Marijuana initiative Turkey with a twist passes, what next? Local authorities unsure if feds will follow suit By Julie Summers Special to the Journal

On Election Day, Washington voters lived up to their progressive reputation by passing Initiative 502 to legalize recreational use of marijuana. The initiative passed with 55 percent statewide approval and an overwhelming 68 percent support in San Juan County, the largest margin in the state. A similar measure passed in Colorado, making Washington and Colorado the first two states to allow recreational marijuana. “Everybody’s talking about this now,” said San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney Randall Gaylord. “Everybody’s interested to see how it will unfold.” Local officials’ reactions vary widely. In a letter to the editor (Oct. 23 Weekly edition), Gaylord encouraged voters to carefully consider I-502 and stated that he would adapt his policies based on the results. One complication is that I-502 is slated to go into effect in 30 days, but the law is now in direct conflict with federal law, which bans marijuana. Gaylord said there is a lot of speculation on how this will play out. Under the federal Controlled Substances Act, marijuana remains classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, alongside heroin and ecstasy. Schedule I drugs “have a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the U.S., and there is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision,” according to the Drug Enforcement Administration, Although there are medical marijuana laws in 18 states and D.C. (the most recent just passed in Massachusetts) and there have

“This is pretty much uncharted waters. On the enforcement side it’s almost nightmarish.” — Rob Nou, SJC Sheriff

been several attempts to reclassify marijuana, the federal government has yet to do so. In 2009, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced that federal prosecutors would essentially defer to state laws regarding medical marijuana, but it remains unclear whether that precedent will hold with recreational use. Gaylord points out that the conflict between state and federal laws could be complicated by the fact that Washington is a border state with increased federal law enforcement presence. Officers of the Coast Guard, U.S. Customs, and other federal agencies, he says, follow federal law, and users in line with the Washington law may still be prosecuted under certain circumstances, such as the use of marijuana in a national park.

Taking a stand

Prior to the election, Sheriff Rob Nou urged the community to join with him in voting no on I-502, warning that youth and communities would be at risk. “It puts the state in the marijuana business, in competition with the current drug traffickers,” he wrote. Others, like former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper, contend that I-502 will in fact take business, and therefore power, away from dangerous drug dealers. Stamper argued in an letter to the editor (Oct. 30 edition of the Islands’ Sounder) that I-502 does See MARIJUANA, Page 4

Refinancing rainbow yields pot of gold Lower interest rates, better S & P rating save town $270K By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

Thanksgiving came a week early for the Town of Friday Harbor. Town Treasurer Wendy Picinich set the table with 10 years of cold-eyed fiscal discipline and Administrator Duncan Wilson carved the turkey by orchestrating the refinancing of the 2003 sewer

revenue bonds into a total net savings to the town of $269,002 over the next 11 years. Wilson gave a tip of the hat to Picinich and to former administrator King Fitch for the town’s solid financial footing. “Because of the conservative policies maintained by King Fitch and Wendy Picinich we were able to drive down the interests rates on this refinancing,” he said. Mayor Carrie Lacher and the council listened with broad smiles at the council’s Nov. 15 meeting, as Jim Nelson of Martin Nelson See RAINBOW, Page 4

Tia’s Tacos opened at the corner of Blair Avenue and Ellsworth Streets in Friday Harbor. Although a bit off the beaten path, the location has proved ideal. “It’s not where a lot of people thought it should be,” said founder and “boss” Gail Ochoa. “But it’s where it should be,” she said as she perused a small dining room jammed with high school students who came from the Friday Harbor High School one block north, and Spring Street International School one block south. “I want the kids from both schools to meet each other here, and Lucy (Aguilar, who helps Ochoa cook) and I will be their ‘Aunties’.” (Tia means “auntie” in Spanish.)

As one might be suppose, $1.75 tacos filled with pork, chicken, beef or sweet potato are the mainstay, but quesadillas, burritos, and tamales are often on the menu board, and on Fridays “Guatemalan tamales” — a larger version made by Guatemalan cook Aguilar — don’t last long. Mexican food demands good sauces, and Tia’s responds with a collection of four or five bottles of the green and red pepper kind, and a serveyourself condiment bar with house-made tomatillo and roasted red pepper sauces, a zippy Pico de Gallo, chopped onions and jalapenos and other tidbits. Gail Ochoa says she’s been cooking south-ofthe-border food for her husband Alfonso and the rest of the family “for about 15 years,” and she hopes local Hispanics will start dropping by. “We’re want to try new tastes and ingredients,” she says, “but first we want to make the best tacos and tamales in town.” Gordon Elliott, who grew up eating Mexican food in Sen Pedro, Calif., is a believer: “Great.

Pledge of $100K match for Brickworks A San Juan Island family has pledged up to $100,000 in matching donations to help pay for renovation of the Brickworks building. The San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild, owner of the building, announced the matching offer last week and terms of the pledge. “Coming hard on the heels of several other major recent contributions and pledge commitments, we are fired up by the extraordinary support we are receiving from the community for the Brickworks Project,” Susie Wampler of the Ag Guild board of directors said in a press release. Under the pledge, the anonymous donor will match up to $100,000 of each donation contributed to the Brickworks capital campaign. Renovation of the Brickworks building and installation of a commercial kitchen is anticipated to

cost $430,000, according to the Ag Guild. The Guild hopes to raise $800,000 through its capital campaign overall, which would pay for the building's renovation and additions, and also pay off the loan that financed the purchase of the historic building at 120 Nichols Street. “Through extraordinary leadership grants and pledges such as this, along with the growing number of donations and in-kind contributions by an enthusiastic group of volunteers, our objective of having the building up and running by next summer is now clearly in sight,” Wampler said.

16 ounces of marijuana-infused product in solid form, or 72 ounces in liquid form. But sale and purchase for non-medical use will remain illegal until state regulations are put in place, which could take up to a year. Gaylord said he will speak with Jenny Durkan, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington, which could give him an indication of federal intentions. He plans to coordinate with Nou to ensure a consistent county policy, and will speak with school and prevention groups so they’re aware of what is being done to keep marijuana out of minors’ hands. Nou said the passage of I-502 creates “a very muddy picture” in the short term. “This is pretty much uncharted waters,” he said. “On the enforcement side it’s almost nightmarish.” Now that the law has passed, he said, it is his job to enforce it. But he has concerns about the state/federal conflict, especially as it pertains to San Juan County’s marine traffic. Gaylord said the process could get complicated. But, he stressed, it is important for people to understand that they will continue to be prosecuted if the law is violated. Nou said his biggest concern is messaging. “It is much more complicated than simply saying ‘marijuana is now legal,’” he said. “People will have to be diligent in researching it and knowing what the boundaries are.”

first issued in 2003. Nelson congratulated the town for “a fantastic accomplishment” in obtaining a AA- bond rating, something he said is “rare” for a small town of limited population and a limited tax base. The savings result from two developments: recession-induced lowering of interest rates in general, and municipal bond rates specifically, and a first-ever bond rating grade by Standard and Poor’s of AA-, which qualifies the town’s sewer bonds for investment by a wider range of investors at

better interest rates. To obtain the AA- bond rating grade, Picinich and Wilson had to lay out the complete financial history of the town and facts “looking forward” that would convince Standard and Poor’s that the town would pay off the $1.4 million remaining principal of the 2003 bond issue. For Friday Harbor, the favorable Standard and Poor’s bond rating and low interest rates resulted in an ultra-low “True Interest Cost” interest rate of 1.82 percent.

SJ man faces two years for drug trafficking conviction No. 2 Twenty-five-year-old admits to possession, trafficking in heroin

A San Juan Island man faces two years in prison following his most recent drug trafficking conviction. According to court documents, prosecutors will recommend that Raul Vallejano, Jr. serve 24 months in prison and pay $2,500 in fines and fees at a sentencing hearing slated for Nov. 30. On Nov. 9, Vallejano, Jr., 25, pleaded guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of possession of a controlled substance, heroin, with intent to deliver, a Class B felony that carries maximum penalties for a repeat offender of 20 years in prison, a $25,000 fine, or both. A charge of possession of cocaine was dismissed. In 2009, Vallejano, Jr. was ordered to serve one year in prison and to pay nearly $4,000 in fines and fees after pleading guilty to three drug trafficking charges, two counts

which the two ended up in the water off the shoreline of Shaw Island after their rowboat capsized at about 11 p.m. The men, reportedly intoxicated at the time of the mishap, were rescued from the water, attended to by Shaw-based paramedics and had returned home before deputies on Orcas, en route to Blind Bay by boat, arrived at the scene. They were sent a boating accident report the following day, with a 10-day deadline to be filled out and mailed back to authorities. Nov. 4: A Lopez Island man suspects dogs are responsible for killing half his flock of turkeys in a late-night attack outside his Hummel Lake Road home. Eight of 15 turkeys died in the attack, the aftermath of which the 42-year-old reportedly stumbled upon the following day. n A late-night dispute between former paramours prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island woman, accused of hitting her exboyfriend in the back of the head with a shoe. The 34-year-old allegedly struck the 37-year-old man as he was leaving her Orion Lane apartment, and on the heels of a heated argument that erupted into an altercation.

of delivery of cocaine and another involving heroin. He had been a San Juan Island resident for about five years at the time of that conviction. Sheriff ’s deputies took the 25-year-old into custody in the early morning hours of July 15 following a search of the cabin in which he lived on De Haro Lane. Officers reportedly seized nearly three ounces of heroin, six grams of cocaine and an assortment of scales, packaging materials and paraphernalia at the time of the arrest. Vallejano’s drug trafficking conviction is the second involving heroin in the islands in the last six months. In mid-May, 18-yearold Christopher Faylor pleaded guilty to four counts of delivery of a controlled substance, three of which involved a sale of one gram of cocaine and the other the sale of about a gram of heroin. Faylor, a senior at Friday Harbor High School at the time of his arrest, was taken into custody at the school in early January.

Market boosted by Foundation Island Artisans has put on the annual Holiday Market for more than 25 years. It has provided a venue for the many talented artists and artisans to make their creations available to the community while raising funds to provide scholarships to students from all the high schools in the county that are interested in pursuing higher education in the arts. Historically, we have been able to cover the cost of the Holiday Market through the fee that we charge the artists for their booths and through our raffle. It has always been our goal to use 100 percent of the funds we receive from the artist from sales at the Holiday Market for scholarships. However, the cost of putting on the market had reached the point where our funding sources were no longer adequate to fully cover our costs. We are so pleased that the San Juan Island Community Foundation came to our aid by providing us with a

matching grant. Each dollar donated to our cause was matched by 50 cents from the Foundation. Due to their generosity, we were able to reach our goal of covering the total cost of putting on the Holiday Market. Thanks to the San Juan Island Community Foundation, all the funds raised this year from sales will be available for scholarships. We wish to say thank you to the San Juan Island Community Foundation on behalf of the artists participating in the Holiday Market, the scholarship recipients, and the Board of Directors.

Don’t let ice, frost ruin your day

Yesterday morning, while walking out my door, I became my own patient. I was walking down the steps of my own home, with a computer in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other. Before I even knew it, I was on my back on the steps. The coffee flew, but the computer was saved. “Ouch,” I said – as well as a few other things. I was on my way to the fire department and became my own first call of the shift. Luckily I bounced, and still made it to work on time, with just a bruised back and ego. Moral of this story: winter is around the corner! So be prepared and be especially careful walking when frost or snow is likely. Fall prevention is easy and lifesaving.

complex channels, shoals, and reefs in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Strait of Georgia. The full impacts of the ludicrous scheme to ship up to 48 million tons of coal from GPT to Asian markets must be viewed in the context of this detailed map resource. And from what I witnessed on Saturday, Nov. 3, it seems that my fellow San Juan islanders also know that map pretty well. Nearly 450 showed up to share their concerns at an Environmental Impact Statement Scoping Hearing about significant adverse impacts of the GPT on our community. We had a chance to deliver 83 (of 85) twominute comments, most of which related in some way to the marine environment; spills, ballast water, endangered and beloved species, spawning ground, shoals and reefs, and narrow channels.

Editorial

Guest Column

Thankful for

Of coal ships and critical areas

We surveyed the Journal staff as we put the Thanksgiving Eve edition to bed, asking each other what we’re thankful for. Officer manager Frances Bacon is thankful for her family and her good health. Kathryn is thankful that her brother made her an aunt (again), and for her mother’s baking skills. Scott H. is thankful for health, art, his girlfriend — and his girlfriend’s boat. Steve is thankful he’s writing this editorial and that at least one person, you - is reading it. And Editor Scott Rasmussen is thankful for family and the prospect of “new beginnings”, and for our neighbors. So, being thankful for our neighbors, we asked the denizens of the second floor what they’re thankful for. Carol at the visitor’s bureau is thankful for her job “and the ladies I work with.” One of those ladies, Deborah, is thankful for “good health, good kids, a good husband”, and Barbara is “thankful to live in a safe and beautiful place.” Liz and her visitor Cynthia are jointly thankful for “how well our community works together for the good of our children.” The several absent second floor tenants are no doubt thankful they’re not here to answer my questions. And landlord Marc Forlenza is “thankful for all my great tenants for the past seven years.” Back at the Journal, we are also thankful for the incredible community who make this paper so rich and for the advertisers who support our efforts and allow us to keep our doors open. We found a lot to be thankful for here in our tiny little portion of the town. How about you? A “Happy Thanksgiving” to all.

For the Record The headline of a letter by Michael Hurwicz, in the Nov. 14 Journal, pg 6, should have read, “Canada not a better route for coal”. n

County is on the verge of adopting one of the region’s weakest CAOs

By Kyle Loring

n Nov. 3, more than 400 community members gathered for a coal scoping hearing where over 95 percent of the public testimony energetically expressed concerns about a proposed coal shipping terminal at Cherry Point. That sizable turnout confirms just how deeply our island communities care about the biological vibrancy and natural beauty of our surroundings. Yet this devotion lessens when the focus shifts from the potential impacts of large corporations exporting coal to the certain but incremental local impacts of our individual decisions about how to develop the land. It shouldn’t. Whether a spawning beach is covered by oil or eroded, or covered, by a bulkhead, the same fish must look for a new home. San Juan County is on the verge of adopting one of the weakest critical areas ordinances in the Puget Sound region. The ordinance’s buffers are designed to allow 40 percent of all local pollution into our streams, lakes, and seas. And this number doesn’t include the numerous exemptions or buffer decreases authorized by the ordinance as well. For example, it would force the county to permit new buildings as close to the shorelines as adjacent, existing structures, fossilizing development patterns that arose before we knew just how important natural shorelines are for animals like salmon and orcas. According to the Washington state Department of Ecology (who knows about this sort of thing), it would protect far less habitat than needed for sensitive wetland-dependent frogs and salamanders. It would even allow the construction of septic tanks in streams, not that that would be a great idea. Recent letters to the editor suggest that we don’t need

environmental protections as strong as other counties because our community voluntarily protects our ecosystems better than they do. Local science, however, reveals a different story. We have lost an estimated 59 percent of the area of our tidal marshes since 1884, a far higher percentage than any other Puget Sound county. Shoreline properties developed since 1977 have lost an Kyle Loring average of 20 percent of their shoreline trees. Elevated levels of pesticides permeate many San Juan County streams, lakes, and ponds. And although people grow tired of hearing that Westcott Bay has lost most of its eelgrass and all associated herring spawning, it is a big deal to lose 1-of-only-4 herring spawning regions in the islands. When you add the fact that bulkheads and other armoring cover nearly one-fifth of documented fish spawning beaches in the San Juans, our community has already lost a lot of space for wildlife. But it’s not just the wildlife — we lose a part of our identity that celebrates our wild shorelines. The coal terminal may lead to devastating impacts to our shorelines. But inadequate protections for our streams, wetlands, and marine shorelines will do the same. On Nov. 27, you can tell the County Council to adopt protections that apply local and regional science and that allow development while accommodating our most sensitive natural neighbors. They deserve it. And since seven years have passed since the deadline for this ordinance, let’s get it done now, and let’s get it done right.

As I See It

Where equal access is a democratic ideal No one in Canada goes bankrupt from health care costs; why here?

By Wendy E. Shepard

he Library community room was packed and quiet. The local League of Women Voters was showing “The Health Care Movie,” covering the history of U.S. and Canadian health care. Originally, the two systems were similar, but Canada took a different turn. The vision of Tommy Douglas, the first leader of the New Democratic Party, led to the creation of Canada’s single payer universal health care system, known as Medicare. One word in the film captured my drifting mind and stared me down: MORAL. It was the moral thing to do, Wendy E. Shepard Canadians said, to make sure that every human being in Canada had access to good health care. It was that simple. Moral. I had heard that word so seldom in this age of corruption in business and politics that I had to look it up in the dictionary to make sure I still knew what it meant. My old 1965 Webster’s Dictionary was clear. Moral: “sanctioned by one’s conscience or ethical judgment.” Each of us, somewhere inside, has a conscience and a code of ethics by which we try to lead our lives. They are all slightly different, because we are all slightly different. The fact that you and I are unique in all of space and time, having our own special purpose for being alive, is the foun-

dation for equal worth and the foundation of our common humanity. Equal worth transcends labels like Independent, Democrat, Republican, left, right, poor, rich, striped, polkadotted. Some things, like our democracy, are defined only by our humanity, our moral core that knows what is right. According to my dictionary, democracy is “the absence of hereditary or arbitrary class distinctions or privileges.” Taking care of each other, the Canadians said, is the essence of democracy. The Canadians in the film did not understand the fear of U.S. citizens regarding universal health care. We are not socialist, said one woman, or communist; we are a democracy. We only want to be sure that every child and every adult has access to necessary health care if they are sick. In the U.S., we have made a start with Obamacare, and many states are exploring full single-payer universal health care. So-called powerful lobbies representing insurance and pharmaceutical interests are doing their best to squash this movement, but the real power lies with us – U.S. spells us – and the moral code that honors the right of health care for all. While the Canadian system is not perfect, no one in Canada goes bankrupt from health care costs (which, in the U.S., are the greatest cause of personal bankruptcy). No one in Canada is denied access. In 2004, a CBC viewer survey named Tommy Douglas, the father of Canada’s Medicare, “The Greatest Canadian.” Who will design a healthcare system that honors our equal worth and become our greatest American? — Editor’s note: Wendy E. Shepard, author of “Lucky to be Alive: A Love Story,” is a playwright, poet, and journalist. She has lived on San Juan Island for 20 years.
