Island Center Forest sees record number of registered hunters About 70 hunters registered at Island Center Forest during last month’s 21-day deer hunt, a record for the pilot hunting program. Four deer were taken from the forest during that time, according Dave Kimmett, a natural lands manager for the county Department of Natural Resources and Parks (DNRP). Three hunters contacted King County to report their kills, Kimmett said, while a fourth deer was reported by one of those hunters who knew of another person who got a deer. This is the fourth year King County has allowed hunting in Island Center Forest for three weeks in October as a part of a five-year pilot project. During the hunt, the popular forest was closed to all other uses, while the Gateway and Natural area properties remained open. Kimmett said he considers this year’s
hunt a success, as there were more reported hunters than ever, four deer taken and no complaints from non-hunters or neighbors of the forest. “This has been our most successful hunt to date,” Kimmett said. Last year 58 hunters registered at Island Center Forest and reported taking two deer. The year before, there were just 38 registered hunters, and again four deer taken. But 2011 saw the most deer killed, when about 60 registered hunters reportedly came away with 8 deer. The 70 recorded hunter visits this year may include multiple visits by the same hunter. Fifteen hunters were from Vashon, and 13 were from other parts of King County. Other hunters came from Pierce, Kitsap, Snohomish and Thurston counties. — Natalie Martin

King County considers water taxis’ unsustainable future Property tax increase expected after 2016 to maintain service By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
As King County takes measures to reduce the cost of running its two water taxis, officials say they will still have to raise taxes to sustain the service past 2016. The county will rely on the water taxis’ robust financial reserve to keep the passenger ferries afloat for the next two years and recently approved one fare increase for 2016. “The financial stability going into the future, it’s not great, but it does get better every time we take a look at it,” said King County Councilmember Joe McDermott, who also chairs the King County Ferry District. When King County took over operation
of the Vashon and West Seattle water taxi routes between 2007 and 2009, it established a special purpose district to manage the ferries and levy a property tax of 5.5 cents per $1,000 in assessed value. When the district did not add other passenger routes throughout the Puget Sound as anticipated, the county dropped the tax significantly in2010, to one-third of a cent per $1,000, which also freed up levy funds to support the struggling Metro bus service. “We raked it in for a while, but then we dropped it,” McDermott said. “We’ve been living off financial reserves all this time.” While the ferry district built a large reserve during its first few years of operation, McDermott said it’s also been expensive to operate it as a special purpose district — a separate government entity that must hire out for its administrative, legal and accounting needs, rather than use the county’s in-house services. The district also employed one person who managed it, a

Ridership on the Vashon to downtown Seattle water taxi route peaked last year, when there were nearly 188,000 rides. Ridership is down slightly this year. position that has been vacant for several months. To save on those redundant costs, King County Council voted last week to fold the ferry district and consolidate it into King County government at the beginning of 2015. McDermott said the move is expected to save about $400,000 a year. The ferry service will be a part of the county’s Department of Transportation and will continue to be managed by the Marine Division. “I think it’s an excellent thing,” McDermott said of the move. Even with that and other savings achieved through cost cutting and lower fuel prices, the water taxi service is not sustainable, McDermott said, and the county will rely on the current reserve of about $9 million to sustain it for the next two years. King County will spend about $14 million to operate the ferries during the 2014 and 2015 and will pay about $2 million to build two new water taxis that will join the routes next year. About 80 percent of the cost of the new ferries, which are currently being built, is covered by a federal grant. McDermott said the council also approved one fare increase in the next two years — a 50-cent hike in March of 2016. Councilmembers will decide in the next two years how much they will raise taxes to cover water taxi costs. The county council has the ability to raise property taxes to cover the water taxi up to 7.5 cents per $1,000.

“It’s a delicate balance in that the ferry district serves a limited number of people in the county, and yet I think it’s an important transit service the county provides,” McDermott said. Vashon’s water taxi ridership has been on the rise since King County took over the service from the state in 2009. However, ridership has been slightly down this year compared with 2013. There were 157,000 rides on the Vashon route through October of this year, compared with 162,000 by the same time last year. Paul Brodeur, director of King County’s Marine Division, said the lower ridership could be due to the higher number of cancelled sailings this year, as a backup vessel hasn’t been available as often. “When you add back in those lost riders, we are pretty much flat over last year,” Brodeur said in an email. He added that anecdotally, the county believes some are discouraged from riding the water taxi due to a perception that it often fills up. With a current capacity of 172, the Vashon water taxi does sometimes fill, he said, particularly the busy 5:30 p.m. sailing from Seattle. Brodeur believes the problem will be solved when the new boat, with 78 more seats, comes on in April of next year. “We are confident our 2015 ridership numbers will reflect well as a result,” he said.

Granny’s Attic signs lease, finalizing decision to move to town Thrift store will move to IGA building this winter By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Seven months after Granny’s Attic members voted to move the store into town, a lease has been signed and plans are in place for the thrift shop to relocate to the Vashon Market IGA building. The move, set for January, will provide additional and improved space for the store and make it more accessible for those who do not drive or have difficulty navigating its current cramped quarters. Also important, supporters of the move say, is that it will enable Granny’s Attic to focus its funds on providing grants for community health needs instead of on capital improvements at Sunrise Ridge, where it was located for nearly 40 years. While the rent will be higher in town, Granny’s business manager Tim Johnson said he believes Granny’s will benefit financially and be able to provide more funds for health-related projects and programs on the island. “We want to grow into the future and continue to supply grants to all the agencies that we can,” he said. “The more we raise, the more we can donate.” Both Johnson and Susan Chun, the president of the Granny’s board, say one of the aspects they are most looking forward to is having more storage space so Granny’s can hold donations, such as winter coats and holiday-related items, until people are mostly likely to buy them — instead of throwing items away as they sometimes have. “I think we will end up with more product,” Chun said. “That will mean more sales and more money we can give out.” Granny’s now provides about $200,000 a year in grants, Johnson said, and members hope to increase that by a few thousand dollars each year to keep up with inflation. Over the long-term, Johnson said he hopes that the extra storage space will help the store keep its prices down and sales up. There are no plans to raise prices at the new location, he added. Overall, the move will give Granny’s 3,500 additional
square feet of covered space. The store will move into the space Island Variety left when it closed in 2008, while the space that the Vashon Library had been in temporarily will be the new staff, sorting and dock area. An area in the back, which had housed batting cages, will serve as the new warehouse space. Some light renovation will take place before Granny’s moves in, Johnson said, including improvements to help make it accessible to those with disabilities. Granny’s is run by a small staff and many volunteers, and Chun said she hopes more volunteers will step forward once Granny’s is in town. “We’re all feeling being in the downtown core will attract more volunteers, which we desperately need,” she said. Currently, Granny’s Attic is thriving, Johnson said. Last Saturday, the store surpassed all of last year’s sales, and Johnson attributed this year’s success to several factors. The economic climate overall has improved; the hot summer seemed to bring people out to the island often, and the housing market has picked up — with increased buying and selling, Granny’s sees more donations and more purchases. Granny’s also now takes debit and credit cards and is more intentional about its organization and the merchandise it puts on the floor to sell. “It is not so much a treasure hunt now, “ Johnson said. “We try to make the basic necessities available.” For his part, Shawn Hoffman, who owns the shopping center and now operates the Vashon Market, said he believes having Granny’s there will be good for his business. “I think we will get more traffic in this side of town, get more people to come over this way and try us out,” he said. He had been looking for the right anchor tenant for a while now, he said, and had turned down some offers, but believes Granny’s is the right fit.
“We want to keep them strong and keep them going so they can support more and more causes on the island,” Hoffman said. While the move may mean a revitalization to the western edge of town, it also has implications at Sunrise Ridge, where Granny’s will vacate three buildings. The store’s long history there caused some on the Granny’s board to vote against the move, and its moving announcement came as a surprise to the Sunrise Ridge board last spring. Now, Sunrise Ridge board president Greg Martin said his board members are looking ahead optimistically. “I think the board feels we are going to land on our feet, and everyone is going to be better off,” he said. Sunrise Ridge is now exploring what islanders might want and need at the property, Martin said. The board has received several suggestions, ranging from installing several solar power arrays to creating low-income housing. “We are going to test the winds,” he said. They are not in a rush, he added, as Granny’s Attic’s lease goes through June. While they are evaluating what comes next, the board will undertake several projects, including partially dismantling one building and bringing it up to code, making major improvements to the helicopter pad on the property and beginning work on a rain garden, which will save money in King County fees. Looking to the near future, Chun noted that Granny’s largest sale of the year is coming up the day after Thanksgiving. In just three hours, Granny’s members hope to surpass the $11,000 they brought in during the sale last year. Special items have been set aside specifically for the sale. “Wear comfortable shoes, and bring your elbows because you are going to need them,” Chun said.

Historic deal with China paves the way Group sees that our health for a global fight against climate change ENVIRONMENT care hangs in the balance EDITORIAL
Health care on Vashon has always been tricky, as it is in any small town. Basic care has been easy to find, but islanders have found themselves going to Seattle or Tacoma to see specialists, for urgent care or even for something as simple as an ultrasound. In recent years, however, the health care picture here has worsened. Several providers have discontinued their practices or cut their hours — often citing the demands of being on call and growing insurance requirements — and for the most Simply quantifying part they are not being the challenges Vashon replaced with new faces. providers face and framing It’s now harder to find a the issue will be a positive doctor or other provider, step forward. particularly one who accepts Medicare. Several clinics say recruiting is difficult, and it’s becoming more and more apparent that Vashon is not an attractive place for health care providers to hang a shingle. What will happen when there simply aren’t enough providers to serve Vashon’s population? Are we already at or nearing that place? Inadequate health care on the island could have ripple effects on our population. The issue has been a growing topic of conversation, and now one group of people has determined not to sit idly by. A group of well-respected islanders is taking a close look at this situation and surveying providers on their challenges. They’re trying to see what it would take to keep the island’s doctors, nurses and naturopaths in business, and to attract new ones. It’s hard to imagine how private citizens could have much influence on the local health care scene. But leave it to Vashon Islanders to take that up as a cause. One early idea they have is to form a nonprofit that would help providers with the tasks they find most time consuming — insurance paperwork or billing — and offer services that they would find at larger clinics. That kind of aid, group members believe, just might keep their doors open or make Vashon a more appealing place. This model for health care services isn’t a common one, and there are many unanswered questions. Chief among them is where the funding would come from. But this group is in its early stages; there are smart people on board, and they know the difficult task ahead. Simply quantifying the challenges Vashon providers face and framing the issue will be a positive step forward. We’re eager to see where they go from there.

decrease our country’s emissions. But many homes and businesses have an opportunity to lower their energy bills by installing energy-saving or renewable energy equipment that has the added benefit of reducing climate change. Studies have shown that per dollar invested, more jobs are created by energy efficiency and renewable energy than by fossil fuels. A growing number of companies are already putting their money into lower carbon output options because they see it as one of the best ways to make money and a necessity for staying competitive. What is already too expensive is the growing number of climate change-related weather disasters, shrinking water supplies, reduced food production, climate refugees and greater threats to national security. Those costs are part of fossil fuel business as usual. Our current financial system does not make the greatest greenhouse gas emitters pay for these costs, so we pay for them now. There are many practical solutions at the local, regional, state and national level that are working well and making for a more prosperous economy and society. For example, by 2016 solar power-generated electricity will be as cheap or cheaper than electricity from the conventional grid in every state except three. For us on Vashon, some of the solutions that can save the most include making sure your home is well insulated and air sealed and installing efficient lighting, an efficient heating system and solar panels. For an extra $10 to $12 per month, you can select completely renewable electricity from Puget Sound Energy.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Climate change
Art based on geology reminds us the earth is warming Julie Speidel’s erratics are haunting 3-D images of massive stones once supported and transported here by ice (“Local sculptor draws on geology as her works dot the country,” Nov. 12). Those objects and her metallic visions of them are now resting on warm ground that is becoming

warmer. The ice has receded, slowly at first, over thousands of years, then in recent decades at a pace unprecedented in geologic history. Let’s hope her creations become widely accepted and installed, and that we all get the message in time. If not, well, at least the erratics, hers and the originals, will be here — just underwater.

Halloween Fun for Young & Old at the Vashon Eagles
I would like to offer a Bouquet for the Eagles raising over $350 for the VHS Drama Dept and hosting nearly 70 children for the Hallow’s Eve Spook House. The Eagles also provided a tractor for the new Vashon Children’s Center hay ride. Vashon Eagles is a friendly, hometown community oriented club that supports many different charities. - Connie Sorensen
SOME QUICK TIPS TO GET READY FOR WINTER! I’m always asked to repeat this list from year to year to help you get ready for winter:
1. Clean the gutters! Water can penetrate under your crawl space and even into your walls and roofing and cause serious mold problems. 2. If you haven’t done it already, call the heating and cooling contractors and have your furnace serviced and cleaned for the year. This is critical if you use a fuel like oil, propane or natural gas. This makes your furnace safer, but also saves you big bucks by running more efficiently. 3. Be sure you’re ready for power outages. A generator is fine, especially for pumping your well and running the refrigerator but frankly, a few days without the TV is good for you! Use battery or propane lamps, a battery powered radio for weather news and be sure you’ve stored plenty of food and water. 4. Clean decks and walkways so the moss build-up won’t be too slippery. Consider putting non-skid strips or outdoor carpet on slick stairs. 5. Look around your yard for objects that can get lost under a few inches of snow. You don’t want to lose the dog’s favorite ball and you sure don’t want to step on a rake you forgot was there! 6. Have your car serviced and checked out for winter driving. Have ice scraping tools in the car as well as jackets and a warm blanket in the trunk in case you get stranded. 7. Try not to use portable heaters in the house, but if you must, then unplug them when you leave home. They are a major cause of fires. 8. Clean dryer vents and range vents which are also fire hazards. 9. Have the chimney cleaned if you have a wood stove or fireplaces. They are another source of house fires. 10. Go to VashonBePrepared.org online and print out their emergency readiness brochure with check lists for everything you need to know about weather related and other emergencies. Last but not least: stock up on hot chocolate!

Anne “Orca Annie” Stateler and Odin Lonning of the Vashon Hydrophone Project will debut a new program at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Land Trust Building. “The Sacred Whale: Requiem for Ruffles (J1)” is both a loving tribute and an exploration of cultural and social dynamics in the Puget Sound’s resident killer whale communities.

He died four years ago after fathering a number of southern resident offspring.

Earlier this month VIPP’s annual fundraiser, the Fur Ball, drew a crowd of 280 guests, which was 40 more than anticipated, and many more were left on a waiting list. At the gala, billed as the “sparkliest fur ball ever,” attendees celebrated VIPP’s 30th year of work on the island with fashion flair, and early reports are that the event brought the organization about $100,000, which is $20,000 more than last year. The Volunteer of the Year award was renamed the Barbara Drinkwater for her service as founder and her 30 years of active volunteering. VIPP’s future plans include researching the possibility of providing and supporting an island dog park. For more information, including animals to adopt, see www.vipp.org.

Wednesday, November 19, 2014 • Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber
PREPAREDNESS CONTINUED FROM 1
“This is just the early warning,” said Rick Wallace, also with VashonBePrepared. About 6,500 homes and business on Vashon lost power during last Tuesday’s windstorm, when winds reaching 60 mph ripped through the region. Some homes were dark until Thursday afternoon, according to Puget Sound Energy (PSE). A similar windstorm two weeks earlier knocked out power to 3,000. “Now we’ve had two periods where almost everyone on the island at one time or another lost power,” Wallace said. “This is your alarm clock going off, saying, ‘Winter is happening. I need to get ready.’” Experts say it’s not yet clear what winter has in store for the Pacific Northwest, but more storms are possible. Forecasters have been predicting an El Niño winter, bringing weather that’s warmer and drier than average to the region. But Johnny Burg, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Seattle office, said that the El Niño weather pattern could be a weak one. The latest forecasts call for a 58 percent chance of El Niño in the next three months. “Things are looking like it could occur, but anything could happen,” Burg said, adding that an El Niño wouldn’t necessarily preclude a major storm. “We have had storms during El Niño years,” he said. When storms hit the region, many believe Vashon is especially vulnerable. The trees that cover the island become hazards in the wind, falling over roads and onto power lines. PSE employs two repairmen who live on Vashon, but when damage requires more help, it relies on off-island crews, which can take time to get to the island. And when wintery weather brings snow or ice, only the island’s main highway and most-used sideroads see plowing and ice removal, leaving many stranded down unplowed roads or long driveways. To that end, Wallace and other local volunteers are not only urging preparedness, but trying to make it easier for islanders to handle storms. Wintertime is when a troupe of volunteers with Voice of Vashon (VoV) are busier than ever, trying to reach Vashon residents with real-time information about power outages, road conditions and ferry delays. The emergency alerts began broadcasting seven years ago on 1650 AM and are now put out on social media, the VoV website and the VashonAll, an email listserv with 1,600 subscribers. The 1650 AM station can now also be accessed on the KVSH app for smartphones and tablets, and Voice of Vashon is working to get alerts bannered on the app and its website and broadcast on KVSH — the new FM station — as well. “We’re still in our infancy stage technology-wise and still pushing forward to try to reach more of the community,” said Luke McQuillin, who heads VoV’s alert team.

McQuillin said there are currently seven volunteers who take turns being on duty a week at a time for the alerts, which they record from home. They are typically on standby from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. to disseminate information and are ready to work around the clock in a major emergency. “There is a level of excitement about it. ... It’s sort of a thrill to feel like I can really help, and it’s important,” he said. Still, McQuillin said, the alerts require a significant commitment, and the team has had trouble keeping volunteers. He said he’d like to enter the winter storm season with at least 10 people on board. “If we had more people, it would help get some of the loose ends tightened up a little bit,” he said. Puget Sound Energy is also devising new ways to communicate this winter. The PSE website has a new outage map that marks all known outages, lists how many are affected and in some instances gives an estimated time for restoration. Patti McClements, PSE’s community services manager for Vashon, said the power company is also about to announce a new smartphone app that will give similar information. “Of course, the old fashioned way of calling us still works,” she said. VashonBePrepared is also stressing an old-fashioned notion this winter — getting to know your neighbors. The nonprofit is beginning another push for island neighborhoods to start or revive NEROs, or Neighborhood Emergency Response Organizations. In past years, about 120 NEROs have formed on Vashon, according to Vicky DeMonterey Richoux, a VashonBePrepared board member who recently took over the NERO program from Joe Ulatoski. She said NEROs typically include five to 15 households that meet at least once a year to get to know each other and determine how they might check on one another and work together during a large storm, earthquake or other emergency. They also designate one or more people who will be responsible for reporting to emergency responders on the status of their neighborhood during a major disaster. “We’re trying to make a big push this year to get them comfortable with the reporting up part,” she said. Islanders at Spring Beach recently combined their new NERO with a new block watch effort. Richards, who lives at Spring Beach, said many there have been concerned about suspected drug activity at the south-end neighborhood and wanted to be “proactive instead of reactive.” As winter is approaching, it seemed natural for a block watch program to go hand-in-hand with an emergency preparedness program. Recent meetings have included briefings from deputies about crime in the area and what to do if they see suspicious activity, as well as talks about creating emergency kits and treating contaminated drinking water. “By combining them, we get them thinking about the total package of having a safe neighborhood and watching out for each other,” Richards said, adding that crime is a top concern for many islanders and can bring people to a meeting that they might not otherwise attend. Before ;ast
Friday’s meeting, she said she expected about three-quarters of her neighborhood would attend that night. “The interesting thing is when you talk about crime, everyone is very interested,” she said. “When you talk about being prepared for a natural disaster or some kind of emergency, people tend to say ‘I’ll deal with that later.’” Not dealing with it later has been the mantra for VashonBePrepared, which routinely urges islanders to consider what they will do should a storm or other emergency hit the island. Wallace said the VashonBePrepared board is currently determining what its public awareness approach will be this winter, but he frequently advises islanders do three things to prepare: have 10 days of food, water and medication on hand, know how to get emergency information and keep an emergency kit in the car. “If you don’t want to be really uncomfortable, don’t hit the snooze alarm,” he said. “Listen to the wake-up call.” For more information on VoV’s emergency alert team, email luke.mcquillin@voiceofvashon.org.

25th Holly Daze will offer gifts and more This weekend a long holiday tradition on Vashon will continue when the Holly Daze Bazaar takes over the McMurray Middle School cafeteria. This year’s bazaar will feature more than 57 local vendors who will have holiday gifts, crafts, decorations and food for sale. Handmade items for purchase will include jewelry, soaps, pet toys, garden decorations, reclaimed art, alpaca scarves and carved wood items. Hot dogs will be on hand for those who come hungry, and giftwrapping service will be provided. Holly Daze organizers call the bazaar a one-stop shop for all things holiday. “Buy something for someone special, and take advantage of the gift wrapping service,” said Molly Malone in a press
release, “all in a festively decorated hall, with background holiday music.” Holly Daze is not a fundraiser; vendor pay a modest fee for their tables, but retains all their profits. Malone said Holly Daze was first put on in 1990 by the Vashon Soroptomists as a way to give the island’s creative people an opportunity to sell their handicrafts and earn some extra holiday cash. The Soroptomists continued to sponsor the event until 2010, when the St. John Vianney Catholic Church’s women’s group took over producing the annual bazaar. Holly Daze will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the McMurray Middle School cafeteria.
PSE to give customers one-time credit from multi-million-dollar sale in 2010 Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is giving all its costumers a one-time payout from the 2010 sale of its infrastructure in Jefferson County. Homes on Vashon will see, on average, a $40 credit on their power bills in December and January. PSE sold its Jefferson County power grid Jefferson Public Utility District 1 for $103 million. In October, the state Utilities and Transportation Commission approved PSE’s request to distribute of $5.27 million from the sale, plus interest that has accrued, to PSE customers in a one-time payout. PSE chose to give out
the credit during the wintertime, when electricity bills are typically higher. Every PSE customer — residential and commercial — will see credit from the sale based on their electricity use during the month of December. The average residential customers will see a credit of about $40, and larger users could see more. The credit will appear automatically on billing statements. Most customers will see a portion of the credit on their December statement, and the remainder on their January bill.

MARKET CONTINUED FROM 1
been targeted,” Johns said. Of specific concern to Johns and his vendors are are the fees for the farmers market recurring coordinator permit and the two types of temporary food vendor permits. The coordinator permit, which is required to hold a farmers market, is slated to increase from $502 for the market’s season to $1,162 — an increase of more than 130 percent. Johns said that while the Vashon Island Growers Association, which is responsible for the market, hopes not to pass any extra financial burden to its vendors, he also isn’t sure how the organization, which already has a thin budget, would manage the difference. “Our vendors are going to be challenged enough as it is,” he said. “We’ll find some way to cover it.” The challenge for about a quarter of the market’s vendors will come in the form of a 42 percent increase for a regular temporary food vendor permit, from $281 to $400, and a staggering 264 percent increase for a limited temporary food vendor permit, from $55 to $200. The difference between the two permits is based on several factors, including preparation details, temperature control and packaging. “It wouldn’t be so bad if we didn’t have to get re-permitted for every venue we want to sell at,” said Richard Thompson, who owns Midlife Crisis Farms. Thompson normally sells meat and sausages at the Vashon Farmers Market, as well as the Strawberry Festival and the sheepdog trials, and needs both the regular and limited permits. “Between the three venues and both permits for each, I’m in to the county for a lot of money,” he said. Patty Freebourn, who sells her tamales at the Vashon and Tacoma farmers markets, would also be affected by the increased fees. She and Thompson both said the proposed increases could force them to cut back on their business by reducing the number of venues they work. “It’s too much. It will absolutely affect what I bring home. It’s like a double wham-

Patty Freebourn is worried that if the county raises its permit fees, she may not be able to continue to sell her tamales at both the Vashon and Tacoma farmers markets. The county is currently reconsidering the fee proposal. my for the food vendors,” Freebourn said, since they have to pay fees to the market as well as fees for permits. “We are small businesses, and maybe it doesn’t sound like much, but this will add enough to the overhead that we’ll work really hard and come out with less.” The vendors that require the temporary food vendor permits are primarily those that sell prepared or processed food, leaving produce and egg farmers mostly unaffected by this proposal. Joe Yarkin, co-owner of Sun Island Farm and a fixture at the Vashon Farmers Market, is primarily a fresh produce vendor but usually sells a small crop of lamb meat in the spring, which does require a temporary food vendor permit. Should that fee increase, he said, it likely wouldn’t be worth it to continue selling the lamb. “When we’re only talking about two or three lambs, the profit would be lost,” he

said. Yarkin went on to say that he doesn’t want to see the fees raised, even though it wouldn’t affect his business as much as others. “This will really hurt the smallest producers the most, because it will affect their whole business plan,” he said. “The proposed fees are just so disproportional.” The county has been taking public comment on the proposal since August and has heard concerns from markets across King County, Elias said. Johns said that VIGA and many of its farmers market vendors have submitted their own comments. The response to the new fee schedule has been so significant that a decision on the proposal has been pushed back, Elias said, and several more meetings were added this month for stakeholders in those permit categories. Elias explained that while there have been misconceptions about the

proposal, EHS has received so much feedback that the department is now working on alternatives to present to the Board of Health in December. “We’ve received a lot of good comments and suggestions,” she said. “We are trying our best to come up with mitigation strategies now.” While it was never the county’s intent to target farmers markets or their vendors, Elias said, a recent analysis of EHS’s fees found that the county had been underestimating the time these particular permits require of its staff. The last analysis was done in 2008. “We found that for whatever reasons, the time estimates from that 2008 study were just way too low for these particular permits,” Elias said. EHS is a 100 percent cost recovery program, which means that fees must cover all of its operating costs, and the division has not raised its fees since 2012. Higher operating costs due to the addition of staff as well as a jump in permit demand, coupled with the need to reconcile the time estimates, have all contributed to the large fee increases. King County Councilmember Joe McDermott, who chairs the Board of Health, said he is aware of the concern among the county’s farmers markets and indicated it may be possible for the county to lower the proposed fees. “While we want to maintain full cost recovery, I know the subcommittee is taking another look at what the rate is and what the fees are to see if there are better ways to align the work that the department is doing and in any way lower the proposed fee increases,” he said. On Dec. 18, the Board of Health will hold a public meeting to hear from EHS regarding the feedback it’s received and any possible changes or alternatives. At the meeting the board will also take public comments for a final time before voting on the fee schedule. A final decision is not expected until after the new year. “I really don’t know how this is going to play out,” Elias said. “The board might approve it as is, or they might request that we restructure things. ... In the meantime, we’re doing our best to come up with solutions according to the feedback we’ve received.”

PANAMA HOTEL JAZZ: Steve Griggs and his ensemble will play a show inspired by the novel “Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet� this weekend. The hotel became a safe haven for personal items of many Japanese Americans while they were imprisoned during World War II. The show will be at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Blue Heron.

Japanese family farm reflects a troubled time in our history BRUCE HAULMAN and TERRY DONNELLY For The Beachcomber
The Matsuda Farm at Center, just behind the K2 facility, along with the Otsuka Farm just north of Vashon town, were the last large-scale commercial strawberry farms on Vashon. At its largest the Matsuda Farm was nearly 50 acres and sold strawberries throughout the Puget Sound region. The Vashon Maury Island Land Trust is in the process of purchasing 12 acres of this piece of Vashon’s agricultural history to assure that the farm passes from one farmer to the next, that it continues agricultural production into the future and that it provides possibilities to develop trail connections with Island Center Forest and Vashon town. During the 1920s and 1930s, strawberries were the largest single crop produced on Vashon, and by the 1930s many of the strawberry farms on Vashon were owned or farmed by Japanese immigrants and their families. The Matsuda family is a good example of how the Japanese came to Vashon, became a part of the community, were imprisoned during World War II, returned to the island after the war and then experienced the collapse of Vashon agriculture as outside forces made commercial farming no longer viable on the island. Heisuke and Mitsuno Matsuda, along with their American-born children Yoneichi (1923) and Mary (1925), came to Vashon in 1927 and began farming on leased land at Shawnee. In 1930, for $2,000, they purchased 10 acres at Center, built a four-bedroom house and a barn and began to develop the Matsuda Farm. Because Japanese immigrants were not allowed to become American citizens, because the anti-Japanese land laws prevented non-citizen Japanese from owning land and because Yoneichi was not yet of legal age, the Matsuda’s purchased the land in the name of Daiichi Umani, the adult, American-born son of their good friends and former employers in Fife. During World War II, Executive Order 9066 declared the West Coast an Exclusion Zone for those of Japanese descent and directed their mass evacuation. On May 16, 1942, the Japanese on Vashon were evacuated. The Matsudas were removed and imprisoned, first at Pinedale Assembly Center, then at Tule Lake, Heart Mountain, and finally Minidoka Internment Camps. During their imprisonment, Mary joined the Cadet Nurse Corps and trained as a nurse in Clinton, Iowa. Yoneichi joined the famous all-Japanese 442nd Regimental Combat Team and fought in Italy and France, winning a bronze star for bravery under fire. Following the war, the Matsudas returned to their Vashon farm in September 1945 and resumed growing strawberries and loganberries as their primary crops. Yoneichi joined his parents after his father was injured in an accident in May 1946 and took over management of the farm. Mary retuned to Vashon in mid-1947 and then moved to Seattle to begin her nursing career with Providence Hospital and

Yoneichi successfully ran the farm while also teaching at Ingraham High School in Seattle. Yonechi was named 1957 Conservation Farmer of the Year by the King County Soil Conservation Service for his innovative work in developing storm water retention ponds. He married Marjorie in 1958 and they had four daughters. Marjorie died in 1973, and in 1977 he married Miyoko. Yoneichi and Miyoko planted their last strawberry crop in about 1981, and in 1985, after retiring from teaching and harvesting the strawberries, Yonechi suffered a heart attack and died. Miyoko continued to run the farm but did not replant strawberries. She is the last of the Matsudas living on Vashon. Mary, her children and Yoneichi’s children all live off-island.

Mary Matsuda Gruenewald has recounted her family’s experiences in her books “Looking Like the Enemy� and “Becoming Mama San,� and islander Tom Spring has developed a fine summary history of the Matsuda farm available at the land trust. The Matsuda Farm is a good example of the changes Vashon has experienced from being agricultural based economy in the early-to-mid 20th century to a commuter/service based economy in the early 21st century. From a time when land was primarily used for agriculture, to today when land is primarily used for housing and for recreation. — Bruce Haulman is an island historian, and Terry Donnelly is an island photographer.

HEALTH CARE CONTINUED FROM 1
a nonprofit organization that would offer support services to island providers. Such a step is important to assist and retain the providers who are here, they say, as well as draw new ones to the island. In recent years, several of the island’s longtime health professionals left their jobs, with many attributing their departures to an unsustainable lifestyle in part because of the after-hours call burden. Chad Magnuson, the most recent doctor to leave, attributed his decision to an increasing load of non-medical tasks: billing, working with insurance providers, participating in audits and keeping records to comply with state and federal regulations. Several of Vashon’s current providers express the same frustrations as those who left, according to Gornall and John Jenkel, an attorney and the group’s secretary and treasurer. After considerable research, the men say that members of their coalition believe creating a nonprofit that develops in stages according to need and possibly grows into a clinic or other medical facility is likely the best option to achieve the collaborative’s goal: to create an island-owned or directed system that is not beholden to any larger entity. “Our vision is not entirely clear, but is evolving,” Jenkel said. Such an organization would serve several providers, taking advantage of the benefits that come with economies of scale, and could include diverse offerings: insurance billing services, assistance with on-call service and coordination, recruitment help and the ordering of medical and clinic supplies. By taking up these aspects of medical care, the organization would lessen some of the issues that “eat away” at providers,
WWW.VASHONBEACHCOMBER.COM
Gornall said, allowing them to focus on patient care. “If we do not take care of our providers … they cannot provide,” he added. Katie Konrad, a popular nurse practitioner who began working at the Vashon Women’s Health Center this month and previously worked at Fulton Family Medicine, recently joined the collaborative because she believes it has the potential to improve medical care on the island. From her own experience, she is familiar with the island’s demands of providing clinical care, which caused her to take a several-month sabbatical earlier this year and then return to work just one day a week after wondering if she could return to work on the island at all. “I think we need innovative solutions,” she said. Konrad, like some others on Vashon, noted that there is a shortage of primary care practitioners on Vashon, and in particular, a shortage of those who will accept Medicare. Gornall added this is particularly troubling given the island’s demographics: 17 percent of the island’s population is over 65, compared to 12 percent in the rest of King County. The Franciscan clinic sees patients with Medicare, but Fulton Family Medicine is closed to new Medicare patients for now, according to clinic manager Kathy Henke, and the Vashon Women’s Health Center — which only sees women — requires that Medicare recipients also have a supplemental policy, Konrad said. Naturopathic physicians are not eligible to be covered through Medicare, but Kelly Wright, owner of Vashon Natural Medicine, said that the medical doctors who work at her office, Kim Farrell — who left the Vashon Health Center two years ago because of the prolonged heavy workload — and Carolyn Brinkley, do not accept it either, as reimbursement rates are too low.

Naturopath Nicole Maxwell said she is feeling the Medicare crush at her clinic, as she has several patients who are getting close to Medicare age, and she feels that options are limited for where to send them. It is a situation Gornall and other members of the group take seriously. “Everyday one of us on the island is getting over 65, and we need to address this,” he said. In looking for ways a nonprofit organization might support the delivery of local medical services, the collaborative is also exploring creating a lab, which local providers could rely on instead of sending their blood work off-island. Having such a lab would provide a level of health security, supporters say, for example, if tests are needed in the middle of the night or in case of disaster. Now, with the survey distributed to 15 providers, collaborative members are hoping to get responses back by Friday and evaluate the results. With this information in hand, Gornall said they will know better how to proceed. “What does the audience really want?” he said. “What (services) would be used or not used up front, or is there sufficient interest at all?” For her part, Maxwell, who is not a member of the collaborative but has attended some of the meetings and completed the survey, said she would like to see independent providers sharing large resources, such an an X-ray machine. Her clinic does not have one, she noted, and her patients must travel off-island to get an X-ray. The situation arises about twice a month, she said, and can be burdensome. At Fulton Family Medicine, Henke said that clinic’s largest need is staff. It has been a difficult year there, she said, as the clinic has routinely been short staffed, and they have found it difficult to find people who want to work on Vashon. A clinic may have 5,000
patient charts, but if there is not enough staff to treat them, some people will not have access to timely care, she added. “I think the crisis is personnel,” she said. Gornall and Jenkel say they are well aware of staffing concerns on Vashon, and have heard about it from many quarters, including real estate agents. “The fact is you have people moving off the island because they cannot get the care they want, and some people do not want to move here because the lack of services,” Gornall said. But before the collaborative would try to bring new providers in, they say they believe they need to fix the system and alleviate some of the challenges of practicing here. In the coming weeks, with the survey information in hand, group members will look closely at the financial component of what they are attempting to do. Providers would pay to take part in any new program, but it would likely require a community contribution as well. They will also continue talking with health care providers and meet with political officials at the county, state and federal levels. They would like to have a business model in place by the end of January, Gornall said, and come to the community with more information by the end of February. “Every day that goes by, the needs get greater,” he added. The men noted that they are not conferring with providers at the Franciscanowned health center because that clinic is part of a large entity and gets support from it. Their focus is the independent providers, a group that is becoming increasingly rare as consolidation in the health care industry is now the norm. “Does that mean every community should just give up?” Gornall asked. “We are going upstream against a trend. If not here, where?”

pitbull who is carefree, full of life and will make a loyal and affectionate companion. She loves people, gets along great with other dogs and will be happiest with someone who will take her places and give her lots of exercise. Sisi is currently being trained to help her walk on a leash and follow basic commands. Sisi is spayed, up to date on shots, micro-chipped and ready to become a beloved member of your family. For more information on Sisi, call Toni at 206-567-4920.
This wee Westie lad named RILEY is a sweet, playful 8 year old male. He is verra affectionate, loves to cuddle on the couch and loves riding in the car. True to his breed, he is alert, friendly, curious, and insanely cute with dark piercing eyes. He loves people; is good with kids, cats and other dogs. He is comfortable in a crate, though, (as he would like you to know) prefers the bed. Bonus: his breed is considered hypo-allergenic. Some special considerations a new owner needs to know: Riley is hard of hearing, but not totally deaf. His ongoing medical issues are infections in his ears and he came to us with a terrible skin condition.
