The County Council decided April 9 to postpone the startup date of the critical areas ordinanc-es until March 1 of next year.

The critical areas ordinance, approved by the council in December, was initially slated to go into effect on March 1 of this year. In February, the council extended that effective date until May 1. At its April 9 meeting, the council voted 5-to-1, with Councilman Jamie Stephens opposed, to push back that startup date until the spring of 2014.

Stephanie Buffum, Executive Director of Friends of the San Juans, spoke in opposition to extending the effective date. “I’m shocked and amazed that we are having this conversation” after “we watched this process languish since 2005.” Council candidate Lisa Byers of Orcas Island suggest-ed the planning staff should use any extra implementation time to “identify a few case studies evalu-ating the properties” under both the current law and the new law.

Stephens, chairman of the council, said he was voting against the delay because “I thought December would be the better

It looks like voters won’t have to decide whether to change the number of County Council mem-bers from three to five. At least not in 2013.

Declaring themselves surprised by a negative reaction, councilmen Rich Peterson and Marc Forlenza on April 9 withdrew their proposal to increase the size of the council and a companion proposal to elect council members by district rather than countywide.

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

Both received a personal invitation from offi-cial sources. And the event was close to the heart of each.

But neither Graham Crawbuck or Reyna Ellis were quite sure of what to expect at the San Juan Island National Monument dedication ceremony last week in Anacortes.

So when Congressman Rick Larsen gave up some time allotted to him at the April 1 celebra-tion, and then ushered Reyna to the podium, it caught the Spring Street International School student a bit by surprise. Although the teen had no idea that she would be asked to speak before a rather large audience, and with television cameras rolling as well, Reyna clearly remembers that the

words came out easily.“I just said what I felt,” Reyna recalls. “But at that

moment it was all kind of a blur, then I handed the microphone to Graham.”

Reyna has since seen video of herself on Komo 4 News; here’s what she had to say:

“I would just like to thank everybody who encouraged President Obama,” she said. “You know, I feel so privileged that I get to live on this – on these beautiful islands, and that this land will be saved and preserved for my children.”

Graham conveyed a similar message when his turn came to address the crowd. Back home in Friday Harbor, he’s impressed by how many people from outside the San Juans attended the ceremony. He sees it as a testament to how much support there is for preserving the islands’ natural beauty and ecological health.

“It’s really bigger than just our county,” Graham said of the monument boundaries. “There are parts in Skagit County and in Whatcom County too.”

! !WARNING

The two teens became the face of support for the national monument by the younger generation somewhat by chance. They were first interviewed by Komo News nearly a year ago after they and about 16 other Spring Street stu-dents attended a standing-room-only April meeting of the county council. At that meeting, in which Graham spoke out in favor of the designation, the council voted without dis-sent to send a letter urging the President to establish a national monument.

On March 25, President Obama did just that. Using executive authority afforded under the 1906 Antiquities Act, he created the San Juan Islands National Monument, designating 1,000 acres of land admin-istered by the Bureau of

Land Management as con-servation lands. It was an alternative route to provide those lands, which consists of numerous parcels and an assortment of tiny islets, rocks and reefs, a greater, more permanent, level of protection from possible development. An earlier effort, led by Larsen and U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell, to have the lands designated as a National Conservation Area had met resistance in the House and was stalled.

While support for the mon-ument has earned them each their “15 minutes of fame,” Reyna and Graham say their attachment to the BLM lands began long before last year. Reyna has visited the light-house on San Juan Island’s Cattle Point on numerous occasions and carries great affection for Lopez Island’s Watmough Bay as well.

“It’s really gorgeous,” she said of Watmough.

And Graham has helped conduct field surveys for

the UW Friday Harbor Labs along the rocks off San Juan Island’s Kanaka Bay, a nutri-ent-rich habitat for various species of shorebirds, like killdeer and oyster catchers.

He’s discovered first-hand why the nearshore habitat of the San Juans is known as one of the most biologically

diverse places on the planet. He believes that’s worth pro-tecting, and preserving.

“I think it’s important to know that the government is listening to us,” he said. “I’m glad to see that because there are other environmen-tal issues out there that are just as relevant.”

When a crime is committed, the effects ripple outward and can touch many lives.

Victims of crime experience numerous difficulties such as understanding the legal system, testifying in a courtroom and sorting through raw emotions. San Juan County has free resources to help navigate through these challenges.

“It doesn’t matter if your crime is current or if you were a victim in the past and still have questions,” said Christine Miller, a victim advocate for the Crime Victim Service Center, which is run through the prosecutor’s office. “Sometimes people are witnesses to a pretty violent crime and they need support ... it’s not just always the spouse or the relative who is affected. Sometimes community mem-bers need help.”

The center is funded by state and federal money from the Office of Crime Victims and the Department of Justice. It has been based out of Friday Harbor since 2006 but serves all county residents.

“The prosecutor has done a stellar job in making sure that San Juan County has these services for victims,” Miller said.

The crime center has a small staff, but is part of “Region 12,” which includes Skagit County and Bellingham and por-tions of Snohomish County.

It offers services to crime victims and their non-offending

family members, friends, secondary victims, and witnesses. Miller can lend guidance to victims whose cases are current-ly in court, give investigative interview support, help fill out protection and anti-harassment orders and provide medical advocacy for those who are injured as a result of crime and qualify for financial compensation from the state.

“If the victim is also a witness, we make sure they are well cared for during the day of their testimony,” Miller said. “We give them a safe space … when a victim is going through a trial, it’s extremely stressful.”

The center does not offer therapy, but refers clients to local resources like Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services, counselors and medical facilities.

“We can open doors and ask questions and guide them in the right direction,” Miller said.

The center handles victims of robbery, identity theft, assault, vehicular incidents, harassment and hate crimes. It also provides assistance for family members of homicide victims.

Miller says the courts see a lot of mental health issues and more elder abuse and identity theft than most people real-ize. A common scam is someone posing as a grandchild in an emergency and in need of a wire transfer.

“We want victims to feel that in our society today, there is support,” Miller said. “We will do our best to listen to you and do what we can to find a proper resource.”

How to reach the Crime Victim Service centerChristine Miller can be reached at 370-7610. The office is

located on Second Street in Friday Harbor across from the courthouse. There is also a 24-hour crisis line for victims of crime: 1-800-346-7555.

date rather than go into another Spring construction sea-son” with CAO implementation uncertain.

The reasons for the delay as stated in the approved ordinance: some of the tools to assist property owners are not yet complete; staff time for implementation is limited because staff must address any CAO changes mandated by the Growth Management Hearings Board in its September, 2013, decision of the CAO appeals; and, the breadth and magnitude of those CAO appeals creates uncertainty regarding the future structure of the regulations.

At the council hearing, Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord explained that because the ordinances had been duly passed, they were valid laws for Growth Management Act purposes and that extending the effective date would

not affect the validity of the CAOs. Leonard Bauer, managing director of Growth Management

Services for Washington state, confirmed that changing the effective date of the CAOs was not that unusual and, unless the CAO was ruled invalid by the Growth Management Hearings Board, eligibility for grants and loans would not be affected.

The validity of the CAOs and compliance with the Growth Management Act could be addressed by the Growth Board, which is presently considering a package of appeals filed against the CAOs by the Common Sense Alliance, Friends of the San Juans and others. The board is expected to issue a decision by September, and whether it will require the county to make corrections to the CAOs without invalidat-ing them remains to be seen.

If the GMHB decides that provisions of the CAOs violate GMA standards and regulations, the CAOs could be found invalid. Under present law, such a finding could expose the county to various penalties, two of which could involve withholding state funding for public works projects under the Public Works Assistance Account or for water pollution control facilities under Department of Ecology loans and grants. Withholding of such funds, however, has been rarely imposed and is considered unlikely.

Meanwhile, a bill being considered by the state Legislature deals with this subject. Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1401, titled “An act relating to the timing of penalties under the growth management act,” removes most of the present penalty provisions for planning jurisdictions, such as San Juan County, who have completed required ordinances or regulations, whether or not the ordinances are being appealed or reviewed.

The bill does retain penalties, however, if the Growth Board or a court makes a finding that the county’s CAOs are legally invalid, which is the case today under current law.

News briefs

Medical center open Saturdays starting in May

PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center will extend clinic hours beginning in May.

Carrie Sun, MD, will join the Peace Island team of caregivers. She will work We d n e s d a y - S a t u r d a y, enabling PIMC to meet the health needs of a com-munity that increases sig-nificantly over the summer months.

PeaceHealth is recruit-ing an additional physician in order to continue the expanded coverage after Dr. Sun leaves.

According to Cynthia

Cazacopol, director of clini-cal services, Dr. Sun’s arriv-al will allow Peace Island Medical Center to open a Saturday clinic and extend clinic hours.

“On May 11, we will offer appointments on Saturday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.,” said Cazacopol. “And the clinic’s weekday hours are expanding – as of Monday, June 3 – to cover 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.”

Appointments can be scheduled by phoning 378-2141.

PIMC Medical Director Michael Wingren, MD, said an additional staff physi-cian on staff will provide expanded health care access to Islanders.

“Increasing the hours that

we are open is a big step on the journey to ensuring Islanders have access to the care they need – here at home,” Dr. Wingren said.

SJI Fire & Rescue seeks volunteers for crisis response

San Juan Island Fire Rescue is looking for vol-unteers to join its newly formed Major Emergency Response Team.

MERT volunteers receive and give information to families and community agencies during major emer-gencies and crisis, such as a large wildfires, earthquakes or major snowstorms.

Volunteers must live within walking distance of

a local fire station and must attend a training session once a year.

MERT volunteers can-not be members of any other emergency response team, so they would be free to respond in the event of an emergency. MERT members will not be involved in most emer-gency procedures. They will only respond to major emergencies.

The first meeting of the MERT team will be Thursday, April 25, at 1 p.m. at the Mullis Street Fire Station.

Interested volunteers should contact Ron Garner, Logistics Crew Chief, at 378-7722 or e-mail Ron at [email protected].

County Charter provided for six part-time council mem-bers, replacing the three full-time county commissioners. In 2012, the Charter Review Commission proposed three charter amendments, the first of which changed the number of council mem-bers from six to three.

In November, those three amendments were approved by about 55 percent of the voters, setting in motion the April 23 countywide election of three new council mem-bers from three “residency districts”, roughly corre-sponding to San Juan, Orcas and Lopez/Shaw islands.

A council of five members is not a new idea for county politics, having been dis-cussed widely in 2005 and in 2012 (and in between). Among other complaints, it was thought that a six-person council would be dysfunctional because four votes would be needed to pass anything, including the county budget.

Before withdrawing his proposals, Peterson repeat-ed an earlier assertion that the council had authority to propose a council of five.

“I thought when Mark and I started this, it was something that would be beneficial to do for the pub-lic,” he said.

Before the current round of elections began, Peterson said he would not run for

the three-person council, believing islanders were better represented and bet-ter informed when each district voted only for their own representative on the council.

Forlenza said he was shocked and troubled by the local response to the idea.

“The feedback I’ve been getting has been rather vit-riolic,” he said. “I have to emphasize from the bottom of my heart that the intent was to bring democracy in all its forms back to the people.”

During earlier debate on the issue and at the April 9 hearing, several council members, Rick Hughes and council Chairman Jamie Stephens, expressed agree-ment with the idea of a five-person council in concept, but thought it should be accomplished by a citizen initiative rather than a coun-cil-proposed referendum.

Because Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord expressed uncertainty as to whether the 2012 charter amendments would per-mit either the council or the people to change dis-trict boundaries, the council passed a motion by coun-cilwoman Patty Miller to consider another possible charter amendment on May 7, clarifying how the charter could be amended.

At least for the foresee-able future, the three council members elected later this month will have the council chambers to themselves.

San Juan County is close to signing a contract for detailed aerial photographs of the county with Pictometry International of Rochester, N.Y.

On March 12, the County Council approved a proposal by Information Services Manager Stan Matthews to negoti-ate a contract worth $139,951 with Pictometry for photo-graphs and laser-generated “views” called LIDARs that are used by a variety of government and private agencies.

According to Matthews, further negotiations with Pictometry brought the price down to $122,500, payable over three years, with the option for two additional sets of photographs at the same price over six additional years. Matthews said he dis-cussed a potential contract for aerial photography services with another provider, Access Geographic of Tempe, Ariz., but has received no competing bids for the current project.

The county’s Geographic Information System is a com-puter-based system of maps and data that is used by most of the county’s departments and agencies, including the assessor and departments of Community Development and Planning, Public Works, and Health and Community Services. The current budget for the GIS function in the county is about $270,000. Maps and data can be accessed at http://www.sanjuanco.com/gis/gislib.aspx.

Matthews assured the County Council that the photogra-phy and accompanying computer technology are important

for county operations and that various departments and eight other non-government agencies need the photographs and other data and are willing to pay for them.

In an explanatory memorandum to the council, Matthews said the cost of photographing the county five years ago was $160,000 - and the county did not get any of the “extras,” such as oblique photographs and LIDARs, that Pictometry would provide.

One of those extras is air fare, hotel accommodations and conference registration for one person at an “advanced training user conference” — at an unspecified location. Another is “up to 200 square miles of disaster coverage imagery to be described in contract.”

Matthews presented the plan to update and improve the county’s aerial photographic portfolio to the council March 12. In a 4-2 decision, the council, with Marc Florenza and Bob Jarman voting against, gave the plan its tentative approval, subject to outside agencies committing to one-third of the contract amount and subject to county cancel-lation of the deal “for any reason.”

On April 3, Matthews said that various outside agencies (including the Port of Friday Harbor, the Land Bank, the Preservation Trust, OPALCO, and Roche Harbor Resort) have committed to their portions of the funding, so he is negotiating a final contract. Matthews says the contract can be signed by county Manager Bob Jean without further action or review by the council.

‘Jazzed ‘by Food Bank benefit

Classic jazz is alive and well on San Juan Island. If you doubt it, you should have been at the “Jazzed about the Food Bank“ con-cert on Sunday, April 7 at St. David’s Church.

The San Juan Jazz Quintet, consisting of Rich Barker, saxophone; Thor Hanson, bass; Jonathan Piff, guitar; Rob Simpson, keyboard and Dennis Willows, drums, were joined by Hawk Arps of Lopez Island, vibraphone and Jill Urbach, vocals. The musicians donated their tal-ent and time, and even the sales of their CD’s, as a ben-efit for the Friday Harbor Food Bank.

SJ Dems have not donated a dime

As chairwoman of the local Democratic Party Organization, I would like to correct the erroneous belief of some members of the voting public that the San Juan County Democratic Party has donated to cer-tain candidates for County

Council in the April 23 elec-tion. This is not true.

The local Democratic organization has not given any money to any candi-date. Moreover, the local Democratic organization has not spent any money in any local campaign for this council race; either for mail-ings or advertisements. We do not have any plans to do so before this election.

I can categorically state that neither the Washington state Democratic Party nor the National Democratic Party have donated any time or money to our local coun-cil races. In fact, I doubt that the National Democratic Party even knows that we are having county council races now.

For those who want to know who has contrib-uted to any of the county council races and to the political action com-mittee, TrustIslanders!, you can go to the Public Disclosure Commission website at www.pdc.wa.gov/MvcQuerySystem.

Big boost in wake of flawed critique

Mr. Dehlendorf, on behalf of TrustIslanders! I want to thank you for your very informative letter., “Beware of those touting ‘Trust’,” April 10, pg. 6.

You have given our grass-roots organization great press, while at the same time your letter has become our poster-child for why TrustIslanders! was formed in the first place. Your abil-ity to gather falsehoods into well rounded opinions and innuendoes truly amazes me.

For those readers

who are more factual in nature, I suggest that you read the interview about TrustIslanders! on the home page of the Island Guardian www.islandguardian.com. I also suggest that you go to our website, www.Trustislanders.org and read our mission statement.

TrustIslanders! has received tremendous sup-port from the working people of the islands. Many do not have the resources to donate while others are reaching deeply into their pockets.

Some donors with more resources are sending larger checks to help make up for those that are struggling. We are giving a voice to the majority of islanders who really are independent in their thinking and do not feel represented by any political party. Most have expressed a feeling of sad-ness as they watch the island way of life slip away.

Mr. Dehlendorf, as a direct result of your let-ter, we have received more financial pledges in one day than in any previous week. Your letter has truly helped us get our message out. Thanks again.

A better balance;Jarman in Dist. 1

Please vote for non-par-tisan County Council can-didates.

In general, conservatives use big business and liberals use big government to pro-mote specific agendas, and many times these entities work together as public/pri-vate partnerships. Often big business and big govern-ment work together against the interests and constitu-

tional rights of small busi-nesses and citizens.

To them, it is all about money, power, and control. Big money donations usual-ly indicate which candidates are financially controlled. One look at the current PDC reports makes it clear who we should not elect.

Legislation needs to be based on facts, not assump-tions. The rush to sign a CAO document that was full of hand-written chang-es on the day of signing was wrong. The backroom Open Meetings Act viola-tions were wrong. The lack of science in our hastily approved and divisive CAO were so wrong that both property rights groups and the Friends (Friends of the San Juans) oppose it.

We need to vote for candi-dates willing to correct those flawed regulations. In my district, Bob Jarman, sup-ports boots-on-the-ground conservation, over prohibi-tion. Bob is less likely to be manipulated and more will-ing to find real solutions to identified problems.

“Due Process” means not using hasty, arbitrary and capricious actions that have dire economic consequenc-es. The use of the coordina-tion process, rather than a top down process, is imper-ative to finding meaningful solutions and keeping our county out of lawsuits.

Fiscally responsible con-servationists are far better than prohibitionists. Vote for Bob Jarman for County Council.

Stakes are high; Pratt in District 1

My support for the can-didate from San Juan Island for the County Council goes to Lovel Pratt.

Her intelligent and wise service, both on the coun-ty’s planning commission and on the county council, would ordinarily have been enough to sway me. But it is her work in the oil spill prevention field that I find most important at this time

in San Juan County history.While she was on

the county Council, the Washington State Association of Counties appointed her to three key state-wide committees: the Cross Partnership Oil Spill Workgroup; the Oil Spill Rule Advisory Committee; and the Vessel Traffic Risk Assessment Update Steering Committee. This experi-ence, along with that on their Legislative Steering Committee, is what this county needs.

Speaking as a marine engineer, and as a chief engineer during most of my 25 years in the U.S. Merchant Marine, I know the hazards that face us if the coal terminal project in Bellingham goes through. We are going to need Pratt’s experience to help counter projects that would affect our county adversely.

The CAO (critical areas ordinance), jobs, construc-tion, and other important issues – all pale compared to

A freezer-burned Alaska buddy, Archie, called me the other day to grumble after a long winter and a bad case of cabin fever. I suggested a stronger happy

light, changing out his long johns and tapering off the whiskey some.

I admitted that I miss the hunting, testy wilderness adventures and entertaining “circle up and fire inward” dysfunction up there. Archie snorted that from what he reads on the web the San Juans don’t take a backseat to anywhere in terms of dis-tortion of reality and denial of the lessons of history.

The next day the cogent piece by Judge Darrah described how easily an election can be affected by the artful use of hyperbole. Nothing surprising there. However, some of the sin-cere but seriously misguided statements of Mr. Petersen’s response, (“Resistence grows due to heavy hand of CAO,” April 5, www.sanjuanjour-nal.com), trouble me.

I am baffled by Mr. Petersen’s determined use of “pristine” to describe our county. He has made this term a linch-pin in his argument. Websters defines the value-laden term; Pristine (adj.) 1. Remaining in a pure state; uncorrupted. 2. Of or typical of the earliest time or condition; primitive or original.

Anyone with even a pass-ing knowledge of the train-loads of scientific data on the Salish Sea region real-izes that, as visually appeal-ing and inspiring as these islands are, there is nothing pristine about them. Not by a long shot.

The saltwater moat sur-rounding us has been seri-ously fouled and greatly diminished from its rich

and diverse original biotic condi-tion as a result of human activi-ties. We did it and we should try to fix what we can.

We are all subject to our own biases based on life’s experienc-es. This “shifting baselines syn-drome” is understandable and forgivable. Not so a blatant denial of reality and purposeful efforts to confuse.

the oil spill that is inevitable given the hugely increased shipping through these islands that is projected if the coal terminal project goes through. The issue of property rights is para-mount when consider-ing what a major oil spill would do to property val-ues in the San Juan Islands. We’re worried about com-paratively small and tran-sient problems when we’re about to hit the iceberg.

What is critical for this area is leadership in oil spill prevention, readiness, and response. While all the candidates say they are against the coal terminal project, only Lovel Pratt has the experience to lead us through this crisis. She has my vote.

A quality combo; Hughes in Dist. 2

Here’s why I am vot-ing for Rick Hughes for County Council:

Management experi-

ence: Rick has many years of experience in the real world operation and man-agement of both big busi-ness and small business. He will bring proven, day-to-day expertise on bud-gets, policies, legislation, personnel matters, and the many other issues brought to the County Council.

Love for the Islands: His family has roots on Orcas Island since the 1940s. This life long experience has given Rick a deeply rooted sense of what it means to be an indepen-dent, neighbor-loving, and freedom-loving islander. He has eagerly contrib-uted his time and talent to the Orcas Island com-munity on the Eastsound Planning and Review Committee, the Farmers’ Market, the school’s Farm to Cafeteria program, the Orcas Seniors, the Food Bank, and the Board of Health.

Personality: Rick has a wonderful, outgoing per-sonality which will serve him well with county staff, visitors, and most of all, with his constituents. He is keenly aware of the impor-

Editorial

It’s up to youThere’s a good chance if you’re reading this

that you’ve either already cast your ballot for the new county council or plan do so soon.

Journal readers actively participate in the elec-tion process. The five pages of letters to the edi-tor in this week’s edition are testament to that — as is the 80-plus percent turnouts by local voters although turnout for the February primary was only 53 percent.

Now, take a few minutes to tell your friends and neighbors to be sure to vote. Several races will be close, perhaps decided by only a few votes. Your recommendations and their votes might be decisive. Let’s get the turnout up to our usual standards.

Since you’re already in the voting mood, plan to vote in the upcoming OPALCO board elec-tions. Like the council election, that election is countywide as well.

The OPALCO election is especially important this year because the member-owned utility is deciding whether to roll out countywide broad-band service - at a cost of $15 per month per household for infrastructure and perhaps $75 per month for internet and telephone service.

While the board has taken several steps toward implementing the project, final decisions won’t be made until later this year. Three board mem-bers will be elected. You might want your choice to share your view on the broadband project.

By Gordy Petersen

I enjoyed reading Judge John Darrah’s guest column “Deconstructing the CAO Campaign,” April 3, pg. 7. It may help him understand the “Anti’s” if he had an inside

look into the movement. I’ve been embedded in what I call the “Rural Resistance”

for about 25 years. At times I’ve felt alone but now there are many of us. I’m certainly not the leader. This movement is made up of very independent folks who don’t follow orders very well.

We do not receive grants like the (Friends of the San Juans) who are paid to lobby for more government author-

ity over land use. Well-funded state agen-cies like DOE and Puget Partnership are also allied against us.

The Resistance pays for the occasional advertisement or public forum by the fruits of our own labor. Letters to the Editor are random but sincere.

We are all volunteers who are loosely organized and pitch in our own money and resources to defend what we see as a war against our rural way of life. Most of us are long time islanders. How did this movement grow?

The lies got bigger and more obvious. We’ve been told that if we don’t support strict regulations, then we must want orcas and salmon to die. We have been

Uniquely skilled; Byers in District 2

I am writing to urge sup-port for Lisa Byers’s election to the County Council.

We badly need intelli-gent, responsible, and well informed representatives to administer San Juan County, and under our newly adopted system of three countywide officials, each representative will have an especially powerful voice in decisions that affect us all.

Lisa Byers is unusually well qualified for this task. As the executive director of OPAL, the Orcas com-munity land trust, she has led an exceptionally suc-cessful effort to provide affordable housing on Orcas Island. Over the years of her leadership, OPAL has put 138 families in perma-nently affordable ownership homes and taken over oper-ation of Lavender Hollow apartments, which provides affordable housing for an additional 22 families.

Leading this effort has required Lisa to be inti-mately familiar with the public world of citizens’

needs, real estate practices, the economics of affordable housing, and community planning. At the same time, she has guided OPAL’s oper-ations, which include such diverse activities as rais-ing funds from grants and gifts, dealing with federal and state housing officials, and identifying appropriate recipients for OPAL’s ser-vices.

Lisa will bring to the council years of experience in our county, intelligence, and a habit of working hard. She will make an exception-al public servant.

It’s in the resume;Stephens in Dist. 3

Experience counts. Prior to being elected to the coun-ty council two years ago, Jamie Stephens was a port commissioner, a substitute teacher at Lopez School, a board member of several local non-profits, includ-ing the Lopez Community Land Trust and Lopez Island Family Resource Center, and taught business class-es to future entrepreneurs using his extensive business experiences.

He has been a local com-munity leader for all of the 17 years he and his family have lived on Lopez Island.

Jamie brings a fresh and positive approach to the council and has been instrumental in resolving the county’s solid waste issues, developing innova-tive economic development opportunities and uses his

business background to control the county budget. He works to protect our communities’ environment and at the same time helps farmers find new ways to market their products.

Jamie Stephens deserves to be reelected.

if it is built upon false assumptions then the entire argument is faulty. To add insult to injury, Mr. Petersen assures all that we

are either slavery-loving authoritarians or freedom-loving libertarians. And further, that those of us who support the need for

the CAO in concept are liars. How is this useful?

I roundly reject these accusatory, fact-challenged statements, not the individuals who care enough to speak their minds. We would benefit from a more fact-based and varied civic debate given the unprecedented challenges we face.

We do need more time for sorting out ramifications and crafting intelligent revi-sions to the CAO. It’s damned important. All sides sling opinions that are repeated like the misleading mantras they are. I just don’t get the frequent blurring of fact and fiction.

I will vote for candidates who exhibit the smarts and humility to understand the need

for reasonable restraints upon our selfish human interests that continue to cumulatively trash the public commons. I expect them to think creatively to transition us into a more diverse and sustainable economy.

I hope for a reduction of layered government and the real, not imagined, increas-ing intrusions into our rights of privacy. The newest coun-cil will also have to endure efforts by monkey-wrenchers to derail hard won progress in recognizing our collec-tive responsibilities to future generations and the natural world to which we remain inextricably linked.

— Editors’s note: U.S. Parks Service retiree Steve Ulvi and his wife arrived on San Juan Island in 2007, following 33 years of “irresponsible” adventure in the Far North.

told that a great catastrophe is looming over the islands because our homes are too close to the shoreline and that our mere presence in nature is something to be loathed. If we don’t accept half-mile buffers for the Peregrine Falcon we must want them extinct. None of it is true. That’s why we are seeing a paradigm shift.

Judge Darrah had his office in downtown Seattle, where Peregrine Falcons nest on top of buildings. Imagine a half-mile buffer being imposed in that densely populated area. Ridiculous? Then why does the CAO require it here? Where’s the common sense?

The CAO cannot fix a problem that doesn’t exist in the first place. According to the science these islands are pristine. The biggest lie is trying to justify these CAO prohibitions on the premise that increased protections are desperately needed. The fact is that our existing laws have done the job nicely. The evidence is all around us.

The division in our island society gener-ally breaks down along the lines of authori-tarianism versus libertarianism. It’s all about how people perceive the role of government in their lives. The authoritarians want to use the power of government to control the actions of the people, while the libertar-ians want to use the power of the people

to control government. The authoritarian nightmare has played out recently in an enforcement campaign. We have a situation now where neighbors turn in neighbors for building code violations. New regulations are used as tools to prosecute people in the most authoritarian manner.

I’ve visited a lot of homes in the islands and every one of them has some viola-tion subject to fines and possibly jail. Do we really want to treat our neighbors like criminals when they plant blueberries near a wetland, or sell organic foods from their farm stand?

Many people have seen the authoritarian path that the CAO promoters want to take us down and have said, “Enough! We love nature but we don’t worship it.” That’s why the Resistance is growing.

Don’t be surprised if the authoritarian candidates are defeated again in the next election. It’s not stealth. It’s not wealth. It’s about living free in this place we all love.

Tireless, effective;Pratt in District 1

We citizens of San Juan County are indeed fortunate to have Lovel Pratt as a can-didate for County Council in the April 23 election.

Her 20 years of cre-ative involvement in many aspects of community life have demonstrated her deep caring, both for the well-being of her fellow islanders — their housing, livelihoods, education etc. — and for the treasured environment which adds so much to Island life -– recre-ational, economic and edu-cational opportunities, and just plain enjoyment of the natural world.

Appropriately enough, since our county is an archi-pelago surrounded by state waters and Lovel has such a strong interest in protect-ing our marine environment, she has become involved in state issues related to marine waters. The Washington State Association of Counties appointed her to committees dealing with oil spills and ves-sel traffic risks. The knowl-edge she has gained and the connections she’s made are very valuable to our county and are one reason I’d like to see Lovel return to the County Council.

During Lovel’s first term on the county council the proposal to establish the Gateway Pacific coal ter-minal came to light. Lovel immediately wrote a request to have the officials in charge of the Environmental

Impact Statement hold a scoping hearing in the San Juan Islands. The full coun-cil signed it, and the whole county community had an opportunity to vent its con-cerns about the potential damage to our health and environment to the officials.

During the scoping period Lovel wrote volu-minous scoping letters to ask probing questions about the potential effects of the shipment of coal through these waters. These were also signed by the full coun-cil. The outcome of all that effort is yet to be revealed. Whatever it may be, Lovel worked tirelessly to protect the interest of the county residents and the marine environment they care so much about.

Let’s vote for Lovel and give her a chance to be as effective an advocate for San Juan County again.

‘Real world’ skill;Jarman in Dist. 1

Our leaders in Olympia have issued a statement endorsing Lovel Pratt for the San Juan Island residency district. It hews closely to Ms. Pratt’s principal cam-paign talking point: her con-nections and advocacy for county issues in Olympia.

I have no doubt that Ms. Pratt spent considerable time in Olympia during her term in Council. My ques-tion is, why?

Isn’t that the job assigned to our elected representa-tives in the Washington State Legislature — advo-cating for San Juan County’s interests in Olympia? Surely, with a county resident serv-ing as a ranking Democrat in the Senate, our interests are protected there?

I believe that this county needs council members who are available to focus on local problems using local solutions, not agen-das driven by legislators exchanging favors, or fed-eral or state agencies dan-gling grant funds that arrive with conditions that are inconsistent with the pri-orities of the people of the county. It seems unwise to rely upon ephemeral grant funds when the state and the federal government are facing staggering deficits.

I believe that we need council members willing to review existing spending and determine why—with a population that grew very little over the last decade, our county budget bal-looned from $35 million to $50 million.

I believe that we need

council members who will ask questions when staff proposes new spending, and will refrain from plac-ing on the sacrificial altar of threatened budget cuts the most important and appre-ciated county services, like senior services or 4-H, in an effort to persuade us to pass yet another levy lift.

Last November, the voters in San Juan District 1 con-sidered Ms. Pratt’s record and elected Bob Jarman to replace her. Bob Jarman has 30-plus years of experience living and working in the islands, knows first-hand what working families and small businesses require, and has been successful in “balancing checkbooks,” as it were, for several real-world enterprises.

I am voting for Bob Jarman, and encourage you to join me in doing so.

True independent;Hughes in Dist. 2

We were very happy to see this paper and the Islands’ Sounder endorse Rick Hughes for county council.

He has remained true to his promise to be an inde-pendent representative in our local government. Despite other candidates accepting partisan support from the majority party in this state, which in all hon-esty has to come with some influence from that party, Hughes refused to play the partisan card when offered and even the PAC card. In all three elections he has maintained his independent status.

Like many of you, we moved here for the oppor-tunity to raise our family in an environment where it didn’t matter what brand of jeans you wore (a 1980s problem), where you came from originally or what your beliefs were. We were attracted here by the beauty but stayed because of the lovely community of hard-working, generous and independent people like Rick Hughes.

You don’t move here if you require many government services. You prefer to do things yourself and with the cooperation of your neigh-bors because it makes you feel great and strengthens you and the bonds within your community.

Rick has shown by exam-ple what he believes are values that help strengthen a community. He supports an environment where job creation can thrive so our children can afford to raise their families here where

they grew up. The reme-dies and problems in dif-ferent communities are as different as the communi-ties themselves. As a county of islands we need inde-pendent thinkers without undue outside influences to solve the problems unique to this county.

Rick has volunteered in many different areas of our community so has an understanding of its strengths and weaknesses. His positive energy, abilities and emphasis on teamwork have improved the Farmer’s Market, many school orga-nizations, the Food Bank, the EPRC and other com-munity endeavors. He hit the ground running in his county position.

Join us in helping him maintain the momentum. Please help unite our com-

munity with a vote for Rick Hughes.

Nancy Bryant Smith passed away on Good Friday, March 29, 2013 at the age of 82.

Nancy was born a twin to Esther and Arthur Chew of Scarsdale, N.Y., on April 12, 1930. She went to Edgemont and Baldwin High Schools, attended Bennington College and graduated from Columbia University as an occupa-tional therapist.

She married William H. Bryant in 1953. She and Will raised four children, spending summers on Cape Cod.

They moved to The Sea Ranch, Calif., in 1976 and later settled on San Juan Island. In 1997 they divorced, and Nancy moved to Lake Havasu City, Ariz. She later married Wallace Smith.

Wherever she went, Nancy made countless friends. Connecting with people was the highlight of her life.

In Friday Harbor, she was a member of AAUW and helped start the walking group.

Nancy was a generous, enthusiastic and curious soul, full of encouragement and always willing to share her heart. A bright light! She will be tremendously missed by us all.

She was preceded in death by her twin brother Niels A

Chew (one month before), her brother Ralph H. Chew, and her former husband, William H. Bryant.

She is survived by her four children: Bill, Pamela, Lee Mosby and Patrick, six grandchildren: Tess and Laila Bryant, Jason and Myles Wang, and Annie and Caroline Bryant-Wampler, and her husband Wallace Smith of Arizona.

The family wishes to thank the Nathan Adelson Hospice of Las Vegas for their extraor-dinary care and help during Nancy’s last days.

A celebration of her life will be held later this spring in Friday Harbor. As a gift in her memory please consider a donation to your local Hospice.

She was born in Tacoma in 1927 and moved full time to San Juan Island in 1992. She is survived by her hus-band, Howard K. Jones and two sons,

Howard R. Jones (Kathy) and Rick Jones. She is also survived by three grandsons, Toby Jones (Emma), Jesse Jones (Lauren) and Seth Jones (Robin). She had an accounting and tax prepa-ration business in Friday Harbor for many years and was well known to many islanders as well as clients and friends in the Tacoma area.

Shirley and her husband of 67 years enjoyed island life and also loved to travel having seen most of the U.S. and

parts of the rest of the world. Shirley will be missed by those she

came in contact with in her 86 years. At her request there will be no ser-

vices. If desired, donations can be made to the charity of your choice or the Benton Hospice Service, 2350 NW Professional Dr., Corvallis, OR 97330.

Howard K. Jones currently resides at 145 NE Conifer Blvd, #37, Corvallis, OR 97330.

Janine Lendi: 1953 — 2013

A beloved local massage therapist and world-wide scuba diver, and under-water photographer, died Friday, April 5 in her home in Friday Harbor.

Janine Lendi was born in California, and loved the ocean and warm, sunny days. Her great passion was scuba diving, and she traveled extensively to view the world underwater and photograph her adventures along the way.

She was most at home in

the water, and adored all the creatures of the sea. Her e-mail address was mer-maidjanine.

Janine’s deep compas-sion for others led to a lifetime of caring for

people, first as a licensed respiratory therapist, and then as a massage therapist. She had a big, generous heart, ready sense of humor, sparkling turquoise eyes, a radiant smile and a vibrant per-sonality, and was always ready for a new adventure.

In 1998, Janine moved from California to Friday Harbor. She loved living on the island and zipped around on one of her many scooters, which she much preferred to her Toyota 4-Runner.

She always wore dazzling turquoise, magenta, and

purple colors, and her gar-den was a palette of blue, purple, and chartreuse.

Janine said one of the happiest days of her life was when she met Paul Isserlis, a native of Scotland who has lived and worked in Canada since the 1970s. They married in April 2010 and divided their time between San Juan and Salt Spring islands.

In the last few years, medical issues hampered Janine’s mobility—but not her spirit. She will be greatly missed by her hus-band, her sweet cat Tarna, and her many friends from San Juan and Salt Spring islands, California, and various places around the world.

A celebration of Janine’s life is being planned. Information to come.

Author Richard Blumenthal’s fascination with Puget Sound’s inland waters started at an early age.

He began boating on Lake Washington at the age of five and then learned of the secrets of the areas numer-ous islands while cruising the region’s

waterways, including the San Juans, with his family.

Blumenthal has recently turned that lifelong pas-sion into a historical text documenting the maritime names

and places of Washington state’s inland

waters, “Maritime Place Names: Inland Washington

Waters”.Blumenthal will be

at San Juan Historical Museum (405 Price

St.) to talk about and sign his man-uscript Saturday, April 20, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

In cataloging the various names and places of the inland waters, Blumenthal relies heavily on the

observations of the region’s earliest explorers to offer readers an impression of what Puget Sound looked like some 150-200 years ago.

The text includes every named island, bay, point, inlet, pass, harbor, channel, strait, shoal… well, you get the picture… identified on the nautical charts of today.

In addition, Blumenthal identifies the individual that named each place, often not-ing the hardships that those early explorers encountered along the way, as well as the when, why and for whom of each.

It also documents the chart on which those names first appeared and the his-tory of settlement of each.

Suggested donation is $5; admission for museum members is free. For more info, 378-3949, [email protected].

While the past may be the past, history is forever chang-ing. And what arguably stands as the most pivotal point in the history of the San Juan Islands — The Pig War — is no exception.

Local author Mike Vouri will be on hand at Griffin Bay Bookstore Saturday, April 20, to present and talk about the new discoveries that prompted a revision and expansion of his definitive historical account of that famous 12-year-long joint-occupation of San Juan Island, in which Great Britain and the U.S. nearly went to war over the Northwest bound-ary when an American farmer shot a British pig.

The recently released second edition of “The Pig War: Standoff at Griffin Bay”, includes additional photographs, maps, drawings and 100 more pages of text that offer fresh insights into that international boundary dispute that

confounded diplomats of three nations, but ended up being resolved without the firing of a single shot — minus the one that killed the pig.

The presentation begins at 7 p.m. “I’m frequently asked, ‘Why more

work on a book already in print?’” Vouri says. “The answer is simple: 14 years have passed since the first iteration and when you work with a topic everyday as I have, as

park historian, there has been no end to ‘Ah Hah’ moments either in the park or visiting the archives of three nations.”

Such “Ah Hah” moments include: an encounter between

the skipper of the U.S. Coast Surveyor Steamer Active, James Alden, and the gov-ernor of Great Britain's Vancouver Island, James Douglas, a struggle over a revolver at the height of the crisis between George Pickett and a rebellious sub-ordinate, as well as a wealth of information about the joint occupation that did not appear in the first edi-tion, originally published by Griffin Bay Bookstore and now distributed by the

University of Washington Press. Still, Vouri notes that even as the second edition was going to press a whole new body of information arose, which could not be included.

“And that’s the beauty of history,” he says. “It is a dynamic, ever-changing process.

In his career with the National Park Service, Vouri has been historian-ranger at San Juan Island National Historical Park for the past 18 years. In addition to The Pig War: Standoff at Griffin Bay, he is the author of four other books, two also focused on the Pig War and two other, one co-authored with his wife, Julia, that feature historical images and insight into the past of San Juan Island, both published by Arcadia Publishing.

Vouri is also regionally renowned for the starring role of his one-act play, “The Life and Times of General George E. Pickett”, and has been featured on the History channel and in the pages of the The Smithsonian.

What’s Happening!

See CALeNDAr, Page 12

By Scott rasmussenJournal editor

The good news is that you probably won’t have to lather on the sunscreen, or worry too much about breaking out in a sweat.

The weather forecast calls for a high of 54 degrees and a slight chance of a shower or two.

But the not so good news is there’s somewhere in the neighborhood of another 2,000 pounds of trash, quite likely more, strewn along the roadways, sitting in the ditches and scattered across San Juan Island’s picturesque beaches. That’s the amount of trash gathered up and dis-posed of a year ago during the second annual island-wide community cleanups, aka the “Great Island Cleanup”.

On Saturday, April 20 — that’s two days before Earth Day — the Great Island Cleanup crew, which includes any able-bodied person who’s will-ing to lend a hand, will be at it again. While the event officially runs from 9 a.m. to noon, you can get started and pitch in as part of the 3rd Annual Great Island Cleanup at pretty much anytime you’d like. And the GIC steering committee once again encourages you to take part in the island-wide spring cleaning ensemble by picking up whatever litter might by lying around near your home or place of business.

But if you’d like to get more deeply involved in this year’s cleanup extravaganza there’s still plenty of time and ample opportunity to do so. You can hook up with one of the many neighborhood groups or civic organizations that already are scheduled to help, most with a particular location in mind, by contacting David Dehlendorf, co-founder of San Juan Island’s Anti-Litter Initiative, 378-1082, or at [email protected].

“Picking up litter in small groups is much more fun and also a great deal safer,” Lori Stokes of the GIC steering committee says. “So gather some friends, co-workers, or family members and make a party out of it.” (A cautionary note to motorists: stay alert and vigilant for the safety of those picking up trash along the island’s narrow and winding roads; lack of adequate shoulders and good sight lines can be a danger).

As in the past, a multitude of local organizations have joined forces to help sponsor the event. The list includes: San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce, S o r o p t i m i s t s International of Friday Harbor, the Lions and Rotarians, Friends of the San Juans, San Juan County and the Town of Friday Harbor, and the county’s local fran-

chise waste hauler, San Juan Sanitation.

The collaborative effort to spruce up the island appears to making a difference. The 2,000 pounds of trash col-lected last year, with about 250 people pitching in, is less than half the 5,000 pounds collected during the first GIC, by about 200 volunteers.

The Chamber of Commerce will have free pickup bags available at its Spring Street head-quarters this week, and some trash grabbers and safety vests as well. Both Browne’s Home Center and ACE Hardware also plan to offer pick-up supplies at discount prices.

San Juan Sanitation will collect garbage bags dropped off by 2 p.m. on the day of the GIC at any of these locations (see side-bar). Trash can also be disposed of for free at the solid waste transfer station on Sutton Road dur-ing regular business hours by identifying oneself as a GIC “litter-picker-upper”.

Reggae legend to unveil ‘Heart & Soul’ in acoustic, solo show

Contributed photoLegendary reggae musician Clinton Fearon will be at the Grange Hall, Friday, for a first-ever performance in Friday Harbor.

Contributed photo / SJCT

The “Winds of Yarrow” in concert, Friday, at SJC Theatre.

Perhaps no other performer in the world of reggae music carries the kind of name familiarity quite like the late Bob Marley does.

But to the tried-and-true reggae fan, Clinton Fearon comes very close.

Following an 18-year-career as a mainstay of The Gladiators, long-known as one of the more heavy hitting bands of the reggae-roots movement that flourished in Kingston, Jamaica in the ‘70s and ‘80s, Fearon moved to Seattle in the early ‘90s and set out on his own.

He will be at the Grange Hall in Friday Harbor for a first-ever performance in the San Juan Islands, a solo acoustic concert, Friday, April 19.

Billed as an “all-ages” show, doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets can purchased at Rocky Bay Cafe prior to the show; adults, $10, student (14-18) $5, with proper identification, or for $15, for adults, at the door.

Though perhaps not as widely known as a Marley or a Jimmy Cliff, Fearon can easily be considered as prolific, if not more so. With Fearon featured either as lead singer, on bass, or on backup vocals, The Gladiators released more

than 25 albums over the course of the band’s heralded 18-year run.

As a solo artist, the 62-year-old singer-songwriter, front-man for his own band, the Boogie Brown Band, has released 10 recordings, including 2012’s “Heart and Soul”. A solo acoustic project, much like 2005’s “Me An’ My Guitar”, the scaled-down quality of Heart and Soul, just the musi-cian and his instrument, allows Fearon to showcase his acclaimed songwriting and singing prowess, as well as a leg-endary talent for busting out stirring, captivating rhythms on an acoustic guitar.

Find out more about Fearon, his career, and music at www.clintonfearon.com. For concert tickets, 378-5051.

Contributed art / Steven HillThe rugged beauty of Lopez Island’s Iceberg Point is captured in the ‘plein air’ painting above by Steven Hill.

Two touring youth choirs from Saint Mark’s Cathedral in Seattle will be the featured performers at the Choral Evensong service — evening prayer or vespers set to song — at Saint David’s Episcopal Church, Saturday, April 20, beginning at 5:30 p.m.

The choirs will also join in the St. David’s morning wor-ship service, at 9:30 a.m., on Sunday.

Saint Mark’s Choir School is a member of the Royal School of Church Music in America. The school empha-sizes well-rounded musicianship as part of its program, as well as lifelong growth in music and faith, vocal and ear training, as well as theoretical knowledge, and ministry through liturgical leadership and community service for grades K-12.

The Boys and Girls Choir, directed by Rebekah Gilmore, includes children in grades 3-7. The Youth Ensemble, directed by Brian Fairbanks, features children in grades 8-12, and younger men whose voices have matured.

Both choirs sing music from a variety of traditions, from Taizé chant to gospel, to world and traditional music. The choirs sing Choral Evensong regularly at Saint Mark’s Cathedral.

Saint David’s Church is located at the intersection of Marguerite Place and Park Street, in Friday Harbor. For information, 378-5360.

The 100-plus members of Plein Air Washington, the state’s largest organized group of plein air artists, will be hosting events and offer demonstration of works in progress in more than 100 state parks to help raise awareness about the fragile beauty of Washington’s parks, as the group joins in this year’s observance of state Parks 100th birthday.

The San Juan Islands are home to an assortment of state parks, large and small, including Moran (Orcas), Spencer Spit (Lopez) and Lime Kiln (San Juan), as well as numerous marine state parks, such as Sucia and Stuart islands.

Dance troupe turns ‘Ballroom’ in tribute to silver screen

Where does one find scintillating choreography performed by some of the top ballroom dancers in the world? San Juan Community Theatre, that’s where.

Enchanting story lines, breath-taking lifts and a variety of ballroom dances will grab the spotlight when the Utah Ballroom Dance Company hits the stage Saturday, April 20, begin-ning at 7:30 p.m.

The Utah-based ball-room dance company car-ries the distinction as the U.S. National Formation Champion in both Latin American and Standard/Ballroom dancing. In its production “Cinemagic”, the company showcases well-known dances and sounds of the silver screen, likes Gene Kelly’s signature performance of “Singin’ in the Rain”.

The Theatre’s business partners for the “Cinemagic” are San Juan Interiors, Waterworks Gallery and Mirabella Skin Care. Tickets: $20 adults, $10 stu-dent reserved, $5 RUSH at the door. Info, 378-3210, or www.sjctheatre.org.

The ABC’s of living plastic free in the spotlight

Five years ago accountant Beth Terry decided to see if she could live without acquiring any new products made of plastic. Since then, she reduced the amount of plastic that ends up as waste in her world to a mere 2 percent of the national average.

How did she do it? Find out April 26, when

Terry shares her personal

story and practical steps to reducing the use of plastics at a free lecture and book signing at the Grange Hall in Friday Harbor, 7 p.m.

Though useful, Terry says plastics have come to dom-inate our world, and that most plastic products are designed to be used once and then thrown away, end-ing up in landfills, degrad-ing landscapes, and clog-

ging our lakes, rivers and oceans.”

Terry’s “Living Plastic Free” will also be present-ed on Orcas, April 27, and Lopez, April 28. Info, 378-2319, or MyPlasticFreeLife.com

before she decides. These are qualities needed on our County Council as it deals with controversy and change.

Having a council of three instead of six means that each council person will influence the tenor of coun-cil meetings more than has been the case in recent years. It is important therefore to have council members who display a respectful and open-minded approach to other council persons, the public, and county staff.

Lisa Byers is such a per-son. I urge voters to place her on our new three-per-son council.

RichaRd WaRdLopez Island

Consensus builder; Byers in Dist. 2

I supported Greg Ayers in the County Council pri-mary election; I’m now sup-porting Lisa Byers unequiv-ocally and enthusiastically, and here’s why.

She knows how to engage in productive public dis-course. Many issues that confront our elected offi-

cials are thorny, multi-fac-eted and fraught with con-troversy. Lisa knows how to listen, how to tease out the range of viewpoints and information, how to disagree without being dis-agreeable, and how to see a path forward. We need this kind of consensus builder as our elected official.

She’s a problem solver who gets it, and gets it done. She’s most well known for her work with OPAL, a non-profit organization that has successfully created mecha-nisms for affordable hous-ing to enable regular citizens who contribute so much to our community to live and raise their families here. And building those houses cre-ated jobs. We need this kind of creative problem solver as our elected official.

She’s a creative thinker. As we’ve seen during many public events during this election season, Lisa does not shy away from challeng-ing questions. She engages in discussions with a ratio-nal, quick, and nimble mind that reveals her capacity to develop innovative solu-tions to vexing issues. We need this kind of thinker as our elected official.

She’s not afraid of a challenge. When con-fronted with attacks, she has responded respectfully and thoughtfully. We need someone with this kind of grace and professionalism as our elected official.

donna RioRdanOrcas Island

My hat’s off to all,my ballot to Bob

First of all, let me start this letter off by saying that my hat is off to anyone who runs for public office. To all candi-dates, you have our thanks for being willing to run. I know I wouldn’t/couldn’t run for public office knowing that at any given moment probably half the island population is not happy with the decisions being made.

That being said, we have a very important election coming up. For the most part, I stay out of politics. But with the upcoming non-partisan election of County Council positions, I felt compelled to write a letter of endorsement.

I’ll be the first to admit that I know very little of the candidates that live on Orcas and Lopez islands. I have had to rely on friends on each island to give me their impressions. But here on San Juan, I know both candidates, and while both are earnest in running for public office, I am voting for Bob Jarman. Why?

I’ve known Bob for many years. When I was build-ing my house, Bob was still working at the phone com-pany. I got to know Bob as we worked to get utilities to my home. Bob regularly checked in during the process, and that impressed me.

After he left and went to start his own small busi-ness, I called on Bob from time to time to help me with some Internet issues. Again, Bob was there to answer my questions, even though he wasn’t getting paid to do it.

Last November, we voted for Bob and he won. When the primary happened earli-er this winter, once again we voted for Bob. And now we are voting for him a third time. I like the fact that Bob is a local businessman. I like the fact that he was the only candidate to attend a recent killer whale symposium sponsored by NOAA. I like the fact that Bob has always been approachable and con-siderate in all my dealings with him.

I’ve always said the only wrong vote anyone can make is not voting at all. So please get out and vote for Bob.

John BoydFriday Harbo

Knows the issues;Pratt in District 1

I am voting for Lovel Pratt. Here’s why:

She is curious, listens and takes action. Her experi-ence on the County Council and planning commission has given her a solid under-standing of key issues fac-ing our community. She has actively championed local farmers and the pro-tection of our islands from the potential impacts of oil spills.

Lovel has a strong com-mitment to creating a sound and responsible budget for our county. In the midst of difficult times, she is not afraid to ask the difficult questions. Above all, she understands the diverse issues, opinions and life-styles in our communities…and respects that diversity.

nancy GReeneLopez Island

Our ‘rights’ at risk in council election

The CAO is such an important topic of focus concerning this April’s County Council election. It is more about how the new council members will view “citizens’ rights” than with the environment.

The leaders our county needs to thrive will have

broad backgrounds in business, local economics, environmental and con-servation as well as private property issues, broad base of job creation experience, management experience in private enterprise and vol-unteer organizations large and small, community ser-vice on several levels and understanding the current and future needs of our county.

A council member whose career focus has been on environmental and conser-vation issues, low income housing and nonprofit organizations, the “New Economics” of justice and equality in property and income for everyone will have a disastrous impact on every aspect of the county. It is difficult for anyone to take away any of our con-stitutional rights, includ-ing private property rights. Therefore, the only way to remove those rights is to pass legislation that makes it virtually impossible to exer-cise them.

Through a very complex CAO plan and regulatory system (a solution looking for a non-existent prob-lem) the county can make it extremely difficult and expensive to own private property. Under these types of regulations you must prove in advance you have the right to cut a tree down or plant a garden. Whether or not your action was in a problem to the environment, you can be fined heavily and be forced to pay for restora-tion of your own land.

Don’t believe it? Recently it has proven to be impos-sible to remove our second amendment rights as stated in the Constitution of the United States. Therefore, senators and representatives like Feinstein, Schumer, Maloney and others are pro-posing to make it so expen-sive to own a gun through mandatory insurance, fees and fines that most citizens will be unable to exercise their constitutional right.

They can’t take away your rights, but they can suppress them.

Support candidates who represent everyone’s rights and best interests in envi-ronmental and community issues, the economy, jobs and health.

Vote: Rick Hughes – Bob Jarman – Brian McClerren

Qualities to lead;Byers in District 2

more than 20 years now. Some of you know me from when I worked in the Orcas Senior Center as “That Licensing Lady” (2005-2008).

My experience working there as a representative of the San Juan County audi-tor and treasurer gave me some insight into the chal-lenges facing our county government and the public it serves.

We live in a special place. Part of that “specialness”, for me, has been the civility of the public discourse. I hope that continues.

Frankly, regarding this election, I see more com-monalities with some of the candidates, rather than differences. I really like Rick Hughes as a person, and I am a customer of his business. He is a good guy.

However, what intrigues me about Lisa Byers as a candidate are two things: her work experience and her personal character. I believe that Lisa’s time spent governing or man-aging a successful non-profit agency (which interfaces on a regular basis with our federal, state and county govern-ment agencies) has given her a unique skill-set that will translate exceedingly well to San Juan County governance.

Now, couple that with an articulate personality, sharp mind, straightforward demeanor, and fair mind-edness. What you get is a leader. That is Lisa Byers, a leader.

Cathy Ferran Orcas Island

A ‘great’ decision;Jarman in Dist. 1

In the upcoming elec-tion, voters countywide will be casting their ballots for County Council members.

I realize that people who live on Orcas and Lopez might not be very familiar with Bob Jarman from San Juan Island. I worked with Bob for almost 30 years, first in a small company then in a very large one. I also watched Bob in a supervi-sory position.

Bob is a hardworking, honest, straightforward individual who is willing to share his opinion but also willing to listen to yours. Bob is a great choice for County Council.

Barry MadanSan Juan Island

He’ll work for all;Stephens in Dist. 3

I have known Jamie Stephens for nearly 20 years now and I continue to appreciate, among other things, his significant and consistent dedication to the community over that period of time.

In addition to serv-ing as the chairman of the County Council, Jamie has served on and worked with innumerable local boards. Many of his efforts have been apparent, such as for the Lopez Community Land Trust, Lopez Family Resource Center, Fisherman Bay Water District, and Port Commission.

He supports local farm-ers and worked with legis-lators and citizens to help secure the recent National Monument status and local control of solid waste and recycling. But there is plenty that has gone unnoticed and unheralded.

As a council member, Jamie works with our neigh-bors in the Gulf Islands. He was instrumental in estab-lishing (and working on) the skate park. He taught small business classes for many years, enabling a number of local entrepre-neurs to make their dreams a reality.

He has been a substitute teacher at the Lopez School for many years. As an active Lions Club member, he has repeatedly organized the 4th of July parade and has made cocoa, cookies, and set up, to welcome the Santa Ship at Odlin Park (This is by no means an exhaustive summary).

It is clear to me that he is personally invested in our island community on many levels. It’s an impressive broad base of involvement. I am confident that Jamie will continue to focus on our community and our needs. He is a good listener and takes into account every-one’s viewpoint.

As his campaign slogan goes: “He works for you.” Please join me in voting for Jamie.

Paul henriksenLopez Island

County council could use a great mom, like ours

As Lisa’s daughters, we think you should vote for Lisa for County Council.

In our totally biased but very well-informed opinion, we think Lisa would make a great council member because she is a great mom, and we think that great moms make great council members.

Lisa respects us and takes us seriously even when she disagrees with us. Lisa can explain really complicated things so that they make sense to us. Lisa listens to us and makes sure she has

all the information and hears everyone’s perspec-tive before making big decisions.

Lisa told us once that her ministry, her calling in life, is to work towards a world where everyone has a home — a sustainable, afford-able home that you can love and take responsibility for. That is what Lisa has worked towards for 17 years as OPAL’s executive direc-tor. Now she is expanding her efforts from the houses that are our homes, to the island community that is our home.

Lisa wants to make San Juan County a sustainable, affordable community for all families, now and for generations to come. She loves our island community and wants to preserve it for her children and yours. She sure has our vote.

Sophomore Gabe Lawson swatted a pair of extra-base hits and drove in three runs to lead the Wolverines to a 11-1 victory on the road, Saturday, April 13, over Cedar Park Christian of Mount Lake Terrace.

Still, it was Lawson’s two innings of relief on the mound — from shaky to solid — that proved equally impressive, as the second-year player helped the Friday Harbor pitching staff post a no-hitter on the Lions (5-5) home field.

Brandon Lambright tossed three innings of no-hit ball before giving way to Lawson, who, despite allowing a run after giving up a pair walks and hitting a batter, didn’t allow a base hit in two innings of relief.

“He had a rough start in the fourth,” Coach Rich Warin said. “But he settled down and came back to have throw a good second inning.”

Junior Otis Cooper-West kept the Lions hitless in the sixth inning to seal a 10-run win in six innings of play.

With the win, the Wolverines improved to 9-3 overall and remained undefeated in Northwest 1A/2B League play. They fell for the second time this season to a regional 1A rival, however, in a 5-2 loss on the road Thursday, April 11, against Lynden Christian. The Wolverines failed to produce a base-hit with runners in scoring position, Warin said.

“Their guy threw a very good game, but we just didn’t get the clutch hit when we needed it,” he said.

The win over the Lions follows in the wake of an even more impressive outing on the mound by a Friday Harbor pitcher. On April 9, senior Gavin Guard, the team’s starting

catcher, tossed a perfect game, as the Wolverines routed Darrington at Hartman Field in a 15-0 victory in just five innings.

Guard, in a rare appearance on the mound, held the win-less Loggers scoreless, without allowing a single base-hit or giving up a walk over five innings on the mound.

Next The Wolverines host Orcas Friday, April 19; game time

is 3 p.m. at Hartman Field. They face Division 1A Mount Baker, Saturday, on the road, at 1 p.m.
