Islander with stage four cancer will walk a famous trek in Spain
Pool’s future still unclear as agencies disagree
By NATALIE MARTIN

Last week, islander Phil Volker chatted and laughed with a visitor as he walked a wellworn trail at his home on Wax Orchard Road. With a hiking pole in each hand, the 66-yearold navigated pastures, the forest and hills with a pace that one wouldn’t expect from a man undergoing chemotherapy. Earlier this month, Volker completed 909 laps on the trail, effectively walking the distance of El Camino de Santiago, a famous Christian pilgrimage in Spain. If his doctors give the final approval, this summer Volker will go from backyard pilgrim to actual pilgrim when he flies to Spain to set off on the popular trek. “I wanted to experience it … but if I don’t get to go, I’m going to be happy with what I got here,” Volker said. “It’s more than I thought I could do.” Volker’s journey began three years ago when he was diagnosed with colon cancer, something he now calls the first “C” in his life.
At the Vashon Pool, everything is set for the summer season — the water’s pH is perfect; the boiler is running well, and the staff is ready to start work. Just weeks away from opening day, however, it is still not clear when and if the pool will open this summer, as officials at the school and park districts are continuing to work toward an agreement that will address the pool’s drainage needs. “There has been a lot of energy spent getting this ready,” Scott Bonney, the pool’s manager, said last week. “We are very hopeful there will be an agreement.” Over the course of the spring, the two districts have disagreed on who is legally responsible for drainage problems created at the pool during construction of the new high school last fall, and so far they have not been able to agree on a financial plan to pay for a fix. Last week the school board approved a proposal that would require the park district to pay half of the expected $40,000 for a potential solution approved by the Department of Ecology. The school’s plan also calls for the park district to assume all the financial responsibility for testing and other measures that are part of the fix and for the expenses related to hauling waste water from the pool — a process park district officials say was necessary to prepare the pool for the swimming season. Members of the park board were expected to meet Tuesday — after The Beachcomber’s press deadline — to discuss the issue. Scheduled for that day were a conversation with its insurance company on legal matters, an executive session and the board’s regularly scheduled public meeting. Additional meetings for both boards are possible later in the week, depending on Tuesday’s outcome. Some of those close to the situation say they hope that by the end of the week, a proposal will emerge that the two agencies will be to agree on and that will allow work to move ahead so the
Backyard pilgrim plans trip of a lifetime

Phil Volker has walked about 500 miles, the length of El Camino de Santiago, on a trail on his property. The diagnosis led him to the second “C,” the Catholic church, or more specifically the St. John Vianney church. At the local parish, Volker, a longtime islander who owns a construction com-
pany and is a veteran involved with the American Legion, says he’s found meaning, support and friendship as he battles cancer. “Having a life-threatening obstacle, it straightens your pri-
orities out,” he said. Though El Camino de Santiago is popular in the Catholic church, it was actually through a movie SEE TRIP, 19
REMEMBERING THE FALLEN At Monday’s Memorial Day ceremony at the Vashon Cemetery, a large group of islanders gathered to honor and remember military men and women who lost their lives serving the country. Chris Gaynor, a longtime member of the American Legion, said Monday’s event was one of the nicest ceremonies he has attended on Vashon. “The sun was shining; we had a good crowd in the right spirit, and Phil Volker (the American Legion commander) did a great job of including everybody,” he said. The weekend before the ceremony, the Boy Scouts, the American Legion and Lisa Devereux of the cemetery put a flag on every veteran’s grave, totaling some 500 flags. “This is an opportunity to recognize the fact that out of such a small population, we have an unusually large history of military service and sacrifice by the members of the Vashon community going back to World War I,” Gaynor said.

New restaurant opens, bakery gets makeover Natural health clinic moves to new office By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
With the opening of Rachael’s at Sound Food, islanders will soon have a new option for breakfast and lunch. The cafe — now serving coffee and pastries — opened quietly last week. Owner Rachael Gordon says she plans to add a full menu featuring local food next month. The combination will allow commuters to come in and grab something quickly and go, and also allow for leisurely eating — a place for islanders simply to come and be, Gordon said. As for what she will serve, Gordon calls it nostalgic American cuisine. “It will be down-home, fill-your-gut comfort food,” she said. On the breakfast menu, she said, will be items such as smoked brisket hash on top of sweet potatoes and carmelized onions with chimmichurri (Argentinian pesto) and a poached egg on top. For lunch, diners can expect entrees such as a Cuban sandwich on housemade bread. She noted that she will brine the ham and smoke the meat she serves in-house. She will also

Soon she will begin offering a full menu for breakfast and lunch. serve food that will work well for those with special diets, including gluten-free fare and vegetarian choices. Once the full menu is ready, Gordon will offer about eight pastries a day, both sweet and savory, she said. Indeed, last week, amidst the cupcakes, cookies and muffins was focaccia topped with smoked beef and white cheddar cheese. Focaccia will be a staple, she said, and change daily. All the food Gordon offers will be as local as possible, she stressed, starting with food grown and raised on Vashon and moving out from there, noting that the meat will come from no farther away than
Oregon. Gordon, trained in France as a butcher and at the Seattle Culinary Academy, worked most recently at The Hardware Store Restaurant, where she was the lead breakfast cook for the past four months. The idea of having her own business, though, is not new. “I have been thinking of doing something like this for a long time,” she said. In an unusual arrangement, she is renting the space at Sound Food half-time, sharing it with chef Brandon D’Imperio. D’Imperio had previously partnered with Meat & Noodle, but now hopes to offer a dinner restaurant and possibly other din-

ing opportunities there this summer. “It’s allowed me to open a restaurant without going $200,000 into debt,” Gordon said. She will be closed Monday and open from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. “I’m stoked,” she said. “I am ready for it to start chugging away and have it be part of my regular life.” Plenty of baked goods are available in the heart of Vashon town, too, with last week’s re-opening of the former Bob’s Bakery as the Vashon Island Baking Company. Owners Samantha and Stephen Weigand provided a facelift to the longtime bakery over the past two months, painting the interior, putting in new flooring and adding lighting. “I want the environment to match the quality of the food we’re serving here,” Samantha said. The bakery has an espresso machine now, on loan from the Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie, and is serving tea from the roasterie as well. Each day, Weigand said, she will offer 25 to 30 food choices, including gluten-free items and savory fare, such as quiche and the popular Bob’s Burgers. “We’re a new name and a new look,” she said. “But it’s the same tradition that Bob started: good food and community.”

After a decade located in an old farmhouse south of town, Vashon Natural Medicine is moving to the former veterinary clinic of Larry Glickstein, who retired last year. Naturopathic physician Kelly Wright purchased the building at the end of April and will open there on Monday, June 2. The clinic will be open at its current location through the end of this week. The move will prove beneficial in many ways, Wright noted, crediting Glickstein with making her purchase of the building possible. “I never could have done it without Larry,” she said. Among the benefits, Wright said, is that owning the building will reduce her overhead substantially. A significant percentage of her patients have Medicaid insurance benefits, which reimburse providers at low rates. She wants to continue to serve all people who need care, she said, and the reduction of her overhead will make that possible. “Being in this location will make that sustainable,” she said. Among the other benefits she pointed out on a tour of the new facility is that it is fully wheelchair
Dr. Kelly Wright accessible. The building was once a home but housed the vet clinic for many years and was in need of renovating and new landscaping. Her father, Chip Wright, has been managing that process, she said, and when that is done, she believes the building will serve the clinic’s needs well, including those of the providers who also practice there — an additional naturopath, a massage therapist, an acupuncturist and a mental health counselor. Wright is also planning to add a nutritionist, a medical doctor and another massage practitioner in the near future. This opportunity came at a good time, Wright noted, as her current lease is up at the end of May. “It was perfect timing,” she said.

Growing old: Local writer says it’s the best part of life Author of book on aging will speak as part of the Telling Stories series By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
In a culture that places a high value on youth, islander and author Wendy Lustbader says that contrary to that notion, by almost every measure, life improves as people age. Lustbader, the author of several books, including “Life Gets Better: The Unexpected Pleasures of Growing Older,” will speak at Vashon Community Care’s Telling Stories series on Sunday. She will talk about her work in the field of aging as well as lead a conversation about what islanders would like to see on Vashon to ensure that aging here is fulfilling and meaningful. A popular speaker at conferences in the United States and Canada, Lustbader worked for almost 20 years as social worker at Pike Market Medical Clinic in Seattle. She is now an affiliate associate professor at the University of Washington School of Social Work and continues to write, including on Vashon, where she intentionally maintains a low profile. Lustbader calls the worship of youth a “colossal error,” and says that her work and extensive research into growing older show a different truth. “Ask anybody,” she said in a recent interview. “It is a very rare person that those (early adult) years were the best years of life.” Stressing that she does not have a Pollyanna view of aging, she acknowledged that growing older has significant challenges; the physical body declines, children leave; there might be economic challenges, and there is grief and loss. But there is also much more to the story, she said. “Knowing who you are as a person, feeling less of a need to keep comparing yourself with others, starting to know what your worth is … it gets stronger inside of us as we go through hard times,” she said.
In their 20s, she says, people grapple with issues of identity, purpose, relationships and figuring out the big questions of how to put together a good life. “As we get older, we live the answers to those questions,” she said. The information she has to share is not just for elders, she says, but for people in their 20s and 30s who want to know what it really means to grow old and for people in their middle-age Wendy Lustbader years who might like to see that time as part of a “grand progression,” rather than a time of dwindling. As for Vashon and seniors, Lustbader says the island poses significant challenges and the community should address them. “A lot of work needs to be done to make it work better for people to grow old here,” she said. Transportation is one of those challenges, she said. Also significant is that people often come to Vashon for the privacy, and the space between neighbors can be large. While that might be an asset at some ages, it can prove difficult for elders. This is true for her, she said, speaking personally. At age 60 and as a writer, she values her privacy, but expects that could change. “If I have to outlive my husband, that is going to be kind of scary,” she said. Linda Milovsoroff, the director of development at VCC and the coordinator of the Telling Stories series, said VCC hopes to be a central part of that conversation and will want to continue it after the presentation. It is an impor-

tant one to have here, she noted, given the demographics of the island. “Vashon has a higher percentage of people 55 and older than anywhere else in King County,” she said. Milovsoroff added that when she first began at VCC several years ago, she kept hearing about Lustbader as an excellent speaker in the field of aging, but learned that she kept a low profile on Vashon. Milovsoroff added that she has read and appreciated some of Lustbader’s books because they include the perspective not just of the caregiver, but also the elders’ point of view and what it feels like to age. “I was so honored she came out of hiding,” Milovsoroff said. “The talk will give people hope about later life.” Lustbader is familiar with the work of VCC in part because her husband, Dr. Gary Grosskopf, serves on its board, and she has strong feelings about the need to support the agency. All of the proceeds from her talk will go to the center. “I love our care center. I love that we have one,” she said. “And I love that it accepts people regardless of their ability to pay.” VCC’s job would be much easier if it accepted only private pay patients, Lustbader said, but its mission is to serve all people. “That is why I am so committed to them, and that is why the whole island needs to be committed to them,” she said.

There are BPA-free sealants. Although the levels of BPA in traditional sealants are very low and considered safe by the FDA, concern has caused sealant manufacturers to develop BPA free sealants. Sealants continue to be an important preventive strategy against dental decay, but we have heard many patients refuse them due to their concerns with BPA. If you are concerned about the BPA in sealants, just ask for BPA free sealants. Many dental offices use BPA free sealants as a standard and most will be happy to order some if you request them.

EDITORIAL
Embracing tourism helps our island thrive
Readers can contribute to our pages each week
When you bring up the word “tourist” to an islander, you learn a lot about them by how they react to that word. Some people get angry — they fear tourists and the effect they have on the island, going as so far as to sport bumper stickers that call for the outlaw of tourism on Vashon. Others, still fearful of tourists, are a little more pragmatic and welcome tourist dollars for local business but want them gone once they’ve spent their money. Then there are those who are welcoming and work to cultivate relationships with tourists. They consider them a vital part of island life and don’t consider them “tourists” in the negative sense. To these people, tourists are hikers, coffee aficionados, foodies, beach-goers, wine connoisseurs, art collectors, gardeners, shoppers, quilters, music lovers, cyclists, kayakers and customers. Many of Vashon’s most loved businesses depend on the careful cultivation of these relationships. While we are not a totally tourismdependent economy, the support that visitors bring to Vashon businesses is significant. Sales to off-islanders can range from 25 to 65 percent of a business’s gross income. It can mean the difference between staying in business and closing shop. All islanders, despite their attitude toward tourists, benefit when talented shopkeepers, chefs, artists, bakers, distillers, vintners, coffee roasters, bed and breakfast owners, gallery owners, tattoo artists, farmers, soap makers, brewers, dog treat makers and florists are able to make a decent living here. We get the pleasure of their company, but also get to enjoy the quality of their talents and shop with them year-round. Vashon has a higher quality
What do you do when you want your thoughts made known? If you’re like many people today, you grab your computer or smartphone. Posting on social media means your friends and connections see your thoughts soon and can respond. This year marked the 10th anniversary of Facebook, an internet phenomenon that has vastly altered how we communicate and who we communicate with. There’s no doubt islanders have embraced the tech age. But numbers show they also still value their weekly paper — subscriptions and advertising have stayed steady at The Beachcomber while at other papers they’ve declined. We want to remind readers that the pages of The Beachcomber, as well as our website, are open to everyone and are just as, if not more effective as Facebook or Twitter at putting what you have to say on display. The letters to the editor section is meant to be a community forum. Many people don’t realize that The Beachcomber runs nearly every letter we get. This is partly because we don’t get so many letters that we have to pick and choose, but partly because we want the letters section to be open to everyone and all ideas. We prefer letters on Vashon-specific topics or Beachcomber articles, and often opt to run those first, but we don’t require it. The letters section is a peek at community sentiment, a snapshot in time of what islanders are thinking and talking about. While online posts are forgotten in a few days, a letter to the editor is put in print for thousands of readers to see and goes down in history in our town’s news records. A writer gets the final word, so to speak, on a topic — that is, until someone responds the next week. We only ask that letter writers follow a few simple guidelines, and every now and then we take time to remind you of them. Letters should be 300 words or less and signed by a person — they can’t be anonymous. We ask that writers be civil and accurate. Finally, the letters section isn’t a place to put personal disagreements in ink, and attacks on individuals won’t be published. Letters to the editor open readers to new points of view, can sway public opinion and could even influence what the newspaper covers. The Beachcomber has traditionally had a thriving letters section where islanders weigh in with vigor, skilled rhetoric and often entertaining prose. This is especially true when there’s a topic of controversy in our pages — be it marijuana at K2 or whether cats should be kept inside. But don’t wait until that time that everyone is writing in. When you feel moved, grab your computer and send an email to editor@vashonbeachcomber.com. We want to give you a platform to share your thoughts with your physical community, not just your virtual one.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Garden
Project now has an uncertain future It’s been almost three years since Eden Reframed, an ecological and community art project, opened at the Burton Adventure Recreation Center (“Eco-art will tell stories of farmers and gardeners,” Oct. 5, 2010). In that time, we’ve had lovely events to celebrate the changing of the seasons on the equinoxes and
solstices, and people have joined me at weeding and work parties. Many others have gleaned the harvest of the “food forest” that includes culinary and medicinal herbs, kale, berries and other edibles. A part of the garden demonstrates the remediation of soil through plants and mushrooms and hopes to inspire visitors with the possibility of restoring the damage that shortsightedness and greed have done to our planet.

Wednesday, May 28, 2014 • Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber
In the center of the garden is a story “hive” where the stories of gardeners and farmers are written down and available to read. They were asked the question: “What inspires you to plant seeds in this time of ecological crisis?” The garden is a lovely place to meditate and read, picnic, contribute your own story to the archive, play music and meet with friends. But a real challenge faces Eden Reframed. Despite the over $40K funds spent on this permaculturedesigned project, the future of Eden Reframed looks uncertain. Unless local stakeholders can make the time to help with maintaining the project, mostly pulling out grass and fence repair, this garden will become a pleasant memory. So I am making a last ditch effort to recruit folks who want this sweet piece of liberated public land to sustain itself. Please come to the garden on June 21 (our summer solstice celebration) from noon to 3 p.m. to share conversation about how this project can thrive for many years to come. Bring your gardening gloves and some snacks, and we will celebrate the summer’s arrival together. — Beverly Naidus

NORTH PASSAGES
ens I would keep, for sure: add some herbs, some garlic, a splash of stock, some of the wine from those grapes, a plump braised chicken? Yum. It was at this point that the woman lately known as my wife decided that she, too, wanted to raise chickens. I must admit that this was a modest improvement because, shortly after the last sheepdog trials up at Misty Island Farms, my wife decided she must have sheep. She believed this to be a genetic imperative, her being British and all. I reminded her that the house in which we now live, which was renovated for a handicapped person in a wheelchair, has no grass. It is surrounded by asphalt. So now it was chickens. “We could build a coop!” she said. I wondered at the we part of this notion, since I have absolutely no building skills. Nor, as a Londoner, does she.
Let me be clear: The chicken people (is that the right term?) I met were lovely folks. They and their birds seemed in perfect harmony. Pastoral heaven. But then there was the economics. On this island, you cannot have “free range” chickens because to eagles, hawks raccoons, and any number of other vicious varmints, including dogs, “free range” means “free food!” So, as I learned from the coop tour, you need to build not just a coop, but also high fences and even a wire mesh roof to ward off the predators. I’m not too swift in the math department, but my “back of the envelope” calculation is that it costs just under a zillion dollars to protect a small flock of dim-as-apost chickens. That’s one hell of a lot of eggs. — Will North is an island author with no farming skills. He does have a new novel, a murder mystery set in Britain, which will be released in June.

Childrens’ Home in Nepal My goal to build a childrens’ home in Nepal and support the children with safe shelter, food, health care and educational resources has been responded to in so many wonderful ways; this was clearly in evidence a few Saturdays ago at our fundraiser. The sale would not have been possible without the generous donation of the use of the building from Shawn Hoffman. He has demonstrated time and again he values our community. IGA’s Ronelle loaned us sandwich boards, blew up helium balloons and cheered us on (she runs a great produce department there). Thank you Craig and Mike from Rotary for getting the space ready for us. We were joined by vendors who only added to the rewarding time we had; they offered beautiful, quirky, crafty, vintage, collectible and health and home environmentally responsible products and items. We could not have had our sale without donated items from many supportive islanders including Rachel Bard, The Unitarian Fellowship, Laura Goth, Beth Bordner, Judy Balis, Susan Garlic, Frances Hogan, Beth Holmes, Mitch Treese, Julie Gaspers, Faith Addicott, and my “Nana” and parents. Thank you Arlene Shade and Louella Lodahl for the gift of your time. I was moved by all the islanders who wanted to learn more about my project, donate money, buy our items and offer encouragement. As my capital campaign continues I will be looking for ways to share my Nepal passion and partner with other individuals, businesses
and organizations. In fact, look for our line of note-cards decorated with drawings by children in the orphanage I worked in in Nepal (ready in time for Mother’s Day)! Namaste, Josh Bingham
The Food Bank says ,“thanks” The Vashon-Maury Community Food Bank would like to extend several huge THANK-YOUs to everyone who participated in the Letter Carriers’ Food Drive, on Saturday, May 10th. Thank you, first of all, to all the Vashon-Maury residents who left bags of food by their mailboxes. We’ve collected nearly 5,500lbs already and donations are still trickling into the Post Office. That means we beat last year’s collection by almost 300lbs! Thank you, also, to the volunteers who hung fliers around town, drove the box truck, drove mail routes to collect donations, loaded the food bank truck at the Post Office, and helped unload the truck at the Food Bank. We would be nothing without our Volunteers! We also received an outpouring of generosity from The Beachcomber, Voice of Vashon, Vashon Events, The Methodist Church and all the local businesses that let us hang fliers for promoting the event. Thank you, so much, for all the help! Finally, the entire drive exists only because the Vashon Post Office and our Letter Carriers choose to ad tons of work to their already busy day in order to collect donations. Keeping our shelves stocked means that Vashon families in need will have a consistent supply of nutritious food throughout the summer months. Thank you Vashon!

Structural engineer Art Rack (pictured above) and Voice of Vashon vice president Rick Wallace recently climbed the 80-foot high Water District 19 tank to survey the top for installing the antenna for Vashon’s own community FM radio station, KVSH. Two weeks into VoV’s Raise the Tower fundraising campaign, pledges and donations have reached $25,000, the halfway mark of the $50,000 necessary to build the antenna and install other equipment to operate the station. A big boost came from Janet McAlpin and David Godsey of The Open Space for Arts & Community, who offered a $5,000 matching pledge, effectively doubling individual donations up to $5,000. Research and development is now underway to prepare for the station to go on the air later this year.

WHAT’S HAPPENING COLLECTORS ART SALE
Opportunity to buy art from a collector Vashon Allied Arts will hold a unique art sale this weekend, offering works from the private collections of passionate art collectors who live both on and off the island. Billed as the Collector’s Choice Art Sale, this event will feature paintings, prints, photographs, posters, textiles, sculpture and pottery. The sale will include a range of artwork with varying prices, all generously donated by the collectors. Work by several beloved but now deceased island artists will be available, including art by Jakk Corsaw, Fred Eernisse, Gene Admonson and Joe Petta. Among other popular artists represented in the sale are Pam Ingalls and Carole Meriam. There will be five paintings by Pam Ingalls from one collector. The sale will kick-off on Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. for VAA members only. Those who are not members can join at the door. For the general public, doors will open on Saturday from 10 to 4 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 to 4 p.m. TWO RENOWN SPEAKERS
Enjoy music and entertainment at a fundraiser Best-selling author David James Duncan and storyteller, mythologist and author Michael Meade will be the guest speakers at a fundraiser for former islander Andy Royer, from 5 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 31 at All Pilgrims Church in Seattle. Duncan is the author of “The River Why” and the “Brothers K.” He is a renown fly fisherman and practitioner of what he calls direct, small-scale compassion-activism. Island author Meade founded the Mosaic Multicultural Foundation. His most recent book is “Why the World Doesn’t End.” The fundraiser includes music by Sarah Christine, a Vashon-based musician who blends folk, soul and reggae. Offerings in the auction include paintings and photographs from professional local artists, fly-fishing gear, vacation packages, restaurant, massage and body-work certificates, wine, gift baskets and more. Tickets are $20 at the door. Royer, who raised his 17 year-old daughter on Vashon, was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer last November. His medical bills after insurance run up to $10,000 a month.

VHS delivers 80s nostalgia with ‘Xanadu’ THEATER REVIEW By SUSAN McCABE For The Beachcomber
“Xanadu,” a musical continuing this weekend at the new high school theater, is a step back in time two decades to roller skates, leg warmers and headbands (does anyone hear Richard Simmons in the background?). With this final production of Vashon High School’s first season in the new theatre, teacher and director Stephen Floyd has introduced a new crop of student performers we’ll all be watching for the next few years. Drawing primarily on a cast of young and newly minted theatre students, Floyd and former VHS principal Susan Hanson provide a delightful evening of memorable music, flashy visuals and tongue-in-cheek satire. Parents and other “elders” will sing along with musical hits made famous by the 1980 film starring Olivia Newton-John, Michael Beck and Gene Kelly. While the film was a critical flop, its musical score by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar, featuring the Electric Light Orchestra, spawned a longrunning Broadway hit of the same name. “Xanadu” follows the journey of magical and beautiful Greek muse Kira, played by Olivia Mangione, who descends from the heavens of Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, California. She’s on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Quinn McTighe as Sonny Malone, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time — the first roller disco. Mangione as Kira camps and vamps her way into Malone’s heart and leads him to a successful partnership with the hard-bitten entertainment tycoon Danny McGuire, played by Max Luposzynski. The plot thickens when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny and her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation, thus dooming Kira to eternal damnation from their father god Zeus. As serious as that sounds, there’s nothing serious about Xanadu the musical. It’s all about following your dreams despite limitations, and, as Zeus says in the play’s final scene, “The greatest achievement of human life and culture is to love someone and create art.” With instrumental support from pianist Maggie Laird, the VHS cast puts its own stamp on the musical score from the ethereal “Magic,” the romantic duet “Suddenly” and the passionate finale of “Xanadu.” Maya

High School thespians will perform on roller skates for the 1980s musical “Xanadu.” Krah and Hannah Fellbaum mix ominous plot twists with comedy in their duet version of “Evil Woman.” Fellbaum reveals her comic skills throughout the play with hilarious facial contortions and satiric asides. And freshman Isaac Hughes — a veteran Drama Dock performer — teams up with Luposzynski in an imaginatively staged version of “Dancin’” where Luposzynski’s strong voice provides the musical accompaniment for Hughes’ newly acquired tap dancing skills. This “Xanadu” is a production built from the back out, starting with Craig Hanson’s simply effective set design that takes the story from a California beach to Mt. Olympus with a few skillfully selected set pieces, slides and a lighting assist from lighting designer Tanner Montague. Sue Griffith’s costuming is a star in this production, with more quick changes than the weather during a spring day on Vashon. And freshman stage manager Hazee Montgomery earned high praise from Floyd for her first effort at organizing a musical. Opening night did expose a few kinks in the new theater’s sound system, making the vocals tough to hear on occasion, a problem likely to be corrected in subsequent performances.
It’s worth noting some comments from Floyd in his director’s notes marking the fact that Xanadu is an all-volunteer production by students and faculty who created the show completely outside the school curriculum. Why? Unlike previous years, this school year had no room in the new semester schedule for a musical theater class. Semesters, it seems, reduce students’ opportunities to take elective courses, forcing them to cut demanding theater classes in favor of advanced placement and foreign language classes required for college. Hence, Xanadu is a labor of love and obvious joy from these buoyant young thespians and their adult mentors. — Susan McCabe is an island writer and Voice of Vashon’s station manager.
“Xanadu” will play at the VHS theater at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday. Evening performances are $15 general admission and $12 for students and seniors. Tickets can be purchased at the VHS office, the Vashon Bookshop and at the door.
History talk will reveal little-known stories about local roads Islander Kathy Flynn de Gaxiola has some surprising stories to tell about the history of Vashon’s roads, and she plans to share them at a special presentation next week. “The Roads of Vashon,” an event put on by Let’s Go Vashon! will be from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 4, at the Havurat Ee Shalom. Flynn de Gaxiola comes from an island family whose Vashon roots started to grow in the 1940s. The family was instrumental in the formation of the island by building roads to connect isolated beach-front communities and those cut off by the island’s numerous hills. Her family participated in the King County Address and Renaming Project, while Flynn de Gaxiola became a member of the Citizen Advisory Board for Dockton Road at Tramp Harbor. Flynn de Gaxiola is a published author and lifelong amateur island historian. Her passion and fascination with the roads of Vashon led her to uncover the history behind many island roads. Vashon Highway, for
instance, was the first professional job of Henry Kaiser, who later started Kaiser Aluminum. Luana Beach Road’s bright past unearths a dynamite factory. The twisting curves of wooded Dugway Road near the old VFW Hall has the honor of being the first road on Vashon. And at the southern tip of Manzanita Beach Road, the Suquamish tribe founded a summer settlement called Tsugwallat. Later the area at the road’s end was called Little Hong Kong because of the Chinese immigrants who lived there. During her hour-long talk, Flynn de Gaxiola will share these and other stories she has collected over the years, disclosing many forgotten but sure to be captivating stories of Vashon’s roads. She will also take questions about other island roads. Seating for the talk is limited, so advance ticket purchase is advised. Advanced tickets are $12 until May 31, then $15 after June 1. Tickets are available at www.eventbrite.com.

Hip-hop band will share the stage next Sharing the Stage will kick off the eighth show in the series on Friday, when four student groups will open a concert by Brothers From Another (BFA), a Seattle hiphop group. BFA is a young band with plenty of success to its name and a lot of exposure throughout the Northwest. They have played Sasquatch, The Crocodile Café and other top venues. “I have no doubt that Vashon is going to enjoy their music and their energy,” said Harris Levinson, one of the series producers. According to Fred Strong, another producer, Sharing the Stage has been an event for all ages, and up until this year, one that showcases high school students as the opening acts for the headline band. For the first time in the series, the concert will showcase a middle-school act. The young band, Daisy Chain, features Sarah Hotchkiss, Maijah Sanson-Frey and Whitney Silkett. Other openers for the show include Cameron Sonju on guitar, Nathaniel Parrott on keyboards and electronics and rapper Donald Evans III. Sonju and Evans are both series veterans who opened for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis in 2011, and Evans returns to the stage as an alumnus. Levinson said the audience can expect to hear original music from all of the musicians. “From our very first shows, our professional mentors have always encouraged the student musicians ... to put their own voice out there. Ian Moore gave that message. ... Covers are great, (but) original songs really deepen the experience.” Rob Bordner, the third co-producer, said the audience should watch for a collaboration in which some of the student openers take the stage together. The collaborations emerged during the rehearsal process, which is built into the Sharing the Stage program. Students are selected

VHS celebrates another award, buries time capsule at dedication ceremony Last week students, staff and community members gathered at Vashon High School, where final touches and landscaping are now completed, to dedicate the new building. At the Friday dedication ceremony, which was also attended by State Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon and King County Councilmember Joe McDermott, district officials announced that the new school has already gained some impressive recognition. The project was named a finalist for the 2014 James D. MacConnell Award, a prestigious international award for facilities planning given by the Council of Educational Facility Planners International. Islander Brian Carter (pictured at left), a principal of Integrus Artchitecture, which designed the building, said the award recognizes not only school design but community engagement in the planning process. He told the crowd at the ceremony that the new school, designed through extensive public outreach, truly reflects the goals and values of the school and island community. Also at the ceremony, high school students buried a time capsule to be opened in 40 years. Included in the time capsule, pictured at right being dropped in the ground by Evan Anderson and Winter Krimmert, is an iPhone, some Riptide articles of note, Seahawks memorabilia, a Green Tide T-shirt and letters from the class of 2014.

POOL CONTINUED FROM 1
pool can open as scheduled. “The June 15 deadline will be hard to hit if we don’t get going soon,” said Superintendent Michael Soltman on Monday, referencing the date the park district has been planning to open the pool. It is unclear, however, what the process will be if an agreement is not reached quickly, and it is not clear if there is room for compromise. The school board made its position on the pool known last week, school board member Laura Wishik said. Should the park district make an offer that differs from that, she said she could not predict how the school board would vote. “If they are willing to do something that costs us more money, I really don’t know,” she said. In the days since the school district’s vote, Lu-Ann Branch, who is the chair of the park board, said she has been continuing conversations with the park district’s insurance company about legal responsibilities in the matter. She has also been furthering her understanding of what the proposed fix would require and keeping her fellow commissioners apprised of developments. “We are trying to operate in good faith to move things forward,” she said. Since the drainage problem was discovered earlier this spring, school district officials have urged the park district to forego insurance companies and lawyers and work together directly to find a solution. Most members of the park board, how-

Despite the seemingly polarized careful to not pay expenses that the school positions of both parties, Branch said she expected the park district’s insurance team district legally should cover. “I would hope that we could come up to present unbiased information. “If the park district is with a solution that won’t responsible in some way, be second guessed later “I would hope that we could I want to know,” she said. on about why did you come up with a solution Had park district cave on your fiduciary Executive Director that won’t be second responsibility,” she said.

the board needed to fully understand the issues involved and their related costs. She also wondered if another fix might be more expensive in the short-term but less expensive and labor-intensive in the long term, an issue she wanted the park board to explore. However, Bob Hennessey, at the school district, said that he believes any other solution that involves construction would mean the pool would not be ready in time to open for the summer. While the park and school board members grapple with both legal and practical issues at the pool, Bonney made clear that the stakes are very high. As the largest summer employer on Vashon, the pool has already hired staff, some of whom gave up college internships to work there, he sad. He is signing kids up for swimming lessons and has taken full payment from swim teams that practice there in the summer. He also plans to offer an aqua aerobics class for seniors sponsored by the Arthritis Foundation. And, of course, there are the countless kids who head to the pool on summer afternoons. Looking ahead, he said he is still planning for opening day on June 14, which is a Saturday and the day before the park district’s target date. In years past, he said, opening day has drawn 300 kids for free swimming, music, games and more. Despite the turmoil surrounding the pool, he has scheduled all those festivities for this year as well and is looking forward to seeing the pool come to life on its first day of the season. “We like to kick it off with that type of positive experience for everyone in the community,” he said.

Lacrosse team keeps on winning, Track athletes head to State will compete in State semi-finals By MADDIE GROEN For The Beachcomber
The Vashon boy’s high school lacrosse team staged a tremendous come-from-behind victory in front of a large and boisterous home crowd on Saturday to advance to the semi-finals in the state tournament. Down 6-1 after the first quarter against Camas High School, Vashon managed to pull to within two goals by the end of the first half of play. In the third quarter, Vashon’s defense continued to assert itself and held Camas to only one goal, while the Vultures’ offense scored three more goals, leaving the teams tied after three quarters. In the fourth quarter, Vashon’s defense continued to be stingy, allowing only one goal despite being “man down” three separate times. Four fourthquarter goals by Vashon completed the comeback, with the Vultures winning 12-9. Vashon Stadium, or the Vulture-dome as lacrosse fans affectionately call it, erupted in celebration at the end of the game. Vashon fans have waited a decade to enjoy a playoff game victory at home. Coach Daniel Macca praised his team’s courage. “Our boys faced adversity and met the challenge. They never stopped competing, and once we found some confidence, our play improved” Macca said the players were a bit shaken after the tough first quarter, but he tried to calm them down. “None of these boys has

I tried to keep it light and shared my experiences of playoff games and comebacks to rebuild their belief,” he said. “They believed, and they proved that they deserve to be in the semi-final game.” Vashon’s scoring was led by Winter Krimmert (3 goals, 1 assist, 10 ground balls), Griff Jennings (3 goals, 1 assist, 2 ground balls), Ezra Ende (2
goals, 2 ground balls) and Evan Anderson (2 goals, 2 ground balls). Nathan Jones and Roan O’Neil each had a goal while Elliot Carleton had two assists. Goalie Marquis Stendahl, played a strong game, making 15 saves on 24 shots. Vashon will face Seattle Academy tonight in the semifinals, attempting a historic run to the finals. The game will begin at 7 p.m. at the Vashon stadium.
For many high school track athletes, last week’s district meets marked the end of a competitive season. While this proves accurate for some of the Vashon track team, a remarkable three out of nine athletes who competed at Districts will move on to represent the Pirates at the State competition. Senior Garrett Starr had a breakthrough performance in the triple jump last Thursday at the Tri-District meet. After a season of coming up short in the long jump, he was counting on his talent in the triple jump to land him a spot at State. Before districts, Starr had been fairly consistent in his triple jumps, marking at about 39 to 40 feet all season. On Thursday, however, he managed to break through that barrier with a jump of 41 feet, 11 inches, a personal best by almost a foot. Starr took second to Port Townsend’s Skyler Coppenrath, Starr’s friend and fellow football player who jumped 42 feet, 3 inches to take the TriDistrict title. Sophomore Annika Hille competed in the most events for the Pirates at Districts this year, as she qualified in all four of her regular events. Hille took on the 4-by100-meter relay with teammates Emily Browne, Annie Muller, Kat Andrus and alternate Lauren Jenks. Although the relay team came up a few hundredths of a second short in preliminary races, Hille had the chance to compete in the 100 meters, 200 meters and long jump finals. Hille qualified for State in the long jump with a personal best mark of 16 feet, 5
inches. She also broke her personal best in the 200 meters by almost half of a second. Breaking through the 27-second barrier was a feat Hille had been trying to accomplish all season. However, despite her accomplishments in the 100 meters and 200 meters, the results felt bitter. Hille missed the qualifying time for State for both of her respective sprints by .02 seconds. Despite the disappointment, she is glad to be competing in long jump for the second year in a row. “This year I’ve been struggling to be faster and jump farther than last year, but now that I’ve made it in long jump I’m pretty happy, but not quite satisfied,” Hille said, “I just can’t wait to prove myself in the long jump at State, and I can’t wait until next season so I can reach my goals for sprinting.” The third Pirate to qualify for State is freshman Kat Andrus. Throughout the season Andrus proved that she is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the triple jump. After marking 33- and 34-foot jumps consistently, Adrus shocked the field with a personal best jump of 35 feet, 10.75 inches at Districts. The phenomenal distance landed her the Tri-District Champion title as a freshman. Although VHS is sending three track athletes to State, Vashon Island deserves credit for two other young athletes with standout performances at Districts. Island resident Graham Peet, a junior at The Northwest School, placed first in both the 3,200 meters and 1,600 meters. Abi Kim, a sophomore at Seattle Christian, took home the Tri-District title in the 100 meters, 200 meters and the long jump. The State championships will be this weekend in Cheney.

Softball ends at first-ever playoffs Three male rowers nab Vashon loses to Blaine The Pirate fast-pitch softball team ended its season on a historical note Saturday at the state playoffs. The team made it to the first round of playoffs for the first time in team history, but lost to Blaine, 31-4. Prior to the loss, Vashon ended its regular season with senior night and a game against Cascade Christian on Tuesday, May 20. The Pirates defeated the Cougars, 16-7. Senior night was a big night for the Pirates. Tied for fourth in the Nisqually League, the team needed to win against the Courgars to secure a spot in the playoffs. Vashon jumped on Cascade early, scoring 4 points in the first inning and 6 in the second. Senior pitcher Gabby Frazier held Cascade scoreless through inning three before giving up 4 points in the fourth. Frazier pitched all seven innings,
giving up seven runs and striking out five. Senior Paige Browne had a great day at the plate, hitting a triple, double and single. Vashon was in the playoffs for the first time in team history. Now all they had to do was get passed Blaine. The Pirates started off the playoff game hot when freshman Hannah McArthur hit a three-run bomb. In the second, Browne hit a home run over the centerfield fence. Defensively the Pirates battled for three innings with Browne pitching, but eventually they fell apart defensively. The game ended in five innings with Blaine scoring 31 runs to Vashon’s four. This year’s team managed to do something no other team in Vashon history has ever been able to do. With many young players planning to return next year, expectations and hopes are high. — Ezra Lacina
college scholarships
The Vashon Island Rowing Club will send three graduating male rowers to row for Division I schools, countering a common misconception that colleges with rowing programs are only interested in girls. Jacob Plihal, Tate Gill and Baxter Call will all row for their chosen schools. And while all three have excellent academic records, their paths to collegiate rowing have been quite different. Unlike women’s rowing, men’s rowing is not an NCAA sport, and this is often misunderstood to mean
that colleges only put money into women’s rowing. In fact, men’s rowing chose not to join the NCAA. This choice can actually lead to better offers to qualified athletes, given that the NCAA has many limits regarding scholarship money. Plihal was heavily recruited by many Division I programs, including several Ivy League schools, and ultimately decided on Northeastern, where he plans to study architecture and was offered an athletic scholarship worth 75 percent of his tuition, room and board. Gill applied to
Jacob Plihal, Tate Gill and Baxter Call schools that he liked academically but also had strong rowing programs, and was offered an athletic scholarship to Boston University, where he plans to study engineering. Gill received an offer for 60 percent of his tuition, room and board. Call’s path to a Division I rowing program came in the form of an academic schol-
arship to Oregon State University, where he plans to study environmental science or premed. After Call spoke to the school’s rowing coach and provided his rowing credentials, the coach asked that he apply to the school, and according to Call and his parents, he heard back with an acceptance and the scholarship offer within days.

SEAS OF CHANGE: The Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Museum will soon open a new exhibit on the Native experience on Vashon. Called “Vashon Island’s Native People: Navigating Seas of Change,” the exhibit will open June 6 and run through March 15, 2015. Watch The Beachcomber for more on the exhibit.

The island’s Native heritage spans thousands of years Northwest tribes were decimated by disease, internment By BRUCE HAULMAN For The Beachcomber
Vashon-Maury Island has been the home of Native people for as many as 9,000 years. We do not know for certain if Native Americans passed over Vashon as they roamed the Northwest hunting mammoths and other large animals of that time, but we do know that spear points and arrowhead dating from that time have been found on the island. There is evidence that at least 2,500 years ago Native people lived permanently on the island. By about 250 years ago, there is estimated to have been around 650 Native people living in six permanent village sites on the island. These Natives identified themselves as the sHebabS in the Twulushootseed language of the Puyallup People, or the S’Homamish in the later Chinook jargon (chinuk wawa) trade language. The original Native people of Vashon were decimated and displaced after the arrival of European settlers. Through the ravages of epidemic diseases that killed over two-thirds of the Native Americans of this region, and through removal, internment and placement on the Puyallup Reservation, their numbers dwindled, but they did not disappear. Some continue to live on, and others continue to visit the island they called home as they adopted and became a part of the white culture that overwhelmed and replaced them. The Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Museum will soon open an exhibit on the Native experience on Vashon. Titled “Vashon Island’s First People: Navigating Seas of Change,” the exhibit will open on First Friday, June 6. Today, Native people continue to call Vashon-Maury Island home, but most of them are not the same Native people who originally inhabited the island. The 2010 Census counted 220 Vashon-Maury Island residents who identified as Native American. Seven of these residents identified as being Puget Sound Salish, the original Native people of the Puget Sound region. The other 213 Native people identified as being from 26 other tribes, including 33 from Alaskan tribes, 31 Cherokee, 12 Choctaw, nine Sioux and eight Chippewa.

Shotridge, who has lived on Vashon since the 1990s, is a member of the Tlingit tribe and is a master carver. At McMurray Middle School, there is a monument to the Native people of Vashon. It was installed by the Hands Across Time project developed by Roxanne Thayer in the mid-1990s. The project involved an archaeological dig at Jensen Point on the Burton Peninsula. The monument was intended to honor the sHebabS People of Vashon-Maury Island. It reads in the Twulushootseed language:
(In honor of those who went before us, the Native people of Vashon-Maury Island) Now the monument can honor all of the Native Americans who are an important part of our community. They are not all sHebabS people who originally lived here, but they are all Native people who call Vashon home. — Bruce Haulman is an island historian.

TRIP CONTINUED FROM 1
that Volker first learned of the walk. Volker was given “The Way,” a 2012 film starting Martin Sheen and featuring El Camino de Santiago, as a Christmas gift and was hooked. Commonly called el Camino, the ancient path across northern Spain became Volker’s third “C.” Translated as the Way of St. James, the 500-mile trek ends at what is believed to be the burial site of the apostle James and has been a popular Christian pilgrimage for over 1,000 years. In recent years the path, dotted with historical sites, picturesque views and small towns with hostels, has become a destination for travelers of all backgrounds. It now draws over 200,000 walkers a year. “It’s become an international phenomenon. … You’re walking in the footsteps of millions of people who have come before you,” Volker said. It was a phenomenon that Volker, though drawn by the trail, first thought he would never experience himself. Believing he was too ill to travel and walk such a long distance, Volker, who is also a hiker, woodworker and avid hunter, set about recreating the walk closer to home. With help from a friend who is an engineer, Volker eventually mapped out a halfmile path on his 10-acre property. And last December, after the trail was blessed by Father Marc Powell of St. John Vianney, he began to walk. “Being an islander, we tend to come up with our own solutions for things,” Volker said. Walking the trail again last week, Volker, who raised two children on Vashon with his wife Rebecca Graves, frequently passed
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
posts with scallop shells — the symbol of the Camino. He walked by hanging bird feeders, well-worn hunting targets in the woods and a small steam with a line of rocks to cross it. When a dog in a neighboring yard approached the fence, he promptly produced a treat from his pocket. “It seemed to be different every time,” he said of the walk. And it was, in part because Volker was often not alone as he did 909 laps on his trail. Over 100 friends, family members, acquaintances and even doctors from Swedish Hospital accompanied Volker on various legs of the walk. Volker kept careful records in a log book, daily recording how far he walked, who he walked with and where he would be on the actual Camino. As he increased how far he walked at a time, eventually walking as many as 6 miles a day, he says he also built relationships. He walked with members of the Vashon Episcopal church, where he gave a talk. And he even convinced the author of a book about the Camino, Annie O’Neil, who is also featured in a popular documentary about the trail, to come to Vashon to walk with him. It poured the day she came, he said, but the two still had a great time. “A lot of great conversations were had here,” he said. The walking was not only good for the soul, Volker said, but also seemed to be good for his health, as his strength gradually grew. His exercise was constantly monitored by his doctors at Swedish, who have been impressed at how well he’s handled chemotherapy. “It’s a rough process, but I seemed to have sidestepped all sorts of pitfalls,” he said. “Everyone is totally on board at Swedish,” he added. “I’m kind of a feather in their cap.” In recent months, Volker’s cancer has stabilized, and several recent scans have come back clean, meaning the cancer hasn’t
Page 19
spread since previous scans. While this doesn’t necessarily mean much for the future, Volker says, it does bode well for his trip to Spain. If two more scans come back clean, doctors will give him the okay to skip one chemo treatment and spend four weeks in July and August walking the Camino. “I’ve got one doctor that keeps me alive, and one that puts me on the map,” he said. “I like to think of it that way.” Volker will be joined on the trail by two friends from St. John Vianney. One of them, Kelly Burke, recently lost his wife to cancer. “It’s exciting and wonderful, and I’m scared to death,” Burke said in an interview last week. The two men, along with islander Rick Paquette, are already training for the trek, where they will live for four weeks out of backpacks and walk about 12 miles per day on roads and dirt trails. The trek will begin in the mountains on the border of France and Spain, cross through flat farmlands and end in on the northwest coast of Spain, a place Volker compared to western Washington. In between, the group will stay in hotels and hostels that at some places could have up to 100 people in a room. “It’s not a race, it’s a walk,” said Burke, who has known Volker for years. “We’ll do what we can do, and if we need to take a day off to rest, that’s what we need to do.”
Burke plans to finish the length of the route, but Volker, who doesn’t have as much time to spend in Spain, will skip some legs in order to see the entire trail. “God willing and doctor willing,” Volker said, he will walk the final 100 kilometers to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, a stretch required to receive a certificate of completion. “I think it’s going to be a wonderful time to reflect on life,” Burke said, “thinking about our busy life here and what’s really important in living. I think I’m going to be changed when I come back, and I think Phil will, too.” Volker is looking forward to what the Camino will hold, but at the same time says he’s already been changed on his own backyard journey. “It’s really enriched my life,” he said. “My life has never been richer than it is right now.” Coming to the end of last week’s walk, Volker bent down to pick up a stone and tossed it onto a large pile of rocks in front of his home. He explained that each rock represents a prayer said by either him or a guest after finishing a walk, similar to a tradition on the real Camino. “All of these things got prayed for,” he said. “Maybe there are miracles in there that happened.”

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption
Dear VIPP,
Born 5/2010, BOOTS is a handsome young man with a great personality. He is a bed kitty which he will also share with his sister, Spotty. Boots’s person is very sad about giving him up but a lot of changes have upended the family and now Boots and Spotty are at VIPP looking for a new home. Boots has good house manners and he is good with kids. Boots came to VIPP on 3/22/14.
Coco is 5, and the only gift this love bug wants is a forever home to call her own. A sweet and special girl, Coco had a rough go for the first few years of her life and is longing to have the love and care that every dog deserves. In true Chihuahua fashion, she LOVES to cuddle, the softer the blanket the better. Coco adores romping in the yard (fenced please) and going for short walks, but she has arthritis in her hips and can’t handle long walks. She is a fabulous companion, loving lap dog, and “go with� dog who enjoys car rides and people and handles new situations well. She is OK with other dogs and while she is OK with kids, she would prefer not to live with them. If you would like to meet this sweetie please call Joan Becker at (206) 463-2608 or email Joan at jayandjoanbecker@gmail.com.
Miss Chips now gets to go outside using the cat door, she heads out on the deck to soak up the sun, then she moves to the shade, comes back inside and takes a long nap in her cat bed, which is right in our living room. Curled up in her cat bed she lets Shelby (our 5 year old daughter) pet her, kiss her and play with her. She is a very patient cat with a loud purr, and is very unfazed by our other cats - Artemis and Callisto. We think she has adjusted to our house and family and I am so happy that we came back for her—we really needed a cat that could be showered with affection by Shelby—and that is Miss Chips! She is keeping her name— we really like it! Thank you, great people of VIPP - for all that you do! Angela, Joe & Shelby
