Brickworks readies for remodel

PeaceHealth mulls partnership with Catholic Health hospital group

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

Like a latter-day E.F. Hutton avatar, when Jim Barnhardt starts talking, people listen.

After an hour of various reports and announcements, the Aug. 22 Hospital Commission meeting moved into high gear when PeaceIsland Hospital CEO Jim Barnhardt started talking about a newly-proposed joint operating agreement between Peace Health Systems, the parent of PeaceIsland Hospital, and Catholic Health Initiatives of Engelwood, Colo.

Barnhardt said the agreement would not be finalized until sometime in 2013 and that it is expected to result in joint operations of nine Peace Health System hospitals in Washington, Oregon and California and eight Franciscan Hospitals in Washington and Oregon.

The joint operation would be run by a new board with members drawn from both organizations, and would itself be part of the Catholic Health See Merger, Page 4

An abundance of locally grown produce is just one of many items available at the Farmers’ Market, Saturdays, at the Brickworks Plaza, in Friday Harbor’s Sunshine Alley.

Candidates air issues at GOP event

See Brickworks, Page 4 District 3 County Council candidate Marc Forlenza addresses the crowd at the annual GOP Big Red Barn campaign event, Saturday, Aug. 25.

By Steve Wehrly Journal Reporter

If success of the Republican Big Red Barn event on Saturday, Aug. 25, was measured by the quality of the barbecued salmon, local party activists and candidates would give Republican Chair Michelle Loftus’s gathering “two thumbs up.”

County Council candidate Marc Forlenza said he liked the salmon “just fine” and appreciated the opportunity to tell the 60 or so

Build it, and they will come.

It’s perhaps a bit of a cliche, but that phrase fits the San Juan Island Agricultural Guild and its Brickworks project to a tee.

And the Agricultural Guild passed yet another milepost last week in its planned renovation of the Brickworks building, former home of Friday Harbor Brick and Tile Company and last remaining industrial building in downtown Friday Harbor, as it received a permit allowing for renovation and remodel of the historic building’s interior to proceed.

Ag Guild spokesman Stephen Robbins said the success of the events taking place on Brickworks outdoor plaza -- Tuesday’s Music Night, Thursday’s Art Marker and the Farmers’ Market on Saturday -- serve as tangible evidence of the vision of revitalization and community gathering spot that Brickworks has always intended to be.

“I think it’s jelling in people’s minds now,” Robbins said. “It’s not just the vision of one or two people any longer, people can actually see it at work.”

“I’m not seeking party endorsements,” Forlenza stated, who said the county Democratic Party, which has endorsed Forlenza’s opponent, “hasn’t returned my

phone call” asking to appear at a Democratic event in the county.

Forlenza told the audience that the sales tax increase approved by the voters in the recent primary See CANDIDATES, Page 4

County seeks providers, participants for new transportation program San Juan County is starting a Transportation Voucher Program to provide transportation assistance to island residents who meet senior, veteran, low-income or disabled eligibility requirements.

The program is seeking residents to participate, and businesses or individuals to provide, transportation services.

The Transportation Voucher Program is part of the San Juan County Community Transportation Program, a state grant-funded effort to raise public awareness about existing transportation options, provide better access to transportation services to qualified residents, and define the county transportation system of the future.

Residents may check eligibility requirements and apply using the San Juan County Community Transportation webpages (www.sanjuanco.com/publictransport). Or, contact a senior coordinator, family resource representative, or Christopher Aiken, 360-370-7512; christophera@sanjuanco.com.

To be eligible for transportation assistance, you must be a county resident and over age 60, a U.S. military veteran, disabled, or low-income (income under $25,000 last year).

Transportation providers of all types - taxi companies, bike shops, personal drivers and auto repair shops - will be considered for the program.

“We’re trying to establish a broad palette of transportation options to best fit the diverse needs of our community members who are vulnerable to gaps in our transportation system,” program coordinator Christopher Aiken said.

Aiken said that providers must apply, meet with program directors and sign a simple contract. Providers must wait up to two weeks for financial reimbursement. More information about becoming a provider of transportation services is available at the Community Transportation webpages (www.sanjuanco.com/publictransport), or contact Aiken, contact info above.

Two to share Orcas dump operation Cimarron, Orcas Recycling picked as partners

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

The second verse was not the same as the first.

Orcas Recycling Services capitalized on a second chance to be part of the solid waste solution on Orcas Island by persuad-

ing the County Council to include them in contract negotiations for operation of the Orcas transfer site.

The council has been seeking private operators to provide solid waste collection and disposal services at its facilities on San Juan, Orcas and Lopez islands after voters in November last year rejected a property tax parcel fee to fund the county’s solid waste operations.

Lopez citizens started the

ball rolling immediately by proposing to operate the Lopez facility, a proposal approved by the council with the creation of the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District.

The council also approved the Lopez citizens proposal to partially fund the new disposal district’s operations by putting a Lopez-only property tax increase on the November ballot.

The council in May directed the Public Works Department to issue a Request for Proposals for waste transfer and self-haul services at the county-owned Orcas Island transfer station.

Management, and Orcas Recycling Services, operators of the Exchange re-use service at the Orcas station, submitted proposals. After a vendor selection process recommended granting the contract to Cimarron, the council reopened the process by asking both parties to respond to further questions.

After reviewing extensive answers from both parties, the council, by a 5-1 vote on Aug. 21, authorized Public Works Director Frank Mulcahy to negotiate contracts with both Cimarron Trucking and Orcas Recycling Services for joint operations at the Orcas site.

Councilman Rich Peterson, North San Juan, commended the Vendor Selection Committee final report, saying, “The report is very clear, giving a good sense of how to proceed to negotiate with both parties.”

In making the motion for the dual negotiations, Councilman Richard Fralick, who represents half of Orcas Island, summarized what he thought should happen: “Contract negotiations should take into account the strengths of both sides - Cimarron dealing with the high volume of waste [from curbside collection by San Juan Sanitation] and Orcas Recycling to do its thing in pursuit of long-term goals to reduce waste and enhance recycling and reuse.”

Mulcahy didn’t think either the budget or the timeline would be adversely affected by including two parties, admitting that multiple vendors would make negotiations “more complex than with one, but I don’t see a problem negotiating with two parties.”

Spring Steet’s ‘Deli of Dreams’

It’s time to invest in renewable energy!

Solar panel prices have fallen dramatically AND you can earn seven times the cost of the power when you install now.

’Boffo’ grand opening Aug. 4; 50 loaves of bread out the door the first day

‘Early adoptors’ benefit from more lucrative production incentives and incentives can be locked down for a ten year period.

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

To David and Laura Flaum, it’s almost like a “Field of Dreams” scenario: “If you build the sandwiches, they will come.”

The deli half of the Spring Street General Store and Deli attracted an all-day-long full house when David and Laura started serving “build-your-own deli sandwiches with all the trimmings” on Saturday, Aug. 4.

“We had to call Bakery San Juan for more Giovanni bread,” said Laura. David added, “We’ve sold or made into sandwiches 50 loaves of bread on some days.”

They buy everything they can in the San Juans, including their locally-roasted Orcas Island coffees, almost all vegetables, the pasta, and several local cheeses and sauces.

The deli has six new employees, but Laura does a lot of the cooking and David piles the meats and cheeses onto the sandwiches when the deli's busy. She’s going to be serving New York deli-style hot sandwiches as daily or weekly specials – “Mama Laura’s Famous Homemade Meatball Sandwiches” are scheduled for Tuesday – and she expects

to be making at least one soup du jour. Store-carved turkey sandwiches will be soon be a regular offering, Laura says.

David says he knows the pace will slow after Labor Day, but he’s knows that “at least half, maybe more” of his customers are local “because I know a lot of them, and many others buy a sandwich and tell me they’ve been just waiting for us to open.”

And you can still get the quarter-pound hot dogs at the General Store.

Back to School: Year Two for FHES’ Martin New elementary school roof: ‘On time and under budget,’ superintendent says

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

The big news at Friday Harbor Elementary School on opening day is an update of last year's news: Connie Martin starts her second year as principal.

Nobody knew quite what to expect last September when Martin took over as principal. This year, the students, their parents, the teachers and the School Board know who she is and what to expect — and nobody’s complaining.

“She’s proved herself to me,” said Brent Snow, school board president. “More importantly, she proved herself to parents and their youngsters.”

Snow also points out that Martin's advocacy for her school convinced the board to approve an additional full-time teacher to reduce class size at the 420-student grade school.

Martin is looking forward to thanking “all the parents and community members who showed me their support.”

There is something new at the school, though — the roof.

“On time and under budget,” crowed Superintendent Rick Thompson, who thanked voters for passing the levy making possible an extensive remodel of the 25 year-old building.

Thompson is looking forward to thanking parents and supporters, and welcoming ten new teachers and staff, at the annual Aug. 27 faculty and staff breakfast at the high school.

That’s just two days before the high school and middle school start up this year, with just under 400 students, combined.

“I’m always excited to start a new school year,” said Fred Woods, principal of both the middle school and high school. “We’ve got some new technology learning resources financed by the levy and we’re adding advanced placement biology” to the award-winning AP program already in place.

Another school with a passel of new students is Spring Street International School, which on Sept. 4 opens a new fifth grade, welcomes three new teachers, and inaugurates a new classroom building, the first of three new buildings started at the school in the historic Nash House on Spring Street.

“The building projects are great news for the school, but I’m more excited about working with our 85 wonderful kids,” said Louis O’Prussack, now in his fifth year as head of the school.

Stillpoint School and Paideia Classical School, both starting Sept. 4, are opening on high notes of different kinds.

Jill Urbach is joining Paideia School as a teacher.

Stillpoint School announced a “milestone” in its six-year

history, establishment of the Sally W. Bryan scholarship fund.

Kids grouse summer is over too soon; teachers wonder whether the kids remember anything from last year; administrators try to anticipate disruptions; parents worry their children are growing up too fast. But everybody is excited in one way or another by the prospects and problems of the new school year.

Friday Harbor Brick and Tile, which manufactured blocks used in the construction of various Friday Harbor buildings, including Town Hall, the interior of the historic building is expected to serve as the home of a year-round farmers’ market, a venue for events, and contain a certified commercial kitchen and storefront once its remodel and “enhancements” are complete. The Guild will need to raise about $300,000 to finance the remodel and another $140,000 to install the kitchen, storefront and several other add-ons, Robbins said.

“We hope to start as soon as possible,” he said of the remodel and renovation. “The timing of it is somewhat dependent on funding. Hopefully, it will be ready to go by next summer.”

a conservation easement to the Land Bank. The town council also backed away from investing in Brickworks several months before the county council retreated from the project.

Delayed but not deterred, the Guild pressed ahead and bought the building with a $300,000 loan, a $375,000 state grant and a $100,000 federal USDA grant, as well as assorted donations.

With building plans approved and contractor resources committed, the Ag Guild is simultaneously launching a major capital campaign to not only complete the building renovation, but also to retire the remaining debt relating to the project’s overall funding.

“Initial contributions will allow us to proceed with the renovation as soon as they are received,” said the Ag Guild’s Susie Wampler. “Our next significant payment on the current debt is not due until November of 2013, though we aim to raise the funds we are seeking long before that.”

Monica Harrington, a women’s health care activist and co-chair of Washington Women for Choice, was skeptical, telling Barnhardt, the Hospital Commission and the audience of ten, that women on San Juan Island, where she lives part of the year, must be assured that the tax money collected from all the people in San Juan County will not be used to restrict women’s health care rights or advance the

religious agenda or doctrines of any church.

After the meeting, Barnhardt stated, “The proposed partnership will have no adverse impact on either the PeaceIsland startup or on the commitment to provide the full range of women’s health care service previously provided by Inter-Island Medical Center.”

Barnhardt said that he would be providing a written statement in the next few days confirming his assertions.

“We are now in position to execute the largest part of the project — the renovation of the historic building to provide a year-round indoor space to complement what has already been accomplished at the site,” Kendall said in a press release. “Hosting the Saturday morning Farmers Market, the Thursday evening Art Market, Tuesday Night Out Music, and several special events have already clearly demonstrated the appeal of this multifaceted project and its communityenhancing contribution to the vibrancy of downtown Friday Harbor.”

In addition to financing the remodel through fundraising, Kendall said the Guild also hopes to retire the debt it incurred in purchasing the historic building. The building was purchased two years ago even though the Guild failed to win support of the San Juan County Council for a $400,000 sale of

isn’t going to end the county’s budget problems, saying “the cuts we must make are not going to get any easier” and, “there cannot be any sacred cows” when the county council writes next year’s budget.

Forlenza closed by saying, “I believe in the current county charter”, a statement that Orcas county council candidate Scott Lancaster repeated a few minutes later.

Bob Jarman, running against current Councilwoman Lovel Pratt, focused on supporting property rights, but was equivocal about amending the charter. He repeated his website’s criticism of the council’s actions on the Critical Areas Ordinance, saying, “we’re losing our property rights.”

Jarman promised the gathering, “I will work to preserve property rights” and ended his talk by saying, “If the majority of voters want a council with three instead of six members, they can change it.”

U.S. Senate candidate Michael Baumgartner and U.S. House candidate Dan Matthews were warmly welcomed by the crowd, as was John Swapp, candidate for Washington State Senate, challenging state Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas, in the November general election. All three are in uphill battles against incumbent Democrats, but all three proclaimed optimism, perhaps agreeing with Baumgartner’s closing summation about the election: “It’s going to be a great November because it has to be,” said the state senator, who is trailing U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell after the primary election.

Loftus ended the afternoon’s festivities by auctioning off the leftover salmon, adding about $400 to the local party’s treasury.

From left, Robert O’Neill, Sharon Fishaut, Jean Thomas, Sue Rich and Doug Nelson.

The San Juan County Council at its meeting on Aug. 21 proclaimed that Constitution Week, September 17 to Sept. 23 should be recognized and observed.

Constitution Week was officially inaugurated by President Dwight Eisenhower on August 2, 1956, in response to Resolution of Congress originally suggested by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The purpose of the week is to promote study and understanding of the Constitution, which was originally adopted by the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787.

Receiving the proclamation were officers of the San Juan Islands Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and of the Sons of the American Revolution in full revolutionary war uniforms.

Recording documents?

Fees going up

Beginning Sept. 1, recording a property-related document with the San Juan County auditor’s office will cost you $10 more.

That’s because earlier this year the Washington state Legislature passed legislation that changes the “surcharge” collected in support programs that aid the homeless.

As of today, a surcharge of $30 applies to all recorded documents, with exception of assignments or substitutions of previously recorded deeds of trust, documents recording a birth, marriage, divorce or death, or any document otherwise exempted from a recording fee under state law. The surcharge is added onto a basefee of $32 that applies to all recorded documents.

The $10 increase, in effect Sept. 1, applies only to “documents related to real property”, according to the auditor. The total recording fee for general recorded documents will either be $32 for the first page, if the document is not related to

real property, or $72, if it is.

Which fee applies is based on title, legal description or tax parcel number of a particular document. The cost of second and subsequent pages is $1 per page. For an updated fee schedule, 360378-2161, or kiras@sanjanco.com.

Seniors target of deceptive sales calls

Senior citizens in Clark, Lewis and Thurston counties have been recipients of deceptive telephone solicitations from a company marketing reverse home mortgages. San Juan County Treasurer Jan Sears

warns that anyone receiving such solicitations should refuse to give information and report the call to the Treasure, 378-2171.

The solicitor asks for personal information, such as employment, income, and age, under the guise of attempting to help seniors determine if they qualify for property tax relief or veteran assistance programs.

Solicitors imply they are marketing benefit programs on the state’s behalf. The Washington Department of Revenue says that information provided is incorrect.

The Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division is investigating to determine if further action is required.

Opinion Letters to the Editor

License to meddle? Not so

Sometimes a person can overlook an important fact that would totally change their opinion.

I think this is the case in Colin Maycock’s letter to the editor last week (“Too Many Cooks”, Aug. 22, pg.

7) where he claims that the Charter amendment regarding administration, gives individual council members a license to “meddle” with employees.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

It takes some effort to locate the correct supporting charter language for the change on the county web site. I don’t blame Mr. Maycock for missing section 2.42. He simply reacted to misinformation put out by a negative disingenuous campaign opposed to the charter amendments.

The Charter Review Commission worked hard and spent hours on this issue. Several attorneys reviewed this for accuracy and enforceability.

Here is the exact language that was overlooked. I hope this will clarify the issue of council members “meddling.” They do so at their own peril.

“In all interactions with County employees, County Council members shall exhibit ethical and respectful behavior. No individual County Council member shall direct or discipline, or threaten to direct or discipline, not any County employee, whether department heads, supervisors

or volunteers unless such direction or disciplinary action, or warning concerning such direction or disciplinary action, has first been duly approved by a majority of the County Council...

“Any directives or discipline by County Council members shall be made through the established chain of authority. No disciplinary action by the County Council may be taken with respect to another elected official or an employee or volunteer hired by or reporting to other elected officials.”

Okay, I understand second amendment rights, and I understand the “need” for a hunting rifle or hand gun, but what is the message here for our youth? Guns are the number one political issue of 2012? You need to be prepared to defend against radical Canadians?

Instead, how about next year the Republicans post some signs on their booth inviting spirited discussion, like, “Are you OK with Obama’s tax, borrow, and spend policy?” or, “The deficit, your child’s future,” or, “How can we create more jobs on this island?”

I can’t prove it, but I seriously doubt that any independent voter was swayed toward the Romney/Ryan ticket based on that booth.

Target dealers instead of drivers

Last week an island mother lost her son to the ravages of heroin.

As the father of two teenagers I cannot imagine the pain and suffering of such a loss. No sooner had I returned from the ceremony, when another friend confided that she was sending her son off to rehab to fight his heroin addiction.

After hearing about these two boys, I started questioning other islanders about this plague. According to some, heroin is widely available, even at our own middle school.

Sheriff, we have a serious problem. I am mystified why our sheriff, prosecuting attorney and local

judge have turned a blind eye to this epidemic. Seat belts, expired registration and speeding 28 mph in a 25 mph zone have consumed the attention span of our county’s justice departments. Dealers and addicts seem to be a low priority here.

Not only are these hard drugs bad for the addicts, they create a need to steal to support the habit. One friend had a 48-inch, $10,000 range stolen from his house, another a generator, etc. Occasionally these people get caught, prosecuted and convicted with minimal sentencing, then released to continue the cycle.

I hope you will join with me and tell our county’s justice departments, it’s time to focus on ‘Dealers not Drivers’ and get the hard drugs off the islands. It is time to “Protect and Serve” your tax payers; we are not the problem here.

The Charter has been a good experiment but the adjustments recommended by the Charter Review Committee will make it better.

The three amendment proposals deserve the public’s support.

Many of us find that only being able to have a voice in the choice of 1-in-6 council members under the current charter is far less representative than the proposal to be able to vote for all three council members.

Citizens have also found that trying to get things done and dealing with issues by first going through one council member, then five additional council members, then a county administrator is frustrating.

Lastly, under the current charter, the county administrator pretty much marches to his own drum. It takes a majority of four coun-

cil members to adjust the county’s course and for the poor citizen, there may be no response at all.

Under the 3-council member system that 33 of the 39 counties in the state follow, most citizens and county staff find the system works. When the council can meet with their department heads, discuss and establish policy direction and move forward, everyone knows what they are going to be doing and the work gets done.

If an administrator is assigned special projects by the council, it extends the ability of the council to respond to the citizens.

With a three-member council, no single elected official is in a position to take any action regarding county staff or policy.

Any action is subject to a majority vote of the council that reflects the will of the citizens.

T

he success of Brickworks outdoor plaza in bringing economic and cultural sunshine into Sunshine Alley suggests it’s time to replicate that success with renovation of the Brickworks building itself.

Despite some serious opposition to acquisition of the site by the Agriculture Guild, perseverance and creativity (and some heavy-duty fundraising from private, county, state and national sources) has already turned the former parking lot into a thriving, active venue, not only for sale of local agricultural products on Saturdays, but also for music on Tuesdays and an art market on Thursdays.

Locals and tourists alike flock to the location, making the once-neglected area of the town a community asset — perhaps the best thing that’s happened to downtown Friday Harbor in recent memory.

Now, with town planners giving the go-ahead for the renovation of the Brickworks building itself, we’re calling on former foot-draggers — like the town — to step up and get into the game.

The Ag Guild has demonstrated moxie and competence in execution of Phase I. It now must put together some $440,000 to execute Phase II, which will bring the former pile of bricks into a jewel that people will value, and use, for the next fifty years. They’ve proven themselves.

Certainly local citizens and businesses need to get into the act, and we’re confident they will.

It’s just the kind of project that the Business Improvement District now being formed should embrace and promote. The arts organizations are already on board, and contractors and realtors will no doubt pitch in.

As leaders of our fair village, elected officials and civil servants alike should recognize and work towards the potential the Brickworks holds to revitalize not just Sunshine Alley, but the entire downtown area.

We know you can do it.

he county’s policy is to set employee wages based on the rate of pay for similar positions in surrounding counties and comparable San Juan County employers.

The last compensation study had been done in 19961997. In 2008, at the request of AFSCME Local 1849, the county commissioned a new market study, which was conducted in 2009-2011.

The study included all positions other than law enforcement employees (who are in a separate union) and elected officials (whose salaries are set by the Citizens Salary Commission). Implementation of the study affects 214 regular full and part-time positions.

As expected, some inequalities had developed over the 12 years since the previous study was performed. At the top end, the study found three employees — including two appraisers in the county Assessor’s Office and a program coordinator — were due increases of more than $2 an hour; 19 employees received no increase at all.

The county administration, in cooperation with the union, took steps to minimize the impact on the county’s budget as the study’s findings were implemented. In cases where there were large differences between the current and new pay ranges, employees were moved to the next closest step in the wage scale from their current pay. Most employees received raises ranging from one cent to 99 cents per hour.

To further minimize the impact on the county budget, the implementation of the study included a major, negotiated change to a high-deductible health plan and a one-year freeze of salary step increases.

The study itself was done by a human resources consulting firm specializing in compensation studies, selected

John Evans, Doe Bay

County Commissioner, 1992 to 2004

Professional leader required

I supported the changes made by the charter approved by the voters in 2005.

Thus, I am distressed that Proposition 2 would eliminate the present position of county administrator, a professional position similar to that of a CEO in a private company, with a real role in the leadership of the county.

This position fulfills an important part of the separation of powers concept of governance. The position prevents mismanagement

and inappropriate, politically motivated intrusions into operations by the legislative branch.

The position of county manager proposed by the Charter Review Committee sounds innocent enough but the differences are significant: the manager position is more like an administrative assistant. Because of the lack of separation of the administrative and legislative branch — a key separation that Prop. 2 seeks to undo — the real people in charge would be, like before the charter, a multi-headed council, which, as before, would meddle, giving conflicting direction to the “manager”, causing confusion, stagnation and legal chaos. I choose not to go back to this.

The challenges we face in our county are significant. We need the very best and most highly qualified administrator we can find to direct the complicated day-to-day operations of the county. The only way to ensure that we attract such a competent professional is by keeping the separation of powers and the position of county administrator as set

through a request for proposal process by the county administrator and the union. The firm, HR Answers, used a job analysis questionnaire completed on all county positions and job descriptions, to place positions with similar duties and requirements into the same ranges.

Each position’s ranking was based on weighted job factors: accountability, job knowledge, complexity/scope, relationships with others, physical requirements and working condition, Bob Jean and management/direction of others. The consultants then benchmarked 74 county positions against equivalent positions within nearby Washington counties. The consultants also contacted 62 San Juan County employers for wage comparisons. Ten employers did provide data: three school districts, one municipality, one excavation firm, one insurance agency, one bank, one care center, and one utility company.

From all of this data, the consultants developed a new salary structure for county positions that represented the average of market rates for the same jobs in comparator counties. HR Answers worked with the county council, the union, and administration staff to ensure consistency and equity in the study process.

We believe the results of the compensation study insure fairness in setting pay ranges within the county’s diverse professional and support positions, and will ensure the county will be able to recruit and retain the experienced professionals it needs to provide the quality of services its citizens demand.

Open letter to County Council

The Best Available Science should have provided a clear problem and reason for the choice of buffer sizes.

To date, staff and Dr. Adamus have only cited one problem, “reduction of nitrogen”, as the basis for county staff ’s recommended buffer sizes.

At the March 6 Planning Commission meeting, Dr. Adamus’s testimony on the Mayer, 2007 paper, notes that the Mayer 2007 paper is not in alignment with our local conditions. Also, since nitrogen is part of nature’s nitrate cycle and part of the resilience of nature’s cycle, staff and Dr. Adamus have remained silent and have been unable to answer the questions citizens keep asking: “Where is the problem?”, and “Where is the county’s review that shows a need for larger buffers?”

Absent answers to these

most basic questions, your fiduciary duty is to do no harm to our economy by taking away the use of our property.

The “precautionary principle”, as noted in the Rio Declaration, says the precautionary principle was to be used where there is “significant probability of irreversible harm”. The specific question to Dr. Adamus and staff is, what significant probability or irreversible harm is being addressed with the planned CAO changes? This has not been answered.

Staff is choosing to misuse the precautionary principle, and they are about to pull our county into years of litigation. If you follow science, rather than theories or scare tactics, you will avoid years of litigation.

Why not follow other municipalities that have avoided litigation, rather than those that have had to endure years of litigation?

In fact, even the maps the county is going to be using for wetlands have been identified by staff as being factually inaccurate.

Decatur, and his brother, Travis of Spokane, Wash., fished commercially together for many years every summer along with their cousin, Morris Jones and his son, William, and close friend, Greg Acton.

In Alaska, an entire network of fisherman close to the family is grieving. Being down here, I only know personally a few, but Ernie and Janice Carlson are very close to our Decatur fisherman and were helpful when this loss occurred via the telephone to us on Decatur, and to those family members in Chignik.

Chris was only 25 years old and besides his brother and father, he leaves his mother, Colleen Morgan Johnson, also of Spokane, where she lives near Travis and Megen, and their daughter, Taryn Georgia.

Other grieving relatives include his uncle and aunt, Patrick and Irmah McCarthy of Stanwood and their daughters, Laurie and Kelly, and their children; his aunt Susan and uncle Mike Walker of Yelm, their son Richard, wife, Lindsay and baby Sebastion.

Mori and Norine Jones and their children, and Karen and George Lamb and their children, are also devastated by this loss. Also grieving is a Decatur friend, Lauren Peabody, and Chris' long-time girlfriend, Bri Leask of Edmonds, Wash.

Christopher was born on May 28, 1987 in Everett, Wash.

He attended grade school in Everett and high school on Lopez Island, where he was on the basketball team.

After high school, in addition to fishing in Alaska during the commercial salmon season, Chris has been employed as a cement finisher, a crab fisherman and, as most people on Decatur, has worked on construction jobs and other endeavors.

Chris' grandfather, Raymond Johnson, came to Decatur with his widowed mother and other family members in 1934, from Barton, N.D. Raymond's uncles, Henry and Paul Pederson, built a house for their widowed sister which is now the caretakers home at Decatur Northwest. So you see,

Decatur friends and relatives are grieving for the loss of a vibrant and neighborly young man, friendly, kind and jovial. He liked to laugh, play tricks and enriched our lives with his wit and caring.

There is nothing he wouldn't help with if asked, and this last few years he and his lovely girlfriend, Bri, have been a great addition to the community. While he was not known as serious, it was always clear that he loved his friends, family and this island.

Dawni Williams of Decatur put it well when she said she would “miss his big bear hugs...for he was a strong, tall man”. As Dawni went on to elaborate, she was sure that “God had to make him big to hold all that love and fun for a smaller body would just not be big enough for all that was our dear Chris."

Wolverines face Seahawks in season opener FH tested early on the road in clash against 2A Anacortes, Friday, 7 p.m.

By Scott Rasmussen

Journal editor

Had it not been for those three losses — by a combined total of just six points — the Seahawks would have been playoff-bound last season for a second year in a row.

Head Coach Darrin Scheffer and crew know they have a formidable task ahead in opening the 2012 season on the road, though not far from home, against the Seahawks, this Friday, Aug. 31. That’s right, season opener in August.

It’s not the Seattle Seahawks we’re talking about, of course. It’s the Anacortes Seahawks, a Division 2A team which, following last year’s nearmiss 4-6 season, is now two years removed from its milestone playoff run,

reaching the quarterfinals of the state tournament for only the third time in school history. Kick off is 7 p.m., in Anacortes.

“We’re starting off the season with a bang, no doubt about it,” Scheffer said. “We’re going to go out there and play our hearts out. The kids are excited.”

In Anacortes, the Wolverines will have a team from a bigger school and a tougher league on their hands. The Seahawks battle the likes of Ferndale, Lyden and Sehome on a regular basis and enter the 2012 season with glory days to recapture. The Wolverines will be looking for a win and for momentum to improve on last year’s 3-7 mark.

Portrait of support Family Aid – Extraordinary Help

By Joyce Sobel of SJI Family Resource Center Special to the Journal

Trish and Jason have been attending baby-toddler-parent groups since Jason was

nine months old.

Trish thinks that they have been great because it has given her the opportunity to interact with other moms,

and Jason the opportunity to socialize with other children.

“They let me see how other moms interact with their children and provide times for us to bounce ideas off of each other too,” Trish says. “Jason loves coming here (Family Resource Center) and it has done wonders for his social and emotional growth.”

Trish and Jason have also been part of the FRC’s home visiting program, which provides support from someone outside of the family.

“Betsey (Ferguson) is awesome,” she says. “Having a home visitor is having someone completely there for you.

Betsey has really helped me grow as a mom. I am more patient with Jason than I might otherwise have been.

nce upon a time, San Juan Island was home of a jazz festival that in its heyday drew audiences that numbered in the thousands. It went for four days. No kidding.

So, perhaps it should come as no surprise that members of the local Lions Club, while brainstorming a year ago about possible fundraisers, agreed that an all-day musical event, with a spotlight on jazz, might fit the bill. In fact, just about everyone was onboard, recalls Tom Starr, who, as a mainstay in the local jazz scene, clearly recalls the popularity of the former jazz fest.

“Though they were mostly from the U.S., the festival drew acts form all over the world,” Starr said.

“We had a band from Germany once and one from Poland one time too.”
