Voters spared another election
Startup date of CAO delayed Confusion, lawsuits prompt pushback of startup date to 2014
By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
The County Council decided April 9 to postpone the startup date of the critical areas ordinances until March 1 of next year. The critical areas ordinance, approved by the council in December, was initially slated to go into effect on March 1 of this year. In February, the council extended that effective date until May 1. At its April 9 meeting, the council voted 5-to-1, with Councilman Jamie Stephens opposed, to push back that startup date until the spring of 2014. Stephanie Buffum, Executive Director of Friends of the San Juans, spoke in opposition to extending the effective date. “I’m shocked and amazed that we are having this conversation” after “we watched this process languish since 2005.” Council candidate Lisa Byers of Orcas Island suggested the planning staff should use any extra implementation time to “identify a few case studies evaluating the properties” under both the current law and the new law. Stephens, chairman of the council, said he was voting against the delay because “I thought December would be the better See Delayed Page 4

Monument memories
Passion for preservation earns two island teens 15-minutes of fame By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
Both received a personal invitation from official sources. And the event was close to the heart of each. But neither Graham Crawbuck or Reyna Ellis were quite sure of what to expect at the San Juan Island National Monument dedication ceremony last week in Anacortes. So when Congressman Rick Larsen gave up some time allotted to him at the April 1 celebration, and then ushered Reyna to the podium, it caught the Spring Street International School student a bit by surprise. Although the teen had no idea that she would be asked to speak before a rather large audience, and with television cameras rolling as well, Reyna clearly remembers that the
words came out easily. “I just said what I felt,” Reyna recalls. “But at that moment it was all kind of a blur, then I handed the microphone to Graham.” Reyna has since seen video of herself on Komo 4 News; here’s what she had to say: “I would just like to thank everybody who encouraged President Obama,” she said. “You know, I feel so privileged that I get to live on this – on these beautiful islands, and that this land will be saved and preserved for my children.” Graham conveyed a similar message when his turn came to address the crowd. Back home in Friday Harbor, he’s impressed by how many people from outside the San Juans attended the ceremony. He sees it as a testament to how much support there is for preserving the islands’ natural beauty and ecological health. “It’s really bigger than just our county,” Graham said of the monument boundaries. “There are parts in Skagit County and in Whatcom County too.” See Monument, Page 3

It looks like voters won’t have to decide whether to change the number of County Council members from three to five. At least not in 2013. Declaring themselves surprised by a negative reaction, councilmen Rich Peterson and Marc Forlenza on April 9 withdrew their proposal to increase the size of the council and a companion proposal to elect council members by district rather than countywide.

A place for victims in their time of need Crime Victims Center offers support, expertise when it matters most By Colleen Armstrong
Islands Sounder Publisher, Editor
When a crime is committed, the effects ripple outward and can touch many lives. Victims of crime experience numerous difficulties such as understanding the legal system, testifying in a courtroom and sorting through raw emotions. San Juan County has free resources to help navigate through these challenges. “It doesn’t matter if your crime is current or if you were a victim in the past and still have questions,” said Christine Miller, a victim advocate for the Crime Victim Service Center, which is run through the prosecutor’s office. “Sometimes people are witnesses to a pretty violent crime and they need support ... it’s not just always the spouse or the relative who is affected. Sometimes community members need help.” The center is funded by state and federal money from the Office of Crime Victims and the Department of Justice. It has been based out of Friday Harbor since 2006 but serves all county residents. “The prosecutor has done a stellar job in making sure that San Juan County has these services for victims,” Miller said. The crime center has a small staff, but is part of “Region 12,” which includes Skagit County and Bellingham and portions of Snohomish County. It offers services to crime victims and their non-offending
Monument: Continued from page 1
The two teens became the face of support for the national monument by the younger generation somewhat by chance. They were first interviewed by Komo News nearly a year ago after they and about 16 other Spring Street students attended a standingroom-only April meeting of the county council. At that meeting, in which Graham spoke out in favor of the designation, the council voted without dissent to send a letter urging the President to establish a national monument. On March 25, President Obama did just that. Using executive authority afforded under the 1906 Antiquities Act, he created the San Juan Islands National Monument, designating 1,000 acres of land administered by the Bureau of
Land Management as conservation lands. It was an alternative route to provide those lands, which consists of numerous parcels and an assortment of tiny islets, rocks and reefs, a greater, more permanent, level of protection from possible development. An earlier effort, led by Larsen and U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell, to have the lands designated as a National Conservation Area had met resistance in the House and was stalled. While support for the monument has earned them each their “15 minutes of fame,” Reyna and Graham say their attachment to the BLM lands began long before last year. Reyna has visited the lighthouse on San Juan Island’s Cattle Point on numerous occasions and carries great affection for Lopez Island’s Watmough Bay as well. “It’s really gorgeous,” she said of Watmough. And Graham has helped conduct field surveys for

family members, friends, secondary victims, and witnesses. Miller can lend guidance to victims whose cases are currently in court, give investigative interview support, help fill out protection and anti-harassment orders and provide medical advocacy for those who are injured as a result of crime and qualify for financial compensation from the state. “If the victim is also a witness, we make sure they are well cared for during the day of their testimony,” Miller said. “We give them a safe space … when a victim is going through a trial, it’s extremely stressful.” The center does not offer therapy, but refers clients to local resources like Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services, counselors and medical facilities. “We can open doors and ask questions and guide them in the right direction,” Miller said. The center handles victims of robbery, identity theft, assault, vehicular incidents, harassment and hate crimes. It also provides assistance for family members of homicide victims. Miller says the courts see a lot of mental health issues and more elder abuse and identity theft than most people realize. A common scam is someone posing as a grandchild in an emergency and in need of a wire transfer. “We want victims to feel that in our society today, there is support,” Miller said. “We will do our best to listen to you and do what we can to find a proper resource.” How to reach the Crime Victim Service center Christine Miller can be reached at 370-7610. The office is located on Second Street in Friday Harbor across from the courthouse. There is also a 24-hour crisis line for victims of crime: 1-800-346-7555.

The reasons for the delay as stated in the approved ordinance: some of the tools to assist property owners are not yet complete; staff time for implementation is limited because staff must address any CAO changes mandated by the Growth Management Hearings Board in its September, 2013, decision of the CAO appeals; and, the breadth and magnitude of those CAO appeals creates uncertainty regarding the future structure of the regulations. At the council hearing, Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord explained that because the ordinances had been duly passed, they were valid laws for Growth Management Act purposes and that extending the effective date would

not affect the validity of the CAOs. Leonard Bauer, managing director of Growth Management Services for Washington state, confirmed that changing the effective date of the CAOs was not that unusual and, unless the CAO was ruled invalid by the Growth Management Hearings Board, eligibility for grants and loans would not be affected. The validity of the CAOs and compliance with the Growth Management Act could be addressed by the Growth Board, which is presently considering a package of appeals filed against the CAOs by the Common Sense Alliance, Friends of the San Juans and others. The board is expected to issue a decision by September, and whether it will require the county to make corrections to the CAOs without invalidating them remains to be seen. If the GMHB decides that provisions of the CAOs violate GMA standards and regulations, the CAOs could be found invalid. Under present law, such a finding could expose the county to various penalties, two of which could involve withholding state funding for public works projects under the Public Works Assistance Account or for water pollution control facilities under Department of Ecology loans and grants. Withholding of such funds, however, has been rarely imposed and is considered unlikely. Meanwhile, a bill being considered by the state Legislature deals with this subject. Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1401, titled “An act relating to the timing of penalties under the growth management act,” removes most of the present penalty provisions for planning jurisdictions, such as San Juan County, who have completed required ordinances or regulations, whether or not the ordinances are being appealed or reviewed. The bill does retain penalties, however, if the Growth Board or a court makes a finding that the county’s CAOs are legally invalid, which is the case today under current law.

Council inks ‘aerial photos’ deal 3-year agreement calls for monetary investment by other local agencies By Steve Wehrly, Journal reporter
San Juan County is close to signing a contract for detailed aerial photographs of the county with Pictometry International of Rochester, N.Y. On March 12, the County Council approved a proposal by Information Services Manager Stan Matthews to negotiate a contract worth $139,951 with Pictometry for photographs and laser-generated “views” called LIDARs that are used by a variety of government and private agencies. According to Matthews, further negotiations with Pictometry brought the price down to $122,500, payable over three years, with the option for two additional sets of photographs at the same price over six additional years. Matthews said he discussed a potential contract for aerial photography services with another provider, Access Geographic of Tempe, Ariz., but has received no competing bids for the current project. The county’s Geographic Information System is a computer-based system of maps and data that is used by most of the county’s departments and agencies, including the assessor and departments of Community Development and Planning, Public Works, and Health and Community Services. The current budget for the GIS function in the county is about $270,000. Maps and data can be accessed at http://www.sanjuanco.com/gis/gislib.aspx. Matthews assured the County Council that the photography and accompanying computer technology are important

County Charter provided for six part-time council members, replacing the three fulltime county commissioners. In 2012, the Charter Review Commission proposed three charter amendments, the first of which changed the number of council members from six to three. In November, those three amendments were approved by about 55 percent of the voters, setting in motion the April 23 countywide election of three new council members from three “residency districts”, roughly corresponding to San Juan, Orcas and Lopez/Shaw islands. A council of five members is not a new idea for county politics, having been discussed widely in 2005 and in 2012 (and in between). Among other complaints, it was thought that a sixperson council would be dysfunctional because four votes would be needed to pass anything, including the county budget. Before withdrawing his proposals, Peterson repeated an earlier assertion that the council had authority to propose a council of five. “I thought when Mark and I started this, it was something that would be beneficial to do for the public,” he said. Before the current round of elections began, Peterson said he would not run for
the three-person council, believing islanders were better represented and better informed when each district voted only for their own representative on the council. Forlenza said he was shocked and troubled by the local response to the idea. “The feedback I’ve been getting has been rather vitriolic,” he said. “I have to emphasize from the bottom of my heart that the intent was to bring democracy in all its forms back to the people.” During earlier debate on the issue and at the April 9 hearing, several council members, Rick Hughes and council Chairman Jamie Stephens, expressed agreement with the idea of a fiveperson council in concept, but thought it should be accomplished by a citizen initiative rather than a council-proposed referendum. Because Prosecuting Attorney Randy Gaylord expressed uncertainty as to whether the 2012 charter amendments would permit either the council or the people to change district boundaries, the council passed a motion by councilwoman Patty Miller to consider another possible charter amendment on May 7, clarifying how the charter could be amended. At least for the foreseeable future, the three council members elected later this month will have the council chambers to themselves.
for county operations and that various departments and eight other non-government agencies need the photographs and other data and are willing to pay for them. In an explanatory memorandum to the council, Matthews said the cost of photographing the county five years ago was $160,000 - and the county did not get any of the “extras,” such as oblique photographs and LIDARs, that Pictometry would provide. One of those extras is air fare, hotel accommodations and conference registration for one person at an “advanced training user conference” — at an unspecified location. Another is “up to 200 square miles of disaster coverage imagery to be described in contract.” Matthews presented the plan to update and improve the county’s aerial photographic portfolio to the council March 12. In a 4-2 decision, the council, with Marc Florenza and Bob Jarman voting against, gave the plan its tentative approval, subject to outside agencies committing to onethird of the contract amount and subject to county cancellation of the deal “for any reason.” On April 3, Matthews said that various outside agencies (including the Port of Friday Harbor, the Land Bank, the Preservation Trust, OPALCO, and Roche Harbor Resort) have committed to their portions of the funding, so he is negotiating a final contract. Matthews says the contract can be signed by county Manager Bob Jean without further action or review by the council.

‘Jazzed ‘by Food Bank benefit
Classic jazz is alive and well on San Juan Island. If you doubt it, you should have been at the “Jazzed about the Food Bank“ concert on Sunday, April 7 at St. David’s Church. The San Juan Jazz Quintet, consisting of Rich Barker, saxophone; Thor Hanson, bass; Jonathan Piff, guitar; Rob Simpson, keyboard and Dennis Willows, drums, were joined by Hawk Arps of Lopez Island, vibraphone and Jill Urbach, vocals. The musicians donated their talent and time, and even the sales of their CD’s, as a benefit for the Friday Harbor Food Bank. Judging from the applause and standing ovations, the audience of over a hundred jazz lovers really appreciated the music. All donations went to the Food Bank and contributions totaled $2,829. Thanks are due especially to these generous musicians and also to the many volunteers who helped organize and promote the event Rev. Doug Simonsen, Rector St. David’s Church

You have given our grassroots organization great press, while at the same time your letter has become our poster-child for why TrustIslanders! was formed in the first place. Your ability to gather falsehoods into well rounded opinions and innuendoes truly amazes me. For those readers
The Journal of the San Juan Islands welcomes comment on issues of local interest. Letters to the editor must be no more than 350 words in length and must be signed by the writer. Include address and telephone number for verification purposes. Anonymous letters will not be published. Guest columns are proposed by the newspaper
who are more factual in nature, I suggest that you read the interview about TrustIslanders! on the home page of the Island Guardian www.islandguardian.com. I also suggest that you go to our website, www. Trustislanders.org and read our mission statement. TrustIslanders! has received tremendous support from the working people of the islands. Many do not have the resources to donate while others are reaching deeply into their pockets. Some donors with more resources are sending larger checks to help make up for those that are struggling. We are giving a voice to the majority of islanders who really are independent in their thinking and do not feel represented by any political party. Most have expressed a feeling of sadness as they watch the island way of life slip away.

tional rights of small businesses and citizens. To them, it is all about money, power, and control. Big money donations usually indicate which candidates are financially controlled. One look at the current PDC reports makes it clear who we should not elect. Legislation needs to be based on facts, not assumptions. The rush to sign a CAO document that was full of hand-written changes on the day of signing was wrong. The backroom Open Meetings Act violations were wrong. The lack of science in our hastily approved and divisive CAO were so wrong that both property rights groups and the Friends (Friends of the San Juans) oppose it. We need to vote for candidates willing to correct those flawed regulations. In my district, Bob Jarman, supports boots-on-the-ground conservation, over prohibition. Bob is less likely to be manipulated and more willing to find real solutions to identified problems.

My support for the candidate from San Juan Island for the County Council goes to Lovel Pratt.

Speaking as a marine engineer, and as a chief engineer during most of my 25 years in the U.S. Merchant Marine, I know the hazards that face us if the coal terminal project in Bellingham goes through.

Editorial
It’s up to you
There’s a good chance if you’re reading this that you’ve either already cast your ballot for the new county council or plan do so soon. Journal readers actively participate in the election process. The five pages of letters to the editor in this week’s edition are testament to that — as is the 80-plus percent turnouts by local voters although turnout for the February primary was only 53 percent. Now, take a few minutes to tell your friends and neighbors to be sure to vote. Several races will be close, perhaps decided by only a few votes. Your recommendations and their votes might be decisive. Let’s get the turnout up to our usual standards. Since you’re already in the voting mood, plan to vote in the upcoming OPALCO board elections. Like the council election, that election is countywide as well. The OPALCO election is especially important this year because the member-owned utility is deciding whether to roll out countywide broadband service - at a cost of $15 per month per household for infrastructure and perhaps $75 per month for internet and telephone service. While the board has taken several steps toward implementing the project, final decisions won’t be made until later this year. Three board members will be elected. You might want your choice to share your view on the broadband project.

Continued from page 6 the oil spill that is inevitable given the hugely increased shipping through these islands that is projected if the coal terminal project goes through. The issue of property rights is paramount when considering what a major oil spill would do to property values in the San Juan Islands. We’re worried about comparatively small and transient problems when we’re about to hit the iceberg. What is critical for this area is leadership in oil spill prevention, readiness, and response. While all the candidates say they are against the coal terminal project, only Lovel Pratt has the experience to lead us through this crisis. She has my vote. Jeff Brash San Juan Island
A quality combo; Hughes in Dist. 2
Here’s why I am voting for Rick Hughes for County Council: Management experi-
ence: Rick has many years of experience in the real world operation and management of both big business and small business. He will bring proven, dayto-day expertise on budgets, policies, legislation, personnel matters, and the many other issues brought to the County Council. Love for the Islands: His family has roots on Orcas Island since the 1940s. This life long experience has given Rick a deeply rooted sense of what it means to be an independent, neighbor-loving, and freedom-loving islander. He has eagerly contributed his time and talent to the Orcas Island community on the Eastsound Planning and Review Committee, the Farmers’ Market, the school’s Farm to Cafeteria program, the Orcas Seniors, the Food Bank, and the Board of Health. Personality: Rick has a wonderful, outgoing personality which will serve him well with county staff, visitors, and most of all, with his constituents. He is keenly aware of the imporSee LETTERS, Page 8

enjoyed reading Judge John Darrah’s guest column “Deconstructing the CAO Campaign,” April 3, pg. 7. It may help him understand the “Anti’s” if he had an inside look into the movement. I’ve been embedded in what I call the “Rural Resistance” for about 25 years. At times I’ve felt alone but now there are many of us. I’m certainly not the leader. This movement is made up of very independent folks who don’t follow orders very well. We do not receive grants like the (Friends of the San Juans) who are paid to lobby for more government author-

The Resistance pays for the occasional advertisement or public forum by the fruits of our own labor. Letters to the Editor are random but sincere.

freezer-burned Alaska buddy, Archie, called me the other day to grumble after a long winter and a bad case of cabin fever. I suggested a stronger happy light, changing out his long johns and tapering off the whiskey some. I admitted that I miss the hunting, testy wilderness adventures and entertaining “circle up and fire inward” dysfunction up there. Archie snorted that from what he reads on the web the San Juans don’t take a backseat to anywhere in terms of distortion of reality and denial of the lessons of history. The next day the cogent piece by Judge Darrah described how easily an election can be affected by the artful use of hyperbole. Nothing surprising there. However, some of the sincere but seriously misguided statements of Mr. Petersen’s response, (“Resistence grows due to heavy hand of CAO,” April 5, www.sanjuanjournal.com), trouble me. I am baffled by Mr. Petersen’s determined use of “pristine” to describe our county. He has made this term a linchpin in his argument. Websters defines the value-laden term; Pristine (adj.) 1. Remaining in a pure state; uncorrupted. 2. Of or typical of the earliest time or condition; primitive or original. Anyone with even a passing knowledge of the trainloads of scientific data on the Salish Sea region realizes that, as visually appealing and inspiring as these islands are, there is nothing pristine about them. Not by a long shot. The saltwater moat surrounding us has been seriously fouled and greatly diminished from its rich
and diverse original biotic condition as a result of human activities. We did it and we should try to fix what we can. We are all subject to our own biases based on life’s experiences. This “shifting baselines syndrome” is understandable and forgivable. Not so a blatant denial Journal file photo Steve Ulvi of reality and purposeful efforts to confuse.

Opinion/Letters the CAO in concept are liars. How is this useful? I roundly reject these accusatory, factchallenged statements, not the individuals who care enough to speak their minds. We would benefit from a more fact-based and varied civic debate given the unprecedented challenges we face. We do need more time for sorting out ramifications and crafting intelligent revisions to the CAO. It’s damned important. All sides sling opinions that are repeated like the misleading mantras they are. I just don’t get the frequent blurring of fact and fiction. I will vote for candidates who exhibit the smarts and humility to understand the need for reasonable restraints upon our selfish human interests that continue to cumulatively trash the public commons. I expect them to think creatively to transition us into a more diverse and sustainable economy. I hope for a reduction of layered government and the real, not imagined, increasing intrusions into our rights of privacy. The newest council will also have to endure efforts by monkey-wrenchers to derail hard won progress in recognizing our collective responsibilities to future generations and the natural world to which we remain inextricably linked. — Editors’s note: U.S. Parks Service retiree Steve Ulvi and his wife arrived on San Juan Island in 2007, following 33 years of “irresponsible” adventure in the Far North.

Resistance : Cont. from page 7 told that a great catastrophe is looming over the islands because our homes are too close to the shoreline and that our mere presence in nature is something to be loathed. If we don’t accept half-mile buffers for the Peregrine Falcon we must want them extinct. None of it is true. That’s why we are seeing a paradigm shift. Judge Darrah had his office in downtown Seattle, where Peregrine Falcons nest on top of buildings. Imagine a half-mile buffer being imposed in that densely populated area. Ridiculous? Then why does the CAO require it here? Where’s the common sense? The CAO cannot fix a problem that doesn’t exist in the first place. According to the science these islands are pristine. The biggest lie is trying to justify these CAO prohibitions on the premise that increased protections are desperately needed. The fact is that our existing laws have done the job nicely. The evidence is all around us. The division in our island society generally breaks down along the lines of authoritarianism versus libertarianism. It’s all about how people perceive the role of government in their lives. The authoritarians want to use the power of government to control the actions of the people, while the libertarians want to use the power of the people

Uniquely skilled; Byers in District 2
I am writing to urge support for Lisa Byers’s election to the County Council. We badly need intelligent, responsible, and well informed representatives to administer San Juan County, and under our newly adopted system of three countywide officials, each representative will have an especially powerful voice in decisions that affect us all. Lisa Byers is unusually well qualified for this task. As the executive director of OPAL, the Orcas community land trust, she has led an exceptionally successful effort to provide affordable housing on Orcas Island. Over the years of her leadership, OPAL has put 138 families in permanently affordable ownership homes and taken over operation of Lavender Hollow apartments, which provides affordable housing for an additional 22 families. Leading this effort has required Lisa to be intimately familiar with the public world of citizens’

to control government. The authoritarian nightmare has played out recently in an enforcement campaign. We have a situation now where neighbors turn in neighbors for building code violations. New regulations are used as tools to prosecute people in the most authoritarian manner. I’ve visited a lot of homes in the islands and every one of them has some violation subject to fines and possibly jail. Do we really want to treat our neighbors like criminals when they plant blueberries near a wetland, or sell organic foods from their farm stand? Many people have seen the authoritarian path that the CAO promoters want to take us down and have said, “Enough! We love nature but we don’t worship it.” That’s why the Resistance is growing. Don’t be surprised if the authoritarian candidates are defeated again in the next election. It’s not stealth. It’s not wealth. It’s about living free in this place we all love. — Editor’s note: Local columnist, entreprenuer and property rights advocate, Gordy Petersen is a former county council candidate and former chairman of the Charter Review Commission.
needs, real estate practices, the economics of affordable housing, and community planning. At the same time, she has guided OPAL’s operations, which include such diverse activities as raising funds from grants and gifts, dealing with federal and state housing officials, and identifying appropriate recipients for OPAL’s services. Lisa will bring to the council years of experience in our county, intelligence, and a habit of working hard. She will make an exceptional public servant. Karin Agosta San Juan Island

Experience counts. Prior to being elected to the county council two years ago, Jamie Stephens was a port commissioner, a substitute teacher at Lopez School, a board member of several local non-profits, including the Lopez Community Land Trust and Lopez Island Family Resource Center, and taught business classes to future entrepreneurs using his extensive business experiences. He has been a local community leader for all of the 17 years he and his family have lived on Lopez Island. Jamie brings a fresh and positive approach to the council and has been instrumental in resolving the county’s solid waste issues, developing innovative economic development opportunities and uses his
business background to control the county budget. He works to protect our communities’ environment and at the same time helps farmers find new ways to market their products. Jamie Stephens deserves to be reelected. Tom Cowan Lopez Island

Tireless, effective; Pratt in District 1
We citizens of San Juan County are indeed fortunate to have Lovel Pratt as a candidate for County Council in the April 23 election. Her 20 years of creative involvement in many aspects of community life have demonstrated her deep caring, both for the well-being of her fellow islanders — their housing, livelihoods, education etc. — and for the treasured environment which adds so much to Island life -– recreational, economic and educational opportunities, and just plain enjoyment of the natural world. Appropriately enough, since our county is an archipelago surrounded by state waters and Lovel has such a strong interest in protecting our marine environment, she has become involved in state issues related to marine waters. The Washington State Association of Counties appointed her to committees dealing with oil spills and vessel traffic risks. The knowledge she has gained and the connections she’s made are very valuable to our county and are one reason I’d like to see Lovel return to the County Council. During Lovel’s first term on the county council the proposal to establish the Gateway Pacific coal terminal came to light. Lovel immediately wrote a request to have the officials in charge of the Environmental
Impact Statement hold a scoping hearing in the San Juan Islands. The full council signed it, and the whole county community had an opportunity to vent its concerns about the potential damage to our health and environment to the officials. During the scoping period Lovel wrote voluminous scoping letters to ask probing questions about the potential effects of the shipment of coal through these waters. These were also signed by the full council. The outcome of all that effort is yet to be revealed. Whatever it may be, Lovel worked tirelessly to protect the interest of the county residents and the marine environment they care so much about. Let’s vote for Lovel and give her a chance to be as effective an advocate for San Juan County again. Louisa Nishitani San Juan Island
LETTERS council members who will ask questions when staff proposes new spending, and will refrain from placing on the sacrificial altar of threatened budget cuts the most important and appreciated county services, like senior services or 4-H, in an effort to persuade us to pass yet another levy lift. Last November, the voters in San Juan District 1 considered Ms. Pratt’s record and elected Bob Jarman to replace her. Bob Jarman has 30-plus years of experience living and working in the islands, knows first-hand what working families and small businesses require, and has been successful in “balancing checkbooks,” as it were, for several realworld enterprises. I am voting for Bob Jarman, and encourage you to join me in doing so. Peg Manning Orcas Island
True independent;
‘Real world’ skill; Hughes in Dist. 2 Jarman in Dist. 1 We were very happy to see Our leaders in Olympia have issued a statement endorsing Lovel Pratt for the San Juan Island residency district. It hews closely to Ms. Pratt’s principal campaign talking point: her connections and advocacy for county issues in Olympia. I have no doubt that Ms. Pratt spent considerable time in Olympia during her term in Council. My question is, why? Isn’t that the job assigned to our elected representatives in the Washington State Legislature — advocating for San Juan County’s interests in Olympia? Surely, with a county resident serving as a ranking Democrat in the Senate, our interests are protected there? I believe that this county needs council members who are available to focus on local problems using local solutions, not agendas driven by legislators exchanging favors, or federal or state agencies dangling grant funds that arrive with conditions that are inconsistent with the priorities of the people of the county. It seems unwise to rely upon ephemeral grant funds when the state and the federal government are facing staggering deficits. I believe that we need council members willing to review existing spending and determine why—with a population that grew very little over the last decade, our county budget ballooned from $35 million to $50 million. I believe that we need
this paper and the Islands’ Sounder endorse Rick Hughes for county council. He has remained true to his promise to be an independent representative in our local government. Despite other candidates accepting partisan support from the majority party in this state, which in all honesty has to come with some influence from that party, Hughes refused to play the partisan card when offered and even the PAC card. In all three elections he has maintained his independent status. Like many of you, we moved here for the opportunity to raise our family in an environment where it didn’t matter what brand of jeans you wore (a 1980s problem), where you came from originally or what your beliefs were. We were attracted here by the beauty but stayed because of the lovely community of hardworking, generous and independent people like Rick Hughes. You don’t move here if you require many government services. You prefer to do things yourself and with the cooperation of your neighbors because it makes you feel great and strengthens you and the bonds within your community. Rick has shown by example what he believes are values that help strengthen a community. He supports an environment where job creation can thrive so our children can afford to raise their families here where

they grew up. The remedies and problems in different communities are as different as the communities themselves. As a county of islands we need independent thinkers without undue outside influences to solve the problems unique to this county. Rick has volunteered in many different areas of our community so has an understanding of its strengths and weaknesses. His positive energy, abilities and emphasis on teamwork have improved the Farmer’s Market, many school organizations, the Food Bank, the EPRC and other community endeavors. He hit the ground running in his county position. Join us in helping him maintain the momentum. Please help unite our com-

She went to Edgemont and Baldwin High Schools, attended Bennington College and graduated from Columbia University as an occupational therapist. She married William H. Bryant in 1953. She and Will raised four children, spending summers on Cape Cod. They moved to The Sea Ranch, Calif., in 1976 and later settled on San Juan Island. In 1997 they divorced, and Nancy moved to Lake Havasu City, Ariz. She later married Wallace Smith. Wherever she went, Nancy made countless friends. Connecting with people was the highlight of her life. In Friday Harbor, she was a member of AAUW and helped start the walking group.

She will be greatly missed by her husband, her sweet cat Tarna, and her many friends from San Juan and Salt Spring islands, California, and various places around the world. A celebration of Janine’s life is being planned. Information to come. — Family of Janine Lendi

ONE shoulder
Hundreds of miles to paddle. I am a weekend warrior. But my shoulder pain was getting in the way of my favorite adventures. So I turned to the ONE place in our region with expert knowledge and specialty care for shoulders, hips, knees and ankles. PeaceHealth St. Joseph Orthopedics offers a full-range of options for shoulders from minor arthroscopic surgery and rotator cuff repairs to advanced surgery. And even the brand new joint I needed! Thanks to PeaceHealth, I’m enjoying my recovery out on the bay—one paddle stroke at a time.

History Corner
Pig War Part 2: new territory unveiled Author Mike Vouri takes a fresh look at the Pig War, Saturday, at Griffin Bay Bookstore While the past may be the past, history is forever changing. And what arguably stands as the most pivotal point in the history of the San Juan Islands — The Pig War — is no exception. Local author Mike Vouri will be on hand at Griffin Bay Bookstore Saturday, April 20, to present and talk about the new discoveries that prompted a revision and expansion of his definitive historical account of that famous 12-year-long joint-occupation of San Juan Island, in which Great Britain and the U.S. nearly went to war over the Northwest boundary when an American farmer shot a British pig. The recently released second edition of “The Pig War: Standoff at Griffin Bay”, includes additional photographs, maps, drawings and 100 more pages of text that offer fresh insights into that international boundary dispute that confounded diplomats of three nations, but ended up being resolved without the firing of a single shot — minus the one that killed the pig. The presentation begins at 7 p.m. “I’m frequently asked, ‘Why more work on a book already in print?’” Vouri says. “The answer is simple: 14 years have passed since the first iteration and when you work with a topic everyday as I have, as park historian, there has been no end to ‘Ah Hah’ moments either in the park or visiting the archives of three nations.” Such “Ah Hah” moments include: an encounter between
the skipper of the U.S. Coast Surveyor Steamer Active, James Alden, and the governor of Great Britain's Vancouver Island, James Douglas, a struggle over a revolver at the height of the crisis between George Pickett and a rebellious subordinate, as well as a wealth of information about the joint occupation that did not appear in the first ediContributed photo / Name tion, originally published Mike Vouri by Griffin Bay Bookstore and now distributed by the University of Washington Press. Still, Vouri notes that even as the second edition was going to press a whole new body of information arose, which could not be included. “And that’s the beauty of history,” he says. “It is a dynamic, ever-changing process. In his career with the National Park Service, Vouri has been historian-ranger at San Juan Island National Historical Park for the past 18 years. In addition to The Pig War: Standoff at Griffin Bay, he is the author of four other books, two also focused on the Pig War and two other, one coauthored with his wife, Julia, that feature historical images and insight into the past of San Juan Island, both published by Arcadia Publishing. Vouri is also regionally renowned for the starring role of his one-act play, “The Life and Times of General George E. Pickett”, and has been featured on the History channel and in the pages of the The Smithsonian.

T
he good news is that you probably won’t have to lather on the sunscreen, or worry too much about breaking out in a sweat. The weather forecast calls for a high of 54 degrees and a slight chance of a shower or two. But the not so good news is there’s somewhere in the neighborhood of another 2,000 pounds of trash, quite likely more, strewn along the roadways, sitting in the ditches and scattered across San Juan Island’s picturesque beaches. That’s the amount of trash gathered up and disposed of a year ago during the second annual island-wide community cleanups, aka the “Great Island Cleanup”. On Saturday, April 20 — that’s two days before Earth Day — the Great Island Cleanup crew, which includes any able-bodied person who’s willing to lend a hand, will be at it again. While the event officially runs from 9 a.m. to noon, you can get started and pitch in as part of the 3rd Annual Great Island Cleanup at pretty much anytime you’d like. And the GIC steering committee once again encourages you to take part in the island-wide spring cleaning ensemble by picking up whatever litter might by lying around near your home or place of business. But if you’d like to get more deeply involved in this year’s cleanup extravaganza there’s still plenty of time and ample opportunity to do so. You can hook up with one of the many neighborhood groups or civic organizations that already are scheduled to help, most with a particular location in mind, by contacting David Dehlendorf, co-founder of San Juan Island’s Anti-Litter Initiative, 378-1082, or at dauffa@gmail.com. “Picking up litter in small groups is much more fun and also a great deal safer,” Lori Stokes of the GIC steering committee says. “So gather some friends, co-workers, or family members and make a party out of it.” (A cautionary note to motorists: stay alert and vigilant for the safety of those picking up trash along the island’s narrow and winding roads; lack of adequate shoulders and good sight lines can be a danger). As in the past, a multitude of local organizations have joined forces to help sponsor the event. The list includes: San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce, Soroptimists International of Friday Harbor, the Lions and Rotarians, Friends of the San Juans, San Juan County and the Town of Friday Harbor, and the county’s local fran-
chise waste hauler, San Juan Sanitation. The collaborative effort to spruce up the island appears to making a difference. The 2,000 pounds of trash collected last year, with about 250 people pitching in, is less than half the 5,000 pounds collected during the first GIC, by about 200 volunteers. The Chamber of Commerce will have free pickup bags available at its Spring Street headquarters this week, and some trash grabbers and safety vests as well. Both Browne’s Home Center and ACE Hardware also plan to offer pick-up supplies at discount prices. San Juan Sanitation will collect garbage bags dropped off by 2 p.m. on the day of the GIC at any of these locations (see side-bar). Trash can also be disposed of for free at the solid waste transfer station on Sutton Road during regular business hours by identifying oneself as a GIC “litter-picker-upper”. Info, 378-4643; loristokes3@gmail.com.
Drop-off sites: — The closed lumber store on Spring Street, across from the Best Western. — Parking area at South Beach. — Following intersections: Roche Harbor/West Valley, Mitchell Bay/Westside, Beaverton Valley/Egg Lake, Bailer Hill/Douglas roads.

Reggae legend to unveil ‘Heart & Soul’ in acoustic, solo show
www.sanjuanjournal.com Saturday, April 20, 7 p.m. Tragedy of the Commons Documentaries with Ken Crawbuck
New album in tow, Clinton Fearon hits the stage for a first-ever performance in Friday Harbor Perhaps no other performer in the world of reggae music carries the kind of name familiarity quite like the late Bob Marley does. But to the tried-and-true reggae fan, Clinton Fearon comes very close. Following an 18-year-career as a mainstay of The Gladiators, long-known as one of the more heavy hitting bands of the reggae-roots movement that flourished in Kingston, Jamaica in the ‘70s and ‘80s, Fearon moved to Seattle in the early ‘90s and set out on his own. He will be at the Grange Hall in Friday Harbor for a firstever performance in the San Juan Islands, a solo acoustic concert, Friday, April 19. Billed as an “all-ages” show, doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets can purchased at Rocky Bay Cafe prior to the show; adults, $10, student (14-18) $5, with proper identification, or for $15, for adults, at the door. Though perhaps not as widely known as a Marley or a Jimmy Cliff, Fearon can easily be considered as prolific, if not more so. With Fearon featured either as lead singer, on bass, or on backup vocals, The Gladiators released more

As a solo artist, the 62-year-old singer-songwriter, frontman for his own band, the Boogie Brown Band, has released 10 recordings, including 2012’s “Heart and Soul”. A solo acoustic project, much like 2005’s “Me An’ My Guitar”, the scaled-down quality of Heart and Soul, just the musician and his instrument, allows Fearon to showcase his acclaimed songwriting and singing prowess, as well as a legendary talent for busting out stirring, captivating rhythms on an acoustic guitar.

before she decides. These are qualities needed on our County Council as it deals with controversy and change. Having a council of three instead of six means that each council person will influence the tenor of council meetings more than has been the case in recent years. It is important therefore to have council members who display a respectful and open-minded approach to other council persons, the public, and county staff. Lisa Byers is such a person. I urge voters to place her on our new three-person council. Richard Ward Lopez Island
Consensus builder; Byers in Dist. 2
I supported Greg Ayers in the County Council primary election; I’m now supporting Lisa Byers unequivocally and enthusiastically, and here’s why. She knows how to engage in productive public discourse. Many issues that confront our elected offi-
cials are thorny, multi-faceted and fraught with controversy. Lisa knows how to listen, how to tease out the range of viewpoints and information, how to disagree without being disagreeable, and how to see a path forward. We need this kind of consensus builder as our elected official. She’s a problem solver who gets it, and gets it done. She’s most well known for her work with OPAL, a nonprofit organization that has successfully created mechanisms for affordable housing to enable regular citizens who contribute so much to our community to live and raise their families here. And building those houses created jobs. We need this kind of creative problem solver as our elected official. She’s a creative thinker. As we’ve seen during many public events during this election season, Lisa does not shy away from challenging questions. She engages in discussions with a rational, quick, and nimble mind that reveals her capacity to develop innovative solutions to vexing issues. We need this kind of thinker as our elected official. She’s not afraid of a challenge. When confronted with attacks, she has responded respectfully and thoughtfully. We need someone with this kind of grace and professionalism as our elected official. Donna Riordan Orcas Island

Vote for Lisa Byers for County Council District 2, Orcas/Waldron
www.lisabyers.org Paid for by Lisa Byers for County Council • P.O. Box 806, Eastsound, WA 98245 • info@lisabyers.org
First of all, let me start this letter off by saying that my hat is off to anyone who runs for public office. To all candidates, you have our thanks for being willing to run. I know I wouldn’t/couldn’t run for public office knowing that at any given moment probably half the island population is not happy with the decisions being made. That being said, we have a very important election coming up. For the most part, I stay out of politics. But with the upcoming non-partisan election of County Council positions, I felt compelled to write a letter of endorsement. I’ll be the first to admit that I know very little of the candidates that live on Orcas and Lopez islands. I have had to rely on friends on each island to give me their impressions. But here on San Juan, I know both candidates, and while both are earnest in running for public office, I am voting for Bob Jarman. Why?
The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com
I’ve known Bob for many years. When I was building my house, Bob was still working at the phone company. I got to know Bob as we worked to get utilities to my home. Bob regularly checked in during the process, and that impressed me. After he left and went to start his own small business, I called on Bob from time to time to help me with some Internet issues. Again, Bob was there to answer my questions, even though he wasn’t getting paid to do it. Last November, we voted for Bob and he won. When the primary happened earlier this winter, once again we voted for Bob. And now we are voting for him a third time. I like the fact that Bob is a local businessman. I like the fact that he was the only candidate to attend a recent killer whale symposium sponsored by NOAA. I like the fact that Bob has always been approachable and considerate in all my dealings with him. I’ve always said the only wrong vote anyone can make is not voting at all. So please get out and vote for Bob. John Boyd Friday Harbo
Knows the issues; Pratt in District 1
I am voting for Lovel Pratt. Here’s why: She is curious, listens and takes action. Her experience on the County Council and planning commission has given her a solid understanding of key issues facing our community. She has actively championed local farmers and the protection of our islands from the potential impacts of oil spills. Lovel has a strong commitment to creating a sound and responsible budget for our county. In the midst of difficult times, she is not afraid to ask the difficult questions. Above all, she understands the diverse issues, opinions and lifestyles in our communities… and respects that diversity. Nancy Greene Lopez Island
Our ‘rights’ at risk in council election
The CAO is such an important topic of focus concerning this April’s County Council election. It is more about how the new council members will view “citizens’ rights” than with the environment. The leaders our county needs to thrive will have
broad backgrounds in business, local economics, environmental and conservation as well as private property issues, broad base of job creation experience, management experience in private enterprise and volunteer organizations large and small, community service on several levels and understanding the current and future needs of our county. A council member whose career focus has been on environmental and conservation issues, low income housing and nonprofit organizations, the “New Economics” of justice and equality in property and income for everyone will have a disastrous impact on every aspect of the county. It is difficult for anyone to take away any of our constitutional rights, including private property rights. Therefore, the only way to remove those rights is to pass legislation that makes it virtually impossible to exercise them. Through a very complex CAO plan and regulatory system (a solution looking for a non-existent problem) the county can make it extremely difficult and expensive to own private property. Under these types of regulations you must prove in advance you have the right to cut a tree down or plant a garden. Whether or not your action was in a problem to the environment, you can be fined heavily and be forced to pay for restoration of your own land. Don’t believe it? Recently it has proven to be impossible to remove our second amendment rights as stated in the Constitution of the United States. Therefore, senators and representatives like Feinstein, Schumer, Maloney and others are proposing to make it so expensive to own a gun through mandatory insurance, fees and fines that most citizens will be unable to exercise their constitutional right. They can’t take away your rights, but they can suppress them. Support candidates who represent everyone’s rights and best interests in environmental and community issues, the economy, jobs and health. Vote: Rick Hughes – Bob Jarman – Brian McClerren Don Pencil Orcas Island
Qualities to lead; Byers in District 2
I have been a middle class resident on Orcas Island for See LETTERS, Page 19
The Journal of the San Juan Islands | SanJuanJournal.com
Continued from page 18 more than 20 years now. Some of you know me from when I worked in the Orcas Senior Center as “That Licensing Lady” (20052008). My experience working there as a representative of the San Juan County auditor and treasurer gave me some insight into the challenges facing our county government and the public it serves. We live in a special place. Part of that “specialness”, for me, has been the civility of the public discourse. I hope that continues. Frankly, regarding this election, I see more commonalities with some of the candidates, rather than differences. I really like Rick Hughes as a person, and I am a customer of his business. He is a good guy. However, what intrigues me about Lisa Byers as a candidate are two things: her work experience and her personal character. I believe that Lisa’s time spent governing or managing a successful nonprofit agency (which interfaces on a regular basis with our federal, state and county government agencies) has given her a unique skill-set that will translate exceedingly well to San Juan County governance. Now, couple that with an articulate personality, sharp mind, straightforward demeanor, and fair mindedness. What you get is a leader. That is Lisa Byers, a leader. Cathy Ferran Orcas Island
A ‘great’ decision; Jarman in Dist. 1
In the upcoming election, voters countywide will be casting their ballots for County Council members. I realize that people who live on Orcas and Lopez might not be very familiar with Bob Jarman from San Juan Island. I worked with Bob for almost 30 years, first in a small company then in a very large one. I also watched Bob in a supervisory position. Bob is a hardworking, honest, straightforward individual who is willing to share his opinion but also willing to listen to yours. Bob is a great choice for County Council. Barry Madan San Juan Island
He’ll work for all; Stephens in Dist. 3
I have known Jamie Stephens for nearly 20 years now and I continue to appreciate, among other things, his significant and consistent dedication to the community over that period of time. In addition to serving as the chairman of the County Council, Jamie has served on and worked with innumerable local boards. Many of his efforts have been apparent, such as for the Lopez Community Land Trust, Lopez Family Resource Center, Fisherman Bay Water District, and Port Commission. He supports local farmers and worked with legislators and citizens to help secure the recent National Monument status and local control of solid waste and recycling. But there is plenty that has gone unnoticed and unheralded. As a council member, Jamie works with our neighbors in the Gulf Islands. He was instrumental in establishing (and working on) the skate park. He taught small business classes for many years, enabling a number of local entrepreneurs to make their dreams a reality. He has been a substitute teacher at the Lopez School for many years. As an active Lions Club member, he has repeatedly organized the 4th of July parade and has made cocoa, cookies, and set up, to welcome the Santa Ship at Odlin Park (This is by no means an exhaustive summary). It is clear to me that he is personally invested in our island community on many levels. It’s an impressive broad base of involvement. I am confident that Jamie will continue to focus on our community and our needs. He is a good listener and takes into account everyone’s viewpoint.

County council could use a great mom, like ours
As Lisa’s daughters, we think you should vote for Lisa for County Council. In our totally biased but very well-informed opinion, we think Lisa would make a great council member because she is a great mom, and we think that great moms make great council members. Lisa respects us and takes us seriously even when she disagrees with us. Lisa can explain really complicated things so that they make sense to us. Lisa listens to us and makes sure she has
all the information and hears everyone’s perspective before making big decisions. Lisa told us once that her ministry, her calling in life, is to work towards a world where everyone has a home — a sustainable, affordable home that you can love and take responsibility for. That is what Lisa has worked towards for 17 years as OPAL’s executive director. Now she is expanding her efforts from the houses that are our homes, to the island community that is our home. Lisa wants to make San Juan County a sustainable, affordable community for all families, now and for generations to come. She loves our island community and wants to preserve it for her children and yours. She sure has our vote. Emma, Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff Orcas Island

Wolverines make waves on mound Guard throws ‘perfect’ game; three Wolverines combined on no-hitter By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor
Sophomore Gabe Lawson swatted a pair of extra-base hits and drove in three runs to lead the Wolverines to a 11-1 victory on the road, Saturday, April 13, over Cedar Park Christian of Mount Lake Terrace. Still, it was Lawson’s two innings of relief on the mound — from shaky to solid — that proved equally impressive, as the second-year player helped the Friday Harbor pitching staff post a no-hitter on the Lions (5-5) home field. Brandon Lambright tossed three innings of no-hit ball before giving way to Lawson, who, despite allowing a run after giving up a pair walks and hitting a batter, didn’t allow a base hit in two innings of relief. “He had a rough start in the fourth,” Coach Rich Warin said. “But he settled down and came back to have throw a good second inning.” Junior Otis Cooper-West kept the Lions hitless in the sixth inning to seal a 10-run win in six innings of play. With the win, the Wolverines improved to 9-3 overall and remained undefeated in Northwest 1A/2B League play. They fell for the second time this season to a regional 1A rival, however, in a 5-2 loss on the road Thursday, April 11, against Lynden Christian. The Wolverines failed to produce a base-hit with runners in scoring position, Warin said. “Their guy threw a very good game, but we just didn’t get the clutch hit when we needed it,” he said. The win over the Lions follows in the wake of an even more impressive outing on the mound by a Friday Harbor pitcher. On April 9, senior Gavin Guard, the team’s starting

catcher, tossed a perfect game, as the Wolverines routed Darrington at Hartman Field in a 15-0 victory in just five innings.
