County slowly cracks down on septic systems polluting local beaches By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
Natalie Martin/Staff Photo
King County is pressuring homeowners to address septic systems such as this unapproved one on Quartermaster Harbor.
When Rhoni Grimshaw and her husband rented a home on outer Quartermaster Harbor a year and a half ago, they were happy to find a place on the water and didn’t think much about the home’s sewage. But now, according to Grimshaw, they’ve moved out because they could no longer handle a septic system they found to be unpermitted and smelly. “When the wind is blowing, it’s nauseating,” Grimshaw said last week before she moved out, showing a reporter the underground septic pit with a plastic lid about 3 feet from her back door. Plastic piping that appeared to come from a neighboring house went into the septic tank, as did some cables that prevented the lid from fully closing. When it rains heavily, she said, the tank overflows. “You can see the live turds in there,” she said after opening the lid. “I don’t know how else to put it.” SEE SEPTIC, 19

The Vashon Pool, which recently opened for the season, was full of activity this weekend, as warm temperatures lured swimmers to stop by. Pool manager Scott Bonney said he was delighted with the weekend’s turnout, adding that he and his staff sold a lot of season passes and punch cards and signed many people up for swimming lessons and sailing camp. The pool will be open on weekends only, for both lap swimming and open swims, through June 21, when it will move to its regular season schedule. For more information, see vashonparks.org.
For almost 90 years, a white clapboard building on Westside Highway has been the spiritual home for several religious communities. It began as the Golgatha Norwegian Lutheran Church, followed by the Bethel Evangelical Free Church and for the last decade, Havurat Ee Shalom. This Sunday, the doors will open to welcome yet another group in a win-win rental agreement between the Havurah, Vashon’s Jewish community, and Puget Sound Zen Center (PSZC), the island’s Zen sangha. When the Havurah first purchased the building, the option of renting to another organization never entered the minds of the leadership. Though on occasion concerts and community events are held in the hall, during the week the building mostly remains dark, much to the chagrin of Dan Asher, an active member of Havurah. So when his friend Koshin Christopher Cain, abbot of the PSZC, mentioned that the center was looking for a new home, sharing the Havurat seemed like a mutually beneficial idea. “As a community, over the 10 years we’ve had the building, we’ve been under-utilizing it, and it has certain expenses,” SEE CHURCH, 20

After six years serving low-income people on Vashon, the dental van is not scheduled to return. Operated by Medical Teams International and staffed by volunteers, the service has ended because coordinator Hilary Emmer and dentist Cliff Eckman are retiring from their longtime posts. Taking a break between patients last Wednesday, Eckman, 79, expressed mixed feelings. “I am not sad to be retiring,” he said. “But I am sad that the service is not going to be continuing.” Going forward, The Interfaith Council to Prevent Homelessness (IFCH) has some funds for dental emergencies, according to
IFCH president Emma Amiad, and Apple Health now covers dental care at participating dentists, including two not far from Vashon: Seattle Dental Clinic and SeaMar White Center Dental Clinic. “We started (bringing the van) because there was no option,” Amiad said. “Now there is.” In the case of dental emergencies, islanders needing care should call Nancy Vanderpool with IFCH, or if they were patients at the van and need their records, they should call Emmer. Amiad also noted that social service providers may try to bring the van back again in the future if they determine there is a large need.

A fatal car accident last Thursday night claimed the life of longtime islander Ken Sudduth. Known as Kenny to his friends, Sudduth, 48, grew up on Vashon and leaves behind a large number of friends and family, including two children, Haylee and Zack Sudduth. Many who met Sudduth in recent years knew him as one of the bakers at Snapdragon, where he worked since it opened in 2012. Adam Cone, who owns the cafe with his wife Megan Hastings, said that Sudduth first worked there as a handyman, as he had done when his family owned a restaurant in the same location. When Cone needed baking help, Sudduth stepped in and learned the ropes, eventually working more than full time in that capacity. “He was a natural,” Cone said. Cone added that Sudduth was an extremely kind man, and each day when he left the cafe, he made a point of saying a personal good-bye to each of his coworkers. “That is who he was,”
Megan Hastings Photo
Ken Sudduth, pictured here at the Snapdragon, was a natural when it came to baking. Cone said. The car accident occurred at about 11 p.m. Thursday, May 28, at the intersection of SW 204th Street and 111th Avenue. SW, according to Captain Josh Dueweke, who was among those who responded to the call from Vashon Island Fire & Rescue (VIFR). Sudduth had been driving west on 204th and did not make the sharp turn onto 111th, when the vehicle he was driving left the road and hit two trees, Dueweke said.
Shortly after the accident, a sheriff ’s deputy summoned VIFR, and responders arrived in less than six minutes, Dueweke said. Medics pronounced Sudduth dead at the scene. King County Sheriff ’s Office deputies and accident detectives also responded and investigated, said Sergeant Stan Seo, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office. Deputies and VIFR personnel secured the scene until members of the county’s Major Accident Response and Reconstruction (MARR)
Unit arrived. While an official report on the accident has not been released, Seo said that investigators believe speed was a factor in the crash. By mid-afternoon Friday, a memorial to Sudduth had been erected where he died, with a cross recognizing him as a father, brother, son and friend. A memorial service is planned for 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Saturday at 18208 103rd Ave. SW on Vashon. Guests are invited to bring a dish or story to share.

Day-long species survey shows nature of island NEWS BRIEFS By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer
Scores of volunteers will head to Maury Island’s wild places this weekend to find as many species of plants, animals and other wildlife as they can in a 24-hour period. The event, the fourth annual BioBlitz, is sponsored by the Vashon Nature Center and provides a chance for those who participate to learn more about just what and who lives on the island, from its forests to its beaches. “If you have a curiosity about island plants or animals, it is a good time for swapping stories and making discoveries and speaking to people who are passionate about their areas of expertise,” said Kathryn True, one of the event organizers. “You will come away knowing your backyard a little bit better.” Interested islanders are welcome to help with counting creatures, and True noted there is room on the songbird, owl, insect and mammal surveys. Those who would like to ensure a spot on a survey team should contact the nature center in advance. At base camp at Dockton

The island is home to a variety of insects, including the jewel beetle and the dragonfly, above. Volunteers search for water creatures at a previous BioBlitz, top. Park, free activities, including using microscopes, drawing with the help of biological illustrators and checking out a touch tank of marine life, will provide a way for people to get involved on a drop-in basis. Previous BioBlitz events have all been held on Vashon Island, making this event the first one on Maury Island, which receives less rain than Vashon and has
more sun exposure as well as a healthy madrone forest. “This will be a different ecosystem than we have had before,” True added. The 24-hour span of the event allows for identifying species often out while most islanders are asleep. As darkness falls, the day’s surveys will give way to setting mammal traps, searching for insects with a black light and owling. As dawn
nears, groups will go out again, with some checking the mammal traps and others out birding. Vashon has plenty of company in holding the BioBlitz, as communities in many parts of the globe are holding nature surveys as well, from Oklahoma to Spain and Costa Rica. On Vashon, organizers say the event provides a snapshot of island wildlife and creates baseline data. Over time, True added, those involved with the nature center would like to cycle back to the areas where species were counted and see if the numbers have changed. Doing so will allow them to understand more about the island’s ecosystems and their health. For now, she encourages islanders participate in this year’s event. “We’re peeking into the stories and lives of these plants and animals that we pass by every day,” she said. The BioBlitz will take place from 1 p.m. Friday to 1 p.m. Saturday with base camp at Dockton Park. For more information, including a complete schedule, see vashonnaturecenter.org.
Park district commissioners to discuss bids to complete VES Fields The Vashon Park District commissioners will discuss bids to complete work at the VES Fields at their regularly scheduled meeting next week. Sports teams have played on the fields since they opened in 2013, though further work is needed by this September to comply with the King County permit. Previous estimates to complete the project were $158,000. At the May 26 board meeting, however, park district Executive Director Elaine Ott stated that a recent review of the project with a representative from King County’s Department of Permitting and Environmental Review indicated that construction costs will likely be between $200,000 to $250,000. The project is out to bid with a deadline of Tuesday, June 9. The commissioners will hold their regularly scheduled meeting at 7 p.m. that evening at Ober Park and discuss the bids and next steps.
Local bookkeeper sentenced for theft A Vashon bookkeeper was sentenced to 12 months of home detention last week after pleading guilty to stealing from The Country Store and an elderly couple. Donna Marie Knowles was originally charged in King County Superior Court with 35 counts of second-degree theft for allegedly stealing more than $33,000 from The Country Store and its owner while employed there in 2011 and 2012 and nearly $19,000 from a Vashon couple she did bookkeeping for in 2014. According to court documents, Knowles pled guilty in April to six of the counts. Last Friday, she was sentenced to 12 months of electronic home detention. She will also be required to pay restitution, which is estimated to be between $40,000 and $50,000. According to a King County website, those on electronic home detention are monitored electronically and confined to their homes, except when following a set schedule that may include attendance at work, school or treatment.

EDITORIAL Take a hike: Celebrate National Trails Day development OUTDOORS As gay pride marks progress, Trail continues on Vashon youth face new challenges By TOM DEAN
This month cities across the country will observe LGBT Pride Month, some holding events or parades. Vashon and King County, which is formally recognizing what it calls Gay Pride Month for the fifth year, have long been knwon for their acceptance of LGBT people. Because of this progress, youth are now growing up in a society where they can feel more comfortable questioning their sexuality or coming out as gay, bisexual or transgender. Vashon High School’s student newspaper, for instance, recently published a feature article on students at the school who have come out. While many societal But today’s changing world also brings challenges for changes mark progress, teens when it comes to overall technology has put pressures on teens that sexual health. A front-page story last week reported that a didn’t exist just a few group of volunteers examinyears ago. ing sexual health education at the Vashon School District heard that island teens’ needs aren’t all being met, their questions not all answered. There are reports out of Vashon’s high school, like many high schools, of sexting, including sending nude photos, and meeting people online. On Monday, news broke out of the Seattle suburb of Bothell that junior high student there may face charges after texting nude photos, showing that this practice can have lasting consequences. While many societal changes mark progress, technology has put pressures on teens that didn’t exist just a few years ago. It’s encouraging that the Vashon School District is working to improve its sexual health education, providing more holistic curriculum that touches on healthy relationships in addition to teaching about sex. A new teen center created by The DoVE Project, whose director was on the schools’ sexual health committee, bills itself as a place teens can come — or text — for non-judgemental answers to any questions they might feel uncomfortable asking elsewhere. The teenage years are when a foundation for healthy relationships and healthy sexuality is formed. With the challenges facing teens today, any effort to help them safely and responsibly navigate their changing world is welcome, and Vashon appears to be making strides in that direction. As the schools work to finalize new curriculum, they should be sure it reflects a changing society. And, as DoVE Director Betsey Archambault recently suggested, the most important conversations about sex begin at home. Take time to talk to teens about sex and sexuality, whether the discussion starts with sexting or Gay Pride Month.
June 6 is National Trails Day — an opportunity to celebrate trails and what they do for us. Being out in nature is a great way to get some exercise and reduce stress. A day with a hike in it is a better day. Getting a glimpse of Mount Rainier or taking the time to notice how the season is changing is a big part of why we live here. National Trails Day on the island will be a busy one. Runners will be competing in the Vashon Ultra, using trails through Island Center Forest and around Fisher Pond. At the same time, Dockton Park will be home base for the Fourth Annual Vashon Nature Center BioBlitz — a 24-hour effort to document plant and animal species for a specific area, focused this year on Dockton forest and the Maury Marine Park. Both are great ways to celebrate National Trails Day. And if you just want to take a hike, there’s still Shinglemill canyon, Christensen Pond or a walk on the beach at Point Robinson. So many options! If you moved to Vashon in the last 10 years, you might think it has always been this way. But the status of trails on
Vashon is an ever-changing landscape. Before there were roads, there were trails. Once horses were brought to the island, those trails provided overland connections between the many docks that served the growing beach communities. As the road system was developed, it was equestrians who continued to use and maintain trails. Eventually, trail riding became less of a necessity and more of a sport. As Vashon became more developed, many of those trail routes across private land were lost. The trail network began to shrink, focusing down on the largest area of public land — the state lands now protected as part of Island Center Forest. The Vashon Maury Island Land Trust, working with King County and many other partners, has been working to reverse this trend. In two short decades, most of the trails you know and

Local politics
Election season is a good time to ask hard questions about school district In the May 20 edition, I was pleased to see new names and faces running for public office. Local politics can make a difference for a community. I applaud those that want to put themselves on the line for what can be thankless work. The people running for the school board were of particular interest. They all clearly share an interest in having quality education on the island. I hope all of those candidates — incumbents and challengers — will use this campaign to take a serious look at the issues affecting the Vashon Island School District (VISD). Yes, national standards are important, but we have some local issues that need to be addressed. A lot of Vashon families choose to homeschool instead of putting their children in taxpayer-supported public education. Why? The attrition rate from elementary to high school is significant. Why do
families abandon VISD for other educational opportunities often at notable personal sacrifice? Does VISD have a culture of inclusion that actively encourages students of all abilities to participate in educational and co-curricular offerings? If not, why not? Candidates, please dig a bit. It’s not that hard to identify families who have chosen to leave our island schools. Ask around; make a few calls. You’ll learn a lot about very hard decisions families have had to make for the benefit of their kids’ education. If elected, you will be expected to tackle those concerns. This island community has been exceptionally generous in supporting Vashon schools through bond issues and charitable gifts. Nearly 30 percent of our property taxes go to the schools. It’s now time to ask some hard questions about the district’s stewardship of that support, and what better time to have this discussion than during the election process.

We want to support and encourage those who are already using trails to commute to school or work, or to shopping or a show. How would you like to be able to walk or bike from Vashon Town to Minglement at Center without setting foot on the highway? Imagine starting in Island Center Forest and hiking the length of Judd Creek, all the way to Quartermaster Harbor. Or starting at Fisher Pond and emerging in Fern Cove? The land trust is working to make these projects a reality. Of course, we can’t do it alone. Watch for opportunities to get involved this summer as the land trust develops a new Paradise Valley Loop Trail — scheduled for opening in August. In the meantime remember to get out on a trail, take a deep breath and celebrate National Trails Day.

Father-daughter night out makes for memorable moments I’m standing in a crush of commuters crowding the ferry dock, searching for our youngest daughter in the steady stream of bobbleheads disembarking the 4:35 p.m. from Vashon. I spot her in a gaggle of grade-school kids skipping down the concrete-and-steel apron, and as they frolic past, I reach for her hand. We embrace awkwardly in the swirling tide of impatient commuters. As we follow the crowd lurching up the dock, she confides that she was really nervous about her first solo ferry ride. She’d joined a group of walk-on kids, explaining that walk-on kids go to school on the island but actually live over town and ride the ferry everyday. You mean commuter kids, I interject. She coolly corrects me; they’re walk-ons. That’s what the ferry workers call them. A couple of weeks ago my wife Maria decided that we should schedule weekly one-on-one dates with each of our kids — one parent, one kid, multiple credit cards. We’ll take orderly turns and rotate through the ranks. This afternoon, I’d left work early to pick up our youngest daughter at the dock. Last week, Maria’s evening with our oldest boy was a brilliant success. He’d eaten a progressive dinner at three glitzy chain restaurants — restaurants that I’ve refused to patronize. They’d shopped for hours,

FAMILY LIFE By KEVIN POTTINGER joking, laughing, sharing confidences, bringing home swishing red and blue bags full of trendy teen clothing — clothing that I’ve refused to purchase. Earlier that afternoon while discussing logistics, Maria offered a number of helpful suggestions for our first father-daughter night out: bowling, museums, shopping for summer clothes, maybe a walk on the beach because the weather’s so nice. I countered impatiently that I saw nothing at all wrong with dinner and a movie. After more discussion, I found myself promising that I wouldn’t simply let her eat as much dessert as her stomach will hold and call that a night out. Perhaps concerned that we’d have nothing to talk about, she outlined several possible topics for healthy father-daughter conversation. Before she hung up she rattled off her shoe, pants and blouse sizes. I may have pretended to write them down. Our youngest daughter shyly asks if we can stop for snacks; she’s missed her afterschool yogurt. She’s thrilled when I sug-
gest Starbucks. Standing in front of the strategically lit pastry case, our youngest girl cautiously asks for the glazed old-fashioned donut. Sure, I say, magnanimously. It’s our night. Emboldened by the easy donut, she requests a strawberry smoothie. Nobody’s patsy, I cut her off completely after the three-pack of Madeleines. I ate the last one myself. An hour later, at sea in a cavernous Naugahyde-and-chrome booth that could seat a high-school football team, our youngest daughter explains the rather simple process at this sushi place. Small, brightly-colored plates of sushi chug along what looks to be model railroad track that snakes around the airplane-hangar-sized room. Perfectly suited for 10-year-olds, one simply grabs appealing plates as they promenade past, while a pair of grimly efficient sushi chefs fill empty plates with California rolls and sashimi, positioning the plates carefully on the track for a five-minute voyage around the room. I learned that our youngest daughter is fond of California rolls, and that she is not fond of raw fish or anything that looks like it could be made of insect parts. And tatertots apparently count as sushi. Later in the hushed and darkened theater, we take our seats in the second row

Come and enjoy the butterfly garden A big thank you to those who helped with the VIGA Butterfly/Pollinator Garden this last Saturday at the Village Green. It couldn’t have been done without you. VIGA & VPD Boards for approving the project. Island Lumber for lending a backhoe, and giving a discount on plants. Dig for some free plants. Many who helped during the planting time. Our Island community is great! Come visit and enjoy the garden. There will be an educational placard installed soon. The whole purpose is to promote pollinator
habitat restoration on the island, and to dissuade our use and misuse of chemicals, which are decimating the pollinator populations of the earth. A practice which is not sustainable. As a song I wrote, which will soon be on iTunes says, “We need to stop thinking just “me,” and start thinking “we”...We need to stop using poisons, and start planting for the bees.” Gene Kuhns
Chicken Plunge Fundraiser makes a big splash! This year’s third annual Vashon Senior Center Chicken Plunge fundraiser was a big success thanks to Pacific Research aka The Bone Factory/Sawbones for their generous donation that provided the commemorative t-shirts to each brave plunger. The Fund Development Committee would also like to thank Wagons of Steel for the fine print work on the t-shirts, as well as Vashon Island Fire & Rescue for providing two paramedics to make sure all the plungers were safe, and to the friends, family and businesses who supported and sponsored the Chicken Plungers.

next to a pair of beefy guys in T-shirts. They look a little old for this animated feature. I cry at the end when the purple cartoon alien learns the true meaning of human friendship. She pats my hand in the dark. We pass several women’s clothing stores on our way out. I suggest some shopping, but she’s reticent. I try to kindle interest in a pale-yellow lacy-cotton skirt when an officious sales clerk marches over, asking if I need some sort of help. The store has apparently installed a silent dad-clothes-shopping-with-hisyoungest-daughter alarm. Another sales clerk shows up as backup. The clerks, condescendingly polite, know that I haven’t the faintest idea what I’m doing. I can’t even remember her size. The store quietly closes on us. Halfway home, our youngest girl blinks twice and yawns; her eyelids droop. I cover her with my green Filson vest Maria gave me for Christmas. Apparently Filsons last forever. Good thing Maria got the bigger size. We miss the 9:20 and have an hour to wait on the empty dock. As she sleeps, the western sky curdles orange and grey, then purple and China red, and finally fades to black.

We went back to that house you showed us last weekend. We found a dead hummingbird under a feeder and another dead bird in the bushes near the back door. Do you think there is something wrong with the water there?
A:
There should be nothing wrong with the water at that home since it’s in a good water system that’s checked regularly. What you probably saw was the result of spoiled birdseed and sugar water that had mold and fungus in it. It’s not uncommon, I’m sad to say, for homes that are vacant to leave behind their half filled bird feeders. The seed spoils and can kill birds if they eat it. With the hummers, the feeders develop molds and fungus that can kill these lovely little birds. Most people are not aware of the danger of dirty feeders. In addition, many people who feed birds do not properly clean the feeders before they pour in new seed or, with hummingbird feeders, add sugar water. They think they’re doing the birds a favor but they’re literally killing them. Seed gets stuck in the bottom of feeder tubes and rots, turning it deadly. Folks should read about the proper way to feed birds and clean feeders. Even mixing the sugar water needs to be done properly. This is not really a real estate issue but I am a birder (birdwatcher) and this sort of thing bothers me. Particularly in spring and summer the birds will do just fine without the feeders, so unless a person plans on keeping their feeders really clean they shouldn’t have them. Our Anna’s hummingbirds are here year round as well as many varieties of other birds, so in the winter it helps them out to feed them, but only if you take responsibility to keep the feeders clean. Most experts will tell you that the hummingbird feeder should be clean enough that you would drink the sugar water out of it. It must be changed and cleaned very often to prevent the fungus that can kill these beautiful little birds.

IT’S YOUR HISTORY Creature Feature (part 1)
By Chris Austin
Mark A. Goldman, you and I are brothers. You were spot on in your letter about our government and how it operates. (“The government continues to deny our rights and freedoms,” May 27.) The lobbyists, special interests, the Fed and the bureaucrats are truly the ones running our America. The mainstream media (our fourth check) is unconscionably compliant in this process and does all it can to pull us apart as Americans. That way we’ll stay distracted and uninformed about the freedoms and unalienable rights slowly being stolen from us. Instead of concentrating on what separates us, why aren’t the media and the American people emphasizing what we all have in common? Unless you’re a left or right progressive, a socialist or a Marxist, if someone went through our Constitution and Bill of Rights with the majority of everyday Americans, liberal or conservative, my bet is that you get a minimum of 95 percent agreement. Let’s start there. This administration promised during the campaign to not renew the Patriot Act, one of the most egregious pieces of legislation since the Federal Reserve Act. Eight years later, the Patriot Act is alive and expanding day by day. I’ll close with my
But a feisty predator not seen very often is the mink. They are members of the family that includes weasels and may even be descendants of escapees from the mink farm once located off Bank Road. While mink are the bane of chicken ranchers, our newest apex predator is the wily coyote. Sightings of a roadrunner are as yet unconfirmed. We have had a few unusual animals involved in episodes on the island. For instance, one hundred years ago a livestock-killing cougar was held at bay by dogs and then shot. The event became so newsworthy that it was depicted on a postcard. The front of the card pictured the dispatched beast and the back had a one-cent stamp and a son’s note to his father describing the situation. That was probably the last time we ever had a cougar or one-cent stamp on the island. In the late 1950s two fishermen noticed a black bear swimming across West Passage toward Cove. They had the idea of capturing it for a zoo. With this in mind they thought it would be a good idea to lasso it. It wasn’t. They managed to get the bruin on the deck of the boat but fearing it might capsize they sent it back into the water where it drowned. Perhaps the most exotic animal on the island was the African lion owned by a former circus man. The three-hundred-pound feline was housed close to the Vashon elementary school. After public outcry “Felix” was donated to the Woodland Park Zoo. My guess is that it was for the welfare of the lion. Such is the power of screaming kids.

favorite quote from Josef Stalin. (For you people who aren’t into history, in a little over a one year, he committed the largest and most efficient extermination of a race of people in history, more than 7 million.) “America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold; its patriotism, its morality and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.” I do believe I hear the sounds of a cavein. — Brian Dougher
Tragedy
Was article necessary? I would like to address two young women mentioned recently. First is Zoey Rice. What a brave and strong young woman you are. Thank you for your letter about depression and suicidal feelings. (“Current efforts are encouraging,” May 13.) And then about Sierra. I have been mourning her death since December. While I appreciate your editorial against driving after drinking, it saddened me to see your prominent article about her death. Really, many of us, including her mother and grandmother, have just begun to heal a teeny bit. Why was this article necessary? All it seems to have done is to reopen wounds that are finally healing a tad. — Morgan Ahern

No history of our islands would be complete without a story about local flora and fauna, and today’s story concerns fauna. Or is it flora? I don’t know, whichever one means animals. Residents are used to seeing ospreys that think a cell phone tower is a tree, deer that think our flower beds are salad bars and raccoons that think they are much faster than they really are when running across the road.

Rock camp: Young musicians can write, perform Live It OutLoud, an educational summer music program based in Tacoma, is jumping the pond to Vashon for the first time, courtesy of the Open Space for Arts & Community, which is hosting the program. Live It OutLoud is an eight-week summer music program for young musicians, ages 12 to 18, produced by Ted Brown Music Outreach. Students who attend the camp are evaluated and then grouped into a band to write songs and perform covers on a professional level. Each band will be assigned a professional mentor for guidance. Ian Moore and Jason Staczek will be two of several island mentors. A program-wide songwriting seminar will assist students in the structure, lyrics, composition and arrangement of songs, as each band will write and per-
form one original song and two covers for a final concert, which will be held on Saturday, Aug. 8, at the Rialto Theater in Tacoma. The bands will rehearse weekly at the Open Space and will be supervised by the professional mentors. A series of group seminars, open to all students, will be presented in Tacoma during the camp. Past seminars have included stage performance, the studio experience, the music business, promotion, shooting videos, keyboard, guitar, vocal and drum master classes. An informational meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 9, at the Open Space. Evaluations will be on June 10, and rehearsals will begin after the mentors are assigned. Need-based scholarships will be available. For more information, visit tacomarockschool.com/contact.

Sale of laundromat in town is pending PTSA brings back its auction fundraiser Vashon may yet see the return of a laundromat in town, as an agreement of sale has been made for the former Joy’s Village Cleaners space after nearly two years on the market. Listing agent Bill Chunn of Vashon Island Realty said that there is a sale pend-
ing and that he feels confident going to closing, which should take place in about a month. Chunn said the buyer has indicated a strong desire to revive the laundromat. The only laundromat on the island, Joy’s closed after longtime owner Joy Humphreys retired in June of 2013.
Voice of Vashon launches email alert system Voice of Vashon (VoV) recently started an email service that it will use to send alerts about a variety of island issues. Those who sign up for the service will receive alerts about everything from ferry delays and road closures to power outages and information pertaining to major storms. VoV previously used the listserve VashonAll to send its notices, and it sent over 170 alerts last year, according to Luke McQuillin, VoV’s Emergency Alert Team Coordinator. However, VashonAll ended at the beginning of this year, and VoV decided to use the opportunity to set up its own
email alert system, McQuillin said. The new email alerts are a collaboration between VoV, VashonBePrepared and Vashon Island Fire & Rescue, which activates its emergency operations center (EOC) in major island-wide emergencies. In such an instance, VoV will help with the public information desk at the EOC and send alerts directly from the center. Sign up for the emails at voiceofvashon. org/alerts. The alerts are also put out on 1650AM, voiceofvashon.org, vashonbeprepared.org and VoV’s Facebook page and smartphone app.

After taking a year off from major fundraising, the Vashon Community PTSA will host live and silent auctions on Saturday to raise the funds needed to continue its programs through the next school year. “We didn’t hold one last year because we were funded enough for a twoyear budget,� said PTSA President Jackie Merrill. “And with all of the other fundraising that goes on on the island, we thought people were a bit auctioned out. But now we need to fundraise for next year.� Vashon’s PTSA is unique in that it supports all three of the island’s public schools — most PTSAs are school specific. “People probably don’t realize the scope of the programming the PTSA supports,� Merrill said. “With the number of organizations that raise money for the schools, it’s understandable. But while we’re all under one big umbrella, we focus on different things.� Programs the PTSA sup-

ports include science nights at Chautauqua Elementary School, Camp Waskowitz scholarship funds, Orca Readers, Family and StudentLink, debate club, VHS tech club, teen forums and events at VHS and McMurray, family movie nights, Exploratory Week scholarship funds and more. Each year the organization chooses something specific to raise funds for, over and above its annual budget of about $20,000. “Last year we were able to give $40,000 for the new math curriculum,� Merrill said. The PTSA’s earmarked funds for next year, should it raise enough, will go to support the artists in schools program in conjunction with Vashon Allied Arts. Saturday’s hoedownthemed event will take place at the Jesus Barn Farm and feature live music from the island band Riverbend, as well as catering by Pink Tractor Farm. McMurray
Middle School humanities teacher Larry Dubois will act as auctioneer for the live auction, which will include a Mariners day, Vashon Golf & Swim Club family pass, sailboat dinner cruise for four and a full day of dirt work by Roggenbuck Construction up for bids. Some items available through the silent auction include a Macrina Bakery gift card and cookbook, four tickets to the Museum of Flight, a tattoo session at Sea Change Tattoo, Seattle Art Museum tickets and a one-month membership to the Vashon Athletic Club. Tickets cost $45 each, and while early-bird sales were slow, Merrill said she remains optimistic about the event. “It’s Vashon,� she said. “I am hopeful we’ll have a good crowd show up on the day.� Tickets are available online only at vashonptsa. com or brownpapertickets. com. — Sarah Low

Fiery state track meet yields eight medals for island teens By CARRIE VAN BUREN For The Beachcomber
At the WIAA State Track & Field Championship in Cheney last weekend, there was something for everyone. Akin to a circus but with just one large oval ring of entertainment, the meet featured nonstop competitive action and feats of athleticism in 17 different events sprinkled with random acts of inspiring sportsmanship. Eastern Washington University’s eyepopping red turf infield and big-screen replays of photo finishes provided a dramatic backdrop for the 1,400 1A, 2B and 1B high school athletes who came to give it their all in the 80-degree heat. Five islanders competed in eight different 1A events over three days, and three of them came home with multiple medals, which are given to the top eight finishers in each event. Sprint races required a day of preliminary heats followed by a day of finals, while the distance and field events wrapped up prelims and/or finals in the same day. In addition to the stream of award announcements for podium winners in each event, the WIAA recognized team scholarship in each classification and a variety of sportsmanship awards were granted throughout each day. Island teen Abi Kim, who attends Seattle Christian, seized the day and the finish line as she held onto her first-place State title in both the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes for the third consecutive year. A significant headwind prevented any record-setting times to be set in either event, but Kim managed a winning time of 12.77 seconds in the 100 and 25.64 seconds in the 200. In the girls’ long jump, Kim leaped to an impressive 18 feet, 6 3/4 inches, but it wasn’t quite enough for first place as her Linden Christian competitor added 1.5 inches for the win and gave Kim the second-place honors. In the final event of the championship weekend, Kim’s 4x400 meter relay

Watching another Vashon teen, Northwest’s Graham Peet making his third appearance at State in the distance events, felt like it was déjà vu all over again as he had an outstanding finish in second place in the 3,200 meters and fourth place in the 1,600 — the same spots he won at the
WILLIAMS HEATING Proudly Sponsors… PIRATE
Emmaline Wittwer VHS Junior - Girls Tennis Emmaline, a VHS junior, has been an invaluable member of the team this year. She works extremely hard and has improved every aspect of her game over the last 12 weeks. She is consistent from the baseline, her serve is on it way to becoming a weapon and her aggressive, angled volley has made huge strides. Emmaline played #1 doubles for us all season and truly hit her stride in the league tournament with Siena Jannetty. While they did not qualify for Districts, they came in 3rd in the league. Emmaline gives 100% all the time, staying after practice to work on serves, coming to Saturday practices, I wish I could bottle that and sell it! Emmaline is also a distinguished scholar athlete at both the WIAA and Nisqually league levels. I am so excited to have her back next season!

2014 State meet. In the 3,200, Peet set the pace and led the pack of 17 racers with confidence for the most of the race, but in the final lap his Port Townsend competitor turned on the afterburners and forced Peet into second place, which he held with guts and grace to the finish line. Pirate Annika Hille, also in her third round at State, had a repeat performance in the long jump on Friday as she missed
the cut for the final flight of jumps by only a half an inch and took 10th place with a jump of 15 feet, 11 inches. She finished 10th in that event at last year’s championships. However, Hille’s resolve to make the podium after narrowly missing a sprint berth by hundredths of a second the past two years was evident, as she did just that. With only one-tenth of a second separating the blitz of five bodies in fourth through eighth place in the 100 meter race final, her time of 13.16 earned seventh place and gave her that sought-after first State medal. Later, Hille closed her participation with a strong sixth-place finish in the 200 meters, in another close match-up, with a time of 26.38 seconds. Teammate Emily Browne had her first experience in a State triple jump event on Saturday and took it in stride by leaping to a new personal record of 33 feet, 1 inch in the last of three jumps in the preliminary round. After the sorting, she was elated to learn that she made the cut and had another three jumps to better her score in the final flight. Though Browne completed several excellent leaps, she settled with her personal record jump and finished in a successful ninth place. Also in her first appearance at State, Eva Anderson blasted off from the starting line in the 800 meter preliminary race, which tested all of its participants with the late afternoon heat. Anderson needed a big personal record to snag a top-three spot in her heat and make the cut. She passed several competitors and finished strong in 2:34.62, but it wasn’t quite enough to move ahead to Saturday’s final race. Anderson took 12th place in the event and was delighted to be a part of the action. Judging from the abundant smiles and camaraderie on the track and in the field, so were the other high school athletes in attendance at State this year. — Carrie Van Buren is the mother of a Pirate track athlete.

Valkyries end season, say farewell to seniors The Valkyries, Vashon Lacrosse Club’s high school girls’ team, recently ended its season with a 14-11 win against Puyallup. For 11 seniors, many who have played with the program since fifth grade, the win was bittersweet as they moved on from the program. The team placed in the top 10 of every statistical category in their league: Anneke Steneker and Genevieve Rauma holding second and sixth place, respectively, in total goals; Zina Carroll in second place for ground balls and seventh for controlled turnovers; Mykah Shiosaki in second place for draws and sixth for controlled turnovers, and goalie Sophie Gagnaire in seventh place overall for saves. Several graduating players are going on to play at the collegiate level. Anneke Steneker will play for Boise State University and Zina Carroll and Genevieve Rauma will
play for the University of Washington. The Valkyries lacrosse program serves third grade and up with middle school and high school teams competing in the Washington Schoolgirls Lacrosse Association. The girls’ game is very different from boys lacrosse, is mostly non-contact with no helmets or pads and has an emphasis on speed, finesse and skill. It is never too late to pick up a stick, and new players are encouraged to join at every level. For more information, visit vashonlacrosse.net Pictured above from left to right are seniors Anna Ripley, Ellen Chappelka, Cameron Urban, Olivia Brenno, Zina Carroll, Genevieve Rauma, Anneke Steneker, Mykah Shiosaki, Sumner Ames, Sarah Raymond, Emma Dubois, and coach Larry Dubois.

PEO to host garage sale fundraiser Vashon-Maury Chapter HU of PEO, a national philanthropic educational organization, will host its annual multi-family tag sale at the Presbyterian church from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday. From its inception in 1869, PEO has taken an active role in promoting educational opportunities for women, particularly those faced with hardships later on in life who would benefit from completing an unfinished degree, obtaining a college education or
acquiring other vocational training. Many women on Vashon who have benefited from these funds — scholarships, low-interest loans or emergency assistance — are now making contributions on the island by using the skills they gained from continuing their education. More than 250,000 women in the United States and Canada are members of PEO, with two active chapters on Vashon.

Wednesday, June 3, 2015 • Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber
SEPTIC CONTINUED FROM 1
Public health officials say the situation at Grimshaw’s rental is not uncommon on Vashon. And though Grimshaw’s main concern was the smell, King County is slowly but surely cracking down on old and ineffective septic systems on Vashon because of the pollution they send into the water. Recently there’s been a special emphasis on the 5-mile stretch of beach where Grimshaw lives, a highly polluted shoreline on southern Vashon Island that the county hopes can be opened to shellfishing if enough homeowners fix their systems. A similar effort is planned next for the Spring Beach neighborhood. “Every county is responsible to do its part and get its part of Puget Sound back into compliance,” said Darrell Rodgers, manager of community environmental health in King County’s public health department. “We’ve made a commitment to the state and the tribe that we’re going to do this one way or another.” Now, according to Rodgers, the situation at Quartermaster Harbor is improving. All but a few homes on the targeted shoreline have taken steps to repair their septic systems or install new ones. But four houses are still not in compliance, including three owned by Grimshaw’s former landlord, a California man named Buzz Delano. “Unfortunately he’s not the only one that’s like that,” Rodgers said. “It’s a problem on the island. People don’t want to spend the money; they don’t want to invest. They’ve been breaking the law for so many decades, they don’t care.” Indeed, for decades there has been little enforcement of King County’s septic code on Vashon, despite pressure from the Puyallup Tribe, which has shellfishing rights it cannot exercise because of the pollution. The county’s current effort began in 2007, when it identified more than 250 homeowners at six island beaches with the worst pollution and told them they needed to either prove their systems were in order or begin the process of getting them inspected and repaired. Since then, the county has performed extensive outreach, issuing regular notices and working one-on-one with homeowners in those areas, called Marine Recovery

Asher said. “Rental was never part of the program, but in talking to Koshin, who needed a new space, light bulbs went off for both of us.” Though the Zen sangha enjoyed the everchanging beauty of Tramp Harbor as seen from inside its former center — a large converted garage at a home at Ellisport — outside the issue of zoning painted another picture. Parking was restricted by the center’s location in a residential neighborhood, and that hampered both family activities and any future growth. Moving became not just an option but a necessity. “We were looking for a place that was zoned properly and had parking, not too far from town, was quiet and had a place for walking meditation,” Cain said. “The Havurat ticks all those off.” Indeed, the building’s simple but spacious interior will easily fit the Zen center’s 60 dues-paying members, with room in the basement for an office, a library and

Keith Church Keith was born on Vashon Island, Wash., was stationed in Okinawa, lived in Los Angeles and Chicago, and traveled the world, but Lewiston became his home when he and his wife Pat moved there in 1979. Keith, a devoted husband, father, “Gramps,” brother and friend, died of the effects of COPD on Friday at the same Normal Hill home he and his family moved into 36 years ago. He was 72. Vashon was blanketed by a rare blizzard on Jan. 20, 1943, when Keith was born. There was an Army outpost a block away from his parents’ house, and the soldiers took Keith’s mother to a nursing home on the island that doubled as the birthing center, since their four-wheel-drive vehicles could get through the snow. Keith was one of five brothers born to Bea and Steve Church, and they all grew up on the island, which Keith always said was the perfect place to be a kid. From an early age, Keith was an avid reader with a wide range of interests. Reading was a hobby he enjoyed until his final days. He read multiple newspapers every day and enjoyed a variety of fiction, nonfiction and history books. He always had a piece of advice to give, based on whatever he had read that week. He attended school on Vashon, then earned his bachelor’s degree at Eastern Washington and his master’s degree at the University of Washington. In his early 20s, he worked on a commercial fishing boat, the Janet G, in Alaska. He later enlisted in the Marines and was stationed in Okinawa. Keith met Patricia Reed through a mutual friend in Seattle in 1969. Three months later, the couple were married and, the following day, they moved to Los Angeles where Keith had a job waiting with General Telephone. About a year later, Keith was hired by Computer Science Corp., and he and Pat moved to Chicago. After a few years there, CSC transferred him back to Southern California, to Culver City, where they lived for five years. In 1979, Paul Hayman, the general manager of Hahn Supply Inc. in Lewiston, was looking for someone to replace him so he could care for his ill wife. Glenn Reed, a friend of Paul, recommended his son-in-law Keith for the job. With Paul’s approval, Hahn Supply owner A.L. (Butch) Alford Jr. ultimately hired Keith for the position, so the Church family made the move from L.A. to the small-town life of Lewiston, which they never regretted. By this time, Keith and Pat had a son and a daughter: Alex, born in Chicago in 1973, and Sarah, born in Los Angeles in 1976. Keith was a source of love, advice and amusement for his children throughout his life, and both of them still live within blocks of the home they grew up in. Their home was a gathering place for countless family events as well as an annual Christmas Eve
party, for the last 26 years. Keith was the general manager at Hahn Supply for over 30 years, and continued to report to “the shop” during his semi-retirement. Even a week before his death, he was still going to work. Keith had a great love of Hells Canyon and the Snake River, which he was first introduced to by “Captain” Frank Hoyt. Keith joined the “Wild Bunch,” which would journey by jet boat to Frank’s cabin at Coon Hollow every October for an extended fishing trip. Keith and his good friend Ray Brooks later went in together on their own Snake River cabin at Shovel Creek in 1990. It was a one-room cabin perched on huge rocks when they bought it, and over the years that followed they added more rooms, decks, an irrigation system and a working shower (a warm shower after a long day on the river is fabulous). The Wild Bunch now stays at the Church-Brooks cabin every fall. Pat and Keith loved to take old and new friends to the cabin and introduce them to the rugged beauty of Hells Canyon. Keith was a handyman and especially enjoyed woodworking. The cabin at Shovel Creek is decorated with funny signs he carved, and all his grandchildren have wooden toy boxes he made. Even if he goofed when etching words into one of his wooden creations, he usually found a way to cover up the typo. “He wasn’t a perfectionist, but he made them with love,” said one of his family members. For years, Keith faithfully watched the Lewis-Clark State baseball team play in the NAIA World Series. During his last week, he listened to the games on the radio and died moments after the Warriors won their 17th national championship. Keith enjoyed traveling, cooking and spending time with his family. He and Pat made trips to China, South America, Europe, Mexico and the Caribbean. And with Alex and Sarah and their families, they traveled to Mexico, the Oregon Coast and many times to the cabin at Shovel Creek. Keith also enjoyed investments and owned a number of properties in town with friends. He rehabilitated a few rundown houses in town and, although he did this mainly as an investment, he was very proud to help beautify the neighborhood at the same time. Keith was kind, honest and willing to help others. He regularly donated blood to the Red Cross for many years. He was also active in Opportunities Unlimited, the Homebuilders Association and Habitat for Humanity throughout the years. Keith is survived by his wife, Pat, and his children, Alex Church (wife Jeane) and Sarah Baney (husband Matt), and his grandchildren, Joey and Joshua Church and Miles and Lucy Baney, all of Lewiston. He is also survived by his brothers, Steve (Ceil), Dave, and Bruce (Phyllis), all of Vashon Island; and Jack (Shirley) of Stanwood, Wash.; as well as sister-in-law Vicki Miles (late husband Lee) of Portland, brother-in-law Glenn Reed (Glenda) of Spokane and many nieces and nephews. Keith was proceeded in death by his parents, his in-laws and granddaughter Beth Irby, with whom he had a special relationship. A celebration of Keith’s life will be held Saturday, June 6 at 11 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church of Lewiston at 1906 Broadview Drive. A reception will follow at the same location. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Malcom’s Brower-Wann of Lewiston. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the YWCA’s domestic violence program, Willow Center or the Lewiston Independent Foundation for Education.

Thelma is a gorgeous white female with long white locks and one blue eye and one green eye. She is very intelligent and talkative and she has a special trick whereby she hops like a kid goat! This affectionate girl is a lot of fun. Thelma is looking for a new home where she can get lots of attention from her new peeps. Born 2007.
Foxy earned her name from her being able to outfox her owner in getting her to VIPP to be relinquished. She ended up being left behind after the owner moved and VIPP used a Havahart trap to get her. She settled down and settled in once she got to her foster home. Foxy is a little sprite of a cat who loves to be petted. Foxy came to VIPP on 7/22/14.
Dogs
Ginger will need an active home that can give her plenty of exercise and continue with her training.And because she is just now learning how to interact with other furry and small creatures, being an only dog in a home with no kids is best so the spotlight can be on her! For more information please call VIPP.
ADOPT A CAT DAY every Saturday 11:30–2:30 at the VIPP Cat Shelter - 12200 SW 243rd St. (off Old Mill Rd.) Dog Adoptions by appointment only at dogs@vipp.org. Lost & Found, and other information, call 206.389.1085. Follow us on Facebook and www.vipp.org.
