NO RECORD, BUT A FUN ATTEMPT

Paramedic proposal met with optimism, some concern
By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer

Quartermaster Harbor was a colorful scene on Sunday, as hundreds of people in canoes, kayaks and even stand-up paddle boards joined together just off Jensen Point. The event was an attempt by Vashon Youth & Family Services to break the world record for the number of canoes and kayaks rafted up at one time, while also raising funds for the social services agency. The weekend included camping and a music festival at the Open Space for Arts & Community. With around 250 boats participating, the group fell far short of breaking the current record of 2,099 boats, set by a group in Sutton’s Bay, Michigan. But VYFS director Kathleen Johnson said everyone seemed to have a good time, and the agency made a profit, though she was not yet sure how much. There is already talk of trying again next summer, Johnson said. The coming days will be used to survey participants and organizers about what worked well and what could be improved next time. “We’ve proven that this little island can get people excited about something like this,” she said.

A proposal to absorb Vashon’s paramedics into the south King County paramedic system is garnering mixed responses at Vashon Island Fire & Rescue (VIFR). While many at VIFR say the proposal would address weaknesses in Vashon’s current medical response, some are concerned that the change could mean the island would at times be left without paramedic coverage or that VIFR’s response to other emergencies may be compromised. “It’s not a perfect system, but I think what they’re planning to do is worth pursuing, and they’ll have to make adjustments as time goes on,” said VIFR Chief Hank Lipe. The proposed plan was presented to Vashon’s fire board on Tuesday, Aug. 12, and also discussed at a public hearing it called
for on Tuesday, after The Beachcomber’s press deadline. Jim Fogarty, director of King County Medic One, planned to attend that meeting to answer questions. “This is an issue that’s been around for a long time, and we’re trying to come up with a long-term solution,” Fogarty said in an interview last week. 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 Vashon leadership and out of the Vashon station. VIFR receives about $2 million in annual SEE PARAMEDICS, 20
Vandalism leaves the bike in the tree in poor condition Some say a fence could prevent future problems By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
When Puyallup residents Dylan Hutson and Molly DelDuca took a day trip to Vashon Sunday, seeing the bike in the tree was high on the young couple’s list of things to do. However, when they found the bike tucked in the woods by Sound Food, they were disappointed by what they saw. “It’s not like I’ve seen in the photos,” Hutson said. “It’s still cool, but it’s depressing I guess.”
Recent vandalism has left the bike in the tree mostly missing in the front, with no handlebars, front wheel, fork or fender. While the bike in the tree has lost its handlebars several times over the years, those familiar with the popular attraction say they’ve never seen it look so bad. “It has definitely deteriorated since last year,” said Jim Marsh, director of Vashon’s chamber of commerce. “It’s unfortunate that someone would do that.” Since the bike in the tree was discovered lodged in a fir tree off Vashon Highway decades ago, it has attracted countless visitors, been Natalie Martin/Staff Photo

County plans for reduced bus fare program King County announced last week how it will implement a reduced-fare program for lower-income bus riders by March 2015. King County Metro will be the second major transit system in the nation to offer this type of fare. “This reduced fare program will ensure that those who have lesser means still have access to opportunity,� County Executive Constantine said in a press release. The reduced fare will be $1.50 for those who qualify. It will take effect on March 1, the same day that all regular Metro fares will increase by 25 cents — the fifth fare increase for Metro riders since 2008. In that time, off-peak fares will have increased by 100 percent. Once the plan is implemented, riders who qualify must use an ORCA card and cannot pay with cash. To qualify for the

low-income fare, income must be no more than 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level, or $23,340 for an individual. Creation of a reduced fare was initially proposed by the county’s Low-Income Fare Options Advisory Committee. According to a press release, the committee focused on ensuring that even during Metro’s current funding crisis, adults who earn lower incomes would have affordable transit options. An estimated 45,000 to 100,000 riders will be eligible for the reduced-fare program, and eligibility must be reverified every other year. The task force recommended beginning verification of applications by at least February in anticipation of the program launch in March. The task force also noted that the program will likely need refinements after it is launched.

District 19 resolves water pressure issues brought on by valve project Some problems stemmed from customers’ own pipes By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
About three months after a handful of customers complained that a Water District 19 project reduced their water pressure, district officials say the problems have been resolved. “It’s frustrating, but they did address the issue,” said Kathy Wheaton, one islander who saw the water pressure at her home near Quartermaster Harbor drop after District 19 installed pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) throughout its system. The valve project, which the district began there years ago, was meant to address issues with high water pressure on the outskirts of its service area. District 19 officials say abnormally high pressure in some areas has for years led to leaks in the district’s pipes and in customers’ homes and that many customers have complained. When a series of new pressure-reducing
valves were activated earlier this year, however, at least three island homes saw significant drops in water pressure, and some fire hydrants no longer had adequate pressure. District officials said that due to Vashon’s hilly terrain, the project was more complex than they and engineers hired for the job originally thought and resulted in the pressure inconsistencies. “We never knew there were going to be any negative effects,” said Richard Bard, chair of District 19’s board. After reevaluation by district officials and engineers on the project, the pressure issue in one area was resolved by relocating one of the new valves. At the two other homes, it was discovered that personal pressure-reducing valves installed in those homes long ago had exacerbated the lowpressure situation. At last week’s board meeting, the district’s general manager, Jeff Lakin, explained that a valve and water filter were removed at the home of Dave Willingham. Willingham says his pressure is now almost back to normal. And the district determined that Tom Trigg, who was most vocal about his con-
cerns, also has an at-home valve blocking his pressure, though it is unknown where the valve is located. “From my point of view, it’s not anyone else’s problem now. It’s mine now,” Trigg said. Engineers also recommended that the district install additional PRVs to address some remaining high-pressure areas in the system, but the district is unwilling to put more funds into the project, Lakin said. Bob Powell, a District 19 board member, said he is glad the pressure issues are resolved, but he expressed disappointment with how the project turned out, and particularly that the cost of installing the valves doubled throughout the process, from $120,000 to $250,000. Ten percent of the project’s total was from added engineering and work done after the pressure issues were discovered. Money for the project came out of the district’s capital budget, which is funded by the sale of new water shares. Powell says he believes the district and the engineers could have handled the project better and perhaps should have gotten another opinion before moving forward.
“We’ve learned to take a far closer look at this type of project before moving ahead with it,” he said. However, Lakin and the district’s other two board members disagreed. They said they believe the water purveyor did the best it could with the information it had and they are pleased with the results. It has been about 30 years since the district has done work on its system involving PRVs. “It was way more complicated than they imagined,” said commissioner Jenny Bell, who was not with the district when the project began. “I think that just happens sometimes. You follow the advice of professionals. I don’t have anything but positive to say for the way they made decisions.” Powell noted that the district had the cash to cover the project costs, and while other projects such as water main replacement may have been put off, it also recently retired a loan it’s been paying off at about $100,000 a year. While no decisions have been made, he expects some or all of the funds freed will go to replacing aging pipes. “I anticipate that the maintenance budget will at least double,” he said.

Blooms & Things purchased by owner State budget mix-up brings ferry worker of catering and events business instead of cadet to Fauntleroy dock Company also manages event venue on Vashon Vashon’s longtime floral shop, Blooms & Things, will change hands on Sept. 1, purchased by the owner of Herban Feast, Seattle’s upscale event planning, design and catering company. Carol and Chuck Ahlfors, who owned Blooms & Things for five years, announced in May that they would retire and put their shop up for sale. It will now be purchased by islander BJ Duft, who started Herban Feast in 1999. Duft said that he always wanted to live on Vashon and was finally able to move to the island three years ago. Herban Feast has done business in the Seattle area and on Vashon and is also a member of the Vashon Weddings and Special Events Collaborative that Ahlfors recently spearheaded. Under Duft, the shop will be called Herban Bloom and will remain a florist. It will also sell hand-crafted decor and furniture and offer floral design services for special events both on and off the island.
The shop will be managed by islander Melody Williams, who is the manager of the West Seattle Thriftway’s floral department and has over 30 years of floral design experience. Duft said that he hopes they will be ready to reopen the store in late fall or early winter, after some renovations are completed. Herban Feast also recently announced that it will manage Froggsong Gardens on Vashon as a wedding and event venue. The 3-acre Froggsong Gardens is at the home of Cindy and Steve Stockett. Their elaborate gardens have been featured on the Vashon Allied Arts Garden tour and in gardening publications. The couple has hosted weddings and other events there. Earlier this month Herban Feast announced the property has become one of its three event venues. Its other two venues are both in Seattle. Blooms & Things closed this month, and to kick off their retirement the Ahlfors have been vacationing in California. They plan to settle into their new home in the Renton Highlands upon their return. — Sarah Low

State funds that State Sen. Sharon Nelson (D-Maury Island) believed would fund a cadet to direct traffic at the Fauntleroy ferry dock ultimately went to pay for added ferry staff hours at the dock instead. Nelson announced last spring that as part of the effort to alleviate congestion and ferry delays at Fauntleroy, she and State Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon (D-Burien) had helped secure a $71,000 state budget allocation to restore the Washington State Patrol cadet that once directed ferry traffic during peak hours. However, Nelson said she discovered the budget mix-up after a cadet did not appear at the dock in July and a reporter from The Beachcomber recently inquired. She found there had been a miscommunication in the budget writing process. While she wasn’t sure exactly where the error happened, she said adding the cadet would have actually cost $300,000 and she believes it was an honest mistake that resulted in funds being directed to another purpose. “It wasn’t that someone was trying to
end run Rep. Fitzgibbon or me,” she said. Instead, $71,000 went to Washington State Ferries to pay for WSF staff to direct traffic at the Fauntleroy dock. Marta Coursey, a WSF spokeswoman, said the agency requested $71,000 to pay for a position called a splitter for 21 hours a week at Fauntleroy, another measure it believed would help relieve congestion at the dock. The splitter now works weekdays during morning and afternoon commute hours, standing on the street side of the dock and directing traffic through the ticket booths. Coursey, communicating by email, did not respond when asked if there had been a miscommunication about funding. Nelson said she didn’t support hiring more ferry staff at the dock, but she would advocate again to restore the cadet position. The next legislative session begins in January. “Both Rep. Fitzgibbon and I know that dock, and you need someone at the street,” she said. — Natalie Martin

If you knock out a tooth, the best thing to do is to put it back in. This occurs most frequently to the upper front teeth during sporting events, which is why mouth guards are so important. If a tooth is knocked out and is clean, immediate replacement and a trip to a dental office gives the tooth the best chance of recovery. If the tooth is dirty, rinse it off with milk or saline, and replace it in the socket. If the tooth cannot be replaced, then storing the tooth in milk or soy milk is the next best option — but the clock is ticking. The prognosis of the tooth decreases the longer it is out of the socket. Try not to touch the root and try not to put the tooth in upside down!

Turn to Freecycle for treasures and news
As bike is vandalized, a piece of island life may disappear
Of course you read The Beachcomber. So you consider yourself generally well informed, locally speaking. If there’s something else on Vashon Island that needs knowing or news breaking, you’ll find it out at your favorite coffee purveyor, where other regulars offer appreciation, group therapy and relevant facts. That’s why it may come as a mild shock that you could be missing what’s really going on around here. For example, ask yourself this. Did you know two kombucha babies came out of the jar last night and are available for adoption, or that the search is on for a kombucha mother if anyone has a spare? Kombuchas often make it above the fold, as it were, on Vashon. And were you aware that one of your island neighbors needs multiple used Turkey Basters, (capitol “T,” capital “B”), if anyone has extras hanging around? They’re all ripped from the headlines on Vashon Freecycle, an online Yahoo group open to anyone who is willing to follow a few simple rules and join the group’s commendable mission of keeping usable stuff out of landfills. The simple rules include that every subject line of ever message must begin with OFFERED, TAKEN, WANTED or RECEIVED. No exceptions. They mean it, too. I have yet to do this right in an attempt to get rid of some old kegs that have been in the back field since we moved here. It was my incredible luck one day to see someone WANTED kegs. Unfortunately, WANTED didn’t want kegs with holes in them, so they’re still part of our landscaping. Here’s the other requirement, equally simple, really. All OFFERs and WANTEDs require your neighborhood (Burton, Dockton,
It would be a shame to see the bike in the tree go away. While Vashon undoubtedly has a lot more to offer than a bike that became encased in a fir tree 60 years ago, the bike is one small thing that makes our island different. The bike in the tree is a tourist attraction, but it’s also many people’s first taste of Vashon. In typical island style, there are no signs indicating where bike is — people often The bike doesn’t necessarily the have a hard time finding bring business to the island, it. There is also no signage but it’s simply fun, both for explaining how the bike got there or even namresidents and for visitors, ing it. The bike in the tree and it’s a piece of our island is somewhat mysterious. history. When people find it and learn its story, they feel let in on a small part of island life. Like the director of the chamber of commerce said, the bike doesn’t necessarily bring business to the island, but it’s simply fun, both for residents and for visitors, and it’s a piece of our island history. But lately the bike seems to be succumbing to vandalism. Thieves have taken more than ever, and unlike past vandalism, this time the parts have not yet been replaced. In a similar instance a couple years ago, the exercise bikes at Portage, another island oddity, began to dwindle and then completely disappeared. It was a sorry sight for those who drove by them regularly and enjoyed the quirky Vashon tradition. But eventually some new exercise bikes (and several treadmills) returned to the side of the road, either because islanders cared or maybe because people always have exercise equipment to get rid of. Unlike those bikes, though, when the bike in the tree is gone, it’s gone. Perhaps the bike in the tree has seen its heyday and will eventually be replaced by the next quirky thing that can be written about in tourism publications and articles about weekend trips to Vashon. But it would be sad to see that happen without at least some effort to keep the bike around. Over the years, the owner of Vashon Island Bicycles has replaced parts that have been stolen, and it’s been said that other islanders have done the same. The bike shop is closed now, so it’s possible the same types of parts won’t be as accessible. What should be done to preserve the bike in the tree? That’s where local creativity will hopefully come in. The sister of the bike’s original owner suggested a fence, but there could be other options as well. Or maybe just continuing to replace parts is an option itself. Do you have an old, rusty children’s bike lying around? The bike in the tree is no longer the original bike, but if kept up, it could also come to showcase what islanders are known for — lending a hand to help.
COMMUNITY By MARGARET HEFFELFINGER etc.) in the subject line. Which is why you know that what’s WANTED in Dockton is small maternity pants, someone in Gold Beach OFFERED a 1920s upright piano, a doormat is needed in Burton, and three plastic buckets are available in Cove. This is also why I know it was my Maury Island neighbor who WANTED some plywood scraps and RECEIVED a size 12 wedding dress with a dirty hem. (I admit to being curious rather than informed about what is going on over there.) Group managers include the time to the minute when they post it, making it all late-breaking news. So that’s the what, where and when that legitimizes Vashon Freecycle as a news source. But how about the who and how? You are told who, because rules require the poster’s name, email or phone number. Which leaves the how. That’s determined after you connect, except in cases like free worm casings, where they probably say up front whether they load or you bring a shovel. Of course sometimes even when you are informed you are in the dark.

Ferries
A stoplight would help at the dock All the talk this summer about ferry delays, twoboat solutions, state legislature gridlock and the need to hire back the state patrol cadets seems to overlook the obvious: Why not do what Anacortes did years ago and install a traffic light where the dock meets Fauntleroy Way?
I’m honestly surprised that no one has mentioned this in the recent debate. The expense of installation and maintenance would be far more cost-effective in the long run than the yearly need to seek funding for the cadets from a cash-strapped state legislature and would help alleviate the traffic jams caused when a ferry unloads.

opposite sex and we would like to separate them. Need a small tank to aid in the task.” Wouldn’t life be nice if you could solve your mice problem that easily? To me, that’s the magic of Vashon Freecycle. On a daily basis, it offers to fix problems I didn’t even realize I had or create opportunities I hadn’t known I wanted. Like this. “OFFERED: two inexpensive litter boxes used as planter boxes. The white one has a little dirt in the bottom I didn’t have a chance to wash out but it is just dirt.” Litter boxes as planter boxes. Imagine that! Or on a grander scale: “MANURE! We’re full again! We’ll load it into your truck.” And there’s always the inevitable oneupmanship in pungently full glory: “OFFERED: The highest grade of poop. No bedding, no wood shaves or straw, naturally fed, garden gold.” I can’t guarantee you will always feel happier and smarter after scanning the recent Vashon Freecycle listings. But when you see eight new messages on your email, you might feel a bit giddy at the prospect of being at the top of the news chain and potentially contributing to sustainability on Vashon. However, there’s always this type of posting to take you down a peg and make you thankful you have a regular seat at the Roasterie, where you read The Beachcomber. “WANTED: If you are reading this post, you know what a Plecostomus is. We are seeking a family who will be engaged with caring for him.” Make that espresso a double shot.

A late summer night at the movies brings comfort and tears My face is reflected in the deckhand’s mirrored sunglasses as he motions for me to start my car, a stony expression chiseled in his weathered face. I slip the minivan into gear, my dress shirt sticky with sweat. On the dock, in the full glare of early-evening sun, I pass a pair of chortling dustydiesel busses crowded with a disorderly crush of sweltering commuters. My cellphone skitters across the grey fabric of the passenger seat, chirping as it clatters between the bucket seats. Feeling for the phone amid the crumpled candy wrappers, fast-food receipts and something sticky I can’t identify, I reflexively gun the motor, grimly racing the other drivers to the top of the hill. With my eyes fixed on the road, my right thumb dances on the phone’s lock screen as if tapping through an Arthur Murray Merengue diagram. I surreptitiously scan the text: “Half-way down on the left. Love you.” Several minutes later, I slip the minivan into park, enveloped in a cloud of ocher dust. Shading my eyes with the back of my hand, I trot across the gravel in the sun’s interrogating glare, and in a triangle of shade in front of the theater’s ticket booth, I stoop awkwardly to speak through the stainless steel louver in the center of the
FAMILY LIFE By KEVIN POTTINGER window. “Hi, Eileen. Do you know if Maria left me a ticket?” Eileen confirms that my wife Maria already bought my ticket, and with a smile she hands me a pair of 3D glasses in a blocky-black plastic frame. As I part the faded red velvet curtains, I see the feature is already under way. It’s pitch-black inside the cool, air-conditioned theater, and outlined in the red-cyan layers of anaglyph 3D, an animated dragon dances coyly across the screen. Just seconds out of the dazzling August sun, my eyes haven’t yet adjusted to the dark, and without 3D glasses on, the blurry stereoscopic images are making me cross-eyed. I take several tentative steps in what seems like utter darkness. Calculating that I’m about halfway down the rows of seats, I turn to search for my family. The theater is packed. And like some episode of The Twilight Zone, every face is half-hidden, anonymous behind clunky-

A deep thank you to Dr. Don Wolczko and the staff of Fair Isle Animal Clinic, for their kindness and compassion in coming to our family’s aid in our sad hour of need. Dr. Don, your final care of our beloved Buster was full of love and grace. Buster was such a happy spirit.

black 3D glasses, like those black bars across the eyes in true-crime magazines. Someone taps my hand, and in the inky blackness, a friend’s face swims into focus. She motions me to an empty seat in the middle of her row. “Thanks,” I whisper hoarsely, “but I really need to find Maria and the kids.” Our friend is insistent; there aren’t a lot of vacant seats. Again she gestures down the row, past a line of slouching kids to a single empty seat next to a woman in a pastel sundress and blackframed 3D glasses. I’m still standing self-consciously in the aisle. Little kids are twisting in their seats, trying to see past me. Thinking pragmatically, I decide I’ll wait things out in our friend’s vacant seat. Maybe I can text Maria again. Pushing past pairs of knobby knees to the empty seat, I find that the woman in a pastel sundress and 3D glasses is rather attractive. She offers me her bag of popcorn. “Thanks.” I whisper. I recognize her hands first. It’s Maria. She had been waving at me the whole time. Relieved in one way, but really uneasy in another, I slouch low in the seat and slip on the 3D glasses. After the popcorn’s gone, Maria and I hold hands like highschool sweethearts. Our youngest boy
curls up under my arm. On the screen, good dragons battle evil dragons. A Viking mom and dad reconcile after decades apart. And against my will, I’m totally tearing up. Reminding myself that it’s a cartoon and that I’m a grown man only makes it worse. When the Viking dad gets killed by a good dragon gone bad, hot tears roll down my cheeks. Maria turns to face me, smiling tenderly. Ya big baby. Looking down the row of seats, I see our youngest boy flailing toward us in the dark. The Viking dad death scene must have made him cry, too. I bet he wants to sit with his dad. Oh, wait. I look down at the boy still curled up under my arm. Someone else’s son looks back at me through a pair of clunky-black 3D glasses, several sizes too big. Our youngest boy would rather sit with his mom. The whole row moves over one seat to make room. Oh, well. I guess it takes a village to watch a movie. We file out the doors into a hot August night, still feeling like cartoon Vikings. — Kevin Pottinger, his wife Maria and their four children live on Vashon.

Answering a call for volunteers from Vashon School District facilities director Dave Wilke, about 15 Vashon High School cheerleaders recently spent several hours in 90-plus degree heat repainting the school’s outdoor bleachers. Cheer coach Diana Anderson said that it has been about a decade since the bleachers were last painted. The group ran out of paint after going through about 35 gallons, so Wilke will put out another request to groups that use the fields for help to finish the job.

Open Air: Artists to take flight at weekend festival
The Open Space for Arts & Community invites islanders and guests to come fly with them at its fourth annual outdoor aerial festival, Open Air, this weekend. In the shade of the Open Space’s fir trees with Mount Rainier for a backdrop, an array of aerialists will create a show that over the years has included dancing dragons, summertime snow, magic and poetry. This year, producers and performers Janet McAlpin and Lynelle Sjoberg have invited the best aerial acts in the region along with local favorites, drawing on talent from the UMO School of Physical Arts as well as the Rock Island String Collective
(RISK). This year’s aerial acts will include trapeze artists Duo Volta from Seattle, aerialist Tanya Brno, also from Seattle, and a new trapeze duo, Dizzy Daze. Vashon’s four flying women — Janet McAlpin, Lynelle Sjoberg, Kathy Zybrk and Arlette Moody — will premiere a new bungee dance, Tom Pruiksma will perform his magic tricks, and there will be music by RISK Jr. Maria Glanz, a spokeswoman for the Open Space, noted the skill of the visiting artists. “They truly are world class,” she said.
“They have performed not just in Seattle, but around the country.” Glanz said she does not believe any trapeze artists have performed at Open Air previously, and this year two of the trapeze acts are duos — which adds to the thrill of the art. Audience members are encouraged to bring a blanket for seating. Picnics are welcome, and refreshments will be for sale. Admission is by donation, and no one will turned away for lack of funds. Open Air is also adding two new options for attendees. The Biggest Clothing & Art Swap tables will be open
for trading at 2:30 p.m. Guests can bring clothing to pass on and perhaps find new worn clothing to bring home. At the end of the day, any unwanted items will be delivered to Granny’s Attic. The Open Space is also collaborating with the Vashon Sheepdog Classic, which will take place this weekend as well. A shuttle bus will run from the sheepdog trials at Misty Isle Farm to the Open Space before Open Air begins, and then return people back to Misty Isle after the show. The show will begin 4 p.m. Saturday at the Open Space for Arts & Community, 18870 103rd Ave. SW.
Demonstration will spotlight Native basket weaving

Karen Reed-Peter
In connection with the Heritage Museum’s current exhibit, the Heritage Association is sponsoring an event this weekend that focuses on the Puyallup tribe’s art and design. Traditional Salish Basketry: A Demonstration by Karen Reed-Peter, will run from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday at the Heritage Museum. It is an extension of the show “Vashon Island’s Native People: Navigating the Seas of Change,” which chronicles life of the Sxwobabc, a band of the Puyallup tribe, through photographs, artifacts and historical accounts. The Sxwobabc lived an advanced and sustainable life on Vashon before the white settlement. Reed-Peter is of Chinook, Skokomish and Puyuallap descent. She grew up with Native culture and fine craftsmanship being passed down to her in much the same way skills were passed from grandmother to granddaughter throughout generations of the Native people. Reed-Peter learned to weave from her grandmother, Hattie Cross
(Skokomish), who lived on Wapto Creek, and Beatrice Black (Quiliuete) of Tahola. Other mentors taught ReedPeter how to gather and prepare materials indigenous to Western Washington. On one trip to collect cedar bark, Reed-Peter and her mentors pulled bark in 60-foot strips before bundling the material on their backs and singing a collection songs for the trip back down a steep hillside. They harvested the bark in the springtime, when the bark is easier to lift away from the trunk because of the running of the sap. Reed-Peter’s work is well known and collected by museums and galleries. She gives demonstrations at the Burke Museum during its annual March event, which features Northwest Native artists. For the Vashon exhibit, ReedPeter wove a replica of the Wapato Creek hat, and for the upcoming event will demonstrate traditional basketry and mat-making. The museum’s show will be on display until March 15. For more information, see www.vashonhistory.org.

Subconscious Population will play the Bike on Friday night Subconscious Population, a band that has many fans on the island and is a large part of Vashon’s musical history, will play a free show at the Red Bike on Friday. A group that organizers call one of the island’s most mysterious and captivating bands is back at it, blazing through their classic songs, as well as creating their own spin on some cool covers, like Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” or Jimi Hendrix’ “All Along The Watchtower.” The show starts at 8:30 p.m. and will be for all ages until 11 p.m., 21 and up after that.
Joeys Coat, a Vashon-based business that makes “couture coats for canines” from vintage textiles and repurposed materials, has been selected as a finalist in the 2014 Martha Stewart American Made Competition. Judged on Courtesy Photo innovativeness, This Joeys Coat keeps the pooch warm. workmanship, appearance, and embodiment of the American Made theme, finalists are selected by the editorial team of Martha Stewart Living, and Martha Stewart will serve as head judge and select the winners. Owner and founder of Joeys Coat, islander Robin Preston Bridgman, started the company in 2009 by creating the pattern for the first prototype from a vintage dog coat. Bridgman hired fellow islander Dana Lazare as tailor to transform second-hand fabrics, buttons and buckles into one-of-a-kind dog coats. The coats made their way into boutiques and fashion shows, and have sold online to dog lovers as far away as Korea.

“It’s a fantastic honor to be selected as a finalist. Joeys Coat is in great company,” Bridgman said. “There are some incredible makers that are featured this year.” Ten winners will be selected from the 40 finalists on Oct. 17.

Everett, a world music bass player, plays a seven-string fretless bass. The band, with members from San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle — and Vashon Island — will play a night of world music. Everett noted his respect for the music and all the musicians involved. “I’ve been playing professionally since I was 16, and this is the biggest concert of my career,” he said. Vishal Nagar, the cofounder of SAMA and a highly regarded Indian tabla player, described the band in an event press release. “It is the sonic expression of many musical traditions and styles, including those from India, America and the Middle East and honors the traditional as well as the contemporary,” he said. The show, at 8 p.m. Friday, is free and open to people of all ages. The Neptune Theatre is located at 1303 NE 45th St. in Seattle’s University District.

The Vashon Golf Business League recently completed its 12-week season at the Vashon Golf & Swim Club. This is the third year of league play, and the popularity of the program is evident by the number of teams and team members participating: 11 teams and 87 participants. Teams came from a variety of island businesses as well as St. John Vianney church, Vashon Island Fire & Rescue and the school district. The idea for the league was to have fun and provide an opportunity for the Vashon business community to enjoy the camaraderie of their teams and others, according to Jim Utter, who organized the league. Play was held each Tuesday evening from May 27 to Aug. 12. The gross score winner was Windermere. The team was comprised of John de Groen as captain, Salli Swift, Charlie Boule, Jeff Cunningham, Kyle Hawkins, Kyle Wiley and Dale Korenek. The net score winner was Vashon Education. The team included Tim Heryford as captain, Greg Allison, Kim Richards, Brownie Carver, Lea Heffernan, Terry Swift, Andy Sears, Jim Gilmore and Marcella Murphy. Representatives from the Vashon Golf & Swim Club say they look forward to hosting the league again next year.

RAFT UP Though they didn’t set a world record, participants were all smiles on Sunday as they paddled around the harbor for Raft Up. All ages came out in kayaks, canoes, standup paddle boards and inflatable rafts. When the boats gathered off Jensen Point, drones buzzed overhead to capture the scene. VYFS estimates about a quarter of the participants were from off-island. Bobbi Robinson of Seattle called the event a fun community scene. “People were yelling across the raft at their neighbors and people they hadn’t seen in a while,” she said.

Post office to park: Wingehaven has had many uses Little remains of the large estate that was once there By BRUCE HAULMAN, KAREN BORELL and TERRY DONNELLY For The Beachcomber
Nestled in a deep ravine on the northeast shore of Vashon Island is the quiet, difficult to access and seldom visited Wingehaven Park. It is a site that has been an early post office, a vacation home development, a fish farm and a private estate variously known as Aquarium, Cowley’s Landing, Twickenham, Twickenham Estates, Wingehaven, Northeast Vashon Park and now Wingehaven Park. The site has dramatic views across the sound to Seattle and Mount Rainier. From 1892 until 1909, it was the location of the Aquarium Post Office, with a retired sea captain, fortuitously named Captain Fish, as the postmaster. Certainty in history is sometimes elusive, and there is some question about exactly where Aquarium was located. However, cruising on Vashona this summer, I happened to check NOAA Chart 18448, Puget Sound, Seattle to Olympia, and amazingly Aquarium is marked on the chart exactly where Winghaven is located. Mystery solved. In 1909 the post office closed, and in 1914 opened about one mile south at Glen Acres. In that same year, William Cowley, a Seattle real estate developer and another self-described former sea captain, purchased the site to create a vacation home site called Twickenham after his reputed home village in England. Cowley built a large home, water gardens, a 200-foot concrete bulkhead and a dock called Cowley’s Landing. There were at least 12 ponds created, one called Virginia Waters, a warm water swimming pool, and another called Silent Pool, “the cold water hole.” Twickenham Estates was developed after Cowley moved his family back to Seattle in 1919. During the booming

Wingehaven looked very different at its peak in about 1930. The ponds built as water gardens and swimming pools when the property was a vacation home were later used to farm fish for aquariums. years after World War I, it was developed to be sites for vacation homes. Although a model bungalow was built, no lots were ever sold and no homes were built as economic hard times hit Vashon during the 1920s agricultural depression (Vashon actually lost population during the 1920s) and then the Great Depression of the 1930s. Ernest Moy purchased the property

in the late 1920s and used the ponds to farm fish for sale to aquariums. The 1933 Vashon Island News-Record advertised Twickenham Estates as a water gardens with goldfish, scavengers, plants, fish mosses and water lilies for sale. The business flourished, but was continually damaged by spring flooding that would overflow the ponds and wash the fish into the sound. During the 1940s, the property was sold as a private summer residence to Seattle restaurant chain owner William Sanders. Then, in 1950, Carl Winge purchased the site and renamed it Wingehaven. The Winges remodeled the house, and three generations of Winges owned the property until they sold it to King County in 1969. The Forward Thrust ballot initiative of 1968 raised $118 million and allowed King County to purchase Wingehaven and rename it Northeast Vashon Park. In 1995, King County transferred the site to the Vashon Park District, and it was renamed Wingehaven Park. In 1998, the Wingehaven Stewardship Group was formed to help support the park. That same year, Wingehaven became a Washington Water Trails Association campsite, part of the Cascadia Marine Trail that runs from the Canadian border to Olympia and features over 55 campsites, including Point Robinson and Lisabeula. The water trail campsites are
for use only by human- or wind-powered watercraft. The Norman Edson photograph of Wingehaven at its peak in about 1930 shows the house in the background to the left and the beach curving north to Dolphin Point on the right. In the foreground are a lily pond and the concrete bulkhead and Italianate balustrade with the Cowley’s Landing dock heading toward the sound on the right. The 2013 photograph is taken from about the same location and shows what remains of this once amazing development. The balustrade was vandalized in 1999, destroying many of the poured concrete railings, columns and urns. The King County Sheriff’s Office estimated the damage at $80,000. Today Wingehaven is in poor condition, but is still sometimes used by walkers, kayakers and beachgoers. The park is difficult to access because of limited and not well-signed parking, and it is rapidly being overgrown. The Vashon Park District regularly maintains the park, but is unable to fight back the ivy and other invasive plants that have enveloped parts of the site. Yet, Wingehaven has the potential to be one of the gems of Vashon Park District’s waterfront parks. — Bruce Haulman is an island historian.

BIKE CONTINUED FROM 1
featured on local news stations and inspired urban legends about how it became stuck there. But one local family has laid claim to the bike. Don Puz, who now lives in Eastern Washington, said he put the bike in the tree in 1954, when he was 8. Given to him as a gift after his family’s home burned in a fire, the bike was too small for him, so he left it behind in the woods one day. Puz’s sister, Madeline Bost, still owns the family’s second home near Center and recently began renting it out as a vacation home called the The Bicycle in the Tree House. Bost still visits the island and says she’s been pleased that over the years community members have taken care of the bicycle. Jeff Ammon, who until recently owned Vashon Island Bicycles, replaced the handlebars at least three times after they were stolen. “I consider him the bike’s guardian angel,” Bost said. “He’s been looking out for the bike for a while now.” Jeff Cunningham, who owns the property the bike is on, made a wooden footbridge to replace the shaky plywood that once crossed a ditch to the tree, something he says he did for liability reasons. And Bost believes someone has even trimmed back the foliage around the tree. But when Bost returned to the island last week and visited the bike, she was saddened to see it in such poor condition. “People we talked with yesterday had come to the island to see the bike in the tree,” she said last week. “We ought to be

doing more to protect one of the best assets on the island.” Bost suggested the bike could be surrounded by a fence that would prevent people from taking parts of it. “They could stand in front of it and get their photo with it, but not be able to touch it,” she said. Marsh, with the chamber of commerce, said he believes part of the charm of the of the bike in the tree is that it hasn’t become a typical tourist attraction — it doesn’t have signage, souvenirs for sale or plaques telling its story. Just finding it can be a challenging but fun experience for some visitors. “I’m glad we haven’t exploited it,” he said. While he doubts many people come to Vashon solely to visit the bike in the tree, he says it’s a top attraction for most Vashon tourists, and it may be an extra allure for visitors considering coming out. He noted that the bike has also been featured on RoadsideAmerica.com, a popular website that lists tourist attractions around the country. “Does it increase business on the island? Probably not. But it’s a famous thing, and we want to keep it up,” he said. The chamber would likely support fencing the tree off, Marsh said, though he noted it is on private property, and some people might still hop a fence to get to it. “You’re never going to protect it fully,” he said. Jeff Cunningham, who owns Sound Food with islander Greg Stoffer, said the two of them didn’t purchase the prop-

erty because of the bike, but they like that it’s there. “It doesn’t directly affect me,” he said, “but I always liked the story of it, and I enjoy it.” He said he would be open to installing a fence around the bike, especially if it was a community effort. “I would listen to anything that might help preserve it,” he said. Meanwhile, Ammon, who had to close his bike shop earlier this year, says he may be able to help the bike again. He was contacted by Bost about the most recently vandalism and said he would look through the bicycle parts he has leftover from his shop for anything that might fit. Ammon has always been a fan of the bike, he said, so much so that he even put a small bike in a tree outside his former shop. He remembers once when the bike lost part of its front fork, and someone either returned it or replaced it. “I heard Berkeley Breathed had someone take it apart,” he said, referring to the author of the popular children’s book based on the bike in the tree. “But it’s just a rumor as far as I know,” he said with a laugh. Finding parts to fit the small and dated bike can be a challenge, he said, but he would give it a try. “I think it’s important to do something and not let it sit there and go to waste.”

county levy funds to provide the service. The station also uses Vashon levy funds to employ emergency medical technicians (EMTs), who respond to less serious medical emergencies, and firefighters. In recent years, however, calls for medical emergencies on Vashon have risen, as have medical transports to off-island hospitals. During a normal transport for a more serious call, considered an Advanced Life Support (ALS) call, one paramedic and one EMT take a patient on the ferry, leaving the island with just one paramedic for about three hours. A second ALS call receives one paramedic and at least one EMT. Officials say the situation isn’t ideal, as studies have shown patient outcomes are better when two paramedics work together at all times. It also isn’t how Medic One operates in the rest of King County, where paramedic teams never split up. Also considered a weakness in the program is that Vashon’s paramedics respond to far fewer calls than those on the mainland and therefore have fewer opportunities to practice their skills. Several of Vashon’s paramedics have worked on the island for 10 years or more. “I think that we all are not as sharp,” said paramedic Steve Palmer at last week’s board meeting. The plan presented at the meeting calls for Vashon’s eight paramedics to be absorbed into south King County’s system of 72 paramedics who work on rotation in areas such as Burien, Kent and Renton. In return, the island would see a changing crew of 80 paramedics. The proposal also calls for paramedics to stay in two-person teams at all times. “This is a really important step in providing the same level of service that the entire rest of the county gets from paramedics,” Palmer said in an interview. Leslie Pohl, another paramedic, agreed. She said she is confident in Vashon paramedics’ skills, but she’d like to see more calls, and in some situations, such as a cardiac arrest, it can be challenging to work without another paramedic. “That in itself is such a huge benefit,” she said of the proposal. However, some have concerns about what would happen when paramedics do take ALS patients to the hospital,
something that happens an average of 2.7 times a week. Under the current proposal, King County paramedics working off-island would be called to provide backup as soon as Vashon paramedics know they will need to transport a patient. In such a case, either a south King County paramedic supervisor or an aid car based in SeaTac or Renton would head to the Fauntleroy ferry. The proposal also calls for adding a second paramedic supervisor position in south King County to help cover the island, something Fogarty said Medic One has a need for anyway. Ideally, the supervisor or a paramedic team would be on the island by the time Vashon’s paramedics leave, Fogarty said. And during the late-night hours when the ferry doesn’t run regularly, a supervisor would be stationed on-island to provide backup. When no off-island paramedics are available as backup, or problems with the ferry prevent them from coming over, the county would rely on helicopters from Airlift Northwest or a boat based at the station in Des Moines to transport paramedics or patients. Fogarty said the plan may result in more helicopter transports, but Medic One has already made steps to allow paramedics to ride in the sheriff’s office helicopter as well and to certify the Vashon Airport for helicopters to land in bad weather using on-board flight instruments. “That makes it even less likely that Airlift Northwest couldn’t fly,” he said. VIFR commissioner Ron Turner said at last week’s meeting that he is skeptical the plan would work well, saying a number of things could go wrong. Off-island paramedics could be occupied on other calls when needed, he said, or ferry problems or bad weather could cause delays. “There are too many obstacles. We’re at sea,” Turner said. “This is going to end up being a service reduction.” Myron Hauge, another paramedic who attended the meeting, voiced similar concerns. He said that while he agrees the current system should be improved, he believes the proposed plan may not always work when there is a second ALS call. “I worry about a lapse in care over here,” he said. “We’re talking about someone possibly getting hurt or worse,” he later added. Several VIFR officials, in fact, said the response plan may not work well in some circumstances, but Vashon should still implement it and then make any necessary changes. “On paper it looks like a reasonable plan. I’m not con-

vinced it’s going to work,” said Mark Brownell, a paramedic and the battalion chief for emergency medical services at VIFR. While concerns about Vashon’s paramedic response have been raised for years, earlier this year Brownell and Dr. Sam Warren, VIFR’s medical program director, outlined those concerns in a formal letter to King County Medic One, spurring an attempt by both VIFR and Medic One to come up with a better system. “We raised issues and concerns, and this is a solution to that,” Brownell said. “Do I think the solution is perfect? No. Do I think it is worth trying? I do.” Brownell and others emphasized that the station already constantly plans its medical responses around off-island transports, ferry problems, helicopter transports and other obstacles. They also pointed out that built into the proposal are reviews at 30, 60 and 90 days. “The method of providing coverage is still an ongoing dialogue,” said Palmer, who is also president of Vashon’s firefighters union. “I think it’s quite possible that they determine the gaps in coverage are too significant not to come up with (a new) method.” Fogarty said Medic One would be able to tweak the new response plan after it is put in place, though adding a third paramedic on the island full-time is out of the question. He noted that when the agency added a new paramedic unit based in Enumclaw, it made adjustments every 30 days and took six months to settle on a final operating plan. “We’re going into this with the approach that maybe we haven’t thought of everything and maybe what looked good on paper isn’t working so well,” Fogarty said. George Brown, assistant chief of operations at VIFR, said the proposed system would also benefit the station by providing more paramedics that could work on the island. For instance, two of Vashon’s paramedics are currently unable to work, and the remaining paramedics have been putting in long hours to fill in, something Brown said could affect their performance. “That’s puts them at risk,” he said. “It’s a safety issue.” Some board members questioned what the change would mean for VIFR’s response to fires as well as its ability to respond to less serious medical emergencies, called Basic Life Support (BLS) calls. Unlike in the rest of King County, Vashon’s paramedics are trained as firefighters. They also respond to BLS calls when EMTs are occupied or extra help may be needed, and they help with training the EMTs as well. “We’ve still got to put out fires and deal with band aids,” Turner said. Fogarty, however, said paramedics would still respond to BLS calls when needed. And Brown has been working with Medic One to develop a transition plan that he said would assure EMTs continue to get the proper training and oversight. “The long and the short of it is this is going to be an improvement of the services to our citizens,” Brown said. While Lipe said he would miss having paramedics trained as firefighters, he was note concerned. He noted that only one paramedic at a time can go into a fire anyway, and all King County paramedics are trained to perform support jobs at fires. He said thinks other factors such as volunteer firefighter numbers make a greater difference at fires. “There are a lot of variables in that capacity,” he said. The paramedic transition, if approved, would be a significant change for the department, Lipe said, and would require reworking VIFR’s annual budget. The department has been getting $2 million a year to provide paramedic services, approximately $1.6 million of which goes to paramedic salaries. The remaining $400,000 has been used to cover overhead involved with managing the paramedic program. Although he hasn’t planned a new budget yet, Lipe said he doesn’t expect the department would have to seek more local tax money for fire and EMT response. In fact, he hopes that ultimately VIFR could put more resources into training its EMTs, though he is unsure how it will play out. “I have to adjust the operations side to try to come within budget, and I think we have to have a concerted effort to do that before we can think about going out for more tax money,” he said. Fogarty called the plan more or less financially neutral for King County, and said that if anything, the county will pay a bit more to make the transition. “We are trying to respond to their request to improve service, and we think we can,” he said. “If it’s doesn’t seem that way, I’m comfortable leaving things the way they are.” The fire board is expected to vote on the proposal in early September. If VIFR moves forward, the plan would require final approval by King County Executive Dow Constantine and could be implemented as soon as January of 2015.

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption Prima is indeed a prima donna who wants to have the starring role in her new home. She loves humans but she is not excited about sharing the spotlight with other felines. She likes attention but she can be independent enough to entertain herself. Come and visit this beautiful star at our shelter.
Boots is a handsome young man with a great personality. He is a bed kitty which he will also share with his sister, Spotty. Boots’s person is very sad about giving him up but a lot of changes have upended the family and now Boots and Spotty are at VIPP looking for a new home. Boots has good house manners and he is good with kids.
Dear VIPP, We brought Norton to our home in West Seattle from VIPP December 2013 and he immediately became one of the family. He gained some weight at first but now is back to a healthy 17 pounds Norton (he has big bones!). He has made friends with other cats in the neighborhood and is very charming with guests and has become something of a celebrity. He likes to sleep on wool blankets on beds, and he has a nest on a couch made from a blanket he brought from VIPP. He also has nests around the yard where he naps during the day. A friend who is a curator at the Woodland Park Zoo says he has the exact color and markings of a European Wildcat – perhaps the wildcats are migrating to Vashon! We’re so glad we made the trip to Vashon and brought Norton home.
