Mom mourns loss of a son, spurs formation of a committee for safer SR 302
Written by Marsha Hart
Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of stories on SR 302.
Many Key Peninsula residents are acutely aware of the dangers of SR 302. Some have first-hand experience with dangerous intersections and car accidents. One site along SR 302 became very personal for Danna Burnett and her family. Her son Michael Iverson died in an accident near mile marker 11 on SR 302 on his way home from work in the early hours of Sept. 25.
Burnett decided she had to do something to bring more attention to the dangerous roadway, and push for a change.
“One of Michael’s friends said her mother works for a lady on the Key Peninsula Community Council and they were having a meeting,” she said. “I went to the meeting and told them something needs to happen. If there would’ve been a guardrail or maybe some lights, he might have survived.”
Talking about it is difficult for her, but she is determined to keep fighting to make the road safer.
Two weeks after Michael’s accident Burnett attended the meeting.
“Mary Blythe spoke for her (Danna Burnett) that night and that initiated our incentive to form the Action Committee For A Safe SR 302,” said Danna Webster, president of the council. “We took it under advisement for our director workshop, where we designed what we would do for the year ahead. We adopted it at that workshop as one of the three action committees.”
Burnett said she hopes to save other families from the grief and pain hers is experiencing. Just two weeks after his accident a single mother died on SR 302 near 144th St., and as motorists drive along the highway, crosses can be seen, marking the place where loved ones were taken.
While they are grieving for Michael, Burnett and her family are faced with the joy of a new life joining their family.
Two days after Michael died his girlfriend, Rose, found out she was having their baby. She is due in May.
“He had a dream when he was a kid, when he was about 12. He dreamt he was going to die. He had that dream again in August. We were at Lake Crescent, which is our family vacation each year. He dreamt that he was going to die, and that he had a son.”
Last month Rose was told she is carrying a boy.
Michael was social, he worked hard, and was kind to everyone, Burnett said. He always tried to help others, and was working sometimes two and three jobs to make ends meet.
“As a mom, his whole life I worried about losing him,” she said. “I’m sure I harassed him a lot just to call him and see where he was. If we don’t change this highway there’s just going to be more death, more moms losing their children.”
The Action Committee for a Safe SR 302 meets the second Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the Key Center Fire Station meeting room.
Vaughn Elementary School’s gym was filled with students, siblings, staff and parents during the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day assembly. Vaughn’s music teacher Mary Farr, Cultural Enrichment Specialist Ernie Donehower, and PE instructor Marc Ross with the cooperation of the school staff and enthusiastic students planned the day’s event.
Music filled the auditorium as first-graders sang “Kumbaya,” and fifth-graders sang “This Train.”
Students put together a skit called “Freedom Train, memories of the Civil Rights Movement in America,” to honor not only Dr. King but to serve as a history lesson on other important Americans. Fourth and fifth-grade students spoke the words of special “passengers,” Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglas, and Rosa Parks as well as Dr. King.
“It brought me chills hearing all of the students singing together and seeing the kindergartners’ really serious faces like they were experiencing something powerful,” said Farr.
Thanks to a Peninsula Schools Education Foundation grant, Farr now has 33 ukuleles to expand students’ knowledge of the fundamentals of music. Eleven proud musicians in Vaughn’s newly formed “Ukulele Club” played “When the Saints Go Marching In,” accompanied other performers, and played their own musical selections. The club was formed after students learned ukulele skills at the beginning of the school year. It meets on Wednesdays during the lunch recess break to acquire further skills or just to “jam” and share new songs they’ve discovered.
“Several students have acquired their own instruments!” said Farr.
Watching and listening to a larger than life video clip of Dr. King’s famous “I Have A Dream” speech, the student body audience was such that, “You could have heard a pin drop!” said teacher Farr.
After closing remarks by Vaughn principal Susan O’Leary, the entire student body sang “We Shall Overcome” led by teacher Farr and a trio of fifth-graders. Almost everyone in the audience sang along.
“A very moving experience,” a parent was heard to say.
Later, music teacher Farr explained, “The ukulele is a natural fit for young children with its bright, happy tonal pallet. Chord positions are the same as partial positions of chords associated with guitar. Ukuleles are portable, affordable instruments sparking student interest to play other string instruments like the mandolin, dulcimer, banjo, violin, and guitar.”
This school year some 60 fifth-graders experienced ukulele instruction. Each had a numbered ukulele assigned to them to care for. This spring two fourth grade classes will receive instruction as part of their general music class.
“With proper care,” said Farr, “the instruments will last many years with hundreds of students playing them. “I am extremely grateful for (PSEF’s) support in launching this program.”
This is not the first time PSEF has gifted Vaughn’s music program said Farr. Her initial grant was to build the Orff Instrumentarium, xylophones, glockenspiels, and met allophones. In another grant, she got soprano recorder materials and in yet another, music manipulatives and games for hands-on learning of music concepts.
“At a time when public schools face budget constraints,” said Farr, “(PSEF’s) vision has supported access to music education for all children.”
PHS’ “We The People” team takes silver at State
Written by Hugh McMillian
Eight Washington State high school “We The People” teams assembled in the state Capitol buildings in January. Each had won its regional competition and was in Olympia for the state “playoffs.”
Peninsula High’s WTP team walked off with the silver. Tahoma High School’s team will represent the state in the national competition in Washington, D.C.
Ken Brown, teacher and coach for the PHS team said, “Working with this year's group has been phenomenal. They took their preparation so seriously and worked harder than any group of students I've coached in a long time. To come up 24 points short of first place out of over 2,000 points possible was a testament to the commitment and passion of this group of seniors. They were the definition of PHS Proud!”
Gavin Grant, a senior competitor, said the team owes its success to Brown.
“All credit goes to teacher (Ken) Brown, the perfect citizen we learn about in textbooks,” Grant said. “He educates 17 high-schoolers in what it really means to be involved in our government. He is the most honest, dedicated person I’ve ever met. Connections he builds are so personal we forget he is our teacher.
"In my four years and nine AP classes at PHS, nothing has been as frustrating and time-consuming as the We the People program, but every minute has been worth it,” continued Grant. “It challenges us to apply the US Constitution to everyday life; as teenagers that is overlooked in many aspects. Before WTP, I could not name three amendments in the constitution. Now, I can explain the dissent in the recent Snyder v. Phelps case without a second thought.”
The team spent the night before the competition in an Olympia hotel where they burrowed into practicing their routines well into the night. There was no fun and games, just hard work.
"We studied The Constitution and our respective topic questions rigorously prior to competition,” said senior Tyler Allen. “The work paid off at state, where we had no trouble citing evidence."
WTP team member Benjamin Summerour declared, “Mr. Brown has understood, better than anyone I know, how to be constructively honest without being offensive, how to be supportive while helping his students to become self-reliant, and how to demonstrate a genuine compassion to his pupils and mentors that makes everyone around him want to become a better person.”
