VARSA attempts to turn a new page in prevention Group addressing teen substance use now sponsored by the school district By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
Rachel Pattin prepares crushed apples for juicing at the Vashon Winery. The winery gets most of its apples, pictured below, from an orchard on Maury Island.
PRESSING ON IN A GROWING MARKET
Last week at the Vashon Winery, apple juice flowed. Hundreds of apples were crushed and juiced, their golden, tangy-sweet liquid poured into plastic barrels for fermenting before eventual aging in oak barrels. For Vashon Winery owner Ron Irvine, who has been making hard cider for over two decades, pressing apples is as natural as the changing leaves each fall. His small winery now puts out about 1,000 bottles a year as a side project, largely using apples grown on Vashon. This weekend, however, Irvine will join two other Vashon cider makers that are newer to the craft but already making a mark on the burgeoning cider scene. CiderFest, Vashon’s annual cider celebration, has a decidedly local focus this year, as Dragon’s Head Cider and Nashi Orchards will both offer tours of their orchards and facilities on Saturday in addition to a local cider tasting that afternoon. “This year we decided we have some great cider on the island, and we want to focus on the locals,” said Jim Marsh of the chamber of commerce, noting that past tastings have featured mostly off-island cider. While hard cider has been enjoyed in the U.S. for centuries, it’s recently seen a surge in popularity that some have compared to the craft beer boom of the 1970s. Irvine lays claim to producing the state’s first commercial cider, as he made a batch on Vashon that sold at Seattle’s Pike and Western Wine Shop in 1989. There are now more than 30 cider producers in the state, including Nashi Orchards, which began making Asian pear perry just last year, and Dragon’s Head Cider, which planted an orchard outside Vashon town a few years ago and now sells three
With a new sponsor for its grant, new leadership and new plans for how it will spend over $100,000 a year, a group of local volunteers say they are ready to get back to trying to reduce youth drug and alcohol use on Vashon. The Vashon Alliance to Reduce Substance Abuse (VARSA) in recent years has been mired in conflict with Vashon Youth & Family Services (VYFS), mostly over how the groups worked together to spend two large grants aimed at addressing Vashon’s
higher than average rates of teen substance abuse. Now that the two groups have formally parted ways and VARSA has just one grant, members say they’re as hopeful as ever that they can make progress on Vashon — that is, if they can recruit a large number of volunteers to help. “The answer comes down to can we get the bodies in there to help us,” said Chuck VanNorman, VARSA’s new co-chair. Both VanNorman and Lisa Bruce, who was hired last week as VARSA’s paid coordinator, say they are now working to recruit volunteers. However, they worry VARSA’s troubled history may prevent some from getting involved with what they feel is still an important mission. SEE VARSA, 17

types of cider and a perry at retailers throughout Washington and Oregon. At Dragon’s Head, Laura Cherry says she has seen cider grow in popularity even since she and her husband started their business. Seattle Cider Summit, for instance, now attracts exponentially more tasters than it did when it started just a few years ago. “Cider is really having a renaissance, and there is a larger and larger audience,” she said. Vashon’s own homage to cider will kick off at 10 a.m. Saturday with cider pressing and fresh cider for sale at the Farmers Market. Nashi Orchards and Dragon’s Head will give orchard tours in the afternoon, and Seattle Distilling Company will offer local cider tasting and activities for kids. The day wraps up with a concert and dance at the Open Space for Arts & Community. For CiderFest times and details, see vashonchamber.com. Story and photos by Natalie Martin
A group of islanders interested in the benefits of swimming and other water sports has set its sights on extending the Vashon Pool’s season and expanding its programming to benefit islanders of all ages. The five-member Friends of the Vashon Pool formed in August, hoping to keep the pool open through the summer-like days of September, group members say. When that proved not workable this year, they began looking ahead to next year and beyond. In recent weeks, they have been reaching out to a variety of stakeholders, including officials at the Vashon Park District, which manages the pool, and to several community members and groups, ranging from the island’s schools and sports teams to Vashon Community Care and the Vashon Senior Center.
Group members say they are trying to determine how these groups and others might like to use the pool and how it could remain open longer and serve a wider swath of the community without additional financial support from the Vashon Park District. “Our Despite drainage primary issue, Vashon Pool mission is to learn as ends its season on much as budget. possible as See story, page 5 quickly as possible,” said Mark Nassutti, a group member. The Friends of the Vashon Pool, whose members did not all know one another before they created the group, includes people with a variety of backgrounds but a shared passion for swimming. SEE POOL, 12

VYFS clinical director resigns, state opens investigation into his conduct Jeffrey Zheutlin, the clinical director at Vashon Youth & Family Services (VYFS), has resigned from the agency, and the Washington State Department of Health has opened an investigation into his professional conduct. Zheutlin had been with the agency for 22 years, first serving as a therapist and in the last decade overseeing the agency’s large counseling program, managing staff and carrying a small case load of clients, according to Kathleen Johnson, the executive director of VYFS. He resigned on Sept. 29, and Greg Thompson, a counselor at the agency, has been assigned to be the interim clinical director. The agency will soon begin a search to fill that position on a permanent
basis, Johnson said. In addition to his work at VYFS, Zheutlin also offered therapy appointments through his home office. At the dtate Department of Health, spokesman Marqise Allen said officials opened an investigation related to Zheutlin on Sept. 15. Until the investigation is complete — a process that could take a few months or longer — the agency will not comment on the investigation or what prompted it. Johnson said VYFS is cooperating fully with investigators, but also declined to comment on the investigation. Zheutlin did not return a call seeking comment. — Susan Riemer
Solar tour will feature five local homes Vashon’s Artisan Electric will host its annual solar tour this weekend, making it possible for islanders to see a variety of solar arrays. Five homes will be on the tour, as well as what organizers call a “legacy home,” a home with a solar array installed several years ago. Two commercial sites with solar arrays will be avail-
able for self-guided tours: the Harbor School and the Vashon-Maury Island Land Trust. Artisan Electric has been installing solar arrays on Vashon since 2007 and has seen interest in solar power increase significantly, according to Sarah Flynn, a company spokeswoman. The goal of the tour, she said, is increase awareness
of solar and to show that it is not intimidating to install or operate. “It’s doable,” Flynn said. “It can also be pretty.” The tour is free; to request a map to the solar tour sites, email info@ artisanelectric.com. The tour will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. — Susan Riemer

Local property values up again For the second year in a row, Vashon property owners are seeing a slight increase in their property values. According to King County figures, Vashon property values are up an average of 8.7 percent over last year. Individual properties vary, and last month the county mailed out notices to property owners informing them of their new assessed values. The increase follows a countywide trend in which property values are finally recovering from the recession, according to King County Assessor Lloyd Hara. “We’re definitely getting there in some of our areas,” Hara said last week. “On Vashon, we’re getting closer, but not there yet.” This is the second year in a row the island has seen values increase — last year they were up for the first time since the recession by 6.4 percent. But over the last six years, Vashon’s values are still down by more than 20 percent. In southwest King County, an area Hara said was hit worst by the recession, assessed values were up 18.7 percent this year but are still down 19.5 percent in the last six years. Hara, who noted that King County is one of the fastest growing areas in the nation, said that the trend is a good one and he expects it to continue as home prices level out. “I’d like to see everyone have housing values greater than their loan value,” he said. While property values are up, most homeowners won’t see significant changes to their property tax bill, as most agencies that levy property taxes can only collect a set amount each year. The average value of Vashon properties is $419,400 in 2014, compared with $384,500 last year.

Island Center Forest to close again for hunting Hunting could be better this year due to recent forest thinning By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
Island Center Forest will close beginning Saturday for a 20-day deer hunt. While hunting will be allowed through Oct. 31 on the 200 acres of former state lands that make up Island Center Forest, the 40-acre Gateway and 81-acre Natural Area properties will be closed to hunting and remain open for other uses. This is the fourth year that King County has closed the popular, publicly owned forest, where hunting has historically been allowed, to everyone but hunters as pilot program. While some islanders have said the dense forest actually isn’t good for hunting, and last year only two deer were reportedly taken there, one county official says he thinks hunters’ odds will be greater there this year because of the recent forest thinning. Over the summer, King County thinned nearly 60 acres of Douglas fir and red alder at Island Center Forest. The thinning was meant to improve the health of the for-
est, but also opened up some of the tightly packed woods. Almost immediately, county workers noticed more deer and deer droppings there, either because deer prefer more open forest or because they could be seen more easily, according to Dave Kimmett, a natural lands manager for the county Department of Natural Resources and Parks (DNRP). Either way, Kimmett said, he expects the situation will make for better hunting. “We expect there will be more deer taken at Island Center Forest this year,” he said. “The opportunities are much greater out there. The county began a limited hunt at Island Center Forest in 2011, when more than 60 hunters registered and eight deer were harvested. In 2012, when the county established a fiveyear pilot project for hunting, 38 hunters registered at the trailheads and four deer were harvested. During the first couple years of hunting at Island Center Forest, just a small fraction of the hunters who registered were from Vashon, according to Kimmett. However, last year, more than half the 58 hunters who registered were from the island. Other hunters came from King, Pierce and Kitsap counties. Last week Kimmett said he was preparing to speak to local hunters
at the Vashon Sportsmen’s Club, reminding them that Island Center Forest will once again be open for hunting, asking them to register if they hunt there and explaining why he thinks hunting will be better there this year. The county will again put up signs warning other users to stay clear of the forest until Oct. 31. The hunting season coincides with the state Department of Fish and Wildlife’s designated hunting season in which all firearms can be used, except rifles. The action reduces the state’s established fourmonth hunting season to a 20-day season in Island Center Forest, which is popular for hiking, walking and other recreational uses. The deer hunt was initially controversial, garnering complaints from some who live in nearby homes as well as some who regularly use the forest. DNRP staff, however, have noted that the most common complaint since then has been the presence of remains from harvested deer along Island Center Forest trails. Last year the county tried to emphasize the rule that hunters remove deer remains and put out garbage bags for them to use, and Kimmett said there were no incidents or complaints.

Island fruit expert’s military service honored with special trip By SARAH LOW Staff Writer
Many islanders likely know Bob Norton as “the fruit guy,” and given his co-founding of the Vashon Fruit Club and long career as an expert horticulturist and director of University of Washington’s research facility in Mount Vernon, it’s not an inaccurate reference. But Norton’s adult life and career started out on a very different path, one that resulted in a special trip to Washington, D.C. on Sept. 27. Norton was a member of the U.S. Navy during World War II after being drafted out of college at the age of 18. As an active serviceman during that war, he was recently eligible for an all-expenses-paid trip to our nation’s capital courtesy of a non-profit group called Puget Sound Honor Flight — part of a nationwide Honor Flight network comprised of about 150 chapters. “I read about the group in a newspaper article and called them right away,” Norton said. At 88 years old, Norton had never seen the war or service branch memorials that so poignantly adorn the National Mall in Washington. That, as the Honor Flight Network’s mission statement declares, is precisely the reason the program exists — to transport American veterans on “one

Bob Norton at the Air Force memorial in Washington, D.C. last mission” to visit and reflect at the memorials built in their honor. The program, which began in 2005, was the brainchild of Earl Morse, a physician’s assistant and retired Air Force captain. Morse was working at a Veteran’s Administration clinic in Ohio in 2004, the same year that the World War II memorial was completed. His idea blossomed when he discovered that his most senior
patients wouldn’t be making the trip to see the memorial, as age and finances were prohibitive, since most WWII vets were heading into their 80s and 90s. So Morse, who was also a private pilot, decided to offer his services to fly two of his patients to Washington at no cost to them to see the memorial. Their emotional acceptance spurred him to contact other pilots to help give more veterans this opportunity. Eleven pilots stepped up to volunteer, and in May of 2005, the first Honor Flights took off. The network has grown over the years, and in March of 2013, the Puget Sound chapter was born to honor Western Washington veterans, giving priority to WWII vets and those who are terminally ill. Included in the Honor Flight trips are flights to and from Washington, D.C., courtesy of Southwest Airlines, accommodation for two nights, all meals, charter bus transportation, personal chaperones to provide a tour of all of the war and service memorials around the capital and commemorative service medallions. Each vet also receives letters of thanks written by people of all ages from all over the world as well as a surprise welcome at the airport upon returning, with active service members, family and friends waiting to celebrate.
“That was really the best part,” Norton said. “Seeing my family waiting for me when we arrived back in Seattle. … They had kept that a secret from us, and it was such a surprise and just wonderful.” Norton was a Naval ship fitter during the war, stationed primarily in New Orleans. He had trained to be a diesel mechanic on a landing craft in the Pacific, but because he needed glasses, he was prohibited from combat. “I missed not being able to go with my buddies,” he said, “but in a way I guess, being where I was saved my life.” Surprisingly, he was referring primarily to his career. Before being conscripted to service, Norton was struggling through a chemical engineering program in college. But while he was serving in New Orleans, he happened to visit a United States Department of Agriculture site where he saw some of the first hydroponics experiments. “They were growing plants, in nothing but water. … I was fascinated,” he said. “When I got out of the service, I went back to school but changed my focus to horticulture.” And the rest, as most of Vashon’s fruit growers and consumers know, is history.
Despite early drainage issue, Vashon Pool ends a strong season on budget By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
After a rough start this summer, the Vashon Pool had a strong season, according to Vashon Park District Executive Director Elaine Ott. The district had budgeted $25,000 to supplement pool revenue, Ott said, and she estimates that operating costs until the end of the year will be close to that, at $25,174. Compared to 2013, use this summer was up in all categories, with open swim attendance up 25 percent and swimming lessons, swim teams and lap swims up 33 percent. Seasonal pass sales, however, were down 28 percent, and despite the strength of the season, revenue came in $1,500 lower than last year, Ott said. She attributes both decreases to the shortened season and public uncertainty regarding the pool opening date. The pool opened June 14 this year, instead of Memorial Day Weekend, because of drainage issues that were not discovered until spring.
Once the pool was open, however, Ott said it was busy most of the time. “It is clearly well loved, clearly well used,” she said. The park district, which manages the pool, and the school district, which leases the pool to the park district, were sometimes at loggerheads about how to solve and pay for a fix that would enable the pool to drain. In previous years, the pool drained to the high school’s septic field, but state laws now prevent that. At the time of high school construction, it was believed that the pool drained elsewhere, and construction proceeded accordingly, making it impossible to drain the pool filters. Working with engineers and regulatory agencies, the school district provided the park district with three different potential options to drain the pool’s filters. Park commissioners, however, chose to transport the waste water off-island and delay a decision on a more permanent fix. Ott said plans about how to proceed were put on hold through the summer, but she has recently reached out to

school superintendent Michael Soltman and has suggested they and representatives from both boards meet again soon to address the issue. For this season, the drainage issue at the pool did not cost the park district anything, Ott said, as the district’s insurance company reimbursed it for the costs of supplies and water hauling that resulted. Ott said she estimates that the district will receive about $23,000 from the insurance company for those expenses. In June, Soltman noted that the school district had spent about $16,000 to identifying potential drainage solutions.

Support for elders as vital as schools and arts
EDITORIAL
Pool group is young, but its motivation is right The Friends of the Vashon Pool have some ambitious ideas and little evidence or plans yet to prove their ideas are financially viable. But the idea of a friends group for the pool seems obvious as a way to take this underutilized community resource to the next level. A friends group is not a novel idea. On Vashon, such volunteer groups have done work all over the island. Point Robinson would not be what it is today without the close stewardship of the Keepers We need to support sports of Point Robinson and its beyond the ones that take relentless leader. And the skatepark in Burton may place on a field, and the be closed now had a stewpool can offer activities for ardship group of mostly all ages, not just kids. parents not fundraised to keep it open. Now the Vashon Park District is moving forward with plans to expand the skatepark with the group’s support. Several parks on the island have friends groups associated with them, including the Maury Island Marine Park and Island Center Forest, as does the library. And several years ago, a group of equestrians raised thousands of dollars to build a covered horse arena at Paradise Ridge Park. Where does that leave the Vashon Pool? It’s noteworthy that the park district, which spent $40,000 subsidizing the pool in its first season managing it, was able to cut that number to $25,000 this year. The agency is clearly learning the ins and outs of managing the pool. But with so much focus and funding going toward the Vashon Fields in recent years, one can’t help but wonder if other park district programs such as the pool are missing out. For instance, a cover for the pool could be an easy way to keep it open year-round and has been discussed by the district, but there’s no money in the coffers for that pricey addition. With very limited funding and manpower, the park district has few resources it can put toward trying to improve the pool’s offerings, be it adding classes or expanding the season. If volunteers wish to take up the task and lend a hand, the park district should hear them out, and it appears it will. On an island with active youth but limited activities for kids, expanded opportunities at the public pool — which is more accessible than the island’s private pools — could go a long way. We need to support sports beyond the ones that take place on a field, and the pool can offer activities for all ages, not just kids. The island should welcome the new friends group, which can hopefully renew interest in this valuable community resource.
I am Captain Joe, and many of you know me as the head of the Keepers of Point Robinson, or as a member of the small — and getting smaller — public at the meetings of the Vashon Park District. This is not about parks, nor Point Robinson, but about Vashon Community Care (VCC) and its foundation, for I sit as treasurer of both of those organizations. My mother lived the last five years of her life at VCC. When she died at 95, I was asked to take a seat on VCC’s board of directors, and I remain there today. As treasurer and chair of the finance committee, it is up to me to make sure that our income equals our outgo, otherwise we cannot continue to operate. The mathematics of this was presented to you when we refinanced our mortgage, and you came through. We were able to do that last year, with significant savings in our lending costs. And now it is time to present you with the same theme, but with some new elements. VCC exists to serve our island community. Every resident is either a neighbor, friend or member of your family, and maybe all of the above, as our mission is to provide a safe haven primarily for island residents and their families. Now we have more residents on Medicaid than ever before, and part of our commitment to the island community is that no one will be moved out to Vashon Highway when their money runs out. One of the new elements since we came to you for the refinance is that higher number of Medicaid residents. Another is that the cost to maintain residents goes up, but the reimbursement rate for Medicaid has remained essentially the same, around half of our costs. So how have we managed to continue? First, last year we asked for $250,000 from the island, and we made most of that goal. Second, we have a higher rate of reimbursement for some of our activities, in particular our rehabilitation programs. Third, we have been going line by line through all of our costs and have made some significant savings. Fourth, we have actively recruited employees, so as to minimize the use of overtime and agency workers. And finally — I

Open-water swimmer Lynne Cox featured in swim club benefit Cox may be best known for her mile-long swim in Antarctica By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Famed open-water swimmer and writer Lynne Cox will speak on Vashon this Sunday at a benefit for the Vashon Seals swim team. The Seals, a swim team for children and teens ages 6 to 18, arranged to bring Cox, also a motivational speaker, to the island as a fundraiser for the club’s reduced fee program. Her accomplishments and her message — to stretch for a goal, hold to an idea and work hard to achieve it — is something that will resonate with many people on the island, swimmers or not, said Seals coach Lisa MacLeod. “She is inspiring,” MacLeod said. “Her achievements have been amazing. To hear firsthand about her experiences will be phenomenal.” Many may recognize Cox as the author of “Swimming to Antarctica,” her book about swimming more than a mile in Antarctic waters in just a swimming suit, cap and goggles. Her book was published in 2004, two years after the her swim, which The Discovery Channel filmed and aired. Cox is known for several other legendary

In addition to being a high-profile swimmer, Cox has written several books, including a new picture book, “Elizabeth, The Queen of the Seas,” the true story of an elephant seal determined to enjoy “the sweet, shallow waters of the Avon River,” which is in Christchurch, a large city in New Zealand. swims around the globe from the time she was a teenager. At age 14, she and a group of teenagers from Seal Beach, California, swam the Catalina Channel, a distance of 27 miles, in 12 hours and 36 minutes. That
swim spurred Cox on to others, and when she was 15 in 1972, she swam the English Channel, crossing with a time of 9 hours and 57 minutes and breaking the men’s and women’s world records. In the decades after that, Cox swam in countless bodies of water, including across the Cook Strait between the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Her time was 12 hours and 2 and a half minutes, with the tides forcing her backward for the first five hours. Cox also became interested in breaking down barriers between countries, and in 1987, she swam across the Bering Strait as a way to open the US-Soviet border for the first time in 48 years. She needed permission from Russia to do that swim and worked toward it for 11 years, finally getting the approval from Mikhael Gorbachev. She also grew interested in understanding and pushing the limits of the human body, which led to her swim in Antarctic waters, and in 2007, to following the route of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, who led the first successful sailing of the Northwest Passage. She swam off Greenland, Baffin Island, Prudhoe Bay and in the Chukchi Sea. Cox is currently on a book tour in the Northwest and has a personal connection with a member of the Vashon Seals board, both of which helped facilitate her coming to the island. MacLeod said the club does fundrais-

Dear Vashon Community
Do you remember responding to a flyer about the Annual Shred Event held at Our Community Credit Union? Service was arranged through LeMay Mobile Shredding to arrive on September 13th. The truck pulled up Saturday morning at 9:30 to an eager line of community members. Paper bags, cloth totes and boxes were brimming with documents to be confidently and securely shred. In turn food donations were gratefully accepted by OCCU assistant manager, Carole Sussman and member service representative, Kirsten Bachant. As a result of your generous spirit OCCU was able to donate 272 pounds of food on behalf of the Vashon Community to the Vashon Food Bank. The food was dropped off in two separate donations to Executive Director, Yvonne Pitroff. When asked if the donation of giving came at a good time, she responded with a resounding yes! Shelves were almost bare. That relief and joy is what you, as a community, and your kind donations have accomplished for one of Vashons’ service organizations.
OCCU plans on this becoming an annual event to benefit the Vashon Food Bank at a crucial time of year. Even Steve Dewel, LeMay’s truck driver, was so impressed by the appreciative and generous souls of Vashon that he has requested to return with the truck next year! Please consider this an invitation to our 2nd annual shred event next September. A heartfelt thank you Vashon. Margi Amstrup OCCU Vashon Branch Manager
The clues were at Saturday Market
I want to thank the merchants, Saturday Market vendors and librarians who so graciously handed out clues for a scavenger hunt a few weeks ago. I was hosting a summer camp reunion with eight other “campers” who spent summers together at a camp in Vermont in the 1960s. They all enjoyed checking out downtown Vashon and this gave them a chance to experience a bit of my wonderful Vashon community! Katie Bunnell
Lynne Cox will speak from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday at the Vashon Theatre. A selection of her books will be available for sale, and Cox will sign books as well. Entry to the event is by donation.

ers every quarter to offset the cost of the program, and this year they wanted to do something that would appeal to the whole community and inquired if Cox might be able to come. MacLeod noted that the club has not set a price for tickets and instead will rely on donations at the event. With paying for facility fees, swimming is an expensive sport, she said, and proceeds from the event will help keep the club’s fees affordable. When she started coaching the Seals a decade ago, MacLeod said the club had only about 20 people. Since then, it has blossomed and has some 115 people over the course of the year. It used to be that swimmers would leave the club and pursue other interests as they got older, but not anymore. “We have a huge retention of athletes,” she said. MacLeod added that the swim club is missing a meet to listen to Cox, but she expects it will be well worth it. “To me it is a really exciting event,” she said. “Everyone will get something out of it.”

Q:
I know you don’t represent me since I’m the seller and you only represent buyers, but I think you should be the one I talk to about a delicate matter. I’m very happy that you’re helping that nice young couple buy my home. But I feel that I have to tell you that I have a number of cats buried in the garden. I have lived here so long that I’ve lost several wonderful cats and I loved them all. I planted a rose bush over each one. I thought I’d better tell somebody so that they don’t have a bad experience if they dig up the garden and find the kitties. I’m a sentimental old woman and I know they probably won’t care but I thought I’d better say something.
A:
I’m a sentimental old woman myself and I’m glad you shared this information. I spoke to my clients about your rose garden and they were touched by your story. Not only will they tend the roses and honor your little pet cemetery, but they told me they would continue the tradition when their own pets pass away. It’s not unusual for people to bury their pets on their own property. But that can add sadness when they have to sell. Knowing that new owners will honor those places can bring comfort to a seller. Whoever buys my home (in the distant future, of course) will be inheriting three buried sheep, two dogs, four cats and many chickens, and that’s just at this point. It’s important, I believe, to learn personal things about the property you are buying if at all possible. New owners have no history with the property so may not realize that a gnarled old tree still produces great cherries, or that a special bush was rooted from a cutting and planted 50 years ago, or that some of the perennials are prize winners. It often makes me feel bad when new owners start ripping and tearing up property without taking the time to learn what’s there. Every property has a history.

Children’s author reads from second book in a series By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
When an author wakes up in the middle of the night with a concept and first line for a book completely formed in his head, then it might be worth taking notice. For writer Tom Brenner, paying attention to just that paid off with the publication of his children’s book “And Then Comes Halloween” by Candlewick Press. After the book’s success, Brenner wrote a second holiday story and launched a new series. Brenner will sign and read from his latest book “And Then Comes Christmas” at 6 p.m. Friday at the Vashon Bookshop. The original line that nudged Brenner awake back in 2007 formed the structure for the series through a repeated sequential language pattern. Sentences alternately begin with “When” and “Then” to poetically evoke a shift in seasons, a change of place or activity. “And Then Comes Christmas” portrays a young family in a rural setting preparing for the upcoming holiday. Lyrical verses describe the countdown to Christmas: “When the days barely start and they’re over again, and red berries blaze against green shrubs, and bare branches rake across the sky. ... Then hang boughs of fir or spruce or pine, dotted with cones and bits of holly, welcoming winter.” With the standard short length of 28 pages, writing a children’s book can seem deceptively simple. But as with any publi-
cation, each story goes through multiple drafts and the rigors of editorial scrutiny. Brenner may have received a jump start with his first sentence, but there was no guarantee the line would make it to the final galley. “Of the first 372 words I wrote for ‘And Then Comes Halloween,’ about 130 made it into the book,” Brenner said. “Fortunately the first line in the When/ Then pattern, which came to me in the middle of the night, made it through all the revisions.” Brenner began writing when he retired from teaching elementary and middle school in 1996. His goal was to write novels for pre-teens. As a teacher, Brenner felt frustrated by the lack of young adult novels that reinforced reading, writing and social studies programs in middle schools. So Brenner started typing. Three novels and multiple rejections later, he put down the keyboard and picked up the hammer and hoe after he and wife Nancy moved to Vashon from Berkeley in 2002. With a hen house built and garden planted, Brenner found his way back to words, taking a children’s book writing class at the University of Washington that Nancy, also a writer, discovered. “I had hoped the class would help me with my novels, teach me what I was doing wrong so I could get it right,” Brenner said.

Tom Brenner will read his new book on Friday at the bookshop. Instead, the class critiques spurred Brenner’s nocturnal writing that led to the story, which encouraged him to join the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, where he met Kirby Larson, author of “Hattie Big Sky.” That meeting ultimately led Brenner to Candlewick Press.
New manager heads artistin-the-school program By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
Vashon Artists in Schools (VAIS) celebrates its 26th year with a new program manager at the helm. Holly Houston assumed her post in mid-July, taking over from Pamela McMahan, a longtime arts supporter and one of the founding members of VAIS. New to Vashon but not the Pacific Northwest, Houston grew up on Bainbridge Island, where she roamed the island’s forests and shoreline, childhood experiences that she said influenced her decision to move to Vashon. Attending the Northwest School, Houston received a high school education at an institution where the arts were part of the core curriculum. She went on to the University of Chicago and then earned a master’s degree in art management from Columbia College. After 10 years living in the city, Houston and her artist husband longed to move back to the Northwest. “The VAIS position popped up on CraigsList. It was too perfect,” Houston said. “It’s exciting to work with a program that fills a vital role in this dynamic arts community.” The original inspiration for the development of VAIS, a partnership between Vashon Allied Arts and the Vashon Island School District (VISD), began in 1988 when a group of islanders dedicated to arts and education lobbied the school board to build a more comprehensive arts program in the schools. “We wanted to bring what we considered some of the best features of our community — our professional

We

wanted to produce more opportunities for artistic collaboration with subjects like math and science.” Today VAIS annually sponsors about 20 to 25 artistin-the-schools residencies. Teachers who want to enhance their curriculum choose from a roster of 40 to 50 professional island artists. “It’s a big program,” McMahan said, “and a lot of students are impacted. Nearly every student experiences one of the residencies.” While VISD pays the coordinator’s fees, grants from the Washington State Arts Commission, National Endowment for the Arts, Vashon’s Partners in Education and individuals fund the program with about $50,000. As the school year gets rolling, teachers assess what classroom art enhancement they want, Houston said. Residencies run from January to June. Teacher and artist plan a residency by first defining the learning goals. One of McMahan’s favorite residencies took place at Chautauqua Elementary. Evidence of the artist, teacher and student partnership hangs in the lunchroom on brightly painted acoustic panels. Called “A Canvas of Food,” the panels are visual expressions of what the students learned about healthy foods, nutrition, botany and earth science. More than 70 multi-age students and their teachers brainstormed ideas and then painted the large-scale fruits and vegetables under the guidance of Vashon artist Kristen Reitz-Green. Going forward, Houston’s been learning what’s on the teachers’ agendas, which are primarily focused on new media. To meet that need, VAIS is currently recruiting graphic designers and illustrators. Meanwhile Houston and her husband are settling in on Vashon. “It makes a lot of sense that this is an artists community,” Houston added. “The island is so beautiful, the community so supportive — it’s like no other place.”

Shirit Yarkony, DMD, is trained as a dentist and is a longtime entrepreneur in the health care field. Mark Nassutti is a writer and a former marketing executive. Ann White came to the group with a background in education and accounting. Bob McMahon is retired but was in management in the ship building industry for many years, and his wife Barb, whom he calls an athlete in about five different ways, does consulting work in organizational development. On Tuesday evening, after The Beachcomber’s press time, the group held a community meeting, where they said their primary mission was to listen. Additionally, they will give a brief introduction to their group at Sunday’s talk by well known openwater swimmer and author Lynne Cox, who will be on Vashon at a fundraiser for the Vashon Seals swim team. After the meeting this week, the friends will meet again with park district staff, share their information and determine next steps. So far, the friends group says, they have been met with enthusiasm by all the people they have approached, as well as those who have heard of their efforts by word of mouth. “Everywhere I go, people are talking to me about it,” White said. Elaine Ott, the executive director of the
Vashon Park District, said she appreciates the group’s broad and inclusive approach — and their intent. “I love this notion of friends of parks and users (of facilities) coming together and formulating plans and sharing their desires,” she said. Ott noted that the timing of the group is good, as she plans to begin updating the park district’s master plan in December and will be reaching out to all the district’s user groups to see what they would like to see in the plan. “It should be what the community wants, not what I want,” she said. Ott added that she has encouraged the friends group to come up with a business plan and think about revenue as they work to expand hours and use. Scott Bonney, the manager of the pool, said he, too, welcomes the group’s effort and the support they may bring. Stressing they are still putting the numbers together to determine whether an extended season might be financially feasible, Bonney said the group’s help with programming, raising awareness about the pool and making it accessible to more people could be a considerable benefit. He added that there are ongoing maintenance issues at the pool, which is an aging facility built in the 1970s, and capital improvements, common at pools, are being considered, such as a winter cover that would keep debris out, and a thermal cover, which would make heating the pool more

energy efficient and less expensive. Bob McMahon, long involved with swimming, joined the effort with his wife, he said, because they would like to see the Vashon’s pool better utilized. Indeed, with its Memorial Day to Labor Day schedule, the pool is closed most of the year, and keeping it open even one more month would enable some access for the schools, members say. Vashon High School vice principal and athletic director Stephanie Spencer said she recently met with McMahon and will be paying attention to what might come from the group’s efforts. The school district does not have resources to invest in the pool, she noted, but she believes that if the pool were to extend its season, the school district would likely be interested in conducting programs there, both for physical education classes and as cross-training for athletes. If the pool were open all year, she added, the school would likely consider adding a competitive swim program. An extended season and programming could also be tailored to fit the needs of island seniors, a segment of Vashon’s community that is currently underserved at the Vashon Pool, group members say. The island has an aging population, they note, and swimming and water exercise is often good for seniors and the health challenges they commonly face. White, a member of the friends group
who swims in the island’s pools and Puget Sound, said she is passionate about making swimming accessible to all people on the island, in part because swimming is a vital, potentially life-saving skill, and a public pool, without membership fees, can provide access to a wider group of people than private pools. While the group’s focus right now is on learning, outreach and next summer, Nassutti said members are thinking ahead five years and would like to explore covering the pool. Pool covers do not have to be exorbitantly expensive, he noted, and can be permanent structures or seasonal domes that community members can take up and down themselves. McMahon said he knows of such a cover at a Mercer Island pool, and its members erect the cover easily in the spring and take it down in the fall. A removable dome also allows for outdoor swimming in the summer, which many people say they prefer to swimming indoors. In many communities, Nassutti noted, having a year-round pool is a given, and he would like for that to be true on Vashon as well. “This is not some hair-brained scheme,” he said. “There are hundreds, maybe thousands of communities our size and smaller that have year-round pools. It is just a question of how we do it here.”

On the home field, football team wins its first game this season By CHERYL PRUETT For The Beachcomber
After weeks of steadily improving play, the Vashon Pirates finally notched their first win of the season. Last Friday the Pirates hosted Earl Marriott Secondary School from Surrey, British Columbia, and won the evenly matched duel, 22-12. It was a full team effort with every player making contributions throughout the tight game. First year quarterback Chester Pruett led the attack going six for eight in passing with just over 100 yards and two passes for touchdowns. He also ran the ball for multiple first downs and almost 150 total yards. Senior Nate Lawson was back in running form with another big yardage game after missing a week due to injury. He had multiple carries on the night and two huge receptions, the first for 16 yards that brought the Pirates out of an unfortunate first and 20 situation, and the other came when the Pirates were facing second and 20. Sophomore Bryce Hoisington continued his stellar play on both sides of the ball, with multiple carries for positive yardage and several key receptions, two for touchdowns. Junior Arthur Moore made several key contributions offensively and defensively. He had a tipped pass, broke up several plays and made two crucial stops on defense. The line was active with huge stops for loss by Jason Kruly, Ronnie Krieger and Logan Nelson. Kruly also recovered a fumble forced by Hoisington. With regular starting center Franklin Easton sidelined with injury, freshman Cody Whitman stepped up and saw his first action of the year in that position, performing seamlessly. Junior Hunter Stanley was impressive on the pass rush, twice shucking his defender and driving the opposing quarterback back and

Sophomore Kellan Riley shined on defense with excellent pass protection, cleanly breaking up more than one attempted reception. The Pirates scored first on a Hoisington run with just less than two minutes to go in the first quarter. Pruett made the two-point conversion, and the score was 8-0 Pirates. The second touchdown was a pass completion Pruett to Hoisington, but the extra point conversion was no good. The score was 14-0 with one minute to go in the first half. With eight minutes to go in the third quarter, Marriott’s star running back rumbled up the middle untouched for their first score of the night. They failed to convert the extra points. The score was 14-6 at the end of the third quarter. The Pirates final touchdown of the night was another pass completion, Pruett to Hoisington, in the corner of the

endzone, with Pruett taking in the two-point conversion. The score was 22-6 with 4:32 left on the clock. On the ensuing Marriott possession, they completed a huge pass play that took the ball all the way down field before being stopped inside the 10-yard line. They scored on the next set of downs, but Krieger stuffed their extra point conversion attempt, and The Pirates were left to run out the clock and take their first victory of the season. The Pirates play Charles Wright at home at 7 p.m. Friday at the high school stadium. There is a public tailgate event at Sporty’s between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. that evening, and all are welcome. — Cheryl Pruett is the mother of two Pirate football team members.

Vashon crew shows its strength in early fall test on Lake Union By PAT CALL For The Beachcomber
The Tail of the Lake regatta in Seattle featured 44 events over a five-hour period starting early Sunday morning in nearmirror conditions and finishing on a lake made choppy by a frenzy of tour boats, float plane takeoffs and landings, squads of kayakers and even an oar -powered Viking ship. The 4-kilometer head race followed a counterclockwise path around the lake. Vashon’s crew entered 16 events, medaling in 13 and placing first in six. Overall, junior rowers took home five first-place finishes. The women’s eight (Riley Lynch, Virginia Miller, Maddie McEachern, Rhea Enzian, Emily Milbrath, Cap Turner, Shannon Lipe, Katrina Heffernan and coxswain Ally Clevenger) women’s four (Milbrath, Miller, McEachern, Lipe and coxswain Callie Andrews) and the men’s quad (Patrick Hanson , Fletcher Call, Liam McConnell and Forrest Miller) each won their varsity events. The four and the quad dominated their fields, winning by about a minute each. The women’s novice quad (Emma Greenlee, Rhiannon Simmonds, Kate Lande, Mabel Moses and coxswain Haley Smith) and the men’s novice four (Cole Puckett, Seth Rosen, Connor van Egmond, Cooper Py and coxswain Aidan Teachout) also notched their first

VARSA CONTINUED FROM 1
“I think there are a lot of people waiting to see if we can get our act together,” Bruce said. “No one wants to go down with the ship,” VanNorman added. Still, with a plan that continues many of VARSA’s previous programs, members say they feel better poised to carry out prevention strategies on the island. After working for several months with King County, which administers their funding, VARSA has emerged with what members call a more natural fiscal sponsor for its grant, the Vashon School District, a better understanding of the coalition’s roles and responsibilities and clear plans and bylaws that they believe will help them focus on their work rather than wading through conflict. “Being sidetracked like that was a necessary but very painful process,” said Meri Michael Collins. Collins, a longtime VARSA volunteer, was previously the group’s co-chair and now serves on a com-
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
mittee formed to help implement the new plans. “We’re back to boots on the ground,” she said. As VARSA tries to emerge in a better position, VYFS, meanwhile, is left missing a large chunk of funding that was once used at the PlaySpace. In the transition, VARSA redirected around $100,000 in funding that once went to parent coaching and support groups, parenting classes and the Wraparound program, which coordinates a suite of services for children identified as most at risk. While some parent coaching and classes will still be offered by VYFS through a $45,000 contract with VARSA, Lori Means at the PlaySpace said the unfunded programs were heavily relied on by some families. VYFS is seeking funding to make up the difference, Means said, but is unsure whether it will find any. “We have the same if not higher level of requests for services and parent coaching,” she said. “We are hopeful that we’re going to find some other methods to fund our oneon-one work.” Last year VARSA and VYFS, which in 2012 worked together to garner the state-
funded Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative (CPWI) grant, became mired in a dispute over how the approximately $140,000 in annual funding was spent. VARSA leaders claimed the coalition should have more say in how the funds were used and that far too much money was going to the PlaySpace, as opposed to funding a diverse set of programs. VYFS officials, however, insisted that the funds were being spent according to a plan created when the grant was first garnered. King County ultimately agreed, saying the funds were being expended according to the plan and there had been no financial wrongdoing. But the county also ordered the two groups to work together on new communication and conflict management plans and asked VARSA to formally reassess how the CPWI grant is spent. VARSA formed a committee of volunteers that dedicated countless hours to examining the group’s role on Vashon and updating its so-called action plan and budget. Around that time, a few key VARSA volunteers resigned, including coalition co-chair Diane Kjellberg. Lee Kopines has remained the group’s treasurer, and

VanNorman became co-chair after heading the committee that crafted VARSA’s new plans. Lisa MacLeod, a swim coach who recently completed a master’s program in organizational systems, is now the other co-chair. While county officials have said that they simply guided VARSA through the fivemonth process of creating plans that meet grant requirements, VARSA members say it became clear through that process that they could no longer direct so much funding to PlaySpace programs as they entered the third year of the five-year grant. When it became apparent that VYFS would lose VARSA funding, VYFS announced it would no longer serve as fiscal sponsor for the grant. Officials there said it would be too time consuming to manage the grant at a time when the agency needed to seek alternative funding for its own programs. Eventually the Vashon School District agreed to be VARSA’s sponsor. “We did it because we want to support prevention efforts in the

community and we had a capacity to be a fiscal agent,” said Superintendent Michael Soltman, who noted he didn’t believe the sponsorship would require a big time commitment. Funding will now flow through the district, he said, but VARSA will be responsible for planning, budgeting and reporting. VanNorman called it difficult to see the VYFS programs defunded, but explained that the CPWI grant comes layers of requirements. For instance, some funds must go toward specific items such as a specialist in the schools, a public awareness campaign and environmental strategies. Some money can support services such as those at the PlaySpace, but at least 60 percent of those services must be proven effective at reducing teen substance use. Ultimately, the grant aims to reduce the reported drug and alcohol use of eighth and 10th graders, measured every two years by the Healthy Youth Survey, so programs should primarily target middle and high schoolers. What’s more, VARSA recently saw funding from its other grant, the five-year federal Drug Free Communities (DFC) grant, run out. The group decided to hold off on applying for another five years, worried that its struggles would be a setback as it competed with other coalitions to garner the second phase of the grant. Members incorporated some some items that were funded by DFC into it the CPWI budget. Last month, the state state Department of Social and Human Services (DSHS), which helps oversee the grant, gave final

The state recently workshops for parents, including Guiding reduced the grant by about $25,000 per Good Choices and Incredible Years. VanNorman expressed optimism about year for budget reasons. A large portion — $50,000 — will now go the new plan, but also frustration over not to support the CPWI coordinator, who is being able to fund some items the group responsible for carrying out the coalition’s would have liked to continue, including plans, managing its budget and reporting PlaySpace programs. “In a nutshell, we were less empowered back to King County.

Katie attended Vashon High School and was a recent graduate of the University of Portland where she majored in Biology and Spanish. Katie is survived by Dolly and Jeff (parents), Tyler and Heather Dewey (brother and sister-in-law) grandmothers Gertrude Manly and Betty Chale and many loving family members. She was blessed with wonderful friends from her communities at home, the University of Portland and abroad. She will be missed. Katie consistently showed her desire to help others with multiple volunteer trips to Latin America. To honor her legacy of giving, a scholarship has been established in her name.

and updating its website. Quinn said she doesn’t doubt VARSA will meet its CAP, which ends in December, but the plan makes it “really clear with VARSA and the state that we’re really committed to resolving some of the issues,” she said. Brad Finegood, Assistant Director of the Mental Health, Chemical Abuse and Dependency Services Division, said that while it’s unfortunate VARSA spent several months simply working out how it will function, he also believes it is rare to see a group take on a new and complex program such as CPWI and be “highly functioning” from the beginning. Both he and Quinn commented on the strong commitment they’ve seen from VARSA volunteers, something they haven’t always seen at the four other Seattle-area coalitions. “What I see from VARSA is that the pains of their labor will pay off immensely,” Finegood said. VanNorman said it is tough to estimate the current number of VARSA volunteers, but they are in need of many more, and they especially hope get teens involved. The group’s long-term goal, he noted, is to establish prevention programs that can continue even after the CPWI funding ends in three years. To that end, they looking to raise additional funding through fundraisers and grants, and to simply build broad support. “It doesn’t take money, it takes committed people,” VanNorman said. “I don’t think this is an easily solvable problem at all.”
Marianne Louise Jewell
Age 65, of North Lake Ainslie, died peacefully on Sept. 20, 2014, at Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital. Cremation has taken place. Marianne leaves behind the family she loved, her daughter, Nicole Evers and granddaughter, Maya, Washington, D.C.; her brother, Brian Jewell (Nasrin), Minneapolis; her sister, Sharon Jewell (Mark Pennucci), Seattle; as well as her aunts, cousins, and many friends and students. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Dec. 3, 1948, Marianne was the first child of the late Lee and Margaret (Johnson) Jewell. She studied piano and violin while growing up in Wisconsin. Later, she lived with her daughter, Nicole on Vashon. After Nicole left for college, Marianne enrolled at Evergreen State College herself. She did her senior thesis on the Gaelic music and culture of Cape Breton Island, spending months in Cape Breton doing research, and graduated with a degree in ethnomusicology. Then she moved to Cape Breton permanently, joined St. Mary’s parish in Mabou, and became a Canadian citizen. Her mission was to introduce young students to the joys of music through the fiddle and piano lessons she gave. Many of her students have become excellent musicians, some going on to careers in music. Marianne also worked as a proofreader for the Inverness Oran and did office work for St. Mary’s. She was the piano accompanist for the Inverness County Singers, played often at local concerts and benefits, played the organ at mass, and accompanied fiddlers on the Rounder Records anthology “Mabou Coal Mines” and on Mary Jane Lamond’s recording “Orain Ghàidhlig.” Marianne’s strong faith and belief in the power of prayer helped her through her recent illness.

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption HAL loves larger humans and he can be extremely sweet with older kids and adults. He doesn’t do well around alpha male cats but he is good with female cats and dogs that are used to cats. Hal has never scratched the furniture and he always hits the litter box.
PUDGE was the tiniest of kittens who turned out to be a very big beautiful boy. Pudge is an independent kind of guy who loves attention and a lap but on his terms. Pudge is afraid of dogs and small kids so he would do best in a home with adults who can give him his space alone when he needs it.
Dear VIPP, My Dad is 94 and lives in the Bay Area. My brother and his family live with him and care for him. My Dad lost his Siamese cat recently. He had adopted her 10 years ago when she was 9 and they were devoted to each Teekah other. He wants us to find an older Siamese for him-a cat who can handle my brother’s children and dog. Do you have any Siamese who fit the bill? And if you did, could it be taken out of state? 2 months later... Thank You for giving me such a wonderful partner, Teekah. We will enjoy growing old together. Thanks Again.� Bob delongh “And Big Thank You from the rest of the de Iongh’s! Teekah has captivated everybody. She has enjoyed petting and brushing from the entire multi-generational household.�
