VIFR looks to expand volunteer force By SUSAN RIEMER Staff Writer

Biologist brings his passion for jellyfish to local aquarium By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
Chad Widmer thinks jellyfish have gotten a bad rap. The translucent creatures get caught in fishing nets and sucked into boat engines. Many people consider them slimy or have stories of being stung by them during a vacation. “Most people think of jellyfish as a nuisance and they’re happy when they’re not around,” said Widmer, a marine biologist who lives on Vashon. “They’re not scary at all. They’re beautiful.” Widmer is the force behind a new exhibit at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium that not only gets visitors upclose with jellyfish of all shapes, colors and sizes, but is SEE JELLYFISH, 19
Vashon’s fire department will close the window on a new round of volunteer applications next week, and district officials say they hope many islanders will step forward, willing to serve. Like many fire departments that rely on volunteers, Vashon Island Fire & Rescue (VIFR) has struggled to maintain an adequate volunteer crew to assist with medical, fire and other emergencies. With June 30 as the application deadline, many at VIFR are encouraging islanders to bolster the department’s ranks and serve as emergency medical technicians (EMTs), as well as firefighter/EMTs, firefighters and firefighter support members. Men and women, young and not so young, are encouraged to apply. “A lot of people think you have to be a 20-something uber-fit male to qualify for the department, and that is not true,” said Brigitte Brown, 60, a longtime volunteer EMT. Currently, about 40 people volunteer with VIFR, and only about half of those live on the island,

Volunteers at Vashon Island Fire & Rescue train regularly for a variety of calls. Here, firefighters practice putting out a car fire on the department grounds. said Assistant Chief George Brown, who would like to increase the number of volunteers, as well as the percent who live on-island. At VIFR, nearly 80 percent of calls are for medical reasons, and there is a pressing need for additional EMTs. For years, VIFR officials have talked about the rising call volume and how it stretches the department’s resources. In 1995, George Brown said, the
department received under 800 calls, and last year that number increased to more than 1,700 calls. Adding to the pressure is that frequently several calls come in at once. “Our calls come in clusters. I cannot explain it,” he said. Fire district commissioners have directed the department to be ready to respond to two and a half calls at a time, Brown said,
and sometimes the department falls short of being able to do so. At any given time, VIFR has two paid EMT/firefighters and two paramedics on shift, with the ability to respond to one and a half calls — the half call being the ability to respond to a call but not to transport the person off-island. Brown would like enough volunteers to fully staff another call, SEE VOLUNTEERS, 18
TRANSFORMING A LANDSCAPE ON MAURY A quiet ceremony at the Maury Island Marine Park on Saturday was hardly a reflection of the busy scene the county-owned park has been for the last couple years. Through a $2.1 million effort funded by the state, the former mining site has been transformed from a hillside overridden with blackberries and Scotch broom to an inviting park dotted with native plants and new trails. In what’s been called the largest environmental restoration in Vashon’s history, crews with Puget SoundCorps cleared 50 acres of noxious weeks, including about 2,000 feet of shoreline, and planted 103,000 new plants such as cedar, oak and madrona trees. Twenty tons of trash and creosote logs were removed. On Saturday, county officials and local volunteers cut the ribbon on the finishing touch, a large picnic shelter in the heart of the park, overlooking the water and Mount Rainier. The shelter’s construction was funded by a King County grant and organized by the Friends of Maury Park. And though it hasn’t been promoted much, Karlista Rickerson, founder of the friends group, said the shelter is already drawing picnickers and those looking for a cool place to relax. “We understand someone came down with a hammock and had it stretched from post to post,” she said. Christie True, director of the county’s Department of Natural Resources and Parks, called the landscape at the park completely different than when she moved to Maury Island some years ago. “It was a gem then, and it’s even more of a gem now,” she said.

The Vashon Park District has reopened the bid process to complete the VES Fields and will hold a meeting early next month to discuss bids that come in. Park District Executive Director Elaine Ott put out a request for bids through the Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC) several weeks ago, but only one bid came in, she said, and it lacked a required element and was not considered. Furthermore, she has had ongoing conversations with officials at the county’s Department of Permitting and Environmental Review (DPER) since then, and the
scope of work has increased, also increasing the project’s cost. In particular, DPER is requiring more paving than the district previously anticipated. By law, the park district must conduct a public bid process for projects over $300,000, Ott noted, and completing this project is now expected to cost between $270,000 and $320,000. A previous cost projection to complete the project was $158,000. Ott said she felt it wise this time not to use the MRSC, which is open only to members, but to go through a public process,

even though it might not be necessary. “I am fully committed to doing this to the letter of the law,� she said. “I will err on the side of caution and take the more conservative route.� Park district commissioners have two options to complete the project. They can choose to complete all of the remaining work to close out the permit this year, by the deadline of Sept. 23. Or they can break the work into two parts, completing one portion this year and submitting a plan to DPER to complete the remainder next year. Companies that bid on the project are to provide bids for both scenarios, Ott said. While the completion deadline is getting closer, Ott said the project manager for this stage of the fields project, Mitch Treese, has assured her it can be done by Sept. 1. The closing date for bids is July 7, the same day as the meeting scheduled to review them. The meeting will be at 7 p.m. at Ober Park. — Susan Riemer

Unseasonably dry weather prompts burn ban Vashon’s fire chief warns against fireworks By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
A burn ban was issued this week for unincorporated King County due to the recent unseasonably dry weather. The King County Fire Marshal issued the burn ban on Monday, with a press release explaining that the ban was prompted by unseasonably dry condi-
tions, little expected rainfall in the near future and a low snowpack. The ban will be in place through the summer. Under the ban, no outdoor burning is allowed except for small recreational fires in established fire pits at approved campgrounds or on private property. Fire Chief Hank Lipe at Vashon Island Fire & Rescue (VIFR) called the dry weather during this time of the year unprecedented in recent history and said he is concerned about the fire risk on

Vashon. “The island needs to be extremely careful and vigilant in recognizing how dry it is and not burning,” he said. All 39 counties in Washington have now enacted burn bans. On Monday the state Department of Natural Resources also expanded its burn band, previously only east of the Cascades, to include the entire state. That ban prohibits burning in state forests, state parks and forestlands protected by the agency. Because of the dry conditions, many towns in Washington are also banning fireworks this year. In King County, 22 of 36 cities have complete fireworks bans in place. Other cities allow fireworks only on the Fourth of July, and in unincorporated King County, fireworks may be discharged only on the Fourth of July from 9 a.m. to midnight.
Lipe, at VIFR, said King County considered a fireworks ban but decided to allow fireworks in unincorporated areas this year and issued permits to firework stands, including one on Vashon. Legal firework sales begin this Sunday. However, Lipe said he personally hopes people will avoid lighting fireworks this holiday because of the heightened fire risk. “While it may be legal to use fireworks, I would recommend against it,” he said. King County recommends that those who do use fireworks be sure that a responsible adult lights them, that fireworks are lit away from buildings, houses with wood shingles, trees and dry fields, and that a charged garden hose or a fire extinguisher is on hand. It also recommends that fireworks be soaked in water before disposal. King County’s burn ban does prohibit sky lanterns.

The official recognition was signed by all the county councilmembers and noted several of Pitrof’s achievements, such as making fresh, healthy food available to 15 percent of the island’s population each year; initiating successful programs to end hunger, including the farm and garden program; and developing the island’s first summer lunch program, Picnics in the Park.

Water district releases shares to possible housing developer We Need Landowner is interested in building low-income housing By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
Vashon’s largest water purveyor recently released 20 water shares, the majority of them to an island man interested in building affordable housing near town. Water District 19’s three-person board voted at its last meeting to release 20 water shares after a report showed that conservation throughout the district has resulted in a surplus of water. Eighteen shares went to islander Mike Masi, who owns several acres near town. The other two shares went to another person on the district’s waiting list. Masi, a graphic designer, is the owner of a well-kept six-unit mobile home park on Gorsuch Road that he jokingly calls Vashon’s only legal trailer park. When he purchased the 7-acre property in 2005, the owner was already on Water District 19’s waiting list, having requested 25 water shares in 1998. The partially wooded property has 4 buildable acres, and Masi said he has considered building additional housing there for years, after hearing many conversations about Vashon’s lack of affordable housing. The plot, he said, was even identified decades ago in the Vashon Town Plan as a possible spot for new affordable housing. “I feel like this is my opportunity to do something,” he said. Lacking the capital or building experience to carry out such a project, Masi began looking several years ago for an investor interested in building on his land. However, he found that nonprofit organizations and private companies wouldn’t seriously consider the property until
he had the needed water rights, “Everyone said come back and see us when you have water shares,” he said. Masi has already purchased four shares from Water District 19 in the past, and earlier this year he was issued three more shares that he must purchase by September to secure. When Water District 19 issues shares, customers have 30 days to officially accept them and 120 days after that to purchase them or lose the shares and the spot on the waiting list. Water shares cost more than $10,650 each, and Masi now has until October to accept and purchase the 18 additional shares for a total of 25. At his home at the mobile home park last week, Masi said he hadn’t found a developer for the project but he felt optimistic. With water shares in hand, he’s been working quickly and getting back in touch with potential partners, and an affordable housing developer based in Redmond called Shelter Resources has shown interest. “I’m persistent about it. ... To me, this place has so much potential,” he said. “It could really be an asset to the community.” Masi has discussed his property with Vashon Household, but the type of housing that the nonprofit typically builds, subsidized housing for low-income families, simply wouldn’t pencil out there, he said. Instead, he’s interested in creating what he calls workforce housing, for single workers or families that may not be considered low income but struggle to find housing they can afford on Vashon. He considers his mobile home park to be workforce housing, and he has imagined bringing in additional pre-fabricated homes, but said he also is open to whatever investors might have in mind. “My goal is to be able to stay on the land and

get a small income based on the value of the land,” he said. Water District 19 keeps a long waiting list of people interested in purchasing water shares but only occasionally releases shares. In the last three years, the district has released 45 shares, not including the recent batch. There are 43 people remaining on the waiting list, in line for about 135 shares. The district agreed to release 20 shares at its June 9 meeting after a recent report showed what board chair Richard Bard called a substantial surplus in water. The surplus comes as the agency has been gradually changing its rates, charging more to customers who use the most water, in an effort to promote conservation. Now, fewer customers are using enough water to reach the highest pricing tiers. “Our pricing system has encouraged people to use less,” Bard said. Jeff Lakin, the district’s general manager, said the surplus is so large that the agency will consider releasing even more shares next year. It held off on releasing additional shares this spring because dry conditions expected this summer could result in higher water use across its service area. The district’s board will reassess after it sees how much water is used during the summer months. “What our peak day is this year will tell us what we’ll be doing next year,” Lakin said. Lakin said the district will soon consider ways to further encourage conservation as it begins the process of updating its comprehensive water system plan. As part of the update, the district is also required to consider whether it could bring on new wells or water sources. A draft plan is due in about a year and a half. “We’ll have to wrangle the subject, propose ideas and how they might be funded,” he said.

to Talk M
y parents never had “the talk” with me. I learned about sex from magazines and fumbling teenage boys. There was a horrifying incident when my father confronted me about a bunch of used condoms in my bathroom wastebasket. Mortified, I couldn’t bring myself to explain the truth, that my girlfriends and I had purchased them late one night along with a jar of oversized “Moby Dill” pickles and laughed hysterically as we swung them at each other, briny spermicidal lubricant flying. There was a disturbing incident when my mom scolded me after a friend saw me at the county fair “acting provocatively.” But there was never any discussion about healthy sexuality, just an awkward, red-faced confrontation and one curt effort at slut shaming. This is what I remember about Sex Ed from school: -In seventh grade, our PE teacher answered questions scribbled on slips of paper. She scratched her head earnestly about what it meant to “tea-bag” someone while a group of boys snickered and tried to demonstrate how to insert a menstrual cup with her wristwatch. -In high school, a boy named Cedric fainted and fell right out of his desk at the sight of a model uterus. Unfortunately my experience isn’t unusual based on what I’ve encountered in working with island teens. Most alarmingly, they seem genuinely confused about consent. I’ve worked with teens who didn’t realize they’d been raped, assuming that their unheeded “NOs” just made them “prudes.” They think that acting or dressing a certain way voids sexual autonomy. If you read this and identify with my parents, send your kids to our new Teen Centre. I’m happy to talk to them. I’ve learned a lot since my pickle swinging days.

Technology works best in my dreams
Vashon can work to combat trend in volunteerism
Do you know what a Luddite is? I didn’t. I assumed it’s how you ordered a Bud Light when you’ve had too many. Since I’ve been called one often enough, I thought I’d better find out the meaning of the word. The original meaning for a Luddite was a 19th-century textile worker who protested the introduction of power looms that would put them out of a job. Many think the term comes from Ned Ludd, who beat the crap out of a couple of knitting machines in 1779. I can well appreciate his frustration. I went all Luddite on a fax machine not too long ago. We see this phenomenon today with the robot replacing the auto worker or the Roomba replacing people who sweep floors (except in my case where the floors just never got swept until I got a Roomba). I would consider myself Luddite-lite. I am not opposed to new technology. In fact, I have invented some pretty amazing gizmos. Like in college when I bought a teeny, tiny backpack at an Army/ Navy surplus store and put my 7-pound cassette recorder inside. Then I attached some crazy dictation headphones that looked like a stethoscope and voila, the first Walkman. I could ride my bike for almost 45 minutes listening to my favorite tunes before I had to replace the four D-cell batteries. As we all know, the Sony Corporation usurped my idea and changed forever how we listen to music. I have written a strongly worded letter to Sony and expect them to cave in to my demands any day. While I am reticent to charge into the newest technology — I am still using a rotary phone until this smartphone fad catches on — I was quick to jump on the
Volunteerism is big on Vashon, where there are countless nonprofits that rely on donated labor and islanders frequently field requests to lend a hand. At Vashon’s fire department, volunteers play a different but vital role: they respond to medical emergencies and fires, saving lives, transporting people to the hospital and sometimes putting out fires. It’s a model that works, and on our small island, it means neighbors helping neighbors. For years, however, Vashon Island Fire & Rescue (VIFR) has needed more local volunteers. And there’s no question that more people should step up — it’s clearly an important cause. But VIFR should also take a page from local nonprofits and consider boosting its outreach efforts. It has long been known that staff at Vashon Island Fire & Rescue work hard but can be stretched thin. Responders can typically handle a first and second emergency call. But when calls come in clusters, as they sometimes do, a third medical emergency in a row can be challenging to handle. Ferry transports take staff away and also make it tough to respond, as do larger fires. So far, VIFR officials haven’t felt that hiring additional staff is necessary. And doing so would likely mean raising taxes, something residents might not support. Expanding VIFR’s volunteer force, however, would assure that every call on Vashon gets a good response in a reasonable amount of time. Vashon’s department isn’t alone in its struggle to find and keep volunteers. Across the country, the number of volunteer firefighters has dwindled. On our island, the large number of commuters and two-income households, as well as the aging population, may contribute to a shrinking volunteer pool. And because of changes made to improve VIFR’s volunteer system, volunteer staff are now asked to do more than they used to. Indeed, volunteering for VIFR, whether as an EMT, firefighter or both, is a big job that requires training and a significant time commitment. Not everyone can do it, and not everyone is cut out for it. But the station would likely reach more potential volunteers if it explored more ways to get the word out. The Beachcomber, for instance, didn’t hear about the need for volunteers through an event, a press release or a prominent note on VFIR’s website. We called and asked, an inquiry that led to this week’s front-page story. The paper wrote about this issue in 2010, as well, but the need is still there. VIFR officials say they’d like to increase their outreach on Vashon, and perhaps local groups such as VashonBePrepared could lend a hand. VIFR is in the beginning stages of a strategic planning process to determine what level of service Vashon residents want and if changes should be made in order to provide more service. It’s quite possible one suggested change will be to grow the volunteer force. Such a request should be accompanied by a clear plan for reaching and recruiting islanders. Otherwise, our fire department will find itself in the same place in another five years.

to also acknowledge the contributions of two other organizations that were integral to the joint exercise on June 14. Equestrian CERT is a companion, but separate, organization to Vashon CERT, and its members (both horses and riders) undertake additional training beyond the standard CERT training. Vashon’s Equestrian CERT team is counted as a separate emergency response asset by King County, and we are very fortunate to have this unique and highly qualified group on our island. Vashon Auxiliary Communication Service (ACS) provided radio communications for the June 14 event. Vashon ACS includes the island’s Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) and provides communications services through radio, Wi-Fi and other means during emergencies, drills and community events. The group of licensed ham radio operators is growing on the island, continuously improving our ability to communicate during an emergency, including contacting off-island resources. CERT, Equestrian CERT and ACS always welcome new members and are great ways to be involved in emergency preparedness. The next opportunity to learn about ACS is this weekend at Sunrise Ridge. The Vashon Radio Club will set up two radio trailers and operate all weekend, making long-distance radio contacts around the world during national Field Day, which involves more than 35,000 radio amateurs in the U.S. and Canada — all on the air simultaneously. We encourage anyone with a curiosity or interest in ham radio to stop by Sunrise Ridge on Saturday or
Sunday morning to hear voices from around the world, or even get on the air. — Michael Meyer, Mark Ellison-Taylor and Sharon Danielson Vashon Auxiliary Communication Service

Beloved dog was friendly to others We were very sorry to hear that Howard, the beloved guide dog of Lost Lake, is no longer with us (Paid obituary, June 17). He appeared for most of our hikes there. We’d find him lounging around on 280th, or he’d find us somewhere on the trail. He’d come over for a pat and then get right down to business, leaving us for someone else if we were too slow or going in the wrong direction. We never met his people, although we looked a couple of times. What a sweet dog. We’ll miss him. — Henry and Carrie Perrin

Dear Vashon PIE community, We have reached the end of the school year, and again our students have benefitted from your open hearts and generous gifts. This year, we received more materials that assist students in strengthening their hand muscles (such as Theraputty) and materials which facilitate fine motor control when they are writing or drawing (such as pencil grips and another specialized pencil tool which they all love). This has provided opportunity for handing out pencil grips to teachers who have multiple students who need them. We have also added to our collection of sensory tools which gives many of our students an outlet for managing their sensory needs. This allows them to participate in their academics to their greatest potential, many times while remaining in their general education classrooms. These tools are used by all students who need them, those who have special education services and those students who don’t, but still have sensory needs. The equipment which was ordered for joint OT and PT student use included a hugely needed small trampoline, another visual-motor target game, a greatly needed small basketball which fits in our basketball hoop, a wobble board, and knobby walking blocks. Our small trampoline had bit the dust years ago (and we were borrowing the preschool teacher’s tramp until they needed it returned). The students just love variety of course, so another game for target toss is always motivating. This one is a tic tack toe Velcro game. The basketball replaced our old one which had passed on, previously borrowed from the gym. Now we have our very own! The wobble board is really great for our youngest students, three to five years old for working on balance. The
knobby walking blocks hook together something like a Brio Train set, so this can give the students great opportunities for working on visualization skills, sequencing, motor planning and of course balance and truck strengthening work. So, thank you, thank you to our generous PIE community, as you continue to assist our students in reaching their potential, in our general and special education classes. Nan Van Putten (OT), and Dyan Prouse, (PT)
Happy Planting! The Supported Learning Center (SLC) and Learning Resource Center (LRC) at VHS would like to thank our generous sponsors for their contributions to our horticulture program and for their ongoing support of student learning. Our second annual plant sale was a huge success and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you to ACE Hardware, Island Lumber, Vashon Thriftway, McConkey and Co, Robinwood Nursery and from all the students, mentors and staff of the SLC and LRC. We would also like to thank all of the wonderful community members and VISD staff for coming out and supporting our program. Hope to see you again next year!

Bench in the woods honors late islander On the morning of Saturday, June 13, a quiet gathering of a dozen people surrounded a new bench in the Burton woods. They gathered in memory of Samantha Burkart, who died there two years ago. The materials for the bench came from a fundraiser held more than a year ago. George Wright, a local artist, volunteered her time to build a metal piece designed from Burkart’s artwork. John Burke, Vashon High School woodshop teacher, put the bench together with wood, and he recruited some students to help as well. The message, “Be silent! Listen to the Earth,” is carved into the back of the bench.

By Chris Austin With this year’s summer solstice behind us the time grows nigh for our Strawberry Festival which strikes me as a good opportunity to take a look at its history. Festivals celebrating food are nothing new of course and many small towns promote their local specialty. For instance, while bicycling through the East Coast I saw a float being prepared for “Miss Crustacean.” Miss Crustacean? I bet that is one of those honors you smile, say thank you and never speak of it again. Then there’s the famous Miss Garlic of Gilroy California. I am sure she is a wonderful person to talk with but only at arm’s length. Fruit festivals are generally safe for would-be winners, as in oranges, apples or tomatoes (technically it’s a fruit). Melons get a little dicey. A Miss Cantaloupes could well be taken for an exotic dancer. Our Strawberry Festival actually started out as simply the Vashon Island Fair in 1901. It wasn’t until 1912 that it became known by its current name. A festival guide from 1915 revealed some interesting items. Extra boats would be coming from Tacoma and Seattle to facilitate extra passengers. At today’s festival the WSF helps out by almost running on time. About a third of the guide was devoted to listing members of the reception and executive committees. Something, no doubt, approved by the Member Listing Committee. Noted under the Executive Committee were two odd and ominous tid-bits. The first said, “Let the fellow that remained at home do your worrying” and the second said, “Don’t let the police get you: we haven’t a jail and are compelled to drown unruly subjects.” At least the fellow who remained at home wasn’t worried about getting drowned! Competitive events were a mainstay of the gala. Included was a tug-of-war between the Seattle and Tacoma Rotary Clubs. The Seattle and Tacoma yacht clubs battled it out and the “winner keeps his boat, also loser his.” There would also be a baseball game between Seattle and Tacoma Commercial Clubs with the “loser to be in disgrace.” It seems people of Seattle and Tacoma came here less to celebrate strawberries than to find a neutral playing ground. Foot races were a prominent activity of the day. The men’s 100-yard dash had a first prize of an amber Meerschaum cigar holder. If you won this race you should enter the sack race because its first prize was a box of Carabana cigars. Races were very inclusive with several devoted to fat people. The Fat Men’s race was only 75 yards and the winner got a silver mounted cane - if you can run 75 yards you probably don’t need a cane. The Fat Ladies’ race was a mere 50 yards and offered a hand embroidered soft pillow to the fleetest. I am thinking that might get a bit awkward at the sign-in desk, “Will you be running in the Ladies’ or Fat Ladies’ race?” The sedentary attendee could watch Stromer “The Air Man” as he gave exhibitions all day long in his flying jitney, a bi-plane. Feeling a bit peckish? Enjoy berries and cream which were served from noon until they were all gone. And if Johnson’s Military Band got you in a toe tapping mood there was dancing to be had at the Bay View Pavilion until 4:00 PM. At 3:00 PM the entertainment was provided by Congressman Lin H. Hadley, Mayor Hiram C. Gill, the presidents of both the Seattle and Tacoma Commercial Clubs, “and other spellbinders will be heard.” I don’t know about you, but I have never been held spellbound by listening to an elected official unless they were under oath. My guess is these talks were a series of stem winders used to subtly urge folks to go home. Stay tuned for next week when the Strawberry Festival gets downright peachy.

Goat, addiction counselor vie for unofficial mayor Islanders can still throw their hats in the ring By NATALIE MARTIN Staff Writer
With about three weeks left until the Strawberry Festival, two contenders are taking part in a festival tradition and running for unofficial mayor of Vashon. Joe Thieme, a retired drug counselor active in several island causes, is running in support of Rj’s Kids, while a pet goat named Bandit is running on behalf of Vashon Youth Baseball & Softball (VYBS). The unofficial mayor contest began in 2001, when the chamber of commerce and the Eagles club resurrected the tradition as part of the Strawberry Festival. Candidates compete by raising money for their favorite charities, with dollars counting as votes. In recent years, those elected as unofficial mayor have attended community events such as ribbon cuttings and even made mock mayoral proclamations. Bandit, a goat belonging to islanders Henry and Carrie Perrin, was the first to announce his candidacy this year, doing so clad in a baseball jersey at VYBS’s opening day ceremonies in April. Henry Perrin, whose son went through VYBS and now plays high school baseball, said that his family believes the club is a good cause. And since animals have run for mayor in the past, they thought Bandit would be a good candidate. VYBS, one of Vashon’s oldest youth sports organizations, provides baseball and softball teams for children ages 4 to 14. “Along the way, kids learn about hard work, sportsmanship and how to be a good teammate,” said VYBS board
Bandit the Goat member Cheryl Pruett in a press release. Any money raised by Bandit will go to support VYBS’s scholarship fund. “It provides financial assistance to kids who might not otherwise be able to play,” Perrin said. As for Bandit, Perrin said the 2- or 3-year old goat is a baseball fan and has only one horn, which makes him look kind of like a unicorn. He and some of his pasturemates, including sheep and a llama, will be available to meet the public at a petting zoo-like event this Saturday during Kite Day. Look for the sign for the along Point Robinson Road. While Bandit knows his way around a pasture, his opponent boasts experience far beyond Vashon’s meadows. Thieme has been a drug and alcohol addiction counselor since 1986, working for the state of Washington, the Puyallup Tribe, Sea Mar Community Health Centers and King County. Thieme is in long-term recovery himself and said he has a passion for helping others, particularly young people, through addiction and hard times. “It’s about helping people get where they need to go,” he said. Thieme has lived on Vashon for five years and is on the board of the Vashon Alliance to Reduce Substance Abuse (VARSA) as well as an off-island organization that offers
Joe Thieme a mental health education program. He is a member of and volunteer for the Vashon Senior Center and has been involved in the Suicide Hope Initiative (SHIne). “I am blessed because I see all these opportunities to help our youth,” he said. Thieme is running in support of Rj’s Kids, a nonprofit created in response to recent suicides among teens and young adults on Vashon. The money raised by Thieme will help send island youth to a horse training therapy program this summer. Thieme said that while he hopes to win, the most important things is that both candidates raise money for good causes. “If the old goat wins, that’s good,” he said. “If the older goat wins, that’s great, too.” Look for candidates’ donation jars around town. Vashon residents can still run for unofficial mayor. For more information, see vashonchamber.com.

Dancers step in time to classic modern fairy tale By JULI GOETZ MORSER Staff Writer
The supercalifragilisticexpialidocious magic of “Mary Poppins,” the classic Disney movie based on P.L. Travers novels, will be danced to life by Vashon Dance Academy students this weekend at the Vashon High School theater. Over 20 umbrellas and kites, 30 chimney-sweep brooms plus a life-size spinning carousel — these are just some of the props that will adorn the sets of “Mary Poppins,” produced by Dance! Vashon, a nonprofit that supports Vashon Dance Academy. “We laughingly call it ‘Mary Proppins’ because of the number of props involved,” said Julie Gibson, VDA ballet teacher and co-choreographer with artistic director Cheryl Krown. Krown, whose productions often feature surprising and humorous elements such as a real dog or references to Vashon’s ferries, typically selects classic children stories for her students to perform, from “Peter Pan” to “Aladdin,” “The Wizard of Oz” to “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” While “Mary Poppins” is a perennial favorite, it ended up posing some interesting challenges — and creative responses — for Krown and her crew. “‘Mary Poppins’ is such an adventure,” Krown said. “There is no ballet music, and all the Disney songs have lyrics, so we used just about everything — including Pink Floyd — but there was nothing as good as the original for ‘Let’s Go Fly a Kite’ and ‘Step in Time.’ There’s a little musical theater element in this production we’ve never done before, and the kids like it.” Krown produced her first show on Vashon in 1996, and in keeping with her long-held tradition, she tries to choose a vehicle that showcases her senior dancers. Sarah Raymond and Charlotte Schoen will be sharing the role of Mary Poppins, while Lilianna Herrington will dance as Mrs. Banks, as will Silvia Henley, though she is not a senior. Krown also involves her students in choreography and character development. “The kids will say, ‘In our version…’ and that makes

Vashon Dance Academy will perform “Mary Poppins” this weekend at the Vashon High School theater. them own it,” Krown said. “They help create the characters. We guide it and have the final say.” With the main roles assigned, Krown and Gibbons then had to figure out what roles to assign to the rest of the 100 dancers, from little kids up to the juniors in high school. Gibbons said they had the most fun creating characters. “What do you do with 100 other kids?” Gibbons said. “You create the dance of the nannies, the birds, penguins, old bankers, toys, the sidewalk drawings and the rain
that washes them away, sugar — danced by the little kids — and money, performed en pointe to Pink Floyd’s ‘Money.’” In the dance academy’s version, Mrs. Banks embodies the role of Mr. Banks from the movie. She focuses too much on her work, on making money and doesn’t spend time with her children, Krown said. With Mary Poppins’ help, she learns it’s not all about business but about having fun with her children. Krown said past productions always had an evil character, while in this show “the evil is internal.” Another character with a message is the Old Bird Woman danced by Amelia Wilke. “She’s poor and good and the kids like her, but the mom tells them not to give their money to her,” Krown said. “She’s a symbol of someone who doesn’t have anything but who is perfectly happy with her existence.” Like Mary Poppins, Krown knows how to sprinkle a bit of magic herself. She understands the power of inclusivity. Parents jumped in to help with set building, sewing costumes and, in a long-held custom, the dads will perform on stage, much to the delight of the students. Krown also understands the magic of a basic tenet that applies to life both within the walls of the dance academy and beyond. “I tell my students you have to be respectful to the art of dance, to yourself and each other.”Krown said. “That covers everything. Whatever your day was, I tell them to check it at the door so they always have this neutral space and remind them you have to be kind to each other.”
“Mary Poppins” will run at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 1:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Vashon High School theater. Tickets are $15 for adults and $11 for children and sold at Vashon Bookshop and brownpapertickets.com. Reducedprice tickets are offered during dress rehearsals at 6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. Tickets are $10 and $7 and available only at the door.
Garden Tour blooms this weekend This weekend will kick off Vashon Allied Arts’ 25th annual Garden Tour. In celebration of Vashon’s abundant and diverse gardens, the tour this year will include a vineyard and agricultural farm along with three unique gardens. Amy and Joseph Bogaard’s Hogsback Farm once played a significant role in Vashon’s historic strawberry production when it was owned by Tok Otsuka. Today, the 13-acre farm is planted with organic vegetables and fruits sold at its self-serve farmstand. Edna and James Dam’s verdant garden slops down a hillside with paths that lead to a woodland ravine. The Dams created a wildlife friendly garden, an English-style long grass meadow, a small vineyard and a labyrinth made with moss-covered logs. Sue and Scott DeNies’ Madrona Meadows features a large vegetable garden, multiple flower beds, a wooded trail through a mature forest of madronas and Douglas firs, a pond and post and beam barn designed by local craftsman Frederic Brillant. Anita Halstead and Kelly Robinson’s storybook garden in historic Dockton surrounds their turn-of-the century craftsman house. Set among the lush gardens is a whimsical 30-foot boxwood topiary, a giant chessboard and geometric stone labyrinth. Jan and Bill Riley own Maury Island Winery, a true local terroir of pinot noir, pinot gris and pinot précoce grapes from 1,600 plants on the hillside by their house. Bill will give two talks Saturday and Sunday at noon about Northwest winemaking and discoveries he’s made as a vintner. Like last year, the Garden Art Market will be open to the public, held on the lawn in front of Puget Sound Energy on Vashon Highway. The market will include an array of Seattle-area artists and vendors selling tile, jewelry, textiles, woodwork, soap and sculpture, as well as plants and garden tools. Artwork created by island artists will be exhibited in gardens and available for sale. The art will include Penny Grist’s mosaic sculpture, David Blad’s ceramic tile, Mike Urban’s metal sculpture, Brian Brenno’s fused glass, Barbara Wells’ glass/bronze and steel sculpture and Alex Echevarria’s mosaic statuary. Gardening seminars, led by specialists, will be held on both days. Tickets are $25 and are valid on both days. Tickets may be purchased at the Blue Heron, Heron’s Nest and vashonalliedart.org. Proceeds benefit Vashon Allied Arts.

Author illuminates the art of sanctuary
Solo show rises from the ashes

Author and landscape designer Terry Hershey’s cedar-shake house sits like an island surrounded not by water but by lush gardens blooming with old English roses below a canopy of Douglas firs. It’s an oasis of calm, a visual treat for the eye, a balm for the soul and a perfect example of sanctuary, the title and subject of Hershey’s latest book, “Sanctuary: Creating a Space for Grace in Your Life.” Hershey knows firsthand about the frenetic pace of the 21st century. An inspirational speaker, Hershey crisscrosses the country giving talks to healthcare and social workers, educators and church congregations. He also listens to their struggles with the stress of modern life. “How do we nourish and replenish ourselves?” Hershey said. “We need reminders to let our soul catch up with our body. We need to create space for that. It’s what this book is about.” Hershey first found sanctuary when he moved to Vashon from Orange County 27 years ago. A practicing minister, Hershey instinctively knew the pace of life in Southern California held no nourishment for him. Once on Vashon, he fell in love with gardening. He found his sanctuary. “I breath differently here,” Hershey said. “Everything is calibrated differently as it is in sanctuary. So I live in my garden. Gardens are visceral; they involve all the senses and literally ground us.” Hershey, who has designed over 60 Vashon gardens, finds most people don’t
Remember the adage it’s not what happens to you, but how you react that matters? Never mind that the maxim hails from the Greek philosopher Epictetus, it’s a truth many live by and none more so than performance artist Mik Kuhlman. In her latest solo act, “House #30,” Kuhlman transforms a life-altering, Vashon-based event into living art. The new show will open at Seattle’s West of Lenin Theater on Thursday, June 25. Many islanders know Kuhlman, who divides her time between Vashon and New York City, as a former member of UMO, an actress, writer and theater educator. She’s also a solo artist who until now performed works based upon the universal instead of the personal. “This is the first time I’m going from the personal to the universal. I’ve always been an interpreter, not an autobiographical artist. That’s a whole other beast,” Kuhlman said. A beast of burden? Perhaps. But after a recent chat with Kuhlman, 53, whose sparkling blue eyes and pixie-like energy belie her age, a phoenix rising from the ashes comes to mind. Kuhlman’s show is about the meaning of home and her haunted Vashon house that burned down in 2000. At least that’s what she believed it was about when she premiered a version two years ago through Vashon Allied Arts’ New Works series. “I thought it was about how I found ‘home’ in the rubble, in the ashes of my

Words like calm and tranquil translate into curvy paths that weave through enclosed areas. Bold or stunning demand something else. Hershey uses the same idea when he helps others create sanctuary. He calls the way into a sanctuary a portal, explaining the notion with surprising examples. “Portals put you in a different frame of mind,” Hershey said. “A cat can be a portal or a tea ceremony. We leave something behind and enter (a portal) to do something else. A ferry is a portal.” With a tip of his hat to Vashon, Hershey said he thinks residents — as stewards of their homes and gardens and of the island — understand the notion of sanctuary and the purpose it holds for us. Hershey writes: “Sanctuary is a dose of grace. Sanctuary space bestows upon us gifts — stillness, gladness, calm, mystery, delight and peacefulness. ... Sanctuary begins when we stop and embrace what is already here....” Hershey will read at 6 p.m. Thursday, June 25, at the Vashon Bookshop.

It’s about what lies underneath that’s the story.” While “House #30” began on Vashon, it matured in New York with help from Kuhlman’s director Jennifer Jasper and sound designer Michael Keck. Vashon visual designer Patricia Toovey was Kuhlman’s first collaborator and remains a constant influence. “She’s a genius textile artist,” Kuhlman said. “Patricia built a silk house that becomes a character.” “House #30” is described as being filled with island lore, ghost stories, physicality, humor and heart. And while Kuhlman said she can’t give away the ending — though it’s ultimately about “the mysteries in life, the beautiful strings tied in ways we don’t understand” — she did promise a memorable experience. “You will want to laugh and cry; you’ll be spooked and moved,” Kuhlman said. “It’s a full meal and a nice ride.” Tickets are sold at house30.org. The show runs through Monday, June 29.

VHS track and field team bestows awards By KEVIN ROSS For The Beachcomber

The Chili Peppers took second this year in the West Seattle League.
Softball teams sees success over the years The Chili Peppers softball team recently finished its season with a 12-2 record, traveling from Sultan to Bellevue, as well as taking second place in the West Seattle League. “It has been an honor to watch these girl become young ladies, excelling in softball. Their drive, skill and love of the game amazed and impressed me,” said coach Desiree Nelson. “The experiences we have had, team dinners, bake sales, field trips to Husky softball games and team camping trips will be memories that will last a lifetime.” Nelson has deep roots with this team and noted she started her coaching career with Vashon Youth Baseball & Softball in the spring of 1995, even though she did not have any children at the time. She coached on and off until spring 2008 when her daughter Ravenna was old enough to play. In 2010, Nelson said she added her sister
Ryan Logan and fellow parent and friend Ellie Kuyper to the coaching staff. In 2011, they coached a coed machine pitch team, with half of the players being girls and friends of Nelson’s daughter and the other half boys and friends of her son. “The girls had such a bond we did want to break them up,” she said. In 2012, they created the Chili Peppers and entered the West Seattle Girls Fast Pitch League as a 10U team. They have had several successes. In 2012, the Chili Peppers took the championship in 12U, Nelson said, and in 2014 they entered a United States Specialty Sports fast pitch tournament, where they placed second. Now, with 11 of the 12 players being eighth graders, Nelson said she is looking forward to their future high school careers.
The Vashon High School track and field program recently held its annual awards banquet. Receiving honors for first team all Nisqually League from the Pirate girls’ team was Emily Browne in the triple jump. Three VHS girls received honors for second team all Nisqually League: Eva Anderson in the 800 meters. Annika Hille in both the 100 and 200 meters and Natalie VanDevanter in the discus event. The 2015 team captains were Emily Browne, Aaron Kitchener and Mason Carter. As voted by all the VHS track and field athletes, the following awards were given. For the boys’ team, the most improved award went to Gerry Gerrior. Both the most inspirational and the most valuable player (MVP) award went to Mason Carter. On the girls’ team, the most improved award went to Anna Ryckman. The most inspirational award was presented to Emily Brown, and the team MVP award went to Annika Hille. Browne, Hille and Eva Anderson also represented the Pirates in the WIAA 1A state track and field meet held at Eastern Washington University. Two school records were broken this season by Annika Hille in the 200 meters with a time of 26.0, which she set at the Tacoma Invitational meet on April 11. The previous records were held by Shawn Lane with a 26.50 in 1978, when it was the 220-yard dash. Kalie Kirschener had the previous best time of 26.60 for the 200-meter dash in 1994. Kat Andrus also set a school record in the triple jump on April 16 during a league meet at Charles Wright with a mark of 36, feet 6 inches. Kay Stephens had the previous mark at 35 feet, 7 inches, in 2001. Head coach Marcella Murphy, who has left the Vashon Island School District at the close of the year, was also recognized. She was voted the Nisqually League girls team coach of the year. — Kevin Ross is an assistant track coach for the high school team.
The Beachcomber office will be closed on Friday, July 3rd, in observance of the 4th of July holiday.

VOLUNTEERS CONTINUED FROM 1
he said, which means that there would always be two volunteers on duty. Now that is happening only 68 percent of the time, he noted, even though it is not unusual for the department to field three calls at once. “On that third call, I have nobody left,” he said, adding that they turn then to volunteers and off-duty staff. “What I have to have is depth.” An additional benefit to local volunteers is that they may serve longer than off-island volunteers, who typically want a career in the field, Brown said, and leave after two or three years. Volunteer Brigitte Brown has been an EMT for 30 years, but took a break to raise her children. She rejoined the department in 2011, she said, because of VIFR’s staffing needs. “I don’t think this island realizes how thin we can get on calls,” she said. She typically works one shift a week and responds to other calls when needed; she credits the work with keeping her sharp and in touch with fellow islanders. “It is a wonderful way to use your brain and apply your skills,” she said. Much about the work is enjoyable, she added, but she acknowledged a flip side, as well. “It can break your heart,” she said. “But the neat thing is you did something. It is so rewarding when you have helped with something difficult in someone’s life or eased someone’s suffering.” And, she said, many people can become a good EMT. “Being an EMT is not rocket science,” she said. “The majority of people I have met from CERT could easily take it a step further and get certified as an EMT.” Volunteer EMTs spend three months training off-island on Wednesday evenings and all day Saturdays, a program offered through King County and paid for by VIFR, said
Gary Carl McKinney Beloved friend and longtime island resident Gary Carl McKinney, age 67, passed away peacefully at his residence on Sunday, June 14, 2015. He was born in Long Beach, California, on November 15, 1947, and served in the U.S. Air Force in Thailand. He is survived by his two sisters, Bobbie and Becky, and many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews along with all his wonderful island friends. Gary loved living on Vashon and talked often of his appreciation for being here. He enjoyed walking the many trails, jazz music and attending concerts. He also loved Saturday Market, First Fridays and frequenting the many fabulous island restaurants. He always had a smile and kind word for everyone he met. Gary was a talented woodworker, artist and musician. His terrific sense of humor, gentle nature and welcoming smile will long be remembered and greatly missed. A memorial for Gary will be held on Sunday, July 26th at 3 pm, in the field with the gazebo in front of the Brown Agency at Vashon Village. In lieu of flowers, donations in Gary’s name may be made to Vashon Youth and Family Services or the Vashon Food Bank.

Ross Copland, the department’s recruit and retention coordinator. Students learn basic life support skills, such as how to deal with broken bones, use an automated external defibrillator (AED) and care for wounds. When beginning with the department, volunteers work for three months in the Red Shirt program, first riding along, then assisting and finally running calls on their own. Volunteers are required to work at least three 12-hour shifts a month or nine shifts a quarter and participate in continuing education, typically scheduled for Monday evenings. While there is strong support for new volunteers, Copland added that not all people make it through. “We have high expectations of what to do and how progress is supposed to be,” he said. “Whether paid or volunteer, the standards are the same.” Putting in the time is essential to developing strong skills, Copland stressed, noting that he would prefer volunteers put in more time than the minimum shifts required. “Every single call you go on is different, and you are always learning,” he said. Both for training and team-building purposes, he said he would also prefer that on-island volunteers work their daytime shifts at the station. Islanders with flexible schedules may choose to participate in VIFR’s resident program, which requires rotations of 24- or 48-hour shifts, Copland added, and provides a fixed monthly stipend. Lieutenant Rick Brown is currently part of that program. A longtime volunteer with VIFR, he moved to that position in December. He has been an EMT for 16 years, he said, and even after all that time, this position has improved his skills because he sees considerably more patients. “Repetition, seeing patients is the only way to keep your skills high,” he added. With either volunteer path, the time commitment is a serious one. Volunteer Charlie Krimmert, an architect who works off-island, is a lieutenant with the department and serves as a firefighter/EMT. He likens his volunteer role to a second job and noted it can be taxing for families. Because of other volunteer commitments, he did not work many shifts recently, so this month, he is working seven to catch up. Some volunteers, however, say they have been able to fit volunteering into their schedules more easily, including Ken Jackson, who has a family with two young children and runs an ad agency from his home. He attests to just how often his services are needed. In first two weeks of June, he

responded four times because paid staff were on other calls. Last month, he said, it was a little more than that. “For me, the biggest way I can impact my fellow islanders is to show up and assist,” he said. He added that he does his shifts from the station. “The people are awesome up there,” he said. “It is a great place to go spend some time.” While EMTs are the most in demand, firefighters are also needed, Copland said, noting they respond to house, brush, car and power line fires, as well as to hillside rescues and vehicle extrications. Like with EMTs, VIFR pays for firefighter training, sending volunteers for three months of weekend training in North Bend or Tacoma. The training is hot and intense, Copland said, but once part of the VIFR program, firefighter volunteers do not have to sign up for shifts, though they are expected to respond if called and are required to attend additional training throughout the year. Without more volunteers, a large fire — or natural disaster — would tax the district, many say. “At the best of times, we have six volunteers that can drive fire trucks,” Krimmert said. “In a massive landslide, six to 14 guys are not going to go very far very fast.” Potential volunteers with limited time might choose to learn how to drive and operate the department’s water tenders and be responsible for bringing water to a fire and correct operations once the vehicles are there. “It’s a really important position,” Copland said. “It is really the backbone of the fire scene operation.” The program to become one of these support volunteers includes independent study and practical training with the department, he added. VIFR is working on a strategic plan to carry the district forward, George Brown added, and it will soon be seeking community feedback to find out exactly what level of service residents want from the department. For now and the foreseeable future, though, volunteers will be vital to VIFR’s role and its ability to respond to the community’s needs. “The whole premise of a fire department is insurance,” Krimmert said. “ You don’t need them until you really need them.” The application deadline is Tuesday, June 30.

KENNETH JOHN LARSEN Kenneth John Larsen, 58, died June 7, 2015, in Seattle after complications following a surgery. Ken was born to John and Jaqueline in Portland, Oregon, but his heart belonged to Vashon. He was an avid musician, outdoor enthusiast, and beloved educator at Chautauqua Elementary School, where he worked long enough to teach the sons and daughters of his former students. Ken is survived by his sons, Erik and Ryan, his brothers, Steve and Jay, his partner, Susan Rhea, his friends too numerous to list, and an army of the world’s best fifth graders. Memorial donations may be made to Vashon Community Scholarship Foundation at P.O. Box 1413, Vashon, WA 98070 or online at http://www.vashonscholarshipfoundation.org. Alternatively, donate time to your local elementary school.

JELLYFISH CONTINUED FROM 1
being called one of the most advanced displays of its kind. A world-recognized jellyfish expert, Widmer, 45, spent months building an exhibit that can keep a variety of jellyfish and that can constantly evolve to house new species. It will be up for the next three years. “I just want people to be excited about jellyfish,” Widmer said one sunny day this month at the aquarium, just up the street from the Point Defiance ferry dock. “I want them to come and make lifetime memories.” Inside the cavernous and dimly lit aquarium, the exhibit, called Jammin’ with Jellies, currently holds four species hand-picked by the biologist to display the stunning diversity that exists among jellyfish. The Japanese sea nettles, for instance, have blood-orange stripes and billowing, ghost-like tentacles. Baby-blue blubber jellies look like swimming mushrooms as they use stubby tentacles to glide quickly through the water. Next door, a tank holding crystal jellies is one of Widmer’s favorites. Visitors can press a button to send ultraviolet light onto the creatures, causing their bells to glow blue-green. Finally, egg yolk jellies, as their name implies, have bright yellow centers. People can stand on both sides of this tank and take photos with the jellyfish. Just before Jammin’ with Jellies opened last month, Widmer told the Tacoma News Tribune, which produced a video and story on the exhibit, just how challenging the exhibit was to create. Each of the four species requires different conditions to live. “I think everybody’s got a superpower, and my superpower is organizing chaos,” he said. Though zoo-goers might not know it, jellyfish are relatively new to aquariums. The blubbery creatures are highly sensitive and need their water temperature, light and food to be just right to survive. It can also be tricky to build a tank system that doesn’t suck up their delicate bodies, which are more than 95 percent water. “You can’t put them in a traditional tank and expect them to do well,” he said. For that reason, jellyfish have only been kept in captivity for about 25 years. When Widmer came to the Monterey Bay Aquarium in 1999, scientists were still experimenting with how to propagate jellyfish and had even tried putting the creatures through a blender to remove their larvae. “When I began, there were no instructions,” he said. The Monterey aquarium already had biologists in charge of many of its animals, but needed someone to manage the growing jellyfish collection. Widmer stepped up, partly because he was intrigued by jellyfish and partly because he saw opportunity to advance the science surrounding them. “That’s how I got started doing jellies,” he said. “No one else wanted to do it.” And jellyfish seemed to suit him, perhaps because the energetic scientist is a little quirky himself. Last week at Point Defiance, Widmer, clad in a blue zoo hoodie and sporting a long, blond beard, easily explained the complex techniques used to raise jellyfish but also spoke warmly about his “jellies” and was quick to crack jokes. Widmer was behind every aspect of the Jammin’ with Jellies exhibit, from the system that pulls water from Puget Sound, filtering it before sending it back, to the music visitors hear as they look at the jellyfish. He also found some considerable cost savings by building some of the equipment himself and ordering parts from local companies. A system that dumps krill into one of the tanks, for instance, is made using a garden hose timer and an old plastic cookie jar. Some toy gargoyles perched high above the jellyfish tanks are his own personal touch and are there to ward off “bad juju,” he said. Reach

All joking aside, the new exhibit, Widmer said, is considered the most flexible in the world. Unlike other aquariums, conditions in the tanks at Point Defiance can be altered to house new types of jellyfish from anywhere in the world. “I can display any type of jellyfish, from the deep sea to the tropics,” he said. While the aquarium purchased or caught the jellyfish it currently has on display, Widmer hopes to one day propogate all the jellyfish that live in the exhibit. In a room below the main floor of the aquarium, he keeps tanks where some creatures are already growing from the embryonic stages. “I’m a jellyfish farmer,” he said. “A jelly rancher, you could say.” And if anyone could grow jellyfish, it’s him. In Monterey, Widmer became an expert on breeding and caring for jellyfish, publishing papers and eventually compiling what he had learned in the book “How to Keep Jellyfish in Aquariums: An Introductory Guide for Maintaining Healthy Jellies.” It was snatched up by aquariums as well as people interested in keeping jellyfish at home. “I used language everyone could understand and threw in a few years of experience. … Aquariums around the world still use it,” he said. After completing his PhD as a Fulbright Scholar at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where he studied
jellyfish in the U.K., Widmer came to the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. He and his wife Alicia, a marine mammal scientist he met in Monterey, moved to Vashon earlier this year, drawn by the beaches and rural living. On the island, Alicia is now a paraeducator in the special education program at Vashon High School. A few weeks ago, the small class took a field trip to Point Defiance to see the zoo and got a special talk from Widmer about the jellyfish. The students, who studied jellyfish beforehand, took advantage of other fun elements at the exhibit, including donning colorful, life-size jellyfish costumes. “It was a lot of fun,” Alicia said. Widmer now walks on the south-end ferry to the zoo each day and says he and Alicia are embracing island life. He recently participated in the BioBlitz, where volunteers counted nine types of jellyfish off the shore of Maury Island. “This is becoming a home,” he said. At the aquarium, he already has plans to expand Jammin with Jellies, adding additional tanks. And he’ll soon begin doing research to answer the tough questions behind the fun aquarium creatures. In Puget Sound, apparent increases in jellyfish populations have made headlines and alarmed scientists. But like keeping jellyfish in aquariums, studying them in the wild, he said, is largely uncharted territory. “That’s all sky’s the limit. Go for it,” he said.

We’re looking for forever homes! Punky was orphaned when her owner died in December. Friends were trying to care for Punky but she started to wander from her home and she was turned over to VIPP. Punky is a very sweet cat and she gets along with her fellow office mates in the lobby of the shelter. Punky came to VIPP 1/26/15. Pebbles is a sweet gem of a cat. She is a petite cat and most of her size is made up by her fluffy coat. She has a cute stub of a tale which only adds to her charm. Like a little stone soaking up water on the beach, Pebbles soaks up the pets and attention from her admirers at the shelter. She has a really calm disposition and she is unfazed by the other cats in her room. She has perfect house manners to boot. Pebbles came to VIPP on 1/9/15.
Pudge was the tiniest of kittens who turned out to be a very big beautiful boy. Pudge is an independent kind of guy who loves attention and a lap but on his terms. Pudge is afraid of dogs and small kids so he would do best in a home with adults who can give him his space alone when he needs it. He came to VIPP on 3/29/14.
ADOPT A CAT DAY every Saturday 11:30–2:30 at the VIPP Cat Shelter + 12200 SW 243rd St. (off Old Mill Rd.) SOUNDCLASSIFIEDS.COM 1.800.388.2527 Classifieds@soundpublishing.com
