No ‘quick fix’ for broken bridge By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
The only candidate who owns property in San Juan County (a vacation house on Decatur Island) and the only finalist who lives in the state of Washington was selected Tuesday to be the new county manager in a unan imous decision by the County Council. On the same day, May 21, Mike Mike Thomas Thomas, 49, of Enumclaw, Wash., was extended an offer of employment at an annual salary of $120,000, plus a deferred compensation match of up to 5 percent of his salary and the usual public employee benefits. Thomas accepted the offer May 22 and will start work on June 24. Interim county manager Bob Jean said he thought Thomas was a “great fit for San Juan County” and that he will be available to help with the transition, but expects to be relieved of interim duties by the end of June. Since 2010, Thomas has been city administrator of Enumclaw, Wash., population 10,699. Before that, he was director of that city’s Department of See Boss, Page 4

New look for island factories
Replacing the collapsed bridge over I-5 in Mt. Vernon will take “months, not weeks” according to State Senator Kevin Ranker, who briefed county and town officials at a hastily organized “emergency meeting” of the San Juan County Council the day after the 55 yearold bridge crashed into the Skagit River May 23 in Mount Vernon. That timetable caused consternation for local officials, concerned that the first months of the tourist season on the islands might see significant disruptions for travelers trying to reach the San Juan Islands. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is working to locate a suitable “Bailey bridge” to temporarily replace the fallen span, but any solution won’t happen until mid-summer at the earliest, according to Ranker. “Alternate routes can get travelers to the Anacortes ferry dock with only a few minutes of additional drive time,” Councilman Rick Hughes said. After speaking with Governor Jay Inslee early on the day after the collapse, Hughes said the governor understood the problem and promised that the Department See Bridge, Page 4

New showroom for Island Wholesale Company to showcase carpet, tile, stone, hardwood at ‘A’ Street location
A new location is the setting of an expansion of flooring sales and services for Island Wholesale Products. The company recently moved into the showroom at 278 “A” Street in downtown Friday Harbor, formerly home of Island Home Port. IWP will now feature windows, doors, cabinets and other building products at the current 849 Spring Street location, and offer carpet, hardwood, tile and stone at the new “A” St. location. Island Wholesale’s Mary Haselow had been working on expanding flooring offerings when the opportunity came to take the “A” Street location. The company has greatly increased its product lines and displays in the new showroom, including specialty “green” products, she said, and can compete with mainland pricing, and will feature at least one product every month at a true “blow out” price as a monthly special. Anyone visiting the “A” Street showroom this summer will receive special pricing, she added. Haselow, with a degree in interior design, has over 20 years of experience in design and sales and is the company’s go-to person for flooring, cabinets and countertops. She will be at the “A” Street showroom Tuesday - Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or by appointment,

PeaceHealth, UW Med plan on pact
By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter
UW Medicine and PeaceHealth on May 20 signed a letter of intent to create a strategic affiliation to provide patients with access to comprehensive care in the Pacific Northwest and to cooperate on medical training at UW and PeaceHealth locations. The letter of intent, dated May 20, is expected to be followed up by definitive agreements by Sept. 30, 2013. According to the press release, the two organizations will remain legally separate and independent; system governance will not be affected; and government regulatory approval is not required. PeaceHealth is the owner and operator of Peace Island
Factories:
Continued from page 1 distilling apple juice into a variety of liquors to bottling and labeling the products. What makes the island location important for Anderson and the Pingrees are the climate (“just like Normandy”), the sixteen varieties of “bittersweet and bittersharp” English and French apples that Anderson planted in 1999 on an acre and a half next to Westcott Bay, and the quality of life that brought all three to San Juan Island. The Pingrees, retired professors from the University of Wisconsin, three years ago proposed to Anderson that he expand the cidermaking operation to spirits; Anderson readily accepted. For Anderson and the Pingrees, it’s the passion they put into their product and the quality of the life they lead that makes them happy to be here and optimistic about their future on San Juan Island. “It’s an art form as much as a manufacturing process,” says Hawk, who loves to describe the distilling process in front of their two stills, a 200-liter German Adrian still and a 30-liter Portuguese pot still just for making gin. The trio sees their business, and their friends’ business at San Juan Winery, as pioneers in agricultural processing and manufacturing in the San Juan Islands, part of and complementary to the growing “agritourism” sector in the islands. Anderson and the Pingrees say the state tax system, which imposes three layers of ad-valorem taxes on their products, is their biggest obstacle to success. Hawk Pingrees wants the legislature to take into account their size and the different manufacturing and marketing costs that giant distillers absorb by volume sales and pricing. “We know
that our craft-made product, made in small batches with premium ingredients, will sell at a premium price, but the layered 10 percent, 22 percent and 17 percent taxes at the manufacturing, distribution and retail levels are discouraging to potential customers,” says Hawk Pingree. Luxel Corporation Travis Ayers is the third owner of Luxel Corporation, which he purchased from Forbes Powell in 2007. Powell bought the company from Gordon Steele in 1988; Gordon Steele founded the company in California in 1973 and brought it to the islands in 1979. When Ayers bought the company in 2007, he thought seriously about moving it to the Bay Area, but since moving here has not had second thoughts about the decision. “My family and the families of my employees love being here, and so do I,” said Ayers. The company makes high-tech, ultra-thin optical filters using exotic metals, metallic compounds and polymers. Most are used in space flight and plasma physics research, but the company is developing commercial uses such as watchfaces for high-end watches, using beautiful nano-thickness foils marketed under the Luxefoil
Medical Center in Friday Harbor. Peace Island Medical Center, which opened in November, 2012, was constructed with a $20 million capital contribution from PeaceHealth and $10 million in private donations, mostly from island residents. The San Juan County Hospital District contributes $1 million per year from property taxes to PIMC operations. “The strategic affiliation between PeaceHealth and UW Medicine offers significant benefits to people in our geographic region due to the opportunity to provide the full continuum of care – primary through quaternary levels – more seamlessly and with a unique patient experience,” said Peter Adler, Chief Strategy Officer for PeaceHealth.

A current “large” contract calls for five handmade filters for Japanese government science satellites, each performing a different filtering function and each less than one micron (.001 millimeters) thick. Ayers’s company has 18 “highly valued” employees, many of them with science PhDs. Ayers says he’s found most of his employees here, “many with advanced degrees,” but also assembly workers whom he has to train. He thinks high school science and technology education programs like STEM are “critically important” to his company and to other companies which

might move here. A relatively high cost-ofliving scale is a challenge, says Ayers, “but it’s balanced out by the quality of life” in the islands. Ayers thinks bringing customers, both foreign and domestic, to San Juan Island is an advantage to establishing the close person-to-person relationships his company depends on for repeat business.

Thomas graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Arts in geography and then earned a Masters degree in public administration from Seattle University. He is married and has two children. The county manager will replace the previous position of county administrator, a position originally created by the county charter, then eliminated in one of three amendments proposed by the Charter Review Commission and approved by voters in November. That vote also reduced the county council from six part-time legislators to three full-time elected positions vested with both legislative and executive duties.

The duties of the county manager include assisting the new 3-person county council in overseeing the functions of local government and departments not managed by another elected county official, such as the sheriff, auditor or prosecuting attorney. County Council Chairman Jamie Stevens said his decision focused on Thomas’s “collaborative style” and familiarity with state law, especially related to Thomas’s extensive experience with land use planning and the state’s Growth Management Act. Stevens said he was also the top candidate of the citizens’ committee and of the county employees’ committee that for several hours last week interviewed the five finalists seeking the job. One citizens’ committee member told the council Thomas was “thoroughly professional and very approachable.” Stevens also mentioned “positive responses of citizens at the open houses” held May 13 on Orcas, Lopez and San Juan islands.

used alternate routes many times, including taking the Mulkiteo-Clinton ferry. “Both locals and tourists will enjoy the scenic routes whether coming from the south or the north,” she said. Emergency Services Manager Brendan Cowan said he was in touch with air, rail and water transportation providers, and all indicated they would step up to provide additional services as needed. Ranker said early estimates indicate repair of the bridge may cost $15 million. Todd Banks of Kenmore Air, which during summer months flies some 7,500 passengers per month to the islands utilizing both land-based and seaplanes, said they would add reserve planes to regularly scheduled routes if the number of advance reservations warrants more daily capacity. “We’ve done this many times on busy summer routes,” Banks said, “and we’re ready to assist our valued San Juan Islands customers in their time of need.” The collapse was apparently caused when a giant over-sized steel girder being transported on I-5 whacked a load-bearing arch at full speed, according to San Juan County Superintendent of Public

The 1,111-foot steel-truss bridge was built in 1955, according to the nongovernmental website nationalbridges.com, which offers a searchable database of the National Bridge Inventory compiled by the Federal Highway Administration. It was built before the freeway for U.S. 99. The database classifies the Skagit River bridge over I-5 as “functionally obsolete,” which indicates the design is not ideal, but it is not rated as “structurally deficient.” “‘Functionally obsolete’ does not communicate anything of a structural nature,” according to nationalbridges.com. “A functionally obsolete bridge may be perfectly safe and structurally sound but may be the source of traffic jams or may not have a high enough clearance to allow an oversized See BRIDGE, Page 5

Governor Jay Inslee signed into law a bill by Representative Jeff Morris (D-Mount Vernon) to expedite regulatory review on new 4g upgrades to cellular towers and antennas. House Bill 1183 updates Washington’s State Environmental Policy Act review process regarding wireless structures, exempting those that are constructed atop existing bui l di ngs and commercial or industrial areas. According Jeff Morris to Morris, the change will make the permitting process easier, reducing the regulatory burden for telecommunications companies. “It’s been nearly a decade since Washington did major work on our wireless infrastructure,” noted Morris.

According to the joint press release, the organizations will also work together to develop and expand community-based training sites for UW School of Medicine students and trainees in communities served by PeaceHealth. The affiliation intends to improve care delivery and respond to changes needed to implement health care reform. Neither the joint press release nor Adler referred to current disputes PeaceHealth and other Catholic-based health care systems are facing regarding restrictions on the
A coalition of Pacific Northwest-based community groups, health professionals, environmental organizations and other groups and individuals filed a formal petition with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers asking it to evaluate “cumulative and related impacts” of all proposed coal export terminals in Oregon and Washington.
Active coal export proposals at Cherry Point, (north of Bellingham), Longview, Wash., and Boardman, Ore., would have the capacity to export 100 million metric tons per year if all three are built. Formally submitted by Earthjustice, the petitioners ask the Army Corps to conduct a single, comprehensive, area-wide environmental impact statement under its National Environmental Policy Act authority. “The threats from these coal export proposals connect communities across the region and cannot be overlooked,” Cesia Kearns of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Campaign said in a press release. “We have been calling for an area-wide EIS for over a year; it’s time for the Army Corps to stop sitting on its hands.” More than 500 businesses, 160 elected officials, including both governors Kitzhaber and Inslee and 10 members of Congress, three dozen municipalities, over 100 organiza-

The letter of intent outlines opportunities the organizations could pursue together, including performance improvement initiatives to reduce costs and clinical programming to increase access to specialized services such as cardiovascular care, high-risk obstetrics and neonatology, cancer care, behavioral health and neurosciences. “PeaceHealth selected UW Medicine to be its preferred health system for complex tertiary and qua-
ternary care in the Seattle area,” said Alan Yordy, President and Chief Mission Officer for PeaceHealth. “This will give our patients enhanced access to services that we do not provide.” The press release says the affiliation is “a huge step forward in meeting the needs of the whole patient as well as whole communities more effectively. In its role as the region’s only fully comprehensive health care organization covering all levels of patient care and serving as the educational institution for a five-state region (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho), UW Medicine will continue to serve patients from all communities, hospitals and clinics to meet their needs for complex tertiary and quaternary care.”

The legislation includes limitations designed to minimize physical change to structures and prevent any environmental degradation. Under the new law, a wireless structure may not increase the height of the structure by more than 10 percent or 20 feet, or protrude out more than 20 feet. The law will go into effect July 27, 2013.

Bridge: Continued from page 4 have a high enough clearance to allow an oversized vehicle.” In 2010, according to the database, the bridge carried an average of 70,925 vehicles per day. The substructure was deemed in “good condition,” and the superstructure and deck were described as in “satisfactory condition.” The federal database says a structural evaluation of the bridge found it “somewhat better than minimum adequacy to tolerate being left in place as is.”
According to a 2012 Skagit County Public Works Department, 42 of the county’s 108 bridges are 50 years or older. The document says eight of the bridges are more than 70 years old and two are over 80. That there were no fatalities “is a miracle,” said Ranker, who explained that emergency personnel were on the scene within minutes and the three people in the water were quickly retrieved from the river and transported to local hospitals and treated. According to Ranker, “everything went perfectly.”

Blessed, inspired by your support
Last Friday night, May 17th, our family was the recipient of a fundraiser organized to assist my mother, Shann Weston, with her medical costs as she undergoes treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all). The event was incredible for our family on so many levels. We were so speechless seeing all of your talents on display — the qual-
ity of the auction items, the cooking and baking, the art and homegrown flower displays, the organizational cohesion, and musical talent was staggering. And interwoven with your many talents is an altruistic spirit that can lift up and carry a family during the toughest of times. It is a rare and special gift our town has. There was fun at the fairgrounds that night, and lots of it. Every single person in that building was someone we are always lucky to spend time with, and to have you all together at once, well, that was a plain honor.

How are we doing? First quarter revenue backslide Retail sales were up, statewide, in the first three months of the year, but not so in the San Juan Islands By F. Milene Henley, San Juan County auditor
A question I hear a lot is: “Why doesn’t the county run itself more like a business?” Having wondered that myself at one point, I could now write a book about the ways government and private industry differ, and why they can’t run the same way. In one way we are still similar, however: we project revenues and costs for a given budget period, and we hope that we achieve the revenues and don’t exceed the costs. The first quarter of 2013 was a disappointment, at least on the revenue side. In particular, sales tax revenue to San Juan County did not meet expectations. Whether the county can meet revenue projections for the year will depend on activity picking up in this and other key sectors in the following quarters. First quarter sales tax collections in 2013 lagged first quarter collections in each of the previous five years except 2011, and for no obvious reason. Having enjoyed a fairly mild weather this winter, we can’t blame the weather for lack of sales. Notably also, retail trade statewide was up in the first quarter compared to 2012. Real estate sales were mixed. On San Juan Island, both dollar volume and number of transactions were significantly down (22 percent and 18 percent, respectively), compared to first quarter last year. Orcas picked up the slack, with a 73 percent increase in dollar volume and a 36 percent increase in number of transactions. Transactions on other islands were flat. Countywide, there was a 9 percent increase in dollar volume over first quarter 2012. Income to the county from real estate sales comes in the form of real estate excise tax:

0.5 percent of a sale price for capital improvement funds, and 1 percent for Land Bank funds. With increased sales countywide, excise tax collections in the first quarter have been strong, and increasing each month. Another favorable revenue area is permitting and planning, which holds the promise of future building and associated sales tax revenue. First quarter 2013 revenue in this area almost matched the first quarter of 2012, which ended as our strongest year since 2008. Total Current Expense (general fund) collections for the first Journal file photo quarter just met budget projections, despite low sales tax collections. Auditor Milene Henley Part of this achievement is because of unusually high intergovernmental funding in Health and Community Services. Unfortunately, the high level of this income was a timing issue and does not reflect any real increase in revenue. So, while it made the first quarter look good, it is no substitute for lost sales tax revenue. But what really bothers me about this shortfall in sale tax revenue to the county, is that it implies also a shortfall in sales for our local businesses. Just when we thought we were coming out of this economic malaise, we seem to have taken another step backwards. I’m hopeful that the setback is temporary, and that sales tax – and sales – will recover over the rest of the year. For myself, I’m going to do my part by making sure I buy locally and support my local businesses. I encourage you to do the same. — Editor’s note: San Juan County Auditor Milene Henley’s quarterly financial reports are published periodically by the Journal.

Editorial
As I See It
Stance united
T
he collapse of the I-5 Skagit River bridge at Mount Vernon last week reminds us of the fragility of this county’s transportation and communication links with the mainland. Even when those links are well-tended, accidents happen that threaten lives, property and economic well-being. Coming as it did on the eve of the summer tourist season, the bridge collapse starkly highlights the economic effect of breakages in those links. As the state and national officials renew talk of renewing our infrastructure, we hope they’ll keep in mind the ferry system, local roads and underwater cables that islanders depend on. As always, local officials and business community activists quickly came together to size up the potential for problems caused by the collapse, and to marshal a community wide response to mitigate negative effects on tourism. Here at the Journal, we were somewhat surprised to see how swiftly local officials could rally and reach out to enlist the help even of the media in circulating information about travel alternatives for those who may have been reconsidering a holiday trip to the islands. The messages came pouring forth in less than 24 hours. The response, over there and over here, was and is encouraging and heartening. Local and state officials showed how efficiently and effectively they can make the emergency systems work. We congratulate everyone here, in Skagit County and in Olympia on the fast response times and the “no lives lost” result. We look forward to congratulating everyone again on the speed of the bridge repairs. We were all shown once again why we can have confidence that in matters great and small, our officials and leaders will make good decisions and take right actions when difficult times are upon us.

Edward Frederick Carlberg, Jr.: 1922—2013 Ed Carlberg passed away peacefully in his beloved San Juan Island home on May 15, 2013, after a short illness. Born in Seattle on Nov. 15, 1922, Ed grew up in Centralia, Port Angeles, and Kent, Wash. During his freshman year at the University of Washington he joined the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, signed up for Navy ROTC, rowed crew, and fell in love with Elizabeth Ann “Betty” Fairburn. His college education was interrupted when he was called to active duty as a Navy lieutenant in 1944, finding himself at age 21 serving as a ship’s officer in the Philippines and South Pacific. Upon his safe return he married Betty and both finished their degrees, Ed earning two degrees in engineering. He joined the Boeing Airplane Company as an engineer in 1949,
spending the next 30 years managing a variety of engineering groups. An early pioneer in the field of CAM (Computer Aided Ma nu f a c tu r i n g ) , he was manager of technology for Ed Carlberg Boeing Computer Services back when computers were still quite rare. He raised a family in Seattle and was a founding member and SCUBA instructor for the Boeing Seahorses skindiving club. Upon his retirement, Ed and Betty moved to the west side of San Juan Island and built their dream home, just the two of them, from the foundations up. They enjoyed frequent vacations to the Caribbean, Hawaii, and South Pacific.
Ed was very active in the community, as a member and past commodore of the San Juan Island Yacht Club, member of the Power Squadron, treasurer for the Mullis Senior Center, elected freeholder for San Juan County and volunteer fire fighter. Gracious and fun-loving, Ed was loved and respected by everyone who came in contact with him. Preceded in death by his beloved wife of 67 years, Betty, and by his daughter Dr. Kristen Carlberg, he is survived by another daughter, Dr. Karen Carlberg (Spokane), son Robert Carlberg (Edmonds), one grandchild, and sister Barbara Belnap (Pasadena, Calif.). No services are planned. In his honor, please support the San Juan Preservation Trust, which was very important to Ed. —Family of Ed Carlberg

Profile: Artist finds home in Sun Rise Artist Chinmayo has a new canvas to decorate in SJCLT neighborhood By Lee Sturdivant Special to the Journal
I
brought up her name at our board meeting: Chinmayo has applied to purchase a home in Sun Rise, and everyone suddenly applauded.” Not the usual reaction at an often serious-minded San Juan Community Home Trust meeting, recounted Nancy DeVaux, Home Trust Executive Director. That reaction springs from the enthusiasm and happy energy the well-known community artist brings to her new island address and adventure. Because homeowners at Sun Rise are required to put in “sweat equity” by working on landscaping, Chin’s vision, leadership and energy are a perfect fit. “Of course this garden is small, I think that’s perfect. And see this water feature I’m building?” It’s the centerpiece of a small garden with circles of rocks, perennials, shrubs, shells, even fruit trees, outside her new home. There is also a view over the gravel pit to Griffin bay as she works. In the usual Chinmayo fashion, she has already recruited the young boy next door as her helper. She is also looking to reach out to others in the Sun Rise complex to share her latest visions. “Wouldn’t it be great to get together and build a trellis all around this place – I think that could help keep the deer out, don’t you? Although I do think we can grow enough fruit for the deer and for us,” she exclaims. For islanders who’ve known Chinmayo, this enthusiasm for creating community through her art (and music) is nothing new. San Juan Island is brimming with the projects she has led to fruition – usually with the involvement of island students. She taught art classes for years and realized that art can be something communi-

ties can create and do together. The Compass Rose installed behind the High School came first – a senior class project, funded in part by a grant from the San Juan Island Community Foundation. Following that, island elementary school children were the main participants in the beautiful and delightfully tiled "Welcome Wall" at the new Spring Street Landing terminal. The entrance to the Fairgrounds, the entrance to the sculpture park at Westcott Bay, and the decorative tiles around the door at the kindergarten classroom were all done by local kids, led by Chinmayo. “Of course, I get lots of help from others,” she says. “Beth Spadafora is always involved, so is Liesha Holmes, Beth Hetrick, Carolyn Haugen, and people in the community often step up to help pay for these projects – and I’m not really earning my living with this stuff.” Actually, Chinmayo earns her living working the night shift at Village at the Harbour, working with Alzheimer’s patients. “That gives me time to do this fun stuff.” She also puts on the Music at the Port program each year and, if a singer doesn’t show up, Chin steps in. Singing is another of her talents. One Chinmayo project still awaits community and financial support – the long blank wall on Blair Street, behind the Earth Box Motel. She has the permits - and the design - which will show a history of the island - but the needed financial support is not yet there. Meanwhile, Chin digs another hole in her Sun Rise garden. “Look at all these plants that people have given me from their gardens. This new home is one of the greatest things that ever happened You can add a special note of to me in my life. I want to congratulations to your child, or make it even more beautiful the class of 2013 in general by – and involve everyone who purchasing a logo box. lives here.” Publishing: June 4-Weekly, June 5-Journal & Sounder No one could doubt that Sales Deadline: May 30-Weekly, May 31-Journal & Sounder she will.

et a small group of talented artists together and something creative is bound to spring up. Need proof? Then look no further than the Annual San Juan Island Artists Studio Tour. It’s May 31 and June 1. The tour, now in its 22nd year, has long served as a weekend-long showcase for a vast array of intriguing island-created endeavors of all shape, size, dimension and medium. You’ll no doubt find that to be the case by stopping in at any, or all, of the 15 studios on display as part of this year’s safari of island art, which will feature the work of 41 separate artists. But it’s more than just about the finished product. The essence of the tour, as first conceived by a handful of local artists two decades ago, is right there in its name: studio. “Back in the beginning the whole idea for having the studio tour was to be able to show people how and where art is made, rather than just where its shown,” recalls Mary Sly, who’s been designing hand-drawn and handpainted silk garments for more than 30 years, and whose participation in the tour, both as an artist and featured studio, dates back to the square one (Sly’s Sunrise Ridge Road studio is No. 2 on the tour brochure). Tour co-founder and encaustic artist Yvonne Bujis-Mancuso says part of the original idea was to demystify the creative process. Opening the doors of the creative workshop offers the tour-goer a gateway into the

everyday life of an artist and a good look at the surroundings in which an artist creates, and at the place where inspiration turns into art. The tour is intended to be as much about education as it is about art itself, she said. “People get to see the art and how it’s made, where we live, the creative process in action and where we get our inspiration,” said Bujis-Mancuso (Studio No. 13). “It’s more than just about the art.” Demonstrations, watching an artist in action, has evolved into one of tour’s hallmarks. Paula West of Paula West Pottery estimates anywhere between 150-200 people drop by her studio over the course of the weekend. This year is the fifth that her studio (Studio No. 12) will be featured, and she expects interest will run high in watching the five artists her studio will host, including herself, in action. “People get excited see what’s new, I get a lot are returnees,” West said. “And they like to see the process. I try to have something going on for a demonstration but sometimes it gets a little too busy.” And busy is precisely what many of the studio-artists have been to make sure all is prepared for the weekend ahead. “It takes a lot of energy to get ready for it, when you know you’ll be sharing your space,” says Laurie Burns, nationally renowned for her glass artwork. Burns (Studio No. 10) says she spends a good deal of time making sure that her studio, home, yard and garden are all ship shape. It appears to pay off. “I think it’s interesting that people get to see such an intimate space. For a lot of artists it’s almost a sacred space they’ve put together so they can create. People are very gracious about the amount of work that goes into this.” See Tour, Page 11

tied to numbers and ritual, Chloe, a promising chef in training, but emotionally handicapped by a broken heart, and Louise, Al's wife, whose anger simmers just below boil, and Isabelle, whose memory is slipping slowly from her grasp. Bauermeister is author of three novels and two books of nonfiction. She lives in Seattle. The latest novel by Jennie Shortridge is a matter of identity and trust. Author of five novels, Shortridge delves into the question of how well we know those we love, and how well we know ourselves, in her latest book, "Love Water Memory". Set mostly in Seattle, the novel is part detective story and part journey of discovery as Lucie, who wakes up knee-deep in San Francisco Bay, and then diagnosed with a rare form of amnesia, tries to piece together her past, and a new-found sense of both the present, and the future. Shortridge is a founding member of Seattle7Writers.org, a group devoted to raising Mullis Center, 589 Nash St., free. Gilbert & Sullivan’s topsy-turvy operetta “Iolanthe” gets the “D.C.” treatment in a performance by 8th graders from Portland’s Catlin Gabel School. Info, 378-9102, www.catlin.edu.

Tour:
Continued from page 9 In observance of Heritage Month, local genealogy researcher Robin Jacobson and Town of Friday Harbor historic preservation coordinator Sandy Strehlou are joining forces (safety in numbers?) for a walking tour of historic — and some believe haunted —sites in Friday Harbor. Ghost stories not only permeate local lore and legend, they also lend added interest to historic buildings. On this walk you will look through a window remembering a scandal in 1897, which makes that spot unworldly
For the established artists, like Burns, Sly, BujisMancuso and West, one of the highlights of the tour is the newcomers, artists and studios. Dollahite Studios, home to popular painters B.J. and Matt Dollahite, and Waldronshire Studios, the creative workshop of woodworker Richard Waldron, are each making a debut as part of the 2013 tour. Burns will be hosting guest artist Janie Ogle, creator of hand-painted silk scarves, while Sly, the hand-painted silk garment artist, will host painter Alice Shull and her col-
duster. Perhaps you have a spooky story of your own to share. Bring it on. No reservations required; tour begins at the intersection of Spring Street and Front Street, by Memorial Park, beginning at 7 p.m. Info: sstrehlou@fridayharbor.org or 378-2810. lection of dazzlingly colorful oil pastels and charcoal paintings. It’ll be somewhat of a family affair at Paula West Pottery, as West will host husband Joe Cooper, a mixed-media artist, and sculptor Tom Small and daughter Fiona Small, a mixed-media artist as well. In the host department, Bujis-Mancuso tops the list, sharing space and the weekend with five guest artists. She wouldn’t have it any other way. “It just makes it that much more enjoyable,” she said.

t’s more than just about flowers and plants. The San Juan Island Garden Tour is about ideas and inspiration, and discovering ways to turn a green island thumb that much greener. The 13th annual San Juan Island Garden Tour will feature four of the island’s finest, a diverse bunch, ranging from a modestly sized garden with raised beds and hoop houses, anchored by a fruit and vegetable enterprise, to one that features flowers, vegetables and a circular walk through a surrounding forest on the grounds of a secluded bed-andbreakfast. “Each garden has its own personal flair and all are testimony to the persistence and dedication of their owners,” says Fiona Norris of San Juan Horticultural S o c i e t y, one of the tour sponsors. T h e 2013 Garden Tour is June 8. The gardens will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It’s what’s known as a “selfdrive” tour, so, as always, you can spend as much time, or as little, at each of the four as you chose. Directions to the gardens are provided at the time tickets are purchased and docents will be on hand to help guide you through each
