Council hopes to update town plan, past changes found unsuccessful By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer

Vashon’s first FM station goes live By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
On Monday morning there were cheers and tears as Voice of Vashon took to the airwaves on 101.9 FM, realizing what has been a dream of some in the organization for over a decade. “It’s the ultimate community historic moment,” said Rick Wallace, a longtime Voice of Vashon volunteer
who admits he cried that morning. “There aren’t that many things on Vashon that have taken so many years to come to fruition.” The new station, KVSH, will now broadcast 24-7, offering an eclectic mix of music, homegrown programs and live talk radio on a low-power FM station that will cover the island and stream on the web. “Sometimes you’ll hear islanders
playing music, discussing topics related to Vashon that are important to people, or you’ll hear music generated by Vashon artists,” Wallace said. “In one way or another, it’s all Vashon, and you can’t get that from any station in the metropolitan area.” Wallace and others involved with Voice of Vashon (VoV) call the effort SEE RADIO, 19
Vashon’s community council is kicking off an ambitious effort to update the Vashon Town Plan, beginning with an informational meeting with county officials next week. At the same time, however, a few islanders are asking what happened to the 2012 update of the town plan, which never went before the King County Council as planned. “I was shocked when I heard about it,” said Melodie Woods, who helped lead a four-year effort several years ago to update the town plan. She learned earlier this year that changes islanders proposed in 2012 never made it into King County’s comprehensive plan. “More than anything, I’m disappointed for all the people who worked so hard on it,” Woods said. “Their work was just sort of dismissed.”
What happened with the 2012 town plan proposal isn’t clear. At King County, John Starbard, director of the Department of Permitting and Environmental Review (DPER), said the changes to Vashon’s town plan were not submitted in time to be considered by the county council in 2012. However, islanders involved with the effort say they did submit required documents in time, and county officials never told them otherwise. Starbard was unsure if there was a miscommunication, in part because the county staff person who was working with islanders then has since retired, but said that person told him the deadline had not been met. “I would say that they had some important community issues to wrestle with, and it took several years for the community to have that discussion,” he said.

Retired rescue dog saved after wide effort By SARAH LOW Staff Writer

When Hoss was treated after being lost, he was also found to have a tumor.
A retired avalanche rescue dog was rescued himself last week after an community effort to find him when he became lost. Islanders then rallied to get the dog the medical help he needed. Hoss, a large, white-muzzled golden retriever wandered off last week and was found by his owner, Kevin Ward, after six days of tireless searching with a team of friends, neighbors and volunteers, spearheaded by Vashon Island Pet Protectors (VIPP). “The support we had from this group and all of the amazing volunteers is what kept us going,” Ward said. Ward and Hoss, who is now 12, worked together as
part of Washington’s Backcountry Avalanche Rescue K9s (BARK) team at Alpental for years. Ward, a ski patroller, began training Hoss for certification as an avalanche rescue dog not long after he brought him home as a puppy. Hoss was fully certified by the time he was 3, and at that time was just the seventh avalanche rescue dog in the state. “Before I picked him, I had read a book that described the characteristics of good working dogs,” Ward said. “and I saw those in Hoss.” While it’s rare for people to survive avalanches, the BARK teams are always training because they have to try, Ward said, and victim recovery is just as SEE DOG, 20

The 3rd quarter brought a lot of activity to our Island market. Vashon continues to move more slowly than Seattle’s market, but have no doubt we are on our way out of the housing market crisis, which climaxed in 2011. The number of new listings peaked at 48 in July (last year 35) but only 17 homes accepted offers that month (last year 24), creating a small glut of inventory heading into the fall. In August and September, 42 homes listed, and 43 accepted offers, illustrating a healthier balance of supply and demand. Despite the beautiful, unending sunny weather of summer, the market did not significantly deviate from expected or normal seasonal patterns. From $100,000 to $350,000, 67 homes closed. Between $350,000 and $750,000, 62 homes closed. Finally, at $750,000+, 11 homes sold, with six of those homes selling for over $1,000,000. Strangely, no homes have sold between $850,000 and $1,100,000. This is a relatively large gap with no activity, year to date. If you are considering buying or selling in 2015, this is a great time to contact your local Windermere agent. The preparations to buy or sell can be made effectively and smoothly with ample time in the fall, before the hustle and bustle of the holidays is upon us.

VAA to hold groundbreaking for new arts center Man camping near Lutheran church arrested for burglarizing the building By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
After years of planning and fundraising, Vashon Allied Arts (VAA) will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for its multi-million dollar arts center next week. VAA will hold a groundbreaking for the Vashon Center for the Arts at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25. Islanders are invited to bring shovels to participate in the event, where there will also be entertainment and snacks to mark the occasion. The event is purely ceremonial, VAA director Molly Reed noted last week, as actual construction on the building will likely begin next month. Reed said the nonprofit had hoped to get construction permits from King County by now, but is still ironing out some final details and expects to receive permits the first or second week of November. It made sense to hold the groundbreaking now, Reed said, as fences will go up and construction will begin quickly after VAA has permits in hand. “It feels great. It feels terrific,” Reed said of being so close to construction.
VAA is also close to completing fundraising for the $16.9 million arts center. It recently completed its $2.5 million public fundraising campaign when it rounded out a push to bring in $250,000 to match an anonymous donation of the same size. The organization is now looking to bring in less than $1 million it expects will come from grants and foundations. Reed said she’s confident the final funds will be raised by the time the center is expected to be complete, late next year. She noted that waiting on construction would mean facing escalating costs as well. “We still have money to raise, but we are so close that the board is deciding we can’t wait any longer,” she said. Ty Peterson, at the county’s Department of Permitting and Environmental Review (DPER), said the department is waiting to get a couple small pieces of information from VAA representatives before it grants construction permits. Assuming VAA submits those items in a timely fashion, he said, the nonprofit should be able to start construction next month. “It’s not yet approved, but it’s very close,” he said.
Studio 101 moves, rethinks its salon services Studio 101, which has been located on the ground floor of the Cunningham Building for several years, has downsized and moved to an upstairs space. The salon no longer offers tanning, according to Monica Craft, a stylist and co-owner in the business. It may also stop offering pedicures, which like tanning are no longer as popular, she said. But it now offers shellac nail treatments, a
new type of manicure that lasts longer. “We kind of decided to downsize and concentrate on what we really wanted to do,” Craft said. While the new space is smaller, it’s more open and is configured well for the salon, she said. “It’s a little more functional up here,” Craft said. “It’s a smaller space, but all our clients are saying how much they like it better.”

A homeless man was arrested this month on suspicion of stealing items from the Vashon Lutheran Church, near where he was living in a tent. The 29-year-old man was arrested on Oct. 1 after sheriff’s deputies found him in possession of goods that the Lutheran church had reported stolen over the weekend of Sept. 27, according to Detective Jason Stanley, a spokesman for the King County Sheriff ’s Office. The case has been forwarded to the King County Prosecutor’s Office, where it is still under review, and the man has not yet been charged. The man was discovered living in a tent in the woods near the church, Stanley said. He has been arrested several times in the past for trespassing on Vashon. The church’s property manager, James Dam, said that something didn’t seem quite right late last month when he noticed that all of the church’s wastebaskets were missing. “When we realized that they were gone, we started looking around to see if anything else was missing, and that’s when we discovered all of the other things that were taken,” he said. Included among the stolen prop-
• Educational Mentoring • All Academic Subjects (Grades 4-12) • Art Lessons (Grades 6-12) • AP Drawing / Prep (Grade 11) • AP Portfolio (Grade 12) • 30+ years Experience Grades 4-12 • References on & off Vashon See Website for more information www.studio115vashon.com
erty was copper wiring, tools, extension cords, a step ladder, shelving and communion bread. According to Stanley, the man claimed to have acted alone and admitted to also drinking the communion wine. Dam did not say how the man got into the church. All of the stolen property was in the man’s possession when sheriff ’s deputies discovered his camp. He was arrested on suspicion of second-degree burglary and released from jail after his first hearing. Dam noted that the church, for its part, is concerned about the man’s wellbeing. “We have to feel compassion for those driven to this sort of thing,” he said. “We have to be thinking along the lines of what are we not doing that we need to do to keep this from happening.” The church was unaware of the presence of the camp until it was discovered by deputies. It is on the property of the nearby Vashon Meadows neighborhood. Bob Horsely, president of the Vashon Meadows homeowner’s association, says he spoke to a man at the camp after the church notified him of its existence and the man told him he would be gone within two days. Horsely did not know if the man he spoke with was the same one who had been arrested.

New leader heads Shape Up Vashon, works to expand health programs By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
Shape Up Vashon marks three years on the island this month with a new leader, a sponsored film at the Vashon Theatre and a goal to reach even more islanders in its effort to promote healthy eating and regular exercise. Islander Laura Wishik recently took the reins of Shape Up Vashon (SUV) as its new coordinator. An attorney and school board member, Wishik comes to the volunteer position armed with what she’s learned on her own recent journey to health. “I’ve become so passionate about nutrition, and I want to be sure people get good information about that,� she said. Wishik, also a mother of two, has struggled with weight for most of her life. Like many, she said, she has dieted and lost weight, just to put it back on again. “It got to the point where I was really feeling disabled,� she said. “I wasn’t able to walk very far. I couldn’t do a lot of things. I was uncomfortable and in pain.� In 2011, Wishik found success with islander Kathy Abascal’s popular antiinflammatory nutrition program, which involves refraining from certain foods, including sugar, sugar substitutes, alcohol and wheat. She lost 90 pounds in 11 months. But when she added certain foods back to her diet, she began to gain weight again. Wanting to understand why, she decided to do some of her own research and dove into reading about metabolism, nutrition and the science behind weight gain
and loss. “I learned some amazing, cool things,� she said. “How metabolism works, what sugar does, about addiction and how the brain becomes addicted to Laura Wishik certain substances.� Wishik shared what she learned in a talk at her office at the City of Seattle. The talk prompted her boss, the city attorney, to replace the bowl of candy on his desk with almonds and apples. She got involved with Shape Up Vashon as a member, and eventually began to offer her own nutrition class through the group. Now, as Shape Up Vashon begins its third year, Wishik is taking over for Dr. Kathleen Davis as the group’s coordinator. “Since (health) has become such a central focus of my life, it seemed like it was a good reason to want to see SUV continue,� she said. Shape Up Vashon has done well in its first few years, Wishik said. It now has 250 members, and its fitness challenges have drawn especially large numbers of participants. “They get people motivated to get out
and do something,� she said. But SUV could still reach more people, Wishik said, and to that end she is looking at how she and other volunteers can grow the program. For instance, cooking classes have attracted around 25 people each, but Wishik would like to see them be more hands-on and to follow themes people may be interested in, such as vegetarian cooking or sugar-free cooking. “I see SUV broadening its membership and becoming more involved in the whole gamut of nutrition and healthy exercise issues around the island,� she said. Next week, the group will sponsor its first movie screening when SUV and Island GreenTech bring “Fed Up� to the Vashon Theatre. Produced by Katie Couric and Laurie David of “An Inconvenient Truth,� the documentary explores the obesity epidemic in the United States and the food industry’s — and the government’s — role in it. The film, narrated by Couric, follows four teenagers as they try to lose weight, explores sugar’s role in weight gain and explains why losing weight isn’t as simple as cutting calories and exercising. “I think it’s really powerful information,� Wishik said. Wishik’s own class, called Food for Life, begins again next month and will meet every two weeks through February. She emphasized that Food for Life is not a weight-loss group, though the information presented could lead to weight loss. When the class portion is over, it will evolve into a support group for those who wish to con-

tinue meeting. “It’s basically a class about how to have a healthy approach to food, and it’s for a lot more than people who want to lose weight,� she said. “People could have other issues they want to address.� Wishik would also like to bring some of what she’s learned to the Vashon School District, where she’s been a board member for several years. Vashon’s public schools adopted a new school lunch program a couple years ago, she noted, and the cafeterias offer nutritious meals. But if SUV offered classes for parents, it could help ensure children eat well at home as well. She’d also like to see the district pass new policies around sweets in the classroom, and Superintendent Michael Soltman recently announced the school board will take that task on. “To me it’s inappropriate to use sweets as a reward,� she said. “It just sets up a bad pattern.� For her part, Davis said she is pleased that Wishik, who approached Davis about taking the reins, has stepped forward. “It’s time for new blood to come in and take it to the next step,� she said. “It is time for me, and it is time for the organization.�

Tips for maintaining a healthy smile
Did you know?
The side of the tongue is the most common site for oral cancer. If you ever notice a white or red patch or a growth on the side of the tongue or floor of the mouth that does not resolve in two weeks, it is important to get it checked by a dentist as soon as possible. Usually, no treatment is required but occasionally the dentist will order a biopsy to diagnose the lesion. Smoking and drinking continue to be the most significant risk factors for oral cancer especially when done simultaneously. Alcohol is thought to make cells more susceptible to genetic damage from smoking which can trigger uncontrolled cell growth and subsequent oral cancer. Also, for all those Vashon gardeners, oral cancer can appear on the border of the lips due to sun exposure so it is a good idea to wear chapstick with an SPF rating.

With help, abuse victims do leave, find hope
Past group proved town plan is tough terrain
October is Domestic Violence Action Month. Domestic violence is a universal problem, and Vashon Island is not immune. What are some types of domestic violence? Physical abuse is the one that pops into everyone’s mind, and certainly the one that has been in the news of late. But there are other types of abuse that are equally as complex and traumatic: emotional abuse, sexual abuse, cyber abuse and financial abuse. Domestic violence has been in the news recently; the situation that unfolded with NFL has gone viral. Why does she stay? Why doesn’t she leave? There are many problems with these questions — least of all the pronoun that is used that indicates that all survivors are female, which is most assuredly not the case. The main problem here is that these questions put the blame right back on the survivor. Why is it his/her responsibility to leave instead of putting the onus on the abusive partner to get help and stop the abuse? But let’s talk about why people don’t leave. There can be incredible fear that the abuser will be more violent if the victim leaves. In fact, in at least 55 percent of homicides by abusers in our state, the victim had left or was trying to leave, according to the Washington State Domestic Violence Fatality Review of 2012. In many cases, women and men don’t have anywhere to go. Communities, much like our own, don’t have enough affordable housing, and shelters and transitional housing units are limited. On just one day, domestic violence programs in Washington could not meet 398 requests for housing, according to The National Census of Domestic Violence Services. Some other reasons that make it hard for survivors to leave are that they cannot afford to take care of themselves and their children without the abuser’s income and that they worry about child custody issues and the safety of their children when they’re alone with the abusive parent. Some victims are emotionally drained, financially challenged and isolated
The community council, while well-intentioned in its hope to update the Vashon Town Plan, should think carefully before taking on the task. The council should nail down how much help King County will provide and consider what it realistically will be able to accomplish by 2016. An out-ofdate town plan that was done well 20 years ago would be better than one updated with changes that were not carefully considered and fully vetted by Vashon residents. In 2008 a group of islanders took on the Gathering broad community task of updating the input in a short time , much town plan as a comless drafting changes, would mittee of Vashon’s community council. certainly be a challenge. As members attest, the job turned out to be huge. The 1996 town plan is long and complex. Over four years with limited help and funding, the group put together some updates to the plan but entirely skipped over other parts that the volunteers simply couldn’t get too. It’s not clear why the approved amendments from a couple of years ago never actually made it into Vashon Town Plan. But it appears King County dropped the ball somewhere, either by not putting Vashon’s submissions before the county council or by not communicating well with islanders about the timeline and the final outcome. Though it still seems the county owes those who worked on the town plan for so long an explanation, the community council understandably wants to move forward and try to submit something to be considered in 2016. After all, the plan is 20 years old, and islanders likely have some different ideas about what growth and development on Vashon should look like. Tim Johnson and other volunteers who have helped hold the community council together since it was stripped of its official status would likely approach the process thoughtfully and incorporate the 2012 ideas. But with few people currently attending community council meetings, little funding and online feedback methods yet to be designed, gathering broad community input in a short time —much less drafting changes — would certainly be a challenge. King County may add a new staff person to help small communities across the county update their plans, but officials have yet to say if and how much that person would work with Vashon or when the position would start. Significant county attention could put the community council’s goal within reach, and perhaps the group could choose a few important areas to focus on. But without that help and without funding to hire help, the council would be no better off than the group that took four years to come up with even limited updates to the town plan. Only this time they don’t have four years.
COMMUNITY By BETSEY ARCHAMBAULT from family and friends. In some cases, they tried to leave in the past and the abuser found them. Surviving abuse takes an incredible toll on people. It is never the survivor’s fault. They are never to blame. I cannot emphasize this point enough. I’ll say it again. It is never the survivor’s fault. They are never to blame. Beyond all of this, it is important to know that survivors do leave. Every day survivors of abuse are able to find the support and resources they need to be safe and self-sufficient. They leave. They find renewed hope and confidence. They start a new chapter. Can you tell at the beginning of a relationship if it will become abusive? No. Many abusive partners may seem perfectly fine in the early stages of a relationship, with jealous, possessive and controlling behaviors appearing over time. Abuse does not look the same in every relationship because every relationship is different. One factor that many abusive relationships have in common is that the abusive partner engages in tactics to gain more power and control over their partners. Are there warning signs and red flags? Yes. Red flags include controlling your money, deciding who you can see and when, restricting your actions, preventing you from making your own decisions, threatening to hurt you, threatening to hurt themselves if you do a certain thing, threatening pets, pressuring you to do things you are not comfortable with and pressuring you to trade sex for safety, money or groceries. There are many signs, and we can all learn them. The DoVE Project has had some considerable successes this past year. We trained community members to be personal advocates, held prevention workshops

for teens, began a men’s group for male survivors and presented at two statewide conferences (one topic was women’s health and the other was LGBTQ access). We also are proud to announce that we have a new location that is more accessible for those who would like to walk in to talk or take a look at our resources. DoVE now lives in the back of Courthouse Square. While we have increased our accessibility, confidentiality and privacy are still paramount. We have three doors and many offices that are private. Stop in to say hi. Even if you’re not worried about domestic violence for yourself, learning about prevention and how to support friends is important. Everyone has a role in preventing domestic violence. The DoVE Project is a young organization and one that is needed to support survivors of abuse. We aim to provide opportunities for education and prevention and have an upcoming Teen Dating Abuse Prevention Workshop. We as a community can prevent domestic violence. Please join us on Oct. 25 for our second annual Comedy Night fundraiser. Laughter is the best medicine. What else can you do? Sign up for a teen dating abuse workshop for parents. Encourage your tweens or teens to do the same. “Like” us on Facebook to keep abreast of what’s happening. Visit us at our new space and pick up a book on domestic violence. Learn more about what you can do as a friend, as a bystander. Join our next advocacy training. Take a stand and say “No more.” We are an island full of spirited people, hope and great feelings of community. We can create positive community change. We can and we will. — Betsey Archambault is the executive director of The DoVE Project.
DoVE’s Teen dating Abuse Prevention Workshop will be held on Saturday, Nov. 1. Watch The Beachcomber for more information.

The issue is complex and genderless, and Vashon Pool each case is unique I spent most of the last year working as the lead advocate Facility manager deserves recognition at The DoVE Project. As I leave my position, I wanted to come forward and share a bit about my experience working as a domestic violence advocate. Before I started with DoVE, I used to think of survivors as “victims” of their abusers. But they are not victims. All of the clients I have worked with are actively surviving, making choices to protect themselves and their families. I was convinced that abuse conformed to a male (abuser) and female (survivor) physical abuse dynamic. I believed that the only help a survivor needed was a way out. Oh, how wrong I was. I have come to realize that abuse is an incredibly complex, genderless issue where each case is unique. I realized the most damaging forms of abuse can be the least understood — like emotional, psychological, financial and sexual abuse — and cause people to question the experience of the survivor. Not only does this discourage them from seeking out more support, but it also undermines the reality of their experience. I have found that domestic violence is a taboo subject in our society, and it scares me that people are unwilling to talk about such a prevalent problem. Especially when getting the conversation going is the best way to prevent abusive relationships. Creating a space in our community for survivors to come forward, share their stories and receive the support they need and deserve is incredibly important. Domestic violence advocacy is difficult work. Much

Thank you so much for the excellent reporting on the pool and the support of your editorial. (“Friends group forms around vision for the pool” and “Pool group is young, but its motivation is right,” Oct. 8) There was one element we Friends of the Vashon Pool felt was left out and that is our impressions of the pool as a place to swim. First, Pool Manager Scott Bonney deserves kudos for mastering the art of maintaining superb water quality. The pool is clean, clear, has no odor and leaves no residual odor on the skin after swimming. We know Scott has invested quite a lot of time in learning the fine elements of tuning a pool’s chemistry, and it has paid off. Scott also worked out a way to provide cooler water in the mornings for the masters and swim teams and then warmer water later in the day for the children (and teachers) involved in swim lessons. We have also been impressed by Scott’s evident mastery of the pool’s numbers, including usage, costs and revenues. In our discussions over the past five weeks, he has taught us a lot, and we are truly grateful for his willingness to share his knowledge. We love swimming in the Vashon Pool, and Scott’s skills and dedication deserve lots of credit. — Mark Nassutti

SCENE & HEARD SURPRISE FIND IN TOKYO This Seattle’s Best Coffee shop called Vashon Bar & Grill was spotted recently overseas by the sister of islander Meredith Yasui. Barbara Yasui, pictured at left, discovered the island’s namesake in Tokyo, Japan, close to Shiba Park and the Zojoji temple (the main temple of the Jodo shu sect of Buddhism). Not so much a surprise is that in addition to freshly roasted coffee, the highly rated eatery serves Pacific Northwest style cuisine. The restaurant is owned and operated by Seattle’s Best Coffee, which had its start on Vashon.

Islander seeks funds to light up kids and teens on the island’s dark roads
EXPLORE the world of COLOR.
Awaken your inner makeup artist. With Mary Kay, you can glide on confidence with a luxurious lipstick or draw on a classic cat eye with eyeliner. The choice is yours!
To help island children be more visible during the dark days of winter, an islander is raising funds to purchase lights and make them available to all island children and teens who need one. Wendy Wharton, a retired registered nurse, is leading the effort, hoping to make adults and children alike more aware of just how hard it can be to spot people walking on the side of the road in the dark. “I just want to bring this out in the open,� she said. “This is a problem.� Wharton hopes to raise $1,000 for the cause, she said, and has money promised from Thrivent Financial and Puget Sound Energy. She also plans to apply for a King County grant to provide financial support for the program on a longer-term basis and is hosting a fundraising bake sale from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday outside Thriftway. “I am feeling pressure because of the growing darkness,� she said. Wharton is working with Lane MacLeod at Spider’s Ski and Sports to order quality

lights at a reasonable price and possibly reflective gear as well. The lights, MacLeod said, are red flashing LED lights that are visible up to about a mile away. They can attach to a bike or can be worn around a leg or an arm, he added, and have a couple hundred hours of run time before their batteries need to be replaced. MacLeod, like Wharton, said he sees both adults and children on the island’s dark roads without lights or reflective clothing. Wharton said she does not know yet how she will distribute the lights, but plans to work that out soon, perhaps enlisting the schools or other island organizations. Donations and offers of assistance can be sent to Wendy Wharton at 29757 128th Ave. SW, Vashon. She can also be reached at 463-4040. — Susan Riemer

TO BE OR NOT TO BE: Vashon Theatre and Island GreenTech will bring Sir Laurence
Internationally acclaimed poet, spoken word artist and storyteller Kealoha will perform at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21, at the Open Space for Arts & Community. Named the first poet laureate of Hawaii in 2012, a National Slam Legend in 2010 and one of the nation’s top 10 best poets in 2007, Kealoha has made numerous television appearances and shared the stage with Willie Nelson, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Damian “Junior Gong” Marley, Jason Mraz, Michael Franti (Spearhead), Don Carlos, Medusa and other slam poetry superstars. An artist with a wide-ranging background, Kealoha graduated with honors from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a degree in nuclear physics, served as a business consultant in San Francisco and was a surf instructor before becoming a profes-
sional poet. Kealoha was introduced to slam poetry in 2000 when he was working in San Francisco as a management consultant in nuclear physics. It changed his life, as he left the corporate world, inspired by what he felt was the perfect combination of thinking, writing and theater found in slam poetry. According to poet Cristin O’Keefe Aptowica, Kealoha is more than just a poet: He is a one-man poetry movement, who practices what he preaches about mindfulness and positivity in art. Kealoha will bring his gift of spoken and written verse to share with students at McMurray Middle School, where he will conduct two workshops on Wednesday, Oct. 22. Tickets for his show at Open Space are $10 in advance, $12 at the door and $8 for students. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Tickets are available at www.brownpapertickets.com, Vashon Bookshop and at the door.

Pirate football team falls in lopsided loss VHS soccer team sees success on the pitch
By CHERYL PRUETT For The Beachcomber
The second meeting of two Nisqually League rivals resulted in a disappointing loss for the Vashon football team last Friday. The final score against Charles Write Academy, a lopsided 58-22, highlighted poor Pirate play on both sides of the ball. Too many fumbles, missed tackles, bad blocking and poorly timed penalties all contributed to the drubbing. One bright spot was the running of senior Nate Lawson, who managed to cobble together an impressive game of more than 100 rushing yards, and had success moving the ball straight up the middle against the Tarriers. The Charles Wright defense was clearly prepared for sophomore running back Bryce Hoisington, who was met with a wall of white with every carry. Sophomore Kellan Riley had a good offensive effort with a couple receptions, including his first touchdown as a Pirate. Junior Arthur Moore was off to a good start before being sidelined with a hip injury early in the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 16-0, Charles Wright. The Pirates got things rolling with their first possession of the second quarter after Hoisington recovered a Tarrier fumble. The Pirates forced a couple of hard-count offsides penalties, bringing them within striking range of the goal line. Quarterback Chester Pruett punched through for the score, and Hoisington took the ball in for the 2-point conversion. The score was a hopeful 16-8 with 10 minutes to go in the half. The Tarriers scored three unanswered touchdowns before the Pirates got back on the board. With 17 seconds to go in the half, facing a fourth and 1 on the 11-yard line, Pruett

came with a minute to go in the third quarter, when they were finally able to punch in past the Vashon defense, which had held them strong on three attempts within the 5-yard line. With the score a daunting 58-16 to start the fourth quarter, the Pirates fired back with their final score of the evening, a huge run up the middle by Lawson. Hoisington again scored the 2-point conversion, and the score hit the 58-22 final. The Pirates play Bellevue Christian on Saturday at Lake Washington High School in Bellevue.
The Vashon Pirates girls soccer team continued to notch impressive matches this month, splitting two home games last week and boosting their season record to an impressive 6-2 while holding on to second place in the Nisqually League. Last Tuesday, Oct. 7, the Pirates held on for a thrilling 1-0 win over Cascade Christian at Vashon Stadium. The two teams played 90 minutes of exciting scoreless soccer until Mackenna McVeigh received the ball from Ana DeGuzman and drove the game-winner high into the Cascade net with only seconds left on the clock. Last Thursday, Oct. 9, the Pirates had an equally exciting 3-1 loss to Seattle Christian at Vashon Stadium. The Warriors are one of the strongest 1A teams in state, and Vashon was up for the challenge. The Pirates tied the game at 1-1 in first 5 minutes with an Emily Brown penalty kick. The Warriors managed two more goals in first half with a deft passing game. In second half, the Pirates raised their game and matched Seattle Christian for a fast-paced, highcaliber finish. Coach Karen Olsen praised the team’s effort and accomplishments, while noting that some improvements can still be made. “These past two weeks we’ve shown strength and endurance against our toughest competitors, and won two out of the three league matches.” she said. “We have a lot of talent, and if that talent is mixed with confidence, I believe that the team would be stronger and unbeatable.” The JV girls also had another strong week with a decisive 6-0 victory over The Northwest School, bringing their record to 5-2 so far this season. The varsity team will play its last home game at 4 p.m. Thursday for senior night and a huge rematch against rival Charles Wright Academy. The Pirates narrowly defeated the Tarriers in the season opener on Sept. 19 and now look to repeat and strengthen their hold on second place in the Nisqually League. If you can’t make the big home game this Thursday, you, can tune in live on KVSH 101.9 for play-by-play coverage of the match.

The opening kickoff for the second half saw Charles Wright return the ball for a touchdown. The extra point attempt was stopped, score 44-16. Vashon’s next possession saw a couple of great first down conversions with big gains by Lawson and Riley, but all wasted with a pig-pile fumble and turnover to the Tarriers. That fumble resulted in another Tarrier touchdown and a score of 50-16 with eight minutes to go in the third quarter. The last Charles Wright score of the night

Crew gathers blue ribbons at regatta By PAT CALL For The Beachcomber
The American Lake Regatta last weekend presented good rowing conditions to participants from 30 area clubs in more than 50 events. Vashon’s masters and junior crews had another strong showing with five first-place and four second-place finishes in eight events with three or more entries. Head racing is challenging for the rowers since starts are “one boat at a time� separated by approximately 20 seconds per boat, and position in the field is not easy to determine unless passing competitors or being passed. The course is a counterclockwise circuit of the lake keeping the giant orange buoys on the rowers’ right for the majority of the race. The races are also confounding for the spectators as boats are only easily visible at the finish line. Relative positions are tough to judge, and final times are delayed by about an hour, adding to the anticipation. In an era of Vashon crew racing where the remarkable has become commonplace (20 years ago one first place finish at this regatta would have been cause for celebration), the depth of the team once again showed through. First-place boats for the junior crew were the men’s varsity quad, which also had the second fastest time of
Cross country’s ‘bench’ helps team succeed By BRUCE CYRA For The Beachcomber
today.� The men’s varsity quad was rowed by Patrick Hanson, Fletcher Call, Liam McConnell and Forrest Miller. The women’s varsity four was rowed by Emily Milbrath, Virginia Miller, Maddie McEachern and Shannon Lipe. The women’s varsity double was rowed by Riley Lynch and Rhea Enzian, and the men’s varsity double by Hanson and Miller. The master women’s quad was rowed by Terese Smith, Su Dewalt, Marilyn Kleyn and Deb Jackson. The Vashon crew is sending four boats, 11 junior and eight master rowers, to the fabled Head of the Charles race in Boston this next weekend.
How can a team be down two of its top cross country runners and still win a meet? It can happen when a team has a deep bench. The Vashon High School Pirates’ deep bench came through last Tuesday, Oct. 7, when Charles Wright Academy hosted a four-way Nisqually League Meet at Fort Steilacoom Park. In the girls’ 5k high school varsity race, usual Pirate front-runner Kate Atwell was led off-course by missing markings and other runners, while Jane Oswald suffered debilitating side stitches, and both finished four minutes off of their usual paces. However, four sophomores and a junior scored low for the Pirates, leading the team to another meet victory. Aria and Selena Mildon, Jessica Merritt, Annie Muller and Taryn Mulvihill scored for the Pirates, with senior Anna Ripley displacing scoring runners from Charles Wright and Bellevue Christian, and junior Kate Atwell getting back on the course and displacing scoring runners from Bellevue Christian. In cross country, the top five from each full team count as scorers, with the sixth and seventh runners “displacing� the scoring top five from other teams. In the boys’ race, the team was again led by senior Quinn Weber, only a second off his fastest time for the course, and who was aided by Isaac Hughes, Hunter Justis, Nathan Williams and Aaron Kitchener. The Pirate boys exhibited good pack-running skills, with less than a minute separating their first four Pirate runners across the line. The McMurray Mustangs brought eight runners to the meet, where Simon Hoisington led the Mustang runners in a tight pack on the 1.5-mile course.

The master women’s quad also took home a blue ribbon. Second-place junior finishers were a second men’s varsity double, a men’s novice four, the women’s varsity eight and the women’s lightweight varsity four. Coach Richard Parr congratulated the team on a strong day at American Lake, emphasizing that each regatta is part of the year-long build up to Regionals and Nationals races in the late spring. “American Lake provided some good competition in some events but not in all,� he said. “Several of our major local competitors did not attend so we have to be content with some excellent rowing form and times

TOWN PLAN CONTINUED FROM 1
“Meanwhile, the county had an obligation to transmit a comprehensive plan update to the council for the whole county in order to meet that larger deadline.” Starbard and King County Councilmember Joe McDermott will attend Monday’s meeting of the Vashon-Maury Island Community Council (VMICC) to discuss the Vashon Town Plan and the process of updating it for consideration by the county in 2016. Should a group wish to take up the town plan again, they say the county may have resources to help. King County has proposed in its current budget the addition of a staff person at DPER who would be dedicated to helping communities across unincorporated King County update their town plans, as many including Vashon’s, are nearing 20 years old. McDermott said he expects the county council will approve the budget item. “I think we realized earlier this year that there’s a real need to review the town plan on Vashon, and we’re finding similar circumstances in other parts of unincorporated King County,” he said. “To have the staff resources to see that

through would be good.” The Vashon Town Plan, a 100-page document islanders crafted in 1996 with the help of a professional facilitator and hired consultants, lays the groundwork for building laws and zoning codes in an area that incorporates Vashon town and Center. In 2008, Vashon’s community council decided to update the plan, which is folded into the King County Comprehensive Plan, and formed a committee to take on the task. With little funding and limited help from King County, the Town Plan Committee attempted to gather islanders’ input through monthly meetings, forums and presentations at the community council. While not all the changes the committee proposed passed the community council’s vetting, nine amendments to the 1996 town plan were passed by those who voted at community council meetings in August and October of 2011. Some of the approved amendments pertained to historic preservation and water conservation, while one was meant to promote more cycling in town and another banned new billboards and electronic signs. Those involved say the proposals weren’t particularly weighty, and the committee didn’t even get to some sections of the lengthy plan, but they felt good about the recommendations. “We tried so hard to really get the pulse of the residents of Vashon,” said Natalie Sheard, a key player on the Town Plan Committee and the owner of Café Luna. Woods sent the nine amendments to King County several months after they passed, in February of 2012, emailing them to Paul Reitenbach, a senior policy analyst at DPER who had been working with the committee. She said the committee had been given an extension for its work, but she believed the amendments met the deadline to go before the council that fall. Reitenbach, who has since retired, acknowledged over the phone that the amendments had been received, she said, and he didn’t say they were late. It wasn’t until the Vashon Town Plan came back into the spotlight earlier this year that Woods realized the committee’s changes were never made. When a marijuana edibles company nearly purchased the K2 building last winter, islanders and county officials realized a zoning section of the Vashon Town Plan prevented certain uses, including marijuana business, at buildings in town. The King County Council ultimately updated the plan to allow for marijuana business in town, as well as for the distillery that had moved into a building at Center. At the same time, some islanders called for an update of the entire plan, and others, including Woods, were surprised to learn that nothing had happened with the previous update. “I was under the impression it had gone through,” said Tim Johnson, who is president of the community council and was copied on Woods’ 2012 emails to the county. “That was the last thing I knew about it until recently.”
Wednesday, October 15, 2014 • Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber
Sheard, too, had assumed the town plan had been updated until last week, when she got a call from The Beachcomber. She said she hadn’t followed up after the amendments were submitted, but believed the committee was on track and thought she would have heard if there was a problem. “To have them now say it’s late is extremely frustrating,” she said. “I hope the new committee will take our work into account.” Johnson said he, too, was disappointed the updates to the plan weren’t made, but is also looking to the future. Though VMICC meetings have been more sparsely attended since the group was defunded and stripped of its official status in 2012, Johnson says he was pleased to learn officials would work with the group on updating the town plan. “Contrary to what a lot of people thought with the demise of the (unincorporated area council) system, the county seems to want local input,” he said, noting that DPER recently assigned a staff person to help the West Hill area update its plan. Around 20 people attended a recent meeting to discuss the town plan, Johnson said, and this time he hopes they can reach even more islanders than the previous Town Plan Committee did by utilizing technology such as email and Facebook to gather input. In late 2012, the community council announced that as part of its new bylaws it would use the internet to conduct informal polls and hear comments on issues before board members voted. That effort, however, didn’t go far, as evidenced by a VMICC Facebook page that got little use and just 16 likes after it was created in early 2013. Johnson, however, said the group hasn’t done much with technology yet because it hasn’t had a substantive issue to take up. He hopes the town plan will revive interest in participating in the council. “A lot of groups that are civic-minded are finding they’re having a hard time pulling people into meetings,” he said. “This is a great trial and a test ground to see if people will engage in other formats.” Though the council is early in the process of looking at the town plan, it also needs to move quickly, as large updates to the plan can only be submitted every four years, and the next opportunity is in 2016. Johnson said he expects that the should the group chose to move forward after Monday’s meeting, it would likely start by taking a look at the 2012 proposals. “They had a lot of meetings for a long time on those,” he said. “We would start by taking the old recommendations and looking at what needs to be cleaned up to make it more current.” County officials will discuss the Vashon Town Plan at a meeting of the Vashon Maury Island Community Council at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 20, at McMurray Middle School.

RADIO CONTINUED FROM 1
by a large troupe of volunteers nothing short of momentous for the nonprofit. VoV actually formed 14 years ago in hopes of starting an FM radio station, but for years has been unable to get a spot on the radio dial. Over time, VoV has grown to include everything but an FM station. Powered by dozens of volunteers and a small budget underwritten by local businesses, Voice of Vashon has started a web radio station with music and shows by islanders, a community access television station and a robust emergency alert system. The organization, however, has held out hope that it would eventually get a place on the FM dial. And a few years ago, that vision came within reach. In 2010, after activists lobbied in favor of small-town radio stations, Congress passed the Community Radio Act. The new law opened the door for smaller radio stations across the country by allowing for low-power FM stations with limited broadcast ranges to be closer on the dial to larger FM stations. VoV filed an application for a station in October of last year and was granted a permit by the
Page 19
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in February. “We’ve only been imagining it since 2000,” said Jeff Hoyt, one of the founding members of VoV. “A bunch of us, myself included, felt like this may never happen.” On Monday, Hoyt and several of VoV’s other founders were at Snapdragon as KVSH went live for the first time, holding the first day of broadcast at the restaurant to encourage islanders to stop by. New KVSH radio hosts, including Hoyt, chattered away between songs by RedPerl, Sarah Christine and Troll’s Cottage, introducing shows that will be on the air this week and thanking volunteers who worked to see the FM station happen. “These people have kept this thing going,” said Susan McCabe, VoV’s paid station manager. “They put their money into it. They put their time into it. They put their hearts into it, and put imagination into it.” Current VoV volunteers have also put imagination into it as they worked this past year to craft KVSH’s lineup. VoV has been recruiting anyone with an interest in radio and training them, along with the web station volunteers, on how to broadcast live from the VoV studio at Sunrise Ridge and how to record and edit shows to be played later. KVSH’s flagship show is the Morning Scramble, a revival of a morning talk show that years ago broadcast from a one-watt antenna in town. This time, the Morning

Scramble will have two live hosts each weekday who will fill their 8 to 11 a.m. timeslots with music, discussion, interviews and calls from listeners. Programming for the rest of the day will run the gamut, with shows based largely on the interests of those who have stepped forward to create them. Musicians John Dally and Kat Eggleston, for instance, will host a Celtic music show. Local funnymen Chris Austin and Brian Brown will seek to entertain during their humor shows. And Bill Wood will take his long-running “Jazz Guy” show to the airwaves. Twice a month, news and issues pertaining to Vashon will be discussed live during “Island Crossroads,” a program hosted by Seattle Times reporter Eric Pryne and produced by Josh Weil. March Twisdale will interview authors during her show, and there will even be two children’s shows. “It’s very eclectic,” McCabe said. “Our goal is to reflect the culture of the island and elaborate on it and amplify it.” During times that no programs are scheduled, VoV is prepared with an eclectic mix of music related to Vashon. The lineup will include songs by local musicians, artists that frequently play on Vashon and artists with connections to Vashon, such as family on the island. Some connections are more tenuous than others, such as the band whose guitar player once drove UPS on Vashon. And listeners will hear some big names mixed in, including Macklemore and K.D. Lang, who have both played shows on Vashon. Hoyt said the music will have a largely rock, alternative rock and singer-songwriter bent. “There are all kinds of weird connections we are trying to play with … and see what happens when we mix it all together,” he said. KVSH will be broadcast using new equipment the group purchased after a successful fundraiser earlier this year. Through personal appeals, a collection during the Strawberry Festival and a Kickstarter campaign, VoV raised $50,000, enough to outfit its existing studio, purchase new computers and other needed equipment and install its new low-power FM radio antenna and transmitter atop the 135foot Water District 19 tower just outside of town. “It’s been a push,” McCabe said. “I learned more about technology than I ever wanted to know.” Recent testing has shown that the station’s signal will cover most of the island, though there will be poor reception at many waterfront neighborhoods and at the two ferry docks — low-elevation places that fall out of the antenna’s range. Some spots that are inland but also lowelevation and blocked by hills could also see a weak signal. To make up for coverage that’s spotty in areas, VoV has also created an app for smartphones and tablets that will allow users to play KVSH live anywhere, as well as play previously recorded shows on-demand. VoV will also use the new app as a way to collect feedback, something organizers call vital to KVSH’s success. VoV also plans to survey the 2,000 people on its email list and may do a mail-in survey as well. Organizers emphasized that with dozens of volunteers who are new to radio or new to live broadcasting, and more expected to come on, listeners should expect some bumps. But the station also wants to know what people like and don’t like, and what would make them tune in to KVSH. “This is the only place people are going to get Vashon Island information from their neighbors about their home,” McCabe said. “We hope it will be a forum for community issues and opinions, and certainly a showcase for the arts that are happening here.”

important. Hoss never located any live avalanche victims, but participated in
a number of searches. “The dogs are ready to go out and do what they’re trained to do,” Ward said. “There’s always that possibility, even if it’s small.” After about a decade of searching for people in the

snow, being lowered from helicopters and “reading” the air for clues with his nose, Hoss retired at the beginning of last winter. “We really wanted his golden years to be golden,” Ward said. “It’s a hard job.” On Monday of last week, however, retirement took a rough turn for Hoss when he didn’t come home after heading out on his own. Citing the fact that Hoss never missed a meal, Ward knew something was wrong. By the third day, after Ward and friends had searched to no avail, VIPP came out in full force with volunteers to help find him. “I knew from the things Kevin told me about Hoss, how this was completely out of character for him and just from how worried he was, that we needed to get on this,” said Amy Carey, a VIPP volunteer who helps with lost and found dogs. The fact that there were
slopes on the property was also a red flag, Carey said, as it is not uncommon for dogs to get stuck on the steep inclines. “We had people out there the next day, and probably about a dozen or so volunteers over the course of the week,” Carey said. “This is such a remarkable community of people willing to help and give their time.” But as days wore on with no sign of Hoss, Ward said it was getting harder for him, his wife and his young children to stay positive. “I started to hate my house and my property, I felt like we were failing him,” he said. But Sunday, almost seven days since Hoss had disappeared, at the suggestion of his wife, Ward searched an area of their property that hadn’t been searched since the first day. It was there, on a steep slope dense with trees and

salal, that Ward caught a glimpse of a golden paw. Hoss was stuck in very soft dirt on the incline, unable to pull himself out. Ward immediately called his wife and Carey, who called Vashon Island Fire & Rescue, where officials in the past have been able to rescue dogs from rough terrain. “We get these calls a couple of times a year,” said Assistant Chief Bob Larsen, who assisted with Hoss’ rescue. “We’ve pulled dogs out of culverts, off of steep hillsides and even two dogs from a well.” Hoss, who was so weak he couldn’t lift his head to drink, was placed in a sling and pulled to safety and into the arms of his family. He was treated at Fair Isle Animal Clinic for severe dehydration, and a veterinarian there concerned about Hoss’ condition suggested that the Wards take

Dana was 59 years old when he died peacefully at home with his sister Holly Divis. Dana was born in Chicago Illinois to Mary Catherine (Cooper) Hulet and Dennis Jay Hulet. He grew up, went to school, married and had two children in Chicago, before moving his family to Vashon in 1984. Upon moving to Vashon Dana started his own business, was a volunteer firefighter, dispatcher/supervisor and instructor for the Vashon Fire department until 1995. Dana enjoyed modeling wooden ships, military miniatures, model railroading and collecting history books and memorabilia. Dana is survived by his two adult children Heather Hulet and Jason Hulet and four grandchildren. Dana has three surviving sisters, Holly Divis of Vashon, WA. Leslie Stahl of Kingman, AZ. and Heidi Rigik of Oak Lawn, IL., one niece and two nephews. A celebration of life will be on Sunday October 19, 2014 at 3pm at the Vashon Eagles. Memorial donations in Dana’s name can be sent to Vashon Senior Center, PO Box 848, Vashon, WA. 98070. Please visit our online guest book at www.islandfuneral.com
Patricia Atwood Longhi died October 8, 2014. She was 93. She was a curious, gentle, intelligent, often stubborn woman with a dry sense of humor. After graduating from Sarah Lawrence College she became a Red Cross Lady stationed in Italy during WWII. Her job was to pass out doughnuts to the troops. She often recalled that she ate more than she distributed due to her shyness. While there she met an infantry man, Francis L. Longhi, who later became her husband. In 1955 she left her affluent New York city lifestyle, looking for a place more remote and quiet. After hearing author Betty McDonald during a radio interview, the whole family, including a dog and canary, drove to Vashon Island. She finally left in 2011, only due to declining health. During her years on Vashon she became a product of her times. She protested the Vietnam war and marched for civil rights; explored Eastern religions and practiced Transcendental Meditation; became a health food advocate, supported the arts, adopted countless Pet Protector cats, and was an active member of the Democratic Club and the Vashon Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. She loved the Peanuts comic strip, reading about the universe, her Samoyed dogs, African animals, her bird feeder, the daily newspaper and her second home on the Washington coast. She considered raising her twin children as her most important role. She is survived by her daughters Gail Longhi of Seattle, and Kay Longhi of Vashon; grandson Jeremy Sullivan (and former daughter-law Katie Sullivan) of Seattle, and granddaughter Catherine Sullivan (and husband Justin Green) of Vashon. Patricia also had four great-grandchildren. Her husband preceded her in death in 1978. The family wishes to thank Dr. Michael Kappelman for his years of patient, caring treatment of a woman with a mind of her own, her friend and neighbor Kevin Moxin, and her wonderful former caregiver, Ava Apple. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Vashon Pet Protectors. A memorial service is planned for November 1st at Lewis Hall (behind the Burton Baptist Church) at 4:00pm.
him to Summit Veterinary Referral Center in Tacoma, which offers 24-hour care. But Summit clinic is very expensive and the Wards were not in a financial position to send him there. Cindy Koch, an islander and staunch VIPP supporter, said that she received a phone call from Fair Isle, where a staff member she knew explained the situation and asked if she could help. “I said ‘Of course I can,’” Koch explained with a laugh. “I called Summit and gave them my credit card.” Hoss was moved to Summit, but in another twist to his story, was discovered at the clinic to have a large tumor on one of his kidneys. Given Hoss’ age and an estimated surgery cost of about $5,000, the Wards felt it was perhaps time to say goodbye to the golden retriever. Koch, however, called VIPP to discuss the possibility of sharing the costs of both the current treatment as well as the surgery to remove the tumor. VIPP agreed to help, with an amount well above their standard $100 limit. “These were extraordinary circumstances,” noted Geoff Fletcher, president of VIPP. VIPP is now accepting donations for Hoss’ medical bill through what it calls its Angel Fund. After determining that Hoss had no other tumors, the staff at Summit told the Wards that removing the one kidney would likely allow Hoss to enjoy his retirement longer. They also offered to cap the surgery at $4,000. With Koch’s enthusiastic blessing and approval of the charges, the Wards decided Hoss would have the surgery. “I couldn’t not do it,” Koch said of her donation. “I love these animals. He has worked for years and done his job. Not to do this would be unthinkable.” For its part, VIPP is considering the idea of maintaining the Angel Fund even after Hoss’ expenses are taken care of. “It’s an idea. We’d like to be able to continue to help others with extraordinary circumstances in the future,” Fletcher said. “But at the moment, it’s just something we’re talking about.” With Hoss now home and recuperating, Ward says he can’t adequately express his gratitude and appreciation for all those that helped bring him home. “VIPP and Cindy, Amy, everyone who came out to help, our neighbors and friends ... they are really the heroes here.”

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption Foxy earned her name from her being able to outfox her owner in getting her to VIPP to be relinquished. She ended up being left behind after the owner moved and VIPP used a Havahart trap to get her. She settled down and settled in once she got to her foster home. Foxy is a little sprite of a cat who loves to be petted. Foxy came to VIPP on 7/22/14.
Gracie has lived with her person who adopted her three years ago. Gracie is an indoor cat who loves to be petted and brushed. She has lived with another cat and dog in her first home but in her more recent home she has lived in a home as the only cat. Sadly, her person is ill and not able to care for her right now. Gracie is looking for a new home. She would be great for quiet home without small children. Gracie came to VIPP on 9/21/14.
Dear VIPP, My VIPP story starts with a phone call requesting a humane trap in order to find a lost cat new to my household. I remember clearly asking Barbara Drinkwater, the founder of VIPP, if I might be able to rent one from VIPP. What I heard in response to my query was‌no, but you may borrow one. A very simple answer that represents the core value and mission of VIPP‌to be of service to the community. Thank you VIPP and thank you Barbara for creating such a kind and caring organization. Sincerely,
Victoria Rohlfs
