The Vashon Loop

  • Casper Babypants
    Caspar Babypants is the alter ego of Chris Ballew, whom many parents will recognize as the twice Grammy-nominated songwriter and lead singer of the ‘90s Seattle alt-rock group The Presidents of the United States of America.  With catchy and simple sing-along music geared towards children and their adults, Caspar is a perennial favorite at VCA!  […]

  • Roosevelt Jazz Band
    The Roosevelt Jazz Band is one of five jazz ensembles at Seattle’s Roosevelt High School. Lead by Director Scott Brown, the band performs throughout the Pacific Northwest, competing in jazz festivals and raising funds for the school’s jazz program at many events, including the annual Starbucks-sponsored “Hot Java Cool Jazz” concert featuring the area’s top […]

  • Pom! Pom! Pom! Gingerbread Drummers Play
    These cookie drummer boys are full of wholegrain goodness and have lower Glycemic Index numbers than cookies made with only wheat flour. Using half gluten-free and half all-purpose flour makes their dough more elastic, thus easier to roll out, than using all gluten free flours. If gluten is a problem for anyone in your family, […]

  • Oh, Crap, Grief Again
    In my last column I invited you to google Micah 6:8 from the Hebrew scriptures. Just in case you didn’t, here it is: “He has told you, O mortal, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justice, and to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?” […]

  • The Season
    This is a Christmas column I wrote six years ago and it still conveys what I want to say. We all recognize, if not celebrate, the darkest time of the year and the returning of the light. The early Christians set the birth of Christ at this time to replace the pagan Roman holiday of […]

  • Vashon Progressive Alliance Endorsement of Initiative 1000
    I-1000 is a statewide initiative to the Washington Legislature promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion for women, minorities, people with disabilities, and honorably discharged veterans in public employment, education, and contracting, by reinstating Affirmative Action for government entities. Diversity is America’s greatest asset, yet, since the passage of I-200 in 1998, Washington State has been prohibited […]

  • Dalco Pass Shuffle
    Throughout November and December, our imperiled Kéet relatives gave us something to be thankful for: their continued, blessed existence. In a flurry of November visits, Southern Residents (SRKW) foraged intensively on Chum and Blackmouth salmon. Two-leggeds stood spellbound on the shore, astounded by the surface active, socializing rituals of 41 SRKW in East Passage. Gregarious […]

  • The Jazz Guy’s 400th Show Airs on KVSH
    “Hey hey, hi hi It’s Bill Wood The Jazz Guy”.  That’s the signature line Bill has used to begin every one of his shows broadcast on Voice Of Vashon since 1999. And The Jazz Guy’s Show #400 will be aired Christmas Eve on the Voice of Vashon. Show 400, subtitled Together Again, brings back some […]
