Quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Peyton Manning share a handshake following an earlier meeting.

No experience needed

Does Manning hold the edge, or will youth prevail in showdown

By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — Even for Pete Carroll, a coach with vast experience, not to mention the fame, fortune and clout to get into just about any big event he chooses, this weekend’s Super Bowl will be a first.

Sometime back in his first go-around in the NFL, Carroll decided he wouldn’t go to the Super Bowl as a spectator; John Boyle instead, he would wait until he earned a trip.

“Never,” Carroll said when asked if he had attended the NFL’s biggest game. “I really had the

thought a long time ago that I’m not going until we’re playing in it. Fortunately, we’re finally going.”

Just as it will be for Carroll, Super Bowl XLVIII will be a new experience for Seattle’s players.

Barring a surprise last-minute roster move, the Seahawks will become the first team since the 1990 Buffalo Bills to play in the Super Bowl without a single player on its roster who has past experience in the big game. With an average age of 26.4 the Seahawks are the second-youngest Super Bowl team in history, just a bit older than the 1971 Dolphins, who lost to Dallas.

So the obvious question is, does experience matter? Does the fact that Denver quarterback Peyton Manning is playing in his third Super Bowl while Russell Wilson is in his first mean anything?

Or does it simply mean Manning is older and was on some good teams in the past?

Seahawks players don’t really know for sure, but they’re approaching the week as if nothing is different.

Lopez Island residents, upset about EA-18 “Growler” jet noise from planes at Naval Air Station Whidbey, will meet with Whidbey Island activists on Feb. 12 to discuss the noise issue and what might be done about it.

Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve for Healthy, Safe and Peaceful Environment will be telling Lopez residents that COER is shifting its focus from the Outlying Field near Coupeville, which COER wants closed, to larger questions of basing the EA-18 at NAS Whidbey and conducting low-level “touchand-go” training exercises at either Ault Field at NAS Whidbey near Oak Harbor or OLF Coupeville.

In a Jan. 14 press release, COER President Michael Monson announced that the organization is now seeking removal of the jets from Whidbey Island, not just stopping further use of OLF Coupeville for Navy “touch and go” carrier landing exercises.

For 2013, the Navy estimated it would conduct more than 31,000 “closed pattern” training operations at Ault Field and OLF Coupeville, including 5,300 operations between 11 p.m. and

Fire strikes Skottowe Lane sunroom Firefighters prevented the majority of a home from going up in flames after heat from a fireplace ignited the walls of a sunroom in a home on San Juan Island’s Skottowe Lane late Saturday night.

San Juan Island Fire Department was dispatched to the fire at about 9 p.m., and gained an upper-hand in containing the fire within the sunroom about 15 minutes after arriving at the scene, Chief Steve Marler said. A neighbor doused the fire with a garden hose that helped prevent the fire from spreading to the rest of the one-story house until firefighters arrived at the scene, Marler said.

“When our guys got there they did a good job of keeping the fire to that one location,” he said. “A neighbor put a garden hose on it before we got there and that helped a lot.”

The woman living in the home, as well as her rabbit, escaped without injury and spent the night with a friend, according to the fire department.

The fire apparently started when heat from a large stone fireplace, similar to that of a hunting lodge, ignited a wall made of wood that surrounds it, Marler said.

“At first glance it appears to have been an accidental fire caused by overexposure of that wooden wall from the fireplace,” he said.

Skottowe Lane is located off of Beaverton Valley Road, on Cady Mountain, near the intersection with Boyce Road.

Twenty firefighters, two fire engines, two water tenders, an aid car, five EMTs , seven logistics team members and a Sheriff ’s Deputy, as well as OPALCO responded to the fire.

San Juan EMS provided EMTs to offer medical support to both the firefighters and the resident.

The fire was under control by 1 a.m.

While the fire gutted the sunroom, Marler said that the majority of the home, roughly 1,500 square feet in size, sustained only minor damage from the fire or smoke.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that if the homeowner and insurance company want to rebuild they’ll be able to,” Marler said.

Bowl are different, just ask Holmgren about one of the pictures hanging in his house. In the old black-and-white photo, Holmgren, then the 49ers’ quarterbacks coach, is sitting in a folding chair facing head coach Bill Walsh going over the game plan.

To this day, Holmgren has the same reaction to that photo.

“Every time I see that picture, my heart starts going thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump,” he said. “I go ‘Wow, I remember that.’ I was nervous. When I was a head coach, I wasn’t so nervous.”

So maybe past Super Bowl experience matters a little, though if it does, it’s not exactly like the Broncos have a roster full of it. While Manning won one title with the Colts, no one else on Denver’s roster has a championship, though receiver Wes Welker, tight end Jacob Tamme and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie have all played in Super Bowls.

If the Seahawks have one thing going for them this week, it will be a bit of familiarity. Having played the New York Giants this year, the Seahawks have already played, and won, at MetLife Stadium. Carroll even made sure to find out what would be the NFC team hotel for the Super Bowl so his Seahawks could stay there for their regularseason trip to New Jersey.

“I always like using those illustrations ... where we have been there before and we’ve done that,” he said, noting the possibility of a return trip wasn’t something discussed publicly before Seattle won the NFC Championship game. “We just try to

on Lopez Island is Grace Church Meeting Hall.

On San Juan Island, former San Juan County Councilman Howie Rosenfeld, a former public health professional, says he has recently heard “loud” jet noise “from over the horizon” at his home in Friday Harbor and is interested in finding out more about the issue, especially because he once lived on Whidbey Island and remembers the noise problems.

Other COER meetings have been scheduled on Guemes Island, Jan. 28, and at Langley on Whidbey Island, Feb. 15. Also important to making the case, according to Ken Pickard, an environmental attorney who lives near the OLF, was for COER to do its own noise testing and obtaining scientific input on health effects from environmental health specialists. The health effects, according to Pickard, are “extensive and serious.”

Pickard also said that COER is attempting to interest U.S. Senators Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray in the issue but has heard only from Cantwell’s office.

Congressman Rick Larsen, who was instrumental in keeping the base open in the face of attempts to close it, commented that he “supports the Navy entering into an environmental review process to take all issues under consideration.”

Higher wages = more spending, and jobs

This is an

Raising the minimum wage won’t erase income inequality, but it’s a good start

By Rick Larsen

Special to the Journal

G

rowing up in Arlington, a lot of my friends worked minimum-wage jobs. I worked at a bookbindery during high school, pulling in about $3.50 an hour during the summer break.

That image of a high school student working a few hours a week for some extra cash is the idea that a lot of us get when we think about the minimum wage. Opponents of raising the minimum wage use that antiquated portrait to oppose wage increases today. They say a higher wage hurts businesses only to put a few extra bucks in the pockets of teenagers.

But the reality is that picture falls terribly short in illustrating the reality of the low-wage labor market today. So let's debunk that myth now. The truth is that low-wage workers are older and often the sole breadwinners to support their families. Here are the stats, from the Center for Economic and Policy Research: In 1979, 27 percent of low-wage workers were teenagers.

Today just 12 percent are. The average age of low-wage workers is 35 years old.

One in 10 low-wage workers are college graduates, double the number from 1979. Women, who make up 49 percent of the workforce, account for 56 percent of lowwage earners.

Here's another fact: working full time at the minimum wage is not enough to keep families out of poverty. That $3.50 an hour I was making back in the early 1980s may not sound like much, but the sad truth is that is actually more than minimum wage workers are earning around the country today, when adjusted for inflation.

It is unacceptable that millions of people are working full time at the minimum wage but still fall under the poverty line. Clearly it’s time for a change.

A few weeks ago, I joined more than 170 of my colleagues to co-sponsor the Fair Minimum Wage Act. This bill will raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 and tie future increases to keep pace with inflation. Independent economists estimate such a change would lift 4.6 million people out of poverty.

Six years after the Great Recession hit, economists agree that the United States is on a strong rebound. The economy is growing, companies are hiring, and the stock markets are soaring.

But dig a little deeper into the data and you will find

Lolita:

Continued from page 1 breath. That might take awhile, or never.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration backpedaled from its previous stance and late last week recommended that Lolita, also known as Tokitae, be included along with its cousins on the ESA. The agency will accept public comment on the proposal until March 28 and begin a months-long exploration as to what type of protection such a designation would afford to the captive killer whale.

Lynne Barre, branch chief for protected resources at the National Marine Fisheries Service, said the Lolita’s proposed listing

under the ESA includes language in which reintroducing the orca into the wild could be consider as “a take”, creating a potential harm, which in itself would be a violation of the ESA. Still, she said that the agency will consider comment about a possible relocation as part of its evaluation.

Barre noted that other individual animals afforded protection under the ESA remain in captivity for a variety of reasons, as part of breeding programs or because they’ve never been acclimated to the wild.

Noted examples include monk seals, sturgeon and small-tooth sawfish, as well as chimpanzees.

She said the Fisheries Service is collaborating with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, which is faced with a simi-

some troubling facts. The vast majority of income increases in the last few years have gone to the top earners.

According to research at UC Berkeley, the top 1 percent of income earners took home 95 percent of the income increases between 2009 and 2012.

Earlier this week, The Bellingham Herald reported that with half of all Whatcom County’s jobs in low-paying Contributed photo U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Everett retail and service industries, the county’s wages have stagnated lower than state and national levels for the last decade. Middle-class jobs that were axed in the recession are being replaced by low-wage jobs.

That makes it all the more important to raise the minimum wage. But there are other reasons to do it, too. Raising the minimum wage does more than help low-wage workers.

Low-wage earners spend a far greater percentage of their paycheck than higher earners, meaning that most of the increased wages would be injected directly back into the economy. Economists estimate that an increase to $10.10 an hour would generate $22 billion in increased economic activity, creating 85,000 new jobs.

We need to do a lot more than raise the minimum wage to truly combat rising income inequality. One of the first things that Congress needs to do is extend emergency unemployment insurance that Congressional Republicans let expire last month. These benefits are often the last thing stopping people who are looking for work from falling into poverty.

We need to invest in education, so the next generation of workers can get the best jobs and grow the economy for all.

And of course we need to stay focused on creating goodpaying, middle-class jobs by investing in transportation infrastructure, fueling small business growth and finding new markets to sell American-made products.

It is not a very complicated idea: In the largest economy in the world, people should be able to get a good education, find a job and be paid a salary that lets them feed and house their families. Making sure that a minimum wage pays enough to keep families out of poverty is an important first start to getting there.

Horse Liniment Erases Pain

HIALEAH, FL – An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula.

According to a national drug survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back under the trade name ARTH ARREST and

says it can relieve pain for millions.

ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, ARTH ARREST is useful in the treatment of a variety of painful disorders.

ARTH ARREST is available without a prescription or call 877-581-1502.

For students sake; ‘Yes’ on M&O levy

Being asked to contribute more money for education is frustrating to many islanders.

“We’re already spending plenty,” you’ll hear. And on a national level, it’s true.

In 2011, the University of Southern California produced a graphic which shows the annual education spending of 12 countries. Although we outspend other nations, the Federal Department of Education takes a large part of the total.

Individual states have their own education divisions and fund them differently. But basic education funding provided by the state of Washington is not sufficient to fully fund our district’s programs.

Especially with recent cutbacks from Olympia.

In 2010 our district had to seek a four-year maintenance and operations levy.

We voted and approved it.

Now it must be renewed.

These funds comprise almost 20 percent of the annual operating budget of our district and pay for such things as full-service bus routes, reasonable class sizes, comprehensive student schedules, staffing for technology, visual arts and libraries, advanced placement and community based courses. Pretty much what you’d expect from a topranked school system.

I know it’s hard to vote for something like taxes.

And yes, there’s room to cut spending on a national

level. But these funds are critical for the success of our local students and the monies will be used for purposes worthy of your support.

And remember, this is not a new tax, it’s just a renewal for four more years. It’s a fixed-dollar amount that is unchanged as assessed property values may rise.

According to our county assessor’s office, the approximate levy rate will go from 73 cents per $1,000 assessed value (now) to 81 cents per $1,000 in 2018.

For a home assessed at $300,000 the levy change will mean almost $16 per year more in 2015 and 2016, $22 for 2017 and an extra $25 for the year of 2018, or about $2 per month. Less than a latte.

Good schools mean better communities. Please support our island schools and the greater community.

Vote to continue the maintenance and operations levy for the San Juan Island School District.

No free pass just because it’s Navy

When I joined the military the first thing I was told was “this is not a democracy, you do as you’re told and do not ask questions.”

I fear the longer one lives under this mantra the more it becomes a mindset.

Witness the atrocities committed in the name of “just following orders.”

Unfortunately, change happens. The nature of war changes as does the nature of communities; as a community grows so does the need for peaceful co-exis-

tence.

One group cannot assume a business as usual attitude when that attitude puts a strain on the community in which said group resides, which is exactly the case with the Whidbey NAS [Naval Air Station].

Loyalty and obedience are the driving force of the military. In a democracy one is called to question and speak out.

When two opposing forces meet there is conflict. In a civilized society this can lead to lawsuits, again the case here.

Hopefully, elected mediators can sort out the problem to the satisfaction of all.

If not, the ill feelings will only increase which, in the end, serve no one.

One of the sounds of freedom is the sound of protest, in this case protest to the military excesses.

Despite having eight years’ experience, there’s still some trepidation in teaching at a new location; any reservations that I had promptly subsided as I got to know the staff and students in the San Juan School District. They immediately made me feel welcomed, and this has become the most fun that I have had teaching because the students constantly challenge me to better myself.

Also the administration, parents, the school board, and the entire community have been wonderfully supportive as well, and after only a few months I am proud to call Friday Harbor my home. My children love going to FHES as the teachers there have been nothing short of awesome.

The beauty of this tightknit community is that they all know the importance of a quality education, and how important levies are, not only to the district, but to the county and state as a whole.

The world is rapidly changing, as we become smaller and smaller due to the rapidity of globalization. We are no longer just competing with Orcas, Anacortes or even with other schools in the state of Washington, but from around the world.

Resources are finite, and so are jobs; we need to impart every single opportunity that we can in order to help students compete and succeed in this hyper competitive environment.

This levy helps ensure that.

I am still wowed by the effort shown by staff and students alike on a daily basis. The music and arts programs here are second to none.

urrent controversies in our corner of the world include issues critical to our lives and livelihoods.

And, interestingly enough, many of them involve the U.S. government, which everyone at some time loves to hate.

Think about them: military training at an airbase that’s critical to the Whidbey Island economy and that the military says is critical to our national security; killer whales that must be protected for their own sakes and for ours; the National Monument, national historic parks and border security installations that bring in millions of dollars, thousands of tourists and hundreds of jobs to the islands; transportation infrastructure that in both the short and long term make our state and region prosperous.

Every issue provokes lively arguments on both sides. This paper welcomes those debates.

We love a controversial story, especially one that is important enough to readers that they take the time to comment on.

We don’t mind when comments call people misguided, misinformed, stupid or even “idiots” (though such commenters should realize that name-calling is not only unkind, but also counterproductive).

What we do mind, lately, is the argument that ends (and often begins), “If you don’t like it, leave.” Does that extend to school levies? Critical area ordinances? Sheriff’s deputies? Spanishspeaking neighbors?

And the related argument, “You can’t complain if you chose to move here,” is, frankly, nonsense.

First in time is not first in right.

Don’t stop complaining. It’s as American as apple pie. Just try to be tasteful.

slanders cooperate. We live in close proximity without an easy escape route, so we have to figure out how to work well together.

Hundreds of island residents object to the proposed location of Customs and Border Patrol to First and Spring. The landowners worry that their livelihood may be threatened.

This is a big deal. We need to address the proposed relocation comprehensively, in a way that considers the needs of all our community members.

The public learned about the relocation just before Halloween, through local news outlets. By then, the lease had already been signed; federal govern- Grisha Krivchenia ment occupancy of the most prominent corner of our commercial downtown was presented as a “done deal.” This felt like a slap in the face to many island residents.

Our political framework allows Americans the freedom to ask U.S. representatives to contact a federal agency on our behalf. Citizens for the Core, a nonviolent community movement consisting of hundreds of islanders, led that charge.

In response to our letters of concern, Congressman Rick Larsen sent a very pointed request for information to the General Services Administration, the federal agency that chose the new location. Most importantly, Larsen reiterated our concern that the lease was signed without adequate opportunity for public comment.

Islanders have had only three months to inform ourselves and see if anything could be done to challenge the relocation. Our Freedom of Information Act request to the GSA

was finally fulfilled on Jan. 21. It has been hard to organize against something that we couldn’t even see.

The GSA has valid reasons for keeping quiet about lease negotiations. If the entire process were open, investors could collude on bids, offering the federal government a corrupt or inflated deal. That said, the GSA has procedures in place for inviting public comment in ways that do not compromise negotiation.

In a meeting at the fire station on Nov. 25, a GSA representative admitted that such processes exist, but the GSA did not choose them in Friday Harbor. Another slap in the face.

I have spoken personally to countless islanders who are upset about the process or about the location itself. Only two people (the landlords) have told me that they thought it was a good location. A few have said “acceptable,” but not “good.” Even those who would passively accept this “deal” admit that they would rather see Customs outside of our commercial core.

In a Dec. 10 County Council meeting, Councilman Bob Jarman commented that the best situation would be “to put them [Customs] at the waterfront, make it easy for them to get access where they need to get access.”

As I See It

Disrespect puts gravel pit park at risk

By Suzanne Bryner Special to the Journal

W

e must be the luckiest dog lovers in the world.

We have the wonderful gravel pit where we can walk our dogs and let them play together. It’s great.

But the reality is that being able to let our dogs off leash there is a privilege not a right. That’s an important point to remember and it should be treated with a great amount of respect.

My dog has developed an aggressive attitude from being rushed by other dogs while we were at the gravel pit; I have heard the same from others. Now, I am working hard every day to correct that problem.

Every time you allow your dog to come rushing into mine because you have no control over it, you set my hard work back weeks and sometimes months. Think about that. I am trying to be a responsible dog owner. Respect that.

If you cannot call your dog back to you then in my opinion it should not be off leash. And if I tell you my dog is aggressive, respect that. Leash your dog as you pass and give us a wide berth.

People manners for the gravel pit dog park If you see a dog on leash or with its owner off to the side, please respect their pri- vacy and don’t approach until the owner says OK. n Clean up after your dog. Plastic bags are provided to make this easy. n If you cannot call your dog back to you without fail then don’t let it off leash. n Call your dog away from the gate while other dogs are entering or leaving. n Pay close attention to your dog and keep it out of trouble. n Always be aware of your dog’s location and the body language of the dogs your dog is interacting with. n Immediately stop aggressive behavior. n Be responsible for your dogs behavior. n

The gravel pit is a luxury that deserves our respect and our beautiful dogs deserve our full attention while playing there. Picking up poop is not optional. I have actually seen people let their dogs out to poop at the gravel pit and then just walk away. Feces are a potential disease vector for both dogs and for wildlife. PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG! Island Rec has made that super easy for us by providing not only bags but trash cans in two strategic locations as well. USE THEM. One person told me they don’t pick

up after their dog because the dog poops on the hillside. Either go down there and pick it up or keep your dog leashed until after it has pooped in a place where you can easily get it. There is really no excuse.

The gravel pit is a gem of a place, lets keep it that way. Respect each other, other dogs, and especially the people without dogs who come to walk or jog and do not deserve to be mauled by your dog. I would like to assume that its not that you don’t care, but that you didn’t know. Now you do.

A few guidelines above.

By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — While most of America spent the day after the NFC Championship game reacting to Richard Sherman’s postgame antics, the Seahawks cornerback was already immersed in film study.

“With Peyton,” Sherman said. “you have to be on it quick, because I know he was on it quick.”

When it comes to preparing for quarterback Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos’ offense, an extra week between games is probably one or two weeks too few, which is why Sherman and the Seahawks defense, despite being the best in the NFL, know they have their hands full this weekend.

All season this Super Bowl matchup seemed like destiny. In the AFC, the 37-year-old Manning enjoyed the best season of what will surely be a Hall-of-Fame career, shattering passing records while leading the Broncos to an NFL record for points in a season.

Seattle, meanwhile, earned the NFC’s No. 1 seed thanks in large part to a defense that became the first since the 1985 Chicago Bears to lead the NFL in fewest points (14.4) and fewest yards allowed (273.6) as well as takeaways (39). When you factor in the pass-happy era we’re in, Seattle’s pass defense wasn’t just great, it was one of the best of all-time.

So when Sherman tipped Colin Kaepernick’s pass to Malcolm Smith for the game-clinching interception in the NFC title game, it didn’t just secure a Super Bowl berth for Seattle, it also set up one of the most intriguing Super Bowl matchups in recent memory, a classic meeting of an unstoppable force and an immoveable object.

“We really embrace that, man,” Sherman said. “As a defense, we respect the heck out of Peyton Manning, but as a true competitor, as competitive as our team is, you wouldn’t want to have it any other way. You want the best of the best, otherwise you don’t feel like you’re getting the biggest challenge of your life. ... It’s just a competitive drive in you. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. So that’s the only way it can go.”

And there is no arguing that this is a best-vs.-best matchup. Manning, whose career was in danger less than three years ago following multiple neck surgeries, established single-season records for passing yards (5,477) and passing touchdowns (55). He carved up opposing defense by spreading the ball around to a group of pass-catchers with diverse skill sets, ranging from a pro-

totypical No. 1 receiver in Demaryius Thomas to a speedy slot receiver in Wes Welker to an athletic tight end in Julius Thomas. And of all the crazy stats the Broncos put up, the most stunning might be that they had four pass-catchers produce 10-plus touchdown seasons: Thomas, Thomas, Welker and Eric Decker. For a little perspective on how crazy that is, there were just nine other receivers and tight ends on the NFL’s 31 other teams to accomplish that feat.

So it’s no surprise that the Broncos are confident in their offense, no matter who is lined up across from them.

“They are the No. 1 defense,” Demaryius Thomas told reporters in Denver. “They have a great defense and we have a great offense. This is what you play for. I think we’ll be fine.”

Yet as confident as the Broncos may be, it’s safe to say they’ve yet to see anything quite like this Seattle defense, which didn’t just have the best pass defense in the league, but the best by a significant margin.

Seattle allowed 172.0 passing yards per game, 22.1 fewer than the No. 2 team. The Seahawks’ opponents’ passer rating of 63.4 is 10.8 points better than the next best team. The website FootballPerspective.com came up with a formula to rate pass defense in a historical context by using adjusted net yards per attempt — meaning it factors in sacks, not just actual pass attempts — then factored in a standard deviation relative to the average pass defense that year, and came away with the conclusion that the Seahawks have the fourth-best pass defense since 1950 behind 2002 Tampa Bay, 1988 Minnesota and the 1970 Vikings. Those ’02 Buccaneers won the Super Bowl, and it should be noted that Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was the defensive backs coach of the ’88 Vikings.

Seattle’s secondary deservedly saw three players, Sherman, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, earn Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors, yet it’s safe to say they’ve yet to see anything quite like Denver’s offense.

But Seahawks fans might take comfort knowing that in the previous four Super Bowls to match the league’s No. 1 offense and No. 1 defense in terms of yards, the defensive team won three times. Not only is Denver’s offense talented, it’s also a challenge because Manning has so much freedom at the line of scrimmage, essentially serving as, as Sherman called him, “an offensive coordinator out there.”

IMA lands $25K grant for student art programs

San Juan Island elementary and middle school students will benefit from a recent grant to San Juan Islands Museum of Art, earmarked for support of the K-12 art program.

A charitable foundation that supports educational projects provided $25,000 to extend, enrich, strengthen, and continue art education for public school students.

When dramatic cuts in educational funding four years ago threatened to curtail or eliminate art education from elementary and middle school curricula, IMA spearheaded the effort to assure that island youth would continue to have access to quality visual arts enrichment experiences.

“Support for public school arts education has always been a major focus of IMA,” said Barb Ray of the IMA Board of Trustees.

In partnership with San Juan Island School District and with additional support

from the San Juan Island Community Foundation, the SJICF Women’s Fund, Washington State Arts Commission, local PTA organizations and others, IMA has enabled over 550 local students to engage in a variety of arts activities and learning opportunities under the guidance of qualified artist/teachers.

“We are very gratified that our efforts in school art education have been recognized,” said Charles Bodenstab, acting executive director of IMA. “This generous grant will allow us to continue and further enhance opportunities for our enthusiastic students to explore a variety of current and future arts activities.”

Points proved hard to come by as the Friday Harbor girls basketball team failed to score in double digits in all four quarters of play in a 65-24 defeat, Saturday, at Lynden Christian.

The Lyncs led 39-13 at the half and pocketed the win after outscoring the Wolverines 26-11 in the second half.

The loss against the Lyncs is the latest dip in the Wolverines (6-9, 1-3 league) roller-coaster season.

Continued from page 9 this stage of his career,” Carroll said. “And the coaching staff has allowed that to happen where he can be in total command of what’s going on.”

One thing Carroll and his defense know well is that stopping Denver’s passing game isn’t only about the players covering Manning’s targets. If the Seahawks can somehow generate a pass rush to disrupt Manning’s timing, they’ll be doing something few teams have

this season. The Broncos allowed a league-low 20 sacks this season, 18 on Manning, and that number clearly isn’t a testament to Manning’s mobility. Instead the Broncos rely on solid pass protection and, even more important, a quarterback who through years of experience has learned precisely when to get rid of the ball and where to throw it.

The Seahawks added Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril to improve their pass rush, and it worked, with Seattle registering 44 sacks this season, but even with a strong group of pass-rushers,

pressuring Manning, like stopping the entire Broncos offense, will be a challenge even for the league’s best defense.

“We have to be able to do everything,” Carroll said.

“We have to be able to pressure him, we have to be able to play zone and man, do all of the things. Hopefully give him some new looks he can’t prepare for. We have to find a way to get him out of his normal rhythm.

Very few teams have been able to do that. So it’s a big challenge.”

Nathaniel Wight, 1995 graduate of Friday Harbor High School, helped found the Bronx Design & Construction Academy (www. bxdca.org) in New York City just three years ago.

Last week, Wight and students from the school traveled to Abu Dhabi to accept the Zayed Future Energy Prize on behalf of the school.

The prize carries with it a $100,000 grant, which will be used to build an Energy-Environment Research Center at the school.

Wight is the son of Larry Wight, Contributed photo science and technology program director at FHHS, and Patricia Friday Harbor High School graduate Nathaniel Wight, right, and one of his pupils display the Bronx Design & Wight.

The Zayed Prize (www.zayedfu- Construction Academy’s international award. tureenergyprize.com), initiated in 2008, is awarded to environmentally responsible businesses, non-governmental organizations and global high schools in honor of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahya, the first President of the United Arab Emirates, which he helped found in 1971.

Representing the Americas, the BDCA Energy Environment Research Center won the prize for its project, an initiative to generate on-site renewable energy from wind and solar power.

Four other high schools ¢ from Romania, Malawi, India and Tonga also were selected. In 2013, BDCA was a finalist and runner-up for the prize, according to Wight.
