Sea level damage will hit state the hardest A report by the Center for Climate Integrity shows the multibillion-dollar cost of battling back the sea By Aaron Kunkler akunkler@soundpublishing.com

A report released Thursday by the Center for Climate Integrity shows that of all West Coast states, Washington is poised to bear the highest financial burden as it tries to shelter communities from a rising sea driven by climate change. The report found that at a minimum, the U.S. faces more than $400 billion in costs over the next 20 years to defend coastal communities from sea level rise. The work will require more than 50,000 miles of coastal barriers in 22 states, representing at least 10 percent of all climate change adaptation costs to municipalities. However, this is a lowball estimate, according to the report, and would provide protection only for projected sea levels and annual storms. Local planners will likely account for larger storms that have a .01 percent chance of striking any given year, known as 100-year storm events. This means that already costly price estimate will likely be far higher than $400 billion across the country. But on the West Coast, Washington is the most vulnerable, said Richard Wiles, director of the Center for Climate Integrity (CCI) in an email. The report said it would cost around $24 billion to protect the state’s shorelines. “On the West Coast, Washington state stands out as the most costly state, more expensive than California, made See SEA, Page 18

Island landscape architect will remake heart of Paris

By Paul Rowley prowley@vashonbeachcomber.com

slander and landscape architect Kathryn Gustafson is slated to transform the grounds surrounding the Eiffel Tower, culminating with the opening ceremonies of the 2024 summer Olympic games. She will speak at Vashon Center for the Arts on Sunday, July 21 at 4 p.m. about revitalizing 130 heavily trafficked acres in the heart of Paris, creating a pedestrian-only park that links monuments and landmarks with a new greenbelt distinguished by lawns, courtyards, a grass amphitheater and cherry blossom trees. With her office based in London, Gustafson headed the proposal that was later selected by the city of Paris in May, beating out 42 international applicants. The design reorganizes

the traffic pattern around the Trocadéro and adds more fountains in the nearby garden. It removes all cars from the Pont D’Iéna Bridge crossing the Seine River and replaces the road with a green promenade accessible only to emergency vehicles. In a press release, Mayor Anne Hidalgo expressed her enthusiasm about the possibilities. “I want the Eiffel Tower and its surroundings to become a real place for walking and relaxing, especially on weekends for families, and Paris must be a city where you can let go of your child’s hand.” Two new squares on either side of the bridge will welcome visitors and stage events while providing for greater access to the tower, accentuated by new plant life and expanded areas designated for luggage. New restaurants and shops will open

Lecture Tickets are $20 General, $18 Members and $15 for Students/Seniors. They are available for purchase online at bit.ly/2YpwtTx. in the vicinity as access to the Ecole Militaire metro station will be improved, in addition to lighting, security and storm water management throughout the area. The total cost of the overhaul is € 72 million, financed entirely by revenue generated from ticket sales made by the Eiffel Tower Operating Company. The focus of the project is in keeping with the objectives of the 2016 Paris Climate Agreement. In a phone conversation, Gustafson said the design calls for planting more

native vegetation and reduces the number of impermeable surfaces, helping to keep the temperature cooler. She added that it also fits squarely into a plan led by the mayor to expunge motor vehicles from the city, prioritizing the creation of bike lanes and pedestrian spaces while easing congestion. Ultimately, she said, that will make for a better Paris. “I just find it really fascinating how a big city actually functions and what it takes to make 15 million people get along,” she said. Gustafson is no stranger to Paris — or to complex jobs with considerable pressures. She was a member of the landscape design team that took on the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., integrating See PARIS, Page 19

Share concerns about ferry fare proposals

LD ATT SO SE

T ES W

The Washington State Transportation Commission is proposing to increase ferry fares over the next two years. The proposed increase intends to generate $407 million in fare revenue between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2021, as required in the recently passed two-year state transportation budget for Washington State Ferries (WSF) operations. The commission’s proposal includes two ferry fare increases over the next two years and an increase in the current capital surcharge paid on each fare, which will support construction of a new vessel. The commission proposed these increases after considering input from WSF, the Ferry Advisory Committee on Tariffs, and public input gathered through a series of ferry community meetings in April and May 2019. Ferry customers and anyone with an interest in WSF fares are encouraged to voice concerns on the new fare proposal, which would be effective starting this October. The fare increase for

October 2019 will include a 2.5 percent fare increase for vehicles and a 2 percent fare increase for passengers. A reservation no-show fee will be increased up to 100 percent of the one-way fare paid, based on a standard-sized vehicle. The fare increase proposed for May 1, 2020 will include 2.5 percent fare increase for small and standard-sized vehicles, a 2 percent fare increase for passengers and 25-cent increase for the capital surcharge for the construction of a new vessel. The increases will allow WSF to pursue two different potential pilot programs to test changes to fares and fare collection methods which include a low-income fare pilot and a “Good to Go!” program pilot. The low-income pilot would start in 2020, and would test a special passenger fare for low-income customers.

If implemented, the pilot would run for no more than three years. The “Good to Go!” program pilot would test the use of the “Good to Go!” system currently used to collect tolls on highways and bridges, but instead collect ferry fares. If implemented, the pilot would run for up to three years. Final hearing on the fare proposal will be held from 10 a.m. to noon, Tuesday, Aug. 6, at the Puget Sound Regional Council’s Board Room, 1011 Western Ave., Suite 500, Seattle. Public comment will be taken and the commission is expected to vote on the final fare and policy changes at this hearing. Through Monday, July 29, the public is encouraged to provide comments on all of the proposed fare changes. Comments can be provided online at ferryfarecomments.participate.online/, via email at transc@wstc.wa.gov or by regular mail by writing to: Washington State Transportation Commission, P.O.

Barricades block access at Dockton Marina after the piers and breakwater suffered significant structural damage this winter.

The King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks is alerting boaters celebrating the July 4 holiday that the main pier at Dockton Marina is only open for mooring during the day. The floating piers at Docton Marina, including the breakwater and finger piers, are closed to all use until further notice. This comes after significant deterioration occurred as a result of the region’s unusually harsh winter, with multiple freeze-thaw cycles affecting the structural integrity of all but the main dock.

There will be no overnight moorage at the marina this summer. There will be intermittent checks after hours on Thursday by Parks staff according to spokesman Logan Harris. Infrastructure improvements at the marina could be made later this year pending on the outcome of the 2020-2025 King County Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Levy, according to a press release. That will appear on the August 6 ballot. The rest of Dockton Park, including the on-land restrooms, remains open.

Dr. Lauren Chinn to close Vashon office After 25 years of chiropractic practice on Vashon, Dr. Lauren Chinn is announcing the closing of his island office. The last day for the office will be July 16. Dr. Chinn said that he does so with great reticence and sadness. “I need to slow down a little bit and spend more time with family,” he said. After earning his doctorate in 1977, Chinn spent two years working in a family practice setting under the tutelage of his father, Dr. Wilbur Chinn. He then went into solo practice in March of 1980 in Burien. He opened his Vashon clinic in 1994. Dr. Chinn noted that he did look—unsuccessfully— for someone to assume the practice. “There are only a few old-timers who practice the way I do,” he said. Chinn’s postgraduate training included studies in orthopedics, neurology, physical therapy, rehabilitation, massage therapy and myofascial mobilization. “I was unable to find anyone who could continue in the tradition to which my patients’ have become accustomed,” he said. “That is not to say that what I do

is better than anyone else, but it is a peculiar admixture of all of those things that people have come to expect from me.” Chinn will continue working in his Burien office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, for as long as he, and his office manager Patty Murray, are “physically able to do it.” He also said that any of his Vashon patients are welcome to come to his Burien office if they find themselves in the area— all patient records will be retained and available. “I want to thank all of my patients and allied healthcare providers for their support and confidence that they have shown me over the past 25 years,” he said.

King County examines gun violence trends Nearly 77 percent of shooting victims this so far year in county have been people of color By Aaron Kunkler akunkler@soundpublishing.com

Non-fatal shootings in King County are higher in the first half of 2019 when compared to the same time period last year, and are 12 percent higher than the threeyear average. After declining between 2007 and 2010, firearm homicide rates increased again by 2016 to reach the 2000 baseline. At the same time, suicide rates have held steady in the county between 2000 and 2016. Between 2012 and 2016, there were an average of 106 suicides and 37 murders that involved firearms in King County. Data from both the King County Pprosecutor’s Office and Public Health were shared at a meeting on June 25 as members of the Law and Justice Committee tried to get a clearer picture of gun violence in King County. Dan Carew with the prosecutor’s

office said that between Jan. 1 and May 31, 2019, there had been a 35 percent increase in non-fatal shootings compared to the same period in 2018. Firearms homicides remained roughly the same. Nearly half of all shooting victims were younger than 25, and so far this year, some 77 percent of victims in King County were people of color. Additionally, 85 percent of shooting victims have been male. During that time period, there were 341 total shots fired. These numbers do not include several high-profile local shootings that have come since May 31, including two that happened on June 23 in Bellevue. Firearm shooting incidents have generally been moving farther south into communities in South King County — and North Highline, Burien and Kent had the highest rates of firearms homicides. Around one-third of guns used in any type of shooting incidents have been linked to other

shootings, Carew said. Myduc Ta with Public Health said their data showed that between 2012 and 2016, black residents in the county are 15 times more likely to be homicide victims than white residents. Black residents experienced homicides at a rate of 12.5 per 100,000 people, with the next highest demographic being Hispanic residents at 1.9 per 100,000. Additionally, high poverty neighborhoods, as defined by 20 percent or more households living below the poverty threshold, had a homicide rate of 3.2 per 100,000, much higher than low poverty neighborhoods at 0.6. American Indians and Alaskan Natives were at a greater risk of firearm suicide when compared to other groups. Between 2012 and 2016, American Indians and Alaskan Natives had a firearm suicide rate of around 9.7 per 100,000. White residents were the next most at-risk group at a rate of 6 per 100,000 while the countywide rate was

4.9 per 100,000. Along with collecting information on gun violence, the county is also engaging in information campaigns to encourage people to store their guns in lockers. Under state law that was passed last November, gun owners can be held criminally liable if their firearms are used to commit a crime. The initiative, I-1639, also prescribed other restrictions and requirements for owning semi-automatic rifles like AR-15s. The county’s push to gather information comes as other state and local officials explore ways to reduce gun violence. The Washington Legislature passed laws barring 3D printed gun parts known as “ghost guns” this year. State legislators additionally tightened firearms restrictions surrounding domestic violence, allowing police to confiscate guns if an arrest is made during a domestic violence call.

If illegal, fireworks would be out of control

ban on fireworks was bound to happen eventually. To be honest, I’m surprised it hasn’t happened sooner. It was just a matter of time before those who remembered what it was like before fireworks were legalized passed on and the lessons learned from that time were forgotten. Back when fireworks were illegal, injuries and fires due to fireworks were completely out of control. Instead of having a safe and legal source of fireworks, people went over to Tacoma and purchased all kinds of dangerous products from unlicensed stands. The results were terrible. Each year would see many injuries due to illegal use of dangerous products, and parts of the island would burn like clockwork annually. When fireworks were legalized, the number of severe injuries due to fireworks dropped dramatically. The number of fires due to fireworks on Vashon also dropped, often to zero in previous years especially when there were cooperative safety programs in place. Statistically, even on a really bad year, fireworks create a tiny fraction of the fires and injuries on Vashon. We are a very safe and responsible community, and for many years we had a run of no fireworks-related incidents at all. When there were incidents, they are almost always caused by illegal use or illegal products. Activities like using a barbeque or gas powered tool is statistically much more dangerous. Want to see more injuries and fires? Ban legal fireworks and watch chaos erupt as people switch to illegal products. In an ideal world, a ban on fireworks would keep people from using them, but history has told us this is not what happens in reality. Like the failure of prohibition, making fireworks illegal makes the problems worse. Banning legal fireworks endangers

The Vashon Theatre has always created a balance between business and a community gathering place. Eileen came to the theatre with the intent to save it as a community theater and has been extraordinarily successful in doing this. Vashon Theatre continues to keep the balance between screening first run films, and community interests like theater, opera, ballet, concerts, talks and support for island non-profits. One of the great stories of this bond between the theater and the community was GreenTech’s effort to raise donations to upgrade the theater’s projection equipment and the theater’s commitment to offer the Theatre to community nonprofits each Tuesday at no costs. This is an exceptional collaboration between the theater and the community. Eileen’s legacy will be this collaboration with GreenTech while at the same time keeping the theater as a viable island business. No small task with the way the film industry has changed and the delivery of film entertainment has exploded into the on-line digital world. Eileen’s greatest on-going accomplishment has been finding that balance between business and community that has cemented the Vashon Theatre role as a community asset. While small local theaters have been overwhelmed by multiplexes, and local theaters have closed all over the region, Eileen has been able to fine a way to keep the Vashon Theatre successful and thriving. —Bruce Haulman

We run safety classes and provide all those Canine relaxation treats at no cost to the community to help the critters. We choose not to sell some classes of legal products (even though there is high demand) because we feel they are not safe enough. We scour the world to find quiet fireworks that don’t disturb the neighbors. I don’t believe this sort of community-oriented stand can be found anywhere else. Perhaps more can be done to be a good neighbor and a responsible corporate citizen.

We must all step up to save orcas Editor’s note: this commentary follows an article that originally appeared in the June 13 issue of The Beachcomber about 3rd-grade students at Chautauqua Elementary School and their study of ecosystems in the Salish Sea. They were recently interviewed by King 5 News for their efforts to raise awareness around the plight facing Southern Resident orca whales. Did you know that every year the 3rd graders at Chautauqua do Action Network? Action Network is where we find something important and then we figure out solutions to help. We learned about five local issues: - homelessness - hunger/food scarcity - salmon - orcas - elders Then we voted and decided which one we would like to do this year. We are trying to help salmon and orcas because they might go extinct. Did

you know salmon have been on the threatened species list since 1999 and orcas have been on the endangered list since 2005? Currently, there are only 75 southern resident killer whales left in Puget Sound. Salmon and orcas depend on each other because if there are no salmon, then orcas will go extinct. It matters because it would totally change the food chain. If orcas go extinct, over time there could be too many salmon because there are no orcas to eat them. Then there would be less plankton. If the salmon don’t have enough plankton, the salmon will starve and then they would both be extinct. Our class would like to grow up with salmon and orcas, and have our children grow up with salmon and orcas. Could you imagine us only being able to tell our kids about orcas and salmon but them not ever getting to see them with their own eyes? Scientists discovered that the baby killer whales are dying more than

grown-up killer whales and all of the pods need our help. There are three different pods. As of January 11, 2019, the J-pod has 22 orcas, K has 18 orcas and L has 35 orcas. Do you really care about the orcas and salmon? Well, we do! We really want to help these beautiful creatures! We are going to put down medallions next to storm drains on Vashon to save our beloved orcas and salmon. A medallion is a rectangle that has words that are trying to persuade people not to pollute. The medallions say, “No dumping! Drains to waterways”. We are putting them down because the medallions will tell people on Vashon that there is a waterway starting there. A problem for orcas and salmon is when people pollute, they are not realizing what they are doing to the environment. Some of that pollution goes into the drains and then into Puget Sound. We asked King County if we could put medallions down on the

King County roads but they said no because we are kids. They said we had to be 18 years old. So instead we are asking different businesses if we can glue the medallions down on their property. That was our first project. Now, we have a second project. Did you know that there is no map of storm drains on Vashon? Well, that is going to change! King County asked us to make a map of the storm drains on

Vashon and we said yes! We are going to make a map by: Taking photos of the storm drains and sending them to King County with their geotag. Then they will make a map. Top 10 Ways You Can Help Salmon and Orcas: You can help salmon and orcas — we will explain! You can use less electricity. When you are done playing video games, turn off your device. You can

walk, ride a bike, ride a horse or take the bus. One less car! Put up solar panels. Use electric cars, scooters, bikes and motorcycles instead of gas. You can help orcas by not polluting. If you see trash, pick it up. If you find a garbage can, put it in there. Or do what they do in Tokyo: put it in your pocket and throw it away later. When you need to wash your car, go to an environmentally-friendly car wash. You can use less water or reuse water. You can make a rain garden near storm drains. It helps clean the water before it goes down the storm drain. You can make a green roof on your house. Thank you for reading. We hope you understand that the orcas and salmon are important to us. And you are amazing if you do these things to help. — Ms. Marjorie Butcher’s 3rd-graders

Seven islanders successfully swam around Blake Island on June 26. The 4.25 mile swim was accompanied by three support boats. In total, the athletes took 2.5 hours to circumnavigate the island. Heidi Skrzypek (lower left) said that during their swim, the group encountered several kelp beds and some strong currents. They also crossed paths with a few seals, making it a memorable day. The group regularly swims along Vashon’s coasts. Pictured at the top (left to right) is Martha Johnson, Amy Bogaard, Sarah Schieron, Rebecca Lanphear and Lise Ellner. At the bottom (left to right) is Skrzypek and Mary Robinson.

This photo from the 1981 Beachcomber, captures the experience of watching the Annual 4th of July Hydroplane Race beginning about 5:00 AM at Jensen Point on the Burton Peninsula. In the late 1950s – the exact date is a bit uncertain – Roger Stanley and Warren Bibbins began the dawn 4th of July Hydroplane Race around the island, and the tradition continues today. Get up early, make your way to Jensen Point, and become part of this venerable island experience. And, no matter where you live on the island, listen closely at dawn on July 4th, and you will hear the unmistakable high-pitched whine of the Annual Vashon 4th of July Hydroplane Race.

VASHON-MAURY ISLAND BEACHCOMBER

THEATER REVIEW

Drama Dock rocks its take on ‘Tommy’ By Lauri Hennessey

I was always a big Pete Townshend fan. Roger Daltrey was the guy with the curly hair back, the one the girls liked as he strutted the stage with The Who and sang about his generation. But for me, the band was always about the incredible Pete and his windmill guitar skills. He was a great songwriter, sure. But he also had a magic to him as he played the guitar or did scissor kicks in the air. Throw into the mix that he wrote an edgy, visionary rock opera and you had a recipe for greatness. Drama Dock does Townshend’s historic rock opera, “Tommy,” proud in its summer musical theater production. If you love rock, or The Who, or just good musical theater, it is well worth a visit this weekend. For anyone who doesn’t know the story (young people, perhaps?), “Tommy” is about a boy who loses his sight, hearing and speech after witnessing something terrible. He then travels a long road of abuse and cruelty before becoming a global sensation for his talent for playing pinball. The rock opera was an immediate sensation when The Who performed it in its entirety at Woodstock in 1969. Since then, it has seen success as a movie and a Tony-winning production on Broadway. Drama Dock’s production, directed by Elise Morrill, is a stellar interpretation of “Tommy.” There are numerous shining stars in the show.

Tickets Performances of “The Who’s Tommy” will continue at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, July 5 and 6, and 2 p.m. Sunday, July 7, at Vashon Center for the Arts. Buy tickets, $25 general, $22 seniors, students, VCA and Drama Dock members, at vashoncenterforthearts.org. Parental guidance for those 13 and younger is suggested due to mature content.

PETER SERKO PHOTO

Gabriel Dawson (Tommy at age 16), Phoebe Ray (Tommy at age 10) and Hailey Quackenbush (Tommy at age 18) star in Drama Dock’s “The Who’s “Tommy,” on stage at VCA through July 7.

Since this is a rock opera, first props must go to the tight band. It includes Christopher Overstreet on keyboards (and as music director, no easy feat), Jesse Whitford on drums, Gavin Ford Kovite on bass and the fantastic Andy James on guitar, doing some windmills and wearing Townshend garb. The band is not background. It is one of the stars. And they deliver the music with pounding excitement. Another highlight is Allison Shirk as Mrs. Walker. Shirk is an island songwriter and singer of rock and country. In “Tommy,” she nails her numbers, especially

“It’s a boy” and “I Believe My Own Eyes.” She has a great voice for stage and made the part her own. The ensemble was solid, including standouts Elise Ericksen and Julea Gardner, who each have a great number. Another notable player was Sarah Howard, who belted out “Acid Queen” in a way that gave Tina Turner (who sang it in the movie) a run for her money. But the true stars of the show were the Tommys — three great actors who played Tommy at age 10, 16 and 18. Phoebe Ray, as the youngest Tommy, is a study in loneliness

and shock and her performance touches the heart. Gabriel Dawson, as Tommy at 16, has a fantastic voice and a charming stage presence. The oldest Tommy was played by Hailey Quackenbush, a revelation for Vashon theater fans, even those who remember him as a talented presence in Vashon High School shows just a few years ago. He holds the stage like the wizard he is portraying — acrobatic, charming, full of stage presence and with a fantastic and pure voice. Hearing Quackenbush sing “Sensation” as he danced around

the stage or echo the famous “See Me, Feel Me” was pure magic. Nitpicks: the music was a little loud for some of the folks in the audience. Bring earplugs if you have sensitive ears. Also, the most grim parts of the plot have not changed, but the times have. They are hard to watch, even though they have been updated and softened slightly. And some of the harmonies missed a note or two on the group numbers, which will undoubtedly be tightened up before the second weekend. But these are small nits in a show that is a clever, innovative and impossible-to-not-sing-alongwith effort by Drama Dock. “Tommy” is a beautiful story of innocence lost, of redemption, and loving yourself in spite of what life offers you. It is also still a beautiful ode to rock, to songs that stick in your head long after you leave the theater — and to the talent of a guy named Townshend.

Hip-hop hero Onry Ozzborn comes to Vashon By Elizabeth Shepherd

Onry Ozzborn

arts@vashonbeachcomber.com

The experimental, engaging and bumping beats of Seattle hip-hop luminary, Onry Ozzborn, will be heard at an all-ages show at 7 p.m. Sunday, July 7, at Snapdragon’s Black Cat Cabaret. Onry Ozzborn is the stage name of Michael Martinez, a rapper and producer who is revered on the Seattle scene and beyond. He is a founding member of the alternative hip-hop groups Grayskul and Dark Time Sunshine, but his influence in the region extends back to the late 1990s. At that time, Martinez moved to Seattle from Arizona, and became a founding member of Oldominion, a legendary hip-hop supercrew of MCs and producers that helped define the introspective and spiritual sounds of the Northwest hip-hop scene. Ozzborn’s new album, “Nervous Hvnd,” is the latest in his prolific recording career.

Onry Ozzborn’s show is at 7 p.m. Sunday, July 7, at Snapdragon’s Black Cat Cabaret.

The show is a coup for island musician and house concert producer Tyrel Stendahl,

The show’s opening act will be Araless, from Black Magic Noiz. Doors open at 6 p.m. for the show; get tickets, $15, in advance at Brown Paper Tickets. The direct ticket link is onryblackcat. bpt.me.

who has been a fan of Ozzborn’s music for many years. Last summer, Stendahl brought

Martinez to Vashon for a house concert. Now, he says he is excited to invite more people — especially island teens — to the bigger show at the Black Cat Cabaret. The show comes at an emotional time for Martinez. He recently took a short hiatus from his career to focus on his daughter, Violet Ofelia Martinez, who was diagnosed with cancer. In response to a GoFundMe page launched to help pay for the many unexpected costs of the illness, Martinez and his family received an outpouring of support from the Seattle music community and beyond. Now that Martinez’s daughter is in remission, he has begun to play his first shows since March and has debuted and recorded new music about the experience, Stendahl said. One song, “V Girl,” is dedicated to his daughter and features her favorite singer, Reva Devito. The Seattle Times called the track “equal parts catharsis and rallying anthem.”

Oliver Van Olinda and John Sage

Vashon’s Photographic Chroniclers By Bruce Haulman and Terry Donnelly

early 130 years ago, Oliver Van Olinda came to Vashon from the Great Plains of Nebraska and began photographing Vashon Island in the 1890s. His photographs capture the everyday life of the island — the shipyards, the farms, the events and the people. These photographs have become an invaluable and cherished record of who we were and what life on the island was like. Much of what we know about Vashon comes from this photographic record. We have newspapers, diaries and memories from that time, but photographs often give an uncensored and unfiltered image of what life was like. In many photographs, the background is as significant as the subject, and the clothing and ephemera in the photograph often tell us fascinating details about the times. The May 11, 1901 photograph of the wedding of Margaret Sherman and Oliver’s brother Charles Van Olinda was taken at Portage where Charles owned the Portage Store. The photograph shows Oliver on the right holding the squeeze bulb and cable that allowed him to take

the photograph with him in it. This was an early form of the shutter timer that allows the photographer time to get into the picture. Today, in the early 21st century, Vashon has another Oliver Van Olinda who is chronicling the island and capturing the people and events that will help future historians define us a hundred plus years in the future. John Sage offers thousands of photographs of everything Vashon — from high school sports to concerts to the Strawberry Festival Parade on his

and displaying Vashon photographs for over 30 years, there are others who are also chronicling Vashon. The Facebook site, “Visual Delights on Vashon,” offers a collection of photographs by both professionals and amateurs who

post the interesting things they find that are visually delightful on the island. The group “Photographers of Vashon” has been doing the same for nearly a decade. And there are numerous professional and amateur photographers who have exhibits at various galleries on the island so we can all see the work they are doing. Vashon has an amazing collection of artists, musicians, writers, actors, poets, dancers and photographers who thankfully help us chronicle who we are through their various mediums.

Vashon Island Soccer Club draws in adults, fans By Mari Kanagy, Elizabeth Lande and Isabelle Spence Vashon sports have historically been played at the high school level, but adults on the island are finding a love for getting active as well. Following this trend, the Vashon Island Soccer Club continues to run its adult offseason futsal league. Futsal is played indoors on a field much smaller than regulation. The Vashon league was started about six years ago, with founding members sending out interest letters to adults in the community. From there, the group reached out to the Vashon Island Soccer Club (VISC) to make the activity more formally recognized. “Adult soccer has really been

The Hardware Store Restaurant Gallery Island photographer and educator Ray Pfortner will exhibit “25,” a rare solo show of his work. The title celebrates not the number of pieces in the show (there will be many more than that) but rather, the fact that Pfortner has now reached the milestone of 25 years of island residence. All the photographs are of Vashon and Maury Island. Some have been shared before,

booming in the last few years on Vashon,” futsal club member Lisa Chambers said. Over the course of a year, the group has two seasons, one in winter and one in spring, with practices once a week in the Chautauqua Elementary School gym. Three to 15 members typically attend each practice. The league draws its support largely from parents who watched their children grow up playing club soccer. According to futsal league members, some parents wanted involvement in sports beyond simply standing on the sidelines, attending their children’s games. “We wanted to play soccer ourselves,” Chambers said. One concern addressed by the league was the level of experience

but others will be new to islanders. Each piece will be accompanied by an extended caption that explains details about the photograph. Works range from traditional framed prints to canvases and metal prints to photo transfers onto beeswax.

and what would be required. Members wanted to create a space for adults to enjoy playing futsal without worrying about their skills or a lack of experience. Creating a community of accepting players allows the group to focus on improving skills rather than worrying about past experience with the sport. The league’s creation was spearheaded by community member Angela London. “I had never played growing up and felt intimidated to just join something — so I started something,” London said. The league provides many benefits for its participants, according to London. It provides a source of exercise and a mental and physical challenge, especially for new players. It also acts

as a social gathering for adults. Prior to the creation of the current futsal club, Vashon had a women’s soccer team called La Faite, which existed for about 25 years. The team was comprised of women aged 18 to 50 who simply enjoyed playing soccer. They played against other similarly-sized teams from sports communities in Seattle and Tacoma until it was disbanded a few years ago. Now, women’s futsal has taken its place, providing a similar opportunity for Vashon women to be part of an athletic team. Though futsal is largely similar to soccer, it differs in that it requires a higher level of control and contains less physical aggression. “It’s much more contained

because it’s just in the gym,” Chambers said. The Vashon team also places an emphasis on a feeling of community and doesn’t aim to seriously grow its numbers, enjoying the small group atmosphere. This casual setting lends itself to a less competitive environment, more focused on the love of the sport than on winning. “Women’s futsal, for us, is different,” Chambers said. “We play music really loud, we crank up the tunes. … It’s fun and silly.” The league will take a break for the summer months, having just played a small tournament on June 9.

vulnerable due to its extensive tidal shoreline in Puget Sound and related waters,” Wiles said. “In this respect Washington looks more like an East Coast state, with thousands of miles of tidal shoreline and a very large number of smaller communities and settlements in these tidal areas that need to be protected.” The study additionally only looked at costs associated with protecting public infrastructure like roads, using these as a proxy to estimate private developments in coastal

areas across the country. Fully protecting structures such as homes, churches and grocery stores could boost the price even higher. Researchers said the report was not meant to be a comprehensive cost estimate, but a ruler by which costs could be measured — a baseline estimate of sea level rise as the country moves into uncharted climate-affected waters. Overall, Washington was ranked as the seventh most costly state in the U.S. Similar to East Coast states like Virginia or South Carolina, Washington has several small towns near the coast. Entire towns are at risk of being lost without protection.

Georgia, which will need its entire coastline protected by 2040, the report said. Washington state will need around 1,651 miles of protected coastline, either by sea walls or other means, according to the report. Locally, King County is expected to spend at least $1.26 billion with other, smaller and less economically prosperous counties in the state paying even more. SOUND PUBLISHING FILE PHOTO

No one-size-fits-all solution David Michalsen, a coastal engineer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said they are planning for sea level increase between 1 foot and 5 feet by 2100. However, sea level rise is not uniform across the state. Some places like Neah Bay are expected to be less at-risk than other areas of the state due to a process called glacial rebound, where land that used to be covered by glaciers in the last ice age continues to expand. This won’t help other areas of the state like Southwest Washington or Central and South Puget Sound, which will be relatively more at-risk for sea level rise. However while Puget Sound could see the Pacific swell by 5 feet, lower risk areas like Neah Bay could rise up to 4 feet by 2100, according to the report. This is changing the way the Corps of Engineers is planning for projects. For example, when designing a jetty they may start the project with a larger initial

footprint, giving the project room to expand to meet future conditions. Higher seas mean larger waves, so rocks that are used on such projects would be scaled up, and engineers could even use natural features to help protect coastal infrastructure. Adaptability will likely be key for projects in the future, Michalsen said. “There’s maybe some more direction toward getting away from hard static features and creating more adaptable types of structures that aren’t locked in one type of place, so softer engineering solutions like dunes and beaches, you can adapt those designs a little easier than you can a rock structure that’s locked into one space,” he said. This is the approach the Washington state Department of Ecology is looking at, said communications manager Curt Hart. Ecology works with local jurisdictions to develop local shoreline master plans in line with the Shoreline Management Act approved by state voters in 1972. Given Washington’s diverse coastlines, there is no single solution. “The solutions are likely going to be tailored and nuanced,” he said. While sea walls are an option, Hart said the department encourages soft armoring and solutions that preserve the natural coastal habitat, which is often used by juvenile fish and other wildlife.

the museum into the larger composition of the National Mall. Her team was pivotal in the design of the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain in London. More locally, she played a role in the design of the glass backdrops marking The Seattle Civic Center Campus, composed of the Justice Center and Seattle City Hall. Gustafson studied at the National School of Landscape in France and passed the Eiffel Tower on her way to the metro station every morning. Now she splits

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a one-size-fits-all approach thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to protect our shorelines, make sure that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose those environmental or ecological functions, a one-size-fitsall approach isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to work,â&#x20AC;? he said. Other options aside from sea walls include having vegetative buffers and development setbacks from coastal areas, or using logs and rocks on the beach to anchor shorelines as opposed to bulkheads. On top of Taholah, Hart said there are several other Native American towns and villages on the Olympic Peninsula that are vulnerable not only to sea level rise, but flooding and earthquake-triggered tsunamis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sea level rise puts our coastal communities at

her time between the city, where she has lived for 40 years, and her home on Vashon. The task now before her, Gustafson said, is significant for its scale. But more importantly, fundamentally re-imagining one of the most iconic places in the world will serve as a benchmark of history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hugely important within the French psyche, within what it represents to the people, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very important site,â&#x20AC;? she said. Nearly 30 million people visit the Eiffel Tower every year. While few may notice signs of distress or blight, Gustafson said the sheer number of visitors has

risk,â&#x20AC;? Hart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how do we address that risk and how do we adapt and get ready, because we know that sea level rise is happening, we know that projections show that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to rise.â&#x20AC;? However, the Department of Ecology had not gotten a chance to fully review the CCI report or its data, and could not speak to its accuracy or relevance for his department, Hart said. Beyond laying out broad cost estimates, the report also questions who will foot the bill for climate adaptation. The report argues that fossil fuel companies that manufacture any products that have been driving global emissions should be on the hook. KC Golden of Climate Solutions echoed this idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fossil fuel industry knowingly caused the impacts and prevented and blocked the way to prevent action,â&#x20AC;? he said. Golden said fossil fuel

resulted in overcrowding and impaired accessibility, in addition to compaction of the soil and tree roots, putting a stranglehold on the ecology of the site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really was not built to take the amount of tourism

that it gets, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s totally run over, ruined. It needs to be renovated seriously,â&#x20AC;? said Gustafson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some things that need to be changed to be more environmentally conscious, and also much more equity

conscious, for all of the different people in the world that come.â&#x20AC;? Gustafson said that communication is likely to be one of her greatest challenges. Far more pedestrians currently span the Pont Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;IĂŠna Bridge than vehicles, but closing it off is not a popular idea with everyone. Still, she noted that the main tenets of the project â&#x20AC;&#x201D; balancing the demand on each of the spaces and advancing the environmental renewal of the site â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have won the admiration of mostly everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How cities are made, and how we do things for cities to make them more livable, is really important.

companies should be held accountable similar to tobacco companies, which were hit with more than $206 billion in settlement fines that went toward funding public education and other health investments. Without something like this, Golden said taxpayers will be liable for all climate damage costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should have a more equitable distribution of these costs that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re incurring now,â&#x20AC;? he said. And climate-related expenses are already racking up as Washington state spends millions to manage bigger and more destructive wildfires in its forests and grasslands. The state Department of Natural Resources asked for $55 million from the Legislature

to maintain forests and fight wildfires, of which $50 million was granted. Relocation costs for Taholah were around $65 million in 2014. On top of this, if emissions arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reduced from present levels, climate change could cost the U.S. more than $572 billion each year in effects ranging from heat-related deaths to lost wages to infrastructure damage by the end of

this century. But as far as sea level rise goes, Hart said there hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been any statewide analysis of potential costs. The Department of Ecology is focused on providing technical and scientific resources for the state and local communities, but Hart said such an analysis would likely be beneficial to their work and other agencies as they decide how to move forward.

Kerry Anne Langton Thursday, July 4, 2019

Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber

JULY 10, 1953 - JUNE 14, 2019

Kerry Anne Langton (formerly Megale) passed away peacefully on the evening of June 14, 2019 at her home on Vashon Island, Washington with her family at her side. For the previous three and a half years, Kerry had faced metastatic lung cancer with extraordinary strength, courage, and grace. Born on July 10, 1953 in Pleasanton, California to Mary Anne and Donald Manuel Megale, Kerry grew up in Klamath Falls and Corvallis, Oregon, and Salt Lake City, Utah. Following her graduation from Corvallis High School in 1971, she attended Marylhurst College for a year before a neck injury—the result of her usual exuberance—required her to return home to complete her education at Oregon State University. She graduated with a B.S. in Education in 1975, and later earned an M.Ed. from Trenton State University. Teaching would become Kerry’s life-long passion and the professional medium through which she would touch lives around the world. A certified scuba instructor, Kerry was managing a dive shop in Medford, Oregon in 1980 when she met her future husband Nick Langton, who had just returned from the Peace Corps in Nepal. They immediately fell in love. On their first date, Nick took Kerry to climb Mt. Thielsen in Southern Oregon, where they were caught in a snowstorm—the first of many adventures and misadventures shared in the mountains. Not to be outdone, Kerry arranged their second date as a cold-water dive off the Oregon Coast. Four months later, Kerry and Nick married at Union Creek, Oregon, promising each other lives of love and adventure. They promptly departed for Nepal to lead treks in the Himalayas and train Peace Corps volunteers. Kerry and Nick would spend the next thirty years living and traveling abroad. In Southern Sudan, where Nick worked with Ugandan refugees, Kerry opened a branch of the American School of Khartoum and taught a multi-grade classroom of international students, revealing her ability to create an oasis of learning from scratch. After capping their time in Africa with a climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro in 1985, Kerry and Nick returned to Asia in 1986. As Nick pursued a career in international development, Kerry taught or served on the board of international schools in Kenya, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Nepal, and India. She was a creative, energetic, and compassionate earlylearning teacher whom parents fought for and students loved. Family was always Kerry’s top priority. She and Nick adopted their son Tashi in Nepal in 1988. Six months later Kerry gave birth in Thailand to daughter Farah. They adopted daughter Mercedes in the Philippines in 1999. Their rainbow family grew up in Asia, trekking and scuba diving during school breaks. They spent summer vacations in their small cabin above Burton, where Kerry turned out gourmet meals on two electric burners for a constant stream of family and friends. Kerry and Nick moved to Vashon permanently following Kerry’s cancer diagnosis, bringing them close to their three children who had relocated to the Pacific Northwest. Kerry is survived by her husband Nick Langton of Vashon; their children Tashi Langton (Catherine) of Tacoma, Farah Powell (Connor) of Renton, and Mercedes Langton of Vashon; their grandchildren Mosaic Langton-Gleizes and Rylan Powell; mother Mary Anne Megale of Boise, Idaho, father Donald Megale of Corvallis, Oregon, and five siblings: Don Megale, Jr. (Cindy), Mike Megale (Kim), and Rich Megale (Lori) of Boise, Idaho; Tony Megale ( Jennifer) of Philomath, Oregon; and Laura Faes (Pat) of Phoenix, Arizona. While Kerry will be forever missed, those she touched will always be buoyed and inspired by her love of life, grounded wisdom, enduring faith, and infectious laugh. Kerry’s memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 10th at St. John Vianney Catholic Church, 16100 115th Avenue SW, Vashon, WA, 98070. Flowers may be sent to the church. Kerry’s family is deeply grateful to Dr. Laura Chow, Dr. Sylvia Lee, and many others at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) for their care and support through her illness. Donations in lieu of flowers may be sent to SCCA, Attn: Donations, P.O. Box 19023, Seattle WA 98109-1023. Checks may be made payable to SCCA with an indication that they are in memory of Kerry Anne Langton. To make a donation by phone, call (206) 606-2070 or (877) 308-3177, or to make an online donation visit the SCCA Donation page at: https://secure.seattecca.org/. Donations made in memory of Kerry will be designated for Lung Cancer Research.
