Friday Harbor High School’s 9th and 10th grade Knowledge Bowl team celebrate its victory, its second straight, at the 19th Annual Knowledge Bowl, March 7 at San Juan Community Theatre.

Bold bet clinches K-Bowl crown Foundation delivers $60K to schools at annual trivia contest

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

Friday Harbor High School’s 9th and 10th grade team backed up its bravado by capturing the coveted Knowledge Bowl crown for the second year in a row.

But it took a bold move and a hefty bet with the game on the line.

“I wanted to bet 39 and Dalton (Ayers) thought we should do 35,” said Max Haenel, who helped the 9th and 10th graders claim the K-Bowl championship in his freshman year.

“So we kinda went back and forth from there and finally decided on something in-between, 37.”

After fielding 40 tough trivialike questions under the bright

lights of the main stage of San Juan Community Theatre, host of San Juan Public Schools Foundation’s annual fundraising event, No. 19 and counting, the score was dead even, with the two top teams, the sophomores and freshmen, and the juniors and seniors, tied at 40 points apiece.

And then there were the Soroptimists, with 37 points, nipping at their heels.

Furnished by the folks at the Friday Harbor branch of Islanders Bank, founded in 1981, the final question, the tie-breaker, involved math, “basic math”, as described by the event’s veteran emcee, Brent Snow, a member of the San Juan Island School District’s board of directors. It went something like this: “How many triangles can be made out of three straight objects of unequal length?”

Answer: one.

Taking a conservative tack, the four-person team of upperclass-

man came up with the correct answer, as did the 9th and 10th grade team, but bet only three points. While the Soroptimists missed it, the Rotary Club answered the question correctly and catapulted into second place by betting all 23 of its points.

Though the trivia competition is the headliner of the annual Knowledge Bowl, it is, at heart and soul, a fundraising event, the biggest of the year for the Public Schools Foundation. At the outset of the March 7 event, the foundation presented its customary “big check” to school Superintendent Rick Thompsen, a total of $60,587 in donations.

According to the Foundation’s Nancy Young, with this year’s installment the group has nearly reached its goal of raising $1 million to help supplement the school district and its spending on education. It has raised roughly $987,000 to date.

English Camp is growing, and may grow more.

The National Park Service acquired 34 acres of the former Westcott Bay Sea Farms property from the Conservation Fund for about $2.5 million and is seeking to acquire 36 additional acres for $400,000 when funding can be arranged.

The land has been owned since the 1960’s by the Webb family.

Bill and Doree Webb purchased the property from Roche Harbor’s Tarte Family, and for a few years operated a private summer camp for boys on the site.

The Webb family operated an oyster farming and marketing business on the property for more than 30 years. The present conservation plans provide for continuing operation of the oyster business on the leased tidelands and about five waterfront acres that are not part of the transaction.

“The National Park Service was looking for a way to add valuable land to the park without compromising the ability of the oyster farm to operate and we’re pleased that we will be able to achieve both goals here,” said San Juan Island National Historical Park Superintendent Lee Taylor. “The beautiful property will be a wonderful addition to the national historical park and will provide real benefits to the community.”

The acquired land includes about a half-mile of Westcott Bay’s south shore and will be added to English Camp. The 11 shoreline acres adjoining the present English Camp provide rare beach access in the bay, especially at low

Mark Elsbree of the Conservation Fund, a nationally renowned preservation-minded non-profit that offers financing for land acquisitions, which provided interim bridge funding for this project and for the $3 million acquisition by NPS of more than 320 acres on nearby Mitchell Hill, is pleased with his organization’s involvement.

“The amount of open space available to the public is limited on the island,” Elsbree said, “and the addition of the Webb property will further allow the Park Service to preserve and enhance the outstanding historical, natural and See Westcott, Page 4 IN YOUR COMMUNITY SHOP SAN JUAN ISLAND FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

Two face trial on drug ‘trafficking’ charges SJ man to stand trial for allegedly dealing cocaine

A San Juan Island man accused of selling cocaine on three separate occasions to a Sheriff ’s Department informant in late autumn is slated to stand on a trio of drug-related felonies in mid-May. On March 1, Trevor Kent Easterbrook, 26, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to three counts of delivery of a controlled substance — cocaine, a Class B felony.

He was released under court orders and a $10,000 bond pending a May 20 trial date.

Arrested Feb. 15, Easterbrook was taken into custody at his Friday Harbor home at about 11 p.m. after a team of officers, armed with a search warrant, confronted the 26-year-old on the doorstep of his residence in Sunshine Alley. Four people were inside the home, in addition to Easterbrook, at the time authorities descended upon the scene. Officers reportedly seized nearly a half-dozen electronic scales and 46 grams of cocaine - one-tenth of a pound, with an estimated “street value” of roughly $4,000.

According to court documents, Easterbrook, who has reportedly

been an island resident for about 10 years, became the target of an undercover narcotics investigation in early September. He allegedly sold several grams of cocaine to an informant recruited by the Sheriff ’s Department in three separate instances, over a twoweek period, beginning Sept. 19.

A Class B felony, delivery of a controlled substance carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state is 21-27 months in prison for a first offense.

Traffic stop leads to heroin trafficking trial

A former Bellingham man with a woeful driving record and familiar face will stand trial on a felony drugrelated offense in mid-April following a serendipitous traffic stop in Friday Harbor.

On March 1, Joshua Merle Hutchinson, 32, pleaded not guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver — heroin, a Class B felony, and to one count of first-degree driving with license suspended, a gross misdemeanor. Bail

was set at $5,000 pending an April 16 trial date.

According to court documents, Hutchinson was pulled over and arrested Feb. 21 on drug trafficking and driving-related charges after driving by the Sheriff ’s office in Friday Harbor at about 1 p.m. He was pursued and pulled over by a deputy who reportedly suspected that the man’s license had yet to be reinstated.

At the time of the arrest, authorities reportedly uncovered and seized seven grams of heroin, an assortment of paraphernalia and packaging materials, and $1,157 cash from the vehicle Hutchinson was traveling in. The 32-year-old, identified in police reports as having no permanent address, reportedly admitted to be addicted to the drug.

A Class B felony, possession of heroin with intent to deliver carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state is 21-27 months in prison for a first offense. A gross misdemeanor, driving with license suspended in the first degree carries maximum penalties of one year in jail, a $5,000 fine, or both.

Employees reportedly saw the 24-year-old add the merchandise from jacket into the bag of groceries she had paid for moments after she exited The Marketplace.

Feb. 12: A towing mishap prompted a trio of traffic tickets for an Orcas Island man after the trailer he had in tow became detached from his truck, veered off the roadway and slammed into a tree in the 500 block of Orcas Road.

The 24-year-old, ticketed for failure to secure a load, expired tags and for driving without insurance, reportedly watched helplessly as the trailer, hauling a boat at the time, drifted by his truck as he slowed and ran off the road on its own.

Feb. 14: Inattentive driving and a cracked windshield led to the arrest of a San Juan Island man for DUI following a late morning traffic stop in Friday Harbor.

The 58-year-old, who reportedly was driving left of center on the roadway, was pulled over near the intersection of Court and Second streets shortly after 11 a.m.

A sharp object reportedly was used to puncture the sidewalls of each tire, valued at $200 apiece.

Feb. 17: A late-night altercation at a Deer Harbor home prompted the arrest of an Orcas Island man for felony assault.

The 35-year-old, who faces charges of seconddegree assault and unlawful imprisonment, allegedly choked his live-in girlfriend and repeatedly threw her to the ground after an argument erupted into a struggle. He claims to have been defending himself after the woman slugged him several times in the face.

Orcas Bowl team seizes second chance trip to notable places such as Catalina Island, Duke University’s Marine Lab or a science-related marine adventure.

This year’s finale will take place in the backyard of the national competition’s 2012 champ, Wisconsin’s Marshfield High School, and the theme is, “The Great Lakes: A Window into Fresh Water Science.” Now that, sounds like a clue.

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

The quest for a fourth consecutive trip to the national marine sciences competition seemed all but lost.

Friday Harbor, the threetime defending state Orca Bowl champ, had suffered a heartbreaking defeat, falling by a mere three points to Garfield High School in the final stage of the Washington state annual regional showdown, Feb. 23, on the University of Washington campus.

But a snap to its win streak wasn’t the final chapter, not by a long shot. Why? Because Garfield declined to cash in on its automatic berth and as state runnerup, Friday Harbor is next in line.

“I think the way we got in may motivate the kids to actually study even harder,” said Jessie Visciglia, faculty advisor of Friday Harbor’s Orca Bowl squad. “We’re back in the race.”

In a quasi-Jeopardylike format, members of the marine sciences teams

face myriad ocean-related toss-up questions and team challenge questions that can span the range of just about any field of natural sciencechemistry, biology, physics, geology and even history and economics.

With a backdoor berth into the national showdown, senior Gavin Guard, and juniors Michael Barsamian, Emily Guard and Libby Snow — the Wolverines “A” team — will join a field of roughly 24 teams from around the nation competing April

18-21 in Milwaukee, Wis., for the title of champion of the 2013 National Ocean Sciences Bowl, aka the Orca Bowl. Friday Harbor placed 13th in the national showdown in Baltimore a year ago.

Schuh to lead Youth Rally Orcas High School senior Cameron Schuh, a 2012 Opalco scholarship recipient, was elected by his peers at the multi-state 2012 Co-op Youth Rally to return this year as a Youth Director.

At a planning meeting for the 2013 Rally this month in Boise, Cameron was elected President of the 2013 Youth Directors.

The Co-op Youth Rally is a one-week program for high school sophomores and juniors, established in 1986. It educates students about rural electrification and grassroots organization, helps them develop leadership skills - and also provides some good summer camp fun.

For 2013, OPALCO will select three students to receive the Nourdine Jensen Cooperative Youth Scholarship ($500) and, with Cameron, attend the Co-op Youth Rally and leadership camp at the College of Idaho.

“This is a life-changing experience,” says Schuh after the 2012 Rally. “I have met so many new and interesting people and am making friendships that will last a lifetime.”

The three students from San Juan County (along with OPALCO chaperones) will join 100 peers from rural electric co-ops in Idaho, Alaska, Oregon, Wyoming, and Utah for a packed schedule of leadershipbuilding and fun events. The Rally, scheduled for July 8-13, is hosted by the Idaho Consumer Utilities Association, which also sponsors additional scholarship awards and leadership opportunities to participating students.

After 20 years, county clears GMA compliance hurdle County gains access to state funding sources by being GMA-approved

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

Who could blame them if they uncorked the champagne?

Twenty-one years after it all began, San Juan County received a letter of congratulations from Washington state Growth Management Services for “completion of the comprehensive plan and development regulations update process.”

That letter, dated Feb. 5, signifies that the county is “in compliance” with Growth Management Act requirements that the county complete a series of updates to its comprehensive plan and development regulations no later than Dec. 1, 2005.

“In compliance” means that the county will not have money withheld under a variety of sanctions and funding restrictions imposed on non-compliant counties. The main funding sources not available to the county were loans or grants from the Centennial Clean Water Fund and the Public Works Trust Fund.

Applications for grants or loans from either of those two funds might include matching funds for relocation of Cattle Point Road, planning money for connecting Pear Point Road to Turn Point Road, stormwater improvements throughout the county, various road signage and guardrail improvements on all islands, and several million dollars needed for improvements to Orcas Road, and for replacing the Deer Harbor Bridge on Orcas, both of which are part of the $12.7 million six-year county transportation improvement program.

In addition, other sources of funding, such as money administered by the state Recreation and Conservation Office, give competitive preference points to compliant counties.

Councilman Rich Peterson thought the compliance letter was “good news,” but cautioned that “there might not be any state money left” after four years of state budget problems.

In fact, in 2010, because of severe budget shortfalls, the Legislature transferred the entire Public Works Trust Fund to the state general fund. (The fund does get replenished, sometimes by federal appropriations, however.)

Additional sanctions that might have been imposed by the state include withholding from a non-compliant county a share of various taxes, such as the motor vehicle excise tax, the transportation improvement account and the sales and use tax. These were never applied to San Juan County, and are rarely used.

The most important updates were the ordinances passed by the county council in late 2012 - the Critical Areas Ordinances now being reviewed by the Growth Management Hearings Board after five individuals and organizations filed “Petitions for Review” seeking to overturn various parts of the CAO update.

Other GMA requirements include updated county plans and regulations dealing with shoreline management programs, the transportation element of the Comprehensive Plan, and development regulations. The transportation element and the shoreline management program are both currently in the review and preparation process, but are fully compliant with state requirements, for now.

The current reviews by the GMHB may - and, some say, likely will - find fault with one or more of the ordinances.

That could trigger another period of non-compliance, and another period of funding restrictions for county projects.

Now for the “catch”: state law provides that before June

Rick Larson (2nd Dist.) and Suzan DelBene (1st District), and Democratic senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell recently sent a letter to President Obama asking once again that he use the presidential powers provided by the Antiquities Act of 1906 to register the lands and islands as a national monument.

“Whether through action by congress or the president, the federal government should answer islanders’ calls to permanently protect these lands for the enjoyment of all,” Larsen said in a March 7 press release. “Senator Cantwell, Senator Murray,

Representative DelBene and I will continue our dogged support on behalf of all the environmental, business and tribal leaders throughout Northwest Washington who want to see the dream of permanent protection made into a reality.”

Designation of the lands, presently managed by the Bureau of Land Management of the U.S. Department of the Interior, would put the 1,000 acres under permanent federal protection and would qualify the lands for federal appropriations for preservation, accessibility and enhancement.

Port reaps payoff with new lights

The Port of Friday Harbor recently received a rebate of $4,720 from OPALCO’s Commercial Lighting Upgrade Program following the installation of LED taxiway signs and lights at the airport.

This lighting replacement was part of the 2012 Taxiway ‘A’ Realignment project. The project included replacement of 34 signs and 186 taxiway edge lights with LED fixtures. The Port estimated it will save 30 percent each year in electrical usage.

The Taxiway proj-

ect totaled $3.4 million, and the lights and signs totaled roughly $300,000 of that amount. A grant from the Federal Aviation Administration paid for 90 percent of the project. About $90,700 came from the Washington

State Department of Transportation, and port kicked in $250,000.

The port intends to replace its runway lights with LED technology in 2014, as part of its goal of reducing the airports operating costs.

Quality of health care? Better now

How fortunate our community came come together, and with so many generous donations, to create a fabulous medical facility for the island when so many small communities find themselves without a local clinic at all, as they are financially unsustainable.

I was also ‘jabbed in the butt’ by nuns in my youth as your contributor for last week wrote, (“Hackles on high over health care”, Feb. 27, pg.

7). In my case, having Rocky Mountain spotted fever with a mortality rate of 30 percent at the time, the care I received from the nuns most likely saved my life, for which I am very grateful.

Discussion of an event in the far past (who likes to get shots, really?), unrelated to our new center seems uncharitable at best.

and the new facility continues to provide the same services as before, but also provides additional levels of care previously unavailable, possibly avoiding ferry trips or helicopter rides to care on the mainland. Being a new facility, the experience gets better and better.

If there is something specific about the service provided by the new facility, and you did not participate in the numerous meetings that the writer has a specific issue of concern, why not directly ask the administrator. I have found her to be absolutely accessible, accommodating and well informed.

Having been a full-time island resident for 40 years, I have watched people come to our lovely island, and many find it does not suit them. How lucky we are that we still live in the land of choice, and if you do not like it here, plan B or C is move somewhere else.

My vote of thanks to all the people who made the medically advanced, amazing facility possible, and all the generous private donations that also made it a beautiful work of art, and most important to the people who work there providing quality care for our islanders and visitors.

Every Friday night, the children of Orcas Island have a treat in store for them. County Councilman Rick Hughes and his wife Marlace organize a safe, fun night of roller skating.

In the winter, there are few family activities.

As everyone knows, this time of year can be cold, dark and gloomy. Stepping into the warm, bright gym, you are greeted with hiphop music, parents chatting, and exuberant kids skating by.

My brothers and I look forward to roller skating all year long. The Hughes have done the island community a great service. Roller skating is just one example of the public service done by Rick Hughes. Thank you, Rick, for preserving this fun, family tradition.

of the philanthropic work we perform. When I hear reports that Republicans don’t care about the poor, I cringe.

Let me enlighten why Republicans have a unique approach to helping people.

We believe in people. We believe in the “American Spirit”. We believe that helping people in need is as important as bringing people out of need.

Food stamps, subsidized housing and welfare should provide help to strengthen our needy to become strong viable citizens for our communities. They can then further help others in need.

Keeping people in the subsidy system keeps them controlled and dependent.

Also, working the system has become quite popular.

Many have very valid reasons for being in the system and use it honorably; however, I do not think it is a place to have tenure for most.

Republicans believe in supporting business so our

communities can be vibrant, with services provided by taxes and private endeavors.

That is often interpreted as favoring the rich. I would suggest asking if any business owner running a business in this economy feels privileged after working the 80-hour week needed to stay open.

I praise business owners who stay in the fight, providing jobs and taxes to our community. Remember them when you hire someone on the side who does not report income. You are hurting the tax paying businesses and your community.

Now get out there and serve our community, feed the hungry and house the needy. You can do it better than the government. You will find out we have so much in common.

Matter of control versus inspiration

Editorial

As I See It

State Parks 100th; party or wake?

Counterpoint: bridging the divide

T

he 100th anniversary of the Washington State Parks, coming March 19, is worth celebrating, especially here in the San Juan Islands.

The only question is whether we should throw Parks a party or a wake.

All of the 18 state parks in San Juan County are scheduling events to commemorate the creation of the Parks Commission 100 years ago.

But few if any of those ceremonies will highlight the funding problems that plagued the parks a century ago and that have recently returned as state park appropriations were reduced by 80 percent between 2009 and 2013.

The state parks in San Juan County are a major part of the area’s quality of life, and its economy.

The locations are an inventory of beautiful places from Sucia Island in the north to Turn Island in the south, from Lime Kiln Park on Haro Strait to James Island on Rosario Strait.

They range in size from Moran’s 5,250 forested acres (third largest in the state) to Posey Island’s one acre (the smallest).

Every park has its own stunning views and fascinating shorelines — and thousands of visitors.

They are a resource for the soul and for the economy as well. And they are a resource in peril.

Full funding for 117 state parks would be more than $100 million for the 2013-2015 biennium.

The budget being written now, including funds generated by the parks themselves, will probably be less than half the amount needed.

Don’t take the parks for granted. Tell state Senator Kevin Ranker and Reps. Kristine Lytton and Jeff Morris to fight for the parks.

Buy and use a Discovery Pass to give you access to the parks, and buy a moorage pass (for $4 per foot, a bargain) if you boat in our Salish Sea boating paradise.

Not everything holds up as well as Washington state’s parks. They’ve proven to be a good investment and should be well worth our time and money.

By its willingness to open more trails, National Parks has united various —sometimes competing — outdoor enthusiasts in a common cause

By Barbara Nash Bevens

attended the National Park Service meeting at the SJI Library on Feb. 13, concerning horse trails on behalf of 4-H Bits ‘n Spurs. There was a preponderance of horse people in attendance, as we fervently wish for more “places to go and things to do.”

From my perspective, the deck was not “stacked.” I heard about the meeting from the WSU Extension Office, 4-H division, not the horse community.

I was amazed at how thoroughly and thoughtfully NPS Superintendent Lee Taylor had prepared her presentation.

It was clear that the National Park Service has put much thought into both designating and maintaining trails of all sorts over many years. The protocol was incredibly detailed, the presentation also.

In following Mr. Curley’s article in order, he mentions manure piles and stated that little thought was given to them (“Deck stacked in debate over trail use”, Guest Column, Feb. 27, pg. 7). They were mentioned a minimum of three times, and Superintendent Taylor’s responses were clear and detailed.

Taylor stated that invasive species were a potential concern and would be monitored and noted for future trail use. This was standard NPS protocol for (all) National Parks.

Trail width concerning right-of-way was also addressed.

Horses are only allowed on trails that fit NPS criteria, which comfortably allow for hiker/biker passing. Standard procedure on any trail has always been to call out “on your right” when one desires to pass. If a family should happen to approach a horse/rider, common courtesy would be to call out. Common sense dictates that one should keep a reasonable distance from any animal, including dogs.

As far as degrading the trails and permanent damage being done while the parks monitor and assess for a year; I would beg to differ. The average trail allowable to horses is already sufficiently wide and well-cleared. The specific trail which upset Mr. Curley to such an extent was (not) one of

Letters:

Continued from page 7 but it is our adversaries that disturb us enough to get off the porch and go to work in the rain.

You suggest incentives to help our economy, but fail to point out that incentives generally shade one plant to help another one grow.

What really grows individuals and thus an economy is inspiration.

Inspiration naturally blossoms within a system of trust and expressed social confidence, while incentives are a controlling force which creates imbalance in the greater economic system (EcoSystem).

Those individuals who are given a handout rather than a hand up are effectively being taught that they do not have the power to compete in this world. People in these situations often wake up and realize they have been enslaved by another person’s lack of confidence in them.

Shame and anger are a natural response. Look at

well-meaning social experiments such as the “projects” in cities such as Chicago.

How has that worked out?

I support the Homes for Islanders template because islanders create “sweat equity” by working on their own houses and end up with an unencumbered title to the property. I trust that they will do the “right” things with their own property.

Lisa, the government needs to pave the roads, not our lives. Bumps in life’s road calls forth creativity and creativity builds not only an interesting individual, but a vibrant community worth living in (and visiting).

I will be voting for individuals who have grown up on unpaved roads and will trust me, and value me as a creative spirit having a human experience.

the proposed trails.

Superintendent Taylor stated that NPS intended to limit the number of permits for horse riders on the trails to just 20. The “draft” papers handed out at the meeting were just that; a draft. Taylor specified that the papers were only a draft and an indicator of what information was to be requested, for those who wanted to see what was expected.

She also stated that she had not yet made a final decision on increasing the horse trails.

Tight economic times. This argument is specious, as the trails are maintained predominantly by volunteers. It was the horse community and the Community Projects volunteers from Friday Harbor High School who built a second puncheon bridge for all users last spring. They were supported by the trails committee and the biking community.

I was a part of this project and saw the commitment and dedication of all of these groups working together; the sense of community it fostered and the desire and ability of all to work together.

On behalf of the board of directors of the Madrona Institute, I would like to acknowledge and thank local organizations who have provided financial support for this year’s program: San Juan Island Community Foundation, San Juan Masonic Lodge No. 175, and United Way of San Juan County.

Ron Zee San Juan Island — Editor’s note: Mr. Zee is CEO of The Madrona Institute

Ali’s famed reply still rings true

In The Journal, 3/6, Rick Steinhardt discusses the life values needed for a stable community (“Ties that bind are a matter of trust”, pg. 6).

I agree with his letter,

with exception to his reference to the government and the armed forces.

Wars start at the top. It’s the people who fight and the people who pay. The top provides those unspeakable situations for our pristine boys to kill, kill, kill.

Upon survival they return home mentally damaged.

Of those veterans returning from Vietnam, 9,000 chose suicide. Are those at the top criminals?

Historian H.G. Wells concluded after study of the rise and fall of empire: “We must get rid of the militarist, not only because he hurts and kills, but

because he is an intolerable, thick-voiced blockhead who stands hectoring and blustering in our way to achievement.” The Mennonite preacher: “You can’t prepare for peace while preparing for war.”

Truman dropped “The” bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki — 200,000.

Curtiss Lemay fire-stormed Tokyo one night. No oxygen, 100,000.

WWII, the “Good” war, over 50,000,000. The continuing Iraqi, Afghan wars — with those drone bombings — who knows what carnage?

The Pentagon uses over

50 percent of each neighborhood’s tax dollars. The government and the armed forces are helping neighborhoods neither domestically nor abroad.

During the entire decade of the ‘60s, one famous statement became popular.

If each of us and all those soldiers who were killed or maimed would have had the sensibilities to respond as Muhammad Ali did, that great wall in D.C., with those tens of thousands of names, would not be there today.

“Man, I ain’t got no quarrel with them Vietcong.”

Laurie A. Mason: 1947 — 2013 Laurie A. Mason, a lifetime islander, passed away peacefully Friday night, March 1, 2013 in Friday Harbor with family at her side.

Laurie was born in downtown Friday Harbor in December 1947 to Jack and Patricia Fairweather. She grew up in a great neighborhood with lots of kids, on Argyle Ave., where she spent her youth laughing and playing with her sister Wendy and their many animals and family pets.

She graduated from Friday Harbor High in 1965 and spent two years at Skagit Valley Community College.

In the spring of 1968, she married Vaughn and this month would have celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary. In the early years, when their children were young, they loved to host salmon barbecues in the summer at Kanaka Bay and hosted many dinner parties and card games at their home. They loved going to Hawaii and most recently spending time together in the sun at their condo in Palm Springs.

Laurie always seemed to work with the public. In high school she worked at the ferry landing. After her kids were born, she worked at UPS as their first and only driver for several years, toting her kids around in her Volkswagon delivery van. She worked at the Sears store downtown, the Texaco gas station and lastly for more than 20 years at the fuel pier on the waterfront.

Laurie loved singing and music. She mastered the guitar, teaching herself to play. He took her guitar to barbecues encouraging everyone to sing along and always played and sang to her kids. She sang in choirs in school and most of her life. For her 50th birthday she went to the Contributed photo Rolling Stones concert in Laurie Mason Vancouver, B.C. She adored animals, especially cats. From childhood on she always had at least one, but usually more with all of the strays she took in.

She rode horses in her younger years and loved and fed “Popeye” the port’s seal every day for years. She was an avid reader and was constantly trading books with her dad, mom and sister. On a long rainy day, she could finish two good murder mysteries. She loved crossword puzzles, taking on the N.Y. Times crossword, often finishing it.

Laurie had a huge heart, particularly for the less fortunate. Her pocket, cupboard or front door was always open to those who needed it. She didn’t judge, everyone

Still enchanting after all these years…

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

I

t’s not everyday that we have the chance to celebrate a one-hundredth birthday, but 2013 marks the centenary of the state park system and the special place of the San Juan Islands in that system makes this a year to celebrate.

The San Juans have the smallest state park (1-acre Posey Island) and the third-largest (5200-acres Moran on Orcas).

And perhaps the most famous and popular, Lime Kiln Point State Park, opened on Haro Strait in 1984, where Orcas can be seen up close and personal - closer even than the whale-watching boats.

The state parks are their own archipelago of boat-friendly landings, many of them with camping, in the San Juan Archipelago: Islands named Blind, Clark, Doe, James, Jones, Matia, Patos, Posey, Stuart, Sucia, Turn, and Skull are all part of the marine state parks system and all welcome visitors - but check the state parks website at www.parks. wa.gov to see which ones want you to arrive using arm or wind power only. The San Juan Island state parks rival Desolation Sound and the Gulf Islands as unspoiled destinations that you can get to.

Moran State Park will be scheduling a number of birthday-year events, including Saturday, July 27th, when Crow Valley Pottery, Friends of Moran and Plein Air Washington Artists present an artistic celebration of 100 years of Washington State Parks. Other parks, like the ever-popular Spencer Spit on Lopez and 564-acre Sucia Island State

Park (accessible only by boat) will be awaiting fun-and-sun seekers, beachwalkers, campers and cold-water swimmers. All three parks have various new facilities built in recent years to celebrate the hundredth birthday.

Lime Kiln Point State Park and the Friends of Lime Kiln Society, also know as FOLKS, are partnering with the Whale Museum, the Historic Museum, the Land Bank and the Trails Committee to make this a year to remember. They’re expecting a record year of visitors - approaching a quarter-million people from as many as 40 countries and as many states.

The attractions of Lime Kiln are both spectacular and thoughtprovoking. Three pods of Southern Resident whales, a lighthouse built in 1916, a lime kiln dating from Civil War times, and an interpretive center focusing on whales provide the context for hours of viewing, photography, hiking in pristine forests and learning about the unique environment of San Juan Island.

The first two events are set: on Saturday, March 23, a San Juan Trails Know Your Island walk in the Park and the neighboring Land Bank 140acre Preserve, followed by a birthday party with cake and refreshments at the Interpretive Center. Then, on Saturday, April 20, FOLKS and allies will celebrate earth day with the First Annual Clean-Up Day, a chance to work out the kinks and enjoy a verdant Spring day. Erin Corra at 378-5154 (erincorra@folkssji.org) can answer questions, sign you up or provide details about future events.

It’s going to be quite a Spring, Summer and Fall. There won’t be another one for a hundred years.

Saturday, Mar. 23 Know Your Island Walk, 1-4 p.m., Lime Kiln State Park, 1567 Westside Road. SJI Conservation Corps’ Sarah Hansen, Land Bank’s Doug McCutcheon lead a 2-mile tour and review of recent trail construction and maintenance

by SJICC; followed by cake, celebration of state Parks Centennial, hosted by Friends of Lime Kiln Society. Dogs on leashes welcome. Info, www.sanjuanislandtrails.org.

Students shine at regional art contest Artwork by five FH students chosen for state competition

Friday Harbor dominated this year’s regional high school art competition, with five students claiming seven of Northwest region’s berths in the upcoming statewide finals.

Works of art by seniors Will Kromer, Kaylen, Robyn Roberts, and juniors Ellery Von Dassow and Alaina Scheffer were selected to represent Northwest Educations District 189 in the 40th Annual OSPI High School Art Competition. Comprised of 35 school districts in five different counties, the NWESD s e r v e s roughly 16 percent of Washington state’s K-12 public school students.

from large to small, like San Juan Island, and urban to rural (again, like San Juan).

Friday Harbor’s five winners earned a spot in the finals even though rules of Art Competition allow the region’s larger school districts to submit more student pieces than the smaller schools. The winning selections will be displayed at an awards ceremony at the Everett School District Educational Center, March 15, from 5-6:30 p.m.

The state competition features winning art pieces chosen from the state’s nine different regions.

Around Town Students versus faculty in ‘hoops’ benefit, dinner

Grudge matches just don’t get any better than this. Or more fun either.

Bragging rights will be on the line — most likely for years to come — when the senior class squares off against Friday Harbor High School’s faculty (and friends) in the “Clash on the Hardcourt”, annual fundraiser for “Senior Night” at graduation.

Sponsored by the Friday Harbor High School PTA, the evening’s entertainment gets under way at 5 p.m., with dinner in the high school commons, a hamburger or hot dog meal. $10 adults, $5 children.

Activities include a dessert auction and a “split-thepot” raffle drawing.

Tip-off for the faculty versus seniors (and allies) is 6:30 p.m. If history repeats, the outcome on the court could well be determined by which team winds up with the ball and drains a buzzerbeater in the closing seconds of the contest. Don’t go hungry, the competition is bound to be dizzying just on its own. Info, 378-4014.

Now here’s a potluck and educational program truly made to order — Robert’s Rules of Order, that is.

Before earning the rank of brigadier, in 1901, three days before retiring, U.S. Army engineer Henry Martyn Robert (1837-1923) developed an eponymous manual of parliamentary procedures, Robert’s Rules of Order, that have been used as ground rules for fair play when people get together to make good decisions, whether governmental body, board of directors, committee doing the public’s work, or just about anything in between. Do I hear a second?

Closer to home, the famed military engineer and Civil War veteran was also the guiding force behind the fortifications installed at the south end of San Juan Island, at American Camp, during a tour of duty in the island’s 12-year joint-occupation, aka the Pig War. The historical spotlight will shine on Robert in a potluckslash-educational program, Thursday, March 21, sponsored

by San Juan Island Grange No. 966.

The potluck begins at 6 p.m., at the Grange Hall in Friday Harbor, followed by the program.

San Juan Island National Historical Park’s Mike Vouri, chief interpreter and historian of San Juan Island National Historical Park, will present a brief biography, including Robert’s Contributed photo role in construction of the Redoubt.

Former high school principal and Henry Martyn Robert educator Ralph Hahn will lead a discussion of Robert’s Rules of Order and their relevance today.

Hahn is past president of the economic development council, and is a member of the public school district’s and the park and recreation district’s boards of directors. For info, 3786632, or http://sjigrange.wordpress.com/

At halfway mark, Lawson leads Wilson Derby With five weeks down and only four left to go, San Juan Island fisherman Jim Lawson reeled in a 14.79 pounder to snare the Frank Wilson Memorial Fishing Derby’s weekly $50 prize and to grab the top spot on the leader board of the annual 10-week long local winter fishing extravaganza.

Only one pound separates Lawson from Karen Rhinehart, situated in second place with 13.78-pounder. Rustie Mager sits in third place with a 13.07 pounder and Shaw Island fishing veteran Pete Nelsen, winner of this year’s Roche Harbor Derby, remains in the fourth spot, with a 12.71 pound salmon..

Founded as a tribute to former San Juan Island EMS Chief Frank Wilson, the derby is a fundraiser for the island’s Emergency Medical Services, and all derby proceeds benefit SJI EMS. Prizes are awarded for the biggest fish of the week. Grand prizes await those with the three largest fish during the derby’s 10-week run. The grand prizes are:1st Place — $1,000, 2nd Place — $500, 3rd Place — $250

Islanders’ Choice…

Fellow Islanders, on April 23 we all need to make a choice. Your vote will determine the social, economic and political threads, which will weave the fabric of our future Island life. The six candidates have indicated how they will govern by either clearly stating their beliefs in writing or by past actions. The candidates’ respective beliefs suggest two very different outcomes:

Do you want a County Council that…

Or…

• Trusts its fellow Islanders

• Controls Islanders

• Listens to the local constituency

• Listens to off island central planners

• Treats Islanders as humans

• Treats Islanders as statistics

• Respects individual privacy

• Wants more surveillance to protect the “common good”

• Is transparent to its citizens

• Hides behind a myriad of committees

• Supports local business

• Stifles business with bureaucracy

• Supports the Islands before all other interests

• Favors off island agendas first and foremost

• Is fiscally responsible

• Generates continual budget overruns

• Uses peer reviewed science to create effective environmental laws

• Uses a fear based precautionary approach that is not supported by science

• Is non-partisan

• Has a partisan agenda

• Believes Islanders can and do protect the environment

• Does not trust Islanders to protect the island environment that we love

• Considers Islanders to be part of a balanced ecosystem

• Believes that humans are “un-natural” and “toxic” to nature

• Encourages Islanders to trust and support each other

• Encourages Islanders to report their neighbors
