School district works to increase student safety Officials consider school response to gun violence By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer

Some couldn’t resist dancing on Thursday evening as Ober Park filled with the toe-tapping sounds of the Country Lips, the “outlaw country” band that kicked off this summer’s series of free concerts in the park. “Every band we have this season is a danceable band. We want to get everybody out there having a good time,” said Pete Welch, who with Allison Shirk is organizing the Thursday evening concert series through Vashon Events. Welch said the popular concert series, which is sponsored by the Vashon Park District, is aimed at families, and he and Shirk have lined up some hot acts this summer, including the Bellingham-based Polecat, which will play next on Thursday, July 10, and the Seattle cumbia band The Cumbieros, which will play on Aug. 7. “The lineup is phenomenal,” Welch said. “You can bring the family and have a picnic.” Pictured above, Geo Cheroke and Janet Williams dance at last week’s concert. For dates and information on upcoming concerts in the park, as well as Shakespeare in the Park on July 24, see www.vashonevents.com.
With school shootings frequently in the news, public school officials on Vashon say they are constantly working to increase safety in the schools and will take steps this summer to further boost their emergency preparations. “We think about it every day,” said Michael Soltman, superintendent of the Vashon Island School District. For years, schools have had to comply with several safety-related governmental regulations, but the district has gone beyond those, district officials say, and will work in the coming months on further safety planning, including coordinating with the King County Sheriff’s Office on reducing response times to the schools and evaluating the district’s security planning goals. This summer administrators will also work with the district’s technology experts to ensure
the district is using its technological capabilities to the fullest for emergency purposes. When the school year resumes, administrators will continue training staff in the schools to act autonomously should the need arise. This step is vital, Soltman said, because in past episodes of violence, typically it has not been building security measures and safety plans that have made a difference, but individuals who took action. To that end, he said, district officials would like to equip every adult with information and training to act independently. “It’s become clearer and clearer in an emergency, quick communication and people being practiced adults is key,” he said. “The best thing is to have people ready to act independently.” After the most recent shootings — including one in the Portland area and one at Seattle Pacific University — a national conversation erupted about whether gun violence in schools had increased, or if there is simply more media attention on the incidents that SEE SAFETY, 13
Some pressure water district to restore their flow District says it is addressing the unexpected problem By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
About a month ago, Dave Willingham turned on his water and noticed something different. The water pressure, which was previously fine at his home on Quartermaster Drive, was “absolutely terrible,” he said. Suddenly, Willingham said, he and his wife couldn’t use water in more than one part of their home without seeing it reduced to a little more than a trickle. “You can’t flush the toilet when someone is in the shower,” he said. “This is not
survivable.” Willingham, who co-owns the Vashon Pharmacy, was thinking of calling a plumber when he learned his neighbor down the hill was experiencing the same thing. The two soon discovered that they were among a small but unknown number of Water District 19 customers who lost water pressure as an unexpected result of a recent district project. A few District 19 customers are now upset and looking for answers, including Willingham’s neighbor, Tom Trigg. Trigg, who has been most vocal about the issue, is trying to find others affected and says he may pursue legal action if his water pressure isn’t restored. “All Dave and I want is what we had before,” Trigg said. “We don’t need more.” Water District 19 officials, on the other
hand, say they’re just as surprised as their customers to learn of the problem and they’re now trying to address it. Jeff Lakin, the district’s general manager, said engineers are working to adjust a system of new pressure-reducing valves that was recently activated. They hope most people will see their water pressure improve, he said. However it’s also likely that some will have to learn to live with lower pressure than they had before or replace their own water pipes to get better pressure, as the district believes all are being provided more than the minimum amount of water pressure required already. “We’re basically telling them be patient. We’re still working,” Lakin said. SEE WATER, 18

floating shed was also tied up on the beach for repairs. A Vashon resident recently reported the items on the beach to the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, which gave the information to Sound Action, formerly known as Preserve Our Islands. Amy Carey, director of Sound Action, passed it onto the state. DNR spokeswoman Jane Chavey said that while Choe owns the beach, DNR has a conservation easement there, and the debris violates that easement agreement. DNR sent the marina a notice on June 10 and originally gave Choe 30 days to remove the debris, which the agency considers damaging to marine habitat. However, the agency recently extended that deadline to six months to align with another request from the state Department of Fish & Wildlife, which issued the marina a permit for the dock replacement project. Choe said he plans to have the docks and shed removed by the end of July. — Natalie Martin

The Key to Local painter sets up his own island gallery with a twist Prevention Buy a painting, get a garden, and I plan to sell the flowers when they’ve bloomed,” he said. hen domestic viobike fixed or revel in giant dahlias at new studio By SARAH LOW Staff Writer
A professional artist for 18 years, islander Tristan Ruegamer recently opened his own gallery, a spot that will offer visitors more than just art. The mysteriously named Skunk Works will not only be a storefront for Ruegamer’s paintings, but will also function as a bike shop, selling vintage bikes that the artist has customized and restored, as well as servicing bicycles for islanders. All will happen in a small space in the building that also houses Shear Magic, across from Green Ginger on Bank Road. “I’ve always wanted to work (artistically) on bikes,” said Ruegamer, who has shown his paintings in Seattle and on Vashon. “Everything just happened to line up well to get this going now.” The everything that Ruegamer references includes both the right space becoming available in town as

As for the name, Ruegamer says that Skunk Works is the official alias for a Lockheed-Martin development group that has worked on several famous aircraft designs, including the U-2 , SR-71 Blackbird and F-117 spy planes. “The name implies covert intelligence and interesting operations,” Ruegamer said with a smile. “That’s kind of how I feel about this.” Islander Nicole Vanator, the unique venture’s manager, said that an online store is also in the works. While there are quite a few galleries and another bike shop already in town, the two say they believe they’ll still be able to appeal to a large market. “Between the art, the bikes, the service and the flowers, that covers a lot of bases,” Ruegamer said.

lence is in the news, it’s usually after the worst has happened: a violent assault, an injured child, a murder. So it’s no surprise that when we think about domestic violence interventions we think about police, courts, and hospitals. But what about the role each of us can play? Many of us have either experienced abuse in our own relationships or know someone who has. And often we don’t know what to do about it. Fortunately, in this community, and in every community across Washington State, there is a local domestic violence program: a place where anyone can call—privately and at no cost—to talk with someone about concerns, options, and safety. You don’t have to be the person experiencing abuse to call. Advocates are there to talk with friends and family, neighbors and c ow o r k e r s — a ny o n e — about how to be supportive if someone turns to you for help. But what if we didn’t have to wait until things were awful to intervene? What if we could stop this violence before it started? Domestic violence is preventable and talking with people of all ages about relationships is a key part of prevention. No one is too young or too old to think about what a healthy relationship looks and feels like. It’s never too early, and it’s never too late, to talk about how we deserve to be treated. Conversations build expectations, and talking with our loved ones lets us in on what they’re going through. Imagine how much easier it would be for our friends to turn to us for help if talking about our relationships was something we already did. To find the domestic violence program in your community, visit wscadv. org or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800787-3224 (TTY).

Magnuson to close his medical practice Food bank moves ahead with town garden Staff Writer
SAVE THE DATE! STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL July 18, 19, 20, 2014
The Vashon food bank is moving ahead with creating a large garden at the southern edge of Vashon town, and staff members expect to begin planting there soon. Last February, food bank officials and Norm Mathews — the owner of Vashon Thriftway — reached an agreement that allows the food bank to grow food on the 4.5-acre property Mathews’ company owns behind the IGA shopping center. Since then, food bank staff have been working with King County and making plans to establish its all-seasons garden there. “We are trying to get everything all together and looking to plant in July for winter crops,” said Yvonne Pitrof, the executive director of the food bank. Volunteers for a variety of tasks will be needed once planting time arrives, she added.
Those involved had hoped to move more quickly at the parcel, Pitrof said, but March was exceptionally wet this year, and the land needed to dry out before it could be prepared for the gardens. Also, work with the county took longer than anticipated. “There has been some back and forth, but things are moving forward,” she said. Food bank staff also worked with the King Conservation District and created a farm plan, which shows nearly one and a half acres of crops along with a covered work area, tool shed and flowers and shrubs for pollinators. Pitrof noted that through an island connection, the food bank also received a donation of a large greenhouse from Vibrant Plants in Woodinville. “It’s all good,” she said. — Susan Riemer

WATER DISTRICT 19 CUSTOMERS You may have noticed a reduction in water pressure. No public notice was provided to district customers that water pressure was being reduced. In some cases, the reduction in pressure is significant. It is not clear if fire suppression systems are impacted. Water District 19 published policy is, “The District’s primary responsibility is to provide clean, safe drinking water to the people within our boundaries and to provide a well-maintained infrastructure with fire protection where feasible.” Instead of vigorously pursuing leak detection within its system (7.6%) and replacing undersized asbestos cement pipes as recommended by consultants for DOH, DOE, King County, the district has spent a whole lot of our money ($240,000) on control vaults that reduce water pressure to its customers. Just recently the board approved new water shares. If you have been impacted by the recent installation of pressure control vaults, please contact Tom Trigg via email to document your experience: tomtrigg@ trigginsurance.com. If you are experiencing water pressure problems when taking showers, using your washing machine or heaven forbid, watering your garden, etc., contact the commissioners at the numbers listed below.

Dr. Chad Magnuson will close his medical practice on Vashon next month. Magnuson, a well-liked physican who has practiced on Vashon for 15 years, announced in a letter to patients last week that his last day will be July 31. In an interview with The Beachcomber, Magnuson said that the duties involved with owning a solo family practice have become overwhelming in recent years. Billing, working with insurance providers, participating in audits and keeping records to comply with state and federal regulations have taken up more and more of his time, leaving less time to meet with patients. “I was spending more time than I wanted to spend, and really could spend, on nonmedical things,” he said. Magnuson was recently hired to join a clinic in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood that is owned by Swedish Medical Group. He will start there in September. The move is bittersweet, he said, as he is looking forward to spending more time with patients but will miss his Vashon practice and the approximately 600 patients he leaves behind. “I’m very sad to be leaving my patients, and I feel very grateful for the trust they’ve placed in my care,” he said. Magnuson began working on Vashon in 1999, when he joined Island Family
Medicine, a clinic that was owned by Highline Medical Center. In 2001 that clinic merged with the health center. He left the health center in 2007 to set up his solo practice in town, but remained part of a call group with health center practitioners. “That’s been very mutually advantageous and a group I’ve really enjoyed and very much trusted,” he said. Magnuson said he has enjoyed the pace of his solo practice, as he spends more time with his patients and gets to know them better than he would at a larger clinic. “That way of practice I’ve really liked. It’s a wonderful pace and wonderfully personal and direct care,” he said. “I’ve been privileged to practice that way.” But paperwork, insurance work and other requirements grew more demanding over the years, he said, in part because of constantly changing government regulations related to health care, though not specifically the Affordable Care Act. He noted he believes the regulations are for the most part reasonable, but the work can become a burden for small family clinics, and there’s been a been a significant decline in such practices in recent years. “It’s the preponderance of all these things one has to do in health care now that have made it a burden,” he said. Magnuson has invited patients who are interested to follow him to his new office in Magnolia, but he expects that most will not because of the distance.

Discovering the past is a gift in the present
Schools provide one layer of protection on Vashon
Effort to learn family ancestry becomes an unforgettable journey
Whether or not school shootings have increased in recent years, as there has been public debate over, every shooting that happens reminds us how vulnerable our places of education are. Recent shootings in the Portland area and in Seattle have felt especially close to home. Vashon’s public schools have plans in place for responding to a shooting, as required by law, and the schools have taken added security measures to combat such an incident. It’s notable that the school district is now taking the summer to try to make its plans even stronger. The district Most of us can’t influence seems to be approaching gun control law but, like the issue methodically and the schools, we can consider logically, considering what risk factors in our own has helped schools in other incidents, remembering community. our unique situation as an island and connecting with local law enforcement in its planning. Our schools’ preparedness, however, is just one layer in our community’s response to gun violence, and school officials know this. Vashon Islanders can’t do a lot to influence gun control legislation, but we can consider what could play a role in violence in our own town. The school principals say they make an effort to prevent and address bullying and to reach out to students who struggle, for more reasons than one. As an island, we should also reach out to the most vulnerable among us, for instance by continuing to support our social service agencies. Vashon Youth & Family Services is currently looking to restore funding for programs that provided education for parents and support for some of the highest-risk youth on the island. These programs and others help some youth get what they need to stay healthy and make good choices. The district is also smart to consider how weapons are accessed, hoping to start a community conversation and get gun owners who haven’t already done so to think about the best safety practices. Simply restricting access to weapons can prevent a tragedy, and we hope the district gains traction with any effort in this direction. No one measure or even multiple measures will assure that the sort of violent attacks that all too often grab headlines will never happen in our small community. But on an island known for supporting one another, we can work together to further weave a sort of safety net against violence. There are a lot of positive things happening already. Considering what leads to violent outbursts can prompt moves that make for a healthier population in general. Odds are against a shooting on Vashon, but efforts such as planning an emergency response, supporting those most at risk and advocating for gun safety can only lead to positive things and could work to stop other tragedies as well.
Of all the wonderful places to experience in the United Kingdom, which hot spot was at the top of my list when my wife and I journeyed to the British Isles last spring? It was the Bristol Lunatic Asylum, of course. Why this unusual destination? It’s a story that’s all about ancestry and ultimately about family. During visits with my parents in their final years, I jotted down bits of information about various branches of our family tree. One day Mom told me about Mary Egan, my Irish great-grandmother, who married Dr. George Thompson. He directed the Bristol Lunatic Asylum and was killed by a patient who hit him in the head with a flowerpot. Intrigued by this revelation, I posted that tidbit of genealogy on Ancestry.com and was answered by a distant cousin who had traced our Egan lineage back to the 1500s. He also put me in touch with a long-lost cousin in England, who had inherited a cottage full of memorabilia from my mother’s aunt, a family archivist. Her collection was a treasure trove that included letters written by my mother, grandparents, great-grandparents and greatgreat-grandparents. Last April, I was graciously hosted at my cousin’s home in Berkshire. The first evening, we read letters exchanged between my great-grandfather, Dr. George Thompson, and his future fatherin-law Rev. John Egan. I was in awe of their use of elegant Victorian language debating the merits of George marrying John’s daughter Mary, and knew the trip was already a complete success. We made a pilgrimage to the Bristol Lunatic Asylum chapel, constructed during my greatgrandfather’s tenure. There we saw marble altar sculptures immortalizing my great-grandmother as Mary and my grandfather as the baby Jesus. I also vis-
HERITAGE By RICHARD ROGERS ited my mother’s birthplace in Bristol and walked the cobblestone streets of Clovelly, the seaside village where my great-grandparents Mary and George met in 1874. In Dublin, I toured the home of my great-great-grandparents whose neighbors were Oscar Wilde’s family. Genealogy has led me to historical books about my father’s ancestors and to email connections with cousins as far away as Argentina and South Africa. After 10 years of research and archiving hundreds of photos, letters and documents, I published everything I had learned in a book for my family titled “We Made It So Far.” The name is derived from one of my father’s wry sayings. In his later years, when asked how he and Mom were doing, Dad would invariably reply “We made it so far!” That phrase reflects the spirit of my parents’ journey through life, individually and together. They were two amazing individuals from vastly different backgrounds who met through a combination of character, fate and destiny. In 1933 my mom, whose parents were British ex-patriots living in Rio, arrived in Brazil after completing her schooling in England. Sadly, her father died a few days later, on her 17th birthday. The next day, Dad, who was from a family of South Carolina cotton mill workers and the first to graduate high school, sailed into Rio from the United States to begin work with IBM. Looking for an apartment, he found Mom in the courtyard of her home, grieving alone. Dad was instantly attracted to Mom and asked her to go for a walk on the beach. She declined, but in the following months he persisted until her mother, using an English collo-

quialism, said “You should knock my daughter up sometime,” which meant he was formally invited to knock on her door. He did, they began courting, were married, raised a family of five children and were a devoted couple for over 70 years. I would love to have another hour or two with my parents and grandparents to ask questions and listen to more stories of their lives. One day, I still may discover the true heritage of my grandfather, who is said to have been part Cherokee, and learn if my great-grandfather did indeed vanish in the Brazilian jungle while exploring a diamond mine. However, these facts may remain lost in mystery forever. After my parents’ passing, I archived their photos, letters and documents as a way to know them better, keep their memory alive and learn more about myself through my ancestors. This remarkable journey into the past has given me a way to honor my parents and leave, as my legacy, a gift for my family and future generations. Recently, I sent the ancestry book and a collection of scanned family letters to my siblings, nieces, nephews and cousins. My hope is that the stories, genealogy, speculation and imagination will encourage them and their descendants to discover more about our ancestors and be inspired to live life’s journey to the fullest. It means the world to me knowing that my 5-year-old grand-nephew wants to know more about his great-grandpa’s adventures and that my niece will share our family history with her children when they are older. Through DNA analysis, I now know my far-distant ancestors ventured out of Africa 1,000 generations ago. Thanks to them, to those brave souls who left their European homelands to sail to America in the 1700s, and to my dear parents who met by chance in Brazil, I have made it so far. — Richard Rogers is an avid genealogist, web designer and webmaster at VoiceOfVashon.org.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Clinic closure
We were lucky to have Magnuson on the island A shocking and sad day on the island! Dr. Chad Magnuson has folded up practice, but let us look at it another way. This is what America is all about. He created a truly unique model for American health care. He was always far more interested in each of us individually than anything else. As many as 600 of us benefitted directly. He literally saved my life more than once. So if it is that we have lost a truly creative, wonderful man, let us remember how lucky we were to foster an inspiration for us all. Our island is a unique place. It is not at all surprising to me that a “Magnuson” should spring from our shores. Let our young, let us all take pride. Thank you, doctor — you have inspired us all. — Drex Adkison
Bees
Consider the impact of chemicals that kill bees Yesterday I brought home an empty beehive. It consisted of two hive boxes for the bees and a “super” for them to fill with honey so I could have some. This hive was empty. About a month ago, it was full of
bees and looked to be a promising honey producer. It was in full sun as well, and the weather has been good. There was no indication of starvation; the bees were gone. This is my second loss in the past two months. The first was a hive on Maury Island. This hive did not starve for there were frames of honey left in the hive, but all the bees were dead in the bottom board. I have had winter losses, but this unusual in the spring . These losses are disheartening. There is now a family of chemicals produced by Monsanto, Dow and Bayer that kills bees in three ways. Spraying kills the bees directly. The second way is that the chemical is systemic and is absorbed by the plant and exists in all portions of the plant. So if a bee visits a flower for pollen or honey, this chemical is brought back to the hive and spreads death to the rest of the colony. The third way is that the chemicals, and there are a number of them, cause the bee to become disoriented and unable fly back to the hive. Without a supply of honey and pollen, a hive dies. Losses to beekeepers are rising; honey production is plummeting, and use of the chemicals in the “neonics” family is becoming more widespread. Europe has outlawed their use, but the EPA has issued “conditional approval” of their use. We are all at the mercy of these chemical corporations. If it kills bees, what does it do to us? — Bob Dixon

District is working to address water pressure issues In March, Water District 19 finished installing a set of pressure-reducing valves in its distribution system, with the aim of lowering pressure that was in some areas above Department of Health (DOH) guidelines. High pressure increases the chance of distribution leakage, and it also puts appliances, like hot water heaters, at risk. After continuing complaints from residents, the district decided that although the fix proposed by its engineers was elaborate, it should move ahead. The unforeseen consequence of the upgrade has turned out to be that residents in several areas have seen their pressure much reduced from what they were used to before. Even though the new service pressure is within what DOH rules consider the normal range, some of these residents are, entirely understandably, upset to find
VHS Plant Sale Success The Supported Learning Center at VHS would like to thank our generous sponsors for their contributions to our horticulture program and for their ongoing support of student learning. Our first annual plant sale was a huge success and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you to True Value, Thriftway, Island Lumber, Kathy’s Corner and The Country Store from all the students, mentors and staff of the SLC. We would also like to thank all of the wonderful community members for coming out and supporting our program. Happy Planting! SLC staff and students
Thank you, Chicken Plunge Supporters A big thank you goes out once again to our fabulous island community! The Vashon Senior Center’s Chicken Plunge in May was a big success and a whole lot of fun to boot! Thank you to all the folks who took the plunge and secured pledges from friends and family. A special big thank you to Sawbones for donating the money to purchase the t-shirts that the plungers received. We raised the last bit of funds that we needed to complete our kitchen remodel. The Center so appreciates the continuing support of our generous islanders!
Thank you “Spider” Thank you to Lane “Spider” MacLeod and PIE for providing us with four bike maintenance clinics for the McMurray Mountain Biking elective. The students learned how to make some basic diagnoses and tune up their bikes for a safe ride. Some students received free extra maintenance and small repairs from Lane! Also, thank you to Casey Lawrence for helping students adjust their bikes for a comfortable fit, and leading us on four fantastic ICF rides. We would have been lost without you!

it takes longer to fill washing appliances, and that a shower head may not generate the flow it once did, especially if water is being used elsewhere on the property. The district is working with its engineer to adjust the new system in hopes of evening out the pressure differences. More critically, it wants to ensure that during fire flow events or system flushing, the pressure in affected homes does not sink below clear DOH standards. This adjustment period is turning out to be longer and more difficult than we anticipated. The frustration felt by our customers is shared; as we keep trying to work through this trying period, we can only ask for continuing patience. Meanwhile, any affected residents with specific issues should freely contact the district office, where General Manager Jeff Lakin will do what is within his power to help and advise. — Richard Bard, Water District 19 Board President

Grinding or clenching your teeth can lead to cold and hot sensitivity. We see patients every day who are concerned that they have a cavity due to increased cold sensitivity of their teeth. While this is true some of the time, it is often due to gum recession and night time clenching or grinding. When we grind or clench our teeth, it compresses the ligaments that hold our teeth to our jaw. This causes inflammation of the ligaments and puts pressure on the tiny nerves that enter the tooth causing the nerves to become hypersensitive. If this continues, it can lead to nerve death and the need for a root canal. Custom made night guards continue to be the best preventive strategy for night time clenching and grinding.

Do you know Matthew? I would like to COMMEND a great resident of Vashon Island. My wife and I from Seattle biked to the Island to do the loop. I hit a water catch grill and flipped my bike on a downhill section of the highway. My wife, behind me, hit me. We made it to the store and I was covered in blood. At the store the woman who worked there could not have been of more help. We purchased band aids et al., and she gave us water to clean up. She was LOVELY. My bike was basically toast and we were ten miles from the ferry. A gentleman named Matthew saw my wife and me in trouble outside of the store and came up after seeing us with blood everywhere. We had a lot of road rash. He asked where we needed to be and strapped our bikes to the back of his SUV, gave us compassion and took us to the ferry. I was in bad shape and he wouldn’t let me move the bikes and also wouldn’t accept money for his trouble. All we know is that this gentleman is named Matthew, he has been on the Island for four months and he is an electrician. I would like to thank him for his absolute generosity and send him a bottle of wine. We are doing much better the day after and mostly thanks to Matthew. Island Living and great people at its finest. Live on Vashon! Please contact me at Cavanah@hotmail.com if you know Matthew. Shawn Cavanah

For Edwards, whose background is in piano rather than voice, choral singing is a relatively new addition to her career. She’s directed the Fauntleroy Church’s Chancel Choir for the past five years and along with her composing she said she has grown to appreciate the world of choral music.
“What was initially baptism by fire has certainly developed into a passion for the exquisite sounds that emanate from layers of human voices in harmony and dissonance, combinations of both. Now I have the opportunity to bring these (island) scenes to life with voices, harmony, instrumentation and soul,” she said.
Vashon Island Chorale’s 25th Anniversary Celebration concert “Vashon Suite: No Bridges” will be performed at 3 p.m. Sunday at Bethel Church. Admission is free. A second concert will take place at West Seattle’s Fauntleroy Church at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 1. Tickets at the door are $8 for adults and $5 for seniors and students. Children under 12 are free.
Magic takes to the stage with Vashon Dance Academy’s ‘Aladdin’ Magic will take the stage this weekend when the Vashon Dance Academy dances to life the perennially favorite tale of “Aladdin.” Jasmine and Aladdin, along with their exotic pals, the genies and magical wishes, will be joined by the academy’s imaginative renderings of power, snakes, sand dunes and cave spirits, as well as the bedazzling rubies, diamonds and emeralds. A magic carpet and a love potion each save the day. The show is produced by Dance!Vashon, a nonprofit organization that helps to support the Vashon Dance Academy. “Aladdin” is Dance!Vashon’s 17th production. Eva Cyra and Silvia Henley alternate the role of Jasmine. Charlotte Schoen and graduating senior Rachael Thomas share that of Jafara, the traitorous vizier to the sultan. In addition to Thomas, graduating senior dancers include Allison Spencer as Jeannie, Yarden Blausapp as emeralds and Kaia Boonzaier as
the snake charmer. The Vashon Dance Academy students work alongside their teachers to develop original choreography under the artistic direction of Cheryl Krown. Ballet teacher Julie Gibson assists with choreography and the intensive preparation of the show. Krown said the show is a true community production with more than 130 dancers. “We are excited for the audience to enjoy a show that has a high energy mix of romance, conflict, power, friendship and, of course, humor,” Krown said. “Aladdin” will run Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m. plus Saturday and Sunday matinees at 1:30 p.m. All shows will be at the Vashon High School theater. Tickets, $15 for adults, $11 for students, are available at Vashon Bookshop and Pampered Paws. Shows typically sell out.

AROUND TOWN Jim Morrison plays again The American Night is a highly acclaimed tribute act for the 1960s rock band The Doors. The American Night tours throughout the Pacific Northwest and will bring its authentic instruments, costumes and psychedelic lighting used to recreate the experience of a live Doors concert to the Red Bike on Friday at 8:30 p.m. The Doors were the quintessential American rock band of the late 1960s. Their unique sound, which blended elements of rock, blues, jazz, psychedelics, poetry, shamanism, rebellion and live theater has captured the imagination of every generation since the band’s heyday, something The American Night tries to recapture. Opening for The American Night is the band Rooster. Music promoter Pete Welch said this group of musicians packs a wallop. Last year the band cut its beak at the Strawberry Festival’s main stage, the Red Bike and a few sets at the infamous Coop parties. There will be a $5 cover at the door. The

SAFETY CONTINUED FROM 1
happen. Regardless, schools must now work to prepare for and prevent such violence in ways they did not decades ago. In one such example, last year the state Legislature changed the requirements for drills schools must conduct every year, decreasing fire drills and increasing lockdown drills from one to three per year. At Chautauqua Elementary School, Principal Jody Metzger said she initially was upset about that increase because she had disliked having even one such drill with young students. But, she said, over the course of the three drills, she came to appreciate their value. They are done in a calm manner, she said, and staff response times improved greatly from the first drill to the second. That type of practice is important in enabling each faculty or staff member to step into a leadership role if need be, she stressed. “We want to make sure in an emergency, all (adults) are not sheep, but that they are leaders and provide thoughtful leadership,” she said. “People who are empowered to make decisions and practice usually make really good decisions.” Since the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012, nearly 90 percent of schools have tightened their security, according to Campus Safety, a national trade magazine covering school security and safety issues. Metzger noted that is true for Chautauqua, which increased the number of its locked doors following the incident. The most striking safety improvements in the district, however, came with the new high school, which Principal Danny Rock says was designed with safety in mind and is much safer than the former sprawling campus, which had aging facilities, keys readily available and a PA system that did not reach all the buildings. “In the old school, someone could have walked into a classroom, and we would not have even known about it,” he said. “It would have been difficult to respond quickly.” Now, he said, it is possible in a lockdown situation for everyone to be in a contained place, not visible to anyone looking in, and
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
every adult is able to secure students in any classroom. Still, he said, school officials continue to evaluate how best to react in some situations, particularly when students are not in class. “We are continuing to train and do drills so that we can respond well in the moment,” he said. Noting the school has several open spaces, large windows and many doors — all of which enhance learning, but not security — Rock said he believes the costs of security must be considered and weighed. “There is always a balance in my mind between the benefit you get with security measures versus the liability of living and operating in that secured environment,” he said. A locked school does not appeal to him, he added. “The slight increase in safety that we would gain would be outweighed by the cost of having to have students buzzed in,” he said. At all the district’s schools, however, administrators say they are focused on prevention and supporting students who might be struggling with issues ranging from family conflict to substance abuse to depression. At McMurray Middle School, principal Greg Allison said they try to determine how to support each student and work hard to prevent bullying. “We want to make sure that we have a safe and inclusive environment,” Allison said. “The more we can create that, that is a feature of prevention.” Rock concurred, saying he and many others at the high school pay close attention to those students who appear not to connect with others and try to step in with formal and informal support. Soltman noted that the district recently increased its services to students who struggle, including expanding the StudentLink program. The high school has an anonymous tip line, Rock added, and he frequently hears from students through it about other students they might be worried about. One student this year joked about bringing a gun to school, he noted, and intervention was immediate. “We take it very seriously in this day and age,” he said.

Learn more at VashonCenterForTheArts.org
Currently, Soltman said, the school district participates in a program called Rapid Responder, which is managed by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. First responders have access to a multitude of the schools’ information online through the program, ranging from floor plans of all the district’s schools to information on where to shut off the gas. Soltman noted it might be possible for the district to connect its cameras to the site and he will learn more about that and other possibilities this summer as district officials work with the schools’ technology experts. As part of that process, administrators will also consider how best to communicate with staff in an emergency, he said, including the possibility of relaying information via phones and computers. “We will be a more powerful place if everyone can act on immediate information,” he said. Vashon, with its small population, is only served by two sheriff’s deputies at a time, a situation Soltman said he takes seriously. Additional law enforcement assistance could be helicoptered over and land at designated places near the school, he said, but he wants to solidify those plans during the break. Additional emergency medical care could also come from the mainland by boat or air, said George Brown, assistant chief at Vashon Island Fire & Rescue, though it would likely take, at best, 30
Page 13
minutes to arrive. Next year, Soltman noted, the district may undertake emergency exercises, such as a “table top” exercise, where several administrators and faculty plan for different scenarios, and may also run a fullfledged emergency drill. Along with school planning and prevention strategies, he said he would also like to see a forum about guns and best safety practices regarding their use and storage, and he believes the district has a role to play in that discussion. “I think the community has a duty to lock up its guns. I think we can be helpful in raising that awareness. Statistics clearly show that access to guns dramatically increases the odds of gun violence,” he said. “We can set the debate aside, but we can protect our kids by having the best locking systems on our guns.” After the Sandy Hook shooting, Soltman — whose office is at Chautauqua — said he cried when he walked the halls of the elementary school in the days afterward. “I felt so vulnerable,” he said. “How do you stop that kind of insanity?” And then Soltman returned to the idea of prevention. “I think in our community we do a nice job of paying attention to people who suffer. That is the best we can do — take care of each other and be mindful of each other,” he said. “And don’t let it happen here.”

Master rowers see success at weekend regional competition Each rower won at least one medal at the championship meet By JEFF HOYT For The Beachcomber
After months of steady early morning workouts along a 2,000-meter course on Quartermaster Harbor, Vashon Island Rowing Club’s (VIRC) masters women and men finally got to put their conditioning to work with great results last weekend at the 2014 Northwest Masters Regional Championship in Vancouver, Washington. VIRC medaled in 10 separate events, bringing home two gold medals, three silver and five bronze. “It was really pleasing to see that the hard work put in on the harbor this spring paid off,” said Vashon rowing coach Richard Parr. “Every Vashon athlete came home with at least one medal. The weekend performance on Vancouver Lake was led by a dominating performance by Mark Ripley, who crushed the field with a powerful open-water win in the men’s single. Vashon also scored gold in the women’s pair, with Su DeWalt and Mary Rothermel winning by a full boat length. In a race that brought back memories of their victory at the 2006 U.S. Masters National Championship on Seattle’s Green Lake, Bruce Morser and Colby Atwood earned a bittersweet silver medal in the men’s pair. While they were first across the line with a commanding lead, the two were ultimately awarded second place after the finish times were adjusted for age. “The size of the regatta and the skill of the competition have both improved markedly in just a few short years,” said Parr. “Athletes of all ages seem to be discovering what a great sport rowing really is.” Morser and Atwood continued their winning ways, teaming up with Ed Zapel and Bob Horsley to win a silver medal in the men’s quad. The next day, those four men hopped into an eight with Mark Ripley, Chad Magnuson, Mark McKallor, Gary Schoch and guest coxswain Joey Peter of Syracuse, New York, to score another second-place finish for Vashon. VIRC won bronze in the mixed 8, mixed quad and women’s lightweight double. John Singer and Steve Haworth also took bronze in the men’s double, rowing one of the oldest combinations of the regatta at 70 years old. Haworth rounded out the Vashon medal haul with a bronze in the men’s single, his final race for Vashon before moving to

I’m going to miss that a lot when we move to California.” Coach Parr echoed Haworth’s sentiments: “One of the great things about Vashon’s masters team is the real sense of camaraderie. Everyone supports each other both on and off
the water, and the whole experience is just really enjoyable.” Throughout the weekend, competing clubs were overheard marveling at what Vashon has continually been able to accomplish with such a small contingent at Regionals. Haworth’s departure served as a reminder to VIRC members that there’s plenty of room for new adult rowers to join this growing sport on Vashon. Interested new rowers are encouraged to send an email to info@vashoncrew.com. — Jeff Hoyt is a masters rower, who also medaled at the event.

Islander to run endurance race BATTER UP: GIRLS TAKE SECOND Andrew Peet will be the first Vashon Islander to race the historic Western States Endurance Run this coming Saturday. The iconic race, from Squaw Valley to Auburn, California, is the world’s oldest and most prestigious 100-mile trail race and is one of two ultra “bucket list” races on Peet’s calendar. Peet, 55, an emergency room physician, has applied for entry for four years in a row and finally was chosen in the race’s lottery last year. He will be accompanied by his son, Graham Peet, and longtime friend David Levant. Andrew Peet’s goal is to break 24 hours for the race, earning a coveted Silver Belt Buckle (those finishing between 24 and 30 hours earn a Bronze Belt Buckle).
Andrew Peet Graham Peet will be able to pace his father from the town of Foresthill at mile 62 into the night and across the American River to mile 80, where Levant will take over and pace Peet through the night to the finish. Peet will follow in the footsteps of seven-time champion Scott Jurek, who lived at the
hostel on Vashon for a short time in 2007 before beginning his strings of wins and course records at Western States in 2009. Peet began running in 2007, and has since completed a dozen 50k, eight 50-mile and two 100-mile ultramarathon events. After the Western States race, Peet plans to train for another iconic trail race and bucket list item, this time in Europe. Returning to the mountains he used to climb as a college student, Peet will attempt the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc in Chamonix, France, next year. The “UTMB” passes through three Alp countries for a total of 104 miles with more than 31,000 feet in elevation gain. — Bruce Cyra

The district also saw the high pressure cause leaks Islander Kathy Wheaton, however, says the issue is more Low water pressure is a concern, Lipe said, because VIFR uses District 19 fire hydrants to fight fires as well as to fill water tenders to take to fires. He said he is also worried that some home sprinkler systems may not function with low water pressure. to the Lipe contacted District 19 and was assured the problem is being addressed, he said, but he followed up with a formal letter on Friday as well. “This unfortunate development is very concerning to me. ... I have the utmost confidence that restoring water pressure to acceptable levels throughout the District 19 distribution system is of your highest priority,” Lipe wrote in his letter to Lakin. Tom Trigg is also concerned, but said he isn’t feeling as confident that District 19 will address the situation. Water pressure at his house on Quartermaster Drive is now much worse than before, said Trigg, who owns Trigg Insurance. He’s especially concerned that his sprinkler system may not work and that insurance rates could be affected. District 19 has explained the situation to him, but (on Island delivery) he said he’s unhappy they aren’t able to tell him if his pressure will improve and how much. Trigg placed an ad in this week’s newspaper asking others who are affected to contact him as well as District 19 officials. “I want to get feedback from District 19 customers,” he said. “If this is system-wide, I think we need to do someBy Chris Austin (Beachcomber Circulation Manager and puzzle maker extraordinaire) thing, hire an attorney and see if there’s legal recourse to force the district to provide the pressure instead of expand 1 Sponsored by: the system to more customers.” Lakin said that shortly after the pressure-reducing 3 4 2 valves were activated, District 19 realized that some homes 5 6 7 around Quartermaster Harbor, Ellisport and Morgan Hill 8 9 10 had seen large decreases in pressure. There was also inadequate water flow to fire hydrants in the Ellisport area. That 11 problem was soon fixed, and Lakin said all fire hydrants in 13 12 14 the district’s service area have adequate water supply. Powell, the District 19 board member, said that of greatest concern now is that in some areas when fire hydrants 16 15 are in use, surrounding homes will see water pressure drop to below 20 psi. While most hydrants are rarely used, the 17 district is required by law to provide customers with at least www.KingCaramel.com 18 19 30 psi at all times.

Co-op preschool finds new home at former court room A second classroom has been designated just for toddlers, but the room will be open to co-op families when the toddler class, which meets just once a week, is not in session. There will also be a weekly afternoon when co-op parents can drop their child off at the school for child care, she said. The preschool is affiliated with North Seattle College, and Brockway Joyce said they hope to invite some of the professionals who speak at the college to offer public presentations at the new space. There are some new board members with considerable energy and an increase in membership, she noted. “It feels like a time for building,” she added. The school’s members had been happy at the PlaySpace, according Heidi Jackson, the new board president.
School hopes to expand in its new space By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
The Vashon-Maury Island Cooperative Preschool recently relocated from its home at the PlaySpace to the former King County court room at Courthouse Square. “It’s perfect for us,” said Tami Brockway Joyce, who until recently served as the president of the school’s board. The new space has a wall of windows that looks out to trees, she said, and they plan to build a new playground with raised garden beds and fence off a paved area for bike and scooter riding.

But Vashon Youth & Family Services, which owns the building, informed them the agency would likely have to raise the rent because of its recent loss of state funding that had been designated by the Vashon Alliance to Reduce Substance Abuse (VARSA) to go to programs at the PlaySpace. “That got the wheels turning,” Jackson said. “We thought if we need to pay more, what can we get for more?” Jackson and Brockway Joyce credit Tom Bangasser, the owner of Courthouse Square, with working with the preschool and making the move possible. The school is now paying just slightly more than it had been before, Jackson said. “The whole school is jazzed about this move,” Brockway Joyce said.

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption In a behavior unusual for a hobbit, Sam, wondered too far from his home. It seems that Sam, being interested in elves, took a hike to look for one and got lost. Instead of finding an elf, he found a lady who started to feed him. Now the lady has to move and she cannot take Sam with her. Sam is very smart and inquisitive. When you come to his cubbie he immediately comes out to greet you. He would would like to find a home of elves or humans who will take good care of him for the rest of his life. Sam came to VIPP on 5/21/14. “Mickey� is an approximately 6-year-old female spayed brown and white tabby. She enjoys belly rubs, snoozing, snacking on her canned food, and watching birds through the window with those beautiful green eyes. She is FIV + but has generally been very healthy (and just had her teeth cleaned to help keep her healthy in the long run!), and is up to date on vaccinations. Mickey would do well in a quiet, single cat home. She still maintains some of her previous semi-feral “feistiness� at times and will need a patient owner who will give her space when needed. Mickey came to VIPP on 5/10/14.

Dear VIPP, Sassafras
We got Sassafras for Calliope’s birthday in November and she is the perfect cat for Calliope. She snuggles, plays, makes us laugh and even comes when Calliope whistles for her!
Thanks for a great kitty!
