FORGETTING CANCER AT CAMP
75¢
VIFR looks to bolster its medical response Vashon may join south King County’s paramedic program By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer

After a funding crisis put Camp Goodtimes’ future at risk, last week a troupe of young cancer patients, survivors and their siblings again arrived in Burton for a week of fun, support and “a chance to be kids,” according to Rodney Gibson, a counselor at the camp. Another staff member called the camp “the only thing that doesn’t suck about cancer.” Last summer the American Cancer Society announced it would no longer fund Camp Goodtimes and similar summer camps across the country, instead focusing the money on research. Staff, campers and parents quickly formed a nonprofit and staged an ambitious fundraising effort to bring in $400,000 to make the camp, which is free for kids 7 through 17, happen again this year. Funds came in through grants as well as private donations. “We got in by the skin of our teeth,” said camp director Carol Mastenbrook. The new nonprofit, The Goodtimes Project, will now focus its efforts on finding large sponsors who can commit to annual donations to sustain the camp. On Thursday, campers enjoyed a carnival, pictured above. See page 15 for more photos of the afternoon.
Vashon’s fire district is considering merging its paramedic services with south King County’s, a move some say could provide the island with better emergency response capabilities. While there has not yet been an official proposal, officials with Vashon Island Fire & Rescue (VIFR) and King County Medic One are performing what VIFR Chief Hank Lipe calls a comprehensive overview of Vashon’s paramedic program. They believe absorbing Vashon’s eight paramedics into south King County’s rotation of 80 could provide the responders more experience, allow VIFR to focus more on its EMT and firefighter programs and perhaps even bring expanded paramedic coverage to the island. Lipe briefed VIFR’s board on the idea at last week’s meeting and expects to have an official proposal for them to consider in a
couple of weeks. “The rest of the county is getting better service right now,” Lipe said. “We want to be a part of it. … We want to bring that level of service to Vashon.” For years, Medic One — King County’s paramedic program — has contracted with VIFR to provide paramedic services on the island. Vashon’s eight paramedics, highly trained responders who handle the most serious medical emergencies, have the same training and follow the same protocols as those in the rest of the county, but work under VIFR leadership and out of the Vashon station, which receives more than $2 million in county levy funds per year to provide the service. VIFR also uses local levy funds to employ firefighters and emergency medical technicians (EMTs), who are trained to respond to less serious emergencies. In recent years, however, calls for medical emergencies on Vashon have slowly risen, perhaps because of the island’s aging population. What’s more, medical transports have more than doubled in nearly a decade, rising from 271 ferry transports in 2005 to 714 last year. SEE VIFR, 13
Contestants vie for unofficial mayor title Islanders carry on the tradition with extra effort this year By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Susan Riemer/Staff Photo
Candidate Ken Zaglin washes a car in exchange for votes in a campaign fundraiser last Saturday. Zaglin is running for unofficial mayor on the Vashon Schools Foundation ticket.
Several islanders are vying for the position of Vashon’ unofficial mayor and are raising funds for local nonprofit organizations as part of this annual election. This particular campaigning-for-acause began in 2001, when the chamber of commerce and the Eagles club resurrected the unofficial mayor tradition as part of the Strawberry Festival. Six contestants participated, competing for votes that cost a dollar a piece, with
the proceeds going to their designated charity. Among the contestants that year were Sharon Nelson, who launched her political career running on the Preserve Our Islands ticket, but she and her other competitors lost to Olde John Croan, who took the title after running to support the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Since then, islanders have been encouraged to cast their $1 votes early and often and have raised thousands of dollars to support a variety of organizations that serve Vashon — its people and its animals. “It is a great way for nonprofits to engage with the community and get people aware of them,” said Jim Marsh, the executive director of the chamber of commerce, the sponsor of the contest.
“It is an interesting way to raise awareness and raise funds.” In previous years, most contestants relied on money deposited in donation cans around town, and raised — in total — anywhere from just $1,000 in 2007 to more than $9,000 in 2012. That was the year that contestant Hilary Emmer “knocked it out of the park,” Marsh said, by raising more than $8,000 for needed dental care and medical services. More typical amounts raised in recent years range from $3,000 to $5,000, with 85 percent of the total for each candidate going to the designated nonprofit and 15 percent to the chamber. “We spend more than we get back,” said Marsh. “But it’s worth it.” SEE MAYOR, 18

Council passes town plan amendment to allow marijuana business in town
y 3 bed/1.75 bth y 1,640 sq ft y MLS #596270
Distillery also permitted under amendment
However, the company has apparently not moved forward since being selected in the state’s lottery for retail marijuana licenses. Sjardo Steneker, who owns the building, said in an email Friday that he still doesn’t have a purchase and sale agreement and has not heard from the potential buyer. Included in the town plan amendment, which was passed unanimously by the council on Monday, June 23, was a clause that also allows wineries, breweries and distilleries within the boundaries of the plan. Joe McDermott, Vashon’s representative on the council, added the amendment in part so that the Seattle Distilling Company could obtain the proper permits to stay at Center. When the county proposed adding marijuana business to the town plan, it came to light that the distillery was also not technically allowed under the plan. The owners of the distillery are now moving forward with King County to obtain a change of use permit, a permit they say they could have obtained under another category in 2012 but were mistakenly told by King County they didn’t need. Tami Brockway-Joyce, one of the owners, said she doesn’t expect to have any trouble getting the permit now. She and the other owners, who at one point worried they may have to move or shut down, are relieved that the amendment passed, she said. “Now that can go through, and we’ll get it all sorted out,” Brockway-Joyce said. “It’s such a relief.”

Months after a controversial Vashon Town Plan amendment to allow marijuana business in town was first proposed, the King County Council passed the amendment last week. The amendment to the town plan, which is folded into King County’s comprehensive plan, allows marijuana business in Vashon town and at Center in buildings zoned Community Business and Industrial. Marijuana business was previously banned by the town plan, which did not include it on a list of approved uses written in 1996. However, officials who crafted King County’s marijuana zoning ordinances last year said allowing pot business in Vashon town would align the island with the rest of unincorporated King County, where marijuana business is allowed in designated zones. The amendment was first proposed in February, just as a marijuana edibles company was trying to purchase the K2 building. Since then, the company has terminated its contract to purchase the building, citing a long wait time to obtain building permits from King County. Also since then, another company has made moves to put a retail marijuana store in the former Vashon Family Practice building.

Park district looks ahead, hopes to pass two-year financial plan By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Vashon Park District commissioners will vote next week on a financial plan that provides a path the district could take to build a reserve and end its reliance on borrowing money each year. Created by a finance committee that included three park board members and one member of the community, the plan calls for cutting expenses by renting out the Belle Baldwin House at Fern Cove on a long-term basis and increasing revenue by raising user fees, particularly at the park district’s athletic fields. Additionally, the plan projects a modest increase in income from tax receipts, as property values are climbing. It also indicates that the district will need to borrow money this year and next to help tide it over between receiving its biannual tax revenue payments, but after these two years, that practice should no longer be necessary. Some significant capital projects are also accounted for in the document, including building the skate park bowl, completing the remainder of the work required for the VES Fields grading permit and taking care of needed maintenance at Point Robinson. Commissioner Scott Harvey, who chaired the committee, presented the plan at last week’s board meeting, stressing it is not a budget, but a plan built on what he called “reasonable recommendations.” Much more work will be needed between now and when
the budget is created in the fall, he noted, including talking with user groups to get their feedback on raising fees. “This is just the starting point here,” he told the commissioners at the meeting. After the last state audit, the board responded by stating it would create a financial plan and submit it to the auditor’s office by June 30. At last week’s meeting, Harvey indicated he would like the board to vote on the plan that night to meet the deadline, but two of the board members expressed the desire to review it more thoroughly before a vote, delaying its submittal. The plan comes after a rough financial patch for the district, one that is expected to improve at the end of next year, when the $400,000 bond the park district secured for the fields project in 2011 will be retired, according to park district executive director Elaine Ott. Then, the amount of debt the district pays each year will drop from 14 percent of its budget to 3 percent. Joe Wubbold, who served on the finance committee, characterized the recommendations as solid ideas that he expected would have board support, adding that the recommendations either had been voted on by the board already or stood a reasonable chance of passing a board vote. He also reiterated that the plan is not a budget, but shows one way forward. “It is one way that it can be done,” he said. In interviews following the meeting, both

Harvey and Wubbold stressed their belief that users of the fields should be paying more to use them. The cost of maintaining the district’s fields has resulted in a permanent increase to the park district’s expenses, Harvey said. “It is only appropriate that the people who use the facilities pay more,” he added. Historically, Harvey said, field users have paid less in user fees to the park district than students pay in user fees for school sports, and he believes park fees should increase by next year. “My point is (users) should be paying substantially more,” he said. According to the current user fee agreement, nonprofit sports clubs, such as soccer and baseball, can pay the park district either $15 per player each sports season for two practices and one game each week or pay an hourly rate of $5 per hour and $10 per game. Vashon Island school district board member Bob Hennessey, however, said it is difficult to compare the fees the two districts receive. At the high school, he said, students pay $150 to compete in each sport, which covers transportation to away games, a paid coach, equipment and field use. The school district does not apportion a set amount to facility use, as is the case with the park district. Before the park board makes any decisions, Harvey said they will invite users to meet and provide feedback about what they think is a reasonable fee increase. “I am hoping we can craft something that we all think is fair,” he said. Before it began its work, the park district announced that the Finance Committee was forming and invited members of the public with financial acumen to participate. Only two people expressed interest, Wubbold and
Hilary Emmer, a tax preparer and community activist. Emmer joined the committee and attended the first two meetings, which were open to the public. Then in an email to school district officials, she shared information the committee and park board had discussed. Afterward, because of that email, Harvey said he told her that her services were no longer needed. He did so privately, he added, because he respects her work in the community and did not want to say anything negative about her in a public forum. Wubbold voiced his disagreement with the decision both at a public meeting and privately, saying he believes the committee lost in the process. For her part, Emmer said she shared public information with the school district and was surprised to be removed for it. She has allegiance to neither the park or school districts, she said, but to making sure tax dollars are well spent in both places. Overall, Harvey said he is proud of the contributions of the people on the committee, which also included fellow commissioners Bill Ameling and Doug Ostrom. He noted the public’s disgruntlement with the park district for the cost of the fields project and its practice of borrowing money. “This is the first step showing that the park district is listening to its constituents,” he said. Ott also said that her initial review of the plan looked good, though she expects there are areas, specifically maintenance, where additional funds will be needed beyond what the plan suggests. “I love the fact we are being less reliant on debt, and it makes me feel good having a reserve,” she said. “You never know when you are going to need wiggle room in your budget.”

Ideas for names can be submitted until July 18 at www.surveymonkey.com/s/2JNBGG2 or by calling 477-3840. The ferry district will then choose several names to put to a public vote at the end of July. To be considered for the final vote, names must contain regional relevancy and not exceed two words. And though not a requirement, folklore says it is unlucky to name a boat after a living person who will ride it in his or her lifetime.

One side of this cabin was saved, while the deck and the side facing the harbor burned.
Waterfront cabin burns in nighttime fire A fire last week did significant damage to a small house on Quartermaster Harbor. At about 10 p.m. on Wednesday, June 25, Vashon Island Fire & Rescue responded to the house fire on Hake Road near the southern tip of Maury Island. By the time crews arrived with a water tender, the structure was almost entirely engulfed in flames, according to George Brown, assistant chief at VIFR. Firefighters were able to save about half the structure, Brown said, as one side of the cabin, the deck and some of the interior completely burned, but another side of the
cabin still stands. No one was home at the time of the fire, but a resident showed up as crews were on the scene, Brown said. The fire began on the porch, but the source wasn’t clear, Brown said, and as of press deadline Monday, King County fire investigators had not yet determined the cause of the blaze. “A lot of his belongings were saved,” Brown said. “Structurally it’s going to require a total rebuild.” — Natalie Martin

Fishing trip provides good chance for rowing
VIFR sees the complexities of island medical response
The other day I was at my favorite watering hole when the conversation turned to fishing. It got me to thinking that I should impart some of my hard-won fishing wisdom to The Beachcomber faithful, specifically how not to do it. This story unfolds back in the days when I was married. One of the perks of my matrimony was travel. My wife was world-renowned in the area of cleft palates and she traveled the globe teaching the teachers. Occasionally I would get to go, and my job was to look pretty and carry the luggage. One year she was headed to Nepal, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to go fishing. You may be wondering why everybody else goes to Nepal to climb mountains but I go for the fishing. I’ve been asking myself that ever since. I was pretty fed up with the over-fished waters of California. The fish had seen every conceivable ruse to make them bite, and they had become quite jaded. My logic was the Nepali fish would be total rubes and wouldn’t stand a chance against my state-of-the-art rod, reel and lures. Our in-country contact found a small mountain lake with a hotel, and I made plans for a weekend trip. The day arrived, I kissed my wife goodbye then hopped in a pedicab for the airport. The local aerodrome was quite different from the international one. It consisted of a rickety shack as the terminal, a grass runway and a plane so old its first pilot was either Wilbur or Orville. I think the pedicab was more technologically advanced. This creaking hulk had a row of seats on each side
Islanders should pay close attention to possible changes coming at Vashon’s fire district, as they could affect who shows up at your door in an emergency. Vashon Island Fire & Rescue (VIFR) is currently working with the county to examine its Medic One program, a tax-funded program that sends highly trained paramedics to the most serious medical emergencies on the island. Officials are considering folding Vashon’s program into south King County’s, meaning we would no longer have Vashon-only paramedics, but a rotating crew from south King County. Vashon could also get an additional paramedic or additional backup for paramedics. All those involved in It makes sense to take these discussions so far seem to have islanders’ a second look at our emergency response system, best interests in mind. After all, this was a proto see if there’s now a better cess started by VIFR. alternative to the status quo. And it makes sense to take a second look at our emergency response system, to see if there’s now a better alternative to the status quo. We are concerned, however, that Vashon joining forces with south King County’s Medic One program could mean that in situations where a patient needs to take an ambulance on the ferry, both paramedics would accompany him or her — rather than just one — which is the traditional medic one way. This greatly benefits the patient being transported, but it presents a big challenge for Medic One, as officials do not want to leave the island without paramedic coverage for any length of time. The county wants to provide Vashon with at least one backup paramedic, but it’s not sure if that paramedic would be stationed on Vashon 24-7 or would rush to the island should a major medical call come in. The situation is a good example of how tricky emergency response is on an island. Unlike towns on the mainland, Vashon doesn’t have mutual aid from neighboring communities — it takes a long time for backup responders to reach us in an emergency. And in medical emergencies, time is of the essence. It may not make financial sense to place a third paramedic on the island at all times, or even every time the other two leave on the ferry, but it could make a difference when it’s needed most. We trust VIFR officials to know the complexities of emergency medical response on Vashon better than anyone, and they don’t want to see us without the best possible paramedic service. We’ll pay close attention to any proposal that comes out. Given what we know so far, there are some clear benefits to the idea, but we would like to see Vashon get better or at least equal coverage out of the deal as well.
HUMOR By CHRIS AUSTIN and three seats at the end. So there was ONE middle seat and guess who got it. I sat in stony silence staring straight down the aisle when it dawned on me that the engines had been running for some time, but we weren’t moving. There was no need to hit the call button and summon the flight attendant because she was sitting right next to me hogging the arm rest. I asked her what the holdup was, and she said there was a cow on the runway. Of course, why hadn’t I thought of that. Grass runways must be a bovine favorite so a cow-strike must be a thing pilots here have to worry about. As soon as we were airborne, my snarky attitude turned to unadorned fear as the crazy mountain turbulence kicked in. While I was cinching down my seat belt and practicing the crash position, the attendant got up and gracefully walked to the cockpit. She parted the beaded curtain that separated the pilots from the yahoos, and I will never forget the image. Both pilots were holding up the newspaper like they were reading at the breakfast table. The entire windshield was obscured. What!? They can’t take turns reading? I felt like marching up there and suggesting that the local cricket tournament wasn’t as important as plowing

The PlaySpace needs our support It broke my heart to hear of the PlaySpace having to cut its programs due to loss of funding. I’m hoping there are angel donors out there that will support this vital program to families with small children. Many of these families
have young parents, are lowincome or single parent, or just needing some extra care. The PlaySpace has offered three generations of our family their services. We enjoyed parent coaching for foster parenting and parent education and support for other family members. Then there is the safe play area. When the weather is bad and for those living in small quarters with few toys, this is a great area for kids.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
STAFF PUBLISHER: ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR: CIRCULATION:
into sherpas, but my legs were numb from the lap belt. The next day I was relaxed and at the water’s edge, renting a rowboat that was the size of a WW II landing craft. For the next two days I fished the top of the water, the bottom of the lake and everything in between. I rowed and fished and fished and rowed. I used plastic worms, spinners, spoons, jigs and every type of plug ever sold. I even tried using my sock, just because. For the entire trip, the only thing I caught was a leech on my toe. I even used that for bait and still came up empty. Yet every night the warm and friendly staff at the hotel offered a communal dinner for the guests, and every night it was fish. I quickly began telling my fellow tourists I was visiting because I heard the rowing was excellent. When it came time to fly back to Kathmandu, I got checked in and began cooling my heels in the terminal. Rereading my ticket, I noticed that it said “first class.” This was back in the dark ages when total strangers screwed up your travel plans, so I didn’t understand what first class meant, since each seat on the plane was as bad as the next. I walked over to a small deli counter and waited for service. It turned out the guy that checked me in also worked the deli. I ordered a coke and as he poured I asked him what on earth paying for a first class ticket gets you. He blinked once and said, “It gets you a free coke.” So the trip wasn’t a total bust.

If we, as a community, don’t intervene when young parents are struggling, who will? Some don’t have the advantage of a support system or nearby extended family. With 10,000 kids in foster care in this state, we need the support of the PlaySpace and all its staff. Please join us in supporting the PlaySpace. — Susan Wolf LETTERS CONTINUE, NEXT PAGE

Fireworks
Consider fire risk this holiday Vashon enjoyed its third year of injuryfree fireworks usage last year; however, there was a fire on July 4. Initially it was thought that a sky lantern had ignited the house, but an investigation revealed that the cause was a spark from yard work activities. Even if you don’t use fireworks, it is a good idea to prepare for fireworks season and reduce the chance of fire. Fire prevention starts with mowing down any tall grass. Before discharge begins, it is a great idea to water it as well. Fireworks season or not, keeping combustible materials such as shrubs and wood piles away from structures is a great preventive step. In the fire last year, a spark caused a wood pile next to a house to smolder for hours before it rapidly combusted and started the house on fire. If you are going to be using fireworks, choose legal fireworks from a statelicensed stand. Statically, illegal products cause almost all of the serious fireworksrelated incidents in our state. If you choose to use fireworks, always keep a charged hose and a bucket of water nearby. Avoid dry areas and places where product could end up in trees. Talk to your fireworks dealer to find out how high and wide your fireworks will go so you can be prepared. If you use a sky lantern, keep in mind that they go sideways even in a gentle breeze. Sky lanterns should only be used at high altitudes and in a wide open space away from trees. Do not use one if it is windy.
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
Be considerate: Discharge is only allowed on July 4. It’s always a good idea to talk to your neighbors about what you are planning so they can be prepared. If your neighbors or their animals are sensitive to noise, please consider quiet fireworks or an alternate discharge location. — Gabriel Felix of Vashon Fireworks Co. and Assistant Chief George Brown of VIFR

Paper misused apostrophe On page 18 of the June 18 Beachcomber, we were informed that Meaghan Connor received a Bachelor of Art’s. I have to know: How many bachelors does Art have? Does Art routinely award his bachelors to people, or is it stiff competition to receive one? What qualities in a person make him or her possible recipients of one of Art’s bachelors? I am sure there are many people in the Vashon community who would be interested in being considered for such an honor, and you might write a follow-up article with the details. Seriously, misused apostrophes are becoming painfully ubiquitous, mostly by their inappropriate presence. I wince when I see them in advertisements. In books, they are often a sign that the rest of the volume is poorly written, as well. Please review the rules for the humble but useful apostrophe. This used to be part of grade school curriculum. It is not rocket science. Those of us in the invisible Society of Apostrophe Lovers will bless you for it. — Debbie Butler
Just Ask Emma Current Real Estate Issues
Q:

To view this blog & make comments, visit www.vashonislandrealestate.com/blog.html
We were a little surprised that you disagreed with the work order list we sent you concerning our home inspection. We just listed those things we thought the seller really should fix. Part of the reason we decided to work with you was that you only represent the buyer and we thought you would be totally on our side with the decisions we made. I guess we just don’t understand your point of view on this.
A:
Representing the buyer often means giving them good advice they may not want to hear. Sometimes it’s obvious stuff like not buying on an active landslide and sometimes it’s more subtle. Your list was very long and included items I would call normal wear and tear. It should be expected that a home that’s been lived in for some time will have a few flaws. An inspection is intended for three things, in my opinion. First, is to find any real “deal killers” that are too expensive, too difficult to fix or even impossible to repair. Those mean you walk away and don’t buy that house. Next would be items that are reasonable to ask a seller to fix or compensate you for, like a bad roof or serious pest issue. Last is the opportunity to learn more about the workings of the structure and potential maintenance needs for the future. Most of the things on your long list are relatively small and don’t relate to the real workings of the house. Scuffed up baseboards can be painted later or replaced. I don’t consider that a work order. They just reflect the fact that people have lived there. Replacing a solid exterior door just because you don’t like that it has a cat door in it, is another item I wouldn’t consider a major flaw. Besides, you may get a cat someday! The bottom line is to ask for the really important items and consider the rest cosmetic flaws you can deal with over time. You have some remodel plans anyway and that will take care of many of the smaller issues.

Teens experience abuse too
O
ne in three teens has experienced some kind of abuse in their dating relationship, according to the American Journal of Public Health. One in three. This includes physical and emotional abuse, stalking, and sexual coercion. Abuse may look different in teen versus adult relationships, but we need to take it just as seriously. The Washington State Domestic Violence Fatality Review has been studying domestic violence–related homicides in our state since 1997. The research shows how early many abusive relationships start. Nine percent of domestic violence homicide victims were under 21 at the time they were killed, and 31% of homicide victims in studied cases were under 21 when they started dating the abuser. Several met in high school or middle school. Researchers found that education about dating violence in schools was not sufficient and often started too late. In their first experiences with dating, these young people did not get critical information about what a healthy relationship is or practical tips on what to do if someone was abusing them. Their parents also did not have the information they needed. Many tried to help, but did not know about resources—like their local domestic violence program—that could help them in their efforts. We can do better. Teens need information, safe options, and support. Dating violence is a complex issue with no one, simple answer, but it is simple for each of us to play a role in teaching teens about healthy relationships. For teen dating violence support, find the domestic violence program in your community at wscadv.org, contact the National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline at 1-866-331-9474, or text “loveis” to 22522.

Artist paints images of coffee with coffee By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
F
or island artist Wendra-Lynne, coffee is much more than a caffeinated drink. It is a sensory experience with an intoxicating aroma and comforting warmth. It is the heart of an industry that connects different communities and ties global cultures together. It is also a medium she sometimes uses for painting. Works of art from her series “Paintings Done in Coffee about Coffee” will be on display for a week at Café Luna.
The petite and energetic artist who goes by the name Wendra-Lynne says she’s been painting all her life, but it wasn’t until five years ago that she ventured into watercolors. After painting a sepiatoned watercolor of a coffee lily growing in Hawaii, her partner suggested she try painting coffee images with coffee. So Wendra-Lynne started to experiment. She mixed coffee grounds into the watercolors to make a paste, added brewed coffee to her watercolors and sprinkled coffee crystals on the paper for textural elements. The overall effect was the look of a handtinted, sepia photograph. Wendra-Lynne studied at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and the University of California at Santa Barbara. She also holds a bachelor of arts degree in art and literature from Antioch College in Seattle. Her education at the art center focused on advertising, which set Wendra-Lynne on a course to became a television art director and set designer for many years, including the first 10 that she lived on Vashon. Though she moved to the island in 1997 — six months after the birth of her

Wendra-Lynne’s “Paintings Done in Coffee about Coffee” will be on display at Café Luna. daughter — Wendra-Lynne regularly commuted back to Los Angeles for projects which took her to cities all over the globe, working on commercial sets with such media luminaries as Ella Fitzgerald, Meryl Streep, Christy Turlington, John Turturro, Tim McGraw and Josh Lucas. Glamorous as that life sounds, WendraLynne found her focus shifting toward
fine art. In her home studio lined with paintings and with trays of watercolors and coffee grounds on her work table, Wendra-Lynne demonstrated her coffee painting technique and talked about her change of heart. “I learned about the business of art through advertising,” she said, “but I never felt good about promoting the prod-
ucts. I thought, okay... I’ll do this work now and then do something I care about later, like the coffee industry. That coffee culture fascinates me — the support for women and fair trade and how it is all shifting. Initially there wasn’t much consciousness (in the business) but now there is.” No longer commuting, Wendra-Lynne says she now feels more connected to the island community. Jumping into a writing role for the Church of Great Rain in the show’s final year, she developed a number of popular comedy sketches and has written three screenplays. Whether writing or painting, the key for Wendra-Lynne is yoga, which she says unlocks her creativity. “I teach and do yoga because that is the foundation of everything I do. It supports my creativity. I believe it is one of our basic needs — to be creative, to relax and to rejuvenate.” She also teaches watercolor classes at her home, at private parties and at wineries. Last year she taught a workshop at Palouse Winery, and on June 30 and July 2, she will teach her watercolor class at Vine to Vashon. “When I teach watercolors, I am not teaching people how to become artists; I am showing them how to do a creative meditation, how to let their minds relax and how to really get their creative needs met,” she said.
Wendra-Lynne’s “Paintings Done in Coffee about Coffee” will be on display at Café Luna beginning Monday, June 30 to Sunday, June 6. For more information, visit www.watercolorsbywendra.weebly.com.
Comedians promise to tickle funny bones at the Red Bike

Cara Rosellini will headline Comedy Night on Saturday, joining a crew of local comics on stage at the Red Bike.
Let a group of island comics and a Seattle headliner tickle your funny bone during Comedy Night, beginning at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Red Bike. Hosted by Vashon’s funny man Steffon Moody, a cast of local comedians — Harris Levinson, Jonathan Kuzma, Michael Whitmore, Caitlyn Marie Little and Richard Franklin Moore — will back him up with their individual acts. Headlining the evening of laughs will be a Seattlite who spent a lot of time on Vashon before making comedic tracks to Los Angeles. Cara Rosellini moved to L.A. for college but stayed after graduation. She began acting, which in her lexicon means making lattes, took some improv classes and watched a lot of comedy. She eventually
began writing and doing comedy sets at open mics. “It was a great creative outlet that was available to me whenever I wanted,” Rosellini said. “From there it evolved into booked shows, roadwork and a great network of stellar comedians. I went back and forth between acting and stand up, then took a break and started a family.” Rosellini and her family moved back to Seattle two years ago, where Rosellini said she began finding small but pertinent windows to resume comedy. — Juli Goetz Morser

More than 100 people crammed into Sporty’s last Thursday to watch the United States Men’s National Team play Germany to advance in the World Cup. Many there were eating pancakes and sipping coffee as they took in the morning’s soccer action. Despite the team’s 1-0 loss to Germany, the men’s team moved on to the Round of 16 and was slated to play Belgium on Tuesday after press time. U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann has reportedly told his players they should expect to play in the final match later this month. Whether or not the team makes it that far, the Vashon Theatre will be open — for free — for spectators to watch the final game of the World Cup on the silver screen. Tickets are required, though, and are already available at bit.ly/vashonworldcup. The game will be Sunday, July 13.

VIFR CONTINUED FROM 1
During a normal transport, one paramedic and one EMT take a patient on the ferry, leaving the island down a paramedic for three hours on average. A second emergency call receives one paramedic and at least one EMT. Officials say the situation isn’t ideal and isn’t how Medic One operates in the rest of King County, where paramedic teams never split up. “Outcomes of patient care are better when you have two paramedics together the entire time during a call,” said Mark Brownell, a paramedic and the battalion chief for emergency medical services (EMS) at VIFR. Also considered a weakness in the program, Brownell said, is that Vashon’s paramedics respond to far fewer calls than those on the mainland and therefore have fewer opportunities to practice their skills. While Brownell has high praise for VIFR’s paramedics, some of whom have decades of experience, he noted that the staffing on Vashon will eventually turn over, and everyone benefits from more on-the-job experience. “When we sit down and analyze the sustainability of the program, there are some holes in the system that we currently employ,” he said. Earlier this year, Brownell and Dr. Sam Warren, VIFR’s medical program director, outlined those holes in a formal letter to King County Medic One, spurring an attempt by both VIFR and Medic One to reexamine the program. “I think it’s time to take a hard look at our paramedic system,” Lipe said. “We need to get ahead of the curve instead of waiting and going into crisis mode.” John Herbert, Chief of King County Medic One, said the county is open to incorporating Vashon into south King County. For years, Herbert said, Medic One officials have been concerned that Vashon splits up its paramedic teams. He also agreed that paramedics benefit greatly from responding to a higher number of calls. He noted that he doesn’t let paramedics work in Enumclaw, the slowest part of south King County, for more than three months a year because of

WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
the low call volume there. “Like anything, if you don’t do it very often, you can’t maintain those skills,” he said. Absorbing Vashon’s paramedics would be fairly simple, Herbert said. After a transition period, the paramedics would likely go into rotation with the rest of south King County’s staff, sometimes working on Vashon and sometimes working in places such as Burien, Kent and Renton. In return, the island would see a rotating crew of paramedics who have been working in south King County. Brownell noted that switching to such a program could mean less personal service, as many of the paramedics assigned to Vashon wouldn’t be as familiar with the island and its residents as the current ones. “I’ve spend the night with people in the process of dying who haven’t signed up for hospice,” he said. “I’ve made meals for people. I’ve done all kinds of things.” In addition, Vashon’s current paramedics are trained to fight fires as well, while those in south King County are not. However, Brownell said fires account for just 10 to 20 percent of VIFR’s calls, and he believes less personal service is a small price to pay for having paramedics with more experience. In addition, all but two of Vashon’s paramedics already live off-island. The big question now, according to Herbert, is what would happen when a patient is transported via ferry to the hospital. Medic One would not split the Vashon paramedics, he said, but they also don’t want to leave the island without paramedic service. Lipe said ideally Vashon would get two more paramedics out of the deal. If there were four on duty at all times, rather than two, he said, transports would be much easier to handle and islanders with serious medical emergencies would more often see two paramedics respond. Herbert said the county will consider adding one additional paramedic on Vashon, but even that is unlikely, as adding one paramedic position means hiring at least four people to fill shifts and could cost more than half a million dollars. The county is exploring other options, Herbert said, including bringing on a paramedic who would serve as back-up but could also fill other roles at the station. They are

also looking at the feasibility of sending an off-island paramedic to the island anytime Vashon’s team leaves on a transport. They’ve even considered sending extra medics quickly by helicopter or boat, though such a plan would be weather dependent. “We’re looking for a 24-7 way to provide that service, regardless of weather or time of day. That’s our challenge,” he said. Lipe said he and Herbert hope to have a plan to present to VIFR commissioners this month. The station will also seek feedback from staff and the public, likely holding a public hearing on the topic. Any plan, Lipe said, would not involve seeking more tax funding from islanders, but ideally would allow the station to focus more of its existing funding on training and supporting EMTs
and firefighters. Before any changes are made, any plan must be approved by VIFR’s board and the general Medic One board, called the EMS Advisory Committee, as well as the King County Council and Executive Dow Constantine. Two VIFR board members, Camille Staczek and Candy McCullough, said they’ve been happy with Vashon’s paramedic service, but they’re willing to consider another direction. McCullough agreed it would be ideal to bring more paramedics to the island, but said she realized that may not be possible given Medic One’s budget constraints. “There’s going to have to be some compromise between having it all and having what we have,” she said. “Everybody is working toward it.”

All types of speedboats have skimmed around the island By BRUCE HAULMAN For The Beachcomber
As Vashon prepares for another earlymorning Fourth of July hydroplane race around the island, it is worth remembering that the hydroplanes are not the only light and fast boats that have skimmed around Vashon. In the 1960s the Boeing Company used the waters off Vashon Island to test the cutting-edge hydrofoils they were developing for both military and civilian use. Vashon’s annual hydroplane race began in 1955, when Roger Stanley made the first hydroplane trip around the island in his Ted Jones-designed hydroplane with a 25-horsepower motor. Someone asked him how long it took, and the urge to race was born. The next year, several others made the trip in their hydros and they all compared notes on their experiences. In 1958, the first race took place on New Year’s Day when Roger Stanley and Warren Bibbins took their hydros around the island. The next year they organized the Island Outboard Race for the Fourth of July, and the annual tradition began. That year, 29 outboard boats (not all hydros) participated in the race. The race has taken place every year since, except 1973 when King County canceled the race because of complaints from some residents about the 6 a.m. noise. Last year, Evan Mattingly won for the second year in a row with a time of 37 minutes, 12 seconds. Around the time Vashon’s race started, in the early 1960s, the Boeing Company began developing hydrofoil technology that took the company’s experience with wings and airflow and applied that expertise to water flowing over a wing-like foil, a hydrofoil. Boeing tested a 20-foot version of a hydrofoil boat, the Little Squirt, in 1962. In 1963 it began testing a 100-mileper-hour version, the Fresh-1, on the waters around Vashon. The old measured mile, a route on the east side of Vashon that had pylons located east of town and one mile north near Dilworth, allowed ships to accurately measure their speed. This was the track run by Fresh-1 on July 18, 1963, when it recorded a speed of 97.6 miles per hour. On its second run, as the boat hit 80 mph, it lost stability and rolled over, with the crew escaping as water rushed into the cabin. No one was seriously hurt, but it ended the U.S. Navy’s attempt to build a 100-mph hydrofoil and focused attention on the 50-mph versions. The Fresh-1 was little more than a 59-foot aluminum catamaran with a Pratt and Whitney jet engine strapped onto the

The Fresh-1, pictured above, crashed off the shore of Vashon in 1963. The Boeing 939 Jetfoil, bottom right, carried up to 400 passengers. And today, islanders continue to race small hydroplanes around the island on the Fourth of July. Evan Mattingly, bottom left, has won the past two races.
hulls and a small cockpit situated on the bow. Boeing then built the USS Plainview at the Lockheed Shipbuilding Company and launched it in 1965. Again, the waters around Vashon and in Quartermaster Harbor became the testing grounds for these new boats. The success of these tests led to the construction of the USS Tucumcari, a 71-foot, 57-ton patrol gunboat that had sustained speeds of 55 mph and was used in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Boeing then built six 131-foot Patrol Hydrofoil Missileships for NATO in 1974. That same year, Boeing built its first passenger hydrofoil, the Jetfoil, which could carry up to 400 passengers. Boeing built 23 of these Boeing 939 boats for passenger
service in Hong Kong, the English Channel, the Canary Islands, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. Washington State Ferries considered using them for passenger-only service, but decided they were too expensive to purchase and operate. These boats were often seen around Vashon as they performed sea trials and refueled at the old Standard Oil Dock located at the current Tramp Harbor fishing pier. Islander Larry Trotter, a teenager in the summer of 1963, had a front-row seat from above KVI beach as the Fresh-1 experimental jet boat made its test runs. He remembers the day the boat crashed. While he didn’t witness the accident, he saw boats gathering out in Tramp Harbor and heard what had happened. “I ran down to the beach and launched
the dingy, rowing far out into the harbor to join the scene. Here were all these big boats around an upside-down hydrofoil,� he recalled. “Fortunately, the cockpit had a floor hatch for the crew to escape. Someone thought I was in the way because this big loudspeaker boomed out, ‘Hey, kid in the red shirt, move back!’ Embarrassed that I had gotten that attention, I turned my little dingy around and moved out.� As you prepare for the buzz of the 6 a.m. hydroplane race this Fourth of July, remember the July 41 years ago, when a different buzz was heard around the island, as Fresh1 was speeding along at nearly 100 mph. — Bruce Haulman is an island historian and Ddrector of the Vashon History Project at www.vashonhistory.com.

Goodtimes brings carnival fun to Burton Last week traditional summer camp activities at Camp Goodtimes — a camp for cancer patients, survivors and their sibilings — were put on hold so campers could enjoy a carnival the camp put on with help from the Bellevue Rotary. Most of the campers started off by getting a silly hairdo from volunteers from Gene Juarez Salons. They then spent the afternoon eating cotton candy and snow cones, playing carnival games, dancing to music booming over loudspeakers and playing on bouncy houses and slip ‘n slides. Last year the camp was defunded by the American Cancer Society, which had supported it for 30 years. But volunteers raised enough money to again offer two one-week camp sessions at Camp Burton as well as a kayaking camp in the San Juan Islands for older campers. For more on Camp Goodtimes and how to support future camp sessions, see www.thegoodtimesproject.org. Natalie Martin Photos

MAYOR CONTINUED FROM 1
This year four candidates — or teams of candidates — have tossed their hats in the ring for the position that has no power, but unlimited prestige. For the first time this year, some of the candidates are hosting fundraising events as part of their campaigns. A car wash for the Vashon Schools Foundation, a fundraiser for candidate Ken Zaglin, was a busy place on Saturday, and a gala at Snapdragon that evening gave a big boost to Adam Cone, Megan Hastings and their dog Lucky, who are running in support of Vashon Island Pet Protectors. Marsh noted he is pleased to see candidates so active in their campaigns this year. “They are excited about it and bringing their creativity to it, which is awesome,” he said. Candidates are allowed to collect money up until 6 p.m. Saturday, July 19. The winner of the title will be announced at 10 p.m. Saturday night at the Strawberry Festival beer garden. After that, the mayoral duties are up to the whoever fills the role. In recent years, the unofficial mayor has issued occasional proclamations and attended ribbon-cutting cer-
Adam Cone, Megan Hastings and Lucky Vashon Island Pet Protectors Adam Cone and Megan Hastings are known to many islanders as the owners of Snapdragon, but they decided to enter Vashon’s unofficial political arena to benefit Vashon Island Pet Protectors (VIPP). “I think they do a wonderful job,” Hastings said of the organization, now celebrating its 30th year. She and Cone have six rescue animals, she said, includ-

ing their dog Lucky, who shares the ticket with them, Lucky was born at a puppy mill without eyes and is also deaf. Cone noted he is glad to share his space on earth with animals and believes it is imperative to be good stewards. “Taking care of our fellow creatures is important,” he added. In addition to hosting their big party last weekend, Cone said they hope to have another smaller event before the festival and may do more in the future at the restaurant for the benefit of animals. Leslie Frye, VIPP’s secretary, said the organization’s board members are pleased the trio is running. “Adam and Megan have always been wonderful supporters,” she said. “We are so grateful for their support of VIPP.” The agency spends the majority of its funds on vet care for cats and dogs, including support for spay and neuter specials and a microchipping program, Frye said. The agency is often called to board dogs, an additional expense, and at the cat house — where up to 50 cats have lived at one time — food, liter and a variety of supplies are always needed. Fellow board member Elaine Summers said that some of the money from the mayoral campaign will go to cover the medical expenses for long-term residents in the cat shelter. “They often need a little more medical and dental attention to keep them happy, healthy and comfortable,” she said.

Caleb Johns, a familiar face to many on Vashon, is a staff member at May Kitchen & Bar and the manager of the Farmers Market. He is hoping to use some of his visibility for a good cause and is running in support of Vashon Community Care. With the birth of his second daughter and the death of his father, Geoff Johns, last year, he said he is contemplating the foundations of this community, where he wishes to live and raise his daughters. While he appreciates the abundance of opportunities for island youth, he sees less support for island elders. “Vashon Community Care is filling a bit of that hole,” he said. “The island has an aging demographic, and we need that help.” Nineteen years ago VCC made a promise that no one would be turned away for lack of funds. It has kept that STORY CONTINUES, NEXT PAGE

promise and is working to develop the financial means to adhere to that promise well into the future. Competitive by nature, Johns said his goal is to raise more than $2,100 — the largest amount any single contestant raised last year. That money will go to the Vashon Community Care Foundation as it works to address the annual budget shortfall at the agency and create a sustaining fund for the future, said Truman O’Brien, the head of the foundation, who noted he is very pleased to have Johns on board. “I am excited to have a young person who is so interested helping the seniors of our community,” he said.
Dorothy Johnson Sunrise Ridge Dorothy Johnson, who recently celebrated her 90th birthday, could be considered one of the mothers of health care on Vashon. In the 1960s, she and her friend Opal Montague established the first clinic on Vashon, and Johnson is credited with convincing the government to turn over the Sunrise Ridge site to the island in 1976. Now, Johnson is running for unofficial mayor to support Sunrise Ridge, which is facing financial challenges. “This is my last act to help them out,” she said. The 17-acre site houses a variety of nonprofits, including the food bank, the Franciscan medical clinic and Granny’s

Attic, which will likely move to a new location in town this winter. The only income the property gets is through rent and donations, but the Sunrise Ridge board has always intentionally kept rents low. “You don’t want to put social service organizations out of business,” Johnson said. Greg Martin, the president of Sunrise Ridge, said the board has earmarked the funds from the campaign to improve the helicopter pad and access to it. Martin noted he is pleased to have Johnson run, noting her history in health care on the island. “If you asked Opal, she would say that Dorothy carried the load,” he said.
Ken Zaglin Vashon Schools Foundation Ken Zaglin, the owner of John L. Scott Real Estate on Vashon for the last 19 years, is a longtime supporter of the island’s schools and is running to benefit the Vashon Schools Foundation. “I am really an ardent supporter of public education,” he said. “The notion of public education is so fundamental.” When the foundation was created in the face of a fiscal emergency at the district, islanders rose to the challenge, but when it became clear

that financial support for the schools was needed on an ongoing basis, some of that energy fell off, Zaglin said. “They could use a boost,” he added. Working in the real estate for so long, he said he has seen how important good schools are, as potential homeowners with children typically ask first how the schools are, and having such a strong school district is part of what makes Vashon a healthy community. Zaglin added he decided on the idea of a car wash — noting that islanders often have dirty cars — and that he recruited help from the high school’s girls’ basketball team as well as some of his staff members. “I am hoping that will have a lot more effect than standing on the street corner with a can,” he said before the event. “I am overjoyed to have Ken’s support,” said Donna Nespor, the administrative coordinator of the foundation. “He is well known on the island, and he is always willing to donate his to time to help kids.” The foundation raised $235,000 this spring, short of its $500,000 goal, and is continuing to raise money to help fund school district priorities for the next school year. The funds Zaglin raises will help in that way. Zaglin noted that one of his competitors is a blind and deaf dog. “Put me down as the other dog in the race,” he said. Earlier indications were that Vashon High School Principal Danny Rock was also going to run, sponsored by the Vashon Eagles, but in support of the Bounty Club, which supports the high school’s football team. Just last week, however, football coach Kelvin Goliday said that the club is in transition and Rock will not run this year.
A grieving prayer for the family & friends of Burdell Hollis who died on Sunday, June 8 after a long illness, and recognition of how Burdell Hollis helped to make this island a better place to live and raise our families.
• Burdell Hollis • Grieving prayers are asked for Myrna Hollis, Burdell’s wife, and all family members, the members of Veterans of Foreign Wars, VFW Post 2826, the American Legion Post 159, the Vashon Eagles #3144, the students, teachers and administrators of our schools, the members of Boy Scout Troop 294 and the individual persons who Burdell helped. Burdell Hollis majored in History at the University of Washington and was a Manufacturers’ Representative and worked in Quality Control at various businesses in the Seattle area. He was a loving husband and father. I, Olde John Croan, had the opportunity to discuss WWII with Burdell when we went to Washington State VFW Conventions. Burdell answered every question that I had. He was and is the best teacher and friend that I ever had. Burdell encouraged Vashon Island students to participate in national and Washington State Youth Essay Contests that were sponsored by the VFW. The students received significant scholarships and recognition that helped them to improve their writing and speaking skills which better prepared them for the job markets and to be the persons that they are capable of being. Burdell also helped many adults receive training to increase their income. Burdell did this to help others, without any benefit to himself, except for the spoken gratitude of those whom he helped. Burdell drove me to VFW meetings at night when driving at night became a problem for me and he helped many other seniors who needed assistance. Burdell was and is loved and respected for being the patriot that he was and is and for helping so many. Myrna Hollis and the Hollis family helped Burdell, in so many ways, to be the person that he was and is. May we all meet in Heaven as grateful servants of our God. Olde John Croan

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption Eli and Wally are the “Odd Couple� of cats. Eli, with the white face, is the Oscar Madison of the two. Wally would be the Felix Ungar character as he is the fastidious one. These brothers were adopted as kittens from Seattle Animal Control in 2000 and they have been with their peeps all their lives. They are looking for a loving home to spend their retirement years. They are indoor cats and perfectly at ease with dogs. They would do best in a quiet home with adults. They came to VIPP on 6/9/14.
Maxie is a 9-year-old Beagle/Dachshund mix, about 40 pounds of faithful affection. He is a cuddler and likes to follow you around the house and take you for walks on leash. He is used to cats and likes children and other dogs. Reliably housebroken, he has all his shots and is chipped and neutered. He needs a securely fenced yard because he loves to go exploring. For more information about Maxie, call 206 463-2608 or email jayandjoanbecker@gmail. com. There is a $125 adoption fee.
Dear VIPP, Lena and Lexi have been in their forever home with us now for about three months, joining their new big sister Lidi. Lena has really come out of her shell, following Lidi around to find all of Lena the best spots to lie, learning to give big morning meows to wake us, and hiding under the bed only to be given away by her giant purrs. Lexi is still a shy girl. She loves heights, hanging out on the highest closet shelf, and enjoys getting pets from a fuzzy wand. At night we hear all sorts of running around and playing and can’t wait to see what is in store for the future. Thank you for taking care of these girls until they could find us.We are having the best time.
Michele and Matt
