Spring Street expands More grades, more kids, more space By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
Growth is part of the Spring Street International School culture. Personal growth through a multicultural student body, which includes 15 students from Korea, China and Germany, and through extensive international and local travel, which includes experiential learning projects in foreign countries like Thailand, India and Peru. And intellectual growth through a rigorous academic curriculum,
small class size and dedicated teachers who expect their students to learn to think and write critically. Now, both the school and the student body will be growing. A two-phase, million-dollar building program is under way. Student body growth will see the school adding grade 5 to the present grades 6 through high school. “We need to grow in every way,” said Louis O’Prussack, now four years into his tenure as headmaster of the school. “I’m proud to say the school is performing its education and personal growth mission, but to continue to achieve that mission, our campus needs more classrooms and science labs,
more dormitory rooms for our 16 boarding students and more common areas for school events, assemblies and performances.” And more teachers and students, O’Prussack quickly adds. Now, the school educates students from sixth grade through high school. This fall, it’s adding grade five - six more students, which will bring total enrollment to 78, including 16 students from Asia and Germany. As many as 5 more teachers will be added over the next few years, depending on whether the school reaches “full enrollment,” now pegged at “maximum 100.” The building program is underSee REMODEL, Page 4

Do we suffer without sun? By Cali Bagby

more proof,” he added.
Sources of vitamin D
According to the National Institutes of Health, vitamin D is found in fatty fish like salmon and tuna. It can also be found in butter and cheese, said Dr. David Russell of Orcas Island Family Medicine. According to the Global Healing Center, dried versions of shiitake mushrooms are high in vitamin D. This may be due to the fact that they are adept at sucking up sunlight. But food is not the ideal source. The best way to get vitamin D is from Mother Nature’s sunny rays. For Northwest residents, who don’t have the luxury of year-round sun, Russell suggests looking at labels to see what you may be getting already in your diet and to use a supplement if you’re not getting adequate vitamin D, especially in the wintertime. Russell said

Some of the risks
the current recommended daily allowance of vitamin D nationwide is 600 to 800 IUs daily. “However, as we live in the northern part of the United States, the degree of sunlight that we receive would generally be less than other parts of the country, so I have generally recommended that adults here take between 1,000 and 2,000 IUs,” he said.
When is it enough?

will provide adequate vitamin D, so supplements are unnecessary. He added this amount of time “is not a sufficient exposure to raise a concern about skin cancer. Having this sun exposure is a good reason, in addition to several others, to go for your daily walk.” Martin Mittelstaedt, author of “The Vitamin D Miracle: Is It For Real?” recommends applying sunscreen after spending five or 10 minutes in the midday sun, then apply as normally directed. This brief amount of exposure is enough to synthesize a few weeks’ worth of vitamin D. Mittelstaedt says, “the benefits of modest sun exposure in preventing serious, hard-to-treat cancers outweighs that risk.” But Russell’s opinion is this conclusion should be made on a much more of a personal, case by case situation. “Weighing the risk and benefit of additional sunlight exposure versus vitamin D supplementation is a topic best taken up individually with a person’s doctor,” he said.

Construction workers, landscapers and farmers may have a leg up on office workers when it comes to bone health, according to research on the positive effects of sun exposure. Historically, Americans worked outdoors tending their fields or participating in other manual labor under the sun. In modern times, many careers require work under artificial light, causing an increase in vitamin D deficiency. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that the percentage of adults achieving a proper level of vitamin D has declined from about 60 percent in 1988-1994 to approximately 30 percent in 2001-2004. According to a Mayo Clinic Study, 25 to 50 percent or more of patients commonly encountered in clinical practice are deficient in vitamin D. Dr. David Shinstrom at The Orcas Family Health Center says it is entirely possible that “low vitamin D levels have been present in humans since we stood on two feet.” Vitamin D is fat-soluble and known as “the sunshine vitamin.” Studies have shown that it promotes bone health, cell growth, immune function and reduces inflammation, according to the National Institutes of Health. Shinstrom says using vitamin D with calcium has been successful to treat osteoporosis, but he is skeptical about its role in other health issues. He describes the vitamin as one of the “more controversial topics in the medical field, with a wide variety of opinions.” “There are always new studies that may provide
in his book “Vitamins and Minerals Demystified,” “Fifteen minutes of summer sun in a bathing suit makes an average of 20,000 IUs of vitamin D—100 times the adequate daily intake. Since vitamin D is stored for long periods, this may be enough vitamin D to last for 100 days.” C.F. Garland wrote in the British Medical Journal that the storage form of vitamin D has a half-life of approximately three weeks, so people in northern latitudes become deficient by December if they are relying solely on the sun for their vitamin D. That’s when they can start supplements. But residents of sunny climates are also commonly found to be deficient in vitamin D, due to cultural habits and/or dress, according to the Mayo Clinic study.

two Orcas residents on the selection committee, agreed with Miller. Both urged the council to work with Cimarron and Orcas Recycling, though Byers thought Cimarron should continue its present role of transporting garbage off-island and Struthers thought Cimarron was “better prepared to start on day one.” Councilman Richard Fralick, also an Orcas resident, encouraged the parties to get together. Fralick said, “Both parties should move forward in negotiations and both sides should be able to respond to a list of questions.” Councilman Howie Rosenfeld spoke in favor of Orcas Recycling: “If the community rises up and wants to take this

Blair Estenson, President of Cimarron Trucking, said in a statement, “We will answer all questions and concerns in the coming several weeks. We know the Exchange is there and will be there in the future, and we think they’re doing an excellent job. We’re prepared to work closely with the Exchange and the Orcas community on reuse and recycling questions.

P.A. counters claims of excess
Critics have written that spending for legal services is out of line with other counties. But reports of the State Auditor show your county council spends less on legal services than comparable counties, when measured as a percentage of the county budget. Measuring spending in a prosecutor’s office as a percentage of the budget is useful because it reflects differences in county size and workload. More dollars spent means more contracts and people doing the work —people like police officers who send cases to the prosecutor. There are nine comparable prosecutor offices that do criminal, coroner and civil work, including work required by the state Growth Management Act. In 2010 these nine counties spent between 4 percent to 11 percent of the general fund on legal services, with an average of 7.6 percent. In San Juan County, just 5.5 percent of the general fund was spent on legal services. Only Douglas County with a big city population was lower. Using this same method for the total county budget shows prosecutor spending ranged between 1.7 percent and 4.6 percent, with an average of 3.1 percent. In San Juan County, just 1.7 percent of the total budget was spent on legal services – the lowest in the state.
The people in this county rely heavily upon our legal system to resolve civil conflicts, and the prosecutor participates when required by law. Since 1995, administrative agencies reported 127 decisions in San Juan cases compared to 36 in Pacific County and 23 in Douglas County. In criminal cases, deputy prosecutors handle over 2,000 hearings a year, including all of the work generated from the Town of Friday Harbor. Our superior court is a district unto itself with a full workload, compared to Pacific County, which is in a three-county district with just 45 percent of a full workload. Your County Council is right to protect funding for legal services. Randall Gaylord SJC Prosecuting Attorney

Lime Kiln’s ‘Red Checkered’ picnic
Don’t miss this new lunch spot out at Lime Kiln Point State Park (aka Whale Watch Park). You can purchase a wonderful picnic lunch right there next to the interpretive center. Take your food down to a picnic table overlooking the water. What could be better? Cynthia Burke, of “Cynthia’s Of Course”, has delicious things to eat in this new little spot, so don’t wait for visitors. Go on out to the Red Checkered Picnic. I was there recently and will return. There are sandwiches, salads, wraps, pastries, cold and hot drinks and yummy sweets from Cynthia and also Felicity, who makes intriguing whale-shaped cookies. Try it and tell your friends.

Pig War? Writer misses the mark
I enjoyed reading Mike Buettell’s letter relating his concern that our political atmosphere is reminiscent of the Pig War (“Moving beyond our own bunkers”, July 25, pg. 6). Of course, the Pig War was much ado about nothing. Our current situation strikes me more as the Revolutionary War. The King and the Tories vs. the peasants who rebel against unjust and senseless laws and demands by their powdered-wig “betters” for more taxes.

Having seen some of this up close while working against increased, purposeless regulation, my impression is that what many see as anger is frustration from trying for several years, unsuccessfully, to get a fair process and a rational result. I don’t see disputes as related to political parties; I personally abhor both major parties and what they have done to our country and to civic discourse. Common Sense Alliance has supporters who are Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, but many moderates and libertarians. But political parties just don’t seem to be much of a force in the islands. And it’s not just the Common Sense Alliance complaining about the process. There are other civic and social groups, but more important, there are a large number of “unaligned” folks, seniors and young families, who have begun to

realize the serious negative impact of proposed CAO regulations and, more generally, of the dysfunctional county government. Interestingly, it was the unaligned who caused the most reaction when they showed up at planning commission meetings and expressed their concerns and, in some cases, outrage. This led to staff complaints about “incivility.” I guess it’s a matter of perspective. Do you own land and pay taxes, or hope to? Do you hope to build or remodel a home, a garage, a dock, a barn? Do you want to use the space around your home? Then read the proposed rules—I mean, really dig in and read them. Go online and watch the recordings of past planning commission and council hearings. Then determine what your chances will be if the expanded CAO rules pass. Peg Manning Orcas Island

Basquin: a mustsee performance
Dear Islanders; I hope many of you will want to attend August 11’s solo piano concert by Peter Basquin, who is coming all the way from New York City to play for us at San Juan Community Theatre. Peter and I went to high school together, and since that time, he has made a career as a concert pianist and professor of music at Hunter College. He simply wowed our island audience when he first visited us in April of 2011, and those of us who heard him play then can’t wait for his return engagement. He’ll be playing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata (a favorite of mine.), plus works by Scarlatti, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, and Liszt. The evening before his concert, on August 10, Peter will be holding a “master See LETTERS, Page 9

Fair time E
lephant ears. Carnival rides. Corn dogs. Rabbit races. Yes, August has indeed arrived and with a quick look at the calendar we’re reminded that opening day of the San Juan County Fair is just two weeks away. Its four-day run begins Aug. 15. The theme of the 2012 County Fair is simply put. It sums up what this annual showcase of the best of what the San Juans has to offer fairly well: “Food. Fun. Fair.” Of course, there’s much more to it than that. In fact, we’ll venture that most fair-goers carry home in their gift bag of memories something more than a day’s worth of enjoyment or earnest appreciation of the endearing spectacle of activity, entertainment and exhibits that plays out across the fairgrounds in Friday Harbor. That something is a sense of community. Plain and simple. The fair offers each of us an opportunity to discover and admire the creativity, passion, hobbies and the enterprise of our neighbors. It’s a time when we play together, compete against one another, cheer each other on, and celebrate the achievements of friends, neighbors and of islanders that we have yet to meet. The fair grounds us in a way like no other single occasion to the place that we all call home. It’s a pretty good bargain, too. Adults can purchase a season pass for $22, which equates to $5.50 per day for admission; seniors get a $4 discount, and the cost of a season pass for children ages 5-16 is just $10. On “Kids Day”, children can climb aboard as many amusement rides as they can stomach, from noon to 5 p.m., Thursday and Friday, for $22. Islanders are not alone in their appreciation of the fair. While it remains a community event at heart and soul, the County Fair attracts more and more visitors each year as well. Of the 20,000 people, or so, who attended the 2011 Fair, 10 percent live outside the county, according to fair stats, and, of those, 1,000 came specifically for the fair. We say, the more the merrier. See you at the Fair!

As I See It
New rules not backed by science Update of CAO goes too far, lacks justification; Council should explain
A
By Bob Levinson
ccording to County Councilman Howie Rosenfeld, we now know the council will be passing the Critical Area Ordinance (CAO) by a majority of
5-to-1. It has been over three years since the San Juan County has been involved with the CAO process. From the start the public has been asking the council and staff “What is the problem” without getting a reasonable answer. The public, whom you represent and basically work for, deserve an answer from each council member giving us the reasons you are getting ready to pass a more restrictive CAO that will have profound impacts to our county. You have been going through the new CAO drafts line by line. Have you ever gone through our existing CAO line by line to determine why it may not be maintaining our rural pristine character? If not, why not? As stewards of our land we do not see any problems with our local environment that would require a major overhaul that will place more restrictions on the use of our property. Do you realize by just renaming our setbacks to buffers you are restricting the use of our property and we could go to jail for doing something on our property that we have been doing for years? Previously, when you have been asked the question, your reply has been the Best Available Science. What BAS has shown a problem on our islands? I reviewed a chapter of the BAS and found that out of 150 cited reports only one was from the islands, all the others were from other areas,
including three foreign countries and 13 other states. The one local report did not show any existing problems. Would you use a car mechanic that did not first analyze the problem before he started working on your car? In your response, if you do choose to respond, and explain the reasons for adopting the new CAO, please let us know specifically what local BAS you are basing your decision upon. Remember, our islands Bob Levinson are unique geomorphically and our waters emanate from Canada. We would also like to know why you think our existing CAO and Shoreline Master Program are not functioning as planned over 20 years ago, and what environmental problems have arisen as a result of those rules. If you cannot tell us the reasons, why change what has basically provided us with our present pristine conditions. Wouldn’t that make sense and be a morally appropriate thing to do? Another very important aspect of these upcoming rules are both the unintended and also the obvious consequences, especially to our economic viability, that will surely be manifested upon the county if these new rules are adopted. Why have you not done an economic analysis on the CAO and SMP? Shouldn’t this be a high priority considering the condition of our county budget? So please give us the reasoning for your forth coming actions. It would be appropriate, honest and forthright way to treat your neighbors. — Robert Levinson, P.E., is a professional geotechnical engineer and a master gardener. He lives on San Juan Island.

But the greatest experience of all was when we took a drive out to Kanaka Bay to figure out just where the seiners tied up and the fishermen camped. Kitty Roberts and Mary Jane Anderson had rightly sowed some doubt in our minds one day and Jim said, “Well, there’s only one thing to do now.” We drove out there. The only problem is the old camp site is now on private property. We looked at the sign on the gate, sized up the fence rails and Jim said, “There’s only one thing we can do now.” He ducked through and I went in after him. About 200 yards out we saw the bay and the historical photos came alive in our hands. An hour or two later his wife, Mary Jean Cahail, told us that two trespassers in the Kanaka Bay area had been reported over the police scanner. On the way home we drove out False Bay Road and stopped in to say howdy to Ed Johnson, who had us in stitches for an hour or more telling stories about his ancestor, Andy Johnson, another San Juan pioneer who had the fastest team of horses in the county.

No sense behind new CAO rules
Is the County Council and county planning department listening at all to the public outcry for them to stop trying to enforce more land use regulations? Before they do, please respond to let them know we need some demonstration of problems that are not solved with the current regulations. A comment recently in a letter: “The three components of a good argument are evidence, reasoning, and claim or conclusion.” Their inability to demonstrate real environmental
damage occurring under existing land-use rules should be enough reason to not enforce more restrictions on land use. What they plan to impose will require more permits, employees to enforce those regulations, legal fees and also will generate a hostile
attitude between tax payers, land owners and our county government. Let’s work together so we can all live together in peace while preserving our paradise with sensible judgement. Helen King Friday Harbor

‘Dream’ opens at Wold Rd., Friday
After three weeks on the road, so to speak, Island Stage Left is headed back home for the final three weeks of its production of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Beginning Friday, Aug. 3, performances will take place at Stage Left's outdoor theater at the local production company's home on Wold Road. Sunday marked the final show at the Roche Harbor Resort outdoor stage, a two-week run, which followed opening week of the play at venues on Lopez, Shaw and Orcas islands. The play runs Friday-Sunday this week and the next, and the play’s final week will feature five performances, Aug. 15-19. Show time at Wold Road begins at 8:15 p.m.

Would-be actor Bottom (Daniel Mayes) is smitten by a spellbound queen of the fairies, Titania, in ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream”.
‘Scoop’ in spirit at Encampment 2012 The speeches, proclamations and opening ceremony drew to a thunderous close with the firing of San Juan Island Battery D Foundation’s Howitzer cannon. The shot rang out over Garrison Bay with a deafening explosion, as a couple in a kayak paused in midpaddle and a sulfurous fog of white smoke raced back from the shore and covered the parade grounds. But activity at the annual Encampment at San Juan Island National Historical Park’s English Camp was well under way even before Anna Marie Laurence, the daughter of the late Washington Sen. Henry “Scoop” Jackson spoke of her father’s fondness for the National Park that he proved instrumental in creating, or Lt. Commander Matthew Freniere of the USS Henry Jackson noted the pride with which he and his crew serve on the nucle-
ar submarine named for the late senator, or even before NPS Superintendent Lee Taylor spoke of the spirit upon which the historical park was founded, the peaceful settlement of an international boundary dispute between two nations, the U.S. and Great Britain, who had risen up in arms against one another many times before. In fact, in the spirit of the park’s annual Encampment, both a tribute to that period of island history known as the “joint occupation” and an occasion for reenactors of the Civil War era to strut their stuff, three “living historians”, as Simon Sobolewski of Victoria, B.C. refers to he and his fellow U.S. military comrades, rose at the crack of dawn and hiked the 14 miles from American Camp to English Camp, arriving at the parade grounds with the opening ceremony in mid-flight.

“From flag pole to flag pole,” Sobolewski said. He was joined on the journey by Puyallup’s Lawrence Bateman and John McPherson of Snohomish. The three will participate in a reenactment of the Civil War battle of Antietam later in the year. Under sunny skies, Encampment 2012, dedicated to Jackson on what would have been his 100th birthday, continued well into the evening, culminat-

igh school reunions may not be everyone’s cup of tea. But for San Juan Island’s Lori Stokes, her 50th high school reunion cup continues to runneth over. Not only did Stokes become reacquainted with a extremely talented and accomplished classmate at that reunion, but she also was able to lure him to Friday Harbor for what proved to be an awe-inspiring concert way back in 2011. Evidently, that may have been just the beginning. Classical pianist Peter Basquin returns to San Juan Community Theatre’s Whittier stage for an encore appearance on Saturday, Aug. 11, at 8 p.m. The concert, entitled “Moonlight & Serenades”, n Who: Classical pianist Peter Basquin will feature Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, as well n Performance: ‘Moonlight & Serenades’ as keyboard masterpiecn Where: San Juan Community Theatre es inspired by the theme, n When: Friday, Aug. 11, 8 p.m. including pieces by Debussy, Rachmaninoff and Liszt. n Tickets: $26 adults, $13 student reserve; $5 RUSH “Peter is an amazing performer,” Stokes said. “Last year he played his heart out for us… many patrons came up to me in the lobby to thank me for bringing such a wonderful gift to Friday Harbor and others sent me emails or stopped me at the Market to tell me how much they had enjoyed the concert.” One of those in the audience, local pianist Farhad Ghatan, said it was, “easily the most enjoyable piano recital I have ever seen.”

A performer, educator and professor emeritus at Hunter College, City University of New York, Basquin’s claim to fame in classical music world includes a long list of awards and achievements. He has performed in concert across the U.S., with appearances at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and the Kennedy Center. He has been a featured soloist with the Boston, Montreal and Quebec symphonies, and is a past winner of the Montreal International Piano Competition. Based in New York City (where Stokes and he attended the same high school), Basquin’s credits outside the genre of classical music include playing piano on soundtracks of several films by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, including “Baseball”, “Mark Twain” and “Brooklyn Bridge”. He tours with the Aeolian Chamber Players and has been a featured artist at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria, and each summer travels to Maine as a faculty artist at the Bowdoin International Music Festival. Although an acclaimed performer, Basquin might well be called an “educator”, at heart. He was a faculty piano professor at Hunter College for more than 30 years, and on Friday, he will be back in the tutorial role conducting a “master” class on the Whittier stage for noted island pianists Grisha Krivchenia, Robin Lohrey, Stella Joh, Grace Williams and Ghatan. You can drop in and watch the professor at work, at no charge. The theatre’s Business Partner for Basquin’s performance is Kings Market. Tickets are $26 for adults, $13 for student reserved; $5 student RUSH, day of the show. Island piano students can attend the concert for $5 as well.

Around Town Set sail in the 42nd Annual Shaw Classic
On your mark. Get set, “Go”. Bragging rights will be hanging in the breeze when the 42nd Annual Shaw Classic gets under way at noon, Aug. 11, in Friday Harbor. It’s once around Shaw Island, headed in either direction, clockwise or counterclockwise, and then the first boat back to Friday Harbor is the winner. Participants will be grouped into divisions depending upon boat type, class and handicap rating. Categories include multi-hulls, unballasted centerboards, registered Performance Handicap Racing Fleet vessels and cruising sailboats of all sizes and rigs. As always, the Classic’s fundamental nautical challenge is determining which route to take, by factoring in currents, winds and projected boat on the day of the race. Following the race, winners will be announced at a traditional
lasagna dinner. Entry forms for the Classic, sponsored by San Juan Island Yacht Club, can be obtained by email, fleetcaptain@sjiyc.com, or by contacting SJI Yacht Club, 378-3434, or by download, at www.sjiyc.com. Entries must be received at the Yacht Club by no later than 8 p.m., Friday, Aug. 10.
Playwrights... your time is now
It may be early August, but San Juan Community Theatre is seeking submissions now for its annual winter showcase of locally penned plays, scripts and monologues. So, aspiring playwrights, it’s time to get your act together. Performance dates of the Community Theatre’s Playwrights Showcase 2013, formerly known as Islands Playwrights Festival, are Jan. 24-27, Jan. 31, and Feb. 1-3 of 2013. Selected scripts will feature 10-minute, and 20 to 40-minutes plays, as well as monologues, all of which are written by San Juan County residents. Deadline to enter is Sept. 17. The entry fee is $20 per script (one script for each author in each category), which the theatre will match to help offset the cost of the three off-island judges who will select the winners. Winners will be announced in October,
with auditions in early November. The theatre encourages playwrights to attend a meeting of the Playwrights Alliance, Aug. 15, at 7 p.m., in the SJCT upstairs conference room. Find information and instructions about the submission process at theatre box office, or online at, www.sjctheatre.org. For questions, contact SJCT’s Susan Williams, 378-3211, ext. 33.

Our Retirement Sale Continues…
In 2011, NOAA Fisheries Service adopted new regulations under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and Endangered Species Act to protect all killer whales. 1. The ONE place not to be is in the path of whales. Don’t position your vessel in the path of oncoming whales within 400 yards of a whale 2. Stay at least TWO hundred yards away from any killer whale (200 yards = the distance of two football fields or about 200 meters). 3. Remember these THREE ways to Be Whale Wise: follow the guidlines for viewing all wildlifte, check for local protected areas and restrictions, and always be safe. WHO do the new rules apply to? All motorized and non motorized vessels (including kayaks), with exceptions to maintain safe navigation and for certain types of vessels in the course of official duties, ships in the shipping lanes, research vessels under permit, and vessels lawfully engaged in commercial or treaty Indian fishing that are actively setting, retrieving, or closely tending fishing gear. WHAT do the new rules say? Except for specific exceptions, it is unlawful for any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to: I. Cause a vessel to approach, in any manner within 200 yards (182.9 m) of any killer whale. II. Position a vessel to be in the path of any killer whale at any point located within 400 yards (365.8 m) of the whale. WHEN do the new rules go into effect? May 16, 2011 WHERE do the new rules apply? In inland waters of Washington State- east of the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and south of the U.S./Canada international boundary.

WHY did NOAA adopt new regulations? Southern Resident killer whales were listed as endangered in 2005. Vessel impacts were identified as one of the threats. These new regulations implement an action in the recovery plan and are designed to protect all killer whales by reducing impacts from vessels. Additional background information on the rationale and analyses to support the regulations are available at
