Job study backs pay raise for some workers By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

More than a few feathers have been ruffled by it. But San Juan County officials contend that the latest workforce job study and the resulting recalibration of salaries and wages— some up, some down—will have little impact on county payroll expenses overall. County Council Chairwoman Patty Miller said an uptick or downtick in wages here or there won’t weigh that heavily in the budget process partly because payroll expenses already consume roughly 75 percent of the county’s general fund from year to year. The preliminary 2013 general fund, which totals $14.4 million, minus another $3 million or so in outside grants, pays for wages, health and retirement benefits of more than half of the county workforce, 133 employees. “In the grand scheme of things the reclassification study is not the issue,” Miller said. “In the grand scheme the problem really is that the county’s expenses are misaligned with our revenue sources and in some degrees with our local economy too.” Miller said wages and benefits paid by the county tend to stand out in comparison with the private sector largely because of the lack of stable industries, such as manufacturing or high-tech, which generally produce higher-paying jobs. That comparison has also been accentuated by the prolonged See Salaries, Page 4

He claims no one knew about the secret location or of the money,

concealed inside a freezer inside the garage, which reportedly was locked at night and unlocked during the day. July 3: A 19-year-old Battleground, Wash. man was arrested on alcoholrelated charges following investigation of a late-night get-together in Orcas Island’s Buck Park.

A San Juan Island man convicted three years ago of peddling cocaine and heroin will stand trial on a new round of drug trafficking charges in early October. On July 20, Raul Vallejano, Jr. pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to possession of heroin with intent to deliver, a Class B felony, and to possession of cocaine, a Class C felony. He was released under court orders, and held without bail, pending a Oct. 8 trial date. Backed by a search warrant, San Juan County Sheriff ’s deputies took Vallejano, Jr. into custody in the early morning hours of July 15 following a search of a small rental cabin where he lived on De Haro Lane. Officers reportedly seized roughly nearly three ounces of heroin, six grams of cocaine shortly after 10 p.m. He reportedly failed to use a turn signal and to yield to an oncoming vehicle while proceeding through the intersection. n A half dozen warrants led to the arrest of a Orcas Island man following a midmorning complaint about traffic in the 7000 block of Orcas Road.

and various scales and packaging material at the time of the arrest. According to authorities, the estimated “street value” of three ounces of heroin would vary from $3,500 to $6,000 depending on quantities in which it would be sold. A Class B felony, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both; however the standard range of sentencing set by the state is 12-20 months in prison. In December 2009, Vallejano Jr. was sentenced to a year in prison and ordered to pay nearly $4,000 in fines and fees after pleading guilty to three drug trafficking charges, two counts of delivery of cocaine and one involving heroin. At the time of his conviction, he had lived on the island for about five years. — Scott Rasmussen

activity in First St. makeover By Steve Wehrly

Journal reporter

Forty years ago, Dan Levin's New Renaissance jewelry design shop was featured in the Los Angeles Times under the headline, “Artists and Shops Save Cannery Row” in Newport Beach, Calif. Levin, who likes sayings (“Fear can save your life, but as a strategy for life, it sucks”) thought that his former business name sounded just about right for what’s happening on the hillside north of Spring Street, where the “Dan Levin Originals” workshop and showroom has been a fixture for 27 years. There are now four art-related businesses in a row on the east side of North First Street. Going uphill from Herb’s Tavern: “9,” a gallery for Northwest island art and gifts, opened on the Fourth of July by architect/artist Nina Pellar LeBaron; Momentum Handbag, opened two weeks ago as a workshop/studio by leatherworker Winnie Brumsickle; Dan Levin Originals, where Levin and Diane Levin create fine jewelry “known and sold all over the world” and Vital Elements, a two-year-old mixed-media craft supply shop which is also a workshop and studio for owner Rhonda Scott’s Retro Rose Design. All four women and Dan are enthusiastic and optimistic. After three tough recession years, Levin says, “We’ve been tested and we’ve found we can survive and thrive.

Library Closed Monday July 30th People are starting to dream again. I heartily welcome my new neighbors.” LeBaron, Brumsickle and Scott are happy to be those new neighbors. Brumsickle, after several years of making handbags and leather goods at home and selling them from home and on the internet, said, “I’m delighted at the response and love interacting with locals and tourists. I’m looking forward to a great summer season. I'm totally jazzed.” Scott, who opened her shop in 2010 and sells her own jewelry and craft supplies and “findings” for mixed media art, said, “The past two months have been terrific. This is what I’ve been working for, and I think having four shops together will work for all of us.” She’s bringing in the work of five local craftspeople, and is planning on starting classes for jewelry and related crafts later this year. LeBaron, who was director of the Westcott Bay sculpture park at Roche

Harbor after a career in architecture and design in New York and San Francisco, thinks her gallery has opened at “just the right time, in just the right place.” Located in the space formerly occupied by Garuda & I, “9” carries paintings, photo-art, sculpture, glass, and fabric arts – all from the San Juan Islands. LeBaron’s goal is to support island artists. Notable artists include Lopez Island sculptor Ron Norman, Orcas Island jewelry and clothing designer Sallie Bell and San Juan Island photographer John Miller.

Solid waste:

Lopez voters in November. “We’re very confident that the budget and tax proposal is solid,” said Larry Eppenbach, Lopez district board member and former financial executive for the state of Alaska. Describing the process of building a budget as “meticulous” and the council’s questioning as “beneficial in sharpening our focus,” Eppenbach said the operating board was ready to ask Lopezians to vote to bring

the Lopez dream to reality. “We’ve done this right,” said Eppenbach, “we asked the people of Lopez to trust us, and we know we have to continue building that trust.” Unless the council balks at some of the district’s budget numbers, the council will send the group’s tax proposal, a 9.5 cents per 1,000 property tax levy, to the elections office for the November ballot. If approved, the increase would raise about $100,000 of the total $414,577 budget that the county council is expected to approve on Tuesday. Eppenbach said supporters will campaign hard for voter approval. Following review of the Lopez district budget and tax package, the council will consider the selection committee’s recommendation that Cimarron Trucking

operate the Orcas transfer station under contract with the county. The only other bid received was from Orcas Recycling Services, operator of the Orcas Exchange. The committee report noted that neither proposal satisfied “all of the stated RFP vendor selection criteria. However, the VSC has initially determined that Cimarron is the best qualified.” One condition that Cimarron must address is compatibility with the operations of the Exchange, which receives, refurbishes and resells a variety of used goods at their facility located near the transfer station. Mark De Tray, executive director of the Orcas Exchange, had hoped that the proposal of Orcas Recycling Services, the non-profit that runs The Exchange on Orcas, would receive the nod from the

downturn in the local economy, she said, which began three years ago with the Great Recession. With 2013 budget talks underway, the county faces a revenue shortfall of $800,000, which, according to Administrator Pro Tem Bob Jean, would expand to roughly $3.6 million by 2015 without cuts in county-run programs. Jean said without voter approval of the public safety sales tax increase, included in the August primary ballot, the county faces the prospect of eliminating five jobs to balance the 2013 budget, and 16 more by 2015. Even with voter-approval of the sales tax hike, which would generate roughly $600,000 a year for the county and $400,000

vendor selection committee, a council-appointed ad hoc group. The vendor selection committee consists of Steve Alexander and Russ Harvey of the county’s Solid Waste Division, Jeff Strothers and Lisa Byers of Orcas Island, and council Chairwoman Patty Miller of Orcas. De Tray said that Orcas Recycling Services “has the coordinating capacity and core principles” to meet the needs of the county and the objectives of Washington state’s “Beyond Waste Plan,” which he says includes “reuse and waste reduction” in addition to handling, transport and disposal of solid waste. Cimarron Trucking Company of Anacortes, the present contract hauler for solid waste from Orcas, is the apparent winner of the competition.

Blair Estenson, Cimarron’s president, says his company “is ready to go.” Estenson said that “Cimarron knows what it’s doing, we’ve got the equipment and we’ve already agreed with San Juan Sanitation to continue” to bring their curbside pickup garbage trucks to Orcas. Estenson also said, “we’ll work with the Exchange” to continue “the valuable services they provide to Orcas Island.” And San Juan Island? The county’s request for proposals to operate the Sutton Road transfer station is finished and ready for publication. The deadline for submission of bids will be Oct. 1, 2012, and Public Works Director Frank Mulcahy thinks private operation of the San Juan Island transfer station “may happen sometime in 2013.”

for the Town of Friday Harbor, Jean said the county would still need to eliminate seven jobs to balance next year’s budget. The county has been able to balance its annual revenue and expenses over the past three years by eliminating 25 jobs and with the help of concessions -- highlighted by wage freezes and furloughs -- from members of Local 1849, the union that represents about 125 employees. The most recent concession implemented a higher employee deductible that saved the county $235,000 in medical insurance costs. “That’s what allowed us to balance this year’s budget,” Miller said of the higher deductible. In addition to the implementation of the reclassification study, union members will receive a 3 percent cost-of-living increase this year under its most recently renegotiated collective-bargaining agreement. Members of the Sheriff ’s Guild will receive a 2 percent cost-of-living increase in 2012. Results of the study also affect job descriptions and compensation of management and non-union members, slated to go into affect in August. According to Human Resources Manager Pamela Morais, of 226 county jobs, 19 are targeted for pay reductions and another 27 will see no increase. The rest, she said, will receive a job-related raise ® that averages about 31 cents an hour.

News briefs Coal port clash in spotlight at ‘Friends’ forums

Dr. Claudia Oaks to speak against bringing coal through Bellingham. Friends of the San Juans (www.sanjuans.org) is bringing Montana environmental consultant Dr. Claudia Oakes to Friday Harbor and Eastsound. Oakes, an adjunct professor at Montana State University in Billings, will address the environmental and economic impacts of shipping nearly 50 million tons of Montana coal per year through a proposed coal port near Cherry Point, north of Bellingham. Mining the coal in Montana and shipping it by train through Washington state for ultimate sale to Asia will, according to Oakes, “entangle Montana and the Pacific Northwest in a Saudi Arabian-style web of political and economic dependencies and environmental consequences that will result in long-term environmental damage and conflict.” Forums: San Juan, Thursday, Aug. 2, 5-6:30 p.m., San Juan Island Grange, 52 1st Street N, Friday Harbor; Orcas, Friday, Aug. 3, 5-6:30 pm, Emmanuel Episcopal Church, 242 Main

August primary ballots in the mail, info online

Ballots for the August primary election will be in the mail beginning Wednesday, July 18. In addition to a number of federal, congressional, state legislative and judicial races, the Aug. 7 primary includes a San Juan County Council-endorsed proposition, Prop. 1, which, if approved, would raise the local sales tax by 3/10 tenths of 1 percent, from 7.8 percent to 8.1 percent, with proceeds earmarked for public safety services. This year, county Elections is partnering with the Secretary of State to provide voters with access to an online voters’ guide, printable replacement ballots and notification of when ballots are received by the local Elections office. Access the online site myvote.wa.gov. In addition, voters can use the online site to update their residential address (within state), or mailing address anywhere in the world. Voters can also view their “voting history” at the online site as well.

New cases of whooping cough confirmed on Orcas, San Juan Two new cases of pertussis have been confirmed in San Juan County in the month of July, according to local health officials. One of the two cases of pertussis, also known as “whooping cough”, is on Orcas Island, the other on San Juan Island. The county has seen sporadic cases of pertussis on Lopez, Orcas and San Juan islands since an outbreak in October of last year on San Juan. In the wake of these two new cases, county health officials have issued a reminder to islanders to be alert for a cough illness that persists for seven days or more, or if the person suf-

fering that persistent cough has difficulty catching their breath or is gagging after a coughing episode. According to county Personal Health Services Manager Susan Leff, the most effective strategy to interrupt the transmission of pertussis and to protect infants, who are most at risk in a severe case, is through the timely vaccination of all children and with on-time administration of a booster for adolescents and adults. For information about Pertussis or for low-cost Tdap vaccine, contact your health care provider or San Juan County Health Department at 378-4474.

Locally, voter turnout in the 2010 primary topped 64 percent, with 7,400 of the county’s 11,491 registered voters casting ballots in that election. The 2012 primary ballot features nine candidates seeking to be Washington state’s next governor, seven challengers to U.S. Senate incumbent Maria Cantwell, five candidates challenging U.S. District 2 Congressman Rick Larsen, four state attorney general hopefuls, three state Supreme Court races and 40th District state Senator Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, facing two opponents, including Republican John Swapp. Under the state’s Top Two primary system, the top two vote-getters in each race advance to November’s general election, regardless of party affiliation. As in the past, this year’s primary is a vote-by-mail only election. Ballots must be postmarked by Aug. 7, election day, if returned by mail; first-class postage is required. Alternatively, ballots can be deposited in any of the Election department’s drop-boxes, located at the county courthouse in Friday Harbor, the senior center on Orcas and the fire station on Lopez. Ballots can also be dropped off at the Elections office in Friday Harbor, by 8 p.m., on election day.

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.

Opinion Letters to the Editor

Moving beyond our own bunkers

Is it my imagination, or is this island becoming more and more politically polarized all the time? Are we in danger of splitting in two? As I read letters to the editor, and listen to my neighbors, I’m more and more disturbed by what I can only refer to as a “us” vs. “them,” or “I’m right and you’re wrong” mentality. Sure Democrats and Republicans have their differences; but does this need to carry over into CAO and SMP discussions? My concern is that the bitterness, fear and anger we saw in dealing with the CAO is child’s play compared to what is going to occur when discussion/debate starts on the Shoreline Master Plan. My suggestion, which I fear will fall on deaf ears, is to remember the lessons of the “Pig War”, which stressed peaceful negotiations. Maybe an all island Shoreline Master Plan Dance is in order, or even better—how about a foot race between “The Friends” and the “Common Sense” supporters? We can also learn from our founding fathers, who, by the way, didn’t like one another, but worked together cooperatively because the stakes were so high. John Adams said, “There must be decency and respect and veneration introduced for persons of authority of every rank or we are undone... this is our only way.” Basically, as concerned

islanders we have two choices: we can continue to “preach to our choirs,” and get all worked up talking only to people who are of like minds, or we can exercise empathy and really attempt to understand the other side’s position. Personally, I choose the later because I have always found the former about as exciting as kissing a mirror. Mike Buettell Friday Harbor

It’s the law; time to enforce it

It is my understanding that the Sheriff ’s department is finally addressing drivers operating cell phones. It is about time, this is the most flagrant and disregarded traffic violation that is enforced by law enforcement everywhere. There are jurisdictions that issue citations ranging from $75 and up to $300. The “grace period” is long over for people to have made the adjustment to not operate a cell-phone while driving. It is ludicrous that people insist on ignoring the existing law. I was turning left onto Second Street off Guard the other day and by the time I transgressed though the stop sign at Carter and Blair I observed four drivers using the cell-phone. It is amazing that you can see people exiting their driveway and be on the cellphone. If one was to monitor an intersection you might observe someone running a stop sign at the rate of about 5-6 miles an hour. In that same hour, you will observe more drivers on their cell-phone. And yes, you will observe the

cell-phone operator to also run the stop sign. My suggestion: have a “Zero Tolerance Day” for violators and issue citations, not warnings. I don’t doubt that it would result in 100 citations being issued within an eight-hour period. Deputies certainly have other things to do, but even a 30-minute devotion of a deputy’s shift would result in numerous citations being issued. If the local newspaper even published a warning as to this zero tolerance day it would still be ignored. Being issued a citation would have a sobering effect and even hearing about someone else receiving a citation will get the message across. Joe Caputo Friday Harbor

Prop. 1: remedy against poor policy I would like to agree with the unnecessary necessity for increasing sales taxes to fund law enforcement. It is liberal theology that unemployment, lack of opportunity and poverty lead to social dysfunction, crime, family violence and addiction. Thus it is no surprise that lack of work for our young men in construction places pressure upon our criminal justice system. The decay in our social environment is to an increasing extent self-inflicted. The County Council is in the process of imposing regulations that will devastate one of the two principal employers, the building industry. The council is not commissioning any studies on the economic impact of these regulations upon our

community. The members of the council unapologetically acknowledge this fact. They are explicitly not balancing human interests with those of the environment. When construction is booming, unemployment is low and the county’s tax receipts from the construction trade are significant. A slowdown thus has a double whammy on the county’s budget: it reduces tax revenues and increases demands upon the criminal justice system. Reduced tax receipts and family dysfunction—family violence, meth addiction and juvenile problems— will be the inevitable result of the new CAO regulations. So will be the pressure to find new revenue

sources to replace declining tax receipts from construction. County residents have already experienced an increase in property taxes, higher assessments for the public library, higher assessments for school maintenance, and now higher sales taxes. The council tried a parcel fee for solid waste disposal. What’s next? With no employment opportunities for our young men, we will need more courts, juvenile justice, victims’ services, police and social workers—all to defend our island paradise. It would of course be more fiscally sound and more humane to replace our county council, but that option is not on this ballot. Robert deGavre San Juan Island

Guest Column

Editorial

Yes on Prop. 1

T

he recent tragedy in Aurora, Colo., reminds us of the importance of the Sheriff’s office, fire department and the EMS services to the quality of life in San Juan County. We all depend on our county’s public safety departments for protection and a quick response when bad things happen. Cutting funds to these agencies, the courts and the prosecutor’s office would be a setback to that quality of life. This is why we support Proposition 1, the public safety sales tax increase on the Aug. 7 primary ballot. The increase is three-tenths of one percent added onto the 7.8% sales tax. Thirty cents of every $100 dollars spent by visitors and locals alike will shore up public safety and law and justice budgets. Groceries, prescription drugs and other items are exempt from sales taxes, so those costs won’t go up. The increase will produce approximately $600,000 for the county and $400,000 for the Town of Friday Harbor. County budget projections show that next year revenues will fall $800,000 short of the amount needed to maintain the current level of county services and staffing. The shortfall is estimated to total approximately $3.6 million for budgets from 2013 through 2015. Worst case scenario: if the tax fails, the county will have to eliminate 14 county positions. Even if it passes, seven jobs may have to be cut or other programs eliminated. We feel paying this small additional tax is justified to sustain our law and justice programs. Having voiced support of this measure, we also feel compelled to say that the county might want to look at its wage structure before asking voters for any more money. See Editorial, Page 8

How Are We Doing? Light on revenue San Juan County auditor’s quarterly review of government finances — 2nd quarter, 2012

I

n my first year as Auditor, the first time I went out on a limb to project revenue, it was to say that sales tax revenue that year would not meet budget. Having no experience in forecasting, I was way out of my comfort zone in saying that. I was relieved the next week to see the local paper reporting the same thing: that sales tax revenue Milene Henley would fall short that year. When I read the article, however, I was chagrined to see that the paper’s source for that projection was me. I’ve come a ways since then. I’ve developed tools for reviewing revenue, and I have a few years of good historical data to build on. Nonetheless, forecasting revenue, particularly sales tax, remains a challenge. Sales tax is a critical revenue to San Juan County. Before the levy lift, it represented about one-third of the county’s general fund revenue. With the levy lift, it’s still about 26 percent, second only to property tax. Because sales are typically concentrated in incorporated areas, and San Juan County has only one incorporated area, sales tax revenue is more significant for San Juan County than for most counties. Even in San Juan County, about 29 percent of county-wide sales subject to sales tax take place in Friday Harbor. The problem with sales tax is that it is highly variable with the economy. Sales tax grew more than 10 percent from 2005 to 2006. The following year, it grew by only .3 percent. Since then, it has increased twice and decreased twice. This year, based on results through June, it looks like sales tax will fall again. The good news is that revenue is up in other areas. Planning and permitting revenue, in particular, is up by about the same dollar amount sales tax revenue is down. With that, it looks like there will be no need for a mid-year

budget correction this year, the first time in four years. Expenditures are also on track to finish 2012 within budget. The departure of administrative staff resulted in some unexpected costs related to leave payout, but those expenditures should be largely manageable within budgeted contingency funds. Despite favorable results this year, we’re still not out of the woods. Status quo expenditures continue to outpace status quo revenues, and the County Council continues to look for structural and operational ways to contain costs. Unfortunately, in an environment in which one of our major revenue sources has fallen significantly in recent years, it is unlikely that we can maintain our current levels of service without some increases in revenue, as well. For now, I’m taking sales tax revenue forecasting into my own hands, and I invite you, as concerned citizens, to do your part. Invite your relatives to visit. Invite your business associates. Tell them to stay in hotels, eat in restaurants, and buy stuff to take home for the kids. Better yet, tell them to buy a house, or at least a boat. With your help, maybe someday soon I will be able to accurately project an increase in county sales tax revenue. — Editor’s note: Auditor Milene Henley’s quarterly financial reports are published periodically by the Journal.

Transition report: financial stability tops priority list Newly appointed county CEO weighs in on progress, tasks at hand By Robert Jean, administrator pro tem

I took the helm from veteran county administrator Pete Rose at a challenging time. County government has been sailing in stormy financial seas since the Great Recession hit in 2008. But the county has continued to make headway and accomplished a great deal. A hard-working County Council and dedicated professional staff, elected and appointed, have remained focused on key goals and on improving overall health, safety and community quality of life in the San Juan Islands. Financial Stabilization The county’s top priority is long-term financial stabilization—providing a consistent level of service, with ongoing revenues in sync with ongoing expenditures. Real progress has been made despite the continuing recession: n Countywide we’ve cut services, budgets and staff by 20 percent since 2008. n Voters approved a levy lift in 2010, and will decide in August on the Public Safety Sales Tax. n The Council has established important reserve funds for better cash management, capital programs, and begun building a “rainy day” or budget stabilization fund. n Fees and charges cover the costs of services, so growth pays its way without taxpayer subsidy. n Streaming video (purchased at a fraction of the cost other counties pay and run by a San Juan County business) allows citizens from each island to not only watch, but participate in County meetings. n San Juan County’s government is running in an open and more businesslike way. Environment and Quality of Life Our costly and unsustainable Solid Waste Utility is being replaced by a public-private partnership with island-specific approaches tailored to each island’s needs. Meeting public health and providing cost-effective solid waste solutions is the goal. The county is moving quickly toward compliance with the 1990 State Growth Management Act, which will make it eligible for low-cost state loan programs and qualify for state grants that are now off limits. In updating the critical areas ordinance, rather than taking a “one size fits all” approach, the council listened to citizens, then looked for and found a

more balanced, parcel-based approach which is expected to become a model for other jurisdictions. Meanwhile, as CAO and Shoreline Master Plan issues grabbed headlines, progress has also been made in developing and adopting neighborhood area plans like the Rosario Master Plan, Deer Harbor Hamlet Plan and Lopez Village Growth Area Robert Jean Plan. Compliance with federal and state laws not only protects long-term quality of life, but will bring federal and state help with more affordable housing, better roads and help to control taxes. Broadband The recently approved broadband and cell phone ordinance, developed in partnership with OPALCO, will close gaps in our vital public safety and emergency communication network and increase opportunities for businesses that depend on data links. Law Enforcement The Sheriff ’s office continues to provide quality services on a very limited budget. This agency is the county’s largest user of tax dollars. So far, we have avoided cutting sworn deputies, though the rest of that department has absorbed cuts approaching 10 percent since 2008. Voter approval of the 3/10 percent public safety tax on Aug. 7 (30 cents on a $100 taxable purchase) will preserve existing services and deputies in the Sheriff ’s office, and maintain essential services in the courts and the prosecutor’s office at least through 2015. Red Sky at Night As your county administrator pro tem and a temporary resident of the San Juan Islands, I hope you will come to know that I take my assignment seriously. Based on my 35 years of local government management experience I promise to give you and the county council the best advice I can offer. I welcome your input, and—with the help of your elected officials and staff —will deal with the issues before us in a manner that respects the quality of life in the islands

for all the people who live, work and visit here. As I recall from the times I sailed these islands: “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight.” We have trimmed our sails and lightened our load. San Juan County is on course and sailing ahead.

Reilley & Maloney: Then & Now Folk music back in the spotlight; SJ Community theatre, Sat., 7:30 p.m. San Francisco. Two solo singers. The Drinking Gourd Club on Union Street. It was a chance meeting, one might say, but it was one that led to four decades of a shared musical spirit, a whole lot of concerts, and even more songs. Folk music singers Ginny Reilly and David Maloney joined forces in 1970 after crossing paths more than 40 years ago in the City by the Bay. Known in the early years simply as “Ginny and David”, they sang at clubs up and down the West Coast while hitting musical venues from the Bay Area to Seattle, and a legion in between. Together, the two guitarists played more than 3,000 shows, often sharing the stage with folk music legends like Judy Collins, Tom Paxton and Greg Brown, before splitting up in 1990 to pursue their respective solo careers. Ten years later, they were back on stage—together. Based now in the Pacific Northwest, Reilly & Maloney will share the sounds that made them a must-see act at the height of the folk music era in their first-ever performance on San Juan Island. The duo will be in the spotlight of San Juan Community Theatre’s Whittier Stage on Saturday, July 28. Curtain goes up at 7:30 p.m. Following their renunion 12 years ago, Reilly and Maloney released a CD, entitled “Together Again”, in 2004 that drew critical acclaim and demonstrated that they hadn’t lost a step. Music critic Tom Nelligan of Dirty Linen, a former bi-monthly magazine devoted to folk and world music, had this to say about the duo’s return to the stage and the record-

ing studio: “Reilly still has one of the sweetest voices in folk music, an ethereal soprano that dances lightly around Maloney’s grittier baritone, and the contrast in their voices and their unique sense of harmony makes for some wonderful duets.” Today, Reilly and Maloney are still performing as a duo, and as solo artists as well.

Walk for life… By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

Patty Brightman clearly recalls the day she decided that Relay For Life would be a cause worthy of her support. That was eight years ago, and after joining a team of fellow Soroptimists for that inaugural Relay For Life, Brightman has become an event mainstay ever since. “Eight years ago I joined up with the Soroptimist team, and I had just recently lost two friends to cancer right about that time too” she said. “I saw so much potential and what was going on with the event that I knew that I had to just step up and do it.” For Brightman, stepping up has meant becoming captain of the Soroptimists team, one of Relay’s most active, as well as joining Relay’s event committee, where, as team development coordinator, she promotes participation, encourages team building and ensures everyone has what they need leading up to the annual two-day fundraiser. There have been times n Where: Friday Harbor High School when enthusiasm wanes, Track; begins 3 p.m., Saturday.

On San Juan Island, the need is great. Funds raised through Relay For Life events, a nationwide program sponsored by the American Cancer Society, help fund research and support for people diagnosed with or who are battling the disease. Contributions by ACS in turn help fund local support programs, including a 800-number that offers 24/7 support, taxi vouchers, gas vouchers, financial help with lodging for overnight treatments, even free wigs for those enduring the debilitating effects of chemotherapy. Local money raised through Relay For Life also funds cancer reasearch

Institute embarks on new era By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

The Madrona Institute is making its mark on San Juan Island. Started in 2005 by Merle Lefkoff, Roger Morris, Ron Zee and several other islanders, the think tank initially focused on national and international issues. In 2009 and 2010, Madrona sponsored several well-received seminars, including a well-attended symposium at Roche Harbor on the politics of the Gulf Oil disaster. After that, Morris and Lefkoff moved on to other interests and other places, leaving Zee to restructure the group into more of a community organization with a local environmental and tribal relations involvement. Reaching out to friends in the environmental community, Zee realized there might be a role for a smaller group to incubate and run projects like think-tank seminars and lectures, but on topics of local

interest. “Our unique community has great potential, and I have the capacity to manifest new ideas to benefit our future, and a network of relationships to make things happen,” Zee said in response to the question of “Why?” Zee and the new board he put together started developing new programs and projects, culminating recently in a five-year agreement with San Juan Island National Historical Park. Right now, that agreement meant pilot funding for the San Juan Island Youth Conservation Corps, Madrona’s outdoor action program. A joint venture with the Stewardship Network, the program has recruited 15 local 12-14 year-olds, putting them to work on projects at the Land Bank’s Limekiln Preserve, English Camp, and other outdoor settings. National Parks’ Jerald Weaver said he’s very happy that NPS is work-

ing with the Madrona Institute. “We’re trying to connect our resources with the community,” he said. “Working together on common interests will benefit everyone, especially young people.” Zee is equally pleased. “Every staff person at (SJINHP) is a pleasure to collaborate with. They care about this community and their role in helping to shape our future is very positive.” Madrona works closely with the Stewardship Network, Friends of the Lime Kiln Society, the Islands Energy Coalition and Leadership San Juan Contributed Photo Islands. More information and program sched- Members of SJI Youth Conservation Corps helps to build a trail on the island’s west side. ules can be found at the website, www.madrona.org.
