Bus cuts are down the road for Vashon Reductions not as drastic on Vashon as other places Staff Writer
By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer

Bus riders at the north-end ferry terminal load a bus on route 118, which is scheduled for service reductions, according to a Metro plan. The proposition, however, was defeated last week, with 54 percent voting no in the April 22 special election. Following its defeat, Metro’s General Manager Kevin Desmond said that while the agency had hoped to avoid service reductions, it would move
ahead with the cuts. Because of improved sales tax revenue forecasts, Metro now plans to cut 16 percent of its service, instead of the anticipated 17 percent, and has put forward a plan accordingly. “We must now move forward
to reduce the system to our revenues, as any enterprise must do,” Desmond said. Metro has proposed completely canceling 72 routes countywide and revising or reducing 84 routes, with initial SEE BUS CUTS, 19
Motorcyclist killed in accident on Vashon Highway Victim was a West Seattle man who enjoyed going for rides on his bike By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
A West Seattle man riding his motorcycle on Vashon on Saturday was killed when he was struck by a vehicle on Vashon Highway near the north end. Patrick Lajko, 62, had stopped to make a left turn when he was hit from behind, according to Sgt. Cindi West, a spokeswoman for the King County Sheriff’s Office. The accident occurred at about
Two companies look to open pot stores on island Results of lottery for licenses will be announced this week
By SUSAN RIEMER
In the wake of last week’s failure of Proposition 1, some Metro bus cuts will come as early as this fall, while others, including those on Vashon, are not slated until September of next year. Unless a funding solution is found before then, Vashon’s bus routes will likely see slight service reductions. King County Metro announced last fall that without a new source of funding, it would have to reduce countywide bus service by 17 percent. After the state Legislature failed to pass a transportation bill that would have made way for additional funding, earlier this year the King County Council, created the Transportation and Benefit District, which put forth Prop. 1. The measure, if approved, would have provided $130 million in annual funds for buses and road maintenance and repair in King County. The measure called for a $60 car tab fee and one-tenth of a percent increase in county sales tax.

Two off-island companies are apparently vying to set up recreational marijuana retail stores on Vashon, taking part in the state’s lottery for 11 licenses for such stores that will be granted in unincorporated King County. Applications were submitted to the state Liquor Control Board for marijuana shops that would be located at Courthouse Square and at the former Vashon Family Practice building in Vashon town. Last week the LCB held a lottery for 334 licenses it plans to issue for marijuana retail shops statewide. Eleven of those licenses will be given in unincorporated King County, which saw about 35 total applications. Results of the lottery will be announced on Friday. Mikhail Carpenter, an LCB spokesman, said he couldn’t confirm that the two Vashon applications were a part of the lottery. However, according to documents obtained from the LCB, applicants for both locations submitted the documents required to be pre-screened and enter the lottery, including proof of state residency and proof of rights to the identified properties. Carpenter said that of about 2,100 retail applications the state received, 1,700 applicants made it through the prescreening process. In a complex lottery completed by the state last week, random numbers were assigned to applicants in 76 cities and counties where there were more applications than there are licenses available. “We’re not having one great big lottery. We’re having 76 little lotteries in jurisdictions where it’s appropriate,” Carpenter said. Being selected in the lottery doesn’t guarantee a license will be granted. Businesses must still complete the application process — providing financial information and business plans — and everyone

VoV secures call letters, announces fundraiser for FM radio station Voice of Vashon plans to broadcast as KVSH By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
Voice of Vashon has secured call letters for its new FM station and will kick off a fundraiser to purchase equipment to set up the station. “We’re going to get on the air; I believe it,� said Jean Bosch, the president of VoV. “After 14 years ... this is the easy part.� VoV learned earlier this year that it had been granted a permit from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to start an FM radio station on the island. The nonprofit group recently secured call letters for that station, earning FCC approval to call the station KVSH. Bosch said VoV’s board considered many different call letters. Some letter combinations, such as KVOV, weren’t available because other FM stations in the country already have them. The board voted on the final choice. An AM station in the small town of Valentine, Nebraska, has the KVSH call letters. But since it is an AM station and therefore on a different radio band, Voice of Vashon was able to use the same letters, with the Valentine station’s permission.
Last week VoV also announced that it will kick off a fundraiser to bring in $50,000 to get the FM station on the air. The funds will go toward the purchase and installation of an FM antenna and transmitter, which will be installed atop Water District 19’s water tower near town. The money will also fund the purchase of other required equipment and additional start-up costs, such as training new volunteer contributors, according to VoV Vice President Rick Wallace. The group will officially begin its fundraising on May 6, the Seattle Foundation’s GiveBig Day (for more on GiveBig, see page 5.) Bosch said VoV plans to hold an event that day at Snapdragon to publicize its fundraiser and has a half-dozen private fundraisers planned for homes on Vashon in the next month. Bosch said VoV has about a year to start the station but hopes to raise the funds by early summer, in time to begin construction of its antenna. She said VoV has already received a lot of positive feedback on the FM station and she has no doubt they will be able to raise the money. “I’m very heartened and excited,� she said.

Vashon Island Bicycles, facing financial difficulties, will likely have to shutter its doors. Jeff Ammon, the shop’s owner, said last week that the shop has been struggling for the past year or two, as it as seen a steep decline in business. Ammon repairs and rents bicycles and sells bike parts and accessories at the shop on 178th Street, which he has owned for 18 years. However, in recent years business has dropped to about a quarter of what it used to be, he said. Lately he has struggled to make rent and has been unable to restock some of his shelves. “It’s been rough,” he said. “It’s really not paying the bills.” Ammon said there could be a number of reasons his business has dropped off. The poor economy has affected many small business, he said, more people are purchasing bike parts and accessories online now, and there’s now a sec-

a friend, set up an online fundraiser where people can donate to the shop. Hildebrand hopes to raise $1,500 to cover a month of Ammon’s rent, and he also organized a couple of small concerts at the shop to bring in donations. Hildebrand called the bike shop a fixture on Vashon and said it would be sad to see it go. “I think it’s just a really key part of the uptown community,” he said, noting that kids and teens often hang out at the shop as well. As of Monday, the fundraiser, hosted by the website GoFundMe had brought in $505. Ammon said he was touched by the fundraiser and appreciated the support, but he would need more than $1,500 to keep his doors open. He is considering moving the business to another retail spot or possibly to his home. Whether the shop stays open past the end of the month, he said, depends on what kind of agreement he can work out with his landlord. Last week he had already begun moving some things out of the store. Ammon said he was feeling calm about the transition but sad at the idea of losing the shop. “It’s weird, let me tell you, to think about not coming in,” he said.

NEWS BRIEFS Dentists establish foundation in honor of Palmer Burk Dr. Daryl Yorek, a Tacoma orthodontist who also has office hours on Vashon, is working with island dentists to form a foundation in honor of Palmer Burk, a former patient of Yorek’s who died by suicide in 2012. “Palmer was a special patient,” Yorek said. “I was shocked when he passed and wanted very much to support his family.” The Palmer Smiles Foundation will be a collaborative effort between Yorek and island dentists Dr. Leif Rasmussen of Vashon Dental and Dr. James Cunnington of Dental Care of Vashon. The group will choose one or two children of families in need each year to receive both dental and orthodontic care free of charge, for as long as they need it. “Palmer had such a positive effect on his peers. We thought that helping kids get the care that they otherwise might not be able to get would be a good way to continue that positive legacy,” Yorek said. The group’s vision is that the foundation will grow, hopefully to include other businesses and services. Fittingly, Palmer Smiles’ first patient is Palmer’s sister, Garnet Burk, who is now receiving orthodontic care from Yorek. For more information about the Palmer Smiles program, contact Stephanie Peterson at 253-537-5565 or email dryorek@hotmail.com.

Islander’s bakery named one of the top in the country by Fodor’s Adding to a growing list of accolades, islander Leslie Mackie’s Macrina Bakery was recently named one of the top 10 bakeries in the country by Fodor’s Travel Guide. “It was a surprise,” said Mackie of the honor. “They don’t tell you it’s going to happen. I found out when customers began congratulating me.” Macrina, which celebrates its 21st year this summer, was started by Mackie in Belltown in 1993. Two more locations have since been added, in Queen Anne and initially Vashon, though logistics and new business partners resulted in a move from Vashon to the SoDo neighborhood. “That was sad. I loved our Vashon bakery at the Old Fuller Store,” Mackie said, “but the logistics just didn’t work for everybody.” This isn’t the first time Macrina has been recognized nationally. Three years ago Bon Apetite magazine also named the bakery to its top 10 list. Describing Macrina as a bakery where “breadmaking has been elevated to an art form,” Fodor’s offers high praise of Mackie’s expertise. “I’m just so pleased to have been recognized and included on such an impressive list,” she said. “It’s a real testament to our dedicated and remarkable employees. They make this possible every day.”

recovering. According to Mark Gingrich, an operations manager with Murrey’s Disposal, Vashon’s garbage collection service, Potter was taken by ambulance to Harborview Medical Center for treatment of his injuries and was released later the same day. Potter is unable to work right now due to his injuries, but is recovering at home and is in good spirits, Gingrich said. He is unsure when Potter might return to the job. “We don’t really have a time frame right now, but we’re excited for him to come back,” Gingrich said. “He misses his customers and really appreciates the support that he’s received from the Vashon community so far.” Well-wishes for Potter can be sent to PO Box 13242, Burton, 98013.

Old pickup trucks: at home on Vashon
Metro cuts are light here, but solution is still needed
Sometimes I think I’m a little slow (that was not an invitation for comments, by the way), but the other day it dawned on me that I have never lived anywhere where there were so many old pickup trucks as there are right here on Vashon Island. Have you noticed? How could you not? I’m not talking about lovingly restored “classic” trucks, like the ones in the Strawberry Festival parade, though there are plenty of them, too. No, I’m talking about beat-up, paint-faded pickups built shortly after I was born, which is to say in a previous century. (Maybe that’s the connection: They’re old and beat-up like me.) Most of these trucks look like they never should have been pulled out of the overgrown field where they had been dying a peaceful death and put back on the road. You can almost imagine them pleading, “Nooo, I am old and arthritic, don’t make me work again!” Take my Burton Coffee Stand friend Richard. Please. No seriously, here’s this well-educated chap, an architect no less, and he drives around the island in an — I don’t know — maybe 50-year-old badly dented pickup the color of black primer paint, as if somehow he’d forgotten to finish the job, you know? It’s hideous. He pulls into the parking area by the coffee stand and the value of the surrounding real estate plummets. It’s so disreputable looking that other customers move their cars so as not to be associated with it.
Metro bus service cuts planned for King County will hit the region hard. Some areas will see drastic cuts to service and lose entire routes. Some people will have to find new ways to get where they’re going. And some bus commuters will be forced back into cars, contributing to the Seattle area’s already bad congestion and sending more pollution into the air. On Vashon the bus cuts, not slated to take effect until fall of next year, don’t seem quite so bad. While earlier proposals included eliminating service to Maury, the county’s detailed plan released late last week keeps Vashon’s two routes intact and includes just a few round trip cuts throughout the day. We know some of Vashon’s bus trips, particularly those not during peak commute times, are sparsely used, so it seems King County could have justified cutting more. But according to a Metro official, the county took into account that unlike other areas, Vashon doesn’t have alternate bus routes riders can turn to or other public transit options. We’re glad King County has recognized that without other options for getting around, our already limited bus service on Vashon remains vital. However, it’s hard to tell just how significant Vashon’s cuts will be for riders. Some have suggested that since Metro service on Vashon is already sparse, any cuts will be felt. And in a place where many people don’t live close enough to town to walk there, those who rely on the bus here truly rely on it. We don’t know exactly which trips are being cut, but we also know some commute-hour buses are standing room only already. The passage of Proposition 1 would have created funding to avoid these countywide cuts. Here at The Beachcomber we knew the measure wasn’t perfect — many have pointed out the proposed taxes were regressive and Metro could possibly do more to cut costs. However, we supported the tax and fee hike because we believe cutting bus service is just as regressive — it hits the low-income population the hardest. And in a time mounting concern over climate change, bus cuts will likely result in more harm to the environment. Now that the proposition has failed, at least one other solution is already in the works. Though the latest idea for a property tax initiative would appear to only benefit Seattle, it could have ripple effects for other parts of the county. While we supported Prop. 1, perhaps its failure will result in an even better option for King County. Most promising, perhaps, is the prospect that the state Legislature, given another stab at it, will pass a transportation package that includes a less regressive tax to support Metro and also addresses road maintenance needs not just in King County but throughout the state. It’s unfortunate that in the meantime, some of society’s most vulnerable, those who have depended on the bus to get around, will be affected.
NORTH PASSAGES By WILL NORTH I’m serious. Did I mention the guy is an architect? Clearly, he could afford a new car, right? But no. Then there’s my other coffee stand pal, Jerry. He’s got an even older pickup, an antique he’s lovingly restored. It’s like a museum piece, except that he’s dropped a humongously powerful engine into it. When he drives up Vashon Highway, it sounds like a pack of Hell’s Angels on Harley Davidsons. He’s also dropped, as near as I can tell, at least a zillion dollars into it, too. I’m thinking that for all the cash he’s poured into this truck, the guy could have bought himself a Ferrari, you know? But I know Jerry’s problem. Richard’s, too. It is this: They know how to fix mechanical things. This is a terrible affliction, like obsessive compulsive disorder. They see something old and broken and they simply cannot help themselves from fixing it. As someone completely incapable of fixing even a broken shoelace, I just can’t relate. Looking around the island, I think it is clear this affliction is widespread. There are legions of guys intent on fixing

Schools foundation
Outdated textbooks need replacing The recent editorial concerning the need for us to continue to support the schools foundation is quite accurate (“School’s foundation changing, but it’s still important to give,” April 16). This year, I do hope that my students will be the recipients of the island’s generosity. The hope is to buy a new text for all students in 11th grade. It is sorely needed, as the text I am using was printed in 1996. Not only have significant events transpired since the Clinton Administration, but the study and interpretation of U.S. history continues to change as new evidence becomes available. A new text will also
allow the Social Studies department to offer an AP United States history class because the text will be aligned to the new standards of the U.S. AP history curriculum. Thank you for supporting your schools. — Martha Woodard Vashon Island High School teacher

and driving clunker pickups. And do these people try to hide their affliction? Of course not; this is Vashon: They flaunt it. You see these guys rumbling down the road in their old beaters, and they look happier than pigs in a pigsty, if you take my meaning. Big smiles. Big plumes of blue smoke trailing behind them, too. Speaking of pigs, a pickup truck, as you no doubt know, can be a very useful thing to own if you are, say, a gentleman farmer on this island. Richard and Jerry, though? Professionals, not farmers. Not even gentlemen, either, come to that, though maybe they once were before they began hanging out at the Burton Coffee Stand, a deeply corrupting experience I lay squarely at the feet of another regular, my friend and fellow exNew Yorker, Bad Michael. But that’s another story. And haul stuff around in the truck? Forget it. Take Jerry’s truck, for example. Know what’s in the pickup bed where “stuff” should go? A bolted down, carefully restored and varnished antique wooden trunk. Get it? Trunk? It’s so cute and sweet you want to get an insulin shot. When I moved to Vashon six years ago, somebody said, “If you stay, sooner or later you’re gonna have a beard and a pony tail.” And maybe a beat-up pickup.

School District Spanish language preschool may become a reality. Studies nationwide have shown that children that show up at primary school with a learning disadvantage are likely to fall behind their peers as they progress through the school system. The disadvantage can be anything from a language barrier to stress experienced at home. Our new preschool program is designed to better prepare both children that come from Spanish speaking homes, and at-risk children (at-risk students are those who, by virtue of their circumstances, are statistically more likely than others to fail academically) for their first day of school as Chautauqua kindergartner. Classes will be taught in Spanish, and when the children move to Chautauqua, they will have the opportunity to elect dual language classes for kindergarten as they transition to English-only instruction. English-speaking preschoolers will also benefit from Spanish immersion because it engages their brains and stimulates cognitive development. VSF and the Vashon School District are dedicated to making our schools work for everyone, and this is one more step toward achieving our goal. But we can’t do it without your help.

You should be getting a card soon in the mail from VSF with a list of priorities for funding. The preschool is at the top of the list. With $25,000 from VSF, along with a proposed grant from Washington State’s Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program, we hope to inaugurate the preschool for 14 children who fit this description. If you would like to know more, I encourage you to read the work of Thomas and Collier on the success of dual language programs. And please support VSF this year. The support it gives our schools is invaluable — Roxanne Lyons Director of Instructional Services & Grants Vashon Island School District

The decision however, to send all traffic through the Burma Road loop as two-way movement was, however, a poor one. I realize that until the accident investigation was complete, the choices were to either close the road entirely or use the Burma Road loop. Certainly using Burma Road was reasonable. As in most cases, simply because a road is on a map doesn’t mean it is suitable for all vehicles. The vehicle flow should have been restricted to specific automobile numbers in one-way alternating directions. Vashon is a community of willing volunteers. A call to the local volunteer responder exchange would bring an amazing force of knowledgeable helpers willing to direct traffic flow. Unfortunately, on Saturday afternoon, the narrow passage (sometimes only allowing one-vehicle to pass) turned into a chaotic, white-knuckle, waiting-for-an-accident traffic jam. No
full-time law enforcement personnel were seen directing traffic on the loop (in spite of five emergency vehicles being transported by the ferry). Yes, I was part of that traffic jam. I witnessed many near-misses, cars getting so close to the steep edges they risked being rollovers — drivers (and passengers) requiring rescuing , vehicles with inadequate tires struggling to move on the wet narrow, hilly roads. A breakdown or serious accident would have been almost Armageddon. I realize that hindsight is a wonderfully perfect thing and prayerfully we’ll never need the Burma Road loop for a similar situation again, but if we do, those in charge of making traffic decisions will do well to remember the many island volunteers who are willing to assist in disastrous situations. — Dave Burton

Last Saturday, Ivy Free Vashon, in cooperation with King County, held an ivy cutting event along the north end of Vashon Highway and the ferry parking lot. Twenty volunteers worked for three hours cutting ivy from the trees. The purpose of the event, according to organizers, was to increase awareness of the harmful effects of ivy and with the dying ivy leaves create a temporary visual reminder of the need to control it. Ivy is harmful for several reasons. In trees it can create a sail effect which increases the potential for windfall. It also reduces access to trees by wildlife, and vertically growing ivy produces seeds which can be spread by birds.

Vashon art is here, there and everywhere Most galleries and art spots are open 6 to 9 p.m. Friday Kasia Stahancyk’s fused glass artwork will be on display at Blooms & Things. Stahancyk retired early to Vashon to pursue her art. Her creations are decorative yet functional and have been exhibited in regional shows and art fairs. Much of her work is in personal collections in Europe and the U.S. Cafe Luna presents “A Soldier Boy Hears the Distant Guns: The Vietnam War Photographs of Christopher Gaynor.” These candid and often haunting portrait photographs were taken by former army sergeant and photographer Gaynor during his 1967-68 tour in Vietnam. Many of the photographs were also in Gaynor’s show at the Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Museum, which won the Association of King County Historical Organizations (AKCHO) Award for Best Exhibit 2012. Duet will hold a special silent auction for a vintage art piece by the late artist Michael Spakowsky. Drawn in 1969 when Spakowsky was 19 years old, this pen and ink piece is a nautical scene featuring tall ships. Interested parties can place bids now through the end of the First Friday gallery walk. The retail gallery will exhibit other paintings by Spakowsky as well as a show of new acrylic paintings by Lenard Yen titled “Mixed Motions.” Hastings-Cone Gallery will exhibit work by Oregon artist Paula Bullwinkle. HUB 070 Gallery, in the Spinnaker Building, will show “May Flowers” by Lisa DeFaccio, an exhibit lusterous and luminous blossoms in ceramics. It will show through June 27. Maxwell Family Medicine will show work by international artist Aliona Aziornaya, who fuses images of pre-Christian and pre-Soviet Russia with a contemporary look using mixed media, pastels and oils. OCCU will show mixed media created by its employees — mosaics by Anna Campanoli, photography by Kirsten Bachant, knitings by Carole Sussman and oil paintings by Margi Amstrup. Quartermaster Press will have monoprints and cards designed and printed by the artists in the collective. Raven’s Nest will feature hand-pulled original serigraph prints and cedar carvings by award-winning Coast Salish artist Peter Boome. In addition to his Salish contempo-
rary designs of Puget Sound and Coast Salish, Boome also creates intertribal art influenced by his childhood experiences on a reservation in Utah. A small collection of Boome’s cedar carvings, a rattle and bentwood boxes will also be on display. Boome will be at Raven’s Nest to talk about his work. Pam Ingalls’ eighth annual portrait exhibition at The Hardware Store Restaurant is called “Facing New Zealand, Portraits of Maori People & Their Land.” Ingalls said, “The urban Maori people so impressed me as being committed to their community. They are vibrant, fascinating people who have integrated into Western culture without losing their cultural identity. Plus they are beautiful and very fun to paint.” Daryl Redeker will perform throughout the opening. Starving Artist Works (SAW) will celebrate its second anniversary on Friday. SAW opened its doors in May of 2012, then showing works by 20 artists. Two years later, it now represents over 90 Vashon artists. Two Wall Gallery will exhibit photographs by Harbor School students, taken under the guidance and instruction of island artists Christine Beck and Ray Pfortner during the school’s week-long Voyagers Week Travel Study program to Port Townsend. This digital photography intensive immersed students in lessons of composition, framing, lighting, critiquing and exhibiting photographs. For its annual May show, VALISE invited islanders to submit a piece of artwork created in any medium — painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, textiles, digital, installation, video, sound, light, poetry and music. The show will be a full exhibition of all the artwork the gallery received. Three Vashon artists will display their artwork in three different mediums at the Vashon Allied Arts Gallery. Photographer Kim Farrell captures surfaces in old buildings to create the texture and color found in abstract art. Kathy Larsdotter’s paintings focus on the Vashon-Maury shoreline and watershed. Ivonne Escobar de Kommer uses copper and large test tubes in her work based on the natural elements she finds in her garden. Vashon Tea Shop will exhibit Claire Schlosser’s playful acrylic paintings in a show titled “Angel Unicorns and Fairy Friends.” Island musicians Todd Zimberg and Maggie Laird will perform throughout the opening.
Artwork on display First Friday will include pieces by (top to bottom) Kathly Larsdotter, Christopher Gaynor, Paula Bullwinkle and Julian White-Davis.

Take a tour of island art studios and galleries By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
On the first two weekends in May, in a long-held tradition, Vashon artists will open their studios for curious art lovers to take a peek into their work-a-day world during the annual Spring Art Studio Tour. This year 20 studios of painters, sculptors, printmakers, jewelers, potters, wood carvers, glass artists and more will be on the tour, along with three retail galleries. Visitors can watch glass-blowers fashion new work or step into a yurt on a small working farm for a demonstration on hand-painting Ukrainian eggs. There are potters turning out functional wares and those who hand-shape raku-fired pots. Delicately crafted sterling silver jewelry, hand-felting, space-age folk art assemblages, garden art and concrete sculptures inspired by a Japanese aesthetic are for sale, as are a plethora of cards, woodcut and mono prints, whimsical tiles, drawings and photography. Visitors can purchase original artwork at the studios and are encouraged to ask artists about their creative process. The tour also provides a delightful opportunity to see what lies beyond the island’s main highway. Many of the studios are tucked away in the woods, situated on inland farms or boast water views. Tour brochures with maps are available online at www. VashonIslandArtStudioTour.com and at island businesses, galleries and art studios.
Artwork in many mediums will be on the Spring Art Studio Tour, including work by Ken Judd (top left) Kristen Reitz-Green (top right) Pam Ingalls (bottom left) and Mary Hosick (bottom right).

ACCIDENT CONTINUED FROM 1
unable to revive Lajko, Brown said, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. West said the driver of the other vehicle was a Vashon woman who is in her 60s, and authorities believe she was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The incident is still under investigation, West said, and it is not yet known if any citations or criminal charges will result. Lajko was the founder and president of CDE Software, a bowling software company based in West Seattle since 1988. Lance Rasmussen, CDE’s manager, said on Monday that Lajko had lived in West Seattle for over 25 years, was “active in a lot of different things” and
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
enjoyed going for rides on his motorcycle. He apparently was involved with local groups that met up for rides in the area. “He was great to work for,” Rasmussen added. Lajko left behind a mother and a brother, Rasmussen said. West said authorities don’t know where Lajko was headed when he stopped to turn on the highway. Faith Addicott, who works at Palouse Winery and was there at the time of the accident, said Palouse was open that day but there were no customers there at the time. She didn’t know whether Lajko was coming into the winery, heading down a neighboring driveway or perhaps planned to turn around in Palouse’s large, gravel driveway, which drivers often do, she said. The speed limit on Vashon Highway drops from 50 mph to 35 mph right by
Palouse. “We at Palouse are deeply shaken and saddened by the day’s events,” Addicott said in an email. The highway was closed in both directions for several hours on Saturday evening while the county’s Major Accident Response and Reconstruction team investigated. Traffic was rerouted via Burma Road, the only possible detour for that area, according to officials. Brown, with VIFR, said he has since received about a half-dozen comments from drivers who felt the detour on the narrow, windy road created a dangerous situation and saw near accidents there. There were no reported accidents during the detour, Brown said, but he hopes to arrange a meeting with VIFR, the sheriff ’s office and the county roads department to discuss the handling of future detours.

Vashon Crew rows to victory in Canada By PAT CALL For The Beachcomber
The Brentwood College International Regatta is a 1,500-meter event with 147 races over two and half days and is an annual favorite of Vashon’s junior crew. Against rowers representing 38 U.S. and Canadian clubs, Vashon’s team put in another strong spring performance, medalling in 15 of the 23 races it entered. Many of Vashon’s top junior rowers over the past decade have not won top honors at Brentwood, a testament to the skill of the other teams who compete there. This is the only regatta where Vashon faces western Canada’s top crews. On Friday afternoon, Vashon’s crew qualified 10 boats in 14 races entered. Saturday started with two early and exciting races: the men’s and women’s A varsity coxed quads (“A” means “open”; the “B” category designates rowers 16 and under). The women (Mia Croonquist, Kalie Heffernan, Riley Lynch, Kirsten Girard and cox Callie Andrews) held off a late surge to win the gold, while the men were not able to quite catch the lead boat, finishing with the silver. Vashon’s morning races completed with a gold medal for the women’s B novice coxed quad (R. Lynch, Rhea Enzian, Katrina Heffernan, Madelyn McEachern and cox Andrews) and a bronze for the junior men’s A novice coxed quad. To this point the Brentwood planning magic was working to perfection, but at precisely 1 p.m., the wind whipped up, turning the course into a patchwork of unrowable whitecaps and swells and sending the regatta into the penalty box for the rest of the day. Forecasts for Sunday from four surrounding locations were grim, but

The men’s A single scull with Jacob Plihal at the oars had the added pressure of defending Vashon’s winning the trophy last year. Plihal, at 6 feet, 8 inches, doesn’t fit easily into a single scull, and, in fact, was racing a different boat on Sunday from the one he qualified in on Friday since he was in peril of sliding entirely out of Friday’s smaller shell. Showing the same tenacity as in the qualifier, Plihal took over the race, winning the gold by a boat length. With the postponement of Saturday’s races, the organizers changed the remaining heats into finals with the relative time of the qualifying boats in the heats determining the medal winners. A consequence of this scoring system is that if rowers are not in a strong heat but are substantially ahead, they have to have the mental toughness to imagine a competitor right on their stern and pour on the power anyway. The women’s A four was the first of
several Vashon boats to succumb to this scorekeeping method, winning its heat, but falling less than two-tenths of a second shy of the winning time of another heat. That silver medal was matched by the men’s and women’s doubles. The women’s B double (R. Lynch – stroke, Enzian – bow) and novice eight (R. Lynch, Enzian, McEachern, Virginia Miller, Katrina Heffernan, Lili Helsby, Tabitha Illerbrunn, Adriana Yarkin and cox Andrews) both took home gold medals. This win by an eight was a first for Vashon at Brentwood. The medal tally was completed with a gritty silver medal performance by the women’s A lightweight four and a bronze for the men’s B double. In summing up the weekend, coach Richard Parr had a single word: “Awesome.” The women’s and men’s quads will row this Saturday in the UW invitation-only Opening Day races at the Montlake Cut. — Pat Call is the father of two junior rowers.
Fastpitch takes on Puyallup The Pirates fastpitch softball team traveled to Puyallup to take on Cascade Christian last Friday. This was the first meeting of the two teams this year, and the game went down to the wire, but Vashon managed to hold off the Cougars for an 8-7 victory. Sophomore Delaney Anderson led the game off with a walk, stole second and third, then was hit in for the first run of the game. The Pirates exploded for a seven run first inning, chasing Cascade’s starting pitcher off the mound before the end of the inning. Cascade’s relief pitcher finally retired the side to put Vashon on defense. Senior Gabby Frazier had a very strong first inning, giving up no runs. The Pitcher for Cascade pitched strong for the Cougars, allowing only one more run in the game. Both teams hit the ball well, with Vashon getting 26 hits and Cascade 22. Slowly Cascade chipped away at the lead, coming to within one run in the seventh, but Frazier was able to hold off the Cascade bats for the win. Frazier struck out 11 batters and hit a triple and a double. Anderson was also very impressive, stealing six bases. — Ezra Lacina
Soccer heads into busy week Vashon’s varsity boys soccer team played two hard games last week. Tuesday saw Vashon take on Charles Wright Academy. The game was executed well in the first half and was tied at 0-0 going into the second half. After going down two goals, Austyn Heit, assisted by Anthony Gateman, slipped a goal in the net. The game tied up in the final minute when Ariel Henriquez solo dribbled a goal right down the throat of the Charles Wright goalie. The overtime game saw Vashon fall 4-2 as the rain and cold helped exhaustion set in. Two nights later, at Vashon’s stadium, the Pirates played Cascade Christian. Vashon dominated the game with possession, passing and endurance. Cascade scrambled the first half to contain the entire 11 Vashon players. During the second half, the visitors tightened up, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw. The Pirates travel three times this week. Monday after press deadline was a game against Life Christian. Wednesday is a rematch against Charles Wright, and Saturday will be in Bothell against Cedar Park Christian. The Pirates enter this week with a record of 5 wins, 3 losses and 2 ties. They will return home next week for the last three regular season games. — Ben Bork

The Pirate baseball team lost 9-2 to Seattle Christian last Monday, despite out-hitting the Terriers 11-6. Leading the offensive attack for The Pirates was Josh Hruska Myer, who got a hit in each of his four at bats. He singled in the first, third, fifth and sixth innings. Teddy Atwell hit two singles, and Ezra Lacina, Ryan Bernheisel, Sam Schoenberg, Simon Perrin and Chester Pruett each had one. Seattle Christian got an early lead in the game with four runs scored in the first inning. The Pirates scored in the bottom of the third on an RBI single by Ezra Lacina to cut their deficit to three, but the only other RBI by Sam Schoenberg in the sixth wasn’t enough for The Pirates to get the win. The pitching staff for the Pirates gave up only three earned runs. Starting pitcher Lacina went strong for five innings, with four strikeouts and two earned runs on four hits. In the end, the Terriers had nine runs on six hits with one error, and the Pirates had three runs on 11 hits with five errors. The Pirates’ second outing of the week was on Friday at Cascade Christian. Pitching for the Pirates was Hruska Myer, who tossed a shutout to lift the Pirates to a 1-0 win over Cascade in seven innings. He had seven strikeouts and gave up three hits. Catcher Lacina was key to the win by throwing a runner out at second in the sixth inning and a then runner out at third to end the game. Schoenberg started off the game with a single, followed by a single from Hruska Myer advancing Schoenberg to third, and then Lacina singled to drive home the only run of the game. Clyde Pruett had a double; Hruska Myer had two singles and Schoenberg and Lacina each had a single. The Pirates ended up with one run on five hits with three errors. Cascade Christian had no runs on three hits with

Community group issues island-wide health and fitness challenge By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
After more than two years of working to help islanders get healthy and stay well, Shape Up Vashon (SUV) is issuing an island-wide fitness and health challenge. Beginning no later than May 10, islanders of all ages are encouraged to participate for eight weeks in the President’s Challenge, a program of the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition that aims to help people increase their physical activity and improve their fitness. This is the fourth challenge SUV has sponsored and is the most ambitious one so far, said Dr. Kathleen Davis, who is one of SUV’s founding members. “Since they have been successful, we would like to move to this step — to challenge the whole island,� she said. The President’s Challenge is available online and includes activities for the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA), for people who want to make physical activity and healthy eating part of their lives, and the Presidential Champions challenge, for people who are already active but want to be more so. If participating in the PALA challenge, people will

BUS CUTS CONTINUED FROM 1
cuts coming in September of this year and more slated for February, June and September of 2015. On Vashon, according to Metro’s proposal, route 118, which runs between Tahlequah and the north-end ferry dock, and 119, which runs from Dockton to the north end, are both slated to lose one roundtrip in the morning and one roundtrip in the afternoon. Route 118 Express, which runs between Tahlequah and downtown Seattle via the ferry, will lose two of its runs during peak hours, dropping from two in the morning and evening to just one both times. Route 116 Express, which does not run on Vashon but travels between the Fauntleroy ferry dock and downtown Seattle and is often used by commuters, will drop from 10 runs during the morning commute time to eight. In the evening peak hours it will drop one trip, going from eight runs to seven. With the exception of route 118 Express, all of these routes are some of Metro’s least utilized runs. The C Line, the Rapid Ride Line between Westwood Village and downtown Seattle, had originally been slated for service cuts as well, but the route is unchanged under the county’s latest plan. Other areas of the county, however, will see more drastic bus service reductions, and on a much earlier time frame. Jeff Switzer, a spokesman for the county Department of Transportation, said many riders will find more crowded busses, will sometimes get passed by at their stops and will face longer trips. “Every rider is going to experience this a little bit differently,” he said.
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
Last week, County Executive Dow Constantine transmitted the proposed cuts to the King County Council, which is expected to act on the legislation by early June. Before the vote, which is required in order to implement the cuts, the council’s Transportation, Economy and Environment Committee will hold three public meetings around the region, in addition to its regular committee meetings. “The county has never seen transit cuts on this scale,” said committee chair Rod Dembowski in a Monday press release. “The public deserves an opportunity to learn how they may be personally impacted and to provide input to the council as we implement these reductions.” Carrie Avila-Mooney, an aide to Councilmember Joe McDermott, who represents Vashon, noted that while the council has the authority to make changes to the proposed cuts and revisions, doing so would be difficult because many of the changes are related in some way. “It is a very sensitive process,” she said. She noted that the council has already reached out to some 15,000 people about this issue and understands many of their challenges and concerns. McDermott, she added, has stressed that the council will continue to work to find better solutions for transportation funding in Olympia. State Sen. Sharon Nelson (D-Maury Island) said she also hopes that better solutions will be found there. “The solution is more transit, not less transit,” she said in a recent interview. Two years ago, Nelson said, the state House of Representatives passed a transportation package, but since then, the Senate Republicans have refused to bring a transportation package to the floor. If the Democrats take control of the Senate

again, she said, the chances of passing a transportation package will be greater. Many residents and drivers in King County will feel effects of the recent vote, she added, including elderly and disabled people who rely on busses to get where they need to go without the sometimes lengthy waits involved with Metro’s Access services. Drivers will feel the effects as well, she said, as more people will be on the roads. “It’s definitely going to cause more congestion,” she said. “Our (commutes) are already bad enough. … It will mean more cars cramming up the West Seattle bridge.” The need for transit funding goes far beyond King County, she added, as transit systems up and down the I-5 corridor have struggled financially ever since the recession hit. Prop. 1 would have also provided money for roads, which Nelson added is critical. “We have 70 bridges that desperately need funding,” she said. Indeed, King County Road Services
Director Brenda Bauer has said her agency will continue to focus its efforts on critical services and repair, but that roads will deteriorate more quickly than they would have with increased funding. Prop. 1, however, clearly did not appeal to most voters, except those in Seattle and very near to it. King County Elections records show that out of the county’s 17 legislative districts, the measure passed in only five of them. In the 34th district, which includes Vashon, Prop. 1 squeaked by with 50.68 percent of the vote. Shortly after the proposition’s defeat was announced, the Seattle group Friends of Transit announced an initiative to raise Seattle property taxes to pay for bus service within the city. At the county, Constantine said he welcomes their efforts, but said for now, the county must move ahead with service cuts. For detailed information about the planned service reductions and changes, see metro.kingcounty.gov.
Virginia May Victoria Rand Schwartz •
Long time Vashon resident Virginia May Victoria Rand Schwartz, died unexpectedly and peacefully on April 13, 2014 in Palm Springs, CA where she and her husband Paul J. Schwartz, Sr. have been Snowbirds for the past 28 years. Virginia was born in Klamath Falls, OR on June 26, 1923 to Joseph and Mable Rand. The family moved to Vashon Heights from West Seattle when Virginia was five years old. As a young girl she loved the Vashon beaches and the friends she made along the way. She attended Vashon Elementary School and Vashon High School where she graduated with honors in the class of 1941. On February 4, 1942 she married Paul J. Schwartz, Sr., her high school sweetheart. They raised a loving family with three children – Linda, Paul Jr. and Becky. Paul Jr. proceeded his mother in death at age 52 from Leukemia. Virginia is survived by her husband Paul Sr. of Vashon Island, her sister Barbara (Rand) Walls of Hilo, HI, and daughters Linda Schwartz of Los Angeles, CA and Becky Schwartz- Hallstrom of Dunedin, FL. She has five grandchildren, Erica Dodd, Ryan Brown, Sarah Smith, Gavin Brown and Gyasi Schwartz-Woods; and six great grandchildren, Kyla Dodd, Raymond Brown, Alexander Brown, Aster Smith, Galen Smith and Zoey Taylor Brown who will make her entrance this summer. Virginia’s life was focused on loving and caring for her family at home. Her first job outside the home (besides berry picking on her parent’s land as a youth), was a comptometer operator for Safeway in Seattle. Later she assisted her husband Paul in his business at the Island Insurance Center with administrative tasks. She also worked at Island Fabrics as a seamstress and at the Wall Flower in sales and flower design. Her many talents included playing trombone (in high school), gardening organic vegetables and fruits and tending her beautiful Asian landscaping, sewing everything imaginable, dancing with fellow Club 90 members, stamp collecting, card making and water color painting. Her favorite painting style was Japanese Sumi painting which she had studied extensively. She was raised in the Vashon Presbyterian Church and later she and her husband attended Bethel Church. Virginia was fond of saying,“I have outlived my expiration date!” She truly lived a long and fulfilling life and she will be greatly missed by her family, friends and neighbors. Friends and extended family are welcome to attend a graveside tribute for Virginia on May 10th at 2:00pm at the Vashon Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Virginia Schwartz to the Alzheimer’s Association www.alz.org Condolences can be made at www.islandfuneral.com •

involved in the business must pass a background check. If any chosen applicants are unable to fulfill the LCB’s requirements, Carpenter said, the next applicants in line will be considered. On Vashon, applications to set up shops at the former medical clinic in town and at Courthouse Square were submitted by off-island women who formed LLCs last year and who had originally applied for other locations but then changed their applications to list the Vashon addresses, according to LCB documents. Both women also applied for for shops at other locations in the state. Under state law, one company could operate more than one marijuana retail store in Washington. Lacey resident Catarina Rowley is listed as the primary applicant for a shop at Courthouse Square. Rowley, who is listed as the manager of the LLC Ayurveda Works, declined to comment to The Beachcomber. However, Tom Bangasser, who owns Courthouse Square, said Rowley and at least one other business partner are interested in renting the space at Courthouse Square that

until recently held the King County Sheriff’s Office substation. They are waiting to find out the results of the lottery, Bangasser said last week. The substation moved to the county’s new rural services center in Vashon Town in February. Bangasser said he has worked for about two years with one of the business partners, who rents a space he owns in Seattle’s Central District. He established a liquor store there after liquor sales in the state were privatized, Bangasser said. Bangasser described the man as an African immigrant who came to the United States to pursue business opportunities. He called him entrepreneurial — he also owns an apartment complex — and said he’s been a responsible tenant in Seattle. “My experience as his landlord in Seattle has been excellent,” he said. “He’s been successful where many of the other liquor store owners haven’t.” Ayurveda Works also submitted applications for marijuana retail stores in Seattle and Lacey. The primary applicant for a shop at the Vashon Family Practice building, Seattle resident Lindsay Buchan, did not return calls from The Beachcomber. According to public documents, Buchan is a member of the LLC Emerald

Botanicals and currently works as a hairdresser. Emerald Botanicals also applied to set up shops at locations in Seattle and Rockport, a town in Skagit County. In a short email to The Beachcomber, Sjardo Steneker, who owns the building, said he had been trying to sell the property for more than two years. “I would love to sell to someone who will enjoy it as much as I did,” he said. Steneker signed a letter of intent to purchase that is not a sale agreement but outlines the terms under which Emerald Botanicals would be willing to negotiate a purchase of the property. It lists a potential purchase price of $850,000 and reads that the building would be used for the sale of marijuana and marijuana products and the “rear of the space shall be used for a testing facility.” Currently an islander is renting the annex building on the north end of the property, a former dentist’s office, for use as a medical marijuana shop. Steneker didn’t say whether the sale of the property would displace that business. Last summer, a spokesman for the Liquor Control Board suggested that the state may make an effort to assure there’s a recreational marijuana shop on Vashon in order to discourage illegal marijuana sales on the island. At the time he stated that if no one applies to set up a shop on Vashon, the state may assign someone who applied for a shop in another area to set up shop on the island. Since then, however, LCB spokespeople have said the state won’t make any extra effort to see a store on Vashon. Last week Carpenter, with the LCB, noted that other cities and counties throughout the state have banned marijuana business, meaning illegal sales could be more of a possibility in those places as well. The LCB plans to begin issuing retail marijuana licenses by the first week in July and expects the first legal sales to be in July as well. The first licenses will be issued in the most populated areas.

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption Born in 2004, Mimsy was rescued when she was a few years old. She showed up matted and sad and pregnant. Her new person took her in and got her well and Mimsy had four kittens in 2007. After the kittens were weaned Mimsy was spayed. Mimsy’s person kept the runt of the litter, Pudge, who has been with Mimsy his whole life. Mimsy is the perfect cat who keeps herself impeccably groomed, doesn’t scratch furniture and always hits the litter box. She loves laps and gives kitty kisses. She is not fond of dogs and she has no experience with young children.
Jet is a 3 year old male cat with a sweet face and strong body. He is very affectionate and playful. He would be happy to sit in a lap all day or to follow his person from room to room. He also loves to play and can be pretty feisty when he gets excited. He would do best in a home where he can be the only cat. Jet originally joined VIPP in 2012.
Dear VIPP, I just wanted to let you know that Ray is doing really well settling into his new home! He was absolutely a dream to introduce to our existing cat - The same unswerving calm has made Ray an excellent match for our household with a 5 month old baby. The past week was a grumpy baby sort of week what with the coming of the second tooth, but Ray seemed serenely unruffled and not bothered at all by the screaming and fussing.
Ray
He’s just such a sweet, patient cat, and we’re so happy to have him draped over our laps. We’ve given him a full name of Horatio, so he can keep his nickname but have a more formal name to use when we express our admiration of what a handsome, dignified cat he is. Thanks so much for a really great addition to our household!
Jenny
