After 18 years, Wolftown animal sanctuary closes its doors By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
After struggling for years to maintain its wildlife sanctuary on Vashon, Wolftown has quietly closed its doors. While there was no formal announcement, Wolftown director T Yamamoto confirmed in a short email to The Beachcomber last week that Wolftown has closed. She and her husband Pete, who helped run the nonprofit, have moved off the island. A few older wolves that were living at Wolftown were placed at Wolf Haven, a wolf sanctuary in Tenino, Washington. “That is all I am going to say,” Yamamoto said in the email. Yamamoto founded Wolftown as a non-

profit in 1997, though she worked with animals before that. During its peak, the USDA-permitted sanctuary on Wax Orchard Road provided a home for a dozen wolves as well as other rescued animals, such as deer, fox and birds of prey, and provided emergency care for wild animals. Wolftown also did education, gave tours of its facility and offered an internship program. But running the facility was expensive, and though Yamamoto did not mention finances in her recent email, she talked with The Beachcomber on several occasions over the years about her and Pete’s struggles to keep Wolftown open. “People only seem to support the project when they want entertainment or have an emergency,” Yamamoto told the paper in 2013. She said donations had been down since the recession hit, forcing the pair to make cuts, even as they supplemented the program by selling grass-fed lamb at Minglement and the Farmers Market and

Montana to help it establish a horse program. Some young people from the tribe interned at Wolftown. “The core of her philosophy or moral concern was to do right in the world, not just with people, but with all beings,” Holtz said. “She helped everybody, from troubled youth to very sophisticated adults who were taking a religious path or a philosophical path very seriously.” At Wolf Haven, Executive Director Diane Gallegos said the sanctuary took in three older wolves from Wolftown, though one has since died. She said Wolftown’s closure did not leave a hole in local wolf rescue efforts, as the organization had not taken new wolves in recent years, but wolf rescue is a constant challenge. While Wolf Haven doesn’t receive many calls about purebred wolves in need of rescue, she said, there is a huge need to house wolfdogs, or wolf-dog hybrids. “It’s a huge problem,” she said. “There aren’t enough facilities to take them in.”
offering brush clearing with their flock of sheep and goats. After the recession, the Yamamotos both had to work more outside the sanctuary, leaving them unable to offer tours there, and they shrank their internship program as well. In 2013, Wolftown announced it could no longer rescue marine and land mammals, focusing its efforts on rehabilitating wolves and birds of prey. Rayna Holtz, a friend of Yamamoto who kept records of Wolftown’s activities, said the nonprofit not only provided safe haven to many animals over the years, but provided lessons about wildlife to the countless people, including children and at-risk youth who volunteered, interned or visited there. During the 1990s, Yamamoto also authored several books about her experiences with wildlife that were published by NewSage Press. Holtz said she also worked with the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in

Eric Gill, architect who worked for school district, dies at 62 By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
Eric Charles Gill, a local architect and capital facilities director at the Vashon School District, died on Tuesday, Jan. 20, after a battle with cancer. Gill, 62, was well known on Vashon for his position with the schools, where he worked for a dozen years and was instrumental in the construction of the new Vashon High School building. He also owned an architecture company with his wife, was involved in the local rowing club and in his free time could often be found cooking, sailing or snapping photos of his family’s activities. “He had a really wonderful life,” said his wife, Kim Goforth. “He loved this community. He loved living here.” Those who knew Gill describe him as a quiet but cheerful man who cared for his family and in his professional life was skilled at planning down to the detail and
at finding resolutions when needed. “He was a great listener and had an ability to weave the concerns and input of others into solutions that were cost effective and responsive,” said Superintendent Michael Soltman. “And Eric was our close colleague, our friend and partner. We are so saddened by his death and will miss him immensely.” Gill was born on June 22, 1952, in Eureka, California. He moved to Seattle to study architecture at the University of Washington, where he met Goforth, and the two married in 1990. Gill started his career as an architect at Cardwell Thomas & Associates in Seattle, and his early projects included a new library in Steilacoom and the renovation of one of the oldest buildings on the Washington State University campus in Pullman. Gill and Goforth moved to Vashon in 2001 with their two young sons. After a

Eric Gill short time commuting off-island, the position at the school district opened up, rather serendipitously, Goforth said. He started at the schools as the couple designed and built their home on a forested parcel with a view of Mount Rainier. “He was really proud of the house,” Goforth said. Working for the district on a contract basis, Gill was responsible for planning and coordinating capital projects and building improvements at Vashon’s three public schools. For the last 10 years, he played a key role in the planning for and construction of the new high school building. Soltman said Gill was integral on the project, calling him engaging and friendly, while at the same time assertive and demanding when it came to representing the school district’s interests. “His personal and professional investment in the outcome of our project is largely the reason that we experienced few problems and obtained an amazing result,” he said. Goforth said Gill was passionate about

successfully completing the high school, which he considered both a school and a community gathering place, and was pleased with the final product. The building opened a year ago. “It was a huge part of his life, getting the high school built. … He felt so good about it, despite the challenges,” Goforth said. In his personal life, Gill loved to be on the water and was an experienced sailor. He rebuilt a sailboat in high school, and as an adult frequently sailed around the Puget Sound and beyond with his family. He also rowed with the Vashon Island Rowing Club, though work and illness took him away from the water in recent years. His sons Thane and Tate, who graduated from Vashon High School in 2011 and 2014, rowed with the club as well, as does Goforth. Jeff Hoyt, another masters rower and friend of Gill, described him as a “kind, cheerful and positive teammate who carried himself with a sort of quiet dignity.” Family members, too, said that while Gill was known for his calm personality, he was enthusiastic when it mattered. Tate noted that sometimes when he complained, Gill would challenge him to say at least one positive thing. “He was very positive,” said his sister Paula Gill. “He always saw the good in people and the good opportunity in any situation.” Gill is survived by his wife, Kim Goforth, sons Thane and Tate Gill, as well as his sisters, Paula Gill of Bremerton and Karen Swope of Columbia, Missouri. Gill’s family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in his memory to the Vashon Schools Foundation. A service for Gill will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, at Vashon High School. Goforth said she hopes the event isn’t a somber one, but a celebration of Gill’s life. People are invited to bring refreshments. “I hope that there’s laughter,” she said. “That’s what he would have wanted.”

After challenges, new day care Volunteers survey island’s homeless, center quickly receives license look to next year’s count By SARAH LOW Staff Writer
Vashon Children’s Center to open next month By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Parents of young children will soon have a new option for day care, when the Vashon Children’s Center opens early next month. The center, which will provide care for infants and children from 6 weeks old through preschool age, is expected to receive its license this week and will open on Feb. 9, according to owner Amanda Lawson. The center, with hours from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., will serve eight infants, five toddlers and seven preschool students. Priority will be given to families seeking full-time and committed part-time care, and drop-in options will be available if there is space remaining. After a successful licensing visit by the state’s Department of Early Learning (DEL) last week, program director Sandy Gilliam said they are working to create a childcare facility where the children’s needs — physical, emotional and intellectual — are met. “It will be an enriched environment where children grow and learn and discover who they are,” she said. Currently, Gilliam and Lawson are hiring staff for the program. Jan Lofland has signed on as the lead infant teacher, and Mo Brulé will be the lead teacher in the preschool room. High school student Isabelle Porter, who has been nannying for Lawson, will provide part-time assistance, and other staff are being added as well. “That is our biggest focus. We need to hire, train and build the team,” Gilliam said last week. The licensing process was an onerous one, the women have said. Just a few weeks ago, they stated that they believed the state had raised many issues without cause, including the adequacy of the building’s septic system and the location of a staff bathroom. They were concerned that
they might be facing a long struggle to get licensed or that the state might not allow them to offer care for all the ages that they wanted to serve. Instead, the three-hour visit from three DEL officials last week went smoothly, with only minor changes requested, such as posting additional information, revising the handbook and moving a gate, Lawson said. Once the center is open, two staff members plus a floating assistant will care for the eight babies in the infant room, and there will be one teacher for children ages 1 year to 30 months and another teacher for the children ages 31 months up to kindergarten age. Lawson will not teach, she said, but will focus on administrative tasks and cooking breakfast, lunch and snacks for the children. Costs will vary by age group and range from $1,800 a month for full-time infant care — nearly 12 hours a day, five days a week — to $600 a month for two days a week of care for preschoolers. Drop-in rates will vary from $8 to $10 an hour. Lawson added that the cost of full-time care may sound high, especially for those who have not looked into full-time infant care before, but she has tried to keep costs within reach for working families. Indeed, the advocacy group Puget Sound Sage recently indicated that in King County, parents pay an average of $1,440 a month for full-time care for an infant at a day care center. While there are several preschools on the island, there have been few day care centers for several years, and only one that takes even a small number of infants. Originally, Lawson said that the center would serve four infants at a time, but that changed in the licensing process, and she says there is plenty of interest in the eight infant slots available. The center will host an open house and registration from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31. The center is located at the VYFS Playspace off Vashon Highway on Gorsuch Road. For more information, see its Facebook page or its website at vashonchildrenscenter.com.
Volunteers who participated in the One Night Count last week counted 10 homeless people on Vashon and are already looking to improve counting methods for next year’s survey. The results of the One Night Count, an annual homeless count in King County that Vashon participated in for the first time, were announced on Friday. Countywide, volunteers counted 3,772 adults and children that had no shelter the night of Jan. 22 to 23 in Seattle and other communities in King County. This was a 21 percent increase over last year, according to Alison Eisinger, executive director of the Seattle/ King County Coalition on Homelessness, which runs the event. Eden Bossom, an islander who works for the King County Housing Authority and coordinated the Vashon count, said they are aware that there are more homeless on Vashon than the 10 people counted. “Our service people know of at least double that,” she said. “But the methodology was a factor. That’s why it was important to see how it worked in a rural community to move forward.” Bossom, who has participated in the count seven times, added that running the survey on Vashon as
compared to urban areas was like “sticking a square peg into a round hole.” “We didn’t go onto private property; we didn’t go to the woods. We stuck with the methodology for the urban areas, checking vehicles, doorways, benches, outside public areas,” she said. “So the challenge for the future will be how to tailor the method to get a more accurate count in the rural communities.” Of the 10 people counted in and around Vashon town, eight were sleeping in vehicles, one was walking the streets and one was sleeping outside. The data for the overnight count does not include the thousands of people staying in shelters or transitional housing, numbers that will be available soon. Bossom, who led a team of five island volunteers,
said she suspects that next year’s count on Vashon will look much different than this one and that is when the value will be evident. As for Count Us In, the survey of homeless and unstably housed youth offered at the Vashon Library last Thursday, Vashon submitted four surveys to the county. Ursula Schwaiger, the library’s children’s section supervisor, said that of the eight people ages 12 to 25 who filled out surveys, one was unstably housed and three stated that there has been a time when they did not know where they were going to sleep at night. “We’ll definitely plan to be a part of this again next year,” Schwaiger said. “I thought it was worthwhile. Maybe the word will get out more.” Special for Jan. 28st Jan. 31st

Hello, my name is Jessica Haug, LMP
Do you ever wonder why your rear end hurts? It could be from sitting too long or too many squats (hopefully the latter.) There is a muscle deep in our posterier (both cheeks) under the Gluteals called the Piriformis. This trouble maker is responsible for what is called ‘Piriformis Sydrome.’ The sciatic nerve runs through or next to the muscle and depending on the degree of the muscle spasm, it can have you walking like Igor’s bestie, or just poking yourself in the posterier while waiting in line at the grocery store. Gentle movement, physical therapy, prescribed exercises, massage, acupuncture, osteopathy, and ice are all excellent forms of treatment. Each treatment can affect each person differently-be open to whatever works for YOUR BODY.

When real life feels like a cheesy movie plot
EDITORIAL
Ferries: No cuts a welcome start, but we still need a fix Living on Vashon, islanders understand the importance of ferries that are frequent and reliable. Ferry service doesn’t just allow us to come and go. It brings goods here, lets us commute to jobs and attracts tourists and new residents to support our local economy. As lawmakers work to craft the state’s next two-year budget, it’s the time of year when ferry service is often threatened on Vashon and beyond. The state ferry system is on an unsustainable path, and in recent years reductions to Vashon’s routes have been frequently proposed as a way to keep the ferries afloat. But we know fewer ferry trips or higher fares would translate into longer lines, longer commutes and higher prices when shopping on the island. Service cuts have been opposed by the public and ultimately avoided each time by lawmakers, sometimes in 11th-hour negotiations. This has happened so often, in fact, that those following ferry issues had begun to say the state is crying wolf, and some of us began to take proposed cuts less seriously. In a welcome turn of events, there were no ferry cuts or fare hikes proposed as part of Gov. Jay Inslee’s transportation budget, something former Gov. Christine Gregoire slipped in on several occasions. This doesn’t mean cuts won’t be on the table this year — lawmakers could still put them forward — but it’s looking more likely that we’ll have the same service levels and frozen fares through 2017. But don’t breathe easy yet. The ferry system, faced with the loss of the Motor Vehicle Excise tax several years ago, won’t be in the clear until it finds new revenue, something that has so far been impossible to accomplish with a divided Legislature. If it were up to Inslee, he would at least tide the ferries over again with a new tax on carbon emissions, taxing the polluters. Those who oppose him say such a tax would in reality hit drivers the hardest. Considering that Inslee himself called our state’s tax structure the worst in the nation, it seems this tax deserves some more study and that something like a capital gains tax, which he also proposed, could be more equitable. Faced this session with raising as much as $2 billion for education, it’s hard to imagine lawmakers will agree on new revenue for transportation as well. At the very least, they should recognize the rationale behind Inslee’s proposal to maintain the ferries and fund them fully for the next two years. Perhaps after that, when the new ferries director has had a chance to carry out reforms and when education isn’t on the front burner, they’ll craft a longterm transportation package with sensible tax reforms.
When The Beachcomber asked me if I’d write a “football-related column,” I jumped on it immediately, because as it happens, I recently landed a role in an actual football movie. What a coincidence, right? Sure, I’m just an extra, and there’s a cast of millions, but it’s a great gig and a cool story. I’m almost embarrassed to describe the plot. It’s pretty unbelievable. The script uses every cheesy, cliché device you can imagine. I’m sure the poster will offer up some schmaltzy drivel like “You’ll stand and cheer!” As you’d expect, there are all the predictable characters you’d find in a sports movie like this: the rahrah-always-positive head coach; the clean-cut, good guy quarterback; the mysterious, misunderstood running back; the hometown-boymakes-good wide receiver. Of course, the team struggles at first but rallies in the second half of the season after the team leaders implore their mates to pull together and play for each other. (I’ve seen it a million times, but I guess it works.) Naturally, they make the playoffs, but fall impossibly behind in the big game they need to win to get to the Super Bowl. (You’re hearing the ominous soundtrack start to build, aren’t you?) The star quarterback throws interception after interception, and always toward the hometown boy, who inexplicably lets numerous balls clank off his hands and into
SPORTS By JEFF HOYT those of the opponent. To make matters worse, the intense, steely-eyed leader of the defense separates his shoulder. Then the brash, cocky star cornerback loses the use of an arm for the rest of the game, but of course they both play on. (Big surprise there, huh?) In the end, every play that absolutely must go their way does. They win the game when the redemption-seeking quarterback connects with the beleaguered hometown boy for the winning touchdown. The two of them hug and cry in the end zone, screaming “I love you, man” into the din of a roaring stadium. (Didn’t see that coming, did you? Yeah, right.) I know it’s sappy as hell, but the shoot’s been going well, everyone on the set seems to be enjoying themselves, and I have to say the craft table buffet at halftime on game day is pretty awesome. Look for me in the credits. I’ll be “12th Man #3,245,759.” I have a pretty big job for an extra.

Skate park
Kids should wear protective gear The new skate bowl at the Burton Adventure Recreation Center, overseen by the Vashon Park District, certainly will provide lots of fun and exercise for many kids (“Bowl of fun,” Jan. 21). The front-page picture in The Beachcomber of a 24-year-old boarder showed him without a helmet, while young, 8-year-old Evan Kruse watched wearing his helmet. Kids must follow 8-year-old Evan and wear protective gear when skateboarding. I hope the park district will have rules for the use of helmets and other protective gear when using the new skate park. It is well documented that the most common injury sustained on a bike or a skateboard is a head injury. The American Academy of Pediatrics reports that each
year in the United States, skateboard injuries cause about 50,000 visits to emergency departments with 1,500 children and adolescents hospitalized, mostly for head injuries (source: AAP, March 2002.) A study in the New England Journal of Medicine done at Harborview Medical Center and Group Health showed that helmets for young bicyclists reduce the risk of head injury by 85 percent and severe brain injury by 88 percent. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that every skateboarder should wear standard safety gear. This includes a helmet, wrist guards, elbow and knee pads and appropriate shoes. The evidence is quite clear. Helmets prevent severe disability and death. They should be worn. The dark humor of emergency room personnel: “Question: What do you call a biker or skateboarder without a helmet? Answer: an organ donor.”

story about any player on the team, even if it’s already been written from a dozen different angles. If you look carefully, you’ll find me poring over highlight videos, listening to AM sports talk radio, exchanging random high-fives with complete strangers dressed in team garb, screaming myself hoarse during games and then standing in the corner at parties with small groups of like-minded fans, recalling obscure, hasn’thappened-since-1948 statistics. (It’s hard work but hey — I’m a method actor.) The final weekend of shooting happens on location in Arizona this Sunday. I’ll be back here, capturing B roll with the other extras. Then it’s off to post-production and theatrical release. Who knows what kind of box office this movie will do, but I’ll bet it plays on cable for the rest of our lives. Gotta love those residuals! To all the non-fans, spouses and significant others who have been sidelined while all of us extras finish up our work on this preposterous movie, thank you for your sacrifice. No matter the outcome Sunday, you’ll have us all back on Monday. Oh wait. There may be a crazy cast party in downtown Seattle on Wednesday. Okay, you’ll have us back Thursday.

More than 50 years later, Martin Luther King’s dream is still just a dream Editor’s Note: This column previously appeared in one of The Beachcomber’s sister papers, The Redmond Reporter. Earlier this week, I was standing at the front of the line for the checkout counter at a Redmond-area bookstore. There was one man standing behind me, but a few moments later, an Asian woman stepped in line behind him. The woman began calling to her young daughter — probably in preschool or kindergarten — in what I thought was a Chinese language. The man standing between us “ching-chonged” her, imitating her under his breath. I’m not sure if the other woman heard him or what her reaction to the man’s mutterings was, but when I heard his gibberish, I just froze. I’d like to say I turned around and gave him a piece of my mind, but unfortunately I was just reeling from the shock of hearing something so blatantly racist — something I hadn’t experienced since elementary school. I’m not usually so easily offended, but when the man bumped into my purse, I had this visceral reaction to pull my purse in front of me, away from the man. It wasn’t because I was worried about him snatching my purse or pickpocketing me; it was because the contact made me feel dirty. I just wanted to get as far away from this man as possible. As disturbing as the incident was on its own, the fact that it occurred on Jan. 19 — Martin Luther King Jr. Day — made things that much worse. Here was this holiday, celebrated to honor one of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement who worked to end racism and dedicated his life to achieving equal rights for all, and here I was standing in close proximity of someone who had no qualms about mocking someone because they were different. It was King’s dream for his children to “live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
RACE IN AMERICA By SAMANTHA PAK Sadly, recent events in this country and around the world, as well as my experience from this week, have proved that King’s dream is still just that: a dream. As much progress as we have made, we have not made enough. Our president may be black, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t faced discrimination and prejudice as a result of his race. What other president has had their birthplace and religion questioned as much as Barack Obama has — or has had them questioned at all? News flash: Island life on Hawaii may be a whole other world, but it is still part of the United States. I cannot accept some people’s claim that we live in a post-racial society. In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo shooting, people have been holding the entire Muslim community — all 1.6 billion of them worldwide — responsible for the actions of just a handful of individuals. But where was this call for accountability for the Catholic community to accept responsibility when story after story broke about priests and other members of the church molesting children? You cannot tell me we are all equal when a black woman has to warn her children that their mistakes can have more serious (and sometimes lethal) consequences than their non-black peers’ mistakes and then tell me it’s not a matter of fairness — it just is. A Mexican-American high schooler once told me she has been met with surprise for enrolling in an advanced

class — or for even just showing up to class. Do not tell me she is not being judged for being born brown. And if I get annoyed when someone walks up to me and asks — without so much as saying “hello” — where I am from, do not tell me to get over it. How would you feel if someone just looks at you and basically tells you that you could not possibly belong here? Here, in the community in which you were born, went to school, grew up and now work? Where in any of these scenarios are we being judged by our character? The sad truth is we’re not. And just as the saying about how long it took to build Rome goes, it’s apparently going to take more than 50 years for King’s dream to come true.

Q:
I’m getting nervous about the rising tides around our place. Our bulkhead is only about four feet high and can’t be made taller. During normal high tides the water washes over it and comes close to our lower floor door. The “king tides” they are talking about come up even higher and can do some real damage. I’ve read a little about the climate change issues and see that the water level in Puget Sound is predicted to rise significantly in the next couple of decades. We had hoped to leave this place to our kids but now I’m not so sure it will be there for them. If we try to sell it will anyone want to buy a low bank cabin like ours?

A:
First let me say that there is a buyer for everything if the price is right. Particularly for those looking for a seasonal getaway, low bank cottages and cabins are still in demand. However, there are many issues with these places, and I must admit, I am less and less enthusiastic about them. First, as you mention, during very high tides and storm events water comes up over the bulkheads and often, into the house or under the crawl space to create a perfect environment for mold, wood destroying pests, and rot. In addition, there are often septic problems because there may be no drainfield or very little drainfield. If there is a complete failure of the system, it will be incredibly expensive to find a solution. As you know, the King County Marine Recovery Act now requires the monitoring of some of these low bank drainfields. It can also be a bit scary to look at the landslide hazard maps of the state and County and realize many of these cabins are in major landslide areas. It can feel like the question is not if, but when the hillside will come roaring down on top of you. The question of selling is up to you, of course, but I believe the “better safe than sorry” idea is a good one.

High school play pokes fun at British murder mystery A small ensemble of Vashon High School theater students will bring the humor of playwright Tom Stoppard’s “The Real Inspector Hound” to the VHS stage for four performances over two weekends. The play is a spoof of a British murder mystery, specifically Agatha Christie’s classic whoduunit “The Mousetrap.” The title of Stoppard’s play refers directly to the ending of Christie’s play with its secret twist ending. The story begins with a dead body, of course, in the drawing room of an isolated country estate. A stranger appears, followed by police inspector Hound to solve the case. It’s all very mysterious, especially since no one has yet discovered the body. According to director Stephen Floyd, there’s a second layer to this “delightful serving of theatrical cake.” Two very British theater critics are watching the drama unfold and commenting on the performance of the players. Through a series of complications, the critics are drawn out of their seats in the audience and into this play within the play. “Throw in a love triangle or two, a crazy card game called pontoon bridge, a couple of gunshots, five doors and a generous helping of ridiculous comedy, and it all adds up to a farcical murder mystery,” Floyd said. Written shortly after Stoppard’s 1966
hit “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,” the playwright’s signature wit permeates the play. Stoppard has won numerous awards in England for his plays, four Tony Awards for Best Play and an Oscar for his screenplay “Shakespeare in Love.” “The Real Inspector Hound” runs about 70 minutes long and will be performed without an intermission. Representatives from the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes will appear both on stage and behind the scene, working as stage hands and technicians for the show. Floyd added that the play is clever, ingenious and full of surprises, while also presenting some good challenges to the small cast of eight student actors plus two important cameo roles. “The characters speak in a variety of English accents,” Floyd said, “and for many of the actors, this is their first attempt at speaking British dialects. Much of the dialogue is written in complex sentences that are difficult to learn and to speak intelligibly. The blending of two different performance styles, farce and mystery, is a formidable task. I am proud of what the students have learned and accomplished in working on this play. We are eager to share this delightfully entertaining show with the island audience.” — Juli Goetz Morser

He also gained support and encouragement from two music industry legends, Tom Dowd and John Hammond Sr. Apoe and his band have released six CDs, with “Funny World” being the most recent. In 2011, he produced a Pacific Northwest tribute to Ron Davies called “The Mystery of Ron Davies.” Apoe is currently writing with Saar Liven, an Israeli singer and songwriter who appears on “Funny World.” The show is free and open to all ages until 11 p.m., then 21 and older only.

gallery and have transplanted some of that here, while also expanding and selecting items that would appeal on Vashon. Asked to point to their favorite pieces in the shop, Holly showed antique architectural lithographs from France, and Brent chose a collection of coffee table books printed by the German publisher Taschen. “I am really excited to have those in the shop,� he said. They also carry prints and T-shirts from the island’s Cowbelle Industries and hope to feature work from other islanders. “We’ve been making local connections, which we’re interested in continuing as the island gets to know us,� Brent said. In the back, a small gallery space will feature work by rotating artists. The first show is of work Brent has done since moving to Vashon, oil paintings that show a lot of water and sky. He professes to be in love with the island, calling it easy on the eyes. “In Chicago, you could see only two or three blocks. Here you can see as far as the eye can see,� he said.

Standing at a large wooden counter with samples of frames behind them, Holly and Brent said they know Vashon has a frame shop already, but noted that it has multiple banks and grocery stores. They also said they know that this time of year can be quiet for Vashon businesses, but that is OK with them. “Sure, it’s (almost) February, but what else is going on?� Holly asked. “It kind of just happened this way, but we’re happy about it.� This shop is a melding of their talents, Holly said, as she has a master’s degree in arts management. She is also working parttime for Vashon Allied Arts, managing their Artists in the Schools program. So far, they said, Vashon is proving to be a good home. Brent grew up in a town of 350 in Arkansas and is pleased to return to a more rural way of life. Holly grew up on Bainbridge Island and is glad to be back as well. “We’re here to stay,� Brent said.

If you enjoy history as much as I do you know that we are indebted to those who gave of their time and talent to record events of the era. For this week’s article I would like to pay tribute to Oliver Scott Van Olinda one of Vashon’s earliest and most prolific historians. Oliver’s line of Van Olindas emigrated from Holland to New York and gradually moved west. Oliver himself was born in 1868 and was raised in the flatlands of the Midwest. Following his restless father he arrived on Vashon in 1891. Stepping off a small steamer he promptly walked from Langill Landing on the west side of the island to Center. His first encounter with 19th century Vashon was a bit unsettling however. The small trail he followed was surrounded by 300-foot trees and dense ferns. As he plodded along darkness began to fall. Van Olinda would later write, “...the beauty of the scene was overshadowed by the thought that such an environment simply must harbor hordes of bears and catamounts.� (Yes, I didn’t know what it was either but a catamount is a mountain lion.) So far Oliver and I have two things in common, love of history and fear of being eaten. Fortunately for us he overcame his angst and remained on the island for many years before his death in 1954. Soon after arriving Oliver and his father published the first monthly magazine on Vashon, aptly named “The Island Home.� The year was 1892. Three years later he and a partner, A. Linton Gilmore, established the first weekly newspaper, “Vashon Island Press.� While not a classically trained historian, Oliver’s newspaper experience gave him the skills to sort fact from fiction while weaving together an interesting story. And oh did he weave. During his life he photographed and documented everything around him from banal events to major occasions. Much of his work now resides in the the collections of area museums. Probably the record keeping most appreciated by subsequent generations lists the names and service branch for every islander who served in the World Wars. It comes as no surprise that he had one other first, the first published history of Vashon and Maury islands. It spanned the years from 1891 to 1935. As time passed he wanted to update his seminal book but it was not to be as age and a traumatic automobile accident took their toll. So the next time you are traveling down his namesake road give a tip of your hat to this tireless scribe who left us such a rich and enduring story.

Dave Rogers, a longtime islander, active volunteer and advocate for seniors, was seriously injured after a fall from his roof in early January. Now the local senior community is rallying to help their champion. “He’s a strong man. He’s getting better, but it will still be several weeks for him to recover,� said Ava Apple, director of the Vashon Senior Center. Rogers is a member of the Seattle King County Advisory Council on Aging and Disability and a frequent visitor to Olympia to advocate for funding for senior services and pro-
grams. He was trying to adjust a tarp he had recently put on his roof to cover a leak when a strong gust of wind knocked him off, sending him flat on his back onto a set of stairs below. Having sustained several broken ribs and vertebrae, Rogers is now recuperating in the skilled nursing wing of Vashon Community Care. Rogers has also been a defensive driving instructor for seniors on the island and a runway escort at the senior center’s annual Tea and Fashion show. Another well-known island senior,
George Eustice, along with the senior center, has set up an account at U.S. Bank to collect donations to repair Rogers’ roof before he goes home. The goal is to raise $2,000, the estimated cost of the materials, and labor will be donated through Neighbor to Neighbor. “He’s done a lot for this community,� Apple said. “We’re hoping now that the community will come through for him.� Donations to help repair Rogers’ roof can be made at U.S. Bank. — Sarah Low
Historic preservation expert to speak about Mukai fruit barreling plant Michael Sullivan, a historic preservation expert with Artifacts Consulting, Inc., will speak about restoring historic structures and what might be done at the Mukai fruit barreling plant at a presentation tomorrow. The Friends of Mukai plan to hire Artifacts Consulting to prepare a historic structures report on the barrelling plant, which is owned by islander Frank Zellerhoff Jr. The document would describe the known history of the site, its current condition and what work would be needed to restore it. Artifacts Consulting recently prepared a similar report for the Panama Hotel in down-
town Seattle . The Friends group applied for an $8,000 grant from 4Culture that would cover half the cost of the report. Artifacts Consulting has committed to donating the other half. “4Culture and everyone would like to have a better understanding of what might need to be done ... to move ahead on a preservation path there,� Sullivan said. The Friends of Mukai hope to purchase or take control of the barrelling plant in the next year, though both parties have declined to comment about what has been discussed. Kelly
Robinson, a Friends of Mukai board member, said the group hopes the report will help them quickly prioritize work should they secure the site. Zellerhoff said he had not yet given anyone permission to come on the property for the study, though he may be open to it. Robinson said Zellerhoff knows of the study, and the group planned to discuss access after it garnered the 4Culture grant. Sullivan will speak at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Land Trust Building.

Championship victory boosted by undrafted players By JOHN BOYLE Sound Publishing
When quarterback Russell Wilson threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jermaine Kearse in overtime of Sunday’s NFC championship game, that play didn’t just send the Seattle Seahawks back to the Super Bowl, it instantly became one of the most significant plays in franchise history. Yet that big play wouldn’t have been possible had Wilson not connected with wide receiver Doug Baldwin for 35 yards on third-and-seven one play earlier to extend the drive. Come up short there, and the Seahawks have to punt to Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers and his offense needing only a field goal to win the game. Then again, that overtime drive never happens if backup wide receiver Chris Matthews doesn’t recover an onside kick late in the fourth quarter to set up Seattle’s go-ahead touchdown. And there’s a very good chance that dramatic comeback wouldn’t have been possible had backup offensive tackle Garry Gilliam not caught a touchdown pass from punter Jon Ryan on a fake field goal early in the third quarter. So many big plays had to happen for the Seahawks to come back from a 16-point deficit against the Green Bay Packers. And while those plays were all very different in terms of what happened and who was involved, the four huge plays highlighted above all had one thing in common. On some of the most meaningful plays in one of the biggest wins in franchise history, at least one undrafted player was prominently involved. There are plenty of impressive things that head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider have done to turn the Seahawks into a championship-winning franchise. But one of the most impressive is their ability to find, then develop, talent that other teams deemed unworthy. It’s routine for the Seahawks to get big contributions

Baldwin and Kearse, Seattle’s starting receivers this season, were passed over through seven rounds by all 32 teams in 2011 (Baldwin) and 2012 (Kearse). Carroll doesn’t even think about how unusual it is unless somebody else brings it up. “That’s kind of how it’s just been,” Carroll said. “We’re
kind of numb to that right now, but it’s the facts. That’s why we talk about the work that John and his guys have done. It’s illustrated so many times with so many great examples of finding guys and getting them into the STORY CONTINUES, NEXT PAGE

system, and then they play winning football for us.” Sure Wilson was a third-round pick, despite a decorated college career, because of his size. But compared to many of his teammates who stepped up Sunday afternoon, Wilson was a hot commodity on draft weekend. Before Gilliam could catch a touchdown pass that helped spark one of the greatest rallies in Seattle sports history, he went undrafted out of Penn State. Then had to fight for a roster spot in training camp as a rookie last summer. And before Matthews could recover the onside kick Sunday, he had to hone his craft in the Canadian Football League for two seasons after going undrafted in 2011 and briefly spending time with the Cleveland Browns. Matthews, who wasn’t even added to Seattle’s active roster until Dec. 6 — he spent most of the season on and off the practice squad — has never caught a pass in an NFL game. But he made a role for himself on special teams and ended up catching a bouncing ball that helped prolong the season. (We’re leaving Ryan, who threw the touchdown to Gilliam, out of the discussion because almost all teams find their punters outside of the draft. Well except for teams that decide to take a punter in the third round, five picks before Wilson. ... Sorry, Jacksonville Jaguars fans). Kearse was so excited for his fellow undrafted receiver that on Monday he cut off a question to say, “Can I talk about the Chris Matthews play? That was huge.” “I talk to Chris a lot. And just to see his progression, even when he was on the practice squad. And when he got elevated to the 53 (active roster), just to see him maximize his opportunities is definitely

Seahawks offensive tackle Gary Gilliam makes his first career reception and touchdown to put the Hawks on the scoreboard in the NFC Championship game against Green Bay. joyful because I talk to him a lot. And for him to make a humongous play like that — that may be the play of the game right there. For him to get the onside and have a heads up play like that was truly incredible. “It’s what Pete instills with his philosophy and this organization of just compet-
ing,” Kearse said. “He gives everyone an equal opportunity to compete and I feel like that brings the best out of players.” It’s hardly unique for a football coach to preach competition, to tell veterans that no job is safe. But few teams, if any, are as committed to that philosophy as the Seahawks.
Year in and year out, undrafted players beat out those picked ahead of them for roster spots. Whether it was safety Jeron Johnson beating out fifth-round pick Mark Legree in 2011. Or Alvin Bailey, who started Sunday’s game at right tackle, winning a roster spot last year ahead of seventh-round pick Ryan Seymour. Or fourth-round picks like defensive end E.J. Wilson and wide receiver Chris Harper not being able to out-play undrafted players at their positions. As odd as it sounds, the Seahawks in a way are proud about the picks that don’t work out. Because it shows their willingness to give everyone an equal shot at playing time. Before the draft, the Seahawks send player agents a 12-page document that is essentially a recruiting brochure for undrafted rookies, detailing how the Seahawks have cut more draft picks under Carroll and Schneider than all but one team in the league. “History has shown that the Seahawks keep and develop the undrafted free agents they sign, even at the expense of draft choices,” the document concludes. “The Seahawks are more likely than most teams to give your undrafted free agent play time in the preseason, giving your client the best opportunity to make the Seahawks or other team’s roster.” For five seasons, we’ve seen how Schneider’s knack for finding hidden gems and Carroll’s openness to competition have helped turn the Seahawks into contenders. And on Sunday, in four very huge plays, undrafted players played pivotal roles in sending the Seahawks back to the Super Bowl. John Boyle is a sports writer for The Daily Herald in Everett.

With Wilson, it’s the next play that matters By JOHN BOYLE Sound Publishing
Late in what to that point had been one of the worst games of his career, Russell Wilson called his shot. Heading into overtime, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback had thrown a career-high four interceptions and completed fewer than half of his pass attempts. Yet he still felt compelled to tell offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell not just that he was going to lead the Seahawks to victory in the NFC championship game, he outlined how it would happen. “I told Bevell on the sideline right when we won the coin toss, ‘I’m going to hit (Jermaine) Kearse for a touchdown on a check’” Wilson said. “And sure enough, we did.” Up until that throw, four of the five passes thrown to Kearse had resulted in interceptions — the other went incomplete — with two of them going directly off the receiver’s hands to a Packers defender. Yet Wilson had faith both in himself and his receiver, and the result was, as Wilson predicted, an audible at the line of scrimmage and a 35-yard touchdown pass to Kearse to win the game. “When you’re down the stretch, you want Russell Wilson, and I think everybody in America knows that,” Seahawks tight end Luke Willson said. “If they didn’t, they know it now. And we’ll throw Canada in there too. He’s got so much poise. He is never affected.”
And let’s not kid ourselves, this was in no way Wilson’s best game or anything close to it. He was, in fact, pretty bad for much of the game and finished 14-for-29 for 209 yards and a passer rating of 44.9. But his resilience down the stretch was a huge difference in the game. When the Seahawks got the ball with 3:52 to play in the fourth quarter, there was no logical reason to think they’d get the two touchdowns they needed to come back to take the lead, let alone one more in overtime. Not with the way Wilson and the offense were playing. But on Seattle’s next three possessions, all of them touchdowns, Wilson was 6-for7 for 134 yards and a touchdown while also rushing three times for 20 yards and a score. He also made magic happen on Seattle’s two-point conversion, buying time with his legs before floating a pass across the field to Willson. On one of the worst days of his career, Wilson flipped the switch in dramatic fashion. “We know he’s a fighter,” left tackle Russell Okung said. “He showed plenty of resolve coming through. He just kept playing, kept playing. He knew we were depending on him and he came through and made that big play in the end. That’s the Russell Wilson we know.” Even on a day Wilson put his defense in some bad spots with early turnovers, those same defensive players had the utmost faith in their quarterback. “When we won the (overtime coin)

Not when he had more interceptions than completed passes, and not when his team needed two touchdowns in the final four minutes of the game. “That’s what’s great about Russ,” Willson said. “Good play, bad play, it’s the next play that matters. He wasn’t frustrated, he wasn’t pressing, he was just being himself, and when we needed him the most, he performed unbelievably. It was spectacular to watch.”
toss, I knew we’d won,” middle linebacker Bobby Wagner said. Added defensive end Michael Bennett: “He’s the best quarterback in the league right now. It’s him, Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck and Tom Brady, those are the top four guys. ... He’s a $150 million quarterback in my view.” For three-plus quarters Wilson was anything but the best quarterback in the league. At halftime, he was 2-for-9 for 12 yards and three interceptions, good for a passer rating of 0.0. He was pretty awful, right up until he became unstoppable. “If I’m going to go down, I’m going to go down swinging,” Wilson said. “The guys were giving me great time to be able to make those throws throughout the game, really, and we were able to capitalize in the second half.” While Wilson was as emotional as he

Hard lessons for the Seahawks on the way back By JOHN BOYLE Sound Publishing
The Seattle Seahawks learned a few hard lessons in the 11 months between winning a Super Bowl and returning to the postseason as the NFC’s top seed for the second straight year. The most important of those lessons might have been this: Until you’ve been a defending champion, you don’t really know how to handle being a defending champion. Throughout the offseason and training camp, Seahawks players and head coach Pete Carroll said over and over again that nothing would change now that they had hoisted the Lombardi Trophy, collected their diamondencrusted rings and become a lot more famous, and in many cases wealthy, than they were at the same time a year earlier. The Super Bowl was last season, they said; we’ve moved onto this year, they insisted. Well it turns out some of that was a little easier said than done. “I think it is a little bit of a different challenge,” quarterback Russell Wilson said. “I don’t think it should be a different challenge, but I think it is a different challenge.” The Seahawks season started off just fine, with Seattle winning its opener against the Green Bay Packers, then bouncing back from a loss in San Diego with a win over Denver, but then things started getting tough for the defending champs. They lost at home to Dallas, a game that was followed by the shocking decision to trade Percy Harvin; then they lost again at St. Louis to fall to 3-3. Suddenly the champs were vulnerable, there was drama in the form of multiple reports of locker room unrest, of Marshawn Lynch butting heads with his coaches, of Russell Wilson not being “black enough” in the eyes of some teammates. There may not have been a full-blown Super Bowl hangover, but the Seahawks at least had a bit of a headache and could use a glass of water. It turned out that in enjoying the amazing season they had last season, the Seahawks might have lost touch with how tough the road was to get there.
Kevin Clark Photo/The Daily Herald
Russell Wilson on the run against the Carolina Panthers. “I hate to keep going back to last year, but we did win the Super Bowl last year, and through that process at the end of the season, when you go through the parade and you get the ceremony and the ring, it makes you forget how difficult it was to get to that point, to reach the mountain top,” receiver Doug Baldwin said. “So I think a lot of that pressure we had at the beginning of the season when we were 3-3, from the media, from ourselves, we kind of let that feed into the negativity and forgot that it wasn’t easy last year.” Or as defensive end Cliff Avril described it: “It was just guys getting out of their own way more so than anything. There’s a lot that comes with being a Super Bowl champ, from making more money off the field to different appearances and things like that. Once guys got that out of their system and got focused, we got back to what makes us us, and that’s what’s been showing up the last few weeks.” To their credit, however, the Seahawks eventually used those tough times as a rallying point rather than a reason to fall apart. And in a now-famous team meeting following

Game Day Cookoff
a Week 11 loss in Kansas City, players cleared the air and were able to get back to being the team they had hoped to be all along. “I think every team is faced with it every year,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said of his team having to rediscover its chemistry. “It’s not just — you’ve got it and you have it from now on. You have to get connected to reach in to bring out your best, and those around you really help draw that. There’s greater power in a group, and as you stand alone, you can only go so far, but when you mix and you interact and create the inspiration for other people — it’s all of that; that’s where the great power comes from.” That’s not a new lesson for the Seahawks; it’s what Carroll has been preaching from day one since he came to Seattle. But knowing it and living it aren’t always the same, even when it comes from an NBA legend like Bill Russell, who addressed the team earlier this year. “He spoke very carefully about team and the important aspects of understanding how to play at your best and he talked about loving your teammates,” Carroll said. “It couldn’t be more true. We heard it, we knew what the message was, we just hadn’t connected with it yet, and playing for one another is more powerful than we ever knew.” The Seahawks eventually came together — and let’s not forget, they also got healthier — which is why they enjoyed a bye on their way into the playoffs. Last season wasn’t perfect either for Seattle, but it featured one fewer loss and quite a bit less drama, which is why Carroll admitted that is some ways this season has been more satisfying than last. Whether you want to call it a Super Bowl hangover or just the challenges of being on top and trying to stay there, this season has tested the Seahawks in unique ways, but because they were able to come together and rediscover what made them so good a year ago, they proved they could make it to the Superbowl once again. “We figured it out, it just took us a long time,” Carroll said. “It just took us longer than we would like.” John Boyle is a sports writer for The Daily Herald in Everett.

Pirates beat Tarriers in a nail biter Boys hoopsters maintain perfect league record with two more wins
By JOEL HILLE For The Beachcomber
The Vashon girls’ basketball team secured its first league victory of the season over the Charles Wright Tarriers on Friday, when they overcame a difficult second half to win 41-40 in a lastminute nail biter. The game began with Siena Jannetty dropping a 3-pointer on Vashon’s first possession. She then made another 3-pointer just past midway of the first quarter, while Annika Hille added 4 points on two offensive rebound putbacks near the end of the quarter, and the Pirates led 12-9 after one. Hille then made a 3-pointer to start the second quarter to take a 15-9 lead, but the Tarriers bounced back with some fast break points to tie the game at 15. However, with about 3 minutes left in the half the Pirates put together a nice scoring run that included another 3-pointer from Jannetty, a fast break basket from Eva Anderson and a basket at the buzzer from Lilly Hennessey to end the half leading 28-16. The Tarriers mounted a comeback in the third when they converted on several fast breaks and quickly narrowed the margin to 30-24 in the first three minutes. The Pirates couldn’t find much offense to counter their opponents’ attack, and the quarter ended with the Tarriers outscoring the Pirates 16-8 to climb within 4 points at 36-32. During the fourth quarter, both teams hit an offensive lull, but the Tarriers finally scored on two consecutive possessions to tie the score at 36 with 3:30 left in the game. The Pirates regained the lead 30 seconds later, when Natalie VanDevanter made two clutch free throws. However, the Tarriers then added a fast break lay-in and a free throw to take a 1-point lead with 1:30 left. The Pirates regained the lead again at 40-39 when Hille scored an offen-

Both teams then traded empty possessions during the last minute, but after a Tarrier miss and a critical Pirates rebound, Jannetty was fouled on a fast break shot with 9 seconds left. She made one of two free throws to put the Pirates up 41-40. The Tarriers grabbed the rebound after the second free throw and pushed the ball up the court for a last-second shot, but the Pirates were whistled for a foul with five seconds left. Fortunately for the Pirates, the Tarriers player missed both free throws, and Anderson grabbed the rebound on the second miss to seal the win. The Pirates were led in scoring by Jannetty with 14 points, Hille with 13, Anderson with 6 and Hennessey with 4, with Atwell and VanDevanter each adding 2. Hille also grabbed 11 rebounds, Jannetty had 9, Atwell had 8, Anderson had 5 and Hennessey,
VanDevanter and Melanie Stoffer each had 2. In the previous game on Tuesday, Jan. 20, the Cascade Christian Cougars traveled to Vashon holding a 4-0 league record and a fourth-place state ranking. The visitors’ defense proved tough for the Pirates, and the first quarter ended with the Cougars leading, 14-6. The Pirates also had a difficult task in guarding the Cougars’ tall post players, who played a very disciplined game, working the ball inside for short shots, and the first half ended with the Cougars leading, 27-14. In the second half, the Pirates were able to get a little more offense going, but the Cougars’ sustained scoring continued and the final score was 58-41. The Pirates were led in scoring by Jannetty with 16 points, Hille with 15 and Kai Li Scheer with 6. —Joel Hille is the father of a Pirate basketball player.
The Vashon boys’ basketball Pirates logged two more Nisqually League wins last week, beating perennial rivals Cascade Christian and Charles Wright Academy. On Jan. 20, the Pirates played at home against the Cascade Christian Cougars, with competitive tensions running high. The Pirates used their home-court energy to jump all over the visiting Cougars, ending the first half up by a score of 30-13. Knowing the nature of this rivalry, it was clear that things would tighten up in the second half. And while the Cougars implemented a very physical style of play, the Pirates withstood the charge and came out on top by a score of 46-32. Scoring summary: Jessie Norton 18, Sam Yates 13, Sam Schoenberg 5, Alex Symbol-Godfrey 3, Steen Jennings 3, Casper Forest 2 and Ian Stewart 2. On Jan. 23, the Pirates played on the road against the Charles Wright Tarriers — the only other unbeaten team in the league. The Pirates made a strong statement against a team energized by its home crowd, keeping the score close at first, then blowing the game open in the second quarter, outscoring the Tarriers 22-5. The second half brought a high level of intensity from the Tarriers, who were determined to save face on their home turf, but the Pirates — bolstered by a giant Green Tide fan showing — held on for the win, with a final score of 55-40. Scoring summary: Norton 20, Yates 12, Schoenberg 9, Jennings 6, Symbol-Godfrey 3, Sean Delargey 3 and Ian Stewart 2. The Pirates played Seattle Christian on Tuesday, Jan. 27, after press deadline and will play at home against Bellevue Christian on Friday. — James Norton is the father of a Pirate basketball player.

VHS wrestlers finish the regular season strong
Young grapplers take medals at championship tourney
Team looks to fare well in post-season competition next month By CHERYL PRUETT For The Beachcomber
The Vashon High School grapplers closed out their regular season with another dual meet victory and a strong showing at a very tough Emerald Ridge Tournament. On Thursday, Jan. 22, the Pirates traveled to Cascade Christian to take on the Cougars in the last league dual meet of the season. Saturday found the team at Emerald Ridge High School facing some of the top wrestlers in the state in the 3A and 4A classifications. The Pirates beat the Cougars by a final score of 46-22. There were numerous forfeits due to the small size of the Cascade team. Of the 14 weight classes, only seven varsity matches were actually wrestled. Of those seven, Vashon won four. Freshman Hunter Burger won by pin 22 seconds into round one. Juniors Chester Pruett, Clyde Pruett and Logan Nelson also won their matches. Alyx Arteaga, Franklin Easton and Eli Hudson lost. In junior varsity action, freshman Ben
The Vashon Rockbusters youth wrestling program wrapped up its season at the annual Pierce County Junior Wrestling League Championships. The always intense annual event featured more than 20 teams of wrestlers ages 5 to 12 and was held last Saturday at Spanaway High School in south Tacoma. Vashon was represented by seven wrestlers, and six of them took home medals. Colin McIntyre led the way, making it to the finals taking second place in a very tight match. In fourth place were Mckenzie Walker and Ethan McIntyre. Joshua Parrish earned a fifth-place medal, and taking sixth were Moses Kilpatrick and Chase Bradrick. Also wrestling for Vashon was Ryan Nelson. Bryce Coley went as an alternate. —Cheryl Pruett
Angelacos turned in the match of the night with a decisive victory by pin in round one. With injuries, attrition and illness sidelining many, Vashon had only 12 wrestlers competing at the Emerald Ridge Tournament. On the JV side of the event, Vashon had Rodolfo Flores and Isaiah Davis, both in the 120-pound weight class. Both scored first-round wins, both by pin. Flores continued on to finish third in his bracket. The remaining 10 wrestlers all muscled their way through full 16-man varsity brackets. It was an exceptionally brutal and exhausting day, but of the 10, seven went on to post very impressive top-five finishes. Most losses in the final rounds were very close affairs with only a 1- or 2-point differential. Chase Wickman took the championship in the 120-pound weight class, not breaking a sweat until the finals when he had to go into overtime to beat his opponent from Kent Meridian, 5-3. Logan Nelson continued his winning ways, making it to the finals and taking second after dropping a heart-stopper, 4-3. Burger posted an excellent day, snatching another victory in the final seconds and crawling up the backside of the bracket to take third. Chester Pruett took third on a
thrilling overtime toe-dragging takedown. Luke Larson won his first two matches, dropped the third and in the battle for third place came up just short to a brute from White River, losing 3-2 and taking fifth. Clyde Pruett mounted an impressive day, brawling through five matches, losing the last one literally in the final two seconds and finishing fifth. Shane Williams won three great matches and also finished fifth. Also competing for Vashon was Franklin Easton who wrestled very well, finishing one match shy of the medal round. Alyx Arteaga and Ben Angelacos also represented Vashon in the varsity brackets. Up next for the team is the league sub-division tournament, hosted by Vashon for the first time in several years. On Saturday, Feb. 7, teams from Port Townsend, Klahowya, Cascade Christian and Bellevue Christian will join Vashon on the first leg of the journey to the state competition. The top three placers will move on to the division championships the following weekend. Wrestling action will begin at 9 a.m. and will wrap up in the early afternoon. — Cheryl Pruett is the mother of two Pirate wrestlers.

TREK CONTINUED FROM 1
homeless person,” Lizzy said. “But we were entertained, and over lunch the story came out that he was hiking the PCT.” As for Josh, he heard about the route in high school, from an instructor at the Mountaineers Club in Seattle. Though Josh graduated from Vashon High School in 2007, he took time off while attending Western Washington University to travel. Lizzy, who graduated VHS in 2010, went on to the University of Montana. Both graduated college in 2013 — Josh with a degree in chemistry, Lizzy with a degree in Parks, Tourism and Recreational Resource Management — and that’s when serendipity intervened. One sibling mentioned to the other that they were thinking about hiking the PCT, which started the ball rolling. In the first entry from Lizzy’s blog about the trip, she explained their rationale. “Josh and I both realize this is a rare time in our lives. We are on the brink of the world, marked by a time of freedom. ... The PCT may be one of the last times we can take six months off from jobs and societal responsibilities together as young adults. We are pumped to hit the trail as crazy journeying siblings.” In April of 2013, the siblings did just that. With another friend from Vashon, Collin Hanowell, or Tooneboost as he was dubbed on the trail, the three hikers flew to San Diego to begin a journey that would include an elevation range from just above

sea level to 13,153 feet at Forester Pass in the Sierra Nevada. They would pass through 25 national forests and seven national parks, averaging 25 to 28 miles a day, carrying backpacks weighing 30 to 45 pounds and end their adventure exactly five months later on September 25. The hikers had done their homework. They read the bible of the trail, “Yogi’s PCT,” which answered questions from whether to carry bear spray to what towns to mail resupply boxes from home. They learned there is a trail culture, including strangers called “trail angels” who leave water caches in the Mohave Dessert, open their houses to hikers, feed them homecooked meals and provide help along the route. Another group of experienced hikers named “the wolverines” go through beginners’ packs at the start of the trail, chucking the unnecessary and weighty. Still, Lizzy said nothing prepared them for the journey like the hike itself. They soon discovered they had over-planned, stuffing far too much food into their resupply boxes. “Some previous study and math gave us a basis of ingredients,” Lizzy wrote in her blog. “We were going for 150 freeze-dried meals, 75 cups of insta-rice or fluff as I like call it, 14 cups of oil, 75 cups of granola, 37.5 cups of dry milk, 75 cups of nuts, 75 cups of dry fruit, 5 cups of chia seeds or flax, 150 tea or coffee sachets, 225 candy bars, and 225 health food bars PER PERSON.” Aside from tiring of too much of the same food — Lizzy claims she will never eat another Snickers bar — the hikers learned to roll with whatever showed up en route, like forest fires in the Sierras, rattlesnakes
Barbara Ann Kirschner
February 13, 1918 - January 24, 2015
Barbara was born and raised in Yakima, Washington. She grew up surrounded by music. Her mother and father were both music teachers and Barbara spent her youth playing the piano at every opportunity. In 1939, she graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Washington School of Music. She and Bill Kirschner were married in 1940. Shortly after their marriage they moved to Vashon Island where they spent the remainder of their days. Barbara was a lover of classical music and a very accomplished pianist. She spent many hours at her piano and would often have friends over to play duets with her. She was a supportive wife to her husband Bill, the founder of K2 Ski Corporation, and gracious host to his numerous business acquaintances as well as family friends. In the early years of K2, Barbara and her lady friends worked at the factory helping in the final production stages of the skis: applying tops, engraving and packaging. Barbara loved having family and friends come and visit and enjoy a swim in her pool, which was always open to any who dropped by. Barbara was a 50 year member of PEO, her first chapter being Chapter CS in Seattle. Later, when traveling to Seattle became too difficult, she joined Chapter HU on Vashon. Barbara was preceded in death by her husband Bill, and is survived by her children Bill (Susie), Bruce (Karen) and Becky (David), her grandchildren Brad and Vicki, Kimi and Kalie, Elly and Greg and 11 great grandchildren. Barbara was a happy, jolly woman who always had a smile on her face and laughter in her heart. She will be greatly missed. A celebration of Barbara’s life will be held on February 8, 2015 from 2:00 4:00 at Vashon Golf and Swim Club. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the University of Washington School of Music (Friends of Music Fund) or a charity of your choice.

sunning themselves across the trial and bear sometimes a mere 20 twenty feet away. Trail lingo and nicknames pop into Lizzy’s stories. Josh and Lizzy are called “thru-hikers,” as they hiked the entire trail in one trip. Josh is called Magic Stick for a walking staff he carved out of hickory. Lizzy’s best pal, Shannon Pepper, is dubbed Pan and the two BFFs exemplify what is known as “trail magic.” Though they had gone to college together, even shared a rock climbing class, they never clicked. “But we magically managed to start the PCT on the same day. On the trail, Pan was my sister,” Lizzy said. “We found we were both horse gals and had worked off the grid. We had no secrets.” Chance meetings with old and new friends pepper Lizzy’s conversation and blog. Shared experiences — surviving the 120-degree desert, summiting major peaks, walking the razor’s edge of peaks in the Goat Rocks Wilderness, stretched out under the blanket of a star-ladened sky and diving into a meal of Mexican food with Margaritas in a small town — morphed their band of newly formed friends into a tight family circle. They called themselves Gyspy Town. “We almost always have wobbly white sweat stains lining our backs in pack form,” Lizzy wrote in her blog. “We sport grimy tans. Our socks stand up on their own.
And, we smell ... pretty bad. However, with all this in mind, our story makes eyes glisten. ... We receive uncommon courtesy. Our enthusiasm brings smiles, high-fives and laughter. Our unquenchable appetites are entertainment for restaurant staff. ... Free food! People wish they were us, people say they will be us next year because of us. We are friendly, goofy, crazy, highly esteemed, honored, Spartans.” Back on Vashon, Lizzy is working at a local horse stable and making plans to hike the Appalachian Trail in March. The PCT, the Appalachian Trail and the Continental Divide Trail are considered the Triple Crown of Hiking in the U.S. Josh is off the grid again, skiing in Montana before he begins commercial fishing in Alaska. He will be on the island for the pair’s presentations tomorrow, which Lizzy said they hope may even inspire others to take the Pacific Crest Trail. She added with a laugh that it’s a big party out there. “Nature was beautiful and amazing, but the people made the trail. Go see some of the PCT. Get out there and do it.” Lizzy and Josh Corliss will give a presentation about their hike with a video, photographs and a Q & A session at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29, at the Vashon Bookshop.
Harold R. Mann Sadly our family announces the peaceful passing of Harold, on January 10, 2015, at his daughter Monica Pellegrini’s home, at the age of 83. Harold was born in Pendleton, OR, on April 4, 1931, to Karl and Rosa Mann. He graduated from Vashon High School and then served in the US Navy during the Korean War. After his naval service he returned to Vashon and later met and married Janet Harlin in 1962. Harold had many jobs throughout his life, The Washington Co-op and K2, both here on Vashon, Boeing, International Harvester, as a heavy equipment parts salesman throughout WA and OR for SJP Enterprises, before partnering in the Vashon Radio Shack in the early 80s, just to name a few. In 1985 after his father’s passing, Harold then took over his father’s tractor service full time. In the early 1990s, it was Harold’s idea to put lights, during the winter holidays, around the deer shaped pond that his brother “Willy” Mann built in 1989. His idea then grew to adding a lighted red nose, which islanders’ now fondly know as the “Rudolph” or just the “deer ” pond on Cemetery Rd. He was amazed at all the attention and how a simple idea became known locally, nationally, and even world wide, through many varieties of news media. One of Harold’s favorite down times was his love of traveling, taking many planned and spontaneous road trips, and he looked forward to his annual trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with friends and family. Harold was preceded in death by his son Mark Mann in 1989 and his wife Janet Mann in 2003. Harold is survived by his brother, William “Willy” Mann, daughters, Petra Mann and Monica Pellegrini, son-in-law, William Hoolahan and several nieces and nephews and many friends. His family also wants to give a very special thanks to everyone working for Hospice here on Vashon Island. You all made it possible for our father to come home, where he wanted to be, with family and friends. The family will be having a “Celebration of Harold’s Life” on Sunday, February 8th at the Vashon Sportsman’s Club, from 1:00 to 4:00pm. We welcome all to share in his wonderful spirit, kindness, generosity, humor and talent of storytelling. For remembrances in lieu of flowers please make donations to VCC Foundation.

A Shining Star on Vashon Island for 31 years! Available for Adoption Myschief is an active cat who loves to play. He never gets tired of chasing his little furry rattling mouse, and will “fetch� it right back and drop it at your feet! Other great toys are things-on-a-string and laser mice. Myschief can be intimidated by other cats so he needs to be an only cat. He’s fine with people old enough to play with him, but doesn’t really understand the limits of babies and children up to about age 4 or 5. Otherwise, he’s outgoing and will make friends with your visitors and their dogs. He’s had a hard time lately and will appreciate a family who will cherish him for his free spirit. Myschief came to VIPP on 12/17/14. Poe is a total character. When he finds a toy he really likes, Poe will prance around room to room with it in his mouth and making happy growling noises. He loves any furry toys, anything attached to a string on a stick, and especially favors laser pointers. As much as he loves to play, he loves to cuddle and be held/pet even more. Poe’s person found that in the long run, she could not care for him financially and she wants the best for this boy. Poe was born on 8/29/14 to a litter of 8 kittens and he was the runt. He is a healthy happy kitten. Poe came back to VIPP on 1/17/14.
Maddy was born around 2006 and is a homebody who likes to snuggle and is very loyal to her humans. She loves getting scratched behind the ears and cuddling . She’s a great companion as you’re reading a book, watching TV, or working on the computer. Maddy is independent, and can sometimes intimidate other cats, so it would probably be best for her to go to a home without other cats or small kids. However, she might do well with a dog, as she has lived in a house with a dog before we adopted her. Maddy has an allergy that is managed by a low dose, very inexpensive steroid. All that is involved is mashing a small pill once every four days into her wet food.
