50 years of golfing and more

Young woman killed in accident remembered as bright, caring By NATALIE MARTIN
Last Sunday morning at the golf course, a visiting youngster got a quick lesson in how to swing and hit a long drive. After a few whiffs, 7-year-old Johnathon Palmer connected with the ball and sent it sailing through the air and down the fairway — then set off down the hill to look for it. Grinning from ear to ear when he returned — without the ball, which was under water — it was clear the golf bug had bitten him. “I hit it all the way to the pond!” he shouted. “I want to go golfing again.” It is that kind of enthusiasm that members of the Vashon Golf & Swim Club on Muary Island are hoping to tap into as they celebrate 50 years as a club and look to the future. President John Bender says that unlike the stereotypes of country clubs as enclaves of the elite, the Vashon club aims to be inclusive, and, he noted, it offers

bership options, opening its Mileta Creek restaurant to the public and dropping “country club” from its name. Those changes appear to SEE GOLF CLUB, 19

Katie Chale seemed full of potential. Described by those who knew her as bright, confident and a leader who was mature beyond her years, many say the 22-year-old who recently graduated from college had everything going for her. But that potential was cut short last week, when Katie was tragically killed in an accident involving a bus on Vashon Highway. “She was ready to take on the world,” said Bruce Haulman, an islander who knew Katie through the local sailing program. “That’s why this is such a tragedy.” Still, Katie’s friends and loved ones speak of the impression the fiercely altruistic young woman left not only on Vashon, but at the University of Portland, where she attended college, and during her travels around the world. “She was determined to make an impact in everything she did,” said islander Donna Nespor, “and made a lifelong impact on all of us who had the good fortune to know her.” Kaitlyn Marie Chale, known to most as Katie, was born on April 1, 1992, to Jeff and Dolly Chale. Her family, including her older brother Tyler
It didn’t take residents of the Burton peninsula long to figure what the new birdhouselike structure outside Collin Hennessey and Lin Holley’s home was. In fact, the eclectic set of books inside has turned over quickly, as passersby took the couple up on their sign’s offer to “take a book, leave a book.” The Little Free Library is now one of about 15,000 such book nooks worldwide, many of which are registered at the nonprofit’s website, www.littlefreelibrary.org. Hennessey and Holley moved about a year ago from Seattle, where Holley said the small, often artful libraries were “reproducing” with 130 and counting. They recently decided to install their own on the Burton loop, and Holley, a skilled artist who has shown work at Silverwood and the Blue Heron, adorned the sides with quotes about reading etched into iridescent metal. “We hope it sustains itself,” Hennessey said. “It’s a little contribution to the neighborhood.”

In mid-November, a 124-car Issaquah Class ferry will replace one of the route’s 87-car Evergreen State Class ferries. The larger ferry was originally supposed to come on at the same time as the revised schedule, but issues with other ferries in the system have delayed its arrival.

tle time for aging ferries to catch up from delays. The state originally planned to eliminate multiple ferry trips throughout the day and space remaining trips farther apart. However, after pushback from riders and ferry advocates on Vashon, WSF moved forward with less significant changes, mostly adjusting sailings to be 5 minutes before or after they were previously. The weekday schedule also lost one mid-day sailing each from Fauntleroy to Southworth, from Southworth to Fauntleroy and from Southworth to Vashon. It gained one midday sailing from Fauntleroy to Vashon. The weekend schedules have the same number of sailings as the previous fall schedule. Ferry officials and state lawmakers had also hoped to restore the state cadet that once directed traffic at the Fauntleroy dock to help alleviate congestion there. But during the last legislative session, money was only allocated for added ferry staff hours at the dock. — Natalie Martin

Senior feet are this nurse’s business By SARAH LOW Staff Writer
Veteran nurse Trish Macdonald has spent the better part of the last decade providing what she calls an invaluable service. Madonald, or the Foot Fairy, as she is known to those she cares for, provides foot care
for people who find it difficult or are unable to do it themselves. “People don’t realize how important this is,” Macdonald said, “but it’s such a crucial part of senior health care.” Macdonald, a registered nurse with over 30 years

of experience in geriatrics, discovered just how needed her skills were when she provided the service at Vashon Community Care, while working there as a nurse and as a provider affiliated with the Vashon Senior Center after its foot care specialist left. “Once people found out the clinic existed, I was surprised at how many phone calls we got,” she said. Macdonald explained that as people age, healthy feet are important for both safety and health reasons. Staying active can help with weight management, prevent blood clots and keeps muscles and bones strong. If the feet are too painful or unhealthy for walking or other activity, strength and balance can be lost and the risk of falling increases. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) cites falls as the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries of adults 65 and older, resulting in 2.4 million emergency room visits and 722,000 hospitalizations in 2012 alone. “That is why I exist,” Macdonald said. “As people get older, they become less flexible, have difficulty manipulating clippers and often can’t see well enough to take care of their feet, so I do it for them.”

Trish Macdonald, a.k.a. the Foot Fairy, right, provides foot care for clients like Joy Goldstein, left. Seniors with diabetes are at particular risk, as the nerve damage and circulation issues that can accompany the disease can make it difficult to know when there is something wrong with their feet and puts them at higher risk for infections. Macdonald has taken special training in foot care through the Washington State Podiatric Association, and she recently set up a clinic in the Barber & Beauty Shoppe in Parker Plaza. Her services include a foot soak, nail trim, thorough exam of the feet, filing of corns and callouses, calf and foot mas-
sage and advice regarding footwear. Joy Goldstein, a client of Macdonald’s for the last five years, said she is grateful for the service. “My feet feel better,” she said. “I can’t reach them myself any more, so I am very glad that she’s here to do this. My favorite part is the massage.” Macdonald wasn’t surprised. “That’s everyone’s favorite,” she said with a laugh. Macdonald also makes home visits for those who cannot get to town. Describing it as “the best
nursing job she has ever had,” she says she loves what she does. “I get to sit and talk with an incredible range of island elders,” she said. “I have a unique relationship with a whole lot of people now. I want to keep doing this until I retire.”
Trish Macdonald’s Foot Fairy clinic is open by appointment only on Mondays and soon Wednesdays. Call Macdonald at 499-8750 for appointments.

Driver in fatal spring accident will not be charged By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
A woman who hit and killed a motorcyclist near the north end last spring will not be charged with a crime for the accident. Though investigators with the King County Sheriff ’s Office concluded there was probable cause to charge the woman, a 62-year-old Vashon resident, with vehicular homicide, the King County Prosecutor’s Office decided this month there was insufficient evidence to do so. The case has been sent to King County District Court, where the woman may be cited for traffic violations. According to a memorandum dated Sept. 18 and written by Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Amy Freedheim, the woman driving the vehicle that struck and killed West Seattle Resident Peter Lajko on his motorcycle in April was negligent on the road and “liable for this man’s death.� However, according to Freedheim, there was no evidence
LATE BREAKING NEWS!
that she exhibited disregard for the safety of others, a requirement for a vehicular homicide charge. The fatal accident occurred on the afternoon of April 26. Lajko was headed northbound and stopped on his motorcycle to turn left on the 12500 block of Vashon Highway, near Palouse Winery, when a woman driving a pickup truck northbound hit Lajko from behind. He died instantly. The driver later told investigators that she was on her way to her boyfriend’s house that afternoon and simply didn’t see Lajko. She had attempted to swerve at the last moment, but was unable to avoid him. An investigation by the King County Sheriff’s Office found that at the time of the accident the driver was traveling about 51 mph; the speed limit on that stretch of road is 50 mph. She was not found to be under the influence of alcohol, but she did say she had taken Vicodin four and half hours before the accident. She claimed the Vicodin did not affect
her driving at the time, and she was not evaluated by a drug recognition expert at the scene. Documents associated with the investigation describe the woman as distraught after the accident. She also said she believed she had cancer, and her boyfriend informed investigators the following month that she had been diagnosed with stage four throat cancer. In her memorandum, Freedheim argued that absent any evidence the woman was affected by the Vicodin or distracted by electronics, she didn’t show more than ordinary negligence when the accident occurred. “I do recommend appropriate infractions, including failure to have liability insurance,� Freedheim wrote. “Her lack of insurance leaves the dead man’s family with little ability to obtain restitution for his death, especially in light of her cancer diagnosis.� The Beachcomber does not name suspects unless they are charged with a crime.

EDITORIAL
With fitness for moms, men can join in too
More work needed to set Metro on a sustainable path
Anybody that knows me understands my life is essentially a tugof-war between riding my bicycle and drinking beer. Lately beer has been winning. With this in mind, I started another episode of “Operation Greek God.” This is a program where I modify my diet (basically cutting out hops) and increase my exercise frequency. I do this until I get the chiseled physique of Adonis or lose 5 pounds, whichever comes first. To increase my physical activity, I recently decided to take a class at Core Centric (in the interest of full disclosure, I teach a cycling class at Core Centric and am very biased). As for which class to take it, really didn’t matter. I know my colleagues are awesome, so any class would end up being a good one. My real concern was when the class was offered. I found one, named Body Back that fit perfectly into my schedule. Hmm, a full body workout with an emphasis on the back? Having a strong back is essential for cycling, so this would be ideal. I arrived at the studio just before it began and got a quizzical look from the staff. Apparently, Body Back is a class for new mothers so they can recover their fitness and figure after the rigors of childbirth. I laughed and said I needed to take a Lamaze class first then spun on my heel to leave, but like all good fitness coaches, they broke down my obstacles to training. They pointed out that I had the time for it, I was already
Last spring when voters rejected a measure to sustain county bus service with a new car-tab fee and sales tax increase, many opponents said Metro should tighten its belt more before going to voters for money. Metro appears to have gotten that message. Last week, King County announced that it now anticipates cutting its bus system by 400,000 hours of annual service, rather than the 550,000 hours proposed last year. The millions in savings come by way of a thorough scrubbing of its budget as well as an improving economic outlook. On Vashon, some minimal cuts were proposed The remaining cuts, the for the final round of first of which will go into Metro reductions in 2015. effect this weekend, are the cuts to Vashon significant and will still be While routes could have been hard on the region. much worse, some have also pointed out that trimming the island’s already sparse bus service could create a hardship for those who rely on the bus. And on Vashon, islanders have fewer alternative options for getting around. Vashon cuts could still be on the table in the future, officials say, but are looking less likely. While The Beachcomber editorialized in favor of Proposition 1, which would have raised money for buses, it is welcome news that the county found another way, that after trimming its budget repeatedly it was able to find some new cost-saving measures and will take advantage of an improving economy as well. But as officials note, the remaining cuts, the first of which will go into effect this weekend, are significant and will still be hard on the region. Metro ridership is growing, not shrinking, meaning many riders will be left at the curb or forced back into cars, congesting already crammed streets. And Vashon residents who use the bus in Seattle and beyond will likely feel these cuts as well. The express route that runs between Fauntleroy and Seattle, a busy line that many Vashon commuters use, is one of the routes slated for reductions in February. King County has shown it can be creative and will make sacrifices to save bus service. Now lawmakers should play their part to sustain and eventually grow bus service to match our growing region. Whether the solution is found through further county efficiencies, new taxes, legislative action or even raising fares is not yet clear. Whatever the route, Metro should maintain its mantra of efficiency, remember the unique position Vashon is in as an island and ensure that any solution doesn’t unfairly burden those who already struggle financially. The low-income fare it recently moved forward with is a good place to start.
HUMOR By CHRIS AUSTIN dressed in my leotards and leg warmers and postpartum or not, it would do me some good. So with a shrug I said OK and waited for the other students to arrive. As the new moms walked in, they saw me and hesitated for a tick. A look passed over their faces, saying “Am I in the right class?” Fortunately for me these women were very nice and made me feel welcome. As for the babies, their colorful jumpers didn’t fool me. I could see they were sizing me up. I don’t know exactly how old they were because all kids look the same to me until they are around 20, but they were carried in a gizmo that looked like a picnic basket, so they must have been pretty young. The class itself is a smart idea. Mothers don’t need to worry about childcare, and the babies have fun while Mom gets a good workout. Yet the real genius is the fact that as each mother’s child grows, the workouts become harder, and the more fit the mom becomes. In fact, before she knows it, she’ll be doing squats and calf raises with a 30-year-old on her hip. For me, however, it was not without its weirdness. Since the

Teen sleep
Many students are too busy for adequate rest The flurry of concern about school start times and teen sleep seems to miss the point. While I agree that sleep is of pivotal importance, I disagree that the school’s start time is the cause of early morning difficulties. As a diurnal mammal, we are hardwired to feel sleepy as darkness
descends and to experience wakefulness with the sun. Currently, our 7:12 a.m. bus allows my son to wake up at 6:45 a.m. when the sun is well above the horizon. This may change mid-winter, but for now, perhaps the trouble is not in the morning, but in the night. My unschooled son is a sophomore this year. Purely by his own choice. Attending VHS consumes 40 hours a week and homework takes another 10. That’s a 50-hour a week occupation This doesn’t leave room for much more, or does it?

STAFF PUBLISHER: ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR: CIRCULATION:
child itself is an integral part of the workout, I needed to come up with some progeny pronto. I decided on a bouncing baby medicine ball — my mother always wanted a doctor in the family. He looked like a volleyball and weighed a healthy 8 pounds. I named him Wilson. The session was also unusual in the sense that it was the first time I’ve ever had a workout where breast feeding was involved. I guess it makes sense though; even babies need to carbo-load before training. On the good side, I got some insight into my parenting skills. I kept dropping Wilson, which I’ve been told is not good for newborns, and I tended to sit on him during breaks. On the bad side, there was a lot of crying, all of it from me. Another unusual aspect of this workout was spotting. Spotting at the gym means helping someone get through a particularly strenuous exercise, but when babies are involved, it’s an entirely different thing. After a class full of planks, push-ups and bridges, we ended with the challenging baby shot put. OK, I am kidding about the last one, but it was just as well because I was knackered. After cooling off, I put my baby in the corner (with apologies to Patrick Swazye) and was surprised to see the other mothers taking their children home. It is so much easier just to keep them at the gym.

Despite our protestations that education is paramount, many families act as if a 50-hour a week occupation isn’t enough. They want their kids to magically learn all that stuff and then go do more! Or, perhaps they’re scared that a child without a back-to-back schedule will be idle enough to get into trouble? Regardless, how is a young person supposed to juggle school, homework, after-school sports or drama or music lessons (or all three), church and friends LETTERS CONTINUE, NEXT PAGE

(romantic and otherwise), off-island games, performances and get enough sleep? Adults in our society (myself included) tend to overbook ourselves. Skimping on well-prepared food, inadequate sleep and living a constantly stressful lifestyle is how most Americans kill themselves — heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, cancer. We are a people who live to die. So, do we need a later start to the day or a new habit of moderation? — March Twisdale
Safe roads
We need to drive as though we are walking I want to thank Char Phillips for her piece about drivers and the attention they need to pay to pedestrians, bicyclists and horses (“Island roads: We are all responsible for safety,” Sept. 7). She said very well what needed to be said, and I’ll only add a personal note. There are very few of us who don’t drive cars. We are different people when we drive. When we walk or bike or ride horseback, there is a limit to our speed. When we drive, we may go as fast as we like, with no effort. Even 25 mph is fast to a walker. Cars have created a culture of hurry (think of your anger and frustration when I-5 moves stop-and-start, which is most of the time now). We need to remain the person-who-walks when we drive. We need to slow down and be very cautious when
We install new efficient gas furnaces!

we come on walkers, bicycles, horses; we need to act as if we were passing them on foot. This should become the heart of a Vashon culture of slow down. — Cal Kinnear
Watch for school buses It’s that time of year again when all the big yellow school buses are back on the roads. That means so are a lot of children. Our job as school bus drivers is to make sure all of these kids get to school and back home as safely as possible. We are only three weeks into the school year, and I’ve already had four people run my big, red, flashing STOP paddle. Not a good start to the year so far. I would like to remind everyone once again about what our bus lights mean. The flashing yellow lights mean there are children in the area and to please slow down. The yellow lights are supposed to warn you that we will be stopping. It does not mean speed up. Don’t treat our yellow lights like you would a traffic light. Red lights mean stop. When you see a school bus with its red lights flashing and the flashing STOP sign out, it means it is either loading, unloading or crossing a child. So please help me do my job safely by slowing down and stopping. If you know you are going for a ferry or have an appointment, leave a few minutes earlier. Also, three out of the four people who ran my red lights were on cell

Thanks to Good Samaritans!
Many thanks, and an apology
Thank you to the unidentified woman who offered to jump our car when we found our battery was dead after waiting over an hour for a late ferry at Southworth on Sunday, August 18. When she found that her son had removed her jumper cables from her car, two unidentified men, one from the Vashon line and one from the Southworth line, appeared with jumper cables and got our car started just as the incoming ferry was starting to unload. You wonderful folks really made our day!
Many thanks for all the wonderful support Islanders gave the Passport to Pain bike riders this past Saturday. Whether it was much needed words of encouragement offered to a passing rider, or just a friendly wave and a smile from a car window, every bit of support was warmly appreciated along the long 80-mile road that led to the celebratory Jensen Point BBQ. Thanks also for so graciously sharing our island roads with the over 250 riders. Every rider I spoke with couldn’t say enough about the wonderfully friendly Island spirit, and how beautiful our home is. The Vashon Island Rowing Club tries hard to keep the impact of this fundraising event very low, but we’ve heard that some of the riders ran stop signs or rode two abreast at times. We apologize for this and promise to make an even greater effort next year to educate our riders. One last big thank you to the 80 plus volunteers who worked hard to make the ride possible, and successful. The money raised by our sponsors and riders will go a long way toward keeping Vashon’s rowing program alive and well next year. As for all the riders... well... I hope you’ve recovered, and forgotten enough, to join us again next year.

Alzheimer’s disease
Families are not alone, can support one another It’s been just a week now since about 125 caring Vashon citizens spent the afternoon learning all about Alzheimer’s disease. It was a powerful presentation and has left me thinking all week about it and wondering if there are any support groups here on Vashon for those suffering this illness and their families or caregivers. I am very interested in meeting with others who may be interested in pursuing the possibility of having a support system, or if there already is one, being able to link up with it and help in some way. Contact me at beverlyskeffington@gmail.com or 3548921. It’s important for these families to know they are not alone and others want to help in some way, if possible. — Beverly Skeffington

We’re grateful that you talked us out of buying that house we were intending to make an offer on. We met the people who did buy it and they’ve found all sorts of things wrong with it. A lot of what they’ve discovered wasn’t obvious and their inspector wouldn’t have been able to see it. Now we’re a little nervous about buying anything. There was some sort of disclosure from the seller but it didn’t mention the problems that they’ve found. How can we protect ourselves from having this happen to us?
A:
Buyers rely on home inspections to find serious defects in the home. Unfortunately there can be things that have been covered up or problems beyond the scope of the inspection. The inspection contingency allows for additional time to have other experts examine the house. It’s always a good idea to take that time if your inspector recommends something be checked by a specific expert. It does cost more money but it could save you serious consequences. On a recent inspection I attended the inspector thought he saw something wrong with the electrical system. However, since he isn’t an electrician, he recommended we seek the opinion of an electrical contractor. The good news is that the electrician didn’t find anything wrong and explained to my clients why it could have looked like a problem. That gave them (and me) some real peace of mind. There’s a requirement in this state that a seller, with a few exceptions, must fill out a Form 17, a seller’s disclosure. But don’t rely on these too much. Many sellers don’t really know that much about their home and property. Things that might be a problem for a new buyer might not be anything the sellers notice any longer. That could include leaks, rotting wood or even exceptional noise from a nearby factory. No house is perfect. We use the term “normal wear and tear” to describe the common issues that can come up in any house. What you need to look for are serious defects that cost a lot to fix.

Local author writes noir thriller set in the West By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
A film in book form. That’s what one reviewer said of Mark Giles’ new noir thriller “The Wolf Hunter,” which the island author will discuss and read at 6 p.m. Friday at the Vashon Bookshop. Of course calling the book a film — but in a different form — is not that much of a stretch for the former screenwriter, video editor and one of the early writers for the PBS mystery series “Murder She Wrote.” In fact, Giles admits to originally writing “The Wolf Hunter” as a movie in print. “Then I changed to writing it as a book and got into it,” he said. “I enjoyed the writing and was lucky enough not to have any blocks.” Luck aside, Giles also credits his understanding of script writing for the ease he experienced in penning the book. “Everything in movies is done in threes,” Giles said. “I applied that to scenes in a chapter and how the larger (arc) is laid out with beginning, middle and end. I also used an old script technique of putting everything on index cards.” Which makes good sense as there are plenty of characters and issues to keep track of in Giles’ fictional town of Stanley Valley, Montana, a place where extremes collide. For starters there is Annie Mann, the outsider with style who champions local wolf packs and owns a serious chunk of real estate in the Walker Ranch. Her nemesis and former lover Wilhelm Spatz owns the Rocking R Ranch, which sits adjacent to Walker Ranch. Spatz nurses a vendetta against Mann and, as the book jacket says, “all the other out-of-state big money liberals who turn the wild and free ranges into boutique grasslands.”
Giles professes an ongoing interest in issues about humans’ abuse of the planet. He devours travel books, along with the 20,000 other titles the voracious reader has under his literary belt. For “The Wolf Hunter,” Giles envisioned a conflict set in an area where both sides of an environmental issue preside. “I wanted Annie — as the wolf lady — to have utter power with A-list clients but with an enemy in the guy she used to live with. He’s into poaching. He’s a taker, and Annie is literally outgunned until the wolf hunter shows up.” But Giles doesn’t let the reader off the hook that easily. The issues are complex and so is the wolf hunter. He has one foot in the hunting, killing side and the other in the balanced ecology side. A man of few words, Spatz lived a long time in the wild and now works as a federal marshal with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In movies, Giles said, the plot involves two extremes, which inevitably leads to violence. But Giles detests films — and books — in which the gun is the solution. “I wanted to show how (using the gun to problem solve) makes things go horribly wrong for everybody.” That’s the noir thriller aspect of the book, but Giles also wanted the story to be fun and include a “very cool wolf,” who appears throughout the story. Giles’ goal, among others, was to write an intelligent thriller, saying he worked hard to make all the characters engaging,

Pirate squad shows improvement despite trouncing Crew kicks By CHERYL PRUETT For The Beachcomber
A 16-man squad of Pirates took on Nisqually League opponent Charles Wright last Friday at the Tarriers’ home field in Tacoma. Vashon lost 30-8, but the young team continued to make progress and showed signs of improvement. Charles Wright scored on its first possession of the game with a touchdown and 2-point conversion, making it a quick 8-0 score. The Pirates’ first possession was a little rocky, but down to fourth and 12, with a completed pass they made the first down. Senior Nate Lawson saw his first action of the night with a big run for another first down. After several successful plays, The Pirates suffered a delayof-game penalty and had a couple of downs that went nowhere. At fourth and 19, the Pirates punted. Thanks to heads-up play by junior lineman Ronnie Krieger, the Tarriers went four and out on their series and punted the ball back to Vashon. On the ensuing series, quarterback Chester Pruett suffered a massive sack for a big loss, but it was promptly made up on the next play with a big run by sophomore running back Bryce Hoisington. The Pirates turned the ball over on downs but gave a strong defensive effort, with freshman Connor Hoisington and Krieger both stopping runs and Kellan Riley recovering a fumble. Vashon ran the ball with Lawson, Hoisington and Arthur Moore getting attempts but going nowhere. Charles Wright received the punt, and in the next two series scored again and were up 16-0. The Tarriers were successful with an onside kick attempt and began a

Lawson shone on defense as well, picking up a big fumble recovery, giving the Pirates the ball and good field position. Lawson got the call on the next play and ran 8 yards with Bryce Hoisington picking up the first down on the next play. After benefitting from a Tarrier offsides penalty, Hoisington made another big first down. On the next series at third and 11, Hoisington fought back for 10 yards. The Pirates went for it on the fourth and 1, but an unfriendly spot put the Pirates short by an inch. Charles Wright marched downfield converting downs, hitting in the endzone and making good on the 2-point conversion. The score was 24-0 at the half. The second half started with the Tarriers stripping the ball from Hoisington, and a few plays later,
they scored their final touchdown of the night. Pirate Connor Hoisington stopped the extra point attempt, and the score was 30-0. Things started to go the Pirates’ way with Hoisington’s kickoff return. Rookie quarterback Pruett ran for four, followed by a nice gain by Lawson up the middle, just short of the first down, which the team picked up on the next play. Hoisington, Lawson and a fortuitous penalty by the Tarriers gave Vashon another first down. After two more series, the Pirates could not score and turned the ball over on downs. But by now the Pirates were fired up and playing ball. Jason Kruly had a massive tackle in the backfield, followed by a tackle by Pruett on the next play. The highlight of the game was the next play, a massive interception and run by Pruett on defense. On the

Sunday was the kickoff of the fall crew head race season with the Seattle Row for the Cure regatta on Lake Union. In a head race, boats start at 30-second intervals and row over longer distances — in this case almost 6,000 meters. The day was a good warm-up regatta for the season and a great introduction to head racing for Vashon’s novices. The junior women’s 8-plus had the fastest time of any women’s 8-plus, but was penalized 1 minute for overtaking in a no-passing zone, which put them in fourth. The junior women’s 4-plus of Kai Li Scheer, Rhea Enzian, Lili Helsby and Mei Lee Vandervelde, coxed by Haley Smith, put in a solid performance, coming in third in a field that included two junior national team members. Liam McConnell put in a mighty effort in his single, but was impeded by a stopped men’s pair, and then was run into by a women’s pair. Overall, the junior crew was hampered by some missing stronger team members, but they will be back for Tail of the Lake regatta in two weeks over approximately the same course. There were nice performances from the master’s men’s and women’s quads, especially with novices Fred Sayer and Lea Heffernan competing in their first ever races.

offensive side, Pruett ran the ball on the next two plays and punched it in for the touchdown. Bryce Hoisington ran in the 2-point conversion and the Pirates were on the scoreboard. On the Tarriers next possession, a fired-up defensive line with Franklin Easton, Jackson Bard and Jason Kruly combined to drive them back to fourth and 16. The Pirates took over and made a few first downs, but the final series reception by Logan Nelson was just short of a first down. The defense again took over. Bryce Hoisington’s tackle stopped a big run, but the Tarriers were second and 1 when junior lineman Easton took over and drove them back 1 yard; then at third and 2 he did it again, making it fourth and 4. The Tarriers made the conversion, but sound defense prevailed, with Nelson making a pivotal stop and generating a holding call against the Tarriers. A fumble recovery by the Pirates gave them possession of the ball down to the final minute of play. They could not score again, but massive runs by Lawson moved them down the field. Even with the Tarriers scoring 30 points, there was a marked improvement in The Pirates’ defensive play. Linemen Jason Kruly, Jackson Bard, Ronnie Krieger and Franklin Easton all had big plays throughout the night. Openfield tackling by Lawson, Bryce Hoisington, Pruett and Nelson stopped several Tarrier runs. The Pirates travel to Eastern Washington Saturday to take on Goldendale.

Cross country gets off to quick start By BRUCE CYRA For The Beachcomber
Vashon cross country got off to a busy start last week, as the Vashon Pirates and McMurray Mustangs hosted three other schools at their home course on Tuesday and then traveled to the Fort Steilacoom invitational on Saturday. On their home course, the Pirates dominated the girls’ 5k course, taking first place, led by junior Kate Atwell, who was quickly followed by Selena Mildon, Aria Mildon and Jane Oswald. In the boys’ 5k, senior Quinn Weber led the team, finishing nearly four minutes faster than he did as a junior, thanks to his summer commitment to running. Mustang runners Clara Atwell and Dakota Crandall shone on their home course in the middle school jamboree race. The Pirates and Mustangs got a taste of
large-scale racing at Fort Steilacoom, where 41 schools converged from as far away as Boise, Idaho, to run in one of the state’s biggest invitationals. Clara Atwell and Dakota Crandall again ran for McMurray, and the Pirates were again led by Kate Atwell and Quinn Weber. Sophomore Isaac Hughes covered the 5k course nearly two minutes faster than he ran as a freshman, showing great improvement. This week after press deadline, the Pirates ran in Lincoln Park against 13 teams at the Seattle Academy’s Emerald City and Nisqually Leagues combo meet. The Mustangs and Pirates invite the community to join them in the annual Dock-to-Dock Fun Run, starting at the Tahlequah ferry dock just after the 8 a.m. sailing on Saturday. — Bruce Cyra is the father of a cross country team member.

CHALE CONTINUED FROM 1
Dewey, moved from West Seattle to Vashon Island when Katie was young. As a girl, Katie had “that little red-hair, freckle-faced spirit,” said islander Bettie Edwards. Edwards always thought Katie stood out, she said, and hoped to one day hire her at her shop, The Little House. Katie did eventually work at The Little House, and Edwards was struck by Katie’s good attitude, saying she can’t remember her ever saying anything negative. “She was a 20 on a scale of 10,” Edwards said. “They don’t come any better quality.” In school, Katie quickly became known as a sharp student who was a leader both in the classroom and on the soccer field. In elementary school she joined the Vashon Island Soccer Club and was part of a small group of girls who went on to play club and school soccer through their senior years of high school. Former coaches and teammates describe Katie as a talented player who also had a unique way of moti-

University of Portland with degrees in Spanish and biology, Katie, fluent in Spanish, spent the summer working again for Amigos de las Americas. This time she was based in Peru and traveled to different towns as a supervisor of younger volunteers. She had been back on Vashon for just days when the unthinkable happened. Katie was going to meet a friend for coffee and was driving north on Vashon Highway near Shawnee Road at about 11 a.m. last Wednesday when a tour bus apparently crossed the center line and hit her car. The bus was one of three Horizon Coach Line buses carrying children from a private school in Seattle to Camp Sealth for a field trip. Katie was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center but died in the hospital the following day. The driver of the bus was also transported to the hospital with less serious injuries, and children on the bus suffered only minor injuries. Officials on the scene Wednesday said they believed the man driving the bus had a medical issue when he apparently lost STORY CONTINUES, NEXT PAGE

control of the bus. However, DB Gates, a spokeswoman for the King County Sheriff’s Office, said investigators are currently trying to piece together the accident and it is too soon for her to comment on what happened. An investigation could take weeks or months. Chris O’Connor, chief operating officer of Horizon Coach Lines, said the bus driver involved was a seasoned driver, but he was also unable to comment on the accident. “We express our deepest condolences to her and her family,” O’Connor said. “We are doing everything we can to support the investigation.” As the investigation continues, Katie’s death has sent shock waves through the Vashon community as well as the University of Portland, where she attended college the past four years and graduated with honors in May. During college, Katie studied abroad in Spain, worked for the college’s study abroad department and played intramural
football as well as club soccer. Katy Danforth, a friend at UP who studied with her for a semester in Granada, Spain, said in a written statement that Katie was “fearless but responsible, mature but always knew how to have fun.” Katie had a clear love for her family, Danforth said, and was unwavering in her care for others. “Even when I could tell she was stressed with school (anything below an A was not acceptable for Katie’s standards), she would stop on her way to class to chat with me and ask how I was doing.” On her college soccer team, Katie was again a captain and again became known as someone who looked out for her teammates, according to Jessie Robinson, another friend who played soccer with her. Some women on the team began to jokingly call her Mom. “She always had Band-Aids when someone got hurt,” Robinson recalled. “She was this thoughtful, amazing person who was always caring for other people around her.

She was definitely someone I looked up to and someone I aspire to be just by how happy she was all the time.” As a biology major, Katie was interested in medicine and at one point considered going on to medical school, according to Caroline Gleb, a friend from Vashon who remained close to her. During college, she said, Katie volunteered one summer at a hospital in Tacoma and observed in the emergency room there. “She used to tell me she thought it was so cool and she was so excited to do that and help people,” Gleb said. “She had a big heart and was passionate about whatever she did,” she added. “She wanted to help anyone she could, anytime she could.” It was also during college that Katie met and began dating Chris Roberts, a Snohomish native who was a year ahead of her at UP. They were together for about two years, and this summer Roberts went with Katie’s parents to visit her in South America.

“Katie was a fantastic girl that gave so much more of herself than she ever expected in return,” Roberts said in a written statement to The Beachcomber. “She spent the last three months of her life making others’ lives better. She was absolutely adored by everyone she knew, especially me.” After returning from South America last week, Katie was still deciding her next steps, Roberts said, and was considering graduate school. She wasted no time in seeing family and friends on the island, including visiting her grandmother at Vashon Community Care. Another stop she made was at The Little House to see her former boss. Edwards said she thought Katie looked better than ever last week and almost had a glow about her. “I said to her, ‘You are absolutely radiating.’”

GOLF CLUB CONTINUED FROM 1
be working, according to the club manager and golf pro, Craig Wilcox, who has worked at the club for about a year and a half. Now, more than 240 households belong to the club, he said, an increase of more than 60 memberships since he started, and Bender noted that the club feels like a more vibrant place than it did just six months ago. Still, membership numbers are far less than in the club’s heyday about a decade ago, when the roster topped 400. Restoring membership to its pre-2008 levels is one of the goals of the club, Bender said, and long-range plans will be directed by the members as their numbers increase. “We could have a health club there, a covered pool, a covered driving area,” he said. “We could have all these things with sufficient membership in the club.” Currently, he said, a group of members is at work putting together a slate of activities that might appeal to those in the under 40 set, while noting the strength of the facilities that have long been cornerstones of the club. The pool, the largest on the island, was renovated just two years ago. The tennis courts are well maintained, and a tennis pro offers lessons. Mileta Creek, now under direction of chef Bill Rowe, is thriving. And the golf course, a challenging nine holes with views of Quartermaster Harbor and the Olympic Mountains, is kept in excellent condition. Bender, who has been a member for 22 years and was drawn to the club because of its golf course, said officials there are mindful of current trends that show that

witnessed the aftermath of the Falais Gap, then followed the retreating German army across France and on August 26th, 1944 was in Paris to march down the Champs Elysee with his Division. Fritz survived the battle of Hurtgen Forest, received a battlefield commission to Sergeant, and was part of the first division to reach the Rhine. Following the Battle of the Bulge he received a Bronze Star, and at some time in his military duty received the Combat Rifleman’s medal. He was reluctant to talk about the war. Fritz returned to enroll at Dartmouth College and graduated in 1949. He came west to study architecture at the University of Oregon and was working in Mill Valley California when he was hired by Paul Thiry to be one of the “young architects” for Century 21 in Seattle. He moved to Vashon Island in 1963 and was part of the UW sponsored Operation Jigsaw that explored future planning for the Island. He was a member of the King County Planning Commission in 1969. Fritz was an early member of Vashon Allied Arts. The Arts and especially theater were important to him. He headed or was part of the design team for a number of sets for Drama Dock plays and musicals on Vashon. Fritz practiced architecture until retirement in 2000 and always said that the many projects he designed on the Island would be his memorial. An athlete, he skiied with the Dartmouth ski team and enjoyed sailing and tennis. More recently his game was croquet and as a player he gave no quarter. Fritz rarely complained and managed to live life mostly on his own terms. His first love was his family, his second was architecture, and the third was France where he and Jean were able to journey over many years. Fritz survived eight major cancers due to the caring expertise of Dr. Henry Kaplan and the staff of the Swedish Cancer Institute. He was a carrier of the Lynch gene. He was able to die at home because of the care provided by Hospice. He is survived by his wife Jean, and by his daughter Marci Ameluxen Coleman, her husband Ed, and by Jean’s daughter Elizebeth Rutherford, her husband Eric, and Jean’s son David Ameluxen. He loved all of them, as he loved his grandchildren Evan and Brendan Coleman, and Katherine and Margaret Rutherford. At his request any remembrances should be sent to the Vashon Allied Arts performing arts center building fund. If there is an afterlife Jean expects to find Fritz waiting for her at a small sidewalk café in the south of France.

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption
Eli and Wally are the “Odd Couple� of cats. Eli, with the white face, is the Oscar Madison of the two. He doesn’t care about his appearance and rarely grooms himself. Eli gains weight easily and he would do best on a weight control food. Wally would be the Felix Ungar character as he is the fastidious one. As his owner has described him, “If Wally were a human, he would starch and press his jeans.� These two brothers were adopted at kittens from Seattle Animal Control in 2000 and they have been with their peeps all their lives. Circumstances have changed and now they are looking for a loving home to spend their retirement years. They are indoor cats and they are perfectly at ease with dogs. They would do best in a quiet home with adults. Eli and Wally came to VIPP on 6/9/14.
Dear VIPP, When my cat Sammy of 18 years passed - I knew right away I needed a kitten to take away the heartache so I headed to VIPP. I was looking for a siamese because I like the breed, but they Woodie Guthrie & Big Lebowski said “sorry we don’t have any kittens at the moment.� At that time, VIPP was in a trailer behind Pandora’s Box and my husband and I went into the store to visit their shop kitty. We weren’t in there 10 minutes when Geoff Fletcher showed up with a carrier full of siamese kittens! Needless to say we picked out our new baby on the spot! A few days later when visiting our new kitten at the Fletchers, we picked out another one. Once it was time to take them home, we had the runt of the litter Woody Guthrie, and the biggest cat of the litter the Big Lebowski. Elaine & Pete
