Council Candidates Q&A Dist. 2 By Sounder Staff
This is part two of a three-part series of Q&A segments with county council candidates running in the April 23 election. The revamped three-person council, and the upcoming elections, are the result of revisions to the county charter proposed in 2012 by the Charter Revision Commission and approved by the voters in November. The revisions returned the council to three members elected countywide from “residency districts” comprising San Juan, Orcas and Lopez and their respective nearby smaller islands. Lisa Byers and Rick Hughes are running for the Orcas Island District 2 position. Byers is the director of OPAL Community Land Trust on Orcas. In November, Hughes was elected to councilman position 4, Orcas West. He is also the owner of Ray’s Pharmacy in Eastsound.
Lisa Byers
Sounder: What do you bring to the table that is different from the other candidates and why did you decide to run?
LB: My career has been to serve my community through public service. I have successfully managed a complex nonprofit business that develops real estate for affordable housing. I have used a combination of private and public funds to achieve a public purpose, and I have worked with volunteers as well as paid staff to get the job done. This is similar to the county in many ways. Much of the county council’s work relates to adopting regulations related to land use. I have obtained five land-use permits for sub-dividing properties, and overseen projects that required more than 100 building permits. I understand the frustrations of the permitting process, and I have the experience to help make it better. I have many skills that are the right match for the county council. I have been a frugal manager of budgets – maintaining an organization with less than 6 percent in administration and fundraising expenses during good times and bad. I am a creative and thoughtful decision-maker – gathering the information necessary to make
investments and take calculated risks that have succeeded time and again. And I am a leader who gets the job done – I have repeatedly been elected to serve as the chairwoman or president of volunteer organizations. Sounder: How do you plan to balance the county budget? Do you support renewal of Prop. 1, the voterapproved property tax increase that expires at the end of 2015? LB: It is too soon to make a determination about the renewal of the Proposition 1 property tax increase that was approved in Nov. 2009 by 57 percent of the voters for the period from Jan. 2010 – Dec. 2015. The services supported by that tax increase are important. The tax funds a portion of senior services, the fair, county parks, extension programs, public health, the sheriff and the prosecutor’s office. However, the tax increase was necessary, in part, because of a loss of revenues from other areas. As the economy recovers, it is posSee Q & A, Page 4
Lopez islanders Asha Lela and Tom Reeve joined Sen. Maria Cantwell at the White House on Monday, March 25, to witness President Obama’s designation of a National Monument in the San Juan Islands. Reeve and Lela, both longtime conservationists and environmentalists, were two of many islanders who since 1989 have sought formal protection of many locations in San Juan County. Sally Reeve, also active in the group, told the Journal, “We all worked so hard for this and we’re all happy that the President took this very positive step for our region.” Second Congressional District Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Everett) and U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Seattle) announced March 21 that more than 1,000 acres on dozens of the San Juan islands would be designated as National Conservation Lands by President Obama. Both legislators lauded the efforts of San Juan County residents to convince the President to protect land on San Juan, Lopez, Orcas and nearly seventy smaller islands, reefs and rocks - including lighthouses on Patos, Stuart and San Juan islands. “San Juan islanders have been shouting from the rooftops for years: protect these lands. Well, the President heard our message loud and clear,” Larsen said. The Reeves and a dozen other islanders formed and led Islanders for the San Juan Islands National

Monument to advocate for the project, and several of them in 2012 accompanied San Juan County Councilman Jamie Stevens to Washington, DC, to advance the cause. Supporters urged the President to designate the lands as a National Monument after legislation introduced earlier by Cantwell and Larsen, which would have created similar protection as a National Conservation Area, stalled in Congress.

“San Juan islanders have been shouting from the rooftops for years: protect these lands. Well, the President heard our message loud and clear,.”

In an interview on March 22 with the Journal, Cantwell also praised the perseverance of county residents and recalled telling islanders at the San Juan County fair last year, “I’ve done everything but tattoo a sign on my forehead to get the President to approve” the National Monument. She also commended outgoing Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar for “twice visiting the area and listening to local residents” supporting the designation, and commented on the “two-track strategy” she and Rep. Larsen employed to achieve “this great result for San Juan islanders and all Washingtonians.” (See accompanying story.) Cantwell’s tattoo statement led local supporters to ask local tattoo artist Marcus Justiss to create a transfer tattoo that was sent to he Senator’s Washington, D.C., office. Justiss, whose shop is at Surina Business Park in Friday Harbor, said, “I’m very, very happy to help get this great result for the San Juan Islands.” Justiss said he intends to visit Patos Island, depicted on the tattoo, “this summer.” Sally Reeve reported Tom Reeve took a copy of the tattoo to the White House for

the President to sign. Although most of the designated land is located in San Juan County, Chuckanut Rock in Whatcom County and several reefs and rocks on and near Lummi Island are included in the National Monument, as are the Reservation Bay Rocks in Skagit County. The designation as National Conservation Lands under the Antiquities Act of 1906 means that the 1000 acres in the San Juans joins 103 other parcels of public land as National Monuments. Although there are millions of acres of National Conservation Lands, National Monument status is “much more significant,” according to Meghan Kissell of the Conservation Lands Foundation. The lands will coners and operators of heavy machinery and other land use professionals. A land-use consultant and professionals from the state Department of Ecology, San Juan Islands Conservation District, Friends of the San Juans, and San Juan County will cover regulations, permitting and best practices for shorelines and stormwater, including erosion control and low impact development. This free training is presented by Friends and the Puget Sound Partnership. It

Cantwell said she had been assured by Salazar that BLM officials would work with local county officials and citizens to devise a comprehensive conservation plan for the new National Monument. Other conserved land designated by former presidents as National Monuments include the iconic Devil’s Tower in Wyoming, the first National Monument designated in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt and known to a generation of Americans as the extraterrestrial landing site in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Other monuments include the Mt.

Join us at The Bluff for NEW Spring dinner and happy hour menus, starting April 3, 2013.
LB: I am most proud of successfully navigating the current recession. OPAL Community Land Trust provides permanently affordable housing on Orcas. When the recession hit in 2009, we had completed construction of the first phase (18 homes), of a 32-home neighborhood, but did not yet have all the funding in place for the second phase. We had families ready to purchase most of the 14 homes, and a construction crew of 10 full-time workers who needed the work. I led the board of trustees through a thoughtful, thorough and inclusive process that resulted in taking on substantial debt in order to finish the project. We kept 10 people employed through the worst part of the recession. We sold all 14 homes. And by the end of 2012 we had funds in hand to pay off the debt. In addition, late in 2010, the owner of an 1100 square foot house asked if OPAL would move their house, so they would not have to demolish it. The challenge? It had to be moved within two months and we had never moved a building before. We dove in, figured it out, and moved the building. That spawned a new approach to achieving OPAL’s mission. In April, OPAL will move its fifth house.

LB: The biggest issue facing many county residents is the viability of the economy and the community. “How do I continue to live here? Will my kids be able to live here? What will happen to my business? Will I be able to get the services I need to stay here?” There are many ingredients necessary to tackle this problem. We must diversify and strengthen our local economy. The council needs to work with representatives of all local business sectors to reduce barriers to their success, and to promote opportunities, such as local co-ops and OPALCO’s efforts to bring broadband to the county. We need to support businesses by zoning adequately so that they may have space to grow. We must insure that farmers are able to work the land and that producers of all products made in the islands are able to get their goods to market-both locally and on the mainland.We must continue to provide affordable housing, and to support and promote our schools. If young people can find work and housing, they will raise their children here, and we need a diversity of ages to remain a healthy place. Sounder: What accomplishment are you most proud of as director of OPAL?

Sounder: What have you learned during this campaign? LB: I have learned that many people do not know what the council does or what county government does. I have learned that people have lost trust in the county’s decisionmaking process. I have learned that there appear to be deep divides about land use, and yet people from all perspectives share a common commitment to care for this place and this community. I have learned that people are looking for strong leadership that is inclusive and respectful of their time and ideas. I have known, but have also gained a deeper understanding of the wide range of lifestyles lived in the islands. I have heard time and again how much people value that diversity, and do not want to lose it. On every island I have met creative, dedicated people who want these islands to thrive. I have learned that the answers to our problems will come from listening to and productively engaging county residents. Time and again we have figured out how to do hard and extraordinary things that serve as models for other communities. I am running for council, because I want to help lead the county to tap into the creativity of our residents and to work together for long-term solutions.
Rick Hughes
Sounder: What do you bring to the table that is different from the other candidates and why did you decide to run? RH: My roots in these islands go three generations deep. In many ways, who I am and how I see the community is grounded here in this county. Not only have I seen what works and what doesn’t in local government, I understand why it did or did not work. I run a small business in Eastsound, but also one of vital importance to my neighbors. We depend on each other. I know how to efficiently run an organization. I’m also a concerned citizen; I’ve witnessed and been a part of people working together to solve problems such as the countywide drug take-back program. My experience, initiative and judgment can effectively make a difference. As a current county council member I have been fair, honest and transparent, I’ve worked for better communications and interactions between county employees (I have been actively trying to meet each and every one of them) and their fellow citizens of the county. And I’ve worked to have county government be more responsive to the public. Sounder: How do you plan to balance the county budget? Do you support renewal of Prop. 1, the voter-approved property tax increase that expires at the end of 2015? RH: As a current member of the council, I am trying to insure we continue on the fiscal progress we’ve seen for 2012 and begun in 2013. I will continue to look closely at costs, but just as closely, I will continue to evaluate opportunities, because one reasonable opportunity lost could mean several jobs to our community and corresponding revenues to the county. I can make the hard choices. In my career I’ve made some very difficult decisions based on economic conditions. But I know that smart people working together can create conditions ripe for economic growth by encouraging new ideas, development of new companies and an influx of existing ones. In general, I am not in favor of any supplemental taxation unless other avenues have been explored and applied. Regarding Prop.1: This is a hypothecated tax where the proceeds can only be used for eleven specific purposes. A thorough evaluation of those 11 programs must be conducted showing current status and projected status with this tax continuing, with it expiring or with a new program in place that falls somewhere below the current $0.12 per $1,000 of assessed value.

Council to mull CAO startup delay CDPD staff ready to go, but council to consider December startup date By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
If you’re afraid the new Critical Areas Ordinances will make that sweet lot of yours more difficult to develop, you may want the County Council to extend the CAO effective date from May 1 to Dec. 1. Or maybe not. The Council will consider another delay of the CAO implementation date at an April 9 public hearing, but, as with most stories in government or politics, there’s two sides to this one. The March 12 council meeting included discussion of CAO implementation with Planning Coordinator Shireene Hale, who summarized the preparations for implementing the new land-use regulations and presented the council with some of the written materials prepared for the public. Hale told the council that Community Development and Planning Department was holding informational and planning meetings with interested parties and was prepared to implement the ordinances on May 1. Councilwoman Patty Miller took a similar tack before making a motion that the council should have a public hearing on April 9 to consider delaying the effective date. “We are encouraged to report that many aspects of the implementation are well underway and the staff is developing a variety of tools and resources for property owners to
Q & A: Continued from page 1 Sounder: What is the single most critical issue facing county residents? RH: There are several critical issues, many of which are interdependent. However, the single most critical issue is economic development, or in a single word, jobs. The recession that began in 2007 has shown that an economy like ours, based primarily on tourism, construction and real estate is hit hard with any prolonged economic downturn and it takes that much longer to recover. We need local jobs that people can live on; jobs for farmers, jobs for carpenters and tradesmen, jobs for skilled professionals and retailers and entrepreneurs. We need to ensure that our limited finances remain here in the county. In essence, we need a multi-dimensional economic system that can provide a framework from which we can sustain our traditional industries of tourism, construction and real estate. I see my role as council member to help redesign county government with a customer service focus that assists local businesses thrive by making it easy to work with agencies and by constructing clear regulations where needed. Sounder: What have you been able to accomplish in your short time on the council? RH: I feel that we have been working very hard over the last few months to maintain county government in an interesting transitional period. The council has successfully implemented CRC Prop. 2 and 3,
use in making decisions on developing and managing their property,” Miller said. Commenting after the meeting, Hale said that keeping the May 1 effective date would allow CDPD staff to “identify and work on the bugs” in the ordinances under “actual operating conditions”, and before the Growth Management Hearings Board issues its decision on CAO appeals in September. “We may have to make adjustments to the ordinances as a result of the hearings board decision,” she said, “and working with the ordinances over the summer would allow us to identify issues that need to be addressed so that we can deal with those issues at the same time we deal with issues identified by the growth board decision.” Hale also noted that the “site-specific approach” and other features of the CAO would “give more flexibility” than current regulations so that, “depending on the situation,” some applications for permits might receive better treatment under the new regulations than under the present ones. One example: under the new law, “site evaluations for sites downhill from wetlands might be less expensive” than under the present law. Another change made more favorable to owners by the CAO would allow permits for rebuilds to be issued after 75 percent or more of a residence is destroyed by fire; current regulations may not permit rebuilding. And, according to CDPD, “existing, legally established structures, uses and activities may continue in perpetuity and are considered to conform with the new critical area requirements.” Hale also said that changes mandated by the Hearings Board “are likely to take six months or more,” and thus would not be completed by a December effective date for the ordinances.
we have set the groundwork for a timely hiring process for the new county manager and executed a successful Community Conversation dialog on San Juan, Orcas, Lopez and Shaw. We have worked hard to provide representation to all county boards, established a docket for much needed updates to the Comprehensive plan for the Economic Development and Transportation elements, began a process to evaluate and simplify county code, process and fee structure. Personally, I have made an attempt to meet with as many departments and staffers as possible, so I can better understand the needs of staff and how each aspect of county government works first hand.

Sounder: What have you learned throughout this eight-month campaign process? RH: The eight-month-plus campaign process has afforded me the opportunity to meet amazing people, see each of the other islands from a different perspective and to better appreciate two sides of an issue. Throughout this process, I’ve seen the divisions within the county, yet I’m hopeful. I’ve heard the angry words, yet I’m hopeful, I’ve seen families struggling to get by, and even then I’m hopeful. Because this long, long campaign season has shown me time and again the spirit of neighbor helping neighbor, of our county’s remarkable sense of belonging and sense of family. And from this sense of neighbors and belonging, we can close the divisions, soften the words and ease the struggle. Am I looking forward to the campaign to end? Indeed I am. Because I’m looking forward to hard work just beginning.

Opinion Letters to the Editor
Bigger not better on Blair Avenue
Can someone please tell me why it is going to be a benefit to the residents of Friday Harbor that Blair Avenue (between Guard St. and Park St.) gets torn up and the existing 5-foot sidewalk on the east side of Blair Ave. remade into a 6-foot sidewalk? It’s a fact that Blair Ave. is one of the most used roads by not only cars but the huge excavation etc. trucks. Is it really practical to narrow Blair Ave? With 6-foot sidewalks the pick-ups, SUVs and cars will stick way out into the street. The $120,000 needed to complete this so-called improvement is supposed to be contributed by the town (our tax money), the San Juan School District (I’m sure there are other things they need more than a 6-foot sidewalk that is across the street from the school, and partially already has a fine 5-foot sidewalk) and from a private developer (Gene Gearhart Construction), who is building the new “Printonyx” building. This street and sidewalk improvement seems to be one man’s dream and other men’s nightmare. Email the mayor (carrielacher@fridayharbor.org) and let your voice be heard on what improvements are really necessary and how our tax money is spent.

Hopeful our trails aren’t trampled
I read the counterpoint letter by Ms. Nash-Bevens, “Counterpoint: bridging the divide”, March 13, pg. 7, with interest and delight. Interest, in that, though Ms. Nash-Bevens attended the National Park Services meeting, she does not recollect the discussion of the Young Hill trail being used by horses, with a proposed hitching post near the summit, where the trail becomes bare rock. Delight when she wrote that the trail on the backside of Young Hill was no longer a proposed trail for horse use. I would hope she got her information from the Park Service. I hope the maintenance of the trails will be as easy and effective as she proposes and that these trails will not be degraded by horses, so that they may be enjoyed by hikers, walkers, bike riders and horseback riders for generations to come.

Freedom fueled by trust, not fear
Friends have asked, “who is Trust Islanders!” A more relevant question is “Why Trust Islanders!”, as the answer is more revealing. Trust Islanders! believes that: Trust creates a much more interesting and expansive place to live than the one created by fear. Trust allows the human spirit to unfold in playful and creative ways, while fear smothers the creative spark and leads the individual (and community) into a very small box in which to reside. Fear never runs out of preventative solutions as it

always sees the next crisis just around the corner. Fear always looks outside (off island) for guidance, while trust looks within for solutions. Fear always sees a problem before one exists, whereas trust creates an opening for creativity that is ready if a problem appears. Fear seeks controls, whereas trust allows for personal liberties. Fear leads a community into darkness and depression, while trust creates an opening for light to enter. Fear causes people to gather into mental herds, whereas trust values the individual qualities of each human being and encourages their thoughts to expand freely. Fear sees lack, while trust creates bounty. Throughout history, many societies have allowed themselves to be controlled by fear. If we allow fear to prevail, we put at risk the spirit which creates the “charm” within our island community. The County Council

Understands ‘Ag’; Pratt in Dist. 1
I attended a meeting with the candidates for County Council at the Ag Summit this weekend (March 16) at the Friday Harbor Middle School. Each of the candidates was asked to speak about agriculture in San Juan County and answer questions from the crowd. In contrast to her opponent, Lovel Pratt’s knowledge and experience stood out, marked by her clear understanding of the role that agriculture plays in our local economy, her extensive knowledge of county

Bon appetit
Interwoven: economy, quality of life
W
ho doesn’t like to go out for a bite to eat every once and awhile? We certainly do. One reason is because San Juan Island is home to a tremendous number of quality restaurants and diners. Another is that by satisfying one’s appetite at any one of those establishments you don’t have to cook or do the dishes — big bonus. Still, the above is only an afterthought, in part, when it comes to “Dining for Scholars”, the yearly fundraiser in which participating restaurants donate a portion of their proceeds to the local chapter of Dollars for Scholars’ scholarship fund. On Thursday, March 28 — that’s tomorrow — you can help support the island’s high school graduates and further the mission of Dollars for Scholars by dining out at any one of the 20 restaurants participating in this year’s event, which, bear in mind, is taking place on just one day only. (See the Journal’s March 20 edition, pg. 12, for a list of participating restaurants; breakfast, lunch and dinner options are all available). It’s difficult to imagine a better win-win than the Dollars for Scholars program. Students can earn up to $1,000 in scholarship money by completing 80 hours of community service by the time they graduate, and can get started as early as 8th grade. That scholarship money is routinely matched by most colleges or universities that a student might attend. In its 12-year history, Dollars for Scholars has awarded $150,000 in scholarships. A bit of help from you can help ensure future graduates will have the same opportunity. So, bon appetit, and we’ll see you Thursday.

She is a parent who has successfully raised children in our community. We are incredibly fortunate that Lisa is willing to apply her formidable capabilities, honed by education and experience, to addressing the challenges of governing our frequently fractious communities. I have watched her interactions with people, in groups and as individuals, and have observed that she treats others with dignity and has a particular talent for identifying common goals and practical means to reach them. Lisa is an independent thinker, beholden to no on or off-island interest group.
I do not know precisely what positions she will take on the future issues and crises that will confront her as a council member, but I know her actions will be thoughtful, informed and in the best interests of our citizens. Susan Dehlendorf San Juan Island

ur county economy: part of the fabric of our lives. How the economy performs affects our own lifestyle and the funding for public services. Availability of the public services we want affects our quality of life. Our desires for quality of life affect the priorities we set for our governments, and those priorities affect the economy. What are the five key attributes about our economy that we should remember? No. 1: Our county population is continuing to grow at a rate of about 1 percent per year. We are an older population than other counties in the state; our median age in San Juan County is 53 (second highest in the state); 50 percent of our population is age 53 or higher. The state median age is 35. Since the 1980s, most of the growth has been in the over-50 age group; forecasted growth is also in the over-50 age group. No. 2: Private business appears to be growing, reaching the pre-recession levels of 2006. The county’s combined gross business income (GBI) across all sectors is $527 million. Our four largest “sectors” in 2011 are the same as they were in 1994: retail trade, construction, professional & technical services, and accommodations/dining. They represent 71percent of the county’s combined GBI. While the four sectors are the same, the professional & technical services sector grew significantly and moved up to third in 2011 from fourth in 1994. While not a defined “sector”, tourism contributes to, and is supported by sectors that include retail trade, construction, accommodations/ dining, arts/entertainment/ recreation, professional & technical services, and agriculture. One indicator of tourism, hotel/motel tax receipts, shows 2012 levels above previous years. No. 3: The real estate market is turning around. Home several essential community organizations, including the Lopez Family Resource Center, Port Commission and Lopez Community Land Trust. He is currently on the Legislative Steering Committee of the Washington Association of Counties.

sales in 2012 were at twice the level of home sales in 2011. No. 4: Two indicators of income are quite different for our county. “Personal income per capita”, which includes wages as well as investment income, dividends, and other passive income, is second highest in the state. Passive income is likely realized Contributed photo by older residents. Average annuJim Hooper al wages for employed persons in the county, in contrast, are among the lowest in the state. No. 5: Most of the jobs in our county are in the top four private sectors, identified above. Those four sectors represent about 42 percent of the wages earned in the county, and by inference, numbers of jobs. About 24 percent of the wages earned in the county, are in the public services sector, which includes schools, state and national parks, customs, and local government. Whether we will have the infrastructure that future visitors and residents will need, such as ferry transportation and broadband, is a big question. What will our economic future look like and how can we shape it? Those are the questions San Juan County residents are invited to discuss in the three sessions of the Community Conversation to be held during the first week in April. Please plan to attend and share your thoughts on the future of our economy. — Editor’s note: Jim Hooper, president of the San Juan County Economic Development Council board of directors, has been a county resident for eight year.

Continued from page 7 Island Farmer’s Market board. Most of the board is made up of farmers and crafters who vend at the market. Rick is the exception. Over these years he has given his time generously and been a significant asset to the our market, though he has always had the least to gain from it. His insight as a business person has always been greatly appreciated. His loyal support of local agriculture and small island-based cottage busi-
nesses has been unflagging. He both has an opinion to share and a willingness to work with and learn from others. As a potential representative of all of us, I feel great confidence in him. Rick has the unique experience of someone who has worked in business outside the islands, owned a business within them, as well as having loyally served on local boards, such as the Eastsound Planning and Review Committee, the San Juan County Ag Guild and the Orcas Farmer’s Market. I believe he both understands what makes the islands special and what it
takes for people to try to make a living here. This is an extremely important balance to get right. If my experience working with Rick is any indication of the kind of person he is, I can attest that he will work hard for everyone’s interest on all of the islands, just as he has done for many years for the local farmers, crafters, food vendors and small businesses of Orcas.

tion of the candidates is not printed on the ballot. That’s all that our county charter and state law requires. It does not prohibit candidates in non-partisan races from soliciting the endorsement of a political party, nor prohibits parties from endorsing candidates in such races. In fact, party endorsements in non-partisan races frequently appear in the official Washington state voter guide. It is also important to emphasize that the following organizations have recently endorsed candidates in non-partisan elections in Washington state: the San Juan County Republican Party (recommended, i.e. endorsed, Richard Sanders for Supreme Court) and the Washington State Republican Party (Richard Sanders for Supreme Court). Democrats have also endorsed candidates in
non-partisan elections. I doubt these critics are unfamiliar with the principle of freedom of speech enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. But they are probably unfamiliar with the recent successful challenge by the Republican Party of Sanders County, Mont., against the existing state law banning political parties from endorsing candidates in “non-partisan elections” for judicial positions. In its ruling in November 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th District ruled in favor of this challenge, with its principal argument being that the ban was unconstitutional. It is telling that the four judges did not follow the party designation of the President who appointed them. So why are these critics crying foul? It’s obvious they See LETTERS, Page 9

Continued from page 8 are simply playing politics in the good old American tradition that has worked so well for 237 years. Bottom line is that our local politics are not divisive because of partisan involvement. They’re divisive because the issues are tough, the stakes are high, and some people have taken intractable positions on those issues. Removing party politics from the local scene will not ease that divisiveness in the least. David Dehlendorf San Juan Island
’Non-partisan’? Give me a break
Have you noticed the nasty political attacks coming from blogs on the right? Now there’s a Political Action Committee. Their ad states that they are “nonpartisan.” Yet the PAC was first announced on the SJC Republican website. Who is funding this new Republican-supported “Trust Islanders?” This PAC doesn’t appear to be listed yet with the Public Disclosure Commission. But, the Republican Party’s site makes it clear that this PAC is devoted to raising money and spending big bucks to make sure the three candidates not endorsed by the Democrats win this race. How is this not a Republican endorsement? How is this non-partisan? Meanwhile, the letters to the editors and the bloggers just keep on telling us how we’re all supposed to keep quiet and be good little nonpartisan candidates and voters. The county’s prosecuting attorney has repeatedly stated the charter only mandates the election itself be non-partisan. Meanwhile, the candidates are free to be endorsed. The parties (and anyone else) are free to give their endorsements. It’s called free speech. That’s how it works in all the other charter counties in Washington state that have non-partisan elections. So please quit the posturing and just drop the fig leaf already. Howie Rosenfeld Friday Harbor

he Chamber is often the first contact for anyone interested in San Juan Island, whether it is for visiting, relocating or business related questions. And San Juan Island is fortunate to have the chamber’s Visitor Information Center open seven days per week throughout the year, staffed by both chamber employees and our wonderful volunteers. Approximately 17,000 people pass through the Visitor Information Center each year, where questions are answered, suggested routes around the island are discussed, and referrals are given to chamber Member Businesses.

Howie, you seem to exhibit a common myopic tendency to assume that those critical of your policies are all a bunch of Republicans. We’re not. I voted for President Obama twice. I’m a strong advocate of women’s abortion rights, gay marriage, legalizing pot (you get the picture). I am proud of my pesticide free veggie garden and my extremely fuel efficient imported small car (though I admit it doesn’t boast the ubiquitous blue peace sticker). Howie, a few years ago you and Lovel Pratt had my support. But that has gradually eroded, culminating with the critical areas ordinance debacle.

Junior Otis CooperWest earned all-league honors, as well, as a second team selection.

aster and the Full Moon: Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth, of bunnies and eggs and lambs and Easter. Easter, perhaps the most holy day of the Christian calendar, was defined by an early Roman Catholic Church council as the first Sunday after the full moon, after the first day of Spring, March 20. So, Easter comes early this year, and it’s time to start dreaming of marshmallow chicks and chocolate rabbits. Bunnies and flower-colored eggs will again be in evidence throughout the San Juan Islands as the legend of bunnies delivering eggs (and candy!) to children once again reminds us all of spring-time renewal, of budding trees and flowers, and of summer on the way. As in the past, there will be Easter-egg hunts at Jackson’s Beach (remember to bring an item or two of canned food for Friday Harbor Food Bank), and at Roche Harbor, and egg-painting at the Friday Harbor Fire Station and at Roche Harbor as well. Check out the details below. And here’s a tip to remember, boys: your little league batting average will suffer if you bite the ears off your sister’s chocolate rabbit.

Daniel Mays, right, and Erik Gratton, left, star in Island Stage Left’s production of “A Number” by playwright Caryl Churchill.
Machin-Smith thinks a line from German “storm and stress” poet/playwright Friedrich Schiller gives insight into the drama: “It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons.” “A Number” will, as always, be presented free (donations accepted) by Island Stage Left at the San Juan County Fairground from March 21 to April 21. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday at 4 p.m. — Steve Wehrly
Seattle saxophonist leads band benefit The name of the show seems traditional enough. Yet the lineup that’s set to take the stage at San Juan Community Theatre is anything but. Standout saxophonist Steve Treseler of Seattle will no doubt be the marquee performer at a benefit performance for Friday Harbor’s Band Families and Friends, entitled “Jazzin’ it up in Friday Harbor”, Friday, beginning at 7 p.m. But Treseler will have plenty of help in banging out those ‘ol jazz standards from some of the island’s finest, and freshest, musicians. Joining Treseler on stage for the evening’s jazzy fundraiser will be Friday Harbor’s own One More Time Band, and the Friday Harbor High School Jazz Band, under the direction of Matt Frost. Tickets are $15 for adults, and $5 for student reserved. The Community Theatre box office is open TuesdaysFridays, 11 a.m to 4 p.m., and Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets can also be purchased online at www.sjctheatre. org.
The leader of the Steve Treseler Group, Treseler, who jazz.review.com calls “a bona fide player in the arena of straight-ahead jazz”, is also a member of the Jim Knapp Orchestra, the Wayne Horvit’s Washington Composers Orchestra, and the Seattle Minimalist Ensemble. In addition to being a noted rising star in the world of modern jazz, Treseler is a music teacher, and both the University of Idaho Contributed photo and Central Washington Seattle saxophonist Steve Treseler University are using his new textbook, The Living Jazz Tradition: A Creative Guide to Improvisation and Harmony, in their respective courses and classrooms.

Island Stage Left’s current production, “A Number” by British playwright Caryl Churchill, is quite different from previous offerings of the local company, according to cofounder and director Helen Machin-Smith. Not difficult for the audience to grasp, perhaps, but difficult to stage, since there are no stage directions and the dialogue has no punctuation. A Number, written in 2002, uses human cloning as a device to examine a parent’s communication with, love for, and alienation from his children. It has been called a psychological thriller, but may be more akin to something an avant garde playwright like Samuel Beckett might pen for Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone. The “hero” (“Salter,” played by Daniel Mays) has had a son cloned — more than once — after his wife’s suicide. Much of the play involves the interaction of the father with the original son and the first clone (both played by Erik Gratton). As the first three play out their unhappy parts, counterpoint is provided by a third cloned son (also played by Gratton) who lives an apparently happy, fulfilled life as a parent of three children.

A workshop one may ‘lichen’ a lot Former San Juan islander Clyde Curley tackles the always provocative “Who Dunnit?” genre with a debut murder-mystery novel that’s earning critical acclaim. Curley, a former English instructor, who, along with wife Susan, now resides in Bellingham, was awarded Honorable Mention in the category of general fiction for “Raggedy Man” at the 2013 Great Northwest Book Festival. He will be at Griffin Bay Bookstore April 6, at 7 p.m., to talk about the book. Set in familiar surroundings of Portland, Ore., the narrative unfolds on the heels of the mysterious death of an errant son of one of the city’s most prestigious families. It traces an investigation by a pair of detective’s, aided by one of the detectives bookstore-owning brother, as they try to unravel clues to the young man’s death and zero in on a varied list of suspects, including members of the man’s own family.
Elegant Edibles, ‘Eggsuisite’ event
Here’s you’re chance to hit a tasty trifecta without even going to the races. The annual fundraising event known as “Elegant Edibles”, sponsored by CATS (Community Arts Theatre Society) features a chance to bring home yummy holiday treats, win a year-long delivery of flowers to your home, and provide support for San Juan Community Theatre all at the same time. Activity at Elegant Edibles gets underway at the theatre at 9 a.m., and runs until noon. Featured items include dozens of homemade treats prepared by members of CATS, such as breads, coffee cakes, sauces, jellies and jams, an array of delectables served up just in time for an Easter brunch at home.
The wonderful world of lichens will be in the spotlight in a pair of back-to-back workshops on Lopez and San Juan islands, April 13 and April 14, respectively. Co-sponsored by San Juan Nature Institute and Bureau of Land Management, each daylong workshop, led by Fred Rhoades, features a field trip to gain firsthand familiarity with various local lichens (bring a brown bag lunch) and a pre-field trip classroom introduction to the subject. Fee for the workshop is $50, in addition to the cost of a recommended textbook, $15. Participants meet at the Friday Harbor Labs Lecture Theater for the San Juan workshop, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and at Lopez High School for the Lopez event, which includes a field trip to Pt. Colville.

Bow to humility; Francis at the helm New pope brings exemplary style to the world’s pulpits. It reminds me of when... By Howard Schonberger Journal columnist
I never thought I would be blown away by the winner of the pope’s election last week. But when I saw Francis coming out of that white-smoke filled room last week and got the word of his saintly manner, I was a celebrant. It’s not that I didn’t hold the Catholic church in high esteem. When I was a 12-year old carrier for the Omaha Bee News back in the early ‘30s, I was working for one of William Randolph Hearst’s newspapers. It was tough going up against the Omaha World Herald. Hearst was a tough boss and he expected his employes to make every sacrifice. For example, when the newness of the Bee wore off and new subscriptions became almost impossible to obtain, the Bee told carriers they were going to be getting one extra paper added to their subscriber-list draw each month and… “Sell it or eat it”. On weekday evenings, it wasn’t so bad, as I could sell

I had to deliver my route, about 20 square blocks, and the only traffic was St. Margaret Mary’s Parish, at early mass. I wasn’t about to lose 7 cents a copy (as Howard big paper with color comics and Schonberger the America Weekly cost 10 cents apiece). Columnist As soon as I finished my bike route, I headed for the church near my home on 49th street and did my best on the parishioners after they said farewell to the Father. It worked, at first. But a few weeks later, as my number of papers for sale increased, the Father came over and asked me to wait around after I finished selling my extras. He was from Ireland, and he asked me to come to his home across the street from the church for a cup of hot chocolate. It was summertime. I joined him in his garden.

Ledford returns
The search committee didn’t have far to look for a perfect fit. Richard Ledford was, as they say, chomping at the bit. “The easiest thing for me to do would have been to stay retired, I love it,” Ledford said. “But how often does a 70-year-old man get an opportunity to go back and complete his life’s calling?” Ledford began tour of duty No. 2 as leader of the Friday Harbor football program last week, accepting an offer that puts him back on the sidelines. He succeeds Darrin Scheffer, a former Ledford assistant, who stepped after six seasons at the helm. Principal Fred Woods said Ledford was selected from eight applicants and a list of four finalists. “Beside the fact that he was the best interview, No. 1 he’s a known quantity and was very successful, in the win-loss column and in working with kids,” Woods said. “And No. 2, he’s very passionate and knows what he wants to do.” This time around will be different, in that the coaching job does not come with a faculty position. That suits the “coach” even better. Ledford, who compiled a won-loss

I said I would try it, but couldn’t afford to lose that income.

dents we have in our school if you come into the sanctuary when you finish your route.” That was the beginning of a long friendship. Even though we played football against Father Flanagan’s Boystown and Creighton, we have always admired the history and legends of faith, art and sacrifice of the church, despite the fact that, like any institution, imperfections do occur. Now, Pope Francis is like a breath of fresh air. The fact that the cardinals chose someone from the fastest growing area of Catholicism, Latin America… and that he reveres Saint Francis of Assisi

as his papal role model… and then to learn that this Buenos Aires-born cardinal was riding a public bus to work each day, cooking his own meals, sporting a wooden cross as he was introduced to the deliriously worshipful crowd at the Vatican… Wow! It couldn’t have come at a better time. We congratulate the selection of this leader from our hemisphere. Isn’t it fine to have Saint Francis Parish as our Catholic church on San Juan Island, and I can just imagine how happy San Francisco’s faithful must be. — Go with the F.L.O.W.

posed Ordinance may then be adopted with or without modifications. All persons wishing to be heard on this matter are encouraged to attend. Written comments may be submitted in advance of the hearing by mail or at the hearing by delivery in person.

What’s it take to be recognized as a “Real Hero” by the American Red Cross? For Islanders Bank employees Lori Brown, Tony Fyrqvist and Cindy Mullis, it was saving a life. Brown, Fyrqvist and Mullis were among the many people honored by the Islands Chapter of the American Red Cross at its annual “Real Heroes” Breakfast, March 21, hosted by Swinomish Casino and Lodge. More than 250 people attended the breakfast, in which those who have demonstrated heroism through extraordinary courage and lifesaving skills are honored and celebrated. The Red Cross Islands chapter represents Fidalgo, Whidbey and the San Juan Islands. Brown, Fyrqvist and Mullis quickly teamed up and administrated CPR to bank officer Terry Clem after his heart stopped while he was at work at his desk a year ago in June. Clem’s life was saved because of the quick and effective response of his fellow employees, according to San Juan Emergency Medical Service responders, who arrived at the scene shortly after Clem collapsed, and by the doctor that later treated him. Roughly $16,000 was raised as part of the Real Heroes breakfast, an annual Red Cross fundraiser, and another $24,000 was donated by sponsors of the event. The $40,000 in donations will help support the Red Cross mission of
alleviating suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and, through the generosity of donors, according to the Islands Chapter’s Earlene Rothaughe. For more information about Red Cross Islands Chapter visit, www.redcross.org/wa/anacortes.
