There’s going to be a lot of shuf-fling around over the next three months, as the Port of Friday Harbor undergoes renovation. Just like when any other neighborhood is under construction, those liv-ing at the marina anticipate some degree of inconvenience.

“I expect it to be a bit chaotic,” said Fred Vossen, displaced for the time being from his berth on F-Dock. “We haven’t even seen the barges and tugs yet. There will be a disruption, but you can’t do a big construction like this without it.”

How big is the reconstruction project? All docks, floats, pilings and utilities will be removed and replaced on C, E, and F docks. Boats kept at the marina year round have been moved to the breakwater and to guest docks to make room for the construction.

The docks will be reconstruct-ed in phases. For example, boats moved from F-dock to temporary slips will return once work on that dock is complete, then the next dock of boats will be moved so work can resume.

The last remaining docks from the marina built in 1972 will be replaced as part of the project.

“This is the biggest project we’ve done in a long time,” Port Director Marilyn O’Connor said, “and we’re excited about it.”

The final phases of the marina overhaul is part of the Port of Friday Harbor Master Plan, an undertaking that also includes replacement of the Spring Street Landing building and renovation of retaining walls, or bulkheads.

However, the reconstruction project has been in the works for 10 years and replacing the last of

the circa 1972 docks is the final phase in renovating the marina infrastructure. Phase I and Phase II included replacing underwater electrical services as well as several 20-year-old shallow water docks, and additional electrical work in preparation for Phase III, which begins Monday, Sept. 29.

Bonds were issued by the port to cover the cost of replacing the docks, estimated at $4 million, and Manson Construction was selected to undertake the project following a public bid process.

According to Harbormaster Tami Hayes, there’s no industry standard for when docks should be replaced. It depends more on the performance of a structure and how well it holds together over time.

New era unfolds with marina facelift

Breakthroughs come along every so often in the fight against cancer.

It’s because of breakthroughs like the “Hickman line,” a game-changer for intravenous treat-ments developed by Dr. Robert Hickman in the 1970s, and the drug Gleevec, formulated by Dr. Brian Druker and in use since the early 2000s, that San Juan Island’s Shann Weston discov-ered the odds of survival for one diagnosed with acute lympho-blastic leukemia, and that per-

son’s quality of life, are much better today than they were just a decade ago.

Diagnosed with acute lympho-blastic leukemia in early 2013, Weston shared her “survivor’s story” as part of the 2014 Relay for Life fundraiser Saturday, Sept. 27, as well as how a physi-cian’s assistant told her (“without irony”) that even though cancer

is a tough disease, this is a good time to have leukemia.

“Dr. Druker discovered how to break the fusion that was caus-ing life destroying cell growth for patients who had chronic myeloid leukemia, a disease that used to kill 100 percent of the people who had it,” Weston said. “And he was able to do it without

REDUCE • REUSE • RECYCLE

By Cali BagbySounder associate editor

For eight years, Foster Hildreth has been preparing for his new role as general manager of OPALCO. Now as he officially takes the helm, he looks to the community to help him with the future.

“I am focusing on what the membership wants to see and how to provide the best service we can,” he said.

At OPALCO’s 77th Annual Meeting last May, it was announced that Hildreth would become general manager when Randy Cornelius retires.

“I was groomed by Randy,” said Hildreth. “His mentorship really helped me.”

Hildreth started out at OPALCO in the financ-es and member services department in 2006. He was named assistant manager in 2011.

Cornelius said in a press release that “Hildreth is fully up to speed and very knowledgeable about all aspects of our co-op busi-ness—in fact, his contribu-tions to date have placed us in the impeccable finan-cial position that we enjoy today. The membership is in good hands.”

Hildreth earned his Bachelor of Science in finance and real estate and a

Master’s in business admin-istration and finance at the University of Southern California.

Before living on Orcas, Foster was in southern California working as the executive manager for sev-eral high profile public and private enterprises.

He oversaw the City of Pasadena’s $117 million seismic retrofit and reha-bilitation of the 1927 his-toric City Hall Building. He also managed signifi-cant projects for the Disney Development Company and the Robert Mayer Corporation.

According to an OPALCO press release, “Foster has put these skills to work for our co-op by improving our processes for budget-ing, scheduling, financial tracking and project man-agement.”

Life on an islandWhile not at the office,

Hildreth said most of his time is devoted to family, especially playing with his two kids, Stormy, 12, and Burly, 10.

His daughter Stormy is a frequent performer at com-munity events and Hildreth can be seen at every show in the front row recording each moment.

“Watching Stormy sing

is amazing,” said Hildreth. “But she got that from her mother [Chantelle Hildreth].”

Burly, on the other hand, has picked up the game of golf and left his father in the dust.

“He’s only been playing for two years, but he beats me,” said Hildreth.

Upcoming projectsAs general manager,

Hildreth is excited about continuing OPALCO’s mis-sion and getting a few items off the ground.

“Our core mandates are providing safe and reliable power, keeping rates down and embracing our conser-vation energy efficiencies and renewables programs,” he said.

Community Solar is one project hitting the islands this year. Basically the pro-gram will help people who do not have the ability to put solar on their houses to get linked in with a com-munity solar garden.

According to Hildreth, you buy a portion of the capacity of a solar panel and you get that percentage of production out of that panel, which is essentially a credit on your power bill.

Hildreth also looks for-ward to moving ahead with broadband. After failing to reach a certain number of members to sign up online last year, OPALCO has decided to go another direc-tion by allowing those that want broadband to receive it and are willing to pay.

According to Hildreth, OPALCO continues to conduct membership sur-veys and Hildreth has seen strong enthusiastic need for it in light of commu-nications challenges after a CenturyLink underwater cable was severed on Nov. 5. Islanders experienced the loss of telephones, 911 and Internet for nearly a week.

“We are reaching out to homeowners’ associations and different groups, and there is an interest and a lot of support for broadband,” he said. “We are focusing on what we can do, not what we can’t do.”

Luckier than some, per-haps, but Weston is among a growing number of islanders who, along with family, friends and care-givers, live with cancer every day. Many are now able to do so much closer to home, thanks to Peace

Island Medical Center’s cancer clinic, local support programs, blood drives and fundraisers like Relay For Life.

The number of patients receiving treatment at the PIMC cancer clinic far exceeds early expectations, according to longtime reg-istered nurse Dawn Alger, who specializes in oncol-ogy and manages the clinic. Expect four to five patients a week is what she was told when she joined PIMC.

“Our numbers have increased dramatically,” Alger said. “We’re see-ing 25-30 patients a week now.”

Raising money for research that leads to breakthroughs is only one of the goals of Relay For Life, according to Jeff Weatherbie of the American Cancer Society, a Relay for Life specialist based in Everett. The annual fund-raiser helps support educa-tion, local programs and specialty items for patients,

from comfort to clothes to wigs.

Friday Harbor Relay for Life had raised $15,000 even before the event officially got under way at its new home, the Friday Harbor fairgrounds. The event typi-cally generates the majority of donations collected at the yearly benefit, Weatherbie said.

And the change in venue, and date? To make par-ticipation at Relay For Life more convenient and more of a “community event.”

Previously, Relay For Life took place in mid-to-late July and outdoors, at the high school track and foot-ball field. Organizers hope holding the event in late September will allow more islanders to attend and expect the indoor venue to spawn innovative activities, like the musical perfor-mance this year by the One More Time Band.

In the meantime, the fight continues.

The docks under construction are 40 years old and, she said, “it’s time.”

Pilings, the tall circular posts driven into the harbor floor that hold up a dock, will arrive on barges and add to traffic in the marina. The work window is dictated by several dif-ferent permits, one of which only allows pilings to be driven at certain times of the year, a wildlife protection measure.

Still, early fall is optimum for major construction because there’s far less demand for slips and for space at the marina than in the sun-splashed months of summer.

“We’re still allowing guests to come in,” Hayes said. “We’re well prepared to handle all guest traffic.”

The port does not foresee any significant delays on the horizon, and anticipates the project will be completed sometime in December.

Kiwàht, the center for the historical ecology of the Salish sea, has announced results of the first systematic survey of the county’s bats in 75 years. San Juan County is full of bats and Orcas Island is the battiest island of all. The study included 105 nights of ultrasound recordings, visits to homes and barns where bats were reported roost-ing, and visual observations including dead or injured bats received by Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

“Over ten thousand bats were heard,” Kiwàht director Russel Barsh said, “and that is only per-haps one percent of what’s out there.” The most bat flyovers per hour were heard above lakes and ponds on Orcas.

There are 15 known species of bats in Washington and 9 species were identified by acoustic analysis on Lopez, Orcas and San Juan. The 9 species identified appeared in different proportions, which is attributed to the difference in habitats that are available on each island.

“For example,” Barsh said, “Yuma Myotis,

which like to hunt over open water, were more abundant on Lopez, while California Myotis, which seem to prefer to hunt wooded areas, were more abundant on Orcas.”

A tenth species, Keen’s Mytosis, is probably present on the islands but needs to be confirmed through genetic testing.

The Kiwàht study also confirmed that San Juan County is an important reservoir of Townsend’s Big-Eared Bat, a federal and state species of con-cern found at only a dozen maternity roosts in Washington. Townsends were identified on four islands. The reason for their relative abundance in San Juan County remains unclear. Good news for farmers, this species of bat specializes in eating moths, especially those detrimental to orchards.

The Kiwàht study also confirmed that many species of bats remain in the islands over the winter, dispersing locally rather than migrating to the mainland or hibernating. As studies continue next year the focus

will be the dispersal pattern of winter bats and what they are eating.

The American Wildlife Conservation Foundation helped fund the study of bats and the results have been submitted for publication.

Maggots on the Chelan? Too much

While waiting to board the Chelan for Friday Harbor (from Anacortes) this past Monday, I noticed the crew delay the sailing while the crew hosed down the deck. Why?

It seems that when the solid-waste transfer truck from Friday Harbor is in transit on the ferry, it is depositing maggots on the car deck of the ferry. Lots of them.

Apparently, this is a recur-ring situation on the ferry while bringing the garbage truck to the mainland.

While the ferry crew did their best to hose off this mess, there was still a pool of remaining maggots to drive through in order to board the ferry. Not pleas-ant or acceptable.

The solid-waste trans-porter/contractor must come up with a better solu-tion—and soon.

EMS levy doesn’t add up; vote ‘No’

When you vote no on the San Juan EMS Levy, you are not voting against the EMS or the volunteers; you are voting for fiscal responsi-bility.

Levy lifts should be for specific expenditures, such as a new ambulance or updating necessary equip-ment or buildings, not for increasing the salaries of administration and other office personnel.

Our elected and appoint-ed officials should always consider the taxpayers best interest first before spend-ing a dime.

The amount of money being requested now is far in excess of that which is necessary to provide quality service to our community with the level of emergency response to which we have become accustomed.

The wage and benefit packages for the paid staff have increased, having now reached approximately 1.9 million dollars.

Their staff has increase from three to now fourteen in 10 years, with almost twice the total entire opera-tion budget in ten years.

I want the Hospital Board commissioners to go back and assess the expenditures and ask for funding that shows fiscal responsibility. They have time to do this.

The San Juan Hospital Board has an obligation to act in the best interest of those who voted them into office. Vote “No” on the EMS Levy.

Fantasies don’t match with facts

An Open Letter to Alex MacLeod:

It’s been a pretty long time since a man has spun fantasies about me, so in a way I should be grateful to Mr. MacLeod for thinking about me in his off hours.

In his most recent piece in The Journal (online at SanJuanJournal.com, “Are we to believe the emperor has new clothes?” posted Sept. 21, “As I See It”) he claims I “pre-sumably” went off after a county council hearing at which John Bogert spoke

and “called board president Chris Thomerson to report on Bogert’s ‘testimony.’”

Mr. MacLeod is, of course, free to presume all he wants: it’s a free coun-try. And I can presume a journalist would check his sources before publishing.

Didn’t happen, and his presumption was untrue.

I hope he will check with me next time before making up and publishing a fantasy.

Hats off to these tele-com heroes

Last week a vital CenturyLink phone trunk to the county malfunc-tioned at a difficult time —shortly after we upgraded the telephone system in our county offices and in the midst of a major communi-cations equipment upgrade at the 911 dispatch center in the County Courthouse.

The initial response from CenturyLink’s central office was admittedly slow, however; when our local CenturyLink repair crew got involved, it went beyond the call of duty to cure the circuit problem, then to insure that the county’s phone service got back up and running.

Service was first inter-rupted Tuesday morn-ing, then restored on Tuesday afternoon, but CenturyLink’s Randy Skels kept monitoring the line and at approximately 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday he called council member (and former CenturyLink guru) Bob Jarman to report a second outage before the county’s offices were even aware of it (outgoing calls continued to go through via a different route).

Over the next few hours, Skels and Jarman, soon joined by CenturyLink’s Tim Connally, ran tests, replaced components and isolated the problem.

But when the line was confirmed back in service, phones at the courthouse still did not ring.

The three of them stayed with us as a resource while our IT staff and the phone hardware vendor identi-fied a fault within our PBX system and got us back in service.

As the county’s IT man-ager and on behalf of the county’s employees and the citizens who depend on our services, I thank CenturyLink’s Skels and Connally, and council mem-ber Bob Jarman for stepping in and doing everything necessary to get us working again, and for continuing to monitor the line to make sure that vital communica-tions can get through.

Quality care; vote ‘Yes’ on EMS levy

I’m writing in support of the SJ EMS levy.

Recently my mother passed away in her home and for many years prior to the peaceful end of her life, the prompt, expert, car-ing and gentle hands of our EMS team were with her in her times of need.

She felt safe living in her own home as she knew if something happened they would be there for her, and they always were.

The EMS professionals provide much more than emergency care when disas-ter happens, they support their patient and give sur-rounding friends and fam-ily emotional support and important information about what happens next.

The evening my mother passed away, several EMS members arrived and as sad a time as it was I realized that each person there had helped her over the years,

and had become family to her and all of us.

She was in their good hands all the way and they were there to say goodbye and give comfort to her family, too. Yes, the levy has the support of our fam-ily and I hope you will give yours, too.

Editorial

Let’s hear from youWind, rain, a drop in temperature.

Autumn announced its arrival in no uncertain terms.

And so, we say “So long” to another busy sum-mer season and “Hello” to what is, for most island-ers, an opportunity to ease back on the throttle a bit in the months ahead.

Or, is it? Along with the fall comes a different set of

seasons begging for attention: elections, political campaigns, property tax measures, the start of a new school year, high school and youth sports, stormwater, legislative sessions, the spending plans of public agencies. The weight of local issues tends to rise like a hot-air balloon as the hustle-and-bustle of the summer season fades in the rear-view mirror.

Here at the Journal, we’d like to know what you think. Is the proliferation of pot farms cause for concern? Does the noise of navy jets ruffle your feathers? Will ferry travel be more convenient, or perhaps more cumbersome, with a reservation sys-tem in place? Are you well-served by your public agencies? Can the Town of Friday Harbor “brand” itself in such a way that it creates a rising tide that lifts all boats?

Perhaps you’re already aware that the section of the newspaper devoted to letters to the editor and guest columns, the Journal Opinion pages, is a favorite among readers. The same holds true for the Journal web site as well, SanJuanJournal.com.

We’re gratified and quite often inspired that so many of you take the time to write, share your thoughts, insights, wit and opinions both with us and with your neighbors as well.

Keep ‘em coming.

As I See It

State legislature found in ‘contempt’San Juan Island School District responds to Supreme Court ruling

On Sept. 11, the Supreme Court of Washington found the state in contempt because the legislature has failed to submit a plan to fully fund basic educa-

tion as required by McCleary vs. State of Washington.This means that the legislators’ “paramount duty” has not

been fulfilled as required by the state constitution. However, the Court has ruled that sanctions will be withheld to allow the legislature time to develop options.

While many legislators are anxious to address our needs, others are claiming that because of the separation of powers, courts have no power to require that legislation be passed.

It is not clear which point of view will prevail.Over the last several decades, Washington state has

moved from fourth to forty-seventh in school funding. Our community has met this challenge though generous sup-port of school levies to the maximum allowed by law.

Further, we have strong support through our Community Foundation, Schools Foundation, Island Rec, Purple and Gold, our Arts community and many others. We have forged a private/public partnership that is as extraordinary as it is unique.

Our ranking in the top five percent of high schools in the nation and our entire district being one of only a hand-ful in the state to continue to meet federal requirements for improvement demonstrates how powerful this partnership is.

Now, most of our local levy goes to pay for basic costs rather than the extras that keep us in the top tier of school districts. This means the upcoming legislative session in January is going to be very important to the San Juan Island School District.

“Will the legislature do what is right and significantly improve our funding? It will come down to the citizens demanding it through direct contact with legislators,” school board director June Arnold said.

School board director Jack McKenna added, “Of course

the Board will be in direct contact with Olympia represent-ing our community, but without letters from our citizens as well, it becomes too easy for legislators to discount our input.”

Board Chairman Brent Snow continued, “Although it takes some time and effort, I encourage everyone in the community to set aside time to write our state senators, representatives and governor and encourage them to fund basic education at the levels they have promised. I can think of little else more important than educating our children and preparing them for bright and productive futures.”

is a fortunate example, part-nering with United Way to develop skills youth need to be community leaders in the 21st century.

United Way supports SJIPC to help youth acquire skills for navigating our globally competitive infor-mation age. Learning and innovation skills are what separates students who are prepared for increasingly complex life and work envi-ronments in today’s world and those who are not.

Through the SJIPC Youth Leadership Initiative, creative, hands-on “chal-lenge” experiences for chil-dren in grades K-12 help youth rediscover their own strengths and leader-ship skills, and to identify and acknowledge the gifts of others. Challenge devel-ops learning and innova-tion skills through team-building activities that focus on group connection. Objectives to instill essential skills of communication, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking (Four C’s)

are applied during problem-solving scenarios, based in metaphor, which assist youth in enhancing these attributes for success in today’s world. Yoga Calm, a unique component of “chal-lenge” offers children “Four C’s” tools to manage stress and develop school and home habits that improve their physical, emotional and mental well-being, and ultimately, enhance their academic achievement.

Through these experi-ences, young and older teen

leaders are taking charge of the direction of their lives and their community, while supporting younger youth to do so, too. The health of our community climate as well as the health of our natural environment are benefitting from our young leaders.

Community organiza-tions have partnered with San Juan Island Prevention Coalition to bring this criti-cal education to youth- San Juan Island Library, XYZ Movement Arts, San Juan Island School District,

Island Rec, San Juan County Conservation Corps, WSU San Juan County 4-H, Spring Street International School, San Juan County Fair, SJI Community Foundation, and others.

Admired Pacific northwest artist Micajah Bienvenu has opened a gallery of fine art at Cannery Landing. The gallery will feature mid-career, contemporary artists.

“This is a true fine art galley,” Bienvenu said. “We want to expose people to a new kind of work that isn’t usually shown here.”

The gallery grand opening, Oct. 4, 4-7 p.m., will feature work from the highly acclaimed, suggestive painter Steven

LaRose, a Seattle native. LaRose is one of the top 500 living painters in the world

and a master of abstraction, Bienvenu said. He also teaches figure drawing at the University of Oregon.

Bienvenu, known for his staunch yet elegant stainless steel sculptures, has exhibited his art for over two decades, from Alaska to New York. His sculptures appear locally at Roche Harbor Resort and the Friday Harbor ferry landing.

Bienvenu has been showing his work in galleries for 30 years and has a strong understanding of the business. His gallery’s sole purpose is not to make money, but to bring something different to the island.

“My goal is to have a beautiful eye on the wall,” he said. “A place where people can talk about abstract art.”

The gallery will continue to showcase artists throughout the winter and has events planned including a 3D painting instal-lation art show.

Regular gallery hours are Thurs. through Sun., 12-6 p.m.

Contributed PhotoGallery Bienvenu all set and ready to show Steven Larose’s work.

Gypsy Jazz Faves Return!

PEARL DJANGOSaturday, October 4 7:30 pm • San Juan Community Theatre

Gypsy Jazz band Pearl Django, pro-nounced j-AN-go, wanders to the San Juan Community Theatre from Seattle, Oct. 4, 7:30 p.m.

The esteemed quintet will have concert-goers swinging in the aisles of the Whittier Theatre, as their distinguishable hot club sounds simmer.

The band name plays tribute to Belgian guitarist Django Reinhardt, their ultimate inspiration, whose unmistakable rhythmic style pioneered Gypsy Jazz in 1930s Paris.

Rooted in the sounds of the gypsy jazz legend, the band’s signature style is marked by nimble string work, pulsing rhythm gui-tar, and of course, swing.

They dabble in traditional jazz classics and original compositions as well.

Voted the favorite area jazz band in 2003 by Seattle Weekly readers and featured on NPR’s All Things Considered in 2001, the band has gained considerable recognition over the decade.

They’ve played dozens of festivals, most notably the Festival Django Reinhardt in Samois sur Seine, a village in north-central France, and have recorded 12 albums.

With a performance history spanning nearly 20 years, Pearl Django has gained a following of dedicated fans and continue to play packed houses. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students.

See CALENDAR, Page 16

The San Juan Islands Museum of Art has been selected as a candidate for a state-funded grant. If awarded, the IMA could receive up to $650,000 toward construction of its visual arts museum on Spring Street.

IMA is ranked sixth among 14 finalists selected from a field of 50 appli-cants by the advisory com-mittee of the Washington State Building for the Arts. The committee’s list of rec-ommendations will now go to the legislative branch for funding consideration.

IMA Executive Director Charlie Bodenstab is enthused by the committee’s endorsement and by the potential grant. “We intend to meet their expectations and then some,” Bodenstab said.

Applicants were ranked on their ability to complete a project expediently, capac-ity to run a facility effec-

tively, community need and availability of other fund-ing resources. The state Building for the Arts advi-

sory committee is a 12-per-son panel representing a variety of non-profits and affiliated firms.

Fall is officially here and with it comes the nineteenth nearly annual Oktoberfest Celebration.

Gather at the fairgrounds, Oct. 11, 5 p.m. Enjoy the German themed evening complete with beer, brats and desserts. Bring your German heritage dog for a Dachshund race.

The Blaskapelle Oompah band will be performing traditional German style Oompah music. There will be sing along’s, polka danc-ing, and a costume contest.

In years past, attendance trumped 300–this year orga-nizers anticipate even more

sausage-eating, suspender-wearing, beer-drinking islanders to join in the fun.

The evening is sponsored by The Lions, Soroptimists,

Rotary and Chamber of Commerce. Ticket price to be announced. Wear a cos-tume and enjoy free admis-sion.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) 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.

FH blanked by BC

With a 55-yard scoring drive and 2-point safety to start the second half, the Wolverines erased a 5-point deficit, stole back the momentum and muscled their way into the driver’s seat of the Northwest 2B /1B League title chase in a 39-21 victory at home, Sept. 26, over La Conner.

Willie Blackmon dashed for two TD after the break and the Wolverines (3-1) sealed the win early in the

final period on a 45-yard touchdown toss from Peter Holt to Bill Revercomb.

The tide turned on the defensive side of the ball, as the Wolverines held La Conner scoreless after the break after giving up 21 points in the second period.

“The second half was a test of our character,” Coach Richard Ledford said. “I can’t say enough about how well these young men played.”

Second half rally highlights 39-21 FH win

The winning-streak ended at three, as the Wolverines found little traction on the offensive end against the state’s second best Division 2B team in 2013.

Bear Creek cashed in on a penalty kick before the break and a deflection after it to tally a 2-0 victory in a non-league match, Saturday, in Friday Harbor. The Wolverines (3-1 league, 4-4 overall) came into the match having outscored three consecutive opponents by a combined score of 18-2. Still, a competitive showing against the Grizzlies might be better for the Wolverines at this point of the season than another lopsided win, Coach Paul Hopkins said.

“We did a pretty good job against a strong offensive team,” he said. “They’ve got a quality program.”
