Neighbors concerned about drug activity look for solutions By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Fed up with what they say is a marked increase in drug activity, residents of the Eernisse Apartments have reached out to a variety of officials and are working to eradicate the narcotics problem they say is plaguing their neighborhood. Last week, at least 10 members of Eernisse’s 26 households attended a meeting with two King County sheriff’s deputies to establish a neighborhood watch and discuss potential solutions to an increase in drug traffic in and near the complex, which provides affordable housing and is located just behind the Methodist church. The increase in drug activity was first noticeable this summer, according to Vanessa Burgess, a mother of five who lives at Eernisse and organized the meeting. Teens would come by, going in and out of an apartment and spending time in the wetlands, an area where no one is allowed. Needles were reportedly found there, she said, and activity
seemed to increase as men came in and out of the complex to two apartments at all hours, with many residents saying it was evident they were there to purchase or use drugs. Tensions increased, Burgess said, and a few weeks ago, she contacted Deputy Jeff Hancock about forming a neighborhood watch. “The answer is not to sit here scared or sit here freaking out,” she said. “Our goal is to increase political and social involvement and make this a safe place.” Now, adding to the neighborhood watch and an increased police presence promised by local deputies, some residents say they have brought their concerns to elected representatives at both the county and federal levels and to the King County Housing Authority — steps they say were needed because they believe that officials at Vashon Household, which manages the complex, are not Susan Riemer/Staff Photo

Local winery quietly draws accolades Islanders work to respond to recent deaths
Andrew Will named one of the top 100 wineries in the world
Schools hope to follow weekend event with more suicide prevention work
By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
Last week Andrew Will Winery was bustling. Grapes had recently begun arriving from the east side of the state, meaning it was go time for the small winery. After some morning rain on Friday, a sweet, pungent smell filled the air as grapes were pressed in an open-sided building and deep purple juice was already fermenting in stainless steel vats. For two decades Andrew Will Winery, just miles from Vashon town, has produced 5,000 cases of wine a year, shipping bottles to 40 states and several countries. While the operation has f lown largely under the radar on Vashon, wine enthusiasts know Andrew Will Winery, founded by Chris Camarda, as a pioneer in the Washington wine industry and one of the

ers know and love,” said Chris Youman, wine steward at Thriftway. “They’re worldclass wines that are made here on Vashon.”
Michael Meade travels throughout the country to work with people struggling with death and violence. But recently, the author and mythologist said, he’s seen this struggle more than ever in his own community. After a string of tragic deaths and suicides on Vashon, Meade and a small group of islanders are organizing an event they hope will be a catalyst for healing and suicide prevention. Officials at the Vashon School District and Vashon Youth & Family Services say they also hope the weekend event, titled Crush the Fog, will be the first in a series of new offerings addressing grief, mental health and suicide on Vashon. “I think the community needs to be talking to itself and each other about tragedy and loss and healing, and about prevention,” Meade said. By piecing together news reports, funeral home records and information from

FM station to launch later this month Voice of Vashon will make island history later this month when KVSH begins broadcasting on 101.9FM. The station, the first FM radio station on Vashon, is set to begin broadcasting at 7 a.m. Monday, Oct. 13. “We’re proud to announce this wonderful news,� Jean Bosch, president of Voice of Vashon, said in a press release. “It was a big deal when we won FCC approval to build the new FM station on Feb. 21 of this year.� This summer, VoV’s team of volunteers successfully tested the FM signal several times, indicating that many islanders will be able to hear the station at home, at work and in the car. However, the island is hilly and Vashon is legally limited to a low power transmitter, so it will be impossible to cover the island completely with one signal, they said.
Programming for the new station will reflect Vashon’s unique character, according to VoV volunteer Jeff Hoyt. The Morning Scramble will be live weekday mornings, and there will be new comedy programs, shows about community issues and wide range of music. A VoV app for smart phones and tablets will also be available soon, making it possible to listen to KVSH and 1650AM alerts anywhere where there’s cell or WiFi service. Station Manager Susan McCabe expressed the enthusiasm shared by the VoV board, staff and volunteers. “It’s incredibly exciting. Those of us who’ve worked hard for this radio dream are simply amazed as we see our dream coming true,� she said. To follow the station’s progress, visit VoiceOfVashon.org/KVSH.

President’s council recognizes islander for her pioneering research By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Longtime island resident Barbara Drinkwater, PhD, was honored last month in Washington, D.C., by the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition. Drinkwater was one of five recipients of the council’s 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award for her work, which, until her retirement in 2000, focused on the female athlete: women’s physical performance under environmental stressors such as heat and altitude, the effect of exercise-associated amenorrhea on bone health and the role

of exercise and calcium in preventing osteoporosis. “I am very grateful to the group for having chosen me for one of the awards,” Drinkwater said recently. “This is going to be a big surprise on Vashon, where a lot of people think all I can do is rescue cats and dogs.” Drinkwater, as many islanders know, founded Vashon Island Pet Protectors 30 years ago. Apart from Drinkwater’s love of ani- Barbara Drinkwater mals, she pioneered research in the field of women’s athletics, working at Pacific Medical Center as a research physiologist, the University of California, Santa Barbara and the University of Washington. When Drinkwater went to work in Santa Barbara, she said it was at a time when women were not supposed to run more than twice around the track. Her research with female athletes debunked that idea. Additionally, she said, it was thought women could not tolerate heat stress, a misconception that prohibited them

from working in several jobs, such as the steel industry, where women were not allowed to work on the floor. “They were relegated to being secretaries, and the pay scale difference was tremendous,” she said. She debunked the heat stress theory as well. And, she said, many thought women could not withstand altitude and were not invited to climbs in the Himalayas. On a research trip there with a group of women, Drinkwater put that myth to rest as well. “Obviously, they were very successful,” she said. “There were so many false reasons women could not do something.” And, she noted, it was 1984 before the Olympic Games included a women’s marathon, and Joan Benoit of the United States won the gold medal. Discrimination in sports still continues, she noted. Female ski jumpers failed to have their event included in the winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2010, and, she said, she recently read about a country objecting to including sprint canoeing for women in the Olympics, citing the outdated notion that an activity performed primarily on one side would damage the athlete’s reproductive organs. “It’s a never-ending battle,” Drinkwater said. Drinkwater, nearing 90, has previously credited a lifetime of physical activity for her own good health.

Investigation into fatal crash to take 3 months PIE phonathon Responder says bus driver passed out before crossing highway By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
An investigation into the fatal bus accident on Vashon Highway last month will likely take about three months, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators with the sheriff’s office and its Major Accident Response and Reconstruction (MARR) Unit are currently trying to piece together what happened on Sept. 16, when a private tour bus carrying children collided with a car traveling the opposite direction on Vashon Highway near Shawnee Road. The driver of the car, 22-year-old Katie Chale, was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries and died the following day. While officials with the sheriff’s office are unable to comment on the accident until the investigation is complete, one of the first responders, who says he spoke with the bus driver that day but asked not to be named, believes the accident stemmed from a medical problem. He said the bus driver told him he had been feeling ill while driving and passed out before he lost control of the bus and veered into the other lane. The responder also said there was a dead deer near the scene of the accident, but he believed the deer was not involved and had been hit earlier on that same stretch of road. The bus, which had been traveling south on the highway, went through a hedge after colliding with Chale’s car and eventually stopped in a yard on the east side of the road. The driver suffered less serious injuries and children on the bus had only minor injuries. Detective Jason Stanley, a sheriff’s office spokesman, said that even though the accident may seem
straightforward, it will take investigators time to legally acquire information such as the medical records needed to conclude the investigation. When the investigation is finished, the sheriff’s office may or may not forward the case on to the King County Prosecutor’s Office to consider charges. The bus involved in the accident was one of three tour buses from Horizon Coach Lines carrying children from a private school off-island to Camp Sealth for a field trip. Horizon Coach Lines, headquartered in Maryland, is the third largest privately owned coach bus service in North America and has locations in 16 cities, including Seattle. According to information available from the US Department of Transportation (DOT), Horizon Coach Lines employs nearly 600 drivers. It has been involved in three fatal accidents in the last two years, but has an overall safety rating of satisfactory from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which rates carriers as either satisfactory, conditional or unsatisfactory. By comparison, Greyhound Lines, which employs nearly 2,500 drivers, was involved in seven fatal accidents in the last two years. One part-time Vashon resident who knows the bus driver involved in the accident recently reached out to The Beachcomber. Corinne Hill said she has known the driver for 15 years through hiring him to drive for a ski bus based out of Seattle. In a letter to The Beachcomber, she called him a “conscientious and cautious driver” even in poor weather, and in an interview she said she was shocked and saddened to learn of the accident. She also said that the driver blacked out and that he recently told her in an email that he plans to retire. Chris O’Connor, chief operating officer of Horizon Coach Lines, said the bus driver involved is a seasoned driver, but was also unable to comment on the accident and did not return an inquiry about the driver’s employment status.
set for next week The annual phonathon for Vashon Partners in Education (PIE) will be held on Oct. 7, 8 and 9 to raise money for this year’s teacher grants. For more than 27 years, PIE has been soliciting proposals for materials, projects and activities that are not available through the district’s budget. Most grant requests come from those who know the students best, the teachers, though any staff member may submit a proposal. Proposals are evaluated on educational value, innovation, need, longevity and number of students impacted, and approved grants receive funding the same school year that they are proposed. Last year PIE dollars helped fund 40 grants, including Vashon Artists in the Schools, bilingual literacy materials at Chautauqua, student-initiated clubs at McMurray and hands-on environmental science support at Vashon High School. PIE has given out $1 million in grants in the last 27 years, and PIE grants affect all grades, departments and alternative programs. Many PIE-funded materials, such as books and musical instruments, endure years or even decades after purchase. PIE volulnteers will be calling islanders to solicit donations of any size. Historically, more than 90 percent of all donations go directly to funding grants. For more information, call Jenna Riggs at 567-5999 or see www.VashonPIE. org. Tax deductible contributions may be sent directly to PIE, P.O. Box 1645, Vashon.

EDITORIAL
Recent deaths are not a trend, but one is too many In small communities, death is felt greatly. The untimely death of one of our own sends ripples of shock and grief that are felt not only by the deceased’s loved ones, but by wider circles on Vashon and sometimes by people who didn’t even know the them. For some time now, islanders have been discussing how an alarmingly high number of tragic deaths have occurred on Vashon in recent years. Many have been suicides, but others have been accidents, such as car crashes or drug overdoses. Michael Meade, who is organizing the Crush the Fog event this weekend, has counted 15 of what he considers tragic deaths in a two-year period, 10 of them suicides. Statistics kept by King County show there were six suicides on Vashon last year, twice as many as any year over the last two decades of available data. It should be noted, however, that there’s no evidence that an uptick in tragic deaths or suicides on the island is anything more than random. Public health officials explain that it takes years of data to establish a trend, and when looking at numbers as small as Vashon’s, even a doubled statistic may not mean much. It’s good that a small group of islanders from various walks of life is now working to try to help the community, and particularly youth, work through lingering grief and find hope in life. It’s also good that the school district continues to consider how it can incorporate suicide prevention in the schools and help everyone have a better grasp on mental health issues. We should do these things not because of any perceived trend on Vashon, but because like anywhere, even one death by suicide or one death by drug overdose is one too many. Suicide is complex, and in nine out of 10 deaths by suicide, mental disorders and/or substance abuse has been found to contribute. Studies have shown that early intervention to promote health in young people goes a long way to prevent mental health issues and other problems later in life. In fact, King County Executive Dow Constantine recently proposed a countywide levy that would target children’s health in hopes of reducing the demand for county services, including criminal justice programs, down the road. On Vashon, like in many places, funding for mental health services leaves much to be desired. Our social services agency, Vashon Youth & Family Services, has seen its funding continually shrink. A community healing event makes sense and in large part will be what those who attend make of it. Recognizing grief is a first step to recovery. But to stop future suicides and other preventable deaths, we should look beyond any single event to what we can offer to the most vulnerable in our community and particularly to young people.
I’m sitting on a wobbly green plastic resin chair, on the front lawn, in the dark. Across the harbor, pale-yellow lights of a distant cabin echo on black water, undulating pillars of light, a dozen stilled comets. In the house, every light in every room is lit. Our youngest boy and my wife Maria stand momentarily framed in an upstairs window, posed like a pair of dolls in an elaborate dollhouse. In Maria’s arms are a stack of school clothes, laundered bedding and a pair of brand-new soccer shoes. I’m stacking scraps of pine shelving in a makeshift fire pit. Two summers ago I’d plopped the enameled tub from a rusted-out Weber grill on concrete blocks so the kids could roast marshmallows after a camping trip. It’s sat there ever since. In the dented basin sits a blackened, half-burned log left over from last summer and a pile of burned-up fireworks and shreds of red paper that the kids collected from the beach on the fifth of July. I squeeze charcoal lighter on the pyramid of knotty-pine, and at the touch of a match, the heap erupts into a jolly fire. The pine snaps and pops in the flames as the halfburned log turns quickly to shimmering embers. Deep in the fire a slender blue-green flame sputters, smudges of unburned black powder and pyrotechnic copper in a blackened Kraft-paper tube. The screen on the sliding glass door slams with a familiar crack and our youngest boy, followed by the family dog, ambles out to join me in the green plastic resin chairs circling the fire pit. The dog licks my hand in salute. Our boy tries several different seats, stalked by drifting smoke. We sit in an easy silence, mesmerized by orange
FAMILY LIFE By KEVIN POTTINGER flames. The dog tiptoes off to inspect a fresh peanut butter jar in the recycling bin. “Whoa.” Our youngest boy jumps onto the seat of his wobbly green chair as a shower of green and blue sparks illuminates the fire pit. The Black Cat Molten-Madness Fountain may have been a disappointing dud on the Fourth of July, but it’s been baking in blistering sun for two months. After the sparks subside, our youngest boy enthuses that it would be really cool if pinwheels shot off in the fire. He makes a sputtering sound and spins his fingers in tight circles to illustrate how fun it could be. I grunt noncommittally, picturing his hair on fire, while the rest of the kids file out the sliding-glass door to take seats around the fire. My wife Maria arrives with an armload of graham crackers, marshmallows, Hershey bars, paper towels, two long woodenhandled barbeque forks, a small paper bag and her phone.

Vashon Theatre
Support the new effort Vashon is a small place, and we are being given a big gift by the Vashon Theatre. This fall they are screening superb live theater and dance events. So far I have seen two remarkable performances, “Two Gentlemen of Verona” as performed by the
Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-Upon-Avon, and “Medea” by England’s National Theatre. It doesn’t get any better than this.w Sadly, the turnout has been less than encouraging. We are a strong art-loving community, and I hope we will not only support Vashon Theatre in this endeavor, which other communities can only dream of getting, but enrich ourselves as well.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
STAFF PUBLISHER: ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR: CIRCULATION:
odontic appliances, she’s brought Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for them, to substitute for the stickysweet roasted marshmallows. Our youngest girl bursts into tears. Her older sister puts her arm around her. It’s late. Our oldest kids begin roasting marshmallows impaled on the wooden-handled forks. Our oldest boy remarks that the forks are a big improvement over the last year’s kebab skewers, which had to be handled with oven mitts. A pine board pops in the fire, sending an aftershock of red embers into the air. Our youngest boy jumps onto his seat, rather deliberately this time, while I stamp out a few cinders that have drifted into dry grass. Our youngest girl says she’s scared. It’s getting chilly. Our oldest boy claims that he can see his breath. Maria asks the kids to name their favorite memory of summer. Our oldest boy thinks for a moment, brightens and says “Swimming at Dockton!” Our oldest girl offers the trip to Illinois as her favorite. Our youngest kids, still upset at having to eat Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, refuse to admit to any favorite memory. We watch the fire in silence. Maria shivers, and with a shared glance, we begin gathering up the supplies to head back into the house. Our oldest boy asks if we should pour water on the fire. “Nah, just let it burn.” I mutter. When everyone’s tucked in, I turn off the light in the kid’s room, and watch the last embers flicker, fade, and finally turn to black.

We still have the opportunity this fall to see “Streetcar Named Desire,” “Frankenstein” and “Of Mice and Men,” all performed by the National Theatre, and two different performances by the Bolshoi Ballet, plus a series of free last Tuesday films from PBS. And there is more I am not even listing. This is arts and educational programming at its best. — Joan Wortis

Couple promotes community events WELCOME VASHON INTERVIEW Reidel: You say the website takes a lot of your time. Why are you basically volunteering your time to organize and share the information? Welch: We do it because we love it and there is a need for it. Doing something for the community feels good.
Event organizers hope their website helps people connect By JENN REIDEL For The Beachcomber
Vashon islanders Pete Welch and Allison Shirk met four years ago through music. She is a singer/songwriter/ guitarist and grant writer. He says he can’t sing or play music, but he loves being around it, and that is how he got into booking shows at many island venues like the Red Bicycle, the island’s Strawberry Festival and Concerts in the Park. Both dream up a lot of projects. One of their projects is Vashon Events at vashonevents.com, a poster-driven website listing arts and cultural events and charity fundraisers happening on Vashon. Jenn Reidel: What is at the heart of Vashon Events? Allison Shirk: It is all about building community. We have had people write to us about Vashon Events, and they said, “I have just moved here and want to thank you for your site, because I already feel way more connected to the community.” People who come to the island can see they are part of something. We love that. Pete Welch: Allison hit on that pretty directly. We are welcoming new people to the island, but we are also welcoming our community to get together and get out and enjoy some of the great events going on here. So come out. Quit sitting on your couch and enjoy life. Life is short.
Shirk: I am from a really small town in Texas. When I moved here, I wanted to feel connected to the island. I feel more connected here than I did in Texas in a lot of ways. That drives us. We want to know who our neighbors are. We are raising young kids and we want this to be a safe community. Welch: I have met so many people through music, and now Vashon Events. When I first meet them, I meet them for what they do. They may play a guitar or they may paint watercolors, but then you start building a relationship with this person, and all of a sudden they are your friends and all of the other stuff takes a backseat. We have made some really great friendships with people, and that is important to us. Reidel: What other ideas do you have for Vashon Events? Shirk: It is not hard to draw a connection to the fact that there is a drug problem on the island with our youth because there are no places for our youth to go. One of our goals in the future for Vashon Events is to figure out a way to highlight the events that are kid friendly and especially for young adults under 21. We also want to expand the site to include civic activities. — Jenn Reidel is a freelance web designer, fine art photographer and writer who lives on Vashon.

with Dr. Marc O. Langland
Tips for maintaining a healthy smile
Did you know?
Did you know eating a single jolly rancher is worse for your teeth than an entire candy bar. Numerous studies have shown that tooth decay correlates more strongly with the length of time of sugar exposure than it does with the amount of sugar. Because of this, snacking on carbohydrates, (candy, dried fruits, crackers), or sipping on carbonated beverages have shown to be more destructive to the teeth than the occasional sugar binge. We recommend limiting your intake of all refined carbohydrates, but it you must satisfy a craving, stick to those treats that clear the mouth quickly.

SCENE & HEARD: CAMPUS ART The Harbor School, in collaboration with the Vashon Park District (VPD), recently teamed up with island metal artist Atom Kahn to create metal silhouettes of children in active and playful poses, which will adorn the chain link fence between the VES fields and Harbor School’s campus. “When Harbor School presented me with their design, I was absolutely thrilled with this creative way to both beautify the VES ball field park and showcase such a fun art project,” said VPD Executive Director Elaine Ott in a press release. James Cardo, Harbor School’s head of school, said of the project “Parks and Harbor School are great neighbors. We share a vision of joyful kids playing on our island.” Installation of the pieces has already begun, with 30 to be placed on the fence between the parking lot and the baseball diamond.

Step into a world of art on First Friday
Most galleries are open from 6 to 9 p.m. Beginning this Friday, Tom Conway, a photographer, writer, gardener and cook, will display his mouth-watering photographs at Café Luna this month. Inspired by things that look good enough to eat, Conway says he looks at what he grows and bakes and then shares the visual harvest and meal with the viewer. He sees the farm stand as an art gallery and the kitchen counter as a canvas. Anna Witte, Café Luna’s September featured artist, will also display new paintings. Heron’s Nest will exhibit work by island photographer Lori Kay Gustavson. Gustavson grew up in the Bay Area but moved to Vashon 25 years ago. After two decades as a criminal defense trial attorney, Gustavson turned her attention to photography. She says she seeks to capture the pleasing shapes and images so easily discovered on the island. Puget Sound Cooperative Credit Union will present “The Spirit of Beauty,” photographs by Richard Kasden, with music provided by Ken Jacobson. Though he never intended to become a photographer, Kasden said his photographic journey has shown him how alive and beautiful the world is. Raven’s Nest will reopen in its new location, the previous site of Constantinople, and will feature a new collection of

AROUND TOWN Ian Moore at the Bike Vashon is lucky to count musician Ian Moore as an island resident, while Moore’s fans are lucky to hear him play a small venue without leaving the island. Moore and his band The Lossy Coils will return to the Red Bike for a special evening beginning at 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2. Moore’s guitar talents first won him attention, but as the Tucson Weekly noted, his recent albums mark Moore as one of the most diverse and soulful singer-songwriters around.

First Friday art film The Vashon Film Society will welcome Seattle film director Megan Griffiths back to the Vashon Theatre, where she will answer questions after a screening of her newest film, “Lucky Them.” The film stars Toni Collette as Ellie Klug, a Seattle rock journalist assigned by her editor (Oliver Platt) to track down Toni Colette an enigmatic musician from her past. Klug is joined by an eccentric amateur filmmaker (Thomas Haden Church). An offbeat adventure ensues as Klug grapples with friendship, love and being middle-aged in a youth culture.

First event planned is a Native flute concert By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Reporter
Raven’s Nest is on a roll. This Friday evening, Vashon’s Northwest Coast Native art gallery and gift shop will reopen in a different space. On Saturday, Raven’s Nest will bring Grammy-nominated Native flute player Vince Redhouse to the island for a concert at the high school. And in December, Israel Shotridge, co-owner of the gallery and shop, will be one of four featured Northwest Native artists at the National Museum of American Indians in Washington, D.C.
Raven’s Nest has taken over the site that formerly housed Constantinople, the clothing store that closed this summer. According to Sue Shotridge, gallery coowner along with her husband Israel, the relocation will allow Raven’s Nest to expand the gifts they carry and display more unique carvings by Israel. “Our focus will be Northwest Coast Native imagery in multiple products,” Sue said, “from gifts to original works, high to low end. People can commission work as well. We think it will be a great island resource for the holidays.” But retail is not the sum total of the Shotridge’s new vision for Raven’s Nest. As they did when the couple first arrived on Vashon 20 years ago, the
Shotridges plan to increase public programming as a Northwest Native cultural event sponsor. They anticipate brining workshops, lectures, music, dance and weaving events to Vashon. Redhouse is the first sponsored concert, Sue noted, but they’re already planning a weaving retreat for next June. “It’s what we did years ago, but quit when Israel got too busy with commissions,” she said. Last year Israel received a fellowship that enabled him to buy the tools he needed to take his jewelry making to the next level. That, along with solid sales in the reproduction and wholesale side of the business, led to Israel creating speculative carvings and jewelry, Sue said. “For the first time in his whole career, Israel is not
just working on commissions but is able to make his own original art,” Sue said. “We are thrilled to be able to offer that in the new gallery.” Raven’s Nest will also feature work by two other Native artists who share Alaskan heritage with Israel — Salish Coast artists Shaun Peterson, whose commissioned work is on display at the VashonMaury Island Heritage Museum, and Peter Boone. “We’ve moved walls and painted the new gallery and are excited to show it to Vashon,” Sue said. “We signed a five-year lease so we’re not looking to leave anytime soon.” Native flute plauer Vince Redhouse will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Vashon High School theater.

Vashon
has been shaken to the core by a series of tragic deaths that have occurred over the past two years. One death in a close community can be painful enough; but the experience of so many in a short period of time has a profound impact that reverberates throughout the entire community. The scope of the tragedies is so broad that most people on the island know at least one family that has suffered a traumatic loss.
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM`
The title “CRUSH THE FOG” came from a discussion that included Vashon youth. After hearing the idea that violence could be considered a “red fog,” depression and isolation could be termed a “white fog” and suicide could result from a “black cloud,” an animated high school student suggested that we needed to all come together and crush the fog.
It is difficult to describe the succession of tragedies, much less comprehend the full extent of grief and loss they have left in their wake. It is even difficult to gather all the facts; yet it seems that there have been fifteen tragic deaths on the island between October 4th, 2012 and September 20th, 2014. Piecing together newspaper reports and funeral records with accounts from families and close friends of the deceased reveals a devastating narrative that includes: ten suicides, two fatal car crashes, two instances of drowning and a lethal drug overdose. In addition to the shocking loss of two beloved high school students, eight young people between the ages of 20 and 27 have died along with four older adults.
Wednesday, October 1, 2014 • Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber
CRUSH THE FOG HAS TWO DISTINCT MOVEMENTS: The intention is to create a catalytic event that offers solace and healing, that uses ritual and music to acknowledge and release some of the energy connected to the recent tragic losses. Although the focus will begin with those who have died traumatically in the past two years; there are many others who deserve to be remembered and honored as well.
THE FIRST PART occurs outside the Open Space and focuses upon a symbolic fire which will be used to clear away any obstacles and a heartfelt honoring of those who have died. This ceremony will conclude at dark with a collective song and a shrine of candles lit for all who have passed. THE SECOND PART takes place inside the Open Space and involves a celebration of life which includes an honoring of each and every island youth who attends the event. Thus, the first movement honors those who have passed and the second part encourages the living to live fully. The youth ceremony is followed by live music from island musicians including Jacob Bain and Sarah Christine as well as several youth bands. A variety of foods will also be offered through the generosity of local restaurants, stores and community members.
So, in the wake of all this loss and in the interest of healing; in the hope of bringing people of all ages together and of supporting those most affected, a diverse group of caring people have crafted a community healing gathering.
Michael Meade, for the Crush The Fog Committee
Everyone is welcome and all parts of the event are offered free of charge.
Is there a cost to attend Crush the Fog? No. Through the generosity of businesses, organizations and community members all aspects of the event are free. Is the event appropriate for young children? Each family will have to make their own decision; typically children find both beauty and encouragement in meaningful gatherings and often resonate with where their parents are connected. Who qualifies as youth? Current understanding considers youth to include all those between 12 and 27 years of age. How can I get further information? Visit our website at crushthefog.org Email any questions to crushthefog@gmail.com. We are a volunteer group, but we will do our best to answer any questions. Will alcohol be served at this event? This is intended as a substance-free life-enhancing community event. Will food be available? Yes; due to the generosity of Island restaurants and stores there will be a variety of light foods available after the events move indoors.

JACOB BAIN
The youngest one was also the first to be claimed by tragedy; he was only 14 years old, just beginning high school. The most recent loss took the life of a 22 year old young woman who had recently graduated from college. The reverberations of shock and loss have become so palpable and unrelenting that many people now respond with “not one more” upon hearing that another heart-breaking event has occurred. Although this procession of tragedies is confusing and painful to talk about, there is also a sense that a community response is needed in order to acknowledge the collective pain and support those most affected. No solitary individual and no single family is able to or intended to carry the full burden of tragedy. The word community concludes with “unity,” suggesting that a unified community of souls can help distribute the enduring weight of tragic loss.

OUR LANGUAGE SHOULD REFLECT KINDNESS AND COMPASSION This letter is in response to the article about the rising number of suicides on Vashon and in King County (“County, island react to spike in youth suicides,” Aug. 17). My precious 14-year-old son, Palmerston Burk, died by suicide in October of 2012. Did you notice I said “died by” rather than “committed” suicide? The word “committed” implies judgment and contributes to the stigma and negative connotations associated with suicide. Historically, suicide was considered a crime. Criminals commit crimes, and people who die by suicide are not criminals. A person does not “commit” cancer or a heart attack any more than they “commit” suicide. By changing your language about suicide,
you’re offering a countercultural act of kindness By adjusting our and compassion. language toward It may also allow a suicide, we can person who needs help to step forperhaps change ward and ask for the stigma and it without fear of misunderstanding stigma. The May 22, associated with it. 2013, issue of Newsweek magazine contains an exploration of why suicide is an alarmingly common occurrence. Self-harm is the leading cause of death among people in
the developed world for ages 15 to 49. Worldwide, a person dies by suicide every 40 seconds. By adjusting our language toward suicide, we can perhaps change the stigma and misunderstanding associated with it. To that end, I urge people to visit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention website at www.afsp.org to educate themselves and help bring this horrible, growing issue out of the darkness. Finally, I wish to thank the wonderful community of Vashon, which continues to encourage my family and honor my beautiful son’s memory.

WINERY CONTINUED FROM 1
Tucked on five forested acres off Bank Road, Andrew Will Winery has the feel of both a high-end operation and a small family business. On Friday, Will Camarda — Chris’s son and the “Will” in Andrew Will — oversaw the small handful of employees pressing grapes. A Greater Swiss Mountain Dog named Bigger patrolled a neatly landscaped yard, and chickens scurried around in a nearby pen. Inside a modern home, Chris worked in his office while a loaf of bread baked in the oven. “We’re focused on what we’re doing as a kind of craft,” Chris said, explaining that unlike some winemakers, he and his small staff take an artisan approach to wine. He likens wine more to food than to alcohol, he said, something to be savored with a meal and enjoyed while socializing. He also considers his wine an “agricultural statement,” he said. While Washington is fairly new on the wine scene, Chris believes the state actually has has one of the best climates in the world for growing Merlot, Cabernet and Cabernet Franc grapes. Many Northwest wineries use blends of grapes from a variety of wineries, but each of Andrew Will’s vintages are intentionally sourced from the same place. Grapes come from four specific vineyards in the Columbia Valley and the Horse Haven Hills area. Chris is part owner of one, the Champoux Vineyard just outside Yakima, and in 2000 he planted the 30-acre Two Blondes Vineyard a couple miles away. “When you’re making wine, you start to realize how important the vineyards are,” Chris said. “I wanted the experience of planting my own vineyard, making my own mistakes and correcting them.” Every location turns out different types of grapes, Chris noted, and weather each year affects the crops as well, giving grapes unique characteristics that Chris says he hopes to reflect in each wine. Bottles are named after the winery the grapes originated from, something that’s traditional in Europe but not common in the Northwest. “It captures something from the past,” he said. “It captures something from that time and from the agricultural world.”

Chris founded Andrew Will in 1989, after developing a passion and a palate for wine during 20 years working at upscale Seattle restaurants such as IL Bistro and The Oyster Grotto. With encouragement from his wife Annie, he set up his first shop in a 10-by-60-foot industrial space in Seattle and dubbed the operation Andrew Will after his nephew Andrew and son Will. Without any training or experience in winemaking, Chis simply tried to make wine that he himself would like to drink, he said, with grapes from a couple choice vineyards — Ciel du Cheval and Champoux in south central Washington. He also picked up tips from other Washington winemakers he had come to know through the restaurant industry. “They were kind enough to help me out often,” he said. However, Chris quickly proved he could join the ranks of those winemakers when his first efforts were met with good reviews by Seattle critics. “That was a seal of approval,” he said. “It helped us in Seattle right away.” In 1991, his second vintage was named to a top 10 list by Robert Parker, one of the nation’s leading wine critics. Still, Chris said, he kept his eye not on critical acclaim, but on making good wine, and making enough of it to turn a profit. He made five vintages in his cramped Seattle quarters and after a half-dozen years was able to leave his restaurant job to focus on wine full-time. In 1994, Chris and Annie, along with their two young children, moved to Vashon, building a home and stateof-the-art winemaking facilities on a picturesque plot just west of Fisher Pond. Annie, who kept gardens there and enjoyed cooking while the rest of the family worked at the winery, died from cancer in 2005. One of the winery’s labels still carries her name. “I don’t know if things would have turned out this way for me as a winemaker had I never met her,” Chris said. These days, Andrew Will is still a family affair. Will, who graduated from Vashon High School in 2005, recently joined his father as winemaker. Now 27 and married, Will has a degree in geology from the University of Washington, but always loved the winery, he said, and now commutes there from his home in Seattle. Will says that in addition to challenging process of winemaking, he enjoys the social

aspect of wine. He can often be found at tastings and events. “It’s a product people do truly enjoy,” he said. “It’s definitely a connected community in that sense.” Though they currently have no plans to grow, Will’s work at the winery frees Chris to spend more time at his vineyards, where his staff says he has a special touch with grapes. “He has a unique ability to know when to pick the grapes at the right time,” said Robin Pollard, who lives and works at the winery, “and how to do things in the vineyards that are going to influence the final product, which is the wine.” Andrew Will Winery is not open to the public and doesn’t even have a sign — Chris says that was never part of their vision — but they sometimes donate to local auctions and six of their wines are available at Thriftway. Youman, at Thriftway, said that with a top price of $75, the wine is “underpriced considering the quality,” and he noted the less expensive black label bottles that go for around $30. Pollard, who has also been head of the Washington State Wine Commission, called the latest top-100 award from Wine & Spirits Magazine significant, but emphasized that a positive review from a customer can be just as rewarding. “At the end of the day, if we can make people feel good and give them a product that’s memorable, and they share with their friends and have a wonderful experience, that’s where the real satisfaction come in.”

The Pirate soccer team has started off the season undefeated, boasting a 3-0 record so far. Coach Karen Olsen, new to the program this year, says she likes what she has seen and is looking ahead to future success. “Seeing the team progress over these past few weeks and watching them improve their skills and knowledge for the sport has been extremely rewarding. I think the team, and the program, has a lot of promise and will continue to improve in the coming years.” The junior varsity team also is undefeated, tying its first two games and winning its game last Friday, while they were playing short two players. Coach Jim Westcott, who joined the program just last week, had high praise for the girls. “Not only did they hold their own, they rose to the challenge and won the game 3-1,” he said. “That shows a lot of character.” The girls’ varsity team plays at home at 6 pm. Thursday. Above, Ida Johansen, an exchange student from Denmark, closes in on the ball in a game against Chief Sealth High School.
Game time temperature was a sweltering 85 degrees as Vashon took on Goldendale in Naches on Saturday. It was 17 Pirates versus 50 Timberwolves. The stands were bathed in purple with at least 100 Goldendale supporters and about a dozen tie-dyed Vashon faithful. The game was off to an inauspicious start as running back Bryce Hoisington took the kickoff, made a nice return only to have the ball stripped away and recovered by Goldendale. Fortunately for The Pirates, the Timberwolves went nowhere with their first possession with a horrific snap on fourth down, sending the ball 20 yards past the quarterback’s head. The Pirates took over with good field position, made a first down, then on third down, an epic line fail resulted in the first of five quarterback sacks. Under heavy pressure, Pirate punter Chester Pruett got off a scrambling running kick that bounced within inches of the end zone before barely tipping in, giving Goldendale the ball on the 20 yard line. Goldendale marched down the field completing first downs until Arthur Moore picked an errant throw on the 5-yard line and ran the ball back 45 yards to mid-field. On The Pirates next possession, quarterback Pruett went down under a pile of purple for the second time, and the ball was turned over on downs. Goldendale’s next drive was stifled by Vashon’s defense. With The Pirates’ next possession, things got rolling with a full team effort converting five successive first downs. Moore, Bryce Hoisington, Pruett and Darren May all rumbled for yardage, ending with a big run by May for his first touchdown of the

season. The extra point attempt was unsuccessful, but The Pirates were on the board, 6-0. Carlos Hernandez, in his first game as a Pirate, had a beautiful kickoff, but it was returned 20 yards by Goldendale. They were able to convert four first downs and got into the end zone with a pass on fourth and 7. Their extra point was good, and the score was 8-6 Timberwolves. Moore received the ensuing Goldendale kickoff and brought it back for short yardage. On the first play from scrimmage, quarterback Pruett received his third sack, leading to an eventual punt on fourth and 11. Goldendale scored on their next possession, making it 14-6 with a minute to go in the first half. The Pirates kicked off to start the third quarter and quickly pounced on Goldendale runners. Tackles by Pruett and Connor Hoisington and a big tackle for loss by junior Ronnie Krieger forced the Timberwolves to turn the ball over on downs. After making three first downs, The Pirates fumbled the ball, which was recovered by Goldendale. Vashon continued to scrabble back. On the next possession, senior Jason Kruly rolled over Goldendale’s quarterback, resulting in a fourth and 16. With a favorable punt, Vashon got the ball on the 50. Down markers were moved a few times thanks to the running of Bryce Hoisington, Moore, May and Pruett, until Pruett was sacked again. On the next play, Vashon dodged a bullet when the Timberwolves had a touchdown called back on a holding call. With the Timberwolves facing a first and 20, Franklin Easton forced a no gain, at second and 20 another big sack for Kruly, and at third and 22 a pass play was stopped by Logan Nelson and Connor Hoisington. Forced to punt, Moore had a beauti-
ful return. Pruett then threw his first of two interceptions, quickly turning the ball back to the T-Wolves. Goldendale went nowhere on their possession. Vashon settled in and behind the running of Bryce Hoisington (over 40 carries on the day), and they marched down the field. Hoisington’s big run of the day came when his team needed it most. With The Pirates backed up on a holding call facing second and 22, he busted a 26-yard beauty down the far sideline. With 1:56 left to go, he punched in the touchdown and converted the extra points to tie the game. The small Vashon sideline erupted. Goldendale special teams had carried their day, and on the kick off by Hernandez, they ran it all the way back before Moore made a shoelace snag stop. With the ball on the 25-yard line, The Pirates had them driven back and at third and 10 before an unfortunate pass interference call gave them the ball on the 10 and the first down. The next play was a contested late-hit penalty that brought them to the 5. They scored and got the extra points, bringing the score to 22-14 with one minute to go. Moore received the kickoff and ran back 5 yards. With The Pirates at midfield, all were hoping for a Manninglike one-minute drive and fantastic finish. However, on the second play from down, Pruett threw his second interception. With Goldendale having the ball in victory formation, the clock ran out on an exciting Pirate football game.

Senior • Girl’s Soccer Emily, (senior captain), is a strong and knowledgeable player, who shows great deal of skills, leadership and compassion for the sport and towards her teammates. Emily has a contagious smile that uplifts the spirits of the players, and there’s never a dull moment on the field. In the match against Charles Wright Academy, she showed a high performance of dribbling, attacking, defending and creating opportunities for Vashon’s first win of the season. As Emily decides where to attend college and play soccer, there is no doubt she will succeed and become a fantastic role model on and off the soccer field.

Islanders run from dock to dock Frisbee sports take hold at McMurray
Saturday morning under cloudy skies, 28 islanders, including 22 cross country athletes and six community members, ran between Tahlequah and the north end ferry docks in the annual Dock2Dock run. Pictured above, Isaac Hughes leads the pack from the south-end ferry gate. Less than two and half hours later, five community members finished at the north-end dock, closing the loop by touching the gate 13.8 miles later. Laura Johnson, the cross country coach, said she does not allow her team members to run that distance at this point in the season. “They could have and they would have,� she said. “But I would not let them.� Instead, the cross country athletes ran between 2 and 11 miles of the route.

Wyatt Yates throws a Frisbee during a disc golf game. also seems to be growing in popularity at the Burton Adventure Recreation Center (BARC), where Heryford is a volunteer and has seen an uptick in people using the nine-hole course. Even Northwest Sports, he said, has reported selling more discs. Heryford applied for and received a grant from
Partners in Education (PIE) to purchase nine portable baskets and 60 discs to use in his class. He said he is now trying to raise money to install a permanent disc golf course in the school district woods. That course would also be open to the community. “We’ve got a lot of momentum, “ he said.

Frisbee sports are growing in popularity at McMurray Middle School, where disc golf and ultimate Frisbee are now offered as an elective. “It’s a cool sport because nobody is necessarily an expert,� said Tim Heryford, who teaches the class, about disc golf. “It’s something anyone can try ... and everybody is kind of on the same level when they start out.� Heryford, who teaches seventh-grade humanities, began an after-school disc golf club last year. The club was so popular that McMurray decided to offer it as a PE elective this fall, and 28 middle schoolers signed up. Students in the class also play ultimate Frisbee, which Heryford says some islanders have been playing for years at informal pick-up games. Disc golf, which has been called the fastest-growing non-team sport in America,

NEIGHBORS CONTINUED FROM 1
doing enough to combat the problems. Chris Szala, Vashon Household’s executive director, said he understands some Eernisse residents are frustrated, but that the organization is taking steps to address the issue. He stressed that Vashon Household must follow strict landlord-tenant housing laws and privacy regulations, and even with drugs involved, it can take three to four months to evict a resident. On Monday, Szala reported progress and noted that one of the residents in question, who the agency had been working to remove from the apartments since July, recently signed an agreement to leave, and eviction proceedings are under way regarding another resident. He added that he fully supports the neighborhood watch and that Vashon Household staff intends to be more closely in touch with sheriff’s deputies. “We have talked to them and are going to coordinate more,” he said. Last Friday, some of Eernisse’s concerned residents gathered to share their experiences with a reporter, and two children came by to express their concerns as well, including Elias Canterbury, 11, who provided a letter signed by several of the young residents, saying they are sometimes fearful for their safety. “This place is important to us because this is our home — this is where we live,” the letter said in part. The large number of children who live at Eernisse makes this issue important, say some residents, including Suzanne Casiano, who contacted the King County Housing Authority because of her concerns, and a woman named Morgan, who requested that her last name not be used. She recently wrote to Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.)
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
and said she plans to send the same letter to King County Councilmember Joe McDermott, requesting help from them both. “We need our kids focused on education and being kids,” she said. In addition to the influx of foot traffic and reports of needles being found, residents and deputies point to two troublesome incidents in recent weeks. At the end August, Deputy Jeff Hancock said he responded to a call where a 54-yearold man had overdosed on heroin and died in the playground of the Methodist church. Medics revived him, Hancock said, but he noted that play area — which he estimated to be less than 50 yards from the Eernisse Apartments and where Eernisse children often play — draws drug users, who like to shoot up under the canopy of the play structure. Hancock said that while he has seen no overt signs of drug use and its aftermath left behind at the playground, he has seen it in the empty lot next to the church. “What happens, you have needles that are left. They urinate and there is feces; you have this where kids are. It is very, very dangerous,” he said. “It brings crime to an area. Not just that, it brings fear.” In the second incident, less that two weeks ago, Deputy Kurt Lysen responded to a call at Eernisse itself. According to information provided by DB Gates, a King County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman, a known drug addict at Eernisse sprayed blood from a syringe onto the car of a resident who has been vocal about wanting to clean up the neighborhood. Evidence was taken at the scene, but no suspects have been formally identified and no arrests have been made. The incident is believed to have occurred the night of Sept. 20 or the morning of Sept. 21, just days after fliers for the pending neighborhood watch meeting
were distributed. “It’s a biohazard,” Burgess said of the blood. “It makes me feel a lot more anxious about the whole neighborhood.” Indeed, Eernisse’s neighborhood, with several trees and shrubs, is leafy and green, but the foliage also provides cover for drug use. The complex is also close to a vacant lot that had housed a ragtag encampment for for more than a year but was finally cleaned up last fall. The Eernisse property abuts the rear portion of the Methodist church property, and transients come and go through there, Hancock said, following a footpath that connects the apartments to the main highway. Children who live at Eernisse also use that path to get to and from the bus stop. Just in the past month, Rev. Kathy Morse, the pastor of the Methodist church, said she has seen increased foot traffic coming through the church yard from the vacant lot. A couple times a day, she said, people walk through, and sometimes they want to sit by the playground. She reroutes them, she said, and she planned to call the deputies to investigate what might be happening back beyond what is visible there. She had not yet done so when Hancock reported that he had just recently asked two people to leave the lot, where he found them with syringes nearby and stolen wire. The wire was taken from Vashon Electric and has since been returned, he said. Morse, who said she had not been informed about the man who had overdosed in the play area, added that she had been invited to the neighborhood watch meeting and could not attend, but plans to be at any others. “I would have loved to have been there,” she said. At the meeting, Hancock and Lysen noted that some environmental improve-

ments could be made at Eernisse with an eye toward crime prevention, such as cutting back bushes and increasing the lighting in the parking lots. One resident recently took it upon herself to dramatically prune some bushes near the parking lot, in the process clearing a spot where drug use is believed to have regularly taken place. At Vashon Household, Szala said he is open to security suggestions and is considering whether to apply for county funds that may support additional lighting. For their part, deputies say they were pleased with the recent meeting and the neighborhood watch’s potential for fighting crime. “The most important thing is a community who knows each other and knows what is normal and a community that is not afraid to act,” Hancock said. Deputies will focus more of their attention on Eernisse, he added, including beginning a trespass program there, which has been helpful in clearing drug use from other troublesome areas on the island, including the Village Green. Hancock stressed, though, that law enforcement’s attention at Eernisse may help that small community, but will not address the problem of narcotic use on Vashon — or the endemic problem of addiction. “We will focus our attention,” he said. “It does not solve the problem. It just moves it.” Indeed, last week at home in her kitchen, Burgess stressed drug use is an issue she hopes the community as a whole will pay more attention to. “When do you say as a community, this isn’t OK anywhere?” she said. “If we don’t want this problem on the island, everyone needs to decide to call 911 if there is a problem.”

families, Meade has counted 15 of what he calls tragic deaths of Vashon residents over roughly two years, from October of 2012 through last month. In that time, he says, there have been at least 10 suicides, two fatal car accidents, two drownings and one fatal drug overdose. Two of those who died were in high school, and eight were people between ages 20 and 27. While Meade, who has lived on Vashon 40 years, doesn’t call the deaths a trend, he does say the number is unnerving. Some islanders have now been affected by multiple deaths, he noted; fresh tragedies can stir memories of older ones, and the schools in particular have been impacted. Most recently, a mother of two

school-age children died by suicide in August, and a 2010 graduate of Vashon High School died in a bus accident on Vashon a couple weeks ago. “I think we’re all feeling really vulnerable and traumatized by what we’ve experienced over the past couple years,” said school district Superintendent Michael Soltman. Meade recently met with school faculty to explain his hopes for Crush the Fog, set for this Saturday at the Open Space for Arts & Community. There, he said, people of all ages will first have the opportunity to participate in what organizers are calling a community memorial. Meade, who speaks of how ancient funeral rituals can promote healing, will lead participants through ceremonies involving singing, discussion and lighting candles. The ceremonies, he said, are meant to both recognize the lives lost and to help people grieve together.
Through his nonprofit organization, the Mosaic Multicultural Foundation, Meade has led gang members, war veterans and poverty stricken communities through the same processes. “We’ll take the opportunity to talk to each other, to say what’s hard to say if you pass someone in the street or in the ferry line,” Meade said. “I’m hoping people come away a little more whole, a little like we are all in this together.” The second half of the evening will be less somber, given over to a concert, dancing and snacks, something organizers hope will be a celebration of life. Pete Welch, who books local venues through Vashon Events, has lined up some local musicians, including Sarah Christine and Jacob Bain, as well as several youth bands to play. Welch says he, too, has been moved by recent deaths and has felt a need to do something for the island. He convinced
Places of Worship on our Island Marjorie Lou Andersen january 1 1926 – september 25 2014 Born to Garner and Lola Steen of Vashon Island, WA January 1, 1926, Marjorie Lou Andersen passed away peacefully September 25, 2014 at Virginia Mason Hospital, Seattle. She married Robert Andersen, her childhood friend and high school sweetheart in 1949. She was preceded in death by her loving husband in 2001. After graduating Vashon High School in 1944, Lou moved to Los Angeles CA to train and work as a nurse. She and Robert had three children born between 1950 and 1956 which they raised, first in West Seattle, then the suburbs of Chicago before settling on Mercer Island WA in 1965. She relocated to Bainbridge Island in 2007 to be near her daughter’s family and lived independently up to the time of her death. Lou’s intelligent, compassionate and loving nature will be deeply missed by her family and all who knew her. She found her fulfillment and deepest satisfaction in and around her family. The love and affection expressed in her marriage to Bob was an inspiration and model to all her children. She was preceded in death by her brother Max. She is survived by her brother Gordon Steen, sister’s in-law Peg and Barbara Steen, daughter Jenny, sons David and Morgan, son in-law Mark, daughter’s in-law Barbara and Peg, grandchildren Ivy, Nolan, Sarah and Heather and six great grandchildren, Niya, Lola, David, Colin, Rileah and Felix. Lou will be reunited with her beloved Bob at a graveside service on Saturday October 11, 2014 at 11:30 am at the Vashon Cemetery.

several local venues to hold out on offering concerts or other entertainment during Crush the Fog, making it more likely the event can draw a crowd. “I care about kids, and I care what they’re going through,” Welch said. High School junior Quinn McTighe is part of one band playing at Crush the Fog and has been one of a handful of local teens to offer Crush the Fog organizers feedback over six months of planning for the event. He noted that when high schooler Palmer Burke died by suicide in 2012, it was the first time he experienced the loss of someone his own age. “One of the reasons I joined is I feel like a lot of people are feeling grief, but a lot of people are also feeling a lot of anger,” he said. “I feel like a we need to have a place people can get that out instead of holding it in.” Lori Means, a parent educator at Vashon Youth & Family Services (VYFS), which is helping spread word of the event, said that while Crush the Fog incorporates activities that will be foreign to many, coming together to grieve as a group is a sound approach from a therapeutic standpoint. “What we know helps individuals grieve is to open the wound and let the wound bleed,” she said. “That is best done by feeling people around you.” “What we ultimately want from a public health perspective is to normalize emotional pain,” she added, “to make it clear that everyone feels emotional pain at times and there’s a formula for what we do with that.” Soltman, at the school district, also said he was glad to see the event this weekend, but hopes it is followed up at the school district with additional programs. He is currently working to hire a mental health pro-

fessional who will work with the district to create a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention and grief, possibly seeking grant money to fund it. While he said the district is early in the process, eventual plans could include workshops for parents and students, new curriculum in the classrooms, new strategies for one-on-one intervention and further partnership with VYFS or the Youth Suicide Prevention Program, which worked with the high school after Burke’s death. Soltman hopes to have a plan in place by the end of October. “We want to take a leadership role in the community,” he said. “The bottom line is that none of us have any more stomach left for presiding over tragedy. We’re all feeling like we’d much rather invest our effort in doing a lot more on the preventative side.” While no local agency keeps statistics on tragic deaths, numbers from Public Health — Seattle & King County show that there has been a recent uptick in suicides on Vashon. Between 1990 and 2012, there were between zero and three suicides per year on Vashon. However, last year, there were six suicides on the island. Three of those suicides were people between ages 15 and 24. County officials have been quick to note that one year does not signify a trend, and it’s difficult to draw conclusions from Vashon’s statistics because of the small population. Still, Annie Kirk, a violence and injury prevention specialist at the public health department, recently said she was happy to hear of any community that is “coming together to bring some awareness and figure out ways to have more of a support network.” Last year King County took a look at the issue of youth suicide after 11 children
Daniel Richardson Beggs III Daniel Richardson Beggs III of Vashon, Washington, died Tuesday, September 23. Dan was born to Opal Mutch and Daniel R. Beggs Jr of Winchester, Massachusetts, attended Hebron Academy Prep school and served in the US Airforce for 4 years after highschool. He married Grace Eberhardt and relocated to Wilmington, Delaware where he spent most of his adult life. Dan was a regular at the Wilmington Skating Rink where he both played and coached ice hockey for decades, leaving a legacy of ice hockey players including his sons Dan Beggs IV, Jeff Beggs and grandson Dan Beggs V. Dan moved to Vashon to be closer to his daughter and VCC in the event he would need care there. Indeed he did live at VCC but not before he became a beloved member of Vashon Presbyterian Church and several on-island organizations dedicated to healing and transformation. Dan was most often seen in the community with his dog “Angus”, and later “Sandy”. These trusted companions were truly his heart’s riches. At the age of 77, Dan began a new life on Vashon and created a life replete with rewarding relationships, proving to himself that even “an old dog like me can learn new tricks.” “Dapper Dan” felt honored to be able to live at Vashon Community Care with his dog “Sandy” and to enjoy the fellowship of so many who loved him, and whom he in turn, loved. He dressed in a suit and tie every Sunday to attend the church services in the dining room and to honor God and the people around him. Dan is survived by 3 children: Judith Beggs-Ruegamer of Vashon, Washington; Dan Beggs IV of Wilmington, Delaware; Jeff Beggs of Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, and 5 grandchildren: Dan, Jeff, Brittany, Peyton and Gracie. Dan’s life will be honored at a memorial service on Saturday, October 4th , 1- 3 pm at Vashon Presbyterian Church.

under age 18 died by suicide in 2012, nearly three times the annual average. The county convened its Child Death Review Committee, a group of experts representing multiple agencies, to examine six of the 2012 suicides as well as suicide data from previous years. Kirk said most of the committee’s recommendations that weren’t related to specific cases involved suicide prevention work in schools. State lawmakers recently asked schools to play a larger role in suicide prevention as well, passing a bill last year that requires all school district to have plans in place for recognizing and responding to emotional and behavioral distress, including suicidal thinking and behavior. It also requires some staff to complete additional suicide prevention training as a requirement of their certification. Kirk says she regularly recommends that schools work with the Youth Suicide Prevention Program, a Washington nonprofit that has a model plan for schools and offers a suicide prevention training program that anyone can take. “It’s really useful, and it’s a really important skill for people to have, much like CPR training,” he said. Soltman noted that the school district has sound plans in place around crisis
response and student intervention and already meets most the requirements of the new law, but he would like to do even more. Whatever approach the district takes next, he hopes to get started soon, he said, and ultimately plans could take years to fully implement. “I see it as a series of events that could go over a two-year period,” he said. “Some of it I hope gets embedded in our culture.” Meade and Welch also expressed interest in starting some long-term programs on the island, perhaps even an arts-related mentorship program for youth, but said they’d first like to hear what islanders have to say at Crush the Fog. “It releases creative energy,” Meade said. “We imagine we’ll hear a variety of ideas about what has to happen next.” Crush the Fog will be at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Open Space for Arts & Community.

June Knox Housholder Mikulka march 24, 1929 – september 19, 2014
Born March 24, 1929 in Lebo, KS to George and Zola Knox, June grew up in Topeka, KS, attending Topeka High School and Washburn University. She was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and attended the First Congregation Church of Topeka. She was proud of the work she did for the Menninger Foundation in Topeka for 25 years in various positions from Southard School librarian to administrative assistant to coordinator of the Continuing Education department before retiring in 1987. She married her first love, Monte Housholder in 1949, and they had many loving and care-free years together while Monte pursued his PhD and started his career in the automotive industry in Chicago and Indiana. They had two sons, Frank and Dan, whom they adored. When Monte died in 1965 she moved back to Topeka to work at the Menninger Foundation and raise their boys. She had a second opportunity to find love with Tom Mikulka whom she married in 1981. They loved to travel and spend time with family and friends. In 2000, Tom and June moved from Topeka to Chanute to be closer to Tom’s son Thomas Paul, his wife Debra, and especially their granddaughter Alexandra. June loved to take care of people and found joy and happiness tending to Tom when he was in a nursing home. She also looked forward to serving morning coffee for residents and helping out at the nursing home whenever she had the opportunity. She was an active volunteer throughout her life and she loved to read, embroider and garden. She struck up conversations with people easily, quickly making new friends. She had a fun sense of humor, always leaving strangers with smiles on their faces. June was an avid letter writer, sending regular notes and Christmas cards to a large list of people throughout the year. A letter from her always brought joy and warm remembrance. At age 80, she decided to embrace a new adventure by moving to Vashon Island with her son Dan, his wife Trevi and their dog, Misa. She continued to add to her large list of friends, this time with neighbors and fellow bridge players on the island. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Dan and Trevi Housholder of Vashon, WA; stepson and daughter-in-law, Tom and Debra Mikulka of Chanute, KS; granddaughter, Alexandra Mikulka of Lawrence, KS; sister, Marge Cowperthwaite of Edmund, OK; sister, Mary Knight of New Orleans, LA and 12 nieces and nephews throughout the US. She was predeceased by her parents; first husband, Monte F. Housholder who died in 1965; second husband, Thomas J. Mikulka who died in 2008; son, Frank K. Housholder who died in 2013 and brother, James E. Knight who died in 2012. A memorial service will be held on October 12, 2014 at 1:30 pm at Island Funeral Service in Vashon, WA. A graveside service will be held on October 18, 2014 at 10:00 am in Memorial Park Cemetery in Topeka, KS. Please visit her online guest book at www.islandfuneral.com. Donations in June’s memory may be made to Vashon Senior Center in Vashon, WA at 10004 SW Bank Rd, Vashon, WA 98070

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption Trout is a really wonderful, very handsome and extremely healthy 11-year-old tabby. He comes with a lovely gentlemanly disposition. He is an easy cat that likes people and dogs once he knows them. Trout tolerates other cats but isn’t interested in being alpha cat.
Snork started out as “Bubbles� but became “Snork� around her 1st birthday. She was born in the late summer of 2005. As a kitten and young cat, she was somewhat of a loner. As time went by, she became more and more people-oriented, and now she can be quite affectionate with people with whom she’s familiar and comfortable. She has been an indoor cat for the last four-plus years. She grew up with other cats and has spent the past four years with a small dog. She’s more affectionate with the dog than he is with her and she has even tried to comfort him several times when he was hurt.
Dear VIPP, I saw Sheba at a VIPP adopt a cat day in 1998. I just fell in love with her but they didn’t want to let me have her because they thought she had a heart murmur and I Sheba had just lost a cat with kidney failure and had another one with diabetes. But they finally decided she didn’t have a heart murmur and let me have her. She is a Torti with the appropriate personality. In her younger days she was a pill. She particularly liked to demolish an artificial flower arrangement in my bathroom. I finally got tired of redoing it everyday and closed the bathroom door. She let me know just how she felt about that by pooping right outside the bathroom door. She communicates her feelings very clearly. She has mellowed a lot now and actually likes to spend time in my lap purring. Barb Rigall
