An unexpected journey
Illness sets a family on the road together By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
I
sland musician Cami Lundeen and her husband Erik are preparing for a journey of a lifetime. They’ve sold all their worldly goods, bought a small pop-up trailer and this weekend will hit the highway with their four young children to launch Cami’s nationwide tour.
Sitting at a narrow Formica table under the canvas roof of her new home, Cami talked last week about a perfect storm of events that led to this radical decision. Her voice is husky, reminiscent of pop singer Adele, and her green eyes sparkled beneath a fringe of dark bangs streaked with purple. “Now that all this has come to pass, I need to wear the T-shirt that says ‘Be the difference you want to see,’” she said with a laugh.“ Indeed, Cami is doing more than walking her talk. She is singing her way out of a nightmare that began in 2010, shortly after the birth of her fourth child. Fatigued and plagued with a chronic mal-

Cami Lundeen, a local musician, will take her husband and four children on a national tour in the family’s small pop-up trailer. aise, Cami was admitted to the hospital and learned she has a rare, incurable and progressive liver disease. A mother with four small children, Cami had not yet seen her 30th birthday.
Fast-forward to early this year when the Lundeen’s perfect storm began to build. Erik lost his job with Bethel Church, and with that went their home, also owned by Bethel. Two
STARTING SCHOOL ON A POSITIVE NOTE As young students funneled into Chautauqua Elementary School last Thursday, their ears were greeted by school district staff who briefly left their classrooms and offices that morning to pick up guitars, banjos and even a mandolin. The ad-hoc faculty band has been playing upbeat jams on Thursday mornings for a few years, and young students, including Roots Dehaven, pictured at right, now frequently gather outside the front doors of the school to listen, tap their toes and for the youngest among them, sometimes dance a bit before heading to class. The band currently includes, from left, paraeducator Cliff Simpson, P.E. teacher Rochelle Munger, technology specialist Andy James and music teacher Samantha Hirman. Munger said she started the tradition in hopes of lifting students’ spirits partway through the school week and also getting students to join the band. That morning the staff was joined by one student on guitar and three on drums, and a number of other students, including a group of string players, have played throughout the year as well. “There’s something to be said for starting people’s day on a positive note,” Munger said.

Changes in how a community group spends its state-funded grant will result in about $100,000 in cuts to programs at Vashon Youth & Family Services (VYFS), according to the social service agency. VYFS announced late last month that the Vashon Alliance to Reduce Substance Abuse (VARSA), a volunteer group that has been working to reassess how it spends $145,000 in annual funds to tackle teen substance abuse, has chosen to redirect about $100,000 that had funded programs at the VYFS PlaySpace. The funding allowed the center to offer parenting classes, parent coaching, support groups and a comprehensive support program for the highest-risk youth on the island. The nonprofit expects VARSA will continue to designate as much as $35,000 for PlaySpace programs. “Thirty-five thousand dollars is a generous grant, but it’s a dramatic change for the agency,” said VYFS executive director Kathleen Johnson, who expects PlaySpace cuts will begin next month. Johnson said she is disappointed to see the SEE PLAYSPACE, 29

Ferry ticket policy changes after ticket fraud in the San Juans Ticket number only no longer accepted After issues with fraudulent ferry ticket use in the San Juan Islands, ferry riders throughout the system will now be required to provide their original multiride tickets or photocopies of tickets, as ticket numbers only will no longer be accepted at the dock. The change, which
begins Sunday, comes after a number of ferry riders in the San Juan Islands recently complained that someone had gotten access to their ticket numbers, though not their physical tickets, and had used them without permission to pay for ferry rides, according to Marta Coursey, a spokeswoman for Washington State Ferries. Police in the San Juans conducted an investigation, but were unable to identify the fraudulent ticket users.
The only licensed Escrow office on Vashon Island since 1979.
•
At the same time, WSF reviewed its own ticketing system, and Coursey said they determined their system was not compromised. WSF chose to change its policy to prevent any further issues, she said. “We understand that some people are unhappy with this modification because they enjoyed the ability to give out their number freely to family/ friends,� Coursey said in an email. “However, requiring either a hard copy ticket or a printout of a ticket is a reasonable expectation for customers and protects everyone throughout the system.�

County’s pet license proposal raises veterinarians’ concerns By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Vashon Island veterinarians are opposing a King County proposal that would require vets around the county to turn over client contact information when dogs and cats are vaccinated against rabies. King County would use the information to keep track of how many pets have received the rabies vaccine and to contact pet owners who have not licensed their cat or dog. Licensing pets is a requirement on Vashon and throughout much of King County, but one that is frequently not complied with, said Cameron Satterfield, a King County spokesman. Having this information would enable the county to know the rabies vaccination rate and provide immediate access to records if someone is bitten by an unknown cat or dog. “We are really focused on public health and safety and that we are tracking the things we need to track,” Satterfield said. However, on Vashon, Dana Ness, a veterinarian who owns Fair Isle Animal Clinic, said she and many other vets and their professional organizations, the Washington State Veterinary Medical Association and the Puget Sound Veterinary Medical Association, oppose the measure for a variety of reasons. Among them, she said, is that while the county is couching the proposal as a concern about health and safety, the paramount issue is that King County’s Regional Animal Services needs the funding that comes from license fees and is turning to veterinarians to enforce the laws and increase revenue. “We are totally opposed,” Ness said. “It is a breach of trust. … It is so outside the realm of our interaction with our clients. It is really upsetting to me that we would be turned into an arm of law enforcement.” Should the proposal be enacted, she said,
she fears patients would feel betrayed, potentially bringing their pets to the vet less often and ultimately decreasing the rabies vaccination rate. Additionally, she said, complying with a monthly reporting requirement would take staff time and come with a cost. “If you want to make a vet angry, just mention this proposal,” she added. Currently, at the front desk at Fair Isle, a petition objecting to this proposal is available to clients who would like to sign. So far 56 clients have signed it, Ness said on Monday, adding that she feels that is a high number of people, considering it was set out just last week. At King County, Satterfield said officials are aware of veterinarians’ reactions and are working with representatives from the professional organizations as they move ahead. A status update on the proposal will be given to SeattleKing County Public Health next month, but he said he doubts there will be a definitive conclusions at that time. County officials are not the first to propose these reporting measures, Satterfield noted, as several states and smaller jurisdictions rely on such programs, including Illinois, Alabama and Sacramento, California. Miami-Dade County tripled its pet licensing when it implemented this requirement, he said. In King County, a license costs $30 for pets who have been neutered or spayed, $60 for those who have not and $15 for pet owners who are seniors or disabled. There is no fee for service animals. Those funds help support the work of the county’s Regional Animal Services program, Satterfield said, including the county’s pet adoption center and investigations into animal neglect and cruelty. Only one in five King County pet owners licenses their pet, according to a KIRO news
report on this issue, and if that number would double, the county’s animal services would be a self-sustaining program, Satterfield said. Should the current proposal be enacted, Satterfield said that initially pet owners who have not licensed their pets would receive a reminder in the mail to do so. “We want to make it educational and not take a punitive approach,” he said. Eventually, though, an enforcement component would be likely if owners still did not comply. The proposal first surfaced last winter, Ness said, but was met with resistance, though clinics agreed to put educational materials about the benefits of licensing in their clinics. The two professional associations say this plan was not given enough time to work on its own, and now the proposal has resurfaced, to the frustration of many. Ness stressed that she understands the need for additional funds for animal services, and she has licensed her own pets, wanting to do the right thing. But she believes this plan is wrong and that the county should work harder on educating the public about the benefits of pet licensure instead of turning to veterinarians in the proposed manner. She has been in touch with county representatives about her position and will forward the petition’s signatures to them as well, she said. Ness also said that she wondered just how the county would enforce compliance among vet clinics, when so many are so strongly opposed. “I have no plans to comply,” she added. She encouraged pet owners who are opposed to sign the petition or contact their county representatives. “We are going to fight this as much as we can,” she said. “I do not want (a client’s) confidence shaken that way.”
Recycling can now be mixed at transfer station Islanders who take their recycling to the King County Transfer Station can now combine most of their recyclable materials, and some new materials are also being accepted, according to an announcement from King County. Cardboard will continue to be collected separately. Materials that were not able to be recycled previously at the transfer station but are now accepted include large lids (3 inches or more), paper cups and plastic items such as cups, pill bottles and plant pots. The list of recyclables now includes paper food boxes without liners, paper, hard and paperback books, telephone books, milk, juice and broth cartons, plastic bottles, plastic food containers, shredded paper, tin and aluminum cans and glass bottles and jars. People who subscribe to curbside recycling services through Vashon Disposal should continue to separate their recyclables at this time, according to a company representative. —Susan Riemer

Vashon School District expands its summer school offerings The Vashon School District is set to offer summer school classes at Chautauqua, McMurray and Vashon High schools this year, and will include previously offered standard programming as well as two new programs. Chautauqua Elementary School will offer its traditional reading skills improvement class for English Language Learners and students identified as being at risk. Summer classes at McMurray will include both math and reading camps, which have previously been offered, as well as a new Jump Start program, designed primarily for students transitioning from eighth grade to high school in the fall. “Our team came up with this idea to help kids we’ve identified as needing extra support for the challenges they’ll face in
high school,” said McMurray principal Greg Allison. “We’ll focus on things like study skills and engagement. We’ll also be working with kids who were previously home-schooled and need more intensive support for the transition.” The high school will offer students the opportunity for credit retrieval as it has in previous years, but with more extensive subject availability due to a pilot project with an online curriculum service. “It’s a blended learning model involving both online and in-person support,” explained VHS principal Danny Rock, “which statistically speaking, is the best way to do it.” Rock went on to say that he thinks the program will prove to be a good fit for a number of students who struggle with
more traditional learning situations. “We’re really interested in supporting students who struggle and in finding the best possible environment and alternatives in teaching and learning,” he said. “It will be exciting to see how effective this model is for those who participate this summer. It will give us good information for moving forward.” Funding for the expanded programs comes from a variety of sources, including private grants, state funding and the PTSA. For more information about summer school programs, go to vashonsd.org and click on “Academics.” To register a student, contact his or her school before the end of June. — Sarah Low

Puget Sound: Protect the water around us
Food bank looks to nourish in more ways than one
Puget Sound needs saving, and it’s now more apparent than ever that what shoreline homeowners do on their own stretch of beach can play an important role in the sound’s health. Recent efforts to improve the health of Puget Sound have focused on the nearshore, the place where the land meets the sea. It’s called the sound’s breadbasket because it is so productive. When we explore the beach at low tide, it’s teeming with life: barnacles, kelp crabs, moon snails, a plethora of eggs stuck to eelgrass. Less obvious is how important the desert-looking sand and gravel flats are to small fish like the sand lance and surf smelt, which lay their eggs high up on the beach during high tide. When the tide recedes, the eggs are protected from drying out by the shade of shoreline trees and shrubs. These little fish called forage fish feed bigger fish like threatened chinook salmon, which are the primary food of the threatened southern resident orcas. When orcas come to our shores, people crowd the beach at Point Robinson in awe. The reality, however, is pretty simple: No little fish means no salmon, which means no orcas. We know that bulkheads and groins, which are referred to as shoreline armoring and are common on Vashon, can change the beach. Bulkheads protect the land from washing away, but they also disconnect the land from the sea. Sand and gravel move along the shore, pushed by currents, tides and waves. The sands and gravels that have moved elsewhere are normally replenished by eroding bluffs. Shoreline armoring, however, can starve the beach, changing it and the community of organisms that can survive there. In recent years much research has gone into identifying these “feeder bluffs” and tracking “drift cells,” the direction the sand and gravel travels and where it is deposited. King County, for example, has worked hard to protect feeder bluffs on the southeast side of Maury Island at Piner Point so that sand and gravel can continue to make it all the way up to Point Robinson. Dr. Megan Dethier at the
This week some may be surprised to read in a story about the food bank’s new summer lunch program (page 12) that nearly a quarter of the students on Vashon qualify for free or reduced meals at island schools. In a fairly affluent community, the food bank hasn’t forgotten that many families on Vashon struggle and that they’ll continue to struggle after school lets out this month. Some families will have to provide two more meals a day for at least one child that normally eats at school. Vashon’s food bank is Studies have shown that working to lend a hand students experience to these families, but in learning loss over the long a way that’s creative and summer months, so much appropriate for Vashon. so that many districts are They’re inviting all island now turning to year-round families, regardless of their income, to gather school. a few times a week for food and activities at Ober Park. Doing so addresses not only families’ financial needs — those who can will be asked to donate for kids’ lunches — but another perennial summer problem. Studies have shown that students experience learning loss over the long summer months, so much so that many districts around the country are now turning to year-round school. One study even found that more than half of the achievement gap between lower- and higher-income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning opportunities. For parents, it can be hard to find productive and stimulating activities for children to do over the summer, and many camps and extra-curricular activities are out of reach for families with limited means. The food bank, at its new summer lunch program at Ober Park, will provide equal access to fun as well as some educational activities to all children who attend. Unlike some communities, Vashon doesn’t qualify for federal funds to offer such a summer meal program, but the food bank is making it happen anyway. With enough participation and support by volunteers, this program has the potential to be very enriching for Vashon children, providing nourishment for their bodies as well as their minds. Islanders, regardless of their background, should consider taking kids at least once a week to this new program, or even volunteering if possible — some specific volunteers will be needed to have robust educational activities. It’s a program that will only thrive if the community steps up and gets involved.
ENVIRONMENT By SUSIE KALHORN University of Washington is currently studying 34 matched pairs of armored and unarmored beaches in Puget Sound. She’s found that armored beaches are 4 to 9 meters narrower than natural beaches and have 20 to 60 percent less shade, making life difficult for forage fish egg survival. The accumulation of wrack — the seaweed and other bits left at high tide — is also much greater on natural beaches. This wrack, in turn, supports small animals like beach hoppers, which are food for fish and shorebirds. Dethier found 15 times more crustaceans on unarmored beaches than armored beaches. “It’s the stinkin’ seaweed and the critters that feed the food web that is disrupted by armoring,” she said at a recent conference. I was dismayed to read a recent report put out by King County on change to the shorelines on Vashon-Maury and in the surrounding area. Researchers did an inventory to see what humanmade changes had occurred along the shoreline between 2004 and 2013 on the 96 miles of Water Resources Inventory Area 9 (WRIA 9) shoreline. WRIA 9 extends from Federal Way to the north side of Elliot Bay and includes all of Vashon-Maury Island. The distressing results: “The amount of new shoreline armoring found through the course of this study offset all of the gains from shoreline restoration projects over the past 8 years.” I’m concerned about the habitat that supports Puget Sound’s food web. Our tax dollars dedicated to restore Puget Sound will be wasted if we continue to let habitat destruction outpace habitat restoration. It’s like we’re on a treadmill, expending dollars and getting nowhere. Most of the new bulkheads or major bulkhead repairs, clearing

in the shoreline buffer, new docks, groins, stairs and ramps occurred on Vashon-Maury and most were unpermitted. The longest new bulkhead in WRIA 9 is an unpermitted 292-foot structure located at the very beginning of a drift cell at the mouth of Quartermaster Harbor. I know that island shoreline homeowners care passionately about Puget Sound. I’m not advocating that we tear out all existing bulkheads and let our shorefront homes wash out to sea. I am suggesting we be very cautious about installing new bulkheads and clearing brush along the shoreline. Forage fish need the sand and gravel and the shade. Views and slope stability can be maintained using judicious pruning instead of clearing, thereby protecting human life and safety. Think Oso. We know much more about nearshore ecology than we did when our island was simply a summer beach playground for mainlanders. There are engineer-ecologists that can help determine whether a bulkhead is really necessary at a shoreline property, and a workshop this weekend will help homeowners explore what they can do to keep a more natural beach at their property. Although getting construction permits has not been the Vashon way, we are missing opportunities, such as exploring alternatives to new bulkheads, setting bulkheads back from the ordinary high water mark and avoiding putting armoring on top of forage fish spawning areas. Puget Sound is our moat. It is what defines us as islanders. As a community, we need to decide how we are going to protect and restore our magnificent piece of it for generations to come. — Susie Kalhorn is an environmental educator.
Homeowners workshop On Saturday the King Conservation District will put on a free workshop for shoreline and bluff homeowners to learn the best practices for protecting property while also protecting the Puget Sound. For more information, see the classes section of this week’s calendar on page 8.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR is on the Tacoma City Council. Cancer took him in a different direction. Second, the church is in trouble, and I am asking if there are folks out there who might be interested. Twice a month guest ministers are in the pulpit, and other Sundays there are lay leaders. Recently there was a poetry service, and soon there will be an all-music service. There is a great small choir twice a month led by Vashon’s own Maggie Laird, who is also church pianist. On a recent Sunday, we heard about a member discovering and walking through Vashon’s Lost Lake, and for the first time in history we learned the name of our founding (1892) minister’s wife — Josephine.

Stop by on Sunday mornings The Beachcomber, perhaps rather foolishly, recently encouraged letters to the editor if they were kept below 300 words. At a youthful 89, I will observe that limit, although I have lots to say before moving on. First, I don’t belong to any organized religion; I attend Burton Community Church and have for 25 years. For me, the wondrous years were when Rev. Marcus Walker was in the pulpit. He was also artistic director at the Lakewood Playhouse, had studied directing in London and his dear wife Laurie was and

artist Edmund Sawyer, now living with his wife Helen out at the Vashon Cemetery. As noted, the church could use a few folks who might be interested in something a little different. Great coffee, snacks and conversation after the service. Last, no one at Burton Church (11 a. m. every Sunday) knows I’m writing this letter, so I may be taking a chance. On the other hand, no one has been burned at the stake for years down at Burton Church. By my count that’s 293 words. Hallelujah! — Gordon Fisk
Vashon Pool
School district needs to step up It’s not often I agree with the park board on their decisions. But this time, the park board is right. The school district is
wrong. Period. The school district is the landlord, hired the contractors for the new building (architect too, I suppose) and oversaw the construction. And they made mistakes. Big ones. Is the contractor liable for not having continued the drainage for the pool? Does the school district’s fiduciary responsibility include getting payment from the contractor? Ultimately, the buck stops with the school district. Have school board members never been to the pool in full swing — with Vashon young adult lifeguards teaching swimming to little ones? Seen older Vashonites swimming to relieve arthritic pain? This is community. This is the Vashon way. Those of us who support both the park district and schools want a long-term solution. The school district needs to step up to the plate. — Jean Carpenter

Tooth Talk
with Dr. Langland
Tips for maintaining a healthy smile
Did you know? Cavities usually don’t hurt! “How can I have a cavity doctor? My teeth don’t hurt.” We hear this frequently and it is a dangerous misconception. Decay moves into a tooth from the outside where there are no nerves. Only when the decay is deep and close to the nerve does the tooth become sensitive. At this point, unfortunately, the tooth has a much greater chance of needing a root canal. The key to retaining our teeth is to prevent decay and catch it early when it does occur. Brushing, flossing and a healthy diet continue to be the best preventive measures.

Thank you for your care and concern during a time of grief I’d like to acknowledge the efforts of two Islanders, Marcus Daly of Marian Caskets and Sue Nebeker of American Hero Quilts. My Dad was recently laid to rest wrapped in one of the beautiful handmade quilts (he was a WWII Veteran) and the handcrafted oak coffin. Your care and concern eases the grief of the man who taught me embroidery and woodworking. Thank you also Marcus for taking the time and effort to deliver both items when time was at a premium.

Stop defacing property! Thanks and no thanks to the person who lifted a copy of “Islanders, Meet Your Neighbors” from Thriftway shelves to practice his//her editing skills by making corrections in my book and then putting it back on the shelf. I have enjoyed interviewing and writing about islanders for several years and realize I’m not perfect. We both have much to learn. I need to sharpen my editing. The interloper needs to stop defacing Thriftway property. Dorothy Hall-Bauer

In January, Audrey Shirk’s class at Chautauqua Elementary School began a Read to Feed fundraising project for Heifer International, a charitable organization that works with communities to end world hunger and poverty, and to care for the earth. Students raised money by getting sponsored for each book they read during a certain time period. When the Oso landslide occurred, however, the students and their teacher decided that they wanted to do what they could to help those victims, as well as continue their Heifer project. While continuing with their reading fundraiser, the students held bake sales and set up lemonade stands. The class completed its efforts in April, ultimately raising $25,83 for Heifer International and the residents of Oso.

Three authors share stories of courage and revelation Local writers contributed to a recent literary anthology By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
Three Vashon writers gathered last week to talk about their different writing styles and experiences as contributors to the literary anthology “Shared Histories, Stories of Courage, Risk, and Revelation.” The authors — Catherine Johnson, John Runyan and Elizabeth Van Deventer — will read from the collection at 6 p.m. Friday at the Vashon Bookshop. These writers are current and former members of The Salish Sea Writers (SSW), a private Seattle-based community of writers led by author Brenda Peterson. Meeting once a week, the writers bring in a story to share and leave with suggestions and comments about their nonfiction, fiction or poetic works in-progress. Peterson, an author who as published 15 books, chimes in with her insights into the art and craft of writing. “Brenda will summarize your work and then she pushes you,” said Van Deventer, an anthropologist who joined SSW in 2011. “My background is in academic writing. She thought I was too polemic, so I had to learn how to create scenes and dialogue instead of laying things out.” Johnson, a published author and island farmer, remembers the early years of SSW, when she first attended the Monday evening sessions in 1996. “There was a time when Brenda gave us a handout every week, trying to teach us sentence structure or scene or flashback, some element of the craft in addition to reviewing the manuscript,” Johnson said. Runyan, a recently retired facilitator and mediator consultant, has written professionally throughout his career. Ten years ago he wanted to try his hand at a memoir, and someone recommended the group. “I’m interested in writing about leadership,” Runyan said. “Brenda pressed me to go further with my story by asking what are the leadership experiences that influenced me, not the theories.” The overall power of story and how it affects people’s lives is a commonly held theme for the 25 writers whose diverse backgrounds bring disparate views to the book. There is a neuroscientist, Aikido trainer, senior Microsoft writer, global leadership coach, former NPR reporter, published children’s author and illustrator, psychologist,

John Runyan, Elizabeth Van Deventer and Catherine Johnson prepare for the reading of their new literary anthology “Shared Histories” at the Vashon Bookshop on Friday. University of Washington professor plus a survivor of the World War II Japanese-American concentration camps and former island resident, Mary Matsuda Gruenewald. The book’s epigraph by C.G. Jung gives eloquent voice to the collection’s underlying philosophy. “Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” Van Deventer’s self-inquiry led to a story that explores the mixture of grief and joy she experienced caring for her dying brother. “It was hard to write as I had to relive the experience,” Van Deventer said. “But my search to describe the sacred in nature, through writing, is what my brother tried to do through his photography. We were soul mates.” Johnson, who no longer participates in SSW, pieced together her story from journal entries that explored questions about raising animals for meat. “I write to make meaning in my life, linking my spiri-
tuality and my religious beliefs into my experience in the world, trying to see how the mystery comes alive in my everyday life,” Johnson said. For Runyan, two key elements that influence his writing are inquiry and listening to other people’s stories, especially our elders. “I’m working on a series of memoir pieces about elders who have influenced my life,” Runyan said. “Brenda talks about crafting them like quilt pieces into a book.” How to get these stories into the hands of readers is a tough challenge, especially in today’s publishing landscape. The Salish Sea Writers found a seasoned guide in Peterson, who is well-versed in the realities of contemporary publishing. With her assistance, the group selfpublished “Shared Histories” in less than a year. Peterson and Gruenewald will join Johnson, Runyan and Van Deventer at the event on Friday. After the authors read short excerpts from the book, they will open the floor to questions about writing and self-publishing.
State poet laureate will read poetry with local youth By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
When Washington state poet laureate Elizabeth Austen was invited to read poetry with three Vashon youth this week, she says she jumped at the chance to join them. “I want to signal that I support those who engage in poetry,” said Austen. “It will be my first reading on Vashon as poet laureate, and besides, who can resist the chance to come to Vashon?” The three fifth-grade poets — Kolibri Enson-Overstreet, Kai Godsey and Malio Nelson — have been working for the past two years with Sharon Shaver through Family Link. Shaver said creating poetry is a boisterous experience for the three boys. Poetry as an experience fits well with Austen’s philosophy and her vision to help others see the poetic light. Austen, whose tenure as poet laureate began last February,
plans to visit the state’s 39 counties by the end of her term in 2016. Hoping to speak to book groups and generate poetry-writing workshops across the state, Austen created the website www.wapoetlaureate.org to show where she’ll be at any given time. She said she hopes the tour will help promote her philosophy that poetry belongs in everyone’s life. “Most adults have a bad taste in their mouth from poetry as a child. I can’t imagine my life without poetry, so I want to gather 10 to 15 people in a group to read and write poetry to understand how it works and what it offers.” For Austen, poetry offered refuge after the death of her older brother. It helped make sense of his death and what it means to be alive. She explained that poetry is often used for weddings and funerals because as poet Marie Howe wrote, poetry is a cup of language to hold what can’t be said.

Washington state poet laureate Elizabeth Austen will read poems with three young island poets. “I want people to know that those experiences are part of everyday life as well,” Austen added, “and poetry helps with that.” Following the three Vashon poets, Austen will read work by poets from eastern Washington and from her recent book “Every Dress a Decision.” She says she
believes in the power of the spoken word. “Something magical is possible in a performance that doesn’t happen anywhere else — something electric, immediate and entirely ephemeral,” she said. The reading will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Vashon Bookshop.

Picnic in the park lunch program set to kick off this month Food bank will offer free food and fun for all kids this summer By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Vashon kids are invited to participate in a new picnic in the park program that will include free lunch and activities three days a week this summer. The program, called Edra’s Picnics in the Park, is being offered by the Vashon Maury Community Food Bank but is open to all children ages 3 to 17, according to food bank Executive Director Yvonne Pitrof. “This is about supporting kids whoever they are,” Pitrof said. Beginning June 23, the program will meet at noon Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at Ober Park, and organizers are hoping to offer — along with lunch — a variety of possible activities: juggling workshops, bubble wand fun, soccer clinics and more. The Vashon Library is also involved in the program and hopes to offer story time on Wednesdays, Pitrof said. Offering free lunch programs for kids in the summer is a growing trend for food banks, and something Pitrof and others at the Vashon food bank have wanted to do for some time. Although Vashon does not qualify for federal funds for such a program, as some communities do, there is a
definite need on the island, Pitrof said. Twenty-three percent of the island’s students receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch during the school year, which works out to some 300 Vashon kids, Pitrof said. When summer comes, it means those families have 10 meals a week per child added to their budgets. This can cause a strain, Pitrof said, and when lack of food is combined with the typical amount of knowledge lost over the course of a summer, kids often fail to thrive. “You get children that are far more prone to fall behind their peers and not live up to their full potential,” she said. With that in mind, the food bank raised funds for the program last fall, with a goal of $15,000. While they did not raise all of that amount, they did raise enough, she said, and are in the midst of hiring a coordinator for the program, organizing activities and lining up volunteers — more of whom are still needed. Early on in the planning process, Pitrof said, organizers decided to welcome all kids to the lunch program, regardless of their families’ economic situations, something she feels is important in a community of mixed income levels so that no one feels either stigmatized or excluded. Those who share in the meal and are able to support the program can simply donate some money to the program’s tip jar. Or families can make a lunch and come join in. She hopes the all-inclusive approach will help create the atmosphere she is looking to foster: people simply having fun together in the park.
While organizers are still working on the program details, they are hoping to get the word out to as many people as possible. Regardless, Pitrof said, she has no idea how many people might come, and expects the program will grow partially by word of mouth, and they will have to be able to respond accordingly. “We are going to be learning every day that we are there and fine tuning as we go,” she said. The first day, she said, they will be prepared with food for 50, with kids eating first and then the adults if there are leftovers. Pitrof said a host of volunteers are still needed — people to help with lunch preparations, those who can help at the park and people to plan and run activities. High school students can earn community service credit for assisting, she said, and if a group of friends or a family would like to come and run activities, they would be welcome. Pitrof added that while many island kids take part in camps and classes, those are out of reach for other kids, and activities offered could help address that disparity. The program is named after longtime food bank volunteer Edra Haynes, who was enthusiastic about a summer food program, but died last year, before she could see it come to fruition, Pitrof said. “It’s meals, but it’s more than that. It will give kids more than we know. We can give kids some opportunities,” she said. “This is something we can do as a community for our kids in the community.”

Zoë Sackman Plans after graduation: I’ll be studying some combination of philosophy, economics and gender and sexuality at Brown University. Activities, passions or accomplishments: I’ve participated in Japanese club, open mic and the literary magazine for all four years of high school. I’ve set up for and performed at open mic dozens of times, published a few literary magazines as editorin-chief and finally went to Japan this year. These communities I’ve been part of at VHS and my work as a tutor for Chautauqua students have really shaped me as a student, and I hope to bring some VHS spirit to my language, art and education pursuits at Brown. Fondest memories of high school: The Japan trip was definitely the highlight of my high school career. I learned so much about Japanese culture, my speaking ability improved exponentially, and I’m already making plans to go back. A close second is the time Mr. Schreiber made a three-point shot at a pep assembly. Parents: Sonja and Douglas Sackman

Achieved second place and second speaker in Washington State LD Debate during senior year. Fondest memories of high school: My fondest memory of VHS is a party with my close friends at KVI beach the day before school started senior year. Spending time with them that night is what made me decide not to do Running Start and stay at VHS for senior year. Best choice ever. Parents: Janine Jordan and Ron Salsbury

FAMILY CONTINUED FROM 1
their lives. “She asked me, how do we want to go out?” Erik said. “This could be us, any one of us any day, so what do we want to be doing with our lives when we die? If we don’t do anything, we’ll regret it.” Death is a foe Cami learned to befriend in the past four years through the healing power of music. The singer/songwriter came late to music, learning guitar in college, only to put it down when she had her first child. But after her diagnosis, she found her way back to music performance with a band at Bethel Church, where her father is the pastor. “I was dealing with the fear of dying. The music was so healing,” Cami said. “I loved it and wanted to write my own stuff. I sat down and started writing. It felt like I’d been doing it my whole life.” Depressed and afraid of leaving her children, Cami penned “Not Be Afraid.” The lyrics are a testament to how she wrestled with her demons. “We could be here forever or be gone in the moment. Will I die a thousand deaths in the fear of the one, or will I not be afraid? Will I choose to live life? … I will not be afraid.” Embracing her new life, Cami crafted her signature song “Run Free” in the spring of 2012. From there, the pace quickened. Cami wanted to sing for other people, so she contacted music promoter Pete Welch. In less than a month, she played her first public show at the Farmers Market. She calls the response she got at that first performance “crazy.” “I knew nothing about the music industry, but people listened. It felt like my calling. I decided to keep going.” Several events later — from the Strawberry Festival to The Triple Door in Seattle — Cami decided to record an album. That fall she met Ryan McAllister from Five Acres Studio in Abbotsford, British Columbia, who would produce her CD. But she needed seed money. Undaunted, Cami launched a Kickstarter campaign and to her amazement more than met her $15,000 goal. “I didn’t have a huge fan base. I hadn’t been playing for even a year. I didn’t even know two-thirds of the donors.” By May last year, Cami had a CD and music video filmed

Cami Lundeen picked up music again after being diagnosed with a rare and incurable liver disease. on Vashon, both called “Run Free.” She launched the CD in August. And then the feedback started rolling in. “At shows people would tell her that her music, her lyrics, were the only thing that got them out of bed,” said Erik, who at 37 has an infectious grin and an armload of tattoos. “She’s got an inspirational story, and the more she can be heard the better. It’s the reason for the tour.” The “Run Free” tour is ambitious: down the California coast, over to Colorado, up the East Coast, hitting 42 states
along the way. Cami and Erik plan to homeschool the children while booking house concerts and any live music venue, pub, winery or college. Children’s hospitals also made the list, as Cami feels passionately about bringing music to sick children. “Kids are so helpless, and my music is hopeful, encouraging. It tells them not to be afraid. And it’s something my kids can be part of.” For his part, Erik will accompany Cami on the box drum. He’s also a photographer with ambitions to take nature photographs during the trip with an eye toward publishing the collection. But before they wave goodbye to Vashon, the family plans to throw not just a farewell party but a musical extravaganza this Friday at the Open Space for Arts & Community. The farewell bash is also a benefit to help get the family on the road. Joining Cami on stage will be a talented crew of musicians — V. Contreras, Danny Newcomb and Mark Pickeral. A live auction with donations from renowned artists and businesses will be held, and on display will be the Lundeens’ traveling home with a map of their proposed route on the Formica table. Both parents are clear that the children’s needs will come first on this adventure they’re calling the Lundeen Roadshow. Erik says the kids — who are ages 4 to 11 — will be their barometers. If it doesn’t work for them and they don’t make it past Bellingham, he said, then at least they’ll know they tried. Still, Cami says she has a burning desire to share her message of hope and inspiration for others to follow their dreams. “As terrible as the diagnosis was, music came out of it, and I am thankful,” she said. “I’ve found out what I was made to be by overcoming fear, taking risks, getting out there. I have to share it. I believe it is a God-given gift, and it’s about people as a whole in the world. That is what we are trying to do, to get out there and make a difference.”
Cami Lundeen’s Run Free tour launch and benefit will be at 7 p.m. Friday at the Open Space for Arts & Community. Admission is by donation. Cami will release her latest single “How Do We Want To Go Out” on iTunes after her Friday night show.

Many firsts take place at this year’s ultramarathon Broken bones and an engagment, the race had it all By BRUCE CYRA For The Beachcomber
Last weekend resulted in many firsts at the fifth running of the Vashon Ultramarathon & Trail Run. This year’s race saw the highest temperature (76 degrees), largest 50k field, first broken rib with a finish, new 50k course record, first wedding proposal (she said yes), first 10-minute late start by a runner who then won the race and the first 15-year old’s birthday trail run. In one of the notable firsts, a 46-year-old runner tripped and fell at mile 13 of her 31-mile race and broke a rib, but got up and continued on to finish. Emergency responders were summoned to the finish line, but after getting a quick checkup, the runner got back out of the aid car to cheer on the other finishers. The runner, a physician’s assistant from West Seattle, realized that her rib would heal on its own and was most upset at losing her lead in the women’s 50k race, later getting passed at mile 20 because she was unable to take a full breath and “falling” back to finish as the third place woman. In another first, a race finisher used the setting of the postrace party to propose to his race finisher girlfriend, who must have been overcome by endorphins and accepted. The race

The 10-mile race begins, at left, and the winner of the 50k race, Justin Houck, right, set a new course record. organizers offered next year’s race — June 6 — as a wedding venue, but that offer has not yet been accepted. Adon Ellis of Vashon celebrated his 15th birthday by running his first 10-mile trail run and out-kicking a visitor from Augusta, Georgia, down the home stretch to finish as the 67th male in 1:58:52. Not letting a late start steal a first-place finish from him, high school junior Graham Peet finished his SAT and got to the start line well after all the other 10-milers had departed. He was able to pass more than
90 other runners on the narrow and twisting trails to take first place, barely beating his father, Andrew Peet, to the finish. 50k winner Justin Houck of Seattle, fresh off his win at the Squak Mountain Trail Run and his second-place finish at the Mercer Island Half Marathon (1:10), set a new ultra course record of 3:11:51. The first Vashon runners in the 50k were David Waterworth, David Weller and Richard Staehli in the men’s race and Rosetta Avolio-Toly, Kathleen Farrell and Susan Hesselgrave in the women’s race.

PLAYSPACE CONTINUED FROM 1
funding gone, but added that she understands the process VARSA recently went through and believes that the group is limited in how it can spend its grant, called the Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative (CPWI) grant. “The CPWI project has changed its focus over the last three years we’ve been involved with it,” Johnson said in a press release. “Today it is much more about community organizing, and VYFS is a service provider, not a community organizer.” Johnson added that she believes VYFS and VARSA, which have in the past disagreed publicly over grant spending, are now on better terms. “It’s not about their side, our side. We’re all stuck in this situation, and I think it’s difficult for everybody,” she said. “I think they worked as hard as they could to try to make it work.” VARSA, a group of volunteers that oversees two large grants garnered to address Vashon’s high levels of teen drinking and drug use, has been somewhat quiet about their plans. Chair Meri-Michael Collins said the group has been directed by King County, which administers the grant, to not comment to the press until its new plan is formally approved. Late Monday, however, the group issued a statement explaining that its proposed plan
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
“would lead to major changes in prevention strategies and functioning as part of the Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative (CPWI) to reduce youth alcohol and other drug abuse.” According to the press release, the plan includes the elements required by the state and county and focuses on reducing alcohol and drug use and related problems among middle and high schoolers. Collins said the group would give more details after the plan is approved. “The goal of the CPWI grant has always been to reduce underage substance abuse in 8th and 10th graders,” the statementsreads. “VARSA continues its commitment to reduce the numbers in our Healthy Youth Survey and actions by our youth around drug and alcohol use. Where possible we would like to contract with VYFS to provide services to help us meet these goals.” After learning the funding would be redirected, VYFS decided to no longer act as VARSA’s fiscal sponsor for the CPWI grant, Johnson said. She said it no longer makes sense for VYFS to spend time administering the complex grant. “We want to focus on creating sustainable funding for the programs we believe in, so we withdrew,” she said. The news comes as VARSA is wrapping up a months-long process to reassess how it spends the CPWI grant, a five-year grant funded by the state Department of Social and Human Services (DSHS). VARSA is currently entering the third year of funding, and its other funding source,
Page 29
the federal Drug-Free Communities grant, will end in September, though it could be renewed in the future. Last year VARSA and VYFS, which in 2012 worked together to garner the CPWI grant, became mired in a dispute over how the funding was spent. Some VARSA leaders claimed the community coalition should have more say in how the funds were being used and that far too much money was going to PlaySpace programs, as opposed to funding a diverse set of prevention programs as required by the grant. VYFS officials, however, insisted the grant was being spent according to a plan created by the two groups when it was first garnered. Jackie Berganio, a county official who helps manage the grant, later agreed, saying the grant funds were being expended according to the plan and there had been no financial wrongdoing. She suggested the dispute could have been caused by changes in leadership and miscommunication. The county ultimately ordered the two groups to work together on new communication and conflict management plans or risk losing the grant. At the same time, the county asked VARSA to formally reassess how the CPWI grant is spent, forming a subcommittee of volunteers that would dedicate countless hours to examining the group’s role on Vashon and updating its action plan. Berganio declined to comment on the details of the plan VARSA recently put forward, but said all four of the county’s CPWI coalitions are required to update
their plans periodically and that VARSA’s proposed plan “seems very balanced.” “We’re excited to finish this review and give feedback to the coalition,” she said. The VARSA coalition has freedom to decide how the CPWI funding is spent, but must work within some parameters laid out by the county. For instance, some funding must go toward specific items such as a specialist in the schools, a public awareness campaign and environmental strategies. Some funding can support direct services such as those provided at the PlaySpace, Berganio said, but at least 60 percent of those services must be those considered by DSHS to be proven effective at reducing teen substance use. Berganio said CPWI aims to create programs that can be sustained after the grant ends and ultimately aims to see declines in the self-reported use of drugs and alcohol by middle schoolers and high schoolers. “We’re trying to make sure that the focus is still on children and youth,” Berganio said. “Parents are part of it, but we want to ensure that the whole model is addressed.” Berganio didn’t say whether the county would approve a plan that continued to heavily fund PlaySpace programs, but she did say the county has worked closely with the VARSA subcommittee, a diverse group of volunteers headed by islanders Chuck vanNorman and Tracie Mach, to create the new plan. “This isn’t a services grant,” she said.

“It’s a five-year grant to demonstrate change in underage drinking that was just merely funding services.� As news of VARSA’s new plan came to light, so did news that a few key VARSA volunteers are apparently leaving the group, though it’s not yet clear why. VARSA co-chair Diane Kjellberg and coalitions members Larry Kjellberg and Robin Blair all recently resigned. The Kjellbergs declined to comment on their resignations, and Blair said she is currently in mediation with VARSA. At VYFS, Lori Means, director of the PlaySpace and Family Education and Support Services, said that unless alternate funding can be secured by next month, the PlaySpace will lose the equivalent of almost three full-time staff members and the center will be able to continue only a fraction of its programs. In April, Means resigned as the CPWI coordinator, though she declined to say why. “I think that it’s a great loss to the community to lose the high level and high

Means said she’s already been informing parents of the impending cuts and almost all of them have been “greatly disappointed,â€? she said. “These services are readily available off-island at many different agencies, but this is the only place on the island,â€? Means said. VYFS is now looking for funding to continue PlaySpace programs, perhaps from private grants, foundations and individual donation, Johnson said. However, the type of funding needed, considered prevention funding, is getting harder and harder to come by, she said. “It’s just much more difficult to provide funding for prevention services ‌ but we’re hopeful,â€?

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption Flynn is a former “tough guy of the hood� who was found hanging out in the the area around the Bone Factory. When he came to VIPP, we discovered that he was not neutered which was the reason for his bad boy behavior. He is neutered now and he has turned into a totally mellow cat who gets along with both girl and boy cats at the shelter. Flynn is a pick-me-up kind of cat who always loves a good pet. He would make a great family pet. Flynn came to VIPP on 4/28/14.
Lionel came to his person as a stray kitten years ago. He was taken to the vet to be neutered but was treated as a stray left to the outdoors. Only, just recently, his person brought him inside to live as a house cat. His person is ill and has moved off the island and Lionel finds himself homeless again. Lionel is a shy but sweet boy who enjoys being petted. Lionel would be best in a quiet home with a person who could give him lots of love. Lionel came to VIPP on 4/17/14.
Dear VIPP, Sunday, May 25th, was the anniversary of my arrival at my Forever Home one year ago, and I wanted to let everyone know how pleased I’ve been with the people to whom you introduced me. They maintain a calm castle, with many patches of sunlight in which to bask. They provide abundant food, and although at my last check-up I overheard a remark about “weight gain� nevertheless I believe I’ve expanded to the proper configuration that compliments my other handsome attributes. Toys are numerous, some of which are stuffed with a delicious substance that is quite amusing to tussle with (particularly at about 4:00 AM). Give my best wishes to all; I hope my story inspires the other cats to make wise choices regarding people.
Higgins
Sincere Purrs,
Higgins
