The

Journal

By Steve WehrlyJournal reporter

Town council candidates Matt Shildneck and Farhad Ghatan answer five questions from the Journal. Winner of the Nov. 4 elec-tion will replace Felix Menjivar on the council.

Council members receive $400 per month plus $50 for each coun-cil meeting attended. The five-person council, elected at-large to four-year terms, approves the town’s annual budget, are ex-offi-cio members of town advisory committees, represent the town at official functions and meet-ings and enact ordinances, which become part of the municipal code.

Town council candidate: Matt Shildneck

Journal: Why do you want to serve on the town council?

Shildneck: I decided to run for this seat because I didn’t want to see the incumbent run unopposed, and I felt that I could do a better job. I am a current member of the Historic Preservation Review Board and Planning Commission. I love this town and island, this place has been my home for

30-plus years, my daughters are sixth-generation islanders, and I want to do my part to help keep this place special for them and their children. As an electrician I have worked with town employees

The usual brief and methodi-cal Friday Harbor Town Council meetings were replaced Oct. 17 by a fast-paced day working on a full agenda and visiting with a contin-gent of County Council members at a joint session.

After excusing another absence by town Councilman Felix Menjivar (his eighth straight since the primary election), the council

jumped into the two-page agenda at the usual noon and 5:30 p.m. meetings.

The agenda was jammed with two ordinances, three resolutions, the 2014 town budget, the lodg-ing tax grant recommendations, a joint meeting with the San Juan County Council, a thank you from Lynn Danaher for the council’s support of the “highly successful” first annual Friday Harbor Film Festival, and a public hearing on where a marijuana store could be located in the town.

The marijuana zoning ordi-nance, part of the late afternoon council session, attracted the most public interest, especially when town planning chief Mike Bertrand said a marijuana retail

store would probably be limited to a strip along Mullis Street, from the Technology Building to Browne’s Home Center.

The council expects to pass the ordinance in the coming few weeks so that interested pot entre-preneurs can apply for the coveted license for San Juan Island. Orcas and Lopez islands are also slated to be licensed for one store each under regulations implementing initiative 502, the voter-approved measure which legalized recre-ational use of marijuana for adults in Washington state.

The first agenda item of the day, however, was an ordinance amending the 2002 Town of Friday Harbor Comprehensive

Council weighs pot law

Got spirit? Yes, they do

Proposal would limit retail sales to small strip along Mullis St.

It’s mid-morning in mid-autumn and the skies over Friday Harbor are crystal clear. But out in the distance a thick bank of clouds stretches low across the horizon

and the phones lines are abuzz in the headquarters of Island Air. The low ceiling has grounded flights elsewhere in the islands and people who had hoped for a quick hop from here to there are calling Island Air to see if Jackie Hamilton might be able to step in and get them to where they want to go.

It’s not how Hamilton, owner, president and director of operations of Island Air, expected to start off the day, but that’s pretty much par for the course.

“The schedule you have when you show up in the morning is almost always completely different from what it turns out to be when you leave for the day,” says Hamilton, who started the San Juan Island-based chartered air carrier from scratch 21 years ago. “You have to be adaptable.”

An ability to adapt has helped Hamilton to turn a fledgling business into a solid and successful aviation company over the past two decades. She’s learned a few other helpful hints along the way. Like it helps if your endeavor involves something you truly love. But don’t expect that that will make it any easier, so be prepared to give it all you got.

“If you’re looking to give it a minimum amount of effort or a minimum amount of work, it won’t fly,” she said.

You might say that Jackie Hamilton was born to fly. The daughter of a commercial airline pilot, she got bit early by the flight bug,

Q & A: Port commission candidatesIncumbent Mike Ahrenius faces local antique merchant Daniel Miller in the race for a position on the Friday Harbor Port

Commission. The Port operates the Friday Harbor marina and airport, as well as public property and facilities at Jacksons Beach. The Port is governed by a three-person commission elected to staggered six-year terms; commissioners receive $95 pay for each meeting, oversee and approve the yearly port budget, and are responsible for hiring a port director.

FH Port Commission incumbent: Mike Ahrenius

Journal: Why do you want to be port commissioner?

Ahrenius: At this point there is more that I can con-tribute to the Port of Friday H a r b o r and the r e s i -dents of San Juan Island by way of experience in the industry and, now with the loss of the Spring Street Landing building, seeing this project through to com-pletion is very important.

J: What should be done about rebuilding or replac-ing the Spring Street Landing Building?

Ahrenius: As one voice of three commissioners, I fully expect that this project will be a total replacement, given that the building we lost was made up of sev-eral buildings over the years and countless remodels for varying purposes.

This building proj-ect must also reflect what Friday Harbor has become and where it may be headed in the next fifty plus years, and be flexible enough to change as time and tenants change.

J: What is your plan for waterfront bulkhead repair or replacement? Would you

support a boardwalk along the waterfront from the Port to the ferry dock? What should be done with port property at Jackson Beach?

Ahrenius: Personally I would love to see stairs to the water’s edge so people can touch the water. In reality, I will be happy with whatever we can get through as long as it contains an exceptional pedestrian walkway as part of an eventual waterfront boardwalk.

As far as Jackson Beach is concerned, it also is part of our waterfront planning and has been part of our discussions in Port meet-ings all along, but since there is no continuous income stream we are care-ful how we spend money there. But yes - it’s time for some improvements.

J: What can the port do to maximize port income from the marina? From the air-port?

Ahrenius: Your staff keeps a close eye on this issue at both locations. Any time we can garner more income without being too aggressive or spend too much to gain too little, we will talk it over, come to agreement and move for-ward.

FH Port Commission candidate: Daniel Miller

Journal: Why do you want to be port commissioner?

Miller: Well, I am run-ning for port commissioner pos 1 to work help keep down property taxes, as well

as careful s p e n d -ing at the port.

I am also run-ning to w o r k to help b u i l d jobs and a good local economy.

I am also running for port commissioner to help with great publicity for port events and to help provide ideas of good festivals that the port could put on. I am also running because I love the water.

Several years ago I did what you call long-line fish-ing. That was lots of fun.

J: What is your plan for waterfront bulkhead repair or replacement? Would you support a boardwalk along the waterfront from the Port to the ferry?

Miller: I think that before we repair the bulkhead, we should start the rebuild-ing of the Downriggers building. The Downriggers building is home to sever-al businesses and over 50 jobs. A boardwalk along the water front would be nice, but before we consider a project like that I think we should finish building the Downringgers building and work to get it done quickly.

J: What can the port do to maximize port income from the marina? From the air-port?

Miller: One way to increase revenue is encour-age more business develop-ment on port property. But, it should not just be about maximizing income.

The port is supposed to be for the community as well as tourists. So, fees and such should be reasonable.

Helen Venada, a long-time resident of Friday Harbor, passed away on Oct. 12, 2013 after a short illness.

She was 70 years old.Helen moved from the

island earlier this summer without saying goodbye to many friends and loved ones. Her family hopes that those of you who wish they could have said goodbye can take comfort in knowing that she was cared for and loved by her son, daughter and son-in-law, in their home in California.

Helen will be remem-bered for her intuitive,

amazing gardening skills and her lifelong dedication to environmental advo-cacy. We honor her life by remembering her message of living simply.

on and at all of the town’s utility systems. I feel that my time and experience here gives me a unique perspective of this Town that I think is lacking on the Council now.

J: What issues will you emphasize if elected? Shildneck: I think that one of the biggest issues is the rela-

tionship between the town and the county. We are all one community here on San Juan but we don’t work together as well as I feel we should. The best example of this is our solid waste system. The town and the county could save a lot of money if they could make the Sutton Road property work for both the town and county.

J: Can anything be done to lower the high costs of water and sewer services for town residents?

Shildneck: The mayor and council are doing their best to keep the rates as low as they can. It’s just tough on the 2,185 residents of town to have to support water and sewer systems that have to handle 25,000 people at its peak. I would continue to work with the mayor and other council members to keep our rates low and look for new solutions to this problem.

J: Are there improvements or projects the town would be

wise to invest in?Shildneck: Traffic is something I think the town really

needs to look at for the future. Not only at the ferry landing, but with the flow of cars through town. Marguerite Place is becoming a truck bypass for all traffic moving north and south on the island. This is another area that I think the town and county need to work together on.

Town council candidate: Farhad GhatanJournal: Why do you want to serve on the town council?Ghatan: I am excited at the prospect of working with

the sophisticated team that makes up our town govern-ment. Our brilliant new administrator Duncan Wilson, and trusted town Treasurer Wendy Picinich, along with the community leaders that make up the town coun-cil, continue creating cost-savings while providing top notch services for town residents. I would be honored to work with our efficient and thoughtful Mayor Carrie Lacher and the rest of the hard-working staff at the town on the many fine projects proposed for the coming future. My numerous commitments to local non-profits and community organizations are simple reflections of the love and appreciation I have for the town and I look forward to helping preserve this island gem for genera-tions to come.

J: What issues will you emphasize if elected? Ghatan: My passions are many but economic develop-

ment, public safety and affordable living are critical to our way of life. I appreciate the many benefits of living off of the mainland “grid” and understand the challenges asso-ciated with them. Broadband service is critical to con-tinuing to attract the low impact/high value businesses that will be major economic drivers in the near future. With our new county public safety tax, we now have a dedicated funding source for our many needed street and sidewalk improvements, some of which will also drive economic development. I look forward to working on obtaining grants from the state and local authorities to continue improving our infrastructure with little or no cost to the local user.

J: Can anything be done to lower the high costs of water and sewer services for town residents?

Ghatan: Reducing the costs of water and sewer services to town residents will be a great challenge but one that I am looking forward to exploring. Kudos to the town for the modest $2 a month proposed increase in our water base

rate and zero sewer rate increase in the 2014 budget. We have some of the highest water and sewer rates in the State and can expect major repairs and improvements to these systems in the years to come. However, there are many funding sources that can be explored that may make these improvements possible without impacting the consumer’s pocketbook. I hope to be able to offer my business skills to maintaining the highest efficiencies and pass on these cost-savings to the taxpayer.

J: Are there improvements or projects the town would be wise to invest in?

Ghatan: I see many exciting opportunities ahead. Recent partnerships with the county, port and ferries have yielded exciting plans and commitments for future local develop-ment in our town. I look forward to helping alleviate heavy traffic in residential areas, providing efficiencies in ferry loading and off-loading, creating a cohesive waterfront for pedestrians and continuing with our street, sidewalk and infrastructure improvements all over town. We can look forward to a bright future if we all work together on these common goals.

Plan. The new plan updates the six year transportation and capital facilities plans, laying out plans for roads, the water system, the sewer and wastewater system and the solid waste management system.

The rest of the early after-noon was spent in a joint meeting with the San Juan County Council, reviewing such subjects as the port fire rebuilding plans and being updated on the water transmission line project, the Cattle Point Road proj-ect, the tourism master plan and other items of mutual interest.

After the public hearing on marijuana at the 5:30 p.m. session, the crowd dis-bursed and the council dug into the first general outline of its 2014 budget.

Although total revenues and expenditures were not available, the first rough cut includes a 2 percent property tax increase and a $2 increase in the water base charge, from

$40 per month in 2013 to $42 per month in 2014. A proposed five-percent sewer base charge increase, from $97.75 per month to $102.65 per month has been removed from the budget.

A new recycling charge of $2 per can and an increase of the yard waste charge from $1 to $2 per can are contemplated, as are a 1.5-percent wage increase for all employees and a two percent increase in the amount budgeted for law enforcement services paid to San Juan County.

The budget will be front-and-center for the rest of the year for the council, with final passage of next year’s spending and expen-diture plan expected at the last council meeting in December.

The agenda for the next council meeting, scheduled Nov. 7 after the election, is not expected to be quite as full – but one item for the agenda, according to Mayor Carrie Lacher, may be the repeated absence of Menjivar from council meetings.

Law:Continued from page 1

By BLM District Manager Daniel C. Picard

On Oct. 15, the Bureau of Land Management began implementation of a shore line stabilization project at Watmough Bay on Lopez Island.

This project was designed in response to the discovery that sensitive cultural resources at this site were being threatened due to winter storms and wave action. The project itself consists of moving a few existing logs, install-ing two new ballasted logs, and strategically placing four boulders for the purposes of protecting sensitive cultural resources.

In the past two weeks a number of you have noticed that the project is underway. It is unfortunate that we were unable to have adequate staffing on site to effectively com-municate with local citizens trying to gain information about the history and intent of the action. Therefore, we hope to provide some clarification here.

In 2011, BLM's engineer and archaeologist along with the interdisciplinary resources team approved the project design and moved through the standard environmental assessment process for its approval. Public scoping was accomplished using contacts from the district office's list of self-identified interested citizens.

Subsequent permits and approvals for the project were obtained from state Fish and Wildlife and department of Ecology and San Juan County for the shoreline permit. The BLM also coordinated these efforts with the local tribal cultural preservation offices.

Our error in this process was our failure to revisit the project design with all interested parties at the end of the environmental assessment process, and then again as we were planning to accomplish the stabilization process work.

Since 2011, BLM has put significant effort into develop-ing an extensive local mailing list of interested citizens and organizations. We have this tool available to us for outreach efforts but failed to ensure that this step was taken for this project.

Though not a legal requirement for this type of action, we believe this level of communication and transparency would have demonstrated our regard for the long-standing history of outstanding public stewardship of these lands, and our commitment to the ongoing development of a collaborative partnership for managing the monument's resources.

I deeply regret this error, and am committed to improv-ing communication processes for our District, and to work with islanders in development of management strategies for those Monument resources.

One benefit of the monument status is the national level of commitment to protect, preserve and restore the monu-

ment landscapes, and our determined assurance that we will be continuously working on improving our systems to support this objective.

To that end, I invite you to join our list of interested parties so that you can be contacted directly. Please send your contact information to Wenatchee Field Office (blm_or_wn@[email protected]). I thank you for your patience and understanding.

San Juan Island National Historical Park reopened Oct. 17 on the heels of an agreement over a temporary spending measure that brought an end to the partial shutdown of the federal government.

Along with NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of the Interior, parent agency of National Parks, was among the many federal departments shuttered during the 16-day shutdown.

“We are happy to be back at work preserving the park and welcoming visitors to English and American Camps,” San Juan Island National Parks Superintendent Lee Taylor said in a press release. “I would like to thank the community for their patience during the closure.”

A total of eight park employees were furloughed as a result of the shutdown, while two others remained on duty to provide security and emergency services.

San Juan Island National Historical Park consists of American Camp, English Camp, Fourth of July Beach,

Mitchell Hill and the newly acquired property on Westcott Bay. The park draws more than 200,000 visitors each year.

The visitor center at American Camp is open Wednesday through Sunday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The English Camp visitor center is closed for the winter, but picnic areas and all park trails are open, along with those at South Beach and Fourth of July Beach.

Fair needs funds; nix drive-in films

The $25,000 Drive-in Theater grant that will be implemented at the fair-grounds will actually do the opposite of what it was intended to do.

It will generate adverse relationships with the island residents whose homes border the fairgrounds and without their support, future projects may be in jeopardy.

It will cause unnecessary fuel consumption, air pollu-tion, sound pollution, light pollution, and vagrancy issues. It will cause unnec-essary traffic congestion. It will not foster good parent-ing, as movies will be shown after a 10 p.m. sundown.

It will promote restless teens to hang out and watch the movies for free without supervision. It will require a “police” presence to enforce rules and regulations to be imposed by non-police staff.

The grant will actually end up draining the already scant funds of fairgrounds as soon as they purchase the equipment because, accord-ing to experts in the movie industry on our island, they will have to spend lots of dollars to make this project work.

There is no demand for the content that they will be showing; the cost of renting the movies are too high for the real projected turnout of viewers.

The grant is given based upon creating an attraction or return of visitors to pro-mote our hotels, bed-and-

breakfasts, and vacation rentals.

This pollution driven eyesore will do none of that, and as many who spoke at an Oct. 15 meeting in objec-tion of this, it does not rep-resent in any way what our islands stand for, nor what we want to project to the rest of the world.

Please spare us from the embarrassment. Grant the $25,000 to the fairgrounds but please don’t make them spend it on this disastrous, break-the-bank folly.

Both candidates should withdraw

Howard Rosenfeld and Mark Schwinge have declared themselves can-didates for the Public Health Hospital District Commission by showing up when a vacancy became available on the commis-sion.

Neither have a history of attending meetings where business of the commis-sion has been held since the beginning of health care business in this county.

The regular meetings have, from the beginning, been attended by persons interested in, and profes-sionally prepared to under-stand health care delivery by Peace Health, and the oversight of business by the commission.

Howard Rosenfeld and Mark Schwinge have now curiously appeared to fill the first vacancy on the commission.

Last week’s newspaper account of their interest in becoming a commission-er does not demonstrate the capabilities or under-

standing that we recognize necessary for such a seat. Candidates must under-stand the operation of a health system, be able to recognize components of health care, be capable of communicating effectively with the hospital organiza-tion, and, be able under-stand how to navigate and solve problems for the com-mission.

These two persons appar-ently do not understand the duties of the commission versus the hospital’s com-munity mission of specific health care delivery issues. Verbiage of their “concerns” does not constitute the mis-sion of the commission.

It would be appropriate for them to withdraw from consideration.

’By the People’; ‘Yes’ on Prop. 1

I am writing to urge vot-ers to support Proposition 1.

Approval of this proposi-tion simply removes a bar-rier to potential future citi-zen involvement in restruc-turing county districts. Removal of this obstacle would still require gathering the necessary signatures to place a measure on a future ballot to amend the charter.

If such a measure were undertaken between now and the next gubernatorial election in 2016, it would be necessary to gather about 1,600 signatures of registered county voters, a daunting task no one would undertake frivolously.

A recent letter oppos-ing Proposition 1 com-plains that voters would be “expected to study certain

changes to the Charter every year.” This statement is absurd.

The only time vot-ers would need to study a measure is if approximately 1,600 signatures were gath-ered once a year to actually qualify it for the ballot. The possibility of people going to this level of effort every year is impractical to the point of being impossible.

Another letter writer also from Lopez Island bemoans the action of a “disgrun-tled lame duck six-member County council” to change our current charter.

It should be noted that the vote was based on what the entire council saw as a structural flaw and was unanimous by the six mem-bers, three of whom serve as our current county council.

The essence of the Home Rule Charter is the right of citizens to influence the structure and outcomes of our government. This mea-sure will retain the ability of the people to keep the intended power granted

them with the adoption of Home Rule.

Proposition 1 is not about special interests or “end runs” or any other attempt to undermine our govern-ment; it is plainly and sim-ply about the people’s rights and freedom.

Please vote to approve Proposition 1.

Many thanks to the San Juan County Land Bank and the San Juan Preservation Trust for sponsoring the timely Conservation Easements seminar for law-yers and lay members of the community.

Nationally recognized for his expertise in this area, Seattle attorney Konrad Liegel did an outstanding job of covering the funda-mentals, drafting and ethi-cal considerations of creat-ing and administering con-

Editorial

A good time to step downThe Journal would like to thank Friday

Harbor Town Councilman Felix Menjivar for his service to Friday Harbor for the

past four years, and hopes he will continue to be involved in community activities as a private citi-zen and sheriff’s deputy.

With that said, we also suggest that it’s time for him to resign.

Menjivar did his part, and he deserves the good wishes of the community as he moves into the next phase of his public service career.

Councilman Menjivar has explained that his duties as a sheriff’s deputy have increased, and that he’s now spending time on all the ferry-served islands, requir-ing him to notify the town when he was unable most council meetings since early June. The council in every case excused his absence, and Menjivar received no money for the meetings he missed.

Although the absences up to now were probably not a terrible burden on anybody, going forward it’s important that every council member be fully involved in preparing the 2014 budget. The council will spend many hours reviewing and discussing town revenues and spending. The participation of the full council will be more important as the council works to finish the budget by year’s end.

For these reasons, the Journal respectfully asks Councilman Menjivar to consider resigning after the election if he expects not to be able to attend council meetings.

The election winner, either Farhad Ghatan or Matt Shildneck, can be appointed to fill the position for the remainder of the year, and deputy Menjivar will be able to fully devote his time to his job.

We think this might be the best resolution of the problem for the council, the town and Felix Menjivar.

I appreciate Steve Wehrly’s story on Initiative I-522 in the Oct. 15 issue of the Journal ("Battle looms over labels", pg. 1). It’s an important topic that affects us in many

ways and we need to be aware of these issues.To me, the most important issue in I-522 is the freedom

to make informed decisions about what we eat. The food we eat directly affects our health and well-being, as well as the health of the whole planet, and I want to know where it was grown or produced, how it was grown (whether it’s organic or conventional—that is, whether it contains pesticides and artificial fertilizers), and what’s in it.

That includes whether it’s genetically modified or con-tains genetically modified ingredients. I want to be able to make healthy informed decisions about what I put in my body; this is what I-522 would let us do.

Another important question, however, is safety. Steve asks whether people would buy food products labeled “partially produced with genetic engineering.” Me—if I could avoid it—I wouldn’t buy them. I don’t trust geneti-cally modified foods, and I don’t trust the companies that produce them (and are trying to suppress my right to know what I’m eating).

There is still tremendous disagreement about whether genetically modified foods are safe in animals and humans, and the jury isn’t in; we need a lot more well-designed unbi-ased research. A recent widely publicized study in France claimed that GMO feed caused birth defects and other severe abnormalities in rats, but the study was criticized for serious design problems and apparently can’t be relied on.

On the other hand, GMO foods have never been shown to be safe in humans (Monsanto’s web site explains that human studies are unnecessary and impractical) and appar-ently there are no long-term studies that show GMOs are safe in animals: the standard studies are 90 days long and the French researchers were the first to try to do a 2-year study.

I prefer to stay away from this laboratory-created food until it’s proven to be reasonably safe over the long run, and not be a guinea pig in a huge uncontrolled nationwide feeding experiment.

The other issue that seems important is the cost of labeling the GMO products. This is a serious consider-ation; I would hate to think that underprivileged families would suffer serious hard-ships because of I-522.

The truth would appear to be somewhere between what the two sides claim.

I’ve found two thought-ful online discussions of the cost issue that I think pres-

ent valid facts and arguments: “Won’t Cost a Dime? Average

Family Food Bill Would Rise $490 a Year Under I-522, Says Opposition Report” on the Washington State Wire web site, and: “In GMO Ads, Both Sides Make Mostly False Claims About I-522 Costs” on the Seattle Times web site, first pub-lished Oct. 1.

We do need to remember that the "No" side is supported by GMO producers and food manufacturers that are only looking after their own financial interests. All of their per-suasive arguments and beautifully crafted ads are motivated by the drive to protect their profits, not the welfare and well-being of consumers, and they’ll do whatever they can get away with to promote their interests. (If you haven’t seen this yet, google “GMA” and Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson to see the latest on the story of the Grocery Manufacturers of America trying to hide the identities of the big food producers that contributed to the "No" cam-paign. In California last year, these included Hershey’s, Kellogg’s, General Mills, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Smuckers’s, Nestle and Kraft, among others, who contributed millions to defeat Proposition 37 there. They garnered so much hatred as a result that they decided to try to hide behind the GMA this time.)

This is a complex topic. It’s really important to know the facts about this initiative and the issues involved so we can make an intelligent choice (just as it’s important to know what’s in our food!). Please do your research, think carefully about what matters to you, and vote.

their conflicting roles as members of the Planning Commission and as direc-tors of CSA.

Based upon the April 5 memo of Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord to the County Council, I call upon the three to voluntari-ly recuse themselves from all planning commission deliberations of changes to the CAO recently ordered by the Growth Management Hearings Board.

In his memo, Gaylord said: “Officers of CSA on the Planning Commission should remain vigilant and voluntarily disqualify them-selves from participating on matters which create an irreconcilable bias.”

The “matter” at hand is the reconsideration ordered by the GMHB. The “irrec-oncilable bias” results from the role of the three in

founding the CSA for pur-poses of gutting the CAO and in raising in excess of $100,000 for the CSA’s legal expenses, including the law-suit recently filed in supe-rior court over some of the same issues now before the commission.

For the three to claim there is no bias would exceed the bounds of cre-dulity.

In case the three refuse to voluntarily recuse them-selves, I request the county council to remove them from the planning commis-sion’s CAO deliberations based upon Gaylord’s above words, as well as based upon his reference in the same memo to Common Law Conflict of Interest (Smith v. Centralia, 55 Wash. 573, 104 Pac. 797 (109). Gaylord says “... one must consider whether this court-created doctrine would prohibit a particular vote or action.”

I strongly believe that it does.

Gaylord sent another memo on Oct. 16 to the chair of the planning com-mission saying that he still does “not find sufficient evi-dence of conflict of interest” in spite of the recent lawsuit.

In doing so, he has ignored his own words in his April 5 memo cited above. I urge Gaylord to update his April 5 memo accordingly.

If you agree that the three CSA board members have a conflict of interest and an irreconcilable bias that dis-qualifies them from CAO deliberations at the plan-ning commission, please let the county council know at [email protected].

Keep on course;‘No’ on Prop. 1

Currently, our charter requires an elected Charter Review Commission to

make recommendations to the voters for any changes to council districts and the number of council mem-bers.

Any recommendations from the Charter Review Commission are then approved or rejected by the voters.

Proposition 1, if approved by voters, would change that. Council districts and the number of council members could then change through the initiative pro-cess, as initiated by voters or the council, in any general election.

Our current charter rec-ognizes the importance of these significant changes to our local governance and requires a more delibera-tive process and a predict-able timeframe for consid-eration of these significant changes.

Please join us in voting “No” on Proposition 1.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Answers to today's puzzle on page 25

By Bill AppelSpecial to the Journal

Greater control by the people over county govern-ment is not what is really going on here.

This is not a “people’s movement.” This effort is largely driven by ex-politicians and ex-Freeholders and their immediate supporters to enable the breakup of the county into small districts.

The proposition before us has only one impact on the charter, and therefore that impact has to be its sole pur-pose: to permit redistrict-ing by initiative petition. Our current charter permits redistricting only by way of proposition submitted to the voters by a Charter Review Commission. It is only redis-tricting that is at issue.

Why does the Charter deny us the right to redistrict by public initiative? The answer is clear from a simple com-parison of the first step in each procedure:

Charter Review Commission: Freely elected represen-tatives from throughout the county meet in open public session, invite comment and criticism, and after debate con-sidering the effectiveness of county government, propose either a single county voting district (as the recent Charter Review Commission did) or carefully designs separate voting districts after considering the needs and natures of interest groups and communities, and in any event legal review by the county prosecutor

Public Initiative: A public initiative is not really public. It is privately framed by an individual or small group with its own agenda, whatever it is. There is no initial public disclosure of its initiators or backers. Although in this case nominally submitted by the previous council, the current proposition is a good example of initiation by this process

because two sets of proposals were first submitted to the council by a private group using a computer whose meta-data reveals its owner as a private individual. One such sub-mission to the council identified the five proposed districts without any opportunity to the entire county, every voter in which would be impacted.

Is this “greater control by the people over county govern-ment.” Well, yes it is, if you mean control by some people. Those unelected few who draft an initiative petition would control the choice presented to the voters simply by elimi-nation of public discussion of alternatives.

Don’t be misled into thinking that Charter Review Commissions are too few and too far in the future. Contrary to the Pro Statement in the Voter’s Pamphlet, that Charter Review Commissions can only be held every 10 years, the next one is only seven years away, and thereafter can be called as often as every other year. The writers of the Pro Statement did not read Section 9.20 of the charter carefully. There has been no public correction.

[Section 9.20 - Election Procedures and Period of Office(1) The County Council shall cause an election of a CRC

in 2020 and at least every ten (10) years thereafter provided that the CRC election is held in an even numbered year.

The proposition before us is designed solely to enable privately planned propositions to be presented to you on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. Small groups can propose ger-rymandering leading to an annual war of voting district readjustment. This is not democracy, and it impairs the fair apportionment of freedom.

To preserve your freedom against private invasion and retain your right to vote county-wide, reject Proposition 1.

! WARNING


San Juan Community Theatre is going all the way back to the beginning for its upcoming fall play.

As part of the its 25th anniversary celebra-tion, the theatre will resurrect a performance from its very first season, in 1989, and breathe new life into Jane Martin’s “Talking With…”, a provocative and imaginative collection of 11 ten-minute monologues performed by an all-female cast.

Led by artistic director Susan Williams, who, as it so happens, was a featured perform-er in the theatre’s 1989 production, the play stars some of the island’s most accomplished actresses, including Julie Greene, who also, like Williams, starred in the original performance.

“It feels great to revisit this thought-provok-ing production,” Williams said. “It shares a very special part of our history, with new actresses and new patrons.”

Taken together the monologues cover a wide spectrum of lives, ages and individual circumstances; from snake handler to disen-chanted and disgruntled rodeo cowgirl, from an aspiring young actress to a baton twirler, to a woman covered by tattoos and another on a tight-rope walk on the edge of reality. Sometimes eccentric, sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, each performance strikes an emotional chord that reverberates long after the stage lights fade to black.

The selection of “Talking With…” conjures up a mystery of its own, as the identity of Jane Martin remains a matter of only speculation, in spite of a list of ten dramatic works credited to the unknown playwright, including “Keely and Du”, a 1994 Pulitzer Prize nominee. Many

sources speculate that Martin is the pen-name of Jon Jory, Martin’s spokesperson and for-mer artistic director of the Actors Theatre of Louisville. Jory, who has directed premiers of Martin’s shows, has denied that he and the playwright are one and the same.

Intrigue about the playwright aside, the cast of the theatre’s 2013 production of “Talking With…” features Patti Bair (Clear Glass Marble), Joy Van Camp (Scraps), Therese Finn (French Fries), Penelope Haskew (Rodeo), Shannon Kelley (Dragons), Julie Laidlaw (Handler), Fiona Small (Audition), Kate Small (Twirler), Maureen See (Lamps), and Greene (15 Minutes), and Williams (Marks).

To create a more intimate, up-close setting, the Whittier stage has been reshaped and extended into the audience, which will also reduce the theatre seating capacity by more than half (120) for each showing of the four performance-only production. The play runs Oct. 24-27. Tickets are $17 adults, $8 student reserved and $5 student RUSH at the door. Purchase tickets at SJCT Box Office, Tuesday-Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., or online, www.sjctheatre.org.

The theatre’s Business Partners for “Talking With…” are Coho Restaurant and Robin’s Nest.

“Talking with…”

With Halloween creepin’ up just around the corner, be sure to mark your calendar for not just one, but two spine-tingling pre-holiday events that you won’t want to miss—or, maybe you do?

The spooky legends and lore of Friday Harbor will be unveiled beginning Saturday, Oct. 26, with the next installment of San Juan Island Trails Committee’s Know Your Island Walk series.

With jump-off point at Memorial Park, at 1 p.m., genealogoly researcher Robin Jacobson will team up with Town of Friday Harbor historic preservation coordinator Sandy Strehlou to lead a walking tour of a host of buildings and sites where, according to local lore, episodes of unexplained phenomenon took the breath away of islanders

of the past, and that may still occur from time to time today: look through a window and into a cen-tury old scandal which makes that spot unworldly active today; hear about a little girl ghost, her little dog ghost and a visiting 19th century gentleman named Walter who some claim has yet to check out of the guest room of his inn; find a vanishing lady in the black duster and how identity is known.

The 3-hour spooky stroll, entitled “Ghosts Among Us!”, covers no more than 2 miles of eas-ily negotiable terrain, come rain or shine.

And there’s more. The day before Halloween, Wednesday, Oct.

30, San Juan Island Library will host an unearthly event of its own, also entitled “Ghosts Among Us!”, beginning at 7 p.m.

Join friends, neighbors and visitors around the fireside as they share stories, local folklore and family histories about the island’s more myste-rious and unexplained occurences and events (program may not be advisable for all ages).

Journal file artFriday Harbor’s spirits of the past come alive in two pre-Halloween events, beginning Saturday, with a tour of the town’s supposedly haunted sites, and Wednesday, Oct. 30, as islanders gather at the library to share spooky stories, local legends and other-wordly lore.

Spirits featured in pre-Halloween walk & talkIsland’s spooky side revealed with double dose of pre-Halloween events


It’s mid-morning in mid-autumn and the skies over Friday Harbor are crystal clear. But out in the distance a thick bank of clouds stretches low across the horizon

and the phones lines are abuzz in the headquarters of Island Air. The low ceiling has grounded flights elsewhere in the islands and people who had hoped for a quick hop from here to there are calling Island Air to see if Jackie Hamilton might be able to step in and get them to where they want to go.

It’s not how Hamilton, owner, president and director of operations of Island Air, expected to start off the day, but that’s pretty much par for the course.

“The schedule you have when you show up in the morning is almost always completely different from what it turns out to be when you leave for the day,” says Hamilton, who started the San Juan Island-based chartered air carrier from scratch 21 years ago. “You have to be adaptable.”

An ability to adapt has helped Hamilton to turn a fledgling business into a solid and successful aviation company over the past two decades. She’s learned a few other helpful hints along the way. Like it helps if your endeavor involves something you truly love. But don’t expect that that will make it any easier, so be prepared to give it all you got.

“If you’re looking to give it a minimum amount of effort or a minimum amount of work, it won’t fly,” she said.

You might say that Jackie Hamilton was born to fly. The daughter of a commercial airline pilot, she got bit early by the flight bug,

Jill Blankenship has always enjoyed a lot of diversity in her profession. When she � rst

moved to Orcas Island, WA in 1998 she earned her living as a real estate agent and also in retail management, dependent on the season. With Orcas Island being such a tourist destination she noticed the employment trends in the islands re� ect this dependency. It was during a dinner that a friend suggested the idea of a call center and the idea took root. Many hours of learning combined with help from the SBA and her family, the call center was born. Opening Frontline Call Center and the second center on San Juan last year proved Frontline to be a viable business opportunity that could meet the need for steady employment in our rural area with severe location challenges. It also provided the perk of being an environmentally low impact business.

Continuing to build on the success of Frontline Call Center Jill opened two new business divisions this year. She partnered with inContact, the cloud based contact center platform used in her call center as a reseller to businesses with smaller seating needs creating Frontline Services. The � exibility to not only provide call center services but to also enable other businesses to e� ciently run their own call centers or help desks while providing solid advisement and set up for them has been both challenging and rewarding.

Following quickly on the heels of the Frontline Services launch was the My Easy Billing platform. It o� ers clients an easy way to pay and consultants an easy way to charge clients on a per call or per minute basis for consultation provided via phone or chat in real time.

Not only has this year brought growth it has also brought recognition for services provided. Jill’s biggest success came this year when she was noti� ed that she won WA State’s Small Business Person of the Year award. To be recognized out of all the small businesses in our state, as both a women and a person was a great honor. Telecommunications is an aggressive industry the recognition not only for the applications and services she provides but also for the leadership and innovation side was a great success both personal and business wise. In addition this past week she was also nominated as a � nalist at the MOJO awards in Las Vegas at the ICUC Industry Convention. She is also a � nalist in the upcoming international Stevie Awards as Female Entrepreneur of the Year.

When asked what she thought of the success this year has brought Jill responded with, “I don’t think success can be de� ned in a single measurable moment. Looking back over the year there were so many smaller moments that came together this year in a big way creating a gradually experienced sense of ful� llment overall. I also feel that when work is rewarded with recognition it is important to give back in equal or greater measure. I will continue to grow and support our local non-pro� t, Orcas Angels to bring that success full circle and encourage my friends, peers and neighbors to do the same as they grow and succeed in their � elds.”

1993. She fell in love with the islands and moved here permanently in 1996. She worked at Islanders Bank close to � ve years before beginning her career at Islanders Insurance in early July. She is always enjoying life, love and laugh-ter with her husband, Don.

Mary Wade moved to San Juan Is-land in 1977 with husband Dick.

Debbie Dardanelli is in business seven days a week. Her store is open seven days and her cellphone is always on

to talk to real estate buyers. She never stops selling.Sure, she wants to make money. But she only makes

money if she sells something. Houses and dresses qualify as something to sell, but she’d probably be good at selling cars or airplanes, too.

But even just selling something and making money is not her goal. “My goal in clothing and in real estate,” she said, “is to make people happy, to make them satisfied with what they buy and feel good about doing business with me.”

That may be why she has 790 accounts who bring clothes for resale to “Girlfriends,” her consignment shop a few feet up Nichols St. from the Brickworks. And many of them buy from her, too.

“If I like someone’s style, I tell them I want their clothes,” she laughs. And she also tells them, “If you wouldn’t buy it, I won’t sell it.” Which presumably means that some gifts from husbands and regretted purchases don’t make the grade.

Her first job, and the first business she owned, was “Deju Fashions” in Alaska, a clothing store selling imported goods she opened in 1978. She liked selling clothes, so she opened a used clothing store in Friday Harbor in 1991, the same year she married Pete, her husband. She sold that store a dozen years ago and soon after joined Windermere Real Estate because, she says, “I wanted a career for getting older.”

In March of 2012, when the “perfect location” opened up at 210 Nichols St. (the former Gallery San Juan), she didn’t hesitate getting back into the clothing business. Her

friends started bringing things by for her to appraise, which she does by checking prices on the internet and by “asking people what they paid.”

Girlfriends now brings in about 200 items per week (in September, she took in 909 items), splits proceeds 50/50 with the consignor, reduces the price by half after

Meghann moved to the island in 2004, after spending 2 years in Australia. She is a native of Amity, OR. With the original intention of staying on island for the summer, she found that she not only loved the island, but also was introduced to her future husband. Since coming here, she started work on the island in a bakery position, and 6 years ago started

at Browne’s as a cashier. She has since worked in various departments, last being the head of the contractors’ desk.

The knowledge she gained while participating in Homes for Islanders with her husband Michael, has helped her at Browne’s with her knowledge of the building trades. Meghann is excited for the new adventures ahead of her, and the continued customer service she provides at Browne’s.

learned to fly in the San Juans after college, followed in her father’s footsteps for a time, looking to land a job as a pilot with the airlines, and then decided to strike out on her own, hoping that creating a company offering chartered flights would enable her to live and work in the place that she knew she wanted to call home, the San Juan Islands.

She started small, with just a single aircraft, a Cessna 172, and threw everything she had into it.

“It was just me for the first four years,” she said.

By her fifth year at the helm, Island Air appeared stable enough that Hamilton began hiring other pilots, and the business took off.

Today, Island Air operates a fleet of five planes, employs eight pilots, boasts an award-winning safety record, pro-vides fixed-wing air ambulance service in partnership with San Juan EMS, and though it remains a family run business (Hamilton’s husband, Will, is a significant part of the opera-tion, “He’s instrumental in every way. He’s kind of my right arm.”), it is the largest air carrier in the U.S. founded and built by a woman.

While there may be a bit more time nowadays to indulge in a hobby or two, like gardening and horseback riding, Hamilton clearly recalls what it takes to weather the ups and downs, and lessons learned from the day-to-day battle of getting a small business off the ground.

“I think it really boils down to being a personality that’s tenacious, you just keep doing it,” she said. “It sounds like a cliche, but it helps to love what you do.”

Meet Amy Saxe, Member Services Supervisor

Amy came to OPALCO in 2010 with more than 20 years experience in the finance world, applying financial and project management skills to develop and implement creative solutions in process efficiency, quality management and customer service. She earned her B.S. in Business at Indiana University and is an enthusiastic lifelong learner. “I’m happiest when I’m in a position to learn something new. At OPALCO, it is all about energy.”

After serving in top management positions for Washington Mutual and JP Morgan Chase in Seattle and South Carolina,

Amy adjusted quickly to island life and loves the switch to the cooperative model of business. Her business philosophy – co-op or corporation – is the same: she believes in the power of people working together to achieve a common goal. At OPALCO, that translates to education and energy conservation.

And, to that end, Amy will be transitioning into a new position by year end: adding Energy Services Manager to her role. She looks forward to the opportunity to continue to improve member outreach and program awareness, enhance self-service tools, and educate members about the importance of conservation.

Volunteerism is another strong asset that Amy brings to OPALCO. In addition to her own community service with Friends of Moran and Salmonberry School, Amy created and coordinates OPALCO employee work parties in the community. Give her a call if you have a need our co-op volunteer team can help you meet!

Amy considers herself a homebody – but applies the same work ethic to her play time. She always has multiple projects going on at once: restoring furniture, knitting gifts, taking care of her chickens, and spending lots of time with her daughter, whom she partially homeschools. Together, they are learning to play the ukulele, enjoy arts and crafts projects and are currently studying the history of solar power.

90 days, and later donates most unsold goods to Soroptimists. Dardanelli will return the item to the consignor if asked when the

item comes in, and she’ll always call if the sales price is more than $100.She tries to maintain a balance of classic and contemporary clothes for both men and women, although 90 per-cent of her sales are wom-en’s clothes, shoes, hand-bags and jewelry.

Because she has 800 cli-ents that bring her things, she can be choosy - first for quality, second for brand name - names like Donald Pliner shoes, Anne Fleischer vintage ribbon dresses, Johnny Was dresses, even a Chanel couture suit. A subspecialty is about 500 name-brand designer hand-bags. Many items come in unused, with original tags; most items sell for less than half of the original price.

She’s still active every day as a real estate agent with Windermere. “Real estate is coming back,” she says, “I’m still calling real estate clients and clothing accounts, tell-ing them about new prop-erties on the market or new clothing acquisitions they might want to buy.” Because she knows her customers, she knows styles and sizes that suit them.

Local people are her main market for clothing; out-of-towners buy most of the houses, she says, but she’s always ready to sell clothing to tourists or houses to locals.

Although she modeled two hats at once for a photo, and although she moves seamlessly between careers, Debbie Dardanelli really wears only one hat: busi-nesswoman.

Experience � e new smoo� ! Sugar Bare Studio is located inside of Island Roots Salon on the corner of Spring St. and Caines.


While her line of work is clearly about cars and car repair, Gina Creone knows it takes an emphasis on

communication and customer service to keep the enter-prise running smoothly each and every day.

So, for a woman who envisioned someday working in a profession where she would be of help to people—one with the gift of gab and a masters degree in social work as well— being co-owner of the Carx Doctor and point-person for customer relations has turned out to be a perfect match.

“You know, when you’re in college they like to tell you to find a job doing what you like to do,” said Creone, guru of scheduling for the automotive maintenance and repair enterprise. “I like people, and I like helping people. It’s so important to me that people understand what’s involved and what they’re paying for.”

Investment in a home-based business appears to have paid off for the Creones, Gina and husband Lauren, who founded the company shortly after relocating from New York City to Friday Harbor in spring 2004. The couple will celebrate 10 years in business together this coming year.

“You have to work at it every single day,” Gina insists.

They came to join other members of the family, who purchased several of the stores sold by the State of Washington last year. Islander Kathleen Sheffer, at left, was an employee of the State Liquor store and continued on with the Gills in making the transition smooth.

Sheffer is the wife of Ray Sheffer, Jr., who is son of the late Sheriff Ray Sheffer. Kathleen has a son, Ray Sheffer, III, who attended public school on San Juan Island and he now is a wildlife photographer.

Margie Smith, Cabinet maker

by Victoria Compton, eDC directorSpecial to the Journal

As the most recent US Census shows, women still earn only

77 cents for every dollar that men earn. While some of that is attribut-able to the fact that women are often employed in lower-wage industries, when all variables are controlled for (hours worked, college major, employ-ment sector), women still earn nearly 10 percent less than men in identical positions.

With statistics like that, it’s easy to see why women are heading to the business license office in droves. And for the past 20 years, women have been doing just that: locally and nationally, they’ve been starting businesses at a much higher rate than men.

Nationally, women-run businesses will create over half of the 10 mil-lion new small business jobs expected in the next 5 years. In comparison, by late-Great-recession only about 16 percent of jobs were created by wom-en-owned businesses in the US.

Women entrepreneurs learned a lot during this past recession. Some of the key business strategies that women

business own-ers employed to weather those tough times:

n Using social media as a business tool. Women were already by far the majority of social media site users. In fact, there’s been a 50% increase in social media marketing by women-owned busi-nesses during the past three years.

n To weather the recession, women entrepreneurs tended to reduce the number of hours worked by their employees instead of laying them off, which meant that when the economy picked up, they didn’t have to start from scratch with a new workforce.

n During the recession, 40 percent of women-owned businesses increased their involvement with civic, social and many women entrepreneurs learned early-on how important this form of customer communication can be. And school activities, which fostered their businesses, increased exposure for themselves as community entre-preneurs, and created value for their communities.

Thinking about starting a business or taking your business to the next

level as a woman entrepreneur? Here are some tips:

n Ask for help! I’m putting that in full caps, because so many women entrepreneurs won’t ask for help. Each day’s baby – because they don’t know whom to ask, because they don’t want to be a bother, or because they’re just too busy running their businesses to stop to ask. I’m here to tell you that there’s help out there for you – people who really want to see you thrive and succeed. Call me. Or ask a successful woman entrepreneur for insight. Or go to a Soroptimist meeting – the collective entrepre-neurship knowledge there is tremen-dous.

n You need to have a marketing plan to succeed in business. If you have one but haven’t looked at it in a while (over a year), you need to rethink it – marketing platforms are changing at a phenomenal rate (done anything on Vine lately?).

n Write down your dream. Then take one tiny step every single day to realize that dream. The first step can be something as simple as Googling business loans created specifically for women-owned small businesses.

Right now is a great time for women to start businesses – loan rates are low and the economy is picking up. Few events are as exciting as starting a busi-ness, and few occupations more fulfill-ing than piloting your own financial ship through the ocean of life.

Women’s liberation today? For many it starts with owning your own businessFlexibility is key; six lessons learned from the ‘Great Recession’

MeetCheyenne MauldinA friendly face for 25 years

Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, Cheyenne Mauldin has been a resident of the San Juan islands for over 25 years. She joined the Friday Harbor Drug Store as Pharmacy Technician in April 2007.Two sons and a daughter and a grandson all have or are attending schools in FridayHarbor. Cheyenne’s latest (and favorite) hobby is sea diving. She is looking forward to a vacation in the Caribbean near Puerto Rico, soon to practice her new found skill.Asked what she liked most about the San Juan Islands, she replied quickly: “Because it’s a small community and we help each other.”

That’s what Laura Flaum, co-owner of the Spring Street General Store and Deli answered when asked what she and co-owner David Flaum think about San Juan Island after their second year in their popular location in downtown Friday Harbor. Small wonder that they have almost doubled in size opening their deli next door, complementing the extensive beer

and wine selections offered in the General Store. Both entities have since added catering to their

growth list. Many local events have been catered by them including the � rst annual Film Festival along with functions for PIMC, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary and Lion’s Club. They give credit to the wonderful, local community for their support.

Paw Spa: sharing a passion for petsJournal photo / Roxanne Angel

“But it’s more successful than we ever thought it would be.”

It didn’t come easy. They worked hard, worked together, scrimped and saved, and passed on purchases deemed non-essential, a rough com-promise for a woman with a thing for handbags.

“It’s been kind of tough, I’m a shop-per,” Gina said, “but I just had to cut it off.”

They worked out a strategy for the business and putting down roots in Friday Harbor as well, buying the cheapest house in the neighbor-hood, fixing it up mostly themselves, expanding the business slowly, in stag-es, careful not to overextend. They fig-ured out a formula that capitalizes on their individual strengths and skills.

Collaboration and respect for what each other brings to table make the business hum.

“We kind of balance each other out a bit,” she said.

Born and raised in Queens, Gina, 35, a self-professed “people person” prides herself on being able to explain the mechanics of automobiles in a way that just about anyone can understand. It’s important that people know, she said, why changing fluids is important, not just that it’s needed.

“The more you know about your car the happier we are,” she said.

The couple first met in New York City. While attending graduate school, Gina was working at a convenience store that shared space with an auto-motive repair shop that Lauren was managing at the time. A native of Port Orchard, Lauren spent 15 years in New York City training and working in the auto repair industry after living

and working in Friday Harbor for a spell as a young adult. He’s got 22 ASE certifications to his credit.

“He really cares about the cars,” Gina said.

While visiting relatives in Port Orchard in 2003, the couple spent a few days on San Juan Island, long enough to convince Gina that Friday Harbor would be their new home. She recalls communicating clearly to her husband what his task would be.

“I told him you’d better get busy fig-uring out a way to get us to be able to move there,” she chuckles. “And when we got here, we just started working.”

And they’ve been working together, and working well, and enjoying each other’s company while building a busi-ness from the ground up ever since.

“We’re super proud of the work we do,” Gina said. “We want people to be educated about their cars and we want their cars to keep going.”

Living in San Juan County is a fabulous privilege and a gift that comes with unique challenges – mainly transportation. When islanders fall critically ill and

need intensive medical care accessible only by boat, there’s a network of support to ease the burden.

“If you gotta be sick, this is the place to be sick,” laughs San Juan resident and cancer patient Cathy Cavanaugh, cit-ing enormous community support in the islands. “It’s huge when you’ve got positive support. They’ve got statistics: your recovery rate is better, your cure rate is better. I can certainly understand that.”

San Juan-based servicesThe recent opening of the Peace Island Medical Center

(http://www.peacehealth.org/peace-island/services/cancer-center/Pages/Default.aspx) cancer treatment center has revolutionized cancer treatment for county residents, espe-cially San Juan residents. The center offers oncologists, chemotherapy treatments, care for central lines, lab work, nutrition support and pharmacy services. Call the cancer center at 378-1739.

“It’s very patient-centered,” said Cavanaugh, who is receiving care there. “I’ve felt very well taken care of.”

Peace Island’s Bridge Assistance program offers one-time write-offs of up to 100 percent of expenses incurred by uninsured or under insured patients in need, but represen-tatives expect the need to drop drastically with the advent of Obamacare in 2014.

Peace Island can arrange free taxi rides for patients between the ferry and the hospital through the Round Towner taxi service.

Oncology nurse Dawn Alger functions as a single point of contact for patients trying to navigate a sometimes bewil-dering schedule of appointments, lab tests and diagnostic scans.

“I’m kind of their GPS system,” said Alger, who follows up with patients at home. “They can contact me for every-thing.”

For treatments needed outside Peace Island, the Soroptimists International of Friday Harbor coordinate a Cancer Treatment Transportation Project (http://www.sifri.org/community-projects/cancer-treatment-transportation-project-2/), providing ferry tickets and transportation by car to medical appointments. They also coordinate with the San Juan Eagles to provide flights when needed. For more information, contact Julie Hanks at (360) 317-5086 or email [email protected].

San Juan Eagles pilot and coordinator Vicky Thalacker started a nonprofit program to fly cancer patients in 2001 with the support of 16 other pilots. The Eagles have provided an average of 200 flights annually to Skagit, Anacortes and Bellingham, and can also arrange free rental vehicles from the Skagit airport. Donations defray the cost of fuel. For more information, contact Vicky Thalacker at 378-4578.

Orcas-based servicesOrcas Island Mercy Flights (376-3201 or 317-4086) has

about nine pilots ready and willing to fly cancer patients to medical appointments, reducing hours-long ferry and vehicle treks to just minutes.

“Technically we have a 25-mile radius [for flights],” said coordinator Audrey Wells. “It gets bent.” While Seattle is a bit out of range, pilots fly patients to radiation and chemo treatments in Friday Harbor, Bellingham, Mt. Vernon and Anacortes. Fuel costs for each flight run from $35 to $50, and half can be reimbursed to the pilot from a fuel fund created by donations.

There is no financial information required to participate in the program. Wells said the Friday Harbor program has also pitched in to fly Orcas residents in the past.

“If any pilot is interested in becoming a Mercy Pilot, it would be one of the most rewarding things they can do,” said Wells.

The Orcas Cancer Support Group led by Bogdan and Carol Kulminski meets on the second Thursday of each month in the fireside room of Orcas Island Community Church from 5 to 6 p.m.

“Everybody’s welcome,” says Carol, including caretakers and family members of cancer patients. She said attendees often linger to continue forging connections long after the official meeting has ended. Call 376-4198.

Lahari (http://laharionorcas.org) supports in-home hos-pice care through grants. Recipients often include cancer patients. For information, call 1-888-685-1475.

Lahari also funds free caregiver classes taught every quar-ter by Sally Coffin, Lahari board secretary.

“Our mission is to assist the aging population to live safely in their homes for as long as they want to,” said Coffin.

While Hearts and Hands is not cancer-specific, its trained volunteers provide practical and emotional support for 1-2 hours per week to assist isolated, ill, frail, elderly or disabled adults to maintain independence and improve their quality of life. The Orcas Senior Center also provides some respite care, mobility equipment and other forms of assistance.

Lopez-based servicesLopez Island Hospice and Home Support (http://www.

lihhs.org/) is an all-volunteer organization offering free ser-vices including grief support and a caregiver support group, as well as medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers and shower benches available for loan. For information, call 468-4446 or email [email protected].

San Juan County Health and Community Services does not currently have funding for any specific cancer support services, but sometimes patients under 18 can be helped by the county’s Children with Special Health Care Needs program man-aged by Susan Leff. The pro-gram mainly helps families to access needed care and

with care coordination, said Leff. Call 378-4474.Residents of smaller islands are encouraged to contact

the organizations listed above for assistance. For example, we were unable to discover any support systems based spe-cifically on Shaw, but many services offered by the larger islands are accessible by Shaw residents as well. Many of the organizations work together to help county residents receive the help they need.

All of the nonprofits listed above rely on fundraisers and donations to continue providing these services to cancer patients, and donations are always welcome.

Notice of Request for Proposal - Desktop Computer SystemsSan Juan County, Washington, under the provisions of RCW 39.04.270, is seeking a

qualified vendor or vendors to engage in negotiation for the purchase of desktop/laptop computer systems.

The County annually replaces a number of obsolete desktop, and laptop computers along with peripheral equipment including monitors and printers.

In 2014 the County desires to replace approximately 20 desktop and 20 laptop com-puters, along with docking stations, keyboards and approximately 30 computer monitors. The exact number and mix of systems will depend on the per system prices quoted on the individual systems. At minimum, all computers must be capable of running standard business software – including the most recent versions of the Microsoft Windows operat-ing system and Microsoft Office.

Desktop Systems will be bought in two basic configuration: A business system for standard office work, and enhanced systems for users requiring more memory, faster disk access and more advanced graphics capabilities. The enhanced systems will be used primarily by programmers, engineers (using CAD systems), and employees who frequently access GIS mapping files and data.

Laptop systems will be purchased, using the same two performance configurations, for both desktop and field use by employees who need a portable system. Desktop docking stations will be required for all laptop systems. In addition to performance, ma-jor considerations in selecting laptops include durability, weight and battery life. (Ideally more than five hours of battery life, weighing less than five pounds including battery). A small number of fully ruggedized laptop systems will also be purchased.

Monitors, for the most part, will be 22-23” wide screen HD or HD+ flat panels, including approximately 10 touch screen monitors (depending on price). Touch screen monitors must be adjustable to enable ergonomic positioning in relation to the computer keyboard.

Further information and examples of suitable configurations is available for download at: http://sanjuanco.com/IT-ID/Equipment2013

Interested Vendors should email contact information, proposed system specifications and quotes to: Stan Matthews, IT/IS Manager, San Juan County, WA. email: [email protected]. Phone: 360-370-7405. Deadline: Close of business November 5, 2013.

Fight of a lifetime: allies await in battle against cancer

FH toppled by Mt. Baker; 50-7

Senior C.J. Woods sliced through the fog, hauled in a pass from quarterback and scampered 30-plus yards for a touchdown, as Friday Harbor scored on their very first possession of the sec-ond half.

But the Wolverines, trail-ing 35-7 at the time, still

were playing uphill, and it would prove their only touchdown of the game against a top-ten ranked Mount Baker team, which played the spoiler role at the Friday Harbor High School Homecoming game, Friday, Oct. 18, staging a 50-7 vic-tory on the Wolverines home field.

Friday Harbor had little success in slowing down the Mountaineers’ (6-1) high-octane rushing attack, and found little momentum of their own on the offen-sive end. With the loss, the Wolverines fell one notch below the 500 mark, at 3-4.

They face Nooksack Valley on the road, Friday (kick off is 6 p.m.), and host Lynden Christian on Halloween night, Oct. 31, in the final game of the regular season. Kick off is 7 p.m.

Hills, Xu claim doubles victory

Sean Hills and Tiger Xu rallied to net a three-set vic-tory, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2, in the opening round of doubles play Oct. 15 on the road at South Whidbey. The Friday Harbor duo fell in three sets, taking the second set 6-3, to Falcons top doubles team in the next round.

In singles competition, Bruce Yao was ousted in straight sets in the open-ing round. With the dou-bles win, Hills netted his fourth victory in doubles and singles combined for the year.

Soccer team nets five straight wins

On the heels of five con-secutive victories, including a 3-1 win Oct. 14 at La Conner, the Friday Harbor girls soccer fell 3-1 Saturday, Oct. 19, at Blaine, a regional 1A conference rival.

The Wolverines (7-5) tallied 25 goals in their 5-game win streak, with 15 against Orcas and Concrete combined. Friday Harbor grabbed sole possession of first place in the league standings with the win over La Conner.

A man, monster, and the madness

National Theatre Live’s 2011 broadcast of Frankenstein returns as part of the National Theatre’s 50th anniversary celebra-tion.

Frankenstein enjoyed a sell-out run at the National Theatre, winning multiple awards, including the 2012 Olivier Award for Best Actor for Benedict Cumberbatch

and Jonny Lee Miller.The broadcast will be

streamed-live in HD, Nov. 1, at San Juan Community Theatre, 7 p.m.; tickets are: $20 adults ($18 members), $10 students.

Based on the novel by Mary Shelley, Oscar-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire) directs a sen-sational production with Benedict Cumberbatch (Star Trek: Into Darkness, BBC’s Sherlock) as Victor Frankenstein and Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting) alternating roles as Victor Frankenstein and his cre-ation.

Childlike in his inno-cence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewil-dered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker.

Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increas-ingly desperate and venge-ful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal in this thrilling, disturbing classic gothic tale.

For info, tickets, 378-3210, www.sjctheatre.org

Macbeth in HD; starring Branagh

National Theatre Live will broadcast Manchester International Festival’s pro-duction of Macbeth, fea-turing Kenneth Branagh, in his first Shakespeare per-formance in over a decade as Macbeth, and Alex Kingston (Doctor Who, ER) as Lady Macbeth.

The broadcast will be streamed-live in HD, Nov. 4, at the Community Theatre, 7 p.m.; tickets: $20 adults ($18 members), $10 students.

Wolverines bounce Blaine in three

Journal photo / Scott RasmussenFriday Harbor’s Allie Galt stretches high to block a shot by the Vikings Bella Nigretto in the Wolverines Oct. 8 win over Orcas.

FH tallies 3rd straight; improves to 9-1 By Scott rasmussenJournal editor

With one starter returning and one of the youngest ros-ters ever, Travis Majer wasn't quite sure what to expect.

As it turns out, if a won-loss record is any measure, the 2013 Friday Harbor volleyball team has proven to be one of the best.

The Wolverines bagged victory No. 3 in a row and ninth of the season with a sweep on the road Saturday, Oct. 19, over Blaine. With the win, Friday Harbor claimed its third victory of the year over a 1A regional rival, clinched no worse than a No. 3 seed in the opening round of post-season play, and improved to 9-1 on the season. That’s right, nine wins, one loss.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Majer said of that heady won-loss mark. The team suffered its only loss at Nooksack Valley.

Though not always dominant, the team has clawed out a win even when it hasn’t been on the top of its game. Against Blaine, they fired on all cylinders.

“It’s probably the best match we played all year,” said Majer, now in his ninth year at the helm. “We went through a bit of a rough patch for a while but I think they’re really starting to gel.”

Still, the roughest is yet to come. With La Conner (11-0) and Lynden Christian (9-1) wait-

ing in the wings, Friday Harbor began its toughest four-game stretch of the year Tuesday, Oct. 22, in a showdown at home against La Conner, and with first-place in the Northwest 1A/2B League standing up for grabs

Next:Following La Conner, the Wolverines host Shoreline

Christian Thursday (4:30 p.m.), Lynden Christian Saturday (1 p.m.), and finish the regular season on the road at Darrington, Oct. 28.
