As surely as the tide flows in and out of Friday Harbor, opposition is gathering to recommendations endorsed by the Charter Revision Commission.

On July 10, an unenthusiastic San Juan County Council “received” – but would not “accept” – the report of the Charter Revision Commission, which proposes to scrap the six-member council and return control of the county to a three-member council, which would be responsible for executive functions by utilizing a “county manager” in place of the present county administrator.

The changes recommended by the CRC were denounced by for-mer freeholder Charlie Bodenstab, who criticized both the process by which the commission con-ducted its review and its conclu-sions. Bodenstab suggested that two CRC members, both former freeholders, “had an agenda” to essentially repeal elements of the charter with which they disagreed and that the commission “blew the opportunity to fine-tune the

It is not a matter of whether there will or won’t be. It’s more of a matter of how deeply San Juan County officials will be forced to cut in the year ahead.

Faced with an anticipated rev-enue shortfall of $3.6 million over the next three years, County Councilman Rich Peterson last week acknowledged that some degree of workforce cuts will need to be made even if voters approve the public safety sales tax measure that will be on the Aug. 7 primary election ballot.

It simply gets worse should the measure fail, he said.

“If the public safety sales tax doesn’t pass, nothing is safe,” Peterson said. “If it does pass,

Friday the 13th was a bad day for one tree on Lopez, and Lopez Fire Chief Jim Ghiglione didn’t get much sleep that night.

But camera buffs and sky watchers were treated to a rare light show from back-to-back nights of thunder and lightning over the San Juans.

The exploded tree and a small fire on Turtleback Mountain on Orcas were the only major problems caused by two electrical storms that filled the skies with an untold number of lightning bolts that struck before dawn Friday to early Saturday morning. Some 10,500 households and businesses were without power across the county, although many turned to backup generators, public safety and community service facilities in particular, to

keep the power on.Checking Lopez generators, especially those at

the medical clinic and pharmacy, where vaccines and other medicines are stored, kept Ghiglione up until power was restored. “That’s just part of my job,” said Ghiglione — although he said he would have preferred not having to respond to an aid call at 5 a.m. the same morning.

The “big one” occurred at 8:46 p.m. Friday at Puget Sound Energy’s Burrows Bay substation on Fidalgo Island, reportedly from a lightning strike near the substation, which transmits all the power for the San Juans.

According to Orcas Power and Light Cooperative, power was restored at 2:50 a.m. Saturday, just about the time the lightning stopped.

Two other outages occurred Friday evening and again Saturday morning in the Cape San Juan area, both apparently the result of one lightning strike on a home in the area.

A memorable weekend, perhaps, but presum-ably no ruined vacations.

An Orcas Island man accused of a violent attack on a live-in girlfriend is slated to stand trial in late September on seven crimi-nal charges, including two

counts of second-degree rape, a Class A felony.

On July 6, Frederick Elden Hardtke, 52, plead-ed not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to two counts of second-degree rape by force, two

counts of second-degree assault with a deadly weap-on, two counts of fourth-degree assault, a gross mis-demeanor, and one count of third-degree malicious mischief. Bail was set at $15,000, pending a Sept. 24 trial date.

According to court docu-ments, prosecutors claim that Hardkte brutalized and threatened the woman with various firearms over a two-day period after an early afternoon dispute at their Eastsound home esca-lated into an altercation. Authorities allege that the threats and attacks began after Hardtke, who report-edly was intoxicated at the time, snatched a cell-phone out of the woman’s hand, smashed it on the floor, and then grabbed and fiercely twisted one of her arms, while at the same time threatening her with a handgun.

Authorities claim that he continued to threaten the woman with firearms throughout the night and

the following day, and sexu-ally assaulted her twice within that time frame as well.

On the second day of the alleged attack, after Hardtke was lured away from the home by the woman’s adult daugh-ter, she notified authori-ties of the assault and was escorted from the home and to the Sheriff depart-ment’s Eastsound office, where she gave a deputy a detailed account of the alleged attack. Hardtke was taken into custody July 27, shortly before noon, fol-lowing a brief struggle with three deputies, in which he was subdued by a taser, outside his home, accord-ing to court records.

A Class A felony, sec-ond-degree rape by force carries maximum penalties of life in prison, a $50,000 fine, or both. Assault in the second degree, a Class B felony, carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both.

Rape charges leveled against Orcas man in aftermath of alleged assault we’ve still got problems.”

Billed on the primary bal-lot as Prop. 1, the public safety sales tax measure, if approved, would increase the local sales tax amount by 3/10 of one percent, from its current level of 7.8 percent, among the lowest in the state, to 8.1 percent. Excluded from the increase would be most groceries, professional services and prescription drugs.

The increase is anticipated to generate roughly $1 mil-lion a year in new revenue, 40 percent of which would be distributed, by law, to the Town of Friday Harbor. Also under state law, proceeds from the sales tax increase are intended exclusively for government services that fall into the category of pub-lic safety, such law enforce-ment, health or road safety projects.

Sheriff Rob Nou said that his department is already stretched thin in providing 24-hour cover-age, seven days a week, on multiple islands. He noted the department has no city police force or neighboring agency to rely on as backup.

He said the department may pass the tipping point in its ability to enforce and pro-tect it jettisons more jobs.

“At some point we will lose that sense of safety and security, and once lost, I don’t think you can ever spend your way out of that,” he said.

According to county interim Administrator Bob Jean, expenses are expect-ed to outstrip revenue by roughly $800,000 if the county maintains the same level of service and employ-ees in 2013. The shortfall would rise to $3.6 million over the next three years, Jean said.

“If the public safety sales tax is approved, we can pro-tect the sheriff ’s department and the criminal section of the prosecutor’s office from cuts,” he said. “Otherwise, after going through five years of budget cutting, there aren’t enough other places left where we can cut.”

According to Jean, 14 jobs would need to be eliminated if Prop. 1 fails, and seven would still need to be cut even if it passes.

Roughly 43 percent of the county general fund pays for law and justice programs. Of the 2013 total, $16.8 mil-lion, only $7.8 million come from local funding sources, such as sales tax.

About 50 percent of gen-eral fund revenue is legally either earmarked for a spe-cific use, generated by fees, or are retracted by grants or by matching funds, and can-not used to offset a shortfall in local revenue.

Councilman Richard Fralick, a member of the council budget subcommit-tee, said the county needs to make structural changes in the way it delivers services. Fralick said the county can-not overcome the combina-tion of inflation and shrink-ing revenue by trimming a job or two here.

“You do reach a point when you have to say this is not a short term trend,” he said. “You have to get to a point where projected rev-enue and expenses match, and the only way to do that is to make structural changes.”

BUDGET: Continued from page 1

Road projects occupied parts of the afternoon and evening agendas of the July 5 Friday Harbor Town Council meeting.

Funding for the projects remains a work in progress, however.

The council tentatively approved a $20,000 request from the Port of Friday Harbor to share the cost of

a curb-and-sidewalk project on the west side of Mullis Street, between the Port’s planned pilot’s visitor cen-ter and the present sidewalk some 300 feet up the street.

Before formal approval, the coun-cil asked for an estimate of town engineering costs for the project, which the Port plans to fund from the Public Facilities Financing Assistance Program, now nearing

approval by the County Council.At the early evening session, the

council reviewed a six-year local transportation improvement pro-gram prepared annually for the Washington state Transportation Improvement Board.

The first project on the wish list is repaving Tucker Avenue from Guard Street to University Way, including new curbs and sidewalks. Planning would be completed in 2014, with construction scheduled for 2015.

The $1,450,000 project is one of eleven road projects which might be funded during the next six

years. Other projects

include work on Grover Street, two projects on First Street and redo-ing the Spring Street-Argyle Avenue intersection, but the town council has also asked for other possible projects that should be considered.

What cannot be identified, as of yet, is the money to pay for any of the projects, although newly appointed town administrator Duncan Wilson thinks “the money can be found” from a combination of state and local sources.

If you’ve been longing to run the solid waste transfer station on San Juan Island, here’s your chance.

Beginning today, July 18, San Juan County will accept proposals to lease the trans-fer station on Sutton Road. The property that will be put up for lease to a quali-fied vendor — expected to provide some solid waste disposal services — includes both the town-owned site which is now used for self-haul and an adjacent, unde-veloped property owned by the county.

The County Council approved a “request for proposals” July 10 that outlines qualifications and experience applicants must have. The RFP also lists the variety of services, pro-posed improvements, costs to the public, number of local jobs created, as well as outlining the financial capacity those seeking to

lease the transfer station should have.

Based on interest in the RFP for the Orcas Island transfer station, Public Works Director Frank Mulcahy is optimistic that the San Juan Island site will draw a number of proposals from qualified applicants as well.

“We have been pleased with the response so far to the RFP we issued for the Orcas solid waste facility, so we are optimistic about finding a qualified lessor to provide services on San Juan Island,” Mulcahy said in a press release.

Any vendor leasing the San Juan site would have the option to keep self-haul operating as it is now for up to a year after a con-tract is signed. State health regulations require that solid waste is disposed of at appropriate and legal facili-ties. The vendor would be responsible for that trans-port and disposal.

The lessee would have that first year of the contract to repair and improve the site

for providing their services, and to obtain permits to continue to operate the site. Improvements to structures and paving are required to comply with health regula-tions and traffic concerns, and permits are required to safeguard public health.

The request for proposals will be released on July 18. After that, interested parties will have 72 days to pro-vide their proposal to the county.

Interested parties must attend a pre-proposal meet-ing and site visit. Selection criteria are written into the RFP so that anyone making a proposal will be able to see them.

charter,” as he and other freeholders had originally intended.

In 2005, voters approved a home rule charter, crafted by the board of freeholders, which changed both the structure and the manner in which county government

operates. At that time, voters endorsed both the “basic charter,” which separated the legislative and executive branches of county government, installed a process for initiative and referendum, turned elected offices into non-partisan posts and created the position of county administrator. Voters also approved an amendment to the basic charter, though by a smaller margin, that turned the former three-member county commission into a six-member council, each elected from districts of roughly equal population – three on San Juan Island, two on Orcas and one from Lopez/Shaw.

The charter also calls for its own periodic review and for election of a Charter Review Commission to conduct that review. The commission may propose changes to the char-ter, which must be approved by voters to take effect.

The CRC, which began its review in January, concluded its work by issuing eight “Findings” and proposing three charter amendments. Those amendments were presented July 10 to the council and then delivered to Auditor Milene Henley for inclusion on the November general election ballot.

Although the presentation of the amendments was not a public hearing, “citizen access time” on the agenda provided immediate opportunity for opponents of the charter amend-ments to speak. Commission member Janice Peterson and former Freeholder Charlie Bodenstab spoke.

Janice Peterson, a member of the CRC, joined Bodenstab in criticizing the commission’s findings and recommenda-tions. Peterson, who presented the council with a CRC minority report, objected to both the process and substance of the panel’s recommendations, saying that many members of the group had decided from the beginning the results that would be reached and did not attempt to accommodate opposing viewpoints in their deliberations.

Bodenstab also criticized the commission for not inviting any former freeholders to offer their perspectives.

Prosecutor Attorney Randy Gaylord offered a resolu-tion for the council to consider, but, after some discussion, Chairwoman Patty Miller amended the suggested resolu-tion to substitute the word “received” for the word “accept,” saying that she was concerned that “accept” might be understood as “approve,” which the council was not doing.

Interviewed after the meeting, council members Howie Rosenfeld, Jamie Stephens and Lovel Pratt all expressed some version of “let the voters decide,” but none expressed

OPPOSITION: Continued from page 1 New ferries: on-time and under-budget

DOT garners national recognitionThe Washington State Department of Transportation

won national recognition for building three ferries - the Chetzemoka, Salish and Kennewick - in 42 months and nearly $7 million under budget. Two of the 64-car, 750-passenger ferries are now in service between Port Townsend and Coupeville, the routes they were designed for.

The award is the regional stage of the America’s Transportation Awards and makes DOT eligible for one of two national awards, which each carry a $10,000 prize. The competition is sponsored by the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials. Washington state has won five prior awards..

To save time and money, the state Department of Transportation used an existing vessel design and divided construction work among four Washington shipyards.

DOT recently entered into a contract with Vigor Industrial for four 144-car ferries. One is now under construction and one will begin construction late this year.

support or opposition “at this time,” as both Rosenfeld and Pratt put it.

Meanwhile, Councilman Rich Peterson said, “I ran for office because I believed in the charter that the voters approved, and I’m opposed to these amendments.” Peterson said, “I’ll speak out” in opposition.

Friday Harbor attorney Stephanie Johnson O’Day, a for-mer freeholder, said she would “work hard” to defeat the CRC’s recommendations. In April, O’Day submitted a letter to the County Council reaffirming her support for the char-ter and noting that, “Unfortunately, the charter had never been implemented correctly… there is no need to change the bones of the charter.”

On the heels of the July 10 meeting, O’Day said that a group of charter supporters would meet soon to devise a plan to oppose the commission’s amendments. Bodenstab and Janice Peterson both said that they plan to attend.

“We need to go forward, not backward,” O’Day said.

RCW 82.14.450 authorizes counties to propose an increase in the local sales tax of 3/10 of one percent for Public Safety purposes. The San Juan County Council unanimously proposed this sales tax measure to the voters prior to adopting the 2013 Budget.

After 4 years of cuts to County services and staff, without voter approval of the Public Safety Sales Tax, additional cuts will be required to Public Safety and other essential County services including: Sheriff, Prosecuting Attorney, Courts, Emergency Management, Public Health, Roads and others.

If authorized by voters, per State law, the funds would be split 60% for preservation of County Public Safety services and 40% to the Town of Friday Harbor for Town Public Safety services.

Groceries, medicine, prescription drugs, automobile purchases are exempt.

The Public Safety Sales Tax would add 30 cents to the purchase of $100 worth of taxable* goods.

Letters to the Editor

And the band played on

There are musicians and then there are musi-cians, and this past Friday the 13th we experienced the difference.

As we all remember we had one heck of a light-ning storm and it put us all in the dark. Some of us had the pleasure of listen-ing to Roy Rogers and his Delta Rhythm Kings, when God decided to turn down the volume and let the real musicians come out.

The first set was not even over when we lost power at our community theater and the emergency lights came on. Our hearts skipped a beat, because we all like Roy Rogers and hated the thought of having to go home in the middle of the set.

Well, my hat’s off to Roy Rogers and his band and a resounding “thank you” for staying.

They were not about to let some stinking power outage interrupt their mis-sion to entertain us and they showed us what truly tal-ented musicians they are, by playing only acoustically.

Wow — it was awesome, because it felt like it was a jam session.

Roy engaged the audience with anecdotal stories and it felt almost cozy and we were in for a treat by the master. Bet he played music he has not done in a while, because it was his talent and his tal-ent alone, with his pal’s help, to make this a successful evening.

We sure got our mon-

ey’s worth. Thank you Roy Rogers and the Delta Rhythm Kings — a forever fan,

Bianca VanderwalSan Juan Island

‘Yes’ on Prop. 1 I will be voting in sup-

port of the public safety tax and I strongly urge you to join me.

Since 2008, when we began responding to the decrease in tax revenue by shrinking the size and cost of county government, we have been able to largely preserve those services that deliver public safety, sometimes at the expense of other important govern-ment services.

Given the projections that form the basis for our annual budgeting, this will no longer be possible with-out an increase in revenue.

This is because the prob-lem for 2013 is projected to be an $800,000 deficit if the sales tax fails and approxi-mately $200,000 if it passes.

Obviously, a problem remains even with the pas-sage of the sales tax but it gets closer to becoming tol-erable and the public safety functions of the government could continue to be pre-served. I cannot conceive of a way to bridge an $800,000 gap without cutting deputies and other vital positions.

The modest increase for each of us (.03 percent), will mean an additional 30 cents on a $100 taxable purchase and will still leave our total sales tax rate lower than what is paid in the neighboring communities of Anacortes, Burlington, Mount Vernon, and Bellingham.

The added revenue to the county would be in the range of $650,000 the first

year. A large percentage of the total tax will be paid by non-residents who also rep-resent much of the need for our public safety services.

The Sheriff ’s department and offices of the prosecut-ing attorney, superior and municipal courts, county juvenile justice system, vic-tims’ services, and others are, in my opinion, cur-rently staffed and funded at a bare minimum for the provision of these basic ser-vices we expect from local government.

These elements of the public safety system are all inter-dependent, and require a degree of balance in order to have a functional whole. Making cuts in any of these would reduce the effectiveness of all of them.

Our sense of community and well-being relies on our feeling of safety and secu-rity. We can’t afford to give it up. The tax is a modest cost to retain so much that matters to us.

I hope you will vote to approve the public safety sales tax measure so that we can at least preserve the current levels of valuable service.

rich PetersonSJC Councilman/Dist. 2

More support for Prop. 1

Public safety is the fun-damental core function of government. The safety of our island communities is one of the reasons that we live here, and why the San Juan Islands are such a desirable place to both live and visit.

It is all about the qual-ity of life that we all enjoy here.

Since 2008, county gov-

ernment has been cutting expenses and personnel to keep a balanced budget in this difficult economy. Projections for next year are no different, with another shortfall anticipated.

San Juan County voters have a Public Safety Sales Tax measure to decide on the August ballot. The mea-sure, approved unanimous-ly by the County Council, would authorize an addi-tional 3/10 of 1 percent sales tax to preserve and protect existing public safety pro-grams and services. The tax would add 3 cents to every $10 taxable purchase.

For literally pennies per local purchase, we can pro-tect our local public safety services; sheriff patrols, 9-1-1 dispatch, jail, crimi-nal prosecution and courts. With a sales tax, everybody

pays to support these core services — residents and visitors alike.

Please join me in voting “Yes” for the Public Safety Sales Tax. It is a vital step in protecting the treasure that we all call home.

roB nouSan Juan County Sheriff

Vote ‘Yes’ for public safety

A yes vote for Proposition 1 on the Aug. 7, 2012 ballot is a vote for public safety.

Increased revenue is needed to maintain current levels of public safety and justice services in San Juan County. Despite five years of cuts in county budgets and severe cuts in staffing, county revenues are pro-jected to fall $3.6 million

short over the next three years. Until now, cuts to the sheriff ’s department and to the criminal justice services have been minimized.

But without increased revenue, these essential public services will be cut in ways that affect our quality of life.

The proposed 30 cents increase per $100 in sales would fund current levels of public safety and justice services in our islands. A sales tax increase will raise revenue from both residents and visitors.

Our population approxi-mately doubles during the tourist season. The surge in visitors results in increased pressure on the sheriff ’s department and on the jus-tice department.

Editorial

Bring it onSo far, it appears the tug-of-war over the

future of the county charter is a contest between “bring back the past” and “if it

ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”The Charter Review Commission decided with

little hesitation, and only a modicum of dissent (two out of 21 members) to return to a three-member, full-time, county governing body.

We’re not so sure. But with a handful of former freeholders, the

group that built the planks of the home-rule charter, now standing up to publicly defend their reasoning for separating the legislative and executive branches of county government, and for creating six legislative districts that reflect a more equal distribution of the population, we are encouraged that a thoughtful case for both the past and present will be revealed.

Much of the changes brought by the char-ter will remain intact. Election of most county officials — prosecuting attorney the exception — will remain non-partisan. The CRC made no move to unhinged the process of initiative or referendum, or mini-initiative. And a citizen’s salary commission will still determine salaries of most county elected officials.

Still, the return to three full-time elected offi-cials with the authority to implement laws and to oversee management of day-to-day county operations, if not effectively run the show, would appear to be a monumental turn of events.

That’s not to say that the six-member coun-cil has done a stellar job. We look forward to a healthy debate. Stayed tuned.

Next up: feasibility, FCC frequency

By OPALCO Broadband Work Group

As OPALCO’s Board continues to study the feasibility of the Broadband Initiative, progress is being made. At our last report, there were three major contingen-

cies to address before the Board could consider a vote on the project: revision of the county’s wireless ordinance, comple-tion of feasibility studies and acquisition of a FCC licensed frequency. There have been positive developments on each front and the Board is moving closer to a decision point.

New county wireless ordinanceOn June 26, the County Council passed a revised Wireless

Ordinance defining Joint-Use Wireless Facilities. These are facilities that can provide support for multiple public services on one utility pole, including electrical power management and public safety radio communications. The broadband component of these systems could be used to provide true high-speed internet service county-wide, and could help us achieve better cell phone coverage if the cel-lular providers agree to use these facilities. The adoption of the wireless ordinance was accomplished through a thor-ough public process that included public testimony, legal review and many thoughtful hours of our council member’s time and attention.

Feasibility under reviewOn the feasibility front, initial technical studies are

complete and OPALCO staff members will be field-testing potential equipment and pole locations as we refine the system design. We are working with industry experts to develop potential business models for Board consideration — and the numbers continue to be the most challenging aspect of the project. The Board is committed to finding a solution that makes sense for the co-op model and for the membership.

FCC licensed frequencyMeetings to discuss the acquisition of a FCC licensed

frequency have been positive and we are hopeful that an agreement could be reached in the next few months. Much of the system design (including actual coverage, capacity, number of poles and pole locations) is dependent on the frequency that would be deployed. Once an agreement is reached for a specific frequency range, a final system design can be developed.

In addition, public forums held on four islands in May were well attended and have started a rich public dialogue on the project. The majority of feedback from members is very positive and in support of the Broadband Initiative, and the Board is also considering concerns that have been raised about the potential cost burden to members, their issues with RF emissions and the potential role of the co-op as an internet service provider. All feedback is being care-fully reviewed as the Board moves toward a decision.

For more info and updates, visit www.opalco.com — and stop by OPALCO’s 75th Anniversary booth at the county Fair where staff will be available to discuss the project and answer questions.

As I See It

Critical issues clouded by fog of cliches

By Peg Manning

Howie Rosenfeld’s statement in support of his quest for re-election presents what those

in education call a “teachable moment.” (“Reasonable rules guard islands’ way of life,” July 4, pg. 9)

Not because it lucidly discusses the critical issues confronting the coun-ty to enable an informed electorate; but, rather, because it tosses about the usual deceptive “sound bites” that politicians find so helpful in shutting down discussion of the real issues.

For example, Mr. Rosenfeld suggests that county citizens who question the current CAO fiasco must not understand that our islands are special and should be protected. The notion that only Mr. Rosenfeld and his political brethren respect the land is nonsense, and is belied by our well-stewarded surroundings.

Mr. Rosenfeld's rhetorical concern for the citizenry’s continued commit-

ment is purportedly based upon what he characterizes as “well-organized opposition” to the CAO and SMP. How he considers a handful of unfunded private citizen and civic groups as “well-organized opposition” in this context is troubling: either he has no idea of the nature of this controversy or he is dissembling.

First, I have yet to meet anyone who opposes the CAO and SMP; indeed, most people seem to think that our existing CAO and SMP regulations are working quite well.

Second, the average islander keeps asking—quite logically—what is wrong with our existing CAO and SMP regulations? Because the law doesn’t require wholesale re-writing of our CAO and SMP; it requires us to review our existing rules and fix anything that’s broken.

But our county leaders rather petu-lantly maintain that “they don’t have to tell us” what’s wrong—and that we can’t make them. Yes, it really has gotten that bad. What is the county afraid of?

Third, the people that I meet are gravely concerned about the radi-cally restrictive new CAO and SMP

schemes being jammed through by “our” planners and “our” state govern-ment, not to mention the assorted and sundry non-profits, tribes and quasi-governmental entities funded with our tax dollars who believe that they know best about—well—everything.

At the cost of millions of dollars a year, the self-described “environmen-talists” (planners, big consulting firms, ‘Friends’, Ecology, tribes, the Puget Sound “Partnership,” for some exam-ples) all struggle valiantly to expand the reach of the CAO against what Mr. Rosenfeld sees as the “organized opposition”: a handful of volunteers struggling to expose the backroom machinations that have characterized this process from its inception.

We agree that the county should have “sensible protections.” We believe that it already has.

There is nothing sensible about the complex and burdensome propos-als now pending before the County Council. Read them at http://www.sanjuanco.com/cao/documents.aspx and weep.

— Editor's note: Peg Manning of Orcas Island is member of locally based Common Sense Alliance.

Rosenfeld misses the mark in balance of power in CAO debate

would not be taxed. The sales tax would not apply to auto sales.

This increase in the sales tax is the best way to stabilize funding for our county’s public safety and justice services because visitors will contribute as well as residents. No statements against this increase in sales tax have been made despite attempts to add a “con” view to the Prop. 1 ballot.

Vote “Yes” for public safety and justice. Vote “Yes” for Prop. 1.

What’s Happening!

See CALENDAR, Page 10


The many festivities in store at this year’s annual Encampment at San Juan Island National Historical Park will include a grand and August tribute.

Here’s the scoop. Actually, the word “scoop” fits it to a tee. This year marks the 15th annual Encampment on the parade grounds of English

Camp’s Garrison Bay, and it coincides with the 47th anniversary of the late Henry “Scoop” Jackson’s successful creation of the San Juan Island’s national historical park and with what would have been the longtime Washington state U.S. senator’s 100th birthday.

Established in 1966 and signed into law that year by President Lyndon B. Johnson, the San Juan Island National Historical Park consists of two separate properties, American Camp to the south and English Camp to the north, encompassing 2,064 acres between the two. The park offers recreational opportunities and at the same time stands as a symbol that differences between nations can be peacefully resolved.

Born and raised in Everett, Jackson served for 42 years in Congress, the first 12 as a congressman and another 30 in the Senate. With assistance of the late Washington state Senator Warren Magnuson, who created legislation to preserve the sites of the San Juan Boundary Dispute, or “Pig War”, Jackson was the driving force in the effort to establish a national park dedicated to the “peaceful settlement” of the international boundary dispute that 150 years ago threaten to engulf Great Britain and the United States in yet another war, this time over possession of a group of islands in the far northwest corner of what was then known as the Oregon Territories.

On that occasion, the two nations opted for peace over war and have been allies in international affairs, rather than combatants, ever since.

In fact, it was a gift from Great Britain in 1998 that sparked the modern era of Encampment at the historical park. To celebrate that donation, which paid for replace-ment of an aging 80-foot tall flagpole at English Camp, park historian Mike Vouri suggested a revival of what American and British soldiers of the Pig War-era were known to often do when holidays and significant occasions rolled around during their 12-year joint occupation of the island: throw a party.

Since that inaugural Encampment, the park’s

tribute to its past has drawn a host of Civil War-era re-enactors from across the Northwest, as well as the island’s own. Outfitted in replica mili-tary uniforms or period dress, the re-enactors tell tales of what life was like 150 years ago and offer demonstrations of the daily routine that those stationed on the island took part in during the joint occupation.

A two-day event, Encampment 2012 gets under way at 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, July 28-29. Highlights include Saturday’s ceremony commemorating Henry “Scoop” Jackson’s birth, at 2 p.m., with keynote addresses by local, state and national dignitaries, as well as by a member of Jackson’s family. The festivities will include a ceremonial firing of San Juan Island Battery D Foundation’s mountain howitzer, music from the island’s One More Time band and refresh-ments.

The activities in store at Encampment also include demonstrations of blacksmithing, spin-ning, weaving, sewing, carpentry, firing of black powder muskets (without live ammunition) and

music of the period played on equally vintage instruments. Saturday’s events culminate in the Candlelight Ball, beginning at 8 p.m., in the English Camp barracks, which, as in past years, features dancing, refreshments and musical entertainment by the Pig War band.

THE

‘Sneak peak’ at SJCT By Scott RasmussenJournal Editor

A major motion picture it most cer-tainly is not.

Its production costs — to the tune of about $5,000 — is a telltale sign; its cast of amateur actors, including San Juan Island's own David VanderWal, is another.

Still, "Old Goats", produced by Seattle-area filmmaker Taylor Guterson is taking the film industry by storm, and you can get a "sneak preview" of this

unique endear-ing film as part of San J u a n

C o m m u n i t y Theatre's annual summer fundraiser, Sunday.

“It’s been shown at 12 to 15 different film festivals in the county and at just about all of them it’s done very well,” said VanderWal,

now three years into retirement after a career with an “unnamed” regional aerospace company.

“Goats” doesn't just pick up where "Grumpy Old Men" left off, it carves out new territory for those who refuse to go quietly into those golden years.

For VanderWal, a family friend of the young Guterson, a Bainbridge Island resident, it was labor of love, except for the part when he and fellow co-stars,

Bob Burkholder and Britton Crosley, shot a scene in Eastern Washington and froze their tails off while duck

hunting. “You don’t see the part

where I walk off camera and fall right into a frozen pond,” he said.

Picked up recently by a distribution company, “Old Goats” is slated to air in larger venues beginning in August.

For the theatre, the film’s sneak preview, which VanderWal (a SJCT board member), Burkholder and Crosley will be on hand for (show starts at 2 p.m.), is the first segment of the summer fundraiser, which includes a gourmet dinner of Northwest cuisine, hosted at a home on the island’s west side.

Tickets, dinner and film included, are $100 per per-son. For info, 378- 3211, ext. 24, www.sjctheatre.org.
