Cookstove effort takes off with new factory Marijuana company Plant opening may back out of K2 is a landmark moment for Burn

Spokesman says county council is taking too long

By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer

At a large factory in Nairobi, Kenya, about 300 Kenyans will soon begin building small, black cookstoves that one islander hopes will alter the face of Africa. “It’s game changing,” said Peter Scott, a Vashon resident and the president of Burn Manufacturing Co. For Scott, who returned to the island last week after spending four months in Kenya, the factory’s opening earlier this month was a watershed moment. It means that Kenyans will soon begin mass producing a stove that was designed on Vashon and that will combat what many consider a global crisis — the growing number of deaths and rapid deforestation resulting from the inefficient charcoal-burning cookstoves used in many African homes. About 2 million people,

The company attempting to purchase the K2 building and transform it into a factory to produce edible marijuana products may give up its effort on Vashon, a spokesman for the company, Bakkhos Holding, announced last weekend. Dan Anglin, who is also a managing partner with EdiPure, wrote on Facebook on Saturday that unless King County moves more quickly to amend its comprehensive plan to allow marijuana business at K2, Bakkhos will back out of its contract to purchase the property. In an interview Monday, Anglin confirmed the development and said he recently learned the council’s consideration of the Vashon Town Plan amendment that would allow marijuana business

within the boundaries of plan would take longer than Bakkhos originally expected. What’s more, the process to obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the property could take 6 to 12 months, he said. Adding time for construction, that puts a potential opening date for the business far beyond what Bakkhos is willing to consider, he said. “This decision is based solely on the fact that we have no idea when the county will actually take the vote on fixing the issue, and how long the CUP process will take,” Anglin posted in a comment on Facebook Saturday. He went on to write “We love the Island, but the time has come to find a plan B.” County officials, however, say they’ve not recently changed their message about how long the process to open a marijuana business at K2 will take and so far there have been no delays.

OFFICIALS GATHER TO CUT RIBBON AT NEW CENTER A standing-room-only crowd of islanders and King County officials turned out last Thursday for a ribbon cutting at the new Vashon Rural Services Center on Bank Road. The newly remodeled center, which opened last month, houses a variety of King County Services, including a sheriff’s precinct office complete with jail cell, a district court courtroom and space for King County permitting and licensing services. The services had been located south of town. Kathy Brown, the facilities management division director at King County, opened the ceremony with good words about its partnership with Vashon Island Fire & Rescue, which helped bring the project to fruition. With the office now in town, she said “services will be delivered as easily as possible every day.” An additional benefit, she noted, is that when the building is not in use for county purposes, community groups can rent it out for their needs. Among the speakers was Chief Presiding Judge Corinna Harn, who said that her most memorable and meaningful moments as a judge have come on the island. “I can’t tell you how important it is for us to have a presence in this community,” she said. King County Councilmember Joe McDermott also addressed the crowd and assisted with the official ribbon cutting with a supersized pair of scissors.

So far about two dozen yards have qualified for free cleanup By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer

This week about 400 Vashon homes will receive letters from the state urging them to take advantage of a free program that tests yards on the island for arsenic contamination. Last fall the state Department of Ecology (DOE) began a program to test yards in parts of Vashon, Maury and Tacoma it believes are most affected by pollution from the historic Tacoma Smelter Plume. So far, 325 homes on Vashon have opted to have their soil tested, and 26 had yards haver been found to contain soil with arsenic levels high enough to receive free cleanup, according to Hannah Aoyagi, an outreach and education specialist at DOE’s Toxics Cleanup Program. The first cleanups, which involve replacing about a foot of topsoil, will take place this summer. DOE did not do sampling over the winter, but will begin again this May, and officials hope many of the 400 homes that were not tested last year will sign up.

Time for Cheryl’s annual Out Like A Lion Event. New Spring Beds!

While the program is voluntary, Aoyagi stressed that it is islanders’ only opportunity for free yard testing and for free yard cleanup, should they qualify. “We want it to be voluntary, but we do encourage people to sign up,” she said. State funding for the massive cleanup comes from a settlement Asarco, a Rustonbased copper smelter, made when it filed for bankruptcy in 2005. The state received $188 million in settlement funds and expects to spend about $64 million of that on its yard cleanup testing and program, which is also being carried out in north Tacoma. Aoyagi said that so far homes on Vashon have been found to have arsenic levels significantly lower than those in Tacoma, closer to where the smelter was. “That’s a good thing. We kind of go in expecting the worst, and if the levels are lower, that’s good,” she said. DOE representatives will present more detailed information on their findings so far at the April 21 meeting of the VashonMaury Island Community Council. For more information about the yard sampling and cleanup program, contact Jill Jacobson at Jill.Jacobson@ecy.wa.gov or 360-407-6245. For soil sampling signups, contact Adrianna Jarosz at AJarosz@ Geosyntec.com.

VYFS closes addiction treatment program NEWS BRIEFS By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer

Vashon Youth & Family Services (VYFS) recently announced it will close its addiction treatment program and has begun working with clients to connect them with appropriate services inside and outside the agency. Kathleen Johnson, the executive director of VYFS, announced the decision earlier this month, indicating that the finances of its Outpatient Addiction and Recovery Services (OARS) made closing it a necessity, but still a hard call. “It was not an easy decision,” she said in an interview last week. “We have to do what we think is best for the island.” Last summer, VYFS restructured its addiction treatment program, bringing the services under the same umbrella as the mental health program. Despite the staff’s best efforts, Johnson said, OARS — the only state-licensed chemical dependency program on the island — continued to lose money. The program was never self sufficient, she said, and continuing to operate it would have drawn funds away from other needed services. Reaching out to the community to fund the program did not seem like a viable solution, she said, and after consulting with the VYFS board, OARS staff and other King County providers, she made the final decision to close the program two weeks ago. At the time of the decision, 35 people were enrolled in the program and 21 were participating actively, Johnson said. Now staff is working with them to determine if their needs can be met through the VYFS mental health counseling program and if not, staff is trying to connect them to appropriate services. “The bottom line is we are committed to making sure everyone gets the care they need,” she said. While VYFS counseling staff will not include any employees credentialed as chemical dependency professionals, some members will receive additional training in chemical dependency treatment and provide care accordingly, Johnson said. Both Johnson and Jeffrey Zheutlin, the VYFS clinical director, point to the small number of people who sought recovery services as a contributing factor to the program’s

poor financial health. Combined, OARS and its preceding program, Holistic Approaches to Recovery Treatment, which opened in 2009, served less than 100 clients in the last four years. Zheutlin said staff had hoped that the restructuring of the program eight months ago would have made the program sustainable, but it did not. “We have come to the realization that with the small number of people enrolled and the structure of the payments, we can’t afford to run a stand-alone chemical dependency treatment program on Vashon,” Zheutlin said in a press release. Compounding factors, he noted, include the county’s current reimbursement system, which does not provide payment when patients miss an appointment, even though staff time must still be accounted for, and legal requirements for chemical dependency professionals. These requirements result in a high level of overhead in terms of staff experience and documentation, creating further financial stress for a small program. While VYFS is shuttering its program, Johnson said those seeking care for themselves or a family member should still call the agency. “If it’s something we can address, we will,” she said. Additionally, should the person require inpatient treatment — a service VYFS has never offered — the agency might be able to assist with needed after care. “It’s entirely possible we would be able to provide necessary services on the island,” she said. “It really depends on the needs of the particular patient.” Three staff members and a contract employee, all parttime, are losing their jobs as part of the OARS closure, Johnson said, calling them all “outstanding professionals.” “We will work with those affected to try to find internal placements or to support them in identifying other options,” she said. Islanders seeking treatment for addiction should know that in addition to some services still being available at VYFS, other island professionals also provide substance abuse counseling services, including Marianne Rose and Stephen Bogan.

Vashon mail is still missing Three days worth of the island’s mail was still unaccounted for at press time Tuesday. Hundreds of pieces of mail sent out from March 1 to 3 was transported off the island and received at the Seattle processing plant, but the envelopes and packages never arrived at their various destinations. Postal inspectors were dispatched to search for the mail the week before last, but so far the mail has proved elusive. Islanders affected by the mail mystery have been invited to contact Gail Green, the Vashon postmaster, to be added to a list of people she will contact when the mail is located. Reached on Tuesday, Green said she could not comment on the matter further, given post office regulations. Previously, post office officials, including Wally Olihovik of the Inspector General’s office outside of Washington, D.C., expressed optimism that the mail would be found soon. He was not available at press time to comment on the missing mail or other developments with the investigation.

Ferry system searches for new leader David Moseley, the head of Washington State Ferries, is stepping down effective April 15. Moseley, assistant secretary for the Washington State Department of Transportation, announced his resignation March 18 in a statement that noted the ferry system was in crisis when he took the helm six years ago with old boats, service cuts and increasing fares. He made four areas his priority, he said: new ferry boats. better maintaining of the ferries, improving relationships with ferry communities and customers and obtaining a dedicated funding source for the system. Progress has been made on all counts, he noted. Capt. George A. Capacci has been named the interim assistant secretary in charge of the Ferries Division for the Washington State Department of Transportation. He will serve until a permanent assistant secretary is selected through a nationwide search, which is now underway.

Auction will fund travel study as students discover the world From five nights in Puerto Rico to a ride in a Lamborghini, adventure will go to the highest bidder By SARAH LOW Staff Writer

The Harbor School will hold its annual benefit auction on Saturday, with an eye toward celebrating the addition of a new building. Auction-goers will also celebrate the fulfillment of an arts initiative and increasing enrollment, as well as set a new focus on the school’s travel study program and work toward accreditation with the Northwest Association of Independent Schools (NWAIS). “We have a lot to celebrate,” said Head of School James Cardo. “Last year’s auction was all about the arts initiative, and we’ve been able to realize that. Now we’re looking ahead to what else we need to do.” The school recently installed a custom, two-classroom modular building so that one existing classroom could become a dedicated art studio and the school could once again look to increase its enrollment without being constrained by space limitations. The new building came from Idaho and was delivered last week, while students were participating in travel study programs. “It was a surprise for them when they came back,” Cardo said. Cardo said he expects the new building to be ready for students after spring break in April. The Harbor School saw a 15 percent increase in enrollment this year, primarily at the lower school level — fourth and fifth grades — and it will be looking to hire another teacher, Cardo said. Next year, some of the school’s new students will come from off-island for the first time. The Harbor School has enrolled five or six families from off-island for the 20142015 school year, Cardo said, explaining that as part of the school’s outreach campaign, representatives recently

The Harbor School itself is currently a candidate member of the NWAIS, and Cardo says that the goal is to be fully accredited by the fall of 2015. “Accreditation shows everyone that the school is doing best practices for an independent school, and it opens up grant opportunities,” he said. With the arts initiative well underway and enrollment headed in the right direction, the auction this year is

focused on supporting travel study programs. The theme is “Voyage of Discovery,” and proceeds from the benefit will go directly to fund what Cardo calls an integral piece of the school’s curriculum. Many auction items, available online at the Harbor School’s website, include adventures in far flung places — Paris and Alaska among them — as well as closer to home, including a night on the town in Tacoma and a Meat and Noodle dinner in the winning bidder’s home. Several other auction items will be offered as well, including art by island artists and students — all to support education through travel. “We want to run the program so that the students are learning off the school grounds for 40 days each school year,” he said. “With enrollment increasing, we need more money to support that. We don’t want to be limited by budget constraints; we need to keep it robust.” The travel curriculum involves a number of two-day excursions, such as the eighth-grade trip to the University of Washington’s graduate library, as well as the annual Voyagers Week, where students have a more in-depth opportunity to learn about the world outside Vashon. This year’s Voyager Week adventures saw Harbor School students participating in snow sport activities at Mount Tahoma, digital photography classes with Ray Pfortner at Fort Worden near Port Townsend, spending a week at a home stay in Madrid, Spain, and traveling to the “historic triangle” of the Yorktown battlefield, Jamestown and colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. “It’s so important,” Cardo said of the off-campus experiences. “What the kids do outside the classroom informs what they do inside.”

The Harbor School’s “Voyage of Discovery” benefit auction will take place at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Open Space for Arts & Community. Tickets cost $50, and reservations are required. To purchase tickets and for more information about the event and auction items, go to www.harborschool.org.

Now is the time to create new park district

USPS should communicate better on Vashon

I am writing this commentary as a private citizen of Vashon who happens to be a park board commissioner. It is in response to a commentary by Lu-Ann Branch, which the other commissioners and I did not review or approve before it was published. (“Park board charts course for the future,” Feb. 26.) Based upon a park district survey, which 231 community members completed before the election last year, the park district has been doing a poor job of serving the community. While 35 percent of the respondents indicated they were somewhat to very satisfied with the park district, 56 percent were somewhat to very dissatisfied. When you compare the very satisfied to the very dissatisfied, the results are more dramatic, 7 percent to 32 percent. This concerns me since a new operating levy must be passed next year, and such opinions indicate levy approval may be in jeopardy. The survey also provided useful information as to what is important to the community, with many respondents mentioning multiple items. When you combine financial controls/budgeting (28), retire debt (17) and a financial reserve (10), our financial situation tops the list. However, the highest single item is needed improvements to maintenance (31). While a small group wanted to discontinue athletic programs and an equally small group wanted to stop non-athletic programs, a much larger group called for balance where all programs have a seat at the table. Many wanted to finish the VES Fields project, while an equal number wanted to restore programs and increase staff to provide better services. What has the board done since

The U.S. Postal Service should learn from the recent case of missing mail on Vashon and develop better procedures for communicating with customers and the press. Three weeks after outgoing mail from Vashon went missing, many who sent items that were never delivered have now resent their mail or reissued lost payments. We’ve heard countless stories of lost bill payments, resulting late fees and the hassles and high fees associated with canceling checks. We can’t help but believe the process would have been eased, however, had the post office been able to better communicate with customers from the beginning. It took some time for the post office to realize hundreds of pieces of island mail had gone missing, but The Beachcomber didn’t learn of the issue until a week and a half later, and only after receiving calls from islanders who noticed their mail hadn’t gone through and had called the post office to inquire. We couldn’t get the news in our print edition until two and a half weeks after the mail disappeared. All the while, some post office employees were unable to communicate effectively to islanders about the issue. Vashon’s postmaster, who was gone when the problem was first discovered, said the post office’s hands were tied, as communication with customers about such an issue must come through USPS’s Office of Public Affairs. Another USPS official said mail doesn’t go missing often, so they don’t have firm procedures in place when it does. We understand that; however, not having procedures for communication doesn’t excuse a lack of communication. We question why the Office of Public Affairs couldn’t have authorized local postal employees to post a notice in the office, put fliers in mailboxes or a put a call out to the local paper. We don’t blame the employees of Vashon’s post offices or Vashon’s postmaster, who has been gracious with our calls and inquiries. We believe they’ve acted as they’ve been told to by their federal employer and simply aren’t allowed to reach out to us. And perhaps the USPS is such a massive system that Vashon’s small offices don’t rank as a priority. We’re glad to hear Vashon’s postmaster has now created a list of islanders to contact if there is news about the mail, but next time there is a major issue, she should be able to be more proactive. We receive press releases, emails and calls daily from state and local agencies with news that could pertain to Vashon. We hope that after this incident, the USPS will develop an acceptable way to communicate important issues to the island.

COMMUNITY By SCOTT HARVEY the election? A small $50,000 reserve was included in the current budget, and our maintenance supervisor and general manager were sent to a class to improve maintenance procedures. Another maintenance position was added just two weeks ago. All this is good. What about the VES project? Unfortunately, it is business as usual. Even though the work needed to satisfy the final permit requirements had not been put out to bid, the previous board voted to complete the work in 2014, with all the unknown funding amount coming from our new budget. This is where I disagree about the advisability of “moving on.” I agree that it makes financial sense to satisfy the VES permit requirements sooner rather than later. However, a blank check from the park district is not the solution. As was mentioned by several survey responders, it is time to return to the funding model that financed great facilities at Ober Park, Jensen Point and Paradise Ridge, where the users/community contributed a greater share toward the project cost. We should not wait until the next request. This model should be used to finish VES. I discussed this option with several islanders, including fields users. However, I was waiting to receive a solid bid for the proposed work before discussing options with the rest of the board. Unfortunately, Lu-Ann’s statement that “we expect to complete that

Let’s move ahead together How have questions about K2/Jarden’s responsibility to this community in its exit devolved into character assassination and obstructionism? Why are we so divided about marijuana in this brave new postprohibition world? Why is the middle ground so hard

to hold with civility, actual listening and compromise? I want to acknowledge that this effort to address the environmental questions at K2 has involved a steep learning curve for all of us. I personally have made errors both in the improper use of terms and deeply flawed efforts at advocacy that at times lowered the level of conversation.

work this year” gave the impression this was a done deal, which I dispute. Again, failure to fund our project differently in 2014 could convey things have not changed, which may lead to dire consequence at the ballot box next year. I am committed to advocating for the elimination of all park district debt and the accumulation of a reserve to address all extraordinary future needs. This would address the major concern voiced by the state auditor, which resulted in a wasted $10,000 for an unnecessary audit. In that regard, I plan to work with my fellow commissioners to develop a longterm plan before the end of June, which will accomplish this goal. One commissioner has warned me I could have issues with other commissioners and at least one user group, thereby becoming ineffective, if I push for these changes. While I hope that will not be the case, I remain committed to the tenets of my campaign last fall and to the 2,400 voters who believed I would help deliver a fiscally responsible park district that is inclusive (balanced) when funding programs for the entire community. At the same time, the park district needs to address the maintenance needs identified by the public. I personally am focused on the next 90 days. By making key decisions during this time frame, the park district will have a full year to deliver a “new” park district. It would be great if after June 30 Peter Ray could extinguish his camera and The Beachcomber would find only good news items at park district meetings.

I love this community, and as in any relationship, saying sorry is part of the process of going deeper. I apologize for my part. King County has actually served this community with more responsibility and balance than we seem capable of exercising even in our conversations with each other. Dow Constantine’s amendments to the town plan to both include marijuana growing and processing, along with the No Further Action requirement for a Conditional Use Permit, is commendable. As a member of this community and as the director of the Backbone Campaign, I believe Bakkhos/EdiPure deserve a fair chance. Jarden/K2 deserve the opportunity to live out their acknowledged moral and legal obligations to our community. Any political pressure for delays in the permitting process needs to cease or be transcended by King County government. The process, however flawed as it may be, needs to move forward. Failure to do so will continue to tear at the fabric of this community. The economic hardship of islanders is real. And the need for meaningful, living-wage jobs is not separate from environmental stewardship, but dependent upon it. Prior to this island crisis of opportunity, a few islanders had begun an investigation of the idea of a Public Development Authority. A PDA is a semi-governmental entity with capacity to leverage public resources for community benefit, but not the ability to tax. With all due respect to King County, we deserve island-based institutions with the capacity to facilitate an inclusive, respectful and productive process. But part of that is having access to the resources to incubate synergistic projects and programs. I invite you to join me in letting the process run its course and begin an exploration of the PDA and other tools for us to move forward together, in a way that celebrates our shared aspirations and wealth of talent. Forward together! — Bill Moyer

Rotary: so much more than a traffic circle In a moment of weakness (these moments seem to be coming more frequently as I get older), I agreed recently to talk to Vashon’s Rotary Club. Who even knew there were clubs of people who love rotaries? In my experience, a rotary (also known as a “roundabout”) is a British highway feature, a sort of every-man-forhimself traffic circle, which takes the place of, say, a sensible traffic light. It’s a brilliant concept, in that it keeps traffic flowing at intersections, but it’s also terrifying if you are not accustomed to driving on the left as they still do in that stubborn-minded little country. But right here, on this very island, there were fans of rotaries! You learn something new every day. Except that, as usual, I got it completely wrong. It turns out that Rotarians are neither fans of rotaries nor whirling dervishes. No, they are in fact business people who raise money to support various local civic purposes. They do good deeds. No one knows why they feel thus compelled, but I think sometimes it’s better not to ask. Also, no one knows why they chose the name Rotary either, instead of, say, something far more sensible like other civic organizations did: the Elks, the Moose, the Masons or the Odd Fellows. I’ve always liked

NORTH PASSAGES By WILL NORTH the notion of a club full of odd fellows. Their official name, by the way, is the Grand United Order of Oddfellows Friendly Society, or GUOOFS (pronounced, I think, goofs). I think I’d fit right in. But I digress. It saddens me to reveal that the Rotary Club member who invited me to talk withheld certain critical information. I don’t know whether withholding information is a key part of the Rotary rulebook, but you can imagine my shock when he finally confessed that they meet at 7:00. A.M.! I don’t know about you, but I am barely breathing at 7 a.m. The woman lately known as my wife and I have tea together early every morning, which is to say that she chatters away and I just nod occasionally in order to keep from nodding off entirely. To be honest, I don’t think

Beware, speeding tickets ahead on Fauntleroy! I am writing now, while I am still steamed! First of all, I want to alert all Islanders regarding the photo enforcement program that is in full force on Fauntleroy Ave. between the ferry dock and California St. If there was an alert or notification of this new enforcement process, I was one who missed it and I know I was not alone. Today at noon, on approach to said ferry dock leaving California St. on Fauntleroy, my passenger and I commented on a large warning sign in back of someone’s private truck “Be Careful Speeding Tickets,” and immediately noted a new 20 mph zone sign with a camera attached. Maybe I would not have noticed had we not seen the truck sign, the traffic sign is not large, and the camera is new. Oops, my speed with the traffic flow was 28 mph. Of course I slowed immediately. Once on island, I stopped at the post office to find in my mailbox from City of Seattle a photo enforcement ... AN INFRACTION notice. First thought ... “What! So soon?”... yep! There was a ticket, but for Mar. 3rd (10 days ago) for $189. Need I say more? Beware. Certainly, a notification was in order, a first offense warning would have been enough. If I have another ticket in 10 days for today’s mistake, I will be boiling over. Isn’t that double jeopardy? What would YOU do? MaryLou Harlander

This was a small community effort, but with huge results. The auction was incredibly well-run, with a wide variety of items, well marketed and displayed, and a great deal of excitement generated. As someone who has run auctions in the past, I can tell you that this does not happen without a great deal of planning. In addition, there was a buffet spread that beat out any food service you would find at a downtown hotel – absolutely delicious! The evening was a great example of community coming together to help their neighbors. From everyone at VYFS, many thanks to all and kudos for a great job!

she expects or wants a response from me anyway. Did I mention 7 a.m.? So, I get in my car, turn the radio way up high to keep me conscious and drive to the senior center, where the Rotarians meet. I’m expecting people like myself: you know, slumped against a wall sucking on a cup of coffee, snoozing in their seats … but no. These people are actually alive, awake and warmly welcoming. They introduce themselves, shake my hand and smile a lot. I can’t help but wonder if someone — the sergeant at arms, perhaps — hasn’t slipped something into their coffee to make them so chipper. It’s frightening, really. Finally, I get up to the podium and I say, “How can you people call yourselves a civic club when you don’t even have a secret handshake?!” This brings the house down. I’m thinking these people are the easiest audience on earth. To the Rotarians, and to all who contribute to the welfare of this odd little island, I extend my heartfelt thanks. But please, next time call me at cocktail hour.

We just love the house you sold us a few years ago. We have also loved all of our neighbors, up until now. The couple next door became our best friends but the husband died last year and his wife moved back east to be near family. So new people bought the house. They’re awful! The first thing they had to do was to start bugging us about the fence. They claimed that our fence was on their property. After spending a bunch of money on a new survey, it turned out the fence was right where it belonged, on our side. Then they started complaining about our dog. They claim she comes over and digs in their yard. That can’t happen because we have invisible fencing for her and she never leaves our yard except with us and she’s on a lease. What can be done about people like this?

Unfortunately, the world is full of folks who don’t seem happy unless they are causing other people grief. I don’t want to sound like a psychologist here, but I believe those are very unhappy people, wouldn’t you agree? They’re never satisfied. They obviously lack something important in their lives and to compensate for that they fight everybody over everything. Sadly, your story is all too familiar. As far as the boundary and dog issues are concerned, you will just have to deal with whatever they come up with unless you want to talk to an attorney about legal options. That’s very serious and could cause more trouble than it’s worth. Be sure that you are, indeed, doing everything you can to keep from fueling their complaints. Maybe they’ll get tired of picking on you and move on to someone else. As for the way this makes you feel, a little meditation on the good in your own life and some sympathy or pity for these difficult neighbors may help. It’s hard to be charitable when you’re being picked on for no good reason, but gratitude for your own happiness can ease the situation.

Young dancers choreograph their own show Original Works show, in its sixth year, is a favorite at the VAA Center for Dance By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer

Six years ago, Christine Juarez, the artistic director of the VAA Center for Dance, offered her senior dancers an opportunity to choreograph their own dances. She called the program Original Works and included the student choreographed dances in the annual spring ballet. Today, Original Works has grown into a separate performance and will be held this weekend at the Vashon High School theater. Over the years as the popularity of Original Works grew, Juarez decided to make some changes. She opened up the program to students at higher dance levels — ages 10 to 18 — and invited the entire dance community to participate. Invitations aside, the audition process requires effort and commitment on the part of the students. First the students prepare a one-minute piece to audition before a panel of seven judges. Dancers choose their own music, their own movement and whether to perform a solo or collaborate with others. Once they audition, the dancers receive feedback from the panel and the opportunity to work with VAA Center for Dance faculty before a second round of judging. In the past, not every piece of choreography made the cut. This year, Juarez said, the students worked hard and all of their pieces passed the adjudication process. “This is the launch of our pilot performance,” said Juarez, whose vision encompasses future collaborations with musicians to create live music to accompany the dancers. “It’s all about showcasing emerging artists from 10 to 20 years old.” Juarez eventually wants to hook this annual performance with multiple mediums and is setting the precedent this time by exhibiting student artwork from art teacher Terry Swift’s Vashon High School ceramics class. With 35 dancers performing 15 original works, plus several pieces by Juarez’s intermediate/advanced modern and jazz class members, the program will feature primarily contemporary dance — a blend of modern and ballet — with one jazz and one point piece. Juarez and her faculty — Vanesa Wylie from Cornish College who teaches ballet, modern and jazz; Crissy Baker who teaches tap and hiphop; Elizabeth Mendana Shaw, who teaches advanced modern and toddlers and Leah Mann, who instructs sports dance and acro-

In keeping with Juarez’s commitment to bringing dance into the schools, a special showing of Original Works will be performed on Friday for students from all of Vashon’s schools.

Original Works will be performed at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 4 and 5, and 1 p.m. Sunday, April 6. Tickets are $12 for VAA members, students and seniors and $16 for general admission. Tickets are on sale at VAA, Heron’s Nest and www.vashonalliedarts.org.

Tickets go on sale for opera company’s next show

Choral to perform Mozart at a joint concert at Benaroya

Vashon Opera plans to pluck your heartstrings with its next production, “Werther,” a French opera with English subtitles. Tickets for the show go on sale April 1 at the Vashon Bookshop and www.vashonopera.org. Based on Goethe’s novel “The Sorrows of Young Werther,” this opera tells the tale of a young artist — Werther — who falls in love with a woman betrothed to another. Jules Massenet’s music dramatically illuminates the grief of the ill-fated love, and the professional cast will be directed by Jim Brown. On May 4, Norm Hollingshead will give a preview lecture about the opera, with time and location to be determined. Opening night for “Werther” will be at 8 p.m. May 16, with a matinee performance at 2:30 p.m. May 18. A reduced rate student and family dress rehearsal will be at 7 p.m. May 14. All performances wil be at Bethel Church. Prices are $32 for season and individual tickets and $15 for the dress rehearsal.

The sound of Mozart’s Great Mass in C Minor will fill Seattle’s Benaroya Hall when 75 singers from the Vashon Island Chorale join members from the Sacred Music Chorale and Northwest Chamber Chorus in a spring concert at 2 p.m. Sunday at Benaroya Hall. Under the leadership of Maestro Mark Adrian, the 250-member combined chorus will be accompanied by island soloists Jennifer and Andrew Krikawa and the Sammamish Symyphony Orchestra. This is the chorale’s second performance at Benaroya Hall, and like the previous concert, each chorus will present its own short program.

Popular chamber ensemble will return to the Blue Heron The Finisterra Trio, a favorite from last year’s Vashon Chamber Music Concert Series, will return to the Blue Heron for a show at 7:30 p.m. Friday. The Finisterra Trio, which formed in 2003, has become a well recognized chamber ensemble throughout the Northwest. NPR and Seattle’s KING FM have both featured the trio — Brittany Boulding Breeden on violin, Kevin Krentz on cello and Tanya Stambuk on piano. With a reputation for its insightful interpretive work, Finisterra plays a combination of modern works, the standard repertoire and other imaginative, lesser-known pieces. Tickets to the show are $18 for VAA members, students and seniors or $22 for general audience and are available at VAA or www.vashonalliedarts. org.

Vashon guide dogs head to college Some of Vashon’s guide dog raisers will say goodbye to their puppies next week, when three puppies will head to finish their training at Washington State University. WSU is starting a club of its own, said Char Phillips, the local coordinator of the Guide Dogs for the Blind group, and some people in the Vashon group lent them a hand by raising the dogs from 8 weeks old to now, when they are 5 months old. Veterinary students at the university will raise the pups until they are a little more than a year old, Phillips said, and she would like to help the students out

with basic necessities, such as dog beds, crates and toys. Islanders who would like to donate those items are invited to call her at 427-8725. Phillips is raising her 16th puppy and acknowledged it is hard to give them away. “I tear up just thinking about it,” she said. Above, from left, Marielee Storms and Amarillo; Phillips and Jareth and Abbie Fiano and Aslan will part company on April 4, when the trip to WSU takes place. New puppies are slated to arrive on Vashon April 17, and they will stay on the island until they are 14 months old.

Pirates drop one, win one as season opens By ROBIN HRUSKA For The Beachcomber

The Vashon High School baseball team began the 2014 season with a three-inning jamboree in Orting and a non-league game with Fife, coming out of the jamboree with a tie and a win, only to drop 1-9 to Fife with few hits and a struggling pitching staff. The Pirates began their official season March 20 with a game against Seattle Christian, playing to a 10-0 loss. The game got off to a rough start with a few Pirate errors and walks, and in the second inning, Seattle Christian got a jump on the Pirates with a grand slam home run. With the score at 7-0, Logan Hawkins came to the mound in relief. Hawkins baffled Seattle Christian, striking out three batters and only allowing one earned run on four hits and one walk for the rest of the game. Despite logging eight hits and five walks, the Pirates were just not able to string enough hits together to score. Ezra Lacina went 3-4 at the plate, Michael Bernheisel had two hits, and Josh Hruska Myer, Sam Schoenberg and Harper Whitney had one hit each. “This is the second game in a row where we started out not pitching well and got down 0-7 after a grand slam in the second inning,” coach Steve Hall said of the season opener. “Logan Hawkins came in and did a great job of shutting them down for the rest of the game. The boys fought hard the whole way, but it was just too much for us to overcome that big early lead.” In their second regular season outing, the Pirates outlasted and ultimately outscored Eatonville on March 21 after five lead changes, squeaking out a 6-5 win. While Eatonville was the first team to score, the bottom of the second saw the Pirates take the lead with a two-run home run by Jeremy Pilgrim-Stoppel. In the third inning with Eatonville ahead once again, the Pirates scored on a sacrifice fly by Ezra Lacina,

The Pirates took the lead again after an intense fifth inning, when a strong double by Harper Whitney scored Clyde Pruett and Logan Hawkins. Eatonville tied it up again in the top of the sixth, but in the bottom of the inning, a long double by Lacina scored Hruska Myer to put the Pirates back in the lead. In the end the Pirates had 10 hits, with Ryan Bernheisel leading the offensive attack with three, Hruska Myer had two, and Lacina, Whitney, Perrin, Pilgrim-Stoppel and Chester Pruett all contributing one each. Hruska Myer started on the mound going five innings, giving up three earned runs on seven hits with four strikeouts. Chester Pruett closed the game, getting the win for

the Pirates. “The boys bounced back against a very tough Eatonville team in a back and forth game,” Hall said the of the team’s effort in this game. “Josh Myer pitched a great five innings with Chester Pruett coming in after hardly any warm-up, doing a great job of shutting them down for two innings as well as some great defense. We had some big hits. Jeremy with a two-run homer, then a double by Harper to bring us back in the lead, and then Ezra had a huge double by that sent Josh all the way from first base to home to take the lead and hold on to win. A great team effort there.” — Robin Hruska is the parent of a Pirate baseball player.

Last week marked the beginning of the Vashon High School girls fastpitch season. Every new high school season brings a lot of excitement and mystery, with the development of veteran players and the young talent that comes up every year. This season started a little rocky for the Pirates, who dropped their first two games, 11-1 to Seattle Christian, then 8-4 to Eatonville. The first game of the new season at Seattle Christian was last Thursday. The Pirates were optimistic with senior Gabby Frazier on the bump to start the game. Seattle Christian showed that they are a solid team, not making an error for the first four innings of the game. Vashon got on the board in the fifth when senior Paige Browne hit a ball in the gap, scoring sophomore Mallory Breen. Seattle Christian did a great job of manufacturing runs, scoring 11 and ending the game winning by 10. Frazier struck out eight batters in only six innings. Vashon’s home debut was the next day as they welcomed the Cruisers of Eatonville. Sophomore Lilly Hennessey started the game pitching for The Pirates. She pitched four strong innings, allowing only five runs. The defense backed its pitcher well with amazing catches from freshman Aimee Olson and Frazier. In the fifth inning, Frazier came in to pitch, striking out six and allowing three runs. She also added a triple to her game. In the end Vashon came up short losing 8-4 to a very tough Cruiser team. — Exra Lacina is The Riptide sports editor.

Vashon hosts rowing scrimmage, juniors accumulate wins By PAT CALL For The Beachcomber

More than 150 junior rowers from Bainbridge Island, Olympia and Vashon arrived at the Jensen Point boathouse at dawn on Sunday for the fifth annual Saltwater Scrimmage. A brisk northerly tail wind helped to propel boats in 20 events down the 1,500-meter course from Portage to the finish just off Jensen Point. Parents from all three clubs plus a large number of curious islanders gathered near the finish line to cheer on the crews. Rebranded from the original Tri-Island Regatta, when Orcas Island participated in earlier years, this event was a big success judging from the enthusiasm of the rowers who participated. Vashon continued its early-season success, winning 15

The strong tail wind ensured fast times and favored crews rowing with quicker, lighter strokes. The Bainbridge crew was by far the largest of the three teams present.

Horse Liniment Erases Pain HIALEAH, FL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula. According to a national drug survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back under the trade name ARTH ARREST and

says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, ARTH ARREST is useful in the treatment of a variety of painful disorders. ARTH ARREST is available without a prescription or call 877-581-1502. Now at:

became a school teacher in England before meeting David Robinson, her husband and United States soldier, at a dance during WWII. She traveled back to the United States with him at the end of his tour, and they settled on Vashon Island, where she eventually began work at the post office and remained there for over 20 years. She is survived by her son David Robinson, daughter Mary Puno and four grandchildren: Amanda, Craig, Lisa and Kya. She was an active member of the community and a friend to many. In lieu of a large service, her family will hold a small ceremony.

BURN CONTINUED FROM 1

and activists he jokingly calls his “stove army” have been working to address for about three years now. Last year, Burn Manufacturing, a privately held company, released its first clean-burning cookstove. Called the Jikokoa, or “saving stove” in Swahili, it’s the most efficient cookstove on the market, consuming 50 percent less charcoal than the next best option. Standing in Burn’s small design lab at the Sheffield Building last week, Scott explained how Africa’s population is growing at a rapid pace, intensifying the urgency to get clean-burning stoves into homes. By 2030, nearly 1 billion people will rely on biomass — charcoal, wood and dung — for cooking and heating. “If the population is going to double in Africa, we’ve got to get people using this stove that burns half as much fuel just to keep ahead,” he said. The Jikokoa is now available at all major department stores in Kenya, and Burn has sold about 11,000 so far. At $40 a stove, it’s an easy sell, Scott noted. Families in East Africa spend a huge amount — $300 to $700 a year — on charcoal or other fuel for cooking. “To save $350 a year is enormous,” Scott said. “It basically pays for the stove in a month.” But to meet his goal of selling 3.5 million stoves for use in East Africa in the next decade, Scott says he knew Burn needed to up its efforts. Currently parts for the Jikokoa are manufactured in China and shipped to Nairobi, where about 50 Kenyans employed by Burn assemble the stoves for sale. The method works, Scott says, but is not sustainable, as the costs involved in ordering and shipping the parts make it impossible to turn a profit on the small stoves. Beginning in June, however, when Burn’s Nairobi factory is fully operational, Jikokoas and eventually other stove models will be built from start to finish in Kenya. The

operation will also provide 300 badly needed jobs in Kenya’s capital, with half of them going to women. “It’s helping to develop Kenya,” Scott said. Burn’s new factory was made possible in part by $1 million in financing from General Electric and a $3 million loan from the Overseas Private Investment Corp. (OPIC), a federal development finance institution. Hillary Clinton secured the funding during her time at the State Department, when she made clean cookstoves a national priority and launched the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, vowing to invest $50 million in clean-burning stoves. So far, Scott said, OPIC has lent funding only to Burn. “People have put so much work and energy into this, they want to see it succeed,” he said. The new manufacturing plant is also the realization of a dream Scott first imagined decades ago. As a student at the University of British Columbia active in anti-apartheid efforts, Scott found himself in the Congo and saw the rampant deforestation that was taking place there. He wept at what he saw, he recalls, and vowed to commit his life to doing what he could to end it. Scott designed his first stove in 1999 for Hondurans, setting off a globe-trotting journey that would earn him acclaim as a humanitarian and a global leader in the clean cookstove movement. Charismatic and sporting curly hair cropped below his ears, Scott, 45, has been dubbed the Mic Jagger — and more recently the pope — of the cookstove world. “It’s a step up or down, depending on your religious affiliation,” he said with a grin. Scott’s journey most recently brought him to Vashon, which he and his wife, artist Olivia Pendergast, thought would be a good place to raise a family and relax between Scott’s overseas stints. Within months of their 2010 move, however, Scott managed to gather around him a group of Vashon engineers, designers and other professionals who were inspired by his vision and eager to donate their time to make it happen. “There’s nowhere else in the world I could

Page 19

have done this,” Scott said, reflecting on Burn’s early days. “If I had gone to Seattle or something I would have had to have raised millions of dollars to hire these people.” As Scott recently spent long stretches in Kenya working toward the factory opening, Burn Design Lab, now a registered nonprofit that employs 15 people, ran smoothly without him. In a corner of the cavernous warehouse portion of the Sheffield Building, island engineers and interns from around the country now work to develop the next generation of Burn stoves: a commercial stove that will be used in restaurants and by street vendors; a more affordable stove that will sell for $10 less in stores; a stove that will burn not charcoal but wood, a fuel used in more rural parts of Kenya, and even a stove with a fan that will run off of a small solar panel and that Africans can pay for in installments. “We’ve got a whole team of people working every angle, every possible way to get stoves to more people,” said Lou Fezio, Burn’s chief technical officer. Last summer Fezio, an engineer, left his job of 30 years designing K2 skis to work full time at Burn. “It’s crazy, it’s maddening; sometimes it’s an enormous amount of work. But you can just watch it happen,” Fezio said of Burn’s growth since it was founded three years ago. “I think we’re going to keep growing,” he said. Fezio recently spent time in Kenya helping to set up the new factory, a process he said was fraught with barriers due to the county’s lack of infrastructure. “Manufacturing in a developing country is a huge challenge,” agreed Paul Means, a research and testing manager at Burn. “You can’t go out and buy things like you can in the U.S. or order something from Amazon and have it show up the next day.” Only through Scott’s single-minded determination, both men say, did the new factory ultimately open in a former warehouse. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on March 3. “The conditions are really extreme, and he pulled it off in a visionary way, with some smart people around him,” said Ward

Serrill, an award-winning filmmaker who was also taken by Scott’s determination a couple years ago. Serrill has been following Scott on and off since, producing a documentary on Burn’s efforts titled “Catching Fire: Peter Scott’s Stove Army.” Ward and his wife and film partner Sophie Mortimer met Scott while living on Vashon and decided to feature Burn in a documentary they were working on about trees. However, they quickly decided Burn’s work deserved a closer look, and have now shot more than 50 hours of film both on Vashon and in Africa, working to produce a documentary that will likely be shown on KCTS and other similar stations. A 25-minute preview of the documentary will be shown next month next door to Burn, at the Open Space for Arts & Community. “This is a little local story that has global impacts that we don’t know about here,” Ward said last week. “I think it’s a really big, cool story because of the odds against him. ... I call it a chase-the-wild animal documentary because I don’t know how it’s going to end.” With Burn’s Kenya factory not yet fully operational, Scott is already doing what he’s become known for — dreaming ahead. Within months, he expects the company will release the world’s most efficient woodburning stove, which is currently being designed with funding from the Department of Energy and a partnership with the University of Washington. And he’s already planning Burn’s next cookstove factory, hoping to open what he calls “the greenest manufacturing facility in the world” within a few years. Looking beyond that, he notes inefficient cookstoves are used around the world, and the crisis is global. “I’ll die feeling like there’s still a lot more to do,” he said.

See the documentary A 25-minute preview of the documentary “Catching Fire: Peter Scott’s Stove Army ” will be shown at 7 p.m. Friday, April 18, at the Open Space. A Q&A with the filmmakers and Peter Scott will follow.

K2 CONTINUED FROM 1

Joe McDermott, Vashon’s representative on the King County Council, said the town plan amendment is moving through the council just as quickly as any proposal would and is scheduled to go before the Transportation, Economy and Environment (TrEE) Committee on April 1. It will be considered in the committee — which meets twice a month — for two or three meetings before the committee makes a recommendation and sends it on to the full council for a vote. “It’s a pretty set legislative process,” McDermott said. Noting that he isn’t the committee chair so he didn’t set the agenda, McDermott said he expects the amendment could be scheduled for a public hearing and voted on by the full council as soon as April 28 and that the committee isn’t likely to move any faster. “I think this is part of the due diligence of legislative work that people expect the council to do,” he said. Anglin said he also recently found out that the process to obtain a CUP for the K2 building could take longer than Bakkhos had hoped. Anglin said they were told by King County that the company could expedite a CUP, but more recently learned that was no longer possible due to staffing cuts at the Department of Permitting and Environmental Review (DPER). Ty Peterson, a product line manager at DPER who has been working with new marijuana businesses, said he couldn’t speak to the staffing at the department but said that it is still possible to expedite parts of the CUP process for extra fees. However, he said county representatives would not have promised Bakkhos any process could be rushed until they were in the acutal permitting process and DPER could look at its current caseload and make a decision. A typical CUP process takes around six months, Peterson said, though an appeal can delay it. He said he expects an appli-

largely blames islanders who have opposed Bakkhos, saying they’ve delayed the county council’s process, and calls for action from EdiPure supporters. Anglin elaborated on the situation in his own comments, and many others commented on the post, saying they wanted to help and would contact county councilmembers to ask them to move quickly. On Monday evening, a banner went up over one of the for sale signs at K2 that read “Save EdiPure” and directed people to a Facebook page with the same name. As of press time, that page had 46 likes. And according to Los, a group planned to be outside of K2 Tuesday after press deadline, stopping passersby and asking them to contact King County Councilmember Rod Dembowski, who chairs to TrEE Committee, to ask him to fast track the amendment. “It looked very dire; it looked very grim, and now it looks like there is a chance,” Anglin said on Monday. “The ball is in the council’s court.” However, told that McDermott expected the amendment would be considered at two or three TrEE Committee hearings before moving to the full council, Anglin said, “That would be too long.” He noted one TrEE committee meeting was already cancelled last month and he believes the committee chair supports taking several meetings to consider the proposal. “Enough is enough,” he said. McDermott said it is unlikely the council will move the proposal through any faster than normal, despite requests from islanders, adding that he’s also heard from many who believe the county is acting too quickly. He said he still believes the amendment has support on the council, but it will go through the normal process. “We’re going to be as diligent with this and as careful with this as we are with anything,” he said. “I’m not expediting it, nor am I stalling it, and people are concerned that both are happening.” Anglin said Bakkhos would likely hold off on making a final decision about K2 until after the April 1 TrEE Committee meeting.

Teekah is a mystery cat for us.

Her person died and the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister brought Teekah to VIPP. Sadly, the sister had no information about Teekah. Teekah is a beautiful plus sized girl who is very sweet. She enjoys pets and getting brushed. She can be intimidated by other cats with big personalities but she gets along with most of her bunkmates at the shelter. From what we have observed, Teekah would do best in a quiet home where she can get lots of lap time and love. Teekah came to VIPP on 2/1/14.

A bouncing happy little girl, Katie is looking for a family to call her own. People are her favorites, but she has met her four resident cockers in her foster home with friendlinessâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; not threatening and not threatened. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eager to become a permanent family member, able to run and explore without a leash and sleep near a fireplace or on your bed. Katie has weathered cataract and dental surgeries with aplomb. Not surprisingly, the results reflect her flawless personality. To meet Katie, please call Barb at 206-567-5222.
