Snow Lime Kiln braces; staff cuts near How will the state takes Parks run with fewer employees? modest toll

Twenty yards of sand. Thirtyfive 5-gallon pails of “snow melt”.

Just 15 hours of overtime.

Add it all together, as town Administrator King Fitch routinely does, and Friday Habor’s account for road maintenance emerged from the first true snow and ice storm of the season relatively unscathed.

The durability of its water system proved even more stout.

“It really was kind of a ‘friendly’ cold snap from a water perspective,” Fitch said. “Typically when the thaw comes that’s when pipes burst.”

At the headquarters of San Juan County’s Public Works Department, Operations Manager Russ Harvey has yet to tally the final cost of last week’s snow and ice response. The cost of cleanup and of resupplying its stockpile of sand and salt has yet to be added into the equation, Harvey said.

However, he said the department got the upper hand on keeping the primary roads passable in fairly short order.

“We were able to get to the side roads quicker than we used to,” Harvey said. “By Wednesday afternoon we were plowing the side roads and by Friday we basically had all the county roads cleared.”

Public Works is responsible for maintaining roughly 265 miles of roadway — a mix of seal-coat, gravel and asphalt — on the four See ROADS, Page 2

Benefit raises $6K

With ammunition from her tablemates in hand, Maude Cumming gets ready for the dessert auction at Saturday’s benefit dinner for Tina Jones.

By Scott Rasmussen

Dinner, dessert, entertainment, auctions; Friday Harbor high school students pulled out all the stops.

And islanders turned out in droves to help make Saturday’s fundraiser for middle school teacher Tina Jones a success.

“We weren’t sure with the weather how many people would show up,” said senior Rebecca Leff, president of the high school S-Club, which organized the benefit. “I’m just so incredibly pleased.”

Between all the spaghetti din-

For Christmas, state parks handed out pink slips instead of presents — cutting 16 full-time permanent construction and maintenance staff and 66 full-time rangers from the payroll. The rangers will be given options for seasonal employment, with the aim of keeping staffing in parks from May through September, similar to current year-round levels.

“It’s the heavier maintenance that happens in the winter that we’re going to be light on in order to keep staffing there for visitors,” said Parks Communications Specialist Virginia Painter. “Over time that will show, and we know it’s not sustainable, but this is something we have to do in order to keep services there for visitors.”

Lime Kiln Point State Park on San Juan is losing two full-time positions — Ranger William Hoppe and Ken Schilling, in

ners, the donations, the live and silent auctions, and an after-dinner auction of mouth-watering desserts, the S-Club raised about $6,000 to assist Jones, a social studies instructor, in plugging a financial drain that’s followed in

the wake of her battle against breast cancer.

San Juan was locked in the grip of its first real ice and snow of the season less then 24 hours before the fundraiser was set to begin.

Be smart, don’t miss the K-Bowl, Feb. 2 Mark your calendar. Put on your thinking cap. The Knowledge Bowl is just around the corner.

Sponsored by the the San Juan Public Schools Foundation, the 18th annual Knowledge Bowl is Thursday, Feb. 2, at San Juan Community Theatre.

The competition, a yearly clash between local civic groups and middle and high school students for bragging rights as best "brainiac" of the island, gets under way at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.and the Friday Harbor Jazz Band will perform as the evening's opening act, and at intermission as well.

The competition will be emceed this year by Brent Snow, general manager of Roche Harbor Resort and chairman of the San Juan Island School Board.

Through its main fundraising events, such as the Knowledge Bowl, Phonea-Thon and Business Partnership Program in the school director, the Public Schools Foundation hopes to donate as much $70,000 to supplement the public schools' education needs.

Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children, and will be available at the theatre box office the night of the event.

By Saturday afternoon, however, barely a trace could be found.

The Mullis Senior Center, which hosted the event, was packed from wall to wall. No one seemed more touched by the outpouring of support than Jones herself. “It’s overwhelming,� she said, surveying the crowd.

ferry served islands, combined.

Road crews on Orcas were first to respond, as snow began falling on the east side of the island early Saturday.

The department dumped 800 tons of sand and 40 tons of salt on roadways, countywide, over the course of the 6-day winter storm.

Its crews clocked 135 hours of overtime during the 3-day holiday weekend,

and 86 hours of overtime after that.

Harvey credits earlier investment in “hook-lift� trucks for the department’s improved ability in keeping roads clear. Plows, sanders and sweepers, or various attachments, can be easily added or removed, either on the front or rear, given the situation. “They can go from a dump truck to a sander in about 15 minutes,� Harvey said. “We’re tickled with them. You could call them a ‘multi-tasker’.�

Despite an improved ability to remove snow and ice, Harvey noted it can prove a labor intensive campaign and the department sets aside only a modest amount of its over-

all budget for emergency winter maintenance.

Prolonged bouts of snow or ice may be memorable, but, Harvey notes, they are infrequent in the islands. “It’s a crap shoot how you go about planning for it,� he said. “There are year’s when you get a late hit and that’s generally when you don’t have it. That’s why it’s important to have a reserve.�

Fitch and Harvey agree that the rapid disappearance of last week’s snow and ice is both unusual and beneficial to the bottom line.

It disappeared, literally, overnight. “If I were to write a script that would be the kind of thaw I would want,� Harvey said.

“Keep yourself in the love of God.�

middle school principal Court Bell, Jones worked as a substitute before she became a full-time middle school faculty member in 2006. Though Jones arrived on San Juan with teaching credentials in tow (she previously had taught a high school in Federal Way) she moved to Friday Harbor on somewhat of a lark. “It was all on a whim,� she said. “I’m came here without a job and started in construction first.�

She became a mainstay of the middle school faculty over the course of her six-year tenure. And she’s remembered fondly by many former students. “We saw someone in need and she’s an important member of this community,� said Leff, leader of the S-Club. “We wanted to do whatever we could to support her.�

News Briefs Health dept. advises vaccines Flu activity has been low in Washington in the early part of this season, according to the Department of Health, which is why they are urging people to get vaccinated before illnesses start to mount in January. It takes two weeks for vaccine to be effective.

If you have questions, check out the Department of Health’s new public service video at www.doh. wa.gov. The video features local families along with Secretary of Health Mary Selecky talking about why they get the flu shot every year and encouraging others to do the same.

To make an appointment for a flu vaccine, contact SJC Health and Community Services at 378-4474, or go to www.doh.wa.gov/LHJMap/ LHJMap.htm, or your doctor, local pharmacy, or call the Family Health Hotline at 1-800-322-2588.

Inspect your own sewage systems San Juan County Health and Community Services has announced the schedule for its on-site sewage system operation and maintenance workshops for homeowners.

During the past three years more than 2,600 homeowners have attended the free workshops and been certified to inspect their septic systems.

Workshops are scheduled for Lopez, Orcas and San Juan Island through September of this year (class schedule online at: http://www.sanjuanco.com/ health/ehswaste.aspx or by calling 378-4474).

The workshops provide an opportunity for homeowners to earn certification to complete inspections of their septic systems and avoid the expense of hiring an outside inspector.

The classes also discuss how septic systems function, and how they can be maintained to extend the longevity of the system, reduce expenses and protect the environment.

Homeowners in San Juan County have been required since 2007 to have their septic systems inspected on a regular basis. Gravity systems that are not in designated sensitive areas must be inspected every three years.

All other systems, including gravity systems in sensitive areas, require annual inspections.

Wildland fire risk assessment The Bureau of Land Management and San Juan County are developing a county-level wildland fire risk assessment.

County agencies and organizations have started a risk assessment planning committee as the first step in the ultimate develop-

ment of a San Juan County Wildfire Protection Plan.

The committee includes representatives from fire districts, the county, Washington Department of Natural Resources, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, private landowners, and others.

Northwest Management, Inc. will facilitate meetings, conduct field inspections and interviews and develop assessments.

The plan will be part of the National Fire Plan and Healthy Forests Restoration Act. The assessment will include risk analyses with predictive models indicating where fires are likely to ignite and how they may impact communities and the environment.

The project aims to prevent wildfire ignitions, create a more fire-resistant county and provide public wildfire education.

The planning committee meetings will discuss pre-

Locally based engineering, planning and surveying firm Boundary Water has closed its office in Friday Harbor in a cost-cutting move.

The firm closed its office at 365D Spring Street Nov. 1, making its Lopez Island office the company’s primary worksite.

According to Dan Drahn of Boundary Water, the company will continue to offer survey services on San Juan Island, maintain its Friday Harbor mailing, telephone numbers and remain fully functional in Friday Harbor through the winter.

Meetings in Friday Harbor will be available by appointment, at the Hideaway Guest Suite, 310 Spring Street.

The company can be reached by fax at its Lopez Island number: (360) 4683031.

In a press release announcing the office closure, Drahn noted changes listed above are temporary and that the company intends to look for a new, smaller office space in early spring.

“For the most part, we will be anticipating conducting business as ususal,” he said.

D-Pass transfer gains ground The ability to transfer state Parks Discover Pass is one step closer to becoming law after passing through the Senate Ways & Means Committee Jan. 19.

Sponsored by Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, SB 5977 would allow the pass to be transferable between two vehicles.

“After hearing from citizens statewide, it’s clear that a non-transferable pass places too large a burden upon already strained fam-

ily budgets,” Ranker said.

A November survey

by WSU under the direction of state Parks, Fish and Wildlife and Natural Resources agencies showed the lack of transferability to have negatively affected revenues.

Ranker said the new rule could potentially increase the desirability and sales of the pass.

If signed into law, the legislation would take effect immediately. Current pass holders would be allowed a second vehicle as well.

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission made a decision to reduce staff rather than close the parks, in part because closed doors will not make money.

The parks department is expected to become fully self-sustaining state-wide by July 2013, and last summer’s state’s biennial budget provided just a fraction of its previous budget as “bridge funding.� Now that $17.3 million has been slashed by another $11 million.

The Discover Pass that took effect last July has to date fallen far shy of its projected revenue of $65 million within two years. The pass has brought in just $7.2 million in its first four months. “The longer the agency waits to make reductions, the deeper the cuts will be,� read the commissions’ agenda notes. “Each month delay would mean approximately $750,000 a month in additional cuts.�

Painter says Parks officials hope the financial situation will improve over time. “Common sense tells you

it takes time for people to learn about and participate in something like [the Discover Pass now funding the parks],� she said. “The parks system is exploring other ways of earning revenue over time.�

A statewide total of nine additional park aides will be added as extra hands at lower wages, assisting the park rangers with tasks from assisting and directing visitors to cleaning and maintenance.

Lime Kiln A typical day for a ranger in Washington could bring just about anything. Once, while working at a park in eastern Washington, Hoppe started the morning by cleaning the toilets, and then issued a citation for people drinking alcohol.

In the afternoon, he talked to a school group about the local marmot population.

As night fell, he assisted a search and rescue team dig someone out of a rockslide. “There’s just so many different things for any day,� said Hoppe, who often juggles administration, law enforcement, interpretation

What is ‘FOLKS’?

Friends of Lime Kiln Society is a nonprofit group operating under the fiscal sponsorship of the Washington State Parks Foundation. The elected board of seven is developing both educational and commercial projects in preparation for the 2012 visitors’ season.

FOLKS will be focused on raising funds to sustain Lime Kiln’s operations from May to September, maintenance and programs, including the operation of the Interpretive Center and collection of parking fees. The nonprofit also hopes to create new ways of generating revenue — like renting out the top of the lighthouse for weddings.

sen to apply for a full-time position at another park in Washington state, which has yet to be determined. “I’m heartbroken too, since 1993 I have helped establish the park — getting the interpretive center off the ground, the loop trail, acquired the actual Lime Kiln and beachfront property,� Hoppe said. “I’ve come to enjoy it, but I just don’t have that option anymore.�

And despite the work he’s done, he’s says there is so much more to do.

Schilling echoes Hoppe as he points to a list of items that need to be done, a list that won’t be completed in the next two weeks.

He was hired two years ago for his expertise in construction and maintenance, and has been in charge of many jobs including fixing the compostable toilet, maintaining three boats, three pickups, a tractor and various tools.

He’s not just upset that he’s losing his job and that he has a wife and 5-year-old to take care of; he’s upset that a position is eliminated when there is still work to be done.

He said in a few weeks he’ll either have a new job or be unemployed and living in his mom’s garage.

The park will have aides, two five-month positions, one three-month position and another two-month position. But Schilling said aides often do not have the expertise to replace current positions.

Lime Kiln also usually has about 20 volunteers in various jobs like running the interpretation center, working as docents, and doing odd jobs. “Volunteers are vital to our operations,� Schlud said.

But he doesn’t see much hope for the park to recover until the economy improves. “The only way we could make money is to sell the product that we have and that is the great outdoors,�

Schlund said.

Schilling said that there are ways to generate money like providing campsites, but that the bureaucracy and paperwork won’t allow new creative ideas. “We need the executive leadership team of the state See LIME KILN, Page 5

Hoffman claims Derby’s top prize The Bluewater Bar and Grille sponsored its first Blackmouth debut Saturday.

Top prize —$1,000, winner take all. With the forecast calling for gales, only ten boats braved the winds to fish in the one-day event.

The wind blew from due west, and San Juan Channel was fairly calm and protected.

Chad Hoffman, fishing with Bobby Wilson and Chuck Payne of San Juan Sportsman Charters reeled in the biggest salmon. This 11.4 pounder was Hoffman’s first blackmouth. After the weigh in, anglers met at the Bluewater to relax.

Ranker introduces series of jobs, gov’t reforms Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, introduced a wide-ranging series of bills last week to create jobs and reform government.

The proposals include legislation to clean up environmentally hazardous toxic sites across the state, reform and reaffirm the state commitment to working waterfronts and new reforms in teacher and principle evaluations. “Local economies need healthy communities in order to thrive,� Ranker said. “There are hundreds of sites in communities across the state with such high levels of contamination that they are

SB 6170 would protect working waterfronts, improve environmental protections and create jobs through a series of important reforms.

OPINION Editorial

A costly cut?

Are the San Juans about to become the Wild West for criminals? Hardly.

At first glance, we thought public safety would be compromised with a $110,000 cut to the sheriff’s department and a $30,600 reduction to the prosecutor’s office.

Sheriff Rob Nou will be unable to fill a deputy position on Orcas Island, which at this point remains vacant, and must do without a parttime dispatcher, also an unfilled post, because of the drop in 2012 funding. Prosecuting attorney Randy Gaylord said he will be forced reduce the hours of the attorney assigned to handle misdemeanor cases by half.

“We will refocus on those cases that involve injuries to people, and especially domestic violence, driving under the influence, and other serious charges involving reckless and damaging conduct,” Gaylord said. “My goal is to keep the community safe, but it is not practical to expect that offenders will be held accountable in the same way that we have been able to do in the past.”

Some people in the community have commented that this reduction in misdemeanor cases might streamline the court system. So we decided to take a look at what other counties allot for their criminal justice departments.

The San Juan County prosecuting attorney’s office will begin 2012 with a budget of $954,783 and 9.5 full-time employees, plus 1.5 FTEs in victims services. While most of that money comes from the county’s general fund, about $227,000 comes from outside grants. The sheriff’s departSee EDITORIAL, Page 7

Letters to the Editor

Wise investment, carefully weighed This fall I had the opportunity to be a member of the facilities review committee which vetted projects proposed for the Feb. 14, 2012, school district capital and technology levy.

The committee met for eight weeks, culminating with a presentation and recommendation to the school board.

We toured sites and reviewed documents — all of which are posted on the district’s website www.sjisd. wednet.edu . The group was diverse, being made up of parents, educators, general contractors, civil engineers, network administrators, building material experts, social services providers, district administrators, coaches and interested community members.

Each committee member took the responsibility of understanding the needs of the district very personally.

The committee as a whole carefully considered the trade-offs of reinvesting and maintaining the district’s assets, against what the recommended projects would mean in terms of a taxable amount to this community.

Every meeting included a discussion of how the dollar value of the projects would translate to real tax dollars, and could our community afford this amount given the challenging economic conditions?

does ask for more dollars than in previous years.

In studying all the sites it became apparent the district has been underfunded in past cycles to address the issues at the elementary school, and all other sites.

Just like our homes, we need to continue to do maintenance to ensure they stay safe and livable.

If we ignore the necessary repairs required for the elementary school, we will certainly be faced with higher taxes in the form of a bond to completely rebuild this facility in the not so distant future.

If voters approve this levy, the necessary repairs to our facilities will be made now to ensure their continued use by the students, teachers and all the other community groups who utilize these assets.

I urge you to vote “Yes”

for the proposed capital and technology levy by Feb. 14 to preserve our existing assets and keep our future taxes low.

Council too far afield in CAO The San Juan County Council is proposing new rules and restrictions on property owners in the county under what they are calling the critical areas ordinance.

The current draft has evolved into a complex document listing sets of new restrictions encumbering both existing homes and undeveloped properties.

vate property in the islands will be restricted under a system of critical area designations and critical area buffers.

Unfortunately, the council is proposing rules and restrictions without identifying an environmental need or any analysis as to the cost of compliance for the property owners, or cost and difficulty of administration by the county.

The council majority has shown no interest in reporting how the new restrictions will affect the value of the newly restricted private property. Also not addressed is the cost to the local economy, island businesses or jobs for working families.

The council majority appears to view private property rights as an arcane historical footnote that is simply a small obstacle to be overcome.

As I See It

Levy will improve facilities, keep dollars in classroom School officials make a case for renewal of capital & technology levy

By Brent Snow and Rick Thompson

Dear Voter: On Feb. 14 the San Juan Island School District will put a replacement levy before the voters.

This four-year levy replaces the 2005 and 2008 capital and technology measures passed by the voters by wide margins. The purpose of the levy is to provide the revenue necessary to maintain and preserve district facilities in a responsible and economical manner.

Over the last several months a committee comprised of diverse citizens and school district staff have reviewed technology and facility needs, concentrating on corrective actions needed at the Friday Harbor Elementary School site, built in 1986.

Several community volunteers reviewed facility studies and visited sites to make an informed recommendation to the board of directors. Information leading to the recommendation and the list of projects is available on the dis-

ment will operate with a $2.4 million budget.

Our population is 15,769, per the 2010 census.

In Jefferson County, population 30,900, the 2012 PA budget is $866,030 and the sheriff’s budget is $5 million. In Pacific County (in the southwest corner of state), population 20,900, the 2011 PA budget was $752,439. That same year, the sheriff’s budget was $1.3 million.

In Skamania, at population 11,150, the 2011 PA budget was $470,736. That department has three attorneys and two staff members.

It would appear that our county is on the high end of budget allocations. Might it be time to reevaluate how we run these departments?

San Juan County isn’t known for its high crime rate, so why is this much money required to fight crime and prosecute criminals?

CAO: buffer vs. the irreversible

The San Juan County Council and San Juan Planning Commission are currently conducting hearings on the state required Critical Areas Ordinance — a moderate series of regulations based on good science to protect our surrounding natural areas at minimal impact to island property owners.

I have been fortunate to travel to several parts of the world as well as live in seven different states over the course of 70 years.

In Africa, at the Masai Mara I saw a fence stretching away for many miles.

On one side was the Africa we all see on TV — an incredibly beautiful savannah of long grass and thorn trees — and on the other — exposed rock and stone, with almost no vegetation, where the goats have fed.

In Florida, I revisited the Gulf beach where I took my sons in the 1960s — a lovely beach with a great snorkling lagoon on the other side.

Today is a high-rised wall of condos, barring entry to any not living there.

All across this nation I have seen once beautiful hills and valleys forever altered by uncontrolled development. I am sure many of you have seen the

trict’s website, at www.sjisd.wednet.edu.

Approximately 40 percent of this revenue will be dedicated to facility improvements at Friday Harbor Elementary School, while 30 percent will be earmarked for technology needs across the district.

Since the fall of 2009, taxes dedicated to the school district have been reduced.

The bonds have been paid off.

Rick Thompson This measure does ask for more revenue than before, but the overall tax burden will still be reduced since the expiration of the bonds.

Both the advisory committee and the school board believe this proposal to be an economic alternative to costlier measures in the future. One estimate for a new elementary school was up to $15 million dollars.

Compared to other school districts, we believe this is a good investment in the future. Maintaining our existing elementary school is a better investment than to defer maintenance which will result in the building needing to be replaced.

Since 2008, the state of Washington has significantly cut same. That’s why we live here.

The San Juans are a striking mix of rural, farmed, forested lands and coast line that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The beauty of our islands is its greatest single economic value. And the value of these islands to the life of the Sound simply cannot be measured in money.

So, where do we want to be in a decade or two?

Read the proposed CAO for yourself. Go to a planning commission or county council meeting. If we want to leave our children even part of what we now have, we must protect the natural environment of our islands.

The CAO helps do this.

David M. Jenkins Friday Harbor

CAO: some answers, please I have read the county’s critical areas ordinance “Frequently Asked Questions”, but I find the answer to “What can and can’t I do with a legal nonconforming structure?”, too vague.

So here are the questions that I would like answered before citizens have their last chance to give their input on the CAO. If our house is nonconforming: How will this affect our property value and, therefore, how will this affect our property taxes?

Will our taxes go down?

Will we be able to refinance our loan? Will we be able to continue getting homeowners insurance and earthquake insurance?

How will this affect our

insurance rates?

If our house burns down to its foundation and chimney, can we rebuild it? If our house is damaged in an earthquake and part of our lot “disappears”, can we rebuild on a different footprint?

Will we and our heirs be grandfathered in? Will there be language in the CAO that guarantees the grandfathering? Will a future buyer, if we can find one, be grandfathered in?

Are there any situations in which a nonconforming house cannot be rebuilt?

If such a situation were to occur, would the value of the land fall to zero and, therefore, would the county not be able to collect property tax on that parcel?

Are there different answers to these questions if the house is located within 200 feet of shorelines, as opposed to upland areas?

If nonconforming house owners have their property taxes go down because the value of their houses go down, how will the government have enough money to operate? Can the government make nonconforming house owners pay a higher rate of property tax than the rate for conforming houses to make up for any potential loss of revenue?

What will happen to the economic health of the islands if property owners who own nonconforming houses want to sell their houses but can’t find buyers? Who will support the businesses, the charities and the government? What will be the impact on the housing market and on

local support for public education. The cuts directly impact the quality of education we can provide our students.

By passing the capital and technology levy, you can help the district keep classroom dollars where they should stay — in the classroom. This levy will help us stay focused on the classroom by not spending precious education dollars on capital needs.

Brent Snow This ballot measure asks voters to approve funding for district needs — not wants. It is the most fiscally responsible way to maintain our facilities into the foreseeable future.

— Rick Thompson is the superintendent of San Juan Island School District. Brent Snow is chairman of the school district board of directors.

Editor’s note: the League of Women Voters is sponsoring an hour informational meeting on the school’s district capital and technology levy, Tuesday, at the Mullis Senior Center. The meeting features a panel of guest speakers and begins at 5:30 p.m..

realtors?

How many houses in San Juan County will be considered nonconforming? What percentage of the total number of houses does this represent?

Rebbie Bates San Juan Island

A just, humane, wise alternative The American Civil Liberties Union of Washington (ACLU) and the Washington Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty are leading the “Safe and Just Alternatives” (SJA) campaign in support of House bill HB 2468 and Senate bill SB 6283.

The objectives of these bills are to eliminate capital punishment (the death penalty) in Washington State in favor of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

If approved, Washington will join 16 other states that have repealed the death penalty, including four states since 2007, and Oregon whose governor has declared a moratorium.

There are compelling reasons to eliminate capital punishment. The most obvious is for each one of us to answer the question whether state-sponsored killing of a human is both moral and serves justice.

Even if one concludes yes to this question, we must accept that the criminal justice system is fallible and there is the possibility that an innocent person has been executed in the past, and/or may be executed in the future.

To date, more than 130 men and women have been released from prison and/or death row due to a wrongful conviction since capital punishment was reinstated by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1977. Life without parole is a severe punishment, but, in contrast to execution, does allow for mistakes to be corrected.

There is also convincing evidence that capital punishment is discriminatory and is used disproportionately against the poor, minorities and members of racial communities.

Further, the evidence supports the conclusion that capital punishment does not deter crime.

The Southern states have approximately 50 percent of the prisoners awaiting execution, approximately 80 percent of the executions in the United States, and the highest regional murder rate.

In addition, the cost to Washington state of a death penalty case, because a life is at stake, far exceeds a sentence of life without parole.

We urge your readers to contact Representative Jeff Morris, 436A Legislative Building, PO Box 40600, Olympia, Wa. 985040600 (360-786-7970) and Senator Kevin Ranker, 215 John A. Cherberg Building, PO Box 40440. Olympia, Wa. 98504-0440 (360-7867678). Urge them to support HB 2468 and SB 6283, respectively.

OBITUARIES

8 — Wednesday, January 25, 2012

Gary Pugh: 1960 — 2012 With family and friends present, Gary passed away Jan. 14, 2012 in Whatcom Hospice House, Bellingham.

He was born June 26, 1960 in Coshocton, Ohio and raised in Big Sur, Calif., until the age of 13, when he and his family moved to Friday Harbor in 1973.

He spent most of the rest of his life here. Commercial fishing and building construction were his working endeavors.

He often spent partial winters in Mexico and partial summers fishing in Alaska. In years when salmon was plentiful, he smoked much of the fish he caught locally and gifted or traded it.

Without any formal training, Gary became a skilled master of many art forms. He had an innate sense of aesthetics and design. Combined with his fertile imagination and boundless energy, he was a very inspired artist.

He sculpted, carved, forged and assembled objects, working with an array of found materials, including stone, wood, metals, glass, ceramics, animal skins, fibers, shells, beads, ivory and bone.

He delighted all with art that ranged from jewelry to large

totems and mosaic pieces.

He liked to collect art of indigenous cultures, especially weavings.

Starting at a young age, Gary also became skilled at building small homes and shelters. Usually using quality recycled materials, new forms and functions would Contributed photo come to life. He was a vision- Gary Pugh ary when it came to the relationship between matter and the space it occupied.

Loving the outdoors, Gary spent most of his time in fresh air. Be it on land or water, or relaxing by an open fire at night, often in the company of one or more friends. He most often cooked his food outside all year round. Fire was an important part of Gary’s life.

No doubt, when we remember Gary, a perfectly timed, unrehearsed, entertaining moment will come to mind and

The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com

we will be reminded of his quick wit and “jest� for life and smile.

Gary is preceded in death by his mother, Pat, and sisters Anita and Branwen.

He is survived by his father, Ernest (Anne), sisters Roberta, Angie, Gina, Canice, and stepsister Maggie; brothers Kevin (Kathi), Buck (Doreen), Nathan and Owen, and by his former wife Jen, 16 nieces and nephews, six great nieces and nephews, his very special aunt Joan, and all of her clan.

Being the magnetic personality he was, Gary leaves behind a lifetime of wonderful friends.

Gary’s family would like to thank his good friends Penny, Kelly, Boo Boo, Celia, Lynne, Chuck, Craig, Rhonda, Lisa and Steve for “being there�, especially during this past year.

And very much gratitude for the San Juan Island EMTs and Whatcom Hospice House.

A celebration of Gary’s life will be planned for this summer. As Gary would say, “It’s all good�. “For many blessings fate fleetingly engenders, with which eternity, child of time, gives final completeness.� — Family of Gary Pugh

f you tell Carl Blake that his channeling of Jimi Hendrix is over the top, he’ll take it as a compliment. The more he sticks out his tongue, or plays the guitar under his leg, the better. He and his ensemble, A Tribute To Jimi Hendrix, including his son Hunter, and B.C. Dolsen are among the tribute bands keeping the guitarist’s music alive and outrageous 40 years after his death.

Blake brings not only solid technique, ruffled shirts and high heeled boots, but also the moves that made Hendrix both an innovative musician and a memorable performer as well.

“To keep Jimmy Hendrix alive is an honor and to share it with young people who don’t know it is so important,” said Blake. “His music is an integral part of Americana… the blues are very unique to America and everyone should know it. It’s an integral part of our musical roots — just like everyone should know the Beatles.”

The group’s appearance on the Whittier stage Jan. 28, 7:30 p.m. opens their 2012 tour and features the late legendary guitarist’s hits from The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Band of Gypsies with songs like “Purple Haze,” “Hey Joe” and “All Along the Watchtower.”

years ago. After their Hendrix tunes stoked the crowd, they decided to form a group.

“To our surprise people would be mashing at our shows,” said Blake.

“It must mean we are on the right track.”

Then they started doing the same music at private parties and local festivals, and they plan to perform at casinos and larger venues later this year. In the tribute band business, Blake said there are not many groups taking on the challenge of performing Hendrix, mainly because it’s not easy to do.

“We’re not just a Hendrix tribute band, we’re diehard fans of the music and understand how important the music is,” said Blake. “As fans we understand what people are expecting and we work really hard to give what they are expecting and maybe even more.”

The band has spent 2,000 hours of session time perfecting the music and the moves.

Blake said as a group of classically trained musicians, their approach to playing Hendrix tunes is to not deviate from “Hendrix’s path.”

“If you’re given a chance to play the 9th Symphony you don’t take liberties,” Blake said. “And if you take a very iconic solo like “All along the Watch Tower” that goes a specific way, you play it note for note.”

The ‘art’ of business

SJC Arts Council looks at art in a new ways

Sunday, Jan 29

By Teddy Deane Special to Journal

Business is usually thought of as business and art is, well, not business. But now, consider the following quotes with introductions from Linda Naiman author of “CreativityatWork.comâ€?: “The business of the artist is to create, navigate opportunity, explore possibility, and master creative breakthrough. We need to restore art, the creation of opportunity, to business.â€? -Brandweek “Miha Pogacnik, a concert violinist argues: “The world of arts must be rescued out of the prison of entertainment and the world of business must be led out of the desert of dullness of meaningâ€?‌ Art is

a role model for business, since all great art pushes boundaries beyond the established norms.

The Harvard Business Review made the astonishing statement that an “MFA is the new MBAâ€? It reports that “Businesses are realizing that the only way to differentiate their goods and services in today’s overstocked, materially abundant marketplace is to make their offerings ‌ physically beautiful and emotionally compelling.â€?

In reviewing The Art of Business: Make All Your Work a Work of Art (Davis, 2005) Tom Peters commented: “We are entering an economy which will value a new way of looking at value creation. They call it moving from an emphasis on

‘economic flow� (input-output) to “artistic flow.� See yourself as an artist, see your work as a work of art, see your customers as an audience, see your competition as teachers.

Dan Pink, in his book “A Whole New Mind,� argues that left-brain analytical thinking is being replaced by right-brain empathy, inventiveness, and understanding as skills most needed by business. Pink points to Asia, automation, and abundance as the reasons behind the shift.

He says “Logical and precise, left-brain thinking gave us the Information Age. Now comes the Conceptual Age — ruled by artistry, empathy, and emotion.�

January wakes up gardening gene

By Jody Burns Special to the Journal

January: a new year, new resolutions — or maybe old resolutions promised again.

Even some colder temperatures to remind us that the calendar says winter.

For died in the wool gardeners, January wakes up the gardening gene. Seed catalogues are in the mail.

January sun brings hope.

Maybe we’ll have an early spring … a warm summer … a repeat of last fall’s gorgeous weather.

A miracle: red tomatoes instead of green ones.

Regardless of your green thumb status, it’s not too early to begin planning.

If you’re ordering seeds, start dreaming and ordering. Once the seeds are ordered, it’s time to think about bare root plants. The Native Plant Sale pre-order season is open.

There are some wonderful plants this year:

Pacific Rhododendron, Pacific Ninebark, Pacific Crabapple, and Red Flowering Currant.

These are all beautiful shrubs for your natural landscape.

Order forms are available at sanjuan.wsu.edu/mastergardeners/.

If you don’t have access to the Internet, call Washington State University Extension at 378-4414. Pick up of plants is March 24 on all three islands. Order early as many of these plants sell out quickly.

Not sure how to design the native plant landscape you’ve been dreaming about?

Help is on the way in April. The Master Gardener Spring Gardening Workshop will be April 21.

The workshop is a day full of gardening information, including an hour-long session led by Michael Budnick of Orcas Island on landscap-

ing with native plants.

Other sessions include water catchment, building hoop houses, fruit tree pruning, choosing disease resistant plants, vegetable gardening, flower arranging.

Something for everyone.

Graham Kerr, the famous Galloping Gourmet, will lead off the day with a conversation about kitchen gardens.

You’ll come away a gardening expert.

While you’re thinking about your own garden, the Master Gardeners and the Grange encourage you to think about folks who are experiencing hard times, and would love to have some fresh produce and fruit.

The San Juan Food Bank has been serving an increased number of people. It can use your monetary donations any time, but especially now.

The Master Gardeners have been donating pro-

duce grown in the Demonstration Garden to the Food Bank for four years—over 1,000 pounds alone this year.

Megan Jones, a member of the San Juan Grange and a master gardener is developing a program to make more fresh produce and fruit available to the Food Bank.

Perhaps you have a fruit tree that produces more fruit than you can pick and use. Your garden has more vegetables than you can preserve or cook.

Megan is organizing a group of gleaners to pick and deliver that extra fresh produce and fruit to the Food Bank this summer.

If you’re interested in talking about how to put your extra produce and fruit on the table of those in need instead of on the ground,

NOTICES Thanks to Rotary, more than 2 billion children have been immunized against polio.

email willowcrestfarm@ yahoo.com.

You’ll hear more about this program as the year progresses, but plan now to share the bounty of your landscape with those in need.

As always, the Master Gardeners are available at 378-4414 to answer all your gardening questions.

Get those Native Plant Sale Orders in and we’ll see you on April 21, 2012 at the Spring Gardening Workshop.

Snow adventures: San Juan style

Birth Clark Gabriel Klingsch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; born Dec. 4, 2011 Clark Gabriel Klingsch was born Dec. 4, 2011, 4-pounds, 8-ounces and 17-inches at 8:31 a.m.

Born at Island Hospital in Anacortes to parents, Bernadette Mizrahi, aka Bettie Wilde, owner of LUSH Hair and Nails, and Sascha Klingsch.

The baby was named after Supermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clark Kent, and although born premature, Clark has proved to be a little man of steel.

The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com

Sledding, skiing, tobogganing and building â&#x20AC;&#x153;snow chairs.â&#x20AC;? These are just a few of the activities islanders reported to the Journal last week, after eight inches of snowfall. On the mainland, conditions went from snow to ice, creating a storm that swept across the Washington and Oregon.

At the state capitol, Gov. Chris Gregoire declared a state of emergency, which allows activation of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Guard and for state agencies to take extraordinary steps to help out local jurisdictions.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a few images from islanders of snow on San Juan.
