“Push Mike, push harder or we’re not going to make it.” My little brother and I were pushing Mom’s 1941 Chev up the gravel road beside our peach orchard to get it away from the house before we could start it, so Mom and Dad couldn’t hear the engine.

In one respect, the Vashon Park District got a jump on the rest of the country. A little over two years ago, Islanders were very angry with the Park District, defeating an incumbent commissioner and narrowly re-electing another.
I think that Bob Marley said it best way back in 1979: “So much trouble in the world…” Racism and war, poverty and famine, police brutality and injustice, religious intolerance and terrorism. And we have so many of the same troubles in our world 37 years later.

Sanders made us to understand that nothing he was espousing would happen without a major grass roots effort to force our elected officials to act.
