A Lopez Island man was ordered to serve 30 days in jail for walking away from the scene of high-speed crash and leaving behind a friend whose injuries proved too severe for him to leave the scene.

On Aug. 3, Jon Eric Ogston, 50, pleaded guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of felony hit-and-run, a Class C felony offense, and to reckless driving, a gross misdemeanor. As a first-time felony offender, Ogston qualified for sentencing below the standard range of sentencing set by the state,

three to nine months in jail, and was ordered to serve 30 days in jail and to pay $1,200 in fines and fees.

Under the sentence handed down by Judge Don Eaton, Ogston will be allowed to serve 30 days on the Sheriff’s Department work crew, in lieu of jail.

The court received about 20 letters from family, friends and business associates of Ogsten, vouching for his character and asking for leniency in sentencing.

According to court documents, Ogston left his home and drove to Hummel Lake in the early evening of a midOctober day to pick up a friend who had been at the lake, along with his dog, relaxing and drinking, and wanted to get a ride back to his home.

Ogston had also been drinking prior to getting into his car and leaving for the lake, according to court

records.

The two men were southbound on Lopez Sound Road at about 7 p.m. when Ogston reportedly swerved to avoid a deer, lost control of his Honda Civic along a bend in the road, shot across the roadway and then slammed head-on into a tree.

The two men were traveling at about 60 mph when Ogston lost control of the vehicle, according to court documents.

The force of the impact thundered through the floorboard below the front passenger seat, shattering the heel bone of Ogsten’s friend and causing a shard of broken bone to puncture an artery, which in turn bled to a life-threatening degree in the hour or so that followed. Ogsten left the scene of the crash and walked to See felony, page 8

and Lopez and possibly San Juan as the board attempts to fill upcoming vacancies and balance membership among the islands.

The San Juan County Arts Council evolved in 2009 as a result of discussions to address the arts and further the potential of the artists in the county. Their mission is to promote and integrate the artistic resources of the county for the creative economic development, education and overall well-being of the county communities.

SJCAC has the potential to offer exciting and innovative benefits to all the creative arts and artists in the islands.

It is a nonprofit, which reflects all creative endeavors and it is expected that board members will enjoy helping to create and administer artistic projects, and/or have experience with general administration, art patronage, or nonprofit fund raising challenges.

Meetings are monthly and this year the board met on 1st Thursdays. Since this is a county-wide council, the meetings have rotated among the islands with the times varying depending on ferry schedules. Regular attendance at board meetings is essential for the council to work effectively.

The term of office is usually three years and previous board experience is a plus.

Overreaching CAO buffer restrictions Did you know that CAO provisions on Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas and Wetlands pending before the county council would declare our entire shoreline to be a “critical” area, and turn shoreline setbacks into “buffers?”

Setbacks and buffers are NOT the same. Setbacks govern where structures can be placed, but buffers govern what you are allowed to do on your land. The new restrictions are not limited to shorelines, but also extend buffers around “streams” and wetlands, and will enable the county to regulate almost everything we do in areas of our land declared to be “buffers.”

Why should you need county permission to use your property to: Walk your dog or ride your horse? Picnic near the shore or by a stream? Play softball or Frisbee during a family gathering? (“Hiking” and “birdwatching” are okay.)

Fly a kite or radio controlled airplane?

Rather than prohibiting only specific activities that are proven harmful to habitat, the proposed CAO allows structures, uses and activities in buffers only if they are specifically listed and approved. Any activity that is not listed and approved in the regulations is prohibited, unless the owner secures a provisional/conditional use permit or variance, subject to additional requirements imposed by the County.

(See Table 3.10 in the FWHCA Section and Table 3.8 of the Wetland Section (current draft at http://bit.ly/OUNN6C).

It may be true that you will be allowed to “keep doing what you’re already doing,” if you can prove, to the satisfaction of the planning department, that you have used the area for the specific activity prior to the CAO, that you haven’t abandoned the activity, and the “degree of nonconformity is not increased.”

It is not too late to stop this unwarranted overreaching in the guise of environmental protection. If you value the use of your land and the rural character of our community, call your county council representatives and attend the hearing on Aug. 21.

Spotlight on Seniors

by Gretchen Wing

Bill Kintzley, Lopez Island “I hate to sound cliched,” says Bill Kintzley¸ “but the more you give, the more you get.”

He is talking about his involvement in Lopez’s Hospice and Home Support program, but he might as well be describing his life.

After 30 years of teaching American adolescents, then two more with mixed-age classes in Africa, Bill does not see why retirement should force him to quit working to help people.

Bill’s understated speaking style makes a teacher’s challenging life seem no big deal. He never dreamed of being a teacher – his father’s career – but after graduating from University of Washington, the prospect seemed more inviting.

He sums up three decades of teaching middle school science in Olympia this way: “Some days were really neat; some days you thought, ‘What am I doing here?’”

With equal casualness, Bill describes meeting his wife Sue on a blind date set up by a former girlfriend, who “said no, she didn’t want to get together that evening, but [she knew] someone who would … and that’s how that went.”

Bill and Sue have been married for 48 years, producing a vibrant family of four daughters and 10 grandchildren.

Hearing of the Kintzleys’ first move upon retirement produces a kind of aural double-take: wait, you did what? The Peace Corps?

Two weeks after retiring from your jobs as teacher

and nurse you went to…

Ghana? For two years?

They did indeed.

Bill explains that he got the idea from his own parents’ Peace Corps involvement back in 1970. After investigating the prospect, Bill and Sue expressed a preference for some Pacific Rim country. Maybe one of the islands, Southeast Asia…? So Ghana was a surprise.

“Well sure, we’d like to go to Ghana … where’s Ghana?”

Upon receiving this assignment, Bill says, “I went down to the library and looked at the atlas” to find out exactly where they would be spending the next two years.

The contrast between teaching Ghanaians and Americans was night and day.

“They are so appreciative of any opportunity … very few discipline problems. It really takes the wind out of your sails if you do have to scold a student … they’ll just stand there and nod their head … and when you’re done … they say, ‘Thank you, Mr. Kintzley.’”

With admiration, he notes how his Ghanaian students would struggle to pay their

Volunteers do ever ything from driving folks to appointments, preparing meals, or helping with home maintenance, but Bill notes that a major part of the job is simply “visiting.” He and other volunteers spend up to two hours a week, although the time varies with the need.

puts it differently: “Bill is one of my saints,” she says.

“I could call and say I’ve got a person who needs help this afternoon at 2, and he would be there … He’s very present for others.”

Bill and Sue both note that the ranks of volunteers have thinned in recent years, and Sue adds a little recruitment pitch: “It’s a neat way to give back to this community, and it’s such a Lopezy thing.”

Both agree their work contains an aspect of “paying it forward,” as well as

providing a sense of security that, down the road, someone might do the same for them.

Bill’s retired life is hardly retiring; his activities include church, gardening, crabbing, and hunting with his sons-in-law. But Home Support is the real centerpiece for him and Sue, and, far from expecting praise for all their hard work, Bill drops another line too heartfelt to be a cliche: “No matter what you do, you always go away feeling good.”

The high energy of Mamatamba’s music and dance

By Aimee Nassoiy

Special to the Islands’ Weekly

The very first time I heard Zimbabwean music being played on marimbas was at an early 1980’s Northwest Folklife Festival.

I remember watching Lora Chiora, a Shona woman of short stature, playing the big bass instrument with mallets like small sledge hammers. She played with such passion, and the dance music was so compelling, I declared right on the spot that someday I would play this music.

In 1985 there was a community effort on Lopez to build a family of wooden keyed percussion instruments, called marimbas, based on the instruments used by the late Dr. Dumisani Maraire, better known as Dumi from Zimbabwe. The marimbas built by the Lopez community are presently used at

Lopez School.

In 1991, Michael Bradley, aka Michael Breez, moved to Lopez Island. Michael had performed with Dumi, in one of the first Seattle marimba bands playing Zimbawean music. On Lopez, Michael founded Matendo marimba ensemble, which included myself and other musicians.

Matendo toured and performed for a couple of years.

Then Michael and his wife moved to San Juan Island.

Of all types of music I have been involved in, playing marimba is a high energy blend of music and dance. I wanted to keep playing marimbas on Lopez, and formed the Mamatamba

ensemble.

Mamatamba, in the Shona language of Zimbabwe, means Mother sing, play and dance. The band has played on Lopez, other islands in the San Juans, Canada, and at Zimbabwean Music Festivals. Mamatamba had so many strong singers in the group that we also start-

Vocal acuity is honed with experience and practice. Vocal blend has a certain amount of chemistry and magic. Mamatamba is blessed both with acuity and magic. Over years the band turned away from playing marimbas, focusing instead on our singing.

Mamatamba has been asked to sing at weddings, funerals, graduations, birthday celebrations, as well as benefit performances. One memorable time was singing for Margaret Devoe’s memorial celebration.We were told we would sing before her children spoke, but this was not how the ceremony progressed.

spoke with passion about their mother, and there were not many dry eyes in the crowd. As Mamatamba filed up to sing, I muttered “now we’ll find out how well we can sing while we are weeping.” As we began to sing, the power of song came forward and carried the group past our own emotions. Mamatamba has also performed together for a long enough time to sing for graduations of grown children who listened to our rehearsals from the womb.

Election results: Proposition 1 squeaks by

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

San Juan County voters last week handed their local government a lifeline of new revenue in the form of a three-tenths of 1 percent increase in the local sales tax.

If you’re doing the math, that’s .003, or 30 cents on a $100 purchase, with most groceries, professional services -- like doctors and lawyers -- and prescription medication excluded.

The sales-tax measure, Proposition 1 on the ballot, slipped under the primaryelection wire with a victory in one of the lightest elections in recent memory.

With 600 ballots or so left to count, the measure drew 53 percent of 5,884 ballots tallied as of Aug. 9, or 2,788 votes, with voter-turnout hovering just a notch above 47 percent.

Only 312 votes separated failure from success, but after two tallies, with 4,258 ballots counted on election night and another 1,226 the next, the margin was large enough and votingtrend consistent enough for Auditor Milene Henley, manager of the County Elections Office, to declare

Prop. 1 a winner.

Sheriff Rob Nou was elated, if not surprised, by the result.

“Surprised? I don’t know that I’d say that,” Nou said. “I think it’s more like relieved, and very grateful.”

In recent weeks, the Sheriff’s Department has been one of several agencies firmly planted in the crosshairs of the county budget team, tasked with having to balance a 2013 budget with a projected shortfall of $800,000, possibly more, on the revenue side of the county’s primary funding mechanism, its general fund.

Totaling $16.8 million in 2013, tentatively, the general fund pays the bulk of most county day-to-day

expenses, but with roughly half that total restricted and earmarked solely for specific programs or personnel.

Of the half considered “discretionar y,” County Administrator Bob Jean notes that about 50 percent of that amount, nearly $4 million, would flow into the sheriff’s budget if funding levels were to remain at status quo.

In addition to paying officer salaries, the sheriff’s budget also covers the cost of dispatch, 911, jail expenses, corrections and the emergency management department.

Cuts in the sheriff’s budget would be difficult to avoid, Jean said, without an influx of new and unrestricted revenue, which Prop. 1

of cash must be used, in accordance with state law, exclusively on government services that fall into the category of public safety, such as law enforcement or criminal justice services, public health or road safety projects. It would, however, free up an equal amount of revenue in the general fund that has historically covered such expenses.

effect, beginning Jan. 1, of next year, it is expected to generate roughly $1 million a year, 40 percent of which will, by state law, go directly to the Town of Friday Harbor.

While proceeds from Prop.1 are expected to help soften the county’s budgetary woes by generating $600,000 of new revenue each year, that new cache

will provide.

Sheriff’s Log San Juan County Sheriff’s Depar tment repor ted responding to these calls: July 20: Falling debris from an unsecured load prompted the arrest of a San Juan Island man for a series of driving offenses.

The 29-year-old, pulled over on Boyce Road at about 9 a.m., was taken into custody for driving without a license and identification, and without a court-ordered interlock device. He was pulled over for allowing large chunks of roofing material to spill onto the roadway from the trailer that he was pulling at the time.

WWW.ISLANDSWEEKLY.COM

July 25: A San Juan Island man claims someone removed two oil filters off a heavy piece of construction machinery, which caused its engine to seize up, in an apparent act of vandalism.

The engine is expected to cost $9,000 to repair.

July 29: A San Juan Island man claims someone broke into his cabin and made off with 24 bottles of booze and a couple bottles of red wine. The value of the missing stockpile of liquor, stored in the 59-year-old’s Wai Mala Lane cabin, is valued at nearly $900.

– A San Juan Island woman was arrested for driving with a suspended license after being pulled over near the intersection of Spring and West Streets -- in error -- for driving without a seatbelt. The 54-year-old reportedly failed to pay a $12 ticket and was unaware that her license had been suspended.

July 31: A high-speed collision on Bailer Hill Road prompted the arrest of a San Juan Island man for DUI in mid-afternoon.

The 53-year-old reportedly didn’t see and failed to stop for another driver traveling

through the intersection at False Bay Road, and clipped the backside of that car at a high-rate of speed. Both drivers escaped the crash without serious injury.

-- A familiar face and a pair of warrants prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man who spent the last year with a relative in California.

The 24-year-old, arrested twice in 2011 for DUI and a no-show in court on either charge a year ago, was taken into custody one week after his island return.

Aug. 1: A 16-year-old San Juan Island boy was ticketed for driving too fast for conditions after driving head-on into a tree near the intersection of Cessna Avenue and Tarted Road. The boy claims that he lost control of his pickup while swerving to avoid a deer.

-- A car stereo, a flashlight, hand tools and a couple of Rice Crispy Treats are among the missing items from a San Juan Island woman’s car following an apparent latenight break-in on Warbass Way. Someone reportedly ransacked the sedan’s interior and carried off $1,800 of equipment, tools and personal belongings.

The Islands’ Weekly • www.islandsweekly.com • August 14, 2012 – Page 6

-- A call from a San Juan Island homeowner about suspicious behavior of two men and a woman, all in their mid-20s, led to the arrest of a 24-year-old Friday Harbor man for DUI. Tracked down by the license number of his pickup, the man was taken into custody in the parking area of Jackson’s Beach at about 6 p.m. He also faces burglary charges involving an earlier break-in and theft at a Bailer Hill Road home.

Aug. 4: A yard tractor vanished from an Orcas Island barn in an apparent case of theft. The 42-inch tractor, valued at $900, was one of two tractors stored in the barn, which reportedly was unlocked at the time the tractor theft, in the 100 block of Sea Acres Road.

Aug. 5: A late-night traffic stop prompted the arrest of a San Juan Island for DUI. The 44-year-old, who was pulled over near the intersection of Roche Harbor Road and Three Meadows Lane for a traffic violation -unidentified in the incident report, was taken into custody shortly before 1 a.m.

-- Two San Juan Island men had their three water blasters confiscated after

using one to douse a man strolling along the end of his Pear Point Road driveway unsuspectingly. Caught by surprise, the man, recuperating from a recent knee surgery, reportedly aggravated the wounded knee when he was struck by a blast of water and, rather than pressing charges, thought a lecture was in order. The two men, targeting unwary strangers as they drove around in a pickup in mid-afternoon, reportedly believed that the man appeared in need of being cooled down and questioned whether spraying someone with water was a punishable activity.

-- Allegations of assault led to the arrest of a San Juan Island man who reportedly set fire to a household item on the porch at his Tucker Avenue when an officer arrived to question him about an earlier altercation at the home. The 25-yearold, accused of attacking his mother, reportedly lunged at the officer as he attempted to put out the fire. He faces charges of assault, reckless burning, resisting arrest, vandalism and interfering with a report of

domestic violence.

-- Use of a cellphone while driving prompted the arrest of a man from Kent following an early evening traffic stop in Friday Harbor. The 25-year-old, who was pulled over near the intersection of Guard Street and Tucker Avenue at about 7:30 p.m., was issued a criminal citation for driving with a suspended license.

Aug. 6: Two men caught rummaging through the inventory of a San Juan Island commercial recycling center in the predawn hours face charges of theft and criminal trespass. The men, a Bellingham 37-yearold and a Friday Harbor 30-year-old, were taken into custody at the center in the 6000 block of Roche Harbor Road shortly before 3 a.m.

Aug. 7: An early morning snooze along the side of the road prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man for DUI. The 46-yearold, who was taken into custody in the 400 block of Mount Constitution Road at about 8 a.m., was reportedly asleep behind the wheel of his Buick Regal, with the engine running, when a park ranger happened by.

We’re going to small farmers, seeing the hard work they are doing.” ments, a driver stopped at the scene shortly after Ogsten had left and called 911. His friend was flown to a Bellingham hospital where his injuries were treated, and where an emergency room doctor told authorities that the man would likely have died from loss of blood without timely treatment of his wound.

In late November, Ogsten was charged with reckless driving and felony hit-andrun, which carries maximum penalties of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both. Prosecutors later upped the felony hit-andrun charge to vehicular assault, a Class B felony, and then agreed to reduce the charge back down to the lesser felony with expectation of a guilty plea to that offense.
