Heat rises at hospital hearing

Larsen makes San Juan rounds

By Scott Rasmussen Journal editor

Island Hospital passes on future partnership with PeaceHealth

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

At almost the same time on Thursday, Aug. 29, Island Hospital backed away from affiliating with PeaceHealth medical system while the San Juan Hospital Commission parried questions and comments from islanders concerned that services at Peace Island Medical Center were being circumscribed by Catholic moral strictures expressed in the Bishops’ Ethical and Religious Directives for Health Care Services.

Just hours earlier, PeaceHealth announced a reduction in force of 500 jobs as the three-state health care system struggled with revenue shortfalls of $130 million in its Washington operations.

At a meeting in Mount Vernon, the commissioners of the public hospital district governing Island Hospital, which operates the Orcas Medical Center in Eastsound, voted not to join Skagit Regional Health hospital and Cascade Valley Hospital in signing a “letter of intent” to affiliate with the PeaceHealth hospital system, which operates hospitals and clinics in Bellingham and Friday Harbor.

Brian Goodermont of San Juan Safaris tells U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, far left, about the impact upon his business in the wake of the Aug. 17 fire at Spring Street Landing.

Businesses press port for action

See rounds Page 3 With a bang of the gavel, Chairman Greg Hertel opens a special meeting of the port commission, Aug. 28, regarding next steps following the fire that destroyed the port’s Spring Street Land building.

By Steve Wehrly Journal reporter

The Port of Friday Harbor Commission’s second “special meeting” about the Downriggers fire could pretty much be summed up as, “second verse same as the first.”

Neither the commission nor port Director Marilyn O’Connor had much new information to impart at the Aug. 28 meeting, but the crowd of about 50 (about half the number that attended a first special meeting a week before)

It’s good to have friends in high places, like in the U.S. House of Representatives.

On the heels of a recent tour by Rep. Rick Larsen of his Friday Harbor window and door manufacturing plant, David Marsaudon of Window Craft is now reconsidering Canadian markets, where figuring out what it takes to make a successful bid previously appeared to be formidable at the least, and daunting at best.

“If I have an opportunity I would certainly think of submitting a bid,” Marsaudon said.

Larsen and his team have helped one of Window Craft’s rival manufacturers develop a healthy and regular business with clients across the international border.

Larsen, D-Everett, believes that they may be able to assist Marsaudon and Window Craft to do the same.

He is also delighted and evidently somewhat relived that after nearly a dozen years the pending relocation of a portion of Cattle Point Road threatened by erosion, which winds across National Park Service property, is moving full steam ahead. Along with fellow members of the state’s congressional delegation, Larsen helped to earmark $5.5 million in funding for preservation and improvement of the local roadway as part of the most

Commissioner Mike Ahrenius said that even though the downstairs is not destroyed, “the property probably can’t be used” until the building is either rebuilt or replaced. The town has told the

port that the downstairs cannot be occupied for the foreseeable future, if ever.

The Greenhouse Cafe and Organic Juice Bar at 180 Web Street is “green” in every way.

Especially the big variety of organic, GMO-free juices and smoothies, and including the organic garden out back, the color of the building (the former Bistro Garden location) and all the healthful, organic, GMO-free, vegan and vegetarian breakfast and lunch dishes.

Jeff Altman, daughter Leah Altman and chef Ricarda Burnett have extensive food service experience, from Jeff ’s years as proprietor of Madeleine’s Bagels in Friday Harbor, to Leah’s stint at Bakery San Juan to Ricarda’s 30 years as a chef in fine restaurants and neighborhood eateries.

“I make everything from scratch,” Burnett said. “I love cooking and I love changing the menu to take advantage of whatever growing season we’re in.”

Although many items are vegan or gluten free, Burnett says she’s happy to tweak the vegetarian dishes to be vegan or gluten-free. Jeff says “nearly everything” is grown in the islands, much of it in his own garden or by “the best local organic farmers.”

Bagels and tortillas are all freshly house-made, and all bread, rolls and buns are brought in daily from Bakery San

On Aug. 16, Trevor Kent Easterbrook, 27, was ordered to serve 60 days in jail and pay $2,830 in fines and fees as part of a sentence handed down in San Juan County Superior Court. Three weeks earlier, Easterbrook pleaded guilty in superior court to two counts of delivery of cocaine, a Class B felony, and to one count of attempted possession of cocaine, a Class C felony.

Easterbrook was taken into custody at his Friday Harbor home in mid-February after a team of officers, armed with a search warrant, confronted the 26-year-old on the doorstep of his residence in Sunshine Alley, at about 11 p.m.

Four people were inside the home, in addition to Easterbrook, at the time.

According to court documents, officers reportedly seized nearly a half-dozen electronic scales and 46 grams of cocaine - onetenth of a pound, with an estimated “street value” of roughly $4,000. An island resident of about 10 years, Easterbrook became the target of an undercover investigation a year ago in early September after he reportedly sold several grams of cocaine on three separate occasions — totaling $680 — to an informant recruited by the Sheriff ’s Department.

A Class B felony, delivery of a controlled substance carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state is 12-20 months in prison.

As a first-time offender, Easterbrook qualified for

a sentence below the state standard.

Homeless man gets four months felony assault

One month to the day after he was arrested for brandishing a knife and threatening a grocery store employee who chased after him for shoplifting, a 33-year-old man was sentenced to four months in jail for felony assault.

On Aug. 6, Stanley Vincent Sing, identified as homeless, pleaded guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of second-degree assault, a Class B felony, and to one count of third-degree theft, a gross misdemeanor. He was ordered to serve four months in jail, credited with having served 31 days of the sentence, and ordered to pay $876 in fines and fees.

According to court documents, two employees of Orcas Island’s Island Market saw Sing shoplift on several occasions July 6, and one trailed after him when he left the Eastsound grocery store. Sing reportedly pulled a knife on the man, threatened him, and then took off on foot in the direction of Crescent Beach. Deputies later found him near the beach, hiding in the brush, and took him into custody.

A Class B felony, seconddegree assault carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $25,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state is 3-9 months in jail.

Committee, fielded questions about veterans’ benefits from about a half-dozen former military men at the American Legion Hall in Friday Harbor, the second stop on the tour. It was also the fifth of five forums tailored for veterans along Larsen’s week-long tour of the state’s 2nd congressional district, which consists of San Juan and Island counties, and large portions in the western regions of Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties as well.

Larsen said the Veterans Administration has whittled down a backlog of up to 640,000 cases nationwide to about 480,000 cases over the past three months, a 25 percent reduction. The VA’s caseload swelled by about 230,000 in just two weeks after Congress passed the so-called “Agent Orange Bill”, tailored for illness suffered by Vietnam War veterans, about two years ago, he noted.

“From the congressional side, what we’re trying to do is first off meet this goal and second make sure they have the resources to meet that goal.”

At the tour’s final stop, Larsen surveyed the charred remains of the Port of Friday Harbor building that until Aug. 17 was home of Downriggers Restaurant. The congressman spoke with several business owners displaced by the blaze and was briefed about the fire, what happens next by port and town officials. For now, he said it appears federal resources may not be needed to renovate the site.

“The message I”m getting from the folks here is that they’re heading forward and moving ahead,” he said.

The Washington State Department of Archaeology & Preservation is accepting applications for funding through the Heritage Barn Rehabilitation Grant Program.

Part of the state’s Heritage Barn Preservation Initiative established in 2007, the grant program assists with rehabilitation projects designed to stabilize and preserve designated Heritage Barns across the state.

Heritage Barn Grant funding has provided assistance to 46 Heritage Barns throughout Washington.

“This program is made possible because of the tremendous dedication and passion owners have for their historic barns,” said Jerri Honeyford, Chair of the Barn Advisory Committee that oversees the initiative. “Washington’s agricultural heritage is a rich component of our state’s history and we applaud those who continue to serve as stewards of these remarkable structures.”

Rehabilitation grants are awarded through a competitive application process. In three funding rounds, the Barn Advisory Committee has reviewed nearly 240 grant applications. Criteria for funding include the historical significance of the barn, urgency of needed repairs, and provision for long-term preservation. Priority is given to barns that remain in agricultural use.

“The Heritage Barn Preservation Initiative has achieved the objectives of saving historic barns while raising awareness and educating the public about the role agriculture continues to play in terms of economic development and heritage tourism,” notes Dr. Allyson Brooks, director of the State Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation.

“Washington State now boasts over 500 designated Heritage Barns spread across all 39 counties statewide, and our agency looks forward to building on the success of the program in the coming biennium.”

UW Medicine and PeaceHealth are negotiating a proposed collaboration involving referrals between the two systems and provision of medical and educational services by UW Medicine.

“Our board of commissioners has worked very hard to make the best decision for this community to retain and grow quality health-care services for our patients,” said Vince Oliver, Island Hospital CEO. The press release did not elaborate the reasons the hospital district commissioners and hospital executives decided not to join the affiliation negotiations.

Alison Shaw, clinic manager at the Orcas Medical Center, commented on the action of Island Hospital, which operates OMC under contract with the Orcas Medical Foundation, which owns the clinic: “OMC fully respects and agrees with the decision of the IH Board of Commissioners, who went to great lengths to listen carefully not only to the communities in and around Anacortes, but also in the San Juans.

Although it appears that a decision to affiliate is deferred until a later date, the decision yesterday demonstrates the Board of Commissioner’s commitment to the hospital, its clinics, and the community in providing the full range of services to its patients as provided under Washington State law.”

thought the AG opinion requires of hospital districts in general or Peace Island Medical Center specifically.

Commissioner Rosanna O’Donnell said the issue “comes down to interpretation” of the opinion, concluding later that “I need to be told by our attorney what to do.”

Chairwoman Lenore Bayuk said that attorney Bradley Berg, who had represented the district in the negotiations creating Peace Island Medical Center, was preparing an analysis of the opinion for the hospital district association which the San Juan County commission would be guided by.

Commissioner Michael Edwards insisted he and the hospital district would hold Peace Island accountable for the services required by state law. “When we obtain an opinion, we will act,” he said.

Under the 50-year contract between the hospital district and the PeaceHealth system, about $1 million dollars in property tax revenues are provided to Peace Island Medical Center for health care services to islanders.

A standing-room-only group of islanders urged the commission to advocate for the islanders who elect the commissioners and pay the taxes. Charles Richardson told the commission, “I need you to represent me with Peace Health.”

Monica Harrington told the commission that the opinion, state law and the state constitution were clear that religious directives from the Catholic bishops “must not restrict access to health care services.”

Susan Dehlendorf (“Be open to doing something different”), Barbara Cox (“The death with dignity option must be available here”, Gay Wilmerding and a half-dozen other islanders expressed concern with the hospital commission’s policies and actions.

Many in the audience seemed to agree with Harrington, who said “this is a bigger issue than women’s reproductive services. We need to be assertive about patient rights. businesses that were in the Spring Street Landing before the fire will be there when a rebuilt Spring Street Landing is reopened.”

O’Connor said she would not disclose anything she was told about the cause or location of the fire “until we have received the definitive written report” from the team of investigators who completed their work last week. She also would not confirm speculation that the fast work of the inves-

tigators (they were finished by last Thursday) meant that nothing was found that suggested arson as a cause.

News briefs PA backs light touch by feds on state pot laws

Prosecutor Randy Gaylord responded approvingly to a “guidance memorandum” issued Aug. 29

by Deputy Attorney General Jam e s Cole to all Randy Gaylord U.S. attorneys regarding enforcement of federal drug laws in states that have enacted legalization initiatives and “medical marijuana” laws.

That memorandum, and two earlier memoranda in 2009 and 2011, reminds U.S. Attorneys, including Washington U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan, to use “limited investigative and prosecutorial resources to address the most significant threats in the most effective, consistent and rational way.”

That is being interpreted to mean that federal authorities will not prosecute consumption and possession of marijuana in small amounts under state legalization and medical marijuana laws.

The DOJ memorandum qualifies its hands-off policy with the requirement that states and local governments must have “strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems” to assure that the eight federal

priorities in the memorandum are followed.

Gaylord’s statement about the Department of Justice guidelines cautioned, “Only some marijuana activities have been legalized. It remains illegal for minors to possess or consume marijuana or for adults to provide marijuana to minors… [or] to drive a motor vehicle while under the influence of any drug.”

Friday Harbor to salute fallen heroes of Sept. 11

With a theme of “I will perform a good deed on 9/11,” Friday Harbor will join hundreds of other communities across the county in a “National Day of Service and Remembrance” on Sept. 11.

The ceremony will begin at 9 a.m. at Memorial Park.

San Juan Island Fire Chief Steve Marler will conduct a “five-bell ceremony” in honor of the fallen. Mayor Carrie Lacher will read a proclamation and an invocation will be delivered by Pastor Joe Bettridge. The American Legion color guard will present the colors.

Grade school classes have been asked to give back to the community by choosing a project to be completed in the coming days, to be announced by new elementary School principal Diane Ball at the ceremony.

Islanders ought to be priority one for hospital board In light of recent A.G. opinion, who calls the shots on health care services

R

egulatory capture occurs when a regulatory agency, created to act in the public interest, instead advances the commercial or special concerns of interest groups that dominate the industry or sector it is charged with regulating.” (Wikipedia) I attended the San Juan County Hospital District Board meeting Wednesday, Aug. 28. The agenda included a discussion about the response to a recent opinion by the Washington state Attorney General stating that if a public hospital provided any maternity services, they must provide the full range of reproductive healthcare services. Many in this community believe that our new hospital is not in compliance with that AG opinion.

At the meeting, I asked the commissioners whether they felt the hospital district, and the hospital, were providing the appropriate range of services. What was the commissioners’ vision of what healthcare should look like in the county, and based on that, do the services being delivered meet that vision?

I was amazed to hear that only one of the five commissioners was willing to express an opinion about that. The

other four said they had not yet formed an opinion. I would have thought their core responsibility as commissioners would be to have a vision of what healthcare services should be available to residents of the hospital district, and to do what they could to ensure those services were available.

It is hard to understand that at this point four of the five commissioners have not even formed an opinion.

It’s also troubling, because there seemed to be a lack of clarity as to which reproductive health services are currently available. I would have thought the hospital district board commissioners would be in the best position to know what healthcare services are available. It was not clear by their comments that the commissioners do know. And if there is confusion among the commissioners, how can the general public be expected to know?

It appears to me that rather than determining which healthcare services should be available, the commissioners are allowing PeaceHealth to tell us what services Peace Health (and the Catholic Bishops) are willing to provide.

Shouldn’t the board be telling PeaceHealth what services they need to provide in order to receive taxpayer funds?

“Regulatory capture” may describe what has happened here.

It seems to me that the hospital commissioners are operating almost as a subsidiary of PeaceHealth, representing their interests, rather than as an independent body representing the interests of the taxpayers who elected them and who are providing tax money to fund the operation of the hospital.

I appreciate that the commissioners are in a difficult position. And the new hospital is a beautiful facility due to the efforts of many. But by making the decision to sign a 50-year contract with PeaceHealth, without an advisory vote from the taxpayers, they chose to take full responsibility for the implications of that decision.

I look forward to hearing from the commissioners who they believe should determine what services should be available through the hospital: the hospital commissioners and the community they represent, or PeaceHealth and the Catholic Bishops. And if it is the hospital commissioners, as our representatives, we need to hear what services they believe should be available, and how they intend to ensure those services are provided.

Ready, set, go Our orcas and a ‘Dream Come True’

U

p for a challenge?

After the 33 per cent voter turnout for the only race on the Aug. 7 primary ballot, local voters can reclaim esteem as believers in the democratic process by pushing the turnout back into the 70 percent range for the Nov. 5 general election.

If simple citizenship isn’t enough to convince you to vote, maybe contested races for the San Juan Hospital Commission (Mark Schwinge vs.

Howie Rosenfeld), Friday Harbor Town Council (Farhad Ghatan vs. Matt Shildneck), Port of Friday Harbor Commission (Mike Ahrenius vs.

Daniel Miller), or Port of Lopez Commission (Bob Porter vs. Dan Post) might get you to mark your ballot and mail it in.

The Journal issues two challenges for the upcoming election.

To voters: pay attention, get involved. Read the online voters pamphlet on the county elections website. Call the candidates (their phone numbers are also on the county website), turn out for voter forums, and inform yourself on the issues — and read about the issues and candidates in the Journal, the Sounder and the Weekly.

Our challenge to candidates: conduct an active campaign — doorbell, buttonhole voters on the streets, write op-eds explaining yourself and your positions on the issues, make yourself available. Tell us how many voters you personally talk with: we’ll be happy to tell the voters who is campaigning the hardest.

For our part, this paper will dedicate itself to making the election come alive for the community. We will prod the candidates to campaign vigorously and to tell the voters where they stand on issues, like hospital reproductive services, port waterfront rebuilding and town utility rates.

Former U.S. House Speaker Tip O’Neill is famous for saying, “All politics is local.”

He was right - and this election is your chance to prove it.

Coincidence? I don’t think so; orcas arrive en masse when needed most

By Heather MacIntyre Special to the Journal

I

don’t believe in coincidence. A week ago, I met the most amazing little girl named Emily who came all the way from Michigan to see our famous resident orcas. Our captain, Mike, and Emily, and I shared in what turned out to be one of the most equally heartwarming and heartwrenching experiences of my life.

Emily and her family were on a whale-watching tour with the company I work for, San Juan Safaris, and I was her naturalist. They were aboard the M/V Sea Lion because of the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Emily has cystic fibrosis, and at just 13 years old, life has been an uphill battle for her. Emily’s lifelong wish was to observe orcas in the wild. With as much time as the resident orcas have been spending away from San Juan Island this summer (due to the lack of food source), I was definitely feeling the pressure. What if the orcas weren’t around the Salish Sea while she was here?

As it turned out, the resident orcas did come back early that morning, and Emily and I got to witness some of the most amazing behavior from orcas I have ever seen.

Not only were there orcas in the area, but all 82 whales in the local population were in attendance, a phenomenon referred to as a “superpod”.

We had orcas everywhere; our major problem was trying not to miss anything while looking in the opposite direction. The orcas were communicating and vocalizing more than I’ve ever heard before, as if to say, “Hi Emily, we’re here for you.” We had groups of orcas coming out of the water — spyhopping in large groups, breaching in synchronicity, and all coming up to the boat to satisfy their curiosity and/ or to show support for Emily.

Like I said, I don’t believe in coincidence. The positive energy and vibes that Capt. Mike and I were feeling from

the whales could only be stemming from one thing: Emily’s presence on the boat.

The orcas, it seemed, knew exactly what they were doing when they surrounded our boat, and why Emily was there.

These orcas have a completely different level of consciousness than humans; one that’s more understanding, compassionate, and knowing. Emily got to witness behavior from orcas that I have only read about happening in rare, unique cases.

Someday soon, Emily is going to be lying in a hospital bed fighting for her life once more. She will cling to the memory of the orcas though her darkest of hours, and I feel immensely blessed to have been a part of that. I will be forever grateful to these huge black and white mammals, who seem like family, for giving her an experience that she will never forget.

News Briefs Soroptimists donate $5K to community service groups

S o r o p t i m i s t s International of Friday Harbor started off their fiscal year by providing $5,000 in additional funding to two vital community organizations. The club gave $2,500 each to Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services of San Juan County and the Family Resource Center in Friday Harbor.

These funds are in addition to annual grants Soroptimists provide to these two organizations, whose services directly support the Soroptimist mission.

The Family Resource Center is a drop-in, resource and referral center for community members that helps families use social services in San Juan County. DVSAS works to prevent domestic violence and sexual assault and to provide services and support to victims.

S o r o p t i m i s t International is a service club with a mission to improve lives and opportunities for women and girls in local communities and around the world. The Friday Harbor Chapter, www.sifri.org, raises funds, provides volunteers for community programs, and provides grants and scholarships to individuals and organizations to advance that mission.

Transpo voucher program: here comes phase 2

San Juan County is relaunching its popular Transportation Voucher Program in September and will be operating through June of 2015. While the first round of the Voucher Program closed this past June, the program is now accepting applications again.

The first phase of the county wide program saw significant use by its participants over its first nine

months; every month averaged 160 taxi rides, 35-45 ferry fares, and repairing and making safer 6-8 vehicles.

The voucher program served over 180 of the community’s most transportation-vulnerable residents, equal to about 1.5 percent of the county population.

The program represents a unique public-private partnership of transportation providers and local social services, to provide community access for program participants.

The program offers taxi service and ferry fare assistance on San Juan, Orcas and Lopez islands, and auto repair and parts services on Orcas and San Juan.

Ferry fares are acquired through partnership with the Family Resource Centers.

Applications for the voucher program are available online at: http://w w w.sanjuanco. com/PublicTransp or t/ CTPrograms.aspx, or through local senior centers and family resource

centers.

Applications and additional information are also available through San Juan County’s Mobility Coordinator, Christopher Aiken, phone: 360-3707512, or email: christophera@sanjuanco.com.

Florence ‘Betty’ Jones October 16th, 1925 to August 26th, 2013

Florence was surrounded by family and friends when she lost her courageous battle with pneumonia at the Life Care Center of the San Juan’s. Betty, as her friends and family called her, was a 23 year resident of Friday Harbor, Washington. Services will be held Saturday, September 7th at Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church at 10:30 A.M. Reception to follow at the church.

Betty grew up and attended schools in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her hobbies included Photography and skiing.

She attended secretarial school in Philadelphia and was later hired by the Industrial Mining & Materials Department at Pennsylvania State University.

She was taking classes at Penn State when she met her future husband, Robert (‘Bob’) Jones. After Bob graduated from college, they married in 1953 and honeymooned in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky & Georgia. They later moved to Southern California where they eventually settled in Westchester, California to raise their four children Gwen, Kevin, Megan and Keith. Betty was the original “Super mom” as she juggled work and managed a busy household while her husband often traveled for work in the aerospace industry. Betty volunteered at her children’s schools, sold Encyclopedia Books door-to-door (breaking sales quotas in her area), headed her daughter’s Brownie and Girl Scout troops and oversaw a menagerie of her children’s exotic pets included among other things dogs, cats, snakes, rats, a squirrel monkey and a baby alligator!

In the early sixties Betty contracted encephalitis and was rendered partiatially disabled but continued to persevere to overcome her deficiencies. She began a long career as a volunteer for her local Red Cross and American Cancer Society chapters and was recognized often with awards for her dedication and commitment. She pursued both water color and oil painting and later won awards for her beautiful works.

Betty and Bob later divorced in the mid seventies but continued to jointly raise their children as they both continued to live in Westchester.

In 1991, Betty moved to the San Juan Islands to be closer to her daughter, long-time resident Megan Jones. Many an islander quickly got to know Betty as the woman with the brightest smile and cheerful personality walking briskly through town. She loved to take the beautiful walk from her apartment on Carter Ave into town. Betty quickly got involved in local community organizations such as the Friday Harbor Senior Center and her favorite, the Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church. Sunday morning services were the highlight of her week as she often joined the ladies for brunch afterward.

Betty’s life on the island included attending many annual island celebrations including the annual 4th of July Parade (she always arrived very early to secure her spot in front of the Drug store) and the San Juan Island County Fair. Frequent visits from her daughter Megan were always a treat as Megan often showered Betty with beautiful flower arrangements from her garden and kisses from her dog Jessie. Betty’s other children visited often, Gwen (now deceased) from Carlsbad, California; Kevin from Stockholm, Sweden; and Keith from Culver City, California. Betty was especially enamored with her son Keith’s two children Austin (age 7), Kenny (age 3) and her daughter in-law Debbie (Keith’s wife). All four were able to visit with Betty the week before she passed making their last visit all the more special.

Betty is survived by her three children Kevin Jones of Santa Barbara, California & Stockholm Sweden; Megan Jones of Friday Harbor, Washington; and Keith & Debbie Jones of Culver City, California and her two grandchildren, Austin Furlong Jones and Kenneth Leiker Jones.

Donations can be made to National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) in memory of Florence ‘Betty’ Jones; P.O. Box 62596; Baltimore, Maryland 21264 or online at www.nami.org/myNAMICause/ Memorials/FlorenceBettyJones.

The Jones Family wishes to convey our great appreciation and many thanks to the entire San Juan Island community, Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church & Kids Club and especially the staff at the Life Care Center of the San Juan’s for all the years of joy and comfort you gave our mom. We will always be grateful.

Theatre, and had key roles in performances of Inherit the Wind, The King and I, Man of La Mancha, Hello, Dolly!, H.M.S. Pinafore and many others. He also played Joseph in Friday Harbor’s annual holiday performance of the Posada.

Dick will be remembered for his Contributed photo sense of humor, his love of music and Richard (Dick) Barnes theater, his dedication to animals, especially his own dogs and cats, and his longtime love of San Juan Island.

He is survived by his sons, Brent Barnes of Post Falls, Idaho, and Eric (Laura) Concord of Friday Harbor, daughter Kristi (Gary) Roundtree of Seattle, brother Doug (Diane) Barnes of Sparks, Nev. and their son Chris, sister Jane Broadwater-Redfern of Friday Harbor and her son Sam, 10 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

A public memorial to honor Dick’s life will be held on Saturday, Sept. 14 at 11 a.m., at Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church.

Around Town On Book! ‘Seven’ kicks off autumn Readers Theatre

The next in the series of San Juan Community Theatre’s free OnBook!

Readers Theatre centers on women leaders in the play, “SEVEN”, Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 16-17, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Let’s set the stage.

In 2006, seven awardwinning playwrights joined together to create a documentary theatre piece for Vital Voices Global Partnership whose president, Alyse Nelson, then connected them with seven women from its large international network of accomplished women leaders.

Over many months the playwrights worked individually, collecting interviews from each of the extraordinary women and created seven monologues that illuminated the women’s inspiring journeys, and then, collaboratively they worked together to weave the acclaimed documentary play.

The local production

of SEVEN is directed by Julie Laidlaw and will be presented on the Whittier stage. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. with festival seating.

Admission is free.

For more information on the series and other Theatre events, visit www.sjctheatre. org.

Verheyen: up close & solo Head of the class Carl Verheyen, recognized as one of the top ten guitarists in the world by Guitar magazine, comes to Friday Harbor once again on Sunday, Sept. 8.

He'll be playing in the San Juan Island Community Theatre's intimate Gubelman Theatre at 7:30 p.m.

This time it’s simply Carl! After several Whittier Theatre visits from Verheyen and his band, islanders now get the chance listen to Carl in a solo performance up close and personal in the Gubelman.

As a member of the rock group Supertramp since 1985, Carl has played to millions of enthusiastic fans worldwide. As both a solo artist and as the creative force behind the Carl Verheyen Band, he has released an impressive and eclectic discography that showcases endless talent.

He is also one of Los Angeles’ elite “first call” session players and has played with a virtual who’s who of the music industry: everyone from Christina Aguilera, Dolly Parton and B.B. King to the Bee Gees, Cher and Little Richard. His movie soundtrack credits include The Crow and The Usual Suspects, and he can be heard as a featured soloist in the Pixar film Ratatouille.

In an exclusive interview with the Journal before an earlier appearance in Friday Harbor, Verheyen spoke about his art and his career: Journal: What make of guitar is your favorite? CV: The Fender Stratocaster is ground-zero for an electric guitar for me.

I’ll take one on the road with me no matter what. They’ve been making it now for 50 years with really no changes because, in my opinion, they got it right the first time.

you were young? CV: It was guys like George Harrison and Roger McGuinn of the Byrds that really hooked me at first. But once I heard Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, who I consider to be real guitar virtuosos, that really put me over the top. And then when I heard jazz music, so much more opened up for me musically.

Journal: How did Friday Harbor become a regular venue for you? CV: I have a dear friend in Friday Harbor who I’ve known since the second grade. We were playing a show in Seattle some years ago and we just decided to go up there and see how it went, and the first time we played there we played to a sold-out theater. I love the islands.

The performance uses festival seating. All tickets, $25.
