Park district looks for public feedback on raising fees District hopes to build a reserve By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer

The Pirates’ small numbers were especially apparent at the Homecoming game, when they faced a large Cascade Christian team.
VHS football struggles with low turnout Many point to lack of a youth program, concussion concerns By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
No amount of cheering from the crowd could help the Pirates at their Homecoming game last month. A paltry 16 players suited up to face a 40-man force from Cascade Christian High School. Some Vashon players
would later describe going onto the field as scary. By halftime, they were down 49-0. Such has been the season for Vashon High School’s football team. With 20 players on the roster, the Pirates have frequently faced teams with nearly twice their numbers and have been hard pressed to pull off a win, even against squads less talented than Cascade Christian, which is expected to win State this year. The state of the football program — which has been small and nearly
winless for a few years now — has led some parents to raise concerns about safety. Others are brainstorming how to renew interest in football on Vashon. “They don’t realize we could be a good team if we got more dedication from everyone,” said Luke Larson, a freshman, during a weekly football dinner last week.

The Vashon Park District will take on the issue of user fees tonight at a special meeting, where one commissioner will lead a conversation about raising fees to help the district, which has struggled financially, build its reserves. Many of those involved with groups that use the facilities in question said they’ll attend the meeting with an open mind, but also expressed concern, as any significant fee increase would be tough on their budgets and likely force them to raise their own participation fees. “The average parent on the island should be concerned,” said Cheryl Pruett, vice president of Vashon Youth Baseball and Softball. “I don’t know any sport financially healthy enough to eat that expense.” The meeting will be led by commissioner Scott
Newsman tells of heady days working in media Former Time magazine editor is next in VCC’s speaker series By SARAH LOW Staff Writer
With nearly four decades of working in the print media, broadcast and entertainment industries under his belt, islander Brian Brown has a treasure trove of entertaining stories to share. This Sunday, Brown, 79, will offer some of the most memorable ones from his 30 years of work-
ing for Time magazine in New York as the next talk in Vashon Community Care’s (VCC) Telling Stories speaker series. “I didn’t know him myself, but when I met him, I was blown away by his stories,” said Linda Milovsoroff, executive director of the VCC Foundation. “We are thrilled to present him as our next speaker.” The Telling Stories series evolved as a fundraising endeavor after the foundation invited Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and former islander Berkeley Breathed to speak on Vashon in 2010. Many people wanted to learn more about fellow islanders, and particularly seniors, who
Milovsoroff said have some great stories about their lives. Brown, who moved to Vashon in 2007 with his wife to be closer to family in Seattle, was born in the Bronx and raised in Scarsdale, New York. An engaging gentleman with an infectious humor and energy, he has a graduate degree in American Literature from New York University and has worn many different hats over the course of his career, from teaching literature to engineering students at Purdue University and literacy SEE BROWN, 17

Harvey, who will present information on the rationale for a fee increase, he said, including what he sees as the need for the district to develop a financial reserve and that the fees be set in proportion to related park district expenses, which he will determine before the meeting. “I will come to the meeting with an analysis to support what I think needs to be done,” he said at the most recent park board meeting. All five park commissioners plan to attend and will consider the public’s feedback in the coming weeks as they craft next year’s budget, Harvey said. While many park districts charge fees for certain uses of their facilities, Vashon has a mixed history regarding its fees. After a period of not charging most users, it instituted its current fee schedule in early 2013. Those fees cover a variety of facilities, including the district’s athletic fields, equestrian facilities at Paradise Ridge Park and the SEE FEES, 19

Man rescued after jumping from ferry A man jumped off a Vashon ferry last week and was rescued from the water by ferry workers. The incident occurred at around 1:45 p.m. on Friday on the Issaquah ferry as it was traveling between Fauntleroy and Vashon. The man, who is not a Vashon resident, jumped off the end of the ferry as it was in motion and was nearing the Vashon ferry dock, according to George Brown, assistant chief of Vashon Island Fire & Rescue. “He jumped of his own accord,” Brown said. Once ferry workers realized that some-
one had gone overboard, the ferry backed up, a rescue boat was launched, and the man was pulled out of the water. “Ferry workers did their job very well and did a rescue,” Brown said. Emergency responders were called to the Vashon ferry dock to examine the man. He had no serious injuries or signs of hypothermia, Brown said, but was transported to an off-island hospital for evaluation. According to a Washington State Ferries alert, the incident delayed the Issaquah for a couple of hours. — Natalie Martin

Islander Sylvia Sussman celebrated her 100th birthday Oct. 20 with a party at Vashon Community Care (VCC). Sussman is the first in her family to reach the century mark, and she expresses surprise that she has become a centenarian herself. “I look in the mirror in the morning, and I think, ‘Who in the hell is that? And when did all that happen?’” she said recently. Sussman, who was born in 1914 in Bronx, New York, recalled herself as a “lackadaisical student,” but she went on to be accepted to the Sorbonne in Paris, an honor she had to turn down for lack of money. Instead, at 17 and with the Depression in full force, she went to work as a clerk at Macy’s then on to Stern Brothers, where she served as a ready-to-wear buyer. At 24, she married Harry Sussman, whom she had met while she was in high school, and they had three children. “That’s what I really wanted,” she said,
expressing no regret at forgoing an education at the Sorbonne and raising a family. While the children were young, she worked at the family’s hardware store and later brought her professional life full circle by returning to Macy’s, where she ran the gourmet foods section in one of the stores. She and Harry left New York and retired to Florida in 1986. Several years ago she began spending several weeks at a time on Vashon, before moving to the island three years ago and into VCC last January. One of the most joyful parts of living on the island, Sussman said, is spending time with a group of her daughters’ friends, who adopted her as a mother of sorts, though she warned them she would not be cooking or cleaning. “I told them I would bring the wine,” she said with a wink. “I do. A bottle of red and a bottle of white.” — Susan Riemer

Wendell Berry family to visit for fundraiser The family of Wendell Berry, a famous author and advocate of sustainable agriculture, will visit Vashon for a fundraising dinner tomorrow evening. Wendell and his wife Tanya Berry visited Vashon 10 years ago, and on Thursday, Tanya will return with her daughter Mary to meet local farmers and food advocates. In addition to reconnecting with friends on the island, Tanya and Mary will introduce and raise funds for The Berry Center, which their family recently established to encourage the growth of agrarian communities across the country. Mark Musik, who is helping organize the event, said he believes the evening will appeal to many islanders who are interested in local food and agriculture. Wendell was the catalyst for the Tilth movement in the Pacific Northwest, he noted, and the Vashon Island Growers Association (VIGA) is a chapter of Washington Tilth. “Wendell Berry was the inspiration for the Tilth

Mary Berry will speak at Tilth’s 40th Anniversary Conference before coming to Vashon with her mother. movement, organic farming and the local economy movement for decades,” he said. While Wendell, now 80, doesn’t travel as much and has a prior engagement in his home state of Kentucky, Mary was invited to be one of the keynote speakers at Tilth’s 40th Anniversary Conference this weekend in Vancouver, Washington. She and her mother agreed to make a stop on Vashon as well. Musik said Mary and Tanya will inform islanders about the work of The Berry
Center and in particular their new agrarian studies program at St. Catherine College in Kentucky. Their goal is to strengthen bonds between farmers and food advocates in their region and the Pacific Northwest. “They’re looking forward to building bridges between the Northwest and their work in Kentucky,” he said. The dinner, which will be at an island home, will feature Karen Biondo’s wood-fired pizza with toppings and salad from her garden. The dinner will be a fundraiser for The Berry Center, and a minimum $25 donation per person will be requested. In addition, select books and poems autographed by Wendell Berry will be available in a silent auction. The event will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the home of Katy Jo Steward and Steve Paschall, at 16335 Crescent Dr. SW. For more information, contact Merrilee Runyan at 4636647.

Skateboarders gather to mark a momentous day, the beginning of skate bowl construction.
Construction of skate bowl begins Skate board enthusiasts celebrated the beginning of construction of a skate bowl at the Burton Adventure Recreation Center (BARC) on Monday. Representatives from Grindline Skateparks, a respected West Seattle company, were at the park on Monday, marking the bowl’s location and getting the heavy machinery in place to break ground on Tuesday. The project should take just six to eight weeks to complete, according to Vashon Park District Executive Director Elaine Ott. The short construction time is a sharp
contrast to the planning of the project, which was first conceived about a decade ago, and has been beset with delays since then. After Monday’s party, which featured pizza, cupcakes and attempts at breaking the hard ground with a shovel, BARC Stewardship Council board member Jenni Wilke noted the skaters’ enthusiasm. “Everybody is excited, and everybody kept saying, ‘It’s really happening! It’s really happening!’” she said. — Susan Riemer

Put aside issues of war to consider those As holiday shopping starts, who served, as well as their families VETERANS DAY remember our local shops EDITORIAL
November is here, and with it the beginning of the holiday season. Jack-o-lanterns may be moldering on our porches, but this is the month that shopping begins, and many of us are already thinking about what we might give. While the focus of the season should never be on presents, now is a good time for the shoppers among us to start thinking about shopping locally. Yes, shopping locally — that same tired campaign the chamber of commerce preaches each year. But Don’t forget to patronize the chamber and The those places when you’re Beachcomber know as well not in a hurry, too, to assure as anyone the struggles of our small local businesses. they’re still around when We also know just how you need them. vital these businesses are to the island. Local business keeps our town core thriving, making Vashon a vibrant place for residents and visitors. Perhaps more importantly, they provide much-needed jobs, allowing more people to live and work on the island. Money spent at these businesses stays on Vashon, helping our local economy. And many business owners donate to local causes, host fundraisers and hire young people. On an island that can feel isolated from Seattle, it’s also a comfort to know we have some amount of access to the goods we want from a variety of businesses on Vashon. It’s easy to run into these establishments for a desperately needed item — a tube from the bike shop, a jacket from Northwest Sports or a present from a gift shop. But don’t forget to patronize those places when you’re not in a hurry, too, to assure they’re still around when you need them. Vashon businesses have long struggled to stay afloat — some go for years without turning a profit. They not only compete with malls and big-box stores, but now face the ever-growing competition of the internet. Online retail sales are expected to grow from $231 billion in 2012 to $370 billion in 2017, according to CMO.com, a digital marketing news site. And it’s not just a trend among young people. Two-thirds of Americans 50 and over now shop online, and those 50-plus spend twice as much money online as younger adults. Island business owners have reported they often just can’t compete with online prices. But spending online will do nothing to benefit the place we live. Later this month, The Beachcomber will publish a holiday gift guide, which is full of ideas for celebrating the season, including a plethora of ways to shop locally on any budget. The chamber has already begun this season’s shop local campaign, asking shoppers to get passports stamps. Giving locally sold or even locally made items this year gives twofold — to the receiver, and back to the community that in many ways depends on a strong local economy.
I am a Vietnam veteran, and like millions of other veterans, I will observe Veterans Day next Tuesday. This national holiday pays tribute to all American veterans, but especially to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or during peacetime. Vashon will offer some special programs and activities for veterans and their families. I encourage you to attend an event or plan one of your own. Vashon has a long tradition of military service, which is commemorated each year by American Legion Post 159 in its Memorial Day service at the Vashon Cemetery. Walk around the cemetery on that day and you will see some 500 flags at the gravesites of Vashon veterans who served from the Civil War to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. I am a Vietnam veteran. I say this again because just a few years ago I would not have acknowledged this fact. My generation’s dance with death was the main event at the epicenter of the turbulent 1960s, an era that changed America forever. The Vietnam War was our elephant in the room. Those of us who went to Vietnam and survived returned home as outcasts. We were called baby killers and faced hostility or indifference. There were no parades, no welcome home and no respect. This was devastating for the young men and women who did their best in a terrible situation. Four decades later, Vietnam War veterans are now treated with more respect, are accepted by veterans of earlier wars and have been mostly well cared for by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). But while we are honoring our veterans, we must also acknowledge and honor their families. Every service member who goes to war leaves family and friends behind on the “home front.” My own husband has been an immense support to me. Even though we didn’t meet until seven years after my return from Vietnam, Paul has been my co-veteran every step of the way for the past 40 years as I have fought post-traumatic stress disorder and the Parkinson’s

disease I developed from exposure to Agent Orange. Paul helps me clean the graves of the Vashon sons lost in the Vietnam War. He accompanied me to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. He drove me 1,000 miles to meet with the grieving families of my friends killed in Vietnam. And he has put his 30 years of experience as a social worker to good use by helping veterans apply for VA benefits and health care. He does all this and much more without complaint. While families support veterans all over the country, more than 58,000 men and women did not survive the Vietnam War and left behind devastated loved ones. There are the two widows I have come to know in recent years whose husbands died in Vietnam. The two young husbands (I was with one when he died) were the same age, were killed in the same year and month and never saw their newborn children. Then there is the kid brother of one of my friends killed in action who has never stopped watching for his big brother to come walking up the lane, and the schoolmates and friends of the 12 Vashon sons lost in the Vietnam war who will never stop grieving for them. Now we have a new generation of war veterans. As they return home, they have been treated with more respect and compassion than was my generation. “Hate the war, love the warrior” may be a cliché, but in practice it has made all the difference to the men and women who have given so much and been asked to give more. Thousands have also died, including two fine young men from Vashon who are survived by grieving parents, friends and community. Many more have survived mul-

tiple tours, like my friend Charles. Charlie is an Army sergeant and veteran of combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. During his service, his wife Vanessa cared for their children, kept track of every aspect of the household and did all this while under the crushing stress of wondering if she would ever see Charlie again. So, this Veterans Day, as we go about the business of living our complicated lives, why not reach out to the family of an active duty service member or veteran who you know not just to thank them, but to ask how you might help. When it comes to war, there are no good wars, no real winners and no genuine victories. When we go to war, we have already lost, and what is lost is gone forever. George Washington once said, “My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth.” Perhaps someday we can make his wish come true. But for now, let us put aside the controversy surrounding our involvement in unwinnable wars in the Middle East and focus on those who have been thrown into doing the dirty work. Let us embrace them as our neighbors and fellow Americans and lend a helping hand, have a kind word to say to them and treat them with the respect that they have earned and deserve. — Christopher Gaynor is a veteran of the Vietnam War and a member of the American Legion Post 159 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2826.
Veterans Day events Veterans Day Assembly for veterans and their families from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. Monday, Nov. 10, in the Chautauqua gym.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR School violence
Having officers at lunch may help prevent incidents As I heard the news of the school shooting at Marysville, I found myself thinking, once again, how we can keep our community safe from this type of disaster. Clearly this is a multi-faceted problem of our generation, and I applaud any and all efforts to address the problem at its roots. That said, I think there will always be some youth who feel the need to act out violently at school, who fall through the cracks before anyone notices their building anger. One common thread that jumps out repeatedly in these stories is the amount of thought and preparation that the shooters seem to put into place before they turn to action. Another pattern I’ve noticed is the tendency to choose a public part of the school — often the lunch
room. One suggestion I think deserves consideration is to promote some good oldfashioned community policing at the high school and middle school campuses. Community policing typically encourages police officers to dine where their citizens do. I can’t think of a better place for our deputies to be having lunch than at the high school and middle school. If they did, it seems it would give any potential shooter pause if he or she thought they might have to deal with an armed police officer eating lunch at the table next to their target. In the best-case scenario, we would find all our despondent youth, get them the help they need, and our students all get to know our deputies by their first names. Seems like a win-win to me. I believe strongly enough in this idea that I’ll sponsor any meals for officers during the month of November. — Jar Lyons

VIBES says thanks The Vashon Island Band Education Supporters (VIBES) would like to thank all those who made our firewood raffle and bake sale a HUGE success! Thank you to all the band students and parents who volunteered time, those who donated baked items and a special thank you to Toni Jean and Chick Green, who donated firewood for the auction. Toni Jean came to the VIBES meeting and jumped in immediately to plan and coordinate this great fundraiser. We also want to thank those who donated for their generosity. The money collected will support the music programs at McMurray Middle School and Vashon High School. VIBES is a 501c3, non-profit organization whose goal is to support music education of band students at McMurray Middle School and Vashon High School. There are many financial needs which are not covered through the school district such as honor band fees, master class instruction, scholarships and some instrument repair costs. VIBES can help cover these needs through donations and fundraisers. Music education is an important part of a child’s learning and research shows it positively impacts all other areas of studies. If you would like to help support VIBES, please contact VIBES President Sarah Stuart at stuartsarah@comcast. net. Sarah Stuart, VIBES President,
Many thanks to VIFR, friends and neighbors Our sincere thanks to the paramedics and firefighters who saved the lives of our daughter and grandson a few weeks ago. Thanks to the quick actions of our VIFR crew, who recognized exactly what was happening, Amy was rushed to University of Washington Medical Center where she delivered her son by C-section after suffering a life-threatening seizure. Little Austin is still in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit but is making remarkable progress and should be home by Christmas. Without the skill and knowledge of our emergency service personnel, this would have been a different and very sad story. I simply cannot tell you how blessed we are to have these people working for us 24/7 and also how blessed we are to have had so many of our fellow islanders praying for Amy and Austin on that terrifying day, people who have continued to pray for us over the past few weeks. Thank you a million times over for your help and words of support, all of you together saved our baby and her baby. Here is a virtual hug as you read this, and everyone should thank our VIFR crew when they see them around town. These people certainly deserve your hugs and handshakes. Sincerely, Mike Sr, Karen, and Mike Jr. Pruett

Q:
My wife wants to turn our workshop into a rental. It already has power and water. We got several estimates and it looks like it will take about $40,000 to $50,000 to turn it into a nice little cottage. I figure it will take five or six years to get that money back. That doesn’t sound so good to me. I’m thinking we’d get about $900 per month for it. What do you think?
A:
Your idea about return on investment is one way of looking at it. Many people look at the “pay back” of improvements. But we are talking about a long term investment here. What would you make if you put that $50,000 into a savings account? How about bonds? You’d be lucky to get a thousand a year on that amount of investment. Some mutual funds deliver higher rates of return but they can also drop fast and hard. With the rental you will get a return of 20% on that investment every year, even accounting for insurance and expenses. That’s not bad! Thinking of it in terms of getting back the money you spend on it seems backward to me. I’ve worked with many investors buying rental property here and all of them are getting a higher rate of return on their money than they would have in more traditional forms of investment. That goes for those who “flip” the house too. To me the best part of buying real estate as a choice for investing is that it is “real.” You can live there, rent it, borrow on it, or sell it. In a solid market like Vashon Island you will also see a good profit after you’ve held on to it for awhile. Buyers pay more for a home with a mother-in-law unit or guest cottage. Don’t get too fancy with what you do to the place or you’ll end up spending more than necessary. Besides, you should look on the bright side. If you get too old and infirm to care for yourself you have built in caregiver housing!

Do You Have Your Vashon Passport?
Kelly Keenan Photos
A Seattle couple spotted a rare visitor at Point Robinson on Oct. 18. The northern wheatear bird, pictured above, migrates over a large part of the Northern Hemisphere from Africa in the spring to its primary breeding grounds in Europe and Asia, and as far west as Alaska and northern Canada. It is unusual for them to come as far south as Washington — the small bird has only been seen in the state three times before. Local bird expert and author Ed Swan said that he’s only ever seen the northern wheatear in Kenya, where it spends its winters. According to Swan, the tiny vagrant was “cooperative and photogenic� for several bird watchers and offered the opportunity to view two other special birds — a peregrine falcon and a merlin — who were in the area at the time as well.

Gallery artwork will include a 5”x 5” wood panel by Lin Holley at VALISE Gallery (left), tribal carvings by Odin Lonning at Hastings-Cone Gallery (middle) and photography by Emma Rose DeSantis at Two Wall Gallery (right).
Cruise into a world of art at First Friday openings Most art spots are open from 6 to 9 p.m. The Vashon Sheepdog Classic drew more than just dogs and handlers to the annual event last August. A raft of photographers — Kim Farrell, Clara Kappelman, Julian White-Davis and others — also gathered to capture the trials. Their photographs will be on display at Café Luna. Tlingit artist Odin Lonning’s award-winning work will be on display at Hastings-Cone Gallery. In honor of Native American Heritage Month, Lonning’s “Sweetgrass & Cedar” show will feature multi-tribal traditional and contemporary pieces. Lonning will be present at the gallery cruise reception. He will also give a talk about the inspiration for his work — Tlingit art, culture and traditional knowledge — at 6 p.m. Saturday in the gallery. Heron’s Nest will show watercolors and monotype prints by Ilse Reimnitz and oil paintings by Harmut Reimnitz. Raven’s Nest celebrates Native American Heritage
Month by featuring the hoop drum. Drums are arguably the most important Native American instrument, with each tribe constructing unique drums for particular purposes. In the Pacific Northwest, the drum is used for healing and celebration. Hand-painted and unpainted hoop drums plus a collection of miniature drum ornaments will be on display and for sale. Featured artists include Israel Shotridge (Tlingit), Mike Dangeli (Nisga)David Boxley (Tsimshian) and others.

The baked potato bar will be open from 5 to 7 p.m.
Vashon Theatre hosts fashion show and screens new documentary Vashon women show off exuberant style in live fashion show The Vashon Film Society and the Vashonistas, a collective of island clothing designers, will celebrate ageless style with a live fashion parade before a screening of the new documentary “Advanced Style” at 9:30 p.m. Friday at the Vashon Theatre. “Advanced Style” first appeared as an online photo blog when New York based photographer Ari Seth Cohen began capturing images of spirited, eclectically dressed women who were well over the age of 60. His wildly popular blog led to a book, then a coloring book and finally the eponymous 2014 documentary film from Cohen and director Lina Plioplyte. The film portrays the lives of seven women between the ages of 62 and 95 who boldly defy senior citizen stereotypes through joyful fashion choices and personal philosophies. One fashionista profiled in the film proclaims, “I am dressed
up for the theater of my life every day.” When island hat and headpiece designer Azula Christie Phillips heard about the film, she thought the Vashonistas should host the film on Vashon. After approaching the Vashon Theatre, Phillips and designers Sally Shivers, Patricia Toovey and Dorothy Dunnicliff hatched a plan to collaborate with the Vashon Film Society to run a fashion parade on the theater stage before the film begins. The Vashonistas, who have showcased apparel and accessories in island fashion shows since 2007, plan to honor the creativity and “advanced style” of Vashon’s women during the pre-film festivities. The fashion parade will begin at 9:30 p.m., followed by the screening of “Advanced Style” (71 minutes). All attendees are encouraged to join the fun by dressing in outfits that express their own personality and style. The Vashon Film Society presents special feature and documentary shows on First Friday Gallery Cruise nights following the art walk. Tickets are $7 at the door.

Vashon Events will present its third annual showcase of local musicians this weekend. The theme — “Hits of the 60s Showcase” — will feature music from the 1960s beginning at 8 p.m. Friday at the Red Bike. Islanders are invited back in time to the freewheeling decade of the 1960s for a nostalgic tour of music from that era. “These songs are extremely nostalgic for most people,” said Pete Welch of Vashon Events. “And when our favorite local musicians bring them back to life, it can be very emotional.”

More than 30 Vashon musicians will perform at the Bike, playing the tunes close to the originals or interpreting them in a unique style. “Musicians either play the tune as close to the original as possible, or interpret the song in their own unique style. Either way, it’s one of those concerts where audiences stop talking and lean into the music, anticipating the next note,” Welch said. “For musicians, it can be very fulfilling when an audience listens to the music in this way.” The $8 cover supports Vashon Events.

Cross country runners head to State Soccer advances in playoffs By HANS VAN DUSEN
By BRUCE CYRA For The Beachcomber
For The Beachcomber
The look of district champions was no Halloween disguise as the girls’ Vashon High School cross country team ran to win the West Central District III Championship last Saturday at American Lake in Lakewood. Competing against rivals Seattle Christian, Bellevue Christian and Klahowya to advance to the state championship, the Pirates left them all in the (muddy) dust with a low score of 46. After 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) of racing, Vashon sophomore Selena Mildon beat a Port Townsend runner to the line by .02 seconds to set the stage for all five scoring Pirates to finish in a tight pack, within 43 seconds of each other, with five scoring Pirate runners in the top 12. Following Selena across the line for the Pirates were Aria Mildon, Jessica Merritt, Jane Oswald, Kate Atwell, Annie Muller and Anna Ripley. Three girls set personal bests for the season, with Merritt, Muller and Ripley besting their 5k times. The final score was Vashon 46, Seattle Christian 76, Bellevue Christian 77, Klahowya 79, Port Townsend 100 and Charles Wright 118. Sophomore Muller displaced scoring runners from both Seattle Christian and Bellevue Christian, with senior Ripley displacing two scoring runners from Bellevue Christian to increase Vashon’s scoring lead. The Pirates will now travel to Pasco for Saturday’s state
The Vashon High School girls’ soccer team is in the midst of a playoff run. The West Central District tournament kicked off last weekend, as the Pirates took on the Coupeville Wolves of Whidbey and produced a dominating 3-0 Vashon win. In its second game, on Tuesday, Vashon traveled to the top-seeded Seattle Christian Warriors but the outcome came after the press deadline. In the Saturday win over Coupeville, Vashon displayed its trademark strong passing and ball control, keeping nearly all the action in the Coupeville half of the field. “We played incredibly well, keeping possession for most of the match and challenging Coupeville’s keeper, who was outstanding in the goal,” said coach Karen Olsen. “I am pleased with the results and the style of soccer the girls played.” For the playoffs, Olsen had looked to boost the potency of the Pirate attackers, after Vashon invaders had been held scoreless in their last two regular season games. In a tactical shift for Saturday, the Pirates featured Mira Jewel-Peterson as an additional third striker, moved up from her usual holding midfield post. The realignment appears to have paid off with Jewel-Peterson featured in all three Vashon goals. She opened the scoring herself with a quick redirection over the Coupeville keeper from a nearby cross from Emily Brown. Later in first half, Jewel-Peterson took advantage of a Wolves’ defensive

The last time the Pirates were district champions was in 2005, when the team went on to place fifth in Pasco. In the boys’ cross country race, the Pirates also finished in a tight group, with only 71 seconds separating the first Pirate runner, Isaac Hughes, from the fifth, Henry Kenoyer. The tight grouping was the best of any boys’ teams in their district. While the boys’ team did not advance to State, three Pirates raced to new personal bests over the course. Leading
the Pirates across the line was sophomore Isaac Hughes, followed by Hunter Justis, Quinn Weber, Aaron Kitchener, Henry Kenoyer, Nathan Williams and Joe Shugart. Personal bests were set by Hughes, Kitchener and Kenoyer. The Pirate boys did come away with a convincing win in the team yell competition, with their trademark “Pirate/Slay” chant and blood curdling scream. — Bruce Cyra assists with the cross country team.

Chester has been wonderful for us this year. He jumped in at the quarterback position with very little notice and hasn’t looked back. It truly takes a certain type of person to play the quarterback position because you’re taking charge of the entire offense. Chester definitely has that quality. He’s learned a lot over the course of the year and has become another coach for me on the field. We placed a lot of pressure on him by placing him in that position and he has come through beautifully.

error and supported on an opportunistic goal by Baily Ormsby, who had pulled up to from left defense to midfield at that point of the game. Throughout the game, the Pirates featured strong performances on the wings, repeatedly pushing the ball up outside with strong combination runs from left back and left midfielder Ormsby and game MVP Camille Deguzeman, which were matched by equally impressive runs by right back and right midfielder, Lauren Jenks and Anna de Guzman. In recognizing de Guzman as game MVP, Olsen had high praise. “Camille really stood out, with great ball control and terrific passes, creating our opportunities to score, as well as supporting the defense when necessary. Overall, Camille played her best soccer,” she said. Throughout the second half, the Pirates’ offense tested the talented Coupeville goalie, including a number of strong outside shots by senior center-midfielder Brown. The Pirates finally capped off their scoring with a blistering shot, high and wide, by striker Hannah Van Dusen, on another excellent feed by Jewel-Peterson, who escaped a few Wolves tight against their backline and found Van Dusen at the top the penalty box. Next up, the Pirates will likely play an away game Thursday and potentially could play Saturday to finish out the district post-season tournament. A first- or secondplace finish in districts would send Vashon to the state tournament next week.

At end of season, football Fall rowing season ends on high note team notches big win By PAT CALL
For The Beachcomber
By CHERYL PRUETT For The Beachcomber
It was a perfect setting for a Halloween night football game. Darkness fell, the temperature dropped, and the steam rose in waves off the football players’ sweaty bodies. The fog rolled in off the treeline, settling low over the Pirates’ home field, and Vashon rolled over the Chimacum Cowboys, scoring a season-high seven touchdowns, and winning the contest, 54-20. The Pirates scored on their first possession of the game with their usual formula of running the ball with Bryce Hoisington and Nate Lawson gaining most of the yardage. A Chester Pruett pass to Lawson was the first score for the Pirates. Chimacum scored on their next possession, but failed to convert any extra points. Lawson quickly got the Pirates on the board again with his second touchdown of the night and the two-point conversion. The Cowboys returned the subsequent kickoff almost the entire length of the field and punched in a score shortly before the end of the first quarter. After the first 12 minutes, the game was a tight 16-14 in favor of the Pirates. From there on out, the game was all Vashon. Bryce Hoisington ran the Cowboys ragged on the next series, scoring in a touchdown early in the second quarter. Lawson got the call on the two-point conversion, and the score was 24-14. Quarterback Pruett had the next two scores, both rushing touchdowns, and one two-point conversion. The score was 38-14 with 9:29 to go in the third quarter. And then things got weird. Vashon’s ugly kickoff took a fortuitous bounce off a Cowboy and was quickly recovered by the Pirates. Vashon worked the ball down to third and goal and then fumbled, turning the ball over to the
Cowboys. After two unsuccessful Chimacum snaps, the Pirates forced a fumble that was recovered in the endzone by defensive lineman Jason Kruly for the Pirates sixth score of the night. Lawson scored the twopoint extra, and the Pirates were up 46-14. The Pirate defense smothered Chimacum on their next series. Massive hits by Ron Krieger and Jason Kruly drove their kickoff returner deep. Kruly and Pruett combined to break up three successive pass plays, taking the ball back for another Vashon possession. At the start of the fourth quarter, freshman quarterback Andrew McCammant took the helm for the first time this season. After a series to nowhere, the Pirates were forced to punt, the resulting Cowboy return put them deep in the red-zone, and they scored two plays later. McCammant continued to guide the Pirates through the end of the game using the running of freshman Connor Hoisington and sophomore Kellan Riley. Vashon’s last score was run in by junior Arthur Moore, and McCammant scored the two-point conversion. Defensively, Vashon had great plays from Kruly, Krieger and Logan Nelson. The Hoisington brothers had multiple tag-team tackles. Kruly had an impressive play, grasping the ball carrier, and as he flicked the ball to another Cowboy, Kruly brought him down as well. Moore saved a sure Chimacum score with a lastgasp shoelace snag stop, and Bryce Hoisington saved another probable score with an impressive com- frombehind open field pantsing. The Pirates’ last game of the season will be against the same Chimacum team this Friday in Port Townsend. — Cheryl Pruett is the mother of two Pirate football players.
The first Sunday in November is the date for the Northwest’s premier fall regatta, the Head of the Lake race through the University of Washington’s Montlake Cut. This year the 5k race took place on a chilly but relatively calm morning and was well attended with over 450 collegiate master and junior crews, a boisterous crowd of thousands of spectators, a flotilla of geese not the least bothered to move out of way of onrushing shells and one very sturdy sea lion, who appeared to be enjoying himself immensely. Serious competition greeted Vashon crews for whom it had been three years since winning one of the hand-blown glass first-place medals. As in 2011, it was the junior men’s coxed quad (Patrick Hanson Fletcher Call, Liam McConnell, Forrest Miller and coxswain Olivia Mackie) that ended the medal drought with a solid row. Vashon crews entered in nine of 34 events, and by early afternoon, the rowing was finished, and Vashon had four secondplace and one third-place finishes to go along with the gold. Second-place master winners were the mixed eight and the men’s double. An event unique to this regatta, the parent/child double, also garnered a second, as did the junior women’s double that missed first place by only 5 seconds over a 22 minute race. The master women’s double took third in its event. The previous day was the Greenlake Frostbite Regatta, which is the only sprint race (1,000 meters) on the fall calendar. Vashon entered 19 master and junior events, winning nine and placing second and third in three other events each.

The men’s junior quad placed first at the Head of the Lake last weekend. Last year the event was canceled due to high winds, leading to a slightly lower attendance this time around. Three master boats won gold with the women’s four (Su Dewalt, Mary Rothermel, Lea Heffernan, Mary Simmonds and coxswain Callie Andrews) and quad (Rothermel, Carol Eggen, Heffernan and Debby Jackson) winning each of their races by just over a second. The race of the day, however, was the master women’s double (the “two Marys” boat, Rothermal and Simmonds). In masters’ rowing, races are handicapped by age so that older people in boats have time subtracted from their raw time to get a final score. This system sometimes leads to a bemusing spectacle where a boat that is 150 meters “behind” at race end is in fact in the lead. The “two Marys,” however, won outright by two boat lengths — against a field in which they had a nearly 30-year age handicap. Winning junior boats were the men’s novice eight (Conner van Egmond, Cole Puckett, Seth Rosen, Cooper Py, Joey Papa, Andreas Lorentzen, Rohin Petram, Malcom Henry and cox, Mackie), coxed novice 4 (van

A mixed junior double (Miller and Girard) also took the gold. The junior crew also took second in the men’s lightweight four and the women’s lightweight eight and novice four. Third-place junior finishes for the women’s open and junior varsity eight and the open four rounded out the medal tally. Coach Richard Parr congratulated the team on a successful fall season. “The Head of the Lake race is a great calibration for our team’s progress this fall, and our performance this weekend was a good one,” he said. “As always, much work remains to be done, and the team will get back to those tasks next week with an expanded winter program.”

VHS tennis team sees mixed results at districts By PAT MULVIHILL For The Beachcomber
The final tournament of the season for Vashon boys tennis took place last Thursday and Friday at the Lakewood Racquet Club. Vashon had a somewhat daunting task due to some unfortunate seeding, which had them facing first or second seeds in the first round. Thursday morning was a rough start for the Pirates; the first doubles team of Preston Peterson and Brett Beardsley was forced to default with a sick player. The second team of Tristan Krajeovic and Payton Lieske lost their first match but were not eliminated from the double-elimination tourney. At first singles, Steen Jennings lost a
very tough first-round match in three close sets to the number-two ranked player in the tournament, but he was not eliminated. Both teams were still alive in the losers’ bracket. Josh Tillman ,playing at second singles, also lost a hard-fought three-set match which, unfortunately, was a loser-out match. On Friday, Vashon had only its second doubles and first singles left in the tournament. Both Vashon entries immediately began to have better results, working their way through the losers bracket. The doubles team was eventually stopped in three sets by a good Klahowya team. The Pirate duo finished fifth for the tournament. In singles, Jennings worked his way
through the entire losers’ bracket with some long, hard matches and finished the day winning the losers’ bracket and in third place overall. The third-place finish is at least good for the alternate position to the state tournament in the spring and will possibly qualify for a direct transfer, depending on how many slots District 3 is allotted. Despite a tough start to the tournament, the Pirates played well throughout, and their comeback the second day was an impressive achievement to build on and a great way to end a successful season.

BROWN CONTINUED FROM 1
students in Harlem, to editing newspapers and starting his own media company. But he began his career reporting for small papers in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. While many of Brown’s stories from those earlier years in newspapers reflect a simpler time in the media, they are no less fascinating. At one paper, Brown used to write up police reports and tells a story about one time when he was visiting his girlfriend, who lived in the same town as the chief of police. He had to meet with the chief the next morning and didn’t want to make the drive twice, so he asked if he could simply spend the night in the local jail. “The chief said ‘Sure,’ and he even made me take out my shoelaces so I could have a realistic experience,” Brown recalled. “This was Greenwhich, Connecticut, which is a pretty wealthy area, so I figured the jail there would probably be pretty nice and it was. When I woke up in the morning, the chief brought me English muffins and coffee, and we did the police reports.” With his self-imposed record expunged over the breakfast, Brown eventually moved on from small-town newspapers to become a correspondent for United Press International. He also took up freelance work writing news documentaries, worked for an NBC affiliate TV station in New York and wrote promotional material for various other NBC affiliates around the country. Once such promo was for a Bob Hope special that was to be broadcast from a new concert hall in Indianapolis, an opportunity that turned into a career break for him. “I had heard that the acoustics in the new venue were not very good,” Brown said. “So on a whim, I wrote in the promo that Hope himself was going to be reading, that the audience shouldn’t expect (Bing) Crosby … because you know they
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
Page 17
had that rivalry.” As it turned out, Hope was amused. “He laughed at that part and asked who wrote it,” Brown said. “We got in touch, and I ended up scripting most of his monologue for that show. That was fun.” Discovering that he had a knack for comedy, Brown branched out in his freelance work. Over the course of his career, he wrote material for radio and television host Arthur Godfrey, Second City Television, and even did stand-up in some of the most well-known comedy clubs in New York. “It was terrifying,” Brown said of his stand-up days. “But I had to test my material. Other people can tell you that what you write is funny, but you really don’t know until you’re working with an audience yourself. It gave me courage.” Brown worked the stand-up circuit in New York for about five years, with his most memorable moment occurring during a star-studded charity telethon. As he tells it, he was scheduled to go on at around 1 a.m., after some big-name celebrities such as Robin Williams and Lily Tomlin. “Bette Middler, who was the emcee for the event, came backstage to call me on, but she couldn’t remember my name,” Brown said. “So she ended up yelling out, ‘I’m looking for the only guy that doesn’t tell any dick jokes.’ That was great. I’ll never forget that.” All joking aside, it was Brown’s many years working with Time-Life broadcasting and ultimately Time magazine that will provide the backdrop for his talk on Sunday. Not wanting to give away any spoilers, Brown said that he will talk about some of the famous and infamous people he met during his tenure there and offer some stories from his experiences during what he refers to as “the last great years in news magazine publishing.” “I don’t want to get into a lecture on the issues with modern media,” he was careful to point out. “There are reasons that things are different now.” In those years, there was no internet, Brown noted, and
there was a great deal of money spent on news reporting for print media. “There were news bureaus in every major city all over the world, and correspondents lived in the areas where their bureaus were. Editors had carte blanche to make everything the best, hiring researchers, fact checkers, cartographers, photographers, all sorts of specialists. So much money was spent on print in those days that no one can afford now.” But Brown also believes very strongly in the future of news media. “We’ve removed the gatekeepers, so to speak. It’s kind of extraordinary. I think it has potential and it’s exciting. I don’t want to be cynical. Who knows where we’ll be five or 10 years from now.” Brian Brown will speak at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 9, at Bethel Church. Tickets are by donation and are available in advance at the Vashon Bookshop, Vashon Community Care or vashoncommunitycare.org. All proceeds will benefit the VCC Foundation. Brown is also a regular on KVSH radio, with a show called “Brown Briefly: Less is More, More or Less.”

– Rj Ontiveros –
Ramon Valles Ontiveros was born in San Diego, California on February 22, 1989. He passed on October 24th, 2014 here on Vashon Island. His life was filled with many adventures. He was our go-kid from the start. As soon as he could sit up he was in a backpack riding with us on our horses. From the age of two to five we lived on a ranch in the Sespe Wilderness. His life was filled with adventures; down the Sespe on horseback, across the Piedra Blanca and into the Los Padres Nation Forest. He would lie in the grass watching bugs for hours, float on his alligator in the swimming hole, fish for bluegill with his dad and watch meteor showers in the night sky. His indoors was the outdoors. We moved to Vashon in the summer of 1997 and Rj started third grade that fall. He did the usual stuff all island kids do. He struggled in that he did not like the competitive aspect of sports but enjoyed the company of the team. He found a passion for activities that relied on focus and disciplined skills; archery, riding, target shooting, martial arts, snowboarding and skate boarding. His natural artistic skills included painting, drawing and pottery. His interests included music, mysticism and mythology. Rj grew up in a house of mixed traditions and beliefs; a little bit of everything from Episcopal and Catholic, Native American, Spiritualist and Eastern Traditions – all mixed in with a little Dragon Ball Z. His grandmother, Nancy Neary, was a profound influence on him guiding him through his questions as to the nature of spirit and the universe. He in turn helped her with her Red Hat projects – never complaining and always volunteering. After graduating high school he followed in his father’s footsteps and went to Cortiva Institute. As a massage therapist he found his passion – “This is what I want to do…healing work for others.” He did not like the massage mills. He wanted “to help the person with what they needed not what they paid for…” He never judged anyone and always looked past their issues to find the heart in them, giving of himself to young and old. He found satisfaction in working on the Island helping others, including his kids – his Millennial Tribe. His immediate family members include; Ramon L. Ontiveros his dad, Judith A. Neary his mom, Ayla Goering his girlfriend, Patrick and Julie Neary his uncle and aunt, Wayne Martin and Will Kilbourne his godfathers and his beloved animals, Trinity his dog, Aggie his horse, Hobbes and Pwar his cats. Please join us for a service celebrating his life at the Bethel Church, Saturday, November 8th, at 1pm. The celebration will continue with food and beverage after the service. We have started a foundation for Rj’s Kids. Rj’s Kids; to teach the Millennial kids body-mind balance through exercise, mindful meditation techniques and whole nutrition. Rj’s House; the first one will be built here on Vashon. This will be a space for Rj’s Kids to gather as a tribe and continue developing the skills necessary to thrive in today’s world. Rj’s Tribe; the core values established with Rj’s Kids that these Millennials will take forward into their life.

FOOTBALL CONTINUED FROM 1
several Pirate players described how playing football this season has been fun, but also frustrating. At that time, the Pirates had won just one of their eight matchups. Crowds at games have been small, and students have even poked fun at them at school. “It’s been a rollercoaster,” said senior Eli Hudson. “There have been some times when we have been feeling pretty down.” Vashon’s football team has historically not been known for winning, but the boys on this year’s team believe they’d have a better shot with a larger roster. With 20 players (a few more started the season but dropped out), the current football team is smaller than in any year since 2001, which is as far back as the school district provided participation numbers. Football participation peaked in the 2009-2010 school year, when 47 boys signed up to play. Those involved with the team say that with such small numbers, it’s nearly impossible to play a scrimmage or have full offensive and defensive lines, much less a bench to sub players out and prevent fatigue. Senior Nate Lawson said he has been on the field for all but just a few downs this season. Other players described being tired and bruised at the end of games. “Every game is a fight for every one of those guys,” Lawson said. More don’t play football, the boys speculate, because they’re not interested in joining a losing team, or perhaps because they want to focus on other sports. But several players also said they believe concerns over injury — concussions in particular — have kept some from picking up the pigskin. “I’ve talked to people who are playing lacrosse and not football because of that,” said junior Andrew Hitchcock. In recent years the issue of concussions in sports has captured news headlines as evidence of long-term trauma caused by brain injuries in professional sports has mounted. In football, one in three NFL players is expected to suffer the effects of brain trauma brought on by repeated injuries. On Vashon, concussions are a top concern for parents, said Cheryl Pruett, whose twin sons have played football since they were young. “I think a lot of parents have — some of it is well-founded — fears over injuries that can happen. It’s football, not Tiddlywinks,” she said. Pruett and other football parents said that while they do worry about injuries, they also know there’s a chance of concussion in many sports. What’s more, football coaches are now teaching players to tackle more safely — not head first — and there’s more awareness about concussions, their symptoms and the importance of not putting players back on the field after possible injury. “A lot of the old ways of teaching football don’t exist anymore,” said Kelvin Goliday, who coaches Vashon’s football team. “There are a lot of things we don’t do now that 20 years ago was the norm.” In fact, in 2009, Washington became the first state to pass far-reaching legislation designed to prevent brain injury in high school athletes. The law was inspired by a Tahoma High School graduate who nearly died from a concussion he suffered during a middle school football game. By 2013, all 50 states had passed similar laws. Mike Colbrese, executive director of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, said he, too, hears that parents are concerned about concussions in football, but he hasn’t seen it impact the sport’s

One of those parents was Desiree Nelson, whose son Logan was sidelined at the time due to a concussion he suffered at the previous game — the only concussion on the team this season. No one caught Logan’s concussion on the field, Desiree said, and she only had him examined after one of his teachers called their home to say Logan had been acting strangely in class. “There was no way I was going to let Logan play, even if he was cleared,” Nelson said of the Homecoming game, adding that at least nine other parents shared her concerns. “We as the adults should have made that hard decision and said, ‘You know what, I don’t think it’s safe to play this game,’” she said. Ultimately, however, Goliday and VHS Athletic Director Stephanie Spencer decided Vashon would play Cascade Christian’s varsity team as scheduled.

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 30 years! Available for Adoption 10 yr old TESS is a smart, loving, easy going polydactyl which means that she has extra toes on her two front paws. A move has meant that Tess has to find a new home. Tess loves humans and she gets along with other pets, dogs included. When Tess is feeling like having some fun, she will play fetch with a small bag of beans or a tinfoil ball. Tess is pretty adaptable too. You will quickly find her on your lap begging for scratches behind her neck. She makes the most of her scratching post and has always been consistent with the litter box.
PHOEBE is a looker for sure. If Eileen Ford had run a model agency for cats, Phoebe would have been her “It Girl.� Phoebe is one of several cats recently turned over to VIPP when the person who cared for them suddenly realized that since he had not neutered the first cat that showed up, he was entering the nightmare stage of having cats galore. Phoebe is a gentle cat who finds making muffins a favorite past time.
Dear VIPP, I was asked to host a VIPP cat named Zeke. He had an ongoing Herpes infection in his eye, and he needed medication. “Of course, I said, but he can’t stay I already have 5 cats�...having just lost an older kitty, Zeke I could give him a ‘temporary home for 2 weeks. I told Zeke “don’t start liking it here, you can’t stay�, he didn’t answer. Two weeks led to two months. Again I reminded him “sorry Zeke you can’t stay, as much as I like you�. The very next week, I told him that he was to be returned to the shelter, but there were 4 new cats in his old room! It didn’t seem fair to return him! Well I think Zeke knew along that he could stay at ‘Deb’s home for wayward puds.’

CONSUMER ALERT
Scammers are targeting newspapers Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers. Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution: Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone. The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper, and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices, to report a problem with the customer’s credit card.
Find your perfect pet in the Classifieds. www.nw-ads.com
