Islanders go toe to toe in Dist. 3 County Council Race In first-ever bid for public office, Forlenza challenges two-term incumbent Rosenfeld for FH county council post

Co-owner of the Technology Center Office Building in Friday Harbor, Marc Forlenza is making a first-ever run for political office in the race for the District 3 County Council position.

He and his wife, Denise, have lived on San Juan Island for nearly a decade.

He is a former restaurant owner, a real estate investor and international marketing executive, based in Europe and Latin America.

Journal: If elected, you would be the Town of Friday Harbor's representative on the County Council. What priorities do the town and county share?

MF: There are priorities that people in San Juan County share, regardless of whether they live in Friday Harbor, East Sound, Lopez, Shaw or Waldron. Perhaps the most fundamental is ferry service and making sure that the county gets its fair share of state and federal assistance. Next, the most important shared priority is the state of the local economy. I believe there is an unprecedented opportunity for the town and the county to begin a new era of

Owner of Friday Harbor Art Studio, two-term incumbent Howie Rosenfeld is seeking reelection in the race for the District 3 Council position.

A 32-year resident of San Juan Island, Rosenfeld is a former two-term town councilman and town volunteer fire chief, and a former director of The Whale Museum in Friday Harbor. He is the husband of Friday Harbor Mayor Carrie Lacher.

Journal: If elected, you would be the Town of Friday Harbor's representative on the County Council. What priorities do the town and county share?

HR: Technically, I represent the citizens of Friday Harbor, but it’s important to them for their representative to know town government. As a former town fire chief, then town council member for six years and being married to the mayor, I kinda have that covered. Still, I attend all the evening Town Council meetings to stay informed and give a county update.

Current issues include the county’s use of the town’s Sutton Road property, solid

waste, affordable housing, a connector road to service the newly annexed Buck property, and Warbass traffic diversion. The town contracts sheriff, court and other services from the county. Some county committees

Commission cites contract to calm concern

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

The San Juan Island Hospital District Commission invited the public to meet again on Oct. 2 as it unveiled its response to concerns about Catholic Church interference with reproduction and endof-life services and policies, at the soon-to-be-completed Peace Island Medical Center.

Dr. Michael Wingren, assistant medical director of the Peace Health Medical Group, now taking over to provide physician services from the InterIsland Medical Center, also released a letter addressing some of the same concerns. (See page 7).

Local residents, many of them active with Planned Parenthood

and other health care and civic organizations, raised the issue after Catholic Bishop J. Peter Sartain reportedly asked Peace Health's St. Joseph Medical Center to stop providing laboratory services to Mt. Baker Planned Parenthood, which operates women’s health care services facilities in Whatcom, Skagit and San Juan counties.

Mt. Baker Planned Parenthood CEO Linda McCarthy objected to that suggestion, and PeaceHealth and Catholic officials in Bellingham, Seattle and Vancouver are considering various alternatives.

Additional concerns were voiced when PeaceHealth and Denverbased Catholic Health Initiatives announced completion of a first

the hospital district and PeaceHealth would be subsumed into PeaceIsland Medical Center.

The Wingren letter was explicit, noting that InterIsland Medical Center physicians were already employees of Peace Health Medical Group, which will provide clinical physician services at PeaceIsland Medical Center.

“We discuss all contraceptive options with patients,” Wingren wrote, “and prescribe all options desired by the patient.”

Islander and women’s health care advocate Alex Shapiro was not convinced, pointing out that she was concerned about future health care policy decisions of Peace Health or its successors.

Shapiro wrote: “And on what belief system is PeaceHealth policy based?

Quite pointedly, in light of what their website refers to as the “new fully integrated health system” that makes PeaceHealth ‘equal partners’ with Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI): Catholicism. I do not need to elaborate upon the positions held by the Catholic church on reproductive and

end of life care, positions which are entirely contrary to those held by the vast majority of residents living in the San Juan Islands.”

The hospital district letter focused on contractual provisions, responding to inquiries whether the contract between the publicly funded hospital district and PeaceHealth provided “written and binding guarantees” that current services would continue to be provided over the 50-year life of the contract.

The letter quotes a provision in the contract: “PeaceHealth agrees that such clinical services shall, at a minimum, include the following items: primary care, emergency care, imaging services, diagnostic services, observation services, and simple medical admissions, provided that the District and PeaceHealth may mutually amend those specifications.”

The commission’s letter, read in full at the meeting by Chairwoman Lenore Bayuk, says, “Most important for the services about which you asked is the guarantee that PeaceHealth will provide ‘primary care’ since that is how reproductive health services would be categorized.”

Islander Rita O’Clair responded succinctly: “If

our new medical facility intends to offer contraceptive options, abortion referrals, and end-of-life services, then PeaceHealth should have no problem with putting these services in writing in our contract with them.”

Monica Harrington responded that the commission’s letter did not address the issues in the coalition letter.

In a written statement, Harrington said, “The Commission letter concludes without substantiation that all reproductive health services, including contraceptive prescription and advice, pregnancy termination after rape or if the mother’s life is in danger, or sterilization procedures, are assumed to be part of “primary care” and could not be abrogated under the agreement, despite the fact that many Catholic hospitals, including CHI hospitals, refuse to provide those and other reproduction-related services.”

The coalition letter asked the Hospital Commission to identify contractual provisions assuring that Peace Island Hospital and Medical Clinic would give effect to patient advance directives.

The commission response: “PeaceHealth encourages and honors patients’ Advanced Directives. A competent patient or surrogate… can request the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments, and, subject to an ethical review, the request will be implemented.”

Susan Dehlendorf remains unimpressed “Basically, all the same assurances that we have heard before were reiterated.”

Real estate rises, September sales double

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

More than twice as many homes were sold in the month of September this year compared to the last, and the number of pending sales doubled in the San Juan Islands as well.

According to the Multiple Listing Service, transactions closed on a total of 29 homes or condominiums in September 2012, compared to 14 during that same 30-day stretch the year before. September’s pending sales numbered 35 in 2012, versus 14 the previous year.

After the major slump that began in 2008, coinciding with the Great Recession, sales were bound to pick

up at some point in time, Steve Buck of Coldwell Banker San Juan Island said.

He’s seen it before.

“It happens in cycles – this is my fourth” Buck said of living with the market ups and downs. “We’ve been on an upward trend for awhile and this year has made a big jump.”

Statistics underscore that jump. A year-to-date comparison by the MLS shows 158 homes or condos have sold so far this year, as opposed to 94 through the end of September 2011.

Though sales are up, Buck said two other indicators factor heavily into the market and its health overall: dollar volume and price. He said gains have been made year over year in the overall dollar-volume generated by the

market, but that price factored heavily into the surge in sales.

“For anyone who’s been on the fence, there’s not much left,” Buck said of the of the low end of the market, $300,000 or less. “The inventory is rapidly going away in that area.”

Conversely, Buck said that there’s more supply than demand at the higher end of the market, $600,000 or more, and on the waterfront in particular.

Still, with real estate markets showing signs of greater strength in those areas where prospective buyers have historically come from, Seattle and California, for example, he believes there soon might be a resurgence of interest in local property of higher value as well.

Broadband study update On Friday, Oct. 19, OPALCO’s Board of Directors will consider a business plan to expand its fiber-optic network in San Juan County.

The board meeting in Friday Harbor is the next step in OPALCO’s year-long effort to create a telecommunications infrastructure providing high-speed internet service to the islands and upgrading the utility’s electrical system with Smart Grid technology. OPALCO expects a decision on the proposal by year’s end.

OPALCO unveiled its proposals in a series of public forums earlier this year on San Juan, Orcas and Lopez islands, and will hold

additional public forums in 2013 to discuss details of the plan and elicit member feedback. Business planning materials are slated for posting at www.opalco.com in November.

The member-owned utility announced four goals for service and technological expansion: (1) improve system reliability and save ratepayers money on energy costs; (2) improve communications for public safety first responders, including OPALCO, the Sheriff ’s office, the Fire Department, and EMS; (3) provide members with high-speed Internet service at speeds of at least 10 Mbps, fostering new opportunities for economic

development; and (4) create modern infrastructure to make expanded cellular coverage, including 911 service, easier in the County.

As always, OPALCO invites co-op members to attend the OPALCO board meeting. For info, contact Suzanne Olson at 360-3763537 or solson@opalco. com.

MF: One of the dangers of living in a small, island community is that vital democratic roles can get blurred and the dangers of overstepping what you were elected to do exist every day. I will strive to do what I am elected to do, which is make policy. As for the administration of day-today affairs, that would not be my job, and it would be an insult to the professionals who do these jobs for me to try to interfere with their oversight and judgment.

istrative officer. Input from many sources, including citizens, should play an integral role. I believe six heads are truly better than three and look forward to the interaction between all branches of government that encourages solid decisions and compromise when it is vital to move the policy discussion forward.

My background in conflict resolution will be put to good use.

What are your thoughts about the update of the county critical areas ordinance?

MF: In order for a regulation to be good law it must be both fair and enforceable. In its current state the proposed CAO is neither. First, it unduly burdens property owners with stringent regulations which seem to be divorced from the reality of the ecology on the ground. Secondly, the proposed regulation is so far reaching that it is, as a practical matter, unenforceable. I am also afraid that the proposed regulation will be enforced in an uneven manner. I would support simpler, more common sense regulations which actually sought to prevent harm to our environment while not being overly burdensome on our local economy.

Rosenfeld: Continued from page 1 require town participation and I work closely with the town on ferry issues.These two separate governments with different priorities have not always worked together closely.

Maintaining a close relationship with a high degree of trust has been my goal. Since redistricting earlier this year I also represent the residents of Brown Island and the Turn and Pear Point areas. I hope I can get to know them and their issues as thoroughly as I know about the town.

Are you satisfied with the relationship between the county legislative branch, the council, and its executive branch, the administrator? Any changes that you would like to see?

HR: The experience with our last administrator, who was hired by the previous commissioners, demonstrated the council does need to exercise more control. However, council never exercised fully the control it had. I believed he needed to be replaced, gave him low performance evaluations, but there was never consensus for change. If the charter amendments give council more control, great, but will it be used? I hope I’ll be there to hire a new administrator/manager who meets the expectations stated above.

What are your thoughts about the update of the county critical areas ordinance?

HR: While this has been a stressful process I think the County Council is about to complete an effective and fair update to the Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO), which is seven years overdue. It’s complicated because we did a “tailored” approach rather than one size fits all. Property proponents requested the tailored approach. This CAO, by state requirement, is specifically targeted to protect important natural functions and values. It will help keep this special place special for both people and wildlife. We need to think long-term about what we pass on to future generations. I’ve been in favor of tax incentives to protect critical areas and protections for property owners where possible. Like no time limit, subject to four-year renewals, on rebuilding even a 100% destroyed non-conforming house, which is now in the CAO. My opponent has major backing from the anti-CAO crowd. According to the PDC website he has outraised me by eight times! If I am defeated because I tried to protect what I thought we all held dear, I would leave with my pride very intact.

For four years, the county has balanced its budget through a combination of spending cuts and voterapproved tax hikes. What about the next four, and what are your thoughts about county spending and revenue?

HR: My colleagues and I have been determined to achieve a sustainable budget looking out at least five years.

Starting right away in ‘08 we made cuts, reorganized and streamlined (257 employees in ‘08 to 225 in ‘12). We went even further by establishing a number of reserve ® funds and funded them Over during hard times.

Continued from page 4 For four years, the county has balanced its budget through a combination of spending cuts and voterapproved tax hikes. What about the next four, and what are your thoughts about county spending and revenue?

MF: The citizens of San Juan County have generously supported the need to secure revenue for essential services and assistance for the most vulnerable among us. But there is a limit to what we can expect from a stressed economy and the citizens. I have no magic formula for a prosperous future, but I can promise to take an in-depth look at county revenues and expenses and see what savings can be obtained.

The residents are developing a justifiable intolerance for bureaucratic inefficiency and unnecessary permits, fees, and policies that seem punitive rather than required by environmental or economic necessity. I want to do

better. I want to hold the council accountable for every dollar spent and be sure citizens know what is going on with their government.

What public official, either local, state or national, past or present, most closely reflects your view on how government should operate, and why?

MF: I would choose Bill Gates, he is not a politician but he is a public figure that has done enormous good. Not afraid to pursue innovation and base decisions on truly the best available information, he has blazed a path through history that few will match.

He ushered in an era of efficiency and effectiveness that revolutionized the way business, government and social interactions are accomplished. His personal commitment to excellence on all levels, including philanthropic, is to be admired and imitated.

But on Columbus Day, local party chairs Michelle Loftus, GOP, and Ron Zee, Democrats, joined hands on the steps of the County Courthouse to endorse the amendments proposed by the Charter Revision Commission.

“I’m looking for a way to ensure effective and efficient county government,” said Loftus, adding local Republicans met Sept. 22 to discuss reducing the size of the County Council from six to three and changing the positin of county administrator to manager.

Zee, chairman of local Democratic party and a charter review commissioner, voted in favor of the commission amendments and has campaigned in support of Propositions 1, 2 and 3.

Loftus, on Monday, and Zee have both previously said they do not think the amendments, if approved, will result in an advantage for either party.

Tight times will continue – but as recent votes demonstrated these islands always step up to do what needs doing. The big question is what kind of government do the people want to pay for?

What public official, local, state or national, past or present, most closely reflects your view on how government should operate, and why?

HR: When I was director of The Whale Museum (‘85-‘87) I got to work closely with former Secretary of State Ralph Munro. We made Lime Kiln State Park happen. I was impressed by the way he was so respectful of everyone and always made an extra effort to get people

introduced and to bring them into the conversation.

Although he held partisan office, it didn’t feel that way.

He was always fair and people trusted him. These were among the many qualities that made him a popular and long-serving secretary of state. The kind of official that inspires citizens to feel good about their government, if that’s possible anymore.

Keep hands off campaign signs

During the campaign season, many of our neighbors actively participate in the democratic process by posting political signs on their property.

Let us all respect our neighbors’ first amendment right to express their political preferences by not removing their political signs.

For those who are not dissuaded by the notion that we do a disservice to our political freedom when we suppress the rights of others, please keep in mind that trespassing on our neighbors’ property and stealing their signs are criminal offenses.

Green Party offers alternative

Dr. Jill Stein is the Green Party candidate for president.

Her “Green New Deal for America” is inspired by the New Deal that rescued our country from the Great Depression, starting with employment for everyone. Jobs will be in green energy, repairing roads and bridges, mass transit, community needs in education, security and health, and more. With full employment will come a thriving economy.

Dr. Stein’s agenda includes public financing of elections, reducing our bloated militarism, and saving trillions with a non-profit health care

system. By simply changing the eligibility age for purchasing Medicare from 65 to zero, we will have a universal healthcare system at last.

Charter works, stay on course

I have been personally involved with San Juan County government since the early ‘80s, first as a citizen, then two terms as the elected county prosecuting attorney, freeholder and finally as a County Council member.

I have operated under both the old commissioner form of government and the new charter form of government, and have first hand knowledge as to what works best.

In my opinion the freeholders and the large plurality of citizens who approved their work product in 2005 got it right. Under the old system many critical problems were not addressed and, figuratively speaking, kicked down the road.

For example, the state required San Juan County to update its solid waste plan in 2001; it didn’t happen. The state required San Juan County to update its critical areas ordinance in 2006; it didn’t happen.

The county never had a business plan that included long-range budget forecasting with a prescribed budget reserve policy until the charter came into effect.

Track record that deserves our trust

I am one of the 300plus signers of the petition expressing concern about possible restrictions being placed on our island health care because PeaceHealth is a Catholic institution.

I have attended meetings, read a lot, and listened a lot.

Despite the obvious fact that the future is uncertain (isn’t it always?), I am now totally convinced that PeaceHealth has our community’s interests at heart, and that their delivery of health care here will meet our needs, including the protection of women’s reproductive rights, the honoring of advanced directives, and our rights under state law to death with dignity.

Let’s get real here: the services that will be provided in our new hospital/medical center are a significant improvement over what we have now, and this is only because of the partnership — and extraordinary financial commitment — of PeaceHealth.

Certainly, I would have been happier had our new hospital been willing to offer elective abortions. But our current medical clinic doesn’t provide elective abortions either, so we aren’t losing a service that we once had. Our new hospital isn’t going to offer neurosurgery either, or deliver babies.

Physicians at the new facility will in fact provide standard referrals for procedures that aren’t offered here, including elective abortions and physician-assisted suicide. All health care decisions will be driven only by the needs and wishes of the patient, in consultation with his/her physician.

Of course there are no guarantees that things won’t change over time. But PeaceHealth has already demonstrated its commitment to our island and the medical needs of the community here, and has made no attempt whatsoever to impose Catholic doctrine on us.

Vote ‘No’ on Props. 1-3

Community will be better served

63-percent margin of victory is generally thought of as a landslide, a sweeping endorsement of any ballot measure or of any candidate running for public office.

Evidently, the Charter Review Commission sees it otherwise.

In fact, the CRC would have us believe, given the nature of Prop. 1 and Prop. 2 on the November election ballot, that voters got it wrong back in 2005 when they endorsed — in a landslide — the “Basic” Home Rule Charter and, though by a lesser margin, 55 percent, an amendment to the charter that divided the county into six legislative districts, created a council of six part-time legislators, and established districtonly elections for each of those part-time posts.

The Journal, in contrast, is sticking with the voters, at least for the time being, and encourages a “No” vote on Prop. 1, Prop. 2 and Prop. 3.

Here are three reasons why: First, the county legislative body is now more diverse in its representation and has evolved into a more collarborative, deliberative and effective decision-making unit with six members, rather than three. Furthermore, members of the legislative body would be prohibited by law from conferring with one another outside a duly noticed public meeting in a return to a three-person council. That’s a step backward, toward a more isolated process of decision-making.

Secondly, with an annual budget of roughly $45 million, county business deserves to be managed by a professional administrator, not by three elected officials that also set policy and make

We are now in the sixth year of this well outlined process of discussions, planning, design and construction. All of us are working overtime to keep IIMC functioning smoothly while simultaneously training towards opening PIMC in less than two months.

We are proud of what this community has achieved in building a state of the art critical access hospital, and look forward to better serving residents’ and visitors’ health care needs in our new, expanded primary care and specialty clinic, 24 hour ER, and 10-bed in-patient units.

We are aware of some of the concerns that have been raised in the community, and want to reassure all of our patients that this transition will in no way change the care that we provide now and will provide in the future.

The physicians became employees of Peace Health Medical Group in March, 2012. We discuss all contraceptive options with patients, and prescribe all options desired by the patient. We refer to off-island specialists for certain services, such as pregnancy termination (abortion), and will continue to do so in the future without change.

We advocate that patients and their families discuss and fill out advanced directives (POLST forms), and we follow their wishes explicitly. We have supported our patients’ rights to choose Death with Dignity, and have referred

patients who chose this option to a local provider of the medication.

We do not abandon our patients who select this option. We continue to support them and care for their emotional and medical needs.

In short, all of our current medical practices will continue without change regardless of future business decisions of PeaceHealth.

We believe in the privacy of the doctor-patient relationship.

If we are unable to provide certain services, we will work with our patients to coordinate timely referrals and urgent transport if indicated. We are joined in these ideals by our affiliation with PeaceHealth.

Finally, we would be remiss if we did not express our appreciation of the extensive commitment by a cast of hundreds of San Juan islanders, PeaceHealth employees, construction professionals, and our entire IIMC staff, who have together built a model rural health care facility.

As I See It

Protect diversity, just say ‘No’ to GMO Genetically modified crops threaten health, island Ag.; ‘Yes’ on I-2014-4

A

By Elaine Kendall

s the issue of genetically modified organisms comes more into focus for many Americans with the California ballot initiative to label GMOs, San Juan County is in the singular position to stand out as a forward thinking, innovative supporter of small scale local agriculture by passing ballot Initiative 2012-4.

Because of our geographic setting we have a unique opportunity to provide a safe zone for non-GMO crops, which will help preserve our genetic diversity and local control of our food supply, while not requiring labeling of products or limiting consumer choices.

GMOs are organisms that have been created through the gene-splicing techniques of biotechnology, allowing DNA from one species to be injected into another species. By being able to take the genetic material from one organism and insert it into the permanent genetic code of another, numerous novel creations, such as potatoes with bacteria genes, “super” pigs with human growth genes, fish with cattle growth genes, tomatoes with flounder genes, and thousands of other plants, animals and insects have been created.

These creations, often bred with genes that allow them to tolerate weed killers or generate their own insecticides, are now being patented and released into the environment.

They now cover 10 percent of the world's farmland, up from nothing just 15 years ago.

Genetically modified crops have been commercially planted since 1996, and include soy, corn, cotton, canola, sugar beets, alfalfa, papaya, summer squash, poplar, potato, tomato and sweet pepper. A GM grass has recently been

approved, while approvals of GM apples and salmon are pending. The USDA is planning on fast-tracking further approvals of GM crops, cutting approval time down to just 18 months.

Issues of concern regarding GMOs include inadequacy of regulation to ensure safety, the development of herbicide-tolerant “superweeds”, compromised soil quality, and increased disease susceptibilElaine Kendall ity in crops. There is also a growing body of research indicating that GMO food crops have adverse effects upon human health.

They may be more toxic, allergenic and less nutritious than their natural counterparts.

Contamination of traditional crops by GMO crops is generally acknowledged to be unavoidable, and there can be no co-existence of transgenic and non-transgenic crops.

Across the county, farmers choosing to sell their products as non-GMO or organic have to provide testing to prove that they have not been contaminated by nearby GM versions of their crop. Testing would be unnecessary if the county were designated GMO-free.

“Non-GMO Verified” is the fastest growing food label in North America, as sales of certified products hit $1 billion in 2011. Initiative 2012-4 is designed to protect our farmers’ rights to farm and only affects the growing and propagation of GMO crops.

San Juan County is the only county in the country to have this opportunity on the November ballot. Vote for a GMOfree county. Vote “Yes” on Initiative 2012-4.

Editorial:

Continued from page 7 laws (Prop. 2). That’s too much power vested in too few hands.

Lastly, in the argument for countywide elections for a three-person council (Prop. 1) is the notion that the legislative body would be more accountable to the voters and that the county would therefore be better off.

Really? After all, these are the same voters that ratified the changes that

the CRC now seeks to undo.

It’s not that the CRCbacked propositions are without precedent. In fact, it’s a return to the pre-charter form of government that the CRC advocates, with a couple of noteworthy add-ons, like the process of initiative and referendum.

Nevertheless, we feel the charter has brought about positive change and that it’s far too soon to unhinge it from its foundation. Reject Props. 1-3.

Makes no sense to stack the deck

If you are considering voting in favor of returning the county to a three commissioner mode, please first consider some of the probable unintended consequences that could happen.

A tad more than half of all the voters in San Juan County live on San Juan Island and it’s adjacent islands. Under the CRC proposal, all three commissioners will be voted upon by all the voters in the county. This means that the selection of all three commissioners will be at the discretion of the voters of only one island.

As an example of what could happen, suppose there were two candidates vying to be the Lopez Island representative. Suppose one was a very well respected, well liked and long term resident of Lopez, and the other was a newcomer that didn’t seem to be in sync with the Lopez Island viewpoints.

Further, suppose the newcomer spent all her energy and time campaigning on San Juan Island and Orcas.

She would probably win the election this way, and Lopez

would be stuck with having a person representing them that they didn’t select, even though their favorite candidate received almost all of the Lopez votes.

As another example of what could go wrong, suppose the commissioners from Orcas and Lopez were both liberals, and the San Juan Island commissioner was the sole conservative on the board. For all practical purposes, the voters of Orcas and Lopez would be running the county government, and the majority voters on San Juan Island would have no voice in governing the county (remember when Darcie and Rhea, both staunch Democrats, almost always voted together, and the Republican from Orcas was almost always outvoted? The Orcas voters were thus virtually disenfranchised.)

Gordy Peterson, in his Sept. 12 “As I See It” piece (“Bringing islanders back together”, pg. 7), admitted that he wanted all three commissioners to represent his views. What if the voters of Orcas and Lopez didn’t like his selections? What recourse would they have?

Don’t disenfranchise yourself or others. Vote “No” on all three propositions.

Actually, his opponent came to the same meeting, so I got an earful from both of them on the CAO. Rosenfeld gave a detailed accounting of the long drawn out effort by the county council to respond to the state mandate to update our critical areas ordinances under the Growth Management Act. His opponent gave voice to the property rights position — we don’t need any new rules. Who cares what the state mandates. Our experts have better science than your experts.

I came away from the meeting relieved that the council has been willing to take all this time and get “deep into the weeds” on this issue in order to come up with something reasonable. San Juan Island voters have always favored sensible preservation over unlimited development rights. I’ll vote for Rosenfeld again because his is the reasonable voice.

Change council, not the charter

Change the County Council not the Charter Over the past 3 years we have spent hours observing council meetings and we are as frustrated as others by the members’ inability to take decisive action on local issues that impact us all. We have asked ourselves, “Is it the Home Rule Charter or the people involved?”

Our conclusion is “the problem” is a hold over of the ways of the previous

three commissioners and refusal to relinquish power to the new Administrator.

Consequently, they never implemented the structure or the intent of the HRC. To add to this, our first Administrator (hired

by Senator Ranker and Councilmen Lichter and Myhr) was weak and ineffective. This was not a fair test of the intent of the Home Rule Charter.

Moreover, the Council has never let go of the former Commissioners’ propensity to micro-manage.

We are not in favor of electing candidates countywide. While it would be the intent of the three to represent all residents, we have seen time and again that each councilperson makes their decisions based upon the benefit of those to whom they answer. Just imagine the Lopez councilman having voted to allow cell sites on Lopez?

To add to this are our concerns about the high cost of campaigning countywide (estimated to be in the neighborhood of $40,000).

We believe these costs will further erode the nonpartisan intent of the HRC and encourage candidates to accept campaign funding from political parties and special interest groups, from within and outside the County.

Let’s look at the bright side. November 6 represents an opportunity to elect half of the Council as new members, and hire a wellqualified Administrator.

It is time they/we citizens insist upon following the HRC, as written.

Vote No on Proposition 1 & 2 and elect three new Council Members and hire a strong Administrator!

We need strong leader-

Unveil agendas, ‘Yes’ on Prop 1-3

Currently there is a coordinated and well-funded campaign of advertising and letter writing urging voters to reject the proposed modifications to the Charter on the November ballot.

In addition, there are notso-visible personal attacks on members of the Charter Review Commission. What’s the genesis of this campaign and who is behind it? Here’s the history: The push for a charter form of government was funded by certain business interests who wanted more control over what goes on in the county. With the charter, as drafted by freeholders in 2005, they got what they wanted: a weak county council (six members elected by district with any measure receiving a 3/3 tie vote failing) and a business-friendly county administrator.

Now, five years later, these interests are dismayed by the results of the CRC review and have once again deployed their unlimited resources to defeat what they see as a diminution of their control over the county.

As proposed by the CRC, the reduction of council members from six to three and the elimination of the county administrator position will put the county back under the control of the voters. With three council members elected by the entire county voting population, the politics of any can-

didate will be well-known.

Changing demographics have given the county a solid Democratic majority; and, in spite of the official non-partisan nature of county council elections, identified Republicans have little chance of winning countywide elections.

With no county administrator, control of county affairs reverts to a county manager under the supervision of the county council. Hence: the panic in the Republican business community.

So, when you see the huge anti-CRC propositions signs throughout the county and the dozens of angry letters to the news media, recognize the motivation of the people behind them; and vote for the charter changes.

Return control of the county to the people.

The answer is the bestqualified six people are selected to be council members. This is the responsibility of the voters of each district.

Council members should not be responsible for daily

management of general functions of the county. A professional county manager who is responsible to the council should supervise these activities. This method provides improved accountability and performance.

Vote “No” on Proposition 1.

Vote “No” on Proposition 2.

Three better than six? Based on what?

Countywide elections are not logical. The current method of voting only in your district ensures that all voters are properly represented on the council. This system provides objective and reasonable representation for all citizens. The existing model is similar to U.S. House of Representatives and is the best method for our county.

It has been proposed that three council members will be better than the present six members. There is no evidence to support this proposal.

It is nonsense to have one council member from Lopez Island, one from

Wolverines fall in heartbreaker; 26-19 Comeback bid doomed by 4th quarter fumble, questionable call at goal line

By Scott Rasmussen Journal Editor

The outcome of any football game almost never rests on one single play, unless you’re the Seattle Seahawks.

But the Friday Harbor football team, in the wake of its WALK-UP, DRIVE-THRU, STOP BY, SAY HI second straight heartbreaking loss, knows all too well that two plays can mean the Introducing… difference between victory and defeat.

Wolverines roll in third straight win

The Friday Harbor girls soccer team is perfect in the month of October, outscoring a pair of opponents 11-3, combined, to pick up back-to-back league wins on the road.

The Wolverines (6-5) swept their two-game season series against Orcas by dealing the Vikings a 3-1 defeat on the road Oct. 1. They rolled over Northwest 1A/2B League rival Mount Vernon Christian 8-2 on the road Oct. 4 to post their third consecutive win and to improve to 4-1 in league

play, trailing league-leading La Conner (4-1) by a game in the race for the title. The two teams square off Thursday, Oct. 16, in La Conner, with the league championship on the line, beginning at 4 p.m.

Next: The Wolverines were on the road Tuesday, at Concrete (0-5), and are home to host Northwest Conference 1A rival Blaine (2-6-3), Saturday, beginning at noon.

V’ ball team splits a pair

Friday Harbor grabbed a game from Orcas this time around, but one wasn’t enough to prevent the Vikings from snaring a 3-1

win at home, Oct. 1, for a sweep of the Wolverines in the two-game inter-island season series.

The Wolverines rebounded from the loss against the Vikings (4-4) with a sweep of its own, tallying a win in three straight games on the road, Oct. 4, over Northwest 1A/2B League rival Mount Vernon Christian, and to improving to 4-3 overall.

Next: Following Tuesday’s match at Concrete (4-4), the Wolverines are home to host Cedar Park Christian (2-8), Thursday, beginning at 4:30 p.m., and then host Northwest Conference 1A rival Blaine (0-8), on Saturday; match time is 1:45 p.m.

Tennis team just short of first win

Bouncing back from an 8-6 loss in the first set, Friday Harbor’s Sean Hills netted an 8-1 win in the second to draw a stalemate in the No. 1 singles contest a week ago at Lake Steven’s Cavelero Middle School.

Cody Coyne and Lucas Noeth fell in straight sets in No. 1 doubles play, and Tyler Fox and Jake Lowe snagged a second set win, in a tie-breaker, to draw even in the No. 2 doubles showdown.

ace up those sneakers, mark your calendar, grab a snack and get prepared to “beat feet” back into the past.

In conjunction with Savor the San Juans, October’s celebration of island art, culture and cuisine, the Town of Friday Harbor Historic Preservation Review Board offers up a series of historic walks and talks that put the town’s bygone era and its more recent past into the spotlight.

The series of historic walking tours began this past Saturday, with an exploration, led by local historian Boyd Pratt, of the many town buildings constructed out of the cast stone bricks that were fashioned by the former Friday Harbor Brick & Tile Company, 120 Nichols Street, now the home of San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild’s Brickworks.

If you missed that one, no worries. There are another three Saturdays in October and three more historic tours in store.

On Oct. 13, take a tour of historic downtown Friday Harbor and get a glance at an “insider’s view” of the town’s colorful past. Led by

Friday Harbor’s Sandy Strehlou, historic preservation coordinator, the 90-minute tour begins at 10 a.m., at Memorial Park, Front and Spring streets, and promises “lots of good stories, rain or shine”. The course covers some hills; walking shoes are recommended.

The following Saturday, Oct. 20, take a walk through time with a stroll along Friday Harbor’s historic Argyle Avenue. Constructed in 1890 by volunteers, the Argyle Wagon Road connected the town to one of its earliest, most notable neighborhoods, and its historic homes tell the story of some of the town’s more influential and close-knit families.

The tour begins at 2 p.m., at Acanthus Antiques, 460 Argyle Ave. Then, on Oct. 27, Friday Harbor’s more recent past, as well as its more modern architecture, take center stage in a tour entitled, “Friday Harbor’s Recent Past: How WWII, the automobile and Mel’s Diner changed everything.” Led by Strehlou, the 90-minute tour focuses on one of the town’s Post-War neighborhoods and explores how the architecture of that neighborhood reflects event of that period in time.

Around Town ‘Granny’s Clan’ author, and Pod Nod too

“Granny’s Clan”

Contributed art

The Whale Museum is offering two special events for kids Saturday, Oct. 27.

At 3 p.m., meet Dr. Sally Hodson and Ann Jones, author and illustrator of Granny’s Clan, a new children’s book about local pods of orcas. Based on orca research, the book combines science with the story of how family, friendship, and a grandmother’s love help the magnificent, but endangered, orca clan to survive.

At 3:30 p.m., there will be an interactive presentation titled ‘If you were an orca in Granny’s clan’, followed by a book signing. The event is free and open to the public.

Light refreshments will be served. Copies of Granny’s Clan are available at The Whale Museum.

Then, from 6 p.m. overnight to 8:30 a.m., the museum will offer a special Halloween Pod Nod. The theme is “Nature’s Costumes.” Kids can dress in Halloween costumes and learn how animals use costumes to help them survive.

This popular “pajama party” sleepover, for ages 6 to 10, will be led by a Museum educator with assistance from other adult professionals. Participants learn to value whales and

the marine environment through art projects, science labs, games, and the traditional flashlight tour of the exhibit hall; bedtime snack and breakfast included.

The Halloween Pod Nod is $39 for children/grandchildren of Whale Museum members, $49 for nonmembers.

Scholarships available.

For information, or to register, call The Whale Museum, 378-4710 ext. 23, or email cindy@whalemuseum.org. Pre-registration is required.

Work party for King Sisters’ trail

The Land Bank is looking for help creating access points to the trail on the Land Bank’s King Sisters Preserve, 62 acres of rolling farmland bordered by San Juan Valley Road and Wold Road on San Juan Island.

The trail follows San Juan Valley Road (http://www. sjclandbank.org/images_ sanjuan/KingSisters_map. pdf) and is currently accessed only by scrambling over the ditch next to the road.

The work party, scheduled for Friday, Oct. 12, 10 a.m., will install several culvert pipes and cover them with gravel, replacing a discarded wood pallet which served as a makeshift bridge until removed by a county crew earlier this summer.

Land Bank Steward Doug McCutchen reminds

The exhibit features landscape paintings based Price’s photographs of the U.S. western wilderness, castles along the Danube River in eastern Europe, Mexican beaches and Alaskan tundra flats. It includes paintings of San Juan Island as well.

The exhibit can be viewed daily, during theatre box office hours, including one hour prior to any performance. Info, 378-3210.

She was born in Sacramento, Calif., but spent most of her childhood in Bremerton, Wash. She married her high school sweetheart, Leon Calvin Daugherty, when they were both 18, in 1942. Patsi and Leon have one son, Larry Charles Daugherty, born in 1943.

Due to Leon’s job they were privileged to travel to many places all over the world. Patsi loved to learn. She loved books of all kinds. Patsi loved politics, whales, dolphins, penguins, cats, football and baseball. She loved to laugh and had quite a sense of humor.

Patsi is survived by her son and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who will miss her dearly but are joyful in the knowledge that she is reunited with the love of her life, whom she has missed tremendously since his passing in May of 2000.

Thank you mom and grandmother Pat for your generosity, wisdom, thoughtfulness, and most of all your love. We love you. Til we meet again.

Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral Chapel and Crematory, Anacortes and the San Juan Islands. To share memories of Patsi, please sign the online guest register at www.evanschapel.com.
