Frequent ferry delays are expected to continue By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer

Vashon’s north-end ferry route, which has been plagued by delays, had nearly 500 late sailings last month, more than twice the delays it had in July two years ago. Ferry officials say the frequent delays and resulting long lines will likely continue until this fall, when traffic slows and the route gets a new schedule and a different boat. But even then, they say, there will still be regular delays until the state can fund improvements at the Fauntleroy dock. “We think that’s a key element,” said George Capacci, interim director of Washington State Ferries (WSF). Last month ferries on the Fauntleroy-VashonSouthworth route, often

called the triangle route, left more than 10 minutes late 485 times, or 14 percent of the time, according to data released last week by WSF. In July of 2013, ferries on the route left late 296 times, and in July of 2012 there were just 195 late sailings. Data for June shows a similar picture, with 243 sailings leaving late this June compared with 145 in June of 2012. However, more ferries were late in June of 2013, which had 349 late sailings. Capacci explained on Monday that several factors have contributed to the frequent delays this summer on the triangle route. The route is tightly scheduled, and for some time the state’s aging ferries have had trouble

More than 100 teams will compete next week at the Vashon Sheepdog Classic By SUSAN McCABE For The Beachcomber

“For him, it’s like his best ever bowl of ice cream; he never gets tired of it. For me, the best part is the relationship with my dog.” Christie True’s blue eyes sparkle from her sun-brightened face as she describes the thrill she gets from working with her border collie, Shep.

Farms, joining over 100 other dogand-handler teams from around the country. As True describes it, though, the line between handler and dog can blur when it comes to knowing how to move sheep. Border collies, the most common breed used for sheep herding, are born to the job. “Breeding determines each dog’s level of motivation to herd,” True said last week at her Maury Island SEE HERDING, 20

Program to rent tools gets off the ground Start-up is modeled after successful tool libraries across the country By SARAH LOW Staff Writer

Steve Graham holds a drill that will be available to borrow from the Vashon Tool Library.

In an effort to bolster Vashon’s community self-sufficiency, a group of volunteers has created a tool-lending library where islanders can go to borrow tools for any project. “It just seemed like the perfect idea for Vashon,” said Steve Graham, who is leading the effort under the auspices of the nonprofit Sustainable Vashon. “It fits right in with the current wave of eco-consumers. Sharing hardware and cooperating means fewer resources are used.” Tool-lending libraries are not a new idea. Dating back to the 1970s, there are currently over

50 tool libraries operating in cities and towns across the U.S. The idea is simple — for people to be able to borrow tools the same way they would borrow books from a library. Instead of purchasing the tools needed for one project or that would be used infrequently, members can borrow and then return tools, reducing costs and waste at the same time. The city of Seattle is home to three such libraries, including one of the oldest and most successful in the country, the Phinney Neighborhood Association Tool Library, which was established in 1978. The city of Portland, however, tops the list in its embrace of the idea with six tool libraries, two of which are specialized — one is for nonprofit groups only, and another is specific to kitchen tools and implements. In 2011, Popular Mechanics magazine included the creator of SEE TOOLS, 19

Quartermaster Harbor has been closed for shellfish harvesting after unsafe levels of Diarrhetic Shellfish Poison (DSP) were detected there. The closure last week by the state Department of Health includes the harvest of clams, oysters, mussels, geoduck and scallops. Advisory signs were placed at beaches warning people to not collect shellfish there. It is not yet known how long the closure will last. DSP is a toxin produced by naturally occurring algae. It has been a problem in European countries for some time, but it is an emerging health threat for Washington, according to an announcement from Public Health — Seattle & King County. Anyone who eats shellfish contaminated with DSP is at risk for illness. DSP poisoning symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, with diarrhea being the most commonly reported symptom. Symptoms may appear within minutes of eating con-

taminated shellfish or may take several hours. Symptoms typically last for one day. The toxin is not destroyed by cooking or freezing. Many other Vashon beaches are open to shellfish harvesting, though all island beaches are currently closed for butter clams and varnish clams. Some beaches, particularly on the west coast of the island, are closed due to pollution. Other beaches and bays throughout the region have also been closed to shellfishing due to toxins. DSP closed Discovery Bay on the Olympic Peninsula to shellfish harvesting in late July. Shellfish harvesters are advised to call the DOH Biotoxin Hotline at 1-800-562-5632 or visit the DOH website before harvesting shellfish anywhere in Puget Sound. The DOH website provides a clickable map with information about current closures on Vashon and throught the Puget Sound.

A decade old, Engels show Teens learn farming, business in new program will feature more than cars By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer

By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer

This weekend’s car show at Engels Repair & Towing will include a lot more than cars, with antique tractors, hydroplanes and a vintage semi-truck on display at the annual event. “If you’re into anything that goes bang or vroom, we’re going to have it here,” said Paul Engels, who with his father Lou puts on the show outside their Maury Island repair shop each year. The Engels car show began about 10 years ago and has been organized each year with the help of a small group of islanders, including the late Michael Spakowsky, a local artist and musician who died in January. The group would like to honor Spakowsky with this year’s show, Engels said. “We’re kind of calling this the Michael Spakowsky memorial show this year,” he said. The event has grown in popularity, and now about 70 vehicles attend. Most cars are from Vashon, Engels said, though there are some off-island regulars as well. He emphasized that unlike some car shows, the Engels one includes all types of cars, from classic roadsters to drag racers to more modern or unique cars. There’s no entry fee, Engels said,

and the group tries to make it a fun community event rather than a serious show. “We’ll see cars that are rust buckets to Pebble beach cars,” he said. Organizers also try to offer something new each year, and this summer they decided to invite the Fourth of July hydroplane racers to display their boats. “People can actually see what they look like, rather than just hear them,” Engels said. Last year some local antique tractors were at the show, and the owners gave rides to children. They were so popular that Engels decided to invite them back. “That actually became the hit of the show last year,” he said. There will also be one or two vintage speedboats and likely an 18-wheel semi-truck on display. “It’s nice to see something different,” Engles said. “We try to bring something new every year to have a new show.” The Engels car show will be from 11 a.m. to 4 or 5 p.m. outside Engels Repair & Towing. Admission is free, and the Vashon Grappler Society will sell hot dogs and hamburgers as a fundraiser.

A small but growing program is teaching island teens the ins and outs of farming and business, literally from seed to sale. “It’s definitely helped me progress my knowledge of business and how to get a business started,” said Will Macdonald, a recent Vashon High School graduate who is involved in the program, called Teens in the Field. Since February, Macdonald and a group of about a dozen 11- through 18-year-olds have been tending a large garden at the home of islander March Twisdale. But as the youth are quick to explain, they do a lot more than weed and water plants. With guidance from Twisdale, they’ve formed a small business around their garden, which is largely strawberries. The strawberries have become the makings for fresh strawberry Italian sodas, which the kids sold first at the Strawberry Festival and are now selling at the Vashon Farmers Market each week. “A lot of people don’t give teenagers much responsibility,” said Salina Ellis, a mother who helps with the program, “but we can help them learn to do this.” The kids have learned quickly and now have a hand in everything from purchasing supplies for the sodas to advertising their booth and carefully tracking profits and expenses. The small group holds regular meetings in addition to their work in the garden and sometimes votes when a

They make all the decisions.” Acting under the nonprofit Seeds 4 Success, the group almost recouped its start-up costs selling sodas at the Strawberry Festival. It went into the black, however, at a recent car wash, and any profit made from now until the end of the farmers market season will go straight to the kids. Even the profits are divvied up

using business smarts, with earnings going to each member — and even Twisdale — based on the amount of time he or she has worked and recorded. Román Marquez-Twisdale, a high schooler who is part of the program, said the group hopes to include more teens next summer and is already discussing whether new members will earn the same profits. “It’s also really fun too,” he said. “It’s awesome to hang out with your friends, and the strawberries are delicious.”

After receiving community help, musician hopes album will give back CD proceeds will benefit the Interfaith Council By SARAH SCHWARZ For The Beachcomber

A new CD by islander Arnon Burns is a product of his passion for music, as well as a testament to the community support he’s received in his endeavor. For Burns, the album “Crazy World” is not only a personal accomplishment, but a way for him to give back to the community that he says has given so much to him. For every copy sold, Burns will donate 50 percent of the proceeds to the Interfaith Council to Prevent Homelessness (IFCH). Burns grew up on Vashon and left in 1996 to travel. When he returned in 2011 to visit his brother, he decided to stay. “I had no money and was soon homeless, which was OK because I had my guitar and the winters here are mild,” he said. Burns had recently overcome drug addiction and lifelong depression, had no place to live and no job, but was still the happiest he’s ever been, he said. “I had spent many years hiding in depression, so it felt good not to have anywhere to hide,” he said. Burns was homeless for a year before moving onto a friend’s property. During that time, he used every resource at his disposal to practice and grow his musi-

cal abilities. “I practiced every chance I got. I would sit in the back of the Red Bike every night and plug in my laptop and take guitar lessons on YouTube,” he said. Burns eventually bought a four-track recorder and began to record music at Ober Park late at night or in the post office. When he wasn’t able to play or record, he would write poetry or new song lyrics. Over the last three years, Burns taught himself to play every instrument he would need for an album. He also learned to use all of the technology he would need to record, edit and mix it. “It was me writing, performing, arranging and engineering everything, so I didn’t have to make any compromises or concessions,” Burns said. “It’s my vision in entirety.” Since he moved back to the island, Burns has also regularly attended the Vashon Community Meals Program. Through the program, he got to know Harmon Arroyo, a meals volunteer who helped him with the logistics of creating “Crazy World.” An anonymous donation provided the funds for Burns to create 60 copies of his work. Justin Huguet of Vashon Allied Arts helped him with album artwork, and islander Peter Ray created copies of the CD. While Burns had studied music all his life, in preparation for this album he focused on “the greats, mainly The Beatles, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Led

Zeppelin and Elton John,” he said. The album itself reflects Burns’ lifetime of experiences. Its tone is both playful and dark at times, but has an over-arching theme of inspiration and optimism. The artistic range that Burns has developed is clear throughout the album, with different instruments and styles highlighted on different tracks. Burns plans to continue to focus on music. Once the first 60 copies of his CD are sold, he will use some of his portion of the proceeds to print more, and 50 percent of the proceeds will continue to go to IFCH. He is also already working on a second album, which he describes as “more ambitious than the first,” and also hopes to form a band. “Crazy World” can be purchased at Vashon Island Music. “I couldn’t have done this without the wonder-

Problems are mounting for island health care

One move could bring better ferry service next summer

As a former Vashon medical provider and an ongoing island resident, I am concerned by what appears to be an unraveling of island health care resources. Ten years ago, Vashon had three family medicine practices comprised of 12 practitioners providing a full spectrum of care, including urgent care, after-hours call and care of Vashon Community Care (VCC) residents. Today only one practice comprised of four practitioners provides urgent, afterhours care. Ten years ago, we had eight physicians caring for the residents at VCC. Today there are only four. Vashonites have benefitted from excellent, full-service primary care over the years by skilled and dedicated medical providers. In the “old days,” Drs. Gary Koch, Michael Kappelman and others “did it all,” including emergency care and obstetrics, even traveling into Seattle to care for their hospitalized patients. Today primary care providers are not allocated the time to “do it all.” There is more emphasis on productivity, with most practices expecting providers to see four or more patients an hour. In urban areas, this efficiency is accomplished by pulling more complex care out of the clinics. Higheracuity patients can be seen in urgent care clinics or by specialist physicians or ancillary providers. Nursing homes and hospitals have teams of doctors that provide in-patient care so that primary doctors can remain busy in the clinics. Vashon medical providers

Earlier this year Washington State Ferries garnered praise for doing what state agencies aren’t always known for — listening to public feedback. In an effort to rewrite Vashon’s north-end ferry schedule, they ultimately honored islanders’ requests to not cut trips throughout the day. Instead, they proposed a schedule with only slight changes that they believed would work to alleviate the route’s frequent delays if coupled with changes at the Lawmakers, ferry officials Fauntleroy dock. However, those changes, and community advocates including restoring the for ferry service all agree Washington State Patrol that getting a cadet back cadet who directed trafat Fauntleroy is necessary fic at Fauntleroy, didn’t to get the situation on the come to fruition, as triangle route under control. they required additional state funding that the Legislature apparently didn’t secure. State Sen. Sharon Nelson thought funding for the cadet was approved, and unfortunately The Beachcomber couldn’t get to the bottom of what happened by press deadline. However, one thing is clear: Lawmakers, ferry officials and community advocates for ferry service all agree that getting a cadet back at Fauntleroy to help the ferries unload more quickly is necessary to get the situation on the triangle route under control. It won’t solve the problem, but with a schedule WSF says is more workable and a newer, faster boat eventually coming to the route, it will go a long way to stopping the persistent delays the island has been seeing nearly every weekend this summer and sometimes during the week as well. So many ferry alerts have gone out recently that we’ve quipped they should instead send alerts when the ferries are on time. Washington State Ferries has had some big and arguably more serious problems on its hands this year. The agency has taken criticism for ferry cancellations due to staff shortages. A ferry hit a sailboat in the San Juans. And another ferry died mid-run on a route last month, leaving the system with an unprecedented number of boats out of commission. WSF’s interim director pointed out that Vashon could be worse off. We could be on two-boat schedule. However, the fix to put a cadet back at Fauntleroy would cost about $70,000 a year — pennies compared with the cost of fixing boats or the millions the state is paying to improve the system with new vessels. It’s not clear where the snag in the plan came or why this money may be hard to get, though transportation funding is controversial Olympia. Hopefully the state either corrects any mistake that was made or approves the cadet funding during the next budget session, in time for more reliable ferry service next summer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bees

Local dialogue about pesticides has been productive Many Vashon-Maury residents are concerned about the health of our honeybees, wild bees and other pollinators — it’s been a big topic of discussion for about three years. This summer’s dialogue has been especially productive. Recent meetings have brought together activists, beekeepers, gardeners, orchardists, farmers, retailers and scientists to talk about our concerns related to

pesticides and herbicides. Some retailers have pulled neonicitinoids ± a pesticide especially hazardous to pollinators — off their shelves. All understand the dangers of these and other chemicals and are committed to reducing risks to pollinators, people and our environment. Consumer awareness remains a critical factor in any use of garden chemicals. It’s essential to read labels, follow directions and avoid spraying at times and places where pollinators are active. Homeowners who hire landscapers should make sure those contractors are appropriately licensed for any chemicals

they use. When you buy plants, ask if neonics have been used, and look for pesticide-free plants for your garden. Chemical-free gardening and growing is popular and successful. Local retailers and organizations like the Vashon Island Growers Association and Master Gardeners can answer questions about how to grow both food and ornamentals without chemicals. It’s been heartening to hear such engaged dialogue on this issue. Our community possesses a wealth of knowledge, experience and education. When we listen well, share information and treat each other with respect, we can accomplish wonders. I really appreciate everyone who has participated and supported this process. May it continue to bear fruit! — Margot Boyer

Catholic health care

Group Health petition is successful so far Many Vashon Island members of Group Health Cooperative (GHC) signed our resolution addressing the issue of GHC patients who are referred to Catholic hospitals where care might be restricted by the Ethical and Religious Directives (ERD) of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. We needed 250 signatures of voting members of GHC to validate the resolution in order to present to the annual meeting of members on Oct. 11. Not only did we meet that goal, but we obtained over 500 signatures. And not only that, but the board of trustees of GHC has unani-

mously voted to support the resolution. Still, we need a good turnout of voting members at the annual meeting to vote in favor of the resolution. Its three points are: that all medical staff be trained in the ERD restrictions, that all patients be informed of those restrictions when referred, and that regardless, GHC will provide the full range of legal and medically appropriate care for all its patients. — Kate Hunter

Summer experiences

Outdoor concerts are noisy, but that’s okay I learned some lessons the other night. I had had an intense day (week for that matter), and when I came home Thursday afternoon, I only wanted to drink a beer, soak my feet and listen to some Hungarian Romani music. Ahha, then came the Concert in the Park. I live right behind the stage at Ober Park, and the music seemed totally disruptive to me. I sat down and wrote a letter to the editor of The Beachcomber. Then I sat by my window and watched everyone, people of all ages, having a wonderful time, dancing and laughing. Hmmmm. At that moment, I realized how insipid tunnel vision can be. I laughed at myself and then realized that I had written a cranky letter about the Concerts in the Park. One lesson was about the age of the

Internet. Pissah, write it down, hit send, and it’s gone. I spent the next day trying to prevent the letter from being printed. Another lesson I learned was how helpful and understanding the staff of The Beachcomber can be. — Morgan Ahern

Islanders are friendly, especially to dogs My visit to Vashon has been a story of dogs. This afternoon, I took a walk with my father’s golden retriever, Sage, in order to check the mailbox, which is about a quarter of a mile down a gravel driveway on 236th Street. When we had walked about halfway there, a car driving the opposite way slowed down and the driver rolled down his window. “Have you seen a couple of dogs? A white German shorthair and a Dachshund?” I hadn’t, and Sage and I kept on walking. When we got to 236th, I saw the German shorthair. He was standing in the middle of the street, stopping traffic in both directions. Drivers looked at me, some with a bit of exasperation, while I tried to coax the dog to come. He didn’t. What impressed me was that no one honked. No one shouted. No one swerved around the waiting cars and tore off down the shoulder. On the opposite side of the street, a jogger managed to corral the German

Strawberry Festival

Alternative activities for children were appreciated Strawberry Festival 2014 has come and gone, but the joy my grandchildren experienced in the children’s area stays with me. The climbing tower was brilliant, and the three inflatable activities were so fun. The price of $10 for all day was terrific. The atmosphere was friendly and festive. Absent was the tired, creepy feeling of the carnival. One of the operators of the carnival in 2012 was eyeing my granddaughter until I told him she was only 13 years old. Thank you so much. I hope we can do the same type of activities for children next year. — Wendy Wharton

shorthair to my side of the street and then down our driveway. Traffic began to move. I waved at drivers, and they waved back at me. Meanwhile, I spotted the Dachshund in a nearby field. A man who was finishing his work near the field came around and kindly scooped the Dachshund up in his arms and put him in his truck. We got in too and found the German shorthair had been picked up by the driver of the first car. We handed the Dachshund over and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Vashon is a very good place to be a dog.

My husband would not accept the counter offer from the sellers for a little bit higher price. He just got stubborn and thought the sellers would back down. Instead, the sellers accepted somebody else’s offer and we lost the house. I don’t ever want to go through that again. What can I do to get him to be better prepared for the next time we make an offer? At least I hope there will be a next time.

First, he needs to understand that this is a fast market. For certain kinds of properties there are often bidding wars. A well-priced property will sell in days so he can’t be too stubborn about shaving a few dollars off the price if he really wants a home here. More important is understanding that this is not a contest to see who can hold out the longest. It’s not a competitive sport, it’s buying a home. While he is trying to “strategize” (his word) someone else will buy the house. I’m sorry to say that I’ve seen many buyers who get tangled up in one-upmanship. I think it’s also helpful to put that price difference in perspective. He was trying to cut $4,000 off the price. At the current interest rate that would have saved only about $20.00 per month on the mortgage payment. That’s about the same price as six lattes a month or two glasses of wine at most restaurants. I think having the home you want is far more important, don’t you? Stubbornness can really backfire for buyers in a seller’s market. Of course, since I only represent buyers, I don’t like this kind of market. But the best way to approach an offer is to know the highest price you would be willing to pay for the home. If there are no other offers you might be able to offer a bit less. Otherwise be prepared to pay asking price. There are still some bargains out there, but they may not be the location or type of property that you’ve been hoping for.

New documentary explores issues of war Island veteran served as consultant on documentary By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer

The veteran experience and issues of war will be explored in a documentary shown at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Vashon Theatre. The film “In Country” follows a group of men who reenact the Vietnam War deep in the Oregon woods and is the work of acclaimed filmmakers, one of whom was shortlisted for an Academy Award for Best Documentary in 2012. The film’s band of war reenactors is made up of two Vietnam vets, including one who served with the South Vietnamese Army; veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and men who never served in the military but are drawn to it. Throughout the film, the men confront their own pasts and contend with the pull that engaging in battle still has on them — and why. Islander Christopher Gaynor, who fought in the Vietnam War in 1967 and 1968, consulted on the film, sharing his experiences in the war and the ongoing physical and emotional toll his time there has taken. He believes the finished product, released in April, is a success. “In 80 minutes of film, they raised more issues and asked more questions than most films do on the subject of war,” he said. Gaynor and co-director Mike Attie will attend the screening and host a post-film discussion. Attie, currently of Seattle but soon to be moving to Chicago where he will teach documentary filmmaking at Northwestern University, said filmgoers experience “In

Others see it as a great tribute to veterans,” he said. “Both things can exist.” Attie and co-director Meghan O’Hara began filming the group of veterans in Oregon in 2010 and continued over a two-year period. It took time to earn the men’s trust, Attie said, and the reenactors, each assuming a role, insisted that he and O’Hara dress as Vietnam War correspondents and then treated them accordingly. Along the way, Attie said, he and his team felt both attracted to and repulsed by what the reenactors were doing. The experience forced the filmmakers to ask how to honor soldiers while at the same time hating war, he said, and they wanted to explore why anyone who had endured the trauma of war would want to keep

repeating the experience. “We wanted to ask why people want to be part of this,” he said. While the film focuses on the war reenactors, archival footage from the Vietnam War and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are woven in, along with footage of the fanfare and families that soldiers return to, including a welcomehome celebration at nearby Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Gaynor, who professes to know every frame of the film, said he is also impressed with its technical aspects, including the cinematography and just how much the scenes in Oregon feel like Vietnam. “It fooled me, and I know what I am looking at,” he said. The film has been gaining accolades as it travels the film festival circuit, including garnering a grant from the Sundance Institute and a Tweet from author Stephen King,

who said to his followers “See it if you can.” The film’s subject matter is extremely important, Gaynor stressed, as the United States has 3 million combat vets from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — and on Vashon, as in many communities, they are invisible. “It is too easy for us to live our lives without ever touching the world of combat vets that are all around us,” he said. Attie, who said he is looking forward to the showing on Vashon, noted the film does not tie up neatly at the end. “We want to spark a dialog and let those conversations happen,” he said. “In Country” will show at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 19, at the Vashon Theatre. Admission is free.

Renown guitarist will bring his slack key and more to Vashon

Island musician offers a courtyard show Vashon singer and songwriter Kiki Means will perform from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday in the courtyard behind Snapdragon. Means grew up on the island and has been immersed in music since she was 2 years old. Means’ wide range of covers includes the songs of Schuyler Fisk, Ingrid Michaelson and Gavin Degraw. They have been the mainstay of her repertoire until she recently began her own songwriting.

SAVE THE DATE: Open Space for Arts & Community will present Open Air, the fourth annual outdoor aerial festival with a splash of circus and magic at 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, in the Open Space meadow. Aerialists from the Northwest and beyond perform. Admission is by donation.

Jeff Peterson will play slack key guitar, jazz and classical music at the Blue Heron on Sunday.

One of Hawaii’s most versatile musicians, Jeff Peterson, will bring his slackkey guitar, jazz and classical music to the Blue Heron at 7 p.m. Sunday. Well known in his home state of Hawaii, Peterson’s talent reached national recognition when five of his songs were featured in the Oscar-winning film “The Descendants,” starring George Clooney, and when the film soundtrack was nominated for a Grammy in 2013. Peterson also released his new solo CD “Slack Key Travels” last year, was featured as the first slack-key guitarist on Public Radio’s Performance Today, made two

appearances on Garrison Keillor’s “A Prarie Home Companion” and was selected to represent the USA during a month-long tour throughout Brazil and Venezuela, organized by the State Department for the American Voices series.

“Have you ever known or watched a loved one suffer for many years and finally die a painful death due to COPD?” The majority of all smokers – including many former smokers – eventually develop a disease called COPD which stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It includes emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and asthma. 90% of all COPD is caused by smoking. Studies have shown that the majority of older smokers began smoking as a teenager, who believed that they would quit the habit before any permanent damage was done; however, 50 years later they’re still smoking. In the U.S. alone, more than 25 million people die each year from COPD in addition to the millions of people who suffer each day from COPD. And here’s a staggering fact: As of 2014, COPD has increased to become the 3rd leading cause of all deaths in the U.S.! Now there is an innovative and unique, patented invention named “The Empathy Lungs”® COPD Simulator. It is used for SMOKING PREVENTION AND CESSATION and was invented by two Vashon residents, Raymond Martinez and Linda Ware, B.S.W., B. Ed., C.C.E. Having been a former, on-and-off-again smoker for more than 30 years, Linda personally understands the powerfully addictive process of smoking, as well as the intense difficulty of quitting permanently. You might find it helpful to know that Linda Ware is also the patented inventor of “The Empathy Belly”® Pregnancy Simulator, which accurately simulates over 20 symptoms of pregnancy. For over 20 years, it has been successfully used worldwide to prevent teenage pregnancy, as well as to increase the understanding, empathy, and support of expectant fathers towards what their pregnant partner is experiencing. It is also used by social workers of the U.S. Air Force and Army to reduce or eliminate domestic violence, which they have found increases in many cases once a spouse becomes pregnant. Ever since the front-page story and photograph of The Empathy Belly® soared across United Press International’s wire services, it has been featured in hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles throughout the world! Furthermore, Linda Ware has personally demonstrated The Empathy Belly® on 107 international TV shows (e.g., Good Morning America, CNN, CBS National News, NYC Eyewitness News, The Today Show, The Phil Donahue Show, and Good Morning Britain to name just a few). Since she “was showing up on so much TV”, she was drafted into the actors ’ union of SAG/AFTRA. As such, she has “boot-strapped” her way into learning how to successfully “get the word out” when it comes to socially valuable inventions! Now, with your help, Linda Ware and Raymond Martinez want to use these skills to get the word out about “The Empathy Lungs”® COPD Simulator. When adults or teenagers wear The Empathy Lungs® for even as little as 15 minutes, they will “experience life with COPD” — a kind of “disturbing sneak preview” of their future if they smoke chronically or even inhale 2nd hand smoke for many years. The device is meant to be worn for approximately 10 to 20 minutes, and is comprised of an adaptable, “corset-like Torso Constrictor, two malleable Weights that are strategically positioned right under the wearer’s diaphragm, a customized, Restricted Airway Mask, and a Spirometer to measure the wearer’s

“peak air flow” before and after they wear the device. We are proud to say that ALL of the components of The Empathy Lungs and The Empathy Belly are manufactured here in Seattle (not overseas!), after which they go through quality control measures and then are completely assembled and shipped from Vashon. Then, through medically accurate and realistic simulation, patients or students will feel 10 of the physical and emotional symptoms of COPD including pronounced shortness of breath, “breathlessness” known as dyspnea, shallow upper chest breathing only, wheezing, fatigue, reduced activity, inability to significantly exercise, irritability, anxiety, and the constant emotional distress from the feeling of “not being able to get enough air.” While the person is wearing the device, they are encouraged to try to exert themselves by climbing up and down a flight of stairs, etc., so as to bring out more of the 10 symptoms. They are also given very graphic literature depicting the various negative effects of smoking (including those from second-hand smoke and chewing tobacco), as well as information from The National Lung Health Education Program explaining the facts about COPD. One teenage student who had worn the Empathy Lungs for about fifteen minutes finally concluded that, “I feel handicapped, and sick, and I simply could NOT live this way ‘twenty-four, seven’ – NO WAY!” We at Birthways HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU TAKE TEN MINUTES TO WATCH AN EXCELLENT VIDEO SHOWING THE EMPATHY LUNGS IN USE AT: www.empathylungs.org. The Empathy Lungs® works because it is “handson”, physical, kinesthetic, emotional, and is based on learning through one’s own experience. This motivational teaching tool is used by family physicians, nurse practitioners, pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, smoking cessation class instructors, medical and nursing school instructors, and high school teachers throughout the U.S. and worldwide. This unique, motivational tool is made available to these professionals by BIRTHWAYS INC., which is a PRIVATE NON-PROFIT, (501)(C)(3), TAX EXEMPT, EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION (FEDERAL TAX ID #93-0764727. The full legal name is Birthways Lane County Childbirth Resource Center, Inc. Birthways has been successfully operating for 34 years since Linda Ware founded it in 1980. 23 Years ago, Raymond Martinez joined Birthways, and it relocated to Vashon Island, WA. Until now, it has focused most of its energy on the manufacture and distribution of The Empathy Belly®. But with the incidence of deaths caused by COPD increasing from being the 4th leading cause of death to now becoming the 3rd leading cause of death, we have decided that the time has MOST DEFINITELY arrived to “launch” The Empathy Lungs®!

Therefore, Birthways Inc. is seeking TAXDEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS from our socially conscientious and highly generous community of Vashon residents to use as “seed money”. These funds would be used in part to help the above-named teaching, counseling, public service and medical professionals who honestly cannot afford to pay the full price of the Empathy Lungs Teaching Module. An example would be if a high school teacher or public health nurse can only pay half of the cost, then “matching funds” from donated money will be used to pay the other half In turn, they are asked to send a letter describing how they plan to use The Empathy Lungs to help in the cessation and/or prevention of smoking. Samples of these letters would be sent to any donator who requests them. Throughout the last ten years, a total donation of $100,000.00 from one, retired “Home Economics” high school teacher has been successfully and enthusiastically used ( by this same method of matching funds) to get “The Empathy Belly” Pregnancy Simulator Module into the hands of committed professionals so that they have been able to help prevent teenage pregnancies. You may make your donation by using your PayPal account and directing it to empathylungs@ birthwaysinc.org. You may also mail a check payable to Birthways Inc., at P.O. Box, 2069, Vashon, WA. 98070. If you prefer, you may make your donation via credit card by calling Birthways Inc. at (206) 463-9572; you may also ask to talk to the inventors, Raymond Martinez or Linda Ware if you have ANY questions at all! If you have friends or family who you think might be very empathetic and enthusiastic about our mission, please share this article on your Facebook or Twitter pages! Birthway’s goal is to raise $150,000.00 – you can track our progress on our website! Our mission is simple: To MOTIVATE smokers to quit smoking permanently, and to MOTIVATE adolescents to never begin! I believe that with your help, we can accomplish this vital mission which will improve the lives of millions of people throughout the world! We appreciate ANY size donation that you can afford to give whether it is $5.00 or $50,000. Birthway’s goal is to raise $150,00.00. I BELIEVE IN OUR SYNERGY AND DETERMINATION IN REACHING THIS GOAL!

Together, let’s finally bring an end to smoking! THANK YOU, VASHON www.empathylungs.org 206-463-9572 PAID ADVERTISEMENT BY BIRTHWAYS INC .

Vashon rower earns third medal at junior world competition By PAT CALL For The Beachcomber

Island rower Mia Croonquist has won her third world medal, taking silver in a women’s four at the World Junior Rowing Championships last week in Hamburg, Germany.

For a third year out of the last four, Croonquist, who recently graduated from Vashon High School, was selected to represent the United States at the world competition. And as in her two previous appearances, she brought home a medal to prove it. As the bow rower in an un-coxswained

four, Croonquist had the responsibility to not only pull her oar, but also to steer the course and call the race for her boatmates. This boat was the top priority for the 2014 junior women’s team, and the four seniors delivered on that responsibility. The event at Hamburg’s Dove-Elbe Water Park took place Aug. 6 through 10 and included more than 700 top rowers from 56 countries. Although rowing in Hamburg dates back to 1846, the 2014 course was in a conservation area, meaning that all of the facilities, including the starting platforms and spectator viewing area, were portable and were removed after the racing. On Wednesday, Croonquist’s boat placed first in its heat with the fastest time of all of the boats. In Saturday’s semi-final race, the women again placed first, but this time a team from China, the winner of the other semi-final, had a faster time by 2 seconds, setting up a showdown at Sunday’s final. The U.S. boat got off to its signature

The American boat finished with the silver medal, just 2 seconds behind the team from China. With Sunday’s race, Croonquist ends her junior rowing career with one gold and two silver medals at the world championships, making her one of the most successful junior rowers ever. Her story is even more inspiring as this season’s successes at the local, national and international levels have come after a year of recovery from a potentially career-threatening back injury. After the competition, Croonquist has about a week off before heading to the University of California, Berkeley, where she will row for one of the top women’s college programs in the country.

VYFS seeks to connect islanders WELCOME VASHON INTERVIEW But I think by being optimistic and unafraid to take risks, maybe I can help them feel like they are safe to do the same thing, as well. Because none of us are going to grow if we don’t take risks, and none of us are going to grow if we don’t connect with each other. It is scary to make a connection with another human being and to make yourself vulnerable as they connect with you, but that is the only way we improve our lives. So I would hope that the entire agency can take that step to be a friend and neighbor in the community and make that possible for anyone who wants to engage.

Director says offering services means taking risks, engaging the whole family By JENN REIDEL For The Beachcomber

Vashon’s unique environment and committed community are what drew Kathleen Johnson to apply to be the executive director of Vashon Youth and Family Services (VYFS). She got to know Vashon when her son attended Camp Burton every summer, and as she made friends on Vashon, her connection to the island grew. To her delightful surprise, she got the job and started working in January 2013. Born and raised in Chicago, Johnson came to the Northwest to earn her law degree. She practiced law for five years and then 14 years ago switched to nonprofit work. She says she is looking forward to island life with her family and owning goats. Jenn Reidel: What does welcoming mean to you personally? Kathleen Johnson: As a new person here, I am grateful people are talking about welcoming. It is a scary thing to join a new community and wonder where you are going to fit in. There is so much going on here, and there is a lot of opportunity for people to engage. Keeping that welcoming spirit up is really a wonderful thing. You cannot underestimate the power of a warm welcome. It is very important, and it makes an impression on people and their connection to their community. What are your plans for creating a more welcoming culture at VYFS? We are doing a lot of community outreach through our PlaySpace and our Vashon Kids program, which offers before- and after-school care for elementary school children. A lot of people don’t know we do that. The PlaySpace is an entry point for very young children — even prenatal — there are support groups for expectant

How do you perceive VYFS is viewed as welcoming in our community? That is a good question. I am still getting a handle on that. I would like them to view us as a neighbor — to see us as someone they can turn to in a time of need and not be embarrassed or ashamed to ask for help, because that is what we are here for. Also, to turn to us for our afterschool care programs and our family education and support programs. Those are great examples of what we do to enrich people’s lives.

Jenn Reidel Photo

Kathleen Johnson has been the director of VYFS since last year. parents. That is an example of enrichment and prevention rather than intervention and treatment. So for those who are interested in being better parents, we will walk with you until your baby graduates from high school. What are the challenges to the welcoming work that you do? I think after the recession and the economic downturn, people are uncertain and more fearful than they used to be. It is challenging for me to get people to feel confident and optimistic again. And that is not necessarily something I can take from my heart and give to someone else.

Please RSVP by August 25 or Please contact us for more information. (206) 937-2800

In the short time you have been executive director of Vashon Youth and Family Services, what have you found that the agency does best to welcome those in need? I think the thing we do best is the way we wrap our services around someone. So no matter what door they come in — through our parenting programs or if they have mental health concerns and want counseling — there is a very easy route to get them referred over here. Let’s say if their child is involved in disciplinary actions at the school, or they have a chemical dependency issue in the family, we have services for the entire family. We don’t focus on one sector of the community. We focus on everybody in order to build a healthy community because that is how children thrive. — Jenn Reidel is a freelance web designer, fine art photographer and writer who lives on Vashon.

keeping up during heavy traffic or after delays from issues such as emergency medical transports. To make matters worse, vehicle traffic has been increasing slightly, and unloading the vessels takes longer than it did when there was a cadet with the Washington State Patrol directing traffic at the end of the dock during peak times. In July, 84 of the 485 late sailings were identified as caused by heavy traffic, while 193 were accumulated delays, meaning the ferries hadn’t caught up from earlier delays. “It is very complex, and when one vessel is behind a little bit, a car stalls on a boat or there is a long line somewhere, it really affects the dance of vessels we have down there,” Capacci said. In addition, this summer one slip on the Vashon dock is being painted and is sometimes unavailable when needed. And the recent breakdown of the ferry Tacoma on the Seattle-to-Bainbridge route meant Vashon lost the Sealth, which was put on another route in the late July ferry shuffle. It was replaced by the Evergreen State, which was brought out of retirement and recertified by the Coast Guard to fill in. The Evergreen State, built in 1954, is the oldest in the fleet. It must be operated more slowly and can’t catch up from delays as easily as other boats. It will likely be on the Vashon route through October, when another ferry is scheduled to come out of maintenance, according to Ray Deardorf, the planning director at WSF. “It’s fragile,” Deardorf said of the Evergreen State. “We need to treat it tenderly, and we’re restricting top speeds so we don’t damage it.”

track with its latest schedule proposal. However, he said there will continue to be delays as long as the route is served by aging ferries and there is minimal traffic control at Fauntleroy. Beardsley, who is also a commuter, said he thinks increasing traffic on Fauntleroy Way, work on a sewage pump station by the dock and the bus stop at the end of the dock have only added to the problems. “It’s unmanageable by the ferry system. They really can’t do much about it,” he said. The state is currently building two new 144-car ferries to replace the oldest vessels in its fleet and recently secured funding for a third. As new boats are added to the system, the 30-year-old, 130-car Cathlamet will be reassigned to the triangle route, replacing one of the state’s aging 87-car ferries. This ferry swap was originally scheduled to happen in late fall or early winter. However, the state is now unsure how long repairs to the Tacoma will take and how they will affect the rest of the system. As of Monday, WSF was still waiting to learn the extent of the damage to the Tacoma, which lost power mid-route last month and left the ferry system with an unprecedented number of boats out of service. “We’ll have a more crystal clear idea once the repair plan comes along,” Capacci said. Capacci stressed that while he’s bothered by delays on the triangle route, he’s glad the state was able to bring the Evergreen State out of retirement. Otherwise, the Vashon route may have been put on twoboat schedule, a situation he said would have been much worse. “We could be running on two-boat schedule all summer,” he said. “I’d rather be talking about delays with three boats.”

TOOLS CONTINUED FROM 1

the newer West Seattle Tool Library as one of 10 backyard builders who were “changing the world.” “These libraries are great for everyone, not just ‘project guys,’” said Tom Watson, King County’s Recycling and Environmental Services Manager. “The community building aspects are as strong as the waste reduction benefit.” Graham explained that the Vashon project began as an idea two years ago during a seminar for a group called Transition Vashon. “Not much happened for some time, though,” he said. “It was a good idea and people could see the advantages of it. But it’s one thing to get it. It’s another to do the work and actually make it happen.” Despite obvious enthusiasm for the project — about 130 people signed up to be involved — there was a major hurdle. “Space. We needed somewhere to keep and maintain the tools, and we just weren’t able to find any workable options,” Graham said. At one point the group considered sharing a space with the Vashon woodworking co-op, which was also trying to get off the ground. But nothing came together, Graham said, and the tool library moved ahead on its own. To that end, they applied for a King County Community Service Area grant last fall and were awarded $2,500. “I applied for $4,250, so we didn’t get what we asked for, but it was something, enough to get us started at least,” Graham said. It was enough to sign a lease for a space in the O2 building, a large warehouse beside the Open Space For Arts & Community. Graham describes the space they are now leasing as small, but big enough to get the library up and running. He believes their grant money will cover rent through the end of the year. To sustain the project beyond that will be a challenge, said Watson, who is also an eco-consumer columnist for the Seattle Times. He explained that in comparison, the Seattle libraries received very large grants from the city for their operations. “For Vashon, it will be a lot of work and will require regular volunteer support, but I feel confident in its potential for success.” Despite the significant financial hurdle, there is clear optimism about the project’s future. “This is exactly the kind of thing we want to support,” said Merrilee Runyan of Sustainable Vashon. “We’re always looking for great ideas and how we can help make things happen. … This is a small group, but we believe it could be a real catalyst in the community.” While the county grant was small, one vital piece of the project — the online inventory system — has been made accessible free of charge through a contract with the county. Watson said King County, seeing the success of existing tool libraries, decided to promote their establishment as part of an Earth Day campaign this year, and they contracted with the company myTurn.com, a public benefit corporation, to provide the online tool library database for the communities that need them.

“Having access to that online system is critical,” Graham said. “We wouldn’t be able to do this otherwise, due to the cost.” Currently the tool library is only open to accept donations for a few hours twice a week. Graham noted that while the library has already amassed a sizable collection of donated tools, they need a lot more tools of all types to make it sustainable. “We’re hoping to be ready to start lending after Labor Day, but we still have a lot to work out in terms of collecting more tools, figuring out membership or lending fees and how we’re going to set that up, insurance costs and funding just to keep going. ... We need to get serious now,” he said. Watson said that tool libraries are structured in a variety of ways. Some charge an annual membership fee, others don’t charge for membership but charge nominal fees for borrowing, and some have discounts for nonprofits and community projects. “There is a great deal of flexibility in how this can work,” he said. Graham has spoken to the people who run the West Seattle Tool Library about what has and what hasn’t worked, what kinds of tools seem to be most in demand and what kinds of off-shoot projects they have had success with.

“There are wider applications here,” Graham said. “We could set up classes, workshops, outreach projects and support community projects. That is a real strength of this whole idea.” Watson agrees and believes that is one of the biggest benefits of a project like this. “I think the public will love it, especially when it comes to specialized tools that might be harder to come by,” he said. “On top of that, there is the community aspect, and groups like the ‘fixer collectives’ they have at the Phinney and West Seattle libraries (who do repairs) are a big part of that.” While the tool library is not quite ready for prime time, Graham remains positive. “This is very much a seat-of-our-pants operation right now,” he said. “But there are so many good examples of it being successful elsewhere. I’m sure we can make this work.” The Vashon Tool Library is open to take donations on Wednesdays from 5 to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 1 to 4 p.m. at the O2 building. It is accepting hand and electric tools only for the time being. Anyone wishing to make a donation who cannot come during those times can contact the library to arrange for pick-up. For more information or for donation pick-up, see vashontools.org or email info@vashontools.org.

HERDING CONTINUED FROM 1

home, where she trains and lives with Shep. “The challenge for each dog’s human partner is to find the individual dog’s balance between talent and drive.” And that takes time. True spends about four hours a week working with Shep and Dusty, a dog she shares with a friend, during the winter when daylight hours are short. In the spring and summer, the time spent working with the dogs nearly triples. Add that to the time spent caring for the sheep she keeps for herding practice and simple home time with Shep, and this hobby looks more like devotion. “It’s harder than it looks,” True said, “but I work hard, and I like to play hard.” Indeed, True has a big job as director of King County’s Department of Natural Resources and Parks, a post she’s held for the last four of the 30 years she’s been with the department. “I love my job,” she said. “That’s pretty rare, I know. I feel very fortunate.” True started working with the department as an environmental scientist and got hooked on the notion of forest and agricultural open space acquisition. Today she’s responsible for everything the department oversees, including 200 parks, over 200,000 acres of open space and conservation easements and the 800,000 tons of garbage that flows through transfer stations in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties. And she can still say she loves the job, in part because of King County’s people. “In our region, we’re really lucky because people here have a strong environmental ethic,” she said. True and her husband Larry made Maury Island their home 22 years ago, finding it the ideal environment to combine her urban work with a rural lifestyle. It’s also there that she first learned about herding dogs. Starting with Australian shepherds, her Aussie dog Nell herded reluctantly and “only because I wanted her to do it,” True said. Aussies, it turns out, aren’t the most enthusiastic of sheepdogs. “I soon realized I needed a dog with lots

to Vashon in 1946 where she lived for 68 years. She worked as a typesetter for a newspaper in Canada. She also worked at the American Can Company in Seattle, Wax Orchard and K-2 on Vashon. But first and foremost she was a homemaker. She was a member of the Vashon-Maury Grange, an avid square dancer, a member of the Eagles and involved in the Senior Center for 30 years. She enjoyed traveling which included trips to Europe, Mexico, Reno, Las Vegas and a cruise to Alaska. She especially loved visiting family and friends throughout the United States and Canada. She had a competitive soul when playing pinochle, bridge, and other games. She was preceded in death by her husband John Oliver, parents Charles and Angelina Beaulieu, and brothers Peter and Edward Beaulieu. She is survived by brothers Wilfred (Margaret), Marcel (Diane), sister Margaret. She is also survived by her children Margaret Bickel of Vashon, Joan (Lee) Orndorff of Mesa, AZ, John (Cheryl) Oliver of Tucson, AZ, Penny Chapman of Tacoma, eight grandchildren, and thirteen great grandchildren, many nieces and nephews as well as close friends Shirley Rogers and Darrell Warner.

Sneakers and his sister Foxy came to VIPP after their owner moved and could not take them along. Sneakers is shy at first but it doesnâ€™t take long before he rolls over and starts purring up a storm. Sneakers gets along with other cats and he has been around dogs. Sneakers came to VIPP on 7/16.

Foxy earned her name from her being able to outfox her owner in getting her to VIPP to be relinquished. She ended up being left behind after the owner moved and VIPP used a Havahart trap to get her. She settled down and settled in once she got to her foster home. Foxy is a little sprite of a cat who loves to be petted. Foxy came to VIPP on 7/22/14.

Dear VIPP, Kelev (aka Hero) walked into our apartment the first day home like he owned the place, and soon he did. He adjusted to downtown living, elevators, and car trips like a Kelev champ! We did a little research, and found out that Kelev is actually an Appenzeller, which is a small Swiss Mountain Dog, which helped explain some of his quirks, but also helped us know what to expect. Kelev now has a new house in Ballard with a yard and a perch overlooking the front yard, and he spends most of his day keeping the neighborhood safe. Our neighbors tell us they go out of their way to walk by just to see him say â€œhelloâ€? in his own (loud) way. We canâ€™t thank VIPP enough for taking care of him until we could meet him. It really is true what they say--you rescue a dog, and in the end he rescues you.

Ben, Allegra and Kelev
