Saving fish, protecting the environment
Some hope to see island go ‘Salmon Safe’ By SARAH LOW Staff Writer
In the coming week, representatives from the environmental organization Stewardship Partners will visit the island twice with information about their Salmon Safe certification program, part of an effort to get more island farms and other organizations to consider their environmental impact, not just on the island’s salmon streams, but on Puget Sound in general. With help from a grant from the King Conservation District, Stewardship Partners has already certified five island farms as Salmon Safe, meaning their practices protect water quality and fish habitat. Now, islander CC Stone is leading an effort to get more farms and other entities on Vashon certified. She has organized a community meeting for next Monday with Stewardship Partners, and Salmon Safe representatives will also be at this Saturday’s Farmers Market. “I think that this is something that everyone can get on board with,” Stone said. “This could be a first step as a community to take care of the things that we treasure.” Salmon Safe is a well established eco-label offered by an Oregon nonprofit of the same name. The Pacific Rivers Council of Oregon began the project of creating

Joe Yarkin owns Sun Island Farm, one of five Vashon farms that have already been certified under the Salmon Safe label. guidelines for land management practices in 1995, after researching and documenting the relationship between farmland management and stream health. Since then, the campaign has expanded to include vineyards, golf courses, urban
developments and park systems, and has created a partner network of Salmon Safe certification organizations that extends from British Columbia to California. The organization has certified over 60,000 acres of agricultural and urban
land, and the Salmon Safe brand can be seen on items in over 300 grocery stores. Having already certified Plum Forest, Sun Island, Hogsback, SEE SALMON SAFE, 11
Group explores new route for local economic development A public development authority could take on a variety of projects By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
A group of islanders is exploring the idea of creating a public development authority on Vashon, something they say could stimulate economic growth and possibly lead to the development of the K2 building. Those involved call a public development
authority (PDA) a “quasi-governmental” entity that would be formed by King County to do work on Vashon. A PDA is a government-owned corporation that cannot levy taxes and does not have power of eminent domain. On Vashon, a PDA would be overseen by a board and could enter into public-private partnerships, purchase property and lease it, issue tax-exempt bonds and — in what those involved say could be a huge boon for the island — could access local, state and federal funds not available otherwise. Though there are currently no other public development authorities in unincorporated King County, Seattle’s Pike Place Market, the Seattle Art Museum and King County 4Culture
are operated by PDAs. “What we are hoping to accomplish with this is to have it be an economic development engine,” said Jacquie Perry, an islander who is closely involved with the group. “It started in regard to K2, but as we added people we started having more conversations about what it is we want.” Perry, who moved to Vashon in 2007, is a former advisor with Washington’s Small Business Development Center and has owned several small businesses herself. When she moved to the island she naturally SEE PDA, 22
Ask parents of teenagers how it is to get them up and out the door on school mornings, and the answers, nearly invariably, come back the same: difficult, frustrating, stressful. Now, an increasing number of people — parents, health care professionals and educators — are taking notice of the science of sleep and are speaking out about school start times for teens. Just last month the American Academy of Pediatrics weighed in, calling sleep deprivation among middle and high school students a public health problem and stating that based on extensive research, middle and high schools should delay their start times until 8:30 a.m. or later. On Vashon, where the middle and high schools begin at 8 a.m. — later than many schools start and later than the start times just a few years ago —school district officials say they are familiar with the science that indicates teens who do not get enough sleep are at risk of a variety of health and academic problems. But, they say, many districts, including Vashon, face fiscal and logistical challenges when trying to align start times accordingly. “We have long known this to be true,” Vashon High School Principal Danny Rock said about the benefits of later starts. “We do not structure school as a society based on what we know will help students learn. We have not structured school to meet their physiological needs. We have compromised our students’ physical needs for other needs and values.” Math teacher and coach Andy Sears spoke to some of those needs SEE SLEEP, 14

Avenue, behind the Vashon Airport, have struggled with what they have called frequent criminal activity at a suspected drug house on that road. Earlier this year the man who lived there, Richard Grant, was convicted of two counts of possession of methamphetamine and sentenced to nearly two years in prison, prompting some neighbors to say they were hopeful problems at the house might end. While the sheriff’s office gave only the block of the incident, a neighbor who asked not to be identified confirmed that the incident happened at Grant’s former home. The home is owned by Grant’s mother. The suspect was arrested and booked into jail on investigation of assault and robbery. Gates said the home was not searched for drugs because the victims were not under investigation for any crime.
Incident occurred at suspected drug house A Vashon man was booked into jail last weekend and could face charges after demanding drugs and shooting a gun in a Vashon home. The man, a 38-year-old Vashon resident, entered a house on the 16000 block of 109th Avenue SW at about 7 p.m. Saturday. He demanded drugs from those in the home, argued with them and pointed a gun at them, according to DB Gates, a spokeswoman for the King County Sheriff’s Office. There were at least three other adults in the home at the time. The man fired his gun once and the bullet hit the ground near the foot of another man, Gates said. No one was injured.

Man lying in road is run over in early-morning accident
Woman seriously injured when car spooks horse
A man lying in the road near KVI beach was run over by a vechile and seriously injured last week. Vashon Island Fire & Rescue responded to the incident about 5:20 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 9, according to Assistant Chief George Brown. The man was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center. The King County Sheriff ’s Office also responded, sending its Major Accident Response and Reconstruction (MARR) unit to the island to investigate. Sergeant DB Gates, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office, said the man, a 32-year-old Vashon resident, was lying in the street on the 19700 block of Ridge Road SW when he was run over.
Staff Writer
He was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time, according to Gates. The driver of the vehicle was a 63-year-old Vashon woman who said he did not see the man. The MARR team completed its investigation, which closed the road for a time, by 8 a.m. Gates said it is unlikely any charges or citations will result. The man suffered serious injuries and multi-system trauma, according to Brown, who also noted it was still dark at the time of the accident. The man was responsive and talking when he was put in the helicopter. A Harborview spokesperson said the next day that the man was in satisfactory condition.
Straight on Strength
By NATALIE MARTIN
A West Seattle woman spent a week in the hospital after falling off her horse in an incident on Vashon’s west side, where she says a car came close to her horse and revved its engine. Susan McLain, who boards and rides her horse on Vashon, suffered 11 broken ribs, a broken collarbone, multiple fractures in her back and a collapsed lung after falling offer her horse on SW 220th Street, near Wax Orchard Road. McLain was riding her horse on a trail alongside 220th when she says a car came quickly from behind and revved its engine. Her horse jumped, McLain was knocked off, and the car continued on. “Horses are herd animals. If they are startled or frightened, they have an instinct to run or bolt. Their instinct is to get spooked,” she said. After the driver of the next car to pass stopped and called 911, McLain was taken by ambulance to Harborview Medical Center. She spent a week at Harborview, including two days at the
2014 Fall/Winter Class Schedule
hospital’s intensive care unit. McLain said she will be in recovery for some time, and may have to have surgery on her collarbone, but she is grateful she’ll be okay. A professional harpist who performs regularly and teaches private lessons, she is also grateful that she recently obtained health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. “That’s a miracle I have at this point,” she said. It’s unlikely McLain will be able to contact the driver of the car that passed her, she said, as she is unsure what the vehicle looked like and no one else witnessed the accident. She said she believes the driver should have seen her and her horse, but is unsure if he or she did. She also believes the car revved its engine once more as it drove away. “I’m not saying I blame the driver, but the driver did some very unsafe things,” she said. McLain boards her horse at a stable near Wax Orchard Road and for years she and a group of friends have come to Vashon four or five times a week to ride together.

“It’s delightful, and getting over there is part of the fun,” she said. McLain said she plans to continue riding on Vashon as soon as she’s able, but will now take extra precautions. In addition to waving when she sees cars approaching, she said she plans to walk her horse on roadside trails and ride only when she gets to forested trails. She also hopes to purchase an inflatable vest that acts as an air bag for equestrians, which costs about $1,000. “It’s not going to stop me from riding, but I’m not going to take the risks I did,” she said. She also hopes that others will learn from her accident, she said, and that island drivers will remember to watch for horses and take precautions when they pass. “If people just go around and give a berth and go slow, there’s shouldn’t be any problem,” she said. Friends of McLain have set up a fund to help cover her medical expenses and lost income. Donations can be made to the Susan McLain account at US Bank or at the website www.gofundme.com/ ekf7g0.

New director hired to lead ferry system NEWS BRIEFS After several months of interim management, Washington State Ferries will soon be under the direction of Lynne Griffith, who will serve as the assistant secretary for the Washington State Ferries Division. Griffith, who will earn a salary of $144,768, will begin her leadership role next month with responsibilities including guiding the ferries management team and all ferry employees to meet safety, operational and budgetary goals. “I am very pleased Lynne is joining the WSDOT team, and I want to thank Captain George Capacci for serving in the interim role,” said Lynn Peterson, secretary of the Washington State Department of Transportation, in a press release. “Our ferry system is an iconic symbol of the state of Washington and a vital link in our statewide transportation system.

Washington State Ferries operates 163,000 scheduled sailings annually and says it has a reliability rate of 99.5 percent.

VHS student is National Merit Respiratory virus raises Scholarship semi-finalist local concerns Sage Levin, a senior at Vashon High School, is one of the 16,000 semi-finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program. The semi-finalists, announced last week, represent less than 1 percent of high school seniors and include the students in each state who score the highest on the Preliminary SAT, or PSAT. VHS counselor Laurie Martin stressed the importance of the distinction. “We are honored with tremendous students, but semi-finalists are a pretty rare commodity,” she said. “This is a really special event. Levin, who is the son of Lesley Reed and Dennis Levin, now has the chance to compete for more than 7,600 National Merit Scholarships worth about $33 million. To be considered for one of those awards, semifinalists must submit a detailed scholarship application and provide information on their participation in school and community activities, leadership abilities employment and honors received. About 15,000 of the 16,000 semi-finalists are expected to advance to that stage of competition and will be notified of their status in February.
At press time, local health officials were still working to determine if several sick children at Seattle Children’s Hospital have the enterovirus that has been seen recently in other U.S. states and has been responsible for many hospitalizations. At the Vashon Island School District, nurse Sarah Day said parents and educators should be alert for the illness, which can cause breathing problems, especially in children with asthma. “People should not panic, just take extra precautions for infection control, and parents with children with asthma need to pay extra attention,” she said. She noted that symptoms can come on fast, so children with asthma should be sure to carry inhalers with them. Additionally, she said, people should practice preventive measures by thoroughly washing their hands, covering their coughs and sneezes and staying home when they are sick. If a child experiences wheezing or other breathing difficulties, parents should call the child’s health care provider.

Island roads: We are all responsible for safety
District should consider its role in student sleep
The moment islanders dread hearing about came last week: a serious injury along the roadside. This time it was a horseback rider on a quiet street, approached from behind by a loud car that came too close and startled the horse into jumping out from under her. The driver continued on downhill without stopping. This accident will hopefully serve as another reminder about safely navigating our island roads, which can be shared by vehicles and pedestrians alike if both are careful and aware. These are the facts about our very caring, small-island community: We live on what is essentially the top of a mountain sticking out of Puget Sound. Thus our home has minimal flat ground, few streets or roads that are not dead end, and steep hills with blind curves and drop-offs. As citizens, we constantly search for improvements that will protect some without increasing the danger to others. We are a rural, outdoor-loving population of people who walk, jog, exercise dogs, bicycle and ride horses along the roads because it is often the only way to get from point A to point B. We pave some of the road shoulders to help the non-motorized wheeled vehicles and leave other shoulders as dirt to help those on foot or horseback who would like a softer, less-slippery surface. We accept the placing of guard rails on some drop-offs and curves, so long as they do not trap pedestrians, bicyclists and horses directly in the speeding traffic. We try to think to slow for the non-automotive traffic, including deer. So what goes wrong? This weekend there was a major bicycle event on the island. I
The new Vashon High School building, unveiled this year, was built with learning in mind. Classrooms have more computers in them. Teachers can amplify their voices with new sound systems to ensure that everyone hears. Study areas throughout the school encourage student collaboration and group studying. Even the chairs in classrooms were chosen intentionally — they roll on wheels, something that has been shown to improve concentration during Schools here will likely class. In many ways scicontinue to be strong if start times remain as they ence informed what the new school would look are. But in order to serve like. Now the latest science students best, the district suggests that many teens should take a close look at are sleep deprived, and the Vashon School District changing its start times. should take note and consider whether it could realistically change school start times. A study recently released by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) confirms what other scientists have long said, that teenagers don’t get enough sleep. Because of their changing bodies, teens have a hard time falling asleep before 11 p.m. It’s recommended that they get nine hours of sleep a night, meaning schools should start no earlier than 8:30, according to the AAP. The AAP says nearly 60 percent of sixth through eighth graders and almost 90 percent of high school students get less than the recommended amount of sleep each night. On Vashon, the school district is aware of the most recent recommendation. The high school and middle school both start at 8 a.m., later than many schools. But research suggests that pushing that time back even a half-hour could mean more sleep and benefits for students and likely improved performance in school. However, school officials point out that it wouldn’t be simple to change school start times, and there are many factors to consider. It’s good that the superintendent is now paying attention to a study Seattle Public Schools is spending half a million dollars on to fully vet the idea of changing start times. Vashon has strong schools. The Puget Sound Business Journal recently used school performance data to rank the top school districts in the Puget Sound area and listed Vashon as number eight. Schools here will likely continue to be strong if start times remain as they are. But in order to serve students best, the district should take a close look at changing its start times. In the next year, and at least after Seattle’s study is complete, Vashon’s school board should take this issue up.
COMMUNITY By CHAR PHILLIPS was coming downhill on a curving road, with multiple bicycle riders struggling uphill in the opposite lane. Car drivers from below were trying to beat me by circling into my lane around the bikers, intending to be back in their own lanes before I, pulling a heavy trailer downhill, impacted them. My question was, if any driver miscalculated, would he or she have hit me head-on? Or swerved back to his own lane and swept the bikers off the road? Most of us feel that the seemingly careless drivers, sometimes speeding and sometimes not, are not malicious but simply unaware or unthinking. They feel that if they pull out a little away from the person they are passing, they can safely pass at 30, 40 or 50 mph. They may know it is not safe to go past a deer, who cannot be trusted to stand still, but they are not thinking about the rare moment when a horse startles, a bicycle hits a pothole, a child stumbles, a dog wanders into the street. We road-siders would like to propose that drivers think seriously about how quickly they could stop if someone unexpectedly ended up on the road in front of their car. When we drive, we are in the armored vehicle. A single tap of a fender or bumper against a person or an animal’s leg can be serious and even fatal when the car is moving fast. More than one island horse has been destroyed after such a glancing blow. And

Call to action
Shine light through the cracks “Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack, a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” These beautiful lyrics from Leonard Cohen’s “Anthem” were invoked by
Mary Kay Rauma in her Sept. 10 article “When the world seems dark, light can get in.” She tells us that we can cope with the horrible news we hear every day if we “look beyond the cracks and see the light” and that “we’re fortunate to live in a place ... with room to breathe, natural beauty, caring people.” Ever since Vashon musician Roger Taylor first

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
STAFF PUBLISHER: ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR: CIRCULATION:
please think about how an animal or bicyclist or pedestrian feels when an automobile or truck passes suddenly so close that the wind whips their clothing. It feels like an impact, and everyone who has experienced it shudders at the recollection. That was your life, or your death, going by. As for the few drivers who are truly malicious, those who deliberately swoop their cars toward someone on the shoulder or throw objects out the window to see what animals will do, the community will need to ponder how to deal with them if someone dies or is terribly injured. Most of us riders, bikers, walkers and joggers are also automobile drivers. Hopefully we are as thoughtful behind the wheel as we wish drivers to be when we are vulnerable along the road’s edge. Because that’s what we are — at the mercy of drivers. Please, slow down. Watch. Take your foot off the gas for those few seconds it takes to pass. Look at what is happening. It’s not worth gaining five seconds if you hit someone. Pedestrians on the side of the road can also take some measures to protect themselves. Among equestrians, we urge people to not only wear something bright or reflective, but also to try to catch the eye of the driver. Some riders wave their hands or put a cloth on the end of a riding whip to wave into the lane so drivers take notice. We smile, wave, thank them when they slow down. So who is responsible for the safety of non-motorized people on the edge of the roads? The answer is we all are.

Recess
More activity would improve learning and create healthier students As the first weeks of school descend and my son begins his adventures at McMurray, I am stunned to see that his time for recess has gone from almost an hour a day at Chautauqua to practically zero at the middle school. Sixthgraders are required to take only one semester of P.E. This semester my son doesn’t have P.E. and thus no active time at school outside of the half-hour during lunch, 10 minutes of which he’s using to eat. That leaves a potential of 20 minutes of active time during a seven-hour school day. In The Seattle Times recently there was an article stating the importance of at least an hour per day of active time for our children not only for physical health, but for academic success as well (“Want to get an ‘A’? Exercise an hour a day,” Sept. 7). I am aware of the many after-school activities available for children, ranging from swimming club to soccer; however, some children are not interested in those types of

Climate change
Step up and speak out this weekend If I told you that the first step toward saving civilization as we know it and derailing a headlong gallop into a horrible future for our grandchildren was to spend an afternoon standing with the rest of the world, one afternoon, would you do it? We know our way of life is changing the world in a way that could very well make it uninhabitable for us and many other species on the planet. We have asked our leaders to do something about it. Why have they been unable to act? Simply, they have come to the positions they hold by being the most successful in exploiting the status quo economic and political paradigm we live in, i.e. the paradigm that we must now change. Polls show overwhelming numbers want this, but how badly do we want it? Our leaders will not act until they realize that we are demanding that action be taken. We don’t do that by signing petitions or writing letters. We do that by interrupting our own business as usual and getting out in the streets in huge, unprecedented numbers. That means all of you that don’t usually do this sort of thing Your opportunity to march is this Sunday, Sept. 21, in Seattle at Westlake Park at 1 p.m. All over the world, on this day, in 1,500 events in 130 countries, we humans are challenging ourselves to step up. Two days later, the leaders of the world will come together at the United Nations to talk about it. I’m not sure we could really muster the heart to try again if we fail to get enough of us out there this time.

sports and parents can’t manage the logistics of practices if they work during the day. I propose this simple solution: Could the school shave four minutes off each of the seven classes (including homeroom) and embed a recess time during the school day? I know the results would be better learning, fewer behavior problems and a healthier student body.

Tooth Talk
with Dr. Marc O. Langland
Tips for maintaining a healthy smile
Did you know? Dry mouth causes tooth decay. Saliva plays a very important role in protecting the teeth from acid in the mouth. When carbohydrates are consumed, they are converted into acid by bacteria in the mouth. The water and mineral content of saliva serves to wash away acid and rebuild tooth structure. Unfortunately, as we age, saliva flow decreases and many common medications cause dry mouth. Check with your doctor, dentist or pharmacist to find out if your medications cause dry mouth so that an appropriate preventative regimen can be established.

introduced me to them, these exact lyrics have been a kind of anthem for me, but the message is not “look on the bright side of life.” It’s a call to action for positive change: speak up, loud and clear; do all you can but don’t expect immediate results; speak the truth to those in power. Cohen is not telling us to see the light beyond the cracks. He’s telling us to shine light through the cracks to expose what’s inside. In the same Cohen song are these lyrics: “I can’t run no more with that lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud. But they’ve summoned, they’ve summoned up a thundercloud, and they’re going to hear from me.” We can only make change when those in power hear from many of us and see us as a thundercloud. Looking away from the bad and toward the good might be a successful way to cope, but all it does is make you feel better. Taking action can make you feel better and help make things better.

Coyotes
Is it wise to encourage them on Vashon? About 25 years ago, my daughter and I were horseback riding in Yellowstone National Park. It was early morning, fresh and cool. We were on a trail that opened into a large meadow when suddenly from the rocks above us a pack of 10 or 12 coyotes appeared. They paused to look down at us and then ran directly across our path into the meadow. They were beautiful — large, strong, fast. At first we thought they were wolves, but the ranger guide said coyotes. He said in recent years, with ample food, they were growing larger and modifying their behavior to hunt as a pack like wolves. Seeing them was a thrilling experience, but menacing. My only other close experience with coyotes was at Lake Tahoe. Our family has had a little cabin on the west shore for 45 years. Close neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Simms, a lovely older couple who had two dachshunds, Hansel and Gretel. Each evening the Simms were in the habit of taking “H and G” for a walk on a narrow roadway behind their home. One evening Gretel ran on ahead and was joined by a small coyote who seemed friendly. The two played a bit and then the coyote led Gretel into the shrubbery where the coyote pack waited. They attacked and killed her while the Simms yelled and threw rocks. Are coyotes a species we should encourage to multiply on Vashon? At Tahoe and in other areas the wild animals may encroach on people, but they can retreat into the mountains to live as they should in the wild. An island has water borders coyotes don’t cross easily. An increase in their population here will mean more close encounters with humans, pets and livestock. To allow this is naive and foolish. — Sheila Elliott

SCENE & HEARD: CANDLELIGHT VIGIL Last Wednesday evening, islanders gathered in town for a candlelight vigil to mark World Suicide Prevention Day. The International Association for Suicide Prevention says that more than 800,000 people around the world die by suicide each year, which equates to one death every 40 seconds. On Vashon, the issue hits particularly close to home because of the high number of suicides the island has seen in recent years.

SALMON SAFE CONTINUED FROM 1
Old Chaser and Pacific Crest farms on Vashon, the Stewardship Partners are returning to familiar territory. What’s new this time is Stone’s idea to get large, non-agricultural land holders on the island — specifically the park and school districts — interested in becoming certified as well. Stone, a community activist who pays close attention to the Vashon Park District, learned about Salmon Safe after doing research about the potential environmental impact of large sports fields such as the new VES fields and their management. She said she would now like to see not only the fields, but as many farms and organizations as possible certified as Salmon Safe. “This seemed like a good way to have a non-threatening discussion about how we as a community are dealing with the land we have and how that reflects our community values,� Stone said. “Can we find a way to make our maintenance programs more reflective of what we believe?� Ellen Southard, who leads community outreach and development of municipal-wide programs for Stewardship Partners, said she believes Salmon Safe certification is important for both rural and urban land management, as both can contribute to the overall health of the ecosystem. She said salmon are considered an indicator species, meaning if salmon are not doing well, the rest of the ecosystem is in trouble as well. “By meeting Salmon Safe standards, a landowner is ultimately protecting all habitat, including their own,� she said. “Bees, for example, gain as much benefit as salmon from the work done for certification, and we need bees if we want to continue to feed ourselves.�

According to Salmon Safe, getting certified can involve a variety of different management practices, depending on each site and its purpose. For example, certification for wine growers focuses on reducing water runoff from hillside vineyards and enhancing native biodiversity. For farmers, the concentration of livestock per acre is one factor, as is as pest management strategy. But as a rule, certification requires practices that protect water quality and restore habitat. For non-agricultural sites, this can include factors such as site design and pollution prevention. Joe Yarkin, who owns Sun Island Farm on Maury Island with his wife Celina, said they were interested in having their farm certified as Salmon Safe particularly because it’s near Quartermaster Harbor and drains into a documented salmon-bearing stream. He said their farm met almost all of Salmon Safe’s standards already, but they had to make a couple small changes and document their practices. “We did what we needed to do to have the farm certified because it was a good way to check ourselves and how we fit into the ecology of the local streams and water sources,� he said. Yarkin will speak about his experience at Monday’s meeting and said he would like to see more farms or entities get certified, including the Vashon Golf & Swim Club, which has a large golf course close to his farm. “Everything that happens on this island, because of its importance beyond our own streams, makes a difference,� he said. “Organizations like the park and school districts and the golf course control a lot of land here, and if we’re all on the same page, say, as far as pesticide use goes, it all helps the overall health of the sound.� Southard agrees. “Our mission is the health of Puget Sound, and we’re here as a resource,� she said. “Every single site counts.� The Salmon Safe certification process is different for urban

sites — such as schools, fields or golf courses — than it is for agricultural areas. Alex Ko, Salmon Safe and special projects manager for Stewardship Partners, said that the costs for the certification of Vashon farms have been primarily covered by the King Conservation grant, something that is not available to the non-agricultural sites. There are also retail benefits to being certified for farmers and winery owners, as they are able to use the Salmon Safe label on their goods, which could attract certain consumers. Southard noted that Stewardship Partners work with their urban and non-farming sites for five years, offering support throughout the certification process and beyond, and do their best to help find funding whenever possible. “The costs vary due to acreage and the level and scope of agency involvement,� she said. She also noted that Salmon Safe certification can result in multiple benefits, aside from the direct benefit to salmon, including public credibility, saving on chemical costs and utilities, water quality protection, reduced water consumption, possible eligibility for grants or incentives and credit toward being certified in the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) program. Stone has communicated with officials from both the park and school districts about her effort. She says that both districts have been receptive to learning more about the Salmon Safe program, and both committed to sending representatives to the meeting. Elaine Ott, executive director of the Vashon Park District, said she likes the idea and wants to learn more about what it would take to get the district’s properties certified. “I am really looking forward to hearing about the strategies that are possible,� she said. “We don’t know much about it yet, but the purpose of the meeting is to find out.� Ott went on to explain that two meetings ago, the park district voted to adopt a new mission statement that includes preserving the island’s natural and built environment through sustainable stewardship. Ott herself has an extensive background in sustainability practices, including having written a climate action plan for the city of Tacoma. “I have real passion about this and am very excited about what this might open up for us,� she said, also noting that the biggest issue for any organization will be the costs. “The park district has studied this a bit,� she said. “Adopting sustainable practices can be costly, and it takes time to transition into them.� Stone is hopeful that Salmon Safe could be the way to find the funds. “Broad community support and involvement is a better way to go than acting individually, for many reasons,� she said. “We just need a clear path that everyone can get behind.� The Salmon Safe information meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, at the Vashon Library.

WHAT’S HAPPENING A DAY AT THE MUSEUM
Heritage Museum sponsors an event for kids As part of the museum’s ongoing exhibit about Vashon’s Native American heritage, the Heritage Museum is offering a free event called Children’s Day at the Museum. Vashon’s storyteller Lauretta Hyde will open the morning’s activities with the tale “A Foolish Girl.” After the story, students will be divided into small groups to circulate through other activities which include cording with fibers such as cattail and cedar, native children’s games, a hands-on visit to the museum exhibits and a DIY experience making a canoe using native designs. A snack that Native youngsters might have had will be provided. This free event is geared for children in grades 1 to 5. It begins at 9 a.m. and runs until noon on Saturday at the Heritage Museum. Register by calling the museum at 4637808, and leave the names and ages of attendees. MUSIC AT HASTINGS CONE
Music at Snapdragon moves inside Joe Panzetta, a Vashon based multiinstrumentalist, composer and singer will perform at the Hastings Cone Gallery next to Snapdragon from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday. Panzetta plays original songs on guitar, banjo and harmonium and sings melodic ballads with a signature percussive guitar style. His repertoire includes covers by Nick Drake, Ray LaMontagne, The Water Boys and Van Morrison. Panzetta has been performing plus recording and producing CDs since the late 80s. Joining Panzetta will be friends Allison Shirk, Rick Vanselow, Steve Meyer, Dianne Krouse, Annie Roberts and others.
MUSIC AT THE RED BIKE

High and Lonesome was formed in 1985 and played all the bluegrass festivals throughout the Northwest until it broke up four years later. But by 1993 the group reunited and were hired to play three shows at the very first Wintergrass Bluegrass Festival that year. Earla Harding, founding member of the festival, recently said that High and Lonesome was one of the greatest local bluegrass bands ever. After another hiatus, High and Lonesome performed at the Darrington Bluegrass Festival the past two summers, 24 years after the group’s last performance there. Islanders Tab Tabscott on dobro/ pedal steel guitar and vocals and John Schubert on guitar and vocals will be joined by Pete Martin on mandolin/ fiddle, Al Hutteball on bass and Rich Jones on banjo/guitar and vocals.

Vashon Theatre hopes to appeal with new programming, starting with Shakespeare By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
Imagine watching the Royal Shakespeare Company perform the Bard’s high-spirited romantic comedy “The Two Gentelmen of Verona” in Shakespeare’s hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon. How about seeing Benedict Cumberbatch play Frankenstein at London’s National Theatre or the Bolshoi Ballet — the world’s oldest dance company — execute its classical repertoires. Now picture viewing these stellar international shows without leaving the island. That’s the idea behind Vashon Theatre’s lastest cinematic series of live, world-class performances rebroadcast on Vashon’s silver screen. “As an arts community, Vashon is a natural fit for these live theater broadcasts,” said Eileen Wolcott, owner of Vashon Theatre. Apparently Vashon is also lucky. Only a few select theaters have received the rights for rebroadcasting, which was also a fortunate turn of events for Wolcott. Like other theater owners nationwide, Wolcott saw a significant downturn in ticket sales this past summer. “It was a 30-year low for all movie theaters,” Wolcott said. “I heard the cause was that the summer movies were bad, but people weren’t at the good ones either. Times are changing. We had to change, too.”
For several years Wolcott and her manager Raechel Ehlers have worked to manifest a dream of broadcasting shows from the Metropolitan Opera. But success has eluded them. So when Wolcott’s former employee Peter Alexander came for a summer visit and heard about the duo’s aspiration, he suggested they apply to host the theatrical global broadcasts. Vashon Theatre won the licensing rights and showed “Monty Python Live (mostly)” as a trial run in July. “It was hugely successful,” Wolcott said, “so we thought this seemed like a great way to go.” First out of the official blocks will be the theater’s exclusive screening of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s “The Two Gentlemen of Verona.” Shakespeare’s plays have been performed in Stratford since the time he first penned them. In 1961, the Royal Shakespeare Company opened in Shakespeare’s hometown to pioneer contemporary approaches to the bard’s plays. This will be the first time that “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” has been performed as a full production on the Royal Shakespeare Theatre stage in 45 years. Following close on the heels of Shakespeare comes the Greek playwright Euripedes and his powerful tragedy “Medea.” From the
stage at the Olivier Theatre in South Bank, England, Carrie Cracknell directs a new version of the classic play, adapted by Ben Power. Helen McCrory stars as the ill-fated Medea. In addition to the regular film programming, Wolcott and Ehlers promise a compelling lineup of the recorded-live events for fall and winter, and say they are buoyed up by the change. “We are really rejuvenated to do this new project for the theater,” Wolcott said. “Raechel and I are excited by what’s come from reinventing our programming.
Film Times “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” will play at 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20 and 1 p.m. Sunday. “Medea” will play at 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 25 and 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28. Tickets are $20 for general admission, $18 for juniors, seniors and students and $15 for groups of 20. Tickets are available at the theater box office or www.vashontheatre.com. Future listings of the special events include “Frankenstein” and “Of Mice and Men,” which will be shown in October, and the Bolshoi Ballet, scheduled for November.

VAA’s space-themed auction will support operations, scholarships Intragalactic space travelers get ready. It’s time to don your favorite martian space suit, practice your best Vulcan salute and brush up on your Klingon. Phone E.T. for tips on how to dress for A Starry Starry Night, the second evening of Vashon Allied Art’s annual two-night auction. The galaxy of events begins at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Open Space for Arts & Community. Riffing on the space theme, VAA Director of Communications Justin Huguet said the nonprofit is excited to hold “2014: An Art Odyssey” at the new venue. “Space is a fitting theme for the great hall of Open Space,” Huguet said. “The ceiling is so high you almost expect to see the stars. It’s kind of like a planetarium.” But the real stars will be hung on the walls at ground level, where 138 pieces of art will be auctioned off to support VAA’s operations and programs. The auction is the organization’s primary fundraiser. According to Huguet, the event proceeds go towards the operating budget, while the raise-the-paddle funds are all earmarked for scholarships. “Our goal this year is to raise $50,000 for scholarships,” Huguet said. “98 percent of our scholarship money comes from these two nights.” Following a tradition that began in 1991, several artists have been commissioned by a panel of VAA staff and board members to create a special pieces for the auction. “We always choose a Vashon artist,” said Janice Mallman, the VAA Gallery curator. “We’re not rigid in who we chose, but aside from just liking the work, we often ask artists who have contributed a lot to previous auctions.” Saturday’s commissioned pieces include photography, encaustic and steel by Francesca Fuller, painting by Britt Freda and sculpture by Michael Magrath. Birdhouse centerpieces, created and customized to look like rockets by 22 island artists, will also be up for bid along with an array of experiential items such as trips to New Orleans, New York, sailing in San Diego and a NASA travel package. The evening’s cuisine will offer a gastronomic constellation of Northwest food and wine. Herban Feast will cater the meal, paired with wine from Northwest wineries — and some alien but premiere Italian vintners — plus cocktails by Seattle Distilling Company. The auction’s ground control team will feature emcee Jeff Hoyt, auctioneer Kevin Joyce plus entertainer Steffon Moody and his crew.

and values, noting that gym and field space for the island’s athletes of all ages is limited, and if the high school were to push back its practice times, that would also affect community sports activities, potentially making them end too late for younger kids. He also noted the large number of off-island students who attend the high school, and he wonders if later high school practices would mean those students would get home too late in the evening. “We have to make it so that students can learn some things out of the classroom as well,” he said. The district nurse, Sarah Day, voiced strong support for later start times, from her perspective as a mother and as a school district health professional, where she said she sees many district students who are fatigued and struggling with considerable stress. “I am very concerned about the mental health of kids in our district. Stress and fatigue add to that,” she said. “I support the position of the American Academy of Pediatrics, absolutely.” Superintendent Michael Soltman noted that just a few years ago the district looked into implementing a common start time, but the expense of adding the required buses was prohibitive at $250,000 to $300,000. He added that some parents of elementary-age students have voiced concern about the idea of flipping the school schedules so that elementary students would start the day first, allowing

he said, but the risks of sleep deprivation still exist despite the temporary lift a cup of coffee or can of soda provides. While the physical and emotional importance of sleep is clear, results have been mixed about how much students benefit academically from later start times. A Minneapolis study found no significant change in grades and test scores based on start times, but other studies have shown significant academic benefits to later starts, especially among students who had been testing at the low end of the spectrum. Moving school to start one hour later, the authors of one study found, would have as much impact on test scores as reducing class size by one-third. Additionally, a 2009 study of Chicago Public Schools compared how students fared in morning versus afternoon classes. Classes there start by 8 a.m. and many students are tardy. They found that when a student took a class mattered, with students taking math first period scoring worse on end-of-year exams and students taking English first period scoring worse on English tests. Locally, the issue of school start times has figured front and center recently at the Seattle Public Schools, where nearly 4,000 people signed a petition seeking to change school times to no later than 8:30 a.m. The measure drew support from several local sleep experts as well as the Seattle Council of Parent, Teacher and Students Associations, the Seattle School Nurses Association and the Seattle Education Association.

district staff to fully vet the issue of starting later. A proposal is to be completed by next September at a cost of $571,000. Soltman said he is looking forward to hearing the results of that study, and if the Seattle school district decides to implement later start times, how they will manage some of the issues involved. On a national scale, the conversation about later start times has been in the news repeatedly in recent months; US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has shown support for later starts, and a grassroots movement called Start School Later is growing and has 27 chapters in 15 states, including chapters in Seattle and Bellevue. In an interview last week, co-founder of the organization, Terra Ziporyn Snider, PhD, a medical historian and a former associate editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, said she encourages school districts to think outside of the box when facing scheduling challenges. Could sports practices be held before school, she asked — a choice that would affect only those students involved

in the sports — or could school days be shortened so that a later start would not create a later dismissal? “Shouldn’t we start at the premise that schools run at times that are best for health and learning?” she said. “Once we get that, we can work everything else around that.” Snider noted that even though Vashon’s 8 a.m. start time is better than that of many schools, she believes the evidence indicates a later start time would benefit students. “Every study that has been done so far shows that even a small change, even 15 minutes, has a measurable effect on mental health, alertness and learning,” she said. “It looks like every bit helps.” The issue of sleep, she said, is as fundamental as eating nutritiously and exercising. And, she said, families are vitally important in the conversation and must play an active role. “It is the responsibility of the family to ensure healthy sleep times,” she said. “It is the responsibility of the schools and the community to give healthy wake times.”

P2P riders make their way up one of Vashon’s strenuous hills on Saturday.
Traveling on a Passport to Pain Last Saturday more than 250 riders participated in the island’s fourth annual Passport to Pain cycling event, which organizers say was a great success. “It went really well,” said Bruce Morser, the founder and one of the event organizers. “The weather was perfect, and we had a good group of riders.” The ride is a fundraiser for the Vashon Island Rowing Club, of which Morser is a member. The proceeds have not been tabulated yet, he said, but are expected to be higher than last year, when the event netted $16,000. “There are probably more efficient ways to make money for the rowing club,” he said, “but there is no better way to make money for the club and bring a joyful spirit of sport to the island.” The ride, not for the faint of heart, had three options, with more than 80 percent of the participants signing up for “The Idiot” course, which featured an 80-mile ride and 10,000 feet of elevation gain. The remaining cyclists
signed up for “The Weasel,” which covered 50 miles with 6,500 feet of elevation gain, and “The Weenie” which covered 30 miles and had 3,400 vertical feet. “There is a fine line between a challenging ride and just a fun, tongue-in-the-cheek event where you work really hard and get a smile out of it. I think we did that,” Morse said. While the whole course is a challenge, Morser said the hill that seems to pose the most difficulties for riders is the Gold Beach hill, which is very exposed and at the end of a very long ride. Cyclists at that stage are contending with leg cramps and trying to find the energy just to keep going. But most of the bicyclists persevered and were rewarded with a barbecue — and camaraderie — at Jensen Point, where Morser said riders lingered into the evening.

Football team falls hard, looks to Friday’s Nisqually League game By CHERYL PRUETT For The Beachcomber
The Pirate football team took another tough knock last week, dropping a game to Port Angeles High School by a final score of 42-8. Vashon kicked off to start the game with senior Nate Lawson hitting the receiver for no return. Port Angeles scored quickly in its first possession of the game with a 20-yard run followed by a 20-yard pass play. The point after was no good. The Pirates first drive went nowhere, and they turned the ball over on downs. Port Angeles scored another touchdown almost immediately, managed the two-point conversion, and the score was 14-0 within the first eight minutes. Bright spots of the first half were sophomore Bryce Hoisington with a big sack for a 10-yard loss as well as positive yards running for the Pirates. Chester Pruett had a couple of nice punts of over 30 yards. After a second quarter of sacks, fumbles and an intercep-

During the second half, the Pirates started to get their feet under themselves. The team was able to capitalize on some Port Angeles mistakes and penalties and get into decent field position. Workhorse running
backs Lawson and Hoisington continued to make runs for short but consistent yardage. Vashon worked its way down to the 28-yard line on a three-yard run by Lawson. With the ball on the 28 it was third and 7 when quarterback Pruett salvaged a broken play

with a 13-yard run to the 15 and a first down. Unfortunately, Vashon was unable to get it into the end zone and turned the ball over on downs. Port Angeles completed a 90-yard pass play for its final score of the game, 42-0. Hoisington rallied the team with a massive run of 30 yards followed by a 12-yard stretch. Lawson got the ball into the end zone for the Pirates’ only touchdown, and Hoisington punched in the 2-point conversion. In the fourth quarter, sophomore running back Hoisington took the ball 50 yards down field, jumping defenders and cutting the field, reaching the end zone only to have his efforts called back due to a defensive penalty. Vashon had 18 players suited up for play this week. After two weeks of playing much larger, more experienced teams, the Pirate squad looks forward to its first Nisqually League competition this Friday at Charles Wright.

Recreating an historic race
Local athletes again swim from Tacoma to Vashon By BRUCE HAULMAN & TERRY DONNELLY For The Beachcomber
The year 1926 was a notable year for competitive open water swims. Perhaps the most famous openwater swim is across the English Channel. It was first crossed by a swimmer in 1875. But on Aug. 6, 1926, Gertrude Ederle, pictured at bottom left, was the first woman to swim the channel, and she set the record by beating the previous best time of a male swimmer by nearly two hours. When she stepped ashore in England, greased up and in her swimming gear, a customs official asked to see her passport. A month later, on Sept. 26, 1926, the first Tahlequah to Point Defiance competitive open-water swim was held, following the ferry route from Tahlequah to Point Defiance. There were 13 swimmers entered in this first swim, and 15-year-old Stadium High School student Alexina Slater, pictured in this 1926 photograph (bottom right) dancing the Charleston at the finish line, came in fourth with a time of one hour and 20 minutes. She was the only female swimmer in this first event and finished 18 minutes behind the winner, Gerhard Bahr. The crowd attending the event, estimated at 10,000, heartily cheered Alexina when she finished the race. Alexina later married Floyd Austin, had a son Joseph, and lived in Tacoma until her death in 2001 at age 91. This month, the 3-kilometer Tahlequah-Point Defiance Swim was recreated, for the first time since 1926, by AuqaRun Tacoma with an optional 5-kilometer open water loop course from Owens Beach. The swim from just southwest of the Tahlequah Ferry Dock to Owens Beach at Point Defiance had 40 swimmers who registered at Owens Beach, walked on the Point Defiance-Tahlequah Ferry, and then walked to the starting point on the beach next to the ferry dock. There were three Vashon Island swimmers entered in the race this year, Heidi Skrzypek, Wendy VanDeSompele and Stuart Putnam. Mary Robinson was the Vashon-side safety coordinator. Heidi and Wendy, pictured in the Terry Donnelly photograph, unlike Gertrude Ederle, were not asked for their papers when they walked ashore at Owens Beach. We don’t need passports to get off of The Rock … yet. — Bruce Haulman is an island historian. Terry Donnelly is an island photographer.

Maeve Lambert
aeve Lambert began life on January 7, 1942, in Yuba City, California, and died on September 2, 2014. Maeve was a remarkable woman. She had the uncanny ability to inspire those around her to achieve more than they ever thought possible. Always dreaming and planning, Maeve could see when something could be created out of nothing. She lived her life pushing boundaries, and in so doing made those around her stronger and ultimately better people. The most important part of the story of Maeve’s life is her family. Maeve had two remarkable daughters, Tamar and Natasha, whom she raised with the love of her life, Hilary Emmer. Over 37 years, they had a love story that is rivaled by few. They did everything together and spent no more than a few days apart at a time. There was nothing that Maeve could not do, and if she couldn’t she would encourage Hilary to do it. Hilary quickly and happily learned that you never said no to Maeve, and she credits Maeve with making her the person she is today. Maeve’s career life began as a nurse in a small town hospital in Quincy, California. There she got to do everything, including delivering babies. She loved the fact that she was able to deliver babies and helped bring over 40 into the world. Nursing allowed Maeve to move around, and her last nursing job was in Spokane. But Boeing was hiring in the 1960s, and since it paid more than nursing, Maeve switched jobs and moved to Seattle. She lived on the main street on Alki and bought her favorite car ever, a GTO with a double-barrel carburetor. Always adventurous, Maeve, after working the swing shift at Boeing, would drag race her GTO up and down I-405, which was being built at the time. Yes, sometimes the police interceded, but for her that was half the fun. Working for Boeing during the Vietnam War meant you were forced to buy war bonds with each paycheck. One day Maeve counted up her bonds and realized she had enough money to go to college, a dream she never thought would be a reality. Maeve moved back to California and went to California State University at Chico, majoring in political science. There she met Warren Dunn, and in her senior year their daughter Tamar was born. Warren, a draft evader, left for Canada before Tamar’s birth. Maeve graduated and then joined Warren in Canada, where their second daughter Natasha was born. The four of them were able to return to Chico in 1975, after the draft board in Fresno mysteriously burned down. As a feminist, Maeve found working at the Chico Feminist Women’s Health Center a perfect fit. The health center provided birth control and abortion services. And it was there in 1976 that she met Hilary, also a feminist working at the clinic. In fact, Maeve was Hilary’s supervisor, and at one point, she even put Hilary on probation. They got past that little personnel issue, however, and soon became an inseparable couple. The two, now parenting Tamar and Natasha together, felt that Chico was not the best place to raise children, and the new family moved to Seattle, which had a large, diverse population. Maeve found a house in Seattle that she considered ideal. Unfortunately, it was a shell of a house, with no bathroom, kitchen, electricity or plumbing. Hilary thought she was crazy, but Maeve had a vision. She believed Hilary had the skill to renovate the home with two young children underfoot. And she liked that it was within walking distance to the elementary school she wanted their children to attend. So at night, Maeve and Hilary found themselves poring over Time-Life books on home renovation and on weekends progress was made. Over the course of 15 years – and after enough homerenovation adventures to fill a TV series – they created a beautiful two-story house from that shell of a structure. It was a tough, ambitious and successful project – and one that demonstrated the nature of their dynamic relationship: Maeve was the driving force, Hilary her sidekick. In 1981, Maeve found a job at Associated Grocers in data entry and was there when the first desktop computers arrived. She quickly learned the systems, rose up the ranks and retired 15 years later as manager of more than 40 people in the accounts payable department. Maeve wanted to return to the country for her retirement and she and Hilary chose Vashon as their new home. In 1990, they purchased land on Maury Island on which to build their dream house. Maeve designed the house, and in 1999, she and Hilary were once again building a home together. Maeve also loved gardens, and she planted a large perennial garden that would always be in bloom, a place where she could watch the birds and butterflies land on her flowers. And of course there was a huge vegetable garden. Maeve was a voracious reader, usually working on three to four books of all different genres at a time. She was also an artist who created intricate needlepoint, worked at weaving and spinning and designed stained glass. A piece of her stained glass hangs permanently in a place of honor above the door of the Snapdragon Café on Vashon Island. In 2002, at age 60, Maeve was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Once again Maeve had somehow instinctively known where to move, because the Vashon community proved how wonderful people can be. As Maeve’s disease progressed, the community accepted, supported and loved both women. Hilary remains deeply grateful for the support Maeve received. Maeve leaves a legacy of love and inspiration for all who knew her. She is survived by her partner Hilary Emmer of Vashon and her daughters Tamar Dunn (Carl Bicknell) of Seattle and Natasha Dunn (Eric Vandermolen) of Oakland, California. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, October 5, at Camp Burton. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a donation in Maeve’s name can send a tax-deductible contribution to Cedar River Clinic, 263 Rainier Avenue South, Suite 200, Renton, Wash., 98057, or call Mercedes Sanchez at 425-278-1132. Cedar River Clinic is part of the Feminist Women’s Health Center system.

In 1998, she was appointed to Senior Research Scientist Human Exposure Division Office of Research and Development. She retired from EPA in 2004. Joellen held many faculty positions from 1979 through 2010 at Duke University, University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, the European School of Oncology, and University of Washington. Her professional societies have been many, currently American Association for Cancer Research and International Society of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons. Formerly, the American Chemical Society (ACS), American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Society of Toxicology (SOT), Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) and Sigma XI (an Elected Scientific Honor Society). Her many honors include: ACS award for outstanding graduate in 1966, Bell Telephone Service award for Outstanding Teacher in 1968, Outstanding Young Women of America in 1978, an EPA Silver Medal for Diesel Research in 1980, an EPA Bronze Medal (5), Indoor Air in 1986, Integrated Air Cancer in 1986, Regional Science Council in 1999, Agricultural Burning in 1999, International Project Teplice Program in 2004, and many more national and international honors and awards.

At a meeting in Washington, D.C. she met a scientist from Czechoslovakia and they collaborated on establishing an international project which is still active today. This Epidemiology project studied the health of Czech citizens in all regions and produced a healthier environment. Joellen was a woman that loved science and helped others to love science from high school children to her Post Docs. She had a big heart, loved others, and always saw the best in others. She was always happy, fun, and loving. Joellen will be greatly missed. Joellen was preceded in death by her parents, John G. Lewtas, Jr. and Nedra E. Lewtas of University Place, Washington.

PDA CONTINUED FROM 1
naturally began thinking about small business issues, she said, and she took note when several years ago a group looked at developing the large, empty K2 building. “There is really a need for more jobs, and there are people who are desperate for work here,” Perry said. “If there’s a way I can bring my expertise to help that way, I would like to.” Last year on the ferry, Perry was chatting with Bill Moyer, a local activist and director of the Backbone Campaign, when they found they were both interested in seeing the K2 building redeveloped, and the two vowed to talk further. In spring of that year, they brought more islanders into the conversation and reached out to an official at the state Department of Commerce to discuss economic development opportunities. The group has also met with a consultant, Pamela Shirley, who has helped start several PDAs in the state and has worked with the group on a mostly pro-bono basis. Though as many as 50 people have attended meetings to discuss a Vashon PDA, a core group of eight islanders is now exploring the viability of a PDA on Vashon and may eventually present King County — the entity that would have to approve and form the PDA — with an official proposal. At a meeting on Monday evening at the Vashon Library, Perry announced that after getting receptive feedback from King County, she recently spoke with a legislative aide to King County Councilmember Joe McDermott, and the aide is now arranging a meeting with county officials and members of the PDA workgroup. After gauging the county’s level of support, she said, the group will likely begin more public outreach around their effort, possibly organizing a STORY CONTINUES, NEXT PAGE

Now our relationship with Pat Hanson turns to one of memory. We hear her voice in our hearts, and we continue to talk with her. We remember what she taught us, and we continue to learn from her. Pat lived—big—for 84 years.

She lived with a cat or two, played a little piano, and thoroughly enjoyed living on this special island where she made wondernumbers for PTA fundraising musicals written and directed by her husband. She joined ful friends who loved her dearly. Pat had her share of hard knocks, but her years on two golf clubs in the early 60s so she could play 3-4 days a week, which she did for over Vashon were the happiest and most fulfilling ever, and above all she learned to live in 30 years.

community survey or public education about what a PDA is. The workgroup includes Perry and Moyer, as well as Jenny Bell, Bob Fuerstenberg, Kevin Joyce, Wayne Miller, Merrilee Runyan and Rex Stratton. “We have an idea of what can be done with a PDA. I think before it’s sent to King County, it’s going to have to have a very concrete business plan,” said Stratton, a local lawyer and community activist. “I don’t think you’re going to be able to have King County create a PDA that has no specific purpose and business plan.” Those involved in the workgroup say they’ve yet to hash out details about what a PDA would do on Vashon, and the idea of a PDA is fluid because every PDA is different. For instance, a PDA was formed in Bellevue in 1989 to construct and operate a convention center and theater. The resulting Meydenbauer Center still exists today. A PDA in Elma inherited a 1,800-acre failed nuclear facility and over the course of a dozen years created a business park that was eventually taken over by the Port of Gray’s Harbor. A PDA formed in Bellingham in 2008 is currently working to develop four specific vacant or under-utilized properties in that town. Members of Vashon’s PDA workgroup say that a PDA could possibly do a number of things on the island, including developing the K2 building. When a marijuana edibles company came close to purchasing the building earlier this year, Moyer, who publicly called for better environmental testing at the site, also pointed out the PDA

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption
Dear VIPP, Herb and Opal were the first
Spotty is a cute girl who loves to hold hands and have her face caressed. Spotty and her brother Boots needed to come to VIPP after their beloved owner had to move across the country. Spotty is better in an adult home.
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.
VIPP cats to capture my heart, in spring of 2012 when they were fourteen years old. Tuxedo cats are so handsome, and always dressed for dinner! Opal adores her big brother Herbie. At the shelter, she was a scaredy-cat who didn’t let people near, but she Herb & Opal tried to always perch in a hiding place near her Herbie. Aptly named after a love-bug, Herbie often held court in a chair, where he vocally reminded passers-by to pet him as they passed. When they came home, Opal hid under the bed for 3 weeks before she started sleeping on top of it, but would still race back under the bed if I came in the room. Now she sleeps next to me at night, and lazily extends a paw to demand chin-pets when I walk by during the day. Herbie still holds court in a soft spot, where he demands attention every time anyone comes near. The pair can be found cuddling together on cool days, or touching noses in the sun when it’s warm. I can hardly imagine my days without these two snugglers! Vicky
