VARSA reassesses GRISLY SCENE AT CAMP IS A DRILL FOR YOUNG VOLUNTEERS efforts with youth, works to keep funding
Camp Sealth turned into a disaster scene last weekend, when five fire department Explorer and cadet groups from around the region gathered for team building and training exercises that sharpened their emergency medical skills. The Washington Association of Future Firefighters organized the event, which brought 30 high school boys and 12 high school girls together for a weekend of emergency drills that included lost families, a plane crash in a nearby meadow and a massive earthquake that trapped four people under a nearby cabin. Each scenario carried a high degree of realism, according to Lieutenant Rick Brown, one of the advisors of the Vashon Explorers group. The lost family exercise required the students to locate the families, treat their injuries and transport them. The plane crash included staged explosions and six actors as victims — many made to appear gravely wounded — all in the pouring rain and darkness of Saturday night. On Sunday morning, in the midst of class, a loud “earthquake” caused an interruption, complete with two people injured nearby and others with gruesome crush injuries under a cabin up the hill. The students were called upon to stabilize the structure, treat the wounded with materials at hand and get them to safety. Brown and his wife Deborah Brown, also an Explorer advisor, said the training went extremely well. “We saw skills in the Explorers we did not know were there,” Deborah said. Rick Brown, who has co-led the Explorers for 16 years, noted it is an excellent program for teens to determine if they have what it takes to become a fire fighter or emergency medical responder. The exercises can be hard, he added, but the teens always focus on helping those who need it. “I have yet to see someone who was not able to get through this,” he said. At left, Vashon Explorers Ellen Chappelka and Alexander Wright, with an off-island student, attend to a group leader from Bald Hills, who played a severely injured earthquake victim.

The group working to tackle Vashon’s high levels of teen substance abuse is coming out of an ongoing dispute with Vashon Youth & Family Services (VYFS), and volunteers say they are now working to refocus their efforts in order to maintain their funding. The Vashon Alliance to Reduce Substance Abuse (VARSA) announced last week that it will delay reapplying for the highly competitive federal grant that provides about half of its funding. Instead, the volunteers will take a year to focus on handling their other large grant, strengthen their efforts and get more volunteers and young people involved. Doing so, they believe, will help their chances of garnering the second five-year phase of the federal Drug Free Communities (DFC) grant. The grant, which VARSA was first awarded in 2009, has the potential to bring $1.25 million in funding over the decade for island efforts to address the environmental and cultural norms behind teen substance abuse. The first five-year phase of the grant will end in September. According to VARSA coalition member Robin Blair, only about 3 percent of coalitions around SEE VARSA, 21

Businessman reflects on decades in septic work Vashon’s only septic pumping service has changed hands By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
His business has taken him to thousands of homes on the island and dubbed him Vashon’s number one exporter. It has been difficult, smelly and sometimes messy, but Larry Niece still calls pumping septic systems his “true calling.” “I loved being in business for myself,” said Niece, 75, in a recent interview. “And I was doing something people needed to
have done.” Niece recently retired after 40 years in the septic business. And earlier this year he sold Niece Pumping, a septic pumping service he built from the ground up and the only business on Vashon that currently offers such service. “I’m comfortable with it,” Niece said of handing over his longtime business. “I’m less comfortable with leaving the island. … It’s been a great place to live.” Niece, a bespectacled man with a full head of silvery gray hair and a short gray beard, moved from Chicago to Vashon in 1977 with his family, leaving behind a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry. With a master’s degree in business and a
PhD in chemistry, Niece set to work designing septic systems for island homes, running the new business with his wife. Niece Design Group, as the small company was called, did well on Vashon, a place where many more homes had septic systems than were connected to the sewer system. After a few years the company began installing and repairing island septic systems as well. By the 1990s, however, new construction had slowed. At the same time, the demand for pumping existing septic systems was high. Niece, who is now divorced, invested in some new equipment and shifted his focus to pumping. SEE SEPTIC, 14

New foundation will raise funds for care center By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
To improve the long-term financial health of Vashon Community Care (VCC), a group of islanders has recently created a nonprofit foundation. The idea behind the new Vashon Community Care Foundation is to build a strong financial base that will secure VCC’s future, said Truman O’Brien, who was the president of VCC’s board for five years and was instrumental in creating the new nonprofit. Members of the foundation will take over fundraising tasks previously performed by VCC employees, O’Brien said. And in a new model for raising funds, foundation board members will reach out to community members for monthly donations. “We will ask people to pledge a minimum amount each month,� O’Brien said. “That will allow VCC to focus on providing five-star care.� One of the financial challenges facing VCC is that part of its mission is to serve residents regardless of their ability to pay. This means that at any given time, Medicaid, which covers only 49 percent of the cost of assisted living and 70 percent of the cost of skilled nursing, might be paying for the care of a high number of residents.
This deficit leads to a funding gap, O’Brien noted. That gap was just over $1 million last year and is expected to be roughly that amount this year as well. In 2013, he said, the center was able to budget for most of that shortfall but turned to the community to raise the remaining $250,000. This year, he said, the community will be asked to contribute $300,000. Linda Milovsoroff, the development director of VCC, now also serves as the executive director of the foundation. Such a foundation has been discussed for some time, she said, and she is pleased it has come to fruition. “I am thrilled we are taking this big step and creating this for the future sustainability of VCC,� she said. “I think it will make a big difference.� Most senior living centers are either for-profit or backed by a religious organization, Milovsoroff said. VCC, a community-owned, non-profit senior living facility, is an unusual find — with possibly only two such organizations in the state — and island support is vital. “We need the community to step up and maintain it on a regular basis,� she said. The foundation hopes to bring in $20,000 on a monthly basis, she
added. This amount will meet the operating funding gap, and larger donors will be asked to donate funds that will be earmarked for the operating reserve. “This will give (large) donors a better sense of the long-term sustainability of their donations and that their money will not just be used for immediate needs,� she said. Janelle Ansel, VCC’s administrator who also serves on the board of the foundation, said having a true foundation is a testimony to how successful VCC is at providing care. She said it also highlights how fortunate VCC is to be able to make up a large portion of the Medicaid funding gap. To a large extent, she said, VCC does so through the rehabilitation services it began offering in 2011, which bring in revenue and serve an island need. Now, both Milovsoroff and O’Brien said, foundation members will reach out to the community and civic groups, inviting them to become sustaining members. But people do not need to pledge large amounts each month to be helpful, O’Brien noted. “If we got every household on the island to donate $20 a month, that would do it,� he said.

Islander to offer class on K2 says it will address issues related to hepatitis pollution, has not yet By SUSAN RIEMER For The Beachcomber
Hepatitis C, a common blood-born illness that affects the liver, will be the subject of a class on Vashon next week. Islander Steve Graham, the board chair of the Hepatitis Education Project in Seattle, will offer the class to provide information about the virus, including how the disease is spread, symptoms and treatments, and encourage people to get tested. The most recent figures about the disease, which made health news headlines earlier this month, show that most of the roughly 3 million people affected in this country are the baby boomer set — men and women born between 1945 and 1965. “This is a huge problem, and it’s not going away,” Graham said. This information is particularly important on Vashon, Graham noted, because the island has a high number of people in this age group. While he does not have solid data about the prevalence of the disease on the island, he said state Department of Health records indicate there were 13 hepatitis C-related deaths on Vashon between 1991 and 2010, a higher number than anticipated for a community of this size. “We have every reason to believe there is a hidden hepatitis C problem on the island,” he said. The good news, Graham said, is that there has been
considerable progress recently in treating hepatitis C. Two new medications — sofosbuvir and simeprevir — were recently approved for treatment, and more are expected to be approved next year. Currently, public health officials say, more people die from Hepatitis C than from AIDS, even though hepatitis C is not always fatal. Frequently, people who have the illness have no symptoms, and most do not know they have been infected with it, Graham said. While a small percentage of people are able to get rid of the virus, most go on to develop a chronic hepatitis C infection. Those with the illness have a much higher risk of developing liver disease, liver cancer and other chronic health issues, Graham said. Hepatitis C is blood-born virus that can be spread through sharing needles with an infected person, from needle stick injuries among health care personnel in the workplace and previously was spread from blood transfusions and organ transplants. Since 1992, however, blood has been tested for the virus, eliminating this route of transmission. The Centers for Disease Control recommends that all people born between 1945 and 1965 get tested for the virus. The class, which is free, will meet from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, March 19, at the Ober Park performance room.
taken action with DOE K2 and Jarden still stand by environmental testing By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
The company that owns the K2 building says it will address known contamination at the site, but it has not yet taken steps to get the property removed from the state Department of Ecology’s (DOE) cleanup list, according to a DOE official. After a local organization, the Backbone Campaign, recently called attention to the environmental condition at the K2 site, the president of K2 Sports, Anthony De Rocco, sent a letter to the King County executive and county councilmembers. In the letter dated Feb. 24, De Rocco said K2 and its parent company, Jarden, would take steps to secure a No Further Action (NFA) determination from DOE with regard to the only known contamination at levels requiring cleanup at the site — diesel oil that leaked into the soil from a tank that was removed in 2008. The department issues NFA letters to property owners when contamination has either been cleaned or addressed to state standards. De Rocco sent another letter about the property, which it intends to sell to a company that will make marijuana products there, to DOE. In that letter he said K2 and Jarden are “cognizant of our obligation to take appropriate action and we are committed to doing so.” Donna Musa, a site hazard assessment coordinator with DOE’s toxics cleanup program, said she saw the letter, but so far neither company has moved to enroll in the state’s Voluntary Cleanup Program, the only way to obtain such an NFA determination. “They didn’t give us any details going forward,” Musa
said. “Until we get that application, we have no indication that they intend to do it.” De Rocco could not be reached for comment, but Lorelei Borland, vice president of environmental and regulatory affairs at Jarden, said the company does still plan to address the issue. Based on advice from environmental consultants, she said, Jarden hopes to obtain a type of conditional NFA determination from DOE. Since the oil that couldn’t be cleaned a few years ago is under the building’s foundation, Jarden believes it doesn’t pose a risk and that DOE may give the company permission to leave the area alone unless the building is eventually demolished. Should Jarden not be able to obtain such a conditional NFA letter, Borland said, it will enter the Voluntary Cleanup Program, “It’s unlikely Ecology would require us to take a building down for a small amount of diesel soil,” she said. At the Backbone Campaign, director Bill Moyer said he is still demanding that K2 and Jarden do additional environmental testing at the site to determine if any cleanup is necessary there. Should the companies not work toward obtaining an NFA letter that applies to the entire site, as a Backbone Campaign petition calls for, he will consider expanding the current petition to a nationwide one. “It’s not like we want to find something. We want to properly characterize the site,” Moyer said. Borland declined to comment on Moyer’s petition but said she stood by the environmental testing that has been done at the K2 property. “I’m very comfortable with their report,” she said. Meanwhile, another state official has said that any contamination at the K2 site would likely not pose a threat to Vashon’s drinking water. In an email from Kitty Weisman, a program manager with the state Department of Health’s Office of Drinking Water, to Water District 19 commissioner Jenny Bell and other state officials, Weisman describes how the aquifer under K2 that feeds the district’s main well and is 600 feet deep. She also says geological features would likely prevent any contamination from making it into the aquifer. Weisman could not be reached for comment. In an email to The Beachcomber, Bell noted that more shallow private wells exist nearby and said that Water District 19 “continues to assess the situation with each piece of new info.”

With eyes on Vashon, let’s debate pot the right way The potential marijuana edibles factory at the K2 building has divided our community like nothing we can remember. For every islander that has reasonable worries about locating one of the state’s largest marijuana businesses in the heart of Vashon, there’s another person with a reasonable stance on why the legal and highly regulated business makes sense here. And those two people are often friends. It doesn’t help that the issue is clouded by other concerns not even related to marijuana. Some are shining a light on environmental testing done at the K2 site, and at least one islander is pointing out that the business would likely use a huge amount of energy. Those who both support this legal marijuana business and are environmentally conscious likely find themselves confused. The pending purchase of the K2 building has spurred some thoughtful debate, but it has also brought out some of the worst in Vashon discourse. We’ve heard name calling, accusations, conjecture and no shortage of the term NIMBY. That’s not even to mention the words that have flown over social media. Colorado’s governor, John Hickenlooper, recently called marijuana legalization “one of the great social experiments of the 21st century.” If Washington is a starting place for this great marijuana experiment, it feels as though Vashon is ground zero, and legal pot sales haven’t even started yet. As we wrestle as a community with the new reality of pot business in our midst — something that is sure to be with Vashon for some time — we hope islanders can keep a few things in mind. First, let’s debate with accurate information. Uninformed arguments or those driven by emotion rather than fact won’t help. Second, as Gov. Hinkenlooper pointed out, none of us knows exactly how legalization is going to play out or what unintended consequences there may be. It’s simply new territory, and Hinkenlooper recommended caution. Let’s use that same caution before disregarding our neighbors — they could be right in the end. Finally, we believe those on both sides of this issue have the community’s interests in mind. There aren’t any villains here, just people with different perspectives and different priorities. It’s right for us to wrestle as a community with this issue of pot at K2 and with the other outcomes of marijuana legalization. It’s good for us to seek answers to our questions and even to make requests of our elected officials. But when we talk, let’s not forget to listen as well. When it’s all said and done, we’ll still be neighbors, friends and people who in many ways depend on one another as we inhabit this island in the sound. Vashon will continue to thrive, whether or not it becomes home to a large exporter of marijuana candy. As many have pointed out, the country’s eyes are on Washington as it moves into this new era. And we believe an increasing number of eyes are now on Vashon. We hope we can navigate this new territory in a way that makes us proud to be islanders, rather than letting a vacant building on the highway become a beacon of something that tore our community apart.

Cannabis confusion creates increased risk for teens, who can be harmed by its use Awareness about the risks of marijuana use by teens is at a critical point right now in our state and our own community on Vashon. The “new normal” in our society includes the availability of both medical cannabis and legal recreational marijuana and all the confusion in between. Without taking sides on legalization, it is the message of “normalcy” about this drug that concerns those who work with youth. Youth watch what we as adults do and say, and it is important to be clear about our messages about marijuana. Access by youth to medicinal cannabis by legitimate or illegitimate means is exposing youth to an increasingly potent drug, either through smoking or through flavored edibles in the form of candy, cookies, popcorn and other appealing products. Eighteenyear-olds can obtain authorization to purchase medical marijuana. A recent Seattle Times article mentioned a new strain of medicinal pot called “beast mode” due to the almost 18-percent THC (delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol) content. You can’t go to the Vashon Pharmacy and get “beast mode” aspirin or pain relievers. We are naming medicine after football heroes and creating food products that contain high levels of THC. Some area schools have reported to me that they have seen youth overdose on THC edibles because the kids have no idea how powerful and long lasting the drug is. A recent survey in Seattle found that a high percentage of marijuana being used by youth came from medical marijuana dispensaries. We are currently debating whether to allow a huge grow operation on the main highway pretty close to my office. Legal THC products will include candy and other edibles, which are attractive to children. We have been here before with cigarette and alcohol marketing products that are attractive to teens and children, and it took years of concern from parents and others to stop this form of marketing. A recent Center for Substance
MARIJUANA By STEPHEN BOGAN Abuse Research Survey of 12th-graders reports that their perceived risk of regular marijuana use is at the lowest level since 1978. In 1978, the average THC potency was less than 3 percent, and now the average THC level is 15 percent, and often even higher with concentrated hash oils and other cannabis products. The survey found that only 40 percent of 12th-graders thought that regular marijuana use was a great risk. High potency in marijuana and very low perception of risk are critical elements to a perfect storm of potential increased use, adolescent brain effects and dependency on the drug. New forms of THC being manufactured and sold as hash oil are even more concentrated, often 40 to 70 percent THC. This new marijuana is a drug powerful enough to cause shortand long-term changes to the teen brain and increase the risk of dependency. The scientific evidence about negative effects of marijuana use by adolescents is increasing as the drug becomes more potent. Early regular use can cause neural changes that impair teens’ ability to focus, learn from mistakes and think abstractly. Early users did more poorly on tests of cognitive functions and made critical incorrect responses described as “cognitive inflexibility.” Early use of marijuana causes lasting change to people’s “working memory,” which is the source of recall for basic information used for solutions to everyday problems. Working memory is also a strong predictor of academic achievement. A 2012 New Zealand study of 13- to 38-year-olds found that those who started regular use as teens lost up to eight IQ points

over their lifetime as adults. It should be noted that the average THC level when the study was started in 1991 was less than 5 percent. Damage could be increased by much more potent marijuana. Regular use has a stronger negative relationship to academic outcomes like reduced GPA and dropping out than alcohol.
Having talks with your middle and high school children about marijuana is much more complicated than it used to be. Naturally occurring cannabinoid compounds in our brains allow us to feel awe and wonder about the world. That doesn’t mean that our brains are designed for an endless pot party. Marijuana overloads the cannabinoid receptors and down-regulates our natural ability to feel good on our own. This new THC is stronger than our own reward system can handle. Having talks with your middle and high school children about marijuana is much more complicated than it used to be. If you think your kid is “experimenting” with the same kind of marijuana you used when you were in high school, you may feel you have little to warn them about, especially if you made it through your stoner period and came out OK. But many parents were not experimenting with marijuana at age 12 (the average age of first use now), and they weren’t using cannabis with a THC content of 15 to 20 percent or more. This is not your dad’s pot. Have the conversation with your children now. Ask them to give you a tutorial on the “new normal” of cannabis. Then take your stand about the risks of this drug in spite of the confusion and controversy. — Stephen Bogan is a counselor in private practice on Vashon and West Seattle. He specializes in addiction recovery, including marijuana.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR K2
We need to know more about contamination I am not writing a letter for or against a marijuana operation at the K2 site. I simply want to clarify why I think it is important that a more thorough site evaluation to assess potential contamination be done at K2. I understand why people are asking, “Why bring up these issues now?” I did not know that a site evaluation had been done back in 2008 and only recently obtained a copy of the reports. These reports were apparently commissioned by K2 and were intended to be internal documents. The first document, referred to as a Phase 1 evaluation, identifies Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) where there is the likely presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products that could be present in the soil, surface water or groundwater. The report identified 13 locations (RECs) of concern at K2. The Phase II evaluation is supposed to be on-the-ground testing of all of the identified RECs to see if there is contamination. As I look at the lay of the land, it seems as if the sampling plan was designed NOT to find anything. Indeed, no samples were taken to assess contamination in seven of the 13 identified RECs. When soil samples were collected, they were often up gradient from the identified source of contamination — even hazardous waste flows downhill, folks. All samples were collected on one dry day in June, so there was no attempt to evaluate
contamination of our surface or ground waters. Despite the incredible deficiencies in the sampling program, three of the 12 soil samples, taken at random depths between 4 and 14 feet, showed contamination with trichloroethylene (TCE), a degreaser and probable carcinogen. This result, although below the levels requiring clean-up, gave me pause — 25 percent of the soil samples taken at random depths show contamination with a probable carcinogen. We need to know more and if clean-up is warranted, let’s make it happen.

A horticultural operation will not tax Water District 19’s supply, as a rainwater catchment system will be used. Another user might not be able to use rainwater, possibly creating a large demand on our already stretched District 19 supply. Any pollution that may already exist on the property will not be exacerbated by Edipure’s use. Edipure’s pending purchase is an absolute gift to our community. They have stated that they cannot possibly use all the buildings onsite and are interested in making some available to non-profits. Another purchaser might not be interested in that or in a financial position to do so.
The zoning was changed from Industrial to accommodate the plans of a potential purchaser. Changing it back makes sense because it is an industrial property. We need our limited assets used to create jobs. The benefits to all our business owners should not be ignored. More paychecks positively affect every islander. How many more years might we have to wait for this great asset to be put back to use? We need Edipure doing business here instead of driving them off-island to a different facility. — Linda Schaeffer
— Susie Kalhorn
Let’s welcome Edipure and create jobs for islanders I support changing the K2 zoning for Edipure to proceed with their business plan. Being familiar with the state’s marijuana licensing laws, I’m comfortable that Edipure is a positive addition to our community. I feel that much of the opposition is based on ignorance of the law for this new industry. We overwhelmingly approved legal marijuana here; let’s get on with this new industry and let islanders enjoy the financial gains. Jobs are needed. Precious few new jobs are created here. Others have tried to make this white elephant property usable, but none successfully. Opposition to electricity demands doesn’t make much sense because they will just do business elsewhere, using the same amount of electricity.

Vashon Crew thanks community
Labor of Love a Success!
The Vashon Island Rowing Club and Junior Crew wish to thank the Vashon community for its incredible support. Whether it is bringing your dirty cars to our car washes (first spring car wash March 29th…mark your calendars), buying T-shirts and stickers or donating generously to our fundraisers you have allowed us to buy new equipment, provide financial aid for those in need and send our teams far and wide to regattas. Our program has thrived because of your support. In the past few years junior and master rowers have qualified for and medalled in National and World Championships bringing attention to the program from around the country. This attention translates to college scholarships and admissions whose value to Vashon graduates totals well over a million dollars just in the past 5 years. Special thanks to our corporate donors including Shawn Hoffman from Vashon IGA Market, John and Beth De Groen of Windermere Vashon Real Estate, Leslie Mackie of Macrina Bakery, Norm Matthews of Vashon Island Thriftway, Foss Miller and Linda Sferra of Pacific Research Labs/Sawbones and Mary Kay Rauma from Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie. Contributions from these sponsors as well as many others too numerous to list have allowed the club to purchase 6 new racing shells in the last two years. These stiff, lightweight craft translate to faster times and more wins on the water. Thank you, Vashon!
Thank you to the many donors and bidders who made the 2014 Labor of Love online auction a success for Vashon Community Care. A total of $16,015 was raised from the auction to benefit resident programs at VCC. Many bouquets of thanks goes out to all the many Islanders who participated in the auction, either by donating their services or bidding on the over 250 items in the auction.

Q:
We’ve only been in this house for a couple of years but the last few weeks of rain are creating a huge pond in our front yard for the first time. We can hardly drive down the driveway because it’s become a river! What can we do? What damage does this do to the property! Will the house flood?
A:
Let me begin by saying welcome to the northwest! Many parts of the entire western portion of our state get flooded annually, some years worse than others. We have a very high water table so it doesn’t take much to flood. It isn’t always low areas either. However, it is a normal part of living in western Washington. As for your yard, as long as the water isn’t causing any major issues with your home, like flooding a basement, it should recede as soon as the rain stops for awhile and do no harm. I have flooding on my property in heavy rains but it’s absorbed in a day or two and replenishes our aquifer. If the water sits a long time or is causing damage to your house you should consult a good local contractor or a drainage expert to see if “French” drains, or curtain drains would be a good idea to protect your home. On small lots, a sump pump under the house might be a quick and relatively inexpensive fix. Many people new to our region get upset because of rainwater issues. Please keep in mind that all that rain is why we have such a lush and green environment here and part of the reason we can grow pretty much any fruit and vegetables except citrus. Channeling and saving that water is both an art and a science. Many Vashon folks are saving rainwater and using it for irrigation or even as an integral part of their home water system, like using it for flushing toilets. Even our local school district is doing that at our new high school.

Changes at Center businesses reflect positive start Two businesses that started in the Old Fuller Store at Center last year have seen early success and are growing as a result. Bookman West, the rare and collectible book store owned by Randy Barnes and Casey DeLoach, has moved to a larger space in the Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie building, accessed through the Minglement. “We built a devoted customer base pretty quickly,” DeLoach said, “and business has been steady. But we needed more room to expand our inventory, both to keep up with demand but also to grow and continue to attract new customers.” The space the store now occupies is twice the size of their former location, providing greater comfort for customers and allowing for twice the inventory. DeLoach also acknowledged the role that location played in to the decision to move. “Let’s face it, you can’t overlook the number of customers that come through the Roasterie and Minglement every day. Moving just made good business sense on all fronts.” The President of Me clothing retail space also opened in the Old Fuller Store last year, and owner Rebecca Wittman has made a change of her own, taking over Bookman West’s former space for her sewing studio. “Moving the studio out of the store has opened up more room for customers and inventory, but having the workspace right across the hall still allows me to work, while I work,” Wittman said. Wittman will create custom, commissioned items in the new work studio, as well as pieces for the President of Me line.

THEATER REVIEW By ELIZABETH SHEPHERD
Vashon Island Youth Chorus will perform two-part harmonies in classics like Cripple Creek, Green Eggs and Ham and All Aboard the Partner Express under the direction of Marita Ericksen at 7 p.m. Friday, March 21, at the Blue Heron. Paul Colwell, musical mentor and original member of Up with People will be a featured musician accompanying the chorus. Tickets are $6 for VAA members, students and seniors or $8 for general admission and are available at VAA, Heron’s Nest and www.vashonalliedarts.org.
Want to hear a scintillating tale of political corruption and greed run amok, spiced up with romantic intrigue and comic shenanigans? If so, you could always turn to tomorrow’s headlines about what is going on in the nation’s capital, but a more refreshing idea might be to get tickets to see “Born Yesterday.” The show is now being staged by Drama Dock as its debut offering at the gorgeous new Vashon High School theater. It’s a glorious play. Written by Garson Kanin, the play opened on Broadway in 1946, in the glow of America’s post-war optimism. But Kanin’s hit comedy wasn’t a flag-waving paean to America’s greatness, but rather, a cautionary tale about the ease with which powerful players might steal our democracy away. Meet the main characters, and you’ll know the plot. Harry Brock (played with menacing brutishness by Peter Kreitner) is an uncouth gazillionaire who arrives in Washington D.C. to buy some legislation to help him expand his warprofiteering empire. He brings along his flak and fixer, Jim Devery (imbued with sparkling cynicism in a performance by Rich Wiley), and his arm candy — a wise-cracking blonde showgirl, Billie Dawn, played with aplomb by one of Vashon’s most versatile actresses, Stephanie Murray. Soon enough, Harry has found a venal senator (played by Gordon Millar) to befriend, but he has a problem — he’s embarrassed by Billie’s lack of sophistication in D.C.’s heady social circles. Enter Paul Verrall (played by another stellar actor, Marshall Murray), a young newspaperman hired by Harry to clean up Billie’s grammar and give her a little polish. This Pygmalion plan, of course, backfires as Billie blossoms under Paul’s tutelage. As it turns out, she’s no blonde bimbo after all, but rather, one smart cookie with the means and motivation to sink the ships of all the 1-percenters who surround her. “I want everybody to be smart, as smart as they can be,” Paul says in the play, in words
Bring the whole family to learn about birds and their habitats The Vashon Maury Audubon Society will host a free family night showing of “Birds, Backyard and Beyond,” a film by Joy and Craig Johnson, at 6 p.m. April 1 at the Vashon Theatre. Parents are encouraged to bring school-age children to learn about birds and their environment. The film concludes the March series of Audubon’s fourth-grade birding classes.

Stephanie Murray as Billie Dawn and Marshall Murray as Paul Verrall in a scene from Drama Dock’s political satire “Born Yesterday.” that still ring as true in 2014 as they did in 1946. “A world of ignorant people is too dangerous to live in.” Drama Dock does a fine job with the show, from the sumptuous set designed by Chris Ott and the show’s able director, Chaim Rosemarin, to lovely costumes by Lori Lowrance. It’s clear that a small army of volunteers worked day and night behind the scenes to bring the show to life on the stage and that Drama Dock spent no small amount of money to present it in a way meant to defy all expectations about the limitations of community theater. The 12-member cast of the show is great — you’ll laugh plenty as some of Vashon’s most capable supporting players make the most of their small roles as the henchmen, maids, bellhops, hotel managers, manicurists and barbers forced to wait hand and foot on ungrateful elites.
But the show belongs to Stephanie Murray, whose portrayal of the ditzy Billie drives the night. Murray pulls out all the stops in the juicy role, not only finding its comedic gold but also the perfect arc of Billie’s poignant and powerful transformation. In one gem of a scene early in the play, as Billie plays a hilarious game of gin rummy with her bully of a boyfriend, it doesn’t take long to realize that Murray has plenty of cards up her sleeve. Simply put, she’s a winner. — Elizabeth Shepherd is the director of children’s programming at the Northwest Film Forum and The Beachcomber’s former arts editor. “Born Yesterday” will be performed again at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday at Vashon High School. Tickets, $12 and $15, are on sale at Vashon Bookshop, www.brownpapertickets.com and at door.
Festival premieres forgotten manuscript The fourth annual Salish Sea Early Music Festival will premiere “A Little Evening Concert for Louis XIV” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 18, at Bethel Church. This concert recreates the regular evening performances given for King Louis XIV by members of his Musique de la Chambre and premieres a set of six suites from an elaborate and previously unknown manuscript. Discovered by baroque musician Jeffrey Cohan in Paris, the Suite des Symphonies is a collection of the Louis XIV’s favorite compositions organized by his court music librarian, Andre Danican Philidor L’Aine, into 67 suites. Playing on authentic baroque instruments, the musicians — Jeffrey Cohan on one-keyed
flute, Anna Marsh on bassoon, Christine Wilkinson on violin and Steven Creswell on viola — will perform these works for the first time since the death of Louis XIV in 1715. The selection of music included in the original manuscript dates back to 1659 and the music of Louis XIV’s younger years, with excerpts from the operas and instrumental work of the king’s favorite composers, JeanBaptiste Lully, Michel-Richard de la Lande and Philidor himself. Tickets are by suggested donation of $15 or $20 for general admission, $5 for students and no charge for those 18 and under. For more information, visit www.salishseafestival.org or call Bethel Church at 567-4255.

Miss Dottie Dresden is taking island quilter Ann Rindge back home to Kentucky. The two share a close friendship, one that began with a needle and thread, a swath of Amish double-black cloth, patches of brightly colored material, a traditional quilting pattern and Rindge’s creative imagination. In April the duo plan to travel to Paducah, Kentucky, for the annual American Quilter’s Society (AQS) show and contest, QuiltWeek and Miss Dottie’s appearance as one of the semi-finalists. While Rindge shares her excitement about the recognition, Miss Dottie remains tight-lipped. In fact, she can’t talk. Miss Dottie Dresden is a quilt — designed, hand appliquéd and sewn by Rindge. “As I worked on the it, the name just made sense,” said Rindge, an island

unless it is spectacular,” said Nancy Sipple, an island artist and member of the Vashon guild. “And this is the 30th year of the show. It’s a big deal.” Miss Dottie Dresden competed with quilts from 41 states and 10 countries in the first round. Now Rindge will send her to Paducah on April 4 to be judged with the 408 other semi-finalists. Rindge plans to attend the many workshops and lectures offered during QuiltWeek, April 23 to 26, and to be present when the winners are announced. More than 30,000 international visitors are expected to attend the event. For more than 30 years, quilters from every state in the country and around the world have submitted their quilts to the AQS Quilt contest. What began as a show of functional art and fine craftsmanship is now a prestigious exhibition of the best quilts as fiber art. Whether she comes home with a final award or not, Miss Dottie Dresden will be spending the month of April among the best of her peers.

Rindge’s familiarity with quilts comes from a long line of women quilters and sewers and a community tradition of crafts and quilting bees. “I grew up in Kentucky where women never just chatted but always had something in their hands to sew, with their project basket nearby,” she said. The women, according to Rindge, bonded over their needlework, much like Rindge and her own mother did. Though they’d sewn together all her life, Rindge wanted a different activity to share with her mother, so 14 years ago they started to quilt. But for Rindge, this mother-daughter hobby quickly turned into a passion. “I was hooked right away, and one quilt led to another.” When Rindge learned her floral polka dotted quilt made it into the semi-finals, she sent an email to her fellow quilters in the Vashon Island Quilt Guild and said “I am all astonishment,” a quote from Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” “You don’t get a quilt in this show

Maestros will talk Mozart By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
Gary Cannon, artistic director of the Vashon Island Chorale and Cascadian Chorale, will explore questions about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with his mentor and former teacher, Abraham Kaplan, in the Arts & Humanities lecture “What’s So Great About Mozart?” this weekend. By anyone’s standard, Mozart created a prodigious body of music — over 600 works — in the short span of his lifetime. But not everyone agrees upon how he did it. Was Mozart a musical genius or extremely driven and hardworking? Using excerpts from some of Mozart’s greatest works, Kaplan and Cannon will talk about the composer’s life and vast range of musical forms from chorale to orchestra, chamber and opera. They’ll look at what makes Mozart’s music so universally beloved, why his compositions are so accessible and examine just what is so great about Mozart. “Kaplan knows the answer to that question,” said Cannon in a recent interview, “and I’ll answer the question about Mozart as genius versus hard worker.” The former teacher and student enjoy bantering about ideas and have become good friends over the past decade after Kaplan retired in 2004 from the University of Washington. Two years ago, the chorale performed a cycle of Kaplan’s Hanukkah compositions, and, according to Cannon, Kaplan fell in love with the island. Gary D. Cannon (top) and As former director of choral music at Julliard for 20 Abraham Kaplan (bottom) years, Kaplan is reputed to be one of the greatest choral conductors and composers of his generation. Leonard Bernstein, who collaborated musically with Kaplan for 13 years, called him “a heaven-sent maestro.” Cannon’s reputation as a dynamic conductor, singer, composer and musicologist is well known throughout the Northwest. He’s been artistic director of the Vashon Island Chorale since 2008. The evening provides a timely preamble to the chorale’s upcoming performance of Mozart’s masterwork, “Great Mass in C-Minor,” March 30 at Benaroya Hall. The lecture will be at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Blue Heron. Tickets are $14 for VAA members, students and seniors or $18 for general audience. Tickets can be purchased at VAA and www.vashonalliedarts.org.

Chorale returns to Benaroya Hall By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
Islanders will have to travel off-island to hear the Vashon Island Chorale when they perform at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 30, at Seattle’s Benaroya Hall. This combined choir concert of Mozart’s “Great Mass in C Minor” marks the chorale’s second visit to Benaroya Hall at the invitation of conductor Mark Adrian. Chorale Artistic Director Gary Cannon met with Adrian to discuss pieces for the concert, and eventually the two selected Mozart’s Great Mass. “It’s a rather unusual and rarely heard work,” said Cannon, “and on a scale unlike any of his other pieces, including his Requiem. It is the most complex of his chorale works.” According to Cannon, Mozart wrote the piece after he fell in love with his soon-tobe wife, soprano Constanze. Wanting to show off his wife’s talent and impress his father with his own compositional skills, Mozart “did as much as he could to make it a great piece,” said Cannon, “And it shows. It is beautiful and emotional.” The four ensembles — Vashon Island Chorale, Northwest Chamber Chorus, Sacred Music Chorus and Sammamish Symphony Orchestra — together will perform the Great Mass, featuring Vashon’s

SEPTIC CONTINUED FROM 1
I decided to make the business as simple as I could,” he said. “I didn’t want to be preoccupied every night. We pumped septic tanks and that was about it.” With the help of a couple local employees, Niece Pumping has performed the smelly but oh-so-necessary job of pumping out septic tanks at more than 4,000 homes on Vashon. On average he or his crew visited four homes a day. “I know a lot of people on the island,” Niece said with a chuckle. Niece said he enjoyed the pumping work, which got him out of the office, working outdoors, and presented constant challenges. He also said most people don’t realize how difficult septic pumping actually is.

The pumping jobs are very physical, Niece said, and sometimes performed in bad weather. Sometimes homeowners don’t know where their tanks are or haven’t taken care of their systems, leading to other problems. And now and then objects must be retrieved. Makeup, tools, small toys, even dentures, Niece said he has seen it all. Waste from the septics is trucked to a wastewater treatment facility off-island. Niece Pumping, which transports the waste via the ferry about twice a week, was eventually dubbed “Vashon’s number one exporter,” a joke that’s now painted onto the side of its trucks as well. “There are some unpleasant things,” Niece admitted about the line of work. But what one might assume is the most unpleasant — the smell — he actually got used to. “After a while, you don’t even notice the smell unless you stop and think about it,” he said. “Your mind has it filtered out.” Well spoken but unassuming, Niece is humble about his business venture, saying he found success simply by offering a needed service on Vashon. Pumping a septic tank can’t be avoided, he noted, and the reminder cards helped him bring business back during times he had on-island competitors. “I was accused of having a monopoly,” he said. “I just stayed here and did my business. Everyone else left for one reason or another.” But Jim Freeland, Niece’s employee of more than a dozen years, paints the business in a different light. Freeland says he believes Niece did well because “basically he treats everybody how he would expect to be treated.” Paramount to Niece Pumping’s success, Freeland says, is the fact that the company refused to pump a septic tank that didn’t need it. Every homeowner uses their septic system differently, Freeland explained, so some tanks need pumping before they are due, while others can go longer in between jobs. Niece turned down about a quarter of the pumping jobs he went to, Freeland said, telling customers to call him back in a year or two. He compared Niece to Andy Griffith, calling him honest and respectful even when it meant losing business. “He always had that kind of attitude that everything is going to be okay,” he said. “And things always worked out at

the end of the show.” The end of the show for Niece came earlier this year when he decided to retire. Since then he has been doing everything but septic and exploring a surprisingly wide variety of interests. The self-described opera and ballet buff is a frequent theater-goer and has season tickets to both the Pacific Northwest Ballet and the Seattle Opera. He is also an avid reader who has been studying Portuguese since his son moved to Brazil. As Freeland describes it, bookshelves once covered all four walls of Niece’s office, holding an eclectic variety of volumes. “It would be anything from religion to philosophy to physics. He could talk about it and make it interesting,” Freeland said. “He’s a modern-day Renaissance man.” Though a portrait of Niece still hangs in his old office, the business and his former home were purchased by newcomers to Vashon. Mark and Julie Romero had been coming to Vashon for years to visit Julie’s family, and were searching for a way to move permanently to the island from their home in Pueblo, Colo., when they noticed Niece’s business was for sale. With Mark’s background in science and business and Julie’s accounting experience, it seemed like a good fit. “We’ve been looking for a way to come out here,” she said. The couple and their two children moved into Niece’s former home, which doubled as his office, and officially took over the business in January, though Niece stayed on for a couple of months to show them the ropes. They are keeping two of Niece’s employees on board and aren’t planning to change prices unless their transportation costs go up in the future, Julie said. “We’re keeping things as much the same as we can,” she said. As for Niece, he says he’s planning to eventually move to Georgia to be close to his son and his son’s family, who will soon move there as well. And while he’s retiring, Niece says he’s not the type that can settle down. He plans to travel, and though he insists septic work was his calling, he says he’s now looking for something that will give his life purpose. “I still need to find that purpose,” he said.

Middle school wrestler takes first place at state Adrian St. Germain, a seventh-grader at McMurray Middle School, won the state championship in folkstyle wrestling in the 136-pound weight class schoolboy division late last month. “He’s an exceptional wrestler,” said Per-Lars Blomgren, one of his coaches. “Not only is he a natural wrestler, he works really hard, and he loves the sport.” Adrian, 13, will participate in the state championship in May in the other two wrestling styles, Greco and freestyle, which will likely take him to regional championships in June in Idaho, according to his mother, Sarah St. Germain. To win at state last month, St. Germain said, Adrian had to win each of his five matches in one day. In his first match, he was 6 seconds away from having to forfeit because of injury time, but the situation was resolved, and he went on to win that match and all the others. Adrian started wrestling when he was 4, she said, and is extremely dedicated to the sport, training three to five hours a day and practicing with both the middle and high school teams. At the time of the state competition, he had only been wrestling for three weeks, after recuperating from shoulder surgery, St. Germain added. Blomgren noted that

The Vashon Valkyries lacrosse team played their first three games of the year under pouring rain at a jamboree on Bainbridge Island on Saturday. The team won two of the three games, and coach Larry DuBois said he was pleased with what he saw. “The team had a strong showing, and we are looking forward to a good season,” he said. The 20-member team is the largest DuBois has coached since the Valkyries formed in 2008 — when the juniors on the team were in fifth grade. Eight players new to the sport joined the team this year, a welcome infusion of athletes to the growing club. Younger girls who would like to play are encouraged to sign up, DuBois said. Enrollment is still open for a third- and fourth-grade team and a team for girls in grades five through eight. For more information, see www.vashonlacrosse.net. The Valkyries are scheduled for several home games this month and next at the Vashon High School stadium.

VARSA CONTINUED FROM 1
the country will be awarded DFC funding this year, meaning Vashon has stiff competition to get additional funds. VARSA is now taking what volunteers call a gap year in funding, looking to up their efforts and stand out to grantors in 2015. The grant provides up to $125,000 per year. “We’ll spend this next year … focusing most of the funding we have left on youth leadership training and building capacity,” said Diane Kjellberg, VARSA’s co-chair. “We have to have a very strong application because it’s so competitive.” Meanwhile, VARSA is also working to reassess how it spends its other large funding stream, the state-funded Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative (CPWI) grant. Last year VARSA and VYFS, the fiscal sponsor for its grants, became lodged in a dispute over how the $140,000-peryear CPWI grant is spent. King County, which administers the grant, required the two groups to develop new communication and conflict management plans, something they have now completed. The county also asked the groups to revise their plan for how CPWI funds are spent, something that VARSA volunteers say there has been much confusion over, contributing to last year’s conflict. “That’s why the county came in and said you have to work with us,” said MeriMichael Collins, VARSA’s chair. She said communication between VYFS and VARSA could still improve some, but called the conflict “virtually gone.”

Now an ad-hoc workgroup of about 10 VARSA volunteers, several of them new to VARSA, is working through a lengthy process to identify how the organization should use its CPWI funds to best combat Vashon’s high levels of teen alcohol and drug use. The CPWI funds, many have said, complement the federal grant by providing money that can be used on programming rather than environmental changes. Currently a large portion of those funds goes to the VYFS PlaySpace, a family center that provides parenting classes, support groups, playgroups and other resources for island families with newborns and children up to age 18. While research shows such activities do play a role in reducing teen substance abuse, VARSA leaders say the CPWI grant should fund only programs aimed at teens and young adults — those ages 12 through 24. According to grant specifications, they say, CPWI-funded activities must be specifically aimed at reducing drug and alcohol use among Vashon’s middle and high schoolers, whose use levels are estimated every two years using the Healthy Youth Survey. The VARSA coalition decided to expand its target age group to age 24 when it considered other data, such as young people’s reportedly easy access to drugs and alcohol and recently high suicide rates, Collins said. VARSA cannot continue to funnel the money to elementary-age programs, Collins said, as it doesn’t have data to show those programs have made an impact on substance use. The workgroup, which meets regularly, is expected to finish an action plan outlining its programs by sometime in April. So far it has met all of its county-mandated dead-

lines. Missing a deadline could jeopardize the grant. “We’re focusing on keeping that funding in the community,” Kjellberg said. VYFS director Kathleen Johnson is not involved in the workgroup, but said she believes the group has made good progress. While she wasn’t aware of the grant requirement to fund only programs for teens or young adults, she said about 40 percent of CPWI grant funds currently go to PlaySpace programs for newborns through children age 12. Johnson said she recognizes that this PlaySpace funding could be lost, a notion that earlier this year spurred concern among parents, talk on social media and even calls to state Sen. Sharon Nelson’s office. However, Johnson said she simply hopes that workgroup members can use the evidence they have — Vashon surveys, research and other data — to determine what community programs will best work to reduce teen substance use. “Any time you can build your program on solid evidence and (demonstrate) progress, that’s good for making lasting change,” she said. As for the PlaySpace programs, she said the agency is constantly looking to diversify its funding and will make sustaining popular programs a priority. “We operate in a world where grants start and they stop,” she said. “We recognize that things may change, and we are making sure we build capacity.” As for VARSA, the group of volunteers is now juggling the CPWI process mandated by the state and planning how to best use the remaining months of its DFC funding. Over the past several years, DFC funds have been used to fund a grant coordinator position,
volunteer training, drug take-back events and environmental efforts such as one to get more retailers checking IDs and one to clean up so-called hot spots for drug and alcohol activity on the island. Preliminary survey data shows VARSA efforts may be making an impact in younger grades. The group, which volunteers say has been distracted by last year’s dispute and the CPWI process, will use its gap year without DFC funding focus on building a cadre of dedicated volunteers and getting more youth involved as well. Collins noted that the middle and high schools are growing their prevention clubs, but VARSA hopes to see more initiatives led by teens rather than adult volunteers. One 19-year-old volunteer, for instance, is currently helping VARSA build its website and create a presence on social media. “There’s a shift nationally to not have it be a bunch of adults running around doing things,” Collins said. “If it’s for the kids, the kids should be the ones doing most of this work.” Blair, who recently attended a federal conference put on for groups applying for DFC funding, said in an email that while the next round of funding will be extremely competitive, officials with the federal program have indicated VARSA has a good chance of being funded again, and it can always apply again in future years should they not earn the grant in 2015. In the meantime, Blair said no local programs are at risk since the DFC grant did not fund programming. She believes many efforts that began with DFC funding, such as the drug take-back events, will be carried on by volunteers. Collins agreed. “A lot of this stuff doesn’t take money,” she said. “It takes time.”
Thomas Matusky Thomas Matusky, 85, of Seattle, joined his late wife, Evelyn May Matusky in the afterlife on Valentine’s Day 2014 at 8:22 am, in a peaceful, gentle return, with his son Fredrick Matusky and daughter-in-law, Cindy Matusky by his side. Thomas was born August 3rd, 1928 in Passaic New Jersey to Jadiga Rejman and Felix Mateuszczyk. He graduated from Passaic Senior High School in June 1946 and enlisted, serving honorably in the US Navy earning the WWII Victory medal before his discharge in 1953. Tom’s strong belief in higher education led him to Antioch College where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree and Temple University for his Master’s in Education in 1965. Thomas married Joy Abbott and fathered two sons, Frederick Thomas and Michael Felix. Tom and Joy divorced in 1967 remaining friends until his passing. In 2007, Tom married Evelyn May in a small but intimate ceremony, surrounded by their closest family. Together they lived a storybook romance cut painfully short by Evelyn’s untimely passing in 2009. Tom spoke of Evelyn and their love frequently, often with tears in his eyes. May their souls rekindle their earthly romance in the hereafter and for eternity. We will forever miss him and remember fondly and often, the love and advice with which he was so generous. Tom is survived by his two sons, Frederick Thomas Matusky of Vashon Island WA; and Michael Felix Matusky of Everett WA; his three grandchildren, Marcus Allen Matusky of Seattle WA, Amber Dawn Matusky of Vashon Island WA and McKenzie Lynn Bomber of Vashon Island WA; and his great granddaughter Natalia Matusky of Vashon Island WA. Tom did not wish for services or flowers, but instead for donations to be made in his honor to Antioch College and/or Temple University.

Lena
stuff
Kitties like Lena and Lexi, if placed in a calm household, can turn into the best adoptions. They only need a little time and a place to feel safe. 5 year olds, Lexi and her sister Lena were girls on the streets. They were both rescued by a VIPP volunteer and enrolled in the VIPP charm school to hone their social skills. Lexi was more shy than Lena but has really come out of her shell to become a kitty who loves to be petted. Lexi is still a shy kitty and she will do best in a quiet home. They are long-time residents that could really use a place of their own. Arrived 9/2009.

Frodo is polite to
other dogs he meets on walks, and puts up with the other dog in his foster home, but he makes it clear that he would prefer to be The Only Dog. He had “Family Dog� training as a puppy and is quiet in the house, never gets on the furniture, and is perfectly house-broken. Because of his sensitivity to sharp noises, he reacts strongly to hair dryers, blenders, power tools, etc., and either charges the noise source or ‘attacks’ his stuffed toys. He likes to be an inside dog but will stay quietly in the yard for hours. He sleeps in his crate all night. Frodo is very loving when he gets to know you. He has all his shots and is chipped, neutered, house-broken, and leash-broken; knows Sit and Wait and comes to his name. He would benefit from training classes and enjoy the mental as well as the physical effort. If you intend to leave him alone outside, he must have a fenced yard. For more information or to meet Frodo, call Joan at 463-2608 or email her at jayandjoanbecker@g-mail.com.
