Journal staff reportA San Juan Island man accused

of stabbing another man in an altercation over a $100 pickup is slated to stand trial for felony assault in mid-May.

On March 27, Victor James Capron Jr., pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of first-degree assault with a deadly weapon. He was released under court orders and on $100,000 bail pending trial.

If convicted, the 56-year-old lifelong San Juan Island resident would face a mandatory mini-mum sentence of five years in prison, as required under state law. First-degree assault with a deadly weapon carries maximum penal-ties of life in prison, a $50,000 fine, or both.

He has no history of violent crime.

Born and raised on San Juan, Capron was taken into custody Monday, March 23, shortly after 6 p.m., at the end of a long gravel driveway on the Boreen property, which borders the gravel pit and the San Juan Community Home Trust neighborhood near the inter-section of Hunt and Grover streets.

He was intoxicated, slumped over in the front seat of his vehi-

Ranker was selected as one of 19 leaders from across the country to join the NewDEAL, a national network committed to highlight-ing innovative ideas from state and local elected leaders who are pro-growth progressives.

Journal photo / Emily GreenbergSailor Nick Wainwright, left, and Steve Roberts, owner and builder of “Microship,” have join forces to enter and hopefully win a 750-mile race to Ketchikan, up the Inside Passage, and collect the race’s $10,000 grand prize.

By Emily GreenbergJournal Reporter

With its squalls, hypothermia-inducing waters and 20-mile-an-hour rapid-like currents, the inside passage to Alaska is an engine-less sailors’ biggest challenge.

The first-ever “Race to Alaska,” brainchild of the Northwest Maritime Marine Center, is a 750-nau-tical-mile journey that begins June 4, from Port Townsend to Ketchikan, Alaska, with a grand prize of $10,000. The only catch is it must be done on an entirely engine-less vessel, human or sail powered.

Local sailor Nick Wainwright, 28, of San Juan Island, is one of the Race to Alaska hopefuls, on a very unique boat.

“It wasn’t even a question of should I do this race,” Wainwright said. “I have to. This boat is unlike anything else.”

The boat, named Microship, is an amphibious pedal and sail powered trimaran. No need for an anchor, amphibious means the boat can roll onto land with four wheels that come down and retract like an airplane’s. It has a free-standing mast and uses one simple sail. There’s no traditional tiller or wheel, handles guide the boat through hydraulic steering. When there’s a lull in the wind, she can be pedaled at about three knots.

The boat was built and designed by Steve Roberts, technophile and expert tinkerer, after a 17,000-mile jaunt on a home-built, techno-logically advanced bicycle that now sits in the Computer History Museum in California. Sparing the techno-babble, just one of the bike’s many fea-tures was that it allowed Roberts to type emails in binary while pedaling on the road, in the late ‘80s.

Microship took nearly a decade to build. A $1 million undertaking, the vessel had over 160 cor-porate sponsors aiding in its completion. Roberts originally intended to trailer the boat to different

nearly incoherent at the time. He had a folding knife in his right front pocket and the front passenger seat and door were smeared in blood, according to Sheriff ’s deputies.

The alleged victim, Eric King, 34, was found lying face up near the entrance to the driveway and flown

to Harbor View Medical Center for treatment. He had bled profusely from a deep laceration under his left bicep by the time dep-uties arrived at the scene, and had a deep gash and a smaller wound on his face.

The extent of the injuries, in part, prompted authori-ties to file a charge of first-degree assault, according to Deputy Prosecutor Emma Scanlan.

King reportedly was in stable condition the day

after the alleged assault, according to authorities. Sources close to the defen-dant say Capron maintains that he was defending him-self during the altercation.

The two men were unac-quainted when they met. However, in a statement to deputies, Kelsey Boreen, who lives on the property, said King had repeatedly tried to interest Capron in buying the pickup, but that a deal never materialized. They met that afternoon to look over the vehicle and discuss a possible transac-tion, Boreen said.

In his statement, Boreen told deputies that King became apprehensive because of Capron’s condi-tion, offered to drive him home, and asked Boreen for a ride back. Not long after, he said that he saw the Explorer speed down the driveway, then heard some-one screaming for help and went outside to find King staggering up the driveway and covered in blood.

Though now the pre-sumed victim in a felony assault case, King is the defendant in an unrelated

case of felony assault as well, and is also slated to stand trial in mid-May. He faces one count of second-degree assault with a deadly weap-on for allegedly brandishing a large folding knife and threatening another man with it during a mid-Febru-ary confrontation near the Friday Harbor fairgrounds.

San Juan Community Home Trust homeowner Chinmayo met with federal lawmakers last week on Capitol Hill to advocate for increased funding for affordable housing in the San Juan Islands, as well as in Washington state and across the nation.

A San Juan Island resident for more than 40 years, Chinmayo, a healthcare professional by trade and well known for her artistic creations, was unable to purchase a home until qualifying for one of the permanently affordable homes entrusted to the Community Home Trust in 2012.

Chinmayo joined five other affordable home-owners from across the country to meet with staff members from more than 60 elected officials. They asked lawmakers to support funding and regulation changes that support community land

trust and permanently affordable housing homes like their own. She joined the afford-able home advocacy group as part of the National Community Land Trust Network’s Resident Ambassador Initiative, which empowers owners of community land trust homes to lobby on behalf of the perma-nently affordable homeownership model.

“Walking the ‘Hill’ was exhilarating and gave

my heart good cheer knowing there is an avenue to create change for the average workers of America,” Chinmayo said.

There are more than 200 Community land trusts and other permanently affordable home-ownership programs across the country. CLTs use one-time public investments to write down the cost of a home so that it is affordable to low-income homebuyers who are typically shut out of the for-sale market. In exchange for a below mar-ket-rate purchase price, the homeowner agrees to sell the home at an equally affordable price to another income eligible homeowner. In this way, these programs leverage one-time public invest-ments to ensure that the homes are affordable in perpetuity.

Over the past month, restoration crews from the Washington Department of Natural Resources removed more than 50 tons of toxic creosote-treated wood from public and private beaches on Lopez, Orcas and San Juan islands.

Friends, which coordinated the removal projects, credits the local residents who reported areas marked by creosote debris and the Puget Sound Conservation Corps, which collected and disposed of the toxic-laden loads, for helping to improve water quality in the island archipelago.

Creosote-treated wood was commonly used in marine structures throughout the Salish Sea for more than a cen-tury during a period of rapid development and industrial expansion. Like other chemical compounds that were inno-vations in their time, creosote was broadly used without knowledge of its long-term consequences.

It is now known that creosote contains more than 50 human carcinogens and is toxic to marine fish and other wildlife. Much creosote remains in local waters today, washing in with storms and tides and persisting in older structures such as docks and pilings.

“Friends of the San Juans is continuing its partnership with the DNR to remove Creosote piles, unnecessary toxic creosote-treated pilings and outdated structures from tide-lands in San Juan County at no cost to interested landown-ers this summer,” Friends Science Director Tina Whitman said. “The goal of the project is to improve water quality and overall ecosystem health for salmon and salmon prey.”

In December, 28 creosote-saturated pilings were removed from a defunct dock in Blakely Islands Thatcher Bay and another 26 in-water creosote pilings and approximately 1,200 square feet of pier decking were removed from Lopez Island’s Barlow Bay in December the year before.

Friends and DNR are seeking property owners who have in-water, creosote-treated wood, such as unused pilings or

derelict docks, that they are interested in having removed. To find out if your structure is eligible for this voluntary and free removal program, contact Whitman, 360-378-2319 or DNR’s Chris Robertson, 360-854-2808.

Friends and DNR are interested in receiving information about beach sites with large accumulations of drift-creosote materials as well; this material may be eligible for removal through the same DNR-sponsored Puget Sound Corps Program that just completed removals over the past few weeks.

Funding from the Washington State Salmon Recovery Funding Board enabled Friends to coordi-nate the creosote removal effort in San Juan County. It’s part of a statewide DNR Creosote Removal Program that to date has collected and disposed of more than 19,823 tons of creosote, 276,000 square feet of over-water structures and 3,972 tons of toxic beach debris at various waterfront locations in the Salish Sea.

Hosted by the Marketplace, the 62-foot medically equipped trailer and its team of volunteer health professionals offer 30-minute exams for people of all ages for blood pres-sure, glaucoma, diabetes, sight and hearing. The mobile health screening trailer will travel to Orcas Island for a similar two-day session of screenings following its stop in Friday Harbor.

The local Lion’s Club has sponsored health screen-ing visits by a medically equipped mobile vehicle for more than a decade, but the 62-foot trailer slated for the April 3-4 event is a new trailer pulled by a new Kenworth tractor that was

donated by Red and Beverly Bingham of Washington.

An estimated 30,000 patients, mostly children, are expected to attend free health screening sessions- this because of the avail-ability of the Lion’s Club’s Health Screening Unit.

bodies of water around the country, and cover 14,000 miles, but life got in the way.

After an inaugural trip around the Puget Sound in 2003, Microship sat in Roberts’ shop on Camano Island for nearly a decade until it was relaunched in Friday Harbor in 2013 for day sailing.

“It was really sad,” Roberts said. “If he [Wainwright] pulls this off, it will be won-derful to sit back and watch my baby go out and do what she was designed to do.”

Wainwright was think-ing about the Inside Passage just days before he rather serendipitously

met Roberts. The two have more than just a love for sailing in common, both are self-proclaimed geeks and “hackers.” Hacking, mean-ing they take great pride in “making things do what they’re not supposed to do,” Wainwright said. Like the time when Wainwright was a kid and built a guitar out of a hockey stick, a speaker, and an old stereo.

Roberts was more than obliged to pass the Microship torch to Wainwright.

“To see someone come in with all this enthusiasm, he reminded me of me,” Roberts said.

The original deal was for Wainwright to buy the boat, but Roberts, reluctant to

hand over possession of his beloved project, decided to rent the boat to him instead of selling it, which turned out well for Wainwright.

“This lightened the load immensely,” Wainwright said. “It’s crunch time and I’m picking up as many odd jobs as I can.”

Microship needs quite a bit of work to be outfitted for the race, like trampoline netting between hulls so he can move about the boat for adjustments. The pedal-drive for the foot pedals needs fix-ing, the canvas dodger is also defunct. Fix the VHF, apply bottom paint, buy and install GPS--like with any boat the list goes on. Wainwright also needs to make sure he has enough money to get the boat back home on the

Alaska Ferry before he will officially register for the race. The deadline to register is April 15.

That’s why he’s set up an online campaign to raise money for the feat on Gofundme.com, a crowd funding website. Wainwright has already received gener-ous donations, like the use of a free workshop in San Juan Business park, but the world of boat racing is prov-ing to be an expensive one.

Microship is 19 feet long and 11 feet wide. The cock-pit, where Wainwright will steer, adjust the sail, and pedal from, is only about five feet long, three feet wide.

To sleep, he will pedal the bike to land each night. The captain’s chair reclines,

giving the cockpit an extra three feet in length for sleeping. He will also have to bring all of his own food and a small stove for cook-ing as the Race to Alaska is a “no-support”event.

Out there on the water and alone in the wilderness, Wainwright isn’t afraid of whales, or grizzlies, or even getting cold. With storage so limited on the boat, cumber-some foul weather gear might have to be sacrificed in place of food and other supplies.

“I’ll bring a coat,” he said. Want to help these two

geeks get Microship off the ground? Visit www.gofundme.com/Microship to donate. For more infor-mation checkout their Facebook page, www.face-book.com/TeamMicroship.

an engine of economic opportunity.“NewDEAL leaders in communities across the country

have proven that winning policy solutions can be both pro-growth and progressive,” Warner said. “We are proud to highlight leaders from across the country with innovative ideas to make government more efficient and effective.”

Markell said that Ranker develops the type of fresh ideas and innovative solutions needed to address the challenges of the 21st century and move the nation forward.

Elected to the state Senate in 2008, the 44-year-old legis-lator and former San Juan County Councilman, and former executive director of the SurfRider Foundation, became the first San Juan County resident elected since John Blair joined the state’s upper house more than 100 years ago. He succeeded former state Sen. Harriett Spanel, who opted not to seek reelection that year after 15 years in office.

Washington state Congressman Rick Larsen, 2nd District, echoed the praise for Ranker’s progressive, pro-growth lean-ings, citing the recently created San Juan Islands National Monument as example.

“I am proud to be recognized by the NewDEAL for my work to make smart investments for our future that spur eco-nomic growth that is sustainable,” said Senator Ranker. “I’m looking forward to sharing ideas with my fellow NewDEAL

leaders and hearing about what’s working best in their com-munities that can help us grow and progress here in the state of Washington.”

Ranker is currently featured on the NewDEAL’s inter-active website atwww.newdealleaders.org/leader_ranker_kevin. He joins Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland and Senator Cyrus Habib as one of three NewDEAL leaders from Washington state.

Wallace Edward Botsford passed away peacefully on March 25, 2015.

A beloved husband, father and grandfather, Wally will be remembered as an energetic man who cared greatly for his family, had a quick wit and felt most at home fishing the waters of southeast Alaska.

Wally was born on March 9, 1938, to Helen and Wallace Botsford. He and his younger sister Bonnie were raised in Friday Harbor, where his father was a logger and worked at the lime kiln and his mother was a teacher. His family also raised turkeys, dairy cows and sheep on their large San Juan Island property.

After graduating from Friday Harbor High School in 1956, Wally attended Western Washington University, where he earned a teaching degree. It was also at Western that Wally met the love of his life, Jane Edgerton, at a school dance. The two married on Nov. 4, 1959, and had three children together, Patricia, Michael and Sandra.

Wally taught high school math, woodshop and drawing for almost a dozen years, but his passion always lied in fishing. He began working on commercial salmon fishing boats in southeast Alaska at the young age of 15, and he continued to fish each summer through college and while teaching in Stanwood. He eventually purchased his own boat, a seiner called the Golden North, in 1969, and owned

several more boats over the course of his career as a fiery but successful skipper. He named one of his boats, The Lady Jane, after his wife.

Wally retired in 1999 for health reasons, after more than four decades of fishing. He sorely missed being in the wheelhouse, but hardly kept still during his retire-ment. He could constantly be found doing work and projects at his home in Bellingham, where he and Jane moved a dozen years

ago. He also began a legacy of fishing in his family—his two daughters both met their hus-bands on fishing boats and all five of his grandsons would spend time commercial fishing.

After his parents’ passing, Wally continued to maintain his family’s property in Friday Harbor, a 20-acre partly wooded swath overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains. He felt a deep connection to the place and even lived there with Jane for a couple years

before the two purchased Jane’s grandparents’ former home in Bellingham, which also looks out on the water.

Wally is described by those who knew him as a hard worker and a fighter, even as he battled illness toward the end of his life. He spent his final days in Bellingham sur-rounded by family and loved ones.

Wally was preceded in death by his sister Bonnie Barsness. He is survived by his wife, Jane Botsford, and three children, Patricia Botsford Martin (Daniel Martin), Michael Botsford (Robyn Botsford) and Sandra Johns (Steven Johns). He is also survived by his grandchildren, Nicholas and Gabe Martin, Tristan Botsford, and Jess, Rachelle and Justin Johns.

A service for Wally will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at Saint James Presbyterian Church in Bellingham. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made in his name to Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Share your thoughts of Wally by signing the online guest register at www.hawthornefh.com. Arrangements are under the care of Hawthorne Funeral Home, Mount Vernon, Wash.

Agnes May Murray was born at the lighthouse sta-tion in Westport, Wash., on November 17, 1931.

She came to San Juan Island at the age of four to live at the Lime Kiln Lighthouse where her father was the lighthouse keeper for many years. Agnes loved growing up at the light-house and had many won-derful stories about what life was like in those days.

She graduated from Friday Harbor High School in 1950 and married the love of her life, Norman Murray. They had five chil-

dren, Janice Anderson, Sue Maas, Norman Murray, Teri Cooter, and Toni Holmes--but she was "Mom" to many others. She also leaves 13 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. She touched many hearts during her life with her loving spirit.

Agnes loved going to the beach, watching the waves and collecting shells, rocks and beach glass for her hob-bies. She also loved garden-ing, fishing, clam digging, family get-togethers, and dancing.

Agnes passed away on March 6 at her home in

Friday Harbor after a short illness. Graveside services for family and close friends will be April 11, at noon, at the Valley Cemetery. A celebration of her life for the community will be at 1 p.m. at the American Legion.

Remembrances can be made to the Friends of Lime Kiln Society, PO Box 1361, Friday Harbor.

The "Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter" was truly a bright light in our lives.

McDonald’s will add much to FH

Super kudos to the Town Council for their quick approval of a McDonald’s franchise for that empty storefront on Spring Street.

I know this decision was made in secret and was meant to be a surprise for the residents of Friday Harbor, but the cat’s outta the bag.

I for one am really excited about selecting items from the “Value Menu” and using Sunshine Alley as the drive thru. Thank you Town Council, and I hope any-body reading this does so on April 1.

MIKE BUETTELLSan Juan Island

Benefits abound; ‘Yes’ on Island Rec

I am writing in support of the upcoming Island Rec levy.

I have worked in the San Juan Island School District for close to 25 years and my wife and I raised two incredible children on the island who have taken advantage of many oppor-tunities offered by Island Rec. Our island commu-nity needs our Island Rec programs in order to keep our community viable and attractive to young families.

Over the last seven years our school district has struggled financially as our student population declines. We try to offer the best pro-grams possible and stretch our budget to include as many opportunities as we

can for our students. In 2009, the San Juan

Island School District had to make a decision to either cut core academic programs or cut our schools sports program. We chose to cut the sports program, but thanks to our community and Island Rec we were able to keep both.

Since that day I have tried to imagine what our high school would be like without a sports program. When a new student moves into our district sports pro-vide opportunities to create instant friendships.

Sports also create a venue for students to develop lead-ership skills, earn PE cred-its, develop a strong work ethic and give a student a sense of belonging. Many of our sports teams earn top state academic awards for high cumulative grade point averages.

College applications ask questions about community and school involvement, leadership, involvement in activities, and honors and awards. Our sports pro-grams offer opportunities for students to show these qualities through their involvement.

Over half our student population is involved in athletics. These students feel a strong connection to school and tend to do better academically.

Our Island Rec levy is asking for our commu-nity to support our school sports program, after school programs for children of working families, summer programs for children and adults, plus much more.

I hope you will help sup-port the Island Rec levy by voting “Yes” in April.

GORDY A. WAITEFH High School

Right time to run for hospital board

Are you distressed about our new hospital:

1: because the care offered has turned out to be prohibitively expensive, or;

2: because this hospi-tal, supported in part by our taxes, adheres to the Catholic Bishops’ Ethical and Religious Directives regarding reproductive health and end-of-life care, or;

3: because the Hospital District Board members, who should be responsive to the public on San Juan Island, instead see them-selves as apologists for the hospital administration?

If so, please consider run-ning for one of the three seats open this year on the hospital district board.

Conflict? Record shows otherwise

In his recent letter, “Why can’t Co-op be more like FH?”, March 18, pg. 5, Bill Wertz envisions the worst.

His allegations of my having a conflict of interest have no merit. He jumps to an erroneous conclusion that I knew what the future would bring.

In 2007, I was concerned about a proliferation of numerous unsightly cell-phone towers that might be needed to serve the difficult topography of our islands.

It was not until 2012, two years after I left the County Council, that OPALCO even began to consider the expansion of OPALCO’s fiber-optic communications system to include access for joint-use wireless facilities

using existing power poles. Hindsight may make for

20-20 vision.BOB MYHRLopez Island

Active & enriched; ‘Yes’ on Island Rec

Having lived on San Juan Island for over 20 years, I cannot imagine our com-munity without Island Rec.

From finger-painting t-shirts to swimming les-sons, from Music on the Lawn to Films in the Park, from senior fitness to school sports, Island Rec has consistently provided programs, events and open space that serve and sup-port the very heartbeat of our island and our com-munity.

I am especially excited about Island Rec’s man-agement of the new Friday Harbor Community Fields and daily appreciate their

oversight of my favorite walking spot, the LaFarge Open Space.

For the continued health and well being of our chil-dren, family, and friends, join me in voting yes on April 28 for Island Rec’s levy renewal.

Many to credit for field trip benefit

I am writing to extend sincere appreciation to everyone in our most sup-portive community: our tireless volunteers, our generous sponsors, and all attendees that helped with the overall success of our PTA Field Trip Fundraiser Breakfast this past Saturday (March 21).

Over 200 people attend-ed the breakfast, making it possible to send all of our 5th grade students to the Pacific Science Center this spring.

Any funds in excess of the field trip costs will

carry over to support their Mountain School expe-rience in October, as 6th grade students.

Sponsors for the event included: China Pearl, Kung Fu Pizza, Blue Water Grill, Herb’s Tavern, Cask and Schooner, Vic’s, Kiwanis, King’s, Friday Harbor Market Place, Car Quest, San Juan Roasting Co., Hungry Clam, Sweet Retreat, Tony’s Carpet Cleaning, Haley’s, Rocky Bay Cafe, Saw Shop Harbor Rental, Printonyx, Serendipity Books, Ositos, Toy Box, Mosquito Fleet, YO! Friday Harbor, Browne’s, Spring Street Deli, and Friday Harbor NOW, San Juan Journal, San Juan Islander and the San Juan Update for posting our information for folks to find us.

We thank the community for their support as we work together to provide engag-ing educational opportu-nities for our students. In gratitude;

OPINION

6 — Wednesday, April 1, 2015 The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com

By Bill CummingSpecial to the Journal

We all made the decision to live here on San Juan Island for different reasons.

We chose this community. This community is what makes us all unique and proud to be an islander.

Island Rec has been an important part of this commu-nity for over 31 years. Last year we provided over 2,700 hours of varied recreational programming to over 14,000 participants. We maintain four parks; The Former Gravel Pit (LeFarge), the Skate Park and Family Park at the fair-grounds, and Eddie and Friends Dog Park. We sponsor Music On The Lawn and our energetic and enthusiastic Trails Committee, who continues to develop and open up miles of hiking trails all over the island.

We operate a large summer camp for kids (Camp Eagle Rock) and an after-school program for kids (STAR) that provides local families healthy and safe activities for children. These are rich and varied recreational opportunities for islanders and visitors alike and are part of what makes San Juan Island a great place to live and visit.

Six years ago our school district expe-rienced a serious decline in financial sup-port from the state.

Faced with decisions of where to cut, they rightfully chose to prioritize academics (keeping teachers in the class-room) and faced the very real possibility of eliminating high school sports. Island Rec, because of its status as a junior taxing district, successfully proposed and passed a levy to fund our high school sports.

Without this funding the high school sports program would cease to exist as we now know it. This is a unique solution that few communities can access.

Finally, our community has been given a new 32-acre park and field facility located at the end of Carter Street. This $3.5 million-dollar facility was built entirely by donations, with-out any tax dollars being used in the construction.

We are fortunate to be able to have a facility of this caliber for community use. Island Rec will properly operate and main-tain this facility through a small addition to our levy request. Open to all for walking its trail, playing in the children’s park, or just running and playing on the fields when not in use by organized teams, this park complex is a welcome component of keeping our community vibrant, healthy, and safe.

Island Rec needs your support. Renewing our levy pays for so much: 18.5 cents will support wide and varied pro-gramming and the operations of current parks, 12 cents will continue to fund our high schools sports and 8 cents for the operations and maintenance of our new community park on Carter Street. This is money well spent for our community.

Let’s keep it beautiful. Let’s keep it vibrant and healthy. Let’s keep our island one of the very best places to live.

Let’s keep it our community. Vote YES for Island Rec.— Editor’s note: former San Juan County sheriff Bill Cumming

is chairman of elected commission of San Juan Island Parks and Recreation District, better known as Island Rec.

The inner-workings of nature until very recently were mostly beyond human comprehension,

outside of awareness of linkages of cause and effect.

With the benefit of incredible tech-nological advancement, we now can see the history-altering disruptions we have created.

Like many of you, older than we thought we would ever be, I have expe-rienced social upheaval in America, when long-simmering issues reached a boiling point and people took to the streets to force change in stagnant governmental policies that favored the entrenched interests of the few.

Today, we know the most deeply entrenched, politically powerful eco-nomic interests of all are those of the multi-national corporations making money hand over fist as purveyors of dirty fossil fuels, and which will fight to the end to preserve the status quo.

Free-thinking people, informed by decades of serious indications of accel-erated climate change, are moving beyond talking-head debates, the self-serving misinformation of bombastic talk radio and congressional inertia.

Progressive governments and com-munities around the world are form-ing coalitions to improve energy con-servation and to plan for some sem-blance of resilience in an uncertain future. We are fortunate to live in one of those regions.

Late to react, with everything in flux, we must now look beyond the rapidly melting primordial ice at both poles and record-breaking warm tem-perature years. We have to focus on compounding environmental destruc-tion, political strife and forced reloca-tion of hundreds of millions of people living at a subsistence level.

In the eleventh hour, in the huge void left by objective, apolitical and often boring scientific portrayal of the most important story of all time (all but ignored by corporate media) award-winning documentary films are exposing the destructive corporate practices that batter our environment and diminish human lives that are already too short and brutal.

I recently learned that as a follow-up

on the informative Climate Lecture Series of last year, and convergent efforts by Transition Lopez and Orcas Sustainability groups, a newly formed citizens group here (San Juan), Islands Climate Resilience, in collaboration with many co-sponsors is scheduling free showings of the nine-part film series: “Years of Living Dangerously,” beginning April 2.

Two 60-minute episodes will be shown back-to-back each week at San Juan Island Grange #966, culminating with the final segment and open dis-cussion, April 30.

Here we live in a bucolic “geography of hope” in deeply troubling times. I am reassured by these collaborative efforts by informed citizens through-out our county to raise awareness and nudge government toward meaning-ful energy conservation and adaptive strategies for community resilience.

Thinking globally while acting locally has heightened meaning today. This is a good place to draw a line in the sand and stand for life-affirming change.

In solidarity with steadfastdetermination of Lummi Nation

“We stand with the Lummi Nation in opposition to the Gateway Pacific coal terminal! Warrior Up!”

These cries of support were heard in the stirring docu-mentary, “Our Sacred Obligation”. Thank you to Ken Crawbuck for showing this film as part of his Tragedy of the Commons film series on March 21.

Thank you also to the San Juan Island Library for hosting this well-attended event. We were fortunate to have Freddie Lane of the Lummi Nation here to present his creation—a film that tells the story of the Lummi and the totem pole they carved to honor the communities living in the path that oil and coal travel, from the mines to export on the Salish Sea.

Robin Everett of the Sierra Club was also at the screening and talked about local grassroots opposition helping to stop 3-out-of-the-5 coal terminals proposed for our region.

Katie Fleming from Friends of the San Juans talked about the Lummi’s recent request of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to deny the permit for the proposed coal termi-nal at Cherry Point, citing its “adverse impacts that cannot be mitigated”.

The film movingly recounted the steadfast determination on the part of First Nations to speak up for the protection of clean air and water for everyone, especially for the next generations. Their “sacred obligation” to do so is inspiring.

Healthy and active, cradle to grave;Vote ‘Yes” on Island Rec levy

On behalf of the 15 trustees of the San Juan Island Prevention Coalition, it is my pleasure to announce our support for the levy request for Island Rec that goes before the voters on April 28, 2015.

The mission of San Juan Island Prevention Coalition is to reduce substance abuse among our youth and to create a community culture supporting healthy choices and respon-sible behaviors in youth and adults. For over 30 years Island Rec has provided drug and alcohol free events, activities and sports for San Juan Island residents.

Island Rec provides a lifetime of fun activities. From the Smart Start sports development program for 3-6 year olds to the Active Senior Fitness program for 55-plus adults, any islander can stay active their entire life.

It is as easy as walking a trail from American Camp to Friday Harbor, or playing in a co-ed softball league, or skateboarding at the Skate Park, or even going to watch a Friday Harbor High School sporting event, like football or volleyball, because Island Rec also underwrites the funding for all high school sports.

Please join the Prevention Coalition in voting “Yes” for the Island Rec Levy Renewal in April.

Letters to the Editor

By Emily GreenbergJournal Reporter

What’s philosophical, sexy, yet still fun for the whole family? The upcoming aerial acrobatic show at San Juan Community Theatre—that’s what.

Acrobatic Conundrum, a contemporary circus arts com-pany from Seattle, has been on tour throughout Northern California and the Pacific Northwest since early March. The troupe will perform their new show “The Language of Chance,” April 3, 7:30 p.m., at the theatre.

“Our goal is to inspire and delight audiences,” said Ty Vennewitz, Acrobatic Conundrum performer. “We hope people take away something intellectual as well as the wow of the amazing circus skills.”

The show, “The Language of Chance,” is based on the short story “The Library of Babel,” by Jorge Luis Borges. Through multifaceted moves like contortion and aerial acrobatics, the group meddles its way through making sense in a nonsensical world. While Acrobatic Conundrum performs often in cities like Seattle, San Francisco, and even New York, they look forward to bringing their disciplines of circus, theater and dance to Friday Harbor.

“In big cities you’re competing with a lot of shows and things to do every night,” Vennewitz said. “It’s nice to go into small towns.

Though Vennewitz describes the set the troupe travels with as “fairly minimalist,” one can expect large helium balloons, a cuyr-wheel (think big metal ring that spins like a coin with someone inside of it) among other props. Of course, no circus show would be complete without at least one clown, a role which Vennewitz plays himself.

Bringing the act to Friday Harbor has been six months in the making, according to SJCT Artistic Director Susan Williams. Because the group travels throughout the entire country, timing had to be just right. Thanks to relationships with the performing arts centers on both Lopez and Orcas islands, Williams was able to bring Acrobatic Conundrum to San Juan as well.

“Because of triple booking we can bring in acts we couldn’t otherwise afford,” she said.

The show will also be performed on Lopez and Orcas that

same weekend.While the content of the performance ought to invoke

some deep thought, overall it’s intended to entertain. The performers stick to a strict schedule of rehearsing and train-ing while on the road, in between shows, and the hard work pays off. Just wait to see what amazing things they can do with their bodies.

“It’s a celebration of the human body,” Vennewitz said. Tickets: $20 adults, $10 students, $5 student RUSH at the

door. For more, visit www.sjctheatre.org.

Don't be deceived by the charming photograph on the cover.

"The Salish Sea: Jewel of the Pacific Northwest" is much more than a coffee table book. While its daz-zling array of photos are daz-zling in their own right, co-authors Dr. Joe Gaydos and

Audrey DeLella Benedict of Orcas Island-based SeaDoc Society pay tribute to the San Juans inland sea, one of the world's largest, with 6,535 square miles of sea surface, as well as its history and intricate marine eco-system, through eyes of an inquisitive scientist and in a lively narrative of compel-ling stories.

Benedict and Gaydos will be at Griffin Bay Bookstore to talk about their recently released 147-page book, co-

published by Cloud Ridge Publishing and SeaDoc Society, Thursday, April 9, beginning at 7 p.m.

The upcoming event includes a slide-show pre-sentation as well.

Whaz’ Up In the ‘Hood’!

Around TownAgility check: Inter-island ‘Hop-Scotch’ tournament makes a comebackPAGE 17

By Emily GreenhornTo some it’s breath-

taking, to others it’s just bizarre. The newly erected building, now the permanent home to the once homeless Islands Museum of Art, has certainly got the town talking.

“We want to show people that we’re not alone in daring, adven-turous architecture,” said IMA head of mar-keting Rebecca Snarks. “Great minds think alike.”

Beginning April 3, IMA’s new weekly rotating exhibit, “Ugly Architecture through the Ages: A Subjective Study” will feature a dif-ferent building each week that’s sure to engender conversation.

Superimposed onto the museum’s walls, an in-depth virtual tour is the forefront of the exhibit. The cho-sen buildings architects will be on hand via Skype to answer any ques-tions, and give the backstory to what inspired such bravery. Some of the buildings architects are deceased, but their ghosts will be available for feed-back. Because IMA is a non-profit organization, and paying the dead architects to visit from other realms, donations are vehemently requested.

If enough interest is generated, IMA will host field trips to the build-ings in the future, Snarks said.

Keeping in island theme, the first showcased building is the Big Duck in Long Island, NY. The Duck was built in 1931 by Duck Farmer Martin Mauer to attract duck egg buyers. The duck was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. Functioning now mostly as a duck history museum, the IMA board feels its build-ing has a lot in common with the quacker.

“Because we are the first museum of its kind in the San Juans we’re hoping to eventually be added to the National Register as well,” Sparks said.

After the Big Duck will be Federation Square in Melbourne, Australia. This is Melbourne’s first public square. It’s sweeping glass atri-um is of particular interest. While the

build-ing was once consid-ered as the winner of many archi-tectural design competitions, many Aussie’s are still skeptical of its beau-ty. The building has been listed as one of the 30 ugliest buildings in the world in several travel blogs.

The new exhibit is sure to beg the question of “what is art,” and should prove be a reminder that aesthetics are entirely subjective.

Ugly Architecture through the Ages at IMA

By Cooleen Smithwick ArmstrangeA group of nuns on a tiny island in the San Juans are

capitalizing on the legalization of marijuana. Their new growth operation, dubbed Holy Smokes, will be open on April 20 at 4:20 p.m.

“It’s not a ‘bad habit’ if you partake in moderation,” said the nuns, who wished to remain anonymous until the first buds are in bloom. “We are always looking for creative ways to supplement our income and with our agricultural opportunities here, we decided to go into the pot industry.”

The nuns plan on calling their new business venture “Holy Smokes.” All proceeds will benefit drug prevention for youths.

Word on the street has been positive – except from the Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce.

“We wanted to start our own cottage industry for mari-juana and call it ‘chamber pot,’” said Executive Director Lancelot Eventide. “But now the nuns have stolen our thun-der and run off with the idea.”

The marijuana will be sold in the ferry lines via a roam-ing pot distributor. There will also be drive-up service in Eastsound, the town of Friday Harbor and Lopez Village.

“The Pope has given us his blessing,” said the nuns. “We are lighting up a new frontier.”

The idea came to WSF Chief Daveed Mossely after he attended a conference at Swinomish Casino in Anacortes. Although not a gambler, Mossely was drawn to the slot machines and the nature of pure chance.

“New ideas are what makes this country great,” said Mosseley said in a recent press release.

Thanks to that epiphany, WSF has teamed up with Swinomish Casino to not only install slot machines for riders with reservations on all ferries by 2016, but to include an extra-special

prize in those games of chance: the golden ticket.

The golden ticket will pro-vide a guaranteed spot on any ferry at any time–no reserva-tion required. If for some rea-son the ticket holder misses a ferry, they will also be given access to any airplane or heli-copter leaving the island.

Mossely, who was a huge fan of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” wants to give something back to residents and tourists who commute in the waters of the Salish Sea.

“There has been so much pressure on the ferries sys-tem to be everything for everyone,” Mossely said. “We’ve lost that whimsical mystical energy that we had when this whole travel by

What’s Happening!

San Juan County Sheriff ’s Department reported responding to these calls:

March 20: Expired tags and a familiar face led to an early morning arrest of an Orcas Island man for driving under delusions of grandeur. The 25-year-old, who was pulled over shortly before 7 a.m. near the intersection of Crow Valley and Deer Harbor roads, claimed to have diplomatic immunity from having to register his vehicle and that he could sprint to the summit of Turtleback Mountain without stopping. He reportedly is a spitting image of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.

n A San Juan Island woman was flown off-island for a mental health evaluation following a late-night encounter with a family of raccoons. The 53-year-old, who claimed to have done the voice-over for the Alvin and the Chipmunks, was taken into protective custody at about 1 a.m. follow-ing complaints by Portland Fair-area residents about ear-splitting screeches and high-pitched squeals coming from the woods nearby. She was reportedly surrounded by a half-dozen raccoons and singing a Broadway tune when deputies happened upon the congregation in a clearing in the brush.

March 22: Allegations of assault prompted the arrest of a Lopez Island woman accused of butchering a song at a kara-oke contest. The 22-year-old, flustered by a wardrobe mal-

function during the performance, according to one witness, reportedly improvised lyrics to Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” and sang off-pitch, off-key and without proper passion. She was taken into custody for creating a public nuisance, a misdemeanor offense.

n A 54-year-old man identified as homeless and “full of himself ” was taken into custody for no real reason after an early morning encounter with authorities at a San Juan Island campground. The man, who claimed his recreational vehicle serves both as a home and mobile office, was on the island to conduct research for a book extolling the virtues and scenic beauty of the area. Deputies reportedly read a couple paragraphs from an earlier book by the itinerant author and were unimpressed.

March 23: A 20-pound bag of dog food, a squeaky toy and a single slipper disappeared from an Orcas Island pet supply store in apparent after-hours break-in. The miss-ing merchandise, valued at $733, had been on display in the front window of the Eastsound shop. A series of paw prints outlined in colored chalk were reportedly found on the concrete floor of the store, located next to a fire hydrant near the Village Green.

March 25: An alleged violation of the local ban on genetically modified organism prompted the arrest of two professors and four graduate students at UW Friday Harbor Labs. The six scientists reportedly were inserting flying squirrel DNA into sea cucumber tissues as part of a federally funded research project. Deputies seized various

pieces of laboratory equipment, including microscopes, laptops, computer monitors, petri dishes and a box full of assorted Birkenstocks, as well as the latest copy of National Geographic, as part of the investigation.

n A late-night altercation over earthquake preparedness prompted the arrest of a half-dozen Lopez Island residents. The southend-area neighbors, who share an emergency shelter equipped with a compost toilet, reportedly came to blows over the merits of storing black beans versus refried beans, and whose iTunes playlist is more bluesy.

March 28: Excessive speed led to a high-speed chase, a late-night traffic stop and the subsequent arrest of an Orcas Island woman who reportedly was bored out of her mind. The 33-year-old, who was pulled over near the intersection of North Beach and Bartel roads at about 2 a.m., initially claimed not to have noticed lights flashing in her review mirror but later admitted driving fast was an ideal antidote for a faulty internet connection that prevented her from watching a favorite Netflix program.

Sheriff’s Log

‘floating on water’ thing started. The golden ticket will return some of the innocence we’ve lost.”

On a Facebook page enti-tled, “Has Daveed Mossely lost his mind,” islanders and mainlanders alike question

this sudden change in gears by WSF.

“They want us to focus on all this new casino stuff…it’s classic misdirection,” said Lynn McLynnluy. “But what I want to know is what are they hiding from us?”

Another islander, Cort McCortly, wants to know how much money WSF would be profiting from the

slot machines. Other islanders are con-

fused because Mossely was working with WSF after he officially resigned in 2014.

“The whole thing is fishy,” said one commentator.

Mossely said he would be happy to answer these questions and more at an all you can seafood buffet at his home in Southern

California. “To get love you must

give love,” Mossely said of his new outlook on the nature of public transporta-tion and life itself. “It’s the only way to succeed in this world these days.”

To attend this meeting of the minds contact Mossely at: [email protected].

‘Egg-static’ eventPrep Sports Roundup

On your mark, get set… hunt! An “egg-normous opportunity for fun for all ages will

unfold Easter Sunday, April 5, as the San Juan Island Firefighters Association hosts its annual Easter Egg Hunt at Jackson’s Beach.

The actual hunt will be preceded by a special appear-ance by the busiest creature of the day, the Easter Bunny, who will pose for photographs with fans of all ages as well.

The engine horn will blow at 1 p.m. to signal the start of the hunt. Children ages 0-12 are encouraged to participate; hunting grounds are partitioned into age-appropriate categories.

A bounty of prizes are in store for the battalion of hunt-ers and there will be tons of edible eggs as well.

In keeping with tradition, the Firefighters Association will be collecting donations for the Food Bank as part of the event.

Eggs will be dyed Friday, April 3, beginning at 5 p.m. at the former Town of Friday Harbor fire station, across the street from rear parking lot of King’s Market. Families are welcome to join in the egg-dying action.

FH prevails over Lions in 9th; 9-6

Sophomore Kai Herko knocked in the game win-ning run in the ninth inning and James Guard notched his first win of the season on the mound, as the Friday Harbor baseball team eclipsed Concrete in a 9-6 league win in extra innings.

With the victory, the Wolverines improved to 2-1 in league play and 3-1 overall.

Senior Brandin Allen drove in three runs and

Isaiah Hauck had two RBIs in the road win March 27 at Concrete.

The Wolverines face Bellingham on the road Thursday and host Forks in a double-header Saturday, April 11, beginning at 10 a.m. at Hartman Field.

FH softball team rides win streak

The Friday Harbor fast-pitch softball bounced back from a anemic offensive

outing in its season opener to claim its next three games by decisive margins.

After falling to South Whidbey 12-0 in a March 17 non-conference season opener, the Wolverines routed Orcas Island 17-1 in their Northwest 2B/1B League opener March 24 at home. They swept a dou-ble-header from league rival Concrete on the road March 24, 13-6 and 8-5, to improve to 2-0 in league and 2-1 overall (the result of only the first game of the dou-ble-header against the Lions counts in league standings).

Friday Harbor was slated to host Darrington Tuesday and will then embark on perhaps its toughest stretch of its 20-game regular sea-son schedule.

They face Division 2A Bellingham in a dou-ble-header on the road Thursday, followed by a non-conference game at home Monday, April 6, against 2A Squalicum and then travel to 2A Burlington-Edison for a showdown versus the 2A Tigers.
