harbor School. Last Friday under sunny skies, Harbor School students themselves took a break from class to contribute to the effort. About 50 students spread mulch around 200 native plants recently planted by the park district and the land trust on the northeast corner of the site. Head of School James Cardo said the school frequently completes such service learning projects, but it was especially nice to help out in their own backyard. “It was a great hands-on project,” he said. “What would have taken five volunteers a number of hours, the kids got done in 45 minutes.”

For more on the current status of the Vashon Fields Project, see page 4.

More than 200 people attended last week’s meeting with representatives from Highline Medical Center and the Franciscan Health System — a meeting that left many concerned that Catholic theology may affect care at the Vashon Health Center and others feeling that some islanders do not understand the importance of the recent merger to sustaining health care on the island.

Highline CEO Mark Benedum and Dianna Kielian, the vice president of mission for the Franciscan system, were invited to address islanders last Thursday after a group on Vashon raised concerns about the recent merger between the Catholic Franciscan Health System and Highline, the Burien organization that manages the Vashon Health Center.

Officials from both health organizations have assured Vashon residents that care at the heath center will not change as a result of the merger, and they reiterated the same message at Thursday’s public meeting.

“There will be no change in health services at the clinic,” Benedum said. “I am not certain why people choose not to believe that, but that is the case.”

In her opening remarks, Kielian said the affiliation will SEE HEALTH CARE, 19

Art is skin deep for local entrepreneur Shop owner has built a following with his tattoos and custom machines

By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Staff Writer

Islander Paco Rollins is, quite literally, out to make his mark on Vashon.

For several years, Rollins has shuttled back and forth between several different workplaces on Vashon, carving a niche for himself as a sought-after tattoo artist and crafter of a line of tattoo machines that have won a nationwide clientele. Lately, he has added another highly visible business to his repertoire, creating hand-painted wooden signs for businesses.

Now, he’s found a way to put all these vocations under one roof, in a storefront shop located

in the same plaza as Vashon Island Bicycles.

Inside, the shop has freshly painted metallic gold and burnt-orange walls, and is filled with vintage light fixtures, vinyl furniture, kitsch paintings, taxidermy and other retro ephemera Rollins has collected over the years. But most importantly, the space is large enough to house all of his enterprises.

The shop, which will have a grand opening party during the First Friday Gallery Cruise on Friday night, will also be easy for islanders to find. Rollins’ own colorful signs will be perched atop the awning of the shop, heralding both the move of his Sea Change Tattoo Parlor — formerly located in the Old Fuller Store at Center — and his newest venture, the Super Deluxe Sign Shop.

Tom Hughes Photo “It’s going to be contagious,” he said of the sign business. “It’s going to grow and grow.”

Paco Rollins, center, and his cohorts at Sea Change Tattoo Parlor, (from left) Casey Indeed, Rollins’ meticulously painted signs Buxton, Laura Rollins and James Clapperton, will welcome visitors to their shop’s new SEE TATTOOS, 18

A janitor at the Vashon Library has been charged with sexual assault after allegedly groping another man at the library earlier this month.

Joaquin Amaya, 68, admitted to police that on April 5 he lured a mentally disabled man into the Vashon Library and touched him on his genitals through his pants, according to charging papers filed last week in King County Superior Court.

Prosecutors say the incident occurred when the library was closed and Amaya — a Vashon resident who worked for a maintenance company that contracts with

Saturday, May 4, through Saturday, May 11.

The website calls the event an open house but doesn’t specify whether the house will be open during that time. The event was also advertised in The Seattle Times’ classified section.

sent a strongly worded three-page letter to Mary Matthews, president of Island Landmarks, listing her concerns about the organization’s management of the property.

Among other concerns, she said she saw little evidence of public access to the site, a requirement of a state grant the nonprofit received to purchase the property more than a decade ago.

In a reply, Matthews took issue with the agency’s claims and said she routinely opens up the site to visitors when the cherry trees are in bloom or by appointment.

Sports fields project faces tight deadline to receive state grant money

BY SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer

With a deadline to complete the current phase of the Vashon Fields Project and receive state grant money just weeks away, a professional construction manager told Vashon Park District officials last week that the remaining work exceeds what volunteers can reasonably be expected to complete.

The problem-plagued fields project is facing a June 30 deadline to complete specific work at the site and receive $152,000 from the state’s Recreation and Conservation Funding Board. If the work is not completed by the June deadline, the district could forfeit all of the grant money, worsening the financial picture of the cash-strapped district. Because of its difficult financial situation, officials say, the park district is relying on volunteers to provide most of the labor at the project north of town.

Mitch Treese, the principal of a Vashon construction firm and the vice chair of the district’s recently formed Oversight Committee, told parks commissioners at last week’s meeting that given the progress of the project, there is too much for volunteers to do in such a short period of time. “On virtually all our items, except one or two, we are behind schedule,� he said. “It’s a recipe for disaster.�

Not only is there too much work to do, Treese explained, but some supplies have not yet been ordered, and delivery could take up to 10 days, further eating into the construction schedule. Even the most wellmeaning volunteers have limited time and energy, he stressed, and they cannot complete tasks as quickly as professionals. “What would take a pro a few days, a group of volunteers would take a month,� he said.

With $152,000 hanging in the balance, he recommended that commissioners attempt to find funds to hire more of the project out, ensuring they meet the June 30 deadline. “With $50,000, you would buy yourself an insurance policy that would make the problem go away,� he said.

However, officials say the park district doesn’t have an extra $50,000. What’s more, it is already slated to spend $249,000 on the project between now and the end of June, $152,000 of which it hopes to get back in grant money.

Some park district officials, however, are holding out hope that the district will get the job done in time without putting out more money.

Asked to weigh in at the meeting, park board Chair Joe Wald said he believes volunteers are still capable of doing the job.

Treese also suggested that the park district hire a part-time assistant for the next two months to work with site supervisor Mike Mattingly, an hourly employee.

Mattingly’s time would be used best at the fields, Treese said, not tending to the administrative tasks that accompany the project. Such an assistant would cost the district about $2,000 a month, he said. The commissioners agreed to this suggestion, and park district General Manager Elaine Ott said last week that she hoped to have that person in place soon.

Commissioners recommended enhancing the project’s volunteer base and putting some of the pieces of the project out to bid so that professionals could be called upon if needed to finish the job on time.

Commissioners also determined they would try to have Wald and Ott talk directly with the head of the funding board, rather than the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) staff they have

been working with, to see if the district may get another extension on the grant.

The issue of an extension is complicated in part because the funding board does not meet again until June 25.

At RCO in Olympia, Deputy Director Scott Robinson said he and Laura Moxham, the project’s grants manager, remain concerned about the fields project.

Two weeks ago, RCO staff came to Vashon to conduct two audits, he said, one a fiscal audit related to the project and the other of the fields themselves. The fiscal audit was not complete as of Monday, Robinson said, because the district had to supply two more pieces of information., At the fields, however, RCO staff said they had hoped to see more work completed.

While the funding board determines whether extensions are given in grants more than four years old — which Vashon’s is — RCO staff want to see more progress before determining if they will even take extension requests to the board. “At a point when we’ll think they’ll succeed, we’ll make a determination if we give them more time,� he said.

Told of the board’s plan to reach out to the chair of the funding board directly, Robinson said commissioners and Ott are free to make that contact, but stressed that all decisions must be considered and approved in a public meeting. RCO employees make recommendations to the board, he added, but any decision by the board could go either way. “It’s not a slam dunk,� he said.

Robinson said his office is still committed to working with the district to make the fields happen. However, they must look to find the balance between helping the Vashon community and being good stewards of state money.

A tour of the fields with Mattingly last week showed the challenges ahead. While the teams have been playing on some of the fields since last fall, the baseball fields are clearly still diamonds in the rough, with no backstops, bleachers or fences. Concrete has only been poured at one of the baseball fields; the parking areas still need grading and the perimeter of the park needs fencing.

Mattingly said he would ordinarily agree with Treese’s assessment that the project needs more help from professionals, but in this case he disagrees. “I have faith in the volunteers and this community,� he said.

But completing the project will take a commitment from many people. “Going the way we’ve been going, it’s going to take an extra effort,� he said.

Over the past two months, he said, volunteers from the baseball, soccer and lacrosse communities have given hundreds of hours of their time and effort, and three island contractors have donated time as well. While those efforts will continue, more bodies are needed — there are tasks for kids as well as adults.

Last weekend, some progress was made, with 10 volunteers working on Sunday morning and early afternoon, Mattingly said.

Treese said that as a member of the committee, his role is not to find money, but to make recommendations. “We can bring the board daylight that is necessary to see a clear picture before it runs over them,� he said.

The stakes in the project are high, he noted, and he believes it is important to keep the purpose of the fields in mind. “You walk around this park in full swing and see ‌ kids smiling and running around. That’s what you should be remembering,â€? he said.

Wellness event will preview women’s retreat NEWS BRIEFS Group still hopes to build a retreat center

By NATALIE JOHNSON Staff Writer

This weekend Hestia Retreat will put on its second annual Women’s Day of Wellness, an event organizers say will provide relaxing activities for women as well as give a preview of what they hope to one day offer at an actual retreat center on Vashon.

The event will be from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at Vashon Cohousing. Women can attend for a full or half day. “It’s a time for women to take time out for themselves, which is really what Hestia Retreat is all about and what the center will be about when it’s up and running,� said Mela (Pam) Bredouw, a founder of Hestia Retreat and an event organizer.

The idea for Hestia Retreat was born in 2009, when Bredouw, a life coach and retired urban planner, teamed up with Valerie Manusov, a professor of nonverbal communication at the University of Washington, over a shared vision to provide a place where Vashon women could find both an oppor-

tunity for solitude and renewal as well as a sense of community with other women.

Now, Hestia Retreat, with a eight-person board, offers monthly workshops on topics such as contemplative dance, yoga and finding authenticity, while also fundraising to build a retreat center for up to 50 women. “Even though we are in a beautiful, pastoral setting, many women are overly busy with either their jobs or taking care of their kids. ‌ They tend to put themselves last,â€?

Bredouw said. “The idea is that women can serve best if their own cup is full.�

Unlike last year, Bredouw said, the Day of Wellness isn’t being billed as a fundraiser — they expect to barely break even. But, she said, it will give island women a chance to sample what they hope to one day offer in abundance at Hestia Retreat. Attendees can practice yoga, meditation and dance, and take workshops on topics such as Ayurvedic Healing and Shamanic Journeying. There will be quiet areas to simply relax, and a slate of practitioners will offer sessions of foot massage, acupuncture, life coaching and more at steeply discounted rates.

“We wanted women to have a taste of all these different healing modalities that they might not sample otherwise,� Bredouw said.

Hestia Retreat organizers recently made a major move toward realizing their goal of a retreat center when they identified an 11-acre, partially wooded parcel they believe would be perfect to build a center with cabins, a lodge, a dining room and bathhouse. They hope to make an offer on the property, which is on the market, and soon apply for building permits.

The group is also raising funds to hire a professional fundraiser they hope will help them bring in approximately $3 million to complete the center. Bredouw said they hope a few major donors will cover the bulk of the costs. “It feel like everything is going absolutely perfectly,� she said. “There’s been a smooth and consistent increase in support. We all still have a lot of energy for it.�

To register for Women’s Day of Wellness, visit hestiaretreat. org, email info@hestiaretreat. org or pick up a form at Vashon Bookshop. Full-day participation is $90, and a half day is $50.

Guns sell fast in an impulse-driven culture

Now’s the time to chip in at the fields project

Quick sells and poor impulse control are a deadly combination

The Vashon Fields Project is at a crossroads, and now, more than ever, is the time for islanders to pick up their shovels and help out. If the district works hard to recruit volunteers, and those volunteers act now, they may just be able to put the problem-plagued project back on track in the next couple months.

There’s a huge need for new sports fields on this island. Not only does the island lack the field space required by our robust youth and adult sports programs, but the fields we do have are overused and inadequate. Most will agree that the new fields will be put to great use.

Over the last couple years, however, the district has struggled to raise funds and carry out the project. There’s been a lot of confusion, and even anger, over why the project hasn’t progressed as originally planned. We at The Beachcomber, even, have struggled to understand how the work has been handled, where money has gone and what went wrong.

But recently, the district seems to have turned a page.

There’s fresh leadership there, and parks commissioners admit that mistakes have been made. An Oversight Committee recently formed to keep tabs on the fields and make recommendations. Board meetings are still tense at times, but there’s a sense that parties want to work together, move past the arguments and get the job done.

Now, the district is in a tight spot. There’s much work to be done at the fields to meet a June 30 deadline to keep a $152,000 state grant. If it loses the grant, the already cashstrapped district will find itself in an even worse financial situation, and it’s difficult to imagine how the project would move forward. The district can’t afford to hire out the work, and a construction expert has said it’s too much for volunteers to complete. However, the fields project manager and at least one commissioner say they have faith that with enough volunteer commitment, the work can be done and the grant secured. Even if the June deadline isn’t met, perhaps volunteers can make enough progress for the state to consider an extension.

Throughout the turmoil at the park district, many have said they still support the fields and will put in their own time to see them completed. And some have been volunteering — teams have recently held work parties and a front-page photo this week shows The Harbor School lending a hand. But the scope of work left to be finished by June 30 will require a significant effort, the likes of which we haven’t seen yet. The project manager has said there are jobs for all ages, and those with construction experience will undoubtedly be needed to handle some tasks.

We hope the district makes great efforts to recruit volunteers, and we hope islanders come out of the woodwork when asked. The entire community, even those without children, will benefit from living in a place where sports are easily accessible.

In the furious debate regarding the constitutionally protected right to bear arms, I find the most compelling issue to consider in these “discussions� rarely mentioned by either side of the argument. The issue of impulse control on the part of the individual seems to be something we are collectively uncomfortable considering.

Perhaps it is because the culture in which we operate our lives, one that is economically driven, critically depends for its very survival on a significant amount of poor impulse control on the part of consumers. Madison Avenue spends enormous money and time researching ways to encourage, even manipulate, impulse buying.

As a former marketing professional and practicing psychotherapist, I made the switch from the corporate world of marketing to psychology primarily because what interested me most in marketing was (of course) the psychology of marketing, or what is known as consumer behavior. The core question in consumer behavior is, “What will bring the consumer to the purchase decision?� How do we move that demand curve on the product or idea?

What I learned in business school and on the job is that the most cost-effective, short-term strategy for selling anything —

VIOLENCE

By CYNTHIA ZHEUTLIN product, service or ideology — is leveraging people’s fear.

You see it in the lion’s share of advertising, mostly in the form of tapping into our collective need to belong, to succeed, to get our needs met. From the toothpaste ads that sell you not toothpaste, but that edge to have the dazzling white smile to win that job or that girl/ guy, to political ads which tap in to not the concept of equality or even rights, but the fear of someone taking them away along with the shame that is surely ours if we allow it to happen, this strategy sells like hotcakes. The “sell� is always emotional.

What happens over time, when fear is the currency of the information with which we are constantly bombarded, is that we learn to live reactively rather than proactively. Unfortunately, this means we are almost never listening to anything other than the fear and anxiety nattering in our ears from one source or another. When we live defensively out of fear, it is easy to become a tool of our own emotions. Our behavior becomes increasingly impulsive rather than rationally considered.

Which brings me to issues like

Vashon Health Center

*TMBOEFST TIPVME IFTJUBUF UP BUUBDL PSHBOJ[BUJPO TBWJOH PVS DMJOJD At the meeting at McMurray on Wednesday night with a representative of the Franciscan Health System, I left the meeting worried that Vashon Islanders had lost sight of the big picture. Without the deep pockets of the FHS, it is only a matter of time before the clinic closes. Based on my professional experience, the FHS brings to Vashon access to exemplary medical and hospital services that cover the entire body from head to toe — not only the reproductive system. Looking around the room at McMurray, it occurred to me that

the occupants of that room are much more likely to need cardiac care than reproductive counseling.

Reflect on the McMurray meeting and then compare the clinic to a fishing boat sinking far out at sea.

Suddenly, the crew hears the welcoming thwopitythwopity-thwopity of a Coast Guard rescue helicopter that plucks everyone from peril. On the flight back, should the rescued crew take that opportunity to harangue the helicopter crew about Coast Guard policies they did not like?

We should be very glad that the FHS is willing to take us on.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

STAFF PUBLISHER: ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR: CIRCULATION:

gun control versus gun rights.

Guns exist to destroy — objects or beings — that is the sole purpose of a gun. It has no other use, so it was designed to accomplish that goal very effectively. So when you combine a highly effective vehicle for destruction (the gun) with behavior that is driven by fear — and, therefore, reactive — you have a deadly combination walking around looking for the proverbial “place to happen.�

This dilemma is not particularly new to our culture; after all there is actually a legal defense for “crimes of passion,� considered to be something like “temporary insanity.� So if this poor impulse control type of behavior is so established in our culture, why is this not a consideration in these debates over gun rights and restrictions?

I know this is a complex issue with a variety of variables that can come into play. However, from a marketing perspective, this is the perfect storm for selling weapons.

If there were more restrictions on guns, the marketing for the gun manufacturers would shrink. And in an economically driven society, that’s the smoking gun — the evidence to justify massive short-term weapons sales as is continuously reported in the media. The retail outlets literally cannot keep them on the shelves. With the sheer volume of these weapons around and easily accessible, impulse control — or lack, thereof — becomes an even more critical variable in play.

$MJOJD XPVME CF KFPQBSEJ[FE XJUIPVU 'SBODJTDBO IFMQ I read with interest an article published in The Seattle Times on Sunday, April 28.

The article concerned hospitals affiliating with Catholic-run systems. That article, together with comments that I have heard in our community have prompted me to write this letter.

There are ongoing discussions regarding faith-based restrictions on reproductive care and end-of-life decisions. However, there is another picture to be looked at in these discussions. Setting the religious and/or moral issues aside, we should be looking at the bigger picture. The bottom-line issue here on Vashon is the need for medical facilities.

I am under the impression that our clinic operates at a loss of approximately $250,000 per year. What is the economic impact of our island if the Franciscan Health System feels that they are not welcome here? Is there the possibility that the Franciscan system would simply close the facility? Are we then to have another ongoing annual fundraising effort, as we do with many organizations on this island, to try to operate the clinic without the support, powerful electronic systems, purchasing power and access to specialty care that we would have with the Franciscan system?

Having been active in the real estate business for many years, I can tell you that the first question that is asked by families considering a move to the island is about health care and medical facilities. If the Franciscan System decides to rid itself of

888 7"4)0/#&"$)$0.#&3 $0.

the burden of operating our clinic, there will be many seniors who will be leaving the island in order to be near medical facilities.

There would also be many families who will decide that life on the island does not offer services to fit their needs. What would the economic fallout be to our community?

Consider the economic impact if the Franciscan system thinks that they are not really wanted on Vashon and drop their support of the Vashon clinic. A saying that has persevered over the years in our family household is “be careful what you ask for, you may just get it.� — Dick Bianchi

3FMJHJPO TIPVMEO U BGGFDU IFBMUI DBSF TFSWJDFT Withholding medical procedures from patients that want it is about power, not medicine. The only religious values that matter in a doctor-patient relationship are, frankly, the patient’s.

When you decide to become a doctor, you are not deciding on a career path. You are deciding upon a community path. You’ve learned a set of skills that we all need.

Expecting patients to match your religious viewpoint (around issues as sensitive as survival, family planning and a peaceful passing) is wrong. Go do something else.

Leave the stresses of being a doctor to those with open-mindedness. There are many people who set parameters around making their services available to others.

I could offer a dance class, for example,

Page 7

that requires women to wear dresses! But it’s different when you’re a doctor. You can get through life without knowing how to dance. You cannot get through life with an untreated ectopic pregnancy.

From what I’ve read, the Franciscan Health System has a five- to 10-year process for bringing newly acquired medical facilities into full compliance with their religious doctrine. Think they won’t do it? Think again. On March 13, a battle over reproductive services exploded in Barcelona. Apparently, when the head of gynecology is not completely pro-life, this alone is “proof� that abortions, sterilizations and the morning-after pill will be offered. Simon Castellvi has a solution: Only put pro-life doctors in charge of gynecology at Catholic hospitals and then implement social services, family care services and education in natural family planning.

Believing that the Catholic Church will offer “unlimited� access to medical procedures and legally available medicines is naive. Want to protect a doctor’s right to have a personal opinion and still get hired?

Want everyone to have access to legal medical services? Then speak up now. — March Twisdale

Guns

(VO SJHIUT TVQQPSUFS T TUBUJTUJDT BSF NJTMFBEJOH Last week, my friend Gregg Rocheford published a letter citing some often-quoted

statistics about gun violence. The relatively low number of rifle murders as opposed to blunt objects, knives, etc. is really quite striking, but only if one assumes that “rifle� includes all homicides using firearms. I believe that this is the assumption that advocates of less gun regulation want you to make. When you include homicides by handguns, the picture looks entirely different.

My figures are from 2009 per the U.S. Census (from the FBI as well), so don’t correspond exactly with the FBI statistics he quotes from 2011, but are roughly similar: Murders by rifles — 352, by blunt objects — 623, hands, fists, etc., — 815, knives —1,836, handguns — 6,503, shotguns and other unspecified guns — 2,348.

In all, the number of firearm murders, at 9,203, is almost double the number of murders by all other weapons combined.

You can check these statistics here: www. census.gov/compendia/statab/2012/ tables/12s0310.pdf He also notes the clearly high lethality of motor vehicles. With the number of vehicles on the road and the number of bikers and pedestrians exposed to them, it is a wonder that the numbers aren’t worse than they are. According the Centers For Disease Control, between 1968 and 1991, vehicle deaths went down 21 percent while firearm deaths went up 60 percent. The decrease in vehicle fatalities is attributed to stricter regulation of traffic, vehicle and road design and education. Firearm fatalities might also drop with some application of the same. — Terry Sullivan

On Saturday, opening day of the island’s youth baseball and softball season, these Vashon Community Care residents bundled up and headed out to Jim Martin Field, where they watched the Blue Rockets, the t-ball team they are sponsoring, play before the traditional opening day festivities got under way. Mimi Walker is the young team’s coach.

All team sponsors pay $250, and the residents have raised the money themselves through various functions, including garage sales, according to Bettie Edwards, who is on the board at the center.

An art tour offers up a bounty of paintings, sculptures and much more

By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD Staff Writer

T

he appearance of spring blooms on Vashon always heralds another colorful experience — a new edition of the Vashon Island Art Studio Tour.

This year’s spring tour starts on Saturday and will run for two consecutive weekends — plenty of time for art lovers to roam the back roads of Vashon, searching out the scenic spots where potters, painters, sculptors, woodworkers and a host of other artistic types create and sell their work. A number of shops and galleries are also tour stops.

The free, self-guided tour, now in its third decade as an island event, is billed as a chance to engage directly with some of Vashon’s most creative residents and find out what makes them tick. A few artists will demonstrate their crafts, and according to one of the tour’s longtime participants, potter Liz Lewis, all of them are eager to discuss their processes with visitors. “It’s always an adventure,� said Lewis.

Lewis, along with a group of other artists, has played a key role in planning this year’s tour — a job she stepped into after the tour’s long-time coordinator, Jan Wall, resigned her post earlier this year.

Penny Grist will display “Planning and executing an event involving colorful garden art. so many artists is a complex job, and those of us who are filling the gap of her absence have new respect for the work that Jan did,� said For more information and a Lewis. “We artists are independent people map to 23 art studios repreand not always easy to organize.� sented on the tour, visit www. vashonislandartstudiotour.com.

Still, Lewis emphasized, enthusiasm for

the tour remains high among island artists. “For many of us, our studio shows, as part of the art tour, are the cornerstones of our annual cycles of work,� she said.

Ken Judd’s artwork includes this whimsical pooch.

Lewis has created a series of owl cups for the tour, and she’ll also show her latest kiln load of colorful earthenware pottery.

New to the tour this year is Kassana Holden, whose Burton gallery, Bergamot, is also a fullservice textile design studio. Another newcomer, Ken Judd, will bring an “outsider art� flavor to the tour, with funky figurative sculptures made from found objects. And a jeweler, Zuzana Korbelarova, will open up her newly finished Burton studio, Zuzko, to show off her latest jewelry creations.

One tour stalwart, Barnworks, closed after last winter’s art studio tour, but Lewis said that many artists who showed at that space and on its grounds can now be found in other spots.

Garden sculptures by Dean Hanmer, Gunter Reimnitz and Penny Grist are especially strong this year, she said.

Lewis urged islanders to get out and enjoy the tour — an event she promised will be full of surprises. “Many Vashon artists are well known for their work but take forays into new territory,� she said.

Liz Lewis will her show off her practical pottery.

The Vashon Senior Center serves four lunches a week, hosts a baked potato bar at each Gallery Cruise, celebrates holidays with a special meal each month, but it does not have a suitable kitchen.

To change that, a group of knitters who call themselves The Loafers have been stitching up a storm and will offer the results Saturday in an event they are calling Stitchin’ for a Kitchen.

They will host two sales of cozies for teapots and cups, iPhones and — in a true example of something for everyone — cozies for beer bottles. There will also be other handmade items for sale, including afghans, hats and scarves. To bring more attention to their cause, more than 20 knitters will be located around the island, talk-

ing about the senior center, accepting donations and, of course, knitting.

Senior center board member and Loafer Lois Yunker said the group was looking for a nonprofit to support, and having charred eight chickens in the center’s faulty oven, she suggested helping the longtime island agency. “It’s an impossible dream of mine,� she said. “I want to see the kitchen renovated. That’s my goal.�

The kitchen is more than 29 years old, said Ava Apple, the center’s director, and some of the appliances are older than that. One of the two ovens does not work; the other has only one rack; the lime-covered dishwasher is on its last legs, and years ago the fire marshal forbid them from turning on the grill — meaning they cannot so much as fry bacon or cook a burger.

Furthermore, Apple said, the center takes nutrition seriously. Lunch, for example, which typically draws between eight and 18 people, is sometimes the only hot meal that some people get.

Currently, Vashon Community Care provides the lunches, but the center would also like to be able to provide lighter fair, Apple said.

To renovate the kitchen, $40,000 to $50,000 will be needed, Yunker said.

Organizers are hoping for $6,000 to $8,000 from this event and would like to begin a renovation by fall. “I have big dreams,� she said.

The Stitchin’ for a Kitchen’s sales will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Farmers Market and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the senior center.

By KEVIN ROSS For The Beachcomber

Under blue skies and 70-degree weather, last week’s track and field meet was the perfect setting to recognize seniors for their efforts in the Vashon High School track and field program. This year’s senior recognition was done at Charles Wright Academy during a meet on Thursday, April 25.

Vashon’s boys team finished third overall at the meet with 40 points. Cedar Park Christian won the meet with 125.5 points.

Annika Hille won the 100-meter sprint in 13.35 and won the triple jump at 31 feet, 10.5 inches. Hille also won second place in the long jump event, finishing just behind Clements.

The Pirates capped off their week with a

The highest finish for a Pirate at the event went to Landon Summers, who finished second overall in the 110-meter high hurdles in a time of 16.34.

Two losses followed by a win bring Pirate baseball to an even record

By RITA ALLMAN For The Beachcomber

In a three-game week, the Pirates baseball team took two losses, but ended with a win against Charles Wright.

The Pirates visited Cascade Christian on Monday, April 22, to battle the Cougars.

Vashon grabbed a quick 3-0 lead in the first inning. The Pirates added to their run total with two in the second, two in the fourth and one in the fifth to take a seemingly comfortable 8-0 lead into the bottom of the fifth. However, the lead quickly shrank to 1 point as the Cougars put up seven runs in the fifth. Cascade continued their scoring with three more in the sixth, leading to a

10-8 come-from-behind victory.

Ezra Lacina pitched the first five innings for Vashon allowing only two hits, five walks and striking out five. Sam Yates came on in the sixth and gave up two hits with one strikeout and a walk. The Cougars scored 10 runs on only four hits, aided by six walks and six errors.

The Pirate offense was led by Kelly Sullivan, Ben Reoux, Logan Hawkins and Zach Drape, who all had two hits on the day. Josh Myer and Ryan Bernheisel each added a single. Line score: Cascade Christian 10 runs, 4 hits, 4 errors, Vashon 8 runs, 10 hits, 6 errors.

The Pirates continued the scoring with four in the third and one in the fourth to lead 11-7. The Cruisers narrowed the lead to 11-10 with three runs in the fourth. The score remained that way until the bottom of the seventh, when Eatonville put up two, bringing them a 12-11 win.

This year the school turned over its beautiful campus to 2,000 young rowers, coxswains and coaches from 37 clubs representing Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. Over three days, athletes rowed in 178 races in more than 40 categories on a 1,500-meter course.

The Brentwood Regatta is an event enjoyed annually by the juniors and their parents alike. Rowers “live� in taped-off areas in the gym, eat their meals in the campus dining hall and generally enjoy getting to know each other on and off the water.

When the final horn sounded on race 178 on Sunday, Vashon’s crew had entered 25 events, moving successfully through the heat round in 17 of them to win 12 medals in the finals — seven gold, two silver and three bronze. Adjusted for club size, Vashon’s junior rowers placed fifth

overall in the regatta. This performance was a major achievement from a program of just 40 rowers (26 earned medals) up against area competitors with well over 150 rowers each.

A noteworthy performance was put forward by Gus Magnuson, who won the individual men’s open single category on Sunday morning, pulling away from the field in the final 500 meters in a powerful sprint.

Magnuson came back later in the morning joined by Tate Gill to take the men’s open double race, again with a powerful sprint to gain open water at the finish line. The prestigious trophies will be engraved with Vashon Island Rowing Club as the 2013 winners.

Magnuson also was half of the winning boat in this category last year — a doubly unique accomplishment.

In the 16-and-under women’s double race, Kirsten Girard and Kallie Heffernan rowed to a firstplace victory. Their race was one of several where an early lead paid off, as several competitors in the race were blown together and into a buoy. The Vashon double’s performance in

ers at one time,� Vashon would have won it without contest. The men’s novice quartet of Forrest Miller, Lorenzo Higuera, Jacob Plihal and Fletcher Call won gold medals in both the quad and four competitions, with Olivia Mackie

and Liv Mangione splitting coxswain duties.

On Saturday the women’s novice quad of Leanne Anderson, Caprial Turner, Tea Schafer and Emily Milbrath, with cox Mangione, took first place. A short time later, Vashon won another gold with the 16-and-under novice women’s quad of Mei Lee Vandervelde and Kira Rabourn joining Turner, Milbrath and coxswain Mackie. In the last race of the regatta, the women’s novice quad of Anderson, Turner, Schafer and Milbrath closed out Vashon’s memorable novice performance with a silver medal.

In congratulating the team on its performance, coach Richard Parr cited Magnuson’s performance and thanked assistant coach Tom Kicinski for his support and the early inspiration of Gus and Tate Gill when they first started rowing for the Vashon program. “It has been a wonderful weekend of rowing, and now we turn our attention to the Northwest Junior District Championships coming up in three weeks,� he said.

have already begun to adorn island businesses, including Kronos, Heron’s Nest, Zombiez, Fulton Family Medicine and ZuZu’s Ice Cream. “The town of Vashon has so much character, hand-painted signs fit right in,� he said.

Rollins noted that Vashon has a tradition of hand-painted signs, and said he has long admired the work of islander Les Johnson, who painted many distinctive signs on Vashon during his lifetime, including the original signs for The Little House and the now-defunct Vashon Malt Shop. Rollins is also planning to pitch his services to businesses in Seattle and Tacoma, he said.

And of course, Rollins also plans to stay busy with his other two ventures — tattooing clients and building tattoo machines.

For Rollins, 40, tattoos and the various businesses that accompany them have long been a way of life.

He is a compact man with slicked-back white hair and wide sideburns, and his intense, blue-eyed gaze and quick smile are equally disarming. And of course, tattoos of his own put an exclamation mark on his

people — another tattooer, Casey Buxton, joined him in 2009, serving a traditional apprenticeship before taking on his own clients. Islander James Clapperton helps build and manage production of the tattoo machines, and Rollins’ wife Laura manages the businesses.

Sea Change Tattoo Parlor is appropriately named — in recent years, not only Rollins, but many other tattooers have seen their business grow as body art has become more prevalent, especially among young people.

The Pew Research Center recently reported that 38 percent of “millennials� — people in the 18 to 29 age bracket — who responded to a recent study reported having at least one tattoo. The survey also found that 32 percent of the generation prior to millennials, gen-Xers, were also tattooed.

The percentage of those with body art dropped significantly, to 15 percent, for baby boomers who were surveyed.

But even with the increasing popularity of tattoos, Rollins maintains an old-fashioned approach to his work, deflecting the question of how well-known he is for his artistry. Instead, he described his skills in a much more down-to-earth way. “We’re practiced and competent,� he said. “The goal is give a person a tattoo they’ll be proud of for the rest of their life.�

provide islanders access to more specialty services, ranging from cancer care to kidney dialysis. “We are very dedicated to keeping the same level of service, and, in fact, enhancing the services on the island for you,� she said.

However, after a long question-andanswer session that moderator Jim Hauser said was “in diplomatic terms, a free and frank exchange of ideas,� it seemed few people left the meeting entirely satisfied.

May Gerstle, who organized the meeting with Kate Hunter, said she had mixed feelings after it was over. “I came away with more information than I had before and more concerns,� she said.

The night’s messages were not clear, she added. “We got different and conflicting answers from the three people who fielded questions,� she said.

Retired physician Chris Davis, however, felt differently and noted that some in the audience were not polite. After the meeting, he wondered if the Franciscans would still want to serve Vashon. “I felt some people were rude to the point of being truculent,� he said.

During the course of the evening, several people questioned the role a set of guidelines — the “Ethical and Religious Directives for

888 7"4)0/#&"$)$0.#&3 $0.

Catholic Health Care Services� — play in the Franciscan system. The U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops wrote the directives, which require Catholic health care systems to adhere to them.

Many of the concerns raised stem from the directives themselves, which forbid contraception, fertility services and abortion, including for ectopic pregnancies, a life-threatening condition for women.

Frequently when fielding questions about the directives, Kielian answered with longer responses but with a similar message: The directives guide the physicians, but the patient-physician relationship is sacred, and doctors treat their patients according to what is medically best for them.

Specifically, she said, doctors prescribe birth control, make referrals for fertility services and abortions and, in the case of an ectopic pregnancy — a concern that arose in one question — physicians save the life of the mother.

Some said they felt the speakers were failing to give straightforward answers to questions about the directives and were sticking to scripted responses.

At one point, Leslie Brown addressed what she said was an apparent dichotomy — that the guidelines call for adherence as a condition of employment and limit some care very specifically, yet the speakers were saying that Franciscan physicians provide care they deem medically best for the patient — care that could contradict one or more directives. “I want to know what the truth is,� she

Page 19

said to applause and cheers from the audience.

Kielian responded, in part, that the directives guide the Franciscans in the sacred work of healing and they are a continuum of moral judgment. Brown seemed to be looking for an absolute answer, she said, and because medicine has few absolutes, Kielian could not give her one.

Toward the end of the evening, Tim Johnson, the manager of Granny’s Attic and the president of the Vashon-Maury Island Community Council, returned to the directives because, he said, he felt people wanted a direct yes-or-no answer about them. “Yes or no,� he said. “Does your contract with your physicians specify that they will follow the directives?�

Kielian responded, “Yes, they do. Yes, they do. Our employment contract does.�

Dr. Stephen Spare, president and chief medical officer of the Franciscan Medical Group, and Benedum both said more follow-up was called for. Benedum said that there are few absolutes to be given, but one can be: Physicians can do what is best for their patients.

Spare also provided input. “The contract specifically states we will not interfere with their medical judgment,� he said.

In other lines of questioning, some asked about the Death with Dignity Act and the limits Franciscans might place on doctors.

Spare said physicians are not allowed to prescribe a life-ending medication, but

they are free to discuss patients’ options.

Typically, he said, the link to the Death with Dignity Act website is provided, as well as the a phone number for the Department of Health, which can provide more information.

Earlier in the evening, Benedum had also addressed end-of-life issues. “Your decisions at the end of life will be respected either in our clinic or in our hospital,� Benedum said. “That is very important to me as an individual and a CEO.�

Voicing more concerns about the directives, Laura Worth asked what kind of “chilling effects� they might have on hiring, important partially because Vashon has two physician openings. Benedum noted that the Franciscans have begun helping in that recruitment process.

The Franciscan system hired 75 physicians last year, Spare said, again stressing that the physician-patient relationship is paramount and addressing her concerns about religious influence. “I can tell you that as a Presbyterian, I don’t spend a lot of time in my recruitment interviews talking about the Catholic Church,� he said. “This idea that we are under hierarchical control of Rome is just not the case.�

May Gerstle asked if a citizens advisory group might form on Vashon to work collaboratively and give input to Highline on what islanders are passionate about.

Benedum responded affirmatively.

“I am all for it if it’s a two-way street,� he said. “Let’s do it.�

Benedum was not available the day after the meeting, but issued a statement affirming his support for such a group. “Looking to the future, we would welcome the opportunity to work with community members to further develop and grow health care services on Vashon.

Citizen engagement is an important part of building healthy communities,� he said.

Earlier in the evening, when the issue of the directives and ectopic pregnancies came up, Davis tried to offer his perspective from the rear of the room, but in the tightly moderated event, he was asked to hold his comments.

From 2002 to 2004, Davis served as the director of emergency services at St. Joseph Medical Center, the Franciscan’s hospital in Tacoma. In a later interview, he addressed some islanders’ concerns about the directives in general and ectopic pregnancies in particular.

Asked if the directives intruded on care

during his time there, he responded with a clear answer. “Quite the opposite,� he said.

As an example, in the emergency room at St. Joseph’s, physicians treated approximately one woman a month with an ectopic pregnancy, he said, “with fast, appropriate, life-saving care. ‌ At no time were the ob/gyn doctors exercising limited paradigms of care.â€?

Toward the end of the evening, a man who identified himself only as David spoke about health care and its current fiscal realities. “Health care is changing whether we want it to or not,� he said.

He asked both the audience and the board if the clinic was in the red or the black, and where it might be in five years. “If we do not do something, then this clinic will not be here,� he said.

It is this point that some islanders believe was lost in the meeting.

Davis, too, stressed the financial realities at the health center. “We really need the Franciscans to bail this clinic out,� he said. “If the clinic folds, where are people going to go?�

8FEOFTEBZ .BZ t 7BTIPO .BVSZ *TMBOE #FBDIDPNCFS

Davis said he believes concern about reproductive issues is admirable, but island health care needs are broad and require a range of services. He also questioned how many health care systems would be eager to support a money-losing clinic on Vashon.

Sunrise Ridge Board President Greg Martin also attended the meeting, and said he, too, was frustrated by the tone of the evening and many important issues that were not addressed. Many people he talked to, he said, felt the same way.

The Sunrise Ridge board, he said, helps to provide for medical care on the island. “The landlord is waiting to see how we can assist Highline and the Franciscans in providing the best care we can on Vashon,� he said.

Johnson, however, said he talked to many people who were upset about the evening, feeling as though they had been “handled� and that answers had not been forthright.

But he, too, is concerned about access to care and feels many of those questions should be explored. In his role at the community council, he said he plans to ask the

board if they would be interested in hosting Highline and Franciscan representatives again, this time focusing on a wider range of issues, including Medicare, Medicaid, possible expansion of the health center and urgent care.

In closing the meeting, Hauser noted there had been repeated ambiguity, but also clarity and a lot of searching questions.

A few days after the meeting, Hauser said he believes the night’s conversation was typical for the island when it starts working with large, outside entities. “We begin relationships with sharp, close questioning,� he said.

And then he reiterated his final words of the meeting: “This is the beginning of a long relationship,� he said.

Is this your cat?

Seven year old Blue is that perfect mix of German Shepherd and Rottweiler. He has the intelligence, loyalty and sweetness of both breeds. He loves adults and children alike, plays well with other dogs, and knows a few commands. He has never been exposed to cats so his reaction to them is unknown. At 85 pounds this active dog needs an active owner to help slim him down. Playing ball and swimming are two favorite activities. Blue is full of personality, most notably his expressive speech. It is not a bark, not a whine, it is something else entirely. Come meet him and hear for yourself! There is a 125.00 adoption fee.

DANDY deserves a home - VIPP long-time resident. Dandy was found hanging around the Country Store back in 2008. She was a young, thin and searching for her next meal.

VIPP took her in. Dandy was very shy when she first came to the shelter. She would run from the volunteers. She has become a different cat now wanting to be petted by the volunteers and gaining their trust. She has become a friendly, social cat thanks to the dedication of our TLC volunteers. Dandy has beautiful golden locks which she keeps perfectly groomed. She gets along well with other cats. She is looking for an indoor home where she can feel safe and loved.

Dandy came came to VIPP on 2/21/08.
