The

JournalBy Steve WehrlyJournal reporter

In the middle of his wel-come speech at the 78th Annual OPALCO membership meeting, Board of Directors President Chris Thomerson shocked many of the 300 or so attendees by announc-ing that General Manager Randy Cornelius would be retiring, then casually referring to Foster Hildreth as Cornelius’s successor.

Some mem-bers of the audience didn’t know that a decision on future lead-ership was even in the works. County C o u n c i l m a n Bob Jarman, who had con-sidered and rejected being a can-didate for the board, said he was troubled by the secrecy of the suc-cession process.

“They should have at least told the membership that they were going to pick a successor without a search,” said Jarman, who also said he had submitted a question on the issue to the annual meet-ing that morning, but it was not brought up at the meeting.

The high point of the annual meeting came with a standing ovation for Cornelius when he was introduced to give the “state of the cooperative” address to the assembly. The crowd of 210 members on board the ferry Hyak greeted Cornelius with a standing ovation, and repeated the ovation at the end.

Incumbents Vince Dauciunas and Glenna Hall were re-elected to

the OPALCO board of directors, but Steve Hudson pulled within 50 votes of Hall in the closest election with the largest turnout in recent memory.

D au c iu n a s racked up the most votes, 1,658; Glenna Hall polled 1,112; Steve Hudson made a strong show-ing with 1,062 votes. Doug Rowan polled 497, Brian Hoyer 386 and John Sheehan 128.

Journal file photo The Carter Avenue ballfields are intended to be the new home for many of Friday Harbor athletic teams, including the Dragons, a high school club sport sponsored by Friday Harbor Athletic Association.

By Steve WehrlyJournal reporter

“Play ball!” may soon be heard at the new community sports fields on Carter Avenue in Friday Harbor.

But first, the San Juan Island School District asked for changes to the original conditional-use permit approved in 2005 by the Town of Friday Harbor.

The three proposed amend-ments included relocation of a required sidewalk on Carter Avenue, from Guard Street to the ball fields, construction of a 1,440 square-foot pump-house and maintenance building, and

relocation of the family play-ground area to an area nearer the restrooms and parking lot.

Construction of the mainte-nance building and moving the playground area were tentatively approved by the town council at an April 24 public hearing, and were later formally approved by the council at its May 1 evening meeting. But the council rejected the sidewalk relocation plan.

John Kurtz, chairman of Friday Harbor Fields Board and of the Friday Harbor Athletic Association, which is undertak-ing the ballfields construction, said that constructing the side-walk on the west side of Carter Ave. might cost about $150,000 more than originally estimated, requiring postponement of the softball fields.

Kurtz said the board “will of course comply” with town requirements.

The original plan, as proposed and approved in 2005, envi-sioned two soccer fields, three softball and baseball diamonds, a multi-use field suitable for foot-ball, lacrosse and soccer, a family playground area and a clubhouse for restrooms and a concession stand.

To date, the clubhouse and the multi-use field have been completed. The other buildings and fields, except the postponed softball fields, are scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.

Sidewalks, stormwater reten-tion and other project elements must be completed before a town permit for use of the ballfields can be issued, according to Town Administrator Duncan Wilson.

Wilson said that a mainte-nance and operation agreement

OPMA lawsuit rejected by appellate court

Retirement beckons for town treasurer

By Steve WehrlyJournal reporter

A state appellate court this week rejected an appeal by a San Juan County based prop-erty-rights group, bringing a likely end to the legal battle over whether the County Council violated state law by meeting behind closed doors while crafting revisions to local land-use rules.

In a relatively brief, “unpublished opinion” issued on April 28, a three-judge panel of Division One of the state Court of Appeals decided unanimously that, “Because CAPR (Citizens’ Alliance for Property Rights) submitted no evi-dence that a majority of the Council attended CAO Team gatherings or that the CAO Team exercised actual or de facto decision mak-ing authority, no ‘meeting’ occurred for OPMA pur-poses, and summary judg-ment was appropriate.”

The 16-page opinion was written by Michael Spearman, who on April 1 became Chief Judge of the Seattle-based court.

In October 2012, the Citizens’ Alliance for Property Rights sued the county, claiming that the

Open Public Meetings Act was violated when a group of county employees and three County Council mem-bers met to discuss the then-pending update of the coun-ty’s critical areas ordinances.

In 2013, Judge Alan Hancock of Island County granted “summary judg-ment” to the county at trial, saying that CAPR had pre-sented no evidence that a trial on the facts was called for.

“I’m disappointed in the decision and in the fact that the very brief opinion was unpublished, which is an impediment to obtain-ing Supreme Court review,” CAPR attorney Dennis Reynolds said of the appel-late court decision.

Reynolds said no deci-

sion on a further appeal would be made until he had talked with CAPR and with representatives of the other groups - Allied Daily Newspapers, the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association and the Washington Coalition for Open Government - who filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting CAPR’s position.

The update of the CAO was passed by the County Council in December 2012. It has since been the object of multiple appeals by vari-ous interest groups, cases that are ongoing in the San Juan County Superior Court and before the Growth Management Hearings Board. The CAPR lawsuit is the first lawsuit related to

the CAO to be decided by an appellate court.

Deputy Prosecutor Amy Vira prepared the county’s brief and argued the appeal. Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord praised her handling of the case.

“Amy Vira went up against five lawyers with great cre-dentials and matched them by sticking to the facts and the law,” Gaylord said. “It was impressive. I’m glad she’s on my side.”

Town Treasurer Wendy Picinich announced her retire-ment after 30 years with the Town of Friday Harbor, effec-tive June 15.

Picinich holds the elected position of town treasurer and is also employed by the town as finance officer. She will resign her elected position upon her retirement date.

Picinich began employment with Friday Harbor Jan. 1, 1984. She is responsible for operations of the town finance department and she instituted many financial policies representative of the town’s fiscally conservative reputation. The town has received clean audits for many

years under her supervi-sion.

Picinich volunteered her time with the Washington Municipal Treasurers Association, serving on the board of that organization for many years. She was elected to multiple terms as the town treasurer, a posi-tion responsible for the care and investment of the town financial assets. Picinich’s current term expires Dec. 31, 2015. State law provides that

the town council must appoint a successor treasurer, who

between the school district and Island Rec must also be approved by the town.

Although the 34-acre site of the ballfields is owned by the school district, the Friday Harbor Athletic Association is raising con-struction money with pri-vate donations. A $1 mil-lion anonymous matching contribution was facilitated by the San Juan Community Foundation, and more than

$1.2 million in other con-tributions have already been raised. Fundraising is con-tinuing, Kurtz said.

Island Rec and Friday Harbor Athletic Association have entered into a memo-randum of understanding that when all conditions are met and construction is completed, Island Rec and the school district will then enter into the maintenance and operations agreement. At that point, Island Rec will seek voter approval of a levy increase to cover oper-ating costs for the complex.

ment, which would require three Energy Member Informational Meetings, was voted down by a 1,438 to 904 count. The second amend-ment, requiring streamed audiovisual or videoconferencing of board meet-ing, received 1,554 “No” votes to 776 “Yes” votes.

The 2,475 total votes cast was 23 percent of the approximately 11,198

OPALCO mem-bers.

Other than a forum on Lopez Island in April, there were no cam-paign events and none of the six candidates who could be reached said they had actu-ally mounted cam-paigns. The cooperative did little to promote the election, including

making no time for candidate statements or “ t h a n k - y o u ’s ” at the member-ship meeting. Hildreth, general manager in-wait-ing, said there was not time dur-ing the meeting to introduce the candidates or let them speak.

The only can-didate who was nominated by petition of the members was Steve Hudson, who has been cr it ica l of OPALCO’s plans

and actions to expand its fiber optic broadband backbone. Hudson also said he was concerned about lack of transparency of OPALCO’s broad-band planning and about wheth-er OPALCO electricity customers would pay to expand broadband capacity to deliver internet connec-tions on a retail basis directly to members.

The announcement that Hildreth would take over as the top executive of OPALCO was a surprise to most of the annual meeting audience, but not to the board.

Dauciunas said the board had been talking about the succession plan in private executive sessions for almost a year.

“The board talked with other co-ops in the state,” Dauciunas said. “None of the co-ops we talked with had any suggestions. They told us we should promote from within if we had an experienced executive. We had that in Foster Hildreth, so we saw no need to do an expensive executive search.”

D.T. McCarty, a frequent and vocal participant at hospital district and other public meetings on San Juan Island, was decidedly unimpressed at her first OPALCO membership meet-ing.

“This was my first meeting and I won’t be attending any more,” she said.

will hold office until certification of the November 2015 general election.

Town officials have started a search for a replacement, a task expected to take several months. Assistant Finance Officer Kelle Wilson will be named as interim finance offi-cer on the effective date of Picinich’s retirement. Wilson is expected to be a candidate to fill both the finance officer and treasurer positions.

“This loss will have a tremendous impact on our com-munity” Mayor Carrie Lacher said. “Wendy has been an absolute rock and is responsible for the excellent financial

condition of the town. We have come to depend upon her vast knowledge of town operations, her invaluable advice and her absolute integrity.”

Town Administrator Duncan Wilson added, “Wendy knew her job so well that it allowed the rest of us to focus elsewhere. I came to rely upon her wise management of the Town’s resources. She will be sorely missed.”

The town will post the opening during the week of May 5 and will close applications on June 3. Interested candidates should submit an employment application, resume and cover letter.

Town staff is planning a public celebration of Picinich’s service to the community and will announce details soon.

Islanders will hear more jet noise, more often, if scheduled runway maintenance at Ault Field on Naval Air Station Whidbey happens as planned.

It’s scheduled for the last week of May and second week of June.

NAS Whidbey announced in a press release that “rou-tine repairs to remove rubber and repaint runway mark-ings” will close one of the two Ault Field runways from May 31 to June 6, and the other from June 7-13. The Navy says the June 7 to June 13 closure may affect Lopez Island and the San Juans more than the earlier closure, but that the level of jet noise will depend on wind direc-tion and takeoff and landing patterns on particular days.

The NAS Whidbey Island public affairs office has established a new comment line and email address for complaints and concerns; (360) 257-6665. Comments can also be e-mailed to [email protected].

After local public officials were told during a recent visit to NAS Whidbey that naval base authorities were unaware that islanders had experienced noise problems, the Town of Friday Harbor

and San Juan County are in the process of implement-ing a website for registering noise complaints. Until the website goes online, contact

the town at 378-2810, or the County Council at 378-2898 with time, date and location of noise problems.

Roy Matsumoto – “Ranger Roy” - passed away peace-fully surrounded by his loving family on the morning of April 21, 2014.

He was less than two weeks away from his 101st birth-day. Born in Los Angeles and educated in Japan and in the U.S., Roy volunteered for the U.S. military from one of the camps into which the U.S. government forced 110,000 people of Japanese descent in 1942.

He distinguished himself with many acts of heroism during his service with Merrill’s Marauders in Burma, and is credited by other members of his battalion with saving their lives – twice! He was awarded numerous medals, including the Legion of Merit.

He was also inducted in the U.S. Army Ranger Hall of Fame, and the Military Intelligence Hall of Fame. In 2011, Roy received the Congressional Gold Medal along with other Nisei WWII veterans.

Roy had a life-long love of learning, and was an avid reader and collector of all kinds of books on science, history, and his favorite hobby, woodworking. He also loved fishing and the ocean, and enjoyed watching the ferries from his living room.

His was a familiar face in Friday Harbor, and he had many friends from all walks of life.

Aspects of Roy’s character seldom seen by others were his devotion to his family and his love of nature. He loved walking on his beach, collecting driftwood and rocks, and he supported many conservation causes. He also enjoyed visiting his daughter Fumi, and her family in Juneau, Alaska, where he liked to fish for salmon and halibut.

Roy is survived by his wife Kimiko, daughters Fumi (Richard Cormack) and Karen (John deChadenedes), and three grandchildren, Annie Matsumoto-Grah, Nik Matsumoto-Grah, and Bryan Cormack.

We will all miss Roy. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the San Juan Lions Club, c/o American

Legion, Post 163, PO Box 163, Friday Harbor, WA 98250, or the Nisei Veterans Committee, 1212 S King St, Seattle, WA 98144, of which Roy was a life member.

A potluck memorial service will be held for Roy on Memorial Day, May 26 at the Brickworks, 150 Nichols Street, Friday Harbor, Wash., from noon to 3 p.m. All are wel-come to help celebrate Roy’s life.

Views eclipsed byPort’s peaked-roof

A peaked roof on the planned replacement build-ing on the Spring Landing will eliminate harbor views from established businesses on Front Street.

The owner of the Cask & Schooner has added much appeal to Friday Harbor, at great personal expense.

The Port Authority included the roof over a mezzanine, used for events, on chance that the future tenant of Downriggers can afford to rent it. Should the mezzanine remain vacant, our views disappear unnec-essarily.

Our applause for the love, support

To all the people who supported us after Dan’s dramatic “event”, in so many ways—from medical help to offering to drive, to pro-viding food to mowing the grass, to writing checks, to just expressing your con-cern—a huge thank you from our hearts to yours.

How very lucky we are to live in this caring com-munity.

You will be glad to hear that, three stents later, Dan is doing well, although we have another couple of weeks of heart monitoring just for safety.

Dan’s first words on com-ing round were, “Can we

just start the show again?” and he has not wavered since, so, with the cardi-ologist’s approval already granted, not only will Twelfth Night go ahead as planned this summer, but we will be reprising “RED” in October.

This means that those of you who missed seeing it will have another chance. (Incidentally, it is not about communism, which appar-ently some people thought, but about the painter Mark Rothko!)

We had fabulous feed-back and look forward to sharing this thrilling play with you again in the fall.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude and surrounded by love and support. Thank you all so very much.

No monopoly on ‘Common Sense’

It’s easy to understand why the Common Sense Alliance (CSA) gets sup-port.

Most of us feel we have too many regulations. No question about it.

But we need to ask: why are we plagued with so many rules and regulations everywhere we turn?

Our laws are mostly based on protecting the majority from the minority that would take advantage. It’s particularly sad, in what is supposed to be a free country, to lose freedoms because of a few bad apples. That is our predicament.

It was considered pro-found in the 1950s when the comic page character Pogo said, “We have met the enemy and it is us!”

In land use, every prop-

erty owner wants to be able to do what he or she wants with his or her property, but they don’t want their neighbors to be able to do anything they want. So we have regulations.

Many realtors, like Mr. Buck (“Sparked by collapse of common sense” see pg. 7), and developers, want less regulation, which stands in the way of their business. Many, like myself, are con-cerned their business affects why we want to live here.

The purpose of govern-mental processes like the critical area ordinance is to find a balance. There is common sense on both sides, not just one.

HOWARD “HOWIE” ROSENFELDFriday Harbor

Support meant a lot; stay engaged

I’d like to thank all those who supported my candida-cy for the OPALCO board.

Please continue to moni-tor OPALCO’s plans and actions and encourage other members to participate. It’s a crucial time of risk and change for the electric co-op we own.

I especially want to thank Gray Cope for helping me understand the current state of affairs. We mem-bers are very lucky to have an informed, indepen-dent individual so devoted to learning not only what OPALCO is doing, but how, and what it is likely to result in.

Gray put together an internet forum for OPALCO members to learn from and contribute to. It is not run by the co-op, it’s completely independent. Please visit opalcoforum.info.

Congratulations to the reelected incumbents, Vince and Glenna. I hope you’ll work to improve the transparency of the board, and to guide it in the true best interests of the general membership, not just for the theories of an influential minority, at the expense of all electric ratepayers.

STEVE HUDSONFriday Harbor

No room at Co-op for dissent… why?

OPALCO’S Board of Trustees and/or its manage-ment have managed to con-vey the idea that it is up to no good.

Here are examples of this: It was announced on the handout at the annual meet-ing that people wanting to speak would be allowed one minute to do so. Then they didn’t allow anyone from the floor to speak.

There was only one slight-ly divergent point of view mentioned in the meeting

in a written question.The threatening of John

Bogert and Bob Jarman by lawyers from OPALCO never came up. It would be interesting to know what the reasons for intimidating them to be silent were.

Was it because they are inherently untrustworthy people? Were they going to reveal things embarrassing to the board, or, were they going to reveal matters that are legitimately kept private such as financial negotia-tions. If so why wasn’t that reason stated?

There have been com-ments that the board has used executive sessions, where the public is exclud-ed, to excess.

The proposed board regulation to prevent board members from talking about matters which haven’t been decided by the board is still another example of giv-ing off the feeling that they have something to hide.

Further confusing mat-ters is that board regula-tion No. 1 is on OPALCO’S

web site as if it is in force, and yet, in talking to board members I am told that it hasn’t been adopted. Is that the regulation which was the basis for lawyers threat-ening Bob Jarman and John Bogert?

Two competent and knowledgeable people have resigned from the board recently and a third person was discouraged from run-ning.

That is suggestive of problems on the board which need explanation and airing.

Editorial

Keep it simple, but don’t forget You may be aware that it was West

Virginia’s Anna Jarvis who started Mother’s Day, as a memorial to her

mother. What you may not know is that Jarvis later renounced the day as a “Hallmark Holiday” and reportedly said she regretted starting it.

Fittingly, the day became popular after Jarvis talked John Wanamaker, the Philadelphia department store magnate, into making the sec-ond Sunday in May a special church service day at Philadelphia’s Bethany Presbyterian Church, a church Wanamaker founded.

It’s now one of America’s most commercial-ized holidays, one of the biggest days of the year for telephone calls, for flower and greeting card sales, and for Mother’s Day brunches. It’s also supposedly the highest church attendance day after Christmas and Easter. It’s now observed around the world in many religions. In America and many Christian countries, worshipers cel-ebrate the day with carnations - colored if the mother is living, white if she is not.

Jarvis supposedly spent much of her inher-ited fortune fighting the commercialization of Mother’s Day, even being arrested in 1948 for disturbing the peace while protesting against the commercialization of the day she founded.

While we certainty respect Jarvis’ purity of purpose, don’t let the commercialization of the holiday stop you from doing something special for the woman who will always love you most.

And, if you’re in a pinch for a good idea, con-sider this: the Land Bank’s guided wildflower and natural history walks on Cady Mountain Preserve Mother’s Day weekend, Saturday and Sunday. Meet in Friday Harbor at 2 p.m. to catch a shuttle that will take you to the preserve. Space is limited, RSVP required.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

Guest column

By Bruce GregorySpecial to the Journal

There have been a lot of interesting comments posted lately in the various news outlets about the idea that if your property is not in a current-use or other tax

break program, you are paying more than your share. I would like to give a perspective that comes from the

agricultural community point of view, and I know that many of the members of the Ag community and the com-munity that buy and consume our products would speak from the same side of the fence.

First off, my farm has been in the current-use farm and agri-culture (CUFA) program since the early 1980s. We play by the rules and we provide the information requested by the assessor for monitoring and compliance with the state mandated pro-gram. We maintain several farm enterprises and grow several locally consumed crops. Our customers support us; we sup-port them with nutritious, healthy produce and meats.

We also support the community in many other areas that have been left out of the discussion.

As a farm, we are blessed with good, fertile soil, clean, quality water and big interest in sustainability. We want the systems we work for. We want them to move on through time. We work our way through the seasons with a lot of effort, work and sweat.

Some of this effort is creating conditions that allow us to harvest the sun, the basis of all agriculture. We like to think that this work is what pays our additional taxes and part of my feedback to you the reader, and fellow taxpayer, is this; a lot of the positive benefits and issues are being ignored.

So, what do you get as a landowner in exchange for my taxes being somewhat lowered? Are your taxes so high that you need a scapegoat (pardon the pun)?

Guess what, taxes are very low in San Juan County because we have one of the lowest tax rates amongst all the counties. Here are some of the hidden or not often thought

of benefits you do get:What about those pastoral fields, grazing livestock,

orchards, field crops and a local food system? This is a kalei-doscope that follows the seasons. Is this not a geography of place that supports rural elements?

This is a specific set of outcomes you get to live amongst and participate in. It does not happen in a vacuum, some-one has to manage the land to get to it. You probably enjoy seeing it. You may even be a lucky consumer of a product that was grown on those very same lands.

Without farmers and farmland you would not have these. You would live amongst houses. Your taxes would be even higher as it is well known that rural landscapes require less in services (i.e. taxes) than houses and sprawl.

Clean water, clean air, and more importantly, in these days of the climate change debate, carbon sequestration are additional benefits you get. All the lands in agriculture and forest have a profound role to play in filtering rainwater and seasonal run-off while providing a massive but often hidden benefit.

Their work load is built-in, cycling nutrients and carbon. Farms and forests when managed by humans properly,

From the other side of the fenceFarmland, and farmers, produce a bounty of benefits often overlooked

Sparked by collapse of common sense By Sam BuckSpecial to the Journal

The Common Sense Alliance was created in response to, what seemed like to us, complete dis-

regard for the property owners. We stated to the

San Juan County Council, “If there are tangible, logi-cal reasons for the proposed very burdensome regu-lations, the public might accept them as necessary for the greater good.”

We asked over and over again, “What are the prob-lems?” We saw reams of big solutions created for undefined problems.

None of us wanted to “get involved,” as we were all very busy with our lives. We saw an urgent need for someone, anyone, to step up and do something. None of us had anything personal to gain, we were just incensed that our governing body had such little regard for land owners, most (if not all) of whom love and appreciate nature.

Additionally, there seemed to be lit-erally no regard for the economic sta-bility of our county, which definitely

impacts school enrollment and other aspects of our quality of island life.

The people leading our county actu-ally said: “We are not required to consider the economic impacts,” when creating land use regulation.

We reluctantly realized that we were the only people willing to step up to see if we could help bring some com-mon sense into the picture. Are we radical “rape the land” evangelists? Clearly not.

We are people who care enough about you, and this county, to meet almost every week for over five years. What is our dastardly deed? We are guilty of doing our best to bring to your attention the consequences of giving in to the radical, and very impactful, land use changes that so few of our citizens have yet to really grasp.

Should such behavior disqualify all of us from serving on any public board?

We have raised a very small amount of money, relative to the “Friends”

bankroll, to challenge the critical areas ordinance immorally imposed on us by the lame-duck San Juan County Council. The citizens rejected the direction they were taking us and they jammed it down our throats anyway.

We simply want a CAO update based on peer-reviewed science that is proportional to any problems discov-ered, that allows for, and encourages, innovative solutions, and is balanced against (not driven by) the economic realities of our county. Such bad, bad, people indeed.

There are some who are very annoyed that anyone would dare to stand in the way of their version of “saving the world.”

It takes a tremendous commitment of time, energy and patience to be a mem-ber of the Planning Commission. I hope that most of you will agree that having some people on the planning commis-sion that question, and bring into the light of day, positions that they deem to be unfounded, to be a very good thing.

When government steals away the intended reasonable use and therefore the enjoyment of one’s land, govern-ment is stealing the dreams and sav-ings born of a lifetime of hard work. When there is no clear reason (nexus)

Informed dissent should be embraced, even on the planning commission

enhance these cycles. What happens to the personal level of pollution that each of us is responsible for? Well, it just so happens that grasslands do a very good job of capturing

CO2. So do forests. We are talking giga-tons here. If we did not have those farms and trees found in our

rural lands we would not be maintaining a bank of seques-tration by keeping these lands open. Try putting a price on some of these items so often swept under the rug of anger and myopic outlooks.

When you pay your taxes think beyond the property line, think out into the whole that makes up these islands we call home.

There are folks who have no doubt taken advantage of the current tax deferment programs. Happily, those who did not play by the rules will have other options to consider. We don’t like working up a sweat for those types and it enrages us to think they would get the same break as we do without all the work.

The folks that play by the rules, and this includes those in CUFA or designated forest land, are working hard to pay the community in services that few economists have attempted to quantify in dollars and cents.

Eco-system services are what it is all about. Think about this when you next drive through one of the island agricul-tural vistas.

Oh, and try the farmers markets, or your neighboring farm, for local food, eat closer to home.

Bees are probably are the best-known of the bunch, but they are other pollinators at work and just as “busy-as-a-bee” in giving farms, gardens and forests of the islands, and elsewhere, of naturally, their magic touch.

Find out how to make your farm or garden habi-tat-friendly for pollinators and how to attract them to where you’d like them to go as part of a free two-hour workshop, entitled “Bees and Beneficial Insects,” Saturday, May 10, at San Juan Islands Mitchell Bay Farm and Nursery, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

The workshop, spon-

sored by San Juan Islands Conservation District, will include talks by longtime beekeeper Colleen Howe of Mitchell Bay Farm and by San Juan Nature Institute’s Fiona Norris, a tour of Mitchell Bay Farm’s gardens and a free sun-flower seed giveaway.

for imposing these very limiting non-sensical regu-lations upon the landowner and logic is nowhere to be found, one wonders what happened to “common sense?”

We actually stated in our

first meeting: “What hap-pened to good old-fashion common sense?”

The deeper you dig into these new rules, the less of it you will find. CSA is committed to reversing that trend.

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

Norman Vincent Peale, author of “The Power of Positive Thinking” deserves credit for extolling the virtues of mind over matter.

But when it comes to unmitigated, unbridled optimism, it’s Little Orphan Annie who truly wrote the book.

The heart-warming story of the little girl who wins over the worldly and streetwise of New York City with her sunny disposition and soft-spot for a little lost dog takes center stage when San Juan Community Theatre reaches back into the history books and revives its first-ever musical production, “Annie” as part of its 25th anniversary celebration.

The production, directed by Susan Williams, who played the role of Grace in the theatre’s 1989 production, features a cast of more than 30 islanders, a support crew of more than 40, a 15-piece orchestra, a costume-crew of 10, three choreographers, 10 so-called “kid wranglers” and a dog. Yes, one dog, who plays its role as Sandy to a tee.

While the scenery promises to be much different than that of the the-atre’s original production, and the orchestra much larger, the story and many of the costumes will be the same as presented in 1989.

“I thought it would be really fun to go back to where we started,” Williams said.

In addition to Williams, costume designer Anita Welch and Brad Welch, who’s in charge of set construction, were also involved in the ‘89 production. Anita played the role of Lilly St. Regis and Brad helped with building the ‘89 set. And then there’s supporting actor Bert Dayton, who 25 years later will revive his “floater” role, as one of the background per-formers and, more importantly, singers.

“I do this because I love to sing,” said Dayton, who’s been part of more than 20 theatre musicals. “I love the process of the play and meeting all

the new people.”Based on the comic strip character Little Orphan Annie, which debuted in the New York Daily News

in 1924, Annie’s story unfolds in 1933 in New

York City during the Great Depression. An optimistic orphan living in a dreary orphanage ruled by the mean-spirited Miss Hannigan, master-fully portrayed by Penelope Haskew, Annie’s life takes a dramatic turn thanks to the intervention of sweet secretary Grace and the soft heart of billionaire Daddy Warbucks (Bo Turnage).

The production features a host of familiar tunes, such as “Tomorrow,” “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile,” and “It’s a Hard Knock Life,” and a captivating performance by ElseDora Arendt in the lead role of Annie. Adding to the excitement of starring in the three-week run of performances, ElseDora will also celebrate her 10th birthday May 9, that’s on opening night.

A veteran of Missoula Children’s Theatre productions and San Juan Community Theatre’s “Family Theatre” shows, ElseDora is no stranger to musical performances and expects to slip seamlessly into her character after the initial jitters subside.

“When I’m on stage, I feel like the char-acter I’m playing,” said the Friday Harbor fourth grader.

There’s nothing like the power of positive thinking.

If you’d like to find out more about what goes on at the University of Washington Friday Harbor Laboratories, here’s your chance.

The annual Open House hosted by Friday Harbor Labs is Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. While squishy creatures and underwater diving demonstrations will no doubt attract the attention of many, there’s a lot more in store for the day. Here’s just some of what you’ll find:

Self-guided tours of the Labs facilities, grounds and docks offer opportunities to touch a variety of exotic marine creatures, scoop up plankton, wield a high-powered micro-scope and catch a behind-the-scenes look at cutting-edge research facilities, with scientists and students on-hand to showcase an array of scientific equipment and explain what they do with it.

Research at the Labs ranges in scale from molecular to global, from cellular to ecosystem, and the subjects of much of that research—marine creatures—range in complexity from the simplest sponges to the much more elaborate, like

mollusks, other invertebrates and fish. Research at the Labs is in no way confined to the labora-

tories, of which there are no fewer than eight; often it begins in the field, so to speak.

Explore the 58-foot research vessel, the Centennial, and check out remotely operated oceanographic tools and sonar systems. There are talks, too: the history of the Labs, 1 p.m., by Dr. Claudia Mills; effects of ocean acidification on mussels, 2 p.m., by Dr. Emily Carrington; and the power of the Labs transmission electron microscope, 3 p.m., by Dr. Victoria Foe.

Lessons of ‘King Lear’ illuminated on screen, in HD

The fall can prove extraordinary and ruinous when the powerful suc-cumb to flattery, jealousy and self-deceit.

Perhaps no better portrayal of such cir-cumstances exists than Shakespeare’s classic trag-edy, “King Lear,” next up in San Juan Community Theatre’s series of National Theatre Live in HD pre-sentations, Monday, May 12, at 7 p.m.

Lear, an aged king, divides his kingdom between his three daughters according to which is most eloquent in praising him. Cordelia, his favorite, says nothing and

Lear’s world descends into chaos.

Simon Russell Beale stars in the title role of the live theater production from London, directed by Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes (American Beauty, James Bond: Skyfall).

Purchase tickets, $20 adults ($18 SJCT members), $10 students, at the the-ater box office or online, at www.sjctheatre.org.

Tasty trio on display at Brann Cabin Bake-Off

Here’s a rare combination and one that you don’t want to miss.

Blend together a healthy dose of history, a slice of mouth-watering pie, the spectacular scenery of the westside and what you get? Well, the second annual Brann Cabin Bake-Off, of course.

Sponsored by San Juan County Parks & Fair, the Brann Cabin Bake-off fea-tures an ol’ fashioned bake-off contest—fruit pie is the theme—a history talk (6 p.m.), campfire, and

the judging and tasting of contest entries, 7-9 p.m. The historic cabin’s newly installed doors and win-dows will be on display as well.

The evening’s events get underway Wednesday, May 14, at the San Juan County Park, on Westside

Road, beginning at 6 p.m. Recommendation donation is $10-$100, to help fund interpretation materials for the park’s historic Brann Cabin.

For more info, entry forms, visit the Parks & Fair website, at www.sanjuanco.com, or 378-8420.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a firewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
