CRC plan sparks dissent
Back against the wall By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
Recommended fix for charter draws criticism of former freeholders By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
As surely as the tide flows in and out of Friday Harbor, opposition is gathering to recommendations endorsed by the Charter Revision Commission. On July 10, an unenthusiastic San Juan County Council “received” – but would not “accept” – the report of the Charter Revision Commission, which proposes to scrap the six-member council and return control of the county to a three-member council, which would be responsible for executive functions by utilizing a “county manager” in place of the present county administrator. The changes recommended by the CRC were denounced by former freeholder Charlie Bodenstab, who criticized both the process by which the commission conducted its review and its conclusions. Bodenstab suggested that two CRC members, both former freeholders, “had an agenda” to essentially repeal elements of the charter with which they disagreed and that the commission “blew the opportunity to fine-tune the

Friday the 13th surprise Lightning strikes knock out power, cause minimal damage By Steve Wehrly
Journal reporter
Friday the 13th was a bad day for one tree on Lopez, and Lopez Fire Chief Jim Ghiglione didn’t get much sleep that night. But camera buffs and sky watchers were treated to a rare light show from back-to-back nights of thunder and lightning over the San Juans. The exploded tree and a small fire on Turtleback Mountain on Orcas were the only major problems caused by two electrical storms that filled the skies with an untold number of lightning bolts that struck before dawn Friday to early Saturday morning. Some 10,500 households and businesses were without power across the county, although many turned to backup generators, public safety and community service facilities in particular, to
keep the power on. Checking Lopez generators, especially those at the medical clinic and pharmacy, where vaccines and other medicines are stored, kept Ghiglione up until power was restored. “That’s just part of my job,” said Ghiglione — although he said he would have preferred not having to respond to an aid call at 5 a.m. the same morning. The “big one” occurred at 8:46 p.m. Friday at Puget Sound Energy’s Burrows Bay substation on Fidalgo Island, reportedly from a lightning strike near the substation, which transmits all the power for the San Juans. According to Orcas Power and Light Cooperative, power was restored at 2:50 a.m. Saturday, just about the time the lightning stopped. Two other outages occurred Friday evening and again Saturday morning in the Cape San Juan area, both apparently the result of one lightning strike on a home in the area. A memorable weekend, perhaps, but presumably no ruined vacations.

It is not a matter of whether there will or won’t be. It’s more of a matter of how deeply San Juan County officials will be forced to cut in the year ahead. Faced with an anticipated revenue shortfall of $3.6 million over the next three years, County Councilman Rich Peterson last week acknowledged that some degree of workforce cuts will need to be made even if voters approve the public safety sales tax measure that will be on the Aug. 7 primary election ballot. It simply gets worse should the measure fail, he said. “If the public safety sales tax doesn’t pass, nothing is safe,” Peterson said. “If it does pass, See BUDGET, Page 2

Rape charges leveled against Orcas man in aftermath of alleged assault By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
An Orcas Island man accused of a violent attack on a live-in girlfriend is slated to stand trial in late September on seven criminal charges, including two
counts of second-degree rape, a Class A felony. On July 6, Frederick Elden Hardtke, 52, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to two counts of seconddegree rape by force, two

counts of second-degree assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of fourthdegree assault, a gross misdemeanor, and one count of third-degree malicious mischief. Bail was set at $15,000, pending a Sept. 24 trial date. According to court documents, prosecutors claim that Hardkte brutalized and threatened the woman with various firearms over a two-day period after an early afternoon dispute at their Eastsound home escalated into an altercation. Authorities allege that the threats and attacks began after Hardtke, who reportedly was intoxicated at the time, snatched a cellphone out of the woman’s hand, smashed it on the floor, and then grabbed and fiercely twisted one of her arms, while at the same time threatening her with a handgun. Authorities claim that he continued to threaten the woman with firearms throughout the night and
the following day, and sexually assaulted her twice within that time frame as well. On the second day of the alleged attack, after Hardtke was lured away from the home by the woman’s adult daughter, she notified authorities of the assault and was escorted from the home and to the Sheriff department’s Eastsound office, where she gave a deputy a detailed account of the alleged attack. Hardtke was taken into custody July 27, shortly before noon, following a brief struggle with three deputies, in which he was subdued by a taser, outside his home, according to court records. A Class A felony, second-degree rape by force carries maximum penalties of life in prison, a $50,000 fine, or both. Assault in the second degree, a Class B felony, carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both.

BUDGET:
Continued from page 1 we’ve still got problems.” Billed on the primary ballot as Prop. 1, the public safety sales tax measure, if approved, would increase the local sales tax amount by 3/10 of one percent, from its current level of 7.8 percent, among the lowest in the state, to 8.1 percent. Excluded from the increase would be most groceries, professional services and prescription drugs. The increase is anticipated to generate roughly $1 million a year in new revenue, 40 percent of which would be distributed, by law, to the Town of Friday Harbor. Also under state law, proceeds from the sales tax increase are intended exclusively for government services that fall into the category of public safety, such law enforcement, health or road safety projects. Sheriff Rob Nou said that his department is already stretched thin in providing 24-hour coverage, seven days a week, on multiple islands. He noted the department has no city police force or neighboring agency to rely on as backup.

He said the department may pass the tipping point in its ability to enforce and protect it jettisons more jobs. “At some point we will lose that sense of safety and security, and once lost, I don’t think you can ever spend your way out of that,” he said. According to county interim Administrator Bob Jean, expenses are expected to outstrip revenue by roughly $800,000 if the county maintains the same level of service and employees in 2013. The shortfall would rise to $3.6 million over the next three years, Jean said. “If the public safety sales tax is approved, we can protect the sheriff ’s department and the criminal section of the prosecutor’s office from cuts,” he said. “Otherwise, after going through five years of budget cutting, there aren’t enough other places left where we can cut.” According to Jean, 14 jobs would need to be eliminated if Prop. 1 fails, and seven would still need to be cut even if it passes. Roughly 43 percent of the county general fund pays for law and justice programs. Of the 2013 total, $16.8 million, only $7.8 million come from local funding sources, such as sales tax. About 50 percent of general fund revenue is legally either earmarked for a specific use, generated by fees, or are retracted by grants or by matching funds, and cannot used to offset a shortfall in local revenue. Councilman Richard Fralick, a member of the council budget subcommittee, said the county needs to make structural changes in the way it delivers services. Fralick said the county cannot overcome the combination of inflation and shrinking revenue by trimming a job or two here. “You do reach a point when you have to say this is not a short term trend,” he said. “You have to get to a point where projected revenue and expenses match, and the only way to do that is to make structural changes.”

Paving of Tucker tops town road ‘wish list’ Administrator contends ‘money can be found’ for $1.4 million project, slated to begin in 2015 By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
Road projects occupied parts of the afternoon and evening agendas of the July 5 Friday Harbor Town Council meeting. Funding for the projects remains a work in progress, however. The council tentatively approved a $20,000 request from the Port of Friday Harbor to share the cost of
a curb-and-sidewalk project on the west side of Mullis Street, between the Port’s planned pilot’s visitor center and the present sidewalk some 300 feet up the street. Before formal approval, the council asked for an estimate of town engineering costs for the project, which the Port plans to fund from the Public Facilities Financing Assistance Program, now nearing
approval by the County Council. At the early evening session, the council reviewed a six-year local transportation improvement program prepared annually for the Washington state Transportation Improvement Board. The first project on the wish list is repaving Tucker Avenue from Guard Street to University Way, including new curbs and sidewalks. Planning would be completed in 2014, with construction scheduled for 2015. The $1,450,000 project is one of eleven road projects which might be funded during the next six years. Other projects
Spec’s ready for future lease of SJ transfer station Proposals accepted, beginning July 18 If you’ve been longing to run the solid waste transfer station on San Juan Island, here’s your chance. Beginning today, July 18, San Juan County will accept proposals to lease the transfer station on Sutton Road. The property that will be put up for lease to a qualified vendor — expected to provide some solid waste disposal services — includes both the town-owned site which is now used for selfhaul and an adjacent, undeveloped property owned by the county. The County Council approved a “request for proposals” July 10 that outlines qualifications and experience applicants must have. The RFP also lists the variety of services, proposed improvements, costs to the public, number of local jobs created, as well as outlining the financial capacity those seeking to
lease the transfer station should have. Based on interest in the RFP for the Orcas Island transfer station, Public Works Director Frank Mulcahy is optimistic that the San Juan Island site will draw a number of proposals from qualified applicants as well. “We have been pleased with the response so far to the RFP we issued for the Orcas solid waste facility, so we are optimistic about finding a qualified lessor to provide services on San Juan Island,” Mulcahy said in a press release. Any vendor leasing the San Juan site would have the option to keep self-haul operating as it is now for up to a year after a contract is signed. State health regulations require that solid waste is disposed of at appropriate and legal facilities. The vendor would be responsible for that transport and disposal. The lessee would have that first year of the contract to repair and improve the site

for providing their services, and to obtain permits to continue to operate the site. Improvements to structures and paving are required to comply with health regulations and traffic concerns, and permits are required to safeguard public health. The request for proposals will be released on July 18. After that, interested parties will have 72 days to provide their proposal to the county.

include work on Grover Street, two projects on First Street and redoing the Spring Street-Argyle Avenue intersection, but the town council has also asked for other possible projects that should be considered. What cannot be identified, as of yet, is the money to pay for any of the projects, although newly appointed town administrator Duncan Wilson thinks “the money can be found” from a combination of state and local sources.

New ferries: on-time and under-budget DOT garners national recognition The Washington State Department of Transportation won national recognition for building three ferries the Chetzemoka, Salish and Kennewick - in 42 months and nearly $7 million under budget. Two of the 64-car, 750-passenger ferries are now in service between Port Townsend and Coupeville, the routes they were designed for. The award is the regional stage of the America’s Transportation Awards and makes DOT eligible for one of two national awards, which each carry a $10,000 prize. The competition is sponsored by the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials. Washington state has won five prior awards.. To save time and money, the state Department of Transportation used an existing vessel design and divided construction work among four Washington shipyards. DOT recently entered into a contract with Vigor Industrial for four 144-car ferries. One is now under construction and one will begin construction late this year.
support or opposition “at this time,” as both Rosenfeld and Pratt put it. Meanwhile, Councilman Rich Peterson said, “I ran for office because I believed in the charter that the voters approved, and I’m opposed to these amendments.” Peterson said, “I’ll speak out” in opposition. Friday Harbor attorney Stephanie Johnson O’Day, a former freeholder, said she would “work hard” to defeat the CRC’s recommendations. In April, O’Day submitted a letter to the County Council reaffirming her support for the charter and noting that, “Unfortunately, the charter had never been implemented correctly… there is no need to change the bones of the charter.” On the heels of the July 10 meeting, O’Day said that a group of charter supporters would meet soon to devise a plan to oppose the commission’s amendments. Bodenstab and Janice Peterson both said that they plan to attend. “We need to go forward, not backward,” O’Day said.

operates. At that time, voters endorsed both the “basic charter,” which separated the legislative and executive branches of county government, installed a process for initiative and referendum, turned elected offices into non-partisan posts and created the position of county administrator. Voters also approved an amendment to the basic charter, though by a smaller margin, that turned the former three-member county commission into a sixmember council, each elected from districts of roughly equal population – three on San Juan Island, two on Orcas and one from Lopez/Shaw. The charter also calls for its own periodic review and for election of a Charter Review Commission to conduct that review. The commission may propose changes to the charter, which must be approved by voters to take effect. The CRC, which began its review in January, concluded its work by issuing eight “Findings” and proposing three charter amendments. Those amendments were presented July 10 to the council and then delivered to Auditor Milene Henley for inclusion on the November general election ballot. Although the presentation of the amendments was not a public hearing, “citizen access time” on the agenda provided immediate opportunity for opponents of the charter amendments to speak. Commission member Janice Peterson and former Freeholder Charlie Bodenstab spoke. Janice Peterson, a member of the CRC, joined Bodenstab in criticizing the commission’s findings and recommendations. Peterson, who presented the council with a CRC minority report, objected to both the process and substance of the panel’s recommendations, saying that many members of the group had decided from the beginning the results that would be reached and did not attempt to accommodate opposing viewpoints in their deliberations. Bodenstab also criticized the commission for not inviting any former freeholders to offer their perspectives. Prosecutor Attorney Randy Gaylord offered a resolution for the council to consider, but, after some discussion, Chairwoman Patty Miller amended the suggested resolution to substitute the word “received” for the word “accept,” saying that she was concerned that “accept” might be understood as “approve,” which the council was not doing. Interviewed after the meeting, council members Howie Rosenfeld, Jamie Stephens and Lovel Pratt all expressed some version of “let the voters decide,” but none expressed

August 7 Primary Election
Proposition 1—Public Safety Sales Tax To
Preserve County Public Safety Services RCW 82.14.450 authorizes counties to propose an increase in the local sales tax of 3/10 of one percent for Public Safety purposes. The San Juan County Council unanimously proposed this sales tax measure to the voters prior to adopting the 2013 Budget. After 4 years of cuts to County services and staff, without voter approval of the Public Safety Sales Tax, additional cuts will be required to Public Safety and other essential County services including: Sheriff, Prosecuting Attorney, Courts, Emergency Management, Public Health, Roads and others. If authorized by voters, per State law, the funds would be split 60% for preservation of County Public Safety services and 40% to the Town of Friday Harbor for Town Public Safety services. San Juan County’s sales tax rate would remain among the lowest in the Puget Sound Region.
The Public Safety Sales Tax would add 30 cents to the purchase of $100 worth of taxable* goods.
Includes Proposed Public Safety Sales Tax
* Groceries, medicine, prescription drugs, automobile purchases are exempt.
*Sales taxes charged within all incorporated areas of Skagit County are higher than the proposed San Juan County rate.

And the band played on
ey’s worth. Thank you Roy Rogers and the Delta Rhythm Kings — a forever fan, Bianca Vanderwal San Juan Island
There are musicians and then there are musicians, and this past Friday the 13th we experienced the difference. As we all remember we had one heck of a lightning storm and it put us all in the dark. Some of us had the pleasure of listening to Roy Rogers and his Delta Rhythm Kings, when God decided to turn down the volume and let the real musicians come out. The first set was not even over when we lost power at our community theater and the emergency lights came on. Our hearts skipped a beat, because we all like Roy Rogers and hated the thought of having to go home in the middle of the set. Well, my hat’s off to Roy Rogers and his band and a resounding “thank you” for staying. They were not about to let some stinking power outage interrupt their mission to entertain us and they showed us what truly talented musicians they are, by playing only acoustically. Wow — it was awesome, because it felt like it was a jam session. Roy engaged the audience with anecdotal stories and it felt almost cozy and we were in for a treat by the master.

I will be voting in support of the public safety tax and I strongly urge you to join me. Since 2008, when we began responding to the decrease in tax revenue by shrinking the size and cost of county government, we have been able to largely preserve those services that deliver public safety, sometimes at the expense of other important government services. Given the projections that form the basis for our annual budgeting, this will no longer be possible without an increase in revenue. This is because the problem for 2013 is projected to be an $800,000 deficit if the sales tax fails and approximately $200,000 if it passes. Obviously, a problem remains even with the passage of the sales tax but it gets closer to becoming tolerable and the public safety functions of the government could continue to be preserved. I cannot conceive of a way to bridge an $800,000 gap without cutting deputies and other vital positions. The modest increase for each of us (.03 percent), will mean an additional 30 cents on a $100 taxable purchase and will still leave our total sales tax rate lower than what is paid in the neighboring communities of Anacortes, Burlington, Mount Vernon, and Bellingham. The added revenue to the county would be in the range of $650,000 the first

year. A large percentage of the total tax will be paid by non-residents who also represent much of the need for our public safety services. The Sheriff ’s department and offices of the prosecuting attorney, superior and municipal courts, county juvenile justice system, victims’ services, and others are, in my opinion, currently staffed and funded at a bare minimum for the provision of these basic services we expect from local government. These elements of the public safety system are all inter-dependent, and require a degree of balance in order to have a functional whole. Making cuts in any of these would reduce the effectiveness of all of them. Our sense of community and well-being relies on our feeling of safety and security. We can’t afford to give it up. The tax is a modest cost to retain so much that matters to us. I hope you will vote to approve the public safety sales tax measure so that we can at least preserve the current levels of valuable service. Rich Peterson SJC Councilman/Dist. 2

Public safety is the fundamental core function of government. The safety of our island communities is one of the reasons that we live here, and why the San Juan Islands are such a desirable place to both live and visit. It is all about the quality of life that we all enjoy here. Since 2008, county gov-

ernment has been cutting expenses and personnel to keep a balanced budget in this difficult economy. Projections for next year are no different, with another shortfall anticipated. San Juan County voters have a Public Safety Sales Tax measure to decide on the August ballot. The measure, approved unanimously by the County Council, would authorize an additional 3/10 of 1 percent sales tax to preserve and protect existing public safety programs and services. The tax would add 3 cents to every $10 taxable purchase. For literally pennies per local purchase, we can protect our local public safety services; sheriff patrols, 9-1-1 dispatch, jail, criminal prosecution and courts. With a sales tax, everybody

Vote ‘Yes’ for public safety
A yes vote for Proposition 1 on the Aug. 7, 2012 ballot is a vote for public safety. Increased revenue is needed to maintain current levels of public safety and justice services in San Juan County. Despite five years of cuts in county budgets and severe cuts in staffing, county revenues are projected to fall $3.6 million

short over the next three years. Until now, cuts to the sheriff ’s department and to the criminal justice services have been minimized. But without increased revenue, these essential public services will be cut in ways that affect our quality of life. The proposed 30 cents increase per $100 in sales would fund current levels of public safety and justice services in our islands. A sales tax increase will raise revenue from both residents and visitors. Our population approximately doubles during the tourist season. The surge in visitors results in increased pressure on the sheriff ’s department and on the justice department. Most drugs and groceries See LETTERS, Page 7

Next up: feasibility, FCC frequency
S
o far, it appears the tug-of-war over the future of the county charter is a contest between “bring back the past” and “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” The Charter Review Commission decided with little hesitation, and only a modicum of dissent (two out of 21 members) to return to a threemember, full-time, county governing body. We’re not so sure. But with a handful of former freeholders, the group that built the planks of the home-rule charter, now standing up to publicly defend their reasoning for separating the legislative and executive branches of county government, and for creating six legislative districts that reflect a more equal distribution of the population, we are encouraged that a thoughtful case for both the past and present will be revealed. Much of the changes brought by the charter will remain intact. Election of most county officials — prosecuting attorney the exception — will remain non-partisan. The CRC made no move to unhinged the process of initiative or referendum, or mini-initiative. And a citizen’s salary commission will still determine salaries of most county elected officials. Still, the return to three full-time elected officials with the authority to implement laws and to oversee management of day-to-day county operations, if not effectively run the show, would appear to be a monumental turn of events. That’s not to say that the six-member council has done a stellar job. We look forward to a healthy debate. Stayed tuned.

OPALCO’s broadband initiative: co-op work group offers progress report
A
By OPALCO Broadband Work Group
s OPALCO’s Board continues to study the feasibility of the Broadband Initiative, progress is being made. At our last report, there were three major contingencies to address before the Board could consider a vote on the project: revision of the county’s wireless ordinance, completion of feasibility studies and acquisition of a FCC licensed frequency. There have been positive developments on each front and the Board is moving closer to a decision point. New county wireless ordinance On June 26, the County Council passed a revised Wireless Ordinance defining Joint-Use Wireless Facilities. These are facilities that can provide support for multiple public services on one utility pole, including electrical power management and public safety radio communications. The broadband component of these systems could be used to provide true high-speed internet service county-wide, and could help us achieve better cell phone coverage if the cellular providers agree to use these facilities. The adoption of the wireless ordinance was accomplished through a thorough public process that included public testimony, legal review and many thoughtful hours of our council member’s time and attention. Feasibility under review On the feasibility front, initial technical studies are complete and OPALCO staff members will be field-testing potential equipment and pole locations as we refine the system design. We are working with industry experts to develop potential business models for Board consideration — and the numbers continue to be the most challenging aspect of the project. The Board is committed to finding a solution that makes sense for the co-op model and for the membership. FCC licensed frequency Meetings to discuss the acquisition of a FCC licensed
frequency have been positive and we are hopeful that an agreement could be reached in the next few months. Much of the system design (including actual coverage, capacity, number of poles and pole locations) is dependent on the frequency that would be deployed. Once an agreement is reached for a specific frequency range, a final system design can be developed. In addition, public forums held on four islands in May were well attended and have started a rich public dialogue on the project. The majority of feedback from members is very positive and in support of the Broadband Initiative, and the Board is also considering concerns that have been raised about the potential cost burden to members, their issues with RF emissions and the potential role of the co-op as an internet service provider. All feedback is being carefully reviewed as the Board moves toward a decision. For more info and updates, visit www.opalco.com — and stop by OPALCO’s 75th Anniversary booth at the county Fair where staff will be available to discuss the project and answer questions. — Editor's note: The column above was submitted by the OPALCO Broadband Work Group, led by Foster Hildreth, assistant general manager.
As I See It
Critical issues clouded by fog of cliches Rosenfeld misses the mark in balance of power in CAO debate
H
By Peg Manning
owie Rosenfeld’s statement in support of his quest for reelection presents what those in education call a “teachable moment.” (“Reasonable rules guard islands’ way of life,” July 4, pg. 9) Not because it lucidly discusses the critical issues confronting the county to enable an informed electorate; but, rather, because it tosses about the usual deceptive “sound bites” that politicians find so helpful in shutting down discussion of the real issues. For example, Mr. Rosenfeld suggests that county citizens who question the current CAO fiasco must not understand that our islands are special and should be protected. The notion that only Mr. Rosenfeld and his political brethren respect the land is nonsense, and is belied by our well-stewarded surroundings. Mr. Rosenfeld's rhetorical concern for the citizenry’s continued commit-
ment is purportedly based upon what he characterizes as “well-organized opposition” to the CAO and SMP. How he considers a handful of unfunded private citizen and civic groups as “well-organized opposition” in this context is troubling: either he has no idea of the nature of this controversy or he is dissembling. First, I have yet to meet anyone who opposes the CAO and SMP; indeed, most people seem to think that our existing CAO and SMP regulations are working quite well. Second, the average islander keeps asking—quite logically—what is wrong with our existing CAO and SMP regulations? Because the law doesn’t require wholesale re-writing of our CAO and SMP; it requires us to review our existing rules and fix anything that’s broken. But our county leaders rather petulantly maintain that “they don’t have to tell us” what’s wrong—and that we can’t make them. Yes, it really has gotten that bad. What is the county afraid of? Third, the people that I meet are gravely concerned about the radically restrictive new CAO and SMP
schemes being jammed through by “our” planners and “our” state government, not to mention the assorted and sundry non-profits, tribes and quasigovernmental entities funded with our tax dollars who believe that they know best about—well—everything. At the cost of millions of dollars a year, the self-described “environmentalists” (planners, big consulting firms, ‘Friends’, Ecology, tribes, the Puget Sound “Partnership,” for some examples) all struggle valiantly to expand the reach of the CAO against what Mr. Rosenfeld sees as the “organized opposition”: a handful of volunteers struggling to expose the backroom machinations that have characterized this process from its inception. We agree that the county should have “sensible protections.” We believe that it already has. There is nothing sensible about the complex and burdensome proposals now pending before the County Council.

Encampment 2012 features tribute to Henry ‘Scoop’ Jackson By Scott Rasmussen
Journal editor
T
he many festivities in store at this year’s annual Encampment at San Juan Island National Historical Park will include a grand and August tribute. Here’s the scoop. Actually, the word “scoop” fits it to a tee. This year marks the 15th annual Encampment on the parade grounds of English Camp’s Garrison Bay, and it coincides with the 47th anniversary of the late Henry “Scoop” Jackson’s successful creation of the San Juan Island’s national historical park and with what would have been the longtime Washington state U.S. senator’s 100th birthday. Established in 1966 and signed into law that year by President Lyndon B. Johnson, the San Juan Island National Historical Park consists of two separate properties, American Camp to the south and English Camp to the north, encompassing 2,064 acres between the two. The park offers recreational opportunities and at the same time stands as a symbol that differences between nations can be peacefully resolved.
