Fired up over cargos of coal

BY COLLEEN SMITH ARMSTRONG Islands’ Sounder Editor/ Associate Publisher

Local waters could be used to ship millions of pounds of coal By Scott Rasmussen

It will be under the spotlight briefly at today’s meeting of the county Marine Resources Committee. But a proposal that could pave the way for millions of pounds of coal to be shipped from nearby Cherry Point — then through the waters of Haro and Rosario straits — on their way to places around the globe is gaining steam as a touchy topic in the San Juans. MRC Chairman Steve Ravella expects a broader discussion in the near future about the plans of a Seattle-based shipping and its bid to build an expanded cargo facility at Cherry Point. “It’s become a hot topic around the island,” Ravella said. “We’d like to pull together some kind of presentation with some information so we can learn more about it.” In the meantime, islanders can find out more about the plans of SSA Marine at one of three forums sponsored, however, by an opponent of the project, REsources of Bellingham. Cherry Point, a deepwater industrial port located near Ferndale, is roughly 15 miles west of Orcas Island. SSA Marine, which has a 7-year-old permit for a facility on

Limits on Navy sonar? ‘Friends’ joins lawsuit to protect whales, dolphins and more A coalition of conservation and American Indian groups have sued the National Marine Fisheries Service for failing to protect thousands of whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, and sea lions from U.S. Navy warfare training exercises along the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington. “These training exercises will harm dozens of protected species of marine mammals — Southern Resident killer whales, blue whales, humpback whales, dolphins, and porpoises — through the use of high-intensity mid-frequency sonar,” said Steve Mashuda, an Earthjustice attorney representing the groups. “The Fisheries Service fell down on the job and failed to require the Navy to take reasonable and effective actions to protect them.” Representing InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness

Council, Center for Biological Diversity, Friends of the Earth, Friends of the San Juans, Natural Resources Defense Council, and People For Puget Sound, Earthjustice filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court Jan. 26 for the District of Northern California, challenging NMFS’s approval of the Navy’s training activities in its Northwest Training Range Complex. The lawsuit calls on NMFS to mitigate anticipated harm to marine mammals and biologically critical areas within the training range that stretches from Northern California to the Canadian border. The Navy uses a vast area of the West Coast for training activities, including anti-submarine warfare exercises involving tracking aircraft and sonar; surface-to-air gunnery and missile exercises; air-to-surface bombing exercises; sink exercises; and extensive testing for several new weapons systems. The Navy’s mid-frequency sonar has been implicated in mass strandings of marine mammals in, See SONAR, Page 4

It’s a slow climb, but steady wins the race. The Northwest Multiple Listing Service tallied 56,290 closed sales of single family homes and condominiums during 2011, improving on 2010’s volume by 4,290 transactions for a 7.4 percent increase. Last year’s completed sales included 48,952 single family homes (up 7 percent from 2010) and 7,338 condominiums (an increase of more than 10 percent from 2009). Together, these sales were valued at more than $16.7 billion, about $900 million less than the previous year (a decline of 5.1 percent). Northwest Multiple Listing See REAL ESTATE, Page 4

A San Juan Island man accused of selling cocaine and methamphetamine to an informant working with the Sheriff ’s Department is slated to stand trial on four felony drug-related charges in mid-March. On Jan. 23, Jason Charles Bell, 32, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to four counts of delivery of a controlled substance, a Class B felony. Bail was set at $10,000 pending trial, which is slated to begin March 19. According to court docu-

ments, Bell allegedly twice sold cocaine and twice sold methamphetamine to an informant working with the Sheriff ’s detectives in September. Quantities and price weren’t unlisted in charging documents filed in court. He is the second San Juan Island man arrested on drug trafficking charges since the start of the new year. Christopher Faylor, 18, faces four drug-related felonies as well. “The arrest is the result of a several month inves-

tigation by Sheriff ’s detectives into trafficking of illicit drugs in our island communities,� Sheriff Rob Nou said in a prepared statement released on the heels of Bell’s arrest. “The Sheriff ’s Office will continue to work tirelessly to hold those responsible for supplying these destructive substances to our community accountable.� No stranger to local authorities, Bell was apprehended without incident Friday, Jan. 20, after a warrant in which his alleged

drug trafficking activity is detailed had been issued for arrest. According to court documents, he was arrested in 2008 on drug-related charges in Snohomish County, convicted of meth possession in San Juan County in 2008 as well, and arrested a year ago in Skagit County for possession of meth. In addition, authorities note that Bell has failed four times in the past — with criminal charges pending — to appear in a San Juan County courtroom.

Those absences resulted in five arrest warrants and four subsequent arrests. A Class B felony, delivery of an controlled substance, such as cocaine or methamphetamine, carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both. Because of his criminal history, Bell, if convicted, would face a minimum of 20 months in prison, and a maximum of 60 months, under sentencing guidelines set by the state. — Scott Rasmussen

Site inspections have begun on real property in San Juan County's 2012 appraisal area, which includes north Lopez, Shaw, Decatur, Blakely, Center and Frost islands. Additional site visits may be made to parcels enrolled in county "open space" programs, such as Current Use, Open Space and Designated Forest Land. Such visits will be made by a specialist to ensure that property owners comply with provisions of these special tax classifications. For properties outside the 2012 appraisal area, the county assessor's office will adjust property values annually to reflect market value, beginning with 2012 assessments for the 2013 tax year. Site visits will occur once every six years rather than once every three or four years, as in the past. Appraisers will use these visits to conduct a comprehensive and thorough inspection, knowing that six years will elapse before the next inspection, according to Assessor Charles Zalmanek. "The assessor's staff will make every effort to be as

unobtrusive as possible while conducting these site inspections," Zalmanek said in a statement about changes in assessments. "Although on a tight schedule, they always welcome the opportunity to talk with owners about their property, the neighborhood and information which may have a bearing on market values."

Tagging of orcas raises concern Federal biologists plan to tag up to six southern resident orcas next month with tiny satellite devices to discover their range of habitat in winter months. Surveys have shown the animals can travel as far south as Monterey, Calif., and as far as the north coast of British Columbia during winter. Researchers will use a cross bow or air gun to shoot the dart tags, which have two barbs about 6 centimeters long. The tags provide information for between 16 and 94 days and usually fall off as the whales swim, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Service officials say. Killer whale experts on San Juan are concerned that the darts could injure the orcas. Ken Balcomb, senior scientist with the Center for Whale Research, applied for a federal permit in 2008 to tag the Puget Sound orcas because at the time he believed the devices were not harmful. He received federal approval in 2009, but later declined to tag any orcas after following orcas that had been darted by the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Balcomb determined that the tags caused swelling and extruding tissues in certain cases. Balcomb and other orca advocates have questioned whether the benefits of tagging were worth harming the orcas, whose population now stands at 89. Officials at The Whale Museum advocated more passive measures to track the whales, such as listening to their distinctive sounds, visual observation, and teaming up with other researchers. In a comment letter, they said NOAA has spent thousands of dollars on surveys that found the whales in shallow waters of the West Coast, but little has been done to protect them from naval warfare training in the area. “Therefore, we cannot see a compelling need to use an invasive technique to show similar data trends when the existing data observations were not used, or were not adequate, to take conservation measures that would have prevented potential impact to whales in areas and times of the year when they have been demonstrated to use the area,� they wrote.

among other places, the Bahamas, Greece, the Canary Islands, and Spain. In 2004, during war games near Hawaii, the Navy’s sonar was implicated in a mass beaching of up to 200 melonheaded whales in Hanalei Bay. In 2003, the USS Shoup, operating in Washington’s Haro Strait, exposed a group of endangered Southern Resident killer whales to mid-frequency sonar, causing the animals to stop feeding and attempt to flee. “In 2003, NMFS learned firsthand the harmful impacts of Navy sonar in Washington waters when active sonar blasts distressed members of J pod, one of our resident pods of endangered orcas,� said Kyle Loring, staff attorney for Friends of the San Juans. “Given this history, it is particularly distressing that NMFS approved the Navy’s use of deafening noises in areas where whales and dol-

phins use their acute hearing to feed, navigate, and raise their young, even in designated sanctuaries and marine reserves.� In 2010, NMFS gave the Navy a five-year permit for expanded naval activity that will harm or “take� marine mammals and other sealife. The permit allows the Navy to conduct increased training exercises that can harm marine mammals and disrupt their migration, nursing, breeding, or feeding, primarily as a result of harassment through exposure to the use of sonar. “Both NMFS and the Navy have failed in their obligations to conduct government-to-government consultation with the Sinkyone Council and its member Tribes regarding project impacts,� said Priscilla Hunter, chairwoman and co-founder of the InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council. The litigation is not intended to halt the Navy’s exercises, but asks the court to require NMFS to reassess the permits using the latest science and to order the Navy to stay out of biologically critical areas at least at certain times of the year. Marcie Keever of Friends of the Earth noted, “NMFS has failed in its duty to assure that the Navy is not pushing the whales closer to extinction.�

Wolverines roll in back-to-back wins Payback time: F.H. faces undefeated La Conner, Friday, on the road; 6 p.m. The Wolverines warmed up for their upcoming post-season run with a pair of lopsided wins and by leaving two league opponents in the dust. Junior low-post player Collin Williamson netted a team-high 24 points and Donald Galt and Otis Cooper-West combined for another 23, as Friday Harbor grabbed an early lead and never looked back in a runaway 64-17 victory, Friday, at home over Shoreline Christian. Feasting on the generosity of a turnoverprone Crusaders squad, the Wolverines (8-2 league, 12-4 overall) jumped out to a 18-8 advantage after the first period and led by

20 points, 37-17, at the half. The Wolverines, substituting liberally down the stretch, played the Crusaders to a standstill over the final two quarters of regulation. Shoreline Christian’s Brooks Drollinger tossed in 26 points to lead all scorers, but no other player on the Crusaders squad managed to score in double-digits by the end of regulation. With the loss, the Crusaders (7-3 league, 9-6) saw their shot at the league title disappear. Earlier in the week, the Wolverines proved even more efficient in dispatching an out matched Mount Vernon Christian squad on the road. Friday Harbor led 43-8 at the half and were never tested after the break in a 75-20 lopsided rout of the Hurricanes (1-10 league, 2-15 overall). Galt tossed in a game-high 24 points, sophomore C. J. Woods added 11 and

Williamson contributed 10 to the team total. Ten Wolverines put points on the board as the team swept its two-game season series against the Hurricanes, who were without a single player in double digits on the offensive end.

They upped the intensity on the defensive end in the second half, erased a four-point halftime deficit and outscored Shoreline Christian down the stretch to bag a 48-37 victory at home Friday. “They were the same kind of game,� Head Coach Eric Jangard said. “They both had one girl who ate us up on the offensive end, but we were able to shut them down in the fourth

OPINION Letters to the Editor

Martha’s Vineyard here we come Islanders say they don’t want the San Juans to become a Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket Island; retreats mostly for the very wealthy. These East Coast islands used to have working economies based on fishing; and a long time ago, whaling. They were self sufficient middle class communities with small farms, shops, tradesman, home and boat builders, fisherman and a few summer homes. Then came the wellintentioned folks from off-island who decided the islands were a treasure that needed to be “saved,” and saved they are ... all except for the seafarers, real farms, real shops, tradesman and builders — the folks who had “saved” the island’s culture and environment up to the landing of the new arrivals. The working middle class was squeezed out when hired professional planners and timid local officials enacted their restrictive regulations. Rules intended to “save the islands” made the existence of working families and a balanced economy untenable. The San Juan Islands may have already turned the corner toward becoming the West Coast versions of these East Coast “saved” islands. For sure, the latest regulations, called the critical areas ordinance and the new Shoreline Master

Program will further grease the skids. Nearly every home and property in the islands will be encumbered by new county permitting restrictions. Under the general section of the CAO passed Jan. 24, and which will be final later this year, if you disturb the soil, cut brush, you need to get the county’s permission first. One can’t make this stuff up. It is truly a sad situation for the long-time residents who loved the dynamic community we used to have ... to now see it disappearing. It is ironic that the apparently well-intentioned council elected officials and the citizen-paid “professional planners” are the instrument for the destruction of our exceptional San Juan Islands’ communities. It is even sadder how few islanders are concerned enough to rise up and object. John Evans Orcas Island

So very grateful to live here I’ve lived many places in my life and I am so grateful to have landed here. Last summer I was diagnosed with metastatic (stage IV) breast cancer. I was frightened and very concerned about how I could cope living alone on an island. My family and friends off-island counseled me to re-locate, at least temporarily. I’m glad I didn’t. As soon as word spread,

the support and information I received from “islanders” was overwhelming. Soroptimists provided much needed ferry tickets. Food and nutritional advice were made available thanks to Barbara Marrett, Binney Haenal, Linda LoBue, Steve Smith, Jeff Altman, Greg and Carol Ford, Hobbes Buchanan, and the Friday Harbor school district’s Food for Thought program. My alternative health team of Sandy Richard, Pat Gislasen, and Teri Gentry came on board keeping the aches and pains and much more at bay. Paul Hopkins and Binney Haenel kept me exercising and, very importantly, oxygenating my system. I’ve had time off thanks to the great staff of the San Juan Island School District and great incentive to get back into the classroom due to the encouragement and kind words from my current and former students and their parents. I’ve had wood heat for my home thanks to Darrin Scheffer, the Ochoa-Garcia family, Kevin Roth and my neighbors, Jeff Altman and Bob Freeauf. I can’t thank Melanie Cope and Isabel Gabriel enough. These are the two young women who, through the Friday Harbor High School Soroptimist Club, spearheaded the fundraiser for me. Through the guidance of Debbie and Dave Staehlin they pulled-off an amazing event. Finally, I thank my community as a whole. You have embraced me, prayed for me, and wished me well throughout this

and community service projects, with their efforts encouraged and supported by teachers and staff. The two major purposes of this 2012 levy are essential for our schools: repair of the 25-year-old elementary school and upgraded technology so graduates will be prepared for college, technical school and the job market. Special levies have been necessary for many years because state funding of public education has been — and is — inadequate. Our community has shown strong support for levies in the past and I urge you to vote for this levy.

Editorial

Continued from page 6

Vote yes on school levy As proposals go, it’s certainly ambitious. One could question its scope and timing. One could also argue that it’s not 100 percent bullet proof. It calls for $48,000 in repair and upgrade of the Stuart Island school facility. Enrollment? Two, and one teacher. Still, we feel that the renewal of San Juan Island School District’s capital and technology levy at an increased amount — nearly double the previous four-year levy it would replace — is a proposal worthy of our support. We encourage you to vote for it too. Ballots must be received by the county Elections office or postmarked by Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day. The buildings and facilities of San Juan’s public schools are not unlike those of any other business, home or government agency, except for more wear and tear. They require maintenance and sometimes are in need of repair, remodel or upgrade to function as they should. It may be prudent for a household to put off fixing a nagging problem, or to postpone investing in the latest technology, such as computer systems, for a better day. The same can’t be said for San Juan Island’s public schools. Our children move from one grade to the next and then advance into adulthood regardless of the prevailing economic climate. This community’s obligation should be to provide them with the best tools possible and the best chance to succeed. Nearly $1 million of the $3.7 million levy request will be used to improve classroom technology. Another $1.5 million is earmarked for retrofit of the 25-year-old elementary school and its leaky roof. And in terms of dollars and sense, San Juan property owners will pay less in local support for its public schools even with an increase in the capital and technology levy. That’s because payments on a multi-million dollar bond, approved in the mid-90s, are done. The savings equate to roughly 22 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, beginning in 2013. There’s also the benefits that come from any local construction project. We’re satisfied the proposal deserves our support.

For the Record ■ The prosecuting attorney’s 2012 budget is $1,149,000; roughly $929K from the county general fund and $220K in outside grants. The total was listed incorrectly in the Journal’s Jan. 25 editorial: “A costly cut?”, pg. 6 ■

dishwashing and so much more. We have a mascot in little Dani McKay, who also helped with the dish washing. Special thanks to Shannon Plummer for stepping up as auctioneer with little notice. He is a wonderful auctioneer. I am indebted to you, Shannon. The businesses who donated the many items and certificates speaks so much about our community and the sense of family that is present. So thank you for your generousness. The Opa Band volunteered to play at the event as well, many thanks for that terrific entertainment. Thank you to the many Soroptimist who volunteered to supply desserts. They were yummy. Thank you to the community who braved the cold to attend the event. Most of all, I want to thank “my kids” in the S-Club. I say my kids but the real credit for these intelligent, hard working kids is due to their parents. So thank you parents for lending me your kids. They are truly awesome. Debbi Staehlin San Juan Island

Support for levy, but ‘mailer’ flops I will be voting in favor of the new school levy next month because I used to be a teacher and I know the importance of a good education. Unlike some people in our county, I am more than willing to pay increased taxes to support necessary services. However, there is little on the informative yellow sheet that the San Juan Island School District mailed out to convince me to vote for this levy, were I not inclined to do so already. The school district is asking for an 80 percent increase in the revenue, but as justification for the massive infusion of funds they cite such vague costs as “repairs to Friday Harbor Elementary School built in 1986,” and “major repairs, renovations and improvements needed to maintain” our “school buildings and equipment.” Sorry, folks at the school district, but this is way too vague for me. Why is Friday Harbor Elementary School having yet more major structural problems? Does the roof need replacing yet again, and if so, what assurance do we have that a new

roof would last more than a few years? Are we supposed to think that 25 years is a ripe old age for any school building, which is then justified in requiring repeated and massive amounts of funds to remain standing after that age? Schools used to be constructed better than that. Maybe the bid and build process needs improvement. Next time, please give us figures for the costs of these vague projects. Exactly how much would go to support student publishing and for fine arts, for example? Break the $940,750 down so that we can see exactly where the funds would go, and don’t be shy about this. Your vagueness leaves me thinking that you have a lot to hide. Rita O’Clair San Juan Island — Editor’s note: for an itemized list of expenditures, go to the district’s website: www.sjisd.wednet.edu/site/ default.aspx?PageID=1.

Teachers, staff support levy On Feb. 14, the voters of San Juan Island will be asked to support a capital improvement and technology levy for the San Juan Island School District. The members of the local teachers union (San Juan Island Educators’ Association) and the members of the union that represents classified staff (PSE) would like the voters of San Juan Island to know that we support this levy and urge you to vote “Yes” to secure these very needed funds. We feel it is important for the voters to understand that this levy, in essence, is a replacement levy for levies that were passed in 2005 and in 2008 and which have now expired. It is also important to understand that two bond measures which impacted local school tax rates from 1998 to the fall of 2011 have now been paid off. Therefore, even with the increase in the amount of tax money requested by this new levy, most taxpayers should see a decrease in their local school tax rate from the rate of fall 2010. There is always debate about who should pay for what, and which expenditures are necessary. The bottom line is the state of Washington provides money to pay staff and to keep schools functioning. It does not provide funds

to keep our schools maintained and in good repair, nor does it buy us computers or repair our old ones. That task falls to all of us here on San Juan Island. We feel the funds requested by this levy will pay for very legitimate needs, and we ask you to vote “Yes” on Feb. 14. Thank you.

CAO: unintended may matter most As I read the 51 pages of the Community Development and Planning staff report and proposed CAO ordinance general regulations the other night, I broke out in a cold sweat trying to wrap my mind around the complexity of these regulations and restrictions. I am no slouch when it comes to critical analysis and unraveling complex issues, but I have trouble finding the time to keep up with these proposed regulations, much less predicting the impact they will have on our community. San Juan County already has extensive development regulations to protect critical areas and my greatest fear if these additional restrictions are enacted is the “law of unintended consequences”. For example, our county has done a fine job of supporting and encouraging the development of local farms so that we all have access to fresh, safe foods grown in a sustainable manner that preserves the integrity of our land. I know something about this because my husband and I own and operate a small farm on San Juan Island. Yet, if these onerous regulations are adopted by our County Council, farmers may not be able to clear dead trees and debris so that crops can be planted. Orchards may not be allowed. Local farmers may not be able to stay in business. I doubt that is the intent, but that could be the outcome. The voluntary stewardship program is a nod toward addressing the particular issue of agricultural land, but if you read the background documents they are vague, undefined and strike me as an additional layer of oversight at a cost to taxpayers (us) and farmers. In any case, farm land is just one example of what could go wrong with these good intentions. I don’t think the county council has considered or can predict the impact these added restrictions will have on the viability of our community. So beware the law of unintended consequences, and

if you think these changes won’t affect you because you don’t have a waterfront home … think again. Pay attention to what is being proposed and let your voice be heard. Call or write your county council person today. Peg Gerlock San Juan Island

Students need tools to prosper I’m voting ‘Yes’ to support the capital and technology levy of the San Juan Island School District. After reviewing the website list of technology and building needs, especially at the elementary school, it’s clear a majority of the funds will go for normal maintenance: a new roof, better fire suppression and alarm systems, new ventilation and heating systems, bathroom repairs, new exterior windows, etc. After 25 years of intensive use, the elementary school is like any other commercial building, it needs replacement of its critical parts. If we don’t support the protection of these assets with proper maintenance, then our children will suffer from both inadequate classrooms and from compromised teachers, as money is moved from general operations to cover necessary or emergency repairs. I’ve had the pleasure of twice working as a volunteer in the elementary school lately. What a pleasure it is to enjoy the competency and energy of other volunteers, mostly parents, and the paid staff. It takes only a little direct experience to realize these parents are committed, unpaid workers because teachers and staff are committed professionals. It’s reciprocal. Involved parents are the best indicator of a healthy school; this district has hundreds of parents giving their time. A good basic education (K-12) with inspired teachers, appropriate space and the right technology is critical if we want our children and society to prosper in the 21st Century. Technology needs upgrades just like the buildings do to remain useful. No business can prosper in a changing market without modern tools and a good place to use them — our school district is no different. Please vote to help our children continue to be good students — vote ‘Yes’ for the capital and technology levy. David Zeretzke Friday Harbor

Rebuttal: budget cuts — penny wise, or pound foolish? Law enforcement must have the money, resources and tools to further the cause of justice By Sheriff Rob Nou

I am distressed that the Editorial staff would conclude that criminal justice spending is excessive or disproportionate in San Juan County, or that cuts in the Sheriff ’s Office or Prosecuting Attorney’s Office are inconsequential. The editorial (“A costly cut?�; Jan. 25, pg. 6) cites

spending in Jefferson, Pacific and Skamania counties in comparison to San Juan County. The safety and quality of life in the islands is attractive for residents and visitors alike. Our tourism based economy depends on these factors in marketing the San Juan Islands as a desirable destination to visit, to play

We are not immune from crime, and must make the investment in our criminal justice resources to protect what we cherish and hold dear. Policing San Juan County is different than the mainland.

troopers here. And the Sheriff ’s Office has its sworn staff, currently 19 officers, deployed on three different islands, serving a population of 16,500. All of the counties compared in the editorial have additional resources. The Pacific County Sheriff has 18 sworn officers, also in Pacific County, city police departments in Long Beach, Raymond, Shoalwater, and South Bend, along with the Washington State Patrol. Total number of sworn officers serving in Pacific County: 45 for a population of 22,100. The Skamania County Sheriff has 22 sworn officers, along with three WSP troopers. 25 officers serving 10,900 people.

Skamania counties, officers can drive across the county 24/7 to help one another, regardless of employing agency or jurisdictional boundaries. San Juan County, deputies drive to the patrol boat, boat to the other island where they are needed (weather permitting), and then figure out how to get to the scene. According to figures from the State Auditor, Jefferson County spends 63 percent of its general fund budget on law and justice — $7.9 million of $12.4 million. Pacific County spends 66 percent on law and justice ($4.7M of $7.1M). Skamania County spends 45 percent on Law and Justice ($5.7M of $12.5M). San Juan County’s law and justice rate is the lowest of the 39 counties in Washington, just 37 percent ($5.4M of $14.3M). Looking at crime rates in those counties, what is the return on that law and justice investment? As compiled by the state for Uniform Crime Reporting, Jefferson County has 21.4 index crimes reported per 1,000 population; 19.8 property crimes, 1.6 violent crimes. Pacific County reports 31.0 index crimes per 1,000; 1.6 violent crimes, 29.5 property crimes. Skamania County, 21.3 index crimes per 1,000; 0.9 violent crimes, 20.4 property crimes. San Juan County’s index crime rate is 12.2 per 1,000; 0.8 violent crimes and 11.4

property crimes. This shows that your criminal justice system here in San Juan County is effective and cost efficient. Looking at all of Washington state, sworn officer numbers are declining. From a five-year high of 1.62 officers per 1,000 population served in 2008, the average has dropped in 2010 to 1.49 officers per 1,000 served. San Juan County — currently 1.15 officers per 1,000, 23 percent below the state average. How does a single vacancy affect us? Simple math indicates it’s a 5 percent cut. But it depends what island the vacancy is on. On Orcas, where the current vacancy exists, it represents a 20 percent cut in the patrol force on Orcas Island. Finally, the criminal justice system needs to be “in balance� in order to function effectively. Law enforcement, prosecution, courts, juvenile services, corrections and parole and probation must have the resources to function in an expeditious and effective manner to further the cause of “justice.� Cutting law enforcement and prosecution may be penny wise, but here it is absolutely pound foolish. We are not asking for more, only to keep what we have so as a community we can keep the way of life that we all cherish.

12-minute celebrations at the 2012 Islands Playwrights Festival

riting plays is the cheapest form of therapy there is, according to Greg Sutherland. He should know because he’s written at least six plays in the last seven years. “When you’re writing and trying to process thoughts, feelings and emotions sometimes you don’t fully understand them until they’re on paper,” Sutherland said. “It’s a way to access those feelings.” His play “the edge of the map” about the video game, Kinect, working as a catalyst for life-changing decisions in a relationship, is one of six plays selected out of 13 entries for the upcoming 2012 Islands Playwrights Festival running at various times from Feb. 3 - 18 at the Gubleman Theatre. And all the shows are 12 minutes locally written, directed and performed. This year, selected plays share the theme of “Celebrations.” and will be performed with a simple set of two chairs, one bookcase, a table and small couch to emphasize the scripts rather than the stage, said Jane Maxwell Campbell, the festival’s coordinator. The up close and personal plays are connected through the broad theme of celebration, but Maxwell Campbell said the diversity of different topics is what makes the festival wonderful, that and the lightness. “We could all use a celebration as we make our way through the dark winter and deep snow,” said From top to bottom, “Six and Counting,” featuring from left to right, Lisa Hill, Kristi Jacoby and Lucy Marinkovich. Jan Zurcher author of the play “Love (At First Sight) Takes Time.” “the edge of the map” features Noah Anderson.

Maxwell Campbell.”It’s nice to have a comedy.” Maxwell Campbell added that she doesn’t see any disadvantages to the sparse set, but it provides an extra challenge to the actors and writers — one that they have taken in stride. Rather then defining it as an advantage, Sutherland calls the set and time limitations an exercise, “it’s like giving us a sandbox and telling us to create a sandcastle in the sand, the set is the perimeter, the edge of the sandbox.” Writing a 12-minute musical was a challenge for Jan Zurcher, but it was easier than the writing of a 10-minute show, which was her task last year. “Now we have two extra minutes,” Jan Zurcher said with a laugh about

They’re used to collaborating after producing several children’s books, and creating a children’s puppet show that ran on Canadian television. Since moving to San Juan they have performed the puppet show at local venues like the library. As a veteran writer she said that there are more similarities between writing a song and writing a play then what people might assume. “Song lyrics should have a story and have a messenger to tell the story,” said Jan Zurcher. “They have the same structure needed to pull everything together.” This year’s musical “Love (At First Sight) Takes Time” will also be Jim Zurcher’s directing debut. He worked on his wife’s play last year with Ed Wilson to learn the art of directing. He is also the author of a play, which will be performed during the festival. “For Heaven’s Sake,” which follows the main characters’ arrival for his entrance into 2012 Islands Playwrights Festival heaven and his discovery of Gubelman Theatre something much different Friday-Saturday, Feb. 3-4, 7:30 p.m. than what he imagined.

The Italian opera follows Idomeneo, King of Crete, as he returns victorious from the battle of Troy, but along the way he encounters a terrible storm and his ship is almost lost. When he vows to sacrifice the next person he sees to Neptune, the god saves his life.

Tragically, it is his own son, Idamante, he first encounters. Mozart’s beautiful music paints an exquisite picture of a father torn between his love for his son and a sacred vow made to a god. Since 2002, Rumph has taught courses on Mozart, Beethoven, FaurÊ, Bach, Verdi, Wagner, music and politics, opera, rhetoric, and semiotics at the University of Washington. He has sung with the Seattle Symphony, Spokane Symphony, Walla Walla Symphony, Northwest

Rory Curtiss VanHyning: 1977 — 2012 Rory Curtiss VanHyning, born May 3, 1977, was in this day of technology and indifference, a Renaissance man. He believed in old-fashioned values such as friendship, loyalty, integrity and compassion. He loved words and expressed himself with a vivid vocabulary that often seemed at odds with modern sensibilities, but he refused to compromise his standards and was always striving to expand his boundaries. He was an avid fan of motion pictures, and had an almost

He also loved history and was an ardent student of the American Civil War period. The photo shown here was Rory’s senior high school class picture, which truly represents the man Rory would become — dramatic, seriously committed, and thoroughly immersed in Rory VanHyning things that interested him. Rory joined the United States Navy in 1999 and was stationed in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and later at the NATO base in Reykjavik, Iceland, becoming a journalist, radio announcer and later a news reporter. He was very proud of his service to his country,

but his love for the Northwest and his family brought him home at the end of his five-year enlistment. He was accepted into the Morrow School of Broadcasting at WSU and worked briefly for the Northwest Public Radio station based on campus. After graduation in May of 2006, Rory went to work as a radio reporter based in Moscow, Idaho. He later became the news director and enjoyed interviewing local politicians, community leaders and state officials. He was known on air as Rory Curtiss, and privately his family affectionately called him “The Voice of the Palouse�. In September of 2011, Rory accepted a job at KXLY News Radio 920. He was the producer of the early morning radio news show. On Jan. 12, 2012, Rory left this world, leaving behind parents, Curtiss and Robin VanHyning of Friday Harbor, and Memory and David Blodgett of Spokane, Wash.; three step brothers: Ryan (Marjorie-Ann Faucher) Blodgett of Greenville, SC., Scott (Julie) Blodgett of Boise, Idaho, and Kevin Blodgett of Spokane, and a stepsister, Rachel Patterson of Friday Harbor. He also was dearly loved by his grandfather, Jim McAnally of Pasadena, Texas, his aunt Susan (Larry) Tomson, and a very long list of relatives and friends. — Family of Rory VanHyning
