ACLU enters Peace Island fray Civil liberities group claims subsidy of tax revenue violates state law, ‘urges’ contract redo

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

Claiming that the contract with PeaceHealth violates state law and the state Constitution, the ACLU of Washington is urging the San Juan County Public Hospital District to renegotiate its 50-year agreement with the Vancouverbased regional hospital and medical center conglomerate.

In a Jan. 3 letter to the hospital district, the ACLU cites the “religious establishment” clause in Article I, Section 11 of the state constitution as authority for its claim that the $1 million annual subsidy may “impermissi-

bly support” religious restrictions on reproductive and end-of-life health services.

The ACLU letter follows a September letter from the islandbased Coalition for Health Care Transparency and Equity, which sought assurances from the Hospital District commission that PeaceHealth, as a Roman Catholicbased organization, would offer a full range of reproductive and end-of-life services, even if such services would not be provided under the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services promulgated by the Roman Catholic bishops.

Attention to the Ethical and Religious Directives in the Coalition’s letter was prompted by a PeaceHealth disclosure that PeaceHealth was in negotiations with Catholic Health Initiatives of Denver, Colo., to join with other CHI hospitals form “a fully-integrated new health system”. CHI is the second-largest Catholic health care network in the U.S. and on its website proclaims its adherence to the Ethical and Religious Directives.

As a junior taxing district, the Public Hospital District levies two property taxes, one of which subsidizes emergency and underfunded primary care and the other for providing EMS and MedEvac services. The emergency and underfunded primary care subSee ACLU, Page 4

The executive committee of the Marine Resources Committee has been asked to meet with three members of the San Juan County Council in response to contacts between the MRC and state and federal agencies.

Newly installed council Chairman Jamie Stevens commented on the MRC and the results he hopes to see from the meeting: “The Marine Resources Committee performs a valuable and important service for the council and the county. I expect the smaller group to bring back to the council a plan for expanded communications between the council and the MRC.” The council decided to hold the meeting after Councilman Rich Peterson thought recent interactions between the MRC and two agencies, the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, appeared to him that the MRC was engaging in setting policy on issues involving preservation of salmon and orca populations.

The two issues - “no-go zones” for orca protection and the work closure period to protect juvenile salmon in San Juan County - have raised concern on the council that the MRC’s “valuable role in protecting and enhancing the marine environment doesn’t conflict with the council’s policy setting role,” said councilman Marc Forlenza, Friday Harbor, who will be attending the meeting along with Peterson and Patty Miller, East Orcas.

At a Dec. 5 meeting of the MRC

2011 Special Award; Second Place: General Excellence from the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association

in Friday Harbor, Peterson came prepared with a council resolution stating, “The County’s position regarding the “NoGo Zone” as proposed by the National Oceanic and At m o s p h e r i c Rich Peterson Administration will be that position articulated by the San Juan County Council and not that of any of its subcommittees or advisory groups.”

The National Marine Fisheries Service, an agency of NOAA, proposed a new “public outreach program” to reconsider its 2009 proSee Clash, Page 4 IN YOUR COMMUNITY SHOP SAN JUAN ISLAND FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

HAVE YOU HEARD?

Orcas woman charged in jewelry heist An Orcas Island woman accused of peddling stolen goods at a pawn shop in Federal Way faces felony charges in connection with the holiday-time heist at an Eastsound jewelry store.

Roughly $12,500 in hand-crafted jewelry and merchandise vanished from Shinola Jewelry sometime in the early morning hours of Dec. 23. Someone threw a large rock through the front window of the North Beach Road store, ransacked the shop and made off with a bounty of stolen merchandise, according to authorities.

On Jan. 9, prosecutors filed charges in San Juan County Superior Court accusing Cassia Mara Hernshenow of one count of first-degree trafficking in stolen property, a Class B felony, which carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both.

The 23-year-old, an Orcas Island resident for about a year-and-a-half, according to court documents, is slated to be arraigned in superior court Jan. 18. She was released under court orders and without bail pending arraignment.

The break-in and theft at Shinola is one of six burglaries and thefts under investigation that occurred in the Eastsound area over a six-week period.

Hernshenow was taken into custody Jan. 7 after being questioned by a detective at the sheriff ’s office in Eastsound. According to the arresting officer’s affidavit, she was identified as the individual who, on Dec. 24, the day after the break-in, traded assorted pieces of jewelry valued at nearly $9,000 for $850 in cash at a pawn shop in Federal Way. Several pieces purchased by the pawn shop match those missing from Shinola, according to the affidavit.

When questioned about the case, Hernshenow reportedly told the detective that she and a boyfriend acquired the jewelry from a stranger onboard a ferry bound for Anacortes that same day. According to the affidavit, the two agreed to trade a bag of marijuana they were carrying for the collection of jewelry offered up by the stranger in exchange.

Distler ascends to 2nd in command Nou reaches into the ranks; Orcas deputy promoted to undersheriff

By Colleen Smith Armstrong Islands’ Sounder Editor/Publisher

Sheriff Rob Nou rattled off a long list of attributes when describing why Deputy Bruce Distler was promoted to undersheriff: education, experience, personality, temperament, philosophy.

“It’s exciting and I am glad that process is finally done,” Nou said. “He was the best one for the job … he and I work really well together.”

Nou pored over 25 applications from five states during the past five months. Undersheriff Jon Zerby retired in July after 14 years on the job, but stayed on part-time through the late fall.

“It’s been a bit of a strain,” Nou said. “But it was really important for me to feel confident I was getting this one right.”

Nou says its an “interesting” position to fill because most people who have the skill set for the job are already in an advanced position. But Distler, who has a master’s degree in management and criminal justice from Colorado Technical University, was looking to give more to the department and stepped up to the plate.

“I thought I had a bit more to offer,” he said.

Distler is a nearly 20-year law enforcement veteran officer, serving San Juan County since 2006. Prior to beginning his law enforcement career, he served 22 years with the U.S. Air Force, retiring as a master sergeant in Aeromedical Evacuation. In his law enforcement career, Distler has worked assignments in both small towns and rural set-

Log: Cont. from page 2 of New Year Eve’s. The 42-year-old, pulled over near the intersection of Argyle Avenue and Nichols Street shortly before 2 a.m., was also ticketed for driving with a broken taillight.

Jan. 1: Allegations of assault led to the arrest of an Orcas Island man accused of attacking a 19-year-old woman at a New Year’s Eve celebration at Odd Fellows Hall. The 20-year-old, also charged with an alcoholrelated offense, was taken into custody on Main Street shortly before 1 a.m. The alleged victim was arrested for being a minor in possession of alcohol as well.

Jan. 2: An Anacortes couple claims they were harassed, threatened and stalked by the driver of a mid-80s Mustang during an excursion at South Beach.

The driver of the Mustang, described as a white male, 20-30 years of age, with a

dark mustache and knitted cap, reportedly blocked the couple’s car in parking lot for several minutes, sped off, and later pursued them out of the park, tailgating them aggressively for several miles. The car reappeared later outside the trailer where the couple was staying, idled for awhile, then sped away. n A Lopez Island woman vowed to remove the garbage and debris she reportedly dumped on the property of a next door neighbor without permission. The 71-year-old also reportedly apologized for the trespass and transgression. n Failure to obey a stop sign and use a turn signal prompted a criminal citation for a San Juan Island woman for driving with a suspended license following a late-night traffic stop in Friday Harbor.

The 35-year-old was pulled over near the intersection of Second and Court streets at about 11:30 p.m.

tings. He has served as a field training officer, school resource officer, and marine law enforcement officer. He is a drug recognition expert, specially trained to determine if people are under the influence of drugs other than alcohol.

Distler and his wife Bonni will continue to live on Orcas. He will commute to Friday Harbor, but hopes to Islands’ Sounder photo / Cali Bagby spend some office time on his home island as well.

Bruce Distler “I am an Orcas guy and I want to keep my ties there,” he said. “I have too many friends and ties to the community.

Just because I moved up in the organization, doesn’t mean I am not available to the residents of the island.”

Nou is pleased with Distler’s multi-island connection, and says, “it’s important to both the organization and the community to keep those lines of communication open.”

Distler is considered the second in command of the Sheriff ’s Office. He will supervise sergeants, detectives, corrections officers and the traffic officer. The position of sergeant on Orcas and Lopez will be announced in midJanuary. The job has been vacant since Steve Vierthaler retired last February.

“I want this to be the best possible office and give the best possible service to the members of our community,” he said. “We have a ton of good law enforcement officers. I will be making sure we’re all on the same page and getting the job done.”

Jan. 6: An ornamental ship’s clock made of mahogany and brass vanished from a Friday Harbor home in an apparent case of theft. Valued at $2,325, the clock was displayed on a shelf in the living room of a 82-year-old man’s Franck Street home at the time it disappeared.

Jan. 7: Failure to come to a stop at a stop sign prompted the arrest of a San Juan Island woman for DUI following a late night traffic stop at the intersection of Harbor and Tucker streets.

The 24-year-old, who was

pulled over at about 10 p.m., was also ticketed for failing to stop. n Lack of illumination over a license plate led to a criminal citation for a San Juan Island woman for driving with a suspended license following a late-evening traffic stop at the intersection of C and Nichols streets.

The 18-year-old, pulled over shortly before 10 p.m., was given a warning about the lack of lights above her license plate.

The statement reiterated the position taken by the commission in its response to the transparency coalition, that there had not been and would not be any loss of health care services previously provided by the hospital district through Inter Island Medical Center, including reproductive and end-of-life services.

announced any outreach meetings on the issue. At the same Dec. 5 meeting, the MRC approved a letter to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife on the “work window closure period”.

In 2005, as part of the Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Plan, DFW designated March 15 to June 14 as the time that near-shore construction throughout Puget Sound would be restricted or even closed. The MRC letter proposed “WDFW and the San Juan MRC work together again to revise the work window closure period . . . to better reflect the time that juvenile salmon are actually in our waters.”

The letter continued: “Recent local research documents that juvenile salmon are present in our area at least from March 15 through October 31. Therefore, we request that WDFW revise the work window closure period to better reflect the conditions in the San Juan Islands.”

Philip Anderson, director of DFW, responded that the department would “contact the MRC to schedule a meeting in February to discuss the work closure window.”

Councilman Peterson termed the letter and its advocacy of an extended work-window closure as “problematic.”

“The policy underlying that kind of action should be proposed by the council responding to the advice of the MRC, not by the MRC itself,” he said.

Peterson said he expects that he, Forlenza and Miller would meet with the MRC executive committee within the next few days, and said the subject of advisory committees, including the MRC, would be a topic for the annual council retreat on Monday, Jan. 14.

Sound Publishing expands, acquires Seattle Weekly Journal’s parent company adds ‘alternative’ publication into the fold Sound Publishing, the state’s largest community news organization and owner of the Journal of the San Juan Islands, has purchased the Seattle Weekly.

The Weekly, a freely distributed newspaper in Seattle and nearby cities, was purchased from Village Voice Media Holdings. Details of the purchase were not disclosed.

“The addition of the Seattle Weekly to Sound’s print and digital portfolio is very exciting,” said Josh O’Connor, VP of East Sound Newspaper Operations. “The Weekly opens up many possibilities for readers, advertisers and the communities that we serve. We appreciate the editorial focus on local news, culture and the arts. This publication has been a leader in shaping Seattle for many decades and we look forward to managing this business in the future.”

The purchase of the Seattle Weekly came in tandem with a separate purchase of the SF Weekly by the San Francisco Examiner, which is owned primarily by David Black, chairman of Black Press and other Black Press executives.

Black Press is the parent company of Sound Publishing.

Black Press operates more than 170 newspapers in western Canada and Washington in addition to the Honolulu StarAdvertiser and Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal.

Opinion Letters to the Editor

Truly grateful for all your support

Dear Island Family; We are so thankful for the beautiful Celebration of Life that you all put on for my brother Sam Carter.

You all worked hard to make a wonderful farewell for him and we are without words to express how grateful we are. Please be certain that the gift of a celebration of Sam with you all was the best way for us to spend our Christmas this year.

We thank you for your kind sacrifices of time, energy, money, food music and love... Sam was wellhonored not just by the celebration, but also by all that you all did to plan, help us be there with you, and clean up afterwards.

Thank you all so much.

Quyana! (which means thank you in Aleut). We love you all very deeply.

Thank you again, Alycia, Lionel, Quyanna and Cayeden Kenai, Alaska

League joins in concern over coal

The League of Women Voters of the San Juans would like to publicly endorse the letter of Nov. 27, 2012 written by the San Juan County Council to the lead agencies for the Gateway Pacific Terminal Environmental Impact Statement.

We thank the SJCC for addressing concerns that may impact San Juan

County. The 2013 Legislative Priorities of the Washington State League of Women Voters urges our legislators to “consider environmental quality and public health impacts when making decisions about transportation and exports.”

If the proposed coal terminal is approved, the increased vessel traffic through the waterways of the San Juan Archipelago has the potential to impact the environment and human health. It will take the efforts of all of us to be sure that the involved agencies are addressing all of our concerns.

We encourage our citizens to write to the lead agencies preparing the EIS with your concerns about the impacts.

Ask them to study potential adverse impacts and consider how impacts could be mitigated.

To comment, send an email direct to: comments @eisgatewaypacific.gov; for more information go to “Coal Trains in Washington” at: http://www.lwvwa.org/ positions.html Ann Jarrell Per League of Women Voters of the San Juans

Support for Ayers on San Juan

We are writing you today in support of Orcas Island candidate Greg Ayers for County Council.

While we are residents of San Juan Island, it is important for all of us to remember that this is an island-wide campaign, and we all can, and should vote for Greg.

When we first met Greg we were impressed by his business and government experience and how his skills could benefit the residents of San Juan County. After talking with him, asking for his insights and thoughts on the challenges and issues facing our county, we were more convinced that he is the strongest candidate to serve us.

Greg’s idea for improving the financial health of our county is novel and creative. He describes a method by which county expenses would be prioritized, and budgeted, based upon the legal obligation of the county. Then, based upon resources available and the ability of the county to deliver a certain service the expense is prioritized.

Greg’s solution just makes sense, and shows how he can take a problem and solve it in a unique way.

Equally important are Greg’s ideas for creating jobs and increasing county revenues. He is focused on realistic solutions, not “pie in the sky” ideas that are unlikely to yield revenues, let alone quality jobs.

Lastly, Greg has a pragmatic approach to protecting our island environment.

He recognizes the importance of education and sustainable programs for environmental protection and enhancement, while maintaining our island culture and way of life.

Greg’s drive, motivation and recognition of our county’s needs are very impressive. With the challenges the county will face in the future, we need council members with skills and experience, and proven results that Greg provides.

We strongly support Greg Ayers for county council and we hope you will give Greg your vote on February 12th.

Backing Pratt in Dist 1 council race

In light of the unusual transition time and changes in county government, there are some very good reasons to return Lovel Pratt to county council: knowledge of complicated issues, countywide experience and good judgment.

She is pro-active and tenacious. Her reputation for accessibility, responsiveness and follow-through are well known.

But there’s another strength that makes her our favored candidate: a balanced approach to economic development and safeguarding of the islands’ natural environment. She knows the importance of maintaining a strong local economy, including her support for sustainable tourism — emphasizing visitor education — while demonstrating solid priorities for preservation of our rural island heritage and marine resources. She has dedicated

Continued from page 6 competence have made her the face of OPAL — sort of a Steve Jobs, without the tantrums.

So, if Lisa is critical to OPAL why am I so supportive of her candidacy for county council?

Two reasons: first, the county needs her. This is not a good time for politicians and for political institutions. Lisa has the skills and temperament to make a difference. She combines three traits that make her unique in my experience.

She has vision, she sees a better future for the San Juans and has the passion to get there.

She is also pragmatic, willing to work and compromise on day-to-day issues.

This ability to put her head in the heavens while keeping her feet firmly on the ground is amplified by her unique skill at building and motivating teams. She is the best “ego wrangler” I have ever seen.

My second reason for supporting Lisa is more personal. Exceptional people like Lisa need new challenges. Lisa is and has been OPAL’s friend. Now she is our gift to the wider community.

Views differ over endorsements

In response to John Evans’ Letter to the Editor (“Better choice lies in private sector”, Jan. 9, pg. 6) I want to first say that I am proud of my contributions and accomplishments on the

council, as a volunteer, and in my previous jobs. I am also pleased with the grants that San Juan County has been fortunate to receive, and the many local jobs that resulted from those grant funds. These grant funds have not made SJC beholden to anything other than the deliverables, which are clearly stated in the grants’ contracts.

Regarding campaign endorsements, I am reminded of the disingenuous objections to endorsements during the 2012 election.

The SJC Democrats were forthright in stating their endorsements. Officers of the SJC Republican Party spoke in opposition to endorsements, yet only my opponent was included on the SJC Republican Party’s website and only my opponent was invited to speak at the GOP event that featured several regional and statewide Republican candidates.

The Journal of the San Juan Islands’ editorial on Dec. 5, 2012, gives an excellent response to Mr. Evans: “The charter doesn’t say candidates cannot be a member of, or be supported by, a political party. Nor does it specify that members of a political party, or the political party itself, cannot endorse, contribute to, or work for a given candidate.

To do so would surely be a violation of constitutional guaranties of free association and free speech…. We recognize that political parties and “special interests” can be a source of dysfunction and frustration, both locally and nationally. But we’d much rather they come right out in public with their endorsements and contributions and positions on issues. Then you can make up your mind with maximum information.”

As I See It

Broadband? Co-op at the crossroads OPALCO’s broadband venture would require big investment; who decides?

F

By Gray Cope

or OPALCO to preserve its foundational cooperative principles, the venture into a new consumer broadband business requires the approval of at least twothirds of its members.

Not many OPALCO members understand they became owners in our cooperative when they signed up for electric service and agreed to a contract that binds them and our cooperative to a legal relationship. Sounds way more serious than paying your monthly electric bill, right?

Well, it is.

However, a non-profit electric cooperative can be a beautiful way to do business if its democratic foundational principles are preserved. OPALCO is organized under seven cooperative principles. (Find them at this link: http:// www.opalco.com/about/what-is-a-coop/) The 2nd principle is democratic control by the members who actively participate in setting policies and important decisions. The 3rd principle is all members contribute equitably to and democratically control our cooperative’s capital.

Our cooperative’s earlier boards clearly limited our purposes for existing to providing electric service, electric energy distribution, storage, and generation. They did not want us to dilute our focus into other business ventures and used plain language to explicitly state our purposes, and did not provide a clause like “and for any other legal purposes.” The exact wording only takes a few minutes to read; page 20, at http://www.opalco.com/wp-content/ uploads/2009/02/bylaws-12-11.pdf Those earlier boards understood state law requires twothirds membership approval to alter our purposes and go into an entirely different line of business. This is as it should be. Otherwise, a simple majority of board or membership could have us expand into public transportation or anything else that seemed like a good idea. In this case, we would be expanding into the information super highway. Democracies often require super-majority approvals to make profound changes.

The proposed consumer broadband changes are foreign to our legal purposes and huge in relation to our cooperative. Based on the latest numbers provided by OPALCO, the first 10 years may cost members about $76 million (to build, operate, maintain, and loan interest).

That is about $7,075 for each member over 10 years, regardless if they subscribe to OPALCO broadband.

Annual maintenance costs are estimated at $1.5 million, continuing beyond that. All to be paid by our members if the broadband revenue is inadequate. (Follow link at the end for detailed calculations. Some members may pay more, some less.)* The Charter, and also the voters’ intent, does not violate our constitutional guaranties of free association and free speech by restricting endorsements. What is important is open and transparent government and that begins with the campaign. I will continue to receive and seek endorsements from individuals and groups throughout this campaign and I will ensure that those endorsements are open and transparent.

Lovel Pratt San Juan Island — Editor’s note: Lovel Pratt is a candidate for the District 1 (San Juan) County Council position

Impressed by Ayers’ acumen

I first met Greg Ayers after we both moved to the island, nearly simultaneously. We both had experience in starting businesses and had frequent discussions.

I was impressed by Greg’s experience running these businesses, hiring people and managing projects to tight timelines and budgets, and his drive to get medical devices to market. It was not surprising when he decided to begin to apply these skills in the community for the benefit of the residents of Orcas Island.

Journal file art

Information from OPALCO’s broadband study is expected to be released to its membership sometime in the next several months.

OPALCO’s broadband may have only 35 percent member adoption based on subscription costs, coverage constraints and consumer choices. Our plant assets could increase 42 percent and maintenance could double. Our board previously announced they solely would make the decision whether our cooperative branched out into consumer broadband and telecommunications. To their credit, they seem to be adopting a new approach. They have shifted from a promotional process to one of eventually presenting our membership with the facts and letting us decide.

Unfortunately, our board appears to want to avoid a legal modification of our cooperative’s purposes. Rather, I was told, they are considering an alteration to the by-laws and a vote through buy-in. I explain why this may expose our cooperative to legal action in my letter presented to the board in November. You can read it at the link below*.

With about three-quarters of a million dollars spent on the consumer broadband initiative and study, I am looking forward to the release of our hard working staff and board’s information needed to make a well-informed vote.

I remain undecided and I have a list of questions I look to answer when our board releases their information. See link below.* OPALCO’s governing cooperative principles, explicit purposes, articles of incorporation, plus state law and respect for our members’ ownership rights require a two-thirds approval of our members to expand into consumer broadband and telecommunications. Both our democratic cooperative and governing principles are worth preserving. *More information available and your comments encouraged at http://opalcowireless.boards.net

— Editor’s note: Gray Cope, a 41-year resident of San Juan Island, describes himself as pro-broadband Internet, believes electric cooperatives deserve to be unregulated by the state, supports Internet neutrality, and is grateful to the OPALCO board and staff for their hard work to guide us into the future.

After working with volunteer island organizations pertaining to public health issues, I was not surprised to hear that he was going to run for the position of commissioner of the Eastsound Water and Sewer District.

I strongly supported his candidacy and was pleased when he secured election.

Subsequently, Greg Ayers and I have worked together with our respective organizations, the ESWD and the Eastsound Water Users Association, to protect the Eastsound Aquifer. Greg has shown initiative and facilitated quality communication between the two organizations, including

working with me in support of connecting homes outside the UGA to the sewer system.

I know he has faced other challenges in connecting homes to the ESWD sewer system and has, in my opinion, provided creative and fair solutions for homeowners.

I feel that Greg has the qualifications, experience and personal drive necessary to address the problems and issues currently facing San Juan County. Therefore, I highly recommend that you cast your vote for Greg Ayers for County Council.

tudents at Friday Harbor High School are learning valuable lessons both inside and outside of the classroom, and in their junior year in particular.

That’s when most enroll in the school’s Community Projects class, a requirement for graduation in which the curriculum allows students to take the lead in turning an idea into reality for benefit of their hometown, school, medical center, historical museum or animal shelter, to name just a few recent beneficiaries. Here’s a sample of lessons learned in the fall semester: n Putting on a successful bake sale is hard work. n A cellphone charger draws 12 kilowatts of power when it’s plugged in, even if it’s not electrifying your phone. n More arrests are made each year for DUI than any other crime in San Juan County. n If you offer the right incentive to the right audience, a book drive can succeed beyond your wildest imagination... And that’s just for starters.

“Our goal was to get 200 and we wound up with 2,100 in two weeks,” Otis Cooper-West said of the haul of children’s books that he and class partner Nelson Wynn collected for patients of Peace Island Medical Center. Turns out elementary and middle school children will compete like crazy and empty out their book shelves at home when the grand prize is exclusive rights to an ice cream party. The second graders came out on top at the elementary school.

“And we didn’t get a bunch of knockoffs either,” Nelson adds. “We got the good stuff, like Curious George and Dr. Suess.”

Projects from previous years include construction of a green house across the street from the high school and installation of a path of paving stones on the grounds of the historical museum.

At the start of each semester, people come into t h e class to pitch ideas and possible projects for students to consider. These would-be mentors help students formulate a plan, keep them on task and sometimes help problem-solve when obstacles creep up. A former teacher and energy-efficiency advocate, Katie Fleming, who helped introduce what’s known as the “Cool School Challenge” in Bellingham, took Libby Snow and Kate Fenley under her wing.

“We knew we wanted to do something with energy and ways that might save money,” Libby said. “We met with OPALCO and found out grants take a long time to get so we shifted our focus to awareness and education.”

Through use of a “carbon calculator”, they performed an energy audit on a single classroom and discovered the school could save itself $600 a year by lowering the thermostat by just two degrees in its 20 or so classrooms. They made posters with energy-efficiency factoids to put up on the school walls, distributed energy efficient light bulbs and power-strips, and even got teachers and administrators to sign pledges to be vigilant about not wasting electricity.

Maddy Marinkovich and Jared Tompkins launched Operation Metal Bottle following an impassioned speech

by Helen Venada about how many plastic bottles and containers end up in landfills across the country.

Based on his research online, Jared discovered as few as 10 percent are recycled. They slaved away in the kitchen to produce enough bake goods for four bake sales and secured a donation from the Leo Club in order to purchase 347 metal bottles, emblazoned with the school’s Wolverine logo, and distributed them to the student body.

Total cost: $1,100.

“Bake sales are really difficult, but the payoff is good when you see people using the bottles,” Maddy said. “If you do a bake sale, make sure you have cookies. People like cookies, and brownies.”

Disparity in FT attempts, 28-3, looms large in 4-point defeat

cent from the charity stripe, hitting on 15- of-28 attempts; Friday Harbor had three free-throw attempts for the entire game.

Senior Jean Melborne scored 13 points to lead the Wolverines (4-10) and junior Tabatha Keane had 10 before going to the bench with her fifth foul with six minutes left in regulation.

Coming off their biggest victory of the season, a 40-33 win at Meridian, in which they clinched a post-season bid, the Wolverines took the loss in stride.

“They really kicked our butts when we played over there earlier,” Melborne said of a 44-25 loss at Orcas in the second game of the season. “Seeing how much they celebrated, we know that they have respect for us.”

Next: Friday Harbor faces Northwest 1A/2B League rival Concrete on the road, Thursday, at 5 p.m., and is home to host regional 1A rival Lynden Christian, Saturday; tipoff is noon.

Vikings rally, FH upset bid falls short The Vikings didn’t exactly make the most of their many free-throw opportunities, but they knocked down just enough when it mattered most to turn the tables on the Wolverines and waltz out of Friday Harbor with a 35-31 come-from-behind win, Friday, in Turnbull Gym. Trailing by five with four minutes left in regulation, junior Bella Nigretto sank one-of-two free-throw attempts and then drained a 3-pointer with just over two minutes to play to bring the Vikings (4-3) within a point, at 31-30.

Senior Lana Bronn hit a pair of free throws 60 seconds later to give Orcas a 1-point advantage and, ultimately, the victory.

The Wolverines, down 21-17 at the half, tallied the first 10 points of the third period and outscored Orcas 12-4 after the break to claim a 29-21 lead going into the final eight minutes of

the game. But they scored just two points in the final period.

“That’s been our ‘M.O.’ all season,” head coach Greg Sasan said of the Vikings third-quarter futility.

“Sometimes I wish we didn’t have a halftime. I’m not sure which team is going to come back out on the floor.

But we recovered, and the girls really hung in there and fought back.”

Nigretto tossed in a game-high 16 points, including 8-of-14 from the free-throw line. Orcas shot 54 per-
